- Roger Federer on the challenge that is Rafael Nadal
Deliberate, delusional or just plain desperate? Discusssss.
(via GOTOTENNIS)
a raw + uncut approach to tennis
Labels: Miami, player quotes, Roger Federer, Sony Ericsson Open, tennis
Delusional.Stubborn as bull also, and signs of stupidity.I swear, if he doesn't get a coach ASAP, or if he continues to beat himself with 32432403294 UE whenever he loses, I'll grow horns.
He's starting to bug me, big time, and I'm his fan, more then Rafa's, so as his fan, seeing his stubbornes grow is making me not even wanna watch or here about his SF or final matches/loses, it's nerve breaking.Damnit.How did he even dominate those 4 years, I wonder these days.He needs awakening, now.
I'd say Roger is in serious DENIAL.
And I ROTFL'd when Roger's delusional quote was followed by that WTF expression on Rafa's face just below it.
I'm coming to terms with the fact that being a fan of Roger means having to make do with minimal content in what he says about anything. Maybe it's just me, but I keep expecting him to have some big honesty session where he spills his guts about his lack of focus on court. It'll never happen though, right? I don't think he's delusional, for the record. He's just incredibly stubborn so he's never going to admit he's messing up or he hasn't got a solution to Rafa's game.
ReplyDeleteI can't stand this anymore. Roger, get a coach!! Please!!!
ReplyDelete"Damnit.How did he even dominate those 4 years, I wonder these days..."
By not only being the best player around, but by having star-struck opponents (Blake, Roddick, et. al.) agree, go all goo-goo eyed over his lovely shot-making and meekly accept the pecking order.
like beggars, they were happy, even grateful to steal a set off him, whereas the likes of Nadal, Murray, Djokovic, Simon have the audacity to aim to win the match.
Yes, there was a brief blip when Safin played, not even to win, but to force Federer to respect him, rather than merely toy around with him in his usual cat-and-mouse fashion. (And whadd'ye know - Safin actually won that one, but that's what comes of playing against Federer with some coherent intention or discernable ambition in mind...)
What amazes me is that Roger has managed to keep his feet (somewhat) on the ground, during those hyperbolic years with almost everyone all but telling him that he was a God and that his game was akin to a 'religious experience' etc.
Not surprising at all that he's having a hard time coming to grips with being a mere mortal now...
"I know how I have to play him. I've beat him enough to know."
Umm...The last time you beat Rafa was back in 2007. That's quite a long time ago, you know. It's one thing to know how to play him but whether you can beat him is a different thing.
Rog time for a lie down in a darkened padded room.
He is delusional and sounding more and more so every time he gives an interview
Ha!of course all of you saying he is delusional are clearly anti roger!stop being hypocrites.You would rue this day when your favorite player travels the same darkened path!the question is ?would he last?
ReplyDeleteI would laugh when your so called no 1 was replaced by Murray or someone else sooner than later!Celebrate now for it wont last!
ReplyDeleteTo Anonymous 8.08 & 8.10,
Don't expect anyone to be as delusion as yourself. We Rafa fans are well awared that his days at the top won't last forever. Even Rafa himself has stated that fact so many times. We're as 'realistic' as our hero because we didn't cheer for him thinking he'd turn into a GOAT candidate to start with. The fact that he is now is just a bonus. Federer and his fans on the other hand seem to live in the ivory tower for too long you got hurt when reality hit you.
We were happy cheering for Rafa even when he was no.2, only good on clay and had a slim chance to reach no.1. Bitter fedfans should learn something from us.
As a Rafa fan we have an important quality that Federer and his fans seem to be lacking which is a grip on reality. We know Rafa is going to be replaced at number one at some point. You know why we know this? Clue? It happens to every tennis player who reaches number one. One thing I can assure you though is Rafa and his fans will behave with grace as they normally do when that day comes. Rafa will not be making any deluded excuses for himself.
ReplyDelete"Rafa fans" "Roger fans".... don't make over generalisations....not all fans react in the same manner. A lot of Roger fans are still as devoted despite Roger not being as dominant. While others feel like Roger owes them something.

This country profile analyzes Ecuador's migration trends and examines how remittances and return migration have become an important policy focus for a country with an estimated 1.5 million to 2 million nationals living abroad, chiefly in the United States, Spain, and Italy. As waves of emigration occurred, the country also has experienced significant inflows of refugees and economic and lifestyle migrants.
Sous l'effet du nombre croissant de migrants sur son sol, la société marocaine se retrouve confrontée à un ensemble totalement nouveau de questions sociales et juridiques qui sont typiques des pays d'immigration. Face à cette évolution, les autorités marocaines ont annoncé une nouvelle politique migratoire en 2013, que ce profil pays se propose d'analyser.
Economic turmoil has been a primary driver of emigration from The Gambia, located in West Africa and the smallest country on the African continent. Despite having a decades-old, extensive diaspora mainly in Spain, the United States, Nigeria, Senegal, and the United Kingdom, the Gambian government has only very recently begun to reach out to its citizens abroad. This article explores The Gambia's migration history, emigration and immigration trends, remittances, economic impacts of skilled emigration, and recent efforts by the government to reach out to The Gambian diaspora.
Fundamental demographic, economic, and educational changes have set Mexico on a new path, significantly altering its migration-related priorities and concerns vis-a-vis the United States and Central America. This article examines new migration trends, Mexico's role as a country of transit and increasingly of destination, the 2011 migration law, remittances, government policies on the Mexican diaspora, and more.
Immigration has contributed to many of the economic, social, and political processes that are foundational to the United States as a nation since the first newcomers arrived over 400 years ago. After brushes with immigration reform that began in 2001 and continued in 2006 and 2007, the United States seems to be on the threshold of overhauling the legal immigration system in the most substantive way since 1965. This article provides a comprehensive overview of major legislation and events affecting U.S. immigration throughout history, legal and illegal immigration flows, postrecession immigration trends, and more.

