Hi When my laptop is unable to connect to the SKY network it automatically tries to send me to the BT Openzone network (and i assume get me to sign up!). Can i stop this from happening?
Also, can i remove all other networks from the list? I will only ever use my network in my area.

Your Laptop should list all of the Available Wireless Networks, but it shouldn't try to connect automatically to any other than your own. When you first connected to your own network (router), a 'profile' will have been saved so that future connections are automatic. If you've never connected to the BT Openzone network, and thus saved a 'profile' for it, the Laptop shouldn't try to connect to it.
Check the list of wireless networks that Windows has saved and, if necessary, delete the one for BT Openzone.

As this thread is resolved I can ask this question.
My Contract with Virgin Media may be about to be terminated shortly.
Now trying to fix my Granddaughters computer her wireless connection kept trying to go into BT Openzone.
So just posing the question is BT Openzone available for all, and what type of download speeds are we talking about,And is there a limit to how much you can use.And of course how much it costs.
Is it only open to mobile phone users or anyone.

The 65mm will fit & focus on a Graphic, on a normal board, but you will probably get the front of the focus track in the image. So drop the front bed with the standard on the rear rail, fully retracted, then focus the lens by adjusting the position of the standard, you need to be extremely careful not to use the normal focus mechanism/or take extreme care as you can strain & damage the focus tracks.
On my Wista the lens includes the front of the focus track so I use rear tilt, and front rise & tilt to get around this, again I don't need a recessed board, but many cameras do.
I don't have a centre filter but there is fall off at the corners but not enough to cause me problems with B&W, however for colour work it would be better to use one.

TAMUK hosts civil engineering conference and concrete canoe competition
CORPUS CHRISTI - Yes, concrete can float.
At least that's what college students participating in the regional American Society of Civil Engineers conference this weekend are hoping for.
The conference, hosted by Texas A&M University-Kingsville, revolves around a concrete canoe race in which students compete with vessels they built and designed themselves.
The conference, made up of more than 10 schools, set up displays of their canoes, concrete samples and posters outlining the building process in a parking lot in downtown Corpus Christi on Friday.
Schools such as the University of Texas at El Paso, University of Houston and Texas A&M University are attending.
The race will take place at 8 a.m. Saturday in Corpus Christi Marina — South Basin. But some don't last long, said Henry Fernandez, a participant from University of Texas at El Paso.
"Not all of the boats make it. That's the fun part," Fernandez said.
The canoes will be judged on appearance, structure and how they fare in the race. The top team in each regional competition will advance to nationals in June.

Buyer's Guide:
Refrigeration Basics
What is the difference between a refrigerator, a beverage cooler, and a wine cooler?
A wine cooler is set to a higher temperature range than a refrigerator or beverage cooler because wine is not stored as cold as other products. A beverage cooler and refrigerator are similar, but refrigerators often have adjustable shelves and door storage while beverage refrigerators do not, but they do often have glass fronts to display their contents. Wine and beverage coolers have wide temperature ranges so they can be interchangeable; but if you want to store both wine and beverages at the same time in the same unit, you'll want to keep in mind that the wine might be too cold or the drinks might be too warm.
What is the difference between a freestanding and a built-in unit?
A freestanding unit is meant to stand by itself or on top of counters. Built-in units (also called zero-clearances or undercounters) can be built into counters and cabinetry because of the front venting, which also causes them to be more expensive.
Can I build in a freestanding unit?
The only way you can build a freestanding unit into cabinetry is to leave 2-3 inches of space around the sides and top, as well as 3-4 inches of space in the back so that it can vent properly. If you do not leave this venting space, the inside will not be cold and your unit will overheat (and possibly break). Keep the extra space in mind when building your cabinetry or shopping for a new unit to go into existing cabinetry.
Can I use my refrigerator outside?
It is not a good idea to use a regular refrigerator in an environment that is not insulated or climate-controlled. The compressor will burn itself out running constantly, and the unit will never get cold. However, there are units specifically designed to be used outdoors. They can be more expensive, but they will perform much better than a regular indoor unit would. Look for "outdoor" in the product title to see these units.
Can I store red and white wine in the same wine cooler?
Dual zone wine coolers are specifically designed for holding red and white wines separately. Whites should be stored at lower temperatures than reds, so these units have separate sections with independently controlled thermostats to accommodate this. Some wine coolers feature three zones, so you can keep your ready-to-serve whites and reds at their appropriate temperatures (40-45º F for white and 60-65º F for red) and the middle zone keeps wines aging at their correct temperature (50-60º F). Whites and reds can both be kept in a single zone cooler if the reds are on top, since the top will be warmer than the bottom. However, this temperature difference is only 5-10 degrees, so you will end up with either white wine that is too warm or red wine that is too cold.

