'Boys-'Skins on Thanksgiving? No biggie to RG3

By SCHUYLER DIXON

IRVING, Texas (AP) - Robert Griffin III, the Texas-bred quarterback who won the Heisman Trophy at Baylor, comes to his home state for the first time as a pro for the most traditional of Thanksgiving rivalries - Cowboys vs. Redskins.

Hold on a minute with all that drama and emotion building for Thursday's game. The Washington rookie grew up in Central Texas rooting for the Denver Broncos.

"It's one game and that's what we've got," Griffin said. "We've got the Dallas Cowboys, and that's what I'm going to play like."

Hold on another minute before deciding he is completely blowing off the pretty cool idea that he's coming home for a big game on a unique stage. He gets it.

"It will be fun. I'll see a lot of familiar faces," Griffin said. "It's Cowboys-Redskins or Redskins-Cowboys, whatever way you want to put it. Me being a Texas kid, I know how big the rivalry is and I get my fair shot at it."

Griffin has practical reasons for approaching Thursday's game as one Washington needs to win. Dallas quarterback Tony Romo does, too.

The Redskins (4-6) kept themselves in the playoff conversation by coming off the bye with a 31-6 blowout of Philadelphia, sparked by 14 of 15 passing and four touchdowns from Griffin. A win puts the Cowboys (5-5) a half-game behind the New York Giants in the NFC East five days after they risked ruining their season against last-place Cleveland before winning 23-20 in overtime.

"It started for us two weeks back," Romo said. "We've been putting our head down and grinding, going forward and trying put together win after win."

The Cowboys have played the Redskins more than any other team in their annual Thanksgiving home game, and Dallas has won all six previous meetings. The Cowboys also are trying to win their fourth straight against Washington, which would be the longest streak in eight years.

But the Redskins haven't brought a quarterback like Griffin into this game in a long time. Statistically, he's ahead of the other four rookies who began the season as starters, and he's right there with most of the veterans. He's one of six quarterbacks with a rating of at least 100, completing 67 percent of his passes with 12 touchdowns and just three interceptions.

The Redskins lost six of eight after Griffin's remarkable debut in a win at New Orleans, so maybe it was easy to forget about him. He sort of reminded everyone by picking apart the Eagles. He's also in the top 20 in rushing in the NFL with 613 yards. The next quarterback is Cam Newton at 394. The Cowboys have faced both.

"You can't really go into a game worried about this guy scrambling because it will slow you up and probably put you in a worse situation than just trying to go after him," said Dallas defensive end Marcus Spears. "Obviously, we have to have awareness of where he is and where he can escape."

Griffin isn't the only runner the Redskins have. Another rookie, Alfred Morris, is fifth in the league with 869 yards rushing, and Washington is one of four teams with two games of 200-plus yards on the ground this season.

The Dallas running game is struggling through the extended absence of starter DeMarco Murray and an offensive line that is also battling injuries.

Murray is likely to miss his sixth straight game against the Redskins, and backup Felix Jones is battling a knee injury that could limit him. Without those two, the Cowboys would have to rely on a pair of undrafted players in rookie Lance Dunbar and Phillip Tanner. In five games without Murray, the Cowboys have rushed for 100 yards once.

"We've shuffled guys through, but it hasn't just been there, it's been everywhere really," Romo said. "Our offensive line, we've had to move guys around and do different things."

Romo was sacked a career-high seven times by the Browns behind a line that started the game with a new center and a replacement guard, and ended up having to fill in for left tackle Tyson Smith when he sprained an ankle. One of the few constants, right tackle Doug Free, has been the focus of questions all week after he was beaten repeatedly by Cleveland.

"Every game you can look at it and say I did this wrong, I did that wrong," Free said. "Some are worse than others, but I mean every game you've got things to work on, things to fix. You've got to stay focused on the task at hand."

The Washington defense has lost several starters to injury, and even linebacker London Fletcher is in danger of missing a game for the first time in his 15-year career. He's tied with Tampa Bay's Ronde Barber for the league's longest active streak at 234 straight games, but he injured an ankle last weekend against the Eagles and faced the short week of recovery time.

"It matters to London. It matters to us, not necessarily the streak, but playing," Redskins coach Mike Shanahan said. "And there is a reason why he has played all those games because he plays when he is hurt and hopefully he will be able to play."

Griffin will play, and plenty of folks from the hometown of Copperas Cove, Texas, will be at Cowboys Stadium, where he's 1-0 after beating Texas Tech in a neutral site game for the Bears last year, although he left early with concussion-like symptoms.

