...should play with his left hand to impart unusual southpaw spin. Toni then encouraged, or perhaps failed to correct, the extreme grip Nadal uses, and the unusual way he swings his racquet. To this day, instead of using the forward momentum of his body to generate pace on his forehand as the training manuals recommend, Nadal falls backward from the net on his forehand, whipping his racquet behind his head instead of across his body. This movement results in looping shots that keep an opponent heaving balls back, often on the run, in a nightmare from which only an error...
...year-old high-level e-commerce executive in the Pacific Northwest - we'll call him Bob - felt he was losing his edge. Although his colleagues saw him as a star, he feared he wouldn't be able to continue the lightning pace and constant multitasking his job required. So he saw his doctor. Now Bob takes Adderall, a prescription amphetamine ordinarily used to treat attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD...
...will depend on how well the protections work. The Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument officially bans any material that might damage corals or sea life, but ocean currents still sweep 57 tons of garbage a year into the protected area - and cleanup efforts, hampered by budget reductions, can't keep pace.

"Actually following through on this will be a real issue," says Diane Regas, managing director of the oceans program at the Environmental Defense Fund...
Obama knows that just beyond the flashbulbs, a darkening storm hangs over the nation. The national and global economies continue to deteriorate at a terrifying pace. The ISM Manufacturing Index, a key measurement of domestic production, hit a 28-year low in December. Payrolls fell an additional half million last month, leading economists to predict that the total job losses in 2008 were greater than at any point since the immediate aftermath of World War II. The housing-price free fall has yet to show any clear sign of stabilization...
...with hot shooting from the floor, with the Crimson gaining an early, but short-lived, advantage. Berry, Finelli, and Rollins all hit jumpers—with Berry adding a three-pointer for good measure—en route to a 10-6 lead after four minutes. The Gauchos kept pace, and while one of Matera’s threes gave Harvard a five-point lead with 7:41 to go in the half, the Crimson entered the locker room with just a two-point edge. Green paced UCSB with 10 of her 16 points before the break. The two squads...
