The Left Front comprising the Communist Party of India (CPI) and the Communist Party of India (Marxist) will jointly contest seven out of the 40 seats in the March 3 Goa Assembly elections.
The CPI will field its candidates from Panaji, Santa Cruz, Saligao, Priol and Sanquelim, while the CPI(M) will contest the Sanvordem and Mayem seats, CPI General Secretary Christopher Fonseca announced last week.
Mr. Fonseca, a prominent trade union leader, said that the party's general council and the Secretariat, after much deliberation, decided to contest the 2012 Goa Assembly polls.
"We feel these elections are important for Goa and the people of Goa, especially the common people — working class, senior citizens, women and youth. When opportunities like these come, people have a chance to decide and choose their representatives. Also it is the duty of a party committed to social problems to come out and fight the elections," Mr. Fonseca said, adding that his party had always fought the issues of the working class and common people like high inflation, joblessness, contract and other forms of exploitation of the working class which have magnified in a big way after the liberalisation of the economy.

It provides testing and other procedures to keep students, teachers, administrators and parents accountable for a child's education.

Hey ladies! It looks like you all have a great group for support and information here.
A few weeks ago at about (24 weeks), we were told that two ultrasounds have confirmed that our DD has dilated ureters. I think I was in a little shock to hear of any 'abnormalities' that I had no questions for the perinatalogist at that time. He said that the ureters are both dilated where they connect into the kidneys. He also explained that there is the possibility that her ureters are kinked, narrowed, or that there is a possible obstruction. We will be having a f/u us at 33 weeks to see if it persists or if it is something that she has outgrown.
I've been doing some online research, but not quite sure what to make of all of it. Are there other names for this? I'm not sure what the difference is for dilated ureters and hydronephrosis, or if there actually is a difference. I mean I know hydronephrosis actually is swelling of the kidney, but is that what the doctor actually meant when he said 'dilation of the ureter where it meets the kidney'? Guess I'm a little clueless on the terminology at this point.
Were any of your DC diagnosed with dilated ureters in vitro? And were any diagnosed with BOTH ureters dilated, and what was the outcome/diagnosis at birth? Do you have any suggestions on what we need to do to prepare for our next appointment, and for beyond, if her condition perisists? We have no family history of kidney or bladder problems, and we have a healthy and happy 2 yo DD already. I did a search through the posts to see if anyone has posted about this specifically, and read some heartbreaking stories, and some heart-warming success stories that you ladies have gone through. My heart goes out to all of you going through these issues with your DC.
I'm just trying to get some information on what to do and where to go from here. So thank you in advance!

BOISE -- The debate over the education reform plan for Idaho continues, moving now into the courtroom. A district judge is considering whether one of the Students Come First laws might be unconstitutional.
The battle is over the law that directly affects teacher collective bargaining rights and labor agreement terms. Collective bargaining contracts were already terminated in June.
That particular law, which was Senate Bill 1108, limits collective bargaining, phases out tenure for new teachers and limits labor agreements to one year. Plaintiffs in the lawsuit, which include the Idaho Education Association (IEA), teachers, and three district education associations, say the law is unconstitutional for a few reasons.
Citing the Idaho State Constitution's single-subject rule, plaintiffs told Judge Timothy Hansen SB1108 was written too broadly: The net is just simply too big.
Additionally, they say the new law violates contract rights by forcing districts to change contracts already in place and going back on already promised rights. One example plaintiffs gave was the repeal of early retirement incentives for current school employees.
To take away a vested benefit like that retroactively is, if we were to shift the context to wages, is like saying, we're going to take some money out of your bank account because we decided that for ten years, we were overpaying you, their attorney said.
The defense, which includes the state of Idaho, Governor Butch Otter and State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Luna, says that type of incentive isn't considered compensation, and isn't forever guaranteed.
It is not enough to simply use over and over and over again the term 'vested benefit' without examining the nature of the statute, the policy reasons for which it was created, their attorney said.
Judge Hansen said he would prepare a written opinion in this case. The IEA's general counsel expects that decision within the next 30 days.
Being well aware of the significance of this case, we will try to get it out as quickly as we can, Hansen said.
If the judge rules in favor of the IEA, their attorney believes the state would acknowledge the ruling and repeal the law without a need for further legal action. That would mean things would revert back to how they were, and then likely be taken up again next legislative session.
If Hansen sides with the defense, of course, the law stands as is, though the law is set for a referendum vote on the 2012 ballot. The burden of proof rests on the plaintiff.

