Pepe Reina shows off some great skill in Liverpool training at Fenway Park
Pepe Reina is on Liverpool's tour of the USA and it remains to be seen whether the Spaniard has a future at Anfield.
Last season, Reina spent the whole campaign on loan at Napoli under former Liverpool boss Pepe Reina.
Despite being heavily linked with a return to Barcelona over the past year or so, the Catalans do not seem interested in Reina and Napoli are also looking for a new first team keeper.
It would be a surprise were Reina to have returned to take over from Simon Mignolet in the Liverpool goal and the Spanish international is unlikely to be content with sitting on the bench.
For now though, expect to see Reina on the USA tour, with Mignolet on holiday after World Cup duty.
In training on Tuesday, Pepe Reina pulled off some great skills on Jose Enrique – who did not appear to be watching – captured by The Redmen TV, video above.

G.Skill Trident PC3-16000 6GB DDR3 Memory Kit
Test System Setup
Processor(s): Intel i7 920 @ 4GHz (200MHz x 20)
Cooling: Noctua NH-U12P (Supplied by Noctua)
Motherboard(s): GIGABYTE EX58-UD5 (Supplied by GIGABYTE)
Graphics Card(s): ASUS GTX 285 (Supplied by ASUS)
Hard Disk(s): Western Digital 300GB Velicorapter (Supplied by Western Digital)
Operating System: Windows Vista SP1 64-Bit
Drivers: ForceWare 185.65
Today we'll be seeing how the G.Skill kit goes against a number of other kits at different speeds. The main comparison we'll be looking at is the G.Skill kit against the Corsair one. The difference between the two kits is the timings; the G.Skill one uses a more relaxed 9-9-9-24 setup while the Corsair one uses a more aggressive 8-8-8-24 setup.
We'll find out what kind of edge these timings give the Corsair kit. The other thing we have to remember is that the Corsair comes in at $329 versus $149.99 which is what the G.Skill kit comes in at over at Newegg.
With that all said and done, let's get stuck into the benchmarks and find out what exactly we have going on with the memory we have today.
Version and / or Patch Used: 1.62
Developer Homepage: http://www.wprime.net/
Product Homepage: http://www.wprime.net/
wPrime uses a recursive call of Newton's method for estimating functions, with f(x)=x2-k, where k is the number we're sqrting, until Sgn(f(x)/f'(x)) does not equal that of the previous iteration, starting with an estimation of k/2. It then uses an iterative calling of the estimation method a set amount of times to increase the accuracy of the results. It then confirms that n(k)2=k to ensure the calculation was correct. It repeats this for all numbers from 1 to the requested maximum.
Across the board we can see that all memory kits sit quite close together with no major difference being seen.

Belarus invites Qatari businessmen to invest in transport projects
Fri, 09/09/2011 - 13:29
MINSK, 9 September (BelTA) – Belarus has invited companies of Qatar to partake in big investment projects in the transport industry, BelTA learned from the press service of the Belarusian Transport and Communications Ministry.
Joint projects have been discussed at the recent meeting between Transport and Communications Minister of Belarus Ivan Shcherbo and Qatari businessmen.
At the meeting Ivan Shcherbo spoke about the structure of the Belarusian transport complex and stressed that the ministry is ready to do its utmost to promote cooperation. Ivan Shcherbo is convinced that representatives of Qatar can find interesting projects in Belarus. The minister stressed that the country implements projects to construct and revamp motorways. Belarus is eager to raise foreign investments. "The Transport Ministry is ready to revamp some parts of roads on terms of concession," according to the press service.
Moreover, Qatari businessmen may be interested in railway electrification projects. The parties discussed another promising and large-scale project to construct a transport and logistics center near the town of Orsha. "Another promising cooperation avenue is the development of the Belarusian marine fleet. The minister is convinced that the Customs Union of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan may help as it offers additional prospects in the transport industry," according to the press service.
Qatari businessmen, in turn, expressed interest in Belarusian projects. "Markus Vanko, investment director of the general portfolio investment department of Qatar Holding Company, said that the Eastern company is ready to sponsor and implement joint projects, which will bring success and benefits in future. This position was supported by other members of the Qatari delegation, including representatives of Qatari Diar Company.

