Manchester United will have a simple goal against Southampton today. Take advantage of Manchester City's slip-up against QPR on Tuesday. This is a match Alex Ferguson will expect his team to win and he's likely pleased that his side seems to have stopped their early season bad habit of giving up early goals.
Southampton will need to play a near perfect game in all liklihood if they hope to get a result at Old Trafford. Fans are still reeling from the unexpected sacking of Nigel Adkins, but it helped a little when the team played well in a draw at Everton last week. New head coach Mauricio Pochettino will face his toughest test yet during his short time with the Saints as he takes on Sir Alex for the first time.
The last time these two teams met, Soton had a 2-1 lead in the second half before conceding twice late in a 3-2 loss.
Manchester United injuries and suspensions
Out: Ashley Young (knee), Jonny Evans (hamstring), Darren Fletcher (illness) In doubt: None.
Southampton injuries and suspensions
Out: Guly do Prado (knee), Jose Fonte (knee), Emmanuel Mayuka (international duty). In doubt: Adam Lallana (knee).
Ashley Young is training but is still not ready to return. Jonny Evans hurt his hamstring and isn't expected to play while Darren Fletcher is out for the season. For Southampton do Prado and Fonte are still recovering from knee injurues. The Saints should get a boost with the return of Adam Lallana.
Match date/time: Wednesday, 8:00 p.m. local, 3:00 p.m. ET
Venue: Old Trafford, Manchester, England

Free agency may have slowed from its initial whirlwind, but it continues to move along with a few players making news on Wednesday night. The biggest news of the evening was Osi Umenyiora signing with the Atlanta Falcons, but that wasn't the only thing that happened.
Here is your roundup of all the latest NFL news:
Umenyiora signed with the Falcons in a move that had been expected for days. He should help replace John Abraham, whom the Falcons decided to release earlier in the month. Umenyiora is still excellent at getting to the quarterback, although he only recorded six sacks in 2012. He will likely split snaps in Atlanta, serving primarily as a rusher in passing situations.
Another former Giant defensive starter found a new home, as linebacker Chase Blackburn signed with the Panthers. Blackburn agreed to a two-year deal with Carolina, where he will serve as a backup and add depth to a group of linebackers that lost James Anderson to the Bears earlier in the offseason.
The Miami Dolphins bolstered their offensive line by signing Lance Louis. He will help an offensive line that allowed 37 sacks and lost starting left tackle Jake Long to free agency. Louis is recovering from ACL surgery, but can play either right guard or right tackle once healthy.
Miami is not done in free agency either, as they hope to add Brent Grimes, perhaps the best cornerback still available to replace Sean Smith, whom the Dolphins lost in free agency earlier this year.
The Tennessee Titans brought wide receiver Chaz Schilens in for a visit on Wednesday. Schilens didn't produce much for the Jets in 2012, but could add some needed depth to the Titans receiver corps.
Wednesday also had its share of NFL Draft news with schools hosting their pro days and players visiting various NFL teams. The most impressive story was that of running back Marcus Lattimore, who looked to be recovering well at the South Carolina Pro Day, where he did rehab drills for a room full of scouts.
Texas safety Kenny Vaccaro met with the Titans on Wednesday for a private workout, the second team he has met with privately after meeting with the Cowboys last week. He is expected to be a first-round selection in the 2013 draft.
The Kansas City Chiefs, who have the first overall pick in the draft, are bringing in cornerback Dee Milliner for a private workout. It is unlikely he'll be taken first overall, but Milliner will almost assuredly be selected within the first five picks of the draft.

Necrotizing Fasciitis (cont.)
Necrotizing Fasciitis Prognosis
The prognosis for patients with necrotizing fasciitis depends on many factors, including patient age, underlying medical problems, the causative organism(s), extent and location of infection, as well as the time course of diagnosis and initiation of treatment. Early diagnosis and aggressive surgical and medical treatment are the most important factors in determining outcome.
Necrotizing fasciitis is a life- and limb-threatening condition that carries a poor prognosis if left untreated. Complications and potential results may include limb loss, scarring, disfigurement, and disability, with many patients going on to develop sepsis, multisystem organ failure, and death. Combined morbidity and mortality rates have been reported to be between 70%-80%. Mortality rates may range anywhere between 6%-76%.

