That's because in a small space the accessories, colors and accents you use will be much more visible than in a larger room where they tend not to be the main focus. Flooring is one important area of consideration. There are many flooring materials that are appropriate for bathrooms, it just comes down to choosing the one thai fits your budget and lifestyle. There are some materials, such as hardwood, that aren't appropriate, and are better left for other areas of the home. in a bathroom that receives frequent use. Larger tiles that require fewer grout lines during install ati on will be easier to keep clean and prevent mildew. On the downside, because of their durability, tile is a long-term commitment, so be sure you like the style and color before making it a permanent addition to the bathroom. Also, tile can be cold underfoot, so throw rugs or hydronic heating systems in the flooring may be necessary. When choosing tile, look for textured options that won 't be as slippery as glazed ones. Vinyl' flooring Vinyl flooring is a very inexpensive option and one with an easy installation most homeowners can tackle on their own.

Tile is very durable, so it's a good choice For those with larger budgets, marble, granite, travertine and other natural stone can be brought into the bathroom.

Whether rou want . to sell, or just tmprove your home's value before you tap into your equity, here are five things experts s u gg~s t you consider before call ing your bank ur putting the "for sale" sign on your lawn. Make Only Reno.vations That Count. Experts agree that the right renovations, especially bathrooms and kitchens, affect the marketability of your home. Bathrooms have become a popular remodeling choice, and for good reason - they have the highest rate of return of any home addition or home remodel. Real estate agents agree that a gleaming kitchen with stateof-the-art appliances, cork or hardwood flooring, stone countertop and lots of cupboard space can sell a house the instant a prospective buyer sees it. Con¥ersely, a cramped, ill-lit kitchen with outdated linoleum and harvest gold appliances might actually scare buyers away. Imgrove What You Can t Renovate. If you can't afford to renovate, update and . refresh key rooms instead. Replacing an old countertop, repainting cupboards and walls, and installing new door pulls and lighting make big improvements to · your kitchen · for a very modest price. Similar touches mcrease the appeal of older bathrooms, too. Fresh paint throughout your home is another low-cost, highreturn· project - it makes everything look cleaner and brighter, and buyers love a house they won't have to redecorate immediately.

REEDSVILLE - Ohio Governor Ted Strickland thanked local supporters who helped him win election and discussed the role Ohio will likely play in next year's presidential election during an appearance at a Sunday fundraiser in Reedsville. Athens Attorney Frank Lavelle and his wife, Jean Ann, hosted the event at their home to benefit the Meigs County Democratic Party. Strickland cited the new expanded Homestead Exemption program, which reduces real estate taxes for homeowners over 65 years of age and those homeowners who are disabled, as one of the most important initiatives of his administration. The expanded program, passed by the Ohio legislature earlier this year, provides a tax credit to one in four Ohio property owners. Strickland said the program reduces property taxes for some Meigs County residents by as much as two thirds . Increased availability of child health care through the state system means all children in the state are insured, Strickland said, and a two-year freeze in tuition at state universities and colleges will help more students get a higher education. "That's pretty good for eight months, don't you think,'' Strickland said, "but we still haven't solved all of our problems." Democratic faithful from Athens, Washington, Monroe and other southeastern Ohio counties also attended the event, including many state employees and Strickland appointees. Strickland recogni zed U.S. Rep. Charlie Wilson, DBridgeport, and Athens City Council Member Please see Strickland. AS Brian J.