This invention relates to a novel cross-linked hydrogel copolymer useful in a medical context e.g. in the manufacture of prostheses, in dialysis, or in sustained release preparations, but whose primary use is envisaged to be as a material for making contact lenses.
It is well known to make contact lenses from poly(hydroxyethylmethacrylate), otherwise known as polyHEMA. Such lenses have good strength and flexibility properties but their permeability to oxygen and their water uptake is rather low. This means that there is a danger of anoxia which can cause pain and damage to the cornea.
In other known copolymers described for instance in German OLS 2205391, lenses of higher water content are obtained with a correspondingly higher oxygen permeability. However, the strength and durability of these lenses is much diminished compared with that of polyHEMA lenses.
It has recently been proposed to make such contact lenses from copolymers of vinyl pyrrolidone (VP) and methyl methacrylate (MMA). Because there is a range of copolymers which can be made it is possible to control and improve the oxygen permeability and water uptake by selecting the requisite copolymer.
The present invention is a further development of such work which uses highly hydrophobic acrylate, alkacrylate, acrylamide and/or alkacrylamide monomers together with N-vinyl lactams to form copolymers.
In one aspect therefore the present invention consists in a lightly cross-linked hydrogel copolymeric material capable of an uptake of physiological saline of between 65% and 85% by weight based on the total weight of gel, said material being formed from (1) at least one watersoluble N-vinyl lactam and (2) as a comonomer, not more than 15 mole percent of at least one compound of formula: ##STR2## where X is --NH-- or --0--; R1 is hydrogen or an alkyl group of straight or branched chain containing up to 4 carbon atoms; and R2 is either (a) a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group or (b) an alkyl group of straight or branched chain containing from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, substituted by at least one substituted or unsubstituted aryloxy group or (c) a hydroxyalkyl group of straight or branched chain containing from 1 to 6 carbon atoms further substituted on a carbon atom by at least one substituted or unsubstituted aryl group and/or at least one substituted or unsubstituted aryloxy group, any of the said aryloxy groups in each case not substituting the carbon atom adjacent to the --X-- group.
It is preferred for the group R1 to be methyl, that is to say for the compound of the formula given to be a methacrylate ester or methacrylamide.
It is preferred that the substituted alkyl group R2 should contain one or (especially) two carbon atoms and that the hydroxyalkyl group should contain two carbon atoms.
The aryl or aryloxy constituent described above usually comprises one or two six-membered carbocyclic rings. It can be a mononuclear, fused binuclear or other binuclear radical.
Examples are phenyl, 2-naphthyl, (3-phenyl)phenyl, (4-phenyl) phenyl, (3-benzyl) phenyl or (4-benzyl) phenyl or the corresponding phenoxy, 2-naphthyloxy, (3-phenyl) phenoxy, (4-phenyl) phenoxy, (3-benzyl) phenoxy or (4-benzyl) phenoxy.
Optionally such aryl or aryloxy group can be substituted by one or two alkyl groups of straight or branched chain containing from one to four carbon atoms, one or two alkoxy groups of straight or branched chain containing from one to four carbon atoms, or one or two halogens. A preferred halogen is chlorine, but possibly bromine can be utilised as a substituent.
The preferred N-vinyl-lactams include N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone, N-vinyl-2-piperidone, and N-vinyl-ε-caprolactam. The compound N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone, hereinafter referred to as VP, is preferable.
While the Applicants do not intend to be limited by any hypothesis to the mode of action of this invention, it seems possible that the hydrophobic constituents link together to form a hydrophobic matrix within a hydrophilic matrix. Thus, if the amount of hydrophobic constituent is increased over 15 mole % the water content will be decreased and the product will be unduly stiff and show creep.
The cross-linked materials described above are formed by the addition to the monomers of a di-functional compound. The concentration of this di-functional compound or cross-linking agent is chosen according to the required degree of cross-linking. Consequently, it is determined not only by the amount of the monomers but also by their type and ability to form the cross-linked polymer. The less effective cross-linking agents have to be applied in a higher concentration that the more effective ones, and while in general up to 5% w/w of the cross-linking agent is possible it is preferred to use the more effective cross-linking agents whereby only up to 2% is preferable. Possible cross-linking agents are for instance, N,N methylenebisacrylamide, N,N-methylenebismethacrylamide, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate or polyethylene glycol dimethacrylates of general formula: ##STR3## (where n is 1 to 4 and may or may not be an integer i.e. the latter when a mixture of species is present).
However, a particularly valuable form of cross-linking agent is a cross-linking agent where the two functional groups differ in reactivity, usually by virtue of their point of attachment to the remainder of the molecule. Particular examples of these are monoesters of acrylic or methacrylic acid with unsaturated aliphatic radical, e.g. allyl methacrylate or 3-allyloxy-2-hydroxy propyl methacrylate.
It is generally also envisaged to use as crosslinking agents compounds of formula: ##STR4## where R3 is allyl or vinyl and n is 0 to 4 (preferably an integer e.g. 3, indicating that a pure species is present) or of formula: ##STR5##
While this invention is predominantly concerned with copolymers containing two constituents, it is within the ambit of the invention to include further proportions of other copolymerizable monomers in order to modify further the properties of the eventual hydrogel.
More specifically there are also envisaged, according to the present invention terpolymers (or higher order copolymers) containing two or more hydrophobic monomers and one hydrophilic monomer, e.g. a phenethyl methacrylate/2-naphthyl methacrylate/VP terpolymer.
While moreover this invention is primarily concerned with bulk polymerisation, involving crosslinking, with mechanical shaping of the desired cross-linked copolymer, it is also envisaged to produce a material in a non-crosslinked form and to produce the crosslinked network subsequently in a mould under thermal conditions.
The invention will be further described with reference to the following Examples.
33.6 g. of vinyl pyrrolidone and 6.4 g. of phenethyl methacrylate were mixed together. To the mixture was added 0.27 g. of a crosslinking agent the specific member chosen being allyl methacrylate. Finally 0.12 g. of azobisisobutyrodinitrile (AZBN) was added as catalyst.
The mixture was put into a mould and degassed. The bulk of the polymerisation was carried out in a constant temperature enclosure between 45�-55� C. with the exclusion of oxygen for up to 24 hours. Polymerisation was completed by heating the mould at 100�-120� e.g. 110� C. for 1-10 hours.
The resulting polymer had a water uptake of 73.5 (based upon the total eventual hydrogel) and an oxygen permeability, ml (STP cm./cm2. sec cm(Hg) � 1010) i.e. measured in milliliters at STP times centimeters thickness per square centimeter area, per second, per centimeter mercury pressure, � 1010) of about 19.9. Moreover, the ultimate tensile strength in kilograms per square centimeter was 5.5, while the load to 10% elongation i.e. "10% T" (a measure of the stiffness of the material) was 0.9 kgf per square cm.
Water uptake was measured as uptake from physiological saline (0.9% NaCl in distilled water) at 20� C. The samples were refluxed in the saline for 16 hours and thereafter allowed to soak in fresh saline for 3 days. Percentage uptake is based on total, i.e. gel, weight.
Ultimate tensile strength (UTS) was measured by cutting out of swollen cast sheet, as described in ASTM D 1708, dumbbell-shaped samples which were then aged as above. The gauge length was 1 inch and the speed of the jaws of the Instron test machine was 2 inches per minute, the sample being immersed in saline for the duration of the test. The results are measured in Kgf/sq. cm.
The "10% T" denote the force required for 10% elongation, and is measured from the graph obtained during the UTS test above.
Ultimate tensile strength is a measure of the strength of the material, and "10% T" an indication of its stiffness, i.e. flexibility, (the higher the force the stiffer the material). The saline uptake, and the oxygen permeability are related characteristics.
Polymers as described above can be made into contact lenses as follows.
Bulk polymerisation is carried out under the time and temperature conditions described above in a vessel such as to give a rod of polymer of circular cross-section 12.7 mm in diameter and 30 cm long. This rod was sliced into "buttons" 6 mm thick. The buttons were lathed to a calculated size, depending upon the optical prescription for the lens and upon the known swellability of the polymer. The lathed shapes so produced were hydrated in sterile physiological saline at room temperature to give an overall diameter between 17.3 and 17.5 mm, thus providing a clear, very soft, and very flexible contact lens. It was found that in use such a lens gave good visual acuity and visual stability over a period, with no significant water loss from its structure.
The invention will be further described with reference to the following table, which indicates certain properties of various methacrylic esters used as copolymerizable monomers with vinyl pyrrolidone in the molar proportions (and hence weight proportions) listed, the polymer samples having been made by the procedure as described above, using the crosslinking agents shown.

