ANT+ to lead the way in sports, fitness but Bluetooth Smart is biting on its heels
ANT+ and Bluetooth Smart are forecast to become the most utilized wireless technology in sports and fitness monitoring devices.
ANT+ and Bluetooth Smart are forecast to become the most utilized wireless technology in sports and fitness monitoring devices, according to a recent report from IMS Research, recently acquired by IHS Inc. The report, Wireless Opportunities in Health and Fitness Monitoring – 2012 Edition, projects that in the medium-term, ANT+ will have the highest adoption rate in sports and fitness monitoring devices. However, in 2016, the penetration rate of Bluetooth Smart in sports and fitness devices is forecast to overtake that of ANT+ with around 45% of wireless-enabled sports and fitness monitors forecast to use Bluetooth Smart.
ANT+ is already well established in the sports and fitness industry with sports manufacturers such as Adidas, Garmin and Suunto using the technology. Adidas recently released the latest addition to its miCoach range of monitoring devices, the Speedcell, which can be attached to the F50 football boot in order to collect information from the wearer such as speed, velocity and steps taken. Information can be uploaded via ANT+ to a range of ANT+ compliant devices.
Bluetooth Smart has only just begun to see uptake in sports and fitness devices, with Wahoo Fitness and Nike being the first to implement the technology. Other large companies such as Polar have also shown their intent to support the technology with a number of devices demonstrated at CES 2012.
Lisa Arrowsmith, senior analyst with IMS Research's Connectivity Group explains, "The rapid transition from 'classic' Bluetooth to Bluetooth Smart Ready (Bluetooth 4.0) in smart phones, combined with native support in Apple's iOS and the expected inclusion in the upcoming Microsoft Windows 8 platform, is set to drive more sports and fitness monitoring device OEMs to look to Bluetooth Smart to provide connectivity with consumer devices. As a result, Bluetooth Smart is expected to be the most utilized wireless technology in sports and fitness devices shipped in 2016."
Arrowsmith continues, "ANT+ has seen some adoption in cellular handsets, from companies such as Sony Ericsson (which has 15 models supporting ANT) and HTC (which has one model supporting ANT). However, in the coming years Bluetooth Smart-Ready is set to show higher adoption in cellular handsets as a rapid transition from 'classic' Bluetooth to Bluetooth Smart Ready occurs."
Due to the move towards standardized solutions, technologies such as 5 kHz, which is currently the most adopted technology in heart rate monitors, and proprietary technologies such as Nike+, which is based on ANT, are less likely to be used. Nike has demonstrated its Nike Fuel band as well as a range of new Nike+ devices which utilize Bluetooth Smart, signaling support for the technology. In general, proprietary technology will be less utilized in the future as smartphones are increasingly used as a "hub" for sports and fitness devices. In addition to this, standardized technology gives consumers the ability to "mix-and-match" sports and fitness devices in order to produce the monitoring system that works best for them, without being tied to a manufacturer.
IMS Research's latest report, Wireless Opportunities in Sports and Fitness Monitoring – 2012 Edition, assesses the uptake of 10 wireless technologies in five sports and fitness monitoring devices (heart rate monitors, activity monitors, footpods, speed and distance sensors and cycling computers), four types of hub device (cellular handsets, portable computing devices desktop PCs and home gateways), and six types of consumer health monitoring devices (blood pressure monitors, blood glucose monitors, pulse oximeters, weight scales, implantable devices and others).

Family Traveling with Teens
I was very unhappy with the time it took to get my room. Manager was very rude and then they finally gave us a room in the handicap area if hotel. They placed us right next door to a conference room where they had a meeting at like 7 am and woke up my daughter and me. It was very frustrating to be awoken by people laughing super loud and eating without any regard to people sleeping! I will never stay there again!! The planes were going over us every so minutes and got no sleep! ...

Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior (Portuguese pronunciation: [nejˈmaʁ dɐ ˈsiwvɐ ˈsɐ̃tus ˈʒũɲoʁ]; born 5 February 1992), commonly known as Neymar, is a Brazilian footballer who plays for La Liga club FC Barcelona and the Brazilian national team, as a forward or winger.
