We love tennis here at Palmetto Dunes! With some 30,000 people coming through the Palmetto Dunes Tennis Center each year and only closing our doors one day a year – on Christmas – we're serious about tennis.
World Tennis Day is coming up March 3, and is an initiative of the United States Tennis Association that supports their charitable arm, providing under-resourced youth and people with disabilities through tennis and educational programs. In celebration of this worldwide day of tennis, we thought we'd share with you 10 reasons why Palmetto Dunes is one of the world's best tennis resorts.
Our Tennis Center has been recognized by Tennis Magazine as the top tennis resort in the Carolinas and one of the 50 greatest tennis resorts since 1975, as well as a top 10 tennis resort by TennisResortsOnline.com and as one of the top tennis resorts in the world by 10Best.com. Here's 10 reasons why:
1) Depth and variety of programming -- During our busy season March-August, we host 43 adult tennis clinics and 27 junior clinics for all skill levels taught by 25 different tennis professionals every week! Choose from tennis lessons, clinics, cardio tennis, round robins, tournaments and more.
2) Variety of tennis courts – When you play tennis at Palmetto Dunes, choose from 23 clay courts and two Nova ProBounce courts. We also have six courts lighted for night play for those balmy summer evenings.
3) FREE tennis – All guests who book their Hilton Head vacation rentals through Palmetto Dunes receive two complimentary hours of tennis court time each day of their stay.
4) Year-round Tennis Tournaments – For 2014, we are hosting 15 different tennis tournaments February through November. Some are closed tournaments through the USTA, for which you need to qualify and be a USTA member, while others are open to all participants. Tournaments are always open for spectators.
5) Combine tennis AND vacation – Palmetto Dunes offers a number of great Hilton Head tennis packages that allow you to combine your vacation with your love of tennis. Enjoy all the amenities of the resort, including its 3 championship Hilton Head golf courses, 3 miles of beach, Shelter Cove Harbour & Marina, Hilton Head bike rentals, 11-mile inland lagoon and so much more.

A complimentary Demo Day is offered every Tuesday March–October where guests can try out all the latest equipment and ask pros their questions.
7) Our staff rocks - "It's unusual for a tennis staff to have been together for so long," says Jackie Reynecke, group coordinator of tennis for the resort. "We're all tennis players at all different levels. Being together as a team, year in and year out, and knowing our guests who return year after year, gives us a special and unique ability to service them."
8) We're family friendly – The Palmetto Dunes Tennis Center offers more than 25 junior tennis clinics weekly March through August, and we've even completed a shortening of our courts for players 10 and younger per new regulations from the USTA. We also offer adult and junior programs at the same time so the whole family can get tennis instruction at once.
9) We're just plain fun - We have a daily adult round robin that makes for a fun social competition, as well as a Monday night exhibition March through October, with complimentary beer, wine, lemonade, door prizes and plenty of jokes from our Director of Tennis Instruction Brian Kiggans. Whether you're joining a group tennis clinic or private lesson, the staff at Palmetto Dunes Tennis Center always makes sure "fun" is a top priority when you're on their courts.
10) Our instruction is top notch – Twenty-five different tennis professionals, all with years of experience, lead instruction each week during the busy season. They are able to customize to each guests' playing ability or set up a custom program for a group. Guests can also select up to 6 ½ hours of instructional programming a day, so they can play as much or as little as they want.

Beyond the quality and number of courts, Tennis Magazine called out our wide variety of tennis lessons and clinics. From our Junior Programs, such as our Short Shorts Clinic, to our Daily Round Robins, we have lessons and programs for the whole family. Plus, last year, we added a shortened court for children's play to follow new tournament regulations.

Lots of women come through the Palmetto Dunes Tennis Center each year, and one complaint that we've heard a lot is about their tennis bags. They are often too large and bulky for the average woman to haul around. That's why we started carrying the very stylish and sleek Life Is Tennis JETPAC bag.
Designed by a female tennis player for women, these bags come in a variety of shapes and sizes while also allowing you to pick from lots of fun patterns. The Winter collection provides prints such as Enchantment, Reptilian and Silver Vogue. Here at Palmetto Dunes we carry many different styles, including small and large slings, as well as totes.

