A community has been searching for days to find a missing companion dog that belongs to a cancer patient in Horn Lake, Miss.
"Latte," a German Shepherd, slipped away from his new owner on Sunday, Jan. 6, in Nesbit, a day after the canine was given to the patient.
Several animal lovers have been out searching for the dog ever since.
With each passing day, they're worried, and if they don't find the canine soon, this story might not have a happy ending.
"This man needs this companionship with this dog," said Shannon Benson, who is volunteering her time in trying to locate Latte.
Horn Lake Animal Control, Hernando Animal Control and Save Our Shepherds Rescue have all teamed up to help find Latte. They're focusing their search in an area near Tulane and Church roads, where the canine was last seen.
"He's a long-haired, black German Shepherd with tan legs," Benson said. "He's very friendly. He's about 80-90 pounds, so he may be a little intimidating if you come across him but he's a very friendly dog."
From handing out flyers to setting up food in traps at a city park, volunteers are doing what they can to bring Latte home. People shouldn't be scared if they happen to cross paths with Latte.
"A little girl was petting him the other day," Christopher said. "So, it's a friendly dog, a real friendly dog."
"Food always works," Benson added. "Get their sense of smell going and he should be a lap baby."
Benson says she's hopeful someone finds Latte soon because the pain his sick owner is feeling is something that won't go away until the missing dog is home.
"Please keep your prayers with this man and this dog and just please help us bring him home," she said.
If you have seen Latte, please call the Horn Lake Animal Shelter at 662-393-5857.

ComEd is questioning whether it must comply with the part of last year's landmark "smart grid" law.
The smart grid law allows ComEd to install smart meters in its northern Illinois territory, but it also requires ComEd to improve its reliability record.
ComEd had sold its smart grid program as a way to shorten outages by strengthening its infrastructure.
But now the company said it's gauging whether it can meet the new standards that the law established.
The smart grid program has been postponed until 2015.

The spice nutmeg may have a relatively narrow margin of safety.
Images thanks to Frank C. Müller via Wikimedia Commons
In my research on cinnamon I ran across a peculiar paper, speculating that certain natural constituents of spices such as nutmeg may form amphetamine compounds within the body a "sufficient to elevate the mood and help provide some added Christmas cheer" during the holiday season. This hypothetical risk was raised as far back as the 60's in the New England Journal, where it was pondered whether the age-old custom of adding nutmeg to eggnog arose from the psychopharmacological effects described in cases of nutmeg intoxication. Such cases evidently go back to the 1500's, where it was used as an abortifacent, to induce a miscarriage and in the 1960s as a psychotropic drug. The researchers conclude that "While nutmeg is much cheaper for use and probably less dangerous than heroine, you don't want to take too much. The toxic dose of nutmeg is two to three teaspoons, which I assumed no one would ever come close to unintentionally, until I saw this report in which a couple ate some pasta and collapsed, were hospitalized. A big mystery until the "husband revealed that he had accidentally added one third of a jar of nutmeg to the meal whilst cooking it." That's like about 4 teaspoons. I don't know they could have ate it. I imagine the poor wife just trying to be polite.
To see any graphs, charts, graphics, images, and quotes to which Dr. Greger may be referring watch the above video. This is just an approximation of the audio contributed by Jonathan Hodgson.
To help out on the site please email firstname.lastname@example.com
There are also potentially toxic compounds in certain types of cinnamon. See my last video Update on Cinnamon for Blood Sugar Control.
You can also overdo other healthful plant foods if you consume too much of the yellow curry spice turmeric, drink too much tea, eat too much soy, too much seaweed, too many broccoli sprouts, and even too many raw cruciferous vegetables.
One more video in this three part series on the safety of spices in The Safety of Tarragon next.

A long time ago, I accidentally used about 2 tablespoons of freshly ground mace in a swedish meatball recipe. My boyfriend and I ate it for dinner, and also for lunch the next day. We couldn't figure out why we felt so…stoned. I called my older brother, who had given me the (verbal) recipe, and he said, "Are you crazy? I said 2 pinches! Mace is part nutmeg. You could kill yourself with too much!"
You wonder how the couple ate the food, but honestly ours was quite good like that. :)
I knew it! I swear my dreams get funny if I've eaten nutmeg that day.
Wow. Yet: Interesting on more of an intellectual level than anything else, since as you said, it seems unlikely that someone would really eat such a dosage unless by accident. Thus, I have some disagreement with the video's description that nutmeg has a narrow safety of margin. That sounds like sensational headline-ism (which I hope this site will avoid!) – since that safety of margin seems pretty big to me given how much nutmeg one is normally likely to eat. The examples of someone getting hurt by nutmeg seem akin to me to be like the example of people hurting themselves with too much soy. They have to eat extreme amounts to get there. That's just my opinion of course.
That said, this is a good reminder that no matter how good something is for us, it should be taken in moderation. Since I had never heard anything bad said about nutmeg and I had assumed that the more, the better, I'm really glad to have viewed this video.
One bit I would have liked this video to include what a little sentence on whether Dr. Greger still thinks that nutmeg in moderation is a good part of a healthy diet. It seems in past videos, (perhaps I am remembering incorrectly) that Dr. Greger highly endorsed nutmeg – especially given all of its antioxidants. Just some feedback on the video.
FYI… That video is only 6 seconds long (including the intro tune). :-
Mark: I am able to see all 1:57 minutes. Perhaps there is something wrong with your browser? I can't help you trouble-shoot, but I thought you would want to know that it is working for some people.
The same happens for me using Safari on a Mac, and also on my iPad. However, if I go to the YouTube website I can view the entire video on my Mac and iPad. Can't imagine why this should be the case … maybe something to do with the embedding code.
Thank you everyone for helping us get to the bottom of this–hopefully it will never happen again!
FYI… That video is only 6 seconds long (including the intro tune). :-
One of my older friends recalled that as a child when he and his friends
were getting too rambunctious at his grandma's house, she used to take out her
nutmeg and slice off slivers and feed it to them until they mellowed out. He said they usually all fell asleep on the
sofas when she did that… hmmm.
Nutmeg oil is used to make a cola flavor in at least one natural diet soda. Given the diet soda intake of some people, I could see them getting up to the higher doses of nutmeg.
Way to break news that the effects of nutmeg have been known since the 1500′s… Exciting stuff.
Breaking News: Too much of any one thing is bad for you.
I heard this NPR story about nutmeg, and here's the related article (you can also listen to the story if you like): http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2012/11/26/165657050/no-innocent-spice-the-secret-story-of-nutmeg-life-and-death. The article is called "No Innocent Spice: The Secret Story Of Nutmeg, Life And Death" — it's about how nutmeg has a bloody history of imperialist powers competing to control its trade because it was popular among the rich for its hallucinogenic properties. If you listen to the audio, the Dutch actually wholesale slaughtered all the people who were native to the so-called "spice islands" (modern Indonesia) to control nutmeg. Also, the Dutch traded Manhattan to the British for the last of the nutmeg-growing islands they controlled.
What happened? I recently posted how much I enjoyed the longer video and now can't see any…Disappointing
Erowid has several articles discussing nutmeg's intoxicant properties. http://www.erowid.org/plants/nutmeg/
what exactly are the nutritional properties of Nutmeg and why does it make you high and become toxic past three teaspoons ?
I'm going to die.
I've seen people purposefully get stoned on nutmeg. as an observer it was funny watching people retch while trying to drink ground nutmeg that had been simmered in milk.
By definition, 'too much' of anything is bad for you. Without a quantity, each 'too' statement is meaningless.

