Calif. - A .twin-engine plane carrymg three employees of electric car maker Tesla Motors struck a set of power lines after takeoff Wednesday and crashed mto a tog-shrouded residential neighborhood, raining fiery debris over homes, sending residents runnmg for safety and killing everyone aboard. But the crash somehow caused no injuries or deaths on the ground despite a wing slamming into a home \Vhere a day care center operated. The seven people inside the house, including an infant. all escaped moments before the home went up in !lames. Menlo Park Fire Chief Harold Schapelhouman said the Cessna 3 l 0 either struck a I00-foot electrical tower or clipped its power transmission lines and broke apart, dropping debris throughout the working-class Silicon Valley neighborhood. Federal aviation investigators said they were looking whether foggy weather played a role in the crash. National Transportation Safety Board investigators will be at the crash site for several days and a preliminary report will be available by next week, said Josh Kawthra, an NTSB investigator. The citv of Palo Alto said most of 'the city and surrounding area about 28.000 customers - had no electricity for most of the day because of the crash. Pacific Gas and Electric Co. officials said most homes and businesses would have their electricity restored by Wednesday evening. A spokeswoman for Palo Alto-based Facebook Inc. said its offices were without power but the outage was not affecting the Web site. Hewlett-Packard Co.'s corporate headquarters also were dark, and employees were asked to find other places to work Wednesday, a spokeswoman said. The crash rattled Tesla Motors. one of only a few companies producing and selling purely electric cars. The identities of the employees were not released. The plane was owned by Doug Bourn of Santa Clara. identified by a Tesla spokesman as a senior electrical engineer at the company. "Tesla is a small, tightly knit company, and this is a tragic day for us," Tesla CEO Elon Musk said in a statement. The Cessna crashed around 7:55 a.m'. shortly after takeoff from the Palo Alto Airport and was bound for Hawthorne Municipal Airport in Southern California, according to the Federal A\'iation Administration. The crash site is a mile northwest of the airport, near Tesla 's headquarters in San Carlos. A wing fell onto the house where a children's day care operated, and the rest of the plane struck the front retaining wall of another house down the street before landing on two vehicles on the street. Schapelhouman said. Debris also struck two neighboring houses, he said. Pamela Houston. an employee of the day care. said she was feeding an infant when she heard a loud boom that she initially thought was an earthquake until she "saw a big ball of fire hit the side of the house." Houston said she screamed to the others in the bouse - the owner, the owner's husband and their three children - and the group safely escaped before the home went up in flames. "There are not even words to describe what it felt like," she said. "I am very thankful to God that he allowed us to get out." The occupants of the homes have been accounted for, although authorities can't be completely sure of the fatality count until crews begin clearing the wreckage, Schapelhouman said. "Either by luck or the skill of the pilot. the plane hit the street and not the homes on either side," he added. "'That ~aved people in this community." Kate McClellan, 57, said she was walking her dog when she saw a plane descend from the foggy sky and strike the tower. causing power lines to swing wildly in the air. "It burst into flames, and then it kept flying for bit before it hit some houses and exploded," McClellan said. The crash comes at a difficult time for Tesla, which employs 515 people worldwide and just three weeks ago disclosed plans to hold an initial public offering of stock. In its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. the company said its future business is dependent on the successful rollout of new vehicles. The two-door Roadster sports car is the only product that the money-losing company currently sells. retailing for $109,000. It has sold about 1 ,000 since its inception, and its next vehicle - the Model S sedan - is due in showrooms in 2012. It has a base price of $57,400. although a federal tax credit could reduce the cost to less than $50,000. Tesla has not said when specifically it plans to go public, nor has it said how much it intends to raise. Wildlife officials search for carp in Chicago area BY KAREN HAWKINS AND JOHN FLESHER ASSOCIATED PRESS CICERO, Ill. - Armed with sprawling fishing nets and boats equipped with electric prods, state and federal fisherie~ biologists began a "search-anddestroy'' misSIOn 111 Chicago-area waterways Wednesday aimed at rooting out the dreaded A~ian carp. The operation got under way as a public discussion in Michigan of the federal plan to stop the invasive fish from overrunning the Great Lakes produced sharp disagreement over whether to close Chicago shipping locks. which link the lakes with the Mississippi