(AP) Jack Nicklaus remains confident Tiger Woods will surpass his mark of 18 major titles despite facing a level of competition the Golden Bear says as good as any that's ever been in golf. Nicklaus was in Charleston for the opening of a pizza restaurant, in which he and son Gary are investors. Open and win the five titles necessary to move past Nicklaus With recent major champions like Rory McIlroy, Adam Scott and Phil Mickelson playing top level golf, the chances of one player dominating several majors in a short time as Woods did at times in achieving his 14 titles becomes less likely, Nicklaus said. Still, Nicklaus doesn't waste much time worrying about holding on to his achievement. "If you look at it realistically, Tigers' probably got another 10 years of top golf," Nicklaus said. "That's 40 majors. Can he win five of them? I think he probably will." Nicklaus went through several major droughts in his career. Open and his next title at the 1970 British Open. He went through a similar stretch after his win at the 1975 PGA Championship, not winning major No. 15 until the 1978 British Open. Of course, Nicklaus' longest major less run was a nearly six year period until his dramatic final title at the 1986 Masters when he was 46 years old. Nicklaus said one major difference between his run and Woods' chase is the national attention. 10 and the fourth of his six green jackets at the 1972 Masters and trailed then leader Bobby Jones by three. "I never worried about it," Nicklaus said. "I wasn't thinking about records at the time." Woods' goal was crystal clear from the time he began and has been a focus of media and fans. His drought is one of golf's most captivating stories and something he won't escape until he breaks through again, Nicklaus said. "Each time you don't win, obviously, makes it harder," Nicklaus said. These days, the 73 year old Nicklaus spends most of his recreation time on the tennis court instead of the golf course. He said tennis is everything that golf is not for the casual player quick, inexpensive and easy to learn. Nicklaus said golf is losing patrons because it takes too long to play, is difficult to pick up and can be costly. "We're losing people and need to find a way to stop that," he said. Besides, Nicklaus needs the free time to keep up with his 22 grandchildren, who seem to have an athletic event for him to attend nearly every day. His grandson, Nick O'Leary, is tight end for No. 8 Florida State tight and he caught three touchdowns in the Seminoles' season opening, 41 13, victory at Pittsburgh earlier this month. Nicklaus said he attends all the Florida State games and expects to be back in South Carolina next month then the Seminoles play at No. 3 Clemson on Oct. 19. Nicklaus said on his last visit to his college Ohio State, he spoke with Buckeyes football coach Urban Meyer and told him he'd already gotten tickets to the BCS title game in Pasadena, Calif., next January. When Meyer protested about jinxing Ohio State's title run, Nicklaus joked, "Urban, I bought the tickets for Florida State. I hope you get there,'" he said. "He got a big kick out of that."

In the aftermath, serious questions were raised regarding US preparedness. Here the problem with natural disasters: they are random events and no amount of planning is sufficient. The best conceivable responses manage the impact through effective situational command and coordination of personnel and resources leading up to, during, and especially after the disaster. Proper response and optimal decisioning demands real time access to the information, ideas, and approaches to deal with these highly unpredictable and fluid situations. In New Orleans, FEMA needed every conceivable idea and potential solution for temporary housing, better food distribution, people transport, and flooding containment. The opportunity costs of ideas not surfaced or considered early in these emergency situations could be substantial. The current pandemic threat should serve as a vivid reminder that we need conventional and unconventional thinking to respond to challenges ahead. The rapid evolution of communications, crowdsourcing, and social networking technologies has created an extraordinary opportunity to significantly advance the tools available to organizations that engage in the most serious of these disasters. FEMA, Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO), Red Cross and others needs to pay particular attention to the potential of these technologies to significantly improve the effectiveness of response efforts. A few days ago, InnoCentive posted a Challenge to quickly identify whether airport passenger screening can be enhanced to detect contagions, clearly a response to H1N1 Influenza pandemic concerns. Coupled with other Web 2.0 providers, FEMA and other organizations could have instantaneous access to hundreds of thousands of virtual responders, including scientists, engineers, healthcare professionals, and others all ready, willing, and able to lend much needed support. These systems could be wired for use by selected agencies and organizations in times of natural or manmade disaster, dramatically improving response effectiveness. This Emergency Response 2.0 Toolkit should be developed and orchestrated BEFORE the next natural disaster. We call on FEMA and other agencies to survey the landscape of communication, crowdsourcing, and social networking tools available and to put in place the strategies, linkages, and training necessary to immediately leverage these capabilities in times of need. Let not wait until next Hurricane Katrina, Tsunami, Earthquake, or Global Pandemic to recognize the ability of people everywhere to have an extraordinarily positive impact in these Emergency Response situations. I think one of the things standing in the way of