The first full day of play begun in Birmingham with the organisers hoping not to repeat the farcical start to the 2012 tournament. Play begun at 9am on Wednesday and mercifully ended on Wednesday, albeit well after 11pm but the first day of this years edition of the All England will be remembered for the amount of seeds crashing out on the opening day of play.
Seeds Tested in Men's Singles
Kenichi Tago was the sole seed that progressed into the second round without the loss of a game, defeating Viktor Axelsen in his opening round match. Hu Yun and Du Pengyu were the big name casualties of the first round, with Lee Chong Wei, Chen Long, Sony Dwi Kuncoro, Chen Jin and Tien Minh Nguyen all needing three games to progress to the last 16.
Lee Chong Wei takes on Wang Zhengming in the pick of the second round matches, with Chen Long also likely to be tested against Takuma Ueda of Japan. Jan O Jorgensen flys the flag for Europe and takes on Sony Dwi Kuncoro in a miserable day for European badminton, with just six wins coming in 29 matches over the course of the opening days play.
Chinese Misery In Women's Singles
There is usually five to seven Chinese players left in the draw at the last 16 stage, but this week just three remain. Li Han takes on Tine Baun whilst the other two Chinese players, Wang Shixian and Jiang Yanjiao play against one another in the second round. The major shocks in the competition come at the expense of China with Olympic champion Li Xuerui losing in two games to Bae Yeon Ju whilst the third seeded Wang Yihan lost to Indonesia's Lindaweri Fanetri, also in two games.
Both Saina Nehwal and Wang Shixian needed three games to ensure their passage into the second round but there was no such trouble for the European seeds. Juliane Schenk set up a tough second round match against P.V. Sindhu and Tine Baun's future in the All England and her career will be tested to the full by Li Han of China.
Lee/Ko Crash Out
A pre-match withdrawal from Cai and Cialis Fu weakened the event but the shock loss of Lee and Ko to Germany's Kindervater and Schoettler was perhaps the biggest positive from a European standpoint on the day. The loss of Cai and Fu as well as Lee and Ko has made the top half of the men's doubles draw all the easier for the top seeded Boe and Mogensen, who take on China's Liu and Qiu in tomorrow's second round.
Moren and Szkudlarczyk provided their own shock in the bottom half, with a three game victory over the 5th seeded Hong and Shen to ensure there would not be a full compliment of seeds in the bottom half of the draw. Koo and Tan defeated Ellis and Adcock to end English hopes in the competition, with Robert Blair partnering Tan Bin Shen who take on the 4th seeded Endo and Hayakawa in the second round.
Asian Dominance In Women's Doubles
The second seeded Danish pair of Pedersen and Rytter Juhl crashed out to Bao and Tian in the opening round, ending any hope of a European threat in the women's doubles. Wang and Yu progressed safely into the second round, joined there by Ma and Tang as well as Cheng and Zhao. Zhao and Tian were previously partners but will play against one another for the first time in their new partnerships in the second round tomorrow.
The sixteen remaining pairs all hail from Asia, with all four European pairs crashing out in the first round. Jenny Wallwork's retirement in the days leading up to the All England surprised many and asks the question about how far her and partner Alex Langley would have gone in the event this year.
Danish Disaster In Mixed Doubles
Christinna Pedersen's opening day ended in disaster as her and partner Joachim Fischer Neilsen were the only seeds not the progress into the last 16, beaten by the Indonesian pair of Kido and Bernadeth. Xu and Ma defeated Adcock and White to set-up an all-Chinese second round match against Qiu and Bao. Zhang and Zhao made light work of another Danish pair, Pieler Kolding and Rytter Juhl to reach the last 16.
Day 1 Results:
A new year brings a new start for the worlds best in Seoul but a Chinese cloud overshadowed the opening day with withdrawals and shock exits. Li Xuerui, Chen Long and the Olympic champions Cai and Fu all withdrew in the opening game of their matches, thus avoiding a fine or disqualification for "not playing with their best efforts". Li Xuerui came into the tournament with an injury already and an opening round retirement meant that the Olympic champion would avoid a fine.
Lee Chong Wei avoided an early scare to defeat Wang Zhengming and will take on Marc Zwiebler in the last 16 tomorrow. There was more European success with Jan O Jorgensen defeating the 5th seeded Kenichi Tago in two games and will be joined in the last 16 by Viktor Axelsen also. Vladimir Ivanov completes the European group in the last 16 and takes on Jorgensen for a place in the quarterfinals. Chen Jin's defeat to Gao Huan in three games was one of the big surprises of the opening round and Du Pengyu's victory ensures just two Chinese players into the last 16 of a Super Series Premier for the first time in recent memory.
Li Xuerui's retirement in her opening round game gifted Porntip Buranaprasertsuk her route into the last 16 and opened up the entire event. Saina Nehwal will be the biggest beneficiary of Li Xuerui's retirement as the Indian becomes the top seed in the top half of the women's singles draw. Jiang Yanjiao and Li Han ensure her route into the latter stages is far from easy whilst Wang Shixian ensures a Chinese presence in the bottom half of the draw also. European interests will fall onto Tine Baun and Juliane Schenk as has become custom in the Super Series, with the 4th and 8th seeds progressing without much resistance. The biggest surprise was Wang Yihan's retirement leading 19-8 in the second game, after the second seed lost the opening game.
Lee and Ko will be the crowd favourite in does viagra work better thaqn cialis for men with hypothyroidism the men's doubles and their opening round victory over Blair and Tan ensures another day of capacity crowds in Seoul. Boe and Mogensen's victory sets up an all-European second round match against Kindervater and Schoettler. Koo and Tan, seeded 2nd will take on another Malaysian pair in their second round in Ong and Gan but have a pair of Japanese threats waiting in the later rounds. Endo and Hayakawa as well as Hirata and Hashimoto recorded opening round victories in the same half of the draw and with Lee and Ko also in this side of the draw, this could be the most competitive event of the week.
