Well, interior design does- not always mean knocking cjown walls. Changing a few select . items can bring new color and texture into an existing space -just the thing need. ed to brighten, lighten and transform any room in your home. . One of the easiest ways to change an interior is to start with new area rugs, which go far beyond merely prQviding a covering for the floor. They can serve as the impetus for a new color palette and decomting scheme, changmg the entire look and feel of a room without breaking the bank. From tntditional Persians to ultmmodem works of art in knotted wool, there are more styles to choose from than ever before. "Today's designs have a level of sophistication that just wasn't available in the past," says Joyce Lowe, carpet and decor expert for Nourison, the world's largest manufacturer of hand-made area. rugs . Are you a traditionalist? Choose an heirloom-quality Persian rug with fields of midnight blue accented with rich chocolate and gold. Want a living room that's sleek and modern? A rug from designer Calvin Klein, rich in texture, color and style, can provide the starting point. Color is a huge component of a room's decor and should be chosen with care. "A basic rule of thumb in interior design is to select one neutrdl tone and tWo brighter accent colors that combine in a pleasing way," adds Lowe. Area rugs from Liz. Claiborne Home, made exclusively by Nourison for exan1ple, make choosing room accent colors easy because design teams have already selected. colors that work well together. Simply pull. and match colors from the field or destgn. "Your choice of accessories should complement the decor," says Lowe. Wall colors, window treatments and accessories are important to a good redesign but need not be expensive. Toss out pillows, curtains, candles and other accessm;ies from your old room and bring in new ones in complementary colors and styles. You'll be surprised how drJmatic the change will be. . ' Promote a tradiiional style. with . classic elements; a more modem look with sleeker, . pared,down accents. Sin'ce the eye is drawn to like colors, stick to the use of complementary shades of metal and wood. Table and floor lamps don't need to match, but they should have some similar elements, in color or design. Select a new area rug, change colors and accessories and you've done a truly "extreme" makeover in your home.

M' ECONOM ICS WR ITER WASHINGTON- Rates on 30-year mortgages fell iast week to the lowest level · in a month as investors found new reasons to worry about a possible recession. · Freddte Mac, the mortgage company, reported Thursday that 30-year, fixed-rate . mortgages averaged 6.07 percent this week. That was down from 6.17 ~nt last week and was the lowest level for 30-year mortgages since the week of Dec. . 6 when they fell to a two-year low of 5.96 percent. That marked the only time that the 30-year mortgage was below 6 percent last year. Analysts attributed the decline in part to some weaker-than-expected economic reports.

