Is this tennis/golf elbow?
Hey everyone,
I've had some discomfort for a good 5 weeks on my elbows, but much more noticeable in the right one. I play tennis about once week and go to the gym 2-3 times a week since last July and never had any issues. However starting december i weighted lifts (biceps, upper back and shoulders) right after a yoga class, which i had never done before, additionally i stupidly increased the weight and overall intensity in an effort to compensate for not having done much exercise wise on that particular week. Next day i played tennis and was demoing a racquet which had kevlar on the mains and i think nylon on the crosses, previously i had only ever used nylon i think.
Next day after that i started to feel some pain on both elbows but much more noticeable on the right one. I'm right handed and use a OHBH. So i was thinking that maybe increasing the weight training all of a sudden on what were perhaps very stretched joints due to the yoga class may have been the problem, and being right handed that was the arm that would suffer most.
However time has passed and the discomfort is still there. Initially the pain was really only noticeable when i rotated my forearm with a 90 degree bent arm, after some time that went away and now i mainly feel it when i stretch my right arm to its max. While playing tennis i haven't felt issues, except a sporadic small amount of pain on the OHBH. However i've only played maybe 3-4 times since the issues began.
Left elbow is ok, but if i carry say a lot of groceries with it for an extended time i'll also feel some discomfort when i stretch it out afterwards.
It seems clear to me that tennis didn't cause this, but obviously it may not help the issue, so i wanted to hear your thoughts. Another thing to note is that after the first week of rest i did a workout session at the gym (with less weight, being real careful) and the pain completely went away for the next 2-3 days of that session, but eventually returned. I haven't done any weights or yoga since then. The pain is located on the outer part of the arm, just above the elbow itself. Final thing to note is my work involves using a mouse all day long, so just in case i've started to use the mouse with my left arm for about 3 days to see if that helps a little.
In this forum i've read about the flexbar and may try it if i find it locally .
Thoughts? thanks!

I use the green flexbar, and I like it. If you can't find it locally, you can get it on Amazon.

My TE was brought on by poor computer posture and then I blamed it
on tennis because I was trying out a 1 handed backhand. Its only when
adjustments to my neck and shoulder alleviated the pain that I made
the connection.
Hope u get better soon.

Tennis Elbow, Golfer's Elbow, A picture of tendon healing
I am not educated in this subject so double check each point.
Tennis elbow refers to injuries where the tendons from the lower arm connect at the elbow.
Tennis Elbow. 90 % cases are injuries to the upper outside of the elbow (as shown in reply #3 by rufusgood). Known as Tennis Elbow or Lateral Epicondylitis (search terms). Backhand technique is often mentioned as a cause. The book by D. Knudsen, Biomechanical Principles of Tennis Technique, describes the angle of the wrist as being very important for preventing injury. When I bend my wrist as recommended I get a stronger 1hbh backhand. I give credence to the wrist angle as being important.
Golfer's Elbow also called Tennis Elbow. 10 % of cases are injuries to the inner side of the elbow on the bony prominence, medial epcondyle. Know as Golfer's Elbow or medial epcondylitis. I have assumed the term "golfer's elbow" comes about because when golfer's swing and accidentally hit the ground it can injury the tendon at the medial epicondyle. Forehand technique can cause and serving maybe also, other motions? I got golfer's elbow suddenly trying to add pace to my volley with very poor technique.
My version of what is likely to be going on for tendon injuries in general based on what I have read.
I have read that tendon injuries usually occur at the tendon-bone connection or at the tendon-muscle connection rather than within the tendon itself. The tendons for both above injuries attach at the elbow bone over some small area, known as the "origin" of the muscle. These injuries on the epicondyles are therefore probably the tendon-bone type injury. Let's say that the tendon connects to the bone over a small area, say, for discussion an area of 3 square centimeters. Pain probably indicates some part of this area is injured, let's say 0.5 square centimeters is injured. Let's say the tendon is peeling off the bone in the 0.5 square centimeters where the strain was too great (during a tennis stroke). 0.5 square centimeters of the 3 square centimeter connection is involved in the injury and gives pain. Immediately healing starts. Now the injured person must decide what to do.
I read in the Repetitive Strain Injury Handbook, pg 141, a brief description by Dr John Cianca. He said that playing on a new acute tennis elbow injury for more than a few weeks may cause the injury to heal with permanently weakened tendon tissue on the microscopic level. I would like to find more references on this subject as it may be very important in helping some people avoid chronic tendon injuries. I believe that my golfer's elbow healed because I stopped playing tennis completely after reading Dr Cianca's comments. In the meantime please don't play with tennis elbow and especially with a new tennis elbow or golfer's elbow tendon injury.

