Word for Word/Covert Action; All the President Had to Do Was Ask; The C.I.A. Took Aim at Allende
Published: September 13, 1998
(Page 2 of 2)
On 3 November 1970, Dr. Salvador Allende became the first democratically elected Marxist head of state in the history of Latin America -- despite the opposition of the U.S. Government. As a result, U.S. prestige and interests in Latin America and, to some extent, elsewhere are being affected materially at a time when the U.S. can ill afford problems in an area that has traditionally been accepted as the U.S. ''backyard.''
From November 1970 until September 1973, when the military seized power, the C.I.A. spent $8 million undermining President Allende. When the coup came, the United States knew about the plans and encouraged them, but played no direct role . Three weeks later, a United States military intelligence officer reconstructed the day
Chile's coup d'etat was close to perfect. Unfortunately, ''close'' only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. . . . Original plan called for President Allende to be held incommunicado in his home until the coup was a fait accompli. H-hour delay in Santiago permitted Allende to be alerted at 0730. Allende immediately dashed to the palace . . . [where] he had access to radio communications facilities which permitted him to personally implore ''workers and students, come to the Moneda and defend your Government against the Armed Forces.'' The hour was 0830. . . . Military had all roads to Santiago blocked. Lid was on TIGHT inside city. Everyone on streets not wearing right color jersey stood an excellent chance of getting shot. Allende managed to personally broadcast two ''MAYDAY'' messages. The first, at 0830, sounded strong and confident as he summoned the workers and students. The second at 0945 sounded morose, almost as if he was preparing the eulogy for his dying government. It was his last broadcast as the Air Force soon located and rocketed his antennae. The hour was 1015. . . .
Allende was found alone and dead in his office off the inner courtyard. He had killed himself by placing a sub-machine gun under his chin and pulling the trigger. Messy, but efficient. The gun was lying near his body. A gold metal plate imbedded in the stock was inscribed ''To my good friend Salvador Allende from Fidel Castro.'' Obviously Communist Cuba had sent one too many guns to Chile for their own good. The hour was 1345. . . .
Semper Fidelis
Patrick J. Ryan
Lieutenant Colonel, USMC
Postscript: After 17 years as Chile's dictator, General Pinochet relinquished power to a civilian government in 1990. But he remained commander in chief of the armed forces, stepping down from that post only last March. In a farewell ceremony, the old general praised the armed forces as ''the savior of democracy'' in Chile.

Chris Hardwick Tweets a Necessary Moment of Levity After Last Night's Episode of 'The Walking Dead'
By Dustin Rowles | The Walking Dead | March 17, 2014 | Comments ()
Last night's episode of The Walking Dead was the darkest of the series' run, according to me and everyone else on the planet. TK has the recap of the devastating episode here, and these 10 Twitter responses to the episode at 9:48 p.m. EST pretty much sum up the response to the most harrowing moment of television this year.
After all of that, Chris Hardwick — host of The Talking Dead — was nice enough to provide one moment of twisted, morbid levity, which I think is necessary after an episode like that.
R.I.P. Lizzie and Mika.
p.s. I don't watch The Talking Dead, but I have noticed that Yvette Nicole Brown has been on a couple of episodes, which is strange considering she has nothing to do with the show. Is she really good on it?

Morgan Stanley Boosts Copper, Gold Forecasts For 2011 on Supply
Morgan Stanley boosted its 2011 price forecasts for gold and copper, and recommended equities including Xstrata Plc and Kazakhmys Plc, because of expected supply constraints and a weak dollar.
"Accelerating weakness in the U.S. currency, driven by fears of renewed quantitative easing to confront sluggish U.S. growth, is proving to be a boon to commodity markets," Morgan Stanley metals and mining analysts led by Peter Richardson said. Gains will be supported by "resilient growth in emerging markets," they said.
Gold prices are expected to average $1,315 an ounce, 14 percent higher than Morgan Stanley's previous forecast, and copper $3.80 a pound, up 10 percent. Iron-ore prices are set to trade next year at $135 a ton, unchanged on the bank's previous forecast, and up from an average $122 a ton for this year.
"Despite some persistent market concerns about the strength of demand for steel-making raw materials in 2011-12, and fears regarding the growth in new capacity over this timeframe, especially in iron ore, our fundamental analysis highlights continued strength in premium products," Morgan Stanley said.
Seaborne markets will struggle to provide sufficient supply to match anticipated growth in steel production, at least until 2012, it said.
Other companies Morgan Stanley favored were Kobe Steel Ltd., Impala Platinum Holdings Ltd., Tata Steel Ltd., Posco and Fortescue Metals Group Ltd.

