Texas - The Dallas Cowboys are headed into " the tournament" at · their worst. They couldn't even beat Detroit on a day when a loss would've given the Lions the No. I pick in the draft. ' Done in by repeated mis, takes from Tony Romo and a few more by Terence Newman, the Cowboys blew their last chance to win the NFC East with a 39,31 loss to the Lions on Sunday. Roy Williams caught a pair of touchdown passes. Mike Furrey and Mike Williams each caught one and Jason Hanson kicked four field goals, helping Detroit (3, 13) score its most points of the season and win a game , the franchise might've been better off losing. Now Oak.land gets the top overall pick and the Lions will go second. Despite owning the top wild card, Dallas (9-7) goes i!·to January having lost consecu.;le games for the 11rst time all season. The Cowboys also have dropped three of four since owning a two-game division lead in early December. All three losses were at home, guaranteeing no playoff games at Texas Stadium.

New coach Eric Mangini received a Gatorade shower just after the 2-minute warning, and a series of hugs by jubilant Jets players. Pennington urged the fans on, waving his right arm and prompting them to continue celebrating. The Jets will play next weekend at New England in a first-round matchup against the AFC's No. 3 seed.

But peopie are increasingly taking to the skies, thanks in part to the emergence of budget airlines. Adam Air is one of at least a dozen that have emerged in the country since 1999, when the industry was deregulated. The rapid expansion has led to cheap fltghts to scores of destinations around the sprawling nation, but has raised some safety concerns, since many of the airlines are small and lease planes that are decades old. In September 2005, a Booing 737 crashed after takeoff on Sumatra island. killing 143 people. In September 1997, a Garuda Airlines Airbus crashed into a jungle-covered mountain slor in Sumatra. killing al 234 people aboard. 1\vo months later, a Silk Air Boeina 737 jot crashed into a river on ~umatra, kllllna I 04 people. Adam Air, Which beaan operations In 2003, was founded by Aauna Laksono, tho speaker of Indonesia's House of Representatives and tho . company's chalnnan. Last year, one of the carrior's jets lost all communica· tion and navigation systems for four hours durina a flight between the capital of Jakarta and Makassar on Sulawesi Island, forcing the pilot to make an emergency landing. National aviation chief lchsan Tatang refused to speculate about the cause of Monday's incident but said the missing aircraft's last inspection was on Dec. 25 and thatthe plane had flown 45,371 hours. · Sunni anger over Saddam han&~ng sp~lls ~nto streets; mob breaks locks off revered Shllte shnne 1n Samarra Bv LAUREN FRAYER ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER BAGHDAD, Iraq Enraged crowds protested the hanging of Saddam Hussein across Iraq's Su~ni heartland Monday, as a mob in Samara broke the locks off a bomb-damaged Shiite shrine and marched through carrying a mock coffin and photo of the dictator. The demonstration in the Golden Dome, shattered in a bombing by Sunni extremists I0 months ago. suggests that many Sunni Arabs may now more actively support the small number of Sunni militants fighting the country's Shiite-dominaled gov,ernment. The Feb. 22 bombing of the shrine triggered the current cycle of retaliatory attacks between Sunnis and Shiia, in the form of daily bombings, kidnappings and murders. Monday 's protest came on a day that saw the U.S. military kill six Iraqis during a raid on the offtces of a prominent Sunni political fifure, who was suspected o giving ai-Qaida in Iraq . fighters sanctuary. Until Saddam's execution Saturday. most Sunnis sympathized with militants but avoided taking a direct role in the sectarian conflict despite attacks by Shiite militia that have ki!led thousands of Sunnis vr driven them from their homes. The current Sunni protests, which appear to be building. could signal a spreading militancy. Sunnis were not only outraged by Saddam's hurried execution, just four days after an appeals court upheld his conviction and sentence. Many were also incensed by the unruly scene in the execution chamber, captured on video, in which Saddam was taunted with chants of "Muqtada, Muqtada, Muqtada." The chants referred to Muqtada ai-Sa~r. a firebrand Shiite cleric who runs one of Iraq 's most violent religious militias. He is a major power behind the government of Shiite Prime Minister Nouri ai-Maliki. Many Sunnis are aho upset that Saddam was put to death the day that Sunni celebrations began for Eid ai-Ahda, a major Muslim festival. The judge who fiTSI presided over the case that resulted ill Saddam 's death sentence said the former dictator's execution at the start of Eid was illegal according to Iraqi law, and contradicted Islamic custom. · The law states that "no verdict should implemented during· the ofticial holidays or religious festivals," said Jud~e Rizgar Mohammed Arrun, a Kurd. Rizgar presided over Saddam 's trial on charges he killed 148 Shiite men and boys in Dujail, north of Baghdad, in a botched assassination. attempt in 1982. The judge was removed from the case after Shiite complaints that he was too lenient. In a Sunni ne,ighborhood in northern Baghdad, hundreds of demonstrators mourned the executed leader. Some praised the Baath Party, the outlawed nationalist group that uf\der Saddam cemented Sunni Arab dominance of Iraq. "The Baath · party and Baathists still exist in Iraq. and nobody can marginalize it," said Samir al-Obaidi, 48, who attended a Saddam memorial in the Azarniyah neighborhood. ' In Dor, 77 miles north of Baghdad, hundreds more took to tbe streets to attend tbe dedication of a giant mosaic of Saddam. Children carried toy guns and men fired real weapons into the air. Mourners at 11 mosque in Saddam's hometown of Tlkrit slaughtered sheep as a sacrifice for their former leader. 