Ohio's last ethanol plant, a joint venture in South ·Point in southern Ohio between the Ohio Farm Bureau and Ashland Petroleum, shut down in 1995 because of efficiency problems and itli distant location from corn-producing farms. The bill, sponsored by Sen. Larry .Mumper, a Marion Republican, creates a $5,000 tax credit for each investor in an ethanol production plant.

The apartment was Parks' home at the time she achieved national prominence for her civil rights activism, and it' was also her destination at the time she was arrested, the national register noted.

' Muslim woman charges discrimination · CHICAGO (AP) -A Muslim woman and the American Civil Liberties Union are suing the lllinois National Guard and· airport security officers following a strip search that they said amounted to discrimination. It is the ACLU's first lawsuit in what it claims have been about 100 cases of airport discrimination against Muslims since the Sept 11 terrorist attacks. Samar Kaukab of Columbus, Ohio, alleges she was strip. searched at O 'Hare International Airport before a Nov. 7 flight simply because she was wearing a Muslim head scarf. Kaukab, a 22-year-old U.S. citizen who was born in this country to Pakistani parents, claims the black scarf- which covers her hair, shoulders and chest, but not her face - led a guardsman to instruct Argenbright Security guards to take her aside for a thorough search even though she tripped no metal detectors. The lawsuit seeks a federal injunction forcing airport security firms to provide training so guards will not base searches solely on a person's religion or ethnicity.

For the full year, the world's second biggest automaker said Thursday it lost $5.45 billion, its first annual loss since. 1992. Ford's Joss for the October-December quarter amounted to $2.81 a share.

Those costs included $4 . I billion in restructuring costs, and an additional $102 million in accounting charges. . Excluding those items, Ford's loss was $860 million, or 48 cents a share, .for the October-December period. The consensus forecast of analysts polled by Thomson/First Call was that Ford would lose 50 cents a share excluding special cos ts.

Bearcats find another scorer to complement Steve Logan CINCINNATI (AP) - Steve Logan is passing as often as he's shooting- a very good sign for No ..7 Cincinnati. Leonard Stokes scored a career-high 36 points, many of them off 'passes from Logan, as the defenseminded Bearcats opened up the offense and beat DePaul 89-72 Wednesday night for their 16th win in a row. "I think people kind of underestimate us on offense," said Logan, who scored 21 points and had nine assists. "Tonight I think we showed the whole package." Cincinnati (16- 1, 4- 0 Conference USA) has the nation's longest streak because it has che country's top-ranked defense. The Bearcats came into the game holding opponents ·to 35.9 percent shooting from the field, best in the country. Opponents were averaging only 55.7 po.ints, the second-best mark. DePaul (7 -8, 0-4) did as well against that man-to- man defense as anyone, shooting 41.7 percent while scoring the most points off the Bearcats this season. It hardly made a difference. With Stokes and Logan shooting 9ver DePaul's zone defense, Cincinnati got ahead by 22 points in the first half and coasted. "We keyed on Logan a little more in the second half and Stokes got open and made some shots against ou~ zone," DePaul coach. Pat Kennedy said. "Their experience and their poise are very important for them." · DePaul often loses its poise against Cincinnati, wi)ich has won 21 of its last 22 against the Blue Demons.Any chance they had on Wednesday evaporated after Stokes got roiling in the second half, when. he scored 24 points. Stokes went five games without reaching double digits earlier this season, a slump attributed to his habit of worrying too . much about his misses. He's finally getting over it, scoring I 9, 19 and 36 points in his last three games. He was 14of"18 from the field on Wednesday. "Coach teUs me I (stink) when I think a lor," said Stokes, who had never scored ~ore than 23 in a game.

NEA Croraword Puzzle BV THE ASSOCIATED I'RESS l'he Florida Gators set two school records and matched another, and some of their players bettered and matched cueer highs in the most impressive performance of the seasoh. Brett Nelson equaled his career best with 26 points, and the second- r~nked Gators beat LSU 102-70 Wednesday night, their easiest Southeastern Conference win since coach Billy Donovan arrived in I 995. Florida (15-1, 4-0) also matched a school record with its 11 th straight league victory and extended another school record with its 14th straight win overall . Orien Greene had 14 points and 1 I assists, both career highs, while Udonis Haslem matched his career high with 16 rebounds to go with his 20 points. "I think they deserve to be the No. 1 team," LSU forward Ronald Dupree said. "I haven't played Duke, but I have · seen them on TV This Florida team is deep. They're just good . They played very welL" The Gators shot 110 percent from the field, including 12-of- 2b from 3- point range. "The one thing I told the guys was to shoot the ball with freedom and confidence," Donovan said. They did it well enough · to take a 32-12lead over the visiting Tigers (115, 1-2) after just 14 minutes. . LSU coach John Brady dido 't gee to see all of Florida's performance. He was ejected with 17 minutes to play after receiving two technical fouls when he complained about some calls. "I've got my own thoughts about that, but I'm not going to share it with you because it wouldn't do me any good," Brady said of the fouls. "If I shared my thoughts, I'd get two or three reprimands like I did last year. So, it's just, 'Take it Coach,' and move on." Dupree led the Tigers with 19 points and eight rebounds. No. 5 Oklahoma 78, Nebraska 51 Ebi :Ere scored 16 points to lead the Sooners (14- 1, 3-0 Big 12), who won their 13th consecutive game and held Nebraska without a field goal for a 12:49 span over the end of the first •• The Dally Sent.lnel • Pilge 8 5 l ;EMI N l.

LU)(UitY Details, A2 WASHINGTON (AP) - Construction of new homes and apartments fell slightly in · December but managed a solid 2.2 percent in crease for all of last year, an amazing achievement considering that housing is usually one of the industries that is hardest hit during a recession. Meanwhile, other reports Thursday showed that new claims for unemployment benefits feli'!ast week to the lowest level since last July, and a closely watched gauge of regional manufacturing ·activity put out by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia posted its first increase in more than a year. Analysts said the new data provided hope that the coun. try 's first recession in a decade appears to be close to an end. The Comm erce Department's housing report showed that construction of new homes-~ nd apartments fcll3.4 percent in December to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of , 1.57 million units. In November, construction starts had risen 7 percent, helped by mild weather. Even with the December ,decline, housing construction for all of 2001 rose by a solid 2.2 percent to 1.60 million units, th e third- best performance in the last 15 years despite the fact that the country endured a recession and the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. "A recession, a terrorist attack and massive layoffs apparently made people decide that there was no place like a new home,"- said Joel Naroff, head of Naroff Economic Advisors. Analysts said the good performance of housing and consumer spending in general pointed to the unusual nature of this downturn. Often, recessions are triggered by cutbacks in consumer spending caused by high interest rates engineered by the Federal R eserve to battle inflation. This downturn was brought on by sharp cutbacks in business investment, primarily in high-tech industries. "This looks more like a 1950s style recession with low inflation," said David Wyss, chief economist at Standard & • Poor's Co. in New York.