Improv Louisville
Fourth Street Live
$40-$50; various times
While not known for standup, there's no denying the Wayans brothers' brand of funny. Though it's been a second since the two have paired up for a film, and the world is shifting for a Wayans' reboot (Damon Jr. as sitcom star, Keenan restarting "In Living Color" later this year), Shawn and Marlon have spent the last couple years on the club circuit. The forces behind "White Chicks," "Scary Movie 1 & 2" and the classic (yeah, I said it) "Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood" haven't given up on film, though they haven't announced any new projects (a return to the "Scary" franchise is possible for 2013). Don't expect a Smothers Brothers type show, though. Shawn typically opens with a short set, while Marlon closes out. —Damien McPherson

A rare snowstorm struck Atlanta this week, and one tale of heroism came out of it. Well, sort of a tale of heroism. More like one rich guy heroically picked up another rich guy on an ATV.
When Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman posted on Twitter that he'd been stuck in traffic for 5+ hours and was concerned he wouldn't be getting home on Tuesday, his former teammate, Larry "Chipper" Jones, sprung into action.
I'm thinking abt sending @RealCJ10 on rescue runs..any takers? Rescuing @FreddieFreeman5 now… http://t.co/WjFuT8qyBV—
Taylor Higgins (@lilgeorgiapeach) January 29, 2014
Jones got suited up in all sorts of crazy camo gear and went to go find his buddy.
Guess what?? It's really cold on the streets of Roswell and crabapple on a 4 wheeler! But my boy @FreddieFreeman5 was stranded. I got you!—
Chipper Jones (@RealCJ10) January 29, 2014
He found him, too, proving that when the apocalypse happens, Jones will be a survivor.
Thank goodness for @RealCJ10 ! Saved me on a 4 wheeler! http://t.co/ljXDEULJC9—
Freddie Freeman (@FreddieFreeman5) January 29, 2014
The best part is that Freeman was wearing what appears to be a leather jacket and hoodie and rode the whole way back to Jones' house on an ATV.
They made it home safe and sound! #thankful @RealCJ10 @FreddieFreeman5 http://t.co/KBO59VL1HU—
Taylor Higgins (@lilgeorgiapeach) January 29, 2014
A moment I'll never forget! ;)"@RealCJ10: He hugged me the whole way home!"—
Freddie Freeman (@FreddieFreeman5) January 29, 2014
Home after 11 hours…—
Freddie Freeman (@FreddieFreeman5) January 29, 2014
And before we all poke fun at Atlanta for not being able to handle a few inches of snow, remember that these cities do not typically have enough/any trucks built to pour salt out on the roads, so when they freeze, that's it. Game over. End times. Chipper Times.

David Byrne & Brian Eno 'Everything That Happens Will Happen Today'
Death Cab for Cutie 'The Open Door' EP
Depeche Mode 'Sounds of the Universe'
Wait, Depeche Mode? Really? Is Dave Gahan's eyeliner that commanding? I know Sounds of the Universe landed at #3 on the Billboard charts, and that the band scored top-billing on Friday night at Lollapalooza, but isn't any part of good old Field 5: Category 22 about artistic worth? Depeche Mode's 12th LP was mediocre even by their long-mediocre standards; a dated collection of over-produced synth-rock whose 60 minutes felt both bloated and empty; way too long yet featuring few moments of actual inspiration. Their nomination here is a reward for record sales, sure, but also a tribute to their longevity. When the band began in 1980, Dirty Projectors' 27-year-old leader Dave Longstreth, for example, was not even a twinkle in his pappy's eye.

