Now it heads to the only place where it flopped: Dallas. The Giants moved to 8-1 away from home with a dominating 24-14 NFC-wild-card playoff victory over Tampa Bay on Sunday. New York has won every road game since falling in. its season opener against the Cowboys. and it gets a chance tq diminish that blemish in a much big· ger matchup next Sunday, with the winner going to the conference title game. As for concerns the Giants ( 11 -6) left too much of themselves on the field in futilely trying to stop New England.'s perfect season on Dec. 29, well, forget it. After a lackluster first quarter, New York bullied the NFC South champions, who lost three of their last four regular-season games, including the final two when coach Jon Gruden rested many starters. -It was the first postseason· win for quarterback Eli Manning, who effi· ciently outptayed his co,unterpart, Jeff Garcia. Manning went 20.for- 27 for !85 yards, with almost all the damage coming after a forgettable • • d · h' h N opemng peno m w IC ew York had minus-2 yards of offense.

However, $98,903 of that balance was an unexpected inheritance tax payment in December. Minus that $98,903 and Pomeroy would've ended the year with around $35,640, making the general funds of both villages pretty even. · Despite the positive amount in the general fund, Clerk Treasurer Dave Spencer said it was "tight" in closing out the year considering the water project, and tts payments, came to a close. Racine ended the year with a checking account bal· ance in all . funds of $305,293.51. With 2007 behind · them, RaCine Council adopted .the 200R permanent appropriations estimated at $509,034.26. · The budget and status of funds were discussed at last night's meeting . of Racine Council. Also discussed was the Racine Skate Park which has been completed and a subcontract of $1 ,000 awarded to Evans Contracting to complete the · landscaping in the spring. The $1,000 was appropriat· ed from the money the vii· !age received from tne state to build the park. Council also approved the following pay rates for 2008 for the following positions: Mayor, $5,400' ·per year: Clerk Treasurer, $18,000 per year; Street Commissoner/Water Works Operator, $28,580 per year; Marshal, $8.75 per hour: Fire Chief, $200 per year; Council members, $30 per month ; Trustees of the Board of Public Affairs, $30 per month ; Street Commissioner helper, $9.25 per .hour; extra laborers, $8 per hour; ·solicitor, $5,400 per year: Grants Administrator, . $4,080 . per opening-possession 80-yard touchdown drive. · "It was a tough way to get a win and we got one," Jones-Drew said.

In fact he said the threeship Navy convoy involved in Sunday's incident had earlier exchanged normal communications with some Iran shore stations and with a passing Iranian Navy ship. Joseph Cirincione, director of nuclear. policy at the Center for American Progress, said in a telephone interview that in the absence of hard information ab9ut Iranian intentions, it is possible that they view~;d the presence of the American ships as a potential threat and were warning them away. . On the other hand, it may have been a deliberate Iranian provocation, Cirincione said. . At. the State Department, Sean spokesman McCormack said the United States would "confronf' hose tile Iranian · actions against U.S. interests and those of its allies in the region and called on Iran to halt "any provocative actions."

Church policy ' had required any suspicion of sexual abuse by church personnel be immedimely reported to civil authorities . The revtsed . policy says a person reporting abuse to civil authorities should include his of' her name. address and telephone number to help , assist in an investigation. "That's just as wrongheaded as possible. That's just silly." said David Clohessy, spokesman for the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests. "A ll reports of abuse should ' be encouraged, anonymous and otherwise, ~specially with an institution with such a horrific track record on this issue. Many victims and witnesses are terrified of retribution, and some informat ion always beats no information." Diocese spokesman Bob Tayek said there have been few anonymous reports in past years and that they're only being discouraged because ' they're often not helpful. "Terminating an employee on an anonymous allegation is really unlikely," Tayek said. Bishop Richard Lennon approved the ,revised policy and 11 took effect .on Jan. I . It changes a pol1~y that was. last updated tn 2003 dunng, the hetght of the church s sex abuse scandal. . l' The . revised po ICY makes 11 appear as though church officials are trying to control the information that civil authorities 'get; said Anne Barrett Doyle, co-director of bishopaccountabilty.org, an online archive of documents related to sexual abuse in the church. ''That's really stepping over the line and trying to suppress what could be very valid reports ," she said. · But the Cuyahoga County prosecutor' s office said the revision is .appropr:.ate. . •·.

"They're encouraging reporting and open- ness. Anonymous in format ion rriay not be helpful whatsoever and encourages a climate of secrecy." rhe . revised policy, which was drafted by a lay review board , also establi shes that in alleged abuse cases involving non-clergy, the diocesan legal office should be contacted and will coordinate an inve stigation.

