Even though youd like to eat at home most nights (its smart economics), figuring out how to get a tasty, nutritious plate on the table can be tough. So, if it seems like the only way you get really great food in your house is by turning on the Food Network, listen up. You can gain life-extending power from your food if you paint your plate with a rainbow of colors, especially green!
Fill at least 1/4 of your plate with green vegetables; 1/4 with a mix of colorful veggies or fruits; 1/4 with 100 percent whole grains; and 1/4 with lean protein. An added bonus: When youre paying attention to whats on your plate (colors!), you automatically eat less and better.
Go for Greenies: They include everything from broccoli and lettuce to green peppers and artichokes. Youll be dishing up great tasting anti-inflammation and anticancer nutrients.
Red fruits and vegetables, such as watermelon, pink grapefruit and tomatoes (especially when cooked), contain lycopene, and that may reduce the risk of prostate cancers. Polyphenol and anthocyanins in strawberries, raspberries and red grapes quell inflammation and protect the heart and brain.
Orange and yellow fruits and veggies contain carotenoids -- precursors to vitamin A. They slash the risk of macular degeneration and heart problems.
Blue/purple foods (blueberries, raisins, plums) are loaded with anthocyanins that protect the brain, the heart and every cell in the body.
When you eat by color, youll lower blood pressure and bad LDL cholesterol, shed excess pounds and make your RealAge much younger!

BJJ today was great - I am finally allowing myself to just grapple when 'rolling' and not worry. Just do it. So far I haven't remembered the moves enough to actually execute many, but I've been keeping myself fairly safe, which is good for a beginner!
Last Friday we (Kakes and I) crewed and paced my brother on a 50 mile ultramarathon in the Utah desert. It was awesome! I ran almost 20 miles - probably exceeded 20 with all the playing around. If you want to read a full account of it you can find that here.
It's pretty long.
If you don't want to that's fine too - here are a few pictures from the event!
Just me runnin - getting sunburned - the usual
The Crew and Runner together at almost the finish:
Me before I put my shirt back on at the finish line
Kakes and I at the end:
I don't think I'd be crazy enough to run a 50 miler. But I do know I could run a Marathon if I wanted. As of right now - I'm good.

I agree with the other post, she is a compulsive liar and will do and say ANYTHING to get what she wants.
Excuse ME?
If it were truly a bad experience then I think you should have went to her not try and hide behind a post. I think this could be taken as slander and you might want to rethink things. You are wrong about Anna as well....
The worst ever
I would like to start off saying buying a home should be one of the most memorable experiences in your life. For my family and I that was not the case. I should have done more research. Kimberly is a compulsive liar. She will tell you anything to get the house sold. Once you sign the contract don't plan on ever hearing from her again. She made my life a living hell during the entire process. She is not dependable and should have her license revoked as soon as possible. My family and I are afraid to buy another home because of the way we were taken advantage off. Kimberly should be a used car salesman. She has no values and morals. She has no idea the hurt she caused my family. She is almost hated in the city of anna and when you mention her name people cringe. Kimberly is on the web for a numerous amount of problems with her real estate practices as well as her personal life. I suggest if you want and honest, dependable, trustworthy agent you start you search elsewhere.

BEREA - Browns offensive tackle Joe Thomas has saved some of his hardest hits for former teammate Peyton Hillis.
Thomas hasn't been shy about criticizing Hillis for his off-the-field actions in a failed attempt to get a contract extension while playing running back for the Browns last season. During training camp Thomas told the Tribune Chronicle that no one in the locker room would have chosen Hillis if they had been asked to pick sides.
Thomas went off on Hillis again Wednesday. He first responded to his comments of last summer when he said that the Browns didn't have a running back because of the six games Hillis missed with a hamstring injury and a case of strep throat.

The Associated Press
In this Nov. 21, 2010, file photo, Cleveland Browns running back Peyton Hillis, left, runs for yardage while picking up a block from teammates Joe Thomas (73) against Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Derek Cox, right, during the first half of a game in Jacksonville, Fla. Thomas called former teammate Peyton Hillis 'a terrible distraction' last season, and said the running back put his contract situation ahead of the team. Hillis is returning to play in Cleveland this week with the Kansas City Chiefs.
"It wasn't intended to be a shot. It's just the facts," Thomas said. "He decided that his contract was more important than him coming out and helping his team win. It left us without a running back. Then we had a few injuries that hurt us further, with Montario (Hardesty) being down and Brandon Jackson, who wasn't in training camp (because of a foot injury). You had Peyton, and he decided to go out and try to get a new contract a certain way, and it ended up hurting the other 52 guys in the locker room. That was his decision."
Hillis, who's with the Kansas City Chiefs this season, had a career season in 2010 after arriving in Cleveland in a trade with the Broncos that sent quarterback Brady Quinn to Denver. Hillis rushed for 1,177 yards and 11 touchdowns on 270 carries, and he added 477 yards and two touchdowns on 61 receptions.
Hillis was selected as the cover boy for the "Madden 11" video game through a national voting contest. He had everything he wanted, with the exception of a contract extension.
The 2011 season started well for Hillis, who rushed for 94 yards and two touchdowns in a week two win over the Indianapolis Colts. Things started to go downhill the next week when he pulled himself out of the lineup prior to a game against the Miami Dolphins with a reported case of strep throat.
Hillis played the next two games but then missed five straight with a hamstring injury. Thomas questions why Hillis didn't try to play through the strep throat and injury.
"I don't think strep throat and whatever other injuries he had should keep you out of a NFL game," Thomas said. "All I know is that Alex Mack's appendix blew up and he played."
Hillis played in the last six games of the season, tacking on a 99-yard, one-touchdown performance against the Arizona Cardinals and a 112-yard, one-touchdown showing against the Baltimore Ravens. That wasn't enough to change Thomas' opinion of his former teammate.
"He wasn't real popular around here with the way he went about his business," Thomas said. "Not that they didn't like him as a person, but the way he hurt the team by not coming to play.
"From what everyone knew about him was that he was hard-working, blue-collar and tough. Would do anything for anybody on the team and all he cared about was winning, and all of a sudden next year all he cared about was trying to get a new contract."
Thomas believes that Hillis was given poor advice by those close to him.
"I don't begrudge a guy for trying to get his contract," Thomas said. "This is a business for us, just like it's a business for the owners. There's a right way to do it and a wrong way to do it, and the way he chose really hurt the team."
Some of the veteran players confronted Hillis about his attitude.
"A lot of the guys tried to give him guidance, but he wasn't listening to his friends in the locker room," Thomas said.
Coach Pat Shurmur refused to respond to a question about Hillis' contributions in 2011.
"I'm going to talk about Peyton Hillis, the 2012 version," Shurmur said.
The Browns' decision to no re-sign Hillis was greeted well in the locker room.
"It was better for both sides," Thomas said. "At that point the situation was toxic. He didn't want to be here, and the players didn't want him here. It's better for a fresh start at that point."