The global economic crisis and changing migration patterns in Europe bring up questions about how well immigrants are able to find employment and progress into better jobs over time. This overview report caps a series of six country case studies evaluating the employment outcomes for foreign-born workers during their first decade in the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.
This report analyzes the labor market integration of newcomers to Germany, who tend to have different national origins and higher levels of education than earlier waves of migrants. These new immigrants have had varying levels of success in finding employment and transitioning into higher-skilled jobs.
This report analyzes the labor market integration of recent immigrants to the United Kingdom. During the 2000s, a large influx of labor from Eastern European countries transformed the United Kingdom's immigrant population and labor market. The report finds that over time, these new arrivals showed some progress in moving out of the lowest-skilled jobs.
This report analyzes how recent immigrants to France fare in the country's labor market over time. The research shows that new arrivals initially face a hostile labor market and ultimately improve their employment outcomes—but their process of labor market insertion and advancement is a slow one.
Many of Sweden's immigrants are refugees who lack the skills and education to gain employment soon after they arrive. Over time, however, newcomers to Sweden have improved their employment rates, displayed income growth similar to natives, and moved from low- to middle-skilled positions. This report assesses how new immigrants—refugees, labor migrants, and others—fare in Sweden's labor market.
This report assesses how new immigrants to Spain fare in the country's labor market, evaluating the conditions under which they are able to find employment, and their progress out of unskilled work into middle-skilled jobs. The report is part of a series of six case studies on labor market outcomes among immigrants to European Union countries.
This report assesses the labor market outcomes of new immigrants in the Czech Republic, focusing on trends according to year of arrival, country of origin, gender, level of education, and sector of employment. The analysis suggests that the challenge of reducing obstacles to immigrant workers' progression into more skilled employment are worth significant policy attention.
La migración ha contribuido a dar forma y definir las relaciones entre Estados Unidos y México desde hace más de un siglo, y las relaciones con Centroamérica aproximadamente durante los últimos 30 años. A veces, incluso la migración se convierte en la lente a través de la cual se consideran todos los otros aspectos de esta relación.

Senate candidate puts big business in cross hairs
Weiland says special interest groups hold too much power
Rick Weiland knows his way around Dell Rapids. Ties to northern Minnehaha County are plenty for the Democratic candidate vying for the office U.S. Senator Tim Johnson will leave behind in 2015.The 54-year-old Madison native's great grand father had a hand in building some of the area's historic landmarks as a well known stone cutter, one of his great aunts cooked for the Odd Fellows Nursing Home for years and his nephew Justin is the Dell Rapids City Administrator."Roots run pretty deep in this part of the state," he said last Tuesday at Thanks A Latte coffee shop in Dell Rapids, the first stop on his 100-city "Take It Back" tour.Weiland spent about an hour in Dell Rapids, speaking with both supporters and potential voters."I've never seen Washington so goofed up," he said of why he decided to run for office. "There's so much big money driving a lot of decisions out there or getting in the way of dealing with some of the problems this country has."Weiland said South Dakotans need a leader who will stand up to special interests if those interests aren't shared by Americans."We've got a Congress that's more interested in taking care of billionaires and big corporations than they are the American people," he said. "Just talking about it and taking it on and exposing it for what it is is the beginning of that effort … to take our country back. I'm not afraid to do it." After graduating from the University of South Dakota in 1980, Weiland worked for Sen. Tom Daschle in various positions until 1995 when he began an unsuccessful bid for South Dakota's lone seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. After another unsuccessful run for the same seat in 2002, Weiland found success in the private sector. He and his wife own Parker's Bistro restaurant in Sioux Falls.Weiland said he is confident he can wage a competitive campaign, whether his eventual opponent is former Gov. Mike Rounds or any other Republican candidate, even if his campaign is out spent."I'm asking people to give me nine bucks compared one of my likely opponents, who's boasting a $9 million campaign," he said.The Weiland camp raised $105,000 in the second quarter of 2013.

The Graff Icon is synonymous with Graff. Its outline can be seen throughout Graff's stores globally, from its elaborate entrance ways to finer, more simplistic, detailing in-store.
The Graff Icon's delicate lines and flowing curves are inspired by the renowned 'hair and jewel' coiffure, created by Laurence Graff in 1970. The ornate creation of diamonds and gems referenced the royal hair fashions of 18th century Versailles, and embodied a graceful femininity which is reflected in the Graff Icon.
This is the first time this timeless motif has been incorporated into a jewellery collection, featuring outstanding contemporary pendants, earrings and bracelets - each interpreting the Icon's distinctive outline.

Crisp Refreshment in Sauvignon Blanc
Now, the chardonnay producers have pulled back and are making leaner, livelier non-oaky chardonnays. Could it be that many California chardonnays are now trying to capitalize on the success of sauvignon blanc?
Unpretentious sauvignon blancs from Napa and Sonoma Counties, with their suggestions of lemon and herbs, have something to say: bring on the food. These wines have a particular talent for grappling with tricky culinary challenges like bold acid and even sweetness.
I find them as suited as the Italian pinot grigios I like to pour with a Venetian classic, fish in saor. It's a wonderful summer dish, which can be made in advance and left to marinate, then served at room temperature. ''In saor'' refers to the sweet vinegar and onion marinade.

Innergie's super compact mCube Slim universal power adapter
Article Summary
Power supplies are the bane of the regular business traveler.

The mCube slim weighs just 150g, is smaller than an iPhone, can charge two devices simultaneously, fits all common notebooks and will charge almost every other portable device.

Wonder why the board is so quiet? No one has checked in for a couple days.
I had a good day. Made a noon meeting at my club. It was a good meeting. I was glad to be there. My mother-in-law is coming to visit for a week. My husband made chilli and I made a chocolate cake. She is from Seattle and elderly so I am very glad the weather is pleasant. This is an important visit as she is going to look at a place to move to here. She has finally made a decision that it is time. We are glad because she is 84! Although she has a good support network there it just seems time for her to be near us. Changes ahead come the spring when her current lease expires!
Happy sober October 1st!

Americans' Use of Time, 1965-1966 (ICPSR 7254)
Principal Investigator(s): Converse, Philip E.; Robinson, John P.
These data were gathered as part of a multinational time budget project (see also TIME USE IN ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL ACCOUNTS, 1975-1976 [ICPSR 7580] and AMERICANS' USE OF TIME, 1965-1966, AND TIME USE IN ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL ACCOUNTS, 1975-1976: MERGED DATA [ICPSR 7796]). This study includes variables of two general types. One group concerns sociodemographic characteristics of respondents and households, the other set deals with time use. The time use data were obtained by having respondents keep a complete diary of their activities for a single 24-hour period between November 15 and December 15, 1965, or between March 7 and April 29, 1966. Additional data were gathered from an interview taken on the day after the diary was completed. Data on both primary and secondary time use were recorded, along with where and with whom the activities took place.

