Young finished the first such play before Southern went ahead, 2011 , for its biggest lead of the night. The Tornado played itself out of momentum with hasty shot selection in the waning moments of the frame. Pat Johnson faked a Tomcat defeilder and tickled the nylons for a threepointer. Trimble's Clark then hit a lay-up and Fouls grabbed a steal and ensuing bucket to close the gap to five. The drive didn't end there. Southern didn't take care of the basketball and slid to a narrow 25-23 lead at the half. Young and Clark tightened the gap with a goal and free throw respectively. Southern blitzed Trimble on a 7-0 run to open the second half, then went on to build a 36-27 advantage. Southern then became careless and breathed a sense of hope into the struggling Tomcats. Reitano's three put the game back within five points, then another triple by the sophomore cut the lead to 36-34. Reitano grabbed the bull by the horns and wrestled the lead away from the Tornadoe s.

Rutland has 260 customers who pay this fee, customers which should see the new rates on their next sewer bill. Those customers who receive both sewer and water services from Rutland and use the 2,000 gallon minimum will see, their bills go from $54.50 to $55. This $55 includes billing for water, sewer, sewer debt fee and the water tank fee. After the village began a major $1.9 million sewer construction projoct in 1991. a sewer debt fee was established to help pay for the project. Currently the village owes the Ohio Water Development Authority · (OWDA) $385,185.54 on a loan for the sewer construction. The sewer debt tee is used to pay on four OWDA loans for the sewer project. The loans currently total $..185, 185.54 with the last loan due to be paid off in 2026. The previous rate of $16.25 fell sort of meeting lhe viUage 's legal obligation to cover the sewer debt amount, prompting the 50 cent increase.

There were increases across the board, but as usual it was the already wealthy who fared be st. Stanford 's $911 million was the most ever collected by a single university, and raised the staggering possibility of a billion-dollar fundraising year in the not -too-distant future. 'There were a set of ideas and a set of initiatives that the university is undertaking that people wanted to invest in," said Martin Shell, Stanford's vice president for development. "This is an unbelievably generous response from an unbelievably philanthropic set of alumni, parents and friends." Nationally, donations from alumni rose 18.3 percent .from 2005, according to new figures being released Wednesday by the Council for Aid to Education. Alumni donations account for about 30 percent of ~iv­ ing to higher education. Giving from other groups, such as corporations and foundations, increased by much smaller amounts. Survey director Ann Kaplan said the strong economy played a role, but universities also were asking more aggressively as part of formal fundra1sing campaigns. Colleges "are making a good case for support," Kaplan said. "The level at wh1ch they can receive contributions will have something to do with the economy, but they have. to be out there asking for it." Stanford had about 300 full-time · fundraising employees asking for money in 2006. finishing up one formal campaign early in the year and starting another. It wa> a demonstration of how fundraising campaigns, like political ones. now run virtually full-time. Still. the timing did give Stanford's annual numbers an artificial boost. because more money tends to be collected at the beginning and end of such campaigns. The CAE survey contains good news for a number of schools with small endowments that saw large percentage jumps. such as Wagner College in New York and the University of La Verne in California both of which raised about $10 million and more than doubled 200)'s collections. But in absolute dollars, the wealthiest institutions still dominate - and are expanding their lead. Last year, the top I0 fundraising universities collected 16.3 percent of all gifts, or $4.6 billion, compared to 14.7 percent in 2005. The top 20 mstitutions accounted for more than a quarter of all fundraising. Stanford was followed by Harvard, which raised $595 million, then Yale ($433 million) and the University of Pennsylvania ($409 million). All of the biggest fundraising schools are large research institutions with medical schools that typically attract private support for ·research from well beyond their alumni base. Rounding out the top 10 were Cornell. · Southern California, Johns Hopkins, Columbia, Duke and the University of WisconsinMadison, which was the top fundraiser among public universities, raising $326 million.