BY MICHAEL J. SNIFFEN BY AMIR SHAH ASSOCIATED PRESS WR ITER I I ,r . ' ' ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER WASHINGTON Rejecting a wave of critici sms, the government has agreed to only modest changes in the computerized system that assesses whether each American who travels abroad poses a terrorist threat. The Homeland Security Department decided to keep the risk assessments for 15 years instead of 40 yelirs and no longer will share them with federal , state and local officials who are deciding whether a person gets a job, a security clearance, a license to do business .or a government contract. Ne vertheless, travelers still will not be allowed to see their actual assessments or the reasons for them. Federal agents still will be looking at an array of information about international travelers Americans and fo reigners; this includes even meal .:hoices, the names of traveling companions and the number of hotel beds requested . "The revisions are useful, . but they don't go to the heart of the matter," said James Dempsey, policy director {)[ the Center for Democracy . and Technology, a civil liberties group. "Why should the government keep massive databases about peopie it has decided are innocent?" Privacy advocates and civil libertarians also condemn the remedies for people who believe they were wrongly detained, delayed or even denied the right to travel. The department's decision to continue the Automated Targeting System with few changes took effect last .Thursday. It was announced m advance by an August notice in the. Federal Register, a daily catalog of federal · regulations that is read mostly by lawyers and lobbyists . The computerized systern is used by CustOIIlS and Border Protection officers to screen 400 million passengers' a year who arrive from or depart for· foreign locations by air, sea or rail. A separate part of the system is used for .vehiCles crossing the border. Members of Congress, business travel associations, privacy and civil liberties groups and even European legislators protested after Homeland Security disclosed details of the system last fall for the first time; it had gone in service in 1999. Some critics said the entire program was illegal; others wanted parts of it · changed. But the department said the system was crucial to prevenling terrorists and other criminals from entering the United States, and heiJ?S border officers dectde which travelers to pull aside for further scrutiny. The department acknowledges the risk that "a negative Customs and Border Protection action could be taken" when relying on "computer generaled information in ATS that has been skewed by inaccurate data. " But the department emphasizes that it is agents who decide whether to release or detain people after interviews. · "ATS does not re~lace human decision-making," said Hugo Teufel Ill , the department 's chief privaci offi~t AP photo Personnel confer in a room at the National Targeting Center of the Customs and Border Protection at an undisclosed location in the washington suburbs of Northern Virginia in this Dec. 1, 2006 file photo. Rejecting most criticisms, the government has decided to continue to subject every American who travels abroad to a computerized risk assessment of whether he or she is a potential terrorist. KABUL, Afghanistan- Sensing unrest outside a packed stadium, Afghanistan's president abruptly cut short a speech Sunday as polic11 ftred shots into the air in an attempt to restrain a crowd trying to enter, officials said. Shortly after bemg rushed off the podium, President Hamid Karzai said sectnity in Afghanistan was deteriorating and renewed a call for negotiations with Taliban' militants. The sound of gunfire rang out as Karzai abruptly ended his speech at Kabul's central sports stadium, sending a murmur through the crowd inside and prompting some in the audience to start to flee. . Officials told the crowd to remain calm, and said someone had thrown stones against a metal door. . But Gen. Mohammad Zahir Azimi, a Defense Ministry spokesman, said police ftred into the air to prevent a restless crowd outside the stadium from entering. Azimi said the 15,000-person stadium was already full. No injuries were reported. Karziti had been speaking at a memorial ceremony for anti-Taliban commander Ahmad Shah Massood, who was killed in an al-Qaida suicide bombing two days before the Sept. 11 , 2001, attacks in the United Sta~s . . In his speech, Karzai told the stadium crowd that countries around the world were trying to help Afghanistan govern itself. · "We should use this to complete our·desire. What is that desire? Afghanistan standing on its oWll feei, to feed itself and to secure itself," he said, as shouts and skinnishes could be heard in the background. · · , The president then abruptly closed, Slj.~ing, "Dear sisters and brothers, respect for all of you. We re ending the session, goodbye." , : . A security official for one of the1dignitaries on stage with Karzai told The Associated Press mat a crowd.of men from eastern Afghanistan was pushing 'on the stadium gate, ignoring shouted instructions from Karzai's security team to move back. ..

