STARKVILLE, Miss. -- March Madness was officially christened in another sport Sunday. LSU got things started a little earlier against Mississippi State on the Dudy Noble Field diamond on Sunday after an incident early in the game that created a buzz after the Tigers lost the series finale 10-2.
In the top of the 2nd inning, Mason Katz stepped into the batter's box to lead off the LSU at-bat against Bulldogs senior Kendall Graveman. To provide some needed background, remember that Katz slammed three home runs in the first two games of the series and had hit seven in five games prior to Sunday.
After Katz dug in, Graveman's first offering sailed high and behind Katz's head, a pitch that had all the appearances of a purpose pitch.
Home-plate umpire Jay Asher immediately popped out from behind the plate, took two steps toward the mound and pointed at Graveman, issuing a warning. He then pointed at State coach John Cohen and did the same.
That essentially meant that for the rest of the day, any pitch that Asher deemed a retaliatory response from the Tigers would have resulted in the ejection of the pitcher and Cohen or LSU coach Paul Mainieri, as well as a likely suspension from the SEC.
There was never another incident the rest of the day, although big State first baseman Wes Rea seemed to be rankled in the 6th inning when a Nick Rumbelow pitch buzzed inside and behind him. However, that was with two outs and two runners on base and came on a 1-and-1 pitch -- in other words, there didn't seem to be any intent.
What Asher nor anybody else could govern was what Katz and Mainieri had to say after the game. Understandably, there was plenty of madness involved.
"If that's what they need to do to have themselves feel good about themselves, they can do it," Katz said, still clearly emotional about the pitch. "I did nothing disrespectful to them when I hit home runs. I didn't run down the line yelling at our dugout saying anything. I did it with class. That's the way we play the game in Baton Rouge. That's the way coach teaches us to play. If you're going to throw behind a kid for having a good weekend, then that's classless."
The Bulldogs' win salvaged something from the series, which No. 2/3-ranked LSU claimed by winning 6-4 in 10 innings on Friday and 7-3 on Saturday.
Katz and Mainieri both pointed out that underlying theme to the weekend.
"If that makes them feel good and they're going to go celebrate their one win, that's fine," Katz said. "We're going out here on the road against a top-10, top-15 team with a series win."
Added Mainieri, "I could understand why they're frustrated. I mean, we beat them every year and they get tired of getting beat by us. To me, there's no place in college baseball for doing that."
Mainieri, who has never lost a series in Starkville or to the Bulldogs in seven seasons, was just getting warmed up.
"What you're going to penalize a kid because he's playing the game right way, he plays the game hard and he's swinging the bat good so we're now going to throw a ball behind a kid's head?" Mainieri said incredulously. "That's different from pitching inside and wanting to work both sides of the plate and keep a kid uncomfortable. To throw it behind a kid's head, I can't respect people who do things like that, and I'm sorry, I just never will.
"It's just sad. I just can't respect people who do things like that. It's just not how the game is supposed to be played.
"It was two great teams playing against each other. Katz has been in the league for four years, and he should have the respect of every player on Mississippi State. You could seriously try to injure a kid for what? Because he hit a few home runs against your team? It's ridiculous."
None of the ire seemed to be directed at Cohen, with whom Mainieri has had run-ins before - most recently at the 2012 SEC Tournament. Graveman was not spared by Katz, though.
Graveman didn't say anything to Katz before or after the pitch.
"No, but I knew it was on purpose," Katz said. "I've heard from many people that I know on their team that it was on purpose.
"The pitcher wanted to throw it. It was all on his call and that's just the way he is. It's a classless move. Maybe their pitching staff wanted it to happen because of the way we tore up their pitching the first two games or the way we beat them or the way I happened to swing the bat, or, you know, whatever.
"You know what? If they're going to throw behind me for hitting home runs, I'm going to continue to do it and continue to let them throw behind me."
Right after the warning was issued, Mainieri had an extended and animated conversation with Asher and crew chief Jack Cox. The gist? Mainieri wanted Graveman tossed out.
"I thought he should've thrown him out of the game," Mainieri said. "You don't have to give him a warning. Anybody who's watching the game understands that mason Katz has hit three home runs here this week and has had a lot of good swings. The kid comes up and he throws a ball behind his head, first pitch? Come on. You'd have to have never seen a baseball game before to not believe he did that on purpose.
"Mason Katz plays the game the right way. He treats everybody with respect. He plays the game the right way. It's just uncalled for. I just don't like that."
Asher told Mainieri he knew it was a purpose pitch, but that Graveman didn't try to hit Katz intentionally.
The LSU coach said he doesn't expect any further action.
"The umpires are here for a reason," he said. "They're supposed to be in control of the game. They handled it the way they thought it was appropriate. It's over with now as far as I'm concerned."
Cohen declined to react to Mainieri's comments when a local reporter mentioned them.
Graveman brushed off the controversy, but also didn't seem to completely deny his intent.
"That one slipped," he said and then chuckled when asked about the pitch.
"I didn't hit the guy. It's not like I did anything out of the ordinary."