So far, Toyota's Hilux has proved to be indestructible, and God knows we've tried at TG.
But now the firm has decided to make our job a little easier by producing the vehicle even faster.
The one-off Hilux Sport Concept has been built for the Commercial Vehicle Show, so it's a kind of concept car for builders and plumbers.
To help them get to their next job in a jiffy, or vanish in an instant when the mains water starts sprouting from the living room floor, Toyota has equipped the Hilux Sport Concept with a 200bhp version of the 3.0-litre turbodiesel.
Not only that, the company has also tricked it out with 22-in alloy wheels, chrome and tinted glass.
Should Toyota ever make this car a reality, the chances are that only the most extortionate builders and plumbers will be able to afford it.

Background: Ultrasonographic evidence of increased carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) is known to be associated with generalized atherosclerosis. Therapeutic blockade of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors reportedly reduces carotid IMT in humans. However, there has been no head-to-head comparison of the effects of ACE inhibitor and angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), a newer type of RAS inhibitor, on carotid IMT. Methods: 57 hypertensive patients were randomly assigned to treatment with one of two antihypertensive drugs: ACE inhibitor (quinapril; n = 25, group Q) or ARB (losartan; n = 18, group L). Results: After 1 year of treatment, a similar decrease in mean blood pressure was observed in all groups. Carotid IMT was decreased significantly in group Q (10% decrease, p < 0.05) but did not change in group L. There were no significant changes in other atherosclerotic factors between these two groups. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that the antiatherosclerotic effect of quinapril is more potent than that of losartan in hypertensive patients. This effect appears unrelated to the drug's antihypertensive action or to traditional atherosclerotic factors.

Kris Kristofferson goes solo
Kris Kristofferson has long lived in the worlds of music and movies, but now he says "it wouldn't kill me" if he never acts again.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
For most of his long career, Kris Kristofferson has lived in two worlds: music and movies.
In his early years, the gifted narrative poet and songwriter emerged from Nashville's Outlaw Country movement to become one of the most beloved and credible icons of his generation.
He produced a bewildering body of work that raised the bar without straying far beyond the three-chord folk forms that were the bones of innumerable lasting masterpieces, including "Help Me Make It Through the Night," "Sunday Morning Coming Down" and "Me and Bobby McGee."
The tall, blue-eyed and indisputably handsome Kristofferson found an afterlife as a convincing romantic lead and an appealing second-stringer in movies. He racked up a list of impressive performances in Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore and A Star Is Born, among others.
It was relatively easy work and well paid, he told me once, and it allowed him to age gracefully. And it seemed a few years back that Kristofferson had lost his passion for music and the art of songwriting.
When he did record, the work was lacklustre and disorganized, and his increasingly rare musical performances were sloppy, or nostalgic, big-ticket star turns. Movies had taken over his life.
"Now it's completely the other way round," he said from his home in Los Angeles. "I'm playing music most of the time ... I don't mean to be unkind to the people I've worked with in the movie business, but it wouldn't kill me if I never did another film. I've found my way back to music and this stuff is real close to my soul. This is the happiest place I've been in my whole life."
Kristofferson's musical epiphany was sudden and startling.
During a movie shoot in Scotland in 2003, he said, he was offered a concert gig in Ireland, and "with no time to marshal the troops" – his usual retinue of sidemen – agreed to do the show solo.
"It's something I had never done," he explained. "From the very start out here in Los Angeles, I've always had at least a couple of people backing me up. ... There's always been some kind of a band. I'm a terrible guitar player and not much of a singer, so I always figured I needed help onstage."
Facing 6,000 people alone for the first time at age 67, Kristofferson had nowhere to hide, nothing to offer but the bare bones of his durable songs. "After I got past the terror I enjoyed the freedom of being able to make mistakes without causing a train wreck," he drawled.
"I'm kind of surprised other songwriters don't do it – Neil Young and Bob Dylan, for instance. I'd love to see them play solo."
Kristofferson has been performing solo for the past five years – "every chance I get" – and, now 72, he'll do it again Friday at the four-day Havelock Country Jamboree, east of Peterborough, on a massive country music bill that includes Clint Black, Travis Tritt, Glen Campbell, Earl Skruggs and Juice Newton, among others (for details, go to havelockjamboree.com).
He'll also play Saturday and Sunday at Casino Rama in Orillia.
"I'm following Johnny Cash's example. I have so many songs that people know and want to hear, I know I can work in music as much as I want; making films, you're always waiting to be asked.
"And I never get tired of these songs. Every night all the feeling, the people, the circumstances that made them happen – I feel it all. And I still get to voice my opinion about what's going on in the world."
Not that Kristofferson has ever resisted the urge to speak out. His last album, This Old Road, recorded in 2006 after an 11-year dry spell, contains some of the most pungent political commentary since the '60s heyday of the protest song.
"People don't get pissed off like they used to," he said. "I guess we're all exposed to the same information these days, so it's easier to get on the same page ..."
And he doesn't take offence when others use his songs to make the right political point, as a couple of Irish singers did on YouTube during the recent so-called election in Zimbabwe with their rewrite, "Me and Bob Mugabe," and the chorus "Freedom's just another word when there's nothing left to eat ..."
"I've never heard that," chuckled Kristofferson, who travels with his wife, Lisa Meyers, and several of their five children on his concert tours. "But as soon as my kids get home from school, I'll get them to find it on the Internet.
"When it comes to computers, I'm completely illiterate, a genuine geezer."

