Die Odenwaldbahn (auch Badische Odenwaldbahn zur Unterscheidung von der hessischen Odenwaldbahn) ist eine ehemals durchgehende badische Eisenbahnstrecke.

Sie führte von Heidelberg über Neckargemünd und Meckesheim durch den kleinen Odenwald über Waibstadt, sowie Mosbach, Osterburken und Lauda ins bayerische Würzburg. Die Verbindung umfasst die Bahnstrecken Heidelberg–Neckarelz (siehe Abschnitte Heidelberg–Neckargemünd, Neckargemünd–Meckesheim und Meckesheim–Neckarelz) und Neckarelz–Würzburg-Heidingsfeld (siehe Abschnitte Neckarelz–Osterburken und Osterburken–Würzburg).

Geschichte

Entstehung

Die Pläne zum Aufbau eines Eisenbahnnetzes im Großherzogtum Baden Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts konzentrierten sich zunächst auf den Bau der Badischen Hauptbahn als Nord-Süd-Strecke durch die Oberrheinische Tiefebene von Mannheim nach Basel sowie zum Anschluss der Bodenseegegend um Konstanz. Hingegen blieb der Nordosten Badens unberücksichtigt. Am 6. Mai 1846 gab es eine erste Petition an den badischen Landtag zum Bau der Odenwaldbahn. Daher wurden ab den 1850er Jahren immer lautere Forderungen erhoben, auch diese ärmlichen Gebiete im südlichen Odenwald, im Bauland und im Taubertal (landläufig auch als Badisch Sibirien verspottet) an das Eisenbahnnetz anzuschließen. Zwar ließ eine Bahnstrecke in diese Gegend, wenn überhaupt, nur eine kleine Rendite erwarten, doch sah man im Eisenbahnbau neben dem verkehrlichen Nutzen auch eine Investition, um diesen strukturschwachen Landstrich zu fördern. Am 15. November 1856 wurde von Großherzog Friedrich I. ein Gesetz unterzeichnet, das die Finanzierung von Voruntersuchungen zum Bau der Odenwaldbahn auf Staatskosten vorsah. Zudem wurde der Bau durch Privatkapital festgelegt, doch scheiterten die zwischen 1856 und 1859 geführten Verhandlungen um eine entsprechende Konzession. Ein Gesetz vom 7. Mai 1858 legte fest, dass die schwierigsten Stellen der Bahnstrecke zwischen Heidelberg und Mosbach auf Staatskosten gebaut werden konnten. Ein weiteres Gesetz vom 27. April 1860 ordnete schließlich den Bau der gesamten Bahnstrecke auf Staatskosten an. Im Februar 1859 wurde die Streckenführung für die Abschnitte Heidelberg–Schlierbach sowie Aglasterhausen–Mosbach festgelegt. Die Streckenführung für den Abschnitt Neckargemünd–Meckesheim stand im Frühjahr 1860 fest. Die Streckenführung auf dem Abschnitt Mosbach–Würzburg wurde erst im Jahr 1863 entschieden.

Neben Baden hatte auch das Königreich Bayern ein Interesse am Bau einer Eisenbahn zwischen der Kurpfalz und Unterfranken, da eine solche Eisenbahnstrecke eine Verbindung der bayerischen Kernlande unter Umgehung Württembergs mit der damals bayerischen Pfalz schuf. Allerdings wünschte man sich in Bayern eine Streckenführung entlang des Mains über Wertheim, Miltenberg, Amorbach und Eberbach, während Baden eine südlichere Streckenführung über Mosbach bevorzugte. Nach langwierigen Verhandlungen einigten sich beide Länder 1862 auf eine Streckenführung über Mosbach. Der Vertrag beinhaltete ferner den Bau einer Eisenbahnbrücke über den Rhein bei Mannheim, so dass eine direkte Eisenbahnstrecke von Würzburg in die Pfalz entstand. Für den Bau der Strecke wurde Muschelkalk-Gestein aus dem Kallenberg gebrochen.

Die Trassierung der Odenwaldbahn stellte auf dem Abschnitt zwischen Neckargemünd und Mosbach eine Besonderheit dar. Anstatt einer Streckenführung im Neckartal über Eberbach hatte man sich zugunsten einer steigungsreicheren und somit betrieblich problematischeren Führung durch das Elsenz- und Schwarzbachtal über Meckesheim und Aglasterhausen entschieden, weil zwischen Neckargemünd und Eberbach das Großherzogtum Hessen bis an den Neckar reichte, so dass eine Eisenbahnstrecke im Neckartal durch hessisches Gebiet hätte führen müssen. Eine Streckenführung über ausländisches Gebiet war jedoch nicht erwünscht.

Der Bau der Strecke von Heidelberg nach Neckargemünd wurde vom 18. April 1859 bis zum Herbst unterbrochen, da man einen Krieg befürchtete.

Die Badische Odenwaldbahn wurde in zwei Etappen eröffnet: von Heidelberg über Neckargemünd, Meckesheim, Aglasterhausen und Neckarelz nach Mosbach am 23. Oktober 1862 sowie von Mosbach nach Würzburg über Osterburken und Lauda am 25. August 1866. Der Bau der zweiten Teilstrecke hatte sich aufgrund der Gefechte bei Tauberbischofsheim während des Deutschen Krieges verzögert.

Im ersten Jahr fuhren zwischen Heidelberg und Mosbach vier Zugpaare am Tag, davon eines als beschleunigter Personenzug, der nicht in Mauer, Neidenstein, Helmstadt und Asbach, und damit zwischen Bammenthal und Neckarelz an jeder zweiten Station hielt. Hierfür wurden zwei Zuggarnituren benötigt, die Wagen der ersten (bis Oktober 1903), zweiten und dritten Klasse enthielten. In Waibstadt bestand zweimal am Tag Anschluss zu Postkutschen über Neckarbischofsheim nach Rappenau, in Neckargemünd und Meckesheim dreimal am Tag nach Eberbach bzw. Sinsheim; Zu den dortigen Zugkreuzungen – mittags in Neckargemünd, nachmittags in Meckesheim – fuhren diese weiter bis Wertheim bzw. Eppingen. Mit den Fahrpreisen von 21 Kreutzern in der dritten Klasse bis 48 Kreutzern in der ersten konnten sich Hilfsarbeiter damals eine tägliche Fahrt von Meckesheim nach Heidelberg nicht leisten.

Ab 1865 hielten alle vier Zugpaare überall, durch die Verlängerung nach Würzburg kamen jedoch weitere beschleunigte Personenzüge hinzu, die zwischen Heidelberg Hauptbahnhof und Mosbach nur in Heidelberg Carlsthor, Neckargemünd, Meckesheim, Waibstadt und Aglasterhausen hielten. Mit einem Zug von Würzburg nach Heidelberg, der ab Mosbach nur noch in Meckesheim und Heidelberg Carlsthor hielt, wurde die kürzeste Fahrzeit in dieser Richtung auf gut dreieinhalb Stunden reduziert.

