LA CANADA FLINTRIDGE - The only thing missing from the Monrovia High School football team's resume the past two years was a signature victory over an upper-division team.
Not anymore.
Deshawn Potts scored two touchdowns and David Gallegos recovered a St. Francis fumble on the Wildcats 1 with just over a minute to play and Monrovia got its milestone win with a 17-13 victory over St. Francis on Friday in a nonleague game at Friedman Field.
Monrovia, which also got 176 yards rushing from Ge Vontray Ainsworth, improved to 3-2.

St. Francis, which got 177 yards passing from Jared Lebowitz and 71 yards rushing and a touchdown from Daniel Kawamura, slipped to 3-2.
"We expect (to win)," said Monrovia coach Ryan Maddox, whose Wildcats have won the past two CIF-Southern Section Mid-Valley Division titles. "That's what we expect, that's what we're about. We want to play the best. I'm just real proud of the kids and the way they played tonight."
But St. Francis, which led 13-10 at halftime, nearly stole it away.
Lebowitz had completions of 19, 21 and 14 yards to drive the Golden Knights from their 35 to the Wildcats1. The final toss to John Carroll came on fourth-and-3 from the 15.
But on the next play, Lebowitz fumbled the
snap, and Gallegos fell on it to preserve the victory."We showed what our defense is made out of," Gallegos said. "We just tried to stop them. We knew they were going to run up the middle, we just covered our end.
"I saw the ball there, and I just took it. I was so hyped."
Monrovia, which held St. Francis to 232 yards, took a 17-13 lead when Kawamura fumbled and Potts returned it for a score with 9:01 left in the third quarter.
The first half was all about big plays, and St. Francis one-upped Monrovia for a 13-10 advantage.
St. Francis, which nearly rallied from a two-touchdown deficit before losing to La Mirada two weeks ago, made it 10-6 on 26-yard field goal by Mark Verso before using a 48-yard drive to take the lead.
Kawamura grabbed a 26-yard pass from Lebowitz to the Monrovia 21 before scoring from the 3 for a 13-10 advantage with 3:22 left in the half.

HP takes Open webOS 1.0 live, shows it supersized on a TouchSmart (video)
WebOS loyalists have been waiting a long, long time for HP's September launch of Open webOS, but the company has made good on its promise with not a moment to spare. Open webOS 1.0 is now available with core browser and e-mail apps, the Enyo 2.0 framework and enough hooks to allow porting to a platform of choice. To prove this last point, HP has gone so far as to port the software to a TouchSmart all-in-one -- a device just a tad larger than a Veer 4G. Lest anyone be hasty and get visions of developing a custom build for the TouchPad, though, they'd do well to remember both HP's disclaimer ruling out legacy support as well as word of the holes that exist in the current Open webOS release. The company needs time to offer open-sourced media support, a Bluetooth stack, advanced network management, faster rendering and newer versions of both Qt and WebKit. The curious can nonetheless try the OS in an emulator today, and intrepid developers can start building their own projects with the code and tools found at the source link.

Mr. Ryder's big birthday
By LUIS MEYRELES / Towns Correspondent
Betty Ann Sutton raised two sons by herself in South San Francisco, supporting the family as an antique dealer. She also made art with pastels, held gallery shows and taught art students.
After 20 years of that, she wanted a change, ?something less exhausting,? and went to work at a hat store.
?I sold my teacher car and bought a Mercedes,? said Sutton, 69. ?Then the hat store failed.?
When business faltered, Betty Anne decided to try selling the hats at the Marin Flea Market. ?I looked around and said, ?Just look at all this stuff!? I sold my Mercedes and bought a 1972 Toyota station wagon.?
Sutton parked that station wagon at the Colma dump near her home and started collecting antiques others had thrown out. Then she went to antique shows and rummage sales to sell her finds.
?I drove everywhere. Go to one, pack up, and go to the next,? she said. ?Every day was a different show or sale.?
Sutton moved to Camp Meeker with the desire to do something for animals and her art. Forgotten Felines was holding a benefit. Sutton ran a rummage sale for the organization and raised $90. She was immediately hired as fundraiser ?with no prior experience.?
She put the word out: ?If you like animals and you have stuff you want to get rid of, call me. I sold my station wagon and bought a 1986 Ford Aerostar van. I still have it.?
Through her efforts in dealing antiques she became associated with the Antique Society, renting a space in the Gravenstein Highway emporium.
?Before long I knew all these people,? explained Sutton. ?When I first came to town I didn?t know anyone. Volunteering, I met a lot of people. It made for a very full life.
