Deserving and Undeserving Victims
Do victims of the violence in Darfur deserve less sympathy than Haitians whose lives were upended by an earthquake?
Well, that's what they get, suggests a study that's forthcoming in the European Journal of Social Psychology. The study identifies a tendency to view the victims of natural disasters with more approval and empathy than the victims of man-made calamities, and it also finds that people are more willing to donate money to the victims of natural disasters.
In one part of the study, British students read one of two versions of a (fake) article describing the efforts of a (fictitious) charity, whose focus was famine. One group read that natural drought was the primary cause of famine and that the number of people starving, worldwide, was in the millions. A second group got the same statistics but learned that famine typically breaks out when armed conflict disrupts agricultural systems. Questions then probed whether students thought the famine victims deserved any blame for their suffering.
On a scale of 1 to 7, with 1 equating with utter innocence, the "victim blame" score was 1.87 when the disaster was presented as entirely natural and 2.69 when it was framed as a byproduct of conflict. The victims of the natural disaster were also viewed as being more active in trying to help themselves (5.3 versus 4.6, again on a 7-point scale), although there was no reason to conclude this.
In a clever twist, students had the option of donating a portion of their £3 study-participation fee to the cause. If they'd been told famine is caused by natural events, they gave, on average, £2.32. Told it had roots in conflict, they donated £1.77.

The Artist Project in Toronto
The Queen Elizabeth Building venue at Exhibition Place is large but not nearly as overwhelming as the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, where the Interior Design Show (IDS) and Toronto International Art Fair are held. We love being able to meet, speak with and buy directly from artists. Features of the show include the Untapped Emerging Artists Competition, with the work of 16 emerging artists on display and Installation Alley, with its large-scale sculpture, conceptual art and installation pieces.

JACKSON -- The newest component of the disaster preparedness/response network for the Southeast Missouri Region, the Weapons of Mass Destruction Team, was formally introduced at a meeting at the City of Jackson Fire Rescue Station.
"The purpose of the meeting was to first introduce the team, and then network, exchange information and discuss procedures regarding a unified response to the heightened fears of possible terrorist activities," said Brad Golden, fire chief of the Jackson Rescue and one of the coordinators of the WMD team.
Those present at the meeting included fire and law enforcement representatives from Jackson, Sikeston and Cape Girardeau along with personnel from the St. Francis Medical Center, Southeast Missouri Hospital, Cape Girardeau Health Department, Cape Girardeau County Sheriff's Department, FBI, state and local emergency management agencies and Southeast Missouri State University.
"Fortunately, the number of terrorist or anthrax-related incidents reported across the country is not occurring in our region," said Drew Juden, director of Sikeston DPS and co-coordinator of the WMD team. "However, we want to be proactive, act as an advisory group to local response efforts and assure everyone that the WMD team will be prepared if called upon.
"Local law enforcement has handled and will continue to handle any initial calls for assistance, but we felt a need to discuss the recommended procedures with all response agencies."
The FBI confirmed that the number of incidents in Southeast Missouri has been minimal. The nearest area of activity is in and around St. Louis.
Hospital and health department representatives reviewed the current information sheets available on possible biological and chemical threats at the Wednesday meeting.
"The public needs to understand the nature of these agents, such as anthrax, and become informed," said Marcie Abernathy, emergency room director for St. Francis Medical Center.
"According to medical literature, anthrax is not contagious and difficult to aerosolize as it must be to infect an individual," said Charlotte Craig, director of Cape Girardeau Public Health. "It is treated successfully if antibiotics are started immediately after known exposure. Local health departments in the state of Missouri are in the process of expanding and enhancing a weekly disease surveillance system to include more sites surveyed.
Craig said the surveying has been successful for many years and is effective in catching disease outbreaks, which will provide the medical community with early warning of anything unusual occurring.
Local officials continue to stress that the general public should stay calm and not panic.
"The key is to be cautious and report any unusual activities to law enforcement who have procedures to follow up on the report," Golden said.

