Live in an apanment long enough and you'll eventually embrace that old ai)age about there being no place too >mall to fit a garden. Take windowsills : These narrow but genemlly sunlit spaces have been used as homes for plants ranging from African violets to dwarf evergreens and lemon trees. "You only need about 2 square feet," said Sarah Carter, qtrator of herbaceous plants and outdoor gardens with the New York Botanical Garden. "Look at light conditions, humidity and temperature and then choose plants that fit rather than trying to get something to evolve." Herbs are probably the most popular windowsill gardening option, Carter said. Few things are more convenient for gardenersturned-cooks than aromatic herbs growing on a kitchen windowsill, . within easy reach of stove or table . ;'They do need a lot of light, so try using a >author southeast-facing window," she said. "Basil, parsley, rosemary and thyme are easy (to grow) and rewarding. You can start them from seeds in winter and have something green, fresh and usable when they're only a couple of inches high." If you're a serious salad eater, plant some baby lettuce, spinach or Asian greens to accompany the herbs. Many of these fa>tgrowi ng vegetables will produce several batches of leaves so don't toss them out after taking the tirst cutting. Good drainage is crucial for whatever you decide to grow indoors, Carter said. " Most houseplants are killed from over-watering. I use broken terra-cona pots for my bouom layers as a drainer and then add the potting mix. Put plastic drip trays underneath to protect the windowsills." Beware drafts from unsealed windows, especially if re-blooming orchid> . .;They can't stand drops in temperature." Carter satd. Draft -or no, windowsills are apt to be cold this time of year. Be careful about drawing your window shades too low - isolated between the shade and the window, plants might freeze or at least be damaged. Even touching a frosty pane for a few minutes can scar a leaf on some tender tropicals. Consider moving your favorite potted plants to a warm, out-of-the-way spot overnight, returning them to the window-side dming the day for at least six hours of nourishing sunlight . Cherry tomatoes, dwarf cabbage, beans, peas and peppers are attractive and don t req uire much elbow. room . You can quadruple the size of your windowsill garde n by adding a few hanging baskets or by building shelve s. Another easy way to expand is by placing a 6foot wooden ladder on each side of the window to support a few boards or rectangular pieces of window glass. That makes a sturdy and attractive platform for a sizable collection of container-grown plants. Greenhouse- or garden windows can be expensive but offer ready-made utili ty. The most basic of the >e bay window-like arrange ments are vented and tinted lo mimic conditions in miniature conservatories. They provide more sunlight and humidity for your plants than the plants would get if placed near thestandard tlat windows . Another inside-space option i> 10 set plants on tables or stands away from the windows but in places where they gel a lew hours of direct sun. Retlective materials ~uch as aluminum foil can be arranged to help retlecl the sun's rays. Sunlight can be<·omc too much of a good thing. ho\v- ever. West -facing window s often get deadly hot. searing the life from anything but the mo.sl drought-resi stant plants . Add sheer curtains to soften some of that sun or t.:hoose greenery · capable of storvi ving in desert-like conditions.

A5 �The Daily Sentinel NATION • WORLD NAACP president resigns after 19 months at civil rights · organization, cites clash with board BY ERIN TEXEIRA 1>1' N~TIONAL WRITER NEW YORK - NAACP President Bruce S. Gordon said Sunday he is leaving the civil rights organization after just 19 months at the helm, citing clashes with board members over management style and the organization's mission as the reasons. "I believe that any organization that's going to be effective will only be effective if the board and the CEO are aligned and I don't think we are aligned," Gordon told The Associated Press. "This compromises the ability of the board to be as effective as it can be." Julian Bond, chairman of the board of the Baltimorebased National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said Sunday that Gordon tried to quit just six weeks after tals:ing the job in August 2005, but Bond convinced him to stay. "There were occasions where it seemed just not to be a perfect fit," Bond said. "But he had many, many !!real qualities, and he exhibtted those qualities when he worked for us. I'm disappointed that it came to this." Gordon will give up his duties before month's end, Gordon said in a phone interview from Los Angeles, where he attended the NAACP Image Awards Friday. Dennis C. Hayes, the group's general counsel, will serve as interim president, Bond said. Hayes filled the wne role after Kweisi Mf\une reslpd the presiden· cy In 20041ftor nine years. . Qordon lllid that althOUih the NAACP is an advocacy OIJanizatlon, his vision was to focus more on tlndin1 practical solutions to blaclc America's problems. Oordon repeatedly made clear that he wanted the NAACP to do more social service work, said Rupen Richardson, a board member from Louisiana, but board members balked. "I think he saw his job as remaking us to make us more effective, but his job was to do what the board and management wanted," she said. "He was not a good fit for us, but he could have been." Bond said, "Put simply, we fight racial discrimmation and social service llroups fisht the effects of ractal dtscnmination. Service is wonderful and praiseworthy and fabulous, but many, many organizations do it. Only a couple do justice work, and we're one of those few." Bond has acknowledged PageA2 LOS ANGELES (AP) Four purebred Yorkshire terriers stolen. at gunpoint during a home invasion robbery more than a week ago were returned to their owners after a man turned himself in to police. Three puppies, valued at $2,500 each, and a fullgrown family pel named Tan-ja were reunited with their owners at the Wilshire Division police station Saturday night. One puppy remained missing, police said. Family members hugged and kissed the panting pups and left the {Kllice station with the dogs tn their arms. The animals were recov- ered after Ryan Betton, 19, of Los Angeles, surrendered to police Friday night, Detective Luis Corona said. A second suspect, 23-yearold Troy Cabral, turned himself in Sunday morning. Both men were booked for investigation of residential robbery and released on $100,000 bail. A videotape of the robbery that aired on local television brought in many tips, including telephone calls that sent police to the home of Betton's father, Corona said. The father confronted his son, which led to "the son being brought in to the station to turn himself in," Corona said. The puppies had been advertised for sale in a newspaper and two men posing as buyers made an appointment to see them on Feb. 23 . When a family member opened the door, one of the men pulled a gun. The men ordered the family of four to lie on the living room floor. A home surveillance camera caught the scene as one man held a gun and the other chased after the puppies with a plastic garbage bag as they scampered around the room and underneath ·a cQffee table, He snatched one of the dogs from a woman's hands.

