(AP Photo/Ben Curtis)LONDON — Two-time champion Andy Murray pulled out of Wimbledon on Sunday because of a bad hip that has been a problem for about a year and was surgically repaired less than six months ago.The All England Club announced Murray’s withdrawal a day before the grass-court Grand Slam tournament begins.ADVERTISEMENT In 2013, he became the first British man in 77 years to collect a Wimbledon singles title, and he won the championship again in 2016. He’s reached at least the quarterfinals in each of his past 10 appearances at the All England Club.Considered a member of the ruling “Big 4” quartet of men’s tennis, along with Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, Murray also won the 2012 U.S. Open and two Olympic singles gold medals.But all of his time away meant the former No. 1-ranked Murray has fallen out of the top 150 and he was not seeded at Wimbledon.At a pre-tournament news conference Saturday, he said he planned to play in the tournament unless, he explained, “I wake up and don’t feel good.”He added: “There’s certain things that are still tricky and things I’m still trying to work through. These things are significantly better than what they were a few months ago. That’s for sure. But, you know, again, it just takes time.”ADVERTISEMENT Taal victims get help from Kalayaan town Cloudy skies over Luzon due to amihan Volcano watch: Island fissures steaming, lake water receding Christopher Tolkien, son of Lord of the Rings author, dies aged 95 Tim Cone, Ginebra set their sights on elusive All-Filipino crown LATEST STORIES In fight vs corruption, Duterte now points to Ayala, MVP companies as ‘big fish’ World Cup: Russia stuns Spain in shootout, reaches quarterfinals MOST READ Bicol riders extend help to Taal evacuees Lights inside SMX hall flicker as Duterte rants vs Ayala, Pangilinan anew Trending Articles PLAY LIST 00:50Trending Articles01:42Duterte to side with US if Filipinos are harmed in Middle East ruckus05:52Typhoon Ursula slightly weakens, expected out of PAR by Saturday02:14Carpio hits red carpet treatment for China Coast Guard02:56NCRPO pledges to donate P3.5 million to victims of Taal eruption00:56Heavy rain brings some relief in Australia02:37Calm moments allow Taal folks some respite03:23Negosyo sa Tagaytay City, bagsak sa pag-aalboroto ng Bulkang Taal01:13Christian Standhardinger wins PBA Best Player award The first match of his comeback came at the Queen’s Club grass-court tournament on June 19. Still with a hitch in his gait, Murray played more than 2½ hours before losing to Nick Kyrgios in three sets.This past week, again on grass, Murray beat fellow three-time major champion Stan Wawrinka, before losing to countryman Kyle Edmund.“I don’t think I played amazing in the matches,” Murray said Saturday, “but I think I’ve done well, considering the opponents.”There will be no opponents for him next week at a place that has come to define his career. Instead, Murray’s spot in the draw will be taken by Jason Jung of Taiwan, who lost in qualifying.Sports Related Videospowered by AdSparcRead Next “I’ve made significant progress in practice and matches over the last 10 days, but after lengthy discussions with my team and with a heavy heart, we’ve decided that playing best-of-five-set matches might be a bit too soon in the recovery process,” Murray said in a statement released by his manager. “We did everything we could to try to be ready in time.”Murray’s first-round match against Benoit Paire was scheduled for Tuesday. Murray beat Paire in the fourth round at Wimbledon last year as the defending champion, then lost to Sam Querrey in the quarterfinals, clearly hampered by the hip, and did not play again for the rest of 2017.FEATURED STORIESSPORTSGinebra beats Meralco again to capture PBA Governors’ Cup titleSPORTSAfter winning title, time for LA Tenorio to give back to Batangas folkSPORTSTim Cone, Ginebra set their sights on elusive All-Filipino crownThe 31-year-old Murray had an operation in January and returned to competition a little less than two weeks ago.“I will start practicing on the hard courts from tomorrow and continuing with my rehab and recovery and I’m looking forward to the U.S. hard-court season,” Murray’s statement read. “Thanks for all the messages of support, and I’m excited to finally be back playing after so long out.” Don’t miss out on the latest news and information.

