The Browns keep kicking away opportunities to mend fences with fans
Blog Entry:
March 22, 2013 9:14 AM | Author: KEVIN KLEPS
From a public-relations standpoint, the Browns have had much better offseasons.
Some of the criticism has been deserved (see the pursuit of Chip Kelly and almost anything involving Mike Lombardi, especially Joe Banner's
"lightning rod" comment
Some of it has been unwarranted (Jimmy Haslam
can remain heavily involved and still spend most of his time in Tennessee
The fans' reaction toward Phil Dawson's exit falls into the former category.
The criticism is very much deserved, and all Banner needs to do to understand it is write Dawson's position on any dry-erase board in the Browns' executive offices. If the team president sees "kicker" on said board (preferably in all caps), it should tell him everything he needs to know.
It has been so bad the last 14 years, the fans are irate over a kicker leaving in free agency.
True, this isn't any kicker.
Dawson was on the verge of breaking Lou Groza's franchise record for points by a kicker, he was coming off his best season (at age 37; he turned 38 on Jan. 23) and he's as classy as it gets.
But he's a kicker in a league in which 15 players made at least 86.8% of their field-goal attempts in 2012.
The Browns might not have a better kicker than Dawson in 2013, but it stands to reason they'll be able to find a competent one. Heck, they recently worked out one who goes by
They won't, however, be able to erase the fans' poor feelings, ones that stem from the realization that a team that entered the offseason with more than $47 million in salary-cap space
likely didn't even make a formal offer
to a player who was 7-for-7 on field goals of 50 yards or more last season.
Dawson instead will try to help the 49ers win a Super Bowl after agreeing to a one-year, $2.25 million contract — a drop of almost $1.6 million from his 2012 salary of $3.81 million.
The Browns still have plenty of cap space, but apparently didn't want to give $3 million or $4 million of it to a 38-year-old kicker.
On the surface, that seems completely reasonable.
But reasonable doesn't apply when your franchise has been this bad for this long — in a league that encourages parity.
The Browns can replace Phil Dawson.
If they win, and soon, Banner and Lombardi will be celebrated in this football-mad city.
Until then, it's another PR fumble for a franchise that has been so mismanaged since 1999 that a kicker chasing a championship elsewhere has given a fan base another reason to mourn.

Very thin(cheap) leather.When I saw "Genuine Leather", I thought the leather would be thicker.When my boyfriend opened the box,he liked it but I thought it would be of better quality.
Timely sent. Packaging very nice and I look forward to ordering more Dallas Cowboy items
Excellent quality. It was a gift that was very well received. Even though I don't like the cowboys!
I purchased this for my HUGE Dallas loving boyfriend who was VERY happy with this wallet. I was satisfied with the quality and it looks like it could be a very expensive item. It was a great deal and I would recommend this to any Dallas Cowboys fan or side line girlfriend looking to put a smile on her boyfriend's face when the team isn't doing so well! (:
I purchased the wallet as a gift. The person absolutely loves it. A great buy and smooth, quick transaction. Thanks!

Kennedy hopes to get back on track against Rays
Hernandez looking to prove he belongs in talent-laden rotation
With no wins to his name since June 1 and Trevor Cahill's return fast approaching, D-backs right-hander Ian Kennedy might be in need of a couple strong outings. But that's been easier said than done against the Rays lately.
Kennedy has given up five or more runs in three of his last four outings, pushing his ERA to 5.22 on the year, and he has yet to pitch more than seven innings all season. His next challenge will be taming Tampa Bay, which is 21-4 this month, on Tuesday night at Tropicana Field.
The Cubs beat up on Kennedy in his last start, scoring six runs -- only two of them earned -- on six hits. Kennedy, who didn't factor into the decision, struck out seven but needed 92 pitches to get through five innings.
"It's all about pitch execution," D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said. "He started out pretty good, but then he made some mistakes -- they hammered them. He was unable to stop it, I'm not sure why. One run is fine, but multiple runs is tough."
The D-backs' schedule is about to get pretty tough, too. After going 4-6 over a 10-game stretch against teams with sub-.500 records, Arizona is about to face teams with a winning record in 18 of its next 21 games. That starts Tuesday with the Rays, who have been hotter than anybody in baseball over the past month.
Tampa Bay will start right-hander Roberto Hernandez in the opener of this two-game series. Hernandez has been the weak link in the Rays' rotation amid this torrid stretch they're on. The Rays are 25-2 in the last 27 games started by David Price, Matt Moore, Jeremy Hellickson and Chris Archer. Price held the Red Sox to one run on two hits over 7 1/3 innings in Monday's 2-1 win.
