Jonathan Noble Bv RAMIT PLUSHNICK·MASTI PASTOR, ~• ... ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER TRINITY CHURCH PIITSBURGH Allahu Akbar, the Muslim call for prayer, rings out on a recent Friday and a group of black men and women gather to celebrate the Islamic day of rest. The wooden house in Pittsburgh's rundown Homewood neighborhood looks like any other on the block. But the sign at the door, Masjid Mumjp, and the rows of shoes lined \lp inside on gray, plastic shelves hint of the · brand of Sunni Islam its members practice. The mosque is one of seven in Pittsburgh, home to a vibrant community of about 8,000 to 10.000 Sunni Muslims - some 30 percent of them black. Following what appears to be a trend in cities nationwide, religious leaders in Pittsburgh say there has been a rise in black conversions to Sunni Islam since the Sept. II terror attacks. No national surveys have been taken . to confirm the increase, but Islamic religious leaders in Chicago. Cleveland and Detroit have also reponed growth, said Lawrence Mamiya, a professor of religion and Africana studies at New York's Vassar College. Experts estimate that 30 percent of the 6 to 7 million Muslims in the U.S. are black, with only South Asians making up a larger number at 33 percent. The Sept. II attacks have "cut both ways, positively and negatively,'' Marniya said. . Richard 1\tmer, coordinator of the African-American studies program and an expert on Islam among blacks at the University of Iowa, said since Sept. II, Muslims have been attempting to "disseminate positive information about the religion, so the obvious outcome of that would be more conversions." Sunni Islam is the world's most prominent branch of Islam. The Nation of Islam and the Moorish Science Temple, other Muslim groups that attract many blacks, believe in prophets after Muhammad, making them anathema to Sunni Islam. Rash ad Byrdsong, an elder in Pittsburgh's black Muslim community, hopes the rise in interest in Sunni Islam will help the Mumin Mosque collect money to expand their small house of worshtp into a larger community gathering place. The new mosque. still in the planning stages, will look more like a community center than a ' dous. Would to God that more men shouldered that responsibility seriously and with an eye ever toward the great and terrible Day of Judgment. when they will stand before God to give an accounting of ju~t how faithfully they reflected the Lord in the lives of their children' In the meantime, it is very important for all of us to realize that even at its very best the human father to child relationship only mirrors our relationship with God. Yes, of course. it does accurately renee! the truth of our relationship with God ... but it is only a rcnection. not the relationship itself. The central point the Psalmist makes is the Lord is merciful to those who honor and respect Him. And our Lord Jesus teaches us the heavenly Father is ever willing and desires to pout out His good blessings upmi His children. The Apostle St. P.aul tells us that, whatever the relationship with our earthly father, we may approach God intimately and without any fear, always bearing in mind that if He does discipline, He only "disciplines those whom He loves." (See Deuteronomy 8.5 and Hebrews 12.6) Our relationship to God as Father is a very basic Biblical image vitally important in our life of faith. So may the purity of this image be properly restored and preserved for all it's worth. Having said this, many of us need to see the Lord God for the first time, as it were, so long have we looked at Him through the corroded lenses of our all-too· fallible earthly fathers. More than this, many of us need to look past all else and everyone else, including (or perhaps especially) our earthly fathers, to see God for the first time with eyes wide open, in all of His power and ~lory, in all of His love and mercy, m all of His tender and loving compassion ... .as Father. Our Father. Abba, Father' Amen. Note: Wonder what to do in the absence (or gross negligence) of an earthly father. especially as that role is so vitally important in the spiritual growth and development of a child (or teen)'' Consider "filling the gap" as much as possible with, for example, a grandfather or uncle, teacher or coach, scout leader or pastor, etc. Pray about it, then look an,j choose carefully. No one may exactly be able to "take daddy's place," but the Lord may very well direct you to one or two men who might at least help mitigate the painful absence (or negligence) of daddy. God bless. Friday, March 23, 2007 gious function s:" Pittsburgh, ltke some other cities on the East Coast and Midwest. has long been a magnet for black Muslims, beginning in the early 20th century. when more than I million blacks moved from the South to the North . Pittsburgh, then a prosperous stee I town, attracted thousands of blacks seeking work, and became one of several cities where Sunni Islam took hold. Today. black Muslims here brag that in I 932 Pittsburgh became home to the first chartered Muslim mosque in the United States. Byrdsong. executive director of the Communitv Empowerment Association, wa~s attracted to Islam while serving a I0-year prison sentence for robbery. He said the religion appeals to many, includin~ those in prison, because of strict rules banning alcohol and drugs and its success at keeping people from deteriorating mto a life of crime. Pittsburgh is home not only to black Muslims, but also a broad community of immigrants who practice the religion. However. until Sept. II. the two communities were largely isolated. After the attacks, immigrants - subject to FBI surveillance. police raids and other scrutiny - began to reach out to black Muslims in Pittsburgh. whose persecution they could suddenly relate to, said Sarah Jameela Martin, 64, an active member of the city's black Muslim community. . "It really was a time for us to come together," Martin said. But Sept. 11 also put an end to any hopes the black Muslim community had to collect money for their mosque project from Saudi Arabia and other Muslim countries overseas, because new U.S. laws put Islamic charities under greater scrutiny. Now, as immigrant and black Muslims in Pittsbur~h try to improve the religion's tmagc and separate it from global terrorism. blacks are paving the way. Martin said. Black women, for example. have long worn the traditional head-covering. or hijab, to work. while immigrants have been reluctant to do so. she said TOday. Muslims in Pittsburgh are faF more visible, she said. "Because of our social tag .. . we didn't mind," Byrdsong said. pointing to his dark skin as an explanation to w.hY being openly Muslim has never been a problem for blacks in America. "We can't hide it." traditional minaret -topped Muslim place of worship tound in the Arab world. The expanded Homewood mosque will . have a dayc are facility, a re-entry program lor released inmates. a health chnt c and a program for entrepreneurs, features that are in great need in the downtrodden neighborhood. "First, the spiritual aspects. the dawa, but also baste, physical, fundamental needs." Byrdsong said. In the fourth year of its sevenyear expansion plan. Pittsburgh's tight-knit Muslin~ community has raised much ol the $1 .5 million needed in the project's first phase throu~h book sales,- telephone fundrats ers. auctions and banquets. It has purchased all but two lots it will need, and already has the sketches for the future mosque complex. "Building the mosque has always been a goal. idea. vision," said Yusef Ali, 63 , emir of the Mumin Mosque. "But as a it 's community grows (become) a solid goal with str'ltegic objectives." . A growtng number ot Muslims in America, especially blacks, are building mosques that offer a variety of community services, partly because the federal and state governments do not answer to many of their social needs , Islamic experts say. These complexes take the religion back to its roots before the modern-day state began providin¥, services to the population. 'What you have here is the creation of a true American Islam," said Edward Curtis, a religious studies professor who specializes in Afncan-American Islam at IUPUI. "Islam has been a part of this country from its beginning, and the forms of Islam that are successful here are indigenous forms." The Homewood mosque , though unique, follows a model similar to other black mosques in the United States, Mamiya said. In Harlem. the Malcolm Shabazz Mosque has built apartment buildings and townhouses. offers social services and even owns a sanitation company used to provide jobs to former prisoners. Mamiya said. "The African-American mos11ue has inade itself different tn this way from other mosq,ues around the world, " Mamtya said.

Or as it is in another translation, "as a father is kind to his children. so the Lord is kind to those who honor him." (103 . 13. NCV and GNT) There is an underlying assumption here. of course, as there is when Jesus said to a group of men. "if you then, for all your evil, quite natural ly give good things to your children, how much more likely is it that your Heavenly Father will give good things to those 'who ask Him''" (Matthew 7 .II . Phillips) Furthermore. Jesus taught his disciples to pray to "our Father," and the Apostle St Paul tells us.in his Letter to the Romans that believers have "received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out. ·Abba. Father."' (Romans 8. 15, NKJV) That is, we are to have such an intimate relationship with GO<.I that we may comfonably address Him as "Daddy!'' This is the strong and compassionate, protective and benevolent, approachable father image presented to us in Scripture as essentially renecting God. The assumptions. of course . are that fathers are kindhearted. intuitively inclined to bestow what is healthy and beneticial, and that there exists with their children an intimate and indissolub'le bond. It almost ~oes without saying this is often tragtcally not the case; thus. many children grow up into adulthood with a very distorted view of God due largely to the image of their earthly father and their relationship with him. What they have seen and experienced in him they quite naturally (though subconsciously) project onto the heavenly Father. So, for example, if their father was cold, rigid . and overly demanding they may very well view God as being a rather harsh, unfeeling and difficult Deity. If daddy was little more that a cuddly teddy bear who never disciplined, they might see God as something like a great grand papa in the sky, ready to wink at sin and rain down gifts at the drop of a hat. If their father skipped out on them - that is, left home and heart!\ they may very well have difficulty trusting "our Father," forever fearful that, despite His good promises, He will one day abandon them ... just like daddy did so many years before. (What an awful and horrendous fear with which to live, wondering if God is going to "skip out'") Or suppose daddy stuck around, physically, but never really entered · mto their lives or showed any real interest? ln other words, what if their father was present in body but largely absent from their lives in any significant sense'' They may very well believe God is "around" but not really very interested in the affairs of their personal life. And we could go on and on ad infinitum. Naturally. the responsibility incumbenr upon fathers is tremen- PageA2 17-10) 992-645 1 507 Mulberry Heights Pomeroy, Ohio 45769 ~.

