Sports Injuries: common across all types of competitive sports
30th Aug 2018
Sports injuries are common. There is no shortage of instances when your favorite players are ruled out of important tournaments due to injury. Injuries are common across all types of competitive sports – cricket, soccer, hockey, tennis, running and so on.
Sports Injuries: Understanding its "Why" and "How"
Athletes might well be injured while they are training. There are times when they might get their posture wrong or when their bodies might end up reacting badly to a particular exercise. Whatever the cause of the injury – it's extremely important you ensure that as an athlete you're reaching out to the right medical experts who can help you sail through your rehab procedure with ease.
How should you go about looking for the right clinic?
Make sure you're getting in touch with medical experts who are actually qualified to treat sports men and women at all levels. A clinic that treats sports injuries on a regular basis ensures that all types of painful conditions or injuries are tested with the help of state-of-the-art infrastructural facilities. It is important to trust only those clinics that are backed by the best facilities and medical skills when it comes to assessing, diagnosing and treating sports injuries.
Sports Injuries: What kind of expertise can you access?
Depending on your needs you can access expertise for:
- Sports Medicine and Human Performance
- Biopuncture
- Soft tissue injury (both acute and chronic)
- Regenerative Medicine
- Sports Therapy
- Joint Aspiration

Do you remember the days when you'd sit down and wait for your favourite futuristic family to come on television? The Jetsons clan was always decked out in the coolest devices that did whatever they wanted at the flick of a switch or tap of a button. As they whizzed around in their flying car, you probably hoped that all this could be your reality as well.
While we have yet to develop the whimsy that is the flying car, we do have some seriously cool smart home technologies that are changing the way we look at comfort. Check out some of these home design enhancements that are easy to install, and will undoubtedly step your home up to the next level.
Set the mood with adjustable lights
Get the lights just right for every occasion when you install intelligent lighting. Tom's Guide explains that there are several versions of lights that can be controlled right from an app on your smartphone so you can use them even when you're away. When designing your own home, be sure to request these – they're like a much cooler version of clap-on-and-off lights!
Never let the temperature get too hot or too cold
Get the temperature just right every time with a smart thermostat. These have wireless sensors in each room so you can program them to whatever temperature you are most comfortable with. If the temperature starts to vary, the technology kicks in to readjust the room. And of course, there is an app to accompany these thermostats.
Safety in numbers
Next up, let's talk security. As you consider your home design, you must think about protecting the most valuable asset of all – your family. There are quite a few different smart lock technologies, including some that have keypads. Guessing your numeric password is much harder for a burglar than picking your lock!
There are a plethora of safety technologies that have specific functions for your home. There are outdoor security cameras that will alert you to any unusual activity, and there are indoor cameras so you can keep an eye on things in the home as well. Even if that's just to watch what your dog is up to while you're at work.
Ready to implement these smart home gadgets in a seamless manner? Give G.J. Gardner Homes a call to chat about a home design plan that will make you feel like you've stepped into the future.

Vandebilt Catholic senior volleyball player Brittany Theriot said she stands at 5-feet, 2-inches tall.
When she looked across the net during Wednesday's nondistrict season opener against Central Catholic, she saw a 6-foot-2 opponent in Lady Eagles senior Terre'yan Johnson.
Central Catholic had the height advantage, but Theriot said Vandebilt wanted to use its athleticism.
"We worked on passes all week and hitting around the blocks," said Theriot, who helped the Lady Terriers win the Division III state volleyball championship last season. "We knew we were going against a taller team. With someone being 6-2 against smaller people like that we knew what we had to do. We wanted to just tip it in the right areas and it worked for us."
Despite dropping the first set, the Lady Terriers kept their composure and rallied to win Wednesday's match 24-26, 25-19, 25-14, 25-19.
Theriot, who led the Lady Terriers with 19 kills on Wednesday, said it was a good challenge against Central Catholic, a Division V team that made it to the state semifinals last season.
"We just knew we had to start good," Theriot said. "We kind of started rough but we pulled ourselves together and finished strong. We knew what we had to do and we did it."
Johnson led Central Catholic (1-1 overall) with 21 kills, two aces, nine digs and four blocks.
"She got some kills, but we got some blocks on her too," Vandebilt head coach Greg Castillo said. "We're going to fool a lot of people with our height on the net. We're really not that tall, but we're just really athletic."
The Lady Terriers (1-0 overall) started Wednesday's match on the losing end, falling 26-24 due to several nagging errors.
"We had nine unforced errors in that first set," Castillo said. "We had a lot of hitting errors and serving errors, so I told them in the second set, if we cut down on our errors, we should win and they did."
In the next three sets, the Lady Terriers settled down and played their style of volleyball. The end result was a series of convincing victories.
"My setters were moving the ball around," Castillo said. "We didn't have to just focus on our outside hitters. Our middles and our outsides put the ball away. If we could just keep it going, we're going to have a pretty good year on offense."
Central Catholic head coach Latashia Wise, a former Assumption standout athlete and a former Vandebilt volleyball coach, said the Lady Terriers' experience paid off as the match went on.
"We're very inexperienced. I thought we came out strong," Wise said. "We came out and did everything we said we were going to do strategy wise. We did it in the first set, but then, we stopped making plays. Anytime you are playing against a very good team, that's going to happen. You've got to play consistently throughout the entire match."
Other leaders for Vandebilt on Wednesday were Angelle Buquet (22 assists, three aces), Tiffany Boudreaux (five digs) and Lauren Fitch (three blocks).
Wise said it was a good season opening matchup for both teams.
"We're playing against the state champs," Wise said. "Vandebilt is very good. They are very good on defense. They make good decisions. They are smart up top. They are all around a very good ball club."
DUTCHTOWN DEF. ASSUMPTION 25-15, 16-25, 25-15, 25-14 (at Geismar, nondistrict match)
Statistical leaders: Assumption – Ra'von Robertson (17 kills, seven digs, two aces and two blocks), Raegan Allemand (26 assists, six digs), Xaiya Adams (five kills, three blocks), Lani Alleman (eight digs), Sarah LeBlanc (eight digs).
Records: Assumption (0-1 overall); Dutchtown (1-0 overall).
THIBODAUX DEF. SOUTH TERREBONNE 25-18, 25-22, 25-13 (at Bourg, nondistrict match)
Statistical leaders: Thibodaux – Shantavia Nora (six kills, one block, three digs, one assist), Karli Marse (18 digs, two kills, three assists, one ace), Joey Weimer (19 assists, two kills, one ace, seven digs); South Terrebonne – Maggie Portier (nine kills, three blocks), Mariah Ross (five kills, one ace, three blocks), Makenzi Clement (eight assists, two kills, 10 digs) and Haley Gilling (24 digs).
Records: Thibodaux (2-0 overall); South Terrebonne (0-2 overall).

