Maybe we have different definitions of terms like "strategy"?
To me, strategy means selecting shots and patterns of play that are in some way to your advantage or your opponent's detriment. Maybe another way to look at it more generically is that strategy is finding ways to put your opponent under additional pressure or in awkward positions, thereby causing them to miss before you do.
With that definition, fitness and mechanics are the whole enchilada. If you see that the best strategy to beat a particular lefty in singles is to serve wide in the deuce court and then redirect the next shot into the open court, that's great. If you lack a solid serve out wide and the ability to change direction or hit on the rise, that strategy simply is not available to you. If you paid money to study that strategy, I personally don't think you got anything for the money.
I know there is not universal agreement on what I'm saying, and there was a time that I believed in studying strategy before my mechanics allowed me to execute it. I've kind of changed my mind.
That said, I am not an expert, a teaching pro or even a high-level player. So hey. I might be wrong.
There's a difference between studying a strategy and learning how to think. In our case, we teach various strategies, but really what we're doing is teaching people how to think on the tennis court.
I think an apt comparison is college. Could run you $40,000 per year even though the textbooks cost a few hundred bucks. Why the discrepancy? The textbooks are just information. College teaches you how to apply and use that information. How to think. That's the real value.
I've sort of said my piece at this point. Strokes are extremely important. Thinking is extremely important. How a particular player wants to balance those two things is up to them.
Actually... quick personal story just came to mind. In the past year I've literally become twice the doubles player I was before simply by working with Bob & Mike. Learning from them. Not because my shots got any better. They haven't. But the way I moved, anticipated, and worked with my partner did. So for me strategy has made a difference.

Classmate: Accused Mass. teen stayed after school
"He just presented himself to us like any other student would," she said Thursday. "And that's what I think is so hard for the administration right now. You know, their hearts are breaking because they just didn't know he was in need, if he was in need. ... No one knows why he would have behaved in this way and done such a terrible thing."
Students were also puzzled. Chism's teammates on the soccer team have said he was soft-spoken and nonviolent.
Rhaddaoui said Chism was quiet, and she never saw him raise his hand in math class. She said they were also in the same history class, where he told classmates he spoke three languages: English, Portuguese and Japanese.
Mark Nolan, of Clarksville, Tenn., who coached Chism in a local youth soccer program for several years when Chism was 9 or 10, said there was nothing unusual about him.
"He didn't stand out; he wasn't a troublemaker," Nolan said. "He had no problem with other kids. He wasn't overly aggressive."
Nolan recalled that Chism's father was in the military and his mother was a social worker. Both parents attended their son's soccer matches, Nolan said.
Caio Silva, a Danvers High School senior and varsity soccer player, said he knew both Chism and Ritzer. He said he and his teammates are helping each other.
"A lot of the guys are really shocked, a lot of guys are down, really upset," he said.
"It's just really sad," he said. "A lady that was really sweet and a kid who was really sweet. It just doesn't really match up. It's really sad."
The manager of Hollywood Hits Theatres in Danvers said Chism went to the theater late Tuesday afternoon and bought a ticket to see Woody Allen's new movie, "Blue Jasmine."
Scott Przybycien said police came to the theater Tuesday night and said they had information that Chism had been at the theater. Przybycien said the theater's surveillance video showed Chism entering the theater at about 4:15 p.m., paying $8.00 in cash for a movie ticket, then leaving the building at about 6:15 p.m., after the movie ended. Authorities believe Ritzer was killed after school ended at about 2 p.m., but they have not released a specific time.
"He didn't stand out in any way," Przybycien said. "There was no reason for any business to be concerned. He looked like a normal, everyday customer coming in to watch a movie."
Ritzer was described as an enthusiastic, caring teacher who stood outside her classroom and said hello to all students, whether they were in her classes or not.
"She was very approachable," Rhaddaoui said. "She was always smiling. She always made the best of every situation."
Ritzer's family released a statement Thursday, asking the media to respect their privacy as they make arrangements "to celebrate Colleen's vibrant life."
Chism appeared briefly in court Wednesday for arraignment on a murder charge and was ordered held without bail.
Ritzer was the second teacher allegedly killed by a student in the U.S. this week. A Sparks, Nev., middle school teacher was shot Monday, allegedly by a 12-year-old student.
Associated Press writers Denise Lavoie in Boston, Rodrique Ngowi in Danvers, and Travis Loller in Clarksville, Tenn., contributed to this report.