Only an hour later, at ·a news ·conference with Latvia's president, Karzaisaid the security situation in Afghanistan has been getting worse, though that statement didn't appear to be linked to the gunshots fired at the ceremony. "The security situation has become seriously troubled, yes, but that doesn't mean that the people don't want progress or the people (jon' t want the presence of the international community," he said. "It is terrorists who are attackin¥ us." · Karzai also reiterated that Afghailistan was willinS to negotiate with Taliban militants as a way to end the sptralin~ violence engulfmg the country's south and east, a call he s made severill times previously. · "They don't have an address. Who do we talk to?" Karzai said. · · Afghanistan has seen a spike in violence this year, .esl?,l!cially in the south. More than 4,200 people, mostly, militants, have died in insurgency-related vtolence in 2007, accofdina to an AP count based on figures from Afghan and Western officials. In southern Afghanistan, a.roadside bomb killed a coalition soldier and wounded four on Sunday, the U.S.-Ied coalition said. The attack in Helmand province, the world's largest opium poppy-growing region, came while the for~s were carrying out .combat operations about 5 miles west of Sangin.

Bolin educated club members in the techniques of preparing horticulture specimens for flower show competition. Bolin discussed tips on disbudding, grooming and hardening speCimens. Preparing specimens for flower shows should occur early tn the growing season, according to Bolin . She emphasized that single specimens should be di sbudded early in the growing season so that all the energy goes to only one flower, causing it to grow larger than it would otherwise. Also, if the show schedule calls for a single specimen, any that have not been disbudded cannot be judged, she warned. On the day preceding a show, flowers should be cut early in the morning and immediately placed in a deep container filled to the top with water. This procedure, known as "hardening" helps flowers to take up water. Adding Floral Fresh to the water may help preserve the flowers. All foliage that would be beneath the water should be removed so that it dodo 't spoiL Specimens should then be kept in a cool room while they are hardening, she added. Use a shilrp knife or floral scissors to cut the specimens at an angle to help the specimen to take up more water. Woody stems should be sliced a'n inch or two up the stems to help with water intake . · Some flowers bleed and will need to be seared before placing in water, Bolin noted. Zinnias, dahlias, euphorbia, and poinsettias are examples of flowers that should be seared with a candle flame for ftfteen to thirty seconds before placing them in.water to harden . Grooming specimens is another aspect to consider when you are planning to enter specimens in a show, according to Bolin. She used the analogy of gettin~ 9)1ildren ready for church: "We scrub them clean unttHhey shine and our specimens should be cleaned the same way." Bolin offered many tips on grooming specimens. Damaged petals can be removed as long as the symmetry is not destroyed. Only remove foliage that would spoil under water. To remove dirt and bugs. from foliage and flowers, use a dam~ned Q-tip. Pollen is best removed with a camel hair brush. Spray residue should be carefully washed from roses and other.flower specimens. Foliage can be trimmed slightly to remove imperfections, she said, as long as it is not noticeable. Use tweezers to remove ray florets ftom zinnias. Dip gloriosia daisy stems in alcohol to help )ceep their heads from wilting. To help keep a specimen standing straight in the bud vase, lodge a cotton ball around it near the top of the vase, she advised. Wax or oil cannot be used on any foliage. Hanging baskets and flower pots should be cleaned. Salt residues should be removed from the soil in your potted plants. Plants should not be oouble-potted. If one item in a porch box has turned brown, replace it with a fresh specImen. Cover the soil with moss or wood chip so that it is not apparent that a plant has been replaced, she concluded. Wildwood Garden Club President Shirley Hamm read devotions titled "Someday"· and presented "Now is the Time" to seed beans, spinach, lettuce, turnips, and radish, treat the lawn fol' white grubs, apply nitrogen to strawberries, order spring bulbs and renovate or reseed bare spots in the lawn.

ANNIE'S MAILBOX Maybe Mom should get her own place Dear Annie: My 88-yearold mothe~ is Jiving with my son and his wife. Mom's tnind is good and she is very healthy, although she has used a walker since her partial hip replacement last year. The problem is, Mom has to have everyone's attention on her all the time. She thinks she is the most important person in the family and we have to accommodate her. But she's impossible to please. She bumped her back a while ago and did nothing but complain. When she was alone in a room, she was absolutely fine, but as soon as anyone walked in, she would start to moan and groan . Mom complains endlessly about my . daughter-in-law but takes full advantage of her hospitality. The other day, my daughter-in-law went to check on her and saw through the crack of the door that Mom was sitting up in her bed reading. As soon as my daughter-in-law knocked, ·Mom stashed the book and pretended to be asleep . , I have tried to talk to my mother about her demanding behavior, but there is no getting through her thick head.

