本港周二(15/9)將受風暴威脅 今年多次準確預測襲港風暴移動路徑的天文台，預測昨於菲律賓呂宋以東形成的一個熱帶低氣壓，將增強為熱帶風暴，並直撲珠江口，後日（星期二）會在香港以南 100公里的近距離掠過，為港帶來狂風驟雨，天文台有機會掛八號風球。若預測路徑不變，這個熱帶風暴對港產生的影響，將超過上周中同樣在本港以南掠過的熱帶風暴「彩虹」。
位於呂宋以東的一個低壓區，在昨日午後增強為熱帶低氣壓。天文台表示，在昨晚 8時，它位於菲律賓馬尼拉東北約 440公里，以時速 20公里，向西北移向呂宋海峽，今日將進入南海，並不會在呂宋登陸。
天文台昨晚指出，該熱帶低氣壓將於 24小時內增強為熱帶風暴，最高持續風力達時速 65公里，風速會再增強。天文台預測它進入南海後，會先向西移向東沙群島，之後在明日下午轉向西北移動，撲向珠江口，於周二在本港至珠海一帶登陸。
明日天氣明顯惡化 由於香港東面沒有高山作為天然屏障，天文台科學主任李細明昨表示，當有熱帶氣旋在本港南至西面掠過，港內吹東風，所受風力會比有熱帶氣旋在東面掠過時強勁。他說，這個熱帶氣旋按命名次序，可能以香港提供的名字「彩雲」命名。
該熱帶氣旋若循天文台預測路徑移動，周二會在本港南面約 100公里掠過，屆時天文台可能發出較高風球。上周中熱帶風暴彩虹在本港以南約 300公里掠過，天文台最高曾發出三號風球。
今日大致天晴，但局部地區有驟雨，稍後將有幾陣雷暴，氣溫介乎攝氏 27至 33度，吹和緩東風。明日天氣明顯惡化，多雲和有狂風驟雨；後日風勢將加強，至周四才會好轉。 港大擬在深圳建校區
日本政壇變天
77％民眾感不安
日本《讀賣新聞》與早稻田大學所做的民調顯示， 72%的日本民眾對即將上台的民主黨執政有所期待，但感到不安的人也高達 77%。
民調於 8月 30日眾議院大選結束後的 5、 6天內實施，結果顯示民眾對民主黨執政有所期待的人達 72%，比起上一次民調、於眾議院大選前的 6月 27、 28日調查結果的 52%高出許多，是至今對民主黨期待指數最高的一次。
不過，對於今後民主黨的走向感到不安的人亦高達 77%，與眾議院大選前上回民調的 76%幾乎相同。這顯示選民對於民主黨執政是又期待又感不安。 09月13日 Sun 16:11:15

McLaren Crashes the Supercar Party New road-approved MP4-12C from the British F1 racing powerhouse
Report: Semenya has male, female sex organs
SYDNEY (AP) - The IAAF declined to confirm a Sydney Morning Herald report that world 800-meter champion Caster Semenya has male and female sex organs.
"I simply haven't seen the results," Davies wrote in an e-mail to The Associated Press. "We have received the results from Germany, but they now need to be examined by a group of experts and we will not be in a position to speak to the athlete about them for at least a few weeks.
"After that, depending on the results, we will meet privately with the athlete to discuss further action."
The Australian newspaper reported in its Friday edition that medical reports on the 18-year-old Semenya indicate she has no ovaries, but rather has internal male testes, which are producing large amounts of testosterone.
Davies said the report should be treated with caution.
After dominating her race at the world championships in Berlin last month, Semenya was given blood and chromosome tests, as well as a gynecological examination.
The IAAF has said Semenya probably would keep her medal because the case was not related to a doping matter.
"Our legal advice is that, if she proves to have an advantage because of the male hormones, then it will be extremely difficult to strip the medal off her, since she has not cheated," Davies wrote to the AP. "She was naturally made that way, and she was entered in Berlin by her team and accepted by the IAAF. But let's wait and see once we have the final decision."
The South African Press Association reported Athletics South Africa president Leonard Chuene had not been informed of any reports by the IAAF.
"These are insulting words that the media are using, but we are in the dark," SAPA quoted Chuene as telling The Star newspaper. "We just don't know what effect this information will have on her deep down. This process is not correct."