1be mosque's walls were lined with condolence cards from tribes in southem Iraq and Jordan who were unable to travel to the memorial. Saddam 's eldest daughter briefly attended a protest Monday in Jordan - her first public ap)J\:arance since her father was hanged. "God bless you. and I thank you for honoring Saddam, the martyr," said Raghad Saddam Hussein, ~cording to two witnesses. She addressed members of the Professional Associations - an umbrella group of unions representing doctors, engineers and lawyers - in the group's office parking lot in west Amman. In the midst of the protests, U.S. forces contjnued operations in Iraq. Six Iraqis were killed in a U.S.-led raid on the Baghdad otlices of a top Sunni politician, Saleh alMutlaq. The U.S. military .and Iraqi police said they suspected the offices were being used as . an ai-Qaida safe house. AI-Mullaq ts a senior member of the National Dialogue Front,. which holds II of the ~ 275 seats in Iraq's parliament. U.S. forces said they took on' heavy frre from automatic weapons and rocket-propelled grenades as they sought to enter the building. Ground troops were backed by helicopters that "enga~ed the enemy · with preciston point target machine gun ftre," the'rnilitary said. It was unclear whether the deaths resulted from the ground assault or ftre from U.S. helicopters. The Daily Sentinel JERUSALEM - Israeli officials on Monday denied claims that they were close to a deal that would secure the release of a captured soldier held by Palestinian militants, citing excessive demands by the Islamic Hamas. Expectations have been buildmg in the media that an announcement could be made at an Israel-Egypt summit on Thursday. but Israeli officials satd no agreement was near. Ardb media outlets have been reporting for days that a deal to free the captured Israeli soldier is imminent, and Palestinian ·officials have disclosed specific details, saying Israel would carry out a scaled release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in return for the soldier. The fate of Cpl. Gilad Shalit has emerged as a formidable obstacle to Israel's goal of boosting the moderate Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas. Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Oln\ert met Abbas on Dec. 23 and pledged a series of gestures, but the important step of freeing Palestinian prisoners has been held up by fruitless attempts by Egypt to broker the Israeli soldier's release. One of the agreed steps was implemented Monday. when the Israeli military began easing security checks at crossing points, and Palestinians in the northern West Bank said traffic was flowina more freely, but hundreds of cars wore stuck at a checkpoint at tho entrance to Joncho after niahtfall. Olmert mot Monday mornlna with top security officials, lncludlna Ofer Dokel, who Is In cllarae of prisoner neaotlatlons.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the prisoner negotiations. Palestinian officials in Cairo said Egypt is leaning on Hamas to lower its demands so they wi II be acceptable to Israel and so that Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak can announce a deal at the summit Thursday, the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the negotiations are secret. Ahmed Yousef, a top aide to Haniyeh, told The Associated Press he expected Israel to first release a few prisoners as a goodwill gesture, after which the soldier would be handed over to the Egyptians. Israel would follow with a larger release of SOO prisoners, ·and then another 500 after Sl\alit returns to Israel, he said. A main sticking point could be the reported Hamas insis.tence on picking which prisoners would be freed, among the approximately 9,100 Paleshnian security prisoners Israel is holding. Israel has generally refused to free Palestinians who took part in attacks that killed Israelis. Separately. in Gaza City, Palestinian gunmen abducted a photographer for the French news agency Agence France Presse at gunpoint and sped away in a car, the agency and Palestinian security officials said. AFP identified the photo~rapher as Jaime Razun, 50, from Peru. There was no immediate claim of responsibility. It was the latest in a string of kidnappings of foreigners' in Gaza m recent months. Most have been carried out by dlsaruntlod workers seoklna payment of lona overdue salaries or splinter militant aroups. The vlctlms have usually been released unharmed within hours. After niahtfall, clashes erupted between rival Fatah and Hamas gunmen in , northern Gaza. witnesses and security officials said. At least two people were wounded and several kidnapped by the warring factions. u.s. death toll in Iraqre~ches 3,000 BY MUUNE JEUNEK ASSOCIATED PflESS WRITER WASHINGTON - The day after Saddam Hussein's execution, the death toll for Americans killed in the Iraq war · reached 3,000 as President Bush struggles to salvage a military campaign that has scant public support. The death of a Thxas soldier, · announced Sunday by the Pentagon, comes as the administmtion seeks to overhaul its strategy for a conflict that shows little sign of abating. The tally of 3,000 members of the U.S. military ldlled was a figure compiled by The Associated Press since the war's beginning in March 2003. In large pan ~ause of discontent with the course of the war, voters gave Democrats control of the. new Congress that convenes this week. Democrats have pledged to focus on the war and Bush:s conduct of it. Three tllousand deaths are tiny compared with casualties 1 in other protracted wars America has fought in the last century. There were SS,OOO Americans killed in the Vietnam War, 36,000 in the Korean conflict, 405,000 in World War II and 116,000 in World War I, according to Defense Department figures. Even so, the steadily mounting i'oll underscores the relentless violence tbe massive U.S. investment in lives and money - surpassing $350 billion - has yet to tame. A Pentagon report on lrctq said in December the conflict now is more a struggle between Sunni and Shiite armed groups ''fighting for religious, political and economic influence," with the insurgency and foreign terrorist campatgns "a backdrop." From mid-August to midNovember, the weekly average number of attacks in 'the cOU:Otry increased 22 percent ftom the previous three months. The worst violence was in Baghdad and in the western province of Anbat, long the focus of activity by Smmi insurgents.

