Choking is when an infant can't breathe because food, a toy, or other object is blocking the airway (throat or windpipe).
A choking infant's airway may be completely or partially blocked. A complete blockage is a medical emergency. A partial obstruction can quickly become life threatening if the infant loses the ability to breathe in and out sufficiently.
Without oxygen, permanent brain damage can occur in as little as 4 minutes. Rapid first aid for choking can save a life.
Choking in infants is usually caused by inhaling a small object that they have placed in their mouth, such as a button, coin, balloon, toy part, or watch battery.
The danger signs of choking are:
DO NOT perform these steps if the infant is coughing forcefully or has a strong cry -- either of which can dislodge the object on its own.
If the child becomes unresponsive, stops breathing, or turns blue:
If an infant is choking:
Even if you successfully dislodge the object and the infant seems fine, call a doctor for further instructions.

An online journal about visual art, the urban landscape and design. Mary Louise Schumacher, the Journal Sentinel's art and architecture critic, leads the discussion and a community of writers contribute to the dialogue.
Random, arty shopping tip of the day
Last summer, I took a few days off and spent some time in Santa Monica. I happened upon an 8,000-square-foot bookstore, around the corner from my hotel, dealing almost entirely with art and architecture titles.
I was in heaven and spent more time perusing the monographs, out-of-print titles and glossy tomes on subjects like green architecture than I did strolling along the beach. Hennissey + Ingalls is described as perhaps the largest retail bookstore in the country for art books, and certainly the largest in the western U.S. for art and architecture books. They are one of the country's best suppliers for leading architecture firms, museums and collectors, according to the web site.
More than that, though, Hennessey + Ingalls has become an important source for me since that getaway. If I am doing research for an art or architecture review for the paper, I know I can turn to the web site or staff to help me find the materials I need.
The web site is a beautifully curated experience – with a lot of expertise behind it. I often find books I didn't think I needed. A quick call to the staff of the still family-owned shop, and I've gotten super astute gift recommendations for some of my art- and architecture-loving chums, too.
Find this unique book store online at www.hennesseyingalls.com. They are also on Facebook and Twitter (@HennesseyIngals) and can be reached at (310) 458-9074.

Fed up with the English having all the electric motorcycle racing fun? No longer, the TTXGP will be holding an exhibition at the Mid-Ohio Vintage Motorcycle Days July 24-26. Mission Motors, Brammo and Electric Motorsport have already agreed to attend, but we're really hoping the MotoCzysz E1pc will be there too. No word on if there's going to be exhibition laps, an actual race or just a static display, but we'll find out right now and get back to you.
Update: details of the "full speed" exhibition below.
The TTXGP bikes will be doing one complete lap on the Friday and then two laps at different times on the Saturday and Sunday. These laps are for exhibition purposes – not racing – but the bikes will be going at full speed. The bikes will also be taking part in rolling exhibition of bikes from the last 85 years.

Reps. Russ Carnahan and Lacy Clay each snagged labor endorsements in their bids to stay in Congress.
The two St. Louis City Democrats are both running in the 1st Congressional District, an area that encompasses all of St. Louis City and portions of north St. Louis County. It's a race that's expected to be quite heated, as evidenced by the barbs traded between the two on the first day of filing.
A few weeks ago Clay received from the Missouri branch of the AFL-CIO, one of the largest labor unions in the state. This week, Carnahan nabbed endorsements from firefighters unions that encompass St. Louis City and St. Louis County. It's not that surprising because the St. Louis City union commended Carnahan for his work retrieving grants for firefighters.
"Russ has always had the back of the first responders in the region," Mark Woolbright, IAFF Vice President and Local 2665 member, said in a statement. "Whether it's trying to find ways to save jobs in the region or ensuring that we have top of the line equipment and training, we know the public safety community has a true fighter for our issues in Russ Carnahan."
The firefighter backing is one of the first of note for Carnahan. St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay and St. Louis County Executive Charlie Dooley backed Clay almost immediately after Carnahan got into the 1st District contest.

