I tried a CAB for HTC wifirouter and when I ran it after the install, it freezes up saying "there is no available Internet connection, do you want to setup the Internet connection" There are Yes and No buttons, but I cannot choose them.
Is there a version of the HTC wifirouter CAB that actually works on the Dash 3g (WM 6.5) without having to cook (replace) the entire ROM?
T-Mo Dash 3g runs Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.x Standard, aka SmartPhone edition. HTC WiFi Router will not work on this platform as it was written for Microsoft Windows Mobile PPC Edition.

Workcamp Details
Reforestation in the North-East - Vopnafjörður
Description: SEEDS volunteers will be working on a project in the beautiful area of Vopnafjörður located in Northeast Iceland. We will be working together with the local municipality of Vopnafjarðarhreppur. The main tasks participants will be performing will be helping the locals in their reforestation efforts and possibly participate in maintenance of the walking paths in the existing forested areas. The working day normally runs from 09:00 - 17:00 with breaks for lunch and coffee. No previous experience is necessary but the work is demanding and might require a good physical condition; it can at times be repetitive but always rewarding.
Type of Work: As it is outdoors work, volunteers shall be ready to adapt and be flexible with the working and free-time schedule, as depending on the weather, we may not be able to perform some of the tasks or activities planned. The working plan will depend on the needs of our local host, the advance of the diverse projects in the area and of course on the weather conditions. Volunteers need to be motivated to work outdoors on physical jobs and under changeable weather. Bring warm winter clothes, under-layers, waterproofs, walking shoes/boots, a good sleeping bag, hat, scarves and gloves.
Study Theme: The camp happens around the summer solstice, when the sun hardly sets and the nights are almost as bright as the days. The bright nights are magical and staying awake enjoying the beautiful surroundings is a unique experience. During the time of the camp participants will have the opportunity to experience the midnight sun as there are 24 hours of light even if the sun sets for shorts periods of time. Last but not least volunteers can explore the surroundings and enjoy free time activities arranged in cooperation with the our local project host.
Accommodation: SEEDS volunteers will sleep in beds in a lodging house belonging a local company supporting the municipality and the reforestation project. The house is fully equipped with a kitchen and a bathroom with a shower. Please bring your own sleeping bag.
Participants will receive food supplies and be in charge of the cooking and cleaning activities. Do not forget some traditional/typical food, drinks, music and recipes from your home country for the international evening.
Language: English will be the language in the camp; basic conversational skills are needed.
Approximate Location: Vopnafjörður is situated in the far North-east of Iceland, the area's coastline is characterized by the Tangi peninsula, coastal rocks, islets, coves, river mouths, and black sand beaches. Vopnafjordur is one of the first areas people settled in Iceland. It is known for its salmon rivers and large areas of untouched landscape. The village of Vopnafjörður is located on the Tangi peninsula in the middle of the bay. About 700 people live in Vopnafjordur. The main industries include fishing and fish processing, the service sector, and agriculture.
Notes: This work camp takes place in a very remote place, located in a natural area of extreme beauty. Outdoor free time activities, for instance hikes or walks in the surroundings, will be arranged for SEEDS volunteers. Volunteers shall be prepared for working and walking in one of the most isolated areas in Iceland. Be prepared to experience all kinds of weather and bring warm winter clothes as the tasks take place outside and it can get cold. Bring warm under-layers, waterproofs, walking shoes/boots, a good sleeping bag, hat, scarves and gloves.

The Triple H appreciation thread...The Diamond that can't be tarnished
Well it has been 8 months and Triple H is still the Top guy on Raw, he's beaten everyone put in front of him, he's ran Raw with a Iron fist, and brought longevity back to the WWE. He's by far the Best holder of the World Title since Ric Flair (When i say World i'm talking about the WCW belt on Raw)...He's made that championship more important then it ever was in WCW, he's by far THE MAN to beat on Raw, and will be for a verrrrrrrrrrrrry long time...He's also the best amd most shrewd business man, a wrestling company ever had to deal with. He's about to ve married in to a Billion dollar family, he's has a Hot Wife, and when he retires, he'll be running WWE...So ladies and gentleman long live The man who gave meaning to the World Title again, The man who's beaten them all, The man who did a wrestling a favor, and gave Mick Foley a Farewell beating...The definition of Evolution, The Mother fucking Legend before his time, The Mother Fucking Game....Hunter Hearse Mcmahon...
The Triple H Hitlist
Scott Steiner
Booker T
Kevin Nash
Ric Flair
Mick Foley
Steve Austin
*Insert Goldberg name here*...Yep
s: If Triple H didn't beat the hell out of Kane, Kane will still be a masked Big Red Retard, losing mid card matches by roll up, to jobbers like La Resistance...But Triple H beat him, he took off the mask turned into a Awsome Heel, now he's the biggest Draw in the company...So in retrospect Hunter is the reason Raw is getting Ratings again, and Kane career has Sky rocketed...Triple H is a genius

LMFAO....That Kane bit was the funniest shit I've heard all night...Don't let HHH get ahold of your comment...He might believe it....Everything you've said is true...But I think, down the line...When everything is said and done...He will still be looked upon as a mediocre champion...Should he be...Maybe not...But I think that is what will transpire...He's not Bret, the fighting champion...He's not HBK, the charismatic champion...He's not Flair, a champ who can wrestle the pants off of most guys night and and night out.....HHH is just a champion...Good or bad...You decide....

^^^^He's not a fighter like Bret Hart, He's not a charismatic champion like Hbk, he's not the technical genius Flair was...But he's made his own style, he's the Smartest World Champion ever, he knows how to play the Game...Why? because he is THE GAME. A sure shot WWE hall of famer

True....I'll give you that....HHH has positioned his way to the top like no other...The way he's done it though I think leaves a sour taste in people's mouth...Does he get a bad rap...Yes...Hogan did the same thing in the 80's...But Hogan wasn't bangin' a 4 year-old Steph...Or god at least I hope not...But I think in the end...People won't remember what went on backstage...They will only remember the matches...The legacy...And in that case....I believe HHH lacks that quality...But what he has done so far...Pure genious...

