Pedro de relates Jonny Lang la Rosa johnny lang reasons was expected to take the other seat, but talks have not been fruitful and even Nelsinho Piquet may have a chance for a seat due to his good financial backings.No one has a clue about who will be signed for Manor GP and USF1. We can rule out some famous American drivers like Danica Patrick and Marco Andretti for USF1, while experienced drivers like Anthony Davidson and Alexander Wurz will be on the radar for these teams.Nothing is certain until the Bahrain GP of 2010 where we will actually know which teams make it and which drivers manage to have a spot on the grid.. MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia cannot afford to keep its gas taps for Europe turned off for too long as it needs to protect its budget revenues and its gas monopoly Gazprom needs to service its $60 billion debt. World  |  RussiaGas exports account for about a tenth of Russia's GDP, but these have been halted for nearly a week in a dispute with neighboring Ukraine, the transit route for 80 percent of the gas Russia sells to Europe.Analysts say Gazprom, a pillar of the Russian economy, is losing more than $100 million a day because of the transit cut-off.The loss of revenue comes at a bad time both for Russia, facing plummeting oil prices and the prospect of a recession, and for Gazprom, saddled with debt and likely to find gas prices falling by half by mid-2009 as they track crude."Gazprom faces demand destruction, falling prices, and huge challenges to finance its ambitious investments and manage its debt burden," said Douglas Busvine, an analyst at policy research firm Medley Global Advisors."Both it and the Russian state can ill afford the revenue hit that a prolonged loss of export revenues would cause."FRAGILE ECONOMYRussian gas supplies to Europe via Ukraine have been halted due to a pricing row between Moscow and Kiev.The disruption has left some countries in Europe shivering in winter temperatures, but it has also hurt a fragile Russian economy.Driven down by the weak oil price, Russia's currency has lost nearly 3 percent in the first two trading days of 2008, building on a fall of 17 percent in 2008.In the meantime, the $40 price for a barrel of oil is well short of the minimum $60 Russia needs to balance its budget in 2009, threatening the lavish spending that has helped cement the Kremlin's grip on power.With revenues of 1.74 trillion roubles ($56.99 billion) in the first half of 2009, Gazprom was responsible for 9 percent of Russia's GDP and its export shipments to Europe contributed around 15 percent to Russia's overall export revenues.But Gazprom is also Russia's most indebted company with 20 outstanding Eurobond issues and an obligation to buy a stake in its oil producer Gazprom Neft from Italy's ENI for $4.5 billion before April.LOSSES WIDENPrime Minister Vladimir Putin said on Sunday Gazprom had lost $800 million because of the dispute and Renaissance Capital brokerage said the figure was rising by $127-$141 million every day."The winter season witnesses peak demand of the year, and gas prices are at a record high of $450-$500 per 1,000 cubic meters now as gas prices are following oil prices with a six to nine month lag," said Viktor Mishnyakov from Uralsib brokerage."Gazprom's huge 2009 investment program of $29.4 billion requires strong cash flow and further gas supply delays are clearly detrimental," he added.Gazprom, the world's largest gas producer which supplies a quarter of Europe's gas needs, approved in December a 32 percent rise in capital expenditures, seeking to build new pipelines and launch new Arctic fields as output is stagnating in Siberia.European sales are the most profitable business for Gazprom, which exports about one-third of its total gas production and generates 60-70 percent of total sales on shipments abroad as domestic prices remain capped by the state.Now though, export prices are poised to shrink fast.Mikhail Korchemkin from Pennsylvania-based East European Gas Analysis think tank believes prices will fall as low as $180 per tcm in the third quarter and Matthew Vogel from Barclays Capital sees average Gazprom 2009 prices at $250.Ukraine, on its side, is facing its worst ever financial crisis as the local currency, the hryvnia, lost half its value to the dollar and dozens of enterprises have closed down.That raises the stakes for both Gazprom and Kiev, which have yet to agree on the price for gas for 2009 for Ukraine itself, which Gazprom says needs to move closer to European prices after years of post-Soviet subsidies."The worst-case scenario for Russia and Gazprom is that the dispute drags on for too long and, regardless of the commercial merits of the dispute, the investment reputational damage becomes more extensive and longer-lasting," said Chris Weafer, chief strategist at UralSib brokerage.Weafer added that by his standards the "too long" deadline had already passed after the two sides failed to agree on European supply resumption at the weekend.The two sides signed a deal on Monday for a second time to help secure the resumption of the gas supplies.(Editing by James Jukwey) World Russia. Many tennis players are growing increasingly unhappy at the gruelling length and content of the ATP Tour.  The yearly season runs from early January, where warm-up tournaments take place in Australasia and the Middle East in preparation for the first Grand Slam of the year in Australia, to the ATP World Tour Finals in London in late November, and even the Davis Cup Finals in December.  From beginning to end, this arduous, jam-packed calendar provides just four weeks of offseason before the tour begins once again.  The rest and recuperation that the players so dearly need by this stage, therefore, is severely limited.  Signs that this growing tour schedule is taking its toll have been noticeably visible in recent months.  Until the ATP 500 tournament in Basel this past week, Roger Federer did not play any tennis since the US Open apart from his Davis Cup appearance.  His necessary break from the tour in order to recover from fatigue and exhaustion was longer than his regular offseason.

 Andy Murray was also a no-show in the recent ATP 1000 tournament in Shanghai due to a wrist injury, only returning in Valencia last week, but with frequent icing on his longstanding injury.Nadal, too, has been a victim of the season's busy schedule.  After his Australian Open win, plus multiple successes on the American hard courts and European clay earlier in the year, his constant weekly play finally took its toll on his knees and the Spaniard had to withdraw from the tour for several months. Even in the recent tournament in Shanghai, signs that Nadal had still not fully recuperated from his ailments (he has also been suffering from a stomach muscle pull) were visible jonny lang anything is possible .  The most vociferous critic, however, of the current tour schedule is American Andy Roddick jonny lang tour . One of nine players to withdraw from the Shanghai field, Roddick has also withdrawn from this week's Paris 1000 event, citing knee problems. Applauding the innovative WTA Tour Road Map that was instituted this year and designed to give the women a longer offseason, Roddick strongly believes that more time between important tournaments, and a longer offseason is desperately required for the men's tour. The problem seems to be particularly poignant this year, since so many top players have been consistently reaching the quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals of every event that they have entered.  Playing five or six matches per week, every week, can take its toll on even the most finely-tuned athlete. The fact that Grand Slams and ATP 1000 tournaments are compulsory for qualifying players only adds to the demands on high ranking players jonny lang wander .  Although the current ATP CEO, Adam Helfant, has been more willing to listen to players' complaints and suggestions than his closed predecessor, Etienne de Villiers, there are still questions over whether the tour schedule will be changed. Despite the ATP Tour having player representatives, ultimately the governing board has control over the structure and content of the tour. The conflict between players' needs and sponsors' demands, even for such an experienced professional, will be hard to resolve. jonny lang smokin .