- Betty Ann Sutton with Ryder?s successors, Scout (left) and Sarah Biscuit. (Jeff Kan Lee / Press Democrat)
?Around the same time I was thinking I could make more money if I leased a space, the Old Graton Post Office came on the market at $1 million. Six months later I saw it in the paper for much less. I called my Realtor and bought it that day.?
That was August 2002, and Mr. Ryder & Co. Antiques was up and running by October, with her items and spaces for other antique collectors. ?I just did everything they did at the Antique Society. No need to reinvent the wheel. All the people I came to know in the community pitched in.?
Open a decade in October, the store got its name from her late dog, who in turn was named after her father. ?Only his friends called him by his first name,? said Sutton, remembering her father. ?He was Mr. Ryder to everyone else, so we named (the dog) Mr. Ryder.?
Each September she runs the Pet Parade as part of Graton Day.
?For $10 you can dress up your dog and walk in the parade. For the past two years proceeds have gone to All Aboard, a local animal shelter.
?We are very into rescue dogs. Each of the dealers has a rescue animal ? Chester, Boomer, Gray, Norbert, Susie Q, Felix who just died, and Sarah Biscuit.?
There are 12 dealers at Mr. Ryder. ?Each dealer has their specialty, something they?re good with.?
She has gotten good reviews from antique dealers and collectors who have come through her store. One such customer said it was well edited, another that it was like a museum.
?There is no junk? said Sutton. Her customers, she adds, are ?locals, of course. Lots of people from San Francisco, interior designers and photographers.?
?I don?t know how people find us. The restaurants bring people. Martha Stewart found us, Lonely Planet, Sunset and Via.?
On Saturday, the 10-year anniversary, Mr. Ryder and Co. will have a birthday party ?in appreciation for the patronage and support I have received from the community,? said Sutton.
Mr. Ryder and Co. is at located at 9040 Graton Road in Graton, 824-8221, mrryderantiques.com.

92% Neil Young Journeys
All Critics (48) | Top Critics (20) | Fresh (44) | Rotten (4)
"Journeys" is simply a trip most need not take.
I'd say the movie does a fine job of completing the trilogy, but I wouldn't be surprised if Demme and Young have more in them yet.
Like Young, Demme often takes an iconoclastic route. This is in part a concert film, yes, but not a traditional one.
Forget Crosby, Stills and Nash and maybe even Crazy Horse. Jonathan Demme might be Neil Young's ultimate collaborator.
As a songwriter, Young can still deliver: one of the best tunes here is a lovely, piano-propelled number, "Leia," that he hasn't even released yet.
The wartsy antipode of Katy Perry: Part of Me, with an intimacy and intensity bordering on the overwhelming.
...just Young and his insinuating voice (which I'm inclined to credit more now than I was 40 years ago), various guitars, harmonica and piano, over which he displays a great and tender command.
Fans of folk rock legend Neil Young who are willing to accept that the guy is well past his prime will respond to the downbeat tone of Jonathan Demme's concert film.
The director is putting Young in the audience's lap, allowing the viewer to examine all the creases and crevices of his grizzled face as well as capturing the emotion the singer pours into his songs.
These two world-renowned and individualistic artists from the worlds of music and film clearly bask in each other's company. We, the audience, would be fools to respond otherwise.
Long may he run, sure, but 'Neil Young Journeys' has the feeling of a farewell.
"Journeys" is about looking back - not in sorrow or wistfulness, but in affection and, often, impassioned remembrance of times past and how they still resonate in the present.
A mesmerizing and intimate visit with a performer who is identified most closely with rock 'n' roll, but whose artistic curiosity has taken him in myriad directions musically throughout his 40-plus-year career.
Neil Young Journeys does for some of us what a rare film can do - it revives and renews our spirit. Neil Young and Jonathan Demme. Heart and soul. Wisdom and age. Fire and ashes. Lightning and thunder.
For fans, Journeys is like that box set of uneven rarities that they simply must own. For casual friends, it's 90 minutes in good company. For the rest - ho-hum.
An unusually fulsome tribute to the singer-songwriter from the director of The Silence of the Lambs.
On its own terms, "Neil Young Journeys" is an enjoyable concert film of a solo show in Toronto, interspersed with memories of his Canadian boyhood.
The concert camera work is sometimes a little tight for comfort (not really interested in Young's bridge work), though it adds to the intensity.
Movie fans probably don't need to hear him sing "Ohio" again, but "Neil Young Journeys" -- Jonathan Demme's second Young doc, if you're counting -- does have some new wrinkles.
In a sense, this film finishes a cycle that began with the homey and impressive "Neil Young: Heart of Gold" and continued with the raucous "Neil Young Trunk Show" of 2009.
"Look at Mother Nature on the run..."

