Thanks to The Dr. Jane's HealthyPetNet Foundation, four "retired" Greyhounds
have crossed the finish line to guaranteed shelter and care, until they can be adopted
into loving, forever families.

For years, holistic practitioners have worked to educate consumers
about how even the slightest changes in environment, stress and diet can
cause significant changes in health. As a holistic vet myself, I believe
that nothing should be overlooked when it comes to ensuring the wellness
of our beloved buddies.
Since we know that food is the foundation for a healthy life, most
people select the best food to provide the many essential nutritional
components our dogs can't do without. But to make sure they receive the
nutrition required to help boost healthy functioning, additional
nourishment from health treats can be just what the doctor ordered. More...
If you are like many people, your holiday plans will include some
form of travel. Increasingly, travelers are opting to include their
companion animal on their journeys. According to Road and Travel
Magazine, 78% of pet owners are hitting the road and soaring
through the skies with their furry friends, and this percentage keeps
growing! If you are thinking about taking your companion animal along
for the ride, keep in mind that traveling with pets usually involves
more than just putting them in the backseat and driving off, especially
if you are traveling long distances.
If you are traveling by plane, there are many things to consider,
including proper documentation, regulations and services, and a special
carrier. If by car, consider booking hotels that accept animals well in
advance of your travels. International travel represents a whole new set
of challenges, including quarantine periods, a different set of laws and
regulations, and special fees and documents.
Unfortunately, some pets become separated from their pet parents
during travel – it is important to protect your pet with proper ID.
Also, for any kind of traveling, there are certain things you should
pack (like food and medication) and other things best left at home. If
you aren't prepared, you may be adding to the stress of the season for
both you and your companion animal. The best bet to a safe and
hassle-free trip is proper planning and preparation: what you don't need
in the middle of a trip is one more thing to worry about.
In this video, Dr. Sarah details suggested preparations for traveling
with your companion animal. From necessary travel documents and how to
keep your pet safe, to ideas for easy clean-up so your pet doesn't wear
out their welcome, this video is a must-see for merry holiday travel

Well, maybe it's a little bit about the burger. After all, it was a very tasty turkey burger. However, the star of the show today was the homemade whole wheat bun. A few weeks back, I finally found a recipe and technique that enabled me to make my first really good 100% whole wheat bread (patting myself on the back yet one more time.) But yesterday as I was making a panini with that bread, I was lamenting that even though it tastes delicious, it doesn't get as crusty on the panini grill as do other breads. I wondered to myself if maybe by making it into individual buns, the bun crusts themselves might lend toward a crispier crust on my panini, and thus I needed to experiment once again. So, when making this most recent batch of bread, I only made one loaf, then used the rest of the dough to make individual buns. After the first rise, I divided 1/2 the dough into 10 individual balls, placed them on a greased baking sheet, flattened them into rounds, then covered them loosely with plastic wrap and let them rise for about an hour. I then baked them in a 375 degree oven for about 15 minutes. And yes, they did indeed make a wonderful crusty panini! (peanut butter and tomato panini to be specific, but that's another post entirely)
The turkey burger itself was made by adding salt, pepper, and a tablespoon of Penzey's breakfast sausage seasoning to a pound of lean ground turkey breast. I then mixed that with one egg, a handful of whole wheat bread crumbs, a little chopped parsley, and some sauteed red pepper, onion and garlic. A splash of olive oil was added before shaping the mix into four patties and frying in a small amount of olive oil for about 10 minutes, five minutes per side.

the weekend was merry all around Meridian, with lots of holiday activities.
The annual Christmas parade packed downtown streets Saturday. But it was just one of several big events that drew lots of people. Local officials say it proved there is a lot to do here.
"The old myth that you hear people say, 'there's nothing to do around Meridian', when you look at that schedule, that's just totally disproved," said John McClure, executive director of Meridian Main Street. "And it's because we are a community that cares. We have people who pitch in and work together."
All of the events hosted in downtown Meridian do not put themselves together. It takes hundreds of man hours to prepare sites, get the word out, and of course, man the different activities. All of these workers are volunteers, which make Merry Meridian possible.
"There's just not enough money, in both the private and public sectors, to pay for things we need to do to elevate what we have that is attractive," said Kenny Watts, board president of Meridian Main Street. "We take it for granted so often, and without volunteers helping raise the awareness, or renew the awareness, of how attractive our downtown is, things wouldn't happen."
The volunteers who make Merry Meridian possible all have one thing in common, a love for downtown.
"I love all the activities they do; I love the dedication of the people that do help, and they make it easy to help," said Debby Delshad, a volunteer with Meridian Main Street. "It's clear, you know, what they need done, and they welcome the help from anyone that has the time or energy to come help them. So I love it. I love downtown."

Pinecliff RoadBranksome ParkPoole
Branksome Dene Chine was once part of an extensive system of heathland that extended inland and along the Dorset and Hampshire coasts, covering much of what is Bournemouth and Poole today. Only isolated patches of heath now remain within the Chine and these are particularly important to conserve. A large part of the Chine is wooded, with mature Pines and a dense cover of Rhododendron underneath. Much of this was planted during the 19th century when the Chine was part of the Branksome Dene Hall estate. The Chine can be reached by car from Pinewood Road and by foot from the sea front and paths leading from Cassel Avenue and Sandbourne Road.

Health care officials say for many people, the 'golden years', aren't so 'golden.' That's because aging brings changes, some which often affect a person's mental state.
"I think a lot of people have the perception that once you retire and get into older years, all things are just easier and happier but that's not the case," said Courtney Vermillion, licensed counselor with Rush Health System's Senior Care Program.
Vermillion says, for many seniors, grief from the loss of loved ones and other life changes often brings depression and isolation. However, help is available.
"Primarily we do group therapy and individual therapy, and they come three days a week for three hours a day for group therapy," Vermillion said.
At least twice a month a psychiatrist visits each of the sites and provides medication to participants who are in need.
Rush Health Systems provides programs of this nature at ten different locations throughout east Mississippi, all the way from Philadelphia to Forest. Transportation is provided for people who live within a 30 mile radius of the site in their area.
It is during the three to six month duration of the program that Vermillion says participants start to notice a difference.
"What I have found is that a lot of times the people that are in our program, they make friends with one another, and so they start making plans and calling one another," said Vermillion. "There are a lot of resources out there to help you cope with the problem."

