FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Colts DE Dwight Freeney is "day-to-day" with his right ankle sprain, head coach Jim Caldwell said Monday, and Caldwell noted that because Freeney has yet to practice, the club is preparing to play Super Bowl XLIV without him.
However, the Colts have not dismissed the prospect of Freeney, a five-time Pro Bowler, taking the field against New Orleans on Sunday. Asked about Freeney's ability to recover from injuries, Caldwell said, "Certainly he's a quick healer."
Freeney did not practice last week and did not attend Sunday's Pro Bowl because of the injury, which Caldwell described as a "third-degree" sprain. Freeney suffered the injury in the Colts' 30-17 win vs. the Jets in the AFC title game on Jan. 24 and has been getting treatment in South Florida since last Friday, Caldwell said.
Freeney is best known for his incredible speed off the edge, which could make a lower leg injury all the more tough for him to overcome. In 14 regular-season games (nine starts) in 2009, he notched 13½ sacks, the second-highest total of his career. Freeney has forced 36 fumbles since 2002, most in the NFL.
Raheem Brock would likely move into the starting lineup if Freeney can't play, but Caldwell said the Colts would use a rotation of players to replace their most fearsome pass rusher. An eight-year veteran, the 6-foot-4, 274-pound Brock, who can also play inside, has 104 career starts to his credit, and he's notched 32 tackles and 3½ sacks this season.
"If he can't go," Caldwell said of Freeney, "it's kind of an old mantra that we have said time and time again, 'Next man up.' "
Colts DT Dan Muir echoed his head coach's sentiments, noting that if Freeney "can't play due to his injury, somebody else will step up, and he will be successful." CB Kelvin Hayden said that while it would take "two or three guys" to replace Freeney, he expressed confidence in the Colts' ability to pick up the slack.
But Hayden also is confident Freeney will be playing Sunday.
"Personally, I'm anticipating he will play, just being the type of guy Dwight is, and I'm assuming the whole team is looking at it like that," Hayden said. "If he's out there, he's going to be effective."
Of Freeney's injury status, Saints QB Drew Brees said Monday: "The fact is that it's the Super Bowl. I know any player would do as much as they could to get on that field. ... We're expecting him to play. If he doesn't, he doesn't. Certainly, I feel like they're coming into this game with all of their ammo."
Freeney missed a pair of games in the regular season, most notably the Week 12 contest vs. Houston with an abdominal injury. He sustained his most serious injury in 2007, when he was limited to nine games with a left foot injury.
If Freeney were to miss Super Bowl XLIV, the Colts' top pass-rush threat would be Robert Mathis, who is also fast off the edge. Mathis, the Colts' left defensive end, racked up 9½ sacks in the regular season.
But there is no doubt the Colts' defense is at its strongest when Freeney and Mathis are firing off the ball. And the absence of Freeney wouldn't loom anything but large.
"I count my blessings every day that he's on my team and I don't have to let him rush against me in a live practice," Colts QB Peyton Manning said Monday. He related the story of how Freeney is fond of running by him in non-contact drills and whispering, 'That would have hurt. That would have hurt.'
"It's a good little reminder," Manning said. "I've always had a positive feeling about Dwight. He's a guy that you like having on your side. I feel good about him this week."
The Colts' hope, of course, is that Freeney feels good on Sunday.

The suspect in a murder case that dates back to September of 2011 is now convicted of the crime.
Chandler Boone, originally charged with attempted murder two years ago, is now convicted of the murder of 21-year-old Jaderico Langford of Capitol Parkway Court.
The murder case stemmed from an investigation in the double homicide of Langford and 18-year-old Deswana Gregory of South Smiley Circle.
Prosecutors say Boone chased Langford down the street, stood over him and shot him execution style.
Boone's sentencing is set for September 4. He faces a sentence from 20 years to life in prison.
The murder case of Gregory still remains unsolved and no suspect/s have been named.
Langford and Gregory were Montgomery's 24th and 25th homicide victims of 2011.