It's time for the family to get together and talk with Mom about an apartment, retirement home or assisted-living facility. She could be much happier where she has friends and aclivities - and a whole new audience to impress. Dear Annie: Please settle a dispute between my husband and me. Se:veral weeks ago, I surprised him with a 50th birthday party. It was very· low key and in our backyard. Several of his friends gave him gifts. I handed him the addresses and thank-you notes for him to write out. He stated that since he is now 50, he doesn' t need to write thank-you notes, and furthermore, he didn't ask for any of the gifts. He said it was enough that he thanked everyone in person for coming. I believe that you are never too old to write a thank-you note, and since he didn't open the gifts in front of anyone, thanking the m for coming isn't sufficient. I feel bad about thi s since I initiated the party, but I have no intention of writing hi s notes myself Please advise. - Wire of Stubborn 50- __________ ___:. Year-Old Dear Wife: Bein~ gracious has no age linut, and being 50 does not entitle your husband to be rude. Of course he should write notes to every person who was thoughtful enough to bring him a present, but your husband is lazy and doesn't want to bother. He's not 6 years old, even if he acts like tt, so say nothing more. His friends will think he is lacking in manners, and they will be right. Dear Annie: I am writing in response to "Torn in Michigan," who couldn't deal with her husband's children after her own child had died . She was considering divorce. Your answer - to stay put and seek help was right, but could have been stronger. Depression is an elusive enemy. Remind your readers that the first therapist and the first medications may not be the right ones. Keep looking. Otherwi se, that grief can turn to poison, wounding all who are close to you. I suffer from recurring depression. The first time, I worked for two years in therapy, rearrangmg the mix:ed-up furniture of m~ life. The second time, anti depressants were available, but even five years later, my daughter remembers how hard it was to be mothered by a woman who was so distant from grief.

BY MICHAEL J. SNIFFEN BY AMIR SHAH ASSOCIATED PRESS WR ITER I I ,r . ' ' ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER WASHINGTON Rejecting a wave of critici sms, the government has agreed to only modest changes in the computerized system that assesses whether each American who travels abroad poses a terrorist threat. The Homeland Security Department decided to keep the risk assessments for 15 years instead of 40 yelirs and no longer will share them with federal , state and local officials who are deciding whether a person gets a job, a security clearance, a license to do business .or a government contract. Ne vertheless, travelers still will not be allowed to see their actual assessments or the reasons for them. Federal agents still will be looking at an array of information about international travelers Americans and fo reigners; this includes even meal .:hoices, the names of traveling companions and the number of hotel beds requested . "The revisions are useful, . but they don't go to the heart of the matter," said James Dempsey, policy director {)[ the Center for Democracy . and Technology, a civil liberties group. "Why should the government keep massive databases about peopie it has decided are innocent?" Privacy advocates and civil libertarians also condemn the remedies for people who believe they were wrongly detained, delayed or even denied the right to travel. The department's decision to continue the Automated Targeting System with few changes took effect last .Thursday. It was announced m advance by an August notice in the. Federal Register, a daily catalog of federal · regulations that is read mostly by lawyers and lobbyists . The computerized systern is used by CustOIIlS and Border Protection officers to screen 400 million passengers' a year who arrive from or depart for· foreign locations by air, sea or rail. A separate part of the system is used for .vehiCles crossing the border. Members of Congress, business travel associations, privacy and civil liberties groups and even European legislators protested after Homeland Security disclosed details of the system last fall for the first time; it had gone in service in 1999. Some critics said the entire program was illegal; others wanted parts of it · changed. But the department said