Montanes Overcomes Simon; Garcia-Lopez Beats Stepanek
Stuttgart, Germany
by ATP Staff|
Defending champion Albert Montanes of Spain overcame fourth-seeded Frenchman Gilles Simon 4-6, 7-6(5), 6-2 in his first-round match Monday at the MercedesCup in Stuttgart. Simon lost his final three service games, managing to win 45 per cent of his points on serve in the decisive set, as Montanes secured the win in just under two hours.
The two players, who were facing off for the fifth time on clay, first met six years ago in the Stuttgart first round, a match won by Simon in three sets.

Montanes, 30, defeated Gael Monfils in last year's Stuttgart final to claim his fifth ATP World Tour title. The World No. 41 could reach the 200-match wins milestone by successfully defending his title this week, and currently holds a 196-209 record.
Eighth seed Guillermo Garcia-Lopez avenged his 2009 Barcelona loss to Radek Stepanek, a 32-year-old Czech, with a comprehensive 6-1, 6-3 win in 76 minutes. Stepanek failed to convert any of his four break point opportunities and drops to a 15-15 match record on the season.
Ukrainian Sergiy Stakhovsky required two hours and 41 minutes to beat Jaroslav Pospisil 4-6, 6-2, 7-6(5) for his 19th victory of the year. The World No. 45 hit eight aces and won 73 per cent of service points. Pospisil, 30, hit nine double faults and has an 0-4 record this year.
Evgeny Donskoy, Victor Crivoi, Federico del Bonis and Pavol Cervenak all qualified for the main draw on Monday.

"An artist is a chameleon - colorful, diverse and subliminal."
A meme, or idea, is a living organism. It has the capacity to change, apply and adapt quickly. I infuse my work with imagination and fluidity that reflects my environment and mood. Every painting is an observation in change within a manner of appearance and material, execution and subject matter. The artist can explore this change in politics, theology and idiosyncratic imagery thus building a dialogue between the artist and the viewer, leading them to his or her own interpretations, and giving them a unique and personal experience. The universe is constantly changing and so the individual and their work should as well.
I work in various mediums but oil and acrylic painting are magnetic. Much of my influence is derived from both traditional and modern artists such as Egon Schiele, H. Bosch, Goya, De Es, Francis Bacon and Kent Williams.

Bleeding from pruning cuts can be unsightly but is usually not harmful, and will naturally heal over time. In rare cases, prolonged bleeding may lead to loss of vigour and even death of the tree or shrub. We no longer recommend binding, wrapping or painting pruning cuts, the best thing is to let them heal naturally. Pruning at the correct time will minimise bleeding as well.
Bleeding is when sap leaks from a wound or pruning cut on a tree, shrub or woody climber. Sometimes this may be a gentle seeping, other times a copious flow.
You may notice sap oozing from the wound directly after pruning, or you may simply notice staining some time later where the sap has flowed down and wetted the bark.
Bleeding occurs due to the pressure of sap within the tissues that conduct water and sugars around the plant.
Normally, the sap of deciduous plants falls in autumn to early winter, as the plants lose their leaves and become dormant. Many deciduous trees and shrubs are best pruned while dormant and bleeding is minimised at this time.
In late winter to early spring, the sap starts to rise again, delivering water and sugar to the new leaf buds as they swell in readiness for spring. The sap of some trees and shrubs, such as grape vines, birch and walnut trees, begins to rise very early. These plants are particularly vulnerable to bleeding if pruned in mid- to late winter or early spring, as the rising sap spills out from the pruning cut.
There is no practical method for stopping the flow of sap from a bleeding wound, and in most cases, this bleeding is completely harmless. Binding and wrapping the cut is not recommended, as it is better to allow air to reach the wound and let it heal naturally. Wrapping or binding can cause dampness and lack of ventilation, encouraging the development of fungal diseases. We no longer recommend painting pruning cuts with wound paints (such as Arbrex), as this too may trap moisture and promote fungal infection.
Instead, gardeners are advised to check the recommended times for pruning particular trees, shrubs and climbers. This should minimise bleeding.
The following plants are particularly prone to bleeding, so pruning at the correct time will help prevent it.
Acer (maple): Prune Japanese maples (A. palmatum and A. japonicum) after leaf fall but before January; prune snakebark maples (e.g. A. davidii, A. pensylvanicum, A. rufinerve) in late summer.Betula (birch): Avoid any pruning if possible; otherwise prune late summer to mid-winter. Carpinus (hornbeam): Prune late summer to mid-winter. Carya (pecan and hickory): Prune in autumn or early winter. Juglans (walnut): Prune mid-summer, before mid-winter. Laburnum: Prune late summer, before mid-winter. Magnolia (deciduous, spring-flowering types only): Prune early to mid-summer. Morus (mulberry): Prune from autumn to early winter. Populus (poplar): Prune late summer or early autumn, except for P. x candicans and its cultivars, which can be pruned in late winter and do not usually bleed. Sophora: Prune in summer. Tilia (lime): Prune mid-summer to mid-winter. Vitis (grape vine – edible and ornamental types): Prune after leaf fall but before Christmas to be safe.

