text: Australian Open 2011 preview - Roger Federer Ranking Scenarios Visit Save For Later by ghfgh fghfghfgPosted Roger Federer. (credit: Wikipedia.org) Share: 0 15 0 Get Tennis Alerts Rafael Nadal's world number 1 ranking is safe through Melbourne Park and if he is to be caught it will have to be in the longer term.Roger Federer, the defending champion at this year's Australian Open, cannot directly catch Rafael Nadal for top spot on tour with the Melbourne Park results. Nadal, heading into the Aussie, leads Federer by over 3000 ranking points and that is a lead that will have to be chipped at in the longer term.Here are the ranking points that are associated with each round in a Grand Slam:Champion: 2000 (Federer's 2010 Australian Open result)Finalist: 1200 Semifinalist: 720 Quarterfinalist: 360 (Nadal's 2010 Australian Open result)4th round: 1803rd round: 902nd round: 451st round: 10Even if Federer won the 2011 Australian Open his current ranking points total of 9,245 would not go up. The 2000 ranking points he would earn for the result would simply replace the 2000 rankings that drop off as the points associated with last year's title expire as the new points come in. The net gain/loss, should Federer repeat, would be 0.If Nadal lost in the final he would earn 1200 ranking points and with only 360 dropping off from last season, he would have a net gain of 840 points.In short, if Federer beat Nadal in the final, the world number one would still increase his lead in the rankings as ranking changes in the ATP are affected by, not just this year's result, but the net gain/loss between last year's event and this year's.Nadal's ranking is safe at this point and unless someone can put a dent in his lead during the clay court season it should be safe until the summer.However if Federer were to lose in the quarterfinals or earlier, for at least a net loss of 1640 ranking points, then there are players that could ascend to the world number 2 position with the January 31st rankings. Federer, if he lost in the quarters, would then have 7605 ranking points and Novak Djokovic or Robin Soderling could catch that total.With an optimal result Djokovic, who has won the Australian Open before, could gain 1640 ranking points which would give him a total of 7880.World number 4 Robin Soderling, the recent ATP Brisbane titlist, needs only to play in the Australian Open this year to 'defend' his 10 ranking points from last season. Soderling crashed out in the first round of the 2010 Australian Open to Marcel Granollers as the Swede continued his poor form from down under. If he, Soderling, were to win the title, an unexpected event for certain, and Federer were to lose in the quarters, or before, then Soderling would surpass Federer in the rankings.Andy Murray, if he wins the Aussie this season, would only gain 800 ranking points, as he was a finalist from last season, and he could not catch Federer in the rankings nor could any other player besides Soderling or Djokovic, provided that Fed makes the quarters at least.Scenarios are always plentiful prior to the start of a Slam and the permutations cannot be explored comprehensively. However from Federer's point of view at month's end it looks like he will be ranked either 2nd or 3rd if he makes the final 8 in Melbourne.The 2011 Australian Open draw will be available on Friday January 14th with the tournament commencing on January 17th.

Pregnancy is the fertilization and development of one or more offspring, known as an embryo or fetus, in a woman's uterus. In a pregnancy, there can be multiple gestations, as in the case of twins or triplets. Childbirth usually occurs about 38 weeks after conception; in women who have a menstrual cycle length of four weeks, this is approximately 40 weeks from the start of the last normal menstrual period (LNMP). Human pregnancy is the most studied of all mammalian pregnancies.
The term embryo is used to describe the developing offspring during the first 8 weeks following conception, and subsequently the term fetus is used henceforth until birth. 40% of pregnancies in the United States and United Kingdom are unplanned, and between a quarter and half of those unplanned pregnancies were unwanted pregnancies.
In many societies' medical or legal definitions, human pregnancy is somewhat arbitrarily divided into three trimester periods, as a means to simplify reference to the different stages of prenatal development. The first trimester carries the highest risk of miscarriage (natural death of embryo or fetus). During the second trimester, the development of the fetus can be more easily monitored and diagnosed. The beginning of the third trimester often approximates the point of viability, or the ability of the fetus to survive, with or without medical help, outside of the uterus.

At what point in a pedicure do you use the hot towels and how?
I usually apply cuticle remover and callus eliminator before I wrap the foot up in the towel. I leave the toes exposed and work on the cuticles while the callus eliminator does its job. By the time I'm done, I'm ready to file the callus and continue with the rest of the pedicure. --Jackie Jackson is a pedicurist in Louisville, Ky.
I use the towels after I apply a mask (which is before I massage and polish). I make a towel bootie and let it steam on the client for about five minutes. I then use the towels to remove the mask. The combo of the warm towels with the cool mask is awesome. --Melissa Brown is a nail tech in West Lafayette, Ind.

