Why should women receive equal prize money in grand slam tennis events when they play shorter matche

In three of the four grand slam tennis events women receive equal prize money despite only playing best of three set matches, men have to play best of five set matches. Even at Wimbledon prize money is almost identical.

Why should women receive equal prize money in grand slam tennis events when they play shorter matches?opera mini

I'm going to answer this question and sort of throw myself on the grenade because some people are viewing this as a gender equality question, when that is not the core issue. I do believe women should get equal pay for equal work, but that is not what is happening here. The women's champion over the course of a grandslam is on court for about 14+ hours for 7 matches best of 3 sets. The men's champion is usually on court for 26+ hours for 7 matches best of 5 sets. Since this is at least 75% more work involved. I would say if the men made 10% to 15% more in prize money would be fair for all the extra work. If you Disagree with this lets look at this scenario would it be fair to have equal prize money if the women played a 1 set winner take all match and the men played a longer best of 7 set match for equal prize money. The women's champion would then be on court for about 7+ hours and the men' champion would now have been on court for about 39+ hours. If you think this is Not Fair, then the above best of three sets and best of five sets should not be fair either. I beleive a small 10 or 15 % more for the men for 75% more work is a fair bonus. If the women gather together and decide they want to play best of 5 sets throughout the tournament, then they too deserve equal prize money with the men. Well thats my position, So remember...if your going to throw grenades, leave the pin in.

Why should women receive equal prize money in grand slam tennis events when they play shorter matches?passions soap opera opera theater

That isn't fair, maybe because they think that "girls can't handle that much" I don't know but I think everybody should play the same amount to get the same amount of prize money.
C'mon..is your life so pathetic that this is all you have to worry about? Get over it.
because we live in a sexist world. o yea and if the prize money was different they would be all up on it ignoring the fact that their matches are shorter and they would just say " sexist men "....
Oh; i wasn't aware they were on an hourly rate! Rounded up/down to the nearest 15 mins eh? What a question! I think it may have more to do with where the prize money comes from in the first place, and in that way men %26amp; women players have played equal stakes!
This question comes up just before Wimbledon every year.

It's not just that in the Women's competitions they play less games, it's if they did increased them to the same as the Men then there would be less time to have the same amount of matches.

The only option then would be to have less Women competing.

It could be a case of cutting off their noses etc.....
Equality.
women should be payed equal to men because they are as much of a draw as are the men...i would rather see a sharapova match, then federer ....advertising makes the money, and more people would watch sharapova as well...
I think the women should get equal prize money because they also play upto their full strength as that of men. Though their strength finishes to three sets as compared to five sets played by men. Obviously they are weaker than men. Both men/women play upto their full potential and so they are elligible for equal prize money.

Does anyone know of a website that displays public holidays and events for countries in Asia in 2008

I travel into asia on a regular basis and need to avoid specific dates. Rather doing an individual seach on the internet as to whether any countries I'm about to visit have a bank holiday / celebrate chinese new year, etc, it would be nice to have a single page which I could print out... I don't mind even buying a paper calander if there is one!!

The main countries which I travel between are Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, Australia, Indonesia, Hong Kong, China, Philippines, etc etc

Does anyone know of a site that either sells or offers good calanders displaying Asian events at a reasonable glance, rather than searching by each country!!??

Do u think the Illuminati is behind all the major world events today? Give evidence?

Please, I have enough of Dan Brown. Is there any other evidence that this Secret Society is pulling the strings behind major world events today? Are they behind the whole process of globalisation?

The Illuminati? No, but possibly bankers...

The history of the creation of the US Federal Reserve does smell like conspiracy.

Do u think the Illuminati is behind all the major world events today? Give evidence?home theater opera theater

That is a new word for me, never heard or saw that word before today. Surly you are not believing anything that Dan Brown is writing. Come on, he is a writer of fiction. Take the DaVinci Code, pure fiction but told like it was a documentary. The entire book was just a lot of fiction, and well written. He make up all his facts. So what makes you think he is not doing the same for the Illuminati or what ever they are?
Not necessary the Illuminati. There are other "societies" not in our knowledge. Freemasons, remember. I think there is alot that we are unaware of.
No.

Globalization is just big businesses getting bigger, and the bigger they get the more clout they have.

And, if these businesses have media outlets, they can bias its content.

