Turkish unrest will have 'no bearing' on 2020 Olympic plans
The anti-government protests in Turkey "will have no bearing" on Istanbul's ability to host the 2020 Olympics, the bid committee said Wednesday.
The Olympic bid has been rattled by the nearly two weeks of protests that began in Istanbul and spread to dozens of other cities. It's the biggest test yet in the 10-year rule of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Istanbul, making its fifth bid for the Olympics, is competing against Madrid and Tokyo. The IOC will select the host city Sept. 7 in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The pictures and television images of the violence in Istanbul's Taksim Square — including riot police firing tear gas and water cannons at protesters — have tarnished Turkey's image abroad and raised serious challenges for the Olympic bid.
The bid committee issued a statement Wednesday insisting that the feedback from IOC members and other Olympic officials has been positive and understanding.
"While they are obviously as keen as we are for a swift and peaceful resolution, the majority of people we have spoken to recognize that 2020 is still seven years away," the statement said.
The committee also sought to dispel doubts that Istanbul, if awarded the games, would be able to carry out all the necessary construction work in the face of possible protests.
"This situation will have no bearing on our ability to deliver our games concept," the statement said, adding that the project was designed in consultation with environmental groups and non-governmental organizations.
"That consultation process will continue in partnership with the national and municipal authorities throughout the construction program," it said.
The committee said the bid has the backing of the Turkish public, citing the most recent IOC survey — conducted months before the unrest — showing 83 percent support in Istanbul.
"This is a bid for the people of Turkey and we are united by our passion to bring the games here for the first time," the statement said. "Istanbul 2020, and the 20-year dream of the Turkish people, will not be affected by these events."
Istanbul, Madrid and Tokyo will make bid presentations this weekend to the Association of National Olympic Committees in Lausanne, Switzerland. The Istanbul bid group said it would "provide assurances" to the assembly.
Egemen Bagis, the Turkish minister in charge of relations with the European Union, said large cities all over the world can experience protests.
"No one should use these protests — that show the strength of the civil society dynamics in Turkey — against Turkey," he said at a sports business convention in Istanbul on Tuesday night. "We love all our citizens. We embrace them and will continue to do so.
"This nation, this government, when it sets an ideal, it accomplishes it as long as it believes in itself. The Turkish nation believes that it can stage the 2020 Olympics. We always accomplish what we believe in."
Turkey is also preparing to host the Olympic-style Mediterranean Games and soccer's Under-20 World Cup.
"The current situation has in no way detracted from Turkey's ability to deliver world-class sports events," the Istanbul statement said.
The Mediterranean Games are scheduled for June 20-30 in the coastal city of Mersin, with thousands of athletes from two dozen countries expected to take part.
The 24-nation soccer tournament starts June 21 and will be played in seven cities in Turkey. FIFA President Sepp Blatter said Wednesday the tournament would go ahead as scheduled.
Blatter said FIFA was in contact with Turkish "political authorities, especially with the security." He added that "the guarantees have been given and I am sure that nothing will happen."

A father and his sons were pulled from the Pacific Ocean Saturday in a daring rescue lifeguard are calling miraculous.
A San Diego-based commercial fishing boat turned into a rescue boat after finding the three men drifting in the ocean two miles off the coast of La Jolla.
One of the victims was unconscious in the water when the crew on the fishing boat found him.
The men had been in the water for hours after their boat capsized according to RJ Hudson, captain of the charter boat New Seaforth.
"We saw a man waving his hands and he looked like he clearly needed some help," said a passenger on the charter boat.
The crew reacted quickly - calling for help and maneuvering for a rescue.
"That crew on board the New Seaforth - they did a heroic job of getting the three people on board their boat in my opinion," said Lt. John Everhart with San Diego Lifeguard Services.
But it wasn't just the crew working to save lives - it was an all hands effort.
"We pulled him on the boat pulled him out of the way a couple other people stared CPR immediately," said Steve, one of the rescuers.
Six people including three registered nurses performed CPR on the unconscious victim, taking turns to keep him alive.
Christina Barrett was one of them.
"It was pretty intense and scary," Barrett said. "He was making movements so we were just yelling at him come on keep breathing."
San Diego lifeguards arrived within 20 minutes and took over first aid as New Seaforth made it back to shore.
"They worked as hard as they could to get him back and he came back and it was good to see him spit some water out and take a breath on his own," Steve said.
Hudson said the victims were a 47-year-old man and his two sons, ages 24 and 18.

