Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
Return to Kuwait: The class of 1990
27 Nov 2012 15:39 GMT | Sport, Football, Italy, Serbia, Singapore
Italian police said on Tuesday they have arrested Serbian footballer Almir Gegic, who has been wanted since June 2011 for alleged involvement in a widespread match-fixing case.After more than a year on the run, Gegic turned himself in. On Tuesday, police released a video of his arrival at Milan's Malpensa airport late Monday.Gegic was brought to a jail in Cremona, where prosecutor Roberto Di Martino's match-fixing inquiry is based. More than 50 people have been arrested so far and more than 100 are under investigation.Gegic was allegedly a link between the fixing ring's base in Asia and Italian footballers. He was charged with criminal association and sports fraud and could be interrogated by the end of the week.Gegic played for Vicenza in Italy from 1998-2000. He also played for some Turkish clubs, and was most recently with Chiasso in Switzerland from 2007-11."The magistrates have done a great job. They've uncovered all of the fixed matches - at least the ones I bet on," Gegic told the Gazzetta dello Sport in an interview before leaving Serbia which was published on Tuesday.
Gegic said that another wanted alleged fixer, Hristyian Ilievski, is also nearly ready to turn himself in."He's tired like I am,'' Gegic told the Gazzetta.
Gegic added that lawyers advised not turning himself in when the case opened last year, and that he had travelled to and from Italy without problem over the past year and a half."They see me as a mafioso, but I never personally fixed matches or threatened anyone," Gegic told the Italian sports newspaper.
"They see me as a mafioso, but I never personally fixed matches or threatened anyone"
Almir Gegic
"Now I hope to clear everything up. I want to put this case behind me."The Cremona case, along with related inquiries in Bari and Naples, has resulted in multiple clubs handed point penalties over the past two seasons.It resulted in a four-month ban for Antonio Conte, the coach of Italian champion Juventus, for failing to report fixing when he coached Siena two seasons ago. Also, former Atalanta captain Cristiano Doni was banned from football for 5 1/2 years and former Lazio captain Giuseppe Signori was arrested.Prosecutors have detailed an extensive match-fixing ring stretching as far as Singapore and South America that was allegedly in operation for more than 10 years.
"In Singapore it's possible to bet $20,000 on live Serie A matches. Every click is worth $20,000. In 20 minutes you can make a huge amount of money," Gegic told the Gazzetta.
"And the over odds rise if there are no goals. That's why often in the phone taps it was asked to keep the score at 0-0 as long as possible."You need to have a lot of players involved to do that. But if you've got someone ready to put 10 million on the table for a match, don't you think they would do everything to be sure of the result?" Gegic said.
"Sport betting is a worldwide plague. I don't know how it could be stopped."Italy has only recently recovered from the 2006 match-fixing scandal - known as Calciopoli - that resulted in Juventus being relegated to Serie B for a season, plus point penalties for several other Serie A teams and long bans for club and refereeing officials.

The UFC on Fox 8 fight card is nearly full, gaining its eleventh bout on Friday.
Strikeforce import Trevor Smith will make his promotional debut at UFC on Fox 8, stepping into the Octagon with UFC veteran Ed Herman. UFC officials on Friday announced the middleweight bout.
Smith (10-3) enters the Octagon with a lot to prove. He went 3-2 during his Strikeforce tenure, which is respectable, but he has lost two of his last three fights, including his most recent bout.
Tim Kennedy submitted Smith in the third round of their fight at the final Strikeforce event, which took place earlier this year in January.
Herman (20-9) has been fighting in the UFC since 2006, making his way to the promotion via the third season of The Ultimate Fighter reality series.
After missing all of 2010 due to a knee injury, Herman returned with a fury, reeling off three consecutive victories. He then lost a unanimous decision to Jake Shields at UFC 150, but that fight was eventually ruled a no contest due to Shields testing positive for an illegal substance that was not publicly identified.
Herman's last trip to the Octagon didn't fair any better, losing via a Kimura submission to Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza, another Strikeforce transplant.

