Government says obesity rates in the US .·have leveled off, at least temporarily Bv MIKE STOBBE AP MEDICAL·WRITER · ATLANTA Obesity rates in U.S . women seem to be staying level, and the rate in men may be hitting a plateau now, 'too, according to a new government report released Wednesday. With more than 72 million Americans counted as obese, adult obesity rates for both sexes seem to be holding steady at about 34 percent, the U.S. Centers for Control and Disease Prevention reported. The .rates are still too high, said Mark Swanson , a researcher · who studies childhood obesity and school nutrition at the Unive rsity of Kentucky 's College of Public Health. "Until the numbers start to go the other direction , I don 't think we can consider this a success at all ," he said. ~ I The adult obesity rate has generally been climbing since 1980, when 'it was 15 percent. ·The entire adult populatron has grown heavter, and the heaviest have become much heavier in the last 25 years . Obesity is major risk factor for hear1 disease, certain types of cancer and t~pe 2 dtabetes. The CDC s new report is based on a comprehensive survey by the federal gov.· ernment !hat includes physical examinations. The results are based on what was foupd in about 4,400 adults ages 20 and older in 2005 and 2006. About 33 percent of men and 35 percc;nt' of women were obese. The · new rates were slightly higher th~ti the 31 percent and 33 percent reported in 2003-2004 surveys. . However, In generalizing the results to the U.S. population, researchers calculato- .. ed a margin of error that swallows up the differences between years . In other words, the increases were not considered statistically significant. The obe sity rate for women has been about steady since 1999-2000, at around 33 percent. But the male rate trended up, from 27.5 percent in 1999-2000. People with a body-mass index - a standard measure of height and weight - of 30 or greater are defined by the CDC as obese. The new CDC report · compared data over four years. While it ·looks like the male rate is leveling off, more years will be needed to confirm a trend, said Dr. William Dietz, a CDC expert. If there is a trend, perhaps women are having an influ- . ence on th e eating and exercise habits of men, Dietz added. ' family year to year. · 14.

Convicted shopping mall. terrorist turned down generous plea deal Debate Beam me up, Scottie If there were a Gol~en Rule of Washington politics, it would have to be phrased differently from the Biblical mjunction. The prevailing ethos of our nation's capital appears to be: ''Do unto others before they get a ·chance to do unto you." Most Americans say they're sickened by excess partisanship, but it's not clear they really mean it. Many appear unwilling or unable to perform the simp,est thought experiment: To wit, tun! a political scandal inside-Out. What would you be saying if the opposite party got caught playing the same diny tricks? It's the only way I know to see around partisan blinders. Consider the Valerie Plame affair. What if the Clinton White House had deliberately blown a covert CIA agent's !X)ver to punish her ·husband for exposing a presidential falsehood that helped drive the nation to war? What if Vice President Gore's chief of staff had been convicted of perjury and obstruction of justice? Would Clinton have survived to commutehis sentence before being impeached, convicted and removed from office? Would Gore have escaped indictment? · To ask the question is to answer it. Was hington went berserk over Clinton's ignominious sex lies. Add a heau-tiful blonde spy and the word "treason," arid the capital dome would have levitated into the heavens. On "Meet the · Press," Tim Russen would ha ve spontaneous! y com busted. That's what made il so remarkable when former Gene Lyons White House press secretary Scott . McClellan briefly appeared to have spilled the beans about the Plame affai r in his forthcomin g btlok, "What Happened : Inside the Bush White House and What's · Wrong With Washington." · Infamous for stonewalling and eva~iveness, McClellan came clean: "The most powerful 'leader in the world had called upon me to speak on his behalf and help restore credibility he lost amid the failure to lind weapons of mass destruction in Iraq," he wrote. ''So· I stood at the White House briefing room podium ... for the belter part of two weeks and publicly exonerated two of the seniormost aides in the White House: Karl Rove and Scooter Libby. "There was one problem . It was not true. "I had unkRowingly passed along false information . And live of the highest-ranking officials in the administration were involved in my cluing so: Rove, Libby. the vice president, the president's chief of staff, and the president himself." For about 24 hour£. Washington held its breath. Would McClellan actually te ll us, in the classic Watergate formulation, what Pre>iden,l -·-·-- --·--- ------ ---~- Bush knew and when he knew it? Would he implicate Bush in the cover-up'l In legal lilings, special prosecutor Patrkk Fitzgerald wrote that his investigation had revealed a "concerted" White House plot to "discredit, · punish or seek revenge against" Ambassador Joe Wil son for his New York Times column exposing fraudulent "intelligence" about . trag's imaginary nuclear threat. At Scooter Libby's trial, a copy of the article was put into evidence with Cheney's angry scrawlings in the margins. During his closing argument, Fitzgerald told the jury that. "there is a cloud over the vice .president ....That cloud remains because the defendant obstructed justice. That cloud 'is there. That cloud is something that we just can't pretend isn't there." Back in the day, Bush had vowed to kick a~s and take names. "If there is a leak out of my administration, I want to · koow who it is," he declared on Sept. 30, 2003. "I want to know the truth . If anybody has got any information inside our administrmion or outside our admini stration, it would be helpful if they came forward with the information so we can lind out whether or not these allegations are true." McClellan told reporters that anybody involved in leaking Plame\ covert identity would be tired. 'There's been nothing, absol utely nothing, brought to our attention," he insisted, "to suggest any White House in volvement." N the time, White House -~ • -,--- apparatchiks, trusting Attorney General John Ashcroft to stifle-the investigation, blithely lied.