This was our first visit to Amsterdam and we wanted a reasonably priced B&B for one night and with most hotels & B&Bs the minimum stay was 2/3 nights. The staff on arrival were very welcoming and offered assistance with our luggage to the room and nothing was to much trouble.
We booked a triple room which was in the basement of the hotel (possibly tricky for people with walking difficullties) and couldnt fault the cleanliness or the room size. We had an en-suite bathroom and the room consisted of two single beds and a sofa bed.
Were hoping to go back to Amsterdam in August/September and we will be using this B&B again!!

Release Date:
April 29, 2008
The last ELO album to make a major impact on popular music, Out of the Blue was of a piece with its lavishly produced predecessor, A New World Record, but it's a much more mixed bag as an album. For starters, it was a double LP, a format that has proved daunting to all but a handful of rock artists, and was no less so here. The songs were flowing fast and freely from Jeff Lynne at the time, however, and well more than half of what is here is very solid, at least as songs if not necessarily as recordings. "Sweet Talkin' Woman" and "Turn to Stone" are among the best songs in the group's output, and much of the rest is very entertaining. The heavy sound of the orchestra, however, as well as the layer upon layer of vocal overdubs, often seem out of place. All in all, the group was trying too hard to generate a substantial-sounding double LP, complete with a suite, "Concerto for a Rainy Day." The latter is the nadir of the album, an effort at conceptual rock that seemed archaic even in 1977. Another chunk is filled up with what might best be called art rock mood music ("The Whale"), before you finally get to the relief of a basic rocker like "Birmingham Blues." Even here, the group couldn't leave well enough alone -- rather than ending it on that note, they had to finish the album with "Wild West Hero," a piece of ersatz movie music that adds nothing to what you've heard over the previous 65 minutes. In its defense, Out of the Blue was massively popular and did become the centerpiece of a huge worldwide tour that earned the group status as a major live attraction for a time. [Out of the Blue was reissued in 2007 as a 30th Anniversary Edition with new photos, liner notes, and three bonus tracks, including "The Quick and the Daft,""Latitude 88 North," and a home demo of "Wild West Hero."] ~ Bruce Eder, Rovi

You have parking brake shoes underneath the pads and rotors you see through the wheels. I would be curious to know how you wore out a set of shoes that do nothing but hold the car when parked. If you really need them: The total job to replace pads, rotors and new parking brake shoes and about $650. Just don't let the mechanic set the shoes too tight. You'll ruin the new rotor and the smell will be something to remember. Happy Holidays.

Simple and good choice to make backups.
From my point of view, it lacks the following:
- Make Back up in a particular directory.
- Allow indicate days of the week on which to perform backups.
- Indicate specific time at which to start the backp.
Despite this, it is a good plugin to sleep more peacefully.
Thank you.
just installed, just configure drive api and plugin, just work: good :-)

I want to parse dates like these into a datetime object:
- December 12th, 2008
- January 1st, 2009
The following will work for the first date:
datetime.strptime("December 12th, 2008", "%B %dth, %Y")
but will fail for the second because of the suffix to the day number ('st'). So, is there an undocumented wildcard character in strptime? Or a better approach altogether?

For high investment yields that are worth the extra risk, look beyond junk bonds. Investors have piled into them, causing prices to rise and yields to fall to record lows. The BofA Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II index recently yielded just 5.7%.

Business-development companies, or BDCs, make loans to small and midsize businesses and pass the interest on to shareholders as income. They trade like stocks, much like their pass-through investment siblings, real-estate investment trusts and master limited partnerships.
Even the safest of BDC stocks are offering yields of 8%. By contrast, junk bonds are generally yielding less than 6%. Stuart Goldenberg for Barron's
BDC loans and junk bonds both carry elevated risk of default, which portfolio managers seek to keep in check with diversification and careful choosing. There are important differences between the two assets, however. Many BDC loans are "senior secured" debt, meaning that in the event of bankruptcy, they must be paid before junk bonds. Also, many BDC loans carry floating interest rates. That puts them at lower risk of price declines if rates broadly rise.
In addition, BDCs have relatively little competition. Their customers are generally too small to tap the bond market, and commercial banks are finding such lending less attractive in the wake of new capital requirements.
The dearth of rivals means that BDCs can charge rates commensurate with their risks. Most charge fees to issue loans, similar to points on a mortgage. Once the loans become securities, demand for them rises among investors that can hold such loans but can't originate them. "We're able to originate loans by putting up 98 cents on the dollar, and then sell them at 101 cents," says Leonard Tannenbaum, chief executive of Fifth Street Finance FSC 0.9009009009009009% Fifth Street Finance Corp.

