Federer/Nadal: The Rapture, Once Again
A running diary of this morning's Australian Open semifinal match
By Brian Phillips onI have a few core beliefs. First, Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal are — with due respect to Pete Sampras, Ivan Lendl, and Novak Djokovic — the two greatest male tennis players of my lifetime. Second, their rivalry is one of the best in the history of tennis. Third, Nadal seems like someone who would have really enjoyed War Horse. I don't know why, he just does. It's extremely easy to imagine him telling an interviewer, "I was touched, in my heart, by what that little horse went through." Federer would have said he liked it but secretly been irritated by the incompetence of the military leaders. Sometimes you can just tell things about people.
So when Federer and Nadal drew each other in the semifinals of the Australian Open, there was no way I wasn't getting up at 3:30 a.m. to watch. The last time these guys played in Melbourne, they turned in an otherworldly, four-hour-and-22-minute war/ballet/epic that Nadal won 7-5, 3-6, 7-6(3), 3-6, 6-2, leaving Federer sobbing and speechless. It was maybe their third-best match.
I didn't know if I could survive the rematch.1 I didn't know if Earth could survive the rematch. But I had to see what would happen. And oh, I kept a running diary — you know, in case it might help future alien anthropologists decipher the ruin of our world.
First Set: The Falcon Cannot Hear the Falconer
3:36 am ET — And Federer takes the court in a red polo shirt and snazzy olive jacket. I know not every tournament can be Wimbledon, but it's really weird to see Federer in anything other than a crisp white suit. I blame the Rolex commercials. He's like a young Mark Twain at this point.
3:37 — Our first glimpse of Nadal, who's wearing his classic "so yellow it's green, so green it's yellow, so yellow it's annoying" T-shirt. Is it deer season at Melbourne Park? Is he auditioning to be a goalkeeper for Chelsea?
3:40 — The two players share a tense but courteous hit-around. The hit-around is one of my favorite customs in tennis. Let's help each other warm up before we try to annihilate each other!
3:43 — We're treated to our first "Hey, look! Australia!" shot of waves cresting into an idyllic beach. It's pretty sad, really, given that the beach, and all life on earth, will shortly be coming to an end.
3:45 — We are under way. Federer's first serve is a fault. Then he reels off four straight points to take a 1-0 lead. I'm not sure this tells us much.
3:47 — ESPN flashes a graphic breaking down Nadal's 7-2 record against Federer in majors. What's crazy is that if you took out the French Open, where Nadal's 5-0, they'd be tied at 2-2. So (a) over half their meetings in majors have been on clay! And (b) they've played dead even on every other surface. There are so many fascinating "what-ifs" around this stat it's hard to know where to start. Does it prove Nadal is better than Federer (because he's dominated on clay)? Or does it prove Federer is better than Nadal (because he's made it to more finals on his weakest surface)? What if they'd met in five Wimbledon finals instead? There's just nothing that isn't compelling about this rivalry.
3:48 — As if on cue, we get our first close-up on a Nadal super-scowl. This one could melt lead. He looks like a volcano that wants a picnic to erupt on. He won the last point, by the way.
3:51 — Still on his own serve, Nadal somehow puts a Federer overhead smash back in play. A rattled Federer clunks the next forehand wide. And here's our first Nadal FIST PUMP AND BELLOW!! of the match.
3:54 — But wait! Federer uses a wicked, wicked crosscourt backhand to break Nadal on his first service game of the match. 2-0 Roger. Hello, interesting.
3:55 — Nadal is going back to his usual strategy of working over Federer's backhand. But now Federer runs around one and takes the point on a dainty forehand drop shot. Suddenly it's 3-0. Everything looking good for Federer so far.
3:57 — Nadal's scowl is entering "soccer hooligan in solitary confinement" territory. Federer, by contrast, has yet to register his first facial expression of the match.
3:59 — Federer snaps a backhand, catches the ball on the rim of his racket, and watches it doink to the ground about six inches away. I know this match is the harbinger of the apocalypse, but that was just pure comedy.
4:00 — So, hey, it's four o'clock in the morning! I'm sitting in a completely dark room eating banana bread while watching the best tennis players of my lifetime duke it out 10,000 miles away. Just another morning on Earth.
4:03 — Nadal finally manages to win his serve, then drops the next game to a couple of astonishing, i.e., utterly characteristic, Federer forehands. 4-1. Federer's currently serving 93 percent and has won all but two points on his first serve. There's got to be another shoe here, right? Could we be looking at one of Nadal's astonishing (i.e., utterly characteristic) "digging deeper than humanly possible and rallying so ferociously things in the stadium spontaneously catch on fire" comebacks?
4:08 — Federer hits his sixth forehand winner of the game, a desperation get that somehow drops in after everyone, including me, thought it was wide. Roger reacts by maintaining exactly the same facial expression and peacefully looking at the ground.
4:10 — Nadal serves an ace to move the first set to 4-2. The camera cuts to a shot of the Nadal box. A lot of dudes brought their Wayfarers to the apocalypse.
4:12 — Big early game coming up. Federer needs a hold to take a commanding 5-2 lead. If Nadal gets the break, we're suddenly back on serve at 4-3.
4:13 — Leading 15-30, Federer dumps a backhand volley into the net. First moment so far when he's really looked shaky.
4:14 — At 30-all, Federer misses a backhand down the line. On break point, Nadal rips, I mean just absolutely crushes the holy life out of, a crosscourt backhand winner. And we're back on serve. Federer was cruising up 'til now. One of those sudden 4-2 turnarounds that completely change the tone of a match.
4:16 — Nadal sneers in a way that says, "If I were the horse in War Horse, I would have conquered Europe, declared myself god-king, and subjected the humans to the lash."
4:17 — Federer hits three terrible shots in a row to let Nadal hold at love. Four games all in the first set.
4:20 — Now Federer holds at love for 5-4. Tension is building like crazy. It's impossible to say who's got the upper hand.
4:23 — Now NADAL holds at love for 5-5! For the record, that's three straight dominant holds. You could cut the tension with a knife right now. More to the point, the tension could cut you with a knife.
4:26 — Leading 40-0, Federer misses an easy forehand drop shot, the first time either guy has scored on the other's serve in almost four games. Doesn't matter, because Federer wins the next point to go up 6-5. He reacts by maintaining exactly the same facial expression but maybe just flashing an almost imperceptible fist pump?
4:28 — The camera cuts to a shot of Melbourne looking beautiful in the sunset. Enjoy your last glimpse of it, for tonight the horsemen ride.
4:30 — General observation: Nadal's leaping forehand is one of the most violent-looking shots in tennis. It's like he's not hitting a tennis shot so much as he's decapitating a ghost.
4:32 — We've gone to a tiebreak, by the way. Some key match stats: My heart is beating 9,700 times a minute, I've consumed about 400 mg of caffeine, it's 4:30 in the morning, I have an 82 percent chance of experiencing hallucinations within the next five minutes.