The Mayor and City Council conducted a restoration unveiling ceremony of the Peace Pole in the compound ofThe restored Peace PoleCity Hall on Monday.The restored structure was unveiled by the Mayor of Georgetown Patricia Chase Green, President of the American University of Research, Dr Eton Simon, Imaam Shaheed Mohamed, Prabhupada Deva Parabhu and Pastor Ronald McGarrell.Addressing the small gathering, Simon said: “When I came here in 2001, I met with the Mayor Hamilton Green and we spoke about planting a Peace Pole in the compound of City Hall. He agreed and we got support from many other members of the Mayor and City Council.”Simon stated that upon his return to Guyana this year, he suggested to the present Mayor Patricia Chase Green, to have the Peace Pole restored and within 15 days, it was complete.In his peace pilgrim’s message, Simon relayed: “People in their immaturity, attempt to overcome evil with more evil and that multiplies the evil. Only good can overcome evil. There is within the hearts of people, deep desire for peace and they would speak for peace if they were not bound by apathy, by ignorance, by fear. It is the job of the peacemakers to inspire them from their apathy. To dispel their ignorance with truth. To allay their fear with faith and work for good.” Mayor Chase Green expressed appreciation towards the refurbished concrete structure and highlighted that Peace Poles were planted around the City of Georgetown in 2004. “Over the years, we noticed that the one at City Hall had started to deteriorate, and I sometimes wonder if the deterioration of the pole was a deterioration of the peace at City Hall, but now its restored and I’m certain that peace, peace perfect peace, will be restored at City Hall.”Chase Green further stated that in the journey to restore Georgetown to the former Garden City, she aimed to advocate peace, adding that “peace is a light that we will always need to make our differences find common ground and to make our diverse goals into a single purpose.”
Kenya is hosting the ministerial conference of the World Trade Organization, the highest decision-making body of the WTO. Delegates had hoped this round of the Doha trade negotiations, the first to be held in Africa, would yield a breakthrough in efforts to address trade imbalances between developed and developing nations. But once again, a far-reaching resolution looks unlikely, the VOA has reported.The World Trade Organization launched the Doha Development Agenda in 2001, and the negotiations have now lasted over 14 years. The Doha agenda seeks to remove trade barriers to help developing countries better integrate into the global economy.Deodat Maharaj, deputy secretary-general of the Commonwealth, which represents 53 countries, including India and several large economies in sub-Saharan Africa, said trade imbalances in Africa must first be addressed by internal policy changes.“You cannot trade effectively if you do not tap the sum total of your entire market, and to tap the sum total of the entire market of Africa, we need to open up corridors, economic corridors, so that trade from one country will be seamless,” Maharaj said.A key debate ahead of this year’s ministerial conference, known as Nairobi MC10, has been whether to continue the now 14-year process or to start afresh. The United States and Europe want the talks to begin on fresh ground. Nations like Kenya and South Africa want to see the Doha process through to the end.Kipyego Cheluget, assistant secretary general of the Common Market for Eastern & Southern Africa (COMESA), said there are lots to resolve.“This is a continuous process, a very, very difficult and complicated one. So I’m not really so sure that we can confidently say that after Nairobi MC10 all the problems that we have will be resolved. I think it might really be like the beginning of a process that will perhaps address some of the challenges,” said Cheluget.A push from developing nations to remove agricultural subsidies in rich countries is expected to be a top item on the agenda this week.Some accuse the WTO of favoring rich nations. Economist Yash Tandon, CEO of the Southern & Eastern Trade Information and Negotiations Institute, says the body does not hold solutions for Africa.“The WTO is asymmetrical, unequal and the power is held by the Western countries in league with the secretariat of the WTO, which is totally biased against us [Africa]. So in that kind of climate, where they are pushing for what they call free trade, it’s totally unbalanced against us,” said Tandon. The four-day ministerial conference ends this Friday.Share this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)

The Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants wanted to find out Sunday which of them looked ready to challenge for supremacy in the NFC East. The Cowboys won, but the answer to the bigger question might be neither. Dallas committed four turnovers, missed two field goals and allowed a tying touchdown with 19 seconds left, yet overcame it all with a 45-yard field goal by Jose Cortez on the opening drive of overtime for a 16-13 victory over the equally inept Giants. “I feel pretty fortunate,” Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said. He should.

But Eli Manning and the Giants (3-2) couldn’t do it. They trailed 7-6 midway through the third quarter after the Cowboys had already committed all of their turnovers. Then New York started giving the ball away: four turnovers in five drives, including a fumble at the Dallas 1 with 1:18 left while down by seven. “We just shot ourselves in the foot,” Manning said. “We were letting them get the best off us.” Keeping with the game’s theme, the Cowboys wasted their chances, too. Manning wound up throwing a 24-yard touchdown pass to Jeremy Shockey that forced OT. Dallas has consecutive victories for the first time this season and first place in the NFC East. 
