News outlets are reporting that an Ottawa coroner has confirmed a package delivered Tuesday to the Conservative Party of Canada's headquarters in downtown Ottawa contained a human foot.
Authorities say they were called to the Tory offices at Albert Street at 11:20am. "Upon arrival, officers noted that the ... package had blood stains on it," the Ottawa Police Service said in a release, according to the Globe and Mail. "The Hazmat Unit and Emergency Operations section were called and upon further inspection of the package it was determined that there was possibly a human foot in the box," the police said. CBC Newsis reporting that the package was delivered through Canada Post and police will be tracking its origin. Meanwhile, the RCMP and Montreal police are also investigating the discovery of a human torso in a pile of garbage in the Côte-des-Neiges borough, west of Décarie Boulevard and checking to see if there is any link to the package found in Ottawa.

Serena Williams lost in the first round of a Grand Slam event for the first time in her career.
AP
PARIS (AP) -- Serena Williams lost in the first round of a major tournament for the first time in her career, falling to Virginie Razzano of France 4-6, 7-6 (5), 6-3 Tuesday at the French Open.
The fifth-seeded Williams was two points from victory several times in the second set, including leading 5-1 in the tiebreaker. But Razzano won six straight points to force a third set, and then took control of the match.
"I made so many errors today, which isn't the game I was playing in the past," Williams said. "That's life."
Williams entered the day with a 46-0 record in first-round matches at Grand Slam tournaments. She had been looking for her 14th major title, and second at Roland Garros.
The 13-time Grand Slam champion had five break points in the final game, but she couldn't convert.
"I was just thinking, if I can break here we'll be back on serve," Williams said.
Razzano saved all five, and then converted her eighth match point to eliminate one of the tournament favorites.
"I had to dig deep against a great champion and you could see until the end that she gave away nothing," Razzano said. "I had to go and get the victory. I had to be mentally strong, and I gave my everything."

El arquero de la "U" sumó ante Libertad otro capítulo de gloria en su historia con los azules. Una carrera en la que también se ha ganado la molestia de los adversarios.
por Alejandro Mayo. Estadísticas: Luis Navarrete. - 28/05/2012 - 07:10
El 1 de agosto de 1999, la expulsión de Sergio Vargas permitió que Jhonny Cristián Herrera Muñoz debutara en el arco de Universidad de Chile, a los 37' del duelo ante Santiago Morning (ganó la "U" 2-1). Fue el primero de muchos triunfos que suma el arquero de los azules. Ante Libertad aumentó aún más su figura entre los hinchas, mientras que desde los otros clubes cada día suma más "enemigos" debido a sus declaraciones.
Herrera, que también ha jugado por Corinthians, Everton (donde fue campeón) y Audax Italiano, se ha peleado con todos, incluso con compañeros y técnicos de sus propios equipos (como Nelson Acosta y Víctor Castañeda). Pero su contrincante favorito es Colo Colo. "Es parte de mi personalidad querer ganar los clásicos, soy más anticolocolino que de la "U" misma, para mí son partidos a morir y espero poder ganarlos", declaró una vez. Y ha cumplido con esa sentencia ya que ante los albos muestra más alegrías que tristezas, con cinco triunfos (que incluyen los dos por las mayores diferencias), dos derrotas y tres empates. Ya con este registro se ganó el corazón de los hinchas. Pero también por los cuatro títulos que ha conquistado con la "U". El primero, en 1999, como parte del plantel, pero con poca participación. El segundo, el que le dio el gran impulso. En el Apertura 2004, bajo las órdenes de Héctor Pinto, fue clave en la campaña y en la final ante Cobreloa. En Calama tapó un penal y convirtió el decisivo en la definición que le dio la corona a los universitarios. Esa vez, en el viaje de regreso, un experimentado miembro del plantel le dijo al verlo subir al avión "Jhonny, mataste todos los fantasmas", en referencia a la comparación que siempre debió enfrentar con Sergio Vargas, con quien protagonizó algunas polémicas mientras compartieron camarín. En 2002, con Víctor Hugo Castañeda, le quitó por algunos partidos el puesto a "Superman". "Mi relación con Sergio fue un tema complicado, porque se manejó muy mal... Siempre he respetado sus