Trio of Suns picked for All-Star game NEW YORK (APl- One bad night may have overshadowed all the good Carmelo Anthony has done this season. The NBA's leading scorer was not among the seven reserves announced Thursday night for the Western Conference team that will play in the NBA All-Star game. Denver teammate Allen Iverson was chosen, extending his streak of consecutive All -Star appearances to eight. He started the last seven games whi le playing for Philadelphia. Anthony. who is averaging 3 1.3 points but missed 15 games while suspended for his role in the brawl at Madison Square Garden, was the most obvious omiss ion. Earlier Thursday, Anthony said he hoped his suspensian wouldn' t prevent him from earning his first AllStar spot. "I hope no one holds that over my head over anything," he said. "Thin gs happen. One incident like that is held over one person's head. life ain 't fair. "I did my punishment. I could've easily kepi my name out there by appealing it and doin g oth er stuff about it, but I just did my 15, fully pullhat behind us ." Steve Nash , Amare Stoudemire and Sh<lwn Marion were all chosen from the Phoenix Suns, but Dirk Nowitzki was the only player picked from the Dallas Mavericks , who have the leag ue's best recmd. The Mavericks had been hoping Josh Howard would be selected as well. Detroit and New Jersey had muiliple reserve s pkked for the Feb. 18 game. Chauncey Billups and Richard Hamilton, who both made their first appearances last season, are goin£ back, and Jason Kidd and Vince Carter will represent the Nets in the game at UNLV's Thomus & Mack Center. Indiana's Jermlline 0' Neal and first -timers Dwight Howard of Orlando and Caron Butler of Washington round out the East reserves. The seven reserves were voted on by the head coa,hes in their respective confere nces. Coaches cou ldn 't vole for their own players, and had to se lect two forwards, two guards, a center and two players regardless of their position. The remainder of the West reserves were San Antonio guard Tony Parker and Utah The starters were announced las1 Thijrsday. LeBron James , Shaquille O ' Neal , Chris Bosh , Dwyane Wade and Gilbert Arenas were picked in the East. Tim Duncan , Kevin Garnett, -Yao Ming, Tracy M~:Grady and Kobe Bryant were voted in by fans 10 start for the West. Anthony still has a chance to play in Las Vegas. NBA commissinner David Stern will choose a replacement for Yao, who is sti ll recovering from a broken bone under his knee, and Boozer also could be un available because of a hairline !"raelure in his left leg. He's expected to miss a few wee h. but said Thursday he hopes to return in time for All-Star weekend. He doesn't know when he would need to resume running for that to happen . ''Hopefully if everything works out, it wi ll be right on time, " he said. '"I' II put it like that." Anthony and Josh Howard are the most likely replacement <: hoi.:es, but could face competition for those spots from Seutt le's Ray Allen, Portland's Zach Rand olph. the Clippers' Ehun Brand und another Denver player, Marcus Stern said he expected 10 make his decision in the next few days, and thai when doing so he wouldn 'I consider the suspension he gave Amhony for the punch the Denver star hit the Knicks' Mardy Collins with on Dec. 16.

"Obviously the reason I'm there is because of Ihese three guys and other guys on the Phoenix Suns," D' Antoni said in a statement . "For them to ~el this, that's really spec ial.' Washington's Eddie Jordan is close to clinching the East coaching spol, large ly because of the play of Buller. The forward is averaging 20.6 points and 8.0 rebounds, both career highs. "Coach Jordan gave me more and more freedom and I re~lly thought I had a chance," Butler said . " I dedicated my lime last summer and look what came out of il. I couldn' t be happier with this, but I know there is st ill work 10 be done."

For someone who has been playing nothing but sterling golf of late, Woods tossed hi s club after a botched putt Thursday during the opening round of the Dubai Desert Classic. "Last week I puned ·great and today I didn ' t putt so ~ood," Woods, the defendmg champion, said after his 4-under-par 68. He was three strokes behind leaders Ross Fisher and Graeme McDowell. Ernie Els was another stroke back at 66 in a tie for third with Jose Manuel Lara and Jyoti Randhaw a at th e Emirates Golf Club. Woods' problems started on the second hole, where he drove into a row ·of trees before settling for a bogey. He reclaimed the lost stroke on the par-5 third hole, but he soon encountered another problem on the eighth. While he was swinging, a group of photographers were snapping pictures, causing Woods to send the ball into the long grass on the edge of the fairway. "Nice going guys, thanks," he said sarcastically. On the 12th, Woods missed a short putt and took another bogey. He responded by tossing his club to the ground.

BREC members participating in the water heater swi tc·h program will experience load control. Their heaters will be switched off for periods of time until the danger of peaking passes. Other consumers can help by voluntarily reducing their energy use. "There are things you ~an do to keep comfortable but save kilowatts," said Elliott. To save energy and lower electric bills during frigid periods: . • Limit your use of hot water whenever possible. Electric water heater ther· mostats can be set buck u few degrees to save on energy consumption. • Thm back the thermostat of electric heaters/furnaces a few degrees. Remember that portable space heaters gob· ble power, costing $2-$3 a day to operate. Use them for zone heating, and don't leave them unattended. • Use only one major elec- trical appliance at a time. • Reduce lighting. Turn off lights in rooms not being occupied. Install compact fluorescent lighting, which uses less power. Be aware that high-wattage heat lamps consume large amounts of electricity. • Block cracks around window frames or under outside doors to prevent infiltration of cold air. If you don't have storm windows or doors, cover frames with plastic sheeting. • Close curtains and win· dow blinds, or hang blankets over windows to reduce heat loss. • Set ceiling fans to spin clockwise to draw air upward and keep warm air ctrculating. • When a fireplace is not in use, keep the flue damper tightly closed. • Run small kitchen and bathroom exhaust ventilator fans sparingly, if at all. These fans can p~ll the warm air from a room in an hour or less. Sunday, February 4, 2007 For the Record BIDWELL - Kayla M.

BREC members participating in the water heater swi tc·h program will experience load control. Their heaters will be switched off for periods of time until the danger of peaking passes. Other consumers can help by voluntarily reducing their energy use. "There are things you ~an do to keep comfortable but save kilowatts," said Elliott. To save energy and lower electric bills during frigid periods: . • Limit your use of hot water whenever possible. Electric water heater ther· mostats can be set buck u few degrees to save on energy consumption. • Thm back the thermostat of electric heaters/furnaces a few degrees. Remember that portable space heaters gob· ble power, costing $2-$3 a day to operate. Use them for zone heating, and don't leave them unattended. • Use only one major elec- trical appliance at a time. • Reduce lighting. Turn off lights in rooms not being occupied. Install compact fluorescent lighting, which uses less power. Be aware that high-wattage heat lamps consume large amounts of electricity. • Block cracks around window frames or under outside doors to prevent infiltration of cold air. If you don't have storm windows or doors, cover frames with plastic sheeting. • Close curtains and win· dow blinds, or hang blankets over windows to reduce heat loss. • Set ceiling fans to spin clockwise to draw air upward and keep warm air ctrculating. • When a fireplace is not in use, keep the flue damper tightly closed. • Run small kitchen and bathroom exhaust ventilator fans sparingly, if at all. These fans can p~ll the warm air from a room in an hour or less. Sunday, February 4, 2007 For the Record BIDWELL - Kayla M.

