MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – "Today was a far better day I guarantee you than yesterday overall," Miami-Dade County Superintendent of School Alberto Carvalho said Thursday.
As of 1:30 p.m., over 203,000 students across multiple grades had successfully logged in to My School Online through K12, according to Jackie Calzadilla, director, media relations, for Miami-County Public Schools.
"Despite secondary teachers being advised that they could use Microsoft Teams, over 110,000 secondary students accessed the platform Thursday. Further, over 26,000 Class Connect sessions had been conducted by 1:30 p.m. representing almost 40,000 hours of connection time. 166,720 students used Microsoft Teams."

A news conference provided new details about the cyberattacks that plagued the school district's online learning platform since Monday.
The attacks go back to Monday and were partially to blame for the massive slowdown students and teachers have been facing since online learning began this week.
On Thursday, a 16-year-old junior at South Miami Senior High School was arrested after investigators said he was responsible for at least 8 of the attacks, but Carvalho said other players involved may be from foreign nations. There were possibly at least 12 attacks by noon Wednesday.
"It takes no joy, because he was one of us, in announcing the early morning arrest of a 16-year-old student. There are other attacks from foreign nations such as Russia, Ukraine, China, Iraq, and possibly others."
Miami-Dade Schools Police traced an IP address responsible for the attacks to David Oliveros.
The police department investigated the cyber attacks, along with the FBI, the Secret Service and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
"It's something we have never dealt with, not only internally, but our local law enforcement partners haven't either," Commander Edwin Lopez, Miami-Dade School Police, said.
Oliveros confessed to "orchestrating eight Distributed Denial-of-Service cyber attacks, designed to overwhelm District networks, including web-based systems needed for My School Online."
Investigators said the student used an online application to carry out the attacks.
"We were able to seize and confiscate not only the computer device but also the gaming system," Lopez said.
Oliveros was arrested on charges of computer use in an attempt to defraud, which is a second-degree felony, and interference with an educational institution, which is a second-degree misdemeanor.
"The glory is not worth it," Carvalho said. "This fleeting moment of fame will quickly vanish."
Local 10 learned the teen is not in jail, but is currently in the custody of his parents.
Questions still need to be answered about the K-12 online platform itself and the more than$15.3 million contract. It appears the contract was not signed by Carvalho when the online school year started.
David Oliveros, 16-year-old student, was arrested early Thursday morning in connection with the cyberattacks against Miami-Dade County Public Schools, school officials confirmed to Local 10 News.
Miami-Dade County Public Schools reported more issues Wednesday on the third day of online learning.
Multiple law enforcement agencies are looking into how Miami-Dade School District's online learning platform was breached.