Handy Hazzan is Hanukkah Hazzan - Making Dreydls Out of Clay Today!
… Oh Dreydl, Dreydl, Dreydl…I Make it Out of Clay…
Most of you know the Dreidel Song …. "Oh Dreydl, Dreydl Dreydl…. I made it out of clay. And when it's dry and ready, then dreydl I shall play…" Who does that anymore? Go to any Judaica store and
Tools and supplies: You'll need "Oven Baking Clay," – we got ours at Blix Art Supplies in Los Angeles on Beverly Blvd. - pen knife or paring knife, serrated knife, a few chop sticks, 100 - 120 grit sandpaper, wood glue, glossy acrylic paints and a few different paint brushes, all of which should be capable of detail work; a bowl of water, any additional sculpting tools if you wish to carve decorative elements, and clamps for holding the dreydl while painting.
Making: Take a smallish piece of clay - you don't need much…maybe a quarter-dollar size sphere - and knead it back and forth in your hands until it is very malleable. When it is of good consistency, roll it around between your palms to form a ball. I start to shape the ball into a cube, alternating between shaping it with my fingers and banging it on a flat surface. The top of the cube becomes the top of the dreydl, with four sides on which we will later paint the letters Nun, Gimel, Hay and Shin. Do you know what Hebrew words these letters represent? The answer is: Nes gadol haya sham, which translates "A great miracle happened there." I choose one end of the cube to be the bottom of the dreydl, and start pulling the clay with thumb and forefinger gently down and inward to create the lower half. Occasionally wet your fingers to assist in smoothing the surface of the clay.
Sometimes, if I don't like my results, I simply roll the whole thing back into a ball and start all over. Keep turning the dreydl as you mold it. This will help in maintaining symmetry. Each side of the dreydl will have a "perfect" square on the sides of the top half, and then a triangular part on each side of the bottom, angled inwards and down to come to a point at the bottom. I slightly round the bottom. It spins better than if it were a sharp point.
Once I have shaped the entire dreydl, I take a plain, wooden chopstick and cut about two inches off one end. (You can prep these before you start molding the clay.) I shave and sand this little piece of wood until it, too is symmetrical. I then carefully insert one end of the 1 1/2 - 2 inch piece of chopstick into the top of the dreydl, making sure that the stick is centered and perpendicular to the top. If it seems loose, I pull it out, put a couple drops of white glue in the hole, then reinsert the stick.
TRUTH BE TOLD: I may have accidentally used a different clay for the ones I baked in our oven. I later used the "right" Oven Baking Clay and they came out looking nice and pink, like the one Roxy painted.
I am keeping this entry especially short so that you will have additional time to watch the two videos. Please write to me if you have any questions or comments. If you have a moment, do a little research on the origins of the dreydl/dreidel. You may be in for a surprise. Happy Hanukkah! Tikkun Olam starts at home. You can do it yourself! - HH

- The science of atmospheric chemistry is well established that volatile organic compounds (VOCs) contribute to the formation of ground level ozone smog.
- The medical and epidemiological science has also established that this pollutant results in excess adverse health effects and economic costs in lost work and productivity as well as insurance and medical costs. Studies are also showing that ozone is responsible for some premature deaths.
- Yes, both the reductions in emissions by using lower Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) fuel ("summer blends") and corresponding health benefits are reasonably quantifiable. Indeed, it is on this basis that regulations have been put in place. The cost-benefit analysis shows that the benefits to public health would far outweigh the added costs of the fuel.
- Depending on the particular formulation, summer blends are estimated to reduce gasoline VOC emissions by 12% to 25%. Nevertheless, we understand that the reduction would be one of many steps that have been put in place to reduce VOC emissions and hence ozone smog and hence the resulting health effects, so it is not possible to view the improvements in air quality due to the use of summer blends in complete isolation from all of the other pollution control measures that have been simultaneously implemented. What we do see, quite clearly, is that air quality has significantly improved over the years as we've been doing these things.
- In general, with the exception of the largest changes, decreasing emissions by any one measure, are not going to be separately observable even if they are part of the mix that does reduce air pollution. However, Mr. Laskoski noted that he didn't see a difference between summer and winter air quality in his area of Florida. If this is the case, then that would show that the measures ARE having positive effects, since if emissions had remained unchanged from season to season, one would expect to see higher ozone levels in the summer months. If he sees no difference from season to season, then that in itself is a sign the measures are working.
Kevin M. Stewart
Director of Environmental Health
American Lung Association of the Mid-Atlantic
I will defer to PA DEP to address the first part of your question, but I will respond to the second part:
- First, let me underscore that we are all subject to some amount of radon exposure, and that there is no confirmed "safe level" of exposure.
- However, we do understand some things about lung cancer:
* It is a long-latency-period cancer, meaning that decades may pass between initial exposures to a hazard and the eventual appearance of the cancer.
* Likewise, just as with cigarette smoking, once the major radon exposure is stopped, the risk of lung cancer does begin to reduce, significantly in the early years, but still quite slowly over time. Someone's lung cancer risk starts to approach -- but never equals -- the risk of a person who has never been exposed to high concentrations of radon after decades, if that person has not contracted the disease by that time.
Although we do know that radon being generated underground can find its way into the natural gas being produced during hydraulic fracturing extraction of the Marcellus formation, the real questions here are "How much?" specifically, "How much are Marcellus workers and end-use consumers being exposed to?" and furthermore, "What are the expected risks, taking into consideration the episodic nature of these exposures, and for in-home use, the time-delay between extraction and end-use, and the distribution of radon introduced into the home via natural gas-burning equipment?"
There are some preliminary studies that present somewhat conflicting conclusions. The American Lung Association in Pennsylvania's position is that more research, including widespread actual measurements in several scenarios by independent third parties, could provide better information here to support responsible decision-making.
We discussed your question on the air, but I thought I would go into a little more detail here since not all "open windows" create the same result:
- In general, opening basement windows, especially if this establishes "cross-ventilation," a flow of air across the basement (in one side of the house and out the other), helps to reduce radon levels in the house. However, having a window open only on the downwind side of the house can actually help to draw radon into the house from the rocks and soil under the house.
- Occasional "airing out" of the basement should not be a problem, but bear in mind that doing so on a regular basis may mean that an active (fan-driven) radon mitigation system may be producing little added benefit during those times.
- It is true that radon levels exactly at ground level tend to be higher that at a point a yard or two above ground level, but if you have lots of outdoor air flowing into a window at ground level, much of that air will be taken from points well above ground level.
As Bob mentioned, if mitigation were necessary -- as seems unlikely in your case -- it would probably involve one of two methods:
- The installation of subslab suction system under a newly installed basement slab.
- The installation of plastic sheeting as a vapor barrier.
Anyone with questions about mitigation should call the PA DEP Radon Division at 1-800-237-2366 or visit www.dep.state.pa.us and follow the first link at the keyword radon.
I know we addressed some of your questions on the air, and I will defer to Bob Lewis if he has anything to add with respect to mitigation.
In Pennsylvania, the guidance for occupied homes is to test in the lowest lived-IN level of the home, which would probably NOT be a dirt-floor basement. Even in real estate transactions, the guidance is for testing to be performed in the lowest livABLE area of the house, which could be an unoccupied basement, but generally, dirt-floor areas are not properly considered to be livable.
Also, as Bob mentioned, the variability among buildings is very great, so although a dirt floor arguably provides more pathways for radon to enter a building, it is quite possible for such buildings to have low radon concentrations. Again, the only way to know is to test.
As addressed on the air, radon is diluted so much in outdoor air that concentrations there are usually quite low. Two additional points:
- Remember that radon is normally being released by the soil into the atmosphere, so subslab suction systems do not really add significantly to those amounts.
- However, everyone is advised not to breathe the exhaust from radon mitigation systems or to allow those gases to enter the building through windows or other openings. Radon concentrations in those exhaust streams can be quite high. That's why the exhaust point is properly located above the roof line.
No, radon is not only a concern in basements. Although radon typically enters the house from rocks and soil near the foundation and under the house, air movement throughout the house can carry radon into all floors of the house.
Radon concentration on upper floors can be as little as one-tenth of basement levels but may be nearly equal to them if there is a lot of air mixing in the house. A typical average value for a main floor is about 50% of the basement level.
In any case, no matter the house design, the only way to learn what radon levels you may be exposed to is to perform a radon test.
This was addressed on the air, but I thought you should know the official language in the Citizen's Guide to Radon is "If your living patterns change and you begin occupying a lower level of your home (such as a basement) you should retest your home on that level. Even if your test result is below 4 pCi/L, you may want to test again sometime in the future."
However, if someone already has a radon mitigation system installed then according to the Consumer's Guide to Radon Reduction, "It is a good idea to retest your home at least every two years to be sure radon levels remain low."
Finally, since test results must be within 25% of the correct value, and testing labs in Pennsylvania are subject to blind evaluations, testing labs make efforts to achieve even greater accuracy, within the limits of randomness of radioactive decay, in order to maintain their PA DEP certification. More important, it is critical to understand that the correct classification (true negative / true positive) is estimated to occur 98.5% of the time when people follow the prescribed protocols. In any case, additional testing can provide more confidence about long term average exposures since radon levels have some natural variability from day to day, week to week, season to season.

