Aging nicely, LeBron leaves teens for 20s~: ToM WITHERS Associated Press BY CLEVELAND - LeBron James used to bring his binh certificate along to youth allstar games to prove his age. "They questioned me because of the level of my game," the Cleveland Cavaliers forward recalled la~t week. ''I've always played the game above my age." Then maybe he should keep documentation of hi s Dec. 30, 1984, arrival hand y. There remain a few NBA skeptics, who are sti ll having hard time accepting that a 19year-old kid who skipped college could possibly be this big, this strong, thi s fast. thi s unselfish or this good. "I don't believe that," Boston C:eltics coach Doc Rivers jolced recently when told James was still weeks away from his 20th birthday. 'T m going to check. The way he's playing, he's got to be 30." On Thursday, LeBron hits the big 2-0 and. hard to believe, he has already joined the NBA's elite . " I cton't call him King James." said Minnesota forward Kevin Garnett. the reigning league MVP. "I call him The Gift. A gift for Cleveland, and for the league:· In just his second season in the pros, James has raised his game to an All-Star level. Through 27 games. he's averaging 24.6 points, 7.0 rebounds. 7.3 assists and leading the league in steals (71) while carrying the surprising and soon-to-be-sold Cavaliers ( 16-11) into first place in the Central Division. "He's doing everything for us." Cleveland coach Paul Si las said . "We certainly making any shot.

Lately, he has been flirting with an elusive first career triple-double. In a win over New Orleans on Sunday, James had 22 points, a careerhigh 14 assists and nine rebounds. He and Kobe Bryant are the only players averaging more than 24 points, seven rebounds and seven assists. "He might average a tripledouble someday," Silas said. wouldn't be where we are without him . To be this young and have the understanding of the game that he has is just unreal. I mar· James vel at him." So does the rest of the league. He has delivered jaw-dropping dunks, including a slam against Charlotte where the 6foot-8. 240-pounder caught a pass in full stride on the break, elevated to eye level with lhe rim and jackhammered the ball through. He's sharing both the spotlight and ball with his teammates, who sometimes aren't ready for one of the creative no-look passes that James seems to relish more than "In two or three years, when he learns the game better, he'll be unstoppable." James, who shares a birth· day with Tiger Woods, seems to improve each time he laces up his signature Nike Air Zoom LeBron ll 's. "A great basketball player can beat you different waysdefensively, offensively, rebounding the ball, passing and blocking shots," Garnett said last week after James posted 26 points, 12 assists and six rebounds in a win over the Tirnberwolves . "He totally illuminates all those qualities. He is a credit to the game." All of James' personal slats are significantly ahead of last year's pace when he finished as the just third rookie in league history to average at least 20 points. five rebounds and five assists. But Oscar Robertson and Michael Jordan were both in !heir early 20s when !hey di~ it. • Beyond the basketball, the~ is lhe business of LeBron.

She told me her mother had died and the visitation was the next night I made it through the snowdrifts to the visitation - the only nonfamily member because of the weather. Mike invited me to the house afterward. The next day, I met him in the church parking lot, where he told me guiltily he had whistled all the way to his . grandmother's funeral because he knew I'd be there! We knew we were meant to be together and we were convinced his grandmother had a hand in it.

(The more half-naked slave girls. muscular gladiators and lisping upper-class twits, the better the box office .) But there's ·such a thing as intellectual decadence, too. The role of sheer ignorance in determining the fate of civilizations cannot be overstated. Believe it or not, this insight struck me recently while watching a twominute "debate" on CNN about the merits of teaching Darwinian evolution vs. something called "intelligent design" in high school biology classes. The utter vacuousness of ' the anchor-creature refereeing this exhibition needn't be dwelt upon. Suffice it wasn' t her reasoning skills that got her the job. Rather, it was the farcical nature of the whole enterprise that struck me: the central organizing principle of biological science as the shuttlecock in a "Crossfire"-style colloquy between an earnest young lawyer and a smug preacher who appeared to have borrowed Sen. Trent Lott's lacquered hair-helmet and dyed it orange. Not long afterward, The Washington Post chronicled a dispute among parents and school board members in than 20 years ago.