Egypt tourism takes a hit from prophet protests
CAIRO (AP) ? One of the world's largest cruise ships, its foreign passengers primed for onshore spending, was supposed to dock in Egypt this month. The port call, however, was scrapped because of security concerns surrounding Mideast protests against a film made in the U.S. that denounces Islam's holiest figure.
Once again, Egyptian tourism, an engine of the national economy and a flagship of the regional industry, has taken a hit. It was another setback for a business that had plummeted in parts of the Middle East and North Africa last year during the uprisings known as the Arab Spring, then moved toward recovery this year.
"Small things become like mountains," Essam Zeid, an Egyptian tour guide, said of the fallout from unrest in Egypt since authoritarian President Hosni Mubarak was ousted in February 2011. But he also offered a (somewhat) positive metaphor: "We always say that Egypt gets sick but never dies. Recovery is always an option."
Egypt and other Arab nations undergoing turmoil rely heavily on the labor-intensive trade and see it as key to economic growth and social stability.
Tourism directly contributes a big chunk of gross domestic product to some of the countries that suffered economic fallout from last year's tumult, which came not long after the global financial crisis. Egypt, for example, generates 6.7 percent of GDP from travel and tourism and Tunisia is around the same level with 6.6 percent, with benefits to related businesses pushing the figures even higher, according to the London-based World Tourism and Travel Council. It is among industry groups that will assess the impact from the latest upheaval, though it is too early for a comprehensive estimate of losses.
In the multi-layered Middle East, a setback for tourism in one area can mean a windfall in another. During the Arab Spring, tourists, many of them Arabs, turned away from countries in crisis and traveled to more stable places like Qatar, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates, said Sana Toukan, Middle East research manager for Euromonitor International, a market research group. The UAE also drew more Chinese visitors, according to Toukan.
The latest downturn followed demonstrations in Egypt against an online film that was produced by a U.S. citizen originally from Egypt and denigrates the Prophet Muhammad. They were part of a wider explosion of anger in Muslim countries. The unrest hit near the U.S. Embassy, far from the pyramids of Giza on Cairo's outskirts, and even farther from gated Red Sea resorts, cocoons for the beach-bound vacationer.
Yet the online or TV images of flames, barricades and whooping demonstrators were a killjoy for anyone planning a getaway, even though the protests have subsided in many places. Tour guides in Egypt say tourist bookings are mostly holding, but they worry about a drop-off early next year as people tend to plan several months ahead.
Tharwat Agami, head of the chamber of tourist agencies in Luxor, home to the Valley of the Kings tombs in southern Egypt, reported up to one-quarter of tourist cancellations through October. His own company guided 17 American tourists last week, half of the group's expected number.
Royal Caribbean International took no chances. One of its vessels, Mariner of the Seas, can carry more than 3,000 passengers. It left Italy, on Sept. 15 ? with regional tension still boiling over the film ? and was to call at Alexandria on the northern Egypt Mediterranean coast three days later.
The company canceled the layover "in an abundance of caution," said Cynthia Martinez, director of global corporate communications at Miami-based Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.
"Royal Caribbean International continues to closely monitor the situation in Egypt," Martinez wrote in an email Tuesday to The Associated Press. "At this time, Royal Caribbean has not changed the itinerary of any upcoming sailing that includes a port call to Egypt."
Cruise ships also stayed away during the turmoil that led to Mubarak's downfall. Usually, passengers board buses for a day's outing to Cairo, where the pyramids, the medieval citadel, the mummies of the Egyptian Museum and other treasures await. It's a windfall for guides, ticket vendors and souvenir shops.
Egyptian tourism revenues fell 30 percent to $9 billion in 2011, but the industry proved as resilient as it is vulnerable. It survived the killing of 62 people, mostly foreign tourists, by Islamic militants in a 1997 attack at Luxor that seemed aimed at weakening the government by stopping the flow of tourism revenue. The Sept. 11, 2001 attacks by al-Qaida pummeled tourism, as did 2005 bombings in Egypt's Red Sea resort of Sharm-el-Sheikh.
Fueled partly by oil income, Mideast tourism is more diverse and reliant on regional customers. Expatriates and tourists splurge in the glitzy city-state of Dubai in the Persian Gulf; religious tourism is big at Islamic sites in Saudi Arabia; Oman and Jordan are angling for a piece of the medical tourism market. The popular uprisings did not affect Turkey but diverted tourist traffic to the country, now rated sixth in the world in international tourist arrivals.
Tourism prospects are a moot point in Syria, which is embroiled in a civil war, and in still-chaotic Libya, where militias roam. The U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other Americans were killed on Sept. 11 in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi in an attack on the American consulate there.
