The University of Miami (informally referred to as UM, U Miami, Miami, or The U)[5][6] is a private, non-sectarian university located in Coral Gables, Florida, United States. As of 2012[update], the university currently enrolls 15,613 students[7] in 12 separate colleges, including a medical school located in Miami's Civic Center neighborhood, a law school on the main campus, and a school focused on the study of oceanography and atmospheric sciences on Virginia Key. These colleges offer approximately 115 undergraduate, 114 master's, 51 doctoral, and two professional areas of study. Over the years, the University's students have represented all 50 states and close to 150 foreign countries.[8] With more than 13,000 full and part-time faculty and staff,[9] UM is the sixth largest employer in Miami-Dade County.[10]
Research is a component of each academic division, with UM attracting $346.6 million per year in sponsored research grants.[11] UM offers a large library system with over 3.1 million volumes and exceptional holdings in Cuban heritage and music.[12] UM also offers a wide range of student activities, including fraternities and sororities, a student newspaper and radio station. UM's intercollegiate athletic teams, collectively known as the Miami Hurricanes, compete in Division I of the National Collegiate Athletic Association,[13] and its football team has won five national championships since 1983.[14]
A group of citizens chartered the University of Miami in 1925 with the intent to offer "unique opportunities to develop inter-American studies, to further creative work in the arts and letters, and to conduct teaching and research programs in tropical studies."[15] They believed that a local university would benefit their community. They were overly optimistic about future financial support for UM because the South Florida land boom was at its peak.[15] During the Jim Crow era, there were three large state-funded universities in Florida for white males, white females, and black coeds (UF, FSU, and FAMU, respectively); in this accord, UM was founded as a white, coeducational institution.
The University began in earnest in 1925 when George E. Merrick, the founder of Coral Gables, gave 160 acres (0.6 km2) and nearly $5 million,[16] ($67.2 million, adjusted for current inflation) to the effort.[17] These contributions were in the form of land contracts and mortgages on real estate that had been sold in the city.[18] The University was chartered on April 18, 1925[19] by the Circuit Court for Dade County.[20] By the fall of 1926, when the first class of 372 students enrolled at UM,[21] the land boom had collapsed, and hopes for a speedy recovery were dashed by a major hurricane.[22] In the next 15 years the University barely remained solvent. The construction of the first building on campus, now known as the Merrick Building, was left half built for over two decades due to economic difficulties.[22] In the meantime, classes were held at the nearby Anastasia Hotel, with partitions separating classrooms, giving the University the early nickname of "Cardboard College."[22][23][24]
In 1929, Walsh and the other members of the Board of Regents resigned in the wake of the collapse of the Florida economy. UM's plight was so severe that students went door to door in Coral Gables collecting funds to keep it open.[23] A reconstituted ten-member Board was chaired by UM's first president Bowman Foster Ashe (1926–1952). The new board included Merrick, Theodore Dickinson, E.B. Douglas, David Fairchild, James H. Gilman, Richardson Saunders, Frank B. Shutts, Joseph H. Adams, and J. C. Penney. In 1930, several faculty members and more than 60 students came to UM when the University of Havana closed due to political unrest.[22] UM filed for bankruptcy in 1932.[22][25] In July 1934, the University of Miami was reincorporated and a Board of Trustees replaced the Board of Regents. By 1940, community leaders were replacing faculty and administration as trustees.[20] The University survived this early turmoil. During Ashe's presidency, the University added the School of Law (1928),[26] the School of Business Administration (1929), the School of Education (1929), the Graduate School (1941), the Marine Laboratory (1943, renamed in 1969 as the Rosenstiel School), the School of Engineering (1947), and the School of Medicine (1952).[22]
During World War II, UM was one of 131 colleges and universities nationally that took part in the V-12 Navy College Training Program, which offered students a path to a Navy commission.[27]
One of Ashe's longtime assistants, Jay F. W. Pearson, assumed the presidency in 1952.[28] A charter faculty member and a marine biologist by trade,[28] Pearson retained the position until 1962.[15] During his presidency, UM awarded its first doctorate degrees and saw an increase in enrollment of more than 4,000.[15][29]