Jonathan Noble Bv RAMIT PLUSHNICK·MASTI PASTOR, ~• ... ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER TRINITY CHURCH PIITSBURGH Allahu Akbar, the Muslim call for prayer, rings out on a recent Friday and a group of black men and women gather to celebrate the Islamic day of rest. The wooden house in Pittsburgh's rundown Homewood neighborhood looks like any other on the block. But the sign at the door, Masjid Mumjp, and the rows of shoes lined \lp inside on gray, plastic shelves hint of the · brand of Sunni Islam its members practice. The mosque is one of seven in Pittsburgh, home to a vibrant community of about 8,000 to 10.000 Sunni Muslims - some 30 percent of them black. Following what appears to be a trend in cities nationwide, religious leaders in Pittsburgh say there has been a rise in black conversions to Sunni Islam since the Sept. II terror attacks. No national surveys have been taken . to confirm the increase, but Islamic religious leaders in Chicago. Cleveland and Detroit have also reponed growth, said Lawrence Mamiya, a professor of religion and Africana studies at New York's Vassar College. Experts estimate that 30 percent of the 6 to 7 million Muslims in the U.S. are black, with only South Asians making up a larger number at 33 percent. The Sept. II attacks have "cut both ways, positively and negatively,'' Marniya said. . Richard 1\tmer, coordinator of the African-American studies program and an expert on Islam among blacks at the University of Iowa, said since Sept. II, Muslims have been attempting to "disseminate positive information about the religion, so the obvious outcome of that would be more conversions." Sunni Islam is the world's most prominent branch of Islam. The Nation of Islam and the Moorish Science Temple, other Muslim groups that attract many blacks, believe in prophets after Muhammad, making them anathema to Sunni Islam. Rash ad Byrdsong, an elder in Pittsburgh's black Muslim community, hopes the rise in interest in Sunni Islam will help the Mumin Mosque collect money to expand their small house of worshtp into a larger community gathering place. The new mosque. still in the planning stages, will look more like a community center than a ' dous. Would to God that more men shouldered that responsibility seriously and with an eye ever toward the great and terrible Day of Judgment. when they will stand before God to give an accounting of ju~t how faithfully they reflected the Lord in the lives of their children' In the meantime, it is very important for all of us to realize that even at its very best the human father to child relationship only mirrors our relationship with God. Yes, of course. it does accurately renee! the truth of our relationship with God ... but it is only a rcnection. not the relationship itself. The central point the Psalmist makes is the Lord is merciful to those who honor and respect Him. And our Lord Jesus teaches us the heavenly Father is ever willing and desires to pout out His good blessings upmi His children. The Apostle St. P.aul tells us that, whatever the relationship with our earthly father, we may approach God intimately and without any fear, always bearing in mind that if He does discipline, He only "disciplines those whom He loves." (See Deuteronomy 8.5 and Hebrews 12.6) Our relationship to God as Father is a very basic Biblical image vitally important in our life of faith. So may the purity of this image be properly restored and preserved for all it's worth. Having said this, many of us need to see the Lord God for the first time, as it were, so long have we looked at Him through the corroded lenses of our all-too· fallible earthly fathers. More than this, many of us need to look past all else and everyone else, including (or perhaps especially) our earthly fathers, to see God for the first time with eyes wide open, in all of His power and ~lory, in all of His love and mercy, m all of His tender and loving compassion ... .as Father. Our Father. Abba, Father' Amen. Note: Wonder what to do in the absence (or gross negligence) of an earthly father. especially as that role is so vitally important in the spiritual growth and development of a child (or teen)'' Consider "filling the gap" as much as possible with, for example, a grandfather or uncle, teacher or coach, scout leader or pastor, etc. Pray about it, then look an,j choose carefully. No one may exactly be able to "take daddy's place," but the Lord may very well direct you to one or two men who might at least help mitigate the painful absence (or negligence) of daddy. God bless. Friday, March 23, 2007 gious function s:" Pittsburgh, ltke some other cities on the East Coast and Midwest. has long been a magnet for black Muslims, beginning in the early 20th century. when more than I million blacks moved from the South to the North . Pittsburgh, then a prosperous stee I town, attracted thousands of blacks seeking work, and became one of several cities where Sunni Islam took hold. Today. black Muslims here brag that in I 932 Pittsburgh became home to the first chartered Muslim mosque in the United States. Byrdsong. executive director of the Communitv Empowerment Association, wa~s attracted to Islam while serving a I0-year prison sentence for robbery. He said the religion appeals to many, includin~ those in prison, because of strict rules banning alcohol and drugs and its success at keeping people from deteriorating mto a life of crime. Pittsburgh is home not only to black Muslims, but also a broad community of immigrants who practice the religion. However. until Sept. II. the two communities were largely isolated. After the attacks, immigrants - subject to FBI surveillance. police raids and other scrutiny - began to reach out to black Muslims in Pittsburgh. whose persecution they could suddenly relate to, said Sarah Jameela Martin, 64, an active member of the city's black Muslim community. . "It really was a time for us to come together," Martin said. But Sept. 11 also put an end to any hopes the black Muslim community had to collect money for their mosque project from Saudi Arabia and other Muslim countries overseas, because new U.S. laws put Islamic charities under greater scrutiny. Now, as immigrant and black Muslims in Pittsbur~h try to improve the religion's tmagc and separate it from global terrorism. blacks are paving the way. Martin said. Black women, for example. have long worn the traditional head-covering. or hijab, to work. while immigrants have been reluctant to do so. she said TOday. Muslims in Pittsburgh are faF more visible, she said. "Because of our social tag .. . we didn't mind," Byrdsong said. pointing to his dark skin as an explanation to w.hY being openly Muslim has never been a problem for blacks in America. "We can't hide it." traditional minaret -topped Muslim place of worship tound in the Arab world. The expanded Homewood mosque will . have a dayc are facility, a re-entry program lor released inmates. a health chnt c and a program for entrepreneurs, features that are in great need in the downtrodden neighborhood. "First, the spiritual aspects. the dawa, but also baste, physical, fundamental needs." Byrdsong said. In the fourth year of its sevenyear expansion plan. Pittsburgh's tight-knit Muslin~ community has raised much ol the $1 .5 million needed in the project's first phase throu~h book sales,- telephone fundrats ers. auctions and banquets. It has purchased all but two lots it will need, and already has the sketches for the future mosque complex. "Building the mosque has always been a goal. idea. vision," said Yusef Ali, 63 , emir of the Mumin Mosque. "But as a it 's community grows (become) a solid goal with str'ltegic objectives." . A growtng number ot Muslims in America, especially blacks, are building mosques that offer a variety of community services, partly because the federal and state governments do not answer to many of their social needs , Islamic experts say. These complexes take the religion back to its roots before the modern-day state began providin¥, services to the population. 'What you have here is the creation of a true American Islam," said Edward Curtis, a religious studies professor who specializes in Afncan-American Islam at IUPUI. "Islam has been a part of this country from its beginning, and the forms of Islam that are successful here are indigenous forms." The Homewood mosque , though unique, follows a model similar to other black mosques in the United States, Mamiya said.

Or as it is in another translation, "as a father is kind to his children. so the Lord is kind to those who honor him." (103 . 13. NCV and GNT) There is an underlying assumption here. of course, as there is when Jesus said to a group of men. "if you then, for all your evil, quite natural ly give good things to your children, how much more likely is it that your Heavenly Father will give good things to those 'who ask Him''" (Matthew 7 .II . Phillips) Furthermore. Jesus taught his disciples to pray to "our Father," and the Apostle St Paul tells us.in his Letter to the Romans that believers have "received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out. ·Abba. Father."' (Romans 8. 15, NKJV) That is, we are to have such an intimate relationship with GO<.I that we may comfonably address Him as "Daddy!'' This is the strong and compassionate, protective and benevolent, approachable father image presented to us in Scripture as essentially renecting God. The assumptions. of course . are that fathers are kindhearted. intuitively inclined to bestow what is healthy and beneticial, and that there exists with their children an intimate and indissolub'le bond. It almost ~oes without saying this is often tragtcally not the case; thus. many children grow up into adulthood with a very distorted view of God due largely to the image of their earthly father and their relationship with him. What they have seen and experienced in him they quite naturally (though subconsciously) project onto the heavenly Father. So, for example, if their father was cold, rigid . and overly demanding they may very well view God as being a rather harsh, unfeeling and difficult Deity. If daddy was little more that a cuddly teddy bear who never disciplined, they might see God as something like a great grand papa in the sky, ready to wink at sin and rain down gifts at the drop of a hat. If their father skipped out on them - that is, left home and heart!\ they may very well have difficulty trusting "our Father," forever fearful that, despite His good promises, He will one day abandon them ... just like daddy did so many years before. (What an awful and horrendous fear with which to live, wondering if God is going to "skip out'") Or suppose daddy stuck around, physically, but never really entered · mto their lives or showed any real interest? ln other words, what if their father was present in body but largely absent from their lives in any significant sense'' They may very well believe God is "around" but not really very interested in the affairs of their personal life. And we could go on and on ad infinitum. Naturally. the responsibility incumbenr upon fathers is tremen- PageA2 17-10) 992-645 1 507 Mulberry Heights Pomeroy, Ohio 45769 ~.

THAT 'IOU'RE INFRINGIN6 COPYRIGHT Judge orders Atlanta schools to pay misdiagnosed student's private tuition BY DOUG GROSS LAWSON 'IOUTUBE. Why don't the· two parties work together? Wiiliam Rusher process of putting lhe various proposed solutions up to a vote. To be sure, they craftily made the voting process a complicated one, in which all sides would be heard out, compromises could be reached and the right of a majority to have its way would be limited in various respects. The decision on any given question must be adopted by the House of Representatives. and separately (and often contradictorily) by the Senate, and then compromised (if possible) and readopted by both. And then lhe [esult must be signed by the president before it can actually become law. If. however. the president vetoes it. lhe result can still become law if both Houses of Congress readopt it by a two-thirds vote of each. Even then, however, it may ·fail to become law if lhe Supreme Court rules it unwnstitutionaL Complicated as the process is, that's the way the nation's major decisions are made, and in general it has worked brilliantly well. True enough, the Fathers failed to foresee, or at any rate to provide officially for, the growth of political parties, which are essentially just durable factions whose members tend to have more in common with each 01her than lhey do with lhe members of the olher factions. But the development of political parties dido' t. ~quire an~. major changes m the deciSion process laid down in the Constitution. A moment's thought makes it clear now wise that process is. Suppose the Founders had actually provtded lhat aiJ major decisions must be made by "consensus." Would the consensus have to be unanimous? Surely not - there will always be some crackpot senator or congressman who would refuse to go along. So each parly would have to arrive at its own position by whatever melhod it chose, lhen seek consensus wilh the other party (or panies). 1bal is n01 far from what acrually hap- . pens in many cases today, but it doesn't provide for situations in which lhe · parties cannot or will not reach a consensus wilh each olher. So a vote simply must be taken, and the will of the majority will prevail. Actually, experience teaches that the nation is often most ill-served when the two panies do in fact "get together" and agree on something, rather than resolving their difference$ by a majority vote. There are many examples of this in every session of Congress. If lhe parties privately agree on (say) what officeholders' salaries ought .to be. or what perks they ought to enjoy, you can bet the losers will be lhe laXpayers. Far better that such things should be slugged out between lhe par.' ties, wilh lhe minority loudly accusing the majority Of overreaching. Yes, the brawls between the Republicans and lhe Democrats can get tiring, and both are routinely guilty of posturing just to look. better than their rival. But that way we at least get to see what's going on. It's when hannony (and sileoce) reign on Capitol Hill that the VOl· ers have most cause to worry.

ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER ATLANTA - A federal judge has told Atlanla Public Schools to pay up to $152,<XXJ to send a student long misdiagnosed as mentally disabled to a private school. U.S. District Court Judge Marvin Shoob ordered the schools to pay for Jarron Draper. now ~0. to attend a school specializing in developmental disabilities for up to four years. Draper. who attended Benjamin E. May s High School until two years ago. had been misdiagnosed with mental retardation by the school system in 1998. according to court documents.

From his famous ove ns came delectable breads. mouthwatering muffins. sc rumptious cakes. succulent pies. and tantalizing cookies. But of all the things he enjoyed making. gingerbread was chief. He delighted in forming the gin· gerbread into intricately amazing displays of genius, his clever hands delicately crafting it as thou~h he were· a Renaissance arttst. Finally the time came to put his hand to his " piece de resistance ." He spent day s making sure that everything was ready, sparing no expense in acquiring lhe highest quality ingredients possible. He painstakingly pre- . pared his dough and then, when satisfied with his work, placed it upon its pan. shaping its little body wilh perfect proportions, attending lo every detail with meticulous care. When done, the baker opened the door to his oven and, with a delighted twinkle in his eye, slid the pan onto the rack and shut the door. While he waited on the gingerbread man to bake. customers entered the store. Most of them were helped by the baker's assistants, but a few of those who were most familiar with the baker joined him as he gazed through the glass of the oven door. Once they caught sight of the wonderful gingerbread man baking inside. they each asked the price of it for they each very much wished to own it "No. no." lhe baker replied every time. "This one is for my son iutd me. It isn't to be eaten: I have made this one to keep with us always." When the time came for the gingerbread man to leave the oven. the baker opened the oven door and removed the baking pan with the perfect little inan upon it After it had cooled enough. the baker decorated the small figure with colorful icing, placing colorful little eyes upon its gingerbread face. httle buttons on its gingerbread shirt . and even little boots upon its gingerbread feet. When he \vas done. the baker sighed with satisfac- Thorn Mollohan tion . "This is good," he said. The little gingerbread man stirred, lifted his head from the plate on which he was lying, and stood up, looking . up at the baker with wonder in his eyes. The baker smiled. " Welcome," he said. The gingerbread man smiled back and bowed to him with gratitude. But when the baker turned his back on his small creation, the gingerbread's sharp eyes caught sight of lhe wide world beyond the window. And off he went. quick as lightning, from the table to the countertop, and from the countertop through the open window into what was beyond. On his two small but slurdy gingerbread feet he landed. He looked about and saw that lhe baker had seen his exit.' and was running from view past the window, onJy to reappear through the bakery door. "Don't go'" the baker called. "The world is too dangerous! Stay with me and we'll always be together!" But the gingerbread man's mind was too full of possibilities and his heart was too full of blind and spontaneous ambition. "Run," he called over his shoulder as he raced away. "Run' Run as fast as you can' You can't catch me' I'm the gingerbread man!" The litlle man ran down lhe street, past the surprised eyes of people out about their busmess. The baker followed, calling after the small gingerbread man, calling for him to come home. As the gingerbread man made his way down the street, he passed by two of the baker's young assislants who were making afternoon deliveries of breads and desserts.

A convicted child molester and his parents. who lived near Christopher in a trailer across the street from the boy's grandmother, have all three been charged with child molestation and murder in the 'child's death.

The funeral for the child whose slaying shocked this G,eorgia port city brought the boy's family together with many who had been complete strangers before they volunteered to help search for the child after he vanished March 8.

As he stood by the water's edge. desperately looking for some way of escape, he suddenly noticed that he wa' standing by a red, fuzzy fox. The fox looked at him with understanding and compas~ sion in his eyes. '·You're trapped. little one. But I can carry you across'" The gingerbread man eagerly agreed and climbed onlo the fox's fuzzy back, who quickly began to paddle out into the water. The boy. the assistants and the baker ' reached the river's edge and stood lhere, looking sadly at the departing ginjlerbread man and fox. The httle man giggled again. proud of his daring wit "Oh, dear'" the fox said solemnly. "I think you had better climb higher: the current is stronger here and I'm afraid you may be washed away." The little man gulped and did as the fox suggested. But soon the fox clicked his ton~ue. ''Oh. my! The water ts rougher than I had thought. You'd better climb up by my head." The gingerbread man's little gingerbread feet were getting damp, so he did as he was told. The fox suddenly had a sly glint in his eyes, and the gingerbread roan realized that he had been tricked .

THAT 'IOU'RE INFRINGIN6 COPYRIGHT Judge orders Atlanta schools to pay misdiagnosed student's private tuition BY DOUG GROSS LAWSON 'IOUTUBE. Why don't the· two parties work together? Wiiliam Rusher process of putting lhe various proposed solutions up to a vote. To be sure, they craftily made the voting process a complicated one, in which all sides would be heard out, compromises could be reached and the right of a majority to have its way would be limited in various respects. The decision on any given question must be adopted by the House of Representatives. and separately (and often contradictorily) by the Senate, and then compromised (if possible) and readopted by both. And then lhe [esult must be signed by the president before it can actually become law. If. however. the president vetoes it. lhe result can still become law if both Houses of Congress readopt it by a two-thirds vote of each. Even then, however, it may ·fail to become law if lhe Supreme Court rules it unwnstitutionaL Complicated as the process is, that's the way the nation's major decisions are made, and in general it has worked brilliantly well. True enough, the Fathers failed to foresee, or at any rate to provide officially for, the growth of political parties, which are essentially just durable factions whose members tend to have more in common with each 01her than lhey do with lhe members of the olher factions. But the development of political parties dido' t. ~quire an~. major changes m the deciSion process laid down in the Constitution. A moment's thought makes it clear now wise that process is. Suppose the Founders had actually provtded lhat aiJ major decisions must be made by "consensus." Would the consensus have to be unanimous? Surely not - there will always be some crackpot senator or congressman who would refuse to go along. So each parly would have to arrive at its own position by whatever melhod it chose, lhen seek consensus wilh the other party (or panies). 1bal is n01 far from what acrually hap- . pens in many cases today, but it doesn't provide for situations in which lhe · parties cannot or will not reach a consensus wilh each olher. So a vote simply must be taken, and the will of the majority will prevail. Actually, experience teaches that the nation is often most ill-served when the two panies do in fact "get together" and agree on something, rather than resolving their difference$ by a majority vote. There are many examples of this in every session of Congress. If lhe parties privately agree on (say) what officeholders' salaries ought .to be. or what perks they ought to enjoy, you can bet the losers will be lhe laXpayers. Far better that such things should be slugged out between lhe par.' ties, wilh lhe minority loudly accusing the majority Of overreaching. Yes, the brawls between the Republicans and lhe Democrats can get tiring, and both are routinely guilty of posturing just to look. better than their rival. But that way we at least get to see what's going on. It's when hannony (and sileoce) reign on Capitol Hill that the VOl· ers have most cause to worry.

From his famous ove ns came delectable breads. mouthwatering muffins. sc rumptious cakes. succulent pies. and tantalizing cookies. But of all the things he enjoyed making. gingerbread was chief. He delighted in forming the gin· gerbread into intricately amazing displays of genius, his clever hands delicately crafting it as thou~h he were· a Renaissance arttst. Finally the time came to put his hand to his " piece de resistance ." He spent day s making sure that everything was ready, sparing no expense in acquiring lhe highest quality ingredients possible. He painstakingly pre- . pared his dough and then, when satisfied with his work, placed it upon its pan. shaping its little body wilh perfect proportions, attending lo every detail with meticulous care. When done, the baker opened the door to his oven and, with a delighted twinkle in his eye, slid the pan onto the rack and shut the door. While he waited on the gingerbread man to bake. customers entered the store. Most of them were helped by the baker's assistants, but a few of those who were most familiar with the baker joined him as he gazed through the glass of the oven door. Once they caught sight of the wonderful gingerbread man baking inside. they each asked the price of it for they each very much wished to own it "No. no." lhe baker replied every time. "This one is for my son iutd me. It isn't to be eaten: I have made this one to keep with us always." When the time came for the gingerbread man to leave the oven. the baker opened the oven door and removed the baking pan with the perfect little inan upon it After it had cooled enough. the baker decorated the small figure with colorful icing, placing colorful little eyes upon its gingerbread face. httle buttons on its gingerbread shirt . and even little boots upon its gingerbread feet.

The little gingerbread man stirred, lifted his head from the plate on which he was lying, and stood up, looking . up at the baker with wonder in his eyes. The baker smiled. " Welcome," he said. The gingerbread man smiled back and bowed to him with gratitude. But when the baker turned his back on his small creation, the gingerbread's sharp eyes caught sight of lhe wide world beyond the window. And off he went. quick as lightning, from the table to the countertop, and from the countertop through the open window into what was beyond. On his two small but slurdy gingerbread feet he landed. He looked about and saw that lhe baker had seen his exit.' and was running from view past the window, onJy to reappear through the bakery door. "Don't go'" the baker called. "The world is too dangerous! Stay with me and we'll always be together!" But the gingerbread man's mind was too full of possibilities and his heart was too full of blind and spontaneous ambition. "Run," he called over his shoulder as he raced away. "Run' Run as fast as you can' You can't catch me' I'm the gingerbread man!" The litlle man ran down lhe street, past the surprised eyes of people out about their busmess. The baker followed, calling after the small gingerbread man, calling for him to come home.

A convicted child molester and his parents. who lived near Christopher in a trailer across the street from the boy's grandmother, have all three been charged with child molestation and murder in the 'child's death. Prosecutors say they will seek the death penalty. The funeral for the child whose slaying shocked this G,eorgia port city brought the boy's family together with many who had been complete strangers before they volunteered to help search for the child after he vanished March 8.

The httle man giggled again. proud of his daring wit "Oh, dear'" the fox said solemnly. "I think you had better climb higher: the current is stronger here and I'm afraid you may be washed away."

