If you're used to watching United's first team you could be forgiven for being a bit confused by the club's U21s and U18s. It would be normal to assume that United would prepare players for the first team by replicating the system the first team play but on the whole, that's not the case.
Even having signed Kagawa in the summer, the first team still predominantly turn to width for inspiration rather than playing through the middle. Further still, unlike many of league and European competitors, Ferguson continues to favour playing two strikers on the pitch, even if one drops a bit deeper at times – it's very rare to see five midfielders starting a game.
By contrast, below the first team United tend to set up quite differently. Unless a forward is used wide, like Joshua King often was, it's a case of one striker with five midfielders and minimal natural width. Part of this is down to the resources available but also, one wonders if it's a route the club are looking to take long term. Is this an insight into how the first team could be lining up in a few years?
At present, the U18s contains very technically gifted players, those who flourish when given a free role and who if they start wide will drift infield. Players such as Mats Daehli, Jack Barmby and Adnan Januzaj fall into that category. When you add Andreas Pereira, there's a huge emphasis on playing through the middle. This has its pros and cons. It makes for intricate, neat, quick passing football that the football fraternity seem to think is the way forward right now but it can be one dimensional and the team relies heavily on fullbacks to provide any width.
At Academy level United are lucky, they're blessed with players that can unlock a defensive with a moment of genius and in Barmby and Wilson they have pace on the counter. Still, the two natural wingers in the squad barely get a look in – Gorre is to be released and Willock is very young and yet to feature in a game this season. With 46 goals scored in 20 competitive games so far this season, playing a system where creativity comes from the middle rather than out wide hasn't been a hindrance at all – in fact only one team has kept a clean sheet playing against them. At U21 level it's a similar story but maybe a problem is more evident.
The U21s have scored 45 goals in 24 games including a seven goal haul against Oldham, but have failed to score four times. Most recently, last night, a Wolves side with 10 men for 80 minutes kept them at bay quite comfortably. With Brady sold in January, van Velzen is the only winger and since returning from loan over a month ago, he's played just once from the bench. Those who are picked to play in the wide areas, usually Cole and Lingard, are generally more effective centrally – it's a case of square pegs in roundish holes.
Whilst the first team often soak up pressure and break, the U21s tend to control games, usually deep in the opposition's half – a good thing you might assume but it has its pitfalls. Games can get congested with players getting in each other's way and opponents getting plenty of men behind the ball. This does suit the nature of the players the club are producing though – Rene's impact on the coaching side has bred players with a much greater emphasis on control, skills and intelligence than ever before. It's seen at both U18 and U21 level United use one holding midfielder, one all rounded box-to-box midfielder and one with a free role; whilst the wide players also have license to find the space.
What does it all mean? United's purchase of Zaha suggests that width will continue to play a part in the future although even he's not a conventional winger. Kagawa's purchase hinted at a possible change in system used but to date that's rarely been evident. If players turn out to develop well enough and do come through to the first team, it'll be fascinating to see the long term plan. Fitting in a Daehli or a Januzaj looks difficult right now, we're somewhat struggling with Shinji as it is, but maybe there will be a change coming with United's future being based on central flair rather than wide flair. If our kids are anything to go by, the football will at least be exciting to watch.

That would be fun to watch.
Good piece. I don't think d 2-striker system will change as it could correct d problem of midfielders getting in each other's way, but I'm sure d creativity on d wings n down d middle will. Kagawa being made to play different roles myt mean an adaptive process whr he won't b operating from his 'favored' role, but will hv 2 make out d space there. Meaning the time of traditional wing play myt soon b over. Exciting times ahead

New report reveals a $502.6 billion climate-themed bond universe
LONDON - July 17, 2014 (Investorideas.com renewable energy stocks newswire) The Climate Bonds Initiative today launches its 2014 market sizing report "Bonds and Climate Change: the state of the market in 2014". The report was commissioned by the HSBC Climate Change Centre of Excellence.
The report finds that:
The report is the only one that attempts to estimate of global flows of bond finance towards climate solutions. This includes the much-publicized labelled Green Bonds market ($35.8bn) as well as a broader market of bonds whose proceeds are used to finance climate solutions but are not labelled as such.
The labelled Green Bonds market has grown rapidly since the 2013 iteration of this report from approximately $7bn to $35bn outstanding. Growth started in the latter half of 2013 and was driven by the first Green Bond issuance from corporations. This growth has continued in 2014 with approximately $20bn issued in 2014 to date. The report explores key trends and areas for future growth in this market.
The broader climate-themed universe is an indicator of where future bonds might be labelled. In this universe, the transport theme is dominant; partly due to the fact that rail (which makes up the majority) is a mature technology and therefore well suited to bond finance. Rail is seen as a low-carbon transport, essentially to reducing use of short haul aviation and fuel-based vehicles
Sean Kidney, CEO of the Climate Bonds Initiative says "Investors are concerned about climate change. This report shows how they can invest in climate bonds without risk. The investment opportunities we find are safe and secure investment grade bonds. This is a Dull Green Market – just how pension funds and insurance funds like it."
Report co-author, Bridget Boulle adds "In the coming year we will see growth in labelled Green Bonds from municipalities, cities and corporate issuers. We expect increasing demand from investors signed up to the Principles for Responsible Investment and the Global Investor Coalition on Climate Change."
The report also explores emerging trends and opportunities for investors within this rapidly-changing space and identifies where new innovative issuance may originate over the next year.

Mike Gazzaniga '61 and ???