condiciones como arquero, pero de ahí a que sea mi ídolo es muy distinto", explicó una vez. Después del título de 2004 vino un fallido intento en Corinthians y el regreso a Chile para jugar por Everton, donde se dio el gusto de dar vuelta una final ante Colo Colo, y Audax Italiano. El año pasado llegó el momento de regresar a la "U", donde suma 183 partidos en Primera y 32 por copas internacionales. Por mucho tiempo se mantuvo en silencio públicamente, debido al accidente que protagonizó y que causó la muerte de una joven. Pero en la previa de un clásico, sacó la voz y no ha parado, asumiendo que es un referente en el plantel. Cuestionó la contratación de Paulo Garcés por ser de Universidad Católica, trató de imbécil a Víctor Loyola y dedicó varias frases a Colo Colo como "si se hacen llamar equipo grande, tienen que salir a atacar", "la consigna es ir desde el primer minuto a pasarle por encima a Colo Colo", "si hay alguien soberbio en la vida, creo que es el hincha de Colo Colo". Aunque su mayor polémica ha sido con Claudio Borghi y la selección. "Qué bueno que Borghi se sacó los bistecs de los ojos y llamó a muchos jugadores de la 'U'" y "tal vez si no existiesen compadrazgos estarían los mejores", han sido parte de su repertorio. Pero a los seguidores de la "U" les importa otra cosa. Fue pilar en los dos torneos nacionales y la Copa Sudamericana ganados en 2011 y que ante Libertad, con una espectacular tapada en los descuentos y un penal atajado en la definición, fue el héroe del paso a semifinales. Por si fuera poco, ayer volvió a parar un envío desde los doce pasos a Cobreloa, una intervención clave para el triunfo azul en la altura de Calama.

Quebec education Minister Michelle Courchesne arrives at a meeting with student spokespersons …
Student group CLASSE spokesperson Gabriel Nadeau Dubois speaks to the media before …
Students and the government of Canada's Quebec province on Monday resumed negotiations aimed at bringing an end to more than three months of protests over tuition hikes.
Since February, hundreds of protesters have been arrested, and clashes have erupted sporadically as more than 165,000 students refused to go to classes and took to the streets to protest the planned increase in school fees. A tentative deal was reached after marathon talks a month ago but soon fell apart, and nightly protests in Montreal and other cities resumed. The meeting between Education Minister Michelle Courchesne and student leaders has been touted as a "last chance" to resolve the conflict that has gripped Quebec before the start of summer festivals and other major tourist draws. Courchesne is expected to put a new offer on the table, but will not likely budge on the start in September of the staggered increases in tuition at the French-speaking province's universities. Going into the meeting, she told reporters she was "confident" that the talks would be fruitful. One of the student leaders, Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois, said key demands for a tuition freeze or at least a smaller hike and the repeal of a controversial law that restricts protests must be part of the negotiations. If Courchesne "refuses to discuss school fees and Act 78, our meeting won't last long," he said. "These are our priorities." Act 78 regarding protests was passed on May 18 in an effort to quell the unrest but has only served to galvanize opposition to the government. Premier Jean Charest became the first Quebec premier in 2008 to win three back-to-back mandates since the 1950s. But his popularity has plummeted amid the student unrest, on the heels of corruption allegations. The students initially launched protests, boycotting classes, in response to the government's plan to raise annual university fees by 82 percent or $1,700, with the increase gradually introduced over a period of several years. Efforts to reach a compromise in the province of eight million were complicated by the passage of the emergency law. The measure requires organizers to give police at least eight hours advance warning of times and locations of protest marches, with hefty fines imposed for failing to do so. Officials are desperate for a quick end to the protests that otherwise could put at risk hundreds of millions of dollars in tourism revenues, notably before the Montreal Grand Prix on June 8-10. For Charest, a resolution might also help turn around his political fortunes before he has to go the polls again, between now and December 2013.

