After the one finger, and Joachim Loew Barak refused to talk about the other, Barak rejected the German Football Association President ciwangqige requires the reconciliation of both proposals. Recently, told the times interview, Barak said : " no longer validity for our country, which I always feel sorry, just felt like this before and eight weeks has been different. Yes, I am not happy, this is not a secret. Most frustrating me is, I don't have access to opportunities, especially in the national team. In the FA Cup final after the injury, a lot of things that I had not expected to occur, from which I learned a lot, but I'm not angry. Just some of the people around me makes me very angry, no longer angry because they can't hurt me now. Perhaps is a good thing to me, that's life. ”
Barak said, represents the pressure of playing in Germany is too big, this is an outsider can't understand. In fact, even now the international, or may not be able to realize when Barak's situation. When football suffered the most in Germany Valley, Barak is outside in addition to the goalkeeper position, the only world class stars, need someone to dispatch field before and after, bear all pressure from the outside world, must come forward at a crucial time, this war European Championship and is leading the German men's basketball Dirk Nowitzki has some similar. Barak will now say that they enjoy the feeling of not stand in the forefront, although we do not know if this sentence really comes from his heart.
That day in the cafe, Joachim Loew had bought, and Barak shook hands after saying goodbye, both are left from the back door, there are two taxi waiting there. In fact, even the fans like Barak, also recognized that today's German team no longer needs him, only accused but Joachim Loew, who practice of dealing with this matter. Barak and Joachim Loew pit bull approach, how much is a bit radical, of course, such things happen in Barak's career is not the first time.

It lets you download full-color
Golf is a constant quest for improvement, which is why new clubs, balls, training aids and other gadgets are introduced each year. If gadgets were truly the answer, of course, there would be more top-notch golfers littering the links.
Nonetheless, I tested a few new golf devices in the off-chance one might bring me a step closer to breaking 80 on a par-72 course for the first time. Although I didn't manage that, I found some promising companions.
The Callaway uPro, from Callaway Golf Company, is a GPS device about the size of a deck of cards. It tells you where you are in relation to the hole you're trying to knock the ball into.
Global positioning system technology is familiar to the golf bag, but the uPro has several notable features. It lets you download full-color, birds-eye-view video clips of the course you're playing, so you can see trees, fairway widths and hazards that lie around the blind corner.
I connected the uPro to my PC and downloaded some of my local golf course maps to the device.
There are both free and paid versions of various golf courses. A single course map costs $10, and multi-course packs go for as much as $180 for 150 courses of your choosing.
The free ones provide basic yardage to the green, icons representing hazards and a few other features. The "Pro" paid versions gave me the flyover videos.
The Pro version also helped me select the best clubs for my shots by giving me the distance from where I stood to the spot I wanted my ball to come to rest. Using a navigation pad on the device, I moved an on-screen icon to my desired landing spot, and uPro gave me the distance to that location.
As I played the nine-hole Candler Park course in Atlanta, uPro gave me accurate yardage for all of my shots. That helped my game when I made solid contact with the ball, though very little when I misfired a shot.
The uPro is a fine device with premium GPS capabilities. It's lightweight, and I barely felt it when I shoved it in my back pocket during shots. I was also able to keep score for my round with the uPro, which handled all the multitasking just fine. I'd buy it if I played a lot of long courses where distance data are at a premium, but it's disappointing to have to pay extra for the Pro course maps.
The Garmin Approach S1, from Garmin International, is a nifty GPS watch that offers important course info at a glance. No golf aid I've ever tried was easier to use than this one. I simply put it on my wrist and headed to the course.
All the course data are free and appear automatically. When I got to the Stonemount Course in Stone Mountain, Georgia, the Approach S1 immediately recognized the course and my hole and gave me the yardage to the front, middle and back of the green. The numbers adjusted automatically when I arrived at my next shot, the next hole, and so on.
I never had to press a button unless I wanted to measure the distance of a shot I just hit. I could simply glance at it and know that I had 143 yards to the middle of a green. I can't consistently hit 143 yards, but that battle is for another day.
My favorite device was the Garmin Approach G5. It's a smart, waterproof handheld GPS device that gave me all the features I could want.
It had thousands of free, detailed golf course maps preloaded into memory, gave me accurate yardage for shots and allowed me to keep score for multiple players. Best of all, it's a touch-screen device with a brilliant display and intuitive menus.
The Garmin S1 merely provides yardage numbers. The G5 device gives you everything, in a detailed graphic display. It was easier and faster to input scores and plan shot strategy with Garmin's G5 than using the Callaway device, which has a similar feature.
To plan my shots, I used my thumb to move a red circle on the screen to my desired landing spot on each hole at Stonemount. I could quickly measure my shots and log distances into the device's memory. After the yardage was measured, I simply tapped an on-screen button to select the club I used. It only takes a few seconds.
After my round, I went home and connected the Approach G5 to my PC. I saved scorecards for each round and displayed them on a Web page. Garmin's free software (PC or Mac) also tracked the number of putts I tapped for the round (many), the number of greens I hit in regulation (few) and the average distance I hit with my clubs.
I won't be shooting under 80 any time soon. But I loved the full repertoire of features that the Garmin Approach G5 provided. It would make a good addition to my golf bag.

