It is the home stadium of Manchester City F.C., in Manchester, England, at 20:45 CEST (19:45 local time) on 14 May 2008.
The match was played by Zenit St. Petersburg of Russia and Rangers of Scotland.
It was called a battle of Rangers coaching staff, with ex-boss Dick Advocaat, currently the manager of Zenit against current boss Walter Smith.
Smith has had two times as manager of Rangers.
Both coaches led the Rangers to the Scottish domestic treble; Smith in 1993 and Advocaat in 1999.
Zenit won the match 2–0.
They had goals from Igor Denisov and Konstantin Zyryanov.
It was their first UEFA Cup title.
It made them only the second Russian side to win the competition, after CSKA Moscow in 2004–05.
The logo of the final shows a picture of the City of Manchester Stadium, created by English artist Liam Spencer.
It was first shown at a ceremony in the stadium on December 6.
Route to the final
Pre-match
Zenit and Michel Platini asked the British government to ease visa procedures for Russian fans, despite Russia having cancelled visas for British fans travelling to 2008 UEFA Champions League Final in Moscow.
However, the Director for British Visa Services for the CIS, Mandy Ivemy, said that "for the U.K. government, visas and biometric checks are a vital part of immigration policy, and we are not prepared to waive them".
Meanwhile, there was a mass flow of Rangers fans into Manchester.
Over a hundred thousand supporters 'invaded' the city despite the club's official ticket allocation being just 13,000 and police requests for fans to stay at home.
The influx of people resulted in there being no vacant hotel rooms in a twenty-mile radius of the city and the total amount of money that was ploughed into the local economy was estimated to be around £25 million.
Rangers' home ground, Ibrox, was opened to show a live beamback of the match to approximately 30,000 spectators.
Fans queued overnight for a seat in the stadium.
The capacity was reached more than two hours before kick-off.
Team news
Zenit St. Petersburg were without the competition's top scorer, Pavel Pogrebnyak, who had picked up two bookings in the knockout stages of the tournament and was therefore suspended.
However, they were able to call upon their other star names such as attacking midfielders Andrei Arshavin and Konstantin Zyryanov, as well as holding midfielder Anatoliy Tymoschuk.
Rangers manager Walter Smith started with Jean-Claude Darcheville on his own up-front, with a five-man midfield supporting him comprising Steven Davis, Kevin Thomson, Steven Whittaker, Barry Ferguson and Brahim Hemdani.
Neil Alexander was making only his tenth start in goal for Rangers, first choice keeper Allan McGregor was injured.

UEFA stadium categories are categories for football stadiums laid out in the UEFA Stadium Infrastructure Regulations.
Using these regulations, stadiums are rated as category one, two, three, or elite (in order going up).
These categories replaced the old method of ranking stadiums as four or five star in 2006.
A stadium must be categorised as elite to host the final of the UEFA Champions League or the UEFA Europa League.
These are UEFA's two top club competitions.