overcoming a medical disaster is the drug prescription requirement system. While I can understand the need to monitor drugs, the need to prevent people from making assumptions about when to use them, and the need to stop people from abusing them, treatments are most effective at the onset of disease ( this is true for pretty much all diseases from the common cold to the more serious like cancer.) Pharmacists know drugs as well as any doctor does and can at times make better decisions for us since they know all the drugs we are on (provided the drugs are bought at the same pharmacy which they usually are), while we may at times forget to tell our doctors our pharmacists will have all our meds on record. Most people don go to ER at the onset of respiratory ailments and if the onset is at night which tends to be when the respiratory sytem is weakest that puts a delay on treatment time. I think pharmacisits should be able to give non addictive prescription meds (quantity should be one or two doses on weeknight and 1 8 depending on the time and day of weekend onset) at night when medical centers are closed. Unfortunately, I don believe pharmacists will ever be given that power. My personal solution to this has been to ask my doctors and childrens doctors for one or two days of extra meds to keep in the fridge for emergency purposes. As soon as my children get sick, I give them their prescribed antimucolitics, decongestants and when necessary bronchiodilators and I then take them to the hospital in the morning when the doctor gives them additional meds and antibiotics when needed. with two exceptions over the past 11 years our respiratory illnesses have never lasted more than 4 days. Before I started doing this we use to get sick for two weeks. In reference to the comment about the Bush administration with expertise in the field consider that at the time we hadn had a similar hurricane since Galvaston at the turn of the century. OK, we probably didn have many centogenarians still working in the emergency response teams. But, I think that OK and a reality that we need to work with. Unfortunately, the nature of unexpected disasters is that we don have experience with them (otherwise, they be treated as routine). I think that the real problem in preparing for crisis is that we need to balance the thought of would probably never happen against spending too much effort on the unlikely critical events. The real problem with Katrina was more with the disbelief of the eminent problem. We were slow to pull the trigger on the emergency response deployment with good reason. If we had and nothing came of it, there would have been a major backlash of the people criticizing the government for spending too much money and getting people worked up needlessly. (Sound familiar to our criticisms of how the H1N1 is being handled???) Unfortunately, the problem is more in our nature to criticize leaders which may be what we really need to work on. Regarding a positive thing that I think we should all do is to be prepared to have a general plan for carrying on in case of disaster. Businesses as well as homes should have continuity plans for how they can continue to function in case regular operations are disrupted. For example, how could a company keep business operations running if their employees have limited access to facilities. stay with friends or family) if you had a fire, flood or other natural disaster. Oh, and anyone living within 10miles of a power plant should have a plan thought thru, know how to deploy, then rest easy knowing that they know what to do if the situation ever arises. I also want to commend the folks who responded to the blog earlier with some great ideas already. The problem isn whether crises and disasters will happen. They will in some form or another. We just don know what will happen when. The challenge is to be prepared so you know what to do. The bonus is that sometimes major shake ups can create an opportunity to change what could be working better, but there previously was not impetus for making change. (example; would we even be thinking about this now if it weren for the recent H1N1?) Everyone reading this blog is the cream of the crop in intellegence. Let lead with some creative thinking. I think this group can come up with some great thoughts to help out each other and to help the greater communities. Rather than complaining about what hasn worked in the past, reflect upon what has worked and what might be able to work better. After all, isn that the spirit of the Innocentive program? I believe a solution to emergency housing during flood, fire, or homelessness, is very simple. Start with any size pop up tent, made of fireproof material, with a flotation device sewn into the floor. Zipper pockets inside the tent will already carry, dried nuts or granola mix, and a small water filtering pump could be attached to a hose inside the tent. No cups needed, just suck on the hose, in case of flooding or sea water. A Filter would already be in place inside the lining of the tent. The tent material must not only be fire proof, but have a warming blanket, such as used in an ambulance, (those silver things). A string with a hook on the end could be used for fishing, ( have to eat it raw) and of coarse the whole thing would have to be waterproof. A slight awning at the top could be used to collect dew, as well, and drain it into an inside water pouch. As for the toilet, a supply of small waste basket bags, would suffice, as on can tie these to off keeping sanitary. Every time we try to prevent one occurrence we just seem to cause another, though. Think about it would Hurricane Katrina have killed so many people if we were not using a man made structure to prevent nature from taking its course. There are levees and damns all over the world. 