Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel was in attendance at Cincinnati Elder's "Pit" on Friday night to watch Kyle Rudol_ph . a football star who also IS Elder's top basketball player. Rudolph , a 6-foot- 7 junior. had 20 points to lead Elder past Moeller 58-50 before a seliout crowd of about 2.000. Tressel IS recruiting Rudolph as a tight end, with Rudolph also consid· ermg Notre Dame. Michi gan, Tennessee and Virginia for football . "I knew he was up there." Rudolph said of Tressel. "I think it's pretty neat that he was here at Elder. Hopefully, we made him proud." Elder (15-1 ) and Moeller ( 16-1) have lost only to each other this season. BUCKS TO BE: With 67 points in a 106-10 I over· time win over Shelby, Upper Sandusky's Jon Diebler moved into second place on Ohio's all-time sconng list.

WARMING TREND: Mount Notre Dame has MASSILLON (AP) - A hard play or an assault that's what authorities are trying to figure out after looking at film of a player being injured during a high school basketball game last weekend. "They were going up for the ball and one guy got cracked in the eye." Perry Township Police Chief Timothy Escola said Tuesday. "Was it intentional or an accident? It's very hard to tell looking at tape." Kenny Frease of Massillon Perry was injured midway through the third quarter of his team's 68-54 win Saturday at Canton Central Catholic. Cory Berry's right hand contacted the right side of Frease's face as the two players pursued a rebound. Frease, a 7-foot junior, suffered two broken bones in his right eye socket and he osu fromPageBl appeared to be no more than one-third full at the start and was just over half full in the second half.

STAYING PERFECT : Since the Wayne County Athletic League consolidat· ed before the 1954-55 school year, not one of its member schools has go ne through the league 's foot· ball season unbeaten and returned to go undefeated in boys basketball. But after a 7-0 campaign in which it won the school's first outright football championship. Northwestern's basketball team is 12-0 in WCAL play with two games remaining. "It's something I've wondered about ... but something we hadn ' t even talked about until we got through this past weekend," said Northwestern coach Mark Alberts Jr.. who played at Akron . "Going undefeated in this league is not something that happens very often." has potential damage to his right eyelid. Escola watched film recorded by both teams but said he hasn't finished interviewing witnesses. He hopes to wrap up the investigation in a couple days. Frease's coach, Rob Toth, watched enhanced video of the play and said his player was hit with "a closed fist." He called the play "an intentional cheap shot." Chris Newlon, an attorney for Berry who was sit· ting in the stands near where the play in question happened, said the 6-foot senior at Central Catholic did nothing wrong in his pursuit of the ball. "I didn't see a fist. 1 challenge anybody to show me a fist," said Newlon, who also viewed a replay. "What it looked like to me is he went up and 'made an effort to swipe at the ball. and in the process hit the kid in the face. That's a far cry from blatant. cheap shot. intentional." Berry was verbally abused by Perry fans at the game and has been threat ened, Newlon sa id . "Everyone feels bad the young man from Perry ended up with the injuries he ended up with .... But if anyone is owed an apology, it is my client," Newlon said. Frease's right eye remained swollen shut Monday. when he visited teammates at practice. It is the second time this season he has been hurt , having missed nine earlier games with a wrist injury. "''m hoping I get back in the next couple weeks, but I'm not sure if that's possible," said Frease, who was · scheduled to visit doctors Wednesday and Thursday. ''The eyelid may have some muscle damage," said his mother. Marge Frease. "The muscle that controls the eye movement may be snagged in the break. and he may need surgery." Massillon City Prosecutor John Simpson said authorities must determme whether Frease was injured in a physical play or a criminal act. "There's a certain amount of stuj'f that's part of the game," Simpson said. "It certainly has to be something that stands out and it's over and above playing ." There have been previous cases of criminal charges filed because of a player's actions during a sporting event at both the high school and professional level. Bob Goldring, assistant commissioner of the Ohio High School Athletic Association, said a soccer player m southeast Ohio was charged with a misde· meanor a few years ago for throwing an elbow and a baseball player in the Youngstown area was charged 10 years ago for a high slide into second base . "It's rare for something like that to occur. but there's other examples of it happening," Goldring said . In the NHL, Todd Bertuzzi of the Vancouver Canucks punched Colorado's Steve Moore in the side of the head and drove him face-first into the ice. breaking three vertebrae in Moore's neck in March 2004. Bertuzzi later pleaded guilty in a •Vancouver court to crimi· nal assault. He faced up to 18 months tn prison. but was given a conditional discharge. the Buckeyes got some breathing room when Ivan Harris hit a 3-pointer on the first possession of the half and Conley followed with one from the right corner to push the lead to I 0. Oden picked up his third foul with Ohio State up 4132 at the 17:20 mark and the Wolverines took advantage when he went to the bench. Forcing the ball inside and pounding the offensive boards, they cut the lead to 47-43 on a pair of foul shots by Lester Abram. The Buckeyes bridged the next 8 112 minutes with Othello Hunter and Matt Terwilliger on the front line. trying to keep Sims and Udoh from hulling their way to the basket. When Oden returned at the 8:52 mark. the lead was 56-52. Hunter had five of the Buckeyes ' blocked shots and also had nine rebounds. While the Wolverines were managing just a free throw over the next 4 minutes. Ron Lewis hit a 3. Oden tossed on a long hook shot and then he and Hunter each blocked shots at the other end. Conley then scored on a drive through traffic and the lead was back to 65-53. 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ;;o ('I ." rs • \ .ol. :i(>, No. t :It Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