The Futureheads are a four-piece English, punk band from Sunderland.
Their name comes from the title of The Flaming Lips album, Hit to Death in the Future Head.
The band met at City of Sunderland College as a quartet consisting of Barry Hyde (vocals and guitar), David "Jaff" Craig (bass), Peter Brewis (drums), and Ross Millard (vocals and guitar).
Millard and Craig had been in another local band together before.
They used the Sunderland City Detached Youth Project building (where Brewis and Hyde worked) as a free practice space.
The project was meant to get young people off the streets by using music.
They first performed in 2000.
The reputation in the area grew through word-of-mouth.
Hyde's younger brother Dave replaced Brewis (who went on to form Field Music).
In an interview with Channel 4's 4Music, Barry Hyde said that Dave Hyde was given a golden guitar by his parents when he was young.
But Barry had taken it off him to learn to strum his first chords.
Dave was left with nothing, forcing him to take up the drums.
2003-2005; self titled first album
The Futureheads played their first gig at Ashbrooke Cricket and Rugby Club in December, 2000.
They debuted with their "Nul Book Standard" EP and then their "123 Nul EP" on March 10, 2003.
Later that year they released their first single, "First Day," on August 4.
The Futureheads released their self-titled debut album in September, 2004 on 679 recordings.
The song "Decent Days And Nights" from the album was featured in the video game soundtrack to Burnout 3 on PlayStation 2 and Xbox as well as EA's Rugby 2005.
On February 21, 2005, "Hounds of Love", a cover of a Kate Bush song, was released as a single.
It reached number eight in the UK Singles Chart in its first week.
It was named Best Single of 2005 by NME.
The band toured the United States.
They later supported the Pixies, Foo Fighters and Snow Patrol.
They performed at BBC Radio One's One Big Weekend, held in their home town of Sunderland over the weekend of May 7-8, 2005.
On May 8, 2005 Sunderland A.F.C. picked up the Coca-Cola Championship trophy.
In tribute, the Futureheads performed a set live at the Stadium of Light as pre-match entertainment.
2005-2006; News and Tributes
The stand-alone EP, Area was released in November, 2005 while the band was working on their second album News and Tributes.
According to NME in February, 2006, it took only five weeks to make.
The first single from the album was "Skip to the End" released on May 15.
The album News and Tributes was first released on May 29, 2006.
The band became bothered by major label music business and being under contract were very lucky to be set free by 679 Recordings.
Hyde said "we were desperate to get out of the record deal, they could easily have kept us and made us try and make more records but we didn't want that'
2006-2008; This Is Not the World
In June, 2007, they reportedly completed work on their third album, This Is Not the World, which was released in May, 2008.
Millard said that he expected the new album to be punkier than the last album.
He also said that the band was close to splitting during the time after the second album was released.
The band made a free download called "Broke Up The Time" available from their website on November 9, 2007.
They also announced three gigs in the UK followed by a full UK tour.
They now have their own label, Nul Records, set up exclusively to distribute Futureheads material.
In December, 2007 the band released a video of them walking around Carnaby Street, London to the single "The Beginning of the Twist."
It was also accompanied by a free download of a song called "Crash."
The second single from their album "Radio Heart" was released on May 19, 2008 from their album This Is Not The World followed by the release of the music video for the single on April 16.
A third single from the album, Walking Backwards, was released on August 4, 2008.
2008-present; The Chaos
Their latest single, "I Wouldn't Be Like This If You Were Here," was released on December 8, 2008.
In 2009 the band played at the biggest open-air festival in Europe (400,000 - 500,000 rock fans every year) - Przystanek Woodstock in Poland.
In November, 2009, the band allowed fans to download a new free track, "Struck Dumb," for a period of two weeks.
The band released their new album, entitled The Chaos, on 26th April 2010 in the UK.
The overall sound is a little darker and punkier than that of its predecessor.
The Chaos will be released in the USA on 1 June 2010, on Dovecote Records.
The band is influenced by New Wave and Post-punk bands such as Devo, XTC, Wire, and the Post-hardcore Fugazi.
They are also strongly influenced by 1990's singer Lou Bega.

The Futureheads biography and videos
The Dicynodontia are a sub-group of the extinct animals called therapsids.
They were small to large herbivorous (plant-eating) animals with two tusks; 'dicynodont' means 'two dog tooth'.
They are also the most successful and diverse of the non-mammalian therapsids, with over 70 genera (types) known.
All of them had the same basic body plan.
They were built like small tanks, with sturdy legs at each corner.
They were not fast movers, but were obviously strong and lived in groups rather as many plant-eaters do today.
Their body shape was similar to certain types of modern mammals such as pigs and rhinoceros.
Fossils discovered in Poland indicate that dicynodonts survived at least until about 200 million years ago (the Upper Triassic period.
Six fragments of fossil skull bone discovered in Australia (Queensland) may indicate that dicynodonts survived much longer, until about 150 million years ago (the Cretaceous period) in the region called the southern Gondwana.
The dicynodonts were a group of therapsids, but were not ancestors to the mammals.
The group which evolved into mammals was the cynodonts.

The second Rugby League Tri-Nations tournament (known as the Gillette Tri-Nations due to sponsorship) was played between 16 October and 27 November of 2004.
The format of the competition was different from the previous event.
In that event the teams played each other twice instead of once before the final.
The tournament final of the tournament was predicted by some to be a close affair.
The British team was considered a small favourite after finishing at the top of the league table.
Instead, it was a one-sided match as Australia produced their best performance of the tournament.
The game was basically over by half-time when Australia led by 38-0.