Gordon, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. responds to a question during an interview, in this June 28, 2006 file photo in New York. Gordon is quitting the civil rights organization, leaving after just 19 months at the helm, he told The Associated Press Sunday. that, with 64 members, the NAACP's board of directors , is large and sometimes unwieldy. But he often says this allows a wide range of members' voices to be heard. Gordon, 61, was a surprise pick for the NAACP's top post. When he took over, he had no track record in traditional civil riahts circles. He had spent 35 years in the telecommunications indus!?' and retired in 2003 from hts post as president of the Retail Marlcets Group for Verizon Corp. Critics said he wouldn't be a good fit for the nearly 98-year-old organization. However, he smoothed strained relations between the NAACP and the White House, meeting with President Bush three times in less than a year. He used his corporate ties to lend quick ass1stance to black New Orleans residents after Hurricane Katrina. And he hired a number of key national employees whose reputations inspired staff members. Gordon improved the NAACP's presence on the Internet and strengthened its ties to corporate America, · Bond said Sunday. Asked if Gordon leaves anv other legacy, Bond said, "No.'' Ronald Walters, a University of Maryland polit- . ical science professor who has followed the NAACP closely for years, was surprised that Gordon is leaving, but said he had suspec~ that Gordon's business background miaht make it tough to switch to civil rights work. "I thought very early on that there might be a cultural contlict," Wallen said. "Somebody who came out of a corporate culture and was used to a set of aaenda items and management style in one field mi1ht not have been able to m.ake the adiustment totally to anothor field." Gordon's departure throws the NAACP into disarra~. Founded in 1909 by an mterracial group who battled segregation and lynching, the group helped win some of the nation's biggest civil rights victories. But the nation's racial progress has led some to question whether the NAACP remains relevant in today 's political climate. The group has about 300,000 dues-paying members, Bond said, plus I00,000 non-paying members. It has run a deficit in recent years. Now, board members must find a new leader even as they prepare for centennial celebrations in 2009 that include a $100 million fundraising goal, Bond said.

RING GUIDE ina h 29.2001 Bush seeks ethanol alliance with Brazil, the world's renewable energy leader BY ALAN CLENDENNING AP BUSINESS WRITER SAO PAULO, Brazil Just an hour's drive outside this traffic-choked metropo. lis where President Bush kicks off a Latin American tour Thursday, sugar cane fields stretch for hundreds of miles, providing the ethanol that fuels eight out of every 10 new Brazilian cars. In only a few years, Brazil has turned itself into the planet's undisputed renewable energy leader, and the highlight of Bush's visit is expected to be a new ethanol "alliance" he will forge with Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. The deal is still being negotiated, but the two leaders are expected to sign an accord Friday to develop standards to help turn ethanol into an internationally traded commodity, and to promo!e sugar cane-based ethanol production in Central America and the Caribbean to meet rising international demand. Across Latin America's · largest nation, Brazilian media are billing the ·BushSilva meeting as a bid to create a new two-nation "OPEC of Ethanol," despite efforts by Brazilian and American officials to down- play the label amid concerns that whatever emerges would be viewed as a pricefixing cartel. Meanwhile, political and energy analysts warn that any agreements reached between Brazil and the United States are unlikely to have short-term effects. And · the deal itself could end up largely symbolic because of reluctance by Washington to address a key point of friction: A 54 cent-per-gallon U.S. tariff on Brazilian ethanol imports. "For the Brazilians, the tariff has utmost priority," said Cristoph Berg, an ethanol analyst with Germany's F.O. Licht, a commodities research firm. "They will agree with developing biofuel economies around the world, but the ftrstthingthey will say is 'We want to do away with that tariff."' No one is expecting Bush to give ground on the tariff. The politically sensitive issue essentially subsidizes Arneric~n corn growers who are rapidly ramping up ethanol production amid Washington 's encouragement of renewable biofuels to ease U,S .. dependence on imported petroleum. But the visit will help Bush and Silva join forces to promote the politically popular issue of renewable energy simrly by gathering in a place where ethanol is king. At every gas station in this city of 18 million, drivers can ftll up with gasoline or ethanol. Ethanol carne courtesy of a 1970s decision by Brazil's former military dictators to subsidize production and require distribution at the pumps. A 1980s Brazilian fad with cars that ran only on ethanol petered out when oil prices fell in the early 1990s. But the fuel carne back into vogue in 2003 when automakers started rolling out cars "flex-fuel" cars that run on gasoline, ethanol or any combination of lite two. With international oil prices reaching record highs, Brazilian drivers turned to the cars; most choose ethanol, because it costs about half the frice of gas. The ethano industry is now making profits like never before amid heavy foreign investment. Just last week, Brazil's state-run oil firm, Japan's Mitsui & Co. and a Brazilian construction firm signed a memorandum of interest to study the construction of a pipeline in Rrazil that would be used to help expon ethanol to Japan.