Bar Interior Design | Pleasant Bar | Stockholm | Electric Dream
Pleasant is an intimate 65 sqm bar situated in central Stockholm, opened in 2007.
As a starting point we worked with a fragmented fever dream, in which there was a place where the city meets an enchanted forest. The endless mirror ball ceiling in the bar area permits secret spying on everyone else. The wall framing the bar interior forms a graphic element as well as a bottle stand, DJ stand and one-cocktail-only tables. The mix of chairs are vintage, and coated with glossy black lacquer to become a family.
The restrooms play with infinity illusions and trippy kaleidoscopic effects. Strands of fiber optical threads are reflected in the mirror ceilings and walls, creating an endless sea of illuminated grass.....more

My latest review for Broadway World is up. Greil Marcus in his wheelhouse…link here!
My latest review for Broadway World is up. Greil Marcus in his wheelhouse…link here!
I think I may have found a personal theme song to keep me on the straight and narrow whenever an excess of uplift and good cheer begins to tug on my sleeve…Thanks Randy.
Hey, I knew keeping YouTube handy whilst perusing Greil Marcus's Real Life Rock would eventually pay off in something besides a new-found affection for the Ass Ponys!
Soon after I checked the index of Real Life Rock, the new compilation of Greil Marcus's "Real Life" columns from 1986 to 2014, I started reading it. Good idea. I'm fifty pages in and it's already blown past Mystery Train and Lipstick Traces as valuable cultural history.
I might pull that judgment back a bit later, but since I'm still in the Reagan Years and he's only fallen into the "I'm so edgy" trap a few times (my usual peeve with him…No Greil, Laraine Newman's nose job was not more tragic than John Belushi's death), I won't be surprised if it sustains. We'll see if I can stand up to the inevitable "Bill Clinton made me feel like an American again" tongue jobs as well, but, for now, I have high hopes and look forward to many happy reading hours.
But speaking of cultural history, one of the things the book is reminding me of is the great CD vs. Vinyl debate of the late eighties. Of course that debate still goes on, albeit in much more muted form, and, by now, I'm pretty much comme ci comme ca. But I was a fierce defender of vinyl back then and a very slow convert to the new order.
There was a reason beyond nostalgia and the fact that CDs were clearly a means to jack up prices, a decision that, following along with the entire eighties-and-beyond approach to the political economy, prized short term profit over not merely long term profit but long term survival. (Worked like a charm, incidentally. Record companies and their multi-corp overlords made out like bandits for about fifteen years. Another fifteen years later, the music industry is toast.)
That additional reason was simple and good: early digital mastering and re-mastering was highly variable in quality. At best, which was seldom, it didn't improve anything. At worst, which was often, it dispersed sounds that were meant to be fully integrated and sucked the life out of everything it touched.
Over time, this problem was addressed and, if there's still nothing quite like virgin vinyl, the distance between that and a well-mastered CD (of which there are now many) has long ceased to be any kind of deal killer for me.
But it was tough hump to get over there at the first. Marcus brought the memories flooding back because, in the first part of the book, he frequently writes about the lifeless nature of the wave of poorly conceived and executed oldies' packages that accompanied the rise of digital technology. I can well remember hearing "Kentucky Rain" on a radio station's CD player for the first time and saying: "Never!"
I was still young then (how young you'll find out if you stick with me another minute). I did have a vague idea that never was a long time. CDs were the coming thing, even by 1986. I managed to hold out for four whole years.
Somewhere in there, I accumulated a CD ready receiver. It didn't mean much at first because, well, I didn't have a CD player and I certainly didn't have any CDs.
If you've been around here a while, or just know me from the outside world, you probably won't have any trouble guessing which I bought first.
Ah, but which CD? Which CD made me cough up a few bucks, knowing good and well it might be months yet (or, in my fevered imagination) even years before I actually possessed a CD player?
Don't even bother guessing. No matter how well you know me, you wouldn't get it. I wouldn't even get it myself, just by knowing me.
I had to be there.
There used to be a southern record chain called Turtle's. In the late eighties/early nineties, something, maybe the CD boom itself, helped them expand beyond their Atlanta base and they opened an outlet in Tallahassee. As record stores went, it wasn't anything special. Better than the mall stores. Not as good as the old Record Bar. Nowhere near as good as local legend Vinyl Fever.
Still, just about every record store has its merits. At Turtle's they had a pretty good bargain bin. Along about 1990, I don't recall if they were carrying any vinyl or not. But I was in there for some reason, maybe just because it was handy to the town's good video store at the time (both to be shortly subsumed by Blockbuster, may it rest in shattered pieces…in one of life's rare good jokes, the video store survived by moving to a new location and actually outlasted the giant by some years, though it, too, is now gone).
Whatever the reason for me being there, I happened to start browsing the bargain bin for CDs.
Well, not really browse.
It was more like I stood there, asking myself if it was any way humanly possible that some good could come of just stepping over there and going back to my roots, shuffling through cheap CDs the way I used to shuffle through cheap records. Did I still have the endless patience required to find the occasional nugget among the dross? If not, could I re-acquire it?
Were there any nuggets among this particular pile of dross?
Not much new stuff was getting released on vinyl by then. Maybe nothing was. The memory hazes.
So I stood there, hooked on the horns of a classic dilemma. Not much of a way forward. Certainly no way back.
Then my eye fell on something in particular, sitting up at the front of the bin, and I gave myself a little shake, like I was dispensing with a haint, and took the fateful step that brought me within arm's reach.
What I saw was this:
Who remembers the cost on the shrink-wrap's price tag? $3.97 maybe? Sure, let's go with that. Anyway it was remaindered. Its one big hit hadn't been enough to keep it from the very large cutout bin at Turtle's.
