BY TtM DAHLBERG /.P SPORTS COLUMNIST He threw three interceptions, after throwing only ei~ht all season. A week after nnssing only two throws out of 28, he missed that many the first two times he dropped back to pass. "It just felt like everything was a struggle today," Brady said. Ultimately it was the defense Behchick takes such pride in that was the difference in this game. The Chargers had the ball inside the 10 three tinies and had to settle for field goals each time, including their final score midway through the third quarter. That made it 1412 and caused some nervous twittering among the bundled-up crowd. Brady would make one final mistake, getting picked off in the end zone · by Antonio Cromartie, but came back to lead the Patriots to a touchdown early in the fourth quarter. Then he mostly handed the ball off to Laurence Maroney as the Patriots ran the last 9: 13 off the clock. "It's nice to know ~ou can win the close ones,' Brady said. "It's nice to know you can win the ones when you face some adversity." More than just winning the close ones, Brady wins the big ones. He's an amazing 14-2 in playoff games and is heading for his fourth Super Bowl, where he's undefeated in three previous appearances. He's the game's biggest · star heading once again to the game's biggest showplace. Arizona awaits. Expect the hair to be in place, as well as his game. Brady had barely gotten out of the postgame shower Sunday and he was already talking about redeeming himself in the Super Bowl, as if he had something to prove. He doesn't because things are already about as perfect as they can get. GREEN BAY, Wis. The resemblance was unmistakable everywhere except on the field. Once· Eli Manning stepped between the white lines, he somehow made football seem more like his burden than his birthright. He is the son of one great quarterback and the little brother of an even better one. But he lacks the devilmay-care charm that made his dad, Archie, such a heroic figure on all those lousy -teams in New Orleans. And he has yet to display the rocket arm or tactical mastery that made Peyton such a success in Indianapolis. · In fact, until Eli capped the best four-game run ofhis own maddenmg career with a flawless performance on a frozen fiefd far from New York, it seemed fair to wonder whether the family gene. pool was empty by the time he waded ·in. "I might be a hard guy to . read," Manning said, tn one of the understatemems of the season, moments after the Giants advanced to the Super Bowl with a 23-20 overtime win against the Packers. "But rigfit now, I'm as excited as I can be." We'll have to take his w.ord on . that. Eli's expression gives away so little that for much of the fourth quar- . ter and into overtime, the TV broadcast kept cutting to shots of Archie m a skybox at Lambeau Field burying his head in his hands. That way, at least, we knew somebody in the Manning family was anguishing over the outcome. Once Giants kicker Lawrence Tvnes made up for two fourth-quarter misses by <!£illing the 4?-yard game-wmner m overttme, a smile flashed briefly across Eli's lips. He ran onto the field looking for someone to hug and settled on Jeff Feagles, the Giants' holder on thdinal play. Then Eli's eyes got wide as he looked up to see his opposite number headed in hts direction. Yet it hardly looked like a meeting of equals. Brett Favre already had his helmet off and the poncho draped over his shoulders, set off by silver stubble and a tired grin, made him look more regal than usual. Manning, still wearing his helmet and an awed expression, thrust his hand forward like a kid about to shake his idol's hand. The only thing miss· ing was a slip of paper in his Palm for Favre's autograph. Unu'I Sunday nig ht, though, that mt~ht have been the ro~al "we.

It's about this whole team." Giants coach Tom Coughlin might disagree, but lie has no Detter explanation for . the sudden tut:naround than Manning dries. He can't say why his quar- · terback's rating JUmped SO points the last few weeks, nor why he hasn't turned the ball over even once during that stretch. "Certainly not ideal conditions yet the focus of Eli was outstanding;" Coughlin said. "He just willed himself to play well." Archie Manning wasn't going to try to explain the numbers; either. Outside the Giants locker room, he cou,ld hardly believe his . good fortune. Peyton went to the Super Bowl and got his ring last season. Now much-maligned Eli, the runt of the Manning litter, was going to get his shot. "My cup runneth over," Archte said. "We're not crowning him yet. But I never thought that he was as bad as they were saying." It's not a ~lowing review - yet. But tt's a lot better than a story Archie told not long after Hurricane Katrina passed by the family's New Orleans home, only to have burglars strike a few days later.

