A political newcomer with a doctorate in econo111ics from the University of lllirrois. Correa, 44, was elected in November with a power-to-the-people . message, promising to clip the wings of Ecuador's political establishment. the eighth president in I0 · years, the tall, charismatic Correa has drawn big crowds with vitriolic speeches, assailing his opponents ' and critics as corrupt The more Correa lashes out, the more his bond with Ecuador 's poor majority appears to strengthen. The oil-based economy is also running in his favor. It is relatively stable thanks to high crude prices and the adoption of the U.S. dollar as Ecuador's official currency in 2000. But most Ecuadoreans remain poor and are increasingly demanding more from their government. Correa has not offered detailed proposals for the anti-corruption measures he envisions will result from a new constitution. But he has' mentioned that a new chaner should eliminate the authority of Congress - which is controlled by Ecuador's traditional parties - · to name judges and other judicial and electoral authorities. Opponents fear he will use the constituent assembly to consolidate enough power to overcome any opposition: from other branches of government. "The president is very, intolerant of criticism and he is very hard on his opponents," said political scien- · tist Simon Pachano. "It seems to me that there is a strategy of confrontation. The government is not looking for a consensus on polit-. ical reforms." During his campaign, .Correa said he planned l! heavy state role for Ecuador's free-market economy to divide \\lealtn and benefit the country's poor majority. Since taking office in January, however, he has moved cautiously on economic reforms, saying he did not want to open more than one front at a time. until his supporters win control of the constitutional assembly.

A political newcomer with a doctorate in econo111ics from the University of lllirrois. Correa, 44, was elected in November with a power-to-the-people . message, promising to clip the wings of Ecuador's political establishment. the eighth president in I0 · years, the tall, charismatic Correa has drawn big crowds with vitriolic speeches, assailing his opponents ' and critics as corrupt The more Correa lashes out, the more his bond with Ecuador 's poor majority appears to strengthen. The oil-based economy is also running in his favor. It is relatively stable thanks to high crude prices and the adoption of the U.S. dollar as Ecuador's official currency in 2000. But most Ecuadoreans remain poor and are increasingly demanding more from their government. Correa has not offered detailed proposals for the anti-corruption measures he envisions will result from a new constitution. But he has' mentioned that a new chaner should eliminate the authority of Congress - which is controlled by Ecuador's traditional parties - · to name judges and other judicial and electoral authorities. Opponents fear he will use the constituent assembly to consolidate enough power to overcome any opposition: from other branches of government. "The president is very, intolerant of criticism and he is very hard on his opponents," said political scien- · tist Simon Pachano. "It seems to me that there is a strategy of confrontation. The government is not looking for a consensus on polit-. ical reforms." During his campaign, .Correa said he planned l! heavy state role for Ecuador's free-market economy to divide \\lealtn and benefit the country's poor majority. Since taking office in January, however, he has moved cautiously on economic reforms, saying he did not want to open more than one front at a time. until his supporters win control of the constitutional assembly.

TODAY IN HISTORY . ditional guidelines, w.i: lose our bearings. Without words that mean what they say, we fail 'to realize we have done so. Meanwhile, new guidelines, even new words, come into practice. For example, the ·European Union has now compiled a handbook full of "nonoffensive" phrases to use when discussing Islamic terrorism . "Islamic terrorism" is out (the phrase, not the practice), replaced by "terrorists who abusively invoke Islam" -- or so it is reported. We don't know for sure because this handbook of sweet non-offensivenesses ts actually classified. According to the Daily Telegraph, other terms banned by this "common lexicon" likely include "jihad," "Islamic" and "fundamentalist.'' This could pose a problem if al)yone wants to disc uss a fundamentalist on an islamic jihad. Then again, thanks to the secret codebook, nobody e1er will , right? Sounds like a pian to define jihad terror down and out-- which is not at ali the same thing as getting rid of jihad terror. Instead, it eliminates the means by which jihad terror is named, categorized, and understood. Fatah rs "moderate." "Jihad" is verboten. "Islamic terrorism" is unmentionable, ' which, as far as EU-crats are concerned, is like saying it doesn ' t exist Meanwhile, Obituaries·· more or less nonviolent "Islamization" isn't even on the charts. Such Orwellian movements also eliminate ·the very concept of an "enemy," an "other side," and certainly an "other side" defined by its Islamic precepts of jihad and dhimmitude.·Sure, we still have the AI Qaedists to kick around, that tinyband-of-"extremi sts" we always hear about from political leaders. This same little band was invoked just this week by Sen. John McCain as "a tiny percentage of hundreds of millions of peaceful Muslims ... the vast majority of (whom) are trying to · modernize their societies ... to build the same elements of a good · life that all of us want." Hmmm. If the vast majority of hundreds of millions of Muslims are trying to build "the good life," what's the problem? The problem is with the rhetoric. Any rational as.sessment of, say, the rapid entrenchment of Sharia across Europe -- by no stretch the "good life" we "ail" want -- turns it into sloppy goop. But ratioool assessments are out.

