80-Year-Old Accidentally Swallows $5K Diamond
(NEWSER) – Miriam Tucker's last colonoscopy yielded quite a treasure: a 1.03-carat round brilliant cut diamond, worth $5,000. But don't go scheduling an appointment with your gastroenterologist in the hopes that you, too, will strike it rich. Tucker, you see, had accidentally swallowed the diamond first. The 80-year-old attended a fashion show fundraiser in Tampa on Saturday, and bought a $20 glass of champagne with a bauble inside. Of the 400 glasses, 399 contained a $10 cubic zirconia, reports the Tampa Tribune. As luck would have it, Tucker's glass held the one real diamond.

Is This Obama's Katrina?
Ron Brownstein pretty well nails it today:
For decades, Democratic strategists have viewed universal health care as their best opportunity to reverse the doubt among many voters, especially whites, that government programs can tangibly benefit their families. Now the catastrophic rollout of the health law threatens instead to reinforce those doubts. That outcome could threaten Democratic priorities for years.
He points to exit polls from Virginia last week, when 52 percent of white voters said they opposed the law. He then notes that the odds have just gone way up that the 2016 election will be a referendum on the health-care law and on the efficacy of government in general. Well, 2016 is a long way away--I mean, remember: Just three weeks ago, it was the Republicans, post-shutdown, who were in total disarray! But Brownstein might end up being right. Now you know why Bill Clinton said what he said.
The problem is compounded by the fact that whatever fix Congress passes runs the risks of making things substantively worse, because, as I'm sure you know by now, if insurers are permitted to continue to carry customers on plan that don't meet the ACA's standards, that will undercut the whole reform, because healthy people will buy those cheaper plans and the new plans will be left to the sick, and they'll be more expensive as a result.
The Republican plan from Congressman Fred Upton would take matters one step further. It wouldn't merely continue the grandfathering in of sub-ACA plans for people who had to buy insurance themselves and had done so before Oct. 1; it would allow insurers to continue to sell new sub-ACA plans througout 2014. That really is designed to mess up the law. It's not going anywhere in Harry Reid's Senate, but right now it's hard guess what might pass both houses and be acceptable to Obama.

Lance Bass addresses *NSYNC VMA reunion rumor
Listen to *NSync on iHeartRadio
Sorry *NSync fans, but it looks like the boy band may not be reuniting at Sunday's MTV VMAs afterall - according to Lance Bass.
Lance addressed the rumor that was the talk of the internet yesterday on his radio show, and delivered the news to hopeful *NSync fans. He said:
"I have to address the rumors…this morning I woke up to a lot of rumors flying that the NSYNC reunion is happening after eleven years at the VMAs this Sunday. Well, let me tell you how this all came about. Justin Timberlake is getting the Michael Jackson Vanguard Award this Sunday at the awards, so of course people are automatically going to think we're going to be there performing, but this is exactly how it happened and I knew these rumors were going to fly. We all came down here [Miami] except for J.C. - J.C. stayed in California, he had to work. Joey [Fatone], Chris [Kirkpatrick] and myself went to go see Justin's last show with Jay Z at the [Sun Life] Stadium last Friday, and I even took a picture of it, it's on my Instagram."
Lance continues, "I think that's what started the rumor that there's going to be this big reunion with NSYNC…it's amazing to see the reaction out there on Twitter and social media… how many people are supporting NSYNC. It's so nice to see because when we ended things [over] ten years ago, there was no social media, there was no Twitter, but it's so cute to see how many people are supporting and NSYNC was even trending."
It looks like if *NSync fans want a ruinion they're going to have to lobby hard for it!

Crazy Shipwreck Find: 2K-Year-Old Roman Food?
(NEWSER) – A 2,000-year-old shipwreck discovered off the coast of Italy could yield a pretty neat find: jars of preserved food from ancient Rome. Divers launched a search near Varazze, a town in the province of Liguria, after more than 80 years of reports from fishermen that they were bringing up Roman pottery shards and artifacts in their nets. The divers believe the wreck is a Roman-era commercial vessel from between the first century BC and the first century AD, and it's extremely well preserved thanks to protective mud on the seabed, the BBC reports. "The peculiarity of this is that the wreck could be almost intact," the commander of the police divers' group says.

