McKinnon charges $125 an hour, and he says about a quarter of his. clients are men. Most aren't quite beginners, but aren't masters yet, either. . "Most want help in going to the next level. It's our job to help them achieve that," he said. "We grow gardeners rather than gardens." Coaches are filling an · apparent void. That familiar trickle-down method of learning about gardening from plant-savvy relatives or. friends appears to be a fast-fading tradition for a . Select From These new generation of urban dwellers or mobile, careerminded couples. "I think there is a lapse between the opportunities to learn from a person's parents or grandparents as a child and the genuine interest (in gardening) that develops in one's 30s, 40s or 50s,' said Tracey Crehan Gerlach, who lives, gardens, tutors and blogs near Charlottesville, Va. ':For many, their 20s are a time to live in a more urban setting or focus on their career and when they make the conscious decision to relocate to the country or t~e suburbs, they seek out learning opportunities to sustain that new lifestyle." . Young women and moms tending to a ftrst yard are often those who approach Crehan Gerlach, who also hears from families who want to grow their own food and novice gardeners looking for an easy-to-tend landscape. "I'll also get bursts of interest after, let's say, a long drought. Usually (from) people hoping to plan better for next year's dry summer with the correct plants and water . conservation options."

Iraq sShiite, Sunni politicians join to · savs he tavors criticize Kurdish authorities over po{icies The Qaily Sentinel Monday, January 14, 2008 . •soon BY ROBERT BURNS AP MILITARY WRITER GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba - The chief of the U.S. military said Sunday he favors closing .the prison here as soon as posstble because he believes negative publicity worldwide about treatment of terrorist suspects has been "prelly damaging" .to the image of the United States. "I'd like to see it shut down," Adm. Mike Mullen said in an interview with three reporters who toured the detention center with him on hi s first visit since becoming chairman of the Joi!ll Chiefs of Staff last October. His visit came two days after the sixth anniversary of the prison 's opening in January 2002. He stressed that a closure deci sion was not his to make and that he understands · there are numerous complex legal questions the administration believes would have to be settled first, such as where to move prisoners. The admiral" also noted that some of Guantanamo Bay's prisoners are deemed high security threats. During a tour of Camp Six , which is a high-security facility holding about 100 prisoners, Mullen got a firsthand look at some of the cells; one prisoner · glared "at Mullen through his narrow cell window as U.S. officers explained to the Joint Chiefs chairman how they maintain almost-constant watch over each prisoner. Mullen, whose previous visit was in December 2005 as head of the U.S. Navy, noted that President Bush and Defense Secretarv Robert Gates also have spoken publicly in favor of closing the prison. But Mullen said he is unaware of any active discussion in . the administration about how to do it. _ ''I'm not aware that there is any immediate consideration to closing Guantanamo Bay," ' BY CHRISTOPHER CHESTER ' Mullen said. Asked why he thinks Guantanamo Bay, commonly dubbed Gitmo, should be closed, and the prisoners perlraps moved to U.S. soil, Mullen saJd, "More than anything else it's been the image - .how Gitmo has become around the world, in terms of representing the, United States.'' Critics have charged that detainees have been mistreated in some cases and that the legal conditions of their detentions are not consistent with the rule of. law. "I believe that from the standpoint of how it reflects on us that a's been pretty damaging," Mullen said, speaking in a small boat that ferried him to and from the detention facilities acros~ a glistening bay. He said he was encouraged to hear froni U.S. officers here that the prison population has shrunk by about I00 over the past year, to 277 . At one time the population exceeded 600. Hundreds have been returned to their home countries but U.S. officials say some are such serious security threats that they cannot be released for the foreseeable future. Only four are currently facing military trials after being formally "charged with crimes. Mullen also walked through an almost-completed top-security courtroom where the military expects to hold trials beginning this spring for the 14 "highvalue" terror suspects who had . previously been held at secret CIA prisons abroad. He was told that audio of the proceedings might be piped to locations in the United . States where families of the Sept. II terror attacks, and perhaps others, could hear them. · Mullen's predecessor, retired Air Force Gen. Richard Myers, is a defendant in a lawsuit by four British men who allege they were systematically tortured throughout their two years of detention at this remote outpost. On Friday a federal . appeals court in Washington ruled· against the four men. It was six years ago that Guantan~mo Bay received its first prisoners, suspected terrorists picked up on the battlefields of Afgha,nistan as the Taliban government was being ousted from power. The facility is on land leased .from the Cuban .government under terms of a long-term deal that predates the rule of President Fidel Castro. It is commanded by Na,vy Rear Adm. Mark Bu.zby. Gates, at a Dec. 21 news conference at the Pentagon, .noted the administration's failure to settle ihe closure debate. "I think that the principal obstacle has been resolving a lot of the legal issues associated with closing Guantanamo and what you do with the prisoners when they come back (to the United States)," Gates said. "Because of some of these legal concerns - some of which are shared by people in both par.ties on Capitol Hill - there has not been much progress in . this respect," he added. After the terrorist auacks of Sept. 'II, 2001, the Bush adminis.tration considered Guantanamo . Bay a suitable .pll!ce to hold men suspected of links to the Taliban and al-Qaida, contending that U.S. laws do not apply there because Guantanamo is nor part of the United States. Lawyers for the detainees have challenged that interpretation ever since. Before he finished his Guantanmo Bay visit and flew to Key West, Fla., Mullen got"a look at a site on the eastern shore of Guantanamo Bay - oppo'site the terrorist detention center where the U.S. military is building a new refugee camp that would be used in the event of a sudden, major influx of refugees in the area. Initially the camp will be designed to hold I 0,000 refugees and is scheduled to be finished by June.