Voting by mail starts for California's 2008 presidential primary .· BY MICHAEL R. BLOOD ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER LOS ANGELES - Voteby-mail ballots go out this week in the nation 's most populous state, forcing presidential campaigns to consider using scarce dollars to !ure early California voters while contests unfold in New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada. More than half the total votes in California's Feb. 5 primary could be mailed in, and many of those ballots will be cast long before Election Day in a state that has seen scant evidence of the 2008 presidential campaign. California isn't ·alone'. Residents of II states Alabama, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, . Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, South Carolina and Utah have been able to vote by mail for their favorite candidates since December. The first was Michigan, where absentee ballots were made available Dec. I for the Jan. 15 primary. But Cali fornill is the biggest prize with the most delegates. With a wide-open . race in both parties, results from early contests will carry inevitable weight here as voters make decisions in what amounts to a rolling, monthlong primary election. Spending on advertising, mail and phone banks the essential tools of reaching voters- will be tight in California as money is sucked up by earlier contests, where strong finishes could mean the difference between failure and survival. Leading campaigns have yet to run TV ads in the state. The compressed primary schedule "terribly complicates a campaign's ability to get its message across," said Democratic strategist Garry South, a veteran of Sen. Joe Lieberman's 2004 presidenin tial bid . "Voters California will be sending ballots back before candidates get here." Besides California, more . than 20 other states hold nominating contests on Feb. 5, including New York, New Jersey, and Illinois. Winners of early contests typically get a surge in fundraising, which will mean more money for those candidates, less for others. In coming days, many cam· paigns will be reluctant or unable to finance substantial activity in California· because of demands elsewhere. Budgets for TV ads and mail in the state remain tentative, although Hillary · Rodham Clinton recently financed a mass mailing to voters. "The pressures are incredible," said veteran Democratic consultant Bill Carrick, who's worked on presidential campaigns. for Bill Clinton, Dick Gephardt and Ted Kennedy. He predicted · most candidates' budgets in California would be on hold until after the South Carolina primaries later this month because "that'.s just the practical reality of it." The use of mail-in ballots has grown rapidly in .California in recent years, and analysts predict it could hit a record in 2008. In 2000, about one-fourth of the ballots cast in the presidential election came by mail. That grew to 33 percent in 2004 .. This year, ana)ysts and campaign offi- cials say it could be more th11n half. · Sonne 4 million voters in the state are enrolled as "permanent absentee voters," meaning early ballots for the primaries will au tomatically go to their homes. Only better-funded campaigns have been able to assemble significant organizations aimed at influencipg voters. Volunteers for Democrats Barack Obama and Clinton, for example, have made hundreds of thousands of phone calls to potential supporters. Republican Rudy Giuliani has a paid staff of about 20 in California, directing its volunteers and phone banks, while Mitt Romney has a paid stalf of four. The state primary could be espeCially important for Giuliani, who has largely bypassed early contests in Iowa and New Hampshire in favor of a strategy that concentrates on delegaterich states like California. "Candidates who win the early races will get some benefit out of that, some momentum," campaign manager Mike DuHaime said. But "wl!''ve · got a strong enough organization to withstand any momentum that anyone gets." PR~SS WRITER BAGHDAD - TWo Iraqi soldiers threw themselves on a suicide bomber who slipped into a crowd oelebrating Iraq's Anny Day, but the attacker det- · onated an explosives vest, killing both soldiers and nirie other people, the U.S. military and polioe said. It was the deadliest of a series of attacks across Baghdad that left as many as 16 people dead. · About two dozen · soldiers were in the street celebrating at an Anny Day event liosted by .a local non-governmental agency pushing .for uni~ .in Irnq. Several soldiers and Civilians lay in pools of blood after the attacker struck, AK -47 machine guns and shoes scattered on the ground. · Among the 'dead were four police officers, ~ ~i soldiers and four CIV!hans, a police offioer said On condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to speak to the media. A U.S. military statement four people were killed. . . ''These two Iraqi martyrs gave their lives so that Others might live," the statement said. Elsewhere in eastern Baghdad a parked car bomb exploded and four mortars landed near a bus tenninal, killing one civilian, police said. And · in northeastern Baghdad, a parked car bomb exploded outside a popular restaurant, killing one polioeman and two civilians, police said. Earlier Sunday, a Shiite tribal sheik who was trying to set up a U.S.-backed anned group to combat militias was shot to death in Shaab, one of Baghdad's most dangerous neighborlloods and a oente( for outlaw Shiite fighters, a police officer said on condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to speak to the media.

Jeff Fields Syracuse Monday, January 7, 2008 A 'defining atrocity'? Yes, against our Marines A major story of 2007 was the progressive unraveling of the case against the seven Marines and . one Navy corpsman charged in connection with the Nov. 19, 2005, killings of Iraqi civilians in Haditha during a day of intense action. To date, charges. against four of the men have been dismissed altogether. Two men h!IVe been ordered to a court martial. Two cases· are pending. What a difference a year has made since. charges came down at the end of 2006. The New York Times in October mourned - I mean, noted - the shift: "Las'·t y'ear, when accounts of the killings of 24lraqis in Haditha by a group . of Marines came to light, it seemed that the Iraq war had 1 produced its defining atrocity, just as the · c'onflict in Vietnam had spawned the My Lai massacre a generation ago:' No "defining atrocity"? Gee, that's too bad: The Times went on to lament that the presiding military investigator recommended that murder charges against the ranking enlisted Marine, Staff Sgt. Frank D: Wuterich, be dropped. And this, the newspaper bellyached, "may · well have ended prosecutors' chances of winning any murder convictions in the killings." No murder convictions?

