Lanesboro council approves vacating portion of Beacon Street
By Dr. Jan Meyer
Wednesday, October 03, 2012 6:05 AM
The Lanesboro City Council held a public hearing on Monday evening, Oct. 1, prior to its regularly-scheduled meeting. This was a time when "any members from the public can speak in regards to the petition by Rick and Cheryl Lamon for the vacation of a portion of Beacon Street."
Cheryl Lamon had appeared before the council at its September meeting with the request, the result of which would enable the Lamons to move a duplex from property they own in LeRoy to the Lanesboro site, which they also own.
Several neighbors spoke at the public meeting to clarify some issues including purpose and placement of the building. Because the area is zoned commercial, it can't be used for single-family residential housing, and Rick Lamon assured that its use will be rental, and could be either long- or short-term. He added that the size of the duplex is 28' x 48'; the two units are on the same floor and there will be storage and walk-out from the basement.
Lamon indicated that every effort will be made to ensure the external image of the building fits in as well as possible with the Historical District, because in future expansions of that district it is possible this building will be included.
Several Council members also had questions. Council member Tom Dybing asked City Streets Supervisor Andy Drake how it would affect snow removal. Drake said that he thinks "it will work" but he will check it out once the stakes showing proposed location for the building are in the final place.
City Attorney Tom Manion explained that one requirement for a vacation of property is that doing so would fit the public interest, such as economic or planned development. He said another concern would be if the project "happens as proposed," and if not, would it revert back to the City. After discussion, council member Ceil Allen summarized that it would appear to be a low risk if a clause were added that if it did not proceed as planned within a year from the vacating, it would revert back to the City.
After closing the public hearing, the council convened and quickly approved the vacation, with the restriction that, if not developed within one year of approval, ownership will return to the City, and also the addition of an easement for snow removal purposes.
Committee reports
Allen reported from the Library Board that representatives from the library will attend the next council meeting to give a report on its activities. She also said there will be a visiting author event at the library on Oct. 24.
Council member Joe O'Connor, speaking for Public Utilities Commission, said the commission had rescheduled its meeting for next Monday. In response to a question, he reported that the newly-installed water meters are working out well, and "some glitches" were still being worked out.
Julie Charlebois represented the Chamber of Commerce and reported that it was getting a team together to look over the city right-of-way ordinance in the downtown area and make suggestions for changes. The ordinance is intended to keep the sidewalks safe and not impeding foot traffic. The topic will appear on the November Council's meeting agenda to discuss changes.
She also said the chamber would like an update on the study of downtown traffic which was done in June. Mayor Steve Rahn responded that he would be discussing this again with Police Chief Matt Schultz.
City Administrator Bobbi Vickerman has discussed with MnDOT some problems such as speeding trucks. She said the speed limit is almost never lowered to less than 30 mph, and she is exploring options, one of which might be a stop sign to deter speeding.
Storm sewer issue revisited
The question of replacing or repairing the storm sewer line under the Riverside on the Root property was again discussed.
At last month's meeting, the possibility of it being an assessable item was considered. Manion stated at this meeting that "it would be hard to assess the property owner for any cost since the owner was not adding any water to it."
Riverside co-owner Mike Charlebois expressed concern for timing due to the spring melt, pointing out that if not done this fall, spring runoff could contribute to the problem. The council approved a feasibility study to be reviewed at its November meeting.
According to Vickerman, the council approved a mock accident to be staged at the Lanesboro Public Schools at a date to be announced. Also granted was a request by the Sons of Norway to be fiscal agent for an upcoming historical grant application. Also, the Ambulance Department has been awarded a $1,000 grant from AgStar to be used for radios.
The City was awarded a $300,000 grant from the Minnesota Historical Society to be used for the dam repair. The DNR has also indicated that it will match 50 percent, or $900,000 of the money raised. Vickerman indicated that means that $1.2 million has been secured out of the total $1.8 million needed.
Changes to the river/glass ordinance were reviewed, and it will be sent back to outfitters and other businesses for comments and on the agenda again for the November meeting.

The state of New York has filed a lawsuit against Intel Corp. accusing the chip giant of paying billions of dollars to computer makers in order to discourage them from using microprocessors by Advanced Micro Devices. Dell alone allegedly received $6 billion dollars between 2002 and 2007 and sometimes those payments exceeded Dell's profits.
The lawsuit alleges Intel paid computer makers, including IBM and HP, to discourage them from utilizing microprocessors produced by Intel's arch-rival AMD, reports Dow Jones Newswires. For example, as a part of the agreement, Intel compensated below-cost bids against rivals offering AMD-based desktops, servers or workstations by Dell in order to slowdown the increase of AMD's market share.
Under a secret pact named the "Mother of all Programs", Intel paid Dell a rebate based on the total cost of central processing units the computer maker bought, the lawsuit claims. The percentage of the rebate could fluctuate, but reached up to 16% as Dell mulled over using AMD processors. Moreover, in one fiscal quarter Intel's payments constituted 116% of Dell's reported net income, according to the lawsuit.
Intel has already faced similar lawsuits in Europe, Japan, South Korea and the U.S., therefore, the current accusations hardly change the situation drastically.
Dell, HP and Dell declined to comment, but Intel added that it would defend itself. IBM said it would co-operate with the investigation.