Wang and Yu began 2013 with a routine victory over Korea's Lee and Ko with Zhao Yunlei and new partner Cheng Shu being a potential quarter final opponent. Tian Qing and her new partner Bao Yixin also progressed in the top half of the women's doubles with a straightforward two game victory. Only Ma and Tang will represent China in the bottom half and the top seed in this half of the draw, Pedersen and Rytter Juhl survived a three-game match against Bernadeth and Pradipta of Indonesia to eventually book their place in the last 16.
A full compliment of seeds made it through to the last 16 in the mixed doubles, headlined by Xu and Ma of China who defeated Lee and Kim of Korea to set up a second round match against Fuchs and Michels of Germany. There is an all-European match between European champions Mateusiak and Zieba who take on the new English partnership of Adcock and White. Christinna Pedersen again needed three games to progress with her partner Joachim Fischer Neilsen to set up a second round match against Shin and Eom of Korea. Zhang and Zhao abruptedly ended the run of the new Danish partnership of Pieler Kolding and Rytter Juhl in the opening round to set up a second round match against the Russian pair of Durkin and Vislova.
Day 1 Results:
A new year offers a new start and a new motivation after the obvious comedown from an Olympic year. The goals for the year alter from London 2012 with all eyes on Guangzhou and the World Championships in early August. Before the summer spectacle, the Super Series and Super Series Premier will pit the best against the best in 2013.
The world's elite converge in Korea for the first Super Series Premier of the year with the biggest prize fund of the year on offer. 2013 is a year of change within the badminton world, with new events and the last of certain Super Series before the new 2014 schedule. London gains a GP Gold event in early October that leads as a build-up event to the Denmark/France Super Series later in the month.
It will be the last Super Series in Malaysia before it's upgrade to Premier status in 2013 and China loses its Super Series event this year with Australia claiming Super Series status in 2014 but the China Super Series Premier remains. There will be no Peter Gade in 2013, retiring late last year with a last famous victory over Lin Dan. The double-Olympic champion will pick and choose his events as always and is a noticeable absence in Korea this week.
Lee Chong Wei and Chen Long will be the favourites for the title in the men's singles but a wealth of Chinese talent looking to defeat the top seed in the opening event of 2013. Wang Zhengming will be the first to claim a victory over the Malaysian and a likely Chinese opponent in the semi final should Lee Chong Wei reach the last 4. Victor Axelsen takes on Taufik Hidayat as the old guard meets the new generation in the match of the opening round.
The women's singles offers the expected Chinese dominance, with four seeds from the eight but like the men's singles, a new generation coming through to the overthrow the Chinese hierarchy in the event. Ratchanok Intanon buy xanax without prescription is the newest in line to attempt to defeat the world's elite and Saina Nehwal will also continue her quest to become world number 1. Tine Baun plays her last Korea Open ahead of her retirement after the All Englands before Juliane Schenk takes over the mantle of the sole European threat at the Super Series level.
Lee and Ko's meteoric surge up the rankings sees them seeded 6th but any thoughts of a dream final against Cai and Fu will be tempered with neither pair having an easy run to next Sunday's final. Koo and Tan are the 2nd seeds in Korea and likely semi final opponents for the Koreans whilst Cai and Fu will probably have to defeat the top seeded Boe and Mogensen in order to reach the final.
The women's doubles is the event to watch after the farcical events of the Olympics. Wang and Yu have returned to competitive action and their biggest rivals of the past few years have been split up to create two new partnerships. It offers Chinese a similar chance to dominate the doubles event as much as the singles with four partnerships that will likely feature in the top 10 in the coming months. Zhao Yunlei forms a new partnership with Cheng Shu, Tian Qing joins with Bao Yixin as well as Ma and Tang will offer Wang and Yu a stern test in 2013.
The mixed doubles offers the closest resemblance to 2012 with a similar field to the previous year. Chris Adcock and Gabby White are the top pairing from the six new English pairings whilst Jillie Cooper and Robert Blair will offer the only chance of Scottish success in the event. The usual suspects are all present in Korea, with Kamilla Rytter Juhl partnering Mads Pieler Kolding after Thomas Laybourn's retirement after the London Olympics. Ma and Xu are the top seeds, with their Chinese rivals Zhang and Zhao seeded 4th in the 2013 opener.
Play begins in Korea on Tuesday, January 8.
9 Days, 5 Chinese Golds and 8 disqualified athletes as the wait for another Olympics begins once more. The Great British dream turned into a nightmare inside the opening two hours of play whilst a legend was born in the final two hours of play.
The Winners
Lin Dan successfully defended his Olympic crown with a performance that to an extent, surpasses his victory in Beijing four years previously. There was no partisan crown in Wembley Arena and there was an equal on the court in Lee Chong Wei. It is to date, the greatest Olympic match ever.
Li Xuerui was a relative unknown inside this arena 12 months ago, as she watched on as the world championships took place. Now she leaves London as Olympic champion as the Chinese justified her inclusion ahead of Wang Shixian. What Li Xuerui brings is a trait that is rarely seen in Chinese players, an absolute desire to win that surpasses her talents and ability.
Cai and Fu achieved the final piece of their careers with an Olympic gold, the only title that the Chinese pair had never won. They lost in the final in Beijing four years ago and had to wait until now to redeem themselves, which they did in spectacular fashion as they won gold without the loss of a game.
Indian badminton will consider this a triumph for what they have achieved, with Kashyup Parupalli's run to the quarterfinals and with Saina Nehwal's bronze medal. With high hopes going into the 2013 World Championship in Guangzhou as well as the remainder of the 2012 season.
Alex Bruce and Michelle Li were the story of the women's doubles in the aftermath of the group phase scandal. Their semi-final match was a testament to what the Olympics set out to achieve – despite their defeat to Fujii and Kakiiwa, they had inspired a generation.
The Losers
Chris Adcock and Imogen Bankier came into the Olympics with medal expectations, those expectations were tempered after an opening match defeat and before several of the world's best singles players had set foot on court, their dream was over. Their success in 2011 was partly due to the lack of expectation and the surprise of their unlikely run to the World Championship final, there was nothing like that in 2012. A nation expected.
