ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- The Detroit Lions have agreed to a one-year deal with running back Kevin Smith. Smith posted a message on his Twitter account Tuesday after finding out he would be back in Detroit. The Lions signed Smith last season while running back Jahvid Best was out with a concussion and after rookie Mikel Leshoure tore his left Achilles tendon. Smith ran for a career-high 140 yards and scored a career-high three touchdowns in a November win over Carolina, two weeks after he was without a job. Detroit selected the Central Florida star in the third round of the 2008 draft and he ran for nearly 1,000 yards as a rookie. Injuries over the next two seasons prevented him from matching that production. nfl jerseys china .cas 2013 Play of the Year Showdown is the battle of the 2004 NHL entry draft. wholesale nfl jerseys .

Jamie PiekarzCarrying the torch: Berwick-upon-Tweed, 11:34 a.m. (4:34 p.m. BST) There are two more schools in Ghana now than there were before Piekarz started helping to coordinate volunteer builders.  The initiative is one of many Piekarz has become involved with in her extensive work with impoverished women and children in communities across the globe.  She has worked with non-profit organizations in developing countries like Mali and Tanzania, as well as Ghana. While in Mali, she lived with women who were forced to mine gold to provide for their families, her attempt to connect with the people she called “the poorest of the poor.” “You leave your children in the village and hope someone will provide for them. You walk kilometers and kilometers and you end up working at the bottom of a hole in a gold mine,” Piekarz told CTVOlympics.ca in a Toronto interview earlier this month. “It was the most terrible and upsetting thing I’ve ever seen. “I’ll never know what it’s like, but I’ve seen it.” Kunaal JagtianeyCarrying the torch: Loanhead, 4:33 a.m. (9:33 a.m. BST) Since coming to Toronto from Kuwait in 2003, Jagitaney has become a passionate volunteer for Students Assistance in North Toronto for Seniors (SAINTS), a senior citizens’ assistance agency.A huge fan of the Olympic Games, Jagtianey recalls watching the Athens 2004 Games while sick on a visit in Kuwait. He had a fever of over 101 degrees, but remembers watching most of the Games, partially “because there’s not much good cable in Kuwait.”  “I was at home when they called me and I just started jumping up and down, I was really happy,” said Jagtianey. “Then a couple seconds later I was like, ‘Oh, this is really terrifying,’ but in a good way. And then I called everyone I knew.” Jagitaney admitted that part of that terror comes from being nervous that he’ll drop the Olympic Torch, or accidentally light his hair on fire. “I’m mainly going to be focusing on not lighting myself on fire, keeping it above my head,” said Jagitaney. “I might do the sprinkler [dance move] walking with it. I don’t know, it’ll be a very last-minute thing.  I’m just going to go off instinct, which is what I mostly do in my life anyway.” Joel LightmanCarrying the torch: Penicuik, 5:47 a.m. (10:447 a.dddddddddddd. BST) Lightman has used his job as a professional musician as a platform for helping people in need.  Last year, Lightman got Roger Waters’s permission to rewrite Pink Floyd’s iconic song “The Wall” into an anthem in support of Iranian youth. Lightman and his band donated the proceeds from the song (which got over two million hits on YouTube) to Haystack, a software program that allows Iranians to go online without the government seeing.  “I play in a band with two Iranians who came over here when they were eight, and listening to their stories really made me want to do something,” said Lightman. “They needed a rallying point.” Lightman has also put on concerts at Massey Hall to benefit SOS Children’s Villages, an international charity providing care for orphans and children in need. “When I’m running with the torch, that’s going to be foremost in my mind – that I’ve done something that I would have been happy with no reward for.” Dr. Lynn Marie WilsonCarrying the torch: Duns, 10:29 a.m. (3:29 p.m. BST) Wilson has balanced a variety of positions in the medical field in her quest to advance health care in Canada and in developing communities abroad.