UPDATE: The Sunday night live broadcast of "NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt" on campus has been canceled due to Hurricane Sandy, according to an e-mail sent by Brian Eckert, Richmond's media relations director. "Today" will broadcast from campus no matter the weather conditions. Audience members are asked to arrive at Stern Plaza after 6 a.m. The program will be shot live from 8- 9 a.m. Sunday.
UPDATE: The Romney Rally has been postponed due to Hurricane Sandy.
The University of Richmond will be at the center of the 2012 Presidential Election this Sunday.
NBC will broadcast two shows live from campus with anchor Lester Holt. The two shows, "Today" from 8-9 a.m. and "Nightly News" beginning at 6:30 p.m., will sandwich Republican Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney's rally in the Robins Center, which begins at 4:15 p.m. The decision to broadcast from the university was made before NBC producers knew about Romney's plans, said Kim Cornett, Holt's producer at NBC.
"We call that good timing," Cornett said. "It will help us find the spotlight so much more on Virginia and the Richmond area. We will certainly have our correspondents who have been on the trail with Romney be part of our Sunday broadcasts."
The exact location of the broadcasts has yet to determined, but NBC is encouraging students, alumni and members of the public to come and be a part of the "Today" show crowd, Cornett said.
"['Nightly News'] is more of a news show, so there's not a crowd per se, but folks are welcome to come and watch from behind the scenes," she said.
As part of the "Today" broadcast, NBC is taping interviews with a panel of undecided voters on Thursday to show on air Sunday, Cornett said. Some will be Richmond students and others will be members from the area who NBC found, said Linda Evans, assistant director of media and public relations for the university.
"We're just working on getting a nice mix of people, both age and from diverse backgrounds to talk about why they haven't made up their minds yet," Cornett said. "What issues are important to them? If the debates and ads have swayed them in one way or not and what will help them make their final decision?"
She said it was important, as journalists, to help inform the public that this election is still undecided with just two weeks left until voting.
NBC producers will also be taping an interview with Ernest B. McGowen III, an assistant political science professor at Richmond, Evans said.
Richmond is the second of three stops where NBC and Holt are broadcasting live, Cornett said.
"This Battleground Tour, which is what we're calling it, is focusing on three key battleground states that both campaigns are paying close attention to," she said.
Last Sunday, NBC and Holt were at the University of Tampa campus in Florida, she said. After Richmond, they will be heading somewhere in Ohio the following Sunday, she said.
The university was chosen as the Virginia location for basic logistical reasons and because half of the campus is in Henrico County, a key swing area, Cornett said.
"The campaigns have focused heavily on Henrico the last few months and, as we head into the final two weeks, there also will be a lot of folks on the ground from both Romney and the Obama camps," she said.

NewsWest 9
ODESSA - The City of Odessa may have banned synthetic drugs. But one family claims, the drugs are still being sold. They claim one of their loved ones bought it in town.
A viewer emailed NewsWest 9 telling us her family member was using synthetic drugs.
She claims it was bought at the Smoke Alley Shop in Odessa. So we decided to stop by the store and see for ourselves.
Smoke Alley off of 16th and Texas in Odessa is receiving a lot of attention lately but for the wrong reasons.
Typically, stores that sell smoke accessories are in the limelight because some allegedly sell synthetic drugs.
Some are commonly known as synthetic marijuana, "Spice" or "K2." According to the Office of National Drug Control Policy, they are most often sold as herbal incense, potpourri, bath salts and jewelry cleaner.
The city ordinance passed by the City of Odessa in September regulates the sale of these products.
The ordinance strictly says that if they are sold within 800 feet from certain establishments, such as a church, a school, a park or a residential zoning district, that is a violation.
The viewer who e-mailed NewsWest 9 said her family member bought synthetic drugs which were sold in a tin rectangular bin.
When NewsWest 9 stepped inside the store, NewsWest 9 found exactly what the viewer was talking about. A store representative spoke with us and only let the cameras of NewsWest 9 inside to get an exclusive look at the products.
We came to find that inside these tin boxes was purely potpourri. Each box has a different scent that consumers can place under their seat in the car, in the bathroom or where ever they choose.
Since July, Smoke Alley has been under new management.
They say their main goal is to remain a clean establishment and steer away from the stereotype that they sell illegal items.
The store representative said that no one under the age of 19 is allowed in the store because she knows that a high school is nearby and prefers not to have any of the store's products in the hands of minors.
Smoke Alley invites anyone who might be suspicious of what is sold to go inside and see for themselves that it is in fact a clean establishment.

VIDEO: Roberto Baggio is 47 today. He had the finest ponytail since Segal and scored some glorious goals. Like this: http://t.co/m4uAVSnLGI— Paddy Power (@paddypower) February 18, 2014
Scotland interim head coach Scott Johnson insists he does not care about what his critics have got to say about him.
The Dark Blues boss will lead his side to Rome this weekend ahead of a potential Six Nations wooden spoon decider against Italy.
It comes after two dismal defeats to Ireland and England in which the Scots have conceded almost 50 points and scored just six.
The humiliating 20-0 loss to the Auld Enemy at Murrayfield a fortnight ago - the first time the Scots had failed to trouble the scoreboard against their neighbours since 1978 - has in particular sparked a furious backlash from fans and former players.
Peter Wright, the 21-time capped prop, labelled Johnson a "joker" after the defeat while ex-England coach Sir Clive Woodward claimed his side would struggle to beat any of the 12 sides playing in the Aviva Premiership south of the border.
Asked about the criticism, though, Johnson said: "I haven't given it a second thought to be honest. All I care about is the team - did we perform well? We didn't. Should we be disappointed? Yes we should.
"It's amazing - the people that judge you the most know you the least. I am happy with who I am. I ain't changing. And I don't really care what they say about me.
"Everyone is entitled to their opinion, I'm not going to hold it against them. The people I care about are the people that are close to us."
Former England prop Matt Stevens has agreed a two-year deal with the Durban-based Sharks in South Africa.
Stevens, who was born in Durban but qualified to represent England through his parents, will join the Sharks in August.
The Sharks announced on their official website that 31-year-old Saracens forward Stevens will link up with them ahead of this year's Absa Currie Cup competition.
Stevens won 39 England caps and toured with the British and Irish Lions to New Zealand in 2005 and Australia last year.
Sharks chief executive and ex-Saracens hooker John Smit said: "Matt's versatility on both sides of the scrum, and his experience, makes him a great acquisition to our squad.
"We look forward to welcoming him to The Sharks family."
And Sharks rugby director Jake White added: "Matt has a burning desire to be a part of our Currie Cup campaign and is a great signing for us."
Brian Ashton today warned England that in Jonny Sexton they will face the best fly-half in the Northern Hemisphere when they tackle Ireland on Saturday.
And the former England head coach is also urging Stuart Lancaster to quickly identify a back-up to his own No10, Owen Farrell, to avoid problems at next year's World Cup.
Ashton, who guided England to the 2007 World Cup Final, sees Lancaster's decision to go into Six Nations matches without a specialist No10 in the replacements as a real gamble.
Head coach Lancaster has ignored Bath's uncapped George Ford in this campaign, preferring to move either Billy Twelvetrees from centre or bring on full-back Alex Goode should Farrell get injured.
The disruption that would cause England, particularly against a side featuring Sexton, worries Ashton.
"Sexton is without doubt the best outside-half in the Northern Hemisphere with a good variation to his game and an understanding of what is needed," said Ashton. "This is allied to the rest of the team who have lots of experience and they are going to be a tough nut to crack at Twickenham."
Pepe Reina is a doubt for Napoli in their Europa League tie with Swansea City on Thursday.
The Spanish goalkeeper, who is currently on loan from Liverpool, picked up a knee injury during their win over Roma in the Coppa Italia semi-final second leg.
Napoli striker Gonzalo Higuain may also miss Thursday's game at the Liberty after hurting his back in his side's 2-0 win over Sassuolo.
Gokhan Inler and Jose Callejon are set to play after they were both suspended at the weekend.
Sam Burgess would be best suited to a role in the centre in rugby union, according to former dual-code international and England coach Andy Farrell.
England will not interfere in Bath's plans for the big-money import from South Sydney Rabbitohs though, Farrell pledged.
Wigan great Farrell swapped league for union in 2005, joining Saracens before winning 21 caps with England.
Despite a near-unrivalled league pedigree, Farrell struggled to settle into one specific role in union, flitting between back row and midfield.
England star Burgess will leave his league status behind when he joins Aviva Premiership club Bath in October, the west country club having bankrolled a £500,000 transfer fee.
Bath will wait until Burgess settles in at the Recreation Ground before choosing a position for the line-breaking 25-year-old.
Farrell believes a slot in the centres would be the perfect place for the former Bradford man to start though.
"I don't suppose it's for me or (England head coach) Stuart (Lancaster), it's for his club really," said Farrell of the already lively debate on what position Burgess will assume.
"What normally happens is a player gets used to the game and it becomes clear and obvious to himself where he thinks he's going to make the most impact.
"The modern-day coach and player has to work in tandem, otherwise what's the point unless you can get the best out of the player?
"It will become clear and obvious once Sam settles in."
Asked which position would offer the easiest transition from league to union, Farrell said:

Decorated Ireland centre Brian O'Driscoll will face England for the final time on Saturday before entering retirement at the end of the season.
Andy Farrell, who coached the 35-year-old during last summer's British and Irish Lions tour to Australia, insists O'Driscoll remains a dangerous player despite entering the final stages of his career.
"Brian is certainly a threat. If you've seen some of the performances he's put in already this year, he's been spectacular," Farrell said.
"Leinster's game against Northampton at Franklin's Gardens earlier this season shows what he can do for his side.
"He can turn a game on its head with the special skills and knowledge he has.
"What he brings even more so these days is a unity to the team and a real know-how of how to win big games because he's been there more times than anyone else."
Juan Mata reckons the world's biggest stars will still want to come to Manchester United this summer despite the club's recent troubles.
With 12 matches of the season remaining United find themselves in the unusual position of being way off the pace in the hunt for Champions League qualification.
David Moyes' side sit 11 points adrift of the top four in seventh position, but Mata is optimistic the Scot can still lead United into the Champions League.
Even if United do qualify for Europe's biggest club competition, it is clear that major changes to the squad are still required.
Vice chairman Ed Woodward confirmed last week that Moyes would be given substantial backing in the summer transfer window, and Mata is sure the club remain an attractive proposition for the planet's biggest players despite their current predicament.
"I don't know what will happen in the summer but the manager said the other day at a press conference that he's going to be signing players," Mata said.
"I think this club is at a stage of change, but I can tell you that the best players in the world will always arrive."
Dragons prop Francisco Chaparro was today suspended for a period of 10 weeks following his red card for a dangerous "tip" tackle in the RaboDirect PRO12 match at Leinster on Friday night.
The independent RaboDirect PRO12 disciplinary committee, chaired by Pamela Woodman, sitting alongside Iain Goodall and Douglas Hunter (all Scotland), having viewed video footage of the incident and listened to submissions by and on behalf of the player, determined that the offence committed was at the top end of the IRB's scale of seriousness.
In reaching its decision, the committee took into account aggravating factors, including the need for a deterrent for the type of tackle, together with mitigating factors such as the player's previous good record and conduct at the hearing.
THE Welsh Rugby Union have agreed to loan the regions £660,000 to ease the cash-flow problems created by the with-holding of Heineken Cup cash.
The four regions have not received the latest instalment of the money they are due from Heineken organisers ERC for taking part in European cup rugby - around £165,000 each.
ERC decided to postpone all payments while it sought detailed legal and professional advice, with the board to meet to discuss the matter further tomorrow.That had left the Welsh regions - the Blues, Scarlets, Ospreys and Dragons - facing a major financial headache.
The WRU reacted by announcing they were ready to consider offering a loan facility to the regions to temporarily cover the postponed ERC payments.And the regions, in turn, responded to this by making a request for loans, which has today been approved by the WRU board.
A WRU statement said: "The WRU board has approved requests from the four regional organisations for financial assistance, in the form of interest free loans totalling £660,000, to help their cash flow as a result of the recent decision of the ERC Board not to release financial distributions to participants in ERC's tournaments.
"In a statement on Wednesday 5th February 2014, ERC explained that the unanimous decision to postpone financial distributions followed preliminary professional advice received by the ERC Board and was taken in the best interests of ERC."
We are building up to the big Michael Laudrup press conference at 4pm where the Dane is expected to reveal his version of events which led to his sacking from the Liberty Stadium earlier this month.
Log on here to see up to the minute coverage of events at the conference which is taking place at Heathrow Airport.
The Welsh Rugby Union have released a statement in relation to Rhys Priestland signing a new contract with the Scarlets rather than accept a Union central contract.
The statement read; "The Welsh Rugby Union is delighted that another key international player has committed his future to a Welsh rugby Region.
"This follows the recent announcement that the Wales centre, Scott Williams, is also to remain with the Scarlets under a new player contract.
"The decision of Rhys and other key players to commit to Welsh regions is being seen as a positive signal for the game in Wales at a time when lucrative offers are being made for players to move abroad.
"The WRU remains cautiously optimistic that discussions related to the agreement of a European cup competition format for next season are nearing resolution.
"The WRU and the regions are currently negotiating a new Rugby Services Agreement which will include terms for player welfare and release for international duty.
"The WRU has declared the governing body is prepared to negotiate national contracts with key players the regions have been unable to negotiate renewed contracts with, so they can remain in Wales with their region."
The Welsh front five were overpowered by their Irish opponents in Dublin 10 days ago.
But Ospreys second-row Alun Wyn Jones is hoping there will be no repeat in the Six Nations showdown against France at the Millennium Stadium on Friday evening.
Injury might have ruled out Aaron Ramsey out of the Champions League last 16 clashes but the Arsenal and Wales midfielder is still looking forward to watching Europe's premier club cup competition.
Exciting to have the @ChampionsLeague back tonight. Going to be a great game in Manchester, fancy Barca— Aaron Ramsey (@aaronramsey) February 18, 2014
There might be some people doubting whether even the highly talented new convert Sam Burgess will be able to adapt to union after signing for Bath.
But Hollywood actor Russell Crowe has no such qualms. You might wonder how he can provide an expert opinion but Crowe is the co-owner of South Sydney Rabbitohs, the league club Burgess will leave to follow his union dream.
Burgess' high profile cross-code transfer to Bath was announced on Monday with the club reportedly paying the Rabbitohs a fee in the region of £270,000 for the rugby league star's signature.
The Rabbitohs had hoped to keep Burgess at the club a while longer as we was contracted until 2016, but Crowe is adamant Burgess will succeed in union.
"I expect Sam will do well in rugby union," Crowe is quoted as saying in the Sydney Morning Herald. "He has been an inspirational asset at our club and Bath will benefit from Sam's presence the same way Souths have.
"He has a long challenging journey in front of him, but he is a competitor and a dedicated professional. I respect his ambition and I appreciate all he has brought to South Sydney."
After missing training today, Ireland centre Brian O'Driscoll is a fitness doubt for Saturday's showdown against England at Twickenham.

