BY KIM GAMEL ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER BAGHDAD Car bombs and gunmen struck new U.S. .allies, police and civilians Sunday in northern Iraq, killing as many as 53 people. The spate of attacks came even as the Amencan military released a captured diarv and another document they say· show al-Qaida in Iraq cracking under a Sunni revolt against .its brutal tactics. . The violence coincided with a visit by Defense Secretary Robert Gate's to Baghdad, where he warned that hard choices face Iraq's political leaders on how to stabilize the country despite promising new signs. of progress toward reconcthation. The deadliest bombing on ·Sunday was near Balad, 50 miles north of Baghdad, against a checkpoint manned jointly by Iraqi police and members of an awakening group. . . Iraqi police said a suicide truck bomber targeted a checkpoint manned by U.S.-allied fighters and Iraqi police at the entrance of a bridge in the district of Yathrib on the outskirts of Balad. Security forces opened fire on the driver, but he managed to detonate his payload, devastating a . nearby car market and other stores .. Police in the joint coordination center of the surrounding Salahuddin province and .. hospital officials said ~4 people were killed and 37 othen were wounded. Capt. Kadim Hamid said many residents in the predominantly Sunni area had removed victims directly from the site because they feared going to the hospital in Salad's mostly Shiite center. The U.S. military put the casualty toll at 23 killed, 25 wounded and said a car bomb exploded near an Iraqi checkpoint in a market . in· Balad, but it did not conftrm it was a suicide attack. U.S. and Iraqi forces had secured the area and the wounded had been evacuated to hospitals, according to a statement. It was one of the worst bombings this year amid a recent lull in violence and underscored U.S. warnings that al-Qaida in Iraq remains a serious threat despite military offensives that have severely curtailed its operations. The explosion came hours after suspected al-Qaidalinked insurgents stormed two villages near the Syrian border but were repelled by U.S.-allied fighters and Iraqi security forces in clashes that left at least 22 people dead. Sheik Fawaz ai-Jarba, the head .of the Mosul anti-aiQaida group, and pther officials said the 22 killed included I 0 militants and six members of the socalled awakening group in the area, as well as four women and two children.

Insurgents also attacked a group of civilians elsewhere in the northern Ninevah province on Sunday, killing two men and one child and wounding two other men, . two women and two infants, according to the military. Iraqi police also said four civilians were killed Sunday when a tanker truck laden with explosives blew up near an Iraqi army checkpoint on Mosul's sputhern outskirts. · Iraqi Prime Minister Noun al-Maliki has promised a "decisive 'battle" against the terror network in Mosul but given no start date. The U.S. 'military has warned it will not be a swift strike, but rather a grinding campaign that wi)l require more ftrepower. An al-Qaida front group for northern Iraq warned last week in an Internet statement that · it was launching its own campaign in Mosul and surrounding areas. In all, 70 people were reported killed or found dead by police on Sunday, one of the highest nationwide death tolls in recent months. That figure included three policemen who perished in a suicide car bombing at a checkpoint in the Anbar city of Fallujah and 10 bullet-riddled bodies showing .signs of torture. Rear Adm. Gregory Smith, a U.S. military spokesman, said the documents released Sunday offered proof that ai-Qaida in Iraq had been severe! y disrupted by the so-called awakening movement and changing U.S. tactics, but he stressed the terror network was by no means defeated. The military said the two documents were discovered last year by American troops in November as the Sunni movement that began in Anbar province was spreading to Baghdad and surrounding areas. One was a 39-page memo written by a mid- to high-· level al-Qaida official with knowledge of the group's operations in Iraq's western Anbar province; the other a 16-page diary written by ,· another group leader north of Baghdad. The documents tell "narrow but compelling· stories of the challenges al-Qaida in Iraq is facing," Smith told reporters in Baghdad. "This does not signal the end of a)-Qaida in Iraq, but it is a contemporary account of the challenges posed to terrorists from the people of Iraq." He said the documents are believed to be authentic because they contain details that oitly . ai-Qaida in Iraq leaders could know about battlefteld movements and tactics. The U.S. military gave reporters partially redacted copies of the full diary but only four pages of the Anbar document, citing security reasons. Both were provided in the original Arabic and an English translation. · In the Anbar document, the author acknowledges a growing weariness among Sunni citizens of militants' presenci! and the U.S.-led crackdowns against them. He also expresses frustration with foreign fighters too eager to participate in suicide missions rather than continuing to fight. ·, "The Islamic State of Iraq . is faced with an extraordinary crisis, especially .in alAnbar," the author wrote, referring to an umbrella ·' harms us, we're going to harm States," Chavez said Sunday. you," Chavez said during his "The outlaws of Exxon weekly radio and television Mobil will never again rob · · the Program' "Hello, Prest'dent." us, " Cha· vez sm'd, accusmg "Do you know how?

The military said the memo was believed to have been written last summer and was ihtended for the author's superiors. The diary, seized by U.S. troops south of Balad, was written in autumn 2007 by Abu Tariq, who refers to himself as sector leader for al-Qaida in Iraq. Tariq wrote that he was once in charge of 600 fighters, but only 20 were left "after the tribes changed course" - a reference to how many Sunni tribesmen have switched sides to fight """'*' '--·koop--lol! • FREE M TtcMicll •10HNJiladdteueaMthWebmailt • CUBtom Stalt Page • news, weMI'Ier & mota!

About 200 Marine reservists had prepared to conduct the exercise at a vacant building Friday when city officials ·put a · stop to it. Residents had complained about previous exercises, city officials·said.