At the age of 19, Neymar won the 2011 South American Footballer of the Year award, after coming third in 2010.[2] He followed this up by winning it again in 2012. In 2011 Neymar received nominations for the FIFA Ballon d'Or, where he came 10th, and the FIFA Puskás Award for Goal of the Year, which he won.[3] He is known for his acceleration, speed, dribbling, finishing and ability with both feet. His playing style has earned him critical acclaim, with fans, media and former players drawing comparison to former Brazil forward Pelé, who has called Neymar "an excellent player", while Ronaldinho states "he will be the best in the world".[4][5][6]
Neymar joined Santos in 2003 and, after rising through the ranks, was promoted to their first team squad. He made his debut for Santos in 2009, and was voted the Best Young Player of the 2009 Campeonato Paulista. Further honours followed, with Neymar being voted best player as Santos won the 2010 Campeonato Paulista, and also being top scorer in the 2010 Copa do Brasil with 11 goals. He finished the 2010 season with 42 goals in 60 games as his club achieved the Double. Neymar was again voted best player of the year in 2011 as his side retained the state title and Santos also winning the 2011 Copa Libertadores in which Neymar scored 6 goals in 13 appearances. He also played a key role in securing a Continental Double for his team, Santos' first since 1963. He received the Bronze Ball in the 2011 FIFA Club World Cup, with Santos making it to the final, where they were defeated 4–0 by Barcelona.[7][8]
Neymar has represented Brazil at Under-17, Under-20 and senior levels. On 10 August 2010, at the age of 18, he made his debut for the Seleção in a friendly match against the United States; he scored from a header in the 28th minute, contributing to Brazil's 2–0 win. Neymar was the top scorer of the 2011 South American Youth Championship with nine goals, including two in the final, in the 6–0 win against Uruguay, helping Brazil to win their eleventh title in the competition. Neymar was selected as part of Luiz Felipe Scolari's Brazil squad for the 2013 Confederations Cup on home soil. For the tournament he was assigned the iconic number 10 shirt. On 30 June, Neymar scored Brazil's second goal in the 3–0 final win over Spain. Neymar's performances saw him awarded the golden ball for the best player of the tournament.[9] In 2012 and 2013, SportsPro named him the most marketable athlete in the world.[10] In December 2013, Neymar was ranked by The Guardian as the sixth best footballer in the world.[11]
Early life
Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior was born in Mogi das Cruzes, São Paulo, to Neymar da Silva, Sr. and Nadine Santos. He inherited his name from his father, who is a former footballer and became his son's advisor as Neymar's talents began to grow.[12] Neymar comments on his father's role "My father has been by my side since I was little. He takes care of things, my finances and my family."[13] Growing up, Neymar combined his love of futsal with street football.[14]
In 2003, Neymar moved with his family to São Vicente, where he began playing for youth side Portuguesa Santista.[15] Then, later in 2003, they moved to Santos, where Neymar joined Santos FC.[16] With the success of his youth career and added income, the family bought their first property, a house next to the Vila Belmiro. Their quality of family life improved, as at age 15, Neymar was earning 10,000 reais per month and at 16, 125,000 reais per month. At 17, he signed a full professional contract, getting upgraded to the Santos first team and even receiving sponsorships.[17]
Club career
Neymar began playing football at an early age and he was soon spotted by Santos FC, who offered him a contract in 2003, where he was inducted into their youth academy, which has, in the past, produced Brazilian internationals like Coutinho, Clodoaldo, Diego, Elano and Alex. He also joined the likes of Pepe, Pelé and Robinho in starting out his career at Peixe (the football club's nickname).[18] While in the youth academy, Neymar met Paulo Henrique Ganso, becoming good friends in the process. He has one sister that did not play football. At the age 15, he travelled to Spain in order to join Real Madrid, at the time when Real had stars like Ronaldo, Zinedine Zidane and Robinho.
2009 season
Neymar made his professional debut on 7 March 2009, despite being only 17 years old; he was brought on for the last thirty minutes, in a 2–1 win against Oeste.[14] The following week he scored his first goal for Santos against Mogi Mirim. One month later, on 11 April, Neymar scored the decisive goal in a 2–1 win against Palmeiras in the 2009 Campeonato Paulista semi-final first leg.[19] In the final, however, Santos suffered a 4–2 aggregate defeat to the Corinthians.[20] In his first season, Neymar racked up 14 goals in 48 games.[14]
2010 season
Neymar continued his ascendancy in 2010, and, on 15 April 2010, he scored five goals for Santos in an 8–1 rout of Guarani in the qualifying stages of the Brazilian Cup.[21] Following the 2010 Campeonato Paulista in which Neymar scored 14 goals in 19 games,[18] the club were crowned champions after a 5–5 aggregate win over Santo André in the finals.[22] Neymar was subsequently given the award for the best player in the competition.[23] Neymar's performances for Santos have drawn comparisons to other Brazilians, including Robinho and Brazilian legend Pelé.[24]
In 2010, Santos rejected a £12 million bid for him from English Premier League team West Ham United,[25] and later an offer from another English club Chelsea, reported to be in the region of £20 million.[26] Despite Santos unwillingness to sell and Neymar himself insisting "I'm focused only on Santos",[27] his agent, Wagner Ribeiro, indicated that Neymar's career was elsewhere, stating "He wants to become the best player in the world. The chances of him doing that while playing in Brazil are zero."[26] Although one year later Neymar admitted, in an interview with the Daily Telegraph, that he had been happy with Chelsea's interest in him as it was a "dream" of his "to play in Europe", whilst also stating that at the time it had been the right decision to stay in Brazil.[28]
On 30 November 2010, Santos sold a 5% share of future transfer fees that he would receive to an investment group, Terceira Estrela Investimentos S.A. (TEISA), for R$ 3,549,900 (€1.5 million).[29] The previous year, his family had sold a 40% stake in Neymar's sporting rights to the DIS Esporte group who had been a long-term strategic partner of Santos' football club.[30]
Despite his first two seasons being highly successful, having ended the 2010 season with an impressive 42 goals in 60 games, problems had been identified, namely Neymar's apparent taste for diving when tackled, rather than attempting to continue his run, and his attitude. The latter came to the forefront during a match with Goianiense, on 15 September 2010, when the Santos' manager, Dorival Júnior, appointed another player to take the penalty awarded for a foul on Neymar. His decision was based on the fact that Neymar had missed a crucial penalty during the Copa do Brasil final of that year, even if Santos went on to win. Reacting to this, Neymar turned his back on his manager, had to be calmed down by a linesman and argued with his captain, Edu Dracena. The fallout from this event was that Dorival Junior wished to have Neymar suspended for two weeks, but the board sided with the player and promptly sacked the manager. Despite Neymar's apologies over the incident, some doubts still remain about his attitude.[14] On 30 December 2010, Neymar came in third for the 2010 South American Footballer of the Year, behind Andrés D'Alessandro and Juan Sebastián Verón.
