"We still have a lot of winter ahead. If it makes you feel any better. you can cover things with clay pots. But these bulbs have been coming up for millennia. This isn't the lirst spate of unusually warm weather they've seen." Nature will son th~ngs out and for the most part, leave blooming and fruiting plants little the worse for it, Kunst said. "The only time I've seen foliage or flowers damaged was one time in March when we got temps of about 5 degrees above for five days. They turned to mush.

Above average temperatures for most of the winter in New York have allowed thousands of flowers to emerge on this tree which is usually very bare this time of year. healthy. Most (bulbs) can take these things in stride." The Brooklyn Botanic Garden in New York City made headlines in early January when five of its ever-blooming cherry trees were profusely in flower. That species (Prunus Fudan-Zakura) is expected to begin !lowering in late November, but not in such profusion. A few weeks of unusually balmy weather produced a spectacular run of thousands of blooms rather than the several hundred usually making an ap~arance. 'They'Te dramatic but sporadic," said Patrick Cullina, vice president, Horticulture and Facilities, at the botanic garden . ''They ' re not displaying every possible blossom. though. The bulk of our cherry collection is still asleep. The big show is still on (for spring)." Many trees and shrubs require a donnant period in order to bloom. A number of cherry, apricot and peach trees in the area along with forsythias, lilacs, rhododendrons and others have been tricked into thinking tbey already experienced a dormant period, Cullina said. "All these plants are early indicators of spring. Those trees that have bloomed now won't bloom. again in spring. But anything that hasn't bloomed yet will be blooming later. Their flower buds were formed the previ- ous summer." Such flowers lead usually to fruit, and while the early blooms likely won't have enough time to set fruit, that isn't such a problem with ornamentals, Cullina said. "That's largely aesthetic. It is (a problem) for commercial orchards, though. It's a big deal if you're trying to grow peaches for next year." Ground that would be rock-hard this time of year in many sections of the country remains workable for cultivation. Take around Maine, for instance. lois Berg Stack, a University of Maine cooperative extension specialist in ornamental horticulture, went into her Orono back- yard with a spade one day the first week of January, looking for the depth of the frost line. "I found frost only in the raised bed," she said. ''There's apparently enough geothermal heat that flat ground has not yet developed a frost layer, even at an 8-inch depth. In tbe raised bed, where the soil is elevated and exposed to temperatures that are colder, there was a bit of frost about linch deep, but I could easily dig through it." So while it's conceivable a person still can drop some spring-blooming bulbs into the ground, it isn't advisable. "Bulbs such as tulips and daffodils are opllmally planted in late fall, when they produce good root growtb but no top growth," Stack said. "Bulb root development requires several weeks of cool soil temperatures. We've had extra weeks of ~ood rooting conditions this year, but that could end witb a blizzard nellt week. Planting now is risky." She added that a bulb "planted too late to develop roots will still send up a flower stalk in spring, and that stalk will need water and nutrients as it develops. A spring -emerjling bulb without roots w1ll die, primarily because there are no roots to provide water to supply the growth." Well-tended lawns, mean- • ~~ while, are resilient aod should perform normal'¥ through tb_e nellt grow1~ season, she said. : "In the past few yeat~. people have moved toward one fertilizer applicatisll per year, for maintenanC!: and environmental reasons. A widely recommended target date for a one-time application is late fall, generally during that window of lime between the last mowing and the ground freezing. The rationale is that fenilizer is taken up by the grass plants in late fall while thetr roots are still active, and stored in the root systems, providing for a quick green-up in spring without an exuberant !lush of early season llrowth. "This year m1ght present a different scenario," she said. "I suspect that some of those nutrients have already been used during the green growth of the past several weeks and that fertility levels in spring will be low." Stack, however, isn't recommending that die-hard gardeners take tbeir planti· ng paraphernalia out of the potting sheds anytime soon, despite the current warm temperatures. "There's lots of wintef ahead of us," she said, "and lam hoping for many snowfalls. r have not put away my snowshoes and I expect to use them many times in the next few months.

