Tag: inquinamento DALLAS – Packers right guard Daryn Colledge has beard envy. He's so jealous of the growth on the face of Pittsburgh defensive end Brett Keisel that he hinted it may not be natural. "I think the NFL should look into testing for beard enhancers, things like Rogaine," Colledge said, clearly joking. "Maybe he's taken some of that Head & Shoulders from Troy Polamalu for a thicker beard because that thing is epically good." Colledge's beard is thick and full. It just doesn't dangle inches below his chin. "I'm just quietly trying to have a nicely groomed beard, a more-refined look," he said. "Plus, for me to have a beard like that, I would've had to start when I was 12. I mean, seriously, that thing is a little out of control. ... I think my wife is probably happy I don't have a beard like that. But part of the man in me wishes I could grow something like that. It looks like he could build a house with his bare hands." ___ SUPER TROOPER FEAST: U.S. troops deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan will have quite a feast to enjoy while watching the Super Bowl on Sunday. All the chicken wings, pizza and chili they can eat. Among the items sent to Iraq for the Super Bowl are about 120,000 pounds of chicken wings, 35,000 pounds of potato wedges, more than 45,000 pounds of pizza and more than 1,000 gallons of chili. The same kind of menu will be available to troops in Afghanistan. The taste of home is being provided by Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support, a Department of Defense combat support agency that provides a variety of logistics, acquisition and technical services to the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps. "We cannot do enough to say thank you to our deployed men and women in uniform sacrificing and serving to protect our way of life here in America," said Richard Ellis, acting commander of DLA Troop Support. "It is our pleasure and honor to serve them up some familiar fare so they can have a full Super Bowl experience before they continue on their mission." ___ THE PRETTIEST PREDICTOR: Her tiara glistening, Miss America Teresa Scanlan predicted the Green Bay Packers will win the Super Bowl. "I do feel like they've got some strong players there," Scanlan said. "(Aaron) Rodgers really is good, and I think that's what it comes down to. It's going to be close, though, so we'll see." Why is the Nebraska native a Packers fan? Because Green Bay running back Brandon Jackson was a Cornhusker; he's the only NU player on either roster. Scanlan is at the Super Bowl to take part in the Taste of the NFL, an event Saturday night benefiting food banks across the country. "Being here, where food is all over the place is and we're fine, and then to realize that there's so many people struggling from hunger, it's really sad," she said. "A donation of $10, they said, provides 40 meals. It's amazing what a tiny donation can do. So it's real important." Sunday will certainly be a big day for her, but not because of the Super Bowl. It will be her 18th birthday. ___ SHULA AWARD: The inaugural Don Shula NFL coach of the year award was presented Friday by the trophy's namesake to coach Ray Seals of Madison High in Houston. Shula, the six-time Super Bowl coach, said he was honored that his name is attached to the new award to honor exemplary football coaches at all levels. "Throughout my coaching career, my goal was always to teach value of integrity and character, even when focused on winning each and every game," Shula said. "I remember vividly how important my coaches were at every level of my coaching career. This goes back to grade school, to high school, to college and my years in the NFL." Seals was among 28 coaches nationwide nominated and received $25,000, of which $15,000 is for his school's football program. He was also recognized by the NFL as the 2008 high school coach of the year after being nominated by two of his former players, Vince Young and Moran Norris. Before Seals was introduced, Shula commented about the snowy conditions outside in Dallas. "It's a lot of hospitality out here," Shula said. "I'm from the Cleveland area, and they make me feel like I'm in Cleveland when I go outside in the snow and the wind and the ice." ___ REEBOK RODEO: Peyton Manning and Chad Ochocinco ran on treadmills to generate the power for the mechanical bull ridden by MMA champion Randy Couture. Next, Eli Manning and DeMarcus Ware had to whip large ropes to power the bull and buck off the massive Couture, who had taken riding lessons this week from rodeo king Ty Murray. "That was cool," Ochocinco said. "That was definitely a first, it was fun," Eli Manning said. "It's fun to be here with some other players, guys you get to play against. You get to see them play but you get to hang out with them a little bit before we start doing this, it's always fun." The Cowboy Up Challenge was part of Reebok's promotion of its ZigTech shoes that all of those current or former Pro Bowl players wear. ___ AP Pro Football Writer Jaime Aron contributed to this report.