Kurz nach ihrer Fertigstellung wurde die Odenwaldbahn durch zwei Stränge mit dem württembergischen Eisenbahnnetz verbunden, und zwar von Meckesheim über Sinsheim nach Bad Friedrichshall-Jagstfeld ("westliche Gabelbahn", 1868/1869 eröffnet) und von Bad Friedrichshall-Jagstfeld nach Osterburken ("östliche Gabelbahn", 1869 eröffnet). Zur Erschließung des Taubertals entstand im Anschluss an die Odenwaldbahn bereits in den Jahren 1867 bis 1869 die Taubertalbahn nach Wertheim und Bad Mergentheim.

Wegen des deutsch-französischen Kriegs fuhr vom 28. Juli 1870 bis zum 15. Oktober 1871 nur ein Personenzugpaar zu nicht-militärischen Zwecken. Es fuhren in dieser Zeit bis zu 12 Militärzüge pro Tag.

Weitere Entwicklung

Wie bereits beim Bau der Strecke erwartet worden war, entwickelte sich der Verkehr auf der Odenwaldbahn nur schwach. Sie konnte die in sie gesetzten Erwartungen sowohl in verkehrlicher als auch in strukturpolitischer Hinsicht nicht erfüllen. Allerdings ergaben sich durch die Kombination der Strecke mit daran anschließenden Bahnlinien neue Verkehrsbeziehungen, die im Laufe der Entwicklung die Bedeutung der Verbindung von Kurpfalz und Unterfranken übertrafen. Dadurch entwickelten sich auch die einzelnen Teilstrecken der Odenwaldbahn sehr unterschiedlich:

Heidelberg–Neckargemünd

Dieser Abschnitt wurde später der 1879 eröffneten Neckartalbahn Heidelberg–Bad Friedrichshall zugeordnet und dient dem Personen- und Güterverkehr zwischen der Kurpfalz und dem Großraum Stuttgart. Die Strecke ist zweigleisig ausgebaut und seit 1972 elektrifiziert. Seit 2003 ist der Abschnitt Teil der S-Bahn RheinNeckar. Mit S-Bahnen der Relationen Homburg – Kaiserslautern – Mosbach (– Osterburken) und Heidelberg – Eppingen sowie Zügen der Relationen Heidelberg – Mosbach-Neckarelz – Heilbronn und Heidelberg – Meckesheim – Heilbronn wird dieser Abschnitt im Nahverkehr sehr stark frequentiert.

Neckargemünd–Meckesheim

Betrieblich bildet dieser Abschnitt eine Einheit mit der westlichen Gabelbahn nach Bad Friedrichshall-Jagstfeld. Neben der Neckartalbahn ergibt sich dadurch eine zweite Verbindung zwischen Heidelberg und Heilbronn. Darüber hinaus verkehren Züge bis nach Eppingen. Die Strecke ist zweigleisig ausgebaut und seit 2009 elektrifiziert. S-Bahnzüge verkehren nach Eppingen (S 5) und nach Aglasterhausen (S 51).

Meckesheim–Neckarelz

Nach der Eröffnung der Neckartalbahn verlor dieser Streckenabschnitt sehr schnell an Bedeutung, da die durchgehenden Züge nun über die betrieblich günstigere Neckartalbahn geführt wurden. Von allen Teilabschnitten der Odenwaldbahn besaß dieser das geringste verkehrliche Aufkommen und wurde faktisch zur Nebenbahn degradiert.

Mit der Zerstörung der Neckarbrücke bei Obrigheim 1945 wurde der Abschnitt Meckesheim–Obrigheim zur Stichstrecke; eine Wiedererrichtung der Brücke über den Neckar scheiterte an ihrer geringen verkehrlichen Bedeutung. Da die Nachfrage zwischen Aglasterhausen und Obrigheim sehr gering und die Unterhaltung der beiden Tunnels auf diesem Abschnitt kostspielig war, wurde dieser Abschnitt 1971 stillgelegt und in der Folgezeit abgebaut. Für den Streckenabschnitt Meckesheim – Aglasterhausen, der dem Schwarzbach folgt, bürgerte sich im Volksmund der Begriff Schwarzbachtalbahn ein.

Um 1980 kündigte die Deutsche Bundesbahn an, die Strecke komplett einzustellen. Dies hätte bedeutet, dass die seit 1900 bestehende Krebsbachtalbahn, die in Neckarbischofsheim Nord abzweigt und bis nach Hüffenhardt führt, ohne Anschluss an das übrige Bahnnetz gewesen wäre. Deswegen übernahm 1982 die Südwestdeutsche Verkehrs-Aktiengesellschaft (SWEG), seit 1963 Betreiberin der Krebsbachtalbahn, auch den Betrieb zwischen Meckesheim und Aglasterhausen. Im Zuge der 2. Ausbaustufe der S-Bahn RheinNeckar wurde die Strecke im August 2009 wieder von der Deutschen Bahn übernommen, elektrifiziert und für den S-Bahnbetrieb ausgebaut. Der Personenverkehr auf der Krebsbachtalbahn wurde in diesem Zuge eingestellt, da er laut Aussage der SWEG dann nicht mehr rentabel betrieben hätte werden können. Die Linie S 51 bedient die Verbindung Heidelberg–Meckesheim–Aglasterhausen.

Neckarelz–Osterburken

Diese Teilstrecke besitzt heute nur noch regionale Bedeutung als Teil der S-Bahn RheinNeckar. Die Strecke ist zweigleisig ausgebaut und seit 1975 elektrifiziert.

Osterburken–Würzburg

Zusammen mit der Strecke Stuttgart–Heilbronn–Osterburken ergibt sich eine Verkehrsbeziehung von Stuttgart nach Würzburg und damit eine Anbindung der Regionen Stuttgart und Heilbronn an die wichtige Nord-Süd-Verbindung Würzburg–Nordseehäfen. Die Strecke ist zweigleisig ausgebaut und seit 1975 elektrifiziert.

Von allen erwähnten Teilstrecken hatte diese die wichtigste Bedeutung. Lange Zeit verkehrten Fernzüge über diesen Abschnitt. Da er jedoch sehr kurvenreich ist und somit keine allzu hohen Geschwindigkeiten erlaubt, verlor er nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg – insbesondere im Zuge des Baus von Schnellbahntrassen – an Bedeutung, sodass 2001 mit dem InterRegio Rennsteig der letzte verbliebene Fernzug eingestellt wurde. Jedoch wird die Strecke Osterburken–Würzburg weiterhin für zahlreiche Güterzüge der Nord-Süd-Relation genutzt. Der Nahverkehr hatte eine eher untergeordnete Bedeutung. So wurden in den 1970er Jahren zwischen Osterburken und Königshofen aufgrund der dünnen Besiedlung zeitweise alle Bahnhöfe aufgegeben. Ab der Jahrtausendwende wurden einige von ihnen zwar reaktiviert, wurden bis 2019 werktags jedoch nur von einigen wenigen Regionalbahnen bedient, wie beispielsweise die für den Schülerverkehr bedeutenden Stationen Rosenberg (Baden), Eubigheim und Boxberg/Wölchingen. Seit Dezember 2019 werden jene Halte werktags stündlich von DB Regio Bayern bedient.

