The second seed looked in trouble against big-serving Janowicz - a 22-year-old Pole contesting his first Grand Slam semi-final - but came through 6-7 (2-7) 6-4 6-4 6-3 in a match that finished under the Centre Court roof at 21:37 BST.
Murray, 26, is aiming to become the first Briton since Fred Perry in 1936 to lift the men's singles title at SW19 and will play world number one Novak Djokovic in Sunday's showpiece at 14:00.
Earlier on Friday, Serbia's Djokovic, 26, battled past 24-year-old Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina in a five-set thriller that lasted four hours and 44 minutes.
Former British number one Tim Henman, a four-time semi-finalist at the All England Club, reflects on the semi-finals and looks ahead to a 19th career meeting between Murray and Djokovic.
Murray defeats Janowicz in four sets
"Andy has talked about the pressure and expectation that's been put on him this year and, with that in mind, he's performed phenomenally well. I felt there was going to be a very positive reaction after he was taken to five sets by Fernando Verdasco and the way he dealt with all the challenges that Janowicz threw at him was sensational.
"In big matches at Grand Slams you have to be able to deal with adversity and Andy has now repeatedly shown he can do that. In the first set against Janowicz, he played very well and had break point opportunities but wasn't able to take them. Yet when he lost the set he didn't get down or frustrated - he broke serve at the start of the second set. Even at 4-1 down in the third set, Andy only dropped three points in the next five games to move ahead in the match. These are great examples of his character.
"The decision was then made to shut the roof and that was a tough time for Andy because he had all the momentum. But, again, he dealt with it and look at his statistics for the match: 20 aces to Janowicz's nine, 70% of first serves landed, 76% of points won on his first serve and 71% on his second. It was a high-class performance.
"Andy was unhappy with the roof being closed - and I would have liked to see them play for another 20 minutes or so - but it was going to have to be shut at some stage and it's a judgment call for referee Andrew Jarrett. He felt the best time to stop was at the end of a set but the problem for Andy was that he'd just won five games in a row and was on a roll. It's a very difficult situation, but I would always sympathise and support the referee's decision.
"It's important to stress that the roof is a massive advantage because without it they wouldn't have finished that match. They would have needed to come back on Saturday and, whoever won, there's no doubt it would have been detrimental to their chances in the final."
Djokovic defeats Del Potro in five sets
"The first semi-final was incredible, the level of tennis astonishing and the athletic ability of both players astounding. Some of the shots Djokovic returned were amazing, but also the way Del Potro was moving and hitting with a knee that is not 100% took your breath away.
"It really shows the character and durability these players possess right now and, as it was longest men's semi-final ever seen at Wimbledon, it will go down in history. When you think Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal have been the leaders of this sport for a number of years with all their Grand Slam victories, for Djokovic, Del Potro and later Murray to come out and produce that level just shows the game right now is in the best place it's ever been.
Looking ahead to the final
"In the context of what has happened in the tournament so far - with Federer and Nadal losing early - this is the final everyone wanted, the final everyone has talked about for the last 10 days.
"When you reflect that Andy has made the final of the last four Grand Slams he has entered, he's knocking on the door of the top spot and he now has a superb chance against Djokovic. It will be interesting to see how Novak responds to playing almost five hours but knowing him - his character, athletic ability, fitness and stamina - I'm sure he'll bounce back.
"However, I said before the tournament that Andy is going to win it and I'm not going to change my tune now. The support for him has been amazing and you only needed to be inside Centre Court on Friday to see how the crowd recognised the important moments, when they really needed to get behind him, and he was willing them to get even more involved. It was a great day for tennis and a great day for Murray."

Yet another BBC thread that has vicious anti murray nonscence. Murray won, why not a thread for the public that allow a true reflection as the trolls you seem to endear vanish beneath stones.

115 Who follows Murray....watch Kyle Edmund. He's still a bit young and needs to develop his game but he could definitely be one for the future. But for now it's good to have a British tennis player who is getting into slam finals, and hopefully that will inspire the next generation to believe.
Hoping for a great final and don't really mind who wins as long as the tennis is brilliant

Come on Andy and Scotland !
You can do it !