The social changes of the 1960s and 1970s were reflected at UM. In 1961, UM dropped its policy of racial segregation and began to admit black students.[29][30] African Americans were also allowed full participation in student activities and sports teams.[31] After President Stanford pressed for minority athletes, in December 1966, UM signed Ray Bellamy, an African American football player. With Bellamy, UM became the first major college in the Deep South with a Black football player on scholarship.[32] UM established an Office of Minority Affairs to promote diversity in both undergraduate and professional school admissions.[33] With the start of the 1968 football season, President Henry Stanford barred the playing of "Dixie" by the University's band.[22]
Historically, UM regulated female student conduct more than men's conduct with a staff under the Dean of Women watching over the women. UM combined the separate Dean of Men and Dean of Women positions in 1971.[34] In 1971, UM formed a Women's Commission which issued a 1974 report on the status of women on campus.[35] The result was UM's first female commencement speaker,[36] day care, and a Women's Study minor. Following the enactment of Title IX in 1972, and decades of litigation, all organizations, including honorary societies were open to women. The Women's Commission also sought more equitable funding for women's sports.[37] The University of Miami was the first major American college to award an athletic scholarship to a female athlete; Terry Williams of Homestead, Florida received a golf scholarship in 1973.[38]
From 1961 to 1968, UM leased buildings on its South Campus to serve as the covert headquarters of the Central Intelligence Agency's JMWAVE operation against Fidel Castro's government in Cuba.[39] In 1968, after Ramparts magazine exposed CIA operations on other campuses, JMWAVE was moved off the UM campus out of concern for embarrassing the university.[40]
Henry King Stanford became UM's third president in 1962.[41] The Stanford presidency saw increased emphasis on research, reorganization of administrative structure and construction of new facilities. Among the new research centers established were the Center for Advanced International Studies (1964), the Institute of Molecular and Cellular Evolution (1964), the Center for Theoretical Studies (1965), and the Institute for the Study of Aging (1975). Under Stanford, in 1965, UM began to recruit international students.[22]
In 1981, Edward T. Foote II became the school's fourth president.[42] Under Foote's leadership, on campus student housing was converted into a system of residential colleges.[43] In addition, Foote initiated a five-year $400 million fundraising campaign that began in 1984 and raised $517.5 million.[44][45] He saw the endowment expand from $47.4 million in 1981 to $465.2 million in 2000.[44]
Foote was succeeded by Donna Shalala, who assumed the UM presidency in 2001.[46] Under Shalala, Miami has built new libraries, dormitories, symphony rehearsal halls, and classroom buildings. The university's academic quality and student quality also have improved as a result.[47] During Shalala's leadership of the University of Miami, Miami hosted one of three nationally televised U.S. presidential debates of the 2004 U.S. Presidential election.[48]
Starting in 2002,[49] UM conducted a fundraising campaign titled "Momentum: The Campaign for the University of Miami" that ultimately raised $1.37 billion,[50] the most money raised by any college in Florida as of February 8, 2008[update].[51] Of that amount, $854 million went to the medical campus.[50] On November 30, 2007, UM acquired the Cedars Medical Center and renamed it the "University of Miami Hospital", giving the Miller School of Medicine an in-house teaching hospital rather than being merely affiliated with area hospitals.[52]
On February 28, 2006, custodial workers at the University of Miami, who are contracted to the university by a Boston, Massachusetts-based company, UNICCO, began a strike prompted by allegations of unfair labor practices, substandard pay, lack of health benefits, and workplace safety. After students began a hunger strike and on-campus vigil, the strike was settled on May 1, 2006. The settlement resulted in a card count which led to the recognition of the first union-represented bargaining unit at UM.[53][54][55] UM raised wages from $6.40 to $8.35 per hour and provided health insurance.[56]
In 2008–09, UM responded to the economic slowdown by tightening expenditures.[57] While its endowment lost over 26.8% of its value,[58] impacting endowment income, the school receives more than 98% of its operating budget from other sources.[57]
In 2011, UM was ranked the nation's most fiscally-responsible nonprofit organization by Worth magazine, in a report issued in collaboration with nonprofit watchdog Charity Navigator.[59]
Coral Gables campus[edit]
UM's main campus spans 260 acres (1.1 km2)[60] in Coral Gables, located immediately south of the city of Miami. Most of the University of Miami's academic programs are located on the main campus in Coral Gables, which houses seven schools and two colleges including the University of Miami School of Law. The campus has over 5,900,000 sq ft (550,000 m2) of building space valued at over $657 million.[61] Several other programs, including bilingual Continuing and International Education classes, are offered at the Koubek Center in Miami's Little Havana,[62] the James L. Knight Center in downtown Miami,[63] and the South and Richmond campuses in southwest Miami-Dade county.