Magee, a Presbyterian be conceivable absent the minister and member of the intellectual scaffolding proLittle Rock (Ark.) School vided by Charles Darwin 's Board during a federal court "Origin of Species" in 1859. But while Darwin's test of an Arkansas "creation-science" law more insights have been elaborat- ed upon , adjusted, amplified and corrected over the past century, the panicky response of his authoritarian-minded opponents has not. Properly understood, evolution no more mandates atheism than does the tax code, which also excludes supernatural explanations. Indeed, most "mainstream" religious denominations have long ago quit seeing science as an enemy, embracing its discoveries about the grandeur and complexity of the physical uni verse as an inducement to reverence and awe. Unfortunately. TV news network s seeking conflict and melodrama to boost ratings are ill suited to explore such ideas and emotions. Instead, they peddle simplistic "controversies" well suited to suburbanites who have lost their way amid the moral and intellectual confusions of contemporary life and cling to biblical literalism like a life raft. Sure, a proper curriculum should include lessons about how science both limits and lays claim to knowledge about the physical world. And yes, it's bad for democracy to have these arguments settled bv court mandate instead of reasoned debate. But it's also not hard to sec why scientists are reluctant to spend all their time rehashing 19th century misunderstandings on satellite TV (Arkanms DemocratGa:erte colunmisl Gene Lrm1s is anmionai11Wfii/:ine mrmr/ winner and co-all/lwr of "Tire Huming of lire Presidem " (S1.

The director of "Terms of Endearment ," which my daughter and I have watched a hundred times, has no business serving up "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" without a warning label stamping it as unsuitable for romantics. So I had to be dragged last to see "Hotel week Rwanda." For a time, I titfully resisted but was quickly drawn in. It is a story about love in a time of slaughter. Without preaching to its audience, it shows how a man can be transformed from ordinary to heroi c·. Paul Rusesabagina, played by Don Cheadle. is the solicitous manager of an elegant, luxury hotel in Kigali . It 's a going concern despite outbreaks of violence. He caters · to European businessmen and corrupt local officials, whom he courts with Cuban c1gar; antl si ngle -malt Scotch. His intellige nt eyes say he knows he 's just the help . But like many an under- ling, he is confused by his proximity to power. When his brother-in-Jaw, a Tutsi like Paul's wife, asks for protection, Paul shoos him away. He doesn't believe all hell is about to break loose. or that if it does it will penetrate his bubble of privilege. Gradually. he awakens to the violence raging beyond his gates. He reluctantly takes in a handful of orphans and then more, until he 's hiding more than I ,000 of his countrymen. But he has nothing more than his wit s and whiskey to protect them with. Paul believes if he can keep his refugees safe one day at a time, the world will awllken and send in the troops . That illusion is utterly dashed when the U.N. mission chief takes Paul aside to tell him there will be no rescue: "The West. all the superpowers, everything you believe in, Paul, they think you're dirt ... you're worthJess. You're African ." Where does heroi sm come from and how many of us have it'' The uplifting message of "Hotel Rwanda'' is that if Paul is capahle of such bravery, mayhe we are too. After 9/11, I remember reading of the $1 0-an -hour securi ty guard last seen alive raci ng bark from another building to guide hi s fellow workers to safety, and of the insurance agt;nt "j ust doing his job'' who denied that guard's widow benefits because her husband wasn't officially "on duty" when he died. Would I be the security guard or the agent? At the outset, Paul believed the system he served would protect his country. When it didn't, he took it upon himself to save as many people as he could, whatever the peril to himself. Will "Hotel Rwanda" open Americans' eyes to the almost identical genocide in nearby Sudan? After Rwanda, presidents Clinton and Bush said that neve( again would the West turn its back on such suffering. Yet the slaughter in Darfur by the janjaweed and Arab militias has killed tens of thousands and di splaced about 2 million more . In September, Secretary of State Colin Powell cal led the killings genocide, a word the U.S. pointedly didn ' t usc about Rwanda because to do so would have acknowledged a duty to in~rvene. War is God's way of teaching Americans geography. Few of us even know where Rwanda or Mogadishu or Sudap are unless , by chance. some American gets caught in the cro;>fire there.

