I'm looking for the following sound effect:
-> as if a spear/pin comes from above and digs in the ground
First the wind, then the sound when it digs in the ground and lastly the sound of the reverberation time. I think I've heard something like that in an Asterix movie.
Sounds like you might need to blend a few different sound effects together. If you are unable to find something, drop me a line via my den or visit my website and I could create something custom for you. It would be best if you have a video of the animation that way I can create the audio to line up perfectly.http://thesecessionstudios.com

Fishing in Iceland
Iceland, the land of fire and ice, is home to some of the best Atlantic salmon and game fishing in the world. In 2008 it had its best salmon fishing season for many years.
With crystal-clear, well-managed rivers and breathtaking scenery, it is no surprise that for generations, anglers have come to (and subsequently fallen in love with) Iceland. Fishing for salmon, sea trout, trout and Arctic char under the midnight sun is an experience no angler will ever forget.
The island landscape varies from barren lava fields and glacial plateaus to verdant farmland and provides a wealth of non-fishing activites for the family to enjoy whilst you fish.
Iceland is only a three hour flight from the UK and five hours from the East Coast of America with several airlines providing plenty of options.
River Minnivallalaekur, home to some "big" brown trout.

Israel Releases POV Video of Special Forces Raid in Gaza
- By Elias GrollElias Groll is an assistant editor at Foreign Policy. A native of Stockholm, Sweden, he received his undergraduate degree from Harvard University, where he was the managing editor of The Harvard Crimson.
- elias.groll
- @eliasgroll
Three weeks into fighting between Israel and Hamas, the two sides are releasing dueling Go Pro-style videos of their respective commando raids. On Tuesday, Hamas uploaded a video of its fighters mounting a deadly raid on an Israeli military installation from a tunnel complex. One day later, Israel released a video of Special Forces soldiers raiding a Gaza house.
That footage shows Israeli commandos swooping into a house in Shejaiya, a neighborhood in Gaza that has been the scene of the bloodiest fighting of the weeks-long conflict. While media coverage has mostly focused on Israel's aerial bombardment of Gaza, Israeli forces have also been carrying out ground operations. Here, we get a glimpse — though not a terribly informative one — of what that looks like from the point of view of one of the Special Forces soldiers.
On Tuesday, Hamas released a similar video, which shows its forces emerging from a tunnel and attacking an Israeli military installation. Unlike their Israeli counterparts, Hamas appears more willing to broadcast their infantry tactics:
Another difference: The Hamas attack appears to have resulted in the deaths of numerous Israeli soldiers. The house in Gaza seems to have been empty by the time the Israeli forces moved in, though they do appear to have found the entrance to one of Hamas's vaunted tunnels.

|Reasons Why Low-Income Women in Northwest Missouri Do Not Access No-Cost Mammography Services
|Harris, Crystal R.
|Integrated Behavioral Model
|University of Missouri--Kansas City
|Mammography is one of the best screening methods to detect early breast cancer, identify the cancer at a more treatable stage, expand treatment options, and reduce mortality. Despite access to no-cost mammography services, Missouri women experience the lowest mammography utilization rate in the nation. In Northwest Missouri the rate of mammography utilization is particularly low: 1 in 3 women over the age of 40 years have never had a mammogram. The purpose of this study was to identify factors that prevent uninsured, low-income women from Northwest Missouri from accessing no-cost mammography services. A narrative descriptive design was utilized to: 1) examine attitudes concerning mammography, 2) gain insight into perceived barriers and facilitators to mammography, 3) gain an understanding of factors influencing mammography behavior and 4) identify potential strategies to increase mammography access and utilization among uninsured, low-income women age 40 to 64 years in Northwest Missouri who have never had a mammogram. Participants in this study (n=12) were recruited from community agencies that provided social services to low-income families. Semi-structured individual interviews were conducted, guided by the Integrated Behavioral Model. Data were analyzed using content analysis to formulate narrative descriptions about attitudes, perceived norms, perceived control, and self-efficacy concerning mammography use. There were four themes that emerged from the data: Competing priorities, the costs of having a `free' mammogram, attitudes about mammography, and navigating the `red tape'. Findings indicated that the participants in this study experienced competing priorities and viewed screening behaviors, such as mammography, as a low priority. These women had conflicting attitudes about the advantages and disadvantages of mammography. Their perceptions about mammography were greatly influenced by family and friends. The overarching barrier to no-cost mammography for each of the participants was the amount of "red tape" encountered when navigating the healthcare system in order to obtain a "free" mammogram. Findings from this study may serve to inform future intervention strategies that may reduce barriers and increase utilization of no-cost mammography programs by eligible women.