4:36 — Federer jumps out to a 4-1 lead in the tiebreak. That earns us the evening's first cut to Mirka Cam. Based on the refined way she's clapping, Mirka appears to be off watching an opera somewhere.
4:38 — This could be me hallucinating, but Federer just stopped playing a point in order to challenge a call that the ball was in. He loses the challenge, loses the point, and suddenly it's 4-3 in the tiebreak. Federer is as bad at the challenge part of tennis as he is good at all the other parts of tennis.
4:38 — Fortunately, he recovers in time to cap off a tough rally with a gorgeous deep forehand volley. 5-3.
4:40 — Federer, suddenly dictating play, pulls Nadal up to the net, where he loses his balance and tumbles to the ground. Three set points. Nadal scowls. Federer reacts by not changing his facial expression at all and dabbing his forehead with a towel.
4:41 — Nadal holds both his serves for 6-5. Federer has one more shot to serve out the set. He serves a fault. Tension is building skyscrapers all over the place. But then Federer somehow wins a cautious rally to take the first set 7-6(5). He reacts by actually making a small sound and visibly moving his fist. Just unbelievable emotion from the veteran Swiss.
Second Set: The Blood-Dimmed Tide Is Loose
4:45 — Nadal is now glaring at the court surface as if he can see 3,000 miles underground to the place where he will dig to begin his comeback.
4:47 — Federer hits a jaw-dropping backhand passing shot to set up three break points, then wins the first one to break Nadal at love. 1-0 Federer in the second.
4:48 — Nadal is scowling to the point where he appears to be made out of bees.
4:50 — And it helps, because he breaks Federer right back at love. 1-1. Am I crazy or does it almost seem like these guys have a good tennis rivalry? I'm crazy, right?
4:52 — Nine forehand winners for Nadal so far. Nine ghosts currently sprawled headless on the court. Nine ghost families weeping piteously behind their Wayfarers in the stands.
4:58 — Federer's been consistently going for big shots on his backhand return, and for the most part, it's been working. Given that Nadal's strategy against Federer always involves taking his backhand's lunch money while avoiding its big brother (the forehand), this is potentially a big deal.
5:03 — Isn't every day Australia Day in Australia? Apparently not! Only today is Australia Day, meaning that we could soon be playing under a sky full of fireworks. Which would be totally appropriate to the occasion, of course. Though it might make it harder to detect the start of the apocalypse.
5:06 — Federer warps in a serve that is mathematically and physically, and kind of morally, impossible to return. Nadal returns it. On the next point, Federer hits a leaping behind-the-back overhead volley, an astounding winner that Nadal somehow chases down and returns for an even more astounding crosscourt passing shot. Are those lights the fireworks? This isn't just in my head, is it?
5:09 — Nadal wins a huge break point to go up 4-2 in the second. Rafa is now screaming and punching the air after every single point. Big, big game ahead
5:12 — which Nadal wins handily. 5-2. Nadal stalks off with a sneer that says, "If I were War Horse, I would have torn the Kaiser apart with my own bare hooves."
5:15 — And the sky fills up with fireworks. The players leave the court, we're told, to wait out the show in a "massage room." The break couldn't have come at a better time for Federer. He's looking as tired as I feel. Maybe tireder.
5:25 — Back from the pause, and nothing's changed: Nadal breaks an increasingly hazy-looking Federer at love to take the second set 6-2. That was a slaughter. That was just straight-up Australian tennis. In France, doing that to another human being could get you arrested.
Third Set: The Ceremony of Innocence Has Drowned
5:27 — And this is basically the story of this rivalry, right? That is, one of the fundamental things that everyone seems to sense about these players is that Nadal has limitless tenacity, never gives up, gets stronger as the match progresses, and loves the fight for its own sake, while Federer, for all his sublime talent, can turn confoundingly soft on the rare occasions when the momentum turns against him. Just every now and again, there's a Strange Federer Softness. Sometimes you get the sense that he feels he's proved his point in the early games and expects the rest of the match to fall into line out of courtesy. And if it doesn't, if things don't work out as a logical extension of those first few games, he's taken aback. It's not that he lacks the mental strength to compete, more that he loses his decision-making ability because he's genuinely perplexed. He's like a ship in becalmed waters. Anyway, this third set will be vital for him.
5:36 — Federer overcomes a couple of break points, an ad-deuce-ad deadlock, and seven (!) unforced errors to hold his first serve in the third. It's 1-1, but right now it's taking absolutely everything just for Federer to stay in this.
5:42 — Both players hold for 2-2 in the third. It's still anybody's set. Talking about the Djokovic-Murray matchup in the other semifinal, Chris Fowler calls it "just about as compelling as this." Which is true, but that's the San Andreas Fault of "just abouts."
5:46 — Mirka Cam shows her delicately clasping her hands together as if vaguely distressed. Perhaps the tenor is in some sort of trouble in the opera she's watching?
5:49 — Nadal wins a goofy point when the ball clips off the net cord and pops up high just as Federer is rushing the net. It was a lucky break for Nadal, whose sneer says, "I am War Horse, and luck is my bitch."
5:51 — Federer's won 17 of 31 net points. Nadal: 3 of 8. Rafa is killing Roger on passing shots.
5:52 — Two more routine holds for 3-3. After the bloodbath of the second set, the third is settling into a more level back-and-forth rhythm. Federer has paused the carnage, at least for now.
5:58 — The camera picks up a bunch of joyful Nadal fans dancing around a Spanish flag, then cuts to Mirka, who runs a thumb coolly along her eyebrow. Let's be honest: Sometimes it's hard to avoid national stereotypes when you're following this rivalry.
6:00 — Like a bullfighter dancing a fiery tango with danger, red cape swirling, castanets clicking on his fingers, Nadal directs a hot-blooded stare across the net toward his pale, aloof, chocolate-loving, punctual opponent.
6:01 — After holding off three break points, Nadal dumps a crosscourt backhand into the net. Federer leads 4-3 — first time in an hour it's felt like he's in the match. Federer, of course, reacts by not changing his facial expression at all and glancing idly at his racket.
6:04 — And just like that, Nadal breaks back. 4-4 in the third. The world might be ending, but at least this is mesmerizing tennis.
6:08 — Just a masterful point from Nadal. He uses an off-speed backhand to throw Federer off balance, then works him around the court a little before mercy-killing the point. 5-4.
6:10 — Sneer says: "If I were War Horse, I would still be awesome at tennis."
6:12 — Federer serves-and-volleys to hold for 5-5. No one can get the upper hand. Somewhere in the distant reaches of space, a star, responding to the tension in this set, unexpectedly goes supernova.
6:17 — And Rafa fights back from 15-30 to hold for a 6-5 lead. Roger will now effectively serve for his life. Stars exploding all over the sky. My heart rate approximately 27 million beats per minute.
