Sports minister slams CIS League project

Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko watches the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final in Sochi (RIA Novosti / Vladimir Pesnya)

The discussed project of a new football league which would unite the top clubs from the former Soviet States is a false goal, believes Russia?s Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko.

??We see that the popularity of football [in Russia] is decreasing, and without proper events to promote this sport the interest towards it can be quickly lost,? Mutko told Rossiya 2 channel. ?But instead of development, we see false goal being set. And the CIS Championships is surely one of those."

The idea of recreating a championship of Soviet Union was raised by Gazprom boss Aleksey Miller, and received backing from CSKA Moscow President Evgeny Giner and Anzhi CEO, Konstantin Remchukov.

"Nobody has the right to organize a hobnob,? the official stressed. ?If this championship will receive they status of commercial event, then let them play as they want, finding dates outside the official calendar. But no national federation would ever agree to give quotas in European events to such a tournament.?

The authors of CIS League project believe it?ll take them one-and-a-half years to prepare everything for the championship?s maiden season.

Meanwhile, clubs from Georgia and Azerbaijan have already stated that they have no interest of playing in the same league with their former Soviet neighbors.

UFC 155?s Derek Brunson was a cheerleader before he started fighting

Long before he put together a 9-2 record and earned a spot against Chris Leben at UFC 155, Derek Brunson was a cheerleader. As he shows in his audition video for "The Ultimate Fighter," Brunson was an accomplished tumbler and stunter. Skip to the 2:10 mark to see him toss his partner up into one-handed stunts and throw a double-twisting flip.

He talked about his cheerleading past with MMA Fighting, and pointed out how difficult cheerleading can be.

"I can do flips, and I was like tossing girls in the air. That's where I got my strength from, just controlling girls in the air. You get core strength, your chest gets all big. It makes you really strong, like you look on steroids, but you don't have to take steroids because of cheerleading."

Though Brunson wrestled in college, he said he did have scholarship offers for cheerleading. Wrestling and eventually MMA won out. Brunson admitted that MMA is more dangerous than cheerleading, but it's still tough.

"Cheerleading is definitely hard on your body. That's why I decided to wrestle in college, not cheerlead."

House to return to session Sunday evening

(AP) ? The House will be back in session Sunday evening as the "fiscal cliff" looms, threatening across-the-board tax increases and spending cuts with the new year.

Officials said the Republican leadership informed the GOP rank and file of the plan to meet during a conference call Thursday.

It is unclear what legislation the House might consider Sunday, since Speaker John Boehner is publicly insisting that the Senate must make the next move to avert the cliff.

With the Senate in session, Democrats in both chambers of Congress have been harshly critical of the House's absence.

The "fiscal cliff" deadline is four days away.

The officials who disclosed plans for the Sunday session did so on condition of anonymity, saying no public announcement had yet been made.

(AP) ? The Clippers came roaring out of the opening tip and kept on going to their 15th consecutive victory.

Boosted by an early 24-9 lead their starters provided, Los Angeles beat Boston 106-77 on Thursday night to become the first team to win that many in a row since the Celtics four years ago.

Matt Barnes tied his season high with 21 points off the bench, fellow reserve Jamal Crawford added 17 points and Chris Paul had 11 assists as the Clippers scored their sixth straight blowout victory. They haven't had a close win during the streak since Nov. 28, when they beat Minnesota by six points.

"Shows we have a lot of depth. I've probably sat out more fourth quarters this season than any of my previous seven seasons," Paul said. "It's a really good feeling now, a good vibe because everyone is enjoying it."

Blake Griffin had 15 points, Caron Butler added 14 and Lamar Odom 13 rebounds to help the Clippers improve the NBA's best record to 23-6.

"Some people may be impressed by the record, but we can't be," Paul said. "We're not measured by our regular-season wins."

Griffin agreed, saying, "We want to be winning in April, May and June."

Kevin Garnett scored 16 points for Boston, which committed 18 turnovers and never led in dropping to .500 at 14-14 with its fifth loss in seven games. Paul Pierce and Jeff Green added 12 points each to go with 10 apiece from Jason Terry and Rajon Rondo.

Boston's winning streak extended to 19 games in 2008-09.

"Every individual on our team wanted to beat them and every individual tried to do it by themselves instead of just playing our game," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said.

It was the Clippers' largest-ever win against Boston, coming six years to the day of their previous largest, a 100-77 win on Dec. 27, 2006.

"I thought we came out with too much respect. We wanted to back off some of their bigs and Blake hit some shots that he doesn't usually hit," Garnett said. "They came out with a lot of confidence and they packed the paint and that is the reason why have won 15 in a row. They had us on our heels all night."

Barnes had the Clippers' first five points in a 9-0 run that opened the fourth quarter and boosted their lead to 90-67. Willie Green briefly played; otherwise the Clippers' other starters rested to close out the game.

The Celtics were held to 10 points in the final 12 minutes.

"We just want to continue to build good habits," Barnes said. "We jumped on them early and didn't let them have any breathing room."

