Which do you find more difficult to learn and play?
The answer is - S&F - Serve and Forehand lol.
Good answer, but I'd narrow it to Serve.
And to answer the OP, baseline for sure and that includes dealing with short balls or coming to the net.
You don't have to S&V, except maybe as a surprise factor.
Serve and volley is more difficult to learn and to execute in an effective way. Effective baseline tennis is also difficult, but IMO is more difficult to make S&V work.
Yeah, but that doesn't really answer my question. I'm asking which style is more difficult to learn.
Probably serving and volleying, unless you have a natural affinity for net play. I'm a decent net player, and I serve and volley in doubles, but my skills up there aren't good enough to come in off the serve in singles. I win most of my points with consistent, heavy topspin groundstrokes through I will come in off an approach shot.
that is the easiest style out there. most americans do use that style (roddick, isner, Harrison, blake, raonic, sock).
however with today's slow Courts that style more and more gets into a disadvantage. Players like fed do have great serves and FHs but also great movement and BHs.
I think the time when big slugging serve and FH Bombers can win is over. the last of them was probably Fernando gonzalez, although his BH got better in the end too. but in the 00s that was a really common style.
At the pro level, the baseliners are the best, does that answer your question?
Very hard to learn to play like Djokovic.
Even at club level, are you sure it's easy to learn to play well with your groundstrokes? And move very well? etc.
BTW no Player grew up learning S&V. all the S&V Players also were excellent baseliners. I'm pretty sure most of them played mostly baseline Tennis till about 15/16 because before that Age the serve is usually not strong enough to make S&V work but the court for passing is just as big.
I know that sampras and becker played mostly baseline as Kids. no Player can succeed without a very good baseline Play, even karlovic has vry good groundstrokes (but he cannot use them against ATP Players because his feet are too slow).
every Player in history grew up learning baseline Tennis first. the only difference now is that they don't learn much else mostly (unless guys like federer or haas).
Serve and volleying requires a go-hard attitude and willingness to take risk. Not everyone is cut out for that though which is why there are few good S&V players.
However, in terms of difficulty, I think serve and volleying is a little easier than baseline play. You serve and follow it up to the net to win the point in 1-2 shots. There are less things that you have to worry about I feel.
Baseline play requires you to worry about directionals/short balls/net clearance. There is a lot more strategizing here. This is all my opinion of course, it'll vary from person to person.
I think if the person is an athlete, willing to learn,
and willing to take some risk I think S&V can be taught successfully up to the very highest of levels
I think there's a lot of strategy involved in serve and volley play. The placement of the serve is all the more important, along with the decision you face every point of where to go with the first volley. Just because the points are shorter doesn't mean there is less strategy.
I think it's more difficult to learn WHEN to come in, and WHEN to stay the f*** back and just chill.
I think to serve and volley you need to have a reasonable half volley and I think this is the hardest shot to learn.
more importantly you need a live arm. most S&V Players since the early 90s have been guys with booming serves. there are guys like rafter and Edberg but most have been huge Servers that could serve 135+.
philipoussis, karlovic, ruesedski, goran and Krajicek haven't even been great volleyers but they could bomb serves. basically their game revolves about hitting Service winners and killing weak replies at the net.
I agree. I think transitional play is the most difficult aspect of tennis, especially against today's fast dipping topspin shots. Even being up at the net, volleying is difficult against heavy topspin.
It's tougher to "learn" S&V because you have to get really good at serving. The hardest thing in tennis is to develop a dominating serve. Once you have one, the rest is pretty easy.
S&V also requires a different mindset. S&V players accept that they will lose a lot of points. You are playing aggressively and opening yourself up to getting passed. Not everyone is comfortable with that.
Here here.
Replies (whether weak or offensive) that land near your feet (especially as you're moving forward fast) are difficult to dispatch offensively.
most people can't even serve (and by serve I don't mean just get it in the box), even less can volley, 90% of the tennis population can't hit overheads, about 2% can hit half volleys.
I see plenty of people do it in doubles, I might have seen 1 person in the last 5 years do it effectively in singles. I see every hack play baseline tennis and I've seen plenty of great players play baseline tennis. There is a certain skill level needed to do this at a high level of play. There's a reason you don't see it, it's because people can't. I might see 1 in 1000 do it well. I do it on both 1st and 2nd serves yet I find it very very difficult to do in a singles match. To do it well in singles takes a certain cat like quickness 99.9% people don't have.
Also this is a ridiculously trivial question.
Ridiculous statement. What or whose standard do you go by to say that "most people can't even serve"? Last time I check just about everyone at my parks can serve and play tennis just fine.
Of course S&V is harder! Its a no-brainer. IMO anyway...
To effectively serve and volley you need a damn good serve that you can aim effectively, and put pace/spin on to force a short or floating return. Then a damn good net game, and an ability to position yourself properly when coming into the net.
At the lower levels, from the baseline you can play pusher tennis and dink the ball back...although dont get me wrong I think its a well crafted skill in itself to be able to just keep the ball in play and wait for an error from the opponent.
If S&V was easier to learn, then why does no one do it anymore?
I'd say that serve and volley is more easy to learn for a good athlete and with less coaching imo. It benefits from being unusual as well these days.
A good solid baseline game is quite unusual to see as it requires excellent movement, good TS on both sides, good slice on both sides and the ability to attack mid court balls as well.
Coming to net does require slice, volley and overhead, but you can use the easier kick serve. The slice and volley are virtually the same stroke and the overhead is just a modified, easier serve. Just my thoughts on it.
I do agree that S & V is a tough way to be a consistent winner in singles these days, but still think it is the quickest way to become a ok player and compete well for an athletic person. If you are just looking at rec and/or doubles, S&V fits very nicely.
Serve and forehand is not a 'style'!!!! Its simply putting away the short return from their massive serves either by hitting to the open court or hitting behind their opponent - this is basic tennis strategy!!!!
Rafter and Edberg used a kick serve every single time they came in. Worked very well for them obviously, but I don't think a lot of strategy went into that. Jmac would often serve to the backhand, and even though the opponent knew it was coming, he was able to execute very well and made it work.
There's less overall strategy in serve and volley than baseline play, IMO. And I do think it's because the points are shorter. The 20+ shot rallies we see today in the pro game requires a lot of strategic thinking.
There are so many more ways to win a point at the baseline vs winning a point at the net. The baseline point will often require 5-6 shots before you can put the ball away. With S&V this isn't the case. You can hit every single first volley without exception into the open court and do very, very well given you have a decent serve/volley.
I can see why people are saying that S&V is hard to learn, but in terms of just strategy, I think baseline play is harder, even if it's by a little bit. This isn't to diss S&V play either. I like the simplicity of S&V and I often play better when I "just do it" and don't over-think
My theory why:
1. It takes a person who is gutsy and isn't afraid to go for it. There are few people who are like this
2. People hit with a lot of topspin nowadays and it's difficult to volley back.
I wish there were more S&V players though. I saw two DI doubles players at an Open Tournament who often S&Ved and it was a breath of fresh air.
Simple actually: when your oppoent is forced off the court, when you get a floating return off your serve, or when you get a short ball - you can elect to come in to the net on the approach.
This is all basic strategy dude.
There is a ton more to it than you suggest here.
Well the difficulty in serve and volley is obviously not the srategy, just purely the high level of touch, reflex and skill it takes to hit effective half-volleys, volleys and overheads.
Yeah, I was being really general...easier said than done for sure
Yeah that's exactly what I'm saying. I think if your hitting too many half-volleys you're doing something wrong though. But yes I agree that half-volleys aren't easy at all
S&V you are going to get quite a few half volleys, but they are not that bad for someone accustomed to slice and volley,....especially given the practice you will get doing it, lol. Imo those skills are all very related and feed off one another.
If you've got a secret for handling half volleys I'm keen to hear! I often find I'm taking them close to the body, below the net level.
