In any sport, injuries are a fact of life. Their causes are many and not always associated with stand-alone training or participation within your particular event. In 2005, elite runner Deena Kastor stepped on a large pinecone and rolled her ankle. For anyone who's ever done this, I don't need to tell you how painful it is, and how tentative you become as a result of it. Through the recovery process, you're reminded of this fact with nearly every step you take toward getting better and fully healed.
I recall our daughter's cross-country coach reading her the riot act for training for a marathon, in her last year of high school. It was a goal she had set to complete before graduation. Training started near the end of the spring track season, into summer, and the race took place halfway through the following fall cross-country season. I was her marathon coach, and no, her high school coach knew nothing of the training…until she crossed the finish line and word started to spread amongst her friends, who hadn't known either. To make a long story short, the words that reverberated the most came from her coach, to the effect that she could've injured herself. I told our daughter, "That's true. And you could've injured yourself stepping off a curb too." The point is, injuries will come from anywhere, are unplanned and can happen at some of the most inopportune moments. What's the alternative? Stay inside and injur your thumb on the remote control button, and trip over the cat when you go to get some ice? For some, maybe?
Dealing with injuries has a profound effect on an athlete's mental state, sometimes more so than the physical pain from the injury itself. They don't want to sacrifice any of their fitness level, lest they suffer detraining. However – and here's the double edge sword – some injuries are a direct result of overtraining, caused when secondary and tertiary muscles are recruited as crutches, for primary muscles that have not fully recovered. You might consider this a "senseless" injury, because it's so easily prevented through adequate rest and recovery. The athlete might then feel foolish, and at the same time is already dealing with the mental anguish of not being able to train at 100%.
So what do we do when we get injured? First and foremost we determine how serious the injury is. Is it something that requires attention from a medical professional? Maybe an opinion is needed from a professional to determine if the injury really is what we think it is, and not something associated with another condition or the improper use of a piece of gear. Does your foot hurt because you pulled something, or is it just the wrong shoe for you? Pain is the body's best indicator that something just isn't right. Our immediate task is to find out what's wrong, and begin to correct the problem before causing further damage.
Second, what is the typical course of action for your particular injury? Does the diagnosis require R.I.C.E (Rest Ice Compression Elevation), stretching, alignment (chiropractic, physical therapy, etc.), heat/cold treatments? How long can you expect to be out of commission?
Third, what types of alternate training would you be allowed to do? With a lower body injury, can you swim to maintain aerobic fitness? How about riding the trainer to deal with upper body injuries? It may feel like it, but it doesn't have to be the end of the world. Ultimately, you'll have to question whether continued training is helpful (even if only mentally) or harmful.
A pulled hamstring injury severely shortened my 2006 race season, when I couldn't complete a run without pain. I thought I was doing myself a favor by only riding the bike, and completely staying out of the running shoes. Fact is, I wasn't allowing it to heal at all. It wasn't until I had an assessment done that I learned something in my back was tweaked just enough to affect that area.
We will all, at one point or another, experience injuries, obstacles and setbacks. It's the price we pay for what we do out there. How we handle the recovery and healing process is up to us. We can prolong the agony and anguish by continuing to push too hard, or we can take a step back and look at the big picture, then figure out a way to come out stronger physically and mentally.
By the way, our daughter proudly wore her finisher's medal attached to her Honors Graduate medal at her graduation. You think I was proud to see that? Just a little!!

Intermittent catheterization programs (ICPs) are often used
when you have the ability to use a
catheter yourself or someone can do it for you. You
insert the catheter—a thin, flexible, hollow tube—through the
urethra into the
bladder and allow the urine to drain out. It is done
at scheduled times, and the catheter is not permanent.
general, an ICP requires that you limit your fluids. You and your doctor will
figure out how much fluid you can consume each day and what times are best to
use the catheter.
Following is a general
outline of the procedure. Your rehabilitation (rehab) team or doctor will show you and/or a
loved one how to perform a catheterization.

Hamilton not worried about cold bat post-break
MILWAUKEE -- Members of the Reds have often told rookie leadoff hitter Billy Hamilton that they go as he goes. But in the three games vs. the Yankees, and for the first time in a long while, Hamilton didn't go too well.
In those three games, the first coming out of the All-Star break, Hamilton went 1-for-12 with a double, one steal, no walks and no runs scored. Cincinnati scored only six runs in the three straight losses.
"I still feel comfortable right now, and it's all good. I had a bad series," Hamilton said on Monday before the Reds opened a series vs. the Brewers. "Everybody is going to have a bad series. You're not going to be good every series. Stuff happens."
Hamilton, who batted .341 with a .373 on-base percentage from June 10 to July 13 before the four-day All-Star break, popped up several balls vs. New York.
Manager Bryan Price would like to see him hit the ball more on the ground and use his speed.
"He's like everybody else. He's going to run that tide of hot and cold and in between over the course of the season," Price said. "When he gets on base, he wreaks havoc and gets our guys better pitches to hit. He can confound a defense, but we can't put all the onus on him to be the reason that we're successful offensively. We have to put more balls in play, and have more productive at-bats."
Hamilton certainly wasn't the only hitter who struggled vs. the Yankees.
"After the All-Star break, being off for four days, there are not many hitters that can just come back and be hot right away," Hamilton said. "It's just timing, that's all it is."
Hamilton led off the sixth inning of the Reds' 5-2 loss to the Brewers by sending a 95-mph first-pitch fastball from Wily Peralta over the right-field wall for his sixth home run of the season. His last four long balls have all come vs. the Brewers.