Time Management - Lesson 8: Don't Let Time Run Away From You
Time Fact #8:
Completing your "A" tasks early is a great reducer of stress.
Do you let time run away from you? Which of the following apply to you?
- You indulge yourself. You do something you really enjoy but it is not critical that the activity be done now.
- You socialize. You visit, engage in small talk, and renew old contacts.
- You read "C" quality material rather than skim it.
- You do it yourself. You copy or take extensive notes on material that could be more productively photocopied. You do something that could be delegated (to a committee member, colleague, spouse, or a child).
- You overdo it. You spend an extra hour or two on a project that doesn't call for perfection.
- You run away. You go to a meeting you know will not be beneficial in order to escape the demands of studying. You pay your bills in person instead of mailing checks.
- You daydream. You wonder how you are going to spend your next vacation.
Many of these escapes are lots of fun and fine activities, but if you indulge them when you should be doing A-1 tasks, you are not an effective and efficient time user.
How can you avoid these escapes?
- Tell your friends, your boss, your family all of your dodges. This should keep you honest
- Get restarted and re-focused
- Plan when you feel overwhelmed
- Keep yourself involved (mentally) in a project even when your "instant" tasks wear thin
- Work on your A-1 tasks every day
- Avoid your favorite escapes when there is an "A-1″ task to do
- Maintain a positive attitude in spite of occasional setbacks
- Resist doing an easy but unimportant task
- Delegate work to a committee member or son/daughter

OpenSUSE 11.2 Arrives
The openSUSE project took an exceptionally long time to get its current version 11.2 to market. It's been almost a year since openSUSE 11.1.
In the current version, openSUSE comes with the Kernel 2.6.31 especially suited for desktop systems. The kernel is optimized for lower latencies (full preemption and HZ=1000) and developers removed a few features that are normally needed only on server systems, such as the group scheduler.
New installations of openSUSE 11.2 use the ext4 filesystem by default; updates retain the existing filesystem. Installation on ReiserFS or ext3 can continue to be done. A click on the Device Encryption checkbox allows the root partition to be encrypted. Unfortunately the openSUSE team hasn't quite managed to set up the partition module so that buttons are easily legible at 1024 x 768 pixels.
Novell has no plans for updating Grub. Unlike the new Ubuntu 9.10, openSUSE still has the old Grub. However, KDE 4 is now the standard desktop, with a choice of GNOME or XFCE also available.

Modified 3S ProgrammingIs the modified 3S programming described in the White Board going to be put on the site or will those of us who think that is a good template for us be sorting it on our own?
on Wednesday, May 16, 2012 at 06:34 am
RE: Modified 3S ProgrammingVan, the template for the site won't actually change. The above template is one of several I've put forward to give people more flexibility. With an enormous audience of different types of athletes, it's close to impossible to implement all of them.
So bottom line is if that templates works best for you, then great! My suggestion is to follow a week or so behind the site so you can "plug in" the workouts into your template. For example, you can move what is normally a strength and CF workout on a Wed to Thurs.

SwimI did my first sprint tri this past Sat., and during the swim my arms fatigued pretty quickly. I've never had this happen to me during a regular lap swim. The water was 60 degrees. Did my arms fatigue because of the temp or my lack of training in open water? Anybody?
on Wednesday, May 16, 2012 at 10:21 am
RE: SwimTJ-- There could be several factors which contributed. Swimming in open water is much different from a pool as there are currents, water entry to water deep enough to swim in, the race environment etc. Did you warm up in the water? You were probably swimming at a faster pace than you do in the pool.

SwimKaitlin - I'm not sure if there was a current. The only warming up I did in the water was treading water about 2 min before the start. My pace (2.30/100m) was the same as in a lap pool even though I had a wet suit on, but thanks for being optimistic.

Bike WODI did the 3 Sport Bike WOD this afternoon: 10:00 Warm Up (High Cadence Spinning); 6 x (1:00 On, 1:00 Off) (intervals for the on period were roughly .41-.43 miles per interval); 10:00 Cool Down (High Cadence Spinning)
This morning was S&C at the local box:
Conditioning: 7 Rounds for time of: 7 Chest to Bar Pull Ups, 7 Overhead Squats @75LB, 1 15' Rope Ascent, 7 Burpees, 7 Push Press @115. Time was a terribly slow 30:42. I could make all kinds of excuses, but the bottom line is the Push Press felt very heavy to me and it took me a long time to get through them. I was determined not to drop the weight.