In St. Cyr v. Brandywine Senior Living, Inc., 20 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 85426 (D.N.J. June 20, 2012), the court denied summary judgment in an FMLA interference and retaliation suit in which an employee was terminated a mere two days before she was to start FMLA leave. While temporal proximity (between the protected activity and the adverse employment action) is usually insufficient to defeat summary judgment without more evidence, here the proximity was "unusually suggestive," so summary judgment was denied. In a victory for the employer, however, the court held the employee unable to prove that she was disabled under the NJLAD, notwithstanding her arthritis. First, while it caused her pain when she walked and caused her to stumble, it was resolved by medication. Second, the plaintiff provided no medical evidence of a disability, conceded it did not impact her ability to work (besides her need for leave for arthritis-related surgery), and she never requested an accommodation.

As for the first impressions, they're very important, so if the show does them badly, it tends to screw up the characters. Its possible Scorpius gets some depth and becomes interesting. Honestly, the only character I can say I'll never be interested in or like is Chiana. I'm just saying that, after watching Nerve, I'm not interested in Scorpius and his chair whatsoever, and that my first impression is that he might make an ok one episode villain, but he doesn't have anything going for him as an ongoing villain, besides the fact that he's evil.
Looking at descriptions (not spoilers) on wikipedia of some of the season 2 episodes, it seems like stuff I'd like, so I'm probably going to finish up Season 1 in a few days, and get the second season eventually (although it may be a month or two). I've also still got about 9 episodes of B5 left to watch.

text: There is one major lesson I learned at Bumbershoot this year: just because a band isn't playing the MainStage doesn't mean they can't attract as many people. The audience surrounding the Fisher Green Stage for Neon Trees was so large that it overflowed onto the sidewalk and even up the stairs. Everyone went wild when the band started playing and vocalist Tyler Glenn started belting out some incredible notes. And it just got better and better – people continued to get more and more excited as the show went on!

About MeInstagram: Crystal Di Sivo (add me)
What do I have the other models don't have?
A great ass and a tiny waist
"…whoever you are, whatever it is that you do, when you really want something, it's because that desire originated in the soul of the universe. It's your mission on earth. To realize one's Personal Legend is a person's only real obligation."
~ Paulo Coelho~
"It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting."
~ Paulo Coelho~
Lets be honest here, maybe even real.
I love to model, being the center of attention is the only thing I'm great at. Everything in my life lead me to where I am now. I started off as a dancer, than I slowly moved into the pageant world. I slowly started to realize that my passion is modeling. Now do I want to be a model for the rest of my life, maybe, but my main goal is to become a Maxim model. I would also like to be in music videos or even an extra in a movie (who knows).
Do I have flaws. Of course I have flaws. Not only am I short. I'm a short lady with curves. Yes, its hard to be a model when I have barriers against me. This is what I learned. I don't care what people say, or what people want me to look like. I'm going to be me because its all I can be.
I don't know if I will make it far, but whats the worst that will happen. I can either become something and stay who I am, or become nothing and still stay who I am.
Life is all about determination and boy do I have a lot of it.
Just because you have a camera, doesn't mean your a photographer and just because you think your pretty, it doesn't make you a model. Being a model means capturing an emotion, which can be expressed through fierce eyes, tense lips and a strong pose. A great photographer should be able to capture the model when one is feeling vulnerable, sexy, confident, insincere basically the second the model learns to relax and feel. At the end of the day, those who are great models are great models because they feel the emotion rather than faking it.
Since when do models need to be a size 0

Ragamala Dance brings the sensibility of mysticism and sanctity of the 2,000-year-old Indian dance form, bharatanatyam, to the contemporary stage. By interfacing choreography with live Indian music and the visual traditions of kolams and Warli paintings, Sacred Earth celebrates body and nature, and soul and earth. The choreographers use visual traditions to explore the interconnectedness between humans and the landscapes that shape them. The evening builds from silent, meditative beginnings to a thrilling crescendo as the performers surrender to the beauty of this sacred earth that has been given to us to safeguard, cherish and pass on to our future generations.