Rampage returns to his first love at UFC 123
The B.A. Baracus mohawk has been shaved clean off. The gold necklaces have been replaced by that familiar 4-foot chain of cast-iron links.
Rampage Jackson's dalliance with Hollywood only reminded him just how much he loves to fight.
When Jackson takes on Lyoto Machida in a meeting of former light heavyweight champions at UFC 123, he's trying to get his career back in gear by breaking it down to essentials. Rampage realizes he was nearly derailed by numerous distractions, from a messy arrest in 2008 to that part in "The A-Team."
"My last performance wasn't exciting," Jackson said - and he isn't talking about his well-received movie role. "If anybody really understands me and the way I like to fight, I like to put on a great show. That's one of the reasons I decided to become a fighter. I like to entertain people and have exciting fights."
Jackson (30-8) knows octagon rust was at least partly responsible for his unimpressive loss to Rashad Evans last May in his first bout back, and he all but acknowledges slacking on his training while promoting his movie. He also has implied he was injured two weeks before the fight, but didn't want to pull out of a headlining bout.
None of those obstacles will be problems Saturday night north of Detroit at the Palace of Auburn Hills, not after a full training camp in Orange County and a renewed commitment to conditioning.
"A lot of things are different," said Jackson, who has won eight of his last 10 fights despite every distraction. "I've been more focused and have a lot of time to train. I took a long time off, not training and stuff like that, and your body is going to suffer when you go into a hard camp. This time, my body is doing good. This time I'm more prepared."
B.J. Penn's third bout with veteran Matt Hughes also headlines UFC 123, the mixed martial arts league's first card featuring four former champions in the same event.
Although Jackson acknowledges an interest in reclaiming the 205-pound title, he seems more interested in becoming an entertainer again. The fighter who once electrified the Pride circuit in Japan with his penchant for body-slamming opponents - a rare feat for anybody in the skilled UFC - is determined to put danger back into his bouts.
Jackson's focus is wonderful news for the UFC, because Machida (16-1) isn't exactly a five-alarm fire of a fighter. Their stylistic contrasts are glaring, and they're just one reason the UFC put them together.
Machida became an unbeaten champion with a passive, awkward style that doesn't sell many pay-per-view shows - at least until he ran into Mauricio "Shogun" Rua in his past two bouts.
"I respect Machida, but I have fighters who I'm a fan of, and they always want to fight," Jackson said. "They have the same basic feelings I have. I feel like boxing has become very boring. MMA is my sport, and too many fighters are coming up with these crazy game plans and just fighting for points. I hate to see this sport turn into boxing. Nobody is even hitting the canvas these days. Guys are just trying to win by points. I just feel like, I like to have fights."