I know this probably should have been posted in the morning, but I was beyond tired from my long haul waking up super early yesterday. Since I was up so super early yesterday my body decided to get up that early again this morning when I didn't need too. My apologies for not having this up or coming back to write my blessings for Day 10 yesterday. Day 10's blessings are up, in case you came to view it yesterday. And that's that, so here is today's task, which will have to be done tomorrow morning.
- When you wake up to the new day, before you do a single thing, say the magic words, thank you.
- From the moment you open your eyes until you've finished getting ready, say the magic words, thank you, in your mind for everything you touch and use.
3. I am truly grateful for a washer and dryer for my clothes, because I don't have to wash it by hand.
4. With all my heart, thank you for the extra 3 hours of sleep I got to have after waking up at 4 am, because I was still really tired.
5. I am so happy and grateful for all the different blogs related to fashion, because I have something to view on a regular basis or spare time.
6. I am truly blessed to have sidewalks to walk on, because it provides a nice guidance to travel on.
7. I am truly grateful for youtube, because I can so easily look up something I am not sure how to do or just to view things that interest me.
8. I am so happy and grateful for completing my task today at work before I left, because that was my goal and I managed to complete it!
9. With all my heart, thank you for the lovely shorts that I got today, because I have been looking for shorts for summer when it gets warmer out/hotter!
10. With all my heart, thank you for all the beautiful lyrics to music that I listen to, because they can provide a feeling inside that I am not able to describe so profoundly.

Read the passage and do the task that follows
American Sign Language (ASL), which is the first language of many deaf people in North America, uses hand gestures, facial expressions, and other body movements to communicate. ASL is one of the four most commonly used languages in the United States.
ASL was first introduced to America in 1817. In that year, a French teacher who came to America to teach brought with him the French Sign Language (FSL) and taught it to his deaf students. The students then added their own American signing and changed FSL into ASL. Modern FSL and ASL share some elements, including a large amount of vocabulary. However, an ASL user can not understand a FSL user.
No form of sign language is universal. For example, British Sign Language (BSL) differs notably from ASL. Different sign languages are used in different countries or regions.

Q: Geometric mean of k smallest eigenvalues. This problem comes from S. Boyd's Convex Optimization, problem 3.26(b). It states that the geometric mean of $k$ smallest eigenvalues of a positive definite matrix $X$ satisfies the following condition:
$$\left(\prod_{i=n-k+1}^n\lambda_i(X)\right)^{1/k}=\frac{1}{k}\inf\{\mathbf{tr}(V^TXV)|V\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times k}, \text{det}V^TV=1\}$$
I thought of this as a consequence of the AM-GM Inequality, since it is known that
$$\left(\prod_{i=n-k+1}^n\lambda_i(X)\right)^{1/k}=\left(\inf\{\prod_{i=1}^{k}(V^TXV)_{ii}|V\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times k}, V^TV=I\}\right)^{1/k}$$
but how does the condition "$V^TV=I$" become "det$V^TV=1$"?

Microsoft Corp. unveiled several new versions of its Surface devices, including a new laptop and an update to its Surface Pro hybrid laptop and tablet, freshening up the company's hardware lineup.
The new Surface Laptop 3 will have an aluminum exterior finish, "instant on" and a bigger trackpad. The device will be available with a 15-inch screen and fast charging, Microsoft Chief Product Officer Panos Panay said at the company's annual fall hardware event in New York Wednesday. Panay said the product is three times more powerful than Apple Inc.'s Macbook Air. The devices can be pre-ordered Wednesday and will be available Oct. 22 at US$999 for the 13-inch and US$1,199 for the 15-inch.

Microsoft relies on its Surface devices to boost sales as well as show off its software and attract customers to its family of products. Many of the devices are well reviewed, though Microsoft lags Apple and other hardware vendors in popularity. The Redmond, Washington-based company held a 3.6 per cent share of the worldwide tablet market in the second quarter of this year, making Microsoft the No. 6 vendor with shipments of nearly 1.2 million units, according to IDC. That represents growth of 48 per cent compared with a year earlier. Apple by comparison was No. 1 in the market with a 38 per cent share.

Microsoft's device revenue topped US$6 billion in the year that ended June 30, including Surface units and PC accessories, according to its annual filing. The company uses the devices to attract corporate users to its hardware and programs, while Apple dominates the consumer part of the market, according to Daniel Ives, an analyst at Wedbush Securities. Still, he noted, some investors continue to question the wisdom of the hardware investments, especially after early failures led to a write down in 2013, and a sales shortfall in 2017.
"Surface represents the tip of the spear of the broader Microsoft ecosystem as Microsoft still needs a horse in the race on next generation consumer hardware and devices," Ives said. "While some investors continue to question this investment as good money going after bad endeavours on Surface, we strongly disagree as this remains a mind and market share strategic gamble."

From the first days of January, mid-winter 2013 has been long and cheerless, made harder by the loss of old wine friends - Frank Prial, John Radford, and mostly recently the beloved Henri Krug, a mentor to me in the early1990s. So I am doubly grateful for an interlude, an epicurean experience that was quite unexpected. Out of the blue, a week ago I was asked to Sunday lunch by Francis and Bronwen Percival at their flat over the Neal Street Dairy, where Bronwen is the authoritative cheese buyer. I've admired Francis as a food writer for some time, his column in Fine Wine giving me something to think about and always penned with wit, erudition and passion. One knew the couple were fine cooks, but boy was I blown away by the lunch and its theme - cheese, cuisine and wines (especially) from Europe vis-a-vis California. Its conception reflected the couple's merged background and studies: Francis, after Cambridge working at the cutting edge of the British culinary revival; Bronwen, the daughter of a Californian musicologist, going to college at Wellesley near Boston, where she studied biochemistry, so she would later have a head start when thinking about starting yeasts for cheese-making.
With these, two cracking growers' champagnes in 2002. Pascal Doquet's Mesnil was just plain delicious, with a purity of ripe peach and apple fruitiness typical of the lower slopes of the village. Eric Rodez's Ambonnay was something else, an exceptional expression of (mainly) great Pinot Noir, which when it hits the spot in a perfect terroir and vintage has no peer for flavour and complexity. Ravioli of boudin noir and Kirkham's Lancashire in a sleek wine-blessed sauce was the best pasta I've tasted for months, the flavour contrasts of wines from the Santa Cruz mountains and those of the Jura so marked and fascinating. The hedonism and patisserie -like aromas of Ridge's Montebello Chardonnay 2004 added to its rich vein of sunny Santa Cruz fruit made a riveting comparison with Benedict & Stephane Tissier Arbois Chardonnay 'Les Graviers' 2010, the tenacity of the rugged stony Jurassien terroir making its presence felt in every corner of the wine.
The centrepiece of lunch was the seven-hour slow roasted shoulder of lamb, easing from the bone with a gentle touch of a spoon and so succulent, served with gratin dauphinois. The two wines were very different. The Montus Madiran, 'La Tyre' 2000 from south west France was an imposing rich mouthful, a little international in style for my taste and Cathy Corison's lovely Napa Cabernet Sauvignon1998, so open, friendly and elegant that it quite won my heart. I think this is enough for the natural length of a post. More, another day, about the dessert wine from Kracher, with pudding. A big thank you, Bronwen & Francis.