Once I determined the hit was on the CD, I tried to put it back. Honestly.
But it kept sticking to my hand, probably because that one big hit kept sticking in my head.
I think I was still sweating when I exited the place, my first CD purchase in hand.
I had paid money, for what I was pretty sure was going to be one song (about that I was right), that I couldn't play for God knew how long because I didn't have anything to play it on.
A line had definitely been crossed.
Twelve years later, when the great CD selloff of 2002 occurred, I held back exactly three items. One was the Shangri-Las' Myrmidons of Melodrama. I'm sure you don't need me to go on about that. One was a beach music comp that had Billy Ocean's "Love Really Hurts Without You" on it. I missed it on 45 in 1976 and spent more than twenty years tracking it down. That one I wasn't letting go.
And one was Jane Wiedlin's Fur.
Which I held on to for some of the same reasons I had once held on to vinyl for so long that Fur ended up being my first CD.
I had missed "Rush Hour" on 45 in 1988. Assuming it was even on a 45. In any case, I had found it there in Turtle's in 1990, by which time I had already decided "cassingles" would not be any kind of long term solution to my burgeoning problem–How to get hold of that one song that will drive you crazy if you can't play it when you want to?
I had missed out on "Rush Hour" and then found it a mere two years later.
On a cheap CD.
Good thing. Because vinyl-wise, I had a better chance of tracking down "Love Really Hurts Without You."
So I gave in, there in Turtle's in 1990, and, really, I know it was for the best.
When the old battles finally can't be won, you develop new strategies. Or let the kids do it. (They have, which is probably why vinyl is still around. Heck they even sell it in places like Books-A-Million now, where it tends to cost more than the CDs.)
Out of my then-new strategy one very peculiar phenomenon arose.
I developed a habit of getting up in front of my speakers whenever I played "Rush Hour" and, more or less, dancing.
The only other song that ever occasionally made me want to do anything similar was the Jackson 5's "ABC." The dance I used to do to that–very occasionally–was long past me by 1990. I mean, I turned thirty that year. Unless you've stayed in top training, you can't run in place and clap your hands between your knees when you're thirty. At least you can't do it in perfect time for three choruses.
You might still be able to just do the running in place bit, though. Hence, was born the Rush Hour Dance at the Ross apartment.
It went something like this: You run in place for about the first three and half minutes, varying your toe-tap speed in time with the music, but gradually gaining intensity throughout. Then, with about forty-five seconds to go, you move out of "place" and start moving around the apartment in a circle. Short up-and-down steps at first, then longer strides as the record nears the final climax.
Then, if you are at the Ross apartment (as you'll see in a moment, this should never be tried anywhere else), you come up behind the solid oak table with the slate top that sits between your two recliners, leap into the air and land on the beat, preferably with a windmill or two from the right arm.
And when the song is over, you hop down.
I'm not going to pretend this was some every day occurrence.
But every few months or so, for a few years, it did happen. Mostly it was for private consumption. I have a sterling reputation as a wallflower and I generally prefer to uphold it. Too much pressure, I've found, in leaving the world with confused and exalted expectations if you start hinting at previously hidden possibilities.
I can therefore swear that the only time any portion of the Rush Hour Dance was witnessed by other human beings was in 1994, at Doak Campbell Stadium, after Florida State scored a touchdown to tie Florida at 31-31 in the waning minutes of the game.
There was plenty of room to run in place on the row in front of me, because the people sitting all along it had shown perfectly good common sense and departed twelve minutes earlier when the score was 31-3.
If we had gone for two and made it, who knows? I might have added the leap.
As it happened, the leap was not long for the world and neither was the Rush Hour Dance.
There came a day in 1998 (or so), when I realized I hadn't done it in a while. In fact, I hadn't really done it since I moved to my house in 1995.
So it began to bug me a bit. Could the Rush Hour Dance be transferred?
It was one of those questions that could not go long unanswered.
Cue Fur.
Punch in Track Two.
Start running in place. Play air guitar. (Oh, did I forget to mention that? That's important. You have to play air guitar. Otherwise you just feel stupid.)
Keep it up for three minutes plus. Feel the music. Feel the need to break out.
Start running in your circle.
Move out to the left, around the second recliner, just like always.
Become lost in ecstasy, as though time has stood still.
Realize that time has not really stood still, because your legs never used to burn like this.
Sing along. (Oh yeah, did I mention that while you're running in place, and then just running, and playing air guitar, you have to sing? Otherwise what's the point?)
Run along behind the recliner. Move toward the table.
Don't look at it.
No fair looking.
Judge the leap. Get in perfect time, with "Rush Hour" and the universe.
Leap and turn at the same time.
Rise into the air.
Reach the peak.
Smile as it comes back to you that this elevation you somehow achieve during the Rush Hour Dance is at least a foot higher than you can jump normally.
Look down.
Recall at that very instant, that your solid oak, slate topped table, has been replaced by a cheap piece of plaster board and plastic tubing that will be crushed like a grape if anything larger than a marble lands on it from your present height.
Imagine yourself in traction.
Think fast, at the hyper-speed which, in fact, only the Rush Hour Dance permits.
Point your toe like a freaking ballerina.
Continue soaring through the air.
Skim lightly over the surface with a single skip you could never repeat in a thousand years and land safely and squarely on your feet in front your speakers.
In perfect time.
Fall into one of your recliners, who cares which one, laughing hysterically like a man who just escaped being shot at.
Take ten minutes to fully catch your breath.
Resolve to retire the Rush Hour Dance. Forever.
Know that you, and the dance, went out on top, with Jane Wiedlin whispering in your own ear, and that of every Rio-t-t-t Girl and Pop Tart ever born: "We're still the Go-Go's. And you're still not."
Have a nice weekend. I have to get back to reading.