Hopes are high for Megan Young
Will the Philippines score back-to-back victories in international pageants this month?
Only a few weeks after Mutya Johanna Datul became the first Asian winner of the Miss Supranational contest in Belarus, Megan Lynne Young is now being considered a likely winner in her quest to become the country's first Miss World.
No Filipino woman has topped the 63-year-old, London-based pageant, but Young seems to be moving closer to the elusive title, judging from her strong performance in the early rounds of the contest ongoing in Indonesia.
The Filipino-American actress has made it to the "Dances of the World" segment, set to be shown in the coronation night show on Sept. 28. Young's performance was based on the Mindanao royalty dance called singkil.
She landed in the Top 11 of the "Beach Beauty" competition, earning her a slot in the photo shoot special to be shown on coronation night, too.
Regarded as a controversial event in the predominantly Islamic country, "Beach Beauty" is one of the pageant's "fast-track" competitions: Contestants earn points to help them advance to the semifinals.
Previous Miss World Philippines titleholders have done well in this segment—like French-Filipino Gwendoline Ruais (who finished second in 2011) and Pakistani-Filipino Queneerich Rehman (a semifinalist in 2012).
Young failed to score points in the "Sports Challenge," but she is expected to perform well in the "Top Model" and "World's Fashion Designer" competitions. Results have not been released at press time.
She may also increase her chances if she makes the short list in the crucial "Beauty with a Purpose" tilt.
Although results were not yet out at press time, reigning Mister World Francisco Escobar of Colombia earlier congratulated Young and several other ladies via his Twitter account, as
finalists in this segment.
Additional points will be given to the ladies who will figure in the public voting. Fans from all over the world may log in their votes through the Miss World app for smartphones.
Those who would like to support Young through public voting may download the Miss World app through the Google Play or Android App stores.
Before Young left for Indonesia, Miss World Philippines organizer Cory Quirino told the press that Miss World owner Julia Morley had sent a letter, congratulating her "for a very lovely Miss World Philippines!"
Quirino said she was "encouraged" by Morley's message. "I had the same feeling about Gwendoline [in 2011] but this time it is stronger [for Young]," she told the Inquirer .
Meanwhile, protests by Islamic groups have pushed organizers to move the venue from Sentul International Convention Center near Jakarta to Nua Dusa Convention Center in Bali.
GMA 7 will air a delayed telecast at 10 p.m.

Special Correspondent
Submits proposals for waste management
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The Federation of Residents Associations, Thiruvananthapuram, (FRAT) has demanded free health check-up and medical insurance for sanitation workers involved in clearing garbage from the city streets.
FRAT general secretary Paraniyam Devakumar raised the demand during an appearance before the Legislative Committee on Non official Resolutions and Bills to submit proposals for improving solid-waste management.
The recommendations submitted by FRAT include a broad-based awareness campaign, promotion of vermicomposting and biogas plants for homesteads and hotels, composting-cum-power generation units for hospitals, markets and commercial institutions, and bigger plants for corporations, municipalities and panchayats.
Health hazards
Mr. Devakumar underlined the need for a study to reveal the health hazards posed by the increasing use of plastics and flex boards.
He called for stern action against litterbugs and a strategy to tackle pollution of water bodies. FRAT also recommended private participation in collection and disposal of municipal garbage.
Carbon credits
Mr. Devakumar told the committee that the country could gain carbon credits by promoting biogas production for cooking and generation of electricity. He said the organic manure manufactured as a bye-product by composting plants could be sold to farmers if the operators maintain quality.
Mr.Devakumar also called for streamlining land acquisition for garbage plants by ensuring fair price for property owners.

Most insurance coverage is aimed at accidental losses. Policyholders are generally on their own when it comes to economic losses. One important exception to this rule is coverage for business interruption losses. When determining coverage, food producers and distributors who are concerned about economic losses arising from food recall issues need to make sure that they have an adequate business interruption plan in place.
Business interruption insurance coverage is intended to return the policyholder the amount of profit it would have earned had a food recall not occurred. It is important to be patient in handling business interruption claims involving food recalls, as the lost profits may continue for several months or even years after a recall event. Your business interruption coverage will be capped at the amount set forth in your policy. How much business interruption coverage do you need? Ask yourself these questions:
Honestly answering these two questions will give you an idea of how much business interruption coverage you need, and for what length of time.
Extra expense is a coverage that goes hand in hand with business interruption coverage. In a recall situation, you may need to use or rent additional warehouse space to store recalled product, have additional transportation costs associated with the recall, or even hire additional employees specifically to deal with the recall. These items or expenses may not be considered business income losses, but would be covered under the extra expense provision of your policy.
Having commercial liability and even recall insurance is not enough. It is important for food producers and distributors to have business interruption and extra expense coverage that will address the economic losses associated with a recall for food products.