Fund managers typically aren't known for their shareholder actiVIsm. Mutual funds have long protested corporate decisions by selling their stock, not by publicly taking a stand against management But the Thke-Two example, and others 'this year, may be signaling a welcome change. They may be taking the cue from activist hedge funds that . increasingly are demanding changes after buying big .stock stakes, including higher dividetids, share buybacks or buyout offers. In the past, . mutual funds have largely sided with company-led, not shareholder-driven initiatives. Vo!ifig records of the 29 large fund families show that they supported managementsponsored proposals 92 percent of the time during the 2006 proxy season, . compai-ed with 37 percent of those put forth by shareholders, . according to The Corporate Library, a.research group. The funds have gotten lots of heat for their staunch support of management, with critics questioning if funds are u~holding their legal obliganons to vote in the best interest of their shareholders if they take management's side. But some mutual funds appear to be warming up to the activist role, perhaps because of new rules that requiring fund companies to disclose how they ·vote in coiporate elections. They also face increased competition for investors' money, especially from hedge funds. At Take-Two, OppenheimerFunds Inc., teamed up with a group of investors, including hedge fund SAC Capital, to oust five directors and the CEO on March 29, and then named its own team to the board. That revolt followed poor results, accounting ttoubles and controversy surrounding the violent and sexual content of Take-Two's most popuhir line of games, "Grand Theft Auto." In addition, its former chairman and CEO, Ryan Brant, was the first ,chief executive to be convicted of falsifying business records to backdate stock-option grants.

TODAY IN HISTORY . ditional guidelines, w.i: lose our bearings. Without words that mean what they say, we fail 'to realize we have done so. Meanwhile, new guidelines, even new words, come into practice. For example, the ·European Union has now compiled a handbook full of "nonoffensive" phrases to use when discussing Islamic terrorism . "Islamic terrorism" is out (the phrase, not the practice), replaced by "terrorists who abusively invoke Islam" -- or so it is reported. We don't know for sure because this handbook of sweet non-offensivenesses ts actually classified. According to the Daily Telegraph, other terms banned by this "common lexicon" likely include "jihad," "Islamic" and "fundamentalist.'' This could pose a problem if al)yone wants to disc uss a fundamentalist on an islamic jihad. Then again, thanks to the secret codebook, nobody e1er will , right? Sounds like a pian to define jihad terror down and out-- which is not at ali the same thing as getting rid of jihad terror. Instead, it eliminates the means by which jihad terror is named, categorized, and understood. Fatah rs "moderate." "Jihad" is verboten. "Islamic terrorism" is unmentionable, ' which, as far as EU-crats are concerned, is like saying it doesn ' t exist Meanwhile, Obituaries·· more or less nonviolent "Islamization" isn't even on the charts. Such Orwellian movements also eliminate ·the very concept of an "enemy," an "other side," and certainly an "other side" defined by its Islamic precepts of jihad and dhimmitude.·Sure, we still have the AI Qaedists to kick around, that tinyband-of-"extremi sts" we always hear about from political leaders. This same little band was invoked just this week by Sen. John McCain as "a tiny percentage of hundreds of millions of peaceful Muslims ... the vast majority of (whom) are trying to · modernize their societies ... to build the same elements of a good · life that all of us want." Hmmm. If the vast majority of hundreds of millions of Muslims are trying to build "the good life," what's the problem? The problem is with the rhetoric. Any rational as.sessment of, say, the rapid entrenchment of Sharia across Europe -- by no stretch the "good life" we "ail" want -- turns it into sloppy goop. But ratioool assessments are out.

