The Cavaliers would battle back to tie the game 24-24 only to see Rio vault back on· the top 30-24 toward the end of the fiTS! half. It was at that point that things began to unravel for the Redmen. Walsh closed out the fiTSt half on a 12-2 run to take a 36-32 ' lead at' intermission. The back -breaker during the run was a three-pointer at the buzzer by Walsh freshman guard Brandon Speck.

"A failure of inflation to moderate as expected would be especially troublesome," he said. That's why so much may · · be riding on lhis holiday season. The way Americans spend before an~ ~ter Christmas - the bus1est ume for buying all year, contributing half of all sales at some retail chains - could be a deal-breaker for the Fed. Should the shqpping tum out a bust, then the Fed • might see that as a ·sign of consumer fatigue and choose to cut rates in an attempt to . stimulate growth. That eould hurt die dollar. Should sales top expectations, rates may remain steady or go up to contain inflation. That could support the dollar. Still, it's important to note that Fed actions don't always correlate with the direction of lhe dollar's every move. ln fact, what the dollar does in lhe coming monlhs also will play into the Fed's decision on interest rates. Most important, the inflationary risks that come from the slumping dollar can't be ignored. The thing about the dollar is that it tends to move in waves - the gains as well as the losses can last for a while. Come January, the outcome of the holiday shopping season will be known, but lhe fate of the dollar might not be as clear. · season Lany Dale Ashbum Debbie Malthews Howard Frankfort, Ky.

But like the provemial dog chasing tht: car down the road, we must consider what we would .do after we caught it."

Federal appeals court hears free-speech arguments 2 soldiers jom Ohio killed in Iraq BY TERRY KINNEY ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER CINCINNATI - A federal appeals court began wrestling · Wednesday wilh' the question of whether a village ordinance violates free speech guidelines because it prohibits certain advertising signs on parked vehicles. The suburban Cincinnati village of Glendale argued that its ordinance is a straightforward traffic safety issue with no free speech implications. A resident contended lhat his First Amendment rights were infringed because he could not put a "For Sale" sign on a car in front of his house. · The full court peppered both · sides wilh questions about what broad implications the ordinance might contain and then took the case under advisement. It often is several months before the court issues a ruling. · ll1e court normally hears cao;es in· three-judge panels. Hearings . with the full court are held only a few times a xear when a majority of active judges agree ·that a Tax from Page A1 Ranch case presents a question of exceptional public . importance. The dispute began in 2003 when Glendale attorney Chris Pagan was unable to sell a car he had accepted as partial payment for work on a case. He had no luck with a newspaper ad or a cla~sic car Web site, so he put a ."For Sale" sign on · the 1970 Mercury Cougar and parked it on the street in front of his house. Glendale police threatened to cite Pagan under (tn ordinance forbidding such signs on vehicles in public areas. Pagan removed the sign since violating the ordinance could mean a fine up to $250 and 30 days in jail. Pagan ·ended up selling lhe car for a loss, · he said, because few people knew it was for sale. He then ftled a federal lawsuit accusin~ lhe village and its police chief of violating his First Amendment rights. A U.S. District Court ruled in ' favor of lhe village, and a · 6th Circuit panel agreed. When the libertarian Institute for Justice in Arlington, .Va., took up lhe challenge, lhe appeals court agreed to a rehearing.

Didion and her husband of 40 years, John Donne, were not only . . very devoted spouses but best friends. After reading accounts of others who had lost love ones, she set a goal to not let a year pass without writing a book about her own experience. She says; "Grief is a place none of us knows until we reach it." Torres presented the contents of the book thoroughly. She commented that the sadness of the author permeates it; because of that she didlf't know if she could recommend it to others.