Mike Gazzaniga '61 was recently in Europe for a Continent-wide speaking tour that culminated in a presentation at the Vatican on cognitive neuroscience's current understanding of free will. Following the Pontificia Accademia delle Scienze, Mike was greeted by Pope Benedict XVI.
The most recent Dartmouth Alumni Magazine contains a lengthy profile of Gazzaniga, with a particular focus on his efforts to improve the legal system's understanding and use of modern discoveries in cognitive neuroscience.
In 2007 the MacArthur Foundation created a law and neuroscience project; its directors from that date until 2011 were Gazzaniga and another Dartmouth superstar, philosophy professor Walter Sinnott-Armstrong. Regrettably for the College, Gazzaniga now teaches at UC Santa Barbara, and Sinnott-Armstrong is at Duke.
This space has admired Gazzaniga for a long while; his speech a few years ago at the dinner for the College's 2011 honorary degree recipients is an elegant summary of the wide-ranging relevance of the liberal arts.
Addendum: The DAM also excerpted a section of Mike's new book, Who's in Charge?: Free Will and the Science of the Brain.

A Montessori Approach to Student Success
How East Dallas Community Schools is closing the achievement gap and equipping students with the skills necessary to succeed in the 21st century.
In May 2012, Laura graduated from Tulane University with a B.A. in Political Economy. While at Tulane, Laura brought her Youth Venture project, Swim 4 Success, to New Orleans, LA, and was a founding member of Tulane's Ashoka U Changemaker Campus team. As a member of the Empathy Initiative, Laura manages the Changemaker Schools network, a group of schools that have given empathy as much priority as math and literacy. Laura is passionate about changemaker education, empathy, and transforming early childhood education.
Thirty-five years ago, a group of parents and teachers in East Dallas came together to make a change in their community. The neighborhood apartments were infested with rats and roaches, the neighborhood park was full of glass, and there was nowhere safe for children to play. After finding success in dealing with these problems, the group identified access to high quality education as a root problem to the challenges their community faced. Together, they dreamed up a program that started much younger than first grade, involved parents actively, and was founded in the whole-child Montessori approach; the team created East Dallas Community Schools.
Fast forward to 2012: East Dallas Community Schools has just opened its third campus. The evidence of parent support is everywhere: they run the carpools, greet the children in the morning, and help escort them to class. They also work with Executive Director Terry Ford, School Director Tom Loew, and other administrators and teachers about the big issues they want to tackle together in the community, including immigration and job training. According to Ford, this deep respect for all human beings, especially parents and children, is a key part of the network's success.
Another component of the network's success is the outstanding leadership of Ford, who was there from the beginning as part of the school's founding team. After teaching first grade and watching her students fall through the cracks when they reached later grades, Ford facilitated the parent and teacher discussions that led to the vision for East Dallas Community Schools. Over the network's 35 year history, Ford has orchestrated a Montessori curriculum and school culture that is closing the achievement gap for students.
The Montessori approach is clearly working for East Dallas Community Schools students. According to the network:
"In a neighborhood where less than half of entering freshmen graduate from high school, 95% of East Dallas Community School third graders go on to earn their high school diploma, with 89% of those graduates attending college."
This is not the only designation of which the network is proud. In 2011, East Dallas Community Schools received a nationally prestegious award from the American Psychoanalytic Association for support of children's emotional well-being. By meeting student emotional and academic needs, as well as involving parents as changemakers, East Dallas Community Schools is closing the achievement gap and revolutionizing education.

PAWTUCKET – Virtually every time Tolman High meets Mount St. Charles on the diamond, Tigers' mentor Theo Murray mentions his personal history with the Woonsocket Catholic school.
It seems back in 1992, when Murray represented Shea as a standout senior third/first baseman, his Raiders held a precarious lead over the Mounties in the R.I. Division II Tournament losers' bracket final. In the end, however, MSC prevailed with a late rally, 7-6, eliminating Shea from a berth opposite Westerly, the eventual state champion.
EAST PROVIDENCE – Tolman High erupted for five runs in the second and three more in the third, eventually coasting to a 10-0 mercy-rule triumph over West Warwick in the rubber game of a best-of-three R.I. Division II Tournament semifinal set at Pierce Field on Saturday afternoon.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆō Visitors to City Hall are noticing that the building is a bit brighter and a little more colorful thanks to the ŌĆ£Beyond BarriersŌĆØ art gallery exhibit on display.
Through August, the city is celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the 40th anniversary of the founding of VSA arts Rhode Island, as a gallery showcasing works created by local artists with disabilities adorns the second-floor walls at City Hall.
PAWTUCKET – As an outstanding, three-sport athlete at Tolman High School in the early 1990s, Joey Wilson often would peer into the stands during the heat of competition, secretly hoping his mom and dad would surprise him by being there, witness him carry the pigskin into the end zone or hit a fastball over the fence.
It didn't happen, and it both hurts and irks him to this day.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆō When Pawtucket Police Detective Linda Bachand-Jackson is not busy being a policewoman, thereŌĆÖs a good chance sheŌĆÖs running a marathon somewhere ŌĆō in costume.
Bachand-Jackson has gotten a lot of attention for the crazy getups sheŌĆÖs worn en-route to the finish line, decked out as Abe Lincoln, Princess Leia from ŌĆ£Star Wars,ŌĆØ or one of those hairy dudes in hunting camouflage from ŌĆ£Duck Dynasty.ŌĆØ
But the 20-year police veteranŌĆÖs Newport 10 Miler went national when she ran the June 7 race wearing a white wedding dress, just a few hours before she tied the knot for real.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆō In celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the 40th anniversary of the founding of VSA arts Rhode Island, the Pawtucket Arts and Culture Commission this afternoon will showcase works created by local artists with disabilities during an exhibit at City Hall.