Tales of Wells Fargo: Bank Breaks $200 Billion in Market Cap
Friday was a tough day for J.P.Morgan, but a good day for Wells Fargo: The New York bank fought Congress, the San Francisco bank reached $200 billion in market capitalization for the first time.
The two banks have been trading places in recent quarters as the nation's most valuable bank.
On Thursday, J.P.Morgan closed with a market cap of $190 billion; Wells Fargo with $201 billion. J.P.Morgan's shares fell 1.9%, Wells Fargo' rose 3.3%.
Score that another victory for Wells vs. it competitor. Earlier this week it also revealed CEO John Stumpf was getting paid more than J.P. Morgan's Jamie Dimon and, as of now, all his other peers at commercial banks.
Both banks sustained little damage in the financial meltdown, and even picked up collapsing banks on the way. And both reported record profits last year.
But that's about where the comparison ends.
J.P.Morgan relishes its position as big universal bank with trading, underwriting, merger and acquisition advisory, payment processing, and business and consumer lending. Yet J.P.Morgan was forced to fight off senators in D.C. on Friday over its "London Whale" losses, the poster child of all that can go wrong at a big bank.
Wells Fargo thinks of itself as a community bank focused on deposit taking and lending, even though it outgrew that little country bank size quite a while ago — after all, protesters demanding Wells Fargo stop foreclosures haven't picked the bank by accident.
The bank even has even been the focus of its own T.V. show, "Tales of Wells Fargo" where its forefathers play the Western heroes. (see below) J. Pierpont Morgan was rarely glorified as a hero in pop culture.
Wells Fargo touts that history with a daily-update of "This Date in Wells Fargo History."
Today it was all about the 1893 Chicago world's fair and some lithographs of long gone brands Pioneer Stage Company and California and Oregon Stage Company from the age before subprime —now Wells Fargo can refresh the page with its new record.

In the wake of the March 1913 flood 69 bridges had been heavily damaged or totally washed away along the Muskingum River Valley. Every bridge between Zanesville and the confluence of the Muskingum and Ohio rivers had been destroyed.
Portions of major roadways were also completely wiped out-the floodwaters rising to more than 25 feet over some streets in the Marietta area.
The great flood, and other lesser events since then, have affected how roads and bridges are designed and built to this day.

A highway crew addresses poor drainage issues that caused flooding over this stretch of roadway in Gallia County.
"Historically the 1913 flood has had an impact on our entire department statewide," said Tony Durm, environmental engineer with Ohio Department of Transportation District 10.
He said a major portion of the state was decimated by the floodwaters that rushed through scores of cities and towns throughout the Buckeye State.
"So many bridges were gone and roadways severely damaged that the task for what was then the Department of Highways was to assess and determine the best ways to repair and replace those structures," Durm said. "In fact, that's where the department's Bridge Bureau originated."
Fact Box
After the 1913 flood:
Washed-out bridges were replaced with stronger spans, anchored to piers and able to handle heavier automobile traffic.
Development of reinforced concrete allowed faster, cheaper bridge construction by using less steel.
Many roadways were elevated out of the flood plain.
Highway design must now address projected flood levels before construction begins.
Most bridges are now inspected annually for any flood-related damage.
Source: Tony Durm, Ohio Department of Transportation District 10 and Times research.
He credited the designers and forward-thinking engineers of that time with recognizing the need for stronger and more flood-resistant bridges as automobiles were fast replacing the horse-and-buggy on area roadways.
"The 1913 period was not long before World War I, which was then followed by the Great Depression and World War II," Durm noted. "There were a lot of manpower and materials issues facing the nation at that time."
A new product introduced during those years-reinforced concrete-helped reduce the amount of steel needed to build roads and bridges.
"Steel was scarce and expensive," Durm said. "So they put a lot of manpower into mixing sand and gravel and casting the forms right there on site."
The widespread flooding wiped out so many bridges throughout the state that a fast solution had to be developed for rebuilding those structures.
"Ohio moved into the cutting edge of bridge design during that time," Durm said.
He noted prior to the 1913 flood covered bridges were fairly common throughout the state, most built between 1820 and 1880.
"But those bridges were just set on stone abutments-not anchored-so they simply washed away," Durm said. "One thing the bridge engineers did was to design concrete piers with bases in the stream, but offset and cantilevered so the new bridge decks would only be barely sitting on the old covered bridge supports."
That process saved a lot of time and money by using the existing structures instead of having to completely rebuild every bridge.
Durm said roadways were also an issue as it was well into the 1930s and 1940s before many roads had hard surfaces, making it easy for the thoroughfares to be washed away-especially those that were built along streams or through river valleys.
"Now when we plan for a new road or repair an existing roadway, we have to take the potential flood levels into account," he said. "We also do a hydraulic analysis first to be sure we're not going to impact flood levels upstream."
Structures like storm drains and culverts must also be carefully designed so that debris does not become lodged inside and create a dam of backwater during flood events.
Washington County Engineer Roger Wright agreed.
"When planning upgrades for our county roads system, we still have to show the 100-year flood elevations in order to qualify for federal funding," he said. "We use the ODOT manual when repairing or replacing bridge and drainage structures and design those projects to handle larger flooding events."
Wright said even bridges across minor streams are designed to at least a 25-year flood level.
"Of course on some smaller township roads there will always be drainage aspects we can't overcome-the township and county's pockets just aren't deep enough to do it all, but we do try to place rip-rap and concrete in flood-prone areas to keep roadways and bridges from washing away," he said.
Another result of past flooding is the requirement for annual bridge inspections, Wright noted.
"Those include checks for 'scour' marking that indicates undercutting during times of high water," he said. "If issues crop up during a bridge inspection we go back and make the necessary repairs."
Wright said while computer modeling and other technology are great tools, engineers can't design for every possible event that may impact roads and bridges along area streams.
"In the end, you can only work with Mother Nature-not against her," he said.
Durm added that the country has become a lot more dependent on transportation systems since 1913.
"There's no doubt the flood was hard on those folks who lived through it, but their lives were not as dependent on transportation as ours are now," he said. "Our transportation network has to be much more reliable today-the nation's entire economy depends on it."

