PARIS Top-ranked Roger Federer moved closer to an elusive French Open title when he beat Romanian Victor Hanescu 6-2, 7-6 (3), 6-3 Tuesday to reach the semifinals at Roland Garros for the first time.
Federer, whose previous best result on the Paris
clay was a quarterfinal appearance in 2001, became the second
active player behind Andre Agassi to have reached the
semifinals at four consecutive Grand Slam events.
"Being in the semifinals for the first time here is great,"
said top-seeded Federer, who has yet to drop a set.
"I'm very satisfied with my game and my form so far. I feel
I have plenty of energy left. I'm glad to be able to prove that
I can do well in this tournament."
The elegant Swiss, who has won every Grand Slam tournament
except this one, now meets Nadal in what could be one of the great matches of 2005.
"I guess it's 50-50 who will win," Nadal said, looking ahead
to his match against top seed Federer on Friday, when he will be
hoping to celebrate his 19th birthday by reaching his first
Grand Slam final.
"I will play my own way, with lots of fight. I'm very calm
now, more than when I came here, because I know I'm playing at a
very good level."
Gifted Nadal confirmed he could shatter Federer's dreams
of his first triumph in the French capital when he crushed
fellow Spaniard David Ferrer 7-5, 6-2, 6-0 to reach the last four.
"Well, everybody's been looking forward a little bit to this
one with both of us for the first time in the semifinals of a
French Open," Federer said.
"It's going to be really interesting to see. For me, it's a
big moment. It's one of those chances, you know, to maybe walk
away with the title here. But I've still got two tough matches."
Federer, who often has struggled at the French, losing in the first round
in two of the last three years, has a chance to become
the sixth man in history to win all four Grand Slam titles.
After winning the first set easily, Federer underlined his
determination by fighting back from a break down in the second
to force a tie break, which he took 7-3 with a service winner on
set point.
No. 90 Hanescu who, like Federer, is 23 mounted a brave
challenge in that second set but then collapsed, with Federer
building a 5-1 lead in the third set to serve for the match.
Federer then showed signs of nerves for the first time, wasting
two match points and losing his serve after committing three
double faults.
When the Swiss star served for the match again, Hanescu survived another
match point before bowing out by hitting a forehand long after
just over two hours of play.
Nadal, who is bidding to become the first player to win the clay Grand Slam on his first try since Mats Wilander in 1982, saved a set point in the first set before stamping his authority on the match.
Ferrer, the last Spaniard to beat Nadal on clay, needed treatment on his back in the second set. His younger opponent showed no mercy as he unleashed his full repertoire of shots, clinching victory in 2 hours, 8 minutes.
Ferrer had beaten champion Gaston Gaudio in the previous
round, coming back from 4-0 down in the fifth set to win a match
lasting more than four hours.
He was a match for Nadal in the opening set and had the
youngster in trouble at 15-40 in the 10th game as Nadal served
to stay in the first set.
Nadal showed exactly why he has become such a formidable
force this year by saving both set points, and another later in
the game, and immediately broke Ferrer's serve before clinching
the opener in 66 minutes.
From then on Ferrer, the third most successful player this
year on clay, was chasing shadows as Nadal romped away to a 15th
successive victory against fellow Spaniards.
Fourth-seeded Nadal has won 22 consecutive matches, all on clay, including Masters Series titles in Monte Carlo and Rome.

