HARROGATE, TN -- The 16th-ranked Railsplitters flaunted their offensive firepower in a 107-75 shellacking of the Lions of Mars Hill College in South Atlantic Conference men's basketball action in Harrogate, Tennessee. Lincoln Memorial University (16-3, 9-2 SAC) rebounded from Saturday's loss to Catawba by recording their highest point total of the season, while Mars Hill sunk to 3-16 overall and 0-11 in league play with the loss.
Lincoln Memorial was dazzling on the offensive end of the floor in tonight's contest, as they finished 45-73 from the floor for a 61.6% mark. Five different players crossed the double-digit plateau and 10 of the 11 players who saw action for LMU recorded a field goal. Senior marksman Cam Carden led all players with 22 points, all but one of which were accrued from his seven-for-nine effort from deep. Carden went a perfect six-for-six from long range in the first half and fell just two three-pointers shy of matching the all-time single-game mark at LMU of nine treys. Senior Jake Troyli was also spectacular in the game, tallying 17 points on eight-of-12 shooting. The Largo, Florida native paced LMU to a 33-27 advantage on the boards with seven rebounds in only 21 minutes.
Along with Carden, Chance Jones and Keenan Peterson headlined a bench effort for the Railsplitters which more than doubled the production of the Lions. Lincoln Memorial's bench supplied a 65-31 advantage in that category. Chance Jones poured in 14 points on six-of-seven shooting, while dishing out four assists in only 20 minutes. Peterson tallied 13 minutes on the floor but made his impact felt with 11 points and three rebounds. Tristan Hicks also sparked the 'Splitters with eight points, and the trio of Vincent Bailey, Lorenza Ross and Dustin Craig netted six points apiece.
Despite the 32-point loss, the Lions showed efficiency on the offensive end, as they capped the contest with a 47.3% mark from the field. Khouraichi Thiam played all 40 minutes for Mars Hill and finished with an 18-point, 11-rebound performance to lead the Lion attack. Thiam went eight-for-12 from the floor en route to rounding out his stat ledger. Jalen Witherspoon matched Thiam's production with 18 points in 35 minutes off the bench for Mars Hill. The Railsplitters did, however, force the Lions into committing 22 turnovers which led to 33 points.
The Railsplitters' offensive potency was aided by a 19-23 effort from the charity stripe, good for 82.6%.
The Lions drew first blood with a jumper by Kevin Haynes to open play, however, Lincoln Memorial answered with a 12-0 run, capped with a jumper by Lorenza Ross at the 15:15 mark to assume command of the game. Over the next six minutes, Mars Hill held sway, driving to within nine on a layup by Jalen Witherspoon with 9:38 left in the period. The Railsplitters effectively took control of the contest over the next two minutes and 17 seconds, as they used a 15-2 run on the wings of three-consecutive three-pointers from Cam Carden to run out to a 40-18 advantage. The Railsplitters continued to push the pace, driving out to a 30-point advantage at 58-28 at the conclusion of the first period.
The second stanza went in complete favor of the Railsplitters, as they never led by less than 26 and amassed as large as a 36-point advantage en route to a 107-75 victory over the Lions.
The Railsplitters, who rank 10th in all of the NCAA Division II in three-point field-goal percentage, outdid themselves with a 72.2% mark (13-18) in tonight's contest, more than 30 percentage points higher than their season average.
Lincoln Memorial will look to ride this hot shooting into Saturday night, as they are poised to host Newberry College in a South Atlantic Conference showdown with the Wolves. That game is slated to tip at 8 pm in Harrogate, Tennessee.

Restaurants in Santa Clara County would be required to be more upfront about major food safety violations under a proposal the Board of Supervisors is slated to consider today.
Supervisor Joe Simitian -- whose district encompasses Palo Alto, Los Altos and Mountain View -- wants food establishments to display either green, yellow or red placards indicating whether they've passed inspection by the county's Department of Environmental Health
To receive a "pass" or green placard, a restaurant cannot have more than one major violation. Those with two or more violations would receive a "conditional pass" or yellow placard.
As per statewide inspection standards, restaurants are required to correct all major violations at the time of inspection. Those that do not would be closed and assigned a "fail" or red placard.
In addition to the placards, restaurants would receive an "easy to understand" 0-to-100 score to reflect their overall compliance with food safety regulations. It would be posted on the Department of Environmental Health's website, along with complete inspection results.
Santa Clara County routinely inspects thousands of food service establishments, but until now the general public has had little access to the information, according to Simitian's office.
"Right now, when you walk into a restaurant, about all you know for sure from a health and safety standpoint is that it hasn't been bad enough to get closed down," the supervisor said in a statement Monday.
"And if nobody knows you're 'just barely good enough,' then there's no real incentive to do better."
Simitian's office called food-borne illness a major public health issue, citing a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that 48 million Americans, or one in roughly six, are sickened every year. Of that number, about 128,000 are hospitalized and 3,000 die.
The Silicon Valley Chamber Coalition, meanwhile, has raised concerns about the proposal, including a $100 fee that would be charged to every food establishment to fund the new system.
In a letter to Board of Supervisors President Mike Wasserman, Chairman Matthew Mahood said the color placard and scoring system would confuse diners. He suggested returning to an earlier iteration of the proposal that involved issuing either a "pass" or "fail."
"While we support the proposal to post the actual health inspection report alongside the 'pass/fail' placard, we believe the numeric and color scoring system to be confusing to consumers in a way that will ultimately be counterproductive to the end goal," Mahood wrote.
"In other words, as we move further towards excessive reporting, we also move further away from the prevention of food borne illness."