Mason Williams is now a major-league outfielder for the New York Yankees, a move the team made official on Thursday.
The 23-year-old native of Pawtucket put himself on the radar by batting .318 with a .397 on-base percentage along with a .795 OPS. Serving as the leadoff hitter for both Double-A Trenton and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Williams has stolen 13 bases in 54 games.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆō A Providence man was charged with first-degree sexual assault and possession of a stolen motor vehicle after allegedly coercing a woman into sexual acts after leading her to believe that her boyfriend had been kidnapped and was being held for ransom, police said.
On Monday, Pawtucket Police received a complaint from a 19-year-old woman who said she was sexually assaulted. According to the woman, she was in Providence with a man identified as 48-year-old Roosevelt White of Providence.
PROVIDENCE – Lt. Governor Daniel J. McKee and a group of municipal leaders including Providence Mayor Jorge Elorza and North Providence Mayor Charles Lombardi went back before the media on Tuesday to decry what they contend is another legislative move to restrict a community's management of its fire department costs.
WARWICK – This time, Tolman was determined not to let Warwick Vets back in the game.
Peter Microulis spun seven innings of two-run ball and came through with a clutch base hit as the Tigers held off the Hurricanes, 6-2, in the Division II Regional Pod I playoffs on Tuesday. The win places Tolman in the driver's seat as either Warwick or West Warwick will have to beat the Tigers twice in order to advance to the Division II finals.
LINCOLN ŌĆō All five full-time firefighters for the Lonsdale Fire District have been laid off indefinitely after an emergency meeting by the Board of Fire Wardens Saturday night.
The decision was made after it was determined that the district only has about $14,000 remaining in the bank, not enough to pay its five career firefighters and run the station.
ŌĆ£You canŌĆÖt continue to run a payroll if you donŌĆÖt have money to pay with,ŌĆØ Town Administrator Joseph Almond said.
Almond insisted that this will not alter public safety in any way.
CUMBERLAND – Once again, Cumberland junior Chris Wright lived up to his billing as ace of the pitching staff.
Wright tossed six shutout innings on Monday as the Clippers advanced to the Final Four portion of the Division I tournament courtesy of a 4-0 win over Central at Tucker Field. The victory enabled Cumberland to clinch the Regional Pod IV portion of the tournament.
PROVIDENCE ŌĆō Graduates from Central Falls High SchoolŌĆÖs class of 2015 during their commencement exercises Saturday were implored find their Warrior spirit, prove what a Warrior is, and inspire the next generation of Warriors.
More than 150 graduating seniors, or Warriors ŌĆö the moniker of the schoolŌĆÖs athletic teams ŌĆö clad in red and blue caps and gowns, made their way into Roberts Hall at Rhode Island College Saturday afternoon, led by a procession of flags representing 28 countries, which displayed the diversity seen in the class of 2015.
PROVIDENCE – Just as it had in a previous regular-season game on May 18, St. Raphael Academy allowed Moses Brown to pounce to a quick advantage during Sunday's R.I. Division II Tournament winners' bracket semifinal at Rhode Island College.
PAWTUCKET – Fittingly, it was a few minutes after high noon on Sunday when the epic pitcher's duel between Tolman High's Steve Otis and West Warwick's Tom Doran reached its conclusion.
After the two traded zeros for seven full innings, Otis stepped to the plate in the bottom of the eighth and ripped an RBI double to deep center field to claim a 1-0 walkoff win for the Tigers in their Division II/Region I tournament preliminary at Ted McConnon Memorial Field.
PAWTUCKET – Just call them the No-Quit Lady Clippers.
Less than 24 hours after surviving a grueling 18-17 contest Cranston West, No. 6 seed Cumberland was asked to once again rally, this time against third-seeded Tolman in a Division I winners' bracket contest. Down 6-1 in the top of the fifth inning on Saturday morning at Slater Park's Bailey Field, the Clippers scored six times in the frame and added three runs in the seventh to prevail by a 10-6 count.
In their latest undercover narcotics probe, R.I State Police mined a vein of a fentanyl-laced heroin ŌĆō the deadliest narcotics cocktail on the street ŌĆō that ran straight through northern Rhode Island.
More than a dozen individuals were arrested on heroin-related possession and distribution charges after the month-long investigation, most of them from Central Falls. Two were from Woonsocket, one from Pawtucket and one each from East Providence and Providence. Another, also from Central Falls, was arrested on cocaine-related related charges.
CUMBERLAND – With two outs in the bottom of the sixth, junior Kat Kent ripped a triple to right-center, and scored on sophomore Emily Anderson's timely two-bagger to deep center, to lift Cumberland High to a seemingly-safe 18-12 lead.
The Clippers didn't know it at the time, but that proved to be the clinching run during a wild 18-17 win over Cranston West in a R.I. Division I Tournament preliminary game at Tucker Field on Friday.

The increasing cost of public equity
Frank Quattrone, the former CSFB investment banker who has an interesting perspective, notes a dynamic of the now almost decade-long criminalization of business that I have been warning business owners and lawyers about for quite some time now -- the increasing cost of public equity:
[W]hy did [public offerings] disappear in the first place?
One reason is the heightened bar for small companies to go public, Mr. Quattrone said. Throughout his career, he said, some of the greatest companies he was associated with had $30 million to $50 million in revenue when they went public. Today, he said, bankers require companies to have $100 million or even $200 million in revenue.