A woman is facing a felony theft charge after allegedly taking money from the Kwik Mart in Loyall where she worked.
Shelia Fair, 43, of Wallins, was arrested on Monday by Loyall Police Chief Mike Lunsford.
According to the complaint obtained by Darryl Robinson, Fair allowed purchases to go through at the Kwik Mart in Loyall without ringing them up.
The complaint states Fair committed the offense between March 1 and April 30.
The warrant states Fair pocketed the money from gas purchases, causing the register to be short. Fair is also accused of taking food items from the store on days that she was working at the Kwik Mart and taking money from the register.
The warrant additionally states Fair told another person how she took money from the business on the days she was working at the Kwik Mart.
Fair was charged with theft by unlawful taking and lodged in the Harlan County Detention Center on a $5,000 full cash bond.
The case is being investigated by Lunsford.

I was really nervous about calling, my son was facing 10 years for a crime. Attorney Adams took the time to speak with us, assured us that she would work hard for my son. And sure enough, she did. She was personable and a pit bull in the courtroom! I am so thankful!
The charges were dismissed!
Of course there were some fees and probation. Compared to 10 years, whose complaining?
Thank You Attorney Adams!
Posted by a Consumer Protection client
Ms Adams is knowledgable and helpful; she worked very hard on my son's case. I would recommend her to everyone. She made me feel like my family was her family.
Posted by Richard
When I first met Ms. Adams, I did not have a lot of faith in her because of her cold demeanor. But quickly my opinion of her changed when she constantly worked on my behalf and kept me informed with what was going on with my case. On the day of my trial, she was more then adequate and well rehearsed on the drilling of the prosecutor's witness. Prayerfully I will stay on the right side of the law, but if I need a lawyer in the future, Ms. Adams will definitely get a phone call from me.
Posted by Shadar
Ms. Adams did an excellent job along with her trial partner Ms. Sessoms. I find that if you let people do the work and perform their job the law will prevail. Thank you Ms. Adams for your help. Ms. Adams kept me informed of how things could go. I was very pleased with the cases that she used in her arguments before the Judge. She was able to break down how my daily physical speech and eyes are despite the Officer's testimony
Posted by Brandy
Tiffany was a wonderful lawyer! She worked very hard on my case. She traveled all the way to Henry County for me. I really appreciate the dedication that she used in clearing me of all charges. Thank you Tiffany!