Vatican heaps insult on injury for Irish abuse victims
The Vatican has scored another PR disaster by again failing to acknowledge that there was a cover up of Catholic child abuse in Ireland.
After publication of two reports that showed that the sexual and physical abuse of children had been endemic for decades in Irish institutions run by the Catholic Church, the Vatican summoned all 24 Irish bishops to a conference last week. It rapidly became clear that the conference was more about saving the Church's face than making reparation, or even an apology, to the thousands of victims of Catholic priests.
Victim support organisations condemned the whole exercise as a "charade" and "window dressing". One group said the Pope had "washed his hands" of the scandal.
The Ryan Report found the Catholic Church and Irish government covered up almost four decades of sexual abuse and beatings by priests and nuns on thousands of children in State care. And the Murphy Report unveiled a catalogue of cover-ups by the Catholic hierarchy in Dublin to protect the Church. But in a Vatican statement, the Pope specifically failed to acknowledge the cover-up or formally apologise for the abuse. The Pope also failed to sack under-fire Bishop of Galway Martin Drennan – or even formally accept the resignations of other bishops, who were criticised in the Murphy Report for their mishandling of cases of sexual abuse. We understand no bishop or higher-ranking Catholic prelate has ever been laicised (sacked) for active or administrative misconduct over child abuse.
Ratzinger also ignored the failure of the Papal Nuncio to co-operate with the Murphy Commission's investigation into abuse in Dublin.
In a statement, the Vatican said the Pope had told the bishops the sexual abuse of children and young people was not only a heinous crime, but also a "grave sin that offends God and wounds the dignity of the human person created in his image".
The Vatican created another storm by announcing that the Pope had also told bishops that the "weakening of faith" was a significant contributing factor in the phenomenon of the sexual abuse of minors.
Maeve Lewis, of support group One in Four, said the Pope's response was inadequate. "It is deeply insulting to survivors to suggest they were abused due to failures of faith, rather than because sex offending priests were moved from parish to parish, and those in authority looked away while further children were sexually abused," she said.
Campaigner Andrew Madden, who was abused by Dublin priest Father Ivan Payne, said the meeting showed "self-preservation" was the Church's priority. He said Ratzinger and the bishops placed this over the concerns of people who had been abused for decades.
"That hardly represents change," Mr Madden said last week. "I can only conclude the Catholic Church remains a disgraced, discredited organisation that seems to be entirely incapable of responding in any intelligent, meaningful way to the findings of the Ferns, Ryan and Murphy reports."
Another campaigner who was herself a victim of abuse, Marie Collins, said the Pope had insulted the survivors by failing to put the bishops' resignations on the agenda and again ignoring the chance of reforms. "This is a clerical club in a clerical world ... they are people who live in a different century," she said after hearing the details. "I see no hope for the future." She said the Pope had said paedophilia was a "heinous crime" but he should have said that it was a heinous crime for a bishop to put an abusive priest in charge of children."
Another survivor, Christine Buckley, said she was profoundly disappointed with news that the Pope is to issue a pastoral letter to Irish Catholics on the scandal. "A collection of 24 bishops who appear to have been lectured about the tensions and the disunity of their members rather than trying to find out why these abuses happened and how to resolve them," she said. "The other part of the statement that really hurts me is there was 17 hours spent on diocesan abuse, there was half an hour spent on the Ryan abuses."
Another victim, Colm O'Gorman, described the Vatican meeting as "a cynical PR exercise". Mr O'Gorman said: "For the Pope simply to come out and tell us that the rape and abuse of children was a heinous crime is stating the obvious at this point."
Rape Crisis Network executive director Fiona Neary said it was "shocking" that the "systemic failures of the institutions of the Catholic faith are not mentioned as being a significant contributory factor in the sexual abuse of minors". It was clear that the most senior levels of Catholic institutions were unable "to take responsibility for their collusion with the abuse of children in Ireland". The talks were an opportunity for the Pope to apologise to victims for the Church's reluctance and failure to report sex offenders to civil authorities, but it "was an opportunity wasted", she said.
Michael O'Brien of the Right to Peace group said his first reaction to the news from Rome was one of disbelief. "It's unbelievable what we heard today from the pope. This is the man who is in charge of the Catholic Church worldwide and he hadn't even the gumption to say he was sorry for what happened to us. All he's done now is to add salt to the wounds and this is very hurtful. We were expecting something and we got nothing."
Meanwhile, Irish politicians have denounced the refusal of the Pope's diplomatic representative (nuncio) in Ireland to testify to a parliamentary panel probing the level of Catholic Church co-operation with investigations into the church's cover-up of child abuse. The papal nuncio to Ireland, Cardinal Giuseppi Leanza, told MPs in a letter published on Monday that he would not answer questions from the parliament's foreign affairs committee.
Cardinal Leanza has faced heavy criticism in Ireland for ignoring letters from two state-ordered investigations into how the church for decades suppressed reports of child abuse by parish priests and in Catholic-run residences for poor children. The investigators said the cardinal did not reply to letters seeking the Vatican's assistance.
An Irish MP, Alan Shatter, said it was "not only deeply regrettable but incomprehensible" that Cardinal Leanza would not explain the Vatican's lack of co-operation with Irish investigations, given "it is acknowledged in Rome that members of the clergy in Ireland are guilty of abominable sexual abuse of children". A campaign to expel the papal nuncio from Ireland has been started on Facebook.

