Since 1870, the city of New York has engaged in a project of building and maintaining enclosed sites for municipal bathing, including building floating `river baths' (1870 - 1942), indoor municipal baths (1901 - 1975), eleven enormous outdoor pools built with WPA funds (1936 - present), and outdoor pools of various sizes built under the Lindsay administration (1968 - present). This dissertation explores the changing rationale, over almost 150 years, for the municipal construction of public bathing places in New York City, and the ways in which the physical structures have taken on new social goals, meanings and ideals, both for patrons and for agents of municipal government over time. Each bathhouse and pool is a physical site that belongs to an infrastructural network, and is also bound up in its relationship to reigning ideas about what public space should encompass and for whom it should provide. Throughout, water has been attributed particular characteristics in order to mediate social life in public space, through programs of building, teaching and regulating. These are theorized in terms of public space and the public life that bring them together as a material, technological, symbolic whole. The municipal bathing project has resulted in corporeal publics over time, which produce public social life through the bodies of users, both real and ideal, through infrastructures that integrate materials, water, capital and political will. Contests over who belongs to the corporeal public and how it should be managed, based on race, gender and sexuality, class, and age, are mediated through shifting notions of hygiene and wellness in the urban setting. Research methods include archival research in New York City since 1870, including municipal records, other local archives, newspaper sources, and secondary histories; observation (and some participation) and interviews with the Harlem Honeys and Bears, an African-American senior citizen synchronized swim team; and comparative ethnography of outdoor pools in the summer, including extended participant observation at Kosciuszko Pool and McCarren Pool in Brooklyn, as well as interviews with Parks Department officials.
Background and problem statement:There is an unprecedented rise in diabetes in urban populations worldwide. A relationship between spatial concentration of other metabolic diseases and poor access to healthy foods in some underserved urban neighborhoods have been reported. Concurrently, a relationship between increased risk of developing diabetes and consumption of unhealthy foods and has been shown to exist. Neighborhood food contexts hypothesized to lead to developing diabetes need to be studied. Study goals:: The main hypothesis of this study is that the degree of access to food outlets near residences influences the outcome of diabetes. Covariates include individual-level variables of age and gender of the subjects, and neighborhood-level variables of educational attainment, percent of residents in poverty, of housing units without vehicles, and of female-headed households with children. Methods:Address, demographic, and health data extracted from medical records of black visitors to hospital emergency department were linked to geo-referenced socio-economic and food outlet data for the visitors' Census Tract (CT) of residence. Hierarchical linear modeling was used to consider the effect of variation in food and socio-economic environments on diabetes among the subjects. A cross-sectional study was designed and a multilevel logistic regression analysis was performed. Results: Spatial access to food outlets was not a significant predictor of diabetes in this study. However, subjects living in the socio-economically deprived neighborhoods had a higher probability of having diabetes. For every unit decrease in the neighborhood's socio-economic index constructed from the census variables, the subjects were 7 percent more likely to have diabetes (CI 1.03-1.12, p-value 0.0024). Female gender and older age were strongly associated with odds of having diabetes. Conclusions: Socio-economic context of neighborhood was shown to affect probability of having diabetes, while local food outlet access did not. The results indicate that there may be a critical difference between economic and spatial access to foods and the actual choices individuals make about their diets. These choices may be driven by individual cultural and social preferences. More research is needed to study these individual biosocial factors and to analyze how they affect diet and diabetes outcome.
This is an ethnographic study of macro-structural change from the vantage point of everyday life on a few blocks of a single street in the Hell's Kitchen/Clinton neighborhood of New York City. The study tells stories from daily life on several blocks of West Forty-Sixth Street between Eighth Avenue and the Hudson River as documented over three years of close observation. These stories show how the actions of some residents serve to lubricate outcomes like privatization, rising housing costs, discriminatory policing, displacement, and eviction. These outcomes then negatively affect others who have less power--particularly undocumented migrants, the elderly, the poor, and people of color. This finding is complicated by the fact that people here are not acting malevolently, but more often than not out of well-intentioned common sense ideas about community, quality of life, and progress. What this means, I contend, is that processes like gentrification, neoliberalization, and inequitable urban development are not simply imposed from outside by macro forces such as real estate capital or top-down urban policy. I argue that these processes are also deeply contingent on everyday life--on the daily actions, ideas, and subjectivities of ordinary people in places such as West Forty-Sixth--which act as a kind of social infrastructure. This situation presents a mash-up of spatial, political, and structural questions about hegemony and power that span the intimate and the global in scope while complicating existing understandings of urban space and everyday life.
From Public Market to La Marqueta: Shaping Spaces and Subjects of Food Distribution in New York City, 1930 to 2012 by Anne Babette Audant Advisor: Setha M. Low Public markets are definitive parts of the urban landscape. Policies shaping municipal food provisioning, including public markets, produce and reproduce differentiated subjects and unevenly developed spaces. Social science has not paid sustained attention to public food markets; this research contributes to a fragmented and multi-perspective body of work that demonstrates the many ways in which markets intersect with urban processes. I look at the geographic distribution of food in and through New York City's public markets from 1930 to the present by mapping intersections of politics, citizens, consumers, social class, gender, ethnicity, race, government, capital, and the retailing landscape. Tracing these processes over more than a century, this study demonstrates that food distribution is a dynamic and highly contested aspect of urban life, underscoring a deep if sometimes under-articulated recognition of the work done by the flow of food through city streets. Focused on New York City's public markets, particularly the enclosed retail markets built in the late 1930s and early 1940s to contain New York City's pushcarts and street peddlers, this study explores how the immigrant working classes became the objects of municipal food policy. Food habits became a means through which to Americanize - and civilize - the masses. Along with their bodies, their food landscapes became the targets of state intervention. Working class neighborhoods were - and are - vulnerable to state interventions that too often further alienate already disempowered populations. Food policy has the potential to advance social justice. In New York City, we are witnessing the emergence of a new municipal food policy, which, if implemented, will be the first comprehensive policy to be proposed since the Progressive Era. Aimed at reducing inequities and improving public health, and integrated with broad goals of environmental and economic sustainability, the proposals on the table point in promising directions.
The role that topography has played in the development of New York City is essential to understanding its present urban form and foreseeing its changes. Geographers and economists have generally agreed that for cities in the United States, socioeconomic status increases with land elevation. This seemingly simple relationship between elevation and class, however, is complicated by factors such as technological innovations, economic shifts, politics, cultural perceptions, and the idiosyncrasies of cities and the neighborhoods within them. The lack of comprehensive research in this area coupled with conflicting findings warranted further exploration into the complex and changing relationships between elevation and social class. This longitudinal study utilized a mixed methods GIS approach to reveal historical relationships between land elevation and socioeconomic status in New York City, and explain factors that may mediate these relationships. This study departed from the traditional use of regression results by mapping standardized residuals clusters, which were found to be an extremely efficient way of pinpointing anomalous areas that would be appropriate case study areas for in-depth, qualitative analysis. Relative elevation was found to be a better determinant of socioeconomic status than absolute elevation for three out of ten analysis years examined. The presence of urban fringe uses on high elevation land was affirmed. The persistence of historical settlement patterns was also affirmed, and it was found that this persistence was able to withstand technological, economic, cultural, and significant physical topography changes. Public policy, such as through the use of zoning tools and eminent domain, was the most influential force in the transformation of historical land use and settlement patterns. Climate change is poised to become another powerful force in the transformation of cities, and should be incorporated into future studies that examine the relationship between physical topography and residential or land use patterns.