The demonstration in the Golden Dome, shattered in a bombing by Sunni extremists I0 months ago. suggests that many Sunni Arabs may now more actively support the small number of Sunni militants fighting the country's Shiite-dominaled gov,ernment. The Feb. 22 bombing of the shrine triggered the current cycle of retaliatory attacks between Sunnis and Shiia, in the form of daily bombings, kidnappings and murders. Monday 's protest came on a day that saw the U.S. military kill six Iraqis during a raid on the offtces of a prominent Sunni political fifure, who was suspected o giving ai-Qaida in Iraq . fighters sanctuary. Until Saddam's execution Saturday. most Sunnis sympathized with militants but avoided taking a direct role in the sectarian conflict despite attacks by Shiite militia that have ki!led thousands of Sunnis vr driven them from their homes. The current Sunni protests, which appear to be building. could signal a spreading militancy. Sunnis were not only outraged by Saddam's hurried execution, just four days after an appeals court upheld his conviction and sentence. Many were also incensed by the unruly scene in the execution chamber, captured on video, in which Saddam was taunted with chants of "Muqtada, Muqtada, Muqtada." The chants referred to Muqtada ai-Sa~r. a firebrand Shiite cleric who runs one of Iraq 's most violent religious militias. He is a major power behind the government of Shiite Prime Minister Nouri ai-Maliki. Many Sunnis are aho upset that Saddam was put to death the day that Sunni celebrations began for Eid ai-Ahda, a major Muslim festival. The judge who fiTSI presided over the case that resulted ill Saddam 's death sentence said the former dictator's execution at the start of Eid was illegal according to Iraqi law, and contradicted Islamic custom. · The law states that "no verdict should implemented during· the ofticial holidays or religious festivals," said Jud~e Rizgar Mohammed Arrun, a Kurd. Rizgar presided over Saddam 's trial on charges he killed 148 Shiite men and boys in Dujail, north of Baghdad, in a botched assassination. attempt in 1982. The judge was removed from the case after Shiite complaints that he was too lenient. In a Sunni ne,ighborhood in northern Baghdad, hundreds of demonstrators mourned the executed leader. Some praised the Baath Party, the outlawed nationalist group that uf\der Saddam cemented Sunni Arab dominance of Iraq. "The Baath · party and Baathists still exist in Iraq. and nobody can marginalize it," said Samir al-Obaidi, 48, who attended a Saddam memorial in the Azarniyah neighborhood. ' In Dor, 77 miles north of Baghdad, hundreds more took to tbe streets to attend tbe dedication of a giant mosaic of Saddam. Children carried toy guns and men fired real weapons into the air. Mourners at 11 mosque in Saddam's hometown of Tlkrit slaughtered sheep as a sacrifice for their former leader. 1be mosque's walls were lined with condolence cards from tribes in southem Iraq and Jordan who were unable to travel to the memorial. Saddam 's eldest daughter briefly attended a protest Monday in Jordan - her first public ap)J\:arance since her father was hanged. "God bless you. and I thank you for honoring Saddam, the martyr," said Raghad Saddam Hussein, ~cording to two witnesses. She addressed members of the Professional Associations - an umbrella group of unions representing doctors, engineers and lawyers - in the group's office parking lot in west Amman. In the midst of the protests, U.S. forces contjnued operations in Iraq. Six Iraqis were killed in a U.S.-led raid on the Baghdad otlices of a top Sunni politician, Saleh alMutlaq. The U.S. military .and Iraqi police said they suspected the offices were being used as . an ai-Qaida safe house. AI-Mullaq ts a senior member of the National Dialogue Front,. which holds II of the ~ 275 seats in Iraq's parliament. U.S. forces said they took on' heavy frre from automatic weapons and rocket-propelled grenades as they sought to enter the building. Ground troops were backed by helicopters that "enga~ed the enemy · with preciston point target machine gun ftre," the'rnilitary said. It was unclear whether the deaths resulted from the ground assault or ftre from U.S. helicopters. The Daily Sentinel JERUSALEM - Israeli officials on Monday denied claims that they were close to a deal that would secure the release of a captured soldier held by Palestinian militants, citing excessive demands by the Islamic Hamas. Expectations have been buildmg in the media that an announcement could be made at an Israel-Egypt summit on Thursday. but Israeli officials satd no agreement was near. Ardb media outlets have been reporting for days that a deal to free the captured Israeli soldier is imminent, and Palestinian ·officials have disclosed specific details, saying Israel would carry out a scaled release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in return for the soldier. The fate of Cpl. Gilad Shalit has emerged as a formidable obstacle to Israel's goal of boosting the moderate Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas. Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Oln\ert met Abbas on Dec. 23 and pledged a series of gestures, but the important step of freeing Palestinian prisoners has been held up by fruitless attempts by Egypt to broker the Israeli soldier's release. One of the agreed steps was implemented Monday. when the Israeli military began easing security checks at crossing points, and Palestinians in the northern West Bank said traffic was flowina more freely, but hundreds of cars wore stuck at a checkpoint at tho entrance to Joncho after niahtfall. Olmert mot Monday mornlna with top security officials, lncludlna Ofer Dokel, who Is In cllarae of prisoner neaotlatlons.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the prisoner negotiations. Palestinian officials in Cairo said Egypt is leaning on Hamas to lower its demands so they wi II be acceptable to Israel and so that Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak can announce a deal at the summit Thursday, the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the negotiations are secret. Ahmed Yousef, a top aide to Haniyeh, told The Associated Press he expected Israel to first release a few prisoners as a goodwill gesture, after which the soldier would be handed over to the Egyptians. Israel would follow with a larger release of SOO prisoners, ·and then another 500 after Sl\alit returns to Israel, he said. A main sticking point could be the reported Hamas insis.tence on picking which prisoners would be freed, among the approximately 9,100 Paleshnian security prisoners Israel is holding. Israel has generally refused to free Palestinians who took part in attacks that killed Israelis. Separately. in Gaza City, Palestinian gunmen abducted a photographer for the French news agency Agence France Presse at gunpoint and sped away in a car, the agency and Palestinian security officials said. AFP identified the photo~rapher as Jaime Razun, 50, from Peru. There was no immediate claim of responsibility. It was the latest in a string of kidnappings of foreigners' in Gaza m recent months. Most have been carried out by dlsaruntlod workers seoklna payment of lona overdue salaries or splinter militant aroups. The vlctlms have usually been released unharmed within hours. After niahtfall, clashes erupted between rival Fatah and Hamas gunmen in , northern Gaza. witnesses and security officials said. At least two people were wounded and several kidnapped by the warring factions. u.s. death toll in Iraqre~ches 3,000 BY MUUNE JEUNEK ASSOCIATED PflESS WRITER WASHINGTON - The day after Saddam Hussein's execution, the death toll for Americans killed in the Iraq war · reached 3,000 as President Bush struggles to salvage a military campaign that has scant public support. The death of a Thxas soldier, · announced Sunday by the Pentagon, comes as the administmtion seeks to overhaul its strategy for a conflict that shows little sign of abating. The tally of 3,000 members of the U.S. military ldlled was a figure compiled by The Associated Press since the war's beginning in March 2003. In large pan ~ause of discontent with the course of the war, voters gave Democrats control of the. new Congress that convenes this week. Democrats have pledged to focus on the war and Bush:s conduct of it. Three tllousand deaths are tiny compared with casualties 1 in other protracted wars America has fought in the last century. There were SS,OOO Americans killed in the Vietnam War, 36,000 in the Korean conflict, 405,000 in World War II and 116,000 in World War I, according to Defense Department figures. Even so, the steadily mounting i'oll underscores the relentless violence tbe massive U.S. investment in lives and money - surpassing $350 billion - has yet to tame. A Pentagon report on lrctq said in December the conflict now is more a struggle between Sunni and Shiite armed groups ''fighting for religious, political and economic influence," with the insurgency and foreign terrorist campatgns "a backdrop." From mid-August to midNovember, the weekly average number of attacks in 'the cOU:Otry increased 22 percent ftom the previous three months. The worst violence was in Baghdad and in the western province of Anbat, long the focus of activity by Smmi insurgents.