Santa Fe Indian Market financial state questioned
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — The city of Santa Fe's biggest tourist draw is also drawing concerns about its current financial state, the New Mexican reported (http://bit.ly/1jvGMx7) Saturday.
The Southwestern Association for Indian Arts (SWAIA), which sponsors the market every August, shortened employees' work-weeks and reduced benefits this year. Factoring in recent staff resignations, some have been speculating about the financing of the annual Santa Fe Indian Market.
Three key workers, including chief operating officer John Torrez Nez, resigned and recently announced their own arts market taking place the same weekend.
Still, some business owners [auth] said they question why the organization has not reached out for contributions with all the budget cuts going on.
Bronwyn Fox-Bern, a gallery owner and a member of SWAIA, said the organization hasn't been very open about financial issues or need for donations in the last couple of years.
"I was ready to give auction donations, more money for awards, and nobody ever approached me," Fox-Bern said. "I thought there were some wasted opportunities."
John Dressman, who operates Santa Fe Trading Co. downtown, said the group shouldn't be shy about soliciting donations. People in Santa Fe, in fact, appreciate being approached in person.
"Santa Fe is that kind of town," Dressman said. "That kind of personal touch is what is going to be required."
Gov. Susana Martinez earlier this year vetoed $25,000 that lawmakers had earmarked for advertising the market. Now, the funds are administered as grants by the state Department of Tourism. In an interview before his resignation, Torres Nez said that the Indian Market did not receive $75,000 total from requests made in 2011 and 2012 from the tourism and cultural affairs departments. Jolene Mauer, a Department of Tourism spokeswoman, said the agency's records show SWAIA has not applied for grants in the past three years.
Charlene Porsild, SWAIA chief development officer, said Friday that they have applied for a grant in the next funding cycle. Porsild said she is also working to recruit more business memberships into the organization. She declined to discuss why businesses may have been overlooked before but "we are asking right now, and we would love for (them) to support us."
No other event brings as much revenue to the city, tourism officials said. The market is held out on the Plaza and generates about $140 million in spending through sales of art, food, lodging and other miscellaneous expenses.
"I don't think there's anything that touches it," said Randy Randall director of the Santa Fe Convention and Visitors Bureau. "It's the highest demand period of the year."
According to Randall, visitors at the market spend more time in Santa Fe than most other tourists. While the average tourist pays for 2.6 days of lodging, that figure goes up to four days during Indian Market season.
The SWAIA last week announced the hiring of Dallin Maybee, an attorney and artist, as a new chief operating officer.

I can't seem to find any documentation on the subject. I'm working on putting together a linux install for a fairly "dirty" environment. Best practice there would be a statically compiled kernel with no module support. I can already do the customizations to strip out unnecessary drivers/etc to get the performance and disable module support. Does anyone have a link or any ideas on how to get the Oracle Virtualbox module (not the OSE one, I need USB passthrough) compiled in?
I seriously doubt they do provide this, nor that they would see it worth the effort to create such version of the driver. That's because hardly anyone would benefit from a built-in version, because it requires much more complicated building procedure (must be done together building the whole kernel, which has to be patched beforehand). For the dev team, it is also easier to maintain a module version.

This paper presents a parametric and non-parametric analysis of data from a contingent valuation study (CVM) conducted to estimate environmental use and passive use losses due to the Prestige oil spill. This is the first CVM study conducted in Europe after a large oil spill. The CVM survey was implemented using in person interviews. Mean willingness to pay (WTP) values were computed with both, a parametric and non-parametric approach. Parametric WTP estimation indicates that respondents in the sample are willing to pay about 40.51 € per household to avoid a similar future oil spill in Spain. This implies that on average, the Spanish society places a value of the environmental losses caused by the Prestige oil spill around 574 € million. Non-parametric estimates are slightly higher at 58.08 € per household. WTP results are similar to those obtained in the Exxon Valdez study.

Rock, Chalk, Underdog
Should Kansas upset Ohio State Saturday, the Jayhawks would likely meet Kentucky in the NCAA tournament final, where the odds of a win would be considerably worse.
For those of us who are familiar with the program's history of defying—and disappointing—expectations, all I can say is: whew. That's a big relief.
As a favorite, Kansas has compiled a long record of tournament embarrassments, losing under Bill Self to the likes of Bucknell and Bradley, and under Roy Williams to UTEP and Rhode Island. Heavily favored in the 2003 final, Kansas lost to Syracuse (pictured).
But as an underdog, the Jayhawks excel. Its national championship in 1988 came as a No. 6 seed; since then, no seed lower than a four has won it all. In the 2008 Final Four, Kansas upset North Carolina in the semifinal game, then did the same to Memphis in the final, coming back from nine down with 2:12 remaining in regulation to claim the title in overtime.
To this native Kansan, that dysfunctional relationship with success seems quintessentially Midwestern. Getting too big for one's britches is discouraged in the heartland, where pride always cometh before a fall. The debacle of Missouri's fall this season to No. 15-seeded Norfolk State was predictable: The Tigers had it coming for whining about being seeded No. 2 instead of No. 1.
Remembering one's place is a virtue in the Midwest, and in the Midwest one's place is not on top. It's in the middle. This makes any No. 1 ranking feel like a curse. As a No. 1 seed, the Jayhawks have done something no other team since 1985 can match: It has fallen three times in the second round. In 2010, the Jayhawks were the top-ranked team in the nation when they fell in the second round to Northern Iowa.
Yet if being on top seems vaguely immoral in the Midwest, there's certainly no shame attached to bringing down supposedly superior others. In fact, nothing gives greater pleasure in the Midwest than putting overconfident opponents in their place. In the 1985 World Series, when Kansas City went down three games to one to St. Louis, George Brett declared, "We've got 'em right where we want 'em." Sure enough, the Royals proceeded to win the title.
That Ohio State—a team with a lower national ranking, a team the Jayhawks defeated in December—is the designated favorite Saturday makes perfect sense in light of Kansas history.
But if the Buckeyes win, we Kansans will take consolation in having lost to a Midwestern school.

