Emily Hughes - Saluted by Town of North Hempstead
Sorry for this ultra blurry photo - it’s hard taking a photo while driving!
Emily is the sister of Sarah Hughes, who, in turn, is also a cousin of radio shock jock Greg “Opie” Hughes; host of XM’s the Opie and Anthony show. They’re from Great Neck North - the rivals of Great Neck South, where I went.
Wow, the wikipedia entry for Sarah has some more interesting info:
Before the 2002 Olympics, her parents, both Cornell University alumni, contacted James Maas, one of their former professors at Cornell, author of Power Sleep and noted sleep psychologist. During their meeting, Maas learned of their daughter Sarah and her training regimen. He suggested that, in order to improve her skating, for two weeks, she should sleep nine hours a night, every night, even if this meant training less. As Maas recounts every year for his Psychology 101 class, her skating abilities noticably improved within two weeks. Convinced, Hughes continued this sleeping regimen throughout her training period. Maas cites Hughes as one of his examples of why sleeping is very important.
Sleep is important!

That was wierd! I had some eye irritation before I went to your site, and I actually thought that my eye was screwed when I saw that picture… BTW Thank you VERY much for the WLM invitation, you are now linked (without the stupid nofollow thing) from my site.
