By FRANCO PANIZO
Freddy Adu may not have to wait much longer to make his Bahia debut.
Adu was named to Bahia's 18-man game-day roster for their road fixture against Juazeirense on Sunday, and the Brazilian Cup match could see Adu get his first taste of action since joining the club last month. If Adu were to play, the game would also mark his first competitive appearance since Oct. 20.
Bahia are currently in first place in Group A of the Baiano competition but a win is needed on Sunday to guarantee that they maintain their two-point lead over Botafogo, who are set to face Group B leaders Vitoria Da Conquista.
Here are more Americans Abroad notes:
Helsingborg IF cruised to their second victory of the Allsvenskan season on Thursday, and Alejandro Bedoya played a big part making that happen.
Bedoya scored a goal and had an assist as Helsingborg went on the road and routed Norrkoping, 4-1. Bedoya scored his first of the season with a driven left-footed shot from distance that found the bottom corner of the goal in the 48th minute, and he then set up Helsingborg's final tally with a pass from the left at the hour-mark.
You can see Bedoya's goal and assist here:
As far as aesthetics go, Sacha Kljestan's most-recent strike could not have been much better.
Kljestan capped the scoring in RSC Anderlecht's 3-0 win over Lokeren on Wednesday, rifling a curling shot from 25 yards out that caromed off the crossbar. The 38th-minute goal was Kljestan's second of the season and his first since a 6-1 triumph over Club Brugge on Nov. 11.
You can see Kljestan's goal here.
Expecting Adu to make his Bahia debut this weekend? Impressed with Bedoya's finish? How many times have you watched Kljestan's beautiful blast?
Share your thoughts below.
much adu about nothing
If you are a U.S. soccer fan then you should be rooting for every American abroad to play well and have a successful career. We don't have nearly enough talent to say "we don't need player A or player B anymore".
Dan M
unless they are a washed up 32 year old fraudster disguised as a 23 year old.
Ryan in NYC by way of NC
and who might that be, Dan???? I'm curious.
Give it a rest…. that line is tired, played out and has no merit! It's comical that supposed US fans hate on some of our more genius footballers instead showing support for them smh….what a world we live in!
It's not comical, it's something that happens all the time in every sport. It's frustrating to see a player of any sport consistently fail to match their level of play with their level of talent. Think of all of the draft "busts" from the NBA and NFL, articles and articles are written about what could have been if only X player had devoted himself to being a true professional. Yet some people think that if only American fans showed a little kindness towards Adu he would somehow reward them by changing his tune. The truth is, some players have all the talent in the world, but they don't have what it takes between the ears to put it to good use. Freddy Adu has shown that he is this type of player. You don't build a team around that kind of player, you don't build a franchise around that kind of player. You send them packing, and that's what each and every coach/manager of his has done, and they'll continue to do that until he learns, which may be never.
I cant help but to keep sippin on the Freddy Adu crazy juice. I still feel he can be a part of the USMNT going forward bearing some consistent playing time in Brazil. He may not ever be a full time starter but his skill set could be used against certain opponents depending on the situation. His last appearance for the nats (believe it was 4-2 thrashing by Mexico) was a disaster from a team stand point but I thought he showed well and was our most dangerous attacking player. I think he could play as a winger or obviously an advanced mid. Am I crazy?
I still believe
the unmistakeable Ronaldinho
I fell the same way. My head tells me that he is a talented player who just doesn't have the complete game required to make it at the highest level (consistency, work rate ect). My heart is desperate for him to finally get it together and come closer to fulfilling his potential. He obviously has a skill set that no other American player has ever had. Doesn't seem like Klinsmann has any faith in him though. I don't believe he has even been called in under the current regime, even after his MOTM displays in the Gold Cup.
Paul Miller
Why would he be called in? He has yet to establish a consistent track record of performance on… what… his 8th team now? There are MLS standouts who do regularly perform at that level who can't get on the USMNT.
I'm a fan of the USMNT of course, so I hope he does well in Brazil and does force Klinsmann to take a look. Heck, for the sake of more options, I hope every American playing on a foreign club dramatically improves by several quantum leaps tomorrow as well. But I'm not expecting it.
the unmistakeable Ronaldinho
Just to clarify I never said he should be called in. Just pointing out that even when his stock was at its peak of recent years he still wasn't called in. That says a lot about what Klinsmann thinks of him.
Actually he was called up to a game or two just after klinsmann took over. But apparently he didnt impress.
Your not crazy and the majority of true fans hope for the same because of performances like the one against Mexico and Spain and Argentina of years past….I'm hoping Freddy has learned a lesson in that being a professional takes more than natural ability but also work ethic and want to!
He is 23, left footed and has some flair to his game. He needs to make some huge strides very soon if he is going to attain a role (a LW offensive-minded sub?) with the USMNT.
Compare what Freddy has done for the Nats at his age compared with Run DMB.
Fred Adu will be 24 in June.
By that age DMB had put in a great run for Guus Hiddink and PSV in the Champion's League, was playing in the EPL for Manchester City and was about to play in his second World Cup. Adu may never do that well even if he plays another ten years.
What is your point?
It would be impressive if he could become a season long regular for Bahia It would be even more impressive if he could do it two seasons in a row but I'm not greedy.
Adu is the poor man's version of Riquelme – he is amazing IF the team is constructed around him.
Michael F. SBI Mafia Oriinal
C'mon Adu. Prove everyone wrong…again. Get on the field, keep your Twitter shut, and earn it. Simple as that.
Good to see Sacha's Hitler 'stache is gone.
I have never been a subscriber to the Freddy Adu is not his stated age conspiracy, but the older he gets the faster he seems to be aging. He looks like he could be going on 30 now.
The Imperative Voice
He turned pro at 14 and next year will enter his 10th year of pro soccer. Michael Owen, who started stronger than Adu, started to hit the wall around that same 10 year mark and hasn't been the same since. Donovan's at about 13 or 14 years. At some point I think it catches up to you.
The length of Adu's tenure is my response to people who want me to treat him like a draft pick of promise. After a decade of bouncing around he's either cutting it or not, I don't think he can be treated like some college grad player his age who's not had the same opportunities and professional environment.
Don't get me wrong, if his salary ever comes down to the 100s or 200s I think he's a solid MLS starter, although his skill set and limited height and athleticism may not be for everyone. But his original DC days suggest he's a worthy role player as long as you're not foolish enough to hand him the keys to the offense.
the unmistakeable Ronaldinho
Adu may have been a pro for 9 years now, but he hasn't exactly been playing a ton of games like Donovan and Owen. Hes probably played less than 100 games in the last 6 years. There's no reason his body should be breaking down.
I agree we can't treat him as some college grad though. He's young, but he has been a pro for quite some time now. If he hasn't figured out what it takes to be a professional player by this point, he probably won't ever get to that point.
He has all the talent in the world, but lacks the consistency to play at the highest level. He is MOTM one week and disappears for the next 3. That just doesn't cut it. Its the same story we have seen with many many other very talented young players. Talent can only get you so far. I know I've read Arsene Wenger, and I'm sure many others, say that consistency is the most important quality of a professional player. Freddy Adu doesn't have that.
Owen was a speed guy. Once his legs went, he was done. Freddie is a technical guy with only decent wheels. He shouldn't burn out like Owen barring a catastrophic injury
Once the legs go, most athletes are done playing.
Adu does not belong in the same paragraph with a guy like Owen. Owen was forced off the field by endless hamstring injuries. What was Freddie's excuse?
Injuries eventually ended Owen's career but it wasn't so much about losing speed as simply not being able to get on the field. His body just couldn't take the pounding. This began when he came back to England with Newcastle. He adjusted to his speed loss by becoming a smarter player but even that does not help when you can't get on the field.
With Liverpool and Real Madrid, he averaged a goal every 2 games which is elite level. Henry and Kun Aguero, for example, score at that rate.
From Newcastle on, when his injury problems really began, he missed a lot of games and his scoring rate dropped to a goal every 3 games which is great for an attacking midfielder but just okay for a striker. Still, a diminished , injury prone Owen was a far more effective and dangerous soccer player than Adu.
Loved that Bedoya had a monster game but…and I know that was just a highlight reel and all…but, man…that league kind'a looked like it sucked somewhat. Yeah, yeah, yeah teams from that league get to play in the UCL and all (someone's gotta go from there, right?) but that was some of the worst goal keeping and defending I have seen. Maybe they played the whuppin' boys of the league?
Did you see the defending on Beasleys goal last week?
yeah alot of people saw it so whats your point? Happens in every league around the world where defenders ball watch whether its due to fatigue or positioning….was that suoposed to be a k.ock on beasley bc he's been ballin and deserves a spot on the left wing for the US
Sweden has the 23rd ranked league in Europe. Norway is ranked 27th.
That is not great.

