In the near future, we might see a mandatory register in Denmark. But there are obstacles and pitfalls
The introduction of a lobbying transparency register in the Danish Parliament is an issue that has been raised on many occasions for years. In view of a growing lobbying sector, and an increase in the significance of corporate lobbying, several parties are outspoken on the need for transparency, but have so far been limited by an unfavourable balance of power in parliament. But with last year's parliamentary elections and a change of majority, there seems to be an opportunity to make real advances. This was clear in late May when the leadership of the parliament with representatives from the five biggest parties, decided to support a register. It starts as a voluntary scheme to test the pros and cons of different approaches, but is likely to become legally binding later.
More specifically, the leadership has asked the administration of parliament to provide parliamentarians with two options; either the MP can write a general description on which organisations and lobbyists they often consult on particular pieces of legislation, or he can join a more ambitious scheme whereby the MP is supposed to register all meetings with pressure groups, including lobbyists. All information is to be available to the public via the parliaments website.
The details only be decided over the summer, but one of the active supporters of a register, Benny Engelbrecht (MP, Socialdemocrat) told Corporate Europe Observatory that he expects it to be similar to a scheme he used during a test he and an MP from leftwing Red Green Alliance conducted recently, and which helped push the chairmanship. From early February till late April the two registered every meeting with lobbyists they had, and all participants at the meetings accepted transparency, except for two per cent. According to the two MPs the small group of people who asked not to be registered, were in the category of 'whistleblowers' and would have suffered an immediate personal loss had they been registered, Benny Engelbrecht asserts. This is an experience that has made the two consider if exceptions should be made in a future register.
Due to the voluntary nature of the upcoming scheme, there is a third option for MPs when parliament sets up its register: they can do nothing, stay out of the scheme and keep their meetings a secret. And Benny Engelbrecht expects quite a few from the right to do so. He points out that a full third of Danish MPs have chosen not to reveal side jobs or economic interests in an existing voluntary register, and takes this as clear proof of a lack of will if not resistance to transparency in some quarters of the Danish right
The test period is expected to be about a year, and at this time the leadership of parliament will evaluate the scheme and decide what steps to take. The chairmanship tends to work via consensus, and there is a risk that it will decide not to take further action. Should that happen, however, then parties thtat have a majority in the parliament have flagged support for making lobby transparency a legal obligation. The likely model will be one based on registration of meetings and participants at meetings, similar to the one currently used by the British Conservatives in the European Parliament[1].
While such a model would be a major step forward, it would also include loopholes and flaws. For instance it would not make it mandatory for lobbyists to put all cards on the table, including revealing the sums spent on lobbying. The local Danish lobbying industry is clearly working to keep these matters off the table. But since the majority in parliament seems to have a genuine interest in effective registration, there will be room for improvement when it's crunch time next year.

PGA: Mickelson opens season at Humana Challenge
LA QUINTA, Calif. (AP) — Phil Mickelson glanced at the flag about 25 yards away, and surveyed the tall tree blocking his path. He looked again, craning his head skyward, then flashed a boyish grin and reached for his lob wedge.
Following his worst shot of the day with his best, Lefty saved par on the par-3 12th with a full-swing flop shot that climbed nearly straight up and over the 25-foot tree and stopped 2 feet from the hole. It help him salvage an even-par 72 on Thursday in the Humana Challenge in his season debut.
"That was one of my better wedges," Mickelson said. "But, as I was telling my partner, 'You hit it there as much as I do, eventually you're going to learn how to hit those shots."'
He yelled "Fore left!" a second after impact on the 202-yard hole.
"It was just very bad timing," Mickelson said about the tee shot. "Quick from the top, lower body fast. Just a bad swing. I did the same thing on the next par 3 with the same club. Only it went the other way. I made par both times, though."
Recovering from flu-like symptoms, the 42-year-old Mickelson had three birdies, a bogey and a double bogey at La Quinta Country Club — one of three courses used in the pro-am event that he won in 2002 and 2004 — to drop nine strokes behind the first-round leaders.