While we have a hole in our hearts and the world seems a little dimmer, we are so proud of her. Sarah taught us much about life and what's important in it. She is greatly missed.

Funding for Lending Scheme
Launched on 13 July 2012 by the Government the Funding for Lending Scheme's (FLS) aim is to boost lending to households and businesses.
The scheme will allow banks and building societies to borrow from the Bank of England for up to four years providing mortgages and loans as security. The scheme runs for an 18 month period from 1 August 2012 until 31 January 2014.
In order to assist banks and building societies to lend the FLS will be monitored the scheme to incentivise lending, the more lent the more than can be borrowed for the Bank of England and at a lower interest. Hopefully this positive cycle will encourage greater lending. As there is no 'upper' lending limit for an individual or aggregate bank or building society the limits will be due to how much is lent to householders and business and the amount of collateral provided to the Bank of England.
The Bank of England will be publishing their FLS lending data together with the lending data from the banks and building societies using the scheme.
The FLS replaces the National Loan Guarantee Scheme launched in March 2012 which had the intention of lowering the cost of business loans to Small and Medium Sized Entities (SMEs) is delivering promising early signs.
Currently the FLS has been taken up by 13 financial institutions representing 73% of the market and £1.2 trillion worth of lending:
- Aldermore
- Barclays
- Hinckley & Rugby Building Society
- Ipswich Building Society
- Kleinwort Benson
- Leeds Building Society
- Lloyds Banking Group
- Monmouthshire Building Society
- Nationwide Building Society
- Principality Building Society
- RBS Group
- Santander
- Virgin Money
How the scheme works
For details of how the scheme works, the Bank of England have provided a helpful guide together with a worked example.

The reason the addition-by-subtraction endorsement is so important is that it costs the Democrats, particularly likely nominee Freddy Ferrer, a critical field operation. In the 2001 runoff, Ferrer had a union army in the streets that included District Council 37, handing out palm cards and literature, ringing doorbells, driving voters to the polls, making calls, generating electoral juice. That's why he got 84 percent of a record Latino turnout in the runoff, and 71 percent of blacks, and that's what he needs to spur street buzz in 2005. Without troops on the ground, usually union, the sense of movement that helped David Dinkins unseat Ed Koch in 1989 and propelled Ferrer in 2001 may never develop.
The untold endorsement story has a tabloid simplicity. In 2004, DC 37 and Bloomberg agreed to a belated 2002-to-2005 contract that, contrary to the mayor's prior bluster, included retroactive raises, albeit modest ones. For the first time in the history of city collective bargaining, however, the agreement dangled another 1 percent hike if the parties could find common ground before June 30 on productivity concessions. On May 19, the union held a mayoral forum where 800 of its leaders were entertained by Mayor Mike's tease that the city and the union were close to a productivity agreement, one that would instantly put another $300 in the average member's pocket. Wild applause and whistle-blowing followed his "good news" declaration.
On June 28, an agreement was reached that was such a fake that DC 37 executive director Lillian Roberts openly told The Chief, a newspaper for city workers, that she'd kept her promise that "we would get the 1 percent and that we would not have to give anything back." Two of the three so-called productivity improvements involved more jobs for DC 37 members at the Police Department and the Human Resources Administration, with the city acquiescing to longtime union demands for greater NYPD civilianization and less contracting-out at HRA.
On July 14, the union's executive board voted 14 to 12 to endorse Bloomberg, the only time it's endorsed a mayoral candidate for a general election before the primary. It was also the only time in modern history that the union's backed a Republican, except its endorsement of Rudy Giuliani in 1997, an alliance that later led to jail time for the union brass who fraudulently fixed the vote on the contract they'd already signed with Giuliani.
Incredibly, DC 37 was in such a rush to close its end of the transparent transaction that it bypassed its own constitution, which requires that the 327-member delegate assembly vote on endorsements except when "time is of the essence." In a Voice interview, Roberts acknowledged that the union had never before made a mayoral endorsement without a delegate assembly vote. But she said that the assembly was "on vacation" in July and August and that the board "didn't feel they should wait." Actually, the assembly convened in July 2001 to vote on all its major city endorsements, but it is such a difficult body to control that the pre-Roberts leadership won by a narrow 50.01 percent of the vote.
Denying there was any link between the endorsement and the 1 percent raise, Roberts nonetheless boasted that the city agreed in the productivity deal to hire more DC 37represented secretaries and slash temp contracts, a recommendation in union white papers that Bloomberg had previously spurned. Asked if the union would've endorsed Bloomberg had no agreement been reached by June 30, Roberts said, "We would have had a problem" and "we would have kept pushing" for it, apparently unaware that she could not get the 1 percent beyond that deadline. A union spokeswoman told the Voice that DC 37 now intends to mount a large field operation for the mayor, not merely deduct one from the Democratic nominee.
Roberts conceded she had not only met with Ferrer in New York early this year, but joined him at a meeting in Washington with the head of the national union, Gerald McEntee. While she tried to make it appear that the McEntee meeting was happenstance, occurring only because she happened to be at a meeting of the national board, a top Ferrer aide says "she set it up" at Ferrer's request. Ferrer declined during a Voice interview to discuss the meetings, but according to one ally, was so convinced he had a commitment from Roberts that he asked for the McEntee meeting to see if he could also get the backing of the national union. Roberts claims she made no commitment and merely noted at the Washington session that "we have a process" for endorsements that would have to be followed. The 1 percent dance with Bloomberg went into full swing after this Washington sideshow.