Harry Houdi;1i ' couldn ' t esl·apc the Grim Reaper: He died on H<llloween 1926. apparentl y from a punch to the stomal·h that ruptured his appendix . But rumors that he was murdered have persisted for decades.Eighty-o ne years after Houdini 's death. his grealnephew wants the escape arti st's bodv exhumed to determine if enemies poisonl!d him for debunking their bogus claims of contact with the dead. "It needs to be looked at." George Hardeen told The Associated Press. "His death shocked the entire nation , if not the world. Now. maybe it 's time to take a second look." Houdini's family scheduled a news conference for Friday to give details on the plans. Prominent New York lawyer Joseph Tacopina is helping clear any legal hurdles to the exhumation. A team of top forensic investigators would conduct new tests on Houdini's body. said Hardeen. whose grandfather was Houdini's brother. The circumstances surrounding Houdini's sudden death are as murky as the rivers where he often escaped from chains. locks and wooden boxes . The generally accepted version was that Houdini. 52. suffered a ruptured appendix. from a punch in the stomach. leading to a fatal case of pi!ritonitis. But no autopsy was pi!rformed. When the death certificate was filed on Nov. 20. 1926. Houdini ·s body - brought by train from Detroit to Manhattan - had already been buried in Queen s. along with any evidence of a rossible ~eath plot. Within days, a newspaper headline wondered, "Was Houdini Murdered"" A 2006 biography, "The Secret Life of Houdini." raised the issue again and convinced some that he might have been poisoned. including George HarJeen. who lives in Arizona and is the chief spokesman for the president of the Navajo Nation. The likeliest murder suspects were members of a group known as the Spiritualists. The magician devoted large portions of his stage show to exposing the group's fraudulent seances. The movement's devotees included Sherlock Holmes author Arthur Conan Doyle. In the Houdini biography, authors William Kalush and Larry Sloman detail a November 1924 letter in which Doyle said Houdini would "get his just desserts very exactly meted out ... I think there is a general payday coming soon." Two years later, Houdini - bv all accdunts a man in extraordinary physical shape - was dead. Kalush and Sloman say that "the Spiritualist underworld's modus operdl1di in cases like this was otien poisoning" possibly arsenic, which could be detected decades later. The authors also suggest that Houdini might have been poisoned by "an experimental serum" injected by one of his doctors at Detroit's Grace Hospital. Houdini Look the Spiritualists· death threats seriously. but he traveled without security, often accompanied only by his wife, Bess. "If someone were hellbent on poisoning Houdini," the authors wrote, "it wouldn't have been very difticult." The team working on the exhumation includes internationally known forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden and professor James Starrs. a forensic pathologist who has studied the disinterred remains of gunslinger Jesse James and "Boston Strangler" Albert DeSalvo. Baden. who chaired panels reinvestigating the deaths of President John F. Kennedy and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., pointed out a pair of oddities in Houdini's death certificate : It noted his appendix was on the left side. rather than the right. And the diagnosis of appendicitis caused by a punch was "very unusual."

Simonyi left Hungary at 17, roughly a decade after the Soviet Union launched the Space Age by send: ing Sputnik, the first man-made satellite. into orbit. He went to the United States to study engineering and computer sci~ ence, and went on to help develop two of the world 's most popular software applications, Microsoft Corp.' s Word and Excel. This spring Simonyi is to be taken to the ISS aboard a Russian Soyuz spacecraft. U.S. software developer to become world's 5th space tourist BY MARIA DANILOVA ASSOC IATED PRESS WRITER STAR CITY, Russia Decades before helping to write the programs that led to Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel , Charles Simonyi learned the basics on a clunky. Soviet-era computer called Ural-2. Next month. the U.S. billionaire programmer will carry a paper-tape memento from that hrst computer and put his faith in the heirs to that Soviet-era technology when he blasts into space aboard a Soyuz rocket to become the world's fifth space tourist. "I will take one uf those paper tapes with me to remind me where it all started," Simonyi told reporters Thursday at Russia's Star City cosmonaut preparation center. Simonyi 's skill at computers and his work in helping to develop the world's most commonly used word processing and spreadsheet programs earned him enough money to spare more than $20 million to become the world's fifth "space tourist," set to blast off early next month. Simonyi, 58, will travel to the international space station aboard a Soyuz TMA10 capsule together with Russian cosmonauts Fyodor Yurchikhin and Oleg Kotov and return to Earth II days later with its current crew Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Tyurin and Spanish-born U.S. astronaut Miguel Lopez- Alegria. U.S. astronaut Sunita Williams is expected to remain on board the station until June, when she is replaced by Clayton Anderson . Since beginning training at Star City in October. Simonyi. like the other "space tourists" before him. has had to learn to walk and breathe in a cumbersome space suit, use special gas masks, practice helicopter rescues in case of a water landing. and other tasks. The hardest thing of all, he said, has been spinning in a high-speed rotating chair to help train against dizziness in space - along With learning some Russian. Now that he is finished training. he says he is sure the trip will go without a hitch. "I am nervous about public appearances and press conferences, but !think that about the fli~ht I am not nervous at all, ' the soft-spoken Simonyi said. "I ve learned about the system and the more I learn. the more sure I am about the backups ... and I think it's perfectly safe." His mother needed some reassuring, however. he said .. "My mother is very worried. but very understanding and I think we 'II be all ri'ghL." he later told The Associated Press in an intervtew. AI the station, he will conduct a number of experi ments. including measuring mdiation levels and studying biological organisms inside the space station. "He will work responsi bly and with full dedication," said Kotov, who said Simonyi was well-qualified for the trip.

The author has had published several novels, short stories and magazine articles. He is a regular reviewer for several newspapers and a member of the Screen Writer's Guild. Wamsley said the book tells the story of Henry Flagler, a cofounder with John D. Rockefeller of the Standard Oil Company and one of the richest men in America in the late 1800's. The state of Florida's develo~ment as a vacation and tounst site owes much to Flagler's interest in the state. He built the ~rand Ponce de Leon Hotel m St. Augustine, bought an existing railroad that ended in Jacksonville and extended it down the east coast of Florida making it easier for costs cannot be blamed on any one sector. It will take Congress, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, insurers and doctors working in concert to effect any meaningful change. We believe every American should have access to affordable, highquality health care coverage. The uninsured are four times more likely to not have a regular source of care and four times more likely to delay seeking care until a small health problem becomes a catastrophe. A system guaranteeing care would result in a healthier and more productive society and keep costs down for all. - Rick D.

Although the book tells much about all of Flagler's life, most of it is thJ! story of his determination to build a railroad to link Key West to the mainland of Florida, crossing the ocean from island to island with railrpad bridges and tracks. In 1912, the task was accomplished. It was destroyed by the "storm of the century" a category five hurricane occurring in September 1935. It had taken seven years to build and cost $30 dollars of Flagler's own money.

For all of his death-defying stunts, Harry Houdini couldn 't escape the Gnm Reaper: the unparalleled performer, age 52, expired on Halloween 1926. Eighty-Qne years later, Houdini 's greatnephew wants to exhume the escape artist's body to determine 1f enem1es poisoned his renowned relative for debunkmg their bogus claims of contact with the dead. Relative of Houdini wants body exhumed to detennine whether escape artist was poisoned BY LARRY McSHANE ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER NEW YORK - For all hi s d~ alh - defvin g stunts. Harry Houdi;1i ' couldn ' t esl·apc the Grim Reaper: He died on H<llloween 1926. apparentl y from a punch to the stomal·h that ruptured his appendix . But rumors that he was murdered have persisted for decades.Eighty-o ne years after Houdini 's death. his grealnephew wants the escape arti st's bodv exhumed to determine if enemies poisonl!d him for debunking their bogus claims of contact with the dead. "It needs to be looked at." George Hardeen told The Associated Press. "His death shocked the entire nation , if not the world. Now. maybe it 's time to take a second look." Houdini's family scheduled a news conference for Friday to give details on the plans. Prominent New York lawyer Joseph Tacopina is helping clear any legal hurdles to the exhumation. A team of top forensic investigators would conduct new tests on Houdini's body. said Hardeen. whose grandfather was Houdini's brother. The circumstances surrounding Houdini's sudden death are as murky as the rivers where he often escaped from chains. locks and wooden boxes . The generally accepted version was that Houdini. 52. suffered a ruptured appendix. from a punch in the stomach. leading to a fatal case of pi!ritonitis. But no autopsy was pi!rformed. When the death certificate was filed on Nov. 20. 1926. Houdini ·s body - brought by train from Detroit to Manhattan - had already been buried in Queen s. along with any evidence of a rossible ~eath plot. Within days, a newspaper headline wondered, "Was Houdini Murdered"" A 2006 biography, "The Secret Life of Houdini." raised the issue again and convinced some that he might have been poisoned. including George HarJeen. who lives in Arizona and is the chief spokesman for the president of the Navajo Nation. The likeliest murder suspects were members of a group known as the Spiritualists. The magician devoted large portions of his stage show to exposing the group's fraudulent seances. The movement's devotees included Sherlock Holmes author Arthur Conan Doyle. In the Houdini biography, authors William Kalush and Larry Sloman detail a November 1924 letter in which Doyle said Houdini would "get his just desserts very exactly meted out ... I think there is a general payday coming soon." Two years later, Houdini - bv all accdunts a man in extraordinary physical shape - was dead. Kalush and Sloman say that "the Spiritualist underworld's modus operdl1di in cases like this was otien poisoning" possibly arsenic, which could be detected decades later. The authors also suggest that Houdini might have been poisoned by "an experimental serum" injected by one of his doctors at Detroit's Grace Hospital. Houdini Look the Spiritualists· death threats seriously. but he traveled without security, often accompanied only by his wife, Bess. "If someone were hellbent on poisoning Houdini," the authors wrote, "it wouldn't have been very difticult." The team working on the exhumation includes internationally known forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden and professor James Starrs. a forensic pathologist who has studied the disinterred remains of gunslinger Jesse James and "Boston Strangler" Albert DeSalvo. Baden. who chaired panels reinvestigating the deaths of President John F. Kennedy and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., pointed out a pair of oddities in Houdini's death certificate : It noted his appendix was on the left side. rather than the right. And the diagnosis of appendicitis caused by a punch was "very unusual."