the system was crucial to prevenling terrorists and other criminals from entering the United States, and heiJ?S border officers dectde which travelers to pull aside for further scrutiny. The department acknowledges the risk that "a negative Customs and Border Protection action could be taken" when relying on "computer generaled information in ATS that has been skewed by inaccurate data. " But the department emphasizes that it is agents who decide whether to release or detain people after interviews. · "ATS does not re~lace human decision-making," said Hugo Teufel Ill , the department 's chief privaci offi~t AP photo Personnel confer in a room at the National Targeting Center of the Customs and Border Protection at an undisclosed location in the washington suburbs of Northern Virginia in this Dec. 1, 2006 file photo. Rejecting most criticisms, the government has decided to continue to subject every American who travels abroad to a computerized risk assessment of whether he or she is a potential terrorist. KABUL, Afghanistan- Sensing unrest outside a packed stadium, Afghanistan's president abruptly cut short a speech Sunday as polic11 ftred shots into the air in an attempt to restrain a crowd trying to enter, officials said. Shortly after bemg rushed off the podium, President Hamid Karzai said sectnity in Afghanistan was deteriorating and renewed a call for negotiations with Taliban' militants. The sound of gunfire rang out as Karzai abruptly ended his speech at Kabul's central sports stadium, sending a murmur through the crowd inside and prompting some in the audience to start to flee. . Officials told the crowd to remain calm, and said someone had thrown stones against a metal door. . But Gen. Mohammad Zahir Azimi, a Defense Ministry spokesman, said police ftred into the air to prevent a restless crowd outside the stadium from entering. Azimi said the 15,000-person stadium was already full. No injuries were reported. Karziti had been speaking at a memorial ceremony for anti-Taliban commander Ahmad Shah Massood, who was killed in an al-Qaida suicide bombing two days before the Sept. 11 , 2001, attacks in the United Sta~s . . In his speech, Karzai told the stadium crowd that countries around the world were trying to help Afghanistan govern itself. · "We should use this to complete our·desire. What is that desire? Afghanistan standing on its oWll feei, to feed itself and to secure itself," he said, as shouts and skinnishes could be heard in the background. · · , The president then abruptly closed, Slj.~ing, "Dear sisters and brothers, respect for all of you. We re ending the session, goodbye." , : . A security official for one of the1dignitaries on stage with Karzai told The Associated Press mat a crowd.of men from eastern Afghanistan was pushing 'on the stadium gate, ignoring shouted instructions from Karzai's security team to move back. .. The official, who SJ?Oke on condi(ion he not be ide!ltified because of the sensibvity of hisJ!>b, sal~ mem~s of the crowd had ftred shots ftrst- appare!ltly Jjlto,the·atr- and that police responded by doing tl)e same. · . · Karzai's security adviser, Mohammed Qasim Fahirn, said the president was not harmed. Only an hour later, at ·a news ·conference with Latvia's president, Karzaisaid the security situation in Afghanistan has been getting worse, though that statement didn't appear to be linked to the gunshots fired at the ceremony. "The security situation has become seriously troubled, yes, but that doesn't mean that the people don't want progress or the people (jon' t want the presence of the international community," he said. "It is terrorists who are attackin¥ us." · Karzai also reiterated that Afghailistan was willinS to negotiate with Taliban militants as a way to end the sptralin~ violence engulfmg the country's south and east, a call he s made severill times previously. · "They don't have an address. Who do we talk to?" Karzai said. · · Afghanistan has seen a spike in violence this year, .esl?,l!cially in the south. More than 4,200 people, mostly, militants, have died in insurgency-related vtolence in 2007, accofdina to an AP count based on figures from Afghan and Western officials. In southern Afghanistan, a.roadside bomb killed a coalition soldier and wounded four on Sunday, the U.S.-Ied coalition said. The attack in Helmand province, the world's largest opium poppy-growing region, came while the for~s were carrying out .combat operations about 5 miles west of Sangin.