But they will always beat you up . Few stories illustrate that better than the tale former linebac ker Doug Bu ffone told on the eve of the Super Bowl. "We' d j ust lost a close game to Detroit one year and I was really steamed. I'm throwing pieces of my um form around the locker room and suddenly Abe ," Buffone said, referring to former coach Abe Gibron," shows up next to my stool and says, 'What are you so mad about? ' "I said, 'Abe. we lost the damn game .' So he says. 'Yeah, but we knocked 15 Lions out of the game ." ' Thi s is what Colts quarterback Peyton Manning has to look forward to Sunday. a tradition that current middle linebacker Brian Urlacher has tried to live up to from the day he arrived in a tough town seven seasons ago . It begins with the fran chise's gruff founder, George Halas and runs through guys named Nagurski. Atkins. O'Bradovich, George. Ditka, Payton, Hampton and Singletary, and found its perfect expression in a 1985 squad that lost only one game , won a Super Bowl the following January and left dozens of chalk outlines in its wake. "They did everything," Urlacher said . "They took it away. sacked the quarterback. intercepted passes they were dominant. There have been games where we were dominant this year. bu1 they w~re dominant all season . :'If we win the Super Bowl, you're going to see the comparisons, but umil then, there really is none . And that's the only comparison there will be - if we win the Super Bowl. Because numbers-wise," he added. "they blow us out or the water." The 1985 team had a con siderable advantage not just .numbers-wise, but in the number of outsized person alities and the sheer inlimidation they brought to the table every week. One look at middle linebacker Mike Singletary's wild eyes across the line of scrimmage hinted at the fury that was about to be unleashed . And even those lucky enough to avoid Singletary often wound up in the path of his outside tandem, Otis Wilson and Wilber Marshall. "He was kind of like a · viper," · coach Mike Ditka sard, referring to Marshall earlier this week. "He had great leverage. I saw him hit Joe Ferguson in Detroit once. . , I thought he killed h1m. While it's easy to see how Chicago became home and hearth to so many vicious defenders over the years rarely risking high draft picks on golden-armed quarterbacks or soft-handed receivers - why is a matter of some speculation. Some accounts argue a punishing defense was the quickest way to find an audience and keep it in what was decidedly a workingman's town during the league's formative years ; others say the cold, wind and snow that prevailed for much of the season made an offense that relied ori the pass too risky a proposition. Still others. like former Dolphins running back Larry Csonka , mentioned several times by his contemporaries on the Bears as the toughest guy they plaved against. think the barnstorming tours the early Bears teams embarked on set the tone for their toughness in later years. "When the game started, they drew a line in lhe dirt somewhere, went at it . and may the best man win ." he said. "As often as the Be~rs won back then . it became Jim · litke not just their trademark . but their philosophy." Buffone subscribed to the same theory _ " Maybe because by the time I got there," Buffone said, "we already had Butkus and Gale Sayers and the coaches explained it to me this way : 'First we dismantle teams, then we run over them ."' That formula worked well enough for Papa Bear, as Halas was known, since he claimed six NFL tilles separated>by a span of 42 years (192 1-63 ). But Chicago may have stuck with it past the expiration date. A trend toward more wide-open football was already under way when the absorption or the rival American Football League in a 1970 merger boosted offenses like a second-stage rocket. Ever the throwbacks, the Bears simply got nastier wilhout much success. Butkus , arguably the best linebacker who ever played , arrived in 1965 and enjoyed only two winning seasons. Sayers, who got there the same year, didn't fare much better, departing two years earlier than Butkus because he blew out both knees. Walter Payton might have suffered the same fate - the losing, not the injury-shortened career - if the 1985 team didn 't crystallize when it did _ It began to form in 1979 with the selection of Hampton and AI Harris (selected Ia and lb) and stretched through the selection of William "Refrigera.tor" Perry in 1985 . The Bears stockpiled enough backbreakers in between Wilson. Singletary, Todd Bell , Dave Duress, Richard Dent , Marshall and Shaun Gayle - to pick up the franchise 's seventh and last champi onship in New Orleans in 1986. Urlacher & Co. have stirred hope that a team can win relying largely on defense can go against lhe grain and win it all again , much like the Ravens in 200 I and the Buccaneers two years later. But because rule changes since the 1970s have increasingly handcuffed defenders , don't expect these Bears to deliver the same scorched-earth results some of their predecessors did . ''They got away with whatever they wanted back then," Urlacher said. "We get fined for looking at a guy the wrong way. You've got to be careful now . ... It would be awesome if we could (still) do whatever we wanted to do to the quarterback, clothesline players , choke players. That was great." If only he knew how great. "We were so bad," Buffone said, "that sometimes in the defensive huddle, we ' d have a play called 'destroy,' the point being we' d ptck out a receiver on the other team and drill him to take out our frustration. Back then , you could hit a guy anywhere on the field so long as the ball wasn't in the air. Once I flattened Frank Gifford something like 40 yards from the line of scrimmage . It might have been a record ." Csonka disagreed with the last part . "I remember playing against Butkus in the old Orange Bow I and Bob Griese, our quarterback, was so scared of Butkus that he ran out of bounds and kept on running until he made tt to the cinder track that used to ring the field . "Butkus chased him every step of the way," Csonka added . "and flattened him , anyway." &unbav 'Ol:mlrS -*'rntinrl • Page 83 IND I ANAPO L IS COLTS DOLPHIN STADIUM • M IA M I Hester Anderson Addai key ' ' rookie components in Super Bowl MIAMJ (AP) - Hey, kid , he said .

But they will always beat you up . Few stories illustrate that better than the tale former linebac ker Doug Bu ffone told on the eve of the Super Bowl. "We' d j ust lost a close game to Detroit one year and I was really steamed. I'm throwing pieces of my um form around the locker room and suddenly Abe ," Buffone said, referring to former coach Abe Gibron," shows up next to my stool and says, 'What are you so mad about? ' "I said, 'Abe. we lost the damn game .' So he says. 'Yeah, but we knocked 15 Lions out of the game ." ' Thi s is what Colts quarterback Peyton Manning has to look forward to Sunday. a tradition that current middle linebacker Brian Urlacher has tried to live up to from the day he arrived in a tough town seven seasons ago . It begins with the fran chise's gruff founder, George Halas and runs through guys named Nagurski. Atkins. O'Bradovich, George. Ditka, Payton, Hampton and Singletary, and found its perfect expression in a 1985 squad that lost only one game , won a Super Bowl the following January and left dozens of chalk outlines in its wake. "They did everything," Urlacher said . "They took it away. sacked the quarterback. intercepted passes they were dominant. There have been games where we were dominant this year. bu1 they w~re dominant all season . :'If we win the Super Bowl, you're going to see the comparisons, but umil then, there really is none . And that's the only comparison there will be - if we win the Super Bowl. Because numbers-wise," he added. "they blow us out or the water." The 1985 team had a con siderable advantage not just .numbers-wise, but in the number of outsized person alities and the sheer inlimidation they brought to the table every week. One look at middle linebacker Mike Singletary's wild eyes across the line of scrimmage hinted at the fury that was about to be unleashed . And even those lucky enough to avoid Singletary often wound up in the path of his outside tandem, Otis Wilson and Wilber Marshall. "He was kind of like a · viper," · coach Mike Ditka sard, referring to Marshall earlier this week. "He had great leverage. I saw him hit Joe Ferguson in Detroit once. . , I thought he killed h1m. While it's easy to see how Chicago became home and hearth to so many vicious defenders over the years rarely risking high draft picks on golden-armed quarterbacks or soft-handed receivers - why is a matter of some speculation. Some accounts argue a punishing defense was the quickest way to find an audience and keep it in what was decidedly a workingman's town during the league's formative years ; others say the cold, wind and snow that prevailed for much of the season made an offense that relied ori the pass too risky a proposition. Still others. like former Dolphins running back Larry Csonka , mentioned several times by his contemporaries on the Bears as the toughest guy they plaved against. think the barnstorming tours the early Bears teams embarked on set the tone for their toughness in later years. "When the game started, they drew a line in lhe dirt somewhere, went at it . and may the best man win ." he said. "As often as the Be~rs won back then . it became Jim · litke not just their trademark . but their philosophy." Buffone subscribed to the same theory _ " Maybe because by the time I got there," Buffone said, "we already had Butkus and Gale Sayers and the coaches explained it to me this way : 'First we dismantle teams, then we run over them ."' That formula worked well enough for Papa Bear, as Halas was known, since he claimed six NFL tilles separated>by a span of 42 years (192 1-63 ). But Chicago may have stuck with it past the expiration date. A trend toward more wide-open football was already under way when the absorption or the rival American Football League in a 1970 merger boosted offenses like a second-stage rocket. Ever the throwbacks, the Bears simply got nastier wilhout much success. Butkus , arguably the best linebacker who ever played , arrived in 1965 and enjoyed only two winning seasons. Sayers, who got there the same year, didn't fare much better, departing two years earlier than Butkus because he blew out both knees. Walter Payton might have suffered the same fate - the losing, not the injury-shortened career - if the 1985 team didn 't crystallize when it did _ It began to form in 1979 with the selection of Hampton and AI Harris (selected Ia and lb) and stretched through the selection of William "Refrigera.tor" Perry in 1985 . The Bears stockpiled enough backbreakers in between Wilson. Singletary, Todd Bell , Dave Duress, Richard Dent , Marshall and Shaun Gayle - to pick up the franchise 's seventh and last champi onship in New Orleans in 1986. Urlacher & Co. have stirred hope that a team can win relying largely on defense can go against lhe grain and win it all again , much like the Ravens in 200 I and the Buccaneers two years later. But because rule changes since the 1970s have increasingly handcuffed defenders , don't expect these Bears to deliver the same scorched-earth results some of their predecessors did . ''They got away with whatever they wanted back then," Urlacher said. "We get fined for looking at a guy the wrong way. You've got to be careful now . ... It would be awesome if we could (still) do whatever we wanted to do to the quarterback, clothesline players , choke players. That was great." If only he knew how great. "We were so bad," Buffone said, "that sometimes in the defensive huddle, we ' d have a play called 'destroy,' the point being we' d ptck out a receiver on the other team and drill him to take out our frustration. Back then , you could hit a guy anywhere on the field so long as the ball wasn't in the air. Once I flattened Frank Gifford something like 40 yards from the line of scrimmage . It might have been a record ." Csonka disagreed with the last part . "I remember playing against Butkus in the old Orange Bow I and Bob Griese, our quarterback, was so scared of Butkus that he ran out of bounds and kept on running until he made tt to the cinder track that used to ring the field . "Butkus chased him every step of the way," Csonka added . "and flattened him , anyway." &unbav 'Ol:mlrS -*'rntinrl • Page 83 IND I ANAPO L IS COLTS DOLPHIN STADIUM • M IA M I Hester Anderson Addai key ' ' rookie components in Super Bowl MIAMJ (AP) - Hey, kid , he said .