Introduction A prominent concern in the international human resource management is the failure of expatriates (Black et al, 1988). The failure rate of the international managers or expatriates has been reported to range anywhere between 10-80%, costing multinational enterprise (MNEs) between US$40000-US$1 million for each failed assignment (Vogel 2008). Not including the 'invisible' or indirect costs which are harder to quantify in money terms but can prove to be more expensive for the company (textbook). Therefore, a proper recruitment and selection, preparation, training, support and development for expatriates are essential to address the problem. Training is the process of altering employee behaviour and attitudes to increase the probability of goal attainment (Hodgetts, 1993) where development aimed at improve abilities in relation to future expatriates. Stone (1998) stated that strategic training & development are virtually non-existent in most organisations as most organizations do not analyse the needs of training and development and top management viewed it as a necessary evil. However according to Fontaine (1997:631), if effective preparation, support and training were provided not only to expatriate but also their trailing families will ensure the success of international assignments. These were shown by the survey's respondents from Windham international and the National Foreign Trade Council (1999) which cited family adjustment (65%), spousal resistance (53%) and spouse's career (45%) as the most critical roadblock to acceptance and success of international assignments. Besides, Bross (2000) supports Fontaine in stating that the important of expatriates recruitment and selection then provide them with proper training will position them to be successful. Pre-departure training Once an employee has been selected, pre-departure training becomes the next critical step in attempting to ensure the expatriate's effectiveness and success abroad (Mendenhall et al. 1987). Tung's (1982) study showed US multinationals 32% tended to use training programs for expatriate less frequently than European 69% and Japanese 57% firms. However, GMAC 2004 Global Survey showed that provision of pre-departure training for expatriate and accompanying spouse/partners continued to increase. Cross-cultural training is beneficial for expatriates adapt to and not feel isolated from the host-country. Mendenhall et al. (1987) distinguish between three types of training, namely, (1) information giving approaches, which have a relative low level of rigor via lectures, movies or books; (2) affective approaches which address people's feeling as well as 'fact' through culture assimilator and role playing; and (3) immersion approaches which are in-depth methods covering a broad range of topic and methods like field experiments and sensitivity training. In 1983, Intel launched its intercultural

