That is true in Mexico, where gifts are given and celebrations enjoyed on this impor· tant feast day. The Epiphany cele· brates the arrival of the magi, three kings or "wi se men" from the East, who were the first Gentile converts to Christianity. At Sacred Heart Church in Pomeroy Sunday, Mexican migrant families whQ have remained in Meigs County during the cold wmter months were special guests at an Ephiphany party hosted t>y the parish. Rev.

He moved in six months ago. The problem is my sisters, :"Pam and Amy." Pam ·recently ended a bad relationship, and since I became involved with Gary, she has snubbed me. My younger Sister, Amy, had lived with :file, rent-free, for more than 'five years and was absolutely furious when she had to .inove out. She's barely spo;ken to me since . The only :family I have lett is my mother, and I cannot even yisit her when my sisters are !II her house because they .~efuse to see me. . This has been going on ·for six months, and I am at iny wits ' end about how to Heal with them. I have tried placating them. ignoring ;their caustic remarks, trying :to reason with them, all to :no avail. They don 't speak ~o Gary, except to say hello when they accidentally run Into him, and have nothing but bad things to say about l;lim behind his back. :- I'd hate to lose my sisters ;.:ompieteiy.

In time, they should get past this, but the process can be unpleasant. Tell them how much you love them, and add, calmly, that their behavior will accomplish nothing but hard feelings. Meanwhile, visiting your mother should be up to Mom, not Pam and Amy. Enlist her help to make it clear to your sisters that you , are w~come in her hom e. (If they don't like to see you there, they should leave.) Dear Annie: My son is getting married next· spring . The parents of the bride have already told us we are only obligated for the traditional items (flowers, rehearsal dinner, etc.). The bride 's Jlilfents .are paying for everything else. The bride·~ parents initial-. ly said they would pay for individual hotel rooms for the entire wedding party, but I offered to cover the cost of the groomsmen's rooms. All eight groomsmen are from out of town (as are we). None of them are married, but almost all have steady girlfriends who will also be attending the wedding. The amount of money for hotel rooms is substantial, and although we can afford it, my husband would like to use the money to do some remodeling on our house instead. Would it be seltlsh of us to ask the groomsmen to bunk together, even though they were originally told they'd have individual rooms? We absolutely love our future daughter-in-law and don't want anyone to be angry with us. Our son wants his groomsmen to have separate rooms. Your opinion? -The Groom's Mom Dear Mom: You can ask if any of the groomsmen would like to share a room, but since you can afford it and originally agreed to get separate rooms, you should keep your promise, even if it means · postponing the work on the house. There's no point in creating ill will with the newlyweds. Dear Annie: I read with interest the letter from the "Stressed-Out Parents" of the 35-year-old woman who is abusing drugs. My 35-year-old daughter is serving her third prison term on drug-related charges. We are no longer in contact. I can't take the pain anymore. I can't stand around and watch her die and not be able to stop it. More than once, we gave her food, a home, bought her a car and gave her enough money to get back on her feet. She stole everything that wasn't nailed down, abandoned her children (we are raising them), and has caused so much anguish in our family thai it may be beyond repair.

I Dear Annie: I am a 40something woman who has been divorced (and alone) for more than I 0 years. Last year I met "Gary," and he has made me happier than I have been in years . He moved in six months ago. The problem is my sisters, :"Pam and Amy." Pam ·recently ended a bad relationship, and since I became involved with Gary, she has snubbed me. My younger Sister, Amy, had lived with :file, rent-free, for more than 'five years and was absolutely furious when she had to .inove out. She's barely spo;ken to me since . The only :family I have lett is my mother, and I cannot even yisit her when my sisters are !II her house because they .~efuse to see me. . This has been going on ·for six months, and I am at iny wits ' end about how to Heal with them. I have tried placating them. ignoring ;their caustic remarks, trying :to reason with them, all to :no avail. They don 't speak ~o Gary, except to say hello when they accidentally run Into him, and have nothing but bad things to say about l;lim behind his back. :- I'd hate to lose my sisters ;.:ompieteiy. I used to think ;Of them as my friends. What ;do I do now?- Ostracized ·In Omaha ;~ Dear Omaha: Do your :: ~isters have ll(ly reason to ~ dislike Gary? If not, they are being jealous and vindictive. In time, they should get past this, but the process can be unpleasant. Tell them how much you love them, and add, calmly, that their behavior will accomplish nothing but hard feelings. Meanwhile, visiting your mother should be up to Mom, not Pam and Amy. Enlist her help to make it clear to your sisters that you , are w~come in her hom e. (If they don't like to see you there, they should leave.) Dear Annie: My son is getting married next· spring . The parents of the bride have already told us we are only obligated for the traditional items (flowers, rehearsal dinner, etc.). The bride 's Jlilfents .are paying for everything else. The bride·~ parents initial-. ly said they would pay for individual hotel rooms for the entire wedding party, but I offered to cover the cost of the groomsmen's rooms. All eight groomsmen are from out of town (as are we). None of them are married, but almost all have steady girlfriends who will also be attending the wedding. The amount of money for hotel rooms is substantial, and although we can afford it, my husband would like to use the money to do some remodeling on our house instead. Would it be seltlsh of us to ask the groomsmen to bunk together, even though they were originally told they'd have individual rooms? We absolutely love our future daughter-in-law and don't want anyone to be angry with us. Our son wants his groomsmen to have separate rooms. Your opinion? -The Groom's Mom Dear Mom: You can ask if any of the groomsmen would like to share a room, but since you can afford it and originally agreed to get separate rooms, you should keep your promise, even if it means · postponing the work on the house. There's no point in creating ill will with the newlyweds. Dear Annie: I read with interest the letter from the "Stressed-Out Parents" of the 35-year-old woman who is abusing drugs. My 35-year-old daughter is serving her third prison term on drug-related charges. We are no longer in contact. I can't take the pain anymore. I can't stand around and watch her die and not be able to stop it. More than once, we gave her food, a home, bought her a car and gave her enough money to get back on her feet. She stole everything that wasn't nailed down, abandoned her children (we are raising them), and has caused so much anguish in our family thai it may be beyond repair. I know I had to step hack to salvage my own sanity. Don't sacrifice the rest of your family for the child who refuses to get well.