WHAT: The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors is scheduled to consider a proposal for a new placard and scoring system for food establishments.

SAN JOSE -- The Sharks realize they need to improve in a number of areas if they want to be serious Western Conference contenders in this lockout-shortened season. But the team's confidence, according to coach Todd McLellan, is not something that should be in need of repair.
Despite collecting just three points in their present seven-game losing streak, the Sharks were not about to waver from their approach as they prepared to take on the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday at Scottrade Center. It's the first meeting between the teams since last year's playoffs, when the Blues dispatched San Jose in five games in the first round.
"When you're not winning and you're not scoring, everybody's confidence isn't probably where it needs to be. But sometimes that's an easy variable to turn to," McLellan said. "People say they've lost their confidence. Like where? In the mall? If you're not as confident, are you working as hard as you need to, are you executing the way you need to, are you playing as fast as you can?
"If the answer to those questions is yes, then you're OK. You'll score eventually. If the answer is no to some of those questions, then don't talk about confidence. Talk about fixing those things."
The Sharks have a power play that's converted just twice in its past 38 attempts, and they've scored just eight goals in the past seven games, but they still have faith in their approach. The problem, general manager Doug Wilson said, is when players try to do too much.
"You try and take the responsibility to go and do something that goes outside our system. You're doing it because you think that helps. It doesn't help," Wilson said. "The trust in how we play repetitively is what allows you to play very well for a long period of time. A lost detail is a lost game.
"One little thing should not be changing how you approach the game."
The Sharks' confidence wouldn't be hurt by a lucky break, either.
"We're definitely prepared for games. We get the scouting report, we get everything," said forward Scott Gomez, who has two assists in 10 games as a Shark. "Right now, hey, we need one to go off someone's (backside) and go in. A couple bounces here or there, it just gets you going."
That almost was the case for the Sharks' fourth line of Marty Havlat, Adam Burish and TJ Galiardi against Nashville on Feb. 12. The combination generated a number of scoring opportunities but didn't get the points to show for it.
"I'm just trying to take it shift by shift," said Havlat, whose six-game scoring drought is one of the longest in his 11-year career. "Doesn't matter if it's me. It's nobody basically right now. We just need somebody to start it, and then everyone is going to follow. Not just about scoring, but the way we play. We need to get better in all parts."

ERC puts €680m into research
24.01.2013 - The European Research Council (ERC) has awarded €680m to 302 top basic researchers in 24 EU countries.
The awards are part of the latest series of the ERC's Advanced Grants, which give up to €2.5m per researcher to pursue ground-breaking ideas at the frontiers of knowledge. Life Science researchers were very successful in this call, bagging 37% of the total funding cake. However, at only 13%, the ERC grant's success rate is very low compared to other funding programmes. The European Commission has proposed to expand the ERC's budget significantly in its 2014-2020 innovation programme Horizon 2020. Negotiations with the member states about the long-term EU budget including Horizon2020, however, were cancelled at the end of last year. This is why the ERC has now begun to extend its lobbying activities.
ERC representative Helga Nowotny, thus, for the first time attended the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos to embrace industry and policymakers. "The health and wealth of future societies greatly depend on maintaining the long-term perspectives that science offers," said ERC chief Nowotny.."Investment in research, education and innovation is even more important in times of budgetary austerity, in Europe and elsewhere. Leaders from all fields, including business, understand this dynamic, but need to find novel ways of joining forces. We truly believe that science, as well as technology and innovation, will emerge as a common theme of interest to shape the agenda of the future decades".
The idea to catalyse actions for putting science, technology and innovation on the global agenda has already started and is likely to be prominent in this year's forum. There is growing awareness amongst policy-makers worldwide and public research organisations, of the fact that globalisation of science offers unprecedented opportunities for cooperation. In Davos, one of the sessions will be devoted to how decision-makers, business, civil society and academia can join forces to build a new vision based on frontier research, scientific discoveries and innovation.