Tag: precari WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. officials said on Thursday they were discussing with Egyptians different scenarios for a transition of power, including one in which President Hosni Mubarak leaves office immediately. "That's one scenario," said a senior Obama administration official who spoke on condition of anonymity. "There are a number of scenarios, but (it is) wrong to suggest we have discussed only one with the Egyptians." The New York Times reported on Thursday the Obama administration was talking with Egyptian officials about a proposal for Mubarak to resign immediately. The White House would not confirm the Times report but said discussions have been under way with Egyptians in an attempt to resolve the 10-day crisis in Egypt. Violence has raged between pro- and anti-Mubarak demonstrators after Mubarak declared he would resist demands to leave now and would remain in power until September. Tommy Vietor, spokesman for the White House National Security Council, said President Barack Obama has said now is the time to begin "a peaceful, orderly and meaningful transition, with credible, inclusive negotiations." "We have discussed with the Egyptians a variety of different ways to move that process forward, but all of those decisions must be made by the Egyptian people," Vietor said. More than one option was under discussion, a senior administration official said. Obama and his top aides have carefully avoided calling for Mubarak's resignation, instead insisting that an orderly transition "must begin now" and raising doubts about Mubarak's plans to stay in power until September. The Times reported that under a proposal discussed with high-level Egyptian officials, Mubarak would turn power over to a transitional government headed by Vice President Omar Suleiman with the support of the Egyptian military. Vice President Joe Biden spoke to Suleiman on Thursday and urged that "credible, inclusive negotiations begin immediately in order for Egypt to transition to a democratic government." Biden urged the Egyptian government to ensure no violence breaks out and appealed for the release of detained journalists and human rights advocates as the possibility of a new round of rioting loomed on Friday. Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the U.S. military's Joint Chiefs of Staff, said that he hoped the situation would "evolve peacefully so that the Egyptian people can end up with the government that they want." Mullen has praised the Egyptian military's restraint in the face of the anti-government protests in recent days and stressed on Thursday that Egyptian top brass had told him they would not engage in a violent crackdown. "In discussions I've had with their military leadership, they have reassured me that they have no intent to fire on their own people," he said in an interview on "The Daily Show." SENATE CALLS FOR TURNOVER U.S. lawmakers applied pressure on the long-time U.S. ally, calling on Mubarak to transfer power to an inclusive caretaker government in a Senate resolution that went slightly beyond Obama's public position. Two influential senators, Republican John McCain and Democrat John Kerry, pushed the proposal, which expanded on Obama's demand for a transition in Egypt to begin now. It was approved by the Senate on a voice vote. The document calls for Mubarak to immediately begin an "orderly and peaceful transition to a democratic political system." This should include "the transfer of power to an inclusive interim government in coordination with leaders from Egypt's opposition, civil society and military" to enact reforms needed to hold free and fair elections this year. Kerry said on the Senate floor that the Egyptian government should move to an interim government "over these next days." McCain expressed fears of a blood bath and emphasized that Egypt's military was the most respected institution there but it risked turning people against it unless it acted "as a genuine peacemaker." Amid concerns that a wave of protests that erupted in Tunisia and then Egypt could spread to other Middle Eastern capitals, Obama phoned Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh to follow up his pledges of reform with concrete actions. The White House said Obama also told Saleh it is imperative that Yemen take forceful action against al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. Clinton spoke to Jordan's King Abdullah -- another close U.S. ally -- on Thursday to discuss Egypt and to express support for his own recent reforms, part of a wave of change by authoritarian governments across the Middle East seeking to head off Egypt-style unrest.

Tag: galassie NEW YORK (Reuters) – The S&P 500 posted its best week in nine on Friday as the market defied calls for a pullback, and investors rotated into defensive and lagging sectors in a move that could intensify in coming weeks. Signs of improvement in the economy and strong corporate earnings have propelled stock prices, but tapering volume, meager gains and declining numbers of advancing stocks pointed to waning buying interest at the end of the week. January's employment data had a limited impact as job creation was weak but the unemployment rate fell, leaving many investors unsure how to interpret the report. Sectors that have posted strong gains recently, such as energy, materials and industrials, showed signs of profit-taking as investors shifted to consumer discretionary and technology shares. "The market has been getting more selective and the rotation is important," said Wayne Kaufman, chief market analyst at John Thomas Financial in New York. "I'm not sure people have it completely figured out yet." Networking shares were among the leaders after JDS Uniphase (JDSU.O) posted strong earnings. Its stock rose almost 30 percent and bolstered hopes for strong results from Cisco Systems (CSCO.O) next week. The Dow Jones industrial average (.DJI) rose 29.89 points, or 0.25 percent, at 12,092.15. