"Warm, paintable, bathable, comfortable, and flowery." Churchill found what he wanted, a perfect place to convalesce. Green mountains and basalt cliffs; wild cyclamen, geraniums, nasturtiums.

Put a Trainer in Your Pocket

NEW YORK -- Even if you didn't make the cut for this year's Olympic Games in Greece, you can train like a world-class athlete with pocket-sized electronics that deliver a pumping music beat while keeping track of your rising pulse rate.

These gadgets, many of which pull double duty as a radio, music player or regular timepiece, can act as part-time coach and motivator shouting out numbers on the distance you have run or cycled, and indicating that your breaststroke needs work.

For decades, joggers have toted portable radios to avoid boredom. Now, between choruses of a digital recording of Paul McCartney's "Band on the Run," the MP3RUN, developed by Nike and Philips Electronics, can report the distance run and the pace through the wearer's headphones.

Go Ducks!

Kalia Amos
Yesterday I had the pleasure of going to an Oregon Ducks football game, an at home game, 59,330 spectators, a record breaking season opener. Talk about noise... we all cheered with a sight a relief whenever the Ducks scored or made a run. The Oregon Ducks were in good form most of the third quarter. Coming back from a dissappointing 24-0 in the fist half, the ducks fell apart in the 4th qtr losing possension 4 times at 1st and goal. Final score Indiana 30 Oregon 24.

Take Special Care

Today is the begining of the last four months of 2004. In the midst of the upcoming festivites, let's remember to take time to nurture ourselves. Getting caught up in the many activites the fall/winter season can bring can wear us down and make us vulnerable to colds, flus and other dis-eases. Take care! Excercise, drink plenty of water and rest well.
