News of alleged slave laborconditions and unfair economicpractices in the CNMI led to theJuly 30 hearing by the subcommitteeoninsularandinternationalaffairs.
THE CNMI government mustexert greater efforts to get congressional approval of the new702 fundingpackage due to Congress' increasing concern aboutthe federal government's $3 trillion budget deficit according toTim Bruce, the governor's speciallegal counsel.

Well, Saint Valentine's Day ispast. And now, you may besufferingfrom a brokenheart or"heartburn.IIHeartburn is the fiery sensationin the chest caused by reflux.Reflux occurs when the muscular band (sphincter) separatingthe stomachfrom the esophagusstretches. This rubber band effectgenerallyoccursafteramealallowing acidic contents of thestomach to flow upward and"bum" the esophagus.
Many people associateheartburnwithhotspicyfoods.Highlyspiceddishesarenottheprimarycause of that fiery pain. In fact,there is no proof that any foodscause reflux which results inbouts of heartburn.
A properly workingsphincterstretches to allowfoods to enterthe stomach and then closes tokeep foods in. But, a sphincterunder pressure weakens and isunable to block the flow backinto the esophagus.
The pressure is causedby eating too much food at one time;wearing too tight of clothing orbelts, and being overweight.Also, hormonal changes duringpregnancycanalterpressureandbring on heartburn.
Think of your stomach as aballoon. Fill it with air and theballoon stretches. If you gentlypinch theopening(whichisnowworkinglike a sphincter), only asmall amount of air escapes.Now, if you addpressure, in theform of squeezing the balloon,while still gently pinching theopening, more air is forced toescape. Squeezing the balloonhas a similareffect on the stomach as wearing tight clothesor abelt which is too small, or bybeingoverweight. Acidcontentsare pushed up into the esophagus. This acid damages thesensitive tissues lining theesophagus.
Then,oncethedamage isdone,certain foods tend to aggravate,rather than cause, the problem.Foods which tend to aggravatethe situation by affecting pressure are fatty foods, chocolate,andcoffee (bothcaffeinated anddecaffeinated).

concern."Campanelli,whosignedpoint
guard Jason Kidd, one of themost highly soughtprospects inthe nation last year, won 19 ormore games in four of his flrstfive seasons.
"The biggest thing we're intotal agreement on is that theguy wasn't given any hearingbefore theyfired him," saidIowaState coach Johnny Orr, president of the NABC."On the 24thof January he got a phone callfrom the chancellor congratulating him on the good .job hewas doing. He got a letter fromthe guy who fired him sayinggood job, keep it up. Then twoweeks later they fire the guy."
The NABC board consists of16 coaches, including Duke'sMike Krzyzewski,Kansas' Roy,Williams, Southern Cal'sGeorge Raveling andLouisville's Denny Crum.
Haney denied reports theNABC was considering tryingto blackballTodd Bozeman,theassistant coach who was namedinterim head coach to replaceCampanelli. Bozeman has beenaccused by some of trying toundermine Campanelli.
"It's difficult even to respondto that," Haney said. "For us toorganizeintosomethinglikethat,frankly, would be appalling.It'sludicrous to even discuss it."
Cal athletic director BobBockrath wrote to Haney denyingBozeman had anythingtodowith Campanelli's dismissal.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) •The board of directors of theNational Association of Basketball Coaches met by phone for 1hours Monday, talking abouthow and whether to protest thefiring of California coach LouCampanelli.
With a 10-7 record and ayoung, promising team,Campanelli was unexpectedlydismissed last week.
"Our hope at. this time is toissue a statementTuesday," JimHaney, NABC executive director, said. "This firing of coachesat mid-season is an issue that wehave toaddress.Therehavebeenfour sofar thisyearin DivisionI,and we understand two morehave not been announced.
"In this particular case, therearea coupleofbases leftfor ustotouch before we say anything."
The NABC is powerless tostop the firing of coaches,whoanswer to the chief executiveofficer at each school. But thecoaches' group, trying to take amore active, public role, couldbring embarrassment with itscommand of widespread mediaattention. I
"We're very sensitive to thefact that the presidents have theauthority to make decisions,whether we like the decisions ornot," Haney said. "We're tryingto get a sense for what happenedand how it happened and develop an appropriate response.The broader issue of coaches
