If your baby cries about the same time each day and nothing you do seems to offer comfort, your baby may have colic. Colic is often defined as crying more than three hours a day, three days a week for more than three weeks in an otherwise well-fed, healthy baby. What is most important for the diagnosis is sustained crying in an otherwise healthy baby for a regular period of the day lasting for several weeks.
Colic can be distressing for both you and your baby. But take comfort: Colic is relatively short-lived. In a matter of weeks or months, the colic will end, and you'll have weathered one of the first major challenges of parenthood.
Fussing and crying are normal for infants, and a fussy baby doesn't necessarily have colic. In an otherwise healthy, well-fed baby, signs of colic include:
- Predictable crying episodes. A baby who has colic often cries about the same time every day, usually in the late afternoon or evening. Colic episodes may last from a few minutes to three hours or more on any given day. The crying usually begins suddenly and for no clear reason. Your baby may have a bowel movement or pass gas near the end of the colic episode.
- Intense or inconsolable crying. Colic crying is intense and often high pitched. Your baby's face may flush, and he or she is extremely difficult — if not impossible — to comfort.
- Posture changes. Curled up legs, clenched fists and tensed abdominal muscles are common during colic episodes.
Colic affects as many as 25 percent of babies. Colic usually starts a few weeks after birth and often improves by age 3 months. By ages 4 to 5 months, the majority of babies with colic have improved.
When to see a doctor
Seek immediate medical attention if your baby's crying could be the result of a fall or injury.
Contact your baby's doctor if you're concerned about your baby's crying, especially if you notice changes in your baby's eating, sleeping or behavior. You can help your baby's doctor by tracking in a diary when your baby cries and for how long. Also record your baby's sleeping and eating patterns.
The cause of colic is unknown. Researchers have explored a number of possibilities, including allergies, lactose intolerance, an immature digestive system, maternal anxiety, and differences in the way a baby is fed or comforted. Yet it's still unclear why some babies have colic and others don't.
Risk factors
Infants of mothers who smoke during pregnancy or after delivery have a greater risk of developing colic.
Many other theories about what makes a child more susceptible to colic have been proposed, but none have been proved. Colic doesn't occur more often among firstborns or formula-fed babies. A breast-feeding mother's diet isn't likely to trigger colic. Girls and boys — no matter what their birth order or how they're fed — experience colic in similar numbers.
Although colic often takes a toll on the entire family, it doesn't appear to have any lasting medical consequences. Babies who have colic grow and develop normally.
Preparing for your appointment
When you take your baby to his or her pediatrician or family doctor, it's a good idea to be well prepared for your appointment. Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment, and what to expect from your doctor.
What you can do
- Track your baby's crying episodes, including when and how often they occur, how long they last, and any observations you've made about your baby's behavior before, during and after the episodes.
- Write down how you've tried to soothe your baby and the results.
- Write down questions to ask your doctor.
- Record your baby's diet and feeding schedule, as well as weight gain or loss.
Preparing a list of questions will help you make the most of your time together. List your questions from most important to least important in case time runs out. For colic, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
- Does my baby have colic or is there another reason for the crying episodes?
- What effects can colic have on my baby's growth and development?
- What is the best course of action?
- Are there any brochures or other printed material that I can take home with me? What websites do you recommend visiting?
- What should my family and I do to cope with the crying?
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask questions during your appointment.
What to expect from your doctor
Your baby's doctor is likely to ask a number of questions, such as:
- What other behaviors might your baby display during a crying episode?
- When does the crying usually occur?
- How long do crying episodes tend to last?
- What does your baby's cry sound like?
- What things do you do to try to soothe your baby?
- Does your baby have any problems with eating?
- What do you feed your baby and how often do you feed him or her?
- How often and how much does your baby spit up?
- Does your baby ever seem to have trouble breathing during these episodes?
- How do you cope when your baby is crying?
- How has your baby's crying affected your family?
- What do you think might be causing your baby's crying?
Tests and diagnosis
Your baby's doctor will do a physical exam to identify any possible causes for your baby's distress, such as an intestinal obstruction. If your baby is otherwise healthy, he or she may be diagnosed with colic.
Lab tests, X-rays and other diagnostic tests aren't usually needed, but in unclear cases they help to exclude other diagnoses.
Treatments and drugs
Colic improves on its own, often by age 3 months. In the meantime, there are few treatment options. Gas-relief medications, such as simethicone (Gas-X Infant Drops, Infants' Mylicon Gas Relief, others), haven't proved very helpful.
Some research suggests that treatment with probiotics — substances that help maintain the natural balance of "good" bacteria in the digestive tract — can soothe colic. More research is needed, however, to determine the effects of probiotics on colic.
Talk to your baby's doctor before giving your baby any medication to treat colic.
Lifestyle and home remedies
Your baby's doctor may not be able to fix colic or make it go away sooner, but there are many ways you can try to soothe your baby. Consider these suggestions:
- Feed your baby. If you think your baby may be hungry, try a feeding. Hold your baby as upright as possible, and burp your baby often. Sometimes more frequent — but smaller — feedings are helpful. If you're breast-feeding, it may help to empty one breast completely before switching sides. This will give your baby more hindmilk, which is richer and potentially more satisfying than the foremilk, which is present at the beginning of a feeding.
- Offer a pacifier. For many babies, sucking is a soothing activity. Even if you're breast-feeding, it's OK to offer a pacifier to help your baby calm down.
- Hold your baby. Cuddling helps some babies. Others quiet when they're held closely and swaddled in a lightweight blanket. To give your arms a break, try a baby sling, backpack or other type of baby carrier. Don't worry about spoiling your baby by holding him or her too much.
- Keep your baby in motion. Gently rock your baby in your arms or in an infant swing. Lay your baby tummy down on your knees and then sway your knees slowly. Take a walk with your baby, or buckle your baby in the car seat for a drive. Use a vibrating infant seat or vibrating crib.
- Sing to your baby. A soft tune might soothe your baby. And even if lullabies don't stop your baby from crying, they can keep you calm and help pass the time while you're waiting for your baby to settle down. Recorded music may help, too.
- Turn up the background noise. Some babies cry less when they hear steady background noise. When holding or rocking your baby, try making a continuous "shssss" sound. Turn on a kitchen or bathroom exhaust fan, or play a tape or CD of environmental sounds, such as ocean waves, a waterfall or gentle rain. Sometimes the tick of a clock or metronome does the trick.
- Use gentle heat or touch. Give your baby a warm bath. Softly massage your baby, especially around the tummy.
- Give your baby some private time. If nothing else seems to work, a brief timeout might help. Put your baby in his or her crib for five to 10 minutes.
- Mix it up. Experiment to discover what works best for your baby, even if it changes from day to day.
- Consider dietary changes. If you breast-feed, see if eliminating certain foods from your own diet — such as dairy products, citrus fruits, spicy foods or drinks containing caffeine — has any effect on your baby's crying. If you use a bottle, a new type of bottle or nipple might help.
- Let someone else take over for a time. It's stressful to listen to your baby cry for long periods, so give yourself a break. Arrange ahead of time for someone you can call to help with the baby so that you can have a few moments of relief.
Alternative medicine
Some parents report soothing their crying infants with alternative remedies. The remedies include:
- Herbal teas
- Herbal remedies, such as fennel oil
- Glucose
- Massage therapy
Alternative therapies for colic haven't proved to be consistently helpful, however, and some might even be dangerous. Talk to your baby's doctor before trying any alternative therapies for colic.
Coping and support
Caring for an infant who has colic can be exhausting and stressful, even for experienced parents. Remember to take care of yourself, too. These suggestions may help:
- Take a break. When you've done what you can, ask your spouse or partner or another loved one to take over for a while. Take advantage of baby-sitting offers from friends or neighbors. Even an hour on your own can help refresh you.
- Express your feelings. It's normal for parents in this situation to feel helpless, depressed or angry. Confide in your spouse, partner or other good listener.
- Try to stay positive. Don't measure your success as a parent by how much your baby cries. Colic isn't a result of poor parenting.
- Make healthy lifestyle choices. Eat healthy foods. Make time for exercise, such as a brisk daily walk. If you can, sleep when the baby sleeps — even during the day. Avoid alcohol and other drugs.
- Remember that it's temporary. Colic episodes often improve by age 3 months.
It's also important to recognize your limits. If your baby's crying is causing you to lose control, put the baby in a safe place — such as a crib — and go to another room to collect yourself. If necessary, contact your doctor, a local crisis intervention service or a mental health help line for additional support. These suggestions apply not only to parents but also to any other person who cares for your child.