But those very results. and the crucial role played by independents and moderates, demonstrates that the Democrats' hold on power is tenuous and depends on deli vering results. not satisfying ideologues. In the NPR poll. 71 percent of respondents said they preferred that Democrat.~ "work together in a bipartisan way with Republicans to get things done," and only 27 percent said they should merely "enact the plans they committed to in the election." It's not a good sign that, right out of the box, House Democrats are denying Republicans any role in shaping Congress· "first I00 hours" agenda and that Republicans are conjuring up memories of the Democrats· "old, abusive ways" prior to 1994 - which, of course, became the GOP pattern afterward. The fact is that, with Democrats holding only a rather narrow ideological majority in the House, with the Senate split nearly evenly and with Bush in possession of a veto pen, the only way to get anything done ·in the next two years is by negotiation and compromise. Deals are possible almost across the board - on entitlements, education. energy and immigration - if the · two sides are willing to make them. If they are not, the public once again is likely to punish the side .most blocking progress. (Morton Kondracke is executive editor of Roll Call, the newspaper of Capitol Hill.)

I expect that during the congress ional hearings on the Leahy-Specter bill to Nat Hentoff get these prisoners back' into the courts, many Americans will discover how far from dangerous many of these detainees actually are. In recent months, two extensively documented reports from New Jersey's Seton Hall Law School, based entirely on Defense Department data, rebut the administration's contention - exemplified by departed Defense Secretary Donald Rum~ that most of the dttl!inees "are the best-trained, most vicious killers on the face of the Earth." · Researched arid written by law professor Mark Denbeaux; his son, Joshua (counsel to two Guantanamo detainees) ; and law students at Seton Hall , the reports demon strate that: "Only 8 percent of the detainees were characterized (in the Defen se Department data) as AI Qaeda fighters . Of the remaining detainees, 40 percent have no definitive connection with AI Qaeda at all." As for those picked up in Afghanistan. " 86 · percent were arrested by either Paki stan or the Northern Alliance and turned over to United States custody.", And there is this reveal ing information : " This 1!6 percent of the detainee.' captured by Pakistan or the Northern " Alliance were handed over to the United State' ut a time when the U .S. offered large bounties for capture of suspected terrorists ." The captives in these mass roundups were hardly screened carefully for their terrorist connections by the bounty hunters nor were they carefully screened, according to international law criteria, by our armed forces. Once at Guantanamo, to what extent were these prisoners given the dueprocess rights ordered by the Supreme Court in Rasul v. Bush (2004) and Hamdan v. Rumsfeld (2006) '? This is what the Seton Hall reports found in the Defense Department documents : "When considering all the hearings. 89 percent of the time. no evidence was presented on behalf of the detainees." And the government's classified evidence, intended to be the most powerful evidence the prisoners were not allowed to see and rebut - was always presumed by the tribunal to be reliable and valid. So. much for any presumption of innocence essential to due process. At these hearing., - to determine whether the detainees were unlawful enem y combatants they were not allowed to have a lawyer. " Instead of a lawyer.'' the Seton Hall reports show, "the detainee was designated a personal representative ... who was not his advocate . and whose role. both in theory and practice. was minimal ... At the end of the hearings. the pasonal re p rese ntative failed to exerc ise hi s ri ght to comment in 98 percent of th e cases. " Writing of these Seton ' Hall report s Rob yn Blumner. a columnist and member of the editorial board of the St. Petersburg Times noted that when "three detainees were initially found nor to be enemy combatants." one of whom had been unanimously cleared by two prior tribunals "was finally found to be (an enemy combatant) in the third one ." (Why, then, bother with an eventual war-crimes trial?) And the other two, first found not to be enemy combatants, were also "convicted"' in subsequent hearings where they were barred from the proceedings. Stuart Taylor -· in · the Dec. 18 widely respected National Journal - adds that while he doesn't doubt that there are dose calls in some of these hearings. "the current proces s is so flawed as to allow for indefinite detention even of detainees who could produce conclusive proof, if given fair hearings, that they have nothing to do with terrorists. Congress needs to fix this ."

U.S. targets terrorists in Somalia BY THE AssoctATEO PRESS WASHINGTON - The U.S. military launched a strike against several suspected members of ai-Qaida m Somalia, a government official said Monday night. The ofticial, who - spoke on condition of anonymity because of the operation's ·sensitivity, said at least one AC-130 gunship was used in the attack. CNN, NBC and CBS first reported the military action. · Citing Pentagon officials, CBS said the targets included the senior al-Qaida leader in East Africa and an al-Qaida operative wanted for his involvement in the 1998 bombings of the American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. The same operatives are also believed responsible for a 2002 attack on Israeli tourists in Kenya and an attempt to shoot down an Jsraeh aircraft the same day. NBC News reported. The 1998 bombings of .the U.S . embassies in Kenya and Tanzania killed more than 250 people. The 2002 attack on an Israeliowned hotel in Kenya killed 15. . The White House on Monday night would not confirm the incident. Air Force Lt. Col. Todd Vician, a Defense Department · spokesman, said he could neither confinn nor deny the reports of an airstrike. There was no .c onfinna- , tion that the Air Force had killed either of the ai-Qaida targets. Air Force AC-130 gunships are heavily armed aircraft with elaborate sensors that can go after discreet targets - day or night. They are operated by the Operations Special Command and have been used heavily against the Taliban in Afghanistan. U.S. Navy vessels have been deployed off the coast of Somalia to make sure alQaida or allied jihadists don't escape the country, the State Department said last Wednesday. Somalia's effective central government fell in 1991. when clan-based warlords overthrew a military dictator and then turned on each other. The government was fonned two years ago with the help of the United Nations, but has been weakened by internal rifts. to Soldiers loyal Somalia' s U.N .--backed government and Ethiopia's military late last month drove out a radical Islamic group that had been in control of the country for six months. The U.S. has believed for years that a group of alQaida operatives has been hiding in Somalia.

