As our British readership may already know, this past Sunday marked the completion of Helen Skelton's 500-mile journey to the South Pole. But this wasn't just a run-of-the-mill visit to the bottom of the world: Skelton made the record- (and precendent-) setting trip for BBC's Sport Relief 2012 fundraising initiative in 18 days, two days under her projected goal. Accompanied only by "Norwegian explorer Niklas Norman, a small BBC team and a logistics crew," the 28-year-old British television personality and adventure sports enthusiast reached the South Pole at 11:40 AM on January 22, after two and a half weeks of travel by kite ski, snow bicycle and cross-country ski.
Skelton is best known the host of Blue Peter, (the world's longest-running children's television show, according to Wikipedia), though lately she's been garnering recognition for more extreme exploits: she's been known to run ultramarathons (she completed a 78-miler just under the 24-hour limit) and she kayaked the 2,000-mile length of the Amazon for Sport Relief 2010. The latter effort yielded two world records: longest solo journey by kayak and the longest distance in 24 hours by a woman.
Skelton's latest superlative feat is a record for the fastest 100km by kite ski (regardless of gender): seven hours and 28 minutes. In fact, she completed the majority of the journey in tow of the fierce Antarctic winds, which average 80 mph, covering a total of 329 miles over the course of 8 days' time on kite ski, with another 68 miles (3 days) by cross-country ski.
Still, perhaps the most notable accomplishment is the 103 miles (7 days) on a custom snow bicycle, a first for any Polar adventurer.
Between the physical challenge, the freezing temperatures (which dropped to as low as -48°C), a 180lb supply sledge, Skelton's achievement should certainly inspire UK residents to enter the Sport Relief Mile charity run in March.
See her cross the finish line on the bike (plus details on that too) after the jump...
Los Angeles-based all-terrain bike specialists Fortune Hanebrink spent some three months fine-tuning a design that they'd originally developed for explorer and polar guide Doug Stoup. "He wanted an alternative to skis that could take him and his equipment across the icy terrain. He biked for 200 miles in Antarctica's Heritage range."
Stoup was excited by the prospect of "the first bike expedition to the South Pole," sharing his thoughts with the BBC prior to her departure:I get calls every day from adventurers wishing to bike to the pole, but no one has ever attempted it... When I cycled in Antarctica, I was hit with an atypical storm that grounded me for five days. I experienced 100mph winds—it was epic. I still biked 200 miles and know Helen will be successful.
Skelton herself commented that "The biking is going to be really tough. What I like about this challenge is that 90% of people know what it's like to ride a bike, so will be able to relate in some way to what I'm doing."
As for the specs of the bike: designer Kane Fortune noted that "the wheels are key to the challenge." While the handmade, sealed-bearing hubs come in at about 1lb each, the tubeless rubber tires—20" diameter and 8" wide—weigh in at nearly 8lbs each, due partly to the steel belts woven inside. The wheels, then, are the majority of the extra weight of the 40lb bicycle.The tyres are designed to bulge over the rim to provide maximum stability and traction. They also allow a high degree of "flotation". This keeps as much of the wheel above the snow and ice as possible, so the bike hardly sinks in and only leaves a light impression. The wide surface area of the tyre does this by distributing the rider's weight over the width of the tyre.
"They're a lot like the tyres for golf carts," says Fortune. "They are designed to leave the smallest impression as possible, so the grass on the green isn't damaged."
Additional features (via BBC): - Lightweight heat-treated aluminum frame - Long wheelbase for added stability - Disc brakes without hydraulic assist (the fluid can freeze in low temperatures) - Organic leather saddle (a plastic one would shatter in sub-zero temperatures) - Triathlon-style aero bars for additional hand positions - Custom 6.9" suspension fork
The frame itself is actually very similar to the one used by Stoup, who offered his insights in the design process and trained with Skelton: "The bike is designed specifically to cycle in soft snow or sand... We trained together in the desert this past summer. It helps because the temperatures are so cold the snow has little moisture and has a sand-like consistency."
...and I thought that riding in the slushy streets of lower Manhattan was a bad.

OK Now I'm even more confused..I'm sure I put a post in here..has it been deleted?
Caution! My replies may contain traces of nuts!. My posts are just my opinion based on my experience with the primal way of life, there is no assurance it will work with others in the same way.