Super Bowl a chance to erase memories, add more for Mannings BY TIM DAHLBERG ASSOCIATED PRE SS MIAMI Archie · Manning stood nervously in the tunnel leading to the tield in Indianapolis during the final minutes of a comeback that would put his middle son in the Super Bowl for the first time. He didn't want the television cameras to see him, didn't want to intrude on the s~tlight. He could barely bring himself to watch. The head of football's most famous quarterback family had endured countless losing seasons as a player himself. Now he was just a proud father, peeking around the comer and pray- . ing that his son would succeed where he never had the chance . Eli Manning, his youngest. paced next to him as the final seconds ticked off the clock and the RCA Dome erupted in jubilation. The Colts were going to the Super Bowl. A Manning had finally won a big one. In the bedlam, Peyton Manning looked for his dad and his brother. The quarterback father and his quarterback sons embraced in a hug born of both jubilation and relief. . "Ma>.'be," Archie Manning said, ' there was a little fate there ." If any family deserved some good karma on the football field, it might be the Mannings. And , if any father deserved a good moment from the NFL . it surely would be Archie Manning. "Obviously my dad knows how difficult 11 is to get there." Eli Manning satd. "He played 15 seasons and never made it to the playoffs. He knows it 's not easy . Everything has to go the right way." Nothing ever seemed to go the right way for Arclite Manning in the NFL. In .a decade and a half, he never played for a winning team, never came close to sniffing the postseason. His team had records like 1-15 and 3-13. Winning a handful of games in one season was cause for celebration. Things were so bad in New Orleans that fans began wearing paper bags over their head because tliey were embarrassed to be m the same stadium with their Aints . The Super Bowl wasn't a goal for this gang of misfits, merely something to watch while grilling burgers on a Sunday afternoon. The losses came early, and they came often. By the time Manning finished 15 years in the NFL in 1984, he had walked off the field with the losing team 139 times. He did it with his head held high . "I don 't look back on it like that. but people do it for me," he said. "Why do that? When !"was a kid alii wanted to do was play. I wanted to be a ball player. And I got to do it for 14 years, through the g~. the bad and the IOJUnes. Still, Manning wanted better for his quanerback kids. They have had their own struggles, despite playing on teams loaded witfl the kind of talent that only came to New Orleans for an occasional Super Bowl in Archie Manning s day. Peyton Manning labored for years with the label "Never Able to Win the Big One" seemingly plastered directly over the No. 18 on his uniform. He has his father's arm and talent, but in eight years as quarterback of the Colts the Super Bowl was always tantalizingly just out of reach. Eli Manning came into the league with great fanfare, but the results after three years so far have been mixed . New Yorkers grumble about his inconsistency as quarterback of the Giants and he often seems flustered on the fieta . Could there be such a thing as a Manning curse? "Nobody has ever asked me that," Archie Manning said. "I'd say absolutely not . I was one of those kids who just wanted to play and I did 1t for 15 years. I wouldn't look at anything Peyton did in his career, whether high school, college, or pro, as any kind of curse . And Eli, well, it's just his second year as the starter." Peyton Manning seemed similarly surprised. "I didn't know there was one until this question," he said. "I have always believed that I would have a chance to play in this game, and hopefully more than one . Obviously, I thought that it would have happened sooner. but we had some chances in earlier years." Actually, the idea of a curse seems almost laughable on the surface. Eli Manning, after all, is already rich, thlinks to a fat signing bonus ,from the Gtants. ~eyton M~nning is even ncher, eammg more money than any other player in the NFL and starnng in more television commercials than Tiger Woods. Archie Manning, meanwhile, is not only a proud dad but still revered in New Orleans, though more so as lovable loser than a franchise savior. That's what happens when your career was spent behind an offensive line that leaked like a rotted rowboat · a¢ a long line of receivers seemed to have hands made of stone. Like any father, Manning a feels for his sons when they struggle because he knows something about losing. He has someumes found htmself feeling for the players on the other side, too. "Back when Peyton was in college I used to think about that because Peyton was on a good team that won most games," Manning said . "I kind of thought about the daddy of the quarterback on the other team, especially when he had a tough day. "Because I know what it's like . I have empathy." Manning, of course, is the only former NR.. player to ever have two sons follow him into the league. It could have been three, because his oldest son, Cooper, was also a promising player before his career was cut short because of a back condition. In family videos, the boys are shown in helmets at an early age running . plays agamst each other m the backyard . But Manning said he never pushed any of his bor,s into P.laying the game. ' I wasn I a big advocate of organized football for kids. I was scared of that," Manning said. "I never coached. 1 never tried to be their offensive coordinator. I saw daddies do that, some former players. I always thought that was scary and danger- ous." That didn't mean dad didn't prepare his sons to be their best. Often he would do it by pegging quotations to the bulletm boards in their rooms . "I hate to lose more than I like to win," was one offering, counesy of tennis player Jimmy Connors. "Pressure is somethinl! you feel only when you don t know what you are doing," was another, from former Pittsburgh coach Chuck Noll. PRESS MIAMI - Stadiums were filled to capacity. TV ratings were high. In most ways, this was another great season for' the NFL. EXcept for this: America's favorite league took some serious hits to its image . The drive-by shooting death of Broncos comeJback Darrent Williams, the arrest of nine Cincinnati Bengals, the specter of petfonnance-enhancing drugs, the untold toll of concussions - all generated tragic and unflattering headlines. Scandal even touched the Super Bowl Bears when Chicago defensive lineman Tank Johnson, arrested late in the season on gun-possession charges after officers said they found six guns at his house during a raid, needed a judge's permission to travel to the gwne. He's in Sunday's game only because a judge granted a defense request allowmg Johnson to leave the state - after a stem wammg to stay out of trouble. So when NFL commissioner Roger Goodell discussed the state of the league Friday, he acknowledged there is work to do . "We are raiSed to a higher standanl m the NFL," Goodell said. Of course, off-field troubles are nothing new for the league, even on its biggest stages. Stanley Wilson's cocaine binge and Eugene Robinson's arrest for soliciting sex just hours before kickoff are among the sordid parts of the Super Bowl legend. But for every unsavory moment, there have been do1.ens of successes: labOr pea!:e, increasing salaries and revenues, strong TV deals and one of the best mai'keting machines in America. That has made this cluster of negative news during the past year that much more shocking. As a result, Goodell and members of the players' union plan to meet with a number of up-and-coming stars during the offseason to discuss, wnong other issues, tlie changing culture of the NFL. '"The {'Crsonal conduct does not reflect the image we want to see," uruon president lroy Vincent said. But even this far-from-perfect season isn't likely to cost the league fan support. About 140 ririllion peo_ple are expected to rune into at least some ~ of the Super Bowl on Sunday, which would again make 11 the most-watched TV program of the year. A recent survey by Scarborougl:l Sports Marlieting found th~t 60 percent of thOse·polled constdenld themselves mterested m the NR..; the next highest rated sport was Major League Baseball with 51 !Xlfcent. "They're right to say, 'This is the golden goose and we don't want to damage this," said Duke literature professor Grant Farred, an expert on sports and culture. "But there has to be a way to let theSegu_ys say, 'This is the way we are.' You have to remember, the NFL more than survived even after one of its best players ever, Lawrence Thylor, was snorting coke. LT never obeyed the rules and he was remarkable because of that." It's a fme line. Because while Thylor hurt himself, this season there was collateral damage. None was more tragic thari the death of Williams, the second-year Broncos cornerback killed in downtown Denver after a New Year's Eve party. Police and news reports said there was an argument at a 'dub, but Williams and bis friends walked away before it escalated. He was killed when a gunman unloaded at least 14 shots into the limo Williams had rented for the evening, though there's been no indication the gunman was specifically targetmg him. · "It's haid to believ!l. because he did everything you want someone to do in a situation like that, and unfortunately, he lost his life," said Gene Upshaw, executive director of the players' union. Then there was the four-game, suspension of San Diego Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman for testing positive for banned substances. That prompted debate on whether star players should be eligible for postseason honors and Pro Bowl trips. A handful of players spoke out against him, and the league condoned their criticism. '"The thing that makes me proudest about that is that players have ~tood up and said, 'We don't want this in the game,"' Goodell said. The NFL drug policy was recently revamped to include more extensive testing for oerfonnance-enhancmg drugs and the addition of the blood-boosting substance EPO to the list of banned substances. The issue of testing for Human Growth Hormone is the next big sticking point. Meanwhile, the subject of concussions heated U(> following claims by former Pablots linebacker Ted Johnson that be was subjected to bani hits in practices run by coach Bill Belichick while recovering from a concussion in 2002. Upshaw said medical concerns should always take precedence when there's a question of whether a player should return to the game. Of course, the machismo culture of football has long pulled P.layers, coaches and trainers in different directions on tssues like these. Sunday, February 4.