MUMBAI The BSE Sensex and Nifty edged higher on Friday, gaining for a fourth consecutive session, after Tata Consultancy Services' better-than-expected earnings sparked a rally in IT stocks and offset global concerns about the downing of a Malaysian airliner in Ukraine.
The Nifty rose 2.7 percent for the week, recovering some of its 3.8 percent fall last week when investors reacted with disappointment over the lack of major reforms in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's maiden budget on July 10.
Trading is expected to be dominated by corporate earnings in the near term, with investors also expected to pay close attention to global factors after a Malaysian plane was shot down in eastern Ukraine, stoking tensions between Russia and the West.
Foreign investors have been an integral part behind the Nifty's 21.6 percent gain so far this year. Overseas investors bought shares worth 19.12 billion rupees ($317.7 million) on Thursday, bringing their total investment in Indian shares so far to $11.45 billion, exchange and regulatory data showed.
"We are into the earnings season and there could be stock-specific moves. Markets would be largely news driven. There are geo-political concerns, but we still believe its a buy-on-dips market for quality stocks," said Jagannadham Thunuguntla, head of research and chief strategist at SMC Global Securities.
The BSE Sensex ended 0.31 percent higher at 25,641.56. The index gained 2.5 percent this week.
The broader Nifty also gained 0.31 percent to 7,663.90.
Technology shares were leading the gains, with IT index of the NSE ending 1.3 percent higher after TCS' consolidated net profit for the three months to June 30, rose to a stronger-than-expected 50.58 billion rupees ($840.5 million) from 39.87 billion rupees a year earlier.
Shares in TCS gained 2.5 percent, Wipro Ltd (WIPR.NS) ended 1.8 percent and Infosys Ltd (INFY.NS) added 0.4 percent.
Among other gainers, lenders further extended their winning streak after the RBI on Tuesday exempted long-term bonds raised for the infrastructure and affordable housing sector from reserve requirements.
The Bank Nifty gained 6.5 percent this week, the best weekly gain in eight, after falling 7.1 percent in the previous week.
IDFC Ltd (IDFC.NS) rose 2.9 percent, ending up 10.3 percent for the week, ICICI Bank Ltd (ICBK.NS) gained 2.1 percent, while Axis Bank Ltd (AXBK.NS) ended 2.1 percent higher.
Shares of non-banking financial companies, which take gold as collateral, surge after the central bank issued draft guidelines for those seeking a license to set up a payments banks or a small bank.
Muthoot Finance Ltd (MUTT.NS) surged 3.6 percent, while Manappuram Finance Ltd (MNFL.NS) ended up 3.1 percent.
Bucking the trend, power equipment makers and energy stocks fell. Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL.NS) ended 1.9 percent lower, while Tata Power Co Ltd (TTPW.NS) ended down 2.5 percent and NTPC Ltd (NTPC.NS) closed 0.5 percent lower.

Market giving another opportunity to lighten commitments: expert
With the Nifty breaching 8,500, sentiments are again bullish. But markets have been in the 8,200-8,600 range for some time and stocks across the board do not give the required confidence except for the liquidity factor. Many frontline stocks are not participating on the upside and the core sector is in a downtrend, writes Ambareesh Baliga. Column

Dan Carter undecided on sabbatical option
First five keeps options openRICHARD KNOWLER
Related Links
Relevant offers
The notable absence of Richie McCaw as the Crusaders trained in sun-baked Culverden instigated the inevitable question for Dan Carter yesterday.
With Carter having a sabbatical clause in his New Zealand Rugby Union contract, should supporters treasure the sight of him in Crusaders colours before he follows McCaw's lead and takes a complete break from next year's Super Rugby competition?
Should first five-eighth Carter choose to bypass his Crusaders obligations in 2014 it would allow him to freshen up ahead of the 2015 World Cup, something All Blacks coach Steve Hansen would undoubtedly support.
Carter has several options: he can completely ditch his rugby gear for six months or look to bolster his bank balance by signing a lucrative contract in Europe or Japan.
Before he skipped the Crusaders' campaign in 2009 to join French club Perpignan, Carter signalled well in advance he was open to the prospect of playing overseas.
But with his wife, Honor, expecting their first child in April and Hansen last year acknowledging Carter is considered a "red flag" player - someone whose workload needs to be carefully managed - the idea of taking a complete break from the sport may hold more appeal.
"I just want to get through this year and concentrate on the here and now without looking too far ahead," Carter said.
"Whether I even use my sabbatical I am not sure - and even if I do decide to do it, it's whether I decide to take a break from rugby like Richie has and freshen up or try my hand at another rugby competition.
"It's something for the future and not on my mind at the moment."
Last month NZRU chief executive Steve Tew hinted centre Conrad Smith may skip next year's Hurricanes campaign to rest his body, and given his value to the All Blacks as they begin planning to defend the World Cup, Carter may be encouraged to do the same.
In 2011 Carter and McCaw re-signed with the NZRU for another four years but their commitment came with strings attached.
Although his move to Perpignan was a nice fit for Carter - even though he appeared in only a handful of games before rupturing his Achilles tendon - that may no longer appeal.
The physical grind of playing in France is unlikely to give his body the respite it requires ahead of a World Cup and even the big-ticket clubs may struggle to afford the salary that Carter's management team demand.
Toulon could be an option if Jonny Wilkinson leaves at the end of the northern season but a number of other clubs have already filled their rosters.
Clermont coach Vern Cotter, who got to know Carter when he assisted Robbie Deans at the Crusaders in 2005-2006, was interested in signing him but the club's owners may consider his price tag too hefty.
Racing Metro are chasing Ireland's Jonny Sexton and Perpignan have already got Wales' James Hook on their books.
Carter, who expects to play the opening round match against the Blues on March 1, acknowledged the new addition to his family would also have to be considered when he decided whether to take a break or head offshore.