Take a sneak peek at the new NIST.gov and let us know what you think!
(Please note: some content may not be complete on the beta site.).
The NIST Frequency Measurement and Analysis Service (FMAS) makes it easy to measure and calibrate any quartz, rubidium, cesium, or hydrogen maser frequency standard. The service can measure any frequency from 1 Hz to 120 MHz in 1 Hz increments. This means you can measure standard output frequencies like 5 and 10 MHz, telecommunication frequencies like 1.544, 2.048, and 51.84 MHz, and even 1 Hz timing pulses. As many as five devices can be measured and calibrated at once, even if all five have different output frequencies. And since the FMAS uses Global Positioning System (GPS) signals as its reference frequency, it will work anywhere on earth. All measurements are made automatically, and are traceable to the International System (SI) of units through UTC(NIST) at an uncertainty of 2 x 10-13 per day. The service is listed in the BIPM's key comparison database.
Subscribers to the NIST service receive a complete frequency measurement system which includes everything needed to make precision frequency measurements that are traceable to NIST. An easy-to-read instruction manual makes installation a snap. Once the system is installed, it's easy to get started. Simply plug in the frequency standards you want to measure, and connect the system to a dedicated phone line. Up to five frequency standards can be measured and calibrated at once. The phone line allows NIST personnel to call your system, verify and analyze your data, and quickly troubleshoot any problems that may occur. If any part of the system fails, NIST quickly replaces it using an overnight delivery service.
The system uses GPS signals as a reference frequency. The GPS signals provide traceability to NIST, since the same GPS signals received by subscribers are received at NIST and compared to the national frequency standard. The GPS receiver is software controlled and requires no operator attention. Your only requirement is to mount a small antenna in a location which has a clear view of the sky.
The measurement system blends commercially-available equipment with hardware and software developed at NIST. Measurements are made using a time interval counter with a single shot resolution of less than 30 picoseconds. The software completely automates the measurement process. It presents the measurement data in a clear, easy-to-understand format.
While measurements are being made, a full-color bar graph displays the performance of each frequency standard over the last 24 hours. This bar graph is updated every hour. It lets you see at a glance how well each standard is performing. Every 24 hours (at a time that you select) the system prints a full-page graph of each standard's performance. The graph documents the calibration in case questions arise in the future. You can also print a statistical summary of the data, or a listing of the data in tabular form.
The software allows you to graph the performance of a frequency standard over periods ranging from 2 seconds to 150 days. An array of powerful graphing features let you display the data in a variety of fashions: you can increase or decrease the scale of the y-axis, or "zoom in" on sections of the graph to show as much detail as possible. Plus, a powerful FILTER feature is included that automatically removes outliers and phase steps if you choose to do so.
All data recorded by the system is stored on a solid state disk. At any time, you can retrieve and graph past data recorded by the system. This gives you a permanent history of all frequency calibrations made by your laboratory.
NIST regularly checks each system by modem to insure proper operation. NIST verifies the data from each system, and mails each subscriber a monthly calibration report that certifies that their primary frequency standard is traceable to NIST. The calibration report includes a graph of the primary standard's performance, and a statement of measurement uncertainty.
NIST assesses the quality of the FMAS every five years, and a documented quality system for the service is maintained in compliance with the ISO 17025 standard. The service complies with the requirements of NVLAP (National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program), and FMAS subscribers who seek accreditation in the frequency calibration field can reduce or eliminate the proficiency testing and on-site assessment fees charged by NVLAP. In addition, the FMAS is internationally recognized by the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM) and is included in their Key Comparison Database (KCDB).
The FMAS is a welcome addition to any laboratory that performs frequency calibrations. The service provides a complete solution to all frequency measurement and calibration problems.

You should have a script in your Home directory named runLimeWire. Set up
a shortcut with that as the command.

Read the forum rules: here
If you are looking for help with the Apple TV 2 (black) then you need the iOS forum instead of the OS X forum. Please see here.
XBMC all platforms FAQ
FAQs that apply to all versions of XBMC.
XBMC for Mac specific FAQ
Mac OS X and Mac hardware specific FAQs.
XBMC for Apple TV 1 (silver) FAQ
Apple TV specific FAQs, including original ATV OS (Mac OS) and Linux-based OSes on Apple TV 1.
BEFORE POSTING, PLEASE LOOK OVER THE FAQs FIRST.
HOW-TO post about a XBMC for Mac or Apple TV problem in a useful manner
Again, be sure to read over the FAQ before posting to make sure your question/issue isn't answered there.
From v12 onward XBMC is Intel/i386 only (PPC support has been dropped) and requires Mac OS X 10.6. Apple TV 1 users will need to use a Linux-based OS, as the original ATV OS is based on Mac OS X 10.4.
These are unstable pre-release builds and are not for the faint of heart. Expect there to be bugs! If you have issues and want to post about them/get help then you MUST include debug logs, etc.
Nightly builds:
Monthly snapshots:
Monthly snapshot builds are also available that are more stable than Nightly builds, but may still contain bugs and evolving features:
As always, be sure to backup your userdata (wiki) folder regularly when playing with nightlies or monthlies.
You can go back to stable XBMC v12 by installing over the nightly build, just as you would for an update.

BMW To Roll Out X3 SUV With 4-Cylinder Engine
BMW AG said it will begin selling a version of its X3 sport-utility vehicle with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. The move is part of a continuing shift at BMW toward focusing on fuel economy and overall efficiency – what BMW calls its EfficientDynamics strategy.
The move would have been nearly unthinkable a decade ago or even a few years ago, when BMW and other car makers seemed convinced that U.S. drivers were not interested in anything with fewer than six cylinders. This was especially true for luxury brands, for which big engines and high horsepower had long been the currency of status.
The German car company has already rolled out or announced four cylinder versions of cars including the Z4 and 3 Series. But switching to a "four-banger" in an SUV suggests the small-engine trend is here to stay.
While X3s previously came only with six-cylinder engines because of their higher power, the coming model, called the X3 xDrive28i, will have more power than some earlier models with larger engines. The new engine uses turbocharging to help it put out 240 horsepower.
For people familiar with BMW's early days in the sport-sedan business, the new four-cylinder marks the company's return to its roots. After all, it built its reputation in the 1960s and 1970s with the fours under the hoods of its 1600, 2002 and early 3 Series models.
BMW said the new X3 will accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 6.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 130 mph, which is governed electronically. It is expected to reach dealerships in the U.S. in May as a 2013 model. Its base price is $39,395 including a $895 freight charge. BMW will continue to sell the six-cylinder X3 xDrive35i for $44,495.