Definition of -ize in English:
1 The form -ize has been in use in English since the 16th century; although it is widely used in American English, it is not an Americanism. The alternative spelling -ise (reflecting a French influence) is in common use, especially in British English. It is obligatory in certain cases: first, where it forms part of a larger word element, such as -mise (= sending) in compromise, and -prise (= taking) in surprise; and second, in verbs corresponding to nouns with -s- in the stem, such as advertise and televise.2 Adding -ize to a noun or adjective has been a standard way of forming new verbs for centuries, and verbs such as characterize, terrorize, and sterilize were all formed in this way hundreds of years ago. For some reason, people object to recent formations of this type: during the 20th century, objections were raised against prioritize, finalize, and hospitalize, among others. There doesn't seem to be any coherent reason for this, except that verbs formed from nouns tend, inexplicably, to be criticized as vulgar formations. Despite objections, it is clear that -ize forms are an accepted part of the standard language.
From French -iser, via late Latin -izare from Greek verbs ending in -izein.

Leon Hiebert was pastor of Andover Assembly of God (Generations Church A/G) from 1989 to 2009. He is a Viet Nam veteran who spent 10 years in the US Navy most of the time as a corpsman serving with the Marine Corps.

From a devotional written by Skip Heitzig and forwarded to me by my cousin, Don Boese: "If you just have the inerrant Word of Scripture but you don't have an experience with God yourself, then it's not personal. If you have your personal experience but it doesn't match what the scripture says, then it's not reasonable. Put them both together, it's powerful. It's unshakeable."
Friends, I trust you have a wonderful time of celebrating the resurrection of our Lord! What an amazing victory He won for us on the cross! What an amazing victory He won over the grave! What an amazing future He has in store for us! May your celebration be personal, reasonable, and powerful! Wow! Pastor Leon J
Scripture: Psalm 49:15 But God will redeem me from the realm of the dead; he will surely take me to himself. (NIV)
Observation: If Jesus did not rise from the dead, then our faith would be useless. Death is the final result of sin. Jesus overcame sin in his living and overcame death in his resurrection!
Application: The resurrection is the proof that my faith is not in vain! His resurrection is proof that death is not the end for me. The Resurrected One lives inside me! He empowers my living and He will escort me through death into eternity!
Prayer: Lord, I am amazed at what you have done for me. But I know what is ahead will even be better! Amen
Pastor Leon
Making friends for time and eternity!

Newell: Parkersburg's mid-year revenue on track
New funding not expected for coming year
February 17, 2013
PARKERSBURG — Mid-year revenue numbers for the city of Parkersburg are on track, but indicate little-to-no new funding for the coming yea....
A listing of business licenses issued by the city can be found in the Legal Notices section of this newspaper. It is published monthly. The majority of these licenses are issued to individuals or small businesses that employ 2 or 3 people. Another reliable barometer of economic development is the dollar value of building permits issued, but these aren't published in the paper.

"Trollhunter" I'm sure the city recorder could answer that, or maybe WTAP could, why don't you go down to the city building and find out?
6 Agrees | 7 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
In fairness, can anyone name the 84 businesses that came to the area? How many were lost during the same period? Does a temporary business like a carnival or someone selling funnelcakes during homecoming count as one of those businesses? The truth is always in the details.
17 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Just think what Parkersburg would be like if we listen to people like "pointpark vortex"
5 Agrees | 11 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I seen on WTAP the other day, that "Eighty-four new businesses made their way to Parkersburg in 2012 and that number keeps growing." Anytime there's a new business comes in, that means more people are being employed and more B&O Tax's are being collected! So I'd say that not only is Parkersburg's mid-year revenue on track, but Parkersburg is on track, and the its future is starting to look up!

Note: This is last week's syndicated column.
Every now and again a term gets coined and comes into circulation that perfectly describes in shorthand a phenomenon you used to have to use whole sentences, paragraphs, pages or books to describe.
The late psychedelic guru Timothy Leary called these terms �neurologically exact.�
Do you remember the first time you ever heard someone say, �Hey, don�t get uptight�? You didn�t have to ask what they meant, did you?
Well recently I was exposed to a term which perfectly describes a phenomenon whole books have been written about. For example Diana West�s, �The Death of the Grown-Up: How America�s Arrested Development Is Bringing Down Western Civilization,� of David Mamet�s, �The Secret Knowledge.�
I encountered it in the online version of the humor magazine Cracked. I remember Cracked as a sort of poor relation to the much better-known and influential MAD Magazine of beloved memory, before �the usual gang of idiots� died off or retired and MAD was possessed by the Devil, a.k.a. AOL/Time-Warner.
It was in an article titled, �How the Karate Kid Ruined the Modern World� by David Wong. I�m not sure if Wong invented the term or not, but it�s a good one.
The essence of it was that movies like �The Karate Kid� show someone going from being bad at something to being good at it over the course of a two-minute musical montage, after a sudden enlightening attitude change.
Ever work that way for you?
Me neither. Like Daniel-san I was a skinny kid who got picked on. But I acquired my instructors credentials in two martial arts and intermediate/advanced level skill in a half-dozen others via thousands of dollars spent on lessons and reference materials, and tens of thousands of hours of practice.
I switched professions in mid-life when I was living and working in Eastern Europe in an exciting milieu of dramatic change, civil war, and international intrigue.
After getting some great stories as an amateur I went back to school. I then became an underpaid reporter at my first newspaper � one with less than 12,000 circulation. I�m on my second, somewhat larger paper now.
I cover local government, agriculture, small business etc. It�s called paying dues.
Success in most professions does not require genius. It requires a certain minimum of study, experience and a lot of paying dues.
The classic, reliable way of getting rich for those of us not in on the ground floor of the Next Big Thing, is not at all complicated. Get a job, any job. Gradually increase your earning power via skills training. Do a conspicuously good job. Put aside ten percent of your earnings, regular as clockwork, for years and years. Invest it according to the best advice you can find, which itself takes a lot of research. Get married, stay married, buy a house. By the time you�re ready to retire, barring disaster, you�ll be at least comfortably, maybe very well-off.
And yet, every year a multitude of college students graduate from our institutions of higher learning expecting to own the world, or a substantial piece of it, while they are still young and good-looking.
That�s when they run into effort shock.
Notice that formula for success is not complicated, merely very, very, difficult. It requires sustained patient effort, and delay of immediate gratification, over years. And years. Not to mention the fairly frequent bad luck, or bad judgment, that means you have to start all over again.
This applies to success in all things. How many people can�t stay married, not because of those �irreconcilable differences� but because staying married is hard?
Of course people have always encountered effort shock, but it does seem to be more pronounced these days.
If I had to guess, I�d say modern civilization makes us a little too comfortable. Not many of us grow up on farms anymore where kids are part of the workforce from an early age. We don�t grow up working hard just to stay afloat.
I wouldn�t give up those civilized comforts. On a not-too-spectacular salary I still have a house full of stuff people used to pay fortunes for when I was a kid, if they existed at all.
But sometimes I wish I could make life a little harder for my children. And sometimes I wonder if that�s not going to happen anyway.