Fund managers typically aren't known for their shareholder actiVIsm. Mutual funds have long protested corporate decisions by selling their stock, not by publicly taking a stand against management But the Thke-Two example, and others 'this year, may be signaling a welcome change. They may be taking the cue from activist hedge funds that . increasingly are demanding changes after buying big .stock stakes, including higher dividetids, share buybacks or buyout offers. In the past, . mutual funds have largely sided with company-led, not shareholder-driven initiatives. Vo!ifig records of the 29 large fund families show that they supported managementsponsored proposals 92 percent of the time during the 2006 proxy season, . compai-ed with 37 percent of those put forth by shareholders, . according to The Corporate Library, a.research group. The funds have gotten lots of heat for their staunch support of management, with critics questioning if funds are u~holding their legal obliganons to vote in the best interest of their shareholders if they take management's side. But some mutual funds appear to be warming up to the activist role, perhaps because of new rules that requiring fund companies to disclose how they ·vote in coiporate elections. They also face increased competition for investors' money, especially from hedge funds. At Take-Two, OppenheimerFunds Inc., teamed up with a group of investors, including hedge fund SAC Capital, to oust five directors and the CEO on March 29, and then named its own team to the board. That revolt followed poor results, accounting ttoubles and controversy surrounding the violent and sexual content of Take-Two's most popuhir line of games, "Grand Theft Auto." In addition, its former chairman and CEO, Ryan Brant, was the first ,chief executive to be convicted of falsifying business records to backdate stock-option grants.

The money comes from the U.S. Department of and Urban Housing Development and goes directly to landlords though the Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority. The program is designed to ensure that low-income tenants pay no more than 30 percent of their monthly mcome for rent. About 14,000 homes in Cuyahoga County are in the Housing Choice Voucher Program. The Plain Dealer said the foreclosure number likely is low because court records were not complete. Neil Clough, ·who owns more than 30 .rental properties, has seven homes in foreclosu~e on the city's west side and the suburb of Westlake.

(AP) ---, The final round of the Verizon Heritage was suspended until Monday after Harbour Town was hit by wind so strong that a tournament marshal was hit by a falling tree limb. Tournament officials announ ced- the decision shonly before 4 p.m. Finalround play was expected to resume at 7:45 a.m. Monday. It will be the tour~ament 's first Monday finish since Jose_Coceres beat Billy Mayfair in a playoff in Jamie McMurray finished, followed Greg Biftle, Martin Truex Jr. , Montoya, Denny Hamlin and David Stremme. Earnhardt was trying to repeat at Texas, where he got his first Cup victory seven years ago, a year after his first Busch victory came at the track . . He has gone 33 races since wmning . at Richmond last May. Gordon ran m front for Brandon Phillips leading off the fourth. And after Phillips stole second and Josh Hamilton struck out, from PageBl Conine drove Phillips in hits while striking out I0 with a single to left.

