One Handed Backhand vs Two Handed Backhand

Okay, I'm a one-handed player, and I went out to the park and hit some two-handers for myself, and this is how I felt.
It was a different experience to say the least. It wasn't hard to hit by any means, but it was difficult to hit it hard on a regular basis. Maybe my body rotation was just poor because I'm not used to turning my body so much off that wing, but when I did get a good crack at it, it was a solid ball. Low balls were a real struggle, I had no choice but to slice those right back. Balls that came in about waist height were just lovely, I could crank those all over the court. Balls up near my shoulder weren't too bad, I really didn't have to swing up to clear the net and hitting flat balls off that side from that high was pretty easy. Wide balls were also hard to hit, I had to slice those back. Generating lots of topspin was a lot more difficult than with my one-hander. I actually found it easier to disguise my slice because my right hand was in the continental grip, I could set up like I was gonna hit a flat ball and then just move my left hand up and slice the ball. Once I got used to it, it was rather easy to hit consistent rally balls, and was a very repeatable motion.
My final review of the 2HBH after using it for one day would be:
Difficulty to learn: 2HBH
Power: 1HBH
Topspin: 1HBH
Slice: 1HBH
Flat: 2HBH
Low Balls: 1HBH
Medium Balls: 2HBH
High Balls: 2HBH
Reach: 1HBH
Consistency: 2HBH
Again, you won't learn anything new from reading my review. 2HBH is a stable, consistent rally shot that's easy to learn and easy to repeat, and will be your best option if you want to be an Agassi-type player, hit hard, flat, and consistent, and grind your opponent down from the baseline. 1HBH will be better if you like a shot that can give you lots of spin, lots of easy power and reach, and is a good shot for people who like mixing up their games.

1997 Mercedes-Benz E420 Q&A
1997 Mercedes-Benz E420 Question: Idling speed uneven especially on summer days - occasionally the engine cuts off
When I come to a stop at a light or sign, the engine idling becomes uneven (200rpm to 700rpm). Car shakes. On a few occasions the engine has died. Also, on some days it takes a long time for the ignition to start the engine. Sometimes when coming to a stop, the ASR light comes on. When I start accelerating during a rolling stop, there is lack of power for a few seconds. Solved the problem of long starts by letting the air come on before turning the ignition. Don't know why it works. - luvmyE420

Senate moves toward CIA nominee vote
WASHINGTON The Senate cleared the way Thursday for likely confirmation of John Brennan to head the CIA after the Obama administration bowed to demands from Republicans and specified limits on the president's authority to order drone strikes against American citizens on U.S. soil.
A test vote on the nomination followed quickly after Attorney General Eric Holder sent a letter to Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, who staged a filibuster across 13 hours. A final vote was likely later in the day.
Brennan's credentials to head the CIA were scarcely mentioned in a final 24 hour-stretch of political and constitutional drama surrounding his nomination.
Instead, Paul's filibuster attracted widespread attention on Twitter and other social media, led the party to seek campaign contributions for the 2014 elections and prompted a parade of other tea party-backed senators to declare their support. Other Republicans were critical of the Kentucky Republican, harshly so.
The letter from Holder was brief:
"It has come to my attention that you have now asked an additional question: `Does the president have the authority to use a weaponized drone to kill an American not engaged in combat on American soil?'" Holder wrote Paul.
"The answer to that question is no."
Brennan has long appeared to hold enough votes to win confirmation.
But the letter marked the administration's third concession in recent days in its attempt to bring the matter to a vote.
Earlier this week, responding to demands from lawmakers in both parties, the White House gave members of the Senate intelligence committee access to legal opinions justifying the use of lethal drone strikes against terror suspects. It also gave Republicans documents relating to last year's deadly attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
Paul's filibuster roiled the Republican party at the same time it got the attention of the White House.
Just hours after Sen. Rand Paul ended his nearly 13-hour talkathon - and got an endorsement from Minority Leader and fellow Kentuckian Mitch McConnell - two senior Republicans on the Armed Services Committee dismissed Paul's claims as unfounded and ridiculous and expressed support for Obama's controversial drone program as the nation wages war against terrorism.
Both Sens. John McCain of Arizona and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina also challenged members of their own party.
"To my Republican colleagues, I don't remember any of you coming down here suggesting that President Bush was going to kill anybody with a drone," Graham said in remarks on the Senate floor.
McCain scoffed at Paul's contention that the U.S. would have targeted actress Jane Fonda during her trip to Hanoi during the Vietnam War.
"I must say that the use of Jane Fonda's name does evoke certain memories with me, and I must say that she is not my favorite American, but I also believe that, as odious as it was, Ms. Fonda acted within her constitutional rights," said McCain, a prisoner of war in Vietnam for 5 1/2 years. "And to somehow say that someone who disagrees with American policy and even may demonstrate against it is somehow a member of an organization which makes that individual an enemy combatant is simply false. It is simply false."

