The good news, according to the analysis, is that the .local retail community is, doing better than raw data would predict, based on income and population of the community. Still, nearly $80 million is spent each year outside the local retail economy when it could be . spent right here at home. · Greg Davis, an Extension specialist in commumty development, presented a· draft of the analysis at a meeting in Pomeroy Thursday. The-Meigs County Economic Development Office commissioned the study, which examines local and regional shopping trends in 32 different retatl sectors. The analysis determines retail sales surpluses . and leakages in those 32 sectors, comparing the actual retail sales in the sector to , the potential sales, which are estimated by comparing the population of the market area and the percapita income of the residents in that area. According to Davis, potential sales are the annual sales that a market area could achieve if all residents purchased products from those sectors locally. A surplus is identified if acto- · al sales are greater than poteqtial sales, and a leakage results if actual sales are less thao the potential sales. The 32 sectors range from clothing, shoe and drug stores to auto dealerships, groceries ·and gift shops. Service industries, such as inns and motels, banks and insurance firms, are not included in the study. Th€ Pomeroy/Middleport market area also includes Mason, W.Va., and its Wal-Mart store, whose sales are included in the analysis. Therefore, the analysis does not identify how much business locallyowned stores lose to the nation's largest retailer.

Physicians and pain researchers have only recently begun to appreciate that men who are prescribed long-acting opioid medications for chronic pain frequently experience the signs and symptoms of testosterone deficiency, which include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction , tiredness, depressed mood, and hot flashes or night sweats. The good news is that testosterone deficiency is readily diagnosed by a blood test and can be safely ;md successfully treated with a variety . of testosterone ~para­ lions, including injections, transdeimal patches and topipal gels.

Physicians and pain researchers have only recently begun to appreciate that men who are prescribed long-acting opioid medications for chronic pain frequently experience the signs and symptoms of testosterone deficiency, which include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction , tiredness, depressed mood, and hot flashes or night sweats. The good news is that testosterone deficiency is readily diagnosed by a blood test and can be safely ;md successfully treated with a variety . of testosterone ~para­ lions, including injections, transdeimal patches and topipal gels. "Falling Out of Love" should encourage her husband to be evaluated for testosterone deficiency and treated if he has it.

Watching ads and videos for the Illinois senator, he explained, "gave · me chills, and made me think that these were the feelings people felt when JFK. -my political. idol, was running." The student included a YouTube link to the "most influential" video he'd seen so far. Called "Yes We Can" and created by singer will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas, it sets the words of an Obama speech to music. And in just a few weeks, it has become the unofficial anthem of the Obama campaign . Consider the reaction of Mark Anthony Neal, a professor of African-Amencan studies at Duke University who watched the video with his 9-year-old daughter. As Neal told the Washington Post, his daughter turned and asked: "Daddy, why are you cryingT' His answer: "It really pulls at our heartstrings the way more mundane political songs don't." . There are many reasons why Obama .has surged into the lead . for the Democratic nomination (which widened in Wisconsin and Hawaii this week), bilt this is an important one. More and more voters are getting · their information about the candidates directly from the Jntern!:t; outside the filters Cokie and Steven Roberts and frameworks imposed by the mainstream media. "Yes We Can" is the archetyP.ical examP.le of this sh1ft. Yes, w1ll.i.am and his pals (30 of them join the sing-along) are polished professional performers, but the video acquires its power from a fresh, even naive, approach that would never occur to your average, hard-bitten media consultant. . The producers distributed their work by posting it on open-source Web sites like YouTube (where· it has received 4 million hits as of this writing) . . Then the video went viral, with fans sending it to friends with a few mouse clicks. 'This aQecdotal evidence of the Internet's growing influence is supported by data from · the Pew Research Center: One out of four Americans uses the Internet as a major source of political information, but that jumps to 46 percent among 18- to 29year-olds (up from 21 percent in 2004). Of course television still matters - six -iri 10 still follow politics on the tube · and in this arena, Obama also enjoys significant advantages. His huge fund-raisin/1 lead over Hillary Chnton enabled him to flood key primary states with paid commercials after Super Tuesd;ty; in Wisconsin, he was on the air for six days before Clinton ran a single spot. Obama has also been riding a wave of favorable press coverage that borders on the ecstatic. Media critic Howard Kurtz of the Washington Post calls it "Kennedy envy," and he has a · pvint. Many young reporters feel "chills" at Obama's perfonnances and yearn for the excitement of JFK's •Jegendary campaign 48 years ago. We've always believed that most reporters reflect two biases - in favor of a good story and against whoever is in power- and Obama benefits on both counts. As the first serious female . candidate, Clinton lias a strong story to tell, but the possibility of a young black president turns our to be an even more compelling tale. And while Clinton d()f;s not occupy the White House, she used to, and her poor relations with the media reflect that tangled history. Team Clinton understands the power of the Internet - she announced her candidacy on the Web, after all - but for Obama, new media has become an essential part of his change message. "Yes We Can" is far more effective because lbelma I. Giles it comes from the bottom up, not the top down. The v1deo itself embodies what he's trying to sell: a shift in power from old to young, msider to outsider. . More practically, it didn't cost the Obama camprugn anything. When supporters send it to their friends, they develop a stake in the candidate's success. And when that video arrives, with a personal endorsement, . it assumes extra credibility. "People, for the most part. will make their final deci' sions based on what friends . and family · say," media consultant Bill Mcintyre told Bloomberg News. Moreover, the video stands alone. There's no TV commentator right there, poised to pose a question or pick it apart. That's why Democratic strategist Tad Devine made a valid point to Bloomberg: "We can reach people on a mass basis without television. That old age has . already ended." Not quite. A huge question has . not been fully answered: Can all of' this online enthusiasm translate Into offline activism? And votes next fall? But a new media age is dawning, and Barack Obama is its first symbol. (Steve Roberts' latest book is "My Fathers' Houses: Memoir of a . Family" (William· Morrow, 2005 ).

"Whatever happens, we're going to be fine."

That's why the end of the debate and Clinton's generous praise of Obama stood out- an unprompted gesture that followed another poignant moment, when she acknowledged the pain of her husband's dalliance with White House intern Monica Lewinsky and his subsequent impea~hment. "I think everybody here knows I've lived through some crises and some challenging moments in my life," she said, winning applause and cheers. · Was it another example of Clinton "finding her voice" - showing the kind of flash of humanity that helped her win the New Hampshire primary last month?

There are 311 days left in the year. , Today's Highlight in History: On Feb. 24, 1868, the House of Representatives impeached Presictent Andrew JohnS<?n following his attempted dismissal of Secretary of War Edwm M. Stanton; Johnson was later acquitted by the-Senate. On this date: In 1582, Pope Gregory XIII issued a papal bull, or edict, outlining his calendar reforms. (The Gregorian Calendar is the calendar in general use today). In 1607, the opera "Orfeo," by Claudio Monteverdi, had its public premiere at the Court Theater in Mantua, Italy. In 1803, in its Marbury v. Madison decision, the Supreme Court established judicial review of the constitutionality of statutes.

