The blast around 8 a.m. demolished an apparently unoccupied home, leaving a hole. Only the .chimney was left of one .adjacent home. and another had just one wall standing. Authorities evacuated the street where the explosion occurred, located on the city's east side, and were checking for leaking natural gas. City and federal authorities were trying to determine the cause of the blast. Fire Department spokesman Larry Gray said the injuries were minor. mostly burns . MetroHealth Medical Center said it received six adults and five children from the scene Neighbors told firefighters that the house that blew up was vacant. Gray said. People Jiving in suburbs at least I 0 miles away reported feeling the explosion. Neil Durbin, a spokesman for Dominion East Ohio, said crews were canvassing the area for gas leaks and shut off service to 17 homes as a safet) measure. A public school located in the neighborhood closed for the day before students arrived. A blast in January destroyed a house on the city's west side and damaged more than 50 others. A neighbor with two arson convictions has been charged in that explosion. ASK D R.

My daughter really wants to participate, but 1 feel like she's too young to be able to take a leatlership role with younger kids.

Dear A.G.: There definitely is no harm in letting your daughter partieipate in a mentoring program through her school. While you may thilll< she is not grown-up enough to contribute to younger kids' education, it actually can help her to take on more responsibility and become more mature. Your daughter acts as a role model for students someone they can look up to both inside and outside the classroom. Your daughter also will be able to gain a little perspective on her own life by talking to younger kids. · It's a funny thing to think about - an elementary-schooler looking back and taking stock of her life - but it's important. nonetheless, for her development. She may have accomplished more than she realizes or grown up in ways that she didn't notice. and by comparing herself now to the person she used to be when she was the same age as the students she will be mentoring. she easily can see ho-w far she's come. Thb type of mentoring also can help your daughter develop interpersonal skills, like active listening, empathy and patience, as \>veil as emo·tiona! intelligence and integrity. Even if these things don't come totally natural!) to your daugh· tcr. it is better for her to start becoming comfortable with taking leadership roles as early as pos sible so she can grow into these impmtant life skills.

Today's Highlight in History: On May 13, 1940, in his first speech as prime minister of Britam, Winston Churchill told Parliament, "I would say to the House, as I said to those who have joined this government: I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat." On this date. In 1607, Engl sh colonists arrived by ship at the s1te of what became the·Jamestown settlement in Virgima (the colomsts went ashore the next day). In 1846, the United States declared that a state of war already existed with Mexico. In 1917 three shepherd children near Fatima, Portugal, reported seemg a visron of the Virgin Mary. In 1918, the first U.S. airmail stamps. featuring a picture of a Curtiss JN-4 biplane, were issued to the pubhc. (On a few of the stamps, the biplane was rnadvertently pnnted upside-down, making them collector's rtems.) In 1954, President Dwrght D. Eisenhower signed into law the St. Lawrence Seaway Development Act. The musical play "The Pajama Game" opened on Broadway. In 1958, Vice President Richard Nixon and his wife, Pat, were spat upon and their limousine battered by rocks thrown by anti-U.S. demonstrators in Caracas, Venezuela. In 1968, a one-day general strike took place in France in support of student protesters. In 1981 Pope John Paul II was shot and seriously wounded in St. Peter's Square by Turo<ish assailant Mehmet Ali Agca. In 1985, a confrontation between Philadelphia authorities and the radical group MOVE ended as police dropped a bomb onto the group's row house; 11 people, including founder John Africa, diej in the resultrng frre that destroyed 61 homes. In 1994, Presrdent Bill Clinton nominated federal appeals Judge Stephen G. Breyer to the U.S. Supreme Court to replace retiring Justice Harry A. Blackmun Frve years ago: The Pentagon proposed the most sweeping changes to its network of military bases tn modern history. The president of Mexico, Vicente Fox, praised the dedication of Mexicans working in the United States, saying they were willing to take Jobs that "even blacks" wouldn't do, a statement that prompted criticism in the United States.