Floirendo top Golden Wheel Award prospect
THE BEST and brightest in Philippine motorsports last year will be recognized in a glittering presentation highlighting the 10th Golden Wheel Awards Night on March 16 at Cultural Center of the Philippines.
While performances and guests are expected to add glitz and glamour to the event, the awarding of the Golden Wheel Driver of the Year and International Driver of the Year will be the major highlight of the affair themed "An Honor To Live, A Legacy To Pass On."
All the standouts in different motorsport disciplines are part of the short list for the coveted award.
They are Vencer John Suba (karting), Alex Perez (drifting), Peewee Mendiola (slalom), Vincent Floirendo (grand touring), Red Diwa (4×4 offroad), Jonathan Tiu (drag racing), Rodney Caballero (classic cars), Glenn Aguilar (motocross), Raniel Resuello (superbikes), Anthony Roman (underbone racing) and Miko Montano (scooters).
Touring Car champ Floirendo of Davao, who won the Golden Wheel National Driver of the Year last year, is fancied to duplicate his feat.
Floirendo could match the feats of karting queen Michelle Bumgarner, who pulled off the trick in 2003 and 2004, and drag racing champion Jonathan Tiu in 2008 and 2009.
The Golden Wheel has so far only handed out four International Driver of the Year honors—Glenn Aguilar in 2005 for Asian motocross, Tyson Sy in 2006 for Asian Formula 3 and Stefano Marcelo (2007) and Juha Turalba (2008) both for Asian karting.
"As we celebrate the decade of the Golden Wheel Awards Night, it is relevant that we give emphasis to the feats and milestones of our past Motorsports heroes to give the new generation of talented drivers something to emulate," said Golden Wheels Foundation chair Johnny Tan. Cedelf P. Tupas

Kochi witnessing heavy flow of traffic
Kochi: Ever since the aviation sector was opened up for the private sector, there has been a beehive of activity in the skies. A host of new operators connecting newer destinations have provided an exciting phase to air travel. The latest in this development is the operation of helicopters to major tourism spots.
Kochi has witnessed a heavy flow of traffic at the Nedumbasserry airport. The Gulf-bound passengers had always flocked to airports in Kerala. The boom in tourism has led to an increase in the traffic to the Gulf countries and beyond.
The limited open sky policy adopted by the Government for specific periods had been well received by international operators. This time, the policy is expected to come into force from December 15 when additional flights would bring in more passengers. Gulf Air, for instance, decided to increase its frequency to Kochi during the period, according to Rajeev Nambiar, General Manager, India.
The boom in the sector was phenomenal so much so that at times the landing facility becomes inadequate and several flights were forced to be in the air for prolonged periods. This results in waste of precious fuel and the airlines were reportedly planning to hike the fare to compensate the extra expenditure.
In fact, fare increase was a tricky issue for the airlines. "It is a customer market today," said Mr. Nambiar.
With low cost airlines wooing passengers, it was anybody's guess that a higher fare would be detrimental to the interests of the operator. Some of the low cost carriers even offer a lower fare in comparison to the first class AC fares on trains.
The boom had its impact on the human resources too. The industry on an expanding mode needs more personnel to manage the action. More pilots and air-hostesses were required. Kochi has a few training institutes for imparting training to air-hostess aspirants. Some among them, like the Frankfinn Institute of Air-Hostess Training, offered part-time courses in aviation, hospitality and travel management. The institute offered job assistance too, according to a top executive of the institute. Apart from Kochi, it had centres in Thiruvananthapuram and Kozhikode. More centres would be opened in other parts of the State, according to the institute.