Gordon said Sunday he is leaving the civil rights organization after just 19 months at the helm, citing clashes with board members over management style and the organization's mission as the reasons. "I believe that any organization that's going to be effective will only be effective if the board and the CEO are aligned and I don't think we are aligned," Gordon told The Associated Press. "This compromises the ability of the board to be as effective as it can be." Julian Bond, chairman of the board of the Baltimorebased National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said Sunday that Gordon tried to quit just six weeks after tals:ing the job in August 2005, but Bond convinced him to stay. "There were occasions where it seemed just not to be a perfect fit," Bond said. "But he had many, many !!real qualities, and he exhibtted those qualities when he worked for us. I'm disappointed that it came to this." Gordon will give up his duties before month's end, Gordon said in a phone interview from Los Angeles, where he attended the NAACP Image Awards Friday. Dennis C. Hayes, the group's general counsel, will serve as interim president, Bond said. Hayes filled the wne role after Kweisi Mf\une reslpd the presiden· cy In 20041ftor nine years. . Qordon lllid that althOUih the NAACP is an advocacy OIJanizatlon, his vision was to focus more on tlndin1 practical solutions to blaclc America's problems. Oordon repeatedly made clear that he wanted the NAACP to do more social service work, said Rupen Richardson, a board member from Louisiana, but board members balked. "I think he saw his job as remaking us to make us more effective, but his job was to do what the board and management wanted," she said. "He was not a good fit for us, but he could have been." Bond said, "Put simply, we fight racial discrimmation and social service llroups fisht the effects of ractal dtscnmination. Service is wonderful and praiseworthy and fabulous, but many, many organizations do it. Only a couple do justice work, and we're one of those few." Bond has acknowledged PageA2 LOS ANGELES (AP) Four purebred Yorkshire terriers stolen. at gunpoint during a home invasion robbery more than a week ago were returned to their owners after a man turned himself in to police. Three puppies, valued at $2,500 each, and a fullgrown family pel named Tan-ja were reunited with their owners at the Wilshire Division police station Saturday night. One puppy remained missing, police said. Family members hugged and kissed the panting pups and left the {Kllice station with the dogs tn their arms. The animals were recov- ered after Ryan Betton, 19, of Los Angeles, surrendered to police Friday night, Detective Luis Corona said. A second suspect, 23-yearold Troy Cabral, turned himself in Sunday morning. Both men were booked for investigation of residential robbery and released on $100,000 bail. A videotape of the robbery that aired on local television brought in many tips, including telephone calls that sent police to the home of Betton's father, Corona said. The father confronted his son, which led to "the son being brought in to the station to turn himself in," Corona said. The puppies had been advertised for sale in a newspaper and two men posing as buyers made an appointment to see them on Feb. 23 . When a family member opened the door, one of the men pulled a gun. The men ordered the family of four to lie on the living room floor. A home surveillance camera caught the scene as one man held a gun and the other chased after the puppies with a plastic garbage bag as they scampered around the room and underneath ·a cQffee table, He snatched one of the dogs from a woman's hands. No one was injured. 1-edcral Consumer Protoclim has confimted the fuel saving described in this adverti•emenl. Device may increase gas mileage by 22% As described on ABC's lO/lO with John Stossel AP pllolo Bruce S. Gordon, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. responds to a question during an interview, in this June 28, 2006 file photo in New York. Gordon is quitting the civil rights organization, leaving after just 19 months at the helm, he told The Associated Press Sunday. that, with 64 members, the NAACP's board of directors , is large and sometimes unwieldy. But he often says this allows a wide range of members' voices to be heard. Gordon, 61, was a surprise pick for the NAACP's top post. When he took over, he had no track record in traditional civil riahts circles. He had spent 35 years in the telecommunications indus!?' and retired in 2003 from hts post as president of the Retail Marlcets Group for Verizon Corp. Critics said he wouldn't be a good fit for the nearly 98-year-old organization. However, he smoothed strained relations between the NAACP and the White House, meeting with President Bush three times in less than a year. He used his corporate ties to lend quick ass1stance to black New Orleans residents after Hurricane Katrina. And he hired a number of key national employees whose reputations inspired staff members. Gordon improved the NAACP's presence on the Internet and strengthened its ties to corporate America, · Bond said Sunday. Asked if Gordon leaves anv other legacy, Bond said, "No.'' Ronald Walters, a University of Maryland polit- . ical science professor who has followed the NAACP closely for years, was surprised that Gordon is leaving, but said he had suspec~ that Gordon's business background miaht make it tough to switch to civil rights work. "I thought very early on that there might be a cultural contlict," Wallen said. "Somebody who came out of a corporate culture and was used to a set of aaenda items and management style in one field mi1ht not have been able to m.ake the adiustment totally to anothor field." Gordon's departure throws the NAACP into disarra~. Founded in 1909 by an mterracial group who battled segregation and lynching, the group helped win some of the nation's biggest civil rights victories. But the nation's racial progress has led some to question whether the NAACP remains relevant in today 's political climate. The group has about 300,000 dues-paying members, Bond said, plus I00,000 non-paying members. It has run a deficit in recent years. Now, board members must find a new leader even as they prepare for centennial celebrations in 2009 that include a $100 million fundraising goal, Bond said.