Rosa Parks statue to be unveiled in Washington next week
Published: Saturday, February 23, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 22, 2013 at 11:42 p.m.
MONTGOMERY | Officials plan to unveil a statue at the U.S. Capitol in Washington of the woman whose actions sparked the Montgomery bus boycott nearly 60 years ago.
President Barack Obama is scheduled to attend a ceremony on Wednesday for the unveiling of the statue of Rosa Parks.
The civil rights pioneer will be the first African-American woman to be honored with a full-size statue in the Capitol, House Speaker John Boehner said.
Parks refused to give up her seat to a white man on a Montgomery city bus in 1955. Her arrest prompted the bus boycott and helped start the modern civil rights movement.
The Montgomery Advertiser reported that the 9-foot-tall image of Parks is the first full-sized statue to be funded by Congress since 1873.
"All of the statues in this building are important, but none honor an African-American woman — that is, until next week, when Mrs. Parks takes her rightful place alongside the inventors, war heroes, freedom fighters and doers who represent the heart of the American story. It's another breakthrough for someone who has made so many of them possible," said Boehner, R-Ohio.
The legislation commissioning the statue was signed by President George W. Bush in 2005 a few weeks after the death of Parks, the first woman to lie in honor in the Capitol Rotunda.
The National Endowment for the Arts and the Capitol architect conducted a national competition to select the design of the statute.
Eugene Daub was selected as the master artist and sculptor, and partner Rob Firmin was the project manager. They are with the California-based Daub & Firmin Sculpture Studios.

Moundville gears up for Native American Festival
Published: Sunday, September 22, 2013 at 11:15 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, September 22, 2013 at 11:20 p.m.
Moundville Archaeological Park is gearing up for its 25th annual Native American Festival.
October events in Tuscaloosa
Oct. 5: University of Alabama homecoming football game vs. Georgia State at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Kickoff time TBA. The homecoming pep rally and bonfire will be at 7 p.m. Oct. 4 on the Quad.
Oct. 9-12: Moundville Native American Festival at Moundville Archaelogical Park. Nine a.m.-3:30 p.m. Oct. 9-10; 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Oct. 11-12.
Oct. 19-20: Kentuck Festival of the Arts at Kentuck Park in Northport.
9 a.m.-5 p.m. both days.
The festival began during the 50th anniversary celebration of the park itself and has grown to accommodate about 12,000 people every year.
"It was in the little ellipse in front of the museum," said Betsy Irwin, director of the Moundville Native American Festival. "It was a ring of demonstrating people — some of them sold things and some of them didn't."
After the first five or six years, the festival was broken up into different components rather than one big area. Included are a living history area, a market, children's area, art demonstrations and stage for dancers, storytellers and musicians. As an educational festival, all of the different areas work to teach the children and families who visit the festival.
"We started thinking up different components that would be engaging to mainly school kids and also to families," she said. "One of the areas we came up with was the children's area — it's a hands-on row of tents where kids do very quick activities that generally make a single point."
Irwin gave the example of the beaded necklace children are given the opportunity to make in the hands-on area. As the children make their own small necklace, they will learn the significance of it in southeastern Indian culture. Then, as they walk around the park, they'll see people in the living history demonstration wearing them, see artifacts in the museum and hear about them from storytellers on stage.
The Moundville Native American Festival focuses on the southeastern Indian culture, which includes a lot of the Mississippi River and its tributaries. Irwin said Indian cultures across the country were very different in many ways.
"There are many different Native American cultures in North and South America," she said. "They speak different languages, they'll have different marriage customs, they'll have different ways of recognizing who is a relative or not, different religions and different art traditions."
The Moundville site, which was occupied from around 1000-1450, was a large settlement of Mississippian culture on the Black Warrior River, according to their website.
People set up in the living history area will be dressed in the Mississippian culture style from the last 1700s to early 1800s and teaching about the culture of that time period. Paula Nelson, this year's storyteller, will also be dressed in the Mississippian style and speaking about Cherokee culture.
"She'll be telling traditional Cherokee stories," Irwin said. "A lot of them will involve animals. A lot of the different stories that southeastern people tell talk about animals."
The festival runs from Wednesday, Oct. 9, to Saturday, Oct. 12. On Wednesday and Thursday, hours are 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and hours on Friday and Saturday are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is $10 for adults and $8 for children.
Irwin said the festival is always looking for volunteers. Those interested in volunteering can find out more on the website, moundville.ua.edu.__________