Colts scratch and claw back to win after staking Titans 14-0 lead
It's not worth trying to play armchair psychiatrist with the Indianapolis Colts past this: They're tough and resilient. How much that's worth — and how much it can cover up their flaws — in December in January is yet to be determined.
But for now, following a 30-27 victory over the Tennessee Titans at LP Field on Thursday, the Colts will take it. Especially the way this one started.
The Colts fell behind 14-3 after yet another sluggish start — that's three games in a row now they've been ice cold early — and it became 17-6 at the half. The Titans bit the Colts' defense time and time again with a steady diet of crossing-pattern passes and Chris Johnson runs. Johnson scored two touchdowns, from 30 (his longest run in 180 carries) and seven yards, matching his season scoring total.
The Titans seemed to be in the Colts' heads at that point. On the Titans' field-goal drive, the Colts committed three major penalties on defense — and were lucky to have not lost a player to expulsion. Linebacker Erik Walden ripped off the helmet of Titans tight end Delanie Walker and headbutted the helmet-less player, something the referees did not catch. It appeared the Colts had lost their focus.
But then things flipped. The Colts opened the third quarter with an 11-play, 76-yard touchdown drive capped on a Donald Brown run, and then, following a fumble on the ensuing kickoff, Andre Luck scored on a TD scramble two plays later.
The Titans' defense looked gassed for much of the second half, unable to get quick stops and forced to be on the field for a stretch of 32 out of 35 plays at one point. But part of that was to blame on offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains, who got away from the first-half gameplan for the first part of the second half.
A few more hammer-blow Colts drives made it 30-20 Indy when Brown capped off his big night with an 11-yard TD run. The Titans countered with a quick Ryan Fitzpatrick-to-Walker touchdown pass, but they couldn't recover the onsides kick and the game ended.
The Colts have to feel lucky. In a game in which there was chippy play and bad refereeing, they were fortunate to come out with a win, one that puts them in the driver's seat in the AFC South. Luck was great again in the second half, making Coby Fleener (eight receptions, career-high 107 yards) his go-to guy, but the Colts are expecting Luck to be great every time out.
The Titans' loss puts them at 4-6 and very much on the outside looking in as far as the playoffs are concerned.

LISTEN: Family of victims injured in NYC bike attack speak out
There will be no charges against a second New York biker questioned over a weekend road rage battle. Police say Allen Edwards was held overnight, but is being released. Fellow biker Christopher Cruz is facing several counts. Cruz is suspected of slowing down his motorcycle and causing SUV driver Alexian Lien to hit him. Lien was beaten in front of his family by members of the motorcycle gang, after taking off and running over another biker.
Family members of 32-year-old Edwin Mieses, the motorcyclist who was run down, are demanding Lien be charged. Mieses remains hospitalized in a coma with serious injuries.
Two people called into Jam'n 94.5 to discuss the incident:
Ramiro and the JAM'N Morning Show talk to Carlos...whose friend got hit in the NYC biker incident.

Westboro's Fred Phelps dead at 84
(NEWSER) – Just days after his estranged son revealed he was "on the edge of death," Fred Phelps has died. The death of the 84-year-old founder of the Westboro Baptist Church occurred shortly before midnight, son Timothy Phelps tells WIBW. Daughter Shirley Phelps-Roperconfirmed that Phelps died yesterday at Midland Care Hospice. WIBW takes a look at the life of Phelps, the man "bent on delivering a message," who, after being disbarred in 1979, made bids for senator and governor in Kansas and ultimately achieved notoriety at the helm of Westboro, whose infamous funeral protests included the picketing of military funerals and the funeral of Matthew Shepherd.