With one out and a man on, Barrett hit we're not winning a lot .of Weathers' 3-2 pitch deep games," said Lilly, who down the left-field line, but signed with the Cubs for it just hooked foul. Barrett four years and $40 million flied out to right on the next in the offseason. "It's nice pitch. · to go out there\ and throw Lilly, who held Cincinnati the ball well, but the objecto a run in seven innings in tive is to win games." .a win on April 4, walked The Cubs are 4-7 after Blank 200.1. ·' William Millon was hit by ... the branch between the first and 11inth holes. He was talkative, conscious and a'len when he left for Hilton Head Regional Medical Center in an · ambulance , tournament spokesman Arnie Burdick smd. Millon was later released with minor mJuries, Verizon Heritage tournament director Steve Wilmot said. Soon after. the final round was halted because balls wouldn't remain in place on the 16th, 17th and 18th holes, which are exposed to Cali bogue Sound. PGA Tour tournament director Slugger White said the course was hit by gusts as high as 44 mph. Leader Jerry Kelly and playing panners Ernie Els · and Kevin Na, both a stroke off back, had just hit their approach shots into the first AP photo green when PGA Tour officials sent them back to the Brittany Lincicome g1ves th~ first place trophy a k1ss after she won the Gmn Open LPGA golf tournament In Reunion, Fla., Sunday, clubhouse. • · the most of the first half of the race before Earnhardt passed him on lap 154, · pulling his No. 8 Chevrolet under Gordon entering the backstretch. Earnhardt still was in front of Gordon with I 00 laps to go, but everything started to change after Johnson bashed up his front right end when he ran into Stewan. During the pit stop on that caution, Gordon losing for the fifth time in six games - certainly not what they anticipated after spending about $300 million on a roster makeover in the offseason. "What have I seen? What have you all seen?'' manager Lou Piniella asked afterward. "You ask me like I'm the only eyes in this room. What have you aU seen?" Told his opinion is the one that matters, Piniella smiled and said, "Oh, mine's the one that matters. We've got to get better at it, obvious- y.

''That was huge for me right there," Lohse said. "You can't give up a run. Soriano did a good piece of hitting and Theriot -· I can't ·get him out. ... But pitching' around those situations and coming up with some big strikeouts· was huge for me.~· For the Cubs, it was a rough ending to a weekend that staned on a sour note. They lost 6-5 on Friday, after Cincinnati scored six in the tifth inning against ace Carlos Zambrano and reliever Will Ohman. Rich Hill and two relievers combined on a 7-0 shutout Saturday. But a day later, with 17 laps to go. Lap after lap, Burton tried to catch up, and tinally did just in time'. "We were fa ster, but he held me off for 15 lap s," Burton said of his form er teammate. Gordon ha5 gone 25 races since his last victory. His 75 victories are one short of the late Dale Earnhardt for sixth place on NASCAR's career list. There was a first-lap Lohse shut down the Cubs. Griffey singled with one . out in the second inning. It was Griffey who asked Bud Selig if he could wear No. 42 .on the 60th anniversary of the day Robinson broke baseball's color barrier, and the commissioner thought it was such a good idea he invited every team to allow players to wear it. "For our ballclub to come in here and score in two innings and win two out of three, that's pretty good," manager Jerry Narron said. "That's getting it dune." Notes: The Reds were without Adam Dunn - a late scratch because of back spasms - so Josh Hamilton .started in left and batted cra sh at Texas for the fir st time since 1997, when there was a 13-car accident on the first turn of the first lap on the then-new track .. l:hi s time, rookie David Ragan slid up into J.J: Yeley coming out of Turn 4.