"I felt a lot better," Mickelson said. "I took it easy on Monday and Tuesday. It was like Day 10, but I'm fine now. I'm 95 percent better."
Jason Kokrak, Roberto Castro and James Hahn topped the leaderboard at 9-under 63.
Kokrak had two eagles and five birdies at La Quinta.
"I just tried to put it in the right spots, put it in the fairways," Kokrak said. "Out there, that's key. They're tighter fairways and if you can be in the fairway, you'll have a good opportunity for birdie." Continued...
Castro had nine birdies at PGA West's Jack Nicklaus Private Course, and Hahn had nine birdies on PGA West's Arnold Palmer Private Course.
"It was a great day," Hahn said. "Chipped two in. Hadn't done that since I was nine."
Russell Henley, the Sony Open winner Sunday in Hawaii in his first start as a PGA Tour member, had a 64 on the Nicklaus course. He's 32 under in his first five rounds this year.
"It was a perfect day," Henley said. "The weather is perfect. The greens were true. So, it's just trying to stay patient and let the birdies come to me."
Mickelson made his first start since tying for second in early November in the HSBC Champions in China, the only event he played after the Ryder Cup.
"My timing and rhythm was off a little bit," Mickelson said. "My putter was atrocious and I've been putting great, too. So, that was disappointing."
Mickelson made his second brilliant recovery shot on the par-5 13th, slicing a fairway wood from the rough on the adjacent 14th hole high over trees and onto the green. However, his eagle try ran 12 feet past the cup and he three-putted for par.
"Gosh, I hit such a great 5-wood to 35 feet for eagle," Mickelson said. "To three-putt that is just, it was just a lot of rough stuff today."
He also scrambled to save par on the par-3 15th, this time shouting "Fore right!" after another poorly timed swing. Turning to the flop shot again, he lobbed the ball over the corner of a bunker to 4 feet.
"When I'm not playing for a while, I really get excited to get back out and I was really amped up," Mickelson said. "I was nervous today and excited to play and maybe a little over-amped because again everything was quick — my rhythm, timing, everything." Continued...
Mickelson bogeyed the par-3 third, three-putting from the back fringe, and birdied the par-5 fifth after driving left into a fairway bunker and being forced to lay up. He made a double bogey on the par-4 10th after an aggressive drive over the trees went out of bounds.
"That hole has my number," Mickelson said. "This time, it hit a tree, hit the cart path, went out of bounds by a foot. So, that hole is just my nemesis."
He got one of the strokes back with a two-putt birdie on the par-5 11th, and got back to even par with a birdie on the par-4 18th, hitting an 8-iron from 168 yards to 3 feet.
"I hit a lot of fairways and was able to shake out an even-par round," Mickelson said. "As bad as that is, I've got a low round in me tomorrow, I think. It doesn't feel like it's far off."
Aaron Baddeley, Greg Chalmers and Doug LaBelle II matched Henley at 64. Baddeley played the Palmer course, and Chalmers and LaBelle opened on the Nicklaus course.
Mike Weir, the 2003 champion, opened with a 67 at La Quinta. The Canadian left-hander has missed 16 consecutive cuts and has finished only one tournament — a tie for 70th in the AT&T National in July 2011 — in his last 28 events.
"I drove it well and putted well and everything was pretty good," Weir said. "It was a nice solid round to get off to a good start."
FedEx Cup champion Brandt Snedeker also had a 67 at La Quinta. He's the highest-ranked player in the field at No. 8 in the world.
DIVOTS: Mickelson is opening a stretch of five or six straight events, a run that will end at Riviera or the Match Play Championship. ... The tournament is the first of seven events this year with an expanded field because of the short season. There are 156 players this year instead of 144. ... Defending champion Mark Wilson shot a 77 at La Quinta. ... Robert Karlsson, the Swede who entered last year at No. 24 in the world and had to go through two stages of qualifying school to retain his tour card, had a 71 on the Nicklaus course.