Had president Bush' not shamefully commuted Libby's sentence, there's no telling where evidence might have taken him. The White House got away with it largely because, as Wilson and· Plame comment• ed after McClellan's remarks surfaced, "the Washington press' establishment · increasingly resembles the corrupt Soviet propaganda mill ."

Sudan charges British teacher with inciting hatred by naming teddy bear afterProphet~uhanunad DE Bv ALFRED MONTESQUIOU ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER , KHARTOUM. Sudan Sudan charged a British teacher Wednesday with inciting religious hatred - a crime punishable by40 la_shes - because she allowed her students to name a teddy bear Muhammad as pan of a class project. The country's top-Muslim clerics pressed the government to ensure that . the teacher, Gillian Gibbons, is punished, comparing her action to author Salman Rushdie 's "blasphemies" against · the Prophet Muhammad. The charges against Gibbons angerttd the British government, which urgently summoned the Sudanese ambassador to discuss the case. British and American Muslim groups· also criticized the decision. Gibbons, 54, was arrested at her home in Khanoum on Sunday after some parents of her students accused her of naming the bear after Islam's prophet. Muhammad is a common name among Muslim men, but the parents saw applying it to a toy ani, mal as an insult. Officials in Sudan's Foreign Ministry have tried to play down the case, calling it an isolated incident and predicting Tuesday that Gibbons could be released without charge. But hard-liners have considerable weight in the government of President Omar ai-Bashir, which came to .power in a 1989 military coup that touted itself as creating an Islamic state. The north of the country bases its legal code on Islamic Sharia law, and alBashir often seeks to burnish his religious credentials. Last year, he vowed to lead a jihad, or holy war, against U.N. peacekeepers if they deployed in the Dartur region of western Sudan. He relented this year to allow a U.N.African Union force there-. but this month said he wol(ld bar Scandinavian peacekeep. ers from participating hecause newspapers in their countries ran caricatures· of Prophet Muhammad last year. Streets were · calm Wednesday in Khar1oum, but a pickup truck drove through the capital with loudspeakers blaring calls for Muslims to protest Friday after prayers and not to let their religion be insulted. Sudanese , Prosecutor~ General Salah Eddin Abu Zaid said Gibbons was charged with inciting religious hatred and her case would be referred to courts Thursday. If convicted, she faces up to 40 lashes, six months in jail and a fine, said AbdulDaem Zumrawi, an undersecretary at the Justice Ministry. The verdict and any sentence are up to "the discretionary power of the judge," he said, according' to the state Sudanese News Agency. The case set up an escalat- ing diplomatic dispute with Britain, Sudan's former COJOniaJ ruler. "We are surprised and disappointed by this dev.elopment," said Michael Ellam, a spokes mai1 for Prime Minister Gordon Brown . He said Foreign Secretary David Miliband would urgently summon Sudanese Ambassador Orner Mohammed Ahmed Sjddig aml ask "for . the rationale behind the charges and a sense of what the next steps might be." "We will consider our response in the light of that.'' Ell am said. Qtficials at Unity High School, · where . Gibbons taught, say she was· teaching her 7-y~ar-old students about animals and in September asked one girl to bring in her teddy bear. Gibbons then asked the students to pick names for the bear and they voted to name it Muhammad. Each student then took the bear for a weekend to write a diary entry about what they did with the bear, and the entries were compiled into a book with the · bear's photo on the cover and the title "My Name is Muhammad," in what teachers in Britain said was a common exercise. Police in downtown Khanoum stood guard outside · the school, which closed after Gibbons' arrest. It was founded in 1902 to provide British-style education to about 750 students from elementary through high school. Most students are Muslims from affluent Sudanese families. In Britain, the Gibbons family declined to speak with The Associated Press, saying the British government had a"dvised them not to comment. In Khanoum, the British Embassy said that diplomats were allowed to visit Gibbons on Wednesday and that she was being treated well. Gibbons' lawyer told the independent Sudanese newspaper AI- Akbar AlAyam that she changed prisons to guarantee her safety. He did not elabomte. Sudan's top clerics, known as the Assembly of the Ulemas, said in a statement Wednesday that parents at the school had handed them a book that the teacher was assembling' about the bear. "She, in a very abusive manner, used the name of Prophet Muhammad, may Allah shame her," the state. ment said. The assemblv, a semiofficia! body generitliy viewed as mndemte and close to the government, called on authorities to apply the full measure of the law against Gibbons. It called the incident pan of a broader Western "plot" against Muslims. "What has happened was not haphazard or carried .out of ignorance, but rather a calculated action and anotherring in the circles of plotting against Islam," the ulemas' statement said.

