Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (243 votes).
In short: A lovely run along the coastDate of review: February 13, 2011
In short: Typical Portsmouth weather made it a real challenge!In full: The wind and rain made this race a real challenge, but also added to the atmosphere as runners looked at each other with "what on earth are we doing??" expressions.The multi-terrain element made it a lot of fun, and combined with the weather I'm surprised that anyone would get near a PB, but I didn't have any expectations of that.I found it to be well organised, decent medal and reasonable goodie bag, and a very fair price. I'd love to try it again on a sunnier day when the scenery might appear to better advantage!No real gripes - it was a tough run and something different from the half-marathons I've done previously, and although the field seemed to be mostly experienced runners, there was certainly a smattering of fun runners too and the overall atmosphere was one of good cameraderie.Date of review: February 13, 2011
In short: Enjoyable, wet & muddy raceIn full: Inspite of the weather, the off-road sections & the mud I managed a PB so well pleased.Date of review: February 13, 2011
In short: Love running the RNLI races always great support and well organisedIn full: Really appreciated the use of the pyramids as a shelter before and after the race. Great value for money and took full advantage of the sports massages :) Date of review: February 13, 2011
In short: nice race, enjoyed the weather!In full: It was my first half marathon and I loved it. I loved the weather and the off road section, mud on the beach, it was great. I'm a trail runner so no amount of mud is a problem to me or rain for that matter. Well done marshalls for putting up with the weather, great local encouragement from the public, passing people must have throught we were all barmy to go out in this weather. The only 2 down points for me: put in the race info that car parking machines do not accept notes, I only had a five pound note on and the bar has run out of coins, it took me 30 minutes to find enough money to pay for my car in coins. The other point is ridiculous raffle like pieces of paper for baggage, mine flew out of my pocket, should be based on the race number and we should have been given tags with out race numbers to put on. Overall very pleased with myself as in those conditions got pretty good time and I was running with injury too. Date of review: February 13, 2011
In short: A superb challenge - windy, wet, muddy but not too cold, still fast and fun. Thanks to the marshals too.In full: I enjoyed this run immensely. Having heeded the weather forecast and dressed accordingly, the mid-winter coastal weather was not a problem. I got a real buzz from the multi-terrain (occasionally muddy and wet but easily negotiated), but also, the downwind flat miles were fast. Mile 12-13 is directly upwind but that's when you know you're nearly home, so who cares?Well done marshals and organisers - the hot soup at the finish was a really nice touch. I'll be back next year for sure.Date of review: February 13, 2011
In short: Would of scored higher but weather was terrible. it seemed to lack in atmosphere, again due to the weather!Date of review: February 13, 2011

Run or Die: The Kilian Jornet Way - Page 2We have been running in single file for some time, and no one wants to go on the attack. Tarcis takes the initiative and is leading the group at a very fast pace. I've positioned myself immediately behind him in order to react as quickly as I can if he decides to make a move. I have two cards to play: the first is to attack down the side where there are huge boulders and, using my technique, fire off 3 miles from the finish line, which would give me some margin to play with. The second is to start my attack later, on the last downhill slope, just under 2 miles from the line.
While I'm thinking about what might be the best strategy, Tarcis starts accelerating, making it increasingly hard to keep up the pace, and we start to fall a few yards behind. He speeds up and looks to be making his definitive spurt. He is leaving Robert and César behind. Perhaps now is the time for me to attack ... I look behind. They look as if they have accepted defeat. I am just about to change pace in order to pass Tarcis when he falls down in front of me. He had been taking too many chances on the descent, and his legs failed to keep up with his brain. I brake abruptly, look down, and give him my hand.
"Are you all right? Have you hurt yourself?" I ask.
"Shit! I'm fine, I'm fine," replies Tarcis, getting up.
As he does so, I hear those chasing us make a spurt. My first strategy is in tatters. I will have to wait for another opportunity to go on the attack. In the meantime, the four of us run together. I have few options left. We will reach the finish in just over 12 minutes, and though I am a runner who likes to control a race from the front and wait for the right moment to attack, I prefer to do that well before the finish in order to have more than one option if my opponents attack again. Now I will have to lay everything on a single card, and it will have to be the right one.
I feel Robert putting the pressure on behind me. I can feel his desire to overtake me. He has the strength to do so, and I don't have what I need to make a spurt myself. I must wait for the signal, for intuition to tell me now is the time and for my strength to flow back all at once.
Robert accelerates. I can't see or hear him, but I know he is making a move. I grit my teeth to finish a short climb and start downhill. Then I attack, speeding up and clearly stunning the others. As I pass, out of the corner of my eye I see Robert turn to look at those chasing him, and I register a tiny reaction that now becomes crucial: His eyes are no longer full of fire; they are small and have lost their brightness; the finish tape they want to smash through has vanished from their view. That tells me he is defeated, and I accelerate even more.