Heya, I just want to do a quick comment on this. It's been partly answered. But I want to make sure that you don't connect the parallel leads between two different 6s packs that are in series, together. Because that would represent a short. .... and ...Different chemistries also have different charging profiles......
Hobbit wrote:Ah perfect, I'm right at the point of ordering/building my first lipo pack. Excellent timing, I know there's loads of info on this forum already but a "lipo for dummies" thread is awesome.
Alan B wrote:Hi James. Charging at 2A into a 5AH battery is 2/5 C or 0.4C
5 amps would be the recommended 1C. Of course as more batteries are paralleled the charge rate can go way up.
I think my Turnigy recommends 2C max, so 1C max is a good limit. I don't like to push things to their max, they set those max ratings for RC use where folks are in a hurry and don't expect their batteries to last as long. 20C is the discharge rate.

If you run a discharge cycle how many mah do you get out of that turnigy?
20C *5Ah=100A

Hello "theprince"! welcome to Basic LiPo Thread:
The answer to nomad85's question would not be in Amperes, but in "Ampere-hours" (he says "mah", same thing). To get that number, you would multiply time by Ah.
I'll make ya'all a deal: I'll do some LiPo discharge in the next few days and post the data by this weekend. It would be useful to provide that information in this thread on the Turnigy 6S 20C 5000mA packs, as I'll need that data myself anyway to plan a battery build.
nomad85 wrote: Sounds good. I only get approx. 4130 mAh from my never used zippy 20c 5Ah battery when I run a discharge cycle.
jkbrigman wrote:Here's what the harness looks like when finished. (I didn't use the butt splices, but they can be used later to make other harnesses.) Total cost for this harness came to just under 8 bucks. For what I've spent so far, I have enough bullet connectors and crimp splices that I can make several more cables for an additional cost of about $2 for the cable (more $1.97 extension cords) and whatever I can buy the banana plugs for.
There's no reason the harness has to be for only three - you can make it four, five or six parallel bricks and the 16 gauge stranded copper cable should be able to carry as much current as the little 250W charger can put out. (The cable is rated for about 1300 watts total, at 125V)
I took photos at each step of the way, will start another thread if anyone asks.

One thing that I liked about the xbee air unit was its tiny wire antenna.
Are there other options for the air unit besides the right angle antenna?
Hi Mark,
You can remove the little RP-SMA connector and put on a wire antenna if you like. Just make sure you make it the right length for the frequency you're using. Solder the wire to the middle of the 3 antenna pads. Alternatively it should work fine to just solder the wire antenna onto the middle pin of the 3 pin RP-SMA connector where it connects to the board while leaving the connector in place. That will allow you to easily remove it later if you want to use a RP-SMA antenna again.
The prototypes came with wire antennas so I've been flying these radios with a wire antenna for a while, and it certainly works well for small planes. I even used a wire antenna for my 7.6km long range test.
Cheers, Tridge
Thanks Tridge, that's just what I needed to know.
Hi Andrew,
So what are the right lengths of wire for the two frequencies of 3DR radios sold on diydrones? Do you happen to have any pictures of your simple wire antenna's to get the idea? Do they work just as well ?
Hi Rick,
What you want is a "quarter wavelength". That comes to about 8cm for a 915MHz radio, and about 17cm for a 433MHz radio.
I find the wire antennas do work well. I don't have any comparative numbers as I don't have the right sort of equipment to do accurate testing, but I've certainly been happy with my wire antennas.
Look in the 3DR wiki page under the amplifier section for a picture of one of my radios with a wire antenna.
Cheers, Tridge
Hi Tridge,
You mean that little white wire? Would that work on both the "air" and "ground" module?
Hi Rick,
yep, that's the antenna. It works at either end.
Cheers, Tridge
I have a problem with rf noise coming from the xbee causing servo jitter. How can I remove the white wire antenna and relocate it away from my servos?
There's a simple solution... I wouldn't unsolder your SMA connector!
Just take a pigtail from something you have laying around or order a cheap one from ebay. By "pigtail" I mean a piece of coax cable with a RP-SMA connector on at least one end.
Cut the cable as needed. Figure this by adding antenna length + any distance you want from the radio to the outside of your plane. Now strip off the shield the proper distance for your frequency from the non-SMA end. Optionally shrink tube it a bit for added durability.
RC receivers often use this method. This way you have a better antenna that is more easily placed properly and you don't have to remove anything from the board. The "antenna" is the end length of coax where you have removed the shield.

