impact of his recent dominant run: “We did what we needed to do and it’s just
a pity that there is no one else who can stay with us because every race I
win, he’s been second”, he told the official motoGP website.

Australia in fourth with return to reigning the circuit after an ankle injury
which has sidelined him in the last three races.
“I’m little disappointed. To be honest at the start of the race
I felt I had the pace to stay with Dani and Jorge and the bike was pretty
good. Then as the race progressed my body started to suffer and ache in
ways I didn’t expect” he said.
Valentino Rossi who will rejoin Yamaha next season, finished
seventh on his Ducati

Sport fans attending the London Olympics were told on Sunday to
avoid non-urgent text messages and tweets during events because overloading
of data networks was affecting television coverage.
Commentators on
Saturday’s men”s cycling road race were unable to tell viewers how far the
leaders were ahead of the chasing pack because data could not get through
from the GPS satellite navigation system travelling with the cyclist.

particularly annoying for British viewers, who had turned in hoping to see a
medal for spirit king Mark Cavendish.
Many
inadvertently made matter worse by venting their anger on Twitter at the lack
information.
An
International Olympic Committee spokesman said the network problem had been
caused by the messages sent by the hundreds of thousands of fan who lined the
street to cheer on the British team.
“Of course, if
you want to sent something, we are not going to say ‘Don’t, you can’t do it’,
we could certainly never prevent people”, he said. It’s just-if it’s not an
urgent, urgent one, please kind of take it easy”.

Global warming is the measurable increase in the average
temperature of Earth atmosphere, oceans and landmasses. Scientists believe
that the Earth is currently facing a period of rapid warming brought by the
rising level of heat-trapping gasses, known as green houses gasses in the
atmosphere. Green houses gasses occurs naturally and without them, the planet

around, present day human beings should be better equipped with more

energy in the infrared part of the spectrum. Some gasses in the atmosphere
are called “green house gasses”. These gasses are like watervapour and
carbondioxide; transparent to visible light but absorb infrared light. When
the visible light from the sun hits the earth, it passes through atmosphere,
and warms the earth. The earth emits some of this energy back out into to the
space, keeping the planet cool. But the energy that the earth emits is in the
infrared and some of it is absorbed by the green house gasses in the
atmosphere instead of going back out into the space. When it happens, the
atmosphere gets warmer and the planet as a whole gets warmer too.