The level of outright position-taking in US exchange-traded oil derivatives contracts has largely fluctuated in a normal range based on historically relevant benchmarks, according to a report by Edhec Risk.
Because many aspects of the global oil markets have not been sufficiently transparent, it was unclear how much of the oil-price rally that peaked in July 2008 could be put down to speculation.
This uncertainty has led to concerns that there was excessive speculation in the oil derivatives markets.
On 20 October 2009, the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission released three years of enhanced market-participant data for 22 commodity futures markets in its new Disaggregated Commitments of Traders report.
With this report, Hilary Till, research associate with the Edhec-Risk Institute, was able to examine whether the balance of outright position-taking in the exchange-traded oil derivatives markets has been excessive relative to hedging demand during the past three years.
The paper finds that using a traditional metric for evaluating speculative participation, the level of outright position-taking in US exchange-traded oil derivatives contracts has largely fluctuated in a normal range based on historically relevant benchmarks.

Load testing, perhaps more than any other form of testing, is one of those activities that you either choose to do well or risk a result that leaves you worse off than not doing it at all. Half-hearted attempts at load testing yield "results," but too often those results are inaccurate, leading to a false sense of security for anyone who trusts them. This, in turn, leads to the release of applications that are not adequately tested and that experience performance problems soon after entering production.
I was reminded of this not long ago, when I worked with a customer who related an experience that may sound familiar to many of you. This customer was a test engineer for a bank that had recently merged with another bank, effectively doubling their customer base. He was part of a team responsible for load testing a new web application that would serve customers from both of the original banks. Before the application was rolled out, they performed load tests and confirmed that the application could handle the expected number of users with acceptable response times. When the system went live, however, it was slow as molasses - even under user loads less than what the team had tested.
The problem, as you may have guessed, was that the team had not accurately modeled the load. The virtual users used in the testing were a homogenous group that interacted with the system in roughly the same way, from roughly the same geographic locations, at the same network speed. In reality, the customers who came from Bank A tended to perform certain transactions much more frequently than those who came from Bank B. Most of Bank B's customers lived in a different part of the country than those from Bank A. More important, customers from both banks were accessing the application at widely differing connection speeds across a range of browsers. None of these factors were modeled accurately in the load tests the team had performed. In some cases it was because the team simply had not considered them, in others it was because the load testing tool they were using provided no way to handle these differences. In either case, the result was the same; the team had given the "go live" signal to an application that was not ready, basing their decision on inaccurate load test results.
Too often, organizations take a short cut to load testing. They are focused on a single number: how many concurrent users their application will support. As a result they put little effort into script development, and they end up with an unrealistic test - one of little value. I encourage all load testers to think beyond the concurrent users metric and take a closer look at other factors that go into creating a realistic load that will yield more accurate results, including:
- Modeling user activity
- Modeling different connection speeds
- Modeling different browsers and mobile devices
- Modeling geographically distributed users
Parameterizing Scripts to Better Model User Activity
Scripts that simply record a typical user's interaction with a web application and then play it back are not going to yield accurate performance data. As an example, a script that emulates a user logging into a site, searching for a product, placing it in the cart, and checking out does little to test the performance of other user activities such as checking product reviews, accessing detailed specifications, or comparing products.
More important, if the script always logs in as the same user and orders the same product, caching effects will often skew the performance measurements, making response times shorter than they would be under a real-world load. Caching on the web server, application server, and database server all come into play, compounding any caching that is done on the client side.
To minimize caching and similar effects, scripts must be parameterized. In my example above, the script would play back different users searching for different products, and purchasing them via different methods. Ideally the script would use randomization or data customization to fill in every user editable or selectable element on each form of the web application. This script parameterization, combined with creating multiple scripts to address a variety of user interactions, produces a much more realistic user load, and it's a good idea to have a load testing tool that simplifies these tasks.
Generating a Load with a Mixture of Connection Speeds and Network Characteristics
