Marcu s Frazie r made a three-pointer as time expired to give th~ Oak Hill Oaks basketball team their first loss of the season at the Newt Oliver Coaches Classic in Rio Grande on Saturday night. Frazier had 15 points and was named the River Valley Player of the Game for hi s performance. Ryan Henry had a doubledouble with a game-high 20 points and 13 rebounds fur the Raiders, ·who are back above .500 at 3-2 . River Valley senior Ryan Eggleton scored I 5 points. wl!h mne ot those pm.hts coming from beyond the arc . Sophomore Cody McAvena and senior· Zak Deel each finished with two. With 2. 8 seconds remaining and the score tied at 61, Henry 's in-boundsfass from the opposite end o the tloor connected with Frazier just past half-court amidst two Oak Hill defenders. Frazier · took one dribble , squared himself to the basket, and fired a long three that sent the River Valley side of Newt Oliver Arena into ari uproar. The previous night in South Point, Frazier had the same opportunity !O win the game on the final play but was unable to connect. With under a minute to jlO. Oak Hill (6-1) was holdmg the ball for the final shot. Sophomore Kyle Ondera dribbled outside the perimeter, waiting until u11der 10 seconds were left on the clock before trying to drive to the basket. McAvena closed him down, however, not allowing Ondera to get a shot off and then forcing a jump ball with the help of his teammates, which gave the Raiders possession with less than three seconds left.

Newt Oliver Coaches Classic. "Last night the talk was 'That will be a 15 or 20point win for South Point.' I told the kids you earn your respect on the court. I think with this win tonight maybe we'll earn a little respect." Indeed. The Raiders (3-2) led early and led often against the Oaks (6-1 ).

AS ' �The Daily Sentinel ·PageA2 NATION • WORLD Tuesday, December 18,2007 BY SCHEHEREZADE FARAMARZI ASSOCIATED PRESS WR ITER MECCA, Saudi Arabia - Performing the hajj', the annual Muslim pilgrimage more ancient than Islam itself, is complicated and confusing even for those well-versed in Islam - so it's particularly intimidating for someone who's hardly religious. As a secular journalist covering this central pillar of Islam, which began Monday, I am determin~d to go through the rites with an open inind. A major hurdle is learning what to do.' Before ·leaving my hotel in Jiddah for the holy city of Mecca, I took the first required steps. I bathed and put on the special clothes of a woman performing hajj: a long white head scarf, a long · shirt, a pair of loose pants and a white robe to my ankles. My colleague, AP Television News cameraman Imad Saeid, coached me through the next step: announcing my .intention to perform the pilgrimage. I repeated after him the formula proclaiming the .start of my journey, "Labeik, Allahuma, labeik"- "I am here at Your service, Lord, I am here." During the drive Sunday through the desert to Mecca -the birthplace of Islam 's Prophet Muhammad, about 50 miles east of Jiddah the rest of The Associated Press team gave me a crash course on the rituals, starting with the Kaaba, the black cube-shaped stone shrine that pilgrims circle seven times at the start and end of the hajj. APTN's Mokhtar Shehada, an Egyptian, wondered if he had to make amends for being aggressive the previous day to a pilgrim who pushed him as he was circling the Kaaba. Hajj rules warn against arguing or fighting during the five-day pilgrimage. Shehada stressed that he had already apologized to the pilgrim.