REED POMEROY - The first steps m implementing Meigs County 's Enhanced 911 service were outlined Wednesday when the county 's 911 Planning Committee met with Meigs County Commissioners. Skip Dalton of Verizon Communications discussed preliminary steps in implem~nting the service, includ- ing the verification of house and telephone numbers. establishing emergency response zones and han dling funds from the 50cent telephone line charge approved by voters in November. Members of the commit· tee also discussed how the system will operale. where it will operate and what agencies it will dispatch to emergency - scenes. Yesterday's meeting was the first time the comminee has come together since the telephone line fee was approved in November. Dalton has worked with other counties in implementing a 911 serv ice . He said while collection of the 50-cent telephone line charge could begin as soon as April 1, the county will probably not begin receiving the funds until July. Meanwhile. the county must undertake the daunting task of coordinating tele phone numbers with house numbers to form a countv· wide database. a proJC.CI Dalton said will be time consuming.

In December, the troop High-paying state jobs on the rise COLUMBUS (AP) - A number of state employees earning more than $100,000 has increased tenfold in the past decade fueled by a significant jump last year, a newspaper reported. In 2006, I, I. 88 employees of Ohio government were paid $100,000 or more, up 72 percent from 2005, according to a computer analysis published VVednesday by The Columbus Dispatch. The big jump last year can be explained m pan by the fact that a number of employees with salaries just under $100,000 wenf bumped over the threshold by raises they received last year, said Ohio Depanment of Administrative Services spokesman Ben Piscitelli. Inflation also played a tole in the overall increase . A salary of $100,000 today is equivalent to $82,384 in 1996. The analysis, which excluded pubhc universities, showed that the state payroll has remained steady at about $3.1 billion over the past few years, despite efforts by former Gov. Bob Tali to cut the state work force. State records showed there were 71,868 full - and pantime, non-university employees on the payroll in 2006, 64 fewer people than a year earlier. The total was down 4,245 from 2000, however. The salaries of six-figure employees accounted fo·r $134 million in state spending last year. The analysis also showed that men, · on average, earned higher salaries than women and collected three times as much in overtime. Many of the state 's highest paid employees in 2006 left state government following the election of Gov. Ted Strickland and four other Democratic state officeholders. The state's highest paid non-university employee for the past two years was Hong Y. Kim, a physician at Northcoast Behavioral Heaithcare. The $261 ,680 he was paid was about twice that of Taft. Chief Justice Thomas Moyer was the state's highest paid elected official at $151 ,740, while House Chief of Staff Scott Borgemenke was the highest paid legislative staffer at $120,390. State school superintendent Susan Tave Zelman was the state's highest paid non-university educator at $214.462 and former Health Director Nick Baird was the highest paid to lead a state agency at $159.485 . • did the following: On Dec. 4, girls turned in rest of their nut deposit rece ipts. A report was give n on the Middleport Christmas Parade. Girls attending were Whitney Ours, Katel ynn Ginther, Kayla Lee, and Brittany Cogar. They liked the lights for the parade. Megan McGee and Cassie Roush brought in items for the Anget Tree. More girls brought in their fini shed necklaces of homemade beads to show. With it being too cold to paint their trees the girls decide to go to Ms. Phyllis' home to paint them before going to the_Secret Santa. For badge work they did requirement 6 on jewelry and number 10 on puzzler badges. Halley Wil son served refreshments. On Dec.