The Prostitution of Self-Determination by Hitler in Austria
Date: January 1955
Creator: Bates, Stephen S.
Description: The right of national independence, which came to be called the principle of self-determination, is, in general terms, the belief that each nation has a right to constitute an independent state and determine its own government. It will be the thesis of this paper to show that the Nazi regime under the rule of Adolph Hitler took this principle as its own insofar as its relations with other nations were concerned, but while they paid lip service to the principle, it was in fact being prostituted to the fullest degree in the case of Austria and the Anschluss of 1938.

Description: This study as a whole does not pretend to be in any way an introduction of information new or novel, but is intended only as a distillation of facts well known, but largely un-assembled in the specific fashion here attempted. Relative to the Republican campaign against the Alien and Sedition legislation, however, it would appear that perhaps there has been a certain amount of misunderstanding. It is hoped that the treatment herein accorded this matter may in some way contribute to an improved insight.

Jefferson Davis and the Confederate Governors
Date: June 1959
Creator: Daniel, Arthur Gordon
Description: One facet of the problem of state rights within the Confederacy is revealed through a study of the relations between President Davis and the war governors. As a means of investigating those relationships this study considers their attempts to solve several major problems. This work seeks to discover the degree of co-operation which existed between the President and governors and to establish what effect this co-operation or lack of it had on the failure of the states to support many important central government policies. It also seeks to determine what influence those relationships had on the outcome of the war.

Date: August 1954
Creator: Gallaway, B. P.
Description: Looming large in the manifold problems of the Davis government after the clash of arms at Sumter was the creation of an army to defend the South. Involved in this problem was the extremely important task of expanding forces. No dearth of excellent officer material existed for some of the most able West Point graduates in the Union army had resigned and were eager to serve their section. The major problem was the question of relative rank to be assigned in the new chain of command.

"This very interesting volume presents fourteen different software packages devoted to find (aesthetically nice) drawings of large respectively huge graphs. … All these packages are described by their developers who are all leading experts in the field of graph drawing. … The volume … can insistently be recommended to researchers in operations research (especially graph theory) and all practitioners who deal with large data sets and need to find relations between the data." (Stephan Dempe, OR News, Issue 25, 2005)
"The spacious layout of the text, interleaved with so many colourful figures, makes the book a pleasure to read. … While it is clearly of interest to members of the graph drawing community, this book is in fact geared to potential users of the software tools in other areas … . it definitely deserves a place on a library's bookshelves as well as on the bookshelves of those who wish to enhance their teaching and research presentations with compelling depictions of graphs."

Cheapest Price Review For Sony NEX-5N 16.1 MP Compact DSLR Camera
Photo Creativity Touch
The Photo Creativity interface enables you to easily enjoy the creative expression through direct photographic control in an easy to use interface. Changes can be combined/removed and viewed in real time on the LCD making it a breeze to make adjustments.
Tiltable 3.0" Touch LCD
Sony's 3.0" Xtra Fine LCD monitor has 921K dots for superb resolution. The TruBlack screen includes a special resin layer to suppress internal reflections, increasing contrast compared to conventional LCDs. Sunny Weather mode boosts visibility even further in bright sunlight. Tilts down 45° and up 80° to frame high- and low-angle shots that would otherwise be hit-or-miss.
Object Tracking AF via Touch LCD
Object Tracking AF can lock onto a specified object and maintain focus even as the subject moves. This hassle-free mode allows unpredictable subjects to stay in focus even while zooming. Letting you concentrate on the scene and composition without having to worry about focus. The subject on which to lock focus is easily selected via the touch screen or the center button of the control wheel.
World's shortest release time lag (0.02 sec)
In photography, shutter lag, or release time, is the delay between triggering the shutter by fully depressing the shutter button and when the photograph is actually recorded. By initiating the exposure electronically instead of with the traditional shutter mechanism, release time on the NEX-5N is reduced to just 20 milliseconds - helping you to capture the decisive moment.
Optional XGA OLED viewfinder
The optional FDA-EV1S OLED Tru-Finder offers a large, bright and wide-view of the scene. With high resolution 2.395K dot, and unprecedented speed, contrast and color accuracy, the FDA-EV1S provides an extraordinary view.

