Man United humbled again in Japan

MANCHESTER United stumbled to a 3-2 defeat against Japan's Yokohama Marinos in their second loss in three games under new manager David Moyes.

The English champions fell behind after only a minute but they recovered to lead 2-1 heading into the second half thanks to Jesse Lindgard's strike and a Yokohama own goal.

But Fabio Aguiar headed the scores level before Yoshihito Fujita's winner three minutes from time removed further gloss from United's pre-season Asian tour.

"We had a chance to finish off the game at 2-1 and had a great chance to make it 3-1, and we thought we had chances after that as well but we didn't take them. So it was a tough game," said Moyes.

"It was the first time that I got a chance to see Shinji (Kagawa) playing. He had a great chance to score, but overall I was pleased to get him," added the Scot.

So far under Moyes, United have lost 1-0 in Bangkok and won 5-1 in Melbourne, and they got off to a horror start in hot and humid conditions in Yokohama.

The game was just a minute old when Brazilian striker Marquinhos latched on to a poor clearance from United custodian David de Gea to fire the hosts in front from inside the box.

The setback stung the Premier League champions and talented Belgian teen Adnan Januzaj nearly put them level with a crisp strike which was just off-target.

Januzaj, 18, then got back to head a chance off the line but it was new signing Wilfried Zaha who orchestrated United's opener when he drifted past his man into the box.

The ex-Crystal Palace man's low cross caused mayhem and it was Lindgard on hand to net his third goal in two games, after Saturday's brace against the A-League All-Stars.

Yokohama handed United the lead when Januzaj, United's reserve team player of last season, fired a free-kick which came off the unfortunate Masakazu Tashiro and over the line.

But the hosts were back on terms after the break when de Gea failed to deal with a corner and Brazilian defender Fabio Aguiar's header moved the score to 2-2.

Kagawa drew a huge cheer when he came on just after the hour-mark, and United's Japanese playmaker nearly raised the roof when he got clear -- but his shot failed to beat the 'keeper.

Ashley Young hit one into the side-netting but it was Yokohama who had the final word when Fujita swept home the winning goal in the 87th minute.

Moyes, facing the stiff challenge of following Alex Ferguson's 27-year, trophy-laden reign, now leads his team west for a game against Japan's Cerezo Osaka on Friday.

Being In The Minority Can Cost You And Your Company

The racial wage gap in the United States ? the gap in salary between whites and blacks with similar levels of education and experience ? is shaped by geography, according to new social science research.

The next time you are in an office cafeteria, notice who sits next to whom at lunch.

The larger the city, the larger the racial wage gap, according to researchers Elizabeth Ananat, Shihe Fu and Stephen L. Ross, whose findings were recently published by the National Bureau of Economic Research.

"The average racial gap in metropolitan areas of around one million people ? and you can think of a place like Tulsa, Okla. ? is about 20 percent smaller than the gap in the nation's largest metro areas of Chicago, L.A. and New York," said Ananat in an interview.

Ananat's research suggests that the racial gap is not directly the result of prejudice or, at least, prejudice conventionally defined. Rather it has to do with patterns of social interactions that are shaped by race ? and a phenomenon that economists call spillovers.

Economists have long noted that multiple companies in an industry often congregate in an area ? think of movie companies in Hollywood or investment bankers on Wall Street ? and observed that these firms become more profitable. Indeed, this may be one reason why an up-and-coming tech company would want to locate in Silicon Valley, rather than in Tennessee, where costs are far cheaper.

But why do companies that congregate become more profitable? It has to do, Ananat said, with the fact that when a number of companies involved in similar work are concentrated in one area, they effectively create an ecosystem where ideas and refinements can spread easily from one company to the next, and increase productivity overall.

"It's stuff in the ether ? you know, these tips that get communicated," Ananat said. "For any job it's going to be specific to that job. That's why they are so hard to identify and so valuable. We say, 'oh, you're not doing that quite right. Do it just this way instead.'"

What does all of this have to do with the racial wage gap? Much of this valuable information that gets transmitted and shared in the ecosystem happens in informal or social settings ? over lunch, or a beer after work, or even at church on Sunday. Those social settings tend to be segregated, with whites tending to spend time with whites and blacks with blacks. (The next time you are in an office cafeteria, notice who sits next to whom at lunch.) In a world where ethnic groups cluster together, those in the minority are less likely to share and benefit from spillover effects in the ecosystem, and are therefore less likely to learn early on about important company developments or technological innovations.

"People of the same race are much more likely to have conversations where they share ideas," she said. "The fact is you just talk more about everything with people who you feel more comfortable with than with people you feel less comfortable with. And we know that one of the big predictors of who you feel comfortable with is whether you are of the same ethnicity."