The recent stag hunting debate highlighted an increasing divide in Irish society: Dublin vs. the rest.
Of course, this phenomenon really just represents the latest manifestation of the centuries-old distinction between the Pale and the rest of Ireland. It is also a reinvigoration of a debate that has raged ever since the Grimm brothers wrote the story "Town Mouse and Country Mouse."
Underlying much of the recent commentary emanating from Dublin are snide assumptions that rural Ireland consists essentially of uneducated barbarians. The facts, however, suggest precisely the opposite: Take the HEA report "Who Went to College in 2004? A National Survey of New Entrants to Higher Education"
As in previous reports, counties along the western seaboard all enjoy the highest rates of admission to higher education with Sligo at 70.5%, followed by Galway (67.4%), Kerry (67%) and Mayo (66.8%). Dublin however, sits close to the bottom of the table with only 50.8% going to third level, falling to 11.7% in Ballyfermot.
Allied the fact that crime rates are far higher in Dublin than in rural Ireland, the unavoidable conclusion is that uneducated barbarians are in fact within the Pale, not outside of it.
Yet, you wouldn't think it to read The Irish Times. Take for example a recent article: "The future is urban, where 'Up Mayo' politics won't do."
Typical of the readers comments it provoked were: "Can't we just split the country in two. Have pales of civilisation, and leave all the farmers and their rural representatives to live as they choose. We could have two different time zones. One on Greenwich Meridian Time [sic.], and the other thirty years in the past."
Zulu time, indeed. Others yearned to see politicians with "IQs higher than room temperature and followers who care more about their country than obtaining planning permission for a cow-shed."
It is unfortunate to see such sneering hostility emerging. Yet there is no doubt that we are beginning to see two Irelands emerge with markedly contrasting values and lifestyles: Greater Dublin and the rest of Ireland.
Dr. Lorcan Sirr and Conor Skehan who jointly wrote the piece, both lecture in the college of engineering and the built environment at Dublin Institute of Technology. They say "The Rubicon was crossed in 1966 when the urban and rural populations of Ireland were exactly equal for the first time. Since then, Ireland's urban area and its population have increased considerably and now almost 60 per cent of Ireland's population live in urban areas across the State. Around Dublin, the urbanised area has increased by about 150 per cent from 1990 to 800sq km in 2006."
"Research by urban economist Brian Hughes, a member of the Government's own Expert Group on Population Projections, shows that by around 2070, more than half of Ireland's population will be living in the Greater Dublin Area….The future is people and the future is urban."
This statement overlooks one simple fact: nobody in an idyll in Commemara dreams of one day moving to Cabra or Blanchardstown – yet thousands do the opposite every day, sitting blearily on a bus in noisy city traffic, dreaming of a cottage on the Aran islands.
I was one of them myself, until I bit the bullet and abandoned a career in a top Dublin law firm for a better life in West Cork. The reasons are obvious to many of the other urban refugees here, many of whom are Dubliners, born and bred: Amidst the rolling pastures of west Cork, ordinary people, teachers and farmers have spacious homes of the sort Dublin's millionaires could only dream of, together with acres of gardens, something that is impossible in the city. Added to that are the miles of golden beaches, myriad sheltered harbours and woodlands, as well as vibrant and colorful towns, along with airports, hospitals and all the usual facilities close at hand.
For decades now, people have left England, Holland, Germany, and the U.S. to make a home in west Cork and other similar parts of rural Ireland. In addition to our more recent Eastern European and African immigrants, this makes west Cork a truly cosmopolitan place.
Ah, you may have fresh air says Town Mouse, but what about culture and theatre? For starters, there's Kinsale arts week this week, the Cork Midsummer's festival, the West Cork chamber music festival, the West Cork literary festival -- or head out to Cape Clear island for the storytelling festival.
It is a similar picture of thriving cultural and community life throughout all of rural Ireland, from Waterford to Donegal. And there is nothing wrong with the traditional Irish values of family, humility, friendliness, community either, nor the more human pace of life.
In their analysis of the inevitability of the Ireland's shift form rural to urban, Sirr and Skeehan appear not to have heard of that internet thing, nor of the recent development of Ireland's hard Infrastructure. I live in west Cork but, due to the internet, I work mostly in Britain and the United States. My next door neighbour works mostly in India and Russia.

I've also used my imagination to help others heal themselves. I once went to visit a Hopi rattke maker in Arizona. It took all of my intuitive powers to find her house up high in the mountains, having to make choices of which way to go every hundred feet or so. When I arrived, her granddaughter was crying in pain, holding her ears. She had had a terrible earache for twenty-four hours. Instinctively, I approached the five-year-old and told her, "I'm going to put my hand on your ear and take away the pain. I want you to see the pain. What does it look like? What shape is it? What color? What does it sound like? Does it smell? How would you feel if you touched it? Now I want you to imagine it leaving your ear and entering my hand." She looked up at me with huge brown eyes full of trust. I put my hand on her ear, held it there a few minutes, and then ran to the door and blew the pain out of my hand and closed the door. Within seconds the pain was gone. Her grandmother, the rattle maker, stood there grinning from ear to ear. "That's what my grandfather would have done," she said, "He was a shaman."In a few minutes, the room seemed to fill with people. Someone placed a chair in the middle of the room and people took turns sitting in it, asking for a healing. Headaches, sores, back pains, and so on. In each case I trusted myself to do what came naturally. It's a day I'll never forget, as I discovered the range of my healing powers as they were drawn out by people for whom healing power was natural medicine. Imagination is powerful. Imagination is healing. All you need is the courage to visualize what should be, and then give yourself to its creation. The result may not be what you expected, but it will be right.