This small fis h, a member of the perch fam ily whic h includes yellow perch , wall eye and saugeye (a sauger/walleye hybnd) normally grows fro m nine to 15 inches m length . The body is cyl.indrical with large , dark blotches along the side, but perhaps one of the noticeable characteristics is a mouth full of sharp teeth . They look similar to walleye and saugeye , hut have dark spots along their dorsal fins Saugers are native to Ohio and common in the Ohio River, and can be caught from the shore as well as from boats. For those of us who are not into watching basketball , fishing for sauger is a good way to pass the dark days of winter between the end of football season and NASCAR racing . Unfortunately, at time of writing, this winter hasn't been the best for sauger fishing; perhaps we can blame the warmer-than-normal temperatures or fluctuating water levels . Rest asrured, however, that conditions will eventually be conducive to catching this pol'ular fish. In the Ohio Rtver, saugers are frequently taken by anglers using minnows or lead-headed , curly tailed jigs; cast upstream or into slack water, and slowly retrieve your lure , keeping 11 on or near the bottom. Be warned, you will probably lose plenty of lures while doing this, so bring lots of extras . If you land a sauger, simply repeat what it was you were doing when you caught it; chances are more fish will take your offering. Current Ohio fishing regulations allow anglers to take 10 walleye, sauller or saugeye, singly or m combination . According to the Ohio Division of Wildlife, saugers spawn in the spring when water temperatures reach the upper 40s. Females lay 10,000 to 50,000 adhesive eggs which stick to vegetation, sticks, and stones until they hatch in I0 days or In the Open Jim Freeman more. Saugers prefer to forage for aquatic msects, crayfish, and small fishes during periods of low light (dawn and dusk). The state record fi sh weighs seven pounds, five ounces and is 24.5 inches long . Anglers will want a medium ac tion rod with eight-toten-pound test line using a quarter ounce of weight (or· enough weight to keep your lure at the bottom), the type of reel doesn't seem to make much difference. Look for areas of slack water, where the current breaks or starts to flow upstream along the shore , and cast up into these areas leaving your line free to allow your lure to settle to the bottom or drift downstream. Retrieve your lure with a slow, steady motion, slow enough . to keep your lure close ·to the bottom; you should occasionally feel the bait bump off rocks on the bottom . Saugers usually strike pretty hard, so you should he able to easily tell when you have a strike . Continue with a slow retrieve right up to the shore or boat; sauger are sometimes notorious . for waiting until the last possible instant to strike. If the fishing is going well , don't be surprised to find several other fisherman working the same general area, particularly at the locks and dams. Be couneous , and don' t encroach ·into someone else 's space if you can avoid it. (Jim Freeman is wildlife specialist for the Meigs Soil and Water Conservation District.

Super Bowl a chance to erase memories, add more for Mannings BY TIM DAHLBERG ASSOCIATED PRE SS MIAMI Archie · Manning stood nervously in the tunnel leading to the tield in Indianapolis during the final minutes of a comeback that would put his middle son in the Super Bowl for the first time. He didn't want the television cameras to see him, didn't want to intrude on the s~tlight. He could barely bring himself to watch. The head of football's most famous quarterback family had endured countless losing seasons as a player himself. Now he was just a proud father, peeking around the comer and pray- . ing that his son would succeed where he never had the chance . Eli Manning, his youngest. paced next to him as the final seconds ticked off the clock and the RCA Dome erupted in jubilation. The Colts were going to the Super Bowl. A Manning had finally won a big one. In the bedlam, Peyton Manning looked for his dad and his brother. The quarterback father and his quarterback sons embraced in a hug born of both jubilation and relief. . "Ma>.'be," Archie Manning said, ' there was a little fate there ." If any family deserved some good karma on the football field, it might be the Mannings. And , if any father deserved a good moment from the NFL . it surely would be Archie Manning. "Obviously my dad knows how difficult 11 is to get there." Eli Manning satd. "He played 15 seasons and never made it to the playoffs. He knows it 's not easy . Everything has to go the right way." Nothing ever seemed to go the right way for Arclite Manning in the NFL. In .a decade and a half, he never played for a winning team, never came close to sniffing the postseason. His team had records like 1-15 and 3-13. Winning a handful of games in one season was cause for celebration. Things were so bad in New Orleans that fans began wearing paper bags over their head because tliey were embarrassed to be m the same stadium with their Aints . The Super Bowl wasn't a goal for this gang of misfits, merely something to watch while grilling burgers on a Sunday afternoon. The losses came early, and they came often. By the time Manning finished 15 years in the NFL in 1984, he had walked off the field with the losing team 139 times. He did it with his head held high . "I don 't look back on it like that. but people do it for me," he said. "Why do that? When !"was a kid alii wanted to do was play. I wanted to be a ball player. And I got to do it for 14 years, through the g~. the bad and the IOJUnes. Still, Manning wanted better for his quanerback kids. They have had their own struggles, despite playing on teams loaded witfl the kind of talent that only came to New Orleans for an occasional Super Bowl in Archie Manning s day. Peyton Manning labored for years with the label "Never Able to Win the Big One" seemingly plastered directly over the No. 18 on his uniform. He has his father's arm and talent, but in eight years as quarterback of the Colts the Super Bowl was always tantalizingly just out of reach. Eli Manning came into the league with great fanfare, but the results after three years so far have been mixed . New Yorkers grumble about his inconsistency as quarterback of the Giants and he often seems flustered on the fieta . Could there be such a thing as a Manning curse? "Nobody has ever asked me that," Archie Manning said. "I'd say absolutely not . I was one of those kids who just wanted to play and I did 1t for 15 years. I wouldn't look at anything Peyton did in his career, whether high school, college, or pro, as any kind of curse . And Eli, well, it's just his second year as the starter." Peyton Manning seemed similarly surprised. "I didn't know there was one until this question," he said. "I have always believed that I would have a chance to play in this game, and hopefully more than one . Obviously, I thought that it would have happened sooner. but we had some chances in earlier years." Actually, the idea of a curse seems almost laughable on the surface. Eli Manning, after all, is already rich, thlinks to a fat signing bonus ,from the Gtants. ~eyton M~nning is even ncher, eammg more money than any other player in the NFL and starnng in more television commercials than Tiger Woods. Archie Manning, meanwhile, is not only a proud dad but still revered in New Orleans, though more so as lovable loser than a franchise savior. That's what happens when your career was spent behind an offensive line that leaked like a rotted rowboat · a¢ a long line of receivers seemed to have hands made of stone. Like any father, Manning a feels for his sons when they struggle because he knows something about losing. He has someumes found htmself feeling for the players on the other side, too. "Back when Peyton was in college I used to think about that because Peyton was on a good team that won most games," Manning said . "I kind of thought about the daddy of the quarterback on the other team, especially when he had a tough day. "Because I know what it's like . I have empathy." Manning, of course, is the only former NR.. player to ever have two sons follow him into the league. It could have been three, because his oldest son, Cooper, was also a promising player before his career was cut short because of a back condition. In family videos, the boys are shown in helmets at an early age running . plays agamst each other m the backyard . But Manning said he never pushed any of his bor,s into P.laying the game. ' I wasn I a big advocate of organized football for kids. I was scared of that," Manning said. "I never coached. 1 never tried to be their offensive coordinator. I saw daddies do that, some former players. I always thought that was scary and danger- ous." That didn't mean dad didn't prepare his sons to be their best. Often he would do it by pegging quotations to the bulletm boards in their rooms . "I hate to lose more than I like to win," was one offering, counesy of tennis player Jimmy Connors. "Pressure is somethinl! you feel only when you don t know what you are doing," was another, from former Pittsburgh coach Chuck Noll. PRESS MIAMI - Stadiums were filled to capacity. TV ratings were high. In most ways, this was another great season for' the NFL. EXcept for this: America's favorite league took some serious hits to its image . The drive-by shooting death of Broncos comeJback Darrent Williams, the arrest of nine Cincinnati Bengals, the specter of petfonnance-enhancing drugs, the untold toll of concussions - all generated tragic and unflattering headlines. Scandal even touched the Super Bowl Bears when Chicago defensive lineman Tank Johnson, arrested late in the season on gun-possession charges after officers said they found six guns at his house during a raid, needed a judge's permission to travel to the gwne. He's in Sunday's game only because a judge granted a defense request allowmg Johnson to leave the state - after a stem wammg to stay out of trouble. So when NFL commissioner Roger Goodell discussed the state of the league Friday, he acknowledged there is work to do . "We are raiSed to a higher standanl m the NFL," Goodell said. Of course, off-field troubles are nothing new for the league, even on its biggest stages. Stanley Wilson's cocaine binge and Eugene Robinson's arrest for soliciting sex just hours before kickoff are among the sordid parts of the Super Bowl legend. But for every unsavory moment, there have been do1.ens of successes: labOr pea!:e, increasing salaries and revenues, strong TV deals and one of the best mai'keting machines in America. That has made this cluster of negative news during the past year that much more shocking. As a result, Goodell and members of the players' union plan to meet with a number of up-and-coming stars during the offseason to discuss, wnong other issues, tlie changing culture of the NFL. '"The {'Crsonal conduct does not reflect the image we want to see," uruon president lroy Vincent said. But even this far-from-perfect season isn't likely to cost the league fan support. About 140 ririllion peo_ple are expected to rune into at least some ~ of the Super Bowl on Sunday, which would again make 11 the most-watched TV program of the year. A recent survey by Scarborougl:l Sports Marlieting found th~t 60 percent of thOse·polled constdenld themselves mterested m the NR..; the next highest rated sport was Major League Baseball with 51 !Xlfcent. "They're right to say, 'This is the golden goose and we don't want to damage this," said Duke literature professor Grant Farred, an expert on sports and culture. "But there has to be a way to let theSegu_ys say, 'This is the way we are.' You have to remember, the NFL more than survived even after one of its best players ever, Lawrence Thylor, was snorting coke. LT never obeyed the rules and he was remarkable because of that." It's a fme line. Because while Thylor hurt himself, this season there was collateral damage. None was more tragic thari the death of Williams, the second-year Broncos cornerback killed in downtown Denver after a New Year's Eve party. Police and news reports said there was an argument at a 'dub, but Williams and bis friends walked away before it escalated. He was killed when a gunman unloaded at least 14 shots into the limo Williams had rented for the evening, though there's been no indication the gunman was specifically targetmg him. · "It's haid to believ!l. because he did everything you want someone to do in a situation like that, and unfortunately, he lost his life," said Gene Upshaw, executive director of the players' union. Then there was the four-game, suspension of San Diego Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman for testing positive for banned substances. That prompted debate on whether star players should be eligible for postseason honors and Pro Bowl trips. A handful of players spoke out against him, and the league condoned their criticism. '"The thing that makes me proudest about that is that players have ~tood up and said, 'We don't want this in the game,"' Goodell said. The NFL drug policy was recently revamped to include more extensive testing for oerfonnance-enhancmg drugs and the addition of the blood-boosting substance EPO to the list of banned substances. The issue of testing for Human Growth Hormone is the next big sticking point. Meanwhile, the subject of concussions heated U(> following claims by former Pablots linebacker Ted Johnson that be was subjected to bani hits in practices run by coach Bill Belichick while recovering from a concussion in 2002. Upshaw said medical concerns should always take precedence when there's a question of whether a player should return to the game. Of course, the machismo culture of football has long pulled P.layers, coaches and trainers in different directions on tssues like these. Sunday, February 4.