Watching ads and videos for the Illinois senator, he explained, "gave · me chills, and made me think that these were the feelings people felt when JFK. -my political. idol, was running." The student included a YouTube link to the "most influential" video he'd seen so far. Called "Yes We Can" and created by singer will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas, it sets the words of an Obama speech to music. And in just a few weeks, it has become the unofficial anthem of the Obama campaign . Consider the reaction of Mark Anthony Neal, a professor of African-Amencan studies at Duke University who watched the video with his 9-year-old daughter. As Neal told the Washington Post, his daughter turned and asked: "Daddy, why are you cryingT' His answer: "It really pulls at our heartstrings the way more mundane political songs don't." . There are many reasons why Obama .has surged into the lead . for the Democratic nomination (which widened in Wisconsin and Hawaii this week), bilt this is an important one. More and more voters are getting · their information about the candidates directly from the Jntern!:t; outside the filters Cokie and Steven Roberts and frameworks imposed by the mainstream media. "Yes We Can" is the archetyP.ical examP.le of this sh1ft. Yes, w1ll.i.am and his pals (30 of them join the sing-along) are polished professional performers, but the video acquires its power from a fresh, even naive, approach that would never occur to your average, hard-bitten media consultant. . The producers distributed their work by posting it on open-source Web sites like YouTube (where· it has received 4 million hits as of this writing) . . Then the video went viral, with fans sending it to friends with a few mouse clicks. 'This aQecdotal evidence of the Internet's growing influence is supported by data from · the Pew Research Center: One out of four Americans uses the Internet as a major source of political information, but that jumps to 46 percent among 18- to 29year-olds (up from 21 percent in 2004). Of course television still matters - six -iri 10 still follow politics on the tube · and in this arena, Obama also enjoys significant advantages. His huge fund-raisin/1 lead over Hillary Chnton enabled him to flood key primary states with paid commercials after Super Tuesd;ty; in Wisconsin, he was on the air for six days before Clinton ran a single spot. Obama has also been riding a wave of favorable press coverage that borders on the ecstatic. Media critic Howard Kurtz of the Washington Post calls it "Kennedy envy," and he has a · pvint. Many young reporters feel "chills" at Obama's perfonnances and yearn for the excitement of JFK's •Jegendary campaign 48 years ago. We've always believed that most reporters reflect two biases - in favor of a good story and against whoever is in power- and Obama benefits on both counts. As the first serious female . candidate, Clinton lias a strong story to tell, but the possibility of a young black president turns our to be an even more compelling tale. And while Clinton d()f;s not occupy the White House, she used to, and her poor relations with the media reflect that tangled history. Team Clinton understands the power of the Internet - she announced her candidacy on the Web, after all - but for Obama, new media has become an essential part of his change message. "Yes We Can" is far more effective because lbelma I. Giles it comes from the bottom up, not the top down. The v1deo itself embodies what he's trying to sell: a shift in power from old to young, msider to outsider. . More practically, it didn't cost the Obama camprugn anything. When supporters send it to their friends, they develop a stake in the candidate's success. And when that video arrives, with a personal endorsement, . it assumes extra credibility. "People, for the most part. will make their final deci' sions based on what friends . and family · say," media consultant Bill Mcintyre told Bloomberg News. Moreover, the video stands alone. There's no TV commentator right there, poised to pose a question or pick it apart. That's why Democratic strategist Tad Devine made a valid point to Bloomberg: "We can reach people on a mass basis without television. That old age has . already ended." Not quite. A huge question has . not been fully answered: Can all of' this online enthusiasm translate Into offline activism? And votes next fall? But a new media age is dawning, and Barack Obama is its first symbol. (Steve Roberts' latest book is "My Fathers' Houses: Memoir of a . Family" (William· Morrow, 2005 ).

Formula One and now drives in NASCAR. "But 1 think for the hardcore open-wheel fan , it's going to be good to see all the drivers together again. " It seems hard to bt!lieve now, but there was a time when open-wheel racing was one of the country's premier sports. Fans loved the drama and thrill of it all, and there was nothing quite like the high-pitched whine of an open-wheel engine as cars sped around tracks well above 200 mph . · Drivers were household • names, and the Foyts and : Unsers and Andrettis were •. dynasties. The Indianapolis • 500 was an "event'' as much as it was a race, with fans nationwide planning their I ' Memorial 'Day barbecues around the famous call of "Gentlemen, start your engines." But George, president and chief executive of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, couldn't leave well enough alone. Concerned · about growing costs in open-wheel, the move away from the tradition cif oval races and dwindling opportumues for young American drivers, he broke away from CART and began the IRL in 1996. · Some of his concerns were valid, though that really isn' t the point anymore . Egos and self-interests dominated, and both sides dug in for a long and nasty fight. CART had the bigger names initially, but George bad the Indy 500. Fan~. meanwhile, got the short end. A race in rural Michigan can never replace Indy, no matter if it's also on Memorial Day weekend. And the Racing Dentist, Jack Miller, isn't a worthy heir to A.J. Foyt just because he's got a ride at hidy. But neither side could or cared to - see the bigger picture. George may have "won" the open: wheel war (CART went bankrupt in 2004 ..and was bought by Kevin Kalkhoven, Gerald Forsythe and Paul Gentilozzi), but the cost was immeasurable. Fans ·long ago gave up on open-wheel mcing, and it's largely been reduced to a fringe sport. NASCAR is where rae in ' is at these days. Once a regional pastime , it took full advantage of the split and turned itself into a nationwide phenomenon. Even the Indianapoli s 500 has lost , its luster. Empty seats are now visible at the Brickyard - -something unthinkable just 15 years • ago. And it really isn't the "Greatest Spectacle in Racing" anymore. That mantle now belongs to "The Great American Race" the Daytpna 500. The Indy 500 may be Tony Stewart's holy grail, but he realized long ago that NASCAR was the place to be. Jetf Gordon spent part of his youth back home, in Indiana, but he ·never gave Indy cars much thought. Just this year, reigning Indy 500 champion Dario Franchitti jumped to NASCA~ along with three- / time lndyCar champion Sam Hornish Jr. In fact , these days, the IRL's biggest names are bet- . ter known for what they'' ve done OFF the track. Helio Castroneves may have won Indy twice, but it took a win on "Dancing with the Stars" to take · him mainstream . Danica Patrick generates more interest in a bikini than a fire.suit. Indeed, IndyCar racing will essentially be starting from scratch. There are obvious technical imd logistical hurdles to work out, but those will be minor compared to the big-picture barriers. lndyCar racing will have .to win back its old fans ;md make new ones, groom new drivers. and prove to sponsors that a single openwheel series can still be reievant in the age of NASCAR dominance . "This is a great day for open-wheel racing," longtime car owner Bobby Rahal said. "I truly believe that this . is the first step toward restoring open-wheel racing and the Indianapolis 500 to not only where it once was, but beyond." Maybe, maybe not. But this is the only way for open-wheel racing to have a fighting chance. LOWER INTEREST RATES +NO MONEY DOWN PROGRAMS =LOWER PAYMENTS THE TIME TO BUY IS NOW!·U!) FEDERAL RATE CUT PROVIDES UNPRECEDENTED LENDING OPPORTUNITY; CONSUMER ADVISED TO BUY VEHICLES BEFORE RECESSION February 2008 - The U.S. Federal Reserve boosted consumer hopes and comfQrted Wall Street investors by slashing interest rates by three-quarters of a percentage point to 3.0 percenl in an efil"t to save the economy from a recession. The economic s(imulus plan represented the largest singleday cut in a key interest rate in 25 years. The historic interest rate cut was designed to encourage consumer spending and energize the nation's economy. Shortly after the Fed announced a reduction of its federal funds rate to 3.0 percent from 4.25 percent. most major banks reduced their prime lending rates by the same amount. · Since the Fed rate affccl< how much consumers pay on credit card debt, home . equity lines or credit and auto loans, economists predict that consumers' monthly debt obligations should slide alpng with the rate cut. For consumers, the three-quarter point federal funds rate cut will mean lower interest rates on credit purrhases, including those of automobiles. According 10 CEO Alan Mulally, the rate bring some more credit onto the marketplace .. .it's going 10 help wnsumer confidence".