Info on pinched nerves
Since you have the pain in both elbows.
My son gets some numbness in his fingers and arms after working out for a few months. He researched it and found that pinched nerves were one possibility. The various nerves that travels down the arm can get pinched, perhaps at the shoulder. Pain & numbness can result.
Some information:
Obviously there are many possibilities so you need to see a qualified doctor to get a proper diagnosis.

That is likely TE. If you don't have a backhand preference, definitely go with a 2 hander. That will take a lot of stress off your elbow.

Chas, thanks so much for your detailed answers and great links. What's harder is that i feel that even though i've been playing sporadically, i'm doing things i couldn't do before with the ball so it's frustrating having to accept that i may be better off giving it some rest. Regarding pinched nerve, i don't really feel numbness.
Mikeler, i think i'll give the 2hbh a try before deciding to give tennis a rest for a few months.

But if you go back through several pages of the Health & Fitness Forum here on Talk Tennis, you'll see so many suffering from tennis elbow that it will seem like an epidemic.
The most common link in all is that they all thought they could "play through it" initially, without taking a rest.
But continuing to play means the inflammation continues.
I just can't see your tennis elbow improving continuing to play, even if you do switch to a 2HBH.
Normal tendons look a lot like a cable or rope in cross section, composed of many long fibers wound together and very organized to withstand the tremendous forces making our bones move by attaching muscle to bone.
What tennis elbow represents is a tear, or multiple small tears in the tendon:
White blood cells are attracted to the site of the tear.
The white blood cells release chemicals [cytokines] to attract the type of cells [fibroblasts] that will make the tiny protein strands that will repair the tears.
The protein strands are just like a spider's web - potentially as strong as steel - but not until the strands are all cross linked together.
It takes many weeks for the strands to cross link and get their full strength.
Bashing a tennis ball too soon means that the strands will be broken again and again.
The result is a weakened tendon that never seems to heal, and yet remains inflamed and painful because the body is desperately attempting to repair it all the while you are destroying the progess made over the previous few days.
The result can be a disarrayed jumble of scar tissue and tendon at your arm that is never going to be normal (degenerated tendon or "tendonosis"):
Try to spare yourself from all the misery by resting now.
[Even "rest" for most is not total rest, as we give our elbow a workout just in our activities of daily living. But at least we are not anywhere close to developing the forces to disrupt the tendon repair that we incur from bashing a tennis ball.]
[Hold off from using the Flexbar green until pain has gone away. The red Flexbar can be used earlier to begin some range of motion movements (NOT strengthening exercise) and the Flexbar green can be used later for the actual strengthening.]
[Also later after all the pain has gone away, dumbell wrist curls, reverse wrist curls and pronation/supination wrist excises can strengthen the forearm muscles and help prevent a recurrence. These are the last 4 exercises of the thrower's ten: http://www.muhlenberg.edu/pdf/main/a...throwers10.pdf But why not do all the exercises and help avoid a shoulder injury, the other bain of tennis players?]
[Don't return to tennis until you have strengthened the forearm muscles with the flexbar green and those dumbell exercises above.
When you do return, use a flexible frame and soft (multilfilament or natural gut strings.)
Start with short hitting sessions and lengthen them slowly over time, as recurrences of tennis elbow are all too common.
If pain recurs, you should put off your return until the pain again resolves.
Hold off serving until you clearly can do hitting sessions without pain occuring.]

You don't know what your injury is
You don't know if you have tennis elbow. Maybe you gave yourself some muscle or similar tendon tears at the gym and have not let them heal? Tendon injuries take a long time to heal (see the Charliefedererer reply referenced my earlier reply). You take a risk diagnosing and treating yourself. Playing tennis with a tendon injury is one of the worst treatments. Resting a tendon injury for two weeks when tendons take 2-6 months to heal............ You would have to see a Dr for a diagnosis.
I take TE very seriously as I believe that it was nearly a tennis show- stopper for me 2-3 years ago. I had one tennis friend, about 40, with chronic tennis elbow. A few times he would take off tennis completely for 6 months and it would be right back as soon as he started playing again. He quit tennis. A pathetic thing as he was an excellent player who loved tennis. I have another friend with TE who is now in the chronic/not chronic stage, he took off for 2 months, it came right back and he has stopped again. ? When I got golfer's elbow I bought one of those elbow straps. I subbed in a match with 3 other players that I did not know. All 4 of us had TE elbow straps! I'm glad that I stopped tennis in time.

I had golfer's elbow for about a year. I tried all kinds of stretches, exercises, bands, braces, equipment changes, etc, but ultimately what worked was just not playing tennis for a few months and allowing my elbow to heal.

