Farah full of confidence while Ennis rounds off top weekend

With due respect to Andy Vernon of Aldershot Farnham and District Athletics Club and the rest of the 5,000m field at the Aviva UK Trials and Championships yesterday, there will be tougher opposition for Mo Farah to tackle before the summer is out.

The reigning world and Olympic champion and world record holder at 5,000m and 10,000m,Dropship soccer jersey Bekele has not raced since January last year but is planning a comeback to defend his 10,000m title at the World Championships in Daegu, South Korea, at the end of the month. He has never been beaten at the 25-lap distance.

Farah has been unbeaten in his last nine races now, having shot past Vernon with 300m remaining yesterday to claim a formality of a national title in Birmingham in 14min 00.72sec – more than a minute outside the British record time he set in Monaco 10 days ago. On the strength of the razor-sharp form he has been showing since hitting the Oregon trail and teaming up with Alberto Salazar, the 28-year-old Londoner – not Bekele or any other of the Ethiopians or Kenyans – will line up as the man to beat when the world 10,000m title will be on the line on Sunday 28 August.

Asked whether he believed he could win gold in Daegu, Farah replied: “I think there’s definitely a good chance. It’s nice to have that confidence but running in championships and running fast times are very different.

“Bekele is a different class. He’s run 12:37, so he’s a completely different level. But at the same time it would be nice to race someone who is so good. I can’t say I feel invincible, but I do feel I’m ready. I’ve definitely got confidence.digital video recorders I’m going out there believing I can win a medal.”

That belief is likely to be strengthened by a third British record of the summer for Farah at the Aviva London Grand Prix at Crystal Palace on Friday night. He runs in the 3,000m, with Dave Moorcroft’s 29-year-old figures of 7:32.79 at his mercy.

Sadly, the other British athlete occupying a top place in the world rankings, Jessica Ennis, the queen of the heptathlon world, will not be in action at the Palace. The 100m hurdles in the low-key LEAP Meeting at Loughborough on 11 August will be her final outing before she defends her world crown in South Korea.

It will also be the Sheffield woman’s last competitive appearance in Britain before the home Olympic year of 2012 comes round. Still, the crowd at the Alexander Stadium saw plenty of Ennis in hurdling, jumping and throwing action on Saturday and Sunday.

The great British all-rounder started off on Saturday by equalling her outdoor personal best in the shot, 14.25m, then cleared 1.89m for victory in the high jump and clocked 12.96sec for second place behind British record holder Tiffany Porter in the 100m hurdles. Yesterday she took third place in the long jump with 6.44m, a season’s best, and finished 10th in the javelin with 42.93m.

Argentina in drive for more Chinese capital

Argentina in drive for more Chinese capital

More Chinese investments are expected to flow to Argentina this year as the two governments signed several economic cooperation agreements this week, Luis Kreckler, Argentine secretary of trade and international economic relations, said on Wednesday.

The agreements cover sectors including agriculture, energy, transportation and mining, Kreckler told China Daily, without disclosing details.

The trade secretary headed a delegation of 50 high-level Argentine government officials in a visit to Beijing this week.timberland boots sale The delegation included agriculture, mining, transportation and international trade officials.

This was the latest of many visits by state heads and delegations between the two countries since 2010.

“Chinese investments are becoming more and more important (to Argentina). We care about the partnership with China and are very optimistic about future cooperation,” he said.

The economic relationship has expanded swiftly in recent years. In 2010, bilateral trade jumped by 65.chi hair straigntener6 percent year-on-year to $12.9 billion, data from the Chinese Ministry of Commerce showed.

As of last month, China had become the second-largest trading partner for Argentina, while Argentina was China’s fourth-largest trading partner in Latin America, the ministry said.

The South American country has also benefited from China’s emergence as a major global investor. The country attracted Chinese investments totaling $13 billion during the January-June period this year, Argentine official data showed.

Chinese investment has created more than 5,800 jobs in Argentina so far and will provide the Argentine people with 4,000 to 5,000 jobs in the next three years, said Wang Chao,polo ralph Lauren Chinese vice-minister of commerce.