"Virtual Birding Trail" Helps Traverse City Visitors Find Feathered Friends
Tourism promoters in Traverse City, Mich. have created a new Internet tool to help them attract birding enthusiasts: a web-based "road map" to over 120 miles of Lake Michigan shoreline that includes 27 birding sites.
Traverse City, MI (PRWEB) April 23, 2013
Tourism promoters in Traverse City, Mich. have created a new Internet tool to help them attract birding enthusiasts: the Sleeping Bear Birding Trail, a web-based "road map" to over 120 miles of Lake Michigan shoreline. The trail includes 32 birding sites within a short distance of state highway M-22 from the Traverse City limits to the town of Manistee.
Each year, hundreds of birdwatchers migrate to the dunelands of Northwestern Michigan with their binoculars and notebooks to enjoy the region´s many birding opportunities.
Many come for the annual spring migration, between mid-April and the middle of May, when a diverse population of migratory birds congregate on the triangular Leelanau Peninsula west of Traverse City. Others wait until the end of May for nesting season — and for the annual Leelanau Peninsula Birding Festival, a three-day cornucopia of field trips, talks and socializing designed with birders in mind.
Birding is now the country´s number-one outdoor activity. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service estimates that there are currently 51.3 million birders, and 16 million Americans say they look for birds when they travel. Several Traverse City area resorts and lodges list nearby birding areas in their promotional literature, and a few even arrange guided outings on request.
The virtual birding trail is anchored by the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, which has over 71,000 acres of public land and 35 miles of beaches, including vital habitat for the Piping Plover, an endangered shorebird that needs vast stretches of undisturbed beach. It also encompasses the homes of the Wings of Wonder raptor rehabilitation center and Saving Birds Through Habitat, a non-profit organization devoted to the protection and restoration of critical bird habitat.
Electronic birding trails have been launched successfully in Texas, Montana and Alabama´s Gulf Coast. Birding Festival organizer Dave Barrons, one of the minds behind the new trail, says the Sleeping Bear area´s distinct seasons, diverse topography, extensive shoreline and large number of natural areas with public access make it a naturalist´s paradise.
"This is not just a single trail where you get out and hike around looking for birds," he says. "It´s a travel route, a way of connecting a number of birding sites in a way that allows you to include them in your itinerary."
One key feature of the 123-mile trail is what Barrons and fellow birder Mick Seymour call "citizen science." Over time, individual birders who use the website will report their sightings and observations into a large electronic database that can be used by researchers.
"We now have the ability to meticulously record what we see and hear," says Seymour. "Birders all over the world are recording where, when, and how many and this data is enormously valuable to the science and understanding of species distribution and abundance."
Barrons says the Birding Trail will be up and running by April 1 — well in advance of the Leelanau Peninsula Birding Festival, which is scheduled May 29 to June 2.
The 2013 festival will include several new features — including an excursion to the nesting grounds of the rare Kirtland's warbler, a songbird that lives only in the dense foliage of young jackpine trees. Nine other field trips include visits to the beach habitat of the piping plover and a popular "Birding By Tall Ship" voyage on the schooner Inland Seas.
The Birding Festival will operate out of Fountain Point, a classic "Up North" resort near the village of Lake Leelanau, where participants will gather each evening after their excursions to listen to presentations and talks from birding leaders.
The keynote speaker for this year´s festival is Brian Allen, one of one of Michigan´s best-known birders, who spent most of 2012 working on a Michigan "Big Year" — a competition to identify as many bird species as possible in a single year. His talk will explore the ways in which life can get in the way of such an effort, how many species he ended up with, and about the importance of conservation to the future of birding.

After an Insight Out Intensive with Scott, I do not feel as stressed out and hectic at work. I am not trying to cram too much into a day, yet I am much more productive than I used to be. I am more engaged with my customers, I feel calm even when the day gets hectic, and I feel like I have more time to accomplish my work.

It is comforting to know that he is a phone call away to help me continue on my new life journey.

One would anticipate a workshop on Happiness to be subjective and come away with mere warm, good feelings. But there were some priceless objective lessons and practical applications that I am SO excited to employ in my daily work, living and parenting. Thank you!!

I was suffering from some serious health problems. I could hardly get out of bed, and it was all I could do to attend two hours of school every day. I went to what seemed a countless number of doctors, all of whom were flummoxed. But seeing Scott proved to be the best thing I've ever done for myself. He evaluated me and took some tests which revealed an acute bacterial overgrowth: candidiasis. With his help, I rebounded in months. I'm a different person today, and it's all thanks to Scott Thank you!!

