The side view is better than the bird's eye view, and we all know that bird's eye view is SUPER important.

The magic of the placebo
Sugar pills, injections of nothing — studies show that, more often than you'd expect, placebos really work.

I Was Tortured as a Bahraini Political Prisoner
Thirty-six-year-old Bahraini journalist Ahmed Radhi was one of the roughly 500 prisoners of conscience who were detained following the citizen uprising against Bahrain's government that began in February 2011. The Bahrain Center for Human Rights estimates that the country has the highest number of political prisoners per capita worldwide. Ahmed told us about the supposed reasons for his detention and the extremely poor conditions he faced while in prison.
Being a journalist in Bahrain comes with many risks. The press has no freedom to move and work independently without being harassed by the regime. I was investigated by the Ministry of Information for reporting on the US presence in Bahrain, but it was a May 13 phone interview with the BBC, during which I criticized a proposed union of Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, that led to my recent arrest. Clearly, America and Saudi Arabia are topics that the Bahraini regime doesn't want anyone to discuss.
I was arrested on May 16—police and masked civilians surrounded and broke into my father's house at around 3:30 AM without a court order. I was interrogated from the moment I was arrested until I reached the Criminal Investigation Department building.

Singer Songwriter Jennifer Clarke puts the soul in Soulful
We have bookmarked Singer Songwriter Jennifer Clarke a few times here before, but this time is different. Jennifer recently launched a new website that has full lyric sheets for all the tracks, a ton of songs you can listen to for free, and is generally just a really nice experience. We found it to be a breath of fresh air, and we think you will too.
We have also been keeping up with her on Twitter, if you're into all that :)