In Tunisia, violence and looting around the U.S. Embassy during a protest against the anti-Islam film did no favors for a tourism campaign that had been titled, "All Dreams are Possible."
"It's not one picture when you look at the Middle East," said Sandra Carvao, Madrid-based communications coordinator at the World Tourism Organization, a U.N. agency. "It's a region that has suffered and has proven to bounce back in the past."
Indeed, the agency had deemed the Middle East to be the fastest growing tourism market in the world over the past decade, despite the Iraq war, the 2006 conflict between Israel and Lebanon's Hezbollah and other violence. While some Gulf airlines have gone bankrupt, Carvao compared the expansion of Emirates and Etihad Airways to the rate of growth of Asia's aviation leaders.
Amid upheaval and political transition in 2011, according to the agency, international tourist arrivals in the Middle East dropped seven percent to 55.7 million, and in North Africa by nine percent to 17 million. So far this year, the numbers have climbed by nearly one percent and 10.5 percent, respectively.
Gladys Haddad, a tour guide in Cairo, said she was pleased that Egypt's new president, Mohammed Morsi, appealed to Italians to visit Egypt when he was in Rome at the height of tension over the anti-Islam film. She said early concerns that Egypt's Islamist-dominated government might scare off tourists by banning alcohol or mixed beaches have waned, at least for now.
"I don't think they're going to have like a magic stick to do things right away" to improve tourism, Zeid, the guide who is quick with a metaphor, said of Egypt's fledgling government. "We can't really evaluate their work right now. They have lots of other issues on their agenda."
One thing in their favor, immeasurably, is what lies in Egyptian sands. In its bid to revive tourism, the government this month reopened the Serapeum of Saqqara, a subterranean necropolis where bulls were believed to have been buried in giant sarcophagi. The site was closed for a decade for renovation.
One tourist who marveled at Egypt's heritage was Herodotus, the ancient Greek who wrote about Egyptian beliefs and customs, based on what he said he had observed.
According to a 19th century translation by a British scholar, he wrote: "Concerning Egypt itself, I shall extend my remarks to a great length, because there is no country that possesses so many wonders, nor any that has such a number of works which defy description."

NEW YORK (AP) ? As consumers we want our electronic gadgets to be durable. But as patients, we might want them to dissolve ? inside our bodies.
Scientists reported Thursday that they succeeded in creating tiny medical devices sealed in silk cocoons that did the work they were designed for, then dissolved in the bodies of lab mice. It's an early step in a technology that may hold promise, not only for medicine, but also for disposal of electronic waste.
The new work is "a remarkable achievement" in combining materials to produce a working device, said Christopher Bettinger of Carnegie Mellon University. He works on biodegradable electronics but was not involved in the study.
Doctors already use implants that dispense drugs or provide electrical stimulation, but they don't dissolve. The new work is aimed at making devices that do their jobs as long as needed and then just dissolved, without need for surgical removal or risk of long-term side effects.
In the experiment, the devices ? which look like tiny computer chips ? were designed to generate heat, a potential strategy for fighting infection after surgery by killing germs, said John Rogers of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champagne, an author of the study.
The devices worked in the mice for more than a week, until their silk coatings dissolved enough for bodily fluids to erode key parts of the devices, he said. After three weeks, the tiny gadgets had basically disappeared.
Someday for people, similar devices might be programmed to monitor the body and release drugs accordingly, or produce electric current to accelerate bone healing, Rogers said.
The researchers used the protective cocoon envelope because silk can be processed to stay intact for varying periods of time ? from seconds to weeks and potentially for years, he said. The device's circuitry itself was built from other materials that degrade in the body, such as magnesium and silicon.
The federally funded research was reported online in the journal Science.
Apart from medicine, the technology offers a way to cut down on electronic waste, or E-waste, if portable consumer devices could be made with decomposing components, the researchers wrote.
And there are other potential uses, too Rogers suggested. For example, such devices could be scattered near a chemical spill to monitor things like chemical concentrations without any need to retrieve them later.

Facebook starts tracking users' offline buys
13 hrs.
In?Facebook's latest attempt to prove the efficacy of advertiser dollars, the 950 million-member site will begin tracking what its American users buy in offline stores even as it phases out its controversial facial-recognition feature in Europe.
Although they are separate pieces of technology, the two programs raise concerns about privacy and about just how much of themselves, their tastes and their behavior social?network users are willing to put into the hands of engineers and marketing executives.
Criticism from data-protection regulators in Ireland and users all across Europe prompted an order from the European Union that Facebook drop its recently acquired facial-recognition technology in all EU member states. Facebook Europe is an Irish company.
