O que está havendo com o Fluminense? O time que dava gosto ver se desmilinguiu, perdendo três jogos (um deles, de goleada, para os reservas do América de Natal, pela Copa do Brasil) e empatando outro, em casa, contra o lanterna do campeonato.
Cristóvão, que tinha um esquema azeitado, sem Fred, parece não encontrar a formação ideal, com ele. E Rafael Sóbis, um dos melhores jogadores, no pós-Copa, acabou no banco, contra a Chapecoense, dando vez a Walter, que segue forma de forma e vivendo de lampejos, como o belo chute que deu do próprio campo, quase surpreendendo o goleiro.
Os últimos resultados são indignos de um elenco que tem jogadores como Conca, Jean, Sóbis, Wagner (no momento, fora de combate), Cavalieri e, ainda que em má forma, o próprio Fred.

Será que os dirigentes, enfim, entenderam por que nunca deveriam ter tirado os jogos com mando de campo do Maracanã? E por que os preços não devem ser estratosféricos? Será preciso desenhar?
Renato Maurício Prado – O GLOBO – 22.08.2014
Por que Vanderlei escalou quatro volantes, jogando em casa e precisando vencer? Escapou da derrota graças a outra atuação empolgante da torcida, com mais de 40 mil rubro-negros empurrando o time no Maracanã, e às entradas (tardias) de Eduardo da Silva e Lucas Mugni, que reforçaram o meio-campo e o ataque do Flamengo, até então, nulos. Por que não saíram jogando?
Defende-se o treinador, alegando que Eduardo da Silva ainda não está 100% em forma e por isso não aguentaria os 90 minutos. É estranho por se tratar de um jogador que acaba de disputar a Copa do Mundo pela Croácia. Mas, que seja, por que não começar com ele e substituí-lo, quando se cansar? Até porque, mesmo após uma maratona, Eduardo é melhor que Arthur (quem foi o pai dessa criança?).
No caso de Mugni, a desculpa da má forma física não cola. Ele tem se mostrado, de fato, um jogador irregular (já começou como titular algumas vezes e não empolgou). Mas o que dizer de Márcio Araújo? Este é regularíssimo. Medíocre, o tempo todo…
Opções confusas de escalação à parte, é justo reconhecer e louvar o excepcional desempenho de Luxemburgo no Flamengo, ao menos até agora: cinco jogos e quatro vitórias (as últimas três consecutivas). Faz um tempão que nem o rubro-negro nem o técnico conseguem sequência tão boa.
É fundamental, entretanto, que a torcida continue a desempenhar o seu papel decisivo no Maracanã, nesse momento. Como o próprio Vanderlei reconheceu, após a suada vitória sobre o Atlético-MG, ela é o craque desse time. O único, aliás.

Uma das ações de marketing mais criativas da história
(IMAGEM: Brunoro)
A Nova Arena do Palmeiras está quase pronta. Para divulgar um dos orgulhos dos responsáveis pela nova casa palmeirense, o poderoso wi-fi – que diferente de muitos estádios da Copa, funciona -, o Verdão preparou uma ação de marketing inovadora. O meia Valdivia utilizou o Twitter para supostamente xingar o apresentador do Globo Esporte, Tiago Leifert.
Contudo, o que parecia ser uma briga, era uma ação que mostrava que o wi-fi da Arena funciona em qualquer área do estádio, até mesmo no departamento médico do clube, local onde Valdivia mora desde 2010.
“O Mago é da paz e nunca faria tal xingamento. Foi tudo uma ação de marketing de grande sucesso e grande repercussão, para divulgar a internet, o wi-fi do Allianz Parque, que funciona até mesmo do departamento médico do clube”, disse o gerente de marketing do Palmeiras, Felipe Menezezzzz.
Apesar do sucesso da ação, mais um problema para o Verdão. Valdivia sentiu os dedos ao digitar as ameaças a Tiago Leifert e só volta em 2022.

Flaws with the forensic evidence that damned David Eastman at trial could have been revealed 17 years ago, according to his one-time lawyer and former ACT Attorney-General.
Eastman mounted a series of appeals following his 1995 conviction for the assassination of the ACT’s police chief Colin Stanley Winchester.
The first took place in the Federal Court in 1997, which then acted as the ACT’s court of criminal appeal.
Lawyer Bernard Collaery represented Eastman in that case, and now believes an opportunity to expose flaws with the forensic evidence and achieve justice was lost all those years ago.
Mr Collaery and his team were fighting to introduce new evidence during the appeal that would undermine the credibility of the work of the key forensic expert used against Eastman, Robert Collins Barnes.
Mr Barnes’ evidence was critical in linking Eastman to the murder scene, and was instrumental in damning him before the jury at trial.
The Eastman inquiry, which delivered its findings this year, has now uncovered deep flaws with Mr Barnes’ work.
Mr Barnes’ reliability and accuracy were devastated under the scrutiny of a range of other experts, including Dr James Wallace and Dr Hilton Kobus.
Yet, way back in 1997, Mr Collaery was fighting to have evidence from those same two forensic experts put before the Federal Court during Eastman’s appeal.
The two experts were in the middle of conducting tests in Adelaide they believed would seriously challenge Mr Barnes’ evidence.
Prosecutors opposed that new evidence being put before the court and, in what is now clearly a significant decision, the Federal Court agreed, refusing to accept Dr Wallace’s affidavit in 1997.
Mr Collaery told Fairfax Media the justice system must learn from that decision, particularly in cases like Eastman’s, where an accused is representing himself in a disrupted, chaotic criminal trial.
“The lesson for our Court of Appeal is not to adopt the stilted ‘no new evidence’ approach when there are clear and compelling grounds to make an exception to the rules,” he said.
“Although that power to make an exception has always existed, the lesson is for judges to show courage and foresight, which was missing from the Federal Court panel in this appeal.”
Mr Collaery said he had always regarded Eastman’s trial as a debacle.
“It was not a question of whether he was guilty or innocent but whether he had received a fair trial,” he said.
“He clearly had not much of it attributable to his own disability.”