River system. Twenty commercial fishermen and biologists from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service braved frigid temperatures to search for si Iver or bighead Asian carp that may have breached electric fish barriers on the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal. While the search yielded plenty of fish, including a substantial-looking regular carp, no Asian carp were found. The search will continue for two to three weeks, part of a battle to prevent the invasive fish from • reaching the lakes and threatening their fishing and boating industries. "It's dangerous, and we appreciate all of their efforts and their professionalism in order to combat Asian carp and to do the search-anddestroy effort we're doing today." said Marc Miller, Illinois' natural resources director. Crews were focusing on areas where warm water from industrial operations, including power plants and wastewater treatment plants. enters the waterways. Fish tend to congregate near the warmer water in the winter. During one search operation at a suburban Chicago canal, steam rose as crews set out a large mesh net, then circled its perimeter, sending electric charges into the water to herd fish toward the net. Officials have environmental DNA evidence from several locations suggesting the destructiYe species has gone past the electric barriers, but no Asian carp have been found beyond them. "We presume they would be present anywhere within this waterway system," said John Regner. assistant director of the Illinois natural resources department. In December. wildlife officials discovered a single Asian carp in the ship canal leading to Lake Michigan. Environmentalists fear if the carp reach the lakes they could starve out native fish species and devastate a $7 billion-a-year fishing industry. Carp can grow to 4 feet in length and I00 pounds. Michigan has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to order Chicago-area shipping locks closed to keep carp out. a request supported by Minnesota, Wisconsin, Ohio. Pennsylvania and New York. Illinois opposes the closure. An Obama administration proposal on controlling carp also rejects closing the locks but will consider opening them less often. Although the federal plan includes more than two do~:en proposals for halting the carp's advance, lock closure has become the flashpoint. During Wednesday's meeting in Ypsilanti. Mich .. dozens of barge and tour boat operators from Chicago said any change in lock operations could put them out of business. ''I rely on the river and the locks:· said Jennifer Pe1Ty, a Chicago water taxi captain. "Keep the locks open so we can keep our lives moving." Tom Marks, a New York cha11er boat captain. countered that other livelihoods were at risk - including his • own - if the carp spread across the lakes. "The Great Lakes are priceless." Marks said. "We lose the Great Lakes to the Asian carp. you're not going to get them back." While Chicago speakers accused federal officials of moving too hastily, others said things were moving too slowly. Sen. Debbie Stabenow. a Michigan Democrat. said the Environmental Protection Agency. Army Corps of Engineers and other agencies should close the locks immediately while a longterm solution is devised. "We cannot find ourselves in a situation where we look up and say. 'Oh, if only we had acted sooner."' Stabenow said. Earlier. in Traverse City, Mich., an overflow crowd questioned state officials at a meeting called by state Attorney General Mike Cox, who crafted Michigan's lawsuit demanding lock closure and physical separation of the Great Lakes and Mississippi basins. "I haven't sold my boat and equipment yet but if these carp get in. I'm looking for a buyer." said Eric Anderson. a charter boat captain from Manistee. "This will affect everybody. It's a trickle-down disaster waiting to happen.'' WILMINGTON. N.C. An environmental contractor dramatically underreported the level of a cancer-causing chemical found in tap water at Camp Lejeune. then omitted it altogether as the Marine bac;e prepared for a federal health review, an Associated Press review has found. The Marine Corps had been warned nearly a decade earlier about the dangerously high level~ of benzene, which was traced to massive leaks from fuel tanks at the base on the North Carolina coast. according to recently disclosed studies. For years. Marines who served at Camp Lejeune have blamed their families' cancers and other ailments on tap water tainted by dJ)' cleaning solvents, and many accuse the military of covering it up. The benzene was discovered as part of a broader. ongoing probe into that contamination. When water was ~ampled in July 1984. scientists found benzene in a well near the base's Hadnot Point Fuel Farm at levels of 380 parts per billion. according to a water tests done by a contractor. A year later, in a report summarizing the 1984 sampling, the same contractor pointed out the benzene concentration "far exceeds" the safety limit set by federal regulators at 5 parts per billion. The Marines were still studying the water contamination in 