Por diez años, la marca japonesa Ricoh es "dueña" del nombre del estadio del Convetry City inglés, por lo que tuvo que pagar más de 15 millones de dólares.
Sin embargo, por algunas semanas ese contrato deberá quedar en pausa, luego de que el estadio fuera elegido para albergar los Juegos Olímpicos y el Comtié Organizador prohibiera que ser viera la marca Ricoh. Con esto, deberán tapar una serie de carteles y "rebautizar" por algunos días el recinto, todo en el marco de una serie de medidas impuestas para que no se le haga publicidad a nadie que no lo haya pagado específicamente para los Juegos. Según informa el Business Insider, ninguna campaña publicitaria podrá incluso hacer referencia a la cita deportiva, control que aumenta en una "zona específica de exclusión", en donde no se podrán ver a otras marcas, ni siquiera si los dueños de un edificio deciden decorarlo de una manera "especial". A tal ha llegado el nivel de control que los baños públicos, instalados mucho antes de que se pensara en los JJ.OO., han visto borradas las marcas que los fabricaron. Para los atletas también hay restricciones: no podrán promocionar a sus marcas -si no auspician oficialmente- a través de Twitter u otra red social, ya que corren el peligro de perder sus medallas. Los espectadores, por ejemplo, no podrá subir fotos de la Gimansia a Instagram.

El suizo Roger Federer venció al alemán Tobias Kamke, 78° del mundo, por 6-2, 7-5 y 6-3 en la primera ronda de Roland Garros, e igualó con 233 victorias el récord del estadounidense Jimmy Connors en torneos de Grand Slam. Ganador en París en 2009, Federer lleva ya 50 triunfos en el Abierto Francés y aspira a convertirse en el primer jugador de más de 30 años en ganar un Grand Slam desde que el estadounidense Andre Agassi triunfó en el Abierto de Australia en 2003, con 32 años y 272 días. El ecuatoriano Andrés Gómez, triunfador en Roland Garros en 1990 fue el último mayor de 30 años que alzó la Copa de Mosqueteros, con 30 años y 130 días. Esa veteranía de Federer, en su 14 aparición en el Abierto Francés y la 50 en un grande, le proporcionó la tranquilidad suficiente para derrotar a Kamke en su primer enfrentamiento en una hora y 57 minutos, en la pista Suzanne Lenglen.
Djokovic vence a Starace en la búsqueda de su primer título en Roland Garros
El número uno del mundo se impuso por 7-6 (3), 6-3 y 6-1. Ahora enfrentará a Blaz Kavcic.
El serbio Novak Djkovic, número uno del mundo, se impuso sin grandes problemas al italiano Potito Starace, por 7-6 (3), 6-3 y 6-1, en la primera ronda de Roland Garros. El campeón del Abierto de Australia abrió así la lucha por el título del campeonato francés, el único Grand Slam que le falta por ganar. Djokovic se enfrentará en segunda ronda con el esloveno Blaz Kavcic, que derrotó al australiano Lleyton Hewitt por 7-6 (2) 6-3 6-7 (4) y 6-3. "En las próximas dos semanas pienso hablar únicamente en francés... Potito es un especialista en esta superficie, pero he jugado muy consistente para ser mi primer partido este año en Roland Garros", dijo Djokovic. "Nole" agregó que "espero seguir adelante y conseguir buenos resultados, pero es demasiado pronto para hablar de la final".