【蘋果報訊】結婚數年一直未有所出的已婚婦，立下壞心腸，處心積慮近一年進行生劏孕婦奪嬰計劃。她假扮懷胎十月後，在即將「臨盆」前夕竟到互聯網搜尋「如何在屍體中取嬰」、「令人昏迷」及「如何替嬰孩取出世紙」等資料，擬訂好行兇計劃後，再到親子網站以贈送嬰兒用品作餌，成功引來孕婦上門。受害孕婦遭電線勒頸及劏肚，肚內 BB出生後因腦部受創，搶救半年終因併發症不治。狠婦昨在高等法院承認誤殺及蓄意嚴重傷人罪。記者：陳曉薇、楊家樂
身形略胖、蓄馬尾的 27歲被告梁倩婷，樣子平易近人。梁昨在等候開庭時，突然飲泣近 15分鐘，身體不斷抽搐。反之，在聽到女事主及男嬰的慘痛遭遇時，梁卻表現平靜。直至散庭前，梁才透過大狀，鄭重向事主、其家人及自己家人致歉。
梁暫還柙，等候領取心理及精神報告始判刑，法官並要求專家評估被告對社會造成的危險。案件現押後至下月 27日判刑。
送嬰兒床作餌騙人上門 這宗駭人聽聞的劏肚案發生於去年 9月。當時懷第一胎的 26歲女事主，預產期為去年 10月 19日；她在親子王國網站討論區看到網名為「 Minnie Tong Tong」的梁，梁聲稱可贈送嬰兒床及奶樽等。她於是與梁聯絡，交換聯絡方法後，梁於 9月 16日約事主到粉嶺交收貨物。兩人抵達梁與丈夫租住的粉嶺花都廣場單位後，閒談起來。事主提及自己懷有男嬰，快要分娩，梁也稱兩天後就要生產。
事主選取兩袋嬰兒用品後欲離單位，梁即手按腰腹，面容扭曲，口中不停發出「絲絲」聲，狀甚痛苦。事主好心在旁陪伴，勸梁叫救傷車及通知家人。當事主擁抱梁安慰時，梁突以手提按摩機的電線勒住事主頸項。事主頸部受壓，高呼「你就嚟勒死我啦」，她用腳踢及用口咬梁，梁仍不放手，並將她勒昏。
據梁招認指，她在事主昏倒後，就將她拉入廚房，自己戴上手套，手執長 18.5厘米的生果刀，由事主肚臍位下刀，劏開其肚子。但梁下刀後突然害怕起來，並無繼續剖腹取嬰。梁在丈夫回家前，將事主拉入廚房爐底廚櫃。梁的丈夫回家發現事主倒卧廚房，報警求助。據警方指，事主刀傷深至露出胎盤。事主被送院後須進行急救剖腹，並無生命危險，但男嬰半年後因併發症死亡。
上網學「在屍體中取嬰」 梁被捕後先推說事主癲癇症病發，意外自傷腹部後暈倒。梁後來又稱因案發前數周曾流產，見事主不斷摸肚，滿臉幸福，自己感懷身世，不忿對方「晒命」，一時衝動，想見肚中嬰孩樣子，甚至一度閃出邪念，想將男嬰據為己有。這個解釋原本看來很圓滿，誰料警方卻有驚人發現。
警方在梁的電腦發現，梁於去年 9月初開始，在互聯網不斷利用搜尋器，鍵入「如何在屍體中取嬰」、「令人昏迷」、「在新界邊度可買到哥羅芳」及「如何替嬰孩取出世紙」等字眼進行搜尋。據案件主管劉少南稱，他們從未在一宗罪行中，找到這樣強力的證據，證明被告的犯罪動機。警方從而推定，梁是為了奪取事主肚中男嬰而行兇的。
狠婦丈夫誤以為妻懷孕 據警方透露，梁與年長兩、三年的丈夫在網上邂逅，火速戀上；拍拖不到兩個月就結婚，至案發時已婚三至四年，兩人表現恩愛，渴望生兒育女。與梁朝夕共對的丈夫向警表示，曾在案發前摸過梁的肚子，確曾感覺腹中物活動。而梁也曾向警聲稱，自己兩度流產。
警方調查並指，梁在案發前一個月，在親子王國網頁的討論區，接觸至少五名孕婦，並約見當中三人，包括事主。警方相信，兩名沒有被約見的孕婦是因懷有女嬰或並非臨盆在即，故不符合梁的要求而被「踢出局」；另外兩名曾赴約的孕婦，則因有丈夫或親友陪同而避過一劫。劉少南昨呼籲，孕婦在進行網上交易時，如對對方身份有懷疑，應加倍小心。案件編號： HCCC80/09 可憐男嬰 未曾吃過一口奶 劏肚奪嬰案的受害媽媽僥倖生還，但無辜男嬰苦苦掙扎半年，終在今年 3月死亡，結束短暫生命。據醫生診斷，受害男嬰曾腦缺氧，就算活着，也只會是植物人。
