MARTINSVIllE, Va: - At age 50, Mark Martin has seen his share of ups and downs. He's · learned not to panic.

I'm excited working with the team and (crew chief) Alan Gustafson and all of these guys, and my teammates, as well. . · After competing in Fords owned by Jack Roush for most of his career, Martin spent the 2007-08 running partial schedules (24 races both years) for Dale Earnhardt Inc. This year an opportunity to join Hendrick Motorsports persuaded Martin to go back to a full campaign: · "Every time I get a chance to be around (owner) Rick (Hendrick), I just want to sit there and soak it up like a sponge and try to I~ from him," said Martin. "It's incredible how he makes people feel and how he inspires them to do; you know, more than you could ever think that you could.

Gordon aild Martin have adopted similar chassis setups. "It's so surprising to me because Jeff Gordon, you never see Jeff Gordon's car out of shape," said Martin. "You see mine sideways fairly often, and I never would have thought our driving styles would be so similar, and maybe they aren't, but they feel similar....

The American Cancer Society recommends 30 ·minutes or more of moderate physical activity live or more days each week. : Being overweight or obese has been associated with an increase risk of developing cancer of the bowel or rectum. • Some studies have lndicar: ed that a diet high in fat (especially animal fat) may be a factor in some cases of colorectal cancers, where as a diet rich in fiuits, vegetables and tiber may actually prevent some types of bowel cancer. A common symptom of coforectal cancer is a change in .bowel habits. Some of the ·symptoms include cons.tipation or diarrhea, feeling that your bowel does not enipty completely, and seei ng blood in the stool (either bright red or very dark). · Having nausea and vomiting, feeling very tired and losing , weight with no known reason are all. syniptoins and should be reported · to your health care provider. Most often these symptoms Colorectal cancer is the· third most commonly diagnosed form of cancer and the third leading cause of cancer deaths in both men and women. ln . 2008, nearly 149,000 people were diagnosed with colorectal cancer and approximately 50,000 may have needlessly died . Most colorectal (bowel) cancers develop from noncancerous growths called polyps that are found in the. colon and the . rectum. Locating these polyps and removing · them during screening can actually pre- · vent cancer from occumng. . _Colonoscopy is a diagnostic screening procedure that allows the physician to view the entire colon, and if necessary remove any pre-cancerous polyps. Before undergoing this procedure patients are instructed to take special laxative agents to completely cleanse the colon. · .Li~ht sedation is usually provided during. the exam. According to the National Polyp Study, periodic colonoscopy ' could prevent 76 to 90 percent of colon cancers. Because the incident rate of colorectal cancer is 14 times higher in adults 50 years l)lld older, all people 50 and older should be screened. Most doctors recommend every 10 years, If polyps are found and removed your doctor will w&nt to reexamine in {ive years. Some of the known risk factors associated wlth cancer of the bowel are: Heredity and medi.cal history. People who have a . parent, sibling or offspring who have~ or have had colorectal cancer have about twice the risk of developing this disease.

The American Cancer Society recommends 30 ·minutes or more of moderate physical activity live or more days each week. : Being overweight or obese has been associated with an increase risk of developing cancer of the bowel or rectum. • Some studies have lndicar: ed that a diet high in fat (especially animal fat) may be a factor in some cases of colorectal cancers, where as a diet rich in fiuits, vegetables and tiber may actually prevent some types of bowel cancer. A common symptom of coforectal cancer is a change in .bowel habits. Some of the ·symptoms include cons.tipation or diarrhea, feeling that your bowel does not enipty completely, and seei ng blood in the stool (either bright red or very dark). · Having nausea and vomiting, feeling very tired and losing , weight with no known reason are all. syniptoins and should be reported · to your health care provider. Most often these symptoms Colorectal cancer is the· third most commonly diagnosed form of cancer and the third leading cause of cancer deaths in both men and women. ln . 2008, nearly 149,000 people were diagnosed with colorectal cancer and approximately 50,000 may have needlessly died . Most colorectal (bowel) cancers develop from noncancerous growths called polyps that are found in the. colon and the . rectum. Locating these polyps and removing · them during screening can actually pre- · vent cancer from occumng. . _Colonoscopy is a diagnostic screening procedure that allows the physician to view the entire colon, and if necessary remove any pre-cancerous polyps. Before undergoing this procedure patients are instructed to take special laxative agents to completely cleanse the colon. · .Li~ht sedation is usually provided during. the exam. According to the National Polyp Study, periodic colonoscopy ' could prevent 76 to 90 percent of colon cancers. Because the incident rate of colorectal cancer is 14 times higher in adults 50 years l)lld older, all people 50 and older should be screened. Most doctors recommend every 10 years, If polyps are found and removed your doctor will w&nt to reexamine in {ive years. Some of the known risk factors associated wlth cancer of the bowel are: Heredity and medi.cal history. People who have a . parent, sibling or offspring who have~ or have had colorectal cancer have about twice the risk of developing this disease.