People with disabilities sometimes find themselves limited by circumstances when they want to go outdoors to enjoy a nature trail or maybe an afternoon of fishing, but Seneca County has many options to help.
Family members who use wheelchairs or need flat surfaces for walking have many trails to choose from, and blind people can "see" several areas through the availability of tactile maps.
Of course, the nature areas aren't only for people with disabilities. They're for everybody, but enhancements have made these areas more accessible.
Article Photos
Benches provide a view of the Sandusky River at Schekelhoff Nature Preserve.
Some of these accessible nature areas are less well known than others, so here is a summary of places to go for people with disabilities, or to take an elderly relative with limited mobility for an afternoon.
For people with visual impairments, Seneca County has three parks with tactile maps to help blind people "see" the terrain and features of the area they are visiting. The maps at Schekelhoff Nature Preserve, Tiffin University Nature Preserve and Opportunity Park were put in place a few years ago during the final phase of the county's Access to Recreation project.
A2R was made possible by a $419,000 grant from the Kellogg Foundation of Battle Creek, Mich., to a partnership of Tiffin Charitable Foundation, Tiffin City Council, Tiffin Park and Recreation Department, Seneca County Park District, Seneca County Opportunity Center and Tiffin University. A local match of $327,000 provided funds for five projects totaling $746,000 at Opportunity Park, Hedges-Boyer Park, and Zimmerman, Schekelhoff and Tiffin University nature preserves.
Fact Box
Finding the right words
As I started to write this feature about the places people with disabilities can enjoy nature in Seneca County, I found myself wondering how to refer to people with disabilities.
From previous reporting on the topic, I knew the word "handicapped" no longer was a favorable word, so I started to use "disabled." But, after searching for the topic on Google, I discovered that wasn't a good word, either.
So, in case anybody else is wondering the same thing, here's a recap of information I found online from Ability Magazine, a leading magazine dealing with the topic (abilitymagazine.com).
I found "people with disabilities" is the favored term because it places the emphasis on "people" and not on "disabilities."
The magazine also suggests and explains:
"Do not use phrases such as "confined to a wheelchair," "crippled," "afflicted," "victim of" or "suffers from a disorder,'" the magazine requests. "These references diminish the individual's dignity and magnify the disability. Instead, refer to "the person who uses a wheelchair" or "the person with an emotional disorder."
"Deaf" refers to profound hearing loss. "Hard of hearing" may be used to describe any degree of hearing
loss, from slight to profound. Avoid using "hearing impaired."
"Impairment" is used to characterize a physical, mental or physiological loss, abnormality or injury that causes a limitation in one or more major life functions. For example, "The loss of her right arm was only a slight impairment to her ability to drive."
"Disability" refers to a functional limitation that affects an individual's ability to perform certain functions. For example, it is correct to say, "Despite his disability, he still was able to maintain employment."
"Handicap" describes a barrier or problem created by society or the environment. For example, "The teacher's negative attitude was a handicap to her" or "The stairs leading to the stage were a handicap to him."
"Blind" most frequently is used to describe a severe vision loss. Either blind or low vision are acceptable terms to describe all degrees of vision loss.
"Developmental disability" is any severe mental and/or physical disorder that began before age 22 and continues indefinitely. Individuals with mental retardation, autism, cerebral palsy, epilepsy and other similar long-term disability may be considered to have developmental disabilities.
"Mental illness" is a term describing many forms of illnesses such as schizophrenia, depression and emotional disorders.
In the second phase of A2R, the Kellogg Foundation offered the county an additional $21,000 to erect tactile maps at three project locations. The local committee selected the nature preserves at Schekelhoff and Tiffin as well as Opportunity Park to receive them.
According to information at the time, the areas were chosen for "total user experience benefitting people of all abilities and universally designed to meet the wide range of visitor functional limitations to mobility, hearing, vision and cognition."
One of the tactile maps is found at Opportunity Park, part of Seneca County Opportunity Center, 780 CR 20. The park has a wheelchair-accessible trail and oval track. People can enjoy an accessible picnic shelter, and it's a great place for families because it has accessible playground equipment.
The park is open to the public as a cooperative agreement between the Opportunity Center and Seneca County Park District.
Another tactile map can be found in the parking area at Tiffin University Nature Preserve, just east of Tiffin's city limits off Miami Street. The 29-acre nature preserve has a partially-paved trail which leads to a longer, unpaved loop trail. A gazebo and picnic area is easily accessible on the paved portion.
The preserve is a cooperative project between Tiffin University, the county park district and other government agencies.
The third tactile map is at entrance to Schekelhoff park, a 37-acre area with a half-mile wheelchair-accessible paved trail off North Water Street along the Sandusky River north of Tiffin Wastewater Treatment Plant.
The area includes an overlook of the river and a shelter with picnic tables and benches along the route.
The same map includes tactile details of Seneca County Park District's Clinton Nature Preserve, which continues north from Schekelhoff to TR 132 following an old township road right of way. The path is not paved, but is stoned and includes fishing access to the river.
Another park with wheelchair access is the county's 292-acre Garlo Heritage Nature Preserve, 5777 S. SR 19, Bloomville. From the parking area, people with disabilities can follow a paved area to a boardwalk which leads to a pond with a sheltered fishing spot for catch-and-release fishing.
The paved area continues to Olgierd Lake, a 37-acre shallow lake with another sheltered fishing area. From there, a 2.7-mile unpaved trail goes around the lake.
Continuing in the county park system, Zimmerman Nature Preserve, which is in Tiffin on SR 18 between Autumnwood Care Center and Genex Cooperative, is a 5-acre park with a 0.2-mile wheelchair-accessible trail, two picnic shelters, a grill and raised gardening beds.
Elsewhere in Tiffin is Hedges-Boyer Park with entrances off Coe and Summit streets. The city's largest park at 78 acres, it features a 1.15-mile paved trail with paved paths leading to picnic shelters and an overlook on Rock Creek.
Another circular paved trail is found at Oakley Park, bordered by Grand, Park and 6th avenues. It has a new paved trail of about a mile.
There are two more areas where people with disabilities can enjoy nature in a rural setting.
Anglers can do some catch-and-release fishing at Miller Conservation Farm, an 80-acre farm owned by Seneca Conservation District at 5670 E. TR 138. The front part of the area has a paved trail that allows wheelchair users to go from the parking lot to the pond. The picnic shelter also is accessible.
Wheelchair users interested in deer hunting can get information on an annual deer hunt in which volunteers use a trailer to assist hunters in getting to covered hunting spots. For information, call (419) 447-7073.
At the other side of the county, a boardwalk snakes through the wetlands of Springville Marsh State Nature Preserve, TR 24, 3.5 miles north of Carey off US 23 in Big Spring Township.
The boardwalk is over shallow water in many places and has no rails so wheelchair users should be accompanied by another person. A ground-level observation blind provides a view of a pond frequented by ducks and geese.
Hint: Put on an extra layer of bug spray during the summer.

