(AP) ? Being a defending champion at Wimbledon has its perks ? none bigger than the honor of playing the opening match on the freshly manicured lawn of Centre Court.

Despite slipping on the slick grass and falling behind early in the first set, Novak Djokovic quickly gained his footing and played the commanding tennis that took him to his first Wimbledon title and vaulted him to the No. 1 ranking that he still holds.

Last year, after beating Rafael Nadal in the final, Djokovic grabbed some blades of grass and stuffed them into his mouth. This time, he celebrated quietly after defeating another Spaniard, dropping just seven games in a 6-3, 6-3, 6-1 win Monday over former No. 1 Juan Carlos Ferrero.

"It's a very unique feeling," Djokovic said of stepping onto the sport's most famous stage at 1 p.m. as reigning champ. "I think that's the first time I experienced that in my career. I think this is the only tournament that actually allows you to have information when you're playing 12 months in advance."

Following his loss to Nadal in the French Open final two weeks ago that ended the Serb's 27-match winning streak at Grand Slams, Djokovic came to Wimbledon without any grass-court preparation. He got off to a shaky start and lost serve to fall behind 2-1, but broke right back and took complete command.

"The grass was untouched," he said. "It was soft, so smooth. It was great to play in."

The atmosphere, too, was special when he came onto the court.

"It is quieter than the other center courts of the other Grand Slams," Djokovic said. "But you feel that tradition and the history of tennis, of sport, in this tournament, especially Centre Court. So many legends have won the trophies here, the trophies that made them big tennis stars."

While Djokovic paid tribute to the tradition, he also pulled off a very untraditional bit of gimmickry: taking a golf club with him onto the court.

As part of an inside joke with a sponsor, he pulled a club out of his racket bag and put it on the sideline when he arrived to face Ferrero.

"It was a little funny thing," said Djokovic, whose racket maker gave him a bag that has posts to make it stand like a golf bag. "Being creative, that's all. But fans corrected me right away. They said, 'This is not a golf course.' I said, 'OK.'"

Djokovic has won four of the past six Grand Slam tournaments, breaking up what had been the two-man dominance of Nadal and Roger Federer. The three players have combined to win 28 of the past 29 major titles.

"There is not anymore advantages in ... my favor, Rafa's, Roger's, whenever we are playing each other on any surface," Djokovic said. "We're all kind of equal, in a way. I think we have equal, 50-50, chances to win."

Day 1 passed off without a single rain delay, a relief after one of the wettest Junes on record in Britain.

Other winners included six-time champion Federer, top-seeded Maria Sharapova, four-time Grand Slam champion Kim Clijsters and No. 3 Agnieszka Radwanska.

Five-time champion Venus Williams lost and won't be playing in the second round at Wimbledon for the first time since her debut at the All England Club in 1997.

The highest seeded player to fall was No. 6 Tomas Berdych, the 2010 runner-up who lost 7-6 (5) 7-6 (4) 7-6 (4) to 87th-ranked Ernests Gulbis of Latvia.

John Isner, the 11th-seeded American, squandered a match point in the fourth set and was upset in five by Alejandro Falla of Colombia, 6-4, 6-7 (7), 3-6, 7-6 (7), 7-5. The result ruled out a second-round contest between Isner and Nicolas Mahut ? who played the longest match in tennis history here two years ago, and met again in the first round last year.

While Djokovic did the Centre Court honors on Monday, it will be defending women's champ Petra Kvitova's turn on Tuesday, opening against Akgul Amanmuradova of Uzbekistan.

Second-seeded Nadal was scheduled up next against Thomaz Bellucci of Brazil, followed by No. 4 Andy Murray against former top-10 player Nikolay Davydenko. On Court 1, fifth-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga was paired against 2002 champion Lleyton Hewitt, who has slipped to 202nd in the rankings and needed a wild card to enter Wimbledon this year.

A day after her sister was eliminated on Court 2, four-time champion and sixth-seeded Serena Williams was due to play on the same court against Barbora Zahlavova Strycova. Williams openly wondered last year why the sisters were put on Court 2 instead of Centre Court.

Venus Williams was eliminated 6-1, 6-3 by Elena Vesnina of Russia, the latest setback in her return to tennis after being diagnosed with Sjogren's syndrome, an autoimmune disease that can cause fatigue and joint pain.

Williams, who has fallen to 58th in the rankings, lost the first five games to the 79th-ranked Russian and, although she picked up her game and fought hard, was never able to turn the match around. Afterward, she insisted she still has the motivation to return to the top of her game.