Recently, casino gaming has emerged in the United States in a variety of new locations as a source of economic development. Despite this, in the United States there has been only a very limited amount of research that has examined gambling from a spatial perspective. An important concern identified in international gambling research is that of problem gambling. This project seeks to examine the potential impacts of casinos in the major metropolitan area of Philadelphia, which is currently the largest city in the United States with an open commercial casino. There are three additional casinos in the metropolitan region. In order to examine the decisions that led to the casino locations, interviews and media and policy analysis were conducted. To ascertain the vulnerability to problem gaming of the neighborhoods where casinos are located in the metropolitan area of Philadelphia, a GIS vulnerability model was created. The model combines an index of socioeconomic disadvantage and a gravity model in order to examine the accessibility to the casino of those most vulnerable to problem gaming. For validation, the model is rerun for the two casinos of metropolitan Pittsburgh. The GIS results show that three out of the four casinos in metropolitan Philadelphia are located in areas where people are vulnerable to problem gaming. Through the interviews and media analysis, it is revealed that a variety of stakeholders were involved in the casino location process, and some effects of the casinos, both good and bad, have been observed so far. These findings demonstrate a need for public policy to mitigate the potential impacts of problem gaming on the community. The GIS model created for this project is the first vulnerability study of a major urban area in the United States. It has the potential to be used in developing guidelines and regulations for new casinos as they are introduced throughout the United States as well as to contribute to international gambling research. Additionally, the model may be modified to examine the impact of others forms of consumption based economic development both domestically and abroad.
The process of suburbanization blurs regional bounds, forms mega-regions and fosters the expansion of multifaceted environmental problems, such as the urban heat island (UHI) effect. Defined by differences in air- and surface- temperature between rural and urban areas, UHI is the result of the characteristics of urbanization which modify the land surface condition, urban geometry, thermal properties of construction materials, anthropogenic heat and air pollution, which increase storage and re-radiation of heat to the atmosphere. Climate change is predicted to worsen the UHI effect. Hence, the objective of this research to characterize the UHI effect as it pertains to suburban and exurban development patterns, which are neither low-density rural nor high-density urban, yet the dominant landscape pattern in America's mega-regions. Using multi-resolution remote sensing data, this dissertation describes the geography of the surface urban heat island (SUHI) effect across the New York Metropolitan Region's urban-rural continuum and the influence of residential minimum lot size zoning regulations on the Normalized Differential Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Brightness Temperature. The study area for this research endeavor is Somerset County, New Jersey. An inverse relationship exists between NDVI and Brightness Temperature, where increases in vegetation and tax lot size reduce Brightness Temperature; and therefore UHI Intensity. However, utilization of a cumulative metric, such as net thermal flux by tax lot, is critical to illuminate the role that suburbanization has on the expansion of regional environmental problems. The Landsat ETM imagery combined with tax lot data provide an efficient and effective method for assessing the cumulative impact of suburban development in the study area and evaluating mitigation techniques to lower urban heat, save energy and facilitate reintroduction of natural elements into urban environments.
Debates over food security strategies in the Philippines have pitted the neoliberal paradigm of trade liberalization, export cropping, and chemical and biotech agricultural methods against the food sovereignty paradigm of protectionism, staple cropping, and sustainable agriculture methods. The Philippine government has long pushed for yield increases of staples. However, there has been dissonance between governmental desires for rice self-sufficiency and pursuit of a more export-oriented agricultural economy. The World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the Asian Development Bank, and the World Trade Organization have pressured the government of the Philippines to adopt various tenets of neoliberalism (trade liberalization, privatization, deregulation, and budgetary austerity), which have hindered the achievement of Philippine goals for self-sufficiency in its staple foods and stunted the potential benefits of land reform. Through ethnographic research of the social and ecological conditions in three rural villages in the province of Bukidnon, this examination of agrarian change explores how various actors--small farmers, collectives, large planters, and agribusiness corporations--have been scaling their projects in the agricultural economy. The use of chemical inputs has damaged soils and saddled farmers with debts. In many cases, control of land has been lost to elites through sales or pawning arrangements. Relatively egalitarian corn- and rice-farming areas have given way to a stratified landscape of sugarcane and banana plantations, as former smallholders have been forced to work as wage laborers. Multinational agribusinesses have steered the area away from staple production and threatened human and environmental health with pesticide exposure and erosion. Some farmers though have organized against these prevailing trends. Production and social reproduction have been rescaled through collective marketing, reciprocal labor arrangements, and more equitably gendered divisions of labor. Agroecological methods, such as composting, organic fertilization, seed saving, and indigenous pest control have scaled the reproduction of environmental conditions more locally and increased farmer incomes because their inputs are created on the farm. Protecting local control of the means of production--seeds, fertilizers, and especially land--has become an important method for preserving a smallholder class, maintaining more self-determination, and working toward greater food sovereignty.
The objective of this study is to develop a robust and sustainable energy (electricity) path for Long Island. Waste water management and solid municipal waste have been incorporated into a MARKAL energy-planning model for the short through long term (50 years) planning horizons. In addition, an analysis of the impacts on the local scale, of a carbon tax has been carried out. By examining the Long Island MARKAL the nexus of sustainability and environmental justice is elucidated. Suggestions for examining, testing, and improving sustainability plans are also provided.
The major research goal is to explain the causes of urban Jewish migration from the West Bronx to Riverdale and determine how it impacted their racial identity. I ask the following questions: Why did Jews leave the West Bronx? Why did they move to Riverdale? How did moving between these places affect the racial identity of Jews? Employing a relational understanding of race and space, I use a mixed method approach consisting of both qualitative and quantitative techniques to examine how the racial identity of Jews was affected by moving from the West Bronx to Riverdale. The primary methods employed in my study were participant observation, residential histories, and GIS. My study makes three primary theoretical contributions. First, my research shows that white identity or whiteness is fluid. As Jews moved from the West Bronx to Riverdale, their white identities changed. More specifically, their white identities changed in relation to material processes like neighborhood disinvestment and migration. These processes condensed into a historically and geographically specific articulation of white identity related to the conditions under which my participants moved from the West Bronx to Riverdale. In a second related contribution, my research shows that the connections scholars make between Jewish whiteness to suburbanization is largely an over generalization. Although the race of Jews was impacted by suburban migration, it was not the only way in which they negotiated the racialization process. Further, contrary to the notion that Jews assimilated into static racialized places, they profoundly changed the places they moved into. As their identities changed, so did the meaning of the places they inhabited. Third, my research opens up possibilities for reimagining narratives of white flight and racialized interpretations of neighborhood change. Often, white flight movers are made legible through rational choice theory. My research challenges the logic of white flight, showing that my participants didn't move to the suburbs because they wanted to continue urban Jewish living.