Matt Damon Wants to Know If Sarah Palin Believes There Were Dinosaurs 4,000 Years Ago
America's other action hero has a couple of simple questions for McCain's V.P.
Sometimes it's funny to listen to celebrities talk about politics. Sometimes it's offensive. And sometimes, it's just nice to hear an honest opinion from someone you feel like you know. During an interview with the Associated Press, a reporter asked Matt Damon what he thought about Sarah Palin. He responded by voicing his fears that, in all likelihood, she could be put in the presidency soon enough. The video is after the jump, but here's the money line:
It's like a really bad Disney movie. You know? The hockey mom, 'Oh I'm just a hockey mom from Alaska,' and she's the PRESIDENT, and it's like she's facing down Vladamir Putin and using the folksy stuff she learned at the hockey rink. It's absurd, it's totally absurd, and I don't understand why more people aren't talking about how absurd it is. It's a terrifying possibility. The fact that we've gotten this far and we're that close to this being a reality is crazy.
I need to know if she really think that dinosaurs were here 4,000 years ago. I want to know that, I really do. Because she's gonna have the nuclear codes.
We have to say, we completely disagree with Matt Damon on a major point here. Those Disney movies aren't really bad. They're totally awesome! Just one viewing of A Kid in King Arthur's Court will have you voting for Sarah Palin in no time.

Have Georgian on your mind?
£2.8m country home is recently renovated and a lovely spot close to West Cork and city
Published 19/03/2014 | 02:30
Garryhankard House, located at Upton, near Inishannon in Co Cork, is a palatial Georgian country home recently renovated and is now on the market for a cool €2.8m.
The house is set on an elevated site surrounded by 38ac of land laid out in paddocks and serviced by a state-of-the art stable yard.
Located 21kms from Cork, 8km from Bandon and 2.5km from Inishannon, Garryhankard is described by Celia Lamb of Ganly Walters as one of the finest houses in Cork.
Built in the early 1800s for the Rev Somers Payne, the house changed ownership twice during the next 90 years until, towards the end of the 19th century, it became the parochial house for the Catholic clergy of Innishannon.
The building included an oratory where mass was said and where many locals were baptised or married.
In the 1990s, Garryhankard was sold to a private owner who carried out extensive renovation work extending the property to include among the new facilities, a 24.9m indoor swimming pool.
The stud at Garyhankard was established in 2001 when an adjoining 40ac dairy farm was purchased and converted into a top class equestrian establishment.
In carrying out the work, tremendous attention was paid to detail and every effort was made to ensure the finished product remained true to the heritage and provenance of the house.
Equally meticulous work was completed outside, where the gardens and parkland are worthy of Versailles.
The residence, although grand in every sense of the word, very much feels like a family home. The accommodation is a combination of spacious and more intimate reception rooms that are bright and well proportioned.
The décor is characterised by plasterwork in the neo-classical style, popular in the big houses of the late 18th century.
Other features include parquet floors, marble columns, carved stone and original fireplaces, fine ornate plasterwork ceilings and walls, wood paneling and sash windows. Many of the rooms lead out to the terraces and gardens.
The accommodation in the main house includes a reception hall, sitting room, study, kitchen, utility room, dining room, drawing room, breakfast room, billiards room, atrium, various store rooms and a lift.
The indoor swimming pool complex has a jacuzzi, steam room, changing rooms, showers, WC and a conservatory. The sleeping accommodation extends to eight en-suite bedrooms.
Ancillary accommodation includes a two-bedroom gate lodge at the front gates, a three-bedroom coach house by the stable yard, a two-bedroom staff cottage and a large office suite to the rear of the main house. All these are renovated and refurbished
The 38.85ac of land with Garryhankard house is laid out in 10 paddocks, all in grass and divided by stud fencing and independently watered. The land, which has plenty of natural shelter from the many mature trees, is described as top quality, free draining, limestone ground suitable for livestock, bloodstock or tillage. The house and yards are situated at the heart of the farm.
The stable courtyard and the equestrian facilities are second to none and include 26 stables, four foaling boxes, tack and feed rooms, a staff cloakroom, an office, a barn, a workshop, a six-bay horse walker, a 2.5 furlong sand gallop, a sand arena and the 10 stud fenced paddocks.
Garryhankard is a truly lovely spot and given its proximity to Cork city and West Cork, it should attract a range of buyers, from people in the tourism sector to those in search of a substantial private residence within shouting distance of the 'real capital'.