Those four had thrown six or more innings in all but two of those starts, combining to go 21-1 with a 1.65 ERA. Hernandez, meanwhile, sits at 5-11 with a 4.92 ERA this season. With the Rays considering a four-man rotation after Wednesday's game, there might be some pressure on Hernandez.
"They've been pretty good," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "They've been pretty good. And again, Roberto, I know people have been pretty critical of him, but he's also pitched very well, too.
"The other guys, Archie, David, Matty and Helly, that's been over the top a little bit. The other part of it is [Alex Cobb] is getting well, which also bleeds into it and makes it more interesting. But it's something we're considering, but we haven't decided on that yet."
D-backs: Gibson weighing DH options
Arizona's next six games will be on the road in American League cities, meaning Gibson will get a chance to write a designated hitter into each day's lineup. Rather than set one specific player as the designated hitter for the entire road swing, it appears Gibson will use a rotation that allows some reserves to start and a few everyday players to rest a bit.
"We can get some guys in off the bench as the DH. It'll help. It should add offense to your team," Gibson said. "We have a lot of different ways we can go. I don't have my lineups made out yet, but [Jason] Kubel, [Eric] Chavez, maybe I'll give [Paul Goldschmidt] a DH day to get him off his feet. We'll put some thoughts into it."
• Cahill (right hip) is scheduled to start and throw about 80 pitches Tuesday for Triple-A Reno in Oklahoma City. He made his first Minor League rehab start Thursday in the Arizona League, and Gibson said he wasn't sure how many more outings Cahill will need before returning to the D-backs' rotation. Cahill has been on the disabled list since July 1.
Rays: Crain joins bullpen
Tampa Bay acquired reliever Jesse Crain from the White Sox on Monday. The All-Star right-hander has posted a 0.74 ERA in 38 appearances this season, but has been sidelined by a right shoulder strain since the end of June.
"We feel like when healthy, Jesse is among the best relief pitchers in the game," said general manager Andrew Friedman. "As far as prognosis, we don't really know, in that we haven't had a chance to put our hands on him. It's too early to speculate on exactly when, but again, with our training staff and everything we've learned about Jesse, we're confident he will come back and impact this team."
• Since rookie right fielder Wil Myers was called up, the Rays have gone 27-10, including 24-10 in games started by Myers. The right fielder is batting .328 with seven homers and 27 RBIs in 34 games.
Worth noting
• The last AL team to have two pitchers throw complete games and allow two hits or fewer in the same week was the 1992 Orioles (Mike Mussina and Ben McDonald). The Rays matched the feat this week with Archer and Moore.
• In five career starts against the Rays, Kennedy is 1-3 with a 6.66 ERA.

works great with airprint!!! this was the main reason I purchased... no need to install anything... just connect to wifi and its going!! also, the ink is great too!! the color cartridge is all in one! separate color cartridges are too messy and expensive... love the top loader! great printer...
This was a great purchase that arrived quickly, i like the fact that its a printer, scanner, copier, fax machine all in one and its Wi-Fi which allows me to print from my lap top and i love the fact that i can actually print from my Iphone, this is a great printer and very inexpensive.
works good , looks good and was easy to hook up,operation of unit is just like the directions lead you to believe
The printer works fine. Not being very tech savvy, I call Canon's customer service and was waled through the set up process. I'm very happy.
I love the wifi feature, It makes connecting to the pc so simple. and the fact that I can now print directly from my camera using the pic-bridge set-up. The scanner can now be used with or without the PC.
This is a good, hassle-free printer. It easily connects to different computers without any problems. I'm very happy with the quality of the printing and copying. It turns on and off quickly (I've had other printers that take forever to start up). The setup instructions are not very good, however. I wasn't sure where to put in the ink at first -- sounds silly, I know. I ended up finding better instructions online that showed you how to do the initial setup. All is well now.
Love, love, love it. So far it has been the best printer I have ever had. Will print without computer being on.
I was very happy with this printer. It works well. Though it will eat up ink if you don't adjust your printer settings to conserve ink. The replacement cartridges aren't difficult to find or overly expensive. It's worth it to by the XXL ones.
Excellent product. I would recommend it to my friends.
I've always been an HP fan but after reading the reviews I decided on this canon. I first checked toner prices and found that canon was a bit cheaper than my current HP. I broke the paper tray on my current scanner/printer so I went with the wireless for my iPad. Good buy..

Ham and Leek Tart
One of my favourite things about cooking a large ham dinner is all of the leftovers. I think that I look forward to the leftover even more than the initial dinner and I always have fun trying new dishes using the ham. I recently came across the this recipe for a ham and leek tart on Picante Cooking and I immediately knew what I would be doing with some of the leftover ham in my freezer.