Ahh Tim..The agony, first on court and now in the commentary box lol. the crowd, support etc. mmm - as ever no rational thinking or cold objectivity and insight. Same as last year. Djokovic saw off Berdych and DP, the latter in top form and Murray's two opponents don't really come close in terms of sustained quality. Bottom line, Murray will need the game of his life and for Nole to be at 80%.

Tiger Tim - another choker who managed to fail even when victory seemed easier. At least he'll be in good company tomorrow when Murray, in true Scottish form, finds the most creative ways to throw it all away.

I think I'll be guided by Tim Henman's views rather than those of the no-names denigrating his obviously expert opinion.

Sick to death of boring two handed baseline tennis. Couldn't care a jot about Wimbledon or the game in general anymore. Such a shame as it was always the fortnight to look forward to.

Somebody please tell Murray NOT to pass back to his opponent every time. Try the open court Murray... You might win a lot sooner and without all that running to gather their return.

Wimbledon's corrupted with Scottish Murray to win. Such a moaner.

All you tennis fans should shut up complaining about anything considering the coverage the BBC gives your sport and its UK participants. Be thankful you're not a MotoGP fan, as the BBC coverage is crap, despite having a British rider leading the Moto2 championship, and another a contender in MotoGP, currently ahead of multi-champ Valentino Rossi.

I must commend Lindsay Davenport for apt and correct commentary as she says al the things that I see when watching matches as well as what Viewers expect her to say. She is great for the game even when she no longer plays and it's s real pleasure to see her on the Women's tour in a different capacity. Well done Lindsay (homegirl - Rancho Palos Verdes). Keep up the goodwork!

The women's final is the worst I have seen, they should return the prize money.

If Boris Becker is commentating the men singles final i will switch off the sound. he has to be the most irritating commentator on this planet,every time he speaks i cringe because it's so bad. on the other hand John McEnroe is superb he's not only funny but his knowledge of the game is up there with the best as is Mark Petchey, Boris please find another job preferable out of Television.
Comment number 121. Posted by rajon 6 Jul 2013 15:48
I am getting fed up with this whole scottish/english whether you are anti/pro murray debate.
Whilst it would be a great day for British/Scottish sport if Andy does win the title just because Andy is from UK doesn't mean i expect every single person in UK to be supporting him. this is not the Olympics where Andy was representing Britain this is wimbledon and he like Novak is playing for himself
Comment number 120. Posted by Igocellicon 6 Jul 2013 15:47
A Scottish star is oor Andy.
Do Scotland proud tomorrow Andy

Having just watched the women's final i am really annoyed that so many people have left and the court is not full for the men's double.i can appreciate leaving your seat to get a drink,food etc after the women's final but i find it rude and disrespectful for these awesome players to come out on to a virtually empty court,,,,,,,,
Some people would love to be sitting there !!!!!!!

115.mrmjvc - "Why can't people just get behind him?...........As an Englishman I'm sick of it....."
Me too - unfortunately a great many of our fellow Englishmen are somewhat intellectually challenged (what the Tory Chair would [allegedly] call "swivel eyed loons") & cannot tell the difference between matey banter & insult...!!!
Comment number 117. Posted by ResCynon 6 Jul 2013 14:57
Hear, hear!
I couldn't give a monkeys about his nationality - he can be Scottish and British as the two are not mutually exclusive. It's out pathetic media that push the 'he's Scottish if he loses' crap. I also couldn't give a stuff about his personality (not that I've ever had a problem with it) as he's paid to play tennis, not to entertain all and sundry with his wit.