6:18 — Federer opens with an ace, then swats a makeable forehand into the net. At 30-30, Federer chunks a makeable backhand into the net. Set point for Nadal. Federer holds it off with a punishing forehand passing shot.
6:23 — The crowd applauds a ballboy for doing something cute. DO THEY NOT KNOW THEY ARE ALL DOOMED.
6:24 — And Federer somehow pulls out game with an ace to send the third set to a tiebreak. Mark my words, if he wins this breaker there will be rioting in Switzerland. (I.e., showing up a couple of minutes late for work, publicly yawning at the opera.)
6:26 — Federer loses his 656th terrible challenge of the match and drops to 1-3. I know I've said this before, but Roger's incompetence with the challenge system is breathtaking. He might have a future as an NFL coach.
6:28 — With Nadal leading 5-1 in the tiebreak, Federer dumps a forehand into the net. Five set points for Nadal.
6:30 — Set point no. 1: Federer uses two sharp backhands to push Nadal into an uncharacteristic forehand error. 6-2.
6:31 — Set point no. 2: Federer rips a forehand so deep that Nadal can only send up a flailing backhand, which Federer slams home. 6-3.
6:32 — Set point no. 3: Federer ace. Wow. Wow. 6-4.
6:33 — Set point no. 4: But Nadal comes back with a topspin-heavy forehand, which Federer blocks clumsily into the net.
6:33 — Nadal takes the third. If just a couple of points had broken differently there, Federer might be winning right now but isn't that always how it goes in this rivalry? It's tough to see Federer coming back from this now.
Fourth Set: The Darkness Drops Again
6:36 — Maybe another way to think about the Federer-as-soft problem is that, temperamentally, Federer is an artist, not a fighter, and for an artist to win against fighters, he has to be on a higher plane all the time — essentially has to be so good he can turn every contest into an exhibition. This may be the thing I love most about Federer, that he's dominated tennis with a game that feels almost completely detached from the idea of sport as combat. But against Nadal, who's at least almost as talented as Federer and who plays tennis like someone who'd rather be fighting in the mud with swords, he can't help but get sucked into a battle, which, sadly, is not where he's meant to be, even if he still wins some of them.
6:40 — Another way of putting that is that as frustrating as the Strange Federer Softness can be, it's probably inextricably connected to the quality that made him such a wonderful player in the first place.
6:48 — Stats With Too Few Data Points To Mean Much Korner: Nadal is 8-1 lifetime when holding a two-sets-to-one lead over Roger Federer.
6:48 — Stats With Absolutely No Shortage Of Data Points Korner: Nadal digs around in his pants for the 945th time tonight. Who's worse at what: Federer at using challenges, or Nadal at picking comfortable underwear?
6:49 — Serving at 2-2 in the fourth, Federer pours yet another forehand into the net. For his backhand being his supposed vulnerability, he's dying a lonely Arctic death on his forehand right now. He's hit something like 30 forehand errors.
6:50 — Federer saves a couple of break points to go up 3-2 in the fourth. He reacts by not changing his facial expression at all and moving a stray lock of hair off his forehead.
6:58 — Patrick McEnroe is killing Federer for hitting too many shots to the Nadal forehand and not picking on the backhand enough. That's basically the artistic temperament, though — it's not about tactically exploiting your opponent's weaknesses, it's about playing even more amazing tennis yourself. Again, this is only a winning formula when there's an entire extra unoccupied plane of ability separating you from your opponent. Which is the case for Federer against almost everyone, but (obviously) not against Nadal.
7:00 — Still on serve with Federer leading 4-3 in the fourth. 3:15 into the match. It's starting to get light in my living room.
7:05 — Federer slices an absolutely mind-bending crosscourt forehand at net — he hit it at about a 2 degree angle — for a 30-15 lead on Nadal's serve. Then he gives it back with a simple backhand error. Nadal directs a mini-fist pump at the ball as it flutters out of bounds.
7:09 — Suddenly, Federer has earned himself a break point at 4-3 and is one point away from serving for the set. But Nadal digs out of it, holds, and watches another invisible ghost crumple to the ground in a pool of its own blood. 4-4.
7:13 — Nadal's forehand would look amazing from the back of a chariot.
7:14 — Now Nadal earns a break point and a chance to serve for the set. Federer digs out of it with a pair of forehands that look like they came out of Leonardo da Vinci's sketchbook. At deuce, Nadal just murders a crosscourt forehand winner, across his body, and while moving in the opposite direction, and I'm pretty sure the entire crowd and television audience blacked out and somehow when we came to Nadal was serving for the match at 5-4.
7:18 — And here's the game everything turns on. First point: Federer spills another forehand. 15-0 Nadal.
7:19 — After Nadal gets out of trouble with a behind-the-back backhand, Federer hits a perfect crosscourt dropshot. 15-15.
7:19 — Whatever happens, it is an absolute pleasure to watch these guys play tennis.
7:20 — Somewhere in the depths of the solar system a terrible pale comet hurtles toward us.
7:21 — Two points from the final, Nadal sprays a forehand wide. 30-30.
7:22 — Nadal pounds a serve deep. Federer's return goes wide. 40-30. Match point.
7:22 — Federer strings together a series of hard shots to Nadal's backhand to force him into an error. Deuce.
7:24 — Nadal contorts his face into a mask of savage fury but badly overhits a forehand. Advantage: somehow, Federer.
7:24 — Debris from the shattered moon drops into the atmosphere and plunges toward our cities.
7:24 — But Federer's way-too-cute overhead floater sails wide. Deuce.
7:25 — Federer hits a crisp backhand return that Nadal plants in the net. Advantage: somehow, again, Federer.
7:26 — Federer compresses the last point by planting his own backhand return in the net. Deuce.
7:26 — Nadal puts Federer on the wrong foot by serving to his forehand, and Federer sends the next backhand wide. Advantage: Nadal. Match point no. 2.
7:27 — A net of green fire sprawls across the sky.
7:27 — And after a rally, Federer loses control of yet another forehand. Nadal wins, drops to his knees, shakes his fists, scrambles to his feet, kicks the corpse of a headless ghost, and looks around for the trophy platform before remembering that this was only a semifinal.
As it has been, so it shall be: Nadal — as always! — wins a close, tense, hard-fought, and frequently thrilling match against a Federer who never quite knew what to do once the fist pumping and bellowing started. Again, pretty much, as always. The win brings Nadal's lifetime record against Federer to 18-9, including 5-1 on outdoor hard courts, and in the process deals a meaningful blow to the (already shaky) idea that his success against Federer is dependent on a disproportionate number of their matches being played on clay. Federer waves to the crowd and heads for the tunnel wearing the look of utter sadness that is his default no. 3 expression these days.2 Nadal jokes around with Jim Courier, gives a scouting report for Murray-Djokovic, and withdraws, presumably for a celebratory screening of War Horse.
Somehow, the earth survives. For now. I'm turning off the lights to find out whether this meteor shower will let me get back to sleep.