But, no. There's no secret society in control.
There is generally no hard evidence Stanley. They cover their tracks too well so things cannot be traced back to them. Suffice it to say for now, however, that they are being watched and when they do make their move, the right ones are in place to counter it.
The Illuminati are responsible for everything in the world, but if I were to give evidence of such a fact, I would disappear much like those who go against their wishes.
Yes, history is planned in advance. It's difficult to give you evidence in one single message post. It's a lot of little pieces that make up the big puzzle.
Nope, unless they are chaos loving fools it doesn't look like anything has been manipulated by a secret organization. Heck even global organizations like the U.N. can barely get anything done and they have the cooperation of much of the world.
There is no more evidence that the Illuminati exists than that which says George W. Bush has a human brain. The Opus Dei, however, does exist.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opus_Dei#Co...

The above link is starter information for Opus Dei.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illuminati

This is a disputed article on the Illuminati.

Here is a list of books available on Amazon about them:

http://amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw/104-507...
Not sure about the Illuminati, but in this United States, corporate awipes are running this country right into the dirt. They are rich enough to influence our government leaders into pulling all the strings that allow laws to be passed that line their pockets with gold. Allowing more jobs to be shipped overseas, allowing unregulated imports into the country,(look at the junk we're getting from China right now),

taking away from our health plans and money set aside for education and our retired people. Bush said he would veto the bill which would allow every child in this country medical coverage, but in the next breathe asks for billions of dollars for war in Iraq. Why, because the corporate awipes aren't making money on child health care but they're raking it in from the war. Are we sending troops to help to the monks in Burma who are being killed by the dictator government, No, why, because Burma doesn't have the oil like Iraq. Wake up Americans, get rid of Bush and all his cronie corporate awipes or their won't be land for the people, governed by the people.........only by corporate awipes!!

Should babies 0-3 ever have to pay to get into events?

I've had two different events me and my husband wanted to go to try to charge for babies to get in. This current one I'm fighting is wanting to Charge $20.00 for a 14 month old infant.

Who thinks this is fair and who doesn't?

Should babies 0-3 ever have to pay to get into events?opera singer

Well, it's not fair but we've decided that if an organization or event wants to rip us off - then they simply won't get our business. For instance, we went to a fall festival at a farm this fall and they wanted $7.50 per person. With three small children and ourselves we'd be looking at $30.00 - and for what? We'd still have to buy food, drinks - the $30.00 was an entrance fee. You'd think they would have at least 2 and under for free or at least significantly discounted. The rides and games were only for little kids - it's crazy. I won't go somewhere where they charge for my little kids up the whazoo - they just won't stay in business that way. Yeah - it's not fair and I wouldn't patronize their establishment if I were you.

Should babies 0-3 ever have to pay to get into events?amc theater opera theater

It depends on the event. Perhaps the $20. charge is to discourage bringing infants.
No, their parents should.
I guess it depends on what kind of event--- if it's for kids or adults and if the baby will take up space ( a seat). I think if it's an event for adults only it should be free
I agree. This is not fair to charge for an infant. They can't remember what they see . I think if fewer people attend events where they have to pay for children under the age of 5, then companies who is having an event, will be forced to not charge for children under 5, because they will be loosing business.
When my twins were about 3 months old, me and my man wanted to go to the movies. When we went we carried the boys in our arms, instead of taking the pram. They however wanted us to pay $7.50 for our 3 month old boys.

I looked at them and walked out. Like my boys would take up a seat!!

Life just isn't fair somedays
no i think they should be free
depends on what kind of event, but I would not pay that much for my baby, for just one event...
I don't think it's fair, given that it essentially penalizes mothers for nursing.

Even if you're not breastfeeding, you could still call a manager and complain along those lines. Nursing babies SHOULD go EVERYWHERE their mother does, with no unnecessary added hassle or expense to the mother.

That makes sense merely from a public health standpoint...

Logistically, no, you don't pay for somebody whose 'chair' = a front-carrier. It's absurd to charge admission to somebody who couldn't take up a seat if they wanted to.

(all that said, leave your SUV stroller at home, and make a dash for the exit the second baby's face crinkles into a pre-cry...)
no, since they don't require seats. but babies 0-3 shouldn't go to events anyway cuz they annoy the people who pay

Has anyone noticed that people tend to dress casual for nice events more?.....?

