The sap had dried to a latex-like sheen on her skin, so she cleaned the affected area using. liberal amouQtS of soap and warm water. "I made the really big mistake of forgetting about it.

I I BY 1191 FB..L.m MSOCI~TEO · The Daily Sentinel PRESS WRITER WASHINGTON While President Bush acknowledges the need for major changes in Iraq, he will not use this week's Iraq Study Group report as political cover for bringing troops home, his national security adviser said Sunday. · "We have not failed in Iraq," Stephen Hadley said as he made the talk show rounds. "We will fail in Iraq if we pull out our troops before we're in a position to help the Iraqis succeed." But he added: "The president understands that we need to have a way forward in Iraq that is more successful." The White House readied for an · important week in the debate over Iraq: Bush . planned a meeting Monday with Abdul-Aziz ai-Hakim, the Shiite leader of the largest bloc in Iraq's parliament, and awaited the recommendations Wednesday from the bipartisan commission . Yet his administration , hoping to find a new way ahead in Iraq, found itself on the defensive from the second recent IUk of an insider's memo on Iraq in a week. . The latest, first reported in Sunday's New York Times, showed that Donald H. Rumsfeld called ·ror a "major adjustment" in U.S. tactics on Nov. 6 - the day before an election that cost Republicans the Congress and Rumsfeld his job as · defense secretary. Hadley played down the memo as simply a laundry list of ideas rather than a call for a new course of action. He said that Bush - just before a pivotal election · was not pprtraying a different sense of the war to the increasing point of emphasis as the unpopular war rolls on. Bush, after a meeting last week in Jordan, expressed confidence that lraqt Prime Minister Nouri al·Maliki and his government can lead the country toward peace with suppon from the United States. Yet Hadley was left Sunday to defend his own memo that called that very point into question. Written on Nov. 8 but disclosed just before Bush's meeting with the Iraqi leader, the memo described al-Maliki as "either ignorant of what is going on, misrepresenting his intentions or that his capabilities are not yet sufficient to tum ' his good intentions into action." Hadley said Sunday abput the memo: "I made an assessment, raised a number . -of questions, hard questions that should have been raised.

Analysts differed on how much they believed Pfizer stock would fall when it opened on Monday. Barbara Ryan, an analyst at Deutsche Bank, said she believed the dividend yield ofroughly 4 percent would keep shares from a free fall, but another analyst estimated the stock could plunge to $20 a share. Pfizer shares closed Friday at $27.86 on the New York Stock Exchange. The world's largest drugmaker said Saturday that ;m independent' board monitoring a study fllr cholesterol treatment torcetrapib recommended that the work end because of an unexpected number of deaths. The news is devastating to Pfizer, whiCh had been counting on the drug to revitalize stagnant sales that have. been hurt by numerous patent ·expirations on key products.

Lipitor sales totaled $12.2 billion last year. · "This is obviously unfor' tun ate because this was the biggest opportunity i,ll their pipeline." said Ryan .