Homeowners, Advocates Call for Temporary Stop to Foreclosures in California
SAN FRANCISCO, CA— A week after Attorney General Kamala Harris announced an $18 billion settlement for California's foreclosure victims, homeowners and housing rights advocates declared the need to temporarily halt all foreclosure related activity.
During a foreclosure roundtable discussion held on Friday at the Mission Economic Development Agency, Alan Fisher, Executive Director of the California Reinvestment Coalition, said that advocate "groups are asking for a pause in foreclosures so people don't lose their homes [while the settlement is being implemented.]"
John Eller, a senior organizer with Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment (ACCE), said that by putting a temporary stop to the foreclosures "it would enable borrowers to have some breathing room while they figure out if they qualify for the settlement."
"It will take months to implement the settlement and while they're trying, people are still being foreclosed on. We need to put a pause [on foreclosures]," agreed Vivian Richardson, a homeowner from San Francisco's Bay View area who is seeking principal reduction on her loan.
"Our office agrees that that would be a beneficial step," said Shum Preston, a spokesperson for the Attorney General's office, on a foreclosure moratorium.
Fisher explained that the banks would also benefit from a pause in the foreclosure process, "This would give them a chance to become operational on the settlement." Fisher continued that without the pause, "the banks would be continuing to service loans and file foreclosure notices, instead of focusing on a new approach and loan modifications."
In February 2009, then governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a 90-day moratorium on California home foreclosures into law. However consumer advocates criticized the law, entitled the California Foreclosure Prevention Act, for its wide loopholes and exemptions for mortgage service providers who met certain minimum criteria.
Housing advocates are not asking for a moratorium per se in this case, because they do not want to limit their call to action to the legislature alone. "We need to stop all foreclosure activity until due process for the borrowers is in place. Whether that's local or state legislation, legal action, or voluntary action by the banks – somehow this has to happen," said Eller.
Eller's concern regarding violations of due process for borrowers was partly a result of the findings from an audit, conducted by mortgage investigation firm Aequitas, of 382 San Francisco homes that went through foreclosure between 2009 and 2011. Released this week by Assessor-Recorder Phil Ting, the audit found that 84% of foreclosures contained at least one clear violation of California's foreclosure laws.
While Attorney General Harris has been widely praised for the $18 billion deal she negotiated - $12 billion more than what was discussed in the fall - homeowners who have suffered from violations such as those found in Ting's audit said that it still fails to fully address the damage done during the foreclosure crisis.
Homeowners who were victims of robo-signing and lost their homes to foreclosure from 2008-2011 will receive $2,000 as a part of the multi-state settlement.
"Somebody told us they would offer us $2,000 – that's just a slap in my face," said Rolando Peña, a San Francisco resident who was evicted from his home six months ago. "Now we are renting a house, paying $2,350 a month in rent. How are we going to recover our money?" he questioned.
Norma Garcia, senior attorney at Consumers Union, echoed Pena's concerns, "There's no doubt that when you compare $2,000 to the loss of a home, we're not talking about anything that's even comparable."
Richardson expressed her concerns, "It's good for the 25,000 homeowners who will get the help, but mine is going to be a continued fight outside of all of this."
Richardson's lender is Deutsche Bank, which is not one of the five (Ally/GMAC, Bank of America, Citi, JPMorgan Chase, and Wells Fargo) that are part of the settlement.
Some homeowners viewed the settlement as being so inadequate that they would have been better off without it.
Reverend Archbishop Franzo King, a Bayview resident and founder of the St. John Coltrane African Orthodox Church, whose house is set for auction on March 5th expressed confusion about why there was excitement about the settlement. "I was excited when Harris wasn't getting involved. It should be without compromise. I am feeling that we've been betrayed."
"If you put a knife in my back that's 10 inches long and you pull it out 7 inches," he noted, "I still got a knife in my back."