In the meantime, Chinese businesses are becoming increasingly active in Argentina. They are bidding to build nuclear power stations, natural gas plants and rail projects.

In some cases, they simply buy Argentine companies. Last May, China National Offshore Oil Corp Ltd bought 50 percent of Bridas Corp for $3.1 billion. Bridas is a major oil and natural gas holding company.

These moves have meant an unprecedented amount of Chinese investment into Argentina.wholesales mac Lip gloss Projects under discussion between the two governments are valued at $15 billion, Wang said.

“We are confident about better cooperation in the coming years,the north face jackets” he added.

The agricultural industry in Argentina is particularly interested in attracting more Chinese investments, said Julian Dominguez, the agriculture minister.

The Art of Mathematics

The Art of Mathematics

What if mathematical theories could be expressed using artworks instead of plus signs and pi symbols? Dorothea Rockburne has devoted four decades to the attempt, and the results are on view at the Parrish Art Museum in Southampton, N.Y., through Aug. 14.

Take disjunction, the logical argument that if A is true and B is true, their combination must also be true. Math textbooks usually illustrate this idea with a pair of slightly overlapping circles. In the 1970s, Ms. Rockburne began exploring this idea by soaking long sheets of paper in crude oil, a substance that permeated the paper without breaking it down into pulp. Instead, both materials could co-exist.

In one of her best-known works, 1971’s “Scalar,” she arranged a group of these oily, rust-colored sheets on a wall so that they slightly overlapped. Other series involved folding or layering linen or painted sheets into kaleidoscopes.

In 1972, conceptual artist Mel Bochner praised her in an art magazine for doing “some of the most advanced thinking in art,” and museums like the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston have since collected her work.

Earlier this week, Ms. Rockburne, age 78, sitting in her airy SoHo studio, said her artistic focus wasn’t always so cerebral. Growing up in Montreal, she drew nudes like every other academically trained student in the city’s School of Art and Design. When she arrived at North Carolina’s Black Mountain College in 1950, she said her classmates were mostly copying the messy abstractions of Willem de Kooning— except for a pair of “handsome” friends in her photography class, Robert Rauschenberg and Cy Twombly.

Like them, she had wearied of Abstract Expressionism, and they encouraged her to toy with other styles. But as years passed and their work won fame, she found herself working as a New York waitress, a single mother who spent her evenings in an apartment with too little room left to paint. Then she remembered Max Dehn, a math professor at Black Mountain whom she had admired in part because he seemed to revel in the rigor of hard thinking. She started reading math texts like Henri Poincaré’s “Science and Method” and hit upon an epiphany: “I wanted to see the math I was reading about.”

She eventually showed a few pieces to Mr. Rauschenberg, who put her work in a benefit group show at Leo Castelli’s gallery in 1966. Within a few years, her career began to take off.

Tunis outsider joins interior ministry amid security fears

Tunisia’s interim government appointed a civil rights activist and lawyer as new junior interior minister on Friday as part of a shakeup amid worries of a power vacuum ahead of elections.chanel handbags

State news agency TAP said Lazhar Akermi was appointed as junior minister charged with instituting reforms. Four cabinet ministers were also replaced in a reshuffle.

A popular uprising toppled President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali this year, unleashing pro-democracy movements across North Africa and the Middle East.

But analysts fear a political and security vacuum ahead of October elections for an assembly to write a new constitution. This vote was delayed from July, and parliamentary and presidential elections are not expected until next year.

The interior ministry says suspected al Qaeda militants opened fire on security forces in May in north Tunisia, killing four people, while three of the nine assailants were shot dead.

In June tribal clashes broke out in one town, security forces clashed with police in a protest,Marc Jacobs Leather Handbag and Islamists attacked a Tunis cinema for showing a film deemed as promoting atheism.

“The government is now convinced of the need for some reforms in security apparatus and the message is that reform is needed from outside,” commentator Salah Attia told Reuters in response to Akermi’s appointment.

“But will the security apparatus accept someone from outside the institution? That’s the question,” said Attia, who writes in the daily Assabah newspaper.chi hair straigntener