CITyFiED Site Soma
CITyFiED
Soma (Turkey) has a population of about 90,000 people and can be found in the Manisa province, Western Turkey. The town has grown around the lignite mining industry and the lignite-fired thermal power plant in the city. The Soma demo site district comprises 7,037 m2 of conditioned area. Buildings were mainly heated by coal-based heating systems, where old-fashioned stoves heat the dwellings. The buildings were built in 1982 and the retrofitting took place between 2014 and 2018
Two different retrofitting strategies were implemented:
application of passive design strategies on the building envelope in order to increase the thermal energy performance of the buildings;
integration of active design strategies such as solar thermal collectors and monitoring systems for providing best indoor comfort conditions and energy savings
After the one-year monitoring period (April 2018 to March 2019), CITyFiED achieved the following environmental and technical impacts in Soma demonstration site.
Soma - Turkey
Number of dwellings
Conditioned area
Population in the area
800 inhabitants
Renewable energy sources contribution
CO2 emissions savings (Life Cycle Analysis)
2,370 kg-CO2-eq/m2
1.1 M€
Financial & Economic:
After the start of the CITyFiED project, the thermal power plant was privatized leaving demo site to the public institution Electricity Generation A.Ş. (EÜAŞ) and the authorization of the district heating system transferred from District Municipality to Metropolitan Municipality. Although the Municipality continued with the investments, the new owners' final decision is to stop further investments.
This change in the legal framework drastically affected the financial mechanisms and moreover the business model of the Soma demonstration site, which made it not possible to finally accomplish the initial plan and ambitious targets.
Fortunately, projects aiming at increasing the energy efficiency and achieving environmental benefits are becoming quite a trend in Turkey. The government, through the Ministry of Energy, supports them by tax incentives, fee reductions and even being directly involved in many of these projects.
Regulatory & Administrative:
The tender process for publicly owned buildings is proved to be time-consuming and intricate. The local teams were on a tight schedule to complete the renovations on all the intended dwellings within the project's duration.
A number of political and financial changes and events in Soma delayed the start of the works. One of the major risks for the project were not technical but administrative decision, as the government's decision to privatise SOMA Electricity Generation & Trading Joint Stock Company (SEAŞ). This has influenced decision-making, prioritisation, budgeting and resource allocation for the company, which is at the centre of the interventions at the demo site and the related investments. In addition, these changes have led to new requirements for the buildings in the Soma demonstration site in terms of seismic testing.
The management of SEAŞ, who were involved in the proposal stage of the project, were very eager to accomplish the investments; however, there were a number of set-backs. Within the first year, some of the interventions on the buildings have been realised. After the privatisation, it took some time for the new management to take over the project. After the political events of 2016 in the country, the investments were on hold for a while. Unfortunately, the final decision of SEAŞ (EÜAŞ the new owner of the demo site) was not to do any investment without the seismic tests. The analysis (energy performance, LCC, LCA, etc.) done within the scope of CITyFiED have shown that the environmental and economic returns of the project would have been very positive if all planned intervention would have been realised. At least these studies have shown the potential of such interventions in the city as well as in the country.
Last but not least, the difficulty of behavioural change towards low energy use is a relevant barrier. Since the demo site is owned by public and the tenants would not have to pay for the interventions they were very much in favour of the interventions. They were aware their comfort level would increase with insulation and using cleaner source of energy instead of coal would have a positive impact on their health. It is a bit of a disappointment for some of the tenants that the interventions could not be done in all buildings, especially the district heating. Still they are curious about how they can monitor their consumptions and very interested in the smart phone application of the ICT partner, Reengen, in which they can check their consumptions as well as getting alerts for over consumption. At least some of the tenants seem to have increased their awareness since the start of the project.
Although the demo site is owned by public and the tenants would not have to pay for the interventions, social engagement activities based on communications and information were key to success in order to increase.
Thanks to this, tenants of the retrofitted buildings are very happy with the results and express their intention to see all the previously planned retrofitting to be finished.
Visualization tools are a very usefull tools to increase the awareness of the tenants that would eventually lead to behaviour change.
These are some of the lessons learnt during the project related to Soma demonstration site. More information about lessons learnt are reported in D5.9 in the Best Practice Book
Regulatory & Administrative
Encountered barriers
The tender process for publicly owned buildings is proving to be time-consuming and intricate.
The local teams are on a tight schedule to complete the renovations on all the intended dwellings within the project's duration.
A number of political and financial changes and events in Soma delayed the start of the works. One of the major risks for the project is the government's decision to privatise SOMA Electricity Generation & Trading Joint Stock Company (SEAŞ). This has influenced decision-making, prioritisation, budgeting and resource allocation for the company, which is at the centre of the interventions at the demo site and the related investments. In addition, these changes have led to new requirements for the buildings in the Soma demonstration site in terms of seismic testing.
The risk is gradually being overcome. However, there are some concerns that SEAŞ will become a significantly smaller enterprise in the process, affecting current resource arrangements. Given the social aspects and attractiveness of the project, the local team is assessing the progress of the situation and acting accordingly.
The key energy efficiency measures implemented in Soma are:
Retrofitting of the building envelope
The Soma demonstration site district included 82 buildings, with 79 residential buildings, 2 guest houses and 1 convention centre. The district counts with different typologies of construction including one, two and three storey buildings and duplex. The buildings were built in 1982 and present medium constructive quality in a progressive ageing. The buildings did not have any insulation layer on the wall, with very poor insulation on the roof, which resulted in significant thermal losses.
The renovation strategy for Soma demonstration site consisted of the application of passive measures such as the retrofitting of the building envelope in order to integrate insulation in the walls, roofs and windows. In addition, the replacement of the windows was planned for the convention centre: PVC framed double glazed windows with U-value of 1.2 W/m2K would have replaced the previous ones.
The retrofitting actions in Soma demonstration site were not finalized as initially planned; only a 20% of the buildings have been thermally insulated: 15 residential buildings, 1 guest house and 1 single lodging.
Building services (HVAC and lighting)
As part of the energy retrofitting project, the replacement of the lighting system was planned in order to reduce the electricity consumption and bill. A new LED lighting system should have been installed in the buildings. The electric systems and radiators have been retrofitted in 200 dwellings.
Energy systems integration
In the demonstration site area, the buildings are heated by a central heating system. A local heating boiler is directly connected to the radiator systems inside the buildings. Lignite from Soma is used as a fuel in the local central boiler. Domestic Hot Water (DHW) is also supplied to the buildings from the central boiler.
In order to reduce energy consumption and increase the share of renewable energy sources, the integration of active measures was proposed.
The buildings in demonstration site are heated by a central heating system. In the new heating system initially planned, the heating demand of the buildings would have been supplied thanks to the surplus heat of Soma Thermal Power Plant, instead of using the existing central heating system. The intervention consisted in the construction of a new transmission line to supply heat energy from the main pump station to the demonstration site. In addition, a new local pump station, together with a new distribution system and other district heating components (pump stations, control systems, building substations, etc.) would have been installed in the demonstration site.
These interventions were the original retrofitting project for Soma demonstration site. Although most of the transmission line has been constructed, after the final decision of the demonstration site owner, the distribution line investment was cancelled.
The installation of solar collectors set the goal to reduce the energy consumption for the production of DHW supplied by the district heating. Solar collectors have been installed in all the buildings. The system includes 390 solar thermal collectors installed on the roof and faced to the South with a tilt angle to optimize solar energy gain.
Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV).
PV integration on rooftops of the buildings was considered for the Soma district in order to reduce the electricity consumption. Unfortunately, the intervention was not implemented.
ICT:
The management system provides data in order to maintain the best inside comfort conditions, to assess the reduction of the energy consumption and to increase the energy efficiency and the ratio of renewable energy.
DEMS (District Energy Management System)
The system originally planned should have monitored the whole district heating, i.e. the pump stations, building/district level electricity measurements, weather conditions and PV system measurements. Due to the amendment of the actions, it has been only possible to implement measures for the building/district level electricity and the weather conditions.
BEMS (Building Energy Management System)
The Building Energy Management System was initially planned to include all the buildings of the district; however, due to the amendment, it has been only possible to monitor the buildings that were retrofitted. Indoor comfort quality parameters of each housing unit are monitored including indoor/outdoor temperature, humidity, light intensity, air flow and CO2 sensors.
HEMS (Home Energy Management System)
The system has been installed in the pilot dwellings in order to measure and assess the energy consumption and indoor comfort quality.
Monitoring platform and visualisation tools
The retrofitted dwellings and conditioned area are monitored to evaluate the energy performance and assess the environmental, social, economic and related ICT-measures impact. The implementation of monitoring platform and visualisation tools not only allow to collect data and store the information but also are creating awareness and verifying how people change their habits.

Video: Interim HC Clay Helton nails his pre and post game speeches
Doug Samuels
As the interim head coach in a bowl game, you've got just one opportunity to nail your pre and post game speech.
USC's Clay Helton did just that, and him and the Trojan staff put together a game plan that stifled one of the nation's most productive offenses, and USC's talent ran away with the rest of the game, which ended up being 45-20.
After having three different head coaches this season, Helton hoisted the trophy in the locker room and told the team, "Know this...You did this. You had a mind set, you took it to the game, you knew you were going to win it. I couldn't be more proud. I know there are a lot of men, that aren't here, that are proud of you too...very proud."
When addressing the team before and after the game, Helton's passion for USC could not have been more evident, and having this unique experience in his back pocket will surely benefit him as a part of Steve Sarkisian's new staff.
Doug has been with FootballScoop for over a decade and currently serves as Director of Content. A former small college football player and college assistant, Samuels now serves as the head coach at Comstock Park HS (MI). He's married with two kids and lives just south of Grand Rapids in Byron Center, MI.