Tax officials: House speaker's energy plan may be unfe·asible COLUMBUS (AP) - A propos.al to reinvest income taxes from employees of alternative energy companies into the growmg industry will hurt state coffers and may be unfeasible, state tax officials said. House Speaker Jon Husted, who came up with the idea, responded to the state Department of Taxation's concern· by saying the agency needs "new talent" if it can't start thinking about how to better develop Obio economically. The Kettering Republican wants to create an If-member Ohio .Renewable Energy Authority, which would eventually take state income taxes from any new jobs created in .Ohio by renewable- and advancedenergy companies and invest the money back into the industry. Husted says the plan would generate at least $10 million a year to help create jobs in developing technologies such as solar power and fuel cells. Husted wants to add his tax plan to Gov. Ted Strickland's proposal to rewrite regulations for the electricity industry, which passed the Senate and is now in the House. Initially, money from taxes paid by respond to those compublic utility companies ments," he said. would be used to meet the Strickland spokesman $10 million-a-year funding Keith Dailey said the govguarantee for . the ernor wants more details Energy about •the proposal and Renewable · Authority. would like to speak directly But the taxation depart- with Husted about it. ment said it must first determine how much tax revenue is collected from the alternative energy industry. In an analysis requested by Strickland, the department says it doesn't collect data to determine what portion of income taxes from renewable energy employees should be reinvested . . Estimates would be subjective and subject to manipulation or lengthy disputes. Husted said the department needs to show more ingenuity. "It's about . time the Department of Taxation in, Ohiq get itself up to speed with what it takes to grow · an economy and create jobs,"· he said.