Secularist of the Year prize goes to Southall Black Sisters
At a convivial and glitzy gathering last Saturday, the £5,000 Irwin Prize for Secularist of the Year was won by the Southall Black Sisters (SBS).
Announcing the prize, NSS President Terry Sanderson said: "Southall Black Sisters (SBS) was set up to meet the needs of Black and Asian women who are the victims of domestic violence or injustices in the legal system. The main aim of the organisation is to help women to gain more control over their lives, to be able to live without fear of violence and be able to assert their human rights to justice, equality and freedom. SBS are right on the forefront of the feminist struggle in this country. They celebrated their thirtieth anniversary last year, being founded in 1979 during the Southall race riots."
Mr Sanderson said that the group had been chosen to receive the prize because they provide a secular space where women fleeing violence or injustice — often resulting from religious attitudes — can find a safe haven.
He said: "The Government's 'cohesion' agenda has put an enormous amount of power into the hands of religious leaders in minority Asian communities. These are almost always very conservative in their outlook and some consider women's rights to be unimportant. The Southall Black Sisters can provide women with some time away from this all-powerful religious patriarchy for them to sort out their problems in their own way.
"Over a thousand women a year contact SBS on issues such as domestic violence, homelessness, immigration, police and racial harassment, health and concerns about their children."
Receiving the award on behalf of the SBS was its Director, Pragna Patel. Pragna gave a very moving acceptance speech in which she commented: "If you had asked me 20 years ago what one of the biggest struggles would be in 2010, I would not have said the struggle for a secular society. Yet here we are today." Pragna is also a founder of Women Against Fundamentalism.
A special campaigning award was presented to Samantha Stein for her work on setting up Camp Quest, the UK's first residential summer camp specifically for children whose parents want an alternative to the usual religious sponsorship of such camps.
Keith Porteous Wood, who was compère, said "umpteen people had come up to him to say that this, the fifth, Secularist of the Year presentation had been the best ever. The atmosphere had been electric with nearly 200 people enjoying a slap up meal in a glamorous restaurant in London's west end."
Also on stage was Peter Hearty, who runs the Platitude of the Day website, rating each Thought for the Day. Dressed in his preachers garb (after all he is a "Reverend" courtesy of an accommodating website and $20 cash) he presented The Platitude of the Year award for the most Platitudinous "Thought" – it went to Right Reverend James Jones, Lord Bishop of Liverpool and Bishop of Prisons, for reminding us all how Christianity solved the problems of Northern Ireland (yes, really!). Anne Atkins narrowly avoided winning – each time her name was mentioned there was a loud hissing.
Unfortunately, because the Bishop was not there to collect his award, the prize has now been forfeit. This consists of five personally signed and inscribed books by Richard Dawkins, which will be put up for auction on eBay to raise funds for the NSS. See pictures of the event
Hospital chaplains paid more than nurses and 150% more than cleaners – but which is more important? By Dennis Penaluna
Figures published on the Royal College of Nursing website concerning the NHS 'Agenda for Change' pay-scales clearly show that chaplains are valued more than the people whose work is absolutely essential for patient well-being.
The minimum starting salary for nurses is £20,710 pa and for chaplains it is £25,829, plus they also get extra for being called out, plus an additional amount as a national recruitment and retention payment of nearly £4,000. In all, a new-starter chaplain will probably earn around £32k pa.
Additionally, all chaplains received an average pay-rise last April of 6.1%. Nice work if you can get it – which you can't, of course, unless you are an ordained priest. The NHS employs around 1,000 full and part-time chaplains (mostly CofE) but only a bare handful of humanist practitioners.
Some of the most important people employed in hospitals, the porters and cleaners, start on the NHS's minimum wage of £6.77 per hour. The pay of a new starter chaplain is roughly 21⁄2 times as much.
Our research into the cost of chaplains in the NHS revealed that most people mistakenly believe that hospital chaplains are there on a voluntary basis and get paid by their religious group. They are paid for by the tax-payer and they place a £42 million p.a. burden on the NHS.
Another myth to demolish is the claim by some in the CofE that the church pays for the training of healthcare chaplains. It does not! It might pay for them to be trained as priests but the NHS picks up the tab for their healthcare 'training'. They start on Band 5, the mid-point of which is £23,345 – nice training if you can get it. (You can't!)
As the election approaches – who will you vote for?
Over the next few months, as the election machinery begins to crank more forcefully into action, the NSS will receive its usual request from members about where the parties stand on the issues of concern to secularists.
We will, through Newsline, bring you what information we can find, and it would be useful if readers could approach those in their own constituencies who are standing for election to ask where they stand on given issues. So, we are asking you to approach candidates for the Labour, Conservative and LibDems (or other parties) in your area to ask them their stance on the following issues:
* Faith schools – do you support the plans for the expansion of the faith school system? * Reform of the House of Lords – do you support a fully-elected House of Lords, and do you think the Bishops bench is a legitimate part of the Upper House? * What is your stance on the funding by the health service of hospital chaplains? * Do you support the concept of farming our social services to religious groups? If so, do you think it necessary to place conditions on the funding of these groups to prevent discrimination in service provision and employment? Or do you think religious groups should have the right to deny employment to people of other faiths and none while they run state-funded welfare services?
Please let us see the replies you get so that we can share them with other Newsline readers, to help inform their decision about who to vote for. Send the responses to firstname.lastname@example.com or by post to NSS, 25 Red Lion Square, London WC1R 4RL.
To get the ball rolling, here is a reply one of our readers received from his MP, Theresa Villiers, Conservative MP for Chipping Barnet. Our reader had asked about state funding for faith schools and hospital chaplains. Ms Villiers replied:
"There are currently no plans to scrap hospital chaplaincy services either by the Government or the Conservative Party. Hospital chaplains offer spiritual comfort and peace of mind to many patients that doctors and nurses, despite doing a brilliant job, perhaps are not qualified to give in all cases.
I also note your views regarding Conservative policy on faith schools. I support faith schools, and believe that the state should continue to fund them. Many faith schools provide their pupils with an outstanding, academically rigorous education, making them rightly valued by parents and the local community.
Parents should be free to raise their children within a religious tradition, and they should also be free to choose a school which reflects that belief. Of course we need to work towards creating a more integrated society, but that is not inconsistent with recognising parents' legitimate freedom to decide upon the type of education their children receive.
I believe that every parent should have the right to have their child educated in a good school, regardless of their religious beliefs, and to be able to do this we need to create 200,000 new school places.
Our plans would allow good new schools to open in precisely those areas where parents are denied a proper choice.
Last weekend, the Financial Times Weekend Magazine carried a long essay on the influence of religious groups on Conservative Party policy formulation. Although at the moment these groups present themselves as being primarily concerned with "poverty", we note the involvement of groups such as the Christian Medical Fellowship and the Lawyers Christian Fellowship, both of which have alarmingly regressive social agendas that would impose reactionary religious restrictions on to the private and public life of us all. Here is a political blog about the Tory claims from the Guardian.
Vote to get the bishops out of the Lords
The NSS has long campaigned for an end to the presence of 26 Church of England Bishops in the House of Lords. We need a truly secular state for a truly plural democracy to thrive, where people of all faiths and those without can co-exist as respecting equals. Now a group called POWER 2010 is trying to provoke debate on a number of issues ahead of the general election.
After one month in which any member of the public could cast their vote for the changes they would make to democracy, and with over 70,000 votes cast, only 50 votes separate a fully-elected second chamber in 5th place and the 6th place. This matters, because only the top five reforms will make it onto a pledge card, a set of people's proposals for democratic renewal which will then form the basis of a campaign in every constituency in the run up to the election.
So, if you wanted to see an end to the anachronism of bishops in the House of Lords make sure you use your vote today. Real change begins at the grassroots. Have your say and be represented. The vote closes on Monday.

While much of the speculation surrounding Dolph Ziggler headed into WrestleMania 29 on April 7, 2013, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, centers on whether or not he will cash in the Money in the Bank briefcase for maximum impact to kick off his seemingly inevitable world heavyweight title reign, it's starting to look more and more likely that won't happen.
Or, at the very least, he'll be busy doing something else on the show.
With the undercard still largely a mess and yet to be determined with any sort of concrete plans word from both PW Insiderand the Wrestling Observer is that Ziggler is likely going to be teaming up with his lady friend AJ Lee's big partner, Big E. Langston, to take on Team Hell No (Kane and Daniel Bryan) for the tag team championships.
The creative direction on Monday Night Raw this week teased as much, with Dolph beating Bryan for his first win in what feels like forever -- maybe since John Cena at TLC last year? -- and the story continuing at the SmackDown tapings the next night in Fort Wayne (read spoilers by clicking here).
So, before Ziggler ever cashes in his contract to win the Big Gold Belt, the best looking title in the business, he could very well be lugging around the worst looking title in the business, one of the tag team straps.
Perhaps there are plans for a monster push and he'll carry both at the same time? Is that something you Cagesiders would be on board with if WWE pulled the trigger on it, unlikely as it may seem right now?

A judge says he will allow prosecutors to seek the death penalty for Julie Schenecker, the New Tampa mother accused of murdering her children.
At a hearing Friday, her defense team argued that seeking it was unconstitutional, filing a motion against it. The judge struck down that motion.
Then, a threat Julie Schenecker said to a neighbor took center stage in court.
Public defender Jennifer Spradley calls it irrelevant and prejudicial and never wants a jury to hear it.
"The neighbor took it as normal frustration by a parent of a teenage daughter who just made an off-handed comment," Spradley said.
The threat happened weeks before Schenecker allegedly killed her two children, 16-year-old Calyx and 14-year-old Beau.
The neighbor remembers it like this:
"She saw Ms. Schenecker across the street. She had a glass in her hand and a cigarette, and she asked her, 'what's wrong or how are you?' And her comment was that she was going to kill Calyx," Spradley said.
But State Prosecutor Stephen Udagawa argues the threat speaks to her sanity and how she was slowing building up to the murders.
It shows, they argue, the strain that was building between mother and daughter.
"Eventually Beau started to behave similar to Calyx, and that's what led to the eventual killing of both children," Udagawa said.
Prosecutors say the relationship became so contentious, there were discussions Calyx would be sent off to boarding school. But before that could happen, investigators say Schenecker shot and killed her children in their home.
After hearing arguments, Judge Emmitt Battles said the statement is relevant. He said it speaks to premeditation, motive and intent.
"The court sees no danger in confusing the jury with this evidence," the judge said.
The hearing comes after 55 pages of evidence in the case were released this week, detailing the mother's history with depression, addiction and bi-polar disorder.
The information included emails between Schenecker, her therapist and her military husband. She and her husband have since divorced.

