Ohio attorney general CollEgE BaskEtball AP Top 25 sues seller of bogus Florida and Washington jump into Top 25 OSU-Michigan tickets · COLUMBUS (AP)- State investigators seized a computer and documents Monday from the home of a northwest Ohio man who customers' complained never sent the Ohio State-Michigan football tickets they ordered from him in an online auction. Attorney General Jim Petro also sued· Mark West, 53, of Fostoria, in Wood County Common Pleas Court, alleging several violations of the state consumer protection act and seeking a fine of $25,000 per Yiolation. So far 80 people who spent $60;000 on bogus iickets to lilst Saturday's game have come forward. "We're very actively pursuing the criminal side too," · Petro spokeswoman · . Kim Norris said. "We're looking for Mr. West to talk to him." West's wife reported him Litke from Page 81 margin, and enough versatility on defense to decide how they wanted to play. Instead of dropping seven, and sometimes even eight, defenders into pass coverage, the way teams tried to contain Peyton Manning in several low-scoring, early-season affairs, the Bengals cbose to load up in the box and take away Indianapolis' ground game. It. worked in one sense: running back Edgerrin James, who had five straight games of I00-plus rushing yards, tinished with 89. On the other hand, daring Manning to beat you is a gamble that no team save the Patriots has cashed in recently and this was no exception. Manning pulls the levers for what might be the most potent NFL offense in a while, but he is a throwback . quarterback with clearance to change any call at the line of scrimmage. All that last-second choreographing before the ball is snapped drives his own .guys to distraction, but they've learned to dance in his version of a ·high-speed ballet. . On this Sunday, he engineered five touchdowns on Indianapolis' first five possessions and linished with his most productive game of the season - 24-of-40 for 365 yards with three touchdowns and one interception, even better than the Monday night payback against New England, when Manning had plenty to prove. . After this win, just like the win agaiQst the Patriots, it fell to coach Tony Dungy to short-circuit the buzz about a perfect season and the Super Bowl title the Colts might already have claimed if not for the Patriots. He's now 4414 in 3 1/2 seasons in Indy, but with precious little to show for it. . "The thing l Iike about our team is we come to play missing last week and told. Fostoria police she last saw her husband last Tuesday. That would have been shortly after online auction site eBay Inc. suspended his account and notified law enforcement about the complaints from ticket buyers. Before disappearing, West told a Toledo television station that the tickets were already mailed, and those who didn't receive them would be reimbursed. There is no home listing for him in . Fostoria, a town about 35 miles south of Toledo. Some customers who used eBay's payment service that links to their bank accounts can get up to $1 ,000 reimbursed if they have buyer protection coverage, eBay spokesman Hani Durzy said. Others can pur~ue reimbursement from their credit card compames. every week, and we seem to adjust pretty well to what is put in front of us. Today had to be an offensive day," he said. " We won a couple games early in the year, I 0-3 and 13-6, so l think that's the si~n of a good team: You can Will whatever is presented to you." Five of the eight teams that reached double-digits wi.thout a loss since the NFL-AFL merger went on to win a Super Bowl, but Dungy is careful never to get ahead of himself. He learned that lesson after coming up short seveml times in Tampa Bay, and that was even before New England and coach Bill Belichick began their championship run at his expense. Besides, ·should Dung>' need reminding, team president Bill Polian is always close by. Polian was the architect of the Buffalo Bills teams that came home emptyhanded from four consecutive Super Bowls. And despite drafting shrewtlly and spending wisely to hang onto the NFL's best triple threat James, Manning and wide receiver Marvin Harrison, ' who have become the most prolific scoring quarterbackreceiver duo in league history - Polian knows how much luck is involved, how the window of opportunity can be slammed shut at just about any moment. The 1972 Dolphins refused to let that happen to them. They're often thought of as one-season wonders, but . the fact is they went . to three straight Super Bowls, won two of them, and might be remembered for their larger achievement if the· occasional toasts didn 't make them seem ·so churlish. So maybe it's not too late for those Dolphins to jump on these Colts' bandwagon. Seeing how hard it is to put to~ether a perfect season now m1ght remmd us that the guys who did it back then were capable of a lot more than rounding up a few champagne flute s . and toasting somebody else's bad luck. Florida is young and in the Top 25. The Gators, who lost three starters and 60 percent of their offense from last season, moved into The Associated Press' men's college basketball poll Monday. They had wins over ranked teams in the semifinals and championship game of the 2K Sports College Hoops Classic. The jump from unranked to 14th for the team that · starts four sophomores is the most ·impressive entrance since Georgia Tech moved in at No. 13 in the third poll of the regular season in 2003-04. The record for a jump-in is Kansas' move · from unranked to No.4 in the first regular-season poll of 198990. The Jayhawks beat No. I .

