The problem is. Mom doesn't have good jud~ment when it comes to pickmg men. Both ol her ex-husbands were abusive. Kirby is loud, arrogant, embarrassing, puts her down, has a joke about everything and always thmks he's funny when he is only annoying. And he is shady. This guy has children we never hear about and with whom he doesn't spend any time. He says he was in the Navy, but can' t tell you much about that , either. He is now trying to get my mother to move to another state and" retire. Mom just thinks Kirby is so funny and a great ~uy to be around. My sister-m-law found out he was physically abusive to his first wife. Should we tell our mother what we found out or just let her see for herself.' - Not Sure in Nebraska Dear Nebraska: You should tell Mom what you know. but don't expect it to change anything. Mom has a pattern of being attracted to abusive losers. She could benefit from some counsel- ing to learn why she thinks so little of herself, but she may no1 be willing to do so. Do tell her that you love her and care about her welfare, and that you worry. Kirby's desire to move to another state is a common way for abusers to isolate their victims from family and friends . You can't force Mom to make better choices, but we hope you will keep an eye on her a~ best you can. You can get more information through the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800- 799-SAFE ( 1-800-799-7233). Dear Annie: Today my wife ·and I went to our favorite coffee shop for brunch. As we were eating, a couple and their baby sat at the table neJI:t to us. The father proceeded to plop his diapered child on the tabletop. I was a bit disgusted, but did not say anything . My intent was to tell one of the staff to be sure and sanitize that table after the couple left, but they had gotten quite busy and no one was available. This is not a place where the tables are wiped down after every customer. It occurred to me -- what if someone had done the same thing at our table before we arrived'' The thought nearly caused me to lose my lunch. Would you please remind parents that setting a diapered child on a public eating surface is a great way to spread di-sease and also gross out the other customers? What are people thinking'1 - Lost Appetite in Lincoln, Neb. Dear Lincoln: A child with a dirty diaper should not be sitting on a table where food is served, but if the diaper is clean , it's certainly no worse than eating at a table that has been used repeatedly by different customers without being cleaned. In informal eateries such as this, it is wise to wipe the table before you sit down. Suggest to the manager that paper towels or sanitized wipes be made available to customers who want them, or bring your own . Dear Annie: My husband works with a man who. through the years, has said 10 or IS times, ''We're going to have you' up to our mo untain cottage." He never has . I have a friend whom I have invited to my home several times, who says repeatedly. "I'm going to call you soon and take you out to lunch ." Hasn 't happened. We have a couple of frienlls whom we have invited to several parties, who have said dozens of times. "We're going to have you over soon." Not so far. I'm tired of sayi ng, ''That sounds great'" What shou ld I say instead?- Puzzled in North Carolina Dear Puzzled: You o.:ould put them on the spot by pulling out your calendar and saying, "Wonderful' When should I pencil it in ''" Otherwise. use your current re sponse, but with less enthusiasm.