text: Live Bites is a great compliation of live performances by the Scorpions. The musicianship on this album is superior, from Meine's smooth vocals to the combination of shreading riffs between Jabs and Rudolf Schenker. "Tease Me Please Me" is a great track that starts off the album on a great, energetic note. Such ballads as "Rhythm of Love" and "Wind of Change" really capture the crowd (and you) as you listen. The hard hitters on this cd include "No Pain No Gain" and "Alien Nation". Overall a great Live album despite not including some of their biggest hits.

It looked like she had it.
No. 15 Svetlana Kuznetsova was up a break in the second set. She had already put away the first set in a tiebreaker, a tiebreaker her opponent had lead 5-2.
She only needed eight points to top No. 1 seed Caroline Wozniacki to win her fourth-round match at the 2011 U.S. Open.
Wozniacki was two games away from elimination. Then Kuznetsova lost the second set and then it was 5-1 in the third, Wozniacki's advantage.
A backhand volley winner from the No. 1 seed sealed the deal - 6-7, 7-5, 6-1.
After three hours and two minutes, it was final. Wozniacki would move on to the quarterfinals match against No. 10 seed Andrea Petkovic after winning 11 of the final 13 games.
Wozniacki's 50 fewer unforced errors is likely what kept her in Arthur Ashe Stadium on Monday evening and in the final Grand Slam tournament of the year.

First off, yes, I realize that Ryne Sandberg is talked about ad nauseam here and other places. However, while his traits (selflessness, accountability, etc.) are most often talked about when examining why Sandberg would be the proper manager for the Cubs, his managerial qualities are often ignored.
With Lehigh Valley visiting Indianapolis for a four-game series over the weekend, and since the IronPigs play just 56 games a year with National League rules, I felt like the time would be right to see if I could gain any insight into Sandberg's managerial personality. (And yes, I realize the sample size is small)
A Brief History
55, 71, 58. In the three years before Ryne Sandberg's arrival in Lehigh Valley, those were the win totals for the IronPigs. Now, while different organizations have markedly different goals for their minor league affiliates, winning just about 40 percent of one's games is still difficult to do. In Sandberg's first year, Lehigh Valley has already set a franchise record with 74 victories and is in position to reach the International League playoffs with two weeks to go in the year. How have they gone about this?
Lehigh has not relied on player development at Triple-A this year. The IronPigs have a veteran roster (Brandon Moss, Josh Barfield, Rich Thompson, Tagg Bozied, etc.), which can be a double-edged sword. Some teams will have 25 players with 25 agendas, which quickly submarines the team. However, this group, judging from the temperament in the clubhouse and on the field, seems to be pulling as one. Mix in the experience, and generally things work well.
The two positional prospects playing regularly for Lehigh are playing well under Sandberg's tutelage. Domonic Brown has no business being in Lehigh Valley; he's Major League ready, but is able to utilize all five of his tools for the IronPigs, stealing five bases in the four-game series.
Freddy Galvis is a 21-year old shortstop from Venezuela, who in limited at bats (he was called up on Aug. 2) entered last night hitting .314. His hustle down the first base line allowed him to beat out a bobble by the second baseman, leading to the game's decisive four-run outburst last night.
And while the offense is collectively hitting .254 (with a .721 OPS), Sandberg has utilized the team's one obvious strength this year: speed. Seven different players have 10 or more stolen bases, creating more run-producing opportunities for the middle of his order. Rich Thompson leads the club with 39 swipes, while Lehigh's 103 thefts are fourth in the League, helping the club scratch across every available run.
The place where Sandberg (and pitching coach Rod Nichols) appear to have excelled, however, is in the construction of the team's bullpen. While Lehigh's starters have been solid throughout the year, their bullpen has been one of the best in Triple-A, sporting a 34-15 record with a 2.76 ERA (449.1 IP, 138 ER, 529 K). It hasn't come through the traditional means, either, of getting six quality innings and turning it over to a few trusted relievers.
Instead, six players on Lehigh's active roster have a save, with Sandberg even going to his closer for a two-inning save on Saturday night. Mike Zagurski picked up the majority of his 11 saves in the first half of the year, before Juan Perez and Scott Mathieson began collecting saves in June. However, Mathieson was moved to the rotation around the end of June (where he had shined until last night), leading to Michael Schwimer's 10 saves. With Schwimer in Philadelphia and an assortment of power arms in the bullpen (Philippe Aumont, Justin De Fratus, Drew Carpenter) waiting, however, Sandberg was able to roll through multiple innings at a time with his relief corps, rarely playing lefty-right matchups in the four-game set.
In dealing with the pitching staff, Sandberg had no trouble pulling a starter and turning the game over to his pen. On Saturday, he pinch hit for Nate Bump in the top of the 6th inning with Lehigh down 1-0, 2 outs and the bases loaded. Bump's line at the time was: 5 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 4 K, 58 pitches.With Bump cruising, Sandberg sent Cody Overbeck to the plate (if Overbeck is ever on the ML roster, that team is in trouble). Overbeck's bases-clearing double sent the IronPigs on to a 3-1 win.
Tuesday, with Mathieson struggling (3.2 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 6 BB, 3 K, 93 pitches), Sandberg didn't wait for the end of the inning to bail the starter out. Instead, he went his bullpen, getting 4.1 innings, in which the pen allowed 2 runs, by which time Lehigh led, 7-4.
I didn't see much of the "fire" that people are surprised to see when Ryne Sandberg manages; for the four games, he stayed even-keeled for the most part, but backing up his players when they felt the strike zone was too large, or if the umpire missed a call.
For the most part, Sandberg seemed to be thoroughly enjoying his time; his entire family was in town (I'm pretty sure the Sandberg Family Christmas Card will feature the skyline of Indianapolis from Victory Field), which I'm sure helped. And while he's always been known to sign autographs for fans, doing so each and every day - even when the last game of the series was delayed for an hour - was impressive to me.
Whether it is as a manager or bench coach, Ryne Sandberg is ready to make the leap to the Major Leagues. I have no idea if Ryne Sandberg will be the next manager of the Cubs. After watching him for four days, I came away with the impression that he's prepared to manage at the next level. His handling of a pitching staff, in particular, I felt was impressive. His team's even approach throughout the year, I believe (based on talking to Lehigh's radio/media relations director and reading the paper), has been a reflection of him and his leadership, as well.
In any case, sorry for the length, but I hope it lends a little insight into how Ryne Sandberg has managed this year.