Didn't like it overall
There is something about this product I just didn't like. The texture is okay and the smell is alright. I don't know why people are complaining about the smell. It's very light and candy like. That was one of the things I did like. It was how it made my skin feel. At first when it goes on it feels great, but then as the day progresses you feel your skin getting dry in areas and then oily in others. It definitely DOES NOT balance the skin. At least mine it doesn't. I don't know...I just found the product a bit blah. I'm going back to using the Avalon Organics oil free moisturizer and the Alba Botanica one. Those hydrated my skin much better and dealt with the oiliness as well. This one didn't do jack!

Learning Is Way Too Much Fun!
"I had way too much fun in school."
It was one of the best compliments a 25 year old man can give his former Science coach. For some, it was also the most ironic. He was talking about middle school and high school, and all those intense years of studying and preparing to compete in Science Olympiad as a team. Fun? You bet!
I've tried, really I have—tried to believe in "new" ways, curriculum approaches, the different methods of education. But, after 18 years as a Science Olympiad coach, they never measure up to the comprehensive study, research, innovation that academic team competition provides. Few people have realized that the solution is already in front of us. There are students who have been benefiting from this for years.

Twentieth-Century Painting and Sculpture in the Philadelphia Museum of Art
By Ann Temkin, Susan Rosenberg, and Michael Taylor, with Rachel Arauz
160 pages
206 illustrations ( 195 in full color)
10 ½ x 12"
Paper ISBN 0-87633-132-0
Cloth ISBN 0-87633-133-9
Featuring pivotal works of twentieth-century painting and sculpture, this book handsomely illustrates a selection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art's outstanding modern art collection, accompanied by lively, descriptive notes.
The Museum's emphasis on early modern art was heralded by the first acquisitions of works by Constantin Brancusi and Pablo Picasso in the early 1930s. At the core of the holdings of modern art are the A.E. Gallatin and the Louise and Walter Arensberg collections. Together, they establish this institution as one of the world's pre-eminent museums in which to see modern art—home to the most important collection of Marcel Duchamp's work and unparalleled for its installation of sculpture by Brancusi.

This series isn't do or die. We play the Tigers 9 more times AFTER this series (including the last week of the season).
Both teams have comparable schedules, mostly inter-division games or games against weaker teams. The only real challenges in the schedule are with the Tigers having 4 games against TB and instead we have 3 against Texas.
It is going to be an exciting 6-7 weeks.