WASHINGTON - Jolted by global recession fears, the Federal Reserve slashed interest rates Tuesday, and President Bush and leaders of Congress joined in a rare show of cooperation in promising urgent action to pump up the economy with upwards of $150 billion in tall cuts and government spending. Market meltdowns overnight around the globe and growing anxiety at home stirred lawmakers and the administration toward swift action, possibly within a few weeks. Wall Street · plummeted as the day" began, following Asian stocks, then warily eased its sell-off after the Fed ordered ·the biggest cut on record in a · key interest rate. The Dow Jones industrials, down 465 points at one point, closed the day off 128. · The Fed, announcing its action after an emergency video conference Monday night, indicated further rate reductions . were likely, aimed at encouraging peo-· pie and companies to start spending again. "The urgency that we feel at home is now even more urgent as we see the impa€t of our markets pn others," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said after both Democratic and Republican lawmakers met with Bush at the White House. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said the goal was to get a deal through ConFss and on Bush's desk within roughly three weeks - lightning speed compared with the usual snail's pace on Capitol Hill. His Republican counterpart, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, agreed the aim was action in' the next few weeks and said, 'That, by the standards in Congress, is pretty fast." . Bush expressed confidence that he and 'the Democratic-led Con~ress could put aside bitter differences that have marked his presidency. "I believe we .can find common ground to get something done that's big enough, effective enough so that an economy that is inherently strong gets a boost - to make sure that this uncertainty doesn't translate into more economic woes for our walters and small business people," Bush said in the Cabinet Room. Later, announcing the creation of a panel to educate people about their finances, Bush said he! thought there rising concerns that weakness in the world's largest economy was spreading · worldwide.

The reduction· in the federal funds rate from 4.25 percent to 3.5 percent marked the biggest reduc. tion in this target rate for overnight loans on records going back to 1990. It marked the first time the Fed has' changed rates between meetings since 2001, when the central bank was battling the combined impacts of a recession and the terrorist attacks. Commercial · banks responded by announcing similar cut's of three-quarter of a percent in their prime lending rate, the benchmark for millions of business and consumer loans. The action will mean the prime lending· rate will drop from 7.25 percent down to 6.50 percent.

WASHINGTON - Jolted by global recession fears, the Federal Reserve slashed interest rates Tuesday, and President Bush and leaders of Congress joined in a rare show of cooperation in promising urgent action to pump up the economy with upwards of $150 billion in tall cuts and government spending. Market meltdowns overnight around the globe and growing anxiety at home stirred lawmakers and the administration toward swift action, possibly within a few weeks. Wall Street · plummeted as the day" began, following Asian stocks, then warily eased its sell-off after the Fed ordered ·the biggest cut on record in a · key interest rate. The Dow Jones industrials, down 465 points at one point, closed the day off 128. · The Fed, announcing its action after an emergency video conference Monday night, indicated further rate reductions . were likely, aimed at encouraging peo-· pie and companies to start spending again. "The urgency that we feel at home is now even more urgent as we see the impa€t of our markets pn others," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said after both Democratic and Republican lawmakers met with Bush at the White House. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said the goal was to get a deal through ConFss and on Bush's desk within roughly three weeks - lightning speed compared with the usual snail's pace on Capitol Hill. His Republican counterpart, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, agreed the aim was action in' the next few weeks and said, 'That, by the standards in Congress, is pretty fast." . Bush expressed confidence that he and 'the Democratic-led Con~ress could put aside bitter differences that have marked his presidency. "I believe we .can find common ground to get something done that's big enough, effective enough so that an economy that is inherently strong gets a boost - to make sure that this uncertainty doesn't translate into more economic woes for our walters and small business people," Bush said in the Cabinet Room. Later, announcing the creation of a panel to educate people about their finances, Bush said he! thought there rising concerns that weakness in the world's largest economy was spreading · worldwide. "The world's stock markets are in meltdown , so the Fed came in with an intermeeting move to try to stop the panic," said Christopher Rupkey, semor economist ~t Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi. The reduction· in the federal funds rate from 4.25 percent to 3.5 percent marked the biggest reduc. tion in this target rate for overnight loans on records going back to 1990. It marked the first time the Fed has' changed rates between meetings since 2001, when the central bank was battling the combined impacts of a recession and the terrorist attacks. Commercial · banks responded by announcing similar cut's of three-quarter of a percent in their prime lending rate, the benchmark for millions of business and consumer loans. The action will mean the prime lending· rate will drop from 7.25 percent down to 6.50 percent.