CASTLE ROCK — Raymond Davis, the former CIA contractor accused of beating a man during a disagreement over a parking spot outside a bagel store, will try again March 1 to enter a plea to misdemeanor assault charges.
Noting that a start date for a trial in the case had been set for Tuesday, lawyers for the defense and the prosecution asked for a continuance.
"I didn't want to reset the trial, because I was sure a resolution would be reached, and I still feel that way," Davis' lawyer William Frankfurt said. Frankfurt said at 4:30 p.m. Friday, "New demands were made."
Davis was expected to plead no-contest to the charges Monday. He was arrested in October 2011 and charged with disorderly conduct and second-degree assault for the beating of Jeffrey Maes, 50, outside an Einstein Bros. Bagels store in Highlands Ranch.
That charge carries a maximum of 16 years in prison.

When you take the time to pump precious breast milk, you don't want to lose it to leaks or spills. That's why we like these milk storage bags, which guard against leaks and are easy to work with. The bags are thick and substantial (they're double layered), and when it comes to strength, it's tough to beat that Ziploc ™ seal. Plus, they cut down on work time—a must for busy, nursing moms—because they're self-standing, easy to label, and have a handle and spout for spill-free pouring. Good value, too!

Lucky 7: Man with a PanSeptember 19, 2012 • 1 Comment • category: Algonquin Books Blog, Lucky Stars
Beloved chef Julia Child once said, "The only real stumbling block is fear of failure. In cooking you've got to have a what-the-heck attitude." This month's Lucky 7 allows you to explore fearlessly your inner foodie by offering these e-books at an unintimidating $1.99 through September 30th. Today's e-book, Man with a Pan, edited by John Donohue, proves that anyone can cook if he puts his mind to it.
To keep you cooking all year round, check out Workman's Blue Plate Special, a monthly eCookbook Club delivering you mouthwatering titles for $3.99 or less (even some for free!) across all eReader platforms.
You can buy Man with a Pan as an e-book at AMAZON, BARNES & NOBLE, INDIEBOUND, KOBO, GOOGLE, APPLE,and POWELL'S.
Look who's making dinner! Twenty-one of our favorite writers and chefs expound upon the joys—and perils—of feeding their families.
Mario Batali's kids gobble up monkfish liver and foie gras. Peter Kaminsky's youngest daughter won't eat anything at all. Mark Bittman reveals the four stages of learning to cook. Stephen King offers tips about what to cook when you don't feel like cooking. And Jim Harrison shows how good food and wine trump expensive cars and houses.
This book celebrates those who toil behind the stove, trying to nourish and please. Their tales are accompanied by more than sixty family-tested recipes, time-saving tips, and cookbook recommendations, as well as New Yorker cartoons. Plus there are interviews with homestyle heroes from all across America—a fireman in Brooklyn, a football coach in Atlanta, and a bond trader in Los Angeles, among others.
What emerges is a book not just about food but about our changing families. It offers a newfound community for any man who proudly dons an apron and inspiration for those who have yet to pick up the spatula.
"Donohue cleverly peppers the text with funny, sophisticated cartoons, making Man with a Pan uniquely smart and also very useful. A must-have for kitchen-friendly dads, this volume should reap rewards down the road for family appetites everywhere."— BookPage

A 38-YEAR-OLD man who got lost driving from Accrington to the Midlands was eventually stopped driving the wrong way along the hard shoulder of the M6 Toll road.
Blackburn magistrates heard Hungarian Ulrik Posta said he had missed his sign because of lorries on the road in the early hours of the morning.
He ended up travelling north on the south-bound carriageway and told police he was travelling slowly on the hard shoulder with his hazard lights on so other vehicles could see him.
Posta, of Elder Court, Woodside Road, Huncoat, pleaded guilty to dangerous driving and driving without insurance. He was made subject to community supervision for 12 months, ordered to do 200 hours unpaid work, fined £250 with £85 costs and banned from driving for 20 months.
Catherine Allan, prosecuting, said police were called to the Toll Road at 4am after reports of a vehicle travelling in the wrong direction. When he was interviewed Posta said he had been travelling from Huncoat to Redhill when he got lost. When the police stopped him he said he was going "very slowly".
"This would appear to be a deliberate disregard for the safety of others," said Miss Allan. "There was extensive risk given the speed of motorway traffic."
Gareth Price, defending, said Posta had got lost as he drove to Redhill. He found himself on a roundabout anticipating he was going on to the motorway travelling in the correct direction.
"Unfortunately it was the exit slip road as he quickly realised," said Mr Price. "He drove on the hard shoulder at a very slow speed with all his hazard lights showing looking for a way off.
"He now realises he should have stopped and called for assistance."

This is a research and placed on various forums on the Internet. The purpose is to gather information to improve N.nu.
I begin with what I already have found:
What else is there?
Add: Careful attention is paid to accessibility, including the use of ems rather than pixel based font sizes and use of HTML elements as they are intended, such as headers.
Yes, accessibility and usability is important.
But a question. Isn't it really old browsers that can't handle resize of text in px? I thought there was no problem with that anymore.
There is a discussion here that you might find interesting about that: http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?775925-Jonathan-Snook-pixel-based-layouts
A modern web site would use HTML 4 strict. HTML 5 is still in draft and therefore only really available for testing as everything in it could be completely different tomorrow. Also with XHTML there are still to many people using IE8 and earlier which don't support XHTML to be able to use that yet - although it should be usable long before HTML 5 becomes a standard.
A bloated library for those who are trying to take the easy way out by not learning enough JavaScript to do it properly for themselves. Therefore not necessarily an indicator of a modern site since if someone associated with the site does have a moderate knowledge of JavaScript they would be able to use JavaScript that is just as modern as that in JQuery but with about 40k less code.
If we want to characterize the modern web it can be classified in following areas -It should be unbiased, i.e it is operable to all of platforms. (One web for all)FlexibilitySimplicity and intuitivePerceptibleBe preventativeTolerableEffortlessAccommodatingConsistentAbility to Handle real world challenge
That's right. It's only ie6 that struggles to resize px fonts. There's nothing wrong with using pixels for font-size these days.
You're list isn't too bad, I would put these at the top of the list as the most obvious ways to tell a modern site.
The site is built in a way so that it loads quickly, lean HTML, Minified & compressed assets.The site works well with mobile devices (responsive CSS)CSS3 is used in preference to imagesclean URLsUse of appropriate libraries to simplify the code.
I'm not sure there's much point in reviving this thread after ten months.

