A decorated firefighter, anti-terrorism expert and head of the New York City Fire Department's Hazardous Materials Operations Unit, Battalion Chief John "Jack" Fanning spent more than 30 years responding to blazes, emergencies and disasters.
When a truck bomb exploded at the World Trade Center in 1993, the West Hempstead resident was among the first firefighters to respond. In 1995, he and other members of New York City's Urban Search and Rescue Team were deployed to Oklahoma City after the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah federal building and to Puerto Rico after Hurricane Marilyn. He also represented the city on the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Incident Support Team at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta.
Fanning was supervising the first firefighters responding to the Sept. 11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center when family members say they believe he died while trying to save others inside the towers. He was 54.

Enjoy your day of giving thanks for all that is important to you. And give thanks for all the things that have happened in the past (good & bad) that have shaped you into the person you are today.
The CrossFit prescription is “constantly varied, high-intensity, functional movement.” Functional movements are universal motor recruitment patterns; they are performed in a wave of contraction from core to extremity; and they are compound movements—i.e., they are multi-joint. They are natural, effective, and efficient locomotors of body and external objects. But no aspect of functional movements is more important than their capacity to move large loads over long distances, and to do so quickly. Collectively, these three attributes (load, distance, and speed) uniquely qualify functional movements for the production of high power. Intensity is defined exactly as power, and intensity is the independent variable most commonly associated with maximizing favorable adaptation to exercise. Recognizing that the breadth and depth of a program’s stimulus will determine the breadth and depth of the adaptation it elicits, our prescription of functionality and intensity is constantly varied. We believe that preparation for random physical challenges—i.e., unknown and unknowable events—is at odds with fixed, predictable, and routine regimens.