The new Liquidmetal Radical, the latest addition to the Radical series of racquets from Head, introduces a new material to racquet construction. Liquidmetal, a metal with the atomic structure of a liquid, was developed by the California Institute of Technology (CalTech). According to Liquidmetal.com, Liquidmetal alloy provides 29% more power than Titanium. Continued in the Liquidmetal Radical are previous Head technologies such as TwinTube frame construction and Intellifibres.
To trace the history of the Radical line we must first mention the Radical's most famous proponent, Andre Agassi. With the signing of Agassi to Head in 1993, Head launched its first Radical series racquet. Called the Trysis 260 Radical in the US market, this first Radical featured an Integrated Damping System and a 50 percent high modulus graphite, 5 percent Twaron and 45 percent graphite construction. One year after its inception Agassi used it to capture the US Open title, becoming the first unseeded player to win the Open in 28 years.
The first update to the Radical line came in 1995 with the introduction of the TwinTube Radical. The inner hard shell of TwinTube technology is made of pure graphite while the outer shell consists of a soft, absorbing polyamide. The designed benefit of TwinTube construction was to increase ball acceleration and provide more feel. In the Summer of 1997, the TwinTube Radical received a cosmetic update to stay in step with the ever evolving fashion of Agassi.
The Summer of 1999 would see a whole new Radical from Head, the Ti. Radical. The Ti. Radical would continue the TwinTube frame design, but would add the benefits of Titanium to the construction process. For the i.Radical, introduced in 2001, Head would introduce Intellifiber technology to the Radical line and produce the first Radical without a TwinTube frame design since the Trysis 260. Now, with the current Liquidmetal Radical, Head has reintroduced TwinTube frame construction, as well as keeping Intellifiber technology. In addition to the Liquidmetal technology, the Liquidmetal Radical also features Total Sweetspot Construction. For more information on the technology of the Liquidmetal Radical, visit our Head Liquidmetal Radical Technology page.
We playtested the Liquidmetal Radical Midplus (MP) and Oversize (OS) for a period of three weeks.
For our playtest, we strung the Liquidmetal Radical MP up with a 17 gauge multifilament string at 59lbs and added an overgrip. String vibration dampeners were provided and use was left up to the individual preference of the playtester.
The Liquidmetal Radical MP has a heftier feel to it than previous Radicals. As baseline players have traditionally gravitated towards heavier racquets, it was no surprise that the Liquidmetal Radical MP faired well from the baseline with our playtest team. After the three-week playtest Granville said, "one of the outstanding sensations when playing with this racquet was the flexing of the shaft. It was somewhat disconcerting at first, but as I continued to play with the raquet I was gaining confidence with every shot. I feel I can hit out with this racquet with little concern for hitting long. I found the Liquidmetal Radical MP very soft with good control."
Mark did not take long to find the groove with the LiquidMatal Radical MP. saying, "there is a good blend of power, control and maneuverability with this racquet and I was able to hit a variety of groundstrokes (slice, flat, topspin). The moderate power level of the Liquidmetal Radical MP gave me good control but was high enough to let me put the ball away when I took a bigger swing. The only thing I didn't like about the Liquidmetal Radical MP was that I didn't get as much spin on the ball as I have with other racquets."
Heather also quickly found the groove with the Liquidmetal Radical MP, finding her game and confidence improving as the playtest went on. "The amount of power offered by the Liquidmetal Radical MP is perfect for my game," said Heather. "I was able to hit out and be very aggressive with my shots. The more I got used to the racquet, the more I was able to increase the power of my groundstrokes without feeling any loss of control. The Liquidmetal Radical MP felt very solid and stable on topspin groundstrokes and I also saw a significant improvement in my ability to hit slice backhands. I was so confident with my slice backhand that I started using it more on approach shots and when I was pulled wide. The big improvement came from the amount of grip and spin I was generating. I was so happy with how I hit with this racquet that I have decided to make the switch to it from my Wilson ProStaff (ProStaff 6.0 95)."
Another player deciding to make the switch to the Liquidmetal Radical MP by the end of the playtest was Chad. "This is my new racquet of choice," said Chad. "The Liquidmetal Radical MP's sweetspot provides the feel of solid impact on almost every shot. Rarely did it feel like I mis-hit a ball. I felt like I could sit back on the baseline and go pound for pound with anybody with this racquet. I was highly impressed with the Liquidmetal Radical MP's performance from the baseline."
Drew said "I thoroughly enjoyed hitting groundstrokes with Liquidmetal Radical MP. There's a very solid feel, ample power and excellent control. The swingweight and string pattern do not make this a super topspin racquet, but I could hit heavy (pace + spin) groundstrokes and produce fairly good angles. The comfort is quite notable - there was no harshness at all on mis-hits, yet I could still "feel" the ball. Slices were effective; they were biting and stayed low. There was no unstable feeling in the head that happens on slices with lighter racquets."
Chris agreed, saying "this is one of the most comfortable player's racquets off the ground I have used in awhile. The feeling from the stringbed is very much what I'd call classic Head - it is both solid and comfortable, yet there is no loss of feel. The Liquidmetal Radical MP has some great off-the-shelf weight to it, which adds to the solid feel. I was able to generate a lot of racquet head speed with this racquet and enjoyed plenty of topspin on both forehands and backhands as a result. The sweetspot is generous and there are no surprises or 'hot zones' to be wary of. Although I hit some nice slice backhands, I think I could get more from the racquet on this shot with even more weight added to the frame. Mid-court shots felt good and I was getting enough control to really hit out on anything above net height." Combined Score 80
The solid feel our team found at the baseline with the Liquidmetal Radical MP continued at the net. Even our two baseline players appreciated the playability of the Liquidmetal Radical MP at net. First up was Heather. "I'm not a natural net player and prefer to finish the point off from the mid court on short balls, but I volleyed fairly well with this racquet. I liked the fact that the racquet remained stable even when I was reaching for low or wide volleys. Again, I liked the amount of power I was getting and I was able to keep my volleys nice and deep."
Our other baseline player, Drew, said, "volleys with the Liquidmetal Radical MP were effective and predictable. I'm not a great volleyer but unless I blew the shot the ball generally went where I wanted it to go. Although it might not sound like it, this is fairly high praise. I had a lot of confidence at the net (also high praise)."
Granville, who is probably the most frequent visitor to the net on our team said, "once again, the Radical heritage is obvious - good touch on the volleys but this time with a bit more pop. I attribute this to the slight increase in mass in the Liquidmetal Radical MP with its just over 11-ounce weight." Chris said he "found it easy to maneuver the Liquidmetal Radical MP at net. I felt confident going for my shots with this racquet and was getting a lot of feel from the stringbed. The large sweetspot proved to be very consistent and gave the racquet a comfortable and forgiving feel. I also hit some really nice inside-out volleys, managing to apply a little sidespin to create some additional angle."