"He's kind of a different guy," Shanahan said. "He's pretty relaxed no matter where he goes or who he's with. It just seems like he's pretty cool, calm and collected. He handles different stages as good as anybody I've been around."

Dangerous Habits On the Rise in Women Over 40 | KREX - News ...

Story Created: Nov 21, 2012 at 8:13 AM MST

Story Updated: Nov 21, 2012 at 10:15 AM MST

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. - Most can understand why eating disorders are common for teens and young adults. It's a time when their feelings and bodies are changing. However, that's not the only time when major emotional and physical aspects of your life can take a turn. In fact, new studies are finding a rise in one age group that is being pushed to dangerous behaviors.

"Weight loss is a $50 billion a year industry," said Krista Carpenter, licensed counselor.

With that much economic force, it's no surprise that the pressure to lose weight is not just affecting the young generation.

A few times a week, a group of women over 40 years old in Grand Junction meet at Crossroads Fitness to work out in a group atmosphere. When asked what they thought about the media pressures targeted at their age group, the women agreed that the pressures are building.

"Yeah I do think there's pressure on women after a certain age," said Jean Gauley.

Carpenter says that as these pressures mount, more and more women are developing severe habits later in life.

"13 percent of women over 50 actually exhibit one core eating disorder trait," said Carpenter. "So, that would be binge eating, over exercising, purging and things like that."

Carpenter says that as women transition from their 40s to their 50s significant changes in a their lives are causing major shifts in body image.

"You've got a lot of stuff going on like empty nest syndrome, divorces, menopause, retirement," said Carpenter. "All of those things can be things that will set off an eating disorder."

Crossroads Fitness trainer Rebecca Weitzel says the physical change can also be harsh on a woman's self esteem.

"All kinds of changes are happening and as you become less active just naturally in your life. sometimes you start seeing the muscle loss, maybe start seeing your skin start to loosen, people become a little more self conscious," said Weitzel.

So when does pushing yourself to look good, turn into a health risk?

"Our metabolisms do tend to slow down especially as we loose muscle after the age of 30 we loose a half pound of muscle a year and so if you're loosing that muscle, things are slowing down, and you may try to compensate by reducing your calories too much," said Weitzel.

"It's much more difficult to lose weight the older you get," said Gauley.

If you suspect someone in your life may be taking dangerous measures, there are some warning signs like social isolation, disappearing after meals, not wanting to eat with the family or really increased exercise.

Carpenter says she has multiple patients that exhibit signs of over exercising, and that could have serious impacts on their bodies.

"Over exercising can really wear on the joints, it can cause fatigue so that you don't have the energy to do the things that you enjoy doing," said Weitzel. "Finding that right balance is important because of course exercise is good, but there's always too much of a good thing."

Fortunately, there are plenty of positive resources available for women to stay healthy and stay safe.

"I like to tell women to start thinking about their body differently.
exercising in the right way, make sure that we include strength training, especially as women age, maintaining that muscle is kind of like the fountain of youth," Weitzel said.

"I wish we could get back into what's on the inside, and not so much how we look on the outside...although it's good to be healthy," said Thornburg.

"It's just important to be active and to live your life everyday to the best you can," added Gauley.

Carpenter says that if you suspect someone you know is struggling with an eating disorder, have them go to a doctor immediately.

For more resources on healthy activities you can partake in try your local gym. Crossroads Fitness, for example, has a number of groups designed specifically for women over 40 years old.

Windows 8 sales have been 'slow going,' Microsoft said to be blaming OEMs

Windows 8 sales have been 'slow going,' Microsoft said to be blaming OEMs

We've already heard about Windows RT's "modest" beginning, and now there's talk full-blown Windows 8 ain't flying off the shelves either. According to MS aficionado Paul Thurrott and one of his "most trusted sources," uptake of the new OS isn't hitting Redmond's targets, with the blame being put on OEMs and their "inability to deliver" more inspiring hardware with better availability. Some corroboration of Windows 8's tricky birth comes from Merle McIntosh, senior VP of product management of NewEgg, who says the online retailer was "prepared for an explosion" at launch, but that sales have "been slow going" to date. However, he says that early sales figures shouldn't be compared to Windows 7, since that OS arrived to "solve a Vista problem." He expects Windows 8 to gain traction in Q2 2013 when "pricing normalizes," which would certainly help to temper any launch frustrations.