- Runaway Mom Breaks Her Silence in an Interview with Dr. Phil
Runaway mom Brenda Heist is sitting down with Dr. Phil and breaking her silence in her first interview since abandoning her family 11 years ago. Heist vanished without a trace on February 8, 2002, after dropping off her two children, Lee, 12, and Morgan, 8, at school in Lilitz, Pennsylvania, leaving her husband, family, and suburban lifestyle behind. Police investigated her disappearance for more than a decade, until she surfaced in Key West, Florida, late last month. Heist told officials she had hitchhiked with other people, lived in a camper, in tents, and under bridges, and scrounged up whatever food she could gather from restaurants. Other reports are telling a different story, saying she found a boyfriend within a year of arriving in Florida and seemed to live a pretty comfortable life, including vacationing, eating out, and going to the beach. Dr. Phil interviewed the former missing housewife for nearly five hours in the Santa Rosa County Jail, where she is currently being held on outstanding warrants. Heist revealed she never could have imagined she'd be homeless, saying, "I've never even been around homeless people. Maybe see them on the street sometimes, but I've never been around homeless people at all. Never knew anything about it. That's why I had my own problems believing what I was doing. I just kept saying to myself, they're better off without me." To see the television psychologist's riveting interview with the runaway mom, tune in to "Dr. Phil" on Monday, May 20, where she will also be reunited with her mother for the first time since her disappearance, and be sure to tune in to "omg!

Feenstra encourages readers to focus on God in daily struggles of life
Maitland, Fla. (PRWEB) January 26, 2013
In his new book, Unseen Footprints, ($16.99, paperback, 978-1-62419-926-4; $8.49, e-book, 978-1-62419-927-1) Peter G. Feenstra encourages readers to follow God's unseen footprints. This book contains 260 meditations that are particularly geared to help the reader focus on God's unseen footprints in the daily struggles of life. As the author states, "To pay attention to unseen footprints seems somewhat odd, but highlights the character of faith and trust. We do not always see where the Lord is leading our lives but the message of the Bible is clear: God will fulfill His plan and purpose. He will take us through situations that appear impossible."
A book of Bible meditations may not be particularly newsworthy, but the author believes "there would be less negative stories in the secular and Christian news if people would take the time to pay attention to God's unseen footprints."
Rev. Peter G. Feenstra is a minister of the Grand Valley Canadian Reformed Church in Ontario, Canada. He has served this church since 2007. He also served as minister of the Owen Sound Canadian Reformed Church (October1992-August 2007) and the Emmanuel Canadian Reformed Church at Guelph (October 1986-October1992). He previously wrote: "Submitting to One Another Out of Reverence for Christ", "Unspeakable Comfort", "The Glorious Work of Home Visits" and "You Only".
Xulon Press, a division of Salem Communications, is the world's largest Christian self-publisher, with more than 8,000 titles published to date. Retailers may order Unseen Footprints through Ingram Book Company and/or Spring Arbor Book Distributors. The book is available online through xulonpress.com/bookstore, amazon.com, and barnesandnoble.com.

STORRS, Conn. (AP) — Connecticut needed just one game to convince voters in The Associated Press poll that the Huskies are still a pretty good basketball team, despite losing a Hall of Fame coach and five underclassmen after last season.
UConn (1-0) moved into the Top 25 on Monday at No. 23, on the strength of its 66-62 win over Michigan State in Friday's Armed Services Classic played at the Ramstein Air Base in Germany.
The team hadn't been ranked since Jan. 23 and didn't receive a single vote in the preseason poll. Guard Shabazz Napier said it's a bit of validation for the Huskies, but not something they are excited about.
"We're just trying to be the best team we can be, whether someone else likes us or not," he said. "We know how good we can be, and we're just going to strive for that."
UConn was picked to finish ninth in the Big East after Jim Calhoun retired in September and was replaced by Kevin Ollie, a former Husky point guard who had no head coaching experience. The Huskies lost their two best players, Andre Drummond and Jeremy Lamb, to the NBA draft, and three other players transferred after the NCAA declared the Huskies academically ineligible for the 2013 postseason.
An NCAA ban does not disqualify a team from the AP poll.