Simonyi left Hungary at 17, roughly a decade after the Soviet Union launched the Space Age by send: ing Sputnik, the first man-made satellite. into orbit. He went to the United States to study engineering and computer sci~ ence, and went on to help develop two of the world 's most popular software applications, Microsoft Corp.' s Word and Excel. This spring Simonyi is to be taken to the ISS aboard a Russian Soyuz spacecraft. U.S. software developer to become world's 5th space tourist BY MARIA DANILOVA ASSOC IATED PRESS WRITER STAR CITY, Russia Decades before helping to write the programs that led to Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel , Charles Simonyi learned the basics on a clunky. Soviet-era computer called Ural-2. Next month. the U.S. billionaire programmer will carry a paper-tape memento from that hrst computer and put his faith in the heirs to that Soviet-era technology when he blasts into space aboard a Soyuz rocket to become the world's fifth space tourist. "I will take one uf those paper tapes with me to remind me where it all started," Simonyi told reporters Thursday at Russia's Star City cosmonaut preparation center. Simonyi 's skill at computers and his work in helping to develop the world's most commonly used word processing and spreadsheet programs earned him enough money to spare more than $20 million to become the world's fifth "space tourist," set to blast off early next month. Simonyi, 58, will travel to the international space station aboard a Soyuz TMA10 capsule together with Russian cosmonauts Fyodor Yurchikhin and Oleg Kotov and return to Earth II days later with its current crew Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Tyurin and Spanish-born U.S. astronaut Miguel Lopez- Alegria. U.S. astronaut Sunita Williams is expected to remain on board the station until June, when she is replaced by Clayton Anderson . Since beginning training at Star City in October. Simonyi. like the other "space tourists" before him. has had to learn to walk and breathe in a cumbersome space suit, use special gas masks, practice helicopter rescues in case of a water landing. and other tasks. The hardest thing of all, he said, has been spinning in a high-speed rotating chair to help train against dizziness in space - along With learning some Russian. Now that he is finished training. he says he is sure the trip will go without a hitch. "I am nervous about public appearances and press conferences, but !think that about the fli~ht I am not nervous at all, ' the soft-spoken Simonyi said. "I ve learned about the system and the more I learn. the more sure I am about the backups ... and I think it's perfectly safe." His mother needed some reassuring, however. he said .. "My mother is very worried. but very understanding and I think we 'II be all ri'ghL." he later told The Associated Press in an intervtew. AI the station, he will conduct a number of experi ments. including measuring mdiation levels and studying biological organisms inside the space station. "He will work responsi bly and with full dedication," said Kotov, who said Simonyi was well-qualified for the trip. "If you look at the program of his !light, he practically .doesn ' t have spare time." Born in Communist Hungary. Simony tirst leaned computer programming on a Soviet-built computer called Ural-2- he said he has kept the paper tapes from the computer all this time as a reminder of how dnunatically technology has changed.

The other thing that makes me nervous is that t;wo of my other friends were over at Molly· s house and found a scale under her bed. Annie, we are really startin~ to get scared. Do you thmk Motly has a problem" - Worried Friend Dear Worried: Maybe. Although Molly isn't eating a lot. she is getting some nutrition every day. The scale under her ·bed may indicate that she's obsessing about her wei ght, but it might also just be a convenient storage space . You should talk to your parents about your concerns, and they can discuss it with Molly's parents. You should go to your school counselor or nurse if you notice Molly is eating less, exercising · exce ss ively or making frequent trips to the bathroom after lunch.

This happened once before with someone else. AL the end of that visit, the guest said she felt like family, but I hid how hard it was for me. My partner says I am unreasonable and a troublemaker.

And there' s no reason for you to open your home to a complete stranger. Many people would have a problem extending their hospitality that far. Feel free to say, "So sorry, but we can' t accommodate you." Your partner should be supportive instead of blaming you for not ~nning a hotel. Tell him so. Dear Annie: Dr. Larry S. Fields suggests that Congress should do more about health care . May I suggest that he and others in the medical field take a long look at themselves? When a doctor charges $168 for a 15-minute office visit and gives you a prescription that costs $1,700 for 28 pills, something is wrong. What are people without insurance supposed to do? How does he expect a person earning minimum wage to pay for health insurance that costs $300 a month'' In order to tix. the health care crisis, pharmacies, insurance companies, doctors and hospitals need to start by reining in their costs.

The author has had published several novels, short stories and magazine articles. He is a regular reviewer for several newspapers and a member of the Screen Writer's Guild. Wamsley said the book tells the story of Henry Flagler, a cofounder with John D. Rockefeller of the Standard Oil Company and one of the richest men in America in the late 1800's. The state of Florida's develo~ment as a vacation and tounst site owes much to Flagler's interest in the state. He built the ~rand Ponce de Leon Hotel m St. Augustine, bought an existing railroad that ended in Jacksonville and extended it down the east coast of Florida making it easier for costs cannot be blamed on any one sector. It will take Congress, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, insurers and doctors working in concert to effect any meaningful change. We believe every American should have access to affordable, highquality health care coverage. The uninsured are four times more likely to not have a regular source of care and four times more likely to delay seeking care until a small health problem becomes a catastrophe. A system guaranteeing care would result in a healthier and more productive society and keep costs down for all. - Rick D.

Although the book tells much about all of Flagler's life, most of it is thJ! story of his determination to build a railroad to link Key West to the mainland of Florida, crossing the ocean from island to island with railrpad bridges and tracks. In 1912, the task was accomplished. It was destroyed by the "storm of the century" a category five hurricane occurring in September 1935. It had taken seven years to build and cost $30 dollars of Flagler's own money.

Despite losing superstars O.J. Mayo and Bill Walker, North College Hill kept alive its hopes for a third consecutive Division Ill state championship by beating Wheelersburg 69-66 in overtime in the semifinals on Thursday. Damon Butler's running one-handed 3-pointer at the buzzer was the difference for the surprising Trojans ( 16-7), who started the tournament trail having barely won more games (I 0) than they had lost (7). It was a wild ending. unlike the previous two years when all the drama had been taken out of games involving the powerhouse Trojans. Wheelersburg's Seth Cowgill forced the overtime by hitting a long 3-pointer with 3 seconds left in regulation. In the overtime, Nathaniel Glover gave North College Hill a 65-63 when he slashed through the lane and tossed in an arching shot that bare· ly cleared the front edge of the rim with 21 seconds left.

Manage r Jerry Narron also dodged the subject of his outfielder-on-the-move. Best to leave that subject alone for now. They won' t be able to avoid it for much longer. The bi g~e st mystery in the Cincinnati Reds camp isn't gelling any cleare( with opening day linle more than a week away. Griffey was o ut of 1he lineup again Thursday - he has yet to appear in a game this spring - and was still trying to avoid discussing one of the most significant changes in his career. Narron has decided to switch the center fielder to right when he 's ready to play. The 37-year-old outfielder has spent his whole career in center, winning 10 Gold Gloves. Griffey is going along with the decision, but emphasized on Thursday that it's not his idea. " It doesn't reall~ maner how I felt about it,' he said. "That' s really not imporiant. I'm going there and I've got to make the best of it." His feelings about moving to right field could evolve into a long-term issue. For now, the overriding question is when he's going to get there. Griffey broke his left hand while wrestling with his children in December. The hand was expected to be fully healed by the time spring training started, but is still bothering him when he takes batting practice. How much1 He won't say. "When I feel I can go out there, I'll go out there," he said. Asked to provide a better idea of how close he is to playing. Griffey said, "Do I AP photo Cincinnati Reds outfielder Ken Griffey Jr. tosses a ball at baseball spri·ng training i)'l this Feb . 22 file photo in Sarasota, Fla. ' want to expand on it? No." The vague, evasive answers aren't unusual for Griffey. He' ll talk ex pansively about anything except baseball or himself. When he's hurt, he'll do just about anything to avoid talking, period. On Thursday, he saw a few reporters edging toward his locker and made a point to have some fun with his tearnmatc;:s and coaches, trying to keep himself busy until the clubhouse closed to reporters. He spotted former Reds outfielder George Foster a special instructor in camp walking through the clubhouse in old, weatherbeaten shoes and turned the moment into another way of buying time. He rumma!led through five of the mne boxes of size- II shoes in his locker, picked out two pairs gave them to Foster. "Can't have you (coking like that.'' Griffey said. Footwear was a fine subject for conversation. Not · right field or the hand . "Not too much you ' re going to get out of me," he said. The Reds are wondering how much they' re going to get out of him the rest of spring training. Earlier this week, Narron has said he· d like for Griffey to start playing this week. He was less specific on the subject Thursday. "Are you asking me if there's a deadline or whatever?'' Narron said . "Not really." Narron noted that if a player has to start the season on the disabled list. the move can be made retroa~­ tive to the last week of spring training if the player doesn't appear in an exhibition with the major league team during that time. Griffey missed nearly a month early last season becau se of inflammation behind his right knee, and sat out 22 of the last 24 games after dislocating a toe. He has been on the disabled list eight times sin.;e the Reds got him in a traqe with Seattle before the 200\) season. .r In the offseason, the Reds approached Griffey about moving to right field, allowing the faster Ryan Freel to play center. Griffey hasn~t played right field since Aug. 4, 2004, two days after he came off the disabled list from a torn right hamstring.

' owner Art Modell COLUMBUS (AP) - A businessman's widow suing former Cleveland Browns' owner Art Modell for $30 million has ended her lawsuit in Ohio and refiled the same claim in New York. Phyllis Andrews say s Modell owes the money as a finder 's fee based on an agreement her late husband signed in 1963. Andrews says her husband Vincent, who helped Modell buy the Cleveland franchise in 1961. was promised a 5 percent finder's fee if Modell sold the Browns. · Modell moved the Browns to Baltimore in 1996 and sold all but 1 percent of his ownership by 2004. A Maryland federal judge dismissed a similar claim in 2005 and Ohio courts have ruled the state is the wrong place to bring such a lawsuit. lhe Ohio Supreme Court on Thursday dismissed the latest claim at the request of lawyers representing Phyllis Andrews and a family trust she created. The case was dismissed in Ohio over concerns about a statute of limitations deadline for filing the suit. Andrews chose to refile in New York's State Supreme Court for Westchester County because she lives there . Modell paid Vincent Andrews $3.000 a year until his death in 1969 in compensation for Andrews' efforts helping Modell buy the Browns, according to Cuyahoga County court records. Modell sold a 49 percent ~hare of the team to Baltimore businessman Stephen Bisciotti in 1999 and gave Bisciotti an option to purchase the remaming 51 percent by 2005. Bisciotti exercised the option in 2004; the total price of the sale was about $600 million. At issue is the decision Modell made to retain 1 percent ownership in the team. Andrews says the move was just a ploy to keep from paying the finder' s fee . "The trust is owed the finder's fee because Mr. Modell agreed in 2004 to sell the team and Mr. Bisciotti exercised his option to buy the team." Christopher Green, an attorney for Andrews, said Thursday. Modell, who disputes Andrews' right to the fee, had many reasons he wanted to keep a I percent share in the team, said his attorney, Douglas Nazarian .

Guillen doubled in Gary Sheffield in the tirst inning and scored on Magglio Ordonez's double to give the Tigers a 2-0 lead. The Indians, who had been shut out in successive ~ames and hadn't scored 10 20 innings dating to the sixth inning of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Dodsers, broke through on David Dellucci's one-out solo homer - his fourth of the spri'ng ·- in the second.