@Charliefedererer, thanks for the excellent and very informative post, what you're saying makes sense and i'll be very careful about my next move, i'll definitely follow your advice.
@Chas and everyone else, going from above images/descriptions i can say for sure the pain is not what is known as TE. It's hard for me to tell you exactly where it is but it's definitely not where those images show it. I've googled a bit and the best description i have is that if i'm standing straight, arm in resting position, and then i stretch the elbow really hard, i feel pain around or just above the cubital tunnel. This is true of both arms but the right one will cause more pain with less effort. Regardless, i guess rest is in order, but i'll follow yours and other's advice once i get back to tennis.
I'll go the the therapist that helped me some months ago with my knees (i'm now using orthotics, worked great) and see what his take is on my issue.
So what do you people think in terms of rest/other sports? I like table tennis quite a bit and the other thing i like doing is basketball but sounds like elbows get a work out there too. Running is fine but can't really replace tennis as a sport. How about cycling? i guess a good deal of impact goes into the elbow but i haven't climbed onto a bike since i was in school. I see nowadays they have front suspension so that may help?
Oh and those are great links Chas, i'll be checking them out too, thanks!

It's great to hear you have no intention of slowing down even if you have to take some time off from bashing that fuzzy yellow ball.
While you have to swing your arms running and there is some jarring riding a bike, the forces are no where near those involved in firing a forehand/backhand winner or service ace.
Agility drills http://assets.usta.com/assets/1/USTA...oc_437_269.pdf or High Intensity Interval Training http://www.intervaltraining.net/hiit.html may not initially seem your cup of tea, but if you try them, they seem more exhilarating if you time yourself, and track your progress. There is something about competition - with someone else - or even just against your best time - that somehow can make all the difference.
I ran my sprints Monday as usual on a football field next to the tennis courts. While I am hardly a kid, I can feel like one as the 50 yard line suddenly appears in just a few seconds, then actually enjoy the struggle to finish the next 50 strong even with only a short interval from the last sprint.
Are there playing fields, parks, woods, hills or neighborhoods that would be worth a run or bike ride through near you. You can start out in a slower mode, but you can also "attack" them more aggressively in a HIIT like pattern of maximal effort alternating with a stretch to "catch your breath".
If your knees are not great for running, a lot of gyms are running "specials" right now for a couple of months, catering to those with a "New Year's Resolution" to "get fit". Some of stair climbers, cross country skiiers, and other equipment can be easier on your knees. Some of the electronics on these may seem glitzy, but again can be motivational.
Kudos for checking with you therapist on what would be advisable.
For many tennis players, the thought has gone through their head - if I got into better shape, would it really help my tennis?
This may just be your opportunity to find out.

Thanks Charliefederer, that does lift my spirits. And yes i go to a university campus where i run a 4 km circuit and they also have a sand voleyball court that i like to use barefooted, i find it to be good for my knees (i'm flat footed). There's also a gym at work but I get really bored with the stationary machines, though i'll continue to do lifts for things not involving my arms.
Anyways i have an appointment with a therapist tomorrow (not my previous one as he's out of the country at the moment), so i hope he'll be good.
Thanks again!

I mean how long it takes to heal? 2/3/4 months?
Have you changed your racquet? what brand/model?
String setup?
Finally Age/level? just to compare.
I've been out for a month or so, doing some therapy tried to go back changing my frame to PK Ki5 295 and 315.

Tennis elbow?
Hi to all,
I've had pain in my elbow and wrist for months now. The doctor said the wrist is just sore (attempting to return a deep ball with my backhand), but my elbow pain remains a mystery. It is on the inside of the elbow (facing my body). I use an elbow band but to no avail: the pressure is not on the sore spot. I play every day, about two hours and have tennis lessons once a week. I use a babolat aero pro with polyurethane strings. Has anyone had something similar?

Another insane ploy using animals to make money, guised as educational and many other things, but in essence is cruelty and robbing the bird of it's seasonal environment which is where their 'purpose' for living really is.
Posted by: Debbie Baker on 16 Apr ' 12 at 10:38
What absolutely insanity, imprisoning such beautiful mammals for the sake of a few circus tricks which earn money, but guised as other things, one being 'educational'. This is not funny nor entertaining and the dolphins definitely are not 'smiling'. Don't go and see these performances which go against the nature of such beings.

Horrific. These should be in the sea and not in a tank - no matter how big it is - it's not big enough.
Posted by: Debbie Baker on 16 Apr ' 12 at 10:34
A good example of mammals in captivity in the guise of understanding them, or protecting them, and many other 'excuses' instead of the real money making reason. Do not encourage this by visiting such places.