Hi, (not you?) | Member Center | Sign Out
Posted: 1:00 a.m. Friday, May 19, 2006
By Neal Boortz
Today's Nuze: May 19, 2006 | ||
Friday -- May 19, 2006 BROADCASTING TODAY FROM NORFOLK, VIRGINIA After a successful visit to Dayton, Ohio, the Boortz Show moves to Norfolk, Virginia this morning for the WNIS Talkfest 2006! We'll be broadcasting live from the Ted Constant Convocation Center at Old Dominion University. Admission is free ... so if you're in the area it's a good time to come watch sausage being made! Now that was a fun time. Jamie Dupree emceed the show last night with Sean Hannity, Clark Howard and myself before a great crowd at the University of Dayton Arena! The two high moments of the show were when Sean delivered a soliloquy about President Bush and the war on terror, and when Clark Howard talked to the crowd about economics and gas prices. In fact .. Clark was on his game last night. He's an amazing guy. I know I speak for the others when I say thanks to those who braved some interesting weather to come out and to 1290 WHIO for putting on such a fine event. I'm sure we'll be back in Dayton to for a repeat performance sometime in the not-too-distant future. AND JUST WHAT DID THE CROWD RESPOND TO? THE RUNAWAY BRIDE IS ON THE MARKET AGAIN! Did I call this one? Well ... I'm such a renowned expert in interpersonal relations it was really a no-brainer. John Mason has now announced that he and Jennifer Wilbanks will not be getting married. The engagement is off. Now the groom has hit the road. Reading between the lines, his family couldn't be more thrilled. So ... is this the end of the story? I hope not. I really want to see who the next sucker is going to be and just what is going to happen as that magic day approaches. Maybe the next time she'll fake an alien abduction. YOU CAN STOP MINDLESSLY BLAMING THE OIL COMPANIES NOW. Yesterday the House of Representatives had an opportunity to take a huge step toward American energy independence. They faltered. Our great representatives rejected an amendment to an Interior Department bill that would have ended the absurd ban we have on drilling for natural gas and oil off about 85% of the costal waters of the United States. This, of course, includes California and Florida. The vote wasn't even close. They couldn't even agree to allow drilling just for natural gas! In case you went to government schools, please allow me to explain that there is no such thing as a natural gas spill. There is no way that natural gas could wash up on the shores of the Florida Gulf Coast or California and ruin any tourist's day in the sun. So .. the more mindless among you can continue with your mass hysteria against the oil companies. Those of you actually capable of rational thought can start to wonder just why it is these people in Washington seem so hell-bent on maintaining America's dependence on foreign energy sources. TOMORROW'S RUNOFF IN NEW ORLEANS Tomorrow we're going to find out just how hopeless New Orleans is. New Orleans voters --- including many who have no intention of ever moving back to make New Orleans their home again -- will vote in the Democratic runoff between present New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin and Lt. Gov. Mitch Landrieu. If these voters actually give Ray Nagin another shot at leading New Orleans then we will know that the problems that led to the Katrina disaster went much deeper than irresponsible and incompetent leadership from the mayor and governor. Mr. "Chocolate City" was a disgrace. Instead of running for reelection he should be planning a defense for a trial of charges of criminal incompetence and cowardice. We'll know a lot more about the people of New Orleans by Monday. [OK ... that about does it for the notes Neal sent us from Norfolk this morning ... we now turn over the Nuze to the rest of the Boortz staff .... so don't blame anything else you read here on The Man!] SHOW
AT THE BORDER REDNECK SCRAP BOOK I kind of doubt postal regulations allow for this sort of thing. More in the Redneck Scrap Book.
President Bush once enjoyed approval ratings after 9/11 of 82% in New York. Not anymore...apparently they've fallen to 22%. How low can they go? I'm sure the media will let us know. The United Nations does not even recognize the concept of an "illegal immigrant." They want all immigrants to have the same rights, regardless of legal status. Yet another reason to dump our membership in this worthless organization. While the Bush Administration is apparently thinking about negotiating directly with North Korea, the North Koreans are planning to test launch a missile. This should get very interesting. Charles Krauthammer says George W. Bush probably has good intentions in wanting to step up border security, but that's not enough. He says other past "reforms" have done nothing but increase the number of illegals. For the past several years, it has seemed like the Republican party was on the way up. But Pat Buchanan asks the question: is the GOP ascendancy over? Mark Davis says what nearly everyone is thinking: Bush's immigration plan is too soft on illegal aliens. His proposal is not enough and is basically an amnesty program. Is it possible to balance a budget, wiping out a deficit in the process, and do it all without raising taxes? Sure it is...and Fred Barnes tells us just how Missouri Governor Roy Blunt accomplished that very thing. We have reached the tipping point in this country over illegal immigration. And as David Limbaugh reports, the people upset about the illegal alien invasion are neither racist nor bigoted. What is the cost of illegal immigration? The statistics speak for themselves. According to Mona Charen's latest column, in the last 30 years, we've gone from 6% of all births being to illegal aliens to 23%. For all of you who are already going to hell for reading The Da Vinci Code, here's what the movie classic The !0 Commandments might have been like if it'd been a teen movie. (video, language) | ||