American League Preview from The Sports Network
Saturday, May 10th (All times Eastern)
Minnesota Twins (16-18) at Detroit Tigers (20-11), 1:08 p.m.
Probable Starting Pitchers: Minnesota - Kyle Gibson (3-2, 3.50) Detroit - Max Scherzer (4-1, 1.72)
(SportsNetwork.com) - Max Scherzer dominated the Minnesota Twins last season. The Detroit Tigers right-hander has been on a roll of late as well.
Scherzer takes the mound Saturday afternoon when Detroit continues its three- game series against Minnesota at Comerica Park.
In 2013, Scherzer won all three of his starts versus the Twins to go with a 1.77 ERA. He's won his last four starts overall, having given up just three runs over 27 innings for a 1.00 ERA. In fact, Scherzer brings a 14-inning scoreless streak over his last two games into today. He blanked the Astros over eight frames on Sunday and on April 30 shut out the White Sox over six innings.
Over his career, Scherzer is 6-2 with a 4.42 ERA in 12 games versus the Twins.
With an 0-2 mark over his last three starts, Minnesota's Kyle Gibson is headed in the opposite direction of Scherzer. Gibson gave up just two hits over seven innings on Monday in Cleveland, but the Twins lost, 1-0 in 10 innings. This will be his first career start against Detroit. He's made six career starts against AL Central opponents, going 3-0 with a 2.55 ERA.
Last night, Kurt Suzuki hit a two-run single off Justin Verlander in the seventh inning to push Twins past the Detroit Tigers 2-1.
Phil Hughes (4-1) threw seven shutout innings to extend his winning streak to four straight starts, including two against Detroit. The right-hander struck out three and gave up eight hits without a walk.
"We battled," said Twins second baseman Brian Dozier. "Kirk Suzuki came up with a huge hit, but going up against a good lineup, what Phil did was more impressive than anything."
Verlander (4-2) lost to the Twins for the first time in more than four years, snapping a nine-decision winning streak spanning 12 starts. He allowed seven hits and two walks with five strikeouts in 114 pitches.
"It's tough to hold a team to zeroes forever. He did more than give us a chance to win," said Tigers manager Brad Ausmus. "Until the last inning it didn't seem like we were able to string a few hits together."
The Tigers split a two-game set with the Twins earlier this season, but won 11 of the 19 matchups a year ago.

Despite the fact that summer is the favorite time for most of us, yet, the heat can at times be a little annoying and challenging to keep our skin in perfect shape. Moreover, choosing the right kind of cosmetics which fit the season and beat the heat is extremely important. In short, we all are in a need of waterproof makeup. A waterproof makeup set not only keeps your makeup intact all day long but it also lets your skin breathe better in the hot summer months with its specialized ingredients. Here's a list of waterproof makeup must haves:
In waterproof makeup, primer is one of the most essential products which you need for summer season. Normally, we always ignore applying primer on skin in regular days but for summer season, in waterproof makeup, a primer is a must. At present, L'Oreal is offering a very attractive range of primers in their waterproof makeup line and you can choose the best one for your skin according to the amount of oiliness that your skin has.
Forget about the regular foundations that you use and switch to silicone based foundation in summer months. It is an excellent product in waterproof makeup line and it gives you the perfect summer glow too. In waterproof makeup, you can opt for different brands for a good quality silicone based foundation but if you want to go for the best foundation in waterproof makeup then Armani Luminous Silk foundation is the ultimate choice. For those, who want to stick to a limited budget for waterproof makeup, the silicone based foundation from CoverGirl works the best.
In summer months, a regular kohl pencil can give the eyes a messy and a smudged look which wears off quite quickly. Therefore, the best waterproof makeup for eyes is to use liquid eyeliner. It can be a little tricky to apply but once you master the trick, you will love it for all season. It looks sassy, clean and sophisticated for eyes in waterproof makeup for summer. The most recommended liquid eyeliners for summer season are from Shiseido and L'Oreal.
The hottest pick in waterproof makeup for lips has always been the lip gloss. But this summer, in waterproof makeup, a high wax lip balm is the ideal pick as it keeps the lips gloss while not making them sticky and dull. Aveda Lip tints are the favorite in waterproof makeup for lips for many ladies as it also contains SPF 15. But for a more glamorous looks with waterproof makeup for lips, try out Yves Saint Laurent Gloss sticks, they are irresistibly yummy.
Try out this ultimate waterproof makeup must haves and give yourself a lasting glamorous look this summer. These products are the definite summer best friends for the all the ladies out there.