Ananat explained the findings with a hypothetical example: "Say there are 1000 black engineers in Silicon Valley, compared to 20 in Topeka, and there are 10,000 total engineers in Silicon Valley, compared to 500 in Topeka. Then blacks make up 10 percent of engineers in Silicon Valley, compared to 4 percent in Topeka."

"A black engineer in Silicon Valley has 980 more black engineers to get spillovers from than does a black engineer in Topeka," she continued in an email. "Meanwhile, a white engineer in Silicon Valley has 8,500 more white engineers to benefit from than a white engineer in Topeka. Thus, while both white and black engineers' wages will be higher in Silicon Valley than in Topeka, the white engineer's wages will increase more than the black engineer's do?in effect, the white engineer is living in a much bigger city (of engineers) than the black engineer is, if only people within one's own race matter for urban spillovers."

Obviously, in the real world, social encounters are not totally segregated and other factors ? including out-and-out prejudice ? could play a role. But what seems to be happening, Ananat said, is that minority groups often miss out on the valuable tips and mentoring that make these ecosystems so productive and profitable. The same thing happens with other ethnic minorities, and even with whites ? when they are in a minority.

Companies that want to take full advantage of spillover effects would do well to find ways to encourage employees to share information, set up mentoring programs, and generally encourage employees to connect informally and socially, Ananat said.

Social scientists, she added, have long talked about the value of "code-switchers" ? people adept at talking across differences and who relate well to those from other groups. Companies with more code-switchers are likely to spread the wealth of spillover effects more equitably.

Asian stocks higher after Wall Street gains

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) ? Asian stock markets rose Tuesday as overnight gains on Wall Street and the Japanese prime minister's vow to focus on economic reforms helped investors brush off a downbeat U.S. housing survey and weak quarterly earnings.

Analysts said downbeat news on the U.S. economy was double-edged for financial markets. On one hand, the surprising fall in U.S. existing home sales in June to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.08 million dampened optimism about the U.S. economic recovery. But investors could also see the weak data as ensuring continued bond-buying by the U.S. Federal Reserve.

Emerging market stocks have lost ground since Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said the central bank will wind down its stimulus when the U.S. economy recovers. The remarks rattled financial markets in Asia, as it prompted foreign investors to pull out their funds from the emerging markets.

"As the U.S. economic data slows down, it could delay the talk on the so-called exit strategies, relieving investors who are worried about emerging markets," said Lim Dong-min, an economist at Kyobo Securities in Seoul.

A meeting among the central bank chiefs and finance ministers from the Group of 20 countries in Moscow ended with a positive note for emerging markets on Sunday. Major economies such as the U.S. indicated they will be mindful of the impact on the emerging markets as they begin to scale back monetary easing.

Japan's Nikkei 225 was 0.8 percent higher at 14,771.46, its second day of gains since Prime Minister's Shinzo Abe's ruling coalition gained control of the upper house in weekend elections, possibly making it easier to implement reforms aimed at lifting the world's No. 3 economy out of its long slump.

On Monday, Abe pledged that economic recovery will be the government's top priority.

Since Abe took office following a lower house election victory in late December, aggressive monetary easing and government spending have helped push stocks higher while business confidence has improved and the weaker yen has eased pressure on exporters.

South Korea's Kospi rose 1.1 percent to 1,901.21. South Korea's government said it will unveil a new set of measures to boost the stagnant real estate market including lower taxes on purchases of properties.

Hong Kong's Hang Seng advanced 2.2 percent to 21,879.66 and Australia's S&P/ASX 200 gained 0.2 percent to 5,011.10. Stocks in mainland China, Taiwan, the Philippines and Indonesia also rose.

Investors in Asia are looking ahead to a week full of corporate earnings reports. Apple Inc. will disclose its quarterly results after the U.S. market closes on Tuesday. In Seoul, Asian tech titan Samsung Electronics will release its quarterly performance before trading starts on Friday.

On Monday, the Dow Jones industrial inched up 0.01 percent to 15,545.55. McDonald's slump following its weaker-than-expected quarterly performance weighed on the index.

The Nasdaq composite climbed 0.4 percent to 3,600.39. The S&P 500 rose 0.2 percent to 1,695.53 on Monday. The index is at an all-time high, though trading volumes were lower than average.

In currency markets, the dollar rose to 99.46 yen from 99.32 yen late Monday. The euro rose to $1.3198 from $1.3186.

Benchmark crude for September delivery was up 11 cents to $107.05 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract dropped $1.14 to finish at $106.91 on Monday.

