Flushing Meadows, NY (Sports Network) - Seven-time major titlist
and two-time U.S. Open champion Venus Williams was ousted
from the final Grand Slam event of the season after falling to
China's Zheng Jie on a rainy Wednesday.
Zheng came through for a 6-3, 2-6, 7-6 (7-5) second-round
victory in a match that lasted more than three hours.
"I want to say sorry guys," Zheng said, referring to Williams not
having a chance for her third title in Flushing Meadows before the
home crowd. "Today was a tough match for me. In the second
set she was playing so great and in the final set we were fighting
each other."
Several women's matches scheduled for Wednesday were
pushed back a day due to the wet weather. Among those
included in the postponements was world No. 1 and defending
champion Serena Williams. Her second-round match against
Kazakhstan's Galina Voskoboeva was postponed until Thursday.
Third seed Agnieszka Radwanska and fifth-seeded Li Na were a
pair of winners.
Venus, whose match started late afternoon and lasted into the
night at Louis Armstrong Stadium, was delayed a couple of
minutes with the third set even, 5-5, due to drizzling conditions.
The American rallied from a 4-1 deficit in the tiebreaker, but was
set back due to 44 unforced errors. She equaled the tiebreaker,
5-5, when Zheng sent a return long. Venus then tried a backhand
at the net, but never got it over. Zheng secured a third-round
berth when Venus sent a backhand wide.
"Today was tough," Zheng said of the rain. "In the second set I
lost my concentration. She played so great."
Next up for Zheng will be 18th-seeded Spaniard Carla Suarez
Navarro, who dropped American Coco Vandeweghe 6-3, 6-4.
Meanwhile, last year's Wimbledon runner-up Radwanska, of
Poland, got past Spaniard Maria-Teresa Torro-Flor 6-0, 7-5 at
Armstrong Stadium, while this year's Australian Open runner-up
and the former French Open champion Li, of China, handled
Swede Sofia Arvidsson 6-2, 6-2 at Ashe Stadium at the USTA Billie
Jean King National Tennis Center. Radwanska will meet Russian
Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova on Friday.
Li was happy to beat the rain on Day 3.
"It's tough for them," she said, referring to all the players who still
had singles matches to complete. "For me, just relax all day and
do whatever I want."
Also Wednesday, No. 30 seed Laura Robson of Great Britain beat
France's Caroline Garcia, 6-4, 7-6 (7-5); and a 32nd-seeded
Pavlyuchenkova eased past Aussie Ashleigh Barty 6-4, 6-0. Li will
face Robson in the third round.
The 16-time Grand Slam champion Serena is a four-time U.S.
Open champ and two-time runner-up. She beat Victoria Azarenka
in last year's final in Flushing and is also the reigning French Open
champ.
In addition to Serena's match against Voskoboeva, officials also
postponed matches involving No. 8 seed Angelique Kerber, No. 9
Jelena Jankovic and No. 25 Kaia Kanepi. Jankovic is a former No. 1
who lost to Serena in the 2008 U.S. Open finale.

Petri dishes have hosted all sorts of experiments, like
cultivating mold or creating amoeba breeding grounds. But
now, truly futuristic events are happening in these circular
glass plates -- most notably, growing a brain.

That's right, scientists are now raising brains in petri dishes.
According to a study in the science journal Nature, biologists
at the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology in Vienna have
grown a human brain using stem cells. This brain isn't full-
grown; instead, it is small 3D sections of tissue that
apparently resemble the brain of a 9-week-old fetus. It is
about 3 to 4 millimeters in size.

Despite not being fully developed, this brain model still has
distinct regions of the brain, like the dorsal cortex, ventral
forebrain, and an immature retina.
"The parts are correctly organized, but not put together," said
study coordinator Juergen Knoblich, according to Popular
Science. Knoblich describes it as "a car where you have an
engine, you have the wheels -- but the engine is on the
roof... that car would never drive, but you could still take that
car and analyze how an engine works."

The goal of these scientists is to be able to use lab-grown
brains to study illnesses, like schizophrenia and autism.

Apparently, animal brains are too dissimilar from human
brains for conclusive studies on many types of neurological
diseases.

Scientists have created other body parts, like livers and heart
tissue, but these organs are nowhere near as intricate as a
brain. According to Popular Science, the 3D brain model
created by the Viennese researchers is the most complex in
vitro creation of tissue to date.

WELCOME TO THE LIVE UPDATES

Tonight FC Barcelona welcome Atlético Madrid to Camp Nou for
the second leg of the Supercopa de España, having drawn the first
leg 1-1 in Madrid. Atlético put Barça to the test in the Vicente
Calderon, with the Blaugrana struggling under the intense
pressure of La Liga’s strongest defense and the hostile colchonero
stadium. Barça held on, however, and key subs by Martino in the
second half were able to exploit a tiring Atlético Madrid back line
and earn a vital away goal. Although no team ever comes into the Camp Nou confident of a win, with Atléti fresh off a 5-0
demolition of Rayo Vallecano and Barça struggling to a 1-0 victory
at La Rosaleda, the “other” Madrid team might feel they can hold
off their formidable hosts and nick a win.

In their first match-up, Atléti stifled Barça’s attack with a rock-solid, very compact block. The center-backs and midfield destroyers teamed up to deny any space to Xavi, Iniesta, and Messi,
completely nullifying Barcelona’s more passive creators and
forcing the ball out wide. The Atlético forwards were the key,
tracking back to help isolate Barça’s players in wide positions and double- or triple-teaming the wingers, but then breaking quickly forward on counters to expose Alves and Alba. Diego Simeone’s side will be looking to replicate this tactical success, though perhaps mollifying their intense pressure to avoid losing shape in the second half.