Truth you had something in your sig a while back about how all the big wigs were out on injury but hhh was still there so he was given the ball and carried it straight into the endzone he held the company for a long time on his own as much as I am tired of hhh you still have to give him props for that and that alone

Triple H is not a big draw, the "people" dont care about Hunter, he has done absolutly nothing for the ratings and the PPV buy-rates during this 8 month title reign, I will never put Hunter in the same league as the Rock, Austin and Hogan. Hunter is overated, he's an average in ring performer at best, he lacks charisma and personality, he get's close to no crowd reaction, he holds the belt for practically one full year and then refuses to drop it the way it should be done. Simply put Hunter is a boaring champion and Evolution suck's, the only thing good about that stable is thier "paid laid and made" t-shirt

^^^^LMAO...But he's still the World Champion. At the end of the day wrestling is a business, and Hunter is the best busoiness man in the history of WWE. He was a big draw, until he tore his quad. He's not a big of a draw now, but neither is Goldberg or Austin. Kane is the biggest Draw in the company, and it's all because of THE GAME.....

I dont agree with you're "Triple H made Kane a monstor" theory, the writers made Kane a monstor, this is what you call a "15 minute gimmick push" in a couple month's the Big Red Retard will be midcarding again and I cant believe you think Hunter is the best champ of all time.

^^^^^^^^Not of All time (Flair owns that accolade), but of the last year...And i'm talking about the Raw brand. Brock was the best champ in the whole Company. Kane is not a 15 minute gimmick, he's bringing in serious ratings...In this business thats all that counts.
And the whole Triple H made Kane bit is just a joke...Well, not totaly, he started his gimmick after getting beat by THE GAME...Got to give him some credit for that...lol

I'm on agreement with Truth because just like him I'm also a huge Triple H mark but I am sick of him with the belt and I'm hoping he loses it at Summerslam.
But yeah I'm a Triple H mark and proud of it

Give it To Me..
Damn right Jason..all the HHH marks(I'm one) should come out and just say it..half the people who say he sucks don't really think so..When Kurt Angle's not a heel HHH is the best heel in the biz..Granted,He's not the best preformer in the WWE..But i'd damn sure watch him rather than see RVD with his stupid ass flippy kicks..and he can still come up big in the big matches..His preformaces aren't what they used to be,mainly because of his quad injury..and the fact that he dosen't want to have to go all out unless he has too...HHH carried the ball when the WWE needed a major heel..We should all give him props for that..and if you want to talk about ratings..The ratings stay basically the same through the first 1 hour 50 minutes..but when Kane does his overrun the ratings skyrocket..So you see niether Goldberg nor HHH are briging in the ratings..it's kane..and the reason why is that's being pushed as the main thing on raw..I'm willing to bet that if the HHH/Goldberg feud was pushed more..it'd bring in better ratings...aimple fact of the matter is,,HHH has been a good champ who dosen't deserve to be hated on as much as he is..

Nah, HHH is a roided out wash up who can barely work a decent match who's body is so rotted out and his muscles so brittle that he's likely to get a hernia the next time he has to take a shit. He's made everyone look week or foolish that he's gone up against, he's held ppl down so he can put on the HHH show every monday night, his ego rivals Hogan's, the man is a pain in the ass, and I could go for 8 months without him.

AmericasMart, the 7.1-million-square-foot heart of Atlanta's hospitality industry and first project developed by renowned architect John Portman, is being sold.
AmericasMart said Tuesday it will be acquired by International Market Centers, which operates showrooms in High Point, N.C., and Las Vegas. The combined company will have 20 million square feet of showroom space spread between marts in Atlanta, Las Vegas, and High Point. Acquiring AmericasMart also allows IMC to expand deeper into gift and apparel businesses.
The deal comes four and a half months after Portman died. Portman's son, Jeff Portman, now chairman and CEO of AMC, the parent company for AmericasMart, will serve as an advisor to the International Market Centers board.
He said AmericasMart has long served as the crossroads of commerce in downtown Atlanta, but combining with IMC brings powerful talent and financial resources together.
International Market Centers is backed by affiliates of The Blackstone Group L.P. (NYSE: BX). Blackstone acquired IMC last year.

30 The angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31 And now, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you will name him Jesus. 32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his ancestor David. 33 He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end." 34 Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I am a virgin?"[a] 35 The angel said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born[b] will be holy; he will be called Son of God. 36 And now, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month for her who was said to be barren.

Add some classical refinement to your landscape or formal garden area. A custom carved granite fountain (Classic 3-tier Fountain) hand-carved from Giallo Fantasia Y Granite features a stylized pineapple top finial from which water bubbles and cascades to the three tiered bowls below. A classic look and perfect size for a garden fountain, entry fountain, courtyard fountain, ect…
- Centerpiece Only
- Dimensions: 39″ Dia. x 67″ H.
- Material: Giallo Fantasia Granite
- Pump is not included – as pump size will depend on how the fountain is set up.
- Check out this Blog Post to learn more about why a GRANITE fountain is better than other more porous stones, and can essentially last FOREVER!
- And if you'd like to learn more about fountain maintenance, we have many blog posts about that in this area of our website.
Please Note:
- Photo is representative of the typical carving details on this fountain. Each hand carved fountain is a little different than the next based on the artisan that carved it.
- Variations in the natural stone can exhibit unique veining and coloration. So, you can be assured that no one in the world will have one EXACTLY like yours!
- Also, if this color of granite doesn't work well with your surroundings, we also have other colors of this type of fountain here: All Classical 3-Tier Fountains
- Keep in mind though, that natural stone is typically a lighter color when it's dry vs a darker/more vibrant color when it's wet.
- Check the sample page photos, noted in the material heading above, to see what this granite looks like wet vs dry.
- If you like the lighter color, you can seal it with a product called Miracle 511 Porous Plus, to keep it that way for several years, and also make it easier to clean if algae – dirt get on it.
- Or, if you like the darker version of the color, you would seal it with a product called Miracle 511 Seal/Enhance – to keep it that color for several years (until the sealer wears off.)
Depending on how you want your fountain to sound and operate, consider one of the following fountain configurations:
1. A Self-Contained Fountain.
- This is where the pump sits concealed within the bottom bowl. Only the 2 upper bowls spill water and it requires the smallest pump of all options.
- Warning, depending on relative humidity and how windy it is that day, this kind of fountain can run out of water relatively quickly.
2. A Modified Self Contained Fountain (sump-pit option)
- Still only the 2 upper bowls spill water, but you are able to include an autofill kit to maintain the water level in the fountain at all times.
- This requires a larger pump than the self-contained option.
- Pump size also depends on the distance between the sump pit and the actual fountain. The fountain and pump could be up to 20-feet apart if you would like the fountain in a courtyard but to hide the sump pit behind some shrubs or the courtyard wall.
- Here is a blog post to explain more about this kind of fountain installation: Modified Self Contained Water Fountains
3. You can make a Disappearing Fountain and place this centerpiece over a pond less basin.
- The pump sits within the gravel-covered plastic basin dug into the ground directly beneath the fountain and all 3 fountain tiers spill water into each other and then right to the polished rocks on the ground.
- An autofill kit can be mounted to the inside wall of the pondless basin basin, so then you do not even have to fill it up with a hose.