An Upper West Side nanny stabbed a 2-year-old boy and 6-year-old girl to death inside their apartment Thursday afternoon before cutting her own throat, police said.
Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said the children's mother, Marina Krim, returned to her West 75th Street home after a swimming lesson with a third child, a 3-year-old girl.
The apartment was dark when Krim and her daughter entered, and Krim went to look for her two other children, said Kelly.
"She goes downstairs to the lobby, assuming the nanny may have gone out with the children," Kelly told reporters in a briefing Thursday night. "She asks the doorman if in fact they have gone out, and he says 'No.' She goes back up, the apartment is dark, and she goes into the bathroom."
That's where she discovered her two children, Lucia and Leo, stabbed in the bathtub, Kelly said.
The nanny was on the floor of the bathroom with self-inflicted stab wounds to her throat. A kitchen knife was nearby.
Neighbors said they heard the mother's screams from her apartment as she called 911. After police arrived, a neighbor said the mother remained in the building's lobby, screaming hysterically and clutching her surviving child.
"It was over an hour, the screaming continued, she never, ever stopped screaming'" said neighbor Rima Starr. "Nightmares are made of this. Just the most horrible thing you could imagine."
The 50-year-old nanny is in custody. She was hospitalized in critical condition.
Kelly said the nanny has been in the U.S. for 10 years and worked for the family for two years; she was referred by another family. Police are not aware of a history of mental illness.
Investigators are searching her Washington Heights apartment and belongings for clues to what happened. A law enforcement official tells NBC 4 New York that the nanny has a teenage son who attends private school in the Bronx and that relatives told detectives the nanny may have been under some financial pressure recently to make his tuition payments.
But the son told detectives that he's had no other issues with his mother, who he told them was "pretty strict," the official said.
The children's father, Kevin Krim, an executive at CNBC, was out of town and was met by police at the airport. Mark Hoffman, president of CNBC, said in a statement that "there are simply no words to convey the magnitude of this tragedy."
"What we can do is come together to express our unwavering support for a friend in need," Hoffman said.
The mother's blog, called Life with the Little Krim Kids, portrays a devoted mother who adores her children, and is charmed by their daily observations and latest tricks. It is filled with family pictures and the children happily posing together.
In a February entry, Krim writes about visiting their nanny's family in the Dominican Republic. She refers to the woman as Josie; it's not clear if it's the same nanny found wounded Thursday.
"We met Josie's amazing familia!!! And the Dominican Republic is a wonderful country!!" she wrote.
Neighbors left flowers at the front door of the building on Friday and parents said they were devastated to hear about the children's deaths.
"You rely on other people to help you," said Rachel Cedar, an Upper West Side mom. "You have to believe in the best in people and you have to believe they love your children just as much as you do. It's a betrayal. It's very, very scary."

At DrapeStyle we make a LOT of custom silk drapes. Been making them for well over a decade and shipping them all over the US and Canada. Most people know that silk is a natural fabric that is woven from the raw silk produced by the Silk Worm. Most raw silk is harvested in China and then chipped to India where it is woven into Silk Fabric and shipped all over the world. India has been the predominant producer of silk fabrics for literally hundreds of years.
Our silk fabrics arrive from India on rolls that average about 40-45 yards each. They are all 54 inches wide. The first thing that we do when we are preparing to make a set of silk drapes from our fabrics is to roll the fabric out against a light. We do this to look for imperfections in the silk fabric before we make any draperies from it. As a natural silk, most people know that it is going to have natural flaws or imperfections, especially Dupioni Silk. At DrapeStyle we have set "standards" of what we allow to pass and what we reject. When we find flaws that we reject we have to cut the entire length of fabric to remove the flawed area. Silk is expensive and having to cut portions of fabric out of roll and discard them hurts our profit margins. It's not the way other Manufacturers do it but we think that it is the right thing to do.

BALTIMORE—The UMBC men's and women's track and field teams host the 2011 America East Outdoor Championships at UMBC Stadium this Saturday and Sunday, the first time since the 2007 conference meet. Tickets for each day of action are $7 for adults, $3 for youth (ages 15 and under) and $2 for students. The first 50 students each day will receive free admission.
Seniors Keith Onto (Point Pleasant, N.J./Point Pleasant Boro/St. Francis (PA)) and Dominic Devaud (Baltimore, Md./Archbishop Curley) come into the weekend with the top two scores in the decathlon this season, while sophomoreChowan Brightful (New Market, Md./Linganore) will look to break into the top three in the women's heptathlon.
Sophomore Amanda Deller (Aberdeen, Md./Aberdeen) is the top qualifier in the women's shot put and will also look to score in the discus and hammer throws, while junior Aaron Brooks (Upper Marlboro, Md./DeMatha) is seeded second in the men's discus and third in the shot put.
Freshman Mo Drammeh (Frederick, Md./Thomas Johnson) has the top mark in the men's high jump, while sophomore transfer Shioma Obemeata (New Rochelle, N.Y./Iona Preparatory/St. Francis College) is currently ranked third in the men's triple jump.
Another key event for the men will be the 110-meter high hurdles, in which sophomore Trae Proctor (Brandywine, Md./Thomas Stone) and senior Keith Brown (Columbia, Md./McDonough) come in with the second and third-fastest times this season. Brown was named the meet's Most Outstanding Rookie in 2007, when the meet was last held at UMBC Stadium.
School records could be in jeopardy on the women's side as senior Sara Parkinson (Chorley, England/Loughborough University) will look to break her own records in the 1,500- and 5,000-meter runs, while freshman Kirsten Jones (Brentwood, Tenn./M.L.K. Magnet) looks to cap an impressive debut campaign in the 200- and 400-meter dashes, events she has narrowly missed the school mark this season.
The action starts Saturday with 10,000-meter runs at 9 a.m., while Sunday begins with the conclusion of the decathlon and heptathlon at 9 a.m.

Ever since we tested the in June, we've been itching to compare it directly with Samsung's flagship 3D-compatible plasma HDTV for 2010. After finally getting the chance to review the Samsung PNC8000 series--the odds-on favorite, if there is one, to defeat the Panasonic--we can declare the verdict in this dogfight: Panasonic by a black nose.
The PNC8000 is an excellent performer, and deserves the silver medal among plasma TVs we've tested so far this year. In addition, we'd wager no other as-yet-announced TV will outperform either one in 2010. But the Samsung's crucial reproduction of black can't achieve the same inkiness as the Panasonic, so it falls short. It beats the VT25 to a greater or lesser extent in a few other areas, including overall color reproduction, bright-room performance, and video processing, but none of those margins of victory is convincing enough to close the gap. The Samsung costs less, however, and its style and feature set will certainly turn heads, although for this price we'd expect to get a pair of those 3D glasses thrown in, too. The VT25 might be the better performer, but the picture quality of the PNC8000 series will rightly claim its share of videophile devotees.
Series information: We performed a hands-on evaluation of the 50-inch Samsung PN50C8000, but this review also applies to the two larger screen sizes in the series. All sizes have identical specs and according to the manufacturer should provide very similar picture quality.
Editors' note, October 19, 2010: This review has been modified to reflect additional testing and respond to reader questions, but the numeric ratings have not been altered.