Luxury Home minutes walk from Galway city centre. The house is in a wonderful location & has mature plum trees in the secluded back garden. The back garden gate opens onto a canal & pedestrian walkway leading you, in minutes, either to the city, Claddagh beach, Galway Cathederal or the city's NUIG university.
Other facilities a short walk away include Spanish Arch & Galway Museum, Latin Quarter, Volvo Ocean Race, Roisin Dubh & Monroe's (for music), Salthill (Ireland's longest promenade), Druid & Town Hall Theatre, An Taibhdhearc (Irish Language Theatre), The Claddagh (i.e Heart in Hands Claddagh Ring) and St. Nicholas' Collegiate Church (established 1320).
There are loads of fantastic restaurants with 10 minutes of our house and most are really affordable. I read recently in the local paper that we
live in the dining district :)
Galway is full of water, whether in the rivers, canals, beaches or in the skies! Yes, it rains alot but its worth it! The house was built in 1928 but recently renovated and has a lot of luxury comforts: great music system, wifi, amazingly big bath, home cinema screen 8Ft (2.4M), peat turf fire, LGBT friendly, great hosts!!! ;0) who love meeting new people.
See our other listings (on the panel to the right hand side) if you would like to book either the whole house or else the master bedroom
Guests have access to the whole house (except our private bedroom of course)
We usually interact quite a bit with guests, if they like to interact. Some people like to do their own this and this too is cool
We live in a lovely old part of Galway close to the city centre and the historic claddagh fishing village. We are 10 minutes walk from the beach - which is lovely
we are in the city centre so everything is within walking distance.
we have a lovely Irish (red) setter dog who is very gentle

This was a fantastic house in a fantastic location with fantastic hosts. The spare room was wonderfully cosy with a firm enough bed. The soft cotton sheets certainly kept the cold nights at bay. Pam and Pars' generosity was such that sharing a toilet and bathroom was no problem at all. Being able to use the kitchen was a real bonus if you don't want to spend all your money eating out and want to stay healthy. As for the location it was a quick walk along the canal to the University, a short stroll into the city centre, the promenade and sea were moments away and Henry Street offers great entertainment should you want it. And the dog? I was missing mine so was pleased to have another to cuddle.
I spent four days with Pam and Par last week. I felt so welcomed from the moment of my arrival. They live so close to the inner delights of Galway and were happy to share their local secrets of good cafes, restaurants etc. The karma, for want of a better word, within their home is special and I loved to hear them singing. I couldn't recommend it more highly. A very special place.
Pam and Par were amazing hosts. They were very welcoming and helpful, and they gave us a list of good places to eat in Galway which was 100% accurate! Their dog, Red, is very sweet. We loved their beautiful home and felt very comfortable (and the claw-footed bathtub is amazing!) Pam and Par have filled their home with books, music and beautiful artwork and it was a perfect place for us to stay. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Galway!
Our stay in Galway was wonderful. Our hosts Par & Pam were very nice and gave us many ideas on where to go and what to see. We also got a homemade little map, which was very helpful to get around. The house was very nice and cozy, we felt like at home. I would recommend this stay for anyone wanting to visit Galway. Thank you very much!
Par and Pam's was our first stop of a big trip for us, and we could not have chosen better! What a warm and welcoming home in a great location. Comfortable, clean. Yummy cereals and goodies for breakfast. Good coffee. Our only disappointment was that they were quite busy our two days there, as were we, and we didn't see as much of them as we would have liked. But Jerry did get to play a bit of music with Par, and was really glad.
We absolutely loved Par and Pam's place in Galway - it was so homey and comfortable, just what we needed after a long day of travel. Their location is perfectly situated to walk everywhere and Par and Pam gave great suggestions on what to visit and where to eat. Highly recommended!
we spend four nights at par & pam's place and had a great time. the house is lovely, the kitchen great. we enjoyed to cook and eat together. pam had a lot of tips which restaurants, pubs and shops to visit. she also helped us to plan our journeys to connemara and aran islands. great host, great town.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. - The Amateur Softball Association announced today the selection of UCLA's Andrea Duran as the USA Softball National Player of the Week for the week of April 24-30. Duran helped generate 11 of the Bruin's 21 runs this past week as UCLA posted a 4-1 record and maintained their No. 1 ranking.
Against two top-15 opponents last week, Druan (Selma, Calif.) led the bruins with five runs scored, two home runs, eight RBI and a .737 slugging percentage. In the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against No. 16 Washington, Duran doubled and came around to score UCLA's second run in what would be a 3-2, 12 inning loss. In game two, Duran opened the scoring in UCLA's six-run third inning with an RBI single and eventually came around to score in the frame as UCLA overcame a four-run deficit to lead 6-4.
"Andrea Duran plays great defense, is clutch up at the plate and with her speed is a threat on the bases," said Head Coach Sue Enquist. "We wouldn't be where we are this season without her."
In Friday's win over archrival Arizona, Duran went 3-for-4 with five RBI and three runs scored. She singled to lead off the bottom of the first inning and came around to score the game-tying run. In the fifth inning, Duran led off with a home run, giving the Bruins a 3-1 lead. With the bases loaded and one out in the sixth she connected on her first career grand slam, pushing the Bruins to an 8-1 advantage that ended in an 8-2 victory.
"I am very surprised to win this award because so many other people did well this weekend," said Duran of this second-time honor. "Receiving this award is an honor, and it will be a great way to remember my last regular season games at Easton Stadium, senior day and my first collegiate grand slam."
In Sunday's Senior Day game against Arizona State, Duran went 2-for-2 with a sacrifice and the game-winning RBI. She singled to lead off the bottom of the first inning and put down a sacrifice bunt in the third to set up the game-tying run. In the fourth inning with the bases loaded, she delivered a single that plated two Bruins for the 3-1 win.