RE:SwimTJ-- Your pace may have averaged out to be the same as it is in the pool, but there is a very good chance you started out with a faster pace. It will look like it was the same, but my guess is it averaged out to be the same because you started out faster. It equals out to be the same, but if you know you were pretty fatigued that tells me your pace was not the same throughout.
on Wednesday, May 16, 2012 at 07:28 pm
Open Water SwimmingTJ, open water swimming is just a lot different than lap swimming as katilin said. 60 degrees is cold and definitely could have inhibited you. Every time I do an open water swim I'm a little bit surprised at the difference between being in a pool. Whether you do flip turns or touch and go in a pool during lap swim ,the consistent deceleration/push off is different than a constant swimming motion. Honestly, having your arms tired in the sprint swim isn't that bad - you don't need them much the rest of the way. If there's a place near you that you can swim in open water a couple times I'd highly recommend it. I think you should be happy you did the same pace you did in a pool in open water your first time.

SwimTJ. Fatigue in the arms can come from not swimming in a wetsuit. Wetsuits place an additional strain to move. Were you wearing a swim specific suit? Was it a full sleeve suit? You can use resistance bands to strengthen this swim specific movement by mimicing the recovery portion of your stroke

Missing Bradford man found dead on farmland in Allerton
Updated 3:13pm Friday 1st February 2013 in Bradford
John Fabianski, an Allerton man who went missing on Tuesday, has been found dead on farmland in the Allerton area.
West Yorkshire Police launched an appeal on Tuesday for any help locating the 41-year-old, from Grange Drive, Allerton, but the search came to a sad end this morning.
He was last seen at 4pm on Tuesday, and his disappearance led to extensive police searches across the county and over its boarders and images of Mr Fabianski and his car were released as part of a public appeal for information.
But this afternoon, the police released a statement saying: "Sadly, Mr Fabianski was found dead this morning on farmland in the Allerton area. There are no suspicion circumstances.
"Media and members of the public are thanked for their assistance during the search."
Mr Fabianski was a graduate of the University of Hull.

Professor Joe Meno
"We grew up together," says award-winning fiction writer and playwright Joe Meno, referring to Columbia College, where he received his undergraduate degree, his MFA, and—eventually—a full-time gig as Associate Professor. His perspective as both alumni and faculty: "I don't know if I can capture how much the school has changed and blossomed; you feel like you're at this place that's both established itself and is still inventing itself. It's never boring."
I don't know if I can capture how much the school has changed and blossomed; you feel like you're at this place that's both established itself and is still inventing itself. It's never boring.
Meno appreciates the unconventional creative writing program at Columbia for creating a distinct and separate Fiction Writing department. "Usually, it's part of the English department, and typically other schools have between three and twelve creative writing classes—we have upwards of fifty here."
The Master's program is deeply rooted in fiction writing and prose form classes that employ Columbia's exclusive Story Workshop© approach, a nationally-renowned method of teaching developed by the College's own John Schultz. "I believe it's the best selling point on the program," says Meno. "There's something different about the way we teach writing. We focus on positive reinforcement; we look at a student's manuscript, see what's working and we respond to that. We have all these different ways for seeing how your writing works, and I really take that to heart."
Other schools have between three and twelve creative writing classes—we have upwards of fifty here.
"The other big thing, for me as a student and as a teacher, is that there's diversity here — in background, in language. It makes you a stronger writer to have to write a story that makes sense to a wider audience."
Meno's work certainly has broad appeal. His most recent novel The Great Perhaps was listed in 2009 as a New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice. In the same year he was also named a Columbia Distinguished College Artist, a two-year fellowship given to faculty members who have produced an extraordinary body of work, while showing the potential to continue creating innovatively. With seven published books and nine produced plays, the Nelson Algren Award, the Midland Authors Award for Fiction, and three awards from the Illinois Arts Council, Joe Meno has been appropriately deemed by Fiction Writing Department Chair Randy Albers to be "the hardest-working writer I know."
However, Meno reassures that not every grad student must show up to the program with a published book, like he did. "We have these great classes like Freelance Applications for Fiction Writers," he says, as well as publication opportunities on campus: Hair Trigger, the Fiction Department's annual anthology, and two other nationally distributed publications, Spec-Lit, a science fiction journal, and F Magazine, a journal devoted primarily to novels in progress. These publications empower students to find their own voices, give them a vehicle through which to showcase their writing to a wider audience, and expose them to the workings of a professional literary environment.
On the future of the literary field Meno says, "People are just story creatures; we need stories to help us construct meaning in our lives, that's how we understand things. You do this all the time, all day—that need is never going to change; it's just that the form it takes might be slightly different."

