Will rookies learn from NBA's summer of trouble?
Later this summer, LeBron James' ears are guaranteed to perk up. He'll be sitting in a room along with the rest of the NBA's rookie class, and the subject will inevitably turn to Kobe Bryant.
The speaker will be someone from the league's office of player development, perhaps its director, Mike Bantom. The discussion will be frank, the tone will be bleak and the moral of the story will be this:
If you do something bad, no matter how big or small, everybody is going to know about it on a scale you could never imagine.
"I hope that somebody learns from this," Bantom said. "Before, when you were in high school and college, you may have felt under a microscope, but it's nothing like at this level. Now, anything you do impacts you, your family, your career -- and on how pro athletes are portrayed. And it will have a profound impact with fans."
The felony sexual assault charge against Bryant -- the league's No. 1 marketable star -- has been just one of a string of highly publicized cases involving NBA players this summer.
The legal troubles have been a PR nightmare for a league that has struggled in recent years to sell the sport to a portion of the public turned off by the tattooed, hip-hop culture.
Still, the NBA maintains that the problems are isolated and are not representative of the league's nearly 400 players.
In the last month alone:
--Damon Stoudamire of the Portland Trail Blazers was arrested at an airport security checkpoint on marijuana charges.
--Jerry Stackhouse of the Washington Wizards was charged with assault in a dispute over a rental contract for a home he was staying at on the North Carolina coast.
--Darrell Armstrong of the New Orleans Hornets was arrested outside an Orlando nightclub after he allegedly shoved away the arm of a police officer who grabbed his shoulder.
"This summer has taught me to stay my butt in the house," said Vince Carter of the Toronto Raptors.
NBA rookies aren't the only ones who hear from the office of player development, which also speaks with each of the league's 29 teams twice during the season to counsel players on numerous topics: finance, continuing education, sexual health, domestic violence, traffic safety and gun laws.
But those sessions are minor compared to the six-day program known as rookie orientation, which is mandatory for all incoming players. It will be held next month in suburban New York.
And while the Bryant case will serve as the epitome of how everything can go wrong so quickly for one of the game's top players, the rookies will be reminded about the Stoudamire, Stackhouse and Armstrong arrests, too.
"With Kobe, what he has been accused of is something they know they should never do, but our point is that in cases like Stackhouse's or Armstrong's, these are good guys who have done good things, but they lost their tempers. And because they are NBA players, it becomes a national news story," Bantom said.
What bothers some NBA players is that they are often lumped in with the few that get into trouble.
"It can't help but to make people think the wrong way about us," said Allan Houston of the New York Knicks. "People are going to generalize. People have done it already. When the marijuana cases came out, they generalized NBA players. Now they think all NBA players smoke weed. It's just not fair, but hey, that's how it is."
Before making those comments, Houston read to a group of summer campers as part of the league's Read to Achieve program. Other NBA players often participate in that program and similar ones that receive little or no publicity.
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban believes a portion of the sports media has an outdated obsession.
"The 'I'm horrified' and 'What happened to the good old days?' perspective has long died as a perspective among the general public," Cuban wrote in an e-mail.
"If you haven't noticed, this is the age of reality TV, and if anything, people become more interested in celebrities the more notoriety they receive.
"In terms of players in the NBA, there isn't a CEO of a large company who wouldn't trade places with the NBA in a heartbeat. To have a work population of mostly young, 20-something men, and have less than 2 percent of them have legal issues in a given year, and to have them also uniformly admit any problems and be open to seeking help and counseling, would be a dream come true," Cuban wrote.
But statistical perspective and feel-good stories don't excite the masses. Arrests of athletes almost always make the national news wires and the Internet, where high-profile cases can take on a life of their own.
There are many Web sites about the Bryant case. One lists the names and pictures of the accuser's friends and acquaintances along with their public statements on the case. Another site sells "Colorado Prison League" jerseys with Bryant's familiar No. 8.