NOAA Fisheries' Greater Atlantic Regional Fisheries Office is hosting three workshops throughout New England to gather stakeholder input on developing both short- and long-term management measures for the recreational fishing community.
The goal of the workshops is to facilitate a collaborative process to develop management measures for the recreational groundfish fishery that balance the need to prevent overfishing with enabling profitability in the for-hire fleet and providing worthwhile fishing opportunities for anglers.
All stakeholders, including private anglers, for-hire vessel captains and owners, as well as charter boat customers, are encouraged to attend. Attendees may request a travel stipend for mileage.

Dance is now my relationship with every thing: peoples, places, systems. The interplay is a come and go, a turn and twist, a slip, a lunge, a pause and a dip! It is spirited and calm, evocative and pensive.
These past few months have been most auspicious. I have attended many conferences, convergences and retreats. My intention for spring 2016 was to accept every invitation to events where my opinions would be challenged, my experiences would be expanded, my senses extended and my perceptions shaken. InClaritas occurred during the middle of this practice. On the spectrum of experiences, it fell in the middle as well. The edges of the bell curve were represented by a commercial gathering of entrepreneurs and a two-day peyote journey guided by a Huichol Elder and shaman. The breadth of human experience, the extent of diversity continues to enthuse me. Even the holographic possibility (likelihood?) blows my mind. I am the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, skin and intuition of the UNI-VERSE.
My time with you in Hana continues to influence my days and my perception. I intend to return to Alakukui this fall to continue this exploration. I feel great gratitude for the experience of you, the experience of us, the support of the people of Maui and Hana, the teachings, the patience, the quiet and the ancestral reverence.
My days now are full of dance. Dance is my relationship with every thing: peoples, places, systems. The interplay is a come and go, a turn and twist, a slip, a lunge, a pause and a dip! It is spirited and calm, evocative and pensive. Today I am at a 4 day music festival in Telluride, Co and this week I go the a global mapping conference where my non-profit, PUENTE, is one of 14 selected organizations to exhibit in the SUSTAINABILITY HALL. We are dedicated to SPIRIT, SCIENCE and ART and my time with you in Hawai'iana has helped to curate this devotion, this vision. We have been gifted with great fortune and opportunity since we met and I am in gratitude for the elevated field you manifest.