Kenta Yamada, JCLU Director
Protection of the freedom of expression in Japan underwent a major change after the Second World War, with the conversion from the prewar regulation-based system, to the present freedoms-based system.
In Japan, as in many other countries, the form of regulation of freedom of expression has traditionally depended on the type of media in question (see figure 1), i.e. the published media, the broadcasting media and telecommunications media (represented by the telephone). There are thus major differences in the way that both the content of information and business activity are regulated between each category of media. It is important to note that traditionally, where print media is concerned, there was no law that comprehensively regulated either content or business activity. Before the Second World War, the content and publication of newspapers was strictly regulated by a web of regulations such as the Newspaper Ordinance. Under the present Constitution, however, they have been abolished, allowing the establishment of an absolute freedom.
The position of telecommunications, which has traditionally been regarded as a means of personal communication, has drastically changed with the development of the Internet. As exemplified by the word "internet broadcasting," we have come to a point where telecommunications and broadcasting are much the same: with newspapers being broadcast as print broadcast (katsuji housou,) and flash news bulletins being given on the Internet becoming the norm. As a result, there is an increasing possibility that the current method of categorizing media types will undergo a change. For example, it is possible that there will be the establishment of a whole new category of types of media called "cyber media," although this assumes that the present practice of differentiating between categories is continued.
Another point to consider when discussing the restrictions on freedom expression is the question of which competing interests are recognized as valid reasons for such restrictions (see figure 2). First, there is the distinction between prior and ex post facto regulation, the former including the state's power of censorship which is absolutely prohibited by article 21 of Japan's Constitution (the fact that this includes state censorship during wartime has led to the protection of freedom of expression in Japan being considered particularly strong). Second, there are two distinguishable methods of regulation, namely regulation of content, and regulation unrelated to content, e.g. selling restrictions.
Another consideration is the source of regulation. The state's "power of regulation" was mentioned above, but it is important to distinguish whether this is exercised by the legislature, the courts, or even social pressure. These distinctions are illustrated by figure 3.
The last half of the 1990s saw an increase in the introduction in the Diet of bills affecting the general media and private individuals. As mentioned above, an important reason for this was the event of the Internet. For details on which laws were actually passed, or are at present being debated please see figure 4. These laws will not just regulate the Internet, but are bound to have an effect on the media in general.
Article 21 of the 1947 Constitution of Japan ("the Constitution") establishes the absolute protection of the freedom of expression, providing: "Freedom of assembly and association as well as speech, press and all other forms of expression are guaranteed. 2) No censorship shall be maintained, nor shall the secrecy of any means of communication be violated "(See Article 19 World Report 1999.) However, in the courts, there is a tendency for the freedom of expression that is protected by Article 21 to be interpreted as the freedom to assert opinion, giving the freedom to receive information and the freedom to amass information a comparatively lower level of protection. As for the freedom to transmit information, it can be argued that there has not been a complete and clear decision whether it comes within the scope of Article 21.
The independence of judges is protected by Article 76 of the Constitution. Article 77 grants administrative power to the Supreme Court and Article 78 protects judges from impeachment or other disciplinary action.
"Article 76. [Judicial Power]
The whole judicial power is vested in a Supreme Court and in such inferior courts as are established by law.
All judges shall be independent in the exercise of their conscience and shall be bound only by this Constitution and the laws."
In reality however, it cannot be said that judges enjoy complete independence as their actions as they are closely observed, and their actions are in practice restricted by the Supreme Court (see section 6)
"Article 77 [Judicial Procedure]
Article 78 [Public Impeachment]
There is no contempt of court law in Japan. Furthermore, there are no specific provisions restricting comments regarding legal proceedings that are made outside the courtroom.
The law of defamation is set out in Article 710 of the Civil Code. However, the following situations have been established by precedent as constituting exceptions:
The fact that there is no law relating to contempt of court in Japan is linked to the fact that there is no jury system in Japan, cases always being decided by professional judges. So in the case of criminal trials, after arrest, after indictment and during the trial, there is no restriction on the publication of material relating to the trial. Similarly, there are no restrictions on criticizing a court's judgment after it has been delivered. For example, after a not guilty verdict has been delivered, comments such as, "the suspect is as guilty as ever" or, "the not guilty verdict is mistaken" are permissible. Similarly for civil proceedings, there are no restrictions on the publication of information relating to the proceedings. Furthermore, there is no offence equivalent to that of "scandalizing the court", and criticism of individual judges or lawyers is completely free.
On the other hand, there are severe restrictions on the gathering of information during legal proceedings. For individuals observing legal proceedings in a private capacity, apart from note taking, all forms of gathering information such as photography, recording and the use of personal computers is prohibited (the taking of notes was also prohibited up until 1989). As for the press, they are only allowed to photograph or film in the courtroom for three minutes before the proceedings commence (from the time that the judge(s) enter the court room to the time of the commencement of proceedings). Moreover, the angle of the lens is restricted to that as approved by the judge(s). These rules relating to the gathering of information in the courtroom are based on a tacit agreement between the Supreme Court and the press. The grant of approvals to conduct newsgathering is based on the discretion of the courts; there is no recognized right to receive such approvals. (Photography and filming in the courtroom are prohibited by the rules of criminal and civil procedure).
Public access to court records is also severely restricted. Regarding decisions in criminal trials, there is a Law of Court Records of Criminal Decisions, which establishes a system for public access to these documents. In reality however, examples of refusals based on the grounds of the fair administration of criminal trials or the privacy of the parties are numerous (despite the fact that even the law of criminal procedure recognizes the principle that there must be public access to court records). Refusals are particularly common in the cases of criminal trials involving politicians or government officials. Even if reference to records is allowed, it is not possible to make copies of them. Since 1990, there have been a series of cases relating to reference to, and photocopying of court records. The majority of these have however ended in a judgement against the plaintiff. The courts have recently established a system of public access to decisions on the Internet, but the available records are limited to a selected few, meaning that in practice public access to court records in Japan is closed. Since 2001, an information disclosure law has been in force in Japan, but again court records are excluded from its application.
As previously mentioned, there are no direct restrictions on the freedom of expression in Japan. However, actions that fall under the general laws of defamation may be subject to a criminal punishment or the obligation to pay compensation. Separate from these, there is a law of contempt in the face of the court, so that making a noise, or other actions that disrupt legal proceedings are subject to a criminal penalty.
The criminal punishment for defamation is up to three years forced labor or imprisonment and a fine of up to 500,000 Yen.
The press has continuously been pushing for restrictions on the freedom to gather information to be relaxed.
JCLU is in the process of considering a draft bill that would relax the restrictions on the release of criminal records.
As no specific regulation exists restricting the freedom to criticize judges and the court, it becomes the object of criminal punishment and civil compensation only when the behaviour corresponds to the general crime of defamation. In reality however, the writer is not aware of any cases in which a judge or court has brought a proceeding for defamation.
Please refer to the previous section for the penalties for defamation.
Article 71 of the Court Organization Law and Article 288 of the Code of Criminal Procedure establish the power of the court to maintain the order in the courtroom and to regulate actions inside the courtroom.
The power to maintain order in the court has been actively invoked by the courts in order to restrict the collection of data by the press and visitors in the gallery.
Regarding an action brought in 1987, concerning the right of visitors in the gallery to take notes during a court case, the Tokyo High Court ruled that "the courtroom is a place where judges carry out the difficult task of accurately applying the law to the correct facts without error; in order to ensure fair and smooth proceedings, actions that may interfere with the administration of justice should be prohibited under the court's police power. Although the right to take notes during a case is now recognized there are numerous other restrictions as were mentioned in section 3.
In addition, if a visitor speaks out loud during a case, they will usually be given an order to leave the courtroom under the authority of the power to maintain the order in the court.
The Court Organization Law stipulates a penalty of up to 20 days under observation or up to 30,000 yen for the obstruction of the work of the court or the harming of the dignity of a judgment. There are numerous cases where visitors have been ordered to leave the courtroom.
As explained in section 2, although the freedom of expression of judges in Japan is constitutionally secured, it is in practice considerably restricted. Political statements by judges are strictly controlled as a matter of judicial administration and this restriction extends to the exercise of the right of assembly. The most remarkable illustration of the enforcement of such restriction is the disciplinary action taken by the Sendai District Court against Judge Kazushi Teranishi in 1998.
In April 1998 Judge Teranishi attended a public meeting opposing the controversial Anti-Organized Crimes Act Bill. During the meeting Judge Teranishi spoke from the floor, mentioning that although he had been invited to be a panelist at the meeting, he had received a warning from the District Court that if he participated as a panelist there was a possibility that he would be subject to disciplinary action.
On May 1, 1998, the Sendai District Court filed an application for a disciplinary measure with the Sendai High Court against Teranishi, who was by then a judge of the Sendai District Court. The application was submitted under the Law Concerning the Status of Judges. Judge Teranishi was held accountable for remarks he made from the floor at a public meeting on the Anti-Organized Crimes Act Bill. The Sendai District Court claimed that his statements fell into the category of "political activism" which judges are prohibited from participating in under Article 52 of the Court Organization Law. Thus, it argued that he had breached an obligation of judges and should be subject to disciplinary action as provided under Article 49 of the said law.
Article 52 of the Court Organization Law states that:
While in office, judges are prohibited from the following activities:
1) Taking posts as members of the National Diet or in local government and taking part in political activism.
The Supreme Court interpreted this provision as "not preventing judges from becoming members of a political party or political association" but went on to rule that participation in a political meeting was undoubtedly enough to fall within the scope of the provision.
Although disciplinary action is not taken in all cases, it can be said that the threat of such disciplinary action constitutes a constraining element that induces excessive self-regulation among judges.
In this way, the freedom of expression of and association of judges in Japan is severely restricted. Lawyers and bar associations have issued statements in support of Judge Teranishi. As of July 1,1998, 1067 lawyers nationwide have registered as his defense counsel in the disciplinary procedure. JCLU has published an opinion (July 1, 1998) opposing the disciplinary action against Judge Teranishi.