On the same day, Express and Coach name web retailing leaders to their boards.
It's a coincidence, but no fluke, that today two major brands in U.S. retailing announced adding e-commerce executives to their boards of directors. Handbag marketer Coach Inc. selected Stephanie Tilenius, formerly of eBay, PayPal and Google's digital commerce arm, who now is part of prominent Silicon Valley venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. Express Inc., the retail chain that sells apparel to younger women and men, picked Sona Chawla, president of e-commerce at drugstore chain Walgreen Co.
It's no mystery why these companies are looking for executives with deep e-commerce experience. They know consumers regularly start their shopping trips with web research, and often never make it to the mall, finding what they want online and buying it there and then. That accounts for why web store sales are growing at least five times faster than sales at bricks-and-mortar stores.
And the challenge for traditional retail is only getting tougher now that consumers are carrying the web with them as they shop, in the form of their Internet-connected smartphones. Retail chains are hustling to respond to this trend, as we describe in detail in the cover story of this month's issue of Internet Retailer magazine. I've no doubt their new board colleagues will be seeking the opinions of Tilenius and Chawla about how to respond to this phenomenon.
One other point that's noteworthy about today's announcements: They show the important role women play in online retailing. While the Internet's biggest names may be Mark, Sergey and Larry, not far behind them are executives named Sheryl and Marissa.
And the role of women in the retailing side of the Internet has been, if anything, even greater than at companies like Facebook and Google. Dawn Lepore was the CEO at drugstore.com for seven years, until leaving last year following Walgreen's acquisition of the web-only retailer; among other things, she sits on the boards of eBay and Coupons.com. Fiona Dias headed up e-commerce at Circuit City before moving to GSI Commerce and now playing a central role at ShopRunner, the online shipping and loyalty program that competes with Amazon Prime. And Fiona serves on the board of retail chain Advance Auto Parts. In another example, I recently interviewed Kirsten Green, the founder of venture capital firm Forerunner Ventures that recently raised $40 million to fund startup e-commerce companies.
There are plenty of other examples of women playing leading roles at e-commerce companies and web retailers. Maybe it has to do with women doing most of the shopping in U.S. households; more likely it's related to women doing better in school and accounting for a growing percentage of the top graduates from top colleges and business schools. Whatever the reason, some big brands are very anxious to have the advice of these well-respected female e-commerce leaders.