the thought of us having a guy who can beat a goalie clean from 40 feet out with a wrist shot makes me a little giddy. i dont think we've ever had a more legit sniper, though an argument has to be made for both shanny and sanderson. they had none of semin's raw skill, but had lethal shots both. we've had some fancy pants guys, and guys like the aforementioned pair who could shoot, but never someone with such a deadly combination. ive never seen a more deadly offensive player in my time play for us. jstaal is all set to be one of our most dominating players, but he's likely to be a second fiddle next year to watching semin. how many highlight goals have we scored in the last decade? its embarrassing, especially when you watch some of the goals guys like this score against us. we've been so starved for legit talent skinner is a god on this team. now he can take a back seat a bit and learn to play without having so much pressure on him to be a stud so young.
while i struggle to believe the defense we have will take us far, other than the season when oneill and shanny were coming ive never had a true sense of anticipation before like this one. this will be fun to watch, regardless of success. we wont be boring again.
will muller give semin his wish and let him penalty kill? ive always been a fan of putting your most dangerous players out there. if you want to see a dman hesitate on the point put the guy most likely to turn him into a sportcenter highlight all over his butt instead of the guy most likely to chip it past him and change (spotlight on you, dwyer). our penalty kill has always been so generally conservative and boring. this year was an improvement that way, id love to see a guy like this get a shot. with so many top 6 forwards, let estaal play there. everyone who can scare a pp to mess up against. i loved LA doing it. your best players carrying you through all times. let the dogs out.
really looking forward to us vs tbl. barn burners. cats and dogs, living together. total chaos.

Although she's still getting to know her co-stars, Meeka Claxton, the newest cast member of "Basketball Wives," has already been deemed a troublemaker, but blame it on the editing.
"That's just not me; you know, but I can't be mad because that's what I signed up for," Meeka told New York's Power 105 radio hosts.
Meeka, who requested to be on the VH1 reality series, thought the exposure would give her a chance to show a more positive side of being a basketball wife, not the chance to step into the ring. "I really wanted to just do me, like show my business. I'm building an office out there and I tried to stay away from all that," she said referring to the drama that the hit show is known for.
Instead, Monday night's premiere introduced viewers to a Meeka who goes head-to-head with co-star Tami Roman and threw Royce Reed under the bus; although, Meeka denies trying to do that.
Meeka said the conversation she had in which she dissed Royce's outfit was started by co-stars Evelyn Lozada, Jennifer Williams and Shaunie O'Neal, the "queen bees" of the show.
"The question asked was, 'What she look like? What she had on? Did she have on them knee-high Converses?" I was like, 'No, she actually looked cute,'" Meeka explained.
This wasn't Meeka's perceived effort to try to fit in, but her way of giving everyone a chance, she said. Despite what viewers saw on TV, Meeka said Suzie has won the title of her favorite. "That's my girl… she's fun like she's so light-hearted. Nothing is a big deal to her and I love it," she said.
Although she's made at least one friend, when asked about returning for another season, Meeka paused and said it's in the air. "I really don't like what I saw in the first episode…I can only imagine what's more to come."
Watch the entire interview with Meeka below.

Google to shut down social networking service Orkut in September
Published on Jul 1, 2014 6:40 AM
SAN FRANCISCO (REUTERS) - Google will shut down its early social-networking service, Orkut, which was launched ten years ago but has failed to put Google ahead in what has become one of the Web's most popular businesses.
Google said it will shut down Orkut, which is widely used in Brazil and India but hasn't caught on more broadly, on Sept 30, to focus on its other social networking initiatives.
The company declined to say how many users Orkut has. "Over the past decade, YouTube, Blogger and Google+ have taken off, with communities springing up in every corner of the world. Because the growth of these communities has outpaced Orkut's growth, we've decided to bid Orkut farewell," Google said in a post on the Orkut blog on Monday.
Orkut was launched early in 2004, the same year that Facebook, now the world's No.1 social network with 1.28 billion users, was founded.

NORFOLK--Members of Congress have moved swiftly to restore an important benefit for military veterans.
The cost of living adjustment for veterans under the age of 62 was cut by one percent in the December budget deal. The House and Senate voted this week to restore it, and the measure now awaits the signature of President Obama.
National and local veterans organizations were quick to praise the move. But at the same time, they want more. They're concerned the bill does nothing to help new and future veterans who enlisted after January 1, 2104.
'The VFW does not feel that balancing the budget on the backs of veterans is something this country ought to do,' said retired Navy sailor and Veterans of Foreign Wars member Ken Wiseman of Norfolk. 'There is an obligation to take care of our veterans. It speaks to the soul of a nation.'
Virginia Senator Tim Kaine said he and fellow lawmakers will now wait for a report from a Congressional commission on military pay and benefits due in February, 2015.
'And I think what we will likely do is wait for that panel to come back with their recommendations and see whether they recommend a change to this or now not or whether they recommend other changes,' said Kaine. 'Then we'll be looking at a complete menue that's been thought about in a very deliberate way where stake-holders like the VFW had a chance to participate.
Kaine, along with the other five members of the Hampton Roads delegation--Mark Warner, Rob Wittman, Scott Rigell, Bobby Scott and Randy Forbes--all voted yes this week to restore the cost of living increase for current vets.

