Like I said, I'm just here to focus on the tennis. I'm just here to play Wimbledon. It's the premier tournament in the world, of the year, so that's what's most important."It felt good to be playing tennis again. I love playing here. Being defending champion is always a special moment for 12 months knowing that you're going to play at one o'clock on Tuesday."

Citing distraction, decline, Cubs designate Marmol

Carlos Marmol, the embattled closer who ranks third in Cubs history with 117 saves, was designated for assignment Tuesday after the team decided it had enough.The Cubs recalled outfielder Brian Bogusevic from Triple-A Iowa to take his spot on the roster.General manager Jed Hoyer said they have tried to deal Marmol since last August, but there are no takers. The right-hander posted a 1.52 ERA after the All-Star break in 2012 and opened this year as the closer, but lost the job after struggling in the first week. He blew a three-run lead in the ninth on June 16 against the Mets that resulted in a 4-3 loss, made one more appearance Thursday against the Cardinals, in which he was efficient, throwing 11 pitches (nine strikes), and that was it."He had a really good second half last year,cheap men's tshirt wholesale and no one bid at the August deadline, and we didn't have any offers other than someone else's undesirable contract for ours," Hoyer said. "There was a lot of talk about trade value and things like that, but that's something we'd given up on long ago."He did provide value for us pitching in the middle of the game. He had struggles that frustrated people at the end of the game. We held out on this move for a long time in part because with his salary, he was providing solid innings in the sixth and seventh. The decision really came down to it had become a distraction. It became hard to pitch as well as he could because every time he threw two balls, he'd get booed, and I don't think that's easy for anybody."I think it became difficult for his teammates, because there was a little bit of a sideshow mentality to it. We felt it was the right time. It had become a distraction and he wasn't able to pitch late in the game for us. That was really the decision."Cubs manager Dale Sveum said Marmol handled the news Tuesday morning professionally and thanked the Cubs."Obviously, he hasn't had the slider he had when he first was closing, so it's more difficult to close out games, but there's something there that can still help people and maybe a change of scenery can help," Sveum said.Kevin Gregg, who is 11-for-11 in save situations since taking over the job, said he hoped Marmol could find another team."He was kind of beating his head against the wall here," Gregg said. "The chance to get that fresh start, I think, will be good for him. 

"He's a great guy, a stand-up guy.velour tracksuits wholesale He wears his heart on his sleeve. He's great with fans. You always see him signing autographs, you always see him interacting with everybody. It's part of the game. It's unfortunate. I think he'll be able to turn the corner and get his feet underneath him."Marmol replaced Gregg as the Cubs' closer in 2009, and now they've switched places."I could sympathize with him," Gregg said. "It's a tough position to be in. When I was in Baltimore last year, it was the same thing for me. Getting my feet underneath me and a fresh start was all I needed."Gregg, who began this season with the Dodgers, then was released because they didn't have a roster opening, knows only too well the roller-coaster ride closers go on."We do our job and nobody says anything; we don't do our job, and everyone puts you under a microscope," he said.This season,cheap abercrombie wholesale Marmol was 2-4 with a 5.86 ERA in 31 games, and 2-for-5 in save opportunities. Win or lose, save or not, he was always present in the clubhouse to answer questions post-game.Sexy Lingerie Factory"The guy gave four really,Wholesale Lingerie Sexy Lingerie really good seasons to the Cubs," Hoyer said. "It kind of bums me out when I read some of the comments people make about his career in Chicago, because they forget how dominant he was for four years. Frankly, I feel a lot of his ineffectiveness now is related to the fact that he was ridden so hard when he was at his best."He gave a lot to the Cubs and had a really good Cubs career."The Cubs now have 10 days to either place Marmol on waivers, release him or trade him. Gregg is hoping Marmol finds a new team."I'm excited for him," Gregg said. "I think it's what he needed. He wanted to do it here. I think this is going to be good for him. As a friend, I think this is his chance to step back and look at himself in the mirror and say, 'I can still do this,' and that little breath of fresh air will help him out."