Wahama will return to action Monday when Buffalo travels to Mason . When it comes to fishing the Ohio Rive r, one of the most popular species, if not the most popular, is the sauger. This small fis h, a member of the perch fam ily whic h includes yellow perch , wall eye and saugeye (a sauger/walleye hybnd) normally grows fro m nine to 15 inches m length . The body is cyl.indrical with large , dark blotches along the side, but perhaps one of the noticeable characteristics is a mouth full of sharp teeth . They look similar to walleye and saugeye , hut have dark spots along their dorsal fins Saugers are native to Ohio and common in the Ohio River, and can be caught from the shore as well as from boats. For those of us who are not into watching basketball , fishing for sauger is a good way to pass the dark days of winter between the end of football season and NASCAR racing . Unfortunately, at time of writing, this winter hasn't been the best for sauger fishing; perhaps we can blame the warmer-than-normal temperatures or fluctuating water levels . Rest asrured, however, that conditions will eventually be conducive to catching this pol'ular fish. In the Ohio Rtver, saugers are frequently taken by anglers using minnows or lead-headed , curly tailed jigs; cast upstream or into slack water, and slowly retrieve your lure , keeping 11 on or near the bottom. Be warned, you will probably lose plenty of lures while doing this, so bring lots of extras . If you land a sauger, simply repeat what it was you were doing when you caught it; chances are more fish will take your offering. Current Ohio fishing regulations allow anglers to take 10 walleye, sauller or saugeye, singly or m combination . According to the Ohio Division of Wildlife, saugers spawn in the spring when water temperatures reach the upper 40s. Females lay 10,000 to 50,000 adhesive eggs which stick to vegetation, sticks, and stones until they hatch in I0 days or In the Open Jim Freeman more. Saugers prefer to forage for aquatic msects, crayfish, and small fishes during periods of low light (dawn and dusk). The state record fi sh weighs seven pounds, five ounces and is 24.5 inches long . Anglers will want a medium ac tion rod with eight-toten-pound test line using a quarter ounce of weight (or· enough weight to keep your lure at the bottom), the type of reel doesn't seem to make much difference. Look for areas of slack water, where the current breaks or starts to flow upstream along the shore , and cast up into these areas leaving your line free to allow your lure to settle to the bottom or drift downstream. Retrieve your lure with a slow, steady motion, slow enough . to keep your lure close ·to the bottom; you should occasionally feel the bait bump off rocks on the bottom . Saugers usually strike pretty hard, so you should he able to easily tell when you have a strike . Continue with a slow retrieve right up to the shore or boat; sauger are sometimes notorious . for waiting until the last possible instant to strike. If the fishing is going well , don't be surprised to find several other fisherman working the same general area, particularly at the locks and dams. Be couneous , and don' t encroach ·into someone else 's space if you can avoid it. (Jim Freeman is wildlife specialist for the Meigs Soil and Water Conservation District.

There is a growin~ body of evidence that vitamin B 12 deficiency - possibly even a slight deficiency - is linked with shakiness, muscte· weakness, Becky incontinence, vision probNesbitt lems, mood disturbances and even dementia. In fact, a study of 84 subjects over age 69, reported in the December 2006 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, found a strong association between vitamin B 12 deficiency and decreased cognitive function, especially regarding language comprehension and expression. Vitamin B 12 deficiency is rare, but older people may, in fact, benefit from taking a supplement. First - even if you're in good health- you may want to discuss this wtth ¥our doctor to be sure it's a good idea for you, espectally considering any other supplements or medications you may be taking. The body uses vitamin Bl2 to make DNA and to keep nerve cells and red blood cells healthy. Many foods contain vitamin B 12, but it,s primarily found in animal products, meat, poultry, eggs, milk and other dairy foods. Although B 12 is a water-soluble vitamin, the body can store several years, worth of it, so most people maintain healthy levels. However, research is indicating that B 12 deficiency in older people is more common than once believed. That may have something to do with a lower amount of stomach acid in older people . In food, vitamin B 12 is found within protein, and hydrochloric acid in the stomach is needed to unleash the vitamin from the protein. Older people tend to have less stomach acid, so taking a supplement might be helpful. In a supplement, the vitamin isn't bound to a protein, so stomach acid isn't needed to make it available to the bloodstream. Vitamin B 12 deficiency is also more common in strict vegans who don't eat animal protein, and in people with a disease called pernicious anemia, in which a person lacks a substance called "intrinsic factor," or IF, which moves B 12 from the intestinal tract into the bloodstream. The recommended dietary allowance for adults is 2.4 micrograms a day. You can get this amount over the course of the day by eating a cup of plain low-fat yogurt, a hard-boiled egg and a chicken breast. Or, you can get it all at breakfast, for example, with one cup of milk with one cup of raisin bran. Many authorities recommend people 50 and older to take a daily supplement with as much as 25 to I00 micrograms of vitamin B 12 to maintain healthy vitamin B 12 levels.

There is a growin~ body of evidence that vitamin B 12 deficiency - possibly even a slight deficiency - is linked with shakiness, muscte· weakness, Becky incontinence, vision probNesbitt lems, mood disturbances and even dementia. In fact, a study of 84 subjects over age 69, reported in the December 2006 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, found a strong association between vitamin B 12 deficiency and decreased cognitive function, especially regarding language comprehension and expression. Vitamin B 12 deficiency is rare, but older people may, in fact, benefit from taking a supplement. First - even if you're in good health- you may want to discuss this wtth ¥our doctor to be sure it's a good idea for you, espectally considering any other supplements or medications you may be taking. The body uses vitamin Bl2 to make DNA and to keep nerve cells and red blood cells healthy. Many foods contain vitamin B 12, but it,s primarily found in animal products, meat, poultry, eggs, milk and other dairy foods. Although B 12 is a water-soluble vitamin, the body can store several years, worth of it, so most people maintain healthy levels. However, research is indicating that B 12 deficiency in older people is more common than once believed. That may have something to do with a lower amount of stomach acid in older people . In food, vitamin B 12 is found within protein, and hydrochloric acid in the stomach is needed to unleash the vitamin from the protein. Older people tend to have less stomach acid, so taking a supplement might be helpful. In a supplement, the vitamin isn't bound to a protein, so stomach acid isn't needed to make it available to the bloodstream. Vitamin B 12 deficiency is also more common in strict vegans who don't eat animal protein, and in people with a disease called pernicious anemia, in which a person lacks a substance called "intrinsic factor," or IF, which moves B 12 from the intestinal tract into the bloodstream. The recommended dietary allowance for adults is 2.4 micrograms a day. You can get this amount over the course of the day by eating a cup of plain low-fat yogurt, a hard-boiled egg and a chicken breast. Or, you can get it all at breakfast, for example, with one cup of milk with one cup of raisin bran. Many authorities recommend people 50 and older to take a daily supplement with as much as 25 to I00 micrograms of vitamin B 12 to maintain healthy vitamin B 12 levels.

Every day there is a to celebrate. reason Librarians· traditionally use Chase's Calendar of Events to track special months or days to anticipate information needs or to plan celebrations to promote hooks. Online resources now enable us to find a wider variety of days to celebrate- from the historic to the "bizarre." A web site, http://library.thinkquest.org/ 2886/feb.htm describes a few of the more bizarre holidays. The one I like is "hoodie hoo" day (Feb. 20) when at noon everyone yells "hoodie hoo" to chase away the winter blues. I also thought "Do a grouch a favor day" might be fun but who wants to be on the receiving end? Anyway, the holidays which "go together" have to do with romance and friendship- and health. It is American Heart Month. It is International Friendship Month. It is also Responsible Pet Owners Month and National Wild Bin.l Feeding Month. Finally, it is Library Lovers' Month. Libraries have information on how to keep your heart healthy, your friendships alive. and your pets and birds safe and well fed . Libraries also have book>, music and movies to erase boredom. create friendships, and enhance romance. Nora Roberts is a prolific writer of romance. Four of her novels have been turned into movies which will be shown on television this month: Angels Fall. Bl1ie Smoke. Carolina Moon and Monta11a Sky.