This valiant cry for sanity and a halt to the foreclosure crises is well intended and I would agree. However, it would require a true bell-ringer in Washington to accomplish.
Let's just have hope that future President's will heed the call and cry of those in need, for the current crises in foreclosures is and was so needless.
For the record, Ron Paul, is the only candidate who I have heard even mention slowing down the momentum of the real estate foreclosures. Everyone else seems content to let the market take it's course.
Posted Feb 21 2012
the majority who lost their homes have only themselves to blame or their lawyer who witnessed the signing of the loan.
Posted Feb 21 2012
It's an idea long over-due and the right thing to do. It would require a Congressional intervention and moratorium. We have not seen that resolve in Congress yet and may not.
Most members of Congress are very wealthy and more than half are millionaires, therefore immune to the hardships faced by the common man/woman facing this type of loss.
I am hopeful that in the future, President's and Congressional representatives will not allow this large scale hurt/hardships to occur again.
The $2,000 that's been offered as severance to those affected by foreclosure is too little to late.
Posted Feb 21 2012
@anonymoust "he majority who lost their homes have only themselves to blame or their lawyer who witnessed the signing of the loan." Obviously YOU have NO IDEA what you speak of, until you walk a day in the shoes of someone who is in this situation then honestly you should not speak! You're obviously ignorant to this situation and have no value to add.
Posted Apr 26 2012
I commend Harris, at least this will help some people. In a disaster you don't look at the disaster and say well if I can't save them all, just let them all die, you try to save as many left as you can!
I hope it can help the true victums, the responsible consumers that have have suffered from underemployment and unemployment with no values left in their homes as a result of the greedy bankers as well as the irresponsible consumers that caused this fiasco. Not all the consumers loosing to forclosure were irresponsible! I look forward to the possibilty of the halt to foreclosure until due process is in place. I was told of the advertized PRP, but learned from BofA that there is no such thing currently, because the program is in the hands of the department of justice and they can't offer it. I think that meant they don't have to legally offer it but they advertise it to keep face in the public eye as to look as though they are doing something. All these programs are for loans under 729k as though the person that is hard at work is not worthy.