The Lady Flames (13-5-1, 8-2-1 Big South) enter the contest with an overall home record of 7-1 and a perfect 5-0 mark at Osborne Stadium against conference opponents.
Liberty defeated the Blue Hose, 2-1, during the regular season in Clinton, S.C. on Oct. 5. Leading scorer Brittany Aanderud recorded both goals for the Lady Flames. Liberty leads the all-time series against PC, 6-0-1.
The winner of Sunday's matchup will head to Conway, S.C., next Friday for a 7 p.m. tilt against the victor of a quarterfinals contest between No. 3 Longwood and No. 6 High Point.

A Look at Liberty
The Liberty women's soccer team clinched the No. 2 seed in the 2013 Big South Championship, executing another clutch performance to defeat Longwood, 1-0, at the Longwood Athletics Complex. For the second straight match, Rebecca Smith connected on the game-winning goal off an assist from Brittany Aanderud.
Much like last Saturday's matchup versus Coastal Carolina, the duo collaborated with less than 10 minutes left in regulation to score the game-winner. During the 82nd minute, Aanderud fired a shot from 25-yards out that ricocheted off the crossbar. Smith collected the ball off the rebound and sent it into the back of the net from short range, propelling the Lady Flames to victory.
Smith's goal was her third straight in as many games and fourth this year. Aanderud's helper now gives her the team lead with five assists.
With the win, Liberty (13-5-1, 8-2-1 Big South) leapfrogged the Lancers (9-8-2, 8-3 Big South) into second place in the league standings. The Lady Flames' 13 regular-season wins and eight conference victories are the most in program history. Liberty now leads the all-time series versus the Lancers, 7-4-3.
Holly Van Noord added another shutout to her mantle, extending her single-season record to 12 games. The netminder leads the league in shutouts and goals-against average (0.61) and is third in the Big South with a save percentage of .855.
Aanderud paces the Lady Flames with 15 points on five goals and five assists, while Crystal Elmers trails the fellow sophomore with 12 points on five goals and two assists. Alanna Dunkle and Smith have four goals in 2013, followed by Megan Warner and Jaime Bouffard, who each have three markers.
Defender Casey Norris has cemented her place in the Liberty record books, this season, appearing in more contests (80) throughout her collegiate career than any other Lady Flame in program history. Norris recently surpassed Liberty Athletics Hall of Famer Nancy Davis, who held the previous record with 78 total games.
Presbyterian at a Glance
The No. 7 seed Blue Hose (9-8, 6-5 Big South) enter Sunday's contest off a 1-0 win at No. 4 seed Winthrop, Tuesday. Alison Sterling picked up her first career-goal, scoring the game-winner in the opening 10 minutes of the second half.
Tori Lopez is third in the conference with eight goals on the year, followed by Sara Simpson, who has four markers. Simpson and Stephanie Allen are tied for the team lead in assists with four.
Defensively, Jordan Broadway and Sydney Fontenot have split time in between the posts for PC. Broadway has appeared in 15 games, sporting a 1.08 goals-against average, a save percentage of .803 (49 saves) and two shutouts. Meanwhile, Fontenot has made 11 appearances and owns a 1.23 gaa, .840 save percentage (42 saves) and one shutout.

Restaurants, museums and shops are within walking distance. Fine apartment with two bathrooms. Beds need renewal.
Restauranter, museer og butikker ligger i gåafstand. Fin lejlighed med to badeværelser. Sengene trænger til fornyelse.
the apartment where we were greeted was consistent with the description. comfortable and close to all amenities. great experience. A repeat without a doubt!
l'appartement dans lequel nous avons été accueilli était conforme à la description. confortable et proche de toutes commodités. super expérience. A réitérer sans aucun doute!
My wife, our young daughter (17) and I stayed at Alejandro's place in the heart of Madrid for five days at the end of June. As Alejandro had to do business far from Madrid when we arrived, a friend of him was present, who introduced us to the place and all its functions perfectly. A particularly recommendable feature of Alejandro's flat is it is in walking distance to the very famous sites in Madrid, such as the Prado Museum, the Retiro Park, the Plaza Mayor, Puerta del Sol and many more. Madrid's beautiful nightlife starts just in front of the door. Second, Alejandro is very supportive in finding things in Madrid. When I had a problem with one of my teeth, for example, he helped me check for a dentist and even accompanied us in order to help with all the procedures in the clinic. He also recommended sites to us gave us useful advice in finding them. The flat itself is large with two bathrooms we were allowed to use both, and a large and well equipped kitchen. Our daughter slept in a bedroom with a comfortable double bed, my wife an me in the living room, where a double and a single couch were prepared for us. The double couch was not for sensible spines, so I chose the single one. This way we all slept perfectly well. In the living room we could hear bit of the sparkling nightlife on Calle Fuencarral, where cars are not allowed to drive, though. The bedroom had its window out to the backyard and was very quiet, as is the kitchen. We enjoyed our stay very much and could well have stayed longer had we had planned for more time in Madrid. Very good accomodation at a very good price. Muchas gracias, Alejandro!
The apartment is very nice and big, perfect for 5 persons. You will live in the center of madrid and you need not more than 10min by walk to the most famous places of Madrid! The house is on the shopping street of Madrid, so you have a lot of supermarkets, bars and clubs near to it. The apartment includes all stuff which you need for nice trip, everything was clean and tidy. If you have any questions the host is very friendly and he also helps you if you have any questions about the city! All in all the cost-effectiveness was perfect!!!
10 stay! Near perfect and happy in every way back prnto advisable.