Beja (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈbɛʒɐ]) is a city and a municipality in the Alentejo region, Portugal. The municipality has a total area of 1,147.1 km² and a total population of 35,854 inhabitants.[1] The city proper had a population of 21,658 in 2001.[2]
The municipality is the capital of the Beja District. The present Mayor is João Rocha, elected by the Portuguese Communist Party with an absolute majority in the 2009 Portuguese Legislative elections.[3] The municipal holiday is Ascension Day. The Portuguese Air Force has an airbase in the area - the Air Base No. 11.
Situated on a hill (277 m), commanding a strategic position over the vast plains of the Baixo Alentejo, Beja was already an important place in antiquity. Already inhabited in Celtic times, the town was later named Pax Julia by Julius Caesar in 48 BCE, when he made peace with the Lusitanians. He raised the town to be the capital of the southernmost province of Lusitania (Santarém and Braga were the other capitals of the conventi). During the reign of emperor Augustus the thriving town became "Pax Augusta". It was already then a strategic road junction.
When the Visigoths took over the region, the town, then called Paca, became the seat of a bishopric. Saint Aprígio (died in 530) became the first Visigothic bishop of Paca. The town fell to the invading Umayyad army in 713.
Starting in 910 there were successive attempts of conquest and reconquest by the Christian kings. With the collapse of the Umayyad Caliphate of Córdoba in 1031, Beja became a taifa, an independent Muslim-ruled principality. In 1144 the governor of Beja (Arabic: باجة الزيت), Sidray ibn Wazir, helped the rebellion of the Muridun (disciples) led by Abul-Qasim Ahmad ibn al-Husayn al-Quasi in the Algarve against power of Seville. In 1150 the town was captured by an army of the Almohads, who annexed it to their North African empire. It was retaken in 1162 by Fernão Gonçalves, leading the army of the Portuguese king Afonso I. In 1175 Beja was recaptured again by the Almohads. It stayed under Muslim rule till 1234 when king Sancho II finally recaptured the town from the Moors.
All these wars depopulated the town and gradually reduced it to rubble. Only with Manuel I in 1521 did Beja again reach the status of city. It was attacked and occupied by the Portuguese and the Spanish armies during the Portuguese Restoration War (1640–1667).
Beja became again the head of a bishopric in 1770, more than a thousand years after the fall of the Visigothic city. In 1808 Napoleonic troops under General Junot sacked the city and massacred the inhabitants.
Historical sites[edit]
The castle on top of the hill can be seen from afar and dominates the town. It was built, together with the town walls, under the reign of King Diniz in the 13th century over the remains of a Roman castellum that had been fortified by the Moors. It consists of battlement walls with four square corner towers and a central granite and marble keep (Torre de Menagem), with its height of 40 m the highest in Portugal. The top of the keep can be accessed via a spiral staircase with 197 steps, passing three stellar-vaulted rooms with Gothic windows. The merlons of the machicolation around the keep are topped with small pyramids. Standing on the battlements, one has a sensational panorama of the surrounding landscape. One can also glimpse the remains of the city walls that once had forty turrets and five gates. The castle now houses a small military museum.
The square in front of the castle is named after Gonçalo Mendes da Maia or O Lidador, a brave knight killed in the battle against the Moors in 1170.
Visigothic Museum[edit]
The whitewashed Latin-Visigothic church of Santo Amaro, dedicated to Saint Amaro, standing next to the castle, is one of just four pre-Romanesque churches left in Portugal. Some parts date from the 6th century and the interior columns and capitals are carved with foliages and geometric designs from the 7th century. Especially the column with birds attacking a snake is of particular note. It houses today a small archaeological museum with Visigothic art.
Museu da Rainha D. Leonor[edit]
This regional museum was set up in 1927 and 1928 in the former convent Our Lady of the Conception (Convento de Nossa Senhora da Conceição) of the Order of Poor Ladies (dissolved in 1834), gradually expanding its collection. This Franciscan convent had been established in 1459 by Infante Fernando, Duke of Viseu and duke of Beja, next to his ducal palace. The construction continued until 1509.
It is an impressive building with a late-Gothic lattice-worked architrave running along the building. This elegant architrave resembles somewhat the architrave of the Monastery of Batalha, even if there are some early-Manueline influences. Above the entrance porch on the western façade one can see the ajimez window (a mullioned window in Manueline and Moorish style) in the room of the abbess, originating from the demolished palace of the dukes of Beja. The entrance door is embedded under an ogee arch. A square bell-tower and a spire with crockets tower above the complex. The convent has been classified as a national monument.
The entrance hall leads to the sumptuously gilded Baroque chapel, consisting of a single nave under a semi-circular vault. Three altars (one of the 17th century, dedicated to St. John the Evangelist, and two of the 18th century, dedicated to St. Christopher and St. Bento) are decorated with gilded woodwork (talha dourada). The fourth altar, dedicated to St. John the Baptist, was decorated with Florentine mosaics by José Ramalho in 1695.
On the wall are three religious azulejos dating from 1741, depicting scenes from the life of St. John the Baptist
The refectory and the claustro are decorated with exquisite azulejos, some dating from Moorish times, others from the 16th to the 18th centuries.
One enters the chapter house through a Manueline portal from the quadra of St. John the Evangelist. The ribbed vault of this square room was distempered during the renovations of 1727. The walls are covered with Arab-Hispanic azulejos with geometric and vegetal designs that are among the most important ceramic decorations in Portugal. Above the azulejos are some semicircular distempered paintings with religious themes: St. John the Baptist, St. John the Evangelist, St. Christopher, St. Clare and St. Francis of Assisi.
The museum houses also an important collection of Flemish, Spanish and Portuguese paintings from the 15th to the 18th centuries, among them:
- Flemish paintings: Virgin with Milk; Flemish School (c. 1530) and "Christ and His Apostles" (16th century)
- Portuguese paintings: Ecce Homo (15th century), "St. Vincent by Vicente Gil and Manuel Vicente (16th century), "Virgin with the Rose" by Francisco Campos (16th century), "Mass of St. Gregory" probably by Gregório Lopes (16th century), "Annunciation" (16th century) and four paintings by António Nogueira (16th century), "Last Supper" by Pedro Alexandrino (17th century).
- Spanish paintings: St. Augustine, St. Jerome and "Martyrdom of St. Bartholomew" by José de Ribera (Spanish, 17th century), Head of Saint John the Baptist (Spanish School, 17th century)
The museum houses also the funeral monuments in late-Gothic style of the first abbess D. Uganda and of the Infante Fernando, Duke of Viseu and his wife Beatriz of Portugal.
The archaeological collection of Fernando Nunes Ribeiro, donated to museum in 1987 after forty years of archaeological research, is on display on the upper floors: Visigothic and Roman artefacts, gravestones from the Bronze Age with antique writings of the Iberians and steles from the Iron Age.
Among the several other artefacts in its collection, the museum possesses the Escudela de Pero de Faria, a unique piece of Chinese porcelain from 1541.
Five Love Letters of a Portuguese Nun[edit]
Main article : Letters of a Portuguese Nun
The love affair of Mariana Alcoforado, a 17th-century nun from the convent of the Poor Ladies, with the French officer Noël Bouton, Marquis de Chamilly and later Marshal of France, has made Beja famous in (mainly Portuguese and French) literary circles. Looking from her window, the janela de Mertola, she saw the young officer only once in 1641, while he was campaigning against the Spanish army in the Alentejo. She fell in love at once and wrote him five passionate letters. The Portuguese version of these letters don't exist anymore. They were "translated" into French and published in Brussels in 1669 and soon in several other languages. These lyrical letters full of absolute passion, hope, pleas and despair were an instant success. In the same year the original publisher, Claude Barbin, published a sequel, again written by a Portuguese "lady of society" with seven new letters added to the original five. Later, several hack writers wrote serial stories on the same theme. The interest in these Portuguese love letters was so strong in the 17th century, that the word "portugaise" became synonymous for "passionate love letter". Even in recent years these letters have been transformed into a stage play "Cartas". It was performed in New York in the Bleecker Theatre's Culture Project in 2001.
|Climate chart (explanation)
The climate in Beja (the hottest district capital city in Portugal) is influenced by its distance from the coast. Although mild by European standards, Beja has relatively cool winters compared to coastal Portugal, while summers are long and hot. The high in January is around 14 °C (57 °F) while the July and August highs are around 33 °C (91 °F). Snow is not common but it can fall occasionally. The January low is 5 °C (41 °F) and in July and August is 16 °C (61 °F). The annual mean is around 16 °C (61 °F). The average total rainfall in a year is 572 mm. The year 2005 was particularly dry in Portugal and Beja suffered devastating forest fires in the surrounding rural areas.