2011 season
Neymar scored six goals during Santos run to the 2011 Copa Libertadores Finals, tying him for third top goalscorer,[31] including the clinching goal of Santos' 4–3 aggregate win over Cerro Porteño in the semifinals.[32] In the two-legged final, Santos faced Uruguayan side Peñarol and drew the first leg 0–0 in Montevideo.[33] At home in the second leg, Neymar opened the scoring in the 46th minute as Santos held on for a 2–1 win and Neymar won Man of the Match honours.[34][35] The win brought Santos their first Copa Libertadores triumph since 1963, when Brazilian legend Pelé was playing for the club.[36][37]
In September 2011, Santos president Luis Ribeiro threatened to report Real Madrid to FIFA following reports that they had attempted to sign Neymar to a pre-contract agreement and denied that such an agreement was in place.[38] On 9 November 2011, Neymar and Santos agreed to a contract extension that would see the player stay with the club until after the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. The deal reportedly increased Neymar's wages by 50%, to the levels that top European clubs would be paying him.[39] On 14 December 2011, Neymar scored the opening goal for Santos as they defeated Kashiwa Reysol 3–1 in the semi-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup at the Toyota Stadium in Toyota, Japan, but failed to score against Barcelona in the final on 18 December 2011, where Santos were defeated 4–0, finishing as runners up in the competition.[40] He won the 2011 FIFA Puskás Award for scoring a sensational solo goal in the Brasileirão Série A against Flamengo, in a 5–4 loss. On 31 December 2011, he won the 2011 South American Footballer of the Year award for the first time, by a record margin, following in the footsteps of Diego Maradona, Romário, Pelé and Zico.

However, Neymar rejected this in an interview, saying that he had "no agreement with Barcelona or anyone else".[52]
2013 season
Neymar started the 2013 Campeonato Paulista scoring twice in the first match, which ended a 3–1 win over São Bernardo on 19 January 2013.[53] Four days later on 23 January 2013, Neymar scored again against Botafogo in a 3–0 win.[54] On 3 February 2013, in the Paulista fixture against São Paulo, where Santos won 3–1, with Neymar scoring and making two assists.[55] on 18 March 2013, Neymar told that he had a "dream of playing in Europe, for a big club like Barcelona, Real Madrid and Chelsea."

On 13 April 2013, Neymar inspired Santos to a 4–0 thumping of União Barbarense, scoring all four goals in the Campeonato Paulista clash.[57]
On 25 April 2013, his agent and father revealed that Neymar intended to leave for Europe before 2014 FIFA World Cup.[58]
Neymar played his last match for Santos in a goalless draw against Flamengo on 26 May 2013, and he was clearly moved. During the national anthem before the game at Brasília, Neymar struggled to keep his emotions in check with tears rolling down his face.[59]
On 24 May 2013, Santos announced that they had received two offers for Neymar.[60] The following day, Neymar announced he would sign with FC Barcelona on 27 May 2013 and join the team after playing in the 2013 Confederations Cup. Neither Neymar nor the clubs released details on the transfer fee or personal terms, except to say he signed a five-year deal.[61] On 3 June 2013, Neymar was unveiled by Barcelona after passing medical tests and signing a contract that would keep him at the club through June 2018.[62] Neymar was presented at the Nou Camp in front of 56,500 fans a record turnout for a Brazilian player[63] Club vice president Josep Maria Bartomeu said Neymar's transfer fee was €57 million (£48.6m) (making him the 10th overall highest transfer) and his release clause was set at €190 million.[64] However, concerns remain that Neymar may be too lightweight for the transition to European football, and may need to bulk up in order to reach his peak physical condition.[65]
Transfer investigation
The prosecuter's office in Madrid is investigating the transfer fee that Barcelona paid for Neymar.[66] The documents submitted to the authorities on request contained contradictory information.[66] The reported transfer fee was €57 million,[66] but €40 million "supposedly...flowed to a company which is close to Neymar family."[66] This is what "justifies an investigation into whether the allegations are true."[66] Barcelona president Sandro Rosell is accused of being "in connection with the transfer of embezzlement."[66]
2013–14 season
On 30 July 2013, Barcelona drew 2–2 against Lechia Gdańsk in a preseason friendly; this was Neymar's unofficial debut with the team, and he came on as a substitute.[67] On 7 August 2013, Neymar scored his first goal in a Barcelona shirt during a 7–1 friendly win over the Thailand national team in Bangkok.[68]
Neymar made his competitive debut for Barcelona during the opening game of the 2013–14 La Liga season as a 63rd minute substitute in a 7–0 win against Levante UD.[69] On 21 August, he scored his first competitive goal for the club in the first leg of the 2013 Supercopa de España against Atlético Madrid.[70] On 18 September, he made his UEFA Champions League debut, assisting a Gerard Piqué goal as Barça beat AFC Ajax 4–0 in their opening match of the 2013–14 tournament.[71] On 24 September, Neymar scored his first goal in La Liga in Barça's 4–1 defeat of Real Sociedad at Camp Nou.[72]

On 11 December 2013, Neymar recorded his first three Champions League goals as he scored a hat-trick in a 6–1 win over Celtic in Barça's final Group H match.[74]
International career