Laura Bush promotes women's heart-health at NY Fashion Week Bv PAT MILTON ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER NEW YORK - First lady Laura Bush helped women's health advocate ~ paint the town red on Friday - promoting heart health and attending a Fashion Week show awash in Big Apple hues. Mrs. Bush, dressed in a .crimson suit heralding the heart theme - or wa~ it a historical nod to "Nancy Reagan Red'"1 - urged America's women to get out and walk to improve their cardiac health. "Walking sure is a great stress reli~, provided you put down the (work) papers and the cell phone," the first lady said at the Bryant Park Hotel. "I love to walk ." she said - be it at Camp David, her family 's Texas ram:h or on a tTeadmill at the White House gym. The heart health theme was. discussed in an informal. private dialogue that inducted about 12 prominent women cardiologists :nd other advocates. It was ~ ugge s ted that women take a daily walk with a friend, spouse or dog. "Barney can't even walk. He's obese, I think," Mrs. Bush quipped about the First Canine. Afterward, Mrs. Bush and women from the discussion went across the street to the fashion tents at Bryant Park to view the upbeat "Red Dress Collection of 2007" show. which included red-hot designs by Betsey Johnson, Donna Karan, Ralph Lauren, Oscar De La Renta and Ellen Tracy, among others. The crowd cheered as tenni s legend Billie Jean King, looking sexy in a red pantsuit by Gustavo Cadile, wiggled and waved her way down the runway. Mrs. Bush made her appearances as ambassador of a five-year-old national campaign called Heart Truth. The participants, who included Dr. Elizabeth Nabel, director of the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, stressed that women's heartattack symptoms can be different than men's, and said women should be proactive - seeing their doctors. taking· mess tests, exercising and watching their diets.

Her father, Dan, was a Vietnam vet, a "tunnel rat" who volunteered to explore and clear the tunnels beneath the earth from which the Viet Cong launched attacks. There were supply dumps, hospitals, kitchens, sleeping quarters, an amazing maze of underground facilities beneath the jungle. Danielle 's mother was her father's second wife, and she had a younger sister and brother, as well as a halfbrother and a half-sister her father would never claim. The marriage was a .stormy one, most! y due to the husband's abuse of alcohol. He was possessive of his wife, did not like her working, was "relentlessly mean and paranoid," but earned a living for his family by bricklaying. Mom sought her independence and finally divorced Dan when Danielle was 12. She remarried shortly after the divorce. Danielle chose to remain with her father, while the two younger children stayed with their mother. He took the girl into Roscoe's, the neighborhood tavern, where he was a regular.

Book examines how U.S. history has fit into world history BY CARL HARTMAN FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS "Dangerous Nation: America's Place in the World From Its Earliest Days to the Dawn of the Twentieth Century." By Robert Kagan. Knopf 527 · Pages. $30. ••• A new book argues that even in its earliest days, the new nation of the United States took strong stands in dealing with other countries. The book, "Dangerous Nation," is written by Robert Kagan, veteran of four years in the State Department under President Reagan. He says that Alexander Hamilton, born on a Caribbean island, wanted a maritime empire like Britain's. "But most of Hamilton's colleagues, such as the Virginians Washington and Jefferson and the Pennsylvanian (Benjamin) Franklin were determined territorial imperialists who · looked westward across the continent for America's destiny." Anyone looking westward in 1776 was bound to see territory claimed at various times by Britain, France imd Spain - all major powers. Kagan sees the Declaration of Independence, asserting God-given human rights without regard to nationality, as bringing in a new idea for international relations. He sees that idea as often violating the old rule that governments need not meddle in the domestic affairs of another - no matter how brutal and despotic the other may be. "Americans from the beginning were interested not only in protecting and advancing their material well-being," Kagan writes, but they also believed their own fate was "tied to the cause· of liberalism and republicanism both within and beyond their borders." He ends his book with the outbreak of the SpanishAmerican War. promising another book to complete a two-volume history of U.S. foreign policy. That contlict with Spain about Cuba . he . says, stgnaled a debate on that polit-y: " It echoed similar debates stretching back to the birth of the nation," he writes. "It also foreshadow'ed the debates that would recur throughout the 20th century and into the 21st between those who sought to employ America's increasing power to advance American inlluence and principles, and those who worried about the harmful etl'ects of such an approach both to democrati.: institutions at home and to peoples and nations abroad." He cites dozens of statements and events, many familiar only to historians, to illustrate his theme of he differs with historians camps there, one of Spain's American international who condemn the war with last American colonies. as activism.

ON THE BOOKSHELF Page Cs Sunday, February 4, 2007 • READ MORE ABOUT IT Put a little romance in your life Americans love celebmtions. Every day there is a to celebrate. reason Librarians· traditionally use Chase's Calendar of Events to track special months or days to anticipate information needs or to plan celebrations to promote hooks. Online resources now enable us to find a wider variety of days to celebrate- from the historic to the "bizarre." A web site, http://library.thinkquest.org/ 2886/feb.htm describes a few of the more bizarre holidays. The one I like is "hoodie hoo" day (Feb. 20) when at noon everyone yells "hoodie hoo" to chase away the winter blues. I also thought "Do a grouch a favor day" might be fun but who wants to be on the receiving end? Anyway, the holidays which "go together" have to do with romance and friendship- and health. It is American Heart Month. It is International Friendship Month. It is also Responsible Pet Owners Month and National Wild Bin.l Feeding Month. Finally, it is Library Lovers' Month. Libraries have information on how to keep your heart healthy, your friendships alive. and your pets and birds safe and well fed . Libraries also have book>, music and movies to erase boredom. create friendships, and enhance romance. Nora Roberts is a prolific writer of romance. Four of her novels have been turned into movies which will be shown on television this month: Angels Fall. Bl1ie Smoke. Carolina Moon and Monta11a Sky.

Laura Bush promotes women's heart-health at NY Fashion Week Bv PAT MILTON ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER NEW YORK - First lady Laura Bush helped women's health advocate ~ paint the town red on Friday - promoting heart health and attending a Fashion Week show awash in Big Apple hues. Mrs. Bush, dressed in a .crimson suit heralding the heart theme - or wa~ it a historical nod to "Nancy Reagan Red'"1 - urged America's women to get out and walk to improve their cardiac health. "Walking sure is a great stress reli~, provided you put down the (work) papers and the cell phone," the first lady said at the Bryant Park Hotel. "I love to walk ." she said - be it at Camp David, her family 's Texas ram:h or on a tTeadmill at the White House gym. The heart health theme was. discussed in an informal. private dialogue that inducted about 12 prominent women cardiologists :nd other advocates. It was ~ ugge s ted that women take a daily walk with a friend, spouse or dog. "Barney can't even walk. He's obese, I think," Mrs. Bush quipped about the First Canine. Afterward, Mrs. Bush and women from the discussion went across the street to the fashion tents at Bryant Park to view the upbeat "Red Dress Collection of 2007" show. which included red-hot designs by Betsey Johnson, Donna Karan, Ralph Lauren, Oscar De La Renta and Ellen Tracy, among others. The crowd cheered as tenni s legend Billie Jean King, looking sexy in a red pantsuit by Gustavo Cadile, wiggled and waved her way down the runway. Mrs. Bush made her appearances as ambassador of a five-year-old national campaign called Heart Truth. The participants, who included Dr. Elizabeth Nabel, director of the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, stressed that women's heartattack symptoms can be different than men's, and said women should be proactive - seeing their doctors. taking· mess tests, exercising and watching their diets.

One of them, Danielle Trussoni, has told her story in Falling Through the Earth. Her father, Dan, was a Vietnam vet, a "tunnel rat" who volunteered to explore and clear the tunnels beneath the earth from which the Viet Cong launched attacks. There were supply dumps, hospitals, kitchens, sleeping quarters, an amazing maze of underground facilities beneath the jungle. Danielle 's mother was her father's second wife, and she had a younger sister and brother, as well as a halfbrother and a half-sister her father would never claim. The marriage was a .stormy one, most! y due to the husband's abuse of alcohol. He was possessive of his wife, did not like her working, was "relentlessly mean and paranoid," but earned a living for his family by bricklaying. Mom sought her independence and finally divorced Dan when Danielle was 12. She remarried shortly after the divorce. Danielle chose to remain with her father, while the two younger children stayed with their mother. He took the girl into Roscoe's, the neighborhood tavern, where he was a regular.