Now Comes the Tough Part – Paying for It.
Getting into a good college or university – especially when the competition for places is so fierce – is quite an achievement. But admission to your year's freshman class is only half of the higher-education battle. The other half: Covering the cost of that education.
BookRenter can save you some serious money on textbooks, of course. For help meeting the rest of your college expenses, scholarships and grants abound, if you know where to look.
Top 3 Tips on Finding College Scholarships and Grants.
1. Ask for help from your school's Financial Aid Office.
It's their job to help you find what you need to know about scholarships and grants and how to apply for them. And while many scholarships are based on academics or athletic prowess, there are hundreds of other kinds of scholarships – many of which go unused each year because potential applicants don't know about them. For example, lots of schools offer legacy scholarships, open to family members (children, stepchildren, grandchildren, siblings, and even nieces and nephews) of alumni. Other schools award "first-generation" scholarships to students who are first in their family to attend college. There are scholarships for minorities, for older students, for returning students – the list is practically endless.
2. Do some [virtual] legwork
There are lots of online destinations where you can learn about – and apply for – scholarships. A good one is apps.collegeboard.com (yes, the same outfit many of us used to prep for college entrance exams). Another is scholarships.com, which lists some 2.7 million local, state, and national college scholarships and grants worth over $19 billion (as on most of the scholarship sites, searching is free). Fastweb.com offers contests and financial aid advice.
And at ed.gov you can learn about the U.S. Department of Education Pell Grant Program, which provides need-based grants to low-income undergraduate and certain grad students.
* Don't forget to apply for BookRenter's Rock the World Scholarship!
3. Online or off, think outside the box
Many scholarships, grants, and contests are designed to help students nurture a special interest or talent. Interested in "green" architecture or the environment and have a project or declared major to back it up?
You may qualify for an eco-oriented scholarship or grant. (Many green scholarships not only help you pay for school but also allow you to plan and execute projects or attend educational conferences.)
Got a wacky talent like, say, duck calling? Enter the Chick and Sophie Major Memorial Duck Calling Contest and you could win up to $2,000 – money that can be used to further education in any field.
And don't forget to check out your hometown's local businesses, civic organizations, and church groups – some of them might have scholarship or grant programs reserved especially for "home-grown" students.
Got some tips of your own on getting help to finance your college education?

JBU 3.4 inch M4 Kurz Mock Suppressor 14mm CCW Threaded
$ 39.99
JBU 3.4 inch M4 Kurz Mock Suppressor 14mm CCW Threaded - Quantity:
Registered User Login:
- looks goodI don't know what else there is to say about a silencer... Looks good, hides the extended inner barrel, and is overall durable! Great buy.
- JBU 3.4 inch M4 Kurz Mock Suppressor Bought one of these for a KJW 1911 Hi-capa with threaded barrel, but wound up mounting it on an MP5 where it looks even cooler. This is just an awesome looking suppressor! It looks much better than the longer versions made by various manufacturers.
These after market accessories can really enhance the look of your airsoft weapon, but they can also be very expensive. Consider that you paid $200 for an AEG. At $40, this 3.4" mock suppressor costs 20% of what you paid for your gun! I rate this product a 4/5 for the cost reason only. It is very well made, and sexy looking on the rifle, but it will probably be cost prohibitive to some.
If you have the coin and your primary interest is in making your airsoft gun look realistic, then by all means get one of these because it will do just that. The kurz suppressor will make any AEG look impressive.
- Great compact silencerI bought this to put on an Aftermath Broxa MP5. It looks awesome.... The gun runs on a 11.1v Lipo battery, and the silencer changed the sound significantly. It makes a cool metal punching sound, and it's definitely a little quieter. It is a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. This is well made, very realistic, and uber cool. I'd definitely recommend it.
- Not a Boat AnchorIf you're looking for a silencer that hides your extended inner barrel but doesn't weigh a ton, give the Kurz M4 a try. It's a hollow metal shell with a removable cap. Of course removing the cap and filling the mock silencer with sound deadening material is illegal... The trades are nicely laser engraved.
The only reason I didn't give it a 5 out of 5 is it's a little on the fat side for its short length. This in no way hinders the operation and would look right at home on a short outer barreled gun like the KWA KM4-CQB. But on my KM4-TAC it looked a bit too fat and stubby. Still covered my 455mm Systema inner barrel nicely.
- Looks Sweet, Works Great!I use this on my KWA G36c and it looks great on it. Even with my 10.8v battery firing at 20rps, it still works great. If you want a fat, short, great working silencer....Then THIS IS IT!!!!!!!!!!