It emerged earlier this month that double world triathlon champion Helen Jenkins will return to action in New Zealand next month after last competing in the Olympics at London 2012.
Now with the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow later this summer, former Ironman world champion Leanda Cave also has her eyes on a place in Scotland.
The 35-year-old is hoping to drop down to the triathlon distance to form a dream team of all Welsh world champions alongside Jenkins and current incumbent Non Stanford. It would be Cave's third Games after winning silver in Manchester in her first Commonwealth race 12 years ago.

National cyber security experts and technology business leaders gathered Oct. 9 and 10 at the Minneapolis Convention Center for the second annual Cyber Security Summit.
Earlier this month, Governor Dayton joined governors from across the country when he declared October as Cyber Security Awareness Month to highlight the importance of empowering citizens, businesses, government and schools to improve their cyber security preparedness.
To help kick off the month, the State of Minnesota took part in the 2012 Cyber Security Summit, which brings together leaders from the government, business, and non-profit sectors to collaborate on improving digital security. The event featured speakers from all over the world sharing their insights on cyber topics – from the industry's enormous growth potential (it's expected to increase by nearly 80% over the next few years) to the growing pervasiveness of cyber threats (approximately $3 trillion of innovation lost by cyber-attacks each year).
Minnesota Department of Public of Safety Encourages Teens to Buckle Up. Photo Credit State Farm
Teens, here's your chance to finally go viral: Students in grades 9–12 can produce a 30-second TV public service announcement promoting the importance of buckling up or the dangers of distracted driving. The top teen will win $1,000 and their spot will air during the MTV Video Music Awards in 2013. Cash prizes awarded by AAA.
Deadline for Buckle Up and Pay Attention, Teens! entries is April 15, 2013. Check out the rules, find tips and view previous contest-winning spots online.
Driver inexperience, risk-taking behavior, distractions, nighttime driving and seat belt non-use are the leading reasons traffic crashes are the leading killer of teens. Parents are encouraged to provide supervised driving experience for their teen in a variety of conditions and road types, especially during the first year of licensure. Parents may also use a teen driver contract to establish road rules, reinforce the laws and follow through with consequences.
A rider on Minnesota's newest mountain biking trail at Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area
Ask any Minnesotan—even those who don't bicycle much—and chances are they'll know that the State of Minnesota and the City of Minneapolis are consistently ranked among the top bike-friendly locations across the nation. But what many Minnesotans—especially those who don't bicycle much—probably don't know is that there is a great resource available online that is dedicated to Minnesota bicycling.
Pedal Minnesota is the result of a partnership between a wide range of Minnesota groups and government agencies, all centered on the goal of getting Minnesotans pedaling. The site features a map of trails and bike-friendly roads (as well as worthwhile locations like bike shops, parks, and food/lodging) across the state; a list of resources for individuals, communities, and businesses; a page highlighting the many bike events occurring across Minnesota; and a "Pedal Central" blog, featuring articles on all aspects of Minnesota biking, such as tips on keeping cool while bicycling this summer.
In recognition of the important role that bicycling plays in Minnesota—economically, recreationally, and as a form of transportation—Governor Mark Dayton proclaimed last May to be Minnesota Bike Month, in an effort to also promote further efforts for bike safety. Last October was also proclaimed to be Safe Routes to School Month by Governor Dayton, in collaboration with the Minnesota Department of Health (a PedalMN partner), to promote the positive health and academic benefits that accompany students who make a habit of walking or bicycling to school each day.
An exhibit on E-Waste presented by the MPCA at the 2011 Minnesota State Fair as part of their Eco Experience facility.
In a world increasingly dependent on smartphones and laptops, the issue of responsibly disposing of these electronics is becoming more and more pressing. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) reports that in the last year, Minnesota took in nearly 33 million pounds of electronic waste for recycling, making Minnesota a national leader in collections of e-waste for recycling.
What is electronic waste? E-waste, as it's called, is what's created when electronic materials are disposed. This can include cellphones, computers, printers, televisions, digital cameras, etc., and as technology continues to advance and we continue to upgrade our devices, the amount of e-waste we produce continues to rise as well.
Unlike throwing away a piece of paper, however, disposing of electronics can have a huge impact on the environment and on our health; e-waste contains high levels of lead, cadmium, and other chemicals that can pollute the ground and water supply if they aren't properly disposed of. Electronic waste should always be taken to certified recycling facilities that are trained to manage these hazardous chemicals.
As we celebrate our history and take pride in our nation this July 4th, the Dayton Administration and the Minnesota Department of Public Safety (DPS) encourage Minnesotans to take extra care and caution while behind the wheel.
In Minnesota, July 4th has been the deadliest day on the road for the last three years, resulting in 15 traffic deaths over the 24-hour period. "The spike in drinking and driving deaths during the Fourth of July is a clear and simple reminder why Minnesotans need to plan ahead for a sober ride" says Donna Berger, director of the DPS Office of Traffic Safety. During the holiday travel period, 66 percent of traffic deaths are a result of drunk driving.