Many testing teams use the fastest available network connections when load testing a server. The belief is that if the application performs well under those connections, it will be guaranteed to work well in production when many real-world users will have slower connections. This is a faulty assumption that leads to performance problems when the application is subjected to real-world users accessing it at a variety of network bandwidths.
Testing with only high-speed connections can mask performance problems that occur only when lower speed connections are used. Slower data speeds will require connections to the server to stay open longer, and eventually the server may reach its limit for the maximum number of open connections.
Of course, testing with only low-speed connections is equally problematic. What's needed is a reasonable mixture of virtual users accessing the server at connection speeds representative of everything from 56K modems for dial-up users to T3 lines.
With more and more users accessing the web via mobile devices, it makes sense to include 3G and 4G connection rates in the mix as well. It's also important to take into account disparities in signal strength that can cause packet loss and increased network latency. Built-in support for incorporating these factors in performance testing is increasingly important, particularly for web applications that serve a high percentage of mobile users.
Emulating Different Browsers and Native Mobile Apps
Interestingly enough (and often surprising to some), not all browsers support the same number of concurrent HTTP connections. This obviously needs to be thought of as well - if a load test models the entire user population accessing a web application with a single browser that supports four connections per server, it neglects the effects of browsers that use twice that number.
This leads to a situation similar to the one that arises with inaccurate modeling of connection speeds - with more concurrent connections, it is not unusual to see slowdowns as a server reaches its limit for simultaneous connections. To minimize these effects, load tests should apply a variety of browser profiles during playback, so that the tests identify the traffic as originating from a realistic mixture of different browsers, including mobile browsers.
Mobile devices, in fact, present a new set of challenges for load testers (see Best Practices for Load Testing Mobile Applications, Part 1 and Best Practices for Load Testing Mobile Applications, Part 2), aside from the network connection issues I've already covered. Many companies now have a separate mobile version of their site, with content tailored specifically for mobile users. Again, to perform a valid load test on such sites, a test engineer must be able to override the browser identification during playback so that the virtual user appears to be using a mobile browser.
What about native mobile applications? There is no browser involved, so you'll need a testing solution that can record, parameterize, and play back the network traffic originating from the mobile device. For some cases this can be done via a proxy, but for some apps this is not an available option. These apps may call for a tunneling approach in which the testing tool acts as a DNS server. Even if you're not facing this situation today, you may want to see if your testing tool supports this feature so you're prepared when you do need it.
Generating a Geographically Distributed Load
Unless your end-user community is accessing your application from a single location, initiating tests solely from inside your datacenter is unlikely to represent a realistic load. Such tests fail to take into account the effects of third-party servers and content delivery networks that may sit between your users and your web application.
Using the cloud to generate load as part of your testing can better model a geographically distributed user base, one that may include users from around the world, enabling test engineers to generate realistic, large-scale tests across multiple regions. Cloud testing complements internal, lab-based tests and ideally test scripts from one domain are reused in the other. With separate performance metrics for each geographic region in hand, engineers can see where performance issues are likely to arise on a region-by-region basis.
If users are accessing your web site from all over the world, load testing from the cloud helps you model that reality. When this capability is combined with tests that incorporate parameterized scripts, browser differences, support for mobile apps, and a variety of connection speeds and network effects, you can trust the accuracy of your test results.
Mobile, social, Big Data, and cloud have fundamentally changed the way we live. "Anytime, anywhere" access to data and information is no longer a luxury; it's a requirement, in both our personal and professional lives. For IT organizations, this means pressure has never been greater to deliver meaningful services to the business and customers.

Celebrity birthdays today, Nov. 15; and: Milli Vanilli revealed
Lisa Legge Posted by llegge on 2012-11-15 08:26:53 tags: Photo
Milli Vanilli's jig was up on this day in 1990, when model-dancers Fabrice "Fab" Morvan and Rob Pilatus' producer 'fessed that the duo had lip-synched their concerts and recordings (including, deliciously: "Girl, You Know It's True".) Fans became suspicious when the Europeans' speaking English fell short of their singing English. A few technical glitches, one during a TV performance, provided proof.
The pair lost their Best New Artist Grammy, but apparently kept their sense of humor, lip-synching opera music for a bubble gum ad in 1988. Sadly, Pilatus died of an overdose soon after.