NSMS services
Comprehensive Web Hosting
If you are one of the many University Departments and Colleges that host their Web sites on the OUCS Web servers, you may have wondered how best to implement more advanced options, without realizing that a more comprehensive Web service is also available from OUCS via NSMS.
Managed by the NSMS team, Web hosting is available with a full range of advanced features. By hosting sites on Linux (Apache) or Windows 2008 R2 (IIS v7.5), many powerful technologies are currently available and others can be made available on request
NSMS has at its disposal two advanced rack mounted Blade systems running VMware Virtual Infrastructure and with this facility we can rapidly create and deploy Web servers to meet demanding requirements.
The ability to create new Web servers means that we can also quickly add new technologies to meet users' requirements e.g. Java applications, Content Management Systems and reporting tools, If these are unsuitable for shared web servers, NSMS can discuss providing these on a dedicated host tailored to the customer's individual requirements, at an additional cost.
The Web servers running on the NSMS Blade systems currently offer a long list of technologies, including:
- Perl, PHP, ASP, SSI, Python, Ruby
- MySQL, ODBC, JDBC, MyODBC, Microsoft SQL Server 2008, PostgreSQL, phpMyAdmin
- Microsoft .NET, ASP.NET
Users can upload their Web pages through secured interfaces. Your username and password will be safe. Databases can be uploaded directly from your desktop and then managed remotely by a variety of industry standard means.
Graphical and textual reports are generated on the first day of each month and emailed directly to you. These highlight your Web site's performance, including hit statistics indicating user demographics and intensity of use per page.
Colleges, departments, clubs, societies and individuals can take advantage of the NSMS Web hosting service.
Please note: In terms of facilities offered, this hosting service is the most comprehensive that is offered by OUCS. You may find it useful to look at the comparison of OUCS web hosting services page to help you decide which service is the most appropriate for you.
Content Management Systems
Many Web sites are designed using a Content Management System. The NSMS Web hosting service supports the following Content Management Systems in two distinct categories according to how the server is provided:
Hosting Features
Current sites
Test and Development Web Hosting
The NSMS team can host "test and development sites" for any department, college, club, society or individual associated with Oxford University.
The advanced blade server technology which hosts our main departmental Web servers also allows us to create a new Web server within minutes. Key services such as disk space and memory can be altered rapidly and with little impact on the running of the hosted site.
Since the site is a virtual host, management of the Web technologies is straightforward and has no effect on other users' sites.
IIS, Apache and Tomcat platforms are all available and since our test servers are all virtual, setup, configuration and deletion is fast and efficient. When compared to the time and cost of buying and configuring your own hardware to act as Web servers, the NSMS Test and Development Servers can save you time and money.
If you wish to do more extensive development, writing your own web applications for example, you may be interested in our VM4Rent service.
For current charging information for this service see our Web hosting charges page.
Case Study: Enhancing web services at the Department of Theology
The Department of Theology has an extensive and complex Web site which, by making use of many technologies, illustrates very well the main method of Web development used by many Web programmers in the University.
The key components are PHP scripts, which are used to manipulate data held in extensive MySQL databases. The databases are "hidden away" on the server, yet the webmaster can access these through a phpMyAdmin Web interface in order to make direct changes to the structure of his tables. In addition, new and updated MySQL database files can be uploaded directly from the webmaster's desktop by way of a secured FTP client.
The fact that database information is held in one easily accessible, secure, area means that it is easier to make changes quickly.

GULLANE, Scotland (Reuters) - British Open organizers are not expecting the rock-hard greens at sun-drenched Muirfield to be as fiery in the second round as they were over the opening 18 holes.
Several players complained the putting surfaces were too speedy on Thursday and, coupled with the difficult pin positions set up by the Royal & Ancient (R&A), it made it almost impossible to get the ball close to the hole.
"Last night the greens were hand watered. The sprinkler system was not used," the R&A said in a statement during Friday's second round.
"The greens are expected to pick up pace during the day again but the dramatic increases of yesterday are not anticipated."
U.S. Masters champion Adam Scott, Ian Poulter of Britain and American Bubba Watson were among the players to raise concerns on Thursday.
"It is far from unplayable but we do hear player comment and we're not so insular as to ignore it," R&A chief executive Peter Dawson said.
Poulter was unhappy after his one-over 72, saying it was disappointing when good shots were not being rewarded properly.
"Unfortunately the guys this afternoon will struggle with a few pin positions," he said on his Twitter account. "8th hole is a joke, 18th needs a windmill & clown face."
Watson, who shot a 70, said it was the most difficult start to a British Open he could remember.
"This is the toughest I've ever seen on the first day," he told reporters. "The pin locations, the burned out greens, the firmness of the greens and the firmness of the fairways."
Dawson said the extremely hot weather had made the course more difficult but he was happy with the set-up.
"We've got the conditions here that we really like to have - hard, fast and running," he said. "We set up the course to test the players' course management strategy."
Scott, who carded a 71, described some of the flag positions on Thursday as "really borderline".
"It's so dry and it's pretty spooky out there," said the Australian.

