At what point will the physical grind of all the tennis Rafael Nadal has played catch up to him?
1. Roger Federer uh, he's good: Fresh (remarkably fresh) off his victory over Rafael Nadal in Madrid, the world No. 2 needed 1 hour, 43 minutes to dispatch Alberto Martin of Spain 6-4, 6-3, 6-2.
Federer was reminded afterward that the last time he played on Court Philippe Chatrier was nearly a year ago -- when he scored only four games off Rafael Nadal.
"I didn't even think about last year's match because I was so much concentrated," Federer said. "I didn't want to lose my first match. Maybe you wouldn't believe me, but now that you [ask] it, I realize that was true."
2. It's getting' hot in here: For the second straight day, temperatures soared past 80 degrees at Roland Garros, making conditions feel more like the Australian Open. Against all cultural odds, the red wine served in the media cafeteria at Suzanne Lenglen seemed to be the second choice on Monday -- behind Carlsberg beer.
3. Roland Garros, like TNT, knows drama: Stanislas Wawrinka, Federer's doubles partner, went five nasty sets with Nicolas Devilder for 3 hours, 59 minutes -- and lived to tell about it.
"Having a red nose afterwards? Well, trust me, I know if I play for four hours in the sun, I know that I walk out with a red nose -- whether I put on some sunscreen, or not. It's not a big problem. I'm used to it."
4. The glass, for Europeans at least, is half full: When Kirsten Flipkens (sunglasses) met Stephanie Foretz (prescription glasses) in the first round they were both wearing stylish eyewear. Maybe they were just coming back from the Cannes Film Festival.
5. Land of the midnight sun: It's light really late over here. Vera Dushevina and Caroline Wozniacki were out on Chatrier, banging balls past 9 p.m. local time. Wozniacki, who is still only 18, must have been up after her bedtime. Dushevina won the first set and Wozniacki didn't look like she wanted to be there. They'll play a deciding third set on Tuesday.Greg Garber is a senior writer for ESPN.com.
A year ago, Maria Sharapova stepped onto the grounds here at Roland Garros as the No. 1-ranked player in the world with every expectation of winning.
On Monday, after a nine-month layoff due to an injured right shoulder, she was the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour's No. 102-ranked player.
"I don't really have expectations, to be honest," Sharapova said. "I think this is the first time in my career where I can say I don't have any expectations.
"I don't know how things are going to work out."
Her 3-6, 6-1, 6-2 first-round victory over Anastasiya Yakimova, Sharapova fell well short of offering any definitive answers.
"I started pretty lousy," Sharapova said of her nearly two-hour match. "She made me hit a lot of balls. I was just a little sloppy."
But after the wakeup call that was the first set, Sharapova rallied famously. Her surgically repaired shoulder held up, even if her serving motion looks a little different.
"I did have an opportunity to have a normal life, and I think when you're traveling 11 months out of the year, always on the go, you never have the time to settle down and appreciate the little things," she said.
"You sit back and you miss it, you want to be out there -- who doesn't? It's from the hour in the locker room and putting on your dress, to the 15 minutes before your match where you're warming up and you're pumping yourself up and you're going to get out there in front of 20,00 people. You miss that.
"I certainly missed that."
--Greg Garber
Few would have given 19-year-old Californian Alexa Glatch much of a chance against Italy's 14th-seeded Flavia Pennetta, who reached the fourth round at Roland Garros last year. The match was indeed swift, but Glatch played the role of the windshield rather than the bug, crushing Pennetta 6-1, 6-1 in -- aptly -- 61 minutes. Pennetta was hampered by a strained groin muscle suffered in Madrid, but the young American's composure and performance were still impressive in her first Grand Slam appearance outside the U.S. Open.
Glatch's promising career was derailed in 2005 when injuries suffered in a motor scooter accident sidelined her for eight months, but she said she's stronger than she was before. She backed that up last month, carrying the U.S. Fed Cup team on her shoulders by winning both her singles matches against the Czech Republic and propelling the Americans into this fall's final against none other than Italy.
"I just kind of learned that I can play with these players and I can beat these players out here,'' said the rangy, 6-foot-tall Glatch of her Fed Cup experience. "[The upcoming final] was a little extra incentive. When I saw the draw come out. I got a little more excited than I do normally.''
Glatch's clay-court preparation was interrupted by the Fed Cup trip (the host Czechs elected to play on indoor hard court), and she was 4-3 on the surface this season coming into Roland Garros. This is her first victory on European clay. Spain's Lourdes Dominguez Lino awaits her in the second round.
Fed Cup captain Mary Joe Fernandez has said she will try to persuade the Williams sisters to play in the final, but Glatch, ranked 116th, made a statement by beating Italy's top player on the surface where the championship will almost certainly be played.
--Bonnie D. Ford
Dinara Safina was feeling pretty good Monday after her first-round match with Anne Keothavong. But her coach, Zeljko Krajan, was unhappy. Worse, actually.
"When I pushed a few shots, he was angry," Safina said. "I guess I could serve a little better and, I don't know, hitting balls a little harder.
"I'm going to go and hit some balls."
This after Safina's 6-0, 6-0 double-bageling of Keothavong -- the first British woman to penetrate top-50 airspace in 16 years. What would the punishment have been if she had lost a game?
"After I shake her hand, she said, 'At least you could give me one game,'" Safina said. "I could imagine it's not nice to feel on the court."
It's been a while since Safina felt anything less than stellar on the court. In the last year, the 23-year-old Russian has reached 12 of 20 finals. Since she rose to the No. 1 ranking last month, Safina has won 14 of 15 matches on clay, including the two major French Open warm-ups in Rome and Madrid.
That makes her the favorite.
"Actually," she said, "I'm not really paying attention to what people are saying. I play my game, day to day, match to match, and how far I get, God knows."
--Greg Garber
Larcher de Brito
Sixteen-year-old Michelle Larcher de Brito proved she deserved her shot at prime time Monday, overcoming a first-set whitewash to defeat Great Britain's Melanie South, 0-6, 7-6 (5), 7-5. It was the second consecutive death-defying comeback for the Portuguese teen, who has trained at the Bollettieri Academy in Bradenton, Fla., since she was 9 years old. She marched back from an 0-6, 0-3 deficit in her final qualifying match here to earn her first berth in a Grand Slam main draw. Larcher de Brito will want to avoid digging that kind of hole against her second-round opponent, 15th seed Jie Zheng of China. After playing exclusively on clay as a youngster, Larcher de Brito, currently No. 132 in the WTA rankings, said she lost her feel for the surface during her first four or five years in the United States as she trained on hard court. She went winless on clay last year but said she is "starting to understand it better as I get older.''