Troops in Somalia go lwuse-to-lwuse in search ofweapons BY MOHAMED OlADHASSAN ~onday,Januaryss,aoo7 WASHINGTON (AP) Vice President Dick Cheney said Sunday the Pentagon and CIA are not violating people's rights by examining the banking and credit records of hundreds of Americans and others suspected of tenurism or espionage in the United States. Rep. Silvestre Reyes, DThxas the new chainnan of. the House Intellige~ Co1111lllttee, said his panel will be the Judge of that. National security letters permit the executive branch to seek records about poop!~ in terrorism and spy mvesugations without a judge's approval or grand jury subpoena. "'The Defense Department gets involved because we've got hundreds of bases inside the United States that are potential terrorist targets," Cheney said '"The Depanment of Defense has legitimate authority in this area. This is an authority that goes back three or four decades. It was reaffumed in the Patriot Act," he said. "It's perfectly le~itimate act\vitr There's nothing wrong WJth 11 or illegal. It doesn't violate people's civil rights." In a statement Sunday, Reyes promised that his panel would take a careful look at those claims. "Any expansion by the department into intelhgence collection, particularly on U.S.• soil, is something our committee will thoroughly review," Reyes said "We want our intelligence professionals to have strong tools that will enable them to inlemlpt the planning process of our enerrues and to stop attacks against our country," he said. "But in doing so, we also want those tools to comply fully with the law and the Constitution." The Pentagon and the CIA, to a lesser extent, have used this little-known power, officials said.

"As ·a key component of the lrdqi social fabric, the Iraqi Sunni community must be included as partners in buildi~g Iraq's future,'' said the king, a leading U.S. ally in the Mideast. Along with other U.S. allies like Egypt and Saudi Arabia, Jordan is concerned about the growing Shiite Muslim influence, stretching from Iran through Iraq, Syria and Lebanon . The fear is that the hardline Tehran government will dominate the Mideast and give rise to more extremism, jeopardizing a Mideast settlement and threatening. those nations . Despite signs of life in the moribund Israeli-Palestinian peace process, Rice encountered skepticism from both sides in two days of meet· ings with Israeli and Palestinian leaders. Abbas rejected one idea Sunday that Israel considers promising: the establish· ment of a provisional Palestinian state in temporary borders. Abbas also complained to Rice that Israel has not followed through on promises made at his much-awaited meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert last month.

The leners have generated criticism and coon challenges from civil Uberties advocates who claim they invade the privacy of Americans'lives, even though banks and other financial institutions typically tum over the financial records voluntarily. The vast majority of national security leners are issued by the FBI, but in rare circumstances they have been used by the CIA before and after Sept. II ,. according to a U.S. intelligence official. The CIA has used these noncompulsory leners in espionage investigations and other circumstances, the official said.

BYTHEBEND - The Daily Sentinel Cheney defends bank, credit records searches by Penhlgon, CL4 Secretary of state says she heard Abbas' demand for stronger U.S. push on Mideast peace RAMALLAH, West Bank . - President Bush's top diplomat tried to assure Palestinians on Sunday she has heard their demands for a stronger U.S. hand to guide peace efforts with IsraeL Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, however, offered no new plans and gave few clues to how she views recent initiatives proposed by others. "I have heard loud and clear the call for deeper American enga§ement in these processes,' she said after meeting with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. "You will have my commitment to do precisely that" Seeking to strengthen Abbas in his power struggle with the Palestinian Hamas faction, Rice said it is time "to look at the political horizon and begin to show to the Palestinian people how we might move toward a Palestinian state." A proposed $85 million grant to train and equip the historically troubled security service loyal to Abbas would come with strings attached, Rice said. A State Department official said none of the money would go to purchase weapons. Abbas promised the money would not be, misused. The Palestinian leader, whose Fatah faction lost elections a year ago to the Islamic militants of Hamas, said the weapons were needed to impose order after weeks of Fatah-Hamas fighting that has killed 35 people. The dispute has alarmed some of Abbas' Arab neighbors, including Jordan 's King Abdullah IL He has warned of the possibility of three civil wars in the Middle East - in Iraq, the Palestinian territories and Lebanon - and asked for renewed U.S. diplomacy.