JAY PARIS COMMENTARY: Chargers show more than just a passing glance
If you were hanging with the Chargers early this season, then it was clear you saw half of a team.
While everyone watched Rivers and compared him to Dan Fouts, folks were doing the same about the current defense and the ones that cost Fouts' teams a Super Bowl appearance.
The Chargers' offense was clicking; the defense was barely ticking. Three-time Pro Bowl tackle Jamal Williams was lost for the season and that left the inexperienced Ogemdi Nwagbuo manning the middle of the line.
But the Chargers brought in big bodies Travis Johnson and Ian Scott.
Coordinator Ron Rivera moved the secondary pieces around by cutting Clinton Hart, starting rookie safety Kevin Ellison and sliding Steve Gregory into the nickel spot.
"The offense started off real well and we tried to pay catch-up,'' said Stephen Cooper, after a game-high 10 tackles. "I think now we found our knack and Rivera did a great job of play-calling and pressuring the quarterback. If we do that, we will be the defense of the old.''
And trips up the tunnel will again seem like old times.

Four great San Diego teams you can root for without heartbreak
Contact Karla:
RSS feed | Twitter | Bio, archive
Here are a few things San Diegans know for sure. Mission Valley will flood in the winter. The grunion will run in the spring. And our professional sports teams will disappoint us in their usual ways.
So let's not waste another moment moaning about the Chargers' recent downturn or the Adrian Gonzalez departure we should have seen coming. It's time to expand our civic pride beyond the usual franchises.
From publishing cutting-edge comic books to creating killer burgers, San Diego is very good at a great many things. A world of champions and scrappy competitors awaits you, sports fans. All you have to do is think way outside the pro-ball box.
Literary lights
Whether they are graphic-novel gurus or masters of mayhem, members of the local literati are always a dependable source of bragging rights.
Want a star to boast about? Try Julian-based novelist Don Winslow, whose latest thriller, "Savages," was just made one of the "must-give" books on The New York Times' discerning holiday gift guide. And Oliver Stone is on tap to write and direct the film version of Winslow's speed-freak novel about an Orange County drug deal gone bad.
Need a local institution you can rely on? That would be IDW Publishing. The San Diego company's growing list of graphic novels and comic books includes the rabidly popular new series inspired by HBO's "True Blood," along with the darkly inventive "Kill Shakespeare," which was also a New York Times pick for the holidays.
And if you need something to look forward to in 2011 besides Adrian Gonzalez-related depression, Fallbrook's T. Jefferson Parker's latest, "The Border Lords," comes out Jan. 11. The crime novel marks the return of deputy sheriff Charlie Hood, who will be taking on Baja drug cartels.
Aztecs basketball
When one home-team door closes, another one opens. And this one is painted red and black.
While too many of us weren't paying attention, the men of the San Diego State Aztecs basketball team have been making us proud. The team now has a historic 9-0 record on the books and a thrilling win over the U.C. Berkeley champs to savor. The Aztecs take on USD's 1-7 Toreros today, so whether you're rooting for the up-and-comers or the underdogs, at least San Diego can't lose.
Aztec football isn't too shabby, either. The SDSU team made it to the Dec. 23 Poinsettia Bowl, which is the school's first bowl appearance in 12 years.
Amazing racers
Thanks to our population of photogenic thrillseekers, San Diego is one of reality television's deeper casting pools. But if you're in the market for a sure thing, become a fan of "The Amazing Race," where the group of stressed-out globe-trotting contestants almost always includes at least one intrepid San Diegan.
This season, our telegenic airport-sprinter is home-shopping TV host Brook Roberts, who will be competing for the $1 million prize in Sunday's season finale, which airs at 8 p.m. on KFMB/Channel 8.
If Roberts and her Reno-based teammate Claire Champlin cross the finish line first, they will be the first all-female team to win it all. Roberts would also be following in the golden footsteps of San Diego's Meghan Rickey and Cheyne Whitney, who won the big prize in 2009. If she doesn't win, she will carry on our "Race"-ing tradition of brave also-rans, which includes former Encinitas resident Steve Smith and his daughter Allie, Amanda Blackledge and Kris Klicka, and Comic-Con buddies Mark Yturralde and Bill Hahler

Anthemis tinctoria L. (basionym)
Cota tinctoria (golden marguerite, yellow chamomile, oxeye chamomile), syn. Anthemis tinctoria, is a species of perennial flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. Other common names include "dyer's chamomile", "Boston daisy", "Paris daisy". In horticulture this plant is still widely referred to by its synonym Anthemis tinctoria.[2]
It is a short-lived plant often treated as biennial, occurring in the Mediterranean and Western Asia. It has aromatic, bright green, feathery foliage. The serrate leaves are bi-pinnatifid (= finely divided) and downy beneath. It grows to a height of 60 cm.
It has yellow daisy-like terminal flowers on long thin angular stems, blooming in profusion during the summer.
It has no culinary or commercial uses and only limited medicinal uses. However, it produces excellent yellow, buff and golden-orange dyes, used in the past for fabrics.
Cota tinctoria is grown in gardens for its bright attractive flowers and fine lacy foliage; there is a white flowering form also but the most commonly grown form is the seed raised cultivar 'Kelwayi' which has 5 cm wide, yellow flowers on 65 cm plants. The asexually propagated cultivar 'E.C. Buxton' is a hybrid between this species and another Anthemis species.

