| Nothing's Wrong With The Offside Law...
A little health warning to begin this latest installment of refereeing analysis: West Ham fans, you may wish to read on, but do so with caution. Reading this week's Ref365 involves reliving a painful weekend moment, when the referee in the game at St. James' Park cost you points. This may lead to indigestion, but whatever you do, do not resort to usual methods of curing indigestion, heartburn and trapped wind. Rennie will not help. I visited the Rennie website to check what symptoms one would expect to have if suffering an ailment which said medication can relieve and I found one such symptom is 'acid taste in the mouth'. I would suggest that Newcastle v West Ham on Saturday would certainly have left a bitter taste in the mouth of all Hammers this weekend. Funnily enough, 'pain in the side' is also listed as a symptom, which I suppose is what supporters of the Toon may have developed, shortly before those sides indeed split through the general mirth and enjoyment Mr Rennie's performance may have invoked from a Geordie perspective.
Experts analyze pros and cons of organic foods
RALEIGH, N.C. - The scientific community remains unable to answer the abundance of questions that challenge the organic food market. It is also unable to prove many of the assertions organic defenders encourage.
A common misconception about organic foods is they have an innate healthiness that supersedes the nutritional values of conventionally grown food. However, organic foods are considered healthier not because of qualities they have, but because of qualities they lack - specifically pesticides, artificial ingredients and trans fats, according to the National Organic Program.
Proponents of an organic diet, such as Valentina Daly, a senior in criminology at North Carolina State University, assert that organics are healthier, more environmentally friendly and have a greater sustainability than conventional crops.
Offseason could be long for Gocong, Eagles and fans
PHILADELPHIA Three pieces of advice for Eagles fans as they prepare for an offseason not expected to bubble over with Super Bowl-here-we-come news: 1) stay away from the knife drawer; 2) keep the acid-reflux medicine close by; and 3) focus on the Phillies until the rookies report to Lehigh. Between now and then, not much that will happen at One NovaCare Way likely will bring much of a smile to your face, other than possibly the long-overdue pink slips expected to be given to Dhani Jones and Jerome McDougle. The free-agent market is anorexic, but even if it werent, and even if the Eagles actually were inclined to gobble up veterans, which theyre not, they dont have their usual 1,000 acres of salary-cap space. After signing several young players to long-term extensions in 2006, they will head into free agency less than $13 million under the projected $109 million cap.
