James, Cavaliers take on Cleveland's curse BY· JOE MtUCIA ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER ' I i! I CLEVELAND Strange things are happening to the pro teams in this city. The Cavaliers are in the NBA finals. The Indians are tied for first place. And the Browns drafted an offensive lineman - in the first round. Could they be signs that the curse blamed for Cleveland's decades of sports woes i~ dose to lifting?

San Antonio won 75-72 tuesday night, taking a 3-0 lead · in the best-of-seven series. The Spurs only need one more win to secure their fourth championship. No team has ever won the title after losing the first three games. The Cavaliers are testing the widely held belief in town that a curse is responsible for all the heartbreak fans have suffered over the years. The Drive. The Fumble. The Shot. Art Modell moving the Browns to Baltimore. Jose Mesa 's blown save in Ganie 7 of the 1997 World Series. The list goes on and on. Boston and Chicago 's curses are at least selective, picking on only the Red Sox- who ended theil"86year title drought when they won the World Series in 2004 - or the Cubs while allowing the Celtics, · Patriots and Bulls to win title after title. Cleveland 's curse ' has hovered over all three . teams. More recently the jinx has struck individual players such as the Browns' Kellen Winslow on his illfated motorcyCle ride and top free agent center LeCharles Bentley, who tore up his knee on the first full-contact play of training camp. Only James has appeared to be jinx proof. He's lived up to the enormous hype that followed him from. high school in nearby Akron and has led his team to the finals in just his fourth season. "This will be the biggest · thing that happened here since Bill Veeck and the 1948 World Series winners. if they can win this thing," said Hall of Farner Bob Feller, a member of that last lndia!JS championship team. Some blame the curse on Rocky Colavito, the Indians popular right fielder .traded to the Tigers for H<)rvey Kuerrn in 1960. But Colavito has said he never cursed anyone. Some say Jim Brown, who retired ·abruptly after the 1965 NFL season, is responsible. Others point to former Browns owner Art Modell, who never took the team to the Super Bowl then moved the franchise to Baltimore and won it all. Feller doesn't believe .in · any of it. "I' m not superstitious," he said. "I don' t believe anything is a curse. I don 't believe in goblins or ghosts. It's nonsense." Feller has another explanation.

Now that the weather is warming up, I w.ant to let your readers know that. when they're at the beach, in the garden doing yard work or whatever they plan to do outside, they should take care out in the heat. If you could prim some suggestions on how to keep cool, that would be greatly appreciated. -Anonymous Dear Anonymous: Our deepest condole nces . . Heatstroke is deadly and can affect anyone, at any age. If you are going to be outside in the heat, it is important to hydrate your body with water or a sports drink on a regular basis, whether or not yo~ feel thirsty. Stay away from drihks containing caffeine or alcohol. Here is more information (source: MayoClinic.com): The main sign cif heatstroke is a markedly elevated body temperature - generally greater than I 04 F with changes in mental status ranging from personality changes to confusion and, coma. Skin may be hot and dry, although in heatstroke caused by exertion, the skin is usually moist. Other signs and symptoms may include rapid heartbeat; rapid and shallow breathing; elevated or lowered blood pressure; cessation of sweating; irritability, confusion or unconsciousness; fainting, which may be the first sign in older adults. If you suspect heatstroke: • Move the person out of the sun and into a shady or air-conditioned space. • Dial911 or call for emergency medical assistance. • Cool the person by covering him or her with damp · sheets or by spraying with cool water. Direct air onto the person with a f11n or newspaper. Dear Annie: I was very excited to see Red Skelton's version of the Pledge of Allegiance in your column.

