Could the defensive line be this year's achilles heel?
2008-05-24 22:37:00 Well, we all know about the injury to Justin Harrell's back, and thank God it was not anything more severe. That is the difference between a regime of free weights and station weights. Free weights force you to balance the weight equally so someone does not get lazy. If someone does not stay focused on what he is doing, back issues become the normal situation.Boy, are they going to have to take baby steps with Harrell when he comes back. Again we as fans probably will not see any positive athletic movement from Justin until halfway through the season. Now the Packers have to cross their fingers and hope that Johnny Jolly will be alright for most, if not all, of the season.Mike McCarthy stated that he was concerned with the defensive line health issues but then the team brings in another TE in Evan Moore instead of another defensive lineman. McCarthy also stated that he only wanted to take 13 defensive lineman to training camp, which is the number that they are at right now. So much...

Biofuels - Achilles Heel of Global Warming
2008-04-22 18:47:00 As the myth around global warming begins to unravel and Operation Desperation sets in, it's important for the public to know why biofuels aren't the answer to solving global warming. For those that don't know, biofuels are alternative energy sources derived from living matter, as opposed to fossil fuels, such as oil, which are derived from nonliving matter. The most common biofuel is a blend of gasoline called E85, which means it's 15% gasoline and 85% ethanol. However, the gasoline and ethanol content changes depending on the season. During cold weather, more gasoline needs to be added to the mixture to ensure the fuel works properly, so E85 is at least 70% ethanol.If biofuels are going to reduce our dependency on foreign oil, what's the big deal? Ethanol, without consideration of other factors, could cut our dependency on foreign oil. However, ethanol as a fuel still requires gasoline to function properly. As stated in the previous paragraph, cold weather is especially trying...

Achilles Heel..... Lefties both our's and their's
2008-03-22 19:54:00 The Mets could have the strongest rotation in the league, but the difference between the rotation being good and dominant could be the number four starter. I believe Johan and Pedro will feed off each other and have great years. Maine looks great, the biggest concern with him is those fluky lack of concentration innings which aside from the first game of the spring he seems to be maturing past. So the Mets have the big three which makes it a very good staff but what will make them a dominant rotation is a solid year from Oliver Perez. Perez is consistently inconsistent, at times he looks like he could challenge Johan for the ace position and other times you can understand how he got sent down by the Pirates two years ago. This spring he has looked great in two outings which were sandwiched by very bad ones. The first few starts of spring are understandable but at this point, pitchers are starting to get in regular season form. In todays game Perez gave up four homer runs, three of w...

McCain's Sharp Tongue: an Achilles Heel?
2008-02-17 16:24:00 Temper, temper. Republican John McCain is known for his. He's been dubbed "Senator Hothead" by more than one publication, but he's also had some success extracting his hatchet from several foreheads. Even his Republican Senate colleagues are not spared his sharp tongue. "F--- you," he shouted at Texas Sen. John Cornyn last year. "Only an a------ would put together a budget like this," he told the former Budget Committee chairman, Sen. Pete Domenici, in 1999. "I'm calling you a f------ jerk!" he once retorted to Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley. With Cornyn, he smoothed things over quickly. The two argued during a meeting on immigration legislation; Cornyn complained that McCain seemed to parachute in during the final stages of negotiations. "F--- you. I know more about this than anyone else in the room," McCain reportedly shouted. Cornyn chuckled at the memory of what he called McCain's "aggressive expressions of differences." The Texan has endorsed McCain. "He almost immediately...

(Day 212 / -108 lbs.) My Achilles' Heel
2007-12-17 18:11:00 If weight loss were a religion, scripture would warn us against cookies. Over-indulgence and my gaining a freakin' pound this weekend has me feeling repentant. Thus, an excerpt from the Book of Cookies, Chapter 3, verse 11 and 12:Damn thy sweet crunchy goodness thou slayer of diets, thou foiler of shrinkage! I curse thy coconut, thy chocolate chip, thy caramel and beg mercy. For thou art mighty though be ye small and cunning- yes! For though my plate be full one moment, verily it is empty the next and I remember not thy consumption. Surely ye shall be my undoing should I not regain my will.Woe be unto the children of men, for they will savor not thy sweetness, thy crunch, for father has eaten them all, and shared with them not. It is temptation that triumphs over thee and makes clothing bind and belly jiggle. Eat them not, thy Berry Thumbprint, thy Macaroon, for therein lies peril and thy doom.OK, so weight loss need not become a religion but it certainly needs to become a ...

US & Canada: The World's Achilles Heel
2007-06-04 08:31:00 Heading into this month's G8 climate change talks in Germany, North America is rapidly asserting itself as the world's biggest nemesis.Following last week's leaked memo showing the Bush administration's continued opposition to hard caps on carbon emissions, the President himself has now made a new proposal that threatens to hijack the international process - by placing the US in a lead role in negotiations with the world's top 15 greenhouse gas emitters. In making this offer, Bush openly asserts that the US is opposed to hard caps on emissions, carbon trading, and the EU's goal of limiting global warming to 2 degrees Celsius.Canada is offering little better. Saturday's Globe reports that Prime Minister Stephen Harper wants to act as a bridge between Europe, the US and Asia. The basis for this bridge is recognizing Canada's right to produce more emissions than other countries because of our spiraling oil sands emissions.Yet, the most embarrassing part of these developments...
The Iraq War: Hillary Clinton?s Achilles? Heel?
2007-05-26 02:03:00 By Joshua Frank 5/25/07 Senator Clinton is sure trying hard to court the antiwar vote while still sustaining a muscular U.S. foreign policy agenda as she runs for the presidency. On May 16, Hillary Clinton sided with 28 other senators in support for advancing legislation to cut off funding for the war in Iraq after March of 2008. Despite her modest anti-war gesture, Clinton was still not willing to predict how she would side on similar legislation in the future. ?I'm not going to speculate on what I'm going to be voting on in the future,? Clinton told reporters shortly after the vote. ?I voted in favor of cloture to have a debate.? Hours later Clinton changed her mind, and decided that she wanted to do more than start a debate on the matter. ?I support the underlying bill,? she said. ?That's what this vote on cloture was all about.? Even though the race for the White House is still in its infancy, Hillary Clinton has yet to take a coherent position on the Ira...

Tech exposes UNC?s Achilles heel
2007-02-14 11:22:05 Column by Chris Graham My partner in crime anointed North Carolina as the 2006-2007 national champs last week. I raised issue with the early decree - and said that I needed to see more out of Carolina’s backcourt of Ty Lawson and Wayne Ellington before I could go along with the idea that the title race was the Heels’ to lose. Ahem - after their collective 10-for-27 shooting performance on offense and woeful effort on defense that allowed Virginia Tech senior guard Zabian Dowdell to go off for a career-high 33 points tonight, it looks like I was right to raise issue.