In Access 2010 Power Shortcuts, Access expert Alicia Katz Pollock shares hundreds of tips and shortcuts to vastly increase efficiency and get the full power out of Access 2010. The course includes tips for working with the Ribbon and Quick Access toolbar, managing files, customizing and automating Access, rapid data entry and editing, working with tables, queries, forms, and reports, managing your database, and much more. Exercise files accompany the course.
One of the new features in Access 2010 is the addition of the same theme colors and fonts that I used across the Microsoft Office suite. Using Theme Sets allows you to create a consistent look and feel across all of your files, no matter whether they were created in Word, Excel, PowerPoint or Access. Scroll down in your Navigation pane and open up the Customers Order Form and then switch to Layout View on the Form Layout tools, Design Ribbon on the far left there's a Theme button, click on it and a dropdown appears with several themes.
Right now, we are on Apothecary, hold your cursor over each one and you can see the colors and the fonts change in the Form. Notice the theme names that pop up when I hold my cursor over each one, these are the same in all of the Microsoft Office Applications as well. We'll change ours to Angles. Now here is something very important to note. Switch over to the Form Layout tools>Format ribbon, click on your CustomerID field and then go up to the Font button up on the left, drop down the little arrow.
When I pull down this Color list notice that there's two sections, the top says Theme Colors, and the bottom says Standard Colors, below that, once you've started using colors, you'll also see Recent Colors. What most people don't realize is that there really is a difference between the two sections. Notice that the Theme Colors are coordinated and graded from light to dark, the Standard Colors vary between Office's modern color scheme and the traditional rainbow. You should pick from the top group of colors when you do want the colors to change when you switch themes.
If you want your color to stay the same even if you change the color scheme choose from the Standard Block below. For example, I'll change my CustomerID field to this orange right here. Now I'll go back to the Design tab and pull down the Themes button again. Notice that if I were to switch themes, the font color would change as well but if I go back to format and change the color to one of the ones down here, when I go back to the Design Ribbon and back to Themes, that color is going to stay exactly the same.
Now each theme is made up of a Color set and a Font set, you can mix and match them by using these two buttons on the right. You can change the Color scheme without affecting the Fonts, or you can change the Fonts without affecting the Colors. You can also use these buttons to modify the schemes. For example, if I'd like to create my own Color set to use across my entire Database, I can come down to the bottom and click on Create New Theme Colors. Let's change the Background from white to a very light green, I'll drop down this option and I'll change it to this green right here.
At the bottom, I can name my new Color set; I'll call this TwoTrees and click Save. Now I have a new background. Now, if you don't like the changes that you've made, you can come back up to the Colors button, right-click on your new Color scheme and go into Edit. I can drop down that same button, change the color there or make any other changes that I would like. I'll make my changes and press Save.
You can do the exact same things to your Font set. I'll click on Fonts, and go down to Create New Theme Fonts. Here you have two options, one for the Heading font and one for the Body font. You can pick any two that you'd like. Give it a new name and click Save. When you create your own Color Schemes and Font Sets, they'll be available to you in all the other Microsoft Office programs on your computer as well.
Using the built-in Themes or designing your own gives you a quick way to apply fonts and colors across all of your documents, adding consistency to their appearance.

Mitt Romney, former Governor of Massachusetts and frontrunner in the race for the Republican presidential nominee, has won the primary in New Hampshire garnering close to 40 per cent of the vote and a second straight victory after the Iowa caucus last week.
While New Hampshire was widely expected to be one of the easier states for Mr. Romney to capture, all eyes are now on the next primary in South Carolina on January 21, a far more conservative state where the Romney campaign machine may have a harder time convincing voters. Success there may well give him an unassailable lead, said observers.
Libertarian candidate Ron Paul also performed consistent with expectations, and won close to 23 per cent of the vote. Mr. Paul is the only other current candidate who has the national-level campaign infrastructure and finance on a scale similar to Mr. Romney. His supporter base, comprising numerous younger voters, has also acquired the reputation of being a loyal voting bloc that returns consistent polling figures across elections.
In third place was Jon Huntsman, former Governor of Utah and President Barack Obama's former Ambassador to China. He cornered close to 17 per cent of the vote on the back of more than six months of intense campaigning.
Mr. Huntsman, whose adoption of Chinese and Indian girls was recently attacked by a Paul-linked campaign group, said the third-place result gave him a "ticket to ride" to South Carolina and he would not be dropping out.
As Mr. Romney's lead in New Hampshire became evident, he told supporters on Tuesday night, "Tonight we celebrate. Tomorrow we go back to work." While he admitted that winning South Carolina would be an "uphill battle," he also trained his guns on rival and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and also Mr. Obama.
Mr. Romney said, "We expected President Obama to put free enterprise on trial. We were a little surprised to see it coming from Speaker Gingrich." He was referring to attacks by Mr. Gingrich and others on Mr. Romney's record at private equity firm Bain Capital, where he allegedly laid off numerous workers in companies that his firm bought over.
Governor of Texas Rick Perry, who performed poorly in New Hampshire winning less than one per cent of the vote, similarly accused Mr. Romney of "vulture capitalism" that led to job losses in economically distressed South Carolina. Mr. Romney has also become the prime target of Rick Santorum, former U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania, who is one of the most conservative candidates and may be on track for a good showing in South Carolina.