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index (.SPX) added 3.77 points, or 0.29 percent, at 1,310.87. The Nasdaq Composite Index (.IXIC) climbed 15.42 points, or 0.56 percent, at 2,769.30. For the week the Dow rose 2.3 percent the S&P 500 rose 2.7 percent and the Nasdaq gained 3.1 percent. The S&P's energy sector (.GSPE), which has gained the most this year, was among the biggest losers on the day, falling 0.3 percent. Dow component Chevron Corp (CVX.N) dropped 0.2 percent to $97.11. Consumer discretionary shares (.GSPD) rose 0.7 percent after recent signs of life in the consumer. Shares in online retailer Amazon.com Inc (AMZN.O) climbed 1.3 percent to $175.93. Consumer shares have lagged the rally since the start of the year. Strength in technology helped push the Nasdaq to new 3-year highs after the index posted its best week since mid-September, but the move was not broad-based as declining stocks came in just ahead of advancers. A jump in Treasury debt yields could favor companies with stronger balance sheets as investors start to worry about funding costs. The yield on the 10-year note rose to 3.64 percent, the highest it has been since May 2010. "The sharp increase in the 10-year yield is concerning, and investors may be starting to focus on businesses with better balance sheets," said Eric Cinnamond, a fund manager at River Road Asset Management in Louisville, Kentucky. "Technology obviously fits that mold." Shares of JDS Uniphase and other optical component makers jumped a day after the company posted solid quarterly results, helped by ever-increasing demand for higher bandwidth in smart phones, tablets and other applications. JDS Uniphase shares rose 26.9 percent to $22.76. "The strength in the technology sector today and strong earnings from JDS Uniphase potentially have people bulled up on the prospects of a positive earnings surprise from Cisco next Wednesday," said Steve Claussen, chief investment strategist at online brokerage OptionsHouse LLC. Cisco is set to report earnings on Wednesday. The stock rose 0.6 percent to $22.05. Both the Dow and the S&P 500 made new 2 1/2-year highs. "From a short-term perspective, the Dow has resistance at the 12,050 level and support at the key 12,000 region," said Joseph Hargett, analyst at Schaeffer's Investment Research in Cincinnati, Ohio. Health insurer Aetna Inc (AET.N) forecast 2011 profit well above of Wall Street's target on Friday and increased its dividend, sending its shares 12.5 percent higher to $37.42. Tyson Foods Inc (TSN.N) advanced 5.7 percent to $18.56 after the company said quarterly earnings surged 86 percent. U.S. employment rose by a meager 36,000 jobs in January, far less than expected, but the unemployment rate fell to 9.0 percent, its lowest level since April 2009. Composite volume on the NYSE, the Amex and the Nasdaq reached 7.29 billion shares, below last year's estimated daily average of 8.47 billion.

Tag: momento CHICAGO (Reuters) – Procter & Gamble Co is consolidating its three global units into two as Vice Chairman Robert Steele prepares to retire later this year. Steele, 55, will leave as of September 1 after 35 years at the company, P&G said on Tuesday. Starting today, he is serving as vice chairman of health care strategy, working with Chairman and Chief Executive Bob McDonald to recommend strategies for P&G's healthcare business. Steele most recently led the $14.6 billion health and well-being unit, the company's smallest. He oversaw goods such as Crest toothpaste, Always feminine care pads, Iams pet food and Pringles potato crisps. He led P&G's North American business from 2000 to 2006, a tenure that included bringing Gillette Co into the business after its 2005 acquisition. P&G said that it is consolidating its three units -- beauty and grooming, health and well-being, and household care -- into two, beauty and grooming, and household care. Steele, who joined P&G in 1976 as a sales representative, would like to try to become CEO of a major company, a P&G spokesman said. One company searching for a CEO is Newell Rubbermaid. Last month, Newell said Mark Ketchum would retire from the role this year and stay on its board through the spring of 2012. Before he joined Newell in 2005, Ketchum had a 33-year career at P&G. Newell's 2010 revenue was $5.76 billion. NEW BUSINESS UNITS Under the new structure, P&G's oral care and feminine care businesses will become part of the beauty and grooming business unit. Personal health care, pet care and snacks will become part of the household care business unit. Charlie Pierce, group president of global oral care, and Steve Bishop, group president of global feminine care, used to report to Steele and now report to Ed Shirley, vice chairman of beauty and grooming. Tom Finn, president of global health care, and Dan Rajczak, senior vice president of global snacks and pet care, used to report to Steele and now report to Dimitri Panayotopoulos, the vice chairman of household care. The company plans no sales as part of the consolidation. Shares of Cincinnati-based P&G rose 0.4 percent to $63.40. (Reporting by Jessica Wohl. Editing by Gerald E.

Tag: mad LAWRENCE, Kan. – In a horrific three-week span, Kansas forward Thomas Robinson and his 9-year-old sister have lost just about all the family they've ever known. Their maternal grandparents died about two weeks apart. Then last Friday, Lisa Robinson, a single mom, died of an apparent heart attack in Washington, D.C. Coach Bill Self said she had a stepbrother in the Washington area but Jayla Thomas and her brother, a 19-year-old sophomore, are just about all the family each other has now. And they are 1,500 miles apart. The school has set up a scholarship fund for the little girl. Kansas has also hired a Washington attorney to see about financial and other considerations for the girl. "All I know is I want Thomas to be comfortable with what's best for her," coach Bill Self said. "Thomas is all she knows." Players and coaches of the sixth-ranked Jayhawks flew to Washington for services for Lisa on Thursday. Associate athletic director Jim Marchiony said money and other offers of support have been coming in from around the country. "Several people have expressed an interest in adopting Jayla," Marchiony said. "People are very concerned. This is truly a tragic situation. But it's all very preliminary at this point. It's really too early to even talk about these things. But people are very concerned." In lieu of flowers, people have been asked to make contributions to the Lisa Robinson Scholarship Fund. Kansas is aware it must not violate benefits rules of the NCAA. "The NCAA has been unbelievable," Self said. "They are trying to make as many allowances with the rules as they possibly can. In this situation, when there is as much hardship as there is, I think the NCAA is definitely looking out for the student-athlete welfare."