PageAa ~onday,Januaryt5,2007 ANNIE'S MAILBOX Sons friend won't go any further BY KATHY MITCHEU liND MARCY Suo/4R Dear Annie: My 22-yearold son's best fnend, "Jeremy," has evidently taken a liking to my wife. He approached her once with an offer to be intimate. At that time, we both laughed it off. Then he decided to send her a text message in the wee hours of the morning, when he might possibly have been drunk. When I asked him about it, he said he wanted to get ahold of me but didn't have my number. Some time passed and nothing else happened until last night. Jeremy called at 3 a.m. He was del1nitely drunk this time. My wife kindly told him to go to bed, but he didn't give up. He phoned three or four more times, and each time my wife told him nicely to sleep it off. We finally had to tum the phone off so we could get some rest His last call was at 4:25 a.m. I trust my wife and had complete confidence in her handling the situation at first, but now I don't know what to do. She says he probably won't remember the calls, and if he does, he'll be horribly embarrassed by the whole thing. I don't think it's that innocent I am tom. Jeremy is my son's best friend, and they have big dreams with their band. I don't want to hurt any!)ne, but I also don't want a strain on my marriage. This boy has been part of our family for almost eight years. Now he is apparently a young man with rather adventurous ideas. What do I do'! - Mrs. Robinson's Husband Dear Mr. Robinson: Jeremy is smitten with your wife, but if you trust her, it won't go any further. Since he is your son's best friend. it would be best if she could disabuse him of his romantic notions in a gentle manner. allowing him to get over her without causing any permanent damage. Should the drunken rants increase, or if Jeremy attempts anything more, then it w11l be time for the two of you to sit down with him (when he's sober) and tell him this has to stop. Dear Annie : A friend stayed at my place because her apartment was being fumigated the day before Thanksgiving. After I told my friend she could stay with me, I was invited to my sister-in-law's for our family dinner. I then asked if my friend could come if I brought along a dish. I didn't want her left alone. I didn't say anything 10 my friend until I was sure it would be OK with my family. My sister-in-law left me a screaming message that what I did was wrong. She told me I simply should have said I couldn't come and it was rude to ask to bring a guest I didn't know that asking first was bad. What do you think? - Etiquette Faux Pas Dear Etiquette: You did nothing wrong. When you have an unexpected houseguest and you are invited to a family even!, it is good manners to ask if the guest would be welcome, and if not, to decline the invitation. The fact that this was a fam- ily Thank sgiving dinner means your friend should definitely have been included, knowing that she would otherwi se he alone on a holiday. Shame on your sisterin·law for being so meanspirited. Dear Annie: Thanks for ti1e nifty tips about deterring pesky cats.

Develop your leadership style workshop Feb. 13 PIKETON - It seems leadership is one of the most talked about and least understood phenomena today. . While we can identify · : · leaders in our midst, it is · · very difticult to define the exact style and attributes that make successful leaders. While personality typicillly does not need to change when assuming a leadership role. being an effective leader does take work. Developing leadership skills often occurs through self-study, evalua• tion sessions, and on-thejob experiences. The OS U South Centers Business .Development Network will present "Developing Your Leadership Style" on Feb. 13. This unique event will begin by helping participants explore their personality preferences and types.

According to the practically oracular authority of Princeton's Bernard Lewis, never in l ,200 years did Muslims even think of Anti-Semitism. let alone act on it - not until European Christian empire-builders introduced the pathology to the region in the 19th century, what with tales of Christkillers and, later, the forged "Protocols of the Elders of Zion." It wasn't that those first 1,200 years of Islam and sharia were exactly paradise for Jews, Lewis said. but Jews were "tolerated" so long as they accepted their "iDferiority." This was a pretty breezy way to dismiss centuries of violence. oppression. fear and degradation intlicted, accordinP, to Islamic law, on "dhimmi ' Jews (and on "dhimmi" Christians for that matter), as copiously documented by historian Bat Ye'or. But Lewis stuck to this story: "Anti-Semitism was introduced into the Middle East by Christians." Even oracles get it wrong sometimes, I guess, because Lewis's explanation doesn't square with a long and vivid historical rewrd, and that includes the Koran. The notion that Christians introduced MIJslims to AntiSemitism may well be the conventional wisdom indeed, it may even be that nonagenarian Lewis is the source of thlll conventional wisdom- but just as surely as Anti-Semitism historically existed in Christianity, it also historically existed · in Isl am. And I can actually footnote that statement because . quite by chance, the same week the documentary aired. I happened to read the first chapter of a forthcoming book ~ailed "The Legacy of Islamic Anli-Semitism" by Andrew G. Bostom, author of "The Legacy of Jihad." Bostom examines the origins of Anti-Semitism in the Koran (such as in 2:6 1, which decrees an eternal curse of humiliation and wretchedness on Jews, repeated in J: 112), in the canonical Cllmmentaries on the Koran, and in the historical record. And it all begins practically 1.000 years before. say. Queen Victoria made herself an empress. The question is, does AntiSemitism's origin in Islam, whether Christian or Islamic, become a chickenegg question for scholars, or does it actually matter? It matters a great deal. and here's why.