Okay, I stumbled across this, and like the fact that it is designed specifically for PS3 ... I'm using it under FreeBSD 7-STABLE, and it seems to run well, except that it doesn't appear to work under JDK1.5, once I installed jdk1.6, it was able to be found by my PS3 ... good so far.
Now, I'm new to this whole 'media server' concept, and having tried mediatomb first off, and not finding it there, am doubting that this si something for media servers but ... is there no way of doing a delete of media *from* the media client itself? I realize in a shared environment, you wouldn't want this by default, but where one is dealing with a pure 1 server to 1 client environment, is this not possible? If not by PS3 Media Server itself, is this not allowed by the specs and just not implemented yet?
Assuming this is not available, how are ppl managing their media? I have a box with 25 episodes of The Daily Show, as an example ... if I watch 3 of them, assuming there is no way to delete *from* the PS3, how are ppl dealing with this? I find it hard to believe ppl are writing down the episodes they watch, goin gto the media server itself, logging into the shell and then removing files ... ? Or are they ... ?
Also, what is on port 5001? Going via a web browser doesn't bring me up anything, so is this what hte PS3 talks to?

Researchers say chocolate can be a cure for cough relief. A chemical in cocoa beans may be more effective then the codeine in cough syrup.
After a study in the United Kingdom, sixty percent of patients saw improvement in getting rid of their cough. Doctors say it's not an actual cure, but why not eat a bar or two of chocolate if it could help you.

School Bus Strike Set for Wednesday
By Lisa Fleisher and Rachel Cromidas
New York City school bus drivers will go on strike Wednesday, leaving thousands of students without a guaranteed ride to class, the president of the bus drivers union said Monday.
Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1181, which represents drivers and matrons, wants the city to force private bus companies to hire drivers based on seniority, but Mayor Michael Bloomberg said it would be illegal to include that requirement in new contracts.
"This is about safety and experience," union president Michael Cordiello said. "This is not a decision we have arrived at lightly, but an action we must take."
Union officials have threatened to strike for several week as the city is poised to open bidding for contracts for the first time in 33 years. The ATU local represents 8,800 members, about 60 % of drivers and 40 % of matrons.
City education officials, saying they won't change their stance on the job protections, have set up back-up plans for transporting children to school.
"As Chancellor Walcott and I have said, the City will take all steps available to ensure that those who are impacted have the support they need, and we are now activating the protocols we put in place in the event of a strike," Mayor Bloomberg said in a statement. "Let me be clear: the union's decision to strike has nothing to do with safety and everything to do with job protections that the City legally cannot include in its bus contracts."
Cordiello said that, in their discussions, city officials "never offered any solutions." He said the city has several options, such as extending the current contracts, issuing a request for proposal that includes job protections or pulling back its call for bids.
Merieme Rafik, a Bay Ridge parent of four, said the strike would hit her family particularly hard because two of her children are autistic and take buses to schools in another part of Brooklyn and on Roosevelt Island.
"Just to go there, I have to take three trains and a bus," she said. "We would have to take him in a car service."
That could be tough for Rafik, a stay-at-home mother, and her husband, who works as a plumber and sometimes must work late into the evening.
"It's really hard, and now it's going to be extra, extra, extra hard," she said.
Lisa Quinones-Fontanez, of Parkchester, said she has not figured out how she will take her autistic son to school in Westchester without the city's school buses running.
"My son is used to his routine: being taken down to the school bus and being driven to school," she said. "If I were to take off work, if I were to take him on Metro-North, I've never done that before. I've never taken him to school. I think it would just throw off his day."
Quinones-Fontanez, who doesn't have a drivers license, said she is reluctant to use a taxi service because of the cost. City officials have vowed to reimburse parents for the cost of alternative transportation during a bus strike, but she worries she could be out several hundred dollars over a period of months while waiting for the reimbursement requests to be processed.
When asked about the inconvenience to parents, Cordiello put the blame at Bloomberg's feet.
"The mayor's inconveniencing them by not coming to the table and negotiating with us a solution," he said. "They mayor can end the strike. The mayor can come and talk to us and end the strike."
The NYC School Bus Contractors Coalition, which represents the major bus companies, put out a statement denouncing the strike, saying it will try to "safely operate" during a work stoppage. "While we are the employers, this dispute is strictly between the union and the city."
The coalition plans to file unfair labor practice charges with the National Labor Relations Board.

Uh oh, Reimer left the Leafs game injured!
I would enjoy that series as well, but I'd be rooting for Chicago because I hate Boston (owning the Leafs over the last few years might have something to do with that) and I have some nostalgia for the old (Chuck) Norris division.
Uh oh, Reimer left the Leafs game injured!

Scrivens was decent coming in cold to cover for Reimer. Doesn't sound like Reimer will be sidelined for long so there's no panick on the Leafs end to make a deal for Lu.
Who said anything about Luongo????
23-3 at Avatar/Sig/Self Ban
I actually feel bad for the Habs fans. Leading 3-0 with 6 minutes to go and they manage to sh1t the bed and send the game into OT letting in 3 goals in 5 minutes. Luckily they pulled it out in the shootout but damn...