Some of the Most Important Education Issues Facing Arizona (And One Item That Doesn't Make the List.)
David Safier
January 04, 2019
7 comments
Let's see, what are the most important education issues facing the legislature this year? Fulfilling its promise to continue raising teacher salaries is definitely on the list. So is increasing charter school transparency and oversight to weed out rampant corruption and profiteering. And decreasing teacher shortages. And decreasing class sizes. And increasing education budgets so old buses can be replaced, old schools can be maintained and old textbooks and technology can be updated. And let's not forget ridding the state of its destructive English Immersion model for ELL students.
Other problems could be addressed as well, like, say, updating the Department of Education's computer data systems and fully funding the oversight and management of the ESA voucher program (Yes, those are important).
Any more? I know I've left stuff out, like increasing access to preschool and who knows what else. In a state that has shortchanged its children for so long, the list is almost endless.
But I know one issue that doesn't even make the top one hundred: getting politics out of the classroom.
So what has the media talked about nonstop for weeks? A proposed bill to get politics out of the classroom.
Yes, such a bill has been proposed. Yes, it would be a travesty if it passed. But no, it doesn't deserve all the attention it's been getting. (And yes, I'm fully aware that I'm giving it more attention by writing about it.)
Giving that much press coverage to a non-story uses up all the oxygen in the room. Substantive educational issues struggle to get the media attention they deserve.
The beneficiaries of the current feeding frenzy around this story are the anti-public education forces in the state, people who would rather not put more money into education or increase oversight of charter schools. The purpose of the legislation is to demonize teachers. It turns them into villains with a political agenda who are corrupting the youth of Arizona. So: "Why encourage the scoundrels by paying them more? Why give them even more money for materials to further indoctrinate our children? Let's get politics out of the classroom first, then we can talk about other education issues."
This is a calculated response to the #RedforEd movement which was far too successful in the eyes of conservative legislators and the powerful interests who support them. Despite early attempts by Governor Ducey and fellow Republicans to demonize the demonstrating teachers, they grew in political power and popularity the longer they stayed on the streets, and they still have the public behind them. The "politics in the classroom" bill is an attempt to turn the #RedforEd success story on its head.
I'm one of those people who believe history doesn't repeat itself; it rhymes. And to me, the current attempts to demonize teachers by claiming they're pushing their political views on our children rhymes with past attempts to demonize TUSD's Mexican American Studies program by claiming the teachers were churning out Latino students who hate white people and aspire to become bomb-throwing revolutionaries. Two Superintendents of Public Instruction, Horne and Huppenthal, rode their anti-Latino, anti-MAS campaigns into office. As an added bonus, when the anti-MAS story dominated the news, it pushed genuine educational issues off the table.
This year, Red Is the New Brown. RedforEd is the current version of the old "Scary brown people are taking over our schools" story.
Trump has been wildly successful at controlling news cycles by getting the press to obsess over the batshit crazy things he says and ignore more important, more substantive matters. If Arizona Republicans are smart and media savvy, which they tend to be, they'll employ a similar tactic. Realizing that the "politics in the classroom" story is catnip for journalists, they'll bring it out whenever they need a bright, shiny educational object to dangle in front of the media, turning their attention away from more pressing educational issues in the legislature.
It's possible this story will disappear when the legislative session begins. Maybe the bill will die in committee and never be heard from again. But it's also possible — I'd say probable — that anti-public school conservatives will milk it for all it's worth. Stay tuned.
A "The Star Takes the Bait" Extra.
Monday, December 31, The Star
featured a story
about the "Politics in the classroom" bill on its front page. Well, everyone else did it, so why not our local daily? But the editors decided that wasn't enough. On the front page of the Tucson & Region section, they doubled down with
a story about two teachers
who were fined for political advocacy on school time. First, a story about the bill on the front page, then a story suggesting we really do need the legislation to stop all these nasty teachers from pushing their political views on our kids.
The accusations against the teachers were a purely political move. They barely deserved a mention. The teachers' violations were about as insignificant as a pedestrian stepping into the street before the light turns green. But The Star featured the story anyway, creating a one-two, anti-teacher punch in its Monday edition.
The story came from the AZ Republic, which had run an excellent, important investigative series on charter school corruption and profiteering, which the Star didn't see fit to print. But this trivial story about a couple of teachers behaving badly (even though they didn't actually behave badly)? That, the editors decided, is a story that needs to be told.
Arizona schools. Teacher salaries. State budget. Politics in the classroom. RedforEd.