"Sometimes we sell them right away."
Little wonder that BDCs have been attracting more attention of late. Wells Fargo created a BDC index in January 2011. Soon after, UBS issued exchange-traded notes that track the index. This past February, Van Eck launched the group's first exchange-traded fund, Market Vectors BDC Income BIZD 0.0793623005730425% VanEck Vectors BDC Income ETF U.S.: NYSE Arca 17.1502 0.0136 0.0793623005730425% /Date(1469823596738-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 14109 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 9.46927732621194% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » (BIZD). Rising recognition could eventually narrow the yield gap between BDCs and junk-bond funds. "I see an opportunity for valuation arbitrage," says Jonathan Bock, an analyst at Wells Fargo. "You pick up more than three extra percentage points versus junk-bond yields, and you get better protection."
Before buying into BDCs, however, investors should consider some of the potential pitfalls. Allied Capital and American Capital ACAS 0.3656307129798903% American Capital Ltd. U.S.: Nasdaq USD16.47 0.06 0.3656307129798903% /Date(1469826000401-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 948022 AFTER HOURS USD16.45 -0.02 -0.12143290831815422% Volume (Delayed 15m) : P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap 3530821946.60866 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 384393 More quote details and news » (ACAS) suffered high-profile blowups during the financial crisis of 2007-09. In hindsight, both companies had lent too aggressively while adding large amounts of stock exposure to their portfolios. BDCs use leverage, with a legal limit of 1:1, which amplifies the effects of excessive risk-taking. Since then, outside scrutiny of BDC loan books has risen, making today's valuations more reliable, says Bock.
Leverage can be a good thing, considering that many BDCs now can borrow at just over 6% (or 3.5%, if they use government-subsidized funds for small businesses) and lend at 10%. And many are prudent lenders; the group has managed to keep loan-loss rates at about 0.7% a year of capital deployed, below the rate of commercial banks.
BDCs must pay out the bulk of their income as dividends. Look for outfits that can cover at least three-quarters of their dividend payments with loan interest alone, before adding things like underwriting fees and gains, which can shrink in a downturn. Investor fees are important, too. Many BDCs charge like hedge funds, collecting 2% of assets plus 20% of winnings each year. Good ones have provisions that reduce management fees in the event of portfolio losses. Bad ones don't.
WELLS FARGO HAS divided the BDC universe into four tiers based on risk. Over the past two years, its top-ranked BDCs have gained a total of 36%, versus 24% for all BDCs in its coverage. Good bets from this lowest-risk group include Hercules Technology Growth, which specializes in tech companies and often negotiates for stock warrants as part of its deals. That gives it upside potential with less downside risk and mimics a tactic used by Warren Buffett in recent years. Golub Capital BDC is only three years old but is run by a firm with nearly two decades of lending experience. It has a shareholder-friendly fee structure and is particularly picky about risk. New Mountain Finance specializes in lending to companies whose earnings tend to hold up well during downturns in the economy.
Ares Capital is the largest BDC and a veteran of the financial crisis. Its shares plunged with those of Allied and American then, but with a crucial difference: Ares continued paying healthy dividends. The stock price has recovered, and while the ride for long-term holders has been anything but comfortable, it has been plenty profitable. The shares returned a total of 203% between their October 2004 debut and the end of last year. That compares with 50% for the Standard & Poor's 500 index.

Lateral movement is an integral part of tennis. It is a fact that around 70% of movements in tennis are lateral (side to side) and not linear (forwards and backwards). This is not only true in professional, college and junior performance tennis but is also true at the Adult Amateur Level as well. (This is exactly why tennis shoes are heavier and have more support on the side than running shoes, in order to prevent ankle injuries when moving laterally.)
Everyone can benefit from lateral movement training. Not just younger players or the pro's. Even if you are working with a Senior player aged 80 years old, there will be benefits to lateral training.
I would recommend taking your Adult Students through the below routine and encouraging them to utilize it two or three times a week by themselves. Below are five lateral movement exercises that will help strengthen the ankles and hips and also increase lateral movement speed and efficiency. Of course, according to the age, athletic ability and fitness level of your students, they can adjust with more or less repetitions if necessary. Remember, form is key!
All of these exercise are online at Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRmV4fwgdcc
Hopefully, these exercises will help all of your Adult Students increase their lateral movement speed. If done with the correct form and on a regular basis, even your older students will see positive results.