Welcome back to the land of the optional Indicator light.
Having just returned from a brief break interstate, I had forgotten I was back in the ACT until driving to work on Wednesday morning.
My wake-up call took the form of a wonderfully idiosyncratic example of the relaxed “devil-may-care” approach some of the denizens of the city state take to basic traffic laws and regulations.
While weaving my way through the picturesque streets of sunny Gungahlin, I was prompted to halt suddenly as a tradie’s ute, pulling a very, very, long cage trailer, came to an abrupt and near total stop in front of me before swinging off to the left and into a Coles Express servo.
My first thought was that, as is often the case, the trailer’s indicators were faulty and the message wasn’t getting through to the lights at the rear of the articulated vehicle.
Then the penny dropped: “Ah, Canberra,” I thought to myself. “Welcome back to the land of optional trafficator use.”
While I am not entirely sure a scientific study would bear me out, I am pretty certain that our excellent roads with multiple lanes and usually plenty of room to meander right or left as the spirit moves have created an environment in which, for many road users – and I’m looking at the taxi-driving, white-ute and van-man fraternities here – those amber-coloured things mounted on the corners of their vehicles are just painted on for effect.
Mind you, that doesn’t explain away my two other pet hates on Canberra roads.
The first is the deeply ingrained culture of using turn-off lanes in roundabouts as de facto overtaking lanes. The second is the Le Mans-like habit of cutting in front of any motorist stupid enough to leave the stipulated space between themselves and the car in front. That is about eight car lengths at 60km/h. The basis for this is the need to have a two- to three-second breathing space for reaction time in case the car in front stops unexpectedly.
On the plus side, the dedication of many of our local drivers to minimal communication behind the wheel (with the exception of using their phones while driving) gives me ample scope to develop my mind-reading abilities.
I’m sure I’m far from being the only Canberra road user with some pet peeves. Share yours with Gang Gang by emailing me on david.ellery@canberratimes.com.au.

Having deployed smartphone apps, “contactless payments” and wearable technologies, Australia’s banks are now taking on technology’s next frontier – biometrics – using human characteristics to verify the identities of customers.
St George Bank yesterday announced the addition of fingerprint login to its mobile banking service while ANZ said it would be rolling out technology to allow customers to be identified by their voice print.
It’s the first wave of biometric banking applications intended to remove friction from the payments process while boosting security.

St George’s TouchID will be made available for the iPhone 5S as soon as iOS8 is released, currently expected in September. The service will be available on the Galaxy 5 later in the year. St George’s CIO Dhiren Kulkarni made clear that the bank won’t store its customers’ fingerprint data, but will use Apple’s application interface to link its mobile banking app with the fingerprint identification service that’s available on the device.
St George CEO George Frazis said that technology-based innovation was critical to the bank because; “It’s difficult to respond when a disrupter has entered the market. You have to be at the forefront.”
It was that reasoning he said which had led St George to be among the world’s first banks to launch internet banking, introduce mobile banking apps, and support wearables – St George has a Google Glass banking app ready to roll as soon as the device is released locally.
While the ANZ has been experimenting with a series of different biometrics, the first likely deployment will be of voice authentication, according to ANZ Australia CEO Phil Chronican.
Speaking yesterday at a Trans-Tasman Business Circle event, Chronican said he believed there was still resistance to some biometrics such as retina scans and fingerprints, but that customers had proved willing to use their voice to verify their identities to the bank.
The NAB has also run trials for customers who opted to have their voice prints stored and used to identify them.
Neither bank has revealed exactly how or when they will deploy voice biometrics.
Speaking earlier this month Jayne Opperman, ANZ general manager technology, retail, commercial and wealth said the banks were also interested in additional biometric applications, for example analysing the tone of voice of a customer to determine how a customer was feeling, and automatically route and assign a priority to that call.
Alan Shields, managing director of RFi Advisory, said that despite the banks’ biometric activity, some overseas biometrics deployments – such as using finger vein verification which has been rolled out on ATMs in Poland, or palm-vein initiated payments that were being used in Sweden – could eventually prove to be overkill.
“My gut feel is that in some of those instances they are over-complicating things. A PIN is enough,” he said adding that to move to vein-scanning systems at point of sale or on ATMs would require massive infrastructure upgrades, which could not be easily justified.
However he acknowledged that when consumer attitude to biometrics was tested in focus groups it was largely positive.
“On the voice piece most people have their phone or a microphone and so when doing your internet banking you could substitute an SMS message for voice,” but he said that the “efficiency benefit would need to be proven”.
A survey released in May by Deloitte’s Centre for Financial Services found that 63 per cent of respondents felt biometrics would be valuable in general. But far fewer trusted it as a payments enabler.
Only 26 per cent would want to use a biometric to authorise a payment of $1,000, and just 11 per cent for a payment of $10,000.
Vic Mankotia, vice president of security for CA Technologies in Asia Pacific, said that a range of biometric technologies was now being rolled out across the region, including hand vein recognition-enabled ATMs in Japan, and credit cards able to store fingerprint data by China Union Pay.
Mankotia noted that some biometrics were less prone to compromise than others – vein recognition for example trumps fingerprint recognition – but he said that banks deploying biometrics had to conduct proper risk analyses to determine first whether biometric verification was required, and second whether the high cost associated with rolling out expensive biometric infrastructure, particularly at the point of sale or ATMs, could be justified.