18 U.S. Code § 3582 - Imposition of a sentence of imprisonment
(a) Factors To Be Considered in Imposing a Term of Imprisonment.— The court, in determining whether to impose a term of imprisonment, and, if a term of imprisonment is to be imposed, in determining the length of the term, shall consider the factors set forth in section 3553 (a) to the extent that they are applicable, recognizing that imprisonment is not an appropriate means of promoting correction and rehabilitation. In determining whether to make a recommendation concerning the type of prison facility appropriate for the defendant, the court shall consider any pertinent policy statements issued by the Sentencing Commission pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 994 (a)(2).
(b) Effect of Finality of Judgment.— Notwithstanding the fact that a sentence to imprisonment can subsequently be—
(2) corrected pursuant to the provisions of rule 35 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure and section 3742; or
(3) appealed and modified, if outside the guideline range, pursuant to the provisions of section 3742;
a judgment of conviction that includes such a sentence constitutes a final judgment for all other purposes.
(c) Modification of an Imposed Term of Imprisonment.— The court may not modify a term of imprisonment once it has been imposed except that—
(1) in any case—
(A) the court, upon motion of the Director of the Bureau of Prisons, may reduce the term of imprisonment (and may impose a term of probation or supervised release with or without conditions that does not exceed the unserved portion of the original term of imprisonment), after considering the factors set forth in section 3553 (a) to the extent that they are applicable, if it finds that—
(ii) the defendant is at least 70 years of age, has served at least 30 years in prison, pursuant to a sentence imposed under section 3559 (c), for the offense or offenses for which the defendant is currently imprisoned, and a determination has been made by the Director of the Bureau of Prisons that the defendant is not a danger to the safety of any other person or the community, as provided under section 3142 (g);
and that such a reduction is consistent with applicable policy statements issued by the Sentencing Commission; and
(2) in the case of a defendant who has been sentenced to a term of imprisonment based on a sentencing range that has subsequently been lowered by the Sentencing Commission pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 994 (o), upon motion of the defendant or the Director of the Bureau of Prisons, or on its own motion, the court may reduce the term of imprisonment, after considering the factors set forth in section 3553 (a) to the extent that they are applicable, if such a reduction is consistent with applicable policy statements issued by the Sentencing Commission.
(d) Inclusion of an Order To Limit Criminal Association of Organized Crime and Drug Offenders.— The court, in imposing a sentence to a term of imprisonment upon a defendant convicted of a felony set forth in chapter 95 (racketeering) or 96 (racketeer influenced and corrupt organizations) of this title or in the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970 (21 U.S.C. 801 et seq.), or at any time thereafter upon motion by the Director of the Bureau of Prisons or a United States attorney, may include as a part of the sentence an order that requires that the defendant not associate or communicate with a specified person, other than his attorney, upon a showing of probable cause to believe that association or communication with such person is for the purpose of enabling the defendant to control, manage, direct, finance, or otherwise participate in an illegal enterprise.

Will humankind ever achieve an end to science history?
My bioelectricity class is half science and half history. When we bring up a new topic, we often first pause to set its historical backdrop from a political and experimental perspective. This is particularly interesting, given that in bioelectricity, experiments date back several hundred years, but are also unfolding every day (quite literally, if we consider that ion channels are proteins whose foling structures are a topic of this field -- see http://fold.it/portal/ for a link to the fold it protein folding game taking the world by storm). But when I try to consider new research, I find myself feeling viscerally skeptical of our own time's limited perspective on our own accomplishments to date.
Phillip von Jolly, Planck's professor at Munich, is pretty much solely known for falsely predicting of physics that, "in this field, almost everything is already discovered, and all that remains is to fill a few unimportant holes." Similarly, Lord Kelvin is said to have proclaimed that "there is nothing new to be discovered in physics now. All that remains is more and more precise measurement." Both of these quotes were said at the dawn of the quantum era. I think we humans tend to assume that we are at the end of history, that all scientific and social progress has culminated to the present.
The question I would like to pose is whether or not science is at least honing in on an absolute reality--what philosophers call "scientific realism." Are we getting closer--converging--to the end of scientific discovery with each paradigm shift, or do we just recast how we understand the world in a different vocabulary? From one perspective, the miasma theory of disease, which preceded today's germ theory, was thought to be approximately accurate experimentally, just like today's germ theory is "approximately accurate" as far as it's clinical effectiveness. Is there a truth of nature behind a curtain for us to discover? If there is, are humans capable of acieving it?

Feb 14 2013: At some point there has to be a law of diminishing returns, i.e. the energy needed to discover/re-arrange/break apart chunks of the universe becomes too much of a barrier. That barrier is pretty far away from being reached by us in the 21st century. Unless there's some miracle fudge factor inherent in reality that gives us god like powers.
Feb 14 2013: Thank for the comment, Bob.
Very interesting. It sounds like you don't necessarily believe in an (attainable, at least) "scientific truth" that will end the quest to refine our science, but rather that humans will become satisfied with what we know, and won't feel the need to extend our knowledge. Meaning, we will get to a point where our science does enough for us and practically there won't be a need for more discovery--even if there are still things we don't understand! That's quite a unique view.
I've always wanted to believe that human curiosity and our drive to understand and probe the world is endless. You seem to be saying that it will run out and we will be complacent with how well we understand things. I guess time will tell.
Bob StiglitzFeb 14 2013: It's not that I don't believe in attainable scientific truth, it's simply that what we think of as 'the universe' (i.e. what we have access to) may not even be a fraction of what possibly exists. Also when we say 'truth' we're talking human conceptualization of truth, real truth does not need expression in human terms. It just is. Consider all the other life forms that have to find food, they too have access to 'scientific truth' but not expressed in human ways.
Imagine being on the outside of an onion, you're on the first layer, but there are many layers you can't access from where you are.
We tend to associate 'scientific truth' with 'what we have access to environmentally'. We can speculate that perhaps there may be environments we can't reach from our limited space-time dimension we exist in. Now I know that sounds a bit 'mystical' and I don't mean to be, I'm just trying to say that we tend to want to believe everything encompassing the whole of existence is 'accessible' to us, this may not be the case.