Particle physics is one of the most intriguing scientific fields, probing the nature of the very makeup of the universe itself. However, over the last half decade, due to the growing economic crisis and various items such as war funding taking precedence in government budgets, the budget to help the U.S. stay leaders in the field of particle physics has been slipping.
The U.S. currently is down to only one remaining particle physics lab, the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) in Batavia, Illinois, associated with the University of Chicago and the lab was looking to be on the way out. It had started in February rolling furlough program that slashed already scarce employee pay by 12.5 percent and forced them to take periodic unpaid leave.
Now an anonymous donor has stepped in and donated $5M USD to the University of Chicago to try to alleviate these cuts and keep the lab open. Even with the extremely generous donation the lab is still in trouble. It plans to lay off 140 employees now, though it would have been an even larger number before the donation. The donation has allowed the lab to offer voluntary layoffs before the involuntary ones start.
Fermilab Director Piermaria Oddone spoke of the gift stating, "This is very unusual. It's not a building that carries a name. It's really a commitment to science and the nation and in particular to particle physics as a long-range important undertaking for our nation."
The good news has somewhat buoyed the sunken spirits of physicists at the lab. Says Consolato Gattuso, an engineering physicist at the lab, "This is definitely a weight that has been lifted. It gives us some light at the end of the tunnel."
Throughout the last five years, FermiLab's budget has been falling. The U.S. Congress's last minute budget for 2008 cut FermiLab funding from $372 million requested by the Department of Energy (DOE) to $320 million, $22 million less than the lab had received in 2007. The lab went into a state of crisis, forcing employees to take one week off unpaid every other month and work shorter hours. Further, 200 of the lab's 1950 employees were scheduled to be cut.
The U.S. is in a particle physics competition of sorts with Europe to find the legendary Higgs boson particle first. The cuts will allow Fermi's Tevatron Collider to stay operational, and continue the search. Researchers remain optimistic that Fermi may find the particle before Europe's CERN lab turns on its more powerful Large Hadron Collider this summer.
Legally, Fermilab cannot officially accept the gift, but it will allow the University of Chicago to contract employees to work in the lab. Over 50 employees have already left the lab, allowing it to scrape $1M USD in savings.
This is not the first time in recent years that the Congress has chronically underfunded the Department of Energy's physics research labs. In 2006, Congress gave the Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, New York so little money that it would have to shut down its Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. James Simons, a theoretical physicist and billionaire hedge-fund guru saved the Collider with a gift of $13M USD.
The officials at Fermi are extremely grateful for a gift, but fear it's only prolonging the inevitable. Brendan Casey, a Fermilab particle physicist states, "The grain of salt is that it really does nothing to change the uncertainty with regard to the future. So there's some relief, but the underlying tension is still there."
The U.S. government may be forced to reevaluate its spending priorities as more experimental physics labs and other science programs go under and U.S. leadership in the sciences slips. This would truly be an unfortunate loss for the country, most would agree.

Federal investments in development, mostly in DOD, have held steady as a share of the economy, but the federal research/GDP ratio is in free fall down to a projected 0.38 percent in 2009, below the long-term historical average of 0.4 percent after gains in the late 1990s.