Serve & Volley is more difficult to "learn" in my view. In order to become successful at S & V, you have to not only learn the various skills required to succeed in that style...but you have to acquire anticipation of where the opponent's return is going and move forward to intersect the ball. Learning to anticipate where an opponent's ball is going involves a lot of trial and error. You can't learn to anticipate simply from being taught..you have to learn from experience...and that means getting passed...often. It's a learning process that is humiliating and discouraging for any player as you are being essentially being relegated to doing something that will inevitably result in failure more often than not...but is part of the learning process.
Most junior players I know have developed strong baseline games and can succeed reasonably well amongst their peers by exchanging ground-strokes. However, the moment you try to teach them how to S & V to introduce more versatility into their game...they inevitably falter and balk at being relegated to a losing proposition. Only a few have the skill, mind-set, and determination to persevere in learning a new style. From my experience and observation, S & V is definitely more difficult to learn for the simple fact that it is a skill that is typically taught AFTER someone has already developed a baseline game and players are less inclined to learn a new skill that has a high learning curve.
I agree with this. S & V is hard to use at higher levels without a dominating serve, but, for a big, athletic guy who has played other sports maybe and is taking up tennis, it is the quickest way to get competitive.
If someone has played say, baseball, volleying is not all that tough. If you played basketball or soccer, the movement is not all that tough. Once you learn to serve halfway decently, volley and hit overheads, you're good to go.
The thing about S&V is that you're always a threat even to a better player. You're forcing the action and making him hit passing shots. If a 4.5 is playing a 3.5 baseliner, he can just sit there and hit stuff back, not take any chances and win love and love. If that 3.5 is a 6'4 former basketball player who is on top of the net at every opportunity, the 4.5 is going to have to produce some shots.
yes but there are Players who only rely on serve and FH (like isner). a Problem is that very good and tall Juniors might dominate with that Approach and never feel the Need to work on the rest of their game.
I know a guy who was an early bloomer as a kid. he was very tall and strong at Age 14 and he had technically great strokes. because of that he could really crush the ball and blast winners left and right. he easily dominated Junior competition and was nationally ranked very high.
but when he started to compete with the adults he could never adjust because his shots were coming back. he still Plays (he is like 22 now) but could never live up to his potential as a kid. he does have great strokes and power but his movement and defense is not up to the same Standard (he also was a hot head and smashed Rackets).
I think learning to blast serves and hit FH winners behind it is important. Players like fed or nadal do it all the time.
but there is definitely a danger to rely too much on blasting opponents away especially if the kid is a tall and strong kid. that can backfire later as the competition gets better (just like winning Junior tournaments by moonballing which also will fail later).
there are quite a few 140 mph serve/100mph FH guys on tour who always lose against guys like david ferrer because their Approach doesn't work and then they have no plan B.
Wow. You got it exactly right. There is a long learning curve for the reasons you state plus you have to learn to hit high volleys, low volleys, shoe top volleys, half volleys etc. Fast balls, medium balls, no pace balls- they all get hit a bit differently. It is a mindset and a feel - there is a rhythym to it. Very very few juniors have the desire and commitment to learn it. Too bad because it is so much fun to play and an effective weapon in the tool kit.
How is this a question. I've never seen a 12 yo, 14 or even 16 yo do it correctly. I've seen like 1 woman in my time of watching tennis do it well, Martina. You can count on your hands the number of guys who could do it in singles. It's that tough a skill set. Besides all the tough low and half volleys, even the high service line volley is tough. Go watch how many players who can consistently put away the high float ball from service line or slightly behind it. You can probably count that number on 1 finger or less. It's not as easy as people think to do it consistently.
S and V is tough - and so is chip and charge. This is why it pains me whenever someone has trouble with a pusher - people are like take him to the net. Most of the time the victim of the pusher is terrible at the net - probably worse then the pusher..
Most people want to smash groundstrokes and stay at the baseline..
S&V, without question.
I think it depends on the player and the opponent you're playing. For me personally, when I feel a lot of pressure and get tight, my forehand is the first thing that breaks down. In these cases, I go to the net more often and win many more points at the net than staying back and hitting from the baseline.
At the net, it's all just refexes and feel (which are my strengths) vs. if I stay at the baseline, I have to deal with my weakness which is tightness under pressure and thinking too much.
Also if you play pushers who dont hit with a whole lot of pace, and generally dont have great passing shots, it's great coming to the net. In fact, I've recently discovered that this is my strategy for beating them. If I stay at the baseline with these guys, they'll just push and moon-ball until I make a mistake.
FYI, the question was about learning S&V as opposed to learning to play baseline, not playing when you already know how.
Undoubtedly, learning to hit forehands and backhands from the baseline is much easier than learning to serve and volley.
Lets ignore the serve for a second as that is essential for both.
Learning basic continental grip badminton style baseline shots is the easiest type of tennis. Volleying is actually a simplified version of this, so it is more of a natural progression from basic beginner technique serve and volley playing is probably easier for an absolute beginner. Big topspin forehands and heavy undercut slices on the other hand are much less natural movements, making them much harder to learn, which is why there are very few low level players with impressive groundstroke shots.
Go to the highest levels of the game and suddenly everyone has very sound technique it becomes about reaction times and movement. Then it is clearly much more difficult to learn to S&V effectively, as so many more pro players play from the baseline. This is because playing at the net makes it much more difficult to react in time, as the ball gets to you sooner, giving you far fewer options on how to position yourself and swing to hit the ball (try hitting an inside out buggy whip forehand at the net if you don't believe me). This means only those with very effective serves and great touch at the net can get away with serve and volleying repeatedly at higher levels, as only these players will get consistently easy volleys which they can put away easily.
There is more variety of styles in baseline tennis, so there are more ways you can build a game. In particular you can build strengths to cover most deficiencies from the baseline, but a good serve or adequate volleys will completely prevent success at S&V.
I agree with the points on the beginner technique, except that it might be hard to "learn" to get to the net fast
As for the top level, your last setence should probably read "the lack a good serve or adequate volleys will completely prevent success at S&V", correct?
I still think that at the top level also it's easier to learn S&V, as oposed to great baseline play....
I apologise, I don't have long computer time, and didn't read all the posts.
Of course, any net play involves a different grip, another whole set of strategy, that much more practice time, IN ADDITION to learning the baseline game.
If you are under 35 and playing a Modern game, you likely don't have to learn a baseline game, you already have one. The only thing you'd have to learn would be an all court game, such as S&V.
Though some players augment baseline play with serve and volley tennis, serve and volley tennis is often utilized because that player cannot win points in baseline rallies. Really solid, variety filled baseline tennis takes a lot of work (skill) as well as athleticism and stamina. Not all players are capable of pulling that off, so they choose to utilize more serve and volley tennis. For others, it's another tool in the toolbox in addition to a solid baseline game.
Just speaking from my own experience, serve and volley has been harder for me, both in terms of learning it and playing it. Not that I can actually do it (or anything else in tennis) very well yet with any consistency. But, you know, 'my version' of S&V vs 'my version' of baseline play. The S&V is harder.
It's not really "harder", but it does take double the time, which none of us has.
Let's say you're a good 3.5 baseliner. Took you 3 years to get there, didn't it? Now to learn to volley, might take you another 2 years of dedicated S/V tennis.
Meanwhile, you peer has practiced his baseline game TWO MORE YEARS than you have, because you were focused on S/V.
More weapons take more time to learn. And can't USE any new weapon until you learn it.
I'm not qualified to answer properly since I spend very little time at the baseline and live at the net. My guess it would be easier developing an average 3.5 pure baseline game as opposed to an average 3.5 pure S&V. Why?
Having a "good" serve is essential in S&V. Having that as a baseliner is not needed. A serve simply starts the rally. Further the opportunity to practice baseline skills is prevalent. Practicing volley and half vollies is a turn off for the guy feeding you and not as realistic practicing those against a wall.
At my humble level, I'm not so sure that one needs a better serve in order to S&V, b/c the opponents also get scared by you crushing the net....
Wait you said "good" not "better than your regular one, used in baseline play"! My point is only about relative to each other styles than.