Sorrel Lyrics
Artist: Wishbone Ash
Album: Wishbone Four
In a garden of the southland
He found her wandering astray
She came to show him of her beauty
That many passersby don't see
Would you be taking in
Such frail-looking lady
The sadness of her lone display
Dressed in yellow fire burning
The corner dweller on the lane
Sorrow was her only feeling
For she could have no living shame
Take good care of time
To sow your own true seed
The summers end will bring your leaving
Then he journeyed for a long ways
She was never in his mind
Came he home to just a memory
For the lady she had died
Take good care of time
To sow your own true seed
The summers end will bring your leaving

EXCLUSIVE: Rapper-actor Tip "T.I." Harris has landed a role opposite Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart in Warner Bros' Etan Cohen-directed comedy Get Hard. In the Gary Sanchez-produced pic, the self-professed King of the South will play Joaquin, Hart's streetwise cousin who helps Hart prep Ferrell's millionaire fraudster for prison. Harris has been racking up the acting credits lately. He's currently doing a season-long guest stint on Showtime's House Of Lies, starred in a season-long guest run on Starz's Boss in 2012, and popped up in Universal's Identity Thief last year. Grammy-nominated Harris made his acting debut with a starring turn in 2006's ATL, which he followed with Ridley Scott's American Gangster and Screen Gems' crime thriller Takers. He's repped by UTA, Brian Sher's Category 5, and the Blueprint Group.