Stupid excuse or fraud. As it turned out after writing the complaint by the player, the casino filed a clarification to the player in which they said that they closed his account for the problematic verification of his identity.
In our opinion, it is not a good reason to create such situations. Extremely long player verification. The casino blocked the account of the self-excluded player after he had already made three deposits.
His winning was confiscated and his deposits were not returned. In this case, the casino was obliged to return to the player his deposits.
No reaction, good regulator. Problematic player verification, all funds confiscated. Uncertain case, good regulator. The player complained his account was used for a multiple unauthorised transactions to Eurogrand Casino.
He prevented the casino about the situation but the casino was not replying. His bank confirmed he was a victim of a fraud. In this case, we would advise the player to contact the bank to prevent such situations.
Delayed payment, status unknown. The player tried to withdraw money from her account but EuroGrand Casino delayed the payment of her winning.
The player won some money in EuroGrand Casino. She had to wait for one month before getting her money. All this time the casino has not responded to her emails, used strange apology and created problems for her.
This was not what we expected from a casino that was 12 years on market. Eventually, the money returned to her casino account.
Funds confiscated, miscommunication between the player and the casino. The player registered a real money account, won some money, asked for a withdrawal, was asked to send the necessary documents for the security verification.
Just the accusation of having breached the terms and conditions was not considered legit according to the player. The communication between the player and the casino was ineffective and they were not able to reach an agreement.
No more update since then. Casino reopened his account and let him play. In this case, it is hard to say who is in the right.
Player did not understand what he wanted from the casino. The only thing we can say in this case is that this casino needs to improve its self-exclusion policies.
No reaction from the casino. Complaints on related William Hill Casino Same owner. The player experienced a technical glitch while playing a game of roulette.
The player played a game of roulette and experienced a technical problem. When the player informed the casino about that, they asked them for proof.
They deposited more money, just to give the casino a proof, and took screenshots of the issue and sent it to the casino. The casino responded that there was no problem with that game, so the player deposited more money, won, but lost again due to the same problem.
The case remains unresolved. A player, Tammy, tried to receive her "invite a friend" bonus but was unsuccessful. The player, Tammydoll from New Zealand, tried to receive a "refer a friend" bonus.
Tammy was disappointed and thought it happened due to a technical glitch. Natalie has not been credited her winning due to the technical issue that happened while she played a slot game.
She became very frustrated and kept repeatedly contacting the casino, but never received a satisfying answer. The casino responded to this complaint but never resolved it.
Show 2 similiar complaints with 0 black points in total. The casino asked her to send in documents for verification.
She sent those documents but they asked for an additional document of proof of her income. The casino advised her to send her parents proof of incomes, so she did.
But still, the casino kept asking for her proof of income. In the meantime, she got employed and sent her proof of income to the casino.
After that, she was asked to translate the document and get it notary verified. She did so too, sent the documents, but the casino said that her income was not enough for her level of play.
Alina became very frustrated and was looking for any kind of help. There is no further update on this case.
When he requested a withdrawal, that was when all the problems started. The chat representative informed him that if he wanted to withdraw his winning through the payment method he chose, Quickcash, he needed to make a deposit to that account and he would receive a code which he would use for a withdrawal.
After the player followed these steps accordingly, the new problem begun. His withdrawal was sent to security and he needed to wait from hours.
Jamew18 asked to speak with the manager but the manager just confirmed these steps. The player went to the William Hill Casino personally just so he could prove his identity and that those winning did belong to him.
The casino representatives refused to tell the player anything. There is no update ever since. The player complained about never receiving their winning and the casino claimed that they already sent the winning to them.
The casino claimed that they did send the winning to them already. The player told the casino that they also checked with the bank and they confirmed that no money was received.
There is no update on this case. Show 2 similiar complaints with black points in total 16 for this casino. The casino gave the player false instructions and tried to cover their mistake.

#TwitterBan
Reps To Invite Lai Mohammed, Investigate Legality Of Twitter Ban
Written by darling on June 9, 2021
Members of the House Representatives have resolved to invite the Minister of Culture and Information, Lai Mohammed in a bid to investigate the legality of the Twitter ban by the Federal Government.
The decision was reached on Tuesday during plenary.
The Speaker of the House, Femi Gbajabiamila, in his speech directed the House Committees on Justice, Commerce, and Information to investigate the process that led to the suspension of the microblogging site.
The Speaker said the House recognises that Twitter is a very important means of communication.
According to him, the social networking service has been used for both good and bad and the legislature must make sure that the policies of government are in accordance with the law and do not have adverse consequences on the people.
He directed relevant committees of the House to constitute a single committee and commence investigation into the circumstances surrounding the ban, and its legality.
The committee, however, agreed to invite the Minister of Information on the matter.
While the deliberation was ongoing, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lawmakers walked out after its caucus leader, Kingsley Chinda was ruled out of order by the Speaker amid the rowdy session.
Mr. Chinda had prayed the House to urge the Federal Government to suspend the ban while the House investigation is ongoing as directed by the Speaker.
This comes after the Federal Government of Nigeria had last week announced the indefinite suspension of Twitter in the country.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed while announcing the suspension cited the persistent use of the platform for activities that are "capable of undermining Nigeria's corporate existence."
Following the announcement, telecom operators in Nigeria blocked the microblogging site Twitter, making users unable to have access to the website.
To this effect, some navigated the hurdle using Virtual Private Networks (VPN).
The decision of the Federal Government has led to various reactions from the envoys of the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union in Nigeria among others insisting that the suspension of Twitter, is a violation of the fundamental human right of freedom of expression.

Women lose out in the motor industry with those on the board paid 22% less than men
The Government's gender pay gap data has revealed the disparity
Honda has an all-male board and Toyota has just one female board member
Women represent fewer than 1 in 5 staff at UK car manufacturers and dealerships
By Harriet Dennys, Financial Mail On Sunday
Published: 17:17 EST, 4 August 2018 | Updated: 09:44 EST, 5 August 2018
Women in the motor industry are under-represented on boards and paid 22 per cent less than men, according to the Government's gender pay gap data.
The figures underline the disparity between the sexes in the week that Linda Jackson, global chief executive of Citroen, controversially said she is 'absolutely opposed' to quotas, which have been threatened if firms fail to tackle sex discrimination.
She slammed hardline feminists and elements of the #MeToo campaign.
Controversy: Citroen chief Linda Jackson is the first British woman to lead a major manufacturer in the car industry - where men still dominate
Jackson, 59, is the first British woman to lead a major manufacturer in the car industry – where men still dominate.
Honda has an all-male board and Toyota has just one female board member.

Real Madrid and Deportivo de La Coruña, the respective champions of last year's Liga BBVA and Liga Adelante, were the main winners of the 2011-2012 Professional Football League Awards, in which Barça's Argentinean player Leo Messi won the awards for best player and best striker for the fourth year running.
The LFP handed over its annual awards, which began four years ago, to the last season's best players. Another repeat winner was the former FC Barcelona manager, Pep Guardiola, who also won the award in the previous three seasons.
In Segunda, the best coach was Deportivo de la Coruña manager José Luis Oltra, and the best player was Juan Carlos Valerón, who has played for the Galician side since the 2000-2001 season.
The awards are decided by the votes of players and managers from the two divisions. The best player and best coach are voted by the players and the best players by position are selected by the more prestigious managers from a short-list drawn up by the LFP technical committee.
Real Madrid, which won the first division title, took home the awards for best goalkeeper with Iker Casillas, best defender with Sergio Ramos and best midfielder with Xabi Alonso.