I never know when to go on the attack. It is in that tenth of a second that the future of the race, victory or failure, will be decided. It is a moment you cannot plan; intuition must drive you to make a decision. An overconscious reaction will never come to good. If you plan it too early, you will certainly pay for the excess effort, and if you leave it too late, you will lose. You have to make good use of the surprise element. Find the key moment. This moment to change pace and go for the tape will always be the moment when the balance between self-confidence, which tells you can do it, and its absence is shattered.
You have to feel the fear that you can't do it in order to overcome it and launch into proving which of the two is right. And you must allow intuition to tell you when that moment has come, allow instinct to compel you forward, to tell you, "It's now or never."
I'm a rational athlete; I enjoy analyzing races, planning them in advance, imagining how they will develop, dreaming them and rehearsing them in training, broadcasting them via imaginary commentators in my head. Sketching the outlines for the screenplay. I think I almost find writing that series of decisions in my head more satisfying than carrying them out for real, given that the screenplay we mark out is never respected, that there are always surprises. That is what makes competing so exciting, what makes it magical and turns it into an art—being able to follow the right impulse, knowing the one powering you into the lead is the right one, and keeping hold of it.
Life outside the race doesn't exist at such moments. The race is life, and it stops when you cross the finish line. An afterward doesn't exist; you can only think about getting there as quickly as possible. You don't think about the consequences the effort you are making might bring, the knocks or injuries awaiting you, because nothing else exists after the watch has stopped. Because the life we have created is at an end and we are left searching for a new one to create.
My legs can't stand the pressure; my breathing stops with each step, tries to minimize each impact. I'm not thinking about anything; my mind is blank. I only follow the sequence of emotions that I want to experience again. And as more come to mind, my legs accelerate and my heart beats faster. Seemingly out of control, they hurtle between rocks and undergrowth, but with each step they know exactly where they must go, where they must direct their strength. There are no feet, legs, or knees in reserve; there is no strength to retain. My body is at peak speed and my mind at the peak of concentration so as not to fall at every step.
I reach the asphalt, 100 yards, a bend to the right, and I look behind me. Nobody is in sight. And I have that feeling again.
But what does it mean to win? What is the real victory? When I cross the finish line, what is it that makes my hair stand on end or makes me feel that my feet are afloat, makes it so that I can't suppress the need to cry, want both to run on and collapse to the ground? What makes me react inside this bubble? The real victory isn't the act of smashing through the tape and crossing the finish line; it's not seeing your name first on the list or standing on the highest step on the podium. None of that can make your legs shake with fear and excitement.

Here's how RW members rated this race (249 votes).
In short: loved every inute of itIn full: for my first half-marathon it was tough. the cold head wind sapped me for the last half. i must thank a fellow female competitor for her vocal encouragement, but i had to take a step back and let her race at her pace. i stopped only once, three quaters on the way up the hill- for that i am extremely proud. as some others have mentioned, wonderfull and sympathetic organisers- one pulled up a chair up for me at the end. loved every minute of it- and the choclate at the end was worth waiting for.Date of review: March 4, 2013
In short: An enjoyable, friendly race, that's improving well each yearIn full: Overall it feels like this event has improved since last year, when I think I described it on here as good, but could do better.That pesky hill between miles 2 and 3 felt a lot longer this year! Such a relief to reach the top and then take a well-earned breather and loosen the legs on the subsequent downhill stretch.There was an irritating headwind back along the sea front which meant it was another relief to enter the marina area which was a bit more sheltered. Thanks to better weather conditions the support was a lot more noticeable this year - always good for a boost if required. Nice to see pacers this year too. The 1:45 pacer chased me all around the course - I just couldn't shake him off ;) Can't fault the organisation at all. Lots of marshals around the course.Date of review: March 4, 2013
In short: Really enjoyed the run (organisation and support was great), but not keen on the courseIn full: Really enjoyed the run (organisation and support was great), but not keen on the course: the hill which starts at around 4.5km is really tough (my Garmin reckons a steady 118m climb over 2.3km); headwind all along the seafront was draining (OK unavoidable); but main gripe is the numerous (5-10) tight, sharp turns (e.g. through the harbour area) where you lose time and more importantly, rhythm. Definitely not a course for a PB, but great fun and a challenging workout!Date of review: March 3, 2013
In short: My first half. Well organised, decent atmosphere and good variety of scenery. The hill is challenging, but comes early which helps! Would recommend.Date of review: March 3, 2013
In short: Excellent race and course, well worth the travel and money, huge recommendationIn full: Everything that could have been controlled was controlled brilliantly. The uncontrollables, dog walkers, weather were the only negatives, but this didn't detract from my opinion of the event.Date of review: March 3, 2013
In short: Good race, lovely marshals and well orgnaised with plenty of entertainmentDate of review: March 3, 2013