This ham and leek tart is pretty simple and dead easy to make! It starts out with an all butter pie crust which you can easily make yourself or you could save some time by using a store bought one. Next up the ham and leeks are sauted, and mixed up with an egg, some cream, cheese and a touch of grainy mustard. After just 20 minutes in the oven the cheese is all melted and bubbling and golden brown and good. The ham and leek tart is amazingly tasty and all of the flavours work well together. I have to say that my tart disappeared way too quickly. :) I served the ham and leek tart with a simple arugula salad along with a glass of white wine.
Ham and Leek Tart
(makes 4 servings)Printable Recipe
1 butter pie crust
1 tablespoon oil
1 cup ham (diced)
1 tablespoon butter
2 leeks (trimmed, cleaned and white and light green parts sliced)
2 cloves garlic
1 egg
1/4 cup heavy/whipping cream (or sour cream)
1 teaspoon whole grain mustard
1 1/2 cup swiss cheese (grated)
1. Roll the pie dough out, fit it into the tart pan and trim the edges.
2. Heat the oil in a pan over medium.
3. Add the ham and saute until it starts to turn lightly golden brown, about 7-10 minutes and set aside.
4. Melt the butter in the same pan over medium heat.
5. Add the leeks and saute until tender, about 7-10 minutes.
6. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about a minute and remove from heat.
7. Mix the egg, cream and mustard.
8. Mix the ham, leeks, the egg mixture and 1 cup of the cheese and pour it into the tart shell.
9. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
10. Bake in a preheated 350F oven until the cheese has melted an the pie shell is a light golden brown, about 20 minutes.

And we light the candles.
Briefly, oh so briefly, they're quiet.
They're still.
We sing the blessings.
We sing the songs.
Even with the lure of gifts on the table, they're entranced.
But fire, though powerful, holds no magic.
Inevitably, they start moving again.
And with moving,
comes more talking.
And minute by minute, on we go.
But there's no denying that for a moment,
everything was quiet.
Everyone was still.

Mozgov Slams On Lithuania
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Du-H9S2Kx2A&feature=player_embedded#at=12]I know he does not play for the Knicks anymore but I still am a big Timofey Mozgov fan. I thought it was ludicrous that Dolan got him thrown into the Melo deal. We would have been a much more complete team the rest of the year with Mozgov in the starting 5. Playing for Russia against Lithuania and Mozgov had a monster slam. The announcers make this clip truly great. Enjoy.

Mao's and Akiko's are the ones I m rewatching so far.
Mao's and Akiko's are the ones I m rewatching so far.
Love Akiko's LP! Like the music, choreography, costume, and details of the program, it's unique!
Yuna's LP has a potential. I really like it even though it wasn't perfect. Elements are balanced and spread out, and ChSq is a highlight of this program.
Ashley's and Mao's programs look nice, too.
Last edited by naan; 12-28-2012 at 07:54 PM.
Akiko's LP- Its unique and there is a freedom to it. Gives a feeling joy.
Mao's LP- music used alot but the program is classic,and beautiful. The step sequence is wonderful.
Have to say for short programs from the ladies my favourite is Kiira's. Sadly not been too fond of the LP's from either of the russian men or women this year.
I agree. I love Adelina so I wanted to like her programs. For 2 seasons in the row I'm just not thrilled but she's still my fav Russian. Not a Ksenia fan but I loved last years short program (hated the long).
All the top Russian men's programs look the same to me. I just don't get them.
I really like both of Elene Gedevanishvili's programs. She skated her SP to potential in skate Canada but her LP has not been clean at all. I wish she could skate well at Euro (but skate badly at worlds so other countries can grab an extra spot for the Olympics)
Mao's LP! I love the transitions and linking steps. Overused music, but well interpreted. I was surprised that it was choreographed by Tarasova considering the programs she gave her while she was her coach. If she skates it clean, then IMO it will be one of the greatest LP's of all time.
Wagner has my fav for the season. I really don't tend to root for her as a skater but this program is very musical. The choreography has a definitive beginning, middle and end. That arc almost gives it a 6.0 feel that is missing nowadays.
Really liked Adelina more than the other russian girls but although she performs to the music well i cannot stand watching the whole program as the music is annoying for me. I don't usually feel that way. I agree alot of the top russian men seem similar and i don't sense their emotion or enjoy the choreography. The japanese men at Nationals i found to be far more interesting.
Without doubt Mao Asada!
I like Mao's and Kanako's. Mao's LP is the best among programs from her in recent years and I think it's the kind that suits her. Soft and gentle. (I've never thought Swan' lake by Tarasova would be like that.) Kanako's LP was astonishing too and it has potential to get better if performed well. Not considering the performance by the skater, I prefer Kanako's.