Birthdays Ohio J~dicial College adds •diversity seminar for new judges COLUMBUS (AP) Some Ohio judicial leaders, . concerned that judges in Ohio may not run colorblind courtrooms, have added a seminar on diversity and racial fairness to the training . all first-time el~:cted judges receive. So far, 25 new judges · or 3.~ percent of all judges in , Ohio - have ·attended the . first part of the two-part' training by the Judicial · College, which is overseen · by the Ohio Supreme Court. The overwhelmingly white judicial community ~ has long struggled with per;_ceptions of raci<li bias ~n -Ohio. · : "Most of us, !think every: body, tries to be impartial, ; but our own life experiences ~ .shape the way we color the ·:world and we have to be : aware of those things," said : William Nuzum, director of : the Ohio Judicial College. · After complaints from 'Here's· Our· Card'' Page A; , BYTHEBEND The Daily Sentinel minorities, a provision in a 1995 sentencing law allowed the chief justice of the Ohio Supreme Court to force lower courts to record the race, ethnicity, gender and religion of anyone convicted of a felony. Chief Justice Thomas Moyer, who said he favored the rule but \::ould not find a way to implement it, appointed . a racial fairness commission in 1999. The commission recommended. an annual anti-racism workshop for all judges, attorneys and court personnel. A similar task force in 2002 recommended that two hours of anti-racism and diversity training should be added to the cominuing-education requirements that all judges and auomeys must · complete every two years. However: no traimng ever took place. Judicial College Director Nuzum said the court system was not ignoring these recommendations, but has had difficulties finding consensus on how to deliver the training. Critics, such as Cleveland Municipal "Judge . Ronald Adrine, who helped facilitate the new seminar, say the program is a start but wish the training was required of all judges in Ohio- some 720 people, from appeals courts through municipal courts. Many veteran ·udges 1 unconsciously run , biased courtrooms, Adrine said. "It's not just with sentencing but just in the way you run your courtroom on a day-to· day basis, the way you address people, the way you handle bail," he said. The Judicial . College is working on offering a diversity workshop or seminar for veteran judges, ~oo. but it would be voluntary, Nuzum said. ANNIE'S MAILBOX i -. ., A friend proves shes for real ..

When I tell her she really ' needs to eat, she gets mad. : Lately, she's had stomach : pains that are not cramps. I :'don't know if this is related, · but she also has been having : family, grade, depression .: and school issues. : I really worry about her, ~ but I know if I bring up ther: ·apy, she will stop speaking ··tO me.

Right now, it's best : not to talk about food, her ::weight or her eating habits. :.Tell her .you care about-her, ;:value her friendship, think ; she's a wonderful person and ; will always be there for her. i You also c;:m suggest, if she ~ feels depressed or is having ··school problems, that she :~alk to the school counselor a favorite teacher, and . ;.or " offer to go with her.

For 30 years, I tried to reach out to him, to no avail. I was so depressed I finally we"nt to my pastor and told him my story. The pastor told me to ~ave nothing more to do wtth my son because he was making me so unhappy. It's ·been two years since my son and I have spoken, and for the first time in my life, I am enjoying myself without stress. The problem is, my ve'{. good male friend can 1 understand this. I am 78 years old, and what little time I have left, I want to stay happy. How do I explain why I. don't want my son in my life anymore, and why my younger son wants ~~ihin\.~o do with his brothDear P.: You don't owe anyone an explanation. When your friend brings up the issue, simply tell him, "I know you don't understand my decision, but I hope you wtll respect it nonetheless. I don't wish to talk about it anymore." Then change the subject. It isn't necessary for him to see your point of VIeW. Dear Annie: May I offer a possible defense for "Not Impressed in Ottawa," who said her in-laws always arrive late for dinner? I have a friend who is a great hostess, but she always asks her guests to arrive hours before dinner is served. When we get there, she is still making the hors d'oeuvres. Before dinner, wine· is poured so indiscriminately that I never take my eyes off my glass or I will inadvertently end up "toasted" long before ·the meal is ready. Few p~:ople enjoy a leisurely evening of good food and conversation more than I, but waiting two hours between the hors d'oeuvres ·and the entree is an unreasonable demand on guests. Now I arrive at least 30 minutes late from the time announced. If "Ottawa" is · anything' like my friend, perhaps she · will understand why her guests are tardy. Selectively Late in the South Dear South: We agree guests should not have to wait so long before being given food -- and the nosts could be held liable if anything .happened to their drunken guests on the way home.