Polish family forced to leave Canada because of mistake made by immigration Canada
Young family says federal government gave no warning before revoking resident visas
CBC News Posted: Feb 19, 2016 8:06 PM NT Last Updated: Feb 19, 2016 8:06 PM NT
According to Anna Tyszkiwicz and Krzysztof Kubera, the federal government waited until their temporary resident visas expired before telling them about a crucial piece of missing paperwork.
Losing that status meant the pair also lost work permits and medical coverage — a problem, considering their second child is due in June.
"We've got friends already from Gander to here. [Our daughter's] life is here. She doesn't remember any other friends than from here," Kubera told CBC News.
The couple immigrated to Gander two-and-a-half years ago. They later relocated to St. John's.
Tyszkiwicz worked as a homecare worker, while Krys was employed as a cook. Their daughter, Amelia, was registered to start kindergarten at Macdonald Drive Elementary in September.
Back in October, the couple filed paperwork to extend their work permits in the hopes of eventually applying for permanent residency.
'In just one day everything is gone. It shouldn't be like that.'– Anna Tyszkiwicz
But three months later, the family received an email from Citizenship and Immigration Canada saying that one additional form was required from each of their employers.
"We also wish to advise you that your temporary resident status expired on January 18, 2016," reads the statement, dated that same day.
While Kubera's employer then filed the necessary paperwork, Tyszkiwicz's mistakenly did not.
The letter said the family could apply to have their status restored within 90 days if the proper paperwork was completed and the pair paid the necessary fees, which totalled upwards of $1,000.
With a baby on the way and her work permit on hold, Tyszkiwicz had few options.
"In one day we became unemployed. That's why we have to go, we can't stay on without jobs,"Kubera said.
"It's a little thing that cancelled our dream and put us in big stress … with no room to fix anything."
Without warning
Tyszkiwicz's doctor advised her that, starting next week, she should no longer travel by plane. That gave the family little time to make a plan.
"The email cancelled our life the same day. Nobody emailed us, 'Okay, [this] is missing.' Give us a week or two to do something. No, in just one day everything is gone. It shouldn't be like that," Tyszkiwicz said.
The couple said they can't live in St. John's without a household income or medical coverage for Tyszkiwicz.
Friday night, the family was scheduled to return to Europe where they said they will start the process to return to Newfoundland.