Bolin educated club members in the techniques of preparing horticulture specimens for flower show competition. Bolin discussed tips on disbudding, grooming and hardening speCimens. Preparing specimens for flower shows should occur early tn the growing season, according to Bolin . She emphasized that single specimens should be di sbudded early in the growing season so that all the energy goes to only one flower, causing it to grow larger than it would otherwise. Also, if the show schedule calls for a single specimen, any that have not been disbudded cannot be judged, she warned. On the day preceding a show, flowers should be cut early in the morning and immediately placed in a deep container filled to the top with water. This procedure, known as "hardening" helps flowers to take up water. Adding Floral Fresh to the water may help preserve the flowers. All foliage that would be beneath the water should be removed so that it dodo 't spoiL Specimens should then be kept in a cool room while they are hardening, she added. Use a shilrp knife or floral scissors to cut the specimens at an angle to help the specimen to take up more water. Woody stems should be sliced a'n inch or two up the stems to help with water intake . · Some flowers bleed and will need to be seared before placing in water, Bolin noted. Zinnias, dahlias, euphorbia, and poinsettias are examples of flowers that should be seared with a candle flame for ftfteen to thirty seconds before placing them in.water to harden . Grooming specimens is another aspect to consider when you are planning to enter specimens in a show, according to Bolin. She used the analogy of gettin~ 9)1ildren ready for church: "We scrub them clean unttHhey shine and our specimens should be cleaned the same way." Bolin offered many tips on grooming specimens. Damaged petals can be removed as long as the symmetry is not destroyed. Only remove foliage that would spoil under water. To remove dirt and bugs. from foliage and flowers, use a dam~ned Q-tip. Pollen is best removed with a camel hair brush. Spray residue should be carefully washed from roses and other.flower specimens. Foliage can be trimmed slightly to remove imperfections, she said, as long as it is not noticeable. Use tweezers to remove ray florets ftom zinnias. Dip gloriosia daisy stems in alcohol to help )ceep their heads from wilting. To help keep a specimen standing straight in the bud vase, lodge a cotton ball around it near the top of the vase, she advised. Wax or oil cannot be used on any foliage. Hanging baskets and flower pots should be cleaned. Salt residues should be removed from the soil in your potted plants. Plants should not be oouble-potted. If one item in a porch box has turned brown, replace it with a fresh specImen. Cover the soil with moss or wood chip so that it is not apparent that a plant has been replaced, she concluded. Wildwood Garden Club President Shirley Hamm read devotions titled "Someday"· and presented "Now is the Time" to seed beans, spinach, lettuce, turnips, and radish, treat the lawn fol' white grubs, apply nitrogen to strawberries, order spring bulbs and renovate or reseed bare spots in the lawn.

ANNIE'S MAILBOX Maybe Mom should get her own place Dear Annie: My 88-yearold mothe~ is Jiving with my son and his wife. Mom's tnind is good and she is very healthy, although she has used a walker since her partial hip replacement last year. The problem is, Mom has to have everyone's attention on her all the time. She thinks she is the most important person in the family and we have to accommodate her. But she's impossible to please. She bumped her back a while ago and did nothing but complain. When she was alone in a room, she was absolutely fine, but as soon as anyone walked in, she would start to moan and groan . Mom complains endlessly about my . daughter-in-law but takes full advantage of her hospitality. The other day, my daughter-in-law went to check on her and saw through the crack of the door that Mom was sitting up in her bed reading. As soon as my daughter-in-law knocked, ·Mom stashed the book and pretended to be asleep . , I have tried to talk to my mother about her demanding behavior, but there is no getting through her thick head.