Chad said he had "no complaints really on the volley. The Liquidmetal Radical MP is a bit heavier than what I'm used to, so maneuverability becomes more of an issue. Other than that, the sweetspot still felt crisp and clean." The weight of the Liquidmetal Radical MP was not an issue for Mark on the volley. "The Liquidmetal Radical MP felt great at the net," said Mark, "I found it very maneuverable and the power level was high enough to put volleys away, but not so high that control suffered. The sweetspot is somewhat limited by the Midplus head size, but hitting the ball near the center of the racquet head produced excellent results." Combined Score 78
The serve drew mostly positive results from our playtesters. Chris said, "I found the Liquidmetal Radical MP to be equally beneficial to flat and spin serving. There is no extended length or power grommet system to boost serving speed, but the placement of the Liquidmetal seems to make for a generous and consistent sweetspot. The Liquidmetal Radical MP is basically one of those racquets where the player gets out what he or she puts in. Consistency has to be the major benefit I found with this racquet on the serve."
Mark said that he "had good control and reasonable power with the Liquidmetal Radical MP. A few more miles per hour wouldn't have hurt, but the serves I did hit were solid and consistent. Hitting kick serves with the Liquidmetal Radical MP was a problem. My second serves didn't have as much kick as I would have liked. Players with more arm speed should be able to hit a decent kick serve, but my medium swing speed wasn't enough to overcome the tight string pattern."
Drew said, "I was very happy with my first serves - particularly the flat serves. I could consistently hit powerful serves with good accuracy. My slice serves didn't have any more slice than usual, but they did have more pace which made them very effective. Second serves were less impressive. With its tight string pattern and ample mass, I couldn't simply swing away and count on topspin to bring the ball down into the court. I certainly wasn't hitting powder-puff second serves, but I had to aim a little more towards the center of the service box and take a little more off than I would have with racquets that produce more spin. However, overheads felt great with the Liquidmetal Radical MP and there was plenty of power to put the ball away."
Unlike Mark and Drew, Chad found the weight of the Liquidmetal Radical MP a slightly better fit to his swing speed when serving. "Power and spin, what else can you ask for?" said Chad. "The Liquidmetal Radical MP seems to do everything right. The heavier frame (relative to past versions) felt great and I could accelerate through the ball with exceptional racquet head speed." Granville said, "I've always like serving with these racquets, finding excellent control with a nice soft feel. What you may lose in speed (due to flex) you replace with better control." Heather found she could hit some "really nice slice-kick and topspin-kick serves with the Liquidmetal Radical MP. I was able to generate the spin I was seeking while still hitting a penetrating serve. The occasional flat serves I hit had about the same power and pace as with my regular racquet." Combined Score 79
For the most part, our team found plenty of control when returning with the Liquidmetal Radical MP. Chad said, "anytime you're comfortable with a racquet it definitely reflects on your service return performance. I felt like I could attack my returns knowing that each shot would come off my racquet the way I wanted it to feel. The enhanced sweetspot always helps with returns (especially me)."
Chris found the Liquidmetal Radical MP to be surprisingly maneuverable on the return. "I had no problems getting the Liquidmetal Radical MP around on the return," said Chris. "I found plenty of feel on chip returns or short angles when I wanted to mix things up, as well as enjoying control on hard hit drive returns. The Liquidmetal Radical MP felt like it had a generous sweetspot and I was able to keep my returns deep and hit with good pace. Most importantly, I found a very consistent response from the stringbed with no hot spots to be wary of."
Heather said, "I was really driving my backhands with the Liquidmetal Radical MP. I was finding just the right blend of power and control to drive the ball off both wings, but really felt the benefit of this on my backhand. I was hitting down-the-line returns with more force and confidence and was able to find my target on a consistent basis. I really can't ask for much more than that."
When hitting returns, Mark noted that the racquet head felt smaller than on other shots. "My slice return was solid," said Mark, "but my flat and topspin returns were inconsistent. The head-light balance made the racquet too maneuverable on returns. The racquet head would pass through the hitting area too quickly, resulting in a lot of mis-hits. A little lead tape to alter the balance slightly would probably solve this problem."
Granville enjoyed hitting returns with the Liquidmetal Radical MP, saying, "having the option to hit out and not worry about hitting long is a big confidence booster and often allows me to try for a bit more than I would ordinarily. With such a soft stick, I feel I can put the ball just about anywhere and control the pace of the return for even better control and placement."
Also returning well with the Liquidmetal Radical MP was Drew. He said "I had good control and plenty of power on my returns with this racquet. Slice returns, which I only mixed in as a change of pace, were very controllable and effective." Combined Score 77
Our team noticed a heftier feel to the Liquidmetal Radical MP compared to the two previous Radicals. In most instances the extra heft was welcomed by our playtesters, with the exception of Chad on the volley and Mark on the serve. The most noticeable features our team found were the comfort and solid feel of the racquet. Two of our team members have decided to switch to the Liquidmetal Radical MP since participating in the playtest which says a lot for a racquet introducing a brand new technology.Combined Score 83
(Scores are determined by averaging individual play test scores)
For our playtest we strung the Liquidmetal Radical OS with a 17 gauge multifilament string at 61lbs and added an overgrip. String vibration dampeners were provided and use was left up to the individual preference of the playtester.
Offering a larger hitting area and a bit more pop, the Liquidmetal Radical OS is slightly more forgiving in play than the Liquidmetal Radical MidPlus and should appeal to a larger spectrum of player levels. First to comment on groundstrokes was Chris. He said "I found plenty of power on my groundstrokes with the Liquidmetal Radical OS. I enjoyed hitting slice backhands which became effortless when I caught the ball well out in front. However, I felt the Liquidmetal Radical OS had more to offer on the forehand side, where I enjoyed some nice topspin cross court angles. If I had a two handed backhand I might have enjoyed hitting groundstrokes much more, but I just didn't feel like I was reaping the benefits of the Oversize head shape with my one handed drive. I just wasn't getting the same amount of topspin on my backhand as I was generating with the Liquidmetal Radical MP. As with most Oversize racquets, I found I had the cunning ability to launch the occasional groundstroke for no apparent reason. This was no surprise to me, as I usually find myself lacking some control when hitting with an Oversize racquet. To counter, I normally string the racquet right at the maximum recommended tension. With the test racquet strung at only 62lbs, I did not have a chance to see if an increase in tension would result in an increase in control and confidence. Although the stringbed does not have what I would call a true hot spot, it is definitely livelier than the Midplus. I also noticed a more forgiving feel on off-center shots and found the Liquidmetal Radical OS to be extremely comfortable. It is one of the better Oversize racquets I've hit with in some time."