Day two live blog coverage has come to an end. It was another hectic day of tennis at Melbourne Park and it continues into the evening. Stay with us for the latest from Bernard Tomic's first round match against Argentine Leonardo Mayer on centre court. But we'll be back again tomorrow with all the happenings from the Australian Open surrounds, from Rod Laver Arena to all the outside courts. See you then!
Another Australian bites the dust. The country's top-ranked male (until yesterday at least) Marinko Matosevic goes down to Croatian 12th seed Marin Cilic, 4-6 5-7 2-6, on Margaret Court Arena. That means the 27-year-old is still yet to go past the opening round of a grand slam tournament. Matosevic must be getting sick of the sight of Cilic after losing to him in last year's US Open first round.

Serena's injury scare was undoubtedly the hot talking point in the surrounds of Melbourne Park today. The multiple grand slam winner was quizzed at length about her tumble following her 6-0 6-0 victory.
Q: Is it too early to call, whether you can play Thursday? A: Oh, I'll be out there. I mean, unless something fatal happens to me, there's no way I'm not going to be competing. I'm alive. My heart's beating. I'll be fine.
Q: Is there any pain or swelling there now? A: Obviously there's pain. Obviously there's swelling. So it's going to be really important to see how the next few hours unfold.
Q: You've seen some pretty serious injuries before. Is there something that switches on in your head, I'm injured, this is what I'm going to do? A: Absolutely. I've been injured before. I've played this tournament with so many injuries and was able to come off pretty on top. So for me it's just another page and a great story to tell the grandkids one day (laughter).
The great all-Australian wildcard clash has finally come to an end. The two 20-year-olds, James Duckworth and Ben Mitchell, battled it out for close to four and a half hours but it was Duckworth who progressed to a second round berth. He won the first two sets, Mitchell rallied in the third and fourth sets, but got over the line 8-6 in the final set. The final score: 6-4 7-6 (10-8) 4-6 5-7 8-6 before a boisterous crowd on the Aussie-friendly Margaret Court Arena.
The day three schedule of play has been released. World No.1 Novak Djokovic earns his first feature match in the night session with the Serbian taking on American Ryan Harrison in the second round. The centre court action will earlier feature Agnieszka Radwanska, Tomas Berdych and Australia's Sam Stosur, who takes on China's Jie Zheng.
Australia's No.1 male player Bernard Tomic (he only regained the ranking spot yesterday) takes to the court for this first round match tonight. Our experts Peter Hanlon and Linda Pearce assess his chances at the Australian Open in the latest edition of Top Spin.

The top two players in one quarter of the men's draw, Roger Federer and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, are though to the second round after straight sets victories. Four-time champion Federer needed less than 90 minutes to dispose of Frenchman Benoit Paire, 6-2 6-4 6-1, while Tsonga took out countryman Michael Llodra 6-4 7-5 6-2.

The all-Australian wildcard clash enters a fifth set. The two 20-year-olds, Ben Mitchell and James Duckworth, have already been on court for more than three hours after Mitchell fought back from two-sets-to-love down. Australian tennis officials would be loving this brutal clash on show court two. Duckworth is up by one game in the fifth set with the scoreline at 6-4 7-6 (10-8) 4-6 5-7 1-0.
Swiss master Roger Federer doing it all his way on the turf where he is remarkably familiar, centre court at Melbourne Park. The grand slam record holder leads Frenchman Benoit Paire 6-2 6-4 after one hour and one minute of play. Looks like we're set for a pretty early finish to the day session on Rod Laver Arena. Bring on Bernard Tomic for his 7pm start in the feature match of the night session.
No.8 seed Petra Kvitova has survived a dangerous first round contest by defeating Italian Fransesca Schiavone in three sets, 6-4 2-6 6-2. In just over two hours on the popular Margaret Court Arena, Kvitova inflicted the Italian's earliest exit from Melbourne Park since 2009. The Czech will now meet either American Melanie Oudin or Great Britain's Laura Robson in the second round.
This is one way of getting another Australian male into the second round. Wildcard recipients James Duckworth and Benjamin Mitchell are battling it out on show court two with a tough second set just decided in a tie-break. Duckworth, 20, is now up two-sets-to-love, 6-4 7-6 (10-8), after about two hours of court with the temperature increasing in Melbourne.

Serena Williams has already faced the press after her first round demolition but all the answers were about her ankle and THAT tumble during the first set. The red-hot tournament favourite knows she has some treatment ahead of her but she wanted to stress that it would not compromise her Australian Open campaign. "I'm here to compete," she said.
It's one set all in one of the enticing matches on day two at Melbourne Park. Veteran Italian Francesca Schiavone and Czech 8th seed Petra Kvitova have each won a set in their clash on Margaret Court Arena. Early in the deciding set, Kvitova is up a break of serve, leading 6-4 2-6 2-0 after more than 90 minutes on court.
Game, set, match. Double-bagel. Serena makes light of her mid-match ankle treatment and demolishes her first round opponent 6-0 6-0. The first set latest 33 minutes (including a medical time-out) while she needed just 21 minutes in the second to complete the rout. Some interesting match stats? Serena Williams won 52 points to just 18 for her vanquished opponent, Romania's Elina Gallovits-Hall.

Seems that left ankle concern is not bothering Serena. Not in the slightest. She needed just 33 minutes to take the first set 6-0 against Edina Gallovits-Hall and is making equally fast inroads in the second set. Anyone want to jump off the bandwagon of those picking Serena Williams to win another Australian Open?