By the time Shikellamy's Ernie Tyler scored his team's first basket from the floor Saturday, the deficit the Braves faced was almost too big to overcome.
Within the first four minutes of the opening quarter, visiting Loyalsock stormed to a huge 18-point lead.
Tyler and the rest of the Braves could do little to slow down the fast-paced offense, and the Lancers remained undefeated with a 75-42 win in a HAC crossover game at the Shikellamy Field House.
"Our goal was to try to get it down to about 10 within the first few minutes of the third quarter and it didn't work," Shikellamy coach Tim Foor said. "Loyalsock's a very solid team. (Roger) Wilson's a handful. (Kyle) Datres and (Omar) Little are two very solid guards — both quick, athletic and can shoot the ball. I thought they shot the ball extremely well against our zone in the first half."
Wilson proved to be a tough force to contain. The 6-foot-5 senior scored a team-high 18 points and grabbed seven rebounds. Little added 14 points for the Lancers.
"He's wide and he's strong," Foor said of Wilson. "Not only is he 6-5, he's a strong 6-5, and that's something you don't see a lot of in this area. He posts up very well, he uses his body, he keeps his defender off him a little bit. They're very patient on swinging the ball around until they get the mismatch where they throw over the top or they pick it down into him and he kicks it back out.
"It's a very good post player to have."
Loyalsock (5-0, 2-0 HAC-II) opened the game with spurts of 7-0 and 10-0 to put Shikellamy into a 19-1 hole before Tyler's basket. The Braves (3-3, 2-0 HAC-I) cut the deficit to 11 when Tyler hit a 3-pointer with 26 seconds to play in the first quarter.
That was the closest Shikellamy could make it, as the Lancers continually increased their lead throughout the game, including a 7-0 run to open the second quarter.
Between the second and third quarters, the Braves went 7:32 between baskets from the floor. Shikellamy also had a span of 5:50 between the third and fourth quarters without scoring from the floor.
"That hurt us because I actually thought from the last two minutes of the first quarter to halftime, we cut that lead down to 13, but I thought we could have had it down to even 10," Foor said. "Then our goal coming into the third quarter was to get that 13-point lead down to 10 for them within three to four minutes into the third, but they actually extended the lead into the third."
Tyler accounted for all five of Shikellamy's six points in the third quarter and ended the day with a game-high 23. The senior guard accounted for 15 of Shikellamy's 23 first half points.
The Braves cut the lead to 13-points with 5:18 to play in the third and then made it a 15-point game with a free throw roughly a minute later. However, from there it was all Loyalsock. The Lancers had a 12-0 run and led by 28 points going into the fourth quarter.
The Braves had chances to score throughout the game, getting good looks against a tough Lancers squad, but just couldn't knock down the shots.
"Our shots weren't falling at the beginning of the game and we were getting some decent looks. We haven't seen the pressure on the ball that Loyalsock brought us," Foor said. "That was good for us. Hopefully it's a learning experience because I thought we were a little stagnant on the offensive end where, in some of our sets, we were letting our point guard just dribble around and everyone was sort of standing a little bit where you have to react and get the defensive moving by cutting to the basket to try to break them down a little bit.
"There were some spots where I thought we did that, but obviously not enough where we did it the entire game."

A two-story shopping mall with 120 stores, mostly outlets of luxury brands such as Prada and Coach and upscale stores such as Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue and Bloomingdale's, is slated to open in Rosemont in August.
Fashion Outlets of Chicago is being developed by AWE Talisman, an outlet developer and manager, and Macerich, a regional mall owner, operator and developer.
The mall's anchor stores will be Bloomingdale's The Outlet Store, Last Call by Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5th and Forever 21, the developers announced.
Earlier: Golf Mill cites Rosemont mall as a reason to upgrade
The mall will have two fine-dining restaurants, Villagio and Prasino, a food court and fine art installations.
Perhaps setting a new trend in locating malls on the edge of airports to encourage shopping, Fashion Outlets of Chicago will have shuttle bus service to and from O'Hare terminals for travelers who want to shop.
The developers also said a TSA-certified concierge on-site will print travelers' boarding passes and check their shopping bags and luggage to their flights.
The mall will be located off of Balmoral Road in Rosemont and off of I-294 at the intersections of I-190 and I-90.
It's near a new entertainment complex, The Park at Rosemont, which offers numerous restaurants and bars, including Adobe Gila's, Toby Keith's and Five Roses Pub, as well as concerts, ice skating, bowling and the Muvico theater.
"We don't believe there is another shopping environment that reaches this caliber of global brands with this level of customer care and market access," said AWE Talisman Chairman Arthur Weiner in a statement.
"Beyond the robust slate of retail and dining attractions, Fashion Outlets of Chicago also will offer an exciting set of customer amenities and social experiences, including a world-class art installation."
Fashion Outlets of Chicago is the latest development in an increasingly rich Rosemont area, which has seen a number of new restaurants and entertainment venues open in recent years. It is located on Fashion Outlets Way off of Balmoral Road in Rosemont and off of I-294 at the intersections of I-190 and I-90. Dining is another focus of the new property: Fashion Outlets of Chicago will offer two fine dining restaurants, Prasino and Villagio, in addition to a first-level food court and variety of other quick-service options.
"Fashion Outlets of Chicago marks our commitment to the changing face of outlet retail in America," said Art Coppola, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Macerich.

