A few thoughts from the week in sports ...
The Cleveland Browns' dizzying array of draft trades and picks on Thursday were actually crazier than fiction.
They wouldn't have had a homeless guy in the movie "Draft Day" based on a fictitious Browns team suggest to the owner who they should pick. Who would believe that could happen?
However, Cleveland owner Jimmy Haslam actually told ESPN that a homeless guy looked up at him and said, "Draft (Johnny) Manziel."
In one of the most anticipated Browns' drafts ever, the team passed on Johnny Football once -- when it traded down from No. 4 to 9, then traded up to No. 8 and picked Oklahoma State cornerback Justin Gilbert.
The Browns then moved up from No. 26 to 22 after another trade. The NFL and its fans collectively had their hearts stop momentarily when commissioner Roger Goodell said, "The Browns select Johnny Manziel, quarterback from Texas A&M."
One of the most talked about and divisive football players ever to enter the NFL Draft is coming to Cleveland.
As we watched the draft on our office TV while putting out the Friday sports section, my first thought was shock that Manziel would be joining the Browns.
After a few seconds, I yelled out, "The circus is coming to town."
For a variety of reasons, the national media has its athletes they just can't seem to get enough of, whether it's warranted or not. In recent years, it's been people like LeBron James, Tiger Woods, Derek Jeter, Danica Patrick, Tim Tebow and now Johnny Football is near the top of the list.
Never has a 22nd overall draft pick stolen the show like Manziel did Thursday. ESPN spent a huge chunk of its "SportsCenter" show that night leading with Manziel coverage. In almost "oh-by-the-way fashion," SportsCenter briefly mentioned that linebacker Jadeveon Clowney from South Carolina was drafted first overall by Texans.
Manziel, who hangs out with national celebrities such as LeBron and rapper Drake, reportedly partied late into the night. He was then in Cleveland to meet with local reporters Friday.
A Cleveland TV station reported that 31 of the questions at the introductory Berea press conference from media members were addressed to Manziel -- the second player the Browns drafted. Just 10 went to their top overall pick, with four of those asking Gilbert to comment on Manziel.
Johnny Football won the Heisman Trophy as a red-shirt freshman and was outstanding again last year as a sophomore. In two seasons, he racked up 7,820 yards passing, 2,169 rushing and 93 total TDs in the rugged SEC.
But at just 5-foot-11 3/4 and 207 pounds, naysayers believe Manziel's scrambling, ad-lib style won't fly in the NFL. He's also had lots of off-the-field troubles and critics believe he focuses more on partying than preparing to play football
Supporters believe his intangibles will continue to make Manziel successful in the NFL. Manziel had the biggest hands of any quarterback at the combine, so that will help him grip the ball in cold-weather AFC North games, he has above average arm strength and runs a 4.6 time in the 40.
Browns fans I've talked to or read commenting on social media are extremely divided on the team taking Manziel. They either seem to love it or hate it, with not much middle ground.
Manziel brings big excitement and hope to Cleveland with his upside, but it's a huge risk for the Browns to take him.
I think the gamble was worth it at No. 22 and believe Manziel's intangibles will allow him to make a big impact. He'll be a lot better than the Browns' last two 22nd overall picks who also played quarterback: Brady Quinn and Brandon Weeden.
Do I see the playoffs or the even the Super Bowl for Manziel? That would be a stretch for this little big man, but Manziel just might have the swagger to pull off some postseason wins -- if he can stay healthy.
However, besides being unproven as a pocket passer, another problem could be lack of wide receivers for the Browns.
The excitement of the Manziel pick was deflated by Friday night when it was reported that All-Pro wide receiver Josh Gordon had allegedly failed a third drug test and could miss the entire 2014 season. What a disappointment and huge blow to the Browns that Gordon appears to place a higher importance on his drug habit than a career as a pro athlete and teammate.
Just what kind of pro Manziel becomes will be determined to a large degree by what kind of teammate he is -- how dedicated he is in preparing to win.
Haslam wanted to create a buzz and the Browns have certainly done that. Love the pick or hate it, when Manziel gets his chance to play -- he'll likely back up Brian Hoyer to open the season -- football fans everywhere will be watching.
TRIWAY STUDENTS WEIGH IN ON MANZIEL -- I was happy to help out once again as a speaker at Triway Junior High's Career Day on Friday.
The seventh-graders I spoke to in a number of small groups were given their chance to be sports writers for a day. I put them on the spot in a survey and asked them to predict how Manziel will perform for the Browns and here are the results of 114 participants: He'll get them to the playoffs (38 percent); Don't care (32 percent); Just like 20 starting QBs before him since 1999, it won't end well (21 percent); He'll win a Super Bowl (5 percent); He'll get them to Super Bowl (4 percent).
I'm an optimist and will predict Manziel will get the Browns to the playoffs one day, but can't see him going all the way.
Here are a few of the comments from the Triway seventh-graders:
n "He's the next Geno Smith -- good in college, but stinks in NFL." -- Chase Chargualaf
n "I think the Browns got a steal taking him. I say he takes MVP. He's a great talent ... his arm is ridiculously accurate." -- Chance Lomas
n "I think he'll win the Super Bowl. He's a good player." -- Savannah Cowart
n "I think Johnny Manziel is a good football player, but the Browns mess up too many players and chances they have to win." -- Kelsie McFadden
n "Knowing the Browns' luck, Mr. Football will probably wind up hurting himself." -- Kelly Starkey
WEST HOLMES GIRLS RANKED 57th IN NATION -- Max Preps and the Army National Guard honored the West Holmes girls basketball team for being ranked 57th in the nation out of more than 20,000 teams for the 2013-14 season during a ceremony at the school recently.
West Holmes won the Div. II state title after 62-45 win over Kettering Alter on March 15 to finish the season 29-0.
"It's a tremendous honor," said West Holmes coach Lisa Patterson, whose team was led by senior standouts Laina Snyder, Emily Molnar and Paiten Strother. "We're obviously very pleased to finish at the top in Ohio and to get nationally recognized by MaxPreps, we're both thrilled and honored."
Ohio Staff Sergeant Steven Nelisse presented Patterson and the team with the Army National Guard national ranking trophy at a school assembly. The team also received a banner for its accomplishments.
MaxPreps uses a sophisticated computer program to determine team rank for the Tour of Champions.
PARTING SHOTS -- Really lost in all the talk about Manziel is that the Browns added arguably the best shutdown corner in the draft in Gilbert.
Joe Haden and Gilbert could wind up being the team's best corners since Hanford Dixon and Frank Minnifield in the 1980s.
n The postseason will arrive for area spring sports teams this week. It will be an exciting week as sectional games begin, but baseball coaches also will have to juggle pitching rotations as tight league races are decided in the OCC and WCAL (weather permitting, of course).
Do you throw your aces in the sectional or big league game? Coaches will be weighing lots of factors to make those decisions -- including at Wooster and Dalton, which control their own destiny in league races.
Softball, tennis and lacrosse tournament action will also get under way, as well as league track meets.
n Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there! Here's hoping you get treated to special days as "thank yous" for all you do.

