Indiana coach Mike Davi s announced last week thai he would resign effective at the end of the season. Davis, who coached the Hoosiers for six seasons, succeeded Ohio State alumnu s Bob Knight as head coach in . 2000. . Ohio State a thletic direclor Gene Smith, speaking from Fforida, said Fnday 1ha1 he is as pleased with Matta's perfonnance as the coach seems to be with hi s situation. "There's no question thill Thad is just what you want .in a coach," Smilh said. "He's done a marvelous job in lhe two years he's been here. I'm · fortunate to work with lOis of great coaches and Thad is one of the best. We want him to be a Buckeye forever." Matta, 38, grew up in Hoopeslon, IlL, as a fap of Indiana basketball, and he has spent several. years of his coaching career in Indiana as an adn~mistrati ve assistant, an assislant coach and lhen the head coach at Butler. His lone Butler team went 24-8 in 2000-200 I before he took the job at Xavier,'where the Musketeers posted records or 26-6, 26:6 and 26-I I in hi s three ·years.

" He has everything he wanls here at Ohio Slate. I can' t picture him going anywhere else." , Mana is in the second year of an eight-year contract that will pay him $1 1 million if he remains al Ohio State for 1he emire term of lhe agreement. Matta said a portion of his contract precludes him from discussing any other jobs, collegiale or NBA, except bel ween lhe final day of the regular season and April l 5. . "I don '1 have the liberty to 1alk abou1 other jobs," he . said. · Malia said he spoke with Smith last week. While not divulgi ng what they discussed. he said, "All I can say is that Gene and I are on lhe same page. I love that about him, lhe communicalion a·nd the openness. It's amazing how he came to me and we talked and we know exactly where both guys are ." Smilh added, "We talked last week and we talked again lhis morning. We ljndersl<,nd there is speculation. All I can .say is he's very happy with us and we're very happy with him ." After Davi s announced his immediale res ignation . speculation in Indiana singled out Iowa coach Steve Alford - a former slar for the Hoosiers - as a possible successor. Mana ·s name also was mentioned becau se of his background at Butler and in the Big Ten . · Ohio State guard Je 'Kel Foster said he's no1 worri~d aboul Mati.a bol ting for his . fourth head coaching job In ' just six years.

INDIANAPOLIS - The link between Matt Leinart and Vince Young grows stronger. In December, they sat together at the Heisman Trophy ceremony. In January, they faced each other lor a national title. Now they're in Indianapolis vying to become the first quarterback chosen in April's NFL draft . Separating them is the challenge. . "Matt's success at Southern Cal . over the last couple of years is almost unprecedented m the history of the school. He understands offense, he undersll!nds defense, and moves the football and makes plays in big games." Tennessee coach Jeff Fisher said Friday. · "Vince, on the other hand, is AP SOURCE: NASCAR 2006 g;,unbnv -a!:illlfS' -&rntmtl • Page Bs Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Leinart, Young hope to .answer one question: Who's better? -------------------------------NASCAR TOP 10 Daytona run shows that Mears is turning the corner BY JENNA FRYER PageB4 a different style of quarterback, cet1ainly if not the top, one of the top athletes coming out of the draft" Leinart . led USC to two straight · national championshtps, then Young's performance in January's Rose Bowl that ended the .Trojans run . Texas won its first outright championship since 1969 and Youtlg's stock rose so quickly he had to skip his senior· season. Leinart stayed in school another year after winning the Heisman in 2004. But while Young was busy e~rning his second straight Rose Bowl MVP .award, Leinart's quest to join Archie Griffin as the only players to win two Heismans ended when Southern Cal teammate Reggie Bush won. Off the field, the players admire each other. "That guy is a freaky runner," Leinart said with a smile . But the battle between Leinart and Young is no longer about jewelry or trophies; tt's about bragging rights, prestige and cold cash. Most people expect Bush to 'be the top p1ck in April with the two quarterbacks expected to go next. The question is who goes first? · Leinart has the stronger NFL pedigree. He's played m a prostyle offense, succeeded Pro Bow I quarterback , Carson Palmer at USC and ·tits the classic dropbaok model. He was listed at 6-foot-5, 225 pounds last year and spent time studying Peyton and Eli Manning as well as Palmer. Plus. he's grown accustomed to the pressures of the NFL. "It's tough being in L.A., being in the limelight and being the only team there that really had success the last couple of ~ears," Leinart said. "I think it s the closest thing to the NFL. I've done tons of interviews, I've seen lots of things happen, so I think I' m very prepared." Young, in contrast, is this year's hot prospect although in the daily two-month evaluation that is the draft, he seems to have slippeda bit lately. Few thought Young was as polished as Leinart when the season started. But after throwing for 267 Y\lfdS and running for 200 more, including the winning touchdown, in the Rose Bowl, Young surged. Team officials love his .athletic ability and strong ann . although Young believes he must prove more to be taken first or second overall. Houston and New Orleans hold the top At thi1 stage, scouts are look· two ptckl . ing for tlaws.

A newborn calf's immune system is not fully developed. The calf must rely on the first milk from the cow, or colostrums, ·until its own immune system · is totally functional - about I to 2 months of age . . : Colostrum contains antibodies (immunoglobulins) necessary to provide the calf protection from disease. To be effective, the calf should receive I quart of colostrum within six hours after birth and a total of 2 to 3 quarts within 12 hours of birth. After this time, the gut begins to c1ose. and it becomes more difficult for the calf to absorb the antibodies found in the colostrum. · Colostrum contains 22 percent solids, compared to 12 percent solids in normal whole cow's milk. Much of the extra solid material is immunoglobulin, but colostrum is also ari important source of protein · (casein), sugar (lactose), ·fat, and vitamins A and E. · The amount of colostrum produced by a cow is affected by breed type (dairy breeds produce more than beef breeds) and cow age·(mature cows,produce more than heifers).

It also applies to retrofitting of existing equipment such as flotation tires. and bridges.The linked· deposit financing mechanism was originally developed in' the 1990s to encourage best management pmctices in agriculture. This program marks the fi(st time it as been applied to forestry practices. A review panel works with applicants, ensuring they are ceJ[ified through the voluntary Ohio Master Logger Program and determining if equipment is eligible for financing. The review panel also makes sure applicants have filed Silvicultural Operation and Management Plans with the appropriate county soil and water conservation district and that th0se plans will be monitored throughout the project.

The first such purchase of low-impact equipment through the conservation financing program was recently completed.The Linked Deposit Program is adminisby the Ohio tered Environmental Protection Agency with technical support ,from the Ohio Department of Natura.! Resources (ODNR) Division of Forestry. Promoting the use of lowimpact harvestmg equipment is a key part of the division's Ohio Forestry Initiative. Redoutey Logging of McDermott became the first company to use the program by securing a seven-year, $3.35,000 loan through US Bank. Through the Linked Deposit Program, the lending rate was reduced from 7.25 perce nt to 3.75 percent , re sulting in ~ a savi ngs of approximately $40,000 over the life of the loan. "This program will increase the use of best management practices and environmentally friendly equipment m Ohio's loggi ng industry," said John Dorka, chief of the ODNR Division of Forestry. "We expect that this is the first of many potential success stories in promoting the use of low impact equipment.''
