| SMART ALEX A MEDAL HUNTER
The newest sport at the winter Olympics in Salt Lake City next week should carry a health warning. Something like: Sliding down a bosleigh run on a tea tray can be hazardous. But it may be very useful for Britain's traditionally feeble medal count. The Skeleton offers a serious golden opportunity. The name derives from the outline of the sledge on which the "sliders" hurtle down the snowy mountains of the world. Head first. The name might also describe how some of the athletes finish the race. "Yes, it does look dangerous," admits Britain's gold medal candidate, Alex Coomber, a 27-year-old RAF intelligence officer from Worthing. "But in reality you can't actually crash out of the track, so it's really a matter of ice burns and bruising when you come off.
Kleinhans out as AD in Odem
Odem went 6-4 last season, but a 2-4 finish in District 31-2A kept the Owls out of the playoffs for the second straight year. Increased pressure from the community forced Parker to make a decision. "He's been an excellent coach, but you know how it gets when you're not winning and the community starts complaining that a change is needed," Parker said. "I kind of held off, hoping some of the talk would die down, but it didn't. We figured it would be a good time to do it. It's not a real pleasant thing to do, especially when you like somebody, but sometimes the community speaks louder." Parker said Kleinhans is likely to be reassigned within the athletic department and will remain at the school until his contract expires at the end of the school year. Kleinhans plans to continue his duties for now, but not all of them.

Turkish military sees better weather, steps up campaign against ...
More than 40 military trucks ferried troops toward the Iraqi border on Wednesday after a heavy snowfall slowed down Turkey's ground incursion against Kurdish rebels. F-16 warplanes and helicopters were seen flying over the border town of Cukurca toward Iraq. Iraq has demanded an immediate end to the operation, which started last week. Turkey, however, says it will continue the incursion until it achieves its military goals. U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates, ahead of his arrival in Turkey later Wednesday, said in India that he will tell Turkish leaders they need to wrap up their military operations in northern Iraq quickly, and that the ongoing assault must not last longer than a week or two. .

For developers, a no' in a reasonable time frame can be better than a yes' over three or four years." The SNP government has promised to boost the proportion of Scotland's electricity demand met by renewable sources to 31% by 2011 and 50% by 2020. Around 20% of Scotland's electricity is currently generated by renewables. But the huge backlog of wind farm applications is jeopardising progress, with dozens of major projects waiting up to five years for approval. Altogether there are 74 schemes for which planning applications have been submitted, 64 for which applications are being prepared, and 15 that are under appeal. According to the latest data from the renewables industry, projects which have been rejected by a public local inquiry and then go to the Scottish government take an average of 45 months to win approval.

In January, rumors swirled that her engagement to Lance Armstrong was coming to an end. They officially split on February 3 -- two months before their wedding. At the time Sheryl was appearing on numerous magazine covers, giving interviews about her impending nuptials. A week later, Sheryl faced the public at the Grammy Awards -- looking radiant and with her head held high. No word on whether Sheryl shared the news with her ex-fiance, but I suspect that she has.