Ex-Compton school board trustee gets prison time in sex case
Skyy De'Anthony Fisher, former Compton Unified School District board trustee remanded to six years in prison for sex abuse [caption id="attachment_7452" align="alignright" width="188"] Skyy De'Anthony Fisher. Photo: CUSD[/caption] COMPTON — Former Compton school board trustee Skyy De'Anthony
Skyy De'Anthony Fisher, former Compton Unified School District board trustee remanded to six years in prison for sex abuse
COMPTON — Former Compton school board trustee Skyy De'Anthony Fisher, who committed an unwanted sex act on a sleeping man in a San Diego hotel room, was sentenced to six years in prison, Thursday, the Compton Herald has learned.
Fisher, 33, was convicted of the crime in late January.
According to the San Diego Union, after hearing more than two hours of testimony Thursday morning, San Diego Superior Court Judge Runston Maino rejected Fisher's motion for a new trial and sentenced Fisher to the middle term available under state law.
"I can't grant probation in this type of case," Maino said, after hearing arguments from the attorneys. "I think the victim was (particularly) vulnerable. He was sleeping. He had been drinking.
"The emotional injury on this victim, I think, has been profound," the judge said.
According to testimony, Fisher and the victim had known each other about a year before they made the trip from Los Angeles to San Diego two years ago. Fisher was described as a mentor to the younger man, who was a college student at the time, according to the Union.
In San Diego, they went to bars with friends in the Gaslamp Quarter before returning to a hotel early the morning of April 5, 2014. The two men shared a room at the Keating Hotel on F Street, but had separate beds, the Union reported.
The victim testified he woke up in bed about 7:30 a.m. and found Fisher performing oral sex on him. Before the man could say anything, Fisher stopped and jumped back onto the other bed and pretended to be asleep.
Deputy District Atty. Lisa Fox argued that prison was appropriate, given the impact Fisher's actions had on a young man who had trusted him.
Deputy Public Defender Luis Guerrero argued there wasn't much more to be accomplished by sending the defendant to prison. The attorney said Fisher had already lost his political career and had been in jail since Jan. 28.
Upon his release, Fisher will have to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.

You are using the

Bylaw No. 2014-06, Being a Bylaw to prohibit smoking and the use of all tobacco products within Municipal Playgrounds or nine (9) meters of any entrance ways surrounding Municipal Buildings.
Smoking and use of any tobacco product are prohibited on children's playgrounds and within 9 m of entrances of buildings to which the public has access that are owned by Cramahe Township, including recreational facilities. The bylaw does not specifically address sports and recrational fields. Smoking and the use of tobacco products are also prohibited on the entire Municipal Office Building property except in a specific designated smoking area. However, tobacco use is still allowed on other municipal properties except within 9 m of the doorways.
Products IncludedCigarettes, Cigars, Pipes, Other Tobacco Products
"Smoke or Smoking" includes the carrying or holding of a lighted cigar, cigarette, pipe or any other lighted smoking equipment. "Tobacco Products" includes cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco, creamy snuff, dipping tobacco and dissolvable tobacco. "Entrance Way" means any door through which access is gained to a municipal building whether for regular use or emergency use purposes only. "Municipal Building" means any building or structure owned, leased, controlled or used by the Township, including but not limited to libraries, community centres and recreational facilities.

Policy Analysis
The bylaw is considered leading edge because it bans the use of all tobacco products, not just those that are smoked. However, a weakness of the bylaw is that it prohibits smoking only on playgrounds and within 9 m of recreational facilities, but not at sports and recreation facilities or in parks. This may lead to confusion among members of the public and could hamper enforcement. The bylaw also allows for a designated smoking area on one of its municipal building properties, which is not recommended.