1991 when another contractor again warned the Navy of the health hazards posed by such levels of benzene. By 1992, the federal Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease, an arm of the Department of Health and Human Services. showed up at the base to begin a health risk assessment. That's when a third contractor. the Michael Baker Corp .. released a draft report on the feasibility of fixing the overall problem. In it, the 1984 level on the well of 380 parts per billion had changed to 38 parts per billion. The company's final report on the welL issued in 1994, made no mention of the benzene. Not only hasn't the benzene disappeared from the now-closed wells. it's gotten much worse over time. One sample from a series of tests conducted from June 2007 to August 2009 registered 3,490 parts per billion. according to a report from a fourth contractor. Kyla Bennett, who spent 10 years as an enforcement officer for the Environmental Protection Agency before becoming an ecologist and environmental attorney, reviewed the different reports and said it was difficult to conclude innocent mistakes were made in the Baker Corp. documents. "It is weird that it went from 380 to 38 and then it disappeared entirely." she said. "It does support the contention that thev did do it deliberately." News of Baker Corp.'s handling of the benzene leveb has ex-Lejeune residents questioning anew the honesty of a militat)' they accuse of endangering their lives. "It is a shame that an insti· tution founded on honor and integrity would resort to open deceit in order to protect their reputation at the cost of the health, safety and welfare of its service men, women and their families." said Mike Partain. a 42-yearold who lives in Tallahassee. Fla., but was born at Lejeune and diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007. Capt. Brian Block, a Marine Corps spokesman. took exception to characterizing the contlicting information in the reports as anything but inadvertent. "It was probably just a mistake on the pm1 of the contractor. but I can't tell you for certain why that happened," he said. David Higie. a spokesman for Baker Corp., declined to discu:-.s the company's reports or why its employ- ees mi!!ht have revised the benzene levels. He referred questions to the military. Block said Camp Lejeune held a news conference to alert residents of prob. with the water syste 1985 and has spent miliJ s of dollars in outreach and studies. "The Marine Corps has never tried to hide any of this information," he said. The discrepancies in the reports were tucked inside thousands of documents the Marine~ released last year to the Agency for Toxic Substances as pa11 of the Marines· long-running review of water supplied to Camp Lejeune's main family housing areas. That water was contaminated by fuel and cleaning solvents from the 1950s through the l 980s. and health officials believe as many as I million people may have been exposed to the toxins before the wells that supplied the tainted water were closed two decades ago. The newly discovered records, first reported Sunday by McCiatct News Service. show tha water well contaminated leaking fuel was left functioning for at least five months after a sampling discovered it was tainted with benzene in 1984. Benzene, a carcinogen, is a natural pru1 of crude oil and gasoline. Drinking water containing high levels of it can cause vomiting, dizziness, sleepiness. convulsions. and death and long-term exposure damages bone marrow. lower:- red blood cells and can cause anemia and leukemia. according to the EPA. Camp Lejeune environmental engineer Robert Alexander was quoted in 1985 as saying no one ··had been directly exposed'' :to contaminants. including benzene. In December. Alexander told the AP he didn't recall anything about the weJI contaminated with the benzene or the en · studies that failed to for its toxicity, but said the methods at the time v.·ere still being perfected. and tbat he and the other base officials did the best they could. The records indicate the military knew a lot of specifics. For years the Marine Corps knew the fuel farm, built in 1941. was leaking 1,500 gallons a month and did nothing to stop it, according to a 1988 memo from a Camp Lejeune lawyer to the base's assistant facilities manager. "It's an indefensible waste of money and a continuing potential threat to human health and the environment." wrote Staff Judge Advocate A.P. Tokru-z. Minutes of a 1996 meeting with Moon Township, Pa.-based Baker Corp .. the third contractor. indicate the fuel farm had lost 800.000 gallons of fuel, of wl ' 500.000 gallons had recovered. Benzene was the deeper portion of the aquifer" and the "fuel farm is definitely the source," the minutes quote a Michael Baker employee as saying. The Coast Guard categorizes any coastal oil spill larger than 100.000 gallons as major. Former Marines and Camp Lejeune residents continue to fight for a compensation program ru1d to fund a mo11ality study that would detem1ine if !\lmines and sailors who were exposed to these contaminants suffer from a higher death rate.