Iraq sShiite, Sunni politicians join to · savs he tavors criticize Kurdish authorities over po{icies The Qaily Sentinel Monday, January 14, 2008 . •soon BY ROBERT BURNS AP MILITARY WRITER GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba - The chief of the U.S. military said Sunday he favors closing .the prison here as soon as posstble because he believes negative publicity worldwide about treatment of terrorist suspects has been "prelly damaging" .to the image of the United States. "I'd like to see it shut down," Adm. Mike Mullen said in an interview with three reporters who toured the detention center with him on hi s first visit since becoming chairman of the Joi!ll Chiefs of Staff last October. His visit came two days after the sixth anniversary of the prison 's opening in January 2002. He stressed that a closure deci sion was not his to make and that he understands · there are numerous complex legal questions the administration believes would have to be settled first, such as where to move prisoners. The admiral" also noted that some of Guantanamo Bay's prisoners are deemed high security threats. During a tour of Camp Six , which is a high-security facility holding about 100 prisoners, Mullen got a firsthand look at some of the cells; one prisoner · glared "at Mullen through his narrow cell window as U.S. officers explained to the Joint Chiefs chairman how they maintain almost-constant watch over each prisoner. Mullen, whose previous visit was in December 2005 as head of the U.S. Navy, noted that President Bush and Defense Secretarv Robert Gates also have spoken publicly in favor of closing the prison. But Mullen said he is unaware of any active discussion in . the administration about how to do it. _ ''I'm not aware that there is any immediate consideration to closing Guantanamo Bay," ' BY CHRISTOPHER CHESTER ' Mullen said. Asked why he thinks Guantanamo Bay, commonly dubbed Gitmo, should be closed, and the prisoners perlraps moved to U.S. soil, Mullen saJd, "More than anything else it's been the image - .how Gitmo has become around the world, in terms of representing the, United States.'' Critics have charged that detainees have been mistreated in some cases and that the legal conditions of their detentions are not consistent with the rule of. law. "I believe that from the standpoint of how it reflects on us that a's been pretty damaging," Mullen said, speaking in a small boat that ferried him to and from the detention facilities acros~ a glistening bay. He said he was encouraged to hear froni U.S. officers here that the prison population has shrunk by about I00 over the past year, to 277 . At one time the population exceeded 600. Hundreds have been returned to their home countries but U.S. officials say some are such serious security threats that they cannot be released for the foreseeable future. Only four are currently facing military trials after being formally "charged with crimes. Mullen also walked through an almost-completed top-security courtroom where the military expects to hold trials beginning this spring for the 14 "highvalue" terror suspects who had . previously been held at secret CIA prisons abroad. He was told that audio of the proceedings might be piped to locations in the United . States where families of the Sept. II terror attacks, and perhaps others, could hear them. · Mullen's predecessor, retired Air Force Gen. Richard Myers, is a defendant in a lawsuit by four British men who allege they were systematically tortured throughout their two years of detention at this remote outpost. On Friday a federal . appeals court in Washington ruled· against the four men. It was six years ago that Guantan~mo Bay received its first prisoners, suspected terrorists picked up on the battlefields of Afgha,nistan as the Taliban government was being ousted from power. The facility is on land leased .from the Cuban .government under terms of a long-term deal that predates the rule of President Fidel Castro. It is commanded by Na,vy Rear Adm. Mark Bu.zby. Gates, at a Dec. 21 news conference at the Pentagon, .noted the administration's failure to settle ihe closure debate. "I think that the principal obstacle has been resolving a lot of the legal issues associated with closing Guantanamo and what you do with the prisoners when they come back (to the United States)," Gates said. "Because of some of these legal concerns - some of which are shared by people in both par.ties on Capitol Hill - there has not been much progress in . this respect," he added. After the terrorist auacks of Sept. 'II, 2001, the Bush adminis.tration considered Guantanamo . Bay a suitable .pll!ce to hold men suspected of links to the Taliban and al-Qaida, contending that U.S. laws do not apply there because Guantanamo is nor part of the United States. Lawyers for the detainees have challenged that interpretation ever since. Before he finished his Guantanmo Bay visit and flew to Key West, Fla., Mullen got"a look at a site on the eastern shore of Guantanamo Bay - oppo'site the terrorist detention center where the U.S. military is building a new refugee camp that would be used in the event of a sudden, major influx of refugees in the area. Initially the camp will be designed to hold I 0,000 refugees and is scheduled to be finished by June.

A similar task force in 2002 recommended that two hours of anti-racism and diversity training should be added to the cominuing-education requirements that all judges and auomeys must · complete every two years. However: no traimng ever took place. Judicial College Director Nuzum said the court system was not ignoring these recommendations, but has had difficulties finding consensus on how to deliver the training. Critics, such as Cleveland Municipal "Judge . Ronald Adrine, who helped facilitate the new seminar, say the program is a start but wish the training was required of all judges in Ohio- some 720 people, from appeals courts through municipal courts. Many veteran ·udges 1 unconsciously run , biased courtrooms, Adrine said. "It's not just with sentencing but just in the way you run your courtroom on a day-to· day basis, the way you address people, the way you handle bail," he said. The Judicial . College is working on offering a diversity workshop or seminar for veteran judges, ~oo. but it would be voluntary, Nuzum said. ANNIE'S MAILBOX i -. ., A friend proves shes for real .. BY KATHY MITCHELL AND MARCY SUGAR Dear Annie: I am 15 and :almost positive that my best is ' :friend, . "Amanda," · anorexic. I know for .a fact · that she was anorextc two :.)ears ago, but she told me ··she had treatment and is · cured. ; I rarely see Amanda eat : lunch at school, and if I ask : about it, she says, "I'm not : hungry. Just drop it." It is ·easy for her to throw food : away or say it "looks dis:·gusting" and refuse to touch :it. When I tell her she really ' needs to eat, she gets mad. : Lately, she's had stomach : pains that are not cramps. I :'don't know if this is related, · but she also has been having : family, grade, depression .: and school issues. : I really worry about her, ~ but I know if I bring up ther: ·apy, she will stop speaking ··tO me. Her parents want her :.to go (I'm not sure why) and :.she's absolutely livid with ; them. Please help. · i Concerned Best Friend ; Dear Best Friend:. :Amanda is lucky to have :)'ou as a friend. She obvi·;ously has a Jot of ptoblems ~·and her eating disorder f could be the way she tries to :maintain some control over : her life. Right now, it's best : not to talk about food, her ::weight or her eating habits. :.Tell her .you care about-her, ;:value her friendship, think ; she's a wonderful person and ; will always be there for her. i You also c;:m suggest, if she ~ feels depressed or is having ··school problems, that she :~alk to the school counselor a favorite teacher, and . ;.or " offer to go with her.