Formula One and now drives in NASCAR. "But 1 think for the hardcore open-wheel fan , it's going to be good to see all the drivers together again. " It seems hard to bt!lieve now, but there was a time when open-wheel racing was one of the country's premier sports. Fans loved the drama and thrill of it all, and there was nothing quite like the high-pitched whine of an open-wheel engine as cars sped around tracks well above 200 mph . · Drivers were household • names, and the Foyts and : Unsers and Andrettis were •. dynasties. The Indianapolis • 500 was an "event'' as much as it was a race, with fans nationwide planning their I ' Memorial 'Day barbecues around the famous call of "Gentlemen, start your engines." But George, president and chief executive of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, couldn't leave well enough alone. Concerned · about growing costs in open-wheel, the move away from the tradition cif oval races and dwindling opportumues for young American drivers, he broke away from CART and began the IRL in 1996. · Some of his concerns were valid, though that really isn' t the point anymore . Egos and self-interests dominated, and both sides dug in for a long and nasty fight. CART had the bigger names initially, but George bad the Indy 500. Fan~. meanwhile, got the short end. A race in rural Michigan can never replace Indy, no matter if it's also on Memorial Day weekend. And the Racing Dentist, Jack Miller, isn't a worthy heir to A.J. Foyt just because he's got a ride at hidy. But neither side could or cared to - see the bigger picture. George may have "won" the open: wheel war (CART went bankrupt in 2004 ..and was bought by Kevin Kalkhoven, Gerald Forsythe and Paul Gentilozzi), but the cost was immeasurable. Fans ·long ago gave up on open-wheel mcing, and it's largely been reduced to a fringe sport. NASCAR is where rae in ' is at these days. Once a regional pastime , it took full advantage of the split and turned itself into a nationwide phenomenon. Even the Indianapoli s 500 has lost , its luster. Empty seats are now visible at the Brickyard - -something unthinkable just 15 years • ago. And it really isn't the "Greatest Spectacle in Racing" anymore. That mantle now belongs to "The Great American Race" the Daytpna 500. The Indy 500 may be Tony Stewart's holy grail, but he realized long ago that NASCAR was the place to be. Jetf Gordon spent part of his youth back home, in Indiana, but he ·never gave Indy cars much thought. Just this year, reigning Indy 500 champion Dario Franchitti jumped to NASCA~ along with three- / time lndyCar champion Sam Hornish Jr. In fact , these days, the IRL's biggest names are bet- . ter known for what they'' ve done OFF the track. Helio Castroneves may have won Indy twice, but it took a win on "Dancing with the Stars" to take · him mainstream . Danica Patrick generates more interest in a bikini than a fire.suit. Indeed, IndyCar racing will essentially be starting from scratch. There are obvious technical imd logistical hurdles to work out, but those will be minor compared to the big-picture barriers. lndyCar racing will have .to win back its old fans ;md make new ones, groom new drivers. and prove to sponsors that a single openwheel series can still be reievant in the age of NASCAR dominance . "This is a great day for open-wheel racing," longtime car owner Bobby Rahal said. "I truly believe that this . is the first step toward restoring open-wheel racing and the Indianapolis 500 to not only where it once was, but beyond." Maybe, maybe not. But this is the only way for open-wheel racing to have a fighting chance. LOWER INTEREST RATES +NO MONEY DOWN PROGRAMS =LOWER PAYMENTS THE TIME TO BUY IS NOW!·U!) FEDERAL RATE CUT PROVIDES UNPRECEDENTED LENDING OPPORTUNITY; CONSUMER ADVISED TO BUY VEHICLES BEFORE RECESSION February 2008 - The U.S. Federal Reserve boosted consumer hopes and comfQrted Wall Street investors by slashing interest rates by three-quarters of a percentage point to 3.0 percenl in an efil"t to save the economy from a recession. The economic s(imulus plan represented the largest singleday cut in a key interest rate in 25 years. The historic interest rate cut was designed to encourage consumer spending and energize the nation's economy. Shortly after the Fed announced a reduction of its federal funds rate to 3.0 percent from 4.25 percent. most major banks reduced their prime lending rates by the same amount. · Since the Fed rate affccl< how much consumers pay on credit card debt, home . equity lines or credit and auto loans, economists predict that consumers' monthly debt obligations should slide alpng with the rate cut.

No. We're very passionate about green racing." The Indy Racing League's lndyCar series began racing on 100 percent ethanol last year. And Dewar said this year's ,Indianapolis 500 will be -led by a prototype Corvette pace car that runs on E85 ethanol- and it will be driven by two-time Indy 500 winner Emerson Fittipaldi, who has a financial stake in the ethanol business in Brazil. In a speech in January, NASCAR chairman and CEO Brian France said officials are considering biofuels. "While any steps we take with regards to fuels would have relatively little imp·act on the environment, it would be an important symbolic move," France said. "It's more important than ever to help make sure this country becomes energy independent and take the steps where we can to protect the environment.

GM optimistic Browns can sign Anderson to deal before free agency BY TOM WITHERS ASSOCIATED PRESS CLEVELAND The Cleveland Browns are going down to the wire in contract talks with quarterback Derek Anderson. Isn't that how they do everything? The Browns , who weren't eliminated from playOff contention until the final seconds of the season, · have offered a three-year contract to Anderson. Speaking at the NFL Combine in hjdianapolis · on Friday, general.mimager Phil Savage characterized talks with Anderson's agents as "posit ive" and remains optimistiC that a deal can be struck before Anderson hits the open market. "We've made some progress," Savage said. "There's nothing to report today, but we've got a week left until free agency begins. I know· people are considering that to be a hard deadline, but in a lot of ways, it's almost a perforated deadline." Savage, too, is prepared if a.deal can't be reached .. The Browns can tender Anderson with a one-year contract worth $2.5 million by Feb. 29. If another team makes an offer to the 24year-old, the Browns can match it or receive first~ and third-round picks as compensation if be signs elsewhere. Cleveland traded its firstround pick in 2008 to Dallas on draft day last year to select quarterback Brady Quinn, whom the team believes will eventu- ally become its starter. "We can still put the tender on him and continue to talk . if that's something they wanted to do,:' he said. "Our preference is to get it done .before the freeagency period begins, but at this point I'm not sure that''s going to happen one way or the other." Andersqn began last season as Charlie Frye's backup, but took over as the starter in Week 2 after.Frye was traded to Seattle. Anderson threw six TD passes in his first start and 29 for the season and nearly 4,000 yards. He led the Browns to I 0 wins and was named a Pro Bowl alter- nate. Coach Romeo Crennel understands Anderson's value and would like to · have him back. "It's important," he said about the necessity of signing Anderson. "It's not as important if we didn't hal(e a Brady Quinn in house . But it is important because the guy did win 10 games for us. He was productive, and to maintain continuity, it would be a pretty good thing." , Savage said one of the only hang-ups in negotiations is the length of the Browns' offer. Anderson's agents have seen quarterbacks like Tony Romo and . Matt Schwab get long-term deals, and were hoping to get their client get a similar package. · "They look at some quarterbacks out there that got six-year deals. We're trying to do something a little bit unique in our situation, because of the makeup of our team right now. We feel a 3-year agreement is one that would work for both sides, because Derek is 24 years old. He could play three years and then potentially hit free agency again where the money could be $70-$80 million. We have our reasons; they have theirs, but that'~ kind of where it stands right now."

Poston said NASCAR's new · office complex in Charlotte and International Speedway Corp.'s new headquarters m Daytona are both being constructed. according to green building guidelines. And yes, the idea of buying carbon credits is on the table. "There's a groundswell of awareness," Roush Fenway racing president Geoff Smith said. "We're all going to find out that it's going to be to our benefit, to the teams' benefit and to NASCAR's benefit, to assume a leadership position in an area that's going to help actually bring more money into ihe garage." Smith said be has talked to several sponsors about green-themed programs. One wants to set up a pavilion outside racetracks where fans cim learn about efficient household products.