去年 9月 16日，受害孕婦受襲送院，緊急剖腹取出男嬰。當時男嬰僅 35周大，重 2.3公斤；出生時肌肉乏力，呼吸困難，皮膚呈藍色，須插鼻喉，膚色才稍為好轉。由於男嬰曾缺氧及血壓低，腦功能受損，連咳痰及吞嚥等本能反應也沒有。
腦萎縮 肌肉發展遲緩 其後男嬰曾離開深切治療部轉往育嬰室，但病情反覆，不時要往返兩處。他更一度沒有心跳，又因腦萎縮，故肌肉發展遲緩，身體活動受限制，並常常痙攣。
男嬰情況日差，至今年 3月 16日，他感染肺炎，並發高燒及呼吸困難，經多番搶救，至 17日終於不治。半年來，父母已有心理準備，當男嬰彌留之際，父親決定忍痛拔喉。可憐男嬰直至離世，也未曾吃過一口奶。 毛巾纏腰扮大肚騙過醫生 成功取醫生紙申請產假 任船務女文員的本案被告，居然能以毛巾纏肚，便能瞞天過海，騙過老公、公司、甚至醫生，可算是粵語片「玉女添丁」的現實版。但這齣戲卻無喜劇收場，扮大肚的被告現正身陷囹圄。據警方指，被告扮得似模似樣，除以毛巾纏腰裝大肚外，她還買齊所有嬰兒用品佈置家居，甚至想出計謀，騙醫生替她寫報告證實有孕，成功向公司申請產假。
據案情指，被告於 08年 1月便向公司及同事公佈自己有喜，其後還稱一索得男，與同懷孕的女同事，不時交換超聲波圖片看，又分享懷孕的經驗。但想不到，原來她借超聲波圖片是別有用心。她將圖片暗中儲存在記憶棒後，再冲印成相片，便給丈夫觀看，令他深信她有孕。
被捕後稱案發前流產 至去年 6月，「懷胎」六月的她，順理成章向公司申請產假。當公司要她提出證明的時候，她居然能從診所在葵涌的西醫王志剛手上，取到懷孕證明，還能推斷她的預產期為去年 9月 13日。公司最終批准她放「前二後八」的產假。至「懷孕」後期，被告便將毛巾以托腹帶纏在腰間扮大肚。
據警方指，她被捕後法醫證實她無懷孕。她最初訛稱案發前數周曾流產，最終她亦招認非因流產犯案。但在其家，警方卻能搜出嬰兒床、奶樽及嬰兒衫等全套用品。
究竟被告如何瞞過醫生？婦產科專家靳嘉仁醫生指，如孕婦攜同驗孕棒到診所，普通科醫生可能會按結果，替孕婦寫轉介書，而這份文件已足夠向公司證實懷孕。而由無變有，並非絕無可能！據靳醫生說，如女仕患尿道炎、小便有血、曾服荷爾蒙補充劑、剛流產或生產後數周等，以驗孕棒測試，結果可能也呈假陽性，騙到醫生。 假孕症無懷胎也腹脹 生劏孕婦的被告自稱有喜，逼真程度連同事甚至丈夫也被騙倒，原來並非無因。中文大學精神科學系教授李誠昨表示，類似情況應屬「假孕症」，是罕有的精神心理疾病。患者以為自己真的懷孕，身體亦會出現孕婦常見的症狀，甚至感到胎兒在腹中郁動。外國病例更顯示曾有男性患者，腹部大得像十月懷胎。
出現停經及懷孕症狀 假孕症，又稱假性懷孕（ Pseudocyesis）。李誠指，外國研究顯示每 2.2萬宗出生個案，才會有 1至 6宗假孕症，情況罕見，而本港病例更是聞所未聞。患者並無懷孕，卻會有停經或作嘔作悶等孕婦常見症狀，更甚者會有人在沒症狀時，仍堅信自己有孕，並因食量增加、吞入空氣、腸臟淤塞或受荷爾蒙影響，導致腹大便便，感到胎兒郁動及陣痛，騙過身邊人甚至患者本身。
李誠續指，年約 30歲、不育、以及渴望懷孕卻不幸流產的女性，均屬高危人士，惟外國亦有男性患者病例。近年大部份患者可透過超聲波檢查，盡早確定體內有否胎盤或胎兒心跳。
不過亦有患者發現「生唔到」後，深信自己流產；若加上妄想症等問題，或會產生強烈羨慕甚至嫉妒情緒，導致做出偷嬰的行為。