Those are lame excuses. The latest rant comes from Shutterfly Inc. chairman Jim Clark. He said he is leaving the online photo company because the Sarbanes-Oxley law has taken reform "too far" and was crimping his ability to lead the way he wanted. Next time he reads about another company swept up in the stock-options backdating scandal or hears of increased fraud in foreign financi~l markets, then maybe he'll wake up to the benefits of reform. Sarbanes-Oxley _ or Sarbox, as it's come to be known _ was passed in 2002 after scandals that led to the collapse of Enron, WorldCom and others. It has forced companies to rethink how they handle everything from their dis·closure of information to shareholders to the independence of their boards. It's despised in many corners of corporate America. Those who complain often focus on the time and expense needed to put polictes and procedures in place. Of particular hatred ts Sectio11 404, wbich is designed to ensure companies' books are in order by forcing them to take on the laborious task of reviewing their internal controls. The focus of Clark's ire is that the rules prevent him from doing his job as director because he also owns 30 percent of Shuttertly's stock, making him its biggest shareholder. Clark, a highly regarded Silicon Valley entrepreneur, is best known as the founder of Netscape Communications. "As I understand it. Sarbox dictates that I not chair any committee due to the size of my holdings, not be on the compensation committee kcause of the loan I once made to the company, not be on the governance committee. and it even dictates that some other board member must carry out the perfunctory duties of the Chairman. What's left is liability and constraints on stock transactions, neither of which excite me." he wrote in a letter to the board that was released Monday. Others think the problem is that U.S. markets are now losing ground to competitors abroad due to the increased regulation. Among those beating that drum is the Committee on Capital Market s Regulation, a priv<llely funded group of acad!)mic and finance experts 'Who came together to study the burdens that reform has placed on U.S. businesses. "Firms must choose to come to the U.S.; they do nul have to come," it said in a report issued late last year. "In the shift of regulatory intensity, balance has been lost to the competitive disadvantage of U.S. financial markets." Some of the ideas being bounced around to repair such balance include making it harder to l'harge companies with crimes and reducing the liability uf auditors in shareholder lawsuits over accounting fraud . The critics have already gollen some of what they wanted. The Securities and Exchange Commission in December announced pl<m' to relax some Sarbox requirements for smaller companies. In addition. the Ju,tice Department has scaled back some of its aggressive legal tactics that were authorized after the scandals. It now restricts prosecutors' ability to crack down on companies that withhold confidential information during criminal fraud investigations. But before too much reform goes, wnsider what would happen if things went back to the old ways. Recent research by the British accounting finn BOO Stoy Hayward found the annual reported instances of business fraud in the United Kingdom jumped by a lhird last year and the value of the reported fraud rose 40 percent. Many of the listings who !led U.S. markets because of Sarbox have gone to the U.K. U.S. accounting expert Jack Ciesielski points out that "you're known by the company you k~cp" _ meanmg those companies . tleeing to markets with less stringent rules may find themselves sinking to the level of their peers. "Investors should be thankful that seedier companies have found the U.S. markets too difticult to easily game because of Section 404," Ciesielski, who writes the newsletter The Analysts' Accounting Observer, said in his Web blog. · It's also worth remembering that the backdating of stock options, which involves companies manipu!at ing the grant dates of options, greatly diminished alter Sarbox because executives were required to report option awards to the SEC within two business days. Before that, they had until the lOth day of the next month to report. which gave them wiggle room to maneuver the grant dates. Some members of Congress have mentioned the possibility of reforming Sarbox in the wming year. Anyone with a stake in U.S. companies should hope that their effort .doesn't get far. www.mydailysentinel.com STAFF REPORT NEWSOMVOAILVSENTINEL.COM NELSONVILLE - The Appalachian Community Vtslting Nurse Association (ACVNA), a non-profit organization serving clinents in Athens, Hocking, Meigs, Viton and piarts of Morgan and Perry counties since 1982, has opened an endowment fund with the Nelsonville-based Foundation for Appalachian · Ohio. The purpose of the endowment fund is to help secure the future sustainability of the organization and encourage agency growth. It was created to allow donors to designate gifts to support the work of the home health and hospice organization in perpetuity. The home health services of the agency celebrates its 25th anniversary this year and is the oldest organization provided home health service in Southeast Ohio. Mamie Frey. CEO/President and founder of the organization, said the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio was an obvious choice for the endowed fund because of the Foundation··s reputation and because it is representative of the region ACVNAHHS serves. She also retlected on what the fund would mean for the future of the organization. "It's been a terrifically gratifying and positive experience to see our effon bear the fruits that it has," Frey said. "I am hopeful that this fund helps secure our future endeavors." Frey pointed out the network of individuals who have helped build and support the agency and how Important they have been to ACVNA's success. "We did not do this alone - so many people have been involved over the last 25 years," Frey said. Today's program of ser· vices evolved from the original Athens County Visiting Nurse Association started in 1982 by Frey and fellow nurse Kathy Dansky. They recognized a need for home care in the Athens area, and their mutual love of community health was the driving force behind the creation and birth of the ACVNA. As time went on, they recognized a growing need for hospice and paraprofessional services. This prompted the development of the Hospice and Health Care of Appalachia in 1984. In 1997. these two agencies merged, bringing together the strengths and expenise of the professional c;;tre providers in both or~a­ mzatwns. Appalachmn Community Visiting Nurse Association, Hospice & Health Services, Inc. recognizes that home health care is important not only in Athens but to the larger Appalachian community as well. To designate a gift to the ACVN A Fund, please contact the Foundation directly at 740-753-llll or visit www.appalachianohio.org.