The Pirates entered the night 53-0 when leading a game after seven innings. That's how good the back end of the bullpen has been (plus some luck, since the few times the 'pen blew a lead the offense managed to bail them out).
All good things must come to an end, unfortunately, and that's what happened on Tuesday. The Pirates were poised to win their third in a row in exciting, comeback fashion…and then it all went down the drain when the bullpen had an uncharacteristically brutal night.
Jeff Karstens was hit pretty hard early on (including a liner off his backside in the first inning) but managed to satisfy the bare minimum requirements for a quality start. He didn't walk anyone and struck out four, which helped consolidate his eight hits allowed (including two doubles and a homer) into three runs over six innings. Good job by Jeff to keep the Bucs in the game when he wasn't having one of his best nights.
Meanwhile, plenty of Pirates were reaching base in the early innings, but the Bucs didn't capitalize as much as they should've. They got big days from the top of the order (two hits each from Andrew McCutchen and Starling Marte, plus three from Travis Snider) but everyone else combined for only two total (doubles by Clint Barmes and Michael McKenry). McCutchen drove in runs in the first and third to match Arizona's runs in the top half of those innings, but the Snakes went back on top in the fourth and the Bucs missed a few chances to tie.
Still, it felt like they were on the verge of breaking through, and they did just that in the seventh. Marte led off with a remarkably impressive blast to center for his first homer at PNC Park, tying the game. Snider and Cutch then followed with hits, and Neil Walker poked a sac fly to score Snider and put the Bucs on top. Jason Grilli warmed in the bullpen, and it seemed like the Pirates were in good shape.
Not so much. Grilli, who has been dynamite all season, just had a miserable night. All four batters he faced got hits, and the fourth was a three-run homer to put Arizona ahead. Jared Hughes had a messy ninth as well, allowing three more. Chris Johnson (formerly of the Astros) homered in both innings.
Nothing's automatic. The Pirates' bullpen has been overdue for a little regression. Every team loses games like this in gut-punch fashion, and the Bucs have been fortunate to avoid them up until this point. They're terrible, but they happen. Unless Grilli has suddenly lost everything that made him a strikeout machine up to this point in the season, this is just an unfortunate blip on the screen.
In better news, the Reds, Braves, and Cardinals all lost…so the Bucs didn't lose any ground in the division or wild card races.
DBacks 10, Pirates 4 / Box / 2012 Record: 62-47 / Next: Wednesday, vs. DBacks, 7:05
MVP: McCutchen (+.298) / LVP: Grilli (-.705) / Key play: Johnson's HR

14.80.110 Snow and Ice Removal
Every owner or occupant of any house or other building, or the owner or proprietor, lessee, or
person entitled to the possession of any vacant lot, and any person having charge of any church, jail, or public hall, or public building in the city shall, during the winter season and during the time snow shall continue on the ground, before 9:00 a.m. the morning subsequent to the cessation of any snow storm, clear the sidewalks in front of such lots from snow and ice and keep such sidewalks free from snow and ice during the day; provided, however, all owners or occupants of any properties within the area bounded by 7th Street on the west and 17th Street on the east and "K" Street on the south and "R" Street on the north shall before 9:00 a.m. every morning, clear the sidewalks in front of such lots from snow and ice and keep such sidewalks free from snow and ice throughout the day, or in case the snow and ice are so congealed that they cannot be removed without injury to the sidewalk, shall apply sand or approved de-icing agent in sufficient quantities to cause said walk to be safe for pedestrian traffic. Said owner shall also at all times keep such sidewalks clear and free from all dirt or filth, or other obstructions or encroachments so as to allow pedestrians to use said sidewalks with safety. Failure on the part of any person upon whom a duty is placed by the provisions of this section to perform such duty shall be deemed a misdemeanor and punishable as in this code provided.
In case of non-compliance with the provisions of this section, the Sidewalk Inspector may have the walks cleaned and report the cost thereof to the City Council who shall assess the cost thereof against the abutting real estate in the following manner:
The Sidewalk Inspector shall place a written notice on the front door or other conspicuous place on the property ordering the sidewalks along the same or any portion thereof to be cleared immediately and providing a deadline to complete the same of not less than twelve hours after posting the same. The Sidewalk Inspector shall, not later than May 1 of each year, report to the City Council the location of the sidewalks from which snow and ice has been removed after the required notice, together with the description of the real estate abutting upon such sidewalk, and the cost of the removal of such snow and ice. Whereupon the City Council shall at a regular council meeting, by resolution, assess such cost against such real estate; provided, that notice of the time of such meeting of the City Council for making such assessment and the purpose of such meeting shall be published once in a newspaper published and of general circulation in the city at least five days before said meeting of the council is held; in lieu thereof, notice may be given such owner by personal service thereof five days before such meeting. Such assessment when assessed as provided herein shall be certified by the City Clerk and delivered to the City Treasurer on or before October 1 and shall be collected in the manner provided by law for the collection of general real estate taxes. Such assessment shall be a lien upon such real estate as of October 1 following the date of assessment and shall become delinquent December 1 after the date of assessment, and shall draw interest at the rate of one percent per month from said date until paid. It shall be the duty of the City Treasurer to collect said tax in the same manner and at the same time as general taxes, and the items of said tax shall be receipted for on the same receipt blank as general real estate taxes. (Ord. 18295 §1; January 26, 2004: P.C. §14.80. 140: Ord. 15117 §9; March 6, 1989: Ord. 13391 §7; June 1, 1982: Ord. 3489 §39-113, as amended by Ord. 3644; April 24, 1939).
Annot.: Where the provisions of an ordinance impose upon property owners the performance of a part of the duty of the municipality to the public and are for the benefit of the municipality as an organized government, a breach of such ordinance is remedial only at the insistence of the municipality and no right of action accrues to an individual citizen especially injured thereby. Stump v. Stransky, 168 Neb. 414, 95 N.W.2d 691 (1959). Requirement of notice contained in Article VIII, Section 19 of the Charter of the City of Lincoln and in Section 15-734 R.R.S. 1945 is a condition precedent to the operative effect of the duty of an owner of property under this ordinance.