PARIS — Canadian Milos Raonic has already improved on last year's performance at the French Open. Raonic powered past Ruben Ramirez Hidalgo of Spain 6-4, 6-2, 6-2, on Monday to reach the second round of the tournament. The 19th-seed from Thornhill, Ont., opened with a win on another sunny day at Roland Garros after losing in the first round a year ago to German Michael Berrer. "It was good to finally win my first match here," said Raonic. "It was good to play a guy like him, who doesn't give you much. I had to go and win the match." Raonic will next face American qualifier Jesse Levine, who beat Benjamin Becker of Germany 7-5, 6-2, 6-4. "I need to keep doing the right things and I need to work on my serving a bit," said Raonic. "I'll have to go out and play aggressive against him." The Canadian dominated from the start, breaking his Spanish opponent five times with 12 aces. Raonic ended with 58 winners against just 10 for Ramirez Hidalgo. "I put pressure on him and was able to depend on my serve," said Raonic, ranked 22nd on the ATP. "I feel in control as long as I can dictate. I get nervous before all of my matches and I didn't know what to expect from him. "Once I got into my game I relaxed and was able to play within myself." Earlier, fellow Canadian Frank Dancevic exited the tournament after less than 30 minutes on the court, retiring due to a back issue. The Niagara Falls, Ont., native was down 4-0 to Martin Klizan of Slovakia when he pulled out of the first-round match. Dancevic said he was afraid to risk aggravating a back injury he suffered last month in Florida. "I was petrified out there, I didn't know what would happen. I started feeling twinges even during the warm-up and it only got worse during the match," said Dancevic. "I didn't want to mess up my whole summer, it was just not worth it for me." The 28-year-old took treatment after the third game but knew he could not go on. "I wasn't able to play at 100 per cent, I was not in it at all," he said. "I played careful, I was scared to go for anything, I just knew there was no way I could go on." The Canadian is hoping to continue healing and could be a long shot entry into Wimbledon. If not, then he will plan to be ready for the Newport grass event in the U.S. which begins July 9. "I've entered Wimbledon qualifying just in case I'm feeling really great," he said. "I was playing so well in the spring and then I got this injury, for five days I lay on the floor with my legs on a bed, I was immobile. I only started training last week. "But I'm still hoping to come back and play well," said the 120th-ranked Dancevic. "I would like to crack the top 100."
Many moons ago, when being a tennis pro competing in the biggest tournaments in the game was just a dream, Canadians Heidi el Tabakh and Aleksandra Wozniak traveled the junior circuit together with their mothers. They hadn’t seen each other in a long time. And they hadn’t met on the tennis court since both were teenagers, at a small tournament in Hamilton, Ont., in 2005 when el Tabakh led 4-1 in the first set, but had to retire due to injury. Their reunion took place on Court 17 at the French Open Sunday, a rare Grand Slam meeting between two Canadian players. And after el Tabakh got off to a lightning-quick start, the more experienced Wozniak prevailed 7-5, 6-2 and advanced to the second round, where she’ll play the winner between No. 31 seed Zheng Jie of China and Alizé Cornet of France. “It wasn’t fun. I didn’t like it,” said Wozniak of playing someone with whom she has a long history.
“She hit a good ball – very heavy and flat. She went for her shots and I was playing just too short, before I adjusted my game a little bit,” she added. “I was trying to move her around more and I think she struggled with that, when I was placing the balls on the targets with more precision. “And then, it totally changed. In the second set, it was a completely different match.”
Wozniak won just two total points in her first two service games as el Tabakh sprinted out to a 3-0 lead. The 25-year-old resident of Tampa, Fla. led 5-4, and 40-love on her serve, but couldn’t close it out; Wozniak won the next three games to take the first set, and El Tabakh got a little discouraged.
“She ripped a few, and I think I made a mistake or two, and just like that it was level at 5-5,” she said. “I think after that she let loose and picked up her game a little, and I was a little tentative. And after that I think I started going for shots too soon. “She hit a pretty good ball and she hit a ton of balls that were close to the line, an inch in or right on the line. It was tough to keep my ball deep when she attached first,” el Tabakh added. “She returned well, she has a big backhand and nice strokes. I thought it would be a good matchup, and it really was. It was pretty close in the first set.”