Facebook's facial-recognition feature uses data from photos in which individuals have already been tagged to make suggestions for tagging similar-looking individuals in new ones. In a sense, Facebook "knows" what you look like and can identify you and your friends with remarkable accuracy.?
The EU said the social network needs to ratchet up its privacy-protection efforts before the "Tag Suggest" feature will be allowed back on the pages of European residents.
The campaign for Tag Suggest's ouster in Europe began when Max Schrems, an Austrian student, received a 1,200-page document about himself from Facebook after he had requested a copy of all the data the company kept on him.
[11 Facebook Privacy Steps to Take Now]
In the document, Schrems found he had been automatically tagged by the facial-recognition software without his assent. The document has also been pointed to as evidence that photos and comments aren't actually deleted from Facebook, even when users think they are.
Photos and activities stay on Facebook's servers for at least 30 days after they've been "deleted" by users, if they're ever totally purged at all.
Ireland's Data Protection Commissioner (DPC), which was charged with reviewing Facebook's privacy policies by the EU, suggested a total of 45 changes and has asked the company to get rid of facial profiles created by the facial-recognition software by the middle of October.
The social network acquired the face-recognition technology in June when it bought Face.com, an Israeli company that had already worked with the Menlo Park., Calif., site for two years.
Facebook constantly walks the tightrope between satisfying its users and its customers, whose desires and goals are often opposed. Users want privacy and a clean interface, while advertisers seek prime placement, personal information and behavioral data to better target their marketing campaigns.
Facebook users have accused the social behemoth of behaving in a cavalier fashion when it comes to protecting user data. The site has also come under fire for offering controversial marketing tools to advertisers, such as "sponsored" newsfeed items that places a person's name and face next to an advertiser that that person "likes" without his or her knowledge or permission.
Data hungry
Months after an initial public offering that CEO Mark Zuckerberg said has "obviously been disappointing," Facebook is trying another tactic as it continues to make the case that ads on its widely used platform, as well as the ads it sells on other sites, are a worthwhile investment.
The company is partnering with the marketing-research company Datalogix in an attempt to prove a direct correlation between the ads a user sees and the products they buy.
Datalogix buys information gleaned from gift cards and loyalty programs that paint a picture of consumption for some 70 million American households shopping at over 1,000 retailers. According to the Financial Times, which broke the story of the Facebook partnership, Datalogix also "creates incredibly detailed profiles of nearly every US household," including the sort of financial information most people wouldn't tell their neighbors.
By comparing this data about individual shoppers with Facebook's information about the same people, Datalogix can determine whether or not a user purchased a particular product in a brick-and-mortar store after seeing an ad for it on Facebook.
According to Facebook, the program is working. The company said that out of the 45 ad campaigns that have been analyzed using Datalogix, 70 percent made $3 in sales for every dollar they spent on Facebook's marketing products.
While that's strong proof that Facebook ads are effective, not everyone is pleased about all the data matching.
The correlated data Facebook receives from Datalogix, and then hands off to advertisers, is anonymized. User data is reported statistically, not individually.
In reports to Facebook and its advertisers, Datalogix splits users who bought a particular product into groups of those who did and didn't see an ad. They do not provide Facebook with consumer information about particular individuals or households.
But at some point in the information-sharing chain, the data is not anonymous at all. In order for Datalogix's service to work, it and Facebook must match real information each holds about real individuals, such as their email addresses, to properly cross-reference their data sets.
Between Facebook and Datalogix, the companies know who you are, where you live, what you're worth, how much you owe and what you drive. If you've got a Facebook app on your smartphone, they could also find out where you are at any given moment.
The Financial Times said privacy advocates are concerned about whether the new practice violates a $9.5 million settlement between Facebook and the U.S. Federal Trade Commission after Facebook was caught deceiving users about privacy practices.
It's not clear when the partnership between Datalogix and Facebook began, but the move was not announced to users, nor were users given a chance to opt out of the program.
In order to be excluded from this data-culling practice, users have to visit the Datalogix site, where they are offered a link that presumably clears their Datalogix browser cookies in a single click. The link leads to a page that tells you that you have "successfully opted out of Datalogix cookie-enabled online advertising."
However, the first result in a Google search for "Datalogix opt out" brings the user to the same completion page. There is no prompt to enter an email address or any other personal information.
Facebook has a history of rolling out new metrics or features that change user privacy without notifying users or giving them the option of opting out.
According to Facebook, an independent monitor is auditing its data-use practices.

No time to exercise? Try 10-minute workouts - TODAY Health

No time to exercise? Shorter, more frequent exercise sessions of at least 10 minutes that incorporate intense strength training or cardio intervals can lead to dramatic results, experts say.