Samsung's flagship PNC8000 looks almost exactly like the company's step-down , and their understated, sophisticated looks are among our favorites. We especially like the matte finish of the gray bezel--which is quite a bit lighter than the gray of the PNC7000's bezel--and its subtle metal-like texture matches the actual brushed metal of the stand. Samsung's signature transparent stalk and frame edge heighten the appeal, and if you care, the panel is thin enough at 1.4 inches to cause guests to mistake it for an LED-based LCD.

When we reviewed Samsung's in May we complained about the chrome-and-round-edge remote. The PNC8000 plasma includes the same clicker, which reminds us of an overgrown candy-bar-style phone. It looks sexy and feels solid. Too bad it's such a pain to use.
The buttons are just poorly differentiated divisions of the flat face, and it's impossible to tell them apart by feel. We constantly had to look down (away from the TV screen) when doing anything more basic than navigating via the cursor controls. We'd trade this remote for a universal model in a second. Select Samsung phones can apparently control the TV, as can the company's own
We're fans of Samsung's menu system. The transparent, blue-highlighted graphics are easy to read and navigate, and response is snappier than last year. Text explanations are present for just about every function.

The main differences between the feature sets of Samsung's PNC8000 and PNC7000 plasmas is the former's inclusion of defeatable --the company calls it MJC for "Motion Judder Compensation," and the PNC8000 is the only current plasma we know of to include the feature, which is common to 120Hz and 240Hz LCDs--along with the ability to properly display and a darker screen filter, which improves black levels in brighter rooms. See Performance for the effects of these extras.
The otherwise loaded Samsung PN50C8000 lacks the 3D glasses included with the , but on the other hand offers a system that converts 2D content to 3D (Panasonic's VT25 does not). Samsung's starter kit, with two sets of specs and a 3D Blu-ray of "Monsters vs. Aliens," provides one option to get glasses, and numerous similar bundles are available. Finally, we'd like to see built-in Wi-Fi, but other plasmas require a dongle for wireless Internet access, too.
|Streaming media
|Amazon Video on Demand
|Vudu video
|DLNA compliant
|Other: Hulu Plus, Dailymotion
Samsung's Apps platform offers more streaming video than any other , and seems to add new content every few weeks. The last time we checked in, during the , the company had added Hulu Plus. Now there's another (free) streaming video app called "Explore 3D" that promises 3D movie trailers, video clips, and "premium videos." At press time there were only three trailers available, and no content in other categories, but we expect it to fill up soon.
In addition to Hulu Plus, which is exclusive to Samsung TVs for now (although Sony and Vizio, at least, will add the feature later in 2010), Dailymotion, Blockbuster, and CinemaNow, along with the audio subscription service Napster, are also not found on any other sets. No major video services go missing, although we'd like to see more nonsubscription audio support beyond Pandora (like Slacker radio or Last.fm). With the exception of Amazon VOD, which takes the form of a Yahoo Widget, all of the streaming services are integrated into Samsung's main Apps platform.
We didn't test Netflix, Amazon, Vudu, or YouTube this time around, mainly because the services worked well, as expected, on previous Samsungs, such as the UNC8000 and PNC7000. We did check out Hulu Plus, however, and came away with mostly positive impressions. Video quality was very good to excellent overall, depending on the source, navigation was snappy, and we liked the built-in search (aside from the tedium of entering terms using the TV's remote) and the App's general interface.
The one big problem we had with Hulu Plus, though, was lack of picture control. On other Apps, like Netflix, we were able to adjust basic picture parameters, choose from among picture modes, and disable the MJC dejudder processing. With Hulu Plus none of those options was available, and the picture looked stuck in the default Dynamic setting--otherwise known as Torch Mode, with overly bright highlights, oversaturated, inaccurate colors, and the telltale smoothing effect and artifacts of dejudder. Samsung might update the App to include some picture controls in the future, but as it stands we prefer to get Hulu Plus from an external source (like a Blu-ray player, ), where picture controls remain an option.

|Internet apps
|Yahoo Widgets
|Vudu apps
|Other: Includes ESPN Next Level, Google Maps, Samsung TV support videos, Getty images, some paid Apps, 24 Yahoo Widgets
Samsung wants you to think of its Apps platform much like a certain other Apps Store from Apple, complete with a . The TV version from Samsung is a far cry from the iPhone version today, but it does offer more options than similar services on other brands' TVs.
Since Samsung Apps debuted for TVs earlier this year, it has added Facebook, Google Maps, and videos with product support and info on Samsung products. Recent updates include sports info widget (exclusive for one year), a few paid Apps like the educational Math Series, Word Magic ($2.99 each), and Dibo's Storybook (99 cents each); personal trainer Push Up Master (99 cents); and image galleries from Multibits ($1.99 each). Check out the company's for a full list.
In addition to Apps within the main interface, there's a separate interface with 24 total add-ons available at press time. They include weather, news, sports, and the like, along with meatier widgets like Amazon Video On Demand, Drivecast, Flickr, Facebook, and, of course, "Experience Samsung." The widget experience is much, much better than in the past, owing to faster load and response times. Now the widget taskbar comes up almost immediately, and navigating between widgets and within a widget itself is a breeze.
On the other hand we'd prefer to see one integrated interface, such as the one Vizio offers, for all interactive functions. For both Facebook and Twitter, for example, the TV has both an App by Samsung and a Yahoo Widget. Both interfaces offer news, weather, and even photo services (Picasa for Apps, Flickr for widgets). With all that content, juggling two interface options can become confusing.
Both Apps and widgets have profiles and universal sign-in features, which make them easier to use. An option to input searches, passwords, and other text with something other than the unwieldy onscreen keyboard would help a lot, however.

