Word is spreading about a so-called ICE entry for cell phones.

The cell phone is becoming an important source of information for emergency personnel after a British paramedic came up with the idea of asking users to input an entry into their phone book called ICE (for "in case of emergency"). That acronym refers to the name and phone numbers of the person who should be called if something has happened to you. The London terror attacks gave the campaign plenty of exposure, and now U.S. paramedics want to encourage ICE. Word is spreading in the U.S. via news reports and word of mouth.



SIMPLE TIPS FOR RUNNERS IN TRAINING

The Honolulu Marathon is three months away. Here are training tips from this month's issue of Runner's World:

  • If something hurts for two consecutive days while running, take two days off. If the pain persists, see a doctor.

  • Don't eat or drink anything new before or during a race or hard workout.

  • Build up to at least one 20-miler before the marathon.

  • Run facing traffic. It's better to watch cars approaching.

    — Catherine Toth