It's time for the family to get together and talk with Mom about an apartment, retirement home or assisted-living facility. She could be much happier where she has friends and aclivities - and a whole new audience to impress. Dear Annie: Please settle a dispute between my husband and me. Se:veral weeks ago, I surprised him with a 50th birthday party. It was very· low key and in our backyard. Several of his friends gave him gifts. I handed him the addresses and thank-you notes for him to write out. He stated that since he is now 50, he doesn' t need to write thank-you notes, and furthermore, he didn't ask for any of the gifts. He said it was enough that he thanked everyone in person for coming. I believe that you are never too old to write a thank-you note, and since he didn't open the gifts in front of anyone, thanking the m for coming isn't sufficient. I feel bad about thi s since I initiated the party, but I have no intention of writing hi s notes myself Please advise. - Wire of Stubborn 50- __________ ___:. Year-Old Dear Wife: Bein~ gracious has no age linut, and being 50 does not entitle your husband to be rude. Of course he should write notes to every person who was thoughtful enough to bring him a present, but your husband is lazy and doesn't want to bother. He's not 6 years old, even if he acts like tt, so say nothing more. His friends will think he is lacking in manners, and they will be right. Dear Annie: I am writing in response to "Torn in Michigan," who couldn't deal with her husband's children after her own child had died . She was considering divorce. Your answer - to stay put and seek help was right, but could have been stronger. Depression is an elusive enemy. Remind your readers that the first therapist and the first medications may not be the right ones. Keep looking. Otherwi se, that grief can turn to poison, wounding all who are close to you. I suffer from recurring depression. The first time, I worked for two years in therapy, rearrangmg the mix:ed-up furniture of m~ life. The second time, anti depressants were available, but even five years later, my daughter remembers how hard it was to be mothered by a woman who was so distant from grief.

Fed rate cut les~ clear Bv RACHEL BECK AP BUSINESS WRITER NEW YORK - The arrival of September was supposed to bring more clarity to. the economic impact of the current credit crisis. Instead, each new bit of data coming out seems to be creating more confusion. The first labor market contraction in four years, as revealed Friday in a weakerthan-expected jobs report, shows that the housing and mortgage collapse is putting some strain on the economy. And the continued dislocation in commercial paper markets, where companies raise cash to fund their operations, should be taken as a warning sign - in flashing red - that more bad news may be coming. Yet plenty of good economic news still stands out. Strong August sales results from retailers and manufacturers suggest the painful credit crunch's effect on the broader ~ . S . economy has been hm1ted so far. · Anyone hopin~ that Federal Reserve pohcymakers will reduce the overnight bank . borrowing rate when they meet on Sept. 18, should not ignore the positive signs the economy is giving. Given wltat we know. now, a Fed rate cut is no sure bet; Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke has said he would only lower short-term interest rates if the economy needed a slimulus. He's not in the rate-cutting business to save finanCial market_§ from turmoil, like the volatility we've seen in the last month amid increasing evidence 6f tightening credit conditions. That knocked stocks down from record highs in a punishing decline. He also won't use lower rates to bail out hedge funds or mortgage lenders who find themselves facing tough times ·as credit conditions tightened in recent months. Plenty of CEOs from companies most troubled by the credit and housing mess - including the top brass at Countrywide Financial Corp. and Hovnanian Enterprises Inc . - have done their best in recent weeks to paint as grim a picture as possible about the overall economy. They keep saying a recession will come if the Fed doesn't act. But Bernanke and his team of central bankers can't rely on such self-interested views to direct monetary policy. They'll be spending the next week or so mulling over as much current data as they can to help them determme how the Fed should proceed. Right now, the key overnight lending rate, known as the federal funds rate, stands at 5.25 percent. It has been there since last summer after 17 quarterpoint rate increases from 2004 to 2006 to keep inflation in check as the econopiy expanded rapidly. Financial markets have been rooting for a rate cut soon - some investors even hope that the Fed knocks off as much as half a percentage point - to help ease credit conditions. Lower rates would reduce borrowing costs for everyone from potential homeowners to companies looking to finance activities and purchases. But the Fed won't make a move unless it feels it must. Current data won't make its decision any easier. The Fed 's Beige Book, which describes anecdotal economic conditions in regions around the country, showed that "weakness in the housing market deepened." And four of the 12 districts - Philadelphia, Richmond, Dallas and San Francisco - reported that the pace of economic expansion had slowed. . But the report, released on Wednesday, also noted that there has been little spillover from the financial market volatility into the overall economy. The report's first sentence said that the economy "continued to expand." . "It certainly does not rise to the sort of anecdotal deterioration that would require an immediate monetary policy response," noted Goldman Sachs ' economics team in a report to clients. Consumers, in the meantime, seem undeterred by the financial turmoil, given that the latest retail sales figures shows that they went on a back-to-school buying spree last month. Another new report, from the Institute for Supply Management, showed that the credit markets' troubles did little in August to thwart modest expansion in the manufacturing sector. At the same time, howev- Obituaries •V er, other data points'' ' ' released in recent days are " more suggestive of deceleration, said Goldman Sachs.