LINDSAY — Four workers were injured in a fire Thursday afternoon while a crew was performing maintenance on a natural gas pipeline in Garvin County.
Four are injured in pipeline fire near Lindsay
Four contract workers were injured in fire Thursday at a natural gas pipeline in Garvin County, in southern Oklahoma.
The natural gas line fire was quickly extinguished, a spokeswoman for pipeline operator DCP Midstream said.
The workers were taken to the hospital in Lindsay, DCP spokeswoman Roz Elliott said. All four were treated and released.
Elliott said the maintenance crew was working near Lindsay at the time of the fire, which did not cause an explosion.
DCP reported the incident to the proper regulatory authorities, she said, and will investigate further on its own to determine what happened.

I've loved Harry Potter almost all my life, I went to the midnight release of the last book and the last movie and it was the best night of my life.

when it was over i wanted to cry, not because the movie was sad. but simply because it was over.

This movie was absolutely amazing. I am a huge, huge fan, and I was completely bowled over by how fantastic this was. Yes, it deviated from the plot slightly, but they did it gracefully and stuck to most of the details. Four stars!!

Also, I really wish that Jo would write a HP spin off, starring the next generation of Potters, Weasleys, and Malfoys! Albus Severus could be the main character!

That was the best movie of the series! Although, they did leave a lot out that was in the books. Like when Snape called Lily a mudblood. It was an overall EPIC conclusion to the best series ever! Harry Potter changed my life; thank you, Jo

SACRAMENTO COUNTY (CBS13) – A manhunt is underway for a dozen suspects who scattered after investigators uncovered their illegal pot growing operation in Sacramento County.
Authorities are calling the discovery one of the largest marijuana grows discovered in our area in years.
"We were tipped off," said California Department of Fish and Game spokesperson Andrew Hughan.
After that tip, wardens responded to section of the Cosumnes Wildlife Preserve near Galt where around 12 suspects immediately scattered, sparking a massive manhunt.
"We're very experienced at this, at looking for people especially in our wildlife areas, so we expect more arrests later in the evening," said Hughan.
They would arrest one man at the scene described as a 25-year-old who had a gun.
"Usually it's quiet out here; there's not anybody around," said a nearby resident who didn't want to be identified.
The unidentified man says he lives and works on a vineyard that borders the preserve and had no idea what was going on until law enforcement descended on the farmland.
"These are typically very well-funded, very well organized cartel grows from Mexico, and they do shoot first because they will protect their crop," said Hughan.
With more than 10,000 plants and counting, authorities are now searching for those who are on the run.

Businesses, nonprofits form group to address achievement gap
Send this to a friend
- Dirk DeYoung
- Editor- Minneapolis / St. Paul Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | LinkedIn | Google+
A number of prominent Twin Cities businesses and nonprofits have created a new organization aimed at reducing the achievement gap among students.
Participants include companies such as Target Corp. (NYSE: TGT), 3M Co. (NYSE: MMM), General Mills Inc. and HealthPartners as well as nonprofits such as the Greater Twin Cities United Way, the Amherst H. Wilder Foundation, and the Minnesota Minority Education Partnership, according to a story in the Star Tribune.
The group, called the Generation Next Partnership, has already hired an executive director, Michael Goar, and will introduce him at a kick-off event between 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Thursday at the University of Minnesota's McNamara Alumni Center. The organization's co-chairs are Kim Nelson, senior vice president of external relations at General Mills (NYSE: GIS) and president of the General Mills Foundation, and Eric Kaler, president of the University of Minnesota.
Generation Next will focus on improving graduation rates among minority and low-income students in Minneapolis and St. Paul. According to the Star Tribune, "Minnesota ranked last in four-year graduation rates for Latino and American Indian students, second-to-last for black students, and near the bottom for low-income students."
According to a news release, Generation Next's goals will be to ensure that every student in Minneapolis and St. Paul has an equal opportunity to:
- Enter kindergarten ready to succeed,
- Achieve third-grade reading benchmarks,
- Achieve eighth-grade math benchmarks,
- Graduate on time from high school, and
- Obtain a post-secondary degree or certificate within six years of graduation
The United Way will house the Generation Next group and provide start-up support, the news release said. The Wilder Foundation and Minnesota Minority Education Partnership will provide additional assistance.
Wendy Spencer, CEO of the Corporation for National and Community Service, will announce that the Generation Next Partnership will get a $2 million federal grant over two years from the Social Innovation Fund (SIF) that will be matched by local organizations.