"We've still got something to prove," said guard Ryan Boatright. "Twenty-three ain't nothing but a number next to your name, so we're going to be the same UConn team that won that first Michigan State game."
There wasn't a lot of movement in the poll after the opening weekend of the 2012-13 college basketball season.
Led by Indiana and Louisville, the first seven teams in the initial regular-season poll were the same as the preseason Top 25. The Hoosiers (1-0) were again a solid No. 1, receiving 46 first-place votes from the 65-member national media panel. Louisville (1-0) was No. 1 on 18 ballots.
Kentucky (1-0), which received one first-place vote, was third, followed by Ohio State, Michigan, North Carolina State and Kansas. Continued...
Syracuse and Duke swapped places at eighth and ninth and Florida again rounded out the top 10.
UConn was the only newcomer. Michigan State (0-1) dropped from 14th to 21st with the loss to the Huskies. Florida State (0-1), which lost 76-71 to South Alabama, dropped out from 25th.
Not every voter was convinced that UConn should be ranked. Dave Borges, who covers the Huskies for the New Haven Register, said he needs to see a greater body of work before putting Connecticut in his Top 25.
"I considered ranking them," Borges said. "But I didn't have a huge opinion of them before the season and it was tough for me to completely change that after one game."

Health Information
Genital Warts (Human Papillomavirus)
Topic Overview
Is this topic for you?
This topic provides information about the human papillomavirus (HPV), which causes genital warts and can also cause cervical cancer. If you are looking for information about cervical cell changes or cervical cancer, see:
What is human papillomavirus (HPV)?
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common Reference sexually transmitted infections (STIs) Opens New Window. It is a virus that can be spread through skin-to-skin genital contact. There are many different types of HPV. Some types cause genital warts and are called low-risk. And some types can lead to cervical, anal, or oral cancer and are called high-risk. There is no known cure for HPV, but there is a vaccine that can protect against some types of the virus.
What are genital warts?
Genital warts are skin growths in the groin, genital, or anal areas. They can be different sizes and shapes. Some look like flat white patches, and others are bumpy, like tiny bunches of cauliflower. Sometimes you can't see the warts at all.
What causes HPV and genital warts?
HPV is a virus. Certain types of the virus cause genital warts and some types cause abnormal cervical cell changes and cervical cancer.
HPV and genital warts can be spread through sex or skin-to-skin genital contact with someone who has the virus.
What are the symptoms?
Most people infected with HPV don't have symptoms. But if they do, the symptoms may be so mild that they may not know they are infected. The symptoms may include pain, itching, and bleeding, or you may develop visible genital warts.
If you have symptoms, they will probably occur 2 to 3 months after infection. But you can have symptoms from 3 weeks to many years after infection.
Visible genital warts appear only during active infection. But it is possible to spread the virus even if you can't see the warts.
How are HPV and genital warts diagnosed?
A doctor can often tell if you have genital warts by looking closely at your genital and anal areas. He or she may ask you questions about your symptoms and your risk factors. Risk factors are things that make you more likely to get an infection.
Sometimes the doctor takes a sample of tissue from the wart for testing.
For women, if you have an abnormal Pap test, your doctor can do an HPV test that looks for high-risk types of the virus.
How are they treated?
There is no cure for HPV, but the symptoms can be treated.
Talk to your doctor about whether you should treat visible genital warts. They usually go away with no treatment, but they may also spread. Most people decide to treat them because of the symptoms or because of how the warts look. But if you don't have symptoms and are not worried about how the warts look, you can wait and see if the warts go away.
If you do decide to treat genital warts, talk to your doctor about the best treatment for you. There are prescription medicines that you or your doctor can put on the warts. Or your doctor can remove them with lasers, surgery, or by freezing them off.
Even if you treat visible warts or your warts go away without treatment, the HPV infection can stay in your body's cells. It is possible to spread genital warts to your partner even if you have no signs of them.
Can HPV and genital warts be prevented?
The best way to keep from getting genital warts—or any other STI—is to not have sex or any skin-to-skin genital contact. If you do have sex, practice safer sex.
- Use condoms. Condoms may help reduce the risk of spreading genital warts, but they do not protect the entire genital area against skin-to-skin contact.
