AP MILITARY WRITER WASHINGTON Looking for new ways to bolster its thinning ranks, the Army National Guard is seeking legal authority to offer $15,000. bonuses to active-duty soldiers willing to join the Guard - up from $50 now. Lt. Gen. H Steven Blum, chief of the National Guard Bureau, told reporters Tuesday that the Guard is l 5,000 soldiers below its normal strength of 350,000, and · he expects further short-term ·declines despite recent gains. from tripling re-enlistment bonuses for Guardsmen deployed abroad. If the Guard fails to return to its normal troop level of 350,000 by the end of the budget year on Sept. 30,- it will be. the ftrsi time that has happened . since 1989, the three-star general said. He added that he believes he has a formula .for restoring the Guard's strength. Heavily stressed by longer-than-anticpated combat and support duties in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere, the Guard recently increased first-time enlistment bonuses and added I ,400 recruiters. In explaining his· interest in getting congressional approval for $15,000 bonus· es to entice active; duty military members to join the Guard, Blum said he believes he could get 8,000 new Guardsmen this way.

"Please . give even any example of an 'excessive fee' on any development project," challenges one letterwriter, a no-growth environmentalist, who's also a member of San Diego's Planning Commission. · "I really hate to wish anyone bad luck, but maybe the only way the media will get it right is to experience substandard construction that · the homebuilder refuses to repair," chides another lellerwriter, defending the avalanche of lawsuits California homebuilders have faced. These letter-writers. and others who think like lhem , just don't get it. They refuse to accept that development . fees and lawsuits contrihute to higher home prices in California. Thev fail tb acknowledge that land restrictions and regulations and the lengthy building- . approval process in much of California dampens growth in the state's housing supply. The irony is that the special interests who · drive up the cost of housing in the nation's most populous state, who make the dream of home-ownership that much more unattainable . for th e state's property-less, profess themselves to be acting for the commonwealth. It's not that they don't want to increase the supply of housing, they say._ It's not that they don't want home prices to be affordable to the point that a family earning the median income can afford the mepian-priced single-family home. It's not enviros are really concerned about a military base .

Litigation costs drove up in surance premiums for California builders by a whopping 149 percent, on average, which. -of course, they passed along to new tiomebuyers. A 1999 case study by Louis Masotti , formerly of Northwestern University, analyzed the cost of govern ment regulations on a prototypical single-family home in Carlsbad, Calif. He calculated that they added an average 26 percent to the cost of a home. ·A 1980 study by the Bay Area Council found that delays in building approvals add as much as 21 percent to the sale' price of a new home. More recently, a 1997 text on land use and planning law, authored by Daniel Curtin . eslimated that the time needed to gain approval ' for a project in California had more than doubled over a 20-year span.

' January 26, 2005 DQCTOR CUTS WALL STREET TIES TO AVOID POTENTIAL CONFLICT Bv JOE MILICIA· ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER CLEVELAND - · A prominent Cleveland Clini c researcher has stopped working as a paid consultant for <I Wall Street fund and has broken ties to many drug companies to avoid any potential conflicts of interest. Fortune magazine reported in December that Dr. Eric Topol, a critic of the arthritis drug Vioxx, was a paid consultant to a hedge fund that was betting against shares of Mei·ck & Co., the drug's maker. Topol said he didn't know Great Point Partners ' Biomedical Value fund was short selling Merck and that he had no financial interest in the fund. He has since not only resigned from his role as con. sultant to' the fund , but has left consultant positions . with numerous other drug, diagnostics and medical device companies, including Eli Lilly. . Topol said it's important for him in his role as the clinic's AP photo/Tony Dejak . Dr. Eric J. Topol, chairman of the department of cardiology at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, is shown in a . heart catherization lab at the Clinic in.this Jan. 4, 2001, file photo. Like pther doctors facing a poten\ial conflict of interest, Topol has stopped working as a paid consultant fo r a hedge fund that was betting against a drug he criticized. chief academic officer to avoid even the perception of a conflict of interest. · "Dealing with the con- . flicts is tricky. The best way is not to have any," Topol said Tuesday. Doctors at the prestigious clinic and elsewhere increasingly face similar conflicts now that more medical research • is being funded by private industry, said Mildred . Cho, associate director of Stanford University's Center · for Biomedical Ethics . She said she respect s Topql's deci sion . "I think it's an appropriate response for someone like him as a clini cal researcher, also as a person in a leadership position at a clinical research in stitution ," Cho said. Dr. Catherine D. DeAngeli s, editor in chief of the Journal of the Ameri can Medical Association , said physicians need to take back their profession by refusin g to take money from for-profit companies. She advised Topol to sever his paid consultant positions. ''There 's only one way out: give it all .up," she said "1. really hope that other physi cians and scienti sts look at him and say, 'That's what I should do."' The clinic does not have a policy that prevents doctors from being paid for their consuiting ·work. It is developing a policy advising doctors not to have relationships with investment firms. Another new policy will educate ·ph ysician s about potenti al conflicts and way s of avoiding them. "We don't want to ·stifle researchers from doi ng good work. We have to do a better job of ·managing those con-. flict s;" clinic spokeswoman Eileen Sheil said. Topol said that when physicians work with private companie s it often lead s to new drugs or technology that helps patients.