Coast Of Carolina Lyrics
Artist: Jimmy Buffett
Album: License to Chill
Little roadside restaurant we artfully complain
Groovy tells the waitress that his chicken died in vain
Most every day goes by according to design
I live this dream and still it seems I have you on my mind
From the bottom of my heart
Off the coast of Carolina
AFter one or two false starts
I believe we found our stride
And the walls that won't come down
We can decorate or climb
Or find some way to get around
Cause I'm still on your side
From the bottom of my heart.
I can't see the future
But I know it's coming fast
It's not that hard to wind up knee-deep in the past
There come alot of Mondays
Since that phone booth that first night
Years and miles and tears and smiles
I wanna get it right.
[Music Bridge]
These days I get up about the time I used to go to bed
Living large was once the deal
Now I watch the stars instead
They're timeless and predictable
Unlike most things that I do
I tell the wind and my old friend
I'm headed home to you.

Alignment Supplies, Inc. Announces New ALiSENSOR LEVEL, The First iPad Geometric Measurement System.
Greg Knitz, President of Alignment Supplies, Inc., announced today the North American launch of the ALiSENSOR LEVEL, a revolutionary new system designed for super-accurate geometric measurements. "The ALiSENSOR LEVEL is ideal for a spectrum of geometric measurement uses, in applications of all levels of complexity," said Mr. Knitz. Of particular note is the technology of the ALiSENSOR platform, which is known as Industrial MFi (Made for iPad), a groundbreaking integration of the iPad and other iOS devices into industrial-grade tools and equipment. Not only does the Industrial MFi platform offer users the ability to work with the iPads, iPhones, and iPods that they already enjoy, but also opens up a new sphere of industrial uses that can now be performed with the full range of Apple's best-selling iOS devices. "The best part," adds Knitz, "is that making use of the existing iOS devices means that the R&D and production costs have been radically diminished. This enables us to offer the complete ALiSENSOR LEVEL system at a quarter of the price of other geometric measurement systems, making this the first next-generation, wireless measurement system that is finally affordable enough for everyone." Slated to retail at about $2500 (without iOS unit), the ALiSENSOR LEVEL is expected to be an instant hit with machinists, technicians, and operators to whom precision measurements are an essential need in production.
The ALiSENSOR™ LEVEL system consists of a sensor unit and an iOS unit (iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch). The ALiSENSOR™ LEVEL sensor unit is a complex but rugged data collector that contains MEMS gyros, accelerometers, and a microprocessor. Data of angular and translational movements are provided via Bluetooth® to the iOS unit, which provides an unsurpassed user friendly environment for the operator to analyze the data. Typical measurement applications to be performed with the ALiSENSOR™ LEVEL are: straightness, level, inclination, and base flatness, with the accuracy required by precision machine workshops.
The ALiSENSOR™ LEVEL is supported with a dedicated App (Application), downloadable for free from the App Store, which guides the user throughout the measurement. The ALiSENSOR™ LEVEL hardware will be supported by several free Apps that can use the functionality of the hardware to implement different types of measurements. New Apps designed for use with the ALiSENSOR™ LEVEL will soon be available for use in measurement applications such as: flatness, squareness, parallel, milling machines, lathes, and more. Any update of the Apps will also become automatically available, free of charge, to customers' iOS units.
The ALiSENSOR™ platform is developed by GLOi AB, a pioneering company in the Industrial MFi sphere headquartered in Mölndal, Sweden. GLOi AB was founded by Nils Andersson, a recognized luminary of the laser alignment industry, who originally founded both Fixturlaser AB and Damalini AB, two of the biggest laser alignment and measurement companies in the world. Andersson, along with R&D / Embedded Systems Director Ali Chitsaz and a full team of Technical Design and Development veterans, have embraced the exceptional opportunities and possibilities of designing products directly for use with Apple's iOS devices. GLOi AB has targeted industrial product development under the "Made for iPad" program, custom developing and manufacturing hardware dedicated for the iOS platform. GLOi AB handles the whole development cycle from original idea to a finished product, featuring all the key industry standards including mechanical, software, and embedded systems design.
The ALiSENSOR™ LEVEL also incorporates several high-end features to its impressive slate of capabilities, including the ability to select from a wide range of measurement units, self-calibration of the ALiSENSOR™ LEVEL for measurement with new or special fixtures, and even reports that are instantly created with all data from the measurement including the resulting graph. The user can also input complementary information (user, location, measurement object, etc.) about the particular setup. The ALiSENSOR™ LEVEL also possesses the ability to include a photo of the measurement object (taken with the built-in camera of the iOS device) directly in the report. The report file can be easily shared like other files on any iOS device - via email, mms, and even services such as Dropbox. "The ALiSENSOR™ LEVEL is a truly revolutionary new product," said Knitz, "and an extraordinary value. Never before has a geometric measurement product had so much functionality and ease-of-use at such an accessible price."