But, ularly in Saudi Arabia as I found, it also makes the genders are strictly seg- regated. In much of the Arab world, men and women are separated when they pray in mosques, and many conservative men consider it -a sin to shake hands with women. But here in the most sacred place in the Muslim world , men and women ·pray side by side and touch without the slightest inhibition. A major theme of the ha.ii is the equality of all mankind before God man and woman, rich and poor, young and old. But it's riot without friction. In the lineup for prayers, a man chastised two women sitting comfortably in front of him for "not giving room to men" to pray. "It's not right," he barked, pointing his finger at the women. who ignored him. After prayers , we entered the Grand Mosque - stepping with the right foot first as required - to perform the "tawaf," the circling of the Kaaba. Inside the giant, multilevel mosque is the mesmerizing sight of a river of people moving around the shrine, as if ice skating in slow motion. The roots of the· hajj go· back to·Abraham, known to Muslims by his Arabic name Ibrahim and considered part of a line of prophets completed by Muhammad in the 7th century. Abraham and his son · Ishmael are believed to have bui It the Kaaba, the focal point of Muslims around the world · when they pray every day. But it was difficult to get into the state of spirituality that many secular friends promised I would reach , despite my skepticism and doubts. I was distracted by the pilgrims pushing and shoving, and by the view out of the open-air mosque heavy construction cranes and colorful towers of five-star hotels. I tried to pay attention to the rules, laid out in a booklet provided by pilgrims, but kept forgetting things like raising my hands to the sacred black • stone at one corner of the Kaaba at each circuit as all pilgrims do. In the mosque's halls surrounding the Kaaba, many pilgrims rested. napped, ate or chatted with each other or on cell phones plugged into sockets on the marble columns above shelves bearing AP SCIENCE WRITER WASHINGTON - The latest act of senseless violence caught on tape is cosmic in scope: A black hole in a "death star galaxy" blasting a neighboring g<~laxy with a deadly jet of radiation and energy. A fleet of space and ground telescopes have captured images of this cosmic violence, which people have never witnessed before, according to a new study released Monday by NASA. "It's like a !Jully, a blackhole bully punching the nose of a passing galaxy," said astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Ty son, director of the Hayden Planetarium in New York, who wasn't involved in the research . But ultimately, this could be a deadly punch. The t~lescope images show the bully galaxy shooting a stream of deadly radiation particles into the lower section of the other galaxy, which is about one-tenth its size. Both are about 8.2 billion trillion miles from here, orbiting around each other. The larger galaxy has a multi -di git name but is called the "death star galaxy" by one of the re sea rchers who discovered the galactic bullying. • Daniel Evans of the . eventually an area of hot Har.vard-Smithsonian gas that gets hit and compressed by this mysterious Center for Astrophysics.

Brenda Fry Pomeroy TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Tuesday, Dec. 18, the 352nd day of 2007. There are 13 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On Dec . 18, 1944, in a pair of ruling~ . the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the wartime relocation of JapaneseAmericans (Korematsu v. United States), but also said undeniably loyal Americans of Japanese ancestry could not continue to be detained (Ex parte Endo). Thought for Today: "The only thing we have to fear on this planet is man." - Carl Jung, Swiss psychologist (1875-1961). There's a two-word answer to Lou Dobbsism, detined as the terror that immigration and free . trade are destroying the American middle class. One is "inno~ation." And the second is "'investment.,. Innovation - the continued development of new products and techniques has been and will be America's opportunity to stay ahead of global competition . And innovation requires investment - in research, education and health care - to keep U.S. companies and workers competitive. Three new tracts, by "New Democrat" economists Edward Gresser and Robert Shapiro, and by former Lockheed Martin CEO Norm Augustine, counter Dobbsian pessimism with the case. for action to cope with globalization. . They argue forcefully that economic globalization is not only inevitable, but beneficial, ~;loth for the United States and developing countries - and that isolationism and protectionism are · disastrous. In · fact, reducing trade with Latin American countries. including Mexico, likely will increase the number of poor workers who tty to emigrate to the United States . And Latin American poverty will strengthen the anti· American appeal of Venezuelan !dictator Hugo Chavez. l There's no questi\)n that Dobbs' daily rants on CNN against "amnesty" and "offshoring" tap into public anxieties about the effects of .a glo balized econoniy and changi ng demographics, Politicians are playing the game, too. Republicans , includin g most GOP presidential candidates, have picked up the anticimmigrant theme. They say It 's illegal immigration they're against, but none of them is advocating increased legal immigration, either, even for scientists and highly skilled workers. And Democrats increas· ingly have turned anti-free trade. As a prime example, showed the public evenly divided over whether foreign trade represents an "opportunity" or a ".threat" to the country.

ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER CHICAGO - F. David Radler, former publisher of the Chicago Sun-Times and No. 2 man in the once-pow· erful Hollinger International newspaper empire, was . sentenced Monday to 29 months in prison for hi s role in stealmg millions of dollars from Hollinger share.holders. "I' m sorry for what I've done," said Radler, 65, who had pleaded guilty to fraud and testified against his longtime business partner and head of Hollinger,' Conrad Black, in return for a lenient sentence. Radler, who already has paid millions in restitution, also was tined $250,000. Black was sentenced last week ·to 6 112 years in prison for . sw'indling Hollinger shareholders out of $6 million. Although prosecutors had sought a much harsher sentence for Black, U.S. Distr1ct Judge Amy J. St. Eve said Black's sentence should be closer to that of Radler, calling them "equally culpable." St. Eve on Monday told Radler he had breached his duty, noting he "took a lot of money from Hollinger at great International expense to the company and the shareholders." But the judj?.e also acknowledged hts cooperation with prosecutors. "You certainly have tried tq right your wrongs," she told Radler, who .must begin serving his sentence Feb . 25. St. Eve said she would recommend a Pennsylvania prison. Radler's attorney, Anton · Valukas. said the sentencing brings relief for his client. "This is the first day of the rest of his life," Valukas . said after the hearing. Black and Radler built Hollinger from scratch. starting with a tiny. moneylosing , English language paper in French-speaking Canada, the Sherbrooke . Record. In time, the company became an ·international colossus. Black. Radler and three co-defendants were charged with ,;phoning money out of the company through payments made by buyers of Hollinger International community papers in return for promises not to compete with the new owners. Prosecutors said such payments should go to shareholders. Radler pleaded guilty and made his deal with prosecutors while Bla<:k and his co-defendants, other Canadian executives Peter Atkinson and Jack Boultbee and Chicago attorney Mark Kipnis, demanded a jury trial. They originally were charged with swindling shareholders out of an esti· mat< ~60 million.

December 18, 2007 • • BATAVIA (AP) - Federal funds will be used to help eliminate the manufacture, sale and use of the devastating drug methamphetamine in four communities as part of a program the state attorney general hopes to see spread across Ohio. The $2 million in ~rant money will fund a two-year initiative aimed at eradicating the illegal drug - commonly referred to as meth - in Clermont and Highland counties in southwest Ohio and in Ashtabula County and the city of Akron in northeast Ohio. Attorney General Marc Dann said Monday at a news conference. "Meth use doesn't just affect the meth cooks and users," Dann said. "It has deep and lasting effects on the community as a whole - crushing dreams and devastating communities." The drug is a stimulant that atTects the nervo~s system and can cause increased heart rate, loss of appetite, severe dental problems and violent behavior, paranoia and hallucinations, the attorney general's office said. . . The ease with which the drug can be made 10 relatively small areas using comma~ i~gredients such. as household chemicals and cold medications has contnbuted to the growth of the problem, Dann's office said .. The project will include the attorney general's Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation and law enforcement officials in Akron and the three counties, Dann said. · Authorities will receive specialized equipment an~ resources, including hazardous matenal protecttve gear, a1r quality meters and surveillance technology.