There are 350 days left in the year. This is the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. Today's Highlight in History: On Jan. 15, 1929, civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. was born in Atlanta. On this date: In 1559, England's Queen Elizabeth I was crowned in Westminster Abbey. In 1777, the people of New Connecticut declared their independence. (The tiny republic later became the state of . Vermont.) In I844, the University of Notre Dame received its charter from the state of Indiana. Thought for Today: "I refuse to accept the idea that the ' is-ness' of man's present nature makes him morally incapable of reaching up for the 'ought-ness' that forever confronts him." - Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968). ~onday,Januaryt~,aoo7 All Stjles inci'Uded FREE 7/16" Pad wlpurchase of Carpet FREE No Opligation Quotc;s f'BEE Removal of Old Carpet FBEE Furniture Moving Submitted photo Acid mine drainage (AMD) is created by the oxidation of iron pyrites in abandoned underground and surface coal mmes.

Departments rarely involve outside reviewing agencies and records often reveal only scant details about the incidents, The Columbus Dispatch and The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer reponed on Sunday. All 4.427 uses of nondeadly force by Cleveland police were ruled justified in a nearly three-year period from 2003 through last September. One case involving an off-duty officer using pepper spray was deemed "inappropriate" but justi· fied, The Plain Dealer reponed. The investigations were done by district supervisors who directly oversee the officers involved - a prac· lice that the U.S. Justice Depanment warned the city in 2002 could create a conflict of interest. The Dispatch reviewed 112 police shootings in Columbus from 1996 through 2005. Of those, six ended with rulings that offi· cers violated department policy. One was fired. Franklin Coun1y grand JUnes independently reviewed only the 25 shoot· ings that resulted in deaths. Most 2006 ca~es are still under review. The newspapers noted .either missing records or a dearth of public informa· lion. About 30 percent of the cases reviewed by The Plain Dealer - after making a database from 238,000 electronic records and 2,000 paper ones including arrests, use of force repons and citi· zen complaints - were incorrectly logged or had missing records. The depanment itseff was not analyzing data or tracking which officers used force most often.

Deuce McAlliste r and rookie sensation Reggie Bush gave this batte~ed city a reason to throw itself a party, carrying the New Orleans Saints where they've never been before - one game from the Super Bowl. To constant chants of "DEUCE !" or "REG-GIE! REG-GIE! " the Saints used an assortment of spectacular play s to beat the Philadelphia Eagles 27-24. "This year, some things have happened for us and it's like, wow, this may be destiny," McAllister said. " It means everything," Bush said. "All that stuff we went through as a team, these are the type of games we live for. And this ~arne is even bigger for the city." The Saints are the first team in NFL hi story to make a conference championship after losing 13 or more games the previous season. With victory secured for the Saints ( 11 -6) on McAllister's powerful rushes for a clinching first down to run out the clock, team owner Tom Benson did his "Benson lloogie" on the field. The players hugged and saluted their long-sufAPphoto fering fans while a jazz band New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (9 ) reacts at the end of a 27-24 win over the belted out tunes.