How long does a divorce take in South Dakota and does it matter who files first?
It doesn't matter who files first. As to how long the case will take, that depends on whether it is contested or uncontested. An uncontested divorce means that both parties agree on absolutely everything such as child support, timesharing with minor children, division of property and debts and alimony, if any. In South Dakota a divorce cannot be finalized unless 60 days have gone by since the service of the summons. If the matter is contested, that is there are one or more issues which the Court has to decide, such as child support or alimony, etc., the case can take about 4-6 months or more to be heard depending upon the need for a child-custody evaluation.
If I am a South Dakota resident but temporarily reside out of state, can I still consider myself a resident for purposes of getting a divorce?
That issue will be up to the Court but if the Judge decides that you are truly a South Dakota resident who is for example working for a corporation outside the state, or visiting elsewhere for a short period, etc., you will probably still be considered a South Dakota resident and can get a divorce. On the other hand if the Court determines that you really have no intention of coming back, or that you realistically are permanently living elsewhere although you may travel back and forth to South Dakota from time to time, you probably will not be considered a South Dakota resident. Also, if you are in the military, the fact that you are stationed outside of South Dakota does not detract from your South Dakota residency.
What if I am not married to the parent of my child?
First, you need to establish paternity through scientific testing which can be ordered by the Court. Then child support and timesharing/visitation issues will be decided pretty much the same as in a South Dakota divorce case.
What is the first step towards getting divorced in South Dakota?
If you meet the residency requirements and your marriage is irretrievably broken, a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage is filed which outlines any claims that you have for things like child support, timesharing with minor children, alimony, division of property and debts, etc. In general, the other party has to be served with the papers by a process server and then the requirements of various court rules and procedures come into effect. Also, where children are involved, South Dakota law now requires that the parties complete a "Children and Divorce" type seminar or class.
You will save a lot of time, money and aggravation if you can get an agreement with your spouse on all issues such as child support, timesharing with minor children, division of property and debt and alimony if any. Obviously this is easier said than done but if you can do it, a lawyer can draw up a settlement agreement and the matter will be fairly inexpensive compared to a contested South Dakota divorce. If you cannot agree on one or more issues you will need to go to Court for the Judge to decide these issues. Try and sit down with your spouse and work out details. It may take several meetings to conclude matters. If you have a spouse that thinks they're going to run the show, remind them that only the Judge runs the show. And without threatening, remind them that this matter can be done the easy way or the hard way.
What if my spouse is violent or harasses me?
In an extreme situation of course the police must be called. Aside from that, in South Dakota there is a procedure for getting a restraining order if your spouse is guilty of certain conduct, without notifying your spouse of your efforts to get one. (consult the clerk of court or a lawyer) If the Court does issue a restraining order on this basis ("ex parte") there will be a hearing within a number of days after issuance of the restraining order where your spouse can come in to Court and defend themselves. This procedure can be used even before the divorce process begins. Once the divorce process begins, the Court can order your spouse out of the house if things are bad enough (especially where children are involved) as well as order your spouse to stay away from you. These matters have priority in the Court system and do not have to wait until the absolute end of the case.
There is a procedure for going into Court almost immediately after the divorce case is filed to get an order of temporary child support, alimony, or other relief, such as timesharing with minor children until such time as the case can be fully heard. Also, you can apply for a distribution of some of the marital assets while the case is pending, if there are extraordinary circumstances.
As to child support one must show a "substantial change in circumstances". What this often means is that your spouse's income has increased markedly, or that your income or financial situation has changed substantially.
Many cases are resolved at mediation. It is a lot cheaper to have a mediator involved with a case than to pay lawyers to do the great deal of work necessary to prepare for trial before the Court. Mediators cannot force a settlement on anyone but they can certainly use their skills to show people what would be a reasonable settlement, and further advise them as to what the Court may do if their is a trial. Sometimes it is just good to have a neutral party that both sides will listen to assist with the settlement negotiations. (Ideally, the mediator should be a lawyer well-versed in divorce issues, or at least a South Dakota Supreme Court certified mediator) You often shouldn't go to mediation though until the discovery process (depositions and the exchange of financial documents) has provided you with a complete picture of your family finances (including your spouse's) and all aspects of, and the strengths and weaknesses of your case.
Unless you have legal training or the case is extremely simple it is best to have a lawyer advise you. Without legal training it is difficult to know what your rights and responsibilities are. If you do not know what your rights are, you may not ask for them or you may agree to things that you don't need to agree to. Also, without a complete knowledge of the rules of evidence, you may not be able to get certain testimony or evidence admitted into Court and you may therefore lose on a particular aspect of your case, despite the fact that you were "right". Judges cannot help people practice law, and cannot relax the rules of evidence in Court just because you are not a lawyer.
You need to put in the petition for divorce in South Dakota that you wish to be restored to your maiden name. The Court can order that for example, as long as you are not changing your name to avoid creditors.
What if I cannot find my spouse? Can I still get a divorce?
Yes. After you conduct a diligent good faith search which is required by South Dakota law. (There is a standard list of reasonable steps that you need to take to find your spouse such as writing to the Department of Motor Vehicles and talking to family and friends who may know the whereabouts of your spouse. You also have to publish the matter in an appropriate newspaper for the appropriate period of time and then you will be able to get a divorce. However, the Court will not have the ability to order any division of property or alimony for example, until such time as your spouse is found and served with the papers.
First, you need to establish paternity through scientific testing which can be ordered by the Court. Then child support and visitation issues will be decided pretty much the same as in a divorce case.
What if I need temporary alimony or child support before the final hearing in my case, but my spouse will not pay?
There is a procedure for going into Court almost immediately after the case is filed to get an order of temporary child support, alimony, or other relief, such as timesharing with minor children until such time as the case can be fully heard.
How is child support calculated in South Dakota?
There is a formula in the statute which is known as the Child Support Guidelines. Basically the parties' combined net income is considered along with the number of children. The statute then gives a figure for the total support needed for the children. From this it can be determined how much support a parent will pay. The living expenses of the paying parent are not in general considered except in extreme circumstances.
In general the Courts have the discretion to deviate upward or downward but there needs to be legally sufficient reasons put forth by the Court..
What if my spouse will not let me see my children?
You can go to Court immediately to get the Judge to order visitation. A party can of course be held in contempt of Court for failure to honor a Court's visitation order. And if one does not honor visitation orders, that can be considered when the Court determines the parties timesharing rights regarding children.
Aside from timesharing, do I have a right to be involved in decisions concerning my children?
Yes, South Dakota law provides for "shared parental responsibility" where both parties have a say with regard to important child related issues such as health, education, religion, etc.
Can the Court order supervised visitation if a parent is a danger to the child?
Yes, but it is your burden to show that there is an actual danger to the child and not that you just happen to dislike the other parent. Also, Courts in general are not going to find that the child is in danger just because your spouse is bringing your child into the presence of their new romantic interest.
What if my spouse is not paying child support, can I deprive them of visitation?
In general the answer to this is no.
What if my spouse will not pay support as ordered?