Monday, December 4, 2006 Report finds Anny mishandled probe into Ohio soldier's death WASHINGTON (AP) · Army officials destroyed bullet fragments that could have determined who shot and killed an Ohio soldier at an Iraq checkpoint, a death now blamed on friendly fire, according to a 'government report obtained by The Washington Post. A~y Pfc .. Jesse Buryj, 21, died May 5, 2004, in Karbala. At first, the Army said he was killed when his armored vehicle was hit by a truck driven by an insurgent and that Buryj died of internal injuries. But Buryj was shot in the back by either the U.S. troops around him or Polish troops nearby, the Post reported for a story published Sunday. Military officials knew his death was a friend ly-fire case months before they officially notified his family in Canton, Ohio. An Army inspector general's report concluded that because·the case was initially labeled a hostile death, criminal investigators inadvertently destroyed the only evidence that could be used to identify a weapon - a 5.56mm bullet fragment and agents failed to collect ballistic evidence from weapons at the checkpoint. Peggy Buryj said it bothers her that she will never know the full story of her son's death. "I feel like I gave them my SOil and they've done nothing but dishonor him," she said. Army Inspector Lt. Gen. Stanley E. Green presented the family with a copy of the 47-page report last month and apologized, she said. . The report found no specific effort to cover up the shooting, but the inquiry exposed a rift between U.S. and Polish forces, the Post reported. One unnamed investigator told the inspector gen~r- ' lllllli:l COLUMBUS (AP) Coal mines are boosting production to meet .new demands for energy at a time when the state lacks the power to force the cleanup of decades-old environmental damage estimated at $300 million, a .newspaper reported. The damage left be~ind from mines abandoned before 1978 includes 36;000 acres.of land Iittered with millions of tons of strip-mined rock and waste coal, The Columbus Dispatch reported in a story published Sunday. Underground mines also leaked . poisonous metals and acids · into more than I ,000 miles of streams. A federal law passed in 1978 required states to help coal companies clean 4P sites when they close, but a backlog remains, the newspaper said. It includes an additional 913 acres on 25 mine sites that must be reclaimed at a cost of $3.8 million . "The number of acres to be reclaimed ·increases to a point where we can 'I keep · up with it," said John Husted, a state Mineral Resources Division program manager who oversees bankrupt mine-site restorations. The dilemma comes as the coal industrY is enjoying a rebound, fueled by America's appetite for more electricity. Mines are being reopened and new miners . are being hired. . Ohio coal mines produced 25.2 million tons last year, up from 2 I million tons in 2002. Power companies are spending billions to fit old plants with pollution-control devices, and they promise to create cleanerburning plants. But state programs designed to safe.· guard the land are so riddled with problems that federal officials may take over, the Dispatch reported. Ohio has a small corps of mine inspectors - one for every 26 coal sites in eastem and southeastern Ohio. That tied West Virginia lou the worst ratio of 4ny Appalachian state, according to the U.S. Office of Surface Mining. Federal officials traveled Ohio inspectors with between 2004 and 2005. George Rieger, a U.S . Office of Surface Mining division chief, said Ohio inspectors found more vio- . lations , at mines when• accompanied by federal officials. "That's an indication to us that they need to be doing a better job," Rieger said. The· other problem is . money. .State law requires . coal companies to post bonds equal to $2,500 for every acre of mined land. Ohio can tap the funds if a company collapses. but that - along with a 9-cent tax that coal companies pay on each ton of mined coal - docsn 't come close . to meeting expenses for restoring the land, the Dispatch reponed. · Ohio' s tax produced a total of $2J million for, the state last year. The state recently backed off a threat to sue Marietta Coal when the company fell behind in its restoration work. The company had $3 .9 million in bonds, but cleanup was estimated to cost $8.9 million, "When ' your bond is insufficient, there's very little leverage for them to keep up." said Tom Tugend, al that there was a sense that . U.S. investigators could not "say .anything bad about the Poles," even though they were convinced Polish shots killed Buryj, the report said. Investigators ultimately ruled that the Poles pmbably fired the fatal shot. Polish officials dispute the U.S . findings. Peggy Buryj told the Post that she believes details of her son's death were obscured or delayed to protect members of his unit or Polish troops in 2004, an election year during which President Bush often praised Poland's contribution to the fight against terrorism.

Coal mines are boosting production to meet new demands for energy at a time ~hen the state lacks the power to force the cleanup of decades-old environmental damage estimated at $300 million, the Columbus Dispatch reported. a deputy chief at Mineral Resources Management. Marietta Coal President John Nicolozakes said his company has reached an agreement with the state to do the work. "As far as Marietta Coal is concerned, I think we've done very well at rectifying the problem," he said. Federal officials have ordered Ohio to raise more money for its mining program or risk losing the power to issue permits and inspect mines, the Dispatch said. A bill in the Ohio House calls for raising more funds. If it doesn't pass, "then the federal government will have long taken over the regulation of coal mining in Ohio," said Sam Speck, director of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.