Arizona Sports predicts Cardinals vs. Jets
The Arizona Cardinals are 4-7.
The New York Jets are 4-7.
Someone has to win -- or, rather, someone has to not-lose.
Can the Cardinals end their losing streak in the Big Apple? The experts from ArizonaSports620 tell you what they think.
Share your own prediction with a comment.
Vince Marotta |
They're still playing this game? OK, just kidding. Two 4-7 teams headed in the wrong direction, and there's some speculation that the losing coach will also lose their job. Unlike the Jets, the Cardinals have been mostly competitive during their seven-game losing streak. Rex Ryan's team has been blown out by an average of 24 points in their last three losses -- including the Thanksgiving night debacle at the hands of the Patriots. Seriously, I laughed about Mark Sanchez's butt sack and fumble for about 30 solid minutes. But going on the road to the East coast to play an early game is never easy, especially when you're facing a team that's a little more rested. If the Jets can overcome their heavy hearts in the wake of Fireman Ed stepping down as the most annoying fan, I mean, the unofficial team mascot, they'll win.
Final Score: Jets 20, Cardinals 17 |
John Gambadoro |
Do they have to play? Can't take the Cardinals on the road and bringing with them a pathetic 7-game losing streak, even against an inept Jets team. New York, embarrassed by New England on Thanksgiving Day, got a few extra days to get healthy and prepare for Arizona and that should be enough to squeak out a victory. Arizona will play hard; they haven't quit on Ken Whisenhunt yet, but the lack of a quarterback is just killing them. I look for Lindley to improve some and a heavy dose of Beanie Wells. But this game comes down to who makes more mistakes not who makes more big plays, and that unfortunately is the Cardinals.
Final Score: Jets 20, Cardinals 17 |
Adam Green |
Cardinals/Jets is the type of matchup dreams are made of.
Horrible, horrible dreams. The Jets might be the only team in the NFL with a worse quarterback situation than the Cardinals, though any difference is pretty negligible. Mark Sanchez isn't great, but he has some ability -- we can't for sure say the same for Ryan Lindley.
This game will not be pretty.
Joe Huizenga |
Both these teams have had devastating injuries this year.
Ryan Lindley's had the bulk of two games as starting QB under center now�they haven't been pretty but I just have a hunch it finally comes together a bit more this week for the Cardinals.
Basically, the Jets are a bigger mess�smile Cardinal fans, smile.
Dave Burns |
Two teams who win about as often as I hit the gym meet up on Sunday. Hard to pick a winner in this bunch. The Jets' issues have been magnified because they're the Jets, but they have the better QB, they're at home, it's a long trip for a Cardinals team that is riding a two month losing streak, and the Jets have the benefit of extra time to prepare. As bad as they are, there are more reasons to pick the Jets than the Cards.
Final Score: Jets 20, Cardinals 17 |
Dave Dulberg |
The Jets are 2-4 at home this season, with their four losses coming by an average of 22.7 points per game. The Cardinals are the first NFL team in history to a season 4-0 only to lose their next seven games. The scheduling gods have made it so that one of those awful statistics has to come to a screeching halt on Sunday. Unfortunately for Cardinals fans, brace yourself for loss No. 8. When Mark Sanchez is the more competent starting quarterback, you know you're in for a long day. Ryan Lindley won't throw four INTs this week, but he'll turn the ball over just enough to keep Arizona from competing late.
Final Score: Jets 24, Cardinals 14 |
Carter Nacke |
Sunday is going to be ugly. The Jets have been struggling almost as bad as the Cardinals, and Sunday is going to be a toss-up. However, I'm predicting the upset. Cards D is going to come up big and a last-second Feely FG will seal the.
Final Score: Cardinals 16, Jets 13 |
Charlie Feinerman |
Finally, the Cardinals will end the losing streak. Ryan Lindley has a big game, showing his full potential with at least 250 yards, 3 touchdown passes and one interception. The Jets (unless it becomes Tebow Time) will gain a total of 150 yards against the Cardinals defense. Patrick Peterson finally get a punt return touchdown.
Final Score: Cardinals 24, Jets 3 |
Katy Hartley |
So Lindley is starting and the Cards have lost their center� Looks to be another underwhelming performance by the offense� The defense might be able to keep it close, but typically the Cards struggle on the East coast - I think Jets have the edge with home field advantage.
Final Score: Jets 24, Cardinals 17 |
James Mello |
The Cardinals are better in every phase of the game at this point in the season. There are very few teams the Cardinals could say that about offensively, but the Jets are one of them. Offensively the Cards still have more talent because of a lack of receiving threats for the Jets. The Cardinals' main goal offensively will be to just not lose the game. The defense of the Cards will be able to create problems early and often against the Jets. If they were able to intercept Matt Ryan five times, Mark Sanchez should be no issue. Arizona is better on special teams as well, which was shown by the consistent blunders on Thanksgiving by the Jets against New England. Low scoring game but Arizona wins.
Final Score: Cardinals 14, Jets 10 |

Tom Petty Ticket Information
Established in the mid-1970s, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers has long been at the forefront of the genre as evidenced by the numerous achievements attained by the group throughout its legendary decades-long run that's shown little sign of stopping. Equipped with the innate ability to produce catchy, fan favorite tracks virtually right from the start, the group arrived on the music scene with a self-titled album and top-40 track in "Breakdown." The first Platinum-certified record was secured a short time later via "Damn the Torpedoes," which proved to be just the beginning for Tom Petty and Heartbreakers and notable milestones, as later down the road, the band's iconic 1993 "Greatest Hits" compilation earned the RIAA's prestigious Diamond certification thanks to the inclusion of classics like "American Girl," "I Won't Back Down," and "Free Fallin," just to name a few. Experience all the hits from the incredible discography live with a purchase of Tom Petty tickets from Vivid Seats.