With a stated mission "to create a culture for which traffic fatalities and serious injuries are no longer acceptable," The DPS, along with the Departments of Health and Transportation, the State Patrol, and others, have started the Toward Zero Deaths (TZD) initiative which works through "education, engineering, enforcement, and emergency medical and trauma services" to improve road safety for Minnesota citizens.
Seniors are the targets of financial fraud every day. To prevent the elderly from falling victim to financial fraud, the Minnesota Department of Commerce has joined in the fight against elder investment fraud through their training program "Preventing Elderly Investment Fraud" on World Elder Abuse Awareness Day that focused on prevention through education.
Many seniors become susceptible to investment fraud and financial exploitation because of age-related factors, illnesses and cognitive impairment. It is crucial that the elder populations are protected from investment fraud because senior citizens control nearly 70 percent of the nation's wealth. According to a 2010 Investor Protection Trust (IPT) Elder Fraud Survey, one out of every five citizens over the age of 65 has already been victimized by a financial swindle.
The Minnesota Department of Commerce recognizes the vulnerability of seniors and through their training program addressed the need to educate health care providers about how to prevent seniors from falling victim to investment fraud. Health care providers are key in the detection and prevention of elder abuse, therefore providers need instruction on how to spot and report fraud and financial abuse within the elderly and vulnerable adult populations.
As Memorial Day weekend approaches, the office of the Governor and the Minnesota Department of Public Safety (DPS) urge you to drive safely and buckle up — extra Click It or Ticket seat belt patrols are on roads now.
In 2011, there were 365 (preliminary) traffic deaths in the state – far below the 568 deaths in Minnesota in 1990, but far higher than anyone wants. At this point in 2012, there have been 99- traffic deaths in the state.
The DPS, along with the Departments of Health and Transportation, the State Patrol , and other organizations, has started the Toward Zero Deaths (TZD) initiative. More information on TZD can be found here: http://www.minnesotatzd.org/. More information on safe driving tips and statistics can be found at the DPS Office of Traffic Safety website.
As you travel this weekend and throughout the summer — the deadliest time on Minnesota roads — follow these four basic steps to help ensure safer roads:
Buckle up. More than half the motorists killed in crashes are not wearing a seat belt.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation today announced its 2012 construction program, which will include 316 economy-boosting projects in the Metro and in Greater Minnesota. This year's state highway construction projects include work on the Interstate I-694/Highway 10 interchange in the Twin Cities and completion of construction on I-35 in Duluth. Other projects will improve safety at railroad crossings, repair weather-damaged seawalls and docks, and repair runways and terminals at regional airports.
"MnDOT is focused on improving our highways and maximizing the capacity of the system," said Commissioner Tom Sorel. "Our transportation system is vital to the state's economy and to its citizens' quality of life. We want to ensure that it provides a safe and efficient trip for all users."
A new study by the Minnesota Department of Public Safety shows 68 lives and over 300 injuries have been avoided in Minnesota thanks to the state's 2009 Primary Seat Belt Law. Under the primary seat belt law, officers can ticket drivers for not wearing a seat belt without any other law being broken. Since the law went into effect, observed seatbelt use in the state has risen from 87 percent in 2008 to 93 percent in 2011.
"The findings of this study remind us again how vital it is for Minnesotans to buckle up — every seat, every ride," said Public Safety Commissioner Mona Dohman. Seatbelt use reduces the risk of fatal injury in a passenger automobile by 45 percent. Unbuckled motorists are six times more likely to be injured in an accident than motorists wearing seat belts. Minnesotans that are least likely to buckle up and more likely to die in crashes are young drivers. This group represents only 24 percent of licensed drivers in Minnesota, yet they account for half of serious unbelted injuries.
The study by the Department of Public Safety showed 70 percent of Minnesota motorists are in favor of the Primary Seatbelt Law, up from 62 percent just before the law was passed. As more motorists use seatbelts, the drop in injuries is also saving the state money. $45 million in hospital bills have been avoided thanks to motorists using their seatbelts.
"As Minnesota continues its efforts to move roadway deaths towards zero, this research shows that seat belts are a critical tool in that effort," said MnDOT Commissioner Tom Sorel. It's important that every Minnesota motorist remembers to use a seatbelt. Buckling is the easiest, least expensive way to help lower traffic deaths in Minnesota.

CATEGORIES Drama, Independent, Romance, Casting, Scripts, Cinematical Indie, CinematicalEither the little Parker-Broderick is in need of a cushy college fund, or Matthew Broderick is loving the push of a many-movies year. After making it big in the '80s (ah, Ladyhawke and Ferris...), the actor has always taken it easy, tackling 1-3 films a year, with a few off here and there. The one exception was 2004, where he had 3 features plus one direct-to-video flick. Granted, he had a lot of stage work to also keep him busy. Now he's got 5 new films on the way, starting with Jerry Seinfeld's Bee Movie next month, and it looks like 2008 could be the year of the cinematic Broderick.
Variety reports that the actor has signed on to lead an indie feature called Wonderful World with Brown Sugar star and Tony nominee Sanaa Lathan. Joshua Goldin, one of the writers on Darkman, has written the feature and will take the directorial chair when production starts next week in Shreveport, Louisiana. Not much is being said about the film, other than that it "centers on a depressed, divorced, and unemployed father who finds solace in his Senegalese roommate's sister." The film should be a nice reprieve from his usual comic stints, which will include Finding Amanda and Diminished Capacity next year.