RING GUIDE ina h 29.2001 Bush seeks ethanol alliance with Brazil, the world's renewable energy leader BY ALAN CLENDENNING AP BUSINESS WRITER SAO PAULO, Brazil Just an hour's drive outside this traffic-choked metropo. lis where President Bush kicks off a Latin American tour Thursday, sugar cane fields stretch for hundreds of miles, providing the ethanol that fuels eight out of every 10 new Brazilian cars. In only a few years, Brazil has turned itself into the planet's undisputed renewable energy leader, and the highlight of Bush's visit is expected to be a new ethanol "alliance" he will forge with Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. The deal is still being negotiated, but the two leaders are expected to sign an accord Friday to develop standards to help turn ethanol into an internationally traded commodity, and to promo!e sugar cane-based ethanol production in Central America and the Caribbean to meet rising international demand. Across Latin America's · largest nation, Brazilian media are billing the ·BushSilva meeting as a bid to create a new two-nation "OPEC of Ethanol," despite efforts by Brazilian and American officials to down- play the label amid concerns that whatever emerges would be viewed as a pricefixing cartel. Meanwhile, political and energy analysts warn that any agreements reached between Brazil and the United States are unlikely to have short-term effects. And · the deal itself could end up largely symbolic because of reluctance by Washington to address a key point of friction: A 54 cent-per-gallon U.S. tariff on Brazilian ethanol imports. "For the Brazilians, the tariff has utmost priority," said Cristoph Berg, an ethanol analyst with Germany's F.O. Licht, a commodities research firm. "They will agree with developing biofuel economies around the world, but the ftrstthingthey will say is 'We want to do away with that tariff."' No one is expecting Bush to give ground on the tariff. The politically sensitive issue essentially subsidizes Arneric~n corn growers who are rapidly ramping up ethanol production amid Washington 's encouragement of renewable biofuels to ease U,S .. dependence on imported petroleum. But the visit will help Bush and Silva join forces to promote the politically popular issue of renewable energy simrly by gathering in a place where ethanol is king. At every gas station in this city of 18 million, drivers can ftll up with gasoline or ethanol. Ethanol carne courtesy of a 1970s decision by Brazil's former military dictators to subsidize production and require distribution at the pumps. A 1980s Brazilian fad with cars that ran only on ethanol petered out when oil prices fell in the early 1990s. But the fuel carne back into vogue in 2003 when automakers started rolling out cars "flex-fuel" cars that run on gasoline, ethanol or any combination of lite two. With international oil prices reaching record highs, Brazilian drivers turned to the cars; most choose ethanol, because it costs about half the frice of gas. The ethano industry is now making profits like never before amid heavy foreign investment. Just last week, Brazil's state-run oil firm, Japan's Mitsui & Co. and a Brazilian construction firm signed a memorandum of interest to study the construction of a pipeline in Rrazil that would be used to help expon ethanol to Japan.

His comments carry weight in financial markets given that Carlyle, with nearly $50 billion under management, is one of the biggest and most active of the buyout firms. The buyout-friendly environment of cheap and plentiful debt linancmg as well as hoards of cash on corporate books has yet to disappear. But Rubenstem warned that an inevitable downturn could come from a variety of catalysts. such as an economic slowdown, tightening of credit by the Federal Reserve or a legislative or regulatory change. " Decline and losses will occur," he said in comments to the lOth annual Super Return private equity and venture capital conference in Frankfurt, Germany.