He stepped into the publie eye particularly in t1mes of trouble, defending Bush on everything from Iraq, to the government's bungled response to Hurricane Katrina and the Republicans' loss of Congress last year. But with three children under the age of 4, including twins, he said earlier this month that he needed less stress and a career outside of government. Bush said he understood, but will mi ss the friend whom he has known "gosh - since 1993," "I never thought I'd be able to find somebody to possibly do as good a job as he's done,'' the president said of Bartlett. The son of an Irish immigrant and two parents who never went to college -his dad owned a bar in New Jersey - Gillespie said later in the day that he was pinching himself that he had been called to duty for a president. "I have a few goosebumps today," he said. White House chief of staff Josh Bolten said in an interview that Gillespie has "a good, personal relationship" with Bush -though admittedly not as close as the almost father-son intimacy that Bartlett and Bush share and which allows for unusu- al candor. "Dan Bartlett cannot be replaced,') Bolten said. He pra1sed Gillespie for his "ability to s tep back from a complicated situation aild see the big picture". and for his optimism. "I don't think he's on a steep learning or confidence curve with the president." Bolten said. Joining a White Hou se sometimes cri ti cized for being too insular, with aides afraid of challenging Bush or delivering bad news. Gillespie said he wouldn't pull punches. "I'd rather be kicking myself for something I said than something I didn't,'' he said. Gillespie has been a highprofile Washington lobbyist, joining force s with former Clinton administration counsel Jack Quinn to form Quinn Gillespie & Associates. In addition to giving up a huge salary from that business to come to the White House, he ' ll have to leave his post as chairman of the Virginia Republican Party. . Gillespie was listed !IS lobbyist last year for dozens of clients, incluaing such · corporate giants as Microsoft, Verizon Wireless, AT&T, pharmaceutical manufacturer Bristol-Myers Squibb, Tyson Foods, the Safeway grocery store chain, the Entergy energy company, Bank of America. the Diageo liquor company and NBC Universal. lobbying reports on file with the Senate show. Funny and well -liked by reporters, Gillespie ha ' played many roles for Bush. in addition to being Republican National Committee chairman during the 2004 elections that sent Bush back to the White House and retained GOP majorities in the House and Senate.

Asked why the commission did not make a deeper review of gun laws, White House press secretary Tony Snow said. "That really wasn 't within the purview of what they decided that they're going to look at." Virginia Tech President Charles Steger said the report disclosed "the deep complexities of the issiies facing college campuses today," and said he believes it will help advance federal and state officials' scrutiny of issues related. to society's safety vs. personal freedoms. The House bill next moves to the Senate, where gun control advocate Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y.. said he was talking to NRA ally Sen. Larry Craig, Rldaho, and there was a "very strong" chance of passage. "When the NRA and I agree on legislation, you know that it's going .to get through, become law and do some good," he said. The legislation requires state and fed~ral agencies to transmit all relevant disqualifying records to the NICS database. It also flrovides $250 million a year over the next three years to help states meet those goals and it imposes penalties including cuts in federal grants under an anti-crime law - on states that fail to meet benchmarks for automating their systems and supplying information tu the NICS. Virginia's Democratic Gov. Tim Kaine said Wednesday · that in ordering state executive branch agencies to · upgrade background check reporting la~t month he found that Virginia was one of only 22 states reporting any mental health information to the NICS. He said the House bill was "significant action to honor the memories of the victims who lost their lives at Virginia Tech." "Millions of criminal records are not accessible by NICS," said Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, D-N. Y., sponsor of the bill.

But with three children under the age of 4, including twins, he said earlier this month that he needed less stress and a career outside of government. Bush said he understood, but will mi ss the friend whom he has known "gosh - since 1993," "I never thought I'd be able to find somebody to possibly do as good a job as he's done,'' the president said of Bartlett. The son of an Irish immigrant and two parents who never went to college -his dad owned a bar in New Jersey - Gillespie said later in the day that he was pinching himself that he had been called to duty for a president. "I have a few goosebumps today," he said. White House chief of staff Josh Bolten said in an interview that Gillespie has "a good, personal relationship" with Bush -though admittedly not as close as the almost father-son intimacy that Bartlett and Bush share and which allows for unusu- al candor. "Dan Bartlett cannot be replaced,') Bolten said. He pra1sed Gillespie for his "ability to s tep back from a complicated situation aild see the big picture". and for his optimism. "I don't think he's on a steep learning or confidence curve with the president." Bolten said. Joining a White Hou se sometimes cri ti cized for being too insular, with aides afraid of challenging Bush or delivering bad news. Gillespie said he wouldn't pull punches. "I'd rather be kicking myself for something I said than something I didn't,'' he said. Gillespie has been a highprofile Washington lobbyist, joining force s with former Clinton administration counsel Jack Quinn to form Quinn Gillespie & Associates. In addition to giving up a huge salary from that business to come to the White House, he ' ll have to leave his post as chairman of the Virginia Republican Party. . Gillespie was listed !IS lobbyist last year for dozens of clients, incluaing such · corporate giants as Microsoft, Verizon Wireless, AT&T, pharmaceutical manufacturer Bristol-Myers Squibb, Tyson Foods, the Safeway grocery store chain, the Entergy energy company, Bank of America. the Diageo liquor company and NBC Universal. lobbying reports on file with the Senate show. Funny and well -liked by reporters, Gillespie ha ' played many roles for Bush. in addition to being Republican National Committee chairman during the 2004 elections that sent Bush back to the White House and retained GOP majorities in the House and Senate.