In short: Good course, but questionable course length, pricey entry and cheap medal :(In full: Yes, entry-on-the day will always be a little higher, but please .. for £25, the medal is a joke. Granted, we don't run these races just for the medal, but would a bespoke medal really be out of the budget of the organisers? I doubt it. Coupled with the lack of water at the finish, thi year was very disappointing. Date of review: March 14, 2012
In short: One of my favourite courses, but small changes could make it a great race instead of the good race it currently isIn full: Postivies* Support at mile 11, everyone else has mentioned it, but superb effort from the girls once again. * Bagpiper - what a hero standing out in the rain for at least an hour* Toilets - I arrived an hour early and they were deserted. If you need to go 10 minutes before the start, you've timed it wrong. * Parking - overlooked in other reviews, but brilliant. Plenty of space, easy to get in and out for those at the front. * Course - I love the hill at the start, then the winding hill down to the start again. Brilliant test, and brilliant fun. From eight miles onwards gives the impression of 'winding around to make up the distance', which brings me on to my negativesNegatives* 21.3KMs is not a half marathon. It is a half marathon plus 200M. * Muddy field was in my opinion dangerous, it is lucky that noone got hurt slipping into the finish, it was a mudbath when I finished in 1:33, must have been AWFUL for those behind me. My advice for next year to make the distance correct - Move the start/finish 100Ms closer to the exit of the field, eliminating the field as much as possible. Other than that small whine, which should not put anyone off doing this race if you're considering it in future, I love this course, love the atmosphere and will definitely be back for attempt #3 next year. Date of review: March 7, 2012
In short: Would be lovely on a sunny dayIn full: The course itself is good - a challenging climb up towards Beachy Head - but at the beginning of the race so over with before you know it - then flat along the seafront to the harbour and back. It was a shame about the ghastly rain and wind but thanks must be given to those who turned out to cheer us on and especially the marshalls (girls on the bridges telling me I only had a couple of miles to go until a burger at the finish were ace!).I would consider doing this again, especially if the sun was shining. It would be even better if there were more toilets/changing facilities and a goody bag (I've had way better goodies doing 5k races for less than half the price!)Date of review: March 7, 2012
In short: Up and down Beachy Head, long sea front and mazey run around stunning marina. Horrendous wind and rain and gallant, dedicated fabulous marshalsDate of review: March 6, 2012

TAMPA BAY, Fla. The Tampa Bay Lightning, NHL parent club of the Norfolk Admirals, have recalled defenseman Evan Oberg from the Admirals and have reassigned defenseman Charles Landry to the Admirals from the ECHL's Florida Everblades. These announcements were made today by Lightning Vice President and General Manager Steve Yzerman.
Oberg, 6-foot, 191 pounds, is being recalled for the fifth time since being acquired by the Lightning with Mike Kostka from the Florida Panthers on December 2 in exchange for James Wright and Mike Vernace. He has played in seven games with Norfolk this season, recording three assists.
Prior to being traded for, Oberg played in 12 games with the San Antonio Rampage of the American Hockey League this season, notching two assists with 14 penalty minutes. He has played in 132 career AHL games with the Admirals, Rampage, Rochester Americans and Manitoba Moose. Oberg has also skated in five career Calder Cup Playoff games, all with Manitoba during the 2009-10 season.
A native of Forestburg, Alberta, Oberg has played in four career NHL games with the Vancouver Canucks. He was signed as an undrafted free agent by Vancouver on April 10, 2009. Oberg was then acquired by Florida with the Canucks third-round choice in 2013 in exchange for Chris Higgins on February 28, 2011. Before joining the professional ranks he played at the University of Minnesota-Duluth.
Landry, 6-foot-1, 190 pounds, has appeared in 15 games for the Admirals this season, registering five assists, 17 penalty minutes and a plus-2 rating. The pro rookie also appeared in one game for the Admirals during the 2011 Calder Cup Playoffs. He was assigned to the Everblades on December 14 and appeared in five games with Florida, recording three assists and a plus-three rating.
Last season, the 20-year-old native of Napierville, Québec, appeared in 57 games with the Montreal Juniors of the Québec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL), recording career bests with 11 goals and 40 points. He also registered a plus-26 rating. Landry led the team in goals by a defenseman, was third in points by a defenseman and was tied for third overall in plus/minus. He also posted one goal and three points in ten playoff games for the Juniors.
Landry played in 234 career QMJHL games between Montreal and the Drummondville Voltigeurs. He registered 22 goals and 96 points during his career. He also skated in 43 post-season games, amassing six goals and 12 points.
Originally undrafted, Landry was signed to a three-year, entry-level contract by the Lightning on September 15, 2010. He represented the Lightning at the 2010 Traverse City NHL Prospects Tournament as an invitee.
The Admirals and Bridgeport Sound Tigers will face off again tomorrow night at Scope in a rematch of last night's game. The first 2,000 fans through the gate will receive the second set of 2011-12 Admirals trading cards. Game time is 7:30 p.m.
Individual tickets for all regular season games start at just $12. Tickets are available now at the Scope Box Office, all Ticketmaster Outlets, charge-by-phone at 1-800-745-3000 and online at ticketmaster.com.

