Danica Patrick No. 7 Team GoDaddy.com

Danica Patrick No. 7 Team GoDaddy.com

ST. PETERSBURG - Maybe Danica Patrick had some vocal supporters sitting directly behind her pit, and she treated them to a solid performance Monday in the Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg.

The IndyCar Series' most popular driver overcame a 21st-place starting spot, avoiding mistakes on a track that was slick for the first few laps, and finished seventh.

That tied for her second-best effort at St. Pete (she was sixth in 2006), and it was best among the four drivers entered by Andretti Autosport (formerly Andretti Green Racing).

Danica Patrick

"At the beginning of the day, I said if I can finish in the top six, that would be an awesome day," Patrick said. "We almost did. Dario (Franchitti) was definitely fast. He passed me and left with no problem, so that was going to be a hard one to hold off.

"I managed to hold off the rest of them. I know there are probably not a lot of people leaving this track really pleased, because I'm sure they felt held up, but if I was on 'blacks' (tires), I think it would have been different."

Patrick had to run the last 28-30 laps of the race on red-sidewall tires, because there were no caution flags over the last 22 laps. The "reds" provide extra grip but wear out faster.

"The last 12 laps or so, they were a handful," Patrick said. "I was just hoping time would go much quicker than what it felt like out there. So when I heard four to go, I was like, 'grab it girl, and go.' ... I was doing everything I could."

Franchitti, the defending series champion, overcame a spin on the first lap and had one of the fastest cars on the track late in the race. He passed Patrick with a few laps to go and wound up fifth.

Patrick's full-time teammates, Tony Kanaan and Marco Andretti, finished 10th and 12th. Ryan Hunter-Reay, who has five-race deal with the team and is hoping to land full-time sponsorship, finished 11th.

Team owner Michael Andretti said Patrick's team did the job of the organization's four cars.

"She did a good job," he said. "That team did all the right things on the strategy and everything. They got her up there, got her track position, and she was able to keep most of them (back), so it was good."

Teammate trouble

Tony Kanaan and Marco Andretti had a run-in on Lap 33 that team owner Michael Andretti said "ruined both of their races." Each had to make an unscheduled pit stop afterward, and they finished 10th and 12th.

"I don't really know what happened when Marco and I got together," Kanaan said. "He slowed down in front of me, and I hit him. ... Nowadays, you just can't afford any mistakes. The series is too competitive."

Marco Andretti didn't comment. Kanaan said he didn't want to talk about the incident further without first watching the video with Andretti.

The two teammates had a disagreement in the 2008 Indianapolis 500. Kanaan was leading just past the halfway point when he was passed by Scott Dixon and Andretti. Kanaan spun and was blindsided by Sarah Fisher.

Afterward, Kanaan said Andretti didn't give him enough room to race.

Asked Monday if the teammates need to communicate better, Michael Andretti said that wasn't the issue.

"They needed to take care of each other out there, and they didn't," he said.

Odds and ends

St. Petersburg's Dan Wheldon finished 10th after a right suspension failure led to a crash during the middle of the race. He started 15th and moved into the top 10 early before the incident. ... Graham Rahal, who won the Grand Prix two years ago at age 19, was never a factor, but by finishing ninth, he gave lower-budget Sarah Fisher Racing its first top-10 finish. The race marked the first time Fisher watched the car she normally drives from the timing stand. "Graham did an exceptional job," she said.

Maria Sharapova boyfriend

Maria Sharapova and her boyfriend

Life happens when you are not on the court ALL the time. Blogs are reporting that Maria Sharapova dates Charlie Ebersol, the son of NBC sports chairman Dick Ebersol and actress Susan Saint James. According to New York Daily News, Sharapova joked that “my boyfriend will probably outbid you” before putting herself up for auction at the Bryan Brothers’ All-Star Tennis Smash charity event last weekend. However, one lucky guy won a date with the Russian tennis star - for $10,000. Charlie first received media attention when he and his father survived a 2004 charter plane crash that took the lives of two crew members and Charlie’s younger brother. Since then, Charlie has become a film producer, collaborating with Ashton Kutcher on the documentary Ithuteng (Never Stop Learning). The film debutes on HBO on Dec. 3.

Malaysia's State-of-the-Art Modern-Tropical University Campus

Taylor's Lakeside Campus Set To Open In 2010!

The commencement of work for the RM450 million Taylor's Lakeside Campus in early 2007 is indeed an exciting phase in the 40-year-old history of Taylor's, and underscores its continued commitment to self-development. It marks another major milestone for the institution, where great strides have been made since 1969.