I recently wen't to my sons high school graduation and noticed that very few, if any, parents or guests dressed nicely for the ceremony. They were in flip flops, summer dresses, and t-shirts. Twenty years ago if you dressed like that you would stand out like a sore thumb next to all the people who were in suits, ties, and dresses. What is happening to our culture? Arn't some events worthy of showing respect? It's like everyone thought the invitation was for the country fair, not a graduation.

An unfortunate sign of the times, standards are not dropping they are being blatantly ignored. Make a stand and show the people how it should be done..!!!

Has anyone noticed that people tend to dress casual for nice events more?.....?movie theatre opera theater

yes
I really dont think that dressing up nice means that your showing respect to the person..

hell just showing up should already show that you have a hell of alot of respect for the person just for being there..

some people find formal clothes uncomfortable, unbearable they feel they look better in casual clothes! its a dieing age you dont have to spiff up for events like graduations anymore as long as ur there and giving ur support that should be good enough.
I have noticed the same thing. People even wear jeans to weddings!
Things change and I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing. I hate it when people judge you because of what you're wearing which is essentially what was happening twenty years ago. Go wherever you're going and have fun. Don't worry so much about what others are wearing.
That's fine by me. Suits are stupid looking and non-functional. I don't know how we ever came to wear such absurd costumes.
The problem is that ppl don't really care any more. They think it is style to dress like that.

I wouldn't blame them as much. The teens now want their parents to be MODERN so the parents don't want to embaress their daughters and sons.
that's so they can show off their incredibly sexy bodies more
This is something I too have noticed at recent events.

We can only assume why some people do not care for changing their attire when they are invited to a special event. Either they do not have anything nice-er to wear, they are uncomfortable dressed up or they just simply do not care.

Personally, I think they just don't care.

Should every invitation state "proper attire only"?

Maybe!

Recommend a digital SLR camera good for everyday use AND sporting events in a gym & outdoors?

Need to move to a SLR camera - looking for something in the mid-range ($500/600) if that is doable. Want to use it for everyday type indoor/outdoor use - as well as fast action sporting events in gyms. The later is where I have had problem getting clear pictures w/ previous digital cameras. Also - need some ease of use. As a busy working mom I don't have time to read a 200 page book on how to use the camera. Basically striving for a good all around camera w/ clear pics from wrestling season this year. Have been considerign teh Nikon D40 but wonder if it will do enough for me.

Take a look into the Canon XT but my next pick would be the Fuji (PIX) S9600 28-300 zoom, though it is not a DSLR it is an awesome advanced digital. Check out all of your options at www.bhphotovideo.com

With your budget, I don't know of any other camera that will be better than the Nikon D40. I have heard many good things about the D40, however, the lens supplied in DSLR kits will probable not work for what you want to do. I'm not sure how dark those indoor sporting events are going to be--I'm thinking your lens choice is more important than the camera body.

I assume you want those indoor shots without flash, so remember, make sure you don't limit the ability of your DSLR with a bad lens. You want a very large aperture--2.8 would work well. And stick with GOOD brands of lenses.....money counts when buying lenses, if you pay less, you get less. You might end up spending twice as much, or more, for the lens than the camera body.

Hope some of this info helps...Good luck!
If you don't have time to READ %26amp; STUDY the Owner's Manual then how do you expect to learn how to use the camera?

Digital cameras do not posess "magical powers" that allow you to say "Take a great picture" and get a great picture. You must know how to operate the camera to get the results you want. In order to know how to operate the camera you have to READ %26amp; STUDY the Owner's Manual.