First of all thank you for a great plugin.
I tried it yesterday and found out some strange behavior.
Let's say I have User_A and User_B. I also have the "Logged in users can initiate private chat: enabled" and "Guest users can initiate private chat: disabled".
However when User_A has a private chat with User_B and then logs out, the Guest_X user can still see the popup window of chat initiated by User_A (who has just logged out) and the entire conversation!
Moreover, when another user logins in the same browser he also can see that private chat popup window and the entire conversation.
Is that a bug or I am doing something wrong? Please advise. Thank you.

BlackRock Says Withdrawals to Weigh on Asset Growth
BlackRock Inc., the world's biggest money manager, said growth in assets under management will be curbed into next year by redemptions related to its acquisition of Barclays Global Investors.
BlackRock, which more than doubled the amount it manages with the Dec. 1 acquisition of BGI, fell as much as 3.8 percent in New York after saying clients who previously invested with both firms withdrew $34.4 billion in third quarter and may continue to pull out money in the next two quarters. About half of that amount, or $17 billion, was from one pension fund.
Assets under management rose 9.4 percent to $3.45 trillion from the previous quarter, helped by the best September for U.S. stocks in 71 years and $15.6 billion in net deposits, mostly into fixed-income funds that track indexes. Chief Executive Officer Laurence D. Fink said selling of dollar-based assets may hurt asset growth into next year as clients seek to invest in stronger, higher-yielding currencies.
"People thought the cross-selling opportunities would be immediate and there'd be a huge ramp-up in cross-selling this year and it didn't materialize," said Greggory Warren, equity analyst at Chicago-based Morningstar Inc.
Net income rose 74 percent in the quarter, to $551 million, or $2.83 a share, from $317 million, or $2.27, a year earlier, the New York-based company said today in a statement. Excluding certain one-time costs, BlackRock earned $2.75 a share, compared with the $2.46 average estimate of 12 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg.
'Distinct Turn'
Excluding merger-related withdrawals, BlackRock won $50.1 billion in new assets. Fink said today in a conference call for analysts and investors that he is "very excited" about the deposits into BlackRock's funds as the firm is ahead of its schedule for integrating the unit acquired from Barclays Plc.
"We've seen a distinct turn from the first half of the year," Jeffrey Hopson, an analyst with Stifel Nicolaus & Co. in St. Louis, said in an interview. Hopson expected BlackRock to earn $2.39 a share, excluding some costs, and rates the stock "buy."
Excluding merger-related withdrawals, BlackRock gathered $25.9 billion in deposits into its equity index products during the quarter. Investors removed $4.3 billion from actively managed stock funds and merger-related withdrawals were $30.5 billion during the quarter. Fixed-income funds attracted $26.7 billion, mainly into index products, while merger-related withdrawals were $3.1 billion.
September Gain
Revenue rose 84 percent to $2.09 billion, driven by a near doubling of fees that BlackRock earns for managing assets and performance fees for beating certain benchmarks. Expenses rose 77 percent to $1.39 billion, as compensation and administrative costs increased.
BlackRock declined $5.12, or 2.9 percent, to $169.51 at 4:15 p.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading, bringing losses this year to 27 percent. The 201-member Russell 1000 Financial Services Index rose 1.2 percent and is up 2.4 percent since the start of the year.
BlackRock had gained 16 percent through yesterday since Sept. 14, when Fink said the firm was seeing "very strong" client deposits.
"A lot of the good news that came out in today's results was already baked into the stock," said Morningstar's Warren. "The stock got ahead of itself."
BlackRock was co-founded by Fink in 1988 as a fixed-income firm and has expanded through a series of acquisitions.
Foreclosure Freeze
In 2005, BlackRock bought State Street Research & Management to add more stock, real estate and hedge funds. In 2006, it expanded its equity business with the purchase of Merrill Lynch & Co.'s money-management unit. In 2008, the firm acquired a division of Quellos Group LLC to add hedge-fund assets. The Dec. 1 purchase of BGI was its largest takeover.
BlackRock, the biggest manager of fixed-income assets in the world, is part of a group of investors seeking to force Bank of America Corp. to buy back bad home loans packaged into securities. Pacific Investment Management Co. and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York have joined BlackRock in pushing for relief following a foreclosure freeze this past month.
BlackRock's most important job is to look out for investors who bought mortgage securities, Fink said today. He declined to comment on BlackRock's involvement in asking lenders to repurchase bad loans.