The problem is. Mom doesn't have good jud~ment when it comes to pickmg men. Both ol her ex-husbands were abusive. Kirby is loud, arrogant, embarrassing, puts her down, has a joke about everything and always thmks he's funny when he is only annoying. And he is shady. This guy has children we never hear about and with whom he doesn't spend any time. He says he was in the Navy, but can' t tell you much about that , either. He is now trying to get my mother to move to another state and" retire. Mom just thinks Kirby is so funny and a great ~uy to be around. My sister-m-law found out he was physically abusive to his first wife. Should we tell our mother what we found out or just let her see for herself.' - Not Sure in Nebraska Dear Nebraska: You should tell Mom what you know. but don't expect it to change anything. Mom has a pattern of being attracted to abusive losers. She could benefit from some counsel- ing to learn why she thinks so little of herself, but she may no1 be willing to do so. Do tell her that you love her and care about her welfare, and that you worry. Kirby's desire to move to another state is a common way for abusers to isolate their victims from family and friends . You can't force Mom to make better choices, but we hope you will keep an eye on her a~ best you can. You can get more information through the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800- 799-SAFE ( 1-800-799-7233). Dear Annie: Today my wife ·and I went to our favorite coffee shop for brunch. As we were eating, a couple and their baby sat at the table neJI:t to us. The father proceeded to plop his diapered child on the tabletop. I was a bit disgusted, but did not say anything . My intent was to tell one of the staff to be sure and sanitize that table after the couple left, but they had gotten quite busy and no one was available. This is not a place where the tables are wiped down after every customer. It occurred to me -- what if someone had done the same thing at our table before we arrived'' The thought nearly caused me to lose my lunch. Would you please remind parents that setting a diapered child on a public eating surface is a great way to spread di-sease and also gross out the other customers? What are people thinking'1 - Lost Appetite in Lincoln, Neb. Dear Lincoln: A child with a dirty diaper should not be sitting on a table where food is served, but if the diaper is clean , it's certainly no worse than eating at a table that has been used repeatedly by different customers without being cleaned. In informal eateries such as this, it is wise to wipe the table before you sit down. Suggest to the manager that paper towels or sanitized wipes be made available to customers who want them, or bring your own . Dear Annie: My husband works with a man who. through the years, has said 10 or IS times, ''We're going to have you' up to our mo untain cottage." He never has . I have a friend whom I have invited to my home several times, who says repeatedly. "I'm going to call you soon and take you out to lunch ." Hasn 't happened. We have a couple of frienlls whom we have invited to several parties, who have said dozens of times. "We're going to have you over soon." Not so far. I'm tired of sayi ng, ''That sounds great'" What shou ld I say instead?- Puzzled in North Carolina Dear Puzzled: You o.:ould put them on the spot by pulling out your calendar and saying, "Wonderful' When should I pencil it in ''" Otherwise. use your current re sponse, but with less enthusiasm.

'214.21 Sunday, March 25,2007 High on compassion It seemed like a good idea at the time, the Compassionate Use Act of 1996, which allowed Californians to use marijuana with a doctor 's permission to alleviate pain. The act was put on the ballot, and California voters passed it 56 to 44 ·percent. The biggest bankroller of the referendum was George Soros, the secular-progressive billionaire who champions drug legalization. He pumped about $350,000 into pro-medpot ads, according to published reports. Since tbe act was passed into law, thousands of pot "clinics" have opened across the Golden State. In S~ Francisco. things got so out of control that Mayor Gavin Newsom. a very liberal guy, had to close many of the "clinics" because drug addicts were clustering around them. causing fear among city residents. Bill O'Reilly In San Diego. there's another problem . Some high sc hool kid s have found a loophole in the Compassion Act. Incredibly, there is no age requirement to secure medical marijuana in California and no physical examination needed either. So some kids tell a doctor they have a headache. pay him $150 for a card, and then buy all the pol they want. Unbelievable, but true. Catherine Martin, a sc hool official in San Diego, actually sent letters pare nts in the to Grossmont Union School District warning that some students are getting the medical marijuana cards and then selling them to other students. The result : an increasing number of kid s arriving at sc hool stoned. Ms. Martin warned parents to supervise their children. San Diego District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis told me that some "clinics" are even marketing medical marijuana under names like ''Reefer's Peanut Butter Cup." and " Baby Jane ." Cheech and Chong would be proud. Now. I'm sure George Soros doesn' t give a hoot about thi s, but the unintended consequ ence of non-presc ription medical marijuana legalization is that some kids are making an industry out of it. Sure. pot is available illegally in most places. but now children have a legal option. Why work at Burger King when you can sell pot cards'' Of course, there is nothing "compassionate" about kids being intoxicated. It • cha nges them forever. Once a child alters himself with chemicals. childhood vanishes. A national study by the Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse says more teenagers are in rehab for marijuana than any other intoxicant. including alcohol. Society needs to rethink its strategy on intoxicants in general. If marij uana can help those suffering with debilitating diseases, then doctors should have the power to prescribe it and licensed pharmacies should carry it. But storefront "clinics" run by irresponsible adults who are aided by corrupt doctors are a joke only a confirmed stoner would find funny. Bottom line: Be careful what you vote for. Compassion can easily tum into chaos. HE LEARNED ANEW ·TRICK ...