For 30 years, I tried to reach out to him, to no avail. I was so depressed I finally we"nt to my pastor and told him my story. The pastor told me to ~ave nothing more to do wtth my son because he was making me so unhappy. It's ·been two years since my son and I have spoken, and for the first time in my life, I am enjoying myself without stress. The problem is, my ve'{. good male friend can 1 understand this. I am 78 years old, and what little time I have left, I want to stay happy. How do I explain why I. don't want my son in my life anymore, and why my younger son wants ~~ihin\.~o do with his brothDear P.: You don't owe anyone an explanation. When your friend brings up the issue, simply tell him, "I know you don't understand my decision, but I hope you wtll respect it nonetheless. I don't wish to talk about it anymore." Then change the subject. It isn't necessary for him to see your point of VIeW. Dear Annie: May I offer a possible defense for "Not Impressed in Ottawa," who said her in-laws always arrive late for dinner? I have a friend who is a great hostess, but she always asks her guests to arrive hours before dinner is served. When we get there, she is still making the hors d'oeuvres. Before dinner, wine· is poured so indiscriminately that I never take my eyes off my glass or I will inadvertently end up "toasted" long before ·the meal is ready. Few p~:ople enjoy a leisurely evening of good food and conversation more than I, but waiting two hours between the hors d'oeuvres ·and the entree is an unreasonable demand on guests. Now I arrive at least 30 minutes late from the time announced. If "Ottawa" is · anything' like my friend, perhaps she · will understand why her guests are tardy. Selectively Late in the South Dear South: We agree guests should not have to wait so long before being given food -- and the nosts could be held liable if anything .happened to their drunken guests on the way home.

A Berlin-born aide to the U.S. deputy secretary of Defense has learned that a military mtelligence officer has not only read Hitler's "Mein. Kampf," but is lecturing senior officers about Hitler's heretofore unexamined goals of world domination. This schweinhunt must go. At least, that's what the German-born staffer thinks. Did I mention he's fluent in German? That's partly why the deputy secret:.rry of Defense relies so heavily on his aide's judgment on all things German, particularly when it comes to the War on Nazism's German outreach program. This program brings Nazi apologists into the inner ·sanctum of the American war machine ... Sound cnizy1 Travel forward to 1973. The · deputy secretary of Defense's Soviet-born, Russian-speaking aide is gunning for the one intelligence officer who has boned up on Marx, Engels and Soviet military doctrine. Why? Because the officer refuses to "soften" his brief on communist ideology, and IS presenting it to the military leadership - · now hearing it for the first time since the Cold War began. If communist plans for global domination become common knowledge, the aide realizes, gazing thoughtful! y at a blown-up photo of Soviet mouthpiece Vladimir Posner on his office wall, the Pentagon will surely change strategy and ·halt the USSR outreach program, which . Diana West gives commie $ymps Pentagon access ... Totally outlandish, right? Once upon a time, yes.

His contract with the Jomt Staff will end in March, Gertz wrote, because Coughlin "had run afoul a key aide" to the Deputy Secretary of Defense Gordon England. That "key aide" is Cmdr. Hesham Islam (USN ret.), ,an Egyptian-born, . Arabicspeaking Muslim whom Gordon England describes as "my interlocutor" and "personal, close confidante."

A Berlin-born aide to the U.S. deputy secretary of Defense has learned that a military mtelligence officer has not only read Hitler's "Mein. Kampf," but is lecturing senior officers about Hitler's heretofore unexamined goals of world domination. This schweinhunt must go. At least, that's what the German-born staffer thinks. Did I mention he's fluent in German? That's partly why the deputy secret:.rry of Defense relies so heavily on his aide's judgment on all things German, particularly when it comes to the War on Nazism's German outreach program. This program brings Nazi apologists into the inner ·sanctum of the American war machine ... Sound cnizy1 Travel forward to 1973. The · deputy secretary of Defense's Soviet-born, Russian-speaking aide is gunning for the one intelligence officer who has boned up on Marx, Engels and Soviet military doctrine. Why? Because the officer refuses to "soften" his brief on communist ideology, and IS presenting it to the military leadership - · now hearing it for the first time since the Cold War began.

His contract with the Jomt Staff will end in March, Gertz wrote, because Coughlin "had run afoul a key aide" to the Deputy Secretary of Defense Gordon England. That "key aide" is Cmdr. Hesham Islam (USN ret.), ,an Egyptian-born, . Arabicspeaking Muslim whom Gordon England describes as "my interlocutor" and "personal, close confidante."

Troubled system gets ready for March 4 primary CLEVELAND (AP) Ohio's presidential primary may be seven weeks away, but the elections chief in Ohio's largest county is busy preparing for a new voting system and finding a company to show voters how to use it. , The Cuyahoga County Board of Elections also must set up vote-counting equipment m a warehouse - all under the 'eye of Jane Platten, the executive director. "And, of course," Platten said, "I want i~ all done now." This is Platten's first major election since taking over the system· iti June, after Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner replaced the entire four-member board. Brunner, Ohio's chief elections official, ordered a change in voting systems about three weeks ago. With absentee voting starting in less than a month, time is not on Platten's side. Platten, who created 365task list to complete for the March 4 primary, is considered a precise planner and an attentive leader. She has the trust of the board members, but there are concerns about the time shortage. ''That's the challenge," said board Chairman Jeff Hastings. ·• In 2006, county voters first voted on touch-screen machines. The board had nearly a year to prepare, but the election still was a headache, with final results delayed nearly a week. Sloppy pre-election planning and a stubborn elections director, Michael Vu, were among the culprits, according to a review panel that investigated what went · wrong.

Three other children were pulled from Friday night's fire but died later at a bospital. Police on Saturday charged Michel Veillette, 34, with four counts of aggravated murder, . one count of murder and one count of aggravated arson. Veillette's wife, Nadya Ferrari-Veillette, died from multiple stab wounds, said Dr. Russell Uptegrove of the Warren County .coroner's office. He wouldn't say how many times Ferrari-Veillette was stabbed or the location Qf the wounds. Her 4-year-old son, Vincent, was probably killed through carbon monoxide poisoning due to smoke inhalation, Uptegrove said. Further tests of clothing worn by Ferrari-Veillette and tier son are being conducted to determine the type of accelemnt, he said: Causes of death for the other three children could be released in the next two days, Hamilton County Coroner 0' dell Owens said. The children were between the ages of 3 and 8, police have said. ·. Veillette jumped out of a second-story window and was found on the ground Friday night as the house burned. He had also been stabbed and was in stable but serious condition Sunday at University Hospital in Cincinnati. Autopsies are being divided between counties, because Ferrari-Veillette and Vincent died at the home in Warren County, while the other three children died at Bethesda North Hospital in Hamilton County. · Mason is about 20 miles northeast of Cincinnati.