Girls going were Abbie Hou ser, Ashley Deem, Brittany C., Kimmy Ginther, Katelynn G, Megan and Tori Hoschar. Girls will have Christmas parade next week, so they decide on what they wanted to do and how much the exchange gift would be. Megan showed that she had found seven words for requirement I0 on Puzzler badge. For badge work they did requirement 9 on Puzzler. They broke into two teams and made a word search for the other team _to solve. Afterwards they fini shed putting lights on their trees to take home.

When I got home, they were all sw im mi ng in the nude. When my wi fe got out of the pool, I can tell yo u that her brother's fri end was not looking at her like a sister. I don't think she is promiscuous, but how can she treat her body so triv ially? She has an adva nced degree, a wo nderful job and is very religious. Am I just an olcl fogey'! Bradenton, Fla. Dear Bradenton: Not at all. Your wife may be a nudist, but she is also an ex hibi tionist. She enjoys going without cl othes and likes others to 'ee her that way. Insist, as a sign of respect for you, that she cover up when non-relati ves are present. especially when she answers the door, for heaven 's sake . She could get into seri ous trouble doing that, no matter how old the deliveryman is. Dear Annie: My sister's best fri end died last spring . My sister has known the best frienct 's live-in boyfriend for I5 years . In September, they took a trip together, and by October, they were engaged. They married in Haw aii two BY KATHY MITCHELL AND MARCY SUGAR Dear Annie: I am 34, and my wife is 24. We've been married for two years, and I am the happiest man alive. She is everything you could ask tor in a wife and lover, except for one thing. My wife is a nudi st. We have a rather private backyard and a pool, so she just· hops in the pool in the buff with never a concern that someone might see her. I had only met her family on two occasions before we wed, but when they came to visit, they all went swimming in the nude (her father, mother and brother). I was somewhat taken aback , but figured, "when in Rome. " However, a UPS driver delivered a package the other day, and my wife answered the door wearing panties and an open blouse. She wasn't wearing a bra, and she has a fabulou s fi gure. When I said this was a little inappropriate, her answer was, "He 's old enough to be my father." Last week, she called me at work and asked if I could come home early as she wanted me to meet her ' weeks ago, but don 't plan to live together for nearly a year, because they each have thei r own home and it will take time to consolidate living quarters. Once that\ done, they wi ll have a reception for famil y and frie nds. Th is i> her second marriage and hi s first. Both of them are in their 50s. What is the protocol a s to gifts') - Perplexed Sister Dear Perplexed: The same as for any other newlyweds, regardless of their living circumstances - you wish them well and send a gift. If their combined homes mean they don't need anything, you can se nd a bottle of wine, a gift cert ificate to a restaurant or theater, a donation to their favorite charity or anything else you think they might enjoy. . Dear Annie: Your advice to "Wi shing I Never Had an Office Romance" was dead wrong. She made a terrible mistake by divorcing her husband and marrying "Hal, " who has been ill, but now she wants to be back with her ex. She has 18 years and some children mvcs ted in her ex-husband and only two years with Hal. I believe she owes her fami ly much more than she owe' her new husband.

Judge Adlai Hardin of U.S. Bankruptcy Court in New York granted Comair's request to block a strike and any other job actions that would disrupt Comair' s operations. The pilots had authorized their union lead- · ers to call a strike if the airline throws out their contract and im~X>ses concessions. Hardm said in his ruling that a strike or job action by pilots would violate federal law that say s employees of common carriers such as an airline have a legal duty "to avoid any interruption to commerce or to the operation of any carrier." The Air Line Pilots Association , which represents Comair 's I ,500 pilots, had argued that it had a legal right to take self-help. actions such as a strike if contract conce ssion s are asked him to delay that rulimposed upon them. ing while talks continued in The union wi II abide by January. the judge's ruling but plans The last negotiating sesto appeal it , said Paul sions were held last week, Denke, a union spokesman. and no new talks have been 'This decision creates an set. unl evel playing field in Comair spokeswoman favor of management," he Kate Marx said the compasaid. ny would implement the Hardin ruled Dec. 21 that concessions unless a tentaComair could impose con- tive agreement is reached cessions if a deal was not by II :59 p.m. Friday.