He logs on as soon as he comes home. At one point he was online nine hours a day. Most nights, I go to bed alone. I threatened to lea\'e him . and that helped briefly, but he returned to his game. I now admit defeat. I no longer know my husband and am not ,ure I love him . I resent that he has chosen a videogame over his family . He has no clue. He is too absorbed in his game to realize he has lost me. I am hanging on now just for the kids. - Married but Still Alone Dear Married: Our readers had a l•aried response to this letter. Most said to throw out the computer or divorce him, others suggested "Widow " learn the game, but we think that might sim ply create two neglectful parents.

Gators coach Urban Meyer and Ohio State offensive coordinator Jim Bollman are nativ-es of Ashtabula, a city of 21,000 people about 60 miles ea~t of Cleveland. "It's helpin~ put us back on the map, ' said Tom Penna, basketball coach at Sts. John & Paul and a classmate of Meyer's who remains In touch with him. "The whole city Is talking about Urban and this game." Tho exposure comes at a good time for a city that has struggled with a declining population, vacant storefronts downtown and poilution so bad in the Ashtabula River that people have been told not to eat fish caught in a two-mile section. The U.S. Census in 2000 revealed 21.4 percent of the city 's residents live in poverty and median household income was $27,354. "It was a great place to grow up and go to school," Bollman told The Columbus Dispatch for a story published Sunday. "The economy was much stronger then. Hopefully, they can tum it around," Bollman, 52, graduated in 1973 from the now abandoned Harbor High School. The city wants to use a $50 million project to dredge the river that should be completed this fall as a catalyst to build its tourism industry. City manager Anthony · Cantagallo expects tourism generated more than $300 million in Ashtabula County In 2006.

Heavy storms rava~ed the area, including Ohio s only national park. The Cuyahoga Valley National Park, which is homo to 22 miles of the Cuyahoga River plus its tributaries, has endured expensive damages to its scenic rail· road, towpath trail and other amenities from severe storms In recent years . Public officials now arc deciding how to react to the affects of the elimination of trees that once slowed raindrops and pavement that keeps the land from absorbing water, instead sending it to swollen rivers and overtaxed pipes. Three communities Brecksville, Broadview Heights and North Royalton - are developing a plan to adopt requirements for how far homes must be set back from a stream and to encourage wetlands as flood protection. In flood-weary Pains ville, 80 condominiums were destroyed by high water that forced re scuers to pluck residents from rooftops. Official s want millions of dollars in tax money to buy out nearly I 00 homeowners to permanently remove resident s from the area in case of another heavy storm. North Royalton Mayor Cathy Luks . said the city also wants new tax money to buy flood-prone properties, especially in areas hit hardest over the summer. . The Federal Emergency Managel'l)ent Agency has given S12 million to more !han 6.000 propeny owners in the region, and the U.S. Small Business Administration has loaned $30 million to I ,400 businesses and homeowners.

In recent months, two extensively documented reports from New Jersey's Seton Hall Law School, based entirely on Defense Department data, rebut the admiuistration 's contention - e~emplified by departed Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld - that most of the . detainees "are the best-trained, most vicious killers on the face of the Earth." Researched and written by law professor Mark .

Of the remaining detainees, 40 percent have no definitive connection with AI Qaeda at all." As for those picked up in Afghanistan. "86 !X:rcenl were arrested by etther Pakistan or the Northern Alliance and turned over to United Stales custody."