Book examines how U.S. history has fit into world history BY CARL HARTMAN FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS "Dangerous Nation: America's Place in the World From Its Earliest Days to the Dawn of the Twentieth Century." By Robert Kagan. Knopf 527 · Pages. $30. ••• A new book argues that even in its earliest days, the new nation of the United States took strong stands in dealing with other countries. The book, "Dangerous Nation," is written by Robert Kagan, veteran of four years in the State Department under President Reagan. He says that Alexander Hamilton, born on a Caribbean island, wanted a maritime empire like Britain's. "But most of Hamilton's colleagues, such as the Virginians Washington and Jefferson and the Pennsylvanian (Benjamin) Franklin were determined territorial imperialists who · looked westward across the continent for America's destiny." Anyone looking westward in 1776 was bound to see territory claimed at various times by Britain, France imd Spain - all major powers. Kagan sees the Declaration of Independence, asserting God-given human rights without regard to nationality, as bringing in a new idea for international relations. He sees that idea as often violating the old rule that governments need not meddle in the domestic affairs of another - no matter how brutal and despotic the other may be. "Americans from the beginning were interested not only in protecting and advancing their material well-being," Kagan writes, but they also believed their own fate was "tied to the cause· of liberalism and republicanism both within and beyond their borders." He ends his book with the outbreak of the SpanishAmerican War. promising another book to complete a two-volume history of U.S. foreign policy. That contlict with Spain about Cuba . he . says, stgnaled a debate on that polit-y: " It echoed similar debates stretching back to the birth of the nation," he writes. "It also foreshadow'ed the debates that would recur throughout the 20th century and into the 21st between those who sought to employ America's increasing power to advance American inlluence and principles, and those who worried about the harmful etl'ects of such an approach both to democrati.: institutions at home and to peoples and nations abroad." He cites dozens of statements and events, many familiar only to historians, to illustrate his theme of he differs with historians camps there, one of Spain's American international who condemn the war with last American colonies. as activism.

The three professors have their artwo rks on display at the Greer Museum at Rio Grande . The Ri o Grande Faculty Ex hibit is being showcased through Feb.

The Rio Grande Faculty Exhibit feature s several miniature versions of hi s large sculptures. along with photographs of the actual pieces. Hi s pieces are mean ingful, interesting and fun . Lyles uses the exhibit ~•s a way to teach his students about artwork. and has taken his classes through the exhibit to explain how he created some of his pteces. Piece s such as "The House on. Top of the Hill" and "Still Waters Run Deep" are particularly interesting for all of the images he put into the pieces. Lyles said he uses a variety of materials in his pieces, and sometimes is inspired when he sees the raw materials and then knows what kinds of artistic pieces he can create. Davies uses graphic design in his work, and has created some stunning pieces in the exhibit. One piece in particular takes up a large part of a wall and uses numerous smaller Down on the Farm, Page 02 Gardening, Page D6 ear-shattering spectacle remains the same images lu create one large image.

The three artist> used pieces they had created in previous years. as well as some new works. Allen hopes area residents will come out and enjoy the ex hibit , but he also knows that Rio Grande students wi ll learn from it . The stuuenls can learn from seeing the exhibit and studying it , but can also learn from talking to Allen. Davies and Lyles about the pieces. "I think it's really important for the students to see what we arc doing as artists," Allen said. By seeing what the three fa culty members created with their artistic talents and knowledge, the students can also be inspired lo create their own pieces. The Rio Grande Faculty ex hibit is on display through Feb. II , and then will be on display at Shawnee State University.

No one can say for sure why, in its sixth season, the "American Idol" phenomenon continues to metastasize. However. as ul ways at this point , it 's NOT the music, stupid. Not yet. Next Tuesday at M p.m. EST, the seven-city audtlion tour concludes in San Antonio, where Idol wannabes were waiting by the thousands last summer. Just like everywhere. And for all sorts of reasons. At this early s la~e, "American Idol" is a playhst of human pathologies. lt highlights people whose mix of self-dell\'iion, grandiosity and craving for anemion - not singing talent - is the driving force.

''Your opinion don't mean nothin'." she hissed at the nmoriously judgmental judge. ''You don ' t know nothin' about music." Never mind. The music phase of this Fox juggernaut will kick in later. in Hollywood. Most of the singers who gel there will be capable of singing. For now, that's a happy exception as viewers share with the judges the occasional pleasure of mee1ing someone who's really good. Like soulful Jason "Sundance" Head in Memphis.

MITI II.... ••·- ·· tO'- ·· ~ TWO CAl GAio\81: ~o · -o·. ao·-•· BY JAMES -ND MORRIS CAREY The ancient Romans were famous for their baths. In those days, laking a bath was a very different experience from ours. Most bathing was communal. not as private as it is today. Bathers enjoyed hot anu cold rooms, and mediumtemperature lounging rooms with extra services such as food, wine and exercise. Today, we call such places health clubs, gyms or spas. History also tells us that bathhouses, specifically sweat baths (hot-air or steam sweating, followed by washing or cold plunges), were a favorite way of getting clean. Interestingly enough, the basic procedure of pouring water over heated rocks to create steam is still used; you can buy sauna and steam units on the Internet. And modern aficionados of such baths also believe that steam not only helps you gel clean outside. but enhances health and is therapeutic as well. However, it is wise to ask your doctor first if such therapy is appropriate for you. If you dec1de to try setting up a steam bath at home. here are some basics to kee p in mind. A modern. compact steam shower unit installed in a closet. within a vanity cabinet or a heated auic space. can provide wrum, moist steam heat in a shower. But there are considemtions and precautions that must be taken. Steam can easily be introduced into a shower enclosure with a modern steam generator, but the shower mu st be completely enclosed to prevent the steam ·s escape. A conventional shower door can be u~d. but a fixed panel must · be added so that the normal .opening above the door is converted to a co mpletely se&led configuration. Most shower-door companies can make such a panel for a very small cost. Also, the walls and ceiling within the shower should be tiled or . surfaced with a waterproof material such as stone or a manmade sheet product (ahnost any one will do). If you decide on tile, pay heed to what the experts say : Fixing tile to wallboard is a big mistake. If you intend to create your own "steam world" you will want to use an old-fashioned mortar-backed shower or one with cement-tile bucker board - no wallboard. Personally. we would nul build a steam shower without tirsl creating a waterproof barrier on all walls and the ceiling, before adding backer board or mortar. There are several sheet products useu by tile t.:ompanies to seal shower pans. which would double beautifully for a steam shower. Once the backer board is in place. use a "latex-modified thinset mortar" as an adhesive to set either tile or stone. In this illustration provided by Homestore Plans and Publications Designer Network, the sunny kitchen, with its angled island cooktop, easily serves formal affairs in the dining room as well as quick morning meals in the breakfast room .

The three professors have their artwo rks on display at the Greer Museum at Rio Grande . The Ri o Grande Faculty Ex hibit is being showcased through Feb. II and features the work of fac ult v members James Allen.-Benjamin Davies and Kev in Lyles. The exhibit features a wide range of artistic types and styles. Lyles, for example. is an .occomplished sculptor who coordinateu the sc ulpture park on the Rio Grande campus and has works exhibiteu around the country. The Rio Grande Faculty Exhibit feature s several miniature versions of hi s large sculptures. along with photographs of the actual pieces. Hi s pieces are mean ingful, interesting and fun . Lyles uses the exhibit ~•s a way to teach his students about artwork. and has taken his classes through the exhibit to explain how he created some of his pteces. Piece s such as "The House on. Top of the Hill" and "Still Waters Run Deep" are particularly interesting for all of the images he put into the pieces. Lyles said he uses a variety of materials in his pieces, and sometimes is inspired when he sees the raw materials and then knows what kinds of artistic pieces he can create. Davies uses graphic design in his work, and has created some stunning pieces in the exhibit. One piece in particular takes up a large part of a wall and uses numerous smaller Down on the Farm, Page 02 Gardening, Page D6 ear-shattering spectacle remains the same images lu create one large image. Allen 's pieces feature paintings anu designs. but many of them also have three-dimensional qualities. The piece, "Thicket," is a fine example of thi s. The piece looks great, and the thicket is tilled with meaning. Allen · ~ other pieces include "Self Portrait With Issues," which he said was inspired by a childhood memory•. The three artist> used pieces they had created in previous years. as well as some new works. Allen hopes area residents will come out and enjoy the ex hibit , but he also knows that Rio Grande students wi ll learn from it . The stuuenls can learn from seeing the exhibit and studying it , but can also learn from talking to Allen. Davies and Lyles about the pieces. "I think it's really important for the students to see what we arc doing as artists," Allen said. By seeing what the three fa culty members created with their artistic talents and knowledge, the students can also be inspired lo create their own pieces. The Rio Grande Faculty ex hibit is on display through Feb. II , and then will be on display at Shawnee State University.