The Court can order the support to be taken directly out of the person's paycheck and of course people can be held in contempt for failure to pay court ordered support. As well, a driver's license or other licenses can be suspended for failure to pay child support. Lastly, if a party is unemployed or underemployed and fails to pay court ordered support, the judge can order the party to seek employment and enter a job training or work program.
What if I haven't attempted to collect child support in years.
In general there is no statute of limitations on child support collection. But there is a concept known as "laches" that may preclude collection in cases where there's an extreme delay in efforts to collect and the other party is prejudiced by the delay.
How old does the child have to be before they can decide who they want to live with?
Children do not have the right to decide at any age. But a Court may well consider the wishes of a mature 12 year old, but not the wishes of an immature 15 year old. The Court is concerned with what is in the best interest of the child and not simply what the child wants. Sometimes however Courts feel, especially with much older children, that there is little that they can do to force them to live with someone.
Do I have to go to Court to terminate child support at either 18 or 19?
What if the children born during the marriage are not the children of both parties?
Children born during the parties' marriage are presumed to be the children of the parties unless that presumption is rebutted by proof that someone else is the parent. That proof can be in the form of a blood test/dna result or other testimony or proof, but in general scientific testing is the best evidence.
If it can be agreed by the husband and wife (or if it can be proven for example by the husband) that the Husband is not the biological father of a child born during the marriage, then there needs to be an action for termination of parental rights. A termination means that the Husband will not be the legal father of the child and he will have no rights or responsibilities regarding the child. (such as timesharing rights or child support responsibilities.) Note that it would be extremely difficult to come back after the divorce and allege that a child was not the child of the parties.
How is property divided in South Dakota?
As a general rule, property acquired during the course of the marriage is equitably divided regardless of who is to blame for the marriage dissolving.
How is responsibility for marital bills and debts decided?
The Court is usually required to order each party to pay an equal portion of the debts. The Court can order an unequal disribution of debt, but disparity in income alone is not grounds for an unequal distribution. If one party ran up some totally unnecessary bills, then they may be responsible for more than they otherwise would. But usually the Court will not sit there and determine who spent more money during the marriage. Be aware however that the credit card companies or other creditors can still come after you for your share of any debt that you are legally responsible for, despite the fact that the divorce judge ordered that your spouse should pay the particular bill.
If I move out of my home, and my spouse has the exclusive use of it, have I abandoned any rights and do I have to help with any of the mortgage?
You will not be abandoning any rights to the property by leaving. As to whether you will have to help with the mortgage or other home related expenses, you may be responsible for alimony or child support which practically speaking will be used for the mortgage. But aside from alimony and child support, you do have an obligation as a co-owner to contribute towards the expenses of this joint marital asset.
What happens if I own some property such as a house before the marriage and then put the property into joint names during the marriage?
In the case of a house, it is presumed that you intended to make a gift to your spouse and it will therefore be joint property to be divided upon divorce. You can try to rebut this presumption with proof that you put it into joint names for some other reason besides a gift. As far as money, if you take some that you had before the marriage and put it into a joint account, in general the Court is going to find that it is marital property subject to division between the parties upon divorce.
If my spouse gets to keep the marital home for whatever reason, can I still be held responsible for the mortgage?
Yes, if you were originally on the mortgage, in general your deeding the property to your spouse does not relieve you of the responsibility for the mortgage. Therefore, if your spouse fails to pay the mortgage the bank can come after you. You may want to talk to the bank about being removed from the mortgage but in general banks do not do this. Unfortunately this may mean that you will have a very hard time getting another mortgage if you want to but another home. The alternative is to ask the Court to order your spouse to refinance the property, but this may not be financially feasible.
Are pension or retirement program assets divided the same as other property?
Yes, in general pension rights (whether vested or unvested) and other retirement assets are divided on a 50/50 basis, although it can be a complicated process to divide them without incurring any liabilities for early withdrawal of the funds. And don't forget that $10,000 in a bank account is not the same as $10,000 in a pension or 401k type program. If you try and take money out of the latter, you may well incur penalties for early withdrawal and have to pay income tax on the money you take out.
What assets are subject to the 50/50 split?
Property acquired during the course of the marriage by one or both parties is basically subject to a 50/50 split unless there are extraordinary circumstances which require different percentages. There is usually going to be a 50/50 split even though for example one spouse worked ten hours a week while the other spouse worked forty. The acquired property will still be considered a marital asset. In general the Court is not going to start looking into how hard each party worked during the marriage to contribute, although in extreme cases the Court can consider the level of contribution.
Are gifts from one spouse to the other during the course of the marriage subject in general to a 50/50 split?
This can get rather complicated, but the easiest and most historically accurate answer is that if the property grows in value because of natural market forces or inflation, then no portion of the increased value will go to the other spouse. On the other hand, if for example the property involves a business, and the value of the business increases during the marriage because of the efforts of one or both parties, (or because of the contribution of marital assets) then that increased value may well be divided 50/50. The same example can be given for stocks or other assets. Although the stock or other asset may be the separate property of one spouse because it was attained prior to the marriage, or during the marriage through inheritance for example, if it can be shown that the efforts of either or both parties during the marriage led to an increase in value of the asset, then that increase in value may be divided 50/50. Note however that the South Dakota Supreme Court has ruled that the passive appreciation of a marital home during the marriage is a marital asset subject to division between the parties if the home was owned by one spouse before the marriage but the other spouse contributed to the property during the marriage. Thus an argument can be made that the passive appreciation occurring during the marriage of any asset owned by one party before the marriage might be subject to a division between the parties.
What if my spouse is hiding or wasting assets or I don't know what assets there are?
You may be able to get an injunction stopping your spouse from touching assets and records can be subpoenaed to uncover what assets there are. Also, if you can show that your spouse wasted marital assets, you may be entitled to a credit for your portion of what was wasted when the marital assets are divided at the end of the case. Each party needs to fill out and sign a sworn financial affidavit.(except in simplified dissolutions) If your spouse does not lie about the assets, you will get a complete picture of finances through this and other means.
Alimony is awarded when there is a need by one party for financial assistance and financial ability on the part of the other party to assist. In general, the longer the term of the marriage and the bigger the difference in earning capabilities of the parties, the more chance for an award of permanent alimony. Permanent alimony is for long-duration marriages if the statutory criteria are met, or for moderate duration marriages if appropriate based on clear and convincing evidence after consideration of statutory factors, It is also for short duration marriage upon written findings of exceptional circumstances. In the award of permanent alimony the court must make findings that no other form of alimony is fair and reasonable.
Also, as a general proposition, the longer the term of the marriage, the more successfully a party can argue that they are entitled to maintain the lifestyle that they are accustomed to and that they therefore need alimony. (However, an award of alimony may not leave the payor with significantly less net income than the net income of the recipient unless there are exceptional circumstances.) If it can be shown that the party asking for alimony is capable of making more money then they are earning however, that will be considered in determining the amount of alimony if any.
How do I get child support, alimony, or timesharing with minor children modified once it is set?
What if my spouse is committing adultery?
In general, the relevance of adultery is where you can show that they have spent marital funds (which you in general are entitled to half of) on the third party.