The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio revisited its minimum service standards for phone companies for the first time since 200 I. The commission's order affects only land-line users ; the PUCO does not regulate cell phone service. Currently, phone companies are required to provide credit on a sliding scale if an outage lasts from 20 to 96 hours, with a month's credit mandated after 96 hours. The new rule requires the month's credit after 72 hours, but there is no penalty for a shorter outage. Phone companies still are -· expected restore service within 24 hours. If a provider shows a pattern of taking longer than that, the commission could take action against it, commission spokeswoman Shana Ei sel stein said. Penalties could include fines.

"Probably on the whole , the customers are less-better served than they were before this," MigdenOstrander said. She also objected to the elimination of bill credits before an outage lasts 72 hours. She said if the commission expects service within 24 hours. it should have made credit mandatory after 24 hours. She was pleased, however, by the cap on what payment agents can charge and the priority for restoring service to cu stomers who have medical conditions. �· The Daily Sentinel OPINION PageA4 Thursday, February 8, 2007 ALL BUSINESS: Good stock news since The Daily Sentinel July raising concerns about an upcoming ~orrection 111 Court Street • Pomeroy, Ohio (740) 992-2156 • FAX (740) 992-2157 www.mydallysentlnel.com BY RACHEL BECK AP BUSINESS WRITER Ohio Valley Publishing Co.

The Dow industrials average hasn't seen a 2 percent correction in more than 130 sessions, the longest run since 1954, and it has gone 53 months without a 10 percent correction for only the second time in history, according to Ned Dav1s ·Research. There has been not been a 2 per..:ent drop in the S&P 500 in more than 930 sessions, the longest stretch ever without that kind of pullback. according to Birinyi Associates. Much of this climb has been built on better-than· expected economic growth, which has all but wiped out any concerns of a looming recession. ln11ationary pressures also remain relattvely tame , containing investors' worries that high oil prices would significantly boost the cost of other goods and services. That economic picture spurred Federal Reserve policymakers last August to halt a series of 17 quarterpoint increases since June 2004 that pushed the overnight bank loan rate to 5.25 percent - and then to remain on hold since then. At the same ·time, earnings growth has been strong, with companies in the S&P 500 tallying 13 consecutive quarters of double-digit profit gains. The quarterly results now being reported might add to that run - and break a record by doing so - with a growth rate of 10.4 percent. accord· ing to Thomson FinanciaL A buyout boom also has fueled the stock market as investors have held shares that they believe could potentially sell to privateequity finns. All that deal· making, along with the surge in stock buybacks, also has reduced the number of shares in play. therefore boosting demand for equities. For the current rally to continue, a lot depends on what investors belie·' e the future will hold . The market is pricing in virtually no chance of the Fed cutting interest rates between now and September. Should that actually happen, it would rank as the eighth-longest stretch of Fed inaction. That's good news because the average historical gains during the 12 longest Fed pauses dating back to 1960 have seen an average return of nearly 12 percent in the S&P 500, according to Birinyi Associates. The Fed's steady stance also means that companies won't get the benefit of lower borrowing costs any· time soon, however. That could hurt earnings, which already have a more murky outlook going forward. Wall Street analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial are now forecasting proftt gains of around 5.1 percent in the first two quarters of this year, and more than dou· ble the usual number of companies in the S&P 500 have issued negative earn· ings guidance. according to the financial data provider. Still, some market-watchers say the wall of worry building in the stock market may be overdone. Researchers at Birinyi Associates note that the S&P 500 is trading less than 2.5 percent above its 50-day moving average. Historically. anything less than 5 percent above the 50-day moving average is considered neutral - indicating that the market has not been overbought. S&P' s chief technical strategist Mark Arbeter warns that historic winning steaks are often followed by losses - but that doesn ' t mean things always tum out so bad. During the end of the eight-month 1996 advance, ~ the S&P 500 fell 4.58 percent first month, then rallied 1.88 percent the next month and gained another 5.4 percent the month after that. During the nine-month run from 1982 into 1983, the market fell 1.23 percent in the first month, then rose 3.5 percent the second month before it dropped 3.3 percent in the third month, Arbeter said. In addition, during two of the four other instances since 1970 that the S&P 500 has · had at least eight conseculive monthly gains, the increases started just as the market was at a four-year cycle low, making it a good time to buy from a long-tenn perspective, Arbeter said. That means the pullback that is likely to come may not be a wrecking balL =Obituaries Astronaut 'suffered a lot of mental anguish,' friend says Earl Knight ' POMJ;:ROY - Earl Ernest Knight, 102, died Sunday, )an. 14. 2007 at Ftr't Community Village Health Care Center, Columbu•. · Born Oct. 2, 1904 in Chester, to the late Ida and Ernest , J<.mght, he was al so preceded in death by his wife of 63 ,years, Kathryn ; a st ster.