Between 1981 and 1988 Sottsass and a small international group of like-minded designers who called themselves Memphis, created nonconformist furniture. The totemic "Carleton" room divider is an outstanding example of his Memphis designs. Although intended for a luxury market and of fine workmanship, it is made of cheap plastic laminates rather than fine woods. The vivid colors and seemingly random interplay of solids and voids suggest avant-garde painting and sculpture. Yet, typical of Sottsass, underlying the surface brilliance is an entirely logical structural system, of real and implied equilateral triangles.

Have you taken opiate painkillers only to find that your pain has gotten worse? Opioid Induced Hyperalgesia, or OIH, occurs when the use of opioids reduces the pain threshold and can manifest as opioid tolerance. Pain can in fact become worse despite an increase in dose or escalation of use. The physiology behind this condition is not clearly understood and many medical personnel were initially skeptical of its origin. This paradoxical phenomenon poses a challenge for doctors, pain management specialists, anesthesiologists and other medical professionals trying to treat patients. It's often hard for people to wrap their heads around the idea that medication prescribed to relieve pain is having the opposite effect. It creates an issue for doctors who may not be sure whether an increase in pain is related to hyperalgesia or if the injury, disease or condition has worsened.
Chronic pain conditions are very common and provide quite a challenge for the medical community. Opioids such as hydrocodone, oxycodone and morphine are often the drugs of choice for doctors and specialists treating severe acute and chronic pain resulting from a number of conditions. The use of these narcotic pain relievers can produce hyperalgesia, or opioid-induced pain sensitivity. Use can also lead to opioid tolerance, where the body becomes accustomed to the drug and no longer responds to its intended effects. Traditionally, it had been thought that a decrease of analgesic effectiveness was caused by the development of a tolerance or the progression of a disease or condition. Doctors are now coming to understand that increased pain can be caused by this opioid-induced pain sensitivity. In the case of OIH, it might make sense to increase the dosage to combat the pain, but the opposite is thought to be true. Tapering the dose may actually work to reduce pain.
Treating Opioid-Induced Hyperalgesia
Pain from OIH can be debilitating. Increasing the dose of opioid medication can be dangerous, leading to overdose and death. Once OIH is diagnosed, treatment options can include a reduction in the dose of opiates, a rotating schedule for use or the introduction of adjunct medications. This does not always work. Opioid Induced Hyperalgesia can be eliminated with a rapid detox procedure performed while patients are lightly sedated. Heightened pain sensitivity during opioid therapy is a real condition that can be treated. The Waismann Method of rapid detox can effectively rid the body of opiates in a matter of hours. Patients with persisting pain due to various conditions can then explore non-narcotic pain therapies or alternative pain management practices.

McRib as "Southern barbecue"?
6 comments:
A McRib always reminds me of an old episode of M.A.S.H., where they squeezed several cans of Spam into the shape and size of a Thanksgiving turkey.

Yeah, not only is the food crap that I wouldn't feed my dog, McDonalds has some of the worst social agendas in corporate America. I stay way away from the place. That goes for the rest of them as well.
- December 26, 2012 at 8:14 PM
Don't that take the cake?! Finally we are all united about one thing in the ongoing Southern BBQ debate that has been periodically raging on lsrebellion. Nothing like a common enemy, eh, boys? - Dutchy

As long as it's an Eastern McRib, I'm ok with it, lol.
- December 27, 2012 at 1:03 PM
What: You don't like kangaroo meat? Or is it restructured Soylent Green? With certain anti-white racists in power these days a white boy just ain't safe anymore.
- December 27, 2012 at 2:23 PM
I'm a Yankee, and I completely agree that comparing the McRib to ANY kind of Southern BBQ is an insult. While I am partial to Texas BBQ (and brisket), all Southern BBQ is darn good.
The McRib, like most McDonald's food, is McCrap.

