It was recently announced that Oklahoma hasreceived verbal pledges from two highly regarded prep football players, Tony Jefferson and Kenny Stills.For Jefferson, who was recruited as an athlete by many schools, Oklahoma will be his third verbalcommitment, following Stanford who was dropped in favor of UCLA.As many of you who have followed this "Laying the Foundation" series know, I don't put a whole lot of stock into a high school student's ability to follow through on promises made before the actual signing of a letter of intent.Tony Jefferson is a good example of why.Jefferson, who I have seen play in person a couple of times and also reviewed tape of him, is a good player.Having said that, he is by no means great. will join Jefferson (if he keeps his word this time) and play for Bob Stoops.Stills, who said the Trojans were his number one choice, attended the USC Rising Stars Camp and wowed everyone with his prowess, which included a 4.4 40-yard dash.However, in keeping with the new Trojans recruiting policy, no offer was made by USC to Stills and he decided to look elsewhere.Although Pete Carroll and his staff did eventually make that offer, it was too late for Stills.Stills will be a very good college football player, and one, who in my mind, will far outshine Tony Jefferson at the next level.More importantly, Kenny Stills took the time to look around and make his decision in a responsible manner.That the Trojans could have had him early on is frustrating from a fan's point of view but what may be even more disconcerting is that the Trojans' coaching staff should have seen how badly this kid wanted to be a Trojan and made him an offer.Having said all that, there may not be a place for Kenny Stills anyway.The 2009 recruiting class already includes Kyle Prater and Robert Woods, two prep wide receivers who are rated higher than Stills by every recruiting service I have read.So maybe it was just a matter of numbers and Stills might have thought better opportunities existed elsewhere.In the final analysis, the loss of Tony Jefferson and Kenny Stills, in my opinion, only half hurts the Trojans for the 2009 recruiting year.Based on the tone of this article, I'll let you decide which half hurts.. (Adds Nippon Steel president comment) TOKYO, Jan 6 (Reuters) - JFE Steel Co wants prices of ironore and coking coal for term supply in the 2009/10 businessyear to fall to at least 2007/08 levels due to a precipitousdecline in steel demand, president Hajime Bada said on Tuesday. "The 07/08 levels that's the minimum for us," Bada toldreporters at a reception for the Japan Iron and SteelFederation. Iron ore and coking coal are major inputs used insteel-making. 
JFE Steel, the world's third biggest steel maker and thecore unit of JFE Holdings Inc (5411.T), late last year becamethe first Japanese player to shut a blast furnace, cuttingoutput in the six months to March by a quarter from thepreceding half year. Bada said talks with miners such as BHP Billiton (BHP.AX)(BLT.L) and Vale (VALE5.SA) could be delayed this year asdeepening economic woes have made forecasts for steel demanddifficult. "We are hoping prices will be set by May at the latest," hesaid. Meanwhile, Shoji Muneoka, president of the world's No.2Nippon Steel Corp (5401.T), said he expects Japan's steelmarket to hit bottom at the end of March and get on a recoverytrack by the middle of the 2009 calendar year. "Carmakers and other clients are sharply reducing output atthe moment as they aim to squeeze inventories before the newfiscal year starts in April," Muneoka told a group ofreporters.
"We expect orders to recover after inventory adjustmentsare completed in March," he said (Reporting by Yuko Inoue; Editing by Lincoln Feast). Mark Cuban needs to shut up and quit complaining.The Houston Rockets beat the Dallas Mavericks in overtime on Friday night at American Airlines Center, and with a flurry of emotions erupting throughout the game on both sides, Cuban (as per usual) had to have the final word.Look, Cuban, just because your damn All-Star took a bloody arm to the locker room doesn’t mean the Rockets or officials cheated to get Houston the win.According to ESPN, Dallas owner Cuban told the media (about an hour following the Rockets 116-108 victory over the Mavericks) that his team was protesting the game; due to “multiple misapplications of the rules” regarding technical fouls in overtime.Are you serious, CubanIf Cuban really wants that much say over the game, someone needs to tell him that he should be the one coaching the damn team.The Houston Rockets outplayed your Mavericks in overtime, Cuban Deal with it.

Newest Addition to Free Light Family Delivers High-Performance OpticalTransmissions Using RZ Modulation FormatPETACH TIKVA, Israel(Business Wire)Civcom, a leading technology developer and manufacturer of Opto-electroniccomponents, modules and subsystems, today announced the availability of a new RZTunable 10G transponder. "Our newly launched RZ Tunable 12.5G Transponder is built specifically toaddress the challenging demands of ultra long haul terrestrial and submarineapplications," stated Yair Itzhar, VP of Sales and Marketing at Civcom.
"Usingthis transponder, carriers can achieve stable transmission performance with lowoptical signal-to-noise ratio over virtually unlimited distances." Although the RZ modulation format is less commonly deployed than its NRZcounterpart, RZ offers a number of significant advantages in the areas of signalquality and non-linear effect handling. In long haul and ultralong haul communications, for example, RZ is much more effective due to its hightolerance of non-linear distortions of the self phase modulation (SPM) type. Designed for long reach DWDM applications, Civcoms new RZ transponder containsboth a 10Gbps widely tunable transmitter and a wide band receiver. The module,which was designed to work with 25 FEC, is compatible with the 300PIN MSA andI2C standard.