Get 'em off! Man gets into a strip club wearing Google Glass

He's fascinated.

(Credit: Patrick Hill/YouTube Screenshot by Chris Matyszcyk/CNET)

The heart of wearing Google Glass isn't merely the wish to be at the forefront of technology -- it's the excitement of seeing what you can get away with.

And so it was that last month New York web developer Patrick Hill decided he'd see if he could slide past the doorman of a strip club wearing Google Glass.

Accompanied by a New York Post reporter, Hill tried to enter the VIP club in Manhattan.

Subsequently, he posted the footage to YouTube, where, oddly, few have taken a look. So I thought I'd embed it here, as the next chapter in "Men Wearing Google Glass And Filming Not Much Happening" Series.

First, there was Chris Barrett who witnessed an arrest on the New Jersey shore and then wandered into an Atlantic City casino, looking like a borg from the 'burb.

Hill's quest, though, was even more daring. Strip clubs have doormen. They are men built like a door. They can be a lot less friendly than many of the staff inside.

Perhaps this doorman was charitable because Hill and friend entered before 9.

He was also quite fascinated by the device. He asked if it was a computer. The next question: "How much d'you pay for that?"

Hill proudly explained what it was and then promised that when Google Glass is available to consumers it will be "like five-, six hundred bucks."

That must be news to Google.

The doorman -- clearly a future Sergey Brin disciple -- was enchanted by one aspect: "So you don't have to pick up the "f***ing phone or nothing," he said.

I can see the perfect Google Glass tagline emerging through those words.

What's curious is that even though Hill explained to the doorman that Glass has a camera, he was allowed right in.

This belies the notion that all strip clubs have already banned the device.

When he entered the club, one bartender served him. However, a second bartender came over and asked if he was recording.

Her suspicions brought the manager over who requested he check it at the coat check.

More Technically Incorrect

"I told him I wasn't going to check my $1,500 device," Hill told me. So a compromise was reached. He kept it in his pocket and promised not to film.

Hill told me: "He agreed with that but warned if he saw it out of my pocket he would kick me out."

This sort of negotiation might become commonplace as Glass use becomes wider. Certainly, some establishments will set firm, public rules.

Hill, though, thinks this is all overreaction. He insisted: "Even without Glass, we have no privacy. So to think people are up in arms about privacy when it comes to Glass is pretty silly to me when we already have no privacy. I think people need to be more worried about what Uncle Sam is prying in on."

If only life were quite that simple. No one wants to be filmed without their knowledge. Least of all Katya from Kazakhstan as she's performing.

It's not merely about privacy. It's about acting like something of a pillock.

Would you walk into a strip club, waving your cell phone before you, obviously filming everything that's happening? Then don't do it with Google Glass.

In any case, you really think that wearing Google Glass in a strip club is going to make you look more attractive?

Oh, you do, you you?

Helen Thomas, pioneering journalist who retired following anti-Israel jibes, dies

(JTA) ? Helen Thomas, who paved the way for female journalists in Washington and beyond and retired after saying Jews should ?get the hell out of Palestine,? has died.

Thomas, who reported on every U.S. president from John F. Kennedy to Barack Obama working mostly for United Press International, died Saturday at? her home in Washington from what was described as a long illness. She was 92.

She was known for ending many presidential news conferences with the phrase ?Thank you, Mr. President.?

Thomas began as a copy girl at the Washington Daily News before joining the UPI wire service in 1943. She started out covering the young Kennedy family, becoming White House Bureau chief in 1974 ? the first woman to have the post.

In 2000, she left UPI after it was purchased by News World Communications, which was founded by the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, leader of the Unification Church. She was quickly hired as a Washington-based columnist for the Hearst Corp.

At a White House celebration for American Jewish Heritage Month in May 2010, Thomas was asked on video if she had any ?comments on Israel.?

?Tell them to get the hell out of Palestine,? Thomas, the daughter of Lebanese immigrants, told Rabbi David Nesenoff of RabbiLive.com. ?Remember, these people are occupied, and it?s their land.?

Nesenoff asked where she thought they should go.

?Go home,? she responded.

Asked to elaborate, Thomas said, ?Poland, Germany,? and after more prompting by the rabbi, ?and America, and everywhere else.?

The video was posted five days later and almost immediately went viral, prompting calls for her firing. Thomas issued an apology, saying she deeply regretted her comments.

?They do not reflect my heartfelt belief that peace will come to the Middle East only when all parties recognize the need for mutual respect and tolerance,? she said.

Thomas resigned several days later after The White House Correspondents Association met to consider stripping her of her front-row center seat in the briefing room.

Last year, Thomas received a prize in journalism from a representative of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
