Asamoah: It's time to notch up my game at Juventus
By Ameenu Shardow
Kwadwo Asamoah has expressed his delight at joining Juventus and says it is time to notch up his game to an all new level.
The Ghana international made these comments during his first official press conference at the club on Friday afternoon ahead of his first official training session with the side.
The 23-year-old sealed his dream move to the Old Lady from Udinese in a move reportedly worth 9m Euros for 50% of Asamoah's transfer rights alongside Chilean Mauricio Isla.
And after receiving a rapturous welcome from the fans and being handed the number 22 jersey, the former Liberty Professionals player says it is time to repay the faith reposed in him by the reigning Serie-A champions.
"I am delighted to be here, Juventus are a very important team and I'll give my all to be of use to this side,†he said at his first official press conference for Turin club.
"The fans' welcome was great. I'm proud to be here. Juventus are a reality in Italy and all over the World.
"I need to do more here than I've done up until now.â€
Asamoah becomes the second Ghanaian to play for Juventus following former Ghana captain Stephen Appiah.
The club's impressive off-season activities is a clear indication of their intention to retain the Scudetto this term while mounting a serious challenge in the next Uefa Champions League.

coconutman says:July 14, 2012 06:26 amK Asamoh I have admired and loved your game ever since I saw you play in the world cup. I admired you more when you gave up the 10 to Dede. You knew your quality and you believed in yourself. Your game is fine just do what you have been doing. Play because you enjoy and love the game. Do not try to notch up your game because you have a bigger contract with Juve. Play like you did when you were at Udinese. Remember they signed you up just the way you were so do not try to change to please anyone or else you will lose yourself and that will be a tragedy for those of us who enjoy watching you play.
Stephen says:July 14, 2012 06:52 amSensible advice Coconutman, I only wish Kojo Asamoah could read your comment.

Aquila Sees Better Farmland Returns in U.S. Plains Than Midwest
Farmland prices in the U.S. Midwest corn belt could be a "bubble," while growing areas in the Great Plains and Mississippi River Delta provide better returns, said Detlef Schoen, managing partner at Aquila Capital.
New seed varieties and warmer temperatures are allowing farmers to plant corn and soybeans in "peripheral" areas in North America, including regions further north and west of the Midwest, Hamburg-based Schoen said today in an interview at an agriculture conference in London. The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates that domestic producers will harvest a record 14.79 billion bushels of corn this year.
"The corn belt and soybean belt are moving north at incredible speeds, moving into the Great Plains, into Nebraska, Montana and the Dakotas," said Schoen, who helps manage about 5 billion euros ($6.24 billion) in assets for Aquila, including about 200 million euros related to agriculture. "In five years I think you'll have more soybeans in that country, where today you just have sunflowers and wheat, so that will lift your returns per acre enormously."
Farmers in a five-state region of the Midwest saw a 19 percent increase in land prices as of April 1 from a year earlier, the Chicago Federal Reserve bank said in a report last month. Prices jumped 27 percent in Iowa, the biggest corn and soybean producer. Great Plains states posted a 25 percent increase in farmland prices, according to the Kansas City Fed.
"The corn belt is a bubble, but you can go to the Great Plains, you can go to the Mississippi Delta and you can find some fantastic opportunities," Schoen said.

Repo Market Contracts as Dealers Face More Capital Requirements
The market for borrowing and lending U.S. government debt, after shrinking 31 percent in the past five years, risks contracting further as global regulators consider raising capital and leverage standards for banks.
The 21 primary dealers that trade with the Federal Reserve averaged $2.71 trillion a day in repurchase agreements last month, down from a peak of $4.28 trillion in the first quarter of 2008, according to Fed data compiled by the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association. Combined with reverse repurchase agreements, the average was $4.82 trillion, down from $7.02 trillion in the first three months of 2008.
U.S. regulators on July 7 proposed ordering eight of the largest lenders to hold capital equivalent to 5 percent of assets at their parent companies and 6 percent at their banking units, surpassing the 3 percent global minimum that the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision approved to help prevent another financial crisis. In a repo, a dealer provides securities as collateral to another in exchange for cash; in a reverse repo, the opposite takes place.
"'The proposals for higher capital and lower leverage won't eliminate repo, but are factors that will squeeze it," Alex Roever, head of short-term fixed-income strategy at JPMorgan Chase & Co. in Chicago, said in a July 23 telephone interview. "If you are thinking about dealers providing liquidity to the bond market, then anything that weighs on repo market is another limiting factor. We already have dealers who are constrained as far as using their balance sheet to provide liquidity to the market."
Leverage Ratios
The push for larger capital cushions and less leverage for U.S. lenders was followed last week by a proposal from European regulators for an enhanced leverage ratio to measure equity to total assets, eschewing formulas that let banks hold less capital for assets deemed less risky. If the proposals are incorporated into U.S. regulations, it could cause derivatives, securities financing transactions and other off-balance-sheet items to be counted as assets in the leverage ratios, making repo activity less appealing.
The Basel Committee proposals would disallow the current practice of banks netting repos against reverse repos, causing banks' leverage exposure levels to rise and triggering needs to cut repo activity. The Basel III requirements for securities financing transaction would cause repos, reverse repos, margin and securities lending and borrowing transaction to be reported on a gross basis, with no provision to net exposure.
Average Rate
Reduced dealer activity in the repurchase-agreement market has been a contributing factor in driving repo rates down over the past year, according to Roever.
The average rate for borrowing and lending Treasuries for one day in the repo market was 0.046 percent yesterday and has averaged 0.12 percent this year, according to a GCF repo index provided on a one-day lag by the Depository Trust & Clearing Corp. That compares with a 0.157 percent average over the past three years. The overnight Treasury general collateral repurchase agreement rate opened yesterday at 0.07 percent, according to ICAP Plc, the world's largest inter-dealer broker.
In a general collateral repo transaction, the lender of funds is willing to accept a variety of Treasury, mortgage-backed securities or agency collateral.
Market Volatility
"Liquidity in fixed-income markets could be impaired and trading volumes would likely fall, particularly for Treasuries and other low-return-on-asset businesses" if the stronger Basel III rules are implemented in the U.S., wrote Brian Smedley, an interest-rate strategist in New York at Bank of America Corp., in a note published on July 19. "Market volatility would likely be amplified by the new rules, if and when they take effect, as the reduced elasticity of bank balance sheets will constrain their ability to provide liquidity to clients during periods of financial stress. We would also expect bid-ask spreads to widen and hedging costs to rise," he wrote.
In a repurchase agreement, one party provides cash to another in exchange for a security, and vice versa. Repos are typically used to finance holdings, meaning movements in the rates affect the cost of holding the securities in inventory. The Fed uses the agreements to meet its target interest rate for overnight loans between banks.
Collateral Netting
Volatility in Treasuries as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Move index surged to 117.89 on July 5, the highest since December 2010. The gauge, which measures volatility based on prices of over-the-counter options on Treasuries maturing in two to 30 years, has averaged 64.8 over the last year.
Banks have been focused on increasing their highest-quality capital since 2007 to shore up balance sheets after the global financial crisis and to meet tougher rules. The focus on leverage is the latest effort by financial watchdogs to prevent a repeat of the taxpayer-funded bank rescues of 2008.
The most significant impact if the enhanced Basel III regulations are implemented by U.S. regulators would to the repo markets, according to JPMorgan, due to the provision disallow the netting of collateral.
All of "these regulations will affect the repo market as it essentially changes the entire perspective that you approach your bank balance sheet," Andrew Hollenhorst, fixed-income strategist at Citigroup Inc. in New York, said in a July 23 telephone interview. "With the new supplementary leverage ratio is doing is forcing you to look at our balance sheet from the perspective of return on total assets given it doesn't apply any risk weighting. So some of the assets that might have made sense before, such as repo, might not make sense anymore."