I thought it may be interesting to share an enlightening conversation I had with a 14 year old female tennis player I train recently. The details may not be 100% accurate but hopefully the essence of it will come across. It just made me reflect that sometimes some of the most revealing things come out in these seemingly casual exchanges. We had just finished a session. On this occasion it had been an on-court movement session. It had been a productive session, looking to work on some specific movement patterns and to improve the efficiency of movement and we were walking back from the courts.
The player commented that she thought that I had been really motivated and she could see that I was working hard to come up with ideas that would benefit her. We talked about how some of the ideas may work and some may need refining but that's fine! The intention, however, was always to try to develop her.
She commented further that she really didn't like it when a coach (tennis or S&C) is clearly not engaged in the session and doesn't appear to really care about improving the player and we dug a little deeper into this. Many of her observations were incredibly astute. I have recently completed my Master Tennis Performance Specialist (MTPS) with the International Tennis Performance Association (ITPA), and the player said that she felt she could see a difference in me since I had done this. I said that I had enjoyed the course, had taken lots of ideas from it and agreed that I had developed as a coach as a result.
It was a very open and honest discussion and I thought it was very interesting. The key points for me were:

It goes without saying that the health of a tennis player is dependent on their support team. There seems to be a growing epidemic of injuries at all levels, from professional players pulling out of major tournaments to young players missing practice time. I have seen too many injuries happen at all levels because decisions are often made based on one's own individual wants, athletes not taking the advice of their team or lack of planning. Whether it's a young athlete or a professional one, health decisions must be made with the input and sincere commitment of each team member. This input must be based on the best interest of the athlete, and not on an individual's ulterior motives.
It may seem funny to some that I said "sincere commitment." I have often witnessed coaches, trainers and parents that put their own personal needs ahead of the player's. This can happen for various reasons, like one's own potential financial gains, ego or lack of commitment.
Coaches that give lessons or training sessions to players who have injuries have always fascinated me. I cannot understand a coach that would book or give a lesson to an athlete knowing that they are suffering from an injury. This is often leads to the session being cut short or "working" on other aspects of their game. Funny thing about pain, playing or training with it does not make it better. Easy rule to follow: does it hurt, yes or no? Anything but a firm no means yes. I am completely aware that there are training sessions that can be done and will not affect the injury negatively. I am not talking about helping to rehab or not doing serves because everything else is ok to do. But far too often it results in the athlete admitting that they felt pain at some point in time during the training. It's not enough that training sessions take place while the athlete is injured, as it is also expected that the athlete return to play at the same intensity and duration. Returning from injury is a process. If the process is forced, chances are the injury reoccurs. There is nothing wrong with a shorten practice when starting back. Better to get off the court early and pain free, then to continue and take a major step back. Let us not only put the onus on the coaches. What about the parent that allows this to occur? Unfortunately, sometimes the reasoning is that there is a tournament coming, or cancellation fees might apply.
Coordinating an athlete's schedule requires great planning and so does putting that plan into action. Showing up and deciding on the spot what needs to be done, not planning the tournament schedule or continuing to overload the athlete at every turn is a sure plan for failure. The team should all be on the same page, with the athlete, on what the course of action is for the year. Overzealous trainers trying to prove their worth with inhuman workouts are not on a constructive plan of action. You cannot build someone up by destroying them each time. Coaches and parents that sign up for every tournament without any focus on recuperation is counterproductive, again just looking for those extra points and or other gains. We must remember that a career, especially at a young age, is part of a very long journey. Pushing through injury can be seen as brave and warrior-like, but at what cost for the young player. I am not at all saying that training should stop or a lesson cut short because of some of the discomfort that is associated with elite training. But when it increases the magnitude of the injury and risks a longer absence from tennis, then I think we all have to pay attention and re-adjust.