I have been seeing stuff about potential rotator cuff injuries from surfing/swimming on this forum quite a bit. I have looked it up on the internet but cant decipher the medical jargon so can someone please explain to me what I need to do to avoid this - and possibly what it is as it seems fairly common. I dont excersise regularly but when I do I tend to go for it so am quite injury prone.
Also, I have managed to find stuff on 'surfers ear' which I looked up after a very choppy day at Boscombe where I was very aware that water was just flushing straight into my ears when I turned my face away from the waves - it actually hurt. The info I have seen looks pretty scary to be honest, I had an outer-ear infection last year, not related to surfing but didnt finish the course of antibiotics (tut tut I know!) and expected it to clear itself up - kind of has (ish).
Does anyone wear the earplug things I have seen on the net, has anyone had problems with this?
P.s im not a hypochondriac (not much! haha) just want to be well informed.

Okay... the 2007 results have not yet been posted... after 11 months. I've emailed the race organization twice to inquire about the results posting, but I've never received an answer. The course was okay, but an earlier start would be better, since it go a tad warm near the end of my sub-four-hour marathon. The food was pretty skimpy. There are just too many other marathons to run, so I won't run this one again.
Small marathons typically bring out the highest quality of race organization. Hands down, this is the biggest exception to that rule. It's a shame because this had the potential to be a very nice run. Still waiting on those results, now over 4 months late. I sure hope no one was planning on using this as their BMQ!
But the race organizers will take forever to post the results... if they ever do!!! The 2007 results are still not posted. What's up with that?
This is a great marathon to run! It's small (about 100 full marathoners), so don't expect a lot of amenities, big crowds, bands playing, or anything like that. It's a flat out-and-back course, that starts on roads, spends a few miles on a paved path along the Rio Grande, and returns to a back road to the turn-around. Scenic, and well supported with fluids. Basic t-shirt and medal. Modest food at the end. Lots of category awards. Friendly support staff. It can get a bit warm if you are a 4-hour-plus runner. But the views are worth it. I'd run it again in a minute! One of my favorites.
It was my first half marathon and I appreciated the friendliness of the organizers, the family-run size of the event and how everything went smoothly. Good water station planning (every mile) and a few very patient and supportive young kids handing out paper cups for a day. I would have avoided the dirt road in the middle miles. Overall, a very good start; I am ready for a bigger one now.
This is the first 1/2 marathon that I've run that provided dinner, medal, t-shirt, Kachina Doll, and lunch at the end!!!! This is my 10th 1/2 marathon. My husband and I drove from AZ, and it was well worth it. We met friendly people. The whole experience was very pleasant. "Hi" to the couple from Iowa, and I wonder if the wife won in her age category....
This was a wonderful small race. The out-and-back course was flat through country roads and through a river bed trial. I loved the finish with a victory lap in the stadium. Water and Gatorade were provided every other mile, but no gels were given. I was lucky to have brought my own. The only major problem was that some of the vehicles sharing the road did not give the runners much room. I mean they did not move enough to the left of the road to let two runners run side by side. I had to get off the road at times. A runner ahead of me had a close call with a van's mirror. I hope the race gets bigger so that the organizers can afford to pay for more traffic control. Thanks to the organizers and all the friendly volunteers.
A great group of volunteers put on this marathon. Nice people manage it and run in it. If you like a smaller race, this is it - without a crowd at the start. The weather was great: 40F at race time, 60F at the finish, and sunny.
A well-aided race. Volunteers every mile. This was a small race, so it had a lonely finish. The last three miles are kind of brutal along the side of a road in the heat. Great volunteers!
There needs to be water at the end of the marathon - the cooler of water was EMPTY when my friend finished. Water bottles would have been nice. The people with water and Gatorade along the course were very nice and supportive. The start in the parking lot with speed bumps could have been avoided.

Ed Miliband: the patriotism of a refugee
The Labour leader recalls how he imbibed Jewish history from his mother and father.
By Ed Miliband Published 23 May 2012"The first Jewish leader of the Labour Party." It says something about me and about Britain that I am rarely described as such.
I am not religious. But I am Jewish. My relationship with my Jewishness is complex. But whose isn't?
My family history often feels distant and far away. Yet the pain of this history is such that I feel a duty to remember, understand and discuss it – a duty that grows, rather than diminishes, over time.
As children we were only dimly aware of it but we caught glimpses. When I was seven, my family went to visit my grandmother in Tel Aviv. Pointing at a black-and-white photograph, I demanded to know who was "that man in the picture". I remember being taken swiftly out of the room and then being told quietly that he was my grandfather David, who had died in Poland long before I was born. It was only some years later that I realised my mum's father had died in a concentration camp, murdered by the Nazis for being Jewish.
Intertwined heritage
Before she arrived in Britain in 1947, my mother had spent the war under an assumed name, being sheltered by heroic people who took her in.
My dad came here in 1940. He would happily talk about his time in the Royal Navy during the war but, for a man who could discuss almost anything, he generally steered clear of the events that brought him here.
As a 16-year-old he caught one of the last boats from Ostend to Britain. The family had decided, with German soldiers closing in, that Jewish men were most at risk, so his mother and sister were left behind. He did not see either of them again until after the war was over.
Like many others from Holocaust families, I have a paradoxical relationship with this history. On one level I feel intimately connected with it – this happened to my parents and grandparents. On another, it feels like a totally different world.
When I was in my late twenties, I went back to Poland with my mother to visit the town of Czestochowa, where she had spent so much of her childhood. As we left a house in which she once sheltered, a man pointed at us, shouting: "The Jews are coming to take back their property." That was another glimpse of the world she had come from and an echo of the ancient hatreds that propelled my family to Britain 70 years ago.
So how can my Jewishness not be part of me? It defines how my family was treated. It explains why we came to Britain. I would not be leader of the Labour Party without the trauma of my family history.
For me, my Jewishness and my Britishness are intertwined. My parents defined themselves not by their Jewishness but by their politics. They assimilated into British life outside the Jewish community. There was no bar mitzvah, no Jewish youth group; sometimes I feel I missed out.
And yet, I did not miss out on many other aspects of Jewishness: my mum got me into Woody Allen; my dad taught me Yiddish phrases (there is no better language for idiomatic expressions, some of them unrepeatable). And my grandmother cooked me chicken soup and matzo balls.
Although my wife Justine is not Jewish, my Jewishness is part of me, so when we got married last year, we broke a glass at our wedding, an old Jewish ritual. I will explain our heritage and the connection to my boys. I will encourage them to identify with it and, when they have got past CBeebies, I will sit down and watch Woody Allen with them.
But what about being leader of the Labour Party? At an event organised recently by the Jewish charity Norwood, a member asked me whether being Jewish complicated my approach to Israel or the Middle East.
My answer was an emphatic "no". I support a two-state solution because I long for the peace that both Palestinians and Israelis need so badly. And if that says something about me, it also says a lot about Britain that I know I will be judged not for my background but for what I believe.
I also get to do things as leader of the Labour Party which I might not have had the chance to do before. One night, I went to a dinner with Jonathan Sacks, the Chief Rabbi, where we sang a traditional prayer. I remember thinking my grandparents – their grandparents, too – would have said the same words.
A better place
I have seen the huge contribution the Jewish community makes to our national life, in business, in charities, in arts and culture. It is a strong and confident community, proud of its Jewishness and proud, too, of Britain.
In a way that I would never have realised when I was growing up, the patriotism of the Jewish community, the patriotism of the refugee, is something I now see existed in my dad, even though he might have denied it.
He preferred coming back to going on holiday. He revelled in the spirit he had seen in the navy. He was grateful to Britain for saving him from terror, for providing us with the security of a home.
Above all, what I see in so many parts of the Jewish community is a desire to leave the world a better place than you found it. Whatever people's politics, that is so familiar from the upbringing my parents gave me.
I was not indoctrinated with Marxism. Nor was I brought up with religion. But I was given a sense that the world could be a better, fairer and different place. And we all have a duty in our own way and our own time to seek to make it so.
Ed Miliband is the MP for Doncaster North and leader of the Labour Party.