Joe Rosson: Possibly vintage china set from World War II moderately priced
Q: Enclosed you will find photographs of a particular china pattern that my great aunt had purchased around 1940-1945. She was a lifetime employee of Miller's Department Store and purchased the items from them. The pattern is called "Bali Hai" and is by Kent. I have a table setting for 16 including serving platter, serving bowl, cream and sugar, dessert bowls, soup bowls, salad plates and dinner plates. What I assume is a gravy boat is actually attached to a saucer underneath. Any information would be appreciated.
A: I found three companies with the name "Kent" somewhere in the title. There is "James Kent," an English company; then there is "Royal Kent," another English company; and finally there is just "Kent," which is a Japanese manufacturer. It is this latter concern that made this dinnerware.
I am sorry, but I could find no historical information about this firm, but it is curious that your mother bought these pieces between 1940 and 1945 because these pieces would not have been available between at least December, 1941 and September 1945 because of the Second World War.
After December 7, 1941, all imports for this Asian company would have been stopped, and after the peace treaty was signed in Tokyo harbor, it would have taken many months for the company to recover and start exporting again. And even when they did start production and export again, American resistance to their product was probably very keen until at least the 1950's.
Now it is quite possible that Miller's had a backstock of this pattern, but it is unlikely that many people would have wanted it after the war started. Feelings ran very high indeed, so I place the probable purchase of this set in 1940 or early 1941 if K. R.'s memory is correct.
I keep thinking about the title of the pattern "Bali Hai" and remembering the 1949 Roger's and Hammerstein musical "South Pacific," which included the haunting tune by the same name. Could these pieces be of early 1950's vintage and not early 1940's? The style looks more 50's than 40's, but whichever it is, the value is not affected.
The gravy boat with its attached underliner is called a "fast stand" gravy boat and is worth around $45 at retail. The most valuable piece of "Bali Hai" is probably the covered round vegetable, which retails at about $100, but B. K. has the open oval vegetable, which is worth approximately $34.
Let me hasten to add that all the prices I will be quoting are retail, and if K. R.'s mission is to sell these items, he will be able to realize only about one third of these values or even a little less.
As attractive as these pieces are with their representations of bamboo on a cream edge, they are fairly modestly priced. A cup and saucer is only $15; a dinner plate, $20; a salad plate, $8; the individual fruit/dessert bowls, $8; and the cream pitcher and sugar bowl set is about $28. Oh, and the soup bowls are $15 each.
There were four sizes of oval platters - a 13 inch, a 15 ¼ inch, a 17-inch, and a 17 ¾ inch. The smallest size is valued at $28, the largest is $50. But the most valuable is the 17 inch variety that retails for $56.

Damage Tolerant Controls Allow Safe Landings
New damage-tolerant aircraft controls will allow the safer landings of damaged aircraft. Military aircraft today face many threats, including surface-to-air missiles and weapons fired from hostile aircraft. To improve the survivability of damaged aircraft, the Damage Tolerant Controls program - administered by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency - is developing software to compensate for damaged aircraft control surfaces and engines, allowing pilots to land their aircraft safely. The technology also applies to material failures that can impact flight performance in an unpredictable manner. DARPA officials say it can also benefit commercial and other aircraft.

New Genomic Database Impacts Health Research
A new digital database will help scientists understand how differences in DNA contribute to human health and disease. The National Institutes of Health has launched the Database of Genomic Structural Variation. The database will help track large-scale variations in DNA discovered in healthy individuals as well as those affected with disorders such as autism and cancer. In recent years, scientists have discovered that very large stretches of the human genome can be different in seemingly normal individuals. It had long been known that large-scale genomic changes existed, but it was thought that they were rare and usually led to disorders such as Down syndrome. It is now understood that such variations are relatively common. Understanding how they relate to individual characteristics and impact health is an important and active area of research.