When planning your trip to Ocean City, MD it seems that everyone and their brother has an opinion about which event is best to check out, what hotel you should rest your head in, or where you should grab your Happy Hour drink. However, one thing many of you may not have heard about is an amazing group of individuals who can say without a doubt that they are the experts on Ocean City, MD. Who is this group you may ask?! None other than our own OC Insiders!
Last year a friendly face checked into my hotel, The Holiday Inn Hotel and Suites, her name was Darlene (aka Momoo on TripAdvisor and Z06RL on the oceancity.com forums). I knew I recognized her name, but it was not until she told me she was an OC Insider that all the bells and whistles went off in my head. Oh MAN! I better mind my p's and q's and get this lady a chocolate strawberry tray immediately, this is exactly who we need to write about OUR hotel. Everyone will listen!
Darlene is probably laughing right now and wondering where in the World that strawberry tray disappeared to. In reality, she has become a sweet friend and I truly enjoy her following on the Holiday Inn Suite's Facebook page. She was my inspiration for writing about the OC Insiders, in the first place.

Tucked away next to the bus station on the corner of South Division and Baltimore Ave, Henry's Hotel was built in 1895 in a time when Ocean City was deeply segregated.

Instead they stayed at Henry's Hotel. ...read more

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Kaemae Winner! The previous viewer described the "navy" well, its pretty much black. The fit is amazing, super sexy and fun! I am 5'2", 100lbs and got the XS. It is truly a stunning dress! I included a picture, but its sideways with no way to change it. See my style pic in "fp me" soon... 8.6.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by madddonkey different from the image, but still perfect I got this dress in the store in the eggplant color. All they had in stock was this color in an extra-small, and it turned out to be perfect. I usually wear a small (5'4", 120 lb), but the extra-small fit very well, not too tight at all. The color is true to what is pictured (a purpley maroon). The only thing that is different is some of the lace detailing. The lace along the waist, neckline, arm openings, and bottom of the dress is a smaller, crochet like pattern, not the big floral lace pictured. I like this better though, because the skin showing through makes it look like beading. I loooove it. Couldn't be happier with the purchase. 8.7.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Jessica_C Sexy and cute So I noticed how each picture of this dress is a little different, but IRL the dress looks like what's depicted in the pictures of the ivory version. I bought the navy blue, which is very dark, looks black indoors but slightly blue in the sun, it's lined with a very light cream fabric, there's a break in the lining under the bust. Definitely an off shoulder dress and the back lace is see through-no lining on the upper back part. IMO runs true to size, and the fabric has some stretch to it so you'll be fine if you order your regular size. 8.4.2014
Rated 2 out of 5Â by thenumber35 Disappointing. I wanted to love this. In fact, I purchased it the day they put it online. Once it came I was very disappointed. First, the color has a more yellow tone in person-- not the creamy white pictured. I could get over that, except the fit is off. They must have sized the model down, because it didn't fit as pictured. At all. I am 5'9/125 lb. and could have grabbed extra material around the waist and especially the back. The real problem I had, though, was that the sheer material along the bustline starts right at the nipple. I was afraid to move, otherwise people would see more than I wanted. Plus side: the dress is stretchy, so it would be comfortable if it fit. 8.7.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by TigerShopper very pretty I got this dress in all three colors. Eggplant was the one I liked the best on line. However, on me it looked the worse and I will be returning it - I have medium brown hair and fair skin and this color just does not do anything for me.. I am keeping the white and the black. Both of them look very complimentary on me. Now for the fit: I am 5 21/2, 115lb, slender, but have a little bit of curves. I am normally XS in Free People, and XS in this dress fits almost perfect. On me, the dress is slightly longer than pictured on the model, but I do not mind, as I might be able to wear it to work. Highly recommend this dress!!! 10.17.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by olyasimonova Perfect Beautiful dress, although it slides up a bit more than I'd like when I lift my arms. I'm a 5'10'' and about 115lbs and the XS fits wonderfully. I would say that this is one of the best impulse buys I've made in a while. BTW, it really is a black, not navy. 10.9.