Gators coach Urban Meyer and Ohio State offensive coordinator Jim Bollman are nativ-es of Ashtabula, a city of 21,000 people about 60 miles ea~t of Cleveland. "It's helpin~ put us back on the map, ' said Tom Penna, basketball coach at Sts. John & Paul and a classmate of Meyer's who remains In touch with him. "The whole city Is talking about Urban and this game." Tho exposure comes at a good time for a city that has struggled with a declining population, vacant storefronts downtown and poilution so bad in the Ashtabula River that people have been told not to eat fish caught in a two-mile section. The U.S. Census in 2000 revealed 21.4 percent of the city 's residents live in poverty and median household income was $27,354. "It was a great place to grow up and go to school," Bollman told The Columbus Dispatch for a story published Sunday. "The economy was much stronger then. Hopefully, they can tum it around," Bollman, 52, graduated in 1973 from the now abandoned Harbor High School. The city wants to use a $50 million project to dredge the river that should be completed this fall as a catalyst to build its tourism industry. City manager Anthony · Cantagallo expects tourism generated more than $300 million in Ashtabula County In 2006. The idea Is to build on the 15 wineries and 16 covered bridges helping revitalize the county to !iring people downtown and beyond the harbor area, which Includes a maritime museum and an Underground Railroad museum.

Heavy storms rava~ed the area, including Ohio s only national park. The Cuyahoga Valley National Park, which is homo to 22 miles of the Cuyahoga River plus its tributaries, has endured expensive damages to its scenic rail· road, towpath trail and other amenities from severe storms In recent years . Public officials now arc deciding how to react to the affects of the elimination of trees that once slowed raindrops and pavement that keeps the land from absorbing water, instead sending it to swollen rivers and overtaxed pipes. Three communities Brecksville, Broadview Heights and North Royalton - are developing a plan to adopt requirements for how far homes must be set back from a stream and to encourage wetlands as flood protection. In flood-weary Pains ville, 80 condominiums were destroyed by high water that forced re scuers to pluck residents from rooftops. Official s want millions of dollars in tax money to buy out nearly I 00 homeowners to permanently remove resident s from the area in case of another heavy storm. North Royalton Mayor Cathy Luks . said the city also wants new tax money to buy flood-prone properties, especially in areas hit hardest over the summer. . The Federal Emergency Managel'l)ent Agency has given S12 million to more !han 6.000 propeny owners in the region, and the U.S. Small Business Administration has loaned $30 million to I ,400 businesses and homeowners. Local governments have spent $10 million so far to replace bridges, cui vert> and washed-out roads . Brecksville Mayor Jerry Hruby said storm-water management was not a regional issue when many cities' storm sewers were built in · the 1940s and 1950s.

The two lllOSt obvious are chall engers Indianapol is and New Eng land (both 12-4). That 's because of the Peyton Manning/Marvin Harri son- led Colts offense and the Patriots' three Super Bowl wins in the past five seasons. A team coached by Bill Belichiek and quarterbacked by Tom Brady can beat anyone anywhere at any time . But it's hard to see the Colts going all the way with a defense that allowed 173 yards rushmg a game . Larry Johnson of the Chiefs (9-7) may get at least that next Saturday in a game that could resemble a matchup three years ago in Kansas City - the Colts won 38-31 and there were no punts. Sunday's AFC wild-card game features the Jets ( 106) at the Patriots, the third meeting between the estranged mentor and pupil , Belichick and 35year-old Enc Mangini . The Jets won 17-14 in Foxborough on Nov . 12 and will tell you they are not a "just ~lad to be here" team. That s true : they're solid, and pupil might even beat mentor again. But if he does, don't look for the Jets to get beyond the Ravens or Chargers. If the Patriots win, it's another story, although the lack of a No. I receiver will probably hurt them down ·the line. NFC Start from the bottom by dismissing the Giants (88), who will lose in Philadelphia, where they won the second week of the season. That was when they were a pretty good team . Now they' re a lessthan-avera~e team with a lot of injunes and no chemistry among the healthy guys. Nice for Tiki Barber that he played wonderfully in Washington last week. Now he can go off to TV. although he'll probably get less face time there than he did as he celebrated his retirement for the last I 0 weeks of the season.

Any of the 12 flawed teams made it have at least an out side chance of getling to the Super Bowl. And perhaps wmning it. OK , realistically, drop the plummeting Giants and : Cowboys and probably the Chi efs, who were a bit lucky to get in . And make San Diego the favori te because it 's the least fl awed, even though it is going in with a quarterback in his first season as a starter and a coac h who has a career playoff record of 5-12. Chicago is the top-seeded team in the NFC. Its quarterback, Rex Gross man , had as many interceptions returned for touchdown s against the Packers on Sunday night as he had completions (two . each). And he threw in another pick for good measure. Pa ~ser rating for the half he played : Zero. Nil. Nada. Want a favorite in the NFC ? Try Philadelphia, which has won five straight and took the NFC East, which has three of the NFC's six playoff teams. (All that means is that the East is less bad than the rest of the conference) AFC The favorites have to be San Diego (14-2) and Baltimore ( 13-3), who will rest the first week. They deserve it. The Clilargers are the best team in"'i'the league by far and have enough weapons on both offense (LaDainian Tomlinson and Antonio G.ates) and defense (Shawne Merriman, Jamal Williams, and a bunch of solid supporters) to match up against anyone. That makes quarterback Philip Rivers and coach Marty Schouenheimer the question marks. They ' ll probably be at least OK Scholtenheimer now laughs when anyone refers to "Martyball," the conservative, take-no-chances approach that may be the reason he's lost so much in the postseason. That 's how the Chargers lost to the Ravens in Baltimore on Oct. I. Schottenheimer reined in Rivers, tried to sit on a lead, and went down 16-13 on a late drive engineered by Steve McNair.