Town to sell vacant house for $1August 20,2013
Town selling
vacant home for $1
ST. JOHNSBURY A Vermont town is planning to sell a dilapidated vacant house for $1 so it can be demolished and a new house built on the site.
The town of St. Johnsbury acquired the St. Mary Street property after it failed to sell at a tax sale.
The Burlington-based Vermont Housing Finance Agency offered to buy the property, demolish the house, build an affordable single family house, and sell it.
The Caledonian-Record reported that the selectmen unanimously supported the proposal with the stipulation the agency must construct the new home within three years.
Select Board Chairman Kevin Oddy said the program is a viable way for the community to add to its tax roll and erase an eyesore.MORE IN This Just In

Subjective Tests on Audio Mix Dedicated to MP3 Coding
Over the past years the Internet has become very popular as a means of distributing audio. MP3 coded audio is present in the Internet, in a bus, in the broadcast. Sound engineers agree, that there can often be a lack of control over the downstream processing that is applied to final material. The aim of the presented work is to compare audio mixes dedicated to CD format and converted to MP3 format with MP3-dedicated productions and to evaluate them.

This review is from: Intel BOXDH61DLB3 LGA 1155 Intel H61 USB 3.0 Mini ITX Intel Motherboard
Pros: I don't own this board yet, but I'm seriously considering because of the Pro below, y'know.
As near as I can tell, the only socket 1155 mini-ITX board with a PCI express X1 socket rather than an X16 socket. This makes very good sense to me given that the Intel on-board video is supposed to be good enough that you don't need to add on a video board in an X16 socket (unless you're a mondo gamer, which I'm not). I want an X1 socket for a firewire expansion card: it's getting harder to find firewire on PC boards and I've got a high-end audio interface that requires it.
Cons: What the #&(*#$^ are they thinking putting a parallel printer port on this board? Sheesh: what are you going to find to plug into that these days? And why no HDMI video out port?READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: MSI P6NGM-FIH LGA 775 NVIDIA GeForce 7150 HDMI Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros: Feels very fast with Core2 Duo e8400. Can't comment on 3D graphics speed since I'm not a gamer, but response is otherwise very nice.
Cons: Doesn't have DVI port. Doesn't have dual-channel memory support. Doesn't have optical S/PDIF digital audio out. All of the above are supported by GIGABYTE GA-73PVM-S2H at about same price. Also manual is very poorly written with misleading instructions about how to get into RAID setup. I could have sworn that the product description when I read it said it had a DVI port, and others are saying that the description said it supported dual channel RAM.
Other Thoughts: Go with GIGABYTE GA-73PVM-S2H instead.READ FULL REVIEW

Mpinga Mornings is a one-person play told from the perspective of three Rhodesian-born (now Zimbabwe) characters – a farmer's wife, her daughter and their domestic worker.