Following Neymar's performances for Brazil's U-17 team at the 2009 U-17 World Cup in which he scored a goal in the opening match against Japan,[75] former Brazilian football players Pelé and Romário reportedly urged coach Dunga to take Neymar to the 2010 World Cup.[27][76] Although the widespread opinion that Neymar deserved a place in Dunga's squad went as far as a 14,000 signature petition,[27][77] and despite the huge pressure on Dunga to pick Neymar,[78] he was omitted from both the squad of 23,[79][80] and the stand-by list.[81] Although Dunga described Neymar as "extremely talented", he claimed that he had not been tested sufficiently on the international level to earn a World Cup spot and he had failed to impress enough while on international duty.[82][83]
On 26 July 2010, Neymar was selected for the first time in the Brazil senior team by new head coach Mano Menezes for a friendly match against the United States to be played in East Rutherford, New Jersey. On 10 August 2010 he made his debut with the national team in that game, aged 18 years old, starting the match and wearing the number 11 jersey. He scored on his debut after 28 minutes, a header coming from an André Santos cross in a 2–0 win for Brazil.[84] On 1 March 2011, Neymar said: "Being on the Brazilian team is a privilege, There are some marvelous players and I'm very happy to be among them."[13] On 27 March 2011, he scored twice in a 2–0 win against Scotland at the Emirates Stadium.[85] During the match against Scotland, a banana was thrown onto the pitch after he scored from the penalty spot, which led Neymar to complain about 'constant jeering and an atmosphere of racism', implying that Scottish fans exhibited racism.[86][87] While Scottish officials explained that Neymar had been booed solely for perceived injury-feigning, a German student who was in the station amongst Brazil supporters said that he threw the banana with no racist intentions. This led to the Scottish Football Association asking the Brazilian Football Confederation for an apology for the accusations made to the Scottish fans.[88][89] Neymar refused to apologise or retract his words claiming he 'did not accuse any person or any group of supporters'.[90][91][92]
2011 Copa América
Neymar took part at the 2011 Copa América in Argentina, where he scored two goals in the first round game against Ecuador. He was selected 'Man of the Match' in Brazil's first match against Venezuela, which ended a 1–1 draw. Brazil were eliminated in the quarter-finals in a penalty shoot-out against Paraguay (2–2 a.e.t.), with Neymar being substituted in the 80th minute.
2012 Summer Olympics
On 11 May 2012, Neymar was selected in the squad for the Brazil Olympic football team to participate in the London 2012 Olympic Games.[93][94] In Brazil's first warm-up match on 20 July 2012, against the host nation Great Britain at Riverside Stadium, Neymar was involved in both goals of a 2–0 win, first making an assist in the opener after floating a free-kick into the six-yard box for Sandro's header, before converting a penalty.[95] On 26 July 2012, Neymar scored his first goal of the 2012 Summer Olympics in Brazil's opening fixture against Egypt, which ended a 3–2 victory for Brazil.[96] In the following match against Belarus, Neymar scored a free-kick from 25-yards into the top-right corner of the goal and set up goals for Alexandre Pato's header with a cross from the right and Oscar with a back heel as Brazil secured their place in the quarter-finals with a 3–1 win. Afterwards he said: "I scored and made two assists so for me it was perfect".[97][98]
On 5 August 2012, in the quarter-final encounter against Honduras, Neymar scored a penalty, his third goal of the tournament and assisted in Leandro Damião's second goal on the match, to help Brazil to a 3–2 victory at St James' Park and book a place in the semi-finals.[99]
2013 Confederations Cup
Neymar was selected as part of Luiz Felipe Scolari's Brazil squad for the 2013 Confederations Cup on home soil. For the tournament he was assigned the iconic number 10 shirt, having previously worn 11.[100]
On 15 June 2013, Neymar scored the first goal of the tournament in a 3–0 win over Japan at the Estádio Nacional Mané Garrincha.[101] In 19 June 2013, Neymar scored in the ninth minute and assisted one for Jô to give Brazil a 2–0 win over Mexico.[102] Neymar maintained his record of scoring in each match at the tournament with a free-kick that helped Brazil to a 4–2 win over Italy on 22 June 2013.[103]
On 30 June, Neymar scored Brazil's second goal in the 3–0 final win over Spain. Neymar's performances saw him awarded the golden ball for the best player of the tournament.[9]
Style of play
Neymar primarily plays as either a forward, winger or occasionally as an attacking midfielder and has been described as "a true phenomenon".[104] He often plays as a striker for both club and country in the team's 4–3–3 formation and drifting occasionally onto the flanks due to his energetic pace and playmaking skills. His dribbling skills, technical and playmaking ability are reminiscent of compatriot Ronaldinho. Neymar's common exemplary traits are his creativity, passing, clinical finishing, exceptional dribbling and technical ability, being described as both "electric" and "explosive".[105] He commented on his attributes saying: "I'm always trying to perfect everything – dribbling, shooting, headers and control. You can always improve".[13] Neymar also said that he aspired to be like his idols, Real Madrid Forward Cristiano Ronaldo, Manchester United's Wayne Rooney and FC Barcelona's midfielders Andrés Iniesta and Xavi. By saying: "I like to watch good football so I like to watch good players. I like Cristiano Ronaldo, Iniesta, Xavi and Wayne Rooney."