Former ·Amish teen basks in newfound freedoms BY NICOlE FtELDS NAELDSOMYDAILYREGISTER.COM MASON, W.Va. - If a picture really is worth a thousand words, Sarah Pischner's artwork speaks volumes, On the left is a self-drawn portrait of how she presently sees her life; her smile beaming from a pretty face framed by wavy brown hair. Bright orange hues radiate from the background, reminiscent, she says, of the fun she's having while she's "out living life." But it wasn't always that way, as the right side of !he portmit suggests. There, the eyes and smile are the same, but a hint of secrecy, per. haps even naivete, is shrouded by a black bonnet, a garment typical of any unwed Amish girl. For Pischntir, the picture tells two very different stories. One side explains the simplicity of her life three yean; ago, when she did as she was told and fu Ifi lied the traditional role of a young Amish girL The other side explains the period of , her life when she decided to leave everything she had ever known and seek a different life, a 'permanent escape from her mother's temper and strict rules. It was a decision the ISyear-old said was somewhat difficult to make. · "I wanted to leave, but I thought ' how am I going to make it?"' . she said. "(My sister and I) .talked about it a lot, when we were walking across the field, or some.times at' night. We shared a room, and sometimes we'd whisper from bed to bed about (leaving)." The decision to leave the · Amish religion is one that usually is made after teenagers participate in "rumspringa.'·' · or "running around." During that time, rules are relaxed, and family members accept that there likely will be a certain amount of misbehavior.. At the end'· of rumspringa, Amish young adults are expected to find a spouse and be baptized, permanently joining the church, although a few -usually less than I 0 percent -choose not to join and live the rest of their hves in wider society, ' Pischner said that her deci- •. sion to leave was not the result of less-strict living during. rumspringa; in fact, as a member of the Old Order of Amish, her family did not even practice the tradition of "running around." It was simply a matter of wanting something different, and as the youngest of four children, she watched her older brothers and sister leave and retum numerous times. Finally; in April of 200:' , she worked up the courage to leave for good. making Qne of the hardest decisions of her life at the young age of 15. She now lives in Letan with Bonnie Smithson, whom she met through- former neighbors and who ·became her legal guardian three years ago. She does still see her mother on the weekends, and she receives letters from some of the other Amish children, but her life is not nearly. what it was back then. So what exactly did she leave? As a member of one of about 10 Amish families in West Columbia, Pischner said there are plenty of mis.

Joyce 1. Brown, Extension education. and Rosemary Vance and Linda King family nutrition program assistants, presented educational and. entertaining activities for those attending the annual "holiday happening." , Brown's emphasis was on getting organized -"not to have a pristine house. but to make things work better for everyone." She stressed that things sometimes get in the way of living and the goal of getting organized is to make life a little easier. She suggested putting things where they work best for you, keeping a wastebasket handy and disposing . of non-essentials, placing things in a location near where they are used, like ~itamins near · the juice glasses, and teaching family members to pick up and put away for themselves. · She.gave a variety of tips for simplifying life and avoiding frustrations, like keeping a phone book under the front seat so you 'II have numbers available, color coding keys, making ''don't forget" notes when heading out to do errands, settling on the week's menu before starting out for the grocery, and making each family member responsible for helping out. She discouraged . too much emphasis . on maintaining a super clean house and said that someone once told h~r that "a .clean house is the sign of a misspent life."

If so, maybe the answer is to buy a sot ol aBRIDGEd by Maureen Berman' (Out ol lhe Box). The lour sUits have colors, and the cards are numbered 2 through 14. (There are no spots or pictures on the cards.) The "biddin g" is a bil like MiniBridg e, in wh ich the partnership with,the greater number ol high-card ~nts becomes the declaring side. But someone with a weak hand and a lot of distribution can pre-empt the auction to become the declarer. Belora the plav be{ins, aacll oi!Me three active players announceS both his pain/· count and thE!: length of his longest suit. This, ot course , can supply valuable information during the card play, which is identica) to bridg e e~ece pt that the open· ing leader has al ready seen the dummy Also, the declarer has stated only that he will win at least seven or 10 tricks. This deal comes from one of my classes, where West is the dealer and the auction begins with three passes. Agains/ lour hearts. West leads out his three top clubs. Declarer ruffs th e .third, draws trumps, an d cashes his four diamond tricll;s, discarding two spades from the dummy. Then, with his contract on the . line, South leads a low spade, West playing low. West had nine points in clubs. II he also had the spade ace, he would have opened the bidding. So declarer cans for dummy·~ jack . In aBRIDGEd, knowing Wesl has 11 points eliminates the " guess~ too. For more informalion, go to www.playabridged.com. AstroGraph -..