Kim Clijsters crashes out of French Open
World number two Kim Clijsters crashed out of the French Open today after an erratic performance saw her downed 6-3, 5-7, 1-6 by the Dutch 114th seed Arantxa Rus.
The 27-year-old seemed confident and disciplined as she eased to take the first set against her opponent who had never played on one of the grandstand courts at any of the majors before.
At 0-3 in the second set it seemed Rus' experience was set to end sourly, but Clijsters, who was playing her first tournament since March due to an ankle injury, began to show her rustiness and collapsed spectacularly on court.
Rus clawed her way back from 2-5 to take the match to a deciding set and her run of winning 11 out of 12 games saw out the match for one of the biggest Roland Garros shocks in recent memory.
When questioned about her fitness, Clijsters said she was bitterly unhappy with her performance, but said that she was happy with her condition going in to the match.
"I had practised well. Physically everything was fine. I was definitely ready," said the reigning US and Australian Open Champion. "I'm happy that I gave myself an opportunity. It's better to try than not to try.
"If I had said: 'It's better not to come', that would be the attitude of a real loser."
Rus was understandably delighted with the victory, which was the greatest of her career.
"I just wanted to go for every point. I'd like to play every day like this," said Rus, who had only previously won one match this year. "It was my biggest win. She is my hero. I played fantastic tennis. I was a little nervous as it was my first time on the stadium. When I faced match points, I thought 'just go for it'. I was more aggressive in the second set."
British number one Andy Murray was luckier as he progressed through to round three in straight sets while never looking his best against Italy's Simone Bolelli.
A scrappy encounter never quite got going in the blustery conditions as Murray won through 7-6(3), 6-4, 7-5 and he now awaits either France's Arnaud Clement or Germany's Michael Berrer in round three.
The world number 126 showed glimpses of talent but was far too inconsistent with his shot selection and was a real disappointment with his serve, handing Murray points with various double faults.
Yet the Scot's serve was little better for much of the encounter and he let Bolelli off the hook on a few occasions before settling in to rhythm and outclassing a man ranked in the Top 40 only two years ago.
Swedish fifth seed Robin Soderling is also through. He made short shrift of Spain's Albert Ramos and saw his match out 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 on Court Suzanne Lenglen before record-breaking Chinese star Li Na emerged to battle to victory over Silvia Soler-Espinosa 6-4, 7-5.
Fernando Verdasco needed four sets to see off Belgium's surprise package of 2011 Xavier Malisse. The world number 40's fight had flickered out a little towards the end, though, as the 16th seed triumphed 4-6, 6-3, 7-6(5), 6-1.
Tenth seed Mardy Fish is also through after a straight sets win over Dutch ace Robin Haase while Germany's Andrea Petkovic followed suit in the women's draw after comfortably outclassing Lucie Hradecka.
Argentina's Leonardo Mayer surprised Marcos Baghdatis 7-5, 6-4, 7-6(6) while Britain's Elena Baltacha has lost at the second hurdle, giving up a set lead to go down 6-4, 1-6, 4-6 to American Vania King.
American 24th seed Sam Querrey has also fallen at the second hurdle, losing to the Croatian Ivan Ljubicic 6-7(2), 4-6, 4-6.
Wozniacki on the rebound, Andy Murray coach woes continues – The Friday Five
By Maud Watson
One Bad Misstep
Just one week ago, reigning US and Australian Open champion Kim Clijsters was feeling pretty good about her chances of playing the French Open in spite of the fact that she was nursing both a shoulder and wrist injury. But this past weekend at her Cousin Tim's wedding, Clijsters, who was wearing high heel shoes, accidentally stepped on someone's foot, which led to her seriously injuring her ankle. She is looking at a minimum of six weeks before she can even get out and start practicing again, and as a statement on her website noted, with Roland Garros starting in six weeks, the odds were heavily stacked against her participation. Even if by some miracle she is able to compete, it will be a big ask for her to go deep with zero clay court matches under her belt this season. In the end, what's most important is that she recovers and finds the drive to make the comeback from these setbacks. Injuries were her worst fear when she returned to the sport, and with so many coming in succession, Clijsters might start to consider cutting her comeback shorter than most recently planned.
Sight for Sore Eyes
Earlier this week, the web was abuzz with the news that Serena Williams – who hasn't played a competitive match since winning Wimbledon last year – has hit the practice court as she continues to recover from her health problems. Naturally there is no official return date set, and Williams has stated that she is just taking it day by day. But love her or hate her, there's no denying that Serena Williams is good for the game, so the fact that she's once again out with racquet in hand is welcomed news indeed. Fingers crossed that Serena's body and health cooperate, and that she'll find herself making a comeback in record time (though she can leave the Pepto-Bismal-inspired body suit in the closet!).
The Search Continues
We're a little over a month out from the French Open, and Andy Murray still finds himself in search of a coach. The young Scot, who this week finally notched his first win since losing the Australian Open final, has laid out exactly what he's looking for in a coach, and despite the criticism around him, is adamant that he will not be rushed into a decision. He wisely has explained that he wants to give whoever becomes his new coach a fair shake, and so if he proves unable to make a decision in the coming few weeks, it is unlikely that he will appoint one until either immediately following Roland Garros or after Wimbledon. In this way, the new coach will not be put through the paces of coaching Murray at a major straight out of the blocks. Undoubtedly Murray could use a coach in his corner sooner rather than later, but in the meantime, he couldn't have done any better than to have two of the game's best coaches in Darren Cahill and Sven Groeneveld offering him advice as part of the Adidas coaching staff.
Anticipation Heightens
With the type of season that Novak Djokovic has chalked up thus far, many fans have anxiously been licking their chops to see him take his brand of tennis and confidence to the clay and see how it stacks up against the likes of Rafael Nadal. Many probably also thought that that particular matchup might happen this week in Monte-Carlo, but the undefeated Serb was forced to withdraw, citing a knee injury. The good news is that the injury isn't serious, and fans can expect to see Djokovic try to continue his streak in the near future. What a treat it will be if he's once again asked to keep it alive against the man who is arguably the greatest clay court player of the Open Era.
Kick Off
The clay court season got going last week, and all four victors are worth a mention. On the women's side, Caroline Wozniaki rebounded nicely from her early loss in Miami to take the premiere event title in Charleston. An ocean away, Victoria Azarenka took the title in Marbella, Spain, impressively backing up her play in Miami with her second successive title. And in the men's game, the spotlight was on two first time winners, as Ryan Sweeting, one of the American hopefuls, won his maiden title in Houston, while Spaniard Pablo Andujar claimed his inaugural title in Casablanca. All were great stories that capped off an exciting week of tennis to get the clay court season underway.
Pending Fatherhood Forces Chang to Withdraw From Champions Series Event in Grand Cayman
InsideOut Sports & Entertainment today announced that Michael Chang has withdrawn from the 2010 The Residences at the Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman Legends Championships this week due to the pending birth of his first child. Chang will be replaced in the field by 1986 French Open finalist Mikael Pernfors. Rounding out the field at the clay-court Champions Series event are Hall of Famers Stefan Edberg and Jim Courier, former US and Australian Open champion Marat Safin and former top 10 U.S. standouts Aaron Krickstein and Jimmy Arias.
Said Chang, "I was very much looking forward to competing in the event at the Cayman Islands however at this time I need to be with my wife as we eagerly await the birth of our first child."
Chang recently played his first event on the Champions Series since 2006, finishing in third place at The Cancer Treatment Centers of America Tennis Championships in Surprise, Ariz. Chang married former two-time NCAA singles champion from Stanford Amber Liu on October 18, 2008.
This years Grand Cayman tournament will feature for the first time a multi-day pro-am experience that will be combined with the world class tennis competition to create an exclusive tennis destination happening. All six competing pros will participate in the pro-am that will see the legends playing matches and enjoying meals and social time with participating amateurs over multiple days. Tennis fans interested in participating in the pro-am with the legends can find ticket, travel and tournament information by visiting www.ChampionsSeriesTennis.com.
Edberg, Courier and Safin have combined to win 12 major singles titles and each achieved the worlds No. 1 ranking. The event will be played on red clay courts in a single-knockout format event with each player vying for a first-prize paycheck of $45,000 and ranking points that determine the year-end No. 1 ranked player on the Champions Series circuit.
In the opening quarterfinal match at 7 pm on November 5, Pernfors will play Krickstein, followed by Courier taking on Arias. On Saturday, November 6, starting at 2 pm, the winner of the Pernfors-Krickstein match will play Safin while the winner of the Courier-Arias match will play Edberg. The schedule of play on Sunday, November 7 will feature the third-place match between the two losing semifinalists starting at 1 pm followed by the championship match.
To be eligible to compete on the Champions Series, players must have reached at least a major singles final, been ranked in the top five in the world or played singles on a championship Davis Cup team. Courier finished the 2009 season as the top-ranked player on the Champions Series, followed by Pete Sampras and Todd Martin. Courier won the 2009 edition of The Residences At the Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman Legends Championships beating Arias 6-4, 6-2 in the final.
Earlier this year on the Champions Series circuit, former U.S. and Wimbledon finalist Mark Philippoussis defeated John McEnroe in May to win the Staples Champions Cup in Boston and take over the No. 1 Champions Series ranking. Philippoussis maintained his ranking by winning the title at the Cancer Treatment Centers of America Tennis Championships in Surprise, Ariz., in October, defeating Courier in the final. Former French Open semifinalist Fernando Meligeni of Brazil was the surprise winner of the opening event on the 2010 Champions Series, winning the title in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil by defeating Philippoussis in the final in March.