The media have often drawn comparisons between Neymar and Brazilian Legend Pelé, as Neymar possesses similar attributes and also like Pelé came from the Santos Youth Academy and turned heads with his skill. Neymar has said that Pelé is his "role model" but also saying: "I don't like to make comparison with Pelé".[106] On 11 April 2012, during the celebrations for the 100 years of Santos, when asked by journalists about Lionel Messi, Pelé said he felt that Neymar was better: "Now everyone is talking about Messi; he is a star. But [to be the best ever] he must first become better than Neymar," Pelé said. "At the moment Messi is just more experienced."[107] Brazilian star Ronaldinho has also tipped Neymar on becoming the best player in the world: "Neymar is young though, and I can't explain how special he will become. In the next two or three seasons he will become the best player."[108] Another Brazilian star, retired World Cup winner Ronaldo also believes that Neymar can become the best in the world: "Logically, Messi is better right now but Neymar is a great talent who will show the world that he will be number one".[109] Former Real Madrid sporting director Jorge Valdano has also praised Neymar, stating: "I like Neymar a lot. Many of his individual actions result in a goal and often it's a move that only seems to be happening with him on the pitch."[110] FC Barcelona star Xavi also stated that Neymar "is a great player, has a very good attitude, and will go on to be the best player in the world." [111] However, Neymar also has been known and criticised for his diving when tackled. For which Pelé has told: "He is a player with a body that can't take a lot of hits. [...] A lot of times he will fall because he can't do anything else, but he was overdoing it." He continued: "Even when he is fouled, he can't make a spectacle out of it".[112]
Neymar's increasing reputation led both the media and former great players to draw comparisons between Neymar and FC Barcelona forward Lionel Messi, which Neymar has commented on saying: "Messi is above everyone, there is no use comparing me with him. [...] He is the best player in the world and I always get inspired when I watch good football."[113] Ronaldo said: "Neymar is a great talent, the best we have in Brazil. He is very similar to Messi." Zico said: "I see Neymar like a Ronaldo or a Messi, the type who appears and makes things happen."[114] After his hat-trick against Internacional 3–1 in Copa Libertadores and Messi's five goals scored in the Champions League, Neymar said: "I am a Messi fan. I was told what he did today. I support him to score a lot of nice goals so I can keep copying and imitating him."[115]
Outside football
Personal life
Neymar became a father to a baby boy in August 2011, at the age of 19. The baby, David Lucca, was born in São Paulo.[116] The name of the mother of the child has not been released and Neymar is not in a relationship with her. Neymar was quoted as saying "I cried when I learned that I would be his father. At first, I felt fear. Then joy. It is a new responsibility and I am now enjoying it."[117] He later described the birth of his baby boy as "2.8 kilograms of pure happiness" and also said "Mother and baby are in good condition just after childbirth".[118][119]
Since 2013, Neymar had been dating the Brazilian actress Bruna Marquezine.[120][121] The couple ended their year-long relationship on February 2014.[122]
Neymar is a Christian.[123][124] Neymar has spoken about his faith saying, "Life only makes sense when our highest ideal is to serve Christ!"[125]
In 2012, France Football ranked Neymar at 7th in its list of the world's richest footballers, behind the likes of Lionel Messi (1st) and Cristiano Ronaldo (3rd), with a combined income from salaries, bonuses and off-field earnings of £11 million (€13.8 million).[126][127]
Neymar has signed many sponsorships as his reputation rapidly grew from the age of 17. In March 2011, he signed an 11-year contract with American sportswear company Nike.[128] In the same month, Panasonic paid US$2.4 million to secure Neymar's services for two years. He has also signed other sponsorships from Volkswagen, Tenys Pé Baruel, Lupo, Ambev, Claro, Unilever and Santander.[129][130][131][132] All of his sponsorships have earned him a total of an estimated €20 million per year.[17] On 8 May 2013, Neymar was rated by SportsPro magazine as the most marketable athlete in the world, ahead of Lionel Messi (2nd) and Cristiano Ronaldo (8th).[133] In November 2012 advertising agency Loducca, created Neymar's own personal brand logo,[134] featuring the N, J and R (Neymar Junior) with the N styled to match Neymar's Brazilian shirt number 11.
Neymar was featured on the front covers of the video games Pro Evolution Soccer 2012 and Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 on the North American version, after Konami Digital Entertainment announced that he had joined Pro Evolution Soccer.[135] Neymar joined Cristiano Ronaldo as a featured cover athlete.[136][137]
On February 2013, Neymar became the first Brazilian athlete to be on a TIME cover, an achievement, given the fact that the previous eight to be featured on the front page were Brazil's former presidents and diplomats.[138] The issue included a main article by Bobby Ghosh and was titled "The Next Pelé" with the subtitle: "How the career of Brazilian football star Neymar explains his country's economy".
Controversy erupted because of a cover by Brazilian football magazine Placar that depicted Neymar on a cross. The title read "A Crucificação de Neymar" (the Crucifixion of Neymar) and subtitled: "the Brazilian ace turns scapegoat in a sport where everyone plays dirty"[139]
In April 2013, Brazilian cartoonist Mauricio de Sousa released a Monica's Gang comic book featuring a younger version of Neymar (called Neymar Jr) as the main character.[140]
In May 2013, SportsPro magazine named Neymar as the most marketable athlete on the planet for the second consecutive year. He topped the list ahead of Lionel Messi, Rory McIlroy, Usain Bolt and Cristiano Ronaldo, among other sportspeople. The list measures the monetary value, the age, the force in domestic markets, the charisma and their market potential in the next three years.[10]
Neymar has become an icon in promoting Brazilian modern pop music, particularly Música sertaneja. The video in which Neymar dances in the Santos locker room dancing in front of teammates to the tune of Michel Teló's hit "Ai se eu te pego!" carrying his recorder making the round of the players went viral. He made a point of performing his dance antiques to the song after scoring goals in football games and appeared live with Teló in one of the latter's concerts. He also supported sertanejo singer Gusttavo Lima performing live with Lima on renditions of the singer's hits "Balada" and "Fazer Beber". In 2012, he made cameo appearances in the music video for yet another sertanejo hit "Eu Quero Tchu, Eu Quero Tcha" by João Lucas & Marcelo. In 2013, Neymar made an appearance on a Rap music video "Pais do Futebol" from MC Guime.

