Venus and the Crescent Moon..

Last May 16, saw this magnificent glimpse of Venus sitting on top of the crescent moon..

Cole to Madrid, Kaka to Chelsea

Swap, swap, swap. i cant imagine, its happening also in Fifas world. Thought it will only appear in NBA..

According to a report in italpress, the deal is very much on the cards, with both clubs seeking to bolster their squads for the coming season.

Cole became the most decorated player in FA Cup history when Chelsea lifted the cup last weekend at Wembley and has been an integral part of Carlo Ancelotti's triumphant first season as the Blues coach.

The former Arsenal man had a tumultuous season off the pitch, with his wife, Cheryl Cole, seeking a divorce after Cole's extramarital affairs were brought out to light by the English media.

Kaka on the other hand, has had to play second-fiddle to Cristiano Ronaldo since his summer move from AC Milan, and has failed to reproduce the form that made him a San Siro favourite.

Having paid £56 million for Kaka last summer, the Los Merengues' power players could be tempted to accept the deal and cut their losses as they plan another summer spree in order to have a better chance at the La Liga and Champions League title.

biggest missed dunk ever

oh my, there goes that man!

Look at Kobe's face.. Amazed? or Funny..haha..

This is really just an awesome picture. Yeah, you can kinda tell that he's missing the dunk, but that doesn't even matter. The line from the ball to his foot is amazing. It's like the super-leaningest (totally a word) dunk attempt ever and it looks great.

Too bad Shannon Brown missed. If he hadn't, we'd be talking about one of the best dunks ever.

Villa - new Catalan giant..

Barcelona have confirmed that they have agreed a fee of 40 million euros with Valencia for Spain striker David Villa.

After five seasons in Valencia, The Spain international has long been linked with a move from Los Che.

"The Spanish international is due in Barcelona on Thursday evening and will have a medical on Friday morning.

"Villa will be officially unveiled as a Barca player at 1330 in the Paris Room of the Camp Nou.

"He'll then make an appearance on the Camp Nou pitch. The stadium doors will be opened to the public."

The 28-year-old scored 107 goals in 166 league matches for Valencia after establishing himself with Real Zaragoza.

Villa's arrival is likely to lead to increased speculation over the futures of Thierry Henry and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Outgoing president Joan Laporta on Tuesday claimed the club were "satisfied" with the 21-goal contribution of Ibrahimovic in his first season since arriving from Inter Milan last summer.

Henry appears on the verge of a move to Major League Soccer, with Laporta also revealing there was "a lot of interest" in the France forward from the United States.

Villa, top scorer at Euro 2008 despite missing the final through injury, was heavily linked with a move away from the Mestalla last summer to ease Valencia's financial troubles.

He reportedly attracted interest from clubs such as Real Madrid, Manchester United and Chelsea as well as Barca, but ultimately stayed put and insisted he was happy to do so.

Motta more important than Ribery - Mourinho

Inter and Munich will be missing important players. Inter is without midfielder Thiago Motta and Munich will line up without winger Franck Ribery, both of whom were sent off in the semifinals.

“Motta’s absence is more important than that of Ribery for Munich,” Mourinho said. “He is a player who has played a Champions League final and would bring that experience with him. He gives our midfield balance and doesn’t give the ball away easily. It is a great shame that he isn’t playing and it only happened because a fellow player did not behave in the correct way.”

Both teams have concerns over flight plans to Spain, with the possibility that further volcanic ash from Iceland will cause havoc with flight schedules in the next few days.

Inter was due to fly to Madrid on Friday, but it may yet leave on Wednesday to avoid any possible ash disruption.

a new Wizard of Oz, John Wall..

The NBA’s draft lottery had been reduced to three teams – the New Jersey Nets, Washington Wizards and Philadelphia 76ers – and John Wall, a bundle of emotions for the previous half-hour, suddenly became quiet. He was watching his future unfold on a TV at the home of his agent. Wall’s childhood friend sat to his left, his advisors on the right, his cell phone buzzing incessantly in front of him. Someone started clapping.t’s also big-time for the Wizards. About four months after Gilbert Arenas(notes) was suspended for brandishing guns in the locker room, followed by trades of the franchise’s other two stars, Antawn Jamison(notes) and Caron Butler(notes), Washington suddenly can envision a brighter future after landing the No. 1 pick in the June draft.

Wall’s big day began Tuesday morning with a workout with former NBA assistant coach Jarinn Akana. He went shopping at the Nike Store in the afternoon then returned to Fegan’s home to watch the announcement with friend Ty Williams and advisors Brian and Dwon Clifton. As the lottery approached, Wall stood on a ledge in the backyard performing his famous “John Wall Dance” for a TV camera crew.

Wall stretched his arms high above him. A picturesque view of Los Angeles served as a backdrop. Wall couldn’t be sure where he was headed, but it didn’t matter. Never had his future seemed so clo
