Rebecca Peacock doesn't clean houses, cut hair, write wills or run support groups, but she knows people who do. As the first cancer patient navigator to work with Howard County General Hospital, Peacock's job is to be a conduit for cancer patients to gain access to a variety of support services in the community, but which the patient might not know how to find. Many people are "overwhelmed at the point of diagnosis," said Mary Catherine Cochran, director of the hospital's Claudia Mayer Cancer Resource Center, where Peacock is based.

The Pasadena Chargers, an 8-and-under, 80-pound team, held their own in a scrimmage last weekend against a team from Prince George's County. Though some players were smaller than their opponents, the Chargers matched up better physically, thanks to changes the Anne Arundel Youth Football Association has made for this season. The association, which includes 21 programs and nearly 6,000 players, raised the weight limits for each division by five pounds and opened the door for teams with no weight limits for middle school students and high school freshmen and sophomores.

Forget the triple axel, the layback spiral or any fancy footwork. From now on, it's the "Galloping Peacock" for Kimmie Meissner. "I'm incorporating it into my program next season, definitely," said the U.S. women's figure skating champion, her slender arms gracefully undulating in a dead-on impression of actor Jon Heder's signature move in Blades of Glory. "The audience will go crazy when they see it." It obviously impressed Meissner, who also thought the movie was pretty good, too, giving it four skates out of a possible five.

The Anne Arundel Youth Football Association, with its 4,000 young players, will be well represented at a meeting next week to expand Maryland's state youth football tournament. Rick Peacock, association president, was a force in getting the first state tournament off the ground last fall and helped organize the Feb. 10 meeting at the Baltimore Ravens training facility. Nineteen leagues are scheduled to be represented at this meeting, the first of its kind in the United States, said Peacock, who also works for USA Football.

Last week it was Lewis Clinch, Georgia Tech's third-leading scorer. Yesterday, starting forward Zach Peacock was suspended. The Yellow Jackets (11-4, 0-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) have had some unexpected setbacks heading into tonight's 7 o'clock ESPN game against No. 11 Duke (13-2, 0-1). Clinch was suspended Friday for the rest of the season for academic reasons. Peacock, a freshman, was ejected from Saturday's 75-74 loss at Clemson. Game officials deemed his flagrant foul "an act of fighting," which results in an automatic suspension by the NCAA.