Another possibility, especially if you wouldn't normally had a problem doing the push-ups is that you got a trapped nerve which is causing a muscle weakness/fatigue response.
Ive had this happen before & I wasent in any pain from it, the only reason I realized there was an issue was because I struggled to pick up things I normally could just toss around..
Chiropractor visit & all fixed.
Every time I hear the dirty word 'exercise', I wash my mouth out with chocolate.
Did you prepare with test runs of the fitness test required? I'm sure you had to know of the requirements?
The way you explained the testing makes me think you usually only need to pass the bleep, pushup, situps, test as a requirement of your current service.. Did you have to do the run and pushup test back to back? If so it sounds like you ran out of gas,
As for the physical side of things, I have to do the same test every 6 months and I normally manage around the 30 - 35 mark for push-ups and 40 ish for the sit-ups. The bleep test i can achieve no problem, my highest has been 13.4. This is why I am confused...
The run is unusual and not something that is normally done, the beep test is what i have to complete every 6 months.
So what happens if you try and do pushups now? Have you tested yourself again since the test?? Maybe it was an aberration.
Also, you say you've been eating paleo, but you don't mention the composition of your meals. Some people go really, really well low carb for awhile, but then HAVE to add extra carbs into their diet. If you've been eating low carb paleo, maybe you need to up your carbs a bit and see what happens?? If you've depleted your muscle glycogen too far, the body may not have been able to synthesise enough for your muscles to keep going in order to complete the pushups.
Honestly, it's impossible to know WHY exactly, but I do think it's a good idea to test yourself right now and see what happens! Can you do your usual number, or are you still floundering??
Probably just having a bad day. I try to do 100 push-ups in 5 sets of 20. Usually the first 2-3 of sets are a breeze, but sometimes the fist set is hard - That's when I don't make it to 100. No rhyme or reason to it. I don't feel the weakness coming either.
My diet is pretty stable and I usually get ~100 grams of carbs per day.
Some of you may die, but that is a risk I'm willing to take.
I just have to train for my yearly PT tests. Do pushups and situps regularly and start to train for the 1.5 mile run a few months before the test. Last year I ate a few bananas before the test and had my best ever run time.

SAGINAW, MI — Buena Vista Township's manager earlier this month denied claims that she didn't promote Detective Sgt. Sean Waterman to interim chief because of concerns about his age and health.
Now, that denial is on paper.
Flint attorney Audrey Forbush on Friday filed a written response to Waterman's lawsuit, denying Waterman's claim that Manager Bregitte Braddock violated his civil rights when she promoted Sgt. Kevin Kratz to the interim chief position.
In the response, Forbush asks Saginaw County Circuit Judge Fred L. Borchard, who was assigned to preside over the case, to enter a "no cause" judgment in favor of the township.
Forbush writes that Braddock "identified a legitimate, nondiscriminatory business reason" that was "based on sound business and law enforcement judgment and based on (Waterman's) performance" for not promoting Waterman.
"Defendants did not, in any way, violate the Persons With Disabilities Civil Rights Act," the response reads. "Defendants did not, in any way, violate the Elliott Larsen Civil Rights Act."
The response does not detail what aspects of Waterman's performance led Braddock in part or in while to not promote him.
Waterman is seeking more than $25,000 — a figure required to have a lawsuit filed in Circuit Court as opposed to District Court — "to fully compensate him for his loss of back, future pay, bonuses, sick pay, vacation pay, and all other fringe benefits, as well as non-economic damages, (and) attorney fees and costs."
Waterman claims that Braddock told him of her concerns about his health during a meeting on Feb. 29, the same day she fired Chief Brian Booker. Booker since also has filed a lawsuit against the township and Braddock.
Waterman also claimed that Braddock's statements "could have been a pretext for age discrimination."
Much of the township's response denies Waterman's claims as untrue, but it does provide small glimpses of what the township will use to defend itself if the case were to go to trial.
The response reads, "The voluntary misconduct of (Waterman) is the proximate cause of the injuries sustained, if any," but the response does not expound on the claim.
Forbush also writes that Waterman "failed to allege any facts or evidence that age or disability played any role in the promotion decision" or that the failure to promote Waterman "was a pretext for discrimination."
"Defendants complied with all applicable statutes, regulations, and rules governing the operation of a charter township," Forbush writes, "and accordingly, (Waterman's) claims are barred in whole or in part."

NASA Glenn's new Director Jim Free has named his second in command.
Gregory Robinson will assume the role of Deputy Director, a position Free vacated Jan. 4 to become Director.
Robinson brings with him 30 years of engineering experience, most with NASA and some from the private sector.
In 1999 he was assigned to NASA Headquarters. In 2005 he was appointed NASA's Deputy Chief Engineer. During his tenure in that role, Robinson was responsible for implementing NASA's Engineering Excellence and Technical Authority throughout the agency.
"I'm delighted Greg has accepted this position here at the Glenn Research Center," Free said in an emailed announcemnt. "He brings a wealth of rich experience and insights from headquarters that will help position our center, its projects and programs, for success."
Robinson's resume includes 11 years of management experience at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland and serving as the Systems Assurance Manager for the Earth Observing System Project which was launched in 2002.
He has been the recipient of numerous individual awards for merit like the Presidential Rank and the Meritorious Senior Professionals and Executives Award.
Educated primarily in the South, Robinson received a Bachelor's degree in mathematics from Virginia Union University and another Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from Howard University.
Robinson takes over as Deputy Director in March. His position, once occupied by now-Director Free, opened up as part of a domino effect when former director Ray Lugo announced he would step down.
The acclimation process will need to be quick for Robinson who will likely be working closely with Free to pare down the center's budget. During a media roundtable on Dec. 12 Free, who was confident that Congress would dodge the fiscal cliff, said that there would be budgetary cuts regardless of what happened on the Hill.
"Flat is the new up, in regards to budgets," he said during the roundtable.
Glenn is currently made up of about 1,600 federal employees and 1,600 supporting contractors. Robinson will work with Free to manage the center's projects and how they are assigned.