�Be careful what you ask for, you just might get it.� We�ve all heard this cryptic warning, but it rings especially true when something you thought you really wanted comes to pass and you figure out you could actually live just fine without it.
As a young woman, I hated winter. Januarys in New Jersey seemed like an endless round of cold, blustery days with gray skies and temperatures hovering in the teens and twenties most days. Bundling three small kids up to play in the snow could easily take an hour.
There was long underwear, socks, snow boots, boot liners, a regular outfit, the snowsuit on top of it, mittens, hats and a warm scarf � all times three. By the time I got them out the door, I needed a break myself. Of course, as soon as I got myself a hot cup of tea and went to the window to check up on them, someone was usually cold enough to want to come back in again.
Round one ended with three little faces pressed against the storm door, begging to come in (even though they�d only been out for 20 minutes), then the whole process began again in reverse. Peeling out of wet snowsuits was always much quicker than suiting up, but finding a place to dry soggy gloves and snowpants and bootliners was a trick in itself.
About an hour later, as soon as everyone got warmed up, a stray beam of sunlight would peek through the gray January clouds, tricking the kids into thinking it had magically gotten warmer outside. Round two: Repeat round one. After six to eight weeks of this, no one was more ready for spring than I was. I greeted the early blooming of bright yellow forsythia bushes with the adoration of an ancient Inca worshipping the sun.
Then, one day it was over. Suddenly the kids were older and no one needed Mom to tug boots on and off, tie scarves around their necks, and find stray mittens. Instead, they gathered up their ice skates, suited themselves up and breezed out the door. Winter actually began to feel like an old friend.
But spring was always the highlight of the year. Unlike the South, spring tiptoed over the landscape with shy reluctance. A friend once told me that she had spent a spring in Alabama and she�d had to be careful to watch the world around her very closely or she would have missed the whole show. In a matter of days, she said, the whole landscape bursts into bloom, and suddenly everything is green again. �Almost overnight,� she�d said with a touch of awe in her voice.
Of course I knew better. It takes the better part of a month for spring to unfurl in New Jersey. Buds tease out slowly and every flower has its own showing, first forsythias followed closely by pussy willows, then crocuses and grape hyacinths, next tulips, and my mother�s favorite, pansies. Trees unfold their leaves bit by tiny bit and for a full week their first small leaves seem like acres of green lace spread across the clear blue backdrop of an April sky.
It wasn�t until I�d moved to the South and went through a March and an April for myself that I looked around one day and realized spring had come and gone while I�d been thinking I�d better start looking for it.
Life is a funny thing. The years have a way of recalibrating a landscape. When I think now of winters past, I remember three small faces, with tiny white teeth smiling out of brilliantly red cheeks. Little fingers that were cold and wet had to be held in Mom�s big hands to warm them up. Then we�d all sip hot cocoa to warm the rest of us up too.
These days, winter evenings are filled with the quiet I once thought I wanted. Darkness comes early and swaddles the world in a chilly peacefulness. There�s more time to talk and more time to listen. There�s even time to listen to the snow falling and the quiet twinkling of the stars.
As a young woman, I thought daylight savings time was the best idea anyone had ever come up with. Who wouldn�t want to take the light that annoys you into consciousness on cold winter mornings and stick it at the end of the day, when you need it to get more work done? The only thing wrong with it was, it didn�t come soon enough.
Now, the few short months when the evening sky kisses the earth with its chilly quiet, seem painfully brief. We�ve moved daylight savings time so far forward that winter feels almost like a bothersome intruder. And for the young, it may be. It certainly was for me when I was young.
Lately, when that soft envelope of time called winter whispers across the landscape, I�ve learned to curl up with a book and a cup of tea, and listen to the earth as she tries to catch her breath and get some sleep. Most of us humans don�t want her to do that. We have important things to do and we need to get on with them. Bring on the sunshine and let�s get going.
But some of us have come to treasure the quiet, still incense of a winter sunset, the lonely scurrying of an occasional squirrel, the twinkling of stars on ice through the dark shadows of trees that still pause for a sound, winter nap before their greening.
We could learn a lot from winter if we would let it have the time it needs to speak to us, instead of hurrying through it to chase the sunlight.
Learning the lessons of winter
�Be careful what you ask for, you just might get it.� We�ve all heard this cryptic warning, but it rings especially true when something you thought you really wanted comes to pass and you figure out you could actually live just fine without it.