IIIII Sill• Bv ANDREW WELSH-HUGGINS ASSOC IATED PRESS WRITER COLUMBUS - They came in droves, regulars and first-timers, children, parents and grandparents, to order burgers, fries and milkshakes at the first Wendy's restaurant, which closed after 37 years downtown because of persistent lagging sales. Among those stopping in on the last day of business Friday was the original Wendy, now 45. and still living in Columbus. Wendy Thomas, who spent about an hour signing autographs on paper food bags and dinner receipts, said she would have liked to see the store stay open but understood the company's decision. "It's hard to not picrure this being here," said Thomas. daughter of founder Dave Thomas. "But there are 6,600 other restaurants- it's not like we're closing the whole thing down." At 8:14 p.m., store manaaer Hal Douglass locked the front door for the last time. Inside, family members, customers and some oriainal employees mingled over a commemorative cake and shared memories. · Some regulars called the · decision to close the site corporate greed. Others shrugged, saying the,Y could understand a bustness decision. "If Dave Thomas knew he would roll over in his grave," said Drenna Burke, a broker's assistant who works around the corner. Sbe ate often at the dark brick restaunmt with a distinctive blueand-white aluminum trim and on Thursday was snapping pictures of Wendy's paraphernalia, including toys, utensils and photos of Thomas from over the years. '"You can't tell me thut Wendy's doesn't · make enough profit that they can continue to keep this open," Burke said. "It's all about greed and it's all about money." Thomas, who.died in 2002, opened the restaurant in a former steakhous.e on a cold. snowy Saturday on Nov. 15, 1969. He was accompanied by actor Danny Thoma~. a longtime friend, and later became nationally known as the company's pitchman in television commercials for the nation's third largest hamburger chain. The same day, Apollo 12 astronauts were headed for the moon despite electrical problems in the spacecraft. The government was reporting the death of soldiers in Vietnam and newspapers reported war protests at home. The restaurant fell victim to tight parking and sparse dinner or weekend business in a downtown that largely shuts down atier 5 p.m. despite the city's efforts to increase housing and entertainment options. The move eight years ago of the city's popular science museum from across the street probably sealed the restaurdllt s fate. Norman Harris, 69. who often brought his children to the restaurdlll after a trip to the museum, stopped by Friday with his 13-year-old granddaughter for a last visit. "It's a business decision I'm sure. but fmm a memontbilia standpoint, certainly we would like to sec them keep it open." he said . The restaurant averaged only about half of the $1.4 million in annual busmess done by an average Wendy's store. · Thomas' son. Ken. said ) '. www .mydailysentinel.com 2007 lVhos in charge?

Huge crowds the last few days demonstrated the restaurant's symbolic value. But one researcher said the closing, despite the nostalgia, wouldn't affect Wendy's International or its image. "I don't think anybody who's going to grab a burger in Texas really cares whether or not the fust Wendy's is opened or closed."' said Scott Rothbort, a Seton Hall business professor.

McDonald's in Columbus celebrated its 1Oth anniversary. Sirloin went for 97 cents a IIOUlld and a washer ran $178. You could still shop until 9 p.m. on Saturdays at the city's landmark department store, Lazarus, a few blocks away. That store closed three years ago, spurrinjl its own outburst of nostalgta and disappoinunent. Wendy's restored the restaurant in 1994 to its original fixtures, including multicolored Tiffany glass lamps, hanging plastic beads and tables with oldfashioned newspaper laminate surfaces. The company plans to move the memorabilia to corporate headquarters in the suburb of Dublin. Ken Thomas, 50. is president of a Wendy's franchise company with his four s.isters . He has many memones of working at the first store and other branches, coming home each night smelling of onions and pickles. , "I don't want to see it happen," he said. But he"s resigned to the closing because of the man who got it all started. "No one knows my father as well as I do - he was my best friend," Thomas said. "I can tell you right now that he knew, that sooner or later we're going to have to do something with No. I store." .. McDonald's founder Ray Kroc opened his first McDonald's on April 15, 1955, in the Chicago suburb of Des Plaines. It was closed and convened to a company museum on March 2. 1984.

Almost all non-monetary donations are accepted, and Bentley extended her thanks to the random donors from Massachusetls. She also stressed the ~trong need in the community for clothing and personal items and as a helpful place where families can turn for any reason. "The clothes bank is for everyone," Bentley said.

Elizabeth Lawton of the CINCINNATI (AP) - A foster parent served nine days in jail for receiving stolen property and was ordered into a drug treatment program. Another was accused of pulling a knife on someone and was sentenced to a year's probation and ordered to take anger management classes. Yet they continued to care for foster children, officials said. Just halfway through back!lround checks of Hamilton County's foster parents, officials discovered 27 licensed foster parents with arrests on charges including welfare fraud, assault and domestic violence - and even one for child endangering. They had gone unnoticed because eventual convictions. if any, weren't felonies that would require removing the child. The review was prompted by the case of 3-year-old Marcus Fiesel, killed while in foster care in neighboring Clermont c;ounty.

The developmentally disabled boy, originally from Hamilton County, was left wrapped in a blanket and packing tape in a closet for two days while his foster parents went to a family reunion in Kentucky in August. He was dead when his foster parents, Liz Carroll and David Carroll Jr., returned home. Liz Carroll was convicted of murder and David Carroll pleaded guilty to murder last month. It was only after the boy's death that authorities discovered David Carroll had art arrest on a domestic violence charge that had ~one undetected because ol infrequent background checks. The Hamilton County Department of Job and Family Services has refreshed ba~kground checks on 304 parents licensed through the county. Another 445 licensed through private agencies still have to be reviewed, but infighting between the JFS and cmmty officials has stalled the process, clerk (>f courts Greg Hartmann said . In most of the 27 cases. the charges were dismisseJ or reduced to lesser charge s that would allow the fost er parents to continue caring for children. Hartmann released the list of arrests but not the foster parents ' names, citing privacy laws . Under·state law, convictions on some felony charges preclude applicants from becoming foster parents. ., Still, child welfare offi cials can review the fitness of parents case by case, County Commissioner Pat De Wine said .