NASA plans review BY RASHA MADKOUR AND DAVID CRARY ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITERS HOUSTON - Lisa Nowak chose a juggling act of dauntingly high difficulty: to be an astronaut and a mother of three. Her background - high school valedictorian, Naval Academy graduate, test pilot - seemed to equip her for the challenge . Yet as she and some of her acquaintances acknowledged, the stre sses on her and h~r family were extraordinarily intense. On Wednesday, transformed from space hero to criminal suspect, Nowak returned to Houston for a medical assessment, a day after she was charged in Florida with attempted murder and attempted kidnapping in what police depicted as a love triangle involving a fellow astronaut The woman viewed as a role model by the schoolchildren she often addressed was met on the tarmac by police and escorted into a waiting squad car after her release on baiL Her head wa~ covered by a jacket. She faced a medical exam at Johnson Space Center. NASA, at a loss to explain what went wrong, said it would revamp its psychological screening process in light of Nowak' ~; arrest. The review will look at how astronauts are scree ned for psychological problems and whether Nowak's dealings with co-workers signaled complications. Nowak's children were with her hushand, Richard, who works for a NASA contractor. She was being replaced as a ground communicator for the next space shuttle mission in March, a job in which she would talk to the astronauts from Houston during their 11ight. Some part of any breakdown may defy rational explanation, but those who know Nowak and NASA could sense the stress she was under. Dr. Jon Clark. a fonner NASA 11ight surgeon who lost his wife, astronaut Laurel Clark, in the 2003 Columbia disaster, said Nowak provided invaluable support to his family then, at the cost of losing time with her own family. ''She was the epitome of ma!)aging a very hectic career, making 'sacrifices to accommodate her family." Clark said in a telephone intervtew. "All those stresses can conspire to be overwhelming .... Clearly she suffered a lot of mental anguish. "There is a lot of marital stress in the astronaut corps in general - a huge amount ," Clark said. "It's not unheard of for things to change into relation- Gene Lyons as President Kennedy's "Bay of Pigs" liasco. The stakes couldn't be higher, nor the evidence clearer. Valerie Plame's covert. idel)tity as a CIA operattve - she'd headed the agency's "Joint Task Force on Iraq" - was leaked to reporters by White House officials to discredit and intimidate her husband. Also, as testimony by former New York Times reporter Judith Miller showed, to scare anybody else in the CIA who might turn whistle-blower. Mess with us? Goodbye career. Indeed, Plame may have been the White House's main target. Miller told about several conversations she'd had with Libby in June 2003, only weeks after President Bu sh pranced around an aircraft carrier in his Village People flight suit proclaiming "Mission Accomplished" in Iraq. Joe Wilson's bombshell New York Times column accusing the White House of deliberately twisting the evidence about Iraq's nonexistent nukes hadn't yet appeared. But infonnation the White House knew could only have come from him had appeared in The New York Times and Washington Post. Vice President Dick Cheney, chief imagineer. became furious. He directed Libby. his chief of staff, to dig up whatever he could get on Wilson, and use it. Hence Libby's conversations with Miller, the selfdescribed "Miss Run Amok," whose reporting about Iraq's WMDs the Times has since repudiated. He urged her to write about one Valerie Plame ("Flame," she wrote in her notes), which her editors found of no interest. During her testimony, Miller described Libby as "agitated, frustrated and angry." He told Miller "that the CIA was trying to backpedal, to distance itself from the unequivocal intelligence estimates through what he called 'a perverted war of leaks.'" Libby's account was complete rubbish. The record unequivocally shows that the CIA had warned the White House off the specific tale Wilson debunked that Saddam Hussein sought to buy uranium in Africa several times, in writing. So had the State Department. The International Atomic Energy Agency told the White House it was a hoax, based on crude forgeries. President Bush went with the African fable in his January 2003 State of the Union speech anyway. Then, when the administration's deceptions threatened to become known, the vice president's office panicked. Several CIA, State Department and White House witnesses testified that Libby had begun seeking derogatory infonnation about the Wtlsons in late May when reporters' inquiries first alerted them to the danger. After columnist Robert Novak took the bait and "outed" Plame, the CIA formally protested. An investi- gation began. New lies had to be inve.11ted . Possibly overconfident . because Attorney General John Ashcroft headed the probe, Libby claimed he'd learned Plame's coven identity from "Meet the Press" host Tim Russert. Alas, Ashcroft had sufficient integrity to step aside, and the hard· nosed, incorruptible career prosecutor Fitzgerald inher· tted the case. Documents in Libby's office showed he'd in fact learned Plame's identity from Deadeye Dick Cheney. So he claimed that he'd forgotten this trivial fact, only to relearn it from Russert. Yeah, right, Testimony shows that five different officials discussed Plame with him. Libby was going around the White House with anti-Wilson!Piame "talking points" dictated by Cheney himself. The vice president's handwritten notes have been introduced into evidence. Defense lawyers have biz~ly argued that Libby was set up to take the fall for fellow smear artist Karl Rove, who also participated. , They've hinted that when . Libby and Cheney testify, all will become clear. I'm betting neither man dares testify. Patrick Fitzgerald ain't Wolf Blitzer. He's prosecuted mafta goons and terrorists; Cheney's snarls won't SCllfe him. Too bad he's not a bit more of a showman.