Reusable Materials Help Post Office Meet Green Goals
The U.S. Postal Service is now the only mailing and shipping company worldwide that provides packaging supplies that are "Cradle to Cradle Certified." This means that all 175 materials used by its 58 suppliers to make stamps and stamped products have been assessed, and meet requirements for, their impact on human and environmental health, recyclability and compostability.
The Postal Service says in 2009 it provided one billion eco-friendly mailing and shipping supplies to customers.
Technology used to create biodegradable or recyclable materials have allowed the agency's sustainability initiatives to cut greenhouse gas production and to save money and resources. Specific achievements include a 10.8 trillion dollar reduction in British Thermal Units in energy use at their facilities since 2005, and $400 million dollars worth of savings in energy costs since 2007.

New Biosensors Allow Advanced Testing
Scientists have long imagined what could be done if they could engineer a cilia-like biosensor.
Now, scientists at the University of Southern Mississippi have for the first time, imitated Mother Nature by developing a skinny-molecule-based material that resembles the tiny, hair-like structures organisms use to smell, hear, and see. They've developed a new thin copolymer film with whisker-like formations that mimic the natural material.
It responds to thermal, chemical, and electromagnetic stimulation, and allows researchers to control it which, they say, opens unlimited possibilities, including testing for the presence of toxins, oxygen or the lack of oxygen in an environment. Future uses could include testing glucose levels, drug testing, or for air or water safety.

New Satellite System Will Replace Radar
Move over radar... it won't be long before that decades-old technology is replaced by satellites to track all aircraft in U.S. airspace.
The Federal Aviation Administration has given the green light for a full-scale, nationwide deployment of a new satellite-based surveillance system called Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast, or ADS-B. The technology has been successfully rolled out at four key testing sites.
The FAA says the system tracks aircraft with greater accuracy, integrity and reliability than radar-based systems. Controller screens update more frequently and show more detailed information, including the type of aircraft, its call sign, heading, altitude and speed.
Every part of the country now covered by radar will eventually have ADS-B coverage. Nationwide coverage is expected to be complete by 2013.

Nomura: PH likely to survive Fed policy reversal
popular .
When the US Federal Reserve starts to rein in its policy of easy money, the Philippines may be among those that will likely emerge unscathed from the ensuing economic backlash, Japanese banking giant Nomura said.
In a June 28 report titled "Asia's Rising Risk Premium," Nomura said the recent selloff of Asian assets was a "healthy correction" because the underlying economic fundamentals in the region have been deteriorating in the last four years.
Nomura said that if investors in search of better yields were to revert to the practice of indiscriminately investing across Asia, regional policymakers might not be able to reset their accommodative monetary policies on time.
Nomura fears that Asian regulators may be "myopically focusing on the business cycle instead of the even bigger domestic private credit and property market booms." The Japanese bank described the scenario as "a recipe for financial crises in the coming years."
In the report, Nomura hoped that investors would go for sustainable growth over fast growth and favor countries that would pursue structural reforms and unwind the loose monetary policies that fueled credit and property market booms.
The Philippines and Taiwan stand out in this low-risk category, followed by Japan, the report said.
The report also said that countries with "weak economic fundamentals or those that are too slow in implementing structural reforms could struggle to attract investment."
China, Hong Kong, India and Indonesia are currently in this category, Nomura said.
On global rebalancing, the report said Asia's narrowing current account surpluses looked encouraging. But the bank is uncomfortable about the region's average ratio of domestic private debt to gross domestic product. In 2012, the ratio stood at 167 percent, significantly higher than that of 1996 when the property markets of most countries were considered "frothy." The Asian currency crisis erupted in 1997.
Nomura also expressed its concern over Asia's central banks that have kept policy rates too low for too long in an attempt to minimize risks and avoid attracting strong capital inflows.
This has led to growing financial vulnerabilities across the region, it said.
"We would group China, Hong Kong and India firmly in the high-risk danger zone category. Indonesia is at the lower end of the high risk category. In the medium-risk category, we would bookend Korea, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand at the higher end, and Japan at the lower end. The Philippines and Taiwan seem among the least vulnerable to a macro crisis," the report said.
Nomura also said that Asia had come to rely on macroprudential tools in its attempt to contain credit and property market booms.
"But macroprudential tools are not the Holy Grail. These tools risk lulling central banks into a false sense of believing that policy has been sufficiently tightened only to find out that, over time, as loopholes are found, these tools have turned out to be a poor substitute for higher interest rates," it said.
But in the case of the Philippines, the report said, remittances will continue to boost the current account surplus, supported by the fast-growing business process outsourcing (BPO) and tourism sectors. Overall, Nomura expects the current account surplus to remain solid over the next few years.
"From a savings/investment perspective, a strong investment cycle is underway, led by private sector spending. This rise in investment ratios has been accompanied by higher domestic savings, boosted by a growing middle class, as well as lower fiscal deficits as a result of reforms to improve governance," the report said.—Doris C.