The Spring Arbor University baseball team pulled out a split of a doubleheader with Davenport in dramatic fashion Wednesday.
Davenport won the first game 8-1 and led the second game 7-4 after a four-run outburst in the top of the seventh inning. Spring Arbor came back with four in the bottom of the seventh to escape with an 8-7 victory.
The Cougars scored the four runs on only one hit.
Two walks and two hit batsmen produced the first run, and Jon Herbig tied the game with a two-run single. Another walk reloaded the bases for Curtis Fisher, whose flyout to center field brought home the winning run.
Spring Arbor will conclude the regular season with a doubleheader at 1 p.m. Saturday at home against Goshen. The Cougars are 27-16.
• Albion 7-10, Rochester 0-2: Erin Giannotta pitched a two-hitter for her first shutout of the season in the first game, and Emily Carlson struck out 10 in a five-hitter in the second game.
Alyssa Castillo had five hits, including a home run and two doubles, and drove in four runs on the day for Albion. Morgan Barnes had three hits and two RBIs in the first game.

Today the 29th Reykjavik Open will take off in Harpa, the concert hall and conference centre in Reykjavík, Iceland. More than 250 players from over 40 different federations will play, with Arkadij Naiditsch (Germany) and Li Chao (China) as the top favorites. Live commentary from the playing hall will be available every round at Chess.com/TV.
The Reykjavik Open 2014 will be held for the 29th time from March 4th to March 12th 2014 in Harpa, the 28.000 sqm. concert hall in the capital of Iceland. This year the 50th anniversary is celebrated: in 1964 the first edition was won by Mikhail Tal with the record score of 12½ points out of 13.
The tournament was initially held every two years, but has since 2008 taken place every year. It was closed in its early years, but has been an open event since the 1980s. Throughout its history the Reykjavik Open has featured many of the strongest chess players in the world at the time, including Mikhail Tal, Nona Gaprindashvili, David Bronstein, Vasili Smyslov, Bent Larsen, Friðrik Ólafsson, Mark Taimanov, Lev Polugaevsky, Jan Timman, Victor Korchnoi, Samuel Reshevsky, Anthony Miles, Nigel Short, Hikaru Nakamura, Judit Polgar, Magnus Carlsen, Alexander Grischuk, Fabiano Caruana and Hou Yifan.
This year the tournament will again be bigger than ever: more than 250 players from over 40 different federations will participate. Arkadij Naiditsch (Germany) and Li Chao (China), both 2700+ GMs, will be the top favorites.
This year Reykjavik Open partners with Chess.com and as a result you can enjoy a live commentary show, hosted by FM Ingvar Johannesson (zibbit on Chess.com!) who is assisted by Fiona Steil-Antoni. And, of course, we're expecting many GM guests! Here's the schedule:
So don't miss the show and log into Chess.com/TV!
Are there any highlights? Where can I see them if I miss the live show?
Was there supposed to be live commentary today?
Does a draw qualify as an upset if you're outrated by 645 points? Canadian expert Daniel Abrahams (2055) drew Chao Li (2700) in the first round.
Magnus's dad is playing!
Lots of chess, like to watch, why not Carlsen, Anand there!
just another question: aren't you there live at reykjavik too?
No sure if I understand why there were like a month break without any tournament being played, and now, two strongs open (Reikjavik and European Championship) are played simultaneously :S
Live commentary by zibbit? Excellent!! Greatly looking forward to it!