By Dorene Internicola , Reuters
NEW YORK ? The procrastinators, the super-busy, and the easily bored in pursuit of a manageable fitness routine may find what they seek in the 10-minute workout.?
Experts say what these short bursts of activity, sometimes called exercise snacking, lack in duration they can make up for in intensity.?
"You can get a good enough workout that can make real metabolic changes to your body," said Liz Neporent, co-author of "The Thin in 10 Weight-Loss Plan" along with fitness instructor Jessica Smith.
"It can help you lose weight, reduce stress and basically give you all the benefits that we know come from exercise."
The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends that most adults to engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise each week.
But multiple shorter sessions of at least 10 minutes are acceptable and even people unable to meet the minimums still benefit from some activity, according to ACSM.
Neporent, who writes on health and fitness, said mainstream science is finding that if you increase intensity you can decrease time.
That approach can work for a lot of people, she said, because poll after poll has shown that the number one objection to not getting a workout in is time.
"The typical recommendation is to do 30 minutes, so if we told you that you could do 10 minutes at a time, you might actually have a better shot at getting it done," she said.
To make the most of 10 minutes, Neporent and Smith favor a hybrid of cardio and strength exercises.
"You want to get in something that's heart-healthy, and something that's good for your muscles and bones," Neporent said. "A lot of our workouts (in the book) tend to be circuit-weighted to maximize time."
They also promote the 10-minute walk; the meal plan section extends the theme with recipes that take 10 minutes or less to prepare.
Amy Dixon, creator of the "Give Me 10" DVD series of 10-minute workouts, said studies show shorter, but more consistent, workouts can yield dramatic results.
"If I had 10 minutes I would do fairly intense strength training, total body workouts with dumbbells or kettle bells interspersed with cardio intervals like jumping jacks," said Dixon, who is Group Fitness Manager at an Equinox fitness center in Santa Monica, Calif.
She's seen too many people spend 60 minutes just going through the motions of a cardiovascular workout.
"If you're reading a magazine," she said, "you're not working out."
Dr. Carl Foster, a professor in the exercise and sports science department at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, said there are unique advantages to high-intensity training for the young and the fit.
"There are things you gain that you can't get from low-intensity workouts because you're using muscle fibers that are sedentary in a walk," he said.
For the middle-aged or older, high-intensity exercise has its perils.
"Somewhere around age 45 for men and 55 for women, you worry about the dark side of exercise," he said.
"Studies are clear that when people have catastrophes, such as heart attacks, they are almost always related to inappropriately high-intensity exercise."
Sometimes high-intensity routines are just too uncomfortable to be habit-forming, he said.
"Yes it can be done. You can do the work in 10 minutes but then it takes you 40 minutes to recover."
Foster predicts the focus on high-intensity interval training will wane.
"It will be like seasoning in food: you want to feel like an athlete, so let's do some of it in the middle of the workout," he said.
Before you leap into high-intensity training, he urges, be sure to have at least six months of normal training behind you. Then gradually add five or 10 seconds that are a little harder.
The biggest risk is that people who've been sedentary will suddenly decide to get in shape with high-intensity training.
"For middle-aged and older people, high-intensity training can be a trap that leads to health problems," Foster said.
"The people who are moderately active on a routine basis are the people who don't get heart attacks."

Gay Liberal Senator opposes same-sex marriage : Family First NZ
Posted by Bob on Monday, September 24, 2012
Fascinating reading ? Same-sex Marriage debate last week in Australian Senate
Senator SMITH (Western Australia) (11:27):? I rise to add my views to the debate on the Marriage Amendment Bill (No. 2) 2012 and its desire to extend the definition of ?marriage? to include couples in same-sex relationships. My views are my own and have been formed after years of discussion, observation and careful consideration. I accept that to some the idea of an openly gay man rejecting a proposition to extend the definition of ?marriage? to same-sex relationships seems unusual or counterintuitive. In response, I say that it speaks to the often overlooked fact that opinion on the issue of extending the definition of ?marriage? is heavily divided even among gay and lesbian Australians. I do not doubt that there are many gay and lesbian Australians and their families and friends that support the legislation, but there are also others who do not?.
The debate on same-sex marriage has been a complex and controversial one.?.. It has been controversial also because many have confused the religious institution of marriage with marriage as a civil institution. It is marriage as a civil institution that should demand the primary concentration and deliberations of parliamentarians. I believe any future deliberation by the parliament on matters regarding the legal treatment of same-sex couples should make as its focus the task of creating a starker distinction between marriage as a civil institution and its role for some as a religious institution.