- Prada

A few suggestions: Jeffrey Eugenides--Middlesex, Jeanette Winterson---The Passion & Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit (seconding @ottilie, anything by Winterson is amazing), Marisa de los Santos--Love Walked In, Belong to Me (light quick reads, but beautiful)
Classics....Kate Chopin--The Awakening, Virginia Woolf--To The Lighthouse, F. Scott Fitzgerald--The Beautiful and Damned, The Great Gatsby, William Faulkner--The Sound and the Fury, Willa Cather--My Antonia, Truman Capote--Breakfast at Tiffanys
I love short stories and essays in the summer, easy to pick up and put down on the beach. Love anything by David Sedaris or Sloane Crosley
And if you like historical fiction and fantasy...you might like Time's Arrow by Martin Amis...ridiculously powerful read.mom to livvy jozefa 7.10.13

Ottilie, I do love the Fagles, but if you are a sucker for a more direct translation Latimer is the way to go! (my undergrad degree is in classics so I always prefer a more word-for-word translation, but the Fagles is so pretty). I also love Dante's Inferno (read a side-by-side italian-english translation and prepare to drool at the beauty of the language)
Virgil's Georgics are also nice, and Hesiod's Theogeny is entertaining and has tons of amazing name references!
On the subject of epic poetry, I would also recommend the Ramayana, Mabinogion, the Poetic Edda, the Kalevala, the Tain, and the Saga of the VolsungsBaby boy due October 2014! Current tentative name:

Fitz and Fagles by a mile. Much more poetic. The Latimer one (although more accurate) lacks the beauty of Fagles' translation. Poetry should be sheer beauty. (So while we're at it, if anyone's planning on reading Rilke's Sonnets to Orpheus, choose the gorgeous translation by Martyn Crucefix.) I speak Italian, so I've been able to read The Divine Comedy in Italian... it's gorgeous.[FONT=Palatino Linotype][CENTER]My darling Marian Illyria Aphrodite, March 2013 & Little Bunny (a girl!) due 9th of February 2014[/CENTER][/FONT]

The highlight of todays events was hearing from distinguished keynote speaker, former U.S. Secretary of State and National Security Advisor to the President, Dr. Condoleezza Rice. After Dr. Rice spoke, I was one of 75 lucky scholars who was able to meet this inspirational leader one on one!
During the Presidential Group Meeting, I, along with fellow students, we educated about the many critical roles that are filled by the President of the United States, including Chief Executive, Commander in Chief, Political Party Leader and Diplomat. We also explored different Presidential campaigns, including some of the roles staff members play as well as the strategies that candidates can use to communicate their platform. It seems like something people think they know, but this was some of the beyond the scene information that most people are unaware is going on during a campaign.
In the evening, a private screening of the movie All the President's Men was featured for the students and was followed by a lively panel discussion with renowned Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward and veteran journalist Nick Clooney. Another wonderful opportunity to gain insight about a historic event in history by two men with a unique perspective.
Our day ended with a briefing on safety procedures and scholar resources while on the National Mall for the Inauguration of President Barack Obama. And while all of my classmates sleep in today, I'm up at 4:00 a.m. for the big day...
Dr. Condoleezza Rice and more! January 20, 2013
Dr. Condoleezza Rice addressed the students; later, a screening of the movie All the President's Men was featured and a panel discussion with reporter Bob Woodward and journalist Nick Clooney