美國亦發生過多宗類似慘案，專家指犯案者多數想藉此挽救與伴侶的感情，被稱為「剖腹綁架嬰兒現象」。今年 7月，麻省一名男子的女友，攜同聲稱是二人的親生骨肉團聚，後來揭發她涉嫌殺死好友，劏肚搶嬰。 04年， 36歲女子在密蘇里州殺死 23歲孕婦，剖腹取出八個月大胎兒，女嬰活下來，犯案女子被判死刑。 09月11日 Fri 14:41:51

心電圖檢查前更衣昏迷
心臟病漢猝死化驗所
一名男子懷疑患有心臟病，由醫生轉介到觀塘一間化驗所進行心電圖檢查，但事主昨在洗手間更衣準備檢查期間，突然昏迷倒地，家人發現報警將他送院搶救已告不治。警方不排除事主心臟病發猝死，確實死因則有待剖屍檢驗，始能確定。
在化驗所猝死的男子 57歲姓楊，現場觀塘康寧道 17號裕民大廈一間化驗所；據稱，楊最近感覺心臟不適，他前往看私家醫生後，經醫生診斷懷疑他心臟有問題，並寫了一封轉介信，介紹他到上址的化驗所作心電圖檢查。
另一心臟病患死在豪宅 昨上午 11時，事主由 50歲姓顏妻子及 20餘歲兒子陪同下，前往該化驗所檢驗，他先在化驗所的洗手間更衣，但妻子良久未見他出來，覺可疑偕子往察看，赫見丈夫昏迷地上，她立即致電報警。救護員接報到場事主已沒有呼吸脈搏，經急救送院證實死亡。警方認為無可疑，並安排驗屍確定死因。
此外，一名患心臟病 76歲印度漢，昨亦在西環寓所猝死。事主 Sukheswalla，居摩星嶺道翠海𡋾墅一豪宅。據悉，事主為一間管理服務公司董事，本身患有心臟病。昨晨 9時許，事主被女傭發現昏迷睡房床上。救護員到場證實老翁已當場死亡，身體更出現屍斑，警方懷疑事主心臟病發。
有醫生指出，心臟病是本港第二號殺手，其中約七成是冠心病，患病人數約 20萬。心電圖是檢查心臟重要一環，原理是透過心臟收縮及擴張運動產生的弱電流，經安置在身體的電極轉移到電流計，再以波紋記錄在紙上即為心電圖；如果心電圖出現異常，醫生可判斷病人患上那種心臟病。另心臟超聲波、電腦掃描及磁力共振掃描，更能徹底找出心臟毛病。 09月10日 Thu 11:09:39
‘9’: It’s more than a movie, it’s a magic number
Many are celebrating the upcoming calendrical anomaly in different ways
By Heather Whipps
updated 1:31 p.m. ET Sept. 8, 2009
Have special plans this 09/09/09?
Everyone from brides and grooms to movie studio execs are celebrating the upcoming calendrical anomaly in their own way.
In Florida, at least one county clerk's office is offering a one-day wedding special for $99.99. The rarity of this Sept. 9 hasn't been lost on the creators of the iPod, who have moved their traditional Tuesday release day to Wednesday to take advantage of the special date. Focus Features is releasing their new film "9" , an animated tale about the apocalypse , on the 9th.