Lee Chong Wei came within two points of an Olympic title, only for Lin Dan to snatch glory from the Malaysian's grasp for the second year running. It is perhaps not has heartbreaking as his defeat in 2011, where he did have a match point in the final but his reaction after his final shot was one of total dejection. Comforted by his coaches as he was forced to watch Lin Dan celebrate in his defeat. Only one final chance in Guangzhou waits for the Malaysian to claim a major title.
Lee Yong Dae and Chung Jae Sung were touted as the favourites for the men's doubles titles going into the Olympics Online Pokies. Lee Yong Dae's mixed doubles campaign lasted a mere three games but in the men's doubles, the Korean pair breezed into the semi finals only to be outdone by the brilliance of an inspired Mathias Boe and Carsten Mogensen. They ended up with the bronze medal, with the Olympics being Chung Jae Sung's final event as Lee Yong Dae will have a new partner after this week.
Indonesia will leave London without an Olympic medal, with the failures of Taufik Hidayat, Simon Santoso and the mixed doubles pairing of Ahmad and Natsir failing to secure a bronze medal against Fischer and Pedersen.
Final Farewell
Peter Gade's Olympic career came to an end at the quarterfinal stage, with Chen Long defeating the Dane in two games in a match that Gade claims he played some of his best badminton in recent memory. Just three events remain in the legendary career of Peter Gade – Japan, France and a final farewell in Denmark.
The Disgraced Eight
The criticism that has been widespread is not that they opted to lose the matches, but the manner in how they chose to do it. The distain and arrogance on show to blatantly throw the matches with serving into the net and not allowing a rally of more than four points has questioned the professionalism of every badminton player, not just the eight players expelled.
The feeling from within badminton is that given the opportunity to do it once again, all of the pairs would have no problem doing it again. The counterargument is that they are ultimately playing for an Olympic gold medal, which is four years of work and that after putting in so much effort to reach the Olympics – the possibility of making the job easier in one that should be taken.
The Chinese squad, wanted gold and silver from the women's doubles which was indeed achievable. The Korean and Indonesian pairs merely wanted to avoid the Chinese pairs in the later stages. This all stemmed from a match earlier in the day between Pedersen and Rytter Juhl, who defeated Tian and Zhao in their group. Little did they know that the effect of that victory would eliminate four of their biggest rivals in the next 24 hours as well.
Yu Yang has allegedly retired, walking away from the game that she adores. Wang Xiaoli has promised to regain people's trust in her and in the middle of it Li Yongbo takes sole responsibility for the actions of his players. It has been a problem throughout the Olympic qualification process, with phantom injuries leading to walkovers.
What the BWF have done with this landmark decision is opened the door for more walkovers instead of these farcical matches but also forced sporting integrity to be upheld. There will undoubtedly be a change to the format of the competition in Rio come 2016, but there will be little change in the nations that dominate the sport as China claimed all five gold medals in London.
With six medals still on offer, the final day of Olympic badminton promised to be special. China were assured of two medals with the possibility of three as Lin Dan defended his Olympic title in another classic.
Lin Dan Claims Gold
The 2011 meeting in this arena between Lin Dan and Lee Chong Wei was widely considered to the greatest match ever played. The 2012 meeting for Olympic gold will definitely be a contender to that title. An animated Lee Chong Wei took the opening game as a lackluster Lin Dan made several critical areas as the Malaysian dominated at the net. The second game was a role reversal, with the drift inside the arena playing it's part over the first two games.
The third game had everything you could ever wish for, long pulsating rallies and two of the best players of this or any generation retrieving shots that nobody thought possible. Lin Dan turned 11-9 up, but the ascendancy changed throughout the second game, with Lee Chong Wei taking an 18-16 lead as Malaysia hoped for gold. Lin Dan replied with the play that won him Olympic gold in Beijing four years previously. The score became 19-19 after the Malaysia left a lift that landed on the line, with Lin Dan going on an all-out attack to claim the first gold medal point.
The rally drew comparisons with Lin Dan's match point a year previously, pushing deep into Lee Chong Wei's forehand rear before a tight net shot from Lin Dan forced a high lift from the Malaysian that Lin Dan watched out of the back of the court before sprinting off court in celebration with the Chinese coaches in his wake. Lee Chong Wei remained on court to be consoled by his coaches. Lin Dan claimed his second gold medal 15-21, 21-10, 21-19 in 79 minutes.
Chen Long claimed the bronze medal in a three game victory over Lee Hyun Il to ensure an 8th medal out of a possible 15.
Cai and Fu Win Gold
The men's doubles final was between Cai and Fu of China against Boe and Mogensen of Denmark, who defeated the world number 1 pairing of Lee and Chung, won had already won the bronze medal in the morning session. The match was competitive, but there was only going to be one winner as the Danish pair had already played their final in the semi finals in beating Lee and Chung. The 21-15, 21-16 score was an accurate representation of the match as a whole, with the Chinese pairing just too strong for the Danes.
The win ensured a clean sweep of the medals for China, with four new gold medalists in Li Xuerui, Cai and Fu, Tian and Zhao Yunlei, who claimed two golds, one in the women's doubles and another in the mixed with Zhang Nan.
The day begun with Cai and Fu reaching the men's doubles Olympic final and ended with a pair of gold medals for China with the injury of Wang Xin the only low point in a day riddled with success for the Chinese.
Gold For Li Xuerui
The form player in 2012 justified her selection for the Olympics ahead of Wang Shixian and won China's second gold in two days. It was talent over willpower in the women's singles match, with Wang Yihan's talent failing to defeat Li Xuerui's will to win in a three-game classic. Saina Nehwal claimed the bronze medal, but not in the way the Indian would have hoped as Wang Xin retired at the beginning of the second game after claiming the opening game. A knee-injury hindered Wang Xin's movement before she crumbled on court after the opening point in the second game that forced her into retirement and gave Nehwal the bronze medal.
Tian and Zhao Claims Women's Doubles Gold
There was a Chinese winner in the women's doubles, but not the pair that many expected. With the group stage farce decimating the draw, it was the 2nd seeded Tian and Zhao who claimed gold – with Zhao Yunlei winning her second gold of the Olympics after her mixed doubles success. An easy first game victory for the Chinese required a response from the Japanese pairing of Fujii and Kakiiwa to ensure there wasn't a Chinese rout. A tighter second game ensued, but the Chinese eventually took the second game 25-23 to ensure China's third gold. Sorokina and Vislova took the bronze medal, after a one-sided victory over the Canadian pair of Bruce and Li.