71.11% of the world is made up of water. When we stop the water from flowing there must be displacement somewhere. We need to worry about pandemics? There is disease all around us. Any day you can be walking around and by touching the wrong thing, you could get a terminal disease. Keep yourself clean and hope for the best, that is all you can do panic just causes more negative affect. Another natural disaster we would have to think about is the Super Volcano, never know when that is going to erupt. Everyone in the mid west dies. The people in New York all suffocate from sulfur inhalation. Should we put gas masks on every street corner in the entire Northeast. Who knows maybe alien life will come to this planet!!? They could bring disease and have advanced weaponry? Just like we did to the Indians. Are we prepared for that? The dollar is down and prices are rising. Unless the stock market goes back up we could go into a second Great Depression. Are we prepared to stop history from repeating itself? Have we learned enough from our past to prevent a Hitler Motif? The real reason for the failure to mitigate Katrina effect earlier and more effectively is quite simple. Inaction and apathy. First, for whatever reason good or bad people did not respond to the call for evacualtion as they should have. Second, the elected leaders did not act in advance to prevent disaster by removing people from harm way. Third, the response by elected officials was too little, too slow. The primary problem of running a nation of independant individuals with rights of self determination is they may well determine to do the wrong thing. Either disbelief or inability to act leads to failure to protect one self. The elected officials will only act in ways which are least likely to bring harm, blame or recrimination upon themselves. The solution is to appoint individuals unafraid to act to assume emergency command in disasters. These people must not be in a position where they must protect their own career and interests above responding correctly and quickly. If they do err (and who will not?) they must not be punished if the net result is is highly positive. Personally, I agree with Thomas in regards to inaction and apathy. I think we all should be accountable for our own responsiveness and preparedness. Now that doesn mean the government has a free pass to ignore their emergency preparedness and response duties. Disasters and emergencies are going to always happen, but the challenge is being prudent in seeing the challenges ahead and planning/executing accordingly to offset the risk in suffering deadly, uncalled for consequences. Men Nike Free Run 3 Deep Royal Blue Silver Volt Quilted,The 7 foot 1 center gave Philadelphia the lead for good with the biggest shot of the game ending run: a long jumper just inside the three point line on the left side with 2:11 remaining. "We had some tremendous performances tonight," said Sixers coach Doug Collins. "I'm really proud of Spencer." Bulls center Joakim Noah rolled his left ankle badly in the third quarter when he stepped on the foot of Sixers forward Andre Iguodala while driving in the lane on a break. Noah remained in to shoot free throws and stayed on the court for another minute or so before going to the locker room for the first time. He came back in the fourth, but left again for good. The Bulls, of course, already lost star guard Derrick Rose for the rest of the season to a torn knee ligament he suffered in Game 1. Carlos Boozer had 18 points and 10 rebounds to lead Chicago, Richard Hamilton added 17 points and Noah and John Lucas both scored 12. But Luol Deng had just five points and the Bulls have now lost two in a row to the Eastern Conference's No. 8 seed The Sixers, after being outscored 21 11 in the third quarter, ripped off a 28 14 fourth. The big quarter echoed Game 2, when they shot better than 68 percent in the third to take control with a 36 14 frame. The Bulls shot only 24 percent in the fourth. Philly's run came on the heels of a 69 56 Chicago lead. Hawes scored 10 points during it, including his shot from the left side for a 72 71 lead the Sixers' first since halftime. Philly's final seven points came at the free throw line, where they were 12 of 13 in the quarter. Lucas knocked down a three pointer to get the Bulls within 75 74 with just 44 seconds left, but Turner collected his own rebound on a missed layup at the other end and made two foul shots. Chicago didn't score again. "It was a tough loss, but I think this group in here remains confident," said Deng. "We're playing short handed, but we have a team that's going to fight and scrap for everything. We have to clean up a few things before Game 4 on Sunday." Hawes, who had just seven combined points in the first two games, scored five in the opening quarter on a three pointer at the shot clock buzzer and a long jumper from the left side. Williams scored six in the quarter for the Sixers, but they lost the lead when Lucas hit a fall away jumper as time expired to make it 20 19 Chicago. Boozer had 10 points in the quarter for the Bulls. There were 15 lead changes in the first half. The Bulls were up seven after a Lucas three pointer midway through, but went without a field goal until the final seconds. The Sixers used a 10 2 run during Chicago's cold spell to take a 36 35 lead and went up by as many as three. Boozer scored the last of his 12 first half points on a jumper to end an 0 for 6 Bulls spell from the floor and get them within 40 39 at the break. GAME NOTES The Sixers shot just 34.2 percent after making nearly 60 percent of their tries in Game 2. The Bulls shot 37.3 percent and out rebounded the Sixers 49 43 . Deng had nine rebounds and Hamilton had seven assists . Hawes and Turner had nine rebounds apiece and Holiday collected six assists.