By 3d Sustainment Command Expeditionary Public AffairsJune 9, 2009
CONTINGENCY OPERATING BASE ADDER, Iraq -- Leaders from the 3d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) and Oasis International Waters, Inc., opened a water bottling and purification plant during a ribbon-cutting ceremony here, June 8.
In preparation for the transfer of bases to the government of Iraq, the 3d ESC managed and coordinated the repositioning of Camp Taqqadum's Oasis water bottling plant, one of six plants in Iraq.
"Now that we are at a draw down period of forces, we looked at what was really needed," said Col. Cheri A. Provancha, 3d ESC support operation officer in charge. "The decision was made to cancel the request for a seventh plant and relocate an existing plant."
"There was a lot of cost savings that came out of this effort and we are able to get water in the right place on the battle field," she said. "This is definitely, one, in the win column for the U.S. Army."
The 3d ESC and 287th Sustainment Brigade logistical project was a success, the plant will provide bottled water to Coalition forces based in southern Iraq.
"The 287th (Sust. Bde.) did a tremendous job," said Maj. Stephanie J. Requa, 3d ESC class I (subsistence) officer in charge, a resident of Erie, Colo. "This plant is operational on the day it was supposed to open. There were no delays."
"It feels like a very noble and honored position to be able to provide water to the troops," said Larry M. Delk, the Oasis International Waters, Inc., bottled water plant manager and supervisor of the TQ move.
Since 2005, the Oasis International Waters, Inc., water bottling plant across Iraq produced approximately 32 million cases of bottled water per year for coalition forces.