Got to love this result .... Japan's Kimino Date-Krumm defeated Nadia Petrova 6-2 6-0. What's so interesting about that, you ask, apart from knocking off the 12th seed? Well, Date-Krumm is 42 years old! Great to see a player getting around who first played in a grand slam tournament in the '80s. That's right - the 1989 US Open. Naturally, for a player who last won a match at the Australian Open back in 1996, she was quizzed about the secret to her longevity (she did have a 12-year break from the tour. "It's nothing. Just I eat a lot; I sleep a lot. Last night I was in the bed before 10:00. I finished the dinner already 7:30. Sleep before 10:00 like the kids (laughter). Because always after the match or after the practice I'm tired, so I need time to recover a lot. So I sleep a lot; I eat healthy foods; I drink a lot. It's simple life. That's it. Nothing special."
Injury scare for Serena Williams. The hottest player in the women's game took a tumble and rolled her right ankle in her first round match on Hisense Arena. She took a medical time-out and immediately underwent courtside treatment, including getting her ankle restrapped. HEAVILY restrapped. She also took the chance to have her left ankle restrapped. All this while leading 4-0 against Edina Gallovits-Hall.

The day is only just starting to get to life at Melbourne Park. So let's get nostalgic (well, reflective, at least). There have been countless memorable moments at the Australian Open over the past 25 years at the current venue. Today, as part of the Melbourne Park Memories series, we remember Jelena Dokic's unexpected charge at the 2009 tournament.

The Woz gets the job done. Caroline Wozniacki takes three sets to progress past the first round, defeating Sabine Lisicki 2-6 6-3 6-3 on Hisense Arena. Losing the first set seemed to spark the Dane into action. One hour and 46 minutes on court for the former world No.1.
Andy Murray finishes the job in style, beating Robin Haase 6-3, 6-1, 6-3 in a little over and hour and a half. Couldn't have looked much better; plenty left in the sheds for more taxing engagements to come.

Caroline Wozniacki fights back against Sabine Lisicki. It's now one-set all on Hisense Arena. The Dane dropped the first set 6-2 in 32 minutes then recovered to take the second 6-3 in 38 minutes. But the battle is still on for the one-time world No.1 to progress past the opening round.
Peter Hanlon: First look at Andy Murray as a grand slam champion, and he takes the first set 6-3 against Robin Haase on centre court. Still not the happiest of campers. Dropped serve in the eighth game and had the look of a teenager who's just been hit with a week-long screen ban. Good to watch - plenty of variety, looks as fit as a robber's dog.
Linda Pearce: The ATP will be forced to replace its executive chairman and president, the respected Australian Brad Drewett, who has been diagnosed with motor neurone disease just over a year into his role as the senior administrator in the men's game.
The popular Drewett, who ran the ATP's international group operations out of Sydney until taking over the lead role last January, will continues in his current role on an interim basis as the ATP Board of Directors begins the search for his successor.
"It has been a privilege to serve as executive chairman and rresident of the ATP, an organization that I've been a part of for more than 35 years since I became a professional tennis player," said Drewett. "I hold the ATP very close to my heart, and it's with sadness that I make the decision to enter this transition period due to my ill-health."
Early trouble for Caroline Wozniacki. The Dane lost the opening set 6-2 in 32 minutes to German Sabine Lisicki. Wozniacki was a quarter-finalist here last year and a semi-finalist two years ago. She famously came under significant scrutiny during her time as world No.1 as she has yet to snare a slam. She's a long way from ending that anomaly.
Parochialism is always a touchy subject at the Australian Open. One of our scribes, experienced sports writer Richard Hinds, is stirring the water on Twitter with his #flagsforall campaign. You've got to check it out! ...
Thanks to the 8 Aust. players who tanked their matches yesterday to support their flagless opponents. Solidarity!#flagsforall— Richard Hinds (@rdhinds) January 14, 2013
Matches are underway at Melbourne Park. World No.3 and the most recent grand slam winner Andy Murray is off to the flyer against Robin Haase of the Netherlands on centre court, leading 4-1 in the first set. One-time world No.1 Caroline Wozniacki, of Denmark, is trailing 3-2 (including a break of serve) against Germany's Sabine Lisicki on Hisense Arena.
Lleyton Hewitt has come and gone in his 17th Australian Open appearance. The veteran was always going to struggle to progress beyond the early rounds and his cause wasn't helped when he drew a top 10 player in the first round. What for the two-time grand slam winner now?

There will be no supplementary discipline for Montreal Canadiens forward Max Pacioretty after his hit on New York Rangers defenceman Ryan McDonagh on Saturday night.
Pacioretty had a phone hearing on Sunday with National Hockey League Director of Player Safety Brendan Shanahan.
Pacioretty delivered the hit just over seven minutes into the second period of the Canadiens' 3-0 win Saturday night, taking McDonagh hard into the end boards in the Rangers' zone.
The 24-year-old Pacioretty was assessed a boarding minor on the play, while McDonagh would leave the game following the hit and did not return.
Rangers head coach John Tortorella was vocally unimpressed with the hit, venting his frustration to reporters after the game.
"Can I ask the first question? How high did Pacioretty jump on his hit, can anyone tell me?" he asked to kick off his post-game press conference. "I'm asking you guys. Over/under?"
When given an estimate of six inches, Tortorella responded bluntly with "You're wrong."
In 14 games this season Pacioretty has registered four goals and 13 points, good for a share of the Canadiens team lead.
Pacioretty has been suspended once by the NHL, receiving a three-game ban on Dec. 6, 2011 for a hit to the head of Pittsburgh defenceman Kris Letang.

