2014 World Cup: USMNT's Mix Diskerud Will Soon Become a Household Name
Americans love an event, and there is no bigger event than the World Cup. So why have Americans so long been ambivalent toward the global futbol spectacle? Perhaps it's a lack of access (no longer an issue, since ESPN and NBC now ensure more soccer games are aired in these United States than in England). Perhaps it's a lack of understanding of the rules (unlikely since a lot of kids have played the game for decades now; also, there are, like, five rules).
The one thing standing between the United States and a full on love affair with the beautiful game is a star of our own. We love athletes with big personalities and captivating narratives, and as of yet (with apologies to Alexi Lalas) we haven't had that. Clint Dempsey is an extraordinary player, but he's a quiet soldier who likes to go fishing. Landon Donovan was previously the biggest name, but I've heard him associated with the word "flaky" on more than one occasion (and in case you haven't heard, he's not playing in this tournament). Michael Bradley is forever underrated for reasons that remain unclear. Goalkeeper Tim Howard fits the bill (he's captivating and borderline poetic in his interviews), but he's been around for awhile and unlikely to be "discovered" by the general population at this point in his career.
If this US Men's National Team is going to have a breakout star in the 2014 World Cup, it's going to be one of coach Jurgen Klinsmann's younger guys. I hope it's Mix Diskerud. He has all the right ingredients to be that star we Americans have longed to wholeheartedly embrace.
Let's start with his name: Mix (short for Mikkel). It's catchy, it's memorable and it rolls nicely off the tongue after he's just scored a goal and you're thrown your beverage all over yourself in celebration. As a Norwegian-American, he's one of Team USA's seven dual-citizens (dad is Norwegian, mom is from Arizona). He was given a choice of which country he wanted to represent, and he chose the United States.

Of all the dual-citizens featured in ESPN's recent "March to Brazil" series, none made it a point to demonstrate his American-ness more than Mix. He collects baseball caps, especially with the New York Yankees logo. Though he's never lived full-time in the States, he speaks with an American accent (except for when saying his own name). He at one point tried to engineer a transfer to the Portland Timbers of MLS, but the deal fell through (apparently on the league side). He in no way strikes me as a mercenary sell-sword; he strikes me as a guy with a rich heritage who chose where he wanted to be. And he's young, born in 1990 (the same year as Jennifer Lawrence and Paul George) so his career is just hitting its stride.
Mix is fine player with an easy-on-the-eyes energy to his game, but he's not necessarily a big personality — at least not in the traditional John McEnroe sense. There's something more subtle to his charm and sense of humor. He's soft spoken and smiling when he says he's by far the best ping-pong player on the team. There's something of a wink about him when he juggles (like, with his hands) and has fans tweet him videos of themselves juggling too.
For all those who have been asking – this is my only hint on what shampoo I use… #C4UrSelf pic.twitter.com/ZPkjb2Gcrh
— Mix Diskerud (@MixDiskerud) June 12, 2014
But the moment I fell irrevocably in love with Mix came when he scored in the send-off game against Azerbaijan wearing the No. 10 jersey that some said "belonged" to Landon Donovan. He put his hand to the USA badge on his chest and answered: "I'm playing for what's on the front of the jersey, not the back, the number or my name. With Landon, I feel like I'm just borrowing it, and I'm sure we'll play together again someday and he'll get it back."
When I heard that answer delivered graciously with a dazzling Scandinavian smile, I though this kid had the makings of a star. Get on board the Mix bandwagon now; with any luck his stock (and the USMNT's in general) will soon be on the rise.