The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Thursday, Feb. 18, the 49th day of 2010. There are 316 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On Feb. 18, 1885, Mark Twain's "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" was published in the U.S. for the first time (it had been published in Canada and England the previous December). On this date: In 1546, Martin Luther, leader of the Protestant Reformation in Germany, died in Eisleben. In 1564, artist Michelangelo died in Rome. In 1735, the first opera presented in America, "Flora, or Hob in the Well," was performed in present-day Charleston, S.C. In 1861, Jefferson Davis was sworn in as the provi· sional president of the Confederate States of America in Montgomery, Ala. In 1930, photographic evidence of Pluto (now designated a ''dwarf planet") was discovered by Clyde W. Tombaugh at Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Ariz. In 1960, the 8th Winter Olympic Games were formally opened in Squaw Valley, Calif., by Vice President Richard M. Nixon. In 1970, the ''Chicago Seven" defendants were found not guilty of conspiring to incite riots at the 1968 Democratic national convention; five were convicted of violating the Anti-Riot Act of 1968 (those convictions were later reversed). In 1977, the space shuttle Enterprise, sitting atop a Boeing 747, went on its maiden "flight" above the Mojave (moh-HAH'-vee) Desert. In 1984, Italy and the Vatican signed an accord under. which Roman Catholicism ceased to be the state religion of Italy. In 2001, auto racing star Dale Earnhardt, Sr. died from injuries suffered in a crash at the Daytona 500; he was 49. Ten years ago: Iranians voted in an election that gave reformers a majority in the parliament, long a bastion of hard-liners. Announcer Bob Hite Sr., whose rich voice introduced 'The Lone Ranger" on radio, died in West Palm Beach, Fla. at age 86. Five years ago: Explosions tore through Baghdad and a nearby city on the eve of Shiite Muslims' holiest day, killing three dozen people. Uli Derickson, the flight attendant who'd helped save passengers during the 1985 TWA hijacking, died in Tucson, Ariz. at age 60. One year ago: President Barack Obama launched a $75 billion foreclosure rescue plan aimed at saving homes. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton began a two-day visit to Indonesia. Eric Holder, the nation's first black attorney general, said in a speech to Justice Department employees marking Black History Month that the United States was "a nation of cowards" on matters of race. Pope Benedict XVI received House Speaker Nancy Pelosi at the Vat1can, telling her that Catholic politicians had a duty to protect life "at all stages of its development." The remnants of New York's Shea Stadium were demolished. Thought tor Today: "What is man but his passion?" •• Robert Penn Warren, American author, poet and . critic (1905·1989). Lawmakers address state housing woes A great deal of time has been spent in the House and Senate over the past several weeks discussing ideas for how to help the thousands of Ohioans who have lost or are on the verge of losing their homes because of the recession. Earlier this month, a very responsible woman traveled to Columbus to testify before the Senate Finance and Financial Institutions Committee about how she lost her job after many years. but was able to stay in her home after working with a housing counselor. She did everything right. She contacted her lender to let them know that she was in financial trouble. She sought assistance through Empowering and Strengthening Ohio's People (ESOP), a group that helps people in financial emergencies. A housing counselor from ESOP eventually helped her work with her lender to modify her loan from nearly $500 per month to $142 until she is able to find another job. In 2008, the General Assembly approved House Bill 138, which included a provision to allow local courts to require foreclosure mediation between a borrower and mortgage company. The House and Senate also passed Senate Bill 353 that same year to allow Cuyahoga County. which has been one the hardest hit areas in the country for foreclosures, to move forward with a two-year pilot program to create land banks designed to help the area better manage delinquent properties. There are two bills currently pending in the Senate Ways and Means and Economic Development Committee that would allow more communities in Ohio to organize land banks. The Senate Finance Committee is John Carey also debating several bills that seek to further address the foreclosure problem in Ohio. House Bill 3 would enact a six-month moratorium on mortgage foreclosures. I have concerns that this policy could worsen the foreclosure problem bv delavin!! the ine,vitable for some delinqi.ten~t bmTowers and drying up loans at banks for potential homcbuyers with good credit. In addition. the Finance Committee has had hearings on House Bill 9, which seeks to provide greater notice to tenants who live in properties facing foreclosure. The Senate Judiciary-Civil Justice Committee passed Senate Bill 13last year. which includes a similar notice requirement. and the tssue was recently addressed through a change in federal law. My colleagues and I have also listened to testimony on Senate Bill 197. which would require common pleas cou11s to establish and operate mediation procedures for residential foreclosures. While mediation is good. communication should take place between the borrower and the lender before the foreclosure process begins, making it much easier to avoid. There has been testimony in the Finance Committee that sometimes the loan servicer can be diffi- cult to locate. This is an issue that needs further investigation. As the House and Senate continue to debate these and other bills, if you or someone you know is having trouble paymg their mortgage. Ohio's Save the Dream program may be able to help. The program. which includes both public and private sector partners. works to provide information about various services available to help Ohioans stay in their homes. For more information. you can visit W\\ w.com .ohio .gov/SavetheDream or call toll-free at 1-888-404-4674. The key is to be proactive before you become delinquent on your mm1gage and face the threat of foreclosure. Once the foreclosure proce• .· starts it is like trying to undo a tr \\!reck to reverse it. I will continue to do everything [ can to find responsible solutions to help Ohioans stay in their homes. However. 1 believe the biggest thing the Legislature can do now to address Ohio's housing problem is enact policies that will make Ohio a more competitive place to do business, stimulate economic development and create good-paying jobs for Ohioans. so they can afford to stay in their homes and pursue the American dream.

