Warner 'gutted' by any role in coach's axing
SYDNEY (AFP) ? ?Australian batsman David Warner has admitted he is devastated by the idea that his off-field behaviour may have played a part in the sacking of national coach Mickey Arthur.
Arthur was sensationally ditched just days out from the first Ashes Test, apparently paying the price for a 4-0 Test series loss in India, a poor Champions Trophy campaign and a lack of player discipline.
This last was highlighted by an incident in which Warner punched England's Joe Root in a Birmingham bar following a Champions Trophy defeat.
"It was probably another thing that was gutting, that I may have played a part in that," Warner said on Monday.
Warner served a ban for the incident but without having played in any warm-up matches was left out of the Australia side which played the first Ashes Test and lost to England. He will now play with Australia A in Zimbabwe and South Africa to gain match practice.
Speaking on the eve of his departure from London, Warner, 26, spoke of his devastation at not being selected to play the first Ashes Test, saying he "kind of broke down" when he told his mum.
"(It's) massive to miss a Test. As a kid growing up, you want to play in the Ashes and after that incident I went back to my room and I was pretty shattered for a week and a half, two weeks. I still feel the guilt of what happened. I feel myself it's led to me being in this situation at the moment," he said.
"Things would have been different, I would have been able to play those warm-up games and I could have pressed my claims to play in that first Test but that's me. I put my hand up and accepted the consequences and now it's about me trying to put as many runs on the board in these next two games (in Harare and Pretoria) and press forward."
Warner said new coach Darren Lehmann had told him to "go out there and score runs and be myself". "Just get that X factor back that I can have for this team."
He said there were no bans or curfews imposed on him, but he was well aware of the consequences of any further misbehaviour.
"I know if I stuff up again I'm on the first plane home," he said. "No one needs to tell you that because you already know it."

When using temps, make sure temp agency retains control of ...
Using temporary workers can be an effective way to stretch your labor budget without making a long-term staffing commitment. But if a temp sues over alleged discrimination, you may not have saved much money.
To prevent surprises, make sure you treat the temp as a guest?leave the employment details to the agency that supplies the temp. That way, he can?t later claim he was really your employee.
Recent case: Jason worked for Kelly Services and was assigned to a UPS location where he handled billing and collection. Kelly Services managed all payroll matters, including vacation and sick leave. UPS didn?t even provide Jason with a key or swipe card as it did other employees. Instead, every day he reported for duty, he had to be buzzed in after ringing a bell.
When UPS discovered that it was paying Jason for hours not worked and that he might have been altering his time sheets, it told Kelly to find another temp.
Jason sued, alleging that he was a UPS employee and had been fired because of his sexual orientation.
UPS won the case after the court concluded Jason was Kelly?s em??ployee, not UPS?. It looked at factors like workplace access to determine that Jason was a temp and not an employee who could sue UPS. (Scott v. UPS, No. 12-2886, 3rd Cir., 2013)
Final note: The biggest determining factor for whether a worker is an employee or a temp or independent contractor is control.

23-year-old Chinese woman dies after being electrocuted by iPhone 5, Apple to investigate incident
A 23-year-old Chinese woman who was weeks away from her wedding, died last week. The alleged cause? She was electrocuted by her iPhone 5.
Chinese news agency Xinhua reports that police have confirmed the accident and the woman?s death. It?s also being reported that the woman,?Ma Ailun, was electrocuted by her iPhone when she answered it while it was charging. Her sister posted what happened on?Sina Weibo, a Chinese microblogging site similar to Twitter. The message was reposted more than 3,000 times and gained a significant amount of attention in Chinese media.
As we all know, answering your phone while it?s connected to the charger is perfectly normal and safe. It should definitely not result into something like death. According to?Fortune, other family members chimed in on Weibo saying that she had just stepped out from a bath. But authorities say??they could not identify the source of the current that killed her.?
It appears that it might be too early to tell exactly what happened to the woman, despite all the claims being made.
Apple has acknowledged the incident and provided a statement regarding the incident:
?We are deeply saddened to learn of this tragic incident and offer our condolences to the Ma family. We will fully investigate and cooperate with authorities in this matter.?
This is the second phone-related accident to occur recently, as it comes just a few days after a Samsung Galaxy S III exploded and burned a girl?s leg.