text: April Showers: Sip and See Shower by POPSUGAR Moms 4/26/09 0 Reactions 9 Shares Print 9 0 0 0 0 This week, we fete the mama and newborn who were not ready to be the centers of attention before the birth with a sip-and-see shower. Whether it is cultural superstition or a woman who has faced miscarriage or troubled pregnancies in the past, the sip-and-see shower celebrates the new family by welcoming relatives and friends with an opportunity to meet the newborn for the first time. Invitations What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Typically held a month or two after the baby is born, we're structuring this party as an open house to celebrate the entire new family – mother, father, and baby – because at this point, dad is likely changing his share of diapers and helping with feedings and the like. While some guests may bring a present, many will have already sent one upon the lil one's arrival. Download these invites fit for the occasion, here. 1 / 5 Decor What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Baby and sippy cups make great vessels for a variety of décor options for this event. Whether they are filled with flowers, strategically placed in potted plants or hung from banners, the cups will not only reinforce the theme of the shower, but will spark conversation among guests. We added a few silver baby cups to a homemade pennant banner, but if you are short on time, similar ones can be customized and purchased online. 2 / 5 Food and Beverage What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Open houses tend to run for long periods of time with guests coming and going so serving a hot meal isn't really an option. Instead, opt for food that is easy to eat while standing or while balancing a plate on your lap. Our spread included "make-your-own" Caesar salad with options like grilled chicken, shrimp and salmon, gazpacho, a full bar, cupcakes and petit fours. 3 / 5 Games What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 With an open house setting for our shower, we bypass traditional shower games in favor of one that will interest both the guys and girls in attendance, and be played throughout the day. When guests enter the home, ask them to fill out our fill-in-the blank "How Well Do You Know Baby" card (you can download it for free) and place it on a tray or in a basket. Assign one person to go through the cards every hour to declare a winner. 4 / 5 Mama's Attire What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Mommies should plan to shock and awe their friends with a fresh, fabulous, and fashionable glow while feeling comfortable and at ease. A chic nursing bra and blouse paired with elastic-waist pants will do the job. Accent the ensemble with flashy yellow flats (to keep grounded with the bebe) and a pair of stud earrings (to keep the babe from tugging) and the new mama is ready to hit the soiree running. Oh, and she best not forget that fab new diaper bag that is now her lifeline. 6 / 5 9 0 0 0 0 Read More Sip And See ShowerSip And SeeApril ShowersBaby Showers Baby Showers Sneak a Peek at Bachelorette Ashley Hebert's Intimate Baby Shower 3 weeks ago Baby-Q Bash Puts a Fun Spin on the Traditional Shower 7/23 A British Baby Shower Fit For a Prince 7/21 65 of the Best Baby Shower Themes 7/12 This Is What It Looks Like When the Kardashians Host a Baby Shower 7/10 A Fashion Designer's Chic Lavender Baby Shower 6/27 Link Love Mom forced to stop feeding baby homemade formula — BabyCenter Blog The easiest ways to save on organic food — The Stir A look inside Fergie's second baby shower — Celebrity Baby Scoop Danielle Jonas debuts her baby bump — People Moms & Babies 7 light and fresh recipes to take you through Summer — FitPregnancy Does where you live affect your risk for PPD? — The Bump Where to find the best deals on school supplies — Real Simple Now this is how you announce a pregnancy! — HuffPost Parents

Local businesses plan to kick sandbagging efforts into high gear.
The Chamber of Commerce and the Greater Fargo-Moorhead Economic Development Corporation have put out the call to members and their employees to get involved in sandbagging efforts.
Fargo and Cass County have a goal of filling a million sandbags over ten days starting next week. Chamber President and CEO Craig Whitney is encouraged.
His office has already had a number of calls from businesses interested in letting employees off to work at Sandbag Central.
The site in North Fargo opens Wednesday, April 3rd. He says they're looking for volunteers to work between 2pm and 7pm.