TAURUS (Aprli 20-May 2.0)·-The beginning of a new achievement cycle has been launched with you ont>oard; so if you have a secret ambition you've been nurt uring, work on it now while it has chances of bei(lQ fullilled. GEMINI (May 21-June 20)- Hope coupled with a faith in yourself and your ab ilities will be your best assets In being able to sta rt using your smarts and talents more to your advantage. Put them to work for you. CANCER (June 21·July 22)- Changes may be taking place at this time where your work or career is concerned . They will prove to be to your ultimate benefit, even II some early indicators seem contradictory. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22-) - A partnership arra ngement In which you find yourself in-.o lved has an excelt8nt chance of working out better than you anticipated. Make the most of this beneficial day. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - New dimensions can be ex panded ,upon, involving your work or career. which would provide additional benefits that vou might not ha\'8 .thoUijlt possible. Give it your all. LI BRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23) - Something interesting is brewing that could · bring you in 90ntact with a verv interesting new social group. II will contain the 1types of people who stimulate your senses. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Something you've been nurtu ring lor some time with anxiety for a conclusion could linattv be on its last legs.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - There dellnltely Is something In the works for you that could have a major Influence In changing your financial position. It could be a new joi;J, rls~."in P<?SIIIon or winning DOWN vehicles There are some serious misconceptions about a one-club opening bid, which we · will re, iew this week. First, pa~ner opens one dub. Howmany clubs do yru expect himto hold? Many believe lhat lhree is the most like· ly number, but that is not true. Some years ago, I ran a computer simulation, analyzing IMOO one·club openings. (Can you imagine oow long thai took me?The.extremes Ia which I will go for my readers!) These were the resuls: Five cards: 33.4 percent Four cards: 29:3 percent Three cards: 18.6 percent Six cards: 15.0 percent Seven·plus cards: 3.7 percent So, the opener will havethree clubs ~ss than one lime in fiVe. In this deal, when South rebids IWO hea~s. he is showing a strong hand wilh at least 4·5 in hea~s and clubs. After No~h gives preference to clubs. Soulh rebids thtee hearts to show his 5-6. When North contnues to express an interest in clubs, South wheels out Blackwood, hoping !tal il his partner has only one ace, five hearts would be makable. Againsl clubs, West leads the spade king. At trick two, South cashes a top trump honor from his hand. When the 4-Q break is exposed, dectarerplays a heart to dummy's ace, returns a heart to his king, ruffsa low heart wilh lhe club ace, draws trumps, and claims.

Fortunately, you'll be able to author a number of scenes and orcheStrate your own future. ARI ES (March 21-Aprlt 19)- Yow popular ity is on the rise at lhis time, making it far easier for you to have greater influence over your peer group - eittier soclallv or professionally. New friendships are In the offing. TAURUS (Aprli 20-May 2.0)·-The beginning of a new achievement cycle has been launched with you ont>oard; so if you have a secret ambition you've been nurt uring, work on it now while it has chances of bei(lQ fullilled. GEMINI (May 21-June 20)- Hope coupled with a faith in yourself and your ab ilities will be your best assets In being able to sta rt using your smarts and talents more to your advantage. Put them to work for you. CANCER (June 21·July 22)- Changes may be taking place at this time where your work or career is concerned . They will prove to be to your ultimate benefit, even II some early indicators seem contradictory. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22-) - A partnership arra ngement In which you find yourself in-.o lved has an excelt8nt chance of working out better than you anticipated. Make the most of this beneficial day. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - New dimensions can be ex panded ,upon, involving your work or career. which would provide additional benefits that vou might not ha\'8 .thoUijlt possible. Give it your all. LI BRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23) - Something interesting is brewing that could · bring you in 90ntact with a verv interesting new social group. II will contain the 1types of people who stimulate your senses. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Something you've been nurtu ring lor some time with anxiety for a conclusion could linattv be on its last legs. The first signs of Its completion may occur today, allowing vou lo move in a neW direCtion. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - Th is is an excellent day to start developing more expertise or a better cap'aclty for partaking in a sport or activity that has captured your tancy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)- If past efforts ha-.e warranted ~ . there Is a strong chance you could be offered an advancement of some·kind at this lime. II could take place as early as today. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - There dellnltely Is something In the works for you that could have a major Influence In changing your financial position. It could be a new joi;J, rls~."in P<?SIIIon or winning DOWN vehicles There are some serious misconceptions about a one-club opening bid, which we · will re, iew this week. First, pa~ner opens one dub. Howmany clubs do yru expect himto hold? Many believe lhat lhree is the most like· ly number, but that is not true. Some years ago, I ran a computer simulation, analyzing IMOO one·club openings. (Can you imagine oow long thai took me?The.extremes Ia which I will go for my readers!) These were the resuls: Five cards: 33.4 percent Four cards: 29:3 percent Three cards: 18.6 percent Six cards: 15.0 percent Seven·plus cards: 3.7 percent So, the opener will havethree clubs ~ss than one lime in fiVe. In this deal, when South rebids IWO hea~s. he is showing a strong hand wilh at least 4·5 in hea~s and clubs. After No~h gives preference to clubs. Soulh rebids thtee hearts to show his 5-6. When North contnues to express an interest in clubs, South wheels out Blackwood, hoping !tal il his partner has only one ace, five hearts would be makable. Againsl clubs, West leads the spade king. At trick two, South cashes a top trump honor from his hand. When the 4-Q break is exposed, dectarerplays a heart to dummy's ace, returns a heart to his king, ruffsa low heart wilh lhe club ace, draws trumps, and claims.