- View the underwater reef and marine creatures
- Seasonal whale watching and wildlife spotting
- Great photo opportunities
- Return shuttle cruise to the submarine dive site
- Choice of morning and afternoon departure times
- Professional narration available in English and Japanese
Recent Photos of This Tour
What You Can Expect
To enhance your submarine experience, and help improve the marine environment, an artificial reef was created in December 2005. An aged replica of a 19th-century supply vessel was anchored to the sandy sea floor in an area that was devoid of coral reef. The resulting artificial reef is developing into a self-sustaining habitat for indigenous fish, coral and other marine life.
From December through May, you may enjoy whale watching during the ship-to-shore journey to your Maui submarine as humpback whales make their annual migration through the warm Pacific waters.

Unique and relaxing experience all safely done. For those of us who cannot snorkel , this is the closest you can be to experiencing the magical underwater world of reefs and live coral not to mention a ship- wreak.This short journey brings you very close almost eye to eye with the tropical fish, turtles and a myriad of marine animals, including live coral.
Definitely worth it.

This tour was amazing!

Great ski weekend house!
Stayed here recently for a ski weekend with a bunch of friends during presidents day weekend - we had a great time skiing nearby at Stowe, sledding at the house, hot tubing, playing games and relaxing! Was a great house for a large group of people and would definitely come back!
Loved it!
This was our first trip to Stowe and our first experience doing a rental with HomeAway. Description of location and layout was great-only complaint here was the sign is kinda small with the overgrowth-easier to spot coming from the south than the north. Well equiped as described. Property was clean and well maintained, more instructions as to the workings of the house would have been helpful-had to call 911 after the house filled with smoke when we built a fire and the flu wasn't open as we thought. There is no local or network TV although there is a satillite.Property not handicap accessible, no wheelchair ramps, no .handrails to deck and the inside stairway is open on one side.The views are beautiful and location is easy commute all over Vermont. We went the week before Columbus weekend, 2009. The trees were beautiful even though we had overcast skies. There was fog over the mountains, but the sun came out when we reached the top of the mountain on the gondola.Stowe Lantern tour was fun but would recommend going the begining of your stay as we learned interesting facts that we would have liked to explore. Owner was great to work with-would highly recommend this property and hope to visit again sometime.
Luxury farmhouse
This is a warm and luxurious farmhouse set in total privacy amidst surrounding woods and fields. The kitchen is very well equipped, the bedrooms are comfortable and spread throughout the home. The in-law suite is huge and private. The "dog house" cabin is a perfect "get-away" for the kids. We stayed in Summer but this would be a perfect base for a ski vacation too. The home is very well-cared for and the owner easy to work with. We will be back!

This case docket contains details of SPLC legal actions.
Cotton mill workers contracted brown lung, or byssinosis, by inhaling tiny dust particles on a daily basis as they went about their work. The Center sued, achieving a breakthrough financial settlement and regulations to protect the health and safety of cotton mill workers.
The United States Supreme Court struck down Alabama's "kill 'em or let 'em go" death penalty statute in a landmark decision that reversed the Alabama State Supreme Court and vacated the death sentences of plaintiff Gilbert Beck and 10 other men on death row.
In this landmark sex discrimination case, two Alabama women applied for jobs traditionally reserved for men. One sought to become a state trooper, the other a correctional officer; both were rejected. The Supreme Court's landmark decision in favor of the women opened doors nationwide for women to be hired in law enforcement careers.
Although this constitutional challenge to horrific conditions at a juvenile center was filed by other lawyers in 1975, the Center and the Mississippi Center for Justice took over in 2003 to enforce a judgment that had been ignored for more than 25 years.
Conditions in Alabama's prisons were an inhumane nightmare - violent, overcrowded and unsanitary. In a 1976 landmark ruling, a federal judge declared the prisons "wholly unfit for human habitation" and ordered detailed reforms.
In 1973, SPLC won a landmark federal court order requiring white-owned mortuaries to offer full embalming and burial services for blacks.
The Relf sisters challenged the constitutionality of government regulations that allowed federal funds to be used to sterilize minors and mentally-challenged women who were not competent to consent to the procedure.
As late as 1972, there was not a single African American Alabama state trooper in a state that is one-quarter black. African Americans were refused jobs as troopers, but were easily hired as janitors. The SPLC filed suit, challenging the state's blatant racial discrimination.
In the early 1970s, several private segregated academies were allowed to use public recreational facilities in Montgomery, Ala., for football and baseball games – a practice that meant taxpayers were subsidizing these all-white schools as the public school system was being integrated. The Southern Poverty Law Center filed a federal lawsuit that resulted in the U.S. Supreme Court finding the city's practice unconstitutional.
The SPLC rectified a 20-year injustice in 1972 when a federal court ordered the paving of 10 miles of streets in an unincorporated black neighborhood near Selma in Dallas County, Ala. The new streets had to be equal in quality to those installed free in adjacent white neighborhoods in 1954.