Worker-level data from the 1984–2000 Displaced Worker Surveys are employed to examine the effects of trade on manufacturing workers' probabilities of job displacement. Observed changes in import and export penetration rates yield increases in displacement probabilities for the North Central, Middle Atlantic and South Central regions yet lower displacement probabilities for the Plains/West and Pacific regions. Changes in import and export price indexes lead to increases in displacement probabilities for the Pacific, Southeast and Northeast regions and decreases for the South Central and Middle Atlantic regions. However, while the influences of imports and exports on job displacement vary considerably across states and regions, the estimated net effect of trade on displacement probabilities is minor, generally speaking, when compared to the combined influence of other factors.

I bought these to protect my eyes when trail riding because I needed clear frames; it is too dark to ride with sunglasses in the woods, especially at dawn or dusk.

San Onofre breakdown: Boxer wants Justice Department investigation
Edison is seeking authorization to restart one of San Onofre's Unit 2 reactor at limited power to dampen damaging vibrations among generator tubes.
Several hurdles stand in Edison's way, including two investigations within the nuclear commission into whether Edison provided accurate and complete information to regulators, and another at the state utilities commission into who pays for the outage — utility customers or investors..
Boxer said the Edison letters speak to the need to complete all investigations before a restart, and for public hearings — seizing on Edison's own concerns in 2004.
"I am concerned that there is the potential that design flaws could be inadvertently introduced into the steam generator design that will lead to unacceptable consequences," wrote Nunn, describing tube wear and plugging that has come to pass. "This would be a disastrous outcome for both of us and a result each of our companies desires to avoid."
Boxer and committee staff said they obtained the correspondence from an undisclosed source after the NRC was unresponsive to requests for correspondence between Edison and Mitsubishi.
Edison said the letters were provided to the nuclear commission in April.

May 22, 2015
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Los Angeles police said Friday a key witness in a burglary case who vanished while walking his dog has been found.
A police statement said 22-year-old Darwin Vela was located in the LAPD's Pacific Division. Investigators were trying to determine what happened to him.
There was no immediate word on his condition.
Vela was supposed to be in court on Thursday to testify at a preliminary hearing for a man charged with burglarizing the home of the ex-girlfriend of actor Nicolas Cage.
Vela vanished Tuesday while walking his dog. His fiancé said the dog later returned home with blood on its leash.

12 Countries Report Narcolepsy Link To Swine Flu Vaccine
The World Health Organization (WHO) said on Tuesday that twelve countries have reported suspected cases of narcolepsy linked to swine flu vaccinations.
The WHO said in a statement that such sleep disorders had not been seen with vaccines in the past, and were more frequent in Sweden, Finland and Iceland than in other countries.
However, spokeswoman Alison Brunier said that the U.N. health agency decided to keep its advice in favor of vaccination, including with the Pandemrix vaccine highlighted in the study.
Narcolepsy is a sleep disorder that causes extreme fatigue and often results in the patient falling soundly asleep without warning, even during activities.
According to WHO, the Pandemrix vaccine made by GlaxoSmithKline was used in 47 countries around the world during 2009 through 2010 and was included by the agency in donations made to poor nations during the flu pandemic.
Last week, the WHO Global Advisory Committee on Vaccine Safety (GACVS) reviewed data from a Finnish study, which found that children injected with the Pandemrix flu vaccine were nine times more likely to contract narcolepsy than those who were not vaccinated.
"The committee agrees that further investigation is warranted concerning narcolepsy and vaccination against influenza (H1N1) 2009 with Pandemrix and other pandemic H1N1 vaccines," the WHO said.
"An increased risk of narcolepsy has not been observed in association with the use of any vaccines whether against influenza or other diseases in the past," it added.
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) launched a probe into the suspected connection.
"Since August 2010, following widespread use of vaccines against influenza (H1N1) 2009, cases of narcolepsy, especially in children and adolescents, have been reported from at least 12 countries," the WHO added.
Brunier noted that the EMA had not taken any action.
"There's no change to the WHO's current position on use of pandemic influenza vaccines," she added.
"This means that countries should continue vaccinating against H1N1 to immunize persons at risk of severe disease, using monovalent vaccines including Pandemrix if there is no trivalent seasonal vaccine available," she added.
Monovalent vaccines target a single strain of flu while trivalent vaccines, more commonly used every flu season, are effective against three strains.
The preliminary study by Finland's National institute for Health and Welfare (THL) said the most likely explanation of the pattern found in four to 19 year olds was the "joint effect of the vaccine and some other factors."
It also stressed that more investigation was needed.
THL recommended last August of discontinuing its use against H1N1 until it could study the signs of a connection.

Get tips and recipes for cooking with sweet onions.
Delicately flavored sweet onions (Vidalia and Walla Walla) are best for cooking, especially in recipes that call for raw or caramelized onions.
Slicing into raw onions releases the sulfur that causes those stinging tears. Grown in low-sulfur soils, sweet onions contain considerably less sulfur than other onions, so they aren't tearjerkers. And they're also less likely to cause indigestion.
Thin-skinned sweet onions are more fragile than other varieties and need a little extra care to prevent bruising. They do best stored in the refrigerator, wrapped in paper towels to keep them dry. If you have part of an onion left over, tightly wrap cut onion in plastic wrap and refrigerated.

Rihanna, Issa light up London Fashion Week

LONDON (AP) — London Fashion Week moved into high international gear Saturday with a debut collection from Barbadian pop diva Rihanna, a Native American-inspired show by Brazilian-born Issa and a host of other eclectic offerings.
No one went to Rihanna's Saturday night debut as a fashion designer expecting demure dresses set off with tasteful pearls.
So no one was surprised by the double-volume hip-hop music, smoke machines and champagne that greeted guests at the unveiling of her Rihanna for River Island collection.
And few were taken aback by the bad girl, rock chick styling of some of her clothes, with tight-fitting jersey outfits and dresses cut to show more than a bit of leg.

It was a fun, flattering collection aimed at young women, containing nothing shocking or outrageous from a singer who has been known to bring those elements to her live performances.
She provided some pop star glamour to an already glittering London Fashion Week, which will soon showcase the work of Vivienne Westwood, Burberry's Christopher Bailey, and Tom Ford.
Rihanna followed Brazilian-born Daniela Issa Helayel (better known as Issa), John Rocha, Julien Macdonald and others to center stage on the second day of fashion week.
Much of the buzz Saturday was about Rihanna's first-even fashion collection. Many of her outfits had a simple, monochrome look — in off-reds, yellow, navy, black and other colors — and they were cut to look good on those blessed with a fit physique.