"I think somebody did the math that all 43 cars all weekend don't· put as much carbon into the air as much as one liberal's jet c6n\in~ from L.A. to .Washington,' Smith said. "So we don't have a big negative footprint. But at the same time, I think there's a big opportunity to have a (eally positive footprint." · N ASCAR could make a big statement by switching · from gasoline to a biQfuel, something General Motors has been lobbying NASCAR to do for two years. "I'm passionate about the environment, and I work in racing," said Brent Dewar, GM's vice president of field sales, service and parts. "I usually get the question, 'Isn't that . contradictory?' No. We're very passionate about green racing." The Indy Racing League's lndyCar series began racing on 100 percent ethanol last year. And Dewar said this year's ,Indianapolis 500 will be -led by a prototype Corvette pace car that runs on E85 ethanol- and it will be driven by two-time Indy 500 winner Emerson Fittipaldi, who has a financial stake in the ethanol business in Brazil. In a speech in January, NASCAR chairman and CEO Brian France said officials are considering biofuels. "While any steps we take with regards to fuels would have relatively little imp·act on the environment, it would be an important symbolic move," France said. "It's more important than ever to help make sure this country becomes energy independent and take the steps where we can to protect the environment. And you've got my commitment and everybody at NASCAR, we're going to do our part." But Vickers isn't a fan of biofuels. Why tum food into fuel, . he says, when . something better is within reach? "Now that you have the ability to make a good, functionaJ·hydrogen fuel cell car, then why are we even wasting our time with what's 'in between," Vickers said. "I do!j't understand that." And Vickers isn't J?articularly hung up on drtving a race car that runs on something other than gasoline. Instead, he ·can· imagine a day when NASCAR is a, museum in motion. · "Maybe 50 years from now there are no gas engines on the road, which would be fantastic. I would love that," Vickers said. "Maybe the one place you can still hear one is at a NASCAR race." GM optimistic Browns can sign Anderson to deal before free agency BY TOM WITHERS ASSOCIATED PRESS CLEVELAND The Cleveland Browns are going down to the wire in contract talks with quarterback Derek Anderson. Isn't that how they do everything? The Browns , who weren't eliminated from playOff contention until the final seconds of the season, · have offered a three-year contract to Anderson. Speaking at the NFL Combine in hjdianapolis · on Friday, general.mimager Phil Savage characterized talks with Anderson's agents as "posit ive" and remains optimistiC that a deal can be struck before Anderson hits the open market. "We've made some progress," Savage said. "There's nothing to report today, but we've got a week left until free agency begins. I know· people are considering that to be a hard deadline, but in a lot of ways, it's almost a perforated deadline." Savage, too, is prepared if a.deal can't be reached .. The Browns can tender Anderson with a one-year contract worth $2.5 million by Feb. 29. If another team makes an offer to the 24year-old, the Browns can match it or receive first~ and third-round picks as compensation if be signs elsewhere. Cleveland traded its firstround pick in 2008 to Dallas on draft day last year to select quarterback Brady Quinn, whom the team believes will eventu- ally become its starter. "We can still put the tender on him and continue to talk . if that's something they wanted to do,:' he said. "Our preference is to get it done .before the freeagency period begins, but at this point I'm not sure that''s going to happen one way or the other." Andersqn began last season as Charlie Frye's backup, but took over as the starter in Week 2 after.Frye was traded to Seattle. Anderson threw six TD passes in his first start and 29 for the season and nearly 4,000 yards. He led the Browns to I 0 wins and was named a Pro Bowl alter- nate. Coach Romeo Crennel understands Anderson's value and would like to · have him back. "It's important," he said about the necessity of signing Anderson. "It's not as important if we didn't hal(e a Brady Quinn in house . But it is important because the guy did win 10 games for us. He was productive, and to maintain continuity, it would be a pretty good thing." , Savage said one of the only hang-ups in negotiations is the length of the Browns' offer. Anderson's agents have seen quarterbacks like Tony Romo and . Matt Schwab get long-term deals, and were hoping to get their client get a similar package. · "They look at some quarterbacks out there that got six-year deals. We're trying to do something a little bit unique in our situation, because of the makeup of our team right now. We feel a 3-year agreement is one that would work for both sides, because Derek is 24 years old. He could play three years and then potentially hit free agency again where the money could be $70-$80 million. We have our reasons; they have theirs, but that'~ kind of where it stands right now."

Guess he likes the trades. James, who had been · hoping the Cavaliers would pull the trigger on a deal prior to Thursday's trading deadline, gave his stamp of approval to the club's acquisition of-Ben Wallace, Wally Szczerbiak, Joe Smith and Delonte Westfour players the Cavs feel can get them an NBA title. ''I'm excited," he said. Jason Kidd may ha ve been James' No. I choice, but he wasn 't complaining about Cleveland's new quartet. . ' 'This isn't the type of deal I expected," he said before Friday's game with Washington. " You guys heard What I wanted but I am grateful for the situation. We got some good caliber guys that are coming in. It was very surprising, you come into the locker room today and it is very different." By adding Wallace and Smith, James feels Cleveland has improved its frontcourt. And in· Szcze_rbiak, he's getting one the league's purest perimeter shooters. "We've added some depth to our front lint\, . which we needed, and we added some more shooting, which we needed," James said. "We don ' t have much time, but wliat is good about the guys that came in is that they have playoff experience." During a timeout in the first quarter, Wallace, Szczerbiak, Smith and West received a standing ovation as they watched the game from a luxury suite. "Welcome To The Family" was shown on the giant scoreboard. The four took their physicals but won't make their debuts until Sunday. A few minutes later, James broke out a few dance moves as he sat in his chair on Cleveland's sparsely populated bench. From his seat, Szczerbiak began imagining what it will be like to' .be on the floor as James' teammate . "I was just marveli ng at how he puts everyone in slow motion out there," Szczerbiak said. "He looks like he's moving at a different speed." · With only six healthy players able to suit up, the Cavaliers, who traded six others away 'in the three- team blockbuster, signed Kaniel Dickens and Billy Thomas from the NBA's Developmental League on Friday so they'd have enough players to .face the Wizards. "I've never been in a situation where we called guys up just to be able to play a game," Cavs guard Eric Snow said after the morning shootaround. "It's the NBA, I can't say I'm surprised." · Dickens was stunned when he got the call. "I dropped. my fork and my knife, ran out on my bill went home packed some things and made it to the airport,'~ he said, joking about the bill. "It just happened so fast." So did Cleveland's trade, which included II players and gutted half the defending Eastern Conference champions' active roster. General manager Danny Ferry made the deals to give his team a shot at an NBA title. It was strange watching the Cavs exit the practice floor without any sign of Larry Hughes, Drew Gooden, Donyell Marshall, Ira Newble .. Shannon Brown or Cednc S1mmons . , !n the mean t1me, coach M1ke ~rown has I~ make due with wh~t he s got. Fortunately, he s got Ja~es. "We do have LeBron, he .d "S 0 th t d h 1 ~~;_,; a oes e P Browns understands it may take time for his re-vamped team to mesh. But except for West, he's getting experienced players who won't need to have their hands held as t·hey learn a new system. "These guys have been around the block," he said. "They are smart guys anc.l that will make it easier." It's a little different for Dickens and Thomas, who both have NBA experience but have logged most their most playing minutes in the D-League. Both were playing for the Colorado 14ers when they got the call to quickly get to Cleveland. ' For Dickens, who was averaging 20.4 points, the Cavaliers are just the hitest stop on a globe-trotting d Th' · basketball o yssey. 1s 1s the fourth time. he's been called up, but h1s fust on a 10-day contract. One ~hing he ~asn't done before IS play With a superstar hke James. "From what I hear, he's going to make it very easy for me," Dickens said. "I just hope I don't get caught up in watching him play." ' WVU asks judge to dismiss Rodriguez counterclaims in ongoing lawsuit BY VtCKI SMITH ASSOCIATED PRESS MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - West Virginia University wants a judge to dismiss ·counterclaims Rich Rodriguez raised to the lawsuit over his $4 million buyout, arguing he can't benefit from a contract, then refuse to comply with the parts he doesn't ·like. WVU filed . documents Friday in Monongalia County Circuit Court in Morgantown, arguing that Rodriguez fails to offer legal foundations for his claim the contract is unenforceable. He claims he signed it under false pretenses, expecting certain ,verbal J?romises from the administration to be kept. But Rodriguez knew wfiat he was doing and had help from lawyers, financial advisers and agents when he negotiated ana signed the document, WVU argues. ln January, a month after he accepted the job as head coach at, Michigan, WVU ' paid Rodriguez a $287,000 incentive payment for goals reached during the 2007 season. Now it wants him to pay the $4 million. ,. "Rodriguez obtained all of the benefits of the e_mployment contract, but cnes foul when th~ very contract. he ~te~ IS enforced agamst him, WVU attorneys Tom Aaherty .:"'~ J~ff Wakefield wrote, Bmdmg, wntten contra_cts are not unenforceable JUst ~eca!lse a pa~y d~s .not like Its terms 1.n hmdstg~t. Rodnguez terrrunated his employ,ment and now must deal with the ramifications of the termination." If Rodriguez believes he made a bad deal, the lawyers "continue, "then he needs to look to his own .agents and advisors who counseled him ... not the university." Rodriguez has argued WVU failed to keep several promises it made to_get him to sign his contract, mcluding the reduction or elimination of the buyout clause. WVU denies such a promise was ever made.