More British bankers earn 1 million euros than in rest of EU - study
By Huw Jones
LONDON (Reuters) - More bankers in Britain earned 1 million euros (860.7 thousand pounds) in 2011 than in the rest of the European Union combined, and would easily bust a planned cap on bonuses, the bloc's banking regulator said on Monday.
Publishing figures on bank pay for the first time, the European Banking Authority (EBA) said 2,436 bankers based in the UK pocketed 1 million euros or more in 2011.
Of that total, 1,809 worked in investment banking, 85 in retail banking, 182 in asset management and 360 in other business areas, the EBA said in a report which is part of data-gathering efforts as it draws up rules to help it apply the bonus cap.
The cap will apply to awards for performance in 2014 and onwards.
Britain had opposed the cap, which will limit bonuses to no more than fixed salary, but was outvoted by EU countries who believe it will help stop excessive risk-taking intended to win large awards, as in the run-up to the financial crisis.
The EBA - which has proposed a basic 500,000 euro salary threshold, above which a bonus can be no higher than fixed pay, or twice fixed pay if there is shareholder approval - said just 170 bankers based in Germany earned more than 1 million euros.
It found 162 similarly well rewarded in France, 125 in Spain, 96 in Italy and 36 in the Netherlands.
The UK figures include high earners from domestic players such as HSBC Holdings Plc and Barclays Plc, as well as from units of banks based elsewhere in the EU, such as Deutsche Bank AG, and from other international lenders such as Goldman Sachs Group Inc and JP Morgan Chase & Co.
The EBA's data on the ratio of fixed pay to bonuses showed the vast majority of high earners in 2011 would have bust the cap by between two and four times, with London's investment bankers at the top end of the scale.
Banks are changing how they pay staff to ease the impact of the cap, such as by bumping up fixed pay to bring down the ratio.

Travel: London's Jewish Museum explores the real Amy Winehouse
By JILL LAWLESS
LONDON ? Amy Winehouse seemed to live in public, but her fans never knew the private person.
An exhibition at London's Jewish Museum aims to reveal an intimate side to a troubled star who was also, in the words of her older brother Alex, "simply a little Jewish kid from North London with a big talent."
"Amy Winehouse: A Family Portrait" brings together items from the late singer's London childhood, her stage-school years and her short but stratospheric career in music ? from her first guitar to a posthumous Grammy Award.
By the time she died in 2011 at the age of 27, Winehouse was a larger-than-life figure whose battles with drugs and alcohol, splashed across front pages around the world, sometimes seemed to overshadow her talent. The exhibition shows that she was also a young woman who loved music, loved London and loved her family."It's a story that people don't know about Amy, her family story," museum chief executive Abigail Morris said Tuesday. "You can forget there's a person behind the hype."
Morris said the show was a natural for the Jewish Museum. Winehouse came from a close-knit Jewish family, and the museum is in Camden, the neighborhood where the singer lived for most of her adult life ? where she saw gigs and played them, browsed in second-hand record stores and drank in pubs. It's also the neighborhood where she died of accidental alcohol poisoning at her home in July 2011.
Assembled with help from Alex Winehouse and his wife Riva, the exhibition grew from the Winehouse family's offer to donate one of Amy's dresses. It expanded into a celebration of her Jewish roots, her family and her home city.
"The more we talked the more we realized the exhibition wasn't going to be about her dresses and her clothes," said curator Elizabeth Selby ? though there are several outfits on display, from the shimmery blue dress Winehouse wore at the 2008 Glastonbury Festival to the tracksuits she preferred at home. "It's about her roots and her family life."The exhibition, which opens Wednesday and runs to Sept. 15, traces the singer's family tree back to great-great-grandfather Harris Winehouse, who came to England from Belarus in 1890. Like many other 19th-century migrants, he hoped to reach New York, but landed up in London's East End.
There are photographs and mementoes from great-grandfather Ben Winehouse, an East End barber, and grandmother Cynthia, a glamorous figure who once dated jazz musician Ronnie Scott and taught Amy to read Tarot cards. Among the singer's many tattoos was an image of her beloved grandmother.
The Winehouse clan eventually left the East End for a leafier London suburb, where Amy was born in 1983 to jazz-loving taxi driver Mitch and pharmacist Janis.
Alex Winehouse has said of the family's Jewish heritage, "We weren't religious, but we were traditional."
"Whereas other families would go down to the seaside on a sunny day, we'd always go down to the East End."Displayed throughout the exhibition are captions written by Alex Winehouse about his demanding but loving sister, whom he recalled in a recent Observer newspaper interview as "annoying, frustrating, a pain in the bum. But she was also incredibly generous, very caring."
The captions run alongside childhood photos, Amy's school uniform, her Dr. Seuss books and comics featuring the Peanuts character Snoopy, whom young Amy adored.
Visitors will learn that as a young adult Winehouse read Charles Bukowski and Fyodor Dostoyevsky, liked Sudoku puzzles and obsessively kept wristbands, backstage passes and ticket stubs from the shows she played and attended.
There are also quotes ? poignant now ? from Amy's application essay to the Sylvia Young Theatre School, which she attended as a youngster. "I want to be remembered for being an actress, a singer," she wrote ? adding that she also wanted "to sing in lessons without being told to shut up."
Winehouse gained critical praise with her jazz-influenced 2003 debut album "Frank" and became a global smash three years later with "Back to Black," a fusion of soul, jazz and 1960s pop with a 21st-century sensibility.
The exhibition includes albums from Winehouse's collection that reveal an eclectic musical taste influenced by her family ? from Frank Sinatra, whose songs her father crooned, to Thelonious Monk and other artists she heard through her jazz-loving brother.
Among the most revealing items is a list of favorite songs, written by the young Amy in looping schoolgirl handwriting, that ranges from Ella Fitzgerald, Ray Charles and the Platters to Pearl Jam and the Ben Folds Five.
Her brother's note says the tracks remained favorites to the end of her life. One song, Carole King's "So Far Away," was played at her funeral.
Selby said she hoped visitors to the exhibition would "come away with a sense of her as someone with a depth to her ? much more than she was presented in the press."