"They made more sacrifices than the 'Right Stuff' guys," he said, comparing women astronauts to the original ail-male astronaut corps . "They have to balance two careers - to be a mom and wife and an astronaut. ... You don't come home at night, like most of the male astronauts, .and have every· thing ready for you." Clark expressed empathy with Richard Nowak, who separated from his wife a few weeks ago after 19 years of marriage. "He was a real low-key, go-with· the t1ow, unobtrusive person," Clark said. "You almost have to be to survive in the realm .... It was hard on our mar· riage to have my wife gone all the time, and eventually have her career surpass mine." • Lisa Nowak grew up in Rockville, Md., where she was co-valedictorian and member of the track team in high school. After gmduatiog from the Naval Academy, she received a master's degree in aeronautical engineering, 11ew as a test pilot in the mid-1990s while caring for an infant son, and became a full-fledged astronaut in 1998.

In the first half of 2006 there was a downward trend. From February, when the bombing of a key Shiite mosque in Samarra, north of Baghdad, triggered a surge in sectarian killings, t·hrough May, 194 U.S . troops were killed in action, according to Pentagon fig ures. That was down from 247 in the previous four months. Short ly afterward, Iraqi civilian deaths surged. From June through September. the total for U.S. troops killed in ac tion was 214, down from 231 in the same period in 2005.

The Olympic gold medalist and twin brother Morgan were having too much fun being regular college stu· dents. They actually had free time, and no coach or training schedule to dictate what they should do with it. They could focus on school and were close to finishing their degrees. The more they talked, though, the Hamms realized they weren't quite ready to walk away. The Beijing Olympics are a year and a half away, and the brothers want one more chance to show what they can do. And, they hope, snag the United. States a few more medals in the process. ''The time off gave us what we needed to really develop the motivation that we have right now," Paul Hamm said Wednesday. "We see a goal in front of us, and we're going for it. Sometimes when you're in the daily grind of · gymnastics, you forget it. "We know for a fact if we're in good shape, we can help the team."