There are words in our language that have lost their luster. The word "epic" suffered from overuse and inflation, and it's now something that can be applied to especially delicious pistachios just as easily as The Iliad. Thanks, Internet.
But "travesty" is still a good one. People don't throw it around lightly. So when you read a headline like "The Oakland A's are a travesty", you have a pretty good idea that the author isn't going to serve a plate of waffles with maybe syrup. And Monte Poole doesn't disappoint. A selection of phrases used in the article:
... stomps all over the ideals of the game
… even Pete Rose, the disgraced hit king, has to scratch his head and wonder, once again, what is the definition of "integrity of the game."
MLB has an ownership team brazenly deciding to "throw" a season
Any high-minded rhetoric about integrity from the commissioner has to be considered disingenuous at best, downright fraudulent at worst
Those are just the first four I read. Every paragraph has a comparable doozy. It's a powerful piece. And while reading it, it's easy to forget the logical reasoning behind the A's rebuild:
- The Texas Rangers are a bit of a super-team, with six viable starters, two straight pennants, and a fearsome lineup
- The Los Angeles Angels have one of the best rotations in the game, and they added baseball's best hitter right after replacing baseball's worst hitter
- Oakland tried to add offense before last season, acquiring David DeJesus, Josh Willingham, and Hideki Matsui, and the plan flopped.
- Young pitchers with several years remaining on a cheap contract have a ton of trade value
- Rather than attempt to compete with the Rangers and Angels, the A's decided to maximize their assets now to prepare for a time when they can compete
Makes sense in a cold, clinical kind of way, especially in the offseason, when we don't actually have to watch a Taylor/Cowgill/Reddick outfield. And while a dispassionate look at Billy Beane's moves makes sense, it's worth remembering that by definition, being a fan means being anything but dispassionate. Take a look at the Facebook wall for the A's, for example. The poor person in charge of the page will post an innocuous trivia question, and it's quickly followed by ALL-CAPS RAGE in response to how the offseason has gone.
There's more to the story than just a bad team looking towards the future. This isn't just a garden-variety rebuild -- it's not a huge leap of logic to suspect that the Athletics' ownership had nefarious reasons for dismantling the young pitching staff. They want to move to San Jose. Their paid attendance was just over a million fans last season, and if there's any way they can dip under a million, well, that would sure help their case that a baseball team in Oakland is unsustainable. Wink wink.
The conspiracy theory paints the A's as a villain, something directly out of Major League. It's hard for me to buy, mostly because I always thought the Giants were supposed to be the villain. The Giants were supposed to be Devlin McGregor-- the evil super-corporation thwarting the plucky underdog to maintain their profit margin. Also, there's a good chance that the Giants will turn to a one-armed man for their clean-up duties at some point, so the analogy works on a couple of different levels.
More than anything, though, what the A's rebuild reminds us of is that there's a cost of rebuilding. Even if the strategy is sound -- and the A's really did get a lot of prospect value for Gio Gonzalez and Trevor Cahill -- there's going to be guaranteed resentment. And it's hard to write a better blueprint for resentment than how the A's are operating: openly pine for a new city and remove all of the fan favorites from the current city because of financial considerations.
The Athletics' rebuilding is good for the on-field future of the franchise. The Athletics' rebuilding is horribly discouraging for the rabid fans that have stuck with the team through some lean years. The Athletics' rebuilding is a craven, cynical, last-ditch effort to further ownership's ultimate goal. The Athletics' rebuilding makes perfect baseball sense. All of that can be true at the same time. As far as rebuilding projects go, this one is as unique and fascinating as it gets.

Bujumbura's Lake Tanganyika beaches are some of the best of any landlocked country in Africa and comparable with those in Malawi to the southeast. The sand is white and powdery, and the waves should keep the bilharzia at bay.

Labor official criticizes tally of social costs of casino gambling
"The flaws inherent in the center's analysis of expanded gambling have never been clearer," said Joe Casey, president of the New Hampshire Building and Construction Trades Council. "Only after the report was released did the center decide to acknowledge reality: that Massachusetts plans for gambling will cost New Hampshire at least $75 million a year if we do nothing, information that absolutely should have been included in their full report.
"Knowing this, it makes more sense than ever for New Hampshire to build its own casino that will create jobs and generate needed revenue," Casey said.
"It is unfortunate that our long-standing concerns about the efforts by the New Hampshire Center for Public Policy Studies continue to be justified," Casey said.
"We believe the social costs derived from the center's own assumptions are overstated," said Casey. "The center's unproven social cost model apparently suggests little to no net benefit to the state. That's a bold assumption that needs to be backed up by real-world examples that can be found elsewhere. For when we look to states, whether it be nearby Maine or states like Pennsylvania or Delaware, the concerns dictated by these untested assumptions simply haven't materialized.

Arguably there are more natural ketchups-Tiptree for example, but some brands become definitive and synonymous with a product-Sellotape, Hoover, Heinz ketchup. Whilst both Sellotape and Hoover have been superseded by better products, Heinz ketchup remains the standard and reference by which all others are judged. No issues with squeaky bottles. Yes the last few teaspoons are hard to extract from the bottle but it's still a much better conveyance design than the glass bottle, iconic though it may be.

Even friends' children who come over don't notice that it's reduced sugar and salt... I never buy the normal one now. And I've never noticed a squeaky bottle either.

Heinz is the best
I don't notice a squeaky bottle - perhaps Heinz have improved it. My only concern is that the sauce is a bit hard to get out of the bottle once it gets low.

Strange squeaky bottle
These bottles become strangely squeaky when you are about half way through the bottle. It's very loud, creaky and annoying! The tomato ketchup itself is of course the high quality and good taste you'd expect from Heinz.