Bradley sweeps this week's Missouri Valley Conference women's basketball awards, as Leah Kassing and Shronda Butts led the Braves to two road victories, over Butler and Central Michigan, which were both 2011 WNIT participants. Kassing averaged a double-double (19.3 points and 10.7 rebounds), while collected season-highs of 15 points, five boards, five assists, two blocks and three assists in the Braves' win over Central Michigan. For their outstanding efforts, Kassing and Butts have been named the Missouri Valley Conference Player and Newcomer of the Week, respectively.
Leah Kassing, Sr., C, Bradley
Kassing averaged 19.3 points and 10.7 rebounds, while shooting 62.5 percent from the field in three games last week. She scored a career-high 23 points on 10-of-16 shooting and also had seven rebounds against Wisconsin-Milwaukee to open the week. Kassing collected her second double-double of the year with 13 points and 11 boards in a 50-45 win at Butler, a 2011 WNIT participant. She capped the week with 22 points and a career-high 14 rebounds in an 86-79 road win at Central Michigan, also a WNIT participant last season. Kassing hit 10-of-15 shots from the field in a career-high 33 minutes at CMU as she helped Bradley to its fourth road victory of the year and sixth straight road win dating back to last season.
Shronda Butts, Fr., G, Bradley
Butts averaged 11.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.0 steals in three games last week, helping Bradley to a pair of road victories, which were both WNIT teams last season. She started the week with a then season-best 13 points and also had three boards, two assists and a steal against Wisconsin-Milwaukee. After a seven-point, two-rebound effort in a 50-45 win at Butler, Butts had season highs of 15 points, five boards, five assists, two blocks and three steals to help Bradley to an 86-79 win at Central Michigan. She has helped the Braves to a 4-0 record in road games on the year following the win at Central Michigan.
Noteworthy - In addition to the league's player and newcomer of the week selections, several conference players had notable performances, and they include:
Sarah Nelson (CU)- Nelson continued her hot-shooting, making 11-of-17 field goals on the week, while averaging 14 points per game. She started the week with her second straight 20-point performance, scoring 21 points to lead all players in CU's 66-50 win at Wyoming. The sophomore forward also led the Jays with eight rebounds in the road win. Her six-game double-digit scoring streak came to an end against No. 3-ranked Notre Dame, as she made 3-of-4 shots from the field and finished with seven points, three rebounds, two steals and a team-leading three assists against the Irish. For the week she made 64.7 percent of her shots, averaging 14 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.5 steals per game.
Rachael Hackbarth (DU) - Hackbarth powered Drake to a 74-60 win in its lone contest last week. The senior scored 21 points on 9-of-17 shooting and pulled down five rebounds. Hackbarth also added four assists and two blocks in her 27 minutes on the floor. Her presence down low helped Drake outscore UND 26-16 in the paint.
Samantha Heck (UE) - Earning all-tournament honors in Evansville's Aces Winter Classic, junior Samantha Heck averaged 11.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, and also totaled 10 assists across the two days, piloting Evansville to its first home win of the season. In the three-game week, Heck led UE averaging 11.7 points and 7.7 boards. Against Ball State, the Auxvasse, Mo. native scored a game-high 12 points, also adding six rebounds and three assists. Heck advanced the Aces to the championship game of their invitational with 11 points, a season-high nine boards, and a career-high eight assists in UE's 63-56 win over Eastern Kentucky. Against Marshall, Heck had another stellar game, recording 12 points and eight rebounds. On the season, the 6'2 center averages a team-high 11.1 points per game.
Candace Sykes (ILS) - Sykes dominated the boards in Illinois State's win against Arkansas State, 78-50, at the ASU Classic, as she recorded a career-high 20 rebounds in the game (Dec. 2) at Wells Fargo Arena. Sykes' 20 boards put her in a fifth-place tie for rebounds in a single game. In the championships game against Arizona State (Dec. 3), Sykes led ISU with 13 points and five rebounds. Over the two-game tournament, Sykes averaged 13.5 rebounds, nine points and 3.5 steals, earning all-tournament team honors. She leads the Redbirds in rebounds (46) and steals (14) through seven games.
Shannon Thomas (INS) - Thomas averaged 18.0 points, 13.0 points and 2.5 assists for the Sycamores this past week, as ISU tallied wins at home over UT Martin and on the road over UIC. ISU fed Thomas in the paint early and often against the Skyhawks, as the senior center posted season-highs of 22 points and 17 rebounds on a 10-for-18 effort from the field. Thomas also picked three blocks, a pair of assists and one steal in ISU's home win. She fell one rebound short of another double-double at UIC, going for 14 points and nine rebounds in ISU's first road victory of the season. The Sycamores used Thomas to secure the victory, as she scored 10 of her 14 points for the game in the second half.
Casey Garrison (MSU) - Garrison led all scorers with 18 points to go with three rebounds, four assists and two steals in MSU's victory over UALR Tuesday. Garrison went 6-for-11 from the floor, 2-for-4 from long range and 4-for-4 from the charity stripe in just 28 minutes.
Katelin Oney (UNI) - Oney scored 35 points between the Panthers' two games against Southeast Missouri State and Green Bay last week. Against SEMO on Dec. 1, she had 10 points, three rebounds, and two assists in UNI's 62-42 victory. At No. 17 Green Bay on Dec. 4, Oney led the Panthers to a 13-0 lead to open the game and was 4-of-4 on three-pointers in the game's first seven minutes. She finished with a career-high 25 points on 8-of-13 shooting, including 6-of-9 from beyond the arc.
Cartaesha Maclkin (SIU) - Macklin averaged a team-best 18.0 points to go along with 5.0 rebounds and 2.0 steals per game in two games for the Salukis last week. She scored 16 points with six rebounds and three steals in a three-point loss Tuesday at Northern Illinois before tying a season-high with 20 points Saturday in an overtime loss to SIU Edwardsville. The Mayo, Fla., native scored go-ahead baskets in the final minute of regulation in both games, although the Salukis didn't pull out a win in either case. Macklin went 15-of-19 from the free throw line during the week for an average of 78.9 percent. She leads all MVC newcomers in scoring and rebounding with averages of 14.0 points and 5.3 rebounds per game.
Haleigh Lankster (WSU) - Lankster led the Shockers in scoring in both games this week, putting up a season-high 18 against Central Mihigan and 17 in a 63-43 victory over SMU. The senior pumped in 8-of-16 shots while dishing out a game-high four assists on Wednesday against the Chippewas. She then turned in her most efficient game of the year in Saturday's rout of SMY, putting in 17 points on 8-of-11 shooting. Lankster knocked down her only three-point attempt while collecting six steals plus two rebounds and an assist in only 25 minutes. The Shockers built a 36-19 halftime lead over the Mustangs as Lankster connected on all six of her shots and went in to the break with 13 points. This week's games raised Lankster's shooting percentage from .392 to .462 and her point production from 9.8 to 12.0.
Taylor Johnson (CU) - Johnson became the first freshman in school history to drain at least four three-point field goals in consecutive games when she made 4-of-7 threes at Wyoming (to follow her 4-for-10 performance against NC State). The rookie played a career-high 27 minutes at Wyoming, finishing with 12 points and three rebounds in the 66-50 win. She followed with three points against No. 3-ranked Notre Dame. For the week she averaged 7.5 points and made 5-of-10 three-pointers.
Katy Winge (UE) - Winge made a career-high eight points in Illinois State's win against Arkansas State (Dec. 2), 78-50, at the ASU Classic and brought down a career-high in rebounds with five in 15 minutes of play. In the championship game against Arizona State (Dec. 3), Winge netted eight points, tying her career-high she set the day before. The freshman guard also had two rebounds against the Sun Devils in 20 minutes.
Brittni Donaldson (UNI) - Donaldson scored 10 points in UNI's 62-42 win over Southeast Missouri State on Dec. 1. Donaldson has scored in double digits three times in her first seven career games.