Failure to pay child support, a mis\lemeanor for more than 50 years in Ohio, was tnade a .potential felony offense for chronic offenders in 1986. But local officials continue to differ on how aggressive the punishments should be. Currently, whether or not a scofflaw in one of the state's nearly 1 million child-support cases serves time behind bars rests largely on whicb of Ohio's'88 counties the offender lives in. "In one county, you don ' t pay and you wind up in jail," said Geraldine Jensen, founder of The Association for Children for Enforcement of Support. "In another, nothing much happens. That's not fair." The state's most populous ·county, Cuyahoga, has a huge child-support caseload. However, it sent far fewer offenders to prison than some smaller counties, the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections said. Just 30 of the 773 imprisoned for felony nonpayment were from Cuyahoga. Montgomery County, with nearly· half as many people, sent 75 deadbeat parents to jail in the last ftscal year. Hamilton County sent 77 and Franklin County sent 72 offenders to pri son . Twenty-two counties did not imprison anyone for felony nonsupport. · Some prison officials and prosecutors say felony filings that lead to jail time does little to get money to children. "1 don't know how that helps the family," said Cuyahoga County Prosecu.tor Bill Mason. "Prison is the last resort." · Counties· need to be able to make decisions about appropriate punishments . on their own, said Doug Thompson, deputy director of the state's Office of Child Support. . . In lieu of prison sentences, officials in Ohio have the ability to seize income-tax returns , file liens, suspend professional licenses and put up most-wanted-parent posters. Looking beyond prison sanctions is uh approach recommended by the U.S. ,Department of Health and Human Services, Thompson said. Another approach is to use education and involvement in programs that promote parent-child relationships. · . . But the threat Of prison can be an important motivat' ing force for those who fail to pay on time, said Angel Lombardo, whose ex-husband is about $15,000 behind in child-support payments for their three children. "Excuse me, but if I quit feeding my kids, I'm pretty sure the county would step in," she said. "Yet when he quit paying, dropping us down to the poverty level, nothing happl(:ns.

Troubled system gets ready for March 4 primary CLEVELAND (AP) Ohio's presidential primary may be seven weeks away, but the elections chief in Ohio's largest county is busy preparing for a new voting system and finding a company to show voters how to use it. , The Cuyahoga County Board of Elections also must set up vote-counting equipment m a warehouse - all under the 'eye of Jane Platten, the executive director. "And, of course," Platten said, "I want i~ all done now." This is Platten's first major election since taking over the system· iti June, after Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner replaced the entire four-member board. Brunner, Ohio's chief elections official, ordered a change in voting systems about three weeks ago. With absentee voting starting in less than a month, time is not on Platten's side. Platten, who created 365task list to complete for the March 4 primary, is considered a precise planner and an attentive leader. She has the trust of the board members, but there are concerns about the time shortage. ''That's the challenge," said board Chairman Jeff Hastings. ·• In 2006, county voters first voted on touch-screen machines. The board had nearly a year to prepare, but the election still was a headache, with final results delayed nearly a week. Sloppy pre-election planning and a stubborn elections director, Michael Vu, were among the culprits, according to a review panel that investigated what went · wrong. Platten has been open to suggestions and invited elections workers outside warehouse, about 5,000 the management team to a touch-screen machines recent strategy session were moved elsewhere.

Three other children were pulled from Friday night's fire but died later at a bospital. Police on Saturday charged Michel Veillette, 34, with four counts of aggravated murder, . one count of murder and one count of aggravated arson. Veillette's wife, Nadya Ferrari-Veillette, died from multiple stab wounds, said Dr. Russell Uptegrove of the Warren County .coroner's office. He wouldn't say how many times Ferrari-Veillette was stabbed or the location Qf the wounds. Her 4-year-old son, Vincent, was probably killed through carbon monoxide poisoning due to smoke inhalation, Uptegrove said. Further tests of clothing worn by Ferrari-Veillette and tier son are being conducted to determine the type of accelemnt, he said: Causes of death for the other three children could be released in the next two days, Hamilton County Coroner 0' dell Owens said. The children were between the ages of 3 and 8, police have said. ·. Veillette jumped out of a second-story window and was found on the ground Friday night as the house burned. He had also been stabbed and was in stable but serious condition Sunday at University Hospital in Cincinnati. Autopsies are being divided between counties, because Ferrari-Veillette and Vincent died at the home in Warren County, while the other three children died at Bethesda North Hospital in Hamilton County. · Mason is about 20 miles northeast of Cincinnati.

Failure to pay child support, a mis\lemeanor for more than 50 years in Ohio, was tnade a .potential felony offense for chronic offenders in 1986. But local officials continue to differ on how aggressive the punishments should be. Currently, whether or not a scofflaw in one of the state's nearly 1 million child-support cases serves time behind bars rests largely on whicb of Ohio's'88 counties the offender lives in. "In one county, you don ' t pay and you wind up in jail," said Geraldine Jensen, founder of The Association for Children for Enforcement of Support. "In another, nothing much happens. That's not fair." The state's most populous ·county, Cuyahoga, has a huge child-support caseload. However, it sent far fewer offenders to prison than some smaller counties, the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections said. Just 30 of the 773 imprisoned for felony nonpayment were from Cuyahoga. Montgomery County, with nearly· half as many people, sent 75 deadbeat parents to jail in the last ftscal year. Hamilton County sent 77 and Franklin County sent 72 offenders to pri son . Twenty-two counties did not imprison anyone for felony nonsupport. · Some prison officials and prosecutors say felony filings that lead to jail time does little to get money to children. "1 don't know how that helps the family," said Cuyahoga County Prosecu.tor Bill Mason. "Prison is the last resort." · Counties· need to be able to make decisions about appropriate punishments . on their own, said Doug Thompson, deputy director of the state's Office of Child Support. . . In lieu of prison sentences, officials in Ohio have the ability to seize income-tax returns , file liens, suspend professional licenses and put up most-wanted-parent posters. Looking beyond prison sanctions is uh approach recommended by the U.S. ,Department of Health and Human Services, Thompson said. Another approach is to use education and involvement in programs that promote parent-child relationships. · . . But the threat Of prison can be an important motivat' ing force for those who fail to pay on time, said Angel Lombardo, whose ex-husband is about $15,000 behind in child-support payments for their three children. "Excuse me, but if I quit feeding my kids, I'm pretty sure the county would step in," she said. "Yet when he quit paying, dropping us down to the poverty level, nothing happl(:ns.