Mary Jo Hudson said the volatility of the mt;dical malpractice market, especially soaring insurance premiums, .was beginning to level off. But she was hesitant to tie that development to laws passed ill 2003 by Republican Gov. Bob Taft and lawmakers after a partisan battle. "It' s too early to say," Hudson said. "You can't discount that it's a factor, but we really think it's too soon to tell." She was responding to a report released by her agency on Thesday that says the number of medical malpractice claims in Ohio dropped 20 percent from 2005 to 2006. .

There was no obvious indication that the Australianborn Ledger had committed suicide, NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said. Ledger had an appoint· ment for a massage at the SoHo apartment that is believed to be the home of the "Brokeback Mountain" actor, Browne said. The massage therapist and a housekeeper found his naked body at about 3:30 p.m. They tried to revive him, but he was already dead . . "I had such great hope for him," said Mel Gibson, who . played Ledger's vengeful father in "The Patriot," in a statement. "He was just taking off and to lose his life at such a young age is a tragic loss." Outside the Manhattan building Ofl an upscale st(eet, paparazzi and gawkers gathered, and several police officers put up barricades to control the crowd of about 300. Onlookers craned their necks as offi~ cers brought out a black bodybag on a gurney, took il across lhe side·walk and put it into a medical exammer's office van. As the door opened, bystanders snapped pictures with camera phones, rolled video and said, "He's coming out!"

W.hile not a marquee movie star, Ledger was an award-winning actor who chose his roles carefully rather than cashing in on big-money parts. He was nominated for an Oscar for his performance as a gay cowboy in "Brokeback Mountain." During filming, he met Michelle Williams, who played his wife in the film.

This is an extremely difficult time for his loved ones and we are asking the media to please respect the family's privacr. and avoid speculation unul the facts are known." In the Australian city of Perth, where Ledger was born and raised, his father called the actor's death "tragic, untimely and accidental." "He was (a) down-toearth, generous, kind-hearted, life-loving, unselfish individual, extremely inspirational to many," Ktm Ledger said, reading from a prepared statement. "Heath has touched so many people on so many different levels during his short life." Ledger eschewed . urns to cover stock market losses. The report released Tuesday . by the Ohio Department of Insurance says there were 4,006 medical malpractice claims reported for 2006, compared with 5,051 for 2005. Hudson said it's possible changes in the law reducing the amount of time in which injured patienls can file a lawsuit may be behind the drop. Other changes in the 2003 law included caps on the amount of money injured patients could receive for pain-and-suffering, and attempts to restrict so-called frivolous lawsuits against doctors. The report found that the size of claims rose during the same period. In 2006, the average claim in which a payment was made was $288,080, up from $269,374 in 2005. The report also found that in both years four out of every five claims ended without a payment to the person makmg the claim. The new report is the first · chance to measure trends over time.