My primary opposition to this proposal is born from my strong regard and faith in the cautionary, conservative and traditional approach to these matters. As I have said previously, I distrust sentiments and actions that seek to dismiss, modify or reject as relics our institutions and customs?institutions and customs that have evolved to serve our community well. I believe that cautious and considered change is critical if we are to bring about stability and continuity for our community.
I reject the suggestion of marriage equality. Marriage equality has been a slogan; it has been a campaign. The claim to equality ignores the widely accepted fact that marriage is an institution that has a long and well-accepted definition?a definition that is heavily laden with cultural meaning and values crafted by custom and by law over the years. It is an institution that has a common and well-understood meaning in Australia. I dispute the commentary in this place and others suggesting that the majority of Australians are ready to extend the meaning of marriage to same-sex relationships. I also dispute the view that the inability to utilise the Marriage Act restricts in any fundamental manner the quality of life experiences of gay and lesbian Australians.
The case for equality for gay and lesbian Australians was a battle too-long fought. It must be acknowledged that on the substantive matters of equality in Australia, gay and lesbian Australians can live at law without discrimination?.
Let me share with you the view of at least one other gay Australian who has challenged the current marriage equality movement. This comment was recorded in April this year in OUTinPerth, a community newspaper based in Perth, my home town. It said: The other thing that?s irritating I suppose about it is that it has become this orthodoxy within the community. Dissenting voices are not allowed, it?s just assumed that if you?re gay you?re for it, as it?s clearly a human right ? which it?s not. The article goes on to what I regard as the most important, but all too often forgotten, critical element in the debate when it says: The right is to have our relationship recognised equally by the State; the right is not to marriage.
?.By not agreeing to same-sex marriage, I am not choosing to endorse discrimination against my fellow gay and lesbians Australians or to be disrespectful to their domestic relationships, or to lessen the value of their commitments, companionship, love and unions. Instead, for me, it is an honest acknowledgement, of the special and unique characteristics of the union described as ?marriage?.

NBA Sunday: Jamario Moon Wants To Join Hawks
When the Atlanta Hawks open training camp next week they will do so without a familiar face manning the small forward position. Marvin Williams, the team?s full-time starting small forward since the 2007 season, was dealt to the Utah Jazz in July in exchange for former All-Star guard Devin Harris.
Williams was a key part of the Hawks? current five season playoff appearance streak, but was much maligned in Atlanta for failing to live up to his status as the No. 2 overall pick in the 2005 draft after being selected ahead of All-Star guards Chris Paul and Deron Williams.
The departure of Williams has left the Hawks with a gaping hole at small forward entering training camp.
President of basketball operations and general manager Danny Ferry has been on the hunt for a defensive minded wing player and there is a veteran forward who would like an opportunity to earn a spot on the team?s opening night roster.
Free agent forward Jamario Moon believes he?s the logical choice to help fill the small forward void and clearly makes it known the Hawks are an organization he?d like to play for in 2012-13.
?Atlanta makes sense to me,? Moon told HOOPSWORLD on where he would fit best. ?Danny was the general manager when I was playing for Cleveland and [Hawks assistant general manager] Wes Wilcox was there too. They already know me and what I bring. It just makes sense.?
As the Hawks? roster is currently constructed possible replacements for Williams include Kyle Korver, James Anderson and Damion James. Korver is a knockdown long range marksman but he?s probably best suited to play shooting guard. Anderson and James are both 2010 draft picks who have yet to consistently crack a team?s nightly rotation since entering the league.
Moon has career averages of 6.3 points and 4.3 rebounds on 46 percent shooting in 286 games over five seasons. In 157 career starts, Moon has averaged 7.9 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game.
The veteran forward has been working out in Atlanta during the offseason and says he?s ready to get back on the court and is in great shape.
?All they have to do is give me a call,? Moon said. ?I?m ready to work and do whatever the coaching staff asks of me.?
Moon has played with the Toronto Raptors, Miami HEAT, Cleveland Cavaliers and most recently the Charlotte Bobcats. The Bobcats waived him in early July, making him an unrestricted free agent.
With all of the changes the Hawks have made to their roster since the end of last season, Moon believes the team still has the talent to compete at a high level.
?The team is young and athletic,? Moon said. ?I like the direction they?re heading.?
The Hawks currently have fifteen players signed, but the contracts of both Anderson and James are non-guaranteed for the 2012-13 campaign.
Utah Jazz?s Gordon Hayward Seeking Starting Role In 2013?
The Utah Jazz feature four players on their active roster who were selected as lottery picks over the past two years. Second year forward Gordon Hayward is one of those players and one his goals for 2012-13 is to earn a starting spot with the team.