Months later: Libby told the FBI and a grand jury that he first learned that Plame worked for the CIA !rom Cheney on June II. But he said that amid the press of war issues and other national security concerns he forgot that and was surprised to learn it from NBC Washington bureau chief Tim Russert on Ju)y 10 or II. Thereafter he said he told reporters he had heard the information only from journalists and could not confirm it. Russert testified he and Libby never discussed Plame. Judith Miller, who had been a reporter with The New York Times, testified Libby told her about Plame's CIA job before the Russert conversation. Matt Cooper, then of Time magazine, testified Libby confirmed her employment for him. Six· government officials testified they either told Libby about Plame' s job or discussed it with him between June II and July IOor II. Walton explained to the jurors that they must weigh the truth of several different statements by Libby in the various counts. On the obstruction count, Walton said they could find Libby guilty if they unanimously decided any one, or more, of three Libby statements were lies: that Russert asked Libby if Plame worked at CIA and said all the reporters knew it, that Libby was surprised to learn the Plame information from Russert or that Libby told Cooper he 'd heard it from reporters but didn't know it was true. On one count of lying to the FBI, jurors could find Libby guilty if they found either or both of his statements about the Russert call were lies, Walton .explained.

There were increases across the board, but as usual it was the already wealthy who fared be st. Stanford 's $911 million was the most ever collected by a single university, and raised the staggering possibility of a billion-dollar fundraising year in the not -too-distant future. 'There were a set of ideas and a set of initiatives that the university is undertaking that people wanted to invest in," said Martin Shell, Stanford's vice president for development. "This is an unbelievably generous response from an unbelievably philanthropic set of alumni, parents and friends." Nationally, donations from alumni rose 18.3 percent .from 2005, according to new figures being released Wednesday by the Council for Aid to Education. Alumni donations account for about 30 percent of ~iv­ ing to higher education. Giving from other groups, such as corporations and foundations, increased by much smaller amounts. Survey director Ann Kaplan said the strong economy played a role, but universities also were asking more aggressively as part of formal fundra1sing campaigns. Colleges "are making a good case for support," Kaplan said. "The level at wh1ch they can receive contributions will have something to do with the economy, but they have. to be out there asking for it." Stanford had about 300 full-time · fundraising employees asking for money in 2006. finishing up one formal campaign early in the year and starting another. It wa> a demonstration of how fundraising campaigns, like political ones. now run virtually full-time. Still. the timing did give Stanford's annual numbers an artificial boost. because more money tends to be collected at the beginning and end of such campaigns. The CAE survey contains good news for a number of schools with small endowments that saw large percentage jumps. such as Wagner College in New York and the University of La Verne in California both of which raised about $10 million and more than doubled 200)'s collections. But in absolute dollars, the wealthiest institutions still dominate - and are expanding their lead. Last year, the top I0 fundraising universities collected 16.3 percent of all gifts, or $4.6 billion, compared to 14.7 percent in 2005. The top 20 mstitutions accounted for more than a quarter of all fundraising. Stanford was followed by Harvard, which raised $595 million, then Yale ($433 million) and the University of Pennsylvania ($409 million). All of the biggest fundraising schools are large research institutions with medical schools that typically attract private support for ·research from well beyond their alumni base. Rounding out the top 10 were Cornell. · Southern California, Johns Hopkins, Columbia, Duke and the University of WisconsinMadison, which was the top fundraiser among public universities, raising $326 million.

Lewis "Scooter· libby, former chief of staff tor Vice President Dick Cheney, teaves U.S. Federal Court in Washington, Wednesday. into war with Iraq. Months later: Libby told the FBI and a grand jury that he first learned that Plame worked for the CIA !rom Cheney on June II. But he said that amid the press of war issues and other national security concerns he forgot that and was surprised to learn it from NBC Washington bureau chief Tim Russert on Ju)y 10 or II. Thereafter he said he told reporters he had heard the information only from journalists and could not confirm it. Russert testified he and Libby never discussed Plame. Judith Miller, who had been a reporter with The New York Times, testified Libby told her about Plame's CIA job before the Russert conversation. Matt Cooper, then of Time magazine, testified Libby confirmed her employment for him. Six· government officials testified they either told Libby about Plame' s job or discussed it with him between June II and July IOor II. Walton explained to the jurors that they must weigh the truth of several different statements by Libby in the various counts. On the obstruction count, Walton said they could find Libby guilty if they unanimously decided any one, or more, of three Libby statements were lies: that Russert asked Libby if Plame worked at CIA and said all the reporters knew it, that Libby was surprised to learn the Plame information from Russert or that Libby told Cooper he 'd heard it from reporters but didn't know it was true. On one count of lying to the FBI, jurors could find Libby guilty if they found either or both of his statements about the Russert call were lies, Walton .explained. The other count of tying to the FBI hinges on Libby 's statement about the Cooper call. lnter_net HOLIDAY SPECIAL!