(NECN: Peter Howe, Cambridge/Chestnut Hill, Mass.) - America's most famous working Mom may now be America's most-vilified boss.
Weeks after charging back in to work just days after giving birth, Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer stunned her staff this week by declaring come June, there is no more telecommuting from home allowed and everyone must come work in a Yahoo office.
As the sixth CEO in barely five years for a company many call bloated and reeling under competition from Google and other Internet search engines and content and e-mail providers, Mayer's move is being called by some a necessary jolt, and a way short of mass layoffs to shake loose under-motivated workers who may be sticking with Yahoo just for the work-at-home perk.
But backlash against the policy has been swift, and nationwide, with many saying it's an especially bad signal to be sent by a working mother who should be championing, not shutting down, one of the most popular ways for parents to juggle family and work and maximize their productive contribution to corporate life
"It's moving backwards in terms of work-family issues, and it's also a pretty regressive move in terms of just general business leadership,'' Boston College management professor Brad Harrington, who heads BC's Center for Work and Family, said in an interview Tuesday. "It seems very out of synch with a lot of what our research says and a lot of what the most successful companies are doing these days.''
Studies generally find about 1 in 10 working Americans regularly log a substantial number of their weekly work hours from home through Internet and phone connections or meetings outside the workplace. Many studies show telecommuting time has been growing, and most companies and organizations expect their employees to put in more hours at home and outside the office – and many are counting on work-from-home arrangements to reduce their need for expensive, often underutilized office space.
Harrington – who once worked a management job for Silicon Valley technology giant Hewlett-Packard while based in Boston and travelling to California for two weeks each month while his kids were very young – said Mayer's telecommuting ukase was an especially strange move for the head of an Internet company.
"She's in a technology company, and she's running a technology company. Technology companies are usually on the vanguard of these kinds of virtual workplaces,'' Harrington said. "It's very unusual for a technology company to say, 'Well, if you're working remotely, you're really not connected to the office.'"
In a widely leaked e-mail to Yahoo! employees, Mayer's top human-relations aide explained the policy change by saying: "To become the absolute best place to work, communication and collaboration will be important, so we need to be working side-by-side … We need to be one Yahoo!, and that starts with physically being together."
In Kendall Square, Cambridge, Patrick Sweeney, CEO of social-media marketing startup dwinQ, said Mayer's edict makes sense to him. "I don't think it'll be well received by workers, but I think those are the type of workers they probably don't want to have around anyways,'' Sweeney said.
At dwinQ, Sweeney said he employs five full-time telecommuters, and five more people who regularly work from home, but requires they all get regular office face time.
"Culturally, we make sure they come in every couple of weeks, so they can be with the team, go out to lunch,'' and participate in other face-to-face, real-time exchanges, Sweeney said. "That's so important from a cultural perspective, to have people in to collaborate and share ideas, and you really have to be in the office and you have to be with a team.''
While there have been a profusion of books and white papers and management seminars on making telecommuting work, the fact remains it is very popular among Americans. Collaboration software maker Wrike.com recently surveyed more than 1,000 technology professionals and team members and managers, finding 54 percent said they'd be willing to give up their company-paid cellphone in exchange for being able to telecommute, 31 percent said they'd be willing to take less paid vacation, and 25 percent even said they would take a salary cut if that was what it took to be able to work from home.
Harrington's academic center closely studies over 80 big corporations work-life policies and practices. In keeping with the adage that if you want to get something done, give the job to a busy person, Harrington said the center's research has consistently found a clear correlation between who are the top performers in an organization – and who are the people most interested in work-from-home flexibility, saying the same kinds of people who are committed to being good parents or caregivers or community-minded volunteers, not surprisingly, tend to be committed company workers, too.
"People who are high-energy, they're talented, they're the kind of people who are in demand within the workplace -- they're also the people who are just are the kind of people who are going home trying to be engaged with their children, coaching, being involved in community activities and so forth'' and holding those as important personal priorities, Harrington said. "They're high-energy and high-engagement kinds of individuals.''
For Yahoo!, the question still to be answered: How much does it lose in talent and round-the-clock productivity from its new policy, and how much does it gain from keeping its most committed workers and getting more collaboration and brainstorming inspirations from having them spend more time together, in person.