What most Western media are really calling for is for President Morsi to abandon the program/platform for which his party The Moslem Brotherhood and he personally were ELECTED to IMPLEMENT.
Why should they?? Why should he ?? given an unchallengeable freely awarded popular mandate for going that particular way??
Some call for accommodating the opposition....but that is an opposition with minority public support should we go by the outcome of two free elections: Parliamentary and Presidential.
Had the proposed constitution been the work of a Constitutional Council appointed by a government which came to power through a "coup d'état" or other non democratic means they would be within their right to call for free elections to determine public will.....
BUT that is not the case: the Constitutional Council which drafted the proposed constitution was elected by the majority of a freely and democratically elected PARLIAMENT and the action taken thereafter (the call for a REFERUNDUM) was taken by a duly democratically elected President.
What most Western media are really advocating is for President Morsi to ignore and way lay a clear public will duly expressed in two democratic ways.
All of which only goes to show the utter INSINCERITY HYPOCRISY and total falseness of WESTERN call for DEMOCRACY.
They will accept its output ONLY if it satisfies their designs ambitions and interests NOT if it embodies genuine public will.
In so many ways I am glad the Muslim Brotherhood have had a chance to taste power, because this is the only way to know if they are competent to govern. For many years they built a mystic about them, now President Mursi the first elected Egyptian President has the opportunity to show the world that a political party based on "Islamic" Ideology are either different or the same old game new beard! (note I did not use the word Islamist, tired of the word Islam being demonised in ignorance)So long as the process of democracy is not tarnished, which has a risk after watching President Mursi's action in granting absolute authority, but I hope he wakes up to reality, you need to consult with people. Egypt is not the same as it was before. You can also have Law based on Islam according to the interpretation of one school, this is the risk of giving Mursi the authority to construct the constitution based on one school of thought. Better consultation will mean a broader constitution, tolerant, just and incorporated to include the whole population. It will never be perfect, but name me one example that really is perfect.
He had a great opportunity to shine after Gaza, but I worry power got to his head. I hope that is not the case, but a little humility and realism will ascend to his thinking and Egypt prospers. A nation that is rich in history and people deserves prosperity so long as judiciary and media are independent, transparency and governance with justice prevails there is hope.
People who criticize the arab spring are plain ignorants or/and stupids.
They don't know anything about history or if they know it, they have just memorized events without understanding anything.
Democracy is the most expensive stuff in the planet, the western countries have passed through centuries of slaughtering, wars, genocides/holocausts, tyrannies, people beheaded, burnt, slit into pieces, etc. Look at the French revolution, what we see now in the Arab world is not even a 1% of the barbarism occurred in France, United States (during the terrible bloody civil war), Germany, Italy, Spain (its civil war). Egypt is moving FAST towards civilization and democracy, people are showing MATURITY and understanding of democratic principles despite a total lack of experience of it.
They kicked Mubarak out. The majority trusted Morsi and a good portion of that majority want him out now. No compromise on democracy. That's great. Egypt will pass through months, years of instability, but these facts -if we know history- should give us HOPE not make us disappointed. Egyptians are moving towards democracy 100 faster than European had done few decades or a couple of centuries ago. Study and UNDERSTAND history and sociology, than judge again the current situation. Our civilization is 6000-7000 years old, 50-100 or 200 years late in democratization in one country is NOTHING. They are not barbarians, they are just behind in this process. Democracy is very dear, its price is quoted in war, blood and suffering, it's the principle of attempt,mistake and correction, just like a child who starts to walk his first steps.
What a pity, reading most of comments down, most of people don't know anything about history.
A valid point made, however I don't believe, (and I gather neither does this publication), that a transition to democracy happens over night and without hiccups. Certainly, it is a long drawn out process that by definition will encounter significant opposition and resistance. That said, the issuance of blanket immunity and "above-the-law" status to Morsi smacks too closely of Mubarak's "emergency powers", which lasted for decades. It smacks too closely of a return to dictatorship for anyone to regard the new government as credible. Of course, democratization is a case of 2 steps forward, 1 step back. But I would argue that this is an example not moving forwards at all. Where do you envisage Egypt being in 10 years time? I certainly wouldn't put any money on there being a remotely democratic and free society.
Well said. I'm proud of my brothers in Egypt. A nation that emerges after almost 50 years of autocratic rule will not become an instantly a stable democracy, it will take time but Egyptian people are telling Morsi and others that they will never allow another dictator and he's being naive.
Orthodox Religion does not work with Democracy. As perfect examples, look at the Calaphists in the Middle East (of which the Muslim Brotherhood is the main driving force) and of the Dominionists in various western nations (Michelle Bachmann and Ann Coulter are in this group). They will use democracy for as long as necessary to achieve their goals, which is the establishment of a theocracy (with their own particular flavour of theism at the helm).
It is a global pattern -the judges versus politicians. In Sri Lanka,the Parliament has taken up impeachment proceedings against the chief justice. But what about litigants? If Morsi has assumed sweeping powers,then the judiciary in Egypt also has such powers - then why accuse Morsi alone? Has the judiciary ever thought of hapless litigants,who have no powers against judicial excesses? Judges wanted to defy the Egyptian government,but were they willing to give the same powers to litigants? Litigants have no place in the legal system - there are separate laws for judges,and lawyers,but not for litigants. The judges in Egypt first talk of accountability,and protecting litigants' interests. Without accountability,the system of judiciary is ineffective and inefficient. The judiciary in Egypt first talk of empowerment of litigants,which is vital and transparency in courts' functioning.
Recently,the Singapore High Court passed an injunction order against the against the Maldives government for refusing to honour an order of the court,staying the termination of a business contract awarded to a company,for developing and operating the Male's airport. Now,the Male government is insisting that the injunction could not be issued against a sovreign government,.
In India also,in the facebook arrests of two girls in Palghar,the magistrate did not apply his mind,and instead of dismissing the case against these two kids,he made them apply for a regular bail. Now,the magistrate has been suspended by a higher court. The issue raises on the plight of litigants before a judge,who does not apply his mind. Should the judge get away,with a mere transfer? A hapless litigant and even the public are not free to express their opinion on judgements,as there is no legal protection. One of the bail conditions was that the girls will have to visit the polic stationevery Wednesday. Now,fortunately,this condition has been removed by the Sessions Court,and the girls will have no longer to visit thepolice station. The State government is planning to withdraw cases against these two girls. Does not the magistrate know the law that no bail conditions can be imposed if the offence committed is punishable with less than seven years of imprisonment? These two girls were arrested for denouncing the closure of Mumbai,following death of a leader,and their uncle's hospital was vandalised by the workers of a political party. There is an act which makes violent attacks on hospitals,a non-bailable offence,but the magistrate granted bail to the 10 culprits,and the bail amount was 50 per cent less than that of what paid by girls. The judges have to be made accountable for their judgements. India is also thinking of introducing a bill for judicial reforms. Now,the Sessions Court has given relief to these two girls,and has exempted them from police station visits.
This week's copy of 'Veja' (I'm writing from Brazil)lists some of the laws passed.
Appparently one law repeals the law against trafficking in humans - a special request from the Salafists who wish to buy wives. Another perhaps ultimately even more dangerous law is, of course, that against blasphemy.
Big deal, you are thinking? Kindly remember the Iranian revolution, where the significance of blasphemy was equally lost on many participants. Blasphemy means, as Ayatollah Khomeini made clear in his writings,going against God. Hence, opposing those who rule in God's name is blasphemy. Hence, agitating for democracy is blasphemy.
The Economist is supposed to be a big-picture publication...
For a start, we can guess that emigration among Egyptian Copts will accelerate in tandem with the increase in attacks on Christians and churches! Anybody fancy a bet?
" For a start, we can guess that emigration among Egyptian Copts will accelerate in tandem with the increase in attacks on Christians and churches! Anybody fancy a bet?"
It would be a sucker's bet...
Oh, I though I was going to read about the US.....then I saw something about "Egypt's president.....".
It is very disappointing to see the way things have turned up in Egypt.
Viewed from outside it looks like Mr Morsi has falen a victim to the old adage: "Power corrupts absolute..."
Gone is all the excitement about the dawn of democracy.One wonders if there are foreign hands working to derail the march for people power in Egypt!
Why would Morsi do this when he won popular support?
You have made a good point but dont you feel its too early to pass judgements on Morsi. Definitely absolute power corrupts absolutely but Morsi has a tough battle with the judiciary and bureacracy.
Oh, poor Morsi...
It is all because of the Israelis (Jews)
Uh, Poe's Law?...
Isn't everything that happens on the planet?
The Arab Spring was never about democracy. It was all about installing a new dictator, an Islamic dictator. The election will prove this. Who would even consider voting against Allah?
He is copying our Preaidents tactic and style ... rile up your supporters and then just make your own rules
The current American administration encouraged the overthrow of the muslim governments and now has a real mess on their hands. One set of dictators is being replaced by another set which is potentially worse and more insane. How can that possibly be seen as a good thing for anyone?
What is the administration thinking? The "Arab Spring" may well turn-out to be a the "Insane despot Spring."
When Christianity held sway in Europe the situation was just as bad as what we now see in the islamic world. Actually it was worse.
The solution was to defang religion by insisting on secular government. Theocracies always behave just as Morisi is now doing. This should surprise exactly no one.
The real problem here is islam. Unlike other religions islam has always insisted upon political and military power. There is no "Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's…" in the Koran. Mohamed was not just a religious prophet like Jesus or Buddha, he was a political and military leader as well and muslims have been trying to emulate him ever since... leading to their own oppression. Make no mistake, the people most harmed by the insistence on Islamic theocratic rule are muslims themselves.
Muslims, however, have been very slow in catching onto this. They have literally killed off any dissenting opinions by again following the words and deeds of Mohamed. There is no "turn the other cheek" in islam. Mohammed was quite clear in his words and actions that killing dissenters was to be encouraged.
I think the reformation that would allow secular government to take hold in the Islamic world is showing some signs of life. Turkey for instance is an example of this. However, I just can't find much room for optimism. I think it will be a very long, drawn out affair if it happens at all.
I think what we find generally and especially in Turkey is that secularism can only flourish if imposed by force top down. Without this Islam always wins out. Democracy in muslim countries leads to islamists taking power and a slow and steady crawl towards more and more extreme forms of Islam. Muslim populations are generally very extremist.
"When Christianity held sway in Europe the situation was just as bad as what we now see in the islamic world. Actually it was worse. The solution was to defang religion by insisting on secular government."
Not true, Europeans had to leave Christianity before they wanted a secular government. The Egyptians are devout Muslims and will vote for Allah. You must go to Egypt as a secular missionary and convert them before they will vote against Allah.
"Not true, Europeans had to leave Christianity before they wanted a secular government."
Yes, it's true. Europe has not left Christianity and a few still have official Christian churches. (Church of England, Church of Denmark, Church of Greece )They haven't left Christianity, they have merely separated the churches from political power.
Europe reformed from within because free thinkers were tolerated. They are not tolerated in the Islamic world thanks to the words and deeds of Mohamed.
Secular Mubarak was the leading figure in egypt for decades , yet what happened ..Egyptians rejected him . So coming to the conclusion that secularism is the only way out is absolutely incorrect.
Mr Morsi has just taken over the reigns from the earlier corrupt regime yet one needs to understand that only the politicians have changed while the judiciary and bureacracy is of the old regime itself. It was the same judiciary which on technical issues rejected the democratically elected parliament and is hostile to the new developments taking place . To combat these forces Morsi needs more power and he is wise by asking for a democratic referendum on the same.
Take time to study the life of prophet from unbiased sources before taking shots at him. Read what people like Mahatma Gandhi and Thomas Carlyle said about him. Sir George Bernard Shaw thinks that someone like Muhammad if given control over mankind will solve all their problems . There are muslims out there in Egypt who believe all this to be true then atleast give them a chance to try this. Coming to the question of Islam then please note that muslims have not been very happy living under non islamic rule. The last 50 odd years is an example of it. The secular dictators had made life difficult for the common masses and after a really long time the reigns finally fell to people with new ideology.
I request people to come out of islamophobia and start thinking rationally. The secularists had their chance ,now let the islamists try.
"Secular Mubarak was the leading figure in egypt for decades , yet what happened ..Egyptians rejected him . So coming to the conclusion that secularism is the only way out is absolutely incorrect."
Mubaraks problem was not secularism, it was dictatorship. Given the title of this article I didn't think it was necessary to point this out. Let me make it more clear, it's secular democracy that is needed. There is no such thing as islmaic democracy, or christian democracy or any other redefinition of democracy that forces people to vote for only one superstition.
"Take time to study the life of prophet from unbiased sources before taking shots at him."
Of the two of us, who do you think is least biased? A true believer like yourself or a non religious person like me?(It's me!)