Not only does the date look good in marketing promotions, but it also represents the last set of repeating, single-digit dates that we'll see for almost a century (until January 1, 2101), or a millennium (mark your calendars for January 1, 3001), depending on how you want to count it.
Though technically there's nothing special about the symmetrical date, some concerned with the history and meaning of numbers ascribe powerful significance to 09/09/09.
For cultures in which the number nine is lucky, Sept. 9 is anticipated – while others might see the date as an ominous warning.
Math magic Modern numerologists — who operate outside the realm of real science — believe that mystical significance or vibrations can be assigned to each numeral one through nine, and different combinations of the digits produce tangible results in life depending on their application.
As the final numeral, the number nine holds special rank. It is associated with forgiveness, compassion and success on the positive side as well as arrogance and self-righteousness on the negative, according to numerologists.
Though usually discredited as bogus , numerologists do have a famous predecessor to look to. Pythagoras, the Greek mathematician and father of the famous theorem, is also credited with popularizing numerology in ancient times.
"Pythagoras most of all seems to have honored and advanced the study concerned with numbers, having taken it away from the use of merchants and likening all things to numbers," wrote Aristoxenus, an ancient Greek historian, in the 4th century B.C.
As part of his obsession with numbers both mathematically and divine, and like many mathematicians before and since, Pythagoras noted that nine in particular had many unique properties.
Any grade-schooler could tell you, for example, that the sum of the two-digits resulting from nine multiplied by any other single-digit number will equal nine. So 9x3=27, and 2+7=9.
Multiply nine by any two, three or four-digit number and the sums of those will also break down to nine. For example: 9x62 = 558; 5+5+8=18; 1+8=9.
Sept. 9 also happens to be the 252nd day of the year (2 + 5 +2) ...
Loving 9 Both China and Japan have strong feelings about the number nine. Those feelings just happen to be on opposite ends of the spectrum.
The Chinese pulled out all the stops to celebrate their lucky number eight during last year's Summer Olympics, ringing the games in at 8 p.m. on 08/08/08 . What many might not realize is that nine comes in second on their list of auspicious digits and is associated with long life, due to how similar its pronunciation is to the local word for long-lasting (eight sounds like wealth).
Historically, ancient Chinese emperors associated themselves closely with the number nine, which appeared prominently in architecture and royal dress, often in the form of nine fearsome dragons. The imperial dynasties were so convinced of the power of the number nine that the palace complex at Beijing's Forbidden City is rumored to have been built with 9,999 rooms.

How to Change Careers Smoothly?
Confused About Changing Careers? By Selena Dehne, JIST Publishing
Rarely is the decision to change careers made without some anxiety and doubt to accompany it. It's such a life-altering decision that even those who are bursting with excitement to launch a new career sometimes feel overwhelmed by the obstacles and "what ifs" along the way.
"Changing careers can feel like you're standing in the vortex of a tornado. You're watching thousands of things swirl by, you can't see anything very clearly, and you're very hesitant to take a step in any particular direction. Too often, this uncertainty is all it takes to keep someone chained to a career that makes him or her miserable," says Katy Piotrowski, author of "The Career Coward's Guide to Changing Careers."
Piotrowski has observed hundreds of career changers and says that it's natural to run into roadblocks. "Remember, your goal is to find a career that offers what you want and need. It may take awhile to discover the right solution for you, and you may have to change your course a few times, but that's OK. If you persist in your pursuit for the right fit, new, more realistic options will soon become apparent."
Below are three common career-change roadblocks and Piotrowski's tips for approaching them:
Will changing careers significantly lower your earnings? Before scrapping your interest in a particular career because of its lower income, Piotrowski suggests you do the following:
Do some research to find out how professionals in that field make it work for them. Do they have multiple jobs? Expand their work areas to generate more income? "For example, my neighbor is a potter. In addition to making and selling beautiful wares, he teaches pottery-making lessons," says Piotrowski.
Assess what the likelihood may be that you could eventually earn enough income within a reasonable amount of time.
Consider cutting your expenses and banking the money saved before making the career change to see if you can survive on that level of pay.
Keep in mind that the skills you've earned in former careers will help you progress faster than someone with less experience and may allow you to earn better pay more quickly than the average worker in your new career field.