Apple Doesn't Fall Far From Tree
Associated Press
KOHLER, Wis. (AP) – Given the chance to show that she had the game to match her famous family name, Cheyenne Woods did just fine.
Woods shot a 3-over 75 in the first round of the U.S. Women's Open on July 12 – a round that wouldn't quite measure up to the best days of her uncle, Tiger Woods. But it wasn't bad for a 21-year-old recent Wake Forest graduate who just turned professional and is playing in her first Open.
"I feel pretty good about my round overall," Woods said. "It's a tough course, and I'm just happy to have survived."
The crowd at Blackwolf Run certainly knew about Woods' famous family ties. Woods said she heard occasional whispers coming from the crowd and had her share of fan support.
"Everyone out here has been really, really supportive, cheering us on," Woods said. "I'll give them props for coming out today, because it's definitely hot out there."
Woods grew up in Arizona and is used to temperatures over 100 degrees – but the combination of high temperatures and humidity was challenging.
"I'm a little drained after that almost six-hour round, but I'm just happy to be here and excited to be a part of the U.S. Open for the first time," Woods said.
Woods was 3 over through nine holes, then had back-to-back birdies, only to finish with bogeys on two of her last three holes.
"I felt like I held in there pretty good," she said. Woods said she expected to hear from her uncle later in the day.
"He's always been supportive of my career and excited that I'm taking this next step," Woods said.
Earlier this week, Woods said she isn't shying away from the famous family association, despite the expectations that might come along with it.
"I wouldn't really say that they're negatives, the expectations and the pressure, because I've grown up with that," Woods said. "And I think that it has helped me get to where I am today and prepare me for this next level, because it is a lot more pressure playing out here for money, playing in front of a crowd. The camera is on you at all times. So I think that has helped me."
Besides, she said, there are plenty of plusses to having her uncle on speed dial."He's the best player in the world and I have him at my fingertips if I need help," Woods said. "So it's nice to have."
Reportedly her grandfather, Earl Woods Sr., introduced the game to her at a very early age just as he did with Tiger. She first watched her uncle play from a baby stroller in 1992.
"That was the first time I ever watched," she said. "I don't remember it, but I was there."
Woods said she has turned to Tiger for occasional swing advice, but mostly relies on him for emotional support.
"Not necessarily advice, but support," she said. "That's probably the biggest thing I can get, his support. Knowing he's excited I'm here and that feels good he's there to support."
Through watching her uncle, she quickly developed a love of golf – and the skills she hopes will turn it into a career.
"It's something that I always wanted to do since I was five years old and I started playing golf," she said. "Watching Tiger play as I grew up, I knew I wanted to get out there one day. When I did graduate from Wake Forest, I knew that was the next step. It was the next step in my career, and hopefully I'll be here for a while."
And she said she's ready for the expectations and comparisons to continue, even if she doesn't think they're valid.
"I mean, I've always said that I'm going on my own path," she said. "I have my own progression that I've taken. And just accomplishing my goals and doing what I can do, because Tiger is a very elite athlete. Not everybody can be Tiger Woods. So I just do what I can do to be the best that I can."
Na Yeon Choi of South Korea won this year's Open after shooting a 73 on July 15 to finish at 7 under, her first major LPGA tournament victory. Amy Yang, also from South Korea, had a 71 to finish second.