Intel have just released findings from a study commisioned from Harris Interactive on american adult womens attitudes to technology.
From the above threadlinked press release:
A new, tech-savvy woman has emerged and Intel calls her "Tif," short for Technology Involved Female. She spans generations and backgrounds, from the young women who have grown up with technology, to women who have been exposed to technology at work, to motivated self-learners. Tif is closing the technology gender gap, with women at the youngest end of the spectrum actually surpassing men in their intent to purchase a laptop. Half of young women say their next computer will be a laptop as compared to 43 percent of men their same age
and some quick figures for you:
The survey concludes that women still lag behind men in some areas including confidence in their decision to purchase computers. "According to the survey, men are more likely than women to be confident in their technology purchases," said David Krane, senior vice president of Public Policy and Public Relations Research at Harris Interactive. "It makes sense for companies, such as Intel, to focus on women as a key audience and to create programs that educate them about technology."
Im certain there will be some opinions on this one, Elizabeth Albrycht was less than impressed.
Unsurprisingly, research shows that the most read email of any new newsletter sign up is the welcome mail. Mktg Sherpa have some pretty nice tips on improving yours. Here's the short version, check out the threadlink above for the full shebang...
There's a ton more detail at the article itself so if you run email news letters or anything similar check it out, it's pretty good.
Dave Naylor, a notorious blog spammer, search marketer, fat bloke and all round diamond geezer has a blog!
Presuming he can find time away from the wine to actually post coherently (not the norm) it'll be a fantasitic read!
Dave is a TW member, a good mate and a nice bloke. Go visit his blog and say something rude :)
A great tool by google :)
Suggests searches as you type!
Nick W
Great find! From the FAQ
As you type into the search box, Google Suggest guesses what you're typing and offers suggestions in real time. This is similar to Google's "Did you mean?" feature that offers alternative spellings for your query after you search, except that it works in real time. For example, if you type "bass," Google Suggest might offer a list of refinements that include "bass fishing" or "bass guitar." Similarly, if you type in only part of a word, like "progr," Google Suggest might offer you refinements like "programming," "programming languages," "progesterone," or "progressive." You can choose one by scrolling up or down the list with the arrow keys or mouse.
and TW member Wit posted this just about the same time (a fraction earlier i think..)
The Google boys and girls seem to have come up with a search enhancement - again (?). As soon as you start typing search terms, a list of options - together with their "total number of hits" - appears.
This is of course a useful tool for internet searchers AND a quick one for people looking for popular (??) keywords to optimise for.
Fascinating without a doubt, here it is directly: Google Suggest Option
Thanks to Seochat's new sunnymonkey for spotting that.
A new site launched this week with the goal of managing, measuring and monetizing your syndicated feeds.
Forresters Charlene Li takes a look at Syndicate IQ in the threadlink above as does John Battelle in this post
The system is able to accurately track the dailey circulation of an article by inserting a unique identifier in the feed url and tracking IP and browser type. Like Pheedo and RSSAds SyndicateIQ will be launching an ad network shortly.
From their monetization page:
Syndicate IQ leverages the unique characteristics of syndication while enabling the sophisticated targeting, customization, and optimization found in other marketing solutions such as ad serving and email delivery services. Our Trigon Engine allows content publishers to monetize syndicated content intelligently while deepening their relationships with their subscribers and growing their subscriber base.
That would seem to me to be a great next step for the monetization of feeds and the standardization of useful metrics for publishers - will be watching with interest for more from them...
VC Kevin Laws is speculating on the next step for desktop search in the threadlink above. His point is this: Wouldn't it be cool, not to mention logical if you were able to use your mobile device to search your home PC?
Imagine: You could search for a file from wherever you are, download it, work with it and return it. When you think about it in terms of business use it has ample room to become the next killer app in Search and mobile...
What do you think? I reckon that would be a killer move for whoever gets there first...
Caught this a moment ago, makes for interesting thought regarding mobile marketing in the future:
food for thought eh?
Picked this up off Google News, they know what our priorities are.
If you really want to make your eyes water, this is how the tests were done
I think we will be seeing a lot of threads on this today
The FT are reporting the imminent launch of Yahoo's Desktop Search based on the X1 desktop software. No firm date has been announced, "early next year" is the best you'll get for the moment.
From the FT story:
Jeff Weiner, head of search at Yahoo, described the desktop software as "the next natural evolution of search".
But he also cast the software as part of a broader strategy that would let users tap into Yahoo's wider array of internet services. The first test version of the software would be available over the web early in the new year, he added.