Owens' doctor said he will : not give the All-Pro receiver · clearance to play in the Super : Bowl. However, Owens could ignore those instructions and be in uniform for the Philadelphia Eagles against the New England Patriots oh Feb. 6. :' One day after telling · reporters he would return for the NFL title game, Owens got discouraging news froin Dr. Mark Myerson on Tuesday night during his . weekly checkup in Baltimore. · Myerson said in a statement : that he's pleased with Owens' recuperation. but maintains the surgery requires a recovery period of eigh~ to I!) weeks. Myerson also said that any attempt to accelerate the . rehabilitation process poses the same risk for injury. Owens has insisted he ' ll be on the field playing instea~ of leading cheers on the s1de- lines in Jacksonville, Fla. The Eagles' doctors and training staff should have the fina l say on Owens' status. · "Spiritually I've been healed and I believe that I' ll be out · there on that field . Sunday, regardless of what anybody· says," Owens said while sitting courtside at a 76ers game against Miami on Monday night. Owens was expected to test his injured ankle on the field this week and could try running as early as Wednesday. Myerson inserted two screws in Owens' right ankle ·and a plate on the outside of the ankle three days after he was injured against Dallas on Dec. 19. By not clearing Owens to play, Myerson should be absolved of any blame if Owens goes against his wishes and then re-injures the ankle.

Roethlisberger didn't specify Tuesday which toes were broken, and he wasn't walking with an apparent limp. He believes he was hurt while stumbling ·on a I 3-yard run late · in the fi'rst half, amid a drive that later stalled in the 41-27 loss Sunday. "It's a good thing I'm t\ot punting any more," said Roethltsberger, who was a part-time punter in college at Miami of Ohio. · I Eagles from Page 8.1 rounded out the EHS scoring. The Lancers were led by Brandon Barnhart with 19 points, : followed by Evan Garrett with 17 and Aaron Rupe with I 5. Jonathan Thompson added I 2· and Cody Homsby had 10 in the win. The hosts claimed a 40-32 edge on the boards and held Eastern to 35 percent (23-65) from the field, including an uncharacteristic 6-of-27 (22 percent) from behind the arc. Fed Hock netted 26-of-62 field goal attempts (42 ·percent) and committed just I 3 ' ' > I ' Despite getting hurt on an I I -degree night, Roethlisberger saw his statistics improve after the injury. He was 5-of-1 0 for 77 yards and two pivotal interceptions as New England opened a 24' 3 lead by halftime, but was 9" of-14 for 149 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in the second half. While acknowledging the foot injury. the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year brushed off weeks' worth of rumors that he hurt his right thumb late in ·the season. "''m fine, I'll be ~ealth y by next year," he said. The vague answer was similar to the. one he offered after throwing two intercepti!)ns in a 20-17 overtime playotf victory over the New York Jets on Jan. 15. Then, when asked about a possible thumb injury, he said, "I' m not going to make excuses." Roethlisberger said his arm became tired during his tirst NFL season, though he wouldn't speculate if it contributed • to hts late-season falloff in production. He had 12 touchdown passes and four interceptions in his first I0 starts, but only six TD passes and 10 interceptions in his last fiveincluding t1ve interceptions in two playoff games. "My ann got a little tired," he said. "I didn' t throw as much as Peyton Manning. but I threw a· lot more than I did playing 10 or 12 games" in college.. . . . . · Offenstve coordmator Ken Whisenhunt said opponents began defending the Steelers' passing game differently · as the season progressed, dropping more defenders into cov- erage on third down to create traffic in the passing lines and make it harder for Roethlisbt;rger to find receivers "Physically, it wears on you . It's a weariness from the whole season, and then you. have to play against coach (Bill) Belichick's defense, and that'.s always tough," Roethlisberger said. ".There's a lot of different things the~ threw at us, looks and blitzes.