For the young athlete, parents should take the advice of the training team. If the parent is not confident with the decisions being made, then changes in the coaching staff should be made. Often in fitness the parents want a big emphasis on tennis-specific training for athletes of a young age. Building an athlete is the goal. Specializing too early may bring early rewards but will eventually lead to a tennis player with sub-par athletic ability.
Lastly, let's not forget the player's involvement and commitment. The player needs to be present not only physically, but also mentally and emotionally. All the training in the world is pointless unless it is accompanied with a great sense of purpose. I have seen athletes that don't care and go through the motions, hoping for the best come match day. Time on the court does not always dictate success.
I believe that for the most part, coaches and parents have the wellbeing of the player at heart. Working together with passion and commitment towards a common goal will ultimately lead to the best possible success that the athlete can obtain. Developing an athlete safely and smartly is all that can be asked. Besides the physical, great coaches help develop a better person, which will last a lifetime. At then end of the day, that is why we coach.
Can Shock Microcycles Improve PreSeason Training in Professional Tennis Players?
By Joshua Colomar (iTPA) and Mark Kovacs, PhD, CTPS, MTPS (iTPA)
The calendar of a tennis player at the junior, collegiate or professional level is increasing each year. The demands have increased with exhibition events, a more robust tournament schedule and sponsor events, which have added to an already loaded year round competitive calendar. This leads to less time for coaches to program and periodize preseason periods. While technical and tactical issues tend to be the most important aspect during players' training, it is challenging to develop the much needed physical aspects during a shortened preseason period. We know from the research that it takes a significant number of weeks to develop strong strength and hypertrophy gains. As a result, newer techniques are developed to approach training during preseason. High Intensity Training (HIT) is a rather common technique that is being utilized more. A shock microcyle (an increased intensity of work over a short amount of time) in combination with technical/tactical work could offer enough stimulus for positive adaptation in a time efficient manner for preseason training. A recent study by Fernandez et al (2015) can offer some preliminary insights.
12 male professional tennis players (500-800 ATP Ranking) performed a 17-day HIT shock microcycle in addition to conventional tennis training. The program was formed by 3 running protocols based on the Intermittent Fitness Test (IFT) and one protocol based on on-court specific drills ('Big X'; 'Suicide'; 'Recovery/Defensive'…) Data was collected from different tests:
Results indicated major increases in velocity during IFT (6.5%) and average increases in repeated sprint ability (0.5%). CMJ and 20m sprint remained statistically without significant differences.
Increases in IFT velocity didn't correspond with increases in VO2max. Studies have demonstrated that endurance can be enhanced without changes in this parameter. These results indicate that training intervals ranging from 15s to 120s at 90-95% of HR result in specific endurance increases.
Regarding RSA improvements, specificity of training that involves similar muscles and acceleration/deceleration patterns result in positive changes in specific coordination during RSA tests.
The major concerning aspects of this type of training is the risk of overreaching/overtraining or potential injury. High intensity bouts at initial stages of season added to normal training can result in highly fatigued athletes. Further studies should be carried out to establish "how much is too much?'' and "how much is needed to maintain gains?'' Until then, coaches have to be very aware of load control and fatigue-related parameters like RPE, soreness, recovery quality, sleep parameters, heart rate variability measures, etc.
As coaches, we need to monitor, control and better quantify the load players are exposed to during training. HIT can be considered as a viable addition to a preseason training plan, with appropriate monitoring and understanding of the increased fatigue that is likely to occur to the athlete. Some studies revealed the validity of RPE as an effective method for quantifying load in tennis sessions. It's the case of Gomes et al. (2015) in which RPE applied to 12 tennis players in 384 on-court tennis sessions; 23 simulated matches and 13 official matches were compared to heart rate values (internal load in this case) for the same players in the same situations. Results gave high correlation between both values and offers an easy technique that doesn't require sophisticated equipment. This heart rate monitoring allows for relatively low cost monitoring for coaches and tennis performance specialists. Nevertheless, future investigations are needed to demonstrate validity of RPE for recovery aspects, overall season progression and fitness workouts in which specificity, volume, intensity, density and many physical parameters are involved in training.