My Family Health Portrait
by Kathy Steligo
Heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and other common health disorders often run in families. By recognizing the genetic factors that contribute to these diseases, family members can identify their own increased risk and take appropriate preventative actions.
Everyone benefits by gathering their family health history. Collection and interpretation of this information is the most practical personalized tool available. The complex data reflects the interaction of genetic, environmental, cultural, and behavioral factors shared by family members. Health care professionals can use this knowledge to design individualized care programs to prevent disease and promote overall health.
Recent polls indicate the vast majority of people believe family information is important to their health, although most have never attempted to gather such facts. Working with agencies of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Surgeon General Richard H. Carmona, M.D., M.P.H., launched the Family History Initiative, a public health awareness campaign to encourage Americans to collect family health data and share it with their physicians. This effort highlights Thanksgiving, a traditional time of family gatherings, as the perfect time to discuss and document family health histories. The first annual National Family History Day was Thanksgiving 2004.
My Family Health Portrait is an easy-to-use tool to help document generations of family members and their health disorders. The program prompts for information and then creates a family tree indicating health problems that may be passed from one generation to the next. The tool can be downloaded in English and Spanish at the U.S. Surgeon General's Family History Initiative website. A print copy may be ordered by calling 888-275-4772.

|Assistant Coach
The Yale women's crew will have an Olympian on staff starting in 2012-13. Sarah Trowbridge, who rowed in the double sculls at the London Olympics, has been named an assistant coach at Yale.
"Sarah will be a great addition to our program," said Yale head coach Will Porter. "She has a wealth of knowledge having rowed at Michigan and trained with the USA team. As a sculler, she will bring new ideas and a different prospective to our program. I have no doubt her tireless work effort as an athlete will carry over into her coaching and recruiting at Yale."
Trowbridge, a native of Guilford, Conn., has been a member of the USRowing Senior National Team since 2007. She won a gold medal in the double at the 2007 Pan American Games and competed in four World Championships, winning a silver medal in the quadruple sculls in 2009 and the straight four in 2008.
"I am really looking forward to joining the Yale team," Trowbridge said from England where she is preparing for the Olympics. "Coming to the position with such a recent history as an athlete will help me to relate my coaching more accurately to the rowers. I also hope to excite the women with my experiences on the Olympic team and encourage them to push the limits on their own speed."
Trowbridge also has coaching experience. She served as Georgetown's freshmen lightweight women's coach for two seasons. In 2008, she led the novice lightweights to a silver medal at the EAWRC Sprints. In addition, she has served as an assistant coach for the Bishop Dennis J. O'Connell High School and the Ann Arbor Rowing Club teams.
A 2006 graduate of Michigan, Trowbridge was a three-year letterwinner for the Wolverines. She helped Michigan to three top-10 finishes at the NCAA Championship and was a three-time recipient of an Athletic Academic Achievement Award, presented to athletes who have a 3.0 or better grade point average.

Myrath - Madness
Photos of Myrath live at Crossroads Live Club with the song Madness from the 'album "Desert Call" Lyrics Carrying more than I can stand, Falling into the abyss. Passing out, losing grip, Losing my faith, lost the battle. Lost my soul by the way. Here's my judgement I lived a life full of regrets. My disbelief, the hate and loneliness Consumed my soul from deep inside. I slowly lost my reason and my mind And fell into the madness. Waiting for my day to come Longing for eternal peace. Stop the battle, close my eyes for eternity. Madness. photos by Roberto Scorta this is just a demo video, no copyright infringement

Danger I reckon. Can't have some nutter nailing the ball from miles out into a crowded D area, would be completely mental. Would be absolutely great entertainment and myself as a midfielder would love it, but it's a tad dangerous.

If danger is proportional to how 'manly' a sport is, then I'm not entirely sure why it's still seen as a girls sport, other than the fact that girls used to play it (FTR the idea that it was invented by women is a total myth). Other than hurling, ice-hockey and being a front row forward in rugby union, I can't think of many more dangerous sports. I've seen some pretty horrendous injuries,mainly people getting smashed round the face with a stick/ball.
I think you can shoot from anywhere in bandy - essentially hockey on ice (they even do the same trick with penalty corners). Though they have a little more protection as they're using skates and thus could fall at higher speeds.