The figure shows the Clinton deficit baseline. What changed this bleak outlook?Newt Gingrich and company -- for all their faults -- have received virtually no credit for balancing the budget. Yet today's surplus is, in part, a byproduct of the GOP's single-minded crusade to end 30 years of red ink. Arguably, Gingrich's finest hour as Speaker came in March 1995 when he rallied the entire Republican House caucus behind the idea of eliminating the deficit within seven years.

One hundred years ago, there was a brand new newspaper in central Pennsylvania named The Sentinel. In an effort to build subscribers, a contest was held to send the four top subscription gatherers on an overseas trip to London. For that era, it was the opportunity of a lifetime. And still today, that would be an enormous prize to obtain.
In McVeytown, there was a young lady postal clerk who decided that was something worth working for. She was a 22-year-old, working single woman by the name of Beulah Stine. By signing up subscriptions for the folks she knew in her little hometown, she earned a winning spot in the contest.
The year of the trip was 1913, just one year after the sinking of the Titanic and one year before our country's involvement in a horrific war in Europe, then called the war to end all wars. In later years, unfortunately, it had to be referred to as World War I.
Other than her family, which came after her marriage in 1915 to Perry Powell, from Reedsville, nothing in her life compared to her trip to London, courtesy of The Sentinel. They settled in Lewistown and had six children, myself being the youngest and always the "baby" of the family. Our father was hired as a timekeeper by a new corporation coming to town call the American Viscose Corporation. Through the Great Depression years of 1929 through 1939, he had advanced to employment office manager and was responsible for many individuals finding work during our country's hardest of times.
I tell you this because from my humble observation, Beulah and Perry lived a truly American Dream life story, one that I pray others will be able to realize in generations ahead, including my grandchildren, their great-grandchildren.
But in order for this to happen, we need to come alive as to where our country is now headed. Let's stand up for our businesses like The (Lewistown) Sentinel, that must provide the distribution of the honest truth with reliance upon its subscribers to know the truth and act accordingly.
Thanks so very much for what your newspaper has done for the good of the Lewistown community.

Is Twin Peaks Returning?
Yesterday, I received an email from an old friend from my productions days in television and he said David Lynch is bringing back "Twin Peaks"! Can this be true?
For those "Twin Peaks" fans of the early 90's you do remember Laura Palmer did tell Agent Cooper she would see him in 25 years!! Well, here we are 25 years later and waiting.
Men get out your plaid shirts and ladies in honor of the Log Lady don't forget to carry a log. Agent Cooper fans line up at the Donut Shop, because David Lynch might just be bringing us a Twin Peaks special and you know we can't watch it without a box of donuts.
Will keep you "Twin Peaks" fans informed here from Hollywood.

Fifth-year MD/MS student, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; firstname.lastname@example.com.
I congratulate Rosenthal et al1 on designing what appears to be a valuable contribution to efforts to preserve empathy in third-year medical students. I was especially intrigued by their finding that in the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School class of 2010, students' knowledge that they had been selected for the Gold Humanism Honor Society (GHHS) seemed to significantly raise their scores on the Jefferson Scale of Physician Empathy Medical Student Version (JSPE-MS). Those students, following the completion of clerkships but prior to notification of GHHS selection, had scored nearly identically on the JSPE-MS as the non-GHHS students, and their empathy levels had, in fact, eroded much more over the course of the year than had those of the non-GHHS students. We are therefore left to conclude that GHHS selection in and of itself increased empathy.
If that's the case, it's rather ironic; one would hope that in order to inculcate empathy in medical students, we wouldn't have to tell them that they're better than their peers in some way. Yet that's essentially what the exclusivity of honor societies does.
It seems to me that having any kind of honor society to recognize and promote humanism runs counter to the ideals enshrined in the concept. When I think of humanism, I think of inclusiveness and an appreciation of each individual's unique strengths and abilities, not a questionnaire-based selection process of peers whom one may or may not actually know or have observed working with patients. What this study tells me is that labeling some medical students as "humanists" and others as not engenders empathy in the chosen few but has unknown effects on the undistinguished many. Yet the few and the many will together graduate as physicians, so we need to leave honor societies behind as we advance empathy for all.

Key Zealand peptide competences
Zealand is a Danish biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the discovery and development of innovative peptide drugs. The Company target diseases where it believes existing treatments fail to adequately serve the medical needs of patients and the market potential for improved treatments through the use of peptide drugs is high. The Company focuses on three therapeutic areas: metabolic (diabetes and obesity), gastrointestinal and cardiovascular diseases.
Since 1998, Zealand's scientists have built a strong and growing pipeline of novel peptide drug candidates, many of which are now in clinical development. Currently, Zealand and its partners have one marketed product, drug candidates in Phase III clinical development and five drug candidates in Phase I and Phase II clinical development. Zealand also has one drug candidate in preclinical development that has been approved to enter clinical development.
As part of the Company's operations, Zealand has formed clinical development partnerships with leading pharmaceutical companies Sanofi, Eli Lilly, Boehringer Ingelheim and Helsinn Healthcare.
Zealand's specialized know-how in peptide chemistry enables the generation of novel peptide molecules with unique therapeutic qualities.

Loretta Lynn
You loved the book. You loved the movie, even with Sissy Spacek as the Lynn surrogate in Coal Miner's Daughter. And there's no reason you won't keep on lovin' Loretta in this LP. It has some sin: a pleasing version of the C&W anthem It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels and the not-as-racy-as-it-sounds Naked in the Rain. It has family: Sweet, Sweet Daddy. It has unrequited and no-longer-requited love: You're a Cross I Can't Bear and I Should Be Over You by Now. Most endearingly, it has Pregnant Again ("It just can't be so/But I never could count when the lights were down low"). Her repertoire already includes such hits as The Pill and One's on the Way but Loretta, at 45, seems intent on recording enough obstetrical songs to one day fill a collection that could be called "The Planned Parenthood Blues."