Connecticut ( 1-0) remained third, but then came the changes. Michigan State, which lost its opener at Hawaii 84-62, dropped from fourth to No. 12. Villanova, which had the only other first-place vote, Oklahoma, Louisville, Kentucky, Gonzaga, Arizona and Boston College all moved up one pi ace to round out the Top Ten. Memphis was No. II followed by Michigan State, West Virginia, Florida. Illinois, UCLA, Syracuse, Iowa, Alabama and Indiana. The last five ranked teams were George Washington, Nevada, Maryland·, Wake Forest and Washington. Stanford (0-1 ), which lost its season opener to CalIrvine 79-63, dropped out of the ranking s from No. 13. Iowa State (1-0), which beat Mountain State 101-82, fell out from 25th. "This game is fair, " Stanford coach Trent Johnson said Monday. "Regardless of what everybody says 'from a preseason standpoi'nt and the rankings and all that, if you show a lack of respect for competition and get caught up in what other people think about you as a basketball team or a basketball player, you're going to get beat."

Another Thanksgiving tradition the preschoolers at New Horizons have an opinion on is how to cook the traditional turkey. According to New Horizon teachers Patty Taylor and Susan Eason, their students had some definite ideas on how the turkey makes it onto the dinner table. · Taylor and Eason complied some of these special recipes which .included the following quot~s: "Mom gets the turkey at the mall," or "Mom has to catch the turkey. She wears gloves while she catches it." The recipes also indudcd cooking time s such as "Mom bakes it on low for 16 minutes .

Sponsored by the Hospice Association of America and the National Hospice Organization, the month-long celebration no,t only pays tribute to hospice providers who are dedicated to providing physical, spiritual and emotional support to terminally ill patients. It also serves as a means of increasing public awareness about choices in end-of-life care that are available in the community. All too often people facing terminal illness don't know where to turn for comfort and support. The goal is to diminish the fears that make people reluctant to talk about death and to let them know about the supportive, compassionate and pain-relieving services that hospice provides. Pleasant Valley Hospice provides end-of-life care to assist people who are facing a terminal illness to live their final day s at home alert and pain~free among the people and things they love.

All three of us had been victims of molestation. We had also been exposed to illicit drugs. If that wasn't enough, I later learned that our grandfather was also our father. I spent half my childhood in three different foster l,lomes until, finally, at the age of 8, I was adopted by a caring family. Eleven years went by, and I never heard from any of them. Then one day, my father received a call from one of my sisters. The two of them had been looking for me. He told them where I could be found. At first, I was overjoyed 1o hear fro m them. Of course. I made contact with my birth ·mother after that. We have now been communicating for 10 years, and it has been nothing out pure hell. Every time we speak. I'm reminded of the horrible events that occurred when we were younger. So much so, that i~ has atlected my sex life with my husband. I don 't want to subject my family to this anymore.

REID ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER BAGHDAD, Iraq - A suicide car bomber killed 21 people in nonhero Iraq on Tuesday after insurgents lured police to the scene by shooting an officer, officials said. One more U.S. soldier was killed, pushing the American death toll for the conflict to 2, 100, the U.S. military said. Elsewhere, insurgeqts fired a monar shell at a U.S. ceremony transferring one of Saddam Hussein 's palaces in Tikrit to Iraqi control. The shell failed to explode but sent the U.S. ambassador, the top American commander and robed tribal ~heiks scurrying for cover as the round whistled.overhead. The suicide bomber struck on a busy commercial street in Kirkuk, a mixed. Arab, Kurdish and Turkoman city in an oil-producing region 180 miles nonh. of Baghdad. About half the dead were police who rushed to the scene after gunmen killed a fellow offtcer. In addition to the 21 dead, another 24 people were wounded, according to police Brig. Gen. Sarhad Qader. The attack was the latest in . a wave of spectacular suicide operations that have killed more than 160 Iraqis since Friday. Most of the victims were Shiites. · American military casualty tolls have also been on the rise. In the latest repons, the U.S. command said a soldier was killed Monday by a road- NATION • WORLD said. Those deaths were already included the in the overalf figures. ' U.S. officials sought to downplay the monar attack in Tikrit, 80 miles north of Baghdad, noting that the lone shell failed to explode or to interfere with. the handover. "This was an ineffectual auempt to stop the progress that goes on every day in Iraq ." said Lt. Col. Barry Johnson, a spokesman for the U.S. command in Baghdad. However, Arabic satellite television stations aired footage showing an American colonel ducking for cover as the shell whistled overhead. Fearing more were on the way. U.S. security hustled U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad and the U.S. commandei· in Iraq, Gen. George Casey, into the palace while American infantrymen and an Apache attack helicopter searched for the source of fire. The ceremony resumed a few minutes later.