Three seemingly disparate local arts entities - Present Music, the Milwaukee Ballet and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Department of Dance - joined their significant creative forces this weekend in an absolutely riveting production titled "FALL(ing)."
Featuring original works by four choreographers set to "new music" and performed in UWM's Bader Concert Hall, the program used subtle, meaningful differences in style and expression of movement to create a completely engrossing program.
Timothy O'Donnell (Milwaukee Ballet) created "Bird-Prince-Bird," set to "Winter" from "Seasons" by Elena Kats-Chernin. He used a seamless, fluid blend of classical and modern dance vocabularies in a powerfully condensed retelling of the "Swan Lake" story.
Milwaukee Ballet dancers Annia Hidalgo, Mayara Pineiro and Mengjun Chen brought the three characters to life in elegant, poignant performances.
Petr Zahradnícek's (Milwaukee Ballet) "Fall to Rise" made deft use of contrasts between falling and rising as well as motion and stillness to create a buoyant piece for dancers, set to "Honest Music" and "Quiet Music" from Nico Muhly's "Three Études."
Dancers Brooke Bloedorn, Emma Call, Rosemary Laughrin, Gina Laurenzi, Deanna Lewis, Danielle Lohuis, Carrie Martin, Kristin Reidelberger, Nicole Ross, Madeleine Schoch and Bonnie Watson gave poised, polished, focused performances that made it difficult to remember that they are all UWM students and not professionals.
Two works by UWM's Simone Ferro bracketed the intermission. Her "Dis/Equilibrium," set to Christopher Cerone's "The Night Mare" and Jennifer Higdon's "Zaka," built around the split-second realization one is falling, and created with its Milwaukee Ballet performers Justin Genna, Mengjun Chen, Susan Gartell, Valerie Harmon, Erik Johnson and Rachel Malehorn a gem of communicative elegance.
Ferro's "Magnetic Field," set to bits of Kevin Volans' "String Quartet No. 6," was a fluid expression of the attraction between two people. Courtney Kramer and Marc Petrocci (Milwaukee Ballet) created a compelling, powerful onstage chemistry.
Dani Kuepper's (UWM/Danceworks) "Slowly and Always," set to "Summer," "Fall" and "Spring" from Kats-Chernin's "Seasons," was constructed of a creative, energy-infused modern dance vocabulary.
Precision, discipline and character from Milwaukee Ballet dancers Courtney Kramer, Janel Meindersee, Raven Nielsen, Mayara Pineiro, Etienne Diaz, Barry Molina and Isaac Sharratt made it the perfect finale.
Kevin Stalheim led the Present Music ensemble members Marie Sander, Bill Helmers, Eric Segnitz, Zhan Shu, Margot Schwartz, Erin Pipal, Adrien Zitoun, Andrew Goodlett, Carl Storniolo and Adam Marks.
Kellie Bronikowski's video images and film brought a vivid added dimension to "Bird-Prince-Bird" and "Dis/Equilibrium." Video effects by Iain Court and Jessica Peck added visual and emotional depth to "Magnetic Field."