Boe and Mogensen stun Lee and Chung
The "dream final" in the men's doubles was put on hold for at least four years by the Danish pair of Boe and Mogensen who defeated Lee and Chung in a sensation men's doubles semi final which will be a contender for match of the tournament. The Korean pair took an early lead, claiming the first game only for the Danes to respond and take the second game. After squandering a match point, Boe and Mogensen earned a second match point and a Mogensen lift was left by Lee Yong Dae, only for the shuttle to hit the lead and send the Danes into tomorrow's final. Cai and Fu will be their opponents tomorrow, after the Chinese pair defeated Koo and Tan in a one-sided semi final that the Chinese pair took with their third match point to ensure their second successive Olympic final.
Day 8 Results:
The dream of going one better for Adcock and Bankier inside Wembley Arena lasted a mere two days. For some players, it was the start of their campaign but for others the dream has already ended in London..
Session 1 – Adcock & Bankier Out
The home crowd hoped for a reversal from yesterday's match, but instead it was the same story as their group opener. Adcock and Bankier claimed the opening game against Fuchs and Michels before losing in three games to render their final group match against Zhang and Zhao meaningless. For Li and Bruce, it was another brutal defeat in the women's doubles – this time it was the Korean pair of Kim and Jung the inflicted their second defeat in Group A and ensured their elimination.
Sho Sasaki and Lee Hyun Il began their campaigns with identical victories – 21-12, 21-7 to book their places in the last 16. Ahmad and Natsir booked their place in the mixed doubles quarterfinals with a two game victory over Lee and Ha of Korea, who will need to win their next two matches to have any chance of progressing.
Session 2 – Jongjit & Issara Impressive
The Thai pairing of Jongjit and Issara came into the Olympics as the world number 19 pairing but have progressed in the last 8 of the men's doubles with a victory over Ko and Yoo, their third victory against the Korean pair. Another pair safely into the last 8 is the Malaysian pair of Koo and Tan – whose victory over Bach and Gunawan eliminated the American pair.
Zhang and Zhao booked their place in the last 8 in the mixed doubles with a two game victory over Nikolaenko and Sorokina, whilst Laybourn and Rytter Juhl opened up their campaign in Group C of the mixed doubles with a victory over V and Gutta of India to end any chances of them qualifying for the last 8.
Saina Nehwal began her campaign in impressive fashion, defeating Sabrina Jaquet 21-9, 21-4 to join Lianne Tan at the top of Group E. Sayako Sato set up her winner-take-all match with Susan Egelstaff after the 12th seed defeated Maya Tvrdy in two tight games to join the Brit at the top of Group H
Session 3 – Boe & Mogensen Survive Scare
Wang and Yu made it two impressive victories in a row with their win over Vislova and Sorokina to top Group A. There were three more Chinese victories as Xu and Ma started their mixed doubles campaign with a win over Chan and Goh of Malaysia whilst her Spanish opponent Carolina Marin tested Li Xuerui before the 3rd seed eventually won in two games. Cai and Fu completed the Chinese success story with a two game victory over Kindervater and Scholettler but needed to save three game points in the first game.
Cai and Fu's main rivals in the men's doubles, Lee and Chung came through in two games against Sato and Kawamae of Japan. The lasting image of the match with being Naoki Kawamae's smash in the first game that broke his racket with the force of the shot. Boe and Mogensen survived a real scare against the world number 18 pairing of Ivanov and Sozonov as they dropped the first game and were two points away from defeat. However, the Danes fought back to take the second game and were never in any danger in the third game and secured qualification into the last 8.
Christinna Pedersen and Kamilla Rytter Juhl resurrected their chances of reaching the last 8 of the women's doubles with a three game battle over Poon and Tse of Hong Kong to set up a Tuesday morning clash with the world number 2 pairing of Tian and Zhao. Rajiv Ouseph was GB's sole victory on the day he defeated Henri Hurkainen in three games in one of the last matches of the session. Ouseph takes on Guatemala's Kevin Cordon for the top spot in Group M on Tuesday afternoon.
The group stages for the badminton were one of the first events to begin on Day 1 of the Olympics, with every player understanding that whilst the gold couldn't be won today – any chance of winning it could be lost on the opening days play.
Session 1 – Heartbreak For GB & Denmark
Ahmad and Natsir began play on the opening day, with the 3rd seeds in the mixed doubles defeating V and Gutta of India in two games to start their campaign in the best possible way. Bae Yeon Ju survived an first game scare against Tee Jung Yi to win her match in three games whilst the current European champion pairing of Mateusiak and Zieba defeated Ikeda and Shiota for the first time to win their mixed doubles opener in Group B.
The second and third matches of the session brought the biggest surprises, with Maeda and Suetsuna defeating the Danish pair of Pedersen and Rytter Juhl to top Group D in the women's doubles. The world silver medalists in the mixed doubles, Adcock and Bankier suffered a three game defeat to the Russian pair of Nikolaenko and Sorokina to make their qualification chances increasingly difficult, with a victory over Zhang and Zhao almost certainly needed to progress to the last 8.
Zhao Yunlei was on an adjacent court in her women's doubles opener with Tian Qing, with the Chinese pair needing just two games to defeat the Hong Kong pair of Poon and Tse
Session 2 – No Problem For The Seeds
GB got their first victory of the day, with Susan Egelstaff defeating Maja Tvrdy in two games to make her match with Sayaka Sato all the more important. Cwalina and Logosz had the makings of a surprise against Ko and Yoo, before the Korean's eventually found their form and won the match in three games.
Li Xuerui defeated Claudia Rivero easily to take top spot in Group L, whilst in the men's singles Shon Wan Ho and Taufik Hidayat both won their opening group games, with Hidayat defeating Petr Koukal 21-8, 21-8 to signal his intend for the week ahead.