Final: Red Sox 11, Rockies 4

The Red Sox opened their nine game home stand by pounding the Colorado Rockies, 11-4. Jacoby Ellsbury (3 for 5, three runs), Dustin Pedroia (3 for 5, three RBIs) and Jose Iglesias (3 for 5, two RBIs and a run) poured it on for the Sox, who came in having lost four of their past five games.In easily his shortest outing of the season, Rockies starter Juan Nicasio was roughed up by the Sox, who tagged him for seven runs on 12 hits over a disastrous 2.1 innings.Meanwhile, with the Sox offense clicking, Ryan Dempster was able to work comfortably through six innings,canada goose jacket women giving up just two runs on six hits while striking out four to up his record to 5-8.End of the seventh, Red Sox 10, Rockies 4:There aren't too many more ways to describe what Jose Iglesias is doing these days. He's 3 for 4 with a double, two RBIs and two runs scored.His Wall single started what would turn into a two-run inning for the Sox. After Jacoby Ellsbury followed up with an infield single, and Shane Victorino moved them over with a comebacker, Dustin Pedroia drove Iglesias in with a fly ball to center. With first base open, David Ortiz took an intentional walked (a move that led to boos from the Fenway crowd). Mike Napoli took advantage of a two-out situation, coming up with a single to score Ellsbury.End of the fifth, Red Sox 8, Rockies 2: For the first time all night, the Rockies manage to hang a zero. Adam Ottavino got fly balls out of Shane Victorino, Dustin Pedroia and (after walking David Ortiz) finally Mike Napoli to make it a clean inning.End of the fourth, Red Sox 8, Rockies 2: Stephen Drew thought he had his sixth homer of the season. The umpiring crew thought differently, and after reviewing the shot to center, called it a triple.Lululemon Women's PantsUltimately, he'd come around to score a batter later on Jose Iglesias's double. As if you need any more numbers to tell you how well Jose Iglesias has been, this is his 17th multi-hit game of the season, tops among American League rookies.End of the third, Red Sox 7, Rockies 1: After watching Juan Nicasio give up 12 hits and seven runs in 2.1 innings, Walt Weiss finally decided to pull his pitcher out of the fight.Shane Victorino tagged him for an RBI single. Dustin Pedroia's run-scoring base hit gave him three hits and three RBIs in three innings. 

It's the 15th time in his career that Pedroia's put up three hits and three RBIs in the same game, and the first time since last August.Middle of the third, Red Sox 5, Rockies 1: How absurd was the jumping-jack catch that Dustin Pedroia made to rob DJ LeMahieu of what looked like a line-drive single to right? Pedroia had use his glove to hide his grin.End of the second, Red Sox 5, Rockies 1: Considering he had Shane Victorino down 1-and-2 and was a strike away from ending the inning, things went about as poorly as possible for Nicasio.Victorino ripped a double to to left, which would be the first of three straight two-out doubles and five straight two-out hits for the Red Sox in a three-run inning.Dustin Pedroia and David Ortiz both drove in runs with their two-out doubles, and Mike Napoli plated Ortiz with a bloop single that found a home in right.With a .252 team average, the Red Sox by no means the best two-out hitting team in the American league (they're actually seventh) and Nicasio isn't necessarily a bad pitcher with two outs (.lululemon224 average against and 20 strikeouts), but the Sox made him look like one.Middle of the second, Red Sox 2, Rockies 1: You've probably heard this one before. Ryan Dempster gave up a solo homer.Nike Air MaxThis time Wilin Rosario smacked his 3-and-1 slider over the Wall to get the Rockies on the board.Dempster's given up 17 homers this season. Only two of them have come with men on base. Also, those 17 homers? All by 17 different batters.End of the first, Red Sox 2, Rockies 0:The Sox first run was more or less right off the assembly line. Dustin Pedroia stroked a double to left, Shane Victorino moved him over with a sacrifice bunt and Dustin Pedroia drove him in with a single through the right side of the infield.Wholesale nike shoesThey seemed like they were in line for a pretty big inning when Rockies starter Juan Nicasio dug himself into a nice little hole with a four-pitch walk to David Ortiz, and a five-pitch walk to Mike Napoli that loaded the bases.But Daniel Nava's RBI single was all they could get out of it. Nicasio's given up 19 runs in his past six starts and hasn't won since come away with a win in more than a month.