The Sunni tribes' alliance with u.s. forces is credited with helping reduce violence across the country, . along with an influx of some 30,000 American troops. A security crack- ' down that began in Baghdad and surrounding areas a year ago also has driven the militants north. Mosul, 225 miles northwest of Baghdad and the capital of Ninevah province, 'is believed to be the last major urban stronghold for al-Qaida in Iraq. "The diary shows thai alQaida regards these volunteer citizen groups as a ~rave threat, and that terrorIsts are targeting them," Smith said. In recent months, attacks on the Sunni volunteers . have spiked while overall violence has steadily · declined, he noted, adding that at least 77,500 volunteers have partnered with U.S. and Iraqi troops countrywide. BY KIM GAMEL ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER BAGHDAD Car bombs and gunmen struck new U.S. .allies, police and civilians Sunday in northern Iraq, killing as many as 53 people. The spate of attacks came even as the Amencan military released a captured diarv and another document they say· show al-Qaida in Iraq cracking under a Sunni revolt against .its brutal tactics. . The violence coincided with a visit by Defense Secretary Robert Gate's to Baghdad, where he warned that hard choices face Iraq's political leaders on how to stabilize the country despite promising new signs. of progress toward reconcthation. The deadliest bombing on ·Sunday was near Balad, 50 miles north of Baghdad, against a checkpoint manned jointly by Iraqi police and members of an awakening group. . . Iraqi police said a suicide truck bomber targeted a checkpoint manned by U.S.-allied fighters and Iraqi police at the entrance of a bridge in the district of Yathrib on the outskirts of Balad. Security forces opened fire on the driver, but he managed to detonate his payload, devastating a . nearby car market and other stores .. Police in the joint coordination center of the surrounding Salahuddin province and .. hospital officials said ~4 people were killed and 37 othen were wounded. Capt. Kadim Hamid said many residents in the predominantly Sunni area had removed victims directly from the site because they feared going to the hospital in Salad's mostly Shiite center. The U.S. military put the casualty toll at 23 killed, 25 wounded and said a car bomb exploded near an Iraqi checkpoint in a market . in· Balad, but it did not conftrm it was a suicide attack. U.S. and Iraqi forces had secured the area and the wounded had been evacuated to hospitals, according to a statement. It was one of the worst bombings this year amid a recent lull in violence and underscored U.S. warnings that al-Qaida in Iraq remains a serious threat despite military offensives that have severely curtailed its operations. The explosion came hours after suspected al-Qaidalinked insurgents stormed two villages near the Syrian border but were repelled by U.S.-allied fighters and Iraqi security forces in clashes that left at least 22 people dead. Sheik Fawaz ai-Jarba, the head .of the Mosul anti-aiQaida group, and pther officials said the 22 killed included I 0 militants and six members of the socalled awakening group in the area, as well as four women and two children.

Insurgents also attacked a group of civilians elsewhere in the northern Ninevah province on Sunday, killing two men and one child and wounding two other men, . two women and two infants, according to the military. Iraqi police also said four civilians were killed Sunday when a tanker truck laden with explosives blew up near an Iraqi army checkpoint on Mosul's sputhern outskirts. · Iraqi Prime Minister Noun al-Maliki has promised a "decisive 'battle" against the terror network in Mosul but given no start date. The U.S. 'military has warned it will not be a swift strike, but rather a grinding campaign that wi)l require more ftrepower. An al-Qaida front group for northern Iraq warned last week in an Internet statement that · it was launching its own campaign in Mosul and surrounding areas. In all, 70 people were reported killed or found dead by police on Sunday, one of the highest nationwide death tolls in recent months. That figure included three policemen who perished in a suicide car bombing at a checkpoint in the Anbar city of Fallujah and 10 bullet-riddled bodies showing .signs of torture. Rear Adm. Gregory Smith, a U.S. military spokesman, said the documents released Sunday offered proof that ai-Qaida in Iraq had been severe! y disrupted by the so-called awakening movement and changing U.S. tactics, but he stressed the terror network was by no means defeated. The military said the two documents were discovered last year by American troops in November as the Sunni movement that began in Anbar province was spreading to Baghdad and surrounding areas. One was a 39-page memo written by a mid- to high-· level al-Qaida official with knowledge of the group's operations in Iraq's western Anbar province; the other a 16-page diary written by ,· another group leader north of Baghdad. The documents tell "narrow but compelling· stories of the challenges al-Qaida in Iraq is facing," Smith told reporters in Baghdad. "This does not signal the end of a)-Qaida in Iraq, but it is a contemporary account of the challenges posed to terrorists from the people of Iraq." He said the documents are believed to be authentic because they contain details that oitly . ai-Qaida in Iraq leaders could know about battlefteld movements and tactics. The U.S. military gave reporters partially redacted copies of the full diary but only four pages of the Anbar document, citing security reasons. Both were provided in the original Arabic and an English translation. · In the Anbar document, the author acknowledges a growing weariness among Sunni citizens of militants' presenci! and the U.S.-led crackdowns against them. He also expresses frustration with foreign fighters too eager to participate in suicide missions rather than continuing to fight. ·, "The Islamic State of Iraq . is faced with an extraordinary crisis, especially .in alAnbar," the author wrote, referring to an umbrella ·' harms us, we're going to harm States," Chavez said Sunday. you," Chavez said during his "The outlaws of Exxon weekly radio and television Mobil will never again rob · · the Program' "Hello, Prest'dent." us, " Cha· vez sm'd, accusmg "Do you know how?

