Nebraska's athletic trainer already busy with injuries
The Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb. - If you're a Nebraska football fan, athletic trainer Doak Ostergard says you don't want to know anything about him.
But if fans knew more about him, they probably would want to give Ostergard a pat on the back or a big hug. As the man who handles the Cornhuskers' injury prevention and rehabilitation, Ostergard has had an increasingly busy workload for the first three weeks of the season.
There were the damaged knees of running back DeAngelo Evans, safety Clint Finley and quarterback Bobby Newcombe. There were the ankle sprains of defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch and defensive tackle Jason Wiltz.

"We seem to be pulling out of our nosedive now," Ostergard said. "We made it out of the Cal game with no major injuries."
That bodies well for the 'Huskers as they take advantage of an open date to prepare for ninth-ranked Washington. Ostergard is working to make sure No. 3 Nebraska is close to full strength for the Sept. 26 showdown.

visited for taping or treatment. He said one of the harder things about his job was passing the news about an injured player to the coaching staff.
"They really didn't worry too much about it," Evans said. "They knew how to treat it when it came up."
Ostergard said he enjoyed getting to know many of the athletes who
"Sometimes I'm the whipping boy," Ostergard said. "Somehow, I'm supposed to prevent all the injuries."
A native of Gothenburg, Ostergard grew up hoping to coach basketball.
In his spare time, he dabbles as an inventor. Two certificates from the U.S. Patent Office hang on his office wall: one for an ankle exerciser, another for a shoulder harness.
"I started athletic training to give me an edge in becoming a basketball coach, but sooner or later you've got to do one or the other," he said.

Nike's well-known swoosh reduced
Shoe logo shrinks but won't vanish spokesman says
The Associated Press
PORTLAND, Ore. — The Nike swoosh, one of the world's most recognized corporate symbols, is being downsized.
After a year in which the sneaker giant posted earnings losses and was criticized for its overseas labor practices, Nike has removed the symbol from its corporate logo, advertising and letterhead —
replacing it with a lowercase "nike."
"We felt that having the swoosh be the ID for everything we do is probably too much pressure on that symbol," Nike spokesman Lee Weinstein said.
Although Nike's shoe designers have started to shrink the swoosh to a fraction of its former size, company officials insist the comet-like symbol isn't being retired. It will continue to grace uniforms, equipment and apparel.
"The swoosh always has been and always will be on our product," Weinstein said. "We are not retiring the swoosh."
Officials say they would be remiss to entirely set aside the swoosh.
"Wefelt that having the swoosh be the ID for everything we do is probably too much pressure on that symbol."
which by Nike's own research is recognized by 97 percent of the American public.
"It is the swoosh that has brought us to prominence, and it isn't going away," said Gordon Thompson, Nike's vice president of design.
Created by Portland State University student Caroline Davidson in 1971, the symbol represents the wing of the Greek goddess Nike. She

received $35 for the design at the time, although the company has since repaid her with stock.
The swoosh's lower profile is only the latest change for the once high-flying company, which saw its operating profits decrease 37 percent in the past fiscal year. Earlier this year, the company set aside its "Just Do it" slogan for the more proactive message "I Can."
