For those of you not following the Japanese Sumo circuit, I thought I'd bring you some hot-off-the-presses news from the Japanese Sumo Association. From CNN.com Two popular Russian sumo wrestlers were slapped with lifetime bans from Japan's ancient national sport for allegedly using marijuana and the head of the Japan Sumo Association resigned Monday to take responsibility for the scandal, officials said. The wrestlers, brothers Roho and Hakurozan, tested positive for the drug when the sport conducted its first drug tests following the arrest last month of another Russian wrestler, Wakanoho, for marijuana possession.

So you thought I was finished with the Japanese Marketing, F5 Style huh? Well then you'd be wrong! Today I've got another marketing sheet focused on F5's SSL-VPN FirePass.

Today marked day number 3 for Jeff and I in Tokyo. We started out the day on our search for coffee. We found us a Starbucks, but I was disappointed to find out that they have no decaf espresso!