JFS Director Rick Roberts said his ·otfice was checking to make sure the arrest reports were accurate before deciding whether to remove children from the homes. DeWine and Hartmann complained that JFS' refusal to release the names of foster parents overseen by private agencies is holding up the checks and creation of the alert system.

His comments carry weight in financial markets given that Carlyle, with nearly $50 billion under management, is one of the biggest and most active of the buyout firms. The buyout-friendly environment of cheap and plentiful debt linancmg as well as hoards of cash on corporate books has yet to disappear. But Rubenstem warned that an inevitable downturn could come from a variety of catalysts. such as an economic slowdown, tightening of credit by the Federal Reserve or a legislative or regulatory change. " Decline and losses will occur," he said in comments to the lOth annual Super Return private equity and venture capital conference in Frankfurt, Germany.

IIIII Sill• Bv ANDREW WELSH-HUGGINS ASSOC IATED PRESS WRITER COLUMBUS - They came in droves, regulars and first-timers, children, parents and grandparents, to order burgers, fries and milkshakes at the first Wendy's restaurant, which closed after 37 years downtown because of persistent lagging sales. Among those stopping in on the last day of business Friday was the original Wendy, now 45. and still living in Columbus. Wendy Thomas, who spent about an hour signing autographs on paper food bags and dinner receipts, said she would have liked to see the store stay open but understood the company's decision. "It's hard to not picrure this being here," said Thomas. daughter of founder Dave Thomas. "But there are 6,600 other restaurants- it's not like we're closing the whole thing down." At 8:14 p.m., store manaaer Hal Douglass locked the front door for the last time. Inside, family members, customers and some oriainal employees mingled over a commemorative cake and shared memories. · Some regulars called the · decision to close the site corporate greed. Others shrugged, saying the,Y could understand a bustness decision. "If Dave Thomas knew he would roll over in his grave," said Drenna Burke, a broker's assistant who works around the corner. Sbe ate often at the dark brick restaunmt with a distinctive blueand-white aluminum trim and on Thursday was snapping pictures of Wendy's paraphernalia, including toys, utensils and photos of Thomas from over the years. '"You can't tell me thut Wendy's doesn't · make enough profit that they can continue to keep this open," Burke said. "It's all about greed and it's all about money." Thomas, who.died in 2002, opened the restaurant in a former steakhous.e on a cold. snowy Saturday on Nov. 15, 1969. He was accompanied by actor Danny Thoma~. a longtime friend, and later became nationally known as the company's pitchman in television commercials for the nation's third largest hamburger chain. The same day, Apollo 12 astronauts were headed for the moon despite electrical problems in the spacecraft. The government was reporting the death of soldiers in Vietnam and newspapers reported war protests at home. The restaurant fell victim to tight parking and sparse dinner or weekend business in a downtown that largely shuts down atier 5 p.m. despite the city's efforts to increase housing and entertainment options. The move eight years ago of the city's popular science museum from across the street probably sealed the restaurdllt s fate. Norman Harris, 69. who often brought his children to the restaurdlll after a trip to the museum, stopped by Friday with his 13-year-old granddaughter for a last visit. "It's a business decision I'm sure. but fmm a memontbilia standpoint, certainly we would like to sec them keep it open." he said . The restaurant averaged only about half of the $1.4 million in annual busmess done by an average Wendy's store. · Thomas' son. Ken. said ) '. www .mydailysentinel.com 2007 lVhos in charge?

Huge crowds the last few days demonstrated the restaurant's symbolic value. But one researcher said the closing, despite the nostalgia, wouldn't affect Wendy's International or its image. "I don't think anybody who's going to grab a burger in Texas really cares whether or not the fust Wendy's is opened or closed."' said Scott Rothbort, a Seton Hall business professor.

McDonald's in Columbus celebrated its 1Oth anniversary. Sirloin went for 97 cents a IIOUlld and a washer ran $178. You could still shop until 9 p.m. on Saturdays at the city's landmark department store, Lazarus, a few blocks away. That store closed three years ago, spurrinjl its own outburst of nostalgta and disappoinunent. Wendy's restored the restaurant in 1994 to its original fixtures, including multicolored Tiffany glass lamps, hanging plastic beads and tables with oldfashioned newspaper laminate surfaces. The company plans to move the memorabilia to corporate headquarters in the suburb of Dublin. Ken Thomas, 50. is president of a Wendy's franchise company with his four s.isters . He has many memones of working at the first store and other branches, coming home each night smelling of onions and pickles. , "I don't want to see it happen," he said. But he"s resigned to the closing because of the man who got it all started. "No one knows my father as well as I do - he was my best friend," Thomas said. "I can tell you right now that he knew, that sooner or later we're going to have to do something with No. I store." .. McDonald's founder Ray Kroc opened his first McDonald's on April 15, 1955, in the Chicago suburb of Des Plaines. It was closed and convened to a company museum on March 2. 1984.