"If you know what you do, you are blessed. If you do not know what you do, you are accursed." -- Jesus on violating the sabbath for practical necessities, or not being deluded by dogma to the point of self-injury.
As a guest on this forum or among this religion, I would encourage the Pastafarian community to consider itself as more or other than a parody. A parody is a mockery for the sake of humor or commentary, an antithesis to make a point. Sure, the original Open Letter was a parody of ID, but CotFSM has gone beyond that now. If the parody was all it meant, there would only be one thread on this forum: ID vs Science. No one would wear a pirate hat or eat pasta on friday because of their CotFSM involvement. There would be no need for a Loose Canon, no 10 Suggestions, no pirate parties except to protest creationism, and so on.
Once people have made relations among themselves independent of the parody and start observing rituals and principles of the Pastafarian code "en situ," it has become a real religion. It serves all the purposes of any older religion. It is a non-exclusive religion, an intelligently designed religion, a religion that recognizes the limits of religion to determine the observable truth, a modern, agnostic religion if you will. A religion or spirituality does not have to be deluded by its own metaphors to have real religious benefit -- it is the failure of older religions to recognize this principle that makes them dangerous to humanity in the first place, their essential corruption and dishonesty.
Do you derive comfort, communion, enlightenment, entertainment, and/or education from your Pastafarian ways and interactions, well apart from the specific issue of the creationism vs science issue; and do you also realize that FSM is an intellectual construct and metaphor for the haphazard nature of human belief systems? Do you and numerous others sport/wear clothes, items, and symbols and artifacts of this religion in your daily life as part of your declared social identity? Congratulations, you are not deluded, you are taking part in a real religion! Both the clinical definition of delusion and the functional definition of religion support this conclusion. The basis of religion is not really some inner unsubstantiated belief, it is about practice and application of principles and values in your life. Pastafarianism is very much a real religion, thoroughly self-aware of its principles, by this argument, and it should be recognized as such by the internet and intellectual communities, and by governments of free nations.
It doesn't matter if the FSM is "true" or not, scientifically. No religion's mythos can be proven "true" by that standard. If it were, it would just be science. The right for a group to maintain a separate or additional legitimate value set and symbols and call it religion is protected by law in the better nations of modern times. CotFSM is a beneficent, self-aware, individually tolerant, scientifically supportive religion that holds high moral ground by this standard.

The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends low-dose CT scans to screen high-risk patients for lung cancer.
National experts issue statement on lung cancer screening
A landmark study has shown that low-dose CT scans (LDCTs) can reduce lung cancer deaths.
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recently announced its recommendations for screening high-risk patients for lung cancer. Public comments on its draft statement will be considered until August 26.
Based on available evidence, the Task Force has called for screening people at high risk for lung cancer with annual low-dose CT scans (LDCTs), citing the potential to prevent a substantial number of lung cancer-related deaths. The recommendation applies to a specific subset of asymptomatic patients who:
LDCTs for lung cancer are available for high-risk patients at Mass General Imaging locations in Waltham, Chelsea and Worcester on a self-pay basis. "The LDCT requires no preparation or injection, can be performed quickly and will be interpreted by dedicated thoracic radiologists who are experienced in diagnosing lung cancer," said Jo-Anne Shepard, MD, director of Thoracic Imaging and Intervention in the Mass General Department of Radiology.
The Task Force is an independent, volunteer panel of national experts in prevention and evidence-based medicine that makes recommendations on clinical preventive services such as screenings, counseling services and preventive medications.
For more information, read the Task Force's draft recommendation statement and the recent article in MGH Hotline.
Every scan at Mass General Imaging is read by a radiologist with specialty training in the area of the body being studied.

Dear Mr. Chairman:
On behalf of myself and the 5,000 members of the Independent Community Bankers of America, thank you so much for your help in including much-needed S corporation reforms in the "American Jobs Creation Act," (H.R. 2896). We were pleased to see this important legislation pass the Ways and Means Committee. Chairman Thomas' bill will be extremely helpful to Louisiana's small businesses and especially small manufacturers who rely heavily on available local lending to start, run, and grow their businesses and create jobs.
The ICBA is urging all House members to ensure beneficial Subchapter S reforms now in H.R. 2896 are part of any final "ETI-fix" legislation passed. We appreciate your continued help to preserving the S corporation reforms as H.R. 2896 is considered in the full House and during the final House-Senate Conference.
Thank you again Mr. Chairman for your fine work. The ICBA stands ready to help you in any way we can to help enact H.R. 2896 with important S corporation reforms.