"Puebla!" Top 5 Page for this destination Puebla de Zaragoza by shdw100
Puebla de Zaragoza Travel Guide: 76 reviews and 200 photos
Puebla, Mexico, has the most friendly people in all of Mexico. The city itself is the 4th largest in Mexico, but also one of the poorest states in Mexico. Puebla is known for it's colorful tiles that adorn the downtown region. The town also boasts a Volkswagon plant which still makes the old VW bugs! Puebla is one of those hidden jewels of Mexico that for me personally, I hope that too many people don't discover it!
- Pros:Wonderful people and city
- Cons:None that I can think of
- In a nutshell:A hidden jewel of Mexico

International Boxing Association (AIBA) - Senior Legal Management - Lausanne, Switzerland
The International Boxing Association, originally the Association Internationale de Boxe Amateur and still referred to as the AIBA is a sport organization that sanctions amateur (Olympic-style) boxing matches and awards world and subordinate championships.
Marius Vizer's explosive address in Sochi has gripped the Olympic Movement in recent weeks and parallels have been drawn between the speech made by Thomas Keller 42 years earlier at the Olympic Congress in Varna that sparked a similar debate. David Owen looks at whether history is repeating itself and whether it may hold clues to the eventual outcome of the present trial of strength that was escalated so dramatically by the SportAccord President last month.

Aaron Cresswell is confident of forming a successful wing partnership with West Ham United teammate Matt Jarvis.
The left-back arrived earlier this month from Ipswich Town.
"Jarvo is a great player and I find it easy to link up with him. We'll be looking to carry that throughout the pre-season and do good things.
"I'll just take each game as it comes and try to do my best and influence whoever is playing in front of me."
West Ham kick off their Premier League season at home to Tottenham on August 16. Cresswell added: "There are still four games left until the start of the season, so we hope it will come as we get as fit as we can."

According to America's Second Harvest, the nation's largest food bank network--which we are supporting with our Wine.Dine.Donate events next week--its "Kids Cafe programs provide free meals and snacks to low-income children through a variety of existing community locations where children congregate, such as Boys and Girls Clubs, churches or public schools. In addition to providing hot meals to hungry kids, some Kids Cafe programs also offer a safe place, where under the supervision of trustworthy staff, a child can get involved in educational, recreational and social activities that draw on existing community programs and often include family members. Kids Cafe is the most expansive child-feeding program in the nation.There are over 1,600 established Kids Cafes in operation."
I had the great pleasure of seeing this marvelous work in action when I visited Kids Cafe Cielo in New York's South Bronx. It's one of 18 such programs run by the Food Bank of New York City and all under the aegis of the talented and energetic program manager, Tori Kass.
At Kids Cafe Cielo, children come for the enrichment of both the body and the soul. They have a full hot meal when they arrive, followed by nutrition and fitness programs specifically developed by the Food Bank, including yoga and meditation, plus swimming, arts and crafts, and games. "We try and teach the children, and that way they can teach their parents about good nutrition and health. So, they learn about eating healthy now and hopefully it carries over into when they become adults," says Kass. To donate or for information on the Food Bank For New York City's Kids Cafe program, contact Tori Kass at email@example.com. For information on all Kids Cafe programs, go to secondharvest.org.

Phipps Children's Discovery Day May 25
Pittsburgh, Pa. – On May 25, 2013, Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens invites families to join the festivities at Children's Discovery Garden Day, an annual celebration featuring hands-on crafts and activities for kids of all ages. Held from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. in the public garden's multi-sensory outdoor garden — a space created to capture the curiosity of young adventurers — all event programs are designed to encourage exploration and observation while kids unwind and have fun.
At Children's Discovery Garden Day, games, potting stations, crafts and more will cover a variety of nature-inspired topics, uncovering the fascinating world of pollinators, the life cycle of plants from seed to fruit, and the botanical origins of the foods we eat. Event participants will also have the chance to simply enjoy the garden, which has a giant tree stump for climbing; plots designed to attract birds, butterflies and bees; a color wheel garden; a bog garden with carnivorous plants; a sensory garden; and a new Nature Play Area, where kids can let their imaginations run wild as they play.
All Children's Discovery Garden Day activities, including light refreshments and entertainment, are complementary with regular paid admission, which costs $15 for adults, $14 for seniors and students, and $11 for children ages two – 18.

Regular offerings include story time and pot-a-plant activities under the Discovery Pavilion.