Part of the underappreciated societal impact of prosecutors such as those on the Enron Task Force implementing the criminalization of business lottery is that the days of small companies tapping public equity for relatively cheap venture capital are gone. Moreover, the supply of executives who are willing to work for public companies is smaller because many of the best and the brightest simply do not consider the risk of operating in the public domain worth the draconian downside. The result is that investment alternatives for investors in public markets are declining.
Not exactly a policy to encourage economic revival, now is it?
Update: Along the same lines, Larry Ribstein reviews the destruction of public equity wealth in regard to AIG that resulted in no small part from Eliot Spitzer's machinations. It's a risk that I first noted in regard to AIG way back in early 2005. When will we learn?
Posted by Tom at August 7, 2009 12:01 AM |
Closely correlated to the criminalization of business management, don't forget that the requirements and costs associated with a publicly traded firm's SarbOx compliance are way out of line with a typical small company's revenue levels.
As a result, there's been a small-company IPO explosion in London over the past several years, as capital-seeking smaller firms have directed their efforts to a jurisdiction that does not impose SarbOx-like rules on public companies.
It has has been estimated that SarbOx compliance alone has cost the American economy hundreds of billions of dollars since its enactment, and to no good end.
Posted by: Steve Tessem at August 7, 2009 8:47 AM
Excellent point, Steve, and a valuable one to to keep in mind as Congress embarks on its next round of regulatory reform. In this particular case, the medicine is worse than the disease.

New Zealand (Aotearoa) has two main populated islands, the North Island and the South Island. It is relatively thinly populated, especially in the south island. Much of New Zealand is mountainous and of volcanic origin. The remote Chatham Islands have a distinct legislative status.
Main languages: English, Maori
Main religions: Christianity (various)
According to the 2001 Census, the main minority groups include Maori 526,281 (14.7%) and Pacific Islanders 231,801 (6.5%). The majority of the New Zealand population is of European origin. Maori are Polynesians who settled in New Zealand from the eleventh century. Since the early 1960s there has been migration from the Pacific, especially Polynesia, to New Zealand, and more recently significant migration from Asia. Between 1991 and 2001 the proportion of those identifying as Asian grew from 3 per cent to 6.6 per cent, surpassing the population of Pacific Island descent (6.5%).
New Zealand was not settled until around the eleventh century when there was significant migration from eastern Polynesia. The Maori culture largely developed in isolation from other Polynesian cultures and European influences. By the start of the nineteenth century traders had sought to exploit New Zealand's natural resources and missionaries had begun to evangelize the tangata whenua (the people of the land). There was considerable settlement before New Zealand officially became part of the British Empire in 1840.
The Treaty of Waitangi was signed in February 1840 by the Lieutenant-General-Elect Captain William Hobson and many of the major Maori chiefs; this treaty acknowledged Maori ownership of the land. However, the treaty did not prevent unscrupulous practice by Europeans seeking to obtain more land, and consequent violence. Maori disillusionment and anger at subsequent white responses to the treaty have underlain all, and especially the more recent, attempts to gain greater self-determination and power. The increasing demand of white settlers (Pakeha) for land led to considerable conflict throughout much of the nineteenth century, especially in the North Island. Sporadic contact in the 1840s was followed by the New Zealand wars of the 1860s in the central and west coast areas of the North Island. Disease, violence and displacement greatly reduced the Maori population and by the 1890s their numbers had declined to about 40 per cent of the pre-contact population size.
During the nineteenth century New Zealand developed as a mining and increasingly agricultural economy, in which the sheep industry dominated. Despite the displacement of Maori the white population grew slowly. Maori men were granted the vote in 1867 and in the same year received four special seats in the House of Representatives. The Maori population began to grow again but at a slow rate. Depressions in the 1880s and 1930s slowed economic and population growth. Between 1945 and 1970 the annual rate of population growth increased significantly following a higher birth rate and considerable immigration.
Historically, after the Polynesians, most migration to New Zealand was from the United Kingdom but the sources of migration became more diverse in the years after the Second World War. Immigration reached a peak in the late 1950s, when more than half of all migrants were from the United Kingdom and most others were from northern Europe. From the 1960s onwards other Polynesian migrants became a significant migration stream, especially from the New Zealand territories of Niue, Tokelau and the Cook Islands, and from Samoa and Tonga. In the last two decades there have been significant migration flows from eastern Asia, in some part a response to perceptions of a brain drain from New Zealand to Australia since the two countries formed Closer Economic Relations (CER) and removed immigration restrictions between them.
The most serious health, housing, educational and welfare service problems are associated with non-English-speaking migrants from the Pacific, rather than migrants from Europe or Asia. Indo-Chinese refugee settlers have experienced problems, especially in access to employment; a small number have migrated onwards to Australia.
In 1993 a new nationalist party, New Zealand First, was founded, in part to oppose perceived high levels of migration from Asia. Under its charismatic leader, Winston Peters, a part Maori, it also challenged the Waitangi Tribunal (see below), but its overall electoral success was limited and it lost the Maori parliamentary seats it gained at the first attempt in 1996. The flow of Asian migrants declined somewhat at the start of the twenty-first century with changing immigration criteria, some anti-Asian political rhetoric and some adverse publicity in the People's Republic of China concerning crime rates in New Zealand.
New Zealand is a constitutional monarchy, where there has been limited pressure for a republic. There is a single parliament, which has generally been dominated by two main parties: the Labour Party and the National Party. Because of the proportional representation system there are many minor parties and seven seats are reserved for Maori electors. Four of these are currently held by the Maori Party, which was founded in 2004 in response to the passing of the Foreshore and Seabed Act in November 2004, which effectively extinguished this native title, leading to extensive public protest.