European Cultural Assumption
Europeans ........ insert Cultural Assumptions here ....... or perhaps Europe is culturally neutral?
The primary
that I can see from here is that Europe is somehow better than other parts of the world, notably the USA: more moral, more intellectual, more artistic, most sophisticated, you name a good thing they think they have a lock on it.
Or perhaps Europe is too culturally heterogeneous to lump into one category.
How about the assumption that the
== Europe?
Europe's a big place; and not every country there is a wealthy democracy like the UK, France, or Germany.
Perhaps that's a WesternEuropeCulturalAssumption
; the assumption that all of Europe holds the same values as folks living in Western Europe.
You're kidding right? More like an
about Europeans!
That's kind of ironic considering that America actually includes Canada, Mexico, and several South and Central American countries with various cultural values and economic statuses, but when we say America, we mean the USA.
This is, of course, false. 'America' always means the USA in the English language. If you want a more inclusive term, 'North America', 'South America', and 'the Americas' are all
used in English, as opposed to the non-English language advocated above.
Yeah but then how are you going to refer to all people in the Americas
including yourself
? In Spanish, they use Americans to refer to the inhabitants of both Americas and Yanqui to refer to the bloody Yanks. So while the previous statement is false as is, it's true if you replace America with American.
I've ran into plenty of folks from WesternEurope
who tend to hold that assumption; who speak of "European values" when what the really mean is the values common to European social democracies like France, Germany, the Benelux, or Scandinavia. Other parts of Europe have a markedly different point of view on many matters - in particular the poorer parts to the east.
Certainly, Americans (some of us) do hold cultural assumptions about Europe; some of the nastier ones got aired in the aftermath of the UN debate concerning the War on Iraq. But Europe is hardly free of its own set of cultural assumptions.
Perhaps it's just that Western Europeans simply don't think of Eastern Europe as existing. The same way that Americans tend to think that Canada and Mexico don't exist.
The problem is more likely that very few things can be considered to be European cultural assumptions as there is such a wide cultural difference between each European state. In the US, you can be a long way from a border to a different country. In Europe, you will rarely be more than a couple hours drive to somewhere which speaks a different language and has different food, art and possibly social goals as well. (I'm aware there are large difference in the States as well but I do have the European cultural assumption that they aren't as big as here is Europe.) --
Where do you draw the line between abbreviation and cultural assumption? We do say Europe to refer to the EU in certain cases (and you would be able to tell which from context), but that does not imply we are unaware of eastern Europe, indeed many eastern European states have joined the EU or are in the process of joining.
There is no such thing as a "European Culture". Consider Germany, France, Luxemburg, Belgium, the Netherlands, Suisse, Austria, Czech Republic, Poland, Italy, Spain, Sweden, each of which has its very own specific cultural, historical and ethnic identity, outlined by the fact that they were at war with each other or themselves through some period in history (often several times). Most of these countries inhabitants won't even understand other languages than their own, excluding countries that don't officially have their own language (Suisse and Austria, though their dialects are hardly understood by anybody else).
A common mistake of US Americans is to regard Europe as a whole, probably due to the fact that they live on a continent where you can get away with two languages and one currency. The EU is a union of nations, not a nation of states like the US.
Probably much more due to the fact that European politics is so radically different from Anglo politics. Europe has largely social-democracies, or states that aspire to being social democracies. Anglo countries are tyrannies and they aspire to becoming ever more tyrannical. What that means is that Europe is committed to no particular economic order, so long as the one they have works acceptably. Meanwhile, the Anglo countries are committed to TotalitarianCapitalism
(what people euphemistically call neo-liberalism) OR ELSE.
Don't forget that Europeans advocate Socialism, namely:
When it comes to economics, slicing the pie is all-important and growing the pie is irrelevant.
When it comes to socialist institutions, throwing good money after bad is better than throwing no money after good.
If I raise exorbitant taxes to subsidise a government institution (like national healthcare), it somehow becomes 'free'.
Ah, a lovely example of
about Europe.
No wonder the average European (not average poor European, AVERAGE European) is below the USA's poverty line...
No wonder no less than ten European countries rank higher than the USA on The Economist's "quality-of-life" index. See
Yeah, quality of life is such a hard objective metric that withstands scientific and statistical scrutiny. And quality of life has 100% to do with one's country, not one's situation, mindset or culture...
So your overall point is... What?
That this is becoming yet another goddamned
Quality of life is a dumb rejoinder anyhow. The proper response was pointing out that the
has been in free-fall in the USA for more than a decade, and IIRC, since Reagan. So while the Europeans are committed to allocating the pie properly, the Anglos all talk talk talk about growing the pie while they smash smash smash it into inedible pieces in order to get the biggest chunks for themselves. Because we all know that fighting is so efficient.
Another European cultural assumption is that human rights refers to the 20th century Universal Declaration of Human Rights or to some other theoretical moral system that produces more or less the same results as the UDHR. In the USA this is not so since they subscribe to the 17th century morality of Social Contract Theory invented by John Locke.
As the Yank above points out, people in the USA don't consider health care to be a human right and so a necessary element of a free society. It's something that they all want, excluding extremist lunatics, something they all think would be a good idea, but they've been successfully propagandized into believing that they don't have any actual rights to it. Hence the ridiculous rejoinder that government paid health care isn't free. The Yanks don't have a very good conception of freedom at all and so they continually confuse gratis with libre; they don't understand that free health care means libre health care. And of course, in order for health care to be libre it has to be gratis. Just imagine a libre election where you had to a pay 1000$ user fee to vote.
I think you're equating Anglo and US here sometimes. Anglo surely has to include the UK, but that has free-at-the-point-of-delivery universal health care (and has incorporated the (equivalent of) the UHDR into the law). It sits (culturally as well as geographically) somewhere between a lot of European countries and the US.