Building site safety concerns after recent inspections
Poor safety conditions on building sites hit the headlines again this week, as more than a quarter of the construction sites visited by Health and Safety Executive inspectors in Greater Manchester failed safety inspections.
During two days of site visits, HSE inspectors carried out checks at 163 construction sites across the Manchester, Salford and Trafford area. A total of 56 enforcement notices were issued at 42 sites, either stopping work immediately or requiring improvements to be made. Some of the construction companies affected may also face being prosecuted.
"Apparently, nearly half of the enforcement notices concerned unsafe work being carried out at height," said Karl Tonks, a work accident specialist with Fentons Solicitors LLP. "Some of the other issues included dust, unsafe electrics and the general state of sites.
"It's very disappointing that such a large number of sites were operating in this way," said Karl. "Only recently, the HSE launched a campaign to improve awareness of issues regarding working at height, and the construction industry as a whole has long been a target of safety campaigns.
"I'm shocked that such a high percentage of the sites inspected fell below required safety standards, and I hope others view this as a wake-up call to start paying more attention to the issue."

Christ in the Passover
"The Last Supper", that famous painting by Leonardo Da Vinci, shows Christ and the disciples eating a meal at a long table in straight-backed chairs. But most Christians aren't aware that they didn't just sit down and have a supper. Oh no! This was a Seder. Our Jewish friends could tell us a thing or two about Seders. This was a specialized ritual meal, eaten every year at Passover, commemorating the exodus from Egypt. A lot of Christians don't even know that their communion "bread and wine" came right from this Seder's observance. And another thing: those disciples? They didn't sit on straight-backed chairs, either. This Thursday night, we'll look at what actually happened at that "Last Supper". It's a fascinating slice of history and culture that few realize.

Obama orders review of airline safety, officials acknowledge failuresPosted: Updated:
HONOLULU -- President Barack Obama has ordered a review of how U.S. intelligence organizations keep the skies safe and the shortcomings demonstrated by the failed Christmas Day attack on a Detroit-bound flight from Amsterdam.
White House officials acknowledge the incident involving a 23-year-old Nigerian with alleged ties to terrorists has made clear there are plenty of failures to examine. The suspect was on one advisory list, but Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab never caught the attention of U.S. counter terrorist screeners, despite his father's warning to U.S. Embassy officials in Nigeria last month.
Obama has also ordered Homeland Security to conduct a separate review of security procedures air travelers go through. Officials says that probe centers on how Abdulmutallab was able to get aboard a U.S.-bound plane with materials that might have brought it down.
Obama calls the man's action an "attempted act of terrorism" and yesterday vowed to "do everything" possible to keep America safe."

SimCity's persistent Internet connection has been that it's absolutely required for the core game to function, a report from Rock, Paper, Shotgun claims that is not the case. An inside source who asked to remain anonymous told RPS the online servers are "not handling any of the computation done to simulate the city you are playing."
According to the source, the servers are coordinating social messages between cities in a region, as well as "cloud storage of save games, interfacing with Origin, and all of that. But for the game itself? No, they're not doing anything."
Even when the servers go down, certain cities have stayed online and playable for a period of time, suggesting off-site computation is not entangled in the main gameplay loop. The RPS source claims servers are also being used to repeatedly check for instances of hacking and cheating – and the game's verification messages to servers are creating queues and hampering responsiveness.
Finally, the source casts doubt on EA's claims that a single-player version of this SimCity would be impossible to produce. "It wouldn't take very much engineering to give you a limited single-player game without all the nifty region stuff." EA's current public reasoning about why the game needs to stay online has done little to quell frustration voiced over the game's tremendous launch issues.
Joystiq has contacted EA for comment regarding the source's claims.