Ha and Kim won their Group C opener in the women's doubles against the South African pair of Viljoen and Edwards whilst in Group D, Fujii and Kakiiwa defeated Gutta and Ponnappa to top Group B. The Group B mixed doubles has two Europeans in the qualfication spots, with Denmark's Fischer Neilsen and Pedersen defeating Canada's Ng and Gao to win their first match within the group.
Session 3 – Top Seeds Start Perfectly
Wang and Yu were never in any trouble in their Group A opener against Li and Bruce, winning in two games to top the group. Zhang and Zhao joined Nikolaenko and Sorokina at the top of Group A in the mixed doubles with an impressive two game victory over Fuchs and Michels.
The top three pairs in the men's doubles, with Cai and Fu beginning their campaign and Smith and Warfe of Australia, headlined the session. The Chinese pair never looked in any danger as they defeated the world number 38 pairing in two games. The 2005 world champions – USA's Bach and Gunawan, tested Lee and Chung in their Group D opener. The second seeded Korean's progressed in two games to sit atop Group D with Koo and Tan.
Denmark recovered from their women's doubles defeat with a pair of victories in the final session. Boe and Mogensen defeated the South African pair of James and Viljoen in two games to top Group C in the men's doubles whilst in the men's singles Jan O Jorgensen defeated Israel's Misha Zilberman to top Group I, with a match with Derek Wong on Tuesday night to book his place in the last 16.
Day 1 Results:
The London Olympics are just days away, the realisation that four years have passed since Lin Dan's masterclass in Beijing and that five champions will be crowned – before it all ends for another four years come August 5.
All the favourites are present this year, Lee Chong Wei has recovered from his ankle injury but to what extent remains unclear. His first match will be against Finland's Ville Lang, a EBU tour veteran whose physical approach to the game will be a intriguing test for the Malaysian and his ankle. Lin Dan takes on Scott Evans, with the Irishman making it into the Olympics from second reserve to be the first hurdle in Lin Dan's defence of the title. A last 16 clash with Taufik Hidayat potentially awaits, as the 2004 and 2008 Olympic champions face one another in 2012.
Peter Gade starts his campaign against Portugal's Pedro Martins, but matches with Shon Wan Ho and Chen Long await on his path to the semi final stage and any chance of a medal. British hopes lie in the hands of Rajiv Ouseph, who takes on the European silver medalist Henri Hurskainen and world championship quarter finalist Kevin Cordon – with the group winner taking on Sho Sasaki unless one of the greatest upsets in the history of the Olympics and Virgil Soeroredjo sensationally defeats the 6th seeded Sasaki.
Michelle Li will be the top seeded Wang Yihan's opening round match, with the Canadian meeting the top seed in both her events at the Olympics. Wang Xin takes on the USA's Rena Wang whilst Li Xuerui has to take on both Carolina Marin and Claudia Rivero to ensure her place in the last 16. Saina Nehwal's quarter of the draw is laden with Europeans, with no less than 14 of the 16 players coming from European – headlined by the 5th seeded Tine Baun, Saina Nehwal's likely quarter final opponent. Susan Egelstaff couldn't have hand picked a better group, with Britain's sole entry taking on the 12th seeded Sayaka Sato and Slovenia's Maja Tvrdy, both of which she has a superior head to head against.
Perhaps the toughest groups of the Olympics is in the men's doubles, with Lee and Chung of Korea taking on the 2005 world championships Bach and Gunawan, as well as the Japanese pair of Sato and Kawamae then finally Koo and Tan of Malaysia. Another intriguing group features the 4th seeded Ko and Yoo, who take on Issara and Jongjit of Thailand, a pair they have never beaten, as well as Poland's Cwalina and Logosz before the hardest of their group matches against Ahsan and Septano.
The women's doubles groups have varying degrees of difficulty, with Ha and Kim as well as Jauhari and Polii receiving a fortunate group featuring the African and Oceania entries for the Olympics. Whilst Group D has three pairs inside of the top 10, with Tian and Zhao, Maeda and Suetsuna as well as Rytter Juhl and Pedersen all battling for one spot. Not to mention the Singapore pair of Tse and Poon who have excellent records against all the pairs except the Chinese 2nd seeds in their group.
As if the script wasn't written for this, Zhang and Zhao will take on Adcock and Bankier inside Wembley Arena once more. Both were put into Group A with Fuchs and Michels of Germany and Nikolaenko and Sorokina of Russia with the Brits being favoured to claim at least one of the qualification spots on offer. Group C is without a doubt the "group of death" at this year's Olympics. With three of the top 9 pairs in the world in the same group, with the 4th pair being ranked 13th. Ahsan and Natsir, Laybourn and Rytter Juhl as well as Lee and Ha will have to fight for two places, with the Indian pair of V and Gutta undoubtably going to have some say in the final standings of this group also.
Their list of accomplishments are exceptional but even more exceptional is their journey to this point and the only thing missing from their list is Olympic gold in London. They have been at the very top of the men's doubles rankings for over 8 years and have won nearly every title on several occasions, with 4 World Championships, 2 Asian Games titles and countless Super Series victories.
Cai Yun career was put into serious doubt in 2001, when heart problems from the previous four years of training forced him into heart surgery and a change of discipline from singles to doubles. In 2003, Cai Yun teamed up with Fu Haifeng and won a World Championship bronze medal. In the last few years, their rivalry with Lee Yong Dae and Jung Jae Sung has been several of the greatest matches in the history of the men's doubles. Their 2009 World Championship Final has been revered as the greatest men's doubles match in history.
In their 21 matches, they trail their Korean rivals 11-10 but two of their victories have came in the World Championships.
Are Lee and Jung Their Only Threat?
The Danish pair of Boe and Mogensen are the current world number 3 pairing, but the two pairs haven't played for almost 2 years. Cai and Fu hold a 6-2 head to head over the Danes and their head to head over the world ranked 4 pairing of Ko and Yoo is even better, leading 7-1. Their record against all of the top 10 pairs is impressive, with only the Malaysia pair of Koo and Tan claiming more than two victories over Cai and Fu.
Can They Win Gold?