A CITY OF 2,561 PEOPLE 43 miles east of San Angelo, Eden has five established churches, three sit-down restaurants that all serve Tex-Mex, two motels, a grocery store, a hospital, a nine-hole golf course, and several exotic-game ranches. It's a place of great natural beauty—more or less the spot where the Hill Country gives way to West Texas—that bills itself "The Garden in the Center of Texas" and claims Air Force pioneer General Ira Eaker as its favorite son. Like most places, Eden has an annual celebration, in this case Fall Fest (September 2426 this year), which features a parade, a Saturday night dance, and the Adam's Rib and Eve's Seduction barbecue and dessert contest. And, oh, yeah, at the eastern edge of town, flanked by rows of shiny razor wire, there's a private federal prison.
If you've taken U.S. 87 heading west, you know the place I mean, on the right side of the road just as the speed limit slows to 45. An all-male minimum-security facility for illegal aliens serving out criminal sentences before their deportation, the Eden Detention Center was built in 1985. It was later purchased by the city and is now owned by Corrections Corporation of America ( CCA). With its in-ground granite sign and smattering of trees and flowers, the EDC looked like your average office park campus until recently, when tightened federal regulations put the malignant fencing front and center. Now as then, the building's trim facade does not suggest its true size: more than 1,300 beds, most of which are full. In other words, at least half the citizens of Eden aren't citizens at all.
This seemingly incongruous state of affairs is actually routine in the United States, especially in Texas, which put at least seventy prison facilities into rural communities during the nineties. Prisoners are included in the U.S. Census, and of the 21 counties in the U.S. that have more than 21 percent of their population behind bars, 10 are in our state. Struggling small towns have traditionally been used as dumping grounds for businesses that no one wants to live with, like nuclear power plants or hog farms. But these days, with family agriculture giving way to corporate farming and ranches to ranchettes, correctional facilities are to small towns what casinos are to reservations. Local leaders actually campaign to get their burg a prison, wooing the necessary government agencies and companies with incentive-laden bids just like Dallas would for Lockheed Martin. Some of these facilities don't work out, which tends to hurt the towns a lot more than the companies, but Eden's surely has. To say the prison doesn't creep the locals out would be an understatement. They're downright thankful for the place.
"It's what keeps our restaurants going, keeps our grocery store going—keeps us alive, really," says Mark Bethune, the president of the chamber of commerce. "I'd say a good number of people in my church owe their livelihood to the detention center, directly or indirectly. So I guess I do as well, don't I?"
The detention center came to be as part of a campaign sparked by then-mayor Jim Schumann, who recognized the need to revitalize a city in slow decline. In 1985, a year after his election, he put a sign up in the square: "For Sale. City of Eden. Pop. 1166." A picture of it made the front page of the San Angelo Standard-Times, then countless other papers via the Associated Press. Schumann had made his point.
He'd made the same pitch when he'd contacted contractor Roy Burnes and suggested that Eden could open its arms to the detention center that Brady, thirty miles to the east and five times as large, had shot down, thanks to vocal public opposition. "A lot of people don't want to admit it, but this town is dying," Schumann said at the council meeting to consider the proposal. According to Wade Clifton, then an Austin-based consultant and now the chairman and CEO of First State Bank in nearby Paint Rock, that was more than abstract speculation. "The projections that I had seen before the detention center happened were that Eden would be smaller than Paint Rock," he says. (Paint Rock's population is three hundred.)
Still, "Let's put in a prison!" is not much of a rallying cry. The town was split, with three hundred to four hundred people signing petitions on both sides. Opponents had concerns about, as one letter writer to the mayor put it, "welcoming the criminal element to our midst." Other critics wondered if the federal government would really fill two hundred beds (the detention center's original size). On the other side, city councilwoman Myrtle Hall shed public tears contemplating Eden's shaky economic future, while an unsigned article in the local Eden Echo newspaper reassured the citizens, with perfect pre- PC nonchalance, that the facility would neither house dangerous felons nor be "an area roundup pen for wets." Two months after the project was initially proposed, the council gave the go-ahead.
Now some of the same people who opposed the center work there. Others deny they were against it in the first place. A friend of Schumann's who crossed the street to avoid him for three years later admitted, "It's the best thing this town could ever have." A facility that started out with 27 jobs and $7-an-hour wages now employs more than 250 people at a minimum wage of $11 an hour. "That's a really good job in this part of the world," says Clifton. "All the little farmers and ranchers, these guys that have three hundred and twenty acres, six hundred and forty acres—it's not enough. But they can have a job at the detention center and continue farming and ranching before or after work."
"I really, really enjoy working out there, and I never, ever feel afraid," says Flo Perez, a 72-year-old retired Methodist minister who, as the EDC's assistant chaplain, sees about two hundred prisoners at chapel every week. "There are certain things that go on that

Niger population and Malian refugess hard hit by food crisis
Friday 01st Jun 2012 | Latest News, Africa
Amanita Walid, from Ménaka, arrived in Niger with nothing but the clothes on her back. Members of her family and other people she knew ended up scattered across several sites. Despite these difficulties, she had a real sense of security: "The real change when we arrived here was not hearing any more gunfire."
On 7 May, the ICRC and the Red Cross Society of Niger completed a distribution of food for over 110,000 people. Each household (six people on average) in 75 villages of the Ouallam, Banibangou and Abala departments in the Tillabéry area was given 200 kilograms of millet - enough to cover their grain needs for four months. In addition, 20 grain banks were topped up to make an additional supply available if needed.
Between January and March, the ICRC had already distributed food to approximately the same number of people and agricultural seed to 60,000 people (each household was given 20 kilograms of improved millet seed and five kilos of cowpea seed). The rainy season, expected to begin in June, is awaited with impatience.
In Garbey (where the footage was shot), a village about 50 kilometres from the Malian border, the food crisis reduced the food available for people and livestock to almost nothing. The most vulnerable people - residents and refugees alike - take desperate measures, such as reducing the number of meals they eat each day, selling off their animals for next to nothing, and moving to places less affected by the crisis. Others are forced to prepare their food out of baobab leaves... The solidarity of the Niger population with Malian refugees cannot possibly be sufficient, however, for everyone to be able to eat.
Beyond vital deliveries of food and other emergency aid, the ICRC and the Red Cross Society of Niger have begun innovative and cooperative programmes.
In Tizégorou (another location used for the footage, also in the Tillabéry area), a farming village 207 kilometres from the capital Niamey, a "cash for work" programme aims to restore degraded soil, cut back invasive trees, and build river weirs to catch rainwater so that it is easier to produce fodder for livestock. In return for this work, people are given cash that they can use to meet their basic needs and settle debts that they have taken on during this very difficult period.
According to the Niger authorities, almost 35 per cent of households in the country - over 5.4 million people - are affected to varying degrees by food insecurity. The grain shortage is put at 692,000 tonnes.