Roger loses London final
A scintillating and truly exciting game lasting 2hr.14 minutes with some of the most impressive tennis seen this year. Unfortunately the result went against our Champ Roger 6-7(6), 5-7 but he played his part in producing a final to go down in history with a worthy opponent in Djokovic.
'I cannot play much better than I did today so I am very pleased." This was Roger speaking after he had lost out 6-7 (6-8) ,5-7 to Novak Djokovic last night in the O2 arena,London. It was a fascinating game and a fitting end to a high quality championship.
Roger continued "Congratulations to Novak on an amazing year and tournament, you're the best". Roger indeed started well, winning the opening nine points and 12 of the first 14 to take a 3-0 lead. He then won the first point of the fourth game, but Djokovic finally held his serve — and soon broke back.In the ninth game, Djokovic broke again to serve for the set at 5-4, but our Champ evened the score and forced the tiebreaker.
"I shouldn't have been broken as often as I was broken today," said Roger, who lost his serve twice in each set. "But then again, that obviously has something to do with Novak, as well. Obviously I was going to try to go after my shots and not just hand it to him. That's just how I play tennis," said Roger. "If I have 80 errors and I win the match, I don't care. I really don't. Maybe a bit of regret because I had the lead twice first before him," said the two-time defending champion. "At the end of the day, that doesn't matter. You have to get over the finish line in the set and then obviously at the match. He was better at that today."
To start the second set, Roger broke Djokovic and then held all the way to 5-3. A game later and serving for the set, he had two set points but put a forehand wide and then another into the net.The breaker included a candidate for the best point of the year as Djokovic, on set point, lunged to clip a diving Roger volley past his opponent, only for the Swiss to contort his body and fire a forehand winner past the Serb from an impossibly acute angle.Two more mistakes from our Champ put Djokovic back on serve and back on track for the title. The Serb closed it out with the backhand passing winner. An amazing game had finished.
I am so pleased for you and your family that you can take a break for awhile,you so very much deserve this.Stay healthy and remember that you are our true champion and gentleman.Your shots against Djokovic were AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!
Joyeux Noel et Bon Annee to you and your family.
I still don't know how you could lose: you played better than him. Unforced errors you made were the key to his success, suspect that was the lack of practise you were refering to... Please, beat him next time, you can do it!
For me, thou, there are 1000 of RF memories this year, but the famous hug of Mirka & your mom is on top ---
God bless you. Lots of love....
Federer does not spend much time anymore on the practice courts as he used
to do when he had no wife and two children !!!! His focus has been split in two
so it has nothing to do with slow or fast courts......
On the age of 31 injuries will occure more often and will take more time to
heal than on the age of 25 !! As you are saying you are a football watcher
than you will understand because injuries in football are a lot more regular.
We can see him back in 2013.
Thank you,Roger, for this fantastic year!You have given us lots of pleasure!Now have a good rest and stay healthy!
Allez....... Enjoy your vacations.

Republicans Rethink, Reload: Free WSJ E-Book
The morning after the 2012 election, The Wall Street Journal's front page carried this summary of the political landscape: "A campaign year that began with great hope for Republicans….instead ended Tuesday night with the GOP in a cloud of gloom."
It wasn't just that Democratic President Barack Obama had won re-election. It was that he won even though his job approval had been stuck below 50% for months, and the unemployment rate had hovered around 8% for most of the year. He won relatively easily, holding intact the coalition of young, female and minority voters that first put him in the White House. A presidential campaign that once looked very winnable for the GOP had gone awry.
Many Republicans also believed they had blown a chance to reclaim control of the Senate, and blamed tea party activists who took control of the nominating process in some states and produced candidates who were easily caricatured as extremists. The party's most-energized activists, the party establishment felt, had undermined its fortunes.
Republicans had maintained control of the House. Even there, though, they had lost the national popular vote in House races to the Democrats, 48% to 47%. Only favorable mapping of congressional districts saved House control, small solace at a time when the GOP seemed to have had a legitimate chance to win the House, Senate and White House at once.
In the election's aftermath, the party wasn't in agreement on what the problem was. Some thought that, because Republican nominee Mitt Romney had lost despite winning more white votes than any GOP candidate since the 1980s, the outcome was a sign that the party needed to broaden its coalition to include more young and minority voters. Others urged a recommitment to conservative principles that would energize the party's existing base.
Such disappointments and disagreements can set a party into a bout of soul-searching. That's exactly what happened to the Republicans, who embarked on perhaps the most public period of introspection by either party since Democrats tried to regroup after Richard Nixon destroyed George McGovern in the 1972 presidential election.
Get the rest of this story, and a collection of The Wall Street Journal's coverage of the Republican Party's effort to reclaim both houses of Congress, in the free e-book: "The Right Way? Republicans Rethink, Reload for 2014."

PARKERSBURG - The 450 jobs to be brought to the Bureau of the Public Debt in Parkersburg have been put on hold for at least the next six years, officials in Maryland announced Thursday.
A press release issued Thursday stated U.S. Sens. Barbara A. Mikulski and Ben Cardin along with Reps. Donna F. Edwards, Steny Hoyer, Chris Van Hollen, Elijah E. Cummings and John Sarbanes, all D-Md., said the Treasury Department and General Service Administration (GSA) will delay the move of the jobs from Prince George's County, Md., to Wood County until the end of 2019.
The 450 positions are part of a Federal Management Services (FMS) facility in Hyattsville, Md. The Treasury Department announced plans to move the positions to Parkersburg in late November 2013.
Maryland lawmakers fought to keep the jobs in their state.
"Today's announcement is good news for jobs in Prince George's County, for Maryland and for the duty driven civil servants at the Hyattsville FMS facility dedicated to good government and public service," Mikulski said in the press release. "We must have a more frugal government, but not one that hangs our people out to dry."
Parkersburg Mayor Bob Newell said he heard of the plan to delay the jobs Thursday afternoon.
"They're still coming," Newell said. "It's just going to be a slower process."
Newell said he understands the lawmakers in Maryland's decision to allow the employees to have until 2019 to make the decision to move, but he is disappointed they're not coming as quickly.
"I know they are trying to be thoughtful of this for their community," Newell said. "(The city of Parkersburg) still looks forward to the expansion of Public Debt, and the 1,800-plus employees we have here (now)."
U.S. Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., issued a statement in July 2012 in response to the initial proposal to bring the federal jobs to Parkersburg. In the July letter to Secretary Timothy F. Geithner with the U.S. Department of Treasury Rockefeller made a plea for the department to consider the expanded role the addition of jobs to the bureau could have in the Parkersburg area.
He asked to "take into account West Virginia's well-qualified workforce and substantially lower operating costs, as you assess the agency's ongoing needs."
Of the news Thursday, Rockefeller said his main goal is to protect the jobs the bureau now offers in Wood County.
"My priority remains making sure that every single one of the 1,850 jobs currently at the Bureau of Public Debt in Parkersburg stays there," he said Thursday. "Which I made very clear to Treasury Secretary Geither in a letter in July; the Treasury Department has made clear that those jobs will stay in West Virginia."