Historians continue debating whether Juan Ponce de Leon landed on Melbourne Beach, but one thing is for certain: He isn't standing atop a pedestal at his namesake park.
After years of fundraising, the Hispanic civil rights group United Third Bridge announced it would unveil a 10-foot, $65,000 bronze statue of the Spanish explorer during a gala April 2 ceremony commemorating the 500th anniversary of Ponce's arrival in Florida.
Dozens of dignitaries, Space Coast officials and residents attended. But there was no statue, just a rectangular cement base with black-granite panels.
Addressing the crowd, UTB President Samuel Lopez said organizers didn't read the "fine print on the engineer's paperwork" that stated an epoxy used with statue-mounting hardware had to cure for 28 days.
"You guys are going to see the statue going up this week. You're going to start seeing the construction," Lopez announced.
That was 11 weeks ago. A metal mounting bracket is now bolted atop the pedestal — but still no statue.
In an interview this week with Local 6 News partner Florida Today, Lopez acknowledged that the April 2 unveiling date proved overly optimistic.
Rockledge sculptor and metalwork artist Rafael Picon is still working on the statue's facial details at his home studio, Lopez said. Picon also encountered a problem crafting one of the figure's hands, but he has fixed that issue, Lopez said.
Since the April 2 "unveiling ceremony," Lopez said UTB encountered delays installing pedestal hardware, stemming from a broken drill bit and engineering paperwork for flanges, screws and cement.
The metal bracket was installed June 4, and Lopez said epoxy is curing now. He declined to provide a revised timetable for a statute-unveiling ceremony.
"I don't want to give anybody a date, because that's what screwed everything up in the first place. I don't want what happened before to happen again, so nobody can say, 'Hey, here we go again,'" Lopez said.
Florida Today asked to photograph the statue but Picon declined. Lopez said Picon does not want to reveal the figure until it goes on public display.
Picon did allow Florida Today to photograph him working on a clay model of the statue in 2011.
Lopez said UTB is making payments to Picon for the $65,000 statue fee, and private-donor fundraising continues. Statue-mounting hardware and labor costs remain undetermined. Lopez said none of the unveiling delays is related to financing.
Lopez said UTB plans to continue organizing re-enactments of Ponce de Leòn's landing every April at the park. As a long-term goal, the group is pursuing construction of a $2 million multicultural educational building at the park.
Juan Ponce de Leòn is credited with "discovering" and naming "La Florida" on April 2, 1513. Historians disagree about whether he landed near St. Augustine or Melbourne Beach.
In a similar April 2 ceremony, Ponte Vedra Beach officials unveiled a bronze statue of the Spanish explorer near the Guana Matanzas Tolomato Estuarine Research Reserve.
Brevard County Parks and Recreation does not have a statue maintenance or insurance agreement with UTB, said Marsha Cantrell, parks support services manager. Jack Masson, parks and recreation director, will discuss the topic with Lopez, she said.
That worries South Beaches resident Jim Rosasco, who lives about a half-mile from Juan Ponce de Leon Landing. He served years ago on the park's advisory board, and he fears his tax dollars will be spent on statue repairs.
"No one has seen this statue. No one has seen what it's made out of. If a storm comes and destroys it, will the county have to come in and replace it? I want to know who's responsible for this stuff," Rosasco said.
On April 12, Rosasco photographed broken cement and rocks left behind by workers who drilled mounting holes in the statue's base. Rosasco emailed the pictures to Commissioner Trudie Infantini and complained.
Statue workers did not properly clean up the site, and county park staffers later cleaned up the mess because it posed a safety hazard, Greg Minor, south area parks operations manager, emailed Infantini on April 15.
Lopez said Rosasco is a longtime opponent of UTB's efforts to develop educational resources at Juan Ponce de Leon Landing. He said Rosasco did not gripe in 2009 when the pedestal was damaged by a runaway vehicle — or, as Lopez suspects, broken by a vandal.
"You're not going to complain about big shattered pieces of granite that were slammed and left on the ground, for weeks? That's how petty that is," Lopez said.
"No matter what we do there, there will always be someone complaining," he said.