From Bine To Brew In Under One Hour
Portland, Ore. – September 24, 2015 – For the crew at BridgePort Brewing Company, Oregon's oldest craft brewery, early fall is their favorite time of year. It's only then that they get to drive to the hop fields of the Willamette Valley to collect fresh Oregon aroma hops to make the annual special treat, Hop Harvest fresh hop ale. In under an hour, hops from Sodbuster Farms in Salem, Ore. are picked and added to the brew, ensuring an extremely fresh hopped IPA.
"Getting those fresh green hops into the beer as quickly as possible ensures that fresh hop flavor that we all love this time of year," commented Jeff Edgerton, Brewmaster of BridgePort Brewing Company. "For 2015, we've brewed a classic IPA style beer and infused it with more than 250lbs of fresh Crystal hops per brew; giving the brew a soft citrus aroma and flavor unlike anything you can get from dried hops."
BridgePort uses a simple process to give this seasonal, limited-release beer the freshest hop flavor. First, the beer is brewed, then at the end of fermentation and immediately after the hops are delivered, the freshly fermented beer is poured straight over the green Crystal hops, capturing that fresh, local flavor. Hop Harvest 2015 will be available on draft and in 22 oz. bottles at BridgePort's BrewPub and participating retailers.

Summer only recently ended, which means of course it's time for decorative sweaters, holiday shopping, and winter seasonals. But not in Astoria, not at Fort George. The brewers know that you can't rush a good beer. And while pumpkin beers seem to somehow hit the shelves earlier and earlier, Fort George Brewery and Organically Grown Company are just getting started - here's why.
Squash Buckler begins with the gathering of the fresh crop of sugar pumpkins by Organically Grown Company and their community of local farms, sometime around early September. Whole pumpkins are then sliced and diced, roasted in the Fort George wood-fired oven to caramelize the sugars, and then placed in the boil of this autumn seasonal. There are no additional flavorings or spices. Squash Buckler simply packs rich organic malts and fire-roasted pumpkin into a deep amber ale.
Be the first to get bottles of Squash Buckler on Wednesday, September 30th in Astoria, also known as #BurgerWednesday at Fort George Brewery. The kitchen is preparing a special pairing of wood-fired elk burgers topped with a chanterelle mushroom & onion confit, basil aioli, and served on a fresh brioche bun with a side of fire-roasted seasonal vegetables.
Squash Buckler in 22-oz bottles and draft will be available in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho starting Thursday October 1st. Get it quickly - this small-batch release won't last long. Fort George beer is distributed only in the Pacific Northwest.
Slow down and enjoy the bountiful harvest that the Pacific Northwest provides, and brews.. For more information about employee and grower owned Organically Grown Company check their website at www.organicgrown.com.

Oskar Blues Heading To Austin, Texas
Courtsey of Oskar Blues Brewery
Longmont, CO & Brevard, NC -- Funky little Oskar Blues Grill & Brew started just under 18 years ago when Dale Katechis and his high school sweet-heart stumbled across the small town of Lyons, Colorado while on a road trip north from their home in Alabama. In 2012, that Rocky Mountain trip continued east as Oskar Blues Brewery expanded to a second home in the rolling hills of Pisgah National Forest of Brevard, North Carolina. Now, Dale and Oskar Blues are heading south to Austin, Texas, the Live Music Capital of the World, as another place to call home.
Oskar Blues, named "The hottest place to be on a Saturday night in Colorado" by Rolling Stone because of its roots in the Colorado music scene, will open a brewery and taproom in Austin, TX by April 20, 2016. The brewery will continue its tradition of soul-savin' live music with a music venue as part of the taproom.
"North Carolina and Colorado are filled with amazing communities and experiences mingled with live music and Fuh-CAN great craft beer scenes. The passion and rebellious nature of Austin locals, along with the food, craft beer and live music scenes create a vibe that already feels like home," says soul-founder Dale Katechis.
The brewery secured a 50,000 square foot brewery space including a 5,000 square foot taproom/music venue location at 10420 Metric Boulevard. Oskar Blues will brew the full line up of cans and draft with an initial capacity of 30,000 BBLs per year with potential build out capacity exceeding 100,000 BBLs.
"We continue to look at options to grow our brewery to the next level and the experience of opening a smaller, intimate taproom and brewery on a grassroots level in Brevard was a hell of a lot of fun. As we grow it's important to find ways to stay small, engaged and intimate within the communities we want to spend our time in," says Dale.
Oskar Blues is known as the first craft brewery in the country to brew and hand-can their beer which began in November 2002. Since then, Oskar Blues has continued explosive growth and is regarded as one of the fastest growing breweries in the country. In 2015, Oskar Blues earned a position in the top half of the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies in America for the fifth year in a row and is ranked number 24 on the Brewers Association Top 50 Breweries list.
As the brewery and Colorado restaurants have been blessed with growth, Oskar Blues also works hard to keep that hands-on, grassroots feel by kicking off small projects like The Crowler, B Stiff & Sons Old Fashioned Root Beer, Hotbox Coffee Roasters, North Carolina's REEB Ranch and handmade mountain bikes with REEB Cycles.

About Oskar Blues Brewery
Founded by Dale Katechis in 1997 in Lyons, Colorado, Oskar Blues Brewery launched the craft beer-in-a-can apocalypse with hand-canned, flagship brew Dale's Pale Ale.

Ghost Runners Brewery Releases Performance Rye Pale Ale
Courtesy of Ghost Runners Brewery
VANCOUVER, WASHINGTON September 24, 2015 - Ghost Runners Brewery presents Performance Rye PA, an artisan craft beer delivering a Northwest Pale Ale in a rye way. Performance is named for runners and athletes who always seek their best effort and take pride in a job well done.
Performance Rye PA is a Northwest style Rye Pale Ale that begins with a subtle blackcurrant nose and a medium bodied honey-bread mouth feel and progresses to a semi-dry finish. Rye makes up 20% of the grain bill with Marris Otter, Munich, and Canadian Honey malts added to deliver a complex, multidimensional experience. Enhancing the malted rye characteristics, UK Magnum hops are utilized in the first wort to create a gentle roundness to the hop profile. The hop progression is continued with Warrior, Galena, and Chinook.
"We brewed this beer with rye because of it's subtle but unique characteristics," explains brewer and founder Jeff Seibel. "Rye enhances the beer by adding another layer to the taste experience, which fits with what we strive for - a balanced and expressive beer experience."
Performance Rye PA will be available in the Ghost Runners Brewery tap room at 4216 NE Minnehaha St, Ste. 108 in Vancouver, WA beginning Thursday September 24th.