Classical descriptions present tennis as a prolonged activity (2-4 hours) of repeated, high-intensity bouts interspersed with standardized rest periods. Such description establishes that the sport is physically and physiologically demanding. However, tennis can last more than 5 hours in some extreme cases like Grand Slam and Davis Cup matches. There's a lack of literature when quantifying such extended matches. Professional players mainly would benefit in having knowledge of fatigue development in these conditions and how it evolves during matchplay, as well as during competition weeks. To try to contextualize these doubts, Reid & Duffield (2014) offer us an interesting review on fatigue, putting together information and possible future areas of study for unanswered questions.
Professional players should be prepared for a typical situation that happens during tournament weeks and especially when playing Grand Slams. This involves scenarios of the potential of 4-5+ hour matches and the possibility of playing 7 matches in a two week period, with only 24-49 hours of rest between each match. Fatigue occurs: the challenge for everyone is to determine the amount of fatigue and the impact it has on performance, recovery and possible injury. It's unclear if players experiment movement changes, poor technique or reduced cognitive performance. Fatigue responses (i.e. an athlete's physiological profile) can be divided into changes in mechanical, contractile and cognitive characteristics:
Physiological profile:
Researchers have studied internal load parameters that are produced during tennis. This information is summarized briefly below. Most of this data is based on matches lasting 120 minutes or less:
Movement characteristics: Although literature is clear in quantity (around 8-12m per point and 600-800m per set) and duration (<10 seconds per point), movement patterns variations produced by fatigue is unclear. While it's known that certain technical approaches have different oxygen costs it remains dubious if movement patterns change due to fatigue. Other factors may contribute as well (surface type, game style or tactical decisions). What is confirmed is that over 4 hours of prolonged matchplay and then again after 3-4 consecutive days of matchplay there is a reduction in overall movement patterns: 5% within respective days and 15% from day 1 to day 4. Whether this profile represents fatigue, or alternatively, a deliberate change in game style, isn't clear and should be investigated in the future.
Changes in mechanical, contractile and cognitive characteristics: Studies have observed decreases in serve and groundstroke velocity during training and matches, as well as following training/matches. Despite these results, previous studies also found that the reductions in velocity were not necessarily accompanied by decrease in accuracy. This suggests that many tennis players adapt to the fatigue, by reducing the pace of the ball, but maintain accuracy. This is makes theoretical sense as it holds to the speed accuracy trade-off. In addition to these results, most of the studies were performed in simulated environments rather than in "real" competition situations. While these findings were unclear to determine if fatigue itself affects mechanical aspects like the groundstrokes, studies also indicate that velocity and accuracy can be altered during matchplay by expert players. With so many doubts, the most appropriate advice we can give and that is supported by these studies is to train for these type environments through a combination of tennis-specific strength training to allow for repeated stroke and movement mechanics over an extended period of time.
Contractile function seems to clearly reduce its function following prolonged tennis matchplay in addition to reduced neuromuscular function, particularly of the lower body, during matchplay greater than 2 hours and over consecutive days of matchplay. If this altered function precedes the reduction in movement activity profiles or relates to the accumulating physiological load remains unknown. A well-organized training program enhancing muscle resistance and function, as well as neuromuscular stimulation, should theoretically result in less reductions of these parameters.
Cognitive aspects such as perception of fatigue are also interesting in which to comment. Simulated and matchplay situations result in elevated ratings of perceived exertion, muscle joint soreness and suppressed mood states. Recent data reveals that cognitive load relates directly to physical exertion of on-court tennis training although few studies report these variables in competitive scenarios. What does seem to be clear is that there is a reduction in motivation that's part of the fatigue process irrespective of the capacity of the muscle to contract which we've discussed above these lines. We can also highlight increased RPE and mental exertion to prolonged matchplay and increased error rates throughout longer or more taxing drills. This may mean that motivation and exertion are affected by the physical state, and thus alterations in stroke play and/or movement patterns. Nevertheless, motivation to perform within research settings is distinct from the motivation to perform within competitive scenarios.