September 8, 2003
Fitzgerald- By looking at it you'd think 109 College was an abandoned house, but it's is where 81 year old Louise Wilkins and her son Willie King live.
"It reminds me of some places you see in the history books. With the public's help and some government agencies I hope to contact we're going to get something done," says Gregg Issacs car salesman Dalton Goodson.
He still can't believe anyone lives in the house. Goodson met Wilkins when she and her son paid $40 to catch a cab from Fitzgerald to Tifton in an attempt to purchase a car.
"We did explain to them that they wouldn't get financed anywhere and to please let us give them a ride home," he remembers.
Out of the kindness of his own heart and the money in his pocket Goodson bought the family a car.
"And you should have seen the smile on Mr. King's face. He was so happy. He said now I can take my mom to the doctor, now I can go out and look for a job. It did me more good than it did them," he admits.
Goodson was just in time. Friday King had to take his mother to the hospital.
"Are you feeling better," he asks Wilkins as he kneels by her bedside.
"Yes I feel much better. I'm telling them now I want to go home," Wilkins says.
And when she get's there Goodson is hoping her house will be in better shape than she left it. He was so disturbed by what he saw when he delivered the car. Now, he's decided to build her a ramp and trim the bushes around her home.
"When you can't walk you just can't get up and down these stairs. She's bound to this hot house; it's like a greenhouse, and I don't know what kind of heat they have. It's not liveable," Goodson exclaims.
Now, he and his co-workers are vowing to do all they can to turn this house into a home.
Dalton Goodson says he and several other salesmen will spend a weekend cleaning up and working on Wilkins home, trying to get her phone service and a wheelchair, and providing her with a fans to cool her home.

Not enough words.
Thank you to all who serve or have served on Memorial Day. We wouldn't be arguing about sports without your sacrifice.
Now I've been notified that I can't post this tribute because it is not seventy five words long. And I have always thought that the threshold was 200 words. I guess I missed the change somewhere along the line, but it doesn't matter.
Happy Memorial Day to all. Thank you again.

LOS ANGELES—Sam Zell insists he's a builder, not a breakup artist or an investor who flips companies to make a fast buck.
"Every company I've ever been involved with I have built," said the real estate maverick, who orchestrated the deal this week to take Tribune Co. private. "We didn't do this deal to figure out what to get rid of."
» The latest on traffic, delays and road construction delivered to your mobile phone. Click to sign up to receive text alerts!
Zell said Friday that he regarded the encounter as largely social.
Geffen had promised to invite an old college roommate of the Zells who has worked in the recording industry. "So this is a chance to see someone we haven't seen in 45 years."
In other words, Zell, 65, seems in no hurry to sell.
"There may be some structure for avoiding the pitfalls" of a spinoff of The Times from Tribune -- including the heavy tax bill it might generate -- but the idea that Zell is purchasing Tribune to slice it up piece by piece "is one of the great conspiratorial theories," he said.
Zell, who spoke to the Chicago Tribune on Tuesday, plainly relished the chance to repeat that his governing principle in business is to look for the contrarian play.
"If you follow my history as a businessman, it's looking at things differently," he said. "When everybody says it's going to be 'X,' I'm more than willing to bet my money that it's going to be 'Y.' Conventional wisdom is, in effect, the entrepreneur's enemy."
Zell has made a fortune in real estate and by turning around distressed assets.
He mentions his 1985 acquisition of Itel Corp., a lessor of railcars and containers. The business was then in a prolonged slump.
"I can't even describe to you how a banker responded when you told him you were in the railcar business in 1985. One of them said, 'Look, if you want sympathy I'll give you a charitable gift, but don't come to me with railcars.' "
That certainly seems to be the theme of his investment in Tribune, which has suffered from declining circulation at its newspapers and has been all but written off on Wall Street as a terminal case.
"I just think newspapers are extraordinary brands," he said. "They're world-famous, and I just don't think the newspaper industry as a whole has figured out how to capitalize or maximize those values."
Nor does he claim to have a solution in hand. On meeting Tribune's management, "I warned them that my methodology is to ask questions, and I don't kill the messenger."
Zell's deal calls for Tribune management to remain, and he is still getting acquainted. Asked what has impressed him about Tribune Chairman and CEO Dennis FitzSimons, he replied, "Did I say that I was impressed with Dennis? I don't think I said anything about Dennis. I think I can tell you that I don't know Dennis very well, yet. I think he's sincere. I think he really wants this to succeed, and I'm hoping that the combination can achieve that objective."
Among those who have offered advice, he said, is Donald Graham, chairman of the Washington Post Co. "I've had numerous other calls like that. I've got to study and listen. I'm not naive enough to think that we know everything after six weeks. Far, far from it. ... But by the time we're done, we will know this business inside and out."
Zell said that the company's allocation of capital -- that is, where it invests its financial resources -- will be the key to its fortunes.
"That's an extraordinarily important part of the equation. Are we trying to do too much? Are we trying to do too little? Should we allocate more capital to interactive, and if so, what do we get for it?"