?You want to start for the team, and you want to make sure you?re the one out there on the court getting as many minutes as you can,? Hayward told Brian Smith of the Salt Lake Tribune.
The Jazz acquired veteran forward Marvin Williams this past summer from the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for guard Devin Harris. Williams is an established starter who has logged heavy playoff minutes during his career, while Hayward showed promise by averaging 11.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.1 assists during his rookie campaign last season.
The two will be expected to battle for minutes at small forward once the Jazz open training camp next week.
?In training camp, there?s going to be some competition going on,? Hayward said. ?That?ll just further benefit all of our games and make us better as a team.?
Hayward reportedly struggled with confidence early on in his rookie season but after averaging 16.7 points on 49 percent shooting from three-point range in April (last 13 games) the former Butler University standout knows he belongs in the league.
?I?ve shown that I belong in the league?, Hayward said. And it?s something that you work for and you work towards, and now I know that I belong ? and now you push yourself even further.?
The Jazz finished last season 36-30 and reached the playoffs before being eliminated by the San Antonio Spurs in the first round. Hayward averaged 7.8 points in the postseason and shot just 18 percent from the floor, which likely drove the front office to acquire Williams for added depth on the wing.
Can Philadelphia 76ers?Center Spencer Hawes?Truly Play Power Forward?
Philadelphia 76ers head coach Doug Collins has maintained all throughout the offseason that he was going to use center Spencer Hawes more at the power forward spot, but when the team acquired All-Star Andrew Bynum the talk became more viable.
To Hawes? credit he believes he can indeed log minutes at power forward despite a perceived disadvantage guarding smaller opponents.
?I don?t think it?s a huge challenge,? Hawes told John Mitchell of the Philadelphia Inquirer. ?I?ve guarded the four a lot. Offensively, the way we?ve done it, the four and the five are pretty interchangeable. I don?t think the transition will be overwhelming.?
Hawes signed a two-year deal in free agency to remain with the 76ers and the club also signed well-traveled big man Kwame Brown. But with Bynum now in the fold, the need for both to be flexible in the frontcourt is clear.
?The bottom line is we?re all going to have to show more versatility, and that?s a good thing,? Hawes said. ?In the course of a long season it?s good to have guys that can play different positions and fill different needs. Of course, you don?t really know how it?s all going to work out until you get on the floor. But the main thing is that the guys we brought in are unselfish. That?s something that bodes well when you are introducing so many different pieces.?

Suicide bomber kills 2, injures 45 in Nigeria
BAUCHI, Nigeria (AP) ? A suicide car bomber attacked a Catholic church conducting Mass in northern Nigeria on Sunday, killing two people and wounding another 45 in a region under assault by a radical Islamist sect, officials said.
An Associated Press journalist heard the explosion after 9 a.m. Sunday in the city of Bauchi, which has seen a number of bombings and shootings blamed on the sect known as Boko Haram. The blast appeared to hit a parking lot alongside the St. John's Catholic Church in the city.
Police and military surrounded the church and did not allow journalists inside the cordon. Later at a nearby hospital, Bauchi deputy police commissioner T. Stevens told journalists told that the bomber had been stopped at the church's gate, where he detonated the explosives packed inside his car.
Doctors cautioned more could die from their injuries.
"The situation has been brought under control," Stevens said. "We have our men minding all areas."
Stevens said no group or individual had claimed responsibility for the attack, though suspicion immediately fell on Boko Haram. The sect, whose name means "Western education is sacrilege" in the Hausa language of Nigeria's north, has been waging an increasingly bloody fight against nation's weak central government. More than 680 people have died in drive-by killings and bombings blamed on Boko Haram this year alone, according to an AP count. The sect has demanded the release of all its captive members and has called for strict Shariah law to be implemented across the entire country.
The sect has used suicide car bombs against churches in the past, most noticeably a 2011 Christmas Day attack on a Catholic church in Madalla near Nigeria's capital. That attack and assaults elsewhere in the country killed at least 44 people. An unclaimed car bombing on Easter in Kaduna killed at least 38 people on a busy roadway after witnesses say it was turned away from a church.
Attacks against churches by the sect have waned in recent weeks. Nigeria's military claimed it killed the sect's spokesman and a commander Sept. 17 outside the city of Kano, potentially shaking up a sect that has continued attacks despite a tighter military presence in northern cities.
The killing of members of the sect's senior leadership comes as the group recently changed some of its tactics and attacked more than 30 mobile phone towers throughout northern Nigeria, disrupting communications in a nation reliant on cellular phones.
Saturday night, the military conducted door-to-door searches in the northern cities of Damaturu and Potiskum, areas now under a 24-hour curfew that have been hard-hit by the sect.