His 2006 film "Candy" now seems destined to have an especially haunting quality: In a particularly realistic performance, Ledger played a poet wrestling with a heroin addiction along with his girlfriend, played by Abbie Cornish. But Ledger's most recent choices . were arguably the boldest yet: He costarred in "I'm Not There," in which he played one of the many incarnations of Bob Dylan - as did Cate Blanchett whose performance in that film earned an Oscar nomination 1\lesday for best supporting actress. And in' what may be his final finished performance, Ledger proved that he wouldn't be intimidated by taking on a character as iconic as Jack Nicholson·~ Joker. Ledger's version of the "Batman" villain, glimpsed in early teaser trailers, made it clear that his Joker would be more depraved and dark. . Curiosity about Ledger's final performance will likely stoke further interest in the summer blockbuster. "Dark Knight" director Christopher Nolan said this 113 E.

Mary Jo Hudson said the volatility of the mt;dical malpractice market, especially soaring insurance premiums, .was beginning to level off. But she was hesitant to tie that development to laws passed ill 2003 by Republican Gov. Bob Taft and lawmakers after a partisan battle. "It' s too early to say," Hudson said. "You can't discount that it's a factor, but we really think it's too soon to tell." She was responding to a report released by her agency on Thesday that says the number of medical malpractice claims in Ohio dropped 20 percent from 2005 to 2006. .

There was no obvious indication that the Australianborn Ledger had committed suicide, NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said. Ledger had an appoint· ment for a massage at the SoHo apartment that is believed to be the home of the "Brokeback Mountain" actor, Browne said. The massage therapist and a housekeeper found his naked body at about 3:30 p.m. They tried to revive him, but he was already dead . . "I had such great hope for him," said Mel Gibson, who . played Ledger's vengeful father in "The Patriot," in a statement. "He was just taking off and to lose his life at such a young age is a tragic loss." Outside the Manhattan building Ofl an upscale st(eet, paparazzi and gawkers gathered, and several police officers put up barricades to control the crowd of about 300. Onlookers craned their necks as offi~ cers brought out a black bodybag on a gurney, took il across lhe side·walk and put it into a medical exammer's office van. As the door opened, bystanders snapped pictures with camera phones, rolled video and said, "He's coming out!" An autopsy was planhed for Wednesda~, medical examiner~s off1ce spokes-. woman Ellen Borakove said. W.hile not a marquee movie star, Ledger was an award-winning actor who chose his roles carefully rather than cashing in on big-money parts. He was nominated for an Oscar for his performance as a gay cowboy in "Brokeback Mountain." During filming, he met Michelle Williams, who played his wife in the film.

Hudson said it's possible changes in the law reducing the amount of time in which injured patienls can file a lawsuit may be behind the drop. Other changes in the 2003 law included caps on the amount of money injured patients could receive for pain-and-suffering, and attempts to restrict so-called frivolous lawsuits against doctors. The report found that the size of claims rose during the same period. In 2006, the average claim in which a payment was made was $288,080, up from $269,374 in 2005.

Federal prosecutors were expected to ask a judge Tuesday or Wednesday to throw out the convictions of 15 men imprisoned in the same tainted investigation, including the case against a man servi ng 30 years in prison. U.S. District Judge John Adams told attorneys Tuesday that he hopes to have the men out of prison by Feb.

To jump-raise hearts immediately requires at least four·card support. You ha\18 lost three tricks and are faced with a diamond loser. You have only nine win~rs: six hearts, one diamond and two clubs. The sole chance for a 10th trick is to establish a low club. But if the missing clubs are dividing 4·2, you will need to ruff clubs twice In your hand, 1hen 1o re1Urn lo dummy 1o cash 1hat new winner. This requires three dummy entries, which must be one in clubs and two in hearts. So, after winning with your diamond ace, 1ake lhe heart aca. Then lead a club 1o dummy's king, cash the club ace, and rufi" a club high in your hand. Play a trump to dummy and ruff another club high. Finally, lead a1rump 10 dummy a~ lriumphanlly cash lhe 131h club, discard· ing 1he diamond jack from your hand.

The sole chance for a 10th trick is to establish a low club.