Ohio senator questions halted sting at gov.'s home COLUMBUS CAP) - The Republican-led Senate is planning a deeper look into the calling off of a planned drug sting at the Ohio governor's residence. Senate Criminal Justice Chairman Tim Grendell says he is planning a hearing within a week or t\vo. Grendell tells WENSTV of Columbus on Wednesday that he doesn't like the explanation provided by Ohio Highway Patrol Superintendent David Dicken and believes politics might be at play. Authorities were prepared to arrest a woman Jan. 9 in an alleged plot to smuggle contraband to a prisoner on work detail at the mansion in the Columbus suburb of Bexley. Public Safety Director Cathy Collins-Taylor. an appointee of Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland, decided to call off the bust and tip off the woman at the last minute. She says the decision was based on concern for the governor's safety. 38-year-old female gorilla dies at Toledo Zoo TOLEDO (AP) - The Toledo Zoo in Ohio says one of its gorillas has died. Zoo officials say a 38-year-old female gorilla nall}ed Malaika died Tuesday from congestive heart failure and other complications. Malaika was born at the Toledo Zoo in 197 I and spent all her life there. She gave birth three times. and two of her grandchildren still live at the zoo. • Last 2 suspects plead guilty in drug case COLUMBUS (AP) -Federal officials say the final two defendants have pleaded guilty in a drug trafficking operation involving big shipments of cocaine and marijuana over more than a decade. The U.S. Attorney's Office said Wednesday that 45-yearold Daniel Walls and 51-year-old Mark May pleaded guilty to charges of conspiring to possess and sell hundreds of pounds of marijuana. Carter Stewart, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio, says the two men are the last of 38 defendants that ran an alleged cocaine and marijuana ring in south-central Ohio dating back to 1997. The investigation began with the seizure of 400 pounds of marijuana during a traffic stop in 2004 in Preble County in western Ohio. Man who slugged lawmaker gets probation YOUNGSTOWN (AP) - An Ohio man has pleaded guilty to a reduced misdemeanor assault charge for slugging a state lawmaker at a restaurant, knocking him unconscious. Thirty-year-old Dorian Thomas of Youngstown had been charged with felonious assault but pleaded guilty Tuesday to the lesser count. He was sentenced to one year of probaA:>n and fined $100. State Rep. Robert Hagan of Youngstown was in court and accepted Thomas' apology. The two shook hands.

As reported in Tuesday's The Daily Sentinel, collection of real estate taxes is the largest source revenue for the county general fund. as well as local governments. which depend on voted millage for operating costs and public services. Meigs County once had a relatively-high collection rate of real estate taxes - at over 90 percent. However, in recent years. the collection rate has dwindled to just over 80 percent. Prosecuting Attorney Colleen Williams has also filed a number of foreclosure actions for delinquent real estate taxes, and said earlier this year several more are to follow. of Bv KevrN Jov THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH COLUMBUS CAP) He's a curious cross between a mad scientist and an exotic chef. a hybrid of the forage-to-live mentality of "Survivor" and the cringe-worthy cuisine of "Fear Factor." Mark Berman eats bugs for a living. OK. there's more to the 49-year-old than that: He's a trained educator who takes live insects to classrooms. festivals and corporate parties to calm fears and dispel myths. (You needn't worry about swallowing spiders in your sleep or getting bitten by a tarantula.) He just happens to cook with them. too - fried zucchini-and-mealworm pancakes. Gorgonzola-Dijon salad with caramelized grubs, crickets encased in sticky brittle. "I have an unusual business.'' Berman said. "But who's crazier: the first person who ate a cow or the first person who ate a grasshopper?" He speaks quickly and zealously. having heard all the jokes. Yet the work, he said. isn't about cruelty or intentional nausea: Respect and environmental awareness are crucial. A recent demonstration for students in a ''Global Gourmet" class at Hilliard Darby High School emphasized such points. Other nations. he said. consider bugs acceptable forms of sustenance and often delicacies - as with barbecued grasshoppers in Mexico and scorpion soup in China. As for the nutritional value: Crickets are lowcalorie. caterpillars are high in protein. and termites are carbohydrate-free. In addition. insects often lurk unknown in foods that people frequemly eat from pizza