You could at very least replaced Liam Byrne, for a start, if you were at all sincere and not a naked opportunist.
Your family suffered the evil, deadly brunt of demonisation and scapegoating simply for Jewish.
Yet, if your politics has been informed by this experience, how is it then that the vast majority of disabled people feel that far from opposing the "benefit-scrounging scum" narrative (that has seen an exponential increase in disabililty hate crime according to the police) you have, in fact, contributed to it with your "I met a man - he was on sickness benefit - but I knew he could work" statements and your "alarm-clock Britain" narrative that posits the idea that there exists an army of scroungers in Britain who would rather choose to lie in and live in abject poverty rather than go to work and have a life like everyone else.
The government's empirical evidence itself shows clearly that this is myth.
It was your party that introduced the DWP/AtoS 'Work Capability Assessment' which Britain's GPs voted for an end to with "immediate effect" last week. Yet your party remains unrepentant and unwilling to accept your wrongdoing and responsibility in bringing in fascist style "assessment" centres where sick and/or disabled peoples' grave illnesses are systematically and unlawfully denied and where their fundamental human rights are breached.
Sorry, Ed. I think it's a bit rich for you, of all people, to say that the experience of the Jewish people's suffering and persecution has informed your politics.
There are as many different kinds of Jews and Jewish opinions as there are Jewish people. Michael Howard and Michael Rifkind both hail from English and Scottish jewry and they are both Tories. Tony Greenstein is Jewish and anti-zionist. One room, two Jews and three opinions is a bit of a cliché but it's a good one.
All I am saying is - leave it out. To too many disabled people who are currently experiencing what can rightly be described as a modern-day pogrom, your words ring hollow, and that's putting it very mildly.
Think about it.
I couldn't care less if Ed Miliband is Jewish or the son of a refugee or not. The fact that he is the son of a Marxist is more important. That he is an immature, upper-middle-class socialist, student-union hack makes it revolting and perverse to see him call himself a "patriot". Student Grants like him always put their own country last.
Woody Allen, give me a break. To Jews who are actually Jews, and care about it. And don't see Israel has the center of satanic evil, ( which seems to be the prevailing view in merry old England, the England of the white paper and Bevin ) This guy is kind of nauseating.
Yes, because every British government is always bending over backwards to criticise Israel and take the Palestinians' part, isn't it?

What if Milliband had a Palestinian background? Would people still vote for him as Prime Minister?
While everyone's entitled to their opinion, it's frankly kind of sad that you even have to have this.
NS says that Galloway is now a Muslim MP. He gets endless questions and lots of people have a go at him. He politely tries to say, it's a private matter. However, the MSM Hype Machine won't let it die.
How Milliband deals with being Jewish is up to him. But also, how come nobody's giving him the third degree on this? Is this an early Labour piece to position himself as the next Prime Minister? Is he trying to tap into Obamamania (Obama's the first black President. Milliband will be the first Jewish Prime Minister)? Romney might be the first Mormon President. So we'd better deal with the religious issue now?
Or maybe it's because if you do ask questions about this you'll be called "anti-semetic"?

Where's the Fire?
Handicapped skiers end up the big winners when firefighters compete in one of Maine's most hilarious winter contests.
- By: Joshua F. Moore
- Photography by: Herb Swanson
Anyone who has ever clicked into a set of skis can attest to the challenge of just getting down the hill in one piece. Now try it wearing a full set of firefighter's bunker gear and hauling a fifty-foot section of fire-hose.
That's what happens every winter at Sunday River, where up to eighteen fire departments race each other on the giant slalom gates of the Tempest trail, one of the resort's challenging runs. "The physics involved in managing the hose is pretty dramatic," remarks Eric Topper, a volunteer with the Newry Fire Department who has participated as a telemark skier in the past two of the event's twenty-year history. "You want your strongest skier in the back, because the whip effect is pretty strong back there."
Topper and all the others who take part in this oddball competition (it's scheduled for March 27 this year) are quick to point out that while the course attire is silly, the goal is not. The Fireman's Race is part of a weekend-long ski-a-thon that raised $330,000 for Maine Handicapped Skiing last year, largely through these firefighting-skiers' entry fees, chili cook-offs, and other slopeside fundraisers. "For someone with a disability, the expenses over a lifetime are a million dollars-plus," says Peter Adams, executive director of Maine Handicapped Skiing.
"We feel it's really important to reduce that barrier to encourage people to try what we do." Thanks to events like this one, Maine Handicapped Skiers helps disabled skiers enjoy the mountains without spending a dime, covering everything from lift tickets to assistants and even the use of five-thousand-dollar "sit-skis" that let wheelchair-bound participants zip down even the most challenging mogul run.
That's a laudable goal, but even Adams admits the annual Fireman's Race is about fun as much as fundraising. "You get into that silly time of the year where it's warm enough, there's still a lot of snow on the ground, and the light is wonderful," he says. "This is really a celebration of the season."