The Clinton campaign kept ·up the criticism Sunday morning in a teleconference . call with reporters, noting that Obama has repeatedly said he does not take money from federal lobbyists or political· action committees. Obama communications director Robert Gibbs said Demers is a· state lobbyist and does not do business involving federal legislation or regulation. He said .the campaign has drawn .a distinction between lobbyists who are registered to work at the state level and those who lobby the federal government. "A ban on lobbying money and PACs is far from perfeet," Gibbs said. ''There is a difference between a college football player and professional football player," he added. During the debate, while Clinton referred to Demers, the camera caught Obama shaking his head, saying "not so." · "He was shaking his head because her implication was that it violated our lobbyist pledge and his role quite clearly does not,'' Obama spokesman Bill Burton said. Obama sounded an upbeat tone throughout the day, telling New Hampshire crowds their votes could propel him to the Democratic nomination. "You will have the chance to change America in two days time,'' he said. "In two days we can do what the cynics said could not be done. We will have the chance to come ·together•. Democrats, Republicans, independents and announce that we are one nation, we are one people and it is time for change in America. This is our moment, this is our time." . Meanwhile, the former first lady was clearly elated to be greeted by a large, enthusiastic audience in the same Nashua high school · that Obama . filled the day before. Both candidates had to use a second gym for the overflow crowd. With the war still promi. nent in the' minds of New Hampshire voters, Clinton said at one stop: "After 9/11, 1 would never have taken us to war in Iraq. I would have sta)l.ed focused on Afghanistan because the real threat was coming from there." Pressed by a reporter later to explain the comment given her vote to support the use of military force in Iraq, Clinton said it was nothing different from what she'd .said in the past. "At the time that vote took place, I said it wasn't a vote for pre-emptive war," she said Earlier Sunday, Clinton and daughter .Chelsea braved slushy sidewalks to go door to door in Manchester for about an hour seeking votes. After leaving one house, Clinton was asked by a TV reporter how she felt about · the Democratic debate the night before. "Really good," the senator said. "We ' re starting to draw a contrast for New Hampshire voters between talkers and doers." Mary Johnson, 60, a retired school teacher, 'said Clinton's visit was "a wonderful ' surprise."

Peace plan, Iran, te"orism will be on the agenda for Bush's trip to Middle East . BY DEB RIECHMANN, ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER . WASHINGTON President Bush on Saturday tied his fresh push for Mideast peace to the fight against terrorism and U.S. efforts to counter Iran's quest for greater influence in the region. .. "As we saw on September the II th, 200 I, dangers th<Jt arise on the other side of.the world can bring death and destruction to our own streets," Bush said in his wee]dy radio address. "Since then, extremists have assassinated democra,tic leaders from Afghanistan to Lebanon to Pakistan. They have murdered innocent people from Saudi Arabia to Jordan and Iraq. "They are seeking new weapons and new operatives so they can anack America again, overthrow govern- ments in the Middle East and impose·their hateful vision on millions." In his radio broadcast, Bush briefly sketched the agenda for his eight-day trip to the Middle East, which begins Tuesday, the same day as the New Hampshire presidential pnmary. . Bush is visiting Israel and the Palestinian territories, plus Arab allies Kuwait, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. He said he will encourage· Israelis and Palestinians to make "tough decisions on complex questions" so an elusive peace deal could be reached. "I am optimistic about the prospects," Bush said. His advisers, however, have all but ruled out a three-way meeting with Israeli and Palestinian leaders during the trip, dampening any thoughts that the president's personal diplomacy would yield a con- crete peace accord at this time. Bush said he will urge Arab leaders to support negotiations between the Israelis and Palestinians and stress the "importance of countering the aggressive ambitions of Iran." · The president argued that success in Mideast peace is crucial to success in the battle against extremists, to whom the violent, intractable Israeli-Palestinian dispute is a potent recruiting tool. "I know it is not always obvious why events in the nations ' of the Middle East should matter to ''the American people," Bush said. "But in the 21st century, developments there have a direct impact on our lives here.~' Bush's series of bilateral meetings begin Wednesday in Jerusalem with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and President Shimon Peres. On Thursday, Bush travels to the West Bank, an Israelioccupied Palestinian territory, to see Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minister Salam Fayyad at their headquarters in Ramallah.

However, this year's team isn't nearly so brash. Nor is anyone making the case it belongs with the greatest college teams ever, as . was the case 365 days ago.