"Game changer" is a term you hear often when people talk about how technology has changed their industry.
The National Business Travel Association and the U.S. Travel Association recently released studies that measure the return on investment of business travel and indicate how business travel spending can impact revenue generation.

 The studies purport to assess business travel's economic impact in dollar terms, but some travel management consultants and buyers see quantifying the value of trips as not yet attainable, citing difficulties in determining the value of non-revenue-generating travel for product development, training or employee development purposes.

 While trying to quantify the return on business travel is not new, the soured economy has corporations searching under every rock for savings and demanding justification for every expense, prodding some travel buyers and suppliers to explore the ROI concept and come up with new tools for the purpose.

 "In this economy especially, business spending has come under greater scrutiny than ever before," according to U.S. Travel Association president and CEO Roger Dow. "Budgets need to be justified based on the return of revenue growth and the bottom-line profits that they produce. Everyone is looking under the microscope at every business expense. Every business leader wants to know what can we cut today and what can we cut that is not going to hurt our business today and not sacrifice our growth tomorrow."

 The development of return on investment methodology also has suppliers starting to figure out ways to deliver measurement tools.

 GetThere is developing an online ROI calculator that will use a series of trip reason codes, algorithms and client-specific variables to assign the trip an ROI score, giving corporations an added piece in the pre-trip approval process. The company plans to release the tool in the second half of 2010, according to GetThere vice president of corporate segment, strategy and solutions Suzanne Neufang.

 Last month, the National Business Travel Association, with research conducted by American Express Business Travel and IHS Global Insight, completed a study of how U.S. business travel spending contributes to corporate revenues and profits across 15 industry sectors and the total U.S. corporate economy from 1998 through 2008.

 The report found business travel as a percentage of U.S. sales steadily decreased from 1.47 percent in 1998 to 1.09 percent in 2008. Likewise, business travel as a percentage of profits decreased from 7.14 percent to 5.18 percent.

 NBTA research consultant and former IHS Global Insight researcher Kenneth McGill broke down those results across industry sectors to try to determine the point business travel spending maximizes profits—in essence, the ROI of business travel—and at what point that correlation is optimized.

 "The research is not meant to be a prescription or a management consulting recommendation," according to McGill. "What we are trying to show is that statistically we found a fairly consistent and relatively strong relationship between business travel spending and increased sales and profit."

 For most industries, McGill's research found corporations have cut travel spending too far and it has negatively impacted sales. For example, if the retail and wholesale sector raised travel spending by 3 percent, it could yield sales growth of 4.5 percent. Manufacturing sector travel growth of 2.3 percent would increase sales by 1.5 percent.

 The business services and consulting industries have reached that maximization point and actually could reduce their spending by about 0.9 percent, based on 2008 numbers.

 McGill also found that increasing business travel spending does not pay off indefinitely. If it surpasses that optimization point, sales will continue to increase, but at a slower rate. Business travel would become a larger portion of the costs, which would have a downward impact on profits.

 While travel expenditure isn't the only factor in sales growth, McGill said that excluding all other business growth tools, "we can see that increasing business travel, particularly if the industry is in a non-optimal situation, you'll actually add more sales than costs with respect to business travel."

 The U.S Travel Association's study, conducted by Oxford Economics USA, took a more subjective look at the ROI of business travel. The study, based on past studies and a May survey of 500 business travelers and 300 corporate executives randomly selected from online professional social networking site LinkedIn, claims every dollar spent on business travel yields $12.50 in incremental revenue.

 The report also said that if a company were to eliminate its business travel, it would lose 17 percent of its profits in the first year. Of the 300 corporate executive respondents, an average of 28 percent of their business would be lost without in-person meetings.

 Respondents reported that on average, customer meetings had the greatest ROI with $15 to $19.99 earned per dollar invested. Conferences and trade shows yielded $4 to $5.99 in earning per dollar.

 Although some industry associations and suppliers have hopped on the ROI bandwagon, others see the reports as biased research that discount many other factors that go into increasing revenues and profits, such as research and development, advertising, innovation and marketing.

 "There has been a lot of effort put out for people to say that if you just travel more on business, there definitely is ROI there, and it's an investment you should make," said Nokia global sourcing director for travel Paul Perry. "There clearly is industry bias there. It's people in the travel business trying to convince companies that you can make money by traveling more.

 "Personally, I feel that is irresponsible. What we believe at Nokia is that business travel is a tool that has a use and like any other tool it should be used for that job. Customer-facing travel, strategic travel and some internal travel is necessary to achieve your business objectives, and if business travel is the best tool to use, then you should use it. However, there are a lot of other ways that you can have your work product and ideas travel to another place without getting on an airplane."

 Eastman Kodak manager of global travel and fleet Bill Lasky said that business travel ROI cannot be determined on an aggregate basis within a company but it should be considered before getting on an airplane.

 "On an individual trip-by-trip basis, there is no fancy tool you use but there definitely is an expectation that the individual requesting the trip demonstrates what's in it for the company," said Lasky.

 While the verdict is still out on the validity of connecting business travel return on investment measurements to corporate profits, there are certain aspects that can currently be applied.

 "The return on investment of business travel theoretically is feasible," according to Advito vice president of business development Bob Brindley. "You should be able to take a look at what's driving the need for travel and what kind of return is associated with that. Some of that is going to be overhead-driven, but that doesn't mean that it's not required to support the organization. It's always harder to put an ROI on that type of spend, but clearly if things are related to sales or directly related to customer or project work, it's much easier to tie ROI to it."