Michael Beach is a Melbourne-based musician who writes, records, and performs under his own name, and as a member of Melbourne trio Shovels. He is a recent transplant from Oakland, CA, having spent the last 5 years recording two solo albums (2013's Golden Theft and the forthcoming Gravity/Repulsion) and playing as a member of Oakland's Colossal Yes and Meercaz. Since 2008, he has put out records on Twin Lakes Records, Homeless Records, Ecstatic Yod, and Spectacular Commodity.
Shovels' self-titled debut LP is out now on Homeless Records. From Homeless: 'Australian psych-post-punk fury of clanging guitars, pummeling drums, and thick, sinewy basslines combine for a primal, minimalistic outpouring of swaggering rawk.'
After a two years of touring Golden Theft (Twin Lakes), Michael Beach returned to the studio to record Gravity/Repulsion — the culmination of two years playing as full band with drummer Utrillo Kushner (Colossal Yes, Comets On Fire) and bass player Muslim Delgado (Meercaz). Gravity/Repulsion was recorded with engineer Phil Manley (Moon Duo, Carlton Melton) at Manley's El Studio in San Francisco. It is due for release in September 2017 on Spectacular Commodity.
"Hooky and a little bit heavy, driving and catchy like crazy, and that tempo shift just kills us every time, so unexpected, but so cool…..Drifting from crunchy post punk, to woozy psychedelic drift, to countrified rust belt songsmithery, and several other stops in between… Gorgeous stuff for sure." – Aquarius Records on Golden Theft

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear (General) › Shelter that doubles as hammock tarp?
Mar 5, 2014 at 12:43 pm #1314059
I was thinking about getting a shelter setup that allows me the versatility of using a hammock below the tree line and a shelter above it.
I was wondering if there are any shelters/tarps available that might fit this bill. I sleep like a baby in a hammock, but want to be able to camp above the treeline on occasion depending on the hike. My thoughts are that I could use the hammock as a groundsheet above the treeline, and get a bivy (for when its colder) or bug net (for those warm months).
Just an idea I'm toying around with now… I was thinking that an MLD Trailstar might be good for something like this… thoughts?Mar 5, 2014 at 12:46 pm #2079786

A golite poncho tarp works as a minimalist tarp over short hammocks. MLD's Pro poncho might work, and would be a longer ground shelter, too.
A Trailstar could work but hanging the peak effectively would be a big pain.
Hammocks work fine as a bivy if you use trekking poles for the ends.Mar 5, 2014 at 1:47 pm #2079809