'214.21 Sunday, March 25,2007 High on compassion It seemed like a good idea at the time, the Compassionate Use Act of 1996, which allowed Californians to use marijuana with a doctor 's permission to alleviate pain. The act was put on the ballot, and California voters passed it 56 to 44 ·percent. The biggest bankroller of the referendum was George Soros, the secular-progressive billionaire who champions drug legalization. He pumped about $350,000 into pro-medpot ads, according to published reports. Since tbe act was passed into law, thousands of pot "clinics" have opened across the Golden State. In S~ Francisco. things got so out of control that Mayor Gavin Newsom. a very liberal guy, had to close many of the "clinics" because drug addicts were clustering around them. causing fear among city residents. Bill O'Reilly In San Diego. there's another problem . Some high sc hool kid s have found a loophole in the Compassion Act. Incredibly, there is no age requirement to secure medical marijuana in California and no physical examination needed either. So some kids tell a doctor they have a headache. pay him $150 for a card, and then buy all the pol they want. Unbelievable, but true. Catherine Martin, a sc hool official in San Diego, actually sent letters pare nts in the to Grossmont Union School District warning that some students are getting the medical marijuana cards and then selling them to other students. The result : an increasing number of kid s arriving at sc hool stoned. Ms. Martin warned parents to supervise their children. San Diego District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis told me that some "clinics" are even marketing medical marijuana under names like ''Reefer's Peanut Butter Cup." and " Baby Jane ." Cheech and Chong would be proud. Now. I'm sure George Soros doesn' t give a hoot about thi s, but the unintended consequ ence of non-presc ription medical marijuana legalization is that some kids are making an industry out of it. Sure. pot is available illegally in most places. but now children have a legal option. Why work at Burger King when you can sell pot cards'' Of course, there is nothing "compassionate" about kids being intoxicated. It • cha nges them forever. Once a child alters himself with chemicals. childhood vanishes. A national study by the Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse says more teenagers are in rehab for marijuana than any other intoxicant. including alcohol. Society needs to rethink its strategy on intoxicants in general. If marij uana can help those suffering with debilitating diseases, then doctors should have the power to prescribe it and licensed pharmacies should carry it. But storefront "clinics" run by irresponsible adults who are aided by corrupt doctors are a joke only a confirmed stoner would find funny. Bottom line: Be careful what you vote for. Compassion can easily tum into chaos. HE LEARNED ANEW ·TRICK ...

Collins However, Nugent · struck down a portion of the law that places a 3()().cfoot, "floating buffer zone" around funeral procession routes, saying it is unconstitutionally broad;· · Supporters of the law called the ruling a victory. "The families and loved ones of our honorable service men and women have earned the right to pay their last respects in peace and security," said Gov. Ted Strickland, a Democrat who took office in January. At least 27 states have enacted laws restricting funeral picketin~. accord- ing to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Messages seeking comment were left Friday night with the Ohio ACLU. and calls went unanswered at the Westboro Baptist Church. The church has argued that the protests are a form of religious expression and that mourners can avert their eyes from unwanted forms of speech. Some of the members have held signs reading "God Hates Fags" and "God Made IEDs," a reference to roadside bombs. In his ruling, Judge Nugent rejected the argu- · ment that funeral mourners · can easily look away.adding that the state may protect citizens from · unwelcome or offensive forms of communication · when privacy interests are · invaded. Church members planned to picket the funeral of Army Sgt. Robert Carr in Warren, Ohio, on Monday. according to the church's Web site.

Similarly, Wai-Mart Stores · Inc .. the Bentonville. Ark .-based world's largest retailer, has touted itself as helpin g working families save thousands by offering low prices and providing jobs. The UAW is still pushing to organize workers at the foreign automakers. and Wal-Mart remains under tire by union groups who criti- cize the retailer for low wages and benefits and would like to organize its workers. Critics of unions say Americans by the millions vote with their pocketbooks by buying Japanese cars and shopping Wai-Mart. But experts on labor say there are many Americans who view labor favorably, even though they don't belong to unions, adding potential for growth. Spotty health care protection and crumbling pensions are concerns for many Americans and issues that labor frequently cites as proof of the continuing need for unions. Some union leaders say they offer comJl3nies dedicated. skilled workers, and are adjustin~ to today's realities by agreemg to flexible work rules and other measures to cut costs and increase productivity. JACKSON ~ Two years after losing fiery coach Dustin Ford, who took an assistant job in the college ranks, Jackson High School is once again searching for a new boys basketball boss. Todd May, a former assistant who took over for the popular Ford, resigned this past week after going 20-23 during his reign, including a 7-14 campaign this past season. The lronmen finished just 3-9 in the Southeastern Ohio Athletic League and lost in the first round of the sectional tournament.