It said U.S.-led forces had learned from their mistakes and impmved security had made it harder. to transport weapons and suicide belts and forced foreign ftghters to go underground because of their distinctive dialect~. The military said the memo was believed to have been written last summer and was ihtended for the author's superiors. The diary, seized by U.S. troops south of Balad, was written in autumn 2007 by Abu Tariq, who refers to himself as sector leader for al-Qaida in Iraq. Tariq wrote that he was once in charge of 600 fighters, but only 20 were left "after the tribes changed course" - a reference to how many Sunni tribesmen have switched sides to fight """'*' '--·koop--lol! • FREE M TtcMicll •10HNJiladdteueaMthWebmailt • CUBtom Stalt Page • news, weMI'Ier & mota!

By comparison. the children of single parents or broken families do worse at school and in their career (sic). Marriage, or the lack of it, is the best single predictor of poverty, greater even than race or unemployment." · So wrote the · editor-in-chief of U.S. News· & World Report in the Oct S, 2007 issue, who concluded by encouraging Washington politicians to promote legislation that would nurture the American family. "Public policy should not contribute to an a Ia carte menu of sex, love, and childbearing; it should emphasize the benefits for all from the . package deal of marriage." Unwittingly, in 1969 Congress implemented what became known as the "marriage penalty tax." Thus men and women who wen~ cohabiting paid a lesser share of the tax burden than married . couples. Thus more and more played house, and teenagers observed what was happening and decided they would have furi also. Often the male left the scene and the female was faced with a difficult choice, and the child suffered the most. Thus a two-generation ·cyCle began. Marriage is the only human institution that uniquely interweaves our private needs with the public need for commitment to the next generation.The tapestry of a society will be ·only as strong as the patter!! of its threads. Marriage must be celebrated and supported by communi~ ties, families and individuals who depend upon it. . People are smart. But why would choices be made that would diminish the next generation, in numbers, in molded character, and in values? Our need for the social institution of marriage is most. visible when it unravels. Bob Weedy · Something went by in a blur on the road to Super Tuesday. The National Journal ranked Sen. Barack Obama the No. I liberal j).S. senator of 2007. Sen. Hillary Clinton came in somewhat less left-wing at No. 16. Horrors. According to his press notices, Obama isn't supposed to be any kind of a liberal at all - let alone "Number One" but rather the great non-partisan hand-holder and country remaker. As in: "We (have to) decide to join hands and remake this country." (My response: Why? It's pretty well-made already.) Turns out he's not so non-partisan after all, at least not accord: ing 'to the, well, non-partisan criteria first devised by the Nationa! Journal back in 1981. Not that you have to be a political scientist to figure this out. Just take a look at Obama' s endorsements from MoveOn.Org, Ted Kennedy and more than 80 lawyers representing detainees at Guantanamo Bay. Or his positions on illegal aliens, raising taxes on "the wealthy" or talking Muslim world leaders into taking our side in the "war on terror" (despite the fact that some of them are busy abetting or even waging that same war against us). Once upon a time, such positions could only be staked out on the far left. With Obama occupyin·g them, however, they Diana .West • become the dreamy landscape of non-partisan epiphany. As the Washington Post campai~n blog The Trail noted: "(Hts) is a platform that, delivered by others, mi~ht well be v1ewed as hewmg to longstanding, traditiona,I liberal notions. Yet Obama wraps it into his message of national transformation, making it . sound part of a whole new package, and by the time he gets to his trademark crescendo conclusion, every person in the arena is standing ·... n Guess it's not easy to stand and think "liberal" at the same time - especially with trademark crescendos dancing .in your head. The disconnect has served the Obama camp well, allowing it to run far on thin and gaseous vapors of non-partisan "hope" and "change." That's why nobody al Obama headquarters wa.s enthused by Obama's solid ideological victory as Top Senate Liberal for his votes as a leading anti-war senator supporting the withdrawal of American troops from Iraq, amnesty for illegal aliens, and a host of lib- era! initiatives on health care, education, energy and the budget. Such a record sounds downright McGovemesque. But don't mention that out loud. After all, Barack Obama is a presidential candidate who likes to say, "There's not a liberal America and a conservative America - there is the United States of America." Whai if it got oui that there is also a very liberal Barack Obama'l We don't know the answer to that, because it is "hope" and "change," not liberalism, that Obama is supposed to stand for.' Maybe that's why, as Obama spokeswoman Jen Psaki told the National Journal, Obama is "the only candidate who's shown the ability to appeal to · Republicans and the ability to appeal to independents." The fact is, being Top Senate Liberal isn't part of the official'narrative of the Obama movement. And the campaign seems to want to keep it that way. Dismissing the National Journal senate Obama rankings, spokesman Bill Burton told ABC: "The tendency of Washington to apply a mis, leading label to every person and idea is just one of the many things we need to change about how things operate inside the Beltway." Here's hoping we never find out how an Obama administration would "change" freedom of labeling. But misleading? On the . . Today is Monday, Feb. II, the 42nd day of 2008.

(The Catholic Church late( accepted that the visions were of the Virgin Mary; Bernadette, who died in 1879 at age 3S, was canonized in 1933.) On thi s date: In 1812, Massachusetts Gov.