It's official: the elitist art world has bowed to the pressure of a global phenomenon. No longer will random amateur snapshots be confined (if that's not too much of an oxymoron in this context) to the likes of YouTube, MySpace and weblogs worldwide. London's contemporary art behemoth, Tate Modern, is sponsoring a photographic exhibition to which amateurs like me - whose digital holiday snaps are so incompetent, they're rarely worth even downloading - are actively encouraged to contribute.
So, on a baking weekend in central London as part of a four-strong team of strangers with a borrowed camera, I raced against the clock Challenge Anneka-style in search of an Einstein lookalike to photograph. (We were turned down three times, perhaps understandably in the case of our third attempt - seeing as he was black, and with a lot less white hair than was ideal for our purposes).
The event was called ShootLondon, a new annual competition dubbed by its organisers "London's hippest treasure hunt". And "Find Albert's doppelganger" was by far the easiest of the 10 challenges (seven of which were landmark-specific) that we, along with 54 other teams of varying ages, professions and camera proficiency, were on a mission to complete by 6pm. The concept - dreamed up by a multimedia company in east London - was simply to get people to look at their surroundings in a different light.
As we hared down the South Bank back to the Tate, minutes from our 6pm deadline, I was still clutching the melting ice-cream we had just used in our attempt to respond to the clue: "London's central artery stretches over 200 miles and was once the home to numerous ice fairs". Despite Googling, we had failed to locate the Elizabethans' preferred skating stretch of the Thames and settled for an abstract interpretation: our riverside ice-cream had a speech bubble reading, "Can I go on the big wheel, Dad?" "It might win the 'wittiest photo' category," I suggested hopefully. My team-mates were less optimistic.
Our treasure hunt also took us to Vauxhall, to photograph its futuristic new bus station; to Covent Garden, for a furtive shot of ourselves on skateboards while the shop assistants weren't looking; and to Bloomsbury, where we borrowed shears from the a tool shop as "hilarious" props to suggest an attempt to cause a power cut ... until the shop owner said, "Funny, that. You're the third group of people to ask for those."
Finally, it was back to the Tate for a screen-projected slide-show of everyone's efforts. The quality was patchy - but the winning shot of Vauxhall bus station used clever angles and shadows (no PhotoShopping allowed) to make the image's subject appear to be skiing off the end of the roof.
So is this democratisation of the world the shape of things to come in our galleries? Last year's holiday snapshots micro-show at the Hayward hints that a trend is in the making. So if the National ever plans a "portraits of Einstein lookalikes" show, they know where to come.

We wake at 8:45 for breakfast. Breakfast room gets crowded up. Will miss the fiestily efficient breakfast lady. Too scared to snap a pic though. J
We go back to room to finish packing. Come down at 10:15 to checkout. Very quick. And our cab driver is waiting for us. Our cab has leather cushioned ceiling.
Wow. It's 75k won since I will pay by credit card. Thank goodness they take them.
Cab ride is nice. A bit hot. OL suggests i say something to cab driver. But the guidebooks all say cab drivers don't speak English. So I don't. Ofc, OL has to prove me wrong, so he asks the cab driver to turn up ac. After cab driver does it, OL goes see it pays to ask.
Anyway, cab ride is uneventful. Notice foggy/smog and increased humidity. Perfect time to leave. Upside, my cold seems to be improving. Downside heel crack keeps reopening as do cracks in corner of mouth.
We get to airport at 11:00. Air India check-in for our flight doesn't open until 11:45. We wait. I go pee. Bathrooms are immaculate. I love Seoul Incheon airport. Scope out place to exchange money. Go exchange money while OL waits for check-in to open.
Check-in goes smoothly. People respect the queue here. We are asked to wait 5 minutes for bags to clear. While waiting someone with questionnaire asks where we are from I say America. She walks away.
Another girl comes by later. OL makes mistake of saying Austria. She asks him to fill out tourist questionnaire. I don't mind until he starts filling it out. It's seven damn pages long. This is reediculous. One page is okay. Two is pushing it. Seven you're a nutcase.
People queue up properly again. We go to security. I take off sneakers. Security person tells me to put them back on. Shit. Double knotted. I say that will take a couple minutes and untie and loosen and slide feet in. Then go through security. No wanding necessary.
Meet OL in customs line. Very quickly go through. I see a cultural center/gift shop. We go in. Everything is 100k won $100US) and up. Ouch. Continue onward and I see a souvenir shop and drag OL over. It takes credit cards and is in US denominations. Great. We find a peacock mother of pearl box and I buy it for $45.
Then I get a Starbucks sandwich ham and moz cheese. OL says there will be food on plane. Something tells me to eat lunch anyway.
We then head to the train to our concourse gate 126. Everyone is rushing off the escalator to catch the train. I can't be bothered to run. Plus it's super crowded since the train didn't pull up and the first car is 100-200 feet behind the escalator I just got off.
We wait for next one. It runs every 5 mins. Luckily, I realize the sign says train other side and we rush across to catch the train.
Our concourse requires 3 escalators to main level. But it has a freaking museum in it. Wow. So lovely.
We go to gate 126. I stop and buy us water on the way.
Then i sit down and eat my lunch.
Those are olives in the bread. Sandwich has a bit of spicy in it. Ofc Korea. I also have some crackers and some cookies. Then I go down the terminal a bit and find a dunkin donuts where I get a mocha coffee roll. Yummie.
Satiated. Wait for plane to board. It boards at 1:30. Very orderly boarding. Nice. Except as we get to plane our bags are searched again. And our water bottles are confiscated. Wtf?! OL's isn't even open. He says I just bought it here. Guy asks for receipt. Why the hell would I save a 2$ receipt for water unless told to do so. This is really extreme. Especially since I'm sick and dehydrate super easily. Fuckingstupid.
And if this is a new requirement they should tell people when they buy the fucking water to keep the fucking receipt. Absolutely tyrannical. What does this do? what does this prevent? Absolutely nothing.
Anyway, we board plane, and the faint scent of curry wafts over us. The seats are very wide and comfy in economy. The floor is carpeted. My tv Ofc is not working. I figure it's good time to catch up on blog and reading.
Four Cantonese speakers are across the aisle from me. Two thought they were training for gymnastics from the way they climbed on their seats to load over 8 bags into overhead compartment. Redick.
They also talked incessantly while we waited to take off. Ugh.
It's 3:20 and all they have served is black pepper peanuts and one cup of water. Guess we aren't getting lunch. Maybe dinner later.
They fed us lunch at 4. We had chicken curry with green beans and basmati rice. Yummie. But lips burning. Yogurt cooled mouth down. Then roll. OL's roll. And some rice pudding thing.
Lips split again. I can't believe they confiscated my water. Wth?!
My tv never worked. Read a lot. Blogged.
Then the flight attendants hand out our arrival and departure cards. Dumbass gave me a daparture card when I'm arriving in HK. I have to ask twice for the arrival card before I am given one. Jesus. And the male flight attendants were so rude.
Arrived and those who stayed on plane went onward to Delhi. We got off. Walked through temperature scanners. We were okay. Then immigration. Long line.two agents.ugh. Guy in front of me chats me up. He came from Seoul too. Spending a semester abroad in HK. Studying finance. We all agree immigration better in Seoul. Nicer and faster.
OL and I get through immigration and get our bags.
Have disagreement and then find kiosk for hotel shuttle bus. Half hour wait for shuttle. Loads our suitcases into front seats of shuttle van. Ride takes 1 HR to hotel.
Raining. 35 Celsius and humid. Dropped off at hotel. Nice looking but far away from city.
Check in goes quick at the Harbour Plaza Resort City. Get smallest room on15th floor. Corner room with extra windows but tiny.
The bathroom is pretty tight quarters too.
This bothers me because all reviews for the hotel talk about the huge rooms for Hong Kong and this is smaller than the room we had in WanChai at the Cosmopolitan which is located right in the center of Hong Kong. And we are an hour from Hong Kong Island and 45 minutes from Kowloon. In the boondocks f Hong Kong.
At least the room is non smoking. Thank goodness.
King size bed dominates the room. We barely have room to move around. Ugh.

