    anrhrfitrrManchester — A City ol Village Charm Hrralft Saturday. Aug. 29.1987 LOYALISTS CRUSH COUP Philippine rebels eppeared to have little support MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Loyal troops backed by helicopter gunships and low-level bombing seized strongholds of mutineers Friday to crush the bloodiest coup attempt yet against President Corazon Aquino. Her only son was wounded. On Saturday morning, 500 rebel troops surrendered at Camp Aguinaldo, the military headquarters that was the scene of the heaviest fighting, themilitary said. On Friday night, it said other 402 rebels had been captured. Gen. Fidel V. Ramos, the military chief of staff, had told his subordinates Friday morning that only about 800 troops had taken part in the mutiny. It was not known how many still might be holding out. Ramos had said "mopping up operations” were under way aiid he expected full order to be restored in Manila by Saturday. ' The uprising centered in Manila but the commander of paramilitary national police in Cebu City, 350 miles southeast, backed the rebels, putting the mayor and provincial governor under house arrest. Military and hospital sources said at least 25 people had been killed and 275 wounded, including Benigno Aquino III. Mrs. Aquino, 54. said her 27:year-oId son was seriously hurt and three companions were killed when gunfire riddled their car near the presidential palace early Friday. The mutiny began at 1 a.m. Friday with attacks on the Malacanang presidential palace compound and other targets. The rebels did not appear to have widespread, popular support. When one group was chased away from the tall transmitter tower of government-run Channel 4 television station, hundreds of people poured into the streets, cheering the loyal defenders and shouting, “Cory! Cory! “ the nickname of the popular president.

  • Thomas Heatherwick, Architecture's Showman
    Thomas Heatherwick, Architecture’s Showman His giant new structure aims to be an Eiffel Tower for New York. Is it genius or folly? February 26, 2018 | By IAN PARKER Stephen Ross, the seventy-seven-year-old billionaire property developer and the owner of the Miami Dolphins, has a winningly informal, old-school conversational style. On a recent morning in Manhattan, he spoke of the moment, several years ago, when he decided that the plaza of one of his projects, Hudson Yards—a Doha-like cluster of towers on Manhattan’s West Side—needed a magnificent object at its center. He recalled telling him- self, “It has to be big. It has to be monumental.” He went on, “Then I said, ‘O.K. Who are the great sculptors?’ ” (Ross pronounced the word “sculptures.”) Before long, he met with Thomas Heatherwick, the acclaimed British designer of ingenious, if sometimes unworkable, things. Ross told me that there was a presentation, and that he was very impressed by Heatherwick’s “what do you call it—Television? Internet?” An adviser softly said, “PowerPoint?” Ross was in a meeting room at the Time Warner Center, which his company, Related, built and partly owns, and where he lives and works. We had a view of Columbus Circle and Central Park. The room was filled with models of Hudson Yards, which is a mile and a half southwest, between Thirtieth and Thirty-third Streets, and between Tenth Avenue and the West Side Highway. There, Related and its partner, Oxford Properties Group, are partway through erecting the complex, which includes residential space, office space, and a mall—with such stores as Neiman Marcus, Cartier, and Urban Decay, and a Thomas Keller restaurant designed to evoke “Mad Men”—most of it on a platform built over active rail lines.

  • Changing How the World Thinks About Set Pieces
    Changing How The World Thinks About Set Pieces February 22, 2017 By Ted Knutson (@mixedknuts) The first project I officially worked on inside football didn’t involve statistics, but it did involve analysis. My task was to take all the video for teams we knew were unusually good at set pieces, analyse what they were doing, and build a guide of best practices. Needless to say, we had some success. What follows is a translation of two presentations I typically give to teams about this topic. I believe my work here remains fairly unique in the football world, and it has certainly benefited from working with top coaches like Gianni Vio and Brian Priske. I can also assure you that when it comes to set pieces, we are just barely scratching the surface of what is possible. The Why Of Set Pieces The traditional view of set pieces seems to go something like this. These two guys use set pieces to help their thuggish, under-technical teams avoid relegation. Take some big, strapping lads. Toss a bunch of them in the box. Throw it into the mixer, and voila! It’s a valid, proven strategy that they have executed time and again. But what if a talented team started to take set pieces seriously? Then a team lead by this guy could beat out these two guys to a league title, despite a huge gap in wages and transfer spending. Funnily enough, something like this happened in England as well. Sir Alex Ferguson clearly started paying more attention to Manchester United’s set piece execution his last two seasons in charge, to the point that their data looks more like Stoke then and less like historic Fergie.

  • Madrid Close In
    PREVIEW ISSUE FOUR – 24TH APRIL 2012 MADRID CLOSE IN REAL TAKE THE SPOILS IN THE EL CLASICO AND CLOSE IN ON THE SILVERWARE After a poor week for both sides in Europe, Real and Barca were desperate to grab a win against their biggest rivals on a dramatic, rain-lashed Saturday night at the Nou Camp. It was Real that grabbed the vital win and probably clinched the La Liga title. Los Merengues went ahead through German midfielders Sami Khedira and were comfortable for long periods, but Barca’s Chilean substitute Alexis Sánchez equalised with just 20 minutes remaining. Cristiano Ronaldo’s clinical strike just three minutes later settled the game with Madrid now seven points clear, with only four games remaining. Madrid coach José Mourinho named an very attacking team and his side began the better. Ronaldo’s early header from a corner brought a superb flying save from goalkeeper Víctor Valdés. His opposite number Iker Casillas was then quickly off his line when full-back Dani Alves dispossessed Sergio Ramos. The game was being played at a fearsome pace and French striker Karim Benzema brought the best out of Valdés again. Barca thought they had gone front when Alves had the ball in the net after a Cristian Tello run, but the youngster had been flagged offside.