Reporting period
1st October 2010 – 30th September 2011
Change in Emissions
Our reported scope 1 & 2 emissions have decreased this year against the previous year by 7% in absolute terms, in main due to the completion of the move to our more efficient buildings in Birmingham and London in 2010. In particular, we significantly reduced our demand for electricity by 12% which helped to offset the increased demand for gas to heat our buildings during the '100 year winter' around December 2010. As a result of our ongoing efficiency investment programme in our buildings, we continue to reduce our overall energy demand on both a gross and like for like basis.
Our scope 3 emissions have increased this year against the previous year. With business activity recovering, we have seen a returning increase in our need for travel which also reflects an increasingly international client base. A key challenge is increased demand for particularly client-related business travel by air (15%), with car travel related emissions continuing to decline (-4%). Approach
We have followed the Government's Guidance on how to measure and report greenhouse gas emissions as per Defra/ DECC's 2010 Guidance on how to measure and report your greenhouse gas emissions.
The total direct GHG conversion factors as provided by Defra are applied, using the most recent set of conversion factors as available prior to the start of the reporting period. For our 2010/11 GHG data set, Defra 2010 conversion factors are applied.
Organisational boundary
We have used the operational control approach and the boundaries of our reported emissions are those of KPMG LLP which operates within the United Kingdom, defined here to include England, Wales and Scotland and excluding Northern Ireland and Channel Islands (report separately). Operational scopes
We set annual greenhouse gas reduction targets against prior year for the UK, which support our longer-term Global GHG emission reduction target. We have successfully completed the first phase of our Global carbon reduction target where we achieved a 29% reduction against a 25% targeted reduction per head on a net basis by 2010 against 2007 baseline. Our new Global target is a further 15% reduction by 2015 against a 2010 baseline on the same basis. Our base year recalculation policy is to recalculate the prior year emissions where:
Any such changes would be detailed in supporting notes. Assurance Statement
At KPMG in the UK we do not offset our carbon emissions, as we are committed to achieving reductions in our carbon footprint through further efficiency gains as part of our commitment to continuous improvement of our environmental impacts. Green tariffs
Since 1st November 2008, at least 95% of the electricity the UK firm buys is obtained from 100% renewable sources including wind, solar, tidal, wave and biomass. The remaining 5% comes from cleaner, low carbon sources and certified CHP sources and all of it is accredited by OFGEM. Each unit of green electricity is backed by a Levy Exempt Certificate (LEC) which acts as evidence that the supply is from accredited renewable sources.
However, this electricity does not meet the current UK Government definition of green tariff and we have calculated our emissions for electricity using the national grid average conversion factor as provided by UK Government. This is an area kept under regular review.

