Minneapolis-St. Paul is holding its own in the race to attract young professionals, thanks to ample jobs and a reasonable cost of living.

Partly because they are smallish cities in a major metro area but with a teeming university campus sprawling across both of them, demographer Frey found that Minneapolis and St. Paul are the nation's fifth-youngest when lined up against the primary cities in other metro areas. They're in the same league with college towns such as Austin, Texas, and Columbus, Ohio.

The Twin Cities area as a whole, his analysis showed, stayed even in its share of under-45s during the past decade, even as many others fell: not just Rust Belt cities like Akron or Milwaukee but more happening cities such as Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco.

Li beats defending champ Schiavone at French Open to give China 1st Grand Slam tennis title

Article by: HOWARD FENDRICH , Associated Press

PARIS - As China's Li Na tossed the ball while serving at match point in the French Open final, a cry from a fan in the stands pierced the silence at Court Philippe Chatrier.

Distracted, Li stopped and let the ball drop. The words of support were in Mandarin: "Jia you!" — which loosely translates to "Let's go!" After so many years of "Come on" and "Allez" and "Vamos," there's a new language on the tennis landscape.

Divorce hard on grade-schoolers' test scores

Thursday, 02 June 2011 17:10 chinagold

Article by: JEREMY OLSON , Star Tribune

Grade-schoolers show a decline in math and social skills when parents divorce - not in months before split.

Divorce can have a severe impact on children -- hurting their performance in math, increasing their anxiety and short-circuiting their social skills -- but not necessarily as soon as families and family therapists expect it.

While research has shown that children struggle with divorce, a study released Thursday by the University of Wisconsin-Madison is one of the first to determine just when those struggles emerge.

Reviewing the test scores and social well-being of 142 grade-school children with divorced parents, researcher Hyun Sik Kim was surprised to find no significant decline in the months leading up to their parents' divorces.

Even with lots of restrictions, buyers scooped up discounted airfares on domestic travel.

Sun Country Airlines hooked up with the popular Groupon phenomenon Wednesday, offering discounted fares of $180 on domestic flights and flights to Mexico for $320.

"This is the first time I've seen an airline do this," said Terry Trippler, an airline expert and owner of AirlineRulesToKnow.com. Groupon discounts, often for 50 percent or more, are more typically offered at restaurants and spas.

"It's a great marketing idea," Trippler added. "It's new, it's different."

Just hangin' out with aerial yoga

Tuesday, 31 May 2011 14:41 chinagold

Article by: SHEILA MULROONEY ELDRD , Special to the Star Tribune

The yoga world is being turned upside down -- literally -- with a gravity-defying form that is just starting to take off in the Twin Cities.

Suspended from the ceiling in fabric hammocks, six yoga students sway slightly, snug and relaxed in their red and blue pods.

"Let yourself hang," teacher Becky Stella reminds the aerial yoga class. "Let your belly release. Soften at the knees; swing side to side in unison with your breath."

It's twilight at the Yoga Center of Minneapolis, where Stella teaches what she believes is the only aerial yoga class in Minnesota, and possibly the Midwest.