Police provide new details of Pa. highway shooting
CHAMBERSBURG -- Police investigating the shooting death of a Maine motorist in the dead of night on a Pennsylvania interstate last weekend said Friday they did not think it was related to another roadway shooting about seven hours earlier about 50 miles away.
Members of a team trying to solve the Jan. 4 killing of Timothy Davison, 28, along Interstate 81 also said they did not think it was linked to the unsolved shooting of a Kentucky state trooper along a highway in May.
Pennsylvania State Police Capt. Steven Junkin said at a news conference a few miles from the shooting scene that the assailant is believed to have been a man driving a dark-colored Ford Ranger XLT pickup truck that likely has damage to its front driver's side. That model of pickup has not been made for about a decade, he said.
Because the shooting occurred at about 2 a.m., the color of the pickup is not certain, but police said it may be blue. Investigators have asked body shops in Pennsylvania, Maryland and West Virginia to look out for such a vehicle.
Davison died of multiple gunshot wounds, although authorities are not disclosing the type of weapon used.
Junkin said the suspect apparently pursued Davison on Interstate 81 northward for about 15 miles, from Interstate 70 in Maryland to a few miles into Pennsylvania.
Junkin said the driver is believed to have then turned around and headed south.
There is no evidence that Davison, who made several calls to 911 while being pursued, did anything to provoke the attack.
"This actor had murderous intent," Junkin said.

New therapeutic approaches for sepsis have not fared well recently. In January, Eisai announced that its worldwide phase 3 randomized trial of a novel anti–Toll-like receptor (TLR)-4 compound, eritoran tetrasodium, had failed to demonstrate an improvement in the primary end point of 28-day all-cause mortality in a cohort of 2000 patients with severe sepsis.1 This news was disappointing, especially because the manipulation of TLR4 signaling would represent a new avenue of research and drug development. Perhaps ironically, only a few months later, the importance of TLR4 signaling was recognized with the award of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine to Jules Hoffmann and Bruce Beutler for their work in this area.2

Regarding the additions to the 40 man roster... I think they will add at least 2 and now more than 6. I'd guess four. My opinion on likelihood to be added would be: 1.) Hicks, 2.) Gibson, 3.) Tonkin, 4.) Santana, 5.) Hermsen and 6.) Bruce Pugh... Salcedo is certainly interesting. Like you said, he was a 'given' going into the season, but he was hurt all year.
Posted 17 November 2012 - 04:17 PM
I would consider Pugh a distant sixth. The way the current roster is set up with the only starting pitchers being Diamond, Hendriks, De Vries and Pedro Hernandez makes me believe they'll need to leave more room than normal to add starting pitchers.
Of course most of the current relief pitchers could probably clear waivers, so maybe there really isn't a "numbers-game".

Posted 17 November 2012 - 07:09 PM
other than hicks and gibson, i really don't think any need to be added to the 40 man roster at this point. none of them have a chance to stay on an active roster all year, and the twins would get them back then, probably for the better with a chance to be in a different system for a bit - for the experience, if nothing else. leave the spots open for all those amazing free agents ryan will be signing........... right??

Hey, Brenden Harris, Luis Rodriguez, Terry Tiffee and Matt Tolbert are all availalble to add infield depth - imagine that!
Posted 18 November 2012 - 10:42 AM
From a Shipley article in the PP:
The Twins currently have 32 spots taken, and Ryan said they will not fill the rest with prospects.
"We don't have that many guys we need to go that far with," he said.
Players who no doubt will be added: right-hander Kyle Gibson, the team's 2009 first-round draft pick, and outfielder Aaron Hicks, the 2008 first-round pick who had a breakout year at Class AA New Britain last season.
Reliever Michael Tonkin, 1-0 with a 2.45 ERA in 10 innings in the Arizona Fall League, and starter B.J. Hermsen, 11-6 with a 3.22 ERA at New Britain, also could be protected, but the Twins need to leave room for players they pick up via free agency or trade. They already have added reliever Josh Roenicke, claimed off waivers from Colorado this month.
"We've got some decisions to make on some guys, Gibson being one," Twins minor league director Jim Rantz said. "There are some kids we're looking at -- Tonkin, Hermsen, who was our (minor league) pitcher of the year. These guys are eligible and had pretty decent years."

Preparing for Avery's First Plane RideLauren Jimeson
This morning Avery is taking her very first plane ride. I shouldn't be nervous about this at all, but I can't help it that I am.
I travelled all the time when Harlan was just months old. And that was with just the two of us. With my husband living in NYC and us in Tampa, Harlan and I were always on a plane. I was nervous the first time that we did it, but after that it was just a part of our routine.
Remember when I told you how Avery hated the car? I'm afraid of that happening again. Except this time with more of an audience. If the screaming was hard for me to handle when she was in the car, I know it will be hard for others to handle on a jam packed airplane.
I usually don't care if I get the weird stares or comments from strangers on my parenting. I'm confident enough now in myself as a mother, that snide remarks don't get the best of me like they used to. But I know that being confined to a plane might put that guard down if she is screaming and people are complaining about it.
The good news is that she won't be confined to her car seat because I will have her on my lap the entire time. I plan on nursing her on take off and landing to help keep her ears from hurting. If she does start screaming, I'll nurse her again. Heck, I'll nurse her the entire flight if that's what makes her happy and calm.
I'm telling myself to think good thoughts for today and that she will love airplanes, despite the fact that she hated the car. It's wishful thinking, but it's the only thing I've got going for me right now.
How do you keep the baby calm on an airplane?

It was 42 C (108 F) in Sydney today! Geez it was hot..
supplements with water and 2 tbsp ACV
B: boiled egg, large black coffee with 1 tbsp coconut oil
L: grilled salmon and steamed cauli and broccoli
D: fried veal and brocolli with an avocado sauce
I need to get my avo sauce perfected. I couldn't find a recipe for one for chicken and lamb, only the salsa kind of avo sauces. I fried the well seasoned on really hot pan, when finished added water to deglaze and chucked in cream, bit of left over sour cream, small chunk of chopped up coriander, thyme, garlic salt and splash of lemon. It was nice but I wish I knew the recipe of my local Italian that does pollo avocado - its creamy but has hints of something so it isnt too bland. hmmm.
I have the energy to go out but it is still 40 C outside (hot winds too) and apparently will still be way over 30 at midnight.

Bowden has seen some changes over the years, but what's been drawing generations of visitors has remained the same. The Shavers Fork River, natural setting, food and activities are perfect for those looking to escape their hectic daily lives and unwind. As the green begins to return to the trees, the spring and summer tourists are setting up their campsites along the stretch of land that witnessed cabins, homes and campgrounds pop up to cater to those who keep coming back year after year and those who are just discovering the getaway only a few minutes outside of Elkins.
Some call the river home year-round and other visit for vacation, yet there's not a hotel, in the traditional sense, anywhere in Bowden. In 1984, when Roxye Marshall purchased the Cheat River Lodge, there was no grand plan to attract tourists and provide more lodging for individuals and families escaping to the area along the Faulkner Road. She remembered that between the late 1980s and 1990s Bowden began to flourish: More people were coming to escape and the demand for more housing and campsites was fulfilled.
The allure of the quiet Monongahela Forest, the river and what both offer hasn't diminished, it's only become more popular, Marshall says. People want to leave the nearby metropolitan areas behind for a few days for a little solitude, she explained. Although there have been trends in resorts and package deals, some want to get back to nature. Parts of Bowden may feel worlds away, but the amenities of what a city can offer, such as shopping are just minutes away in Elkins, she added.