Granville also found the Liquidmetal Radical OS to be very comfortable. He said, "I had great confidence when using this racquet and I was able to really trust my strokes. I found a slight boost in power and comfort compared to hitting with the Liquidmetal Radical MP. Whether hitting forehands or backhands, I was able to put the ball deep in either corner or hit short side to side to really 'work' my opponent."
Mark said, "the Liquidmetal Radical OS comes very close to being a great racquet. Like the Liquidmetal Radical MP, the Liquidmetal Radical OS has an excellent blend of power, control and maneuverability. The power level is a little higher with the OS, but it's still low enough to provide good control from the baseline. The extra power helped me hit wide balls with more authority, and it made my slices more effective. I was able to hit solid forehands and backhands without taking a huge swing, and I was able to place the ball with confidence. The one factor that keeps me from putting the Liquidmetal Radical OS into the "great racquet" category was my inability to generate a lot of spin." Combined Score 72
If the Liquidmetal Radical OS impressed our playtesters from the baseline, it really started to shine at the net. "Once again the new Radical offers good comfort with a soft and lively stringbed," said Granville. "As with any Oversize racquet, if you are off center a bit you will feel that ever so slight wobble, but this can be minimized by dropping the tension a pound or two. The racquet has some added punch due to the slight increase in mass - but it is a noticeable improvement, especially on the high forehand volley where you can really punch it for the put-a-way. On the drop shot, I found a very delicate touch with little to no adjustment from my usual racquet."
Chris said he "really enjoyed volleying with Liquidmetal Radical OS. I found much more control on the volley than I had on groundstrokes. The maneuverability and weight of the Liquidmetal Radical OS seemed perfect for volleying, with a nice blend of stability, comfort, power and control. I was able to just direct the ball to my intended target when my opponent supplied the pace, but I also had good results hitting slower balls when I needed to punch the volley. When hitting low volleys and half-volleys I appreciated the larger sweetspot offered by the Oversize head shape."
Mark said, "The Liquidmetal Radical OS is very effective at the net. It was versatile enough to let me put the ball away or keep it in play, depending on the situation. I find a lot of oversize racquets have too much power at the net. This makes it tough to hit low volleys. With the Liquidmetal Radical OS I was able to keep the low balls in play and put away the high balls. Plus, the maneuverability was excellent and the sweetspot large. Combined Score 85
Our team soon settled into a good rhythm on the serve with the Liquidmetal Radical OS. Chris said "the extra power that I struggled to control from the baseline worked in my favor on the serve. I found my first serve had a little extra zip when I flattened it out on the down the 'T' serve. Spin serves got plenty of bite from the stringbed and I hit some nice kick and slice serves to open up the court. I also found the Liquidmetal Radical OS to be very solid when hitting overheads. I managed to get enough power and accuracy to put all but the most difficult to reach overheads away, and I found the racquet really responded to a good wrist snap."
As with the Liquidmetal Radical MP, Mark found the OS a good serving racquet with the exception of generating spin. "I served very consistently with the Liquidmetal Radical OS, with an occasional exceptional serve thrown in," said Mark. "The control was excellent and the power adequate. It was also very easy on my arm. The one serve I had problems with was the kick serve. I couldn't generate enough spin to get the high bounce needed to make a kick serve effective. I was able to place the serves well, but my opponent was able to return them too easily because they would just sit up and wait to be hit."
Granville said, "the Liquidmetal Radical OS is a very sweet racquet to play with and serving with the racquet is just anther example of this. I noticed the added 1/2 ounce more in the OS version (from the i.Radical OS) when serving. That little extra mass definitely delivers a bit more pop on the serve as compared to previous Radicals. The racquet even feels more solid at impact while maintaining its flexibility. On overheads this was a racquet where the more I played with it the more confident I became. The overhead is a good example of the playability of the racquet. On a simple offensive overhead I can put the ball away with little thought. In a more defensive position I have the control and soft feel to take a little off the ball and roll a softer cross court placement, giving me a shot at turning defense into offense. At the 11-ounce mark for weight it gives you a few more options than a heavier racquet might." Combined Score 77
Remembering that this is the racquet of choice for one of the greatest returners in the game, our playtesters had high expectations for the Liquidmetal Radical OS. Chris was first up, saying, "as on the groundstrokes, I would have liked to have hit returns with a Liquidmetal Radical OS strung up near the maximum recommended tension range. I felt like the ball was flying on me a bit on the return. I think the Liquidmetal Radical OS is more than capable of handling higher tensions without sacrificing comfort or feel as it really is an arm friendly racquet. Even with the test racquet strung lower than my ideal tension I was able to hit some nice chip returns and be consistent with drive returns if I took a little pace off. The racquet also felt quite maneuverable. I felt I could have added some weight to the frame and still been able to get the racquet around on the return."
Granville found he could hit out with confidence on the return, saying "when returning with the Radical I was able to swing out and play offensive tennis right from the get go. While I'm sure Agassi could return serve the way he does with a 2x4, it comes as no surprise that this is his racquet of choice. It must be perfectly suited for his game." Mark said the Liquidmetal Radical OS "was well suited for returning serves. The oversize head provides a large sweetspot and the moderate power level allows for a full swing with good control. It's also very maneuverable and stable. However, I did have some returns sail on me because they didn't have enough spin." Combined Score 73
The Liquidmetal Radical OS is a comfortable racquet that excelled at the net and turned in a solid performance everywhere else. Our playtesters found a good blend of power, stability and control on most shots, but there where times when playtesters struggled to generate the spin they were seeking. When serving with the Liquidmetal Radical OS our team found control as well as power. Again, comfort was a noticeable quality of the racquet when serving. In our opinion, this latest version of the ever evolving Radical has a lot to offer and is every bit as worthy of continuing the Radical name as previous versions. Combined Score 78