For their part, Barça must react by bringing dynamism and
verticality to this return leg, players whose constant movement and forward runs will disrupt Atlético Madrid’s carefully organized block and generate space to circulate the ball. Players like Neymar, Cesc, Alexis, and Sergi Roberto all have these qualities and have all thrived in preseason and Martino’s first few official matches. These more direct players will be key for Tata in this match and in this season overall, as they offer a way to unlock the physical, disciplined defenses Barça will continue to encounter at elite levels.

While Martino’s back line is fairly predictable, much of the
decisions in midfield and forward selection will come down to
whether Lionel Messi should start. The recently injury-ridden
Argentine “trained harder with the players who didn’t feature
against Málaga,” according to Martino, and has been given the
medical green light. It would probably be prudent not to play
Messi and not risk aggravating his injuries, but it is unclear if Tata
is ready to bench an eager and demanding Leo Messi. He has,
however, been firm with his careful introduction of Neymar,
saying, “My aspiration is for him to be a Barça player for 10 to 12
years, not for him to fix my problems in one match.” Martino did admit that Neymar is ready to start matches, although the
decision has not been made yet.
Should neither Messi or Neymar start, expect Fàbregas to once
again play the role of backup Messi, a false “false 9,” if you will. I
personally prefer Cesc in midfield, where his vertical runs come as
more of a surprise for defenders, avoiding the static midfield
problem Barça has had with Xavi and Iniesta against strong
defenses. Xavi also has started all three matches this season, and
could definitely use a rest. In place of Fàbregas, Martino has the
option of selecting Alexis Sanchez as a center-forward, a
possibility he alluded to when mentioning that he wanted “the
Chilean Alexis” to play for Barça. Sanchez has been in inspired
form for his country, and his link-up play, off the ball movement,
and increased confidence in front of goal are all highlighted when
fielded in a more central role.

Dear Hon. Minister,

As a professor and mother, I have no doubt that you are
aware of the fact that your ministry has a crucial role to
play in how the future of this country will be.
If Nigeria will remain as a going concern and team up with the rest
of humanity to make the world a better place, will depend mainly
on the role of the ministry you head.

A strike by the ASUU is therefore a strike at the future of this
nation and any shot aimed at the future of our great country must
be deflected by you as the minister of education. This is the
enormity of the responsibility which God Almighty has placed on
your shoulders. If democracy will survive in this nation, your
ministry cannot be left out
Honourable minister, every nation that wants to make meaningful
progress in every sphere of life gives quality attention to four
major areas. These are education, security, law and order and
health. A man without education is not only vulnerable, he will kill
others. A man without good health is a walking corpse. A man
without security is as good as dead. Where there is no law and
order, people return to the jungle as resorting to self help
becomes the order of the day. In all these four sectors, education,
whether formal or informal, is the most important hence Jesus
Christ said in the bible: “my people perish for lack of knowledge”.

A nation that does not know is a dead nation.
It is against this background that I urge you to do all that is needful
to ensure that the current ASUU strike is resolved without further
delay. Honourable minister, what is N87 or N97billion to a nation
that is concerned about its tomorrow?

The fight of ASUU, you will agree, is genuine even if it is one strike
too many. As a professor of education, would you say you were
really teaching your students before you went into government?

Would you say that the quality of learning you got before you
became a professor is what you were giving to your students
either at the graduate or undergraduate level?
Is the school environment what a university should be? Obi
Nwakanma, a professor of English in an American university and
a newspaper columnist, once narrated his experience when he
visited the University of Jos from where he graduated 25yrs ago.

His conclusion was that what we call universities in Nigeria today
are nothing but ghettoes. I agree with him totally.
Honourable minister, is it not a shame that our children flood the
universities in the whole of Europe and America just as we have turned India to a Mecca of sort for medical attention?
It is not just shameful. It is ridiculous to say the least. What is in Ukraine, South Africa or any other nation of the world that we
cannot replicate in Nigeria? How brilliant are other nations that we
have to jump into the plane to seek knowledge from them?

The gentleman that taught me Political Sociology in my
penultimate year in the university visited Germany sometime in
the 1990s to see his brother. He visited one of the universities in
that country. When he compared his school back in Nigeria to
what he saw in Germany, he could not manage the shock arising
from the difference. Upon his return to Nigeria, he resigned his
appointment immediately and went into private business. Today
he is in politics. This is the degree of decay our universities have
sunk into.

If the truth must be told ma, what ASUU is asking for is pittance
compared to what has been stolen either directly from the nation’s
coffers, through crude oil theft or the scandalous salaries and
wages members of the National Assembly are paid.

Only recently, a former Education Minister, Oby Ezekwesili,
revealed to the nation that in a short space of eight years,
members of the National Assembly had got N1trillion from the national purse. What did they use it for, you may ask? As if that
was not enough to anger any sane person, eminent Nigerians
have been expressing shock over the proposed plan to put
members of the National Assembly on life pension even when
they may not have served for more than four years.

There is no way anyone interested in building a strong nation
would not support the stand ASUU has taken. I was shocked to
my bone marrows when an assistant lecturer revealed to me
recently that his monthly salary was not up to N150,000. Let us
face it, in the Nigeria of today this is a ridiculous pay for someone
of that status.