Aug. 29, 2012
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. --The first individual workouts of the 2012-13 season for the Tennessee Lady Vol basketball team began Tuesday in Pratt Pavilion under first-year head coach Holly Warlick.
The Lady Vols boast six returnees and welcome five newcomers. Expected to provide leadership for the squad this season are seniors Taber Spani and Kamiko Williams, who both battled injuries last year. Williams missed half of her junior campaign due to an ACL tear last summer, while Spani spent the summer rehabbing a sore knee.
Spani and junior Meighan Simmons are the only returnees with more than 50 career starts. Also coming back this year are sophomores Cierra Burdick, Isabelle Harrison and Ariel Massengale. Simmons (2011) and Massengale (2012) were SEC All-Freshman selections, and Massengale was a Full Court Freshman All-American and member of the SEC All-Freshman Team a year ago.
Freshmen Andraya Carter, Bashaara Graves, Jasmine Jones and Nia Moore, and sophomore Jasmine Phillips round out this year's squad.
Joining this year's coaching staff are assistant coaches Kyra Elzy and Jolette Law. Elzy is a former UT player and spent the last four years at the University of Kentucky as an associate head coach and recruiting coordinator. Law comes from the University of Illinois, where she spent five seasons as the head coach. Dean Lockwood returns for his ninth season on the Lady Vol staff.
After 27 seasons as an assistant at Tennessee, when she helped the Lady Vols win eight NCAA Championships and 28 combined SEC regular season and tournament titles, Warlick is now running the program. The former UT All-American was tapped for the top spot after Pat Summitt stepped aside following a brilliant 38-year career. Summitt, who revealed a year ago that she was battling early on-set dementia, Alzheimer's type, remains with the program as head coach emeritus.
Check out the videos below to see what Warlick, Spani and Simmons had to say after the first individual workouts of the offseason.

OSU researchers say there are other valid reasons to thin forests
Thinning Northwest forests to reduce the prospects of severe wildfires isn't a good way to curb carbon emissions, according to a new study by Oregon State University scientists.
In research just published in Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, OSU scientists conclude there are high releases of carbon to selectively thin forests, which are not outweighed by the high carbon emissions expected from forest fires.
'Some researchers have suggested that various levels of tree removal are consistent with efforts to sequester carbon in forest biomass, and reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide levels,' said John Campbell, an OSU research associate in the Department of Forest Ecosystems and Society. 'That may make common sense, but it's based on unrealistic assumptions and not supported by the science.'
There may be other valid reasons to thin forests, including restoration of forest health, wildlife enhancement or public safety, the OSU scientists say, but increased carbon sequestration is not one of them.

The Next Move Is Yours, Mr. Kohl
Germany is in gridlock, but don't blame business. German industry is becoming trimmer and more competitive, thanks to cooperation from the nation's big unions. Most recently, companies have countered sky-high wage costs with a whole series of innovative, productivity-boosting labor deals. Such progress only makes Bonn's dithering all the more apparent. Despite years of promises, Chancellor Helmut Kohl and his ruling coalition simply cannot find the political will to deliver on promises of lower taxes, cuts in government spending, and deregulation. With the 1998 election fast approaching, time is running out for the Kohl government to take the steps necessary to reinvigorate the economy.
The opposition shares plenty of blame for blocking legislation. With their majority in the Bundesrat, the upper house, the Social Democrats have scotched all efforts at tax reform. They prefer to play politics and position themselves for the upcoming election rather than take painful steps at structural reform. But Kohl must accept the major responsibility. The bear-like chancellor's instinct is to sweep problems under the rug. He could use his considerable political heft to create a sense of urgency and get reform rolling. Instead, he has fiddled for years while the ranks of the unemployed swelled to more than 4 million, a jobless rate of 11.2%.
The big change in the private sector comes from the new flexibility shown by labor. Workers at Deutz, a machinery maker, for example, are accepting pay cuts ranging from 2.5% to 10% in exchange for stock. At Bayer, the chemical union is agreeing to introduce flexible work hours and reduced bonuses. In return, Bayer will limit staff cuts to attrition. At BASF, the company's 22,000 workers are tying a percentage of their pay to individual and company performance. There are other German companies where unions are simply increasing the workweek. Other unions are permitting companies to hire temporary workers during busy seasons. This is very new for Germany.
The results? Productivity was up a stunning 4.6% in 1996, sharply boosting profits. The 30 companies represented in the DAX stock index showed profits rising 45% last year, sending the stock market to new highs. A lower German mark, plus these productivity gains, are giving some life to the economy.
But deep structural changes are needed in the German economy before it can regain its old vigor. Social security taxes, which Kohl promised to cut to less than 40% of gross wages, are rising to 42%, instead, to pay for higher unemployment payouts. And the governing coalition's much-heralded tax-reform plan, which was supposed to lower tax rates for companies and individuals, is moribund. With parliamentary elections only 15 months away, electioneering has pushed aside sober lawmaking and replaced it with political posturing. Both Kohl and his opponents should lay down their political cudgels. If Germany's corporations and labor unions can do it, so can its two major political parties.