So what do we have for a crisp, supposedly spring, Tuesday? (I was at the Altoona Curve game last night, and it felt cold enough to be playing football!)
psu2003 writes on the forum:
Listening to Phil Grosz yesterday (yes, I know for the most part he doesn't have a clue). He said he was at the Big33 practice in SC and was told by Joepa that he would be meeting with MRob shortly to figure out where he will be playing next year.
I hope it is explained to Robinson that a move to safety and two years at that position will guarantee him a chance to play on Sundays and for big $ as well. At 6'4 235 he would dominate and could be a Sean Taylor type. I think that if he understands that he will not be an nfl qb, his only alternative would be one year starting at psu and then that's it.
I did not hear Grosz, and am not sure exactly what was said. I only scour the web--I don't verify the dirt. It is not clear to me whether Paterno was going to push this move to safety to Robinson, or whether that is psu2003's personal opinion about what Paterno should offer.
Not to beat a dead lion, but Mrob probably won't get enough experience this year to lead a championship run next year--but then, barring an injury to Mills, no one else will either. This will be a difficult decision for the coaching staff--and Paterno in particular. How can you get Mrob playing time, without compromising the QB situation? He has not appeared to be the best QB yet, and his slash role last season did not prove highly effective--and it also compromised the running back situation as well. Maybe, just maybe. . .Galen has some ideas.
On the PA Sports Blog, you can read about the proper way to trash Penn State. Mark quotes a guy named Knopsnyder (with a name like Knopsnyder, it HAS to be good) who is a self-proclaimed Pitt fan. Knopsnyder also feels he has something worth saying about Penn State. I don't know about you, but when I hear Pitt fan, the rest just sounds like blah blah blah blah blah. It's like listening to Charlie Brown's teacher.
But if putting Penn State down isn't your cup of Joe, then try venting your wrath on a sportswriter. Oh, Heaven forbid, not me. No, not even our friend Heather from the Center Daily Times.
Daily Collegian football writer Robert Spruck (fondly known in the chant Spruck Sucks) found his 15 minutes of fame in the spotlight to be too bright.
No one ever remembers the positive articles that are written about the beloved Nittany Lions.
I have made mistakes. I never claimed I was perfect.
But the job of a reporter is to report on the team and what is happening. That's exactly what I feel I did. It's hard to be optimistic when the team is enduring a 3-9 season, and it's my opinion. I am allowed to have my opinion.
Hence, the "My Opinion" title above his very non-anonymous article. As a fellow scribe waxing poetic on the trials and tribulations of a Lion fan, I can sympathize with his plight. I have received a few less than complimentary emails from not-so-adoring fans. Mainly, Michigan fans--the few that can type. (Uh, oh, now I've done it--another slew of hate email is on its way for sure!) But at least I know you're paying attention!
On the other hand, I have never been booed at a football game. I have been asked to sit down. I have gotten evil glares from visiting fans, like the Alabama fan who took umbrage to me yelling, "roll him off the field, we're hot now" when a Lion drive was interrupted for an injury. In my defense, he wasn't badly hurt, he was right near the sideline so they wouldn't have had to roll him very far, and the delay was going to ruin our timing. What would you have yelled?
Todd's Odd? Todd Wad? Like, Oh my God!
Sponsler Sucks? (It just doesn't have that ring like Spruck's, does it?)
So, give us writers (or is that we writers, wee writers--oh, who cares!) a break once in a while. They can't all be perfect like me.

The 2009 Holiday Season didn't hold much cheer for the financially ailing American automobile industry. The biggest of the Big Three — General Motors — was on the ropes, in real danger of disappearing, and possibly taking upwards of a million jobs with it. The 100-year-old company, which once produced six of every 10 cars sold in America, had hit its nadir.
Rather than accept the pseudo-populist wisdom then emitting from atop the political stump — that the company should be broken up and its various parts sold — the federal government boldly invested $49.5 billion in GM and took a controlling 61 percent interest in the company. The American taxpayers effectively owned GM.
The investment may have saved the American economy from a disaster that would have rivaled the Great Depression.
The complainers, of course, didn't see it that way. Those who held that doing nothing was the best course of action, mocked GM as "Government Motors" and derided the move as a sure path to financial ruin.
To the dismay of the nay-sayers, the bailout worked.
On Tuesday the government sold its remaining stake in GM, leaving behind a transformed and financially robust carmaker that, under new leadership, had sold its corporate jets, shed its less-profitable products and started building cars people actually want — and can afford — to buy.
To look at the stock transaction as an accountant might, the deal was a poor one. Proceeds from the stock sale were $10.5 billion less than the initial investment.
That relatively trivial figure, barely a rounding error in today's $16.6 trillion economy, is not the loss to taxpayers that politically motivated critics would have us believe. The benefits of the rescue far outweighed the drawbacks.
Because of the federal intervention, the jobs of most auto workers and industry suppliers were saved and pensions were preserved.
Imagine what the already ailing economy would have been like if thousands of small businesses had quite suddenly disappeared and a million more people showed up on the unemployment line.
That grim scenario was fended off. The dark days of 2009 are gone. The 2013 Holiday Season is much cheerier. GM has returned as one of the world's largest automakers and has been increasingly profitable since 2010.
To give the importance of the achievement some perspective, a study by the Center for Automotive Research (CAR) reported that the automotive industry — of which GM is a keystone — generates something in the neighborhood of $100 billion in state and local taxes, and more than $43 billion in federal tax revenue each year.
Allowing General Motors to fail, and then doing without that powerful economic engine, would have been the real loss. More than that, it would have been unthinkably foolish.