MARTINSBURG - Goode family members- Joe and Wanda, as well as sons Josh, Jojo, Terrel and Tyron - now have a new house to call home, thanks to a collaborative effort between a well-known home builder and a local nonprofit organization.
Approximately 30 people attended Sunday's dedication of the new, four-bedroom house-located on Humanitarian Way, off Boston Street - that was a blitz build, which means it was constructed in under a week.
It is the first time Habitat for Humanity of the Eastern Panhandle joined forces with Dan Ryan Builders to build a house, said habitat president and CEO Dr. G. Edward Grove, who served as master of ceremonies for the event.

One of the highlights of Sunday's dedication ceremony for a new house built cooperatively by Habitat for Humanity of the Eastern Panhandle and Dan Ryan Builders was when company owner Dan Ryan gave the keys to homeowner Joe Goode as family members, from left, Terrel, Wanda, Tyron, Jojo and Josh watched with anticipation.
Company owner Dan Ryan and construction supervisor Don Brown took part in the festivities, including handing over the house keys before a ribbon across the front door was cut so people could tour the two-story house.
Both men said they hadn't known what to expect, but were happily surprised with how much satisfaction they had gained from working on the construction project - which means there are now five new habitat homes on this street, including two built in 2013.
Brown said 40 to 50 of the company's contractors had also helped in various ways, adding, "We got done here in just six days what would normally take anywhere from 90 to 100 days in the field. It was a long week, but it's been a pleasure to meet this family and be able to build them a home."
Ryan was equally enthusiastic as he recalled how far things have come since the property was only an empty lot. He praised habitat construction supervisor Jamie Yates as well as the City of Martinsburg.
"If ever there was a team effort, I think you're looking at it right now. And it's a real pleasure to be a part of this team," he said.
In addition, company workers on the project also donated money to purchase a new television for the family.
Joe Goode promised that he and other family members will work hard to take good care of their new home, which offers additional space for his growing children.
He also praised God for having "brought the people together who could make this all happen."
Family members helped contribute the "sweat equity" that's required for this type of transaction, but that wasn't difficult because so many people wanted to help - including some of Josh's fellow teammates from the state champion Martinsburg High School football team.
Sen. John Unger, D-Berkeley, praised the hard work that went into the house, adding, "If the four-time champion Bulldogs had a part here, you know this is well built."
Martinsburg City Councilman Jason Baker welcomed the family, saying, "This is exactly what we need - great houses and neighborhoods as well as quality neighbors."
Berkeley County Council member Elaine Mauck said she could recall a much earlier time when this area had been a landfill.
"But now it is a good, healthy community for good people," Mauck said, adding that she'd also been impressed because each habitat house had its own "distinct personality" instead of being built from a "cookie cutter" design.

This is an excerpt from EERE Network News, a weekly electronic newsletter.
July 09, 2008
No Gasoline or Oil Price Relief Until Winter 2009, Says EIA
The average price of regular gasoline is expected to remain greater than $4 per gallon until the fourth quarter of 2009, according to DOE's Energy Information Administration (EIA). The EIA's "Short-Term Energy Outlook," released on July 8, notes that crude oil spot prices reached $145 per barrel on July 3, and crude oil prices are now projected to average $127 per barrel in 2008 and $133 per barrel in 2009. Despite the higher prices, world oil consumption continues to grow, while production increases have fallen short of expectations. Although Saudi Arabia plans to increase its production by 300,000 barrels per day in July, that move is also limiting the remaining surplus production capacity to about 1.2 million barrels per day, and that surplus capacity is all located in Saudi Arabia. To place these numbers in context, the world produced about 84.6 million barrels of oil per day in 2007. For the latest crude oil prices, see the New York Mercantile Exchange Web site.
With crude oil prices staying high, the EIA now projects that the average price for regular-grade gasoline will stay well above $4 per gallon for the rest of the year, causing the average for 2008 to end up at $3.84 per gallon, an increase of more than a dollar per gallon above last year's price. That trend will continue in 2009, with an average price of $4.06 per gallon for regular gasoline. Diesel fuel prices will also stay elevated, averaging $4.35 per gallon in 2008 and $4.48 per gallon in 2009. According to the American Automobile Association (AAA), regular gasoline and diesel fuel were at a record average prices of $4.108 and $4.807 per gallon, respectively, on July 8. See the latest prices from the AAA Daily Fuel Gauge Report.
While the nation is currently focused on the high price of motor fuels, by this winter the focus may well change to electricity and heating fuels. The EIA notes that the sustained high prices for petroleum, along with other factors, are pushing up the spot price of natural gas. The spot price is projected to average $11.86 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf) in 2008 and $11.62 per Mcf in 2009, a 65% increase over the $7.17 per Mcf average spot price in 2007. Utilities and gas distribution companies tend to sign long-term contracts for natural gas, so spot prices aren't necessarily reflected immediately in the prices paid by businesses and homeowners, but they do indicate the trend in prices. The trend is already apparent in the electricity market, where prices are projected to increase 5.2% in 2008 and 9.8% in 2009. See the EIA's "Short-Term Energy Outlook."