Shutdown Corner
Hall of Fame profile: Seattle Seahawks OT Walter JonesFrank Schwab at Shutdown Corner11 hrs ago
The Pro Football Hall of Fame's Class of 2014 gets inducted on Saturday. Shutdown Corner will profile the seven new Hall of Famers this week, looking at each of their careers and their impact on the game.
Walter Jones 1997-2008 Seattle Seahawks Offensive tackle
Greatest moment We rarely stop and say "Whoa!" about an offensive tackle during a game, but Jones caused one of those moments in the biggest win of his career. In the NFC championship game at the end of the 2005 season, the Seahawks handed off to Shaun Alexander off tackle. And Jones drove Carolina defensive end Mike Rucker from the 18-yard line to about the 3-yard line before finally pancaking him to the ground. Alexander ran inside the 5-yard line before he was tackled, and it set up Alexander's 1-yard touchdown run and a 17-0 Seattle lead. The Sehaawks won and advanced to their first Super Bowl. Rucker was listed at 275 pounds, by the way, and Jones treated him like a cornerback. It was a remarkable play, and it just happened to come in one of Jones' biggest games.
Hall of Fame profile: Cardinals-Rams CB Aeneas WilliamsEric Edholm at Shutdown Corner12 hrs ago
The Pro Football Hall of Fame's Class of 2014 gets inducted on Saturday. Shutdown Corner will profile the seven new Hall of Famers this week, looking at each of their careers and their impact on the game.
Aeneas Williams Phoenix/Arizona Cardinals, 1991-2000, St. Louis Rams 2001-2004 Cornerback-safety
Greatest moment
So the Rams, wanting to upgrade their defense after a down season in 2000, sent secon- and fourth-round picks to the Cardinals to free Williams and give the Rams the sticky cornerback they so badly needed. Despite being 33 at the time of the deal, Williams was coming off a season in which he had five interceptions, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries (one of which he returned for a touchdown).
It was a terrific move for the Rams, and Williams had one of his finest seasons. He picked off four more passes in the regular season, running two back for touchdowns, and recovering four fumbles as the Rams were the class of the NFC field and once more the favorites to win the Super Bowl
Washington Redskins selling lame training camp shirt for just $30Frank Schwab at Shutdown Corner14 hrs ago
NFL teams sometimes practice against each other in training camp. It's fun, it gives the teams a chance to evaluate their players against someone else for a few days. Fans can see a second team up close that they're not used to seeing. It's good, functional fun.
What it's not is a reason to sell mementos. But, the NFL has never turned down a chance to back a buck or 30, so ....
The Redskins are selling commemorative T-shirts for their training camp practices against the Patriots. No kidding, this is actually happening. And the cost of these lame T-shirts? $30.
The Redskins are selling "we practiced with the Patriots during training camp" tees. 30 bucks pic.twitter.com/vZn21JM4W1
Maybe there's a worse T-shirt out there, but probably not.

Washington Redskins fan proposes to girlfriend after attending training campBen Rohrbach at Shutdown Corner15 hrs ago
At NFL training camps, optimism is riding high among fans. The grass is green. "This could be the year everything changes," they tell themselves. "It's just gonna take a whole lotta heart." It's hard not to get wrapped up in the emotions. Just ask Washington Redskins fan Josh Firestone.
According to Twitter posts from the team's official account and local NBC12 sports photographer Dwight Nixon, Firestone proposed to girlfriend Halley Weinstein moments after Friday's practice in Richmond, Va. On bended knee and decked out in a DeAngelo Hall jersey, Firestone delivered the engagement ring in front of a "Virginia is for lovers" sign outside Bon Secours Washington Redskins Training Center.
While many women may not have been thrilled at the thought of starting a life together outside training camp for a team that finished 3-13 last season (ahem), it appears Firestone made a fine choice. She accepted his offer, and he has a built-in reason to be inside watching football every Sunday.
Dallas Cowboys include playoff tickets in season-ticket package to fansFrank Schwab at Shutdown Corner17 hrs ago
The Dallas Cowboys make it easy sometimes.
Nothing is going to send people rolling in the aisles quite like this: The Cowboys sent out playoff tickets to their season-ticket holders. Before the season starts. Before the preseason starts. Dallas fans already have their playoff tickets including for the NFC championship game, according to ESPN's Darren Rovell.
The Cowboys have won one playoff game since Dec. 28, 1996, haven't made the playoffs since 2009, and go into this season with perhaps the worst defense in football. But hey, those tickets might make for nice placemats.
Cowboys send season ticket holders playoff tickets, including NFC champ game http://t.co/81EoQ55V3h pic.twitter.com/Ns8YGichCF
It really is kinda fun to chuckle at Dallas owner Jerry Jones, but there's a story here that won't get as much attention because of all the #LOLCowboys – that's the NFL's playoff ticket issue.
Ex-Mizzou teammate: Michael Sam is 'not the same' anymoreEric Edholm at Shutdown Corner17 hrs ago
Eric Waters is a rookie, just like his former college teammate at University of Missouri, Michael Sam. They're both trying to make NFL rosters as relative long shots in a hyper-competitive sport with limited jobs available.
That's a pretty humble existence for most rookies. But Waters can't help but think that Sam has changed since his former Tigers teammate and roommate revealed his sexuality to the nation this spring.
[ Smack talk season is back at Yahoo Sports: Sign up and play free Fantasy Football!]
Waters, an undrafted free agent tight end in training camp with the Pittsburgh Steelers, told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review that he feels Sam is not the same guy he used to know so well in college.
"He is a nice guy, but I will say the truth: A little bit of him has changed," Waters said. "It is really not my situation to speculate at this point, but he is not the same Michael Sam anymore."
Shutdown Countdown: Seahawks have huge challenge to repeatFrank Schwab at Shutdown Corner18 hrs ago
Shutdown Corner is previewing all 32 teams as we get ready for the NFL season, counting down the teams one per day in reverse order of our initial 2014 power rankings. No. 1 will be revealed Aug. 2, the day before the preseason begins with the Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio.
The Seattle Seahawks were a great team last season, but the same can be said for many of the Super Bowl champions since 2004.
The common thread of all those title teams is none won a playoff game the following year. The last defending Super Bowl champion to win a playoff game was the 2005 New England Patriots, who won a wild-card game before losing in the next round at Denver.
No way cancer-fighting Jim Kelly was going to miss Andre Reed's Hall callEric Edholm at Shutdown Corner19 hrs ago
For years, Jim Kelly and Andre Reed were the most prolific passing combination in NFL history. So there was no chance that Kelly was going to miss the chance to see his friend and former Buffalo Bills teammate be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Kelly, who has been bravely battling cancer, will be in Canton, according to his wife, Jill, who told the Buffalo News that she and her husband will be fighting back emotions as they watch Reed put on the gold jacket Saturday night.
[ Smack talk season is back at Yahoo Sports: Sign up and play free Fantasy Football!]
Kelly's cancer returned in February, and it combined with the death of Bills owner Ralph Wilson was a double shot of sadness for the entire Buffalo committee. Kelly remains upbeat and busy, Jill said, as he spent time this week filming a series on the Bills with ESPN. She reports that he's doing whatever he can to remain active and healthy.
Michael Vick wants to play until he's 40Jay Busbee at Shutdown Corner19 hrs ago
Whenever Michael Vick's career ends, it'll be one of the more fascinating and remarkable ones in NFL history. (Note we did not say "impressive" or "admirable.") And if Vick has his way, that career won't end for quite some time.
Vick seems like he's been around forever, but he's "only" 34, a year younger than Drew Brees and two years younger than Tom Brady. He's now the presumptive backup to Geno Smith on the Jets, which doesn't necessarily portend a spectacular third act to one's career. But Vick on Thursday said he hopes and expects to play until he's 40.
"You never envision yourself being in this role (when you're younger)," Vick told the New York Daily News. "But as you grow older, you start to (realize) it's inevitable. You know it's going to happen. At the same time, I just try to keep myself in shape and keep trying to be the best that I can be, because you never know what can happen."
Jim Harbaugh, 49ers table contract discussions until after the seasonEric Edholm at Shutdown Corner21 hrs ago
The San Francisco 49ers and Jim Harbaugh have decided to put off any further contract talks until after the season, 49ers CEO Jed York told Yahoo SportsTalk Live, via CSNBayArea.com.
"We actually just had this conversation yesterday," York said. "Lots of people were talking to him about it. We just said, 'You know what, let's not do anything during the season. Let's sit down a week or so after the season is over and let everybody know we're not focused on anything that's off the field right now.'
"Jim and I will sit down a week or so after the season is over and we'll figure out where we go."
[Smack talk season is back at Yahoo Sports: Sign up and play free Fantasy Football!]
Normally, this might not elicit much worry, except for all the (reported) drama that went on after last season with talk of the two sides being completely at odds and Harbaugh not being all that well liked in the organization.