N eW attOrney general WO ~-' .. .-, . dlY f uling appeal WOfkt;f-fr tell Bv ANDREW WELSH-HUGGINS ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER COLUMBUS Ohio workers hurt on jobs they got through welfare could see their injury benefits substantially increased following a decision by the state's new attorney general not to appeal a court decision siding with those workers. Marc Dann. the first Democrat elected Attorney General since 1990. said Monday that the lOth Ohio District Court.of Appeals in Columbus properly ruled last month that the workers weren' t paid fairly after being injured. The workers had sued the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation and the Commission, Industrial which handles appeals of workers challenging their claims. The lawsuit claimed the workers didn · t receive proper compensation in violation of a 1996 state Supreme Court ruling. In a symbolic move, Dann used his inaugural speech to announce his decision, describing the case as the government fighting injured Ohioans trying to work their way off public assistance . "My clients are the people of the State of Ohio, not just its institutions and agencies," Dann said. The decision was also significant because of Dann 's prior criticism of the workers' comp bureau . As a scandal grew at the bureau beginning two years a~o over its unorthodox $50 million inve stment in rare coins, Dann was an early and frequent critic of the agency. That crlllctsm also became the linchpin of his campaign for attorney general. As the state's top lawyer, he represents state agencies and must decide whether to appeal when those agencies lose in coun. The legal rights group that brought the 2004 lawsuit praised Dunn's decision. "An appeal would prolong the litigation and delay the amount of time in which the poorest members of the community can be justly compensated for their injuries," said Judith Goldstein, an attorney with the Equal Justice Foundation. The workers' comp bureau could not say Monday how many workers were affected by the decision or how much it could cost to compensate them. The 1996 court ruling said the state could not deny full death benefits to the widow of a man who died as a result of a disease he contracted on a public relief job. The decision found that state law violated the equal protection clauses of the Ohio and U.S. constitutions. The workers' lawsuit, tiled in the appeals court in 2004. argoed that the ruling applies to all welfare workers. The court agreed in a Dec. 19 decision. Plant COLUMB US - For $75. a person used to be able to buy a 'pretty substantial gift for a favorite government official without th at official having to report it. But with a $20 limit allowed under new regulation s. gi ving state workers luxury gifts will be a bit tougher. Smaller gifts are just one of the changes in ethics rules for state government employees and appointees under Go v. Ted Strickland 's tlrst executive order, signed just after he took his oath of office. Former Gov. Bob Taft. who was convicfed late in his admini stration of violating state ethics laws. made ethics a priority, too. Taft. who disclosed amid a state corruption scandal that he had failed to disclosed gifts, began preaching high ethical standards the moment he was sworn i . , 1999 _ He called is family legacy "a tradition of integrity" and "ethical conduct in office ." He later summoned the Ohio Ethics Commission lo a meeting to lecture top staff on the importance of ethical behavior, and, by October 1999, he had signed an executive order of his own that set out to avoid "even the appearance of impropriety." Under Taft's order, which expired Sunday, state officials were instructed to · follow state ethics law on gifts. That law required all gifts of more than $7 5 to be reported annually, allowing smaller gifts to go ~tnreport­ ed as long as they did not come from someone seeking to influence government business. Like Strickland' s order, Taft's directive required top cabinet officials to take ethics training. Taft called for four hours of ethics training every two years; Strickland's order calls for creation of a chief ethics ofticer in each state agency to establish training guidelines and assure "employees can easily get answers to questions about what is permissible and what is not." Ohio Ethics Commission executive director David Freel said the Strickland policy mirrors a trend around the country to lower thresholds for grft-giving. At least one state has lowered them to just $10. he said. The order also addresses criticism that too much pub- Education from Page A1 four-year college. · They'll have to go to a two-year school to make up the defi ciency, and then go to a four-year college. commended Buckley Meigs County's Ohio House Rep.

Although hydrogen gas is highly explosive, it is used to cool steam gener.a tors at the plant because it has a high capacity for heat and it is more efficient than using air. · Hydrogen is delivered to the plant about once a ·week, Michalski said. The Muskingum River Plant continued to produce electricity after the explosion although the umt near the blast was shut down. AEP officials said they were investigating the cause.

"It look s like what Governor Strickland's try ing to do at the outset is to set a high standard." Freel said. "Thi s looks to be real ly a supplems:nt to the state ethics statutes. which are aimed at the most serious or egregious conduct. Thi s gets at those more everyday occurrences." State ethics .laws remain il place in the new admini str., wn . but Strickland' s order goes funher. It says only the occasional. inexpensive token gift - "such as a T-shirt . cap. mu g or lapel pin" - or meal s or refreshments under $20 are allowed for the governor, lieutenant governor. their wives, and all cabinet directors. All agency employees must follow the same rules. Under Taft 's 1999 order, no gift limits beyond ethics law were di scu ssed. Until Monday. a 2003 advisory was operative for all state agency employees, which reminded them of the gift limits set out under ethics law, said Ben Piscatelli, a spokesman for the Ohio Department of Administrative Services. Strickland's win over GOP nominee Ken Blackwell in the November election came amid a Democratic surge both in the state and nationally and followed high-profile scandals involving former Republican Congressman Bob Ney of Ohio, who pleaded guilty to federal corruption charges, and an unusual $50 million investment in rare coins by the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation. The fallout from the coin scandal included the departure of the bureau's longtime director and numerous criminal charges against bureau · employees and members of Taft's administration involving free golf and discounted condo stays from Tom Noe, the GOP donor and coin dealer who ran the investment. Noe. who had pleaded ~uilty in federal court to Illegally funnelin~ $45,000 to President Bush s re-elec· tion campaign. was convicted after last year's election of charges that he stole from the investment.