On the way to his execution, William Johnson was paraded through camp to a large open field where 10,000 Union soldiers waited.
This was a warning to them. Desert, as Johnson did, and suffer the same fate.
"Saw man ride by in a wagon," Capt. Charles Hall of the Fourth New Jersey Volunteers wrote on Dec. 13, 1861. "Preceeded by his coffin & the 12 men that were detailed to shoot him."
Eight men fired, and when Johnson still showed signs of life, four more opened up. "Heard the Report & then marched round & saw the dead man lying on ground," Hall, of Palmyra, wrote.
The description of Pvt. Johnson's execution in Virginia is part of Hall's multivolume diary, passed down through his family, then donated a few months ago by his great-great-granddaughter Virginia Harding to the Palmyra Historical and Cultural Society.
The society is transcribing the cursive writing and hopes eventually to publish the tattered diaries, which cover the period before, during, and after the Civil War, members said.
"I stored them in a fireproof box in the back of a closet," said Harding, 71, a retired Lockheed Martin secretary who lives in Cinnaminson. "But I was scared to death something would happen to them."
She was fascinated by Hall's chronicle of garrison duty at Camp Seminary near Alexandria, Va., part of the defenses surrounding Washington during the Civil War.
"The diaries were difficult to read because of the handwriting and the style of writing," she said. "But I liked it because I enjoy behind-the-scenes stuff. It sparked my interest in reading more about the Civil War."
Hall's narrative gives a rare glimpse at the life of soldiers who protected the capital from attack, said Jay Howard, a professor at the Community College of Philadelphia who has been researching the diary.
"I'm interested in the personal side of history, getting beyond the dates and places to individual stories, even the mundane," said Howard, a member of the Palmyra War Memorial Committee, which maintains a memorial for local Palmyra veterans - four marble slabs and bronze plaques with the names of those who served.
The diary "gives a picture of life during the war, what a soldier did each day," he said.
Hall was born in 1816 and served in 1861 and 1862, when he received a medical discharge, said Genevieve Lumia, a member of the executive board of the Palmyra historical society who has been transcribing the captain's account, which was accompanied by muster rolls listing those who served. Hall died in 1899.
"Some of [Hall's] writing was done when he was sick," Lumia said. "He described conditions at the hospital, and they were not all that sanitary.
"Back then, they didn't know a lot about germs," she said. "Hospital workers went from one patient to another without washing up."
The Civil War portion of Hall's diary began with an entry on Aug. 15, 1861. Hall, then 45 and a carpenter, was leading new recruits to Washington.
"Marched . . . 68 men from Moorestown, took wagons to Palmyra and then [railroad] cars to Trenton, had the men examined and sworn in to the service of the U.S.," he wrote. "Marched from thence to camp Olden, pitched our tents and remained there when we were ordered to leave for Washington."
Hall and 98 soldiers headed to Philadelphia, where they received refreshment and a "perfect ovation along our Route through the City." They passed through Baltimore, "with loaded muskets and caps on Ready for immediate action" because there were so many Southern sympathizers there.
Arriving by train in Washington later, Hall and his unit marched on to the encampment of the New Jersey Brigade at Fairfax Seminary, where they quickly got a taste of violence.
"One of our troop was killed on picket duty last night," he wrote Aug. 25, 1861. "he was completely riddled with balls, his Captain was taken prisoner and 2 men with him.
"the Body of dead man was brought into Camp this afternoon, also 3 rebel prisoners and one Sesession horse," he said. "the Rebel Ladies are here begging pitiously for the relief of the prisoners, but they will not be able to obtain them."
Serving in the military "can be 99 percent boredom and one percent sheer terror," Howard said.
Sgt. Maj. Thomas Bonney "was shot this morning and instantly killed by one of our pickets who hailed him and he did not answer and the picket fired twice," Hall wrote on Oct. 18, 1861.
"Although it was in the wood and perfectly dark and Raining, and the pickets fired only by hearing the noise yet a ball struck him in the neck & cut the bone in two, he jumped nearly 2 feet high and fell dead," Hall's account said.
The diary entry "sets the historical record about Bonney straight," Howard said. "It was clear that this was friendly fire - an issue that exists in all wars."
Hall also described drills and dress parades in summer heat and winter cold; camp visits from his wife, Harriet, and leave time in Palmyra and Moorestown, where his mother lived. Many entries mentioned sickness, colds, and probably dysentery.
Hall left the service in 1862 because of ill health; one of his eight children, Charles, also served in the Union army and was killed in 1864.
For Hall's great-great-granddaughter, the diary is a window on another time, a connection to the past, Harding said. "It has always gotten to me when I touch something that is very old. Just touching this diary is exciting."

The transfer saga surrounding Bale has dragged on for weeks with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy likely to demand that Madrid smash the transfer world record they set landing Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United.
But Perez is unconvinced about the fees being quoted in the media and is not sure that Bale is perhaps worth the money that is being reported in relation to a potential move.
"We talk with lots of people and we will see what happens in all our negotiations, with this player [Bale] and with others," Perez told ESPN.
"We do not usually talk about other players out of respect to the player, the club and the president, with whom I made a good friendship last season during the signing of Luka Modric.
"If I do not talk about names, I do not talk about money. [But] €100 million seems a lot to me, a lot for everything. I do not talk about players nor money because I should not and cannot, out of respect."
Spanish reports suggest that Tottenham will demand £103 million for Bale or a world record transfer fee plus a player with Fabio Coentrao or Angel Di Maria touted as possible options.