Demands on web survey tools for epidemiological research

In countries where the Internet access is high, a web-based questionnaire could save time and money compared to printed questionnaires, mainly by eliminating the two steps of transferring answers from printed to a digital data set and manually completing missing and impossible answers. However, many of the features wanted for conducting large epidemiological studies are not available in many web survey systems. Here we describe design issues the investigator needs to be aware of when using web-based questionnaires in epidemiological research.

Review: 'Valentino's Ghost'
The burning topic of Muslim (mis)representation in U.S. media is not well served by Michael Singh's amateurish and ill-defined docu.
The burning topic of Muslim (mis)representation in U.S. media is not well served by Michael Singh's amateurish and ill-defined docu.
The pairing of roots rocker John Mellencamp and horror scribe Stephen King for a Southern Gothic musical may sound irresistible. But it takes more than a groove and gore to make this tedious tale of…
After the indie songfests "Colma: The Musical" and "Fruit Fly," H.P. Mendoza goes in another direction entirely with "I Am a Ghost," the writer-helmer's idiosyncratic wade into horror terrain.
Grafting "The Sixth Sense" onto "The Breakfast Club" and making it work sounds like a tough call, but the makers of "Ghost Graduation" have pulled it off.
"Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance" reps a marginal improvement on the series' first installment and contains enough idiosyncrasies to launch it ahead of the moribund "Season of the Witch."
This elaborately conceived fourth entry in the Tom Cruise action franchise delivers a tremendous early surge of excitement before running into engine trouble.
Comic murder mystery "A Ghost of a Chance" draws on American tradition and samurai spirit to deliver a hilarious supernatural scenario with a legal angle.
A silly reality show in which actors reminisce about so-called paranormal experiences.