Before Mike Holmgren decided to reiUrn for one and only one - more sea· son coaching the Seahawks, he signed a new pact. Not with Seattle ... with his wife . "She's making me fill out this litt'e contract: ' Upon completion of your last game : The laundry ; the garbage; the whole deal,"' Holmgren joked Tuesday when asked what he may feel like after he fulfill s the final season of a two-year contract.

Still, the 59-year-old former quarterback at Southern California was so uneasy .about that choice Tuesday morning he ca)led his wife at her job as a nurse at a clinic in downtown Seattle, just to be sure. · "Look it, it will probably be an emotional time," he said of a 2008 season that will become a farewell tour he doesn't want.

Holmgren said yes to the another contract extension beyond 2008 , but the Seahawks have never approached him about it. Tuesday, Holmgren said his comments about an extension were overblown and "misinterpreted," that the decision was always aboui working one more season or retiring. . The Seahawks have a likely heir to Holmgren in place in Jim Mora. Soon after Mora was fired as heact' coach of the Atlanta Falcbns on New Year's Day, 2007, Holmgren added him to the· staff as the assistant head coach and defensive backs coach.

He puts so much pressure on himself to contribute offensively. It seemed like the weight of the world was on his shoulders. He's felt like he 's let a lot of people down (by not scoring more). We kept him on the power play because we knew this day would come ."

Then again, maybe it's all a mse. The conspiracy theorists were out in full force Tuesday on WFAN, the allsports radio station 'n New York, suggesting that the 18-0 Patriots put Brady in a soft .cast merely to confuse the Giants. In fact. there are pictures aplenty on the Web, showing Brady squiring Bundchen from her West Village pad to an East Village hotspot minus the boot. Brady isn't addressing whether anything is seriously ·amiss. The two-time Super Bowl MVP simply said he was "a little nicked up" and thaf"l' d have to be on a stretcher .to miss this one." David Letterman, meanwhile; offered his own plan. The "Late Show" host suggested the Giants might consider slipping last year's Super Bowl MVP, Peyton Manning, into the No. l 0 jersey worn by his brother, Eli. Eli may not have the cachet of his olct'er brother, but at least he did not make the same mistake that Brett Favre did, throwing an interception that cost the Green Bay Packers a chance to beat the Giants in overtime last weekend. After thai victory in the NFC championship game, the brothers talked on the phone. "He said I'm past the point where he can give me advice anymore," Eli said. "He wants it the other way now. 1 don't know if I agree with him, but it's great to hear it from him. I'll take all the advice 1 can get." He's sure to hear plenty. Over the years, the break between the league conference games and the Super Bowl has varied between one week and two weeks.

SPRINGS Winter weather has been keeping the Meigs County Highway Department busy and stocked with salt and cinders to treat over 260 miles of road. C.T. Chapman; superin- . tendent of the Meigs County Highway Department, said since December his department has used 2,440 tons of cinder (fly ash) and 424 tons of salt to . treat Meigs County's roads. He guessed these totals were "normal" and comparable to last year's totals. . VVhen the roads get bad there are around 30 employees on staff, many who hit the highways to keep traveling as safe as possible. ,On a busy, snowy day, the department's eight trucks are out on the roads with two spare trucks waiting at the garage if needed. One of the toughest areas of the county to treat i$ the west end due to the time it takes tp get there and the distance from the department's winter supplies. All of those supplies, including salt and cinders, are kept at the garage on Fairgrounds Road. Chapman said he recently ordered~ more salt from a distributor in Portsmouth and at this point feels the county should be well stQ~:ked. Yesterday the National Weather Service out of Charleston, W.Va. was predicting occasional snow showers for the Ohio River Valley today through Monday. Whether or not the snow accumulates remains to be seen, but if it does, the highway department is ready. ·Probe yields three arrests · The Gallia-Meigs Post of ' Three people were taken the State Highway Patrol, into custody as· a result of Gallipolis City Police and the this actiori, Martin said.