W Barcelona Hotel
Ricardo Bofill
Barcelona, Spain
The building, known as "The Sail" appears as a modern icon rising above the Mediterranean sea.
Located on the Nova Bocana (the "new entrance") of the Port of Barcelona, which "opens" the city's historic centre to the Mediterranean, W Barcelona is near the world famous boardwalk La Barceloneta and Barcelona's Old Town and Las Ramblas.
The slender 26-story hotel sits perpendicular to the dock to allow for unprecedented sea and city views from virtually every guest room. This volume is inserted in the low atrium building, the lobby of which reveals views of the sea and enjoys zenith natural light.
The reflecting facade of silvered glass blends harmoniously with the colors of the Catalonian sky and the sun drenched sparkles of the Mediterranean.
Public functions are accommodated under a platform conceived as two huge terraces. A big congress room with a large window over the sea breaks with its volume the horizontal lines of the base of the building.
The hotel W Barcelona is a five star-hotel with 473 rooms, 67 suites, a roof top bar, large spa, large scale outside terraces, including a pool area, and other spectacular public spaces. The infinity edged pool is surrounded by sun terraces and fully equipped cabanas.
Barcelona is the mixture of all architectures. We have everything. The most excellent urbanism and the most incredible variation of architecture pieces you can find, from the Roman Walls to the latest modernist icons. The result of thousands of architects working together for two thousand years. We hope that W Barcelona becomes part of this story./Ricardo Bofill
Founded in 1998 in New York City, W Hotels continues to transform into a global powerhouse. W Barcelona will be the brand's second property in Europe following the opening of W Istanbul last year.

TAMPA, Fla. – Forcing Virginia Intermont (0-1) into 28 turnovers, and connecting on nine three-point shots, the Saint Leo women's basketball team (1-0) defeated the Cobras 68-45, Friday afternoon on the first day of the Spartan Challenge (Hosted by the University of Tampa) at the Bob Martinez Athletic Center.
Teresa Manigrasso, in her first game for the Lions, led the team with 23 points as she went 3-for-5 from behind the three-point line. Additionally, Chelsea Williams was a rebound shy of a double-double as she finished the day with 13 points and a team-high nine boards. Elise Clyburn chipped in with 10 points.
Three-point shooting was the key to success for the Saint Leo in the opening 20 minutes as nine of the first 10 points scored by the Lions came as a result of the three. Kinnara Lewis, who registered the opening points of the season from behind the arc, was followed by back-to-back three's from Manigrasso as they held a 12-9 lead with 13:47 to play.
A 5-0 spurt by Virginia Intermont momentarily gave the Cobras a lead, 14-12, but another Manigrasso three once again established control of the scoreboard. From there, the two teams exchanged baskets with the Lions, backed by the perimeter shooting of Manigrasso, steadily extended the Lions' lead to eight, 31-23 at the halftime break. Over the final 5:37 of the half, the Saint Leo defense held the Cobras scoreless and forcing four turnovers.
Pulling away in the second half, the lock down Saint Leo defense, led by Chelsea Connelly and her career-best six steals, allowed the visiting Cobras to score just 22 points over the final 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, after a stagnate start to the half, the Lions' offense exploded for a 25-7 run to grab a 29-point lead with 5:37 remaining. Most of the offensive damage done during that stretch was by newcomer Colby Ryan as she scored all eight of her points during the five minute outburst. Her two, three-pointers were nearly matched by the hot hands of both Manigrasso and Clyburn as they finished with a combined twelve points during the run.
With the defense nearly impenetrable, Saint Leo kept the running lead throughout the final buzzer.
In total, the Lions shot 33.3 percent (21-for-63) from the field and 35 percent (9-for-26) from behind the three-point line. The Lions also scored 24 points off of the Cobras turnovers, while scoring 24 bench points.
The Lions will continue action at the Spartans Challenge (Hosted by the University of Tampa) on Saturday, November 10, when they battle Ave Maria in non-region action. Tip-off is set for 6:00 p.m. from the Bob Martinez Athletic Center.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The fifth-ranked Saint Leo University women's soccer team dropped their first contest of the season, falling to NAIA No. 1 Lindsey Wilson College by a final score of 2-1 at University Field, Tuesday evening.
Saint Leo accepts their first defeat of the season, and moves to a mark of 11-1-1, while the Lindsey Wilson Blue Raiders advance to a record of 10-0-1.
Dari Alcantara put the Green and Gold on the scoreboard with an unassisted blast from the right sideline, ripping a bending shot past Lindsey Wilson goalkeeper Jordan Morrison in the 56th minute to hand the Lions a 1-0 advantage.
But the Blue Raiders answered back in the 70th and 78th minutes, taking advantage of brief breaks in coverage on the Lions' back line.
Mia Persson knotted the score at one apiece, finding a misplayed ball from the Lions defense for a lofty shot that flew out of the reach of SLU keeper Laura Carstens. Persson connected to Ida Gregersen on the run eight minutes later, giving Gergersen the chance to notch the game-winner with a running strike into the bottom right corner of the goal.
After a scoreless opening period that saw three shots apiece from both teams, and one save by both goalkeepers, the Lions entered into the second stanza with increased intensity. Saint Leo out-shot their top-ranked NAIA opponent 13-3 in the final 45 minutes, but thanks to four saves from Morrison the Green and Gold was unable to capitalize on their offensive opportunities.
Overall, the Lions led the shot count 16-6, held the advantage in corner kicks, 8-4, and committed less fouls, posting five to the Blue Raiders' nine. Carstens collected one save on the evening as she faced six shots and three strikes on target.
The Lions return to action on Sunday, October 16, when they travel to Thomasville, Ga. to take on Thomas University. Kickoff against the Nighthawks is set for 1 p.m. For the latest news, updates, and information on the women's soccer team, visit SaintLeoLions.com.