Yuna's LP was disappointing. It is really surprising because I rarely get disappointed by Yuna and David Wilson.(Actually it's the first time that I find her competitive program this boring other than exhibition programs.) Maybe it's because I had such a high expectations from them. Yuna was Yuna and her performance was great as usual but the choreography and the arrangement of music was neither sophisticated nor impressive unlike typical Wilson's programs.
ITA agree about Mao's and Yuna's programs. I was kind surprised by Yuna's program and how it was put together. I would hope they get some feedback but I doubt the program will change. Who knows maybe it will click later.
Just watched Carolina's program. Well it is a good program and I think she skated so well. I'm proud of her. However I hate Bolero for anyone but Torvill and Dean. When someone else skates to it I always can't wait til that music is over. I don't know what it is. I can watch T and D skate to it all day. I even hated when my ultimate fav Michelle skated to it. However I have to say Carolina's program for me is a much better one than my Michelle.

Mao's Swan Lake, absolutely!
thanks to the original poster for the links to these programs. I really have been in love with Ashley's and Akiko's programs all season; but to see them again just makes me smile.
This is the first time I viewed Carolina's LP to Bolero - I feel that Bolero is super hard to skate too and/or as a fan, super hard to enjoy watching someone skate to with a few notable exceptions. Of course, T/D for me are a huge exception and I still love watching their Bolero from time to time. Anyway, I was delighted to find myself really 'into' and enjoying Kostner's program - she has such lovely lines and long arms and legs with which she creates beautiful shapes. I think this music somehow forces her to really take her time with each movement and I enjoyed watching that.
Mao is lovely, of course. Off to watch some others now...
Akiko's 'O' program for me. Everything from the choreography to her very skating style fits together perfectly. She's swift and clean across the ice, yet not overwhelmingly powerful - there's a delicacy to everything she does. 'O' doesn't rely on a ton of content in the choreo to make an impression, the quality of her movement and the pacing of the program to the music is enough to make an impact.
I also really like Ashley's LP this year, it suits her to a tee. I wasn't all that entranced by her Black Swan LP last season, but her 'Samson and Delilah' program is powerful, confident and commanding, qualities she carries extremely well. I also feel that the program helps to differentiate her from the other elite ladies, her LP stands out from the programs choreographed to softer ballet/classical music (or otherwise tangos).
Lastly, wanted to throw in Makarova and Li Zijun's LPs. Makarova has amazing programs this year, I can't believe the change from last season to this season. Li Zijun's 'Sleeping Beauty' is super sweet and a total fit. I'm a big fan of programs that play up skaters' strengths and showcase their best qualities - you don't have to have the best skating skills in town or amazing interpretive ability, the program just needs to fit.
Last edited by pitterpatter; 12-31-2012 at 02:49 AM. Reason: corrected Zijun's LP name

How Many Teens Actually Smoke, Drink, or Do Drugs?
How Many Teens Actually Smoke, Drink, or Do Drugs?
It's natural to be curious about your peers—especially when it comes to things that we know can be dangerous, like alcohol and drug use. You've probably heard rumors of kids drinking beer at a party or may have a friend who smokes cigarettes.
You may wonder how many teens actually smoke, drink, or do drugs. It's a question we hear frequently from teens. During NIDA's 2011 Drug Facts Chat Day, students from the around the country asked NIDA scientists questions such as:
- "How many teens smoke every year?"
- "Has the number of people who abuse drugs increased or decreased in the past 5 years? And why?"
- "What percent of teens has tried drugs?"
- "How many kids are doing drugs?"
In December 2011, NIDA released the 2011 Monitoring the Future Study, and it seems that more teens are making better decisions when it comes to smoking and alcohol use, but not so much when it comes to using marijuana and abusing prescription drugs.
Here's a glimpse at the most recent trends in teen drug and alcohol use.
Cigarette and Alcohol Use at Historic Low
Teen smoking has declined in all three grades included in the study—grades 8, 10, and 12. Still, almost 19 percent of 12th graders reported current (past-month) cigarette use.
This decline shows that more teens realize the harm smoking does to your body and are making the decision not to start. Also, teens' attitudes about smoking have changed. They increasingly prefer to date nonsmokers and believe smoking to be a dirty habit.
Likewise, among nearly all grades, trends over the past 5 years showed significant decreases in alcohol use—including first-time use, occasional use, daily use, and binge drinking. As with smoking, this decline may be the result of more teens understanding the risk of drinking alcohol and disapproving of this behavior.