Sunday, February 24, 2008 Middleport home to classic carousels Bv ' CHARLENE HOEFLICH HOEFUCH<Ii>MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM . MIDDLEPORT - Did you know that Middleport is home to on~ 9f the last authentic original examples of the early Amenclila horse-drawn street carollsels? · "The Children's Delight" carousel manufactured by W.F. Mangles in Coney Island, N.Y.. over a hundred years ago, is owned by Myron and June Duffield. It has been identi(ied as the only ~urviving kiddie carousel made by Mangles. The-carousel was completely restored to its exact configuration as • shown in Fred Fried's book The American Carousel by .the Duffields, who purchased it in 1975 from the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Collection in Williamsburg, Va. · · It has the original seven wooden horses created by Marcus lllions. two wooden two-passenger chariot seats providing ride capacity for II children, and a red rounding board !lecorated with florals, scrolls and landscapes with a red and white canvas canopy. The overall dimensions are 10 feet tall by 13 feet in length. · · The hand-cranked kiddy carousel, valued in six figures, is mounted on a horse-drawn vehicle like those which were on the streets of America a century ago. · Long ago, the Duffields had a dream, inspired by their own children, of putting together a small kiddie park using older or antigue rides. "We had heard of a gentleman in Canada who had done it and had assembled a variety of old style antique amusement devices and created a nostalgic amusement park for young children, and that's what we wanted to do," said Myron. So they began making inquiries with plans to purchase some rides. One query about a merry-go-round resulted in being referred to the Williamsburg collection. Not being one to hesitate, Myron made a trip there, was. told they did · have a kiddie merry-go-round which they described as in working condition, which they might consider selling, but said it was stored away from the museum in a warehouse. That day Myron negotiated tHe purchase of the carousel, si~ht unseen, and then drove to the warehouse to pick it up. 'When. I went to the warehouse what I found was seven ••1aU wooden horses leaning up against the wall, adile of mangled steel, wire, rotted wood, rusted springs, an missing parts," he said.

The wheels and the springs were repaired, a new canvas canopy was made and mstalled, and the painting on the original horses was completed. Once all assembled, the Duffields installed a Werlitzer Merry-Go-Round band organ on the front of the carousel to provide the traditional music. The carousel was shown and used in paiades in 1979 and 1980, along with the two calliopes they owned and operated. Then in 1981, a fire struck the building where the carousel was stored, causing considerable damage. Fortunately, the ornate horses were in another location. · Employment moves across several. states necessitated postponing starting the second restoration until 1991 when the couple returned to Ohio. It continued when Myron retired and he and June returned to Middleport, where they had both grown up. The restoration was completed last summer. . Myron said that as the years passed they lost enthl!sj· ;Jsm for their original plan to . develop a kiddie antique amusement park . . 'There were many other interests, avenues, side trips and adventures over that period of time," he said. Now the Duffields are planning a move from their Middleport home to a smaller place.

Guess he likes the trades. James, who had been · hoping the Cavaliers would pull the trigger on a deal prior to Thursday's trading deadline, gave his stamp of approval to the club's acquisition of-Ben Wallace, Wally Szczerbiak, Joe Smith and Delonte Westfour players the Cavs feel can get them an NBA title. ''I'm excited," he said. Jason Kidd may ha ve been James' No. I choice, but he wasn 't complaining about Cleveland's new quartet. . ' 'This isn't the type of deal I expected," he said before Friday's game with Washington. " You guys heard What I wanted but I am grateful for the situation. We got some good caliber guys that are coming in. It was very surprising, you come into the locker room today and it is very different." By adding Wallace and Smith, James feels Cleveland has improved its frontcourt. And in· Szcze_rbiak, he's getting one the league's purest perimeter shooters. "We've added some depth to our front lint\, . which we needed, and we added some more shooting, which we needed," James said. "We don ' t have much time, but wliat is good about the guys that came in is that they have playoff experience." During a timeout in the first quarter, Wallace, Szczerbiak, Smith and West received a standing ovation as they watched the game from a luxury suite. "Welcome To The Family" was shown on the giant scoreboard. The four took their physicals but won't make their debuts until Sunday. A few minutes later, James broke out a few dance moves as he sat in his chair on Cleveland's sparsely populated bench. From his seat, Szczerbiak began imagining what it will be like to' .be on the floor as James' teammate . "I was just marveli ng at how he puts everyone in slow motion out there," Szczerbiak said. "He looks like he's moving at a different speed." · With only six healthy players able to suit up, the Cavaliers, who traded six others away 'in the three- team blockbuster, signed Kaniel Dickens and Billy Thomas from the NBA's Developmental League on Friday so they'd have enough players to .face the Wizards. "I've never been in a situation where we called guys up just to be able to play a game," Cavs guard Eric Snow said after the morning shootaround. "It's the NBA, I can't say I'm surprised." · Dickens was stunned when he got the call. "I dropped. my fork and my knife, ran out on my bill went home packed some things and made it to the airport,'~ he said, joking about the bill. "It just happened so fast." So did Cleveland's trade, which included II players and gutted half the defending Eastern Conference champions' active roster. General manager Danny Ferry made the deals to give his team a shot at an NBA title. It was strange watching the Cavs exit the practice floor without any sign of Larry Hughes, Drew Gooden, Donyell Marshall, Ira Newble .. Shannon Brown or Cednc S1mmons . , !n the mean t1me, coach M1ke ~rown has I~ make due with wh~t he s got. Fortunately, he s got Ja~es. "We do have LeBron, he .d "S 0 th t d h 1 ~~;_,; a oes e P Browns understands it may take time for his re-vamped team to mesh. But except for West, he's getting experienced players who won't need to have their hands held as t·hey learn a new system. "These guys have been around the block," he said. "They are smart guys anc.l that will make it easier." It's a little different for Dickens and Thomas, who both have NBA experience but have logged most their most playing minutes in the D-League. Both were playing for the Colorado 14ers when they got the call to quickly get to Cleveland. ' For Dickens, who was averaging 20.4 points, the Cavaliers are just the hitest stop on a globe-trotting d Th' · basketball o yssey. 1s 1s the fourth time. he's been called up, but h1s fust on a 10-day contract. One ~hing he ~asn't done before IS play With a superstar hke James. "From what I hear, he's going to make it very easy for me," Dickens said. "I just hope I don't get caught up in watching him play." ' WVU asks judge to dismiss Rodriguez counterclaims in ongoing lawsuit BY VtCKI SMITH ASSOCIATED PRESS MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - West Virginia University wants a judge to dismiss ·counterclaims Rich Rodriguez raised to the lawsuit over his $4 million buyout, arguing he can't benefit from a contract, then refuse to comply with the parts he doesn't ·like. WVU filed . documents Friday in Monongalia County Circuit Court in Morgantown, arguing that Rodriguez fails to offer legal foundations for his claim the contract is unenforceable. He claims he signed it under false pretenses, expecting certain ,verbal J?romises from the administration to be kept. But Rodriguez knew wfiat he was doing and had help from lawyers, financial advisers and agents when he negotiated ana signed the document, WVU argues. ln January, a month after he accepted the job as head coach at, Michigan, WVU ' paid Rodriguez a $287,000 incentive payment for goals reached during the 2007 season. Now it wants him to pay the $4 million. ,. "Rodriguez obtained all of the benefits of the e_mployment contract, but cnes foul when th~ very contract. he ~te~ IS enforced agamst him, WVU attorneys Tom Aaherty .:"'~ J~ff Wakefield wrote, Bmdmg, wntten contra_cts are not unenforceable JUst ~eca!lse a pa~y d~s .not like Its terms 1.n hmdstg~t. Rodnguez terrrunated his employ,ment and now must deal with the ramifications of the termination." If Rodriguez believes he made a bad deal, the lawyers "continue, "then he needs to look to his own .agents and advisors who counseled him ... not the university." Rodriguez has argued WVU failed to keep several promises it made to_get him to sign his contract, mcluding the reduction or elimination of the buyout clause. WVU denies such a promise was ever made. Other things on Rodriguez's wish list included his own Web site to promote the football program. WVU claims it was still working on that and' other requests - some of which had legal ramifications when he resigned. WVU sued Rodriguez Dec. 27, sparkinjl a bitter and continuing pubhc feud with charges and countercharges of lymg, destruction of documents and more.