Processed meat 'is to blame for one in 30 deaths': Scientists say a rasher of cheap bacon a day is harmful
- Analysis of diets of 500,000 linked meat to cancer and heart disease deaths
- Should be 'limit of no more than 20g a day of processed meat', equal to one rasher of cheap bacon or one full English breakfast a week
Meals containing too much processed meat such as cheap ham, bacon and sausages could send you to an early grave, a large-scale study has found.
Analysis of the diets and medical history of almost half a million men and women linked processed meat to deaths from cancer and heart disease.
The Europe-wide research, including work by Oxbridge scientists, found that processed meat is to blame for about one in 30 deaths.
The researchers suggested a limit of no more than 20g a day of processed meat – equal to one rasher of cheap bacon.
Scroll down for video
It may look good, but a major Europe-wide research, including work by Oxbridge scientists, found that processed meat such as cheap bacon or ham is to blame for about one in 30 deaths
The warning comes in the wake of the horsemeat scandal which has caused many consumers to question the origins of their food.
Processed meat, made by combining the leftover parts of animals which cannot be sold as good cuts such as steaks and joints, contains high concentrations of fat, including artery-clogging cholesterol.
The researchers from ten European countries quizzed almost 450,000 people, many of them Britons, and tracked their health for an average of 13 years.
They said: 'Men
and women with a high consumption of processed meat are at increased
risk of early death, particularly due to cardiovascular diseases but
also cancer.'
Some 26,344 of the participants died over the course of the study, with those who ate the biggest amounts of processed meat being 44 per cent more likely to have died than those who ate the lowest amounts.
The figures for heart disease were striking – those who ate the most processed meat, more than 160g or three sausages a day, were 72 per cent more likely to die of heart disease.
Processed meat such as bacon and sausages could send you to an early grave, a large-scale study has found
A study last year found that eating 50g of processed meat a day – the equivalent of one sausage or three rashers of bacon – raises the likelihood of cancer by a fifth.
But in the latest, much bigger study, those who ate the most processed meat were almost 50 per cent more likely to suffer an early death, with heart disease the overwhelming cause.
The study, published in the journal BMC Medicine, concluded that a limit of 20g a day of processed meat – equal to a rasher of bacon or one full English breakfast a week – would prevent about 20,000 early deaths in the UK each year.
Tracy Parker, a dietician at the British Heart Foundation, said: 'With spring in the air, many of us may be looking forward to sunny barbecues. But this research suggests processed meat, such as sausages and burgers, may be linked to an increased risk of early death.
Diets laden with pies, sausages, and ready meals can lead to an early death, a major study has shown
'However, the people who ate the most processed meat in this study also made other unhealthy lifestyle choices.
'They were found to eat less fruit and vegetables and were more likely to smoke, which may have had an impact on results.'
Professor Karol Sikora, one of Britain's leading cancer specialists and an unpaid member of the industry-backed Meat Advisory Panel, said the key to good health is a balanced diet.
He said: 'Don't worry about having a bacon sandwich. It is not going to kill you. But don't have four bacon sandwiches every day for your whole life.'
The amount of white meat eaten, such as chicken, was not linked to death rates by the researchers, while small amounts of red meat appeared beneficial.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Tim Lang, professor of food policy at City University, London, said: 'This study is yet another little plank going into the edifice saying we've got to down on [processed] meat.
Nutritionist issues processed meat warning on Daybreak...
'This is what we're saying, let's lower the amount of animals we are producing. We need to reduce the cattle culture in this country.
'The key issue is we don't know what a good diet is, we've had dietary guidelines based on a very narrow based idea of what is nutrition.
'For me, this study is another reminder of the need to go for a more sustainable diet.'
A Department of Health spokesman said: 'It's important that everyone eats a balanced diet. Eating well and being active can help prevent serious illnesses such as cancer and heart disease later in life.
'Red meat can be part of a balanced diet. But people who eat a lot of red and processed meat should consider cutting down as regularly eating a lot could increase your risk of bowel cancer.

