Italy's Cassano fined for gay slur at Euro 2012

Associated Press Sports

updated 7:00 p.m. ET July 20, 2012

NYON, Switzerland (AP) -UEFA has fined Italy forward Antonio Cassano for his comments about gay players at the European Championship.

UEFA says Cassano was fined ?15,000 ($18,250) for making "a discriminatory press statement" at an official media event in Poland last month.

Cassano told reporters during a press conference he hoped there were no homosexual players on the Italian national squad, and then used a derogatory word to describe gays.

When an Italian reporter suggested there were gay players on the team, Cassano appeared at a loss for words before responding.

"That's their problem, but I hope not," he said.

Cassano can appeal the decision that was announced Friday.

Deloitte: Drilling Activity up 64% on UK

Offshore drilling activity on the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS) rose 64% during the second quarter of 2012 compared to the same period last year, according to the latest industry figures released by Deloitte.
The report, which documents drilling and licensing across North West Europe between April 1 and June 30, shows 18 exploration and appraisal wells were drilled on the UKCS during the period. This also represents a 64% increase on the first quarter of 2012.
With deal activity ? where oil and gas fields are bought and/or sold - in the UK also rising 47% this quarter, compared to Q2 last year, and an increase in field development approvals and start-ups, the outlook for the UK oil and gas industry is positive.
?We traditionally experience a rise in activity during the summer months, however this year?s spur of activity reflects a higher year-on-year increase.? said Graham Sadler, managing director of Deloitte?s Petroleum Services Group.?
?We have some way to go before we are back to the levels seen in 2009 and 2010, however the positive announcements in the Government?s March Budget with regards to the extension and change in field tax allowances should encourage further exploration, appraisal and development activity. Furthermore, the announcements made to provide more certainty on the decommissioning tax relief, if implemented, should allow companies to recover cash flow previously tied up in financial guarantees for further investment across the UKCS.
?Interestingly, we are also seeing a reversal in terms of drilling activity levels in the UK compared to Norway which is down 33% in the last quarter. This may suggest the recent tax changes introduced by the UK Government are encouraging organisations to look at the North Sea in a more positive light.
?While we will have to wait until next year to see the full impact, the highly competitive 27th Licensing Round is likely to trigger more exploration and appraisal commitment from companies who are putting down plans for the next two to three years. With an improved fiscal environment and steadily high commodity prices, it is reasonable to assume that we will see an expansion on the exploration campaigns started during the last quarter.?
The report indicates a mix of companies in the North Sea making use of the Government?s March Budget announcement, with a number of deals focused on new and existing discoveries, as well as deals involving fields under development or fields that are already producing.
The number of field start-ups occurring in the first half of 2012 also shows positive signs for the industry. So far in 2012, across the North Sea, eight new fields have come onstream. This is higher than the total number of field start-ups seen during 2011 and more than double those seen in 2009 and 2010.
Added to this, the number of fields being approved for development by the UK and Norwegian governments has been increasing over the past three years. In 2009 only eight fields were awarded development approval and last year a total of 18 projects were granted approval.
?With the sustained high oil-price and the evolution of new technologies, companies are now able to develop what, in the past would have been considered as sub-commercial developments and already in the first six months of 2012 we have seen 12 fields being approved? added Mr Sadler.
Deal activity meanwhile has picked up in the UK with 25 deals taking place in the second quarter of 2012. This is two more than in the previous quarter and eight more than during the same period last year (47% increase).
?While overall levels of deal activity across North West Europe remain similar to those seen during the previous quarter, the UK has not only seen a rise but we have experienced a reversal in the type of deals being made,? said Graham Hollis, energy partner at Deloitte in Aberdeen.
?A year ago deals were strongly dominated by farm-in activity (where companies offer a percentage in a field to potential partners or investors) as companies looked to spread risk and financial commitments. Across Northwest Europe, only nine farm-ins have occurred during the second quarter of 2012, a 58% drop compared to the same period last year.
?Instead, we have seen a 58% rise in the number of asset transactions (fields being bought and/or sold) across Northwest Europe, as companies feel the benefit of increased liquidity and are increasingly willing to take risks and spend money on full asset acquisitions.?
The average Brent oil price for the second quarter was USD 108.3 per barrel, compared to USD 118.43 per barrel in the first three months of the year. The oil price continues to be strong, hovering around the USD 100 per barrel mark, however, for the first time in over a year, it has dropped below this figure.