IRVING. Texas - Jessica Simpson had rrobahly given up and gune shoppmg during the drive commanded by her boyfriend that took up much of the second qumter and gave the Dallas Cowboys what turned out to be a shortlived lead over the New York Giants. But, really, what's a girl to do? Long drives can just be so boring. Not ternbly effective, either, as Tony Ramo and the Cowboys found out Sunday when they extended their streak in playoff futility to II years in a loss so hard to take that even the popcorn man · himself, Terrell Owens, was reduced to tears. In truth, no one knew where Simpson was, though there was no shortage of blonde women in No. 9 jerseys in Texas Stadium. But most in the white-wearing Cro\Vd of 63,660 no doubt thought she had sneaked back into a suite and put yet another hex on her boyfriend 'during an especially futile fourth quarter for the celebrity-squiring quarterback. As steady as could be when the game plan called for controlling the ball, Ramo was equally shaky when he was forced to bring the Cowboys from behind. And when Ramo's last pass went into the hands of New York's R.W. McQuarters in the end zone, the worst fears of Cowboys fans upset over his vacation with Simpson to Cabo seemed to come true. All ~Meek long, the talk around town was that Ramo should have never left town, especially with the celebrity wannabe whose presence in this very same stadium a few games earlier coincided with Buckeyes from PageBl past eight games this season, and had won eight in a row in the series against Purdue. The. Boilermakers hadn't beaten the Buckeyes since Jan. 29, 2003. "Purdue just kept fighting and scratching at us and· played Purdue basketball, which is being physical and pressuring," Butler said. "It led to turnovers, and they got easy buckets on them." Ohio State led 36-29 at halftime, but Purdue started the second half on a 8-0 run that included two baskets by Green. The second of those, a baseline jumper, gave the Boilermakers a 37-36 lead with 16:24 to play. Ohio State led 46-44 before Grant 1nade two free throws, a 3-pointer and a layup to give the Boilermakers a 51-46 lead with I0 minutes to play. Butler made back-to-back 3-pointers to help Ohio State take a 52-51 lead. Purdue regained the momenfum when Robbie Hummel converted a fourpoint play to g1ve the Boilermakers a 55-53 lead Stunners 'from Page 81 Peyton Manning, the Chargers showed they have the ability to throw off any offense. Maybe even the most prolific attack in NFL history. The Chargers didn't come close against the Patriots in Week 2, falling 38-14. That was the beginning of a slide to 5-5 for San Diego, but the Chargers ( 13-5) are rolling now. It was a gutty showing by Rivers, who threw for three scores - he banged his right knee on a 56-yard screen pass TD by Darren Sproles to end the third quarter. And Turner, who could be a starter elsewhere but usually sits behind league rushing leader Tomlinson, gave the offense the balance it desperately needed in the late stages of the upset, rushing for 71 yards. The Chargers' opportunistic defense, which led the one of the quarterback's worst performances of the year. Fans worried that Ramo wasn't focused, and worried more that Yoko Ramo would interfere with their chance to finally celebrate. Oh, Yoko. In Ramo's defense, he wasn't helped by a ball dropped by Anthony Fasano on the goal line and two other drops by Patrick Crayton in crucial moments. He didn't have a lot to do with the penalties tlpt hurt the Cowboys late, ·save for an intentional grounding call on the second-to-last drive. And he wasn't on the field playing defense when the Giants scored in just 46 seconds after Dallas had taken a 14-7 lead with a 20-play drive that chewed up more than a sixth of the game. ''This is not about Tony," Owens said; his lower ·lip quivering and sniffling away tears in a passionate defense of his quarterback. "You guys can point the finger at him. You can talk about the vacation, but if you do that it's really unfair. It's really unfair. He's my teammate. He's my qum1erback. If you guys do that, it's unfair. We lost as a team. We lost as a learn, man." Indeed, Owens was so passionate in the defense of his quarterback that he probably with 6:55 le(t. Purdue led 62-58 when Green scored on a fast break layup. Ohio State's Othello Hunter was called for an illegal screen, then a technical foul for disagreeing with the call. Hummel made two free throws to give Purdue a 66-58 lead with 2:42 remaining. Ohio State stormed back · in the final minute. Butler and Jon Diebler each made two free throws, and Koufos scored on a tip-in with 29 seconds left to cut Purdue's lead to 71-68. The Boilermakers made just 21 of 33 free throws in the game, but Moore and Grant each made two free throws in the (ina! 29 seconds to seal the win. "We have different people stepping up," Painter said. "We have different guys making plays, and when you have that, you're starting to grow into a good team." Butler said he hopes the young Buckeyes learned from the loss. "'Now they know what the Big Ten is all about," he said. "'I told them after the game that it's not going to stop. This is how the Big Ten is." league in takeaways (48) and turnover margin (plus24 ), grabbed two interceptions - both on tipped bafls - and a fumble. While San Diego· couldn't stop Manning's offense from steadily marching downfield most of the game, it could make the key plays that get . you closer to the Super Bowl. Stiil, if Tomlinson is limited or sidelined, how much chance do the Chargers have against the perfect Patriots? Not to mention perhaps missing Rivers or tight end Antonio Gates, who courageously played much of the day on a dislocated toe. For the Colts (13-4 ), it was a bitterly quick elimination from the postseason. A year ago, they won three playoff gamef, then beat Chicago in the Super Bowl. They couldn't recaplute their touch on offense or defense this time, and a defense that allowed the fewest points during the season wore down against the equally , physical Chargers.