Nano-tool for designing the next big battery: Eavesdropping on lithium ions
[unable to retrieve full-text content]It's a jungle down there at batteries' atomic level, with ions whacking into electrodes, eventually causing the battery to fail. Now, a scientist has developed a device that lets researchers spy on the actions of lithium ions inside a nanobattery -- and use that data to develop better, longer-lasting batteries to power everything from electric cars to cell phones.

Russian rocket explodes almost instantly after take-off (video)
A unmanned Russian Proton-M rocket exploded moments after leaving the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan today, destroying its payload of three satellites intended for Russia's Glonass GPS system. Fortunately no-one was injured, but local news service Interfax is reporting that nearly 500 tons of fuel from the craft has contaminated the crash site. There's no word on what caused the disaster, but this model's recent history is fraught with equipment failures -- so if you'd like to see the latest disaster (spoiler: explosions) the video resides after the jump.

Ecuador president: Snowden can't leave Moscow

(AP Photo/Martin Mejia)
PORTOVIEJO, Ecuador (AP) ? Edward Snowden is "under the care of the Russian authorities" and can't leave Moscow's international airport without their consent, Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa told The Associated Press Sunday in an interview telegraphing the slim and diminishing possibility that the National Security Agency leaker will end up in Ecuador.
Correa portrayed Russia as entirely the master of Snowden's fate and said Ecuador is still awaiting an asylum request from Snowden before deciding its next moves.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has distanced himself from the case since Snowden arrived in Moscow last week, insisting the 30-year-old former NSA contractor remains in the transit zone of the capital's Sheremetyevo Airport and that as long as he has not legally entered Russia, he is out of the Kremlin's control.
At the same time, the Kremlin said Sunday that it will take public opinion and the views of human rights activists into account when considering Snowden's case, a move that could lay the groundwork for him to seek asylum in Russia.
"This is the decision of Russian authorities," Correa told the AP during a visit to this Pacific coast city. "He doesn't have a passport. I don't know the Russian laws, I don't know if he can leave the airport, but I understand that he can't. At this moment he's under the care of the Russian authorities. If he arrives at an Ecuadorean Embassy we'll analyze his request for asylum."
Last week, several members of Russia's Presidential Council for Human Rights spoke out in support of Snowden, saying he deserved to receive political asylum in the country of his choice and should not be handed over to the United States. And a handful of protesters picketed outside the Moscow airport in what appeared to be an orchestrated demonstration on Friday, holding signs reading "Edward, Russia is your second motherland" and "Russia is behind Snowden."
Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Ekho Moskvy radio that while Snowden is not Russia's concern, the Kremlin is aware of the viewpoints of Russian experts and representatives of human rights organizations.
"Public opinion on the subject is very rich," Peskov said in the radio interview. "We are aware of this and are taking it into account."
Correa said he had no idea Snowden's intended destination was Ecuador when he fled Hong Kong for Russia last week. He said the Ecuadorean consul in London committed "a serious error" by not consulting officials in Ecuador's capital when the consul issued a letter of safe passage for Snowden. He said the consul would be punished, although he didn't specify how.
Analysts familiar with the workings of the Ecuadorean government said Correa's claims that the decision was entirely Russia's appeared to be at least partly disingenuous. They said they believed Correa's administration at first intended to host Snowden, then started back-tracking this week when the possible consequences became clearer.