Decorate your table with matzoh covers from your child's fashion line! Just cut a felt square and adorn it freestyle with ribbons, trims, or foam stickers.
Watch all your favorite shows weekdays on Nick Jr.
Cut a 12-inch square from the colored felt. If possible, ask your child to help you measure 12 inches on each side.
Let your child design the matzoh cover using the materials you have at home: trims, ribbons, decorative foam stickers, buttons, or fabric paints. Note: You can refer to but not limited to our design. Ask your child what she/he thinks that represent Passover and draw them on the cover or pick decorative pieces to glue on.
Print the template and cut out the three Hebrew letters that are short for "Pesach" or "Passover." Trace the letters to felt of a color different from the cover. Cut out the letters and glue them to the center of the cover. Instead of letters, try glue on two small felt squares that resemble "matzoh" pieces. To make the "matzoh" pieces, cut out two squares from beige felt, draw several lines of tiny dots/dashes across the squares with brown/black fabric paint.

In tennis, until very recently, fans and journalists tend to measure a player's talent with subjective criteria such as the fluidity of his one-handed backhand or with relatively one-dimensional numbers such as the speed of his first serve. A case can be made that there's much more to tennis than that.
Preamble: http://tennisconnected.com/home/2012/12/25/australian-open-abstract-%e2%80%93-the-comprehensive-guide-to-the-first-grand-slam-of-2013-preamble/
Part 1: http://tennisconnected.com/home/2012/12/27/australian-open-abstract-part-1-player-previews-the-old-guards-class-of-1996-2000/
Today is the second of four installments discussing the results of the top thirty-two players in the world. By virtue of their 2012 year-end rankings, the players covered here will be seeded at the Australian Open, giving them the best opportunity to advance beyond the initial rounds.
Chances are, one of the thirty-two players we will be discussing in the next four days will be the person lifting the Norman Brookes Challenge Cup in Melbourne. Indeed, the only unseeded player ever to win at the Australian Open was Mark Edmondson back in 1976.
Instead of arranging players by their current ranking, we have decided to present them in the order in which they turned pro, not unlike the way NHL and NFL players are often statistically compared to players in their draft year. Not only does this provide another perspective from which to make sense of the numbers, but it will hopefully uncover some truths about the longevity and consistency of these players relative to those in their age range.
Class of 2001-2002 (11 Players)
Overall 2012 ATP Record: 454-243 (65.1%)
Titles: 16
Overall 2011 ATP Record: 459-260 (64.2%)
Titles: 11
Overall 2010 ATP Record: 413-234 (63.8%)
Titles: 10
It seems that ATP players are hitting their primes relatively later in their careers. While the average player in this group is over 27 and has played at least 10 full years on the tour, their win-loss ratio as well as their title haul has gotten progressively better in the past three years. Note that the numbers for 2012 would have been even better had Rafael Nadal been able to play the second half of the year after his loss at Wimbledon and subsequent layoff.
Tie Break Winning Percentage, 2012: 52.5% (-2.7% compared to top-32 average)
Avg. Tie Break Winning Percentage, 2010-2012: 53.7% (-2.1%)
We can see here that this group, collectively, is not particularly good at playing tie breaks. Surprisingly, baseline grinders like Nadal, Monaco and Tipsarevic lead the class (72%, 59% and 58% respectively), while big-serving Tomas Berdych is just average (55%).
Percentage of Service Games Won, 2012: 81.8% (-1.4%)
Average Percentage of Service Games Won, 2010-2012: 81.0% (-1.0%)
As we have seen with yesterday's group, the Class of '01-'02 has gotten better at taking care of their serving games over the past years, but still do not hold as often as their younger cohorts in the top-32. Nadal and Berdych lead with 87% and 86 respectively over the past three years. Despite his good tie break winning percentage, Monaco is last overall with an anemic 76% since 2010.
Percentage of Return Games Won, 2012: 26.7% (+2.1%)
Average Percentage of Return Games Won, 2010-2012: 26.0% (+2.0%)
The Class of '01-'02 feature some of the best baseliners in the game, so it is not surprising that the group significantly outperforms the mean on return games won. Nadal is first yet again; he manages to break his opponent once every three service games. Kohlschreiber is last in the group with a still-respectable 22% (good for at least one break every set, on average).
Individual Player Profiles – Class of 2001-2001
Florian Mayer ('01)
The lanky German's game is most accurately described with the word "awkward." He is not beyond throwing in some forehand slices as a rally shot to get opponents out of their rhythm, and his service motion is funky to say the least. He reached #18 in the world in the summer of 2011 but has fallen back to #28 after a middling 23-26 season in which he won zero titles. He did not play the Australian Open last year, so he will at least be looking forward to gaining significant ground on his immediate competitors with every match win Down Under.
Though four out of Mayer's five career ATP finals have come on clay, he is somewhat of a grass court specialist, having advanced to the fourth round of Wimbledon on three occasions. The slippery, low-bouncing surface allows him to get some more free points on his serve (73.4% career 1st serve points won on grass as opposed to 70.0% overall), which is not that strong despite the German's 6'3" frame. Conversely, the high, true bounce of hard courts make them Mayer's worst enemy (he has only won 55% of career matches on hard courts as opposed to 64% on grass and 59% overall).
Fernando Verdasco ('01)
Despite accumulating just over one million dollars in 2012 prize money, Verdasco currently sits only 24th in the world, down from his high of #7 in the summer of 2009. He made one final in the past season (Acapulco) and has not won a title since 2010, an underwhelming run given the Spaniard's physical attributes and his heavy left-handed ground strokes.
Two statistical categories where we see a marked downturn are Verdasco's service games won percentage and his break point conversion rate. In 2012, Verdasco held 81% of the time, down from 85% during his peak season of 2009. Similarly, he won 40% of break points earned in 2012, down from 45% in 2009. Last year in Melbourne, he lost to Bernard Tomic in five sets in the first round, so it won't be hard for him to improve at least on that front this January, in theory.
Phillipp Kohlschreiber ('01)
2012 has been a banner year for Kohlschreiber, who managed to gain a career-best ranking of #16 in July. Currently #20, he was one of the few players on the tour to surpass 40 match wins (42-24) and one million dollars in prize money. He has performed well in Grand Slams (4R in Australia, QF at Wimbledon and 4R at the US Open) and upset Nadal on grass at Halle the week before Wimbledon.
At 5'10", Kohlschreiber owns one of the best forehand-backhand combinations on the tour, but the main contributing factor to his rise this year has been his serve. He held 85% of his serving games this year, up from 80% in 2011 and 83% in 2010. Not only is he hitting more aces (9.3 per 100 first serves in compared to a career average of 7.5), but he is also backing up his second delivery with more conviction (55.8% second serve points won versus 53.3% career). He will have a good amount of points to defend at the Australian Open, given his fourth round showing last year, so backing up that result with another run into the second week of competition will surely be on the German's mind heading into 2013.