Relationship WHOA's! The Dating Chronicles Of Keyshia Cole
We all know that these two lovebirds could have been the King and Queen of ATL (Keysh is from Oakland but lives in Atlanta), but communications got crossed and things got messy in 2008. She claims that she declined the rapper's offer to marry her, while Jeezy maintains that she asked his hand and marriage and he let her down. All in all, this wasn't a happy ending.

The sun shining on Bistro Henry
Owner Henry Bronson said they have plans to build 10 solartracking panels, which will generate 85,000 kilowatts of power to Green Mountain Power. The kilowatts will run through a net-metering system, being sent straight to GMP's grid before being sent out to the restaurant, Bronson's house, and the Inn at Manchester.
"Henry just approached us about the project and we said 'sure, why not,'" said Julie Hanes, co-innkeeper of the Inn at Manchester. "With us, we really like the idea of solar power, and there is really no reason not to do it. It's a no-brainer."
"I chose them because I knew they would get it, are basically not my competition, are stable as a business, and I like [Innkeepers] Frank and Julie," said Bronson.
While she was not sure how the numbers might fluctuate, depending on the amount of sun received on a given day or the amount used by the restaurant from day to day, approximately 20 percent of the power would be going to their Inn, Hanes said.
The panels will be installed by AllEarth Renewables and Green Lantern Capital Investment, on the west end of the property to maximize the exposure to the sun.
"We're pretty lucky," said Bronson. "We have the land to do it exposure on the west side and the will to do it."
They have been able to complete the project due to an issuance of a Certificate of Public Good by the state. This certificate states that the project, one of an electric generation or transmission facility, promotes the general welfare of the state.
Bronson said that they hope to begin work on it within the next two weeks to a month.
Manchester may be seeing more solar projects in the future thanks to the select board's approval of Zoning Administrator Lee Krohn's Request for Proposal (RFP).
Early in the week, Krohn sent out an official request letter for solar-powered generation on town-owned lands. The proposals must include information on ten points, including locations to be considered, generating capacity, timeframe for construction and other contractual obligations, and life expectancy of equipment. Letters of interest that include experience and other qualifications, references, and work product examples must be included as well.
The proposals are due by noon on July 29, when they will be opened, reviewed, and considered.
This comes in the wake of the former potential solar project off Route 7, next to the Manchester Airport. In late April, a representative from EOS Ventures came to the town with a proposal to build a large solar farm in that area. The board gave him permission to place a bid with Vermont's SPEED Program; the bid, if it was a winning bid, would allow him to claim a certain amount of megawatts for their project. If it was not a winning bid, and after the winner claimed their megawatts, what remained would be available for the next-place winner to claim.
EOS Ventures did not secure a winning bid, and was not able to claim any megawattage for the solar project in Manchester. Currently, the land next to the airport, where the project was slated to go, remains unused.