Despite its flaws, CM08 is easily BGS's best game to date and is a commendable step forward for the series. Fun and accessible, it provides a decent alternative to the complexities of Football Manager. However, a weak tactical spine and the hit and miss match engine negate the need for any serious tactical tinkering, meaning that while its personality may be split, its mainstream characteristics still dominate its make-up.
Since BGS took over the Champ Man series they have improved their game from a sure-fire relegation favourite, to a middle of the table side which is knocking on the door of European football. If these improvements continue, next year's game will be sure to bring home some silverware.
Too fiddly for a casual player and not rigorous enough for those used to Football Manager's depth. [Christmas 2007, p.86]

Padres pushed to brink of elimination in shutout loss to Cubs
Adrian Gonzalez wasn't looking into a mirror.
But he saw his reflection in the Padres plight. Not just his, but that of the entire offense.
"We've got to hit," said the All-Star first baseman. "We have to go to San Francisco and hit. It's on us. The pitching has been great. Pitching is not the problem.
"It's on us. If we don't hit . . ."
If the Padres don't hit, they aren't going to win in San Francisco. And if they don't win in San Francisco this weekend, the season ends Sunday. No playoffs. No fairytale ending for the second-smallest payroll in baseball.
Just the harsh reality of an opportunity wasted.
For the Padres to win the National League West, they not only have to sweep three games from the Giants in San Francisco -- they would have to return to Petco Park Monday and win a playoff game.
Aug. 25: 76-49 . . . 6 1/2 games up in the National League West with 37 to go.
Oct. 1: 88-71 . . . three games down in the National League West with three to go.
As for the wild-card?
With Thursday afternoon's 1-0 loss to the Chicago Cubs before 28,576 at Petco Park, the Padres fell two games behind Atlanta with three to play.
And while the Padres are going head-to-head against the Giants, the Braves will be hosting a Phillies team that has already clinched the best record in the National League and will be starting two minor league pitchers in Georgia.
The Padres -- who are 12-22 over their last 34 games -- have no one to blame but themselves. And no one can save them but for themselves. And to do that they must hit.
A couple fast facts:
--The Giants pitching staff has allowed three or fewer runs in 22 of their last 23 games. During a major league-record run of allowing three or fewer runs in 18 straight games, the Giants supplanted the Padres as having the lowest staff earned run average in the major leagues.
--As for the Padres, they scored five runs on 17 hits in four games against the Cubs. Twice they were shut out -- making it five shutouts in their last 31 games.
For the Padres to advance, both they and the Giants would suddenly have to reverse course while the Braves were also falling on their faces.
"We have no choice," continued Gonzalez. "We have to turn it around. We haven't been very good. More than struggled to get runners home, we've struggled to get runners on base.
"We have to be very good . . . now."
Part of the Padres recent problems can be traced to the heart of the order -- Gonzalez and Ryan Ludwick.
Although the runners immediately in front of Gonzalez and Ludwick have reached 26 times in the last nine games, Gonzalez (3-for-30) and Ludwick (3-for-31) are a combined 6-for-61 over the span with one RBI -- which came on Gonzalez's solo homer Sunday.