Presidential advi ser Lt. Gen. Wafiq ai-Samaraei told Qatar's Al-Jazeera television that he had received a call from someone "who claimed to be a senior official of the resistance.'' · ~ "1 inform ed him that I would welcome him in a meeting to hear from him. but this doesn't indicate our acceptance of the r demands," he said. Al-Samaraei, a former head of military intelligence under Saddam, did not identify the caller. and it was unclear whether the overture represented a breakthrough. U.S. , Also Tuesday, Marines announced the end of a major operation to secure towns along the Syrian border used by al-Qaida to smuggle foreign fighters iitto Iraq . Ten U.S. Marines and 139 insurgents were killed in "Openition Steel Curtain." which began Nov. 5 with about 2,500 U.S. troops and 1,000 Iraqi soldiers, a military statement said. U.S. commanders plan to establish a long-term presence in the area to prevent alQaida and its Iraqi allies from re-establishing themselves in the towns of Husaybah, Karabiiah and Obeidi along the Euphrates River. They also want Sunni Arabs there to vote in the Dec. 15 national elections without fear of intimidation. In Baghdad, Iraq's anti-corruption commission said that members of the former government who are under investigation will not be allowed to run in the elections. A commission official, who asked not to be identitied because he is not authorized to speak to, the press, said Minister of Public · Works Nasreen Berwari, who is the wile of Vice President Ghazi al-Yawer, and Hatem Shaalan, a former defense minister, are among those banned.

Coyotes like to stop by for a snack, and even thunderstorms can pose a threat. But Bowman & Landes has been steadily carving out a market for free-range turkeys, resisting the trend toward indoor-raised birds 't o s·tick . with the old-fashioned way. "They're just a healthier, happier turkey when they're running around," said coowner Carl Bowrrian. "We think it's a more tender, juicy taste." Bowman & Landes has one of the largest free-range turkey operations in the state. About 60,000 turkeys are raised on a 140-acre· farm near this western Ohio town and another 13,000 at a farm in north central Ohio. The white-feathered birds prowl the grassy lields, pecking at cracked corn and tilling the air with clucks, chirps and gobbles. "A stressed-out animal is releasing all those bad hormones just like they do in people," Bowman said. "So our object is to keep the turkey as . stress-free as possible." Most turkeys in the United , States were raised outdoors in the 1940s and '50s, when turkeys were C!Jnsumed pri- marily at Thanksgiving. The young turkeys could be raised in the warm-weather months and be ready .for slaughter by November, before cold weather moved in. But as ·turkey began to be consumed year-round, many farmers chose to raise the birds year-round and shield them from winter weather in barns and other enclosures. Mike Lilburn, a nutritionist at the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center in Wooster, said more than 90 percent of U.S. turkeys are currently raised indoors. Indoor-raised turkeys are generally larger, have more breast meat and sell for about smells or thoughts. Generally, vomiting is preceded by a "sick to the stomach feeling"· that we call nausea. Of the possible causes, pefhaps the most common is viral infection of the gastrointestinal tract. This is probably what your child experienced. This type of vomiting is often associated with diarrhea. Since your child was ill for only a few hours, it was probably okay to not go to the doctor 's office. You also did the right thing by not allowing food too soon after the vomiting had stopped. There are times when a child is vomiting, however, that you should get medical help. If the vomiting is forceful and frequent, you should cpntact your physician for advice and possible medication to slow down it down. Excessive vomiting can lead to dehydration, especially in very young children, or children who have an underlying medical condition. There are certain times when vomiting should prompt an immediate caJl to your physician or a trip to the hospital emergency depart ment. Here are three such cases: ( 1) if the vomiting is preceded by or associated with abdominal pain - a possible sign of an appendicitis or another acute abdominal problem; (2) if the person vomiting also has a high fever or change in mental status; and (3) if it's vomiting that's associated with a concussion, or head injury. So as you can see, figuring out the cause of the vomiting is the place to start. If it is determined that this is probably a viral_ infection, then your . )JhysJcJa~ may want to pre~cnbe medJcahon to stop · !he nausea .. It's .also a good tdea to hm~t fiUJd mtake to only small stps of clear ltqUJd u_ntil the vomiting has subsJded. Then gradually remtroduce solid foods and full liquids over a day or two. This can be difficult because many children bounce back very quickly and are ready to eat everything in 12 to 24 hours. Though I think you qid .,.,2005"' .