I also had a delish coconut drink with tapioca balls
Walk around, clown around in mall. Get more socks. Then head back to hotel. Email in lobby on free wifi and exhausted.

The spring warm-up is a mixed blessing for millions of Canadians who suffer from seasonal allergies.
Because of long, frigid winter, the sniffling and sneezing, brought on by pollen floating in the air, is expected to start in Ontario later than usual this year, experts say.
To help allergy sufferers prepare for the onslaught, CBC Hamilton is hosting an interactive audio live chat on Monday at noon ET with Dr. Susan Waserman, a professor in the division of clinical immunology in McMaster University's department of medicine. Our host will be reporter Adam Carter (whose allergies include pollen and cats, in case you were wondering).
An allergy expert, Waserman says Ontario may be spared the continent-wide "Pollen Vortex" that some commentators are expecting, but she says the season will come on quickly.
During the live chat, she will answer your questions and give tips on how to minimize the allergy-season misery.

I'm not impressed with the method by which they presented their product.
The shooter wasn't wearing any form of body armour, kevlar head protection or eye-wear. The eejit behind the glass likewise no body armour.
I understand the purpose behind the presentation of the product but I still think it was a fucking stupid demonstration. There were so many things which could have happened besides someone being shot - most likely fatally.

Hot Coffee: Is Justice Being Served? 86-min. and 50-min. versions. w/discussion guide. Dist. by Bullfrog Films. 2011, released in 2013. $350. ISBN 1937772926.
Gr 9 Up–The case of the lady burned by McDonald's coffee is often held up as a textbook example of a frivolous lawsuit. Using this incident and others, Susan Saladoff examines the rise of big business' influence in court cases, often under the banner of tort reform. Originally shown on HBO and at the Sundance Film Festival, the 86-minute version features four examples where plaintiffs are trounced by big business interests. Along with Stella Liebeck (the woman burned by the coffee), the Gourleys have a disabled son, Judge Oliver Diaz was politically targeted for his judicial decisions, and Jamie Leigh Jones was raped on a job site in Iraq. Hot Coffee does an excellent job presenting their stories. There are also particularly strong women spokespeople and role models. The 50-minute version highlights two cases: Liebeck's and the Gourleys's. Both would spark class discussion. The two versions include modestly draped and graphic photos of Liebeck's burned thighs, and the longer version also includes a few frank statements about the rape. The discussion guide questions are generally sophisticated, and some require further reading to fully explore; A further reading list is included. (Opposing views from the US Chamber of Commerce, American Tort Reform Association, and Citizens Against Lawsuit Abuse are widely available on the web.) A good choice for constitutional law or pre-law classes. This film would capture the interest of most students.–Maggie Knapp, Trinity Valley School, Fort Worth, TX

Yup, you read that title right. Introducing the new line of Cracker Jack's: Cracker Jack'd.
Cracker Jack's have been known for their super delicious, and sometimes super sticky popcorn, often found in easy-to-hold cardboard boxes. The best part of this sweet and salty snack is of course, the prize inside.
But pretty soon Cracker Jack boxes are going to be filled with a bit more than just a "prize inside"; it's going to contain caffeine. I know, sounds crazy…
Yet what's really crazy is the fact that the The Center for Science in the Public Interest has claimed that this snack violates federal food laws. The CSPI has sent an letter to the FDA, complaining about the snack and the health issues they think comes with it.
Stated in The Daily News, Michael F. Jacobson, the director of the CSPI says "The way things are going, I fear that we'll see caffeine, or coffee, being added to ever-more improbable drinks and snacks, putting children, unsuspecting pregnant women and others at risk. How soon before we have caffeinated burgers, burritos or breakfast cereals?"
In the Time article (linked in the second paragraph), the CSPI point out that "each package of 'Cracker Jack'd' could contain the same amount of caffeine as a six-ounce cup of coffee," which violates the FDA law for the amount of caffeine allowed in a product.
Also reported in the Time article, "two of the new Cracker Jack'd flavors, dubbed Power Bites, are made with coffee — "a natural source of caffeine." And that 'the Frito-Lay spokesman, however, told Ad Age that the Cracker Jack'd line was developed exclusively for adults and is not marketed to children.' He added that the presence of coffee is marked clearly on the packaging.
What do you think about this caffeinated concoction? Should it be allowed on shelves for anyone to buy? Or should this product be outed altogether?

The Cincinnati Reds are still treading water in the tough NL Central; they sit in fourth place at 8-12 having lost series to the Cubs and Brewers last week. Our friend Corey Patterson is doing much worse, having gone hitless since our last update. Let's go game-by-game and see what's what:
Game 14: Led off, 0-for-4 with a strikeout.
Game 15: Led off, 0-for-4 with a walk.
Game 16: Didn't start against lefty Ted Lilly, popped out while pinch-hitting.
Game 17: Didn't start against righty Ben Sheets, pinch hit in the eighth inning and flied out with the bases loaded.
Game 18: Led off, 0-for-4.
Game 19: Led off, 0-for-3 with two walks and a strikeout.
Game 20: Didn't start against righty Brad Penny, grounded out while pinch-hitting.
Damn, he's not even starting against certain right-handed pitching now. Patterson went 0-for-17 with three walks on the week; this drops his OBP to .254. His once mighty .703 slugging percentage is now down to .467, still the fifth best among NL center fielders. Dusty, if you are going to start him (and I still think he should be playing most days), MOVE HIM DOWN IN THE LINEUP!