A traveler's soaring praise for San Diego, airport
Last week, my friend groaned as she picked me up at the San Diego International Airport, looping around the new construction at Terminal 2. Many San Diegans are complaining about the traffic, the lack of parking spaces, and the blare of jackhammers. But they don't realize just how blessed they really are.
Let me backtrack: I fly a lot. I've lived in cities on both coasts, and have spent the last five years in Europe. But my family lives in San Diego, and so I always have the perfect excuse to come back to America's Finest City. As a frequent flier, I know that where you land matters – it can validate and even vindicate all of the hassle (for me, often an 18-hour journey in coach). And let me tell you, it is uniquely lovely to arrive in San Diego.
As you approach Lindbergh Field, the plane glides over stunning mountain peaks, and then, right before landing, descends over (and seems to narrowly avoid clipping!) the skyscrapers of downtown. You're rarely delayed because of weather. You touch ground right next to the harbor, where you can see the USS Midway, a few cruise ships, and if you're lucky, a beautiful Pacific sunset. You walk out into a bright, open airport where the ground staff is friendly, greeting you with a "Welcome to America!" when you're coming from an international locale. And then you step out of the airport to see palm trees swaying – no – waving "hello" to you.
Compare this to landing in London Heathrow, which I do almost bimonthly. In the air, the plane is always shunted into what I call the "Heathrow Hell Hold" – Heathrow is perpetually overcrowded, and so the plane circles, sometimes for up to an hour. When you land, it is inevitably cloudy and windy, even when your British friends swear it was "almost sunny" just 10 minutes before you arrived. And when the plane pulls up to the gate, get ready to fight your way to immigration – a fight more life-or-death than if you were paddling a raft from Havana. My advice to Californians who will be flocking to Heathrow for the Olympics: Bring sneakers. Getting through Heathrow is an Olympic battle itself. I've stood in line for two hours to get through the snaking lines at Heathrow's passport control. But first, there is a 25-minute obstacle course through hallway after train after moving ramp after tunnel. And when I say 25 minutes, I mean 25 minutes running, pushing others out of the way, leaping up escalators, jamming the elevator doors shut. These are never my proudest moments.
British customs officers are innately mistrustful – Where am I coming from? Is that a blueberry in my muffin? Criminal! They never seem too happy to have me around, unlike Jimbo and Carlos from immigration in San Diego. When I finally emerge from the airport, it's never warmer than about 51 degrees, even in August. It's not paradise, unless you're on the hunt for some real good mildew.

UCLA flanker Ricky Marvray, the Bruins' leading receiver, and starting left offensive tackle Sean Sheller were suspended for Saturday's game with No. 15 Arizona for violating team rules, university officials said on Monday.
Marvray (photo) and Sheller are among four Bruin starters to be suspended this month for violating the UCLA athletic department's drug policy. Staring F back Morrell Presley and top kick returner Josh Smith were suspended for last Thursday's 60-13 loss at No. 1 Oregon after positive drug tests.
The suspensions have raised questions about discipline within the UCLA program and whether the the athletic department's drug policy is tough enough.
Under the UCLA policy athletes are only suspended from an athletic competition until after testing positive a third time during their college career.
Marvray is a red-shirt freshman, Presley is a sophomore and Smith has been on campus less than two years.
Here is a break down of the UCLA guidelines:
Summary of Drug Testing Protocol
First Positive Test Result
*Medical Director, Team Physician, Head Athletic Trainer, Associate Athletic Director responsible
for the drug-testing program and the Head Coach are notified of test results
*No other athletics department or team sanctions will be imposed as a result of the first positive test
*Mandatory counseling session with Student Psychological Services (SPS) therapist
* Participation in future testing
Second Positive Test Result
*Medical Director, Team Physician, Head Athletic Trainer, Head Coach, Associate Athletic Director

New Science-Based
Come, get the facts...
Immune Support
Is There a Cure for the Herpes Simplex Virus?
Despite whatever over-the-top claims you may have read on the internet, when it comes to a cure for herpes, none exists. To date, the US Center for Disease Control reports that there is no cure for any virus in the herpes family, which are responsible for cold sore blisters, shingles and genital herpes outbreaks. The virus resides in the body of the infected individual for life, whether it is "provoked" or not.
Good News About Oral and Genital Herpes Treatment
Though many individuals are understandably disappointed over the lack of a true cure, there is good news! While there is no cure, there is a new ground-breaking antiviral treatment for cold sores, shingles and genital herpes that represses and suppresses the virus into a state of dormancy. This is giving new hope to people who suffer from these viruses and are ecstatic over the new natural treatment, FENVIR™.
This 100% natural herpes remedy significantly increases the healing rate of herpes outbreaks. Additionally, it is also capable of creating an antiviral barrier that keeps the virus sealed and subdued, repressing current symptoms and future outbreaks. While traditional medications work to soothe and superficially treat breakouts on the surface of the skin, this new treatment that is the closest thing to a cure works to prevent HSV viruses from reawakening within the nerve root, where they reside. When taken daily, this treatment creates an antiviral wall around the cell body that traps the virus within, preventing it from escaping to the skin and expressing symptoms. The treatment also works to increase immune strength and therefore drastically reduces reactivation rates*.
Cold Sore Blisters, Shingles and Genital Herpes Sufferers Sing Praises
From lysine to typical herpes remedies and messy topical treatments, many products have been used in the past to combat the herpes viruses with limited results at best; when it comes to long-term prevention, all have been dismal failures. The current treatments on the market use old, generic, run-of-the-mill ingredients which are only capable of producing results with limited effectiveness. FENVIR™ is the only remedy currently on the market that has used recent credible research to formulate its remarkably effective oral and genital herpes treatment. This super-effective remedy is made from 15 scientifically-proven, naturally-crafted ingredients that have resulted in a 98% satisfaction rate among our customers, and a virtual zero return rate. It is the treatment HSV sufferers need most desperately and value most immensely!
Studies Prove Increased Healing Rate and Inhibitory Effects of FENVIR's Key Ingredient
The central component used in this new herpes remedy is Fucoidan (Tasmanian Undaria pinnatifida). Clinical studies of Fucoidan's potent effects against the herpes simplex virus can be found on the National Institute of Health's US National Library of Medicine
Is the main ingredient in FENVIR™ effective against various strains of oral and genital herpes?
Yes, according to The US National Institute of Health, Undaria pinnatifida, or Fucoidan, is "active against clinical strains of HSV-2 and HSV-1." The mode of action of the GFS was shown to be the inhibition of viral binding and entry into the host cell. In addition, this NIH published study confirms that the key ingredient in FENVIR™ has inhibitory effects on reactivation and is associated with increased rate of healing after Herpetic outbreaks. These two studies among several others corroborate what many have known for quite some time: treating herpes with the key ingredients in FENVIR™ is an effective way of treating HSV-1 (oral herpes) and HSV-2 (genital herpes).