In early February. the Nel sonville-based Foundation for Appalachian Ohio (FAO) wi'nch serves 29 counties in Southeast Ohio includi11g Meigs, received a box of new children's winter clothing and accessories from the Rainbow Workshop and Learning Center, located in rural Massachusetts. The community foundation staff was surprised and impressed by the generou' donation and decided to pass it along to where it would be needed most - the Nelsonville Family Center. The family center, located at 1154 E. Canal Street, is a resource center for local families . The center provides a weekly clothes bank, parent support and education, play groups and after-school programs for children and t€enagers. The family center and its programs are ·sponsored by Athens County Childrens Services. Rhonda Bentley, director of the Nelsonville Family Center. said the center's free clothing bank is open every Friday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and is available for any local family. Almost all non-monetary donations are accepted, and Bentley extended her thanks to the random donors from Massachusetls. She also stressed the ~trong need in the community for clothing and personal items and as a helpful place where families can turn for any reason. "The clothes bank is for everyone," Bentley said. "The best part of the center is that money has no place here."

Elizabeth Lawton of the CINCINNATI (AP) - A foster parent served nine days in jail for receiving stolen property and was ordered into a drug treatment program. Another was accused of pulling a knife on someone and was sentenced to a year's probation and ordered to take anger management classes. Yet they continued to care for foster children, officials said. Just halfway through back!lround checks of Hamilton County's foster parents, officials discovered 27 licensed foster parents with arrests on charges including welfare fraud, assault and domestic violence - and even one for child endangering. They had gone unnoticed because eventual convictions. if any, weren't felonies that would require removing the child. The review was prompted by the case of 3-year-old Marcus Fiesel, killed while in foster care in neighboring Clermont c;ounty.

The developmentally disabled boy, originally from Hamilton County, was left wrapped in a blanket and packing tape in a closet for two days while his foster parents went to a family reunion in Kentucky in August. He was dead when his foster parents, Liz Carroll and David Carroll Jr., returned home. Liz Carroll was convicted of murder and David Carroll pleaded guilty to murder last month. It was only after the boy's death that authorities discovered David Carroll had art arrest on a domestic violence charge that had ~one undetected because ol infrequent background checks. The Hamilton County Department of Job and Family Services has refreshed ba~kground checks on 304 parents licensed through the county. Another 445 licensed through private agencies still have to be reviewed, but infighting between the JFS and cmmty officials has stalled the process, clerk (>f courts Greg Hartmann said . In most of the 27 cases. the charges were dismisseJ or reduced to lesser charge s that would allow the fost er parents to continue caring for children. Hartmann released the list of arrests but not the foster parents ' names, citing privacy laws . Under·state law, convictions on some felony charges preclude applicants from becoming foster parents. ., Still, child welfare offi cials can review the fitness of parents case by case, County Commissioner Pat De Wine said .

JFS Director Rick Roberts said his ·otfice was checking to make sure the arrest reports were accurate before deciding whether to remove children from the homes. DeWine and Hartmann complained that JFS' refusal to release the names of foster parents overseen by private agencies is holding up the checks and creation of the alert system.

Thomas led Baltimore with II sacks last year and played in the Pro Bowl, where the Patriots' Bill Belithick was his coach for the AFC. He also can play defensive end, much like McGinest, one of the mainstays of New England's three Super Bowl winners. "I'm a football player. I don 't play · a position . Whatever is needed for me to do here, I'm going to do," Thomas said. "That's why (the Patriots) have been so successful here because they don't look at it as position. They look at it as football."

BY THE AssOCIATED PIIESS Adalius Thomas signed with New England on Saturday, giving the Patriots one of this season 's top free agents and a versatile passrushing outside linebacker who can do for the team what Willie McGinest once did. The signing took the two top free agents·off the market in the first two days - former Buffalo cornerback Nate Clements signed Friday with San Francisco for $80 million over eight years. Thomas led Baltimore with II sacks last year and played in the Pro Bowl, where the Patriots' Bill Belithick was his coach for the AFC. He also can play defensive end, much like McGinest, one of the mainstays of New England's three Super Bowl winners. "I'm a football player. I don 't play · a position . Whatever is needed for me to do here, I'm going to do," Thomas said. "That's why (the Patriots) have been so successful here because they don't look at it as position. They look at it as football." Belichick said Thomas brings a number of things to the Patriots.

