Wait 90 minutes for the owner of a gold ring
&&来源：扬州晚报&&时间 00:00&&
　　Yesterday, a woman worker from Cheluozheng, Gaoyou City, picked up a gold ring worth about 2400RMB in the workshop when she was leaving. Though she was terribly hungry, she didn’t go back home fo
r lunch until the owner came back for the missing ring.
　　At 11:30 a.m. on the 20th, Wan Chunxiang, an ordinary worker from Yangzhou Bestpak Gifts & Crafts Co., Ltd Company, found a gold ring by chance at the side of a knitter. She decided to stay where she was just in order to wait for the owner of the ring. However, after about 90 minutes, the group leader came back for the ring which was dropped from her jacket pocket when she was working. In acknowledgement of Wan’s help, she was going to send Wan 100RMB. But Wan declined with thanks at last.

&&相关新闻Michael Ballack: 90 minutes of long-awaited, unthreatened triumph for German legend – ‘Ciao Capitano’
on June 9, 2013
Michael Ballack’s testimonial on Wednesday night proved to be a fitting end to a career littered with loose ends.
A proverbial buffet of former and current international stars, with a combined caps total of over 1,600, rolled out in Leipzig, East Germany, on what was a glo with 45,000 fans and well-wishers filling the impressive, Red Bull Arena to the brim.
A perennial nearly-man, or ‘unvollendeter’ (unfulfilled one), as he is sadly referred to in his home country, Michael Ballack came out trumps in his send-off match. The ‘Little Kaiser’ netted a hat trick, and received close to as much adoration and respect as his lovably oversized ego could manage.
The retiring German also sent his own message to the German people. After the terrible flooding in East Germany which has seen thousands of people evacuated after torrential rainfall, Ballack decided to donate a generous portion of the money taken from ticket sales to the charities involved in the rescue operation.
A magnanimous gesture, one that gave this wonderfully nostalgic night that little bit of extra meaning.
Ballack was a brilliant midfield a player with effortless, often intimidating swagger, a thunderous left foot, and an indomitable spirit which saw him captain the German national side for the best part of six years.
One of the very best penalty takers in recent memory, his sweetly struck free kicks were also lethal commodities. Brilliantly accomplished at attacking headers, his vision was also a key feature of his game.
He used these talents to great effect in a career that saw him reach the pinnacle of German club football, and ply his trade for Chelsea in a largely successful spell abroad. It was, however, a career peppered with disappointment.
A runner-up in two
finals, and two silver medals from the 2002 World Cup and the
saw Ballack earn his ‘loser tag’, and come to define an period of frustration for German football.
After having to contend with the might of the Brazilians in Korea and Japan 2002, Germany again came unstuck four years later against the defensive juggernaut that was Italy. Since then, their inarguable rise to prominence has been dramatically undermined by an incredible generation of Spanish talent.
Ballack typified this, collecting a staggering eleven major runners-up medals for club and country in just eight years.
But there was absolutely no chance of Ballack collecting another silver medal on Wednesday night. With twenty-one smiling faces joining him on the velvet pitch in East Germany, not so far from his home-town of Gorlitz, Ballack was given the freedom to roam.
Time stood still when h and defenders almost bowed to the retiring German Prince as he was allowed to waltz past them, in search of those special goals to round off the special night.
The star-studded, World XI triumphed 4-3 over ‘Ballack and Friends’, while Mr Ballack had a go at playing for both sides!
His ex-Chelsea teammates, Didier Drogba, Michael Essien, Florent Malouda and Ricardo Carvalho all made the trip to G while home talents included the now mythical, Lothar Matthaus, as well as Miroslav Klose, Chelsea-target Andre Schurrle, and Phillip Lahm. Even Formula One legend, Michael Schumacher, threw on a pair of boots for the occasion.
Lahm’s inclusion in the festivities seemed to prove that Ballack holds no ill-feeling to the man who took the national captaincy from him. Their war of words threatened to derail the German bandwagon in the
in South Africa, with Lahm refusing to hand the captaincy back to the then injured Michael Ballack,
Lahm declared, on the eve of the German’s semi-final against Italy:
“I enjoy the role a lot. So why should I give the position up voluntarily?”
This open challenge from the terrier-like Lahm belittled Ballack’s apparent influence, and was arguably the beginning of the end of the midfielder’s tenure in the national setup. A public falling out with German boss, Joachim Low, also did nothing to sooth matters.
But it seems both hatchets were quite rightly buried on Wednesday, with Lahm taking his place in the guard of honour at the end of the game, and Low watching on as a personally invited member of the crowd.
Despite these side plots, which also included the mysterious Schurrle – Chelsea connection, with Jose Mourinho reportedly taking the opportunity to finalize a deal while managing the World XI, this was a night of celebration for one of Germany’s favourite sons. Personal loose ends were sown up, and the feeling of victory was keenly felt by the man of the moment.
His was a defining name in the recent history of German football, and Ballack should be remembered for his domineering presence, his swashbuckling demeanour, and for the great adventures he embarked on, rather than his catalogue of ‘near misses’, and an ‘unfulfilled’ trophy cabinet.
Thank you, Michael Ballack, and farewell.Sunderland 0-0 Spurs – Oh, Sorry, I Dropped Off There for 90 Minutes. - Spurs Latest

Sunderland 0-0 Spurs – Oh, Sorry, I Dropped Off There for 90 Minutes.