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by GellBell Beautifully Different! I'm a regular shopper of fp and I know how essential it is to see reviews before buying. I bought the dress in a size S in the eggplant colour and wasn't disappointed! Although the colour is more of a dark purple than the dark red in the photo- its close enough! I'm 5'2 and 135 lbs and in any other store would buy in M but always buy S in fp as they are usually baggy or stretchy. Although the only photos up are of "less curvy figures" I'm pleased to say the dress is just as flattering on a fuller body as it is on the models. p.s. every part of the dress is stretchy. Definitely glad I bought it!! 9.25.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by ameliawatson78 finaly a dress that fits short skinny girls! I tried this on in the store and loved it. they didn't have the color I wanted so I ordered it online. I'm 5'2" and the xs fit perfect. the length was great and the fit threw the waist was very flattering. I'm a 32 b so the chest was a little roomy but if you put something like a bleck romper under it you could get away with wearing a bra under it. cant wait to get this in the mail 9.21.2014

Former NAACP head joins tech venture capital firm
Wednesday - 3/5/2014, 12:54pm EST
AP National Writer
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) -- Just months after stepping down as head of the nation's largest civil rights organization, former NAACP President Benjamin Jealous is changing his career from an East Coast political activist to a West Coast venture capitalist, a switch he hopes will help further his goal of growing opportunities for blacks and Latinos in the booming tech economy.
"My life's mission has been leveling the playing field and closing gaps in opportunity and success," Jealous, 41, told The Associated Press before Tuesday's announcement. "I'm excited about trying a different approach."
The Northern California native and self-confessed computer geek will be joining entrepreneurs Mitchell Kapor and Freada Kapor Klein at their venture capital investment firm that backs information technology startups committed to making a positive social impact.
Fred Turner, who studies culture and technology as an associate professor at Stanford University, said it's "fascinating that a person of his caliber and experience would move into this space."
Turner said there's a deep question going on in the U.S. about how to accomplish positive social change.
"In the Silicon Valley they approach it entrepreneurially, in Washington they approach it politically," Turner said. "These are two very different modes."
Jealous said he and his family will remain in Silver Spring, Md., but he'll commute to the West Coast about once a month.
Jealous, who was widely credited with improving the NAACP's finances, donor base and outreach, said he will never completely drop out of politics.
"It's in my DNA," he said.
He declined to specify his new salary but said it was about the same as it was at the NAACP -- $285,000 in 2011, according to tax forms.
When he announced his departure from the organization in September 2013, Jealous said he planned to pursue university teaching and spend time with his young family. But Jealous says the opportunity to work with Kapor Capital was just too tempting, putting him on the cutting edge of helping people who are slipping further behind as the national economy grows.
The divide is greater in the Silicon Valley than the rest of the country. Blacks and Latinos, already earning about half as much as whites and Asians, saw per capita income drop 5 percent for blacks in the past two years, and 2 percent for Latinos, according to an annual Silicon Valley Index.
The disparity is clear when it comes to jobs as well. Just 4 percent of the nation's 1.1 million software developers are black, and 5 percent are Latino, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
"The Silicon Valley holds itself up as a meritocracy, but it's actually embarrassingly un-diverse," said Freada Kapor Klein. "We expect Ben is going to help us change that."
Kapor Capital's portfolio currently has 46 percent of its investments in firms with founders who are women and people of color from an underrepresented background.
Mitch Kapor said Jealous' ability and understanding about how to make a social impact will be a huge asset to the firm's investment goals.
Kapor said he looks for companies that are "closing gaps of access and opportunity for underserved communities or involve a disruptive democratization of a sector."
These include Pigeon.ly, a startup that offers low-cost phone and photo sharing for prisoners and their families outside, and Regalii, an international remittance platform that helps immigrants send money to their families in Latin America.
Silicon Valley Community Foundation President Emmett Carson said the region attracts great talent, and Jealous "will blend human rights and entrepreneurship in an effective way."
Jealous grew up in Pacific Grove, about 100 miles from the Silicon Valley, during the pivotal years when personal computing was just starting to gain traction. He was captivated and chose a long commute, on foot and by bus, to attend a magnet school for computer science.
For his new job, Jealous said he's going to be getting a crash course in technology, investing and even software coding.
"I'm going to have a computer coding tutor for the first time since I was in fifth grade," he said.