By the way, I saw last night that as bad Boston's PP is, it''s actually not the worst, which is pretty hard to believe. Apparently there are couple teams that are worse, one of them just happens to be the New York Rangers
.........how the hell is that possible? A PP of Brad Richards, Marion Gaborik, Rick Nash, Derek Stepan and Marc Staal can't friggin score?!?!?!
By the way, I'm including the video of the last couple goals from last night, just because it's Marchand who gets the last one and I know everyone hates him...

Apparently the Sens are trying to curb the amount of Leaf fans that go to the games, I guess Alfie is tired of getitng booed in his own barn.
Not really, no one boo's in the ACC....they just don't cheer either.
You have to go to Buffalo, Ottawa or any of the Florida teams to hear vocal Leaf fans.

South Korea
Asia Pacific Economic Outlook, June 2013
South Korea's economy appears to be on its way up, as economic indicators and policy action point to improving growth prospects. However, growth is not likely to move above pre-economic crisis levels.
South Korea's economy appears to be on its way up, as economic indicators and policy action point to improving growth prospects. Quarterly GDP growth hit a two-year high in the first quarter of 2013, aided by strong showing in construction, investment, and exports. Encouragingly, the pace of expansion is expected to pick up as fiscal stimulus measures and monetary policy easing start to have an impact. Among the key components, consumption spending is likely to benefit from low unemployment and a boost to real wages from low inflation. Despite a better showing in Q1 2013, investment remains relatively weak. However, it is expected to edge up as domestic consumer sentiment improves and the global trade cycle moves up. On the exports front, recovery in the near term is likely to be muted given continued Eurozone weakness and declining growth rates in China.
Improving prospects for industry and consumer spending
Economic activity has got a boost from a gradual strengthening of industrial output and consumer sentiment. Industrial production growth turned positive (1.7 percent year over year) in April after two previous contractions. On similar lines, purchasing managers' index figures for the month show manufacturing activity expanding at the fastest pace in more than two years. Growth was driven by new orders, both domestic and foreign, although the former's pace of expansion was higher. This augurs well for domestic consumption growth in the second quarter, given its subdued performance in Q1 2013. This view is supported by growing consumer sentiment: The Bank of Korea's (BOK's) composite consumer-sentiment index went up to 104 in May from 102 in April, and matches the one-year high in March. Along with improving perceptions of economic activity, consumption growth is also likely to benefit from low inflation (which aids real wage growth) and low unemployment. Most importantly, both consumption and investment are likely to benefit from a recently approved fiscal stimulus plan as well as monetary policy easing.
The twin policy push: Fiscal and monetary policy gear up to support the economy
In May, the South Korean parliament ratified a $4.8 billion stimulus plan to aid small and medium enterprises, prop up worker incomes, and boost corporate investments and the real estate sector through tax incentives. The government expects these measures to push up GDP growth by 0.3 percentage points and create 40,000 jobs. The stimulus package is part of a $15.4 billion supplementary budget by the new government, to be funded entirely through new borrowing. As a result, the fiscal deficit is projected to rise to about 1.8 percent of GDP in 2013 from a previous target of 0.3 percent. However, the deficit is manageable, and sovereign risk perceptions are not likely to rise given the low level of public debt (36 percent of GDP), current account surplus (3.8 percent of GDP), and high total reserves ($323 billion excluding gold).
The fiscal push this quarter has been complemented by monetary policy easing. With inflation at a 14-year low (1.0 percent year over year) in May and well below its target rate of 2.5–3.5 percent, the BOK eased its policy rate by 25 basis points in May to boost growth and prevent the South Korean won's sharp rise against the Japanese yen. In the six months prior to the rate cut, the yen had fallen more than 20 percent against the won, denting South Korea's export competitiveness vis-à-vis Japan. The BOK's move is likely to help break this trend.
Quarterly GDP growth hit a two-year high in the first quarter of 2013, aided by strong showing in construction, investment, and exports.
No sharp uptick in export growth in the near term, though prospects seem better for 2014–2015
Demand for South Korean exports remains subdued, given economic weakness in key export destinations. Deteriorating price competitiveness in relation to Japanese firms (due to strong yen depreciation) has not helped either, although the recent BOK rate cut is likely to help partially bridge the gap. In such a scenario, a sharp recovery in exports is not expected. However, the country is likely to benefit from a gradual improvement in the global trade cycle in 2014–2015 due to recovering global growth. Also providing encouragement is the fact that the US economy has proved resilient against sharp fiscal cuts. Signs of improving export fortunes for South Korea are already visible, with exports rising 3.2 percent year over year in May on the back of surging shipments of mobile and telecommunication goods. Most importantly, demand seems to have risen sharply in two key markets: the United States (21.6 percent year over year) and China (16.6 percent year over year).
The country faces both economic and political risks
The economy, however, continues to face near- and medium-term risks. On the external front, any growth destabilization in the United States and China will hit exports. Things could get worse if the BOK's recent rate cut fails to dent appreciation of the won. On the domestic front, high household debt poses a risk to consumer spending in the medium term. Household debt as a share of disposable income currently stands at about 150 percent, and any potential bout of deleveraging would dent consumer spending and thereby GDP growth. Other irritants likely to weigh on growth include the lack of reforms to boost the country's services sector, the high concentration of economic power in a few large corporates (chaebol), and reconciling social-sector spending objectives with greater fiscal prudence. In addition to economic factors, the risk from a conflict with North Korea seems elevated. However, any full-scale conflict with the North is not likely (despite rising rhetoric from that country), although small skirmishes cannot be ruled out.
Despite risks, growth is likely to pick up in 2013
These risks notwithstanding, economic growth is likely to increase in 2013 and then accelerate in 2014–2015. GDP growth is expected to be in the range of 2.5–3.0 percent this year (up from 2.0 percent in 2012), aided by a policy push and consumer spending recovery in the latter half. The pace is then expected to accelerate to 3.5–4.0 percent in 2014–2015, as export growth picks up due to faster global economic growth. Export recovery and improved consumer sentiment will also push up domestic investment. However, growth is not likely to move above the levels witnessed prior to the global economic crisis.