Star Cottage is a 2-bedroom (sleeps 4) riverside holiday cottage in the village of Wroxham, in the heart of the Norfolk Broads. The cottage is close to the famous and iconic Wroxham Bridge and has the great benefit of being on the downstream side of the bridge where all the activity takes place! Star Cottage guests can relax in the lounge or on their private patio while watching the ever-changing scenery of wildlife and boating activities taking place on the river before them.
Guests may fish directly from the cottage lawns (in season only), and many other activities such as cycling, canoeing, walking and horse-riding are available very close by - as are a range of pubs, cafes, restaurants and local shopping in Wroxham village centre, which is only a short walk away. The cottage has it's own private parking but since Wroxham village has a railway station and excellent bus services, so you can easily holiday at Star Cottage without needing a car at all if required.
So, whether you are looking or an energetic holiday or a relaxing one, Star Cottage is the ideal location. And don't forget that Wroxham is within easy exploring distance of Norfolk coast, much beautiful countryside and quaint local villages – or even city-centre shopping in Norwich.
The cottage itself sleeps up to four guests in two comfortable bedrooms, one double and one twin. The whole property has been progressively re-decorated to a high standard by the current owners, ready for the 2014 season.
On the ground floor the cottage has an entrance hall with storage and cloakroom, with a large open-plan lounge, dining and kitchen area making-up the rest of the ground floor, with French doors leading out onto a private patio, complete with garden furniture.
Upstairs is a family bathroom including full-size bath with electric shower over. The main double bedroom has views across the river, and includes a dressing table, built-in wardrobe and room for a travel cot if required. The main bedroom also includes a television for those late-night movies!
The smaller twin bedroom also benefits from a built-in wardrobe, and linen and duvets for all beds is included, with beds made-up for your arrival.
Star Cottage may be booked for either full weeks or short breaks lasting 3 or 4 days. In either case a variety of start and end dates are available, subject to any existing bookings – if you have any non-standard requirements please get in touch and we will try very hard to accommodate your needs.

13% of Brits are 'casual hackers'
More than one in ten Brits have admitted to 'casual hacking' says CPP. Research by the life assistance company revealed that 13 percent of web users said they had accessed someone else's online account without their permission.
Social networks such as Facebook were the most popular target for this casual hacking, while personal and work emails, money transaction portals such as PayPal and online banking sites, had all also been accessed by these web users without the account holder's knowledge.
Of those that admitted to 'casual hacking', nearly a third (32 percent) said they did it 'just for fun' while 29 percent wanted to check-up on their other half and eight percent were keeping tabs on a work colleague. However, two percent admitted they did it for financial gain.

Good Coffee in Los Angeles
Mar 19, 2009
In the City of Angels, when the java jive has you in its spell, it's good to know who's making coffee with Italian cred.
Espresso hounds the world over are often dismayed by what most North Americans, raised on diner coffee and Starbucks, regard as a great cup of coffee. Seattle and San Francisco were the first US cities to get serious about the basics of quality coffee: premium beans, superior roasting techniques, state-of-the-art machines and expertly trained baristas. New York, more recently, has accumulated a handful of coffee shops on a par with the best of Italy and Australia. And now, finally, Los Angeles is stepping up. Intelligentsia cafe, in LA's hip Silver Lake neighbourhood, is heaven for espresso aficionados living on the city's East side. But if you're staying or doing business on the West side – in Santa Monica or near LAX – you'd have to be a true fanatic to brave an hour and a half in traffic. Here is a guide to ensure you find the best coffee in the City of Angels.
4360 Tujunga Avenue, Studio City.
+1 818 508 6505.
Caffe Luxxe
925 Montana Avenue, Santa Monica.
+1 310 394 2222.
Euro Caffe
9559 South Santa Monica Boulevard, Beverly Hills.
+1 310 274 9070.
3922 West Sunset Boulevard, Silver Lake.
+1 323 663 6173.
7605 Beverly Boulevard.
+1 323 954 0300.
Best of the rest
If you like your coffee strong, Kings Road Cafe won't disappoint. It's great for people-watching and the kind of high-quality eavesdropping opportunities that usually come with a much steeper price tag. (Think: "We can get Tom for thismovie.")
Lamill'sSilver Lake cafe is designed to within an inch of its life by someone with a penchant for the Palace of Versailles and snakeskin. The coffee and food aren't cheap, but they're very good. And next door is Yolk, one of the best stores in LA to find wares and toys made by local artists.
Groundwork'sstore on West 2nd Street is one of the few good espresso options in this part of LA. Groundwork founder Richard Karno was one of the first LA cafe owners to roast his own coffee. His company also supports fair-trade principles.
Urth Caffe is an LA institution. With a focus on organic produce, Urth has four locations around the city (the latest opened in Downtown last September). The West Hollywood branch is the best for people-watching.
Originally from Berkeley in northern California, Peet's Coffee& Tea has about 30 stores in Los Angeles County and nearby Orange County (the website provides an easy locator). By growing at a slower pace than some of its competitors, Peet's has managed to maintain quality.
Joan's On Third is a foodie's paradise, its gourmet offerings reflecting the cafe's origins – and ongoing business – as a catering company. In the middle of a row of boutique clothes shops on West 3rd Street, it's the perfect pit stop for shopping, eating and Angeleno-watching.
Fred Segal Mauro Cafe. You might need more than a shot ofespresso to recover from the kind of credit-card havoc this renowned LA fashion stop metes out daily. Fortunately, Fred Segal's in-house cafe/restaurant also has an extensive wine list. The patio area is excellent for spotting stars, botox and obscenely rich teens.