For this, the most unpredictable of college seasons. that would be LSU; thanks to an Ohio State meltdown · that was strikingly similar to the one that occurred a year ago in Arizsma. The opponents were different and so were the dome>c, but In the end Monday night, this one felt as if we had all been here before . This time, quickness wasn't the issue. Execution was; despite the best efforts of Jim Tressel to keep his Buckeyes focused in the Big Easy and keep an inherited No. I ranking that always seemed as shaky as the Ohio State passing game. Blame it on a cupcake schedule or on a conference that simply wasn't as good as most people thought. Blame it on a crisp game plan executed by Les Miles and his staff or on too many glaring coverage mistakes by the Ohio State secondary. Those looking for deeper reasons might even blame it on a video that had to be even more depressing to Ohio State players than having to stay in their rooms all week in this party town. Tressel passed out a .copy of it to every player as a gift just before Christmas. and it was met with less than rave reviews with good reason. lt included scenes of last year 's blowout lo ss to Rorida along with commentary by television analysts around the nation saying the Buckeyes were · too slow, didn't deserve their ranking. and were lucky they had academics to fall back on. It was supposed to instill and us-against-them attitude, a tactic favored by coaches from the days of Knute Rockne. Unfortunately for the Buckeyes, it became a selffulfilling prophecy. Last year they scored on the opening kickoff only to get blown out by Florida. This year they jumped to a quick I 0-0 lead only to watch the Tigers score the next 31 points. .· . Even worse. LSU beat Ohio State at its own game, running Jacob Hester up the middle and having Matt Flynn throw conservative short routes. The Buckeyes boasted the best defense in the country coming into the · game, but LSU converted eight of 10 third down situalions in the first half and barely broke a sweat in scor- ing 38 points. "Third down is the biggest down in football," Ohio State defensive en'd Vernon Gholston said. "They just seemed to execute well." . It's little wonder Michigan wanted Miles to come to Ann Arbor and take on the task of beating Ohio State. He managed to do it rather handily without ev.er leaving Louisiana, triggering a clause in his contract at the sanw time that could be wor.th more than $3.5 million over the next few ye3fS. "Very humbly (LSU is) one of the great programs in college football," Miles said while celebrating his first national title. "It's a great place to get an education, great place I\) win a championship." . It's also a great place to celebrate a championship, something the Tiger fans, who outnumbered Ohio State supporters by a 2-1 margin, got a head start on long before they got to Bourbon Street. LSU came ·to this game with issues of · its own, including two · overtime losses that in most seasons would be enough to relegate them to' a lesser bowl. However, the Tigers eliminated any pretel)ders to the crown in a dominating per- . formance that had to be making the people who run the convoluted BCS system a lot happier. and Georgia had their moment to crow with big wins last week, but the ease with which LSU won left no doubt in this crazy college year. "My team is the No. I team ·in the land," Glenn Dorsey said. "Right now it's great to be an LSU Tiger. I love it." Tre ssel wasn't going to argue with that, even though for the second straight year he had to explain why hi s team wasn't competitive when it counted the most. He struggled to do that almost as badly as his team struggled on the field. "We just didn't do the things you need to do to win a ball game of this nature. We're very aware that LSU's a deserving champion," he said. "That was a tough football game, very demanding. I'm sure there were moments we weren 't perfectly on queue like we ought to be." Tressel will find those moments when he watches the game again, and another horror film unfolds. At least this time he'll have the feeling he's seen it all before. Tih1 Dahlberg is a national sports columnist for The Associated Press. Write to him at tdahlbergap.org Victories came easy to the winningest senior class in LSU history NEW ORLEANS (AP).. Some guys know how to win. Make that 56 victories and two BCS titles fo( the LSU senior class, counting back to the 2003 season when players . like quarterback Man Rynn and defensive end Kirston Pittman joined the program. It's probably no coincidence that a team· with veteran leadership from Jacob Hester and Early Doucet, who both scored touchdowns, didn't crack after falling into an early 10-0 · hole in Monday's :lS-24 win over Ohio State in the BCS national championship game. ·LSU had fought its way out of tough spots all season. There was a comeback victory over Rorida involving a winning drive tlJat included two fourth-and-short conversions by Hester, then finished with Hester's punishing TD run on third-and-goal. There was Flynn's 22-yard pass to Demetrius Byrdthat lifted the Tigers over Auburn with on! y one second remainmg. LSU was down 27-17 at Alabama late in the third quarter before outscoting the Tide 24-7 the rest of the way in yet another comeback victory. By . comparison to those nail-biters, they made this one look easy. On Monday, Flynn threw for 174 yards and four touchdowns. the · third to Doucet, who made one tackler miss and shook off two others to get in from 4 yards, making it 31-10 in the third quarter. Hester finished with 86 yards and powered his way in for a second-effort touchdown from a yard out in the second quarter.· That score capped a drive that started when senior cornerback Chevis Jackson intercepted Todd Boeckma.n's pass at the LS U 42 and returned it 34 yards to the Buckeyes 24. ·The key play from there was Rynn finding tight end Richard Dickson, who fought his way to the I. Then there's Pittman, who played in the Sugar Bowl victory over Oklahoma that helped LSU finish its 2003 season with a BCS title. His sack of Boeckman forced Ohio State, then down 31 c 17 and trying to stay in the game, into a fourth-and-7 at the LSU 34. Enter senior linebacker Ali Highsmith, whn charged into the backfield on the next play as Boeckman rolled out and pounded the Buckeyes quarterl:lack, jarring the ball loose for a fumble that LSU recovered in Ohio State territory. Remember defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey, the sureshot first-round NFL draft choice last sprin~ who instead opted for a semor season in Baton Rouge? His fourthquarter sack helped thwart another Ohio State drive. DALLAS (AP)- Staying at Hawaii would have been the easy choice for June Jones. It was· the challenge of rebuilding a tattered football program that led him to take the coaching job at Southern Methodist, which stumbled to a I- ll record this season. · "Where you are now ·excites me because the only way is up, and I am good at going up," Jones said Monday. The introduction of Jones at a booster-packed press the conference ended nation's longest college coaching search this year. It had been 70 days since Phil Bennett was dismissed with four games left in the season. School officials hope Jones can bring some of Hawaii's run-and-shoot magic, which produced 431 points per game, an unde• feated regular season and a BCS bowl berth this year. They were also · impressed by Jones' ability to resuscitate Hawaii, which went 012 before he arrived in 1999 and won nine games. Jones' decision to leave Hawaii came after an extraordinary bidding war that even involved the governor of Hawaii. Leigh Steinberg, Jones' agent, said the coach accepted a five-year deal worth about '$2 million per year. He said Hawaii offered about $1.6 million per year. "In 30 ~ears representing athletes, I ve never seen the emotional . reaction from a state like Hawaii," Steinberg said. "There was a flood of e-rnails and calls exhorting him to stay." Besides more money. Jones will be in the middle of the rich Texas recruiting base, and he'll get better facilities. SMU recently built a new brick-faced stadium and a modern training center. · "There's absolutely no comparison," Jones said. At Hawaii, "the office that I sat in was the same office that Dick Tomey used in 1986. The carpet was the same ... You 're talking about the NFL and a Pop Warner team.,, A handful of SMU players met Jones after Monday's press conference. The coach said he had watched tape of some SMU games and the Mustangs were "close to turning the· corner.',' But he declined to predtct how many games they'll win next season. Jones would have faced a rebuilding process even had he stayed at Hawaii. The Warriors ' who suffered a41. . 10 thrashing by Georgta m the Sugar Bowl, will lose quarterback Colt Brennan, who finished third in the He'isman voting, and leading ·receiver Davone Bess, who is skipping his senior season to enter the NFL draft. Still, the Warriors are the only football show in Honolulu, which helped turn Jones and Brennan into celebrities in paradise. · By contrast, SMU is nearly invisible in the area, overshadowed by the Dallas Cowboys and better college programs at· Texas, Texas A&M, Texas-Tech and TCU. The Mustangs play in Conference USA, which according to popular power ratings is even we*-er than Hawaii's league, the Western Athletic Conference. Jones said, however, that recruiting for SMU will be easier than at Hawaii, where distance made mainland parents reluctant to send their kids. He added that many Texas high schools now run spread offenses featuring the passing .game, just like his run-and-shoot. "It'll be fun to watch, and we'll attract the players to come play in our offense," he said. "I know there are a lot of players within 30 miles of Ibis campus." ·Jones, who turns 55 next month, had a record of 7541 with Hawaii, including42 in bowl games. His teams finished first in the WAC twice and second two other times. He went to Hawaii after 12 years in the NFL, including stints as head coach at Atlanta and San Oiego.