Nearly four years, $400 billion and more than 2,900 U.S. deaths into a deeply . unpopular war, violence is bad and getting worse, there is no guarantee of .success and the consequences of failure are great, the panel of five Republicans and five Democrats said in a bleak . ·accounting of U.S. and Iraqi shortcomings. The implications, they warned, are dire for terrorism, war in the Middle East and higher oil prices around the world. It said the United States should find ways to pull back most of its combat forces by early 2008 and focus U.S. troops on training and supporting Iraqi · units. The U.S. also should begin a "diplomatic offen- • sive" by the end of the month and engage adversaries Iran and Syria in an effort to quell sectarian violence and shore up the fragile Iraqi government, the report said. ' The report's release followed by a day the sobering assessment by Robert · Gates, confirmed Wednesday as Bush's new Pentagon chief, that the. United States is not winning jn Iraq. . ''Despite ·a massive effqrt, stability in Iraq remains elusive and the situation is deteriorating," the independent report said. "The ability of the United States to :shape outcomes is diminishring. Time is running out." .. The group's recommen: dations do not endorse :either the current White ·House strategy of staying . put in lra9 or calls from ··Bush's pohtical opponents :Jor a quick pullout .or a firm ·timetable for withdrawal. "The report is an ' acknowledgment 'that ihere :will be no military solution ·in Iraq. It will require a :political solution arnved at ;.through sustained Iraqi and ·region-wide diplomacy and :engagement," said Sen. > • Chuck Hagel, R-Neb. Incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and other Democrats said the ball is in Bush's court. "If ihe president is serious about the need for change in Iraq, he will find Democrats ready to work with him in a bipartis~n fashion to find a way to end the war as quickly as possible," Pelosi said. The Iraq panel's. leaders said they tried to avoid politically charged language such as "victory" or "civil war," but the words they chose still were powerful. The report said the current strategy is not working and laid out examples of where it has come up short. . The military reported that 10 American troops were killed Wednesday, adding to the toll of U.S. forces who have died since the invasion Saddam that toppled Hussein in early 2003. The United States has about 140,000 troops in the country. · "We do not recommend a · stay-the-course 'solution," said James A. Baker III, the former secretary of state and Bush family adviser who was co-chairman of the commission. "In our opinion, that approach is no longer viable." Former Rep. Lee Hamilton, D-lnd., the oth·er chairman, said the commission agreed With · Bush's goal of an Iraq able to govern, protect and sustain itself, but that the administration needed new approaches. "No course of action in Iraq is guaranteed to stop a slide · toward chaos," Hamilton said. "Yet, in our view, not all or,tions have been exhaustt!d. ' The report has been widely seen as an opportunity for . Bush to pivot from policies blamed in large part for Republican losses in elections last month. Bush praised the · group's work, but gave no hint of his next move. He said he would give the findings a hard look and urged Congress to do ihe same. "This report gives a very tough assessment of the situation in · Iraq," Bush said after an early morning briefing from the group of former government officials and advisers. "It is a report that brings some really very interesting proposals, and we will .take every r,roposal seriously and we w1ll act in a timely fashion." · Bush met later with members of Congress from both parties and said he wanted to cooperate to "send a message to the American people that the struggle for freedom, the struggle for our security is not the purview of one party over ihe oiher." The commission also briefed members of the Iraqi government by teleconference, and one official there agreed that Iraqis must take responsibility for their own security. "Absolute dependence on foreign troops is not possible," said Deputy Prime Minister Barham Saleh. The Bush administration has tried to keep the commission at arm's length so as not to appear hostage to its recommendations. To make the point that Bush will make his own choices, the White House stresses that other administration reviews are under way and Bush will have a menu of options to consider. Baker offered a word of caution on that point during an interview with Associated Press Television News on Wednesday. "This is the only bipartisan report for sale," and thus the one most likely to gain crucial consensus, Baker said. Among its 79 recommendations, the gn;mp said the United States should reduce political, military or economic support for Iraq if the government in Baghdad cannot make substantial progress. The report Said Iraqi leaders have failed to dehver better security or political compromises ihat would reduce violence, and it implied ihat a four-month joint U.S.-Iraqi military campaign to reduce violence in Baghdad is hopeless . "Because none of the operations conducted by U.S. and Iraqi military forces are fundamentally changing the conditions encouraging 'the sectarian violence, U.S. forces seem to be caught in a mission that has no foreseeable end," the report said.

"This ordinance has been in effect for 50 years, and apparently it's working," village attorney John Hust told the judges. Hust said the ordinance - which also bans washing or repairing vehicles in the street - is designed to keep pedestrians out of the roadway. He told judges the ban is '.'content-neutral" and, responding to a question from Chief Judge Danny Boggs, said he thought the ordinance also would ban. political signs. The dispute began in 2003 when attorney Chris Pagan was unable to sell a car he had accepted as partial payment for work on a case. He had no luck with a newspaper ad or a classic car Web site, so he put a "For Sale" sign on the 1970 Mercury Cougar a~d parked it on the street m front of his house. Glendale police threatened to cite Pagan under an ordinance forbidding such signs on vehicles in public areas. Pagan removed the sign since violating the ordinance could mean a fine up to $250 and 30 days in jail. Pagan ended up selling the car for a loss, he said, because few people knew it was for sale. He then filed a federal lawsuit accusing the village and its police chief of violating his First Amendment rights. A U.S. District Court ruled in favor of the vil!age, and a 6th Circuit panel agreed. When the libertarian Institute for Justice in Arlington, Va., took up the challenge, .the appeals court scheduled a .new hearing with all the active judges on the court. Institute attorney . Jeff Rowes told the court that Glendale failed its responsibility to present "real evi. dence of real harm" during its argument in the lower court. "This is a commercial speech case," Rowes said. "If Glendale is concerned that people walking around in the streets is dang~rous, they need to make It. Illegal to walk around m the street. Here, they regulated speech.