Paul Bourget, French author ( 1852-193S). contrary, "liberal" aptly describes Obama's point of view (not to mention. Mrs. Clinton's). But notice the difference between· Republicims and Democrats when it comes to political lallels. Republicans struggle over who will wear the "conservative" mantle, while Democrats strike· a "Who, me?" pose when it comes to carrying the "liberal" flag. The National Journal put it this way: both Democratic presidential contenders "have empba· sized their liberal policy JX!Sitions. But neither has embraced the I iberal label the way Republican presi· dential' candidates have proudly stamped them· selves conservatives." This goes, of course, for John McCain, whose·claims to conservatism are uncon· vincing to many conserva· tives. Incidentally, the· National Journal doesn't help much in this regard. Turns out McCain missed too many votes in 2007 to score a ranking. I'd say that's lucky for him, as he grabs at that conservative mantle. He might have given Sens. Clinton and Obama some pretty stiff . competition. (Diana West is a columnist for The Wa.~h\ngton Times.

It was the first film to earn $100 million at the box office. In 200S, one of Scheider's most famous lines in the movie - "You're gonna need a bigger boat" - was voted No. 3S on the . American Film Institute's list of best quotes from U.S. movies. · That year, some 30 years after "Jaws" premiered, hundreds of movie buffs flocked to Martha's Vineyard, off the southeastern coast of Massachusetts, to celebrate the great white shark that terrified millions of movie- goers. .

But so far, the cold hasn't lasted long enough to make it safe for ice fishing on Lake Erie. · Fishing guides say they're hopeful, but unsure whether there will be enough ice this winter. "Normally, we consider January ice-making month, not this year," said John Hageman, owner of Prime Time Ice Charters in Put-inBay, a small town on South Bass Island north of Sandusky. Ice ftshing season on Lake Erie normally runs from the second week of January to early March. But it's no sure thing. · In some years, there's no ice at all. Forecasters say temperatures need to drop below 32 degrees for at least two weeks for the lake to freeze. Tempera(ures rose to 6S degrees and fell below zero during January, making it tough on anglers hoping to get out on the ice. Ice did take shape briefly about two weeks ago near South Bass Island, but it wasn't thick enough for safe fishing, said Pat Chrysler, a guide on the island. The ice was less than an inch thick. It needs to be at least six inches thick. Chrysler said. Another problem is that high winds and big waves took out some ice that had formed. Guides normally don't count on picking up much money from ice fishing because the season varies so much. • But for many businesses, it's can be a big bonus. "If the ice comes in, it picks up considerably," said Don Thwaite; co-owner of Skyway Restaurant on South Bass Island. 'That's a big part of the winter economy." Hageman said he can make up to $10,000 in a typical season. "It's very important for a lo(of people over here- not just the ones doing it for hire," he said. "Lots of residents are all about it. It's an obsession really. And it's too bad when we don't get it." Hundreds of people flock to the island durin~ the winter when there is tee on the lake, said Maggie Beckford, executive director of the Putin-Bay Chamber of Commerce. , Yet, it's hard to say how much money ice fishing brings in because the seasons are inconsistent, she said. The internet has become a major concern, according to Story. "It's noi easy keeping up with the technology, but we have had some important victories," he said. Story reported that his office had worked successfully with local law enforcement and BCI&I on child porn cases. ."We have had many successes, and I am proud of our record, and' I thank all the officers who have worked so hard with us," Story said.

By comparison. the children of single parents or broken families do worse at school and in their career (sic). Marriage, or the lack of it, is the best single predictor of poverty, greater even than race or unemployment." · So wrote the · editor-in-chief of U.S. News· & World Report in the Oct S, 2007 issue, who concluded by encouraging Washington politicians to promote legislation that would nurture the American family. "Public policy should not contribute to an a Ia carte menu of sex, love, and childbearing; it should emphasize the benefits for all from the . package deal of marriage." Unwittingly, in 1969 Congress implemented what became known as the "marriage penalty tax." Thus men and women who wen~ cohabiting paid a lesser share of the tax burden than married . couples. Thus more and more played house, and teenagers observed what was happening and decided they would have furi also.