A valuable away win, by 26pts to 9, against an in form Bridgend team on Friday evening 13th September, provided a big boost to Ponty's Celtic League campaign. With eight points notched up to their credit, Ponty are now lying in fourth position in pool B of the competition, their next engagement being a home tie against the bottom placed team, Scottish Borders, on Friday evening 20th September.
Whilst there is no doubting the importance of the victory at the Brewery Field, coach Lynn Howells is keeping his feet firmly on the ground, with a view that there is much work still to be done before his team can claim to be hitting top form. The main problem that needs addressing, according to Howells, is the ability to perform consistently over the eighty minutes, and to cut out lapses of concentration that inevitably prove costly in terms of points given away. "There are still a lot of things we need to work on and can improve on" said Lynn after the Bridgend game, "We lost too much ball going forward and our driving line out needs some work. At this stage of the season, it was a win, and that is important, but we know we have to work harder".
Nearly a month into the new campaign, Ponty's senior squad has a settled look to it, before the final registration of players for domestic and European competitions. With scrum half Phil Edwards now having been released, the current make up of the squad is as follows…
Full Backs: Brett Davey; Emyr Lewis.
Wingers: Gareth Wyatt; Matthew Nuttall; Richard Johnston (on dual registration with Llanharan).
Centres: Sonny Parker; Shaun James; Jon Bryant; Jason Lewis (dually registered with Newbridge).
Outside halves: Ceri Sweeney; Neil Jenkins.
Scrum halves: Paul John; Gareth Baber.
Props: Gethin Jenkins; Neil Hennessy; Duncan Bell; David Jones (currently on permit to Ebbw Vale). Sven Cronk (on dual registration with Pontypool) Hookers: Mefin Davies (cpt); Matthew Rees.
Locks: Brent Cockbain; Robert Sidoli; Dale McIntosh.
Back row: Nick Kelly; Michael Owen; Geraint Lewis; Kingsley Jones; Richard Parks; Wayne O'Connor (on dual registration with Rumney).
The Pontypridd under 21 team played a home league game against Caerphilly on Saturday 14th September, and emerged as comfortable winners by 50pts to 15. This was a good open encounter, with plenty of opportunities created and taken. Try scorers for Ponty were full back Darryl Lynch, wingers Daniel Hitchings and Richard Fussell, the latter with two tries, debutant flanker Craig Morris, also with two touchdowns, and centre Jon Rimmer. Four of the tries were converted by outside half Michael Thomas and one by substitute centre Lee Thomas.

text: Updated from 1:44 p.m. EST with Barclays PLC's own announcement that finance director Chris Lucas and group general counsel Mark Harding have resigned.NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Barclays PLC ( BCS) announced Sunday that finance director Chris Lucas and general counsel, Mark Harding, have decided to retire. The news comes as the U.K. bank is moving to further distance itself from scandals that have tarnished its reputation. Lucas and Harding will remain in their roles until successors can be found, the bank said. "Given the seniority of the roles, and the importance of securing the right candidates, we expect that process to take a considerable time to complete, Barclays said in a news release on its Web site. Earlier in the weekend, multiple media outlets citing anonymous sources had reported that Lucas, who has been Barclays' finance director for six years, was planning to announce his retirement. Last June, Barclays was fined $450 million for trying to rig the benchmark Libor interest rate. In the wake of the scandal, former CEO Bob Diamond, Chairman Marcus Agius and COO Jerry del Missier were all forced to resign, leaving Lucas as the only surviving executive director from before the bank was fined. More recently, U.K. authorities are investigating allegations that Barclays lent Qatar funds to invest in the bank in 2008, according to a Financial Times report this past week. The bank is looking to turn a new leaf and plans to unveil soon the results of a strategic review under new CEO Antony Jenkins, who has launched a public push to restore integrity and respect to the bank. Shares of Barclays closed Friday down 28 cents at $18.88.

Courteney Cox and Busy Philips filmed scenes for Cougar Town this afternoon in LA, and folks, that is one nice looking 45-year-old. Seriously, gotta give credit where credit is due, and Courteney could easily pass for Lindsay Lohan's little sister. But then again so could Phyllis Diller, I should work on my compliments.

Rihanna & Chris Brown have stuff happen to them
Here's the latest info on Rihanna & Chris Brown as it steamrolls in:
- Rihanna is providing "ongoing cooperation" with police to build a case against Chris Brown. That probably means they're not getting back together. [LA Times]
- Chris Brown "knocked around" Rihanna and she needed medical attention, a friend of the couple confirmed. The District Attorney's office may file additional charges Wednesday or Thursday. [People]
- The "Got Milk" People have dropped Chris's ad from their website and ended his campaign. For those keeping score at home that's gum, milk and basketball who now hate Chris Brown. Next stop: Shoes. [TMZ]
- Kanye West and T.I. have weighed in on the situation. T.I. spoke to Chris Brown who is "cool" but "concerned" about the situation, while Kanye calls Rihanna his "baby sis" and "will do anything to help her." Which apparently includes not blogging about in all caps. I'm as shocked as you are. [E! News]
NOTE: Encouraged by the "spirited" discussion in the threads, I've taken the liberty of forwarding certain commenters' IP addresses to the Black Panthers in hopes that you can have an educational, face-to-face conversation about race relations. Merry Christmas! :D