It's not a good sign that, right out of the box, House Democrats are denying Republicans any role in shaping Congress· "first I00 hours" agenda and that Republicans are conjuring up memories of the Democrats· "old, abusive ways" prior to 1994 - which, of course, became the GOP pattern afterward. The fact is that, with Democrats holding only a rather narrow ideological majority in the House, with the Senate split nearly evenly and with Bush in possession of a veto pen, the only way to get anything done ·in the next two years is by negotiation and compromise.

I expect that during the congress ional hearings on the Leahy-Specter bill to Nat Hentoff get these prisoners back' into the courts, many Americans will discover how far from dangerous many of these detainees actually are. In recent months, two extensively documented reports from New Jersey's Seton Hall Law School, based entirely on Defense Department data, rebut the administration's contention - exemplified by departed Defense Secretary Donald Rum~ that most of the dttl!inees "are the best-trained, most vicious killers on the face of the Earth." · Researched arid written by law professor Mark Denbeaux; his son, Joshua (counsel to two Guantanamo detainees) ; and law students at Seton Hall , the reports demon strate that: "Only 8 percent of the detainees were characterized (in the Defen se Department data) as AI Qaeda fighters . Of the remaining detainees, 40 percent have no definitive connection with AI Qaeda at all." As for those picked up in Afghanistan. " 86 · percent were arrested by either Paki stan or the Northern Alliance and turned over to United States custody.", And there is this reveal ing information : " This 1!6 percent of the detainee.' captured by Pakistan or the Northern " Alliance were handed over to the United State' ut a time when the U .S. offered large bounties for capture of suspected terrorists ." The captives in these mass roundups were hardly screened carefully for their terrorist connections by the bounty hunters nor were they carefully screened, according to international law criteria, by our armed forces. Once at Guantanamo, to what extent were these prisoners given the dueprocess rights ordered by the Supreme Court in Rasul v. Bush (2004) and Hamdan v. Rumsfeld (2006) '? This is what the Seton Hall reports found in the Defense Department documents : "When considering all the hearings. 89 percent of the time. no evidence was presented on behalf of the detainees." And the government's classified evidence, intended to be the most powerful evidence the prisoners were not allowed to see and rebut - was always presumed by the tribunal to be reliable and valid. So. much for any presumption of innocence essential to due process. At these hearing., - to determine whether the detainees were unlawful enem y combatants they were not allowed to have a lawyer. " Instead of a lawyer.'' the Seton Hall reports show, "the detainee was designated a personal representative ... who was not his advocate . and whose role. both in theory and practice. was minimal ... At the end of the hearings. the pasonal re p rese ntative failed to exerc ise hi s ri ght to comment in 98 percent of th e cases. " Writing of these Seton ' Hall report s Rob yn Blumner. a columnist and member of the editorial board of the St. Petersburg Times noted that when "three detainees were initially found nor to be enemy combatants." one of whom had been unanimously cleared by two prior tribunals "was finally found to be (an enemy combatant) in the third one ." (Why, then, bother with an eventual war-crimes trial?) And the other two, first found not to be enemy combatants, were also "convicted"' in subsequent hearings where they were barred from the proceedings. Stuart Taylor -· in · the Dec. 18 widely respected National Journal - adds that while he doesn't doubt that there are dose calls in some of these hearings. "the current proces s is so flawed as to allow for indefinite detention even of detainees who could produce conclusive proof, if given fair hearings, that they have nothing to do with terrorists.

U.S. targets terrorists in Somalia BY THE AssoctATEO PRESS WASHINGTON - The U.S. military launched a strike against several suspected members of ai-Qaida m Somalia, a government official said Monday night. The ofticial, who - spoke on condition of anonymity because of the operation's ·sensitivity, said at least one AC-130 gunship was used in the attack. CNN, NBC and CBS first reported the military action. · Citing Pentagon officials, CBS said the targets included the senior al-Qaida leader in East Africa and an al-Qaida operative wanted for his involvement in the 1998 bombings of the American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. The same operatives are also believed responsible for a 2002 attack on Israeli tourists in Kenya and an attempt to shoot down an Jsraeh aircraft the same day. NBC News reported. The 1998 bombings of .the U.S . embassies in Kenya and Tanzania killed more than 250 people. The 2002 attack on an Israeliowned hotel in Kenya killed 15. . The White House on Monday night would not confirm the incident. Air Force Lt. Col. Todd Vician, a Defense Department · spokesman, said he could neither confinn nor deny the reports of an airstrike. There was no .c onfinna- , tion that the Air Force had killed either of the ai-Qaida targets. Air Force AC-130 gunships are heavily armed aircraft with elaborate sensors that can go after discreet targets - day or night. They are operated by the Operations Special Command and have been used heavily against the Taliban in Afghanistan. U.S. Navy vessels have been deployed off the coast of Somalia to make sure alQaida or allied jihadists don't escape the country, the State Department said last Wednesday. Somalia's effective central government fell in 1991. when clan-based warlords overthrew a military dictator and then turned on each other. The government was fonned two years ago with the help of the United Nations, but has been weakened by internal rifts. to Soldiers loyal Somalia' s U.N .--backed government and Ethiopia's military late last month drove out a radical Islamic group that had been in control of the country for six months. The U.S. has believed for years that a group of alQaida operatives has been hiding in Somalia.