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Senior administrators with the city of Jacksonville discovered they have more than $1 million to spend.
Action News has learned city officials have a new plan to spend $1.3 million in grant money they never distributed.
According to a city spokesman, the city plans on spending $160,000 on cutting the grass along streets. It will also spend $260,000 on maintenance for city parks. Both of those were cut in last year's budget. The city will shell out the remaining amount, $934,000, to remove all extraordinary lapses that were placed in the fiscal year 2012-2013 general fund budget. That's money that will help alleviate any revenue shortfalls or budget reductions.
The president of the Jacksonville Fire Fighters Union, Randy Wyse, says city leaders need to put a priority on public safety.
"I think you really ought to look at the priorities of what city government is about," said Wyse. "Cutting grass is important but also public safety and I don't think people realize, there are some serious cuts that are being threatened by the fire chief on public safety."
City council finance committee chair, John Crescimbeni, says council members will carefully examine every penny to ensure the best bang for the taxpayer buck.
"Our city budget is always a balancing act and we try to address priorities and we have a wide spectrum of priorities. I think that public safety was pretty adequately covered in this year's city budget."
Any decision on how the money will be spent must be approved by the full city council.

Reebok Sublite Pro Rise Basketball Shoes ~
Although I work in a factory setting and spend most of my free time with my family, I am not a huge fan of standard tennis shoes or casual shoes. I prefer basketball shoes. In my younger years I was a pretty decent basketball player, and that's when my love of basketball shoes developed. When we were given the opportunity to review a pair of Reeboks, I was thrilled.

- Touch the Rim
- Leg-Press 2.25 Times Your Weight
- Swim 700 Yards in 12 Minutes

More Fitness Lists
We have a lot of time on our hands, so the other day we looked up "fit"
in the dictionary. We read about fit (as in flipping out) and fit (as
in what your hat should do) before finally landing on definition number
three: "Sound physically and mentally."
Not exactly helpful. After all, it doesn't say squat about how many
pushups a man should be able to do. Or how much weight he should be
able to lift. Or how fast he should be able to sprint. Which is why
we've taken matters into our own hands.
On the following pages, you'll find our definition of fit—10
simple (though by no means easy) things every man must be able to do
before he stamps himself "in shape." Says who? Says us.
The good news: If you don't measure up to our admittedly high
standards right away, we've given you the tips and training strategies
you need to get there quickly. Then you won't need to look in a
dictionary for the definition of fit. You'll just need to look in a mirror.
What test can you use if your over the age of 60?? I can't touch the rim any more but give me a ruler to go by for age.

I agree with Brownie, you never give any advise for older men. I'm 53 and I also can't touch the rim but, can beatkids 17 years old in a game of basketball, bench press 200# and run a 1-1/2 miles in 13 minutes. What are our guideleines
July 18, 8:50am
I'm not trying to be a smart-ass here gentlemen, but since I've been reading MH online, I've never considered any of the advice given on exercise/diet etc. to be for any particular age group. I'm 57 and I just use whatever advice feels good for me. I know when I've reached my limit whether it's cardio or weights.I believe every man should be able to use some of the advice given here. See your doctor first, and then get with it.
July 18, 10:58am
Dear MH,
I found the standards list very helpful and great model for me to set my goals toward. As a Military Retired Veteran, age 56 I'm trying to establish my fitness program again. This list is just what I need to aim high and set the bar higher if need be.
Thank you for sharing.
Very Respectfully,

I agree with the other guys ...you have a whole slew of readers from the baby boomer generation who pioneered this whole fitness revolution over the last 35 years. So what about some guidelines for the 50 plus fitness addict?
But make no mistake, I can do every one of these things on the list cuz Im a bad mo fo! LOL!Bobby Brown
July 18, 1:00pm
I'm with Brownie. Actually his older 'brother' by a few years. In spinning classes I show 'grandkids' how to do it. Once in a while think of us.

July 24, 10:38am
As another "older" guy, I have to agree with some of these other writers. It seems as though MH gives us less attention. I'm going to compete in a 5K race this evening and hoping to break 24 minutes. How does that compare? I can't touch the rim anymore or run 1.5 miles under 10 minutes, but I will probably run another marathon this fall.
July 27, 3:34pm
Anyone who can complete all of these is probably taking some type of PED. Even when I was 20, at the peak of my physical fitness I could maybe do half this list. This from someone with a 350 bench press, 4.5 fourty, and could dunk a basketball.
July 27, 7:28pm
GREAT LIST Adam Campbell Its a great standard PLEASE make a fit list for teens
so i can see how i am doing. I can do a 300 shuttle<60sec and 1.5 mi<10 min no problem but i am not considered fast
you could maybe add a pullup standard PLEASE HELP WITH A TEEN LIST
THANKS AGAIN I APPRECIATE ITYosi
August 3, 2:45pm
Are ya'll serious that this list is hard??? I am twenty, take only protein and can do everything on this list in excellent category save the sit and reach (since no listings are given) and I might not be able to do the swim, but pretty sure I could. I just started running and have been for 3 weeks adn can definatley run 1.5 miles under 10 minutes. Granted I was a state champion athlete and am usually a pretty good athlete, but i know several better athletes, if you can't do at least 8 of the 10 you just aren't that athletically gifted or arent fit, face it.
August 4, 6:16pm
I am also 20 and have not been on a workout program for 2 years besides odd workouts a few times a month. I can do all of the list except the swimming (I don't swim) and currently the 1.5 bench. I'm nothing special: low bench press for my 175 weight, can't dunk, didn't especially excel at any sport I tried, and I'm not "big". It's time for people looking for get-fit-quick tips on the internet to work harder. I really do like this list, though, as I agree with most of it (except the basketball toss) for general fitness abilities
August 5, 3:10pm
I can do everything on the list no problem. Hell I exceed half the list.
August 8, 12:25pm
Totally agree, this mag is only for the 18-35 crowd. What other mags can the 50+ (but still athletic) set read?
August 13, 10:14pm
Adam? Are you reading these? How about a response. What exactly is MH's target audience with regard to all these workout and standards?
Dave A
August 25, 9:48am
I agree with the other "older" guys. I am 56, in great shape, and can do most of the things on the list. Actually, I can blow away some of them. But others are not a good standard for for us baby boomers.
I have subscribed to MH for years but, as I age, the magazine seems to skew younger and younger and is becoming less relevant to me.
Maybe you should consider that you have a large amount of older readers and gear an occasional article toward us or go ahead make it clear that we are not your audience.Jack