Andrea R. Vaucher: Along For The Ride: Toronto And Beyond (PHOTOS)

From the exquisite pecorino from Monforte Dairy in Stratford to Langdon Hall chef Jonathan Gushue's dazzling organic gastronomic art, from the fries at just about any roadside "chip" wagon to Top Chef Susur Lee's cheeseburger spring rolls, my recent culinary escapade in Ontario rivaled the times I've spent eating around Quebec.

Though comestibles are always near the top of my list when I travel, there were also museum visits, new hotels to check out and an amazing trip to Niagara Falls to witness Nik Wallenda tightrope from the US to Canada.

I agree with Pulitzer Prize-winning American author Richard Ford -- whom I got to see as part of Toronto's Luminato Festival -- who says there's a profound difference between the U.S. and Canada, something "beyond language," hard to put into words. Things did feel slightly askew. There was less attitude, less edge here than in the States. "It's much easier to stand out here," said my beautiful and exotic god-daughter, Skye Collyer, who -- in my eyes -- would stand out anywhere.

But despite the common border, Canada is a foreign country, so why wouldn't the people be different? Do I expect Parisians to act the way New Yorkers do?

Ford's heady discussion about literature and life with Canadian author Jane Urquhart, during which he read from his new novel, Canada, was worth the $20 ticket. (In NY or LA, it would have cost way more or you never would be have been able to get tickets.) A few days earlier, Luminato presented a conversation on Canadian food between New Yorker magazine writer Adam Gopnick, who is from Montreal, and writer Calvin Trillin, who is American but who has summered on the south shore of Nova Scotia for 40 years.

EAT
The Gopnick/Trillin talk made us hungry, so we tried Catch, a new sustainable seafood restaurant. The "more than one pounder" Lake Huron trout was the evening's hit, moist and tasty, though the steamer clams (which they called soft-shell clams) were pretty amazing, too.

One of my favorite meals during the trip was lunch at Canoe, atop the TD Bank Tower downtown. Though the place, which features artisanal Canadian ingredients, has been around for 16 years, it's as hip as ever in this newly renovated incarnation. The chef whipped up a pasta with summer vegetables so fresh I would have believed him had he told me they have an organic garden right next to the helipad. My god-daughter's lobster club was a knock-out.

The meal to end all meals, though, was a tasting menu prepared by Jonathan Gushue at Langdon Hall (more below), a Relais & Chateaux property a couple of hours from Toronto in Cambridge. Everything on the menu is local and sustainable and most produce comes from the hotel's prolific organic garden or is unearthed by their resident forager.

Gushue, who used to be the chef at the Toronto Four Seasons, served us a multi-course extravaganza that began with Monforte pecorino and one perfect shaved raw asparagus, then progressed to New Brunswick caviar, tete de cochon, lettuce gazpacho over heritage tomatoes, strawberries and an oyster mixed in oyster juice, succulent rack of lamb and on and on. This feast was accompanied by pastry chef Sarah Villamere's pecorino breadsticks, which she packaged for us (along with sea buckthorn marshmallows) for the ride home.

Other Toronto culinary detours worth making:

• Dinner at STOCK in the new Trump (see below) for sexy ambiance to a Buddha-Bar soundtrack, the impeccable service, the 32 oz. bone-in ribeye and Mr. Chow's Grand Finale, a dessert cart piled high with chocolate creations by genius pastry chef David Chow. You pay by the gram!


• Il Gatto Nero on College Street for quattro staggioni pizza any time Italy's playing a televised soccer match.

STAY
Trump International Hotel and Tower
WHY? It's a brand-new world-class property with a staff that will make you feel like a VIP from the minute you step through the dramatic porte cochere into the dazzling black marble lobby. Much more Ivanka (think young, elegant, gorgeous) than Donald, the place oozes luxury in every design detail from the crystal sconces to the black glass chandeliers to the burled woods and tons of Carrera marble.

Best features:

• The quiet. I wondered if I had the hotel to myself. (I didn't!)