I ~mk he s done a. very showcase new stadium with high expectations. Mora, whose father Jim was a longtime NFL coach. was a 49ers assistant when he was hired by Atlanta in 2004. The Falcons went to the conference title game that season, losing at Philadelphia, but then were 8-8 and 7-9. In the last two seasons, they collapsed in the second half of the schedule, going 4- 13 combined. "I'm proud of the many things we accomplished here over the last three years ... although our main goal was to bring a Super Bowl back home to the great fans of Atlanta, and we fell short in that area," Mora said. "If anything, I think this experience has made me a better coach, although I don't think circumstances always allow that to be seen." Mora hurt himself by not fully developing Michael Vick at quarterback, having few reliable receivers, and not winning with the league's best rushing game. His clubs also were ravaged by injuries, particularly on defense. But Mora didn't help his situation by saying on a radio show that his "dream job" was to coach his alma mater, the University of Washington - even though the school has a coach, Tyrone Willingham. Mora said he was kidding, but Falcons owner Arthur Blank was not amused. "I obviously was very disappointed in those comments," Blank said. "I spoke to him about it, and he took responsibility for it. He felt badly about it and he apologiled to the Atlanta. He has a real fondness for the community." But Mora will have to find a new community now. affiliate WSYX-TV. Most of the customers affected are in northwest and southeast portions of the state, and central Ohio' s P1ckaway, Licking, Fayette and Marion counties. The television stations also carry the popular reality hit "American Idol" and popular dramas "Grey's Anatomy" and "24". Those customers formerly subscribed to Adelphia. Time Warner bought some of the company's services last summer. Kni~ht summoned an Assoctated Press reporter after the news conference because he was upset that he'd forBotten to thank Dean Smtih, whose record he broke. He also had a partmg piece of advice. "You make damn sure you put Frank Sinatra's song in your article," Knight said. Earlier. he explained why "My Way" was so fitting. "I've siml,'IY tried to do what I thmk is best," Knight said. "Regrets? Sure. Just like the song. I have re~rets . I wish I could done t~uigs better at times. I wish I would have had a better answer, a better way, at times.' But just like he said, I did it my way and when I look back on it, I don't think my way was all that bad." Th~ celebration began with as much relief over the win as the fact Knight got the record on his second try. The game wasn't decided until a long 3-pointer by New Mellico's J.R. Giddens bounced off the rim at the buzzer. Red and black confelti fell and the song played.' . There were speeches by Knight and administrators, plus videotaped tributes from Smith, Duke's Mike Krzyzewski and Texas' Rick Barnes, and statements from several NBA coaches who played for Knight. He also received two trophies and the game ball; a banner was unfurled marking this achievement. "You are the best there's been," said ever Krzyzewski, who played for Knight and s"rved as his assistant. "I'm so glad you've been my mentor, you've been my coach and you've been my friend." Knight's career record is 880-354. He recently a~reed to a contract extenston throush the 20 I0-11 season, whach doesn't bode well for anyone hopin~ to break his record. Constder this: Krzyzewski has 765 wins and is 59; he' ll be 64 in 20 II and might still be I 00 wins behind. yellow plastic markers to mdicate possible evidence. Saccomano said he spoke with coach Mike Shanahan and others in the organization. Hours earlier, the Broncos lost to San Francisco 26-23 in overtime. "Complete shock. We're speechless. It takes words away," Saccomano said. The previous active NFL player to die was Thomas Herrion of San Francisco. He had a heart attack following an exhibition game in Denver on Aug. 20, 2005. Players and coaches were off Monday and were scheduled to meet Tuesday before heading home for the offseason. straight plays, including four consecutive completions that led to the game's first touchdown and a I0-3 lead. After a three-and-out. Booty moved the Trojans 70 yards, capping it with· a 22yard pass to Jarrett, who easily made the catch over Morgan Trent and celebrated by pretending he was shooting hoops. Cushing got another sack and Jackson recovered the ensuing fumble on the next drive, which led to a field goal and 19-3 lead. From there. the teams went back and forth, which gave Jarrett the chance to pad some stats and impress the NFL scouts, who were certainly watching him fashion a successful finish to a frustrating and injuryplagued year. Knight adp1its the record is a byproduct of longevity. The ultimate standard of college basketball coaching excellence is the 10 national titles won by UCLA's John Wooden, all in a 12· year span. Also worth noting: Tennessee women 's coach Pat Summilt has won the most NCAA games, 925; and Harry Statham of NAIA McKendree College in Lebanon, Ill. , has won the most men's games at a four-year college, 925. Tony Danridge led New Mexico (11-4) with 17 points and Giddens had 14. Jay Jackson and Martin Zeno led Tech with 22 points each. www.mydallyeentlnel.com The Daily Sen tinel • Page 83 ~rtbune --Sentinel CLASSIFIED Galli a county OH In One Week With Us classlfled@!~~!:~ribune.com REACH OVER 285,000 PROSPECTS PLUS YOUR AD NOW ONLINE Websjtes: www.mydailytribune.com www.mydailysentlnel.com www.myda1lyregister.com To Place mrtbune Sentinel l\egtster Your Ad, (740) 446-2342 (740) 992-2156 (304) 675-1333 Call Today... orFaxTo 446-3008 ' ' OrFaxTo(740)992·2157 /Jeatl~irlhf Word Ads Dally ln* Column; :a:oo p.m. Monday-Prldey for lnaertlon ' Monday thru Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. HOW I0 WRITE AN AD •POLICIES* Olllo Vallty Publlohlng rtMrvtt lht right to IIIII, re)lot or cancel ,ny ad 11 any lime.

