He added: "Now that is a very disturbing, verj discomfiting thing to say in 21St-century America. It is very judgmental. It sounds very insensitive. It is the very definition of politically incorrect. Saying it aloud will not get you invited to .chat with Oprah. But it is a fact.

The . federal money emtbled Strickland to propose ·a budget bigger than the current two-year budget despite double·digit percentage cuts in seveml state agencies. Strickland wants to spend about $1.7 bill ion of the federal money on the Department of Education. enabling the agenc{s funds to increase nearly :> percent between the current tiscal year and the year that begins in July. The budget plan contains a mixture of big-ticket reductions and pennypinching meusures to save the st!'te money during the economic downturn. Strickland, for example, wants to cut funding for the Ohio Lottery Commission by 23 percent from current Secretary of St~te Jennifer Brunner that would ullow the state <md counties to share the costs should co.unties decide to purchase optical-scan voting equipment. The state would lend the counties a portion of the costs to make the change by issuing bonds . . Brunner. n Democrat • . has wanted all counties to be required to use the ·machines. which scan paper ballots. instead of to\tch-screen mal·hines. But the Legislutllre had balked at using ~eneral IlL\ revenue to .fund tne shift. Budget hearings had been delayed until the budget document was available. Strickland has been waiting to submit the detailed plan until the state knew how much it was getting from the federal stimulus package. Republicans huve been eager to get the detailed budget plan to see e11actly how Stnckland plans to use the federal money. They are concerned about relying too much on the one-time money - particularly to boost education spending . - because they fear it will force the state to raise taxes in future years to maintain the new level of spending. But Strickland's administration hus snid economists e11pect state revenue to grow at a rate that will enable the state to maintain spending levels without raising ta11es.

ISTANBUL - The leader of Turkey's Kurdish lawmailers startled the country Tuesday by addressing Parliament in his native language, brealling the law in a nation that has tried for decades to keep a firm grip on the restive minority amid fears of national division. State-run television immediately cut of( the live broadcast of le~islator Ahmet Turk. ostenstbly to celebrate UNESCO world · languages week. But his real aim was to challenge the country's policy toward its Kurdish population. a · suppressjon of rights that only recently has started to ease. "Kurds have long been oppressed because they did not know any other language," Turk . said. "I promised myself that I would speak m my mother tongue at an offictal meeting one day." Kurdish · lawmakers gave Turk a standing ovation. His party has 21 le~islators .· in the 550-seat parliament. .Turkey's prime minister himself spoke a few words in Kurdish at a campaign rally over the weekend. But fears of national division supponed by a war between the Turkish military and a Kurdish rebel group in the 1980s and 1990s - prevent any concerted effon to repeal the laws. Turkey is caught between the long-held suspicion that outsiders and minorities can threaten state unity, and its moves toward the kind of Western-style democracy that 'would consider a language · ban an affront to human rights. Turkish law banned the speaking 'Of Kurdish at all until I991. and toda~ it is barred in schools. parliament and other official settings on the grounds that it would divide the country along ethnic lines. Kurds, who are also present in large numbers in neighboring Iran, Iraq and Syria. make up about a fifth of Turkey's more than 70 million people.

Interstates 71 and· 75 featUred a photo of him and Cincinnati <;oach Ylick Cronin on Tuesday. trvinll: to entiL-e basketball fins back to the arena that Huggins made famous. He 'II bring his West Vir!!inia team to the ShOemaker Center on Thursday night. returning to the court where he turned the Bearcats into a nationally respected program before ,getting ousted more than three years ago. A lot has happened si nee that ugly divorce between school and coach. Finally, there might be a cham.-e for some closure. , "I think. so." said freshman forward Yancy Gates, who grew up in .Cincinnati and followed Huggins' ouster. ·'It was kind of like an up-and-gone thing. I think. a lot of people felt he . deserved to be .~ere. "I think. after the game is over. it will all just fade away." · Cincinnati sure hopes so. When Huggins lost a battle of wills with president Nancy Zimpher a few weeks before the start of the 2005--06 season, fans were in an uproar. Zimpher didn't lilce the basketball program·s image under Huggins. who sealed his fate with a dtunk.en-driving arrest. Instead of going quietly. Huggins stuck around town. allowing the wound to fester. He did commercials. He . attended a Cincinnati game at Xav1er. He accepted an invitation from senior players !o attend the final home l!ame of the season at the Shoemaker Center. . sitting across from West Virginia's bench while the Bearcats beat the Mountaineers 7875 that emotional day. Eventually. he took the . head coaching job at Kan~as State and returned to play Xavier, an event that drew thotisands of purple-clad faQs there for one reason alone: to welcome him back.. This time. his former school is the one with attns open. The uruversity will honor him by passing out signs that say ''Thanks Huggs" on one side and "Go Bearcats" on the other - a perfect symbol· of the conflicted emotions. Also, there will be a tribute to his 16 seasons at Cincinnati on the videoboard. Huggins hasn 't given much thought to his homecoming. He expects his emotions wjll get to him when he reaches campus with his Mounlllineers ( 19H. 8-6 Big East). "''m sure it will when I walk in the building," Huggins said, in a phone interview from Morgantown. "I have a lot of memories there.! had the most wonderful kids in the world. I had territic experiences there:: Not so terrific in August 2005, when Zimpher forced him out before the start of Cincinnati's first season in the Big East. Now, Zimpher is on her way out as well, preparing to take over at the State University of New . York on June I. Asked how he feels about the university these days, Huggins didn't provide much insight. · " I don't live in ihe past," he said. 'Tve moved on." His feel-good return could be more than a little awkward for his former team. The Bean:at~ (17-10, 7-7) are tied with Syracuse for· eighth place in the conference. They need' to beat the Mountaineers to maintain hope of reaching the NCAA tournament. They're coming off a loss to Louisville that prompted Cronin to move them to a less-plush locker room. All signs of desperation. "We're goi ng to have to win this one,'' sophomore guard LaiTy Davis said. That might be difficult under the circumstances. Many in the cmwd will be . cheering Huggins. As those billboards attest, the game isn't sold out, a reminder of how far . the progmm has fallen.

With starting shooting guard Delonte West inactive two days after returning from the right, wrist fracture that sidelined him for 16 games. the Cavaliers relied on a team effort to beat the Memphis Grizzlies. 94-79 on Tuesday night. (}d.lliel Gibson scored L9 points and Mo Williams added 18. The Cavaliers never tr.Uled. making for a relatively easy night for LeBron James. the NBA's second-leadfng scorer. James scored 15 points in 30 minutes and didn't play the fourth quarter. thanks to Cleveland's big lead throu!!houl the game. Rudy Gay. and Hakim Warrick. scored 13 points apiece for Memphis. which lost its fifth straight. The Cavaliers announced before the game West. who scored 25 points 'Sunday in his return against Detroit after being injured on Jan. 15., is experiencing general soreness in the wrist. With a 44-11 record. the Cavaliers want to be cautious as they eye playoff positioning and the postseason. Cavaliers coach Mike Brown said West's wrist was sore at the team •s shootaround Wednesdfly morning and the decision was made before the game that he wouldn't play. . "As far as I know. it's a maintenance thing," Brown said. "He had his wrist immobilized for a few weeks. It might be something ·he has to deal with (the remainder of the season.)" Brown · didn't know if West would be availalile when the Cavaliers open a difficult four-game trip in Houston on Thursday. The trip includes games in San Antonio. Atlanta and Miami.