Samsung has officially retaken the picture-settings crown from LG this year, at least on higher-end models like the PNC8000. Highlights for tweakers include a new 10-point system--it works better than what we saw on --in addition to internal test patterns and red, green, and blue color filters, all to help would-be calibrators. Samsung has also changed the name of one of its picture modes from Natural to Relax, and on the PNC8000 also includes two additional, fully adjustable modes similar to Movie, called CAL-NIGHT and CAL-DAY. They're intended for professional calibrators but happily, unless intentionally locked, they can be accessed by anyone without needing special codes.
The PNC8000's extra video-processing features noted above manifest in a pair of dejudder presets, titled Standard and Smooth, which join our favorite such setting (Off) in the Motion Judder Canceller menu. The Film Mode menu hides the Cinema Smooth setting reserved for 1080p/24 content, although in our testing this mode caused an undesirable loss in black level performance. We really appreciate that, after first selection, it engages automatically when it detects such content.
Samsung offers a smattering of settings for both native 3D content and 2D-to-3D conversion. With the former you can fool around with "3D viewpoint," said to adjust perspective, whereas the latter provides a "depth" setting that gives a similar adjustment option. On the other hand the C7000 lacks the 3D Optimize option found on the UNC8000 LCD. It's also worth noting that engaging 3D changes to a separate set of picture settings, and removes some of the options available in 2D mode (like Eco settings, aspect ratio adjustments, and more).

|Power-saver mode
|Ambient light sensor

|Other: Basic onscreen HD connection guide; onscreen troubleshooting; sound-only option; three modes to prevent/remove burn-in
Not much goes missing here. If you're worried about , Samsung includes a pixel orbiter that slowly moves the image around the screen, as well as a scrolling bar to erase signs of image retention should it occur. Unfortunately the screen saver, labeled "auto protection," didn't seem to work at all when we left an image paused for extended periods, so you shouldn't depend on it.

One of the big unresolved issues of the fiscal cliff is the sequester, or the massive spending programs that were supposed to expire automatically at the end of the 2012.
America's defense contractors are expected to get hit the worst by sequestration. And the indirect impacts are expected to ripple unfavorably through much of the economy.
But in a note to clients today, Deutsche Bank's David Bianco writes that "some sequestration is good for stocks."
From his note:
We expect S&P to continue to rally during 4Q reporting. After that investors will turn their attention to the US debt ceiling and sequestration. We believe debt ceiling will be raised. As we argue in our note, contrary to most views, we believe significant sequestration is good for stocks and see the main threat to the rally as being the failure to put through any spending cuts in 2013.
Basically, Bianco thinks that the right kind of cuts would be favorable to U.S. debt metrics and in turn instill some confidence. Here's more on Bianco's thoughts from a note he published on Thursday
Fine-tuning sequestration is the best case scenario: Likely S&P 500 target 1600
We see the upcoming deadlines as an opportunity to improve the deficit. Slowing longer-term spending is key to stabilizing debt/GDP, but material 2013 cuts are needed for credibility. Thus, we think the best negotiated outcome trims the $70b sequestration for 2013 to ~$50b but maintains $1.2t in cuts over 9 years. Adding timing flexibility and opening more of the budget to cuts would cushion GDP impact, but cuts to entitlements and defense must occur under any credible plan. Thus, we favor modified sequestration.
Sequestration without modification: Likely S&P 500 target 1575
At this time, unmodified sequestration appears to be a very possible outcome. However, near-term support should still be strong at 1400 for the S&P in this scenario and we reiterate our 1575 year-end target. This outcome would pressure defense and many health care stocks; however, we think this risk is largely priced into those industries and the broader market would rally on a healthier fiscal outlook. GDP must demonstrate its ability to absorb the shock and still expand in 2013, but we think this is likely and 1575 should be reached by year-end likely with a late 2H rally after a range-bound summer.
Here's a breakdown of sequestration from Bianco's note:

Yuna Kim Fans 'Seung-Nyang-E United' donates 11,265,781 won to Babo Nanum Foundation on Yuna's 25th BirthdayNewswire | 2014.9.5(Seoul=Newswire) A fan club is brought to attention thanks to their acts of charity that has been ongoing for the past six years. The star of this fan club is Yuna Kim, who is already well known for her own philanthropic acts, and the fans call themselves 'Seung-Nyang-E's.On September 5th, Yuna Kim's 25th birthday, fans from four different fan pages (DAUM Yuna Café, DC Yuna Gallery, DC Figure Skating Gallery, and Feverskating) donated a total of 11,265,781 won (10,996 USD) to Babo Nanum Foundation under the name of 'Yuna Kim fans - Seung-Nyang-E United.'Yuna Kim, who appeared on the Forbes' list of Asia Philanthropists 2014, is said to have donated 2.5 billion won (approx. 2.4 million USD) since 2007. Yuna's active involvement in philanthropic acts has driven her fans to support good causes as well. It started when her fans collected and sent funds to UNICEF as a gift for Yuna's 20th birthday in 2010, prompted by her tweet asking for help in aiding the flood-affected children of Pakistan. Since then, Yuna Kim's fans have expressed their love and support for her whenever a special occasion arises, including birthdays, various anniversaries, and award acceptances. Whenever Yuna shows an act of kindness by giving to the less fortunate or takes part in restoration efforts following natural disasters, fans have followed Yuna in her footsteps.A staff member from DAUM Yuna Café, Skurin, said, "So far we've mainly focused on helping children abroad, but this time fans have decided to donate to an organization that supports the needy in Korea, who are many. Since Yuna Kim is the honorary ambassador for Babo Nanum Foundation, we have chosen to donate here."Babo Nanum announced that the donated money will be used according to fans' wish, to support marginalized people in Korea.Babo Nanum Foundation was launched as a nationwide fund-raising and distribution organization in February 2010 for the purpose of promoting the sharing spirit of the late Stephen Cardinal Kim Sou-hwan. It was designated as a tax-exempt charitable organization in July 2011 and has been carrying out its works in a transparent manner. Yuna Kim has been its honorary ambassador since April 2010.Thank you note posted on the facebook page of Babo nanum foundation"Love, love, and then love some more."-Stephen Cardinal Kim Sou-hwan-Love does not care for time or season.Love goes along, simply by being there and sharing everything.An invaluable moment it is,the one Babo Nanum shares with its honorary ambassador Yuna Kim on her 25th birthday.Through this act of love, fans of Yuna have become friends with those in need.We express our deepest gratitude to Yuna Kim, our honorary ambassadoras well as to her fans 'Seung-Nyung-E United' with boundless love and blessing.Babo Nanum Foundation September 5th, 2014: Share of love from Yuna Kim fans 'Seung-Nyang-E United' on Yuna's birthday■ The Original ⓒ [Newswire] http://bit.ly/1uyZ9F5 Through Babo Nanum Foundation http://www.babo.or.kr , https://www.facebook.com/thebabonanum#!/thebabonanum■ Translation ⓒ alouette* , Kindred / FEVERSKATING