- Before you have sex with someone, talk to them about STIs. Find out whether he or she is at risk for them. Remember that a person can be infected without knowing it.
- If you have symptoms of an STI, don't have sex.
- Do not have sex with anyone who has symptoms or who may have been exposed to an STI.
- Having several sex partners increases your risk for infection.
If you are age 26 or younger, you can get the HPV shot. The vaccines Cervarix (What is a Reference PDF Opens New Window document?) and Gardasil (What is a Reference PDF Opens New Window document?) protect against two types of HPV that cause cervical cancer. Gardasil also protects against two types of HPV that cause genital warts.

This category was developed for the discussion of online auctions and their associated questions, problems and other issues.
No auction "pimping" allowed! (Don't try to get free advertising for your auctions here) Expectations of Forum Tone & Behavior Be nice. You want more? Okay, I'll explain. Be nice because it promotes better discussion. When people feel attacked they get defensive. The topic gets derailed onto personal issues, and productive discussion ends. Nobody wins here. If you were sending a friend or family member to the forums, how would you want them to be treated? Stick to the topic. Criticize the argument but not the individual. If you have a strong case, there's no need to attack the other person's character to make your point.* And let me be clear, personal attacks aren't just direct namecalling. These are all attacks to the intelligence and character of the poster and not acceptable: - "Even you can understand this." - "Let me put this in simple terms you can understand." - "Only an idiot would think that." - "I think I lost IQ points just reading that." - "I will not dignify that nonsense with a response." Be respectful and bring value to the conversation. Explain your criticism. Differences of opinion are great! ...if both sides take the time to explain themselves. Don't just have a duck season/rabbit season argument. Good examples: - "I hate to burst your bubble, but that hard drive has gotten some pretty terrible reviews: Link" - "Good price, but mine broke after a week" - "Found it cheaper here: Link" - "Rebate kills this deal. Company XYZ is notorious for not honoring their rebates." - "I'll have to disagree. In my experience..." - "Really? I was just reading this article that says the exact opposite..." Want to avoid the drama and running afoul the moderation team? I'll let you in on this simple, time-tested strategy: Be more polite than you think is necessary. *Excellent video discussing "What You Said vs. Who You Are". Hint: You want to be having the first conversation. It has examples specific to discussing race, but the basic principle applies to any conversation. |

The Obama administration will entertain any Republican plans to avoid a so-called "fiscal cliff" at year's end, but Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner says the Bush-era tax cuts for top incomes must go.
Speaking on CNN's "State of the Union" and other Sunday talk shows, Geithner said he's optimistic that the administration can reach a deal with Congress to avert a one-two punch budget analysts say could throw the U.S. economy back into a recession. But he added, "What we're not going to do is extend those tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans."
"Those cost $1 trillion over 10 years," Geithner told CNN. "And there's no possibility that we're going to find a way to get our fiscal house in order without those tax rates going back up."
Republican congressional leaders have flatly rejected the proposal Geithner offered last week, with House Speaker John Boehner saying Sunday he was "flabbergasted" by the plan. Geither said Sunday that the administration "would be happy to look at an alternative plan, but they have to lay that out for us."
"What we can't do is sit here and trying to figure out what works for them," he said. "They have to come tell us what works for them."
The Bush administration tax cuts -- already extended by two years -- are set to expire at the end of 2012. In addition, spending cuts Congress approved during the Republican-led standoff over raising the federal debt ceiling in 2011 will start kicking in at the same time, cutting $1 trillion over 10 years. Those would be coupled with other cuts, such as the end of a 2-percentage-point cut in Social Security payroll taxes and extended unemployment benefits for many jobless workers, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget office.
The non-partisan Tax Policy Center estimates middle-class families would pay about $2,000 a year more in taxes, or about 4%. The the top 1% of taxpayers would see their tax bills go up around 7%, or about $120,000. Those increases, along with spending cuts, would cut the projected federal budget deficit nearly in half -- but it would also threaten millions of jobs, especially those dependent on government contracting, and risk a return to recession, the CBO found.