Falcons 34, Saints 31 Todd Peterson’s 36-yard field goal won it for Atlanta in the final seconds, but only after a miss from 41 yards was negated by a holding penalty on New Orleans’ Tony Bryant, a play that had no effect on the miss. New Orleans (2-4), embarrassed at Green Bay 52-3 a week earlier, had tied it at 31-31 when Aaron Brooks hit Devery Henderson in the back of the end zone for a 15-yard TD with under a minute left. Bears 28, Vikings 3 While Minnesota’s season continued to spiral out of control, Chicago might saved its. Brian Urlacher had two sacks to lead the Bears over a Vikings team reeling after allegations of drunkenness and sexual misbehavior on a charter cruise last week. It was the fourth loss in five games for Minnesota. Thomas Jones rushed for 89 yards and two touchdowns on 23 carries for the Bears (2-3). Panthers 21, Lions 20 Playing in his first game since 2002, Chris Weinke threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to Ricky Proehl with 32 seconds left to lead Carolina to victory. Weinke relieved Jake Delhomme, who was knocked out of the game on the game-winning drive when he was hit hard by safety Kenoy Kennedy. Weinke took over at midfield with 2:56 left and calmly led the Panthers (4-2) down the field, completing 5 of 7 passes for 47 yards. 160Want local news?Sign up for the Localist and stay informed Something went wrong.

marshall kirkpatrick One of the biggest mobile technology conferences in the world, CTIA, is about to begin in Orlando, Florida and ReadWriteWeb’s Sarah Perez and I are on the scene to find out what’s hot for mobile device power users, mobile developers, the Internet of Things and more.Mobile is no doubt the future of the consumer computing experience and a world of connected devices are sure to make huge new sets of data available for developers to play with. The movement of mainstream markets will open up new possibilities for experimentation, too. Here’s what I’ll be looking to see at this giant event.AppsApple rocked the mobile world with the first compelling mobile app experience that was loved by consumers and developers. Once unimaginable, mass market providers are now competing to win the hearts of mainstream app users.Unlike at smaller, freakier industry events I attend – I’ll be looking at CTIA to see what big app builders are going to try to move whole markets with. I expect to see a new baseline of offerings that will set the tone and create expectations that smaller fringe developers will work within over the next year.For example, the app PhoneGuard aims to bring location tracking to the mainstream by targeting parents who want to block their children from texting while driving and get a report detailing where they were if they drive over a certain speed. That’s the kind of mainstream use case and clear value to consumers that could leave a wake of opportunity for other developers seeking to leverage the resulting consumer acceptance of conditional location tracking. I’ll be looking for more apps like that at CTIA.Android, Apple & CompetitionHandsets and tablets are all judged against Apple devices and this show will be another big opportunity to see what others can bring. Android, and perhaps to a lesser degree WebOS, provide a clear and increasingly strong OS alternative to try to put in an apple-beating form factor. That’s just the first step of the challenge, of course, as the app landscape remains so tilted in Apple’s favor. (The battle never ends, though: see last week’s news New Dashboard Provides Android Developers with Better Stats)CTIA is an industry event, though, and the rest of the industry desperately hopes that now that consumer demand for beautiful smart phones has been validated, challengers with higher margins for the rest of the supply chain will continue to grow in strength. That more Android phones are now sold than iOS phones is a good sign for the market, for competition and for consumers on all platforms.Networks as PlatformsThe emerging era is an era of data as a platform. From the tiniest Tweet or individual beat of your heart to the massive deluge of data expected from a new world of connected devices reporting to the web about their use for the first time – so much more data is available than ever before. That data is a raw resource waiting to be given form. Mobile phone companies see more of it than almost anyone on earth. (See, for example, our post Meet the Fire Hose Seven Thousand Times Bigger Than Twitter.)Can these companies create new wealth and consumer value by opening up their data to a world of hungry developers? Or will they horde and squander this rich resource, suffocating it under the weight of their own limited imaginations and incredible appetite for short term recovery of huge infrastructure outlays and their need for profit? I’ll be looking for the latest data points to gain insight into that question.Spectrum crisis, machine to machine communication and much more can be understood in a number of different contexts.ReadWriteWeb looks at the web as a readable/writable platform, enabling new publishing possibilities and a new understanding of the world. That’s the context I’ll be looking at CTIA through. Stay tuned for coverage of the most exciting mobile developments we can find here.