October 23, 2006 WIC Update
SUBJECT: Microsoft Office 2000 Licenses
- Microsoft Office 2000 Licenses: We are planning to request USDA Operational Adjustment funds to purchase one license of Microsoft Office 2000 (Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Access) for every LWP desktop computer and laptop with a WIC tag that does not already have it installed. Currently the State WIC office provides one license of Microsoft 2000 for every agency. Some agencies may have purchased additional licenses for WIC desktop computers and laptops. In order to know how many licenses to purchase if we are approved to do this, I need to know how many licenses LWPs will need. So, by the end of day Friday, October 27 or as soon as possible thereafter, send me by e-mail your agency's name and the total number of Microsoft Office 2000 licenses your agency would need for every WIC desktop computer and laptop to have this software. If you have questions, contact Mark Davis at email@example.com or 800-392-8209.

The Sanhetang website sez almost $600. Which is cheap compared to peers. For example, on Skip4tea, the Nanyanghao from '07 is $600/250g cake. The Chenshenghaos are all around that price as well. The bok choys are around $800-$1000. There is very little qualitative discrimination in wide ranges of puerh products, even in banzhangs.
As far as super-premium 2011 and 2012 doing as well? Well, I don't know. There wasn't always the best of processing in the early days, and today is much better on a consistent basis. On the other hand, if you didn't get your top Banpo laozhai back mid-decade, you certainly can't get the good stuff today. This seems to be true of many old favorite places like Mahei. On the other hand, places like GFZ, and later on, Wangongzhai have increased in prominence, and there are many newer faves that are getting fully explored by the public, like Xikong. While the good stuff from quiet faves like top grade Youle is pretty rare on the market now. Also back mid-decade, ancient gardens, especially outside of Banna were being explored by the likes of He Shihua, and in the process, new lincangs and lancang county gushu were introduced into the market up to about 2006. However, most of these place, especially in Lancang, remained quite obscure, outside of Bangwei, Jingmai, and Yangta. Wenshan and Kunlushan are still not widely sold despite some promotion. I think this is because most places there had very small ancient plantations, which get bought up quietly.
So as you can see--in puerh, this is about grabbing unique classes of products while they are still available. The expense is kind of a distraction--American customers just had a very warped sense of nonprivilege when it came to puerh. Not very many people were ever offered access to anything like reliable brands better than Dayi--and there was a lack of appreciation of what it was than XZH offered, beyond the label of superpremium tea. We were only competing against mostly Taiwanese customers before the Mainlanders got in the game. That the overall supply of many of these teas were tiny compared to the probable overall demand. This is why, as a puerh customer, one has to break down what it is, precisely, they are paying money for--so they can measure against the retail of other product that offer similar qualities. For example, suppose you see a 2001 Jingmai. One adjusts the perspective on what older JIngmai can be like. They tend to lose qi, complexity/become flat, and huigans as they age. So, if you sip a 2001 Jingmai tea with qi, complexity, and huigans while still tasting aged--then that's worth quite a bit more than you might expect, and a bing that looks expensive at first sight looks cheap on deeper inspection. Buy, Buy, Buy as much as you can afford.
The big problem with thinking about 2011 and 2012 teas are twofold. First, premium tea have largely shifted to less potent areas, use less high quality leaves from top trees. XZH's quality has dropped quite a bit after 2009. That means sampling is ever more necessary for expensive teas, and ever more expensive to do, adequately. You could buy blindly from top brands in 2006 and 2007 and do ok to great! So long as you verify the brand is genuinely top and not because they said so. Nowaday, every brand has more variance in quality, and there are far more brands to choose from, and some, if not most, are fronting. There are higher upfront costs in terms of choosing teas, and mistakes are more common and more costly in the long run.

Wowza, Monday...but it is TEADAY, drink up. So, share with everyone what you are guzzling to get through your Monday. Stop by throughout the day and give us updates if you can. TeaDay is about sharing what is in your cup throughout the entire day. Make sure you check out what everyone else is guzzling today as well.
Yesterday, TeaKnowledge and the Social aspect of TeaChat were the top vote getters. You can still post and vote in yesterday's topic.
Today's TeaPoll and discussion topic is I guess about TeaStructure. Do you inventory your teas...update it whenever you get something new...or use something up? Is that just too crazy for you to consider? Whether you inventory or not, it may be part of your structured personality. In any case, share here how you know what teas you have...in real time!!!
I hope your Monday is filled with copious amounts of TEA!!! I am looking forward to sharing this TeaDay with everyone, seeing what everyone else is drinking today ... bottoms up.

National and Sector Capacity Development Strategies
National and sector development plans and frameworks need to have concomitant capacity development strategies/frameworks to underpin them. Capacity development requires a priori planning and resourcing and should be treated less and less as an afterthought.
Unified capacity development frameworks are cost-effective, reducing the need for ad-hoc actions, aligning priorities and reducing transaction costs. When there is a clear plan and roadmap for how institutions' and organizations' capacities will evolve in response to changing demands and needs, there is greater success in meeting goals. For instance, thematic capacity development plans need to be drawn up where multi-sectoral responses are required.