KINGSTON , Jamaica (AP} - The international governing body of cricket said Friday it would investigate whether match-filling was a motive for the' slaying of Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer, who· was strangled after his team was upset by Ireland. Deputy Police Commissioner Mark police Shields said believed more than one person may have killed Woolmer, 58, in his 12thfloor hotel room Sunday. His team's humiliating defeat Saturday assured Pakistan's elimination from the Cricket World Cup. . After days of speculation that Woolmer may have died of natural causes or even committed suicide, Police Commissioner Lucius Thomas conftrmed Thursday evening that the pathologist bad declared the cause of death as "asphyxia as a result of .manual strangulation." PageBs NASCAR 25.2007 Bay, on the western side of the island, after being interviewed and fingerprinted by police. Shields said the team would be allowed to leave the country as scheduled Saturday. Separately, the Cricket International Council's anti-corruption unit will investigate if match-fixing had a role in Woolmer's death, council chief ellecutive Malcolm Speed said. "Our people from the anti-corruption and security unit will cooperate with the Jamaica police. they're them working with already," Speed told Britain's Sky TV. "If there is a link we want to know about it and we will 'deal with it." Woolmer was South Africa's coach in the 1990s when the team's captain. tfansie Crooje, admitted taking money to fill matches and was banned from cricket for life. Woolmer was never implicated. His family said it was unaware of any death threats against him or any involvement in match-fix ing . "To the best of the family's knowledge , there is absolutely nothing to suggest Bob was involved in match-fixing," his agent, Cohen, said Michael Friday, reading a statement outside the Woolmer family home near Cape Town, South Africa. He was flanked by Woolmer' s widow, Gill, and their sons, Dale and Russell. The coach was last seen going to his room Saturday night after the Pakistan team, normally a world powerhouse. was upset by underdog Ireland in the first round of the World Cup. He was found by a maid the next day. laying half out of hi"s bathroom and dressed in bmer shorts . Otie witness reporting seeing blood and vomit splattered in · the room, but another said he saw vomit only in the toilet. Police have not released details about the crime scene. "Because Bob was a large man, it would have taken some significant force to subdue him, but of course at this stage we do not know how many people were in the room," Shields told reporters. "It could be one or more people involved in this murder." Whoever killed the affable coach gained access to his ,room without forcing the door open and attacked Woolmer without people in neighboring rooms noticing anything amiss. Access to guest floors is restricted at the hotel - a card key is required to operate the elevators. "We have some theories of what may have happened. but it's too early to go public with them.'" Shields said Friday on Jamaican radio. Former Pakistan fast bowler Sarfraz Nawaz has claimed that Woolmer, a former player for England, was killed because he was writing a book that would ellpose illegal gambling in cricket. But Woolmer's family denied that. "Contrary to, reports, we can confirm there is nothing in any book Bob has written that would ellplain this situation and there were no threats received," the family statemenl said. Pakistan team spokesman Pervez Jamil Mir said Woolmer was upset that galleys of his book had disappeared. " Bob told me the proofs had been misplaced and he was very disturbed." Mir said. "I don't know what was in the book but that was 'his only copy at "the time ." Jeff Gordon tests his car during practice for the NASCAR Nextel Cup Food City 500 in Bristol, Tenn. Friday..

Merrill Sherman • AP SOURCE : NASCAR NASCAR's Car of Tomorrow is here today Bv JENNA FRYER ASSOCIATED PRESS Tomorrow is finally here in NASCAR. which begins the most radiql on-track experiment in the sport's history this weekend at Bristol Motor Speedway. The Car of Tomorrow, a NASCAR-developed vehicle that spent seven years in development, will make its long-awaited debut at one of the most rough-and-tumble . tracks in NASCAR. Some like it, others loathe it. Either way, it's not going away any time soon. DQsigned to improve safety, reduce team costs and improve competition, the COT will race Sunday at Bristol in the first of 16 events this season.