Election Night 2013: The Center Speaks
Yesterday's results in Virginia and New Jersey are a warning to politicians who embrace Obamacare. They're also a warning to politicians who embrace the Tea Party.
In Virginia, heavily favored Democrat Terry McAuliffe barely eked out a two-point win, while in New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie sailed to reelection with a 20-point victory. Meanwhile, in a special congressional election in Alabama, Chamber of Commerce-type Republican Bradley Byrne defeated Dean Young, a Tea Party favorite, 53-46.
In the Old Dominion, McAuliffe defeated Ken Cuccinelli with a mere plurality of votes after having trailed throughout the evening. Going into Election Day, McAuliffe had consistently and comfortably led in all polls, and vastly outraised and outspent his opponent. Yet Obamacare's failed rollout made the election that close—even as Cuccinelli steadfastly refused to come to grips with modernity.
According to exit polls, 53 percent of Virginians opposed Obamacare, and that is what made Cuccinelli a contender. Right now, Obamacare is the Democrats' albatross, and President Obama's mangled legacy.
On the other side of the ledger, Cuccinelli lost among women, college graduates, and wealthier voters. His message of traditionalism, nullification, and antipathy toward the industrial Midwest cost him badly in post-government shutdown Northern Virginia. Sixty percent of Virginia's voters were pro-choice, and single women gave McAuliffe better than a 40-point margin.
McAuliffe also won among voters with incomes over $200,000—who comprised more than a tenth of all voters—by 16 points. Yet just a year earlier, it was Mitt Romney who won high-end Virginia. Indeed, even Virginia's suburbs have been Yankeefied.
Going forward, that is the fact the GOP must carefully digest. If Republicans can no longer reliably rely on Virginia's wealthy, then they have even less of a prayer in Pennsylvania's Main Line or in the tony environs of Ohio's Hamilton County in presidential years.
To top it off, blacks cast one fifth of the vote in Virginia—the same percentage as they had cast in 2012—and they went for McAuliffe by better than nine-to-one. The Old Dominion is now a national bellwether, and the GOP is looking like anything but a national party.

Steven Tyler opens up about his addiction on 'Dr. Oz'
Listen to Aerosmith on iHeartRadio
Steven Tyler admits he has to put an effort into maintaining his sobriety. But the Aerosmith frontman tells "The Dr. Oz Show" one of the biggest challenges he faces comes from the people who are supposed to be helping him stay healthy.
Tyler says he "lost everything" to his addictions, and admits "it's serious when you lose your kids, your children, your wife, your band, your job and you'll never understand why because you're an addict."
But he says he's now been sober three years. The rocker explains that he had 12 years of sobriety to his credit when he experienced a relapse - for which he's taking the blame.
Steven admits he "simply didn't follow" his program while recovering from a series of operations and kept his medication at his bedside, and as a result he started taking more than his prescribed dose. Tyler adds that he's "a very good drug addict" because he's "done it for so many years."

Dad Whose Son Baked in Car Parked 'Near Back of Lot
(NEWSER) – A probable cause hearing yesterday revealed Justin Ross Harris exchanged sexually explicit messages and nude photos with six women—including one 17-year-old—as his 22-month-old son baked to death in a hot car, and the fresh details don't end there. This morning saw the release of a new batch of search warrants that were issued roughly a week after Cooper's June 18 death, and WXIA and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution outline the new allegations, per Cobb police:
- Surveillance video from the parking lot where Harris works captured him arriving that morning. According to detectives who reviewed the video, "Harris passes a parking space, backs the vehicle up several feet and then pulls into a parking space near the back of the lot."

Was $99.95 NOW $64.95
This is the diminutive Chewbacca that speaks in an authentic Wookiee voice when he is hugged. Though "Chewie" was actually 7 1/2' tall, this plush doll places his immense furry head on a miniature body better suited for cuddling.

Tremendously strong, fiercely loyal, and unabashedly sentimental, Chewbacca will happily serve as co-pilot on many a young rebel commander's intergalactic adventures. The furry "fuzzball" (as Han Solo jokingly called him) comes ready for action, wearing his bandolier and carrying pouch, and his thick coat can be surface cleaned. Includes one button battery.

Cleveland Kidnapping Suspect Faces 977 Count Indictment
(Cleveland, OH) -- Cleveland kidnapping suspect Ariel Castro is now facing 977 criminal counts after being indicted on hundreds of new charges today. The Cuyahoga County Prosecutor's Office announced the additional charges include two counts of aggravated murder in the death of an unidentified female.