Actually there are several reasons to take the time, thought, and effort to organize your house, mainly the kitchen.
Let's take a look at how arranging things and keeping them into order can be beneficial, mainly in the kitchen.
Ability to Actually Get Stuff Done…Taking the time and effort to organize your kitchen will help you complete whatever needs to be done while you are in your kitchen more effectively and efficiently.
Knowing where things are will save you from having to rummage through your drawers to a certain utensil or gazing blankly in your cabinets for that one ingredient lost in the sea of glass jars and bottles.
You will be able to get dinner on the table in so much less time, and this might even make cooking dinner less of a chore and more of something that you actually look forward to.
Home Design/Decorating…How many times have you thought as you cook how much bigger you wish your kitchen were, when all the time your current kitchen would be just the right size if it were only decluttered and well arranged. Taking the time to declutter and rearrange will give you more space as you cook.
The kitchen is the "hub of the home" and the one room that is used most often by friends and family…Organizing this "hub" will be a great first move to creating a more attractive and inviting home altogether.
Also if you take the time to clean and organize your kitchen, other family members will know where things should go and be able to put them where they belong.

Q: How to make fast presentation of images in iOS? I found the way to generate movie from a bunch of images (iOS: How to generate a video file via images/audio?). But this is not an option for me. I want to present images from iPhone Photo Library in high speed (~0.2 secs per photo) without movie generation. Is it possible?

A: Not sure if this meets your speed requirement or even works but here goes:
cf/ Trying to change a UIImageView each 10 seconds
// more likely you will use a for loop to build this array
// (point is, make an array of images that you want to show)
NSArray *imagesToAnimate = @[imageOne,imageTwo, imageThree, imageFour ... imageN];

int numImages = [imagesToAnimate count];
double refreshInterval = 0.2;

// because 1 / (SECONDS/ IMAGE) = IMAGES / SECOND

double desiredFPS = 1/refreshInterval;

imageView.animationImages = imagesToAnimate;

// because IMAGES / (IMAGES / SECOND) = SECONDS

imageView.animationDuration = numImages/desiredFPS;

[imageView startAnimating];
[imageView stopAnimating];

Having never used the animationImages I don't know how it performs - I don't see why it wouldn't but maybe you have to do some low-level stuff to have the images "ready to go" instead of doing a read for each refresh. I would think though that the folks who designed this library would have done some performance tuning but I'm not sure.

A: You can use UIImageView's animationImages property :

"War! - huh- yeah-, What is it good for? Absolutely nothing, Uh-huh"
Although we must admire the sentiments in Edwin's song, in terms of creating a character for 2000AD he couldn't have been more off the mark. If your only knowledge of Rogue Trooper are the recent Gordon Rennie stories or the rambling nonsense that is the 'Friday' version, its time to become acquainted with the original G.I. and his Bio-Chips. Even if you are a battle hardened veteran of the early Rogue adventures this Graphic Novel, which collects the very early stories, is well worth having to hand. All stories are written by Gerry Finley-Day one of the unsung heroes of 2000 whose work is amongst the most talked about from 2000's early years but whose name may have been eclipsed by other writers. Artwork is Provided by artists who have all become better known for their work outside of the galaxies greatest comic; Dave Gibbons who's early visuals set the tone and standard that to this day are some of the best to grace Rogue, but when the collection also contains the names, Brett Ewins, Colin Wilson and the wonderful work of Cam Kennedy you can be assured that this book will look good from the very first page till the last.
The downfall of Rogue was that his mission to find the Traitor General would one day have to come to an end. Whilst he was a wanderer with a mission the character would fight Dredd for the mantle of best 2000AD story but once that mission was achieved Rogues adventures began to lose the excitement that these early stories conveyed.
"That's right-We're not going back yet."
The start of this book contains 'The Making Of Rogue Trooper' from the 1983 2000AD Annual, which will give you some insight into Rogue's development. Read this book and discover why Rogue Trooper became one of the best characters 2000AD ever produced, the mix of science fiction and future war would set a precedent that 2000 would find hard to match in its attempt to create any new character in this category.