Anne Hathaway is preparing for her upcoming role in Les Miserables and the rumor mill is swirling with reports that the actress is only eating 500 calories a day so she can lose 20 pounds in just a few short weeks.
According to the reports, Hathaway has sought out the the help of trainers and a doctor to lose the weight and is currently living on a couple apples a day and protein shakes.
However, Hathaway's rep has spoken out to squash the rumors and say that while she is looking to lose weight, she is going about it in a much healthier way.
"This story is a huge exaggeration," said Stephen Huvane, Hathaway's rep. "Anne is on a special diet, but is not looking to lose that much weight and she's consuming more than 500 calories a day. She just needs to look more frail as she is playing a prostitute who is dying of tuberculosis."

Jeff Kline, a data analyst, says his vehicle is believed to be one of only a few dozen velomobiles in the country.
It resembles an egg with bicycle pedals, two batteries and a place to mount an iPod, reports the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
"It's not going to beat Lance (Armstrong) in a race," said Kline, who spends 60 to 90 minutes one-way to reach his workplace 27 miles away. "But it will get you here and back pretty comfortable."
Kline says each round-trip commute costs him less than a penny a day, based on how much electricity he uses to charge the batteries. He gets 50 miles out of each charge and the vehicle can clock 20 miles per hour.
Legally, the European-made velomobile is a bicycle, so he stays off interstates, the report said. The 132-pound contraption cost Kline about $7,500, excluding the $1,600 shipping cost from the Netherlands.
Velomobiles got their names from the prototypes Europeans first built and raced
in circular bicycle stadiums called velodromes, the report said.

The Harsh Realities of Farming
Thanksgiving has come and gone, and as November turns into December, we have a lot to be thankful for here at Old School Farm. Our Farm Manager, Dave Campeau has had a major impact on our small, bio-diverse start-up operation, contributing not only his physical labor day in and day out, but also his diverse knowledge base, creativity, problem solving, and willingness to learn new skills and techniques. Thanks Dave - we look forward to a very exciting 2013.
Thanksgiving is turkey time and at OSF it was no different. Our bronze breasted hybrid meat birds were plump from organic grain and free -ranging in the orchard and we have harvested and processed eight of these so far.
Hard to believe Dad let him where that sweater for this job.
Owen and Coleman helped dad grind some of the meat in an old-fashioned hand crank grinder and then Christin (Dave's girlfriend from Germany who was visiting), Dave, and Al made several types of sausage from the meat with an old sausage stuffer/fruit press that Al acquired on e-bay. The favorite variety so far has been the spinach/feta combination, with apple/currant/maple coming a close second.
We also had some serious problems and setbacks with our turkeys. Not only did we lose two 30 lb bronze breasted birds and our only remaining bourbon red tom right in the pen due to pecking/cannibalism, but we also lost our prized and elegant Spanish Black tom to a predator early one morning.
The bird roosted up in a tree, but we think then decided to come back inside our orchard area to the ground before first light - something took him out - we found him half eaten under our elderberry patch. Now we are left with only one heritage breed male turkey for breeding purposes - our Royal Palm. (update just before publishing - we just lost him as well - seems a virus has struck... No breeding for spring unless it has already been done :)
As the temperatures drop we are really going through the wood. Thankfully our neighbors Jim and Pat Sanders have a lot of dry locust logs they aren't using and this will be a big help for us in getting through the winter - we have about 2.5 cords in stock now, but we need about 6.
The chickens are doing very well, but one Buff Orpington hen keeps getting out of the fence somehow. One night we didn't realize this and we found her the next morning in the woods just outside the fence sitting on an egg in the leaves! We have since clipped her wing feathers, but to our chagrin she is still getting out - always the same bird. We now need to look at a couple of the large shrubs and small trees near the fence line, as we think she is getting up in these and then getting over the fence.
The first week after Thanksgiving marks the start of the deer hunting season, and in what has become a four year tradition, Al's friends Rocco and Jerry were up for 3 days to try and get a deer for the farm freezer. Unfortunately Rocco didn't connect on an 8 point buck at the top of the hill. There are still a few days to go in the season, so Al will be out this coming week in an attempt to obtain venison for the family (the boys love it)
Team Coyote: Rob, Owen & Sophia
A new tradition may have been initiated over Thanksgiving weekend when Al's brother Rob, his wife Erin and daughters visited. Since Al's wife Deena, and parents Dave and Sue were also present, he decided to divide everyone up into teams of three for the "Old School Farm Challenge" This scavenger hunt/quiz of sorts took place indoors and out, and consisted of finding hidden objects, identifying things on the farm, and answering a series of farming/outdoor-related questions. It turned out to be a lot of fun. Congratulations to Team Coyote - Uncle Rob, Owen and Sophia for their big win!
Checking for clues during the "challenge" - note jug of hard
cider brewing in other room in background
In closing we would like to again put in a plug for a community and entertainment venue that opened in Honesdale this past June - The Cooperage. On the friday after Thanksgiving the Benner family enjoyed an amazing concert by Los Villalobos brothers from Mexico. The three brothers who are classically trained violin virtuosos, were accompanied by a band, and played a wide range of music, putting out some amazing sounds. They have even played Carnegie Hall! You can sample some of their music here. They really are spectacular.
Below we have a lot of additional interesting photos and information this time around, so please
enjoy them. See you in December! - We hope to have a cool "old school" logo for the farm to show you by then. We also hope to have our date nailed down for our first of several workshop/farm tours that will start next May. I know some of you have been sending us your feedback and comments, but for some reason we are not seeing them...seems like google needs to take a look at their blogger program.