Swing' low, sweet chariot, coming for the carrv me home, swing low sweet chariot, coming for to carry me home." · The words above from the old Classic Spiritual by the name "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," have become a part of AmeriCan culture but before 1909, when the Fisk Jubilee Singers recorded that song, it was largely unknown to most of white America. Gallipolis has some connection to the discovery by white America of traditional African American spirituals in as ·much as those same Fisk Jubilee singers appeared in the Old French City a number of times. In fact, they were here in 1910, not too long after they began recording spiritual music. · The Fisk Jubilee Singers were given the premiere spot on the 19 10 Gallipolis Chautauqua program · (Saturday evening when attendance was usually its highest.) The 1910 Gallipolis Chautauqua was probably the greatest one in its nearly 10 year run here as it was also that year that the great orator William Jennings Bryan made his famous "Cross of Gold" speech. The Fisk Jubilee Singers, who by the way, are still around as an organization and gave a concert two weeks ago at Wright State University in Dayton, were organized by Ohioan George White, who was the treasurer of the newly formed Fisk Free Colored School (now University) · in Fisk Nashville, Tenn. Due to financial difficulties at this school started by northern white missionaries, White, also a fine musician, came up with the idea to organize a choir that would go on tour to raise funds. At first the group, all very highly skilled musicians, sang mostly classical music-. But one day in 1871 one of the group's singers, Ella Sheppard, suggested the chou sing a song Ella's mother ha~ taught l;ler, "Steal Away." It was a big hit and soon the group had added other unpublished African American cabin songs. Over the years, White and Sheppard came up with over 100 spiritual songs; which had their origins on the southern plantations. We often forget the key role that the Fisk Jubilee Singers had in preserving these great old songs that are now an important part of almost every church hymnaL There are songs like "Go Tell It on the Mountain," "Were You There?", "Michael, Row the Boat Ashore," "Down by the Riverside," "Every Time I Feel The Spirit," . "Do Lord ' " "Let . Us Break Bread Together," "Old Ship of Zion," "That Lonesome Valley," "Joshua Fit The Battle of Jericho," "It's Me, 0 Lord," "Jacob's Ladder" and "Nobody Knows the Trouble I Seen." · In that fHSt tour in 187) in which Ohio played a prominent part, the singers were introduced to the prejudices of northern ' whites. For instance at Zanesville, G.D. Pike in his 1873 book about singers wrote: "The six girls were put into a single room over a shed. In the middle of. the room stood an old stove, sending out more smoke ' attend the St. David's Day banquet in Oak Hill.

Gallipolis has some connection to the discovery by white America of traditional African American spirituals in as ·much as those same Fisk Jubilee singers appeared in the Old French City a number of times. In fact, they were here in 1910, not too long after they began recording spiritual music. · The Fisk Jubilee Singers were given the premiere spot on the 19 10 Gallipolis Chautauqua program · (Saturday evening when attendance was usually its highest.) The 1910 Gallipolis Chautauqua was probably the greatest one in its nearly 10 year run here as it was also that year that the great orator William Jennings Bryan made his famous "Cross of Gold" speech. The Fisk Jubilee Singers, who by the way, are still around as an organization and gave a concert two weeks ago at Wright State University in Dayton, were organized by Ohioan George White, who was the treasurer of the newly formed Fisk Free Colored School (now University) · in Fisk Nashville, Tenn. Due to financial difficulties at this school started by northern white missionaries, White, also a fine musician, came up with the idea to organize a choir that would go on tour to raise funds. At first the group, all very highly skilled musicians, sang mostly classical music-. But one day in 1871 one of the group's singers, Ella Sheppard, suggested the chou sing a song Ella's mother ha~ taught l;ler, "Steal Away." It was a big hit and soon the group had added other unpublished African American cabin songs. Over the years, White and Sheppard came up with over 100 spiritual songs; which had their origins on the southern plantations. We often forget the key role that the Fisk Jubilee Singers had in preserving these great old songs that are now an important part of almost every church hymnaL There are songs like "Go Tell It on the Mountain," "Were You There?", "Michael, Row the Boat Ashore," "Down by the Riverside," "Every Time I Feel The Spirit," . "Do Lord ' " "Let . Us Break Bread Together," "Old Ship of Zion," "That Lonesome Valley," "Joshua Fit The Battle of Jericho," "It's Me, 0 Lord," "Jacob's Ladder" and "Nobody Knows the Trouble I Seen." · In that fHSt tour in 187) in which Ohio played a prominent part, the singers were introduced to the prejudices of northern ' whites. For instance at Zanesville, G.D. Pike in his 1873 book about singers wrote: "The six girls were put into a single room over a shed. In the middle of. the room stood an old stove, sending out more smoke ' attend the St. David's Day banquet in Oak Hill.

' The Hines Veterans Affairs Hospital west' of Chicago recently bought a Wii system for its spinal cord injury unit. Pfc. Matthew Turpen, 22, paralyzed from the chest down in a car accident last year while stationed in Germany, plays Wii golf and bowhng from his wheelchair at Hines. The Des Moines, Iowa, native says the games lielp beat the monotony of rehab and seem to be doing his body good, too. "A lot of guys' don't have full finger function so it definitely helps being able to work on using your fingers more and figuring out dif-. ferent ways to use your hands" and arms, Turpen said. At Walter Reed Army Me'dical Center, the therapy is well-suited to patients injured during combat in Iraq, who tend to be in the 19 to 25 age range - a group that's "very into" playing video games, ·said Lt. Col. Stephanie Daugherty, Walter Reed's chief of occupational therapy. "They think it's for entertainment, but we know it's for therapy," she said. It's useful in occupational therapy, which helps patients relearn daily living skills including brushing teeth, combing hair and fastening clothes, Daugherty said. · WakeMed Health has been using Wii games at its Raleigh, N.C., hospital for patients as young as 9 "all the way up to people in their d needs relak:d ID: • AFJ! • Disability • Rcrovery from illness, injwy or SIJ:l!CIY • Dementia or meroory impainncrt that will measure patients' function "before and after this 'Wiihab,' ·as someone called it," Odds son said.

Meantime, Dr. Julio Bonis of Madrid says he has proof that playing Wii games can have physical effects of another kmd.

Bonis described hi's ailment in a letter to the New England Journal ·of · Medicine - intense pain in his right shoulder that a colleague diagnosed as acute tendonitis, a not uncommon affliction among p1ayers of real-life tennis. · Bonis said he recovered after a week of ibuprofen and no Wii, and urged doctors to be aware of Wii overuse. Still, as a Wii fan, he said in 'an e-mail that he could imagine more moderate use would be helpful in physical therapy "because of the motivation that the game can provide to the patient."

Some questions to ask homeowners are: • Are you happy with your home? • If you·have had any problems, were they fixed promptly and properly? • Would you buy another home from this builder) Some questions to ask builders are: • How long has your company been in business? . • Who do you contact for customer service after the sale is complete? • Who is responsible for correcting problems with major appliances? • Does the builder use state- of-the-art energy features? -Tnke detailed notes·on the infonnalion you receive. When you find a home you want to examine. take, notes on a number of features. The quality of cabinetry, carpeting, trimwork and paint are important features of a home. Tl\ke into consideration the design of the home as well when looking to buy. • Are there enough bedrooms and bathrooms? • Is there enough storage space? ·• Is there enough extra space for particular bobbie~ or an office or exercise room? · . , • Is the lawn large or small enough? ' Neighborhood associations arc also a key factor to buying a home. If the neighborhood has one, get a list of their rules. • Do they allow fences? • Do they allow boats or campers to be parked at the house? Service contracts arc another imponant key in buying a home. A builder will typically make iwo service calls, the first within one to four months after 'moving in, and the second around the 11 th month just before warranties on workmanship and materials expire. Bll'ying a home is a costly move that should be done with patience and caution, making sure all the imponant questions are Wlkc'd before the deal is complete.