There are many reasons you should never consider cycling as a desirable pursuit. Chief among them, besides the fact that it earns you the admiration of the French, is that the sports inflicts a hefty toll on your man regions. Hoping to counteract that, a pharmaceutical scientist designed for cyclist Dave Zabriskie a balm "to reduce and relieve chafing, irritation, and protect fragile perineal skin".
Then he got a 13-year-old (or Dr. Dre) to name the stuff.
Marketed with an entreaty to "protect your junk," dznuts spokesscrotum Zabriskie describes its necessity thusly:
"Proper MAINTAINTANANCE of the perineal area is essential during high level training and racing. Nothing can ruin stage race success faster than an infected saddle sore."
Get it!? Because the perineum is the taint. Or grundel, depending on your preference in slang terms for the area between your balls and your ass crack. So, yeah, buy the stuff or you'll be DISGRUNDELED! HEY-O!!! Hey marketing department, there's a freebee! Next one's $100.

As reported this morning, Kevin Frandsen was recalled from Triple-A Fresno as Juan Uribe went on the family-emergency list. Uribe will fly to the Dominican Republic to see his ailing grandfather. Players on that list must miss between three and seven days.
Frandsen arrived just in time to start on national television at shortstop and bat second. His keystone mate will be Eugenio Velez. Manager Bruce Bochy said Saturday he planned to rest Emmanuel Burriss.
Frandsen did not seem keen about discussing his feelings about his demotion at the end of spring training.
"Maybe that day I didn't handle it the best way by not talking," he said. "I probably wouldn't have done any justice to myself if I had said anything."
Frandsen most played short and batted near the top of the order in Fresno. He said his time their was more bearable because the Grizzlies were winning.
Fred Lewis also will rest today, with Nate Schierholtz starting in his place.

The Axis 2100 Network Camera
Images can be viewed straight through a customized web page or by uploading them to a remote FTP server. I didn't use the latter, but it can be configured to alert you, via e-mail, when a new image has been uploaded. Setting the camera to upload an image every five minutes could work nicely for home or office security. An adaptor on the back of the camera allows for hook up to devices such as motion detectors and doorbells.
All camera configuration is web-based, by using the "Installation Wizards" and the "Application Tools". These are presented in GUI form and are used to define the system, set security preferences and tweak image and layout settings. Simply click on either link, which conveniently sit just to the right of the image(s) being displayed. The "Application Tools" allow you to modify anything from image resolution, to color, time, background color, image title and so on. The "Installation Wizards" is nicely organized into the following sections: security, date and time, image settings, focus, modem or network and TCP/IP. You are also given the option of uploading images to an FTP site.
By default, the camera is set to allow anyone access. This can be changed by registering the camera to a single user. That single user is then given the ability to set security permissions to individual users—requiring a user name and password for access. Similar to most Linux systems.
The 2100 has telnet turned off but does run an FTP daemon. To log into the camera, I FTP'd to the IP address of "my" camera's web page, then logged in as root, using "pass" for the password. Doing this allowed me to root through /proc files (see Listings 1 and 2). This is also the method for downloading upgrades to the camera, or uploading code, which is the coolest thing about this camera. Unlike most appliances running embedded Linux, you can go in and change things, if you are so inclined. As Jon Corbet writes (see Resources), "Axis makes available everything that is needed to do this: versions of the compiler and libraries (licensed under the GPL) are at the Axis developer site. It's mostly a matter of cross-compiling the code and FTPing into the camera."
There is a Linux port running on the Etrax 100. Axis ported Linux to their products in December 1997 (kernel 2.0.33) This port, along with their developers not wanting to spend time developing a new OS, made Linux an obvious choice to run the 2100 web camera. The source code to the Linux port is licensed under the GPL and can be downloaded from the Axis site. Here's the hardware, as listed in the user's guide:
ARPTEC-1 compression chip; ETRAX-100
32-bit RISC
The camera specifications, for those of you in the know:
Digital, 24-bit color
Image pickup device: 1/4'' inch HAD RGB progressive scan CCD
HxV: 659x494
Backlight Compensation
Automatic AGC
White balance: automatic, fixed indoor, fixed fluorescent, fixed outdoor and hold
Electronic shutter: 1/30s - 1/30000s, light condition adaptive
High bandwidth is the place to start. If you plan to transfer files from the camera over the Internet, a DSL (or equivalent) connection is the way to go. To view images, Axis recommends a "PC, ideally Pentium 300 or higher, with a high-speed graphics card and 100MB Ethernet network card". The only software necessary is TCP/IP and either Netscape Navigator (their recommendation) or Internet Explorer. You will also need an IP address, Ethernet cable(s) and a network hub.
The 2100 network camera seems solid, as does the company producing it. Axis has been around since 1984. Headquartered in Lund, Sweden, they have more than 500 employees working at 28 offices worldwide. There Etrax-100 chip is a product in its own right and is used in numerous Axis products, ranging from cameras to print servers. Any product that can work with Linux, does. Axis makes source codes available on their developer site. This includes the code to their own Journaling Flash File System (JFFS), which the Axis site says is "aimed at providing a crash/powerdown-safe file system for disk-less embedded devices". It allows the camera to be turned off and on without having to reboot—providing the necessary "always on" functionality.
I have spent the past week toying around with the camera, and I am still excited about it. I want one. Though it is designed for indoor use only, it does well with that. Images are crisp and quick. This is embedded Linux in action and the results are exciting. It's a Sunday, and I'm at work, playing with the camera. That should speak volumes.