Researchers often recommend a split step as a preparatory motion to enable quick movement for the next shot. Given that the majority of tennis strokes are hit under time pressure, it seems essential to provide the athlete with the best way to react and respond to these kind of situations. This post is focused on a 2014 research study by Nieminen and colleagues.
Nine healthy tennis players participated in a choice reaction test. The test consisted of reacting to a LED light stimulus and to move in that direction as fast as possible using the pivot step (moving out with the outside leg in the direction of the ball) as first step. Test was conducted with split step option and no split step option before the first step. Measurements taken during this test were: a) response time; b) force production time; c) total reaction time; d) horizontal and vertical mean forces; e) time to photocell. Apart from the measurements given from the choice test, other parameters were taken into account. Maximal Voluntary Contraction (MVC), Rate of Force Development (RFD), stretch-reflex and excitability of the motor neuron were registered. All these parameters would examine possible advantages of the split step over non-split step conditions and how force production capabilities, reflex sensibility and muscle activation patterns of leg muscles differ between situations.
We will divide results in two categories: time parameters and neuromuscular variables. Concerning time, in split step condition, response time, total reaction time and photocell time were significantly shorter (meaning faster) than with the no-split step condition. No differences were observed in the force production time. Observing the data available from the force plate we see that split step also produced greater vertical and horizontal peak and mean forces (more ground reaction forces). Neuromuscular variables highlighted that vertical and horizontal forces correlate negatively with the time from onset of force production to the photocell in the split step condition. Also forces correlated directly with the athlete's RFD.
Split Step: Time registrations reveal that the split step was faster than no split step condition. This is related to timing of landing so players must be effective calculating when to execute the split step in order to make it effective. Also important is the split step technique, which includes greater forces on further foot from intended target and a pivot step to reach further and faster. Split step also developed greater forces. This may be explained by stretch reflex and elastic energy mechanisms (SSC). This study showed substantial pre-activation in some muscles before landing which is typically associated with reflex potentiation and stiffness regulation.
Non-Split Step: During this situation players leaned forward and dorsiflexed the foot, requiring greater anterior tibialis activation to enable ankle function. This preparatory movement is not as effective as the hop with split step. Although it seems a worse choice, in some occasions, split step can't be used due to lack of time and/or improper timing. In these cases, it's interesting that players have a well-developed strength base in anterior tibialis and vastus lateralis, muscles in charge and more involved in force production in these situations.
In conclusion, split step is faster and more effective if performed with proper timing. It generates more force due to the SSC and relies on its performance. Ankle function seems to have the greatest importance with split step. Now we can offer some practical applications based on information that we've been able to extract from the study review such as enhancing ankle function, strength on specific muscles, split step technique or SSC workout. When training athletes to move better it is important to work on Anterior tibialis strength, ankle range of motion to allow for more pronounced ground contacts.

Backhand groundstrokes are gaining importance in modern tennis. 20 or 30 years ago, many players had weaker backhands than forehands. In the modern game it is very difficult - some may argue impossible - to play at the highest levels without a strong backhand. While studies and investigations have focused more on the serve and the forehand, the backhand is becoming one of the big changes in tennis over the past few decades. The one-handed backhand was almost the only option before the 1980's, but nowadays some of the best players in junior, collegiate and professional tennis can master the two-handed backhand without losing tactical versatility. Many coaches only teach the two handed backhand as they feel it provides an advantage over a one handed backhand. This implies the need for coaches to understand the differences and performance factors of these two actions.
To prove the importance of the backhand, studies have compared factors such as ball velocity or accuracy compared to forehand results. Part of the literature doesn't find any differences while other papers do find higher accuracy or speed with the forehand. Investigations must go further and try to study different levels and situations.
Focusing on the two variations of the backhand, literature is even more inconclusive showing few differences between one and other options. This suggests coaches shouldn't prejudice any choice regarding which stroke to use based on speed or accuracy. Kinematic differences between each backhand needs to be appreciated and put together in the context of each individual player and their needs.
If we divide the backhand stroke into its three common phases (Ryu et al. 1988) we find:
Preparation phase: displacement of the racket backward until the initial movement of reversing the direction forward. (Figure 1).
Acceleration phase: from the start of the racket forward displacement until the ball contact. (Figure 2).
Follow through phase: from the contact point with the ball until the end of the racket forward movement. (Figure 3).
Following this classification, every phase has its differences between the one-handed backhand and the two-handed backhand.
Concepts offered above can be used as a guide to help with correct technique – whether the athlete uses a one or two handed backhand. Bad execution of strokes is a major reason for many injuries. Different kinematic patterns we've seen offer different injury profiles which we will go over next.
As the one handed backhand relies more on upper-body rotation instead of trunk, injuries are many times seen in elbow and wrist related problems. A correct transfer of the momentum from proximal to distal segments (from trunk to hand) is essential in preventing these problems, as well as a specific strengthening program for wrist extensors and pronator teres. Adequate grip size selection based on age and hand size can also help.
Regarding the two-handed backhand, the direction of the foot relative to the net when playing a closed stance can influence the risk of ankle inversion sprain and heightens the stress on the knee. The authors of this one review recommend placement of the foot approximately 45º angle relative to the baseline to facilitate body rotation and decrease stress on the hip, knee and ankle joints. Strengthening programs specifically for these areas could also help and prevent injuries.
In conclusion, backhand selection shouldn't be conditioned by differences in velocity, speed or ball accuracy, but based on kinematic factors, coordinative abilities and general skills of the player. Knowledge of correct execution and specific movement patterns and strokes help to limit injuries and will allow for more effective prevention programs and preparation workouts.