Gentlemen over 50. Here's the latest scoring sheets for the Air Force PT test. This may not be comparable to what the Army and Marines go thru when they test but, it gives you an idea what 50+ men have to do in the Air Force to score 100. Run Time under 10:37 for 1 1/2 miles-60 points. Waist under 35"-20 points. Push-ups 44 under a minute-10 points. Sit-ups/Crunches 46 under a minute-10 points.
August 29, 2:41pm
To all the "older" readers, the guys over 50 for the most part.
Men's Health already provides you with a great magazine directly targeted to your age group called "Best Life" (actual title: "Best Life by the editors of Men's Health").
I picked up an issue out of curiosity a few years back and it's a great mag but as a 23 year old it didn't apply to me so I gave it to my dad to check out.
September 1, 4:31pm
Why is there no pull up routine? I am surprised as nearly everywhere on Men's health they repeatedly tell you how important the pull-up/chin-up is..
Whats going on there..
In regards to the over 50 crowd, there are a minority that can do everything listed at your age, the rest of you should aim to get there eventually, don't give up just because it seems difficult.Raz

You really want ot know how fit you are? Start up CrossFit and you will for sure find out how fit you aren't. After six months into it you will scoff at this so called fitness test.
October 18, 9:43am
I'm very new at this Men's Health exchange of comments and Ideas. Heck, I've not really read much from MH. Don't have a support system and I'm about 100 lbs from where my goal is. lost 30 lbs almost ten years ago, but I'd gotten sick now I'm ready to get back into it but NO motivation. Any ideas?
December 1, 9:52am
Hmmm, bench 375 and leg press (straight or machine?) 565.
Fun to throw numbers around but what has that have to do with health, no injuries, and daily functional capability?
So, we can now safely demand all your staffers who cannot meet these standards when HQ conducts a surprise inspection next week be fired?
Lead by example.Jim

A great place to start when defining "Fitness" is the CrossFit Journal's article "What is Fitness?" It includes Crossfit's First ten recognized general physical skills. They are cardiovascular/respiratory endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, coordination, agility, balance, and accuracy. You are as fit as you are competent in each of these ten skills. A regimen develops fitness to the extent that it improves each of these ten skills. It can be downloaded for free on the CrossFit Journal website.

As a trick for motivation, I use a dry-erase marker to write my goals on the bathroom mirror or put them on sticky-notes in the places I look the most (above my bed, above the computer screen, rear view mirror in my car, etc.). This helps me a lot, so that my goals are never far from my mind. And the gym is a great way to meet people that will hold you accountable if you don't show up for a workout. good luck!dave
December 1, 11:56am
I agree with the people who are older. You have Men's Health, Woman's Health and Children's health. How about a magazine dedicated to those men and women over the age of 55 or something. I am 56 years old, about 100-150 lbs over weight, and out of shape. If I attempted to test my fitness using these standards.....not only would I flunk, greatly....I would drop DEAD! You put out great material but how about gearing some of it for older folks!

Guys, needless to say I'm not young (43) yet I can do all but the leg press. I'm only 5'10 180 lbs and work out everyday. I do cross training, Swim, bilke, lift and run. While these might seem impossible to obtain, they are obtainable. I do see that most of these drills are set up for someone with fast twitch muscles which really ties into the type of training one does. Which as we get older our training tagets more of the slower endurance type of training. Going out and running 6x400 is not a typical run for most people. Most people will run distance because the need to run sprints once we hit a certian age is really not needed. By changing how you train you could possible come closing to these targets. Don't get me wrong I'm not hanging on the rim like I did when I was 22 but I can still touch it, in big part to how I train.
February 1, 10:27am
Hi there Luke The Shoulder Guy here. For those aged 50 plus here is my two bobs worth ... Be careful what standards you apply to yourself, seek a medical clearance before commencing exercise, do a proper warm up, realise that your bodies biochemistry is changing for want or a better word ageing, tendon tissue especially around the shoulder is less compliant to stretching and loading, always exercise in the safe zone, think functionally and use whole body movements, lower limb and core strength is vital in falls prevention. For more info check out The Shoulder Guy on Twitter.

Personally I think the standards are silly. For one thing this doesn't take into account a persons age, past physical status or height, weight etc. For instance maybe someone is 6'6" while someone else is 5'5" yet the rim is the same height. Age is certainly a huge factor when your doing anything that uses your knees like jumping or even running fast. If all we want is a feel good contest for most athletic young men then maybe this could apply, but certainly like a sell all well sold physical training plan the standards I'm reading are worth nothing.
PS I can possibly do most of this stuff, but at what price and what benefitkells1001
March 17, 12:22am
I really like this list, even tho i can't do most... 5'11 158 and can only bench 160, and sure as hell can't leg press that much. But all the endurance ones I can do haha, i think maybe this shows i need to pack on a few pounds of muscle maybe?
March 20, 10:41am
As some others have mentioned you think your fit till you try Crossfit. I don't care how old you are, how much you can bench, or how well you can run. I am in my mid 30's and after 3 months I was smoking high school athletes, 20 year olds but at the same time getting smoked by a guy that was 60. Hell the head Crossfit coach was 50.
April 9, 10:38am
Conferring "fitness" on an individual has no relation with these "tests." I can't perform half of them to your specifications. I'm 67, muscular (12% body fat), and would say my overall functionality is on a par or better than an average 35-year-old. Iagree with your opening statement, however: "We have a lot of time on our hands."
July 5, 10:34am
Allow me to throw my lot in with the Crossfit fanatics. You'll never know what a pansy you are until you tackle some of the insane routines the Crossfit crowd comes up with. I did standard lifting for years, with some running and swimming thrown in for cardio, and I never knew what pain was until I jumped on kettlebells, suspension training and Crossfit routines. There's no way that traditional isolation lifting, running and the like can even approach the stresses put on your musculature and cardio-respiratory system by the whole body, ballistic approach of Crossfit. Come on down, Men's Health Staff; You're guaranteed to lose your lunch =P