Next month is the start of two months full of tennis tournaments here in Hilton Head, S.C. While we're preparing for four tournaments hosted here in September and October, one of our team members is preparing to head west for a California tournament!
Our very own Mary Jackson, group coordinator at the Palmetto Dunes Tennis Center, is headed to the United States Tennis Association (USTA) Nationals in Rancho Mirage, Calif.! At the tournament, held Oct. 14-16, she will represent the Southern Section in the 4.5 Senior Women's division. This is a huge honor and one that Mary and her team worked very hard to achieve.
Here is a blurb from Hilton Head's Island Packet newspaper about their win: "The senior 4.5 women's team from Palmetto Dunes Tennis Club brought back a title Tuesday from the USTA League Southern Section Championships in Mobile, Ala. The team finished 5-0 in the tournament and lost just one court in the five matches, wrapping up the championship by breezing to a 3-0 victory in the finals against a squad from Atlanta."
We're so proud of Mary and her entire team and wish them the best of luck at USTA Nationals. If you want to come learn from some of the best, check out all of our wonderful tennis clinics here at Palmetto Dunes!
from Tennis Resorts Online. The oceanfront resort was the only resort in Hilton Head ranked in the top 5 for instruction, junior programs and children's programs and in the top 10 for overall resorts. These rankings mean a lot to us, because they are generated from actual visitors to resorts across the globe.
Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort was also named No. 2 in the world for Best Instruction and Programs and ranked 8th in the world for Top Tennis Resorts. We also scored top marks for our junior and children programs, ranking it 3rd in the world for Best Overall Children's programs and 4th for Best Junior Tennis programs. We are so proud of our Tennis Center and hope to see you all on the courts soon!

"The Chicago Summit made clear the importance that NATO continues to attach to the Open Door Policy and to the Western Balkans region. We want to move enlargement forward," the Deputy Secretary General said. "Courageous political decisions are needed so that your country's strategic goal of NATO and EU membership can be achieved. Because the future of this whole region is integration in the Euro-Atlantic family," he added.
During his visit, Ambassador Vershbow met with Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski, Minister of Foreign Affairs Nikola Poposki, Minister of Defence Fatmir Besimi and with the President of the Democratic Union for Integration Mr Ali Ahmeti, which is a key member of the coalition government.

PELHAM -- Two dozen people responded to Pelham Ice Garden founder Chris Mader's call for volunteers to build the outdoor ice rink at Lyons Park over the weekend, enabling the popular winter recreation facility to return for a fifth year.
The rink, including the perimeter boards and liner, was erected "in record time, less than two hours," Mader said.
A Pelham Fire Department tanker truck provided the water to flood the rink in advance of freezing temperatures that were expected before the new year.
Depending on the weather, the rink was expected to be open to skating by New Year's Day, Mader said.
Mader noted that Pelham's outdoor ice rink tradition has continued where similar volunteer-run rinks have failed in surrounding communities, including in Chelmsford.
The Pelham Ice Garden opened its residents-only outdoor rink in 2008 when 12 full-time volunteers helped operate it during the inaugural season. In 2009 and 2010, there were seven full-time volunteers, who Mader dubbed "rink captains," with that number dropping to five last winter.
As of last week, only four rink captains had signed up as regular volunteers for the 2012-2013 season at the Ice Garden, Mader said.
Anyone who can operate a lawn tractor, walk on ice, and lift items up to 10 pounds would be physically able to maintain the ice on a regular basis and would qualify to act as a rink captain. Mader urged volunteers who wish to be rink captains to contact Pelham Recreation Director Brian Johnson at 603-635-2721, or email him at firstname.lastname@example.com.
New this winter following snowstorms, the Pelham Ice Garden operation will receive a welcome boost from Pelham High School students seeking to accumulate community-service hours by shoveling off the rink.
"This alone makes maintaining the ice in 2013 much easier for all of the volunteers," said Mader of the high-school students' involvement. "So we owe a huge thank you to these kids and Pelham Parks and Recreation for coordinating this effort."
Setting his sights on continuing the town's outdoor-rink tradition for future winters, Mader has established the Pelham Ice Garden as a nonprofit 501-c3 organization, making it eligible to receive donations toward a much-needed new rink liner for next season.
"We try not to solicit for donations unless they are really needed, but we will need to purchase a new liner for the rink next season which costs $2,000, and we only have $350 in the account at the present time," Mader informed the town's residents and business owners.
Mader said tax-deductible contributions can be made by checks made out to "Pelham Ice Rink," c/o Chris Mader, 30 Primrose Lane, Pelham NH, 03076.