Over the past 10 years, Career Athletes has conducted over 800 training and development seminars at universities throughout the country providing much needed career education for over 250,000 student-athletes. In addition to their proprietary training and development seminars, Career Athletes builds and maintains cus- tomized career networking web sites for individual university athletic departments providing additional career education, mentors, access to career opportunities and potential employers upon graduation, and a platform to connect with athletic alumni who are encouraged to join the network as mentors and/or job seekers. "It's obvious that the administration at the University of Rio Grande cares about its studentathletes beyond their playing days and graduation, and we are excited to be partnered with such an outstanding institution," said Chris Smith CEO and President of Career Athletes. " Due to the demanding nature of collegiate athletics, these athletes face a unique set of challenges regarding career development not typically experienced by the general student-body. The current economic environment will provide even greater challenges for today's student-athletes to overcome, making career development more important than ever." Rio Grande athletic director Jeff Lanham sees this partnership as a tremendous way to help Rio's athletes with their future. "We ha"e been concerned at Rio how our ·senior athletes are dealing with the question: Where will I be in I 2 months? Our search has led us to Career Athletes and their wide range of career development information," Lanham said. "The resources which will be provided by Career Athletes will reach beyond our current seniors. The services connect the athletes with potential employees, former alumni athletes and current student/athletes. "This opportunity is as valuable to them as the degrees the) receive. The experiences they receive from athletics can be transfetTed to their OCl'Upation through Career Athletes. Our athletes will shift their success from their teams and to their emplo) ment. Career Athletes \\ill be the dri\'ing force in this transformation." Lanham envisions a great partt1ership '" ith Career Athletes. "We are looking t'orward to a great relationship with this organization,'' he said. "They have been very helpful in the training process for our student/athlete.

Sarah Hawley/photos Cushing keeps AP Defensive Rookie award NEW YORK (AP) A positive drug test notwithstanding. Houston Texans linebacker Brian Cushing is still T he Associated Press NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year. Five days after he was suspended without pay for four games, a nationwide panel of 50 sports writers and broadcasters who cover the NFL voted again to give Cushing the award. He didn't receive anywhere near the 39 votes of his previous landslide victory, but the 18 he got in Wednesday's revote were enough to reclaim the honor. · " I was just glad to hear the news, that people stuck by me. Very honored," Cushing said. ''I'm very happy to have the award o nce again, • and I'm just happy with how everything turned out." Although Cushing said he took a nonsteroid substance, the league stil1 considers it a performance-enhancer. In the revote, Cushing finished five votes ahead of Buffalo safety Jairus Byrd. Green Bay linebacker Clay Matthews III got 12, Washington linebacker Brian Orakpo earned three votes, and St. Louis linebacker James Laurinaitis got one. Three voters abstained. In all, 19 voters switched from Cushing to another player, and one voted for Cushing after picking Byrd originally. "I'm good," Byrd said. referring to the result. "Yeah, I'll! fine with it." In the original balloting in January. Cushing received 39 votes to six for Byrd, three for Matthews and two for Orakpo. Cushing did lose his spot on the All-Pro second team, for which he originally had five votes and now has just one. "If Brian Cushing had come out with a plausible excuse as to why he failed a test for prohibited substances, he could have kept his defensive rookie of the year award as far as I was concerned," said voter Dan Pompei of the Chicago T ribune. " B ut his silence was deafening, disturbing and damning." Not to some voters. " If I had known in January when we initial- I ly voted that Brian Cushing had tested posi tive for a banned substance. I might not have voted for him," said Charean Williams of the Fort Worth StarTelegram and president of the Pro Football Writers of America. "However. Cushing won the award in January, and I don't feel like we should revise J;tistory. I am concerned about the precedent." John McClain of the Houston Chronicle voted for Cushing the first time and had "no problem'' voting for him again. "In good conscience, I couldn't not vote for him after voting for Julius Peppers in 2002 knowing he'd tested Please see Cush~ng, 86 "They got me," he said. But which one'.' The league's two-time MVP?

"Ho.:\ "01110 to nive us a oreal ~shot dhursda) ). \vc ·rc going to have to take it.\\ ithstand it and still v. in the game ... The Celtics Big Three of Garnett.