Colts use defense to eliminate Ravens BALTIMORE (AP) Adam Vinatieri and the resurgent Indianapolis defense helped the Colts heap another dose of misery upon Baltimore. Signed during the offseason specifically for his playoff experience, Vinatieri kicked five field goals Saturday to put his name in the NFL record book and Caf_f¥ Indianapolis past the Balumore Ravens 15-6 and into the AFC championship game. , Although unspectacular, Colts quarterback Peyton Manning was efficient enough to make up for some of his previous playoff failures and keep alive his hope of playing in the Super Bowl for the fll"St time. Indianapolis never trailed in eliminatinf the No. 2-seeded Ravens ( 3-4), who were coming off a fll"St-round bye and poised to extract a measure of revenge agai~L">t the franchise that broke the hearts of Baltimore fans by sneaking out of the city to Indianapolis in March 1984. The third-seeded Colts (144) will next face the winner of Sunday's game between San Diego and New England. If the Patriots win, the game will be in Indianapolis. Vinatieri won two Super • Bowls with late tield goals and scored 117 points in the postseason for New England. He · was signed by Indianapolis as a free agent to replace Mike Vanclerjagt, who missed a 46-yard field goal with 17 seconds left last season in the Colts' 21- 18 playoff loss to Pittsburgh. Vinatieri justified the acquisition wtth a flawless performance Saturday. He connected on field goal tries of 23, 42. 51 , 48 and 35 yards: the fourth kick gave him set an NFL-record 33 career postseason field goals. Vinatieri. who kicked three field goals last week against Kansas City., broke the mark of 32 held by Gary Anderson. The record-settin8 Ieick came with I0:57 left m the third quarter and put the Colts ahead 12-3. That was enough support for a defense that during the regular season finished last against the run. The Colts did not allo.w a touchdown, held Jamal Lewis to 53 yards rushing also forced four turnovers - intercepting Steve McNair twice and recovering two fumbles. Like Vinatieri, McNair was obtained during the offseason because of his success in the playoffs. With McNair leadmg the way, the Ravens fin- ished with nine wins in 10 games for the best regularseason record in franchise history. But he went 18-for-29 for only 173 yards, and Baltimore managed only two field goals by Matt Stover in its lirst playolf game since 2003. Manning tinished 15-for30 for 170 yards. The victory improved his career playoll record to 5-6. , Baltimore fans were looking forward to thisJame since the Colts advanc with a 23-8 win over Kansas City last week. Many in Baltimore have never reaDy gotten over the Colts' move to Indianapolis in 1984. and those emotions carne to the forefront Saturday. In a tribute to former Baltimore Colts quarterback John Unitas, who wore No. 19, someone in the lower deck unfurled a sign that read: "19 ,Wfi.L ALWAYS BE BETTER THAN 18," the number worn by Manning. The record · crowd of 71,162 did all it could to hinder Manning's calls at the line, but he a,Ppeared undaunted by the no1se from tbe outset. After the Ravens went three-and-out on thei r frrst possession. Manning put together an 11 -play drive that produced a tield goal. The volume of the crowd dimmed even further during the ensuing drive, when Ravens tight end Todd Heap lost a fumble at the Baltimore 31 after being hit by Colts cornerback Nick Harper. Referees ruled Heap down, reversed the call after Indianapolis coach Tony Dungy challenged the call, and Vinatieri followed with a tield goal for a 6-0 lead. Baltimore halved ' the deficit with a 40-yard field goal ~:arly in the second quarter. Ed Reed then picked of( a pass by Manning, and the Ravens moved to the Indianapolis 5 before Antoine Bethea intercepted McNair's third-down throw at the I. It was the closest Baltimore would get to scoring a touchdown. The Colts then held the ball for six minutes before Vinatieri kicked a 51 -yard field goal that hit the crossbar and bounced through. l,ate in the half, Manning gave the impress ion he was running run out the clock with a 9-3 lead before launching a long pass to Aaron Moorehead. The pas s was · caug ht, but it took Moore head out of bounds before he could get two feet in . head coach Harvey Brown. "Tonight wasn't one of our best effons. Our foul shooting, I think that was one of the big letdowns tonight and those kinds of things tear your spirits down ana I think: that is part of what happened tonillht. "We would just be close and then something would go wrong. We just need a little bit of luck and nothing seemed to go our way." One of the key moments that seemed to define the way the evening fell for River Valley came in the waning secoJJdS of the third quarter. The Lady Raiders had an open layup opponunity to tie the score, but missed the layup and the putback: at the buzzer to keep Meigs ahead 31-29 after three. From there it was up to both teams foul shooting during a night that saw 56 total fouls called and six players foul out of the game - three for each school. The Lady Marauders carne out on top from the line, shooting 61 percent (24-of39) led by Meghan Clelland who scored 14 of her game high 18 points at the line. Whitney Smith was second with nine points while Melissa Grueser hil!l seven markers and had a team high 10 rebounds. Meigs guard Calle Wolfe, a reliable scorer, was held without a field goal and was forced to play limited time due to foul trouble. River Valley, ort the other hand, hit just 45 percent (14of-31) from the line despite winning the free t)lrow battle in the first half. Kayla Smith paced the Lady Rruders with a double-double of 10 points and I0 boards, while Rachel Walburn connected for seven (JOints, all of which came at the line. Brooke Taylor added nine points and 10 boards for the horne team. Meigs jumped out front quickly, taking a 9-0 run to start the game while seemingly holding the game in its hands. But the Lady Raiders responded on defense and rebounded to an 11-6 deficit after one quarter. River Valley then kept up the attm.:k in the second, coming within one for the first time in the game at 11-10 with 6:52 left before the half. The two teams then traded bucket~ the rest of the luarter with Meigs being the ast to score to take a 21-18 lead into Redmen from PageBl to take control of the game at 46-34 in the waning minutes of the first half. That stretch was arguably the best the Redmen had played all season. Walsh (16-3. 7- 1 AMC) was able to ¥et back to within seven potnts at halftime, trailing the Redmen 48-4 I at the tum. The talented Cavaliers opened the second half the way they had opened the game; very strong. Walsh came out of the locker room and went on a 17-4 run to regain the lead at 58-52. Walsh increased the advantage to 10 jl?ints once again at 64-54 wtth 12:12 remaining and seemed to be on the verge of blowing the Redmen out. With their backs against the wall and the game teetering on getting out of hand the Redmen fought back to within four points at 69-65. Rio would get to within three points at 84-81 as the Cavaliers left the door open by not convening at the free throw line. The game got away from lhe Redmen late ·as head coach Ken French was hit with a double technical and Walsh's Corey Jones canned all foi.IT free throws to give the Cavaliers some breathing room. "I bad just had en~b," French swd. "I let my emotions get lhe best of me and I apologized to the team in the locker room. "They were deserved." French said of the technicals. Rio placed foi.IT players in double figures led by senior guard Chris Dinwiddie, who had a monster week. Dinwiddie scored 21 points after netting 24 in the Mount Vernon Nazar~ne loss on Tuesday. Freshman guard , Marcus Manns and sopho- • the break. "It is kind of a psychological thing sometimes if you can get the lead it makes the other team think twice about what they are doing, we just never could put them in that position," said Brown. Following the half the two teams went back to work with similar results as neither team managed to pull away. But after the missed layup just before the buzzer allowed Meigs to keep its two point lead, Ri ver Valley simply seemed to fall apart. The strong free thro w shooting in the first three quarter collapsed while the Lady Marauders only got better. Meijls opened the fourth quarter JUSt like the first with a 7-0 run and from there River Valley just couldn' t catch up as Meigs j)layed keep away and held on for the 12-point victory. "The kids on the bench really stepped up tonight," Wolfe said. "We are just tickled to death to win and now with four weeks of the season left and the tournament comin~ up, we are hoping this wm will boost us a little bit." Cayla Lee added six points in the Meigs win, followed by Amber Burton with five points and eight rebounds, Catie Wolfe with three points and Brittany Preast and Adrian Bolin with two points apiece. River Valley saw Kirsten Carter come up with eight points, Mackenzie Cluxton added three points, Amanda Hager had two points and Courtney Circle had onl! point. Margo Fraley did nqt get into the scoring column, but did come down with four boards and had four blocked shots in the game. The Lady Marauders also won the reserve contest 35-27 over River Valley. Meigs will return to the hardcoun Monday when Point Pleasant vistts Rock Springs while River Valley gears up for a meeting at Chesapeake also on Monday.