Asked why the commission did not make a deeper review of gun laws, White House press secretary Tony Snow said. "That really wasn 't within the purview of what they decided that they're going to look at." Virginia Tech President Charles Steger said the report disclosed "the deep complexities of the issiies facing college campuses today," and said he believes it will help advance federal and state officials' scrutiny of issues related. to society's safety vs. personal freedoms. The House bill next moves to the Senate, where gun control advocate Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y.. said he was talking to NRA ally Sen. Larry Craig, Rldaho, and there was a "very strong" chance of passage. "When the NRA and I agree on legislation, you know that it's going .to get through, become law and do some good," he said. The legislation requires state and fed~ral agencies to transmit all relevant disqualifying records to the NICS database. It also flrovides $250 million a year over the next three years to help states meet those goals and it imposes penalties including cuts in federal grants under an anti-crime law - on states that fail to meet benchmarks for automating their systems and supplying information tu the NICS. Virginia's Democratic Gov. Tim Kaine said Wednesday · that in ordering state executive branch agencies to · upgrade background check reporting la~t month he found that Virginia was one of only 22 states reporting any mental health information to the NICS. He said the House bill was "significant action to honor the memories of the victims who lost their lives at Virginia Tech." "Millions of criminal records are not accessible by NICS," said Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, D-N. Y., sponsor of the bill.

People who injure or kill an attacker in 'self defense no longer would shoulder the burden to prove their actions were justifiable under a bill introduced Wednesday by Republican lawmakers. The proposal also would protect people who justifiably kill someone in self defense from civil lawsuits ihat could require them to pay damages. The first similar law passed in Florida in 2005, · and Ohio is one of 16 states where the NRA is currently pushing the legislation. The NR,A also was responsible for pushing an Ohio law that e11abled . concealed carry permits for guns. · The influential gun-rights organization is methodically changing what it sees as laws that give undeserved protection to criminals and place the b~r~en of proof on lflnOCent VICtimS. Gun-control advocates argue the bill proposes a solution for a nonexistent problem. And they have saie ·the Jaws hinge on a subjective interpretation of when a person may feel threatened, potentially lead· ing to overreactions and fatal escalations to conflicts that- could be defused by retreating. The NRA-driven change which was introduced · with roughly 50 co-sponsors in the House and Senate, inc.luding some Democrats - provides the presumption that a person "acted properly in self defense" if the person "was suffering or was about to suffer an offense of violence that was a felony." "At the end of the day what we're trying to do is make sure that people feel safer in their home, safer in their community, and take the affirmative steps necessary to protect themselves and their families,'' said sponsoring Sen. Steve Buehrer, a Republican from Delta. Buehrer presented the bill saying it would only make changes to self-defense law for those protecting their l!o~hich he said was his primary concern. But the NRA said language in the bill would also apply outside the home. "Whether that ought to . apply in other physical · places is something we ought to debate," Buehrer said. ; Supporters of the bill provide anecdotes illustrating the need for the change, but mainly argue that it doesn't make sense to place the burden of proof on people trying to defend themselves: In a .case "where a guy purely, clearly has the ri~ht to use self defense, we ve had judges say, 'No, the guy with a broken leg should have jumped out the second-story window,"' said Jim Irvine, chairman of the Buckeye • Firearms Association . NRA regional lobbyist John Hohenwarter predicted the issue will pass easily in the GOP-controlled · Legislature. . "You don't have to be 100 percent on NRA issues to agree that people have a right to defend themselves," l)e said. Democratic Gov. Ted to :. j~eeping '~\ :Meig~ county ·informed .. .The vQuy sennntl . ' Strickland supports the legislation. · ' "The governor is a strong defender of Second Amendment rights and he suppons the rights of indi-. viduals to defend themselves," spokesman Keith Dailey said. Supporters believe the change would enable people to better make decisions aboui how to respond in a dangerous situation, free of fear they will be prosecuted. But a problem with the bill is that people in disputes can ''take the law into th~ir own hands," said Toby Hoover, .director of tbe Ohio Coalition Against Gun Violence. . ''The big fear is that people with deadly weapons will npw assume they are capable of making a decision of when that can be used, wherever they are," · Hoover said. Hohenwarter said guncontrol advocates sounded the same alarm when concealed catry permits became law in many states. The "Wild West" prediction never materialized, he said. Just before a 2005 Florida . law went into effect to remove residents' duty to retreat from conflict in public places, a group tbat supports restrictions on guns handed·out fliers in Florida airports warning tourists not to argue with locals because of what they called the "Shoot First" law. · Under the Florida law protecting people who are attacked, no one has used the new defense successful" ly to have murder charges dropped or to win acquittal from a jury. However, charges often are not filed in such self-defense cases. · "'-.r- ElY ANDREW WELSH-HUGGINS ASSOCIATED PIIESS WRITER COLUMBUS- Lawyers . for a man accused of plotting to attack a shopping mall want the government's terrorism expen prohibited from testifying in an upeoming tnal.