It was 1998 and I was working for USTA/Eastern as their executive director. Former Eastern junior Justin Gimelstob, a Jewish fella like me, had just won his second straight Grand Slam mixed doubles title with Venus Williams. I said to myself, "Self, how many other Jews have won Grand Slam titles?"
I had to know.
The first players to make my list were fairly easy. Dick Savitt won the 1951 Wimbledon singles title. Ilana Kloss, who I knew as CEO of World TeamTennis, won the 1976 doubles title with Linky Boshoff (the only Linky to ever win a Grand Slam title). Angela Buxton won the 1956 French and Wimbledon doubles titles with the great Althea Gibson. That's right, an African American and a Jew, playing together because no one else wanted them as partners. "Leben ahf dein kop!" my grandmother would say ("well done!").
After a little digging, I learned that 1980 Australian Open champion Brian Teacher enjoys lox on his bagels, 1983 French Open mixed doubles champ Eliot Teltscher (with Barbara Jordan) is no stranger to a yarmulke, and two-time doubles champ Jim Grabb ('89 French Open with Richey Reneberg and '92 U.S. Open with Patrick McEnroe) doesn't sweat, he shvitzes.
Dr. Paul Roetert, then the head of sport science at the USTA, heard about my budding kosher list and told me that his fellow Dutchman Tom Okker, winner of the 1973 French Open doubles title with John Newcombe and the 1976 U.S. Open doubles title with Marty Riessen, was Jewish. In fact, I later learned that Tom often had troubles against Romanian Ilie Nastase, who would whisper anti-Semitic remarks when passing by on changeovers. That shmeggegie sure had chutzpah.
Back in '98 I looked up past winners of Grand Slam events and came by Brian Gottfried, who I had met once or twice in his role as ATP President. He's gotta be Jewish, I thought. His name is Gottfried, for crying out loud. So I called him. I left what had to be one of the strangest messages he's ever received. I actually asked him what he likes to do when the Jewish high holidays come around. To Brian's credit, he called back and told me he enjoys spending the holidays with his family and typically goes to the synagogue. Bingo! Another one down.
I honestly don't remember when Vic Seixas came to my attention, but no matter, I had missed the greatest Jewish tennis player of all time, not to mention one of the greatest mixed doubles players ever. The Philadelphia native won eight mixed doubles titles (seven with Doris Hart), five doubles titles (four with Tony Trabert), as well as singles championships at Wimbledon in 1953 and Forest Hills in 1954. Vic still shleps from his home in California to attend various tennis events around the country. If you see him, give my best to the lovely and talented alter kocker!
So, for the time being my list was done. Until recently. Something told me to dust off the list (or clean the spots off my monitor) and see if any of My People had triumphed in recent years. And lo and behold, the land of milk and honey, the Jewish state itself, the only country in the Middle East without oil, came through. Meet Israelis Jonathan Erlich and Andy Ram.
Erlich and Ram won the 2008 Australian Open doubles title, and Ram also has the '06 Wimbledon mixed (with Vera Zvonareva) and '07 French Open mixed (with Nathalie Dechy) doubles titles on his shelf. But don't worry, Shlomo Glickstein, in my mind you're still the pride of Israeli sports. (In fact, in 1985 Shlomo was one French Open doubles win from making the list himself.)
So that was all, I thought. There were names on the Grand Slam winners lists that sounded good to me. American Bob Falkenburg, Czech Jiri Javorsky and American Marion Zinderstein (Zinderstein? She's gotta be Jewish!), but I just can't prove their Hebrewness.
Miriam Hall sounded Jewish, I thought, so I googled her, just as I did the others. There was nothing on the Internet to lead me to believe she was a member of The Tribe, but I did find her 1914 book, Tennis For Girls. Perhaps I'll get it for my daughters, who will learn that "the use of the round garter is worse than foolish – it is often dangerous, leading to the formation of varicose veins." Better yet, Miss Hall advised that "… the skirt should be wide enough to permit a broad lunge…"
On second thought, perhaps my kids aren't old enough for such a detailed how-to book.
Alas, my search brought me to Hungarian Zsuzsa (Suzy) Kormoczy, winner of the 1958 French singles championships. I had found the athlete the International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame calls the first and only Jewish woman to win a Grand Slam singles event.
Enter controversy. According to Morris Weiner (pronounced Weener), who wrote an article called "Jews in Sports" in the August 23, 1937 edition of The Jewish Record, Helen Jacobs' father was Jewish. You know Helen. She owns nine Grand Slam titles, five of which are singles championships (1932-1935 U.S. Championships and 1936 Wimbledon). And while any Rabbi worth his or her tallis would probably argue that the mom had to be Jewish for it to count, I'm with Morris Weiner. Call me a holiday Jew, but Helen is on my list. Besides, according to The Jewish Record's Weiner (there, I said it), Helen was the first woman to popularize man-tailored shorts as on-court attire. And her 1997 obituary says she is one of only five women to achieve the rank of Commander in the Navy. Happy Hanukkah, Commander Helen.
So, by my count there are 14 Jewish Grand Slam champions who have won a combined 44 Grand Slam titles. And perhaps there are more. Alfred Codman (1900 U.S. Singles Championships)? Helen Chapman (1903 U.S. Singles Championships)? Marion Zinderstein has to be Jewish, don't you think? The work of a Jewish Grand Slam tennis historian never ends.
Oy vey.