Only available from Hammacher Schlemmer and carried inconspicuously in a purse or trouser pocket, this is the smallest umbrella available that opens and closes the canopy with the push of a button. Just 8" long when closed, the umbrella instantly deploys its generous 40" diameter canopy when a button on its handle is pressed. When the skies clear, a second press of the button collapses the canopy (as with all umbrellas, the shaft must be manually retracted). Designed by a third-generation umbrella maker based in rainy Portland, Oregon, the umbrella is constructed with a nylon canopy and steel shaft, ribs, and stretchers that withstand breezes better than flimsily built compacts made with plastic. And unlike other so-called compacts, it's small enough to keep on your person at all times, so you'll never get caught unprepared by a sudden downpour. With wrist strap and nylon sleeve. Plum. Closed: 8" L x 2 3/4" diameter. (9 oz.)
Lifetime Guarantee
The World's Smallest Automatic Umbrella (Plum) comes with The Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee. If this product ever disappoints you, for any reason, you may return your Hammacher Schlemmer purchase for exchange, credit, or refund.
Should you have any questions, we are available seven days a week (8:00 am – midnight EST). Please call 1-800-321-1484 to speak with a specialist or email us at email@example.com to receive a response within three business hours or less.

Garish Advertising on Umbrella

Logo Surprise
By Frank
from St. Louis, MO
This product was a gift and I was disappointed to find that it displayed a Hammacher Schlemmer logo. It takes on the characteristic of an advertising give away. Otherwise the product seemed to have the features I wanted: small, easily opened, adequate protection.

Size is great, advertising not so great
By Bessie
from Jacksonville, NC
The company should disclose in description that the umbrella shows their name in bold letters on the umbrella. They should pay users for the advertising!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Very compact, but very sturdy
By RKB
from Tampa Bay. FL
I bought this for my wife who often needs an umbrella to walk from her parking lot to her office. This umbrella is sturdy enough not to give up in a decent wind, something at which I was surprised considering its compactness. Best of all, it fits in her purse. She's not overly comfortable with mechanical things, but she loves the one button open and close.

A Novel Idea
By None
from San Juan, Puerto Rico
I use this product in the rain and wind. It is compact and easy to open. It folds easily and fits handily back into the sleeve. It is difficult for a woman to close, because the spring to close it is tight.
Small but heavy
By TJ
from New York
Haven't had a chance to evaluate the umbrella for its most important function: rain protection; however, I was surprised that, although small--which I wanted--it is rather heavy--which I certainly didn't want. I'm hoping its greater weight may be because the mechanical elements are so much better than in cheaper pocket-size umbrellas. If this doesn't prove the case, I'll be disappointed.
The headline correctlydescribes it
By LJT of NJ
from Moorestown, NJ
It opens great, but the problem is that I cannot get it to close easily. I press the open/close button, but then I have to press the half open umbrella against me and push it down with my hand from the top really hard. It is a struggle because it keeps wanting to open again. I bought two....plum and black and they both are the same problem
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Thank you for your comments. The button automatically closes the canopy, but the handle closes similar to a standard umbrella, with a push.

Umbrella = Plum
By Dhhw13
from Raleigh, NC
Love this compact umbrella as it carries easily in my purse and/or brief case
This product was just what I wanted!
By Jennipher
from Silver Spring, MD
I like the size- small and compact. I just put it in my tote bag and take it to work everyday, because I never know when I will need it.

(TMZ) - Sorry gentlemen, Mama June is officially off the market, 'CAUSE SHE'S FINALLY MARRIED, TMZ has learned.
The "Honey Boo Boo" star is got hitched to her special man friend Sugar Bear, for a special Cinco de Mayo wedding fiesta!
FYI - Mama (real name June Shannon) and Sugar Bear (real name Mike Thompson) met in an online chat room 9 years ago, hit it off, shacked up, popped out a now-famous kid -- Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson.
But this wasn't no private small shindig - according to the wedding invitation, obtained by TMZ, cameras were rolling during the ceremony, and will most likely air on TLC.
In fact, wedding guests were been warned - "No cell phones, cameras, or outside video taping will be allowed."
Fun Fact - TMZ reports that the people working the wedding were instructed to show up in full redneck attire (either hot pink or camo clothing).