Now that 2012 is over, I guess it's time to start looking at what's coming down the track in 2013. Here are my top five predictions for the year ahead:
ZFS will be recognized as the most broadly deployed storage file system in the world.
Okay, so I cheated on that one. It already is. We alone have half as much storage, we figure, under management as NetApp claims. Add Oracle and you're already bigger than any one-storage file system. Add all Solaris and illumos deployments on top of that and you are 3-5x larger than NetApp's OnTap. In fact, the number of ZFS users is larger than those using NetApp's OnTap file system and EMC's Isilon file system combined.
"Other" will again be the only storage vendor growing product sales year on year
Take a look at EMC's recent earnings results. They show that while EMC is gaining market share, it is dropping year on year product sales. Results from NetApp are similar; again, it is likely gaining share versus the much, much larger system vendors while dropping sales quarter on quarter.
Given that storage spend is actually increasing, the only explanation that makes sense is that "Other" is taking more and more share within storage and is taking ALL of the revenue growth in the space.
What this means is you are out of touch if you are not at least evaluating "Other". Companies like Nexenta are pioneering software defined storage that offers superior enterprise class performance and data protection without the vendor lock in and ridiculous pricing of legacy storage vendors.
Software defined storage will be more disruptive and more difficult than the rest of the software defined data centre
There are about $1.2 billion reasons software defined networking was hot in 2012, such as VMware acquiring Nicera for $1.2 billion. And with good reason. Fixing, making more flexible, networking is an important part of fixing the data centre.
But storage is the real bottleneck. At current rates of growth, storage is on pace to consume more dollars than networking, security, and compute put together by 2014. That's simply not sustainable.
Perhaps even more importantly, storage is hard and data is heavy. You can move network port definitions around with a VM and have a software infrastructure in place plus the hardware to forward those packets accordingly and achieve software defined networking. You cannot move the data around.
Repeat after me, you cannot move the data around. You cannot move zetabytes of data here around because the speed of light has not changed and it takes time to get that data over the network. So it's increasingly important to work out what SLAs are acceptable from compute and networking to deliver per application performance on the storage. Perhaps this will be done increasingly by performing compute ON the storage, such as in our VSA for View product.
SaaS and web companies will continue to vote against IaaS offerings from major vendors
Take a poll of the CEOs of the top SaaS companies and they'll all tell you, "No legacy IaaS company has a clue how to run infrastructure for the enterprise". They cannot match the price point of those based on commodity hardware. Relatively few data center providers pass muster.
NVMe and anti-competitive behavior by flash factories will shift the flash storage world towards openness
With recent moves by the four or five companies that make pretty much all the world's NAND for SSDs and consumer devices to limit global supply in the hope of restraining price drops, vendors and users reliant on flash are concerned about locking themselves into a single vendor.
NVMe offers some hope. Unlike FusionIO, which is getting users to adopt a proprietary set of APIs to get to their data, NVMe is a standard approach to accessing data on flash-enabled systems. Nexenta and most other storage vendors will support NVMe, which should level the playing field somewhat.
In either case, openness is important. And software defined storage that abstracts the underlying hardware dependencies away is important if storage and compute buyers want to avoid more vendor lock in as the world shifts towards flash.
That's my top five for 2013 but I also have a bonus prediction for you: All flash isn't a company, it's a feature
Every storage system vendor will have all flash capabilities in their product offering in 2013. We launched ours earlier in 2012 with partners announcing systems based on NexentaStor achieving over 1 million IOPS, more than 3x faster than proprietary all flash systems on the market.
Our users don't want to sacrifice enterprise class requirements like data protection, NAS access and 24x7 around the clock support in order to have all flash appliances. So they won't. They'll buy all flash from legacy vendors or from other suppliers like Nexenta and our partners, including Dell, SGI, Wipro, Racktop, Cisco and others that have a track record of making many thousands of customers successful.
To paraphrase John Chambers of Cisco and many other leaders of the IT industry, when industries shift, they shift. All we can do as companies is try to anticipate and then keep up with the shift.
With increasing coverage in mainstream IT and in analyst reports – and mounting interest on the part of Wall Street, including countless public investors and bankers with whom I've been spending time – the storage industry is shifting right before our eyes. In 2012 all major vendors saw declining core product sales despite a fast growing overall storage sector. We also saw confirmation that an originally general-purpose file system, ZFS, passed the legacy storage vendors in terms of capacity under management. And with software defined storage gaining visibility I'm confident that by the end of 2013 we will look back on the early 2000s storage industry and wonder, "what were we thinking".
The world has changed. And openness and flexibility has come to storage. The result will be a better IT industry and a smarter world. But that's a subject for another blog.
What do you think about my projections? What did I miss? What is the most likely to occur? What is least likely?

Syms Covington really was Darwin's shooter from 1832 to 1839, and even after he emigrated to Australia, the men continued their tense relationship--until, that is, a copy of The Origin of Species arrived. Though the boy was never the naturalist's "beau ideal" of a collector, still, Roger McDonald writes,
It was a marriage of convenience they had, and Darwin was like the fiancée who gives her consent to the match for reasons of suitability but through lack of love rues the intimacy--yet all the time lauding the practicality.If this talented author occasionally lays on the archaisms too heavily, in Mr. Darwin's Shooter he has nonetheless fashioned a sensuous, provocative adventure. --Molly Winterbotham
Syms Covington, the protagonist of this magnificent novel, was a real person.
I almost didn't finish this book because of the difficult sentence structure and just plain hard to understand writing at times.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Minnesota agricultural experts will try to head off a stinky and destructive bug before it wreaks havoc with state crops.
The brown stink bug is one of the newest invasive species to hit the state, spreading across nine counties in the Twin Cities metro area and showing up in Duluth and southeastern Minnesota.
The bug is known to attack at least 300 kinds of plants and emits a foul odor that's likened to dirty socks. The state Department of Agriculture will try to pinpoint how far the bug has spread in Minnesota. And, University of Minnesota entomologists will try to find a biological control for the smelly insect.
The Star Tribune reports experts say the bugs are especially drawn to apple orchards and have been found near La Crescent, the heart of Minnesota's apple-growing country.

