Mexico kick off the tournament's opening game against hosts South Africa on June 11th and will go into it with confidence after dominating the world champions .


Italian manager Marcello Lippi sent out an attacking line-up featuring three strikers, Antonio Di Natale, Alberto Gilardino and Vincenzo Iaquinta. The tactics almost paid off in the opening minutes when Iaquinta headed a corner against the crossbar.


As in the game against England, Mexico looked vulnerable facing high balls. Italian center-half Leonardo Bonucci had another free header from a corner later in the half, after Mexican goalkeeper Oscar Perez has tipped an Andrea Pirlo freekick over the crossbar.

But it was Mexico who dominated the first half. Coach Javier Aguirre’s line-up was based around a solid center with the experienced pairing of Rafael Marquez and Gerardo Torrado patrolling the space in front of the back four.


Up front the youthful trio of Giovanni Dos Santos, Carlos Vela and Javier Hernandez had the Italian defense desperately trying to keep up with them.


Their verve got the early goal it deserved in when Dos Santos dinked the ball behind a square Italian defense. Vela was swiftly onto it and slotted the ball past Gigi Buffon in the Italian goal.


The Mexican pair continued to worry Italy with their sharp runs and link-up play. While Carlos Salcido went close with two efforts from distance.


The second half saw Mexico bring on Pablo Barrera for Marquez, while Italy brought on midfielder Simone Pepe. Both had good chances to score almost immediately.

Barrera should have scored after a dreadful error by Cannavaro. The Italian captain played a pass behind his center-half partner Bonucci and Barrera nipped in to steal the ball. However his attempted chip beyond the on-rushing Buffon was poor.


At the other end Pepe had a volley blocked by the Mexican defense.

Barrera continued to cause Italy problems but couldn’t find any decent end product to his play. Vela did better with a great run down the left. His cross for Hernandez was perfect but the new Manchester United striker missed the ball with the goal at his mercy.

The game went through a lull as both sides made a series of substitutions. Two of these paid off for Mexico, when, with six minutes remaining, veteran star Cuauhtemoc Blanco played a beautiful pass behind the Italian defense.


Alberto Medina, who has replace Dos Santos, controlled the ball with his head and smashed Mexico’s second past Buffon.

This spurred Italy to life and a free kick from the right again caused Mexico problems in the air. The ball dropped to Iaquinta whose shot cannoned off the post. The rebound eventually fell to Bonnuci, who bundled the ball home to make it 2-1.

There was still time for Buffon to pull off a point blank save from Mexican substitute Andres Guardado before the referee blew the whistle on a satisfying game for Mexico.

Memorial Golf Tournament 2010

Memorial Golf Tournament 2010

Golf has landed in the rough on more occasions than one lately. Tiger Woods has made it hard for many PGA fans to concentrate on the actual game. Other big names, even on the LPGA, have made matters a bit more difficult by hanging out with Ben Roethlisberger.

Either way, the Memorial Golf Tournament 2010 is well underway and the charities are reaping the rewards.

The tournament was put together in 1976 by Jack Nicklaus. The golf greats can be found at the Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin Ohio. The earnings generated by these big name golfers has been extremely beneficial to charities like Children’s Hospital. Thus far, Phil Mickelson is leading all the other golfers in the Memorial Golf Tournament 2010.

One of the most special parts of this tournament is that kids eighteen and under get in free. For youngsters to get an opportunity to see golfers of this caliber is fundamentally one of the best modes of giving that anyone could ask for.

Detroit Tigers perfect game | Armando Galarraga

Hey, Armando Galarraga! You didn’t get a perfect game. But you did get a car.

Less than 18 hours after Mr. Galarraga’s effort was spoiled by an admittedly wrong call by umpire Jim Joyce, Mr. Galarraga, a pitcher for the Detroit Tigers, received a red Chevrolet Corvette convertible with a beige rag top in a ceremony before Thursday afternoon’s game. The car, whose sticker price starts at $53,580, was driven onto the field at Comerica Park by Mark Reuss, the president of General Motors’ North American operations, who jumped out from behind the wheel to shake Mr. Galarraga’s hand.

Chevrolet is a sponsor of the Tigers, whose outfield features the ivy covered Chevrolet Fountain. The park stands within view of G.M. headquarters on the Detroit River.

Mr. Galarraga did not speak, but he grinned and patted the top of the car as he posed with it for photographers. A teammate, first baseman Miguel Cabrera, looked even more excited than Galarraga, peering inside the driver’s side window as other Tigers grouped around the car.

Mr. Reuss said the pitcher deserved the car for the way he handled himself after Mr. Joyce’s call at first base, which took away Mr. Galarraga’s perfect game. Mr. Joyce said after the game that he made the wrong decision and apologized to Mr. Galarraga, who hugged him. Major league baseball officials are reviewing the call.

Mr. Reuss, the son of former G.M. president Lloyd Reuss, said in a statement that he had known the Illitch family, owners of the Tigers and the Detroit Red Wings, his entire life. “It is only fitting we give back for all the Illitches have done for Detroit, and to celebrate Armando’s pitching and sportsmanship during one of the most captivating evenings in Detroit history,” Mr. Reuss said.

Nevada unemployment

Nevada’s and Las Vegas' unemployment rates soared to new records during the month of April, the Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation (DETR) announced early this morning.

The state's official jobless rate now stands at 13.7%, while Las Vegas' has again crossed a significant threshold, jumping to 14.2%, said William Anderson, chief economist for the DETR. In contrast, the national unemployment rate is 9.9%, while the only other state to consistently report a higher jobless rate than Nevada, Michigan, announced Thursday that its April rate stood at 14%.

“While the consensus may be that the recession is nearing the end, employment has not begun to show any signs of real improvement. News on the employment front remains unsettling, especially for those still struggling to find work in this down economy.”

- William Anderson, chief economist for Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation

Some of the increase is because more jobless Nevadans are looking for work: the state's overall labor force grew every month this year, presumably because workers either exhausted savings and unemployment benefits, or were buoyed because of more upbeat reports about an improving national economic picture.

Casino employment appears to be bottoming out, but construction and government continue to shed jobs

Las Vegas' casino hotel and gaming industry may have reached or be nearing the bottom, Anderson said. While still very weak, employment has increased each month this year and visitor volume has improved six out of the last seven months. Although still low by historical standards, hotel occupancy also has improved, he added, despite thousands of additional new hotel rooms Las Vegas' City Center has added since opening in December.

However, one of the state's other largest employment sectors, construction, has fallen to a level not seen in 15 years. The industry has lost almost 60% of the jobs it created during the height of the housing boom in June 2006.

Because of falling tax revenues, the public sector - particularly local government - is also now beginning to shed large numbers of jobs. In the last year, local government employers slashed or 5.2% fo its employment base, or 5,500 jobs. Job losses are expected to increase in the coming months as municipalities adjust to lower budgets set to begin July 1st.

As the devastating effects of the Great Recession continue, Nevada's social service safety net is providing aid to more and more Nevadans, Anderson said. For example, the number of Nevadans participating in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly known as food stamps) and and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) have grown dramatically, Anderson said.

Since the state of the recession, SNAP recipients have grown 100%, while those receiving TANF aid, which is temporary cash assistance to poor families with children, grew almost 40%. In the last year alone, SNAP participation increased by almost 42%, while TANF participants grew by 33%.