The comparisons between Danny Amendola and Wes Welker are impossible to avoid.
Same college (Texas Tech), similar size (Amendola is 5'10, 183, Welker, 5'9, 190), both tough slot receivers who hit unrestricted free agency in 2013 as the market looks to determine the true value of a productive slot receiver.
Amendola can't hold a candle to Welker's stats, but the fact Amendola is 27 and Welker is 31 makes the Rams' leading receiver over the last three seasons perhaps more likely of landing a longer deal.
In the time Amendola has been healthy, he's one of the better possession receivers in the game. That spot is being more and more occupied by thicker, more athletic receivers as the current trend of passing permeates the game, but there's a market for a player with 196 catches in 42 career games.
The league just isn't sure what that market is right now.
Welker played through the 2012 season with the franchise tag, and Minnesota's Percy Harvin is publicly displeased with his contract. There aren't many receivers who play the slot exclusively who put up the kinds of numbers those three have. In Amendola's case, he was undrafted in 2008, and bounced from the practice squads of the Eagles and Cowboys before ending up on the Rams.
He racked up 128 catches from 2009-10 in St. Louis, becoming a favored target of quarterback Sam Bradford. The team struggled offensively, and Amendola didn't have much by way of dynamic playmaking ability, but he lead the league with 2,364 all-purpose yards in 2010.
A gutty player with soft hands, Amendola was a big third-down target for the Rams, and despite a freakish clavicle injury in 2012, could still command a yearly average in the $5-6 million range.
The Rams appear contented to let Amendola explore the market, and it seems reasonable for a player who wasn't drafted and didn't get paid nearly as much as some of his statistically similar comparables did to want to get top dollar for his services. That said, Amendola could be an outstanding complimentary receiver in an efficient passing offense.

My son and I went on one last summertime run. We agreed that it would probably be a good idea to check out the route to his new school: A Middle School. I already knew the way, and so did he, but I am having a harder time than he is about the distinction between "Junior High" and "Middle School." He's going into sixth grade, and in my world, he's still in elementary school. Not so in his world. He's about to become a little fish in a big pond.
With that in mind, we headed up the hill and wound through the neighborhood that makes his new path. On a Sunday morning, I tried to imagine the stream of children heading out each day on their way to their appointment with math and science and language arts. I thought about the backpacks and lunchboxes that had to be one notch cooler than the year before, since Dora The Explorer probably wouldn't quite pass the peer review for middle schoolers. My son lives in a world of Legos and car magazines, the latter of which will certainly ingratiate him with any number of kids at lunchtime. That is, provided they want to listen to him expound on the handling of the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4.
Once we got to the steps of his new school, I told him that I wished that I could be with him tomorrow morning, but I would be there in his heart and his head. He smiled in that borderline sheepish way that middle school boys have, and said, "Yeah Dad," and he gave me our special power-thumb connection. Then he looked up and asked, "Can we go home my way? It's shorter."

Kobe Bryant received his typical rest to begin the fourth quarter with the L.A. Lakers trailing 83-77 in Game 5 against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Kobe was clearly L.A.'s best player all night long, really the only scorer keeping the Lakers in the game and putting pressure on OKC. He sat for the first 1 minutes, 49 seconds of the fourth.
And the Thunder took that opportunity to score eight straight and open up a 91-77 before Mike Brown put Kobe back in.
Kobe's re-entry wasn't a great salve -- the Lakers still trail by double digits moments later, with the game winding down -- but the damage had been done. For better or worse, the fortunes of the Lakers in this game relied solely on Kobe Bryant. And he sat on the bench while those fortunes were decided. Neither fate nor Kobe with a mic in his face will smile kindly on the two-minute lay-off.

I can't tell anymore, the articles are mostly about Auburn, but all the commentary is almost exclusively from Seminoles fans? The articles on Tomahawk Nation must not be that interesting....or maybe it shut down. I wouldn't know, because I don't go to other teams websites to tell them how much they suck.
But since we DO have all these Seminole fans wandering around our site waiting to tell any Auburn fan who dares to come on the Auburn SBNation site, how deluded they are, how bad they are going to lose, how big and bad the FSU offense and defense are, and lastly how all the numbers prove this, let me say this. YOU ARE RIGHT! YOU ARE RIGHT!! YOOOOUUUU AAAAARRRRREEEE RIIIIIIIIGGGHHHHT!!!
Auburn fans ARE deluded! Jeez I wonder why? Nobody that isn't in a mental institution predicted we would be playing for the National Title this year. Most of us were cautiously optimistic that we might get to 8-4, the insane predicted 10-2. To be 12-1....to be SEC Champions...to be playing in the BCS title game is a DREAM. We can't believe it either, so why not believe we can win??
FSU is supposed to win....BIG...they have superior talent all over the field. Of course that was also said about LSU, A&M, UGA, Bama and Mizzou. Even Ole Miss. All were favored to beat Auburn. Even gimpy UGA was a 3 pt favorite on the road. They were not SUPPOSED to win, but save for the LSU game, they did. You'll have to forgive us for not paying attention to the point spread.
The FSU offense and defense IS big and bad, nobody denies it. They are undefeated and untested (that's a good thing BTW) and yes the NUMBERS say you will win big time. Of course, those same numbers say we should be 7-5 or 8-4. Those same numbers say you should be playing Alabama.....or Ohio State....or Baylor. Numbers don't lie...they just can't tell a story. They can't tell you that Auburn has grown a heart and confidence. The numbers can't tell you that the players BELIEVE in Coach Malzahn when he told them after EVERY game how proud he was of how hard they played but that they still had a lot of hard work to and improvement to do. He said " we are going like this!!" (holding his arm out at a 60 degree angle), to signify that they weren't where they needed to be but they would keep getting better. This isn't the same team that barely beat Washington State or Mississippi State or that lost to LSU. The numbers might tell you that they are, but you would be very foolish to believe that.
What makes college football so exciting and enthralling is that you have players with NFL bodies encasing mostly adolescent brains. This combination leads to VERY unpredictable behavior. If talent meant everything the only folks playing in the BCS games would be Alabma, Texas, USC, UGA, LSU and the Florida schools. Coaching, hard work, determination and a hundred other factors are the fires that forge championship teams. If you work hard enough.....you might even get lucky too.
I know everyone says that Auburn is lucky....that they CAN'T have any magic left.....they may have beaten UGA and Bama and Mizzou but they CAN'T BEAT FSU!! Why? Because everything and everyone says so!!! Only a fool would EXPECT Auburn to win. So in a world overrun by fools, why is everybody jumping on the Seminole bandwagon?
We all know that the statistics and the experts will not be on the field on January 6th. Neither will the Auburn team from September. I do not expect Auburn to win, I BELIEVE they will win. So WE GET IT, we can't substantiate with statistics why Auburn should win. We can't substantiate with statistics why Auburn won half their games.....but they did. Yet here they are, Golden Four Leaf Clover Encrusted Horseshoe lodged firmly in their colon, in Pasadena getting ready to play the Undefeated, Unchallenged, Untested Almighty Incredinoles. Seminole fan, you SHOULD hoist the crystal on Monday, on this there is NO DEBATE. Now all you have to do is go out and do it. And if you don't....I expect those of you that have felt the need to tell us how great your team is and how we didn't have a chance...well, I'm sure you will be the first to congratulate us on an Auburn victory and tell us how wrong you were.
So enjoy College and Magnolia.....and yes, you aren't playing the SEC and yes FSU is #1.
See you on the 6th.