Dolls from PageA1 '•• ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER SAN DIEGO - Border Patrol agents are firing tear gas and powerful pepperspray weapons across the border into Mexico to repel what the agency says are an increasing ' number of attacks by assailants hurlin~ rocks, bottles . and bncks. · The counteroffensive has drawn complaints that innocent families are being caught in the crossfire. "A neighbor shouted, 'Stop it! There are children living here," said , Esther Arias Medina, 41, who on Wednesday fled her Tijuana.. Mexico, shanty w1th her 3-week-old grandson after the infant began coughing from smoke that seeped through the walls. A helmeted agent on the U.S. side said nothing as he stood with a rifle on top of a 10-foot border fence next to the three-room home that Arias shares with six oth· ers. "We don't deserve this," Arias said. "The people who live here don't throw rocks. Those are people who come from the outside, but we're paying the price." Witnesses in Arias' hardscrabble neighborhood described eight attacks since August that involved tear gas or pepper spray, some thllt forced residents to evacuate. The Border Patrol says its agents have been attacked nearly 1,000 times during a one-year period. The agency's top official in San Diego, Mike Fisher, said agents are taking action because Mexican authorities have been slow to respond. When an attack happens, he said, American authorities often wait hours for them to come, and help usually never arrives. "We have been taking steps to ensure that our agents are safe," Fisher sa id. Mexico's acting consul general in San Diego, Ricardo Pineda. has insisted that ~.S. authori.ties stop tiring onto Mexican soil. He met with Border Patrol officials last month after the agency fired tear gas into Mexico. The agency defended that counterattack, saying agents were beinj?. hit with a hail of ball beanngs from slingshots in Mexico. U.S. officials say the vio· knee indicates that smugglers are growing more desperate as stepped-up security makes it harder to sneak across the border. The assailants try to distract agents long enough to let people dash in the United States. The head of a union representing Border Patrol employees said the violence also results from the decision to put agents right up against the border, a departure from the early 1990s when they waited farther back to make arrests. "When you get that close to the fence. your agents are sitting ducks," said T.J. Bonner, president of the National Border Patrol Council. Border Patrol agents were attacked 987 times along · the U.S.-Mexico border during the 12-month period that ended Sept. 30, the agency said. That's up 31 percent from 752 attacks a year earlier. and it's the highc .t number since the agency began recording attacks in the late 1990s. About two-thirds of the attacks were with rocks . Many of the rest involved physical assaults, such as tllegal immigrants getting into fist fights with guards. About one of every four attacks occurred in San Singing attorneys "Don't spend a lot of money on me this year: fatally shot a rock thrower :11 the San Diego-Tijuana borde.r.

Robis Guadalupe Argumedo. ,a seamstress in Tijuana, said she has been startled by tear gas O'! four nights since Aug. 7, when her 12-year-old son suffered a nose bleed. That attack also shattered a window of her neighbor's car. Argumedo, 31, said she shouted in protest across the border at a helmeted agent on Dec. 8 after opening hef front door to a cloud of tear gas. "He said: 'I'm the policeman of the world and I can do what I want."' Benito Aria> sa.id his 19year-old sister-in-law fainted during an apparent tear gas attack about two weeks ago.

He said he sympathizes · with the Border Patrol because Mexican authorities do nothing to prevent people from hurling rocks over the fence at agents.

Agent Joseph Ralph estimates he has been struck by rocks 20 times since joining the Border Patrol in 1987, once fracturing a shoulder blade. "You find yourself trying to take cover," he said. About four months ago, a large rock struck the hood of agent Ellery Taylor's vehicle. "The only thing you can think is, 'I'm glad that that wasn't my head.' There's no way to see it ·coming," Taylor said. · In October, agents in California and Arizona received compressed-air guns that shoot pepperspray canisters more than 200 feet. Agents already had less powerful pepperlaun~hers that lose their punch after about 30 feet even less if absorbed 'by thick clothing or cardboard. The Border Patrol says the pepper weapons are a less lethal alternative to regular guns, bur they have <;aused at least one fatality. In October 2004, a college student died after she was struck in the eye hy a pep· per-spray canister that officers fired to control a celebration of the Red Sox's pennant win.

Two of the four were related and all were from the same town in Mexico, Owens said. He declined to release their names and said he did not know the name of the town. 'There is some question about the quality of the identifications," Owens said. noting that no ID card of any sort was found in the apartment. A message was left at the Mexican consulate in Indianapolis asking if officials there had been notified . Only one wallet was found in the Sharonville apartment, and it contained $ l ,300, Owens said. "That's a lot of money to leave behind," he said. The cause of death was a combination of blunt force trauma and stabbing. Owens said.' A knife was used in the stabbings. but Owens declined to say what kind of knife was used or to identi fy the object used to bludgeon the men. Three of the victims appeared to have been killed.while in bed, possibly while asleep, Owens said. Only two showed some sign of struggling. All had been dead a week to nine days, meaning toxi cology tests would have to rely on tissue samples rather than blood, and results could take a couple weeks, Owens saiQ. Despite the general condi. lion of the partly decomposed . bodies, the men's faces should be identifiable, Owens said. There was almost no furniture, no television or stereo and very few clothes in the apartment where the men were found Thursday, Owens said . There were eggs and tortillas in the refrigerator. Receipts found in the apartment appeared to show that the men were sending money to rei ali ves in Mexico. One receipt was for $2,500, Owens said.