Brndy and the New England P.rltriots shrll:ked league MVP LaD-dinian Tomlinson w1d the Chargers on Sunday, winning 24-2 r to move withm one win of their founh Super Bowl trip in six seasons. Brndy overcame three interceptions, his career playoff hi~;h, to lead the Patriots to I I pmnts in 3:26 late in the game. He and coach Bill Behchick now have a 12- I postsew;on record and are heading to Indianapolis for the AFC championship game next Sunday. '"That was as tough of a game a~ I can ever remember playing," Bmdy said. While the Chargers respecteJ the mystique Bmdy and the P.dtriots had built with Super Bowl wins following the 2001. 2002 and 2004 seasons. they hoped to be the ones nusing the Lombardi Trophy in Miami on Feb. 4. San Diego had nine players voted to the Pro Bowl team and tive to the All-Pro team. And it had been supercharged by Tomlinson, who became the most prolilic scorer in one season in NFL history with 31 touchdowns and 186 points while winning the rushing title with I ,8 15 yards. But Brady is the one who's been there before in January. And nearly always has wonit was Brady's 24th career game-winning drive. He left behind some frustrated Chargers, including Tomlinson, who went alter an unidentified Patriots player when the game ended. Tomlinson ran for 123 yards and two scores, and caught two passes for 64 yards. Tomlinson said he was upset that some Patriots were dancing on the Chargers logo at mtdfield after they had silenced the record crowd of 68,810 at Qualcollllll Stadium ck Chargers and wrecked the Chargers' season , which included an NFL-best 14-2 record and 8-0 home mark in the regular season. '' I would never reac·t in that way. I was very upset," Tomljnson said. "When you go to the middle of our field anu stan uoing the dance Shawnc Meniman is known for, that is disrespectful. They showed no cia" and maybe that comes from the head coach." Merriman, nicknamed "Lights Out." did a spasmodic dance to celebmte each of his NFL-high 17 sacks. "We lost to a better team today," Tomlinson said. " Hopefully the next opponunity we have we 'll leam something from this." The winrling points came on a 31-yard field goal by Stephen Gostkowski with I: I0 left . That capped a 72-yard drive highlighted by a 49-yard pass to Recne Caldwell, who left the Chargers as a free agent after last SCll';Qll. Coincidentally. the man the rookie Gostkowski replaced, Adam Yinatieri, kicked live field goals for all of Indianapolis' points in a 15-6 win at Baltimore on Saturday. With the Patriots trailing 2113, Brady threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to the wideopen Caldwell with 4:36 to play. The Patriots tied it on a tricky 2-point conversion, snapPing the ball directly to runnmg back Kevin Faulk, who was standing next to Brady and ran through the middle of the line. San Diego's Pro Bowl kicker Nate Kaeding was short on a 54-yard field goat try with 3 seconds left. It was a crushing end to San Diego's season, and could lead to coach Many Schottenheimer's ouster. Schottenheimer fell to 5-13 in the postseason in his career, with Cleveland, Kansas City and San Diego. Although he has a year left on his contract, at more than $3 million. he and general manager A.J. Smith have had an tcy relationship for months, and the front - oftlce felt this team was built for a deep playotl run. Schollenheimer will no doubt be criticized for going for it on fowth-and-11 from the New England 30-yard line in the fourth 4uaner ruther than having Kaeding try a field goat . Philip Rivers, the Chargers' tirst-year staning 4uanerback, was sacked by Mike Vrabel and fumbled, giving the Patriots the ball at their 35. The Chargers had four turnovers and made other critical mistakes. Punt returner Eric Parker had a double muff to give the Patriots the ball un their 31 late in the third quarter. Following a third-and-13 on which Brndy fumbled and Matt Light recovered, Chargers cornerback Dmyton Florence head-butted tight end Daniel Gr.tham and drew a 15-yard unsponsmanlike conduct penalty. That led to Gostkowsk.i's 24-yard field that pulled the Patriots to 1413. Tomlinson scored on a 3yard run with 8:35 left in the game for a 21-13 lead. On the next Patriots drive. Brady was intercepted by safety Marlon McCree, who, rnther than going down. tried for a return and was hit by Troy Brown and fumbled, with Caldwell recovering. The Chargers challenged, but the play was upheld, and the Patriots had the ball at the Chargers 32. Five plays later, Brady hit Caldwell and Faulk added the conversion. Tomlinson scored on a 2yard run in the second quaner for a 7-3 lead.