Under the proposal , hunters could buy additional anterless deer permits. currently known as urban deer permits, at reduced prices for hunting in an urban zone, participating in a controlled hunt, or hunting during the Sept. 29 to Nov. 25 portion of the archery season. The anterless deer permit would cost $15 and be good for doe deer only, according to the Ohio Archery hunters would be required to purchase a reguJar deer permit before purchasing the anterless deer permits.

Someones responsiblefor a lie Dear Editor: Four years after the start of the war and with no end in sight, one question needs to be addressed. Who is responsible for the big lie about weawns of mass destruction in Iraq and the threat that Iraq posed to the rest of the world? Who started the rumors of mass destruction? First, let us look at who had a motive. Should we look at the exiled people frof!llraq who wanted to regain power in Iraq? Should we question the big oil companies who wanted to gain control of the oil in lmq? Did big military suppliers in United States want to sell tanks, unifonns, ammunition, etc., for monetary profits? Or, did the rumor start with Iraq's neighbors who feared Saddam and his military control? How could the leaders of Britain. Germany, France and United States be so misled? With over 3,100 of the United States' finest military killed, tens of thousands Iraq casualties, and military killed frofl\ other coalition countries. someone should be held accountable for all of the loss of life. Someone started the rumor. That "someone .. should be identit1ed and prosecuted for all of the terrible sutTering caused. Henry Balar LongBonom '.' BY RACHEL BECK f>P BUSINESS WRITER NEW YORK The implosion of the subprime mortgage !11ilfket should be a stark reminder to investors about the risks of lax lending standards fueling the corporate buyout boom. A surge in global liquidity matched with low interest rates have fed a lending bonanza in recent years. driving banks and others to ease loan requirements on everything from starter houses to multibillion-dollar corporations. That's already come back to haunt mortgage lenders. Borrowers with weak credit have become increasingly delinquent on their loans, a big switch in a market that recently had lenders clamoring for business instead of running from it. Those risky pmcti1.:es haven' t caught up with commercial lenders - yet. But if they do, the trickle-down effect could be far reaching, even potentially rocking pension funds that have been · financing such debt. As the housing market soared, lenders trotted out adjustable or teaser rates to woo potential applicants with shaky credit records, and let them borrow with no money down. They often did this without vetting tinancial backgrounds. That strategy has fallen apan as home prices have stopped appreciating or have fallen in much of the country while interest rates have gone up. Suddenly. those borrowers haven't been able to keep up with their mortgage payments, as the mtes on their adjustable mongages have soared. They' ve also had little opportunity to refinance their home loans. Delinquency mtes - as measured by borrowers in foreclosure or more than 90 days past due on their mortgage payments - have shot · up from a rate of 7 percent in 2003 to nearly 13 percent late last year, according to Morgan Stanley. That's hurting the finances at mortgage lenders who tapped into this once fastgrowing applicant base. HSBC Holdings PLC, Europe's bi~est bank and a major player m the U.S. mort!lage industry, estimated that 11 needs to set aside almost $10.6 billion to cover loans it won't be able to collect. ResMae Mortgage Corp., which specializes in the subprime market, filed for bank· ruptcy court protection earlier thts month after Merrill Lynch & Co. Inc. demarided the Brea, Calif.-based company repurchase $308 million in questionable loans. San Diego-based Accredited Home Lenders Holding Co. reported a fourth-quarter loss of $37.8 million, citing a tough credit environment where delinquent loans were 7.18 percent of it~ serviced portfolio, up from 5.45 percent in the third quarter. Some lenders are going out of business. Ownit Mortgage Solutions Inc., a lender based in Agoura Hills, Calif., suddenly shut down when bond investors demanded that it buy back underperfonning loans it had sold. This bleak envirorunent is forcing lenders all around to change their ways. About 15 percent of domestic banks reported that they had tight· ened credit standards on residential mortgage loans over the past three months. the fastest pace since the early 1990s, according to the Federal Reserve's January Senior Loan Otlker survey. Still, commercial lenders don't seem to be getting the hint. Despite their lending parallels to the subprime market, they still are doling out risky loans to borrowers with weak financial prospects, or more widely allowing loans with limited or no covenants. That means borrowers aren't required to maintain certain fmancial restrictions on such things as debt levels. interest coverage a<1d net wonh. In panicular. they arc eagerly lending to private-e4uity fmns, which have been on " record run in deht-heavy takeovers.