Anything less than a gold will be considered a failure for the Chinese pair. A likely 22nd match against Lee and Jung is expected in the Olympic final, with Cai and Fu feeding off their success from their 2009 and 2011 victories over the Koreans at the World Championships. They have only lost one match this year, to Lee and Jung in the All England Final in March. They will go to the Olympics in form after an impressive Thomas Cup showing, with five victories without the loss of a game.

Supportive Services for Veterans Families (SSVF) Program
The Supportive Services for Veterans Families Program works with nonprofit organizations to provide social services for low-income and very low-income veterans and their families currently residing in or transitioning to permanent housing.
Funding to these organizations provides outreach and case management to families to help them through the process of accessing all VA benefits and mainstream benefits for which they are eligible. These benefits include health care, housing counseling services, temporary financial assistance, transportation services, child care services, and legal services. This program allows for families (defined as a single person, or a family in which the head of household or the spouse of the head of household is a Veteran) to receive guidance and management to access to full range of community benefits available to maintain stable housing.
Eligible Applicants:
Nonprofit organization or community co-operatives are eligible to apply for SSVF funding.
Eligible Beneficiaries:
Veteran families who are very low-income (or currently homeless) and live in or recently resided in permanent housing are the beneficiaries of this program.
Funding Mechanism:
The first grant funding became available in December 2010, and these competitive grants will be awarded annually directly to the social service agency implementing the supportive service.

Washington lawyers are marking their calendars for the D.C. Courts' 36th Annual Judicial Conference. The theme this year is, "Implicit Bias: Recognizing It and Dismantling It."
More importantly, the featured keynote speaker is ... Linda Greenhouse, the New York Times's longtime Supreme Court reporter.
This is a topic that the speaker knows a lot about. After all, Greenhouse's particular biases are well-documented. But please, be fair. For all we know, her remarks will be autobiographical, reflective and expansive, as her recent "surprising" discovery that -- lo and behold! -- the Supreme Court is not a pro-corporate monolith, and that Justices Scalia and Thomas sometimes disagree.

Hey guys,
Soo.. yeah I've been on the forum for a year or so, but I never got around to doing an intro so here it is! been a Devils fan since the mid 90s. I first got into hockey when I turned on the TV as a kid and the first thing I saw was the brawl between the Avs vs Red Wings... i remember i just stood there, 5 inches from the screen and can't remember breathing or blinking. It was all a blur. but it was amazing.
Born and raised in Somerville, NJ and I got hometown pride so I started following and lovin the Devils. First Devils game I've been to was actually 2 years ago vs the Senators, and since then i've been to a handful of games including a homegame vs Rangers and Game 6 vs Canes', but yeah let's not talk about the game after that.. haha. This fall semester will be my last semester at Montclair State University where I will be completing my Bachelors in Communication.
Favorite Devil player? Clarkson
Favorite ex-Devil? Sergei Brylin
Favorite line? A-line of course
Most Hated Player? Avery/Pronger
Most Hated Team? Flyers/Canes (So what, I still got grudges haha.)
I never did this

Giant Bombcast 11/24/2015
Become Premium to Watch
Slick production values, solid controls, and tons of fan service can't make up for mediocre progression and a lack of content.
Fallout 4 may feel overly familiar to some, but there are plenty of places to go, people to see, and mutants to shoot, and most of those things are still exciting to visit, look at, and murder (though not necessarily in that order).
The occasionally extreme performance issues found in the console versions of Fallout 4 make those versions more difficult to recommend than their PC counterpart.
Game »
consists of 11 releases.
Released Jun 15, 2011

Groov is an XNA game. Use the left and right joysticks to maneuver the craft and fire musical bullets.

Audiosurf is a block-matching game that generates levels based on the rhythm and tempo of songs that the player loads from their hard drive.
Expanding on the foundation put in place by Retro-Evolved, Geometry Wars Galaxies takes this unique, colorful top-down shooter's formula to the next level, offering various additional modes, more levels, and even more fun.
Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved breaks out into its own game with an Xbox Live Arcade release that rejuvenated the dual-joystick shooter genre.
Save the last human family and blast as many robots as you can in this classic dual-joystick shooter from Williams Electronics.

School district needs to monitor spending
I'm all for the half-penny sales tax as long as we: (1.) Quit wasteful spending on technology that is too expensive, i.e., Windows support runs five to six times more than Mac support. Where's the common sense in continuing such waste? (2.) Quit the wasteful field trips, i.e., if students are having difficulty learning materials, not staying up with national standards, why are we out of the classroom? (3.) Keep this half-penny sales tax for five years. Make the district earn this every five years. Have the district demonstrate proper spending and common sense or lose the funding. My two cents for the half-penny.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The 800-pound gorilla took on a different form Saturday night. Turner Gill's job security was the $6 million buyout in the room Saturday at Arrowhead Stadium.
Both were hard to ignore.
There is wide speculation that Gill, Kansas' second-year coach, will be the next major-college coach fired following Missouri's 24-10 win over the Jayhawks. The former Nebraska star is 5-19 in two seasons in Lawrence.
Gill may be next up on the chopping block in a coaching silly season that figures to pick up momentum this week. Arizona just filled its opening. Ole Miss and North Carolina remain open. But the jobs at Illinois, Tennessee, Memphis, Arizona State and Ohio State could soon come open as well. According to reports, Urban Meyer is expected to formally announced any day as the new Buckeyes' coach.
Kansas, at times, has been laughably bad this season finishing 2-10 while threatening to set an NCAA record for average yards allowed (531.45, last in FBS). Six of the losses were by at least 30 points.
Names being tossed around already include Mike Leach, former South Florida coach Jim Leavitt and former Arizona coach Mike Stoops. Leach still is dealing with three active lawsuits following his December 2009 firing from Texas Tech. Leavitt left South Florida after being accused of laying hands on a player. Stoops' sideline demeanor was an issue at Arizona but his team also slumped badly toward the end. He was 41-50 in eight seasons.
"I think a positive is that our guys stuck together as a team," Gill said after his team blew a 10-0 lead. "They were truly a team inside and outside of the lockerroom. They played their hearts out."