Softball in the Rose Garden: White House press corps failed to challenge Bush's non-answers at press conference
Research ››› ››› JOSH KALVEN
President Bush offered many evasive answers during a September 15 press conference, but members of the White House press corps continued a pattern of failing to follow up each other's questions regardless of how unresponsive Bush had been to the previous question.
During a September 15 press conference, President Bush provided numerous evasive and misleading responses to questions regarding his counterterrorism policies and handling of the war in Iraq. But members of the White House press corps largely failed to follow up on each other's questions, continuing a regular pattern of asking their own questions regardless of how unresponsive Bush had been in his previous answer and regardless of the significance of the previous question. Media Matters for America previously documented the press corps' reticence to challenge Bush during press conferences on December 19, 2005, and March 21.
Criticism from Powell
The first question of the September 15 press conference came from Associated Press White House correspondent Terence Hunt, who noted former Secretary of State Colin Powell's recent statement in a letter to Sen. John McCain (R-AZ): "The world is beginning to doubt the moral basis of our fight against terrorism." Hunt asked, "If a former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and former secretary of State feels this way, don't you think that Americans and the rest of the world are beginning to wonder whether you're following a flawed strategy?" Following is Bush's response:
BUSH: If there's any comparison between the compassion and decency of the American people and the terrorist tactics of extremists, it's flawed logic. I simply can't accept that. It's unacceptable to think that there's any kind of comparison between the behavior of the United States of America and the action of Islamic extremists who kill innocent women and children to achieve an objective, Terry.
My job, and the job of people here in Washington, D.C., is to protect this country. We didn't ask for this war. You might remember the 2000 campaign. I don't remember spending much time talking about what it might be like to be a commander in chief in a different kind of war. But this enemy has struck us and they want to strike us again. And we will give our folks the tools necessary to protect the country; that's our job.
But who compared "the compassion and decency of the American people and the terrorist tactics of extremists"? Powell simply stated that the administration's handling of the threat of terrorism -- and more recently its position on the treatment of detained terrorism suspects -- has tarnished the nation's image worldwide and led many across the globe to question the "moral basis" for these policies. Nowhere in Powell's letter or in the question was there a suggestion that the "behavior of the United States" is on par with the "action of Islamic extremists who kill innocent women and children."
Following this answer, Hunt asked, "Can I follow up?" To which Bush answered, "No, you can't," before moving on to Reuters reporter Steve Holland. None of the subsequent questioners pointed out that Bush had answered a different question than the one Hunt asked.
Fox News White House correspondent Wendell Goler noted Bush's efforts "to get more international support for taking a tough stance against Iran" and asked, "I wonder how much that is frustrated by two things: one, the war in Iraq and world criticism of that; and the other, the Iraqi prime minister going to Iran and basically challenging your administration's claim that Iran is meddling in Iraqi affairs." In response, Bush declared a "strong consensus" in the United Nations on the issue and further stated, "[T]here's common consensus that we need to work together to prevent the Iranian regime from developing that nuclear weapons program."
But the press corps' following questions failed to address the fact that, contrary to Bush's claim of a "strong consensus" in the United Nations, both Russian and China currently represent "obstacles to a U.S.-led push for consideration of sanctions against Iran in the U.N. Security Council," as a September 5 Reuters article reported. The article noted that "China, whose trade with Iran reached nearly $8 billion in the first seven months of the year, has together with Russia long urged a negotiated solution and has traditionally opposed the use of sanctions in international diplomacy."
Further, no reporter noted that Bush had entirely ignored the second part of Goler's question regarding Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki's recent meeting with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in Tehran. According to a September 12 New York Times article, al-Maliki requested Iran's "support in quelling the violence that threatens to fracture" Iraq. In turn, Ahmadinejad committed to providing "assistance to establish complete security in Iraq because Iraq's security is Iran's security."
Later in the press conference, Bush similarly ignored the second part of a question posed by New York Times reporter Sheryl Gay Stolberg regarding whether he would veto the detainee-treatment bill the Senate Armed Services Committee passed a day earlier. But in this case, Washington Post staff writer Peter Baker -- when called on by Bush -- pointed out that "Sheryl's second question was whether you would veto the bill as it passed yesterday." Bush then addressed her question, saying, "Hopefully we can reconcile differences."
Saddam-Zarqawi connections
ABC chief White House correspondent Martha Raddatz brought up a recently released Senate Intelligence Committee report that concluded Saddam Hussein "did not have a relationship with, harbor, or turn a blind eye toward" Al Qaeda leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and that the CIA issued a 2005 report denying any relationship between the two. Raddatz noted that, despite the CIA's assessment, as recently as a month ago Bush was "still saying there was a relationship." Indeed, during an August 21 press conference, in response to a question from Cox Newspapers White House correspondent Ken Herman, Bush stated that Saddam "had relations with Zarqawi." Raddatz went on to ask, "Why did you keep saying that? Why do you continue to say that? And do you still believe that?" Following is Bush's response:
BUSH: The point I was making to Ken Herman's question was that Saddam Hussein was a state sponsor of terror, and that Mr. Zarqawi was in Iraq. He had been wounded in Afghanistan, had come to Iraq for treatment. He had ordered the killing of a U.S. citizen in Jordan. I never said there was an operational relationship. I was making the point that Saddam Hussein had been declared a state sponsor of terror for a reason, and, therefore, he was dangerous.
The broader point I was saying -- I was reminding people was why we removed Saddam Hussein from power. He was dangerous. I would hope people aren't trying to rewrite the history of Saddam Hussein -- all of a sudden, he becomes kind of a benevolent fellow. He's a dangerous man. And one of the reasons he was declared a state sponsor of terror was because that's what he was. He harbored terrorists; he paid for families of suicide bombers. Never have I said that Saddam Hussein gave orders to attack 9/11. What I did say was, after 9/11, when you see a threat, you've got to take it seriously. And I saw a threat in Saddam Hussein -- as did Congress, as did the United Nations. I firmly believe the world is better off without Saddam in power, Martha.
Contrary to Bush's claim that he "never said there was an operational relationship" between Saddam and Zarqawi, he did repeatedly assert that Saddam had "provided safe haven" to the Al Qaeda operative, as the weblog Think Progress noted. Moreover, the recently released Senate Intelligence report found that, rather than harboring or sponsoring Zarqawi, Saddam had "attempted, unsuccessfully, to locate and capture" him. Further, the report cited an Al Qaeda detainee's disclosure that Saddam's regime "considered al-Zarqawi an outlaw" and blamed him for two bombings in Baghdad.
But in their subsequent questions, none of Raddatz's colleagues took the opportunity to press Bush on the flaws and inconsistencies in this answer.
The hunt for bin Laden
Near the end of the press conference, Newsweek senior White House correspondent Richard Wolffe noted that Bush had previously said that "the idea of sending Special Forces to Pakistan to hunt down bin Laden was as a strategy that would not work." Wolffe went on to ask Bush why he thinks "it's a bad idea to send more resources to hunt down bin Laden wherever he is." Following is Bush's response:
BUSH: We are, Richard. ... Pakistan is a sovereign nation. In order for us to send thousands of troops into a sovereign nation, we've got to be invited by the government of Pakistan.
Secondly, the best way to find somebody who is hiding is to enhance your intelligence and to spend the resources necessary to do that; then when you find him, you bring him to justice. And there is a kind of an urban myth here in Washington about how this administration hasn't stayed focused on Osama bin Laden. Forget it. It's convenient throw-away lines when people say that. We have been on the hunt, and we'll stay on the hunt until we bring him to justice, and we're doing it in a smart fashion, Richard. We are. And I look forward to talking to [Pakistani] President [Pervez] Musharraf.
Look, he doesn't like Al Qaeda. They tried to kill him. And we've had a good record of bringing people to justice inside of Pakistan, because the Paks are in the lead. They know the stakes about dealing with a violent form of ideological extremists. And so we will continue on the hunt. And we've been effective about bringing to justice most of those who planned and plotted the 9/11 attacks, and we've still got a lot of pressure on them. The best way to protect the homeland is to stay on the offense and keep pressure on them.
This answer could have provoked several follow-up questions:
- If allegations that your administration has not stayed focused on bin Laden are nothing more than an "urban myth," how do you explain the CIA's decision in late 2005 to disband the unit that for a decade had focused solely on locating and capturing the Al Qaeda leader? Further, if we "have been on the hunt," why did you state in a March 13, 2002, press conference, "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]"?
- You asserted that Pakistan is committed to bringing bin Laden to justice. But how do you explain reports that the Pakistani army recently negotiated a "peace agreement" with Al Qaeda militants along the Afghan border -- where many believe bin Laden is hiding?
- If bin Laden is in fact in Pakistan, how do you square the United States' continued alliance with Pakistan with your own previous statement that any country harboring terrorists is no better than terrorists?
Bush proceeded to call on the final reporter, Time magazine White House correspondent Mike Allen. But rather than address any of these issues, Allen shifted to an entirely different topic: reports that Bush brought up the concept of a "Third Awakening" during a recent meeting with conservative journalists.