The plan administration officials presented to Republicans on Thursday called for $1.6 trillion in new taxes, including letting income tax rates go back up for families making more than $250,000 -- a big element of President Barack Obama's successful re-election campaign. Obama also wants to close loopholes, limit deductions, raise the estate tax rate to 2009 levels and increase taxes on capital gains and dividend taxes.
The proposal also calls for additional spending, including a new $50 billion stimulus package, a home mortgage refinancing plan, and an extension of unemployment insurance benefits. It would also extend the payroll tax cut, passed early in Obama's administration. In return, multiple sources told CNN that Obama is offering $400 billion in new cuts to Medicare and other entitlement programs -- with specifics decided next year.
Speaking on "Fox News Sunday," Boehner said the talks are "going nowhere," and blamed the administration for not taking the Republicans seriously.

RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Chapter 5 of Pete Carroll's book "Win Forever" is all about the decision he made in 1995 that eventually landed him a gig as the defensive coordinator in San Francisco and helped frame his coaching philosophies moving forward.
The chapter is titled, "The 49ers Way." It was one phone call away from having nothing to do with San Francisco and all about Carroll joining up with Mike Shanahan in Denver.
"I thought I was going with Mike. I was really thrilled, after getting bounced with the Jets that somebody called," Carroll recalled this week.
Once nearly co-workers in Denver, Carroll and Shanahan will reconnect on Sunday when the Redskins host the Seahawks on the opening weekend of the NFC playoffs.
While most of the attention has fallen on the two rookie quarterbacks — Washington's Robert Griffin III and Seattle's Russell Wilson — the coaches involved in this playoff matchup are respected for their abilities to be different and innovative on the offensive side (Shanahan) or on the defensive side (Carroll).
Their outward personas might be drastically different, but their ability to scheme and coach seems to be without question.
"I think you've got to be yourself and that's what Pete has done. He's been himself," Shanahan said. "Everyone knows the type of job he did at Southern Cal. He's a guy that is very enthusiastic in everything he does and a good friend."
Each in his third season with his team, Carroll and Shanahan put together regular seasons that will be remembered for the risks they were willing to take in regards to their quarterbacks. For Shanahan, it was giving up a bounty to move up in the draft to select Griffin, then retooling his entire offensive system to fit what his new franchise QB could do best. The result was one of the finest seasons ever by a rookie quarterback.
Not to be outdone, Carroll took a chance by throwing his third-round selection into the middle of a three-way quarterback competition that included free-agent signing Matt Flynn. Wilson became the clear winner and because Carroll had made it a competition, the decision to go with the rookie didn't become an issue in the locker room.
"His energy that he brings every day is unbelievable. It's unmatchable. He loves the game of football. He loves us players," Wilson said. "In terms of just the energy that he brings to practice and in the meetings and everything, you really want to play for him. You just want to put your best foot forward every time you step out on the field." Continued...
There was a moment when Shanahan nearly got that personality of Carroll's on his staff. Shanahan had just landed the head coaching position with the Broncos and was seeking a defensive coordinator. He called Carroll, who had just been fired after one season with the New York Jets, and asked him to come to Denver to interview.
Carroll was on his way to Denver when he heard from 49ers head coach George Seifert. San Francisco was about to lose defensive coordinator Ray Rhodes to the head coaching job in Philadelphia and Seifert wanted Carroll to interview for the expected opening.
In Denver, Carroll could be part of something new, developing the defense alongside what Shanahan was doing offensively with John Elway. In San Francisco, there would be expectations of trying to match the previously set standards. Eventually, Carroll said he wanted the challenge that came with going to San Francisco along with the opportunity to learn more of the intricacies of the West Coast offense.
"The really sound decision was to go to the up-and-coming team as opposed to the team that had just won the world championship, but when I finally realized that I had a hard decision because it meant so much to go to San Francisco and to go back home with George and all of that. I finally figured out that was what was bothering me, and I was thrilled about going forward. I needed to go to San Francisco because I needed to know where they were with their system and all of that."