Would a simple 8 x 10 or 8 x 11 tarp fit the bill or is that missing something you're looking for? Personally I would stay away from shaped tarps for hanging, plus you have a lot more options with a rectangular tarp or square tarp but not the simplicity of shaped tarp …. Also want to consider that many shaped tarps may not have enough length to cover your ridgeline …. I would want an 11 foot ridgeline for hanging if I have a standard 10 foot long hammock ….
Since all a traditional hex hammock tarp is is a normal rectangular tarp with angled corners … with a rectangular tarp you would get more coverage when hanging and even have enough overhang on the ends to make small doors if needed or hang it asym…. Was in same spot as you and but went with a hex tarp, even for if I have to be above tree line …Mar 5, 2014 at 2:41 pm #2079831
Perhaps an 8.5 x 8.5 flat tarp. It could be pitched on the diagonal for the hammock. Zpacks has a nice one.Mar 5, 2014 at 5:27 pm #2079885

@smeierLocale: Midwest
I have a 7×9 cuben fiber tarp that I use to both bivy as well as over my hammock with the long diagonal as my ridge line. Provides a nice asym set up for the hammock. If I had to do again I probably would go with a 10×8 tarp to provide a bit more coverage but works well for on the ground or in the air.Mar 5, 2014 at 7:05 pm #2079902
As someone who never has used a tarp shelter before for any type of real backpacking, is it something I could just pick up and try start out with? I've set up tarps for camping trips in a hammock but never anything out in the wilderness. I don't want to be over my head out in the bush…Mar 6, 2014 at 5:03 am #2080014

@smeierLocale: Midwest
I would start with a silnylon tarp and go at least 8×10 and then just start practicing in your yard or at a local park, which is what I did. There are some great books and websites to learn from. Anything from Derek Hanson on hammocking is great stuff.Mar 6, 2014 at 5:35 am #2080021

@dallasLocale: North Texas
Yes, you certainly can find a tarp that works for hammocks and also a shelter when hanging is not an option. I'm with you, I much prefer a hammock but there are parts of some trails that require going to ground.
Check out the JacksRBetter tarps for a variety of sizes, materials and weights.
Also, Zpacks has a few different hammock tarp options.Mar 6, 2014 at 7:45 am #2080045

A "four-season" hammock tarp (that is, with one that has doors to close off the ends) will definitely provide you with an enclosed shelter on those rare occasions that you have to go to ground. The Superfly (by Warbonnet Outdoors), Bullfrog (by Wilderness Logics), Cuben Standard With Doors (by Hammock Gear), Hammock Tarp With Doors (by Zpacks), and JRB 11×10 Tarp (by Jacks'R'Better) are all good examples of this. There're more out there; it may be worth a little investigation (all of these are just off of the top of my head).
Coupled with a groundsheet (my poncho doubles for this, if ever needed), one of these tarps and your hammock used as a bug bivvy (if needed) will work just fine with your trekking poles as a shelter option. It won't be quite as easy to pitch as a purpose-designed tent, but that's what you get multi-using gear.
Hope it helps!Mar 6, 2014 at 8:37 am #2080062

Agree with John. I have the Zpacks hammock tarp with doors and have used it as a very roomy ground-dwelling tarp on a number of occasions.
Probably obvious, but if ground dwelling, don't forget a pad and (if-needed) bug protection.Mar 6, 2014 at 9:14 am #2080075
Robert- Do you have the optional trekking pole attachments on the Z-packs hammock tarp? How do they hold up?