Multiple Cause of Death, 1999 (ICPSR 3473)
Principal Investigator(s): United States Department of Health and Human Services. National Center for Health Statistics
This data collection includes information about the cause of all recorded deaths occurring in the United States, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas during 1999. Data are provided concerning underlying causes of death, multiple conditions that caused the death, place of death, residence of the deceased (e.g., region, division, state, county), whether an autopsy was performed, and the month and day of the week of the death. In addition, data are supplied on the sex, race, age, marital status, education, usual occupation, and origin or descent of the deceased. In addition to the combined Territory Public-Use file (Part 2), a subset based on state of occurrence has been created for Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam, and Northern Marianas. Mortality detail data for 1999 also can be extracted from this file. The mortality detail records are contained in the first 159 positions of these multiple cause records. The multiple cause of death fields were coded from the MANUAL OF THE INTERNATIONAL STATISTICAL CLASSIFICATION OF DISEASES AND RELATED HEALTH PROBLEMS, TENTH REVISION (ICD-10), VOLUMES 1, 2, AND 3.

efforts very soon in view of this the state depart ment is examining every scrap of po litical news from germany with that keen analysis that usually is applied only by general staffs to news of a military character from an enemy country from which information of strength and strategic movements is deduced ministers morris at stockholm egan at copenhagen stovall at berne and charge d'affalres marshall lang home at the hague have been in structed it is said to cable promptly every bit of information from ger many available at those points germany's internal moves watched assertions in washington to-day eonfirm my dispatch of august 2d — that a change in the german federal constitution making the chancellor j responsible to the reichstag would be regarded as evidence of germany's democratization in the sense of the president's answer to the pope and would clear the way to peace discus sions therefore what germany has done or is contemplating in the way of lemocratization is being followed with keenest interest efforts of the german socialists and liberals are being directed along two parallel lines the one is fed eral that is for all germany the other is prussian the aim ls the liberalization of both the federalist and state systems of government ln germany two reform plans under way the federal movement is for some form of government whereby the german people through the reichs tag have greater influence and con trol upon the actions of the central government preferably this is to de of a parliamentarian form the movement for the democrat ization of prussia is a part of the whole liberal campaign now in ger many tut yet distinct and separate it is the demand granted by the kai ser in july for abolition of the three class voting system in prussia and adoption of the direct equal and se cret ballot it means democratiza tion of prussia in every sense of the word numerous german socialist and lib eral leaders have expressed the belief that if prussia does away with the class system in voting the other ger man states must make the same re forms this also is the washington view official circles here point out that what president wilson stated in his