Prosecutors said Fiesel was hard to handle and needed constant attention.

The defense ponrayed Carroll as quiet and submis~ive, marrie~ to a bully who brought Baker into the couple's home and tolerated a lifestyle that few in the jury would understand. The Carrolls also face trial on lesser charges, including perjury and inducing panic, in Hamilton County, where they said Fiesel had disap~ared. An investigauon by the Ohio Department of Job ;md Family Services said the Carrolls were unqualified to care for Fiesel and cited failure to check references and inadequate home study and follow-up visits. The state moved to revoke the license of Lifeway for Youth, a private agency th!lt helped place the boy with the Carrolls, and Lifeway then ended its Ohio operations, which began in 1994.

Someones responsiblefor a lie Dear Editor: Four years after the start of the war and with no end in sight, one question needs to be addressed. Who is responsible for the big lie about weawns of mass destruction in Iraq and the threat that Iraq posed to the rest of the world? Who started the rumors of mass destruction? First, let us look at who had a motive. Should we look at the exiled people frof!llraq who wanted to regain power in Iraq? Should we question the big oil companies who wanted to gain control of the oil in lmq? Did big military suppliers in United States want to sell tanks, unifonns, ammunition, etc., for monetary profits? Or, did the rumor start with Iraq's neighbors who feared Saddam and his military control? How could the leaders of Britain. Germany, France and United States be so misled? With over 3,100 of the United States' finest military killed, tens of thousands Iraq casualties, and military killed frofl\ other coalition countries. someone should be held accountable for all of the loss of life. Someone started the rumor. That "someone .. should be identit1ed and prosecuted for all of the terrible sutTering caused. Henry Balar LongBonom '.' BY RACHEL BECK f>P BUSINESS WRITER NEW YORK The implosion of the subprime mortgage !11ilfket should be a stark reminder to investors about the risks of lax lending standards fueling the corporate buyout boom. A surge in global liquidity matched with low interest rates have fed a lending bonanza in recent years. driving banks and others to ease loan requirements on everything from starter houses to multibillion-dollar corporations. That's already come back to haunt mortgage lenders. Borrowers with weak credit have become increasingly delinquent on their loans, a big switch in a market that recently had lenders clamoring for business instead of running from it. Those risky pmcti1.:es haven' t caught up with commercial lenders - yet. But if they do, the trickle-down effect could be far reaching, even potentially rocking pension funds that have been · financing such debt. As the housing market soared, lenders trotted out adjustable or teaser rates to woo potential applicants with shaky credit records, and let them borrow with no money down. They often did this without vetting tinancial backgrounds. That strategy has fallen apan as home prices have stopped appreciating or have fallen in much of the country while interest rates have gone up. Suddenly. those borrowers haven't been able to keep up with their mortgage payments, as the mtes on their adjustable mongages have soared. They' ve also had little opportunity to refinance their home loans. Delinquency mtes - as measured by borrowers in foreclosure or more than 90 days past due on their mortgage payments - have shot · up from a rate of 7 percent in 2003 to nearly 13 percent late last year, according to Morgan Stanley. That's hurting the finances at mortgage lenders who tapped into this once fastgrowing applicant base. HSBC Holdings PLC, Europe's bi~est bank and a major player m the U.S. mort!lage industry, estimated that 11 needs to set aside almost $10.6 billion to cover loans it won't be able to collect. ResMae Mortgage Corp., which specializes in the subprime market, filed for bank· ruptcy court protection earlier thts month after Merrill Lynch & Co. Inc. demarided the Brea, Calif.-based company repurchase $308 million in questionable loans. San Diego-based Accredited Home Lenders Holding Co. reported a fourth-quarter loss of $37.8 million, citing a tough credit environment where delinquent loans were 7.18 percent of it~ serviced portfolio, up from 5.45 percent in the third quarter. Some lenders are going out of business. Ownit Mortgage Solutions Inc., a lender based in Agoura Hills, Calif., suddenly shut down when bond investors demanded that it buy back underperfonning loans it had sold. This bleak envirorunent is forcing lenders all around to change their ways. About 15 percent of domestic banks reported that they had tight· ened credit standards on residential mortgage loans over the past three months. the fastest pace since the early 1990s, according to the Federal Reserve's January Senior Loan Otlker survey. Still, commercial lenders don't seem to be getting the hint. Despite their lending parallels to the subprime market, they still are doling out risky loans to borrowers with weak financial prospects, or more widely allowing loans with limited or no covenants. That means borrowers aren't required to maintain certain fmancial restrictions on such things as debt levels. interest coverage a<1d net wonh.