Lakeland Bancorp Announces Capital Raise of $25 Million
OAK RIDGE, N.J., Aug. 29, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lakeland Bancorp, Inc. (LBAI), the holding company for Lakeland Bank, today announced that it has entered into an underwriting agreement with Keefe Bruyette & Woods, Inc., acting as sole underwriter, providing for the public offering of 621,762 shares of the Company's Common Stock at a public offering price of $9.65 per share. The Company has granted the underwriter an option, exercisable for a period of 30 days, to acquire up to an additional 62,176 shares at the same price to cover over-allotments.
As previously announced, on August 28, 2012, Lakeland Bancorp entered into a separate securities purchase agreement with certain institutional investors advised by the same investment advisor. Pursuant to the securities purchase agreement, the Company agreed to sell an aggregate of 1,983,315 shares of its Common Stock, in a registered direct offering, also at a price of $9.65 per share.
Net proceeds to the Company in the two offerings, after underwriting discounts in the public offering and expenses payable by the Company with respect to both offerings, are estimated to be approximately $24.6 million.

The underwriting agreement and the securities purchase agreement are subject to customary closing conditions. Closing of the transactions is expected to occur on September 4, 2012.

Mark Fogel plugs Leviton's new Melville office
Tags: Leviton Manufacturing
In addition to making a wide array of electrical devices, Leviton Manufacturing Co. recently made something else: news. The 103-year-old firm moved its 450-person headquarters from Little Neck, Queens, to a 140,000-square-foot Melville building, bringing its global operation to the Route 110 corridor. We talked with Mark Fogel, the firm's vice president of human resources and administration, about reasons for the move and work and life on Long Island.
Is the move done and how'd it go?
The move's complete. We moved over a two-week period between the end of May and the middle of June. We phased the move so we wouldn't disrupt our day-to-day business. And it went very smoothly.
Why'd you move to Melville?
It's a good demographic and business environment for us. Great community. Easy accessibility right off the Long Island Expressway. We have a significant executive staff, a lot of engineers, a lot of management, a call center. In terms of the type of employees we needed, we felt that being in the corridor was a perfect location for us in terms of current and future employment capabilities. A good portion of our employees live in Nassau and Suffolk County.
What did you learn in terms of relocation?
I think anybody moving in today's business environment needs to talk to people in the local community. We had many conversations with the Long Island Association and Huntington Township. They were helpful to us. We reached out to politicians. Steve Levy's office made themselves available to us.
Did you use a lot of Leviton products in your new headquarters?
We used so many of our products, our outlets, our lighting controls, our occupancy sensors, our energy management system. We even used something called a TVSS, which helps us with surge protection. We used fiber infrastructure for our computers and data center. We make it. We look at our building as a working showcase for our company. Everywhere you walk in the building we have different products with different usages.
Are you developing green products?
You just said the magic word. We have our bread and butter business of electrical applications and lighting controls. However energy management and green technology are very big parts of our current and future plans.
Can you give me an example of some green products?
Our entire building is fitted with occupancy sensors, which we make. So when you leave a work area, within a short period of time the electricity goes off. We're saving energy, being smart, saving money and being good to the environment.
What are you doing differently to grow your business or be more customer friendly?
We've gotten into pre-assembled devices for easy assembly at the job site. We purchased a company this spring called EZE Rough. They take our products going into a job site and break down the packaging so when the product gets to the job site, it can be installed extremely quickly without reading diagrams. We make it simple for the contractor.
Where are you seeing demand growth around the world?
We see a large demand in North America. However, we're seeing very nice growth right now in Asia and Central America. And we're entering into new markets all the time. We entered into the United Arab Emirates. We went into Dubai this past year.
Are you hiring on Long Island or are you set with your existing staff?
We're not in a hiring boom, certainly. But there are select positions that we're hiring for currently. We're moving along in a difficult economy. We pride ourselves on employee longevity. We hand out 25-year watches.
What's a positive thing about being private, which Leviton is, versus a public company?
We don't have to answer to Wall Street every day of the week. We can take a longer-term perspective of running and driving our business. We had three presidents in 103 years. Think about that statement. There's longevity in our leadership. We've moved a little east over the years. I think a tenet of this company is we put a lot of focus on our people. And we understand if we treat our people right and do the right thing, they're going to do the right thing for our customers.
Do you think Long Islanders know Leviton?
It seems that now that we're moving to Long Island, people are starting to first get an idea about this company. But we're a household name. Look at your light switches, your electrical outlets. I bet a lot of them if not all of them are Leviton and you don't even know it.