The opinion from the state's highest court came months after an attorney, Keith Hall, requested use-of-force reports in the case of an off-duty police officer who allegedly hit his client outside a Little Rock restaurant.
When Hall didn't get the records he asked for, he filed a petition against Little Rock Police Chief Stuart Thomas, claiming that Thomas violated the Freedom of Information Act.
Thomas argued that the reports are exempt from the public records law as employee-evaluation or job-performance records.
The matter made its way to a circuit court judge, who said the reports are not exempt from the public records law.
Thomas appealed that judge's decision, and the Supreme Court granted his request for a stay in the case.
In Thursday's opinion written by Associate Justice Robert L. Brown, the Supreme Court sided with the lower court judge and said the use-of-force documents are public record.
"We liberally interpret the FOIA to accomplish its broad and laudable purpose that public business be performed in an open and public manner," Brown wrote.
Chief Justice Jim Hannah agreed with the result of the opinion written by Brown, but offered his own analysis.
"Because the keeper of the requested records claiming the exemption failed to meet the burden of proof, I agree that the decision of the circuit court must be affirmed," Hannah wrote.
Hall was pleased with the court's decision.
"It was good for my client and good for transparency in government," Hall said Thursday night.
Lt. Terry Hastings, a Little Rock police spokesman, said the department has complied with the Supreme Court's opinion "and will be reviewing department policy as it may relate to the ruling in the future."


text: backIC grad to discuss the importance of developing a positive body image3.28.2013Educator, personal trainer and 2006 Illinois College graduate Tiffaney Rains will be on campus to discuss body image issues on Tuesday, April 2, at 8 p.m. in Kirby Learning Center, Room 6.In recognition of Body Image Awareness Week at Illinois College, Rains will be presenting "Mirror Image." Topics include body image, self-image, eating disorders, portrayal of women in the media and how these topics relate to developing healthy relationships. She will also share her personal journey through recovery from her own eating disorder and the stories of others that have had eating disorders and body image issues.A national college survey sponsored by the National Eating Disorder Association found a sharp increase in college students dealing with a form of disordered eating. Women in the survey jumped to 20 percent and men rose to 10 percent, with athletes being identified as a particularly underserved population on campus."Developing a positive body image is an important topic at any age, but especially for college students," Mallory Bejster, college health nurse, said. "There are many factors that can impact body image and disordered eating issues, many of which Tiffaney will be discussing during her presentation. The fact that Tiffaney is passionate about these topics and has a personal connection to them will help the students connect to the topic as well."Rains is currently a high school teacher and also works as a personal trainer and fitness instructor. She is finishing her master's degree in community counseling at Quincy University. This program is free and open to the public. For any questions contact Bejster at 217.245.3038 or email@example.com.

Feedpail.com was developed by Ryan Cooney to solve a technology gap in the industry. Cooney says "Producers size and needs have been changing for a long time and Feedpail.com fills a gap. If you go back 20 to 30 years producers bought almost all their needs from a feed company. About 10 to 20 years ago more producers started buying bulk feed ingredients and blending them on their operation. Today many producers have the capability to handle bulk feed ingredients and are active in the market." But that market has not changed. Bulk feed ingredients are bought and sold basically the same way they were 10 or 20 years ago. It can be a very time consuming and expensive process.
That is where Feedpail.com fills the technology gap. By allowing sellers to list their ingredients for sale with prices and availability that information is now available to producers 24 hours per day 7 days a week. By connecting buyers and sellers the website creates a much bigger network than any producer could otherwise access. This is giving producers a lot of options.
Launched in mid-April the site has been quickly growing. "There have been a few surprises along the way" Cooney says. "I expected producers to be able to make better purchasing decisions just by having faster and easier access to pricing. But producers are also taking advantage of the alternative ingredients they can now quickly find." Before the website if a producer wanted to look at an ingredient they never purchased before they had to invest a lot of time and effort to research pricing and supplies. But now Feedpail makes it extremely easy for producers to find ingredients.
"So maybe a producer can save some money by purchasing their regular ingredients better, but the really big savings comes when a producer can find an alternative ingredient they didn't have access to before" Cooney says. "It's like the website is bring speed to buying feed". By using the website producers are able to find pricing and availability much quicker on a broader range of ingredients.
The Feedpail.com website works by users listing pricing and availability by ingredient. Then buyers search for ingredients they want and can narrow that search down by region or state. Buyers can request to buy the ingredients at the asking price or offer a bid on ingredients. All buyers and sellers are kept anonymous until a price is agreed upon. Then the seller and buyer information is exchanged via email and they are left to finalize the transaction including make sure each party meets their terms, conditions and policies. "This way the website handles all the time consuming transactional stuff but buyers will still get personal attention and service from sellers" says Cooney.
There is no cost to buy or sell on Feedpail.com. Sellers can deliver their ingredients if they want, but if sellers don't provide trucking services buyers can get freight quotes through the website. Cooney is looking forward to the website continuing to grow and has been adding additional ingredients as they are requested. "Right now there are over 60 different feed ingredients listed that producers typically buy in bulk" Cooney says "and that number is likely to grow as the number of buyers and sellers continues grow. It's been exciting watching the market develop and seeing producers take advantage of the new tool."