"I feel like I'm a great player," Williams said. "I am a great player. Unfortunately I have to deal with circumstances that people don't have to deal with normally in a sport, but I can't be discouraged by that. I'm up for challenges. I have great tennis in me. I just need the opportunity."

The next chance will be the Olympic tournament, which will be played at Wimbledon three weeks after the end of the championships. Venus, who won gold in women's singles and doubles at the 2000 Olympics and bronze in doubles in Beijing four years ago, hopes to play both events again at the London Games.

"At the Olympics, you'll see me here," she said. "I'm planning on it."

Nicholas Ferroni: The Philosopher Who Indirectly Influenced Music ...

If you live on planet Earth and have access to a TV or radio, you are well aware of the story behind Adele's record breaking album 21. Just to make sure, Adele was so devastated after a breakup that, unlike most people who get dumped and turn into psycho stalkers, she decided to write an album with songs that could make the coldest hearted person cry like a teenage girl after getting dumped. This, however, is not the particular instance to which I am referring.

Adele is not the first person (and considering most songs are about being in love and heartbreak, and the remaining songs are about money or "swag," she won't be the last) to pour her heart out and express her emotions through her work, nor will she be the last person to turn personal heartbreak into fame and success. However, the person who has used his personal experiences as inspiration and not self-destruction, and who has had more of an impact on the music world than almost any other musician or artist is actually not a musician at all, but a philosopher. That's right; Friedrich Nietzsche, a nineteenth century German philosopher, probably deserves to win not only a "Lifetime Achievement Award" in music, but he is also deserving of dozens of Grammy's and an induction into every music genre's Hall of Fame.

What most people, and even most musicians, don't realize is that Nietzsche coined what can be considered one of the most used phrases in music and even society. In his book Twilight of Idols (1888), Nietzsche wrote "Was ihn nicht umbringt, macht ihn starker," which translates to English as "what does not kill me only makes me stronger." Not only is this phrase uttered and known by nearly every person in the civilized world, it has been the basis for more songs in more genres than any other phrase or quote (even more so than The Beatles' "All we need is love"). And, like Adele, Nietzsche's failures with love led him to adopt many of his philosophical views on love, life and even God.

Little did this "existentialist" know at the time, Nietzsche would be one of the most quoted people in history alongside Jesus and Confucius. He is not limited to being a "one hit wonder" of the quote world either; he has hundreds of gems and, for those of us who follow him on Twitter (@NietzscheQuotes), we enjoy his profound, pathetic and cynical words on a daily basis, and they are still extremely relevant. As a man who has had his share of rejection, I truly feel for him and his tortured soul. However, if his soul wasn't tortured, we wouldn't have the hundreds of songs that his quote has come to inspire.

So, thank you Friedrich Nietzsche, your words have helped and continue to help make artists such as Kelly Clarkson, Kanye West, Asia, Tupac and many more into award winners, and most of them I doubt would even know who you are. If only his family could find a way to cash in on the residuals and revenue acquired by using his iconic phrase? Whether it's Adele's song "Someone Like You," or Nietzsche's quote "Ah, women. They make the highs higher and the lows more frequent," it's safe to assume that the best revenge for being heartbroken is to become successful and famous, and the best way to do that is to write a song or something so profound someone will use it in a song. Though, I have also found that dating someone more attractive and successful than the person who dumped you works well too.

On a different note, for my superhero fans, Nietzsche also coined the term and concept of a "Superman," but I will save that for another blog entirely.

Toshiba Excite 13


Toshiba's new 13.3-inch tablet?isn't a desk, or a serving tray, or even really a tablet. After a couple of days of using it, I realized what it is. It's a TV. The Toshiba Excite 13 ($649.99 for 32GB, $749.99 for 64GB) would make a great portable TV. But it's too expensive to become a mainstream hit, and it's missing the apps which could deliver good-looking HD content to its huge screen.?

Physical Design and Networking
The largest tablet we've ever seen, the Excite 13 is awkward to hold, and even a little awkward in my lap. There's a reason this thing comes with a stand, a completely separate squarish chunk of metal that the tablet sits in. The tablet is slim, though, and slides easily into a backpack for transport.

As for actual numbers, the Excite 13 is 13.5 by 8.5 by .4 inches and 2.2 pounds. It's very well-built, with the same aluminum body found on the Excite 7.7 ($499, 3.5 stars) and Excite 10 ($449.99, 3.5 stars) tablets and a flat glass screen. There's a micro USB port for syncing, but to charge the tablet, you need the included unique, laptop-style power brick. The tablet also has a microHDMI port, full-sized SD card slot and headphone jack.