Issues attendant on reconciliation between white settlers and the Maori community are examined by the Waitangi Tribunal, which was created by an Act of the New Zealand Parliament in 1975. The Tribunal allows the retrospective resolution of grievances. Its findings are not legally binding but the recommendations are generally respected by society.
Through the policy of biculturalism, and the practice of the Waitangi Tribunal, New Zealand governments have sought to enable Maori development. Maori tribes (iwi) have developed programmes for local development, but have often lacked the land and capital to implement them; much less attention has been given to the more intractable problems of urban Maori.
Obtaining redress from the government for the wrongful invasion and confiscation of land has been a slow and bitter process. Changing Maori political and cultural strategies have drawn attention away from difficulties experienced by other migrant groups, especially Pacific Islanders. Biculturalism has meant little to other minorities, mainly Asian groups, who have also sometimes been disadvantaged. In 2002 the government officially apologised to the Chinese community for historic grievances, especially the imposition of a poll tax that the first wave of Chinese migrants had endured at the end of the nineteenth and start of the twentieth century. Following reconciliation and consultation processes a NZ$5 million grant was provided for a Chinese Heritage Trust Fund.
Current state of minorities and indigenous peoples
Recent election campaigns have often involved the rights and 'special treatment' of minority groups, and the particular position of Maori continues to be debated in a range of contexts. The cultural renaissance of Maori has received a mixed reception from other New Zealanders, while affirmative action programmes to redress educational and social disadvantage have been more contentious, especially where Maori and Polynesian islander youth are over-represented in crime statistics. The opposition National Party has tended to focus on giving priority to 'mainstream' New Zealanders but who constitutes this group is debatable. The establishment of a Maori Party has given a new focus to Maori issues and ensured that they are frequently debated. Appropriate support services for new migrants have been lacking, and skilled migrants have taken up unskilled positions. Asian and Muslim migrants have experienced some hostility.
The popularity of the racist New Zealand First Party, at its zenith in 1996, appears to have waned (it won 5.72% of support, garnering seven seats in Parliament in the 2005 elections). However, hostility has been reported towards Asian, and particularly Muslim immigrants, with vandalism of mosques in the aftermath of the 7 July 2005 bombings in London. In 2006, there were police calls for Muslim women wearing the burqa to be banned from driving – a move that sparked a public debate on issues of national identity and tolerance.
The New Zealand government sent a clear message on its recognition of the status of Maori and Pacific Islanders by becoming one of only four countries to oppose the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples in September 2007. New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark defended the decision, saying the Treaty of Waitangi and common law already protected New Zealand's indigenous peoples' right to lands, territories and resources they have traditionally owned or used. Maori leaders meanwhile claimed they were 'ashamed and outraged' by the decision.

Resisting arrest charge dropped in Houston, Adrian Peterson says
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
Adrian Peterson's nightmare in Houston apparently is over.
The Minnesota Vikings' star running back told ESPN on Tuesday prosecutors have dropped the resisting arrest charge stemming from his July arrest at a Houston nightclub.
The Houston Police Department claimed Peterson, 27, shoved an off-duty officer who was working security for the Live! at Bayou Place nightclub and trying to clear out patrons at closing time early on the morning of July 7.
He had been charged with resisting arrest, a Class A misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail and a $4,000 fine. But Peterson and his attorney, Rusty Hardin, vigorously denied Peterson was the aggressor.
Making a whirlwind media tour, Hardin also claimed Peterson was struck in the face twice for no reason. The case was reset several times and another hearing had been set for this week.

ROGERSVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Hawkins County officials say a project that would widen Highway 11-E appears dead for lack of funding.
The project, planned for about 15 years, would widen the highway to four lanes from Morristown and the Interstate 81 interchange in Greene County.
The Kingsport Times-News reported Hawkins County officials were told by the TDOT earlier this month there is no money to pay for the project. Hamblen County officials became aware of the delay when they discovered the project had been included in a state program for streamlining or eliminating road projects.
Hawkins County industrial developer Lynn Lawson met with Transportation Commissioner John Schroer on Jan. 7 and later said the project isn't off the board. However improvements in the near future would be limited to improving intersections for safety.

PepsiCo's Khan Challenges Conventional R&D Wisdom
At the Beacon Lecture on Tuesday afternoon, Mehmood Khan, M.D., Chief Executive Officer, Global Nutrition Group, and Chief Scientific Officer of PepsiCo, discussed the global food landscape from food policies, obesity, and food production to waste, water usage, and population growth, and how the food industry and food science can solve present and future challenges.
"The food industry has saved more lives and helped humanity more than any other profession," said Khan. But it is also under attack from several groups for things like water usage, pesticides, additives, and obesity, he noted. Food policies following World War II, when many young men joining the armed services were undernourished and underweight, encouraged the production of safe, affordable, and convenient food. "We did what society and the government wanted us to do," stated Khan.
Today we have an imbalance in our food system with 1 billion hungry people and 1 billion overweight people on our planet, noted Kahn. "We added 1 billion people in the past 10 years and our population will rise from 7 billion to 9 and a half billion by 2050. We will have to increase our food production by 50% to meet the demand. Otherwise, mass starvation will lead to mass conflict between village to village, state to state, city to city, and country to country," declared Khan.