Meadowdale grad, killed in action, wanted to serve
Courtesy of Andrea Velasquez Kessler
Army 2nd Lt. Travis Morgado, a graduate of Meadowdale High School and the University of Washington, was killed May 23 in Afghanistan.
Courtesy of Andrea Velasquez Kessler
Army 2nd Lt. Travis Morgado, a graduate of Meadowdale High School and the University of Washington, was killed May 23 in Afghanistan.
"We said, 'Travis, why do you want to join the military? You have an education. You have no college debt. You can go right into life.'
"And he said, 'Mom, why am I so lucky? I want to give back.' "
Since Morgado was killed in Afghanistan on May 23, Andrea Velasquez Kessler has been flooded with memories of her beloved son. They include that discussion about his choice to serve his country.
Today, the Edmonds woman and her family will be at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, where a memorial ceremony will honor 2nd Lt. Travis Alan Morgado. A 2005 graduate of Meadowdale High School, he was part of the 5th Battalion, 20th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division.
Joe Kubistek, a spokesman at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, said Tuesday that along with a memorial ceremony in Afghanistan "we hold one here for the home-stationed community, both on base and off base, to gather and pay their last respects, and recognize a soldier for the sacrifice they have made."
Kessler said Monday she hadn't received an official investigation report. She has written to lawmakers seeking answers. According to the Department of Defense, Morgado died in Zharay, Afghanistan, after insurgents attacked his patrol with an improvised explosive device.
Morgado, 25, graduated from the University of Washington in 2009 with a degree in civil engineering. He moved to San Jose, Calif., after college to stay with his father. Kessler and Joe Morgado were divorced and are both remarried.
"He wasn't ready to do the 9-to-5. He wanted to think about it, to not be in school, and to hang out with family," Kessler said of her son, who planned to look for a job in California with his father's construction company.
Along with his mother and his stepfather, Dean Kessler, Travis Morgado is survived by his father and stepmother, Joe and Nancy Morgado; brothers Eric, Carlos and Connor Morgado; and sisters Sofia Kessler and Ana Morgado.
After college, he began to seriously discuss joining the military. The family talked with a relative who was in the Navy. Morgado's heart was set on the Army.
Kessler tried to talk him out of it. As a retiree, her father was a Peace Corps volunteer. "He was in Honduras in the Peace Corps. He wanted to see his grandson do that, too. I told Travis, 'There are so many ways you can give back,' " she said. Still, her son wanted the challenge of the Army.
Even as a boy, she said, Travis looked out for others. She remembers that quality from all the times he played with his brothers and friends on their Edmonds cul-de-sac.
"They were always out playing. It was hockey -- they all had Rollerblades -- then baseball, then football. They all looked up to him," Kessler said. "He always put himself on the underdog teams."
Morgado was a "minimalist," she said, who didn't have many possessions. All he needed fit in a backpack. He was funny, and known to tease his siblings. "And he loved to eat. He had a huge appetite," Kessler said.
He also loved reading. When he was 10, Kessler gave him the novel "Jurassic Park."
"He had memorized the names of every single dinosaur," she said. When he read the book, he told her that "some of the dinosaurs aren't even from the Jurassic period."
It was November 2010 when Morgado left for basic training at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo. Then it was on to Fort Benning, Ga. After he finished officer candidate school, Kessler learned he had chosen Army Infantry. "I was heartbroken. He had a civil engineering degree. I couldn't understand," she said.
Kessler said she and her husband opposed the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. "He knew our views," she said.
When he was killed, Kessler said, her son had been in Afghanistan less than three months, on his first deployment. They were in contact frequently. "He was a platoon leader. He said it was kind of primitive, but it wasn't too bad. He was supposed to come home at the end of November," she said.
Since her son's death, Kessler has been given letters he wrote to a friend, a young woman he had met on a plane.
One letter may have reflected a change in his views. According to Kessler, her son wrote to his friend: "We are fighting without a purpose, you cannot kill an idea, and yet everyone here is still willing to fight."
Kessler feels that many Americans have forgotten about the men and women still at war. "Many in our country don't pay attention to important issues. I think most don't even know Afghanistan is a war zone," she said. "People in that area have been fighting for thousands of years."
Kessler's thoughts about U.S. foreign policy won't keep her and all of Morgado's family from honoring him today at Joint Base Lewis-McChord. She is grateful that many of his childhood friends traveled to San Jose for his funeral. "He seemed to touch a lot of lives," Kessler said.
There is little comfort for this grieving mother. She keeps telling herself one thing.
"It's the mantra I've been saying since the moment I found out," she said. "He was doing what he wanted to do."

COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Maryland's plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions 25 percent by 2020 meets a series of benchmark tests set by state lawmakers, concludes a new pair of studies by the University of Maryland Center for Integrative Environmental Research (CIER). The findings should help clear the way for adoption of a full Climate Action Plan next year, the researchers say.
Maryland's 2009 Greenhouse Gas Reduction Act ordered independent studies to make sure that its provisions won't hurt the reliability of the state's electricity supply or damage the manufacturing sector of the economy. The CIER studies give State plans a passing grade on these scores and project some upsides:
"We can allay critics' fears," says University of Maryland School of Public Policy Professor Matthias Ruth, the study's principal investigator and CIER director. "Our studies confirm that sound environmental responses to climate change do not have to come at the expense of Maryland's economy, or put a crimp in the availability of electricity in the State. To the contrary, we see net benefits."
These reports come as part of an ongoing effort by the state to assess the impact of Maryland's developing Climate Action Plan (CAP) on the manufacturing sector and the wider state economy. Future studies are expected to assess manufacturing-specific and economy-wide impacts.
For example, the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Act requires an additional independent study by 2015, with oversight from an industry-represented task force, evaluate climate policy effects on manufacturing.