People who injure or kill an attacker in 'self defense no longer would shoulder the burden to prove their actions were justifiable under a bill introduced Wednesday by Republican lawmakers. The proposal also would protect people who justifiably kill someone in self defense from civil lawsuits ihat could require them to pay damages. The first similar law passed in Florida in 2005, · and Ohio is one of 16 states where the NRA is currently pushing the legislation. The NR,A also was responsible for pushing an Ohio law that e11abled . concealed carry permits for guns. · The influential gun-rights organization is methodically changing what it sees as laws that give undeserved protection to criminals and place the b~r~en of proof on lflnOCent VICtimS. Gun-control advocates argue the bill proposes a solution for a nonexistent problem. And they have saie ·the Jaws hinge on a subjective interpretation of when a person may feel threatened, potentially lead· ing to overreactions and fatal escalations to conflicts that- could be defused by retreating. The NRA-driven change which was introduced · with roughly 50 co-sponsors in the House and Senate, inc.luding some Democrats - provides the presumption that a person "acted properly in self defense" if the person "was suffering or was about to suffer an offense of violence that was a felony." "At the end of the day what we're trying to do is make sure that people feel safer in their home, safer in their community, and take the affirmative steps necessary to protect themselves and their families,'' said sponsoring Sen. Steve Buehrer, a Republican from Delta. Buehrer presented the bill saying it would only make changes to self-defense law for those protecting their l!o~hich he said was his primary concern. But the NRA said language in the bill would also apply outside the home. "Whether that ought to . apply in other physical · places is something we ought to debate," Buehrer said. ; Supporters of the bill provide anecdotes illustrating the need for the change, but mainly argue that it doesn't make sense to place the burden of proof on people trying to defend themselves: In a .case "where a guy purely, clearly has the ri~ht to use self defense, we ve had judges say, 'No, the guy with a broken leg should have jumped out the second-story window,"' said Jim Irvine, chairman of the Buckeye • Firearms Association . NRA regional lobbyist John Hohenwarter predicted the issue will pass easily in the GOP-controlled · Legislature. . "You don't have to be 100 percent on NRA issues to agree that people have a right to defend themselves," l)e said. Democratic Gov. Ted to :. j~eeping '~\ :Meig~ county ·informed .. .The vQuy sennntl . ' Strickland supports the legislation. · ' "The governor is a strong defender of Second Amendment rights and he suppons the rights of indi-. viduals to defend themselves," spokesman Keith Dailey said. Supporters believe the change would enable people to better make decisions aboui how to respond in a dangerous situation, free of fear they will be prosecuted. But a problem with the bill is that people in disputes can ''take the law into th~ir own hands," said Toby Hoover, .director of tbe Ohio Coalition Against Gun Violence. . ''The big fear is that people with deadly weapons will npw assume they are capable of making a decision of when that can be used, wherever they are," · Hoover said. Hohenwarter said guncontrol advocates sounded the same alarm when concealed catry permits became law in many states. The "Wild West" prediction never materialized, he said. Just before a 2005 Florida . law went into effect to remove residents' duty to retreat from conflict in public places, a group tbat supports restrictions on guns handed·out fliers in Florida airports warning tourists not to argue with locals because of what they called the "Shoot First" law. · Under the Florida law protecting people who are attacked, no one has used the new defense successful" ly to have murder charges dropped or to win acquittal from a jury. However, charges often are not filed in such self-defense cases. · "'-.r- ElY ANDREW WELSH-HUGGINS ASSOCIATED PIIESS WRITER COLUMBUS- Lawyers . for a man accused of plotting to attack a shopping mall want the government's terrorism expen prohibited from testifying in an upeoming tnal. They say tbe expen is not reliable and has his facts wro~. The expen, Smgaporebased Rohan Gunaratna, is scheduled to testify ·at the August trial of 'Nuradin Abdi, 35, a Somali immigrant arrested three years ago . . Prosecutors say he wanted to bomb an unspecified Columbus-area shopping mall; the alleged plot was never carried out. Federal prosecutors have agreed to a request by Abdi's lawyer for a July hearing to determine the reliability of testimony by Gunaratna, who is ·the government's chief expen witness.