El Tabakh began the season out of the top 300 and worked hard on the minor-league circuit in the U.S. to get her ranking to the point where she could be eligible for the qualifying. “To tell you the truth, I didn’t even think I was going to make Roland Garros qualies. And so this is just all a bonus for me,” she said. A four-month break last year – as much physical and mental – allowed a chronic quad injury to heal. It also allowed el Tabakh’s bruised mind to heal.
“It’s tough when you travel by yourself, and you’re injured and you’re trying to play through it and you’re not getting the results. It gets frustrating and after an entire year, it’s just mentally draining,” she said. “The decision for me to take time off was probably one of the best decisions I’ve ever taken. I could have easily kept playing. But mentally I was fresh and I was hungry again, and of course I gave my body a chance to heal because, really, when do we get a chance to take a month off? And I took three or four off. I think that definitely helped.”
The bonus for Wozniak is of an entirely different nature. Had she lost Sunday, her hopes to compete in the Summer Olympics in London in July would have been all but dashed. The rankings to determine the top 56 players who will make it will be the ones issued at the conclusion of the French Open. And Wozniak, currently ranked No. 57, must defend the 160 ranking points she earned a year ago – 60 for getting through the qualifying, another 100 for getting to the second round of the main draw. Wozniak was straight into the main draw this year, and so did not earn any qualifying points. To match those 160 points, she would need to win her second-round match. “It’s a challenging week,” she said. “Those things come to your mind for sure. And we girls, we’re emotional, always thinking too much. We analyze everything when we come into a match. “I will try to focus. No distractions.”
Dubois and Pospisil lose their opening matches Montreal, May 27, 2012 – Main draw play got underway on Sunday at Roland-Garros and four Canadians were in action. Stéphanie Dubois (Laval, QC), Heidi El Tabakh (Toronto, ON), Vasek Pospisil (Vernon, BC) and Aleksandra Wozniak (Blainville, QC) took to the courts to try and book their place in the second round at the second Grand Slam event of the tennis season. After winning three matches to qualify for the main draw, El Tabakh was drawn to play her compatriot Wozniak in the opening round. El Tabakh got off to a strong start, holding a 4-1 lead and had three set points serving at 5-4, 40-0, but Wozniak held her ground to win the match 7-5, 6-2. The 24-year-old Canadian advances to the second round of the French Open for the fifith consecutive year. She will next take on the winner of the first round encounter between Alizé Cornet of France and the tournament’s no. 31 seed Jie Zheng. Dubois and Pospisil fall Dubois was playing in the Roland-Garros main draw for the third time and was looking for her first win as she took on world no. 55 Shahar Peer, but came up short falling 6-2, 6-2. Meanwhile, Pospisil lost a four set match to France’s Édouard Roger-Vasselin 3-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-2. Milos Raonic (Thornhill, ON) and Frank Dancevic (Niagara Falls, ON) will make their 2012 French Open debuts on Monday. Raonic, seeded no. 19, will meet Spaniard Ruben Ramirez-Hidalgo and Dancevic will go up against Martin Klizan of Slovakia.