An under-construction swimming pool at the Kalina campus of the University of Mumbai is a breeding ground for mosquitoes, says the civic body.
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has issued a notice to the university after it found that the water in the pool was stagnant.
"Our team regularly carries out inspection. It was observed that the water at the under-construction swimming pool may lead to breeding of mosquitoes," said a senior civic official, adding that a notice has been issued to the maintenance department of the university.
"We have issued the notice under Section 381 of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act, asking them to make the swimming pool dry or close it," said Rajan Naringrekar, insecticide officer of the BMC.
He added that the university has been given seven days time to comply with the notice.
"We will wait for seven days and will check whether they have taken any preventive measure. If the university fails to comply with the notice, we will initiate prosecution against them," said Naringrekar.
Pro vice-chancellor Naresh Chandra confirmed the development. "We have received the notice a week ago and we would comply with it," Chandra said.
When asked about the measures the university would take, Chandra said, "The pool is almost ready. The water is not stagnant and it is being used for gardening."
Interestingly, the Department of Physical Education, under which the sports complex and pool comes, is headless for over a year.
Head of the department Bapu Chaugule and another senior professor were suspended last year over alleged sexual harassment charges.
The work on the sport complex was started in 2007 and it was stalled many times due to alleged corruption.
"The university has allocated Rs9 crore for the work. Till now, Rs6crore has been spent and the students haven't got any facilities. We have complained to the vice-chancellor many times but nothing has happened so far," said a senator and MNVS member Sudhakar Tambli.
Interestingly, the university website claims that the sports complex has all amenities.

During a regular inspection, the BMC employees found that water in the under-construction swimming pool at University of Mumbai's Kalina campus was stagnant. The civic body has sent a notice to the maintenance department of the university, asking it to take action within seven days.

In Philosophy of Law, Andrei Marmor provides a comprehensive analysis of contemporary debates about the fundamental nature of law—an issue that has been at the heart of legal philosophy for centuries. What the law is seems to be a matter of fact, but this fact has normative significance: it tells people what they ought to do. Marmor argues that the myriad questions raised by the factual and normative features of law actually depend on the possibility of reduction—whether the legal domain can be explained in terms of something else, more foundational in nature.
In addition to exploring the major issues in contemporary legal thought, Philosophy of Law provides a critical analysis of the people and ideas that have dominated the field in past centuries. It will be essential reading for anyone curious about the nature of law.