This past weekend was Parent's Weekend and I was lucky enough to have my parents fly out from California to visit me. There are many activities that CU Boulder puts on for parent's weekend that are a lot of fun. There are special tailgates and pre-football game fun to attend. My parents came in on Friday morning and I met them for dinner after my classes at Hapa sushi on the Pearl Street Mall. We then walked around Pearl Street Mall and looked into the shops. They just recently put in a new candy store on the Pearl Street Mall so we went in and looked for a good 30 minutes.
The next day was the football game. My parents met up with me at my sorority house and we had a barbecue that was put on by our chef, Tony. The food was amazing and it was a lot of fun to meet all of my friend's parents. Although the football game wasn't that great to watch as we got beat by UCLA, the activities prior to the game and after the game were a lot of fun. After the game we went to Pizzeria Locale and ate really good pizza and then got chocolate covered apples at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. I had so much fun spending time with my family last weekend and I can't wait until they come and visit again soon.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Treasury Department inspector general says the Internal Revenue Service screened only a few progressive groups seeking tax-exempt status for possible political activity, as a clash escalated between that investigator and congressional Democrats who called his probe of the agency misleading.
In a letter to lawmakers released Thursday, J. Russell George said his investigation found "progressives" was not among the inappropriate terms IRS screeners used to decide if groups merited close scrutiny for political work. Too much political activity can disqualify an applicant for a tax-exempt designation.
Nonetheless, George wrote that "additional research" by his investigators found that of 298 applicants for tax-exempt status that the IRS flagged for possible political involvement between 2010 and 2012, six had "progress" or "progressive" in their names. Another 14 cases with "progress" or "progressive" in the group's name were not sidetracked for additional examination, he wrote.
Thirty percent of such groups got special attention because of possible political work, George wrote.
"In comparison, our audit found that 100 percent of the tax-exempt applications with Tea Party, Patriots or 9/12 in their names were processed" for potential political activity, he said.
That did not satisfy Rep. Sander Levin of Michigan, top Democrat on the House Ways and Means Committee.
The term "progressives" did appear on some lists, released earlier this week by Levin, that also included "Tea Party" and that IRS workers used to watch for groups that might merit tough screening. But George's letter noted that "Progressives" appeared on a different part of that list, and said that such groups were sent to different screeners than the ones who processed tea party applications.
Levin criticized George for not revealing the involvement of progressive groups or the second set of screeners until now. He said George's report should have explored those avenues.
"The failure of the IG's audit to acknowledge these facts is a fundamental flaw in the foundation of the investigation and the public's perception of this issue," said Levin, using the abbreviation for inspector general.
Democrats have complained that George's investigation was one-sided. George's report, released in May, detailed IRS mistreatment of conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status and was released days after the IRS acknowledged and apologized for those activities.
Levin and other Democrats have argued the public has been presented with an unbalanced view of the IRS' activities, with a narrative about mistreatment of conservatives that some Republicans have used, without foundation, to suggest direction from the Obama administration.
At a Ways and Means committee hearing on Thursday, Levin said he wanted that panel to have George answer questions at a future session.

What's New for the 2005 Hyundai Elantra?Prior to 2005, the Elantra hatchback was available only in GT trim. This year, the 2005 Hyundai Elantra GLS hatchback debuts, offering buyers ultimate utility in a package that costs more than $1,000 less than the GT. Better still, it has the GT's firmer suspension, sport-tuned steering, and four-wheel disc brakes. Otherwise, the Elantra is unchanged, save the return of the Champagne paint color.
Advantages of the 2005 Hyundai Elantra:
Objections to the 2005 Hyundai Elantra:
Editor's Advice:A wonderful daily driver thanks to its supportive front seats and cushy ride quality, the 2005 Hyundai Elantra is a durable choice for anyone looking for a well-equipped commuter car covered by a substantial warranty. Our favorite is the Hyundai Elantra GT hatchback, not only for its utility but also for its feature content. With a sticker price just north of $15,000, the Elantra GT includes goodies like alloy wheels, a CD player, perforated leather seats and a slightly tighter suspension, not to mention cool purple instrument lighting. Optional on all Elantras are a power sunroof and a package that includes ABS with traction control. Take a look at the 2005 Hyundai Elantra when shopping for a small sedan or hatchback.

|Connective tissues, the most abundant tissue type of the mature mammalian body, consist of cells suspended in complex microenvironments known as extracellular matrices (ECMs). In the immature connective tissues (mesenchymes) encountered in developmental biology and tissue engineering applications, the ECMs contain varying amounts of randomly arranged fibers, and the physical state of the ECM changes as the fibers secreted by the cells undergo fibril and fiber assembly and organize into networks. In vitro composites consisting of assembling solutions of type I collagen, containing suspended polystyrene latex beads (~6 µm in diameter) with collagen-binding surface properties, provide a simplified model for certain physical aspects of developing mesenchymes. In particular, assembly-dependent topological (i.e., connectivity) transitions within the ECM could change a tissue from one in which cell-sized particles (e.g., latex beads or cells) are mechanically unlinked to one in which the particles are part of a mechanical continuum. Any particle-induced alterations in fiber organization would imply that cells could similarly establish physically distinct microdomains within tissues. Here we show that the presence of beads above a critical number density accelerates the sol-gel transition that takes place during the assembly of collagen into a globally interconnected network of fibers. The presence of this suprathreshold number of beads also dramatically changes the viscoelastic properties of the collagen matrix, but only when the initial concentration of soluble collagen is itself above a critical value. Our studies provide a starting point for the analysis of phase transformations of more complex biomaterials including developing and healing tissues as well as tissue substitutes containing living cells.