SuperdrolNG MAss FX Final Review
SuperdrolNG MAss FX Final Review
Final Review
Pictures are up at bb.com, I am trying to figure out how to put them on here.
I am not going to go through here and look up how much each of my lifts went up, but I think the pictures speak for themselves. My diet really did not change much while using this product, but I added about 5 pounds, and while I did not have my bodyfat tested it looks like it dropped. I know I fit into some pants better than I did before
Now to the review. Overall I really enjoyed this combo once my body acclimated to the yohimbe. The energy was intense but I never felt a crash afterwards, just great energy for most of the day. The energizing effect diminished towards the end of the log, but overall I was pretty pleased with this aspect of the product. My mood tended to be elevated and upbeat but I did experience somewhat of a lowered libido, which returned to normal after I discontinued SDNG. Now it was not a dramatic drop but it was noticeable but nothing that I was concerned about.
The strength gains on this combo were terrific, I hit several personal records in both my bench press and deadlift, but overall, the strength gains were great. In the gym I would sweat like a Klansman at a DMX concert, but this was an effect I enjoyed. The focus and endurance aspects were good as well.
I am not sure what benefits to attribute to what product as I was running Mass FX and Superdrol NG, but as a combo this stack was superb. I wish the price of the two was a bit cheaper and I would definitely run this again, but there are so many products I want to try out I may wait a bit. I am also going to attempt to formulate my own SDNG with DHEA, ATD, Yohimbe, etc and see how it works out, but from some preliminary experiments using VPX redline + ATD + DHEA the results have fallen short of SDNG.
Talk all the **** you want about this product (I agree the marketing is a bit of a problem) but overall this is a damn good formulation for an older gentleman such as myself and when combined with MassFX, really helped get me over a hump in my training and produced some very noticeable gains.

Guess Brighton is our local shopping centre. I don't mind it. There's pretty much everything I need there - including Borders with a Starbucks in it.
I try not to go there on a weekend though. It's just annoying. Especially at this time of year. :mad:
I'm Keith, and I'm a Trafford Centre addict.
well I've always been a shopaholic soooooo no surprise that I love the trafford centre. Plus it has an apple store :D
I wish there were a few less designer clothes stores though

My nearest big shopping 'area' is Reading - but that's really half mall half outside pedestrianised High Street.
Do occasionally venture across London to Lakeside at Thurrock or Bluewater but that's out of habit from when Lakeside was the one of the only really big 'shopping centres' around.
As long as it has a Disney Store and a Build a Bear I am happy :D
Went to Lakeside once to do our Christmas shopping and me and Adrian practically came to blows as we got so stressed with the crowds and the size of the place.
Never been to Bluewater. Will I have to drive over the big bridge to get there?
Oooh I was quite impressed with Plymouth. Bit of a trek just for a Starbucks though.

NASA's Mars Curiosity rover has gained the space fan's ultimate accolade: immortalisation in Lego.
The Curiosity toy is the fifth design to be approved for release via Lego's Cuusoo programme, which lets enthusiasts submit their own designs to the Danish-based company for others to vote on. Any model that wins at least 10,000 votes is considered for commercial release.
Designed by former NASA engineer Stephen Pakbaz, who worked on the real Curiosity, the Lego version has a working suspension system, an articulated arm and a posable mast for recreating your favourite events in the rover's ongoing mission – such as finding the first definitive evidence that Mars could once have supported life.
Pakbaz has also released plans for a Lego version of the Sky Crane, the novel system daringly employed by NASA to lower Curiosity to the surface of Mars.

Cop charged with child abuse after five years
MANILA, Philippines—A policeman has been haled to court on a charge of child abuse for running over the foot of a 15-year-old boy with his motorcycle and punching him in the face after the teenager accidentally hit the law officer with a golf ball.
The case for violation of the Special Protection of Children against Abuse, Exploitation and Discrimination Act was filed in the Manila Regional Trial Court on Thursday against PO3 Alfredo Dayao of Malate, Manila, for an incident that happened five years ago.
Records of the case show that the boy and a friend were playing catch with a golf ball along Paris Street in Malate in the afternoon of Jan. 12, 2008. The ball went astray, however, traveling in the direction of Dayao just as he was coming out of a gate. Dayao tried to avoid the ball but it bounced on the gate and still hit him.
Dayao then got on his motorcycle and ran over the complainant's foot, pinning it under the front tire. Dayao yelled, demanding to know who threw the ball, and when the boy admitted he had been playing with it, he held the boy by the shirt and punched him in the face, according to the records.
The complaint said a pedicab driver informed the boy's mother that her son was being beaten up. When the mother arrived, Dayao said, "Ikaw ba ang nanay ng batang ito, binato ako ng bola (Are you the mother of this boy? He threw a ball at me)."
When the woman answered, "Baka naman po hindi sinasadya ng bata (Perhaps it was not intentional)," Dayao took the golf ball and said, "Gusto mo ibato ko ang bola sa mukha mo para malaman mo kung gaano kasakit (You want me to throw the ball in your face so you can feel how painful it is)?"
The boy's sister, who also arrived at the scene, said Dayao also punched and kicked her mother. She embraced her mother and pleaded for Dayao to stop. Instead, the policeman got hold of a wooden sign and repeatedly hit the two women.
According to the prosecutor who conducted the preliminary investigation, Dayao did not submit any counteraffidavit. Assistant City Prosecutor Maria Cielo Rubi Galicia dismissed the original charges of attempted homicide and slight physical injury for insufficiency of evidence but recommended the child abuse charge and a bail of P80,000.