"I think the government started to realize the dimensions of what it was getting itself into, how it was managing things and the consequences that this could bring," said Santiago Basabe, an analyst and professor of political sciences at the Latin American School of Social Sciences in the Ecuadorean capital, Quito. "So it started pulling back, and they'll never tell us why, but I think the alarm bells started to go off from people very close to the government, maybe Ecuador's ambassador in Washington warned them about the consequences of asylum for Snowden."
Correa said Snowden must assume responsibility if he broke U.S. laws, but added the broader legitimacy of Snowden's action must be taken into consideration. He said Ecuador would still consider an asylum request but only if Snowden is able to make it to Ecuador or an Ecuadorean Embassy to apply.
The U.S. is seeking the former NSA contractor's extradition for leaking secret documents that, among other things, detail U.S. surveillance of international online activity. On Sunday, German magazine Der Spiegel reported that classified documents taken by Snowden also revealed U.S. spies had allegedly bugged European Union offices.
Correa never entirely closed the door to Snowden, whom he said had drawn vital attention to the U.S. eavesdropping program and potential violations of human rights. But Correa appeared to be sending the message that it is unlikely Snowden will ever end up in Ecuador. He repeatedly emphasized the importance of the U.S. legal process and praised Vice President Joe Biden for what he described as a courteous and appreciated half-hour call about the Snowden case on Friday.
He similarly declined to reject an important set of U.S. trade benefits for Ecuadorean exports, again a contrast with his government's unilateral renunciation of a separate set of tariff benefits earlier in the week.
"If he really could have broken North American laws, I am very respectful of other countries and their laws and I believe that someone who breaks the law must assume his responsibilities," Correa said. "But we also believe in human rights and due process."
He said Biden had asked him to send Snowden back to the United States immediately because he faces criminal charges, is a fugitive from justice and has had his passport revoked.
"I told him that we would analyze his opinion, which is very important to us," Correa said, adding that he had demanded the return of several Ecuadoreans who are in the United States but face criminal charges at home.
"I greatly appreciated the call," he said, contrasting it with threats made by a small group of U.S. senators to revoke Ecuadorean trade privileges. "When I received the call from Vice President Biden, which was with great cordiality and a different vision, we really welcomed it a lot."
Ecuadorean officials believe Russian authorities stymied the country's efforts to approve a political asylum application from the former NSA systems analyst, according to government officials with direct knowledge of the case.
Those officials said Ecuador had been making detailed plans to receive and host Snowden. One of the officials said Russia's refusal to let Snowden leave or be picked up by Ecuadorean officials had thwarted the plans. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to discuss the case by name.
One of the officials said Snowden had intended to travel from Moscow to the Ecuadorean capital of Quito. The official said Ecuador had also asked Russia to let Snowden take a commercial flight to meet Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino in Vietnam or Singapore, where Patino was on an official trip.
The Russians rejected all of Ecuador's requests to let Snowden leave Moscow, or to let an Ecuadorean government plane pick him up there, the official said.
Asked Sunday about those accounts, Correa responded, without elaborating, "We don't have long-range aircraft. It's a joke."
Snowden's path to Ecuador would have gone through Cuba, which said little about the case all week, including whether it would have allowed him to use its territory to transit.
Cuban leader Fidel Castro praised Correa's rejection of U.S. trade pressure, expressing his "sympathies" for the Ecuadorean leader in a Sunday editorial in the state press.