He's certainly won his share of races - 25 of them - and most have come with a dominant car, finesse or strategy. · But finally winning a NASCAR Nextel Cup championship after coming close in three of his first five seasons in the premier stock car series apparently has given Johnson yet another gear he can reach f or. On S.unday . he overwhelmed the rest of the field in the first two-thirds of the Cup race at Atlanta Motor Speedway. several times building leads of more than 6 seconds - . a quarter . of the 1.5-mtle oval. But several cauuon flags slowed the. race, and Johnson found htmself commg off ptt road m th1rd dunng the last set of stops by the leaders: Ahead of htm were two other former Cup c~amp1ons, Matt Kenseth m second and Tony Stewart leadmg. Kenseth .kept getting super-last pit stops from his No. 17 Roush Fenway Racing crew that put him out front for a while . But he couldn't stay there. Stewart, on the other hand, looked just as strong as Johnson at times, partieularly at the end of the race. He charged to the front of the field after a bad pit stop knocked him from fourth to 13th just before the halfway point m the 325-lap race, and wound up leading 121 laps to Johnson 's 135. The final restart came II laps from the end and it took Johnson just three trips around the fast Atlanta oval to move past Kenseth into second. Stewart , a two' time Cup champion, is one of those guys who represents the racing cliche: You can catch him. but passing him is another thil)g. No . 4R Johnson 's Hendrick Motorsports machine got to the back bumper of Stewart's No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing entry on lap 320. He drew alongside Stewart twice on lap 321 before slipping back. Finally. on lap 322. Johnson made an · inside move and shot past. nowhere near as angry as he would have been if a lesser driver had cost him a win. "He had a faster car and he's probably going to get around us anyway," Stewart said, shrugging. "But I'd like to have seen him give me room to race him for it." Johnson began the season on a down note by crashing out in 39th at Daytona. That also ended his string of I 04 consecutive races in the top 10 in the season points, dating to the fourth race of 2004. But he came back to finish third the next week at California, won two weeks later at Las Vegas and. with his win in Atlanta. has now moved to fourth in the sea- son points. "Jimmie and I and the There's no give-up in team were all very proud of Stewart, who may be the · · hardest racer in NASCAR that streak of bemg in the since the late Dale top 10 in points for so Earnhardt.

That means the only initial changes fans might even notice on the COT are aesthetic - panicularly with the adjustable rear wing and front splitter. The flat spliller is located under the nose of the car and can be adjusted to change the front downforce . The rear wing, which replaces the spoiler and looks like what you'd see on a street car, can be altered to effect aerodynamics. Because both pieces are adjustable, NASCAR said teams will no longer have to build track-specific race cars because the COT can be tinkered with to go straight from a shon track to a superspeedway. The new car also makes several advancements in safety, with a larger driver's compartment, center-located seat and energy absorbing materials through the gut of the vehicle. "The most imponam thing month as the first real test for the COT. "On the short tracks, you will probably not see any change," Pemberton said. "''m pretty sure this weekend we'll see great racing at Bristol like you always do. It won ' t be until you get to Phoenix, Darlington and Dover, that's where you can stan to draw some comparison." Brandon Thomas, who helped develop the COT prototype while at Joe Gibbs Racing, believes NASCAR was sman to roll out the car at Bristol and Maninsville. "The first two races we're going ' to run are very, very low on the aerodynamic supremacy scale," said Thomas, crew chief for Tony Raines. "By rolling it out at the places they've decided to, you're going to see a minimal amount of impact when a crash happens and a splitter gets ripped off. You're looking at doing a significant amount of damage to your car, but not real- NEXIEI FeiiiCIIJIOO CliP Bristol, Tenn.