Zydrunas llgauskas · hopes he's around for the next photo session . With his six-year, $7 1 million contract set to expire after this season, Cleveland's 7-{oot-3 center can't be certain about the near future of . his NBA career. However, he does koow where he wants to fini sh it. "I would love to win a cha!llpionship here," he said. "in Cleveland." For that to happen, the Cavaliers must tirst decide if they want to re-invest in llgauskas, who will make $14.6 million this season and is eligible for free agency this summer. The Cavs have until March I to sign him to a contract extension. After that, they can only negotiate with llgauskas until the end of the season. If llgauskas, who has overcome serious foot injuries to become .an All-Star and one of the league's premier big men , remains a free agent on July I; his salary cap "holp" would' tie up about $2 I 1i1illion, preventing the improved Cavaliers from pursuing other free a~ents. llgauskas has had rece~t conversations with Gund, who has agreed to sell his majority share of the Cavaliers to Detroit businessman Dan Gilbert for $375 million. However, Ilgauskas has not been offered a deal yet. Ilgauskas' status is sure to be one of the major topics of discussion this week as ·Gilbert, Gund and general manager Jim Paxson hold state-of-the-Cavs meetings to· rnap out the team' s plans. ~ · Gilbert reportedly has reservations about committi ng another large contract to the 29year-old llgauskas, who has overcome a history of foot problems to play 264 games since his last serious injury. If Gilbert decides, not to re-sign llgauskas. the team could choose to trade him before next month's deadline, but they may have trouble finding ·a deal that fits financially because of llgauskas · salary. · The engaging Lithuanian remains loyal to Gund , who stuck by him while he was hurt. llgauskas doesn't want to leave Clevelatld, but he's seen so much change since joining the · club in 1996 that he knows anything is possible. · "Whatever happens, happens /' II~auskas said at the possibility of being dealt. 'I can't worry about that. The important thing is to focus on this season and help us get to be as good as we can. We're halfway through the season and we're eight games over .500." AP photo Cleveland center Zydrunas llgauskas believes the Cavaliers are good enough to make a deep run in the NBA playoffs this season, · but with the Feb. 24 trade deadl ine approaching, he may not be around to ·s ee it happen. Finding a suitable replacement for llgauskas would be tough. He's averaging 16.J points and 7.7 rebounds, numbers .that compare favorably to the league's elite centers like Shaquille O'Neal, Yao Ming and Ben Wallace. There are games, though, when llgauskas. struggles. He did Monday night, when he scored I I points with four rebounds before fouling out in a loss to Washington. Still. llgauskas presents many opposing teams with severe matchup problems. He's also the only Cavs player who can draw a double-team, tilting the floor to take pressure off star LeBron James. · "We depend on him to carry us inside, and that's what he's done,'' said Cavaliers secondyeiil' coach Paul Silas, who benched llgauskas last season at]d has demanded more defense and rebounding from him. In James, Ilgauskas has perhaps his strongest ally as well as leverage in upcoming contract talks. Jarnes wants Ilgauskas to stay with ·Cleveland and recently joked that he would work on gening his center a new deal. on the night with a 51-38 victory in the junior varsity tilt.

Reuse Industries, which serves Meigs County, takes into its electroniq recovery program outdated clBctronics fron\ organizations and individual s in .southem and central Ohio. It then recycles the donations completely, thereby keeping the unwanted electronics and their hazardous components out of landfills. The $18,000 grant was made by the f6undation in its 2003 -2004 grant cycle as part of its grant making efforts to support "home grown" economic development activities. According to -ReUse Industries. 70 percent of loads that enter landfills have recyclable t~lectronic components in them . Electronic campo: nents contain materials that are haz: ardous if not recycled p.:Operly, . including lead, mercury. barium. cadmium. chromium. lithium and nickel. Exposure to · these substances . can lead to sei;ious respiratory .and nervous system prof>lems. · On the second floor of the sales barn, the unwanted electronics go through a variety of tests to see if they can be refurbished and sold to the public at a fraction of the cost of new.