LIMA, 1 December 2013 – Over 30 ministers and vice ministers of industry from Latin America and the Caribbean region are in the Peruvian capital today for a conference organized by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO).
The UNIDO Ministerial Conference is addressing the importance of industrial production and trade for inclusive and sustainable economic growth in the region, with special reference to the contribution of innovation and technology transfer to sustainable industrial development, and the role of UNIDO in this context.
"There is a growing consensus that countries in Latin America and the Caribbean need to develop pro-active industrial policies on the national and regional level, and UNIDO is ready to support them in this," said the Director General of UNIDO, LI Yong.
"The region has a huge potential to advance economically in the next decades. Its natural resources, population, labour force and regional market will only strengthen the power of the region regarding its economic, political and cultural integration."
Participants noted that manufacturing's share of the region's GDP has gone down over recent decades due to financial liberalization, competitive imports, national and regional structural problems and the low level of direct investment in productive activities.
Speakers suggested that what is needed today is the diversification of the productive structure, especially in the context of the new demands created by the pursuit of sustainability, the promotion of technological progress and the reinforcement of social inclusion. Diversification will make production more knowledge-intensive, and generate positive effects on productivity, competitiveness and decent job creation.
There was agreement that the region must also promote structural change. More diversified and complex economies are more resistant in moments of difficulty and uncertainty. The active role of the State is essential to foster industrialization, with investment directed to the provision of public goods and social policies, said participants.
The Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) region as a whole represents the fifth largest economy in the world (after the EU, the USA, Japan and China), with a GDP of four trillion dollars, and, in terms of PPP (purchasing power parity), it is fourth (after the EU, the USA and China), with a GDP of six trillion dollars. The LAC region has 9 per cent of the world's population, a total that is more than the population of the USA and of the EU members states.
Participants agreed that to enhance industrial development in Latin America and the Caribbean, regional integration must be reinforced. Collectively, countries can deal with structural problems such as deficient infrastructure, insufficiently qualified workers, low levels of investment in research and development, innovation, a low level of competitiveness and productivity and the excessive time needed to create new businesses. Advancements in these areas are essential for regional industrial development, noted participants.

World War Z
Horror / Action
Director: Marc Forster
Running time: 116 mins Released: 21st June 2013
About World War Z
The world descends into chaos when large sections of the population start turning into ferocious zombies overnight. Ex-United Nations investigator Gerry Lane (Brad Pitt) and his wife (Mireille Enos) and two daughters are stuck in a traffic jam when mob panic takes over and they have to abandon their car. Commandeering a van, they travel to Newark so that they can be airlifted to somewhere more secure with the help of Gerry's former boss. In return, Gerry has to help find a cure for the deadly infection. Surprisingly, America has become an arena of devastation while other countries fare better with some inventive methods of zombie control: Israel builds a giant wall to keep the infected out while North Korea removes the teeth of all its inhabitants, making it harder for the infection to spread. Gerry travels the globe garnering information from Army Rangers and government agents and it seems that no land, building or plane is safe.

Police spokesman Ethell Wilson says the 80-year-old woman used sodium azide to kill herself Tuesday in her apartment on the third floor of the landmark Berkeley City Club.
The Oakland Tribune reports ( http://bit.ly/1lMST7G) that the woman left a note warning authorities of the dangerous situation, and hazardous materials crews and bomb squad technicians responded just before 2 p.m.
Other residents and guests were evacuated, but Wilson says there are no reports of injuries.
A person who answered the phone at the hotel hung up when a reporter called for comment.
Sodium azide is commonly found in cars' air bags to make them inflate. It becomes a toxic gas when mixed with water.
A message left with a Berkeley Police Department spokeswoman on Tuesday evening was not immediately returned.