N eW attOrney general WO ~-' .. .-, . dlY f uling appeal WOfkt;f-fr tell Bv ANDREW WELSH-HUGGINS ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER COLUMBUS Ohio workers hurt on jobs they got through welfare could see their injury benefits substantially increased following a decision by the state's new attorney general not to appeal a court decision siding with those workers. Marc Dann. the first Democrat elected Attorney General since 1990. said Monday that the lOth Ohio District Court.of Appeals in Columbus properly ruled last month that the workers weren' t paid fairly after being injured. The workers had sued the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation and the Commission, Industrial which handles appeals of workers challenging their claims. The lawsuit claimed the workers didn · t receive proper compensation in violation of a 1996 state Supreme Court ruling. In a symbolic move, Dann used his inaugural speech to announce his decision, describing the case as the government fighting injured Ohioans trying to work their way off public assistance . "My clients are the people of the State of Ohio, not just its institutions and agencies," Dann said. The decision was also significant because of Dann 's prior criticism of the workers' comp bureau . As a scandal grew at the bureau beginning two years a~o over its unorthodox $50 million inve stment in rare coins, Dann was an early and frequent critic of the agency. That crlllctsm also became the linchpin of his campaign for attorney general. As the state's top lawyer, he represents state agencies and must decide whether to appeal when those agencies lose in coun. The legal rights group that brought the 2004 lawsuit praised Dunn's decision. "An appeal would prolong the litigation and delay the amount of time in which the poorest members of the community can be justly compensated for their injuries," said Judith Goldstein, an attorney with the Equal Justice Foundation. The workers' comp bureau could not say Monday how many workers were affected by the decision or how much it could cost to compensate them. The 1996 court ruling said the state could not deny full death benefits to the widow of a man who died as a result of a disease he contracted on a public relief job. The decision found that state law violated the equal protection clauses of the Ohio and U.S. constitutions. The workers' lawsuit, tiled in the appeals court in 2004. argoed that the ruling applies to all welfare workers. The court agreed in a Dec. 19 decision. Plant COLUMB US - For $75. a person used to be able to buy a 'pretty substantial gift for a favorite government official without th at official having to report it. But with a $20 limit allowed under new regulation s. gi ving state workers luxury gifts will be a bit tougher. Smaller gifts are just one of the changes in ethics rules for state government employees and appointees under Go v. Ted Strickland 's tlrst executive order, signed just after he took his oath of office. Former Gov. Bob Taft. who was convicfed late in his admini stration of violating state ethics laws. made ethics a priority, too. Taft. who disclosed amid a state corruption scandal that he had failed to disclosed gifts, began preaching high ethical standards the moment he was sworn i . , 1999 _ He called is family legacy "a tradition of integrity" and "ethical conduct in office ." He later summoned the Ohio Ethics Commission lo a meeting to lecture top staff on the importance of ethical behavior, and, by October 1999, he had signed an executive order of his own that set out to avoid "even the appearance of impropriety." Under Taft's order, which expired Sunday, state officials were instructed to · follow state ethics law on gifts. That law required all gifts of more than $7 5 to be reported annually, allowing smaller gifts to go ~tnreport­ ed as long as they did not come from someone seeking to influence government business. Like Strickland' s order, Taft's directive required top cabinet officials to take ethics training. Taft called for four hours of ethics training every two years; Strickland's order calls for creation of a chief ethics ofticer in each state agency to establish training guidelines and assure "employees can easily get answers to questions about what is permissible and what is not." Ohio Ethics Commission executive director David Freel said the Strickland policy mirrors a trend around the country to lower thresholds for grft-giving. At least one state has lowered them to just $10. he said. The order also addresses criticism that too much pub- Education from Page A1 four-year college. · They'll have to go to a two-year school to make up the defi ciency, and then go to a four-year college. commended Buckley Meigs County's Ohio House Rep.

Although hydrogen gas is highly explosive, it is used to cool steam gener.a tors at the plant because it has a high capacity for heat and it is more efficient than using air. · Hydrogen is delivered to the plant about once a ·week, Michalski said. The Muskingum River Plant continued to produce electricity after the explosion although the umt near the blast was shut down. AEP officials said they were investigating the cause.

"It look s like what Governor Strickland's try ing to do at the outset is to set a high standard." Freel said. "Thi s looks to be real ly a supplems:nt to the state ethics statutes. which are aimed at the most serious or egregious conduct. Thi s gets at those more everyday occurrences." State ethics .laws remain il place in the new admini str., wn . but Strickland' s order goes funher. It says only the occasional. inexpensive token gift - "such as a T-shirt . cap. mu g or lapel pin" - or meal s or refreshments under $20 are allowed for the governor, lieutenant governor. their wives, and all cabinet directors. All agency employees must follow the same rules. Under Taft 's 1999 order, no gift limits beyond ethics law were di scu ssed. Until Monday. a 2003 advisory was operative for all state agency employees, which reminded them of the gift limits set out under ethics law, said Ben Piscatelli, a spokesman for the Ohio Department of Administrative Services. Strickland's win over GOP nominee Ken Blackwell in the November election came amid a Democratic surge both in the state and nationally and followed high-profile scandals involving former Republican Congressman Bob Ney of Ohio, who pleaded guilty to federal corruption charges, and an unusual $50 million investment in rare coins by the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation. The fallout from the coin scandal included the departure of the bureau's longtime director and numerous criminal charges against bureau · employees and members of Taft's administration involving free golf and discounted condo stays from Tom Noe, the GOP donor and coin dealer who ran the investment. Noe. who had pleaded ~uilty in federal court to Illegally funnelin~ $45,000 to President Bush s re-elec· tion campaign. was convicted after last year's election of charges that he stole from the investment. "While some states have gon.e to this type of program in the last year or two, I can't see it as a step in the right direction for us," said the superintendent "The lab classes which would require more teachers and make class scheduling difficult in addition I not have the labs to supp<?rt the program along With the Algebra 2 requirement are my big~est concern.