39:1055(90)NG - - AFGE, National Veterans Affairs Council and VA, Veterans Health Services and Research Administration, Washington, DC - - 1991 FLRAdec NG - - v39 p1055
[ v39 p1055 ]
The decision of the Authority follows:
39 FLRA No. 90
March 11, 1991
The petition for review in this case concerns the negotiability of a provision imposed on the parties by the Federal Service Impasses Panel (FSIP) which was disapproved by the Acting Chief Medical Director, Veterans Health Services and Research Administration pursuant to section 7114(c) of the Statute. The Agency filed a statement of position and the Union filed a reply brief. After the filing of various supplemental submissions and motions, the Authority directed the Agency to file with the Authority, proof of service of the Agency's disapproval of the FSIP-imposed provision. Both parties filed responses to the Authority's order. For the reasons set out below, the Union's petition for review must be dismissed.
Section 7114(c)(2) of the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute (the Statute) provides that the head of an agency shall approve a collective bargaining agreement "within 30 days from the date the agreement is executed" if the agreement complies with applicable law and regulation. Section 7114(c)(3) provides:
If the head of the agency does not approve or disapprove the agreement within the 30-day period, the agreement shall take effect and shall be binding on the agency and the exclusive representative subject to the provisions of this chapter and any other applicable law, rule, or regulation.
To be timely, any disapproval must be served on the exclusive representative within the 30-day period. For example, American Federation of Government Employees, AFL-CIO, Local 1760 and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Social Security Administration, 28 FLRA 1142, 1143 (1987) (Social Security Administration).
The Authority's Regulations provide two methods of service. Specifically, service of any document, including "documents and papers served by one party on another," must "by made by certified mail or in person." 5 C.F.R. º 2429.27(b). The date of service is the date a document is deposited in the mail or is delivered in person. 5 C.F.R. º 2429.27(d). Proof of service consists of a "return post office receipt or other written receipt executed by the party or person served . . . ." 5 C.F.R. º 2429.27(b).
As relevant here, the parties separately requested assistance of the Federal Service Impasses Panel (FSIP) in resolving an impasse resulting from mid-term bargaining. On March 30, 1990, the FSIP consolidated the requests for assistance and directed the parties to adopt the Union's proposal on the matter in dispute. Department of Veterans Affairs, Washington, D.C. and National VA Council, American Federation of Government Employees, AFL-CIO, Case Nos. 90 FSIP 32, 90 FSIP 57 (1990). Subsequently, in a letter to the President, National VA Council, AFGE, the Acting Chief Medical Director, Veterans Health Services and Research Administration disapproved the provision in question.
The date and method of service of the Agency's disapproval are in dispute here. The Union argues that the disapproval is untimely because it was dated May 5, 1990, more than 30 days after the FSIP decision. In addition, the Union argues that the disapproval was not served on the Union in a manner consistent with the Authority's Rules and Regulations. The Union claims that the disapproval was transmitted to the Union by electronic facsimile transmission (FAX) rather than by personal service or certified mail as required by the Authority's Rules and Regulations. The Union also claims that it received a copy of the disapproval dated May 5, 1990, by mail, on May 9, 1990.
The Agency argues that the disapproval was timely. The Agency contends that as the FSIP decision was served by mail, it had an additional 5 days--a total of 35 days from the date of the decision--to disapprove the provision. The Agency asserts, in this regard, that it had until May 4, 1990, to disapprove the disputed provision. The Agency asserts further that although the disapproval originally was misdated May 5, 1990, it was "FAXED" to the Union on May 4, 1990, and a disapproval letter with the correct date of May 4, 1990, was served on the Union by certified mail on May 4, 1990.
As an initial matter, there is no statutory or regulatory basis on which to conclude that the Agency had 35 days from the issuance of the Panel decision in which to disapprove the disputed provision. Section 7114(c) of the Statute is clear: an agency head has 30 days from the date of execution of an agreement to disapprove a provision. The 30-day period is triggered by the execution of the agreement, not by "the service of a notice or other paper" within the meaning of section 2429.22 of the Authority's Regulations. Accordingly, the additional 5 days provided under that section does not apply here. See International Organization of Masters, Mates and Pilots and Panama Canal Commission, 36 FLRA 555, 560-63 (1990) (the date on which an interest arbitrator's award was served on the parties constituted the date of execution of the agreement, and the agency head had 30 days from that date in which to disapprove the agreement). Moreover, there is no assertion, or other basis on which to conclude, that the parties engaged in further negotiations after issuance of the FSIP decision or that any further actions were necessary after such issuance for the parties to execute their agreement. Compare National Treasury Employees Union and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Division of Bank Supervision, Chicago Region, Chicago, Illinois, 39 FLRA No. 70, slip op. at 2 (1991) (as the parties engaged in further, substantive negotiations after the issuance of an interest arbitrator's award, the issuance of the award did not constitute the date on which the agreement was executed).
We conclude, therefore, that the date on which the FSIP decision was issued to, and served on, the parties constitutes the date on which the parties' agreement was executed, for purposes of agency head review under section 7114(c) of the Statute. The FSIP decision was issued on March 30, 1990. Accordingly, the 30-day time period for agency head disapproval of the agreement expired on April 29, 1990.
Although the parties disagree over the date on which, and method by which, the Agency's disapproval of the disputed provision was served on the Union, there is no contention that the disapproval was served any earlier than May 4, 1990. Accordingly, as the 30-day time period expired on April 29, 1990, it is clear that the disapproval was not timely served on the Union.
Moreover, without regard for the parties' disagreement over the due date for the Agency's disapproval, the Agency has not demonstrated that it timely served the disapproval on the Union. As noted previously, the Authority directed the Agency to submit proof of service of its disapproval. In particular, the Authority directed the Agency to submit the certified mail receipts showing the date the disapproval was delivered to a U.S. Postal Office. Also as noted previously, the Agency timely responded to the Authority's order. The Agency states in its response that "the certified mail receipt in question was not returned" to the Agency. In an affidavit attached to the response, an attorney in the Agency's Office of the General Counsel states that he caused copies of the disapproval to be sent to two Union officials, by certified mail, on May 4, 1990. The affiant states that "[c]uriously, neither certified receipt was returned to this office."
It is clear that the Agency has not demonstrated proper, timely service of the disapproval on the Union. First, the Authority's Regulations do not provide for service by facsimile transmission. Accordingly, the "FAX" transmission of the disapproval does not satisfy the Authority's Regulations. Second, the Agency has not provided proof, within the meaning of the Authority's Regulations, that it properly and timely mailed the disapproval to the Union. As noted previou