The ACC did not have a great week this week which cost FSU a bit in the computers. The Pitt loss being the biggest one. Duke over VT hurt a bit but Duke is in a good place to be a top 25 computer team at the end of the year now but they have no brand value for the human voters. UNC winning was also not helpful. OOC basically only OU, ND, and USC did us a solid.
FSU could move back into 2nd place in next Sundays BCS rankings but it will last only a week. Without a loss between Oregon or Bama there just is no realistic way for FSU to close the gap. We are basically chasing the wrong team to have a chance if it was Bama 2nd in the human polls we would have a chance.
This week I am doing it a little different and going almost game for game that will have an effect on FSU chances.
Cinci @ Memphis- Memphis pulling the upset has a decent positive effect For FSU and the ACC. Duke beat Memphis so it would help their SOS numbers and its an OO for Miami making them look better
USF @ Houston- USF winning would be big again for FSU as its a Miami opponent.
Rice @ N Texas- NT winning helps a very tiny bit while Rice losing hurts Bama just a tiny bit.
LA-M @ Troy- Go with Troy here. LA-M winning helps a tiny bit for FSU as an OO but it helps to many others while Troy helps Duke.
ASU @ WSU- ASU win would hurt Oregon plus it helps Pitt so helps us.
USC @ Oregon St- Oregon St losing hurts Oregon and Stanford a small bit
tOSU @ Purdue- Not going to happen but Purdue winning would be huge not so much in the computers as in FSU will get all the 3rd and better votes.
NIU @ UMass- Will not have a huge effect on the computers but NIU winning can only help FSU since we beat them in a bowl and humans are stupid and everything helps.
UW @ Iowa- UW does nothing much for the computers but if FSU is playing in the Orange Bowl it will either be against a 2 loss OU or the best available B1G team just no question about it
VT @ BC- VT needs to win
Temple @ Rutgers- Temple pulling off the upset hurts Bama a small amount
Illinois @ PSU- If you are worried about tOSU then Illinois but PSU helps a very tiny amount Cuse OO so helps FSU a very tiny amount.
Army @ AF- Army winning helps FSU a very tiny amount at the end of the season
Miss ST @ USCe- USCe winning helps the ACC while Miss St losing hurts Bama
UNC @ NCST- Both suck but NCST winning helps FSU more
WF @ Cuse- Really just about a toss up but Wake winning slightly more help for FSU because Miami played them
Southern Miss @ Marshall- Marshall winning helps VT while SM losing hurts Arkansas which hurts Alabama just a tiny bit.
Mid Tenn @ UAB- Mid Tenn helps the ACC while UAM hurts SEC again just a tiny bit
WKU @ Georgia State- WKU to win. GS loss hurts Bama
RI @ OD- I am not sure how the computers are dealing with OD this year but they played ACC so go OD.
Clemson @ UVA- Clemson must win
Michigan @ Michigan St- MSU winning can help ND which can help Pitt which helps FSU
Navy @ ND- ND winning helps if Pitt can win if not Navy winning helps Pitt.
Zona @ Cal- Cal upset hurts Oregon and UCLA
UGA @ UF- UF helps FSU the most I will go puke now
NW @ UNL- NW winning helps a very tiny amount
WVU @ TCU- WVU helps Maryland a bit so helps us
Auburn @ Arkansas- Upset here hurts Bama big
Tenn @ Mizzou- Tenn winning makes the SECCG start to look garbage if Miami can go 11-1
Pitt @ GT- Pitt winning helps FSU a bit more then GT winning
Col @ UCLA- Col winning hurts Oregon
Nevada @ Fresno St- A Upset would be huge for FSU
Miami of Florida @ FSU- FSU loss would have me crying in the fetal position

I have been a volksmarcher/fitness walker for 15 years now. I thought I was doing fine - then the Portland to Coast Relay showed me I lacked the speed and technique that many other walkers have. With just a couple of tips from a walking coach, I straightened up my body alignment and sped up to 13 minute miles. Then this summer I decided to learn the basics of racewalking to really improve my walking speed and efficiency. It is a very rare walker who can go faster than 11-minute miles without using the racewalk technique, which maximizes the use of your muscles to propel you forward. If you are looking for speed, good body alignment, and a good calorie-burning walking workout, racewalking is the way to go.
Most walking coaches will lead you into a technique that incorporates good posture, arm motion, and efficient foot roll. To transition into racewalking you simply need to add the straight knee (leading leg knee straight from the time the leading foot hits the ground until it passes under your body).
This weekend I attended a racewalk clinic with Dave McGovern. I'll be writing a series of articles on lessons learned from that. It is a great experience and I recommend it to anyone.
Coaching Web Links
- If you have a local racewalk group, they are the most direct source of finding coaches in the area, plus they will have good personal recommendations as to who is a good coach. Searchfor local racewalkers via Racewalk.com.
- Join a local racewalk club/group and enjoy their workouts - they will coach you along!
- You may be able to pick up brochures in local running shoe stores or health clubs
- Ads in local running magazines/club newsletters
- Call nearby colleges and ask if they know any local coaches. Racewalk.com has a list of colleges with active racewalking programs, which should be a good source of contacts to coaches.
- Contact one of the coaches who travel and give clinics (see above), line up a group who want to learn and enjoy!