Bamboo laminated with poplar for light weight, durability, and liveliness.
Stealth Rocker is long, low tip rocker with camber under foot and a flat tail for easy turn initiation without sacrificing edge grip and liveliness.
"There are a ton of good all-rounders these days but the Helix is one of the few that gets the job done everywhere from the pow to the steeps to the park."
-Powder Magazine
"This is probably one of the classic and best-loved freeride 100-110mm (+-) waisted skis in existence. I have never heard anyone say they did not like it." -ExoticSkis.com
"This is the ski that does it all. I have skied all condition with these skis and have not been let down. They continue to impress me with willingness to adapt and overcome variable conditions. A hard charging ski through and through."
–Brian Hopper, hopperski.com
"I was looking for a little wider ski for better float in the powder, but not crazy wide. At 105 under foot, this ski is perfect. I've been amazed at the ride over all surfaces and conditions."
–EVO Customer
"I love the Helix. It is a ski that I could take out in Colorado everyday. In fact I have a hard time using anything else. At 105 underfoot it is a true quiver of one. When there is fresh snow it floats like a dream, in the crud it powers through anything and on the hard pack I can still rail gs turns. Also not being too oversized and with a twin tip I can bring it into the park and not skip a beat. And as always with Liberty the graphics are killer. Half the battle is looking good anyway."
–Backcountry.com Customer
–Backcountry.com Customer
"These have become my daily tele drivers. They've been remarkably fun on hardpack and also hold their own in both powder and chopped up powder."
–Backcountry.com Customer
"They ski great, handle speed, turn quite nicely and float just like I would expect them to."
–Backcountry.com Customer
"This ski does it all and is so stable that even icy hard pack is traversable in control. I never thought such a wide ski could be so versatile."
–Amazon.com Customer
At Liberty, we make skis like our lives depend on them. Every ski is designed and tested in the heart of the Colorado mountains. We start with the best materials from around the world, hand-build each pair, and back them with the best warranty in the business. Our goal is to make the best skis possible, treat our customers like our ski partners, and continue to do what we love.
Design philosophy
Liberty has won awards from every major ski publication over the last ten years, but more importantly, has won the trust of countless skiers across the globe. We design skis based on the concept of functional innovation. This simply means we don't add materials or features to our skis unless they improve the ski experience on snow. Our innovations are not included for marketing purposes, but because they will help you ski better, longer and faster in real world conditions. In ski design, simple, strong, and light leads to the best products.
We use the best materials available from around the world, and we never stop looking for ways to improve our skis. Every component we use in our skis is there because we believe it is the best answer to a specific design challenge. We use bamboo because it is the lightest, most durable, and most responsive core material available. We use UHMW PE for our sidewalls because it absorbs impact better than ABS and leads to a smooth ride at higher speeds. Our bases are P-Tex 2000, 4000, and 4000 Electra, because they are the highest quality, fastest bases made. All edges are custom made in Germany with a wider profile, larger anchors, and 2 different hardness ratings to be the most durable for their intended purpose. Liberty uses a unique quadaxial S-Glass for our glass fiber, adding another axis of torsional reinforcement compared to most materials. Additional vibration reduction, and top edge durability is provided by a Durathane polyurethane layer not found in other skis. We use Titanal and FRP mats for additional stiffness and binding screw retention because they are the best materials to use in those applications.
Liberty skis feel different, because they are different. We are not just another brand at some big factory. Look at the materials in most skis, and you will find the same stuff the major brand that owns the factory uses. There is no difference in design, or materials, from brand to brand. We are free to experiment and use whatever works best, without regard to what others are doing.
More about Bamboo
Liberty is the market leader in bamboo technology, and we use this tough, eco-friendly material in all our skis. Liberty has been designing skis around our resilient and light bamboo laminate cores for more than ten years, and even though many companies have followed our lead, we remain the bamboo experts.
Bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants on earth, and can be sustainably harvested without killing the entire organism. The roots stay in the ground when the top is cut; they help control erosion, and then sprout again, to be harvested in 3-5 years. This leaves the forest canopy intact, helps sequester carbon, and creates a sustainable cycle for our raw materials. On top of the environmental benefits, bamboo also happens to make a great ski core. Bamboo has a tensile strength that rivals that of steel, and a very high coefficient of restitution, meaning that it will snap back to its' original shape time after time. That is why our skis have such an energetic, lively feel.
We work with our partners because they are the best at what they do. It is that simple. We believe we make the best skis on the planet, and want our customers to have the best accessories to match their Liberty skis.
Tyrolia makes our bindings, and they are the largest binding brand in the world, with unsurpassed quality, safety, and performance. They are great at what they do, and listened to our requests for a new freeride style A/T binding with low ramp angle, pole control mode adjustment, and high DIN. The Adrenalin is the best freeride A/T binding you can buy.
Komperdell makes some of the most innovative and highest tech ski poles in the world. We partnered with them to produce our super light bamboo and carbon fiber pole, a filament –wound pole that is nearly unbreakable, and a new adjustable A/T pole. We don't make any standard aluminum tubes, but 3 different poles that each answers a specific need for our customers.
Look for a new concept in climbing skins, coming soon from Liberty!
You won't find wizards or pistols on our skis, just original artwork by people who actually live in the mountains. We work with our artists to create images that are evocative of the alpine experience, and that are also nice to look at when they emerge from the powder. We sublimate or direct print the images into the backside of the topsheet to ensure the artwork looks good, year after year.
Final Word
We appreciate all the support over the last 10 years. We have had a lot of fun, and learned some things along the way. We hope to see you in the mountains soon, and we hope you will continue to trust us to make equipment for those epic days when we feel most alive. At Liberty, we make skis like our lives depend on them, because they do. Thanks.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- A fresh-faced Barack Obama buried Republican John McCain in anti-incumbent sentiment four years ago. Now the 2008 presidential nominee says it's the president's turn to feel the heat.
In a telephone interview Tuesday during a campaign swing through Ohio, McCain recalled that "with some legitimacy, Barack Obama hung the Bush record around my neck."
The Arizona senator said turnabout is fair play.
"Now this is the president, incumbent, who said if the deficit wasn't cut in half he shouldn't run again. This is the president that said that if we pass the stimulus package that unemployment would be less than 6 percent," McCain said. "This is the president who we just found out has not shown leadership in the Middle East to the degree where the attack on our U.S. consulate in Libya has turned into a major scandal."
Obama and his Democratic administration have struggled to explain the circumstances that led to an attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has said it was her responsibility, not the White House's, to keep the consulate safe.
McCain said his successor as Republican nominee, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, is justified in highlighting the Obama administration's failings for voters. He named the situation in Libya and a still-struggling U.S. economy as prime targets.
Though the national unemployment rate has fallen to 7.8 percent since the last presidential debate, its first dip below 8 percent in 43 months, McCain said jobs still resonate as an issue with voters in Ohio.
Both presidential campaigns are fighting fiercely for the swing state, which Obama won by nearly 5 percentage points in 2008.
Romney and running mate Paul Ryan have accelerated their Ohio campaigning in the past two weeks. One or both will have led rallies in seven of the last 10 days by Wednesday, when Ryan is scheduled to appear at Baldwin Wallace University in the Cleveland suburb of Fairview Park.
Obama is headed to another campus, Ohio University in Athens, on Wednesday, his third time in the state this month. First lady Michelle Obama has visited Ohio twice this month, and Vice President Joe Biden is headed back next week. Former president Bill Clinton will rally for Obama with music star Bruce Springsteen in Parma, near Cleveland, on Thursday, followed by a Clinton rally at a high school in Wintersville, in eastern Ohio.
McCain stopped short of predicting a Romney win in Ohio or nationally but noted that polls are tightening.
"I can draw a scenario where Mitt Romney can win without Ohio, but it's a very, very difficult path," he said. "And so I think the eyes of the world will be on Ohio and, from the polling that I see -- and this is obviously a very dynamic situation -- we could be up late."
McCain said he expects Obama to do better in the second debate than he did facing Romney the first time. But he said Obama "still has the problem of defending a record that is impossible to defend."
Romney's fate in Ohio could be pivotal for Republican Senate nominee Josh Mandel, the state treasurer trying to unseat Democrat Sherrod Brown. War hero McCain has endorsed Mandel, a two-tour U.S. Marine, and was in the state for a fundraiser with the candidate in the northwest Ohio city of Findlay.
Pinning the "career politician" label on Brown, a veteran congressman, has been one of Mandel's campaign strategies. McCain said it's a hazard all incumbents face.
"Look, all's fair. I'm not complaining about it, but I found myself in a position (in 2008) where I was having to defend President Bush, as well as my own vision for America," he recalled. "And on Sept. 15, when the stock market went down 700 points, we went down dramatically as well."

Houma man pulled from pool in critical condition
Published: Saturday, July 13, 2013 at 9:41 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, July 13, 2013 at 9:41 a.m.
A Houma man was in critical condition Saturday after an incident a day earlier in a local pool, authorities said.
Deputies received a 911 call about 3:45 p.m. Friday reporting a man drowned in a pool at Crestwood Apartment Complex on Levron Street in west Houma, according to the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office.
The victim, Danny Parria, 25, had been removed from the pool by other swimmers and was taken to a local hospital, the Sheriff's Office said.
Detectives learned illegal drugs may have played a role in the incident, the Sheriff's Office says in a news release.