The two lllOSt obvious are chall engers Indianapol is and New Eng land (both 12-4). That 's because of the Peyton Manning/Marvin Harri son- led Colts offense and the Patriots' three Super Bowl wins in the past five seasons. A team coached by Bill Belichiek and quarterbacked by Tom Brady can beat anyone anywhere at any time . But it's hard to see the Colts going all the way with a defense that allowed 173 yards rushmg a game . Larry Johnson of the Chiefs (9-7) may get at least that next Saturday in a game that could resemble a matchup three years ago in Kansas City - the Colts won 38-31 and there were no punts. Sunday's AFC wild-card game features the Jets ( 106) at the Patriots, the third meeting between the estranged mentor and pupil , Belichick and 35year-old Enc Mangini . The Jets won 17-14 in Foxborough on Nov . 12 and will tell you they are not a "just ~lad to be here" team. That s true : they're solid, and pupil might even beat mentor again. But if he does, don't look for the Jets to get beyond the Ravens or Chargers. If the Patriots win, it's another story, although the lack of a No. I receiver will probably hurt them down ·the line. NFC Start from the bottom by dismissing the Giants (88), who will lose in Philadelphia, where they won the second week of the season. That was when they were a pretty good team . Now they' re a lessthan-avera~e team with a lot of injunes and no chemistry among the healthy guys. Nice for Tiki Barber that he played wonderfully in Washington last week. Now he can go off to TV. although he'll probably get less face time there than he did as he celebrated his retirement for the last I 0 weeks of the season. Most likely dismiss Dallas (9-7), which might win at Seattle (9-7) because the Seahawks will be without their starting cornerbacks. But opponents are figurin~ out QB Tony Ramo - 1f Detroit can l\o it, think of what bet- you look at the three years of wins and losses, we didn 't · win enough games," said Cardinals vice president and general counsel Michael Bidwill, son of owner Bill Bidwill.

Bidwill .believes it won't be difficult to find a replacement. and he identified six, including former Packers coach Mike Sherman, now the assistant head coach of the Houston Texans. Sherman will be in Tempe, Ariz., to interview on Thursday, vice president for football operations Rod Graves said.

Any of the 12 flawed teams made it have at least an out side chance of getling to the Super Bowl. And perhaps wmning it. OK , realistically, drop the plummeting Giants and : Cowboys and probably the Chi efs, who were a bit lucky to get in . And make San Diego the favori te because it 's the least fl awed, even though it is going in with a quarterback in his first season as a starter and a coac h who has a career playoff record of 5-12. Chicago is the top-seeded team in the NFC. Its quarterback, Rex Gross man , had as many interceptions returned for touchdown s against the Packers on Sunday night as he had completions (two . each). And he threw in another pick for good measure. Pa ~ser rating for the half he played : Zero. Nil. Nada. Want a favorite in the NFC ? Try Philadelphia, which has won five straight and took the NFC East, which has three of the NFC's six playoff teams. (All that means is that the East is less bad than the rest of the conference) AFC The favorites have to be San Diego (14-2) and Baltimore ( 13-3), who will rest the first week. They deserve it. The Clilargers are the best team in"'i'the league by far and have enough weapons on both offense (LaDainian Tomlinson and Antonio G.ates) and defense (Shawne Merriman, Jamal Williams, and a bunch of solid supporters) to match up against anyone. That makes quarterback Philip Rivers and coach Marty Schouenheimer the question marks. They ' ll probably be at least OK Scholtenheimer now laughs when anyone refers to "Martyball," the conservative, take-no-chances approach that may be the reason he's lost so much in the postseason. That 's how the Chargers lost to the Ravens in Baltimore on Oct. I. Schottenheimer reined in Rivers, tried to sit on a lead, and went down 16-13 on a late drive engineered by Steve McNair. Marty now trusts Rivers. although his young QB hasn't played well down the stretch and hurt his right foot against Arizona on Sunday. Still , if they ter teams will do.

He jokingly tapped the chin of the J?layer whose chin he had Jerked earlier this season and told aU his players, "If you guys still love me after everything I say to you and everything I put you through, that's a hell of a compli,ment to tne." Not interested in answering reporters' questions, Knight instead went on a trip down memory lane that was filled with anecdotes and name-dropping, from parts of Ohto. Some customers had worried the Sinclair-owned Fox affiliate WTIE-TV, which will carry the game, would be blacked out if a deal was not reached before the contract expired Sunday. Both businesses say they hope to conclude a longterm agreement on how much the cable company would pay to air Sinclair stations before the extension expires. The contract also covers the Sinclair-owned ABC the famous such as Red Auerbach, Pete Newell and Clair Bee to the obscure, such as Jake Pryne, the bus driver at Army when Knight was 24 and the nation's youngest coach. He seemed close to tears at times. Though none fell, he backed away from the microphone a couple of times while on the court, seemingly unable to speak. His eyes moistened while talking ·to reporters. In the coaches ' locker room later, Knight was asked"whether his emotions got the best of him.