Tax bloggers cum tax law professors Linda Beale and James Maule regularly express outrage when conservatives allegedly mislead the public on tax issues to further its low tax, small government agenda, but are conspicuously silent when the left is proven to have lied about tax issues to further its pro-tax, big government agenda.
About a year ago Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, a self-described socialist, published a list of ten U.S. Corporations that pay no income taxes. Predictably, the list went viral on the Internet because when you toss a big chunk of juicy anti-capitalist red meat into a den of anti-capitalists you are bound to cause a lot of frenzied salivating.
But were Mr. Sanders claims accurate?
Um, not even close.
Did Ms. Beale and Mr. Maule write about Mr. Sanders fib?
Um, not even close.
The first company on Mr. Sanders list is Exxon Mobil. Sanders said this about the oil conglomerate and employer of 30,000 American workers in a speech on the Senate floor:
Last year, Exxon Mobil made $19 billion in profit. Guess what. They paid zero in taxes. They got a $156 million refund from the IRS.
PolitiFact.Com rated this statement completely false on it's lie-o-meter and said this:
[S]anders' articulation of the facts in his floor speech was misleading, because he omitted several important caveats, including a failure to note that the $156 million number only refers to one specific type of tax — U.S. income taxes. To his credit, Sanders did make that distinction in a June 9, 2010, speech, saying that Exxon Mobil "reported to the SEC that not only did it avoid paying any federal income taxes, it actually received a $156 million refund from the IRS."
Still, while focusing on the negative-$156 million figure and saying that the company "paid zero in taxes" in 2009 was eye-catching, it is, at best, misleading. And it ignores the fact that the company paid hundreds of millions in state income taxes, sales taxes and other types of taxes. We can't verify the company's claim that its net tax was $500 million in 2009, but it's incorrect for Sanders to say "paid zero in taxes."
We rate his claim False.
That I have had the temerity to bring this up will be seen as evidence to many on the radical left that – drum roll, please – I HATE POOR PEOPLE!

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger believes his record of giving young players their chance will always be an advantage when competing for the world's top kids.
"It's a harder trick to pull off buying younger players," he said Wenger. "But I am not too much worried about the competition because [the players] will always go where they think they get the chance.
"Not many clubs have the patience to give them a go. They will make them wait until they think they are good enough.
"Here, a player knows if he is good he will play and because we start them early here, they mature earlier.
"Players are integrated into our training sessions early so they know exactly what they have to do."

Holtby makes 35 saves and Caps blank Jets 3-0
Saturday - 3/2/2013, 8:22pm EST
WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) -- Washington Capitals goaltender Braden Holtby was happy to share the credit for his third shutout of the season.
Holtby stopped 35 shots and Mike Ribeiro had a goal and an assist and the Capitals blanked the Winnipeg Jets 3-0 Saturday.
"Goalies usually get too much credit for the good and too much blame for the bad, that's how it goes," Holtby said.
"You could see in a game like this, it's not a shutout for myself, that's a shutout for the team."
Matt Hendricks and Todd Brouwer, with his team-leading ninth goal of the season, also scored as the Capitals improved their record to 8-11-1.
Winnipeg goalie Ondrej Pavelec made 18 saves for the Jets, who had a three-game winning streak ended.
The last time the Jets went scoreless at home was Jan. 12, 2012, in a 2-0 loss to San Jose. The last time they were shut out was in a 3-0 loss in Montreal on Feb. 5, 2012.
Evander Kane says the Jets need to move on to the next game.
"We're going to have to put this one behind us," Kane said. "We've got (four) on the road here so we've got to be ready to go and be the road warriors again like we were last time."
The Jets (10-10-1) won four of five road games before coming home to beat New Jersey 3-1 on Thursday before being shut out for the first time this season by the Capitals.
Just 41 seconds into the game, the Jets had to kill a penalty when forward Bryan Little was called for holding.
The Capitals only got one shot on net with the man advantage, and it was their only shot during the first 10 minutes of the period.
Winnipeg ended up outshooting Washington 15-5 in the scoreless first.
Ribeiro said those stats are deceiving because several of them weren't quality chances.
"I could have probably stopped those ones from the side," Ribeiro said. "(They) weren't dangerous shots like they had at the start and we knew that.
"We just played simple. Our (defensemen) chipped the puck out most of the time and let the forwards race for it a lot of times. That's what we need on the road, just a simple game."
Washington scored first during a possession that looked as if it was going to cost Winnipeg more than a goal.
Winnipeg forward Blake Wheeler slid to block a point shot by Capitals defenseman John Erskine and then buckled to the ice in pain.
The play continued and Hendricks redirected a shot by Ribeiro that went over Pavelec's shoulder and into the net at 10:56 for Hendricks' fourth goal of the season.
Wheeler was still lying on the ice during the goal. He was helped off by teammates as he kept his weight off his right foot.
Despite looking like a bad injury, Wheeler was back on the ice a few shifts later and finished the game.
Jets coach Claude Noel said Wheeler "has probably a heavy-duty bone contusion" on the side of his leg.
Jets forward Anthony Peluso left the game in the first period after getting into a fight with Capitals forward Aaron Volpatti, who was playing his first game after being picked up on waivers.
Peluso, who got in the most punches on the helmetless Volpatti, is "week to week" with a hand injury, Noel said.
The Capitals turned the tables in shots on goal in the second period, outshooting Winnipeg 13-4. They kept the pressure going in the third and it paid off with goals 52 seconds apart.
Brouwer scored when his wrist shot went over Pavelec's glove at 3:24.
Ribeiro then flipped the rebound of an Alex Ovechkin shot over Pavelec's stick at 4:16 for the 3-0 lead.
Noel said he thought his team played hard and it would have helped if they'd scored on the power play.
Winnipeg is 1 for 32 on the power play in its past 12 games.
"The numbers aren't great and they haven't been great," Noel said.
"We've been winning in spite of it, and we knew that this could happen so we just know that it's got to come around."
Note: The Jets head out for a four-game road trip next week, with a pair against Florida, one against Tampa and the last against New Jersey on their way home.