His Checkered Life From Rich Boy to Sick, Poor Novelist
By Chung Ah-young
Staff Reporter
CHUNCHEON ― When you travel on a train connecting Seoul to Chuncheon in Gangwon Province, you can find a very unique station ― Gimyujeong (Kim You-jeong) Station ― named after the renowned novelist Kim You-jeong (1908-1937).
The station, which opened in 1939 on the railway linking the capital and Chuncheon, was renamed Gimyujeong Station in 2004 after Kim who lived in the region and popularized 1930's Korean literature.
Getting off at the station, the Silre Village welcomes visitors. The village is the birthplace of Kim and is also known as the setting for his works ``Bom, Bom'' (Spring Spring), and ``Dongbaekggot'' (Spicebush Flowers).
The village is home to the now-lost `30s rural community where visitors can experience the village dialect with its rough but correct sentences, and unique humor.
Five minutes from the station is the ``Kim You-jeong House of Literature.'' The house, where he was born, includes an exhibit hall, a cow shed, a rice mill and a pavilion.
The village has something special this year to celebrate this year, the 100th anniversary of Kim's birth in 1908.
The village has changed a lot since the 1930s but still has its rural scenery where you can find spots depicted in his novels.
Jeon Sang-guk, head of the house and professor of Korean language and literature at Kangwon University, said that among 31 novels, 12 works used the village as the setting.
``Not only the village's titles, but also most of the characters of his works were found to be people who actually lived in the village,'' Jeon said in an interview with The Korea Times.
The 66-year-old, who has served as the head of the literary house since its inception in 2002 to commemorate Kim's artistry, said the village is different from other similar towns paying tribute to late novelists and poets.
``This region is the birthplace of Kim and also his literary motivation. The village itself is a vivid museum preserving his memory and literary values. Villagers are voluntarily engaged in activities related to Kim,'' Jeon said.
Who is Kim You-jeong?
The novelist was born to a well-to-do family in 1908 in Silre village, Sindongmyeon, Chuncheon.
He graduated from Jaedong Public Elementary School in Seoul, attended Whimoon High School and, in 1930, entered Yonhee College (now Yonsei University). However, he dropped out shortly afterward.
He lost his parents at an early age, and failed to win the love of Park Rok-ju, a female traditional singer and entertainer, a loss that left him trapped in bitter sorrow.
In 1932, he returned to his hometown and set up a night school, ``Geumbyeonguisuk,'' through which he launched a rural enlightenment campaign.
He formally made his debut in the world of literature in 1935 when ``Rain Shower'' was published in the Chosun Ilbo and ``Windfall'' in the Joongang Ilbo. However, some of Kim's works were published in literary magazines even before his formal debut. Works such as ``A Wayfarer in the Mountainous Area'' and ``Bachelor and Frog'' are such examples. His literary career spanned four to five years, Jeon explained.
Despite his short-lived literary activities, he wrote over 30 novels as well as 10 essays, showing his energy.
On March 29, 1937, Kim passed away in poverty and sickness at the youthful age of 29.
He left a great mark in the history of Korean novels with works depicting the joy and sorrow of the common people both in urban and rural areas. His representative works include ``Spring Spring,'' ``Donggbaekggot,'' ``Rain Shower,'' ``Manmubang,'' ``Ttaengbyeot'' (Scorching Heat), and ``The Wretched.''
Kim's Literature: Comic Humor
Kim's writing is rich and earthy and he had an excellent command of the native Korean vocabulary.
His literary language is crude and rhythmical and describes the aesthetics of a vivid life mixed with humor. But the playfulness of some of these works masks his profound sorrow.
His birthplace, which gave him comfort, greatly influenced his literary style. After returning to his hometown, his contact with the stark realities of rural life and the rustic language of farmers enabled him to cultivate a style for his uniquely creative world.
He utilized this style successfully to build up the foundation of Korean realism by presenting people's life from diverse angles based on the folk emotions of Koreans in the colonial period of the 1930s.
Jeon explained that Kim's literary works have a universal ascetic, which touches not only Koreans but also foreigners.
He said that Kim's novel, ``Rain Shower'' was translated into French and garnered huge popularity with some reviewers calling him ``Korea's Guy de Maupassant.''
``Among the literary works created in the 1930s, Kim's works are still being read through school textbooks. Almost all Korean students might have read Kim's works. It means they have a universal sense of humor and beauty regardless of time and space,'' he said.
Jeon said that although Kim was born into a wealthy family and was an intellectual, the narrators in his books were always lower class people such as farmers or the wretched.
``So his literary language is very crude but vivid in showing the dialect and the words people used in the 1930s. He didn't use the Chinese words many literary men used, although he studied Chinese literature. He always used Korean native words because he thought novels about the life of the mediocre were supposed to be easy,'' he added.
Jeon said that ``Manmubang'' and ``Ttaraji'' are good examples epitomizing the characters in his novels ― ridiculous and yet realistic.
His checkered life from a rich boy to a sick and poor novelist made his literary works more realistic and desperate, plagued by life-and-death problems such as poverty.
In stories such as ``Dongbaekggot,'' Kim wrote with affection of the farming villages and the foibles of his villagers. The budding sexuality implicit in ``Dongbaekggot'' becomes more overt in ``Rain Shower.'' Still other works, such as ``Ttaengbyeot'' (Scorching Heat) are downright gloomy.
Camellias: Wrong Name of Spicebush Flowers
There is a common misconception about one of his masterpieces, ``Dongbaekggot.'' Dongbaekggot is a dialect form for the Japanese spicebush referred to in his village. Dongbaekggot is often regarded as meaning the camellia with the same name in Korean, which grows mainly in southern regions of the peninsula with big red flowers.
Jeon said that the novel depicts the flowers as ``yellow flowers releasing a spicy and fresh aroma,'' which bloom very early in the spring before the leaves appear.
``It is the Japanese spicebush, not the camellia, which is the wrong translation due to misunderstanding of folk culture,'' he said.
Centenary Anniversary Events
The literary house and a centenary organizing committee are hosting various celebratory events throughout this year.
``Kim's novels will be re-created as various artistic genres such as plays and traditional performances,'' Jeon said.
``Anhae'' (Wife) is being staged as a play, until April 20, by Art-3 Theater based in Chuncheon.
On April 25-26, there is an academic seminar titled ``Korean Laughing Culture'' in Chuncheon. On May 10, Korean percussionist Kim Duk-soo will perform ``samulnori'' and crossover music along with classical musicians.
In October, about 40 prominent Asian authors including Kenzabur Oe will gather at Kangwon University. ``They will come to the village from Seoul via train. It will be a rare opportunity for them,'' he said.
Around the house, there is a ``literary walkway,'' which leads to a path to Mt. Geumbyeong, where spicebush and cornus flowers bloom in springtime.