Americans eat about 2.5 servings of fruits and vegetables today and the government recommends that we eat 4–5 servings, reported Khan. "We would have to increase our fruit and vegetable production equivalent to what the State of California produces today in order for Americans to eat the recommended amounts."
In Africa, Asia, and India, about 40% of the food is lost through spoilage or the inability to preserve and transport it. In North America and Europe, about 40% of the food is thrown away. "If we could save half of the food that is thrown away, we could feed 1 billion more people without any more resources, such as land or water," declared Khan.
Solving these problems will require a different way of thinking, stated Khan. For example, Khan located his engineering center in Delhi, India, so that they could gain a new perspective on these and other food issues. For example, in large cities in developing countries, the road infrastructure is poor and PepsiCo delivery trucks spend a large amount of time sitting idle in traffic jams, wasting fuel and energy. And this will only get worse. By 2050, 70% of the global population will live in cities. There will be 50 megacities of populations of 20 million or more and 49 of those cities will be in developing countries, noted Khan.
Khan referred to the traditional practice of bringing foreign scientists to the United States to learn about our way of doing things as "historical arrogance." Young scientists in the U.S. need to go overseas to learn and understand the culture and problems and the resources available to overcome these challenges," declared Khan. He pointed to an example of a six-minute Pepsi marketing video that was produced inexpensively in Shanghai that was seen by 750 million people in its first 100 days. "If it were produced here, it would have cost us a couple more zeros following the 750 number," joked Khan.
2 Responses to "PepsiCo's Khan Challenges Conventional R&D Wisdom"
Dr Khan has hit the nail exactly on the head with words "1 Billion on hunger and ! billion over weight".
To-days need nutritious & Healthy food for all.There are customs , practices and myths in every society the way they make food.Let the best of all be taken people in R & D.
Simple example , SE Asia produces huge quantities of Rice, but are the least users of Rice bran oil, which is considered best in terms Fatty acid combinations by W.H.O.
Pepsi co which is marketing many food stuff in these countries , may also add rice bran oil as cooking medium,with its marketing capabilities.
Mr. Khan's comments point out the huge contradictions and imbalance in the worlds food supply. Add to this the huge amounts of money spent in the developed country's on food safety, allergen cleans & sanitation, which are important, where as developing countries can afford very little food per capita much less afford to worry about it's safety. Where is the balance? What is the balance? What is the Solution?

Wnt signaling is implicated in many developmental decisions, including stem cell control, as well as in cancer. There are relatively few target genes known of the Wnt pathway.
We have identified target genes of Wnt signaling using microarray technology and human embryonic carcinoma cells stimulated with active Wnt protein. The ~50 genes upregulated early after Wnt addition include the previously known Wnt targets Cyclin D1, MYC, ID2 and βTRCP. The newly identified targets, which include MSX1, MSX2, Nucleophosmin, Follistatin, TLE/Groucho, Ubc4/5E2, CBP/P300, Frizzled and REST/NRSF, have important implications for understanding the roles of Wnts in development and cancer. The protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide blocks induction by Wnt, consistent with a requirement for newly synthesized β-catenin protein prior to target gene activation. The promoters of nearly all the target genes we identified have putative TCF binding sites, and we show that the TCF binding site is required for induction of Follistatin. Several of the target genes have a cooperative response to a combination of Wnt and BMP.
Wnt signaling activates genes that promote stem cell fate and inhibit cellular differentiation and regulates a remarkable number of genes involved in its own signaling system.
There is currently great interest in using extracellular signaling proteins to influence the gene expression program and differentiation of embryonic cells, in particular embryonic stem cells. Of the factors that contribute to specifying cell fate during development, Wnt proteins are among the most attractive candidates to use in such in vitro experiments. Wnt proteins control numerous aspects of development, ranging from stem cell control to differentiation and cell polarity [1,2]. It has been problematic however to test directly whether Wnt proteins can be used as reagents in cell culture, because working with soluble Wnt proteins is difficult and few cell lines are known to respond to Wnt proteins. Wnt signal transduction proceeds through a complex series of protein interactions, initiated by binding of the Wnt protein to cell surface receptors (Frizzled and LRP [3-5]) which generates a signal to downstream components. A key event in signaling is the regulation of the GSK3 protein kinase and its substrate β-catenin. In the absence of a Wnt signal, GSK3 phosphorylates β-catenin, which then becomes targeted for degradation [6]. The binding of Wnt to its receptors initiates a cascade of events that inhibit GSK3 and ultimately prevent degradation of β-catenin. Together with the DNA binding protein TCF, β-catenin activates expression of Wnt target genes. In this work, we have identified Wnt target genes using micro-array technology.
Identifying Wnt targets on microarrays
We tested human teratocarcinoma cells (NCCIT) cells for a Wnt response. Despite the cancerous origin of these cells, they share many properties with embryonic stem cells [7]. These cells express several members of the Frizzled family (including FZD7), one of the receptors for Wnt (data not shown; Figure 2A). To stimulate the NCCIT cells with Wnt, we used tissue culture medium containing active Wnt-3A protein produced by mouse L cells (Wnt-3A CM [8]), in comparison to control conditioned medium (CCM). In initial experiments, we found that Wnt-3A protein elevates the levels of β-catenin 5–10 fold (Figure 4); and that a transiently transfected TCF reporter construct is activated 3–4 fold (not shown).