sauce to fruit. (The black flecks in applesauce? Probably bug remnants, Berman said.) Gross. the students said. Is the idea any more disgusting, Berman countered. than chemical-laden gummy candy, syrupy soft drinks or fattening fast food "served by a clown"? After a prologue, the cooking began . First came an innocentlooking corn-and-onion hash. seasoned with mustard seeds and a cream sauce. Then the flair: a heaping portion of oven-roasted crickets. About a third of the 30-student class gingerly dipped forks into the plates of insectinfused home cooking. "I can feel the legs crunching!'' said LeeAnn Chumita, a 16-year-old Darby junior. "It's something different. I figured we should try it." Squeals and laughs permeated the room. One student found his taste buds "on an emotional roller coaster." Others lamented wiry antennae stuck in their teeth. Berman followed up with a standard blueben·y-pancake recipe - with wax worms. The "plump little caterpil- Iars," he said, resemble Rice Krispies when cooked. Nina Rossi. a teacher of fami ly and consumer sciences who hosted Berman in her cla~s. praised the unusual lesson. She tried both entrees. too. Several student!\ "conquered their fears" by sampling the food or simply holding a live bug, said Rossi. whose great-grandfather Herbert Osborn served as a dean of the College of Entomology at Ohio State University. "This is something they'll remember." A native of the Berwick neighborhood. Berman grew up observing and collecting bugs from East Side woods and drainage ponds. He earned a bachelor·~ degree in entomology from the University of Hawaii at Manoa, where he once stood out as the only undergraduate student in his department. He launched Bugman Educational Entoprises in 1996 while pursuing a doctorate in mosquito entomology from Clark University in Worcester. Mass. The traveling hands-on program. a quick success, allowed Berman to hire several staff members. In 200 I . he rctumed to Columbus to pursue a teaching certificate at Ohio State and continue the guest-speaker pursuit (through which he offers observational seminars that don't involve cooking or eating bugs). In the years since. though . a confluence of factors the Sept. 11 te!1'orist attack; reduced classroom availability, which he blames on the ~o Child Left Behind Act; and enrichment cuts during the recent reces-.ion almost squashed his bu-.ines~ . He persevered by providing more-diverse programs. g1ving seasonal discounts and enhancing his Web site with video and social-networking links. Appearances. depending on the .,ize and scope, cost $130 to S500. He doesn·t eat live bugs. preferring to purchase them vacuum-sealed and ready to eat from Asian Supermarket & Gifls on E. Main Street or live from a ··governmentinspected'' supplier. which breeds the insects mainly as food for larger animab, for freezing at home . And. yes. he is a carnivore.

Ohio investor wants corruption conviction tossed COLUMBUS (AP) The central figure in an investment scandal that engulfed Ohio Republicans five years ago asked the Ohio Supreme Court on Wednesday to overturn his conviction. Lawyers for rare coin dealer Tom Noe argued that his case was prejudiced by "unceasing and aggressive" news coverage of the scandal at the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation and the resulting ··public clamor." The 81-page brief reads more like a novel than a legal filing. beginning with a powerful opening line. " Public outcries ought not to be allowed to substitute for evidence of guilt, but that is what occurred in this case," it said. "It is no doubt true that a person who engages in criminal conduct ought to be convicted, but the conviction of even a guilty person. much less an biased by media coverage innocent one, should not and a ruling was issued that occur as a result of a trial in distorts Ohio law for both which the defendant's rights him and future defendants. were ignored because of the ''The rule of law should public clamor surrounding not change because of the the matters to which that temper of the public.

Instead of being on their spring breaks. students will definitely be in classrooms on April 1 with Edwards saying he is currently in the process of amending the school calendar to make up the remaining days. However, Edwards. like Buckley. noted the snow storm predicted for next week and how that could mean adding even more days onto the end of the school year and for some students. that could put them not on summer vacation but in a classroom come June. Ohio does allow districts to extend the school year until June 20. so students should be careful what they wish for when praying for snow days.