"OK, time to get into the hot seat!" the leader of the Fellow Warrior support group announces. I'm herded over to the coffee table in the center of a small back room in a crappy two-story office complex. I sit down and bow my head. Suddenly, 12 Fellow Warriors -- or "ex-gays," as their propaganda calls them -- put their hands on my body, most particularly the shoulders and upper torso, and the praying begins. Like freestyle rappers coming to the mike, each takes a turn praying that my sinful soul stays on the right path. I'm going by the pseudonym Monty today, and the Fellow Warriors are praying that the Lord will watch over me and prevent me from falling back into the gay lifestyle.
"Yes, Jesus. Yes!"
"Monty has a scary journey ahead of him ..."
"Evil days! Evil days!" someone cries.
"... please watch over Monty, oh Lord!"
"Amen! Amen!" someone else cries.
"The righteous man falls several times. Look after Monty and guide him!"
"Yes, Jesus! Yes!"
This goes on way longer than I feel comfortable with. When the praying finally ends, a box of Kleenex is handed to me; apparently, I'm expected to be in tears.
"Wow!" I remark, moving my hands to emulate some sort of energy field. "Yeah, that was really great. I really felt something there. Yeah, it was like feeling a force or something like that. Yeah, that's it: a force!"
I pause. I can't think of anything else to say except, "Wow!"
Many would think this type of fire-and-brimstone, repent-for-homosexuals-for-they-are-sinners antics would take place only in the Midwest or the heart of the South. Uh-uh. Such religious zealots congregate right outside the gates of the city of sin itself, San Francisco. You can take the BART to them.
According to extreme Christian ministries, homosexuality, like poison ivy or frostbite, can be prevented -- if you look for the signs. Pick up a copy of Preventing Homosexuality: A Parent's Guide; the Christian world provides guidelines for concerned parents who want to keep their children from entering the World of Gay:
Masculinity is an achievement. Growing up straight isn't something that happens. It requires good parenting. It requires societal support. And it takes time.
Dad is more important than Mom. Mothers make boys. Fathers make men.
Recognize that most homosexuals were not explicitly so when they were children. More often, they displayed nonmasculinity that set them painfully apart from other boys: unathletic, somewhat passive, unaggressive, and uninterested in rough-and-tumble play.
A boy needs to see his father as confident, self-assured, and decisive. Mothers need to back off a bit. What I mean is, don't smother him. Tip: Single mothers may need to recruit a trustworthy male role model.
Be concerned if you see gender confusion or doubt in your child from ages 5 to 11. There is a high correlation between feminine behavior in boyhood and adult homosexuality.
Personae:Carl and Isabella, concerned Christian parents. Which fictional last name do they go by? Why, the Gaymores, of course.
Disguises:Isabella is caked with way too much makeup: bright pink lipstick, an overabundance of eye shadow, and smears of blush. Her hair is a mess that reflects her frazzled state. I adopt the standard Christian male uniform: Dockers pants, blue sport coat, white shirt, and red tie.
Back story:The Gaymores are experiencing culture shock; they've just moved to San Francisco from a small town in Minnesota.
The Gaymores' problem: This young Christian couple have become frightfully concerned about their son. The little rascal falls within the guidelines of homosexual characteristics on the Web site for the Back to Hope support group. It doesn't help matters that they decided to name him Tobias.
My overused catchphrase:"What do you tell the kids?!"
Approximate distance from San Francisco:55 minutes.
The Exodus ministry runs a Christian-based support group for parents who are concerned and want to take action in regard to sons or daughters who are, as the ministry puts it, in the gay lifestyle. What separates this support group from others is the firm belief that children who are gay will go straight to hell unless they change their ways and embrace the Lord. Why is it those who scream "sinner" are, almost always, the people concealing the deepest, darkest sins?
With the assistance of an actress friend named Johanna, who poses as my fake wife, we enter a classroom that has a large "Jesus Loves You" banner on the wall; it is inside a community church center in Fremont. We wear funereal expressions.
"We're a limited, cozy group this evening," professes Debbie, a woman who exhibits the bobble-headed enthusiasm of an Orange County cruise-ship social director. "We are officially ending our first year as a group."
I take a seat in one of the schoolchild-size chairs in the semicircle, next to Debbie, Carol, and a large woman, also a first-timer, who has a box of Kleenex, and who appears to have been crying long before we got there. I stare straight ahead, as if I'm harboring a horrible secret.
"Do you have a loved one that's in the gay lifestyle?" asks concerned Carol, a chunky woman who resembles a high school women's softball coach.

Since 32 AD? I would be fascinated to know the research behind the suggestion that Saint Peter was established in Rome at this early date. Moreover, if what is intended is the year of Our Lord's Passion, surely the previous year is more generally preferred by current scholarship?