The university also has a campus theater, the Jerry Herman Ring Theatre, which is used for student plays and musicals.[64] The John C. Gifford Arboretum, a campus arboretum and botanical garden, is located on the northwest corner of the main campus in Coral Gables.[65] The Jorge M. Perez Architecture Center is the lecture hall and gallery of the School of Architecture that displays exhibitions focusing on architecture and design.[66][67]
The Coral Gables campus is served by the Miami Metrorail at the University Station.[68] The Metro connects UM to Downtown Miami, Brickell, Coconut Grove, and other Miami neighborhoods. The UM campus is about a 15-minute train ride from Downtown and Brickell.[69]
Student housing[edit]
UM residence halls[70] | Year built | Room capacity |
Apartment Area[71] | 1948 | est. 500 |
Eaton Residential College | 1954 | 400 |
Mahoney Residential College | 1958 | 750 |
Pearson Residential College | 1962 | 750 |
Hecht Residential College | 1968 | 900 |
Stanford Residential College | 1968 | 900 |
University Village | 2006 | 800 |
Total | 4,500 (29% of UM students) |
The Coral Gables campus houses 4,500 enrolled students. This group is disproportionately freshmen (84% of new freshmen live on campus compared with 43% of all degree undergraduates).[12] UM's on campus housing consists of five residential colleges and one apartment-style housing area available only to undergraduate degree seeking students. The residential colleges are divided into two dormitory-style residence halls and three suite-style residence halls. The McDonald and Pentland Towers of Hecht Residential College[72] and the Walsh and Rosborough Towers of Stanford Residential College[73] are commonly referred to as the "Freshman Towers", as the single-sex by floor (with shared bathroom facilities) co-ed dormitories generally house new students. Eaton Residential College, which originally housed only women,[74] and the Mahoney/Pearson Residential Colleges[75][76] have suite-style housing with every two double-occupancy rooms connected by a shared bathroom.
In addition to these five residential colleges, Miami also has an area called the University Village[77] which consists of seven buildings with apartment-style annual contract housing, fully furnished with kitchen facilities. The University Village is only open to juniors and seniors, but was previously open to graduate students and students of the School of Law up until July 31, 2009; after this date, there has been no housing available for any graduate students on the Coral Gables campus.[78][79] The University of Miami also has a series of fraternity houses, opposite the intramural fields on San Amaro Drive, dubbed "Fraternity Row"; the sororities do not possess any such facilities.
Miami previously had a series of seven buildings set aside for student residences called the Apartment Area, consisting of the oldest dormitories on campus which were originally built to house married veterans and their families.[80] These buildings also featured fully furnished apartments with kitchen facilities, but were not leased to students as in the University Village. These residences were closed at the end of the Spring 2010 semester,[71] although several others of these original dormitories continue to be used as office space for departments such as the Office of Student Employment, the Air Force ROTC Detachment 155, and the Center for Alcohol and Other Drug Education PIER 21.
The University of Miami does not offer housing for students with children or for married students.[81] UM abolished its separate dorms for athletes in 1990.[43]
Medical campus[edit]
The Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine campus, located in Miami city proper in Civic Center, trains 1,000 students in various health-related programs.[82] It consists of 68 acres (280,000 m2) within the 153 acres (620,000 m2) University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Medical Center complex. The medical center includes three UM-owned hospitals: University of Miami Hospital, Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, and Anne Bates Leach Eye Hospital. Jackson Memorial Hospital, Holtz Children's Hospital, and the Miami Veterans Affairs Medical Center are also a part of the medical center and are affiliated with UM, but are not owned by UM.[83] The heart of this campus is "The Alamo" – the original City of Miami Hospital, which opened in 1918, that is on the National Register of Historic Places.[82][84] In 2006, UM opened the 300,000 sq ft (28,000 m2), 15-story Clinical Research Building and Wellness Center.[82] In 2009, a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified, nine-story Biomedical Research Building, a 182,000 sq ft (16,900 m2) laboratory and office facility, opened to house the Interdisciplinary Stem Cell Institute and the Miami Institute for Human Genomics.[85] UM has started to build a 2,000,000 sq ft (190,000 m2) UM Life Science Park adjacent to the UM medical campus.[86] These additional Gold LEED certified buildings are being built by Wexford Science & Technology, a private developer, on land leased from UM.[87] The Medical campus is connected to UM's main campus by the Miami Metrorail with direct stations at University Station for the main campus, and Civic Center Station for the medical campus.