Hodges has been part of previous medical missions to the country. Pharmacist serving on medical team in Haiti POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. - Shelly Hodges. a pharmacist at the Fruth Pharmacy in Nitro. W.Va .. will be flying to Haiti later this month to provide medical care to people affected by the devastating earthquake which occurred in January. Approximately 200.000 people were killed by the quake and another 3 million people remain homeless or otherwise severely impacted by the disaster. "I casually mentioned that I would be going to Haiti on another mission trip, and before I knew it. Fruth had pledged donations of drugs and antibiotics,'' Hodges said. "This adds an extra level of support which is so desperately needed by the people in Haiti." Fruth Pharmacy will support Hodges on the Earthquake Relief ~edical Mission by donating prescription drugs, antibiotics and other medical supplies requested by the doctors. Customers can help directly by purchasing requested medical supplies at any local Fruth Pharmacy and donating them at the front register. These items will be collected and delivered to the medical team before their departure. "The Haitians have so little, yet they are generally a people," said happy Hodges. who has been on a previous medical mission trip to Haiti. "They have a strong sense of faith and family and understand what is truly important. I realize how much I take for granted after spending time with people that are struggling to have the very basic necessities of life." The medical group will be flying to Ft. Libette, Haiti. Although Ft. Liberte was not directly affected by the eruthquake, there are about 1200 refugees that have entered the town of about 6,000 from the towns destroyed in the earthquake. In addition to caring for the refugees from the earthquake, the medical team will care for the the locals that are seen in the clinic yeru·ly. Last year that was about 1.600 people. The following items have been requested: antibiotic ointment, antifungal creams, Imodium AD and baby formula (powdered fonn). Tylenol, ibuprofen. and vitamins are also always useful. ~onetary donations will also be accepted, and 100 percent of all contributions go to the Haiti Friends organization to provide food and medical supplies directly to the Haitian people.

LaHood announced $98 million for CSX Corp., one of 51 projects worth $1.5 billion that he said will have significant economic and environmental benefits. Other initiatives include money to help rebuild a scenic highway \ through Yellowstone National Park and to fund streetcar projects in Dallas, New Orleans. Tucson, Ariz., and Portland. Ore. The money for CSX Corp .. the nation's thirdlargest railroad, will be used to raise vertical clearances on tunnels and bridges, allowing trains to can·y double-stacked containers filled with electronics, clothing and other consumer goods. The money will fund the first corridor of the project, from northwest Ohio to Chambersburg. Pa .. through West Virginia and Maryland. Trains carrying twice the load will ·reduce fuel use. carbon emissions and highway congestion, LaHood said. A fully loaded double-stacked train can carry the equivalent load of 280 trucks. CSX spokesman Robert Sullivan said. Jacksonville. Fla.-based CSX and its affiliates have committed $395 million to the $842 million public-private project. The company anticipates states will contribute $189 million, with the federal government picking up the remaining 30 percent. The goal is to complete the project by 20 J5. when II an expansion of the Panama Canal will make it easier for Asian freight to reach Miami, Atlanta and other eastern U.S. cities, Sullivan said. Construction began last year on a new distribution terminal in North Baltimore. Ohio, about 30 miles south of Toledo. The terminal. which will employ 200 when completed in 2011, will serve as a hub to load and unload cargo from trains to trucks. LaHood also said Ohio will get $20 million in stimulus money to build a new bus transit center in Kent. improving connection.;; to Cleveland and Akron.

(AP) - West Virginia was determined not to blow a doubledigit lead the way it did in a triple-overtime loss just five days earlier. So the eighth-ranked Mountaineers started aggressively, withstood a rally early 'I in the second half and used their big height advantage to dominate inside and beat Providence 88-74 on Wednesday night. "We haven't been as good as we need to be in closing games,'' \X(est ~irg}~ia coach B~b Huggms said. You keep ~omg that. soone_r or l.ater tt I ~umps up and blt~s )OU •.