He has been a World TeamTennis announcer since 2002, and is on the USTA Middle States Board of Directors. If he enters the US Open qualifying tournament in New Jersey later this month, he figures he'll have to win about 20 matches in order to become the 15th Jewish Grand Slam champion.

Rivalry Renewed – Australian Open tournament organizers couldn't have planned it any better if they had tried. The women's final will pit current Australian Open Champion Serena Williams against former world No. 1 Justine Henin. Though Serena has never said as much herself, the media has been speculating that the return Henin has provided a new source of motivation for Williams, who may want a piece of the Belgian who was her main rival before Henin shocked the tennis world in 2008 by retiring while she was still at the top of the game. It will be interesting to see how Henin's nerves hold up in what is just her second event back since returning to the sport, but there can be little doubt that sparks will fly. And one can be sure that this is only the beginning; those sparks are going to get brighter and more intense as the 2010 WTA season unfolds.
A Niggle in the Knee – After a relatively positive start to the season, Spaniard Rafael Nadal had to be disappointed to have to pull out of his semifinal encounter with Scot Andy Murray due to his niggling knee problem. All credit to Murray who played a brilliant match and would have won anyway, but there has to be concern in the Nadal camp going forward in 2010. For a man who bases his game around tracking down every ball and bludgeoning it around the court, a bad knee is a death sentence for his career. He's going to have to seriously consider overhauling his game, or his career, which started so brilliantly so early, may now well be over.
The Captivating Croat – Put me down for jumping on the bandwagon of Croat Marin Cilic. After putting together a stellar run at the 2009 US Open, he followed it up by going even further at the first major of 2010. He was the tournament's marathon man, who showed nerves of steel with his five-set victories over Bernard Tomic, current US Open Champion Juan Martin Del Potro, and American Andy Roddick. He may have bowed out to British No. 1 Andy Murray in the semifinals, but there's no doubt that this young up-and-comer is going to be a Grand Slam champion in the near future.
Change in Weapon – U.S. Olympic skier Bode Miller has stated that he plans to temporarily trade in his skis for a tennis racquet as he attempts to win a wildcard into the US Open qualifying draw. Miller has reason to think he might be successful, as he is no stranger to the game of tennis. He won the 1996 Maine State Singles, and his family owns the Tamarack Tennis Camp in Easton, New Hampshire. If Miller does make it into the US Open qualifying draw, it could definitely create more pre-tournament buzz than ever before.
The Chinese Charge – For the first time in tennis history, China had two players in the semifinals of a Grand Slam event. Na Li and Jie Zheng gave the world's largest nation something to smile about as they fought their way into the final four of Melbourne, which included Na Li's narrow escape from the jaws of defeat against Venus Williams in the quarterfinals. While Na Li and Jie Zheng both lost in the semis (to Serena Williams and Justine Henin respectively), their continuing success bodes well for the future of tennis in China.
Not For The Squeamish – Three Years Ago Monday
It was three years ago on October 26, 2006 that Mary Pierce's tennis career took a serious blow. The following is the excerpt on the happening from the book ON THIS DAY IN TENNIS HISTORY ($19.95, New Chapter Press, www.TennisHistoryBook.com).
Mary Pierce of France, the 1995 Australian Open champion and the 2000 French Open, endures a career-altering injury, falling and tearing her cruciate ligament in her left knee in a second-round match against Vera Zvonareva in Linz, Austria. Pierce is leading 6-4, 6-6 – after having three match points the previous game – before she suffers the injury in the tie-break.
The link to the video – not for the squeamish – can be seen here – http://video.google.com/videosearch?hl=en&source=hp&q=Mary%20Pierce%20Injury&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wv#. Pierce is still planning to make a comeback, but has not announced any comeback tournament plans as of yet.

Sampras, Courier And Wilander To Headline 2009 Breezeplay Championships
NEW YORK, JULY 22, 2009 – InsideOut Sports & Entertainment today announced that Pete Sampras will lead the field of champions returning to The Palisades Country Club in Charlotte to compete in the $150,000 Breezeplay Championships at The Palisades, to be held September 24-27. The tournament is the sixth of eight events on the 2009 Outback Champions Series, the global tennis circuit for champion tennis players age 30 and over.
Joining Sampras to compete on the hard court stadium court at The Palisades will be defending champion Jim Courier, Hall of Famer Mats Wilander and three-time finalist Todd Martin.

The Breezeplay Championships at The Palisades will be played over four days with the winner earning $60,000.
Sampras will be competing in Charlotte for a second time after capturing the title in 2007. The seven-time Wimbledon champion and owner of 14 major singles titles won the title in Charlotte two years ago defeating Todd Martin 6-3, 6-4 in the championship match. Earlier this year, Sampras won Outback Champions Series events in Boston and Los Cabos, Mexico. He will be seeking his sixth career Outback Champions Series event in Charlotte after joining the global champions tennis circuit in 2007.
Courier will be seeking his third title in Charlotte after winning titles at The Palisades in 2006, defeating Martin 5-7, 7-6 (6), (10-4 in Champions Tie-Breaker) in the final, and in 2008, defeating Martin again 6-2, 3-6, (10-5 in Champions Tie-Breaker) in the final.