Halal Seafood
Essentially all types of seafood are Halal suitable, based on verse 5:96 of the Qur'an, which states, "Lawful to you is what you catch from the sea and use for food as provision for yourself and for the travelers..." Because this states broadly that what is caught from the sea is acceptable, it includes plants like seaweed too! Of course, it excludes anything harmful, such as poisonous fish and plants of those that cause an allergic reaction – avoiding harm always trumps food permissibility.
Because they are acceptable, fish and shellfish are popular parts of dishes in many Muslim-majority countries. Seafood is also a popular option for Muslims around the world since it is a tasty protein option that avoids non-Halal meat. Since the permissibility of seafood is dealt with differently in the scripture than land animals, it does not require the same kind of religious ritual slaughter that is prescribed for other Halal animals such as cows, goats, and chickens.
This makes the determination of Halal suitability somewhat more straightforward, especially for whole fresh seafood products sold by trusted vendors.
However, like any processed food in the age of global supply chain, each unknown step introduces a layer of doubt. Much seafood is sold far from its point of origin, partially processed, and frozen. That makes it more difficult to determine what a product actually contains and to make any assumptions about the process. Were there unacceptable additives used to flavor or preserve the fish? If part of a prepared product, were they prepared on production lines that also process pork or other non Halal products? Might they even contain pork, wine, or other prohibited ingredients? For example, bacon is a common ingredient in many clam chowder recipes, and white wine is often used in cooking mussels and other fish.
Other processed seafood products like fish sticks or crab cakes might contain less obvious haram ingredients in the form of unacceptable flavorings or additives. And, while unlikely in many regions of the world, Halal certification also provides the assurance that the fish or shellfish being sold is completely safe to eat, and is not a species that could harm the consumer.
Aquaculture, or farmed seafood, also raises issues. Whereas wild-caught species are typically Halal suitable, farmed species could have potentially been fed pork or other impure animal byproducts, which would render them unacceptable by Halal standards. For example, European Union regulations allow fish to be fed with processed animal protein derived mainly from pigs and poultry, and these kinds of alternative protein sources are becoming more common due to the increase in wild-caught fishmeal prices.
Since over 50% of the global fish supply comes from fish farms, this is a bigger issue for Halal and other health conscious consumers than most people realize. Seafood is usually labeled as farm-raised or wild, which would help clarify this particular issue, but since it is a commonly adulterated food, Muslim consumers would be right to be wary of any uncertified products.
Major seafood brands have already realized that consumers are looking for the assurance of quality and purity that comes with Halal certification and adding it to their products. Peter Pan Seafood, for example, offers a wide variety of Halal-certified salmon products, and Chile, with its thousands of miles of coastline, is home to many Halal-certified salmon farms supplying a strong export market.
There is another element of seafood's treatment in Islam that makes Halal certification important. Interestingly, while all four major schools of Islamic thought consider fish Halal, one school, the Hanafi school of thought, considers non-fish creatures to be impermissible. This would include squid, octopus, mussels, and other similar sea creatures. However, many Hanafi scholars considered prawns and shrimp to be permissible because they have a vertebra and are considered "fish", though they and other creatures such as crabs and lobsters are debatable within their school of thought. This view is considered a minority view within Islamic jurisprudence, and many Muslim cultures enthusiastically include shrimp, crab, lobster and more in traditional dishes. Yet, it can lead to confusion in some cases for consumers who have heard conflicting opinions.
Since trusted Halal certifiers such as Islamic Services of America work closely with Islamic scholars, they are trusted by Muslim consumers to provide theologically accurate judgments on the acceptability of different products. This saves consumers the time and energy needed to evaluate each product individually. Halal certification helps clarify any uncertainty about whether or not your seafood-based products are acceptable.

Is Gmail the World's Greenest Email?
Preston Gralla
Friday, August 21, 2009 - 1:38pm
IT and consumer computer use are major worldwide contributors to carbon emissions --- and there's no doubt that email is responsible for more than its share of that total. And every time you send and receive email -- and even when you merely store email on a server -- you use energy. One person, though, says that if you want to go grown, you'd best go with Gmail as your mail system.
Over at OpenWeb Developer's Journal, Bob Gourley makes the argument that Gmail is the greenest email in the world. His argument is straightforward. Google does a remarkable job greening its massive data centers, using techniques such as water evaporation for cooling, adn in general streamlining their electrical infrastructure. He says "They even take the Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) out of their servers to lessen energy requirements."
The result of all this is extremely energy-efficient and green data centers. The most widely accepted measurement of power usage for data centers is Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE), which is calculated by taking the total energy used by a data center, and dividing it by the energy use of IT technology in the data center. The lower the PUE the better, and the lowest PUE possible would be 1.0. That's impossible, of course, because data centers need to be lit, cooled, and so on. But the closer to 1.0, the more energy efficient the data center.
Gourley says that Google has set an eventual PUE goal of 1.1 for its data centers overall, and already, some data center are down to a 1.11 PUE rating, which is remarkable. Microsoft is also a leader in PUE, and overall, Gourley says, the global PUE average for its data centers is 1.60, which is quite good as well.
Google takes other steps to reduce the carbon footprint of its data centers, such as using renewable energy in some of them, recycling their cooling water, and so on.
All this is why he argues that Gmail is the greenest email in the world --- it's powered by the greenest data centers. He also recommends Hotmail, because Microsoft's data centers are quite green as well.

room to grow: We Put a Dresser In The Living Room.
Way back in the summer of 2009, when we found out that we were pregnant, one of the first items we bought, and the first collaborative project that we worked together on for Hazel, was a pale green dresser.
...and now that dresser lives in our living room. Odd place for a dresser? Maybe. Or maybe it could become the next great trend. So, how did our baby's dresser end up in a location like that? Well, first of all, when I painted the thing, I neglected to paint the inside frame... and it made Hazel's clothes smell a bit funky. Secondly, the dresser is old- and probably was assembled before drawer gliders were ever thought of- so, if you're not careful, the heavy drawers could fall out on you- not the best feature to have for a mobile toddler. We agreed that we needed to get our growing child a new wardrobe system, and gave in and bought her an IKEA wardrobe (and it was on sale!).
Before I went to work, we agreed to have Jackie's mom come pick up the dresser, and put it in storage until we had a yard sale. When I got home from work, the dresser was in the living room... still there. With a sheepish grin, Jackie admitted that it was too hard to let go of the dresser, due to its significance. I admire that about her. And I'm glad we kept it.
The knobs, pictured above, are a vintage classic, and are a small detail that make the dresser such an incredible piece to have around.
Nesting in front of our hot pink wall, the dresser fits right in. It currently houses some of my gardening tools, and will eventually be a home for our table linens.
I know- a dresser in a living room- weird. But, it's become the perfect little hutch area, and is another resting place for pictures and other decorative accents- and best of all, it's a piece loaded with meaning and value to us! Once agian, this is a lesson for me that I am forever continuing to learn- listen to your wife the first time around. She's probably almost always right.

Herbert said late Monday the passage of the bill was a historic day in conservative Utah. He said in a statement a new regulatory system that helped win the approval of the influential Mormon church will dispense cannabis in "medical dosage form," preventing diversion into the black market.
Some medical-marijuana advocates, though, worry the system will throw up too many hurdles for suffering patients and have said they plan to file a lawsuit.
The changes passed Monday alter a voter-passed law under a compromise reached before Election Day.