Village schools which accomodate only pupils from within that village has no reason at all to close down apart from giving the Teachers another day off!
It makes me very disappointed and angry to read some of the comments posted disparaging teachers and schools for closures. Surely if we have learnt anything about health and safety we need to look after the welfare of both pupils and teachers who often have to travel from remote places where road access may not be available.
We should take these different factors into account before pointing the finger of blame at people. I am very grateful to the Northern Echo for keeping people up to date with conditions and transport today. You're doing a great job.

Hotel Reviews
"OK hotel, could be better staffed"
Just spent 3 nights. Front desk staff is OK, breakfast is poor. They just want put out a basic meal. Hotel is decent, nothing grand. But then again you are in the middle of Cambodia so don't expect 5 stars. This is the beginning of high season, expect lots of people at the temples and the town.
Room Tip: Don't go with high exceptions, but you will have a fantastic trip to e temples and the city. Get...
"Recommended. Good hotel and good place."
Located in central Siem Reap, close to restaurants, shops and museum nacional.de Angkor. Receipt by size and decor is worthy of any 5 star hotel. The rooms are large, adequately equipped, although there are some signs of wear and tear on furniture. The staff very friendly and attentive. The hotel has a pool with a decor that evokes the nearby temples of Angkor. Spa also has a content price is one more reason to choose this hotel. Highly recommended, certainly would.
"A great hotel near a great location"
We stayed at the Sokha Angkor for 2 nights.The staff was very polite and helpful. The swimming pool is great. The air conditioning in the room worked very well. Everything in Siem Reap is within walking distance, or you can take a Tuktuk for $2. The hotel has a couple of restaurants but the service is a bit slow.
A great hotel to stay at and nothing to complain about.
"Great Hotel. from KARL TURNBULL Melbourne Aust"
This hotel was the best place to stay in Siem Reap and the entire staff can not.
do enough for you.The room was terrific,the bed was the biggest we have ever slept in and
the breakfast room and food was great and plentiful.
The staff organised for us to visit all the temples and the guide Chou Vichet was the best and
Mr Vannak the Tuk Tuk driver together,could not have been more helpful or informative.
I would recommend this hotel to everyone looking for service with a smile and the old common
friendly greeting. I am not a swimmer but my wife went for a swim in the salt water pool and she said it was great.
Room Tip: Don't go past the SOKHA ANGKORMore ⇓

Federer has big decision to make this season
I've been flooded with e-mails and text messages ever since
Roger Federer
pulled out of Stockholm, with fans wanting to know, "What's up with Roger Federer? Will he or won't he show up in Paris and Shanghai, for the year-end Tennis Masters Cup?"
Although he is playing Madrid, I can't answer that and sure hope that The Mighty Fed doesn't tell us before you read this. I think he's probably doing a lot of soul-searching and option-weighing as he relaxes and works on his game and fitness in Dubai. Should he, or shouldn't he, pull the plug on the season?
There's almost no chance that Federer can reclaim the world No. 1 ranking for the year. If there were, you can bet he'd be playing the final events of the year. But for Federer to nose ahead of
Rafael Nadal
in the year-end rankings, he will not only have to run the table for the rest of the year, he also needs for Nadal to have nothing less than an abysmal fall. In short, his destiny isn't in his own hands in any meaningful sense.
The sentimentalist in me would like to see TMF make the Herculean push in an effort to catch and edge out Nadal by Dec. 31, because I still remember the epic effort Pete Sampras put into his year-end run in 1998 -- a death march that enabled him to hold off the challenge of Marcelo Rios and finish No. 1 for a record sixth straight time. The quality of that record is obvious: A player basically has
chance in his career to finish No. 1 six or more straight years.
But the realist in me says Federer has been the year-end No. 1 for
four straight years, one fewer than Sampras had been on top in the fall of '98. So even if he overtakes Nadal, he's looking at having to finish No. 1 again in 2009 just to tie Sampras. I don't think Federer wants to (or should) look that far ahead as he plans the final stage of his career.
If Federer declines to chase the year-end top ranking, it will take a lot of pressure off Nadal. And the idea of Nadal playing for the next month with house money is bad news for his rivals. It will also allow Nadal to accumulate a bigger lead over Federer in the year-end points table (where Nadal has traditionally been far less productive than in the spring and summer), leaving him in great shape going into '09.
Depending on what Federer does, as well as
he does, he might even finish '08 ranked behind
Novak Djokovic
. That would be a psychological blow, but Federer has a strong mind.
The talking points issued by his camp have been that his glitches and hiccups this year reflected his insufficient recovery from glandular fever. The subtext is that if he does choose to bail, or mail it in after Madrid, he'll be able to embark on 2009 -- and the final push to capture the all-time Grand Slam singles title record -- refreshed and in full health.
That's a big gamble, of course. Federer is going to be losing buckets of rankings points if he calls it a year prematurely. But it's not as big a gamble as making a final push to reclaim the top ranking.