Any Spurs fan could have been forgiven for spotting bad omens before the game kicked off yesterday. With Chris Foy officiating, and Spurs playing in purple (or ‘grape’, to use the club website’s terminology), against a team in red and white stripes, they weren’t exactly promising precursors. Few of us though, could’ve predicted a game so devoid of spectacle, so utterly, mind-numbingly tedious. Prior to the game, I was close to missing kick-off, eventually arrivi in retrospect, I could have saved myself the rush, and missed essentially nothing.
Bizarrely, despite the almost complete lack of incident to discuss – the handball from Adebayor’s headed attempt being essentially the only real occurrence in the 90 minutes – I’ve still manage to bring up a few points below. I did have to resort to a brief discussion of Manchester City’s disappointingly limp performance against Arsenal near the bottom, but overall, considering the lack of material to work with, it’s still far more interesting than the 90 minutes yesterday were. Though, judge for yourself…
Sunderland’s Approach
More disappointing, even than the result, was the approach of Sunderland. This was the same team who very nearly pulled off a shock victory against Manchester City last week (though admittedly after today this looks less impressive). You wouldn’t have thought the two were the same side – yesterday, their football was stolid, unambitious, and contemptibly negative. This approach would perhaps be understandable were they battling against relegation, but sitting comfortably in mid-table, I expected them to give us more of a game than we eventually got. As it was, they seemed content with a point from the outset, and inevitably this made them difficult to break down.
Spurs still haven’t quite got there on the breaking stubborn sides down front. It’s probably what holds us back from being a consistently top four team, and it’s something that needs looking at over the summer in terms of personnel. We have most of the players, but perhaps we’re still missing the spark of genius up front that our competitors do have. Adebayor’s work rate is commendable, but he’s never going to conjure up s Defoe is an excellent poacher, but relies on others to create his chances. With a deal for Adebayor looking very much still up in the air, if we do indeed secure a Champion’s League spot this season, a star striker should be bolded and underlined on the club shopping list.
A Sandro Shocker
Sandro has had good games and bad games for the club, but yesterday definitely plumbed the murkiest depths of the latter. In a worrying example of Redknapp’s reluctance to make early substitutions despite overwhelming evidence in favour, the Brazilian remained on the pitch after half-time despite a first half littered with poor touches, misplaced passes and general ineptitude. It might seem harsh to single him out in a game where much of the team failed to fire – for example, Modric’s pass success rate was even worse than Sandro’s (83% vs. 84%). However, he simply wasn’t at the races, and there would have been no shame for Redknapp in realising this and replacing him at half-time.
The Omission of Lennon
Another puzzling decision from Redknapp was that which saw Lennon left out of the starting line-up despite his impressive cameo against Swansea last week. The omission is all the more bizarre when you consider Redknapp’s words whilst Lennon was absent, bemoaning the lack of right-sided options without the winger available for selection, and yet failing to reinstate him to the team when he’s available. Rafael van der Vaart put in a good performance against Swansea, but he’s still no right-sided midfielder. Lennon came on belatedly for Sandro, and whether or not he made a definitive impact, the injection of pace was apparent. Hopefully his lack of utilisation in this game points towards a start against Norwich.
Bale also resumed his infuriatingly fruitless habit of not playing where he plays best, on the wing, Parker looked as though he’s suddenly feeling the effects of a long season of 90 minute games, and genuinely, no-one really singled themselves out for special praise.
Chris Foy – Impersonating a Premier League Referee since 2001
Well, I’m not sure we expected. In fairness to Mr. Foy, at least he’s been in esteemed company this weekend – official’s cock-ups seem to have scaled an all-time high, and comparatively his probably wasn’t even amongst the top three worst performances during this round of games. None-the-less, he gets a patronising pat on the back for missing relatively clear handballs by either side, and is probably at least partially to blame for the trough of mediocrity that the game found itself in. Sunderland’s physical approach was apparent from the outset, and there were challenges flying around at several junctures that many other officials would have deemed worthy of a booking. However, Foy’s rather strange reluctance to book anyone before the 62nd minute meant the game’s physicality had long before eclipsed any hope of a spectacle.
A Shift in Momentum
Disappointingly, on top of our failure to find a way through against Sunderland, Manchester City’s failure to mount anything remotely resembling a performance against Arsenal today has left us firmly on the back foot in the battle for third place. Even the most stoical Spurs fan would admit that the advantage now firmly lies with the Gunners, two points ahead, in far better form, and only one arguably difficult fixture remaining against Chelsea. It could be argued that they might well also drop points against Stoke at the Britannia Stadium, but then it’s also worth stating that I think it extremely unlikely Spurs will not also drop points before the season’s end.
With Chelsea’s highly dubious win against Wigan yesterday, and Newcastle emerging victorious again on Friday, we now find ourselves embroiled in a four-way battle for two Champions League spots, and with just five points separating the four teams, there’s little room for falling short in our remaining games. As far as finishing above Arsenal is concerned, today’s result throws a
it wouldn’t be unfair to suggest that, in order to finish above them, we can’t afford to drop points more than once more in the remaining games, a tough ask even considering our relatively easy run in.
It’s not all doom and gloom yet, but it goes without saying that we can’t afford to get anything less than the full three points against Norwich tomorrow night. The challenge for Spurs above that will be to win every game from now until t it’s a tough ask, but stranger things have happened…