Browns confirm Winslow had staph
Calling Kellen Winslow's critical comments a distraction, Browns coach Romeo Crennel confirmed the tight end was hospitalized for a staph infection. Crennel added he may discipline the emotional Pro Bowler for his conduct following Sunday's loss to the Washington Redskins.
Winslow spent three nights at the Cleveland Clinic for an illness that he did not disclose until Sunday. He said he didn't reveal he had staph because the team, which has had an alarming number of staph cases in recent years, "didn't want it to get out." Winslow said he came forward to protect his teammates.
Crennel, though, felt Winslow's postgame remarks were inappropriate.
"It's a distraction for the organization and for Kellen," Crennel said at his Monday news conference. "He should've come to the organization first if he had a problem."
The Browns, who initially cited privacy laws and Winslow's wishes for keeping his illness a secret, have had at least six known cases of staph _ a bacterial infection that can cause different types of illnesses _ since 2005. Winslow got staph following knee surgery after a near-fatal motorcycle accident in '05. Wide receivers Braylon Edwards and Joe Jurevicius, as well as center LeCharles Bentley and safety Brian Russell, all contracted staph.
Winslow, who as recently as Friday said he didn't want his illness known, also criticized the Browns' handling of his situation and complained that general manager Phil Savage didn't check on him while he was in the hospital or wish him well when he returned.
In addition, Winslow said the Browns treat him "like a piece of meat" and that he considered asking Savage to trade him.
Crennel said he was disappointed by Winslow's decision to make his views public.
"Sometimes the emotions of the game and the emotions of your personal situation kind of overflow," Crennel said. "He probably said some things that he didn't need to talk about to the media. He should come to the organization and talk to the organization first and try to reach some kind of agreement."
Crennel has spoken with Winslow about his comments. The coach plans to consult with Savage and others before deciding whether to punish the 25-year-old tight end, who sat out the Oct. 13 upset win over the New York Giants and caught only two passes for 17 yards in Sunday's loss at Washington.
"We'll investigate it and determine if anything needs to be done," Crennel said. "My policy is to keep family business in the family. So whatever I do, I do and I'm not going to broadcast it."
Crennel was asked if Winslow showed any remorse about his actions.
"I didn't give him an opportunity to apologize," Crennel said.
Savage did not immediately return an e-mail seeking comment.
Winslow declined a chance to speak with reporters Monday.
Winslow's assertion that the Browns wanted to keep his illness undisclosed conflicts with the team's stance it was abiding by the player's preference to conceal his medical privacy. On Friday, Winslow was adamant about keeping his illness a secret, saying "because I play professional football and can catch a football, it doesn't mean I should let people into my personal business."

China's Shuanghui Buys Pork Giant Smithfield For $4.7 Billion
By editor
NPR's business news begins with a meaty Chinese investment in the U.S.
A Chinese meat producer plans to buy the U.S. meat company Smithfield for $4.7 billion dollars. Smithfield is the world's largest pork producers, and by some estimates, if this deal is approved by regulators, it would be the biggest takeover of a U.S. company by a Chinese company.
The Chinese meat producer is called Shuanghui. It's enticing Smithfield's shareholders by offering $34 a share. And that's about 30 percent more than Smithfield's current stock price. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Jay Leno Returns to 'The Tonight Show' Saying, 'It's Good to Be Home'
"I'm Jay Leno, your host ... at least for a while," he continued, alluding to the battle for the coveted NBC time slot with short-lived tenant Conan O'Brien.
"I've got to admit that I'm a little nervous," said Leno, "not because it's my first night back. Because I know that Dave and Oprah are watching."
Leno then went back to business as usual in the monologue, lampooning everything from the Olympics, Russians, Dick Cheney's heart problems, the Toyota recall and Tiger Woods. Leno then dramatically unveiled the new desk he'll sit at during his tenure as host.
Leno even mocked his return with an opening skit paying tribute to 'The Wizard of Oz.' Leno was featured being awakened by longtime sidekick Kevin Eubanks and former intern Ross Mathews as he murmured, "There's no place like home" with a cloth on his head.
"I did leave, I went away to the strangest place," Leno said. "Some of it wasn't so nice."
Betty White then brought him back to reality.
"Whoa, NBC really did cut your budget," White said. "I cannot believe you're doing your show from here."
It was all a bad dream Jay.

I think it's a bad dream that they brought him back.

With all due respect to Conan, I love that Leno is back at 11:30.
I tried watching a few Conan shows at 11:30 p.m and I just couldn't take much more than 5 minutes of his show. Sorry but I just didn't find Conan funny just as many of you don't find Leno funny.

Agree. Never could stand him, and that's not going to change.

Not as long as their targets have more than them, I guess.
I haven't read one single forum criticizing my next door neighbor, he REALLY sucks! LOL!
Get a life my good people.
- Tuesday 02 March
I think it is hilarious that so many people think they should decide for everyone what is good entertainment and what is not. Are you surprised that some people like Leno better than Conan? I guess it is a shock to you that some people like Ice Tea rather than Coffee or Vanilla Ice cream over Chocolate.
- Tuesday 02 MarchBy exualmet
I couldn't agree more. He's not funny, and he has a large head. I sincerely hope he fails..
- Tuesday 02 MarchBy shule
As bad as Leno is Conan is 10x's worse the only thing funny about Conan was his hair. The man had not talent, it was a tedious chore sitting though more than 2 minutes of his show. Another person who has no talent is Howard Stern with his prepubescent humor, if you have the maturity level of a 5th grader, like most new yorkers do you think he's funny. The only late nite tv host that is funny is Jimmy Kimmel, he should be doing late night, his Leno impersination was histerical.
- Tuesday 02 MarchBy rc
hey. here's what you're missing. nbc put leno back because conan was failing. it was a tough spot to be in, for sure. leno failing at 10 and conan failing afterward. nbc made the best possible choice for themselves, that's what corporations do. they were fortunate that leno would go along with them, otherwise both ships would have soon sank. the upside of this is that you don't have to watch letterman. see? it could always be worse!