He also is expected to testify about terrorist training in Ethiopia between 1995 and 2000 at a time the government alleges· Abdi traveled to Africa to obtain such training. Abdi is char~ed with conspiring to provtde support to terrorists and specifically to ai-Qaida and to using false travel documents. If convicted, he could get up to 80 years in prison. Abdi 's attorney, Mahir Sherif, says his client may have been an angry man but wasn't involved in any ter· rorism conspiracy.

Feds indict 38 on drug and weapons charges ._ CLEVELAND (AP)- A federal grand jury has indicted 38. people, most accused of being current or former gang members, on drug and weapons charges. Many of the defendants were involved with the Hough Heights street gang. the government said. Twenty-two people were charged with conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute and to distribute phencyclidine, or PCP, from January 2005 to May 2007. Other defendants were charged with distribution of crack cocaine, distribution of heroin, being a felon in possession of a firearm and possession and transfer of unregistered destructive devices. The · investigation was conducied by the national Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force program along with the Cleveland Comprehensive Anti-Gang Initiative. Cleveland is one of six places selected by U.S. Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales for such a partnership. In an unrelated investigation, nine people from northeast Ohio were charged with weapons trafficking. Police and federal authorities said an eightmonth investigation uncovered a gunrunning operation shuttling firearms from Alliance to New York City: Authorities said Aaron Callock, 34, organized the . ring and recruited others t9 buy the guns so they could be resold to unlicensed buyers · in New . York. Callock has been charged with conspiracy to traffic firearms, trafficking firearms and transporting the guns out of the state to 1 ille~ally sell them. · E1ght others were arrested Tuesday morning during a raid by police and federal Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agents. .Callock is serving a two year prison sentence after pleading guilty in January to drug charges, according to court records. al Athen s (OH), 5 p.m. Iuesday Jynt 19 Legion Baaeball _Gallipolis at Athens, 6 p.m. SPORTS BRIEFS Meigs Flag Football League POMEROY The sign-up date has been extended for the Meigs Flag Football League that will be held this falL The league is being organized by former NFL star Mike aartrum' along with cooperation from the National Football League.