Welcome to Long Island.
I remember always passing your bulding in Queens, and as a homeowner and very handy person I have been reaching for many of your quality products for over 40 years.
August 17, 2009 2:05 pm
Thanks for your support, hope your still reaching for our product. Moving our people a few miles east will allow us to keep producing quality products well in to the future, although we miss our old neighbors, our new ones have been hospitable and we are settling in.
I wish to congratulate Leviton on the move. With so many companies moving off Long Island, It is refreshing to see a local and historic firm expand right here. All the best.

LandCo's Ray Marshall accused of misusing money
COLORADO SPRINGS,COLO. -- Could the deal to upgrade and expand the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs be in jeopardy?
Concerns first arose following allegations that LandCo, the company overseeing the construction, didn't have the money to move forward.
While LandCo officials deny those allegations, FOX21 News has learned of extensive legal trouble facing the company and its principal shareholder, Raymond Marshall.
According to the Colorado Springs Business Journal (CSBJ), that broke the story, Marshall is facing several civil suits and criminal allegations.
These cases have a price tag in the millions, and while it's speculative right now, could potentially prevent LandCo from living up to its end of the bargain.
Court records first obtained by CSBJ paint the picture of a company in trouble, trouble that started well before LandCo struck a partnership with the city and the United States Olympic Committee (USOC).
"And they have continued since and, of course, worsened," said CSBJ's John Hazlehurst.
Investors with several limited liability corporations created for specific purposes by LandCo are accusing Marshall of misusing money. Those investors include Ward Berlin and Jack Mason, who have asked the court to appoint a receiver.
Both Mason and Berlin had more than $1 million invested in entities under LandCo's umbrella.
Affidavits indicate both men are accusing Marshall of transferring funds from entities in which they had interest to entities in which they did not.
"One filing alleges that Marshall diverted funds from many ventures in order to fund the USOC venture and that those diversions were made without the knowledge or consent of partners," Hazlehurst said.
Then in October 2008 the Internal Revenue Service placed a federal tax lien for $1.6 million on Marshall's home.
FOX21 News tried to reach Marshall Tuesday afternoon regarding how these suits could affect his ability to complete the USOC project, but staff was unable to.
FOX21 News also left several messages with members of city council regarding the project. Staff reporter Danielle Leigh couldn't reach them, but Hazlehurst did.
"They had fragmented knowledge of these matters. I don't think they had any notion of the scope or size," said Hazlehurst.
As for the USOC project, city officials say they are waiting to sell bonds for the $27 million they have promised because of current poor market conditions.
An anonymous source with CSBJ says the city is actually waiting because LandCo has been unable to come up with the $16 million it has promised, and so the USOC won't sign a lease on the building downtown set to be the new headquarters.

The room are spacious and well appointed.
The food service, breakfast 7 days a week and dinner Mon-Fri, continues to go downhill. Selection has become very poor.
They are upgrading their rooms and look much better
Lots of construction nearby, some road noise late at night
The hotel and rooms were very clean. Staff always appeared to be friendly, especially the maids. Free breakfast and dinner.
Road noise. This hotel is very close to 6 lanes of traffic and the hotel itself is main entirely of wood, with bad windows. In fairness, one couldn't tell the difference between the window being open and closed, it was that noisy. The room itself was a little dated, but they looked to be renovating some others while I was there. No complimentary water, which is usually a basic in hotels these days. The road noise means a good night sleep will be almost impossible.
Spacious room with kitchenette Jacuzzi Close to Santana Row and Valley Fair Mall Very friendly staff Easy parking Very good value for money compared to alternatives
Safe parking
We were a group of 4 friends, we booked a room via booking.com as for 4 person, but unfortunately we got a room with 1 double bed (the rules at the room says, this room is max for 3 persons) No dinner at weekends Rude and unfriendly staff Poor facilities

There were some ragety people loitering around the halls

Very simple, old hotel. It needs renovation. Very basic breakfast which serves with a carton plates!!!
Nice staff; covenient location to visit my family
nice breakfast
there was nothing i didnt like
I stayed here for three nights with my husband and two little girls. I had an AWESOME stay! It's hard to find a budget-friendly hotel that is also comfortable enough to have two toddlers in. The staff was really friendly and the beds were so comfortable! We also had a huge jacuzzi tub that we really liked! I will definitely stay here again.
the breakfast the only one which has one
Nice big rooms. Free breakfast. Covered parking .
Noise from street traffic . Not bad
Close to Winchester Mystery House. Big room. Asked for more towels and they dropped off immediately. Surprisingly even though our room was by the road side, the entire hotel was pretty quiet. It had hardwood floors, nice tv, great water pressure in the shower, and a microwave, stovetop and refrigerator in the room.
Down the street was pretty sketchy - lots of homeless people and dirty, but the other side had a really nice mall and amenities walking distance. A person put their greasy face print on our driver side door in the parking garage, - which I can only assume that they were looking to break in, which kinda creeped us out, but that could happen anywhere.
The hotel was cozy. The food was very good.
The house keeping staff wasn't very friendly.
They serve good hot custom breakfast & dinner free in house. Goog indoor parking & location.
Needs room & general redo ..very dated furnishings.
Inclusive meals with price although not gourmet or outstanding food
No pool
Very comfortable, conveniently located to shopping and freeways,also to some great restaurants.
jacuzzi tub
Breakfast, big rooms, cover garage, close in to the city.
Blvd noise...
Everything was great but one small issue.....
They couldn't get the WiFi two work in the area of my room:(Besides that , Everthing else was great!
there was nothing what I can say liked so much. but I can not to say that it is defenatly bad hotel. This just was motel. Can not expect more...
High price, bad location. to far from downtown. Cold room, very bad internet connection. Very poor breakfast and dinner. Non-professional staff.
It was nice and included made to cook breakfast!!
The bathroom needed some work and didn't have a top on the toilet bowl tank. Other wise we enjoyed our stay.