Firstly i'd like to thank Ray Jennings for inviting me on this trip, shame you couldn't make it mate.
After a 4 hour drive with Bruce Hood and Craig Hollaway through the Hunter region, one of my favourite drives we arrived at the Sunflower farm. On the drive through the property we passed this amazing shed and water tank, it felt like that scene out of Jurassic Park when they couldn't get out of the vehicle to look at the dinosaurs. After checking out some fields and windmills we headed back to this location and spent the afternoon drinking Coronas and waiting for the sunset.
The three quarter moon in genuine maybe just a little larger, but thats what it looked like to our eye and thats not the Coronas talking.
I'm off to the Blue Mountains this weekend to stay with out good friends Stig and Lisa so I'm looking forward to a bit of bush walking and maybe a little autumn colour.
Thanks for all the comments and support, I'm sorry if I've been slack in getting back to you, it's been a little hectic with work and the arrival of our third child.

At least you practice what you preach and review other music pieces. I'll do what I can...
Thank you! we're not perfect but we try to support as much as we can!
Yep, that totally sucks. I sometimes wish that Newgrounds would do a little bit more against those haters. Of course, rating submissions is cool, but that system is nearly perfect for hating, even anonymously hating. I feel with you since one of my songs has been "hate-killed" as well.
This guy gets it. Did I link you to your video I put up?
Same as the guy below me.But I didn't even knew you submitted music.
Also,why are you mentioning your name which begins with f again and again?
My name is Logan. Not Fuck. But thank you.

So DD3 is driving us batty with asking for foods but then not eating them at all and asking for more or something else. I know she is VERY young to even be asking for food let alone realize that you need to finish what we just made before asking for more. But we also can't keep giving her food that she isn't eating.
How would you handle this? She is very smart so she might understand the concept of "finish this first then I will give you that" but maybe not IDK. She sometimes will ask for something and hear her sister ask for something else and then she will want that. Sometimes she will just ask and then when you bring it to her she says "noooooo!!!!!" And throws a tantrum. Sometimes she will eat a few bites and then bring the plate back to me asking for something else. It really varies. Regardless, if we say no she FLIPS. She isn't subtle with her wants and needs

Police in Aurora say officers wrote 21 tickets for texting while driving in just four hours during a recent crackdown on distracted driving.
Aurora police say the action on the city's East Side was prompted by statistics showing that 69% of crashes there during the first two months of the year were rear-end collisions.
Police Lt. Pete Inda tells the (Aurora) Beacon-News that that "clearly indicates distracted driving."
During the April 3 operation, police in undercover vehicles identified drivers displaying signs of being distracted and radioed officers in marked cars to make traffic stops.
Illinois made it illegal to text and drive in 2010.

hehe...I like the sweater that simply just says "KWAN" on it...
[CENTER]I also recall her doing a cameo on Beverly Hills 90210. I couldn't find any stills from that, but I did manage to find THIS picture of her from 1998.[/CENTER]
Michelle was on 90210??? I didn't know that! Wonder how I missed it...not a fan of the show, but...
I'll admit that I was a fan ( not too much of a surprise I am sure ) for the first 4 years or more - drove by there "house" (acutely in Altadena) to pick up one of the kids I was a "Charles in Charge for....anyhoo,
I think I remember that, but It may be part of that "Hollywood fog" I was living in. or it happened after I stopped watching.
What??? Didn't that show finish in the very early 90s? Why would Kwan wouldn't have been on the radar to be on a show like that until at least 1995 and more likely not until her first world champinship victory in 1996.Originally Posted by IDLERACER
I think the show ended in 1999.Originally Posted by antmanb
Oh my god, really? I guess nothing from the early 90s onwards made it onto the screens in the UK...did they get a "new generation" or were they following the characters off to college, then theuir careers?Originally Posted by MKFSfan
The show followed the characters off to college, and then started their post-college lives. That's when the show slowed down, IMO, and became too much like Melrose place. It was intended to be geared for the younger crowd, and I guess some liked that they didn't graduate the original cast off in favor for a new class, but I felt the show lost something, especially post-college. You had babies, weddings, housemate issues...just not the same as the HS storyline!
[CENTER]That show was on throughout the whole decade (1990-2000). I never watched it, except for once, when I heard that Michelle was doing what basically amounted to a gag cameo. It showed her closing her locker, then skating down the hall (which was made out of faux-ice for that one bit, which was really lame).[/CENTER]Originally Posted by antmanb