Grayson Schmitz of 'Top Chef' will cook at Plymouth events
It's not every day you can taste the food of a chef-testant -- unless you're Padma Lakshmi or Tom Colicchio. But the public can sample the cooking of Grayson Schmitz, the Wisconsin native on this season's "Top Chef," at four-course wine dinners next week at Sweet Basil in Plymouth.
The first dinner, on Jan. 29, has sold out; restaurant owner Dave Panko recently added a second dinner, on Jan. 30. Dinner is at 6 p.m. and is $125 for four courses.
Schmitz grew up in New Holstein, about a half-hour's drive from Plymouth. Panko said one of his servers knows Schmitz's family and introduced them the day before Thanksgiving in St. Cloud, in Fond du Lac County.
"I was just kind of joking with her, asking if she wanted a job. She quickly said no," Panko said. Then he asked if she'd cook a dinner at his restaurant, "and she just as quickly answered yes."
Schmitz will mingle with guests after the dinner and sign menus for them.
She'll be making grilled plum salad, butternut squash ravioli, braised veal and sticky toffee cake for each dinner.
Call the restaurant to reserve a seat: (920) 892-7572. Sweet Basil is at 645 Walton Drive in Plymouth.

The brothers involved in the Paris attacks had a heated argument the night before the massacres, their friends have told French media.
Brahim Abdeslam, 31, blew himself up outside a cafe, injuring 15 people, during last Friday's co-ordinated attacks.
His younger brother, Salah, is on the run after escaping across the Belgian border hours after the shootings and bombings that killed 130 people.
One of their friends told a special documentary for France 2 he heard the two brothers fighting outside his house last Thursday.
"I heard an argument. A massive argument. I leaned against the window and I saw the two brothers. They were there. They were fighting each other," he said.

Nether Wasdale and Wast Water
This is somewhere that I don't seem to walk from very often, which is a shame because there is some lovely countryside in this area. On a few of the times I have began walks here I've simply parked the car in the roadside parking area next to the church. Now, we're asked politely to use the car park 450 yards further down the road.

CEO incentives and the cost of debt

Motivated by concerns that stock-based compensation might lead to excessive risk-taking, this paper's main purpose is to examine the relations between CEO incentives and the cost of debt. Unlike prior research, this paper uses the sensitivities of CEO stock and option portfolios to stock price (delta) and stock return volatility (vega) to measure CEO incentives to invest in risky projects. Higher delta (vega) is predicted to be related to lower (higher) cost of debt. The results show that yield spreads on new debt issues are lower for firms with higher CEO delta and are unrelated to CEO vega. The results also show that yield spreads are higher for firms whose CEOs hold more shares and stock options. In sum, the results suggest that both percentage-ownership and option sensitivity variables are important in understanding relations between CEO incentives and the cost of debt.

Optimised for critical outdoor surveillance applications, with superb image quality and advanced analytics, industry-leading pan speed and weather/vandal resistance. The SNC-WR632 is a high-performance rapid dome network camera that's ideal for wide-ar ea surveillance in challenging environments - from airports, stadiums and urban areas to malls and perimeters. The camera's sensitive, high-resolution Exmor(TM) CMOS sensor is teamed with Sony's new IPELA ENGINE PRO(TM) processing platform, bringing on -board image processing to a new level at Full HD resolution. IPELA ENGINE PRO delivers an extra-wide 130 dB dynamic range at Full HD to assure clear video images, even in harsh lighting environments where other cameras struggle with extremes of light and shade in the same scene. Frame rates as high as 60 fps - double that of normal IP cameras - let operators recognise and assess split-second incidents in recorded footage with unprecedented precision. This advanced processing engine can even correct focal plane distortion from fast camera pans or moving objects in real time. The SNC-WR632 allows continuous 360 PTZ operation, with the industry's fastest pan speed of 700/s letting an operator quickly recall preset areas of interest in a single, s eamless motion. A powerful 30x optical zoom offers wide area coverage, plus the ability to grab detailed close-ups without losing clarity. Designed for dependable round-the-clock performance in demanding outdoor environments, the unitised camera can op erate in temperatures from -40C to +50C, and is IP66/IK10 rated to resist weather and unwelcome tampering by vandals. Suitability for external use is enhanced by a Defog Image Processing feature that reduces smog or haze, while the gyroscopic image s tabiliser combats camera-shake caused by vibration on a windy mounting pole or road bridge.