Gneiss is a type of metamorphic rock.
The minerals in gneiss may come from rocks which were originally either igneous or sedimentary.
They were heated and squeezed, and the minerals recrystallized.
Orthogneiss is gneiss got from igneous rock (such as granite).
Paragneiss is gneiss got from sedimentary rock (such as sandstone).
In gneisses, minerals tend to be foliated: layered and segregated into bands.
Thus there are seams of quartz and of mica in a mica schist, very thin, but consisting essentially of one mineral.
Lewisian gneiss
The Lewisian complex or Lewisian Gneiss is a suite of Precambrian metamorphic rocks that outcrop in the northwestern part of Scotland, forming part of the Hebridean Terrane.
These rocks are of Archaean and Palaeoproterozoic age, ranging from 3.0–1.7 Ga.

Román Fresnedo Siri (February 4, 1903 – June 26, 1975) was a Uruguayan architect.
He was born in Salto and died in Montevideo.
Siri, Winner of the PAHO Headquarters Project
An international competition to choose the most original design had been won in 1961 by a Uruguayan architect, Mr. Roman Fresnedo Siri.
Siri had won acclaim for designing major civic buildings hroughout South America, including offices and hospitals.
He also had a passion for the ocean, and even used his talents to design racing yachts.
Siri’s spirit and originality did not disappoint.
From its earliest days, architects and passersby alike were intrigued by surprises in the buildings' construction.
Rising dramatically from the shore of the historic Potomac River, two distinct structures dominated the triangular block of land: a circular council chamber and an 11-story crescent-shaped secretariat.
By December 1964, texture and pattern had begun to emerge, giving each building a distinct character.
Geometric diamond shapes decorated the outside of the council chamber, visually played off against the elegant vertical lines of the larger secretariat building.
Gradually, other elements were added: reflecting pools, white columns, and slim concrete fins that gave the buildings a soaring quality.
The council chamber alone could accommodate 400 delegates within its circular walls.
The new PAHO headquarters was officially opened on September 27, 1965.

In electronics manufacturing, a photomask is a special stencil which is used in photolithography to create a printed circuit board or integrated circuit.
When light is shone through the photomask, certain parts where the light hits the unused circuit board are strengthened, much like what toothpaste does to the hard surfaces your teeth.
When a circuit board is put through an acid bath, the parts where the light shone through the photomask stay in place, while the parts that were covered by the shadow of the photomask are eaten away by the acid.
There are two prominent types of masks. "
Contact" masks, which touch the surface of the silicon wafer directly.
These masks are cheaper, at the price of being less precise. "
Proximity" masks are placed near to, but not touching the wafer.
These masks are much more expensive, but also a lot more precise.
Another type is "Projection" masks, also known as "reticles", which only contain the pattern of one chip, instead of the pattern of the whole wafer.
The Gastrotricha, often called hairy backs, are a phylum of microscopic (0.06-3.0 mm) animals abundant in fresh water and marine environments.
Marine species are found mostly in between sediment particles, while terrestrial species live in the water films around grains of soil.
Adults have a fixed cell number.
About 700 species have been described.
Gastrotrichs are bilaterally symmetric, with a transparent body and a flat underside.
Many species have a pair of short projections at the rear end.
The body is covered with cilia, especially about the mouth and on the lower surface.
Its two end projections have cement glands.
This is a double-gland system where one gland secretes the glue and another secretes a de-adhesive.
Like many microscopic animals, their movement is mainly powered by hydrostatics.
Gastrotrichs develop to a particular number of cells; further growth comes only from an increase in cell size.
As is typical for such small animals, there are no respiratory or circulatory organs.
Nitrogenous waste is probably excreted through the body wall, as part of respiration.
The nervous system is relatively simple.
The brain consists of two ganglia, one on either side of the pharynx.
Each ganglion gives rise to a single nerve cord, which runs the length of the body and includes further, smaller ganglia.
The main sense organs are the bristles and ciliated tufts of the body surface.
Some gastrotrichs also possess light sensitive cells in the brain that work as primitive ocelli (eye spots).
Gastrotrichs are simultaneous hermaphrodites: they have both male and female sex organs.
Once the sperm are produced, they are picked up by an organ on the tail that functions as a penis, and transferred to the partner.
Fertilisation is internal, and the eggs are released by rupture of the body wall.
Many species reproduce entirely by parthenogenesis.
In these species the male portions of the reproductive system are non-functional or entirely absent.
Some species can lay eggs that can remain dormant during times of desiccation (drought) or cold.
These species produce regular eggs during good environmental conditions, which hatch in one to four days.
The eggs hatch into miniature versions of the adult.
The young typically reach sexual maturity in about three days, and gastrotrichs can live up to ten days under laboratory conditions.
Gastrotrichs are eutelic: each species has a genetically fixed number of cells as adults.
Cell division stops at the end of embryonic development and further growth is only by cell enlargement.

