How should you cover the court in a tennis doubles match?

Covering the court during a doubles match is very different from covering the court during a singles match. First, you have more tennis court to cover. Secondly, you have to figure out how to move around and cover the court with your doubles partner. The key is to move around the court together as a team. Maybe you play the ad (backhand) side. Your partner is pulled out wide for a forehand. You need to side shuffle along with them in their direciton because the center of the court needs to be covered. Your partner will probably hit a defensive shot. You will have to step in and recover your opponent

Why would your husband keep sleeping with you when he cheats on you with younger single women as if he were single and why hasn't he left you?

Your husband wants his cake and eat it too, and you are giving him just that! Some men get off on having two women in their lives, but 98% of us don't like to share. Let him know that! It's time you got tough and put your foot down. I highly doubt he will change his old habits, and although this isn't easy for you it's time that you packed his bags and have them waiting for him at the front door (after you have seen a lawyer!) I think you know in your heart that what he is doing is wrong and you must feel miserable and angry. Angry at yourself for putting up with it so long. We can all stay with a mate simply because we feel it's better than living alone or perhaps we don't seem to have the energy to change things, but sooner or later we get to a state of mind where we know we deserve better. I do know how you feel because I left my first husband for doing the same thing your husband is. Odd, but he was begging to come back, but too much water had gone under the bridge and I kept on walking. I have never looked back in anger or regret and I only keep looking ahead. I have been married to a wonderful man for 33 years and have known him 38 years. The same could happen to you if only you would give it a chance. Good luck Marcy

How much money does a newscaster earn?

45,000-75000 dollars a year! but as you get more involved in your career and have been doing it for a couple of years, the salary will increase and if you get lucky.... and you have a pretty face, you might get a t.v. show named after you and then make over a million dollars a year!Casey

You won't make $45,000-$75,000 simply as a reporter until you get to a television market the size of a Cincinnati, San Diego, Baltimore, Portland, etc... Speaking from experience. I'm in my third year anchoring and reporting in a medium-to-small sized market and have yet to crack the $25,000 a year mark. That's pretty standard for a starting reporter in about the 150 smallest markets in the U.S. The ceiling for those markets usually won't ever get above $40,000 even for the most experienced reporters (again, if they're just a "reporter"). However, if we're talking NBC Nightly news correspondent - that salary has 7-figures... which is why this $25K a year guy is sticking it out!