Mary!!! my long lost friend!!! Well I've been benched for a while myself this year....SF put me on the bench in September and I've struggled since. Tried to come back once I got the all clear to fast and benched myself again last week. for a runner, that's the kiss of death. As you know I was a steadfast 6 day a week gal....big mileage was my deal. Well I can now tell you that I cross train like a fool. Started as necessity and now I enjoy swimming and biking. If I have to be honest, I was totally tired of being in pain all the time with my running so the SF most likely was the result of not only my over training but also the result of my overcompensating for other annoyances. I know you used to weight train, not sure is you still are...try some biking or some swimming if you can. It might help heal that injury and restore your love for the run. I'm hoping to be back on the road fully recovered by janaury...i've got 3 halfs i'm registered for in the spring.
ps happy thanksgiving!
Cyndi! You half marathoning fool! You really are a mileage gal, for sure.
SF? (Can't make my brain think what that is.) I actually did a lot of cycling this summer to cross train and it did help. But I just don't love it like running. I am still promising myself that as soon as the weather turns wintry, I am taking off running and doing some different workouts. No really! But like today it was 60 degrees with a clear, blue sky and tang of autumn in the air. Who could not run! And I have good days and bad days that don't even seem to make sense. Yesterday I punished myself through barely 3 miles of pain until I finally threw in the towel (one of those "I'll never run again" days.) Today I easily popped off 4 miles with no pain whatsoever and could have easily ran a couple more miles if I had time. Go figure. ???
Its good to hear from you, I'll go check out your FB page and see what you've been up to. One day I will get up there to visit my family (I have been promising them forever) and we'll go for a run!
SF = Stress Fracture....the runners worst nightmare. UGH!!! Bought me a great bike and joined a pool and swimming right now is my thing (I loved to bike but almost froze my tootsies off so the Stud (aka my bike) has been put into mothballs until spring...boo!!! If you hadn't figured it out, after my 3 halfs in the spring I'm gonna give triathalons a whirl...would be a shame to waste all this cross training...lol. I took myself off FB for a while...message me here!!
Stress Fracture - OWWW! That is one thing you CAN'T run through even if you want to.
Mary - So sorry to hear your still struggling with your knee injury I recently had to take 4 weeks off running (and cross training) due to a pulled piriformis muscle. It was during the middle of training for a marathon too, I had got up to my 13 mile long run before it happened. (I was averaging about 25 miles/week). When it finally healed, I came back slowly (3 slow runs a week of 1-2 miles).
For the first week back, I got out of breath very easily, but the fitness came back surprisingly quick. My first run back was September 29th (0.7 miles). On October 17th I ran a 5k only 45 seconds off my PR, and on October 30th I set a 3 minute PR in the half-marathon. If anything, my running has gotten stronger after taking time off. All is not lost Good luck, I hope you get this injury put to rest!
~Cristina~ (@mission262)
Currently training for:
Electric City Gobbler 5k 11/25/20
Kiawah Island Half-Marathon 12/11/10
Shamrock Marathon 3/20/11
No need to mothball your bike, get a trainer (cost around 100-150) you can ride all day long in your house, garage or basement. Same as biking you just don't move.
After my cataract surgery I had to take a month off. I ran a 4 mile race with 2 days training and I hurt but I also had lost a lot of speed. It took almost 2 months to get my speed back, so I know what time off does. I also know about hurting knees. I started running (kinda late in life at 53) so hurting knees was sort of expected. With exercises given to me by my doc I strengthened the knees. They still hurt (as I am old) but with Advil I am comfortable running. This year I have done a lot (11 HM, 1 17K, 2 10K, 1 15K, 2 8K, 4 Sprint Tris & 3 Olympic Tris) and one more HM to go. I am now training for a marathon. To guide me I found this neat book referenced on Runners World. Run Less Run Faster. At first I thought it would be an easy training program which would give me great results. Nope it is more in intense. Now to the point. The authors recognize that running wears down your knees, so less running is good for your knees. Well I wondered how do get faster if you run less. Cross training. They recommend swimming and spinning or biking. Especially swimming. Their approach is not easy cross training but hard cross training. That way you don't lose your endurance. Since I just started the program I can't tell you the final result, but I have been getting better and better PRs with their approach. I do all swimming, biking and spinning. The good thing is my knees don't hurt very much when I run. Thus I suggest and the authors recommend, do cross training until your knees feel better. Hope that helps.
I had to take two weeks off running (or any exercise) this Summer when my son was hospitalized. Although I felt a big sluggish those first couple of runs, I seemed to get right back into it. And honestly in the long run (LOL) I think it helped that I took that time off (not that I had a choice).