Congenital Dislocation of the Hip.
—In a detailed statistical study of 387 cases of congenital dislocation of the hip, representing 501 dislocated hips treated during the period of 1915 to 1933, Steindler and his co-workers1 reported the results of both closed and open methods of reduction. They concluded that the results of the closed method were not as conclusively satisfactory as those reported by other authors and that the results became definitely worse with duration of the period of observation. They expressed the belief that in order to be accurate, the end-results should be regarded as significant only after full growth has been obtained. The authors used open reduction as a supplementary method and therefore did not attempt to compare the results obtained by open with those obtained by closed reduction. They considered the indications for open reduction to be the inability to reduce or to maintain

As the 2014 French Open winds down, the results of the men's semifinals gave the tennis world the matchup everyone wanted to see.
The greatest clay-court player in the sport's history appeared vulnerable headed into the tournament, but Rafael Nadal showed against Andy Murray why he is still the top-ranked player in the world. Likewise, despite some adversity, Novak Djokovic fended off Ernests Gulbis to reach the final.
Check out the full scores and analysis from the semifinal matches, as well as an early preview of the men's final.
|(2) Novak Djokovic vs. (18) Ernests Gulbis
|Djokovic 6-3, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3
|(1) Rafael Nadal vs. (7) Andy Murray
|Nadal 6-3, 6-2, 6-1
via ESPN.com
Djokovic Powers Through
After two easy sets, it appeared Djokovic would cruise his way into the final. Gulbis' balance was clearly off early in the match, as he sprayed forehands all over the court and ended the second set in fitting fashion with a double fault.
However, despite these early frustrations, the 25-year-old Latvian was superb in the third set, hitting numerous backhand winners as he simply outclassed Djokovic for a brief period. The Serbian star showed his frustration in breaking his racket at the beginning of the fourth set and appeared sick after the match, per Douglas Robson of USA Today:
Djokovic took more than 2 hours to come to press and referred to some physical issues he did not want to discuss, but sounded a little sick.— Douglas Robson (@dougrobson) June 6, 2014
But Djokovic's superior serve coupled with Gulbis' error-prone tendencies ultimately swung the match in favor of the higher seed. Djokovic was timely on the return, winning five of his 10 break-point opportunities. Conversely, Gulbis struggled with his serve, getting just 57 percent of his first serves in, and won only two of seven break points.
Matt Zemek of Bloguin talked about Djokovic's play after the match:
Looking ahead to the final, Djokovic and his fans should be concerned about only 1 non-Nadal-related factor: the weather (hot temperatures).— Matt Zemek (@mzemek) June 6, 2014
Djokovic will now have an opportunity to win his first French Open in his second finals appearance. Doing so would make him the eighth player to win the career Grand Slam and place him in the same pantheon as rivals Nadal and Roger Federer.
Nadal Dominates
Sometimes, legends remind us why they are considered the best in their respective fields. Rafael Nadal's semifinal throttling of Andy Murray was such an instance, as the No. 1 seed reinforced his status as the best clay-court player in the world, even in spite of recent injuries.
In many ways, this match felt like a message to Djokovic. Nadal hit 24 winners to just 15 unforced errors, and was a perfect 6-of-6 in break-point opportunities. He only conceded 11 points on his service all match, winning an astounding 91 percent of his first-serve points.
Since his back injury at the Australian Open, there have been very few instances of vintage Nadal. But even the humble Nadal conceded that the semifinal represented one of his best matches of the year:
Rafa #Nadal: "I played my highest level today." #Kin9ofClay pic.twitter.com/NFc6z7CSYw— RafaNadalFANS (@RafaNadalFANS) June 6, 2014
It's hard to imagine him replicating that form in the final, mostly because it may be physically impossible to play better. However, whatever lingering doubts existed about Nadal's health were extinguished with this match. Instead, Nadal's aura of invincibility at the French Open returned just at the right moment.
Men's Final
How will the French Open final play out?
Needless to say, a Nadal-Djokovic match holds significant historical implications. Djokovic needs at least one French title to begin to compare his career to Nadal or Federer, while Nadal can win his 14th major and move into a tie with Pete Sampras for second-most grand slams of all time.
Djokovic has held the edge in recent seasons, winning the past four meetings. That includes a clay-court victory in their most recent meeting, the Rome final that took place in the tune-up to Roland Garros. In fact, Djokovic has won two of their past three clay-court meetings, as he also defeated Nadal at the 2013 Monte Carlo Masters.
Zemek talked about how dominant the pair have been of late:
What was once the Big Four is, at the moment, the Big Two. Are there slight blips and deviations? Sure. Over the long run of time, tho....— Matt Zemek (@mzemek) June 6, 2014
Of course, Nadal has been hampered by injuries throughout that stretch, but he has appeared fit throughout this fortnight. The French Open remains his kingdom, and with eight titles in the past nine years, it is fallacious to doubt the Spaniard's ability to win.
But this is clearly the tightest matchup in recent years, as a Nadal victory is far from a foregone conclusion. Thus, it appears tennis fans are in for one of the most exciting grand slam finals in recent memory.

Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Teva Pharmaceutical Industries said it will spend about $20 million to conduct trials in the U.K., plus an additional $1 million on basic research into dementia, through a collaboration with the U.K.'s new clinical drug development effort.
Teva will team up with the U.K.'s new National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Office for Clinical Research Infrastructure (NOCRI), a new entity designed to create a single point of entry for drug developers into the complex U.K. healthcare system.
NOCRI, unveiled yesterday by the National Health Service, is designed to save drug developers time otherwise spent dealing separately with medical and academic institutions involved in clinical development. By joining with NOCRI, Teva hopes to benefit from the NIHR's new translational research infrastructure and its ability to set-up and deliver studies, as well as from NHS's access to cohorts of patients.
Teva also said it will spend up to $1 million in a three-year dementia research program designed to fund early stage work in U.K. academic and medical centers. Research will be focused on understanding targets, mechanisms and new approaches to treatment of different causes and types of dementia.
NOCRI will facilitate Teva's access to the NIHR's Biomedical Research Centres and Units in Dementia, and the institute's Translational Research Partnership in Dementia. Under the collaboration, Teva maintains the right to negotiate licenses to the targets.
Michael Hayden, M.D., Ph.D., Teva's president of global R&D and CSO, announced the clinical initiative at a special UK-Israel Tech Hub at the British Embassy Israel event, held at Teva's Jerusalem site. The event was attended by Erez Vigodman, Teva's president and CEO; as well as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron.
"The meaning of Teva is nature, and it is in the nature of Israelis and Brits to be entrepreneurial," Cameron said in a statement. "Success in technology, innovation, and the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries are a must if Israel and Britain are to compete in the global race."

Zombies Roam The Streets Of Tokyo For Parade Of The 'Undead'
Category: Media & Culture
/ Apr 01, 2013 3:57PM EDT
Stumbling and groaning, around 50 zombies wandered through the streets of Tokyo on Sunday (March 31) for a parade of the undead. While over 150 willing participants showed up to the reception, only the first 40 people were allowed to participate due to parade permit restrictions. The parade kicked off at 2 pm local time and lasted about 45 minutes as the slow-moving zombies made their way through the parade route. Zombie mania has not made as big an impact in Japan as it has elsewhere but event organizer Naomi told Reuters she definitely sees an increase in those interested in the 'undead' culture due to the influence of foreign films and TV programs. Originally, event organisers wanted to create a zombie flash mob, but strict city rules and over-crowded Tokyo streets prevented it. "In Japan it is pretty hard to do that (zombie flash mobs) so unless we follow the rules to set-up a gathering we won't be able to apply to have the movement, so until now there were no precedents for this kind of activity but we love zombies and we wanted to do this so we organized the event," Naomi said. While some participants arrived in character, others were transformed on site by volunteers. Some zombies said it was their love of zombie culture that prompted them to participate. Two recent college graduates said it was a last chance to do something that might otherwise be viewed unacceptable as a professional. "At the conclusion of my student career I thought to become a zombie and die once, then be re-born again as a new freshman company employee," Erika Takakuwa, who will starts her new job Monday (April 1). For many, the best part of the zombie walk is the scary make-up. "I haven't had a chance to check how I look yet so I am a little scared," 22-year-old Sae Iwamura said. The next Zombie Walk is scheduled for May 2013. (Video Source: REUTERS)

A couple weeks ago I received a letter from my former employer's 401(k) benefits company notifying me that I had $0.83 in my 401(k) account. Despite my best efforts avoid dividends and distributions on funds [3], I must have missed one in the process. I was told that since my vested account balance was less than $1,000, I'd have to roll it over or take a distribution, which would be taxed and penalized.
I was in a quandary. At such a small dollar amount, it certainly wasn't worth the time to roll it over. If it appreciated at an average rate of 7% a year for forty years, it's would be worth a mere $12.43. That'll be enough to buy me a pack of bubble gum after taxes in 2049.
Why not just take the $0.83 distribution? I did this last time when I had a little less than $5 because the hassle just wasn't worth it. They withheld 20%, which was less than a $1, and my accountant, upon seeing this, laughed. Since the tax withheld was less than a dollar, it was rounded into oblivion. 20% was withheld and I never even got credit for it… so I was doubled taxed on the rollover.
Out of principle (and, to be honest, stubbornness), I wasn't going to let it happen again. The tricky part is that at such a small dollar amount, the cost of a stamp would make it a losing proposition. The solution was to have the 401(k) plan mail the rollover check directly to Vanguard. In the past I've always had the check mailed to me and then I mailed it to Vanguard along with instructions of how the funds were to be invested. I was forced to do this because one of my employer's 401(k) plan refused, as a matter of their protocols, to mail the check directly to another plan. Fortunately, this was a different employer and they were willing to mail it direct.
As with any rollover, find out the information that the receiving institution requires before sending the check. In my case, Vanguard needed the check to be made out to VFTC (Vanguard FTC or Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Corporation), FBO [Account Holder's Name] (this is typically automatically on a rollover check), and a Fund-Account Number pair. Then you mail it to their standard PO Box 1110, Valley Forge PA address.
Should be settled in 7 business days and hopefully this is the last I hear about this account!