The Eje Cafetero is the largest coffee producing region of Colombia. The landscape is characterized by deeply incised rivers, steep hills with coffee plantations and fincas terraces (coffee farms). The major cities are Armenia, Pereira and Manizales. These cities are connected by the Autopista del Café, a modern four-lane highway that, through spectacular viaducts and bridges winds up and down and swings from Armenia to Pereira to Manizales. Besides the autopista there is another road to go from Pereira to Manizales. This road leads through the village of Chin China and offers a nice views of the typical landscape of the Eje Cafetero.
The departments of Caldas, Quindio and Risaralda form the Coffee Triangle, so named because this is the region of Colombia where most coffee crops grow.
Everywhere you look around the cities of Manizales, Pereira and Armenia you will see coffee plantations and in every restaurant you can enjoy the small cups of "Tinto", the typical Colombian coffee.
The region is a prime destination in Colombia because of the traditional coffee farms and many country houses have been converted into tourist accommodation. During your stay here you can enjoy unique and wonderful views looking out over the coffee fields.
The Colombian coffee is of course known worldwide and the farms are based in a beautiful area in Colombia. The coffee area is also known as MAM, named after the three places that produce the best coffee Medellin – Armenia – Manizales. Since the early 19th century, the coffee produced here and today the Colombian coffee is the best in the world. Los Nevados National Park is a stone's throw distance from Manizales and Pereira offers many outdoor sports activities. Trekking from one day or overnight tours from Manizales are very easy to organize.
Along the roads of the coffee area you will come across beautiful buildings, coffee plantations, parks, golf courses and landscapes dotted with palm wax trees.
Manizales has an average temperature of 18°C. The average temperature is 21°C in Pereira and Armenia at 20°C.
Coffee Triangle is easily accessible from the airports of any of the three cities. El Eden Airport in Armenia, La Nubia Airport in Manizales, and Matecaña Airport in Pereira. There are also direct flights from Bogota, Cartagena and Medellin.
Things To Do
The Coffee Triangle is a real surprise, especially for its impressive landscape and coffee farms. There are so many beautiful places to visit and things to do. These are our favorites:
Visit the Valle de Cocora (Cocora Valley) for hills covered with wax palm (palma de cera) and a breathtaking views.
Stroll around Salento: enjoying Spanish colonial buildings in bright colors with beautiful hand crafts shops and hospitable people. Very good to combine with a visit to Valle de Cocora.
Parque Nacional del Café (National Coffee Park): For an interesting insight into the coffee production and beautiful landscapes with traditional houses.
Termales and Santa Rosa de Cabal: enjoy these hot springs at the foot of a waterfall.

Anyone who's ever had a kidney stone knows how painful that can be, but one Kansas City area woman knows that pain very, very well.
Sarah Calderon used to indulge in foods like beer and wings on occasion, but she's now adjusting to a new lunchtime routine.
"I have my vegan cheese that has protein in it," she said.
Instead of a menu of options, she's now ruled by a list of restrictions and foods she can't have any more.
It's all because of her body's tendency to make the small, but unreasonably painful kidney stones.
"This is a big one," she said as she held one of the stones in the palm of her hand.
The one she held in her hand was too big for Calderon to pass, so she had to have it surgically removed at Shawnee Mission Medical Center. She said her largest kidney stone was eight millimeters big.
But she said things got really bad last week when doctors had to remove a stent they were using to keep her passages open because it developed a blockage.
"He pulled the stent and it felt like I had five kids because, what he didn't know, is there were five calcified kidney stones that had formed to the stint," Calderon said.
And Calderon said removing the stent essentially opened the flood gates. By her count, she said she passed 63 stones over the next three days in the hospital.
"It's just one after another, after another, after another, and I was just holding on to my hospital chair like 'oh my gosh,'" she said.
It's hard to say if some of the stones she passed were broken pieces, or separate stones each, but the effect was obvious.
"There's nothing that compares to this, absolutely nothing, this is the most painful thing," Calderon said of her experience.
So she's switched to an all-vegan diet to keep from developing calcium deposits. She hopes the diet change will be enough and she won't lose a kidney.
Now she's warning others while holding on to her physical proof, a reminder of just how bad it can get.
"Everyone get checked up," Calderon said. "A lot of people have kidney stones that don't even know they have them."
Calderon's doctor said that dehydration, especially in extreme heat weather, can be a big cause of kidney stones.

The purpose of this project was to compare the efficacy of new insecticides on onion thrips control and to determine if rotating different classes of insecticides would result in better thrips control. There is a continuing need to screen new insecticides or new formulations of registered insecticides to determine if they are effective in controlling thrips. Because of the number of generations per year, thrips rapidly build up resistance to insecticides. Rotating between different classes of insecticides is one method of reducing resistance.
Materials and Methods
The trial was conducted on the Hasebe Farms on the southern edge of Ontario. The two-acre field was split between the variety Tango and a yellow variety. The trial was in the Tango onions. The plots were four double rows, 25 feet in length, and each treatment was replicated four times. The first part of the trial consisted of two applications of 16 treatments, the second treatments being made 14 days after the first. The exception was the ES 9601 compounds, which were sprayed every 7 days for three applications. Thrips counts were made just prior to spraying and at 3,7, and 14 days after the first application, and at 7 days after the second application.
The treatments were made with a COg pressurized plot sprayer set to deliver 27.4 gal/ac of water. The center two rows of each plot were used for evaluation. The number of thrips on 15 onion plants in each plot were counted to determine control.
The different products and their application rates for the efficacy trial are listed in Table 1. A new formulation of Warrior was tested alone and with a non-ionic surfactant, a silicone surfactant and a crop oil concentrate. ES 9601 is a fungal biopesticide of Mycotech's Beauveria bassiana.
The second part of the trial consisted of applications of Warrior, Guthion, Fipronil, Mustang, Diazinon, and Lannate in various sequences to determine which would give the best season-long control. Insecticide applications were made at two week intervals and thrips counts were made just prior to each application. Three applications were made during the growing season. The sequence trial was initiated on June 12 with subsequent applications on June 27 and July 16. The following products were used. Lannate, Diazinon and Guthion were buffered with 3.5 oz/ac Leffingwell ZKP as a buffering agent.
The sequential applications were made according to the schedule in Table 3.
Thrips samples were collected from the red and yellow varieties in the field along with a sample from one other field near Nyssa to identify species makeup of the population and for comparison.
The results of the efficacy trial are shown in Table 4 and the sequence trial in Table 5.
Except for the 3 days after treatment counts in the efficacy trial, none of the data were significantly different. Even though there were differences in the three day trial, it is hard to draw conclusions based solely on one count date.
The bigger question is why were there no differences among treatments in either of the efficacy on sequence trials when significant differences have been shown in other years. A major pesticide company also had a thrips trial in the same field with similar results. Samples of thrips were taken from the field in the Tango portion and from the yellow variety portion. Afield in Nyssa was also sampled to give an idea of which species of thrips were present. The thrips were identified by Nancy Matteson, an entomologist with the University of Idaho in Twin falls. She found the following.
Ontario Tango field: Mostly Western Flower Thrips (FranklinieHa occidentalis) and a few Onion Thrips (Thrips tabaci).
Ontario Yellow: a 50:50 mix of Western Flower Thrips and Onion Thrips.
Nyssa Field (yellow onions): Mostly Western Flower Thrips and a few Onion Thrips.
No positive conclusions can be drawn from this year's study but there are indications that a species shift towards a higher population of Western Flower Thrips may have occurred in the trial area. If this is the case, thrips populations need to be examined throughout the region since Western Flower Thrips are resistant to most of the registered insecticides. If a species shift is taking place, alternative strategies such as variety selection and biological control may be necessary.