This study proposed the development plan of a novel aerial-to-ground remote sensing (AGRS) system for surveying the land scenes of interest. Specifically, the AGRS system is composed by integrating an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imaging system and a mobile mapping system (MMS), onboard whose platform a control station is also added. The UAV-MMS-collaboration can be classified into two modes - loosely and tightly, respectively related to two efficacy levels of the AGRS - fine-scale mapping in general and target investigating in special cases. The latter scenario can be illustrated by the tasks of fast-responses to the time-critical events, e.g., seeking the accessible roads into disaster areas. These all pose challenging issues. To ensure the premise for AGRS development, a field test was carried out in prior to examine the collaborative effect between its two RS-functional modules. Two typical topics were explored, i.e., self-indicated orthorectification of the UAV images and landcover classification based on information fusion. The final positive results have basically validated the feasibility of the development of the AGRS system.

VMware CTO talks about R&D plans for the future
On April 4 Stephen Herrod, VMware's CTO, has attended, as guest speaker, at a VMUG meeting in Italy.
One of the key point of the speech, documented in one hour-long seven-part video series, was the need to increase the automation and integration between VMware's various products, topic about which Herrod reassured those present confirming VMware's awareness of the problem.
Of this long speech the statement that has inflamed internet is
VMware Cloud Infrastructure Suite is really more of a marketing term. Those of you know our products deeply know that they don't fit this well together as they need to. Some of them have multiple databases, some don't look the same, some install differently, and what I can't stand that is Site Recovery Manager doesn't currently work with vCloud Director. So, what we are basically able to say is that we created and acquired companies that led to a lot of individual products that don't work well enough together yet.
as reported by Dave Northey on Microsoft's TechNet blog.
Re-inserted in the context and completed with the last assertion
So a huge focus for the company is really how we make it become a suite.
as cleverly noted David Marshall in his article, this confirm the awareness of VMware and the will to solve the problem, as mentioned before.
What Herrod said simply describes the reality of a company that has acquired a variety of technologies from different companies and now is struggling to reunite them together in one or more suites, what we can certainly say is that the new position of prominence of vCOPS and the new integrations provided by VMware's partners are a signal of a new path towards the light.

The Marriots have gotten a make over. They are very nice, and appear "condensed." We booked this particular Marriot because our son was playing in a tournament in Hershey. The fields were in Hershey... not Harrisburg, but it was really only a 15-20 min trip to the field/Hershey Park.
We had two queen beds which were large and very comfortable. The room was clean and updated. I loved the Paul Mitchell shampoos and conditioner. We are Marriot reward members, so I requested extra towels and they came right away. I think they would have come without a rewards member status!
The ONLY things i would change: The woman at the front desk, when we checked in late on Friday, seemed to be annoyed or pre-occupied. She didn't smile. Granted, everyone is entitled to a bad day and it was HOT and late (9:30) but I've stayed at a lot of hotels and many of them Marriots and the front desk person is usually pretty upbeat. Regardless, it was fine. She wasn't rude, just seemed annoyed.
The other thing I would change is the leaving the "restaurant" - which is really a coffee bar type setup, open longer. I was dying for a late cup of coffee to sip while charging my phone in the lobby, and I stood at the counter and when no one showed, I turned to the front desk person (it might have been the same woman previously mentioned!) and asked for help and she said, somewhat dismissive, "Oh, they're closed. Open tomorrow morning," and she walked away. Truly not a big deal, but would have been nice to have a coffee or even a drink.
Speaking of charging my phone...I left my wall plug home by accident and could only charge using a USB port. There weren't any in the room or on the TV. A MINOR inconvenience but ...I was able to charge it in the lobby on the computer.
All in all, a good experience.

In this paper, we report an experimental study on electrochemical anodization using different acidic electrolytes of high purity Ti thin film deposited on silicon substrate by sputtering. The dependence of pore morphology and pore formation rate on process parameters was evaluated. In order to investigate the crystallization, after anodization, samples were annealed in a quartz tube furnace at different temperatures using nitrogen gas for annealing. The influence of electrolyte composition and annealing temperature on the nanostructure and morphology of the oxide layer and the changes induced by the heat treatment, were also investigated by SEM, FTIR and Raman spectroscopy. TiO2 film was doped with phosphorus and palladium to improve electrical conduction.