Cubs, D-backs wearing 100-year-old throwback jerseys for Wrigley Field's birthday
For Wrigley Field's 100th anniversary, being celebrated Wednesday by the Chicago Cubs, it's probably not a huge surprise that the team chose to wear throwback jerseys. But the specific jerseys that the Cubs and the opposing Arizona Diamondbacks donned aren't your average MLB throwbacks.
The Cubs won't be wearing Cubs jerseys at all and the D-backs won't be representing Arizona, rather Kansas City. The teams are honoring the first major-league game played at Wrigley Field, back on April 23, 1914. It was actually called Weeghman Field back then, and the Chicago Federals played the Kansas City Packers in the first game. Both teams were from the Federal League.
Check out the threads:

— Arizona Diamondbacks (@Dbacks) April 23, 2014
The jerseys the Cubs are wearing are particularly sharp. The team is also giving out replicas to the first 30,000 fans inside the Wrigley Field gates.
The attention-to-detail for the Wrigley 100th is admirable. The Cubs grounds crew is wearing Weeghman Park jackets and the teams are wearing retro batting helmets too.

WATCH: Donald Sterling's insane attempt at damage control fails miserably
A prime-time interview after a scandal can be a godsend for embattled celebrities—a mea culpa, an opportunity to reclaim public opinion, a first shot at endearing themselves enough to overshadow previous wrongdoings.
Not so for Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling, who appeared on Anderson Cooper 360 on Monday night for his first interview since a scandal that has cost him his reputation, his NBA affiliation, and, quite possibly, his team. Sitting down opposite Cooper with what must have been the intention to redeem himself after a tape of his racist rants hit the media two weeks ago, Sterling stumbled spectacularly.
Far from achieving even a sliver of vindication, he destroyed any chance at recovering from what has become a kamikaze-style implosion. The wild remarks Sterling made to Cooper—about Jews, African Americans, and what he sees as his sainted status in the NBA—ensure his scandal won't be going away anytime soon.
He Was Tricked
Sterling's attempts to pull off a repentant attitude came across unconvincingly. The voice on the leaked phone call speaking to alleged girlfriend V. Stiviano was his, he said, but he was forced or lured into saying those things he didn't really mean, and he is not, repeat not, a racist.
"I don't know why the girl had me say those things," he said, blaming Stiviano for his words but refusing to refer to her by name. "I was baited. That's not the way I talk."
He played the vulnerable senior citizen card, claiming he was seduced into making a racist rant on technology he didn't understand. "An 80-year-old man is kind of foolish, and I'm kind of foolish," he said, adding that he was deluding himself about Stiviano's feelings about him and their 50-year-old age difference (at this point he even cried momentarily).
He still seems to admire her, though while he was speaking about her humble upbringing he said, "She's still a street person." And of her appearance, he said, "100 men could look at her and perhaps they wouldn't even think she's pretty, but she's something special." But when pressed on the nature of their relationship—which Stiviano has characterized as platonic—Sterling clammed up. "I don't know what you mean by intimate," he stuttered in reply to Cooper's question. "I don't think a gentleman should discuss any personal items that go on with a woman."
Also, He's Not Racist, but Anderson Cooper Is
Grilled about whether his statements stemmed from racism or jealousy, as he has claimed, Sterling started to stumble. Alternating between expressing confusion about why he said those things—some variation of "I can't explain some of the stupid foolish uneducated words I muttered, you get upset and you say things" and "I don't know why I said stupid things"—he turned the tables on Cooper.
"I think you have more of a plantation mentality than I do," he said. "You're more of a racist than I am."
After firing that off, he clumsily asked what a plantation mentality is.
Actually, Magic Johnson Is the Real Villain Here
Magic Johnson's role in the scandal—he was among the men Sterling called Stiviano out for being seen with—was perhaps the most offensive part of the interview. At first, Sterling declined to talk about the basketball legend, praising his talents but calling him "irrelevant in this thing." Then Sterling viciously turned on him, saying Johnson had deceived him with promises of help, that he supposedly wanted to buy the team, and then—
"What has he done?" he asked Cooper, but quickly cut off his answer with: "He's got AIDS."
"I just don't think he's a good example to the children of Los Angeles...that he would go do what he did and then get AIDS."