In 1931, German scientist Alfred Wiedersheim listed 180 human organs as being vestigial or rudimentary (Wiedersheim, 1931). Today, that list has been all but demolished—thanks to our advancing knowledge of human physiology. However, it appears that the endless evolutionary quest for a vestigial organ will plague us even into the twenty-first century. In the April 2000 issue of the Journal of Neurosurgery, five authors published a paper titled "The Apical Ligament: Anatomy and Functional Significance." After studying 20 human cadavers, the authors concluded that the apical ligament [the apical ligament extends from the dens of the second vertebrae to the sphenoid bone on the skull] is best described as a vestigial structure that offers no significant added stability to the craniocervical junction [the area where the skull meets the vertebrae] (Tubbs, et al., 2000). They also noticed that this ligament was absent in 20% of the specimens examined. However, time and future investigations are not on the authors' side. Consider the following.
As late as 1997, Encyclopaedia Britannica described the appendix in the following manner: "The appendix does not serve any useful purpose as a digestive organ in humans, and it is believed to be gradually disappearing in the human species over evolutionary time" (p. 491). However, the importance of this alleged "vestigial organ" was being discussed in medical textbooks as long ago as 1976. As one scientist admitted: "The appendix is not generally credited with significant function; however, current evidence tends to involve it in the immunologic mechanism" (Bockus, 1976, p. 1135). Current medical textbooks describe the appendix as a "well-developed lymphoid organ" (Moore, 1992, p. 205) whose "mucosa and submucosa…are dominated by lymphoid nodules" and whose "primary function is as an organ of the lymphatic system" (Martini, 1995, p. 916). Even with this knowledge, the appendix still is mentioned in some evolutionary literature as being vestigial. But this reasoning begs the question: If our ancestors used an appendix in some earlier function, from which ancestral stock did it "devolve"? The "old" and "new" world monkeys must be more highly evolved than humans, because they do not possess an appendix—which leaves one to rationalize that monkeys must have evolved from humans!
A review of the medical literature documents one of the last alleged vestigial organs in humans to be the vomeronasal organ (also referred to as Jacobson's organ), which is found on the nasal septae. In the 1970s, this particular organ was regarded as vestigial, but recently was discovered to be more common than previously reported. A study conducted in 1998 found that physicians, using routine nasal examinations, identified the vomeronasal organ in only 16% of the people examined. Yet when nasal endoscopes were employed in the same procedure, the figure jumped to 76% (Gaafar, et al., 1998). Additionally there is now impressive evidence substantiating the fact that this organ has a specific sensory function in humans (Gaafar, et al., 1998; Berliner, et al., 1996).
Vestigial structures are those structures in man and animals that evolutionists claim to be degenerate, and thus useless. We are told that these structures, while of no value to present-day animals, were at one time useful to their evolutionary predecessors. These structures are said to be "leftovers" that eventually will be lost completely through evolutionary processes of selection. The following table contains just a few examples of alleged vestigial organs that still can be found in some modern biology textbooks.
Alleged Vestigial Organs in Man
Coccyx (tail bone)
Nictitating membrane of eye
Little toe
Wisdom teeth
Nipples on males
Nodes on ears ("Darwin's points")
Ear muscles (for wiggling)
Pineal gland
Body hair
While space does not permit an examination of each of these, suffice it to say that we now know there are no vestigial organs in the human body. Even many of the so-called vestigial organs in animals (e.g., legs in the python, hip bones in the whale, etc.) are now known to have important functions.
Another point that needs to be considered is this: If man does have 180 vestigial organs (organs that once were functioning), then in the past he would have had more organs than he now has. In the past, he would have been developing the organs that he presently has, plus he would have had the 180 functional vestigial organs. So the farther back we go in time, the more complex the organism becomes (see Wysong, 1976, pp. 398-399). Rather an interesting evolutionary twist, wouldn't you say?
Those evolutionists who keep up with the scientific literature rarely discuss this issue any longer. Actually, when you consider that there are no evidences of the transitional stages between functioning organs and useless organs, then these so-called useless appendages would prove devolution, not evolution. Evolution is the rise of new, different, and functioning organs, not the wasting away of already-present, complex organs. Creationists ask: "Where are all of these nascent [new—BH] organs? Vestigial organs show degeneration, devolution, not evolution" (Wysong, p. 398).
Evolutionists may continue to promote this line of thinking, but given time and additional research, the true function of each and every organ will become clear. We must understand that without "vestigial organs," it is much more difficult for evolutionists to claim that all animals are similar, and thus have descended from a common ancestor. As Wysong noted:
Not too long ago man was imputed to have 180 vestiges. Organs like the appendix, tonsils, thymus, pineal gland and thyroid gland were on the list. Today, all former vestigial organs are known to have some function during the life of the individual. If the organ has any function at any time, it cannot be called rudimentary or vestigial.... As man's knowledge has increased the list of vestigial organs decreased. So what really was vestigial? Was it not man's rudimentary knowledge of the intricacies of the body? (p. 397).
Dr. Wysong's point is well made. It turns out that scientists actually used the word "vestigial," not to mean a "useless" organ, but instead to say, in reality, "we're ignorant of what this organ's function is at this point in time." As our ignorance wanes, so, ironically, does the number of alleged vestigial organs.

