LONDON (AP) -Carlos Tevez has appealed to the Premier League against a six-week fine imposed by Manchester City for his continued absence from the club.

City found Tevez guilty on Dec. 22 of gross misconduct for traveling without permission to his native Argentina in November, where he remains.

The Premier League leaders handed Tevez a fine of 1.2 million pounds ($1.9 million), which the player appealed on Jan. 7. That appeal was thrown out on Jan. 11 by City directors Marty Edelman and Mohamed al-Mazrouei following a hearing.

Tevez hasn't played for City since refusing to warm up during a Champions League game against Bayern Munich in September.

TEEN FICTION: 'The Violinist'

This is a regular column featuring original fiction by and for high school students, provided by Figment.com, an online community writing site for young people.

I melt into a crowd heading for the auditorium, disguising myself among a hundred or so other people. Thankfully, I don?t recognize a single one of them. I don?t want to talk to anyone right now. I don?t want to see anyone except?

I find my seat among the rest of the audience and wait. Slowly, the lights dim. I can?t help noticing the butterflies in my stomach, the knot in my throat. I tear away pieces of the program, a green booklet, until a little hill of paper is in my lap. I want to run away. I want to melt into the chair. I want to dissappear.

What I want is?

The performers come out, tall and sleek in black and carrying their instruments with the regality of an old English court. They sit and ready themselves, all the while giving us the impression that we aren?t even there. We are insignificant, quiet little specks of nothing compared to them, at this very moment.

To you, I?m probably?

I?d be lying if I said I wasn?t looking for him. And I know it?s about the music and the performance and all the effort they?ve put into their work? But I can?t help it. I search for him. And I feel paranoid for a moment and I wonder if anyone has noticed me, but of course they haven?t. They talk to each other, idle chatter, and are completely unaware of my meaningless anxiety and the mess of scrap paper in my lap and the way I can?t even hear myself think and-?I?ve found him.

He?s dressed in all black, like the others, but he might as well be wearing a neon sign on his forehead for all the attention he?s robbed me of. Like a fool, I am hypnotized. Like a child, I stare straight at him. Like an idiot, I pull my hair around my face, push my glasses up, and hide.

I?m nothing more than...

The violin is at his chin, his arm is in position, and before I realize it, they?ve begun. He slowly, carefully, rocks through the notes. He sinks into a low note, rises with the high ones. He plays that instrument with his whole body; he plays it like his life depends on it. I don?t think I?ve ever known anyone so in love with music.

And somewhere in the middle of it all, I feel strange, creepy, intrusive? like I?m witnessing something that I really shouldn?t be. I try focusing on the others, on the conductor, on anything but him. I focus on the song. Beethoven?s Moonlight Sonata, a version specifically arranged for the string ensemble. It?s beautiful and slow with a painful undertone.

He?s completely focused. I think to myself, it must have been this moment. This is the moment that I first felt myself drawn to him. I say ?drawn? because I don?t know how else to describe all these emotions. Admiration? Respect? Love? I feel like they?re so closely related?How do I differentiate them all?

Is there even such as thing as?

Suddenly it?s over. He breathes. He?s pleased, raises his eyebrows and smiles a little to his friends. The conductor bows, the performers rise and bow. He glances out into the audience, looks in my direction.

But I know he isn?t looking me. He?s looking at someone next to me, someone behind me. Hell, he?s probably just looking at the clock on the opposite side of the auditorium. Never at me. I hold my breath and resist the urge to look away. He couldn?t have seen me watching him, it?s way too dark over here?

The performers exit, the lights go on, and I?m outside and into the hallway as soon as they open the doors. My head is full of too many things and the boy and his violin are still playing loudly in my mind. I try and remember how to breathe? The reality is really unavoidable.

He saw me.

SOURCE: Apple's Mobile Ad Business Was Held Back By Steve ...

There's one part of Apple's business that might actually improve now that Steve Jobs is no longer running the company: iAd.?

According to a source familiar with the situation, it was harder for the iAd team to get things done as Jobs became sicker because he called all the shots on iAd.

With Jobs gone, Eddy Cue, who is now responsible for iAds, can make decisions on pricing, technology, and positioning that no one would talk about when Jobs was around.

We asked our source if Apple was still committed to iAds. It hasn't been mentioned at all on the latest earnings calls, or keynotes. Our source thinks Apple is more committed today than when it initially acquired Quattro, because Apple now owns iAd.

Our source also added that Apple has an opportunity to do amazing things with iAd because it has the most data on a user through iTunes registration and download history.

Economy likely ended 2011 with strong growth (AP)

WASHINGTON ? A weak year for the economy likely ended on a hopeful note.

The economy likely grew at annual rate of 3 percent in the October-December quarter, according to a survey by FactSet. The Commerce Department will release the actual figure Friday.

The gain would represent modest improvement from this summer, when the economy grew just 1.8 percent. However, even with the strong finish, economists believe the economy expanded just 1.7 percent for the whole year ? roughly half the growth in 2010.

And growth is expected to slow in the first three months of this year. A key reason is wages have failed to keep pace with inflation. That will likely force many consumers to pull back on spending after splurging over the holidays.

Consumer spending is important because it makes up 70 percent of economic activity.

Businesses are also expected to reduce spending in the first quarter after building up their stockpiles in the final months of 2011.

Richard DeKaiser, a senior economist at Parthenon Group, expects just 2 percent annual growth in the January-March quarter. But Kaiser says that should be the weakest quarter. He expects the economy to gain strength in each quarter and grow 2.6 percent for the entire year.

The year is off to a good start. Companies invested more in equipment and machinery in December. The unemployment rate fell to 8.5 percent last month ? the lowest level in nearly three years ? after the sixth straight month of solid hiring.

People are buying more cars, and consumer confidence is rising. Even the depressed housing market has shown enough improvement to make some economists predict a turnaround has begun.

Still, many economists worry that a recession in Europe could dampen demand for U.S. manufactured goods, which would slow growth. And without more jobs and better pay, consumer spending is likely to stagnate.

The Federal Reserve signaled this week that a full recovery could take at least three more years. In response, it said it would probably not increase its benchmark interest rate until late 2014 at the earliest ? a year and a half later than it had previously said.

The central bank also slightly reduced its outlook for growth this year, from as much as 2.9 percent forecast in November down to 2.7 percent. The Fed sees unemployment falling as low as 8.2 percent this year.

DeKaiser said part of his optimism stems from a view that housing sales and prices will rise moderately this year. That should lift the battered construction industry, which ended last year with three months of gains in single-family home construction.

At the moment, housing remains the weakest part of the economy. New-home sales fell last month, and total sales for 2011 were the lowest on records dating back to 1963.

"I think the clouds will gradually lift over housing. Rising home prices will make consumers feel wealthier and this will translate into stronger consumer spending," DeKaiser said.