HOUSTON - A Houston lawmaker said Gov. Rick Perry should reimburse taxpayers for the amount of money spent on travel-related expenses during his bid for the Republican Party presidential nomination.
State Rep. Jessica Farrar, a Houston Democrat, sent a letter to Perry on Monday urging that he repay more than $2.6 million, the amount of money spent by the governor's campaign until he withdrew from the race last week.
"Given that (amount of money) amounts to about 10 cents for each Texan, direct reimbursement from the comptroller to taxpayers does not seem like a wise expenditure of taxpayers' money -- stamps are expensive these days," Farrar wrote in the letter. "Instead, we could put that money into classrooms, health services or disaster relief services."
The Texas Department of Public Safety provided security for the governor and his family during his short presidential run.
According to a review of campaign related expenses, the DPS was spending $400,000 a month for items like travel, lodging and food related to the campaign.
In the letter, Farrar also requested the governor return the $92,376 in retirement pension he received last year.
In response to the lawmaker's letter, Lucy Nashed, deputy press secretary for Perry released the following statement:
"Not a dime of the governor's political travel was borne by Texas taxpayers. Gov. Perry is governor no matter where he goes, and the Department of Public Safety has a policy of providing security for governors and their families everywhere they travel, as they have back several administrations. These policies are determined by DPS and not the governor's office. It's unfortunate that we live in a day and age where security is an issue. We respect and appreciate the officers who provide security for the Governor and First Lady and other state officials, just as they've done for decades.
"Gov. Perry retired under the Rule of 80, as is consistent with Texas state law and Employees Retirement System rules.
"We're encouraged to see Rep. Farrar wanting to join the ranks of fiscal conservatives in Texas, and look forward to her joining our efforts to persuade Congress and President Obama to repeal the fiscally irresponsible mandates of ObamaCare, noting the importance that our nation live within its means."

Hi everyone,
I'm busy normalizing my database and have a few questions.
My city table has a city id, city name and country idThe country table has a country id, country name and continent idThe continent table has a continent id and a continent name
I'll maybe need to add a region table as well.
Now the city id, country id and continent id columns are used as foreign keys in a "restaurant" table. Is it necessary to include the country id column since it's already present (as a foreign key) in the city table? If it isn't necessary then how would I use it to access the country name in the country table? Similarly the continent id might not be necessary since it is present in the country table. Or doesn't it work that way?
I'm just asking because my restaurant table already has a number of foreign key columns and the more there are, the more confusing things become. Scanning across a row just shows fields containing numbers. Is this just the ways things are?
Thanks for your time!
Yes, you need to store the country id, or you will not get back its name. But that assumes you need a country id to begin with...
SO, why give the country an id??? I bet it's a number.How many countries are there that have the same name??? (Hint an integer less than one but not a negative number)how many Scotlands can there be ? Well to quote Highlander "There can be only one."
So your country table should just be country and continent - do you know any continents with the same name? Didn't think so, so continents do not need an id either, just a name. I think Africa uniquely identifies which continent that is. Ditto Asia, Europe, etc.
So now your country table is reduced to just two columns - country and continent, country being the primary key. (and no continent table is needed either, unless you wish to use it as a look-up to populate a drop-down list for a select field in html.)Now you do not need a join to get at the country name because it will be in the restaurant table already!
You are falling into the beginners trap of thinking that every table should have a numerical id, even when the actual item of interest has a uniquely identifying name.
"Simplify and add more lightness"
best analogy for primary keys ever
That's all correct. Your restaurant table only needs a city id, because each city is already identified with a particular country and continent. When you select, you would join the city table to restaurant on the city id, the country table to city on country id, and the continent table to country on continent id.
This seems to be the old surrogate key vs natural key discussion. There's no consensus about which is the best approach -- even among experts. Here's an article that seems to have a good pro/con list. Personally, I'm in the surrogate key camp (that is, always use an ID), mostly for the "keep business logic out of the keys" reason. For example, if one day a country changes its name, then it's better if that country name isn't littered throughout your database as foreign keys.
Why are the countries and continents being stored in separate tables? Any given single restaurant of any given restaurant chain (McDonalds,KFC, Burger King, etc probably being the best example) can only ever be in one city, which only ever in one country which can only ever be in one continent. I would not rely on the name of a city as being the primary key (PK) for the city table as you might have multiple cities in the same country with the same name, using St Ives in England, according to Wikipedia there are three in England:
If you was to do any search (with city name as the PK for the city table) for restaurants of say McDonalds in St Ives you would get any listed that are in either of the above towns called St Ives. The person searching might have intended the St Ives in Cambridgeshire and that search might show it as having a branch of McDonalds there when in fact it might be the St Ives in Cornwall that has the branch. Also any given town might have multiple branches of a restaurant, New York for example will probably have a half dozen branches of each restaurant chain in the Manhattan area alone.
I would have a table recording each branch of a restaurant, with it's address, opening hours, etc as a separate record. I can't see any reason for seperate city and continent tables unless it's forming part of a larger app that needs them. Also I would use a surrogate key (SK) for the restaurants as a restaurant may change it's name or one chain might sell x number of branches to another chain which would then rename them. If you use the restaurant name alone as a PK, it ten branches change their name, you then got to change their name in the restaurants table as well as any other tables that have it listed as a foreign key(FK). If you use an numerical ID field as the PK for the restaurants table then you'd only need to change the name of the relevant restaurants in the restaurants table.
thank you for all of your input!
It seems that no one will normalize a database in exactly the same way. I've tried my best to structure the database according to the normal forms. My primary keys are all integers because they result in better MySQL performance (so I've been told). Looking at my tables I'm happy enough to have the continent name in the country table.
Restaurant table:restaurant_id, restaurant_name, city_id, other columns
City table:city_id, city_name, region_id
Region table:region_id, region_name, country_id
Country table:country_id, country_name, continent_name
@Jeff. Thanks for the info on the joins. It will hopefully be enough to have only the city_id in the restaurant table.
I have seen e-commerce "customer" tables that include columns for first name, last name, city, state, zip etc all in one table. Then why can't I do the same? Have all the location columns in the restaurant table. What would be the harm?
not only can you do the same, you should
how many customer tables have you ever seen where the first name is stored as an integer foreign key to a first names table?
why people want to do this with city names but not first names is illogical
"normailization" is the same in both cases
Hi again Rudy,
just to be 100% sure, are you saying that it would be perfectly OK to include the city, region, country and continent columns directly in the restaurant table? With this format I would no longer need separate city, region tables etc..
So a row would start with a restaurant_id of say, 32, then KFC, Paris, France etc...
Separate tables would be necessary only if I include city/region/country/continent-specific information, such as climate, demographics, latitude/longitude etc.
Thank you for your help.
yes, i am
mind you, it is then possible for someone to enter a restaurant in Paris, Farnce, and this restaurant would never show up in a search for France
but you gotta decide how much complexity (and user interface constrictions) you want to impose, in order to prevent this
Ok, thank you Rudy.
You of course know a lot more about databases and SQL than I do. If you have a moment could you please elaborate on your example. I don't quite get why one table vs multiple tables would make a difference when someone conducts such a search.
The number of countries and their names will not change very often so RedBishop could have them stored in the server-side script as an array and just edit the array in the script when needed.
It's possible that Google might have an api that could be used to validate (at least partially) any address and maybe the the maps and streetview could be used so that the user could see where they are on a map. RedBishop would need to look at the licensing, fees/charges, etc for that.
if the countries are set up as a table, and your application ensures that all restaurants are related to existing countries via the foreign key, then incorrect spelling of any country name will not be possible
if you simply allow country name to be entered into a text box, there is no foreign key check, and consequently incorrect spellings will be possible