Don't have the right education or training? "A lack of a certification or degree can be a maddening roadblock for career changers. Rather than throw away an excellent career possibility, consider these avenues to work around or through such barriers," Piotrowski says.
Begin at the bottom. Beginning in an entry-level position makes it easier to get started in your chosen field. Once you're in, you will be more likely to discover avenues to obtain the training you need, and may even be able to have your employer pay for it.
Aim for a position that requires less training. "For example, if you want to be a physical therapist, but don't want to complete several years of college to get your degree, you could become a physical therapy technician instead. Frequently, technicians can be trained on the job or with just a year or two of formal instruction."
Torn between two or more careers? When it comes to choosing between multiple career passions, there's no rule that says people must pick one or the other. Below are Piotrowski's suggestions for juggling multiple career-change opportunities:
Create a "muffin tin" career. "Typically, when you think of having a career, you imagine it to be a single profession that you immerse yourself in and develop over time. Another possibility is to select more than one career and to execute them simultaneously. So, instead of developing a single 'loaf' of a career, you might create several 'muffins,'" Piotrowski explains.
Become a serial careerist. If the "muffin tin" approach is too scattered for your tastes, consider committing to one career for a few years, then pursuing another, and perhaps another. There's no rule that says you have to stick with one specialty your entire life.

Where Are They Now?
Checking in with Emmys' big winners By Kati Johnston Special to MSN Entertainment
The energy surrounding "The 61st Primetime Emmy Awards" is palpable, and due in no small part to how creative TV of every stripe has become. We've spent the summer tipsy on our Sally Draper-made highballs toasting "Mad Men," feasting on the hunter soufflé of "True Blood" and catching up on missed episodes of "30 Rock" -- preparing to root for our favorites on Emmy night.
But winning an Emmy (or several), or being part of a majorly honored show, doesn't always translate into a lifetime career for a talented actor. Some big Emmy winners have moved into other fields; some have cool-sounding new shows coming up; others have faded from view. Here's a look at some past Emmy honorees, and what they're putting those considerable talents to now.
"The 61st Primetime Emmy Awards" airs Sunday, Sept. 20, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.

體壇傳真：三思
香港車手歐陽若曦（圖）昨出席道路安全議會活動，被委任為「3C好司機」，推廣酒後駕駛危險訊息；「3C」為英文字 care、 concern及 commitment，與「三思」同音。 照片由公關提供 欺詐及盜竊罪不予起訴 林隨後約郭見面，要求郭將已付診金改為予港大的捐款，林又自掏腰包，借郭的名義捐款給港大，兩方最後簽署文件同意以上安排。廉署調查再發現，被告曾要求三名病人及家屬，將合共 380萬元捐款存進 GR銀行戶口。林從沒有向港大申報與 GR關係及利益。林獲控方接納承認一項控罪，餘下的 33項包括欺詐及盜竊罪則不予起訴。

What's your memory of war declaration? Fisichella makes Ferrari switch Giancarlo Fisichella will drive for Ferrari for the rest of the season before becoming reserve driver in 2010 after being released by Force India.
Giancarlo Fisichella will drive for Ferrari for the rest of the 2009 Formula 1 season before taking a new role as their reserve driver in 2010. The Italian, 36, will replace Luca Badoer as stand-in for the injured Felipe Massa for the final five races.
"It has always been an ambition," said Fisichella, who has been released from his contract with Force India.
Force India are yet to name a replacement for Fisichella with reserve driver Vitantonio Liuzzi the favourite.
Fisichella, who formerly raced for Minardi, Jordan, Benetton, Renault and Sauber, will begin his Ferrari career on home soil at the Italian Grand Prix on 13 September.
Ferrari team boss Stefano Domenicali confirmed the appointment saying: "We considered what could be his role inside the team in the near future, also taking this year's experiences into account. He will be the reserve driver in 2010.
"We have chosen Fisichella because we can expect him to make a valuable contribution in this final part of the season.
"He has shown, throughout his long career, that he is fast and competitive and we are therefore proud to be able to run an Italian driver in our home race."
Force India team principal Mallya had insisted on Tuesday that he would turn out his regular team for Monza.