BALTIMORE (WJZ)—It was the worst flooding we've seen in years. And weeks later, area businesses are still struggling to recover.
Jessica Kartalija reports from Mt. Washington, where a business owner is starting from scratch, hoping to cook up some new business.
She built her cupcake business from the ground up, and then it all washed away.
Recent flooding caused major damage to businesses in Mt. Washington.
"It's heart wrenching," said Sandra Long, Charm City Cupcakes owner. "If it wasn't nailed down, literally just washed out the door."
But Long is determined to keep her business cooking.
"As a business owner you just don't expect to ever get that call, where not only can you not operate, but truthfully, you are out of business," Long said.
Floodwater seeped through windows and doors, leaving pile of mud several inches thick, inside.
"It's hard to see your cupcakes like this. They are still beautiful, but we have to sell them out of a box until we can get another case," Long said.
And that could take weeks.
All this weekend, Long and her staff will be doing minis for Mt. Washington. All the proceeds from the sale of the mini cupcakes will go toward rebuilding the shop.
"Charm City Cupcakes is the love of my life. To lose that and be faced with the reality that you're going to shut your doors it is heart wrenching," Long said.
Support from the community is the icing on the cupcake.
"They know I baked them this morning, so they're OK," Long said.
This weekend, Charm City Cupcakes is open from 10 a.m. until 6:30 p.m. at the Mt. Washington location.
The cupcake shop is in a historic guard house in Mt. Washington that dates back to the 1800s.

Kate Gosselin's Heart 'Rocked' During Custody Battle With Jon: Not Going Down 'Without A Fight'
Deputy Editor of Los Angeles
Kate Gosselin is shook, and not in the good way! The mom of eight was 'rocked' during her latest custody battle with her ex, Jon, but HollywoodLife.com has EXCLUSIVELY learned she's ready for battle.
"Kate [Gosselin]'s heart gets rocked whenever she hears that her children prefer to be with their father over her. Kate has been the ever present, dutiful good parent for years, while Jon [Gosselin] has been an unstable, inconsistent father providing little to no structure to their large family," a source close to the Gosselins tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.
As previously told you, the police were reportedly called after Jon, 42, and Kate, 40, got into a heated custody battle over one of their kids. According to TMZ, the exes were at an orthodontics office when they got into their fight. "When police arrived, both parents had conflicting versions of their current agreement in place," Sergeant Grim of the Wyomissing, PA police department confirmed to HollywoodLife.com. "The child left with [the] father while the mother was referred to Berks County District Attorney's office for a more clear interpretation of the child custody agreement. The current order is vague, according to Burks Co. DA and so the DA is going to interpret and inform the mother's attorney to contact the DA's office for clarification of the order." We now believe that child may have been 13-year-old Hannah — according to InTouch magazine. The news outlet claims Hannah screamed because she didn't want to leave her father and go home with her mother. The whole situation has caused a lot of aggravation for everyone involved, and Kate's ready to go to war with Jon.
"Kate feels floored now that Jon has finally created some stability in his life. And now, he feels he can come in and take over with shared custody. It is not fair to Kate and she feels it is not healthy for the children, who have a very regular routine with their mother. She has the children on a regular schedule, is the disciplinarian and has given the kids everything Jon hasn't. If Jon thinks he can swoop in and take over after being so irregular for several years, well, Kate is not going to let that happen without a fight," our source adds.
HollywoodLifers, how do YOU feel about Kate putting up a fight? Who should get custody of the kids? Tell us below!

