Federer winning Wimbledon

What a extraordinary final - now I thought last day was good, but this match was every small piece as good. In winning, Federer has to be the best ever tennis player, his performance was once additional brilliant, even if it took until the 77th game to break the Roddick serve. I thought Andy Roddick put up a great show, even after squandering four set points in the second set tiebreak he kept going right to the end and to lose the final set 15-13 and showed his stubbornness and perseverance. For Andy Roddick to lose three Wimbledon finals must be pretty hard to take, but Federer is a brilliant player, and to win fifteen Grand Slams is an astonishing record unlikely to be beaten for a long time to come. I can even see Roger Federer getting to twenty, and known his age he has every chance of achieving even more. Wimbledon is a contest that produces some great matches each year, and this day was no exception. As a tennis addict I am always glued to the TV set during Wimbledon fortnight, the only thing absent this day was not seeing Nadal being able to defend his title, and Murray absent out on the final. Hopefully after that day will be different but nothing can be taken absent from the triumph of Roger Federer in winning again.

My favourite Liberal England posts of the year

Stephen Tall on Liberal Democrat Voice is attractive Lib Dem bloggers to nominate their favourite posts from their own blogs over the past year. This is aid the judging in the "best posting" category in the Lib Dem Blog of the Year Awards.He writes:This is in fact my favourite award for the simple reason that it recognises writing talent, pure and simple. By which I don’t mean that the prose has to be commendable of a Booker nomination; rather that the article has to attract, engage and provoke readers â€" elevate our thinking, if you like.Last day the New Statesman described this blog as:an eclectic mix of melodic choices, random news items from Shropshire (where he doesn’t live), and supporting news and views. It’s also a mine of information on Liberal Party history and characters.So, concentrating on the supporting views, at this time are five posts from the last day that bear a second read:

• In defence of insinuation - and against Jonathan Ross
• House Points: David Miliband goes bananas
• Carol Thatcher, praying nurses and the abolition of private life
• Trainspotting, autism and what it means to be normal
• Norwich North was a triumph for Rennardism

A couple of these first appeared in print (David Miliband goes bananas in Liberal Democrat News; Trainspotting, autism and what it means to be normal in Clinical Psychology Forum) which may be against the spirit of the competition, if not the rules.

Employment report follow up

By Spencer,Yesterday in describing the employment report I said:Moreover, the manufacturing work week rose from 39.5 to 39.8 hours and eventually hours were 2.9 hours versus 2.8 in the second quarter. Much of this was auto and confirms the previous reports that at smallest amount auto production is rebounding.I was criticized and accused of political bias since I was placing too much stress on the auto industry. According to my critics the increase in the auto hours worked should be ignored since it was due to government meddling and did not reflect what was really occurrence in the economy.Moreover, it was implied that the auto industry was atypical and was not representative of the rest of the economy. The BLS publishes the hours worked for ten sub industries of durable manufacturing. So what happened to them? In nine of the ten industries the work week long-drawn-out last month and four industries switched from falling hours worked to rising hours worked.Moreover, in the private service providing industries, hours worked long-drawn-out 0.3%, the first monthly increase since August, 2008. Just to place this in perspective, employment in the private service providing industries is 112,788,000 otherwise roughly ten times employment of 11,817,000 in all manufacturing:So the criticism that the hours worked just reflected the impact of the money for clunkers on the working of the economy is clearly completely wrong.Yes, as I pointed out the hours worked increase was impacted by the auto sector, but it was extensive through out the economy. The improvement in the service sector was particularly significant and that had nothing to do with the auto sector.Moreover, I specifically pointed out that hours worked is a most important indicator of future employment. At negative time did I say that the depression was over. That was the reason I characterized the employment report as encouraging. Compared to a lot of previous privateanalysts, especially on Wall Street, I thought my analysis was very tempered.I do not see where it was politically biased, and the argument that hours worked long-drawn-out only since of the auto sector just reflects ignorance.

Bowstring Bridge to be demolished next month

Leicester City Council plans to get free rotten the Bowstring Bridge with unseemly haste. The feeling that it regards the city's industrial past as a dirty secret is hard to resist.According to the Leicester Mercury yesterday, destruction is intended to begin on 21 September:The only obstacle left is an application complete by Leicester Civic Society to have the bridge listed, which would block the demolition. A decision on that is imminent.The photograph shows the neighbouring Pump and Tap pub, which is scheduled for destruction by De Monfort University.