But why would choices be made that would diminish the next generation, in numbers, in molded character, and in values? Our need for the social institution of marriage is most. visible when it unravels. Bob Weedy · Something went by in a blur on the road to Super Tuesday. The National Journal ranked Sen. Barack Obama the No. I liberal j).S. senator of 2007. Sen. Hillary Clinton came in somewhat less left-wing at No. 16. Horrors. According to his press notices, Obama isn't supposed to be any kind of a liberal at all - let alone "Number One" but rather the great non-partisan hand-holder and country remaker. As in: "We (have to) decide to join hands and remake this country." (My response: Why? It's pretty well-made already.) Turns out he's not so non-partisan after all, at least not accord: ing 'to the, well, non-partisan criteria first devised by the Nationa! Journal back in 1981. Not that you have to be a political scientist to figure this out. Just take a look at Obama' s endorsements from MoveOn.Org, Ted Kennedy and more than 80 lawyers representing detainees at Guantanamo Bay. Or his positions on illegal aliens, raising taxes on "the wealthy" or talking Muslim world leaders into taking our side in the "war on terror" (despite the fact that some of them are busy abetting or even waging that same war against us). Once upon a time, such positions could only be staked out on the far left. With Obama occupyin·g them, however, they Diana .West • become the dreamy landscape of non-partisan epiphany. As the Washington Post campai~n blog The Trail noted: "(Hts) is a platform that, delivered by others, mi~ht well be v1ewed as hewmg to longstanding, traditiona,I liberal notions. Yet Obama wraps it into his message of national transformation, making it . sound part of a whole new package, and by the time he gets to his trademark crescendo conclusion, every person in the arena is standing ·... n Guess it's not easy to stand and think "liberal" at the same time - especially with trademark crescendos dancing .in your head. The disconnect has served the Obama camp well, allowing it to run far on thin and gaseous vapors of non-partisan "hope" and "change." That's why nobody al Obama headquarters wa.s enthused by Obama's solid ideological victory as Top Senate Liberal for his votes as a leading anti-war senator supporting the withdrawal of American troops from Iraq, amnesty for illegal aliens, and a host of lib- era! initiatives on health care, education, energy and the budget. Such a record sounds downright McGovemesque. But don't mention that out loud. After all, Barack Obama is a presidential candidate who likes to say, "There's not a liberal America and a conservative America - there is the United States of America." Whai if it got oui that there is also a very liberal Barack Obama'l We don't know the answer to that, because it is "hope" and "change," not liberalism, that Obama is supposed to stand for.' Maybe that's why, as Obama spokeswoman Jen Psaki told the National Journal, Obama is "the only candidate who's shown the ability to appeal to · Republicans and the ability to appeal to independents." The fact is, being Top Senate Liberal isn't part of the official'narrative of the Obama movement. And the campaign seems to want to keep it that way. Dismissing the National Journal senate Obama rankings, spokesman Bill Burton told ABC: "The tendency of Washington to apply a mis, leading label to every person and idea is just one of the many things we need to change about how things operate inside the Beltway." Here's hoping we never find out how an Obama administration would "change" freedom of labeling. But misleading? On the . . Today is Monday, Feb. II, the 42nd day of 2008.

(The Catholic Church late( accepted that the visions were of the Virgin Mary; Bernadette, who died in 1879 at age 3S, was canonized in 1933.) On thi s date: In 1812, Massachusetts Gov.

Paul Bourget, French author ( 1852-193S). contrary, "liberal" aptly describes Obama's point of view (not to mention. Mrs. Clinton's). But notice the difference between· Republicims and Democrats when it comes to political lallels. Republicans struggle over who will wear the "conservative" mantle, while Democrats strike· a "Who, me?" pose when it comes to carrying the "liberal" flag. The National Journal put it this way: both Democratic presidential contenders "have empba· sized their liberal policy JX!Sitions. But neither has embraced the I iberal label the way Republican presi· dential' candidates have proudly stamped them· selves conservatives." This goes, of course, for John McCain, whose·claims to conservatism are uncon· vincing to many conserva· tives. Incidentally, the· National Journal doesn't help much in this regard. Turns out McCain missed too many votes in 2007 to score a ranking. I'd say that's lucky for him, as he grabs at that conservative mantle. He might have given Sens. Clinton and Obama some pretty stiff . competition. (Diana West is a columnist for The Wa.~h\ngton Times.

But so far, the cold hasn't lasted long enough to make it safe for ice fishing on Lake Erie. · Fishing guides say they're hopeful, but unsure whether there will be enough ice this winter. "Normally, we consider January ice-making month, not this year," said John Hageman, owner of Prime Time Ice Charters in Put-inBay, a small town on South Bass Island north of Sandusky. Ice ftshing season on Lake Erie normally runs from the second week of January to early March. But it's no sure thing. · In some years, there's no ice at all. Forecasters say temperatures need to drop below 32 degrees for at least two weeks for the lake to freeze. Tempera(ures rose to 6S degrees and fell below zero during January, making it tough on anglers hoping to get out on the ice. Ice did take shape briefly about two weeks ago near South Bass Island, but it wasn't thick enough for safe fishing, said Pat Chrysler, a guide on the island. The ice was less than an inch thick. It needs to be at least six inches thick. Chrysler said. Another problem is that high winds and big waves took out some ice that had formed. Guides normally don't count on picking up much money from ice fishing because the season varies so much. • But for many businesses, it's can be a big bonus. "If the ice comes in, it picks up considerably," said Don Thwaite; co-owner of Skyway Restaurant on South Bass Island. 'That's a big part of the winter economy." Hageman said he can make up to $10,000 in a typical season. "It's very important for a lo(of people over here- not just the ones doing it for hire," he said. "Lots of residents are all about it. It's an obsession really. And it's too bad when we don't get it." Hundreds of people flock to the island durin~ the winter when there is tee on the lake, said Maggie Beckford, executive director of the Putin-Bay Chamber of Commerce. , Yet, it's hard to say how much money ice fishing brings in because the seasons are inconsistent, she said. The internet has become a major concern, according to Story. "It's noi easy keeping up with the technology, but we have had some important victories," he said. Story reported that his office had worked successfully with local law enforcement and BCI&I on child porn cases. ."We have had many successes, and I am proud of our record, and' I thank all the officers who have worked so hard with us," Story said.