April Fools' day is widely known as one of the biggest days for people who love to prank. Hence, any major event transpiring on the day is viewed with suspicion at best and Google's 'Gmail Shelfie' prank was a major proof of that.
A Google blog post by Greg Bullock, Software Engineer, says, "You all love setting selfies as your custom theme in Gmail, but you've told us there's one major problem: there isn't a way to share your selfie with others."
"As the pioneering platform for selfies, Gmail is committed to being at the forefront of innovation in the selfie space. And we think it's a tragedy that your handsome hair, luscious lashes and beautiful brows have been trapped in your own inbox. Until now, that is. Today, we're proud to free your selfies by launching Gmail Shelfie, the SHareable sELFIE. "
Along with Google, over the years, major biggies like YouTube, Sony and The Guardian have been trolling people and adding zest to people's lives with some funny, shocking and out of the box April fools pranks.
Have a dekko (look) and share some of your own pranks in the comments section with dna:
As per the prank, the initial goal of YouTube was to find the best video ever created. YouTube announced that the site would be shutting down for 10 years to begin the process of selecting the winner and would go back online to feature the winner. People were shocked over the announcement.
Similarly, YouTube announced that they would be offering delivery of all YouTube videos ever in DVD form. These would be organized by genres and users could utilise all of YouTube's features including resolution adjustment while viewing the videos.
Sony - VAIO Q Series
Sony trolled public by announcing introduction of the lightest, most compact device ever made with the VAIO Q Ultrabook.
Google's a champ at pranks and as Google shows in this video, they have highly capable 'auto-completers' for every mistake and query in the World. Definitely, we say!
Google Treasure Map
In 2012, Google announced that they found treasure maps with encrypted symbols and codes and said that they were going to release the map to the world so their users could help the Google team crack the code and find the long lost treasure.
Google Nose
This is definitely the best of there lot. Google Nose Beta was created to continue to provide Google users with exactly what they're looking for via the nose.
On the basis of "mobile aroma indexing program," Google Nose promised to connect search with smells.
Gmail Blue
Google announced Gmail blue and said that this was a way of being close to nature. Anyone remember Avatar now?
Guardian Goggles
Based on Google Goggles, this would allow you to carry Guardian everywhere with you. This prank recieved huge response with people going gaga over the Guardian Goggles, only to be told about its funny purpose of introduction.

Like a magician, critics I turn to crickets
from Eminem – Berzerk Lyrics on Genius
Magicians supposedly turn people into animals. But in Em's case he is saying that his next album is going to be so good it is going to silence even the harshest critics. They'll want to discredit it, but they'll have nothing to say. Cricket chirps are generally used to represent silence, like an audiences' reaction to a bad joke at a comedy show.