Redhook Brewery's Seasonal Favorite Winterhook Returns For 31st Year
SEATTLE, WASH – For the 31st straight year, Redhook is celebrating the return of colder days and even colder nights with its latest release of long-time seasonal favorite Winterhook. Continuing its tradition of bringing a little holiday variety to this winter warmer, Redhook has once again riffed on the beer's recipe to create Winterhook #31.
Winterhook #31 is a dark mahogany, full-bodied beer with an aroma of roasted malt and a touch of coffee. This year's brew features a subtle spiciness from the rye malt and dark stone fruit flavors from the yeast, for the perfect finish.
"The real trick with a beer like this is delivering the ideal beer balance by providing a really nice, full malt flavor without being overwhelming," said Redhook Innovation Brewer Nick Crandall. "Striking this balance makes Winterhook #31 the perfect beer to enjoy after a day of raking up leaves, hitting the slopes or camping out on your sofa watching sports highlights with your dogs."
At 31 years young, Winterhook is one of the longest running beers in the Redhook portfolio, and it continues to satisfy wintertime thirsts year-after-year. Winterhook returns this year along with its fan-favorite ugly sweater coozies, to keep that beer hand warm and ready for the next snowball fight.
Winterhook #31 hits the shelves in 12-ounce bottles on October 5, in six packs, 12 packs and as part of Redhook's "Foursome" variety 12 pack. The beer is also available on tap. Check out the Redhook beer finder: Redhook.com/find-beer to locate some Winterhook near you. 6.0% ABV, 45 IBU.

About Redhook
Redhook was born out of the energy and spirit of the early 1980s in the heart of Seattle. While the term didn't exist at the time, Redhook became one of America's first "craft" breweries. From a modest start in a former transmission shop in the Seattle neighborhood of Ballard, to the current breweries in Woodinville, Wash., and Portsmouth, N.H., Redhook has become one of America's most recognized craft breweries.
While Redhook has "grown up" over the past 30 years, one thing has never changed — Redhook is still brewing great beers like ESB, Longhammer IPA, Audible Pale Ale and a variety of seasonal beers. Most importantly, Redhook has fun doing it. Redhook beers are available both on draught and in bottles around the country. For more information, visit www.redhook.com.

GABF Gold medal for Shanghai'd IPA is among the most coveted awards in the brewing industry
Portland, Ore. Sept. 26, 2015 — Old Town Brewing ® (OTB®), claimed a gold medal at the 2015 Great American Beer Festival (GABF) competition. Presented by the Brewers Association, GABF is the largest national beer competition that recognizes the most outstanding beers produced in the United States. The top three winners in the competition's 90 beer-style categories were announced September 26 at the Great American Beer Festival awards ceremony held at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, Colorado.
"This has been an incredible year for Old Town, from debuting in bottles, to our offbeat, noteworthy mushroom ale, this award is an amazing culmination of all our hard work, and we're incredibly honored," said Adam Milne, owner of Old Town Brewing Co. "We are thrilled to be a part of GABF, representing the Oregon brew scene and celebrating with our industry colleagues, and couldn't be more pleased with our success at this year's festival."
OTB was recognized in the English-Style India Pale Ale category for its Shanghai'd IPA. A nod to Old Town's most storied history, this is a medium-bodied IPA with grapefruit, resinous and piney hop aroma and flavors balanced by a touch of malt sweetness. OTB is a 7-barrel brewpub located in Portland, Ore. whose high-quality, craft beer is inspired by Pacific Northwest's unique ingredients, spirit and culture. A reflection of its surroundings, OTB creates a fundamentally Portland beer drinking experience for its consumers. The brewery began selling its award winning beers in bottles across Oregon in 2015, making its exceptional brews available to even more of Oregon's craft beer enthusiasts.
The 2015 GABF competition winners were selected by an international panel of 222 expert judges from the record number of over 6,700 entries, plus 89 Pro-Am entries, received from 1,309 U.S. breweries.
"Once again the Great American Beer Festival brings the best of the best together in one place," said Chris Swersey, competition manager. "At a time when American brewers offer so much variety, it's a true honor to be recognized as one of the finest. Our greatest gratitude to the winners and all entrants whose innovative and outstanding beers help make this such an esteemed competition."

Off To GABF!
We're off to Denver today for our first ever Great American Beer Festival! Since it's our first time, we're not heavily scheduling ourselves into events, preferring to figure out on the fly what looks the most fun. With about 3500 beers to choose from and a multitude of organized beer tastings, product demos, and educational sessions there will be no shortage of options! Honestly, there's so much to do it's a little overwhelming for us GABF newbies. But, we did schedule a breakfast with Sam Adams and a tour of Denver's breweries so look for updates on those events over the next couple of days.
We're looking forward to getting our hands on hard-to-come-by favorites; Emily is looking forward to Crooked Stave's release of Mama Bear's Sour Cherry Pie as well as Bruery Terreux's samples. Adam is more into trying new stuff we normally couldn't get around the Portland, Oregon area. We think we'll probably spend the most time trying new beers from regions of the country we haven't visited, and probably won't focus too much on Pacific Northwest beers since that's our home turf.
Be sure to follow us on social media to see what we're up to! On Twitter, we're @freshpints and @emstater, and on Instagram we're @freshpints and @mrsfreshpints.

Not only will there be a huge selection of Deschutes Brewery beers flowing from the Street Pub's multitude of taps, but there will be great food to pair with it. Deschutes Brewery's corporate executive chef, Jeff Usinowicz, will be teaming up with local Denver chefs Jake Grant of Euclid Hall and Carrie Baird of Brazen to create some dishes that complement the many beers being served (think everything from the easy-drinking Mirror Pond Pale Ale all the way to the big and bold flavors of The Abyss).
This family-friendly event will also feature activities for the kids, special samplings and an amazing live, local music lineup that includes Red Fox Run, The Outliers, Emily Clark & The Passing Fancy, and headlining act Fox Street.
Deschutes Brewery Street Pub's grand opening is also its final night, so make sure to be there for this one day only event!
When: Saturday, October 17th, 2-10pm
Where: Downtown Denver: 21st Street from Blake to Larimer