I have studied the life of Mohamed and everything I said about islam is easy to understand if you are not biased by faith in the supernatural. The intolerance, the misogyny, the obsession with the search for the "great man" to lead by dictatorship are all based on flawed portions of the Koran.
Your post represents everything that is wrong about islam in particular and religion in general.
"someone like Muhammad if given control over mankind will solve all their problems"
This is a very sad comment indeed. You're setting yourself up for rule by a series of dictators while paving the way to attempt to enforce these dictatorships on others. Theocracy is nothing more than another type of dictatorship.
Mohamed said it was Ok to beat your wife, ok to kill those who disagree with you, and by his actions showed that it was Ok to have sex with a ten year old and Ok to execute boys as long as they have a single pubic hair.
No one disputes that he said and did these things. It's all written down for everyone to see. If you think these are the words and deeds of great man, you have had the wool of superstition pulled over your eyes.
It is not fair to characterize Christian-Europe as a historical bastion of free-thought while Muslim lands are oppressive. The Enlightenment that everyone likes to talk about originating in Europe came about after the defeat of Muslim forces in Spain. When the conquering European armies found libraries full of scientific, philosophical, and historical texts they had them translated from Arabic into the European languages. This is where the roots of the Enlightenment started.
I never claimed they any such thing, I merely pointed out the fact that Europeans were more accepting of the notion of separation of religious authority from political power. This is an historical fact and it still continues to this very day.
I leave it to you to figure out why they were more accepting of separation of church and state than islam has so far been. If you need a hint, re read my first post.
Regarding: "When Christianity held sway in Europe the situation was just as bad as what we now see in the islamic world. Actually it was worse."
But for whom? The Muslim or the Infidel?
"But for whom? The Muslim or the Infidel?"
For everyone of course.
You're right. Why can't these people realize the benefits of a secular government like in Cuba or North Korea.. oh wait.
Are those democracies? If not you'd better rethink your comment.
I could've sworn you were praising secular governments. I guess you were actually praising democracies?
Honestly, though, do you really believe a secular party would not try the same exact thing? History is littered with examples.
Secular democracy is as good as it gets even though it's not perfect.
My 9 year old asked recently:
"Why do the people in the Middle East like violence so much? Don't they want to do other things, like play games, and have friends?"
those who live in glass houses should not throw stones...was'nt it the christian crusaders from europe who massacared thousands of arabs in the name of religion during the crusades? Or the fact that both world wars have been fought in Europe leading to the murder of millions of people. Also, the fact that european colonialism in the middle east has lead to continium to the present day of British and US intellegence agencies maniupulating middle eastern countries and putting puppet dicators in control which in fact have lead to the massacres of countless middle eastern citizens. Violence can occur in the name of any religion, people or race!
No one is disputing that.
Be that as it may, children care not for these sort of details.
His question was simply to ask why the violence exists, continues, and why there is no end in sight to it.
My simplified explanation brought forth a simple response from him:
"Well, they should stop causing trouble, and be nice to everyone."
Again, indeed.
Actually, prior to the 7th century there were no arabs or muslims anywhere but Aabia, but then armies swept out of Arabia and killed all opposition until they reached France and Austria where they were stopped-cold. All the so-called "Crusaders came centuries AFTER the arab-muslim-Crusaders. No one asked to be invaded by the arabs or muslims. There was no history of them occupying anywhere but Arabia. Funny how they fail to mention these FACTS.
This is misleading. Most of Europe's wars for the past two centuries have not had religion as a main component [with the exception of the Balkans]. As mentioned below, Islam has also been guilty of colonialism and imperialism as well as genocide, and much more recently than Europeans.
Giving some person or group a pass because some other person or group, in the past, has done the same thing is unacceptable.
Not really a 100% accurate. Yes, Berber Muslims did conquer Spain in 7th century and came all the way up to France in 8th century ( a couple of hundred years from the 1100 crusades). But the Muslim Ottoman Turk armies reached Austria in the 15th or 16th century which was hundreds of years after the crusades. Not too mention that Ferdinand and Isabelle's inquisition during this time also murdered millions of not only Muslims but fellow Christians and Jews. But anyway you can't have an argument for who started what because we will be pointing the blame at each other ad infinitum.
that's why it's better tho accept that islam is just wrong ;-)
It would be nice if your history would not start from a period you find convenient. The Muslims , all Muslims, came out of the Arabian peninsula conquering all the lands that are adherents of Islam now. You, and any/all Muslims are a bunch of shameless hypocrites (so are the Christians). Simple as that. You complain about the Crusades, but the Crusades were nothing more than an attempt at re-conquering lost territories. They were part of the Byzantine Empire, and before that the Roman Empire. You are either ignorant or disingenuous. Yes, the Crusades were bloody; but the Muslim conquerors were just as bloody or even worse. No, there is no putting the blame ad infinitum: Islam started it all. Not admitting it makes you look either ignorant, or disingenuous. So, which one is it?... Oh, by the way, to me all, religions are a manifestation of the darker, more ignorant nature of our species; not the part that sent twelve of our men to the Moon... that was nice. Morsi & Co. are a bunch of thugs; and so are their apologists.
If we really need to go in an infinite loop cycle pointing fingers, you could point out that prior to Mohammad, Christianity was one of the most prominent religions in Arabia. I'm sure the invasion by Christians converting the pre-Islam Arabs gave them grounds to return the favour.
The reason that a 9 year old would say "Why do the people in the Middle East like violence so much? Don't they want to do other things, like play games, and have friends?"
is less to do with the state of affairs in the Middle East and more to do with how news is reported in Western press. If the only news clips that came to a population of Arabs about the US showed news highlights of school shootings and Drone assassinations of muslim religious figures, then they would develop a certain feeling about Americans (oh wait, that is how the Middle Eastern press reports on the US).
This reminds me of my Irish cousins back in the 80's. In a desperate attempt to extend the reach of NFL fandom they showed a highlight real from NFL games every week, one season. It was very popular and people wanted to see more. So the next season they showed a full game. It went over like a lead-balloon. Football is boring if you are used to watching a sport that has constant action (like Rugby or Hurling).
To abuse a quote about statistics "Newsreel highlights are like a bikini. What they reveal is enticing; what they conceal, critical".
Re: "wasn't it the christian crusaders from europe who massacared thousands of arabs in the name of religion during the crusades?"
It was "in the name of" religion, but it was really an attempt to win back Christian lands that Islam had previously conquered. In the case of Christianity and Islam, it is far more than religion that is at stake, if by religion we are talking about Jesus vs Allah; it is an entire way of life, an entire value system, and the two are extremely different.
It is one thing for a 9 year old child to ask such a question; it is quite another for the adult in the household to have a more nuanced understanding of history than "indeed" would suggest.
Re: "Islam has also been guilty of colonialism and imperialism as well as genocide, and much more recently than Europeans."
Good point.
His reply was meant to have a simple meaning, therefore suggesting a simple solution.
Why do we still, after centuries, fight over religious, racial, gender, political, etc. differences?
As "adults", we seem to only be good at creating problems for ourselves, and by doing so, hinder ourselves from finding amicable solutions.
So what if we are different? I was taught that differences are strengths, not weaknesses.
History doesn't have to repeat itself. But yet it does.
In the end, we are all no different than a bunch of bickering children, fighting in the schoolyard.
What a sick racist child you have.
Does that mean that indians in the americas have the right violently reconquere there lost lans from christianity and impose pagan rule on the population? And does that mean that the pagans of europe and the middle east who belived in zeus apollo and isis had the right to reconquere europe from christanity 500 A.D. because these lands where now dominated by christians?
That would mean a never ending mass murder and war and reconquest.
Is that what you wish?
Islamic colonialism and genocide took palce in the early middle ages latest in the 17 century and last the armenien genocide. Christian colonialism and genocide went well in to the 1960 and perhaps to the iraq war and guantanomo.
Morsi's Allegiance To Himself And Islam
"Democracy is secondary to Morsi. He's an intelligent person but when all your life your religion is your God, don't expect this man to put democracy at the top of his to do list."
Richard Michael Abraham
The REDI Foundation
Democratically the Burmeses want the Rohingyas out of their country but ethically , morally and justifiably these people deserve to stay in their rightful country. How would you reconcile ?
Unfortunately it looks like the usual history in the Middle East repeats itself. Any democratic reforms last exactly until the end of the first election, as the new incumbent quickly moves to make sure that he will not be removed from office.
Truth is that the usual fate of deposed heads of state in the region is not a big incentive for a peaceful transfer of power.
The Economist should do a "mea culpa". You've been selling us the "Arab Spring" (misnomer, if ever I saw one) as a democratic change. What rubbish.
Admit you were wrong.
Let's assess this fairly. I'll assume you're a fellow American. Our first attempt at national unity failed miserably after our revolution. It took more than a decade for our Constitution to come together.
Let's not pretend that "democracy is over" for Egypt just yet. Yes, Morsi has overreached and appears to be stylizing himself as Mubarak-lite, while buying off SCAF with promises of autonomy. But look at Tahrir: tens of thousands are coming out to defend their revolution from decay. For the first time, the opposition is coming together to repel this overreach. The revolution IS in peril, but let's not call it over just yet.
(I'll not get into Tunisia or Libya or Morocco or Jordan.)
hey , i'm from egypt and it's not only tens of thousands .. Millions take to the streets 3 times a week for the past 2 weeks , about 50,000 are camping in tahrir square 24 hours a day (literally, they brought tents and actually camping), and above all that 100% of all judges (more than 6000 judge) are on strike along with 100% of prosecutors in the country and with the nuclear war that the press and media have declared on him and the muslim brotherhood ... it's looking good :)
Good luck. The majority of us want the same freedoms we have to be felt by all. Constant pressure. United in opposition. You're fighting for the future.
Hey, Egypt has more democracy going on than the US, where 90% of the population let a survelence state take over. At least you people will stand up for yourselves.
"But look at Tahrir: tens of thousands are coming out to defend their revolution from decay. For the first time, the opposition is coming together to repel this overreach. The revolution IS in peril, but let's not call it over just yet."
It is over because Morsi will win the election. How can you demonstrate for democracy by demanding to reverse the election?
"... Millions take to the streets 3 times a week for the past 2 weeks , about 50,000 are camping in tahrir square 24 hours a day ..."
You must win the election because if you lose then you have an elected Islamic dictatorship for at least a generation.
Well Morsi won the election months ago, but maybe you're talking about the referendum? It's slated for 15 December. I hope that the opposition can congeal and won't boycott the polls, as that would, as you said, damage Egypt's prospects going forward. But it is not over, even if the referendum passes. The national strikes and growing protests will make governance more difficult, and could pressure Morsi into forgoing his new powers. But it is a dangerous time, for sure.
The issue is not just that the Economist has been wrong; the larger issue is why were they wrong? Is it possible that they,too, were accepting only one view of reality, and it turned out to have been the hopes and dreams one?
re:" it's looking good "
One wonders whether ultimately the outcome will depend upon which side is militarily stronger.
Well from you i can hear that the mubarak judges and mubarak media elite are continuing to refuse to accept the democratic majority that elected morsi and the muslim broterhod to power, because you belive you the so called liberals have a birth right to rule and will not be ruled by people from the cairo slums and the country side who elected the mb to power. This hatred of the people is why no "secular liberal" party will be elected to power in egypt for a wery wery long time.
It is a good lesson for the western idiots. You wanted democracy in the Middle East? You will get next Irans or Afghanistans.
Only coup d'etat in Mossadeq style can heal the situation in Egypt, Tunisia or Libya. Morsi should be overthrown, hanged on gallows and the new strongman, pro-western of course, appointed.
You either haven't learned from history or have learned all the wrong lessons. What did the Mossadegh coup bring us? Did we get stability? How about legitimacy Resources? Strategic benefit? To advocate for a return to an different era, when the US squandered political capital and generated enormous hostility in the region. This is not a model for behavior. Please read history more closely.
Apologies if I'm not catching the nuance, but is your comment meant to be satire?
Dont increase hostilities and invite decade long conflicts by propagating such views. Lets think of the people of Egypt and try to help them rather than propagate selfishly what suits the western countries interest.
The trouble with Arabs, wherever they are, everybody wants to be Caliph.
It is a 'meme' inculcated in their minds by their religious book.
Is there a cure? All Arab countries in the end will have to do away with presidents, prime ministers etc. Any one man band. They need to resort to the Roman constitution of Consuls - shared power. How they are elected is irrelevant, but they must jointly hold equal power, and any legislation must be agreed by both. Get away from a thousand years of 'Caliphs'. It has not done them the slightest good.
Indeed that is the solution for Syria right now. An Alahawit Consul and a Sunni Consul. Share power. It is the only way.
"The trouble with Arabs, wherever they are, everybody wants to be Caliph."
Especially Iznogoud, the Grand Vizier to the Caliph of Baghdad Haroun El Poussah, who is always angry because he wants to become Caliph instead of the Caliph" ("je veux devenir calife à la place du calife!").
Just another muslim dictator who in typical fashion used the Israelis once again to deflect attention from the mess in his country - is this news? Economist, once again, shame on you!
One should then reprimand the Israelis of giving these dictators opportunities time and again .