Do a search for dietary suppliments and see for yourself at the top. As far as im aware, barry, who spotted this in the threadlink above, is right on the money. This is does appear to be new.
I cant find anything else though a TW'er tells me she got something for a physics related query yesterday..
What do you guys make of it?
Google have apparently shelled out $300M on a new datacenter in a Georgia industrial park. About 100 employees in a non descript unmarked building with no windows - pffft! 007 eat your heart out hah!
This from the CRM Knowledgebase threadlink above:
Almost without notice, the Internet search company has tiptoed about 100 employees and a significant investment into a windowless building in a Douglas County industrial park near Six Flags Over Georgia.
There's no sign on the building, no logo on the locked glass door, nothing to indicate that an Internet icon has come to town.
A note taped to the door points visitors to a buzzer, which prompts a polite, but firm, female voice to shoo you away. The voice can't --- or won't --- confirm you've found Google, or even if you're in the right place.
It's all very mysterious.
So why the big hush hush? Sheesh, google are news, if sergey farts it hits the homepage of every major industry site on the net - did they think they'd be able to keep 100 people and all the people they know quiet for long?
You gotta love it... link via IG via SEWB
DMNews has a piece related to the launch of AdMarketplace yesterday in the threadlink above.
The question now, with this new player in town and the many other networks out there, is: Is the contectual ad space crowded enough for us to start seeing casualties?
Forbes ditched intelliTXT recently and i cant say i hear much about smaller networks like Quigo or ContextWeb. Tacoda's behavioral network seems interesting though and you cant go a week without hearing something from Kanoodle, which at this point just leaves Chitika. And we've not heard a peep from the "network of networks" since it's launch
The titans of context: Overture and Adsense may well fight their own battles but it seems likely there is room for both, possibly even Kanoodle, but what of the smaller networks mentioned above? Some questions on contextual search for Threadwatchers:
Let me know what you think...
Trademark Infringement Claims Now Extend to Meta Tags
According to Out-Law, using trademarked terms in your meta tags, could get you in trouble.
A biopharmaceutical firm that distributes plasma derivatives has sued a rival, alleging that Health Coalition Inc. used the trade marked name "BDI Blood Diagnostics" as a meta tag in its web site source code, according to a report by Law.com.
This, alleges Blood Diagnostics Inc., is a breach of its trade mark rights.

SELowdown point out this post threadlinked above at motley fool.
They're talking about Accoona specifically:
Even if you offered me $70 billion, I am not sure I could effectively break into the search engine business. To me, Accoona's late entry is a sign that the teams headed for the playoffs have been named and the competition will now begin in earnest. But maybe I'm wrong. As Rick Aristotle Munarriz pointed out, maybe it's just starting to boom. Either way, there's some tough competition down the road from the big guys in the search engine business.
So we have MSN, Google and Yahoo! making up the big 3 players with Jeeves coming up from the rear (i cant help it, im english) and a whole gaggle of specialist SE's that seem to only make a hit with Search folks.
Could the game sustain another player of is that it?
Chicago, recenlty appointed moderator of WMW's new Local Searh Forum has a fantastic discussion going with some of the boards heavy hitters on how to manipulate Yahoo! Local with "user ratings".
Users can order their results by user reviews and so both automated, dodgy tactics and clever legit strategies for exploiting this are disussed in detail. Stars of the show are Chicago, eWhisper and tedster. This from Chicago:
When is the last time you checked your business or your client's business reviews? When is the last time you submitted a review? How about your competitors (scary)?
and this from tedster:
Using Amazon's review system, the best way we found to get good, natural reviews was to ask our happy customers to post one. In some cases, we offered a perk of some kind, especially for those listmaniacs who took the time to put together a list. This worked very nicely and created natural positive reviews - avoiding the stilted sound that people who have a business involvement with a product tend to use.
So I would imagine the same would apply to a pizza parlor, a general contractor, a real estate agent - anyone who already has happy campers in their corner and uses local search. And of course, if you don't make customers happy (or don't know if you do) then that would be step number one for the business anyway.
A very nice read, thanks Chicago!
Some questions this raises for me:
Good stuff from the wmw boys and girls...
The BBC are reporting on the proposed outlawing of "upskirt pics" - It's quite amazing that this kind of invasion of privacy isn't covered already in some more general law but in NZ apparently the photos would have to be proven "objectionable" first...