Marijuana Use Continues To Rise
Unlike cigarettes and alcohol, marijuana use is increasing. Among 12th graders, 36.4 percent reported using marijuana at least once in the past year, up from 31.5 percent 5 years ago. This accompanies a decrease in the number of 12th graders who perceive that smoking marijuana is harmful. For example, only 22.7 percent of high school seniors saw great risk in smoking marijuana occasionally, compared to 25.9 percent 5 years ago.
Of course, we know the risks: marijuana can affect memory, judgment, and perception, and it can harm a teen's developing brain.
Prescription Drug Abuse Remains Steady
Prescription drug abuse hasn't changed much since 2010. Abuse of the opioid painkiller Vicodin and the nonmedical use of Adderall and Ritalin, stimulants meant to treat ADHD, remained about the same as last year. Also, the abuse of the opioid painkiller OxyContin remained steady for the past 5 years across all 3 grades surveyed.
To drive this trend downward, NIDA recently launched PEERx, a prescription drug abuse awareness campaign that gives teens science-based information about the harmful effects of prescription drug abuse on the brain and body.
When teens understand the health risks of abusing drugs, they do it less. So, tell us, how would you convince your peers that marijuana use and prescription drug abuse are harmful?
These estimates come from the Monitoring the Future Study's national surveys of approximately 47,000 students in about 400 secondary schools each year. The survey was conducted in classrooms earlier this year. View all of the 2011 data.
smoking is bad as drugs. marijuana is bad it has more then 400 chemicals. yuck
smoking is bad so is drugs. marijuana is bad it has more then 400 chemicals. yuck
A coommon nickname for marijuana is cookies or feeding the turrtles!
@tizzlebizzle, Says an enthusiastic pot smoker.
This in definitely incorrect, the people who participated in the survey definitely lied. As a 10th grader myself I can tell you for sure that the amount of people smoking cigarettes, drinking, abusing prescription drugs or smoking marijuana is much higher. I know hundreds of people who do all of the above, if not more. I refuse to do any of these things, but a lot of my good friends to and it makes me extremely angry. These things are a huge problem and they're getting worse, not better and kids are doing them at younger and younger ages now. I got to a private school that has a good reputation but almost all of the people in the high school do every one of these things in this article. There are even middle schoolers doing these things as young as 6th grade. People find ways around the rules and have more creative ways of getting high such as weed brownies, that's probably the most inconspicuous way they do it.
I predict that about one-third of all the teens either do drugs, smoke, or drink. These are really bad for your body especially if you do more than one of these at once. Each one can lead to your death. Whether its drinking and driving, increasing your chance of lung cancer by smoking, or an overdose on drugs leading to a heart attack. Nothing good comes out of doing the following above. I highly recommend that teens do not do any of these horrible things.
I don't understand why so many teens do drugs. It is an unhealthy habit and needs to be stopped. Teens don't need to have to do drugs at such a young age because it affects the way you learn. I bet tons of kids loose control due to drugs and end up ruining their life at such a young age. I'm surprised the rate of teens doing drugs isn't higher. Such a shame.
@Ella Thanks for your comment – lots of issues going on here. Most importantly, you are right to be concerned about synthetic marijuana, molly and bath salts – we know very little about them, but what we have seen so far is that they can be VERY dangerous, even deadly. Even with very small doses. Despite what some are being told, these are NOT safe alternatives to other drugs.
Now to marijuana. There is substantial evidence that marijuana can cause harm. You may have no problems that you know of now, but just like cigarette smoke, the toxic effects can build in the body and may take a long time to show up – in others, it may take less time. What kinds of effects and how soon they occur may be different for each person.
Most people who are smart want to stay smart and not introduce foreign substances into their brains. Yes, some components of marijuana have been found to have medicinal value – and there are FDA-approved medicines that are available, with more on the way. But medical marijuana is for people who are sick, such as patients with cancer or AIDS who suffer from nausea or lack of appetite. Be careful about information you get from the internet – it's sometimes hard to know what's true and what's not.
@anonymuous Responsible use is important, but in teens—with brains still developing—there really is no such thing. Drinking and smoking marijuana can create negative effects that multiply with how much, how often, and how long you smoke. There are many safer and healthier alternatives that you can use to relax and unwind. You do make an interesting point – it would be very useful to have more information related to when, where and how much students are using alcohol and drugs. The Monitoring the Future survey (of 47,000 teens in 400+ schools) does report numbers for those who use alcohol or marijuana daily and those who use it monthly or yearly. But it doesn't provide the data you mention, which would be good to know.
Where do people do drugs though? It's part of my homework to research about "Teenage Drug Abuse" so I need to know where they do drugs. ???
@Anonymous ;D Our website for teens has lots of resources that can help you with your research. See http://teens.drugabuse.gov/.