Wauwatosa East boys basketball coach Tim Arndorfer is getting sick of just hanging around.
Friday night the Red Raiders lost their fifth game in six outings, dropping a 60-50 decision at Brookfield Central. The Lancers couldn't shake Tosa East all night before sinking 10 of 12 free throws down the stretch.
"We hang in there a lot, but hanging in there isn't good enough," a dejected Arndorfer said. "We battle back, but we are so good at giving leads right back to them. We can close gaps, and then let them extend leads. Unfortunately, that's what we've been very good at."
Central's two best players - Riley LaChance (4 minutes, 42 seconds) and Seth Mortag (3:24) - went to the bench with two fouls apiece in the first quarter, but the Lancers led 14-6. They were leading, 16-8, at 6:21 of the second quarter, when the Red Raiders went on a 9-0 run.
Junior guard Nate Moore hit two free throws, senior guard Diamonte Mckinley hit a 3-pointer, senior forward Riley Poe scored on a putback and then added two free throws to give Tosa East a 17-16 lead.
With 3:48 left in the half, Central put LaChance back in the game and the momentum changed.
First LaChance stole the ball and scored and then nailed a jumper for a 20-17 lead, but Tosa East junior guard Ben Carpenter nailed a 3-pointer to tie the game. The Lancers' Nick Olson put in a rebound shot, Matt Lauritzen scored on a drive and LaChance closed out the first half with two free throws for a 26-20 lead.
"There were different runs - a game within the game," Central coach Mark Adams said. "I didn't like the way we started out, then we picked up some fouls and instead of playing through it, we didn't have the 'next play' mentality like we talked about."
Tosa East came out and Mckinley hit a jumper and two free throws to cut the lead to 26-24, but that was as close as the Red Raiders would get.
Mortag - who scored 10 of his 15 points in the third period - sparked a 12-2 run from 6:38 through 3:19.
Mortag and LaChance scored on jumpers before LaChance turned two steals into two assists to Mortag, who slammed in two dunks to bring the crowd to its feet.
After Tosa East sophomore Ben Mihelich scored on a rebound, Mortag scored twice, the second on another assist from LaChance for a 38-26 lead.
Arndorfer is looking for people to step up for the Red Raiders, and Carpenter did just that in the third period.
Carpenter, who is an outstanding soccer and baseball player, scored nine of his team-high 14 points in the third quarter to keep the Red Raiders in the game. That total included four 3-pointers.
Carpenter nailed back-to-back 3-pointers to cut the lead to 38-32, LaChance put in two free throws, and Carpenter tossed in another 3 to cut the lead to 40-35 with 58.3 seconds left in the third quarter.
"Carpenter caught fire for them," Adams said, "and threw up 3's from the volleyball line. They made us work hard on defense. We made a little bit of a change - we stopped doing some double teaming and it seemed to help a little bit."
Central took a 47-38 lead in the fourth quarter, but Mckinley scored on a drive, was fouled and converted the free throw to cut the lead to 47-41 with 4:05 left to play. But the Red Raiders couldn't get closer than eight points the rest of the way.
Although the defense played a little better than the offense, the Red Raiders continued to have problems putting the ball in the basket.
"We don't make shots and have an inconsistent effort on the defensive end," Arndorfer said. "We can stop them, but if you're not scoring, it doesn't matter. Obviously again their length and size gave us trouble. But you can't gain possession when you have two of three turnovers in a row."
Arndorfer then praised Carpenter's efforts.
"He was the only one who stepped up and put the ball in the basket, and we're looking for that," he said. "We need to find guys who can score; missed layups, free throws - it's hard to win when playing like that."
Carpenter wasn't pleased with his first-half performance.
"I had to wake up. I had a terrible first half," he said. "I hit one 3, but I had three turnovers and I was letting guys get past me. I knew I had to step up in the second half. I told myself to try harder and when things started to fall and the momentum shifted our way a little bit … but then we lost at the end."
LaChance, who led all scorers with 21 points, knew the Lancers would have their hands full with the Red Raiders.
"That's how Tosa is. They are a good team that plays hard," the talented sophomore said. "That is one thing Tosa has always done over the years. I watched them growing up. They always play hard and get after it."
But lately, the Red Raiders just aren't closing it out.