It may not be enough. Gill was hired by former AD Lew Perkins and handed a five-year, $10 million guaranteed contract starting in 2010. If he were fired, Gill would be owed every cent of the remaining three years ($6 million). Some KU booster(s) will have to dig deep if they want a change. But it may be worth it at Kansas which has been able to tolerate mediocre football as long as it doesn't embarrass the basketball program.
It is embarrassing the basketball program, gaining national attention for all the wrong reasons.
"It's hard to turn something in two [years]," Kansas offensive coordinator Chuck Long said.
"We all understand three [years]. We all understand that [is a key time for a coach] … But we feel like 2012, 2013 could be good years for us."
Long has been in this situation himself. The former Heisman runner-up was 9-27 in three years as head coach at San Diego State.
"If that [two years] was the case they probably would have fired me too," Missouri coach Gary Pinkel said. "I wasn't the most popular guy in my first four years here … He's [Gill] a colleague and a friend. I don't think there is any way you can make a decision on a program in two seasons."

Deputies from the Harris County Sheriff's Office are investigating a shooting that left two people dead Saturday. Deputies responded to calls of a shooting at an apartment complex on Glenora near Fallbrook around 4:30 p.m.
When deputies arrived at the scene, two victims were found inside an upstairs unit at the Hastings Place apartments, one who was already dead.
The other victim was transported to Cy-Fair Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
"No apparent forced entry. When they got there the door was open," said Sergeant Greg Pinkins.
Pinkins said the motive was still undetermined.
"We are still trying to figure out if the gun play was between the two victims or if a third party was involved. However, a vehicle was seen leaving the apartment complex shortly after the shooting," said Pinkins.
The vehicle was described as dark colored sedan with four doors, possibly a black Impala.

God, our Holy Father, wants us (Christians) to spend the rest of our lives developing family characteristics. He wants to make us like Jesus Christ.How does this happen? When we were saved, we had a life-changing experience. He changed our life! How does Jesus Christ do that? Some say: "Just wait on the Lord." Others say: "If it is to be, it's up to me!" There are two parts, however, God's part and our part. It's a partnership that results in Christ-likeness. St. Paul says in Philippians 2: 12b-13: "Continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling. In verse 13, he says: "For it is God who works in you to will and to act according to His good purpose." Our Part: Notice it doesn't say, "work for" your salvation, but "work out." We know salvation is not of works (Eph. 2:8, 9). Paul is writing to Christians. He is saying develop what you already have. We must accept personal responsibility for our own spiritual growth. "With fear and trembling," not fear of our loving Father, but afraid of missing out on all God has made for us — we must take our salvation seriously because of its eternal implications. God's part: "For it is God who works in you." He is the engineer, the power to work change in us, He will enable us. We must choose to act, to get serious about our spiritual growth. There are three tools God uses to make us like Jesus. The Bible. In 2nd Timothy 3: 16-17, says: "All scripture is God breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness." Verse 17 says: "So that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." We must get into Bible study –– read, memorize and meditate — and think about what it says. We must work it into our hearts and minds. Romans 10:17 says, "Faith comes from hearing, and hearing the Word of God." We get faith getting into God's Word. The second tool God uses to make us like Jesus is His Holy Spirit. The Spirit is given to us Jesus when we accept Jesus as our savior. This is our power. Romans 8:11 says, "And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, He will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in you." This is the power we need to drop bad habits, develop new ones and change the way we think, and respond to situations the way Jesus would. (Please read 2nd Cor.3:18.) The third tool God uses to make us like Jesus is Circumstances. He uses problems, pressures, difficulties and stresses to mold and shape our character. Rom. 8:28-29 says, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purposes. Verse 29 adds, "For those God foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brothers." Not everything that happens to us is good, but God says He will use all that happens to us for good! Our problems come from sin, from a fallen world. Adam blew it! And from Satan, who wants to destroy us. On top of that, our poor decisions cause many problems. Next week, we will discuss an extremely important truth about following Jesus!

The Illusion of the American Frontier
From 03 November 2015 to 07 February 2016
Early booking is recommended
Known in the 20th century as Frans Hals and his Family, this image falls within the category known as he group portrait. A widely used genre in Holland, the first known example by Hals is The Banquet of the Officers of the Haarlem Militia Company of Saint George of 1616. This was followed by others of the same type including the Regents of the St. Elizabeth Hospital of 1641 and the two paintings of the Regents and Regentesses of the Old Men's Home, both of 1664. Considered one of the most brilliant portrait painters of his day, Hals was unrivalled in Haarlem where he worked throughout his career. The success of his portraits lies in the fact that he was able to update a model that had become outdated through the repeated use of visual conventions. In his group and individual portraits Hals captured poses and gestures with great spontaneity, particularly the expression of the faces, conveying a sense of the most natural and immediate moment. His lively portraits communicate the individual character of each model with enormous force in works imbued with a sense of vitality and optimism.
Over the course of his career Hals produced various family groups. These include the now cut down Family Group in a Landscape of around 1620 in the collection of Viscount Boyne, although the right part with three children is in the Musées royaux des Beaux-Arts de Belgique, Brussels. Painted fifteen years later is the Family Group in the Cincinatti Art Museum, which depicts a couple with their children against a more urban background. Closer to the present canvas in size and composition is Family Group in a Landscape in the National Gallery, London.
The earliest known reference to this canvas dates back to the 18th century when it seems to have belonged to William Bristow who died in 1758. It was later recorded with the heirs of John Warde until it was acquired privately by the art dealer Joseph Duveen in 1909. In the following year it was acquired by the American banker Otto H. Kahn who paid an enormously high price for it, a fact commented on in the British press at the time. In 1935 it was in the Mogmar Art Foundation in New York, at which point it was acquired for the Thyssen-Bornemisza collection via the Mercuria gallery in Lucerne.