They are ·practicing lor a round-robin style event called the Red Dragon where several peop_le in armor · are tied together with rope and they have various swords representing different parts of the dragon. The point of the event is to "kill" the dragon by disabling its various body parts and in the end, striking the heart, the person that everyone else is tied to. Taylor says part of White's issues come from the intense poveny the fam- . ily has endured over the · years. A culture of entitlement has developed around them. A belief the family is owed money · has caused rifts between people who could and would help them. He says White is surrounded by . more than enough "great friends," who don't care so much for the man, but would rather see the crazy character. '!hey want to take him out dripking," he said. "They're the ones killing the guy." Taylor isn't saying he hasn' t been guilty of the same thing. Back when he first sta~ted coming . to visit White at his trailer, he was one of those people who showed up on his doorstep with a jar of moonshine ready to party. Over the past year, as he's had the chance to see the value of those kinds of friends, he's changed his approach. "These days, I call ahead and make sure he's got some· thing to eat," Taylor sa(d. "He doesn't eat right. He doesn't take care of himself." Taylor says the film is almost finished. With another month of editing , "The Wild and Wonderful Whites" will ·be ready for film testivals. · "We have 500 hours of footage,'' he said , "This ought to be a six -pan series instead of just an ho.ur-anda-half film -." Although he hopes "The Wild and Wonderful Whites" will be -picked up · for distribution at movie houses, he's realistic. Only a spare harrdful of documentaries get picked up for & Jim~s natiomil distribution. A few end up as an house films. But he expects ''The Wild and Wonderful Whites" will probably find its audience on DVD, . We offer the best prices . _ and protection for vou. the bat in~uranct protection at <.OmperitiVf price.~.

They are ·practicing lor a round-robin style event called the Red Dragon where several peop_le in armor · are tied together with rope and they have various swords representing different parts of the dragon. The point of the event is to "kill" the dragon by disabling its various body parts and in the end, striking the heart, the person that everyone else is tied to. Taylor says part of White's issues come from the intense poveny the fam- . ily has endured over the · years. A culture of entitlement has developed around them. A belief the family is owed money · has caused rifts between people who could and would help them. He says White is surrounded by . more than enough "great friends," who don't care so much for the man, but would rather see the crazy character. '!hey want to take him out dripking," he said. "They're the ones killing the guy." Taylor isn't saying he hasn' t been guilty of the same thing. Back when he first sta~ted coming . to visit White at his trailer, he was one of those people who showed up on his doorstep with a jar of moonshine ready to party. Over the past year, as he's had the chance to see the value of those kinds of friends, he's changed his approach. "These days, I call ahead and make sure he's got some· thing to eat," Taylor sa(d. "He doesn't eat right. He doesn't take care of himself." Taylor says the film is almost finished. With another month of editing , "The Wild and Wonderful Whites" will ·be ready for film testivals. · "We have 500 hours of footage,'' he said , "This ought to be a six -pan series instead of just an ho.ur-anda-half film -." Although he hopes "The Wild and Wonderful Whites" will be -picked up · for distribution at movie houses, he's realistic. Only a spare harrdful of documentaries get picked up for & Jim~s natiomil distribution. A few end up as an house films.

TURNER;Maine (AP) New England's largest egg farm is being investigated after allegations of animal cruelty, including too many hens stuffed in cages. The state Department · of : Agriculture searched Quality Egg of New England LLC on Wedne sday, Assistant District Attorney Andrew Robinson said. Prosecutors will investigate before deciding if charges will ·be filed, he said. The farm says it has more than 4 million .laying hens and delivers more than 65 ,000 cases of farm-fresh brown and white eggs to customers in the Northeast · each week. · The Department of Agriculture was alerted to potential problems at the . former DeCoster Egg Farm by Mercy for Animals. an animal welfare organization with offices in Columbus, . Ohio, and Chicago. The organization obtained video and photos from an undercover investigator who was hired at the egg farm and documented the . conditions of the egg-laying hens during the six weeks he worked there, said . Nathan Runkle, the group's 'f executive director. The worker documented , hens in cramped cages; sick and injured hens that didn't receive · veterinary treatment; and decomposing carcasses and rotting eggs in cages alongside hens, Runkle said.