Cheap Size 6 Men Nike Free Run 3 Deep Royal Blue Silver Volt Quilted,Men Nike Free Run 2 Turquoise Gold Black White How can I speed the healing process?Developing the following healthy habits can speed the healing process now and help you avoid hemorrhoids in the future: First and most important, avoid constipation: Eat a high fiber diet (plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and beans), drink plenty of water (eight to ten glasses a day), and get regular exercise, even if you only have time for a short, brisk walk. Waiting can make the stool drier and harder to pass. Kegels increase circulation in the rectal area and strengthen the muscles around the anus, decreasing the chance of hemorrhoids. (Any rectal bleeding should be checked by your practitioner.) In most cases, hemorrhoids that developed during pregnancy will get better on their own, especially if you're careful to avoid constipation. In some cases, you may need to see a specialist for treatment to help shrink your hemorrhoids. Rarely, minor surgery is required to correct the problem. 1 2 3 This Internet site provides information of a general nature and is designed for educational purposes only.

Men Nike Free Run 3 Deep Royal Blue Silver Volt Quilted SALT LAKE CITY Wool instead of synthetic fleece, carbon skis and a spoon shaped sleeping bag are among the hottest products at the world's largest expo for outdoor equipment and apparel, where vendors are vying for a share of the $289 billion Americans spend every year on outdoor gear, travel and services. The Outdoor Retailer Winter Market show that runs through Saturday is a merchandise bazaar for a lifestyle of outdoor adventure. Bringing together 1,000 of the world's manufacturers and distributors, it is a showcase for the latest gear and fashions before they hit the mainstream. One hardware company, Salt Lake City based Black Diamond, put models on stage late Thursday for its inaugural 24 piece line of jackets and stretch woven pants. It plans to jump into wool a year from now. Wool was rubbed out by fleece decades ago, but many exhibitors said it's back without the itch, still warm and quick to dry and it doesn't hold body odours, a big drawback of fleece. LOOK: Workout Clothes That Are Almost Too Cute To Sweat In "Natural fibers is where it's at," said Matt Skousen, of Everest Designs. "It's the real deal. Wool has had millions of years to figure itself out." Skousen founded Everest Designs with his Nepalese wife, Choti Sherpa. They hire workers in Nepal to stitch beanies from New Zealand wool, run the company out of Missoula, Mont., and were hoping for a sales boost at a trade show also crowded with Merino wool sweaters, undergarments and socks. Shoppers aren't allowed inside the expo and no cash sales are conducted. Instead, the four day show brings together retailers making orders for next year's inventory. Suppliers range from industry giants like Patagonia and Mountain Hardwear to perhaps the smallest player, a former Army Ranger hawking "Combat FlipFlops" from his duffel bag. Matthew Griffin, who calls himself a micro manufacturer, didn't have a booth of his own. New products range from sunglasses with magnetic pop out lenses to a thermo electric camp stove that does double duty boiling water and charging electronic devices. Another company showed off a line of sleeping bags with a roomy hourglass shape for camper comfort. "Nobody sleeps like a mummy," said Kate Ketschek of New Hampshire based NEMO Equipment Inc., which is receiving industry attention for its extra wide Spoon Series of sleeping bags, an alternative to mummy and rectangular bags. She called it a "completely new category" of sleeping bags, made for side sleepers. The jam packed expo underscores a thriving corner of the economy. Outdoor gear sales grew 5 per cent annually throughout recent years of recession, analysts said. The show favours Utah, a place of rugged mountains and canyons and a cottage industry for innovators like DPS, a maker of expensive carbon fiber skis that recently shifted production from China to safeguard and refine its technology. Drake was an English major from New York in 2005 when he launched DPS with $100,000, a trip to China and a design for a featherweight carbon ski. "Man, we were in over our head," said Drake, 36, who teamed up with an engineer. "It's almost ridiculous what we tried to do with so little money, building carbon skis with new technology." DPS now handcrafts several thousand pairs a year for retail prices up to $1,300 from a factory in Ogden. That's too much for a ski, said Mark Wariakois, founder of Voile, which sells a hybrid carbon model for $600 adopted by backcountry professionals in the Rocky Mountains. Voile laminates 3,000 skis and snowboards a year at a factory in a Salt Lake City suburb. "Everybody is trying to figure out how we make these big skis" for that price, said Wariakois. "We make all of our own tools. That's probably the biggest secret to our success." Attendance is up 40 per cent since 2006, with more than 20,000 flocking to Winter Market, said Nielsen Expo Outdoor Group, the organizer. A twin show in August brings out a larger crowd and is dominated by equipment for water sports. Nielsen announced Tuesday it was keeping the shows in Salt Lake City through August 2016. The decision suspended a political standoff that had the Outdoor Industry Association threatening to leave over Gov. Gary Herbert's policies. Herbert, a Republican, unveiled a 59 page "vision" for outdoor recreation in the state, which calls for the creation of a state office devoted to the $5.8 billion economic sector.
