Dead Steelers Fan Laid Out In Black And Gold

PITTSBURGH -- James Henry Smith loved his country. He served in Vietnam and spent 25 years in the Army, Army Reserve and National Guard.But the 55-year-old Garfield man also had love for his favorite football team, the Pittsburgh Steelers -- and that led to an unusual viewing after he died from prostate cancer this week.Smith's family asked the Coston Funeral Home in Lincoln-Lemington to place his body not in a casket, but in a recliner that faced a television playing Steelers highlights, with a remote control in his hand.The body was dressed in black and gold clothing -- traditional Steelers colors -- and a blanket bearing the team's logo was draped over an armrest. Sitting on a table next to the chair were a pack of cigarettes and a can of beer.

The scene was reminiscent of Steelers game days in the Smith household, according to his family."He wanted to be at home in a surrounding with the things he liked to do," said Smith's widow, Denise. "I tried to do everything in the world to make it peaceful for him."Family members and friends welcomed the arrangement."Everyone who knew him and loved him can always remember he was just at peace, sitting up there watching television, and he just went to sleep," Denise Smith said.On Wednesday, a military burial was held at Allegheny Cemetery in Lawrenceville. Smith was laid to rest in Section 52 -- coincidentally, the same number that Steelers Hall of Fame center Mike Webster once wore.

Smoking is bad for your sex life because it makes men impotent and women ugly.

The British government launched a series of tough anti-cigarette adverts on Friday with the message that smoking is bad for your sex life because it makes men impotent and women ugly.

The campaign is designed to target young Britons' fears about their sexual attractiveness -- an area the government says is more effective than highlighting general health concerns.

One ad uses a burning cigarette end between two "fingerlegs" as a metaphor for a penis with the strapline "Does smoking make you hard? Not if it means you can't get it up."

Another targets women saying cigarettes lead to premature skin aging and warns that smoking causes "cat's bum mouth."

"We know 70 percent of smokers want to stop smoking, however, with younger people, fears about attractiveness and fertility can be a stronger motivation to quit than fears about health," said Public Health Minister Caroline Flint. The government says smoking increases the risk of erectile dysfunction by around 50 percent for men in their 30s and 40s and that up to 120,000 British men in this age group were impotent as a result of smoking.

A recent survey by NHS Smoking Helpline also found two-thirds of young men and women, and over half of smokers, said smoking reduced sexual attractiveness.

Sauerkraut is Healthiest Topping for 150 Million Hot Dogs To Be Eaten on July 4th

FREMONT, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 1, 2005--

Sauerkraut is the healthiest topping for hot dogs, which will be consumed in record numbers by millions of Americans this July 4th weekend. According to the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council Americans will eat 150 million hot dogs on July 4th and 2 billion hot dogs during the month of July. Sauerkraut is high in antioxidant cancer fighting compounds, fiber, vitamins, calcium and minerals.

Finnish researchers reported that fermenting cabbage produces compounds known as isothiocyanates, shown in laboratory studies to prevent the growth of cancer. Fermentation actually enhances its protective effects. Glucosinolates in sauerkraut activate the body's antioxidant enzymes, and flavonoids protect artery walls from oxidative damage. This study was published in the October 23, 2002 Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.

"Many people associate Sauerkraut with Oktoberfest, however July is actually one of the biggest months for the food. Health conscious consumers are beginning to realize that sauerkraut is actually on of the healthiest foods they can eat, and you'll see it being used in an increasing number of recipes as awareness increases. Even supermodels like Heidi Klum are making it part of their diet, so the rest of the country is bound to follow her lead," says Chris Smith, VP of marketing for the Fremont Company, one of the United States' leading producers of sauerkraut.

The 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, published by the United States Department of Agriculture, recommends a minimum of five servings of fruits and vegetables per day, especially those rich in naturally occurring substances, including antioxidants, flavonoids and vitamins.