Would you buy a car with a manual transmission if you didn't know how to drive a car with a manual transmission?
WHILE A GOOD SLR GIVES GREAT PICTURES , YOU CAN'T GET ONE WITH A BIG ZOOM FOR ANYWHERE NEAR YOUR PRICE RANGE OF $500 - $600 . MIGHT I SUGGEST A DIGITAL WITH A GOOD BUILT IN HIGH POWER ZOOM . YOU CAN GET A 10 X , 12 X , 15 X 18 X OPTICAL ZOOM ( DON'T WASTE TIME ON DIGITAL ZOOM ) WHAT I BOUGHT IS A SONY DSC - H7 IT HAS A 15 X OPTICAL ZOOM AND 8.1 MEGA PIXELS , IT HAS A BURST RATE OF AROUND 2 - 2 1 / 2 FRAMES A SECOND . OLYMPUS HAS ONE 7.1 MEGA PIXELS ( I THINK IT'S 550 UZ ) THAT HAS A 18 X OPTICAL ZOOM AND A BURST RATE OF 15 -FRAMES A SECOND . THESE ARE MEDIUM SIZE CAMERAS AND EASY TO USE . TO GET ANYWHERE CLOSE IN A DSLR WOULD BE IN THE THOUSANDS AND BE VERY LARGE AND BULKY . AS FAR AS SLR'S GO IN 35 MM I BOUGHT MY FIRST PRO MODEL IN 1970 ( CANON FT - QL W / 55 MM 1.2 LENS ) AND THE ONE I STILL USE IN 1982 ( CANON A - 1 W / 50 MM 1.2 LENS ALSO A 35 - 200 TOKINA ZOOM , WHICH THOSE 2 LENS WERE USED 95 % OF THE TIME AND 3 OTHER LENS THE OTHER 5% ) . IN ALL I'VE SHOT WELL OVER 10,000 PICTURES, ALL BEING MANUAL FOCUS CAMERAS WERE INSTANT USE ( NO LAG TO AUTO-FOCUS ) . ANY NEW CAMERA WORTH BUYING WILL HAVE A LARGE INSTRUCTION BOOK , THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF VARYATIONS OF MODES TO USE . GET USED TO READING , EVEN THE DO IT ALL ITSELF CAMERAS TODAY HAVE TO BE SET FOR MODE , TYPE OF ACTION , LIGHTING , AND SO FORTH . THE MORE YOU READ AND EXPERMINT THE MORE VERSTIAL YOU WILL BECOME . EVEN THE BEST DSLR WILL NEVER HAVE A 10 X - 18 X OPTICAL ZOOM YOU COULD AFFORD . THE BIGGEST DRAWBACK ON AUTO FOCUS IS THEY HAVE A LAG TIME UNLESS YOU PRE FOCUS - NOT ALWAYS POSIBLE WHEN YOUR SON WILL BE ALL OVER THE MAT .
$500 to $600 isn't "mid-range." That's an entry-level price.

For that price, you're looking at a basic digital SLR body with a basic 18-55mm lens. I would suggest adding a monopod to that to help steady your shots.

If you need more telephoto, then you'll need to add a 55-200mm VR lens, which is another $150. The standard 18-55mm lens is roughly equivalent to the 3x zooms found on standard point and shoots, so if you find you need more "zoom," then you'd need to get the 55-200mm lens.

To help get sharper shots, increase the camera ISO to 800 or 1600 when shooting indoors in poor lighting.

The D40 will work just fine, set the camera to fully automatic, the ISO to 800 or better, with automatic white balancing, and you should do much better than with your previous digital cameras.
check out the nikon d40x
Any of the entry level DSLRs will work for what you want. It's the lens that you will need that will get you the photo you want. The kit lens provided with the camera will give you decent photos outdoors but the same lens won't for indoor fast action sporting events, you would need a fast lens for that type of shooting and depending on how far you are from the action , you would need a fast zoom lens. You really should make time to read the cameras manual, it'll help you to take better photos.
I will point you towards the Pentax K100D. It is in your price range including the 18-55 kit zoom.

The big advantage to the Pentax over Canon and Nikon is that the shake reduction (VR, IS) is in the camera body rather than the lens. This means that the SR works with any lens you put on the front of the camera.

A second advantage to the Pentax is that it will work with any lens you can mount on it. Even a 1956 screw mount lens will work on the Pentax with an adapter - of course you cannot get auto focus with a manual focus lens, and the exposure is manual only, but the lens will work just fine.

I have the big brother to the K100D, the K10D, and I am using two 1976 lenses on it (in manual focus and exposure), a Pentax SMC-M Macro 100mm f/4 and a .Pentax SMC-M 400mm f/5.6. I also have a Pentax SMC-A 70-210mm f/4 which will auto expose, but is manual focus.

I bought the Pentax 400 mm f/5.6 lens some years ago for Cdn $330, and have recently seen one advertised for US $325 on eBay.

Although Pentax's current lens line is a bit limited, there are so many Pentax lenses available used, that there is no problem getting the lens you want, and usually at a reasonable price.