David Lee Roth back as Van Halen singer for planned summer tour LOS ANGELES (AP) The rumors were true. Van Halen will reunite with original singer David Lee Roth for a summer tour of North America. "I am very excited to get back to the core ' of what made Van Halen," guitarist Eddie Van Halen said in a statement posted Friday on the band's Web site• announcing a 40 city lour. No specific dates have been named. II will be the first time Dl INSIDE that Roth performs live with the band since 1984, when he was replaced by Sammy Hagar. A brief reunion with Roth in 1996 resulted in two new songs but no tour. Original bassist Michael Anthony will nul be a part of the reunion. Late last year he was replaced by Eddie Van Halen 's IS-yearold son Wolfgang. On March 12 Van Halen will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at a ceremony in New York . Bv FRAZIER MOORE AP TELEVIS ION WRITER NEW YORK - Three weeks and nine hours in to a new year of " American Idol." the son~ remains the same . JuS! b1gger. louder and nearly impossible to get out of your head. Mor.e than ever. "American Idol" is in heavy rotation in the cultural psyche. No one can say for sure why, in its sixth season, the "American Idol" phenomenon continues to metastasize. However. as ul ways at this point , it 's NOT the music, stupid. Not yet. Next Tuesday at M p.m. EST, the seven-city audtlion tour concludes in San Antonio, where Idol wannabes were waiting by the thousands last summer. Just like everywhere. And for all sorts of reasons. At this early s la~e, "American Idol" is a playhst of human pathologies. lt highlights people whose mix of self-dell\'iion, grandiosity and craving for anemion - not singing talent - is the driving force. Consider Jennifer Chap!On, aka "The Hotness." Her Seanle tryout got off to a bad start when she had nowhere 10 park her chewing gum. "It was a terrible audition." Simon Cowell said after she had slogged through a sung called "I Want Your Love," a performance so bad he proposed she "get a job down in the port." Unsurprisingly, The Hotness got healed. ''Your opinion don't mean nothin'." she hissed at the nmoriously judgmental judge. ''You don ' t know nothin' about music." Never mind. The music phase of this Fox juggernaut will kick in later. in Hollywood. Most of the singers who gel there will be capable of singing. For now, that's a happy exception as viewers share with the judges the occasional pleasure of mee1ing someone who's really good. Like soulful Jason "Sundance" Head in Memphis. Or the adorable teen Shyamali Malakar and ·her equally adorable younger brother Sanjaya, rival siblings who auditioned in Seattle. Exposed 10 people like that, viewers take a break !'rom cringing. Cowell and his fellow judges Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson put their jeering on hold. Then, all too quickly, it's back to the other extreme. Back to Manik Manoukian, aka "Panther Man:· who, after stripping off hi s shin in his Los AP photo · American Idol " judges Paula Abdu l, left, Simon Cowell, cen· ter, and Randy Jackson confer before the s how's perfor. mance at the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles. in this May 23. 2006 file photo.

I need your help to educate area residenls about all kinds of agriculture and natural resource issues. I will be writing a column called "Ag Inquiries" every two weeks in the Sunday Sentinel. All you have to do is email your question to sleFhens. 163@osu.edu or cal the office al (740) 4467007 and leave your question. I also need your first name and where you live. Questions can range from. what vaccines I should be giving my cattle. to fruit trees. to water quality. Any question about agriculture or natural resources is what we are looking for, whether you have a few !lowers or vegetables. or a large dairy limit. For each article I will answer two or three queslions drawn at random. So get those questions in. so we can help our neighbors. chances are you aren't the only one pondering that same question. If you have any other questions. don't hesitate to e-mail or call the office at 446-7007. Q.: My peach trees have Cheshire. A. : Areas of bark peel or a gummy subs1ance mixed with sawdust at the base of stone fruit trees usually indicate an insect problem called peach tree borers. The borer 1s actually a moth that lays its eggs on lhe outer bark of the tree or in the soil close to the base. Once the eggs hatch. the larvae enler the tree through physical wounds already present, usually from winler injury. Once undemealh the surface. the larvae feed on the sapwood. Once winter comes they are dormant, and start feeding again in early spring. They emerge as the adult molh in mid to late summer. The problem with these pests is there is very little treatment that is effective. The best way to chemically control them is by applying a tree spray during the egg stage that usually occur' from June to September. Once the borer goes under the bark, there isn't anything you can do. The best management practice is to ensure your tree health so it may withstand the attack of peach tree borers. Pruning, wa1ering, and proper fertilization can help with the survival of your tree. Q.: What do I do if my newborn calf is so cold it won't respond?- Duane from Thurman. A.: Non-responsive live newborns in the cold, usually suffer from cold-stress (hypothermia). That simply means the calves reclaltem· perature has dropped below 86 degrees Fahrenheit. You must warm the calf immediately to have a chance of survival. You have two choices for warming in my opinion: I. Bring the calf into a warm heated environment that is approximately 75 degrees and rap in blankets. ,Keep the calf there until its rectal temperature has reached a minimum of I 00 degrees (I 03 is optimal). 2. Dr. Glen Selk. Oklahoma State University, has seen evidence that giving the calf a warm bath is the quickest and most effective way 10 get the calf's temperature mised. You will need to submerse the calf in I00 degree waler, while supporting lhe head. until the rectal temperature rises and is constant to I00 degrees. · Pull the calf from the bath, dry off, and monitor in a warmed environment for a Federal money available for food program CHICAGO Federal funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is available to Ohio faith-based and community sponsors to operate feeding programs for low-income children this ·summer. The federal funds will reimburse organizations that sponsor the USDA Summer Food Service Program for Children. When school lun<:hrooms close for the summer, more than 497,165 children in low-income Ohio communities could be at risk of hunger or poor nutrition because free and reduced price school meals arc not available. USDA's Summer Food Service Program is designed to bridge this summer nutrition gap. It reimburses sponsors for serving free , nutritious breakfasts, lunches or snacks to children in eligible low-income areas. However, the program remains significantly underutilized. One reason is a lack of willing sponsors and feeding sites. Another is that parents and caregivers are not always aware of existing summer meals programs in their area. Last summer, only 59,590 low-income Ohio children ate free meals through USDA's Summer Food Service Program or at sum· mer school - that is. only 12 percent of the 497,165 children who ate free or reduced price school meals in the previous school year. In Ohio, the Summer Food Program is administered by the state Depanment of Education. To sponsor the program this summer. new sponsors should contact the state agency as soon as JX"sible to attend the required !raining.

I need your help to educate area residenls about all kinds of agriculture and natural resource issues. I will be writing a column called "Ag Inquiries" every two weeks in the Sunday Sentinel. All you have to do is email your question to sleFhens. 163@osu.edu or cal the office al (740) 4467007 and leave your question. I also need your first name and where you live. Questions can range from. what vaccines I should be giving my cattle. to fruit trees. to water quality. Any question about agriculture or natural resources is what we are looking for, whether you have a few !lowers or vegetables. or a large dairy limit. For each article I will answer two or three queslions drawn at random. So get those questions in. so we can help our neighbors. chances are you aren't the only one pondering that same question. If you have any other questions. don't hesitate to e-mail or call the office at 446-7007. Q.: My peach trees have Cheshire. A. : Areas of bark peel or a gummy subs1ance mixed with sawdust at the base of stone fruit trees usually indicate an insect problem called peach tree borers. The borer 1s actually a moth that lays its eggs on lhe outer bark of the tree or in the soil close to the base. Once the eggs hatch. the larvae enler the tree through physical wounds already present, usually from winler injury. Once undemealh the surface. the larvae feed on the sapwood. Once winter comes they are dormant, and start feeding again in early spring. They emerge as the adult molh in mid to late summer. The problem with these pests is there is very little treatment that is effective. The best way to chemically control them is by applying a tree spray during the egg stage that usually occur' from June to September. Once the borer goes under the bark, there isn't anything you can do. The best management practice is to ensure your tree health so it may withstand the attack of peach tree borers. Pruning, wa1ering, and proper fertilization can help with the survival of your tree. Q.: What do I do if my newborn calf is so cold it won't respond?- Duane from Thurman. A.: Non-responsive live newborns in the cold, usually suffer from cold-stress (hypothermia). That simply means the calves reclaltem· perature has dropped below 86 degrees Fahrenheit. You must warm the calf immediately to have a chance of survival. You have two choices for warming in my opinion: I. Bring the calf into a warm heated environment that is approximately 75 degrees and rap in blankets. ,Keep the calf there until its rectal temperature has reached a minimum of I 00 degrees (I 03 is optimal). 2. Dr. Glen Selk. Oklahoma State University, has seen evidence that giving the calf a warm bath is the quickest and most effective way 10 get the calf's temperature mised. You will need to submerse the calf in I00 degree waler, while supporting lhe head. until the rectal temperature rises and is constant to I00 degrees. · Pull the calf from the bath, dry off, and monitor in a warmed environment for a Federal money available for food program CHICAGO Federal funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is available to Ohio faith-based and community sponsors to operate feeding programs for low-income children this ·summer. The federal funds will reimburse organizations that sponsor the USDA Summer Food Service Program for Children. When school lun<:hrooms close for the summer, more than 497,165 children in low-income Ohio communities could be at risk of hunger or poor nutrition because free and reduced price school meals arc not available. USDA's Summer Food Service Program is designed to bridge this summer nutrition gap. It reimburses sponsors for serving free , nutritious breakfasts, lunches or snacks to children in eligible low-income areas. However, the program remains significantly underutilized. One reason is a lack of willing sponsors and feeding sites. Another is that parents and caregivers are not always aware of existing summer meals programs in their area. Last summer, only 59,590 low-income Ohio children ate free meals through USDA's Summer Food Service Program or at sum· mer school - that is. only 12 percent of the 497,165 children who ate free or reduced price school meals in the previous school year. In Ohio, the Summer Food Program is administered by the state Depanment of Education. To sponsor the program this summer. new sponsors should contact the state agency as soon as JX"sible to attend the required !raining. Applications and sponsor information may be obtained from lhe State Department of Education. Division of Child Nutrition Services. 25 S. Front St .. Third Floor, Columbus, Ohio 43215-4183.