text: I need to create i mySQL database for a client, one of the features that they want is to be able to log into the administration site, and print off mailing lables from the DB, so does any one know how i would go about doing this. I know that I can make the information display in tables , but is there any way I can export it to some .txt (page by page), or should i just use an access DB, and have them d/l it and do everything from access. The one problem is that this DB has the potential to hace tens of thousands of entries in it. Any ideas or wisdom would be appreciated.

"Derek! He can't say, 'Up your passage Miss Waterfield.' It's rude!"
DEBORAH WATLING portrayed VICTORIA WATERFIELD during PATRICK TROUGHTON's tenure as DOCTOR WHO. Famous for the practical jokes that went on behind the camera, this era produced some classic DOCTOR WHO stories and VICTORIA became one of the most popular of the DOCTOR's companions. This MYTH MAKERS features material shot at MONSTERCON in Liverpool ten years ago, together with an interview recorded on location during the shooting of DOWNTIME (RTP0087), the DOCTOR WHO spin-off drama in which DEBORAH re-creates the part of VICTORIA after more than twenty five years! DEBORAH and her father JACK WATLING (PROFESSOR TRAVERS) chat to NICHOLAS BRIGGS about working together again and we feature behind the scenes material from DOWNTIME. And of course there's the odd Yeti around!
"I think PAUL McGANN could be a very good Doctor, he wouldn't be my first choice, but nonetheless he's a very fine actor!" VICTOR PEMBERTON's association with DOCTOR WHO is long and varied. As extra, writer, script editor, producer and novelist, he is in a unique position to comment on the programme's successes and failures - and he's prepared to do just that! VICTOR certainly wouldn't claim credit for writing the dramatic links in this MYTH MAKERS where he encounters a strange bewildered NICHOLAS BRIGGS and an even stranger source of a plopping noise. In fact this is the culmination of the ultimate kitchen sink drama - just what is outside the window? This MYTH MAKERS combines two interviews with VICTOR, the first shot at his country home in Essex and the latest at out studios in London.

Rep. William L. Owens, D-Plattsburgh, today spoke out against charging travelers to cross U.S. borders after the Department of Homeland Security floated the idea in its proposed 2014 fiscal year budget.
Imposing a fee to cross the border is a bad idea, plain and simple, Mr. Owens said in a news release.I represent a number of communities that depend on Canadian travelers and investment to support local businesses and job growth. Instead of adding an additional barrier for commerce, we should be taking more steps to ease the legitimate flow of people and goods between our two countries.
In its budget submission, DHS proposes to complete a study within nine months of enactment assessing the feasibility and cost relating to establishing and collecting a land border crossing fee for both land border pedestrians and passenger vehicles along the northern and southwest borders of the United States.
Mr. Owens vowed to explore all legislative options available to me to prevent this move in the months ahead.