The Web site www.thesmokinggun.com -- which features famous mug shots -- has had 316,810 "unique visitor hits" on Bryant's arrest photo in the first 19 days it was posted, seven times the number of hits on Allen Iverson's mug shot over that span, editor Bill Bastone said.
While the Bryant case is a debacle for him and the NBA, the actual damage -- especially long term -- cannot be assessed until he goes to trial, if there is a trial.
Although Bryant can play for the Lakers while the charge is pending, it would seem unlikely he would participate in training camp and the early part of the season if he is fighting for his freedom in a Colorado courtroom.
Bryant is due in court Wednesday, after which a timetable should become clearer. Whether he is eventually exonerated or incarcerated, Bryant will one day make a return to the court.
"If anything, I would expect the first Laker game to draw the biggest ratings for a regular-season game in a long, long time," Cuban said. "No one wants to see these things happen, but the reality of our world today is that this will help the business of the NBA, not hurt it."

Sunday 09 November 2008
It's hard not to feel energised by the euphoria surrounding Barack Obama's win. But what is the likelihood of anyone on this side of the Atlantic rekindling our interest in British politics? Zero, I would say. Commentators talked about the "Brown bounce" after Labour unexpectedly won a by-election in Scotland last week, but most of us remain profoundly turned off by politicians and the platitudes they spout. To be blunt, there are very few MPs and even fewer cabinet ministers who are able to connect with ordinary men and women in the way Obama does.

by Michael Woodford
(Penguin, £20)
Michael Woodford was once a corporate golden boy. Having started as a salesman at a subsidiary of the Japanese conglomerate Olympus 30 years ago, he had climbed the ladder so high that his life was spent at 38,000 feet in "the sanctuary of the first-class cabin".
Last year, the Liverpool-born businessman was named president and later chief executive of Olympus. This made him one of only four "gaijins" (foreigners) running major Japanese corporations, and alone among them in being a loyal salary-man.
Aptly, though, his promotion went through on April Fools' Day. For Exposure is the tale of how Woodford went from newly-appointed boss to whistleblower fearful for his life in just six months. An angry memoir with as much suspense as most thrillers, he rightly suggests his story has the hallmarks of a John Grisham novel.
When Woodford took the helm, Olympus had some 40,000 employees and more than 70 per cent of the world's medical endoscope market, but it was heavily indebted. Three months later, his concerns grew exponentially, when a damning article appeared in a Japanese magazine, Facta. The author alleged that Olympus had spent "hundreds of millions of dollars on inexplicable transactions relating to the acquisition of strange and unlikely takeover targets".
These "Mickey Mouse" businesses included a face-cream maker, a producer of microwave dishes and a recycling company. None had ever made money. They were simply being used to flush losses off Olympus's balance sheet.
As Woodford — a man of integrity — began to investigate the deals and started to interrogate the other Olympus executives, he was promptly fired in a boardroom coup. Feeling forced to flee Japan, he nonetheless continued his battle to expose the corruption at the heart of the company from his Essex home, a move which saw him dubbed "the Southend Samurai" by one British newspaper.
This fight came at a huge personal cost: Woodford's marriage suffered and he was warned he was at risk of being poisoned. The loneliness of the whistleblower is also evident: "You become an island... Generally speaking you remain like Robinson Crusoe, or Tom Hanks talking to a basketball." This makes Woodford's dogged determination not to let the bad guys win seem not just laudable but heroic.
The Olympus scandal is a complex story with a huge cast of characters: it's a blessing there is a Dramatis Personae list at the start of the book. It's also a tale that has the seriously unsexy subject of corporate governance at its heart. Yet Woodford manages to tell it in a way that even those without much knowledge of business should find easy to follow and enjoyable to read. Unlike many other authors who have escaped this world, Woodford doesn't over-write: the few similes he uses (his boss Tsuyoshi Kikukawa is described as looking like Dr Evil in one press photograph) never feel forced.
