On the mark with Mark
By Head Tennis Pro How to finish your ground strokes Learning the correct completion of your shots is essential for a successful game of tennis. If you finish them consistently in the correct manner, then many elements MUST have been correct during the swing. In other words, if you have a proper follow-through, more often than not, you’ll have hit the ball well. For the forehand, finish with the butt of the racket pointing to the other side over your shoulder, with your hand of your opposite arm coming up and grabbing the throat of the racket. For the two handed backhand, make sure you finish as well over your shoulder with both hands grabbing the racket as you point the butt of the racket to the other side. By doing the follow-through you will be able to achieve the “topspin” needed as well as maintaining the acceleration to achieve maximum velocity of the ball. We will cover topspin next time.
ICE cell phone plan To its owner, the cell phone is an indispensable lifeline at times of crisis, reuniting loved ones separated by unforeseen events at the touch of a button. But for members of the emergency services making life-and-death decisions, the cell poses a conundrum. Which of the numbers stored in its electronic address book should they call to reach a casualty's next of kin? Now a simple initiative, conceived by a paramedic in Britain, has gained momentum on both sides of the Atlantic to solve the problem. Cell users are urged to put the acronym ICE (In Case of Emergency) before the names of the people they want to designate as next of kin in their cell address book, creating entries such as "ICE — Dad" or ICE — Dr. Morrison." Paramedics, police and firefighters often waste valuable time trying to figure out which name in a cell phone to call when disaster strikes. They must look through wallets for clues, or scroll through cell address books and guess. Sometimes dialing the number for "Mom" or "Dad" might not be appropriate, particularly if they are elderly. Don't let the negative aspects deter you; just keep them in mind. Your next of kin's address and phone number could be accessed by someone other than a member of the emergency service or the information could become out of date. Or worse — you don't want them to call the ex.

Reflections reach onto the tennis court
The avid tennis player's topic, "Psychiatry: Personal Reflections & Recent Advances," brought the Grove Isle residents to the BayView Room of the Grove Isle Hotel & Spa. The occasion was billed "Second in a series of discussions with Michael Hughes, MD" as part of the cultural program of the Grove Isle Club scene. Dr. Hughes is a graduate of the University of Notre Dame, magna cum laude, and the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine. He completed his internship in internal medicine at the Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons, residency in general psychiatry at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine, and a fellowship in child and adolescent psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. He taught at Harvard and the Children’s Hospital in Boston for 10 years where his particular interests were psychosomatic medicine and psychic trauma.
Michael then moved to Miami and served as Director of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the University of Miami School of Medicine where he continues on the voluntary faculty as Clinical Professor of Psychiatry. He served as Chairman of the Committee on Private Practice for the American Psychiatric Association, chairman of the State Psychiatric Society, has published more than 80 articles and book chapters in the medical and psychiatric literature, and is listed in the publication Best Doctors in America. He is now in private practice working with children, adolescents, adults and families — often testifying as an expert witness on medical-legal issues.
Dr. Hughes enjoys sharing his reflections on a career in psychiatry, reviewing the evolution of the field and discussing recent advances. "Audience participation is encouraged," he quips. And still he finds time to attend to his other fascination — tennis. His formidable prowess on the tennis court makes him a highly competitive and much sought-after partner on weekends when he joins his friends on the Grove Isle tennis courts in a friendly game of doubles.
Michael Hughes says that in his years of training and experience he learned, as Mark Twain said, "The trouble in the world is not with what we don't know but with what we know for sure."