Tennessee running backs at crunch time
Next four games must show progress
KNOXVILLE — Tennessee's tailbacks stood on one side of a narrow training arch during the early portion of Tuesday's practice. Two walk-on linebackers were placed on the other side.
One by one, running backs coach Jay Graham gave his players a ball and some instructions: Fight your way through the hole, but don't let go of the football.
Tennessee backs have lost fumbles only twice in four games this year, but it's those little things that are under extra scrutiny as the Vols (3-1, 0-1 SEC) prepare to face No. 5 Georgia (4-0, 2-0) Saturday at Sanford Stadium in Athens.
The trip to Georgia begins a grueling four-game swing in the middle of the Vols' schedule that will determine just how much progress the team — and the running game — has made from a year ago.
Tennessee coaches and players talked all August about improvement in the ground attack, and the early returns have been positive. The Vols have 690 rushing yards, 246 more than they had through four games last year.
Last year's game against Georgia was especially bleak. In 23 carries, Tennessee lost 20 yards. Two games earlier against Florida, the Vols carried for minus-9 yards. By the end of the season, the Vols were still dead last in rushing yards in SEC games, averaging only 63.5 yards per league game.
So while the Vols have improved on the ground this year, skepticism about the team's progress is understandable.
Junior tackle Ja'Wuan James, who endured all of last year's low points, said he believes the running game has turned the corner. He says missed opportunities have kept it from being even better.
"Most of the time, the running game is us killing ourselves," James said Tuesday. "It's mostly us miscommunicating or getting on the wrong guys or us just not blocking well. We've done a lot technically this offseason and it's showing a little bit now that we're going doing better in the run game."
Rajion Neal has 52 percent of the Vols' rushing yardage (356 yards on 80 carries). He has yet to break a big run (his long is 29), but he's been a steady and reliable ball carrier inside.
"I have confidence in myself and I just get more and more confident in the guys around me that are helping me," Neal said. "If we get the running game started, it's going to be a long game."
Neal wasn't being boastful, but simply suggesting that a balanced offense could take the team to heights that a one-dimensional one could not. The running game's demise in 2011 left little help for quarterback Tyler Bray and the passing game, which struggled to carry the offensive burden. That's why having some success in the running game Saturday — even if it's just a little — is so important.
"It's very important," said James. "It's important against any opponent. It helps the whole offense. It helps the whole team, really. If we're running the ball, they have to respect that and maybe add another guy in the box. That would definitely help out all our receivers and Tyler."
