As the summer transfer window nears its final stages, something strange is happening. Eurosport. Eurosport is happening. And it is strange. Very strange.
Methinks there's a little bit of content needed for this article. Or did they just decided to forgo the padding and print a full quality article?

Martina Navratilova - How Soon We Forget
They say in sport that nobody remembers who came second. It is only the winner's name which is remembered. Well, Martina Navratilova was a champion but it appears that she's already be forgotten. Or the memory of her has been slightly blurred with the passing of time.

News Report : Consumers Renting Rather Than Buying
Interesting article from the Herald Sun - http://www.heraldsun.com.au/money/money-matters/consumer-renting-rather-than-buying/story-fn312ws8-1226062406288
The first note is that frugality is fueling rentals of appliances. I have an issue with this. Anyone that knows anything about being frugal would realise that renting, in the long run (total cost of ownership) is more expensive than buying. I think that it has more to do with credit becoming more difficult to obtain and consumers not having the disposable income that they'd like to.
As the cost of living has increased there is evidence that companies hiring/renting equipment instead of selling it are increasing their profitability. Certainly the department stores are finding trading more difficult as consumers are more and more keeping their wallets in their pockets. People are far more discerning with regards to purchasing these days.
How can a newspaper article expect to be taken seriously when it bases it's argument on a misperception? Journalists need to get the facts straight.

Get It Right - Bit Of Professionalism In Journalism Required
Editors must be a busy lot. I noticed this yesterday and it still hasn't been sorted. Almost everybody would be aware that Steve Hooker is the reigning Olympic champion at pole vault and, not as the Sydney Morning Herald would have you think, a high jump competitor at the recent World Championships. Surely somebody else should have pointed it out to them by now.