Thanks, everyone, for sharing your stories. I have a fear a lot of runners have which is that if I stop - even for a week - I'll stop altogether. It is kind of a variation on the law of physics that an object in motion tends to stay in motion and an object at rest tends to stay at rest.
How has it been going? Any update?
Worried that a week off will put you in danger of stopping altogether? It ain't gonna happen - not after what you said you've done through the years to get your runs in. I have a somewhat similar story. I've run at 4:00AM because that was the only time of day I could do it. I've run when it's -10 deg F. I've run in small circles because the compound where I was staying for a business trip was the only safe place I could go. I've been battling foot issues for 2 *years* and I still think of myself as a runner who is sidelined temporarily. It's not that I haven't been able to run at all - but my previous and now desired mileage of 25 mpw just hasn't been happening. This past summer I was up to 12 mpw - but then the wheels came off after I went on a backpacking trip. I haven't run at all since August.
As you hopefully have now experienced you're not going to lose fitness in a week. Having pain after a week off and starting to use phrases like "....maybe my running days are over." - well - we're not going to LET you out of the running community that easily. Basically you've got some work to do. Work to figure out what is going on with the knee. You said you're underemployed and have little (no?) benefits, however knees are NOT something to mess around with. I would definitely NOT run through the pain - especially if you're experiencing catching. All these resources (forums, Google, etc.) can help a lot in having an amateur (like you and me) figure out what is going on. I'm not talking self-medicine, but rather fairly aggressive amateur research and reading about knee issues, what they are, how they're treated, prognosis, etc. There is a user on the runnersworld.com Injuries forum (mmrocker13) who knows a TON about knees. You might look for some of her posts and/or PM her.
Hang in there. I hope things have improved.
"Kick off your high heel sneakers, it's party time."
-- From the song FM by Steely Dan
Thanks, Jim! I appreciate all the encouragement. I know I'm not the only one who struggles with frustration when the desire to run is thwarted by physical issues. I have better days and worse days. On a "good" day I can run an hour with little or no pain and I think I've turned the corner. On a "bad" day I can barely walk, much less run and I don't think I'll ever run again. It goes back and forth. The weather here has turned colder and its almost winter - my projected stopping point - but now I've pushed it back to after the holidays. I think I'm the only person in the world whose New Year's Resolution will be to STOP running!
I'll check out the knee thing...thanks again.
I know the feeling...I ran a half marathon in May and suffered a tibial stress fracture and then went and ran another in June. That was really silly of me because I couldn't walk for days. I still have a bit of tendonitis in my ankle because of this and it took me a long time to heal but I was still able to run a full marathon in October! I couldn't have been happier with my time because I really didn't train for it and I believe if you are a conditioned runner your body bounces back in shape pretty quickly.
I think that my running shoes caused my tibial sf and I too was also getting knee pain but now that I have the proper shoes the knee pain went away. The pain would always seem to hit me at mile 7.
I also used a special heat wrap on my ankle daily that is suppose to heal soft tissue injuries. Might be something you could try on your knee.
Hope your knee heels quickly and good luck to you!

Last month the Texas Supreme Court affirmed the fact that landowners in Texas have an ownership interest in the water that's under their property.
"On one hand, that means that ground water districts cannot unreasonably restrict a landowner from being able to benefit from the groundwater under their property."
Texas Water Resources Institute Director Neal Wilkins says the Supreme Court ruling is a double edged sword.
"On the other hand, it means that a landowner can protect that ground water, so that someone else, perhaps a neighbor that, or maybe a municipality that they feel is pumping too heavily and depleting their ground water."
Jess McCrory farms in Robertson County.
"I'm not totally at ease that we just don't have any more of a problem, and I don't think anyone else thinks that we just don't have any problem at all with water."
McCrory says it's easy to see why there's tension on both sides.
"There's always going to be a controversy, and going to be a strife between the cities and the landowners and the agricultural interest for water, but now there has to be, there has to be, we have to come to some conclusion to that because we need both. I mean we need to produce food and fiber, we need people to have the water to drink."
The general lack of understanding of agriculture by non-ag interests doesn't help when looking for a resolution to the problem.
"We're trying to be good stewards of the water and plus be good stewards of our land, and we would like for them to be able to understand that and to do the same thing."
"We're not watering to make the farm pretty, we're watering to make a crop."