"They feel some freedom and some space," Marshall said.
For the last eight years Jerry Jerow has said farewell to his Huntingtown, Md., home when the weather begins to get warm. He sets up his camper for the summer at the Shavers Fork Campground. Later this month, Jerow will arrive back at the Bowden base camp to spend summer and part of fall taking in all of what the region has to offer, except for the famous trout fishing in the Shavers Fork.
"I don't fish, but I guess I probably should," Jerow said.
Paul Lucas of Morgantown began fishing in the waters of the Shavers Fork in the 1950s and has been going back ever since. In April, he, his son-in-law, Charlie Rowan of Morgantown, and brother, Bud Lucas of Piedmont, Ohio, were in town to fish, dig some ramps and camp along the river. Paul Lucas recalled that the area has changed since he was a child when there were no campgrounds or places to stay. He says plenty of camping options make the area appealing and convenient for a weekend trip to catch trout, relax and maybe look for some ramps.
There's some history to Bowden, including the cabin of former West Virginia Gov. William Wallace Barron. The century old log cabin with modern amenities and riverfront location is available for an overnight stay from Shavers Fork Riverside Cabins.
Cat Cole, owner of Shavers Fork Riverside Cabins, agrees that the river and all it offers is what has made businesses and places of lodging succeed over the years. Her rental units are a lot like a home away from home and can't get much closer to the river. Because the homes are right along the river, some of her guests will rent rafts from Revelle's and float home, she explained.
Over the years some of Cole's guests have documented the good times they've had in journals she leaves in the houses.
"This is our first time here and what a time it has been," one guest wrote. "River's Edge has felt like home since we pulled up on Friday. We needed to get away from it all and relax. We have gotten that more intensely than we ever expected.
"We have spent countless hours in the hot tub planning future visits and discussing who we would like to share this experience. We've found that we (debate) between selfishly wanting to keep this incredible spot a secret and bringing everyone we know with us."
Just down the road from the many rental cabins is the Cheat River Inn, which opened its doors in the 1940s as a fisherman's watering hole. The Cheat River Inn has passed through a few owners, but the casual atmosphere and long-standing deck above the Shavers Fork is still intact.
Around two years ago Nevil and Amanda Barr purchased the restaurant and have created a menu that offers a range new and original recipes passed down from past owners. Executive Chef Nevil Barr attended Le Cordon Bleu culinary school, prepares a range of dishes, including steak, sushi and a riverside restaurant's staple, fish.
When Nevil Barr has finished his kitchen prep work, he takes advantage of a working on the river perk. Amanda Barr says if can't find her husband in the kitchen, she knows he's probably on the river with a fishing pole. Nevil Barr isn't the only one having his own fun along the Shavers Fork, Amanda Barr explained customers and co-workers never know who or what else they'll see in the water from the deck.
The river isn't just a vacation spot for out-of-towners. Elkins businessman Mark Tomblyn escapes work and stress at his family's home along the river. Sometimes Tomblyn will leave town for a while to relax and let his dog play.
"Just look at the beauty of it -it's a great place to be," Tomblyn said.
Susie Calain, who owns Calain's Restaurant and Tavern on the Faulkner Road, is so attached to her surroundings that even losing everything during the 1985 flood couldn't drive her away from the river. She explained her husband wanted to move away; but Calain bucked the idea and remains by the river, her restaurant and some campground spaces she rents on a yearly basis.
"It's kinda like being on vacation most of the time," Calain said.
When it comes to work on the river, Calain cooks up Maryland-style crab cakes that have the ability to bring beach dwellers to Bowden, she said.
Artist and Cheat River Campground owner Michael Davis can offer his guests a different kind of experience along the Shavers Fork. At the Water Gap Retreat campers can sleep in elevated, water-proof tent shelters draped with Davis' dyed silk, which give the impression of stained glass windows. As part of the Water Gap Retreat, Davis offers classes on Appalachian culture and arts.

LEWISTOWN - Taylor Dickson, of Lewistown, seemed like any other 15-year-old until this past June when she went to the doctor because she was experiencing headaches.
At first, she was diagnosed with migraines and was prescribed medication. She then had neck and back pain and sought the help of a chiropractor. Then, on July 15, the cause of her discomfort was finally revealed when her mother, Diane Dickson, took her to the hospital.
"Taylor called me while I was at work indicating severe pain," Dickson said. "Leaving work, I took Taylor to (Geisinger-Lewistown Hospital) emergency room. A CT scan showed a mass and 20 minutes later we were headed to Geisinger-Medical Center in Danville," she said.

Diane Dickson said Taylor's friends have been affected by Taylor's diagnosis. Taylor (right) is pictured with one of her friends Mycheala Britt.
On July 17, Taylor had surgery to remove as much of the mass as possible. However, an MRI revealed more bad news.
"Unfortunately, the MRI of her spine showed (the mass was spreading) to her cerebral/spinal fluid. Due to complications of surgery she got hydrocdephalus (fluid in the brain) on July 20, which was a major setback," Dickson said.
Eventually, a biopsy determined a diagnosis of Oligoastrocytoma, a tumor that originates in the cells of the brain. The diagnosis shocked her family.
"It's devastating to know your child is sick and (there's) nothing you can do as a parent to 'fix' it. The statistics are not important. She will beat the beast," Dickson said.
After her diagnosis, Taylor underwent treatment.
"Taylor then had four other surgical procedures," Dickson said. "Taylor now takes chemotherapy daily and has radiation Monday through Friday. She has not been discharged from the hospital," Dickson said.
In response to Taylor's diagnosis, family friend's Amy Banks and Tara McCarl contacted the family about holding a benefit for the family, because Taylor's parents have both had to take off work without pay since Taylor fell ill.
"Amy Banks reached out to me regarding her and Tara McCarl wanting to do something to help us due to knowing we were off work without pay to care for Taylor and making medical decisions," Dickson said. "I cannot express my gratitude to everyone who has worked on this benefit. I know Tara and Amy have put a lot of time and energy into making it a great event. It is amazing to see all the support coming from this community for my baby girl."
The event, Tear it Up With Fitness For Taylor will be held from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, Sept. 6, 2014, in the gym at Mifflin County High School. Tickets are $12 in advance and $15 at the door. To order tickets, email email@example.com.