Nearly 5,000 faults have been reported to telecoms provider Eircom as a result of strong winds and heavy rain across Ireland over recent days, and the company says it has deployed additional repair crews to work on faults around the country.
The areas with the highest fault levels are the north and western coastal counties of Donegal, Sligo, Mayo and Galway and the northeast counties of Louth, Cavan and Monaghan. In the southwest of Ireland, the worst-affected areas are west Cork and Kerry, Eircom said.
"Our repair crews are working hard to repair all faults as quickly as possible," Eircom said. "We would like to assure all of our customers we are making every possible effort to restore service as soon as possible and we will provide further updates in the coming days."
Eircom customers can log faults on the "Log a Fault" section of its website or through its automated customer service line, 1901. Faults can be reported to either service 24 hours a day, seven days week.


In July 2002 a retired US Army colonel who would be dead within months unburdened himself of twenty-two classified documents concerning war crimes in Vietnam.
In July 2002 a retired US Army colonel who would be dead within months unburdened himself of twenty-two classified documents concerning war crimes in Vietnam. The colonel didn't care for journalists, but he was fond of his neighbor in Springfield, Virginia, a Washington-based science reporter for the Toledo Blade. Those twenty-two documents laid the groundwork for a remarkable four-part series published in the Blade this past October–a series that meticulously reconstructed the activities of an elite US Army reconnaissance platoon and its descent into barbarism at the height of the Vietnam War.
The time was May to November 1967; the place was a highly contested region of Quang Ngai province in South Vietnam–less than twenty miles from My Lai, which would be devastated by American soldiers a few months later. The unit was known as Tiger Force, and its mandate was to annihilate Vietcong and North Vietnamese forces, insure that civilians were safely herded into "strategic hamlets" and–as the unit's slogan declared–to "out-guerrilla the guerrillas." Enraged by prolonged exposure to sniper fire, booby traps and high casualties, Tiger Force unleashed a reign of terror that left possibly hundreds of civilians dead. Because of its dispassionate tone and sturdy documentation–and because it was sponsored by an independently owned, financially troubled news organization–the Blade series bears a striking resemblance to Seymour Hersh's My Lai exposé, which was originally syndicated by the Dispatch News Service in 1969 (and later expanded into a book, My Lai 4). According to the Blade, elderly farmers were gunned down in rice paddies, grenades were hurled into civilian bunkers and prisoners were scalped and beaten to death with shovels. Ears were severed from the corpses of dead Vietnamese, and, with the help of shoelaces, transformed into ghoulish necklaces. "There was a period," the Blade reported, quoting a platoon medic, "when just about everyone had a necklace of ears." In the early 1970s the Pentagon, following a four-year investigation, determined that eighteen members of Tiger Force had committed war crimes, but none of the soldiers were ever prosecuted.
Despite its explosive findings, the Blade series–which was assembled from candid interviews with Tiger Force veterans and Vietnamese civilians, along with documents from the National Archives–was not a front-page story in leading American newspapers, most of which printed truncated summaries published by the Associated Press and Scripps Howard. (Only the Minneapolis Star Tribune, the Arizona Daily Star and a handful of others deemed the wire stories worthy of page 1.) National television greeted the series with silence. Hersh, writing in the November 10 New Yorker, lamented that this "extraordinary investigation…remains all but invisible." Prodded by Hersh, ABC jumped on the story with two fine segments by Peter Jennings and Ted Koppel, but for the most part the silence continued. The list of major news organizations that have yet to acknowledge the Blade series includes NBC, CBS, CNN, Time, Newsweek, U.S. News & World Report and the Wall Street Journal.
No mention of the Blade series appeared on the Times editorial page, a fact that was true for almost every other American newspaper as well. For passion, clarity and good sense, one had to turn to the editorial page of the Bangor, Maine, Daily News, a 65,000-circulation newspaper, which wrote, "The newly disclosed series of atrocities cries out for further investigation–not to punish the G.I.s but to fix blame and punish the superior officers who sent those soldiers on such bloody missions and have covered up the atrocities and their own complicity ever since." Declared an Austin American-Statesman editorial, "The army now must come clean about what happened and release all available reports, files and information." It says much about the timidity of our press that newspapers in Bangor and Austin–and not the New York Times, Washington Post or Los Angeles Times–had to take the lead in demanding further investigation into the behavior of soldiers who, by their own admission, committed horrific atrocities in Vietnam.


Novak Djokovic says his ailing right wrist is ready to go this week at the Rome Masters. Djokovic, who injured his wrist after winning Miami, had to withdraw from Madrid due to continued issues. But on the eve of the final big event before the French, the Serb is confident he can play up to his best again.
"I did not feel any pain four days before I was supposed to go to Madrid, though the medical team advised me not to go," Djokovic said. "I listened to what they said, because I wanted it to heal 100 percent.
After a poor start to the year, Djokovic picked up his play in March winning Indian Wells and Miami. Then with the wrist deteriorating he lost in the semifinals to Roger Federer in his Monte Carlo title defense.
Djokovic added that he and fiancee Jelena Ristic have yet to set a due date for the birth of their first child. Nor is there a wedding date.
Rafael Nadal: The Big 4 Won't Be Here Forever!
Wrists are tricky injuries. Ask Delpo. Have had one myself. Everything can feel ok in recovery and then you make contact with the ball with your racket a little late and the pain is so great you drop the racket. Me thinks he deserves some slack here, He is not a consistent excuse mongerer like Rafa when he loses or wins.
I just hope for the sake of Novak that everything is all right. To hear such words from him looks reassuring although as Skeezer has clearly stated wrist injuries are trickerous and I am keeping my fingers crossed. Only his performance in Rome can give us an insight as to the real nature of his recovery.
Well all the best Novak,and all the best for Rome,and hope the wrist is now ok….
Agree, skeezer, injury to the wrist can be very tricky. Guessing he has given time to hitting some heavy balls repetitibely to make sure there is not a hint of a problem, I hope. Trying not to worry about it. Also wondering about the plan for Kie – very glad he is skipping Rome.
But we are talking about super ambitious personalities with lots of self-imposed pressure and goals. We'll see very soon.
^ lol, spelling very bad this morning.
"He is not a consistent excuse mongerer like Rafa when he loses or wins"…….since when does a player give an excuse when they win? That sentence made no sense to me.
Joker was the constant excuse giver a few years back pre gluten free days. Remember when Roddick made a comment about Joker in a presser. So, Novak has played the injury card before……Oh how quickly we forget…..but then it all goes back to everyone's injuries are always worse than Rafa's……or even Rafa is faking and the others aren't……fort!