Occasionally, Woodford gets bogged down in his gratitude to the few who did support him: some of the thank yous belong in the afterword, not in chapters, and his comparisons with Animal Farm also seem over-egged.
But these are rare complaints. Woodford has written a brilliantly gripping book, with a great hero at its heart. His story is all the more frightening for being true.

More construction firms could be banned for alleged cartel
9 Jul 2014 Flash News
THE PUBLIC Procurement Office (ÚVO) is to decide on whether to ban more construction companies involved in a 2004 cartel agreement in the public tender for the D1 highway from future tenders. Firms Skanska and Inžinierske Stavby are among those which could join the companies from the cartel that are already banned from public procurement, Doprastav and Strabag, the Sme daily wrote on July 9.
The state has already closed most of the tenders featuring the companies from the cartel agreement and has granted the orders to more expensive bidders. The move could affect the construction of a section of the expressway between Zvolen and Pstruša, for which Skanska offered the lowest bid. The ban from public procurement, which could be valid for 3-5 years, will not prevent subsidiaries and parent companies from participating in future tenders, Sme wrote.
The Antirtrust Office (PMÚ) and the Supreme Court decided that Doprastav and Strabag participated in a cartel in the tender to build the D1 section between Jánovce and Jablonov 10 years ago, the TASR newswire wrote. The companies whose fates are to be decided in the coming days are Skanska, Inžinierske Stavby, Mota-Engil and Betamont, as confirmed by ÚVO spokesman Ján Mažgút on July 8.

Haitian women receive breast cancer support, care
In Haiti, as in many other developing countries, women rarely seek medical help for cancer until it's too late. newsamericamedia.org
Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Having breast cancer here often means no care at all, or care that's too costly for any common person to afford, or a lot of initial missteps.
"I felt something in my breast that hurt," recalled a woman who asked to be identified only by her first name - Merlyn.
She's a big woman in tight braids, with a tough look on her face and a forceful way of speaking. But, she admitted, she was scared.
The lump grew so large that it broke through her skin. Her clothes couldn't cover it. Local doctors were no help.
Merlyn eventually got referred a clinic run by Haitians and Americans from Partners in Health, a medical charity that has launched a new push to fight cancer.
Preparing for the fight
In the little Haitian town of Cange, Partners in Health's sister organization - known in the local language (Kreyol) as Zanmi Lasante - runs a clinic.
The clinic, led by Dr. Sara Stulac, has been setting up cancer treatment rooms, lining up supplies, and training workers on cancer issues. They are focusing on breast and cervical cancers - the most common cancers among Haitian women.
Dealing with breast cancer in a place like Haiti takes effort and compromise.
The effort starts with the patients. When Merlyn showed up at the clinic with advanced breast cancer, she got a mastectomy. Now every two weeks she takes a 12-hour trip on one of Haiti's creaky and overcrowded buses to get to the clinic for chemotherapy.
Merlyn said she is bucking what her neighbors tell each other.
"If you get cancer, people say you're going to die because there's no treatment for it," she explained. "They say even if you see a doctor, you won't find a solution."
The breast cancer statistics for women like Merlyn are grim particularly because women come in late, or not at all.
"I don't have a definite number, but I can say that it's very bad," said Dr. Ruth Damuse, who is heading the oncology efforts at Zanmi Lasante. "Like half of the women, they will die."
Reaching out
Dr. Stulac said for a medical charity like hers, focusing on cancer means getting organized. "You do have to make sure that you have access to advice, to diagnoses, to medications."
And patients need some sort of social support system to help them get to the hospital. That is no small order in countries with bad roads - or no roads.
With patients coming in so late, diagnosis and treatment often fail, so last year the Haiti medical workers received training in how to use painkillers and provide other comfort care for people dying of cancer.
Help from Abroad
For medical advice, the clinic in Haiti relies on experts at the renowned Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, headed by Dr. Lawrence Shulman.
One woman had had a mastectomy last fall, but the cancer returned. Shulman suggested a different kind of chemotherapy.