The Lakeside Campus will house all existing tertiary programmes under one roof. Set on 27 acres of tropical greenery near Jalan PJS 7/5, the campus is surrounded by a revived 5.5 acre man-made lake, as well as a landscape of water plants, trees and flowering shrubs, and groundcover that provides a rich and stimulating natural environment in the neighbourhood.

The completion of Taylor's Lakeside Campus is another step forward towards realising Taylor's mission to become a university of 20,000 students renowned for its teaching excellence and the distinctive quality of its graduates.

From the Main Drop-off down the Grand Staircase, proceed to the University Square and Amphitheatre. This popular and important gathering area will be flanked by the Commercial Block, Residences and Hotel on the west, Administration Offices, Student Union and a Multi-Purpose Hall on the north, Academic Blocks on the east and the lake on the south.

Plays, recitals and other performances will be staged at the 'Art Precinct', formed by the Experimental Theatre, the 600-pax Auditorium, 300-pax Lecture Theatre and the outdoor Amphitheatre. The pride of the campus will undeniably be the Library, a splendid 4-storey glass edifice that warrants panoramic views of the lake.

Sheltered, landscaped promenades will provide easy access to scores of world-class facilities. Restaurants, culinary suites and housekeeping suites for the Hospitality, Tourism and Culinary Arts faculty. Fully-equipped laboratories for advancing skills and knowledge in Science, Computer, Audio and Video, Engineering and Architecture, Building and Design. A Moot Court for lawyers to practice making a case.

The beautiful new Taylor's Lakeside Campus will provide all the right conditions for a vibrant exchange between academic, commercial, social and leisure activities. More than just a home to the student population, it will be the nurturing ground for an energetic and dynamic new community.

Taylor's Lakeside Campus will be the vehicle for Taylor's to further enhance the delivery of its purpose, which is to educate the youth of the world to take their productive place as leaders in the global community.

MALAYSIAN CELEBRITIES GO GREEN

Baki Zainal took one look at the sky and decided it was time his nephews relived his childhood of grass romping and water splashing. In an impromptu decision, he bundled them together, changed them all into swimmers and brought them to the Sg Ulu Yam near Genting Highlands.

But when they actually arrived at the river, it was a sight Baki could not erase from his mind.

Plastic bags floated along the bank of the river. Aluminum cans, papers, plastic bottles, snack wrappers...

A lone yellow butterfly, unable to find its natural food, landed on an empty Mamee packet, attracted by its similar yellow tones, eating the leftover Ajinomoto flavouring.

For the next hour, Baki and his 3 nephews slowly and meticulously, gathered the rubbish, only able to clear a 5 meter radius.

And that thought. The thought of his nephews. His future kids. Not being able to swim and play in mother nature as he did...

It was what made him decide that he needed to not just sit and wait for people to realize what they are doing, but to get up and actually *do *something.

In October 2009, together with Azizi Zakaria, Dina, and Soo Wincci, Baki formed Malaysian Celebrities Go Green.

Partnering with Kiehl's, also known for their environmentalist movements, they gathered more celebrities in different events and junctures to get the word out on Going Green.

Most recently, the Fantastic-MCGG-Four, together with the Leo Clubs of Ipoh, went to Sungai Kinta to clean a part of the river. Yes. You read right. Clean.

Soo Wincci, ex-Miss Malaysia, rushed back to Malaysia from Taiwan just to participate in this environmental movement. Beauty queen or no, she too dug her hands into the grime in hopes of making a positive impact.

Azizi Zakaria quipped, “Many may think that celebrities do this sort of things to obtain glamour and popularity. Well for me, I’d rather look at it from a different perspective! I would say that I *am* indeed using my popularity to show support! If my fans out there would start using one less a plastic bag in support of what I do, then... why not? At least, it got someone’s attention!”

So true isn't it?

The celebs are doing it. The kids are doing it. Isn't it about time we did it? Go green people. And I don't mean Shrekalike.

Making This World A Greener Place

Holiday Inn Melaka today visited SRJK Pay Fong 3 Primary School to speak to students about the importance of conservations as part of the company’s CSR project. The key to create a meaningful environmental change starting from schools is to get buy-in and support from parents, teachers and most importantly to instill and nurture the younger generation on saving the planet.

This eco school going project will be conducted by colleagues of Holiday Inn Melaka throughout the year who will be visiting different primary schools in Melaka each Mondays to speak about the importance of conservations. Each visit will be conducted in 30 minutes followed by activities to make a lasting impression on the students about eco projects.

“The objective of this community project is to help sustain life in forests, rivers, villages, cities and the community. We want a better life for our future generations and we conduct all CSR projects based on 4 Es (eg: Education, Entrepreneurship, Expression of Care and Environment) which is lined up for the year. This school eco project falls under the Education pillar where we would like to instill good conservation knowledge starting from the younger generation,” commented Christoph Voegeli, General Manager of Holiday Inn Melaka who is currently supporting all ongoing CSR projects such as Green Engage where the objective is to reduce energy, water and waste covering every aspect of the hotel lifecycle and rainwater harvesting where harvesting systems collect rainwater in tanks and it's an effective and low-cost way of reducing demand on water supplies.