You have to think differently to figure out where to use the Excite 13, but once you get into the mindset, it becomes easy: You'd prop it up in the kitchen for recipes, you might stick it on a side table in a hotel room, or prop it up at the end of a dorm room bed.

One thing you don't really want to do is put it in your lap. The Excite 13 is a long, skinny rectangle, and it's just awkward to hold. When I put it in portrait mode on my lap to play a game, the end of the tablet went off the edge of my knees.?

Other than video playback, there's another potential market for this tablet. Because the 13.3-inch, 1,600-by-900 LCD screen packs a relatively low 133 dots per inch, text is pretty large, and the touch keyboard is just plain huge. That makes the Excite 13 a good choice for people with mildly impaired mobility or vision. The flip side of that, of course, is that some graphics (especially in games) look jaggy if you have your nose right up to the screen.?

The Excite 13 is a Wi-Fi-only tablet and connects to 802.11b/g/n networks, albeit only at 2.4GHz. You also get Bluetooth and?GPS, although the idea of tacking this monster to your dashboard is pretty funny.

Apps and Performance
Running on Nvidia's latest quad-core Tegra 3 processor, the Excite 13's benchmark results are absolutely killer. This is one of the fastest Android devices we've tested, and performance is impeccable. Tegra-enhanced games like Zen Pinball THD and Riptide GP play very smoothly.

But, as I mentioned earlier, the large, relatively low-DPI screen can make some graphics look poor. Some of this is the developers' fault; I downloaded some games from Nvidia's Tegra Zone, and it became painfully obvious that some of the images in the game Princess Punt THD were being scaled up, for instance. But I also found diagonal lines on the Zen Pinball flippers a bit jaggier than usual.

The 133 pixels per inch is actually higher density than the iPad 2's 9.7-inch 1024-by-768 131-ppi?screen. But it's lower than most 10-inch Android tablets, which have around 150 ppi, and much lower than most phones, smaller tablets, and the New iPad, which generally clock in between 215 and 330 ppi. Whether you see the screen as low-res depends on where your expectations are, and devices like the 215-ppi Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 ($699, 3.5 stars) and upcoming 224-ppi Asus and Acer tablets have raised my expectations.?None of this mumbling about pixels per inch matters if you're sitting more than about two feet away from the tablet, though.?

Toshiba didn't do much to alter Android 4.0 here, only adding some pre-loaded apps, most of which you can ignore. There's a Flipboard-like news app, a Blio-powered book store, a file manager, and a custom DLNA-enabled media player with a better file viewing layout than the standard Android media player.

The Excite 13's size means it can pack a very large battery, and we got excellent battery life results?8 hours and 38 minutes playing a video with the screen on maximum brightness and Wi-Fi turned on. That's longer than the new iPad, which only managed five and a half hours on max brightness. The difference? The new iPad's super-high-res screen is a power hog.

Quake in southwestern China kills 1, injures 10

State media say a moderate earthquake in a mountainous part of southwestern China has killed one person and injured 10 others.

State media say a moderate earthquake in a mountainous part of southwestern China has killed one person and injured 10 others.

The official Xinhua News Agency says the magnitude-5.7 quake struck Sunday afternoon and was centered near the border of Yunnan and Sichuan provinces. It says the casualties occurred in Yunnan's Ninglang county but gave no details.

The U.S. Geological Survey measured the quake at magnitude 5.5.

A magnitude-5.8 quake in Yunnan in March last year killed 25 people and damaged thousands of homes. The area is about 2,340 kilometers (1,450 miles) southwest of Beijing.

China's worst earthquake in recent years struck Sichuan province in May 2008 and registered magnitude 7.9. It left nearly 90,000 people dead or missing.

Tips To Help You Navigate The Commercial Real Estate Market

Consider location when purchasing commercial real estate. Even if the location is small, as long as it is in a popular area you will be able to get your investment back plus some if you ever choose to sell. You will also have an easier time of leasing it as it will be in high demand. Spend lots of time investigating the area. Ask questions like: Does it have a lot of foot-traffic? Is there plenty of parking? What is the crime rate?

If you plan on getting in a commercial real estate lease, you should be sure you have a kick-out clause, which concerns breaking the lease at an earlier date. With a kick-out clause, you have the flexibility to pay a penalty if something were to occur, instead of having to pay the entire full term lease.

You should be in no rush to complete a commercial real estate deal as they can take a long time to complete. You should take extra time when deciding on a location to buy as well! It?s a big purchase and should not be rushed into with emotions at the controls.