He seemed to have a slight fever to the touch but was fine later in the day. Should J have taken him to the doctor? Answer: Vomiting is a complex, coordinated reflex orchestrated by ·a specific part of the brain. It is involuntary and in most cases selflimiting. The triggering mechanism can be one of several causes. Vomiting can be a response to nerve signals coming from the mouth, stomach or intestines. Also, it can be triggered from the bloodstream in response to medicines or infections. Other times, the signal can come from the balancing system in the ear, as is the case . with motion sickness.

Lawmakers wrapped up a special legislative session Tuesday after rebalancing Louisiana's deficit -riddled budget and creating tux breaks to entice businesses back to . hurricane-damaged areas . . Nearly all of Gov. Kathleen Blanco's initiatives were approved during the 17-~ay session. Some lawmui&rs said they were disappointed the governor didn't offer more to help the thousands of people displaced by hurricanes Katrina .md Rita. · "I wish we could have done a lot more to help people who are ·around the country dispersed and who are homeless and without family and without hope," said Democratic Rep. Cedri~ Richmond, chairman of the Louisiana Legislative Black Caucus. The . biggest-ticket . item approved in the session's waning hours was a restruc- turing of Louisiana's more than $18 billion budget to account for a $959 million drop in state tax income · after the hurricanes shut down businesses and boosted unemployment rolls by the thousands . The plan cuts more than S600 million in spending, slicing mainly health care services and money for public colleges. It also taps the state's "rainy day" fund and uses some surplu s money from last year to cope with the budget shortfalL Borrowing proposals, including plans initially sugges ted by Blanco, were scrapped. Budget cuts made by the Democratic governor . before the session were retained., iilcluding the elimination of many lawmakers' local projects .. "We spread out the pain as much as we could," said Democratic Rep. John Alario, chairman of the House Appropriations Committee. "It tells the rest of the country that we have taken care of our business to the extent that we can.·' The session was marked by two weeks of bickering over where to cut the budget and, at times, who had the authority to. At urte point, the Legislative Bla~k Caucus, a group normally counted by Blanco as an ally, sued to stop cuts she had tried to implement by executive order. The lawsuit was rendered moot when legislators approved Blanco's cuts. The governor successfully pushed for a state takeover of New Orleans schools that fail to meet academic standards, wresting power from .the city's fractious school board. They could eventually be reopened by the state as charter schools. Another Blanco-backe(,l proposal, a "tax holiday" temporarily suspending the state's 4 percent sales tax on retail items for individuals, was also approved. Lawmakers approved a statewide residential build~ ing code, including construction regulations for wind speeds and flooding heights, even though opponents argued it could raise the costs on new homes. Jim Brandt, head of the nonpartisan Public Affairs Research ·Council, said 'the overall message sent by the session was positive. " We handled the budget problem as best we could at this point," Brandt said. He called it ''at least a very good faith effon on our pan to get our own house in order."

The next time you walk in and see Fisch' s stall , guys are goi ng to ha ve some pretty uncomfortabl e memories. " It 's somethmg that we have to do. We just have to step up and pl ay hockey." Red Wings ge neral man ager Ken Holland and team physictan Tony Colucci, who perfo rmed CPR on Fischer after he collapsed Monday ni ght , said the player was "in good spirits." Colucci visited Ftscher at the hospi tal Tuesday "He's actually crackin g some jokes," Colucci sa1d during a news conference at Joe Loui s Arena. "Everything appears to be well nght now." The 25-yea r-old Fischer was in good condition after he began having convul sions on the bench late tn the fir st period ugamst the Predators. Nas hville Colucct wasn't able to detect a pul se after F1scher collapsed, and an aut o deftbnll ator was used on the player After performing CPR , Colucci said he detected a good pul se and Fischer was taken out of the arena by ambulance to Detroit Recei;ing Ho spital. Colucct said Fi sc her 's heart Cowhe r sa id. " It can get demoralizing for a defen se.