Figure 1. Microarray cluster analysis demonstrating increased expression of Wnt-3A responsive genes, including MSX1, MSX2, ID2, Versican, NPM, Frizzled-7, TLE/Groucho, Cyclin D1, and MYC. NCCIT cells were exposed to control conditioned medium (CCM) and Wnt-3A CM [8] for 4 hours. Shown here are 5 separate experiments. Note also that MSX 2 is included on this particular array in duplicate which provides an internal check on the precision of the measurements. Additional array experiments led to the identification of Follistatin and REST/NRSF as elevated genes (which were confirmed in Figure 2A). Brightest red corresponds to ratio of = 2:1 and dimmer red corresponds to ratio of 2:1. The full data set will be available at the Wnt homepage http://www.stanford.edu/~rnusse/wntwindow.html webcite and the Stanford Microarray database http://genome-www5.stanford.edu/MicroArray/SMD/ webcite
Figure 2. A) Confirmation of microarray data using Northern analysis. Northern blot analysis using MSX2, ID2, REST/NRSF, FZD7 (Frizzled7) and Follistatin cDNA probes. NCCIT cells were treated with CCM (-) or Wnt-3A CM (+) for the designated number of hours. 1 ug mRNA was loaded into each lane. GAPDH is shown as a sample loading control. B) MSX1 induction by Wnt-3A CM is dependent on the presence of soluble Wnt-3A protein. C = CCM. Wnt = Wnt-3A CM. Wnt-depleted = Wnt-3A CM. Cells were incubated with the various media for 4 hours.
Figure 3. Time course of Wnt induced gene expression and cooperation with BMP. NCCIT cells were exposed to Wnt-3A CM, BMP-4 (10 ng/ml final concentration) or the combination of Wnt-3A and BMP-4 for the specified number of hours. Shown here are MSX1, MSX2 and ID2 demonstrating that Wnt-3A induced effects are not seen until 2 hours (which corresponds to β-catenin accumulation). BMP-4 mediated induction of MSX1, MSX2 and ID2 occurs rapidly, as early as 30 minutes and stays relatively constant. Cooperative effects of Wnt-3A and BMP-4 are not evident until approximately 2 hours. The height of the bars presents the ratio induced/non-induced, quantified by phosphoimager analysis of Northern blots and normalized to GAPDH expression measured in the same experiment. Each bar represents average values obtained from 3–5 experiments for each mRNA tested.
Figure 4. A) Western blot demonstrating cycloheximide effects of Wnt-3A mediated accumulation of β-catenin. NCCIT cells were stimulated for 4 hours with CCM (C) or Wnt-3A CM (Wnt) in the presence (20 microgram/ml) or absence (0) of cycloheximide. Note that β-catenin does not accumulate in response to Wnt-3A CM when cycloheximide is present. B) Northern analysis demonstrating that MSX2 induction by Wnt-3A is abolished in the presence of cycloheximide. Cells were stimulated for 4 hours with CCM (C), BMP-4 or Wnt-3A CM (Wnt) in the presence (20 microgram/ml media) or absence of cycloheximide. As expected, BMP-4 mediated induction of MSX2 is not affected by cycloheximide which contrasts with the inhibition of Wnt-3A mediated induction of MSX2 in the presence of cycloheximide. GAPDH was used to verify equal loading. The inhibitory effect was also seen for MSX1, ID2, Follistatin, Versican and Cyclin D1 (not shown).
To identify target genes, we applied Wnt-3A CM or CCM to the NCCIT cells and isolated RNA at several time points. We performed differential hybridization to microarray slides containing approximately 23,000 spots of human cDNAs, using RNA from CCM-exposed cells as a reference. Figure 1 shows a cluster analysis of the hybridization results. We found approximately 50 genes that were upregulated between 2 and 10 fold by Wnt-3A CM whereas a few genes were repressed, i.e. expressed at lower levels in the Wnt-3A-treated cells. The latter group consisted mostly of ESTs of unknown genes and has yet to be characterized.
We verified Wnt-induced expression of several genes with Northern blots (Figure 2). In all cases tested, we confirmed the increase observed in the microarray; in some cases we found even higher differences in expression. For example, MSX2, ID2, REST/NRSF, FZD7 and Follistatin were confirmed by Northern analysis to be significantly elevated by Wnt-3A CM after two hours (Figure 2A).
None of these genes was induced by the CCM, suggesting that they are Wnt-specific. It remained possible however that the observed changes in gene expression were influenced by other differences between Wnt-3A CM and CCM. For example, Wnt-3A could have induced the expression of another secreted factor in the mouse L cells which would then be present only in the Wnt-3A CM. We addressed this possibility by specifically removing active Wnt-3A from the conditioned medium, using a combination of the ligand binding domain of the Drosophila Wnt/Wingless receptor Frizzled-2 fused to Alkaline Phosphatase [3,9] and Wnt-3A specific antibodies. This procedure specifically depleted active Wnt-3A from the medium. As expected, neither β-catenin levels nor a TCF reporter gene were elevated by the depleted CM (not shown). The depleted medium also failed to induce MSX1, MSX2, ID2 and CyclinD1 expression as assayed by Northern blots (Figure 2B shows loss of MSX1) and in a DNA microarray analysis with CCM as a reference (not shown). Similarly, adding Dickkopf protein, an inhibitor of Wnt signaling that binds to the co-receptor LRP [10], to the medium abrogated the transcriptional response (data not shown). We conclude that the transcriptional response to Wnt-3A CM is indeed controlled by the Wnt-3A protein rather than by other factors.