" Busyness serves as a kind of existential reassurance, a hedge against emptiness; obviously your life cannot possibly be silly or trivial or meaningless if you are so busy, completely booked, in demand every hour of the day.
Yes. If you haven't read this article, it's not one to be missed.
Uncomfortable in Our Skin, Eva Wiseman's intelligent report on the pressures distorting the way we think and feel:
Liberal Democrat MP Jo Swinson (who has succeeded in pulling a number of L'Oréal ad campaigns for being unrealistic) is one of a growing group of people whose campaigning indicates that [body image is] something worth worrying about. Last year I attended every session of her government inquiry into body image, the results of which were published in a report this month. She cited research showing how current "airbrushing" culture leads to huge self-esteem problems – half of all 16- to 21-year-old women would consider cosmetic surgery and in the past 15 years eating disorders have doubled. Young people, she said, don't perform actively in class when they're not feeling confident about their appearance.
It is research backed up by a new documentary by Jennifer Siebel Newsom, Miss Representation, about the under-representation of women in positions of power – women who are high "self objectifiers" have low political power. They're less likely to run in politics, and less likely to vote: if value lies in their imperfect bodies, they feel disempowered. The long-term effects, the piling on of pressures one by one, like a dangerous Jenga tower, means women's – and increasingly men's, 69% of whom "often" wish they looked like someone else – lives are being damaged, not by the way they look but by the way they feel about the way they look. It's complicated.
" People are fed by the food industry, which pays no attention to health, and treated by the health industry, which pays no attention to food.
" To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter… to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring - these are some of the rewards of the simple life.
" Vulnerability is absolutely essential to wholehearted living… It is our most accurate measurement of courage.
This looks great and it's one of the most important health issues in our country. Glad to see there is more attention being given to why our cities and economy were designed to make health so hard.
A provocative new 4-hour series soon to air on public television, Designing Healthy Communities, examines the impact of our built environment on key public health indices, including obesity, diabetes, heart disease, asthma, cancer and depression. The series documents the connection between bad community design and burgeoning health consequences, and discusses the remedies available to fix what has become an urgent crisis.
Weekend in the internet-free zone was good. Always is.
Do you ever take an Internet-free weekend? What does it look like? For me it likely involves spending several days with friends on a farm in north Texas, or camping alone in the woods of a national forest. Either way, it doesn't happen enough.

" If we have goals and dreams and we want to do our best, and if we love people and we don't want to hurt them or lose them, we should feel pain when things go wrong. The point isn't to live without any regrets, the point is to not hate ourselves for having them… We need to learn to love the flawed, imperfect things that we create, and to forgive ourselves for creating them. Regret doesn't remind us that we did badly — it reminds us that we know we can do better.
The Life Reports, a project by David Brooks at the Times, wherein he asks people over 70 to submit essays about their own lives and what they've done poorly or well. It's really wonderful reading. Here's a snippet:
Measure people by their growth rate, not by their talents. The best essays were by people who made steady progress each decade. Regina Titus grew up shy and sheltered on Long Island. She took demeaning clerical jobs, working with people who treated her poorly. Her first husband died after six months of marriage and her second committed suicide.
But she just kept growing. At 56, studying nights and weekends, she obtained a college degree, cum laude, from Marymount Manhattan College. She moved to Wilmington, Del., works as a docent, studies opera, hikes, volunteers and does a thousand other things. She acknowledges, "I did not have the joy of holding my baby in my arms. I did not have a long and happy marriage." But hers is a story of relentless self-expansion.

The richer — that is, the more varied and complete — the individual's emotional life, the less is he driven to projection, and the more will he incline to identification. His outlet and satisfaction comes in identifying himself with the emotions of the other. On the other hand, the narrower and more restricted the individual's emotional life, the more intense will be his fewer emotions, the less will he be inclined to, and capable of, identification — the lack of which he has to compensate for by projection. Projection thus proves to be a compensatory mechanism that adjusts for an inner lack. Identification, on the other hand, is an expression of abundance, of the desire for union, for alliance, for sharing.-Otto Frank, "Love, Guilt and the Denial of Feelings" (1927)
The MSF clinic in northern Burkina Faso has treated more than 40,000 malnourished children in the last three years. In the Starved for Attention Film "A Mother's Devotion," photojournalist Jessica Dimmock tenderly captures the heartbreaking emotional strains experienced by a young, hard working mother, Natasha, simply trying to feed her children. Alone at 24, she scavenges firewood to sell in the market. Her meager earnings force an impossible choice: between buying food or medicine for her three children.

From an interview with Diana Lobel, author of The Quest for God and the Good: World Philosophy as a Living Experience:
Philosophers such as Aristotle had a much richer conception of fulfillment than our word happiness suggests. The Greek term eudaimonia connotes the best way of life, or human flourishing. Aristotle was a biologist. He thought of human beings as living organisms that can wither if our being is not properly nourished or live well and thus blossom and flourish. Just as health is an objective state of the body when it is thriving, so flourishing is an objective state of the human person — the psycho-physical organism — when we are fulfilling our unique potential.(Thanks, Josh.)
For Aristotle, happiness or flourishing is not a feeling or a state but an activity of living. It is the way of living that expresses all we are meant to be. Pleasure or joy is the subjective dimension of this experience. When we live well, we feel pleasure or joy.
Something I'm currently working on
Healthy, happy living is about eating well; being active; having close relationships; enjoying sex; taking pride in what you do for a living; optimizing your environment; and moderating sabotage.
That's about the closest definition of health I can write.
" Health is not a commodity. Risk factors are not disease. Aging is not an illness. To fix a problem is easy, to sit with another suffering is hard. Doing all we can is not the same as doing what we should. Quality is more than metrics. Patients cannot see outside their pain, we cannot see in, relationship is the only bridge between. Time is precious; we spend it on what we value. The most common condition we treat is unhappiness. And the greatest obstacle to treating a patient's unhappiness is our own. Nothing is more patient-centered than the process of change. Doctors expect too much from data and not enough from conversation. Community is a locus of healing, not the hospital or the clinic. The foundation of medicine is friendship, conversation and hope.

SI.com 2011 NBA Mock Draft 3.0
11. Golden State Warriors: Alec Burks Once again, I offer a reminder that lottery teams have many needs and thus the educated guessing game can be a bit tricky. But in the new Warriors era that includes the likes of consultant Jerry West, future GM Bob Myers and new coach Mark Jackson, it's clear that size in the backcourt is going to be a priority (along with the frontcourt desires I mentioned in 2.0 that led to the Marcus Morris pick). At 6-6, Burks is a sizable slasher/scorer who is looking to improve his versatility as a part-time point guard. Washington State's Klay Thompson is a major attraction here, too, although the 6-7 swingman is an outside threat as opposed to the penetrating sort.