RANGOON — Burmese women's rights activists and government officials aim to finish drafting a bill by the end of the year to prevent violence against women, activists say.
"Once enacted, it would be the first law to ensure the protection of women from all forms of violence, including physical, mental, sexual and verbal violence," May Sabe Phyu, a peace activist and coordinator of the Gender Equality Network (GEN), a large network of civil society organizations, told The Irrawaddy on Friday.
Activists began drafting the bill with the Ministry of Social Welfare, Relief and Resettlement in 2012.
"We are still in the drafting process on the anti-violence against women [bill]," Myat Myat Ohn Khin, the minister of social welfare, relief and resettlement, told The Irrawaddy. "We have been drafting bills for disabled people, childhood development and other socio-economic issues, so we are trying our best."
Thirteen Burmese activists recently joined a Burmese government delegation in traveling to London to attend a summit that raised awareness about sexual violence in conflicts around the world.
At a press briefing about the trip in Rangoon on Friday, the activists, including May Sabe Phyu, said Burmese victims of rape and sexual violence desperately required greater assistance.
They called on Burma to bring perpetrators of sexual violence to justice, particularly in ethnic areas, where soldiers from the government's army have been accused of using rape as a weapon of war against ethnic armed groups.
Burma is one of 150 countries that has endorsed the Declaration of Commitment to End Sexual Violence in Conflict, a UN declaration launched last year.
"We welcome that the international community and the Burmese government have endorsed the commitment to end sexual violence in conflict, but we need to be careful that it is not just for show," May Sabe Phyu said, urging concrete action. "The voices of civil society groups need to be heard for greater effectiveness."
The activists said victims of sexual violence in Burma often face threats and other obstacles to reporting their cases, while perpetrators are rarely brought to court. They said Chin women have been threatened with arrest after protesting against military rapes recently in Chin State.
Susanna Hla Hla Soe, an activist from the Karen Women's Empowerment Group who also attended the summit in London, noted that Burmese soldiers accused of rape are not prosecuted in civilian courts.
"Gender discrimination persists in Burma, which harms development, liberty and peace," she said, adding that it was positive that Burma was one of six countries that pledged at the summit in London to start implementing within the next six months a framework to end sexual violence.
noted that Burmese soldiers accused of rape are not prosecuted in civilian courts, INSTEAD, they are awarded with numerous HIGH HONORS MEDALS TILES. The military never brought the cases to not only the civilian courts, but also to the military courts. The Government soldiers are issued the license to Rape, Kill, Torture, Looting, Burning all creatures (including the Animals) in the areas where the peoples do not speak Burmese.

Lyric Poetry and Modern Politicsby Clare Cavanagh
Lyric Poetry and Modern Politics explores the intersection of poetry, national life, and national identity in Poland and Russia, from 1917 to the present. As a corrective to recent trends in criticism, acclaimed translator and critic Clare Cavanagh demonstrates how the practice of the personal lyric in totalitarian states such as Russia and Poland did not represent an escapist tendency; rather it reverberated as a bold political statement and at times a dangerous act. Cavanagh also provides a comparative study of modern poetry from the perspective of the eastern and western sides of the Iron Curtain. Among the poets discussed are Blok, Mayakovsky, Akhmatova, Yeats, Whitman, Frost, Szymborska, Zagajewski, and Milosz; close readings of individual poems are included, some translated for the first time. Cavanagh examines these poets and their work as a challenge to Western postmodernist theories, thus offering new perspectives on twentieth-century lyric poetry.

i dont think this would be impossible and i dont think apple would stand in the way of it. apple would probably make the hardware and get money for it. they make car kits right? if they made the usb dongle or whatever its money for them.
the problem is will it make them enough money to make it viable to put into production. maybe a nice usb to stereo jack would work so any player (ipod, zune creative) could just plug in and audio is heard but channel would still have to be changed on the mp3 player.

|EcommerceBytes-NewsFlash, Number 2547 - May 20, 2011 - ISSN 1539-5065 2 of 5
After nearly two years of an experimental beta trial on the Sears.com marketplace, ecommerce software provider Zoovy recently decided that it was "ready for prime time," and announced the general availability of its integration.
Zoovy CEO Brian Horakh explained that many of the features of the Sears marketplace track closely to Amazon, and that a seller's experience on the ecommerce giant might be a good indicator of the viability of setting up shop on Sears.com.
"The top-performing categories for us are in line with what we'd expect from sellers based on their Amazon performance - meaning more successful sellers on Amazon seem to be substantially more successful on Sears, whereas clients who are only moderately successful on Amazon see little to no success on Sears," Horakh said. "Another way to phrase that would be: if you're not already dominating your category on Amazon, then Sears may not be worth the time."
Horakh said the rules and regulations closely mirror Amazon's, which leaves the available categories broadly open.
"Sears is a general merchandise retailer, so anything that is pretty mainstream seems to do well," he said.
At the same time, he noted that the cross-selling feature doesn't stack up to Amazon's, which has been renowned for making successful recommendations of products that consumers didn't search for.
Sellers can find more information about fees and merchant services available on the Sears marketplace here.
More broadly, Horakh sees the maturation of marketplaces like Sears.com and Buy.com, with which Zoovy also recently integrated, as a signpost on the road toward a profound shift in ecommerce as aggregation becomes the preferred method of shopping for most consumers, and looking for products through a Web-wide search engine is gradually marginalized.
"We believe the majority of ecommerce consumers would prefer to have a relationship with an aggregated marketplace, which offers a consistent shopping experience, predictable shipping/returns and secure payment processing," Horakh said. "Today the incentives are clear: having one place to look up all order statuses, one return process, and only one big vendor to hold credit card information just makes sense - even if consumers have to pay a little more, they'll get it back in membership rewards or some other incentives."
Down the line, he looks for a handful, perhaps as many as five, marketplace giants to emerge and distance themselves from the fringe players. To Horakh's mind, Amazon has already secured its place among the elites. He sees eBay as a strong incumbent, if less of a certainty. In the next tier down, vying for position, is a pack of competitors that includes Sears, Buy.com, NewEgg Mall, Overstock.com and Walmart with the semi-closed platform it runs in partnership with CSN.
Those marketplaces can be expected to further differentiate their shopping experiences through interfaces outside of the Web such as iPad apps, along with integrations with social platforms like Facebook, where merchants can mine relationship and preference information to develop detailed consumer profiles.
"I'm not predicting the end of the "search on Google, find a website, and buy it" Web-based shopping paradigm that we use today, but I'm saying 10 years out, it's an absolute certainty that it's a dramatically smaller piece of the landscape than it is today," Horakh said. "Any retailer that isn't pursuing a website-plus-multi-marketplace aggregation strategy today will be like retailers who "forgot to get websites" in the late 90s."