Such is the case for the wrestling team of Wahama High School. Allhough the wrestling program has struggled to get firmly established at the Mason high school in recent years, positive resulls this season give cause for heightened expectations. First, the Dave Barr- coached team had more active panicipants to stan this season even though most were fi rst-year grapplers. Second. three of the team members recently qualified for the 2007 West Virginia state tournament by their winning performances last week in the Region IV contest held at Roane County High School in Spencer. Leading the " ay for the White Falcons was senior Nathan Stafford who had grappled his way to a 20-7 record as a 189-pounder during the regular season. He powered his way over opponents from Herben Hoover and Logan high schools to the championshi p match where he fell shun to Point Pleasant 's Colby McCoy in the championship match 7-5. The roads were not as smooth fo r Wahama's two other qualifiers, senior Jordan Roush (2 15 pounds. 25-6) and freshman Micaia!\ Branch ( 145 pound, 16-14), due to fi rst-round losses. However. both bounced back tu work their way to third place ti ni shes. Eac h had similar yet vital Aaron Cordell added three apiece to round out the scoring. Meigs made 23-of-61 field goal attempt~. including 3-of12 from behind the arc. The hosts also won the battle on the boards by a 36-35 margin, including 12-11 on the offensive glass. MHS also com~itted just 13 turnovers in the tnumph. · Mark Christman and Joey Reitano each scored I0 apiece to lead Trimble, while Isaac Walton added eight and David Clark 11nished with six. Christman also had a double-double with a gamehigh 13 rebounds. THS was just 14-of-48 from the floor, including 2of-10 from three-point territory. Both teams finished last in their respective TVC divisions. The TolllCllts were l-9 in the TVC Hocking, while the Marauders were winless in the TVC Ohio. Meigs posted an evening sweep foDowing a dramatic 40-36 overtime victory in the junior varsity tilt. Jacob Well led the Marauders ( 14-6) with 13 points, while Joey Reitano paced the Tomcats with 13 markers. Meigs from PageBl "We talked before the game about staying together. Coming off a very hardfought tournament game that we felt slipped through our fingers, it was tough to know how these guys were going to react," commented Abbott. "I'm reaJly proud of them, especially the way they came out and played hard from the stan.'' After falling behind 2-0 just 45 seconds into the contest, the Marauders countered with a 7-0 run over the next 2:03 for a five-point advantage. The Red and Gray fought back to within 9-7 at the 3: 19 mark of the first, but MHS closed the quaner out on a 60 run to take an eight-point edge into the seconopenod. The hosts - who went without a turnover in the opening eight minutes made 7-of-20 field goal attempts and forced five miscues in opening that early advantage. The Tomcats were just 3-of-9 from the floor over that same span. MHS extended its ftrst half lead to double-digits at the 7: 18 mark when Richardson hit a shon jumper in the lane fora 17-7edge. The guests responded with a 5-0 run to cut the deficit to 17-12, but Mei~s answered that spun with e1ght straight points off turnovers and transition to take a 25-12 advantage. · THS. which had eight turnovers overall before Meigs committed its first, closed the half out on a I0-6 run to enter intermission trailing 31-22. The hosts were 13-of-31 from the field in the ftrst half, including 1-of-4 from behind the arc. MHS also committed only three turnovers and posted a 5-3 edge on the offensive glass.