@sharjohn - have a look here:
Followed the directions, seemed to work ok. By that I mean it installed HB, boot2 and dvdx. Where and how do I now go to try to run a backup copy of a game that I own and burned? I don't see how to get to a menu offering the dvd player? If there is a guide that I missed, just direct me there and not spend a lot of time on an answer.
Thanks, got lots of reading to do. But I have another question. Having tried to load Homebrew before, it seems I succeeded. I have the channel as well as a dump channel. Do I need to bring my Wii to a virgin 4.1U status before I give your directions a go? And... do some of the channels remain on the Wii if I reformatt the sd card?
What does installing the homebrew channel actually do to my Wii? Does this mean I can no longer accept Nintendo firmware updates?
Can I play burned games or ISOs off of the SD card? Sorry for the noob questions but I've been reading for a while and it is a lot to take in.
thx alot guys
QUOTED pearltrade
What does installing the homebrew channel (hbc) actually do to my Wii?
--hbc is the platform 4u 2expand the applications with ur Wii
--hbc won't eat up ur Wii's memory, just a channel. don't panic ....lol
--many homebrew softwares are available today
Does this mean I can no longer accept Nintendo firmware updates?
--not stopping u fm accepting any gifts (good or evil), updates fm Ninty
--the updating of hbc and of Wii firmware are of different acts
Can I play burned games or ISOs off of the SD card?
--can be, if u learn well to burn ISO, to manage update, to make good use of hbc, to install ios/cios,
--rather than a 32GB SDcard (max 4Wii), turn ur head to a usb_hdd (e.g. 80~500GB) and think of USB_Loader.

OMG this was so easy, thanks so much, now to figure out how to get he hd to work

but now the blue lights aren't gone and im getting pissed off any ideas
Flawless tutorial, I'm a total noob and had no trouble installing the HBC. Thanks!!!

Imports grew 7.4% to $5.14B in April, says NSO
The country's imports grew in April from a year ago, reversing the decline seen in the three previous months and fueling hopes local industries would ramp up output over the short term.
Merchandise imports amounted to $5.14 billion in April, up by 7.4 percent from $4.79 billion in the same month last year, the National Statistics Office reported Tuesday.
This brought the total imports for the first four months of the year to $19.5 billion, still down by about 4 percent from $20.3 billion in the same period last year.
The imports data for April resulted in a trade deficit for the month of $1.02 billion. Exports for April were earlier reported at $4.12 billion.
Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Arsenio Balisacan said an encouraging detail in the imports report for April was that capital goods imports grew by nearly 20 percent.
This indicated that some firms, led by those in the transport and power sectors, are poised to boost production in anticipation of growing orders from local and foreign buyers.
"Imports of capital goods increased significantly. This sends a good signal on what economic prospects would be like," Balisacan told reporters yesterday on the sidelines of a World Bank-organized forum on climate change.
Data from the NSO showed that capital goods, which accounted for 28.5 percent of the total import bill for April, rose year-on-year by 19.7 percent to $1.47 billion.
"Robust investments in the power and transportation sectors drove overseas purchases to a solid recovery in April," Balisacan said.
However, imports of raw materials and intermediate goods fell by about 9 percent to $1.74 billion.
Mineral fuels and lubricants rose by 21.4 percent to $1.28 billion.
Consumer goods rose by 11.4 percent to $613.17 million, reflecting expectations among firms that demand from domestic households will continue to grow in the coming months amid a generally favorable outlook for the Philippine economy.
Balisacan, who is also director general of the National Economic and Development Authority, said the increase in importation of consumer goods substantiated an earlier report by the central bank on improving consumer confidence in the country.