SARASOTA, Fla. (AP) Ken Griffey Jr. didn't want to talk about his move to ·right field on Thursday, insisti ng it's no big deal. H1s reluctance to discuss it suggested something ent irely different. Manage r Jerry Narron also dodged the subject of his outfielder-on-the-move. Best to leave that subject alone for now. They won' t be able to avoid it for much longer. The bi g~e st mystery in the Cincinnati Reds camp isn't gelling any cleare( with opening day linle more than a week away. Griffey was o ut of 1he lineup again Thursday - he has yet to appear in a game this spring - and was still trying to avoid discussing one of the most significant changes in his career. Narron has decided to switch the center fielder to right when he 's ready to play. The 37-year-old outfielder has spent his whole career in center, winning 10 Gold Gloves. Griffey is going along with the decision, but emphasized on Thursday that it's not his idea. " It doesn't reall~ maner how I felt about it,' he said. "That' s really not imporiant. I'm going there and I've got to make the best of it." His feelings about moving to right field could evolve into a long-term issue. For now, the overriding question is when he's going to get there. Griffey broke his left hand while wrestling with his children in December. The hand was expected to be fully healed by the time spring training started, but is still bothering him when he takes batting practice. How much1 He won't say. "When I feel I can go out there, I'll go out there," he said. Asked to provide a better idea of how close he is to playing. Griffey said, "Do I AP photo Cincinnati Reds outfielder Ken Griffey Jr. tosses a ball at baseball spri·ng training i)'l this Feb . 22 file photo in Sarasota, Fla. ' want to expand on it? No." The vague, evasive answers aren't unusual for Griffey. He' ll talk ex pansively about anything except baseball or himself. When he's hurt, he'll do just about anything to avoid talking, period. On Thursday, he saw a few reporters edging toward his locker and made a point to have some fun with his tearnmatc;:s and coaches, trying to keep himself busy until the clubhouse closed to reporters. He spotted former Reds outfielder George Foster a special instructor in camp walking through the clubhouse in old, weatherbeaten shoes and turned the moment into another way of buying time. He rumma!led through five of the mne boxes of size- II shoes in his locker, picked out two pairs gave them to Foster. "Can't have you (coking like that.'' Griffey said. Footwear was a fine subject for conversation. Not · right field or the hand . "Not too much you ' re going to get out of me," he said. The Reds are wondering how much they' re going to get out of him the rest of spring training. Earlier this week, Narron has said he· d like for Griffey to start playing this week. He was less specific on the subject Thursday. "Are you asking me if there's a deadline or whatever?'' Narron said . "Not really." Narron noted that if a player has to start the season on the disabled list. the move can be made retroa~­ tive to the last week of spring training if the player doesn't appear in an exhibition with the major league team during that time. Griffey missed nearly a month early last season becau se of inflammation behind his right knee, and sat out 22 of the last 24 games after dislocating a toe. He has been on the disabled list eight times sin.;e the Reds got him in a traqe with Seattle before the 200\) season. .r In the offseason, the Reds approached Griffey about moving to right field, allowing the faster Ryan Freel to play center. Griffey hasn~t played right field since Aug. 4, 2004, two days after he came off the disabled list from a torn right hamstring. While making a slidiog catch in that game, Griffey tore the hamstring from the bone. Now, he 's goin~ back there, whether he II talk about it or not. .

Paulino was reca lled from Class AA A Indianapoli s two weeh into last season and seized the starting job fro m Humberto Cota. Paulino wound up hitting J I0 and drew raves for the way he handled the pitching staff. "What was there not to like about the job Ronny Paulino did last season ?" Pirates manager Jim Tracy said. "I don't think you could have asked a rookie catcher to do any more than he did. He was terrific ." Based on how he has played this spring, Paulino looks ready to do even more this season . He is hitting .500 with three home runs and 10 RBis in 34 at bats. Since going hitless in his first eight at bats in exhibition play, Paulino has gone 17-for-26 (.654). "I was hitting the ball well right from the start, but it was going to the second baseman or the center fielder at the beginning of the spring," Paulino said.

' owner Art Modell COLUMBUS (AP) - A businessman's widow suing former Cleveland Browns' owner Art Modell for $30 million has ended her lawsuit in Ohio and refiled the same claim in New York. Phyllis Andrews say s Modell owes the money as a finder 's fee based on an agreement her late husband signed in 1963. Andrews says her husband Vincent, who helped Modell buy the Cleveland franchise in 1961. was promised a 5 percent finder's fee if Modell sold the Browns. · Modell moved the Browns to Baltimore in 1996 and sold all but 1 percent of his ownership by 2004. A Maryland federal judge dismissed a similar claim in 2005 and Ohio courts have ruled the state is the wrong place to bring such a lawsuit. lhe Ohio Supreme Court on Thursday dismissed the latest claim at the request of lawyers representing Phyllis Andrews and a family trust she created. The case was dismissed in Ohio over concerns about a statute of limitations deadline for filing the suit. Andrews chose to refile in New York's State Supreme Court for Westchester County because she lives there . Modell paid Vincent Andrews $3.000 a year until his death in 1969 in compensation for Andrews' efforts helping Modell buy the Browns, according to Cuyahoga County court records. Modell sold a 49 percent ~hare of the team to Baltimore businessman Stephen Bisciotti in 1999 and gave Bisciotti an option to purchase the remaming 51 percent by 2005. Bisciotti exercised the option in 2004; the total price of the sale was about $600 million. At issue is the decision Modell made to retain 1 percent ownership in the team. Andrews says the move was just a ploy to keep from paying the finder' s fee . "The trust is owed the finder's fee because Mr. Modell agreed in 2004 to sell the team and Mr. Bisciotti exercised his option to buy the team." Christopher Green, an attorney for Andrews, said Thursday. Modell, who disputes Andrews' right to the fee, had many reasons he wanted to keep a I percent share in the team, said his attorney, Douglas Nazarian .

Upper Sandusky 89, Poland Seminary 58 COLUMBUS (AP) Jon Diebler didn't have to wear a mask. He might as well have been weanng a cape, though. Ohio's Mr. Basketball scored 24 pomts and led Upper Sandusky's stiflmg fullcourt press in lead10g the Rams to an 89-58 victory over Poland Semmary in a Division II state semthnal on Thursday mght. No. 10 Upper Sandusky (23-3) advances to meet defending chamJ?ion Dayton Dunbar (23-4) in what should be a classic title game Saturday. The Wolvennes beat Columbus DeSales 56-43 111 the other semifinal. Die bier, who averages 42 points a game and became Ohio's career scoring leader a few weeks ago. suffered a fractured nose in last week's regional championship wm over Olmsted Falls. His father and coach, Keith Diebler. said in the days leading up to the state tournament that Jon. a 6foot -7 semor, would most likely wear a clear plashc facemask in the game He did not. The IS-yearold who has signed to play at Ohto State next season took the court less than a day after the death of his grandfather. He hit 6-of-13 shots from the field. 3-of-8 3-pointers and 9-of- I 0 free throws.

But he heated up in the second quarter, hitting 5-of-6 shots including 3-of-4 3pointers to have 18 points at the half He had just six pomts and one field goal 10 the second. He might have floundered somewhat offensively. but he was also the triggerman on the Rams· ferocious press, which piles up points 10 bunches Down 8-5 midway through the first period, they shut out tbe Bulldogs over the final 3:50 of the quarter. running off the last 12 points for a 17-8 lead. The conunued to jam their foot on the accelerator in the second quarter, outscoring Poland Seminary 28-14 to build the lead to 45-22 at the half. Substituting in three players who are almost an even match for staners and wtth Diebler remaining on the floor to orchestrate things on both offense and defense - they never skipped a beat. The Bulldogs came in allowing 45 points a game - Upper Sandusky's total at halfhme. The second half was a tra~k meet, with Diebler bringing the ball up the court and dishing the ball to open players whenever he was double-teamed. Poland Seminary never got the lead under 19 points in the final two quarters. Upper Sandusky will be chasing its second title in the last three years. The Rams won it in 2005 in theu only other appearance at the state tournament, with Jacob Die bier playing point guard and little brother Jon playing underneath. Jacob now plays at Valparaiso, while Jon will try to fit into coach Thad Matta's attack at Ohio State. Die bier 's 24 points extended his career total to 3,160. He snapped Jay Burson's mark of 2,958 points, set from 1981 -85, on Feb. 23.

Substituting in three players who are almost an even match for staners and wtth Diebler remaining on the floor to orchestrate things on both offense and defense - they never skipped a beat. The Bulldogs came in allowing 45 points a game - Upper Sandusky's total at halfhme. The second half was a tra~k meet, with Diebler bringing the ball up the court and dishing the ball to open players whenever he was double-teamed. Poland Seminary never got the lead under 19 points in the final two quarters. Upper Sandusky will be chasing its second title in the last three years. The Rams won it in 2005 in theu only other appearance at the state tournament, with Jacob Die bier playing point guard and little brother Jon playing underneath. Jacob now plays at Valparaiso, while Jon will try to fit into coach Thad Matta's attack at Ohio State. Die bier 's 24 points extended his career total to 3,160.

By Monte Dutton NASCAR This Week HAMPTON , Ga. - So far, no one has led more laps than Kyle Busch. Whether in Nextel Cup or the Busch Series, Busch's No. 5 Chevrolets·have been at or near the front of the pack week after week. Except when the checkered flag waves. B•Jsch still awaits the first victory of 2007, but he bas plenty of lime. It's early in the season, and he won't turn 22 until May 2. Given his age and obvious skill, the future holds almost limitless potential. It's an exciting time to be a NASCAR driver, said Busch, noting the many changes taking place this year. "Toyota and what they'll do. Juan (Pablo Montoya) and how well he'll do. It's an extraordinarily different year, but it's not going to be too much different in terms of challenges," said Busch. "It couldn't get any more challenging than what this sport already is." The next big change ·hils the track this week when 'the Car of Tomorrow debuts at Bristol Motor Speedway. As a driver. Busch said it's no big deal. "It's more teams adjusting to it than drivers," he said. "There's definitely a lot of technique involved in how to set it up, definitely more technique than what's involved in how to race the thing. "There are still a lot of unknowns with the car. It hasn't been raced and it hasn't been wrecked that many times .... Everything on paper works out, but you never know until you get to the race track."

"We're trying to redo what we bad last year," said Busch. "Have some consistency, a little bit more consis~ Ieney. Try to win a few more races throughout the year instead of just one. "Another big thing is make the Chase, which we did, but do better within the Chase once we get in it If a guy wins three or four Chase races, it's going to be tough to beat that guy. .. .

NASCAR 's first champion, Red Byron , was a disabled IJeteran of World War II.

B•Jsch still awaits the first victory of 2007, but he bas plenty of lime. It's early in the season, and he won't turn 22 until May 2. Given his age and obvious skill, the future holds almost limitless potential. It's an exciting time to be a NASCAR driver, said Busch, noting the many changes taking place this year. "Toyota and what they'll do. Juan (Pablo Montoya) and how well he'll do. It's an extraordinarily different year, but it's not going to be too much different in terms of challenges," said Busch. "It couldn't get any more challenging than what this sport already is." The next big change ·hils the track this week when 'the Car of Tomorrow debuts at Bristol Motor Speedway. As a driver. Busch said it's no big deal. "It's more teams adjusting to it than drivers," he said. "There's definitely a lot of technique involved in how to set it up, definitely more technique than what's involved in how to race the thing. "There are still a lot of unknowns with the car.