(AP) - Kenny Rogers' scoreless streak ended Sunday, but he's enjoying spring training more than ever. . The Detroit Tigers· leftbander spent an hour signing autographs and chatting with fans before· finally heading to the clubhouse Sunday after pitching two innings in a 7-4 win over the Cleveland Indians. "It's a beautiful day, I'm content and having the most fun ever," said Rogers, preparing for his 19th major league season. Coming off an All-Star year in which he went 17-8, then pitched 23 ·scoreless innings in the postseason for the AL champions. Rogers gave up three hits and two runs over two innings in his first spring start. "I've changed my spring approach to not bemg concerned about getting people out," Rogers said. "I work on getting one pitch refined. then another, then another." As Rogers spoke. a fan reached ov.er a 6-foot fence and yelled. "Kenny, highfive, man. Just outstanding, signing like that." Rogers slapped the hand and said, "It's not a big deal. You 'II reach a time when you might only remember the day somebody asked for an autograph." The 42-year-old Rogers thinks he can still add plenty of wins to his 207- 139 career record. "I don't envision when I'll be done," he said. "I've lasted longer than I thought or a lot of others thought. " Being with a winning team helps. Rogers signed with the Tigers as a free agent before last season and helped them improve by 24 wins. Detroit reached the World Series for the first time since 1984. Rogers struggled a bit with his command Sunday. He hit one batter with a pitch and · walked another while allowing one unearned run in the first inning. He gave up two hits and another run in the second, but avoided more trouble by getting Grady Sizemore to hit into a double play. "I just dido 't know where my pitches were going," Rogers said. Indians starter C. C. Sabathia struck out three in two innings, including Magglio Ordonez with an off-speed pitch to end the first. The left-hander gave up two hits and one walk. Craig Monroe had three hits and Neill Perez two for the Tigers. Detroit got an unearned run off Joe Borowski to make it 2-1 in the third. Rainon Santiago's three-run homer off minor leaguer Chuck Lofgren put the Tigers ahead 4-2 in the fourth. Lofgren, 17-5 in Class-A last year, was roughed up for six runs. five hits and two walks in one-third of an inning. Shortstop Hector Luna misplayed a popup for an error that made one of the runs unearned. Luna later missed an easy grounder hit by Gary Sheffield for another error. while Cleveland third baseman Andy Marte made one error and turned a couple of tough chances into tougher ones by backin~ up on balls instead of playmg the short hops. "Andy had a rough day," Indians manager Eric Wedge said. "There were three or four balls where he's got to make plays. He's better than that." Wedge called both players into his office after the game. "It's a concern." Wedge said, referring to Luna's misplays. "He has to move around better." Former Indians right-hander Chad Durbin gave up one hit - a horner to David DeUucci - in two innings and Bot the win. Mmor leaguers Kyle Sleeth and Virgil Vasquez each worked two scoreless innings for the Tigers. Torn Mastny yielded only one walk and struck out two over two tnmngs for Cleveland. Monday, March 5, 2007 Valentine's Day king and queen, A6 BY JoEDY McCREARY ASSOCIATED PRESS CHAPEL HILL. N.C. Blood poured from his no'e . and onto his lip. chin and the court. The latest bruised fac·e of college basketball's nastiest rivalr~ belongs to North Carolina s Tyler ·.. Hansbrough. "Just a little bump and bruise," teammate Reyshawn Terry said. "Nothing that a little ice can't handle ." Hansbrough had 26 points and 17 rebounds before suffering an injury that looked worse than it really was in the closing seconds of the No. 8 Tar Heels· !:16-72 win over 14th-ranked Duke on Sunday, clinching the top seed in the Atlantic Coast Conferenc-e tournament. Terry added 15 points in his ftnal home game for the Tar Heels (25-6. 11-5), who swept the regular-season series with the Blue Devils for the tirst time in II years, avoided their first three game slide under Roy Williams and gave the homespun coach his I OOth victory at his alma mater. But perhaps the lasting image of the intense rivalry is Hansbrough's bloodstained face. a scary-looking picture that evoked memories of center Eric Montross' bleeding. shaven head after he took an elbow in 1992. The latest injury came with 14.5 seconds left, when Hansbrough leaped for a layup. After the ball left his hand, he was struck in the face by Gerald Henderson's right elbow. "He got our guys in the air, and I came down on him." Henderson said. "It's unfortunate that it turned out like it did, but I wasn't trying to hurt the kid or anything. It just turned worse than it was." Hansbrough crumpled to the ground, his nose bleeding onto the tloor and down his face, before he jumped to his feet menacingly and had to be restrained from Duke's players while he .was taken to the locker room. The officials reviewed the play and ejected Henderson, then later said in a joint statement that under NCAA rules he would be suspended for one game. After the game.

DeMarcus Nelson had 14 points, Jon Scheyer finished with I0 and Josh McRoberts added 10 rebounds for Duke. The Blue Devils fell to the seventh seed with the loss and Georgia Tech's win over Boston College, meaning they will begin tournament play Thursday against lOthseeded North Carolina State. Some uf the luster had dimmed on this tierce rival ry after a spate of uncharacteri stic losses by both teams. Before this season, only four times since the 1975-76 season had both teams entered the game after a loss - but that hdppened twice this year. North Carolina. which .was coining off consecutive road losses to Maryland and Georgia Tech, avoided its first three-game losing streak since 2003. Duke. meanwhile, already was earn assured of its tirst non-winning ACC finish since also going 8-8 in 1996. "We've played a hell of a schedule, especially in February." Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski · said: "Sometimes you can't see as much improvement because the team you're playing against is better. Carolina is better than we are. That doesn't mean we can't win. Maryland, at this point, is better than us. That doesn't mean everything is wrong. By playing these people. you should get better, and I thin~ we have." The Tar Heels looked like a first-place team for most of this one. feeding off a rowdy crowd which roared when little-used walk-on Dewey Burke was anointed a Seniof Day starter. North Carolina took a quick 12-2 lead and dido 't allow the Blue Devils to draw closer than five during the rest of the half.