By Hanna Rosin
There is a small mouse-like marsupial that lives in Australia, South America, and Papua New Guinea and that will die for love. In a brief and frenzied mating season, the males of this species will compete desperately for the attention of the females, mate frantically with them, and get so stressed out by the experience that they will die, tragically, like an army of Romeos. The phenomenon is known as "synchronized suicidal reproduction," or more technically, "semelparity." It is more common among plants, fish, and spiders than mammals, although biologists have known about this particular marsupial's reckless habits for at least 30 years.
What biologists haven't known is why the marsupial would willingly subject himself to such heartbreak, year after year. There have been several hypotheses floated over the decades, but as Diana Fisher of the University of Queensland and her team of researchers show in a paper published this month, those hypotheses are implausible. Fisher and her team spent more than a decade observing the mating behavior of the marsupials and broke through years of clotted thinking about the phenomenon. In so doing, they inadvertently reveal how even something so straightforward as biological observation gets thoroughly distorted by our narrow human lens on gender dynamics and sex.
The researchers compared 52 different species of a creature of the Dasyuridae family of marsupials from different habitats. For the species who live in higher latitudes, the insects they eat are only available in abundance for brief periods, and the females synchronize their mating season to coincide with the food. They send out the signal and the males come swarming. The males try to mate with as many females as possible in sex sessions that can last up to 14 hours. During these marathon bouts of copulation, the males release high levels of hormones, including testosterone, which in turn elevates stress hormones. "If we humans get huge stress, we have a feedback system and we bring it down," Fisher said. "But the marsupials just keep ramping it up more and more and are driven to spend all their time mating competitively."
Why did researchers fail to see for so long that females were the sexual aggressors?
For years there were two reigning theories about this phenomenon, both of which made the males seem quite noble. The first was that the males fight for the females, and that elevates their stress hormones. "This has not turned out to be true," Fisher wrote me. "They don't fight." And even if they did, she pointed out, fighting would be fast and intermittent, not long and sustained. The second theory was that the males are altruistic, and die off to ensure that there is sufficient food for the next generation, a reason commonly cited in nature documentaries. But Fisher calls this one "implausible" as well. Natural selection, she writes, acts at the level of individuals passing on their genes, not populations of males acting for the good of the species. In this case, the males "mate themselves to death" says Fisher, in order to ensure that they, and not the next marsupial, will get as many sperm as possible into the female. They just won't stop, until they are good and empty, and apparently they have very large testes so it takes a while.
In fact, what previous researchers have missed is that the mating behavior is entirely driven by the females. They synchronize their reproductive cycles to coincide with the available food, they determine the length of the mating season, and they are very, very promiscuous, mating with as many males as possible, indiscriminately — old, young, fit, not fit, any old marsupial will do. (In Fisher's paper she calls the females "polyandrous.") The males are powerless in this process and have very little agency. They have to adjust themselves to the schedule set by the females, and that schedule is so stressful that they die.
Apparently, overlooking female control is a common "oops" in animal mating research. Daniel Bergner's recent book, "What Do Women Want?" describes the great fallacy of monkey sex studies. For many years the reigning theory was that in rhesus monkeys, males initiate sex. But it turned out that this was only true in cages. Once they started to observe the monkeys in the wild, researchers saw something very different. The males would lurk at the edges of female-run domains. "The females invited them to serve sexually. The males remained — desirable, dispensable — until the females lost interest in them. Then they were dismissed, replaced." Why did researchers fail to see for so long that females were the sexual aggressors? Because we want to believe that "the female libido is limited and that women are monogamy's natural guardians," writes Bergner.
Luckily the blinkers are coming off. Fisher says that when molecular techniques to do genetic fingerprinting became more available and affordable in the 2000s, researchers realized that, for example, bird pairs once thought monogamous were doing a lot of "extra-pair mating," known in the human world as cheating, and that female promiscuity was fairly widespread in the animal kingdom. "It had not occurred to researchers that females were driving so much competition (and evolution) this way and it seemed surprising and needing explanation," says Fisher. "Now this field of sexual selection from the point of view of females gets a lot of attention." It takes years of patient observation to reverse received wisdom — a decade in Fisher's case. But it seems only a matter of time before marsupials start burning their bras.

On the southern coast of the Gulf of Finland lies Tallinn, the capital and main seaport of Estonia. Though the city has been bombed and pillaged many times throughout the ages, much of the town as it was in medieval times remains. Atmospheric streets serve as home to the palaces of Castle Hill. Ancient convents, steepled churches and handsome guild houses are all preserved as they were in Tallinn's Old Town area, which was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

A group of old houses called Three Sisters has been converted into a hotel, and hosted Queen Elizabeth II during her overnight visit to Tallinn in October 2006. On Pikk Street, you'll see the remains of former merchant homes, along with the imposing merchants guild, House of the Blackheads. The first religious services in Estonia were held at the Church of Holy Spirit, which is still in operation today, and features a 17th-century street clock.
Continue on to Town Hall Square, the central square of Old Tallinn, where you'll have an opportunity to buy some typical Estonia souvenirs, including woolen socks, wooden toys and linen clothing. From there, you'll visit the Dominician Monastery to enjoy a short concert of ancient music.