HICKORY, NC -- Paced by Jake Troyli's 26-point outburst, the 18th-ranked Railsplitters handed the Bears of Lenoir-Rhyne University an 82-72 loss in an overtime thriller in South Atlantic Conference men's basketball action on Saturday evening in Hickory, North Carolina. Lincoln Memorial University (12-2, 5-1 SAC) notched their second-consecutive win in league play with
the victory and placed themselves firmly in second in the SAC standings following Carson-Newman's loss to Anderson earlier in the day. For Lenoir-Rhyne (10-4, 3-3 SAC), tonight's loss served as their first in Shuford Gymnasium this season.
Four players reached double-figure scoring for the Railsplitters in the contest, headlined by Jake Troyli's 26-point effort. With 26 points on an outstanding 10-13 effort from the field, Troyli matched a career-high scoring performance dating back to January 11th of last year. The senior forward also tallied six rebounds in 43 minutes of action. Wally Jones provided 16 points and narrowly missed recording a double-double with nine boards. Jones drilled seven of his 10 free throw attempts, marked by a 5-6 effort in the overtime, to lead the LMU back court. Vincent Bailey was also a force down low for Lincoln Memorial, as the junior forward compiled 15 points and a game-high 12 points. Bailey was the catalyst for a dominating 43-26 margin of victory on the glass for LMU on the night. Tonight marked Bailey's second-consecutive double-double and his sixth of the season. Cam Carden poured in 10 points and grabbed five rebounds to round out the double-digit scoring performers for L incoln Memorial. The Railsplitters assisted on 17 of their 30 baskets with Wally Jones leading in that category with six dimes on the night.
The Railsplitters' bench out-paced the Bears 15-11 on the night, headlined entirely by Tim Pierce and Chance Jones. Pierce notched nine crutch-time points, while Jones made his impact felt with six points in 23 minutes of action.
Characteristically, the Railsplitters finished with a 55.6% clip from the field while limiting Lenoir-Rhyne to a 43.3% effort (26-60). Turnovers, however, plagued Lincoln Memorial on the evening, as they committed 25 blunders which led to 27 points for the Bears. The Railsplitters did match that figure in points off turnovers after forcing Lenoir-Rhyne into committing 17
The game was a physical contest as the two teams were whistled for a combined 42 fouls.
R.J. McClure was the spark offensively for the Bears, as he led the team with 23 points, highlighted by an 11-12 effort at the charity stripe. B.J. Beasley recorded a 13-point, 10-rebound outing for the Bears, while Jarvis Perry tallied 10 points. The Railsplitters were able to limit their leading scoring this season, Denzel Dillingham, to eight points on the night on 4-14 shooting.
The two teams met in a 4-4 stalemate at the 17:32 mark of the first half before the Bears rallied with a 6-0 run, capped by a Jarvis Perry steal and layup combo at the 15:45 mark, to take a 10-4 lead. Tim Pierce notched a free throw to cut that deficit to 10-5, however, the Bears scored four more unanswered points to establish a 14-5 advantage with 13:34 to play in the first frame. After trading buckets, the deficit held at nine in favor of the Bears before LMU closed the gap with a 7-0 run over the next 1:58, paced entirely by Jake Troyli, to make it a 16-14 ballgame. L-R would bend but never break over the ensuing minutes of play, as LMU pushed to within one on another layup by Troyli with six minutes exactly to play in the frame. The next 1:18 saw the Bears respond with a 5-0 run to establish a 27-21 lead with only 4:42 left in the stanza. However, in a game marked by the various runs, LMU answered with an 8-2 run, capped by Troyli's second three of the half, to knot the g ame at 29-29 with 2:07 left. The Bears scored on two-straight possessions but LMU replied with a Troyli dunk and a buzzer-beating layup by Tim Pierce as time expired to go into the half all square at 33-33.
The first half of play was headlined entirely by the front court of the Railsplitters, as Troyli tallied 18 of his 26 points in that frame and Vincent Bailey nearly recorded a double-double in the first 20 minutes with nine points and six boards.
As the second half opened, the Railsplitters and Bears traded buckets in four-consecutive possessions to meet in a 37-37 stalemate with 16:05 left in regulation. However, over the next four minutes, Lincoln Memorial stifled the Bears defensively and found their rhythm on the offensive end which led to a 9-0 run, highlighted by seven points from Wally Jones over that stretch. Roby Noyes drained a free throw at the 10:58 mark to cut the score to 48-40 in favor of LMU, but the Railsplitters extended their lead with another 8-0 run, capped by a Vincent Bailey jumper at the 7:33 mark, to assume a commanding 56-40 lead. Cam Carden answered a Jarvis Perry jumper with a three-pointer in the following Railsplitter possession to give LMU their largest lead of the game at 59-42 with only 6:51 left to play.
In a flash, the momentum of the contest swung back in the Bears' favor, as they implemented a full-court press which led to a devastating 12-0 run, capped by a free throw by R.J. McClure at the 4:10 mark of regulation. The Railsplitters were forced into committing six turnovers over that stretch which aided the L-R comeback attempt. Wally Jones ended the LMU scoring drought at the free throw line, knocking down one of his two attempts to extend LMU's lead to 60-54 with only 3:19 remaining. Over the next thirty seconds, the Bears cut the deficit to four on two occassions before the Railsplitters notched a Tim Pierce layup and another free throw by Wally Jones to establish a 65-58 advantage with only 1:10 to play. However, the Bears raced back into the game with a pair of free throws by R.J. McClure, a layup by Trez Shuford and a jumper by Denzel Dillingham to drive the score to 65-64 in favor of Lincoln Memorial with 17 ticks left in regulation. With nine seconds left, LMU bro ke the L-R pressure and Chance Jones was sent to the line where he drained both attempts to give LMU a three-point cushion. However, on their final attempt in regulation, R.J. McClure was fouled on his three-point attempt and drained all three of his free throw attempts to send the game into overtime with the teams square at 67 apiece.
In the extra five minutes, the Railsplitters never trailed. After meeting in a 69-69 stalemate, Lincoln Memorial rolled out to a 79-70 lead behind a 10-1 run, paced by Jake Troyli's four points over that stretch. The Railsplitters limited Lenoir-Rhyne to only a 2-7 mark in that frame en route to an 82-72 victory.
Wally Jones was the story of the final 25 minutes, as the senior guard tallied all 16 of his points over that span to lead the Railsplitters to victory. All told, tonight's contest saw eight ties and four lead changes.
The Railsplitters will look to stay on track in South Atlantic Conference play with their second-consecutive road contest on January 23rd. LMU is set to travel to Jefferson City, Tennessee to take on arch-rivals Carson-Newman College. That game is set to tip at 8 p.m. on Wednesday evening on the campus of Carson-Newman.
