2. Dorothy Hamill -- Skating
   Figure skater Dorothy Hamill captivated the world when she won a gold medal as a 19-year-old at the 1976 Winter Olympic Games in Innsbruck, Austria, and later went on to earn the World Championship title in Gothenburg, Sweden. She has worked for years with such charities as the International Special Olympics and March of Dimes.
3. Dorothy Hamill -- Skating Life

4. Brand New
   Formed on Long Island, NY, Brand New appeared on the punk-pop scene in 2000. Consisting of drummer Brian Lane, vocalist/guitarist Jesse Lacey, bassist Garrett Tierney, and guitarist Vin Accardi, the band began making a name for itself on the local scene with a self-released four-song demo and shows with bands like Midtown and Glassjaw. In 2001, they issued their first record, Your Favorite Weapon, on Triple Crown, produced by friend Mike Sapone. Lacey's clever and cutting lyrics sprinkled the album, which produced the semi-hit "Jude Law and a Semester Abroad," and more touring with Taking Back Sunday and Finch followed. Proving to be more than just another punk-pop band, the group made something of a stylistic leap with Deja Entendu, a decidedly matured follow-up, recorded with Steve Haigler (Pixies, Blake Babies) and released in summer 2003 to rave reviews from critics and fans alike. Music videos for "The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows" and "Sic Transit Gloria...Glory Fades" found constant airplay on MTV, while earning Brand New slots with New Found Glory, Good Charlotte, Dashboard Confessional, and blink-182.
5. Michael York -- New York
   Michael Clayton (GEORGE CLOONEY) is an in-house fixer at one of the largest corporate law firms in New York. A former criminal prosecutor, Clayton takes care of Kenner, Bach & Ledeen s dirtiest work at the behest of the firm s co-founder Marty Bach (SYDNEY POLLACK). Though burned out and hardly content with his job as a fixer, his divorce, a failed business venture and mounting debt have left Clayton inextricably tied to the firm. At U/North, meanwhile, the career of litigator Karen Crowder (TILDA SWINTON) rests on the multi-million dollar settlement of a class action suit that Clayton s firm is leading to a seemingly successful conclusion. But when Kenner Bach s brilliant and guilt-ridden attorney Arthur Edens (TOM WILKINSON) sabotages the U/North case, Clayton faces the biggest challenge of his career and his life
6. New Haven Ravens -- Yale Field
   Like other cities in 1950s, New Haven was beginning to suffer from a perceived exodus of middle-class workers and the development of slums as the population grew. In 1954, then-mayor Richard C. Lee attempted to stem the tide with one of the earliest major urban renewal projects. Certain sections of Downtown New Haven were destroyed and rebuilt with new office towers, a hotel, and large shopping complexes. Other parts of the city were affected by the construction of Interstate 95 along the Long Wharf section, Interstate 91 and the Oak Street Connector. The Oak Street Connector (Route 34), running between downtown and The Hill neighborhood, was originally intended to run to the western suburbs of the city but was only partially completed; the remaining section is a strip of open fields.
7. Injuries -- Pain
   Immobilization is a common treatment for sports injuries that may be done immediately by a trainer or paramedic. Immobilization involves reducing movement in the area to prevent further damage. By enabling the blood supply to flow more directly to the injury (or the site of surgery to repair damage from an injury), immobilization reduces pain, swelling, and muscle spasm and helps the healing process begin. Following are some devices used for immobilization:
8. Wayne Gretzky Hockey -- Team Canada
   Wayne Gretzky was named the greatest player in National Hockey League history by The Hockey News in 1998. Among his accomplishments: he was the NHL's all-time leading scorer, he was named league MVP nine times and he led the Edmonton Oilers to four Stanley Cups in five years from 1984-88. Gretzky made hockey somewhat of a Hollywood fad when he was traded to Los Angeles in 1988, and he finished his career with the New York Rangers, playing his last NHL game on 18 April 1999. Later that year he was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame (the usual three-year waiting period was waived in his case), and the NHL retired his jersey number, 99, permanently throughout the league. In 2000 Gretzky joined the NHL's Phoenix Coyotes as a managing partner. Five years later, in 2005, he moved behind the bench as the team's head coach.
9. Sonja Henie -- Winter Olympics
   Sonja Henie was a Norwegian figure skating champion who went from winning gold medals in three consecutive Winter Olympics (1928, '32 and '36) to touring with an ice show and making movies in Hollywood. A skating champion since her teens, Henie is credited with transforming the sport by introducing ballet moves. The ten-time world champion turned professional after the 1936 Olympics, performing in ice shows and making successful light comedies for 20th Century Fox. In the 1940s her screen career waned, but Henie continued to draw large audiences for her Hollywood Ice Review and, as producer and star, became one of the richest women in entertainment. She retired from show business in 1960.
10. Sonja Henie
    If Sonja Henie had been “just a figure skater” she would have been impressive enough to warrant consideration as a Steamroller. And she started rolling young: Henie took to the ice at age six, and was the Norwegian national champion by the age of ten. She made her first Olympic appearance at the tender age of 11 in the 1924 Games. She skated to the side of the rink to ask for instructions from her coach several times during her performance in 1924, and she finished eighth in a field of eight. By 1928, at the age of 15, any confusion on her part had long since disappeared, and she would never again finish at the back of the pack. She won the gold that year, and then again in 1932 and 1936. Additionally, she won an astounding ten consecutive world championships beginning in 1927, a year before her first Olympic gold.