Bula Matari
Bula Matari is a true story.
Africa. 1915. German steamboats dominate Lake Tanganyika. The Germans can strike where they want, when they want. They have the respect of the natives. They are the "Bula Matari", the omnipotent force.
It is the duty and tradition of the Royal Navy to engage the enemy wherever there is water to float a ship. Admiralty orders Spicer-Simpson, an eccentric lieutenant commander, to destroy the German fleet.
Spicer-Simpson takes twenty-eight men and two armed motor launches by sea to Cape Town, then across rough tracks, the 6,000 foot Mitumba Mountains and the near dry Lualaba River to Lake Tanganyika. There he confronts and attacks two German steamers, both considerably larger than "Mimi" and "Toutou", the Spicer-Simpson motor launches.
But the venture is not without its problems. Spicer-Simpson, with his abrasive manner, his proclivity for boasting and his refusal to acknowledge the achievements of others, alienates just about every officer and rating on the expedition. His success on the lake seems to redeem him. His past foibles are forgotten. His officers shake his hand, his men give him three cheers, Belgian officers kiss him and the local natives throw dust at him – a sign of great respect.
Spicer-Simpson appears to have achieved the status he always sought – that of an heroic British naval officer. His past sins (which include having his command torpedoed by the Germans while he was entertaining ladies in a hotel) are forgiven.
But he is then confronted by two additional challenges. There is a third German steamer on the lake – much larger and much more formidable. There are also the guns at Fort Bismarckburg – twelve inch guns that can blow "Mimi" and "Toutou" out of the water before they can close to attack.
Will Spicer-Simpson rise to the challenge and, in the best traditions of the Royal Navy, engage the enemy wherever it is to be found. Or will he protect his reputation and the lives of his men?
Spicer-Simpson takes the latter course, a decision that at last gains the respect of his men, but ensures that he is never again given a command in the British Navy.

Runners gearing up for Milton Keynes Marathonby Lauren Hall
Organisers say they're expecting thousands of runners to take part in this year's Milton Keynes Marathon.
The 26.2-mile run takes place on Bank Holiday Monday 6th May. World record holder Stephen Richardson from Milton Keynes will be competing this year. He is now the proud holder of the Official Guinness World Record for Fastest Marathon Dressed as a Sailor. He managed it in 2:52:32 at the London Marathon last weekend.
There is also the opportunity for younger people to take part in a shorter event on the same day.
– Andrew Hully, Race Director
"All our competitors from world record holders to fun runners should be admired for their commitment. But this year we have some special younger superheroes setting off in their own shorter event after the marathon runners have set off."
The Superhero Fun Run is a chance for those of all ages and abilities to complete approximately 1.5 miles. They can walk or run and will cross the finish line ahead of the marathon runners.
Entries to the Milton Keynes Marathon will be open until 30th April and for the Superhero Fun Run until 9.30am on the day.

In the wake of the highly publicized two-night interview of Lance Armstrong by Oprah Winfrey both Thursday and Friday nights of this week, the United States Anti-Doping Agency has come out with a response to Armstrong's insistence that he is sorry and other like-minded comments in the interview. Specifically, the organization believes that if the world-famous cyclist is truly repentant, then he can back up his words with some specific actions.
In a prepared statement, USADA CEO Travis T. Tygart said:
"Tonight, Lance Armstrong finally acknowledged that his cycling career was built on a powerful combination of doping and deceit. His admission that he doped throughout his career is a small step in the right direction. But if he is sincere in his desire to correct his past mistakes, he will testify under oath about the full extent of his doping activities."
Armstrong came out on Thursday saying that he was prepared to win over his fans as much as they would let him. "I will spend the rest of my life trying to earn back trust and apologize to people," he told Winfrey.
The interview will continue on Friday night on the Oprah Winfrey Network.

(WMC-TV) – A local ice hockey club president, who has played the game in Sochi, Russia, is following a few Mid-Southerners as they compete in the 2014 Olympic Games.
Kelly Whelan, who speaks fluent Russian, is cheering on Team USA with her Rhodes college teammates. Having spent time playing hockey in Russia, Whelan is excited the games are being played there.
"It's such a thrill, not just from the sports perspective, but also from Russia in general, to share what it has to offer on the main stage for the first time," she said.
Whalen is now trying to immerse her fellow Rhodes College students in the sport.
"It's a hard experience," she said. "You're playing several games a day. You're already stressed out on the national stage, representing your country," added Whelan. "While it's a thrill, it makes you nervous."
Mike Jankowski, of Memphis, went to St. Louis Catholic School and graduated from Christian Brothers High School. He is now the head coach for the U.S. snowboarding and freeskiing teams.
Chris Creveling, who can be seen in the speed skating competition, lived and skated in Corinth, Miss. He competed in the 2010 Olympic trials and is now going for the gold in Sochi. Click here to read more about him.

The Carnival cruise was supposed to be a mother-daughter bonding trip.
"So I thought this would be a lot of fun for us," said Jenny Abraham.
Jenny and Jade Abraham definitely had a vacation they'll always remember.
Jenny said, "We woke up to an announcement saying Alpha Team, Alpha Team to the front...deck. And we're on the front deck....So I opened the cabin door and there's just smoke going through the cabin, everywhere."
The Carnival Triumph caught fire Sunday, off the coast of Mexico, leaving more than 4,200 passengers and crew on board, stranded.
"We went back and the electricity goes out," Jenny said.
Jade added, "One of the workers handed us her finger flashlight, so that's what we had been using to see whenever we took a cold shower."
"When the water went out we realized, okay, so they said don't use your toilets...They asked us to use biohazard bags to use the restroom in and we had to do that," Jenny admitted.
They say they had plenty of food though and people shared outlets to charge cell phones.
"I think it was a very good lesson for my daughter to realize most countries don't have any of this. They don't have running water. They don't have toilets that work," said Jenny.
Still, it was comforting to finally see land.
Jade said, "Sweet Home Alabama! We started singing. We started cheering, lots of crying."
Jade was especially relieved because it meant she could still go to her sixth grade dance.
"I really didn't want to miss it and I thought we were gonna miss it...but now, now, I'm here...in my dress," said Jade.
Jenny said, "They refunded our cruise. They gave us a future cruise credit. They gave us $500."
I asked, "Do you feel like, in the future, you're going to take on that cruise credit?
"Absolutely," they said in unison.