Inspired by writer/director Greg Mottola's own true-life job-from-hell experience, Adventureland stars The Education of Charlie Banks' Jesse Eisenberg as an uptight recent college graduate who discovers that he'll have to get a degrading minimum-wage job at a local amusement park instead of spending his summer drinking German beer, visiting world-class museums, and flirting with cute French girls. It's the summer of 1987, and James Brennan (Eisenberg) has just graduated college. James is all set to embark on his dream tour of Europe when his parents (Wendie Malick and Jack Gilpin) suddenly announce that they won't be able to subsidize the trip. Now the only things James has to look forward to this summer are sugar-fueled children, belligerent dads, and an endless parade of giant stuffed animals. When James strikes up a relationship with captivating co-worker Em (Kristen Stewart), however, he finally starts to loosen up. Suddenly, the worst summer ever doesn't seem quite so bad. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

British Kickboxer Murders US Soldier After Getting His Ass Kicked And Humiliated
Typical Brit here, thinks he's tough till he runs into a real man and gets his ass beat in a barroom brawl. Can't hack being embarrassed by a Yank so he resorts to stabbing a Purple Heart Recipient to death.
BANGKOK A manhunt was under way Monday in Thailand for a British kickboxer police say is believed to have killed a former U.S. Marine after provoking a barroom brawl on a tropical island.
Police have named 28-year-old Lee Aldhouse of Britain as the prime suspect in the weekend stabbing death of Dashawn Longfellow, 23, who was vacationing on the island of Phuket and, according to U.S. media, a recipient of the Purple Heart after serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Thai authorities have issued an arrest warrant for Aldhouse and think he is still in the Phuket area but have alerted airports and sea ports in case he attempts to flee, said police Lt. Col. Anukul Nuket.
"It is very clear what happened," Anukul said. "Everything is very clear cut."
Longfellow's body was found before dawn Saturday at Phuket's Yanui Paradise Resort with several stab wounds in his chest.
Hours earlier the two men had come to blows at a local pub called the Freedom Bar, where the American was having drinks with a Thai girlfriend and Aldhouse picked a fight with him, police said according to witnesses. Witnesses described Aldhouse as a regular at the bar and known for "getting drunk and picking fights and bragging that he's invincible," Anukul told The Associated Press.
Both men were students of muay Thai, or Thai kickboxing, police said. Aldhouse had lived on-and-off in Thailand for four years and had competed on the club boxing circuit in Phuket, but police described him as currently unemployed. Videos posted on YouTube show Aldhouse in the boxing ring. One from 2006 refers to him as "Lee 'The Pitbull' Aldhouse." Another from 2009 shows him with several tattoos including one on his left shoulder that stretches down to the elbow.
But the American overpowered Aldhouse and apparently humiliated him, Anukul said. Onlookers broke up the fight, but the Briton allegedly followed the couple back to their hotel where Longfellow dropped off his girlfriend and went to a convenience store.
"The American came back to see (Aldhouse) with a knife," Anukul said, citing witnesses. "He died from stabs to his chest."
A bloodied kitchen knife was found near the hotel, Anukul said.
Longfellow had served in the U.S. Marines and was a machine gunner for the 2nd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, said Matt Gronbach, of Fort Dodge, Iowa, who was in the same unit with Longfellow.
"Dashawn was a caring and loving person. One of the nicest guys you could ever be around. Great friend, brother and son. He was just a huge teddy bear that everyone loved," Gronbach said in an e-mail.
Longfellow's mother, Tammy Longfellow of Norman, Oklahoma City, told Oklahoma City television station her son had traveled to Thailand to gain more knowledge about Thai kickboxing. Longfellow's passport was issued in Littleton, Colorado, according to Thai police.
Media reported that Longfellow was a Purple Heart recipient after serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"He fought since the day he was born. He was three months premature and he made it through," his mother told the TV station. She said he joined the Marine Corps after graduating from high school in 2005 with hopes of traveling the world.
"He struggled in school, he made it through. He went to the Marines two wars he made it through. He goes over there to do something he loves and he gets killed," she said.
The U.S. Embassy in Bangkok said it was providing consular assistance to the family.

BEDFORD - As a 12-year-old boy growing up in the tiny town of Pocatello, Idaho, Merril Hoge had a simple request concerning the wall in his bedroom.
"I wanted a wall made up of cork,'' Hoge, the former Pittsburgh Steeler fullback and current ESPN television football analyst, told area coaches, athletic directors and athletic trainers on hand for the first-ever CenPenn Youth Sports Symposium sponsored by ProCare Therapy and Fitness and University Orthopedics Friday at the Bedford Springs Resort. "I wanted to pin up my list of life goals on that wall.''
One of those goals was to someday play in the National Football League. He knew that the odds were against him.
"I know that only .02 percent of all high school football players ever play in the NFL,'' Hoge said. "But I was going to take action. I was going to find a way to play in the National Football League. I was going to find a way.''
Hoge did, too, and with his favorite team, the Pittsburgh Steelers, no less.
Hoge played fullback for the Steelers from the 1987 through 1993 seasons, exhibiting a rough-and-tumble, smash-mouth running style that netted him a career total of 3,139 yrds on 825 carries - an average of 3.8 yards per attempt - and 21 touchdowns.
Hoge loved his time with the Steelers, and he loved playing for legendary Steelers coach Chuck Noll, who was later inducted into the National Football League's Hall of Fame.
"Chuck Noll was the greatest leader I've ever been around,'' Hoge said. "He's equivalent to people like General [George] Patton. I've read about the way in which General Patton trained and prepared his men, and I got the same life lessons from Chuck Noll.''
One of the lessons Hoge received from Noll - who coached the Steelers to four Super Bowl championships in the 1970s and early 1980s - was to go above and beyond the call of duty and to exceed the ordinary.
"Chuck Noll emphasized going beyond our jobs as football players, and doing the uncommon rather than just the common,'' Hoge said.
It's a lesson that Hoge, who has always gone full bore into everything he's attempted, took to heart.
"Whether you're an all-star or not, if you get everything out of the skill set you've been given, you've been excellent,'' Hoge said. "I firmly believe that to be true for me.''
Hoge's accomplishments off the field are even more impressive than they were on it. The father of two beat cancer back in 2003, and he serves as the board chairman of the Highmark Caring Foundation and Caring Place Centers, a Pittsburgh-based organization which helps grieving children. He has used his position as an ESPN football analyst to accomplish, among other things, a public platform for the treatment of the type of head injuries that ended his career in his final season, at the age of 29, with the Chicago Bears in 1994.