Everybody for and against the use of marijuana should watch the movie "The Union" its very revealing on why people in our society "think" its bad. When really its completely harmless. There have been no recorded deaths from any medical institution from pot ever! I really hope that one day our society realizes that alcohol, ciggarettes and most prescription drugs should be illeagalized instead of marijuana. And to say that its addictive is wrong because people who get caught with it get the option to go " addictive clinics" or rehab, or prison, so they choose rehab which makes it seem addictive. Right now our society is corrupted and it desperately needs to change.
Thank You
There are even middle schoolers doing these things as young as 6th grade. People find ways around the rules and have more creative ways of getting high [removed, per guidelines], that's probably the most inconspicuous way they do it. [commercial link removed, per guidelines]
Okay smoking is bad, but marijuana is a WHOLE other issue. Of course it's not good but its about as bad as caffeine. I'm a senior myself and I can tell you I know more truth about weed then a lot of people because I've researched it multiple times and I'm around people who smoke weed all the time. They are not bad kids, nor do they have any significant health problems. Anything you breathe other than air damages the brain so you can say its like pollution. Compared to cigs, weed does NOT cause cancer. I actually shadowed a top oncologist and got my facts. There are absolutely no deaths from weed. So please, before you guys bad talk marijuana, do the research. People go on about how bad it is, and it really isn't. I'm not encouraging it, but I do think it's unnecessary to misguide people about this "drug" by saying how "bad" it is.
First—and sorry for the broken record—people react differently to marijuana. Some people do experience side effects or addiction. Second, true that cigarettes have definitely been shown to cause cancer, BUT the jury is out on marijuana. In fact, you may have heard of the study that just came out (Sept 2012) showing a potential link between marijuana and testicular cancer. Here's a news story that highlights the findings: "Dude, it's your junk! Pot linked to testicular cancer" http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/48969102/ns/health-mens_health/t/dude-its-yo....
Many more studies need to be done before we can say that there definitely is a link, much less understanding other health complications, but the evidence here does make us stop and take note.
it's just pot. jeeze people get over it. i've never done pot, but i dont have a prob with it. it help pl.
pls do sunthng tht d teen age shud leave drinkng cigarette i cnt cause i am small bt if u cn do sumthng or jus help everybody vho all pple u may knw plsssss cause d teen age circle is destroyng nwadays
Marijuana does kill, because people do stupid stuff while high.
@ bbond and amymullis, first of all, i researched facts about marijuana long term usage, and the toxins in it are actually more concentrated than that of cigarettes, the only reason it's difficult to determine the effects of Marijuana is because people who smoke it usually smoke cigarettes as well. So studying the effects of pot is almost impossible due to this other variable out there. But there are many cases where an (only) pot smoking person can get cancer too because of the high concentration of carcinogens, theres no filter to reduce this unlike in cigarettes. And generally speaking people who smoke it, hold it in there lungs, deeper and longer to get the effects of the high but ultimately, its bad.
So anyone who [expletive deleted, per guidelines] says pot is not bad for you... you would think having common sense to not put any smoke would be better, regardless if it's pot, or cigarettes.
of'Course all drugs are bad but nobody sees that they think of it as a way to escape life ; RELAXATION : Nobody wants to admit that they are addicts because they think of it as a phase that comes and goes. I myself am a what you call a POTHEAD but i consider it as a way to escape all the drama all that stuff but it gets old. i dont want to be doing that all my life its just ....... LIFE.
I think drink, smoke and do drugs will harm teens so much. Let's stay away from them. That protect your life [commercial link removed, per guidelines]
drugs are horrible!!!you can easily die from many substances such as heroine or marajuana e.t.c.......
yeah............ drugs are....go-er.. baad yeah their bad
there brain will get damage and they will feel drunk when they drink to much of alochol
I have been using drugs since I was sixteen and im nineteen now I use methamphetamine , haroin, prescription pain killers, l.s.d, ecstasy, and I love it I feel great I don't feel like doing any thing which is awsome because I like to be lazy and drugs are not a sin and should not be a crime because most drug users have some tipe of job and all the addicts I know are good people so what's wrong with drugs absolutely nothing. Stop the drug war and decriminalize drugs.