A look at papal terms since 32AD
THE post of Bishop of Rome is considered to be a life-long commitment. And with only a handful of exceptions, it has been. Nearly all 266 popes have served until their death. But that does not mean that they were in the job for long. Rather, as our charts below show, popes tend to have a short shelf-life. Over half of all papal terms have lasted between two weeks and five years. Part of this is the result of age: the average age at time of election between 1500 and 2005 was 64. Pope Benedict XVI, who announced his resignation on February 11th, was, at 78, one of the oldest to be elected. His seven-and-a-half years put him in good company: 62 others served between six and ten years. The shortest-serving pope was Urban VII, who survived just 13 days in office in September 1590. Pius IX was the longest-serving elected pope, holding on for 32 years. Popes who left their stamp on the office include Innocent III, who served for 18 years from 1198, and launched Christianity's fourth Crusade; and Leo XIII, who used his quarter of a century from 1878 to grapple with how the church should respond to industrialisation and trade unions.
Correction: An earlier version of this chart had a mislabelled scale. Sorry. This was corrected on February 13th 2013.

"the house that fried chicken built"
If America has Colonel Sanders' KFC, in the Philippines we have Max's. But while Colonel Sanders' recipe hides the chicken with its breading, Max's does not. Max's Restaurant is famous for its unique fried chicken recipe. A usual order is for a quarter or half chicken with dinner rolls and butter on the side.
I remember there was a Max's restaurant near UP (University of the Philippines- where I went to school). I went there on a first date with a guy. You might think "how cheap!" but in my defense, I was young and that was the closest restaurant to UP at the time that served an iconic dish.
Waiter (to me): Your order Ma'am?
Me: Fried Chicken
Waiter: What size ma'am.
God knows I wanted the whole spring chicken. But yeah, it was our first date so I have to look demure, so I said "A quarter!"
Waiter: And you sir (to my date)
Date: Pork barbecue (on a stick)
I said to myself "Really?" as my eyes rolled in disbelief. How could he order a pork dish in a restaurant made famous by its fried chicken??? Hmmm, major turn off? Guess again. I married the guy. haha! I made a note to myself that I will have to do the ordering on our next date...
And so this fried chicken recipe I am sharing may not be the "secret recipe" Max's Restaurant has been keeping through out the years but trust me, it comes close. Make sure to get your sauces ready: you know the drill, yes the Jufran Banana Ketchup, the Worcestershire sauce and maybe some Mother's Best hot sauce. Serve with dinner rolls, King's Hawaiian Bakery or Costco dinner rolls are the closest to what is served in the Philippines. Enjoy!
Fried Chicken ala Max's
1 chicken whole or 4 leg quarters
salt and pepper
4 cloves garlic
2 stalks of lemongrass
3 bay leaves
2 stalks of celery
cilantro leaves
Pound the lemongrass. Make sure to get the juices out. Rub it on to the chicken. Mince the garlic and mix it together with salt and pepper. Rub it to the chicken. Slip more of the mix under the skin. You need some TLC while rubbing it under the skin, you don't want the skin to tear.
Throw in some bay leaves, peppercorns, cilantro leaves and celery (or any herbs and spices to add more flavor) in a steamer. Steam the chicken for 30 minutes. Hang it to dry or for faster results pat try with paper towels. Proceed to the next step or you can put it in the fridge until you are ready to cook it. Make sure to bring the chicken out an hour before cooking.
Now here's where you decide what to do next:
a: Submerge the chicken in a pot full of oil and deep fry it on high heat.
b: Bake it at 375F in an oven, or in my case, the turbo broiler, until very crispy. When you hear the skin crackling, voila, it's done!
Either you bake it or fry it, you will enjoy a tasty, crispy fried chicken ala Max's. As I've said before have some banana ketchup and Worcestershire sauce. And if you would want to have some heat, add some hot sauce. Go ahead, mix that sauce just the way you like it and enjoy this crispy fried chicken.

Jun: yes the magic of comfort food, it transports you back home!
arnold: great to see you here! steaming the chicken makes it 'sarap to the bone" hihi!
caroline: you could just come over and enjoy the chicken with me haha. the chicken is definitely crispy on the outside and moist and tender on the inside...
mary: yeah I'll name it MFC haha then you open a franchise of it over there in the UK.. how's that? haha!
christine: lemongrass gives a hint of citrus-y. just a tiny hint... that makes you want more haha!
joanne: when you're in love i guess you look past that and on everything haha... or maybe the chicken that did it haha!
cookies and cream: heya... it's been awhile! yeah it's a healthy option. some say it's kinda different turbo/baking it but for me healthwise it's ok.
ninnette: thank you for dropping by to tell me that you've edited it haha.. that was sweet... thanks for the tip!- AnonymousSeptember 5, 2010 at 3:41 PM
Max's Restaurant is such a blast in the past. I remember those days. Thanks for bringing back memories but now I could recreate it with your recipe.

The Viking BuddhasThinking of your Ancient Art, would you consider the Viking Age ancient? It's more early Middle Ages generally speaking.
I was wondering if you'd seen any of the Viking Buddhas? The Vikings had extensive trade with Asia (some through Russia and extensively through Persia). The most common east Asian trade item found in the Viking world (from what I understand) is silk. Less well known are the "uncommon" but not "rare" occurrence of Buddhas. There are several "classic" style Buddhas found in the Viking world that were likely acquired in trade from eastern Asia (i.e. China) as well as some in the style of southern Asia (i.e. India), but there are also some that are done in a style and with materials that suggests they might have been created in northern Europe, from within the Viking world. The more famous of these (to my knowledge) is the "Oseberg Bucket Buddha" (wikimedia link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Buckle_from_Oseberg_Vikingship_Buddha.JPG ). It was found in a burial of a very high profile woman.