Great Review!
Hi Jason,
That was a great review for the Axis 2100 Camera. I wanted to let everyone know that I have created a website specifically for network camera reviews. It is located at www.networkcamerareviews.com. It offers reviews, ratings, articles and forums to help users learn and troubleshoot their network camera.
Once again this was a great review. :)
what do you people think this is, technical support? this is an informative review written to provide, from one person's perspective, an un-biased report on a product. this isn't a support page.....
anyways, enough of that......a well written article Jason, thanks for the straight forward info. your information provided has helped me make a final decision on a camera to purchase. i thank you for your effort and time in writing this article/playing with a cool device. }:)
Re: wtf?
very nice outdoor cam
Nice but...
They're VERY expensive, the cheapest model is about $1K US compared to about $300 for the Axis 2100.
4XEM 2100 comparable to Axis 2100
I wanted to buy an Axis Communications 2100 Network Camera but found out they are disco'd. After searching PC Connection I found the 4XEM W-2100 and lower than $300. I guess this is a new camera they just released but it is comparable to the 2100 by Axis with a few added features.
So far it is working great. I got it up and running fairly easy and got it working online so I can view it from wherever I am. I even figured out how to view snapshots on my cell phone, which I thought that was cool.
Compared to the Axis 2100, I think this camera beats the Axis version because of all the additional features and better quality image. Some of these features included a max resolution of 704 x 480 pixels where the Axis 2100 has 640 x 480, a higher frames per second of 30fps where the Axis camera had 10fps, better light sensitivity, motion detection (which I got working to ftp so I can view on my cell phone), free software that you can run up to 4 cameras (which is great if I ever want to get more, we will see ;)) and its a heck of a lot cheaper than the Axis 2100 - especially with the free software included which Axis doesn't include.
As for the camera itself, it has a great image quality and an easy to use interface. Getting it working online with FTP was even a breeze. Also another good selling point for me was the free software included. It allowed you to use up to 4 cameras.
The only downside of this camera I found is that it has no audio. I guess the Axis 2100 had an add-on you can get but it looked to be a bit expensive.
All-in-all, network cameras are really cool and I would highly suggest the W-2100 by 4XEM. About a week ago I know anything about them and thought they would be really confusing to get running. But after talking to the 4XEM support staff they helped me understand how network cameras work and what features to look for when purchasing them.
IP Camera Purchase
I ended up buying one of these cameras as well. It works great for users viewing the camera in Internet Explorer and FireFox. I found a great resource for information about these cameras. The website was NetworkCameraReviews.com. They have a forums that helped me connect the camera to my network.
Where to Buy
That is a good site. Another good one is Network Camera Store. They list locations to purchase these cameras so you can find the best price.
Another Good Online Store
We have purchased multiple IP cameras from Network Webcams. They also have a store located in the UK.
Re: Product Review: The Axis 2100 Network Camera
I really appreciated your review, especially about the "obvious" things to be aware of such as a RJ45 that really worked. Your descriptions were clear and useful.
I almost wish you would have made more mistakes so I could learn more from your article. I am trying to run my camera from behind a linksys router, and tough the flashing green light suggests I am connected, I cannot view a picture for the life of me (yet.) email@example.com 954-772-8776
thanks again for your article 1/30/02
Re: Product Review: The Axis 2100 Network Camera
John, if you have NAT gateway in your router, you need to address the cameras with your external IP address (given to you by your ISP) and not the internal (192.168.x.x). The way to do this is to assign a port number to the camera, such as 81 (done in the network setup of the camera) and use that to address the camera from outside the router. For instance 126.96.36.199:81.
If you dont' have a fix external IP address you need to do some DNS-tricks, contact the cool Axis-guys at firstname.lastname@example.com and they will help you out.
Re: Product Review: The Axis 2100 Network Camera
I am testing them for a larger application, but I have two running behind a netgear router. I allowed DHCP to assign it an IP addie and check the DHCP table in the routers' menu. I typed in the IP and no problem it was up and running.
good luck

Dear Mr. Schumaker,
I would appreciate it if you could advise me.
Less than a year ago, I bought an ATI capture card (Radeon VIVO) and installed it on one of my computers. I also bought micro camera (resolution at least 400 lines, and luc .05). I was able to see live (no delay) images through the micro camera attached to the camera care.
I have an intranet at home, seven computers attached to Linksys 8-port router, using Windows 2000 Professional. Using Microsoft NetMeeting I was able to do video conferencing LIVE from one room to another room, using my home intranet. The images and sound are live (no delay). I could see my three year old daughter singing in the other room, and she got a kick out of it.
But later, I could not make NetMeeting work anymore. I learnt from ATI that Microsoft has changed the format and that is why I could no longer use NetMeeting for video conferencing. I do not remember details regarding name and nature of the format.
It was so good. Do you have any suggestion how I can do video conferencing using NetMeeting or any other similar software.
The video servers and web camers do not have the flexibility that I was able to do, and my way was so cheap.
I would appreciate if you have any suggestions.

What percentage of the workers will be Alaskans? Where do Alaskans apply for work? What percentage of the profits will go to Alaskans? Why are United States citizens are treated like criminals at Canadian border and the Canadians get the riches of Alaska? And why can't Alaskans do it as well or better than the Canadians?

SummaryThe best racing game
The GoodSimulation mode. I liked being able to select from a huge variety of cars, including a whole lot of used cars. The game play was far above anything else I had ever played. You actually had to control your car around the track instead racing on tracks that seemed to turn for you as in most earlier games. Suping up a car to over 900hp was great! Topping out at 240'ish mph seemed pretty realistic (not that I've ever been near that fast on the ground!) The courses were challenging. The licensing was a great idea. I thought it was hilarious just trying to do the start and stop part. Using music from real bands was great.
The BadThe AI of the competing cars was dumb, I wanted more aggressive driving on their part. If I hit them then they should hit me back! No damage. No tire wear. The graphics were accurate...but very grainy. Even when the game first came out I remember thinking that it was hard on the eyes...at first anyway. All of the emphasis of upgrades was focused on the foreign cars. Domestic, large displacement cars did not upgrade well. Because of the limited space on the CD, the music becomes repetative, as do the squeeling tires around every turn.