Their biggest storyline
Dex crashing his car led into Charles' most challenging storyline ever.
September 27 2013, 11:07am
Welcome to Summer Bay, not a dark cloud in sight.
Dexter wears his sense of humour like a suit of armour. After all he's been through, with his parents' separation, he's relied on his quick wit and keen sense of irony to keep him from falling into the pit of frustration and disappointment his father Sid has dug for him and his sister. Even though his fresh, funny approach to life's challenges makes him attractive to the girls, his heart has been broken by his parents' inability to keep their promises to each other.
He has been forced to grow up quickly, although he still misses his mother. He can be extremely annoying and embarrassing to his older sister, but can also be supportive to both Indi and Sid.
The Walker family got quite the surprise when Dex's half-sister Sasha stormed into town, following the death of her mother. With Dex and Sasha sharing a dad in Sid, the Walker household got a whole lot more complicated with Sasha moving into the farm. Resenting the fact that Sid wanted them all to play happy families, Sasha ran with the wrong crowd and made Dex's life hell.
However, Dex and Sasha soon realised that they had more in common than they thought. Their similar quirky personalities have seen the pair get on really well. With Sasha constantly finding herself in sticky situations, she's always seeking Dex out for a word of advice.
After a few break-ups, Dex and April have finally admitted their love for each other. When Sid moved out of the farm, April took up residency in Dex's room. However, when Dex was seriously injured in a car accident (Ruby tampered with Indi's car, not expecting that Dex would be driving it) their relationship hit a rough patch. Left with a brain injury, Dex effectively lost his personality and didn't want April near him, seeing himself as a burden to everyone around him. He suffered seizures and would have to be kept calm at all times to avoid more episodes.
Luckily, his "Dexness" has since returned! Similarly, his love for April - tenfold! Following Romeo's shock death, the couple put their own lives into perspective and Dex asks April to marry him, again. This time, it feels right and April happily accepts.
Dex crashing his car led into Charles' most challenging storyline ever.

All we want to do is go home...
After a much needed girls' night out last Friday, my sister and a friend of mine decided that it was time to head home. We were eating and talking for hours, and we decided that it was time to leave the restaraunt. Unfortunately we were way too exhausted to travel home by TTC, so we agreed to grab a cab.
We piled into a nearby cab and we were off. A few minutes into our journey, the taxi driver asked us, "Are you allergic to smoke?" We thought that his question was a little peculiar, but we told him that we do not smoke and we did not want to smell like smoke either.
After that situation, the cab driver went back to his call (he was on his cell phone) and we sat in the backseat in silence. I was happy because I had a long day, and I just wanted to go home and relax. I was practically picturing myself getting into my pajamas and diving into my big, cozy bed.
About 10 minutes away from home, our cab pulled up at a red light, right behind another vehicle. The light turned green and the cab driver proceeded to drive. The driver in front of him hadn't moved as of yet, and in a matter seconds, all we heard was a loud crash. Both my sister and my friend's head flung forward.
I was happy that we weren't seriously injured, but I was furious at the carelessness of our driver.
The police arrived on the scene within minutes of the crash. They spoke to both drivers—the cab driver and the driver of the car that was hit. They asked us if we were okay and that was it. They didn't take our names or ask for details on the accident.
To make matters even worse, after the cab driver spoke to the police officers, he had the audacity to ask us to pay the fare! After I argued with him for a good 5 minutes, we stupidly paid. (we were surrounded by a few police officers and all) When you think about it, we actually paid to be in an accident!?! Go figure.
After we gave him the money, the officers said that we were free to leave. I asked him if he needed some information about the accident and he said no. I left the scene very angry. Not only were we left to wait in the chilly evening air for what seemed like eternity, but we weren't given any information.
My sister recently called the police station to follow up with the accident and was told that this accident was never reported.
To all of you that take cabs, keep your eyes on the driver!
peace & love

Crowds cheered him when he emitted 'kui-kui' sound of the ambulance at public meetings
ADILABAD: It was certainly not for the love of mimicry that Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy imitated the siren of the 108 ambulances in his public addresses. The crowds cheered their Chief Minister when he emitted the 'kui-kui, kui-kui' because he endeavoured to underscore the importance of this unique service in the rural and backward areas like Adilabad district.
Rajasekhara Reddy had perceived the need for the government to run a service like the 108 ambulance and its likely impact in rural the areas in the early days of the launch of Emergency Medical Research Institute by Satyam software company. The efficacy of the service under the government became quite evident from the initial phase itself and it was no wonder that other State governments too incorporated the idea.
Rajasekhara Reddy was so convinced of the political potential of the 108 ambulance that he was reported to have admitted that this service was one of the major reasons for him to be returned to power for the second successive time. After the fall of the Satyam empire, he was understood to have become more determined to run it notwithstanding the cost.
The launch
The EMRI was launched in the State on August 15, 2005, with 17 ambulances. The service was started in Adilabad on July 18, 2006, with just two ambulances. At present, there are 30 ambulances that provide emergency medical service in some of the most remote parts in the district. There is demand for more such ambulances in some of the areas that are not yet covered by the service.
The 108 ambulance service, now run with State government contribution, was re-launched on April 14, 2007, across the district. At present, it is being run with 100 per cent government contribution.
"We now do 700 to 800 cases of deliveries," points out Jayant Kumar Thakur, the EMRI Adilabad district manager, talking about the service offered by the 108 ambulance in this hilly district. "Thanks to the 108 ambulance, the death rate during pregnancy has come down in the district. This ambulance is also a life-saver when epidemics break out in the tribal areas," he adds.