Takei, 'Allegiance' aim to reward fans
Old Globe-bred musical featuring 'Trek' star offers unusual 'priority' program
The musical "Allegiance" has proved to be a ground-breaker of a show on several levels -- setting the Old Globe Theatre's box-office record in its 2012 world-premiere run, and becoming the first major stage piece to document the World War II-era internment of Japanese-Americans.
(Not to mention giving most playgoers their first-ever opportunity to hear the "Star Trek" icon George Takei sing.)
"Allegiance," whose Broadway aims have been in a holding pattern since the day it closed at the Globe, now is blazing a fresh path in another way. Lorenzo Thione, the show's lead producer (as well as one of its writers), has announced the launch of a fan-rewards program called the Allegiance Priority Access Pass.
The idea (we won't call this one a loyalty program, as the idea of "loyalty" becomes an incendiary subject in the show) entails giving fans the first shot at buying tickets to the (eventual) Broadway production in exchange for a membership fee of $5.
Takei, who was the prime inspiration behind "Allegiance" (he was sent to a series of internment camps with his own family as a child) and plays two roles in it, has proved a huge draw in marketing the show. The beloved actor and gay-rights activist, who played Mr. Sulu in "Star Trek," has helped lend "Allegiance" a major online following.
The idea behind the Access Pass is both to reward the show's devotees and to leverage that "Allegiance" fandom into additional funding, as well as help convince investors and theater owners that it will do strong Broadway business.
Takei said in a statement that "when we played the Old Globe, we quickly sold out. Many fans didn't even get a chance to see the show, or were priced out by rapidly rising demand. Just like owning a special AmEx (card), with a Priority Access Pass, fans will receive a reservation number that gives them early and exclusive access to the box office. I'm so pleased that the producers are giving our fans a first crack at tickets."
From the release, here's the full rundown on how the program will work. For more info, go to facebook.com/allegiancemusical.
"For just $5, Priority Access Pass holders are granted a reservation number entitling them to purchase up to two tickets to the performance of their choice before they go on sale to anyone else. In the weeks prior to the box-office opening, and in order of their reservation number, Priority Access Pass holders will receive a code allowing online purchase of any available ticket long before the general public. The sooner fans purchase their Priority Access Passes, the earlier they will be able to buy tickets, and the better the ticket selection available to them.
"Allegiance Priority Access Passes will be honored not only for the Broadway production, but also for any other future commercial productions* of 'Allegiance,' including out-of-town engagements, national tours and international productions. This way, fans around the globe who may not strictly be waiting for the Broadway debut also have a great reason to secure their Priority Access Passes today.

The Search for New
Variables with a Blink Telescope
pdf ps
Barbara A. Capron
Maria Mitchell Observatory,
Nantucket, Massachusetts
This paper will describe
the method of variable star discovery and verification employed at the Maria
Mitchell Observatory, using the rodman Blink microscope, which was designed and
built by Dr. James P. Rodman, and installed in the Observatory in the summer of
1970. Photographic plates are first examined on the blink microscope. Any
suspected vriables are then located and confirmed as new variables or
identified as old variables rediscovered. In what follows, reference will be
made to applications of the method in examining plates of a region in
Sagittarius and to results of the author's search in that region.