Ohio man whose home sparked terror fears·gets 19 years for rape NEWARK (AP) - A ·man whose arrest on sexual assault charges in .July touched off terrorism fears was sentenced to 19 years in prison after pleading guilty on rape charges. Investigators following up on a sexual abuse complaint searched the suburban Columbus home of Stanley Elliott in July and found what they thought were explosives and a labeled jar of castor beans. Ricin is produced from the leftover byproducts when castor ·beans are made into castor oil. It takes only a small amount of ricin to kill. Near by homes were evacuated, the street was ·closed off for several hours and federal agents were brought in to help with another search. But lab tests failed to find any ricin .in samples 1aken from Elliott's Pataskala home, and the suspected explosive material turned out to be model-rocket propellant. · Elliott, 45, was indicted on eight counts of rape, eight counts of -sexual battery, one count of kidnapping and two counts of gross sexual imposition. He pleaded guilty -on Friday to seven of the 19 charges. He was sent~nced .to three .years in prison on each of six rape counts, and ·ro one year for gross sexual imposition. The other charges were dropped. Elliott did not take full responsibility for his actions and should receive at least 20 years in prison, Licking County prosecutor Tracy Van Winkle told Judge Thomas Marcelain on Friday. In a letter to the victim, Elliott partly blamed his actions on taking the sleeping aid Ambien, accordiqg to court records. A plea deal was sought to protect the victim from having to testify, Van Winkle said. ' .

Ohio man whose home sparked terror fears·gets 19 years for rape NEWARK (AP) - A ·man whose arrest on sexual assault charges in .July touched off terrorism fears was sentenced to 19 years in prison after pleading guilty on rape charges. Investigators following up on a sexual abuse complaint searched the suburban Columbus home of Stanley Elliott in July and found what they thought were explosives and a labeled jar of castor beans. Ricin is produced from the leftover byproducts when castor ·beans are made into castor oil. It takes only a small amount of ricin to kill. Near by homes were evacuated, the street was ·closed off for several hours and federal agents were brought in to help with another search. But lab tests failed to find any ricin .in samples 1aken from Elliott's Pataskala home, and the suspected explosive material turned out to be model-rocket propellant. · Elliott, 45, was indicted on eight counts of rape, eight counts of -sexual battery, one count of kidnapping and two counts of gross sexual imposition. He pleaded guilty -on Friday to seven of the 19 charges. He was sent~nced .to three .years in prison on each of six rape counts, and ·ro one year for gross sexual imposition. The other charges were dropped. Elliott did not take full responsibility for his actions and should receive at least 20 years in prison, Licking County prosecutor Tracy Van Winkle told Judge Thomas Marcelain on Friday. In a letter to the victim, Elliott partly blamed his actions on taking the sleeping aid Ambien, accordiqg to court records. A plea deal was sought to protect the victim from having to testify, Van Winkle said. ' .

Instead, it' ll be first-llmer Jim Zorn taking the mantle from Hall of Farner Joe Gibbs. Two weeks after being hired as the offenSi ve coordinator, the former Seattle Seahawks qu arterback was promoted to head coach Saturday night in a surprise ending to a secretive process that tned fans' patience and produced a new favonte every week. The 54-year-old Zorn agreed to a five-year contract. Zorn was the Seahawks' quarterbacks coach for the last seven years, helping develop · Matt Hasselbeck into a Pro Bowl player, but he had never been a coordinator for an NFL team until the Redskins came calling. Now he's making the jump to head coach. Zorn becomes the sixth coach under Snyder, who bought the team in 1999, and he ends a string' of highprofile coaching hires by an owner who had developed a reputation for hiring top names at a top price.

The Minnesota running back joined Faulk as the only rookies to be voted MVP of the Pro Bowl. "Good company," Peterson said. "We didn't get into the playoffs, so for me to come here and do this at the Pro Bowl means a lot. "I came w1th a goal : win the game and be MVP." And the car? "I'm going to keep it," Peterson said, smiling. Owens' 6-yard catch from Tampa Bay's Jeff Garcia provided the winning points, and Owens knew the new ride could have been sitting in his driveway. Then Peterson added a clinching 6-yard touchdown run to steel the wheels.

Meantime, the chairman of a congressional committee said comments attnbuted to one of the pitcher's lawyers could be interpreted as trying to intimidate a federal law enforcement official Clemens gave a five-hour de~ siti o n last week to staff lawyers of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform prior to Wednesday's public hearing. McNamee, former personal trainer to the seven-time Cy Young Award winner, gave a , seven-hour deposition. '\I think there will be a crimmal prosecutiOn after Wednesday, and that means there will be grand jury proceedings and subsequent proceedmgs," sa1d Richard Emery, one of McNamee's attorneys "I don 't see there's any possibility that Brian has any jeopardy. I only see the posstbihty of Clemens getting investigated by Justice, whether or not Congress refers tt." Rusty Hardin, Clemens' lead lawyer, did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment. A message left Sunday ni~ht requesting Jusuce Department comment was not immediately returned McNamee says he injected Clemens with steroids and human growth hormone at least 16 times in 1998, 2000 and 2001, accusations Clemens has repeatedly denied. Both are set to testify Wednesday on Capitol Hill osu fromPageBl "We're improving," he said. "The win at Illinois was a big win for us. To come here against a good Ohio State team and win, that's also a good win." Jordan Crawford contributed seven assists without a turnover and also had six rebounds to go with eight points for the Hoosiers, who won their third in a row and remained in a tie for the conference lead. Kosta Koufos had 18 points and nine rebounds for the Buckeyes, and Jon Diebler added 14 points. Ohio State, in dire need of a marquee win of its own to prop up its NCAA tournament hopes, was its own worst enemy. The Buckeyes had three air-ball 3-pointers down the stretch - all by freshmen - after they had pared a 12-point deficit to six or fewer points in the waning moments.

