Fatigue News from NewsTrove
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
From: NewsTrove.com
"Muscles throughout body are affected
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also called Lou Gehrig's disease, is a disease that attacks the nerve cells (motor neurons) that control muscles. It gets worse over time (is progressive). Motor neurons carry messages about movement from the brain to the muscles, but in ALS the motor neurons degenerate and die; therefore, the messages to move no longer get to the muscles. When muscles aren't used for a long time, they weaken, waste away (atrophy), and twitch under the skin (fasciculate).
Eventually, all the muscles that a person can control (voluntary muscles) are affected."

Jim Souhan: Robinson vows there'll be no regrets
From: NewsTrove.com
"He's already achieved the latter.
Robinson faced long odds on the court this year. He was considered a reserve until fellow senior Adam Boone suffered a season-ending injury. Generously listed at 5-10, Robinson is often the smallest player to shake hands in pregame introductions.
They say it's not the size of the man in the fight, but the size of the fight in the man, and Robinson has proved to have an iron jaw.
His father and stepmother died of AIDS when he was 13. His stepfather insisted he avoid his brothers, for the sake of his future. And, as Robinson puts it so ominously, he grew up in Rockford, Ill."