There's a whole lot more to Woody Guthrie than This Land Is Your Land, is what we're saying.
Here, two
important new albums that offer families a new twist on some familiar tunes. We
know that you will dig these CDs as much as we do.
First up is the talented Elizabeth Mitchell,
a longtime CMP and family fave. She (along with her wonderful husband
and daughter) spins Guthrie's tunes with her melodious voice and the
result is sheer delight all around. Her album, The Little Seed: Songs for Children by Woody Guthrie,
feels like a tribute album to an old friend. It's clear that Elizabeth
is passionate about Woody Guthrie's music and how it helped shape her as
an artist. I think Who's My Pretty Baby may my favorite Elizabeth Mitchell song ever.
Get a sneak peek on Amazon and see for yourself just how fun it is, because the bands are all so different. Frances England nails Bling Blang and The Okee Dokee Brothers hit Do Re Mi perfectly. The coolest part? All net proceeds go straight to the Woody Guthrie Foundation.
of these CDs will make great presents (for kids or for your favorite folksy grownups) because
they're perfect for spinning in the minivan, with or without kids in the
back seat. -Eva

But now she's back—and her return had nothing to do with Riley. In fact, Abby's hoping she won't run into him before she returns to Boston and her busy law practice.
Fat chance! Because Riley's moved into the house next door.

Happy Days Are Hair Again! (aka Hair I Come)
More earth shattering than an AIDS vaccine... scientists have found a way to regrow hair on bald mice. Now mice no longer have the suffer the emasculating effects of being hairless, or comb their few tiny hairs over to the other side of their body to try and fool the other mice.
Could mankind be next?
I've long been at peace with and have embraced my baldness. But I have occasionally wondered, if a "cure" for baldness were to one day be found, would I go back?
I have far too much dignity for a hairpiece and too little money or interest for hair plugs. Further, hair regrowth products are expensive, using them requires discipline, and, often, if you quit using them you will lose what you rogained. Er, regained.
But the ability to regrow and keep actual hair? I don't know.
On the one hand, growing it back would give me more "look" options. I could still shave it off or let it grow out, as my interest dictated.
On the other hand, I'd have to start buying and using shampoo again. I have gotten used to much shorter showers (baldness is my contribution to preserving our natural resources). And there would be more to shave off, should I choose to do that.
Of course, it can take years for a scientific breakthrough to become a commercial product. So don't start lining up for treatment just yet, fellas. For now, we are all stuck with our "affliction." Oh, the pain, the pain.

A powerful soccer coach mustn't only have an indepth knowledge in everything about soccer. He must also possess particular features that will help him create a winning soccer team and become a great trainer. A successful soccer team doesn't only rely on the physical and technical requirements, but typically more than those. The soccer coach must acquire skills to execute them.
Here are 10 typical features that each Soccer Coaches must have.
1. Good Role Model
Every soccer team needs a trainer that is an excellent role model. You need to understand they want someone worth imitating. If you're willing to be the role model of your soccer team assess yourself. Put in mind that you are going to be their servant-leader and they are relying their success on you. You'd be teaching them positive approaches to win a match. It'd be a shame if you teach something you don't actually apply to yourself.
2. Admirable Appearance
Being a great soccer coach, you must never overlook the relevance of appearance. Be sure you look neat and tidy. Cleanliness could add up to your professional look and this can help you gain trust and respect of the team. Remember you will be the players' role model, their soccer coach.
3. Be Punctual
Always be early to arrive in the soccer training. This way, you can manage the training set up before the players arrive. It can concentrate on the training aims by starting in time during the sessions and will also help you to not waste your time. If you'll not be early, there will be large opportunities the soccer players will get bored or even be impatient because you are not being professional.
4. Good teacher
An effective soccer coach is a great teacher. Part of your obligation would be to teach them everything about football notably the fundamentals like passing, dribbling, shooting and tackling. You need to allow it to be certain yoursoccer Team is learning and growing their skills. Always remember to give correct and clear directions during the training sessions. You can't train the soccer players who do not have any knowledge about the do's and don'ts in soccer. In teaching soccer skills, exhibiting the drills is better than verbal directions.
5. Friendly
Create a great player-coach relationship with your soccer team by being friendly to them. By knowing their personal lifestyles and interests you must understand their characters. In this manner, you could analyze their mental and emotional features that are diverse and develop strategies that could prompt them more so. But be reminded, you can get personal but stay professional.
6. Good Listener
It's important to always seek the soccer team's engagement, and one manner of this is by requesting their views after every game. As the soccer coach, you must be a good listener because every person has his own amazing thoughts to share. Constantly encourage them to speak out and take what they say into consideration. Make notes if needed, and contain some recommendations in your soccer session strategy.
7. Great Communicator
It is important that a soccer coach understands the importance of communication. This includes recognizing the players' performances and accomplishments. Encourage them to do and commend them for a game nicely done. Be aware with using your words because a coach's words are strong and will bring a big impact to the team.
8. Development
Each soccer player's development is crucial. As role model and their coach, you must not only teach them social skills like discipline, patience, perseverance, and teamwork, but also soccer abilities that are fundamental. Consistently place as one of your aims the development of the team players.
9. Team Motivator
Always develop actions in the soccer training session that will help move each soccer player to do every game. Do not forget to remind them their goals and assignments on why they wanted to learn football and create a winning team. Words of means and support for development are very useful.
10. Aim-Centered
Whatever may occur, consistently look unto your soccer team's goal - Why you're working so hard, why the soccer players are determined to learn and follow every instructions, why their parents keep on supporting your team. You are doing your best to achieve that common goal. A successful soccer coach knows how to picture that target out to the players' heads.
If you can implement these 10 Soccer Coach must have's, then you might be the soccer players' favorite trainer ever. Always make sure you give them the chance to attain their full potentials. Soccer is one great pleasing game on earth, make sure you set that in their heads.