"They (the Hoosiers) made the plays down the stretch." Jamar Butler, fifth in the Big Ten in scoring (Gordon is first, White second) coming in, was limited to four points on 2-of-8 shooting. He did have six assists, but misfired on all five of his shots behind the arc. The constants for the Hoosiers - who shot only one free throw until the final 30.4 seconds - were their version of Mr. Inside and Mr. Outside, White and Gordon. The Buckeyes cut into a 10-point deficit to draw to 31-29 in the opening 4 minutes of the second half. But then Gordon drove the lane for a nifty hesitation layup, shifting hands in mid-air, White hit a 10-foot turnaround . jumper, Armon Bassett made a 3-pointer and Kyle Taber, ma~ing only his second start of the season, had a tip-in to push the lead to 40-29. Koufos and Diebler scored Ohio State's next 13 points, pulling the Buckeyes to within 46-42 on Koufos ' spin move around White with 8 minutes left. But the two-time defending Big Ten champs never got closer. ' Each time they got within four points, the Hoosiers had an answer. "We'd make a shot and then they'd go down and score and put us in a hole again," Diebler said. "They JUSt made plays at the end that we didn't." Sampson inserted Taber in the starting lineup because Jamarcus Ellis and Bassett were late for a team film sessmn on Saturday. They still did their part on a day when everyone had a hand in the win. . The Hoosiers showed no ill effects from the emotionaJ, exhausting marathon just three days earlier at Illinois. If anything, they looked fresher and more energetic throughout the game than Ohio State did. Sampson said it was all an example of maturity and expenence. qualifying races at 186.734.

Statist1cmns call this problem .selection bias," professors Enc Bradlow, Shane Jensen, Justin Wolfers and Ad1 Wyner wrote 1n Sunday's Times. They compared Clemens' ERA and walks plus-hitsper-mmng w1th those of 31 pitchers since 1968 with 3,000 mnings and l0 or more starts in at least 15 seasons. "The available data on Clemens's career strongly hint that some unusual factors may have been at play m producing his excellent latecareer stallstics," they sa1d, while adding, "in any analysis of h1s career stallstics, 1t is impossible to say whether this unusual factor was performance-enhancing drugs." Hendricks said the criteria used by the professors ·was flawed , and that they ignored criteria such as Clemen s' ERA margin vs that of the league and strikeouts. Hendrick s' report tried to relute any perceived misconception s that Clemen s' career was on the downs1de when he left Boston after the 1996 season. While the professors claimed Clemens was in decline in his late 20s, Hendricks pointed out Clemens was an All-Star in consecutive years from age 27-29, finished second in Cy Young at age 28, then won 1t the followmg year. Former New York Mets clubhouse attendant Kirk Radomski also weighed in on the dispute, telling ESPN.com that he thinks McNamee has told the truth about Clemens - although Radomski said he was no direct knowledge about.

Instead, it' ll be first-llmer Jim Zorn taking the mantle from Hall of Farner Joe Gibbs. Two weeks after being hired as the offenSi ve coordinator, the former Seattle Seahawks qu arterback was promoted to head coach Saturday night in a surprise ending to a secretive process that tned fans' patience and produced a new favonte every week. The 54-year-old Zorn agreed to a five-year contract. Zorn was the Seahawks' quarterbacks coach for the last seven years, helping develop · Matt Hasselbeck into a Pro Bowl player, but he had never been a coordinator for an NFL team until the Redskins came calling. Now he's making the jump to head coach. Zorn becomes the sixth coach under Snyder, who bought the team in 1999, and he ends a string' of highprofile coaching hires by an owner who had developed a reputation for hiring top names at a top price.

Four AFC defenders missed him on that touchdown. Neither s1de held back the tricks, to the delight of the sellout crowd of 50,044 at Aloha Stadium. There was a fake punt, a throwback kickoff return and a handful of fourth-down gambles. One of those was a 34yard pass to Owens from fellow Cowboy Tony Romo that sparked the comeback. Before that huge play, Owens had a pair of ugly drops that drew boos, He quickly turned them into cheers. NFC players won $40,000, which Owens said made the tri'p to the islands even better. The 48 first-half points tied the Pro Bowl record for the first two periods.

The Minnesota running back joined Faulk as the only rookies to be voted MVP of the Pro Bowl. "Good company," Peterson said.

"I'm going to keep it," Peterson said, smiling. Owens' 6-yard catch from Tampa Bay's Jeff Garcia provided the winning points, and Owens knew the new ride could have been sitting in his driveway. Then Peterson added a clinching 6-yard touchdown run to steel the wheels.

Be prepared to see openings and good fortune In everv· thing. AQUARIUS (Jan . 20-Feb. 19)- Praise. polltenes! and tact always work very well for you when dealing with others, espe· ciaKy lllOsB who can be hard to handle. If the atoremenlloned attributes are miss· lng, you'll regrettably put your toot in it. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - Your word sl'loukl ·always be your bond, but today you might be tempted to make a commitment you don't Intend to keep. Broken promises wl!l leave scars you don't expect and will be difficult to heal. AR!ES (March 21·April19) -In order to get oth~rs to see your ~Ide of an issue, you will be tempted to lay It on a bit ttllck. However, you'll get much further with them using a thinner brush and smaller strokes to paint your picture. TAURUS (Apri! 20-May 29) - Being a courageous person· can be very uselul, but don't foolishly misuse this valuable asset and rush Into something just because you don't want" the facts to be what they are. You'll be luckier facing the truth. GEMINI (May 21 -June 20) -When a trlend of yours comes to you tor help and advice, the least·eftective thing you can do is say what vou think the person wants to hear Instead of the truth.