Reigning US Open champs Andy Murray and Serena Williams stepped up their bids for another title, while China's Li Na halted the giant-killing run of a Spanish teen to advance at the Miami Masters on Monday.
Second seed Murray blasted nine aces en route to a 7-6 (7/3), 6-3 victory over disgruntled Grigor Dimitrov to reach the fourth round of the hardcourt tournament.
Murray, who won this event four years ago, needed 1 hour, 54 minutes to oust the 29th-seeded Bulgarian Dimitrov.
Murray said he started slowly, but soon figured out how to cause problems for his opponent.
"I was leaving the ball a bit short. Once I started to improve my depth a bit, I made it tough for him and he started to make other mistakes after that," Murray said.
Dimitrov, last year's runner-up to Novak Djokovic, would have faced a tougher task had not the 21-year-old lost his composure when serving for the first set at 5-3.
Dimitrov double-faulted three times to allow Murray to break back and the Scot duly prevailed in the tie-break.
It is the second time in as many tournaments that Dimitrov has cracked when serving for a set against a top-ranked player, serving up four double faults when he led world No. 1 Djokovic 5-3 in the third round at Indian Wells.
"He probably got a little bit nervous, and that helped me," Murray said.
Murray, who committed 22 unforced errors to Dimitrov's 38, will face Italian Andrea Seppi in the fourth round, the 16th seed having beaten experienced Brazilian Thomaz Bellucci 7-5, 4-6, 6-2.
Meanwhile, French eighth seed Richard Gasquet rolled over 28th-seeded Russian Mikhail Youzhny 6-3, 6-4 and 10th-seeded Spaniard Nicolas Almagro beat Belgian David Goffin 6-3, 6-4. Gasquet faces Almagro in the fourth round.
Sixth seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, of France, cruised past Finland's Jarkko Nieminen 6-3, 6-3, as Canada's Milos Raonic withdrew from the tournament with strep throat just moments before his match against Sam Querrey.
In the women's draw, China's Li set up a quarter-final against world No. 1 Williams with an error-strewn 7-6 (8/6), 6-2 win over teen Garbine Muguruza.
The 31-year-old Li is playing in her first tournament since suffering an ankle injury in January's Australian Open final.
Williams also struggled, having to come from a set down to win 2-6, 6-4, 6-2 against Slovakian 13th seed Dominika Cibulkova.
Williams, who is bidding for a record sixth Miami title, said she had not been at her best and at 4-1 down to Cibulkova in the second set and staring defeat in the face, she had to pull herself together.
"I was struggling mentally, I was making so many errors," said Williams, who regained the No. 1 spot in Doha last month, but has not played since.
"I could not pull myself together. Someone [a fan] kept telling me to relax and I listened to him," she said.
Li — the 2011 French Open champion and two-time Australian Open finalist — made 39 unforced errors, including four double faults, and allowed her 19-year-old opponent to battle back to 5-5 in the first set, having led 5-1.
Even at 6-1 in the tiebreaker, Li faltered as Muguruza fought back to 6-6.
Li pulled herself together to take the next two points and the set, before wrapping up victory in the second set.
In the night match, third seed Maria Sharapova routed Czech Klara Zakopalova in straight sets 6-2, 6-2.

One interesting service that I learned about today was a site search service called Collarity. They offer a site based search service that can display community-clustered search results based on previous users actions. The service can also deliver optimized ads with the search results allowing publishers another way to monetize content.
An example of an implementation can be found at the My Fox LA site. I think there are multiple stories to tell about this service, both from a user perspective and the site monetization angle. The results are different enough that I think it may take users some getting used to, but it certainly invokes interest as an alternative to the ineffective site search that exists on most web sites.