BY FADLAN ARMAN SYAM ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER MEULABOH, Indonesia - In town after town, the scene was the same from the helicopter taking one of the first glimpses of Sumatra's ravaged coast: whole villages ripped apart. covered in mud and sea water. The only signs of life were a handful of desperate people scavenging a beach for food. When the helicopter bearing an Indonesian military commander and an Associated Press Television News crew - touched down. townspeople ran down from the high ground where they've taken refuge. For some, it was the first contact they had with the outside world for days. Some cried. others whooped for joy. One refugee described what many across southern Asia have said they saw in the last moments Sunday. the puzzling sight of coastal waters disappearing. sucked into the tsunami about to strike: "The water in "th~ sea pulled back. then 50 minutes after that the huge wave came back to us and destroyed everything," the man said, without giving his name. For some people on Sumatra· s western coast. the destruction came even quicker. S11nday's earthquake, centered about 150 miles offshore. shook the area, then - the gigantic waves it caused stn1ck within a half hour compared to 2 1/2 hours for ravaged Sri Lanka. across the Indian Ocean. Authorities counted thousands of bodies on the west coast Wedne sday. bringing Indonesia's death toll to more than 45.000. But that was only the start , with military teams only just beginning to collect the area's dead . Three-quarters of tlie , Indonesian island's western coast was destroyed and some towns were totally wiped out. said Maj . Gen. Endang Suwarya, the military commander Qf Sumatra's hard-hit Aceh province, as he led the helicopter tour of the region. "The damage is truly devastating," he said. "These people are isolated and we will try and get them help." From the helicopter. shattered villages were seen covered in muck or nearly completely covered by the sea. Most of the simple wooden homes that typify the coastline appeared to be flattened, and those that still .stood had their tin roofs torn off. A solitary mosque and green treetops were all that broke the water in one town. The crew touched down in the fishing town of Meulaboh, where Sunday's disaster took a heavy toll. Officials had recovered 3,400 bodies, but they expected to Bengals put Perry on IR . AP photo An aenal view shows tsunam i-damaged Meulaboh.town. West Aceh, Indonesia, Tuesday. Officials have recovered 3,400 bodies In the village so far. but they said they expect to find at least 10,ooq di~d here from Sunday's 9.0 magnitude underwater earthquake and massive tidal waves. find at least I 0,000, which would amount to a quarter of Meulaboh 's population. At Calang, a nearby village that was inundated Sunday, people picked through debris amid overturned cars. "We prayed and prayed that someone would reach us," said Sukardi Kasdi. a Calang resident. But no one came and days later he made his own way out, setting out on a perilous sixhour trip in a small boat on a sea filled with bloated corpses Ooating on huge waves. Now in the provincial capi- Tsunami from Page A1 "We' re facing a disaster of unprecedented proportion in nature," said Simon Missiri, a top Red Cross official. "We're talking about a staggering death toll." On hundreds of Web sites, the messages were brief but poignant: "Missing: Christina Blomee in Khao Lak," or simply. "Where are you?" All conveyed the aching desperation of people the world over whose friends and family went off in search of holiday-season sun and sand and haven't been heard from for four days. But even as hope for the missing dwindled, survivors continued to turn . up Wednesday. In Sri Lanka, where more than 22,000 died, a lone fisherman named Sini Mohammed Sarfudeen was rescued by an air force helicopter crew after clinging to his wavetossed boat for three days. Indian air force pl1lnes evacuated thousands of survivors from the remote island of Car Nicobar. Some of them had walked for days from their destroyed villages to reach a devastated but functioning airfield, where they were shuttled out 80 to 90 at a time.

More than 63,000 people are reported dead around southern Asia and as far away as Somalia on Africa's eastern coast. most killed by massive tidal waves that smashed coastlines after a magnitude 9.0 earthquake off Indonesia's coast on Sunday, followed by aftershocks in the region. The government of India said 6,974 deaths have been confirmed, but the toll was expected to climb. but authorities said this did not include a full count from Sumatra's west coast, where more than I0,000 deaths were suspected in one town alone. In Sumatra, the Floridasized Indonesian island close to the epicenter of the quake. verify reports that some 8,000 people were dead there, but at the base alone, 67 officers and their families were missing and feared dead. India's death toll rose to nearly 7 .000, while Indonesia's stood at 45,268, the view from the air was of whole villages ripped apart. covered in mud and seawater. In one of the few signs of life. a handful of desperate people scavenged a beach for food. On the streets of Banda Ace h. the main town of Sumatra's tal , Banda Aceh, he said survivors in Calang had passed their days praying and tending the injured with traditional medicine. wrapping wounds with bits of soiled cloth. In Banda Aceh. bulldozers in a field shoved more than I ,000 unidentified bodies into mass graves. The corpses had been picked off the city's streets. . "We have to do thi$ because of the smell and the health concern. We're a facing a major health hazard if we leave them lying around," acting Aceh Gov. Azwar Abu Bakar said. Aceh province, the military managed to drop supplies from vehicles and (ights "broke out over packs of instant noodles. Maj. Gen. Endang Suwarya, military commander of Aceh province, said after flying over the stricken region that 75 percent of the west coast of Sumatra was destroyed. Footage shot by an Associated Press Television News cameraman on the military helicopter showed town after town covered in .mud and sea water. Homes had their roofs ripped off or were flattened. A solitary mosque and green treetops were all that broke the line of water in one town. With tens of thousands of people sti ll missing across the entire region, Peter Ress, Red Cross operations support chief. said the death toll could top I00,000. More than 500,000 were reported injured. "We have little :hope, except for individual miracles." Jean-Marc Espalioux. chairman of the Accor hotel group, said of the search for thousands of tourists and locals missing from beach resorts of southern Thailand - including 2,000 Scandinavians. The State Department said 12 Americans died in the disaster - seven in Sri Lanka and five in Thailand. About 2.000 to 3.000 Americans were unaccounted for. Bush, at his ranch in Crawford, Texas, talked by phone Wednesday with leaders of Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Thailand and India. "We're still in the stage of immediate help. But slowly but surely, the si7.e of the problem will become known, partkular~ ly when it comes to rebuilding infra~tructure and communi!)' to help these affected parts of the world get back up on their feet," Bush said afterward. .