Though their comeback failed, Gilmore was encouraged by what she saw from her Lady Raiders. "They could have· easily put their heads down, and they didn't.

AIs<;~ scoring f?r Meigs were Tncm Sm1th, Men VanMeter, and Morgan Howard with six points each. Amy Barr had four points, and Brittany Preast had three. Howard also had 14 rebounds. Fouling out along with Wolfe were Preast and Melissa Grueser. For the Lady Raiders, Kirsten Carter followed up in. the ' regular season joining Dailas' 1998 club . Worst of aU is the extension of all the skids: Ramo now 0-2 in the playoffs, coach Wade Phillips 0-4 and the team 0-for-the-postseason since winning a wildcard game in 1996. The Cowboys have dropped five games since then. The Cowboys might be headed into a stormy offseason. Team owner Jerry Jones said Thursday he • would keep Phillips regardless of what happened in the playoffs. Now that will be tested, especially with highly valued assistant coaches Jason Garrett and Tony Sparano interviewing for jobs elsewhere. Critics may point to Romo's trip to Mexico last weekend with his latest celebrity girlfriend as a dis· ruption, but the problems went a lot deeper. There were all kinds of penalties that hurt Dallas drives and helped. New York's, sloppy tackling on defense and spe· cia! teams, dropped passes imd wasted timeouts. The Giants loved every bit Marcum with I0 points. Jenna Ward, who had ni11e points in the junior varsily game, had seven off the bench, while Mackenzie Cluxton, Brooke Taylor, and Kelsey Sands all scor~d five. !Iiana· Corfias had three, Rachel Walburn had two, and Molly Rufl' had one. ., Sands and Cluxton we{e the other two foul-outs for River Valley. In the junior varsity game earlier in the night, River Valley defeated Meigs 4Q38.

New York gave up 45 and 31 points in the first two meetings, in part because t))e defensive front that produced an NFL-best 53 sacks went ~ard after Ramo but missed and wound up ailowing big plays. This ume, the Giants were content to give up short yardage, and tlie Cowboys accepted the invitation.

Dallas converted eight straight third downs in that stretch, yet came away leading only 1714 mi~way through the second.quarter.

IRVING. Texas - Jessica Simpson had rrobahly given up and gune shoppmg during the drive commanded by her boyfriend that took up much of the second qumter and gave the Dallas Cowboys what turned out to be a shortlived lead over the New York Giants. But, really, what's a girl to do? Long drives can just be so boring. Not ternbly effective, either, as Tony Ramo and the Cowboys found out Sunday when they extended their streak in playoff futility to II years in a loss so hard to take that even the popcorn man · himself, Terrell Owens, was reduced to tears. In truth, no one knew where Simpson was, though there was no shortage of blonde women in No. 9 jerseys in Texas Stadium. But most in the white-wearing Cro\Vd of 63,660 no doubt thought she had sneaked back into a suite and put yet another hex on her boyfriend 'during an especially futile fourth quarter for the celebrity-squiring quarterback. As steady as could be when the game plan called for controlling the ball, Ramo was equally shaky when he was forced to bring the Cowboys from behind. And when Ramo's last pass went into the hands of New York's R.W. McQuarters in the end zone, the worst fears of Cowboys fans upset over his vacation with Simpson to Cabo seemed to come true. All ~Meek long, the talk around town was that Ramo should have never left town, especially with the celebrity wannabe whose presence in this very same stadium a few games earlier coincided with Buckeyes from PageBl past eight games this season, and had won eight in a row in the series against Purdue. The. Boilermakers hadn't beaten the Buckeyes since Jan. 29, 2003. "Purdue just kept fighting and scratching at us and· played Purdue basketball, which is being physical and pressuring," Butler said. "It led to turnovers, and they got easy buckets on them." Ohio State led 36-29 at halftime, but Purdue started the second half on a 8-0 run that included two baskets by Green. The second of those, a baseline jumper, gave the Boilermakers a 37-36 lead with 16:24 to play. Ohio State led 46-44 before Grant 1nade two free throws, a 3-pointer and a layup to give the Boilermakers a 51-46 lead with I0 minutes to play. Butler made back-to-back 3-pointers to help Ohio State take a 52-51 lead. Purdue regained the momenfum when Robbie Hummel converted a fourpoint play to g1ve the Boilermakers a 55-53 lead Stunners 'from Page 81 Peyton Manning, the Chargers showed they have the ability to throw off any offense. Maybe even the most prolific attack in NFL history. The Chargers didn't come close against the Patriots in Week 2, falling 38-14. That was the beginning of a slide to 5-5 for San Diego, but the Chargers ( 13-5) are rolling now. It was a gutty showing by Rivers, who threw for three scores - he banged his right knee on a 56-yard screen pass TD by Darren Sproles to end the third quarter. And Turner, who could be a starter elsewhere but usually sits behind league rushing leader Tomlinson, gave the offense the balance it desperately needed in the late stages of the upset, rushing for 71 yards. The Chargers' opportunistic defense, which led the one of the quarterback's worst performances of the year. Fans worried that Ramo wasn't focused, and worried more that Yoko Ramo would interfere with their chance to finally celebrate. Oh, Yoko. In Ramo's defense, he wasn't helped by a ball dropped by Anthony Fasano on the goal line and two other drops by Patrick Crayton in crucial moments. He didn't have a lot to do with the penalties tlpt hurt the Cowboys late, ·save for an intentional grounding call on the second-to-last drive. And he wasn't on the field playing defense when the Giants scored in just 46 seconds after Dallas had taken a 14-7 lead with a 20-play drive that chewed up more than a sixth of the game. ''This is not about Tony," Owens said; his lower ·lip quivering and sniffling away tears in a passionate defense of his quarterback. "You guys can point the finger at him. You can talk about the vacation, but if you do that it's really unfair. It's really unfair. He's my teammate. He's my qum1erback. If you guys do that, it's unfair. We lost as a team. We lost as a learn, man." Indeed, Owens was so passionate in the defense of his quarterback that he probably with 6:55 le(t. Purdue led 62-58 when Green scored on a fast break layup. Ohio State's Othello Hunter was called for an illegal screen, then a technical foul for disagreeing with the call. Hummel made two free throws to give Purdue a 66-58 lead with 2:42 remaining. Ohio State stormed back · in the final minute. Butler and Jon Diebler each made two free throws, and Koufos scored on a tip-in with 29 seconds left to cut Purdue's lead to 71-68. The Boilermakers made just 21 of 33 free throws in the game, but Moore and Grant each made two free throws in the (ina! 29 seconds to seal the win. "We have different people stepping up," Painter said. "We have different guys making plays, and when you have that, you're starting to grow into a good team." Butler said he hopes the young Buckeyes learned from the loss. "'Now they know what the Big Ten is all about," he said. "'I told them after the game that it's not going to stop. This is how the Big Ten is." league in takeaways (48) and turnover margin (plus24 ), grabbed two interceptions - both on tipped bafls - and a fumble. While San Diego· couldn't stop Manning's offense from steadily marching downfield most of the game, it could make the key plays that get . you closer to the Super Bowl. Stiil, if Tomlinson is limited or sidelined, how much chance do the Chargers have against the perfect Patriots? Not to mention perhaps missing Rivers or tight end Antonio Gates, who courageously played much of the day on a dislocated toe. For the Colts (13-4 ), it was a bitterly quick elimination from the postseason. A year ago, they won three playoff gamef, then beat Chicago in the Super Bowl. They couldn't recaplute their touch on offense or defense this time, and a defense that allowed the fewest points during the season wore down against the equally , physical Chargers.