Jazz outlast Nowitzki, Mavericks 123-121 in 3OT
SALT LAKE CITY – Al Jefferson hasn't been close to the playoffs since his rookie season.
Seven years later, the Utah Jazz big man is doing everything he can to make sure he's not on the outside looking in again.
Jefferson scored 28 points and tied a career-high with 26 rebounds to fuel Monday night's 123-121 triple-overtime victory over the Dallas Mavericks.
"Right now we just got to win every game, no excuse," said Jefferson, who had 10 points in the extra periods. "This is a big test for us. We just got to see where our heart is and I know everybody in the locker room wants to make the playoffs. So we are going to fight and we are going to fight 'til the end. That's all we can do."
Dallas was coming off an overtime loss Sunday to the Los Angeles Lakers, and Monday's felt just as bad. It was the Mavs' first triple-OT game since Dec. 29, 1989, against Portland, which they also lost.
"It's a disappointing loss," said the Mavs' Rick Carlisle, coaching his 800th career game. "We have to get ready for the next one. There's not a lot of time to belly ache. It was a phenomenal game, the competition was great but we came up short."
Monday's win halted Utah's seven-game losing streak against the Mavericks, but more importantly kept the Jazz in the postseason race.
Utah began the day 10th in the Western Conference but pulled one-half game behind Phoenix and Houston for the eighth and final spot with four games remaining.
The Jazz (32-30) hold the tiebreaker with the Rockets but not with the Suns, who they face again next week.
The loss dropped defending champion Dallas to seventh in the West, one-half game behind Denver.
Dirk Nowitzki scored 40 points against Utah for the second straight time. His 3-pointer forced the second overtime, but he couldn't convert late in the third extra period.
The Jazz forced overtime on Paul Millsap's put-back dunk with 2.2 seconds remaining in regulation.
"The good thing about the overtimes is we knew they were going to kind of run out of gas," Jefferson said. "They are an older team, they played yesterday. So we knew the shots were going to start falling a little short. I am surprised they lasted as long as they did."
The Jazz led by as many as 11 points early, and were up 87-83 with 46 seconds left in regulation before Vince Carter hit back-to-back 3s, including the second with 8.5 seconds left in regulation.
On Utah's final possession in regulation, Gordon Hayward drove the lane but missed, only to have Millsap fly in for thunderous put-back dunk.
Nowitzki's long 3 to win it at the buzzer in regulation came up short.
Utah led by four in the first overtime, only to see Nowitzki force the second extra period with a 3 with 3.9 seconds left.
Jefferson hit a jumper in the third overtime then blocked Ian Mahinmi's shot, setting up Millsap for a fast-break score and 115-113 lead.
Devin Harris hit a 3 and Jefferson's 6-foot running jumper after Nowitzki's missed 3 gave Utah a 120-115 lead with 1:08 remaining.
Delonte West sank a 3 with 56 seconds left to get Dallas back within two points.
Millsap made 1 of 2 free throws with 14.9 seconds left and Utah led 121-118.
Jason Terry and Nowitzki both missed 3s in the final 10 seconds. Terry finished with 27 points and four 3s.
Harris' free throws provided Utah's final points, before West hit a 3 that was too little too late.
"Big plays and big shots on both ends of the floor, the crowd was into it, so you couldn't ask for a better game," said Nowitzki, who added nine rebounds and six assists. "We had our chances. If we get one rebound at the end of regulation the game is over."
DeMarre Carroll instead would come up with two huge rebounds for the Jazz late in the third overtime.
Carroll was playing just two days after having a front tooth dislodged and suffering a mild concussion in a loss at Memphis.
He was cleared to play Monday morning, and finished with 15 points, four rebounds, six assists and a steal for the Jazz.
Hayward added 24 points for Utah and Harris had 23, with five 3s.
Like the last game played in Utah between the teams, this one got chippy, with the Mavericks whistled for three individual technical fouls.
West drew chants of "Throw Him Out" after he was called for a technical in the second quarter after fouling Hayward away from the ball then poking his index finger in the back of Hayward's head a few seconds later.
Nothing was more physical than the matchup between Nowitzki and Millsap, who bumped and battled the entire night.
"He's a tough player," said Nowitzki, who started 3 of 3 but found early foul trouble. "I always liked him. He can make plays off the dribble and can post up. He's an active defender. We always have good matchups. Just their whole team competes. I don't care who they throw out there."
Millsap finished with 16 points, nine rebounds and two blocks.
No matter how tight the Western Conference race, the Jazz know how hungry Jefferson is.
"He was huge," Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin said. "I mean 26 rebounds, the timely shots on the perimeter. They were double-teaming him as soon as he got it, had bodies on him all night to try to get him off the block. But he hung in there."
NOTES: Mavericks PG Jason Kidd was making his 1,300th career start, and his 498th with Dallas. ... Terry tied the Clippers' Chauncey Billups for fourth place on the NBA's career 3-pointers list at 1,783. ... Jazz SF Josh Howard (knee surgery) and SG Raja Bell (knee) both worked out for about 15 minutes on the court during Monday's morning shootaround. ... Jazz backup PG Earl Watson will undergo surgery Tuesday in New York to repair torn cartilage in his right knee. ... NBA D-League call-up Blake Ahearn scored his first Jazz points on a 3-pointer with 11:43 left in the second quarter.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – MIT scored a touchdown in every quarter while its defense came up with four turnovers as the Engineers picked up a 28-7 victory over Plymouth State in a New England Football Conference Boyd Division game. It was the second straight win for the Engineers, who improved to 3-2 overall and 2-1 in the Boyd Division in their first ever win against the Panthers. Plymouth State fell to 2-4 and 1-2 in the NEFC with the loss.
Sophomore Brad Goldsberry (Elizabeth, Colo.), who finished with a team-high 121 yards rushing, put MIT up early in the game when he capped off the first Engineer drive of the game with a nine-yard run. His scamper completed the 11-play, 86-yard drive and gave MIT a 7-0 lead with 7:07 left in the quarter.
Thanks to a stout MIT defense that limited Plymouth State to just 91 first half yards, the Engineers never trailed in the contest. Panther quarterback Jake Tyler was intercepted twice in the second quarter to stop drives, one by sophomore Cameron Wagar (West Richland, Wash.) and the other by junior Matt Merlino (Vancouver, Wash.). It was the third interception of the year for both.
A 20-yard punt return late in the second quarter by junior Rhys Borchert (Pocatello, Idaho) set up the next MIT scoring drive, putting the Engineers on their own 45-yard line. Seven plays later MIT was in the end zone when sophomore Justin Wallace (Palatine, Ill.) took it in from eight yards out with just 50 seconds left before the half.
After stopping MIT on a three and out on the first drive of the second half, the Plymouth State offense came to life on its first drive. Starting from near midfield, the Panthers put together a 10-play, 47-yard scoring drive. Behind the strong running of Andrew Foglia, who ran five times for 29 yards on the drive, the Panthers cut the MIT lead in half when Foglia took it in from four yards out with 6:50 left in the third quarter.
MIT responded with big plays on its ensuing drive, starting with a 17-yard run by Goldsberry. Sophomore Pete Williams (Portland, Ore.) completed passes of 20 yards to freshman Karson Ota (Katy, Texas) and 22 yards to freshman Nathan Varady (Fayetteville, Ark.) on the drive that resulted in a three-yard plunge by Wallace that pushed the MIT lead back to 14 at 21-7 at the 4:02 mark.
A fumble by Williams late in the third was recovered by Plymouth State's Josh Morgan at the MIT 33, but the Panthers returned the favor six plays later when Tyler could not handle a bad snap and Wagar fell on the loose ball for the Engineers. Midway through the fourth quarter the MIT defense came up with another turnover and this time the Engineers cashed in after Borchert picked off a pass from Paul Norton and returned it seven yards to the MIT 41. A 22-yard screen from Williams to Wallace on a 3rd and 19 kept the drive alive and Wallace finished it off with a 19-yard run that put the game away.
MIT finished with 415 yards of offense, with Plymouth State putting up 237. In addition to his rushing totals, Goldsberry accounted for 196 all-purpose yards by adding 31 yards in receptions and 44 more in kick returns. Wallace finished with 96 yards on the ground and three scores, while Williams completed 13 of 20 attempts for 162 yards. Ota led the MIT receivers with 61 yards on six catches. Junior Jake Laux (Dousman, Wis.) led the Engineers with 14 tackles.
For Plymouth State it was Foglia that led the attack, picking up 82 yards on 15 carries. Tyler completed eight of his 12 attempts for 81 yards, with Zac Iovanella catching six of those passes for 57 yards. Morgan led the Panther defense with 12 stops and the fumble recovery.
MIT will play at Western New England next Saturday in its next contest, kicking off that game at 1:00 p.m. Next week Plymouth State will return home for its game, hosting Endicott at 2:00 p.m.