WASHINGTON, D.C -- FEMA has denied an appeal from Governor Quinn that would have given financial aid to nine counties in Illinois affected by the deadly tornadoes on November 17.
"Today's announcement is disappointing because it is based on outdated federal rules and not the serious need that exists in Washington, Brookport, Gifford, New Minden, Diamond and other hard-hit Illinois communities," said Quinn.
FEMA decided to deny the request based off a set formula. FEMA says the state should be able to pay $1.36 per resident. That means Illinois needs to rack up $17.8 million dollars worth of damage to qualify for aid. That didn't happen.
This means local governments that spent millions of dollars to help rebuild won't be reimbursed federally.
Washington Mayor Gary Manier spent seven hours with FEMA going over Washington's numbers.
The projected cost for the city is $26 million. According to FEMA, Washington did not meet the "formula" for receiving aid.
According to FEMA rules, a city is only allowed to complete debris removal for up to three days.
Manier said the city chose to go past that point because of the time of year that the tornado happened.
He said if they would have waited for homeowners insurance to come through they would still have a mess today due to the snow.
Manier believes the federal government has failed Illinois.
"I should have known early on when the President, right in his home state, didn't bother to come to Washington, Illinois to see the devastation that we were facing and continue to be faced with. Not just the first two or three days, but this is a 6 month to two year process for us. I'm just greatly disappointed," said Mayor Manier.
Mayor Manier says he will not put his staff through another FEMA appeal process.
His next step is to work with the state for assistance.
City Administrator Tim Gleason said cutting city employees is not an option.
He said he will continue to evaluate the budget and adjust accordingly.

Knowing what we know now, let me ask you something.
Would you let your own son play football?
It is a question parents have wrestled with for years. Risk vs. reward. Camaraderie vs. concussions. Valor vs. violence.
To some, its a no-brainer. Let em play.
To others, the brain is exactly the issue. Let em play, sure but make sure its another sport.
In the wake of the mounting and disturbing evidence about what football does to a mans mind and body, President Barack Obama weighed in on the topic in a recent interview with The New Republic. Obama told the magazine that hes a football fan, but that if he had a son he would think long and hard before deciding whether to allow the child to play football.
Its a hypothetical question, of course. Obama has two daughters.
What about you? Have you seen all these concussion-related studies? Do you know about all the former NFL players suing their own league? Do you think Junior Seau committed suicide because of the damage the game did to his brain thats what his family believes or that such an explanation is too easy?
Each household answers this debate differently. I cant tell you which way to go, but I will say you better fully inform yourself first. You know your kid better than anyone. Trust your own instincts, not anyone elses.
In the meantime, we all watch the games with an endless, voracious appetite.
Since September 2010, there have been just 43 TV shows broadcast in America that reached at least 30 million viewers which is a staggeringly high number in TV terms.
Of those 43 blockbusters, 30 were NFL games. Nine were telecasts from the London Olympics. Everything else put together had four.
But what exactly are we watching has the NFL become our own minor-league version of The Hunger Games?
Ive attended the NFL hall of fame induction a couple of times, and its quite an eye-opener. Dozens of old-time NFL greats come back each year. A lot of them have trouble walking and, sometimes, talking. And those were the best of the best. No one gets away from the game unscathed.
I have three boys who are 14, 12 and 9. They go to a small school that doesnt field a football team. They are basketball and soccer players, and have never expressed a serious interest in playing organized football outside school.
But I have decreed that their football games in the backyard with their cousins be two-hand touch. They hate this. They greatly prefer to tackle, and when Im out of town I know they sneak in a game of tackle football sometimes anyway.
You know this if you have ever raised a boy most of them are hard-wired to enjoy contact. Its difficult to keep them off each other.
Look, I love football. And it scares me. And like Obama, Ive never had to make this decision. But I would come down about where he does on it, in the gray area of think long and hard. I honestly dont know whether Id say yes or no.
This isnt a political issue. Im talking about Obama as a father, not a politician, and I find it interesting that hes ambivalent on Americas No.1 spectator sport.
Obama said that football fans are going to have to understand that the game will probably change over time to reduce the violence. The president says that some of those changes might make football, in his words, a bit less exciting but they will make the game better for the players.
And those of us who are fans, he said, maybe wont have to examine our consciences quite as much.
Those changes cant come quickly enough. For football today is both a hypnotically beautiful and a brutally cruel sport one that too often eats its own young.