- Summary Report: Evaluation of Retractable Syringes in a Measles-Rubella Immunization Campaign in Peru
In 2006, UNICEF, the Peruvian Ministry of Health, and PATH performed an evaluation in Peru to assess perceptions of acceptability and safety of automatic retractable syringes in an immunization setting and their affect on waste disposal. The evaluation showed that retractable syringes were seen as a reliable, easy-to-use, preferred alternative to standard disposables in the campaign setting. The evaluation also found that retractable syringes have the potential to improve the safe management of sharps waste.

The Buffalo arts community's continuing effort to reclaim the hulking industrial husks of this city's former grandeur (e.g., its nearly century-long run as the leading grain milling city in the world) as sites for occasional multi-media events resumes this (Saturday) evening from 5 p.m. to sundown as the Silo City Reading Series presents "An Evening of Poetry, Music, and Visual Art," with readings by nationally-recognized poets Matt Hart and Nate Pritts, music by the Americana band Pine Fever, and visual art installations by leading Buffalo-based visual artists Jason Seeley and Kyle Butler in The Perot Grain Elevator, located at Silo City, 92 Childs Street in Buffalo's historic Grain District along the Buffalo River. The event is free and open to the public.
Hart, a widely-published poet who has also performed as a singer-songwriter, is the author of "Who's Who Vivid" (Slope Editions, 2006), "Wolf Face" (H_NGM_N BKS, 2010), and "Light-Headed" (BlazeVOX Books, 2011). His fourth full-length collection of poetry, "Sermons and Lectures Both Blank and Relentless" was published by Typecast Publishing in February of 2012.
A co-founder and the editor-in-chief of the noted alternative publication Forklift, Ohio: A Journal of Poetry, Cooking & Light Industrial Safety, he lives in Cincinnati where he teaches writing and aesthetics at the Art Academy of Cincinnati.
Pritts, a Syracuse native whose work has been described as in the latter day linguistic tradition of the New York School, is the founder and editor of H_NGM_N literary journal and H_NGM_N BKS. He earned an MFA from Warren Wilson College in 2000 and a PhD in creative writing and British Romanticism from the University of Louisiana, Lafayette, in 2003.
His full-length collections of poetry include "Sensational Spectacular" (BlazeVOX Books, 2007), "Honorary Astronaut" (Ghost Road Press, 2008), "The Wonderfull Yeare: a shepherd's calendar (Cooper Dillon, 2010)", "Big Bright Sun" (BlazeVox, 2010), and "Sweet Nothing" (Lowbrow Press, 2011). His most recent publication is "Right Now More Then Ever" (H_NGM_N BKS, 2013).
If you've never been to an event on the sprawling, six acre Silo City site before, it's a good idea to follow the event signage on the front gate of the property on Childs Street facing Ohio Street, and prepare for a walk along some unpaved open space between elevators on the site. At this stage in its reclamation, Silo City is perhaps even a bit more authentically abandoned than several of the other Buffalo post-industrial sites that have hosted art-related events.