Top ethanol producer arid .Iowa·State University team on ethanol starch research BY DIRK LAMMERS ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER • S'IOUX FALLS, S.D . . The nation's top ethanol producer is teaming with an Iowa State University researcher tn hopes of squeezing ·more ethanol out of a kernel of corn. Sioux Falls-based Poet LLC already u.ses a proces~ called BPX., which converts starch to sugar and then ferments it to ethanol without the use of heat or cooking. Poet uses the method .in 20 ()f its 22 ethanol plants and estimates it can get 3 gallons of ethanol from each bushel of corn compared with an industry standard of 2.7 gallons per bushel. Poet is working with Jaylin Jane, a carbohydrate chemist and professor in Iowa State's food science and human nutrition department, to look at differences between starches in various varieties of com. The · goal is to identify which lines of corn starches are more easily broken . down into glucose by the enzyme used for. conversion .. The glucose is then · fermented into ethanol and carbon dioxide. · "When starch is in the corn plant, it's .sometimes difficult to break down," said Mark Stowers, Poet's vice president of . research and development. "So what we're trying to under- · stand is how the starch is structured in various corn plants so that we can do a better job and more efficiently break the starch down into the sugars for the ethanol process." Jane said some starches are loosely .packed in the granule and can be easily broken into glucose. Others, especially those with different crystalline structures, prove much more difficult. "Certain corn lines are more easily susceptible to en.zyme com:ersion," she satd. . Jane said she's about four months into ' the two-year project! which is co-funded by Poet and a state economic devetorment fund: Poet said it s contributing $284,000 to the project over two years and the Grow Iowa Values Fund is contributing $149,233. "We are generating more excitin~ results every day," Jane satd Wednesday. . Stowers said the BPX process helps the company reduce energy costs, increase ethanol yields, decrease plant emissions and improve the nutrient quality of its distillers gmins, an ethanol byproduct used as cattle feed. Poet officials hope the research collaboration will improve its per-bushel ethanol yield. "I think that it's a good univc;rsity-industry partnership to solve an important question, and that is how much more ethanol can we get out of an acre of com," Stowers said. "And that has tremendous positive land implications." In a separate project, Poet is working with growers and farm equipment manufacturers to develop ways to · harvest, store and transport cobs that could one day join kernels as an alternative fuel source. Poet plans to expand its plant in · Emmetsbur~, Iowa, to produce 125 million gallons of ethanol per year - with 25 · percent coming from corn cobs and fiber. Poet is the largest U.S. ethanol producer, with 22 plants that can pump out 1.2 billion gallons of the alter- . native fuel. Additional biorefineries under construction or development will eventually add 327 million gallons of capacity. Nationally there are a total .of 142 ethanol plants, with another 58 under construction. according to the Renewable Fuels Association. ••• BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - Cuban dictator Fidel Castro's decision to relinquish power should not affect North Dakota's efforts to sell farm products to Cuba, the state's agriculture coli1missioner said. . "I don't think this is going to. have a great deal of impact, at least from the vantage point that we have had in our relations with Cuba," Roger Johnson said Wednesday during a conference call from Havana. Johnson is leading a North Dakota trade mission to Cuba this week. He said Wednesday that no sales had yet been completed. Most talks have focused on selling · dry peas, which . account for most of an estimated $30 million in North Dakota agricultural sales to Cuba in the last six years. Cubans favor field peas because they are a cheap source of protein, Johnson said. North Dakota is the nation's leading producer of dry peas, lentils and chickpeas. Soybean famters face choice: Refine for food or fuel? Biodiesel sales small.but growing BY BLAKE NICHOLSON ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER BISMARCK, N.D. One oilseed crushing plant in eastern North Dakota is switching from soybeans to canola. A few miles away, farmers are banking on a bright future with beans, with plans for a crushing plant of their own. The situation in the Red River Valley illustrates the paradoxical state of tile nation's biodiesel i[ldustry, and the decisions facing crushers over whether to refine oil for food or fuel. On one hand, only a quarter of the current production capacity is being used and the number of new plants coming on line has slowed dramatically. On the other, biodiesel &ales volume continues to rise, and government mandates call for even more biodiesel use in coming years. Northwood. Mills LLC in Northwood is not giving uf. on refining vegetable oi , but it is drastically changing its focus. Instead of crushing soybeans. for the biodiesel market, it's switching to canola for the food market. Part of the reason is a decline in the Canadian hog Industry that has ,been a primary market for the plant's soybean meal, a byproduct used ' for animal feed. General manager Clarence Leschied said the company also has soured on soybeans. "The , demand (for vegetable oil) from the biodiesel sector has just about disappeared. whereas cano)a going into the food market $till has good demand," he said. "We've just seen .the ·margins on soybeans deteriorating." Leschied said other plants also might switch from the energy sector to the food sector. "U.S. biodiesel capacity is only running at about 25 percent," he said: Amber Thurlo Pearson, a spokeswoman for the National Biodiesel Board, confirmed the percentage. She said biodiesel producers are going through "a rough patch" because of rising yegetable oil prices. But she believes many of the nation's 171 plants were built large -accounting for much of the unused produc· tion capacity - in anticipation of growth sure to come. More passenger vehicles are bemg made with engines that can burn biodiesel, an alternative to petroleum-based fuels, Pearson said. A new federal law also sets a biofuels standard of 36 billion gallons per year by 2022, a sevenfold Increase. Farmers In southeastern North Dakota are counting on continued growth as they develop a plant to CMh soy· beans and refine the oil. The Ag Plus Cooperatl ve plant would be big enough to crush up to 40 percent of the soybeans grown in the state. Co-op director Dale Beck said plant officials will decide later whether it will be more profitable to sell soybean oil to the energy or food industries. "We're looking at pri- ·marily biodiesel," he said. "Soybeans are in tight supply. Demand is very high for oil," Beck said. The March futures price for soybe\ln oil is nearly double what it was a year ago, Pearson .. said. Predictions of an increase in bipdiesel demand also have helped drive up the price of oil, she said. Leschied said demand from the food industry also is playing a role. "The food side is prepared to bid whatever it can to keep (soybean oil) from going into the energy sector," he said. Tom Lilja, executive director of the North Dakota Corn Growers Association, said the declining value of the U.S. dollar is leading to more exports of such crops as corn and soybeans, both of which can be used to· make fuel. That, in turn, leads to tighter supplies and higher prices. 'It's cheaper for countries · like China to buy," Ulja said. About 80 percent of the biodiesel manufactured in the United States is made from soybean oil. Pearson said industry officials are promoting the research and development of new feedstocks, SIJCh as algae, for biodiesel. And new biodiesel plants continue ·to come on line,. though the pace has slowed in the past year. Production ,capacity has grown fro111 85 m1Uion gallons in 2003 to the current 2.2 billion gallons. "W~ will continue to see increased biodiesel production," Pearson said. Northwood Mills, which broke ground two years ago and began operating last summer, thinks canola is the better oilseed for its situation . . "It looks a lot different in the world from when we started," Leschied said. "The dynamics have changed a whole bunch." $ Growing On YOUR Trees?