LOUIS Dale Earnhardt Jr. has laundtep a race of his own. When the NASCAR star announced Wednesday that his sponsorship deal with Anheuser-Busch Cos. is up in the air, he threw into question a nearly decade-long partnership that is one of the most recognizable corporate sponsorships 111 the sporting world. The nation's biggest brewer has made its name synonymous with No. 8 Earnhardt's Budweiser Chevrolet. If Anheuser-Busch loses Earnhardt's contract , · it could affect the brewer 's overall marketing plan, said Benj Steinman , publisher of Beer Marketer 's Insights . "It's been a long-term lynchpin of their sponsorships:· Steinman said. Anheuser-Busch still holds mass ive sponsorship contracts with high-profile eve nt s, such as the Super Bowl. But Earnhardt I S a particularly profitable athlete to sponsor because manv of his fans are beer dnnkers , Steinman said 'Earnhardt suggested Wednesday the fi eld IS open for other companies to swoop in and put their tag on his car now that he has join ed Hendrick Motorsports. •I ...

Junior from Page Bl how he treated my granddaddy when he was ill. He employed Robert years past his ability to be a competent worker. That was really important to me. "I already felt close to him as a friend before he even talked to me about driving for him . It wasn't a really hard decision to go to drive for him ." · It wasn't so easy to break the news to the other owners. Earnhardt was the most soughtafter free agent in NASCAR history, and embarked on a recruiting tour like nothing the sport had eyer seen. He went on shop visils often after hours, so the Earnhardt's . contract with Anheuser-Busch isn't set to expire for another year.

After seven-plus seasons at DEI, he was exploring the industry for the first time in his career. "Richard and I have known each other all my life, and he has been incredible to me. Joe was my hero as a child ... for me to sit down in front of him and talk to him about going to work for him, that experience was overwhelming and exciting," Earnhardt said. ''On~;e I made up my mind to go where I wanted to go, this big hurt set in on how I was going to express that to those guys."

" Anheuser-Busch has enjoyed a remarkable relationship with Dale Earnhardt Jr. since our sponsorship commenced back in 1999;" Tony Ponturo, AnheuserBusch 's vice president of global media and sports marketing, said in an ematl statement. Pontur<l suggested the company wasn't prepared to let Earnhardt slip away too easily.

Jose Castillo had two hits and an RBI , Freddy Sanchez drove· in two runs and Chris Duffy added a pair of hits and an RBI for Pittsburgh , which has won the first two games of the interleague series The Pirates entered the series having lost nine of 12 but have beaten up on the Rangers, who have lost 15 of their last 20 at home ..The Rangers came into the night oile of three teams in the majors with a worse re~ord than Pittsburgh. Snell (6-4) gave up an unearned run and seven hits , striking out seven. He has allowed only three earned runs during his three starts in June, and his ERA, . already eighth in ·the NL . coming into the contest, dropped to 2.63. Kenny Lofton and Frank Catalanotto had two hits each for the Rangers. The Pirates had at· least two hits in each of their first five innings and took an 8-0 lead, scoring at least one run in all but the third. They put six runners on base through five, and every starter except for Nos. 8 and 9 hitters Ronny Paulino and Snell had at least one hit. Sanchez's ground-rule do'uble to center in the first scored Bautista. and Jason Bay followed with an RBI groundout to drive in Chris Duffy. Bautista had a twoout RBI single in the second to score Jose Castillo, and Sanchez hit a sacrifice fly to center to plate Snell in the fourth. That was all for Rangers starter Robinson Tejeda (57), who gave up four runs - three earned - and seven hits with thtee walks in four innings . The Pirates added four more in the fifth against Joaquin Benoit to put the game away. Castillo doubled to score Xavier Nady, and Bautista tripled to drive in Castillo and Paulino . Duffy followed with an infield single to plate Bautista. The Rangers scored in the sixth , when Brad Wilkerson's line drive .caromed Qff third baseman Bautista's glove into short left. The play was ruled an· error, and Catalanotto scored from third. That was all Texas would get against Snell. who has allowed two earned runs or less in five of his seven outings at PNC Pari:. and improved to 5-2 at home.

If so, here's a brief description of the chemistry behind firework displays. Heat will cause a substance to get hot and eventually glow, giving off a specific color depending upon the substance. Subslflllces initially bum at red, tum to orange, yeUow, and eventually white light at extreme temperatures. Firework temperatures are carefully controlled to emit the right shade. Luminescence is light that is formed from methods other than heat. According to About.com, to produce luminescence, energy is absorbed by an electron of an atom or molecule, causing it to become excited, but unstable.