The Falcons went to the conference title game that season, losing at Philadelphia, but then were 8-8 and 7-9. In the last two seasons, they collapsed in the second half of the schedule, going 4- 13 combined. "I'm proud of the many things we accomplished here over the last three years ... although our main goal was to bring a Super Bowl back home to the great fans of Atlanta, and we fell short in that area," Mora said. "If anything, I think this experience has made me a better coach, although I don't think circumstances always allow that to be seen." Mora hurt himself by not fully developing Michael Vick at quarterback, having few reliable receivers, and not winning with the league's best rushing game. His clubs also were ravaged by injuries, particularly on defense. But Mora didn't help his situation by saying on a radio show that his "dream job" was to coach his alma mater, the University of Washington - even though the school has a coach, Tyrone Willingham. Mora said he was kidding, but Falcons owner Arthur Blank was not amused. "I obviously was very disappointed in those comments," Blank said. "I spoke to him about it, and he took responsibility for it. He felt badly about it and he apologiled to the Atlanta. He has a real fondness for the community." But Mora will have to find a new community now. affiliate WSYX-TV. Most of the customers affected are in northwest and southeast portions of the state, and central Ohio' s P1ckaway, Licking, Fayette and Marion counties. The television stations also carry the popular reality hit "American Idol" and popular dramas "Grey's Anatomy" and "24". Those customers formerly subscribed to Adelphia. Time Warner bought some of the company's services last summer. Kni~ht summoned an Assoctated Press reporter after the news conference because he was upset that he'd forBotten to thank Dean Smtih, whose record he broke. He also had a partmg piece of advice. "You make damn sure you put Frank Sinatra's song in your article," Knight said. Earlier. he explained why "My Way" was so fitting. "I've siml,'IY tried to do what I thmk is best," Knight said. "Regrets? Sure. Just like the song. I have re~rets . I wish I could done t~uigs better at times. I wish I would have had a better answer, a better way, at times.' But just like he said, I did it my way and when I look back on it, I don't think my way was all that bad." Th~ celebration began with as much relief over the win as the fact Knight got the record on his second try. The game wasn't decided until a long 3-pointer by New Mellico's J.R. Giddens bounced off the rim at the buzzer. Red and black confelti fell and the song played.' . There were speeches by Knight and administrators, plus videotaped tributes from Smith, Duke's Mike Krzyzewski and Texas' Rick Barnes, and statements from several NBA coaches who played for Knight. He also received two trophies and the game ball; a banner was unfurled marking this achievement. "You are the best there's been," said ever Krzyzewski, who played for Knight and s"rved as his assistant. "I'm so glad you've been my mentor, you've been my coach and you've been my friend." Knight's career record is 880-354. He recently a~reed to a contract extenston throush the 20 I0-11 season, whach doesn't bode well for anyone hopin~ to break his record.

Saccomano said he spoke with coach Mike Shanahan and others in the organization. Hours earlier, the Broncos lost to San Francisco 26-23 in overtime. "Complete shock. We're speechless. It takes words away," Saccomano said. The previous active NFL player to die was Thomas Herrion of San Francisco. He had a heart attack following an exhibition game in Denver on Aug. 20, 2005. Players and coaches were off Monday and were scheduled to meet Tuesday before heading home for the offseason. straight plays, including four consecutive completions that led to the game's first touchdown and a I0-3 lead. After a three-and-out. Booty moved the Trojans 70 yards, capping it with· a 22yard pass to Jarrett, who easily made the catch over Morgan Trent and celebrated by pretending he was shooting hoops. Cushing got another sack and Jackson recovered the ensuing fumble on the next drive, which led to a field goal and 19-3 lead. From there. the teams went back and forth, which gave Jarrett the chance to pad some stats and impress the NFL scouts, who were certainly watching him fashion a successful finish to a frustrating and injuryplagued year. Knight adp1its the record is a byproduct of longevity. The ultimate standard of college basketball coaching excellence is the 10 national titles won by UCLA's John Wooden, all in a 12· year span. Also worth noting: Tennessee women 's coach Pat Summilt has won the most NCAA games, 925; and Harry Statham of NAIA McKendree College in Lebanon, Ill. , has won the most men's games at a four-year college, 925. Tony Danridge led New Mexico (11-4) with 17 points and Giddens had 14.

CAPRICORN (Oec . 22-Jan . 19) Taking on an individualistic anltude when you're supposed to be a constructive participant won't sit weU with your part· ners. You could be pushed out entirely.

CAPRICORN (Oec . 22-Jan . 19) Taking on an individualistic anltude when you're supposed to be a constructive participant won't sit weU with your part· ners. You could be pushed out entirely. AQUARIUS (Jan. ~0 - Feb . 19) Chances are vou won'l be blameless when conditions shift in a manner where you'll become required to shoulder another's burdens. Keep your mind on what you 're doing at alltimea. PISCE S (Feb. 20·March 20) - Should . an overbearing acquaintance anempt to pressure you Into doing something to which you're strongly awrse, stand your ground and refuse, but not to the 'point of overreacting. ARIES (March 21-April 19) - The smartest thing you can do is not to bring your worldly frustrations home with you. Give yourse" a rest by either sotving your ills where they originate or leave lhem on your steps . TAURUS (April 2Q-May 20) -There's a chance you coo ld thoughtlessly do something that caused you trouble in the past. II you do, learn from &Xpirience this time and handle things quite diflerentty. GEMINI (May 21.June 20) - To add more financia l burden on an account you haven't totally senled yet won't evoke any Positive results. You'll be far happier if you decide to do without instead.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Responsibilities you so cleverly swept under the rug recently could raise a dust storm. It you aon·t stop and take care of them now, you can expect the fallout to ·grow considerably. VIAGO (Aug. 23·Sept 22) - Unless you're careful , a thoughtless achon on your beha" might impose a severe Imposition on a friend .The end resun could be that it'll cause your friend to lower his or her opinion of you. LIBRA (Sept 23-0Ct:. 23) - Be certain that an obtecllve you set for yourself will actually provide you with something you truly want. Otherwise. all you' ll yield ia a useless hollow victory.

The accounting firm Balestra. Harr & Scherer of Piketoh completed the audits of villalle funds under contract with the village. The two audit reports were released as public record by the Ohio Auditor of State on Dec. 26. · The last audit of the vi 1lage's books, released two years ago, found a number of irregularities and a finding for recovery against a former water dep·artment employee, Christy Williams. That finding, for $1.300.87 , has never been recovered, according to the 2004 audit released Dec. 26. That audit round that pay- ments made by utility customers in 200 I were not posted to their respective accounts, based on an investigation by the Auditor of State and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation. Williams was found responsible for the cash shortages. and the case was turned over to the prosecuting attorney. "The village has made no attempt to recover the missing funds," the audit report issued last week said. The 2002-2003 audit also stated that the village had misrepresented the use of a bank loan, had spent monie' in excess of the original appropriations and had not adequately reconciled bank statements. Three other findings from the '02/'03 audits also remain uncorrected and were re-issued or repeated as findings in the 2004 audit released last week.
