...expect this to be a tough match, that the Czech is really a better hardcourt player than Blake. James loses eight games in his straight set victory.On Thursday night, I’m at my aunt’s house in White Plains, N.Y., watching as Blake has the crowd with him and is rolling after a tremendous fourth-round effort. However, standing in front of him is possibly the greatest tennis player ever.

The screening was eventually postponed until the following night, leading to some grumbles from the normally ultra-placid TIFF audience - although the headline on Defamer.com, "Toronto Film Festival Projectionist Slain By Angry Borat Fans," was a slight exaggeration...
...August? Let's Go to Iowa! The Iowa State Fair annually draws turkey callers, cow-chip throwers and piemakers from across the Hawkeye State. This year's fair, which begins next week, is attracting a crowd of competitors from farther afield: possible White House contenders hunting for votes ahead...