Rafael Nadal ('01)
Like Mardy Fish, which we discussed yesterday, Nadal was not able to play more than half of the season due to health concerns. Furthermore, like Fish, Rafa has played well whenever he's been healthy in 2012. Due to his abbreviated campaign, he suffered less than ten losses in a calendar year for a first time. His 88% winning percentage (42-6) is the best he has achieved since winning 89% of his matches (78-10) in 2010, a year in which he swept the last three Slams of the year in dominating fashion.
For all of Nadal's strengths, one of his least-heralded qualities is the way he is able to raise his game in tie breaks. Even though he has a poor tiebreak record against Federer (ironic considering his overall advantage in the rivalry), his 72.7% overall winning rate over the past three years is the best on tour, significantly better than Federer (65%), Isner (64.3%) and Raonic (61.3%).
Janko Tipsarevic ('02)
Like David Ferrer, whose recent form we have discussed in some detail in Part 1, Janko Tipsarevic has played his best tennis throughout the 2012 season (though he went out meekly against Gasquet, 3-6 3-6 1-6, in the third round of the Australian Open). Finishing the year at #9, with a record of 57-28, Tipsarevic is finally fulfilling the promise he has shown as the #1 junior in the world some years ago.
Though Tipsarevic is making the most of his opportunities, it's doubtful that he will be able to rise much higher than his current ranking. He started 2012 ranked 38th in the world before making his ascension to the top-10. Since then, his record against higher-ranked opponent has bottomed out, going from 9-11 (45%) in 2010 to 5-12 (29%) to 2-10 (17%) this year. Unless he does something drastically different in 2013 and add some new weapons to his game, it should be much of the same yet again in the next twelve months.
Stanislas Wawrinka ('02)
Currently ranked #17, Stan has had an unspectacular 2012 season, going 35-20 but not winning any titles. In Melbourne, he knocked off Paire and Baghdatis before bowing out to Nicolas Almagro in straight sets.
While Wawrinka boasts a solid all-around game anchored by a powerful forehand and a reliable one-handed backhand, it's worth noting that he has the worst tie break winning percentage of any player in the top-32. Last year, he only won 37% of all tie breaks played, a full 18% lower than the average. Over the past three years, he's 14% off the pace with a better-but-still-woeful 43%. We are not sure why that is. It would be something worth studying more in detail in 2013.
Tomas Berdych ('02)
On the strength of his 61-23 record and two titles won, Berdych finished 2012 ranked a career-high #6 in the world. Apart from a first-round loss to an on-fire Gulbis at Wimbledon, Berdych performed well at the Slams this year (QF at Australian Open, 4R at Roland Garros, SF at US Open) and was an integral member of the Davis Cup-winning Czech team.
While Berdych has been the fifth most effective server, in terms of service games held, over the past three years, he has not been as clutch as other top players when the chips were down. Out of the current members of the top-10, only Richard Gasquet has won a lower percentage of tie breaks played in the past three years. Gasquet is at 51%, Berdych is at 55%, while the top-10's average tie break winning percentage between 2010 and 2012 stands at 59%. If Berdych can crack 60% tie breaks won in the coming year, perhaps he'll be able to break through and win a first Grand Slam title. Maybe.
Gilles Simon ('02)
The 28 year-old Frenchman has had a resurgent 2012, finishing 16th in the world on the strength of a 43-25 season and a perfect 5-for-5 record in five-set matches. Though he will be hard-pressed to match his career-best ranking of #6 in the world, achieved back in 2009, Simon actually had a decent 5-6 record against top-10 opponents he faced this year.
"Play to your strength" is a maxim often referenced by coaches, and the theory does hold merit in Simon's case. While his service games held statistic has been negatively trending since 2010, his overall winning percentage has increased due to a strong upturn in his returning games won category. Only six players (Nadal, Djokovic, Nishikori, Murray, Ferrer and Monaco) have returned better than Simon this past season (29% return games won). All in all, even though the Frenchman seemed to have been neglecting his serve, it didn't hurt him at all this year.
Richard Gasquet ('02)
Hailed as a potential Slam winner since appearing on the front cover of a French magazine as a five year-old, Richard Gasquet has had anything but an easy life in pro tennis. And just when most people have written him off as a wasted talent, here he is back in the top-10, just barely. His 42 wins and 22 losses in 2012 allowed him to grab hold of the #10 ranking in the final weeks of the season. At the Slams, he got about as far as he was supposed to most of the time, losing to Ferrer twice and Murray once. The exception was at Wimbledon, where he lost in the fourth round to Florian Mayer, but you already know that Mayer is a sneaky-good grass court player.
What's the secret to Gasquet's return to form? It seems to be an increased willingness to get out of his comfort zone in terms of scheduling. Though the Frenchman is more at ease playing on clay, he took a gamble and shifted more of his attention to hard courts in 2012, playing 42 total matches on the green-and-blue stuff as opposed to 31 matches in 2011 and 35 in 2010. This adjustment paid off. Gasquet's 64% winning percentage on hard court this year is the second highest he's achieved in his career. What was the highest? 69% in 2007, the same year where he made it to his career-high ranking of 7 in the world.
Andreas Seppi ('02)
At age 28, the Italian is playing the best tennis of his life. With a 38-27 record and two titles, Seppi ended 2012 as the 23rd best-ranked player in the world. The year started slowly for Seppi with a first round loss to Gasquet at the Aussie Open, but he managed to find his form during the clay court season, winning Belgrade, making the quarters at his home tournament in Rome (loss to Federer) and reaching the fourth round of the French Open (loss to Djokovic). That run lifted his ranking into the top-30, where he's stayed ever since.
While Seppi has never had an excessively powerful serve (in fact, it's one of the weaker parts of his game), whatever technical adjustments he's made in the last two years have paid dividends. He is now winning more points on his first serve (+2.2% since 2010) and on his second serve (+2.9% since 2009).
Juan Monaco ('02)
Currently ranked #12, Juan Monaco is truly a Jekyll and Hyde type character. While he's had a career year in every sense of the word, winning four titles and reaching the final of three other tournaments, six out of those seven finals have occurred on clay (Monaco somehow winning Kuala Lumpur, an indoor hard court tournament, on the seventh occasion). He was 25-7 on clay but only 12-10 on hard court in 2012.
Monaco was third only to Nadal and Djokovic in terms of return games won percentage this past year, breaking his opponent on 31% of occasions. He also happens to be the least effective server in the top-32, with a lowly 77% of service games held (he was even worse in the two years prior). All this suggests that he would be much better off playing as many matches as possible on clay. Indeed, he has a very good 194-109 career record on the dirt (64%), while his record on hard court is a mediocre at best (89-88).

