Over at the Sports, Media, & Society blog, Marie Hardin has been paying attention to adapted sports coverage. More than a dozen vets are vying for a spot on the U.S. paralympic team and Hardin hopes that fact will give the games the media attention they deserve.

Which made me want to find out what's up with Notre Dame grad Danielle Green. You'll recall that back in May 2004 she lost her arm while serving in Iraq. From the latest I can find on her she's living in Chicago.

Now Ms. Green is an assistant sports coordinator in the board's department of sports administration and facilities management. She organizes and oversees several sports, including freshman girls' basketball.

She is also working toward a master's degree in school counseling, which she expects to earn in 2008.

She is so busy that she told her husband, Willie Byrd, a retired high school basketball coach and teacher, that he must take on more household responsibilities. "I'm doing more with one hand than most people do with two," she said.