Hi all you fucking old cunts, here's a tip, get the fuck out of the way of us younger better looking, better hung, well muscled cunts and go and die somewhere, no one gives a fuck about your fitness just about how you have old man stink and are fucking slow, so go and have sex with the wrinkled old pigs you hang out with and stop bothering young hot people. Cunts
July 6, 7:07am
Youngish guy here (28)- Maybe I'm just belly-aching because I'm a weak little dude, but I thought the anaerobic and fast-twitch muscle standards were way freaking higher than the endurance standards. This list is for muscle bound jocks trying to round themselves out. It's way harder for us scrawny nerd runners trying to add some poundage. 1.5 miles in 10 minutes? Averaging less than 7 mph? Are you freaking joking? I could do that in my sleep. I could freaking WALK that in my sleep (ok, not really.) On the other hand, I used to be proud that I could bench 1.13 times my weight (a recent achievement). Now I find 1.5 is the standard. Ah well, guess it's time to quit whining and push harder.

Mike mustlikethecok must be an Obama fan because his use of the language shows he is uneducated an uses his big talk to intimidate people to make up for his insecurities. Too bad mikey, you need a hug or a butt plug!
August 4, 12:05am
to Mikemustlikethecok: You must be smokin some guys crack. Your language gives away the fact that your mother deprived you of your first "Happy Meal" (her breast}. I'm sorry for that. However, unless you are totally a woman hater then you shouldn't use the "C" word. It ain't a word anymore. I get icky vibes from you and I think you are hopeless and should be eliminated. Good Bye!

As a 7 day a week "Warrior" I thought about this question; a long time ago I believe if a man is building his core from the inside out then he has earned the title "Buffed One". In closing if you are in the gym at least 5 days a week for an hour and a half a day you're good!

This is bad advice. I power walk 2 Mile 4/WK, stationary power bike for 30 mi. 4/WK, golf 2-18 holes/WK and 2 hrs plus of tennis 3/WK. Pritikin diet with very little red meat, fish diet, no sugar, fruits power mixed esp. cranberries, Smoke Good herb 3/WK, one or two good whiskey per week. Do no harm first principle of good health. Dangerous advice here. Not good. I look and feel great. This is a young mans routine and be careful older guys. I am 63 years old look and feel great

This is ridiculous. I walk 3-5 miles a day and if I tried half of these things I'd get injured. Just by walking & diet I'm able to keep my "good cholesterol" up, blood sugar down, blood pressure OK, etc. Push-ups? Please! And with really long legs, I could never touch my toes, even when I was 17 and running 8 miles a day. Get real!
October 26, 12:51pm
Do people still actually pay money for these vapid magazines?
October 26, 2:31pm
I don't agree with the list. There are plenty of older guys who are fit but cannot bench their weight times 1.5. I weigh 200 lbs. and I am supposed to bench 300 lbs? I could 35 years ago when I was 20 but not now. How about those Tai Chi masters? They are fit and live long, healthy lives.
Also, how do you both increase muscle mass (to gain strength) while decreasing body fat? You must feed the body to increase mass (increase calories) and yet cut calories to reduce body fat. So, how do you accomplish these two competing tasks at the same time?KC

This is a bunch of crap

October 27, 12:11am
This is obviously written by a magazine trying to sell advertisements to the muscle building or wanna-be NFL crowd.
The list has no factor of body type, age or foundational fitness factors (ie: body fat, cholesterol, etc).
Just looking at myself, at my peak fitness in college, I could hardly bench press more than my weight, but I could throw a football 60+ yards. I could (and probably still can) leg press a mountain, but took months and months to get to the point I could dunk on a 10' rim, but one ankle injury wiped that out a month later.
Here's what I've seen touted as real fitness studying it over the past 10+ years, in no particular order:
1. Strong digestion: 2-3 solid BM's daily (ideal color, size, density)
2. Flexibility: Back, hamstrings, hip flexors all loose.
A. Toe touch: This relates to the hamstrings most and lower back. (This was the only one to make the list)
B. Back bridge: This relates to the upper spine most and hip flexors. I do it with my arms instead of on my heads since I have a weak spot in my cervical vertebrae from a college injury.
3. Fast twitch muscle strength: Evident by being able to do a shuttle run without breaking something. Another good test is the ability to do 6-60 yard sprints (50%-80% peak output) in under 7 minutes. This one taxes me a lot.
*Increasing strength here increases HGH levels.
4. Body Fat: Getting down to <10% for guys is ideal. Most MD's would say <15%.
5. Liver/Gall Bladder health: Eliminating gall stones regularly (quarterly). This lowers cholesterol, reduces fat in the liver, and cleanses the lymph, too.
Nowhere is a specific strength figure listed because it just doesn't matter.Joshua Long
October 28, 2:57pm
These numbers are ridiculous. The article tells you do 1.5X on a MACHINE or 2.25 leg press on a MACHINE! You need to use a free weight to which requires more stabilization muscles to be active. 1.5 X Bench and 2.0 Squat of a free weight is a Elite athlete according to CrossFit. These numbers encourage people getting hurt. Checkout a better evaluation of your level of fitness at the www.crossfitseattle.com/athletic_skill.html

I have to agree with many of the comments that indicate yuo need to do this by age catagory. I do not see a 20 year old having the same standards as a 60 year old.
As for the ones that have claimed they excel at all, or most the items - prove it!!rmg

Mens Health..fail. Nothing specific for those who want more detail to fit their age group is one thing.

MH has usually been right on target with good, reliable and useful info. But this "fitness" test article is a joke. By these standards most members of the elite military special ops units wouldn't be considered fit. Even most Marines couldn't pass this test!
December 1, 2:31pm
Enjoy your youth. I started working out at age 24 I am now 81 with a wife that has ALZ I am the care provider. Any day that I can lift some weights is a blessing as it lifts my spirits. At 50 I was still ridding my bicycle 15 mi each day and still getting in my weight lifting. Now, my WOs are it. Have a happy healthy life
December 1, 5:25pm
On the measure up section it says not eat past 5 pm because as the day goes on your body will absorbs more fat, and I have always heard that from many people so I know that is true. But what if your the type of person that sleeps all day and is up all night. My thoughts would be thats like a get up at either 7 or 9 am kinda deal and 5pm would be the time to stop eating carbs.

