Daniel Haas

Daniel Haas (born 1 August 1983 in Erlenbach am Main, West Germany) is a German footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for 1. FC Union Berlin.

Hoffenheim

In Hoffenheim, Haas was one of the only two players who had been with Hoffenheim since their promotion to the 2. Bundesliga and then to the Bundesliga, the German top-flight. Although Hoffenheim's number 1, he never played over 25 games a season.

Along with Ramazan Özcan or Thorsten Kirschbaum contending for the role of netminder, Haas enjoyed a rather good playing time, with 23 starts in 2006—07 and 17 the next season. After Timo Hildebrand's arrival to the club of the Rhein Neckar Arena early in 2009, he had seen his appearances becomings less frequent as his last game came on 11 April, ending with a send off in the 61st minute of play.

Haas had recovered his starting position during the first half of the 2010–11 season, but was named second choice after the arrival of Tom Starke.

Union Berlin

On 15 May 2012, Haas' contract with Hoffenheim expired, and he signed a two-year contract with 1. FC Union Berlin, keeping him at the club until 2014.

Daniel

Daniel is a masculine given name and a surname of Hebrew origin. It means, "God is my judge", and derives from two early biblical figures, primary among them Daniel from the Book of Daniel. It is a common given name for males, and is also used as a surname. It is also the basis for various derived given names and surnames.

Background

The name evolved into over 100 different spellings in countries around the world. Nicknames (Dan, Danny) are common in both English and Hebrew, although in some instances "Dan" may be a complete given name rather than a nickname. The name "Daniil" (Даниил) is common in Russia. Feminine versions (Danielle, Daniela, Daniella, Dani, Danitza) are prevalent as well. The Dutch names "Daan" and "Daniël" are also variations of Daniel. A related surname developed as a patronymic, Daniels. Other surnames derived from "Daniel" include McDaniel and Danielson.

In the United States, the U.S. Social Security Administration reports that Daniel has peaked as the fifth most popular name for newborns in 1985, 1990, 2007, and 2008. The U.S. Census Bureau reported that in the 2000 census, "Daniels" was the 182nd most common surname in the U.S., while "McDaniel" was ranked at 323, and "Daniel" (without a final "s") was ranked at 380.

Daniel (Bat for Lashes song)

"Daniel" is a song by English recording artist Bat for Lashes, from her second studio album, Two Suns. It is her best selling single to date, selling over 46,000 copies worldwide. The song was announced as the lead single from Two Suns in January 2009, then released as a digital download single on 1 March 2009, and as a 7" vinyl single on 6 April 2009. The track was written by Natasha Khan and produced by David Kosten, as with all tracks on the album. Ira Wolf Tuton from Yeasayer provided the bass lines for the song and Khan did the rest of the instrumentation herself. Khan said in an interview with The Sun newspaper that "Daniel" is based on a fictional character that she fell in love with as a teenager. The single's cover features Khan with an image of the character Daniel LaRusso, from the film The Karate Kid, painted on her back. A character much like LaRusso also features at the end of the music video which goes with the song. The B-side of the 7" is a cover version of a 1980 single by The Cure.