Krista Sanders, a recent graduate of Lake High School and current student at Morehead State University, has made "The Dream Team" — the First Team USA for cheerleading.
Cheerleaders were chosen after a three-part selection process. After filling out an online application, eligible cheerleaders were invited to an official tryout in Louisville, Kentucky. From there, the selection committee chose the final 60 cheerleaders. Those who made the teams were announced during the 2009 College Cheerleading and Dance Team National Championship at the Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, FL.
The team will be coached by James Speed, Head Coach of the University of Louisville cheerleading squads and owner of Gym Time Cheer Gym; Jomo Thompson, the Head Coach of the University of Kentucky; and Tony Nash, the Head Coach of Morehead State University.

For inlay work, builders often use all kinds of exotic materials, including shells, hardwoods, semiprecious stones and precious metals. When building his Dueling Dragons guitar, luthier Virgil Mandanici of Virgil Guitars utilized all of the above, but he also incorporated two more unusual materials: teeth from prehistoric sharks, for the dragons' teeth and claws, and puppy teeth, for the dragons' horns.

The First Word in Protective & Marine Coatings

Friday, March 12, 2010
Gaco Western, a manufacturer of elastomeric coatings and polyurethane spray foam (SPF), announced an enhancement of its GacoSafe Tent with the introduction of GacoShelter, described as an insulated tent structure built for rapid-response shelter solutions for military and other uses.
The company says the structure, which uses SPF to provide energy efficiency in the emergency-shelter structure, can address shelter needs in places such as Iraq and Afghanistan, and in regions experiencing natural disasters such as Haiti and Chile.
Gaco Western says it was the first polyurethane-foam insulation manufacturer to work with the military with SPF tents in Iraq and Afghanistan. In 2009, Gaco developed the GacoSafeTent as an alternative to the military's general-purpose medium-size tent, which did not offer insulation for climate control within the tent or noise-reduction properties. Through additional research, testing and technological advances, the GacoSafeTent has evolved into the GacoShelter, the company says.
In an interview with PaintSquare News, Chuck Skalski, vice president of Gaco Western's commercial division, said conventional military tents are "heavy and energy inefficient. We came up with a design that accepts SPF." The tent structure is made of CPVC piping, which he said is stronger than conventional PVC, with a thicker wall size for greater stability. A lightweight vinyl fabric provides the tent cover. The SPV is applied to the fabric in a thin coat, which expands and cures to a thickness of approximately 1 inch. The cured SPF then is coated with a spray-applied, solvent-free silicone coating.
The CPVC piping also houses an electrical system for eight dual-recepticle outlets and four heavy-duty fluorescent lights. "It's pre-wired as a kit," Skalski said. "This provides for the safest type of electrical installation." Another inch of spf is applied to the inside surface of the vinyl tent cover. "Then you have a complete R14 insulated structure.
"We took the technology learned in Iraq and Afghanistan, and adapted it for use anywhere in the world," Skalski said.
The company says the shelter meets domestic codes for energy, fire safety, electrical (single 20-amp connection), structural, wind load, and snow load. The structure can be erected in 90 minutes, is lightweight, can be manufactured in varying sizes, and can be modified for a long-term shelter solution.
Spray polyurethane foam, commonly referred to as SPF, is a spray-applied insulating foam plastic that is installed as a liquid and then expands many times its original size. The cured foam is strong but flexible, wind resistant, and carries a high insulating R value. Typical applications include commercial roofing systems, wall insulation, cold-vessel insulation, and sealants.
Gaco Western, based in Seattle, WA, is a manufacturer of elastomeric coatings and polyurethane spray foam for the construction and waterproofing industries. Products include roof coatings, insulation, and deck coatings.

Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding Co., 's second-largest shipbuilder by sales, forecast profit will rise 64 percent in three years, aided by record demand. The shares gained the most in two weeks, Bloomberg reported.
Operating profit may reach $534min the year through March 2011, from 33 billion yen estimated for the year just ended, the Tokyo-based company said today in a statement. Sales are forecast to rise 27 percent to 800 billion yen in three years. No net income targets were given.
Mitsui Engineering, with a three-year order backlog, said today it will accelerate spending to expand production capacity. The company is counting on rising sales of its vessels to counter higher steel costs and a stronger yen that would erode the value of overseas earnings.
Mitsui Engineering based the currency exchange rate of 105 yen to the dollar for the three-year plan. The yen recently traded at 101.34 yen to the dollar in .
The Japanese company will spend 53 billion yen on capital expenditure over the three years ending March 31, 2011, 37 percent higher than in the previous three years. Research and development costs will increase 68 percent to 21 billion yen, mostly for new businesses.
Mitsui Engineering, Mitsui & Co., Inpex Holdings Inc. and six other partners, are studying the feasibility of turning natural gas into frozen pellets, making the fuel easier to ship.