If that is the case, you have been lucky - so far. Did you know that you can be lazy without taking drugs?"
stay away from drugs they are bad for you and they can mess up your brain
hello blogger! i am doing a heath project for school and would love your help if you could just respond to this question. "do you think kids in public schools are more exposed to drugs and alcohol then kids in privet schools? thanks for the great blog
hello blogger! i am doing a heath project for school and would love your help if you could just respond to this question. "do you think kids in public schools are more exposed to drugs and alcohol then kids in privet schools? thanks for the great blog
Great question! Unfortunately, the unexciting answer is, "it depends." There are many factors that affect the level of exposure to drugs and alcohol a student may get at school—a certain public school may have much less exposure than a particular private school. For this very reason, our main surveys don't break down their findings by public and private schools. (Check out the Monitoring the Future Survey - http://www.drugabuse.gov/related-topics/trends-statistics/monitoring-future for more information). There are many other useful resources and fun activities both on our Teen site: http://teens.drugabuse.gov/ and our main NIDA site: http://www.drugabuse.gov. Good luck on your project.
who has ever died from marijuana overdose. Oh wait no one. However you can make bad decisions while high that can lead to death.
Thanks. This helped me a lot. I think you should make an article about what the health risks are, though. If you have, I probably missed it.
Seems like a larger amout then it says. Most likely many teens lie because. Right now in 9th grade. I have 1 class in which almost everyones on drugs. Or like my friend who smoked and drinked last weekens when finding out his ex, who broke up with him 2 weeks ago, had been cheating during the relationship, and actually got a new bf. Or this other girl who tried pills 3 weeks ago and is hooked. Or in my pre-a.p. math class has many kids trying drugs.
Dude, half of the people who do drugs on here, just by typing, look so stupid. No grammar, no spelling, nothing. D for drugs is D for drama. It's just so stupid. You could do so much more with your life then get high.
i say kids do drugs because they see somebody else do it so they think there old enough to do it but your not thousands of teens die every year because of drugs parents arent caring enough to hang out with there kids then they start to hang with the wrong group then they see a hole new life style.
u know that stuff make u have brain loss and all type of things like bad teeth black gums man u dont whanna do that trust me dont naver do drugs kids it not goood
Funny. I am almost 50 and the friends I had that smoke over the years are all jobless or in dead end lives none have really done anything good with their life and my friends who don t smoke are having a ball traveling and do fun things so easy for me to see smoking takes your money and your real fun away.
Don't wait till your old to figure out being a pothead is a waste of a good time
Oh and by the way; teenagers don't do drugs because they think there "old enough". They do it cause its fun and exiting and sometimes because there life sucks.
Kids can die from driving while using marijuana, but 0 deaths in the history of the world have been recorded from marijuana use. Your intelligence is what makes kids use weed, if us parents would be more honest about the effects of marijuana then making up lies, the rate may actually drop. Kids here more facts about weed then us even, so why tell them our "facts" that are just made up instead of using real evidence. If they knew we were educated about it, they'd be more open to converse about stopping or not trying it.
Hahaaha no one has died from smoking marijuana its impossible to die from it there has been loads of investigations on it and they all said it cannot kill you
out of the 1100 kids who went to my high school i would say 5% smoked on a regular basis. during parties it probably rose to 35%. unless you never go out to parties im going to sa you have drank, lets be honest. we had drug dealers in and at our school all the time not every one smoked pot. the "stoners" were the ones who would smoke pot every day. and anyone else it would be, once again, at parties. i dont care if you smoke pot but dont tell me its not a gate way drug. out of everyone i know who smokes pot "trust me theres alot" i dont know one of them who havent done more then just pot. i also dont know one person who never smoked pot and did a drug that was harder. kids will do what kids want to do. some grow out of it others dont. smokeing is way farrther down from years ago. people dont like it as much anymore its as simple as that. but kids are always gunna drink casue its easy to get to just like smokeing pot. [expletive deleted]
Some of these comments are difficult to take in. So many people are delusional, they think that weed is bad and that it holds load if chemicals, and also you can die becuase you do silly thing, maybe in does hold a few chemicals but sure what doesn't?? I am an ex pot smoker and I can reassure you that weed is the least harmful drug on this planet, man it comes from the ground. The Hemp plant can also heal cancer, it provides humans with all the essentials which we need to live ECT-fuel,cloths,food, the list goes it........... You are talking about chemicals, what about the food we eat?? It holds many deadly chemicals. Our fruit is caked in chemicals to hold its colour. We breath is chemicals everyday, because our air is polluted by factories. Meat entails one of the worst chemicals known to the human body. Our world in which we live in is full of chemicals. Everyone is so against weed, all you do is eat sleep and relax with a smile on your face. Come on people, stop running this little plant down. Ok, it is silly to sit on your a** all day and get hi as you will never achieve anything in life. But please, stop believing that weed is bad. Get your facts right before you leave stupid comments.

Go Red for Women, an American Heart Association initiative, joined forces with actress Elizabeth Banks to help get the message out. Together they produced a short film: 'Just a Little Heart Attack.' Banks directed and starred, and almost half a million people have viewed the entertaining and informative video.