I guess no one at Warners saw his "performance" in Identity Thief.

Asthma Health Center
Football Hero Tackles Asthma
You won your first Super Bowl ring with the Pittsburgh Steelers last year. Was it tough to retire, or great to leave the game on the highest of notes?
After playing for 13 years and winning in my hometown, it was easy to walk away. I have no regrets. My career dreams were fulfilled.
You are one of 20 million Americans who have asthma. Did you need to take special precautions before playing football?
Yes, I took a nebulizer treatment before every game and worked closely with my doctors and team physicians to come up with a healthy game plan. Plus, I take my meds daily.
Recommended Related to Asthma
The wheezing, the shortness of breath. Will it ever end? Sometimes young children have asthma-like symptoms that disappear. What they have isn't asthma. It's a temporary condition that doesn't turn into the lung disease, says Joyce C. Rabbat, MD. She's an assistant professor at Loyola University Medical Center's Division of Allergy and Immunology. The wheezing is treated just like asthma, but it goes away by itself, usually by age 5 or 6. Most kids who have symptoms like wheezing and shortness...
Read the Can Kids Outgrow Asthma? article > >
You had a serious asthma attack on the field once, didn't you?
In 1997 I had such a terrible attack I almost died. I was playing in Jacksonville, Fla., it was late in the game, and the weather was really humid, which is bad for asthma. My lungs tightened and I had to be rescued -- I was given a nebulizer treatment on the sidelines. Back then my asthma was uncontrolled, I didn't take it seriously. I did from that point on.
What advice can you give to others dealing with the challenge of asthma, to keep them physically active?
Get educated. Work closely with your doctors to determine how in control your asthma is. The results will help you create your own game plan to keep you active.
Has your diet changed since retirement?
I'm a big guy. I like to eat. I have to eat less now. That's it.
What foods do you go for most, and what do you try to avoid?
My downfall is oatmeal raisin cookies. I stay away from shellfish because I'm allergic to it.
How about your training regimen? Have you taken up any new sports?
I just retired in February! I haven't had time to take up new sports! But I do train regularly to maintain my health.
You endured one of the most physically punishing careers on the planet. Do you have ongoing aches and pains from your career?
Every day. But the key is staying active, loose, and limber.

In 2000, Jennifer Lopez turned heads on the 42nd Annual GRAMMY Awards red carpet in a barely there Versace gown.
Thirteen years later, people are still talking about that plunging neckline. But JLo admits, she's never really known what to do with the teal palm tree patterned number.
In fact, the dress just spends its time hanging in her closet. Well, unless her housekeeper decides to take it out for a spin.
"The other day, my housekeeper put it on a mannequin in my spa, where I get my hair and makeup done," Jennifer told Harper's Bazaar. "She sent me a picture. She was like, 'You like this dress?' Um, yeah, but I don't know if I like it out in the house!"
The ex-American Idol judge told the mag her style has changed a lot since then when she had a more "boyish, hip-hoppy sensibility" with a "sexy element." Now she says she's channeling "movie stars and Jackie O."
But the mother to 4-year-old twins, Emme and Max, isn't against keeping it a little sexy still. She told Access Hollywood she would still wear that GRAMMY dress today.
"I wouldn't have a problem with it," she said.
As for her daughter Emme wearing it in the future, JLo's boyfriend Casper Smart had one thing to say about that.
"Oh, God, no!"
What do you think Jennifer should do with the infamous dress?