Effective January 1, 2012, the Florida minimum wage will be increased to $7.67 per hour and will continue to surpass the federal minimum wage, which is $7.25 per hour. Pursuant to the Minimum Wage Amendment to the Florida Constitution, which took effect in 2005, every September the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity is required to calculate and adjust the minimum wage rate by increasing the current minimum wage by the rate of inflation during the preceding twelve month period. The adjusted minimum wage rate calculated is to take effect the following January 1st.
Consistent with federal law, providing that the higher of the state or federal minimum wage prevail, the Florida minimum wage became the standard in Florida when it surpassed the federal minimum wage in June 2011. It will remain this way unless and until a future adjustment to the federal minimum wage makes it greater than Florida's minimum wage.

Hope, reality collide in post-Katrina New Orleans
NEW ORLEANS Shelia Phillips doesn't see the New Orleans that Mayor Ray Nagin talks about, the one on its way to having just as many people and a more diverse economy than it did before Hurricane Katrina. How could she?
From the front porch of her house in the devastated Lower 9th Ward, it's hard to see past the vegetation slowly swallowing the property across the way. Nearby homes are boarded up or still bear the fading tattoos left by search and rescue teams nearly four years ago. The fence around a playground a few blocks down is padlocked.
"I just want to see people again," she said recently, swatting bugs in the muggy heat.
On paper, the city's economy appears to be thriving, with relatively low unemployment, foreclosure and bankruptcy rates. But in post-Katrina New Orleans, residents' perceptions of their city's recovery tends to depend on where they live, their vantage point of it. Swaths of some neighborhoods are sparsely populated, even desolate, and federal rebuilding dollars have provided much of the economic resilience.
While the recovery has been "stronger than anticipated," the city "will still face challenges to long-term stability and prosperity," according to a report released Tuesday by GCR & Associates Inc., an urban planning and consulting firm.
New Orleans's economy is among the healthiest of major metro areas, according to The Associated Press Economic Stress Index, which assigns counties a score of 1 to 100 based on unemployment, foreclosure and bankruptcy data.
The seven-parish New Orleans region scores 8.6 through June, the most recent month for which figures are available. That's considerably lower than the national average of 10.6 and means the average New Orleans resident has felt far less relative economic pain than people in Los Angeles (15.07), Chicago's Cook County (15.11) or Florida's Miami-Dade County (16.06).
There are other causes for optimism: the overhaul of New Orleans' long-dismal public school system, an influx of college-educated residents, the greening of neighborhoods as they rebuild, and the elevating of more homes to help protect them from future flooding.
After Katrina, the mayor started talking about a new New Orleans. What he meant, he said recently, is a "better New Orleans; an updated New Orleans, one where we basically updated all of our critical assets but respected our history."
"I definitely think we're on track to realizing that," Nagin said.
Some analysts believe the economic resilience powered by tens of billions in federal rebuilding aid is unsustainable. Once the money is spent, they say, the tourism-based economy and lower-wage jobs that dominated before Katrina are likely to re-emerge.
The flow of returning residents has slowed, the cost of living has spiked and blight is rampant. Public investment in neighborhoods has been uneven, much like the pattern of Katrina's devastation.
Water driven by the Aug. 29, 2005, storm flooded 80 percent of the city and essentially destroyed St. Bernard and Plaquemines parishes. Other areas were spared the worst of the damage, and have rebounded more quickly.
Lakeview, which saw some of the worst flooding, has come back stronger than other New Orleans' neighborhoods largely due to its relative pre-storm affluence and residents' will to take charge of Lakeview's recovery.

I to am experiencing a SCH bleed the clot is pretty large I was told at 8 weeks that I was pregnant and unfortunately didnt know I was pregnant. I found out the night I went to the ER from abdominal pain and bleeding. From which I thought was an onset of my menstral cycle. I am now 11 weeks but feel like I am more than that. I don't know if it's from the clot or what. Still bleeding and havent stopped. Have passed three large blood clots and the baby is still doing fine. I can only say this will be a long pregnancy but at the same time turn out to be a blessing. I think I might check back again in March to given you guys an update. Working in the medical field I wish I could start a research on this condition.