For the five upl'!?rclassmen, Abbott was thrilled that their finale was a fitting one.

'Beauty and the Beast' at Ariel this weekend GALLIPOLIS The Ariel Jr. Theatre is preparing to return the classic fairy tale, "Beauty and the Beast" to the Ariel stage. One of the most beloved fairy tales of all time will be presented by a group of 10 youth actors Feb. 23-25. "Beauty and the Beast" was originally staged at the Ariel in 1991. Joseph Wright, executive director of The Ariel-Dater Hall .says, "It is amazing to see ·how much more advanced our curent production is from the one presented in 1991. Although. in many ways, we still operate on a shoestring budget, we now have much more elaborate settings, an electronic lighting system, special effects, and for this production, beautiful medieval costumes created by Cheryl Enyart." "Beauty and the Beast" is presented under the direction of veteran Ariel Jr. Theatre production director Kim Vanco. Cast members from Gallia and Mason counties have joined forces to bring this production to life. Performances are set for Friday, Feb. 23 and Saturday, PARKERSBURG. W.Va. - Students from 26 schools in West Virginia ~nd Ohio and home schoolers from both states will be performing on-stage as the Actors Guild of Parkersburg's production of "The Stories of Scheherazade," which opens Friday at the Actors Guild Playhouse, 724 Market St., Parkersburg. Based on the classic Tales of the Arabia11 Nights, the production is a musical magic carpel ride through the colorful legend of the greatest storyteller of the ancient Arabian world. SchehentZade is called upon to use ller tale-spinning talents to save the women in her kingdom from certain destruction by the King. Her tales are underscored by captivating musical themes. Her enchanted stories transform royal counselors into powerful genies and change the King into his own worst enemy, a woman, and a victim of his own revengeful plot. As the King is entertained, he is also educated in morality and kindness by the wise Scheherazade, who becomes his Queen. The exquisi,te instrumental music heightens the magical and mysterious ambiance of the story. Cast and crew will be comprised of members of Guild Builders, the guild's youth theatre troupe. Each perfonnance will be preceded by a short original play entitled "Arabian Nightmare," written and produced by the Guild Builders Playwriting and Producing class. This play tells the story of a group of college student~ and their two professors traveling to an important archeologicaJ. dig in the Middle East, when their plane makes a soft crash landing in the desert. Performance dates are this Friday and Friday, March 2 at 8 p.m .. with Saturd;~y matinee shows on Feb. 24 and March 3 at 2:30 p.m. at the Actors Guild Playhouse.

BY BETH SERGENT · BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEl.COM 16 PAGES RACINE - Plans for a skate park in Racine are etched in concrete but just how big .that park will . be depends on I he funding the village receives. "If we don't get a dime we're moving forward ~ith this project," Racine Clerk-Treasurer Dave Spencer said about the village's commitment. The village is applying for a $25,000 grant from the Tony Hawk Foundation to assist in funding the project. a grant which may mean the difference between a basic skate park and a great one. The skate park the village hopes to build was picked out by local kids who attend the Southern Local Schools District when they met with Mayor J. Scott Hill. "We have kids skating all over the community in the roads ·and on the sidewalks and up and down church steps which is a dangerous mix for all involved," Spencer said. "This skate park will be a useful. safer place for kids to be able to skate." PINse SM Pllrll.