BY RicK ClAHo ASSOCIATED I'RESS CHICAGO Robbie Gould won it after Rex Grossman didn 't lose it and the Chicago Bears are back in the NFC championship game tor the first time in 18 years. Two swings of the foot by their All-Pro kicker - the final une a 49-ym·d field goal 4:58 into overtime - offset any shortcomings m Grossman's passing and pushed the Bears to a 27-24 victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. The oft-criticized Grossman did come through in ovenime, delivering a clutch completion to set up the winning kick. The Bears will host the Saints next Sunday in the NFC championship game. Chicago has not been to the Super Bowl since January 1986 and New Orleans never has been that far. "We win one game, we're in the Super Bowl, two wins away from having a ring on my tingcr tot the rest of my life," Grossman said. Seattle got the ball first in ovenime, but Chicago's Israel ldonije forced an 18-yard punt by Ryan Plackemeier with a strong rush. Grossman hit Rashied Davis for a thirddown pass of 30 yards to the Seattle 36, and the Bears ( 143) moved into position for the winning points. · "I've learned that he knows how to bounce back from tough situations," coach Lovie Smith said of Grossman. "He's been roasted the past couple weeks over all different kinds of things. He is our quanerback.... There was a lot of pressure on him and our entire football team and I thought they handled it well." Gould, who entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent and is now headed to the Pro Bowl, hit the 49yarder, setting off a wild celebration at Soldier Field. Earlier, he tied the game at 24, with a 41-yarder with 4:28 leti in the fourth quaner. He made his tirst 24 field goats this season, and 32 of 36 overall. "I didn't even watch the end of it. 1 hit it right wh6re 1 wanted it to go," Gould said.

He had a pair of touchdowns ru~~i·s hard to say 'If we had this or that,"' Alexander said. "It was, 'Nab we came up short." ~ Grossman, whose season has been up-and-down since a hot stan, completed 21-of-38 for 282 yards with an interception. It was quite an upgrade from his final performance of the regular season, when he had a quarterback rnting of 0.0 in a loss to Green Bay. Late in the fourth quaner, the Bears stacked up Alexander on a third-and-1 for no gain at the Chicago 44, and the Seahawks decided to go for it. But Matt Hasselbeck bobbled the snap and Lance Briggs threw Alexander for a 2-yard loss, turning the ball over to the Bears with just under two minutes to go. "If the snap was smooth I could have run for a TD," Alexander said. "It was delinitely the best I felt all season runmng the ball." After a short completion and two of Grossman's passes were deOected - one was nearly intercepted - the Bears punted. The Seahawks got the ball at the 20 with I :38 to go and moved to the Bears 45 before Tank Johnson, whose legal problems have been a headache for his team this season, sacked Hasselbeck. .

Earlier, as Gould made a lield goal that would have tied the game, Seattle's Leroy Hill was called for iumping up and trying to induce a false stan . Instead of the three points, the Bears got 5 extra yards on the penalty and a first down at the Seattle 13 .