Two foreign military officers who were training at Fort Leonard Wood and charged in October of last year with enticement of a child and harassment had their charges dropped, Pulaski County Prosecuting attorney Kevin Hillman said Friday.
"The victim's family and I discussed the situation, and they did not want her to go through the further traumatization of two trials," Hillman said.
The two foreign officers charged were Mohammed Mahmoud Omar Mefleh, of Jordan, and Antoine Chela, of Lebanon.
Hillman said the pair had the charges dropped as part of an agreement which required them to remain in jail for 90 days and pay for their incarceration costs, which were over $3,000 each.
"Right after the charges were dropped, the men were taken by Fort Leonard Wood officials and have to leave the country within 10 days. I expect them to be gone by Monday," Hillman said.
"They can have no contact with minors and will not be allowed back in the country. The Department of Homeland Security will be tracking and monitoring the men until they leave the country."
Hillman said dropping the charges was a tough call to make.
"This was a very difficult decision," he said. "But the family did not want their daughter to be re-traumatizd, and I have to take that into consideration. If the men were convicted, the Missouri Department of Corrections could have deported them right after. It was not worth further ruining the young girl's life."
Hillman said Mefleh, who arrived in the U.S. in April 2013, was at the fort for the U.S. Army Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Captains Career Course. Chela, arriving in October, was training at the fort for the Engineering Captains Career Course.
According to court records, the two men allegedly approached the young girl, 12, at a bus stop in October 2013 and asked the girl to enter their vehicle.
Later, the men later allegedly showed up at the front door of the girl's home and asked her to unlock it.
When the men left the residence, the girl got the attention of a passing fire truck and reported what happened.
Roughly half an hour later after the girl reported the incident, Mefleh and Chela were arrested.