On December 1, 2007, the University purchased the Cedars Medical Center, renaming it as the University of Miami Hospital. Situated in the Miami Health District, the hospital is close to the Jackson Memorial Hospital, which has been used by the UM students and faculty to provide patient care for many years.[88]
Starting in 2004, the Miller School began offering instruction on the campus of Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, Florida. MD candidates were admitted to either the Miami or Boca Raton programs and spent the first two years studying on the selected campus and the last two on the main campus in Miami.[89] In April 2005, the Boca Raton program was expanded to include a third clinical year in Palm Beach County. In 2010, when Florida Atlantic University made plans to establish their own medical school, no future classes of the regional campus were accepted. The last class to complete the first three years of training in Boca Raton is the Class of 2013.[90]
There is no on campus housing for students of the Miller School of Medicine in Miami or Boca Raton.[91] The Miami and Boca Raton campuses charge identical tuition, with a lower tuition for in-state students.[92]
Virginia Key campus[edit]
In 1945, construction began on the Rickenbacker Causeway to make Virginia Key accessible by car. The county offered to give UM a part of the island adjacent to the Miami Seaquarium in exchange for UM operating the aquarium.[93] However, the aquarium construction was delayed when a bond referendum failed, so UM leased the land in 1951. In 1953, UM built classroom and lab buildings on a 16 acre (65,000 m²) campus to house what would become the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science. Additional buildings were added in 1957, 1959 and 1965.[93] The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory is located across the Rickenbacker Causeway from the campus. From 1947 to 1959, the State of Florida funded the UM Marine Lab on Virginia Key until the State built a separate marine lab in St. Petersburg.[93] In 2009, UM received a $15 million federal grant to help construct a new $43.8 million, 56,500 square feet (5,250 m2) Marine Technology and Life Sciences Seawater Research Building.[94]
There is no housing on the Virginia Key campus. As part of its campus-wide free shuttle service, UM operates a route from the Coral Gables campus to the Virginia Key campus, which includes stops at the Vizcaya Metrorail station on weekdays.[79][95]
South Campus[edit]
In 1946, UM acquired the former Richmond Naval Air Station, in southwestern Miami, located 12 mi (19 km) south of the main campus in order to accommodate the post-war increase in students. Its six buildings provide 63,800 sq ft (5,930 m2)[83] to currently house: the Global Public Health Research Group, Miami Institute for Human Genomics, Forensic Toxicology Laboratory (for analysis of DUI suspect blood samples), and Microbiology and Immunology.[96] The campus was acquired immediately following World War II and provided classrooms, housing, and other amenities for about 1,100 students (mostly freshmen) for two academic years. In 1948 it was repurposed as a research facility.[97] In the 1960s, some of the buildings were leased to the Central Intelligence Agency. The South Campus Grove was a 350 acres (1,400,000 m2) plot for agricultural research and horticultural studies that was established in 1948.[21][97] For 20 years, UM used radioactive isotopes in biological research on the South Campus, and buried materials, included irradiated animals on the site. In August 2006, UM agreed to reimburse the Army Corps of Engineers $393,473 for clean-up costs under the Superfund law.[98]
The Richmond campus is a 76 acres (310,000 m2) site near South Campus that was formerly the United States Naval Observatory Secondary National Time Standard Facility, which already had buildings and a 20M antenna used for Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI).[99] The Rosenstiel School's Center for Southeastern Tropical Advanced Remote Sensing (CSTARS) and Richmond Satellite Operations Center (RSOC) have research facilities located on a portion of the new campus.
Since 2005, UM has a "Green U" initiative which includes LEED certification for buildings and the use of biofuels by the campus bus fleet.[100] UM established the Abess Center for Ecosystem Science and Policy.[101] As a part of the Abess Center, UM launched the R.J. Dunlap Marine Conservation Program to educate students on the importance of protecting the marine environment.[102] In 2008, UM replaced the chiller plant on its Virginia Key campus to improve its carbon footprint.[103] UM also planted mangroves, sea grape trees, and other dune plants on Virginia Key to protect its sand dunes and to protect the campus from storm damage.[104] UM received a "C+" grade on the 2009 College Sustainability Report Card[105] and a "B-" for 2010[106] for its environmental and sustainability initiatives.