But in Gmne '\, they combined for 64 in a 32-point victory. ''When \\C pia> \Veil, it's because of the1r experience." Ri\·ers said With a smik. "When we (stink) it's because they're too old. That's basically how it's· been throughout and that. in some ways, ma) be tme at time!'.. But 1 would a! ways lean on the experience side." That's "here Garnett ' comes 111. The 15-vear veteran averaged 14.3 points durim! the regular .season. But he's been remarkably conSistent against Cleveland. scoring 18. 18. 19, !8, and 18 points in the five games for an average of 18.2. He also leads the team with 7 .2 rebounds per game. The Celtics want to feed him in the post where the 6-foot-11 Garnett can work on his 6-9 defender. ''I think we've got a great matchup with him and Antawn Jamison. so that's why he's been more aggressive." Boston center Ket1drick Perkins said. "He kno>\ s we 'rc trying to go to him. We told him to be aggressive and we wru1t him taking 20 shots a game." ~ Gamctt took 21 shots in a Game 2 wm. But he had 25 combined in khe last l\\O games. Other players were.._the offensive stru'S m those games - Rajon Rondo with 29 points, 18 rebounds and I 3 assists in Game 4 and Paul Pierce points, I J with 21 rebounds and seven assists 111 Game 5 after struggling the previous three games. "We did a oood job on Rondo in the ftrst half. but he came out and played well in the second half' on Tuesday. Jamison said. "You knew The Big Three were going to get it going at some point. Not only them. but their whole temn pretty much did whatever they wru1ted to do." StilL the possibility of returning to Cleveland concems Davis. ''People don't realize how much we have on our back;' he said. "If we lose this game here at home. we've got to go back to Cleveland. even though we know we can win there. But. at the same time. that's their house." Cleveland won Game 3 in Boston 124-95 but lost there two days later 97-87. "It's disappointing that we put ourselves in this situation where we have to win.'' Jamison said. "If we want to be called champions. we have to do what chan1pions do and that's win on the road." Orlando did that last year in Game 7 of the Eastem semifinals when it won in Boston 101-82. ·'It's a different (opponent)" now. Davis said. ''We've got KG. We didn't have Rasheed Wallace. We were kind of short-handed." They're less likely to lose another now that they have Garnett. "You've got your defensive leader on the floor and your verbal leader," Rivers said. ·'Jt's big for us." Cavs never been who I am." Cle,eland has been outplayed by Boston for the majority of the series. The Ca' aliers have had no answer for Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo. the Cavs· defense has been suspect and the lack of in-game adju~tments have brou~ht renewed heat to Bro~n. who is in his fifth season. Gilbert. who sat courtside in shock a~ the Cavs were blov.n out for the second straight home game. expressed frustration at his team's Jack of effort. In comments to cleveland.com. he seemed to lay some of the blame on Brown. "The entire franchise has done everything in ib po" er to put all our players ~md its coaching ~taff in the best possible positions to execute when it counts:· Gilbert told the Website. "The last two home playoff losse~ and the manner in \vhich we lost these game does not come close to being any" here near the high expectations all of us have of our organization. Our fans and supporters deserve more." James respects Gilbert's view. even though he may not share it. ''I don't get involved in what owners say," he said. "That's how he feels. As player'>. we go out there and it's not like we're not giving a great effort or tryirig to play hard. It's not like we go out in a game and say. 'Let's not play hard for the fans.' When you lose bad like that, we hurt just as much as the} hurt. But as professionals, we've just got to play a I ittle better." James had better or his image will continue to take a beating. His very un-LeBronlike performance in Game 5 led to a skewer- ing by national columnists and sports talk radio hosts, some of whom questioned his passion and desire to be great. Already con~idered one of the game's most skilled players James place among the all-time greats will be judged by the number of titles. And unless he does something drastic. No. 1 will remain elusive. He torched the Celtics for 38 points 111 Cleveland's win in Game 3. and he can quiet his doubters by leading the Cavs to victory in Game 6. "1 just need to play welL" he said. "It's not just me. It's everyone. I put a Jut uf pressure on me. of course. That's just the type of player 1 am and that's how I hold myself accountable. "I need one of those games and I look forward to having one.'' season." James wa~ m a better mood than after Game 5, when he was somewhat somber and spoke with a sense of resignation that he had clone all he could. He.engaged in a competitive shooting game - ar the basket closest to the TV cameras \\ ith teammates bdore talking to reporters. At one point. he even joked he should be given preferential treatment because of his elbow. which has been diagnosed as a sprain and is clearly affecting his s~ot. ''I've got a hand1cap sticker on." he yelled to teammates. ·'You've got to give me special privileges." His tone and body language on and off the floor in Game 5 were puzzling for Clevelanders. who have rarely seen him in anything but in assaultthe-rim mode. James never got into the flow. He attempted just four shots in the first half. didn't make his first field goal until late in the third quarter and was essentially a non-factor in the Cavs' biggest game this season. It was shocking. For everyone. Jame~. though. chalked it up to an "off' shooting night and was dismis\ive about being disheartened by his effort. . "Me? Personally?" he said. "Nah, I:m not disappointed. I'm never disappointed in my play. I feel like I could do more. but I'm not disappoimed at all.'' James said his cool post~ame disposition was nothmg ne~. He wasn't going to bang the table or yell and scream. That wouldn't be him. But that cloesn 't mean J1e isn't mad about beine: one loss from elimination and missing hie, best chance at his first title. ·•rt's just who I am," he said. "I'm not going to show you that I'm angry. IfJ show a sense of panic, guys follow my lead. [f I come over here and panic and say, 'We lost by 30 and we don't kno\\ what to do.' That's not right.

One voter who switched from Cushing, Adam Schein of Sirius NFL Radio and foxsports.com, said he was stunned by the outcome.