As good a reason as any, I 'sposePosted Monday, May 7, 2012, at 8:21 AM
I've seen/heard lots of reasons to vote for Obama. I don't agree with them. Some seem so full of ...well ya know. But if those can be reasons then here is one as good as any.
They say a picture says a million words. And usually a picture doesn't lie. If I had to pick a man who was going to "take care of me" I know who I'd want it to be. Or, in this case, who I don't want it to be.
ah heck, I got started, and found other photos I love.
He was one of the first President's I paid attention to. And I always loved watching the relationship between he and his wife.
He held up our flag, in so many ways.
I have a Calendar of Reagan tucked away. It is one of those things that is very special to me. He was a man who wasn't always trying to look pretty, but do a good job. It's my opinion, no need to try to change it.

There are so many analogies for this. I could wax on forever. But I might let the photo speak for me..... a million words.....

I watched parts of the Kentucky Derby on TV. I was appalled at how many people who may have stood but did not show any respect while the anthem was being sung.
Some of them were texting, drinking or laughing and talking.
What a terrible shame. Off-Subject I know. But a signifcant difference than when Ronald Regan was in charge.

And I agree Bonnie. Lack of respect abounds

One more, maybe: Reagan, on an open microphone he knew was open, "mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" Maobama, on an open microphone he didn't realize was broadcasting, told Russian President Dmitry Medvedev that he would have "more flexibility" in missile defense negotiations after the 2012 elections. Integrity versus duplicity. Americanism versus "G-dd-mn America." Both swore an oath to protect and defend the nation and the constitution. One actually meant it. The other is running for re-election.

Good post. I especially like the comparison pictures of President Reagan on the horse and the Kowtower on the bike.
I had the pleasure of being in the presence of President Reagan when I was in the military. He spoke as a down to earth person, who wanted the best for all. The media hated him and did their best to destroy him. His mannerisms were so strong and clear the American people saw him in a light the press could not understand. I'm glad I was there and will always remember it.

Another brokerage. Just what we need!
I imagine that, on reading or hearing last week's news that BNY Mellon is planning to open a European brokerage business, many people will have had the same reaction as me: an emphatic "eh?".
Because it doesn't make sense, does it? The equities business is, as no one who works in it needs reminding, fundamentally challenged if not completely broken.
Revenues from equities trading in the first nine months of the year are down by 14% across 14 large investment banks compared with the same period last year, according to Financial News analysis.
The number of banks that have axed equities jobs in the past few months is long and distinguished.
The issue is simple enough. Trading volumes are going through the floor, the costs of competing are high and there are still, despite the job cuts, far too many brokers.
So, why does BNY Mellon think it can make headway as a new entrant in a dying market? The answer, as so often is the case, can be found in asking the opposite question: what would happen if it didn't?
Because, you see, those banks cutting their equities operations have also spied an opportunity. And that opportunity sits firmly on the traditional turf of custody players like Mellon.
Many banks are – not before time – restructuring to better serve their main client segments: investors and companies. But, to make the new model work, banks need to offer a broad range of integrated services.
For those targeting investors, that means that things like research and sales and trading must be combined with more electronic bits and bobs such as flow trading and (here's why the custodians will be getting nervous) prime services, clearing and fund administration.
Some banks already offer these things but need to gain market share; others don't and will soon be hunting for acquisitions.
BNY Mellon may or may not make a go of broking. But the answer to why it has tried to break into this crowded and shrinking business is simple: if it didn't, it'd be toast.