Though their comeback failed, Gilmore was encouraged by what she saw from her Lady Raiders. "They could have· easily put their heads down, and they didn't.

AIs<;~ scoring f?r Meigs were Tncm Sm1th, Men VanMeter, and Morgan Howard with six points each. Amy Barr had four points, and Brittany Preast had three. Howard also had 14 rebounds. Fouling out along with Wolfe were Preast and Melissa Grueser. For the Lady Raiders, Kirsten Carter followed up in. the ' regular season joining Dailas' 1998 club . Worst of aU is the extension of all the skids: Ramo now 0-2 in the playoffs, coach Wade Phillips 0-4 and the team 0-for-the-postseason since winning a wildcard game in 1996. The Cowboys have dropped five games since then. The Cowboys might be headed into a stormy offseason. Team owner Jerry Jones said Thursday he • would keep Phillips regardless of what happened in the playoffs. Now that will be tested, especially with highly valued assistant coaches Jason Garrett and Tony Sparano interviewing for jobs elsewhere. Critics may point to Romo's trip to Mexico last weekend with his latest celebrity girlfriend as a dis· ruption, but the problems went a lot deeper. There were all kinds of penalties that hurt Dallas drives and helped. New York's, sloppy tackling on defense and spe· cia! teams, dropped passes imd wasted timeouts. The Giants loved every bit Marcum with I0 points.

New York gave up 45 and 31 points in the first two meetings, in part because t))e defensive front that produced an NFL-best 53 sacks went ~ard after Ramo but missed and wound up ailowing big plays.

Ponomareva, Dublnin and Gromov from Russia, and Balicki and Zmudzinski from Poland. In the other room, Cezary Balicki and Adam Zmudzinski had gone down one In four spades after Claudio Nunes (West) ted a heart. To win the gold medal, Bessls falber and son had to be at least plus 90. (Plus 50 would result In ovenlme.) Thomas Bessis' two-club response showed a maximum pass with at least three spades. Michel's two-diamond rebid promised a full opening bid, but denied the values to jump to game. North, with only 1hree trumps and 4-3-33 distribution, settled for two spades. Then, after Alexander Dublnln (West) balanced with a takeout double, Nonh redoubled to show a maximum. Andrei Gromov (East) did well to l>d three clubs, a contract that would surely have made. II East had passed, West might have bid three hea~s, which could havS · been deleated and led to eXIra boards. When three clubs got back to North, everyone watching at the playing site and on the Internet expected him to pass, losing the gold ·medal. He had shown his hand; $Ur81y it was- up to his father to bid three spades. But no North fudged perteclly, bidding three spades. West led his trump, but nothing would have defeated the contract. South lost one spade, two hearts and on~ club for plus 140 and the title. 50 Cllek-on lteme 52 Common obstacles. Q!

"I would just like to be out · there to be able to say 'You know what, I'm out here, I'm working hard and I'm helping these guys win,"' Oden said before Sunday 's game at Toronto. "I've got to keep in mind that I can' t do anything but help myself and get myself ready for next year." f"(is recovery is expected to take six to 12 months. So far, Oden said everything is progressing well. "The knee's going good,'' Oden said. "The rehab is going great. I feel great." Oden had an MRI after his knee became swollen during preseason .workouts. Team physician Don Roberts perfprmed the surgery. Other high-profile players who have undergone the procedure include Jason Kidd, Amare Stoudamire and former Blazer Zach Randolph. Despite not playing a single game as a pro, Oden has been learning a lot about !if<; m the NBA as he watches from the bench. "It's' really helping me with my conf~dence," Oden said.