Ariz (AP) - The BCS championship game started a! most too easily for Ohio State. The No. I Buckeyes sprinted to a 7-0 lead after speedster Ted Ginn Jr. returned the opening kickoff 93 yards for a touchdown, a first in the BCS title game. That fals!: sense of superiority quickly disappeared Monday night in a humiliating 41 - 14 Joss to No . 2 Florida . It was Ohio State's worst defeat since Penn State drubbed the Buckeye s 63-14 on Oct. 29, 1994. This was a new experience for these Buckeyes , who rolled to a 12-0 regular-season record, outscoring opponents by an average of 26 points. Immediately after Ginn's touchdown, almost everything went wrong for Ohio State on college football 's biggest stage. Ginn, who admitted he got injured celebrating the touchdown, spent most of the game on the sideline with his left foot in a black boot. The Buckeyes committed first-quarter personal fouls on a kickoff and a punt, giving the Gators possession in Ohio State territoFy: Florida converted those mistakes into 14 quick points. Florida also turned two errors by Heisman Trophy winner Troy Smith ~ an interception and fumbling deep in his territory~ i·nto touchdowns . Even Ohio State coach Jim Tressel , known for playing it close· to his sweater vest, stumbled. He went for it on fourth -and-! at hi s own 29 late in the first half. Backup tailback Chris Wells was stopped short of the marker, and four plays later Florida's Chris Hetland hit a 40yard field goal to make it 27-14. The Buckeyes were never in the game again .

Bl Reisman jinx gets Smith in national title game BYRumMUER ASSOCIATED Pm:SS GLENDALE, Ariz. ~ Ohio State quarterback Troy Smith swore he didn't believe in any Heisrnan jinx. He might feel differently now. The Heisrnan Trophy winner had his worst night when the Buckeyes neededhis best ~ in the BCS national championship. Top-mnked Ohio State lost to No. 2 florida 41-14 and Smith tossed an interception. fumbled and threw for just 35 yards. "As the quarterback I am the one guy out there who can pretty much ~ontrol eve~g." Smith said. "Florida did some great things defensively, but nothing we couldn't have handled, r take all the blame for that." The strong-armed senior from Cleveland came in completing 67 percent of his passes. He had thrown a schoolrecord 30 touchdown passes with only five interceptions and three of those were off receivers' hand~. Yet he never found his rhythm and never got a chance while being harassed all night by florida defensive ends Jarvis Moss and Derrick Harvey. Moss sacked Smith twi~ while Harvey had three sacks. "They looked fast on film and they proved to be as fast as they Ioolced." center Doug D-.ttish said. Coach Jim Tressel said it wasn't fairto put the burden for . the Joss on Smith's shoulders. - ···--- "It was a combined effort, starting with the coaches," he said. Smith failed to throw a touchdown pass for only the second time this sea'lOn. And his completion percentage while gomg 4-of-14 passing was the worst of his 2S games as a starter at Ohio State. Of the last six Heisman Trophy winners to play for a natmnal championship that same season, only one Southern California's Matt Leinart in 2004 - won the title game. Most had good numbers. Some did not bear any of the blame for the los~. But they still lost. Whether it's the increased attention of defenses, the added pressure or the grind of photo ops and interviews after capturing the award ~ or maybe all of those reasons - it's almost as if the winner is carrying that heavy bronze statue around on his back during the title game. Until now, Smith had his biggest games when the spotlight was shining brightest against the best opponents. But Monday he appeared out of synch all night. The Buckeyes ~ who had scored at least 40 points in four of their la~t five games ~ ran three plays and punted the ball away on their fiist possession. The second time the offense had the ball, Smith looped a pass into the lefi flat that was between receivers, with Florida cornerback Reggie Lewis making a diving interception at his own 29 . The Gators ate up the 7 I yards in I0 plays. wi~ tailback DeShawn Wynn sconng on a 2-yard run on the tirst play of the second quarter for a 21-7 lead. Late in the first half. Smith nearly lost a fumbled snap on a cTitical third-and-! play. That led to a Gator field goal and on th~ next Ohio State possession, Smith fumbled when Moss sacked him. Harvey recovered at the Buckeye 5. A few plays later it wa~ 3414, florida. and Ohio State never threatened again. Not all of the recent Heisman winners have had bad games in losing in the title game. USC's Reggie Bush played well a year ago but USC lost to Texas. Oklahoma quarterback Ja'lOn White wa~ ineffective against LSU in the 2003 title game. Nebraska's Eric Crouch had an OK day. as Nebraska was routed by Miami in the 200 I national chan1pionship game. Florida State s Chris Weinke didn ·t throw a TD pass as Florida State lost the 2000 title to Oklahoma. Florida coach Urbtm Meyer said in the weeks leading up to the game against Ohio State that Smith would likely draw extra attention from hisdefense. He was right. As disappointed a~ he was, Smith stayed composed as he put the lopsided Joss- in perspective. "If this is the worst thing that happens in life to us:· he said. "we· re pretty cool."