TURNER;Maine (AP) New England's largest egg farm is being investigated after allegations of animal cruelty, including too many hens stuffed in cages. The state Department · of : Agriculture searched Quality Egg of New England LLC on Wedne sday, Assistant District Attorney Andrew Robinson said. Prosecutors will investigate before deciding if charges will ·be filed, he said. The farm says it has more than 4 million .laying hens and delivers more than 65 ,000 cases of farm-fresh brown and white eggs to customers in the Northeast · each week. · The Department of Agriculture was alerted to potential problems at the . former DeCoster Egg Farm by Mercy for Animals. an animal welfare organization with offices in Columbus, . Ohio, and Chicago. The organization obtained video and photos from an undercover investigator who was hired at the egg farm and documented the . conditions of the egg-laying hens during the six weeks he worked there, said . Nathan Runkle, the group's 'f executive director. The worker documented , hens in cramped cages; sick and injured hens that didn't receive · veterinary treatment; and decomposing carcasses and rotting eggs in cages alongside hens, Runkle said. The organization . posted photos and video on its Web site. : "In a civilized society, it is our moral obligation to protect all animals from needless suffering, including those raised for food," Runkle said. Telephone calls to Quality Egg were not immediately returned Wednesday. But the company says on its Web site that it's "proud :to say" it strictly adheres 'to U.S. Department . .of Agriculture guidelines apd is certified in' the production and delivery of its eggs. : .Mercy for Animals s~id Quality Egg is a major su,pplier of Jeffersonville, P~.­ based Eggland's Best, and it planned a news confere(\te about the Maine farm for Thursdar in Pbiladelphla.

G:tm,_ -itnttnel Gas, electric or push: a look at lawnmower options Bv' MELISSA KOSSLER DUTTON FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS I .ove it or loathe car~ season is upon it, lawn us. And after decades of mak · ing lawnmowers bigger, more powerful and easier to push,. manufacturers now are touting self-powered mowers and electric models just big enough to get the job done. Why? Many customers want to cut the grass without cutting a bigger hole in the ozone layer. "There's a little bit more work involved," said Lou Manfredini , Ace Hardware's Chicago-based spokesman. "People who are more environmentally conscious understand that it iakes a little bit more work." : To satisfy green customers, companies have made changes to elecnic mowers, such as improving the engines and developing battery-operated . equipment. The manufacturers of gaspowered mowers also have addressed concerns by crealing engines that run cleaner.. "The green initiative is more evident and more pronounced in a lot of products," said Joe New)and, group product manager for Black & Decker in Towson, Md. With the current economic downtUrn, Peter Sawchuk, lawnmower expert for "Consumer Reports" magazine, ex peers more homeowners will be in the market for a mower this spring. The industry saw an uptick in sales in the fall,which .many attributed to homeowners · cutting their lawn care service to save money. Here's how some experts rated the pros and cons of various styles of mowers: ••• PUSH REEL MOWERS: History: This non-motorized mower is the original lawn cutter. It ~uts the grass b~ pulling it up and snippmg off the top. Cost: about $100 Tip: Sharpen blades regularly to make mowing easier for the operator. PROS: Good for tlie environment because it does not burn fuel or produce emissions. ·• Does not require gas, oil, filters or spark plugs. The snipping motion of the blades .keeps lawns healthy. · · . Quiet. · .Lightweight. " Little annual mainte~tance, although blades should be sharpened annually. . CONS: : Will have difficulty cutting long or wet grass. ~ Won't run over leaves or yard debris. · ; Won't cut close to flower beds and other landscape features. .· ~ ..Requires the most effort . fro.m oper'dtor. •••• : CORDED ELECTRIC MOWERS: : History: Corded electric mowers· have been in use fQr about 40 years. They have a fanlike blade that tears off the top of grass blades. : Cost: around $199 tn $249 · Tip: LOok for one with a reversible handle to make it easier to accommodate · the col-d while mowing. · PROS: .. Easy to start. : No gas to buy or store. :· No polluting emissions. .. Quiet .. : Unlimited mowing time. : Will mow over some twi~s and yard debris . - Lrttle annual mainte· itance, although blades should oe sharpene~ annually. . ·coNs: ·The _cord is a potential safety .hazard.

'Less power than a gas engine. - Runs on energy produced 6Y fossil fuels. • N'ot designed for lots 'larger than l/3-acre. ·Will have trouble with wet or long grass. ••• BATTERY-POWERED ELECTRIC MOWERS: History: Developed about 15 years ago to address · saf~ty issues created by lawnmower cord!>. They have a , fanlike blade that tears off the top tj grass . blades. Cost: Average ranges from $349 ro $399 Tip: Consider buying a backup battery that can be charged and ready in case the original lose·s power before the job is complete. PROS : Easy to start. No gas to buy or store. Runs clean and does not pollute the air. No cord. Only lakes about 10 cents worth of electricity to charge. Quiet. Little annual maintenance, although blades should be sharpened annually. CONS: Less power than a gas engine. Runs ·on energy produced · by fossil fuels. Not designed for lots largerthan 1/3-acre.