It is important to think like a professional in commercial real estate. Understanding that commercial real estate brings in a larger cash flow with multi-residential properties is key. For example: renting an one home property does bring in sufficient cash flow, but renting out a large complex of properties ie. apartments, brings in a lot more.

It is possible to lose your due diligence money, so be prepared. Once your offer is accepted, you will have a certain amount of time to do your due diligence. You will get an inspection, an appraisal, inspections and other tests. These are very expensive. You might spend many thousands on the deal, to find out you do not want to purchase the property after all. It is better to back out before doing a bad deal, but these kinds of expenses are always possible.

Before you put your real estate on the market or look at buying a new lot, make sure that you have consulted with the FHFA. This will help to give you a general idea of the value of the real estate from an impartial organization. Remember, however, that this value is definite but should be used merely as a guideline.

Upon visiting properties that you have the most interest in, come as prepared as possible and make sure to ask the more important questions first. You will want to get these in, given the time restraints that you may have. Respect both the purchase that you are going to make and the seller, to maximize your deal.

Research the different options available in commercial insurance. The type of policy that you need depends on many different things including whether or not customers visit your work site and the number of vehicles that you use. Your total number of employees also makes a difference. Paying attention to these variables will help you choose the right type of coverage.

Make sure that you can prove that a property is a solid investment when you go looking for financing. Your word alone isn?t going to cut it when it comes to the dollar amounts that you will be looking for. Have the property appraised, include information about past income on the property, and make sure you have a solid business plan for profitability.

When investing in commercial real estate, you want to be sure you hire the correct professionals that are most suitable. If you can find an attorney who understands the legal issues and risks you have when you invest, you will minimize your risks. Hiring the best attorney is a great investment to make before investing in real estate.

There are so many apps now which benefit your commercial real estate deals, so get an iPad and start using them! For example, the Noterize app permits you to alter documents right on your iPad without ever having to print them, including notarizing and redlining. Get up to date and increase your efficiency.

When you are financing your commercial real estate endeavors, you want to ensure you can make all the necessary payments that are needed to keep your business running. If you can not make all the payments or you are not sure if you can, then you should search for other investment opportunities because it is inevitable that you will go bankrupt.

So, after reading and applying the helpful tips listed above, you should feel a bit more at ease in the land of commercial property ownership. You have the tools; it?s time to use them. You should feel empowered and ready to begin owning commercial property much smarter to avoid unexpected issues that could cause you to lose money.

The act of preparing is more important as opposed to strategy by itself. We have, during my profession inside emergency management, came across many litigant which waits with patience while We look at their particular facility, appointment workers, examine urgent situation caution methods and products, and evaluate the risks inherent to their functional environment then, probably days afterwards, when I produce the specialised emergency response methods guide book, tend to be happy at the final results.

10 FAQS: About the Senior Move Manager - Dawson Relocation ...

1. What is a senior move manager?

A senior move manager is a professional who has the experience, availability, organizational skills and resources to make the move run efficiently. Most importantly, the manager has the know-how and objectivity to help with what can be a very emotional process of sorting through possessions.

2. What does a senior move manager do?

The senior move manager can assist you with all or some of the many tasks involved in making the move as smooth and as stress-free as possible. She can provide direct and supervisory support for every aspect of your moving project, from coordinating house staging with a real estate agent, to creating floor plans, sorting and organizing, arranging for sales and donations, and then of course setting up the new home after the move.

3. How far in advance of my move should I contact a senior move manager?

4. How do you work with family members who may not entirely agree on the decisions to be made about the move?

A senior move manager is trained to provide guidance and facilitate effective and calm decision making under the pressure of short timelines and different points of view among the family members.

5. How much will a senior move manager add to my moving costs?

The senior move manager does add costs to the move that depend greatly on the size of the project. However, the more complex a move, the more a senior move manager can save the client in time and money by bringing efficiency, experience and speed to each step of the process.

A senior move manager can provide a free initial consultation to discuss the project and determine how she can provide services to support your needs.

8. ?What if my family and I are able to do most of the work of the move to save expenses, but need some help with the move?

Have an open and direct conversation during the initial consultation with the senior move manager. This is the best way to address budget and concerns so that she can help you structure the project to meet your needs.

A senior move manager is much like a general contractor for you project, with particular training and expertise working with seniors and their families.

After the move, clients are delighted to find all their belongings carefully placed in their new homes exactly where they desired, with no detail overlooked ? even the clocks are set and electronics set up and working. This relieves the stress of the move and allows the clients to more quickly settle in to their new homes.