A hand axe is a stone tool of the Lower (early) and Middle Paleolithic Stone Age.
It was a bifacial, similar on both sides, and held in the hand, not with a handle like a modern axe.
It was held directly in the hand, perhaps wrapped in a piece of leather.
This kind of axe is typical of the Acheulean and the Mousterian cultures, and is the longest-used tool of human history.
Hand axes were certainly used for at least a million and a half years.
They were made by earlier species of man, such as Homo erectus and Homo neanderthalensis (Neanderthal Man); it was one of their most important tools.
The hand axe cultures were preceded by an even older Oldowan culture of primitive stone tools (2.6 to 1.7 million years ago) in Africa.
Now it is known that the first stone tools were probably made by  Australopithecines.
They are found in the Great Rift Valley of Africa from about 3.3 million years ago.
New archaeological evidence from Baise, Guangxi, China shows that there were occasional hand axes in eastern Asia.
However, as the reference shows, the artifacts were overwhelmingly choppers and flakes.
The authors say "The stone tool assemblage shows close associations with the pebble tool industry... in South China".
A line known as the Movius Line divides the Old World into two parts: to the west are the hand axe areas, and to the east are the chopper or flak-and-chip areas.
It is supposed that there were at least two different cultural traditions.
Older hand axes were produced by direct percussion with a stone hammer and can be distinguished by their thickness and a sinuous border.
Later Mousterian handaxes were produced with a soft billet of antler or wood and are much thinner, more symmetrical and have a straight border.
An experienced flintknapper needs less than 15 minutes to produce a good quality hand axe.
A simple hand axe can be made from a beach pebble in less than 3 minutes.
Hand axes are mainly made of flint, but rhyolites,  phonolites,  quartzites and other rather coarse rocks were used as well.
It depends what rocks were available in the vicinity.
Obsidian was rarely used, because it is not widely found.
It produces a brilliant blade, but shatters more easily than flint.
Hand axes were no doubt a multi-purpose tool.
Research on their cutting edges has shown that, in many cases, they were used for butchering meat.
This would include extracting bone marrow (which would explain the pointed end) and general hacking through bone, muscle and tendons.
Experiments at Boxgrove quarry would appear to back this up.
We know for sure that Neanderthals, at least, were hunters of large mammals such as mammoths, and that may be true of other hand axe cultures.
The need for such a heavy tool is thus easily understood.
Wielding a hand axe requires considerable strength, but Neanderthals were stronger than us in their upper bodies.
Key 103 is an independent local radio station that broadcasts to the city of Manchester and the north west of England.
It mostly plays current pop and dance music.
It used to be owned by Trans World Communications and EMAP.
Now it is owned by Bauer Radio.
It is part of the company's Big City Network of stations.
The station is based in Castlefield, Manchester.
It was first named Piccadilly Radio, from its set up in 1974.
It was renamed in August 1988 when it was decided to re-brand Piccadilly Radio's FM frequency to the new name, with a younger target audience in mind.
The original Piccadilly Radio continued to broadcast on the AM frequency of 1152 kHz.
The station broadcasts on the analogue frequency 103 FM, from a 4 kW transmitter on Saddleworth Moor.
It broadcasts on DAB Digital Radio from City Tower (formerly Sunley Tower) on the CE Manchester multiplex.
Key 103's live broadcast can also be listened to from their website, but only from inside the UK.
The station won three awards at the 2008 Sony radio awards.
These consisted of Bronze in the entertainment category for the breakfast show 'Toolan in the Morning', Gold in the competition award for 'Sell Me The Answer' and Gold in the Station of the Year category.
As of 2008/9, Key 103 and its sister station Piccadilly Magic 1152 are the official commercial radio partners of Manchester United and Manchester City, broadcasting all of both clubs' games live.