Top ethanol producer arid .Iowa·State University team on ethanol starch research BY DIRK LAMMERS ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER • S'IOUX FALLS, S.D . . The nation's top ethanol producer is teaming with an Iowa State University researcher tn hopes of squeezing ·more ethanol out of a kernel of corn. Sioux Falls-based Poet LLC already u.ses a proces~ called BPX., which converts starch to sugar and then ferments it to ethanol without the use of heat or cooking. Poet uses the method .in 20 ()f its 22 ethanol plants and estimates it can get 3 gallons of ethanol from each bushel of corn compared with an industry standard of 2.7 gallons per bushel. Poet is working with Jaylin Jane, a carbohydrate chemist and professor in Iowa State's food science and human nutrition department, to look at differences between starches in various varieties of com. The · goal is to identify which lines of corn starches are more easily broken . down into glucose by the enzyme used for. conversion .. The glucose is then · fermented into ethanol and carbon dioxide. · "When starch is in the corn plant, it's .sometimes difficult to break down," said Mark Stowers, Poet's vice president of . research and development. "So what we're trying to under- · stand is how the starch is structured in various corn plants so that we can do a better job and more efficiently break the starch down into the sugars for the ethanol process." Jane said some starches are loosely .packed in the granule and can be easily broken into glucose. Others, especially those with different crystalline structures, prove much more difficult. "Certain corn lines are more easily susceptible to en.zyme com:ersion," she satd. . Jane said she's about four months into ' the two-year project! which is co-funded by Poet and a state economic devetorment fund: Poet said it s contributing $284,000 to the project over two years and the Grow Iowa Values Fund is contributing $149,233. "We are generating more excitin~ results every day," Jane satd Wednesday. . Stowers said the BPX process helps the company reduce energy costs, increase ethanol yields, decrease plant emissions and improve the nutrient quality of its distillers gmins, an ethanol byproduct used as cattle feed. Poet officials hope the research collaboration will improve its per-bushel ethanol yield. "I think that it's a good univc;rsity-industry partnership to solve an important question, and that is how much more ethanol can we get out of an acre of com," Stowers said. "And that has tremendous positive land implications." In a separate project, Poet is working with growers and farm equipment manufacturers to develop ways to · harvest, store and transport cobs that could one day join kernels as an alternative fuel source. Poet plans to expand its plant in · Emmetsbur~, Iowa, to produce 125 million gallons of ethanol per year - with 25 · percent coming from corn cobs and fiber. Poet is the largest U.S. ethanol producer, with 22 plants that can pump out 1.2 billion gallons of the alter- . native fuel. Additional biorefineries under construction or development will eventually add 327 million gallons of capacity. Nationally there are a total .of 142 ethanol plants, with another 58 under construction. according to the Renewable Fuels Association. ••• BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - Cuban dictator Fidel Castro's decision to relinquish power should not affect North Dakota's efforts to sell farm products to Cuba, the state's agriculture coli1missioner said. . "I don't think this is going to. have a great deal of impact, at least from the vantage point that we have had in our relations with Cuba," Roger Johnson said Wednesday during a conference call from Havana. Johnson is leading a North Dakota trade mission to Cuba this week. He said Wednesday that no sales had yet been completed. Most talks have focused on selling · dry peas, which . account for most of an estimated $30 million in North Dakota agricultural sales to Cuba in the last six years. Cubans favor field peas because they are a cheap source of protein, Johnson said. North Dakota is the nation's leading producer of dry peas, lentils and chickpeas. Soybean famters face choice: Refine for food or fuel? Biodiesel sales small.but growing BY BLAKE NICHOLSON ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER BISMARCK, N.D. One oilseed crushing plant in eastern North Dakota is switching from soybeans to canola. A few miles away, farmers are banking on a bright future with beans, with plans for a crushing plant of their own. The situation in the Red River Valley illustrates the paradoxical state of tile nation's biodiesel i[ldustry, and the decisions facing crushers over whether to refine oil for food or fuel. On one hand, only a quarter of the current production capacity is being used and the number of new plants coming on line has slowed dramatically. On the other, biodiesel &ales volume continues to rise, and government mandates call for even more biodiesel use in coming years. Northwood. Mills LLC in Northwood is not giving uf. on refining vegetable oi , but it is drastically changing its focus. Instead of crushing soybeans. for the biodiesel market, it's switching to canola for the food market. Part of the reason is a decline in the Canadian hog Industry that has ,been a primary market for the plant's soybean meal, a byproduct used ' for animal feed. General manager Clarence Leschied said the company also has soured on soybeans. "The , demand (for vegetable oil) from the biodiesel sector has just about disappeared. whereas cano)a going into the food market $till has good demand," he said. "We've just seen .the ·margins on soybeans deteriorating." Leschied said other plants also might switch from the energy sector to the food sector. "U.S. biodiesel capacity is only running at about 25 percent," he said: Amber Thurlo Pearson, a spokeswoman for the National Biodiesel Board, confirmed the percentage. She said biodiesel producers are going through "a rough patch" because of rising yegetable oil prices. But she believes many of the nation's 171 plants were built large -accounting for much of the unused produc· tion capacity - in anticipation of growth sure to come. More passenger vehicles are bemg made with engines that can burn biodiesel, an alternative to petroleum-based fuels, Pearson said. A new federal law also sets a biofuels standard of 36 billion gallons per year by 2022, a sevenfold Increase. Farmers In southeastern North Dakota are counting on continued growth as they develop a plant to CMh soy· beans and refine the oil. The Ag Plus Cooperatl ve plant would be big enough to crush up to 40 percent of the soybeans grown in the state. Co-op director Dale Beck said plant officials will decide later whether it will be more profitable to sell soybean oil to the energy or food industries. "We're looking at pri- ·marily biodiesel," he said. "Soybeans are in tight supply. Demand is very high for oil," Beck said. The March futures price for soybe\ln oil is nearly double what it was a year ago, Pearson .. said. Predictions of an increase in bipdiesel demand also have helped drive up the price of oil, she said. Leschied said demand from the food industry also is playing a role. "The food side is prepared to bid whatever it can to keep (soybean oil) from going into the energy sector," he said. Tom Lilja, executive director of the North Dakota Corn Growers Association, said the declining value of the U.S. dollar is leading to more exports of such crops as corn and soybeans, both of which can be used to· make fuel. That, in turn, leads to tighter supplies and higher prices. 'It's cheaper for countries · like China to buy," Ulja said. About 80 percent of the biodiesel manufactured in the United States is made from soybean oil. Pearson said industry officials are promoting the research and development of new feedstocks, SIJCh as algae, for biodiesel. And new biodiesel plants continue ·to come on line,. though the pace has slowed in the past year. Production ,capacity has grown fro111 85 m1Uion gallons in 2003 to the current 2.2 billion gallons. "W~ will continue to see increased biodiesel production," Pearson said. Northwood Mills, which broke ground two years ago and began operating last summer, thinks canola is the better oilseed for its situation . . "It looks a lot different in the world from when we started," Leschied said. "The dynamics have changed a whole bunch." $ Growing On YOUR Trees?

The deadline for repiy briefs in · the proceedmg was due on Feb. 8 though intervenor groups the Natural Resources Defense Ohio Council, Environmental Council and Sierra Club filed a reply brief for Feb. 11, three days past the deadline. Shana .Eiselstein of the PUCO said it wasn't clear why the motion was filed past the dead Iine or if it would be accepted, though that would be up to the adll]inistrative law judges in the case. These same administrative law judges which ran the hearing will present the OPSB with the materials it will require to make its decision. The OPSB is responsible for reviewing and approving plans for the construction of new energy facilities in Ohio. Before any company can l;>uild a major utility facility like a new power plant, or an electric transmission line', or a gas transmission pipeline, the OPSB is supposed to assure that it benefits Ohio's citizens, promotes the state's economic interests; and protects the environment and land use. The post-hearing reply brief submitted on Feb. 11 by the . aforementioned inte rvenor .groups concluded by stating -AMP-Ohio "has not evaluated all of the 'probable environmental impacts' of the AMP coal plant or demonstrated that the coal plant 'represents the minimum adverse environmental impact' in light of alternatives." Based on this · conclusion, the intervenor groups asked the OPSB deny the certificate .

Teens can visit various stations to play Guitar Hero II and III, Dance Dance Revolution and Rock Band and Dance Revolution. Emily Sanders, coordinator for children's services at MCDPL, said there will also be free chips, pop and pizza for the teens who attenp. The gaming nights are financially , made possible by the Friends of the Library. Sanders said video game (light for teens has already been held at the Racine Library where 30 teens participated and at the Eastern Library where 50 teens showed up. This is the first time gaming night will visit Pomeroy and Sanders hopes it won't be the last. · Sanders said the video games might not be the traditional reason teens visit the library but it is a .reason and provides a social, constructive alternative to just "hanging out." "Hopefully by using game night it gets teens into the library and shows them there's more services they can utilize at the library," Sanders added.