• The bathrooms. Fourteen-inch rainfall showerheads, a television set within the anti-fog mirrors.


• The Crystal Spa.


• The soon-to-be opened indoor rooftop infinity pool.

Windsor Arms Hotel
WHY? Location, location, location. This discreet and elegant 28-suite hotel is on a tranquil side street in Yorkville, the trendy, tree-lined part of the city.

Best features:

• A separate and extensive vegetarian menu in addition to traditional fare.


• The in-room Jacuzzi tubs that fill in a flash.


• The salt-water swimming pool, which is heated to 90 degrees and open 24 hours a day. To swim laps at midnight with the lights dimmed after a hectic day is HEAVEN ... much healthier than a sleeping pill!

VISIT
The Bata Shoe Museum. I'd heard about this museum for years, but never made it there; I much prefer shoe shopping to shoe gazing. The permanent collection has Lennon's Beatle boots and the Dalai Lama's flip flops, among other soles of famous souls. The Roger Vivier show (through 4/7/13) shows how the late Parisian shoe designer, who never became a household name like Louboutin or Blahnik, truly inspired the designer shoe revolution.

The Art Gallery of Toronto to see Picasso's Picassos -- 147 pieces that the master kept for himself -- and to check out the smashing Gehry addition. The museum restaurant is in on the act with a delectable Spanish luncheon menu though the end of the show in August.

I probably would have never made it to Niagara Falls if Nik Wallenda hadn't decided to walk across them. But he was, so we went and I'm thrilled I got to see this majestic natural wonder. The Marriott Gateway on the Falls Hotel, was the perfect place to stay: our room had a drop-dead view of both the U.S. and Canadian Falls from the bed! I watched Wallenda live, out the window, and on the flat screen at the same time -- what a luxury.

While in Niagara Falls, I ate at Canadian superstar chef Jamie Kennedy's Windows in the Sheraton, which offered another spectacular view of both falls. We toodled back to Toronto via the Niagara Parkway, which Winston Churchill called "the prettiest Sunday afternoon drive in the world."

The Yorkville Club, if fitness is part of your life. Hotel gyms are great, but, if available, I like a full-service health club when I'm on the road. At TYC, you can purchase a day pass and partake in classes galore (don't miss Pilates with Melissa) then chill in the steam and sauna.

ESCAPE
Two hours from Toronto, Langdon Hall in Cambridge is the perfect weekend getaway. Built over 100 years ago as a summer house by the great grandson of John Jacob Astor and looking every bit like a set from a PBS Masterpiece Theatre production, the Federal Revival mansion dramatically appears at the end of a long drive that curves around the greenest lawn in Ontario.

Langdon Hall exudes elegance and luxury in every detail from the sumptuous feather beds and ironed sheets to the talented healers in the spa to the exquisite cuisine created from the garden's seasonal offerings by Chef Gushue and his team. It's the kind of place you check into and never leave until you hit the highway to go back home -- a little croquet, a massage, a snooze by the pool, oh, maybe you'll take a bike ride, but that's it. The owners of Langdon Hall, Mary Beaton and William Bennett, who bought the place in 1982, have made Langdon Hall their passion -- and boy, does it show. Every Friday through August, Langdon Hall presents a Summer Barbecue Series where Gushue hosts guest chefs, wine makers, cookbook authors and other foodie-types.

If you're in Toronto in the summer you'll hear everyone talking about getting away to cottage country. Whether it's a cabin with no electricity or a monster mansion on a lake, to Canadians it's a cottage and if you don't have one you'll feel like a loser. Well, now you can have a cottage on gorgeous Sturgeon Lake, two hours from Toronto, at Eganridge, a heritage estate turned laid-back resort owned by George Friedmann, who also owns the Windsor Arms.

In the wild Kawartha Lakes region, east of Toronto, Eganridge boasts one of the oldest hand-hewn log structures in Canada, has a nine-hole (par 35) golf course in impeccable condition, a full-service spa, a dining room with a breathtaking view, beachfront on the lake and tranquility galore. A couple days here and you'll know the meaning of get-out-of-town. There are one- and two-bedroom cottages or individual terraced rooms.