Hello KAENON!
I've worn other brands for years and I won't go back. These Kaenon lenses are unreal clear and unlike anything I've ever worn. If you like a metal rimless frame like the ones that Maui sells you have got to try a pair of Kaenon's. Both lenses are exceptional but if you want a bright lens try the copper C12 - AMAZING!

Rays, A's face off in series finale
With a 13-2 record at home to begin the year, including a span of 10 straight wins that was broken up by the A's in a 4-3 extra-innings loss on Saturday, Tampa Bay sits atop the American League East and has the best record in the AL.
It'll be up to starter Matt Moore to get another streak going when the Rays face the A's on Sunday in St. Petersburg for the series finale.
Looking sharp on Tuesday against the Mariners, the left-hander gave up only one run on seven hits in five innings.
Moore also struck out a season-high seven and got his first win of the season, thanks in part to a solid Rays bullpen that gave up no runs in four innings of relief.
"The five-and-dive wins don't feel as good as saving the bullpen, but they were outstanding tonight after being used quite a bit recently," Moore said after the game. "We'll take it. We're playing very well right now, so it's good."
Moore will face off against Oakland southpaw Tommy Milone, who is looking to bounce back after suffering the worst start of his young Major League career.
He gave up eight runs on eight hits in 42/3 innings to the Red Sox on Monday, including three home runs for the loss.
"I didn't feel horrible," said Milone, who threw 98 pitches while watching his ERA rise from 2.00 to 3.69. "I felt like I was making some good pitches, but a good-hitting team like that, you make a couple mistakes, and they're going to score a bunch of runs."
A's: Melvin may adjust rotation
With an off-day for the A's on Monday, manager Bob Melvin said before Saturday's game against the Rays that he plans to adjust the rotation.
With starter Tyson Ross struggling in his last two starts, tossing just 7 1/3 innings and giving up 20 hits and 16 earned runs, Melvin admitted he plans to "tinker with the rotation."
Daric Barton was in the starting lineup at first base Saturday against the Rays, while Kila Ka'aihue moved to DH. Barton finished the day 3-for-5 with a run scored.
"He's a guy we expect to pick it up and do well for us," Melvin said of Barton. "We had planned to play him today [with right-hander Jeremy Hellickson starting for the Rays] regardless."
Rays: Upton stays in two spot
Manager Joe Maddon kept B.J. Upton in the two hole for Saturday's game against the A's after he found success there Friday night.
Upton belted a pair of doubles on Friday with two RBIs while scoring a couple runs, and went 1-for-6 on Saturday.
"The quality of contact has been better," Maddon said. "The ball is coming off the bat better and that's what I've been waiting to see. He's been pulling balls down the line and he has a pretty good swing now."
Worth Noting
Joe Maddon managed his 1,000 game for the Rays on Saturday. He joined Mike Scioscia (Angels), Ron Gardenhire (Twins) and Charlie Manuel (Phillies) as the only skippers with at least 1,000 games with their current teams.
The A's have allowed 41 runs in their last seven games after yielding just 25 runs over the previous 10 contests.