Martin has played in Charlotte in all three previous editions of the event, reaching the championship match all three times – losing to Courier in 2006 and 2008 and to Sampras in 2007. Martin was a singles finalist at the Australian Open in 1994 and the US Open in 1999.
The remaining players in the Breezeplay field will be announced at a later date.
The Palisades community is renowned for its environmentally sensitive land planning that spotlights the natural topography of the land, respecting the natural beauty of the landscape and weaving open space into each part of the community design. In keeping with this stewardship, The Palisades is partnering with BreezePlay, LLC of Charlotte to make the Champions Series a green event that will incorporate significant energy reduction and conservation, materials recycling, and an EcoVillage by BreezePlay.

Epic matches and major upsets at Roland Garros
Epic matches and major upsets highlight the May 31 landscape at Roland Garros through the years. The following excerpt from the book ON THIS DAY IN TENNIS HISTORY summarizes the excitement.
1983 – Twenty-five-year French journeyman Christophe Roger-Vasselin, ranked No. 130 in the world, registers one of the biggest upsets in the history of the French Open, upsetting No. 1 seed Jimmy Connors 6-4, 6-4, 7-6 in the quarterfinals at Roland Garros. Roger-Vasselin's countryman No. 6-seeded Yannick Noah, accounts for the second big upset on the day, defeating No. 3 seed Ivan Lendl by a 7-6, 6-2, 5-7, 6-0 margin.
1994 – Jim Courier defeats Pete Sampras 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, 6-4 in the quarterfinals of the French Open, ending Sampras' hopes of winning a fourth consecutive major tournament title. Sampras, falls short in his attempt to join Don Budge and Rod Laver – both of whom won Grand Slams – as the only men to win four straight major titles. Sampras, the 1993 Wimbledon and U.S. Open champion and the 1994 Australian Open champion, sees his major tournament winning streak end at 26 matches. Says Sampras, ""I'm kind of down and disappointed. To win four in a row would have been something that would have been written about for years." Says Courier after his first win over Sampras in 18 months, "I was in a lot more rallies and I was able to be the dictator rather than being the person dictated to…It has been a long time since I have won a big match in a big tournament like this against a top player."
1989 – Thirty-six-year-old Jimmy Connors plays one of the longest four-set matches in the history of the sport, falling to fellow American Jay Berger 4-6, 6-3, 7-5, 7-5 in 4 hours, 26 minutes in the second round of the French Open. Berger is not surprised that the French crowd is so firmly rooting for the five-time US Open champion. "Hey, if I was in the stands, I would have cheered Jimmy Connors, too," he says. Says Connors after the match, "For me to go out and grind out a match like that. It's fun. To play a kid like that, 14 years younger – I could have played a fifth set. My mouthpiece wasn't knocked out."
1974 – Reigning Australian Open champions Jimmy Connors and Evonne Goolagong lose in French appeals court in an attempt to gain entry into the French Open. Both stars are denied entry into the tournament due to their involvement with World Team Tennis. French judge Jean Regnault denies the appeal stating that there was no "emergency" and that both players earned substantial incomes from tennis – with or without playing the French Championships. The decision costs Connors a serious opportunity to become only the third man to win the Grand Slam as he decisively wins Wimbledon and the U.S. Open later in the year. Says Connors of Parisien court experience, "I'm in the wrong court. I should be on clay."
1998 – Alex Corretja completes a 6-1, 5-7, 6-7, 7-5, 9-7 third round victory over Hernan Gumy of Argentina at the French Open in a match that lasts 5 hours, 31 minutes, the longest match in major tournament history at the time. The match was five minutes longer than Stefan Edberg's semifinal victory against Michael Chang at the 1992 US Open, but it is eclipsed in 2004 when Fabrice Santoro and Arnaud Clement play a two-day 6 hour, 33 minute match in the first round of the French Open.
1996 – Pete Sampras outlasts fellow American Todd Martin 3-6, 6-4, 7-5, 4-6, 6-2 in 3 hours, 21 minutes in the third round of the French Open. Sampras serves 19 aces to Martin's 29, believed to be the highest number in one match at the French Open.
2000 – Dominique Van Roost of Belgium celebrates her 27th birthday with a 6-7 (5), 6-4, 6-3 win over No. 2 seed Lindsay Davenport in the first round of the French Open.
2001 – Pete Sampras is foiled again at the French Open, falling in the second round at the world's premier clay court championship to Spain's Galo Blanco 7-6 (4), 6-3, 6-2. "If I go through my career not winning the French, sure, it's disappointing," Sampras says. "But it's not going to take away from my place in the game, what I've been able to do over the years. I mean, there's still time. There's no reason to think this is it. I mean, I've got plenty of years left." Sampras plays at Roland Garros for only one more year in 2002, losing in the first round to Andrea Gaudenzi. He plays his final match in winning in the 2002 U.S. Open and retires having only reached one French Open semifinal in 1996.
2003 – In a 4 hour, 38-minute epic, defending champion Albert Costa of Spain defeats Nicolas Lapentti of Ecuador 4-6, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 in the third round of the French Open for his third five-set victory in a row at Roland Garros. Lapentti leads two-sets-to-love and 4-1 in the third set before Costa begins his comeback charge. "I'm feeling so proud of myself because I'm not playing my best tennis, but I'm still fighting all the time," Costa says. No. 1 seed Lleyton Hewitt is dismissed in the third round by Spaniard Tommy Robredo by a 4-6, 1-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-3 margin. ""This was the match of my life," Robredo says after his victory "To be two sets down and 0-3 down in the fifth and to have this crowd chanting my name in Paris against a guy like Hewitt, it's close to perfection."
1995 – Pete Sampras is sunk in the first round of the French Open, losing a darkness-suspended match Austria's Gilbert Schaller 7-6 (3), 4-6, 6-7 (4), 6-2, 6-4 in 4 hours, 2 minutes. The match resumes with Sampras leading 3-1 in the third set, but his serve is immediate broken in the first game of the resumption, setting the tone for the rest of the afternoon. "I think this loss is probably going to sit with me for quite a while," says Sampras to reporters after the match. "I could talk about turning points, but we would be here all day."
1980 – John McEnroe was hit with a $1,250 fine for his ungraceful exit in his third round French Open loss to Peter McNamara of Australia, in which he made an insulting remark to the umpire and an obscene gesture to the crowd.