With the trend towarddecomtingoutrl9orlivingspaces,itonly makes sense that the same should apply. Twenty-ftrst centwy technology ha~ introduced to rugs constructions and designs that make them not only beautiful but also weather resistant and built for outdoor use. INNOVATION. For over 4,(XX) years rugs hav~:: been in existence and have adorned the interior spaces of caravans to castles, casballs to colonials. Adaptations have been made tluoogh the centuries to the basic rug and its uses, but one area has always been overlooked or treated with little design sense - the outdoor spaces. Previously, the thought of indoor/outdoor rugs brought to mind visions of astro-turf or malted golf carpet to be applied to outdoor surf<¥:es;. but hopefully never to come in contact with anything but the bottom.~ of ones' shoes. "Ille old indoor/outdoor concept has been revolutionized with the introduction of synthetic yams such a~ DumCord®, with outdoor durability or perfonmmce yam and the hand or feel of <.'Olton-like softness," states Laurie Rudd.creativedirector for DuraCord® Outdoor Rugs. 'This dumbility is coupled with custom desigm; to accommodate lounging even on outdoor floor surfaces," continues Rudd. Spntwling on the floor ha~ always been the most comfy "seat" in.'\ide the house. Now this option is available for outdoor rooms. From sunroorn.~ to decks to patios, rugs are being designed to provide comfort and beauty of design while boa<;ting weather resistance and fade resistance. Outdoor surfal-es. previously cold or hard now can be dressed to complete an inviting alfresco entertainment area. VARIETY. Outdoor rugs are a popular offering today for catalog retailers or specialty patio shops. Some designs are popping upinrilass retailersalike.Avast array of styles for outdoor decornting has been designed to complement and l.:oordinate with the long-lasting outdoor fabrics used in everything from furniture cushion.<; to hammocks. 1be same color trends used today in interiors including palettes of neutml taupe to brights woven into intricate tape:sll)' designs can be found in these dur.ilile tloor coverings. "There seem~ to be no limit to what can be possible designwise," states JR ltlletier, manager of internet retailer. OutdoorRugOnly.wm. These outdoor rugs also come ina vruietyofsizes from as small as4' x 6'toas large as 8' x 10'. Round styles are available for complementing an outdoor dining set. CONSTRUCTION AND CLEANING. Just as in any home prodUct~. differences in constructions for outdoor product~ can provide varied benefits and ultimately varied pricing.

With the trend towarddecomtingoutrl9orlivingspaces,itonly makes sense that the same should apply. Twenty-ftrst centwy technology ha~ introduced to rugs constructions and designs that make them not only beautiful but also weather resistant and built for outdoor use. INNOVATION. For over 4,(XX) years rugs hav~:: been in existence and have adorned the interior spaces of caravans to castles, casballs to colonials. Adaptations have been made tluoogh the centuries to the basic rug and its uses, but one area has always been overlooked or treated with little design sense - the outdoor spaces. Previously, the thought of indoor/outdoor rugs brought to mind visions of astro-turf or malted golf carpet to be applied to outdoor surf<¥:es;. but hopefully never to come in contact with anything but the bottom.~ of ones' shoes. "Ille old indoor/outdoor concept has been revolutionized with the introduction of synthetic yams such a~ DumCord®, with outdoor durability or perfonmmce yam and the hand or feel of <.'Olton-like softness," states Laurie Rudd.creativedirector for DuraCord® Outdoor Rugs. 'This dumbility is coupled with custom desigm; to accommodate lounging even on outdoor floor surfaces," continues Rudd. Spntwling on the floor ha~ always been the most comfy "seat" in.'\ide the house. Now this option is available for outdoor rooms. From sunroorn.~ to decks to patios, rugs are being designed to provide comfort and beauty of design while boa<;ting weather resistance and fade resistance. Outdoor surfal-es. previously cold or hard now can be dressed to complete an inviting alfresco entertainment area. VARIETY. Outdoor rugs are a popular offering today for catalog retailers or specialty patio shops. Some designs are popping upinrilass retailersalike.Avast array of styles for outdoor decornting has been designed to complement and l.:oordinate with the long-lasting outdoor fabrics used in everything from furniture cushion.<; to hammocks. 1be same color trends used today in interiors including palettes of neutml taupe to brights woven into intricate tape:sll)' designs can be found in these dur.ilile tloor coverings. "There seem~ to be no limit to what can be possible designwise," states JR ltlletier, manager of internet retailer. OutdoorRugOnly.wm. These outdoor rugs also come ina vruietyofsizes from as small as4' x 6'toas large as 8' x 10'. Round styles are available for complementing an outdoor dining set. CONSTRUCTION AND CLEANING.

Accurately or not, O'Keeffe said, minimalism to the general public "is still a strong indicator of someone's personality.

Because of its ve r~a­ tility. where large madinery i~ concerned , a table saw is one of the most coveted pieces of equipment. The saw consists of a circular blade mounted from under a table . Using a fence and saw's table top, pie~:es of wood can be dimensioned in width by feeding the wood through the blade . Using the saw's miter gauge and corresponding slots in the table top surface, wood can be cut to length in a 90 degree cross ~:utting operation. Miter gauges, depending on the angle setting of the gauge, offer tht: added benefit of cross cuts, like a 45-degree angle that would be used to build a picture frame. A "contractor" style table saw is often the saw of choice for do-it-yourselfers, while a "cabinet" style saw is for the professional or serious woodworker. Jet General International, and Powermatic all offer a full line of quality made tables saws. Examples of table saws include the Jet JTAS 1O-XL50,Generallnternational Model 50-220C Ml, Powermatic 2000.

Router: While routers are most often used for quick and easy ·cutting of del·orativ~ edges on wooden surfaces, their use actually extends far beyond this . When used with accessory bushings or handmade templates. the router ran used to duplicate patterns , cut signs, or create dovetails . Plunge routers provide th~ added capability of "plunging" a bit into the wood surface, to create a precisely machined hole in the wood. The router can become a stationary tool when combined with a table and fence system.

Because of its ve r~a­ tility. where large madinery i~ concerned , a table saw is one of the most coveted pieces of equipment. The saw consists of a circular blade mounted from under a table . Using a fence and saw's table top, pie~:es of wood can be dimensioned in width by feeding the wood through the blade . Using the saw's miter gauge and corresponding slots in the table top surface, wood can be cut to length in a 90 degree cross ~:utting operation. Miter gauges, depending on the angle setting of the gauge, offer tht: added benefit of cross cuts, like a 45-degree angle that would be used to build a picture frame. A "contractor" style table saw is often the saw of choice for do-it-yourselfers, while a "cabinet" style saw is for the professional or serious woodworker. Jet General International, and Powermatic all offer a full line of quality made tables saws. Examples of table saws include the Jet JTAS 1O-XL50,Generallnternational Model 50-220C Ml, Powermatic 2000.

When used with accessory bushings or handmade templates. the router ran used to duplicate patterns , cut signs, or create dovetails .

National homebuilders lag in bringing green construction home BY VINfiEE TONI AP BUSINESS WRITER NEW YORK - Green building as a cause has united disparate parties from environmental groups to big business to policymakers, but one key industry has struggled to react to the change in public sentiment. The major homebuilders, who account for 80 percent of all homebuilding activity in the nation, face a unique challenge in implementing green building on a widespread scale. Many have added energy-saving features and experimented with . environmentally friendly materials but have not ret been able to sign on a critical mass of buyers willing to pay more for them. The National Association of Home Builders and McGrawHill Construction predict a rise in green building to 10 percent of homes by 2010 from 2 percent today, but experts say the large-scale residential builders have been slower to respond because of the extra costs and availability of materials. "The residential market as 1 see it is the last one to take off," said Mary Ann Lazarus, sustainable design director of the architectural fmn HOK. Homebuilders are crucial to reducing greenhouse gas emissions believed to caiase global warming , according to Ed Mazria, founder of environgroup mental activist Architecture 2030. He estimates · that buildings - their construction and operation contribute 48 ~rcent of overall emissions while transportation adds 27 percent .and industrial activity 25 percent. Certainly, there has been frustration among some of the largest homebuilders about fmding the right cost formula. Estimates vary widely for how much green building can add to, the fmal price, with the lower estimates at 3 percent to 5 percent versus higher predictions of 10 percent to 15 percent. Ara Hovnanian, head of one of the nation's biggest ~­ builders, said that all othq;, things being equal, consumer~ would choose green. But, he said, all is not equal. "Consumers have 001: been willing to make the investment ," said the CEO and president of Hovnanian Enterprises Inc. Hovnanian was one of 10 homebuilders that developed an all-green community called Terrarnor in Orange County, south of Los Angeles . He said the results of that venture were frustrating; consumers were unwilling to pay extra for green features such as solar panels to generate electricity. "The disappointing thing is we were all hoping consumers would embrace it and at least be willing to pay a substantial part of the premium," he said. "I can't say we were overwhelmed by the results financially." Recouping that premium is more of a problem for developers who build properties for sate, as opposed to those who can benefit later from lower electricity bills or being able to charge higher rents. Investing in green features ultimately benefits the home buyer, so if the consumer is unwilling to pay more, the cost-benefit formula makes no sense, in Hovnanian's view. Bill Valentine , chairman of architecture firm HOK, said the main goal for architects who support green building is to get sustainability into the common man's budget. "The real action is in suburbia, in reconstructing suburbia," he said. Mazria of Architecture 2030 and others say that's about to happen. " I think we' re just seeing the beginning of a total transformation of the building sector," Mazria said. Mazria said a number of different parties are working on proposals to extend the tax benefits in the Energy Policy Act of 2005 that could encourage growth in green building. He said two New Mexico Democrats, Rep. Tom Udall and Sen. Jeff Bingat:nlm, are working on one version that could extend the act to 20 13, and in some cases double the level of tax credits allowed for energr-saving measures such as usmg solar or photovoltaic panels. "It is a very small price to pay for mitigating the potential impact of climate change ," Mazria said. To date, II federal agencies, 17 states and 53 municipalities require buildings to meet either local green standards or those set by the U.S, Green Building Council, a nonprofit group. · Among the early adopters are two smaller homebuilders, Los Angeles-based Pardee Homes and Florida-based WCI Communities Inc. While they are much smaller than homebuilders like Hovnanian , KB Home and others, they also build mainly where consumers have been more receptive to green building practices. Pardee marketing Vice President Joyce Mason said one-third of about 10,000 homes it has built since 200 I are in its Living Smart line of homes, which come with carpet made from (ecycled soda bottles and wood from managed forests. She said consumers had always appreciated the green features, but buyers have started specifically asking for them in recent months . "We saw it first happen m hybrid cars," Mason said . "I think it's probably going to shift over to houses ." Karen Childress, environmental stewardship manager for WCI , said it first built a green home prototype in 200 I to explore energy efficiency and has experimented with a grow ing list of features since then . Its latest project is working with the Florida Solar Energy Center to design a home that generates enough of its own energy to be self-sustaining __:. the holy grail of green building . Researchers are developing energy-saving methods to move toward tltat ideal. James Sweeney, director of the Precourt Institute on Energy Efficiency at Stanford University, is organizing a research effort to develop strategies that could be used in the home, such as ways to encourage consumers to use less energy at peak times and building design changes, The research ultimately will include ways of encouraging changes in behavior that will save energy, said Sweeney. "There may be no silver bullet , but there may be some silver buckshot ," he said.

