There is no doubt in Mike Babcock's mind that he wants to be behind the bench when Team Canada defends its gold medal at the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Russia.

"I would relish that opportunity again," Babcock told The Canadian Press in an interview Thursday. "You could say, `Why would you go, you've already won it?'

"Why wouldn't you win two?"

It's the same attitude that has guided Babcock to an unparalleled career in hockey and also shines through in his latest project. The Detroit Red Wings coach is trying his hand as an author after penning "Leave No Doubt," which is described as a "credo for chasing your dreams."

Babcock came up with that saying during a discussion with longtime friend Rick Larsen in 2009 and used it extensively while guiding the Olympic team to gold in Vancouver 2010.

The unforgettable two-week event serves as the backdrop for the motivational story told by Babcock and Larsen in "Leave No Doubt." The pair spent the past two summers working on the manuscript and only approached McGill-Queen's University Press once it was completed.

Ultimately, Babcock felt compelled to have the book published because he thought its message could help readers.

"I had parents that built a good foundation for me, gave me an opportunity and then I've been able to chase my dreams right from the get-go and had a lot of success along the way," said Babcock. "I just believed there was lots of people out there that have the same opportunity if they embrace doing so. ...

"Now there's going to be lots of people that don't agree with anything I say or don't like it. That's life. But the bottom line is I wrote it."

The result is a 138-page book an "airplane read" in the words of Babcock that is slated to hit stores across the country on April 14.

New author Mike Babcock eyes another chance at coaching Olympic team

NEW ORLEANS (AP) Sean Payton's many motivational ploys included a life-size poster of an exit door on the locker room wall at Saints headquarters. It served as a not-so-subtle reminder that finding the way out of the organization was easy for those who failed to buy into his way.

It a stunning twist, the NFL has shown Payton the door.

The move has left the Saints reeling, trying to figure out how to move forward without Payton at least for a year.

New Orleans has begun picking up the pieces.

A person familiar with the situation said Thursday three current assistants are strong candidates to take over in Payton's absence: Offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael Jr., defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo and offensive line coach Aaron Kromer.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team has not announced its plans.

The Saints also must orchestrate a front office and coaching staff shuffle to account for partial-season suspensions of general manager Mickey Loomis (eight games) and assistant head coach Joe Vitt (six games), who also coaches linebackers.

The person said it is too early to tell who will be named interim head coach or how reassignments across both the coaching staff and front office will shake out. The person added that Payton, who has now been with the club more than six years, and Loomis, who arrived 12 years ago, still had the backing of team owner Tom Benson.

Benson "continues to stand behind his guys," the person said.

The Saints could appeal the punishment handed down by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on Wednesday, but it was not immediately clear whether the Saints intended to explore that option.

George Williams retired from coaching in 2008 and was enjoying a life of leisure on the golf course and highways.

Bishop Marshall McGill and the Kingdom Christian Academy lured Williams back to the hardwood with spectacular results.

Under Williams' leadership, the Lions swept through the past season with a 23-0 record and captured the 2012 National Athletic Christian Association Division III national championship.

After a 25-year basketball coaching career that included stops as head man at Spencer (13 years), Carver (10) and Smiths Station (2), Williams put away his whistle 4 years ago.

"I played golf and I like to travel," Williams said. "I've always had the dream of coaching in college, so I travelled a lot, living the dream through my kids."

Williams and his wife, Dr. Rosalyn Williams, have two adult children who followed in their father's footsteps. Pershin Williams, 30, coaches at Georgia Southern and Donovan Williams, 25, at Lafayette College in eastern Pennsylvania. In addition, daughter Asiha Williams plays volleyball at Savannah State.

Williams' days were spent roaming the country or teeing up a golf ball until he received two job offers in the same week.

"I got an offer to coach basketball at Ft. Valley State and ended up teaching physical education there," Williams said. "Dr. McGill called and offered me this job. I'm teaching at Ft. Valley two days a week and working with the high school kids, too."

The Christian school, located on Airport Thruway,

is 2 years old and has an enrollment of 108 students in pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.

Williams returns to coaching, finds success at Kingdom Christian

Nancy Boone has plans. Big plans.