There are currently 2,580 full-time faculty members, 91% of whom hold doctorates or terminal degrees in their field.[113] UM has a student-faculty ratio of 11:1.[113] The University of Miami is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and 23 additional professional and educational accrediting agencies. It is a member of the American Association of University Women, the American Council on Education, the American Council of Learned Societies, the Association of American Colleges and Universities,[114] the Florida Association of Colleges and Universities, the Independent Colleges & Universities of Florida,[115] and the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities.[116]
UM is led by a Board of Trustees, which holds two meetings each year.[20] The Board has 48 elected members, 3 alumni representatives, 23 senior members, 4 national members, 6 ex officio members, 14 emeriti members, and 1 student representative. Ex officio members, who serve by virtue of their positions in the University, include the President of the University, the President and Immediate Past President of the Citizens Board, and the President, President-Elect, and Immediate Past President of the Alumni Association.[20] Since 1982, the Board has eleven visiting committees, which include both Trustees and outside experts, to help oversee the individual academic units.[20]
UM's President, currently Donna Shalala, is the university's chief executive officer with a 2012 salary of $1.16 million,[117] and each academic unit is headed by a Dean.

The medical campus includes more than 500,000 sq ft (46,000 m2) of research space with plans underway to build a new UM Life Science Park, which will add an additional 2,000,000 sq ft (190,000 m2) of space adjacent to the medical campus.[85] UM's Interdisciplinary Stem Cell Institute seeks to understand the biology of stem cells and translate basic research into new regenerative therapies. In 2007, Joshua Hare, MD and colleagues reported that a new stem cell therapy was safe for the treatment of myocardial infarction and reduced complications from the condition.[162]
As of 2008, the Rosenstiel School receives $50 million in annual external research funding.[163] Their laboratories include a salt-water wave tank, a five-tank Conditioning and Spawning System, multi-tank Aplysia Culture Laboratory, Controlled Corals Climate Tanks, and DNA analysis equipment.[164] The campus also houses an invertebrate museum with 400,000 specimens, and operates the Bimini Biological Field Station, an array of oceanographic high-frequency radar along the US east coast, and the Bermuda aerosol observatory.[165] UM also owns the Little Salt Spring, a site on the National Register of Historic Places,[166] in North Port, Florida, where RSMAS performs archaeological and paleontological research.[167]
UM is building a brain imaging annex to the James M. Cox Jr. Science Center within the College of Arts and Sciences. The building will include a human functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) laboratory, where scientists, clinicians and engineers can study fundamental aspects of brain function. Construction of the lab is funded in part by a $14.8 million in stimulus money grant from the National Institute of Health.[168]
In 2004 the university received $124 million in science and engineering funding from the U.S. federal government, the largest Hispanic-serving recipient and 54th overall. $92 million of the funding was through the Department of Health and Human Services, and was used largely for the medical campus.[169]
Student life[edit]
The University is affiliated with 31 fraternities and sororities.[170] Five of them (Alpha Epsilon Pi, Lambda Chi Alpha, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Sigma Chi, and Zeta Beta Tau) have houses on campus.[171] Among the service groups organized by students are Amnesty International[172] and Habitat for Humanity.[173] Students organize the Ibis yearbook, UMTV (a cable TV channel carried on Comcast Channel 96, which includes nine programs, many of which have won national awards), UniMiami (a Spanish-speaking Cable TV broadcast),[174] the student-run Distraction Magazine and the campus radio station WVUM.[175][176]
Since 1929, students have published The Miami Hurricane newspaper twice-weekly.[177] The paper has been honored in the Associated Collegiate Press Hall of Fame.[178]
UM has appointed individuals in the various departments to handle students' problems and complaints called "Troubleshooters." UM also has an Ombudsman to mediate complaints that cannot be resolved by the troubleshooters.[179] Since 1986, UM has an Honor Code governing student conduct.[180]
The University has a number of student honor societies, including the Iron Arrow Honor Society (which also inducts faculty, staff and alumni),[181] and a chapter of Mortar Board.[182] In 1959, the Order of Omega was founded at UM, and it remained a one-campus honorary until 1964.[183] It is now a national honorary for fraternity and sorority members with a chapter continuing at UM.[184]
The University of Miami's athletic teams are the Hurricanes, commonly referred to as the "Canes". They compete as a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I level (Football Bowl Subdivision sub-level for football), primarily competing in the Atlantic Coast Conference for all sports since the 2004-05 season.[185] The Hurricanes previously competed in the Big East Conference from 1991-92 to 2003-04. Men's teams compete in baseball, basketball, cross-country, diving, football, tennis and, track and field; while women's teams compete in basketball, cross-country, diving, golf, rowing, soccer, swimming, tennis, track and field, and volleyball.[13]
The football program has been named national champion five times over the past three decades (1983, 1987, 1989, 1991, and 2001)[14] and has appeared in the AP Top 25 frequently during this time.