Breakside Brewery Announces New Coo And Brewery Staff
Courtesy of Breakside Brewery
9/22/2015 Portland & Milwaukie, OR - Breakside Brewery is pleased to announce three major staff changes and hires, including our first ever Chief Operations Officer Ray Veillet, new R & D brewer Will Jaquiss, and new Lead Brewer Nick Munson-Phelps. All three exemplify the standards set forth by Breakside in continuing to push creative boundaries, personal growth, and award winning beers. Breakside is excited to announce our new important players before heading off to this week's Great American Beer Festival in Denver, Colorado, which will see our brewing team pouring beers from the convention center floor and attempting to follow-up our gold and silver medal wins in 2014.*
Courtesy of Breakside Brewing Co
Breakside's new COO, Ray Veillet, joins Breakside after several decades spent as a lawyer and executive in the corporate world. Prior to joining Breakside he was VP of Operations for Siteworks Design Build and President of PicoJet Inc. He brings a wealth of accounting, legal, and finance experience to Breakside. He holds a Bachelor's Degree from the University of Oregon and a law degree (JD) from Willamette University.
"I was drawn to Breakside because of its unlimited growth potential. Its dedication to creativity and experimentation have already earned it a reputation as one of the best breweries in the state. I'm just excited to contribute to its future," said Veillet, commenting on why he was excited to join the company.
Will Jaquiss (cousin of Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Nigel Jaquiss) has been with Breakside for 2 years, where he has shown himself to be a passionate and integral part of the brewing team. Though young at only age 28, Will is a graduate of the prestigious Siebel Brewing Institute in Chicago and has been promoted to Breakside's Research and Development brewer. Jaquiss will handle brewing operations including scheduling and recipe development at Breakside's Dekum pub, as well as managing the barrel program and brewing on the 30bbl brewhouse in Milwaukie.
An exciting new addition to the Breakside brewing team came on board in late August with Nick Munson-Phelps. Munson-Phelps moved to Portland to brew beer. He started in the craft beverage industry at Clear Creek Distillery. In 2009 he attended the Siebel/Doemens program and then began as a cellarman at Pyramid Brewery. In 2010, he became a brewer at Laurelwood, producing 4 GABF medal-winning beers. After spending the last several years as a sales guy for specialty chemical sanitation company Wesmar, he is excited to be returning to brewing. Munson-Phelps said, "I am so thrilled to work alongside such a talented team at my favorite brewery. I couldn't imagine a more perfect setting to create beers to be proud of. Looking forward to growth, creativity, and lots of fun."
Munson-Phelps will be joining the staff as Breakside's new Lead Brewer. The position calls for him to be responsible for a number of administrative aspects of raw materials procurement and wort production in addition to regular brewing duties.
About Breakside Brewery:
Opened in 2010 in the quiet Woodlawn neighborhood of Northeast Portland as a restaurant and nano-sized brewery, Breakside expanded to a 3.5 BBL brewhouse while winning their first medal at the Great American Beer Festival in 2011 where they have earned medals each year since. In late 2013 the brewery expanded operations to Milwaukie, Oregon with a 30BBL production brewery filled with 60 and 120BBL tanks, barrel rooms for wild and non-wild/sour fermentation's and a 20 tap tasting room. In 2014 Breakside was awarded with the highly coveted Gold Medal for American-style IPA at the Great American Beer Festival for their flagship IPA that was also named to Men's Journals 100 Best Beers In The World and Sip Northwest's Best IPA in the Northwest. Breakside is also known for their experimental, barrel-aged and sour beers like Bourbon Barrel-Aged Aztec a strong amber ale with chocolate and chilies that won Bronze at both Chicago's Festival of Barrel-Aged Beers and Best of Craft Beer Awards and Passionfruit Sour a berliner-weisse style beer that earned a Bronze at the 2013 GABF.
Breakside Beers are available on draft and in 22oz bottles in Oregon, Seattle-Washington area, Denver, Hawaii and British Columbia. 2015 expansion plans include introducing 6-packs of 12oz bottles and more specialty bottles and sour beers. Visit www.breakside.com for more info.

Read reviews published in journals in your research area. Reading reviews written by experts will give you a good idea of how to use the literature to provide background to your research question and support your hypothesis. You'll often find the literature review in the introduction section of a journal article.
On this page, we'll explore how you can use the literature to show you can do all these things.
In the activity below, you'll examine how one author has used the literature to introduce and support his research. The review in this activity was published in an economics journal, but it doesn't matter what the review is about - it's how the author uses the literature that interests us.
How does the author use the literature to provide the background (set the scene) for his study?
How does he use the literature to support his hypothesis?
How does he use the literature to show that his research is important and relevant?
Does he include any studies that disagree with his hypothesis?
2. When you've answered the questions, take a look at the discussion at the end of the course.
3. Do you agree with our observations on how this author uses the literature? You may have noted different things, but the important thing is that you're starting to see how the literature can be used to set the scene and justify your research.
The main activity with which fraternities are associated is alcohol use. Fraternities often connote a culture of drunkenness, as famously portrayed in the movie Animal House. Anecdotal evidence of problem drinking at fraternity events abounds. Data confirm that fraternity members drink more intensively than do non-members. In the NCHRBS, past month binge drinking, defined as consuming at least five alcoholic beverages within a few hours, was reported by 69% of fraternity members as compared with 42% of non-members.3 Analyses of data from the CAS (Chaloupka and Wechsler, 1996) and the Core Alcohol and Drug Survey ([Alva, 1998] and [Cashin et al., 1998]) have similarly documented that fraternity members drink more frequently and heavily than do their non-member peers.
It is tempting to assume that fraternity membership is the reason that fraternity members drink more excessively than do non-members. But does fraternity membership truly cause binge drinking? Specifically, would the incidence or frequency of binge drinking among students who join fraternities decline in the absence of fraternities? That is the question this study addresses. College student binge drinking is a concern because it is associated with many behaviors that are harmful, particularly to others. These include drunken driving (Hingson et al., 2003b), violence (Wechsler et al., 1995), vandalism and related disturbances (Wechsler et al., 2002), sexual activity that is forced (Mohler-Kuo et al., 2004) or risky (Hingson et al., 2003a), and reduced academic performance (Kremer and Levy, 2003). Efforts that most effectively limit external binge drinking effects depend in part on whether fraternities increase binge drinking.
Students who join fraternities presumably perceive that membership will facilitate desired binge drinking by matching them with students who share these preferences. For example, Sacerdote (2001) found that high school drinkers in the Dartmouth senior classes of 1997 and 1998 were more likely to join a fraternity than were other classmates. Baer et al. (1995), Schall et al. (1992) and Wechsler et al. (1996) obtain similar evidence and report that among students who drank in high school, those who joined fraternities were more likely to have binge drank.
If self-selection of binge drinkers into fraternities is responsible for the correlation between drinking and fraternity membership, members would binge drink even if fraternities did not exist, and binge drinking therefore cannot be attributed to membership. In contrast, Borsari and Carey (1999) outline three ways in which fraternity membership might increase binge drinking. One is by applying social pressure to drink in order to gain acceptance among fellow members. Another is by elevating perceptions of peer drinking norms, which college students already tend to overestimate. The third is by providing an environment that makes alcohol readily available and is insulated from students less tolerant of binge drinking. Consistent with this, Lo and Globetti (1995) find that students who do not previously binge drink are three times more likely to start doing so if they join a fraternity. Also, Sher et al. (2001) estimate that fraternity members drank more heavily than non-members during college, even controlling for previous alcohol use, but that this discrepancy disappeared within 3 years after college.
The first paragraph establishes a link between fraternity membership and binge drinking by using evidence from the literature. This is 'scene-setting' for the research hypothesis.
It is tempting to assume that fraternity membership is the reason that fraternity members drink more excessively than do non-members. But does fraternity membership truly cause binge drinking? Specifically, would the incidence or frequency of binge drinking among students who join fraternities decline in the absence of fraternities? That is the question this study addresses.
This paragraph introduces the research hypothesis: the author is going to demonstrate that fraternity membership causes binge drinking.
College student binge drinking is a concern because it is associated with many behaviors that are harmful, particularly to others. These include drunken driving (Hingson et al., 2003b), violence (Wechsler et al., 1995), vandalism and related disturbances (Wechsler et al., 2002), sexual activity that is forced (Mohler-Kuo et al., 2004) or risky (Hingson et al., 2003a), and reduced academic performance (Kremer and Levy, 2003). Efforts that most effectively limit external binge drinking effects depend in part on whether fraternities increase binge drinking.
This paragraph explains why this study is relevant and important. The author uses the literature to demonstrate the damage done by binge drinking at college.
The author has included literature that refutes his hypothesis. These studies suggest that binge drinkers are more likely to join fraternities; therefore, fraternity membership does not cause binge drinking.
The literature in this paragraph supports the author's hypothesis, and he includes several studies to justify the direction of his research.
set the scene - what is the issue?
Note also that he doesn't simply list the literature he uses. Instead he uses them to reinforce his points and illustrate his ideas.
It's worth repeating that the more literature reviews you read, the better you'll become at using the literature in your own review - so get reading.