POUR DIFFUSION IMMÉDIATE WOZNIAK BAT EL TABAKH ET ACCÈDE AU DEUXIÈME TOUR À PARIS Pospisil et Dubois s’inclinent au tour initial Montréal, le 27 mai 2012 – C’est aujourd’hui que le tournoi de Roland-Garros se mettait en branle et quatre Canadiens étaient en action. En effet, Stéphanie Dubois (Laval, QC), Heidi El Tabakh (Toronto, ON), Vasek Pospisil (Vernon, BC) et Aleksandra Wozniak (Blainville, QC) tentaient tous de se tailler une place pour le deuxième tour de la deuxième épreuve du Grand Chelem de la saison. Le tirage avait voulu qu’El Tabakh, qui avait mérité sa place au tableau principal en remportant ses trois matchs de qualification, et que Wozniak s’affrontent dès le premier tour. La Torontoise a connu un bon début de match en prenant rapidement les devants 4-1. Elle a d’ailleurs eu trois balles de manche alors qu’elle servait à 5-4, 40-0. Wozniak a toutefois résisté pour finalement prendre la mesure de sa compatriote par un compte de 7-5 et 6-2. La Blainvilloise accède ainsi au deuxième tour pour une cinquième année consécutive. Elle croisera maintenant le fer avec la gagnante du match opposant la Française Alizé Cornet et la Chinoise Jie Zheng, 31e tête de série.
Dubois et Pospisil s’inclinent Dubois prenait part au tableau principal pour la troisième fois de sa carrière, mais n’avait encore jamais franchi le tour initial. Elle affrontait aujourd’hui l’Israélienne Shahar Peer, 55e joueuse mondiale. La Canadienne a plié l’échine en deux manches identiques de 6-2. Pospisil a lui aussi vu son séjour à la porte d’Auteuil prendre fin alors qu’il s’est incliné face au Français Édouard Roger-Vasselin en quatre manches de 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 et 6-2.
Milos Raonic (Thornhill, ON) et Frank Dancevic (Niagara Falls, ON) feront quant à eux leur entrée en scène demain. Raonic, 19e tête de série, se mesurera à l’Espagnol Ruben Ramirez-Hidalgo tandis que Dancevic sera opposé au Slovaque Martin Klizan.

RAONIC WINS OPENER AT ROLAND-GARROS Dancevic forced to retire Montreal, May 28, 2012 – First round matches continued on Monday in Paris as Canadians Frank Dancevic (Niagara Falls, ON) and Milos Raonic (Thornhill, ON) began 2012 campaigns at Roland-Garros. Raonic, seeded no. 19 in the tournament, was trying to improve on his first round loss last year at the French Open and had the chance to do so against Spaniard Ruben Ramirez Hidalgo. The 21-year-old made quick work of his opponent 6-4, 6-2, 6-2 to advance to the second round at Roland-Garros for the first time in his career. Raonic hit 12 aces and 47 winners in the match. He will face Canadian born American Jesse Levine in round two. Meanwhile, Dancevic’s trip to Paris was a short one as he was forced to retire with a back injury just four games into his first round match against Martin Klizan of Slovakia.

POUR DIFFUSION IMMÉDIATE RAONIC RÉUSSIT SA RENTRÉE À ROLAND-GARROS Dancevic forcé à l’abandon Montréal, le 28 mai 2012 – Les rencontres de premier tour se poursuivaient aujourd’hui alors que les Canadiens Frank Dancevic (Niagara Falls, ON) et Milos Raonic (Thornhill, ON) faisaient leur entrée en scène à Roland-Garros. Raonic, 19e tête de série, tentait de venger sa défaite survenue l’an dernier au tour initial. Il affrontait pour l’occasion l’Espagnol Ruben Ramirez Hidalgo. Le Canadien n’a pas perdu trop d’énergie sur le terrain puisqu’il a facilement pris la mesure de son adversaire en trois manches de 6-4, 6-2 et 6-2. Au cours de ce match, Raonic a réussi 12 aces et un impressionnant total de 47 coups gagnants. Il mérite ainsi sa place au deuxième tour pour la première fois de sa carrière. Il porte également sa fiche en Grand Chelem à sept victoires et cinq défaites. Il croisera maintenant le fer avec l’Américain, anciennement Canadien, Jesse Levine. Dancevic n’aura fait que passer à Paris puisque l’Ontarien a été forcé à l’abandon après avoir disputé seulement quatre jeux. En effet, il perdait 4-0 contre le Slovaque Martin Klizan lorsqu’il a préféré se retirer en raison d’une blessure au dos.