Market insiders expect new home sales steadily up

Real estate market insiders expected China's new home sales to trend steadily up over the course of this year as major listed developers posted robust sales in May.The real estate giant China Vanke Co. said in a report in early June that it reaped a sales revenue of 70.18 billion yuan (11.39 billion U.S. dollars) in the January-May period, up 42.6 percent year on year.Evergrande Real Estate Group also sold about 1.3 million square meters of housing for a total of 34.19 billion yuan, completing a reasonable share of its 100-billion sales target for the year, according to Saturday's edition of China Times.By the end of May, leading developers such as China Resources Land Limited and Poly Real Estate Group had completed about half of their annual sales target. Smaller industry players like Sunac China and CIFI Holdings (Group) Co. advanced at a similar pace, achieving 42 percent and 46 percent of its respective yearly target.The Chinese government tightened controls over the property market in the past months, highlighted by a guideline released in early March urging local authorities to implement measures including a 20-percent tax on capital gains from property sales. The measure was meant to, among other things,The clarity of a diamond determines how much of light is lost inside a diamond because of an inclusion vacuum bottlethe clarity of the diamond lower will be its grade. curb speculative property buying."The measures have dampened market demand to a certain extent, but the overall market sentiment was good in May," China Times cited Mou Zengbin, chief analyst at real estate consulting firm CRIC's Beijing center, as saying. 

According to China Times, many developers raised their 2013 sales targets at the beginning of the year, but Mou said new home market was not affected much by the property controls, forecasting 70 percent of developers will be able to complete their half-year sales targets by June.Chen Guoqiang, vice president of China Real Estate Society said that sales of major developers remained steady because they have fine-tuned their products and sales strategy after the property control measures were rolled out.Official data showed a total of 2.59 trillion yuan of commodity houses were sold in the first five months of this year,The gamut uses of these chemical compounds prevail to expand and variants of carbon sheet are consistently being developed to fit the requirements of industries and products they are utilized in. marking a 52.8-percent rise year on year but slower by 7 percentage points from the growth registered in the January-April period.Mou said the transaction volume will expand as market supply increases, and the prices are likely to trend up.Wallpapers and textures can be also used to design walls and flooring of your Clawfoot tub faucets if you are using vintage style for bathroom remodeling New York.In the current market scene, these prepreg are bought and sold in most local hardware shops and are utilized as coatings for floors or binder in counter tops.

Philippines Holds Policy Rate as Capital Outflows Buffet Stocks

Philippine Finance Secretary Cesar Purisima talks about the outlook for the nation's economy, the government and the central bank's policies, and the local currency. Philippine growth unexpectedly quickened to the fastest pace in almost three years, defying a regional slowdown as President Benigno Aquino boosted investment and state spending.

Goldman Sachs Eyes Japan Offshore Wind in Clean Energy Expansion

Japan Renewable Energy Co. was set up by Goldman in August after Japan began offering above-market rates to producers of clean energy. The incentives, or feed-in tariffs, have spurred investments in renewables, setting Japan on course this year to become one of the world’s largest solar markets by annual installations.The company sees offshore wind as promising,Vintage style remodeling Clawfoot tubs items are widely available in market these days which makes it possible for us to design interior of bathroom with same style. Shigeru Yasu, a representative director at Japan Renewable Energy, said in an interview in Tokyo yesterday. Geothermal and biomass power also hold potential, he said.“It takes three to four years to do an environmental impact study for an onshore wind project with more than 10 megawatts of capacity,The gamut uses of these chemical compounds prevail to expand and variants of carbon sheet are consistently being developed to fit the requirements of industries and products they are utilized in.” Yasu said. “Projects with larger capacity are more attractive because an environmental study requires the same amount of time even for a 500-megawatt offshore farm.”Japan Renewable Energy plans in the next five years to invest as much as 50 billion yen directly into clean energy projects with capital provided by GS Infrastructure Partners. It will take as much as 250 billion yen of loans for project financing, Takahisa Nakagawa, also a representative director at Japan Renewable Energy, said in the interview. The investments and loans will amount to about 1,000 megawatts of clean energy, he said.Wind power is more challenging than solar for a developer because it requires prior investment such as an environmental impact study, Nakagawa said, adding that his company has the advantage of having people with expertise in wind power. 

Japan’s offshore wind market -- 31 megawatts in cumulative capacity -- lags behind countries like the U.K. and Denmark with 3,093 megawatts and 923 megawatts of capacity, respectively, according to 2012 data compiled by Bloomberg.The substance utilized in making the vacuum bottle or thermal flasks could be in different variations like plastic, glass or even a metal.Offshore wind typically requires approval from local fishermen before projects can move ahead and costs more for installation and maintenance than onshore wind.Japan Renewable Energy is considering more than 300 megawatts worth of solar projects, Nakagawa said. The company will use panels by LS Industrial Systems Co. (010120), a South Korean electric and industrial equipment maker, at least for its first four plants.LSIS was picked because it offers quality products for less compared with Japanese makers and because panels aren’t the only product the company produces, the officials said.“There are big pureplay solar panel companies that went bankrupt and that’s worrisome,” Yasu said. “Even though a company offers 20 years of warranty, it’s no good if the company won’t be around 20 years later.”Japan is set to overtake Germany as the world’s largest solar market,Wallpapers and textures can be also used to design walls and flooring of your Clawfoot tub faucets if you are using vintage style for bathroom remodeling New York.