"I don't care what everybody else thinks," he snarled this week after ftrst suggesting that no one cared except the reporters asking the questions. ' "I can tell you what this team thinks. Right now we're thinking about getting ready for Baltimore. That's how we approach the game. I can't tell you what anybody else thinks . I don't care what everybody else thinks. It doesn't make any differ- ence." It sure does, though, to the Miami Dolphins - for a couple of reasons. New England is I) -0 on the way to 16-0 - or 19-0, the record if it wins out through the Super Bowl. That would make the Patriots the NFL's first unbeaten team since the 1972 Dolphins went 14-0 in the regular season and 17-0 overall, beating Washington in the Super BowL Now, that same Miami franchise ·is at the opposite end in this season of extremes, only the third time in the NFL's 88 seasons that there have been 11-0 and OIl teams at the same time. In 1984, Miami was 11-0 ·on the way to a 14-2 record and Super Bowl trip with Dan Marino setting passing records that wouldn't be broken for two decades. The OIl team was Buffalo, which finished . 2-14, setting the stage for a housecleaning that brought in an administration led by Bill Polian and Marv Levy. All they would do is get the Bills to four straight Super Bowls from 1990-93. The only other time it happened was 1942, · when Chicago was 11-0 and Detroit 0-11. Most of the focus this time is on the Patriots. They were caught in the first game of the season illegally taping the New York Jets' defensive signals. Belichick was fined $500,000, the team was fined $250,000, imd the Patriots lost their first-round draft choice in 2008. So dominant have they been since that oddsmaKers are having trouble setting lines to entice wagers a~aiost them. They are winmug by scores like 52-7 and. 56-I 0, and their average victory margin is 23 points a game. Belichick has left his regulars in the game well into the fourth quarter against outmanned opponents - proof that he doesn't need contraband information. By comparison, while the Patriots win big, the Dolphins lose small - six defeats by three points. They slogged through the Pittsburgh mud for 59 minutes and 43 seconds Monday night before the Steelers managed a field goal to win 3-0. . The Patriots already are a mini-dynasty, winning Super Bowls after the 2001, 2003 and 2004 seasons and reaching the AFC championship game last year before blowing a 21-3 lead and losing 38-34 to Indianapolis. The Patriots then filled their biggest hole with three standout wide receivers, including Randy Moss, who was obtained for a fourthround pick from Oakland, where he was hurt and unhappy. His 16 touchdown catches are just six short of Jerry Rice's single-season record of 22. Then there is Wes Welker, obtained from Miami. He is second in the league with 81 catches, including 13 last ~unday night in a 31-28 win over Philadelphia , that was only the second game this season the Patriots won by Jess than I7 points. Their presence has turned quarterback Tom Brady into a record-breaker as well as a winner. The MVP in two of the three Super Bowl victories, Brady already has 39 TD passes this season, just short of · Peyton I0 Manning's record, and the win over Philadelphia was the first game this season in which he had fewer than three. Letting Welker go is one of many questionable deci- CLASSIFIED In One Week With Us classltied@!;::~ribune.com REACH OVER 285,000 PROSPECTS PLUS YOUR AD NOW ONLINE To Place mrtbune Sentinel a . calr;:.::r....(7!?a~ To446~~~~2 (7!~~ To~7!~-2~~6 Dally Monday thru Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. At left, M1am1 Dolphins' Will Allen (25) watches the fmal seconds of a 3-0 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in NFL football aCtion in Pittsburgh, Monday wh1le at nght, New England Patnots quarterback Tom Brady celebrates a touchdown against the Philadelphia Eagles dunng ~re~r NFL football game Sunday in Foxtlorough, Mass." sions by the Dolphins, who Kraft, IS a model owner, run- With f1ve titles in Green Bay subsequently retired and also have been hurt badly by ning hi s team as ran the from 1959-67, when there then was suspended for paper companies that made was no free agency or salary almost two years after testinjury.

Cincinnati Bengals receiver said emphatically. "If it's the same, it's terrible. I can't imagine the field being the same way as it was Monday." The footing was about as bad as it gets during the Pittsburgh Steelers' 3-0 victory over Miami on Monday night, when heavy rain turned a new field of sod into a ·witches' brew o( divots and muck. Many of the Bengals (4-7) watched on television, knowing that they're headed for Pittsburgh and that same · field on Sunday night. The sight of players slipping and sl~ding around made . them wmce.

"At the same time, it's fun. It's kind of one of those old-school (games), back in the days when you were a kid runnin~ around pl<l)ling in the mud.' .