Sense Theatre is hoping to tour their show to local schools. The show will explore issues such as cyber bullying, sexting and peer pressure. Lauren says; 'the show will be fully interactive and the young people in the audience will have the chance to get up on stage and solve some of the problems the characters face, it's a great opportunity to get the message out there.' The first step for this project is to start thoroughly researching topics for the performance. They are hoping to speak to psychologists, doctors, counsellors, teachers and parents who have any experience with cyber bullying.
Sense Theatre already runs after school clubs in thirty primary schools across Surrey and the South East and teaches drama to 1000 children each week. The aim of Sense Theatre is to enhance children's confidence, self-esteem and team work skills through fun and engaging performing arts activities. In addition to the fantastic educational work they do, they also run themed children's parties every weekend, making children's birthdays extra special. The Cyber Bullying show marks the next step in an already thriving company.
I've been meaning to say thank you for the wonderful time Emma had during the summer with you as well. (Although we have watched Annie rather a lot now…!). She was full of songs and dance and obviously had a great time.

Spurs hire league's first full-time female assistant coach

(Reuters) – The reigning National Basketball Association champion San Antonio Spurs named long-time WNBA star Becky Hammon as the first full-time female assistant coach in league history on Tuesday.
Hammon, 37, is a six-time WNBA All-Star who has spent the last eight seasons with the San Antonio Stars, from which she will soon retire.
"In some ways it is trailblazing, but there have been so many other women that are doing really, really great things and I am just kind of following in their path," Hammon said.
Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich said in a statement: "I'm confident that her basketball IQ, work ethic, and interpersonal skills will be a great benefit for the Spurs."
There have been women head coaches in the NBA Development and summer leagues, and Lisa Boyer was a part-time member of the Cleveland Cavaliers' coaching staff during the 2001-02 NBA season, according to the Spurs.
Named one of the WNBA's Top 15 Players of All-Time in July of 2011, Hammon ranks seventh in WNBA history in points (with 5,809), fourth in assists (1,687) and sixth in games (445), the Spurs said.

NBA roundup: Popovich ties for 3rd on wins list
UNTV News • January 9, 2019
FILE PHOTO – May 7, 2017; Houston, TX, USA; San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich looks up during the second quarter against the Houston Rockets in game four of the second round of the 2017 NBA Playoffs at Toyota Center. Mandatory Credit: Troy Taormina-USA TODAY Sports
DeMar DeRozan had 26 points, nine assists and seven rebounds and Gregg Popovich continued his climb up the NBA's career wins list as the visiting San Antonio Spurs defeated the Detroit Pistons 119-107 on Monday.
Popovich earned the 1,221st victory of his career, tying him with Jerry Sloan for third on the NBA's all-time list among coaches. The 23rd-year Spurs coach trails only Don Nelson (1,335) and Lenny Wilkens (1,332).
San Antonio dominated the last three quarters after falling behind early. Just as they did against the Utah Jazz on Saturday, the Pistons got off to a good start, jumping out to a 21-9 lead with 4:55 remaining in the first quarter.
LaMarcus Aldridge scored 25 points on 9-of-12 shooting for the Spurs, who have won five straight and six of their last seven. Blake Griffin had 34 points and eight assists, and Andre Drummond had 19 points and 14 rebounds in defeat for the Pistons, who have lost five of six.
Rockets 125, Nuggets 113
James Harden produced another sparkling double-double but this time received plenty of help as Houston extended its home-court winning streak to 10 games with a victory over Western Conference-leading Denver.
Harden paired 32 points with 14 assists. The Rockets also received a career-high 31 points from center Clint Capela (plus nine rebounds) and 21 points apiece from P.J. Tucker and Gerald Green. The Rockets bounced back after having their six-game win streak end Saturday against the Trail Blazers.
Houston finished 22 of 47 from behind the arc to outflank the Nuggets, who had a five-game winning streak snapped and lost to the Rockets for the second time this season. Nikola Jokic paced Denver with 24 points and 13 rebounds.
Celtics 116, Nets 95
Marcus Smart drained 3-pointers on consecutive possessions in the first quarter to begin a game-changing run by host Boston, which went on to beat Brooklyn.
The Celtics have won three straight and four of five. The Nets, who were trying to reach .500 beyond the midway point of the season for the first time since the 2013-14 campaign, had a three-game winning streak snapped and lost for just the fourth time in the last 16 games.
Kylie Irving, who returned after missing two games with a left eye injury, scored 17 points to lead a balanced Celtics attack. Seven other players scored in double figures for Boston. Rookie Rodions Kurucs scored 24 points and drained five 3-pointers for the Nets.
Bucks 114, Jazz 102
Giannis Antetokounmpo recorded 30 points and 10 rebounds to help Milwaukee register a win over visiting Utah.
Malcolm Brogdon added 21 points for the Bucks, who won for the 10th time in their past 12 games. Brook Lopez contributed 15 points and eight rebounds, Thon Maker also scored 15 and Khris Middleton had 14 points and seven rebounds.
Donovan Mitchell scored 26 points for the Jazz but missed all five shots while going scoreless in the fourth quarter. Rudy Gobert added 14 points and 15 rebounds.
Lakers 107, Mavericks 97
Los Angeles put together a dominant third quarter to rally from a 15-point deficit and win at Dallas.
Brandon Ingram scored a season-high 29 points, Lonzo Ball had 21 and Michael Beasley, with 13 points, was key contributor in a third quarter the Lakers won 32-13. Los Angeles earned just its second victory in seven games playing without injured star LeBron James.
Mavs rookie Luka Doncic finished with a team-high 27 points and grabbed eight rebounds.
Pelicans 114, Grizzlies 95
Anthony Davis had 36 points and 13 rebounds as host New Orleans defeated Memphis. The Pelicans, who handed the Cavaliers their ninth consecutive loss on Saturday in Cleveland, gave the Grizzlies their sixth consecutive loss.
The Pelicans last won consecutive games during a three-game winning streak from Nov. 16-19. Memphis dropped to 3-13 since a 107-103 victory against the host Pelicans on Dec. 7.
Frank Jackson came off the bench to add 17 points for the Pelicans. Mike Conley led Memphis with 22 points and 10 assists, JaMychal Green came off the Grizzlies' bench to score 16.
Kings 111, Magic 95
De'Aaron Fox led a balanced attack with 20 points as host Sacramento followed up a record-setting shooting performance with one of its best defensive efforts of the season in a victory over travel-weary Orlando.
The Kings limited the Magic to 36.8 percent shooting and the third-lowest scoring output for a Sacramento opponent this season en route to their second straight season-series sweep of Orlando.
Terrence Ross came off the bench to score 20 points for the Magic, who were playing their fifth straight on the road and second in two days, having lost to the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday.
Trail Blazers 111, Knicks 101
Jusuf Nurkic scored 20 points to lead six Trail Blazers in double figures as Portland swept to a victory over visiting New York.
CJ McCollum and Damian Lillard both added 17 points, and Lillard had nine assists for the Trail Blazers, who won for the ninth time in 13 games. Seth Curry scored 13 points, and Jake Layman and Evan Turner had 10 apiece for Portland.
Enes Kanter came off the bench for 18 points and 14 rebounds, Emmanuel Mudiay scored 17 points, and Noah Vonleh contributed 16 points and 14 boards for the Knicks, who have lost in 14 of their past 16 outings.

