---

---

Nancy Kaffer - Businesses affected by harsh winter weather last year may apply to the U.S. Small Business Administration for federal economic injury disaster loans through Oct. 1. The loans, up to $2 million at 4 percent interest, are offered in tandem with the Secretary of Agriculture’s farm-related disaster declaration regarding freeze, frost, excessive snow, low temperatures and cold weather ...
are there any parents who can tell me how violent the video game "dawn of war" gold edition (warhammer) is?

The version my son wants is for Windows 98, so it is an older game. I have read that the newer version is quite violent, and has a lot of gore. The older version includes "dawn of war" and "winter assault". The rating is M, but it indicates only blood and violence. Any additional info would be very appreciated.
My son is 11. If it is really violent (more so than the games rated for teens) then I don`t want him to play it at all. Sadly, several of his friends already have the game and they talk about it and tell him how fun it is. I get to hear "but my friends have it". I have verified with the parents and it is true. Not sure that I can trust their judgement though because both these boys also have the Grand Theft Auto games and I will NOT let my son play these.

I'd say the Dawn of War series is at the low end of the "M" rating as I have seen games far more violent and gory. You will see blood when guys get shot and see guys get run through with a sword along with the spray of blood. There are tanks, machine guns, and explosions, but the game is focused more towards a futuristic real-time strategy game than blood & gore. There is a race called Chaos that uses demons, mutations, and spells as weapons along with the guns & tanks.
For game content, screenshots, and pretty much a full run-down on the game, check here then use your own judgement:

Winter Olympics - Injury List Continues To Grow - Knee Ligament Injuries And Neck Injuries

Pain Control are offering advice on Winter Sports injuries. Pain Control will keep a close eye on the injuries suffered at the Vancouver Winter Olympics and offered adivce on similar injuries.The motto of citius, altius, fortius – faster, higher, stronger – remains after 86 years still perfectly intact for the Winter Olympics but an alternative, as the Olympic movement embraces the X Games, might just as easily be 'younger, scarier, riskier'.

Is edition XXI in Vancouver going to be the most dangerous Olympic edition the world has yet seen?

A catalogue of accidents and serious injuries this winter has offered sober reminders of what can happen when would-be Olympians, emboldened by technological advances in equipment, seek to push the boundaries of speed and complexity in their events to ever more hazardous levels.

The list of absent friends has shocked skiing officials. Canada's world downhill champion John Kucera, who snapped the tibia and fibula of his left leg when turning somersaults into the safety fence at 65mph at Lake Louise, in Alberta. American half-pipe snowboarder Kevin Pearce steps on the long road to recovery from a brain injury suffered when failing to land an ambitious jump during training and tragically, the same applies to Florent Astier, a French ski cross exponent who crashed into a fellow racer last month and ended up requiring emergency surgery after suffering a severe spinal cord injury and paralysis.

Winter Sport - Related Injuries

Many different injuries can occur whist performing Winter based sports such as Skiing and snowboarding. Over the next few weeks Pain Control aims to cover the growing list of injuries suffered by Olympic athletes and offered advice if you have suffered a similar injury.

Ankle Sprain

A sprained ankle, also known as an ankle sprain, twisted ankle, rolled ankle, ankle injury or ankle ligament injury, is a common medical condition where one or more of the ligaments of the ankle is torn or partially torn. The anterior talofibular ligament is one of the most commonly involved ligaments. Sprains to the lateral aspect of the ankle account for 85% of ankle sprains.

Cold Feet

Durham's Foot (Cold feet) or cryopedis is a condition that causes one's extremities (mainly feet) to be incessantly well below the temperature of the rest of the body.

Symptoms
Durham's Foot causes one's feet to be cold almost constantly, but is generally only triggered when temperatures are cold outside. This is directly correlated to the fact that Durham's Foot is simply the lack of the body's ability to warm the extremities. The core of the body is able to stabilize its temperature after being exposed to cold, but is generally unable to do so with the extremities. Often, one might feel a burning pain in the extremities when exposed to lukewarm water. Other symptoms include the sense of coolness to the touch of the affected extremity, but the extremity is unable to feel any sense of warmth. Again, Durham's Foot most commonly affects the feet, however there have been a few reported cases affecting the hands. While Durham's Foot is often linked to circulation problems, it can also be attributed to diabetes.

Treatment
Only a few cases exist, so the treatments tend to be more towards easing the pain, than actually curing the condition. Doctors often recommend that the extremity be kept wrapped and covered, and to pay close attention to the actual temperature. Often, those with the condition will not realize when a foot is going into Stage 1 Hypothermia, as they simply feel that the temperature is normal (for their condition).