That opportunity to be in the 49ers system and later during his two seasons there, the chance to pick the brain of Bill Walsh, proved vital for Carroll going forward. Denver didn't miss a beat either, hiring Greg Williams as its defensive coordinator instead of Carroll, and going on to win two Super Bowl titles.
After referring to Carroll as "excitable" earlier this week, Shanahan was asked how he'd describe himself. His answer probably would have stood for Carroll as well.
"That's a good question. I've been called a lot of things before which I can't say. But I think overall, what you want to do as a coach, is be respected," Shanahan said. "You've got a hard job to do and you want to be fair to the best player on your football team as compared to the guy that maybe is not thought of as one of your better players. You want to be consistent, and you'd like to be respected. I think that's one of the things that, if I had people trying to remember me, it would be something like that."

MELBOURNE — Jo-Wilfried Tsonga strayed on to dangerous ground when he suggested jokingly that women tennis players were "emotionally unstable" compared to the men after losing his Australian Open quarter-final on Wednesday.
The Frenchman's defeat to Swiss world number two Roger Federer at Melbourne Park meant the top four men's seeds reached the semi-finals at a grand slam for the 15th time in the professional era.
While the seventh seed was clear in his mind why the top men dominated, he quickly realized he was on shakier ground when asked why the same was not the case in the women's game.
"You know, the girls, they are more unstable emotionally than us. I'm sure everybody will say it's true even the girls," he told a news conference to laughter, before adding when women journalists disagreed: "No? You don't think?"
"It's just about hormones and all this stuff," he added, a big smile on his face. "We don't have all these bad things, so we are physically in a good shape every time, and you are not. That's it."
Women's world number three Serena Williams, renowned for her toughness on court, would have begged to differ with Tsonga after a painful back injury contributed to her loss to fellow American Sloane Stephens in the last eight earlier on Wednesday.
Tsonga was completely at a loss, however, when asked to explain why he could play such a close five-set match against 17-times grand slam champion Federer and yet not break the cabal of the "Big Four"
in men's tennis.
"To be honest, I have no idea," he said. "You know, if you have some advice for me, I will take it because I don't know. I don't know what is the difference.
"I'm just working hard. I do my best. I mean, that's it. Maybe I'm less talented for the moment. Continued...
"In tennis, you know, you cannot lie," he added. "If they are number one, number two, number three, number four, it's because they deserve it and because they are the best players at the moment."
The 27-year-old gave as good as he got for most of an absorbing three-and-a-half hour contest with Federer on Rod Laver Arena before losing 7-6 4-6 7-6 3-6 6-3.
His defeat, along with Jeremy Chardy's loss to Andy Murray earlier in the day, means France will have gone three decades without a male grand slam champion by the time this year's French Open begins.
Tsonga came as close as any Frenchman has to ending the drought since Yannick Noah's 1983 win at Roland Garros when he lost to Novak Djokovic in the 2008 Australian Open final.
Despite being unhappy at his defeat to Federer, he said he would be straight back to work to prepare for his next attempt to break into the winners' circle at one of his sport's majors.
"I'm a bit in the bad mood because I lost it," he said. "But in other ways I played a good match. I was solid. I was there every time.
"I keep my level of concentration really high at all times. I just gave my best today, so I'm proud of that. I'm not happy to lose, and I already look forward for the next tournament, the next grand slam, to try another time."

A look at Netflix since stock plunged from peak
16 hours ago
Here's a look at Netflix since its stock peaked in July 2011 at nearly $305. Netflix had just announced an unpopular price increase in the U.S., and investors got worried by the intensity of the customer backlash. Even after subscriber complaints subsided, investors remained concerned about intensifying competition at the same time the company is spending more to acquire Internet content and expand abroad. Despite those concerns, Netflix has been staging a comeback. Another boost is expected from Sunday's revival of the "Arrested Development" TV series.

France-based Interpol said in a statement Friday it has "deleted all information in relation to William Browder." A special Interpol-related committee decided at a meeting Friday that "the case was of a predominantly political nature" and therefore Interpol shouldn't be involved in helping Russia pursue Browder.