The concept is simple: many women aren't aware of heart attack symptoms and many times, ignore them because they're "too busy" to deal with it. Banks plays a Supermom who tries to ignore the obvious signs that she's suffering a heart attack. Here's a formal list of heart attack symptoms per the National Institute of Health:
- Chest pain or discomfort. This involves uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness, or pain in the center or left side of the chest that can be mild or strong. This discomfort or pain often lasts more than a few minutes or goes away and comes back.
- Upper body discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw, or upper part of the stomach.
- Shortness of breath, which may occur with or before chest discomfort.
- Nausea (feeling sick to your stomach), vomiting, light-headedness or sudden dizziness, or breaking out in a cold sweat.
Symptoms also may include sleep problems, fatigue (tiredness), and lack of energy.
***If you experience these symptoms, call 911 immediately. The sobering truth is about 1.2 million people in the U.S. suffer heart attacks each year and many die. But many more could have survived if they got help faster. Do not postpone getting medical attention if you experience these symptoms.
Heart disease affects women of all ages -- including young women in their 20s and 30s. Implementing heart-healthy habits can help reduce your chances of getting heart disease. Here are just a few ways you can help lower your risk of heart disease:
- Stop smoking: It increases your risk for heart disease, strokes, and other preventable diseases.
- Drink in moderation: if you drink too much alcohol, your blood pressure can go up and put you at risk for heart failure and a stroke.
- Know your numbers: Living a healthy life includes staying on top of your cholesterol, BMI, blood pressure and glucose numbers.
- Stay active: Not only will exercise boost your energy level, it's also excellent for your heart.
- Eat a balanced diet: Pick foods low in saturated and trans fats, cholesterol, sodium, and added sugars.
Now that you're up to speed on heart disease, help spread the word. Share the Go Red for Women video and remind your friends and family about the signs and symptoms of a heart attack -- and what to do should they experience them.

GSA looks to build up Federal Triangle South, consolidate FBI headquarters
Tuesday - 12/4/2012, 1:51pm EST
By Katie Howard
Federal News Radio
The General Services Administration is shopping ideas on how to revamp a large group of federal buildings in the Federal Triangle South area near Southwest Washington's L'Enfant Plaza, and is looking to commercial Realtors for guidance. The agency is also brainstorming how to consolidate the current Federal Bureau of Investigation's headquarters.
GSA has issued two Requests for Information (RFIs) for both development projects in the Washington, D.C., area — part of the Obama administration's effort to reduce federal real estate holdings.
The first RFI concerns the buildings within the Federal Triangle South area including the Agriculture Department's Cotton Annex, Energy Department's Forrestal Complex, Federal Aviation Administration's Orville and Wilbur Wright Buildings, and GSA's Regional Office Building.
GSA said it is aligning its vision for Federal Triangle South with the National Capital Planning Commission's Southwest EcoDistrict, which is a sustainable community that stretches from the National Mall down to the Southwest Waterfront.
The GSA project also seeks ways to reduce costs and overhaul any outdated and underutilized assets of a number of federal buildings, develop green facilities and encourage the mixed-use and improved infrastructure of government facilities.
The second RFI seeks responses from the development community on exchanging the old J. Edgar Hoover Building built in 1974 and current home of the FBI for a new, space-efficient headquarters. The building, which sits on a 2.4-million-square-foot facility, is overcrowded, according to GSA.
"GSA is aggressively working to find new and innovative ways to save money and increase efficiency," said GSA Acting Administrator Dan Tangherlini. "An exchange of the FBI headquarters not only saves money, but it also promotes efficiency by consolidating staff into a single state-of-the-art facility, shrinking the federal real estate footprint and eliminating multiple leases."
Tangherlini added that these requests will contribute to a "more sustainable neighborhood by creating opportunities for development, while at the same time saving taxpayer dollars by redeveloping outdated and underutilized properties."
The entire National Capital Region, including D.C., Maryland and Virginia, is under consideration for the agency's potentially new location. In turn, GSA points out that the J. Edgar Hoover Building, steps from the White House, is located in a prime location for other companies. The building sits on 6.7 acres of land and is zoned for office, retail, housing, mixed-use and public buildings.
All interested parties for both RFIs should submit responses by Feb. 4.

- person in the U.S. has this name View Albert Deckys on WhitePages
Meaning & Origins
From an Old French name, Albert, of Germanic (Frankish) origin, derived from adal 'noble' + berht 'bright, famous'. This was adopted by the Normans and introduced by them to England, displacing the Old English form Æþelbeorht. The name is popular in a variety of forms in Western Europe, and has been traditional in a number of European princely families. It was out of favour in England for centuries, however, and the revival of its popularity in the 19th century was largely in honour of Queen Victoria's consort, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.