On December 12, 2009, the global sports network ESPN aired a documentary on the UM football program, The U, which drew 2.3 million viewers, the most ever for a documentary on the sports cable network.[186] As of the 2011 National Football League season, UM had the most players active in the NFL of any university in the nation, with 42.[187] The UM football team is coached currently by Al Golden.
For 70 years, from 1937 through 2007, the Hurricanes played most field home games at the Miami Orange Bowl. Beginning with the 2008 season, the University of Miami began playing its home football games at Sun Life Stadium (recently renamed from Dolphin Stadium[188]) in Miami Gardens. The university signed a 25-year contract to play there through 2033.[189] A smaller facility, Cobb Stadium, is located on the University of Miami campus and is used by the university's women's soccer and men's and women's track and field teams.[190] UM's men's and women's basketball teams play their home games at BankUnited Center on the Coral Gables campus.[191] The UM baseball team is coached by Jim Morris. The Miami baseball team has won four national championships (1982, 1985, 1999, 2001) and it plays their home games at the on-campus stadium Alex Rodriguez Park at Mark Light Field.[192]
The University of Miami's mascot is Sebastian the Ibis. Its marching band is the Band of the Hour. The Miami Maniac is the mascot for baseball games.

Mexican hat (Ratibida columnifera f. pulcherrima) has drooping, mahogany-brushed, yellow petals around a columnar center. The intensely colored florets and tall centers resemble a Mexican sombrero, the reason for its common name. The billows of fine, airy, green foliage and unique flowerheads are attractive in a meadow garden or mixed border. Good companions include yarrow, butterfly weed, and daylilies. Native to the prairies of the western states from Canada to Mexico, it blooms June to September in mixed-grass prairies and drier parts of tall-grass prairies.
Plant Facts Common name: Mexican hat, prairie coneflower, long-headed coneflower Botanical name: Ratibida columnifera f. pulcherrima Plant type: Herbaceous perennial Zones: 3 to 10 Height: 24 to 30 inches Family: Asteraceae Growing conditions

Looks awesome!!
I still can't find the photo that I've got some where of a McCarty with a very professionally done pickguard.
Undercut the pickup rings and two screw go through the rings and the guard. The loose end has a small piece of foam under it, which keeps the guard from touching the top of the guitar.
Yep, the only on in existence at this point. Soon, though, soon
That is really cool Shawn!!! Great work as always!!

About five minutes later, Uchimura's score was revised, with judges giving him seven-tenths more credit for his dismount. Instead of 13.466, he scored 14.166 — enough to move Japan from fourth to second with a total of 271.952. Britain was bumped down to bronze.
There was a familiar sister act at Wimbledon on Monday, with Serena and Venus Williams each advancing in the singles tournament, then combining for a doubles win.
Other major champions to advance in singles included Roger Federer, Lleyton Hewitt, top-seeded Victoria Azarenka, Kim Clijsters, Petra Kvitova, Ana Ivanovic and three-time Wimbledon runner-up Andy Roddick.
Venus Williams waited an extra day because of rain to begin her bid for a record fourth gold medal in Olympic tennis, then defeated recent French Open runner-up Sara Errani of Italy 6-3, 6-1. Serena completed a July sweep of Poland's Radwanska sisters by beating Urszula in the second round, 6-2, 6-3. She defeated Radwanska's sister, Agnieszka, in the Wimbledon final this month. Federer also reached the third round, beating Julien Benneteau of France 6-2, 6-2.