IM , �Page 88 • The Daily Sentinel Thursday, February 8, 2007 www.mydailysentinel.com Anna Nicole Smith dies after collapsing at Florida hotel, As Johnson looks to pull of rare NASCAR repeat BY JENNA FRYER ASSOCIATED PRE SS CHAR,LOTIE, N.C. Jimmie Johnson was the . clear favorite to win last season's Nextel Cup champiunship, an easy pick after coming so very dose so many times before. This year's pick isn't nearly as obvious, with 50 drivers revving their motors in pursuit of dethroning NASCAR's newest chmnpion. Jeff Gordon wants a tifth Nextel Cup title . Tony Stewart is fired up after missing last year's Chase, and Matt Kenseth's glial is to win a second title, this time under a new points system. But no matter how you break it down, the champiunship is Johnson 's 10 Jose. "It 's hard 10 win one, much less back to back, and to do anything twice in a row is tough ," said Stewart, who won titles in 2002 and 2005. "I can go to Vegas and put a whole bunch of money on a number, and to have it hit once is something, but to come back again and have it hit again." Only seven drivers have won consecutive Cup titles - none since Gordon in 1997 ami 1998. Even though the odds are clearly against him, Johnson plans to make a full-speed run at title No. 2. "I am a race car driver. and I want to win championships," he said. "I always wanted to win one, and now I've got it. That whole experience makes you hungry and want to come back and do it again. "I feel with the team and everything that we have (at Hendrick Motorsports), we could be a contender for a few more of these." Johnson has every reason to believe he can do it again, because his 2006 title was no fluke . Since entering the Nextel Cup Series five years ago, Johnson consistently has been among NASCAR:s top drivers . The No. 48team never has been lower than tifth in the standin~s and was twice runner-up m the championship. That- earned Johnson the dubious distinction of being the Peyton Manning uf NASCAR - the guy who dominated the regular season, only to come up short when everything was on the line. When Johnson and crew chief Chad Knaus finally cleared that final hurdle last November, overcoming a disastrous start to the Chase, Johnson was freed of that label. · "A lot was said that they might not be able to win it, and Jimmie couldn't get it if he didn't get it last year," car owner Rick Hendrick said. "Well, he did. I think a lot of the pressure is off. The pressme now is not 10 prove he can be a champion . The pressure is on himself to come back and be in the hunt again." it again starts with Knaus, who learned valuable 1essons 1ast season. F'1rst, he realized he had to back oil just a bit to sustain the energy and drive Johnson needed over the long 36-race sea-. son. Knaus also learned to delegate but had trouble easing up initially. When he was caught cheating _ during Daytona 500 preparations, a four-week suspension forced Knaus to slow down . With the crew chief watching from home, Johnson rallied to win at Daytona and again in Las Vegas two weeks later. When Knaus returned to the trm:k, he was able to maintain an even pace the rest of the year. Now, his challenge will be allowing his guys to celebrute last season's success without losing the intensity that made them champions. "You have to give the guys an opportunity to go out there and soak it in and feel a sense of accomplishment," Knaus said. "Because if they are working continuously and they don 't get any type of reward for what they have done, they are going to fee l like ' Why am I applying myself and working myself to death fur nothing ?' "The drivers take off and go to France and Italy (during the offseason). but the guys are in here worki11g like crazy. It \ a balance that you've got to find, and I think we did a good job. We just have to wait and see." The mind-set of Knaus and his crew will be just one part of Johnson's success, which also will depend on how he handles his new role as ambassador to the sport . The demands on Johnson 's time have increased, and the spotlight magnifies everything. He learned that the hard way last December when he fell off a golf cart and broke his wrist while gootlng around. Reluctant to reveal exactly how he was injured, Johnson had to backtrack when the truth came out. "It can gel overwhelming with the expectations," said Gordon . "Every show, every print and TV, every media, every fan wants more 'Of you . That's a good thing, but at the same time, it can be hard to manage ." The only certainty is Johnson plans to give his pursuit of a repeal title his fu ll attention. Anything else and Knaus knows they ' II come up short. "I think we have to go out there and prove ourselves every week," Knaus said. "Anytime somebody rolls into a season or an event thinking that .they are the AP photo favorite, you are going to get NASCAR driver Jimmie Johnson takes the checkered and yellow flags as he wins the your bun handed to you.