10. Can a senior move manager help us with a house sale/auction for valuable items we can?t take with us?

A senior move manager often provides assistance with sales and auctions of valuable items not being moved to the new home. Sometimes this might take the form of direct help, and can involve identifying local resources to handle such tasks.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) ? Vice President Joe Biden tells a gathering of black journalists that Republican presidential challenger Mitt Romney's economic platform shows he is out of touch with the nation's middle class.

Biden said during his speech Wednesday night at a National Association of Black Journalists convention in New Orleans that Romney wants to grow the nation's economy "from the top down" by deregulating Wall Street and cutting taxes for the wealthy.

The vice president calls Romney "an honorable man" with a "beautiful family" but says that the former venture capitalist doesn't understand what's happening to ordinary Americans.

Biden also touts the Obama administration's record on job growth, saying that he and the president believe the economy cannot be truly health until the "profound erosion" of middle-class jobs and income is reversed.

Chinese crew passes first space docking test

China performed its first-ever space docking involving a piloted spacecraft on Monday, joining the ranks of history's two greatest spacefaring nations, the United States and Russia.

China's Shenzhou 9 space capsule ? which launched Saturday carrying three astronauts, including the country's first female spaceflier ? linked up automatically with the unmanned Tiangong 1 space lab just after 2 p.m. Monday Beijing time (2 a.m. ET), according to CCTV.

The only other countries to pull off an orbital docking with a manned spacecraft are the United States and then-Soviet Russia, which first did so in 1966 and 1969, respectively.

Shenzhou 9 was to dock with Tiangong 1 twice. The plan called for the first hookup to be conducted in automated mode, following the pattern set last November during an all-robotic docking between Tiangong and an unmanned Shenzhou 8 craft. At some point, the two spacecraft will separate, and the three taikonauts, as China's astronauts are known, will perform the second docking under manual control.

Forty-six-year-old Jing Haipeng leads the taikonaut crew, which also includes Liu Wang, 42, and 33-year-old Liu Yang, China's first female astronaut. All are members of the Communist Party of China and former pilots with the People's Liberation Army; Jing flew on China's last manned spaceflight, which took place in 2008.

Two of the taikonauts will live aboard Tiangong 1 during the 13-day mission, while one will stay aboard Shenzhou 9 at all times in case of emergency.

Shenzhou 9's flight is considered a key step in China's plan to build a permanently staffed space station in Earth orbit. The nation hopes to have a 60-ton station and up and running by 2020. (For comparison, the International Space Station weighs about 430 tons.)

Shenzhou 9's mission is China's fourth manned spaceflight, following taikonaut launches in 2003, 2005 and 2008. Another manned mission to Tiangong 1 ? which launched to orbit in September 2011 ? could come later this year, Chinese officials have said.

Why do some groups of species diversify -- in just a few thousand years -- to the point of forming a wide variety of new species, while others remain essentially unchanged for millions of years? This is one of the key questions for scientists investigating the emergence and decline of biodiversity. From various studies, it is known that speciation is influenced both by environmental factors (e.g. habitat diversity, climate) and by species-specific traits (e.g. coloration, behaviour patterns). However, little is known about how the extrinsic and intrinsic factors interact.

These interactions have now been explored in more detail by a team of researchers led by Eawag and the University of Bern. In a study published in the latest issue of Nature, they demonstrate for cichlids from 46 African lakes that the probability of diversification, or "adaptive radiation," depends on a combination of environmental factors and sexual selection. African cichlids are particularly suitable for this type of study because of the extremely high species richness that developed over time from what was originally a small number of species in large African lakes. For Lakes Victoria and Malawi alone, more than 800 endemic cichlid species have been recorded.

According to the study, diversification is more likely to occur in deep lakes and in areas with relatively high solar radiation. By contrast, lake size has practically no influence on the likelihood of speciation -- which is surprising, as speciation in terrestrial species is known to depend in part on the available habitat area. Among the species-specific traits, the intensity of sexual selection (mate choice) was shown to be a key factor, as indicated by the association between sexual dichromatism (distinctive coloration of males and females) and diversification.

If the relevant ecological factors coincide with sexual selection, the divergence of species is most likely to occur. The speciation process is thus, to a certain extent, predictable. At the same time, these findings also make it possible to predict adverse impacts of human activities on biodiversity -- for example, if the habitable depth of lakes is altered as a result of pollution or the lowering of water levels rates of species formation will decline and existing species diversity is expected to collapse.