December 1, 9:09pm
It seems that the validity of any fitness test involving a bench press or leg press one-rep maximum has been outdated for at least a decade. Iyou are looking for real-world fitness (athleticism, stability, and dynamic resistance) it seems that an alternating dumbbell press on a stability ball or a single leg squat would be a more accurate measure. But hey, if you want to be the guy who is only "fit" when he is moving a stable weight in a straight line with both appendages and no joint or core stabilization required, then these tests are for you.
December 1, 9:39pm
I can do 30 pushups at age 47. I'd have considered that okay before, but now I have something to shoot for. Thanks for the list.
At 18, 6'2", I could touch above the white square on the backboard with one step. I sure hope I can still get the rim.Mark
December 2, 6:21am
I highly doubt there is ANY individual that can attain ALL these fitness standards. Although not lofty standards and quite doable (separately), I believe you will ultimately be training your muscles in very different venues and ultimately defeat yourself.... flexibility vs plyometrics vs endurance vs fast-twitch/CNS strength... etc. This goes against any specified training advice ever published. I find it hard to believe it was written by a NSCA certified strength trainer with a Master's Degree? This must have been written by a magazine intern.

Does it occur to MH magazine that the definition should be medically based?
All these physical capabilities aside, your fitness should be measured by how quickly your system, (i.e. heart), recovers from your physical activities. Healthy fit people don't die of heart problems. I was in the army for 27 years and witnessed 5 soldiers, (considered very fit by army standards), drop dead of heart-related problems. Lifting weights, running very fast are impressive abilities, but it's how fast your heart recovers from these demanding activites that determine your health. Isn't that the purpose of exercising, to make the heart healthy?Don1lv06
July 19, 10:58am
Interesting, but you guys are way too strength focused - where's the endurance? Run 1.5 miles? Yeah fast but you don't need much endurance for that.
July 19, 12:03pm
What's really the point or importance of staying in shape? Why should I care? Will it really make me live longer/prevent diseases/illnesses? There's no definitive correlation.
July 19, 2:00pm
touch the rim? At a towering 5'7" I think I could touch the rim 40 yrs ago, when I was 20. I don't know how many steps-a bunch. I think I can touch the net now. Guess I won;t be in the NBA.
July 19, 9:10pm
Grant, Let's not knock the President with a guy like Mike, not even close.
As far as the test, I think the vertical leap should be a certain number not just a fixed height as peoples height/reach play a factor. Why not 40 yd sprints x 10 all under 5.5 with 20 seconds rest? Or will we have to box a kangaroo next...
Numbers don't make a person fitter, so quit measuring your d*cks, just be happy it gets hard...20

I don't want to beat a dead horse, but the only way to achieve excellent overall fitness is through a cross-fit/kettle bell workout combined with a paleo or primal diet. I am 41 years old and have been doing this type of program for 3 or 4 months now and am in no joke in the best shape of my life. Look into Cross-fit or Kettle bells and cut all the unnecessary junk food (and that includes more than you think) and you will amaze yourself with your own capabilities!

Overall I like the list. I have problems with bench pressing and leg presses being on the list.
More push ups or 1 armed or some kind of variant that indicates a whole body connection would be more accurate. Same with leg press. Knock out more deep squat or some version of 1 legged squat.Steve

This is mainly to the young punk Mike! I'll be 43 in a week & this old guy would mop the floor with you! Alot of you made some good points, I can do all those things but that test means nothing! You have to limit your acivity & increase your calories & lift heavy to build muscle mass! You can do any one of those things but not all at the same time! When you try to lean up you lower calories & increase activity! You'll have less energy therefore you won't be able to lift as much! Hey punk kid I'm 6'4" 225 at 10% bf!! Can you squat 500 dadlift 500 & bench 340 on the incline?I didn't think so! You get the h@ll out of the way!!

I'm a 21 year old college student, studying Fitness and Nutrition and from what I can tell a lot of the stuff on this list seems to deal more with PERFORMANCE rather than FITNESS. Believe it or not, there is a difference. Performance training is used to gauge athletes and help them get bigger, stronger,faster and better. Fitness training deals with practical movements that allow you to go function in day-to-day activity. I'm not saying that MH doesn't know what they're talking about, by no means. Just stating that from what I can tell, this seems to be geared more towards younger generations wanting to increase their performance levels. It doesn't seem to be practical for the older generation that I've seen commenting. Honestly, if you're looking to increase fitness levels you should probably talk to your local gym or, as I've also seen posted, try Crossfit. Crossfit can be modified to fit ANY fitness level and the truth is...it works. It's not just for the ELITE athletes or fitness fanatics. It's for anyone. The community that is built in the Crossfit gyms help increase the psychological, emotional and intellectual aspects of health as well. Sorry for the long post, but I just thought I would leave my opinion. Again, I'm still studying and I don't know everything but I'm pretty sure my professors would agree with most of what I said. Thanks for the list though!

Liquid vitamins have been taking the vitamin supplement spot light. Questionable facts and liquid <strong><a href="http://www.cheapconverseshoesuk.co.uk "> cheap converse shoes uk </a></strong> vitamin claims have plagued the minds of many. The vitamin absorption truth has finally arrived.
The most controversial liquid vitamin myth has to be vitamin absorption superiority. Pill form <strong><a href="http://www.cheapconverseshoesuk.co.uk "> cheap converse shoes </a></strong> vitamins offer up to 30% absorption rates while liquid vitamins boast a 90% absorption rate. It is time to prove or disprove this fact in a visual manner.

The experiment began with a theory. <strong><a href="http://www.cheapconverseshoesuk.co.uk "> converse shoes uk </a></strong> For a nutrient to be absorbed into the blood stream, it will have to be completely simplified before passing through the bodys membranes; the villi in the small intestine or the mucous membrane. With this in mind, a pill must be simplified before any nutrient absorption can take place. This will limit the pill form vitamin to basically one pathway of entry into the blood stream; the small intestine.

State and local authorities were involved in the investigation.
"Agents arrested Robert Swan (above), 51, of 39790 W. Sam Arnold Loop, following a joint investigation involving the Attorney General's High Technology Crime and Fugitive Apprehension Units, and the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office," the release said.
Cops raided the suspect's home.
Swan faces up to 60 years in prison if convicted on the child porn charges and life in prison if convicted of aggravated rape.