''You can't realJy sulk and ; complain about stuff. We • were rea!Jy hungry for the I win. We wanted to come out I aggressive." The Mountaineers took a 25-4 lead by scoring 23 straight points. but Providence cut that. to 46-28 1 I at halftime and 48-42 with a 14-2 rally to open the second half. West Virginia recovered by scoring the next nine points and stayed in front by at least l 0 the rest of the way. West Virginia (20-5. 9-4 Big East) was led by Devin Ebanks with 21 points. It had dropped from the No. 5 ranking with losses to Villanova and Pittsburgh. Providence ( 12-14, 4-10) lost its sixth straight. The Friars were led by Jamine Peterson. their tallest starter at 6-foot-6. with 20 points and 15 rebounds. Four starters for the Mountaineers were taller. "They just outphysicaled us. outsized us and definitely outrebounded us:· Friars coach Keno Davis said. The challenge doesn't get any easier for Providence. which will face its fourth consecutive Top l 0 opponent when it hosts No. 5 Syracuse on Tuesday night. Davis must find a way to keep his players from getting discouraged. "I'm open for suggestion." he said. 'T m worried about how to keep the coach from not being discouraged." Brian McKenzie. Vincent Council and Marshon Brooks each scored 13 for the Ftiars. For the Mountaineers, Wellington Smith finished with 16 points and 10 rebounds. Butler also scored 16. West Virginia's win broke a tie for third place in the Big East with Pittsburgh. Villanova and Syracuse lead the conference at 11-2. The Mountaineers were much better inside from start to finish. Of their 6-t point' from the field. 50 were in the paint. They allowed just 10 offensive rebounds to a Providence team that was averaging 17.2 this season. And they outscored the Friars 24-9 on second-chance points. Providence led 4-2 before Smith began the 23-0 run when he converted an offensive rebound. Butler scored seven points in the surge. including two three-point plays. as the Mountaineers rolled to a 25-4 lead with J1:04 left in the half. Six of their nine baskets in that spun were layups. The Friars finally scored on two free throws by Brooks with 10:40 remaining as they outscored the Mountaineers 24-21 after the 23-point outburst. Providence kept rolling in the second half when Peterson and Duke Mondy hit 3-pointers and Mondy converted an offensive rebound. forcing Huggins to call a time out. ··1 didn't think we vvere very assertive against their pressure." Huggins said. "1 JUSt think we \vere ... lethargic. I think they're not used to me coming in (at halftime) and talking to them in a real calm voice. mavbe:· Peterson made a layup when play resumed be~ ~re Smith ended the 10-0 run with a tip-in. Then. Shar Cuny hit two free throws Council sank a lay . Suddenly, the Mountaineers· lead was dO\\ n to 48-42 and there was still 16:37 remaining. That's when the they resumed playing like the highly ranked - and much taller - team they are. Ebanks. Kevin Jones and Smith made consecutive layups, and Smith tacked on a free throw. Butler's basket made it 57-42 with 13:09 to go and the Mountaineer::. were rolling. "They· re going to pose a lot of mismatches and a lot of trouble for whoever they get to meet in the i'\CAA tournament:· Davis said. "With the right pairing.

Vonn won gold while Mancuso took silver. The Vonn-couver Olympics: Lindsey wins downhill VANCOUVER. Briti1>h Columbia (AP) - Lindsey Vonn crossed the finish line, ~aw her time, then veiled and fell backward onto the snow. Joy'? Relief? Pain? All the emotions that come with being a goldmedal winner. Despite a bruised right shin that made it painful to even wear a ski boot. Vonn dominated a crash-matTed downhill to win the first of her five events at the Vancouver Olympics. (Or. as the hats seen in the crowd read: the Vonn-couver Olympics.) "I gave up e\ erything for this," ~he said. ''It means everything to me. ... I dreamed about what this would feel like, but it b much better in real life." Teammate and childhood rival Julia Mancuso was a surprising second, giving Americans the top two medals in an Alpine race for the tir:-.t time in 26 years. and vaulting the United States back atop the medals chart. U.S. athletes have combined to win 10 medals, one more than Gcrmanv. With three golds. the An1ericans are back in a tic for the most.

WOMEN'S DOWNHILL Since getting hurt in practice two weeks ago. Vonn spent more time with cheese Austrian curd smeared on her shin than being on the slopes. Several weather delays bought her time and kept her competition from getting too comfortable on this course. She kicked out of the gate strong, building a quick lead and building on it. Just ''hen it seemed :-.he might lose control, she regained her form and kept charging toward the fimsh. A small bump just before the fini::.h cost her a few tick:-.. but she still wound up winning by 0.56 second.... "I fought the whole way down.'' she said ... It wasn't a perfect run. I attacked, and I made It down." Maria Riesch of Germany, Vonn \ best friend and usual rival of late, finished eighth. The course was tough. as evidenced by all the crashes. Swedish standout Anja Paerson went down hard, and another competitor had to be airlifted out. Yet another crashed across the finish line and disappeared under a logo of a skier; in trying to get up. she stuck out one ski, making for a bizarre image. The only times Amencans took gold and silver 111 an Alpine race both happened at the 1984 Sarajevo Games. with brothers Phil and Steve Mahre !Win!! 1-2 in the Debbie slalom ~ and Arrnstron2 and Christin Cooper doing so in giant slalom. Vonn will be favored in two more race:-.. It remains to be seen how much this event took out of her - or 1f it's the start of a Phelps-like domination. ''I have what I want, and I'll just keep fighting every dav:• .,he smd. "It's definitely ·a huge relief that I finally did it." HALFPIPE White qualified for the finals without using his patented Double .McTwist 1260 trick - two flips with 3 1/2 spins - but said he'll brmg that out in the final later Wednesdav.
