Zach leaves the Sharks romp

If you have not seen for the past eight victories in a long series. But yesterday it is ready: Ironically Hans Zach ended with his victory, the Hannover Scorpions series of sharks. It is a bad 2:5-swatter. The Sharks were just as beautiful on the record hunt. 13 wins in the series, it was in 2005 by Zach.
That his successor at the KEC, Doug Mason outflanked him, Zach was strictly avoided. Zach makes his guys (with the ex of Cologne Tino Boos, Niki Mondt and Andreas Morczinietz) very hot, still yells a bit louder than usual, the Alpine volcano in his element and the Cologne coach pissed. Mason: "A deserved victory for Hanover. We were not 40 minutes with his head in the game. We need more passion. "In the final minute when his boys Mason can break even the only chat - unusual.
Zach has a good laugh, however: "We were in the tackle and had the necessary luck at the gate." First, it looks good, but for Cologne: Stephane Julien brings the Sharks in front, but then the sharks are unusually passive. The result: Hanover takes the director, within a period of 25 minutes with a 4-1 lead, including two goals from outstanding national Sascha Goc. Julien can still shorter times, but it is not enough for the turn. Eric Nickulas true even in the empty Cologne gateway to 5:2 for the guests.

Marcel plays Wednesday with the sharks at the league leaders, the Miiller-entourage will again cheer in the stands. Mama Urte: "We are so proud of our Marcel." The little brother always wears, even the great jersey from Marcel.
"He himself plays F.A.S.S. Berlin ice hockey. At his age I was not so good. He has talent. And I'm hopefully a model for him, "said Marcel, who was born in Berlin, and between 2005 and 2007 played for the polar bear.
But now he is full of sharks: "Berlin is a club like any other for me, because I do not hang off as much as in the sharks. Here I have one more year contract and then there is perhaps something in North America. But I can also imagine, still playing for a long time in Cologne. Let's see what is better for my career. "
In the last five games he has six goals. Coach Stewart writes of him: "He played very strong, has self-confidence." However, with its 21 years, he has to learn too much. Outside the ice rinks, though he had long lived alone. Marcel laughs: "I'm very independent, most of the friends I have, also, who live all alone. I do not find that I am at 21 am already far ahead of all others. "
Now when he travels to Berlin, swings with a little sadness: "This is finally my home, but I live in Cologne also very happy. That is why I absolutely want to bring three points. We have a course that can brush Berlin, as I'm sure. "

Both would come with a new arrest, never back out of the jail. The former head of the JVA Werl, Klaus Koepsel: "If Heckhoff feels himself attacked and has a gun, he will probably make use of this weapon."
At the onset, he and Michalski did go out of the weapons locker two sharp weapons. Two HKP7 with eight rounds, as they also used the police.
This is also a warning to the population. The Aachen police chief Klaus Oelze: "Those are two highly dangerous men - violent, violent and armed." This demonstrates the fact that it took a woman hostage. They should have forced the woman to drive her to eat. Were in the car both moved and shaved.

mela luka green power juicer

Dusseldorf - Deep night in Dusseldorf, hardly see a car. And yet traffic lights switch to "red" stop the few drivers who are on the go, for no apparent reason.
That there is another way, shows the neighboring city of Duisburg, which is "ampelfrei for two months at night."
On 1 August had allocated Duisburg switch: 420 lights were turned off at night. For pedestrian traffic lights "night" of 20 clock until 6, for traffic lights at intersections of 23 until 5 clock.
On the one hand the city wants to save money, 68,000 euros per year, predicts the accountants at City Hall. On the other OB Adolf Sauerland also sees a positive aspect for the environment: "Cars are no longer several minutes with the engine running at red lights, even though no cross traffic coming."
For Andrea Blome, head of the Düsseldorf Office of Traffic Management, is nonsense: "Studies have shown that the economic loss is higher due to increased accidents than the saved energy costs. Of our 600 traffic lights in the city are switched off 90 from 23.45 until 4.45 clock. We have found the optimal solution. "
Optimal? Many traffic lights throughout the night forcing motorists by red light in empty streets to a halt. Without going long on the search, the Express has found three examples.
On the Friedrichstrasse, at the intersection of Light Street / road corridors and at the intersection of Bender Road / On the road every night Hardt, without need to be thwarted. " A permanent nuisance! Way: An increase in accidents was not detected in Duisburg.

Traditional cycling race in the greatest crisis

Cologne - The Tour de France - one of the biggest sporting events in the world. 3559 kilometers through France over the high mountains of the Pyrenees and the Alps. The tour provides for over 100 years of heroes who suffer, cheer heroes, and heroes to overthrow.
But before the start on Saturday in Brest, it is in the greatest crisis in its history. For it is hardly talked about the sport - but again only on doping.
In Germany, the interest in the numerous scandals of recent years is simply not there anymore, although 16 German cyclists are four teams at the start. Tour de Trance! Only sadness. Went to Jan Ullrich's weddings or with up to 120 journalists writing from Germany, it will be this year, less than 20
Gerolsteiner team boss Hans-Michael Holczer: "In Germany, the fans are offended that they were deceived for years. Now is cycling in a corner from which he comes out so fast anymore. "
Holczer gets the currently most apparent, for in the search for a new sponsor (Gerolsteiner rises out of the season), he will not be easy looking for. While Holczer has negotiated with several interested parties, but by far not want seven to nine million euros a year to invest in a cycling team.
The prices are in the basement. It is very likely that shuts Holczer the shop after the season. After the T-Mobile's withdrawal would be the second German team flat - the German cycling disappears from the scene. And our top drivers have to orient themselves to foreign countries.
There, the anti-doping fight is in contrast to Germany, where the doping hunters act rightly very meticulous, just annoying byproducts. While the cyclists are controlled since 2008 as well as any other athlete, but serious gaps still exist.
The World Federation UCI points to a new blood passport, which every driver has. But in order to explore possible manipulations may have to be at least 25 blood tests a year are performed. For Italians or Spaniards, there are just six.
Who wants to ride for overall victory may further manipulated. And among the top favorites for the Tour victory of 2008 old acquaintances: the Spaniard Alejandro Valverde include (Caisse d'Epargne) was with Jan Ullrich and Ivan Basso on the doping list by Dr. Eufemiano Fuentes, but may continue cheerfully. And Cadel Evans is in accordance with the previous doping from his racing stables Telekom and Mapei now at Silence Lotto gas.
No wonder that the fans goes the joke, because after the finish in Paris is just waiting for when the winner of doping is transferred. And now the tour has once again a hero. A crashed that one wants to see any more.