The Clippers' starters and their bench played to a draw, scoring 53 points each one game after the reserves outscored the starters in a win over Denver on Christmas.

"It still feels like we can get better," said Ronny Turiaf, who had four points and five rebounds. "We're just having fun. We're in the now. We're just trying to ride the wave."

Garnett had six points in the third when the Celtics were narrowly outscored 22-20, but still trailed 82-67. The Clippers' 9-0 run pushed their lead to 21 points before Boston went on a 10-4 run, including 3-pointers by Courtney Lee and Rondo to end the quarter.

The game got chippy at times. In the third, Jared Sullinger was called for a flagrant-1 foul for grabbing the front of Griffin on his way up to dunk. Then Butler and Pierce emerged from a big mass both holding onto the ball, leading to a jump ball. In the first, Rondo was lying on the ball and Paul tried to take it out from under him on the sideline, leading to a testy moment.

The Celtics cut their deficit to four points early in the second quarter ? the closest they came after the opening quarter ? with consecutive 3-pointers by Terry and Lee before the Clippers' second unit rebuilt the double-digit lead the starters had created. Crawford scored 13 points for Los Angeles, highlighted by a fast-break floater and a rainbow 3. He scored the final four points to keep the Clippers ahead 60-47 heading into halftime.

NOTES: The Clippers are assured of finishing December as their best month ever with two games remaining, including the second half of a back-to-back at Utah. They've already surpassed the franchise record for most wins in a month, bettering the old mark of 12 shared by the 1974-75 Buffalo Braves and the 1991-92 Clippers (which included Celtics coach Doc Rivers). ... Boston fell to 5-9 on the road. ... The Clippers' last loss was on Nov. 26 at home against New Orleans. ... Justin Bieber (who had Paul's young son sitting on his lap), Billy Crystal and Olympic 200 sprint champion Allyson Felix were among the Clippers' 67th consecutive sellout crowd.

Report: Cisco To Sell Off Linksys - Business Insider

Getty Images/Ethan Miller

?

Cisco wants to sell its home wireless router unit, Linksys, and may already have a buyer, according to several reports.

Cisco has hired Barclays to shop Linksys around, sources told Bloomberg reporters Serena Saitto and Jordan Robertson. Meanwhile, rumors are circulating that Belkin might already be in the process of a deal for Linksys, a blogger that covers Cisco, Brad Reese, writes.

Belkin also sells wireless routers.

This isn't the first time rumors about the sale of Linksys have surfaced.? Last year, when Cisco hit a tailspin, reorganized and shut down its consumer videocamera unit, Flip, pundits speculated that it could get rid of? Linksys, too. The rationale for shedding Linksys is that Cisco's wants to get rid all of its consumer-only businesses and focus exclusively on enterprises and service providers.

Cisco CEO John Chambers has recently said that Cisco's new strategy is to become an all-around enterprise IT company, with more products and services for the data center.

Cisco bought Linksys in 2003 for $500 million in stock. The home router business has grown more?? competitive and has low margins, so Cisco not even be able to sell Linksys for the $500 million it paid for it, according to Reuters.

It looks as if Linksys sales may be declining, too. Cisco doesn't report revenues on the Linksys products directly. It is lumped into a business unit it calls "other."? Revenues for the "other" unit were $220 million, down 11% over the year-ago quarter, in its most recent quarterly report.

Cisco had no comment.

UPDATED:? The headline of this story originally said that that Cisco was looking to sell its router business when it should have specified Cisco's Linksys wireless router unit.

Understanding the advantages of software development outsourcing

Some time ago, organizations generally appointed offshore suppliers so as to outsource services associated with non-critical commercial processes like contact marketing and customer support. Outsourcing has also been employed for labor-intensive tasks since the labor expenses in some nations are quite economical. Nevertheless, an entirely new trend is emerging these days. With the growth of communication and information technologies, organizations are outsourcing important tasks like?software?development. A fundamental feature that helps any business to run efficiently is known as software development. It helps you in operating your business effectively and enhances your productivity with minimum effort.

?

Remote software development is generally developed and used in the office itself. However, the rising expenses of keeping in-house professionals have turned out to be too expensive. This is the reason why businesses these days are outsourcing software development mostly to save cash.

?

Software development outsourcing ? What are the benefits?

One of the big reasons why organizations are outsourcing software development is the rising expenses. You?ll be able to save a substantial amount of money since you need to make your payments for the services just on a per assignment basis. Outsourcing will help you in getting a devoted team of IT experts who don?t really work as your employees. As a result, you needn?t pay any salary, incentives, or paid holidays. The huge number of flourishing projects performed by experts also made outsourcing trendy. The constructive results of the completed assignments helped organizations in getting the task completed without putting in too much time or effort on the development part.

One more benefit of outsourcing is that, it bridges the gaps in your business. If your organization runs short of the basic work force to start IT projects, a devoted panel of remote software development providers can fill the gap in your company. This helps in improving the competence of your organization even without appointing new staff and connoisseurs.