As long as you don't waver !rom what you know, you won't get into any trouble. LEO ~July 23-Aug. 22) - Listen anen· lively to what others have to say, but don't use what you want to hear as a cop-outlofaillo think for yourself. In real· ity, you know far mora about your per· sonal affairs than they do. VIRGd (Aug. 23-Sept. .22) - If you do something nice tor another, be certain that your motives ar.e baaed purely upon good inlentiona and not juat to get some· thing lrom him or her. False reasons will . quickly be discerned. LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23)- Usually your innate ability to see good in everybody enables you to maintain pleasant social associations, but tor reasons known only to yoU, they may not be operative at all tim•• ri~t now.

Earnhardt had a smashing debut in his Hendrick Motorsports ride, getting a boost from his new teammates to power past Tony Stewart to win - the Budweiser Shootout on Saturday ~ight. It was Earnhardt's first victory in any series since summer 2006, and could be a sign of things to come now that NASCAR's most popular driver is partnered with its most powerful team. . Seconds after taking the checkered flag, Earnhardt declared himself a favorite for next week's seasonopening Daytona 500. "What a race car!" Earnhardt yelled over his radio. "This might be a (Daytona) 500 winner here and you don't know it." The winner of the 70-lap exhibition has gone on to win the Daytona 500 five times, with Dale Jarrett the last in 2000. Earnhardt spun his new white No. 88 Chevrolet in a flurry of victory doughnuts before excitedly heading to Victory Lane. · ..

Mayor John Musser said he wasn't so sure and asked for a second reading on the ordinance which this time dido 't pass . unanimously. Councilman Pete Barnhart and Councilwoman Mary McAngus voted against the reading because, as McAngus put it, she dido 't like the . wording which prohibits campaign signs on private property unless its 21 days prior to an election and up to seven days after the election.

Sunday. Lowery.wins for the frrst time in 8 years, .with help from Singh BY DOUG FERGUSON ASSOCIATED PRESS PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. - Having gorie more than seven years and 199 tournaments witheut winning, Steve Lowery had every reason to feel out of his element Sunday. He was on the 18th tee at Pebble Bea~h, one of the most famous spots in golf. He was in a playoff against Vijay Singh, one' of golf's toughest customers. And he never felt more at ease. Lowery took advantage of a stunning collapse by Singh, who made three straight bogeys on the back nine, then put him away on the frrst extra hole with a 7-foot birdie putt to win the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. "I ·couldn't have given it any more in 18 holes," said Lowery, who closed with a 4under 68. "I just told my caddie, 'I've got nothing to lose.' Just go out and play aggres· sive. If anythin41. it kind of freed me up a hnle it. I just felt like I didn 't have anything to lose," The 47-year-old Lo.wery became the oldest champion in the 71 -year history of this event, and under a variety of circumstances , ·one of the more surprising winners. He was No. 305 in the world ranking when he arrived on the Mo'nterey Peninsula. He suffered a freak wrist injury last year that kept him out for three months and gave him temporary status this season. Most surprising of all is that Lowery was three shots behind Singh when he walked off .the 14th tee. Singh made three straight bogeys. only a wedge into 2 feet on the 18th hole for birdie at a 71 allowed him one last chance in a playoff. That didn't la~t long, as Singh found two more bunkers on the 18th in overtime and did well to make par. Both players finished at I 0under 278. · "I let this one slip away," Singh said. "I was in control, but those (bogeys) took a littie air out of me. I still should have won the tournament. There's no excuse for that." Lowery earned $1.08 million and a two,-year exemption. He was on a minor medical extension because of the wrist injury and was given eight tournaments to earn $282;558 to keep his card the rest of the year. He was only exempt to opposite-field events . in Meltico and Puerto Rico the neltt two months. · Now he's going to the Masters. It was his ftrst victory since the 2000 Southern Farm Bureau Classic and third in his career, all won in playoffs. "After seven years and winning on this course against Vijay and everything ... it's probably the most special," Lowery Said. The frrst playoff at Pebble Beach since 1992 didn't even seem remotely possibly when Lowery walked off the 14th green with a bogey. He was three shots behind Singh, who had just hit a brilliant flop shot to 6 feet to save par on the 13th. Turns out that was a sign of sloppy play that followed. Singh went at the flag; on the 14th with a sand wedge from 92 yards, but it was a tad strong and spun down the slope, and the best he could do was chip to 20 feet and make bogey. He missed the 15th green to the left, chipped weakly and missed an 8-footer for par. The free fall continued on the 16th when Singh hit fairway metal into a bunker, went over the green down a slope to the back buriker and two-putted from the fringe ' for h1s third straight bogey. His only break came on the 18th in regulation, when his tee shot bounced off the trunk of a tree and deflected to the left. No sucli luck in the playoff, however. From a fairway . bunker, Singh's second shot hit the top of the trap, leaving him a 4-iron into the green, and that one caught a plugged lie. He blasted out to 8 feet and saved par. Dudley Hart,• who started the final round tied with Singh, didn't make a birdie until making three in a row a( the end for a 72 to finish one shot out of the playoff. He tied for third with John Mallinger (65) and Corey PaVin (66). Jason Day, the 20-year-old from Australia, finished alone in sixth after a 70. ·Pebllle Beach was the final tournament to qualify for the Accenture Match · Play Championship. Pat Perez shot 72 and tied for 24th, but it was enough for him to get into his first World Golf Championship. Perez moved up one spot No. 65, and with Ernie Els not playing, he will face Tiger Woods ih the first round, provided no one else withdrdws.
