This is an interesting and somewhat disturbing story:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8463657.stm
"A Spanish politician has said he was shocked to find out the FBI had used his photo for a digitally-altered image showing how Osama Bin Laden might look.
Gaspar Llamazares said he would no longer feel safe travelling to the US after his hair and parts of his face appeared on a most-wanted poster. "
Honestly, how could they use an image of a Spanish politician? Was there no one else on earth that looks like the most wanted person in the world?
If Gaspar Llamazares approaches the issue in an "American way" he will probably sue ;-)

GP2 test for Michael Schumacher
Schumi will be in Spain for 3 days testing a GP2 car. Looks like the 7 time world champ needs a bit of time on the track before jumping in an F1 Mercedes.
He has been acknowledged as a driver with great technical understanding who can help develop a car and make it faster.
Valencia will actually be the stage where Schumacher will drieve an F1 Car for the fist time
"I have to say I am very impressed about the high level you see there," Schumacher told his official website.
"The people seem to be highly motivated as well, and I find that encouraging as it perfectly fits my personal mood."#
Schumacher test drove an older model Ferrari car last summer as he attempted to replace the injured Felipe Massa temporarily, but eventually had to abandon the return because of neck injuries sustained in a motorcycle crash earlier in 2009.

Froze Britain
If you haven't already seen this, do it now - http://ping.fm/NqlgO
Absolutely amazing, isn't it?
It is so beautiful and disturbing at the same time. I'm sitting here in my study, watching the beautiful postcard view as if from the Alps and for a moment I forget am really in England.
What is surprising is that snow always comes as a big shock in this country. The roads, trains, plans... all unusable. When are we going to learn that we need to prepare for those things.
I'm kind of hoping that I'll be able to go to work on Monday, but this snow really is just like an extended holiday for me so I don't mind.
The kids seem happy enough and I can't find enough dry and warm clothes for them to go out and play in the snow.
I remember a few big winters when I was a kid but that was so long ago that I thought my kids will never experience it, with the talk of global warming and all that.
Why don't TV producers realize that a lot of people are stuck at home now and they need to change their programs. I'm fed up of watching "stay at home moms TV" all day long.
Wouldn't it be nice if there was more live coverage of winter sports in the UK now? Oh well, may be next year.