Those Reebok dudes think they've got us boys all sewn up.

And it really is that simple, at least for me. I mean, look at them, just look at them.

Busty Heather Clem, 38, has told friends she is embarrassed that the raunchy video has been leaked on the internet. She's also ashamed that pals have discovered she allegedly had sex with the "cheesy" Hogan Knows Best star.
The grainy recording was supposed to be a private moment between her, Hulk, and then husband, DJ Bubba the Love Sponge – but now it's anything but…
"Heather is completely devastated the sex tape has appeared in public and doesn't want to talk about it," a friend told RadarOnline.com.
"She thinks it puts her in a bad light – it's not as if Hulk's a hunk and it's a pretty embarrassing moment.
"What's worse is Hulk's interruptions – stopping Heather when she's performing a sex act to check his cell phone and then admitting he felt like a pig because he ate too much right before after they finished up… the video makes her look like a peace of meat.
"Heather didn't want her friends and family knowing that she had sex with Hulk Hogan – he's very corny.
"It was a private moment, and wasn't meant to be shared with anyone else," the pal concluded.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, a one-minute clip said to be taken from 30 minutes of footage, shows the 59-year-old champ baring his pasty rear-end in a sexual encounter allegedly with Heather, the ex-wife of Hulk's best friend, radio DJ Bubba the Love Sponge.
It's not flattering – and in comical fashion just after they've finished – the Hulkster can be seen pounding his bloated belly telling the lucky lady that he'd just eaten 10 minutes ago and "felt like a pig" while they were having sex!
But one person who wasn't surprised to see Hulk appearing in a sex tape was his ex-wife, Linda Hogan.
She told RadarOnline.com: "I wasn't really shocked about it," and called the sexual encounter "a little twisted."
And her lawyer, Ray Rafool told RadarOnline.com: "Linda and Terry are now in a much more comfortable place as a family now.
"They have two kids together – and she wants to make sure that no further embarrassment is caused. She doesn't want to feed any fires by saying too much about the incident."
Heather Clem declined to comment when approached by RadarOnline.com.
"and she wants to make sure that no further embarrassment is caused. She doesn't want to feed any fires by saying too much about the incident.""
Yet Linda goes and gets pulled over for, speeding, and then charged with driving on a suspended license and DUI, lol
Heather Clem it's google time!
So I guess The Ultimate Warrior wasn't full of shit after all. If this is true just how much else of what he said was true? Everybody and their mama were like Ultimate Warrior needs to shut up. He's a has-been who is just jealous of Hogan. And now look at you doubting muthafuckas, this shit is hilarious! And I for one don't wanna see Hulk Hogan get his rocks off. Who would be interested in seeing his old balls and dick? I'm kinda sick at the thought of him having a sex tape I bet it's add sexy as Montana Fishbourne's tape and that would've been hot of she didn't look like her dad. She has an AMAZING body but her looks is fucked! If Brooke Hogan did one it would be as equally disappointing because she, like Montana, had a hot body but she suffers from Daddyness its where a chick has a OMG body but looks like her dad. Suffice to say I wouldn't get an erection looking at any of their tapes. Unless Brooke wears a paper bag on her head like shorty in Scary Movie 2and no one tells me it's Brooke.
Ummmm….Yikes. Who shares their g-friend/wife with anyone…much less Hogan? That IS embarrassing for ALL parties involved.
….but nothing surprising at all.
Man, it sounds like Hogan is worse with women than i am.
Hulk Hogan has a Big Dick.
I could care less about any celebs personal life. This is a wrestling site not a rag mag site. Not defending Hogan. Just that who cares!
I saw the clips of the sex tape and it's so boring. The only thing that caught me was Hulk Hogan's cell phone ringtone of his daughter Brooke and mentioning Nick and putting on a Bubba T-Shirt. Also his bold hair and Tan @#$ covers the womens so this isn't even considered a sex tape more like. I rather watch Barney F*** all four Telletubbies then watch this garbage. I wanted to see T&A not TNA.
Man, why would ya want to watch hogan screwing?????????????????????????????
I didn't want to see Hogan screw. I wanted to see who the girl he was with. If I wanted to see Hogan screw I'll watch Impact Wresting on Thursday when he screws up the storyline everytime he puts himself in a match. No one wants to see Hogan wrestling or screwing in a sex tape. Hogan just wants the spotlight to himself. He's not promoting TNA. He's promoting HIMSELF for example TV Commercials, TMZ, Talk Shows. That's why he's a TNA. He wants the attention on him. Hulkamania is DEAD. He should've stuck to retirement in WWE and went to TNA as a full time GM not as a active wrestler who wrestles Aces&Eight.
Yeah, Linda's in a much more comfortable place, an 8 x 6 jail cell.. Did I read it wrong or was it a threesome with Bubba the fat fcuk sponge..
no but nicks girlfriends sister i think it was said to be twin sister wants to have sex with hogan. im sure next we will get video of hogan oiling up brooke like he did on the beach lol. (runs an pukes in the toilet…opps didn't make it)
its prob a funy video considering the roids he can't have much of a dick prob lol, if its big or normal it then must have been bigger before which then damn. but it would have been more hilarious seeing this 25 years ago with a cocaine induced hogan hulking up and ripping into women. i could only imagine animated gifs of such online. but id never wanna see hulk naked now brooke on the other hand but she must wear a mask or bag, cause her face looks like her dad and that justturns me off.
Its not hard to see why everythin brookes done to date has been a failure, she cant act or sing and has a bigger jaw than her old man. As for the movie, the fact that the woman slept with bubba puts me off immediately..
I gotta agree with her. He's super cheesy. He talks like Michelle from Full House.
Honestly, I think this is someones attempt at deminishing TNA's Bound For Glory Impact. Its their biggest show of the year.Either you have WWE somehow trying to sabatoge it in a fashion they cant be implimented in it all or some fan of the WWE thinks this crap is funny. I frankly, could care less about what any wrestler does in their private lives. I want to see TNA wrestling exceed all other companies. I mean really, how many other wrestlers from other locations have tapes that havent got on internet simply because the Mcmahons are doing damage control to protect Linda.
Ok, so she calls Hogan corny when she was married to Bubba the Love Spong of all people. Really?
i just saw that video and i must say it's funny as shit, i laugh my ass off
secondly, before everything was so politicized a third of wwe's roster had sex tapes of some form or another. I would love to have someone leak one about anyone in a certain family's household. The thing that ticks me off is TNA is an up and coming company that some other company feels threatended by so they want to do whatever to keep them back. Wrestler tampering, bad press, cyber slandering, etc.Why isnt stone cold being brought back but bret and piper show up every now and then. Why is Randy being jobbed now. Everyone knows that if randy gets the belt, shamus, punk, and all them other losers will become insignificant. Also, if Linda gets the governor election, all hell will break loose with WWE because she will have attained the position and record shows their family does what they want to do.