I <3 Badgirl. Love that scene in No More Heroes.
And I love Suda. Shadows of the Damned is awesome, so are both No more Heroes. I've never gotten to play Killer 7 or Flower Sun and Rain but i'm looking forward to Lollipop Chainsaw.
And for my favourite cutscenes. o-o Oh gosh.
From RE1:
Also, I love the intro to the original RE simply because it's hilarious.xD
This scene is from Infamous 2. It's just a nice scene.
Nemesis enters in RE3
Intro to Code Veronica
Wesker vs Alexia in Code Veronica
And, I have a lot more. xD But these ring out well in my head.
And oh god, now I want to play the whole RE franchise again. =P
The scene in Arkham City (Spoilers ahoy!) where you neutralize the Riddler. It was so satisfying.
Thank You Mario!
But Our Princess Is In Another Castle!
I'm a hardcore FF geek and an absolute lover of Loveless. Genesis and Sephiroth are probably one of my favorite characters of the entire series so this cut scene from Crisis Core amazing! I watch it on my PSP all the time! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6ZaSipHuO4

The Tea Party's Drive to Beat Romney Could Mean an Obama 2012 Win
Tweet Share on Facebook September 30, 2011 Comment (18)If the Party of Tea, formerly known as the GOP, is so confident of beating Barack Obama why can't it find a decent candidate to stop Mitt Romney and beat the president?
Big Businesses, Not the Poor, are Federal Freeloaders
Tweet Share on Facebook September 23, 2011 Comment (4)Now that we're fighting a class war, I decided to send readers of the Thomas Jefferson Street Blog an occasional dispatch from the front line.
Tea Party and Democrats Both Ignore the Poor
Tweet Share on Facebook September 16, 2011 Comment (19)The Tea Party presidential debate this week included one of the darkest moments in modern Americans politics. When Wolf Blitzer of CNN asked Rep. Ron Paul, a doctor, if he would let a 30-year-old man without private health insurance die, a man in the audience yelled "yeah" and the crowd in the hall cheered.
Obama's Speech and Jobs Plan Don't Go Far Enough
Tweet Share on Facebook September 9, 2011 Comment (11)If the president was running for re-election in isolation, he would be in big trouble. But fortunately he's not running against nobody. He's running against the gang that couldn't talk straight.
For Michele Bachmann, Ignorance is Bliss
Tweet Share on Facebook September 1, 2011 Comment (59)What a wonderful world! My daughter brought me a satellite radio for my birthday and I have been listening to the classic hits of the'50s. I call the station "50s on the Five for 50-Somethings." Unfortunately every time I hear the classic 1950s song "What a Wonderful World" by the great Sam Cooke, I think of Michele Bachmann. Why? Because of the opening words, "Don't' know much about history. Don't know much biology."

Here at D.C. Wire we endeavor to clear up the record when clarity is called for. Such is the call for State Superintendent of Education Deborah A. Gist, whom we unfairly kicked in the shin for evading our requests for an interview in September.
The backstory: Her agency is developing a new advanced teaching credential that would require D.C. public school instructors to demonstrate their effectiveness in order to keep their jobs. The measure is a part of Chancellor Michelle A. Rhee's so-called "Plan B" to bypass the Washington Teachers' Union and weed out underperforming teachers.
Asked to comment for a Post story on "Plan B," Gist said she would have to "check with Carrie," meaning Mayor Adrian M. Fenty's chief of staff, Carrie Brooks. Under the terms of the 2007 mayoral takeover of the school system, Gist reports to Fenty through deputy mayor for education Victor Reinoso.
Gist was not heard from again, so we assumed that Brooks had nixed the request. But Brooks denied any role in muzzling Gist, so we then concluded that Gist must have wimped out on her own.
Silly us. It turns out that Gist was willing to talk but was shut down by Fenty and Rhee, who apparently believe in responsive, transparent government except when it doesn't dovetail with their stategic communications plans.
According to e-mails obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, Gist contacted Reinoso and Rhee on the evening of Sept. 3 asking whether she should talk to Post reporter Bill Turque.
Rhee said she wanted to roll out Plan B all at once at a time of her choosing. Talking about teacher certification will "make things very messy, in my opinion," said Rhee.
Gist pushed back: "I think it would be a mistake not to use this opportunity to make sure he [Turque] understands the teacher certification regulations....Given that he is writing for tomorrow, are you directing me to not talk with him for the story and having him write without the benefit of our direct input?"
Fenty settled the issue early the next morning: "Yes. Don't speak with him (and please don't tell him something like. 'the mayor has told me not to speak with you'). Just don't pick up the phone. Mafara [Hobson, Fenty's press secretary] will handle all communications on this story."

Foot-stomping, breath-catching excitement awaits those who attend either of two days of California Cowboys Professional Rodeo Association action at the Frontier Days Rodeo Grounds on East Commercial Street.
The first rodeo takes place at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, July 3; the second at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, July 4.
Both rodeo performances feature California-ranked cowboys and cowgirls who compete in eight rodeo events: bareback and saddleback riding, team roping, calf roping, steer wrestling, breakaway roping, barrel racing and bull riding.
West Coast Rodeos, owned by the Lou Bugenig and Mike Mora families of Humboldt County, are some of California's premier rodeo stock contractors. Their stock provides rough challenges for the state's top-ranked riders.
A trophy buckle engraved by Matt of Outlaw Saddlery is awarded to the CCPRA All-Around champion. Willits Frontier Days also awards $600 per event as a jackpot prize and $1,100 to winners in the rough stock events.
In addition to the rodeo events, local cowboys and cowgirls from Lake, Mendocino and Humboldt counties compete in local team roping. Trophy buckles are awarded to the Local Team Roping Header and the Local Team Roping Heeler, also engraved by Matt.
Rodeo admission is $12, adults; $5, children; $15 for box seats.
Tuesday's rodeo will be followed by a free Western dance, showcasing the talents of Whiskey Dawn, at 9 p.m.