Ariz (AP) - The BCS championship game started a! most too easily for Ohio State. The No. I Buckeyes sprinted to a 7-0 lead after speedster Ted Ginn Jr. returned the opening kickoff 93 yards for a touchdown, a first in the BCS title game. That fals!: sense of superiority quickly disappeared Monday night in a humiliating 41 - 14 Joss to No . 2 Florida . It was Ohio State's worst defeat since Penn State drubbed the Buckeye s 63-14 on Oct. 29, 1994. This was a new experience for these Buckeyes , who rolled to a 12-0 regular-season record, outscoring opponents by an average of 26 points. Immediately after Ginn's touchdown, almost everything went wrong for Ohio State on college football 's biggest stage. Ginn, who admitted he got injured celebrating the touchdown, spent most of the game on the sideline with his left foot in a black boot. The Buckeyes committed first-quarter personal fouls on a kickoff and a punt, giving the Gators possession in Ohio State territoFy: Florida converted those mistakes into 14 quick points. Florida also turned two errors by Heisman Trophy winner Troy Smith ~ an interception and fumbling deep in his territory~ i·nto touchdowns . Even Ohio State coach Jim Tressel , known for playing it close· to his sweater vest, stumbled. He went for it on fourth -and-! at hi s own 29 late in the first half. Backup tailback Chris Wells was stopped short of the marker, and four plays later Florida's Chris Hetland hit a 40yard field goal to make it 27-14. The Buckeyes were never in the game again .

Smith failed to throw a touchdown pass for only the second time this sea'lOn. And his completion percentage while gomg 4-of-14 passing was the worst of his 2S games as a starter at Ohio State. Of the last six Heisman Trophy winners to play for a natmnal championship that same season, only one Southern California's Matt Leinart in 2004 - won the title game. Most had good numbers. Some did not bear any of the blame for the los~. But they still lost. Whether it's the increased attention of defenses, the added pressure or the grind of photo ops and interviews after capturing the award ~ or maybe all of those reasons - it's almost as if the winner is carrying that heavy bronze statue around on his back during the title game. Until now, Smith had his biggest games when the spotlight was shining brightest against the best opponents. But Monday he appeared out of synch all night. The Buckeyes ~ who had scored at least 40 points in four of their la~t five games ~ ran three plays and punted the ball away on their fiist possession. The second time the offense had the ball, Smith looped a pass into the lefi flat that was between receivers, with Florida cornerback Reggie Lewis making a diving interception at his own 29 . The Gators ate up the 7 I yards in I0 plays. wi~ tailback DeShawn Wynn sconng on a 2-yard run on the tirst play of the second quarter for a 21-7 lead. Late in the first half. Smith nearly lost a fumbled snap on a cTitical third-and-! play. That led to a Gator field goal and on th~ next Ohio State possession, Smith fumbled when Moss sacked him. Harvey recovered at the Buckeye 5. A few plays later it wa~ 3414, florida. and Ohio State never threatened again. Not all of the recent Heisman winners have had bad games in losing in the title game. USC's Reggie Bush played well a year ago but USC lost to Texas. Oklahoma quarterback Ja'lOn White wa~ ineffective against LSU in the 2003 title game. Nebraska's Eric Crouch had an OK day. as Nebraska was routed by Miami in the 200 I national chan1pionship game. Florida State s Chris Weinke didn ·t throw a TD pass as Florida State lost the 2000 title to Oklahoma. Florida coach Urbtm Meyer said in the weeks leading up to the game against Ohio State that Smith would likely draw extra attention from hisdefense. He was right. As disappointed a~ he was, Smith stayed composed as he put the lopsided Joss- in perspective. "If this is the worst thing that happens in life to us:· he said. "we· re pretty cool."

W,hen the second period began, Meyer immediately reached mto h1s bag of tricks . Florida put three running backs directly behind Leak - a power-1-plus - and gave the ball to the last one . DeShawn Wynn scored on the first play of the quarter, plunging into the end zone right in front of the Gators' band , for a stunning 21-7 lead. Ohio State returned to its roots and ran the ball.

Tebow ran twice up ttie middle, then faked a quar· terback draw, rolled to t~e left and tossed a 1-yard TD pass to Caldwell .

What is you r plen7 Nor1h made a splinter response, showing at least foor·card spade suppof1 and game-going values with at most a singleton club. Sooth, deciding to divulge no more informallon to the defenders, bid what he hoped he could make. South, rel ieved that West had not ted a diamond, relaxed too much. He drew the remaining trump - and could no longer makelha contract. Al1er fiddling lor a lew tricks, he played a dlammd lo dummy's ace and a diamond to his queen, losing two tricks in lhe suit. The diamond option should be put behind the door. South should play oo haarts, hoj>ng lor a 4-4 sp~ or king· queen-third. But if the s'uit is 4-4, declarer needs tour dummy entries: three 1or hear1 ruffs and one to gel to the established winner. That last entry must be the diamond ace. The other three mu st come from the trumps . Ruff a clu~ on the board, ruff a heart in your hand; rutf a club, ruff a heart, ruff the club ace(!), run a heart, pull the remaining trump, play a diamond to dummy's ace. and cash lhe heart ace. discarding a diamond. Here, the heart iack is high, so throw another diamond and concede one diamond. But if the heart }ack is not hi gh, play a diamond to your queen.

Ken Whisenhunt on Tuesday. Does that mean the · Pittsb urgh Steelers might be ready to choose their next head coach by as soon as Wednesday ·> With the two Steelers' assistants being among the most-interviewed candidates for the four current NFL coaching vacancies, they are giving every sign they may not need to go outside their own staff to find Bill Cowher's successor. Grimm, the Steelers' offensive line coach for six seasons and their assistant head coach for three. inter- viewed Mon•Jay afternoo n with owner Dan Rooney. president Art Roone y II and dimotor of football operations Kevin Colbert. To gain mbre privacy, the interview was not held at the Steelers' practice complex where the executives and coac he s have their offices. Whi senhunt , the Steelers' offensive coordinator for three seasons and an assistant coach for six, will interview on Tuesday. This will be his fourth interview in less than a week; he also talked last weekend with the Atlanta Falcons, Arizona Cardinals and Miami Dolphins. Whisenhunt will have interviewed with every NFL team looking for a head coach except for Oakland Raiders. He pulled -his name out of consideration for their job before they rehired Art Shell last year, but Shell was let go again following a 2-14 season. While Whisenhunt 1s meetin g with the Steelers, Urimm is scheduled to talk with the Cardinals on Tuesday. The Steelers have not promoted one of their own assistants to head coach in nearly 42 years, or since Mike Nixon was given the job in 1965. Nixon lasted one year. going 2-12 with seven consecutive losses to end the season. and the next three hires all were assistants from other teams : Bill Austin.