The GOP already has a 2016 front-runner... for Vice President
Ask any two Republicans who their choice is for president in 2016 and you'll get three answers; but when it comes to the GOP choice for vice president, there's an emerging sense of agreement, especially in the establishment wing of the party: Senator Kelly Ayotte.
The field of potential top of the ticket candidates include a wide range of possibilities: Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, Chris Christie, Ted Cruz, Scott Walker, Mike Pence, and many more. Any of them could benefit from sharing the spotlight with a conservative woman rising star who has real national security bona fides and hails from the state with the first primary elections in the 2016 cycle.
"Her prospects are good. Why not Pence-Ayotte or Walker-Ayotte?" said Weekly Standard Editor and conservative power-broker Bill Kristol. "Defense and foreign policy will be a big issue, and she's a leader on that. And since she's already on the vice presidential short list, she might want to look at running for the top job."
Compared to some of the other prospective candidates, Ayotte's resume stacks up. Ayotte, who is also up for reelection in 2016, came into the senate at the same time as Paul and Rubio and has two years more experience as a legislator than Cruz. Steve Schmidt, who managed John McCain's 2008 presidential bid, said that the other GOP senators vying for national office all have huge flaws whereas Ayotte does not.
"There are fundamental questions around their electability and around Paul's ability on some issues to navigate himself toward the majority opinion of the GOP. Cruz is toxic and has no chance of national electability. Rubio damaged himself during the immigration debate," he said. "The reality for Republicans is that it couldn't possibly be more open."
Ayotte is also one of the only female GOP top personalities that could counter a Democratic ticket with Hillary Clinton at its top, and at a time when the Republican party has been reeling from a number of scandals that have left the party vulnerable to the accusation that they are not savvy at courting the women's vote.
Schmidt, who was instrumental in the choice of Sarah Palin to be the GOP's last female vice presidential candidate, now says that the lesson of the Palin episode is that national candidates – especially national female candidates -- have to be able to convince the voters they are ready to be president on day one.
"Ayotte could turn the 'war on women' narrative into a punch line," said Schmidt. "In the category of those really talented women who can really break into the next level, I think Kelly Ayotte stands out. She has a lot of skills. There's no on-the-job training and she's clears that hurdle."
He also agrees with Kristol that if Ayotte wants to be considered for vice president, she might consider exploring a run for the top job.
"The best way in a year when the field is as open as it is, the best way to be picked as vice president it to mount a presidential campaign. Show you can navigate that, sharpen your skills, and see how far you can go in that process," he said. "Kelly Ayotte has every potential to be able to do those things, but as of yet she has not yet been tested on the national stage."

Cassadee Pope connects with second single
Listen to Cassadee Pope on iHeartRadio
Cassadee Pope says she was instantly drawn to her second single.
The country singer tells Billboard.com when she first heard "I Wish I Could Break Your Heart" a wave of "weird emotions" swept over her, and she "loved it right away." She explains that she "knew what that felt like," and had "felt that before in past relationships."
Cassadee adds that while a man sang the demo, she never thought the song was specifically "from a guy's perspective."
"I Wish I Could Break Your Heart" is Pope's follow up to her top ten hit, "Wasting All These Tears." Both songs are on her debut album, Frame By Frame.

Why Birds Are Igniting in Midair Over California
(NEWSER) – A cutting-edge solar technology in California's Mojave Desert may have a bit too much cut.
Wildlife officials say they've counted one bird being scorched to death every two minutes by intensely focused rays of light at the BrightSource Energy plant, considered the largest solar thermal power plant of its kind in the world.
The solar complex uses more than 300,000 mirrors the size of garage doors to focus the sun's power toward "power towers" as many as 40 stories tall, and can power as many as 140,000 homes.
Google is one of three owners of the plant at Ivanpah Dry Lake, near the Nevada border.

Historic Charcoal Production in the US and Forest Depletion: Development of Production Parameters

Advances in Historical Studies,
Vol.3 No.2,
ABSTRACT: Charcoal was the fuel of choice for the early nineteenth century for iron making and smelting of other metals in the United States. The industry involved massive amount of woodcutting and entire woodlands were depleted. The problem is somewhat exaggerated in the literature. While forest destruction tended to be quite complete near smelters and furnaces, it was generally localized near the demand for the fuel. Many authors attempt to equate furnace production to forest area depletion as one measure of environmental destruction. This is not as easy as it appears. The mathematics seems simple and uses a few basic ratios: furnace yield or bushels of charcoal needed to produce a ton of output; charcoal yield or bushels of charcoal produced from a cord of wood, and forest yield or cubic meters per ha. Different furnaces, colliers, and forests have different yields. Production parameters are critical to estimate productivity and costs. These parameters are discussed in terms of estimation problems and average expected values. This valuable information will make estimation of forest area use in charcoal production more reliable.