Outburst came on last day of two-year probation
NEW YORK - Serena Williams escaped with a $2,000 fine on Monday when tennis officials ruled that her verbal abuse of an umpire during Sunday's US Open final was not a major offense.
The American was investigated by the Grand Slam Committee after she unleashed a torrent of abuse against Eva Asderaki, the Greek umpire who oversaw her shock loss to Australia's Sam Stosur.
Williams, who was on the last day of a two-year probation over an ugly incident at the 2009 US Open, could have faced a more severe penalty, including a hefty fine and a possible suspension, but officials took a lenient line.
http://jerseyscheap.org/
US Tennis Association (USTA) tournament director Brian Earley fined Williams $2,000 and the Grand Slam Committee Director agreed that was a sufficient penalty.
"This fine is consistent with similar offenses at Grand Slam events," the USTA said in a statement. "After independently reviewing the incident which served as the basis for the code violation, and taking into account the level of fine imposed by the US Open referee, the Grand Slam Committee Director has determined that Ms. Williams' conduct, while verbally abusive, does not rise to the level of a major offense under the Grand Slam Code of Conduct."

Williams was investigated by officials after she was issued with a code violation for arguing with the umpire during her loss to Stosur.
The American lost her composure when she was docked a point for screaming "Come on!" just as Stosur was about to try and return a shot. She was then given a code violation after yelling at the umpire.
"If you ever see me walking down the hall, look the other way because you're out of control," Williams told the umpire. "You're out of control. You are unattractive inside.
"Code violation for this? I expressed myself, we're in America last time I checked. Don't look at me. Don't look my way."
Williams later said her comments were made in the heat of the moment and she had no reason to apologise but officials said they were taking a closer at the incident because Williams remained under probation for her foul-mouthed rant in 2009 during a semi-final loss to eventual champion Kim Clijsters.
She was fined $82,500 and warned that the fine would be doubled and she could be suspended from other grand slams if she committed another "major offense" in the next two years.

Trophy because of a wrist injury
PARIS - Long-hitting Spaniard Alvaro Quiros has pulled out of this week's Seve Trophy because of a wrist injury, organisers said on Monday.
Quiros will be replaced by Frenchman Raphael Jacquelin in the Continental Europe side to face Britain and Ireland in the biennial event at St Nom La Breteche which starts on Thursday.
Jacquelin, 37, was next in line for a place in the team through the Race to Dubai qualifying list. It will be his fourth appearance in the competition.
"It is desperately disappointing news for Alvaro," Europe captain Jean Van de Velde told the tour's website (http://birkenstocksshops.com/). "He wanted to play and to be able to honour the memory of Seve.
"He is a wonderful player and a great character. Having said that, Raphael is an outstanding player as he proved in three previous Seve Trophies when he collected eight-and-a-half points."
Britain and Ireland have won the trophy five times and Europe once since the event was launched by Spanish great Seve Ballesteros, who died earlier this year after a long battle with brain cancer.