From what I've been able to find, how these Buddhas fit into the Viking worldview is not known. where they representations of a religious minority? Where they co-opted as representation of Norse gods? Was a Buddha figure incorporated into the Viking pantheon in some areas? Where there immigrants or descendants from east/south Asia living in the Viking world that maintained their religious heritage (we know the Viking brought back people from both raid and trade expeditions from most of the "known" world, as spouses, slaves, and even equals/freemen immigrants, and it was possible for slaves to become freemen). In addition to the Buddhas, there are several figurines, mostly interpreted as Valkyrie or Shield Maidens, that have what art historians and hobbyists describe as "slanted" eyes (how i wish they said "artistic interpretation of a hooded eye" or something less probematic! Even "Asiatic" would have been less loaded, for goodness' sake. ) ( wikicommons link http://www.flickr.com/photos/28772513@N07/4560502772/ ).
Actually, in recent years, more connections to the Vikings and Asia have been revealed in both art and literature. In additions to the Buddhas from Helgö and Oseburg, Persian silk fragments previously thought to have been looted from England or Ireland are now thought to have been gained by legitimate trade directly with Persia. Some of the fragments are suspected to have originated even further east in China.
The literary connection comes from the Saga of Siddharta, which became Baarlams and Josaphat, which was originally Buddha. Apparently a written version of this tale was recorded as a Norse saga in the 13th century.
There are also some linguistic and genetic connections, but that's definitely wayyy outside my field.

The Heartland Institute [1] is rounding up the usual suspects for a conference [2] that will alert international media to "the fact" that a shocking number of "scientists" can be induced with a little cash and a free trip to New York City to question the science of global warming.
As reported by RealClimate.org [3], this is not a "scientific conference" in the normal sense:
"Normal scientific conferences have the goal of discussing ideas and data in order to advance scientific understanding. Not this one. The organisers are surprisingly open about this in their invitation letter [4] to prospective speakers, which states:
'The purpose of the conference is to generate international media attention to the fact that many scientists believe forecasts of rapid warming and catastrophic events are not supported by sound science, and that expensive campaigns to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are not necessary or cost-effective.'
So this conference is not aimed at understanding, it is a PR event aimed at generating media reports."
If you doubt RealClimate's analysis, you can look to Heartland's program and participant list [5] for confirmation. It's a who's who of apologists for tobacco [6], coal [7] and oil [8]; a long list of people like Christopher Monckton, who don't mind when they lie [9], or like Bob Carter, who don't make any sense when they are telling their truth [10].
Heartland has taken over the from thoroughly discredited Competitive Enterprise Institute [11] as the leading propaganda mill sowing confusion about climate science, although CEI is one of the sponsors [12] of this event. We at the DeSmogBlog will try to keep track over the coming weeks to see if any new faces show up among the scientists for hire. Our dream gift for 2008, however, would be a list of the politicians and "journalists" who accept Heartland's offer of an all-expenses paid trip for the New York gabfest.

April 9, 2013 Fantasy FreestyleHigh-Stakes League Free Agent RundownCrazy early-season statistics can make fantasy owners do silly things. In the past week, I have heard from a few Twitter followers that have either executed or witnessed some head-scratching moves already this season. The most recent one was a report from someone in a 12-team mixed dynasty league who dropped—yes, dropped—Norichika Aoki to pick up Trevor Bauer. The move breaks two tenets of fantasy baseball: Do not play for the future in the first two months of the season, and do not drop anyone you just drafted unless he is injured. MLB.com's Cory Schwartz has a nice guideline for this using an inverse scale. If you draft someone in the 23rd round, you have to keep him for at least three scoring periods; conversely, first-round picks should stay on your roster for at least 23 weeks. This past Sunday, we witnessed an "Acepocalypse" (h/t @ThatTonyG), as many big-ticket pitchers put up ugly numbers, giving us a very powerful example of just how unpredictable baseball can be. Itchy trigger fingers can lead to a lot of troubles, especially in 12-team mixed leagues, which remain a popular format. The popularity of that format is driven in a large part by the popularity of the online competitions held by organizations such as the NFBC. I am playing in such a league this season, and a weekly scan of the free-agency report makes it very enticing to join the fray in the panic disco and dump a few of my slow starters, such as Chris Carter and Jeff Keppinger. When scanning through the free-agent list in my particular league, I am rather taken aback by the quality of the players owned in less than 60 percent of leagues. Maybe it comes from years of playing in single-league formats, but here are some of the names that hundreds of mixed-league players are still on the fence about in high-stakes leagues: Wily Peralta (59 percent owned): Why, yes, I consider the rookie roster-able if you have a reserve list. He can miss some bats and keeps the ball in the yard. Peralta is by no means a must-start, but you could do a lot worse for a spot starter depending on the matchup. Al Alburquerque (55 percent owned): I like to use at least two spots on my reserve list to speculate on saves. I am a believer in talent, and I strongly feel that Alburquerque has the best talent in the confusion that is the Detroit bullpen. The fire-baller still strikes out one-third of the hitters he faces, but the walk rate is what is holding him back from taking the next step.

CroatiaCroatia has one of the most dramatic coastlines in the Mediterranean region. The Dinaric Alps plunge right into the sea, fracturing into a series of islands stretching the full length of the Dalmatian Coast. Historically the region was caught among the maritime empire of Venice, the landlocked Austro-Hungarian empire, and the Ottoman Empire which spanned both land and sea. As a result, the cultural heritage of the region bears the fruits of all three of these cultures. The culinary traditions show the best of this heritage, the architecture is purely Mediterranean, and the historical remnants date back to Roman times, though the region is rich in Medieval and Renaissance villages, cities, and architecture.
