even when theres no extreme pain."

ALBANY, N. Peyton Hillis Giants Jersey .Y. -- Oneida Indian officials who oppose the Redskins nickname as a
slur will meet with NFL officials next week in New York City, a tribe
spokesman said Friday.
The meeting agreed to by NFL officials earlier this month is scheduled
for Wednesday in New York City, Oneida Indian Nation spokesman Brett
Stagnitti told The Associated Press.
The upstate New York tribe and its leader Ray Halbritter became
prominent critics of the teams name after funding a "Change the Mascot"
radio ad campaign and a symposium in Washington on the harmful effects
of the nickname.
Halbritter, whose tribe runs a large casino resort in Verona in central
New York, says the name is degrading and has devastating effects,
especially on younger Indians.
The tribe began pushing for a name change recently as the Washington
Redskins faced fresh waves of criticism over their nickname. Even
President Barack Obama weighed in, saying recently he would "think about
changing" the name if he owned the team.
NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said senior league executives will attend
next weeks meeting, but he didnt know if Commissioner Roger Goodell will
be among them.
Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder has said he will never change the
teams name and Goodell has said that it is ultimately Snyders call.
In a letter to season-ticket holders this month, Snyder said he
respected the feelings of those offended by the name, but wrote "I hope
such individuals also try to respect what the name means, not only for
all of us in the extended Washington Redskins family, but among Native
Americans too."

Dodgers on Friday.TORONTO -- Casey Janssen doesnt have a date circled on
his calendar for his return to the Toronto Blue Jays lineup.
The Toronto closer is dealing with a left abdominal/lower back problem
that sent him to the disabled list March 30, the eve of the Jays season
opener.
"Its just a day-by-day thing," Janssen said Saturday of his return.
He says he plans to push as hard as he can go, but does not want to set a
rigid timeline that might lead to disappointment -- or headlines.
"We dont want to get ahead of ourselves," he explained. "We dont want to
have dates where either I or you (media) guys or anyone else wants to
have as a deadline or a certain date, where if I dont make it that day
then its breaking news or something like that."
Coming after a pre-season that saw him pitch just three innings as he
protected his shoulder, it all means that Janssen is a long way off from
where he hoped to be.
"Im starting to trust it a lot more," he said of the problem oblique
muscle. "Im starting to be a lot more active on it. The recovery is
quicker, I guess. If Im active on it, within a few hours it (the
discomfort) is probably gone. You wake up with a fresh start every day
which is nice.
"Ive just got to continue to progress. The further we get away from that
Montreal date, the healthier its going to get."
The Montreal date was the late March finale to the Toronto pre-season.
Janssen felt something as he was warming up to go in against the New
York Mets, but didnt think it was anything moree than a "tight
something. Mario Manningham Giants Jersey. "
"Never did I imagine Id be sitting here in late April having not thrown a
pitch," he said.
The days after, however, he knew it was something more than tightness.
Janssen is slated to throw a bullpen session Sunday, with another
planned a few days later. A rehab assignment in the minors will follow.
He has already had one of those shut down mid-month when it was
determined he needed further rest.
"I cant wait to throw (the bullpen session), Im excited," he said.
"Hopefully theres no looking back."
As frustrated as he is by the inactivity, the 32-year-old right-hander
understands patience is needed.
"Being in the position where I pitch in a game, youve got to be good,"
he said. "You dont want to let the team down by figuring it out up here.
"So I want to be clicking once I get up here ... At the end of the day,
my arms got to be able to bounce back, do the things Im asked to do here
and then also have my side tested enough where, the same thing, Im not
getting special treatment when Im ready."
Janssen, who converted 34-of-36 save opportunities last season. says he
only feels the injury occasionally in his day-to-day life. But given the
importance of the bodys trunk to throwing, it is like Kryptonite to a
pitcher.
"Theres no injury thats fun," he said. "This one seems to take lot more
time, even when theres no extreme pain."
Sergio Santos has assumed the role of closer in Janssens absence.