UNDP supports policy choices and investment options, through establishing the thematic or geographic context, designing and providing technical support for national and sectoral capacity development strategies and offering policy advice on resource coordination for the sectoral approach. Additionally, UNDP facilitates South-South learning exchanges on national and sector capacity development strategies.

Intel Corp., through its standalone business entity Intel Mobile Communications, on Monday announced that it has acquired most of the assets of SySDSoft, a privately held software company based in Cairo and hired approximately 100 of the company's electrical engineers and computer scientists. SySDSoft designs IP solutions in the software stack and physical layer domain, and RF/analog circuits embedded in mobile platforms.
"As we enter an era of multi-communication broadband solutions, Intel's products and technologies will be important to our vision of billions of connected devices," said Dr. Hermann Eul, president of Intel Mobile Communications.
SySDSoft's solutions enhance Intel Mobile Communications' existing multi-communications portfolio, specifically accelerating its 4G LTE efforts with the addition of leading software development and design capabilities. Intel Mobile Communications is an integral part of Intel's strategy to accelerate always-connected computing platforms founded on energy-efficient performance, Internet connectivity and security, and spanning a variety of device and market segments, including laptops, cars, smart phones, tablets and TVs.
"Intel is making the necessary investments to further enhance its existing world-class wireless product portfolio and to offer the most reliable platforms to our customers that will work seamlessly across a range of global networks. The acquisition supports this strategy and we believe that SySDSoft's proven and experienced engineering team, combined with Intel Mobile Communications' existing wireless strength, positions us well for continued growth in LTE," added Mr. Eul.

|Wild salmon yakitori is one of HMF's intensely focused small plates.
Globetrotting gourmets were astonished when The Breakers closed L'Escalier, an award-winning dining destination, and began work on a new concept. The hotel hired famed restaurant designer Adam Tihany to revamp the room that once housed L'Escalier and the Tapestry Bar—a place Tihany called "the historical heart of the hotel."
The result was HMF, which opened in November. Named for Henry Morrison Flagler, the pioneer who built The Breakers and established tourism in South Florida, HMF pays homage to the glamorous, golden era of Palm Beach entertaining, with a mission to restore and refresh the rituals of the cocktail culture.
The space is inviting and welcoming. A combination of comfortable chairs, sofas and loveseats makes for intimate groupings around the large room, setting the stage for socializing, romance, business or whatever your agenda calls for. A stunning glassed-in wine cellar anchors one end, and the space is punctuated by both a cocktail and a sushi bar. HMF is at once traditional and modern, a place where everyone can feel at home.
|Chinese shrimp fried rice.
The menu is composed of nearly five dozen small plates that rotate on a regular basis. The restaurant's culinary wingspan is impressive but more so is the faithful and passionate execution. Under Nibbles and Bites, begin with warm Low Country crab dip ($17), rich and velvety, served with homemade potato chips. A bowl of shrimp fried rice ($17) is pleasantly greasy and dotted with tofu, bean sprouts and fresh peas, far superior to what you would find in the best Chinese restaurants. In the Food Truck section, spiced Greek lamb sliders ($20) are the gyros of your dreams: tender and flavorful, topped with yogurt and sandwiched between rounds of pita bread.
The delights go on and on. Whatever you do, don't miss something from the robata grill, which uses traditional bichotan charcoal to sear the flavors into an assortment of meat, fish, vegetables and pizzas. Wild salmon yakitori ($24) emerges fresh, moist and medium-rare, enhanced with a light brushing of teriyaki—simple yet satisfying. There also is an impressive assortment of sushi, including wahoo tiraditos ($20) and a live sea scallop ($21) with yuzu and smoked salt.
The cocktail selection is evenly split between classics and house creations. Among the HMF Originals, The Redhead (Ketel One Citron, blood orange liqueur, cranberry juice and lime foam, $14) is slightly sweet, a nice change for habitual Cosmo drinkers. Even better is the Railcar #91 ($14), named for Flagler's private car, a blend of Courvoisier VSOP, fresh lemon juice, local honey and orange foam. The Breakers' list of 1,600 wines is at your disposal, spearheaded by an interesting group of wines by the glass.
|The Greek-spiced lamb sliders are a true small plate treat at HMF.
Servers are primarily female, attired in elegant cocktail dresses and looking like they are ready for a night on the town themselves. They are unfailingly polite, friendly and efficient. The dining room is supervised by Michael Ignatowicz, a veteran manager who is constantly circulating, chatting and smiling.
|The vibrant space took its cues from famed restaurant designer Adam Tihany.
HMF is revolutionary in that it places the customer in charge of the experience, whether you stop in for a drink or a quick espresso or whether you stay and indulge for several hours. Like the era it seeks to recreate, it is sleek, perfectly coifed and thrilling.

Unmotivated to Run? Read This. - Page 5
You Used to Listen to Music on Your Runs. Now What?
According to the American Ornithologists' Union, there are 914 species of wild birds in North America. How many of these species can you identify by call? How many can you identify by sight? Ever heard the crickets during a long run on a warm summer's night? How about the creaking sound that birch trees make when a strong wind blows through them—ever heard that? Did you know the stream along your run route makes different noises in the winter and the spring?