To the Editor:
Cumberland Times-News
The article, "Bill would ban fracking," on Jan. 28, briefly describes the process of hydraulic fracturing as "chemicals, water and sand [being] pumped underground to break rock formations and free the gas."
While this basic description is an adequate way to describe the process, it is important for readers to understand exactly what this means.
As we've seen in neighboring Pennsylvania, the effects of fracking are hazardous to the natural ecosystem and public health.
Bulldozers can clear acres of land for each well, and trucks make thousands of trips over local roads carrying tons of machinery, chemicals, water, and sand, damaging local roads and contributing significantly to local air pollution.
The fracking process also releases methane, a greenhouse gas that is 20 times more potent than carbon dioxide, which contributes to global warming. Lastly, the process is devastating to our water resources because each well can produce millions of gallons of wastewater that is capable of contaminating local wells and drinking water, leading to health problems such as headaches, eye irritation, respiratory problems, and nausea.
A ban on fracking would tell the oil and gas industry that we will not stand for this type of damage to our environment and our people.
The potential costs to our communities, environment, and public health outweigh any benefits of producing natural gas on Maryland land, so we must come together to resolve that fracking is not in Maryland's future.

Two women have accused of more than $12,000 in welfare fraud in connection with running a day care business, Chenango County deputies said.
Amey Suwarrow, 28, of South New Berlin, and Gertrude Bullock, 64, of Mount Upton, were each charged March 18 with third-degree welfare fraud and first-degree offering a false instrument for filing, felonies, deputies said.
The women are accused of submitting day care time sheets to the Department of Social Services that contained false information, resulting in over payment of day care assistance, deputies said in a media release. The fraud amounted to $12,181.84 between November 2010 and April 2012, deputies said.
The defendants are to appear in court at a later date.
Deputies were assisted by members of the Department of Social Services Fraud Investigation Unit.

For the Cumberland Times-News
Cumberland Times-News
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Frostburg State junior offensive lineman Darius Arrington repeated as a First Team All-Empire 8 selection, one of five Bobcats to earn all-conference honors.
Arrington, a USA Football News Division III Preseason All-American, started nine of 10 games at left guard and helped block for an offense that averaged 306.1 yards per game in total offense and finished fourth in the conference in rushing (153.8 yards per game). Arrington will enter his senior season having started 27 of 30 games on the line.
Also, Anthony Young was named to the second team while Brendon Blanchette and Aaron Gruber were honorable mention all-conference.
Young, a senior wide receiver and a three-time second team all-conference selection dating back to the ACFC, tied for third in the league in receptions (46) and was sixth in receiving yards (610) and yards per game (61). He also tied for ninth with four touchdown receptions.
A Capital One Academic All-District and NFF National Scholar-Athlete Award nominee, Young finished his FSU career second in school history in receptions (179), third in receiving yards (2,226) and seventh in touchdown catches (14).
Blanchette, a senior and USA Football News Division III Preseason All-American, started all 10 games at safety and finished second in the league with 107 total tackles. He made 10 or more tackles in six games, including a career-best 17 stops against Waynesburg. Blanchette is the first Bobcat with 100 or more tackles in a season since 2005. He was a second team All-Empire 8 honoree a year ago.
Gruber was a mainstay on the FSU defensive line, having capped his career with 30 consecutive starts at defensive end. He finished fourth on the team with 49 tackles and was second with 5.5 tackles for loss. He finished his career with 138 total stops.
Senior tight end Cory Shank rounded out the league award winners as he was selected FSU's Sportsman of the Year representative. He finished third on the team with 14 receptions for 101 yards. Over his four-year career, Shank hauled in 36 catches for 385 yards.
Frostburg State finished 3-7 overall in 2012 and was 1-6 in the Empire 8.