According to cadhay.org.uk, A great venue comes from a great and creative mind. A sense of closeness and excitement should be reigning in all wedding venues since the purpose of this ceremony is the unison of two hearts, two minds, and two souls. People are likely to have different opinions regarding this concept since everyone has his or her own belief and perception. Nevertheless, there are certain venues and reception that will give you that special aura and will keep everyone in the house thrilled and delighted from the start up to the end of the whole event. Such a location for your wedding will create the most memorable and promising day of any couples' lives.
The process of looking for the right wedding venue and reception is somewhat challenging yet worthwhile in the end because your guests will feel relaxed and comfortable all throughout the ceremony and at the end of the day they will pour you with gratitude for creating a remarkable day. So what are the standards to be considered when looking for the right wedding venue and reception? The multitude of such great locations will edify you with several brilliant wedding tips and ideas. These fantastic concepts shall be integrated into the entire setting of the wedding venue and reception in a pleasant way. The setting of the reception and venue enacts a very important function in creating a mesmerizing and wonderful atmosphere. It also influences the services and facilities together to add a touch with respect to the overall celebration.
A good wedding reception ideally includes packages that offer the cuisine, drinks, event hosting and entertainment, photography, etc. Such locations leave this wedding feature to the decision or preference of the clients. A good wedding venue and reception will allow you the freedom to design and beautify the whole place according to your visualization and are willing to work hand in hand to accomplish the goal. To set the mood of the place, you need to ask help and see if they also include services such as the provision of wedding embellishments and add-ons as well as the lighting arrangements which contribute a huge role in setting up the mood of the venue and reception.
An ideal wedding venue and reception will direct and organize the entire activities that are related to the wedding event. They will assist you in familiarizing with the different materials and activities that are needed for the wedding. Practical details such as the cost/ disbursement factor, parking amenities, lodging services, and transportation to and fro the reception and venue, etc. should not be left overlooked.
The success of a wedding celebration is not measured only on the setting and services offered by the venue and reception. The most important aspect is the assertiveness and manner of the workers at the location which can either lead to a success or failure event. Excellent wedding venue staffs are competent at doing their job and will make everyone feel relaxed and comfortable and respected as well. When all of these factors are properly applied, you will surely have the best wedding experience one can have!

FARGO, ND (KFGO AM) -- Cass County Coroner Dr. John Baird asked for and received some help from county commissioners.
He says his office is facing a growing caseload and is under a lot of pressure without adequate morgue space, a formal office and full time employees.
Yesterday, county commissioners approved space for an office in the courthouse and for a van for death investigators.
Baird hopes this is just the start of improving working conditions for the coroner.
Baird says the county still doesn't have a morgue so that means he has to rely on local funeral homes to handle bodies.
Commissioner Darrell Vanyo says the board took care of the biggest issue, getting the investigators paid appropriately and having adequate space to work.
He also says, for now, morgue space is not a priority for the commission.

Want a side of math with that story time? From simple to semi-sophisticated, here are some ways I've worked math into my library programs!
There are multiple steps in my story time projects, and some of those steps involve selecting certain amounts of art supplies. So we'll count together. For example, if the kids need 2 pipe cleaners for their project, I'll hold out a bunch of pipe cleaners and count aloud as each kids selects them, "One…two! Great!"
During projects, I'll often put a line of supplies on the windowsill, and kids walk down the line and select certain amounts of supplies from each container. I used to use post it notes to mark the number needed on each container…
But then I found these little babies!
These are 8″ table card holders. I purchased mine from an online restaurant supply company (The Web Restaurant Store). Don't they look snazzy?
Sometimes, I'll have a project that requires a diagram to demonstrates how much of something is needed. For example, this rainbow cloud project needed to be covered in cotton balls, so I drew a diagram showing how many balls needed to be attached, and how many cotton balls you'd need in total. Numbers, beautiful numbers.
OK! That's it for the simple stuff. Who's up for something a little more…elaborate?
In 2012, my library hosted a large-scale Robin Hood event. I knew we just had to do something on taxes. But how were we going to design something that involved taxes, math, Medieval history, but was also simple enough for kids of various ages to grasp quickly?
The answer came from my brilliant event assistant Katie. We would design a tax wheel game based on Hi Ho Cherry-O. We called it "Your Tax Dollars at Work."
Hi Ho Cherry-O is a classic early math game involving counting and numbers. The game is driven by a spinner that dictates whether you add or remove cherries from your basket during game play. But what if the spinner for our version pointed to various Medieval taxes, the game pieces were coins? We could even throw some Robin Hood characters on the wheel. Perfect.
We knew needed to go big and durable at such a large, crowded event. So I ordered a 36″ blank roulette wheel from Spinning Designs Incorporated. The company was very tickled at how the wheel was going to be used. They gave me a fantastic deal on a wheel that had some very minor surface imperfections (which I honestly could never find).
Then Katie and I researched the different types of taxes from Robin Hood's day. There were a lot (honestly, who taxes you for churning your butter?). We also had to find a way to gain coins back during the game.
Ultimately, we came up with the following "Lose" and "Gain" categories.
Lose Coin
- Travel tax
- Churn your butter tax
- Bake your bread tax
- Pay your lord
- Grind your grain tax
- Sheriff steals
- Prince John takes all
- Land tax
Gain (or at least not lose) Coin
- Harvest time
- May Day
- Good day at market
- Robin Hood gives you coins
As you can see, there were more ways to lose your money than gain it. We intentionally designed the game that way. There were going to be so many people at the event (3,500 actually) we wanted the game play to average 3 minutes so lots of kids could have multiple turns. If you're interested, here are the complete game instructions.
In addition to the wheel, there were game boards designed to look like Medieval money bags. You placed 5 coins in your "bag" at the start of the game, then added or removed coins as the wheel dictated. We used metal replicas of Medieval coins. Because we're nerds like that.
When all your coins were gone, the game was over! As a "consolation" prize, kids got a chocolate foil-wrapped coin. Kids with food allergies or dietary restrictions got to take home one of the metal replica coins.
The "Your Tax Dollars at Work" wheel and game boards were drawn by Kemi Lin, an amazing Princeton University student artist. She did it all. By hand. With packs of Sharpies. After the event, the game was donated to the Somerset County library system. Long may it live!
