UEFA announces Canon as Official Sponsor of UEFA EURO 2008™
Nyon, July 18, 2007 – Canon Europe was today announced as an Official Sponsor of the UEFA European Football Championship™ – UEFA EURO 2008™ - which will take place in Austria and Switzerland in June 2008. |
 This agreement continues Canon’s long-standing association with the game of football going back almost 30 years, including several seasons as official supplier of the UEFA Champions League (1995-2000 and 2004-2006), support for the UEFA European Football Championship™ (1980-1996), the UEFA EURO 2004™ tournament (as official sponsor) and consecutive World Cup tournaments (1978-1998). Canon Europe’s current football portfolio includes sponsorship of UEFA Cup™ Final matches (from 2006/07 final up to and including the 2008/09 final), the UEFA Super Cup™ match (from 2007 up to and including the August 2008 match). Canon Europe is also Official Sponsor of the MTN Africa Cup of Nations 2008 in Ghana and the Russian Premier Football League. Commenting on the announcement UEFA General Secretary, David Taylor, said: “Canon has a long history of partnership with football and in particular with the UEFA European Football Championships™. We are therefore delighted that they have now joined forces with UEFA for the staging of UEFA EURO 2008™ in Austria and Switzerland, and are looking forward to working together.” Hajime Tsuruoka, President and CEO of Canon Europe added: “Football is a highly visual and empowering sport and we are delighted to extend our long term association with football by strengthening our partnership with UEFA.” “The UEFA EURO 2008™ tournament provides us with another wonderful opportunity to reach out across national and cultural boundaries to promote Canon products via the most popular sport in the world. Canon’s support for this exciting competition underscores our commitment to football and to the many millions of fans who celebrate the game around the globe.” In one of the highlights of its agreement with UEFA, Canon will gain significant television exposure via onscreen credits that will appear during tournament matches. To support the event organisation, Canon will showcase its latest business solution technology in a selection of media centres. For professional photographers attending the tournament, Canon will provide camera and lens maintenance service and loan depots at media centres inside the stadiums. Canon will also participate in the Official Fan Zones which will be set up in central public spaces of the 8 cities hosting matches throughout the tournament, and the ‘UEFA Euro Experience’ roadshow events that will tour Austria and Switzerland for the duration of the tournament. |

Williams Hell Program
Who the hell is Robyn Williams? Can anyone help?
This morning's Ockham's Razor broadcast was by Don Aitkin on global warming. Presenter Robyn Williams introduced him in these terms:
It is one of the disappointments of my life as a broadcaster that I've never managed to interview Nigella Lawson. How would she fit into a science program you may wonder, but that's mere detail.I have, on the other hand, had her father Nigel Lawson on the Science Show, talking about innovation or some such, with his usual flair and penetrating intelligence. Not a science-trained man, but economics is near enough, isn't it, and he was Thatcher's Chancellor of the Exchequer (or Treasurer).
Now Lord Lawson has brought out a book on climate called An Appeal to Reason. Here's the first paragraph of a review in this week's Spectator magazine:
'When there is so much data suggesting the world's climate is heating up', goes the review, 'some may find it presumptuous of Nigel Lawson, who is not a scientist and has undertaken no original research, to hope to challenge the prevailing orthodoxy. Would we take seriously an appraisal of his time as Chancellor of the Exchequer written by someone whose only expertise was in oceanography?'
Well the same could apply to Professor Don Aitkin, former Vice-Chancellor of the University of Canberra, a political scientist and like Lawson, a journalist. Professor Aitkin gave a lecture on climate to the Planning Institute of Australia, A Cool Look at Global Warming. That was a couple of weeks ago, and I thought you might like to hear some of his thoughts, recast for Ockham's Razor. Though 9 out of 10 Australians are said to be alarmed at climate change, 10% think differently, and Professor Aitkin is one of them.
There are a number of issues of impartiality that arise from this introduction, but in this post I am interested in the main slight which is that because Aitkin is a "journalist" (I actually think he would be more correctly described as a social scientist) he cannot be taken seriously on the issue of climate change.
So, I'm interested in what qualifications Robyn Williams has. Afterall, while argument from authority has no role to play in establishing the truth of a proposition, turned back on its proponent it can often be the best demonstration of just how hollow their argument is.
Here is what I think I know about Williams. Happy to be corrected, or to have the list extended.
- He has an honours degree in biology. He does not have qualifications in physics, climatology or earth-sciences
- He has some honorary PhDs, but he does not have an actual PhD
- He is a visiting professor at UNSW, but is not actually on staff
- He is an adjunct professor at UQ, but is not actually on staff
- He has in the past, and perhaps to the present, been a supporter of communist politics .
Kia, Hyundai to sponsor Euro 2008
Korean auto manufacturers Kia Motors Corporation and Hyundai Motor Corporation have become official sponsors of the UEFA European Football Championship to be held in 2008.
Kia, an affiliate of Hyundai, said the sponsorship will allow the company to promote its brand on perimeter boards around the stadiums and through official UEFA TV broadcast partners during Euro 2008. In addition, Kia will also provide official vehicles that will be used during the event.
Kia said it expects the sponsorship to boost its brand image and awareness across the European market. Financial terms of the sponsorship deal were not disclosed.
The partnership broadens Kia's sponsorship of football, which started with the 2002 FIFA World Cup held in Korea/Japan and now includes official partnerships with FIFA until 2014 and the Chinese national men's and women's football teams.