Essner was named a second team National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) All-American after leading Jefferson College to a 49-16 record, including an 18-2 mark in conference play and a sweep in the regional tournament to advance to the NJCAA Division I Tournament in Florida.
Although the team managed just a 1-2 record in the tournament, Essner's accomplishments didn't go unnoticed.
She was 15-3 on the mound with an earned run average of 1.43. She had 135 strikeouts in 122 innings pitched.
Essner also had a fantastic offensive season as Jefferson College's leadoff batter. She led the team in batting average (.439), hits (101), runs (59), doubles (25), triples (5), runs batted in (53) and stolen bases (25).
Essner graduated from Kelly High School in 2005 where she was a softball and basketball star, receiving all-state recognition in softball and all-
conference and all-region in basketball.

Dining Room Furniture Reupholstering Guide
The dining room sees serious traffic over the years, and is often used for far more than just eating. This can take a toll on chairs and their fabrics, leading to fraying and wear, but savvy do-it-yourselfers can make chairs look like new by reupholstering.
Choosing Fabric
The process of reupholstering begins with choosing the fabric for the seats. If the fabric is replaced on only one seat, then contact the manufacturer or furniture store where the dining room set was purchased to order matching fabric. The store or manufacturer will have exactly the correct size and style needed to match the other furniture.
If all the chair fabrics are being replaced, then the sky is the limit on the style of fabric. Owners can contact the furniture store or manufacturer to see about pre-fit fabrics or visit a fabric store and choose from many a variety of styles, colors and prints.
Fabric Removal
There are two areas of the chair that may require fabric replacement: the seat pad and the back. The process for replacing both is the same, but the shapes will be different. The seat pad is connected to the chair frame by screws, and the fabric is usually both screwed into the seat pad using the frame screws and stapled as well. There is also a plastic or cardboard covering stapled to the fabric to cover the exposed fabric's edges.
Unscrew the seat pad from the chair frame using a screwdriver and then remove the staples from the plastic cover and set it aside. Remove the fabric from the seat pad by removing the staples. The easiest way to remove the staples is with a flathead screwdriver. Also, take note of how the fabric was situated on the pad. It was made to fit a specific way, and the new piece will be cut and placed on the seat pad in the same way.
Fabric Replacement
Take out the bolt of new fabric and place the old worn fabric on top of it to use it as a pattern. Cut out the exact shape of the old fabric to guarantee it will fit correctly on the seat. Place the new fabric on the ground with the seat pad on top of it, so it looks the same as when the old fabric was taken off.
Grab the fabric at the front of the seat pad and pull it up against the back of the pad. Put two staples directly in the center. This keeps it in place, but is also easily removable if adjustment is needed later. Do the same with the rear of the cushion. With both the front and rear placed correctly, and if no adjustment is needed, then staple them to the seat, starting at the center staples and working out to the edge.
Do the same for the sides, making sure the fabric is taut before stapling. The fabric is replaced and secure to the cushion. Place the plastic or cardboard covering back on the bottom and staple it to the seat pad. The seat pad can be screwed back onto the seat frame, and the chair will look as good as new.
Buy more fabric than needed: There are many possible pitfalls when replacing fabric. The fabric can rip or tear, could be cut wrong or other unforeseen issues can cause it to be unusable, so always buy more than you need. Purchase enough fabric to make two replacements for every chair fabric being replaced. It saves trips back to the fabric store or days waiting, if it's being shipped through the mail.
The right tools for the job: The stapler found in most offices is not strong enough to penetrate the tough fabric and cardboard or plastic cover. An industrial staple gun is needed and can be purchased at most hardware stores, along with a supply of industrial staples. The fabric needs to be tight against the seat and resistant to tugging and pulling.
Don't cover up a worse problem: Reupholstering does wonders for a chair, but sometimes it can also cover up mold and decay. Chairs with liquid spills can develop mold or rot to the point where they can become a health hazard or structurally unstable. If mold or wet, decayed wood is spotted when removing the fabric, then do not just cover it back up. The cushion itself may need replaced, or possibly the entire chair.
In homes with families, dining room chairs can see some major battle action over the years. Children throw everything from spaghetti to peas at them, older children drop food and drinks, and even Mom and Dad cause the occasional damage.
Most of the time, the frame is perfectly intact, but the fabric becomes a little worse for wear. Reupholstering can add years of use to chairs and save money. Who doesn't love that?

TWO Oxfordshire teenagers have taken their education campaign to the heart of the Government.
Alex Cotter and Bobo Kalungu- Banda, both 15, were part of a 12-strong group of students who lobbied Stephen O'Brien, the Minister for International Development, over a pledge by world leaders to get every child in school by 2015.
The pair travelled to London for the Question Time-style event at the Department of International Development.
Alex and Bobo, who are pupils at Banbury's Blessed George Napier School, were chosen as young ambassadors for the Global Campaign for Education.
Bobo said: "I'm from Africa. My dad, through a scholarship, got a chance to come here for his education.
"Now we want everyone to have the opportunity of a good education."
The Global Campaign for Education is a coalition of activists, teachers' unions and development organisations, aimed at ensuring all children get an education.
In 2000, world leaders promised that every child would receive a quality education by 2015.
But while improvements were made, with 50 million more youngsters going to school, in the past two years supporters say the programme has stalled.