"ft was a simple lifestyle, no wild parties or anything like that" CLEVELAND The elections board in Ohio's most populated county, under pressure to abandon its method of electronic voting, decided Mond~y it needed more time to study the issue. Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner issued a report Friday that concluded Ohio's electronic voting systems have critical security flaws that make them vulnerable to tampering. She recommended that Cuyahoga County, along with . the rest of the state, move away from touch-screens to optical-scan systems. which may be more se.cure. "She's told us what her preference is, but she recognizes it's our decision," said Jeff Hastings, chairman of the Cuyahoga County Elections Board. Brunner recommended that Cuyahoga County, which has been plagued with electronic voting problems, switch to opticai:.scan machines in time fof ffie state's March 4 presidential primary. Jl!e eles:Jj,qps board on Mo•tday listened to the opinions of public officials, voting machine vendors and citizens during daylong meeting. They adjourned until Thursday afternoon, when board member Davis Chappell, who was absent Monday, was expected to return. Allan Benek, a vice president with Omaha, Neb.based voting machines vendor ·Election Systems & Software, told Cuyahoga's . elections board that ES&S is ready to immediately help set up an optical-scan system in the county. But board members responded that the reliability of ES&S voting machines was also questioned in Brunner's report. . Chappell said in prepared statement that the lioard must act · imllle,diately jp J~9c!Jr· dance w1tll Brunner's recommendations. "Staying with our current vendor seems an option fraught with peril," Chappell said in the statement. She said the cause of a computer server shutdown that led to delays in the county during last November's election, when voter turnout was low, remains a mystery. 1n Ohio, 57 of the state's 88 counties use a touch-screen voting system; the others use optical-scan machines, where voters use. a pen to fill out a ballot that is then scanned.

River Valley wins tight game over Lady Eagles BY ERIC RANDOLPH SPORTS@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM TUPPERS PLAINS Brooke Marcum scored 11 points, Kelsey Sands made two clutch free-throws in the last minute, and the River Valley Lady Raiders basketball team came from behind to defeat the Eastern Lady Eagles 52-49 on Monday night. For the second lime this season, the Lady Raiders (53) emerged victorious after a close game with the Lady Eagles (1-7). The first meeting saw River Valley gain a lead and then hold onto it for most of the nijlhl, eventu~ly winning 63-56. Monday the result was the same, but the way in which they arrived there was entirely different. · The Lady Eagles had a strong opening quarter. Leading the way for the home learn was Katie Hayman. The senior was three-of-four from the foul line with seven points in the first, helping her team gain a 16-7 lead. "We came out pretty slow," said River Valley head coach Renee Gilmore. "We had to make some adjustment trying to pick up our defense." That adjustment was a change to a" full-court press designed to generate turnovers and break up Eastern's flow. And it would prove fruitful. Still down 19- l 2 after two minutes, the Lady Raiders defense forced those needed turnovers and slowed the Lady Eagles down. By the 4:30 mark the deficit was cut to just one at 21 -20. "When we were converting the stops into points, that was when the big difference came," said Gilmore. · · A half-minute later, River Valley would go in front for the first time, and the score at half-time · was 28-26 in their favor. "River Valley kept coming at us," said Eastern head coach Brad Quillen. "They put a press on us that got us more out of rhythm than anything . They did a good job with it." But unlike the first game between them, the Lady Eagles did not let the Lady Raiders get a large le~d . Though they would get down by as many as four points in the early going of the third , Eastern battled back and tied the score at 35 just minutes later. · "Hayman had another big night for . us.