ADELAIDE Football Club has posted a net profit of $122,434 for the year.
The Crows, who were the losing preliminary finalists in 2012, recorded a cash surplus of $1.21 million but a depreciation provision of $1.09 million resulted in the profit.
Adelaide's chief executive, Steven Trigg, said the financial result was pleasing in a tough environment.
''Obviously, the team's resurgence underpinned a very positive season, leading to our crowds and ticket sales being up,'' he said.
''But everyone involved has worked incredibly hard in a continuing tough environment to produce outstanding results across merchandise, corporate partnerships and commercial projects.''

From February 17, 1989 A Chessington man headbutted a motorist who accidentally ran over his pet dog outside a pub, the Surrey Comet reported 25 years ago today.
The 25-year-old found himself in court facing assault charges after his furious reaction outside the Bonesgate Pub in Moor Lane, Chessington, at about 4.20pm on June 28.
He admitted his headbutt was unprovoked, but claimed the driver of the blue Mazda pulled up after crashing into the dog, looked nonchalantly at the stricken animal, but refused to help.
The man said: "When my dog was jiggling around on the floor I was in shock as well as the dog. It was an unprovoked attack, but I couldn't handle just looking at my dog on the floor and the bloke not taking it to the vet."
He spat and lashed out at the driver, repeatedly attempting to headbutt him and kicking the side panels of his car.
The man admitted having had "a couple of pints" at the Bonesgate before the attack, but insisted that he was not drunk.
He said: "Cars fly down that road, but the accident wasn't his fault. He stopped to ask if the animal was all alright, but it clearly wasn't. This was all that he was prepared to do."
After the Surrey Comet made an appeal for witnesses, he gave himself up. The Surrey Comet did not report the name of the dog, or if it lived.
He pleaded guilty to causing actual bodily harm and criminal damage and was ordered to pay £545 in costs by Kingston magistrates.
His victim received bruising and swelling around his right eye and was given £75 injury compensation.

Parade of Nations Celebrates MultiCultural Character of Michigan Tech
Last Modified 1:05 PM, June 16, 2016
Community residents from Nepal showcase the traditional clothing of their homeland during a past Parade of Nations.
September 11, 2009—
Students from more than 70 countries attend Michigan Tech. They will provide a colorful backdrop for the twentieth annual Parade of Nations on Saturday, September 19. Traditionally, the communities of Houghton,, Hancock and surrounding communities turn out in force for the early fall festival.
"Dancing with Diversity" is the theme of this year's Parade of Nations, a festival filled with music, food and ethnic pride. The parade itself will start at 11 a.m. at Hancock Middle School and end in Houghton, where it will be followed by the Multicultural Food and Music Festival at Dee Stadium, from approximately noon to 4 p.m.
The parade will feature community members and students from Michigan Tech and Finlandia University, all representing diverse heritages. Ethnic groups with large numbers of students at Michigan Tech, such as Indian and Chinese, will celebrate their cultures with floats. The Michigan Tech Pep Band and local high-school and middle-school marching bands will play.
Besides the traditional parade, ethnic fare and clothing, this year's program includes a Bolivian group, Boliviamanta, which will give a benefit performance on Friday, Sept. 18, at 7 p.m. in the Memorial Union Ballroom at Michigan Tech. Kevin J. Walker, Tech's interim African American outreach coordinator, also will perform. A donation will be requested.
The celebration at Dee Stadium on Houghton's waterfront will be an opportunity to enjoy a diverse offering of handcrafts and tasty treats. As well, there is a children's activity area, along with free pony rides.

DETROIT (AP) -- A company led by Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert has agreed to acquire a majority interest in Detroit's Greektown Casino-Hotel.
Gilbert is chairman of Rock Gaming and founded Detroit-based Quicken Loans. Rock Gaming said in a statement Wednesday its Athens Acquisition LLC entity entered into the deal to acquire the interest in the casino's owner, Greektown Superholdings Inc.
Gilbert says "significant investment" is planned in and around Greektown Casino-Hotel. Plans could expand the existing entertainment district.
The acquisition is subject to approval from the Michigan Gaming Control Board.
Rock Gaming was formed in 2010 and partnered to develop Horseshoe Casino Cleveland, which opened in May, and Horseshoe Casino Cincinnati, which is set to open in March.
Gilbert's Rock Ventures LLC also has bought up a number of downtown Detroit buildings.