A miscue such as Kasey Kahne had in the pits could have been disastrous for some teams, but not for his Hendrick Motorsports team. Kahne dealt with a loose right front wheel on Lap 53 in Saturday night's NASCAR Sprint Cup Quaker State 400 at Kentucky Speedway, five circuits after pit stops during the first caution. "I'm coming," Kahne radioed to his team, at the time not knowing whether it was an engine issue or a problem with tires causing him trouble. Crew chief Kenny Francis later relayed the information that the problem for Kahne indeed had been a loose wheel. Although Kahne restarted 35th, one lap down, after pitting, by the restart on Lap 154 he had moved up to 21st. In 15 laps, Kahne was in the top 15 and kept digging. He pitted for gas for the last time on Lap 211 with 14 of the other lead-lap cars and restarted 12th for the final 47-lap shootout. While some drivers were conserving fuel, Kahne had the green light and began picking off opponents. He was sixth with 30 laps remaining and then passed Martin Truex Jr. in a hard battle for fifth place on Lap 255. Four laps later he overtook teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr. for fourth place, then he knocked off Carl Edwards for third on Lap 260. With Denny Hamlin in fuel-conservation mode, Kahne powered after the No. 11 Toyota and made the pass for second on Lap 263. But he had nothing for race-winner Brad Keselowski, who had a 4.333-second advantage at the end. Kahne says his car was "really good" throughout the whole race. That wasn't the case throughout the weekend. "Yesterday in practice I was worried, and Kenny Francis and (lead engineer) Keith Rodden made some really good adjustments," Kahne said. "We felt like our teammates were pretty good. So we looked at some of the things they were doing. And it's nice to have as good of teammates as we had. So we were able to put a nice package in the car and it worked really well. "We got a lap behind there with the loose right front, and then we had another slow stop later. The pit crew is really good at times and they're solid. We've got to keep working on it and got to be a little stronger throughout. But my car was fast. And I think the longer the run went, the better we seemed to get. The better I could move around on the racetrack anyways." Despite Kahne's fourth top-five finish of the season, he remains 14th in the points standings and second in the wild-card ranks. After seven consecutive top-10 finishes to start the year, Kahne suffered two accidents three of the races prior to Kentucky. For the Hendrick Motorsports newcomer, qualifying for the postseason is still a concern. "Top fives (are) good, probably not going to get us in the Chase (for the Sprint Cup)," said Kahne, whose only win came at Charlotte in May. "We need to win a race or two more to make the Chase."

Something to fix?] IJ: This is not a bug. The Process Document only talks about entrance criteria for phase transitions. You never ask the Director "Are we done with CR?", you ask the Director "Can I advance to PR?" One of the things the Director looks at is whether there is sufficient implementation experience for the specification. Since WGs can skip CR entirely with sufficient implementation experience (though maybe they shouldn't), then it makes more sense to talk about PR entrance criteria. I know people talk about "exit criteria" rather than entrance criteria, but that doesn't bother me. :) > > in PR, > ------------------------ > Entrance criteria.

American Energy, Imperiled Coast
Oil and Gas Development in Louisiana's Wetlands
Publication Year: 2014
In the post--World War II era, Louisiana's coastal wetlands underwent an industrial transformation that placed the region at the center of America's energy-producing corridor. By the twenty-first century the Louisiana Gulf Coast supplied nearly one-third of America's oil and gas, accounted for half of the country's refining capacity, and contributed billions of dollars to the U.S. economy. Today, thousands of miles of pipelines and related infrastructure link the state's coast to oil and gas consumers nationwide. During the course of this historic development, however, the dredging of pipeline canals accelerated coastal erosion. Currently, 80 percent of the United States' wetland loss occurs on Louisiana's coast despite the fact that the state is home to only 40 percent of the nation's wetland acreage, making evident the enormous unin-tended environmental cost associated with producing energy from the Gulf Coast.
In American Energy, Imperiled Coast Jason P. Theriot explores the tension between oil and gas development and the land-loss crisis in Louisiana. His book offers an engaging analysis of both the impressive, albeit ecologically destructive, engineering feats that characterized industrial growth in the region and the mounting environmental problems that threaten south Louisiana's communities, culture, and "working" coast. As a historian and coastal Louisiana native, Theriot explains how pipeline technology enabled the expansion of oil and gas delivery -- examining previously unseen photographs and company records -- and traces the industry's far-reaching environmental footprint in the wetlands. Through detailed research presented in a lively and accessible narrative, Theriot pieces together decades of political, economic, social, and cultural undertakings that clashed in the 1980s and 1990s, when local citizens, scientists, politicians, environmental groups, and oil and gas interests began fighting over the causes and consequences of coastal land loss. The mission to restore coastal Louisiana ultimately collided with the perceived economic necessity of expanding offshore oil and gas development at the turn of the twenty-first century. Theriot's book bridges the gap between these competing objectives.
From the discovery of oil and gas below the marshes around coastal salt domes in the 1920s and 1930s to the emergence of environmental sciences and policy reforms in the 1970s to the vast repercussions of the BP/Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010, American Energy, Imperiled Coast ultimately reveals that the natural and man-made forces responsible for rapid environmental change in Louisiana's wetlands over the past century can only be harnessed through collaboration between public and private entities.

Topeka The Kansas attorney general's office received a subpoena Tuesday for abortion records in connection with a grand jury investigation into allegations against Wichita abortion provider Dr. George Tiller.
Earlier in the day, the Kansas Supreme Court temporarily blocked the Sedgwick County grand jury's access to 2,000 patient records from Tiller.
But the grand jury also issued a subpoena for records from Tiller's office that were collected during an investigation by former Attorney General Phill Kline.
Ashley Anstaett, a spokeswoman for current Attorney General Stephen Six, said the office was "evaluating" how to respond to the subpoena.
Abortion opponents allege Tiller violated state law that restricts late-term abortion. Tiller has denied any wrongdoing.

SHANGHAI (Reuters) - Apple Inc said on Monday it will open its second retail store in Hong Kong on September 29, underscoring the massive demand for its products in Greater China.
The new store will be located in Festival Walk in Kowloon Tong, Apple said on its Hong Kong website.
Apple has five retail stores in China, the company's second-largest market, and plans to open flagship stores in the major Chinese cities of Chengdu and Shenzhen, according to government officials.
China is set to overtake the United States as the world's biggest smartphone market this year, with demand driven by generous handset subsidies offered by the three main carriers, increasingly tech-savvy consumers and more feature-packed and affordable products.