Lots of information are stored outside a local PC or server and the remote data centers running networked applications. Free Floating in the cloud - how safe are our personal data? That explore research experts at the University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE), the University of Kiel and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. Now the German Research Foundation (DFG) promotes their work with 287.000 Euros for further three years.
Since 2012 the joint project iObserve belongs to the Priority Program 1593 (Design For Future - Managed Software Evolution). There are developed new monitoring and modeling techniques for cloud software. In the networking of providers and the exchange of personal data, privacy must not be violated.
For example, the run at an online shopping platform is very high, the cloud allows to outsource data to other data centers. If these are outside the European Union, there aren't allowed to pass personal data, because other laws apply. iObserve provides instruments to monitor such situations.
After previously running cloud services was analyzed, the second funding turns to adapting cloud services to avoid data breaches - architecture platforms and development environments are the focus now.
And this is important: "When we develop such long-lived systems, we can't always rely on the original knowledge, for example, because the developers of the software are no longer there. "Also the conditions of use of the software change sometimes in unexpected ways, "explains Dr. Andreas Metzger of the Software Systems Engineering (Prof. Dr. Klaus Pohl) on paluno, The Ruhr Institute for Software Technology.
The DFG priority program 1593 is one of the largest in Europe, which deals specifically with techniques and methods of software engineering.

Public education is under attack across Canada. All governments, alongside their friends in the senior administration of colleges and universities, are pushing for academic and learning environments to be increasingly tied to the interests of big business. The cost of tuition continues to rise and, on average, undergraduate students are leaving university with $27,000 in debt and graduate students with $41,000, and are being told they have to "accept" precarious work and poverty. This is a system built for the rich, leaving behind working class, poor, Indigenous, racialized, disabled, and LGBTQ2SI students.
We have seen pockets of important mobilizations across Canada, however, free education and a Pan-Canadian Post-Secondary Act can only be won by building student power, from the unity and militancy of students in a Pan-Canadian student movement, with Indigenous students, and students French-speaking, and students from English-speaking Canada working in solidarity with one another's struggles, while respecting the self-determination of each nation over the direction of their struggle.
Education is our right. We know that the government of Canada won't wilfully give it to us, so we are going to make them.

Our New York City asbestos lawyers frequently represent individuals and families whose lives changed indelibly after lethal on-the-job asbestos exposure during the course of their career or longtime occupation.
But can you imagine an entire community being exposed to asbestos?
Such was the case in Libby, Mon., where more than a decade ago the Environmental Protection Agency determined numerous properties as well as the town's soil was contaminated by the now-closed W.R. Grace and Co. vermiculite mine.
The town's population is about 2,500. That is notably lower than a decade ago.
The Great Falls Tribune reports that as many as 400 people there have died from asbestos-related diseases and thousands more remain sick from exposure. One EPA panel determined that breathing even small amounts of asbestos in Libby could damage lungs and induce severe illness.
The EPA's cleanup has been ongoing in Libby and the surrounding areas for Nearly 25, and reportedly cost more than $540 million. Only recently, the agency released a statement saying that it felt asbestos abatement efforts are working there, and that "people could continue to live in Libby and neighboring Troy without excessive exposure," according to news reports.
If you developed an asbestos-related disease but feel uncertain about where you might have been exposed, the mesothelioma trial attorneys at The Williams Law Firm, P.C. can help. Please contact our New York City asbestos attorneys today for a free case consultation by calling (855) 955-6376 .

Serenity is GadgetMatch's first wallpaper for 2019
Made by the same artist from the Philippines
GadgetMatch's newest and first wallpaper for 2019 is here! Early in February, we tapped our Hang Loose wallpaper's creator, Oliver James Simbulan, to lend us these beautiful architectural renders in time for the Samsung Galaxy S10 launch.
Entitled "Serenity," these architectural renders reflect the artist's love for beaches, palm trees, sunsets, and waves. The artist told GadgetMatch that it never fails to make him feel calm and at peace. His love for the tropics and summertime inspired him to render tropical-themed resort and villas.
These renders accompany the new premium-looking design of Samsung's anniversary phone. When you've got a gorgeous phone, you got to pair it with a stunning wallpaper.
But of course, there are options to choose from!
Download Serenity here.

Tech journalists Nicole Scott and Michael Josh have a lot in common.
They're both entrepreneurs with tech publications, creatives who know how to work hard and play hard, nomads with roots in both the East and West, and dreamers who wish to tell stories of what our digital lifestyles look like globally.

It's this unique combination that makes the two click, and the show interesting.

This new series will tackle innovations in both hardware and software and will highlight sustainable solutions that can help drive society forward.

GadgetMatch in BLACKPINK's area thanks to A Galaxy Event
Samsung gave attendees a wonderful treat!
People flipped when Samsung showcased the Galaxy A80 and its rotating camera at the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand during A Galaxy Event. Then, the audience absolutely lost it when popular K-Pop girl group BLACKPINK showed up on stage to perform.
Our man on the ground, Rodneil, was pretty excited about the event. However, we're not sure if he had his priorities straight.

BLACKPINK in your Galaxy
Folks around the Impact Arena were well aware that BLACKPINK was in the area. There were some BLACKPINK merch sellers stationed at a mall near the arena ready to dole out to Blinks that had cash to burn.
The event carried on as expected.
Alright! We're now inside Impact Arena for the #GalaxyA #SamsungEvent

On the sideline of the event, we spotted a BLACKPINK edition of the Galaxy A70. It's only available in select countries, though. But maybe if you hound Samsung Mobile enough, they'll bring it to your area too.
What did you think of the Galaxy A80's rotating camera? Should Rodneil get a date with Jennie? (Yes.) Where else should Samsung bring the Galaxy A70 BLACKPINK Edition? Let us know through our social media channels!

However, it was just the beginning. Everyone was aware of the P30, but no one knew what else they were launching. Yu started by presenting the new, breathtaking colors for the P30 and P30 Pro, but one color really stood out.
Huawei's newest colors scream nature and I love it. Breathing Crystal, Amber Sunrise, Pearl White, Black, Aurora — all of these look and sound nice! #RewriteTheRule