Dooley and Sons is quite possibly the baddest hot rod shop you've never heard of. This '61 Bel Air is about to change all that.
Cracking this man is a job for a CIA interrogator, because anything short of waterboarding or tooth extraction is unlikely to get Jeff Cameron to talk. It's not that he's involved in some sort of despicable espionage or covert acts of treason. To the contrary, he's just a humble man who doesn't like tooting his own horn. That explains the shocking disconnect between the caliber of muscle cars and street rods his shop has rolled out over the last 50 years, and the peculiar lack of national spotlight that's been directed its way. The stunning craftsmanship and creativity infused into each of Jeff's projects can go toe-to-toe with the likes of the Ringbrothers and Roadster Shops of the world. Backing up that bold claim is Jeff's personal ride, a '61 bubbletop Bel Air packing a stroked W-series big-block, an overdrive trans, giant brakes, and a RideTech air suspension. To put it simply, Dooley and Sons Rods and Customs (www.dooleyandsons.com) is the most badass hot rod shop you've never heard of. Despite Jeff's aversion to attention, that's all about to change, because a shop this good is simply impossible to ignore.
The nondescript berg of Magnolia, Texas, is an unlikely setting for a hot rod shop. Many of the town's 1,100 residents have probably driven by Dooley's everyday and never noticed that it's even there. Tucked behind the cover of towering pine trees and vicious airborne insects is a gleaming 20,000-square-foot facility that boasts a chassis, body, and upholstery shop all under one big roof. The showroom is packed with an eclectic mix of street rods and muscle machines, ranging from Pro Touring Corvettes and Tri-Five Chevys to Hemi-powered Willys and vintage gassers. "My dad Dooley started a custom upholstery business right out of high school in 1961. He was the typical '60s hot rodder who had to learn how to do everything himself," Jeff says. "He passed on his knowledge and work ethic to me and my brother, Tom, and while I learned how to do upholstery work, my true passion was paint and bodywork. We expanded into building hot rods and doing collision repair work in 1985, and by 2001, we got rid of the collision shop to focus on hot rods full time. We do everything in-house—including paint and body, custom interiors, chassis fabrication, and electrical work—which allows us to maintain an extremely high level of quality control. As we started doing more Pro Touring builds, we felt the need to invest more R&D into chassis development. Now we make complete replacement frames and state-of-the-art suspension components for Chevelles, Tri-Fives, and first-gen Camaros."
Compared to the wild creations Dooley and Sons typically builds, Jeff took a much more modest approach when building his bubbletop. While he sought to upgrade the suspension and brakes for enhanced driveability, he still wanted to keep the car somewhat original. While most hot rodders come up with cockamamy excuses as to why they have to build a certain car, Jeff's inspiration was genuinely profound. His grandfather purchased a 348-powered '61 Bel Air brand new in 1961, which was the same year Jeff's dad started the family business. Jeff grew up with fond memories of that car, but that's just part of the story. "My daughter, Meg, was born four months premature in 2005, and her twin brother, Jake, died 16 days after birth. Things like that can either make you or break you, but fortunately for us, it's made us stronger," Jeff says. "I wanted to build a car that was for Meg, that was also built in Jake's memory. The number of surgeries and challenges Meg has had to go through is too much for one person, yet she comes through every time and is still so happy. It kills me every day that her twin brother isn't here with us today, but with everything we've been through, I wanted to build a car that was all about her. The '61 Bel Air has plenty of room in the back for Meg's wheelchair, and it's something cool and different that you don't see every day."
While his grandpa's Bel Air was long gone, Jeff found a perfect restoration candidate sitting in a West Texas field. "The owner bought the car in the early '90s, but never got around to restoring it. He included a 409 big-block out of a '62 Impala that was sitting in a dirt floor barn that was about to fall over," he says. Once back at the shop, Jeff's brother, Tom, replaced the car's quarter-panels, trunk lid, and rockers, which wrapped up the bulk of the sheetmetal work. Jeff then rolled it into the paint booth and sprayed it in PPG Jet Black.
A drag racer at heart, Jeff regularly runs his 8-second Ford Anglia Super Gasser down track. Although he briefly considered ditching the 409 for something more modern, he decided to keep it for nostalgia's sake. "The more I thought about building a W-series motor, the more I liked it. I was a big-time drag racing fan growing up in the '60s and '70s, and I vividly remembered Lamar Walden racing with 409s in Super Stock." Fortunately, the recent development of aftermarket parts for the W-series big-block Chevy means that it needn't sacrifice tons of power to its Mark IV successor anymore. To put the old-school lump together, Jeff enlisted the services of the man himself, Lamar Walden. Taking advantage of the similarities in architecture between the first- and second-generation of Chevy big-blocks, Walden turned the main journals of a stock 454 crank down from 2.750 to 2.500 inches and installed it in the 409 block. This effectively increased the stroke from 3.500 to 4.000 inches. Matched with stock 454 rods and an enlarged 4.375-inch bore, the cubic inch total jumped to 482. To feed all the hungry cubes, the 482 was topped with aluminum heads and a dual-quad intake manifold, both from Edelbrock. With a COMP 254/254-at-.050 hydraulic roller actuating the valves, the combo kicks out an impressive 552 hp.
With the power now cranked way up, Jeff turned his attention to the chassis. To ensure that the Bel Air would be able to turn and stop as well as it could lay patch, Jeff ordered up boxes of goodies from RideTech and Classic Performance Parts. Rounding out the underpinnings are RideTech control arms, sway bars, air springs, and shocks in the front and rear. CPP disc brakes at each corner provide the whoa, while Intro wheels wrapped in Nitto tires stick it all to the pavement. With the airbags deflated and the wheels tucked tightly into the fenders and quarters, the look is downright sinister. If there's only one good reason to expand your horizons beyond the '64-72 norm, this is it.
When it comes down to it, cars are merely machines, and rarely does one car represent so much, but that's precisely what we have with Jeff Cameron's Bel Air. It's a tribute to Dooley and Sons' 50th anniversary and grandpa Cameron's original Bel Air—but most importantly—it symbolizes how the Cameron family has managed to transcend every obstacle thrown in their path to peace and happiness. The fact that their story unfolded the way it did is just a reflection of their humble and laid-back approach to life and to building cars. "There are people who do lots of talking without the results to show for it. My grandpa always said what you can do with your hands speaks louder than words," Jeff says. "That's the way the Cameron family has always been. We can hold our own with most of the big-name shops out there. We're just not going to brag about it." That's OK, because once the word gets out about Dooley and Sons Rods and Customs, everyone else is going to do the talking for them.