But after extensive discussions with Ferrari, Mallya has agreed to release Fisichella from his contract, which was due to expire at the end of the season.
"For any Italian driver, a Ferrari race seat is a long-held dream and for Giancarlo it was no exception," Mallya said. "No-one should stand in the way of this.
"The agreement will secure Fisichella's long-term future with Ferrari and it would be incorrect to jeopardise this.
"We would like to stress that we have not agreed any financial settlement with Ferrari and would like to thank Giancarlo for all his help over the past one-and-a-half seasons and for our first world championship points."
Fisichella's parting gift to Force India was second place at the Belgium Grand Prix, handing the team their first podium and points in their second season in F1.
Even before his impressive performance at Spa-Francorchamps, the 36-year-old had been tipped to replace Badoer, who has struggled since his promotion from Ferrari reserve driver.
Badoer was drafted in to replace Massa, who suffered serious head injuries at the Hungarian Grand Prix, after legendary seven-time F1 champion Michael Schumacher was forced to shelve his comeback plans.
[I hope I have helped Force India grow up and be on the right path to achieve their own ambitions] ~ Giancarlo Fisichella
While Massa is targeting a return in 2010, the Italian team ran out of patience with Badoer, who qualified last at both the European and Belgian GPs.
While Kimi Raikkonen claimed Ferrari's first win of 2009 in Spa, his team-mate trailed in last, nearly 48 seconds slower than the driver in front.
"We wish to thank Luca Badoer for the team spirit he demonstrated in these circumstances," added Domenicali.
"It is a shame he was unable to show his true worth in these last two races, tackled under conditions which anyone would have found difficult."
Fisichella, a veteran of more than 200 grands prix, will be expected to be much more competitive as Ferrari prepare to race in front of their enthusiastic home fans in Monza.
"I am grateful to Vijay Mallya for allowing me this opportunity," said Fisichella, a three-time race winner.
"For Vijay to have allowed it to become a reality is very generous and I hope in my turn I have helped Force India grow up and be on the right path to achieve their own ambitions." 09月04日 Fri 13:35:08
以為今日早咗半個鐘出門 就可以早番四、五個字去到葵涌
點不知可能落西鐵時被個無啦啦中埋入lift嘅人阻住人同誤導
結果就因為恁走咗班34,重連影到見唔到 ~ 等足三個字都先有車
架車重要埋站離開成兩呎 ~ 要人'拮'過去 .....
上咗車 過咗戴麟趾診所之後 又再有一棚人上車
但明明重有位坐,但個阿婆係要坐人隔離 重要迫埋嚟
對腳都冇位伸 ~ 搞到對腳幾鬼痛
又廢事嘈 所以冇出聲 ~ 不過真係好痛 ......
結果雖然早咗半個鐘出門口 但就只早得嗰十五分鐘到人哋門口
不過終於再次見到黃太
估唔到佢會畀番人哋送畀佢個仔嗰幾本書嘅錢
不過時薪就冇加 .......
走時黃太留低人哋傾幾句 差啲以為會走班車 (原來佢要講嘅係想睇重啲佢個仔嘅英文 不過佢個仔成日都係補Maths ......)
今日佢哋教人哋走時早一個站上車 ~ 等咗一個字到就有車 (上次等成三、四個字)
之後喺平時上車嗰個站就見到有一家人上車 ~ 個細路啲好似技安恁嘅歌聲真係嚇人
好彩冇耐佢就上咗上層 ~ 三兩個字之後就落車
估唔到那家人係同一個站落車
都係搭西鐵
那位爸爸本來站在落車的車門
但就讓小弟落車先
但冇幾耐 佢個仔就一支箭恁中入西鐵站
佢阿媽就係恁喝住佢 話跌親就會跛
(可怒也) 擰轉面同個做人阿媽嘅講 我唔係跌親所以跛嘅 *不過佢聽唔到
[不過就算係跌親 都可以係被人碰,被人撞 ...... 撞車都可以跛的:又可以係自己撞人,又可以係被車撞 *今朝先有個阿伯被車撞死咗 另外重有個女人被撞至昏迷
病都可以跛的 ...... ]
唔係佢聽唔到 或者唔係因為入閘後 佢哋一家去咗往紅磡嗰邊月台
真係會慢慢同佢講點解會跛咗 ........