We will not watch Leno again. He retired! We said goodbye and were looking forward to Coco. Then Leno wanted back and he got his way. No shame Leno?
- Tuesday 02 MarchBy King
Yee-ow, what a boring, unfunny show! Ouch! Someone stick a fork in Jay Yoko, he's done. The entire guest list the first two weeks looks bad too; I guess nobody who's anybody wants to be associated with Leno's shennanigans unless they were at the Olympics and feel they have to show up on NBC's Faux Tonight Show.
- Tuesday 02 March
Obvious, you don't think that Olympians deserve to be on Jay's show. Whether you like sports or not, they won medals not only for their glory but for the United States. Obvious, you don't like the United States either. Well, maybe in several months you might find the "red-headed kangaroo" doing his stupid antics once again on television but one thing he won't have is the reputation of Paar, Carson or Leno. The guy is a fool and NBC is stupid for ever taking Jay off the Tonight Show for Conon O'Brien. Conon needs to grow up. Maybe you do too.

I am glad things are back as they should be!!
Good luck to Conan!

I missed the show so much and am so glad Jay is back. I, too, felt Conan was way too silly. And if I never hear another hair joke from him, it will be too soon. And what was that with his always bowing to all of his guests?
Thank God Jay is back.

Brownback Decries EPA Carbon Emissions Rule
Associated Press - June 2, 2014 6:29 pm
Gov. Sam Brownback says he's working on proposals for changing how Kansas distributes aid to public schools and for bolstering the pension system for teachers and government workers.
Kansas Governor Sam Brownback says a new federal rule for cutting greenhouse gas emissions from power plants is a "war against middle America" that will increase energy costs.
The Republican governor criticized the rule Monday after the Environmental Protection Agency's administrator unveiled it in Washington. It gives states goals for reducing emissions but allows flexibility in meeting them.
According to the EPA, the Kansas target would be a 23 percent reduction in emissions by 2030 from 2012 levels.
The EPA unveiled the rule three days after Kansas gave the go-ahead for a new, $2.8 billion coal-fired power plant in southwest Kansas. Environmentalists said the plant would hinder Kansas' efforts to comply with the EPA rule.
Brownback defended the decision on the power plant, saying its construction develops clean coal technology.

You can feel free to comment all you like, but . you want to call out everyone else for, in your mind, slighting other players, you had better be prepared to be called out and asked to put your own opinions and rankings down for the rest of us to see and criticize, unless of course you cannot take the criticism you are so quick to dish out.
Lenglen did win the match narrowly, Wills even at only 20 was phenominally good, so good Lenglens father forbid her to play Wills at all. She was a nervous wreck, not that Wills wasn't since many people expected her to beat Lenglen. Lenglen was for the first time in her life disobeying her father, who didn't think she could even win, and went on to win in straight sets coming from behind in both...that to me says a lot about who, in terms of ability, the better player might have been.
Now if you want to say Lenglen had weak field...fine feel free, many of the people who were contemporaries of Lenglen were also contemporaries of Wills, which therefore means if Lenglen had weak fields, than Wills had them as well...and therefore that argument is a wash. However I take the line that both were so good that made everyone look pathetic.
I never said Lenglen was miles ahead of Moody, you inferred that by the fact that I put the peak ability of other all time greats above hers. I also openly said any of those 8 women could be argued as number 1 because they were all that good.
Moody took up Lenglens mantle and dominated just like Suzanne did. Moody from 1927-1933 was the number one player in the world just like Lenglen was from 1919-1925. Both were phenominal..and in my GOAT list I co rank them as Wills Achieved more but in my mind..skill wise..Lenglen was better by a margin in terms of her pure peak level of play
But as hoodjem said this thread is just pure peak level of play and that achievements do not matter..and that's why I put Lenglen on top.