Get my point?
Removing those silly earphones opens up the real world around you. There is plenty of natural music out there. And if getting you to commune with nature isn't convincing, how about the safety concerns with music blaring in your ears while out running? In the past, runners have been killed or injured because they didn't hear cars, falling trees, or even trains.
We are so overstimulated these days. We crave things flashing in front of our faces and blasting in our ears constantly. We need music and get bored without it, because we have been conditioned that way.
Silence seems to have lost its virtue.
Think differently.
The next time you run without your music and there are no birds to hear—no stream, no creaking trees—just listen to your feet hitting the ground. That rhythmic pounding should be music to your ears, because it's the sound of progress. It's your source of great strength.

ArtGold wrote:Thanks, I'm trying to come up with guys you may want to research and who aren't generally discussed, but might have impact on the Indians future.Those were all pitchers, position players are a bit tougher after all the promotions.Obviously a lot of focus has gone towards Francisco Lindor, with the hope that he turns into our next major superstar. Also Tony Wolters has gotten some recent attention, having a solid season his first year in the minors.So, how about a couple of guys who seem to be overlooked so far, but play the same position? The Indians signed Dorssys Paulino to a $1 million + contract this past summer, how does he compare to Lindor and Wolters? They must have really seen something there to spend that much money after being repeatedly burned in their Dominican signings. Is he a better bat or fielding prospect?Also, what about Robel Garcia? Here is an infielder who was only 18 years old last season playing at Arizona, and he put up some very good power stats in that league. I know offense is somewhat inflated due to the thin dry air, but looking at his extra base hits, and good walk rate, he seems to be someone at least worth discussing as a potential future Indian. His slugging average was 8th in the league, and this is for an 18 year old infielder who also has a decent batting eye. How does he compare to Lindor, Wolters and Paulino?

ArtGold wrote:OK, in trying to see who may turn out to be really interesting to write about this season, I've come up with Jake Lowery as someone who may also be a surprise prospect.The obvious reasons he could legitimately be ignored is that he was a 4th round pick last season out of college, so he isn't one of our teenagers with higher growth potential. He also had some pretty modest numbers in his half season of work with Mahoning Valley, hitting only .245 with 6 HRs.But, he was the Johnny Bench award winner this past season at James Madison, and led all of college baseball in runs scored, RBI's and total bases last season, and finished second in slugging average. In winning the Bench award, the story I had read mentioned that he threw out over 40% of the runners trying to steal bases.In following him at Mahoning Valley, though his HR total and BA were pretty modest he did have some secondary numbers that caught my attention. For example, he had 23 doubles in only 69 games played (less than half a season equivalent), and had 54 walks with only 253 at bats. Normally, I'd expect this to mean he strikes out a lot, leading to the low batting average, but that really wasn't true. He actually had an excellent BB/K ratio of 54/56.Add in that he threw out 35% of the runners trying to steal, and it seems like his arm may be major league quality too.So, he may be someone else you may want to take a closer look at this coming season.

Secretary Clinton recently provided remarks during the release of the 2009 International Religious Freedom Report. She stated, "The right to profess, practice, and promote one's religious beliefs is a founding principle of our nation. In fact, many of our earliest settlers came because they wanted the freedom to practice their own religion without a state interfering or oppressing that practice. It is the first liberty mentioned in our Bill of Rights, and it is a freedom guaranteed to all people in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
I want to underscore that, because this is not just an American value. This was agreed to be a universal value. Religious freedom provides a cornerstone for every healthy society. It empowers faith-based service. It fosters tolerance and respect among different communities. And it allows nations that uphold it to become more stable, secure and prosperous. As President Obama said in Cairo, freedom of religion is central to the ability of peoples to live together. These facts underlie our commitment to the cause of religious freedom. That's why we make the issue of religious freedom a priority in our diplomacy, and this annual report is the centerpiece of our efforts."Full Text | Video
Nahuel in Minnesota writes:
It feels incredibly good that the department of state takes this point seriously. As an atheist I feel grateful. And it's maybe one of the keys. We all know most of western religions should and do promote peace. But its response to the practice from other religions is one of the major causes of war right now, isn't it?
This should not be forgotten when it comes to take it to the world. The one that's outside the United States. Thanks a lot to the secretary of state for this speech.
Nancy in California writes:
I am glad about this. But I have a question - what happens when a person's rights are violated based on religion? For example, a woman is stoned in a square in and Islamic country because she was raped. In the name of "religion" (Islam) one would argue that it is allowed since that is the "official" interpretation of Islam in that particular country. Yet, clearly, a woman's right has been violated and violence, in the name of religion has been committed against her? Which is it?