LONDON/FRANKFURT (Reuters) - William Broeksmit, a former senior manager at Deutsche Bank with close ties to co-Chief Executive Anshu Jain, has been found dead at his home in London in what appears to have been a suicide.
Jain and the bank's other co-CEO Juergen Fitschen announced Broeksmit's death in an internal mail to Deutsche Bank employees.
When asked about the death, London's Metropolitan Police issued a statement saying a 58-year-old man had been found hanging at a house in South Kensington on Sunday afternoon and been pronounced dead at the scene. Police declared the death non-suspicious.
Broeksmit, a U.S. national, was an instrumental founder of Deutsche's investment bank and one many bankers, including Jain, who joined Germany's flagship lender from Merrill Lynch in the 1990s, when Deutsche launched plans to compete on Wall Street.
Broeksmit was also a principal actor in Deutsche's efforts to unwind its riskier positions and to reduce the size of its balance sheet in the wake of the global financial crisis.
His death comes at an uncomfortable juncture for Jain and Fitschen, whose reign has been dogged by poor results and legal troubles since they took over from Josef Ackermann in 2012.
"He was a dear friend and colleague to many of us who benefitted from his intellect and wisdom," Jain and Fitschen said in the internal email on Broeksmit, a copy of which was obtained by Reuters. A spokesman for the bank declined to comment.
The two CEOs are expected to defend their reform record at the bank's annual news conference on Wednesday. Last week, they revealed that litigation and restructuring costs had pushed Deutsche to a surprise loss in the fourth quarter of 2013.
Broeksmit, who worked as head of risk and capital optimisation, was viewed as one of Jain's closest allies and a key player in the bank's attempts to recover following the financial crisis.
Jain sought to have Broeksmit join the management board as head of risk management in 2012. But in a major setback for both men, German regulator Bafin blocked the appointment, saying Broeksmit lacked experience leading large teams.
Bafin was not immediately available for comment. The Bundesbank, which also oversees Deutsche, declined to comment.
Broeksmit worked alongside Jain at Merrill Lynch before joining Deutsche in 1996 as part of group of roughly 100 bankers who, alongside Edson Mitchell, formed the core of Deutsche's new investment banking business.
Mitchell, one the bank's most powerful executives, died in a plane crash in 2000.
Broeksmit left Deutsche in 2001 but rejoined in 2008 as Deutsche and other investment banks struggled during the financial crisis. He filled senior roles and reported to Colin Fan, head of markets and co-head of corporate banking and securities. Broeksmit retired from Deutsche in February 2013.
"He was considered by many of his peers to be among the finest minds in the fields of risk and capital management," the internal email said.
After handing over the reins to Jain and Fitschen in 2012, Ackermann became chairman of Zurich Insurance. But he resigned last year when the Swiss insurer's finance chief Pierre Wauthier killed himself and blamed Ackermann in a suicide note.