Implications for practice and research
■ Women are vulnerable to depression and anxiety during pregnancy and post partum, yet only one in four seek help.
■ Clinical management of mothers experiencing depression should assess for substance abuse, unmet needs and psychiatric co-morbidities.
■ Population-based studies can determine prevalence but cause and effect is best shown through intervention-based randomised controlled trials.
■ Depressed women are less likely to respond to surveys, so using face-to-face and telephone interviews can enhance response rates and completion.
Pregnancy can trigger a first depressive episode or recurrence of depression for some women. Depressive symptoms of pregnant and post partum women do not differ much from those of depressed …

Keep or Release????
I would like to hear from those who fish the Park waters. *Catch & Release or Keep to Eat? *Do you always C&R or sometimes C&R? *What determines wheather you put 'em back?
The only time I keep 'em is when I'm camping and having trout for supper that night; otherwise I put 'em back for the next time.
Would like to read your approach & reasoning. Do you keep the big ones or just the pan sized?
Re: Keep or Release????
I'm a 99% catch and release, but like you, when I'm camping or backpacking, there is nothing better than a couple of trout, in some foil with lemon pepper and olive oil over an open fire to take the place of those dehydrated meals after a few days.
Re: Keep or Release????
This is a hot potato and it can get ugly. I have been doing 100% c/r the last ten years or so. I am starting to have doubts. I know from biological sources that these creeks in the mountains have very low nutrient levels and therefore produces a stunted population due to overpopulation. The same thing happens in a lot of cold lakes up north with pan fish such as yellow perch. If you remove some of the smaller ones you actually enhances the fishery. More chance for the remaining fish to grow. If you take only the big ones away you might do more harm. In other words slot limits might help. I.e. keep 6" to 8" fish and no kill on the other sizes. The problem is that it's hardly worhwhile to clean and cook a small fish and you don't want to catch fish just to trash.
On another note: It has to my knowledge become a big political debate over in Europe if it is ethichal or not to play a fish to near exhaustion just for the fun of it and then release that fish to maybe death and or suffering. This is not PETA stuff. This debate is raging among noted fly fisherman both in Scandinavia and England. They are basically questioning the whole Lee Wulff thing about the game fish (you get the picture). I have to say it kind of get you thinking. Why do we fish? I understand the whole concept of enjoying the sport but does make you think about it. I know for a fact that many people play their fish way too long in warm water and or abuse em in other ways. Letting them flop around on rocks etc. I'm not trying to be holier than thou on this but I have seen this happening. I once got a fish on a mountain stream hooke real bad and I got the hook out but the fish was bleeding. Sure enough it died soon after that. In this particular instance I had to release the fish due to size reg. Still that was a fish that died needlessley. Enough of my ranting. I do feel mixed about this and I belong to Trout Unlimited and FF. They both advocate Cr and FF more so than TU. It's kind of hard to be a member of these organisations and then throw back fish that probably won't make it. Please don't take this the wrong way keep it civile I'm just interested in healthy debate. Like I said I c/r 100% but I'm thinking about keeping some fish especially on tailwaters. Opinions anyone?
Re: Keep or Release????
Interesting topic... I always catch and release personally. That said, I definately think that keeping a couple of fish is not a problem. As said in the previous post, there is a definite overpopulation in the mountain streams. Anyone who has fished the Smokies for many years can tell you that the fish are larger after flood years. Why? because the floods cause lower survival among the young fish, allowing the other fish to grow larger.
Something that bothers me is the people that release but don't respect the fish. I was fishing this last spring for Apache trout in a mountain lake in Arizona. Several people were there catching a lot of fish. One guy was catching a lot, but when he would "release" the fish, he threw them back, literally. Soon there were the tell-tale floaters around where the guy was fishing. I was fishing with a kid and carefully used it as a lesson to show him why we are gentle with the fish we release. After that, he was very careful how he let the fish go. If we are going to release, we need to be careful to not kill the fish playing it. Now if we could just get everyone being as careful :( ::) ::) 8-)!
Re: Keep or Release????
Catch and Release 100%. *For the last 5 years or so, 90% of my fishing takes place in the Park. *Just as previous responders, I see so many people mistreating fish in the park that I am more comfortable releasing my catches. *Another reason is I don't eat fish. *No particular reason why, I just don't eat them. *
After a catch, I try to net them as quickly as I can (especially in hot weather), handle them as little as possible, and make sure they are "oxygenated" before I allow them to swim off. *When I do not use a net, I always wet my hand(s) before handling and try never to scrape them against anything that may remove the film. *This is my way of trying to preserve the most important participant of a sport that has amazed yet beWILDered me at the same time. *
Good topic for discussion. *I look forward to keeping up with the responses to this thread.