NAVARRO MILLS, Tex. — A member of this small town's volunteer fire department is among those dead after an explosion at a fertilizer plant in West, Texas, Wednesday night.
The family of Perry Calvin, 37, a member of the Navarro Mills Fire Department since 1996, confirmed his death to the Corsicana Daily Sun late Thursday afternoon.
Phil Calvin, chief of the Navarro Mills Fire Department and Perry Calvin's father, said his son was attending an EMT training class in West when an alarm alerted him to a blaze at the fertilizer plant.
"He and another boy (classmate) responded to the fire alarm for the West Fire Department," said the father. "They got to the fire scene before the explosion. They were both right there at the explosion site."
The body of the classmate, a volunteer firefighter from another county, was found in the plant rubble Thursday morning, officials said.
Calvin was initially reported missing in the aftermath of the blast. His pickup truck had been found at the scene of the explosion, but there was no trace of him.
Officials initially reported up to 15 people killed - and more than 160 injured - in the explosion. They backed away from that estimate later Thursday, refusing to give an estimate of the casualties.
Details for this story were provided by the Corsicana, Tex., Daily Sun.

I wanted him to come here but later thought the same as BucNY, he's 30 and coming off the worst type of injury. Specially since he's undersized and relied strictly on his jump to stay competitive. This would be a terrible signing, I would rather have the money tied in someone more worth it.
You were simply too smart for me.
This is wha makes me laugh at all the people saying no to revis and then turn around and say sign grimes. Grimes is older, not as good, commands good money (not revis money), and also has a knee injury.I guess being an older, not as good athlete makes sense because you save a few million and keep a draft pick?
Who cares about Grimes when we can have Revis?
You are lucky he didn't punch you. Sign Winfield. He can be scrappy for this upcoming season.

By The Associated Press
DETROIT (AP) -- A close aide to former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick testified in federal court Tuesday that looking out for the interests of a contractor was a regular part of his job. Derrick Miller returned to the witness stand for a second day in Kilpatrick's corruption trial. The ex-mayor already is on parole for a state obstruction of justice conviction. A prosecutor on Tuesday took Miller through text messages in which contractor Bobby Ferguson knocks his demolition competitors. Kilpatrick's text response was "Cool!" Kilpatrick, his father, Bernard, and Ferguson are charged with running a criminal enterprise by rigging contracts and taking payoffs. Miller said he took a trip to Puerto Rico in 2003 with Kilpatrick, Ferguson and then-Detroit water boss Victor Mercado to look at aqueducts. The water department was a source of city work for Ferguson. Miller testified Monday about delivering bribes to Kilpatrick from another contractor. Miller pleaded guilty to corruption in 2011. Also Tuesday, a state official said authorities are investigating a $2,000 gift to Kilpatrick from a Chicago pastor. Prisons spokesman Russ Marlan said Kilpatrick is required to report gifts to his parole officer but made no mention of the December cash. Detroit TV station WJBK showed video of Kilpatrick counting cash from the wire transfer at a Walmart store in Macomb County. Kilpatrick called it a "trivial" matter Tuesday. Kilpatrick was convicted four years ago of obstruction of justice in Wayne County court. He still owes $800,000 in restitution to the city of Detroit and is on trial on federal corruption charges. The $2,000 came from Chicago's New Beginnings Church. The Rev. Corey Brooks said Kilpatrick was pleading for help.