Buehrle unhappy with two mistakes
Veteran Sox lefty feels walk in eighth inning 'unacceptable'
By Scott Merkin / MLB.com
That slider was delivered to Tampa Bay leadoff man Akinori Iwamura with one out, Jason Bartlett on first and the White Sox nursing a 2-1 lead. Iwamura launched the 1-1 offering into the left-center-field stands for a home run that basically put the Rays in front for good.
But to fall behind Upton with three straight pitches outside of the strike zone, especially with the White Sox down just 1 ... well, that's not part of Buehrle's repertoire. Upton eventually tripled to center, sparking a three-run rally to give the Rays a comfort zone.
"I made a bad pitch to Iwamura, and they took the lead," Buehrle said. "Going back out there for the eighth inning and falling behind 3-0 is pretty much unacceptable. It's a different game, and maybe we come back 3-2 instead of 6-2. It was a big leadoff hitter to get out."
Buehrle can be so hard on himself only because the expectations are so high whenever the southpaw takes the mound. He might not be considered the White Sox ace, per se. Not with Gavin Floyd producing 17 wins and John Danks having a slightly better 2008 season from start to finish.
His role takes on far greater significance. Buehrle stands as the heart of the pitching staff, which is why the White Sox felt so confident down one game with their heart beating in Game 2 of this best-of-five American League Division Series.
"That's why he's making $14 million," said White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen with a laugh. "That's why he's the leader. That's the reason that's the guy we pick for big games to survive.
Mark Buehrle had a history of Game 2 success during the White Sox run through the postseason in 2005. Chicago won all three games he started that October, and all of them played pivotal roles in the series victories. However, on Friday, he allowed five earned runs and 10 hits in seven innings, while striking out three Rays batters.
|Mark Buehrle's postseason outings in 2005: Date & Opp - Line (result)
|Oct. 5 vs. Red Sox, ALDS Gm. 2
|Oct. 12 vs. Angels, ALCS Gm. 2
|Oct. 23 vs. Astros, WS Gm. 2
|7 IP, 7 H, 4 R, 6 SO (ND, 7-6 win)
|Oct. 25 at Astros, WS Gm. 3
|0.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 3 pitches (SV, 7-5 win in 14 inn.)
On Friday, all Buehrle had just wasn't quite enough. Actually, Buehrle was far from the reason why the White Sox now sit one game away from elimination.
He struck out three and didn't walk a hitter in seven-plus innings. Buehrle probably should have been working with a four- or five-run lead instead of one if the offense could have come up with a clutch hit or two.
"Mark pitched great," White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski said. "His line really isn't going to reflect how well he pitched. He deserves a lot more credit by the way he threw that ball, by the way he kept us in that game. He probably deserved the win."
If the White Sox win the next two behind Danks and Floyd, then it's a safe bet Buehrle will pitch Game 5 on regular rest this Wednesday at Tropicana Field. If Friday was Buehrle's last start, he expressed satisfaction with his 2008 performance.
Another year on the mound with double-digit wins (15-12), at least 200 innings pitched, at least 30 starts and an ERA below 4.00. The heart of the White Sox will keep beating, only it might not be until Spring Training 2009, after setting the tone for '08.
"Set the tone? If I set the tone from Day 1, we would have been one of the worst teams in history," said a smiling Buehrle, who gave up seven runs on seven hits over 1 2/3 innings on Opening Day in Cleveland. "You try to get 20 wins, but I came up short. But I think I gave my team quality starts 24 of 34 times.
"I felt awesome [Friday], and the game was cruising along. Besides those two runs to Iwamura, that leadoff guy in the eighth inning, other than that, I threw the ball well."

Little Rock-based Entergy Arkansas Inc. and its corporate affiliate Entergy Operations Inc. of Jackson, Miss., which operates the two-unit, 1,823-megawatt nuclear power plant near London, filed a lawsuit July 12 in Pope County Circuit Court against Bigge Crane and Rigging Co., a California company contracted to design and operate a crane and trolley structure, or gantry, that would lift and move the almost 600-ton stator as part of replacement project while Arkansas Nuclear One's Unit 1 reactor was being refueled.
While the stator was suspended, the gantry collapsed and dropped the stator approximately 30 feet, killing 24-year-old Wade C. Walters and knocking the plant's Unit 2 offline.
Entergy claims Bigge Crane and Rigging Co. did not conduct a proper "load test" of the gantry and that other contractors working on the stator project "were all involved in the decision to not perform a load test, deciding instead to reply upon ... (an) inaccurate representation" of the gantry's load capacity. A letter from Bigge Crane and Rigging Co. included with the filing rates the gantry's safe lifting capacity as 577 tons.
Additional defendants named in Entergy's lawsuit include Claus Frederickson, a Bigge Crane and Rigging Co. employee and engineer who designed the gantry; VEI General Contractors of Russellville; DP Engineering of Fort Worth, Texas; and John Scroggins, an employee of DP Engineering.
Entergy says in the lawsuit the accident caused "significant structural damage" to the plant's turbine building and "substantial economic loss" from the unexpected outage of Unit 2, which went back online April 28, and the continuing outage of Unit 1.
Entergy's lawsuit follows a wrongful death suit filed 10 days earlier by Walters' mother and estate. Entergy Arkansas, Bigge Crane and Rigging Co. and DP Engineering are all named defendants in the lawsuit, which was also filed in Pope County Circuit Court by Susan Allen on July 2.
Entergy is represented by the Little Rock law firm Quattlebaum, Grooms, Tull and Burrow and has requested a jury trial.

