Bowled Over
**Imgs in folder if useable A minute and a half into the second quarter of the Big 12 championship game, Nebraska safety Courtney Osborne intercepted a Landry Jones pass and returned the ball to the Oklahoma 12-yard line. As Osborne went down, the Sooners’ Ryan Broyles stripped the ball. Oklahoma’s offense returned to the field, and even snapped the ball. But before the snap, Nebraska had taken a 30-second timeout, during which coach Bo Pelini decided to challenge the call. The ruling of an Osborne fumble and Broyles’ recovery was overturned. Two plays and a Sooner penalty later, the Huskers’ Rex Burkhead passed to Kyler Reed for 5 yards and a touchdown. With 12:14 remaining in the half, Nebraska led…

Cosmic Forecast for Dec. 9-15
Here comes/goes Mercury retrograde until Dec. 30. Simply put, anything started after Dec. 30 has a better chance of succeeding than anything initiated before. Communication is a key to joint human endeavors and during such times as these clear, succinct communication often appears questionable or lacking. Vacation until 2011 to better enjoy your upcoming New Year. Tell them it’s your Astrologer’s advice. There are no mistakes. Peace & Love Shall Conquer All. — MOJOPOPlanetPower.com SAGITTARIUS (11.23-12.21) Hold yer horses, Pardner. You’ve got a month and a half until you (should) make your move.

Storm Chasers see record sales
* Despite all the Twitter vitriol the name change from Royals to Storm Chasers appears to be working. The team announced a 475 percent increase in merchandise sales for November. Good enough to place Omaha in the top five in merchandise sales among all Minor League Baseball teams for the month. Not bad considering the team announced the change Nov. 15. If you want some of that new Chasers gear, the last Holiday Sale at Rosenblatt Stadium — and likely your last chance to get into the stadium — runs Dec. 10-13. On your way, pick up a new, unwrapped toy to donate to the Open Door Mission’s Project Santa and you can score a free Rosenblatt poster. * It’s…

Swine Flu Over the Cuckoo’s Nest
Each flu season the dog-and-pony show starts. But this year, health departments countrywide are reporting two very interesting facts: Cases of influenza are lower than usual and fewer people are getting flu shots. Is that coincidence? Each year the Center for Disease Control falsely claims that 36,000 persons die annually in the United States from influenza. In fact, the actual number is in the hundreds, not thousands. CDC’s own data shows that only 257 people died of flu in 2001; only 753 in 2002; 1600 in 2003, viewable at heartlandhealing.com/flu. Fear sells So why does the CDC use the 36,000-a-year claim? It’s my opinion that number is bandied about for one purpose: selling flu shots. The strategy…

Cosmic Forecast for Dec. 2-8
The New Moon in gregarious Sagittarius will really light up the seasonal festivities. There are three Fire signs in the Zodiac. The first, Aries represents the fiery Solar/Martian victory over Winter’s cold. Leo represents basking in Summertime’s afternoon glow. And the “fire” of Sagittarius represents the warmth of human contact and gathering together to survive our coldest season — as if we needed a reason. Let’s get cozy as our cheeks turn rosy? Use this week to create a happy end to Fall, you all. Peace and Love Shall Conquer All. There are no mistakes. — MOJOPOPlanetPower.com SAGITTARIUS (11.23-12.21) Keep your third eye on the first, brightest “star” in the sky. That’s Jupiter, your ruler, high in the…

Ten Traditional Therapies
American medicine kills hundreds of thousands each year. That’s not an exaggeration. Recently it was reported that hospitals kill 15,000 Americans each month. The report wasn’t from some radical fringe health reporter. No, it comes from the United States Department of Health and Human Services, those with a vested interest in keeping the status quo and not rocking the boat. They’re going to be conservative with their estimates. Additionally, the data included only those on Medicare, a fraction of patients. It excludes the vast majority of hospitalizations, so the number of those killed in hospitals is likely much, much higher. Read this carefully A very reliable source places the number of persons killed by American medicine at just under one…

Happy Ending?
Cody Green has heard it before. All quarterbacks hear it. “I’m open. Throw me the ball.” In this case, however, he’s the one making the request. “He’s always harping on me in practice to throw it to him,” Rex Burkhead says with a smile. “I don’t know; I haven’t got the whole trust factor with him yet.” Burkhead was addressing reporters following Nebraska’s 45-17 victory against Colorado on the day after Thanksgiving. With the victory, the Huskers earned a return trip to Saturday night’s Big 12 championship game against Oklahoma at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. And yes, playing the Sooners is a fitting way to finish membership in the Big 12. So anyway, Burkhead had thrown two passes against…