Joey Scarbury (born June 7, 1955) is an adult contemporary singer best known for his hit song, "Theme from The Greatest American Hero (Believe It or Not)", in 1981.
Growing up in Thousand Oaks, California, Scarbury was continually encouraged in his ambition to sing by his mother.
At the age of 14, after being spotted by songwriter Jimmy Webb's father, he was signed to a recording contract, and seemed to be destined for stardom.
Scarbury's first single, "She Never Smiles Anymore," flopped, and he was soon without a record label.
Scarbury, undaunted by what happened, stayed in music up through the 1970s singing backup for artists like Loretta Lynn, and occasionally recording his own material.
Although he had a minor chart single with "Mixed Up Guy" in 1971, real chart success eluded him for the rest of the decade.
This was to change when he started working for record producer and composer Mike Post.
Post was hired along with Stephen Geyer to write the theme tune for a new TV series dubbed The Greatest American Hero, about a high school teacher who comes into possession of a superhero outfit, and Scarbury was chosen to record it.
An extended version of the song (3:15 compared to the television theme's minute-long length), released by Elektra Records, shot up to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Scarbury could not follow it up however, and after charting at #49 with the single "When She Dances", Scarbury disappeared again from the charts.
Scarbury went on to work with Post again in the mid 1980s to record the song "Back to Back", for the television series Hardcastle and McCormick and teamed up with Desiree Goyette to record "Flashbeagle" for the Peanuts special It's Flashbeagle, Charlie Brown.
He also performed the opening theme for the television series Jennifer Slept Here.
In 1990, Scarbury found success again as a songwriter.
This time, his co-written song "No Matter How High" was recorded by The Oak Ridge Boys and was a number one country music hit.
His co-writer on this song was Even Stevens who previously had found success with co-writing songs for country star Eddie Rabbitt, as well as the Kenny Rogers hit "Love Will Turn You Around" from the motion picture Six Pack.
His hit song from The Greatest American Hero appeared in Michael Moore's film Fahrenheit 9/11 on the scene when President George W. Bush declares the Iraq Mission Accomplished.
In 2008, Joey was back on the radio after a long absence.
His single "How Do You Sleep At Night" broke the top 40.
Scarbury has released several singles starting in 1969 on Dunhill, followed by releases on Reena, Playboy, Bell, Columbia, RCA, Big Tree, Lionel, and Elektra labels.

Kenny Rankin (February 10, 1940 - June 7, 2009) was an American pop and jazz singer and songwriter.
He was originally from the Washington Heights neighborhood of New York City, New York.
Rankin was raised in New York and was introduced to music by his mother, who sang at home and for friends.
The area of Washington Heights, Manhattan was becoming heavily Latino during his youth, and exposure to street music may have played a part.
He began recording at age 17 (1957), eventually working as a songwriter contracted to Columbia Records.
Rankin's earliest composition, "My Carousel" was written for Carmen McRae, followed by "A Happy Guy" for teen idol Rick Nelson.
He had already developed a serious amphetamine problem by that time.
He taught himself classical guitar, at age 24, inspired by the playing of Don Costa, who had started on that instrument before becoming one of the most important arrangers in popular music.
He played rhythm guitar on some tracks on Bob Dylan's album Bringing it All Back Home (1965).
Rankin developed a considerable following during the 70s with a steady flow of albums, three of which broke into the Top 100 of the Billboard Album Chart.
His liking for jazz was evident from an early age, but the times were such that in order to survive his career had to take a more pop-oriented course, and he cited singer-songwriter Laura Nyro consistently as a major influence.
Rankin appeared on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson more than twenty times.
Carson was so impressed by him that he wrote the liner notes to Rankin's 1967 debut album Mind Dusters, which featured the single "Peaceful."
Rankin's friend Helen Reddy would reach #2 Adult Contemporary and #12 Pop in 1973 with a cover of it, released as her follow-up single to "I Am Woman".
Georgie Fame also had a hit with this song in 1969, his only songwriting credit to hit the British charts reaching number sixteen and spending 9 weeks on the chart.
Rankin's original song "In the Name of Love" frequently featured wordless improvisational singing and showed his range and command of articulating lyrics at a blistering waltz tempo, but performed more slowly it had a distinctly Brazilian flavor.