Donald in Virginia writes:
@ Nancy in California -- I agree with you Nancy because in the Arab world women's rights are ignored and by law over ruled by the nature of it's own religion. Hence the reason why women must be covered, I have seen just "eyes" appearing though the garments they wear, what a shocking revelation that women must be covered completely from head to toe, just so men cannot look at their bodies. What a shameful practise and what women must carry a burdon knowing she does not have a say, whether it's being stoned to death, or getting lashes, just her speaking out can land trouble on herself. On the surface President Barack Obama's speech is wonderful but it does not change anything for womens rights living in Arabia. Do all women have a vote? Can women drive vehicles legally? Can they purchase alcohol? When it's the Saudi Royal family in congress of Arabia, all the royal princes have the same powers as our United States Senators which means they dictate the laws and put in effect whats good for them not neccessary what is good for the women. How many women in Saudi Arabia get to put into law any changes, NONE
Let's step back from this, can the Saudi Royal Family drive vehicles? Yes
Can the Royal Saudi Family purchase alcohol? YES
Does the Royal Saudi Family get a vote when it comes to making laws in the Kingdom? YES
Women do not have the same powers as men. There is no equality of women vs men in Arabia. This is because the Men of Arabia will always dictate with laws and use Islam as the escape goat when they want to punish women for doing something they might not agree with and today those laws are still valid. When I heard about the story of a girl who was raped in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, by a saudi citizen the government was going to punish the girl because it was her fault. Our laws here in the United States are very clear, if anyone gets raped the person doing the rape is charged and will serve a sentence in jail or prison. In Arabia for whatever reasons they will make it look like it was the girls fault for being a woman, instead of gathering the facts and making the case against the Saudi man or the attackers and put them in jail.
I was told they even have to be covered completely in the homes, just in case a brother shows up and tries to see her body. Magazines, books that are sold to Saudi Arabia are completely blacked out on pictures of women showing any kind of skin. They actually have people that mark through magazines, the time and money spent on this practise is probably in the millions. How backwards this all works, instead of going to the publishers of the Magazines and explaining the situation to have the images removed, in customs they have people who just confiscate and mark though pictures. All those western magazines we see at grocery stores and think nothing of it, they in turn mark though it before it's sold to the public in Arabia.
We all know or have a good idea about the British Royal Family because they are in the news or spotlight at times. The one thing will never know is about the Royal Saudi Family, the queen of Arabia does not show her face or skin to the public. Meaning, it's probably the best kept secret in the Middle East for the Arabian Royality. Who is the queen of Arabia? Good question let me know what you find out?
When you talk about slavery, let us also focus on one part how it was only 35 years back when the Saudis abolished it in its country. We abolished slavery back in 1865, just to think only 35 years ago in Arabia a man could have up to 25 slaves with four legal brides. Whats different today, they can still have up to four legal brides.
Speeches are wonderful but when it comes to practise and laws women are still the minority in Arabia. The laws should be fair and balanced for both males and females in Arabia. The only way you would have an equal vote is when women are in political roles of Government and start creating statues allowing those freedoms to happen. Otherwise it will be a Royal Family decison based on what happens in the end.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (194 votes).
In short: Worth driving 40 miles forIn full: Lovely day for it, great marshalls, impatient drivers, hills not too bad; shame about the lack of water at the finish for us back markers, and running out of med/small T-shirts. The good lady wife managed a PB, she likes these mildly undulating road routes. I think I quite enjoyed it too!Date of review: November 16, 2008
In short: The hills don't get any easier!In full: Well organised and well run event - unlikely to produce a PB unless its your only 10K (expect a couple of minutes slower than flatter routes). Countryside is Barnsley's best with most of it in the countryside.One point - toilets could do with being better organised. There were several but they are scattered about.Date of review: November 16, 2008
In short: good value, with a challenging hill.In full: An enjoyable race (once you get past the coking plant)the rest of the race is quite scenic. The admin is fairly straight forward the chip is explained to you in quite enough detail with a handy trainer to show you as an example when you are handed your chip.There are plenty of places to park.If you're a runner that needs crowd support then this is the only thing that is lacking in my opinion. The marshalls try their best to keep up morale.All in all a good race and a better course layout this year. Alison. Kingstone Runners.Date of review: November 16, 2008
In short: Great weather enjoyable run. In full: I enjoyed this event I was a bit apprehensive as previous runners had mentioned the hills. I found I ran this course faster than previous 10k's as plenty of people around me. I am optimistic of a good official time. Shame it wasn't traffic free. Date of review: November 16, 2008