The term pulmonary hypertension refers to high blood pressure in the lungs. While in regular hypertension (also known as high blood pressure), the arteries throughout the body are constricted, PH affects only the blood vessels in the lungs and the right side of the heart.
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a general term used to describe high blood pressure in the lungs from any cause.
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a chronic and currently incurable disease that causes the walls of the arteries of the lungs to tighten and stiffen. In someone with PAH, the right side of the heart has to work harder to push blood through narrowed arteries in the lungs. Eventually, the extra stress causes the heart to enlarge and become less flexible, compromising the heart's ability to push blood out of the heart, through the lungs, and into the rest of the body.
In idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension, the cause of PAH is unknown.
Heritable PAH, formerly known as familial or genetic PAH, is a form of PAH that can be inherited. Heritable PAH is relatively uncommon. Of the small percentage of people who do carry the PH gene, only a small number of carriers will develop the disease. Learn more about heritable PAH | Learn what genetics can teach us about PAH
In associated pulmonary arterial hypertension, the PAH is associated with another disease or condition. PAH is commonly associated with connective tissue diseases (such as scleroderma, CREST syndrome and lupus), congenital heart disease, chronic liver disease, HIV, drugs and toxins, and more.
There are some other types of pulmonary arterial hypertension, but they aren't quite as common.
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a form of pulmonary hypertension caused by old blood clots in the lungs (pulmonary embolism). Learn more about CTEPH
Explore the classifications of PH below for more information about the other types of PH.
The World Health Organization (WHO) first defined the classifications of pulmonary hypertension in 1973 and the classifications have been revised over the years. The classifications of PH were most recently updated in Dana Point, California, in 2008.
1. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) 1.1. Idiopathic 1.2. Heritable 1.2.1. BMPR2 1.2.2. ALK1, endoglin (with or without hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia) 1.2.3. Unknown 1.3. Drug- and toxin-induced 1.4. Associated with: 1.4.1. Connective tissue diseases 1.4.2. HIV infection 1.4.3. Portal Hypertension 1.4.4. Congenital heart diseases 1.4.5. Schistosomiasis 1.4.6. Chronic hemolytic anemia 1.5. Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn
1'. Pulmonary veno-occlusive disease (PVOD) and/or pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis (PCH)
2. Pulmonary hypertension owing to left heart disease 2.1. Systolic dysfunction 2.2. Diastolic dysfunction 2.3. Valvular disease
3. Pulmonary hypertension owing to lung disease and/or hypoxia 3.1. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease 3.2. Interstitial lung disease 3.3. Other pulmonary diseases with mixed restrictive and obstructive pattern 3.4. Sleep-disordered breathing 3.5. Alveolar hypoventilation disorders 3.6. Chronic exposure to high altitude 3.7. Developmental abnormalities
4. Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH)
5. Pulmonary hypertension with unclear multifactorial mechanisms 5.1. Hematologic disorders: myeloproliferative disorders, splenectomy 5.2. Systemic disorders: sarcoidosis, pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis, lymphangioleimoyomatosis, neurofibromatosis, vasculitis 5.3. Metabolic disorders: glycogen storage disease, Gaucher disease, thyroid disorders 5.4. Others: tumoral obstruction, fibrosing mediastinitis, chronic renal failure on dialysis

CNHI News Service
OTTUMWA, Iowa — The idea for the school drama department to stage "The Laramie Project'' – a play about a Wyoming teen who was beaten to death because he was gay – is drawing mixed reviews in this small southeast Iowa community.
The students' initial reaction was one of excitement, but that thrill was short-lived when School Supt. Davis Eidahl nixed plans for the performance.
"The Laramie Project" by Moisés Kaufman shows the challenges faced by a town after a young man is murdered.
"None of us can understand why they are shying away from it," said Jordan Young, 16, a student who is secretary of the Ottumwa High School drama club. "The principal [of OHS] wants to get away from bullying, and he has initiatives he really [pushes]. So to hit so hard on a show that addresses bullying, it makes no sense."
Eidahl said the decision wasn't so much the play but rather the intensity of the adult subject matter. "The rationale is we really want to produce and showcase family-friendly productions, where all family members can come," he said.
The debate has turned into what role schools play in dealing with bullies and how students must be taught to address destructive behavior problems.
"Senseless acts of bullying for reasons of differences like those [depicted in] this documentary are a great lesson to be learned," Eidahl said "But is it the only way we can get this point across? No. It's not about one play, one initiative or one assembly; it's about creating a sense of belonging each and every day."
In a letter to the editor, Kayla Rowe, an OHS graduate, said students deal with difficult social issues daily and it is critical they learn how to properly address them.
"We have a responsibility as a society to face issues, such as the one presented in The Laramie Project, because without recognizing and tackling them, we are doomed to keep struggling with them without resolution," she wrote.
The students said they were hopeful the superintendent would change his decision.
Details for this story were provided by the Ottumwa (Iowa) Courier.

Comments On Aug 26, 2013:This is a great brake line. Not only does it work way better than stock, but it also looks way better than stock with the option of color matching to your bike. This brake line does not expand when you squeeze the brake lever and it has a great feel at the lever giving your better braking control.

Comments On Mar 11, 2013:I had the bike for about 2 months before ordering the steel brake line and I am extremely impressed with how much better the feel to the brake is and the stopping power. The brake used to feel spongy and now is much stronger. I now plan on buying the rear brake line.