Most of my lessons from my time at ASBMB are more mundane. I spent a lot of time reading about budget processes and regulatory proposals. Writing nontechnical information, with space at a premium, on a daily basis greatly has improved the quality of my writing. I also had the opportunity to benefit from the expertise of Peter Farnham, the members of ASBMB's Public Affairs Advisory Committee and our collaborators at the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology.
"Most researchers know where to find the path from graduate school to an academic postdoc or a position in industry."
Most of all, I have enjoyed bringing members of ASBMB to the Hill. As a policy staff member, I was in the unique position of being an ambassador between our member scientists, who know technical information but are not as familiar with Congress, and congressional staff, who generally do not have a technical background. I always have been struck by our members' enthusiasm and willingness to participate, and it was very rewarding to know that I had helped them get their messages across.
Every month or so, I receive an e-mail from someone looking for career advice.
Most researchers know where to find the path from graduate school to an academic postdoc or a position in industry. The path away from the bench seems murky by comparison. Job announcements request years of experience, and many of the scientists who have successfully made the jump to policy did so with the help of a highly competitive fellowship (such as ASBMB's). The first position beyond the bench — that key credential that establishes one's ability to succeed at something other than experimental science — can prove highly elusive.
I can't claim to solve this problem, but perhaps I can offer some advice on how to look for the solutions.
The science policy field encompasses a wide variety of activities. Knowing which ones interest you will influence what types of jobs you pursue.
Advocacy organizations like ASBMB work to influence policy: budgets, regulations and all of the other news we cover in this magazine. The policymakers in Congress and relevant agencies are the most prominent audience for this sort of work, but they are not the only audience; communicating directly with the people you represent is equally important. The ASBMB Hill Day covered in this issue was possible only because of the efforts of society members in each of the target districts who responded to my requests for students and postdocs who would make excellent ambassadors for science.