A few days after Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray expressed satisfaction at the way BMC de-silting works were progressing, the Congress on Monday dubbed the statement false.
The main opposition party in the BMC said contrary to Thackeray's claims, Mumbaikars were set to witness flooding during the monsoon as only 10 per cent of the de-silting work had been completed.
According to Laxman Vhatkar, the BMC director for engineer services and projects, 95% of the work has been completed.
Devendra Amberkar, the opposition leader and Congress corporator, speaking to reporters after visiting nullahs in the island city and eastern suburbs, trained guns on the saffron party and municipal administration for allegedly fooling the public. "Sena leaders have misled Uddhavji. He was taken to only those stretches that were clean. He has no idea what a shoddy job BMC has done. Work has been carried out only in accessible areas, and inaccessible spots have largely been ignored," Amberkar said.
The Andheri corporator visited Rafique Nagar (Govandi); Subhash Nagar, Chheda Nagar and Mukund Nagar (Chembur); Somaiya (Tilak Nagar) and Shanti Nagar nullahs in Wadala.
"It's not just about accumulation of refuse. In some areas like Kadariya nullah in Chembur, shanties have come up. Sandhya Nandedkar, the assistant municipal commissioner of that ward, failed to give a satisfactory reply on this. It's obvious that people are being fooled and tax payers' money has gone down the drain," Amberkar alleged.
However, Sunil Prabhu, the mayor and Sena corporator, ridiculed Amberkar's remarks. "If he has found that nullahs haven't been cleaned, he should bring that to the notice of the officials concerned. The job would then be done. He too is a trustee of the corporation and it's the duty of each of us to get works done," Prabhu said.

Cute toy but supervise
posted 7 years ago
This toy is unique. You pull the pets tail and it starts to walk. My pup gets such a kick out of this and has chewed one of its ears off. Not that durable as it was not originally designed for pets- however feel free to make it your pets next favorite toy- just supervise them to keep the durability.
Pros: interesting toy
Cons: durability

Originally written on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 11/10/14
Ramblings from Henry and Fayette Streets The Week That Was: June 11th – June 17th The news from this past week that had the biggest impact on the Binghamton Mets occurred in the transaction column and not the stats column. By weeks end, two of the B-Mets top players had finally found their way to Buffalo and the AAA Bisons. First, it was center fielder Matt den Dekker who led the B-Mets in almost every statistical category for batters. Then, on Sunday, Collin McHugh became the first B-Mets starter to get the call to the Herd (but will more than likely not be the last to make that transition). It remains to be seen what impact McHugh's departure will have on the starting rotation for Binghamton, although an argument can be made that Den Dekker no longer appearing in the leadoff spot for the B-Mets will alter the lineup – and specifically run production – for sure. In the first two games without den Dekker in his usual spot, the B-Mets were only able to scratch out one run l...

What start-ups need to consider? Where to get access to information? What events they can consider to attend?
The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) is a complex reporting and withholding regime enacted with a goal of achieving greater tax transparency by enforcing disclosure by certain non-US entities of US persons' offshore accounts, investments, and income. FATCA generally imposes a 30 percent withholding tax as a penalty on certain US source payments (e.g., dividends and interest) received by certain non-US entities after 30 June 2014 if disclosure and other requirements are not satisfied by such non-US payees.
The FATCA regime classifies non-US entities under two broad categories: "Foreign Financial Institutions" (FFIs) and "Non-Foreign Financial Entities" (NFFEs). The definition of an FFI is very broad and captures most funds. As such, a fund and certain non-US entities in its affiliated group (e.g., the fund's general partner and the fund's manager) may be classified as FFIs. Each FFI in a fund's affiliated group generally will be required to register with the IRS by 25 April 2014. Certain key action steps are required for funds to be compliant with FATCA.