Spurs coach Popovich rips Pachulia for injuring Leonard
UNTV News • May 16, 2017
(The Sports Xchange) – San Antonio star forward Kawhi Leonard will miss Tuesday night's Game 2 of the Western Conference finals at the Kawhi Leonard, leaving Spurs coach Gregg Popovich irate over what he felt was an avoidable injury.
Popovich lashed out at Warriors center Zaza Pachulia for his defense on Leonard, telling reporters Monday that the play was "dangerous" and "unsportsmanlike" and citing a past pattern of such play by Pachulia.
Leonard aggravated his left ankle injury on Sunday in Game One of the best-of-seven series when he landed on Pachulia's foot after taking a jump shot early in the third quarter.
San Antonio held a 23-point lead at the time of the injury but couldn't hold of a furious comeback without its best player and dropped a 113-111 decision.
"Lead with your foot close-out is not appropriate. It's dangerous, it's unsportsmanlike, it's just not what anybody does to anybody else," Popovich fumed. "And this particular individual has a history with that kind of action. … A totally unnatural close-out that the league has outlawed years ago and pays great attention to it.
"We've had a pretty damn good season. We've played fairly well in the playoffs … and we're up 23 points in the third quarter against Golden State, and Kawhi goes down like that. And you want to know if our chances are less? And you want to know how we feel? That's how we feel."
Pachulia took exception with Popovich's assertion that his defensive closeout on Leonard was "dangerous" and "unsportsmanlike."
"My approach to this game for 14 years that I've been in the league is to play hard and (give) 100 percent of whatever I have," Pachulia said on Monday. "So, I don't agree with the calls that I'm a dirty player. I'm not a dirty player. I love this game and I'm playing hard. That's what I was taught since Day One."
Leonard injured the same ankle in Game Five of the Western semifinals on Tuesday and sat out Game Six against the Houston Rockets on Thursday. He had 26 points and eight rebounds in just 24 minutes of action.
The All-Star small forward scored a game-high 18 points in the first half as the Spurs stunned the top-seeded Warriors with a 62-42 start.
But Leonard tweaked the ankle when he stepped back into the Spurs' bench while attempting a three-pointer early in the third period. Then after a brief stint on the bench, he returned and landed on Pachulia's foot on a jumper, which sent Leonard limping to the bench for good.
The Spurs were leading 78-55 when Leonard left the game with 7:54 remaining in the third quarter. Golden State immediately responded with an 18-0 run to get back into the game.
Popovich said if Leonard remained in the game and San Antonio lost, he would go to practice the next day and "move on. But this is crap.
"And because he's has got this history, it can't be, 'Oh this was inadvertent, he didn't have intent,' " Popovich said of Pachulia. "Who gives a damn what his intent was? Have you ever heard of manslaughter? You still go to jail I think when you're texting and you end up killing somebody but may have not intended to do that. All I care is what I saw, all I care about is what happened. And the history there exasperates the whole situation and makes me very, very angry."

(The Sports Xchange) – Draymond Green turned a layup into a three-point play with 1:15 to go to break a tie and lift the Golden State Warriors to a 113-111 victory over the San Antonio Spurs in Game One of the NBA Western Conference finals on Sunday.
The Spurs lost star forward Kawhi Leonard to a recurrence of his left ankle injury in the third quarter after having built a 25-point lead in the first half.
Game Two in the best-of-seven series is Tuesday, also on the Warriors' home court.
Rallying from a 20-point halftime deficit, the third-biggest comeback in NBA history, the Warriors got a game-high 40 points from Stephen Curry and 34 from Kevin Durant.
Curry hit a 13-foot floater with nine seconds remaining to give Golden State a 113-110 lead and begin a hectic finish.
LeMarcus Aldridge, the Spurs' leading scorer with 28 points, had a chance to tie the score but misfired on a three-pointer from the left corner.
Patty Mills retrieved the ball and was fouled with five-tenths of a second left. He made the first free throw to get the Spurs within two, then intentionally missed the second, with the Warriors deflecting the ball out of bounds as time expired.
Curry scored 21 of his points on 7-of-16 shooting on three-pointers. The Warriors were 11 of 30 from beyond the arc and outscored the Spurs 33-21 on three-pointers.
Leonard finished with 26 points and Manu Ginobili 17 for the Spurs.
The game turned on Leonard's injury. He had poured in 18 points and Aldridge 17 in a stunning first-half offensive display by the Spurs, who led by 25 at one point en route to a 62-42 halftime advantage.
Leonard, who missed the end of Game Five of the Western Conference semifinals on Tuesday and all of Game Six against the Houston Rockets on Thursday, tweaked the ankle when he stepped back into the Spurs' bench while attempting a three-pointer early in the third quarter.
Then after a brief stint on the bench, he returned and landed on Warriors center Zaza Pachulia's foot on a jumper, which sent Leonard limping to the bench for good.
The Spurs were leading 78-55 when Leonard departed with 7:52 remaining in the third quarter. The Warriors immediately responded with an 18-0 run to get back into the game.