KINGSTON , Jamaica (AP} - The international governing body of cricket said Friday it would investigate whether match-filling was a motive for the' slaying of Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer, who· was strangled after his team was upset by Ireland. Deputy Police Commissioner Mark police Shields said believed more than one person may have killed Woolmer, 58, in his 12thfloor hotel room Sunday. His team's humiliating defeat Saturday assured Pakistan's elimination from the Cricket World Cup. . After days of speculation that Woolmer may have died of natural causes or even committed suicide, Police Commissioner Lucius Thomas conftrmed Thursday evening that the pathologist bad declared the cause of death as "asphyxia as a result of .manual strangulation." PageBs NASCAR 25.2007 Bay, on the western side of the island, after being interviewed and fingerprinted by police. Shields said the team would be allowed to leave the country as scheduled Saturday. Separately, the Cricket International Council's anti-corruption unit will investigate if match-fixing had a role in Woolmer's death, council chief ellecutive Malcolm Speed said. "Our people from the anti-corruption and security unit will cooperate with the Jamaica police. they're them working with already," Speed told Britain's Sky TV. "If there is a link we want to know about it and we will 'deal with it." Woolmer was South Africa's coach in the 1990s when the team's captain. tfansie Crooje, admitted taking money to fill matches and was banned from cricket for life. Woolmer was never implicated. His family said it was unaware of any death threats against him or any involvement in match-fix ing . "To the best of the family's knowledge , there is absolutely nothing to suggest Bob was involved in match-fixing," his agent, Cohen, said Michael Friday, reading a statement outside the Woolmer family home near Cape Town, South Africa. He was flanked by Woolmer' s widow, Gill, and their sons, Dale and Russell. The coach was last seen going to his room Saturday night after the Pakistan team, normally a world powerhouse. was upset by underdog Ireland in the first round of the World Cup. He was found by a maid the next day. laying half out of hi"s bathroom and dressed in bmer shorts . Otie witness reporting seeing blood and vomit splattered in · the room, but another said he saw vomit only in the toilet. Police have not released details about the crime scene. "Because Bob was a large man, it would have taken some significant force to subdue him, but of course at this stage we do not know how many people were in the room," Shields told reporters. "It could be one or more people involved in this murder." Whoever killed the affable coach gained access to his ,room without forcing the door open and attacked Woolmer without people in neighboring rooms noticing anything amiss. Access to guest floors is restricted at the hotel - a card key is required to operate the elevators. "We have some theories of what may have happened. but it's too early to go public with them.'" Shields said Friday on Jamaican radio. Former Pakistan fast bowler Sarfraz Nawaz has claimed that Woolmer, a former player for England, was killed because he was writing a book that would ellpose illegal gambling in cricket. But Woolmer's family denied that. "Contrary to, reports, we can confirm there is nothing in any book Bob has written that would ellplain this situation and there were no threats received," the family statemenl said. Pakistan team spokesman Pervez Jamil Mir said Woolmer was upset that galleys of his book had disappeared. " Bob told me the proofs had been misplaced and he was very disturbed." Mir said. "I don't know what was in the book but that was 'his only copy at "the time ." Jeff Gordon tests his car during practice for the NASCAR Nextel Cup Food City 500 in Bristol, Tenn. Friday..

Merrill Sherman • AP SOURCE : NASCAR NASCAR's Car of Tomorrow is here today Bv JENNA FRYER ASSOCIATED PRESS Tomorrow is finally here in NASCAR. which begins the most radiql on-track experiment in the sport's history this weekend at Bristol Motor Speedway. The Car of Tomorrow, a NASCAR-developed vehicle that spent seven years in development, will make its long-awaited debut at one of the most rough-and-tumble . tracks in NASCAR. Some like it, others loathe it. Either way, it's not going away any time soon. DQsigned to improve safety, reduce team costs and improve competition, the COT will race Sunday at Bristol in the first of 16 events this season.

He's certainly won his share of races - 25 of them - and most have come with a dominant car, finesse or strategy. · But finally winning a NASCAR Nextel Cup championship after coming close in three of his first five seasons in the premier stock car series apparently has given Johnson yet another gear he can reach f or. On S.unday . he overwhelmed the rest of the field in the first two-thirds of the Cup race at Atlanta Motor Speedway. several times building leads of more than 6 seconds - . a quarter . of the 1.5-mtle oval. But several cauuon flags slowed the. race, and Johnson found htmself commg off ptt road m th1rd dunng the last set of stops by the leaders: Ahead of htm were two other former Cup c~amp1ons, Matt Kenseth m second and Tony Stewart leadmg. Kenseth .kept getting super-last pit stops from his No. 17 Roush Fenway Racing crew that put him out front for a while . But he couldn't stay there. Stewart, on the other hand, looked just as strong as Johnson at times, partieularly at the end of the race. He charged to the front of the field after a bad pit stop knocked him from fourth to 13th just before the halfway point m the 325-lap race, and wound up leading 121 laps to Johnson 's 135. The final restart came II laps from the end and it took Johnson just three trips around the fast Atlanta oval to move past Kenseth into second. Stewart , a two' time Cup champion, is one of those guys who represents the racing cliche: You can catch him. but passing him is another thil)g. No . 4R Johnson 's Hendrick Motorsports machine got to the back bumper of Stewart's No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing entry on lap 320. He drew alongside Stewart twice on lap 321 before slipping back. Finally. on lap 322. Johnson made an · inside move and shot past. nowhere near as angry as he would have been if a lesser driver had cost him a win. "He had a faster car and he's probably going to get around us anyway," Stewart said, shrugging. "But I'd like to have seen him give me room to race him for it." Johnson began the season on a down note by crashing out in 39th at Daytona. That also ended his string of I 04 consecutive races in the top 10 in the season points, dating to the fourth race of 2004. But he came back to finish third the next week at California, won two weeks later at Las Vegas and. with his win in Atlanta. has now moved to fourth in the sea- son points.