Cumulative global solar energy installations reached 102 gigawatts for the first time in 2012, according to preliminary BNEF data.

S. Korea's job growth slows on sluggish economy

Job creation in South Korea slowed last month as the manufacturing industry added fewer jobs, reflecting the sluggish economy, a government report showed Wednesday.The total number of people employed increased 265,000 from a year earlier to 25,398,000 in May after growing 345,000 in the prior month, according to the Statistics Korea. From a month before, the reading reduced 25,000.Fewer employment among manufacturers led the overall weakness in the labor market.The substance utilized in making the vacuum bottle or thermal flasks could be in different variations like plastic, glass or even a metal. The manufacturing sector created 105,000 jobs in May after adding 165,000 workers in the previous month.The service industry employed 189,000 workers last month, slightly up from a rise of 184,000 employees in the prior month. Despite the slight increase, the Ministry of Strategy and Finance said in a statement that job growth in the sector trended down recently.Reflecting the lower job growth, hiring rate fell 0.1 percentage points from a year earlier to 60.4 percent in May. The employment rate measures the percentage of working people to the working age population, or those aged 15 and over. It is used as an alternative to the jobless rate for assessing labor market conditions."The May job growth slowed, but it should be considered that the Buddha's birthday holiday was included in the survey period of May 12-18,Wallpapers and textures can be also used to design walls and flooring of your Clawfoot tub faucets if you are using vintage style for bathroom remodeling New York." the Finance Ministry said.The country's labor market conditions were improved more or less from the first quarter, but it remained to be seen whether the improving trend would continue given the weak momentum of economic recovery, the ministry noted.The South Korean economy marked the zero-percent range growth for eight straight quarters in the first quarter, leading the finance ministry to unveil an extra budget plan worth 17.3 trillion won (15 billion U.S. dollars) along with other stimulus packages for boosting investment and job creation.Unemployment rate, however, declined 0.1 percentage points from a year earlier to 3 percent in May. The number of unemployed, who failed to land work despite job-hunting efforts, reduced 9,000 to 797,000 last month. 

The fall in the jobless rate was attributable to a rise in the economically inactive population, indicating that more people gave up seeking jobs amid the tough labor market conditions. The participation rate was 62.3 percent in May, down 0.2 percentage points from a year earlier.The jobless rate gauges the percentage of people unemployed who actively sought jobs over the past four weeks to the economically active population,Vintage style remodeling Clawfoot tubs items are widely available in market these days which makes it possible for us to design interior of bathroom with same style. or the sum of people employed and those unemployed.Unemployment rate among those aged between 15 and 29 fell to 7. 4 percent in May compared with 8 percent in the same month of last year.The economically inactive population, or people aged over 15 minus the economically active population, grew by 273,In the current market scene, these prepreg are bought and sold in most local hardware shops and are utilized as coatings for floors or binder in counter tops.000 in May from a year earlier after rising 269,000 in the prior month.The number of job preparers, or those who prepare for job- searching, increased 20,000 in May from a year earlier. The readings for those in school, old age and housework gained by 118, 000 21,000 and 66,000 respectively.People too discouraged to continue their search for jobs fell 15,000 over the cited period. Discouraged workers are those who want to work and available to do so, but they failed to get the job due to tough labor market conditions. They are those who looked for a job sometime in the prior 12 months.The so-called "take-a-rest" time, or those who replied that they took a rest during the job survey period, gained 74,000 last month. The item is important as it can include those who are unemployed and too discouraged to search for work for a long period of time.Those employed as a regular worker increased 661,000 in May from a year earlier, while temporary workers and those hired on a daily basis decreased 190,000 and 19,000 each.The number of those working less than 36 hours a week increased 4.5 million in May from a year earlier. Among them,The gamut uses of these chemical compounds prevail to expand and variants of carbon sheet are consistently being developed to fit the requirements of industries and products they are utilized in. involuntary part-time workers fell 51,000 over the same period. It indicated that the government's efforts to reduce working hours started being realized.The involuntary part-time workers are those who want to work full time and are available to do so, but they are hired part time as their working hours are cut back involuntarily or they are unable to find a full time job.