Cooperativity between Wnt-3A and BMP
Several of the Wnt target genes had been identified previously as targets of BMP signaling [11]. We were therefore interested in comparing the effects of BMP and Wnt-3A and examining their combined effects. As has been reported before for other cells [11], MSX1, MSX2 and ID2 are elevated by BMP-4 in NCCIT cells (Figure 3). When Wnt-3A and BMP-4 were combined, gene expression was increased to yet higher levels. MSX1 expression was markedly elevated by the combination of BMP-4 and Wnt-3A. Similar but less dramatic effects were found for ID2 and MSX2 (Figure 3). Hence, BMP-4 and Wnt-3A appear to have an additive or perhaps synergistic effect on target gene expression. However, when the time courses of Wnt- and BMP-induced gene expression were compared, it appeared that BMP-4 acts as soon as at 30 minutes, but that Wnt takes 2 hours to have an effect (Figure 3). Hence, Wnt-induced changes in gene expression are slower than BMP, even on the same target genes and in the same cell type.
Wnt signaling is blocked by cycloheximide
The delay in transcriptional response to soluble Wnt raised the concern that the genes we identified might not be primary targets of Wnt but dependent on the prior induction of other genes. Such concerns are usually addressed by blocking protein synthesis in cells because the expression of primary target genes, or so-called immediate early genes, should not be sensitive whereas secondary targets should be blocked. This approach is not readily applicable to the Wnt response because the critical step in signal transduction is the block in β-catenin phosphorylation and degradation, leading to the accumulation of newly-synthesized β-catenin. Whether Wnt target gene activation is cycloheximide sensitive has never been tested however. When we incubated cells with cycloheximide, the accumulation of β-catenin by Wnt-3A was blocked; and Wnt targets, like MSX2, were not elevated (Figure 4). The inhibitory effect was also seen for MSX1, ID2, Follistatin, Versican and Cyclin D1 (not shown). In contrast, cycloheximide did not block induction of target genes by BMP (Figure 4), the mechanism of which does not involve protein accumulation [12]. These findings underscore the importance of β-catenin protein elevation in the response to Wnt. This unique aspect of Wnt signaling may explain its relatively slow effects on target genes – protein synthesis is slower than protein phosphorylation or other signal transduction events.
The requirement for protein synthesis in Wnt signaling means that we cannot use cycloheximide sensitivity as a criterion to discriminate between primary and secondary targets.
The Follistatin promoter is dependent on a TCF binding site
In the Wnt target gene promoters that are functionally mapped (MSX1, MSX2, ID2, ID3, Follistatin, REST/NRSF, Versican) we invariably found TCF binding sites. Moreover, we found that a luciferase reporter gene, placed under the control of the Follistatin promoter, was activated by Wnt-3A protein added to transiently transfected NCCIT cells (Figure 5). Mutating the single TCF binding site on the Follistatin promoter eliminated the response. These data suggest that Follistatin is activated directly through the Wnt signal transduction pathway and not by another pathway. Because the kinetics of Follistatin activation by Wnt are similar to that of the other target genes (Figure 2A), we suggest that there are no "earlier" targets, i.e. all identified targets are direct.
Figure 5. Response of a reporter containing the Follistatin promoter to Wnt-3A protein in NCCIT cells [37]. The Follistatin promoter [36] contains one putative TCF binding site (CTTTGAT). This promoter linked to luciferase was transfected in NCCIT cells, which were then exposed to Wnt-3A CM and CCM for 8 hours. This assay showed a significant increase in activity when cells were stimulated directly with Wnt-3A CM or co-transfected with activated β-catenin (not shown). This effect was abrogated by co-transfection of dominant-negative TCF-4 or axin (not shown). When the TCF site within the Follistatin promoter was mutated into CATCGAT, the Wnt-3A response was abolished.

Who is Mr. Library Dude?
Hi, I'm Joe Hardenbrook. I work as a reference and instruction librarian at Carroll University in Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA where I manage reference and instructional services, teach information literacy sessions, supervise the evening/weekend librarians, and serve as a liaison to the education, graduate education, music, psychology, and diversity programs.
Previous library experience includes a stint at University of Wisconsin-Green Bay as an instruction and reference librarian, at Southern New Hampshire University as reference coordinator and information literacy librarian, at Millikin University as library instruction coordinator and educational technologist, and at Sam Houston State University, where I was a reference librarian and instruction coordinator. In addition, I've taught college-level courses in podcasting, first-year seminar, and information and library science.
I've worked in libraries since 1998. I received my MLS from Indiana University, and a B.A. in history from Ball State University. When not in "libraryland," I'm an aspiring shutterbug and traveler–I often blog about that too.
Why Mr. Library Dude?
Simple answer: it's a name that has stuck! A few years ago, while teaching a library instruction session, one of the students needed help. However, he forgot my name, so he yelled out: "Hey, Mr. Library Dude!" It fit, so I decided to adopt the moniker.

In the first room I was given, the toilet flush wasn't working. I moved to another, with very filthy bathroom, smell of tobacco smoke and someone's dirty clothes left in the wardrobe. The bed linen wasn't the cleanest, either. Toilet paper was provided only after asking for it. Water in the toilet was constantly dripping. Altogether, very poor. Luckily the weather was good, so I stayed out of it most of the time.

Saturday, September 3, 2011
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — The August jobs report was dismal for plenty of reasons, but perhaps most striking was the picture it painted of racial inequality in the job market.
Black unemployment surged to 16.7% in August, its highest level since 1984, while the unemployment rate for whites fell slightly to 8%, the Labor Department reported.
"This month's numbers continue to bear out that longstanding pattern that minorities have a much more challenging time getting jobs," said Bill Rodgers, chief economist with the Heldrich Center for Workforce Development at Rutgers University.
Black unemployment has been roughly double that of whites since the government started tracking the figures in 1972.