He chose a shower with the same principle in mind: one that frees him from a claustrophobic cubicle and lets him bathe under the stars . "You just can't beat standing outdoors and looking up at the sky," said Raker, 48 , whose whole family prefers the shower that was installed a few years ago outside their Plainfield, Vt., home to the one indoors. "I'm looking up at the stars, feeling the cool air ... it's a wonderful experience ." Outdoor showers for rinsing off by the pool, beach or hot tub are nothing new. They're often spartan affairs, with a shower riser, metal or plastic fittings, faucets and a basic drain . But there are luxurious outdoor showers too. Architect Koray Duman designed one on a Manhattan rooftop for a client who wanted to be able to feel the air when he bathed. Because the pipes might freeze in the winter, Duman's client - like Raker - has to turn the shower off for part of the year. But for the rest of the time, "it's a great experience; it's very different from being inside," said Duman. Showers are fairly simple things.

National homebuilders lag in bringing green construction home BY VINfiEE TONI AP BUSINESS WRITER NEW YORK - Green building as a cause has united disparate parties from environmental groups to big business to policymakers, but one key industry has struggled to react to the change in public sentiment. The major homebuilders, who account for 80 percent of all homebuilding activity in the nation, face a unique challenge in implementing green building on a widespread scale. Many have added energy-saving features and experimented with . environmentally friendly materials but have not ret been able to sign on a critical mass of buyers willing to pay more for them. The National Association of Home Builders and McGrawHill Construction predict a rise in green building to 10 percent of homes by 2010 from 2 percent today, but experts say the large-scale residential builders have been slower to respond because of the extra costs and availability of materials. "The residential market as 1 see it is the last one to take off," said Mary Ann Lazarus, sustainable design director of the architectural fmn HOK. Homebuilders are crucial to reducing greenhouse gas emissions believed to caiase global warming , according to Ed Mazria, founder of environgroup mental activist Architecture 2030. He estimates · that buildings - their construction and operation contribute 48 ~rcent of overall emissions while transportation adds 27 percent .and industrial activity 25 percent. Certainly, there has been frustration among some of the largest homebuilders about fmding the right cost formula. Estimates vary widely for how much green building can add to, the fmal price, with the lower estimates at 3 percent to 5 percent versus higher predictions of 10 percent to 15 percent. Ara Hovnanian, head of one of the nation's biggest ~­ builders, said that all othq;, things being equal, consumer~ would choose green. But, he said, all is not equal. "Consumers have 001: been willing to make the investment ," said the CEO and president of Hovnanian Enterprises Inc. Hovnanian was one of 10 homebuilders that developed an all-green community called Terrarnor in Orange County, south of Los Angeles . He said the results of that venture were frustrating; consumers were unwilling to pay extra for green features such as solar panels to generate electricity. "The disappointing thing is we were all hoping consumers would embrace it and at least be willing to pay a substantial part of the premium," he said. "I can't say we were overwhelmed by the results financially." Recouping that premium is more of a problem for developers who build properties for sate, as opposed to those who can benefit later from lower electricity bills or being able to charge higher rents. Investing in green features ultimately benefits the home buyer, so if the consumer is unwilling to pay more, the cost-benefit formula makes no sense, in Hovnanian's view. Bill Valentine , chairman of architecture firm HOK, said the main goal for architects who support green building is to get sustainability into the common man's budget. "The real action is in suburbia, in reconstructing suburbia," he said. Mazria of Architecture 2030 and others say that's about to happen. " I think we' re just seeing the beginning of a total transformation of the building sector," Mazria said. Mazria said a number of different parties are working on proposals to extend the tax benefits in the Energy Policy Act of 2005 that could encourage growth in green building. He said two New Mexico Democrats, Rep. Tom Udall and Sen. Jeff Bingat:nlm, are working on one version that could extend the act to 20 13, and in some cases double the level of tax credits allowed for energr-saving measures such as usmg solar or photovoltaic panels. "It is a very small price to pay for mitigating the potential impact of climate change ," Mazria said. To date, II federal agencies, 17 states and 53 municipalities require buildings to meet either local green standards or those set by the U.S, Green Building Council, a nonprofit group. · Among the early adopters are two smaller homebuilders, Los Angeles-based Pardee Homes and Florida-based WCI Communities Inc. While they are much smaller than homebuilders like Hovnanian , KB Home and others, they also build mainly where consumers have been more receptive to green building practices. Pardee marketing Vice President Joyce Mason said one-third of about 10,000 homes it has built since 200 I are in its Living Smart line of homes, which come with carpet made from (ecycled soda bottles and wood from managed forests. She said consumers had always appreciated the green features, but buyers have started specifically asking for them in recent months . "We saw it first happen m hybrid cars," Mason said . "I think it's probably going to shift over to houses ." Karen Childress, environmental stewardship manager for WCI , said it first built a green home prototype in 200 I to explore energy efficiency and has experimented with a grow ing list of features since then . Its latest project is working with the Florida Solar Energy Center to design a home that generates enough of its own energy to be self-sustaining __:. the holy grail of green building . Researchers are developing energy-saving methods to move toward tltat ideal. James Sweeney, director of the Precourt Institute on Energy Efficiency at Stanford University, is organizing a research effort to develop strategies that could be used in the home, such as ways to encourage consumers to use less energy at peak times and building design changes, The research ultimately will include ways of encouraging changes in behavior that will save energy, said Sweeney. "There may be no silver bullet , but there may be some silver buckshot ," he said.

Friday, March 23,2007 Spring Home Improvement --1118 ·- IY ANNI WAU.ACI A l l ' " FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS As an energy consultant to fanners, Mike Raker works outside, unfettered by a desk and office walls. He chose a shower with the same principle in mind: one that frees him from a claustrophobic cubicle and lets him bathe under the stars . "You just can't beat standing outdoors and looking up at the sky," said Raker, 48 , whose whole family prefers the shower that was installed a few years ago outside their Plainfield, Vt., home to the one indoors. "I'm looking up at the stars, feeling the cool air ... it's a wonderful experience ." Outdoor showers for rinsing off by the pool, beach or hot tub are nothing new. They're often spartan affairs, with a shower riser, metal or plastic fittings, faucets and a basic drain . But there are luxurious outdoor showers too. Architect Koray Duman designed one on a Manhattan rooftop for a client who wanted to be able to feel the air when he bathed. Because the pipes might freeze in the winter, Duman's client - like Raker - has to turn the shower off for part of the year. But for the rest of the time, "it's a great experience; it's very different from being inside," said Duman. Showers are fairly simple things. Boise, Idaho, contractor Rory Hammersmark installs them all the time. To keep pipes better insulated , he prefers putting a shower on the side of ~house rather than in a separate GRIFFITH ROOFING MORE THAN 2000 WALLPAPER BORDER ..... ·1 4412831 .... 7 • ....._ SISV....a "" 245-5373 just inside Wai-Mort 441-3575 -- ....... n .. c • (Jur store stoc{(ed with new fines of accessories, oiJts, crafts & more! .. just inside Sov&-A-Lot 446-2188 992-2357 .. <:andles • Outhouse. shower curttJins & tJll the accessories • Hearts & Stars curttJills a11d all the accessories.

Sometimes, though, you just have to let go: when your shelves are overflowing, when you're making room for a new baby, when you're moving from a house to an apartment, or when a family member has died. Tbe question is whether the books that have sentimental value for you, and that you have schlepped around the country for years, are worth anything to anyone else . "I say put it in the garbage and people get very offended," said Fred Bass, who,as owner of the Strand bookstore in Manhattan, makes house calls to evaluate large collections. "A lot of people want their -books recycled: They want other people to read them. They want to get them into a good home." And if they can do so and still make a little money. all the better. The easjest way to find out whether your books are worth any.thing is to c~eck prices at onhne book-sellmg sttes like Alibris, Abebooks, Amazon or Half.com, whj~h is owned by eBay. Or you could put them out on a table at a yard sale. or take them to a used bOOkstore. You might discover, though, that the book for which you paid $25 will fetch just $2. "Half the people are djsappointed they're ooa getting more money;," said Sara Theriault, founder and manager of Lorem lpsum Books, a used bookstore in Cambridge, Mass.

It was parting with her books that proved to be painful, if not impossible. "I think for a lot of people, books are just really different from anything else," , the Portland. Ore .• education professor said. "They're really hard to let go of." Sometimes, though, you just have to let go: when your shelves are overflowing, when you're making room for a new baby, when you're moving from a house to an apartment, or when a family member has died. Tbe question is whether the books that have sentimental value for you, and that you have schlepped around the country for years, are worth anything to anyone else . "I say put it in the garbage and people get very offended," said Fred Bass, who,as owner of the Strand bookstore in Manhattan, makes house calls to evaluate large collections. "A lot of people want their -books recycled: They want other people to read them. They want to get them into a good home." And if they can do so and still make a little money. all the better. The easjest way to find out whether your books are worth any.thing is to c~eck prices at onhne book-sellmg sttes like Alibris, Abebooks, Amazon or Half.com, whj~h is owned by eBay. Or you could put them out on a table at a yard sale. or take them to a used bOOkstore. You might discover, though, that the book for which you paid $25 will fetch just $2. "Half the people are djsappointed they're ooa getting more money;," said Sara Theriault, founder and manager of Lorem lpsum Books, a used bookstore in Cambridge, Mass. "The other half are genuinely happy to get them back in circulation."

Tobin works with scholars and serious collectors wllose books and research materials are sought by research libraries. But very few people are likely to have such collections. Far greater numbers simply want to know whether anyone is interested in their 2003 National Geographic collection, their summer reading for the past six years or their old textbooks. The answer is yes - and no.