Does anyone know his record...?
I know Sherdog says 18-2 with his last fight the win against Arni but someones just told me he's missing up to 5 wins?... Just wondered if anyone knew.

Does anyone know his record...?
I know Sherdog says 18-2 with his last fight the win against Arni but someones just told me he's missing up to 5 wins?... Just wondered if anyone knew.
fighters should look at an event and see if it has registered results before, if it hasn't you need to get some assurance or refuse it imo
getting stupid
Ali's last fight isnt on yet!
Sherdog has quite a few missing off my record
I also agree, I'm just curious as to how many fights he has missing considering he has some good names on his resume and could potentially be looking at a bigger show and as you and I have stated previously, have no chance of convincing any commission on missing results.
I must admit I hadn't realised how hard it was to get Sherdog to update fight records until fairly recently. Tried to get my missing win updated from a few years ago. I gave all the event and opponent details and a link to the official results posted on Cage Warriors to verify but unless the actual Promoter contacts them with every detail including refs and judges etc you cant do anything. Good tip for the future but cant change the past. It is also too convenient a loop hole for some people to hide losses or those stepping back a level on the sly.
Whenever I've fought pro I've sent the event results off myself and have always managed to get them updated. Have took it upon myself to email results over for shows I've reported on too.
I didn't have to but did it just because of threads such as this where there is people missing records and stuff. I always have a copy of the results on my laptop anyway so for the sake of the two minutes it takes for me to put them in an email and send them over it's worth it.
Always found the guys at Sherdog quite helpful if you emailed them stuff but if the promoter wont play ball or isnt arsed it can be difficult, had a few from back in the day not on my record but am not really assed about it... if your looking for a career in it then you defo should be fighting on the shows that record results!
Pretty good record Ali has ammased there tho tbf
I've had mixed results with Sherdog. I've sent them results of shows where I've clearly stated I was not the promoter, and had a response in a day or two. On the other end of the scale, I've sent them results for FCC shows (from the FCC email addy) and had to chase it for months. I know ammy stuff isn't a priority, but there was always at least one pro fight clearly marked at the top and the person getting the email would have had no idea it was an ammy show until they opened the email and ready down to the results at the bottom.
That doesn't change the fact that promoters are often not living up to their responsibility to get these results recorded. A lot of is is just laziness, but I think there is definitely situation out there where a decent number of smaller promoters are simply not 'clued-up' on the Sherdog thing. I get asked quite regularly by promoters I've never even met/heard of how to get their results uploaded. There isn't even an email link on the Fight Finder main page, or the Sherdog contact page, for people to send results to. A lot of people assume that emailing them is enough, too. In my experience it often isn't, and it's not until a month or so down the line when a fighter asks the promoter why the result of their last bout isn't up there that the promoter realises nothing has been done about it.
Ultimately though, it boils down to the fact that if you're a promoter, and you care, you'll find a way to get it done.