WATCH: Carrie Underwood Rocks Out For New Sunday Night Football Intro
Listen to Carrie Underwood Radio on iHeartRadio
Carrie Underwood is ramping up the rock-glam in this year's Sunday Night Football intro. In a strapless dark blue mini, the country powerhouse commands the stage with just her voice, long blonde hair and enviable legs. "It's got a major star in Carrie Underwood," says coordinating producer Fred Gaudelli in a brand new behind-the-scenes teaser. "That's the right person to open up [this show]."
Underwood first stepped into the role last year, taking over the reigns from P!nk (2006) and Faith Hill (2007-2012). "I grew up watching football," Underwood shares. "I have a passion for it and I have a passion for music. It's kind of all of these things get to mesh together for this one event."

Throughout the teaser, various football players (including San Diego Chargers' Philip Rivers and Chicago Bears' Brandon Marshall) comment on what it's like to step out into the limelight in a new way. "It's great to be a part of it," notes Rivers. "It really is. My children are all old enough now. We all sit and watch it ever week."
Directed by Tripp Dixon, the behind-the-scenes video features plenty of action and insider secrets (green screens, trolleys, etc). "I think any time you get great players together and a talent like Carrie, it's gonna be big," Dixon shares of the experience.
Gaudelli adds, "I think the players realize that Sunday Night Football is the #1 show on television - that their faces are going to be up there every single week, welcoming people to the show."
Sunday Night Football returns Thursday, Sept. 4 with the Green Bay Packers take on the Seattle Seahawks.

Walgreens Slapped With Record $80M Oxy Fine
(NEWSER) – Walgreens made history yesterday ... by being ordered to pay the largest fine in the history of the US Controlled Substances Act. The drugstore empire was slugged for $80 million for "an unprecedented number" of violations in its sale of oxycodone and other controlled substances, following a probe by the DEA, USA Todayreports. The agency says Walgreens allowed the highly addictive painkillers to reach the black market by systematically failing to report unusually large or frequent orders from its pharmacies, and dispensing to customers even when their prescription was flagged as problematic.

Luxury home dangles off Texas cliff
(NEWSER) – A $700,000 luxury home with stunning views of Lake Whitney is on the verge of getting a view of the bottom of the Texas lake. A large part of the limestone bluff beneath the home has given way, leaving part of it dangling over a cliff, CBS reports. Army Corps of Engineers experts are keeping an eye on the situation but are expected to let the house fall into the lake instead of intervening. Drought has caused the lake to fall to 11 feet below normal levels, but it's not clear if that played a role in the collapse.

Pelosi grandson opposes U.S. strikes in Syria
If congressional skeptics of going to war with Syria are even half as wary as House Democratic Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's 5-year-old grandson, President Barack Obama's push for lawmakers to approve military strikes will be an uphill fight.
Pelosi, speaking in the White House driveway after talks with Obama and other top lawmakers on Tuesday, described the child's skepticism to reporters.
"My 5-year-old grandson, as I was leaving San Francisco yesterday, he said to me 'Mimi' — that's my name — 'Mimi, war with Syria? Are you yes war with Syria? No war with Syria?'" she said.
"You know he's 5 years old, and war, he's saying 'war,' I mean we're not talking about war, we're talking about an action," she said.
"'Yes war with Syria, no war with Syria?' I said, 'Well what do you think?' He said, 'I think no war,'" she related.
"I said, 'Well, I generally agree with that. But you know they've killed hundreds of children there. They've killed hundreds of children,'" she said.
"And he said — 5 years old — 'Were these children in the United States?'"
"And I said, 'No, but they're children wherever they are.'"
Pelosi underlined how "even a 5-year-old child" has the "wisdom" to ask "how does it affect our interests?"
"It affects our interest because it was, again, outside the circle of civilized behavior. Humanity drew a line decades ago," she said.
Pelosi did not say whether she had successfully convinced the child, whose skepticism reflects that of many Obama supporters in Congress. Even lawmakers inclined to back the president have been asking for a detailed explanation of how his military plan would serve U.S. national interests.