The Windy City's bid to hold a Summer Games for the first time moved to the international stage Saturday when the U.S. Olympic Committee capped a yearlong search for an American candidate for 20 16 by picking Chicago over two-time host Los Angeles. "It's just beginning," said Patrick Ryan, Chicago's bid committee chairman. "It's a long road." Having won over the USOC de spi te lacking venues ready for an Olympics, Chicago's task is to persuade t~e International Olympic Committee that it deserves 10 be the host, joining a group of bidders expected to include Madrid, Prague, Rome, Rio de Janeiro and Tokyo. The IOC will award the 2016 Games in October 2009. "This contest ultimately is not about the economics, it's not about. the surplus. it 's about the magic that can be created through the Olympic and Paralympic games, and how that by itself can transform a city, can transform a nation, can transform the world," USOC chief executive officer Jim Scherr said. · "And so we look forward to trying to earn that prize." The USOC had. said beforehand it would not release Saturday 's vote count and stuck to that policy. . "It was a very tough decision,'' USOC c.hairman Peter Ueberroth said before opening a sealed eQ_velope and revealing the wmning city. "If I had all the power and sometimes people accuse me of that - I would take the map and merge the two cities, because I'll tell . you what: If you could take the mayors of these two communities and llave them run our country, we would all be better off." . Edge from Page Bl I against Chicago. With the wind howling through Jacobs Field making it feel much colder than the announce<! gametime temperature of 39 degrees, Sabathia's game plan was to · pound the inside corner. "It was cold," Sabathia said. "Guys kind of think twice about swinging when it's cold and you are coming in there." ., The Indians didn't fare much beuer in the biuer conditions against Chicago starter Jose Contreras ( 1-2) and ·four relievers, who combined to no-hit Cleveland ·after Sizemore's leadoff double. The last time the Indians won while getting one hit or less was on April 12. 1992, a 2-1 victory over Boston · when they were no-hit by Red Sox pitcher Matt Young. "That's not something you see every day," said Sizemore, who like Sabathia wore No. 42 to salute Robinson for breaking baseball's color barrier. "I don 't recall ever winning a game with just one hit." . Cleveland took advantage of three Chicago errors and some walks to take two of three against one of its AL Central rival s. Sabathia was lucky to escape the eighth with a 2-1 lea4. The White Sox got runners to first and third with two outs, when Rob Mackowiak hit a shot through the middle that caromed · off Sabathia 's hand and bounced directly to third base'lT!an Casey Blake, who picked it cleanly off the grass and threw out Mackowiak. Sabathia pumped his arm and screamed in delight before heading back to the dugout. "I was fired up," Sabathia ·Said. "It was a close game · and that was a big moment. That was the game right there."

Cleveland's home opener at Jacobs Field was stopped by snow and the club had its entire four-game series against Seattle postponed last weekend by a blizzard and cold weather. The nex! · series was switched to Milwaukee's Miller Park, where the Indians played the Los Angeles Angels three times under a retractable roof. · So after taking, two of three from Chicago. the Indians went 4-2 on a 10game homestand with three of those games taking place in a National League ballpark 450 miles away, Weird enough for you?

We just went to Milwaukee and then came home and won the series this weekend." Notes: Following a day off, the Indians will play a three-game set in New York, which was bracing for a nor'easter. "That figures," DH Travis Hafner said. "The bad weather is following us everywhere we go.'.' ,, Indians general manager · Mark Shapiro said MLB has hot yet rescheduled the niissed games against the Mariners. whose only planned visit to Cleveland has come and gone.