Shows How Few People Use Internet Explorer Now
Or how uninteresting they must be. :-) I've had one of my first peer reviewed papers up for several years here. Dave Kopel kindly linked to it today, and when I went to look at it with Internet Explorer, it suddenly turned to Greek (or something that you could mistake for Greek) part way through. I've since fixed it (an unclosed font face tag), but this was not a problem for Firefox or most other browsers, apparently.

I knew my classical education and learned ability to read Attic and Homeric Greek would come in handy someday! (That skill and $1.50 will get me a cup of coffee).

Houzz is the new way to design your home.
This house had been deteriorating and in use as a rental until 2005 when a series of renovations were begun to erase years of neglect. An awkward daylight basement was gutted down to bare earth to create a guest suite, extra kitchen, storage, laundry, and media room. The walls of the main floor were re-plastered to eliminate a heavy stucco texture. The kitchen and powder room were gutted. And a breakfast room was re-imagined as a small TV room and lounge off the kitchen. One of the four bedrooms on the top floor was converted to a home office while the smallest of the bedrooms was converted to a walk-in-closet.

The countertops are Carrara marble. They are very easy to maintain but they do stain and show citrus marks. These fade and are not an issue for the owner. If you want your countertops to look the same after 5 years as on day one they probably aren't the material for you.

The Lettered Cottage added this to 8 Inspiring Ingredients to Create a Come-Hither Kitchen
Industrial touches sprinkled throughout a calm color palette give this kitchen a crisp feel. This combination would definitely inspire me to cook more often!
Becky Harris added this to Architectural Photography: Composition is Key
OK, Fluffy is the ultimate in styling! Another pet peeve I have about kitchens is when everything is clean except for some lame dishtowel that doesn't match at all hanging from a stove, refrigerator door or faucet. The folded towel here is white and neat and keeps the kitchen from looking too staged. As for the composition, I love the way the ceiling lights are centered and lead the eye down the kitchen. The perspective is enhanced by those light fixtures.
Becky Harris added this to Just for Fun: Styling Photos with Pets
This dog adds texture to the sleek kitchen (O.K., Seriously, I hope you guys know I am totally making fun of myself here and that this ideabook is a parody!).
Margaret Everton added this to 5 Hints For Rocking A Galley Kitchen
Pristine and clean, grounded by darker floors. Notice how modern yet subtle the countertops look, and notice the use of vertical space above.
Lily Gahagan added this to Houzz Pets: 50 Design-Loving Dogs
Someone's on high alert in this kitchen.
Alison Hodgson added this to So You're Thinking About Getting a Dog
1. Do you have room in your budget? "There's no such thing as a free lunch." That economist's adage extends to canines: There's no such thing as a free dog. Trust me. This may sound cold, but it's quite caring to first assess whether you have the expendable income that dog ownership requires. The cost of food, routine vet bills and basic gear adds up quickly, and that doesn't even take into account medical emergencies, fences, training, possible boarding and dental care. Dental care? Yes, and it's quite expensive, since sedation is involved. I don't even want to tell you about anal glands, but you should know they exist and, depending on the dog, require regular attention.
Laura Gaskill added this to The Case for Waiting to Remodel
Waiting to remodel can give you better ideas. It may not occur to you at first that removing a small closet or repositioning a door could make a huge difference in the working space of your kitchen ... until you've lived there for a while, that is. Pay special attention to the traffic patterns (where you walk) in your home, as this can offer you a clue about which doors or walls to consider moving or removing.

Mitch Evans will start the fifth round of the GP3 Series from pole position after dominating qualifying at the Valencia street circuit in Spain.
Evans topped the times for the majority of the session, and led an MW Arden 1-2 ahead of David Fumanelli. The eventual margin between them was 0.033s, but it would have been much larger had Evans been able to complete his last lap unhindered by a yellow flag for Jenzer's Patric Niederhauser, who ground to a halt on the start/finish straight.
Points leader Aaro Vainio will start third for Lotus GP, his efforts including a bouncy ride over the curbs on the exit of the final turn.
Kevin Ceccon was fourth fastest for Ocean Racing Technology, ahead of Carlin's Antonio Felix da Costa, who was one of the last to improve his times.
Tio Ellinas will start sixth for Marussia Manor Racing, but his final run was spoiled when he encountered the ailing Niederhauser at the final corner. Conor Daly was seventh fastest for Lotus, but will start 17th due to his 10-place grid penalty.
Monaco Race 2 winner Marlon Stockinger was ninth quickest for Status GP, behind the third Arden car of Matias Laine. Daniel Abt rounded out the top 10 in the third Lotus machine.
Pos Driver Team Time Gap 1. Mitch Evans MW Arden 1m58.478s 2. David Fumanelli MW Arden 1m58.511s + 0.033s 3. Aaro Vainio Lotus 1m58.567s + 0.089s 4. Kevin Ceccon Ocean 1m58.772s + 0.294s 5.

We're only human. Most of the time, that is a good thing. But humans seem to accept more risk over time when nothing bad has happened. We lose our vigilance. We take more chances. A close call might only be remembered as an unusually rare anomaly instead of a call to action.
I was on a flight from PHL to PHX recently. The flight had taken off late for a number of reasons. The pilot tried to keep passengers informed about the estimated arrival time because many folks had tight connecting flights. I got the sense that the pilot was very intent to arrive as soon as possible. As we finally approached the landing strip, our wheels no sooner touched the ground when the engines revved up and we were heading back up into the sky. As the pilot later revealed, there was a large plane crossing our runway. Had we continued to land, there could have been a collision. Thank goodness the pilot's attention to detail and following the process were not overruled by complacency of having landed a plane many times before and the distraction to get passengers to their connecting flights.
We might draw a parallel to the process industry. There may be many safeguards in place to keep the work site safe, but there is often still a reliance on operator reaction to an alarm where distraction or complacency can lead to trouble. Keep the human intervention as simple and non-tedious as possible. It is not always possible to automate all parts of an operation. Sometimes we need a person to hit the emergency button to avoid catastrophe.
We're creatures of habit; we take risks and begin to think that risk goes down because we've done something over and over again without mishap. Don't get complacent when it comes to safety!
