And here I cringe at the mere thought of wearing contacts and having to touch my eyeball. :o ] MOAB, Utah (AP) -- A Colorado climber amputated his own
] arm Thursday, five days after becoming pinned by a
] boulder, and he was hiking to safety when he was spotted
] by searchers, authorities said.
]
] Aron Ralston, 27, of Aspen, was in serious condition late
] Thursday at a hospital in Grand Junction, Colorado.
]
] Ralston was climbing Saturday in Blue John Canyon,
] adjacent to Canyonlands National Park in far southwestern
] Utah, when a 200-pound boulder fell on him, pinning his
] right arm, authorities said.
]
] He ran out of water on Tuesday and on Thursday morning,
] he decided that his survival required drastic action.
]
] Using his pocketknife, he amputated his arm below the
] elbow and applied a tourniquet and administered first
] aid.
]
] He then rigged anchors, fixed a rope and rappelled to the
] canyon floor. Climber amputates his arm, hikes to safey |

] NHL playoff hockey. Sudden-death overtime. Sometimes,
] slow-death overtime, like when the Ducks beat the Stars
] in the fourth-longest game in NHL history last week.
] Nothing like it. Lots of great playoff games have gone
] long. So we give you the best of the overtime
] drama from the NHL playoffs. My personal fave is when Yzerman scored on St. Louis in game 7's OT a few years back. I gave myself a concussion from hitting my head on the ceiling I lept so high. Playoff hockey. Nothing like it on the planet. |

"It is a fear palpable throughout the NHL, a concern that can be dismissed as nostalgia for an era gone by but also touches a sensitive nerve with more than a few athletes and coaches."
"Tie Domi has the offensive ability to survive in the skill game.
The worry to some faced with the realities of a new NHL, one that might be a more skillful league but also appears more peaceful, is that this is a process that could rob the league of its color and personality." Is a more peaceful NHL a better NHL? |