Fischer's blood pre ssure and heart rate were stable by the time he arrived at the hospital "There's no way to speculate on what tri ggered tt," Colucci said . The team announced to th e crowd Monday night that Fischer had a seizure, but Red Wings coac h Mike Babcock later smd Ftscher 's heart had stopped, On Tuesday, Colucci said the defibrillator tndtcated that Fischer 's heart may have bee n ex periencing ventncular tachycardia, which is a racing type of heartbeat , or ventricular fibrill ation, a heart fluttering. Both can cause death , and ventricular fibnllat10n is ' a common ca use of sudden. cardtac arrest. When asked how long Ftscher 's heart had stopped, Colucci satd : "So metimes when you're fe eling for a pulse you can't really say did it stop, or does he have a ve ry weak, thready pul se." Colucci sai d he didn ' t know when Fischer could play aga1n or how long he will rematn in the hospital. He many thmgs could have caused l'i schet 's collap se, but he bel ie ve d the problem was "cardtac 1n origin." "We're goin g to evaluate him on a daily basis," he said.

Fischer 'was diagnosed with a heart abnormality in September. 2002, causmg h1m to miss two day s of practice. The problem was found on an electrocardiogram as part of a routine battery of tests during the Red Wing s' pre seaso n phy stcals . Colucci said Tuesday that tests were being conducted to determine whether the convulswns were related to the abnormality. When the 2002 result came back, Fi scher was given a stress test that he pas sed and he sa1d his heart essentially is a httle thicker than normal Team owner Mike Ilitch, teammates, and coaches vtsited the Czech Republic native in small groups Monday night in the ho spi· tal. Others from the club vtstted h1m on Tuesday. Play was stopped with 7:30 left in the first period Monday after the Red Wings alerted offictals to a probl em. Medical personnel worked on Fischer at the door to the bench for several minutes before he was wheeled back toward the Red Wmg s dre ss ing room . Holland said Red Wings management consulted with the players, the Predators and the NHL and made the deci sw n to postpone the game . Holland said it hasn ' t yet been decided when the game will be played.

Ryan visited with the Cleveland Indians, who could turn to the star closer if they decide not to re-sign Bob Wickman - the anchor of the majors' best bullpen in 2005. The Indians did their best Tuesday to make the former Orioles pitcher feel wanted. The club put a photograph of him wearing a Cleveland cap on the jumbo scoreboard at Jacobs Field, and the ballpark's other scoreboards said: "Welcome to Cleveland B.J. and Candi Ryan." The club confirmed that Ryan and his wife were in town to meet general manager Mark Shapiro, who had AP photo Aorida Marlins starting pitcher Josh Beckett pitches during spring training in Jupiter, Fla., in this l'y1arch 12, 2004 file photo.

Ryan, who will turn 30 on Dec. 28, made his first AllStar team and wa> the best thing about a Baltimore bullpen .that contt:ibuted to the club's 74-88 record and fourth-place finish in the AL East. Along with Wickman and Billy Wagner, Ryan is one of the premier closers in this year's free-agent class. He visited the Toronto Blue Jays last week, and New . York Yankees ben'ch coach Lee Mazzilli, who managed Ryan last season before being fired, said he would like to speak with the lefty. The Yankees, though, would use Ryan in a setup role ' for Mariano Rivera. . If he signs with Cleveland, Ryan would take over closing duties for Wickman, 'who had a career-high 45 savesthe second most in club history - last season. Wickman has filed for free agency, but it remains to be seen how much interest there will be for the 36-year-old pitcher. Although his efforts were not always eye-pleasing, Wickman was effective last season as Cleveland's bullpen posted a 2.80 ERA - the lowest by any AL team since the ~ 1992 Milwaukee Brewers.

The club is expected to offer arbitration to Millwood and Howry on Dec. 7. In doing SO, Cleveland ensures itself draft-pick compensation if the pitchers sign with other teams.