That means the only initial changes fans might even notice on the COT are aesthetic - panicularly with the adjustable rear wing and front splitter. The flat spliller is located under the nose of the car and can be adjusted to change the front downforce . The rear wing, which replaces the spoiler and looks like what you'd see on a street car, can be altered to effect aerodynamics. Because both pieces are adjustable, NASCAR said teams will no longer have to build track-specific race cars because the COT can be tinkered with to go straight from a shon track to a superspeedway. The new car also makes several advancements in safety, with a larger driver's compartment, center-located seat and energy absorbing materials through the gut of the vehicle. "The most imponam thing month as the first real test for the COT. "On the short tracks, you will probably not see any change," Pemberton said. "''m pretty sure this weekend we'll see great racing at Bristol like you always do. It won ' t be until you get to Phoenix, Darlington and Dover, that's where you can stan to draw some comparison." Brandon Thomas, who helped develop the COT prototype while at Joe Gibbs Racing, believes NASCAR was sman to roll out the car at Bristol and Maninsville. "The first two races we're going ' to run are very, very low on the aerodynamic supremacy scale," said Thomas, crew chief for Tony Raines. "By rolling it out at the places they've decided to, you're going to see a minimal amount of impact when a crash happens and a splitter gets ripped off.

"It looked like it was a glancing blow on his jaw, !Jut it did some llmnage." Fedoruk was traded by Anaheim to Philadelphia on Nov. 13.

''If a player is going to get damaged to the point it's going to affect him in a severe way, it's incumbent upon us all to ask questions." Fighting is outlawed in the Olympics and quite rare in the playoffs. A bigger problem is Orr-Fedoruk came on the heels of other highly pub· licized acts of violence by Chris Simon and Jordin Tootoo that marred NHL games.

Center for Cancer Care .,;~~ (HCCC) provides to _ _.-,patients and physicians in the region the latest diagnostic ima~ing technology from Phtlips Medical Systems. The center's newest, larger CT scanner is a computed tomography scanner (sometimes referred to as a "'cat" scan), that produces crisp, detailed images of the body in mere seconds. · Computed tomography is a valuable tool in the detection of cancer. CT scans are used to detect tumors, provide information about a tumor's size and location, guide physicians for biopsies, create a radiation therapy plan, and determine how the cancer is responding to treatment. The CT scanner improves the accuracy of imaging results and enables physicians to detect cancer at an early stage and .·- ·~ offer patients more effective treatment o~tions . In addttion to its advanced diagnostic capabilities, this CT also features smart design. The system features a larger "bore" or opening than traditional CT scanners. This open design can be more comfortable than conventional "tube shaped" machines . It can also accommodate patients up to 440 pounds. and those wearing bulky apparatus or monitoring equipment. "Our CT system offers a great combination of diagnostic precision and patient comfort.

Center for Cancer Care .,;~~ (HCCC) provides to _ _.-,patients and physicians in the region the latest diagnostic ima~ing technology from Phtlips Medical Systems. The center's newest, larger CT scanner is a computed tomography scanner (sometimes referred to as a "'cat" scan), that produces crisp, detailed images of the body in mere seconds. · Computed tomography is a valuable tool in the detection of cancer. CT scans are used to detect tumors, provide information about a tumor's size and location, guide physicians for biopsies, create a radiation therapy plan, and determine how the cancer is responding to treatment. The CT scanner improves the accuracy of imaging results and enables physicians to detect cancer at an early stage and .·- ·~ offer patients more effective treatment o~tions . In addttion to its advanced diagnostic capabilities, this CT also features smart design. The system features a larger "bore" or opening than traditional CT scanners. This open design can be more comfortable than conventional "tube shaped" machines . It can also accommodate patients up to 440 pounds. and those wearing bulky apparatus or monitoring equipment. "Our CT system offers a great combination of diagnostic precision and patient comfort.