Im going to play golf, said Boone, who resigned last week as womens basketball coach at Clark College. Work on my golf game, if the weather ever clears up.

Boone, who coached the Penguins for six years, said it was time for her to take a break from coaching after 35 years at the high school, club, and college levels.

Im not having fun anymore. And Im tired, the 59-year-old said. Good season, good kids, but I wasnt having fun.

Boone guided Clark to 21-8 record this year, including a 13-3 mark and second-place finish in the NWAACC West Division.

The season marked a continuation of the Penguins improvement since a 4-20 record in Boones first season. Clarks win totals in division play during her six years: 4, 6, 7, 11, 11, 13.

Boones departure leaves Clark searching for two head basketball coaches. Mens coach Mike Arnold was informed last week that his contract will not be renewed despite a just-completed 25-4 season.

For me, it was the right thing, Boone said. Im very comfortable. Its time to take care of me for a change. I even had some thoughts about it last year, but I had some kids coming back.

21-03-2012 11:33 The local people of Kerala, on the southwestern coast of India, claim that the earth's very first coconut tree came from their soil. They called it the "tree of life" because every part of the tree--the root, the fruit, the leaves, the trunk--is utilized in a multitude of ways to support the health and survival of Kerala's indigenous people. Today, I want to discuss the health benefits of coconut oil, which has been prized as an Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years. Though ostracized in recent decades due to its "bad-for-you" saturated fat, science is finally convincing skeptical researchers that this ancient oil has unique and essential properties for optimal health. Dr. John Douillard, DC has written and produced numerous health and fitness books, CDs, and DVDs. He has been teaching and lecturing internationally for 25 years and publishes a free wellness video-newsletter filled with the latest studies and research. He was the Director of Player Development for the New Jersey Nets in the NBA and currently directs the LifeSpa- Ayurvedic Retreat Center in Boulder, CO, where he lives with his wife and six children.

One key ingredient to your weight loss and fitness success, my friends, is making focused decisions. We have to deal with so many variables each day that prevent us from attaining our fitness goals. In regard to your health, numerous times each day we are faced with situations that will either help or hurt our chances of attaining our goals. I call these crossroads. I truly believe your success is drastically impacted by the many decisions you make at these crossroads all day, each and every day. Your first crossroad starts at breakfast. You have to decide between bacon, biscuits and eggs, a meal replacement shake, oatmeal, or finally just skipping breakfast altogether because you woke up late. It has been my experience that this decision is crucial in determining whether or not you will attain your weight loss goals. If you skip breakfast, you have now missed the most important meal of the day. After waking from six to eight hours of sleeping and non-replenishment of food, skipping a meal is the last thing your body needs. Seriously, it is time for your body to be nourished so that you can be productive throughout your busy day. Secondly, if you skip breakfast you also miss the opportunity to speed up your metabolism, and we all know that a faster metabolism will help keep us lean and trim. Heres my question: At this crossroad, if our goal is to stay healthy, trim and lose fat, why would any other choice besides speeding up our metabolism and providing our body essential nutrients be an option? You will come up on these crossroads often until bed time. Snacks, lunch, dinner, exercise scheduling, and water consumption are a few crossroads that come to mind. Please be ready to make a good decision that is consistent for your goals when the next one arrives. It is also a very good idea to plan ahead. Lets say you are like many who have trouble eating large amounts of calories late at night. Well, a little planning here could be something as simple as making a list and going to the grocery store and purchasing a two- or three-day supply of healthy snacks for convenient consumption when your next late night urge strikes. By planning for this crossroad, you get to satisfy your late-night craving without gaining weight at the same time. My next question is: What would you have eaten had you not taken the time to have something healthy around? And would it have kept you on track for your health and wellness goals? These are the crossroads I challenge you to conquer all day, each day and every night. Your health, nutrition and fitness program is like a freight train moving at a high rate of speed toward your goals. Your train has the ability to stop at every railroad crossing. The doors can open, and you can hop off the fast track towards your goals and head slowly in a different direction away from them if you choose not to persist. I challenge you to be so focused on your better health by staying on board with choices that never let you change directions at these crossroads. Great decisions will keep your fitness train moving straight ahead, at a high rate of speed, toward healthy results. It takes a little effort at first to master the crossroads, but with time, they soon become second nature. This is my challenge for you today: Make good decisions at your crossroads all day, every day to attain your health goals. You can do this! Until next week, please make it a healthy and nutritious day! For more information on weight loss and healthy nutrition, contact Reggie at 613-0237.