Another young woman had a breast lump removed. In the U.S., lumpectomies generally require weeks of daily radiation treatments after the surgery, but Zanmi Lasante doesn't have any way to administer radiation. So Shulman suggested a full breast removal.
"She needs to go back and have a mastectomy," Shulman said over the phone. "Then she needs five years of tamoxifen."
The tamoxifen costs just pennies a day, affordable even in Haiti. And there are other opportunities to keep costs down. In Haiti - for unknown reasons - breast cancer mostly hits women in their 20s and 30s, and mammography does not work well in women this age, so Zanmi Lasante doesn't offer it.
Cancer surgery, chemotherapy, and aftercare can be costly, however. Partners in Health provides all of this for free and relies on donors to finance it.
Making cancer a priority
"I think some people would say we shouldn't [tackle cancer], but the fact is people are suffering and dying," said Dr. Stulac. "We can't save all of them, and we can't save the same group of patients with the same group of diagnoses that we can in the U.S., but there is so much suffering that we can avoid, and there are so many cancers that we can treat."
People used to say that AIDS drugs were too costly and too difficult to deliver in developing countries, yet millions of people with HIV in places like Africa and Haiti are now being saved. Stulac said there's no reason that can't happen with cancer.

Semiconductor device
Image Number 13 for
United States Patent #6849900
A semiconductor device includes: a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type; a semiconductor layer of a first conductivity type formed on a first main surface of the semiconductor substrate, the semiconductor layer including a first region for a cell portion and a second region for a terminating portion, the second region being positioned in an outer periphery of the first region, the terminating portion maintaining breakdown voltage by extending a depletion layer to relieve an electric field; junction pairs of semiconductor layers periodically arranged so as to form a line from the first region to the second region in a first direction parallel to the first main surface in the semiconductor layer and having mutually opposite conductivity types of impurities, each of the junction pair being composed of a first impurity diffusion layer of a second conductivity type formed from a surface of the semiconductor layer toward the semiconductor substrate and a second impurity diffusion layer of a first conductivity type formed from the surface of the semiconductor layer toward the semiconductor substrate and adjacently to the first impurity diffusion layer; a base layer of a second conductivity type selectively formed on each surface layer of the junction pairs which are formed in the first region, so as to connect with the first impurity diffusion layer and the second impurity diffusion layer in the same manner; a source layer of a first conductivity type selectively formed on each surface layer of the base layers of the second conductive type; a control electrode formed above each surface of the base layers and above each surface of the source layers via an insulating film; a first main electrode formed so as to cover the control electrode and to contact the source layers and the base layers in the same manner; and a second main electrode formed on a second main surface opposite to the first main surface of the semiconductor substrate.

Weekly Poll
|Carnival Chief steps down
|Monday, 01 July 2013 15:32
The immobilised 'Carnival Splendor' adrift approximately 150 nautical miles off San Diego following an engine room fire in 2010
Cruise magnate Micky Arison has resigned his role at Carnival Corporation, after more than 30 years at the helm.Naming board member Arnold Donald his successor from July 3, Arison will remain chairman and the company's largest shareholder.
"I have been discussing this with the board for some time now and feel the timing is right to align our company with corporate governance best practices and turn over the reins after 34 years as chief executive," Arison said in a statement.
Several Carnival vessels have also been plagued with problems in more recent times, with the 'Carnival Triumph' immobilised in the Gulf of Mexico following an engine fire, cutting on board electricals and sanitation.
The constant stream of crises has taken its toll on the company's reputation. According to Bloomberg BusinessWeek, the company has "seen its bookings for this year fall behind 2012 levels, even as its cruise fares have moved lower in a bid to win back wary travelers."
Though Carnival's nine other brands remain unaffected, with Holland America, Princess, and Costa all recording stronger bookings over last year and despite higher prices, the "biggest hitch in this math is that Carnival is the company's largest US brand, with the most inventory to sell", the news agency concluded.