Contact: Zach Manning, Lane County Environmental Health, 541-682-4436 or 503-545-7032
Lane County Public Health officials have been working closely with state health officials and want community members to know Oregon is continuously monitoring radiation levels with a well-established process.
There have been no elevated radiation readings detected in Oregon and air samples remain normal. Given the current size of the radiation release and the distance from Oregon, health officials do not expect that to change. There is no recommendation for community members to take potassium iodide. The pills would provide no benefit and some people could have serious medical problems from the medications including heart arrhythmias, allergic reactions, kidney function problems, and adverse interaction between the potassium iodide and other medications.
"There is no expectation that much-diluted radiation would reach Oregon at any level that would pose a health concern," said Jeff Lang, Environmental Health Manager. "However, when events occur that we have little or no control over, or appear to threaten our sense of safety, it's common for us to experience increased levels of fear and anxiety."
According to Lane County Mental Health, common signs of increased anxiety include, but are not necessarily limited to:
Reducing emotional suffering, such as anxiety, is difficult and requires sustained effort. The use of community services and supports (WhiteBird Crisis Services, churches, temples, and mosques) can assist community members in managing these feelings.
Other steps community members can take:
· Allow time for plenty of rest, while sticking to a normal schedule.
· Eat well-balanced and regular meals (even if you don't feel like it).
· Exercise or regular physical activity.
· Use your support system of friends and family.
· Talk about your feelings, fears, hopes and dreams.
· Maintain a balanced sense of humor.
· Talk with a qualified mental health professional.
· Talk with your doctor about the various medication used to treat anxiety.
The Oregon Public Health Emergency Preparedness Program and Radiation Protection Services continue to closely monitor information on the radiation release reported in Japan after an explosion at a reactor site. The Oregon Public Health Division will also continue its monitoring work as the situation in Japan develops and changes.
The Oregon Health Authority - Public Health Division's new website contains up-to-date current hazard information. The 'Current Hazards' page web address is: http://public.health.oregon.gov/Preparedness/CurrentHazards/
Or call the Office of Environmental Public Health in the Public Health Division of the Oregon Health Authority: 1-877-290-6767
Information is also available on the Lane County website at www.lanecounty.org under the Current Issues tab, click on "No Public Health Hazard from Radiation".

TV Ratings: 'Great Pumpkin' helps ABC split Thursday, while 'Elementary' outdraws 'Scandal'
Halloween delivers spookily low 'Vampire Diaries' ratings
"Its The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" comfortably outdrew ABC's normal 8 p.m. dramas and helped the network lead Thursday night among young viewers. Overall, though, CBS won despite a repeat of "Big Bang Theory" leading to significant drops for both "The Millers" and "Crazy Ones."
While CBS' comedies were down, CBS can be enthusiastic about "Elementary" beating "Scandal" overall for the first time this season, even if "Scandal" still dominated "Elementary" among young viewers.
A "Saturday Night Live" Halloween special gave NBC a big boost in the 8 p.m. hour over the network's usual comedies and helped "Sean Saves The World" outdraw "The Michael J. Fox Show" for the second straight week and also top its 9 p.m. companion among young viewers.
Halloween siphoned a lot of viewers away from "The Vampire Diaries," but The CW can take some solace in flat week-to-week demos for "Reign." ["Vampire Diaries" was preempted in New York City, which may account for some of the decline.]
And, finally, an "X Factor" clip show drew no interest at all for FOX, which had been hoping this would be a night dominated by Game 7 of the World Series.
On to the numbers... Keep in mind that TV usage is appreciably lower on Halloween night.
Among adults 18-49, ABC averaged a 2.6 rating for Thursday night, tops in the key demographic. CBS was second with a 2.0 key demo rating, beating NBC's 1.4 key demo rating. The CW and FOX both averaged a 0.7 key demo rating.
Overall, though, CBS averaged an estimated 9.36 million viewers and a 5.9 rating/10 share, beating ABC's 5.3/9 and 8.355 million viewers for Thursday primetime. NBC was a distant second with 4.45 million viewers and a 2.9/5, beating FOX's 2.6 million viewers and a 1.7/3. The CW averaged 1.85 million viewers and a 1.3/2 for the night.
8 p.m. - CBS still led the 8 p.m. hour both overall and among adults 18-49 for a repeat of "The Big Bang Theory" (11.56 million and a 2.5 key demo) and a new "The Millers" (9.57 million and a 2.0 key demo rating). ABC was second with 6.96 million viewers and a 2.2 key demo rating, doubling last week's "Once Upon a Time in Wonderland" among young viewers. NBC's "SNL Halloween" averaged 5.51 million viewers and a 1.7 key demo rating in third, far ahead of the 3.25 million viewers and 0.8 key demo rating for FOX's "X Factor" clip show. The CW's "The Vampire Diaries" averaged 2.11 million viewers and a 0.8 key demo rating, a big drop from last week, though "Vampire Diaries" has been regularly growing in Nationals.
9 p.m. - ABC's "Grey's Anatomy" won the 9 p.m. hour with 8.88 million viewers and a 2.6 rating among adults 18-49. CBS was second with a new "Crazy Ones" (8.06 million and a 1.9 key demo) and another "Big Bang Theory" repeat (8.39 million and a 2.0 key demo). NBC was third with "Sean Saves The World" (4.11 million and a 1.2 key demo) and "The Michael J. Fox Show" (3.615 million and a 1.1 key demo). FOX's "Glee" repeat averaged 1.96 million viewers and a 0.6 key demo rating, compared with the 1.59 million viewers and 0.6 key demo rating for "Reign."
10 p.m. - "Elementary" won the 10 p.m. hour with 9.35 million viewers and finished second with a 1.7 rating among adults 18-49, compared to the 9.23 million viewers and 2.9 key demo rating for "Scandal." NBC's "Parenthood" was a distant third with 3.97 million viewers and a 1.3 key demo rating.
All ratings information comes from preliminary Fast National Nielsen data, which includes live and same-day DVR viewing. All numbers are subject to change.