“Schools will serve as a catalyst for the community at large. We call this the “spillover effect” of the green initiative. By involving parents, teachers, administrators and local businesses in this, we find that the environmentally responsible behavior that is modeled at school is taken into the community at large. Parents who see recycling in the classrooms often report reinforcing that behavior at home, and working to institute recycling at work, as well. Communities who support the efforts of green initiative in schools often look for ways to expand recycling and waste reduction efforts citywide and I am very happy to see Holiday Inn Melaka initiating such responsible project,” mentioned Mr Peter Tseng, one of the boards of directors for the school who attended the event.

The launch was also attended by Malaysian Celebrities Go Green (www.mcg2.com) co-founders, actor/host Baki Zainal from 8TV, Soo Wincci, Miss Malaysia and singers Dina Nadzir and Azizi Zakaria and our business partner, DiGi Telecommunications Sdn Bhd led by Michel Mah, Regional Head and team.

Founder of MCG2 Baki Zainal said, "We hope that as celebrities, we will be able to use our celebrity status to bring Eco-projects to another level, reaching out to more people". Up and rising singer, Azizi also added that even though he has a busy schedule, he still champions something that he believes in as MCG2 encourages the younger generation to instil the love of taking care of our mother nature!” SooWincci, Miss Malaysia Universe 2008/09 presenter now stressed that her fans out there would use one less a plastic bag a day. Thus turning "green" would be easier for our nation.

Our next upcoming project is to work with our business partner in a Beach Clean Up and supporting Earth Hour where 2800 bulbs will be switched off on the 27th March 2010 @ 8:30pm for an hour. Last but not least, we are still looking for volunteers to donate as much Ring Pulls as possible for us to continue sending it to the Prosthesis Centre in order to donate more artificial limbs to the disabled. Together we can make world a better place.

Green Day Copyright Infringement of Scream Art

Immediately following a Green Day concert in LA last August, local artist Dereck Seltzer began receiving calls and emails, alerting him that his ‘Scream Icon’ art was being used as the backdrop to the show. Seltzer was surprised, since he had no previous contact with the band. Scream Icon was copyrighted by Seltzer in 2003. When he approached the band, complaining that they had used the art without regard for the registered copyright, they offered him concert tickets in settlement. Green Day continues to use artwork in promotional materials and backdrops.

Seltzer filed a complaint in the Central District of Los Angeles and is suing Green Day for Copyright Infringement, and unfair competition and false designation under Section 43(a) of the Lanham Act. However, Green Day’s attorney, Don Passman claims that "Green Day received Mr. Seltzer's image from a responsible company and was unaware that there could be any copyright or other issues."

It’s hard to be too careful about usage of graphics and artwork, and it’s important to know the actual source. Although it may seem harmless, much of it is legitimately copyrighted material. Even more important to be careful when dozens of sold out stadiums will be viewing the art in question.

Supermodel Amber Chia

Supermodel Amber Chia confirmed in a Tweet on Monday that she has married to her boyfriend of one-and-a-half years in Bali but declined to reveal her new husband’s identity.

Even the pre-wedding pictures of them in Bali, released by Amber’s publicity company Orchan Consulting Asia, revealed little of the groom’s face.

Amber was apologetic about not wanting to reveal her husband’s identity because of his “shy nature” and her desire to keep him out of the spotlight.

A statement by Orchan said that the couple’s exclusive wedding ceremony was held at the Diwangkara Holiday Villa Resort in Bali on Thursday after five months of planning.

It was attended by 40 friends and members from both sides of the family, including celebrity friends like TV host Daphne Iking, violinist Dennis Lau and catwalk guru Benjamin Toong.

Amber's wedding dresses, seven in total, were specifically designed for her by two of Malaysia's top designers, Keith Kee and Alvin Tay.

No further details of “Mr Amber Chia” were released, except that he was a Malaysian businessman with businesses in Australia and Hong Kong.

Pre-wedding photographs of Amber and her husband, taken at scenic locations around the island were also released.

However, they were composed in such a way that they do not reveal too much of the groom’s face.

Amber said she and her husband were looking forward to settling into life together and motherhood was in the books for Amber, 28.

“We have discussed the future, and we definitely want to start a family together,” said Amber in the statement, adding she would love to be a mother before she was 30.

The statement said that due to Amber's tight schedule and the upcoming honeymoon, the couple were prepared to meet the media only after end-April.