MORRISTOWN, N.J., April 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE: WPI) today confirmed that its subsidiary, Watson Laboratories, Inc. - Florida, has been sued by Abbott Laboratories and Fournier Laboratories Ireland Ltd. in connection with the filing of Watson's Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) for choline fenofibrate delayed-release capsules in the 45 mg and 135 mg strengths. Watson's ANDA is for a generic equivalent of Abbott's Trilipix® product. The suits were filed on April 27, 2010 and April 29, 2010 in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey and Southern District of Florida, respectively.
Pursuant to the Hatch-Waxman Act, Watson previously notified Abbott and Fournier that Watson's ANDA contains a paragraph IV certification asserting that U.S. Patent No. 7,259,186 is invalid, unenforceable and /or will not be infringed by the commercial manufacture, use or sale of the drug products described in Watson's ANDA. Abbott and Fournier's suit was filed under the provisions of the Hatch-Waxman Act, resulting in a stay of final FDA approval of Watson's ANDA for up to 30 months or until final resolution of the matter before the court, whichever occurs sooner.
Trilipix® (choline fenofibrate) delayed-release capsules are indicated for the treatment of high triglyceride and cholesterol levels. For the twelve months ending February 2010, Trilipix® had total U.S. sales of approximately $161 million according to IMS Health da

Stepping up his campaign to win over public opinion on his healthcare reform proposal, U.S. President, Barack Obama, today said a national consensus on the matter was possible, even as he faced resistance from opposition Republicans as well as his own party on the controversial issue.
"I am confident that when all is said and done, we can forge the consensus we need to achieve this goal," Mr. Obama wrote in an op-ed piece in The New York Times.
"We are already closer to achieving health-insurance reform than we have ever been," he said.
Yesterday Mr. Obama said that his efforts to reform U.S. healthcare system have meaning to him personally. "I just lost my grandmother last year. I know what it's like to watch somebody you love, who's ageing, deteriorate and have to struggle with that," he said.
Terming healthcare reform a "complicated and critical issue" Mr. Obama wrote: "Some people are in favour of reform, and others have concerns. But almost everyone understands that something must be done." He said the American Nurses Association and the American Medical Association also supported the proposal and there was broad agreement in Congress on about 80 per cent of what they were trying to do.
The U.S. President warned that in the coming weeks, "cynics and the naysayers" will continue to try to undermine his reform proposals. "But for all the scare tactics out there, what's truly scary — truly risky — is the prospect of doing nothing," he said, adding: "If we maintain the status quo, we will continue to see 14,000 Americans lose their health insurance every day." Reforming the health care system was one of his key campaign promises. His goal is to ensure health care for everyone in a country with the world's costliest system and an estimated 48 million uninsured people. But lawmakers are worried about the cost of such reform.

Crystal Palace caretaker boss Keith Millen believes Tony Pulis would be a good choice for the top job.
Millen agreed with the view that an "experienced" Premier League campaigner is needed to save the south Londoners from relegation.
"I think a new manager coming in will lay down his rules," said Millen. "And if the new group doesn't buy into what he's saying, then as a new manager, you move them aside.
"I think experience will be important.
"I know Tony. He knows a good player.... because he signed me for Bristol City!
"He knows how to win matches in the Premier League. He reminds me of Sam Allardyce – he knows what teams to put out to win with not necessarily the best of the group of players in the league. And he is very honest and hard-working."