Owing to its association with ostentation, decoration and excess, marble dropped off the radar in contemporary design for the best part of two decades. Yet, recent technological developments, the return to fashion of a more upmarket style, and the material's powerful natural qualities are all helping to endear marble to a new generation of designers.

tq issues with ultra bell
I snapped my bell housing on my 700. So i figured i would just up grad to the ultra bell. when i bolt it up to the motor, the tq is too tight. If i line it up with the raised bolt holes in the flywheel its super tight and you cant move it. If i line it up beside the holes with some effort you can move it. I don't have to back off the bolts much at all to get it to move. my tq is set in the pump. Am i stuck getting a new tq, are can i grind my mounts down a Little?. Maybe even cut the pump eats down a Little more.
I know you said it was, but it sure sounds like the converter is not fully engaged into the pump, and I hope you didn't force things too much as the pump can easily be ruined by doing so. First thing I'd do is go to a tranny shop and get a measurement from a stock 700, pump face to outer edge of the bell. Then compare that to your Ultra Bell and see if they're the same.

Iyengar Yoga North County has a free yoga class each month on the first Saturday of each month. This introductory yoga class is free for students new to the Center. It provides an opportunity to see the studio and meet the staff. If you are experienced and have not done Iyengar yoga before, it gives you a chance to experience the depth and precision of the teaching method. Beginners are welcome to join as well.
Iyengar yoga focuses on the body's alignment in the pose so you receive very detailed instructions about how to do the yoga asana (pose) correctly. Whether you are a beginner or are looking for advanced teachers, you will find that Iyengar yoga can meet your needs.
Iyengar yoga teachers participate in 1,000 hour training programs to receive certification at the Intro level. Many travel to India to study with the Iyengar family in Pune, in addition to attending on-going training and workshops with senior Iyengar teachers here in the States.
BKS Iyengar wrote the book, Light on Yoga, back in the late 60's and it has become the yoga 'bible' for practitioners all over the world. At almost 95, he still practices and teaches yoga every day. Carolyn Belko, the Center's director, has studied with Mr. Iyengar numerous times and received her Senior level certification from him.
For more details about the free yoga classes Encinitas, click through to this page. What to bring, what to wear and what to expect.
The Center offers a good selection of yoga classes Encinitas weekly as well as workshops and intensives. These are designed for all levels of yoga practitioners, from beginners to experienced students.
In addition, we offer a lot of student support for home practice, providing handouts with visual sequences. A therapeutics class is also available to students who are currently enrolled.