You've put in your retirement papers and are ready for the next phase of life. Now unless your financial situation allows for globe-trotting and a carefree lifestyle, you may need to readjust your spending habits to suit your income. However, there's no reason to cut down on leisure activities and hobbies. We offer a few suggestions that will keep you active and happy, but won't break the bank.

Photography Snapping your favorite images was costly when buying film and paying for processing were your only options. However, today's digital cameras (relatively inexpensive for a non-professional model) allow for unlimited picture-taking, sorting and printing on your home computer or laptop. Name-brand models with 10MP or higher can run for less than $100, a bargain for those starting out. Extra costs: photo paper runs about $15 for 50 sheets at most office supply stores. Bonus: You can post and send emails on your favorite website for free.

Genealogy Tracing your family roots can be a wonderful way to spend your spare time and preserve a little bit of history. Local libraries and the Internet are valuable resources for getting started. Also, there are several government websites where you can access free archived information, such as names and photographs, to trace your family tree. You might also look into forums and other online sources for information searching and sharing. Cost: free.

Reading and Writing Want to be the next great novelist? Love poetry? Need to catch up on the latest best-seller? Retirement affords you the time to do all of it, and you needn't dish out big bucks. Many public libraries participate in exchange co-op programs, so you can access any book, book-on-tape, CDs and DVDs for free. If you're interested in writing on a casual or personal basis, or if you want to try your hand at making a few extra bucks, try blogging or submitting your work to free sites that accept entries.

Meditation and Yoga These hobbies are relatively easy and inexpensive, as well as beneficial to your health. You may want to take a few yoga lessons to ensure proper positioning and breathing techniques. Senior centers and local adult school programs may offer lessons at reduced rates, and how-to guides are available in libraries and book stores. Once you achieve a basic understanding of the principles, you can perform the techniques on your own to suit your personal schedule. The best part: your body (and mind) will love you for it. Cost: yoga mat $20.

Arts and Crafts The word "retirement" might immediately bring to mind images of rocking chairs and knitting needles. However, today's retirees have access to a lot more options for their leisure time. While knitting and crocheting are wonderful hobbies and yield beautiful homemade items, yarn, needles and other supplies are not cheap. However, origami and paper crafts, scrapbooking, drawing, woodcarving and floral arranging are inexpensive ways to create wonderful gifts for friends or loved ones. Take a class or borrow how-to books from the library to get started. Cost: nominal supplies.

Sports and Physical Activities Golf and tennis are sports that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. However, memberships to exclusive country clubs can set you back a pretty penny. Instead, sign up to play on public golf courses, which charge considerably less for a round. If possible, walk rather than rent a cart (you'll get extra exercise in, too) and have your clubs cleaned and re-gripped instead of springing for a brand new set. Also, adapt your schedule to play in the off-hours, such as late afternoons or weekdays, when rates are reduced. (Some courses also offer nine-hole rates for off-peak times). The same applies to Tennis. Not only are outdoor public courts free, but you'll also get some fresh air. If sports are not your thing, dancing, bicycling, hiking and walking are perfect for staying in shape, meeting new people and having fun. Costs: varied.

Games and Puzzles Experts agree that playing games like chess, scrabble and cards are beneficial to your mental health and memory, warding off conditions such as depression and Alzheimer's. Crossword puzzles and Sudokus also help to keep your mind sharp as you age. Cost: Minimal.

Volunteering Offering your time and talent is a wonderful way to spend your retirement and give back to the community. Whether with a national organization or a local food bank, volunteers are always needed and always welcome. You also may want to consider tutoring or lecturing in your area of expertise, or doing odd jobs for folks who don't have the financial means to pay contractors. Cost: Nothing. Bonus: You'll be helping where help is needed the most.

The Bottom Line Retirement doesn't mean you have to stay still, and you don't have to break the bank to have fun and keep busy. Be sure to stay mentally and physically active in order to remain healthy and energetic after your working years are over.