All-season room bridges gap between indoors, out (MS) - Time spent entertaining and relaxing outdoors increases in relation to the weather. As the temperature rises, most people can't wait to get outside and enjoy the fresh air. But Mother Nature .:an be unpredictable, and having an area of the home that serves as a close second to the great outdoors can prove invaluable. All-season spaces, many times known as "Florida rooms," can be a welcome addition to your home. While they serve to bring a bit of the outdoors in. they also make the pertect transitional space from leisure time outstde to under the roof. These spaces .:an be as simple or as elaborate as you desire. For example, a simple breezeway or vestibule between the yard and the kitchen - a glorified mudroom - can house gardening supplies, muddy shoes and baseball caps. People who desire a larger, more recreational space can fashion their room with large windows to allow in natural light and air. hot tubs, indoor/outdoor furniture and more . Others may create a solarium or greenhouse effect and till the space with lush plants and tlowers. It all depends on what you need or want most. Finding a location Certain areas work well with adjacent all-season rooms. Consider locating yours near the kitchen, \\ hich inevitably serves as a mudroom/junk collection area when a more detined sp~ce is lacking. Plus, having close proximity to food storage and preparation areas makes it easy to entertain in the all-season space or outdoors. Utility rooms can also be expanded, or choose a space that butts up to a garage. Any area that is a transitional area from the outside to the main part of the home can benefit from an all-season conversion. Equipping your space Depending upon use, there are certain " neceSsities" for your room. Good ideas include hooks or pegs for hanging hats and coats when they'll need to "drip-dry" AP ECONOMICS WRITER WASHINGTON - Sales of existing homes unexpectedly rose in February by the largest amount in nearly three year-., but analysts expressed fears that the recovery for the battered housing industry will be slowed by spreading troubles in mortgage lending. The National Association of Realtors reported Friday that sales of existing homes rose by 3.9 percent last month, pushed higher by a sharp increase in sal es activity in the No.rthea.st. It was "the biggest increase sint:e a similar increase in March 2004. The increase pushed sales up to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 6.69 million units, still 3.6 percent lower than a year ago. Sales fell by 8.5 percent for all of last year as housing hit a sharp slowdown after setting sales records for five straight years. Analysts, who had been looking for sales to decline in February , said the increase retlected warmer weather in the Northeast and Midwest and said that the housing industry is still not on a sustained rebound. "Sales cannot be sustained at this level, which is way above the pace implied by mortgage applications," said Jan Shepherdson, chief at High economist Frequency Economics. The price of a median home sold last month dropped to $212,800, down by 1.3 percent from the same month in 2006 . It marked a record seven straight months that the median home prime has after nasty weather.

Additionally, thermal windows that can be sealed when the temperature drops truly make this an all-sea~on SJ?UCe. Remember to add additional heat or cooling a~ needed. Plus, it is a good idea to have two doors fol" vour all-season room: one that leads to the outdoors and one that provides entry to the house. This fallen compared to the same period a year ago. Analysts said the price decline s were helping to lure buyers back into the market. Elut analysts expressed concerns about what the growing problems in the subprime lending market will do to the prospects for future sales. Subprime mortgages were offered to people with weak credit histories who could not qualify for standard types of mortgages. Now an increasing number of those mortgages are going into default. That is forcing lenders to tighten up on their loan standards, meaning people who would have qualified for subprime mortgages will not be able to do so. David Lereah, chief economist for the Realtors, said he believed that demand for homes could be cut by 150,000 to 200,000 annually over this year and 2008 because of the lending troubles. "Our view is that the tightening in the subprime market will have a negative impact on home sales," Lereah said. "It probably won't postpone the recovery ' (in housing) but it will slow it." By region of the country, sales were up 14.2 percent in the Northeast, a gain that was attributed in part to warmer-than-normal weather this winter, which spurred sales. Sales of existing homes were up 3.9 percent in the Midwest and 1.6 percent in the South, while sales . were unchanged in the West. Lereah said the reluctance of sellers in the West to trim prices was holding back a rebound in that region . \..