Racing 101: Schools a proving ground·for racin.g teams LIMA (AP) - Michael Klenke has learned in class how to assemble a race car engine and tear apart its transmission. He's also learned the best way to h'lndle a problem that crops up when a stock car is flying around a dirt race track at 60 mph. "It's more than just step on the gas and tum leti," Klenke said of driving fur the University of Northwestern Ohio's stock car team. " It makes you realize you really are going to use what you learn here," he said. Klenke's school is one of a handful of places where students can study how to build a race car from tht• bottom up. The high performance motorsports program readies them for a career in auto racing - whether it be working on a pit crew or in the shop. "A lot of people just see NASCAR on Sundays," said Steve Klausing, an instructor who works with the school's race club. "There's a lot that goes into the six days before the race." Auto racing's growing presence on television and its widening appeal to mainstream fans has led to more leagues, teams and job opportunities in a sport that - increasingly needs highly skilled crew members. "It ust:d to be that growing up with your dad in the garage was good enough to get you through," said Don Radebaugh, spokesman for the ARCA -5eries. "But it requires more than turning . wrenches in a garage. "We're seeing more and more drivers and crew members who are college graduates," he said. ARCA has become a steppingstone rU~:e league for not only the drivers but also crew members. About 20 students from the school in Ohio spent their weekends last vear working with ARCA ·teams. This week, a group from the school traveled to Florida to wor(( at the ARCA 200 on Saturday at Daytona International Speedway. They ' II work on the engines, clean the cars for the race and watch .how the pros adjust the aerodynamics of tl\e cars to make them run faster. "It gives any racing program a pi ace to look for help," said Bill Kimmel. crew chief for eight -time ARCA champion Frank Kimmel. "If you take a kid off the street, we have to show them every step of the way." He usually pairs a student with an experienced crew member. Kimmel's team, based in New Albany, Ind., hired one of the students who worked for him a year ago to be a mechanic. Motorsporls students at Indiana University-Purdue University in Indianapolis compete for internships in the Champ Car World Series and with the Panther Racing team in the Indy Racing League. "We work with teams to configure the classes around what the teams need," said Peter Hylton. director of the IUPUI motorsp011s'program. ARCA car owner Wayne Hixson. of Soddy Daisy, Tenn.. said there's still a learning curve when students start working with a pro team. "We're looking for somehody who can carry tires over the wall and put them on," he said. "I teach them how to carry tires, put them on and put air in them." About 1.000 students are enrolled in the motorsports program at the University of Northwestern Ohio, which offers two- and four-year degrees in business and technologies. The year-old $7 million motorsports complex is where they learn about building transmissions. welding frames and shaping fenders. Classrooms are attached to the garages where stock cars and dragsters are taken apart and put back together. "There's a lot of big boy toys here." said Torh Grothous. a dean in the college of technologies. In one of the garages. the metal frame of a stock car sits on a Iiii, but soon it will be filled with an engine and ready for the racing season in April. Outside, there's a 500foot track for drag racing and a small oval for stock cars. Mounds of rocks and dirt are for the off-road racers. The school also boasts what it calls the world's largest motorsports classroom - a 114-mile banked dirt track that the university bought nine years ago. As many as I00 students line up on Friday nights in the spring and summer to work on the pit crews with weekend drivers who come to the Limaland Motorsports Park . Anywhere from 2,000 to 5,000 fans show up on race night to watch the sprint cars, stock cars and trucks. The .university's llrst stock car team started competing there last year. This season, it will have two teams racing in cars with "student driver" on the rear bumper. "It lets everyone know that lhfy 're out there to learn and not to push the other guys into the wall." said university president Jetl'rey Jarvis, who can be found on race nights handing candy to children and talking with the fans and drivers. The motorsports program at the Ohio school started in 1993. Other colleges have since added the training, including Lincoln Tech in Indianapolis and WyoTech at its campus in Fremont. Calif. The Universitv of Northwestern Ohio ·doesn't trac~ how many graduates end up in racing but knows that its former students are now working for teams in NASCAR , the Indy Racing League and minor league circuits. The education in the classroom can't compare with practicing at the trt~ek, Klausin g said. ·'It 's just not the same thing as when th~ car's coming in all hot," he said.