UFC President Dana White continues to say what he's been saying for months: Yes, women will someday fight in the UFC.
White's latest confirmation came in an interview with SI.com in which the executive lauded Strikeforce bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey and identified her as the UFC's potential first female fighter.
However, barring the demise of Strikeforce, Rousey still owes her current fight promotion three fights.
"It's absolutely going to happen," White told SI.com when asked about a UFC women's division. And Rousey's move to the UFC? "Could happen tomorrow, it could happen a year from now," he said.
Of course, Rousey still has a contract with Strikeforce. Although the Zuffa-owned promotion has canceled its past two events, officials have promised a stacked January return to Showtime and suggested events could continue beyond that.
Showtime's two highest-rated Strikeforce broadcasts of 2012 both featured Rousey in the headliner, and the Olympic medalist's popularity is a big reason why White has softened his stance on women someday fighting in the UFC. Additionally, with Strikeforce and the all-female Invicta 3 promotion steadily creating some depth in the women's divisions, White's biggest concern is slowly being alleviated.
Rousey, meanwhile, has been inactive since her successful August title defense over ex-champion Sarah Kaufman. It marked her sixth straight pro win via first-round armbar.
Her next fight hasn't been booked, but as MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) recently reported, White is proponent of matching Rousey (6-0 MMA, 4-0 SF) with currently suspended ex-featherweight champ Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos (10-1 MMA, 4-0 SF), assuming the fighters can agree on a weight class.
For more on Strikeforce's upcoming schedule, stay tuned to the MMA Rumors section of the site.

I said I would clean-out & clean-up my craftroom by 1/1...took me all this time of steady working, but I got it done. Boy! Does it feel good!!! Let's see how long it lasts...I also vowed to finish UFO's that have been 1/2 finished for over 2 years (some as much as 5!--funny what you find when you clean out), I will start on those on Tues. First I want to finish the fun signs I'm making for my craftroom (will be pics in a couple of days). I also have at least a dozen quilts (mostly for charity, but a few to sell at shows) to quilt & bind, 1/2 doz. tablerunners for selling (all are from scraps & stash). They've been hanging around for most of the year. I have a Janome 6600 on layaway till Feb. & will do the quilts & runners with it. I have a Janome 9000 that is my workhorse & also quilts beautifully, but small throat area. I also have a Janome 300E & need to get back to my embroidery again. I also have a Viking Designer 1 that was bought 1 1/2 yr. ago & never turned on yet...I will learn how to use it this month, then will have to learn the 6600 next month. Also, have my craft inventory to get done by 3/1 for taxes. I also have to remake craftshow items (it's a one-of-a-kind booth, no 2 alike of anything, even multiple items) & I need to get my decorative clothing started also for the shows. I'm also in the process of an internet bi-monthly BOM & a weekly mystery quilt. Boy! Until writing this, I didn't realize just how busy this year is going to be!!! Sorry for the BOOK...I just had to let someone know I got that room cleaned up...hubby laughs & says it won't stay that way for long...get pics! Hope everyone's year is full of beautiful, creative things!!!

This is a very sobering account. The take home lesson is that teeneagers, associated with any level of drug abuse, CANNOT be trusted. The adults need to take charge, and not try to be their kids' friends. The parents need to become their jailors, if necessary.

I agree. This is an excellent article that all parents and kids should read.
Thank you, Dr. Ting, for the painfully honest account of what happened to your lovely daughter. These are real stories that our kids, who often think that they are invincible, need to hear. No one is immune to drug addiction.
And thank you for turning your heartbreaking experience into something so beneficial to our community.

Very powerful story. An Asian girl abusing cocaine? Talk about smashing stereotypes. All the more it underscores the fact that it can happen to anybody and we need to be vigilant.
Also, most chinese parents would find it a source of shame to be disclosing such private matters to the public. But Dr. Ting knows that by getting the word out, it can save lives. Much thanks.

Very sad story. We also lost our daughter 3 years ago to an oxycotin overdose. She had been to treatment centers in the bay area also.
Thank you for speaking out about your daughter. More people need to be talking about the epidemic of teen drug abuse.
Thankfully we sent our son to treatment at 16 and he has been sober for 2 years now.

I just recently found out about Esther's tragic passing... I was her driver...picking her up from school and to various lessons..etc. during her 10th- 11th grade year at Kings Acadamy. She was always such a vibrant and sweet young lady. Full of engery and anticipation...looking forward to her college experience. My heart aches at the passing of one so full of future promise. I will treasure the memories of her...little talks on the way to lessons and back home...her taking delight in listening to hip hop very loudly in my car...her engery and bright beautiful smile. Rest in Peace Esther...The angels surround you now. Dr. Ting...I know how very much you loved your Daughter and always wanted the best for her...I believe she's looking down from heaven and smiling at your devotion and perseverance in establishing the wonderful foundation in her name to help others. May God continue to comfort you here on earth until you reunite with your beautiful Daughter in the Heavens. Sincerely, Laura Page