The fact that the couple depicted here are holding hands and looking at each other with great affection has led to the suggestion that the painting contains a reference to loyalty as one of the virtues of marriage. This idea is based on one of Alciati's emblems on marriage — number cxc, On the fidelity of Spouses — in which the man and wife link their right hands in a sign of faith and confidence in a way similar to the present painting. The dog, which in Alciati's emblem is located below the couple, here appears next to the daughter and is a symbol of fidelity. In the emblem, the love that should exist between the couple is represented by an apple, which is not present in Hals' painting. Alciati comments on the apple: "This is the image of fidelity. If it is fed by Venus' fire, it is recommended that a branch of apples appears on the left, as they are Venus' fruit: Atalanta used them to defeat Hippomenes and Galatea to pursue her beloved". Slive drew attention to the relationship between Alciati's emblem and the present painting. He also suggested that Pieter de Molijn executed the extensive landscape on the right as he noted differences between the style of the figures and that of the large open landscape with sky.
Hals constructed the figures with a bold, fluid brushstroke that carefully conveys their attitudes and poses. The faces are painted using a more precise, smooth brushstroke, emphasised with black lines in the eyes, noses and cheekbones that add greater expressivity. The depiction of the clothes and the marvellous rendering of the husband's boots, all painted with long, loose brushstrokes that convey the textures of the different materials in a range of greys and ochres, are characteristic of Hals' finest manner.

|Cardiopulmonary, blood metabolite and rating of perceived exertion responses to constant exercises performed at different intensities until exhaustion.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21464149 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Objective This study analysed cardiopulmonary, metabolic and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) responses during exercise bouts performed below, at and above the second lactate threshold (LT2) intensity. Methods 10 healthy men performed constant workloads to exhaustion at the first lactate threshold (LT1), LT2 and 25% of the difference between LT2 and maximal aerobic power output (TW(25%)) identified during an incremental test. The time to exhaustion (TE) was 93.8 (18.0), 44.5 (16.0) and 22.8 (10.6) min at LT1, LT2 and TW(25%), respectively (p < 0.001). Metabolic and cardiopulmonary parameters and RPE data were time normalised to the exercise bout duration. The correlation between the slope of these variables and TE was calculated. Results Differences were found for respiratory exchange ratio (RER), RPE and potassium at LT1; RER, RPE, norepinephrine and potassium at LT2; and ventilation, respiratory rate (RR), RPE, lactate and potassium at TW(25%). Except for RR, no cardiopulmonary or metabolic parameter increased significantly after 50% of the exercise duration, indicating a physiological steady state. VO(2), heart rate and lactate at exhaustion in all exercise bouts were significantly lower than values reached in the maximal incremental test. The slope of most metabolic variables was not correlated to TE in LT1, LT2 and TW(25%), whereas the slope of RPE was significantly correlated to TE (r = -0.72 to -0.84; p < 0.05) for the three exercise intensities. Conclusion Contrary to traditional suggestions, exercise at LT1, LT2 and TW(25%) intensities is performed and terminated in the presence of an overall physiological steady state.

Not quite what I was expecting. Lots of shadows, which don't appear in the photo. Have to return item because it will not do for a present.Read More
I'm highly disappointed in this ring, I got it hoping that it would match my engagement ring that has blue diamonds in it, and the diamonds in this are just much much darker, accompanied by a black backing in the gold itself, it's just way too dark for my taste. I seemed to have drawn a bad number on the diamonds here. I'm returning it for something else.Read More

I purchased this ring because I wanted something different, not the traditional diamond & I must say, it's just that. This ring is beautiful & shines in every light & the band is just wide enough & not to thin. I purchased this along with the 3/4 carat blue solitaire & I must say they match perfectly! You will not be disappointed with your purchase!Read More
This is a lovely, narrow band ring. Just what I wanted for daily wear as it is smooth and low. The small diamonds have a lovely sparkle to them and aren't too dark either. Truly an excellent blue diamond ring. Only one caution - it might get you so much in love with blue diamonds that you will want another larger blue diamond ring. I do!! :)Read More
I was more than thrilled when I opened up my envelope last week. This is a gorgeous ring! I am getting married this summer and wanted a band to go with my ultra-gorgeous engagement band, but that was a little different - this ring exceeded my expectations! So much so that I am wearing it now and have told my fiance that he will just have to order me another! I am not taking this one off!! The blue stones change hue depending on the light, they sparkle like crazy, they are just beautiful. I love the channel setting because I am not scratching anyone or getting prongs caught in my hair or on sweaters etc, and it totally matched the channel setting of my engagement ring. The stones are a decent size and I think the value far exceeds the cost. Very nice to have such a unique ring as part of my set.Read More

Along the track of Emiratisation, the Ministry says that the issue cannot be solved overnight but important factors must first be highlighted and recognised...
October 1, 2012 9:52 by Muhammad Aldalou
As the government bodies in the UAE continue to push for the Emiratisation programme to bloom, aimed at reducing the national reliance on government employment, Kipp hears that they are facing an up-hill battle.
"There is a category of Emiratis sitting at home despite the large number of jobs provided, whether in the public or private sector," says Mona Al Za'abi, chief executive of corporate and support services at the ministry, quoted by The National. "They are comfortable with their situations and have become too dependent."
Ministry officials explain that in spite of the widely available and diverse work vacancies, there are thousands of Emirati women who choose to receive social allowances instead. The Ministry said that of the 14,000 Emirati women receiving social allowances, 85 percent of them are refusing to find employment.
As the Ministry says and as Kipp very well knows, an issue like this can hardly ever be solved overnight and the United Arab Emirates is certainly not the first the country in the world to face the challenge of motivating its nationals to join the workforce. Dependency on social benefits in the United States and many European countries as the residents find no motivation to work, has been higher than ever.
However, in spite of the shockingly high percentage of nationals allegedly refusing to work, there are also many cultural and social reasons between the rejection as well. According to the Ministry, it is not only financial motives that determine the decision to work, for the most common reasons have turned out to be lack of transport, disapproving siblings or parents and long shifts that they are unable to accommodate.
"If we could create jobs that are convenient for those job seekers are socially acceptable and near them, such as call centres in the Northern Emirates, through providing facilities for private companies, these could encourage them," said Mr Mulla, executive director of the Emirates Nationals Development programme,
"What we need to do is to make the rewards of working much higher than the rewards of staying at home," Mr Al Mulla said. "It is when we will succeed."
All in all, the Emiratisation programme is on track and has achieved a good record considering the short period of focus, but Kipp believes that the issue also lies in the lack of preparation that Nationals receive during their school years.