* Our in-house student satisfaction survey has found that every department scored 97%. However, within this, we have identified three groups: – Green: 97.7-97.99% – Amber: 97.4-97.69% – Red: 97.0-97.39%. As you can imagine, this is cause for concern.
* N.K. Jemisin's preface to the new edition of Parable of the Sower. As of date, the Octavia E. Butler papers are the most circulated and accessed collection at the Huntington. What a potent reminder of the significance of her words, more than a decade after her passing. And a TED Talk from Ayana Jamieson and Moya Bailey: Why should you read sci-fi superstar Octavia E. Butler?
* There's No Severing Michael Jackson's Art From His Obsession With Children.
* A 1983 EPA report titled "Can We Delay a Greenhouse Warming?"
You can dance around it all you like, but the simple fact is that we need to curb our emissions and guide the rest of the world in doing so in an amount of time radically shorter than conventional politics and market solutions alone will allow. https://t.co/5u82WDnACF

I have a 7 year old daughter & a 9 year old son. They are not going to meekly accept living in hell so that people can write essays laughing at them for The Atlantic. Millions and millions and millions of children won't accept it. Politicians have no idea what's coming for them.

A very small group of rich people have condemned virtually every living thing on Earth to death—genocide on an unprecedented and scarcely imaginable scale—and not only will they get away with it, they're actually rewarded for it. That's what capitalism is.

* White Settlers Buried the Truth About the Midwest's Mysterious Mound Cities.
* Tenure and promotion letters — a thread.
* Writers love to hate creative writing programs, graduates of them most of all. In 2009, literature scholar Mark McGurl published The Program Era, in which he declared the rise of creative writing "the most important event in postwar American literary history." For an academic book full of graphs and terms like "technomodernism," it reached a wide audience, prompting reviews and editorials from publications like The New York Times Book Review and The New Yorker. While McGurl steered clear of either celebrating or condemning the creative writing program — seeking "historical interpretation," not valuation, he emphasized — his reviewers did not. Charles McGrath, the former editor of the NYTBR, called creative writing a Ponzi scheme. Chad Harbach, a founding editor of n+1, suggested that the MFA program had transformed books from things to be bought and read into mere "credentials" for professors of creative writing. Literature scholar Eric Bennett wrote that the Iowa Writers' Workshop, his alma mater, discouraged all writing that wasn't either minimalist, conversational, and tenderhearted, or magical realist. Junot Díaz, a Cornell alum, argued that the creative writing workshop secured the whiteness of American literature. And the attacks keep coming, not that they have slowed applications. Some 20,000 aspiring writers apply to MFA programs every year, and the numbers continue to rise.
The range of writers who come out of graduate programs in creative writing make it difficult to argue that the MFA has somehow flattened literature, that T. C. Boyle, Sandra Cisneros, and Denis Johnson all write with something called "Iowa style." The world of creative writing isn't homogeneous, and for a lot of writers it offers time rather than instruction, two years to complete a book-in-progress rather than two years to mimic their advisor's prose or verse. But creative writing also didn't come out of nowhere. It emerged from a long-since-forgotten philosophical movement that instituted creative writing as a discipline for learning about yourself rather than the wider world.

* Living with Type 1 Diabetes When You Can't Afford Insulin.
* Every parent with a disability could benefit from a friend like Carrie Ann. The fact that she is no longer in our world just enrages me more now. The fact that the systems that should be in place to maintain the care and wellbeing of people with disabilities and their families, killed her. The fact that her insurance company thought that the medication she needed to recover from a lung infection was too expensive and instead approved a drug that would lead to her loss of speech and her eventual death. Carrie Ann Lucas died to save $2000, even though it ended up costing the insurance company over $1 million to try and salvage their error.

It actually sounds at least as well as achieved as the interruptive ads in comics.
* We gradually become less attentive as we age—and not just because we stop giving a damn. The phenomenon is due to a shrinking "useful field of view," the feature of visual attention that helps us recognize at a glance what's important to focus on. Studies show that kids have a similarly limited field of view, hindering their ability to register the complete visual world around them.

Los Angeles Times correspondent Matt Pearce highlighted a number of the most chilling moments from the indictment on Twitter, including excerpts showing the ride's rushed design and construction, secret failed bouts of testing, willful destruction of safety reports, and even an incident in which Miles allegedly sent lawyers in an effort to intimidate teenage employees from blowing the whistle on the park.

* Analyzing the Crazy, Complicated Credits of Avengers: Infinity War.
* My estimates regarding the average revenue generated by major-conference football and basketball players are based on varying assumptions, ranging from very conservative to relatively liberal, regarding the effects of big-time college sports on fund raising. Yet even the low-end estimate suggests that, if players were compensated on the model employed by professional sports leagues when they divide revenue, major college football and basketball players should receive an average of $750,000 annually. Note that this figure would still result in these nonprofit — and therefore largely untaxed — universities retaining revenues generated by football and basketball that would equal their entire athletic operating budgets just a decade ago.