Mubarak invited to Washington in August
- By Laura RozenLaura Rozen writes The Cable daily at ForeignPolicy.com.
Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak is coming to Washington August 17 for a White House meeting, a former U.S. government consultant said he was recently told by Egyptian officials. Mubarak had originally been invited to the White House in May, but had to delay his trip due to the death of his grandson. A White House official said he wasn't confirming or denying the meeting, because it hasn't yet been publicly announced.
Arab governments would like the Obama administration to make a more public statement outlining its plan for advancing Middle East peace before the start of Ramadan (which begins around August 20), the former government consultant, who asked to speak on background, said.
The month-long Ramadan holiday is expected to slow down Arab government activity in a crucial period, as the United States is trying to prepare for talks to advance the peace process.
"The U.S. has been working very hard to rebuild the U.S. Egyptian partnership," said the Center for Strategic and International Studies' Jon Alterman, who said he was not previously aware of the planned Mubarak visit. "You saw that with the president going to Cairo …. I think the Obama administration has concluded that this is an important Arab relationship, and there's clearly a desire to walk away from the spirit of confrontation that many Egyptians and many Americans felt characterized the relationship for much of the last eight years."
"But where this [visit] fits into a broader strategy, I don't know," Alterman said.
Mubarak's last visit to the United States was in 2004, when he visited former President George W. Bush in Crawford Texas, and he last visited Washington in 2003.