Peter Davanzo points out an article submitted by a searchengineblog reader that hits the nail right on the head for me. Mobile search will change everything.. - See the full article threadlinked above.
The author, Scott Schaffer points out that at some point in the not to distant future, mobile net activity will surpass the regular PC net we know now. And more to the point, the throat will be ripped out of online advertising as PPC advertisers struggle to adapt to a very different set of stats for net usage and a mobile consumer landscape with a very different model for information retrieval.
He goes on to hypothesis about scanning barcodes to get information rather than laboriously typing in phrases into a search engine and how who holds a trademark will count far more than who has the highest ranking on Google.
It's a damn good read, and although there is still infinate room for the mobile web to shape itself in any manner of direction I think he paints a plausible picture. Go have a look and tell me what you think...
Well, Barry Schwartz has got the ball rolling with regards to the upcoming SES so i guess it's time I pulled out a few threads i've had bookmarked the last couple of weeks:

Fairfax ordered to pay $350,000 to teacher wrongly identified as having sex with students
Fairfax has been ordered to pay a female Catholic teacher $350,000 in damages after a story in the Sydney Morning Herald in January wrongly identified her as having had sex with male students.
Although Melinda Pedavoli, who works at Aloysius College on Sydney's northern beaches, was not named in the story, information including her age and subjects she taught led to her being wrongly identified.
However, the article got some of the details about the teacher who was the subject of the allegations wrong, including her age, meaning she did not fit the description.
Former Optus executive heads up marketing for new New York-based Virgin venture

ABC defends axing rugby despite receiving financial help for broadcast costs
The ABC has defended its decision to axe coverage of club rugby in New South Wales despite receiving financial help from the state's rugby union body to cover the broadcast costs.
The New South Wales Rugby Union (NSWRU) handed the public broadcaster $120,000 to assist with the costs last season in a move to ensure coverage of the Shute Shield tournament remained on TV.
But the competition was one of the sporting events to be culled by the ABC this week as it grappled with budget cuts. Coverage of women's football and women's basketball will also be withdrawn.
The broadcaster cited the decision to "rationalise our outside broadcast vans" as one of the reasons behind the decision, arguing there was a "strong business case" to stop coverage of the Shute Shield despite the financial assistance from the NSWRU which is thought to have been around 10 per cent of the total broadcast costs.

RSAC use puppets to urge road users to 'Say thank you not f*** you'
The Tasmanian Road Safety Advisory Council (RSAC) is urging road users to be more considerate of others on the road as opposed to resorting to road rage in a new campaign which sees puppets take on the roles of drivers, cyclists and motorcyclists as they sing a song about road use behaviour.
Created by Hobart-based creative agency Red Jelly, the campaign features characters from puppet theatre Terrapin who sing the song 'Say Thank You, Not **** You' written by agency copywriter Chris Bellears.
Red Jelly creative director Andrew Timbs said: "It was important we delivered this road safety message in a unique way that would get noticed, be sharable and memorable. It was also important our idea was 'sticky' especially when it was most needed – out and about on our roads – hence the use of song and a strong radio component."

The City of Sydney has begun rolling out this year's Christmas branding which features a colourful Christmas tree emblem.
Created by brand and design studio Holt, the branding is running across outdoor, digital and print media. It bears a relation to last year's branding which was a star featuring similar pixelated bright colours.
Holt creative director Christopher Holt said: "The 2014 Christmas campaign will be highly visible throughout inner-Sydney via city flags. This got us thinking about how to utilise the nature of the medium to augment the creative and give it life. The notion of wind was the basis of this idea.

Agencies who retain 'toxic' staff lose right to claim they are value-driven, trainer says
The boss of a training firm has accused agencies of running sub-standard recruitment programs and for hanging onto "toxic" members of staff too long.
Richard Wentworth-Ping, founder of Wentworth People, told a conference that too many companies still hire staff based on a "gut feel" when more vigorous processes should be in place.
He added that businesses who tolerate disruptive employees – even if they are performing well and hitting targets – have no right to call themselves a value-driven organisation.

Viral anti-duck hunting video created in-house by rights group with no marketing team
Australia's most viral ad of this year was created in-house at the end of a work day by an organisation with no dedicated marketing team.
Animals Australia created the video, which has been watched 89 million times across the world in 10 days, by putting together a series of clips of people helping ducks with the aim of bypassing the usual style of showcasing the impact of human cruelty to animals.
Speaking to Mumbrella on the video's success the group's creative director Karen Nilsen said: "It was off the back of a joint campaign we ran with RSPCA Victoria and 54 other organisations to try and send a message to the Victorian Labor party to remind them that Victorians want an end to duck shooting.
"Duck shooting is a heavy, distressing topic and the reason its banned in three states is because of cruelty and we could have gone out and reminded everyone about how cruel and brutal this so-called sport is. But instead we thought well what if we turn that around and instead remind people that its in our nature to inherently be kind and the way people respond to seeing acts of kindness really exemplifies that."