mscardig and GB, I came home from work and took some pictures just for you guys, before going to bed.
The headlight off switch and cigarette lighter are installed to the crossbar using different sizes of this little guy, a metal wire loom ($5 / multi pack).
The cig lighter is a regular automotive interior model from NAPA ($7), you have to buy one that has a removable chrome mounting bezel and which has both the positive and negative studs on the back of the element (some models look like this but have the negative stud on the mounting bezel). Pitch the bezel in the trash. Using a larger wire loom and the pictured smaller looom bolted together, you can secure the cig lighter to the crossbar. It is very sturdy and a strip of friction tape under it makes sure it doesn't rotate. It is waterproof with the included cap (not shown) on.
The switch is a SPST 15A throw ($4), not waterproof; doesn't need to be. It will eventually go bad, but is cheap and easily available. The mounting plate is a piece of some scrap I had in my nuts and bolts drawer. I used a SAE connector because I made a "jumper" out of another SAE connector that I can plug in if the switch does go bad, so I still have use of my headlight.
Buell blinkers ($15 ea), Enduro Engineering handguards ($50), Spiegler brake line ($70)
Unabiker radiator guards ($100). These are very sturdy, but required a bit of cajoling to get installed. I ended up having to shim the clutch side with nylon washers to get enough clearance around the radiator to mount the guards.
IMS footpegs ($50 used), very nice. I used to think wider footpegs couldn't possibly make a difference; how wrong I was.
Generic (maybe Acerbis, it says "made in Italy", but nothing else) taillight and subfender ($15), Buell blinkers. I like the sideways plate. Very KTM.

Have you ever kicked someone off your team midseason?
or do you prefer to just play them very little and not invite them back the next season? If you did kick someone off your team midseason- how did it turnout and did you later regret it?
No experience with that myself, but it has happened at my club. Usually people are pretty tolerant about losses, not being available to play, etc. as long as the person is somewhat reliable and/or nice. On the men's side, being a no-show for matches is the way to get booted - they don't care if you're a jerk as long as you show up to play when you are supposed to. On the women's side it's a lot more complicated and you'll hear of gossip/arguments between team members that just turn ugly and can result in someone getting booted or otherwise left out in the cold.
Hmmm. I can't think of a time when I have kicked someone off the team. It may have happened, but nothing is coming to mind. I think I would only do that for blatant lateness/no-show, failure to pay court fees, etc.
I have had at least one player leave by mutual agreement (meaning they stormed off in a huff and I didn't beg them to stay). The lady in question was difficult to play with. The walls were closing in on me as I tried many different partners and none worked out. Finally, I paired her with the single most delightful player on the team, and even that lady couldn't deal with her.
I tried to counsel the player and tell her to change some things about her on-court conduct, and she chose to leave instead.
I certainly will exercise the right to use someone less if they are creating problems of any sort. My ladies are awesome, so this hardly ever happens.
OT, but this reminded me of something I heard and I think it's pretty spot on --
Men are like waffle boxes -- they keep things compartmentalized and separate from each other; they keep work stuff separate from tennis stuff separate from family life separate from.... etc etc.
Women, on the other hand, are like plate of spaghetti --- anything effects everything as each is entangled and complexly woven together throughout.
Final straw was telling via email that he was not showing up for a match a couple hours before the match. The reason was not an emergency and a forseeable circumstance. He left me scrambling trying to find someone that late forcing me to spend time at work calling numerous people. I finally got someone to play- but he was a guy that hadn't signed up for the team so I had to sign him up and pay his registration fee. He never apologized and treated the whole thing as no big deal.
We have unofficially kicked someone off the team before midseason.
By unofficially I mean that we did not schedule that person for another match the entire season, include them on any team emails, and invite them back for the next season.
They got the message :)
I was once unofficially kicked off. Our captain wanted me to get a guy I knew who was way out of level to play for us. He could legitimately self rate. I asked the player and my captain got mad when I could not get a ringer to play. Oddly, that Captain asked me to come back again and approached my friend to play even though I respectfully declined. My friend was absolutely despises this captain. My ex-captain does not have the best reputation in the area.
Things happen that are unavoidable and that's understandable. We all find ourselves in a jam every now and then. It's called life. But when someone tells you they will be there, then you get an email telling you he's not coming, he needs to understand this: you are better without him.
This past spring, I had a weak 3.5 player go 1-5 in doubles. If he loses he always blames his partner. He is simply a weak player, who doesn't bring much to the team other than baggage. I was just going to not sent him a team invite, but another player who rarely plays due to his work sent him the team number. :(
I call the guy and tell him I expect him to show for practices. Practice One: The guy shows for one practice, plays one set, then tries to leave. I tell him that 11 guys showed up planning to hit three sets of doubles per my team email, including my singles players who like to practice in doubles since they play a lot of singles. He stayed for three sets although not happy. Last week he no-shows a practice leaving 11 guys on three courts, all of them expecting to play three sets of doubles each. He called me at 4 pm telling me he would be there. At 640pm, now ten minutes late, I call him to learn he's not coming. He simply say "I'm not going to make it tonight." I got a player from another team to hit with us by 7 PM. I was angry and told my team what was happening. He offered no excuse. I didn't need to hear one. But I did tell him if he knew at 6pm he wasn't going to make it, he should have called me at 601 PM. I didn't even give this guy this my team number. He got it from one of the other guys on the team who is rarely in town due to work.
He got the number joined the team, then no-shows me last Monday, then asked me to put him in the lineup for this week. I sent an email to the entire team including him with the lineup. Do you think he was on my lineup?
He will not be in my lineups until he calls me, or see me in person and addresses his no-show. If he plays for me this season, it will be on a court that I don't care if I win or lose, with another guy that my players don't enjoy hitting with as their partners.
I don't condone nor reward bad behavior. I do hold people accountable for their poor actions, not for their poor play. He brings nothing to my team but extra work. He brought this on himself. He is one the bottom 2 guys on my team. We don't need boat anchors or drag.
Just my take on your guy and my plan to get rid of two players that bring nothing positive to our team.
haha- are you looking for a team? I wouldn't kick you off. You have a good attitude:)
I usally go for the knee caps to ensure that they will never play tennis again,except in a wheel chair. The Men's 1.0 Renegade league is tough.

With nearly half of adult Americans telling surveyors that they've tried alternative medicine, it's about time to get down to some hard questions:
Does it work? Is it worth the money? Should complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) be reserved only for desperate souls for whom conventional medicine has run out of treatments? Or does it have a larger place?
This month we discuss complementary and alternative medicine, why they appeal to some people and whether they have proven benefits or harms.
