hey everyone,

In america there have been 3 high profile deaths of professional american 
football players due to heat stroke/exhaustion.  The temperatures related to 
these deaths weren't even that excessive: 77 F and 86 F.
The newsletter article linked below is worth a read. I know we all know 
this, but it's good to be reminded.

Rebecca