In short: Amatuer organisation and administration, route OK, runners and marshalls OK, directions by car to venue were very poor. Chip timer not adequately explained, finish poorly laid out. Not enjoyable. In full: Directions poor, Jnc 38 of M1 DOES NOT SIGNPOST Haigh, I saw Barnsley exit which is wrong, should be Wolley, got lost, late, infuriating!!!!!! That is shockingly bad htey don't know or test their own directions by car. What changing facility - shool gym changing rooms locked so good job I'd put my shorts on at home. Marshalls good to be fair. Atmosphere OK, chip thing MUST be on ankle rather than should be, I didn't know, wore on my wrist then hey presto not logged and I don't appear on results!! Angry or what. Then their website is awful, no easy or abvious way to e-mail complaints or feedback, Thanks vey miuch Runners World for having this facility. Get my say. Cost inconsistent on your website, says £4 for affliated, I paid them £6.50 direct, shouldn't it be the other way round? The finish was very poorly laid out, big school playing field and they position everything together, sensible person would allow long queue space to collect drinks then T-shirts rather than the amatuer organisation they had. Laughable.Date of review: November 21, 2007
In short: Good race that's always worth coming back to do. In full: I have done this race for 4yrs now. Organisation and marshalls were plenty. Toilet provision has improved by having access to the hall. Disapointed by the chip timing. It was not really accurate as no mat to run over and start was not apparent. Those of us near the back did not know it had actually started. It was good to get an instant result! The hill at start and end were ok but forgot about the sneaky one in the middle. Get chip timing sorted and it will remain a good race. Thank you. Date of review: November 21, 2007
In short: Don't you just love that hill at the start!In full: Once the first mile is out of the way and you are past the coking plant the scenery improves considerably. This also gives you worst hill of the race.My 15 year old son did this race as his first ever 10K and, despite the poor weather, seemed to enjoy it. Pleasant enough at the back of the field and a lot of supportive marshalls.Date of review: November 20, 2007
In short: PB potential if you don't mind hills!In full: One of my favourite races of the year; people dont like the uphill finish but theyre forgetting the two mile downhill section that precedes it! Fast, challenging course with excellent marshals who cheer you on (one even shouted out positions to the runners near the front). Didnt have any problems with the start but I was near the front and so heard the marshal shout 'go', maybe the runners further back couldn't hear? If so that needs to be addressed. Yes there was a tight corner at the finish but I was moving a fair bit and it didnt cause me too many problems. All in all a great race, thanks to Barnsley AC & all concerned, maybe use a gun / loudspeaker next year?Date of review: November 19, 2007
In short: Yorkshire runners walk on water - we had to!!In full: No sunstroke for any of the hundreds that braved this excellent race. Agree with others, I wasn't sure we'd started either, so my own timing was to pot, but hey, who's perfect. Course was "tasty",inclines just when you didn't need them. Bravo to the marshalls, all wrapped up, braving the elements to give directions and (much needed) support. T-shirt good value. If I can escape S.Wales again,I will be back next year .Date of review: November 19, 2007
In short: Good, well-organised and friendly race - shame it was so cold...Date of review: November 19, 2007

USA Softball remains perfect
Columbus, GA---The USA Softball Women's National Team completed competition at the NFCA Classic with a 6-0 win over No. 6 Georgia to improve its record to 10-0 on the 'Aiming for Athens' tour. Georgia becomes only the second team so far on the tour to play the Olympic Team a full seven inning game, while eight of the 10 have been mercy rule decisions.
It didn't take long for Crystl Bustos (Canyon Country, CA) to extend her RBI streak on the 'Aiming for Athens' tour scoring Leah O'Brien-Amico (Chino Hills, CA) on a double to center field in the top of the first inning.
With a 1-0 lead, Jessica Mendoza (Camarillo, CA) reached after being hit-by-a-pitch to lead off the top of the second inning. An infield single by Kelly Kretschman (Indian Harbour Beach, FL) followed by a wild pitch put both runners in scoring position. Laura Berg (Santa Fe Springs, CA) grounded out to first base to plate her ninth RBI of the tour. The final two runs of the inning game when Natasha Watley (Irvine, CA), known more for her short game and speed, sent a first pitch offering from Georgia's Michelle Green over the right field fence for her first round-tripper of the tour.
After a scoreless third inning the U.S. offense was at it again in the third. A one out rally began when Kretschman reached on a walk and Berg used her short game to cause havoc within the Georgia defense. A perfectly laid bunt by Berg was fielded by Georgia third baseman Shannon McKeon but no one covered first and her throw went into right field allowing each runner to advance 60 feet.
O'Brien made the Bulldogs pay for the error scoring both Kretschman and Berg with a double to left center to give the U.S. a 6-0 lead.
Georgia's Ashley Godfrey of Columbus, GA got one of the loudest ovations of the evening from the hometown crowd when she broke up the perfect game in the bottom of the sixth inning with a single to left center. Despite allowing a walk to put runners at first and second, Finch struckout the next batter and Mims Flowers made a great play on a bunt to end the inning.
During the NFCA Classic the U.S. offense was unstoppable outscoring its opponents 64-1 and smashed 19 home runs in just five games.
With the win the U.S. extends its pre-Olympic tour win streak to 125 games and has now outscored its pre-Olympic tour opponents 931-12. On the 2004 'Aiming for Athens' tour the USA has outscored opponents 106-6 and is averaging nearly three home runs per game.
The National Team now travels to Altamonte Springs, FL where it will train, March 1-3, before heading to Tampa for the Speedline Invitational March 4-6. While in Tampa the U.S. will face Illinois, UNLV, Iowa, Baylor, South Florida and Oregon.