"If people think Colt is worthy to backup Aaron Rodgers, why not keep him and develop him ourselves so we can have a capable backup? Colt's a smart kid. Realistically he knows he's not going to be the starter here or anywhere else for now. If we keep him as a backup, he won't complain and will work hard to get better. I view Case's tweet as a good thing. The McCoy family wants Colt to still be a Brown, otherwise they wouldn't be so upset by a rumor of him getting traded.

With Mother's Day just around the corner, I'm sure that, like me, many of you are thinking about all the wonderful women whose time with their children was cut far too short after a breast cancer diagnosis. For me, it was the grandmother I never met.
Since we started the Love/Avon Army of Women last October, we've had one volunteer after another tell me that they decided to sign up for the Army of Women because their mom or grandmother had had breast cancer or because they were a mom and they feared their daughter would one day be diagnosed with this disease.
There were women like Samantha who told me:
I just had a little girl last year in October. Her grandmother sadly passed away from breast cancer before she even had a chance to hear the wonderful news. I am becoming a volunteer for both of them. Let's fight this battle together.
And women like Jeanne, who wrote:
For Pearl (my Great Grandmother), Millie (my Grandmother), Jacqueline (my Mother) … all of whom died of this dreadful disease I've joined this Army to fight this fight. And for Jennifer, my niece, in the hope that she will never be afflicted with it. This disease has taken a huge toll on my family and I hope to live to see it eradicated. God's Speed.
And Theresa, who said:
Being 43 and newly diagnosed with breast cancer, I can't help but think about all the special women in my life and how I never want them to have experience this (especially my two young daughters). It is these women, and others, who are on my mind when I think about the work that the Foundation has done and what we need to do next to move breast cancer research forward even faster.
Everyone who comes to know me quickly learns two things about me: I'm inpatient, and I'm in a hurry. I want to end this disease. Now. Thanks to supporters like you, the Foundation is poised to make this happen. But there is still much work to be done. That's why I'm asking that you consider supporting the Foundation by purchasing one of our Beyond a Cure pendants as a gift for your favorite Mom or by making a gift in honor of in memory of a special Mom in your life.
By making a donation today, you will be helping the Foundation make the dream that Samantha, Jeanne, Theresa, and so many others share, come true: Going beyond a cure to end this disease. Now.

SHELBY, MI -- A devastating fire on June 11 tore the heart out of downtown Shelby.
The Pizza Factory was one of four businesses destroyed in the massive overnight blaze that leveled the downtown area around Fourth Street and Michigan Avenue.
Pizza Factory owner Patricia Brown didn't waste any time starting over. Seven months after the devastating fire, the Pizza Factory is reopening in its new location across the street and a few doors down from the original location.
Brown plans to open the bigger and better Pizza Factory at 4 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 8. The signature lunch buffet returns from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. weekdays beginning on Wednesday.
"We've been in business for 25 years," she said. "We found out since the fire that a lot of people have missed us."
The Pizza Factory is a Shelby staple and many in the local community were pushing Brown to start over because they were missing their favorite eatery.
"Yes, (there was) a lot of pressure," said Brown. "A lot of people saying, 'Oh, you gotta rebuild, you gotta rebuild.' I just decided I was too young to retire. So I wanted to open again."
She had her eyes on an empty building across the street from the fire scene that was formerly a plumbing and heating supply store.
"We got this about the end of June, the beginning of July," Brown said. "Yeah, we started right away. We were hoping it wouldn't take quite so long. You know things, they have to go in steps – these steps can take a lot of time."
According to her son-in-law, Scott Stovall of Stovall Construction, they didn't start construction until mid-September and it took several months to get the necessary permits and engineer drawings approved for the project.
"There was a lot of red tape to get through to convert a plumbing and heating supply store into a restaurant," said Stovall, who served as Brown's contractor for the project.
With the help of her son-in-law and many skilled laborers, Brown completely remodeled her new building. The project included cutting out concrete floors, putting in all new plumbing, installing three compartment sinks for the kitchen, stringing all new electrical service and installing new rooftop and heating and air conditioning units.
"It took a lot of effort. It took a lot of money -- and a lot of labor," said Stovall.In a small town like Shelby, losing one of the main restaurants created a noticeable void. So for Stovall and Brown, the hard work and personal investment to get the place up and running again has been worth it.
According to Stovall, there's no other place in town where residents can go for a lunch buffet. For 25 years, the Pizza Factory was where people in Shelby would go to eat out at lunch and they will be able to again this week.
"We have a bigger building now and we have more room so we can accommodate more people," said Brown. "We hope we are gonna be bigger and better."
While Brown maintains that all of her recipes will be the same, one thing that will be different this time around will be an open bar and full menu. She said The Other End sports bar that also was consumed in the summertime fire won't be rebuilding, so she's trying to fill the void.
"We are in the process of trying to get the liquor license," said Brown. "That would be new. Since the bar isn't rebuilding we thought we'd go try to add the alcohol here."
This has been a year of setbacks for the 60-year old Brown. But instead of giving up she has embraced this new season of life and is getting back to work doing what she loves.
"You know, she was just about ready to retire and now she's starting over," said Stovall. "I think a big lesson learned is not to take life for granted because it can change on you overnight."