Cavaliers fans held their breath. In a split second, James crashed to the court and a season filled with playoff promise and possibilities had seemingly become another Cleveland sports calamity. "He's tough. so I knew he was hurt bad when he didn't get up," said Cavs guard Jeff Mcinnis. " I just pray he 's OK." James suffered a bruised bone in his left eye on Wednesday night when he was accidentally elbowed in the face by Houston center Dikembe Mutombo in the first half of the Rockets' 9887 win over the Cavaliers. James was moving across the lane on defense whe n he ran into the 7-foot-2 Mutombo, whose sharp elbows have dropped more than a few NBA players over the years. . "I warned LeBron before the game to watch out," said Cavaliers guard Eric Snow, . who played with Mutombo in Philadelphia. "I've seen him take out teammates and opponents. You have to be aware around him." · James was taken to the Cleveland Clinic for X-rays and a. CAT scan. He was not available for comment after returning from the hospital. The team said it wi II have test results and an update on his condition Thursday. As he walked into the Cavs' locker room with a hooded sweat shirt pulled over his head. James looked like a beaten boxer. He didn't seem too eager to get to his 20th birthday party, which was being thrown at a downtown club. Mutombo felt bad about what happened. "I neve r saw him," Mutombo said. "The next thing I know, boom, he was laying on the tloor. I hope it's not too bad." Tracy McGrady scored 34 points. Yao Ming added 20 and J uwan Howard 17 for the Rockets, who didn 't have to contend wi th James after halftime and snapped a five -game losing streak on the road. After he (vas nailed by Mutombo, James immediately dropped to the floor, cov- erect his eyes and kicked . his feet in obvious pain while lying face down as play continued. When Houston scored, the officials stopped the action and Cleveland's ruedical staff rushed out to help James, who had to be assisted off the court as he held a towel against his head . The sellout crowd in Gund Arena fell silent as James walked off. "That was too bad about LeBron." said Rockets guard Bob Sura. a former Cavalie'ts player. "Man, he brings energy into this building. It was never like that when I played here." James was coming off a 40point performance in a win at Atlanta on Tuesday. He's averaging 25.2 points but had a career-low three points all on free throws - with three rebounds and five assists before getting hurt .· McGrady scored 22 points in the second half and 12 in the fourth quarter. including the Rockets' last seven over the final 2:03. Trailing 80-69 earl ~ in the fourt h, the Cavaliers began chipping away. After a pair of 3-pointers, Drew Gooden's ju mper brought Cleveland within 86-83 with 5:41 left. Gooden scored again to make it 91-87 with 2:20 left. when McGrady put an end to the Cavs' comeback. McGrady hit a jumper. made two , free throws and nailed a long 3-pointer .with 32 seconds left to close the scoring. The Cavaliers. sorely missing James, missed three shots and made two turnovers in the fina l two minutes. Notes: James has tiine to rest up. Cleveland doesn't play again until Monday at Charlotte .... Before the game, Cavs coach Paul Silas Wijs asked what he bought 'James for his birthday.' "Nothing yet," Silas said. "We' ll see. If he has another 40-point game he's going to get somethin g real good." ... Newly acquired Rockets G P,avid Wesley was back at Gllnd' f\re na for the second time in ; four nights. Wesley was traded to Houston on Monday by New Cl{leans, which lost to the Cavs on Sunday. Jim Jackson, who was part of the deal, hasn' t reported to the Hornets and has been suspended by the club....