Wilkerson comes .through in debut CINCINNATI (AP) - Ben Wtlkerson's teammates didn't have time to wish him luck. All he could do was 'run onto the field while center Eric Ghiaciuc hobbled off, feeling his heart race as he tried to keep focused for qis first meaninl.lful NFL snap. The l'CSt ol the Cincinnati Bengals were in the huddle, listening for the ne11:t play to be called. "They really didn't have time to say much - just hey, it's your time," Wtlkerson S31d Wednesday. After two years of painful knee rehabilitation, Wilkerson's time has finally arrived. He got into the game in the second half of a 13-7 victory over Baltimol'C last Thursday night, one that prevented the Ravens from clinching the AFC North and put the Bengals at the forefront of the wild card race. Wtlkerson showed why the Bengals were willing to sign him as a free agent after the 2004 season even though he was still in the early stages of his knee rehabilitation. They knew he might be something special when he got healthy. Against the Ravens, he got his cbance. the Bengals scored on his first drive, which culminated in a 40-yard flea-flicker touchdown pass from Carson Palmer to T.J. Houshmandzadeh. Althou~h the offense didn't score agam, an offensive line missing three starters held its own. And Wilkerson had his first NFL keepsake. "I kept the game program," he said.

"That's what we ~ The seilson is long, and there's going to be injuries up and down the line. So you're going to need guys to s~p in and keep the machine rolling." . With Braham still sidelined and Ghiaciuc listed .as questionable for next Sunday's a~ainst Oakland, game Wilkerson IS in line to get his fum NFL start. He was one of the nation's top centers at Louisiana State, where he was a finali~t for the Rimington Trophy as a junior. During his senior season, he got tangled up on the last play of a 24-7 win over Vanderbilt and tore the tendon that runs across the left kneecaJ?. Because of the inJury, no one drafted him. The Bengals signed him as a free agent, knowme he wouldn't be able to play m 2005. He was finally back to full health during training camp this year, when he senled in as the thiJ:d-stting center. He knew he would eventuallv get a chance. "It was never 'if,"' he said. "Once I got the OK that if I just worked hard and rehabbed well I'd · be able .to play again, it never crossed my mind.

Ford's basket cut it to 93-91 but Gibson made two free throws with 11.4 Sacramento 8 9 .471 4 seconds left to help seal it for the Cavs, who turned up their defensive intensi.ty late after allowing the Raptors too many easy baskets. As he walked back to Cleveland's bench, Gibson, a second-round pick, was hugged by James , who is · ·gaining more confidence in his young teammate. "l told him early in the season that he's going to be a good guard in . this league, and he's going to be good for our team," James said. "We needed a guy to step up and show some poise and he did." Marshall added 19 points and Eric Snow 12 for Cleveland. · Bosh and Anthony Parker had 18 apiece and rookie Andrea Bargnani 14 for the Raptors, who had control and an · 84-77 lead with 5:13 to go. That's when James took over, accounting for 16 straight point s as the Cavaliers stormed back. He first passed to Damon Jones and Marshall for 3s. Then, he drove into the lane to draw help and passed underneath to Anderson Varejao for an easy layup ,to give .Cleveland an 85-84 lead with 3:43 left. On Cleveland's next trip, James drove baseline for a dunk, dropped a fre"e throw 32 seconds later and scored on another layin to make ii 90-84 with 2:09 left. "That's why he's mentioned for league · MVP," Toronto coach Sam Mitchell said. "It's either him , driving through the lane or getting it to other guys and them hitting contested shots." · The Raptors went cold from the floor and 3:04 without a point before Bosh scored and Fred Jones hit a 3-pointer to pull them within 90-89 . But James found Marshall for Cleveland's I Oth 3, and Gibson helped put it away at the line. Gibson's 3-pointer in the final second gave the Cavaliers, who trailed by nine in the third quarter, a 68-67 lead entering the fourth. Coming off a horrible performance at Houston when they scored just 63 , the Cavaliers managed just 18 in the first quarter and trailed by I 0 when James hit a 3-pointer with 6:36 left before halftime. Cleveland made two more 3s, and James scored six. points in the final I :36 - he had 19 in the first half- as the Cavs closed within 47-44 at halftime. Notes: The Cavs are 7-0 when they make seven or more 3s . Zydrunas Jlgauskas passed John "Hot Rod" Williams as Cleveland 's top career offensive rebounder with 1,623. ...