Re: Keep or Release????
100% catch and release...admire them for a second or two, then gently ease them back in.
I figure if they were gullible enough to be caught by such a lousy fisherman as I, then maybe they'll give me the pleasure again someday! ;)
Spring is just around the corner; my best flyfishing wishes to all, C&R or not.
Re: Keep or Release????
Ok here it goes lets see if I can be graceful. I do almost, nearly always practice C&R BUT, I do sometimes keep a trout or two. They will always be stocker bow. Never a brown or for god's sake a Smallmouth, they have a special place in my heart. If I fish a state stocked section of stream in VA I will keep a few, it is put and take water. So if I don't keep it the next crawler drowner will. I have the view that thos fish are put there for that purpose. I shoudl be able to get in on the eatin' too. Also I fish the Holston alot. When they put those pesky little bows in there I do my part to keep a few and get them outta the way. I know todays dink is tomorow trophy. BUt I agree with overpopulated streams are worse than under for size matters. I won't keep the fish unlesss I can fry them that evening, won't freeze them. I also only keep 2 to 3 size depending. My wife won't eat them so I am only feeding myself. This reminds me of a story. I was on the Holston and was whacking those little bows, I decided to keep a few so I broke off a ol stick for a stringer and went to hanging them right before I left. On the trail on the way out I passed a local guide with a client. He said "huh looks like you had a good day" in my best snotty voice. He acted like they were his fish. I kinda got ticked, I said "ya should have kept the other 30 or so I caught"! I know that was wrong, but the Holsotn is full of fish and my few to eat a couple or three times a year isn't going to kill it. Oh well running in circles better let it go now!
Re: Keep or Release????
Catch and release is a dangerous thing. It makes us forget the point of fishing. Fishing is a blood sport, and we are predators. To believe any different is wrong. This doesn't mean that I keep every fish I catch, but I could keep a limit every time I fished and not feel bad about it; in fact, it might be pleasant. I would however get complaints from home because my wife would get tired of fish. The story you recount of the "snooty" guide is foolish, but it is also foolish to act like there are some species too good to keep. The reason we enjoy fishing is the same reason cats love killing. We are predators.
There is plenty of science to support some killing and some catch and release, but we don't need to rationalize something so visceral. Eating is what we do as apex predators. Now don't get me wrong, I don't care if some of you have evolved beyond your predatory nature; I have not ;)
Re: Keep or Release????
The references to the effect of over populating these streams is true and I have seen the proof. Besides the plus side of flood effects I have seen what a forced harvest can do to a stream. As part of the Parks brookie restoration effort they tried to fish out Tremont one year. They removed the size and creel limits on rainbows and browns and required all who fished the river to keep all trout other than brookies. Prior to this most of the fish caught above the forks were generally 6-7" on average. The next year the fishing was unbelievable and most fish were in the 8 inch range. The last couple of times I have fished up above the cascades there were a lot of those little 5-6" bows. I spent most of my childhood summers roaming these mountains following my grandfather and uncle while they fished. I have enjoyed many a meal of those small , sweet fish. This was also during a time when there was a stocking program in the park...the hatchery used to be at the Chimney's picnic area. I do not see where an occasional couple of fish kept to eat is a matter of life or death for these streams. What I think has had a bigger impact on the fishing is the budget restraints on the Park service which has made rule enforcement almost non-existant.
Re: Keep or Release????
I am curious on how good the fish are to eat with such a high acidity in the water. I am a big believer in C&R just because if I want trout, salmon, whatever I can get it pre cut from the store. Not only that I get farm raised fish which is not subjected to so many pollutants that are in our waters. My friends wife works for a group that studies the bacteria in our local waters and its not a pretty thing.
There is a guy I fish with who keeps everything he catches. Granted he eats everything he catches or gives it to someone. I personally just like catching the fish and letting it go so someone else can catch em.

Did anyone else see this on ESPN2 last night? Great fight.
The referee made a somewhat controversial stoppage in the 7th round, but a TKO was definitely in the works and he probably prevented Lee from any clinical brain damage... seriously, it was that bad.
It's almost unbelievable that it was the second time this year that an overhyped, undefeated Irish boxer and future opponent of Kelly Pavlik got destroyed by a relatively unknown fighter from the Contender series.
The first beatdown occurred when John Duddy faced Walid Smichet late last month. Duddy was somehow awarded a split decision, but he took a serious beating. Portions of the fight might be available on youtube.... the first two rounds were particularly brutal.
I'd like to see Pavlik fight Lockett in June, followed by a Sept bout against Arthur Abraham. If he wins both of those fights, he then faces the winner of a final four consisting of Duddy/Lee and Smichet/Vera in December.
From there, he looks into a HUGE fight vs. Joe Calzaghe sometime next summer.