DETROIT -- Alex Avila could be back in Detroit any day now. Octavio Dotel is getting closer every day.
Avila and Dotel fared well Monday night while playing on rehabilitation assignments for Triple-A Toledo.
Avila went 2-for-3 with a double, two walks and a run scored before being replaced defensively in the eighth inning.
"There's a strong possibility that if everything is OK and he doesn't have any symptoms, he could return very soon," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said late Monday night. "We'll just have to wait and see."
Avila has been on the disabled list since Aug. 11 with delayed concussive symptoms.
Dotel has been on the disabled list much longer, since April 20, with right elbow inflammation. The Tigers transferred his rehabilitation assignment from Single-A Lakeland to Triple-A Toledo on Monday, and Dotel pitched for Toledo on Monday night.
Dotel struck out two and allowed a ground-rule double in one inning of shutout relief.

Children's Hospital Colorado joins CORHIO
- published_in
- Today's News
Financial terms of the agreement were not immediately available. Patient lab test results, imaging reports and other information will be put in the protected online database as part of the new agreement between the hospital and the Colorado Regional Health information Exchange Organization, or CORHIO.
The 20,000-square-foot Children's Hospital Colorado Therapy Care Center in Broomfield sees more than 22,000 patients per year, according to the hospital system.
Over time, the protected online database is expected to save health-care providers money, since it can help reduce the number of unnecessary repeat tests done, as well as help with other cost-saving measures, CORHIO executives have said in the past.
Since 2009, Children's Hospital Colorado has shared patient records electronically with Exempla Healthcare – including Exempla Good Samaritan Medical Center in Lafayette – and Kaiser Permanente Colorado through a separate electronic medical records system that all three health-care providers use.
In general, hospitals, doctors and other health-care providers pay up to $2,000 for one-time set-up and training to join the CORHIO program, according to the group's website. That amount currently is being waived through June to entice new sign-ups, according to the website. Hospitals then will pay annual fees of $2,400 to $25,200 and more to maintain the information, depending on how many beds they have at their facilities.
CORHIO is a nonprofit group supported mostly by federal grants and awards from groups such as the Colorado Health Foundation. The group plans to become self-sustaining over time through user fees.

Nintendo applauds handhelds and looks to 2005
With the new year dawning, Nintendo have praised the performance of their handheld platforms in 2004, whilst promising big for 2005. The DS platform sold an impressive 1.3 million units in North America alone since its late-October debut, and the firm states that 120 new games for the format are en route in 2005. The GBA meanwhile sold an incredible 8 million units in the region, and will be enjoying some 125 titles throughout the year - all of which will also work on the DS, happily.
WarioWare Touched!, Pokemon Dash, Yoshi Touch & Go, Need for Speed Underground 2 and Retro Atari Classics should all do good business for Ninty on the DS early in 2005, and whilst only sixty new games are promised for the GameCube console, a roster of high quality titles should make for a better year for the ailing format. Tellingly, no hardware sales figures were offered on this front. GC owners should not despair however, for look what is to be yours within the next twelve months: Geist, Donkey Konga Jungle Beat, Resident Evil 4 and Killer 7 - among many new releases. I thank you.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- New York's fallen military heroes will continue to receive funerals with live performances of Taps, U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer promised Thursday.
Schumer (D-N.Y.) said after reports surfaced that the New York National Guard would substitute electronic recordings for live buglers -- due to federal budget cuts -- he sought clarification.
He said he's been assured that won't be the case in New York.
Said Schumer: "This is a great nation and a hallmark of a great nation is treating its fallen warriors with the respect they deserve. By preserving the live playing of Taps, we have taken a step in that direction."
The senator's office said contract buglers are paid through a specific fund, and that concern had arisen in some quarters that the Guard's program monies for that purpose would be altered, beginning with the start of the current federal fiscal year, July 1.
Schumer said that won't be the case here.
Taps, a musical patriotic tribute to the ultimate sacrifice of service personnel, has been a U.S. military tradition since its origins in 1862, Schumer's office noted.
"The families of our fallen military heroes can rest a little easier knowing their son or daughter, husband or wife, mother or father, sister or brother will get the dignified send-off they deserve if the worse befalls them," added Schumer.