"What a good day for fans between me, Venus, Roger and all the other players," Serena Williams said. "It's really such a great experience."
Also Monday, Switzerland stripped a soccer player of his Olympic accreditation after he sent a threatening and racist message on Twitter about South Koreans. The comments by Michel Morganella came hours after the Swiss lost to South Korea, 2-1, on Sunday.
The 23-year-old player said in the tweet that South Koreans "can go burn" and referred to them as a "bunch of mongoloids."
Swiss Olympic team chief Gian Gilli said via a translator at a news conference that Morganella "discriminated against, insulted and violated the dignity of the South Korea football team as well as the South Korean people.
Morganella later released a contrite statement through the Swiss Olympic team: "I am sincerely sorry for the people of South Korea, for the players, but equally for the Swiss delegation and Swiss football in general. It's clear that I'm accepting the consequences."
Morganella is the second athlete kicked off an Olympic team in London for offensive Twitter comments. Last week, triple jumper Voula Papachristou was kicked off Greece's Olympic team for her comments on Twitter mocking African immigrants and expressing support for a far-right political party.


text: Yakov-Hai Pinkhasov(1890-1968)Yakov-Hai Pinkhasov was born in 1890 in Bukhara to a wealthy, respected and influential family of Zion Mullo Niyoza and Rivko Pinkhasov. By the line of his father Yakov-Hai Pinkhasov was the great-grandson of well-known rabbi Yosef Mamon Maaravi, who had arrived to Bukhara from Jerusalem in 1793. Being very clever, noble, brought up person, Pinkhasov had authority among the Jewish population of Bukhara. In 1917, at the age of 27, Pinkhasov was elected the head of Jews of Bukharian Emirate by Emir Seid Alimkhan and given a title of Kalontar. Professor D. Ochildiev writes about duties of a Kalontar: During the period of his short service (up to 1920), Pinkhasov won the respect and love of the Emir and persuaded him to cancel the "9 humiliating laws for Jews of the Emirate." In 1920, there was a revolution in Bukhara, the Emir fled to Afghanistan with his riches. That same year Pinkhasov was arrested because of his closeness to Emir of Bukhara. When the news of his arrest reached Jerusalem, Yakovs brother Moshka immediately went to Bukhara, where he bribed the prisons chief (he was later sent to Gulag) and took Yakov with him to Jerusalem. The difficult journey to Jerusalem from Bukhara was over land to the Black sea and then by ship through Istanbul. Pinkhasov did not live long in Israel. After some time he with his wife and sons went to Calcutta, India, where they opened a big cafeteria. After 10 years, he had sold the cafeteria and had left with family for London where he lived for the next several years. Pinkhasov finally returned to Israel to retire and died in Tel Aviv at the age of 78 in 1968. To this day old residents of Bukhara among Bukharian Jews remember Pinkhasov, the last leader of Jews of Bukharian Emirate. He was best known for his kind acts and his portrait hangs in a historical museum in the Ark fortress and in the Bukharian Jewish synagogue in Bukhara. Source: Bukharian Jews |

Nick Hundley really wants everybody to know that the way he started the season wasn't what he intended and he's just going to get 4 hits per night for a while until he makes up for it. That's just FYI.
All Cory Luebke ever asked for was a little bit of run support and the Padres granted him that wish tonight. Coming off of a getaway win, the Padres start the quick road trip with a nice little win against the Giants.
Was it a "clean" win? Not really. Again with the errors. Again with some baserunning that is forgiven because we won.
But the end, it was a good win. It was the kind of win that makes you wonder about more wins like it and it coming as the first game of the series, we get the idea in our heads that maybe we can actually take a series.
Tomorrow, we get Tim Lincecum, who's still a tough pitcher, but he's been relatively hittable so far this season. His stuff hasn't quite come together and he may be pressing a little bit. The Padres will need just a little bit of their famous 2012 patience to hopefully take advantage.
I'm banking on O-Dog leading the team to victory.
Who knows. Maybe May is coming early for the Padres this year.
Darklighter, TTG and Friar Fever started things off with us with a bit of a Firsties, and in the end Darklight and Friar Fever stuck it out through the end and TTG went off and celebrated the win somewheres else.