Tomlinson, San Diego's record-setting running back, also won the AP Most Valuable Plaver and Offensive Player 'uf the Year awards. Miami end Taylor was the Defensive Player of the Year. Bailey tied for the league lead with I0 interceptions even though opponents tried to avoid throwing to the Broncos cornerback's side of the lield. "My whole idea to go out on a Sunday is to be a pain in the butt for the other team," said Taylor, who had 62 tackles, 13 In sacks, 14 quarterback hurries, two interceptions - both returned for TDs - II passes defensed, I0 fumbles forced and two fumbles recovered. "If I can be a pain in their butt and give somebody a headache. then more times than not, it's goin~ to work out well tor myself ." · It worked out so well for him. Tomlinson - who set NFL records for points with 186, touchdowns with 31 and TDs mshing with 28 - and Bailey that they received all 50 votes from a nationwide panel of sports writers and broadcasters who cover the NFL. Two others, both Chicago Bears. came close to sweeping the vote. Devin Hester. who set a league mark with six kick returns tor touchdowns, was the onlv rookie on the team, earning 48 1/2 votes. Middle linebacker Brian Urlacher, a repeater from last year, got 48. Asked about the respect he was shown as a rookie, Hester said: "Right, most definitely. I really didn't want to look into this season. I just kind of wanted to establish myself and feel at home. Toward the offseason, that's when I really stan looking at some stuff like that." In all, the Chargers had the most All-Pros with five : Tomlinson. tight end Antonio Gates, fullback Lorenzo Neal, defensive tackle Jamal Williams and linebacker Shawne Merriman. who he could hire, and the Bears wound up going with Smith. Whisenhunt, a former Georgia Tech and Atlanta Falcons tight end, was interested in returning to his old team before the y hired Lotlisville coach Bobby Petrino on Sunday night. But Whi,enhunt appea" intent on landing the Steelers' job, and may have turned down the Raiders a year ago in part because ·he wanted a chance for the Pittsburgh job if it came open. Going with either Grimm or Whisenhunt would require little change in what the Steelers do offensively - a major concern with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger going into on ly his fourth season. Al so. it could result in some or many of the current assistant coaches staying. · The Steelers also met Sunday in Chicago with Bears defensive coordinator Ron Rivera and will talk Wedne sduy with Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Mike Tumlin. They are ex pected to talk to at least one other candidate and possibly more. but almost certain ly won't stretc h the search over near! y a month as they did before hiring Cowher. No matter the Steelers' choice. they are expected to save some money. While Cowher would have made about $4.5 million in 2001: it is likely the new Steelers coach will make about $2 million less than that. • Middleport • Pomeroy, Ohio -;oti:\IS•\ol. ;;h.~o . llll North Carolina is No. I in The Associated Press' college basketball poll for the first time in almost six years. The wait has been quite a bit lon~er for Washington State, wh1ch is ranked for the first time in almost 24 years. The Tar Heels ( 14- I ) moved into the top spot Monday after three weeks at No. 2 following UCLA's loss at Oregon last weekend. It is North Carolina's first time at No. I since a twoweek run in February 200 I, and it's the first time the Tar Heels are there in the threeplus seasons, including the 2005 national championship, under coach Roy Williams. "I feel good where we are, but it's so, so early," Willian1s said Monday. "We have 15 more battles to go in the conference. so we' ll see what happens." Williams is no stranger to having a top-ranked team. In seven of 15 seasons at Kansas. the Jay hawks reached No. I, including a 15-week stretch in 1996-97. "I've been No. I before. and if you don't finish that way at the end of the year, it means rou had a good little stretch,' he said. Washington State ( 14-2) is having an unexpected stretch, and the quick start has the Cougars tied for 22nd in the poll, their first ranking since a one-week stint in Febmary 1983. Picked last in the Pac- 1O's preseason media poll. the Cougars have gotten off to an · pressive stan under firstar coach Tony Bennett. eluding wins over GunLaga and last weekend's 77-73 overtime win against Ari1.ona. "We've had different guys step up at difTerent times," Bennett said Monday. "We have mostly sophomores and juniors, and the{re kids who have taken their lumps and have some legitimate game experience with some heartbreaking losses and some bad losses. It's a stan, and that's all it is. We're in the No. !ranked conference in the country, and we have 14 games to go. so we have to keep that same lighting mentality." North Carolina re.:eived 64 first-place votes and I,788 points from the 72-member national media panel to easily outdistance No. 2 Florida ( 142), which had three No. I votes and 1,682 points in moving up one spot from last week. The Gators wer" No. I in the preseason poll and fnr the first two weeks of the regular season. Wisconsin ( 15-1) received NATIONAL one first-place vote and moved from fourth to third, the highest rdllking in school history, while UCLA droppeD from first to fourth. · The Bruins ( 14-1), wqo received four tirst-placc; votes. held the No. I spot for six weeks until the 68-66 lo~s at Oregon on Saturday.

Duke, which dropped six spots after its home loss to Virginia Tech on Saturday, was II th and was followed by Butler. LSU. Alabama, Oregon. Tennessee. Clemson, Air Force, Nevada and Memphis. West Virginia was 21st with Notre Dame and Washington Swte tied for No. 22. while Connecticut and Texas rounded nut the Top 25. This is North Carolina's 82nd poll with a No. I ranking, fourth on the all-time list behind UCLA ( 134), Duk:e ( 110) and Kentucky (98). : The Tar Heels· lone kiss was to Gonzaga in the semifinals of the NIT Season lipOff.