Fed rate cut les~ clear Bv RACHEL BECK AP BUSINESS WRITER NEW YORK - The arrival of September was supposed to bring more clarity to. the economic impact of the current credit crisis. Instead, each new bit of data coming out seems to be creating more confusion. The first labor market contraction in four years, as revealed Friday in a weakerthan-expected jobs report, shows that the housing and mortgage collapse is putting some strain on the economy. And the continued dislocation in commercial paper markets, where companies raise cash to fund their operations, should be taken as a warning sign - in flashing red - that more bad news may be coming. Yet plenty of good economic news still stands out. Strong August sales results from retailers and manufacturers suggest the painful credit crunch's effect on the broader ~ . S . economy has been hm1ted so far. · Anyone hopin~ that Federal Reserve pohcymakers will reduce the overnight bank . borrowing rate when they meet on Sept. 18, should not ignore the positive signs the economy is giving. Given wltat we know. now, a Fed rate cut is no sure bet; Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke has said he would only lower short-term interest rates if the economy needed a slimulus. He's not in the rate-cutting business to save finanCial market_§ from turmoil, like the volatility we've seen in the last month amid increasing evidence 6f tightening credit conditions. That knocked stocks down from record highs in a punishing decline. He also won't use lower rates to bail out hedge funds or mortgage lenders who find themselves facing tough times ·as credit conditions tightened in recent months. Plenty of CEOs from companies most troubled by the credit and housing mess - including the top brass at Countrywide Financial Corp. and Hovnanian Enterprises Inc . - have done their best in recent weeks to paint as grim a picture as possible about the overall economy. They keep saying a recession will come if the Fed doesn't act. But Bernanke and his team of central bankers can't rely on such self-interested views to direct monetary policy. They'll be spending the next week or so mulling over as much current data as they can to help them determme how the Fed should proceed. Right now, the key overnight lending rate, known as the federal funds rate, stands at 5.25 percent. It has been there since last summer after 17 quarterpoint rate increases from 2004 to 2006 to keep inflation in check as the econopiy expanded rapidly. Financial markets have been rooting for a rate cut soon - some investors even hope that the Fed knocks off as much as half a percentage point - to help ease credit conditions. Lower rates would reduce borrowing costs for everyone from potential homeowners to companies looking to finance activities and purchases. But the Fed won't make a move unless it feels it must. Current data won't make its decision any easier. The Fed 's Beige Book, which describes anecdotal economic conditions in regions around the country, showed that "weakness in the housing market deepened." And four of the 12 districts - Philadelphia, Richmond, Dallas and San Francisco - reported that the pace of economic expansion had slowed. . But the report, released on Wednesday, also noted that there has been little spillover from the financial market volatility into the overall economy. The report's first sentence said that the economy "continued to expand." . "It certainly does not rise to the sort of anecdotal deterioration that would require an immediate monetary policy response," noted Goldman Sachs ' economics team in a report to clients. Consumers, in the meantime, seem undeterred by the financial turmoil, given that the latest retail sales figures shows that they went on a back-to-school buying spree last month. Another new report, from the Institute for Supply Management, showed that the credit markets' troubles did little in August to thwart modest expansion in the manufacturing sector. At the same time, howev- Obituaries •V er, other data points'' ' ' released in recent days are " more suggestive of deceleration, said Goldman Sachs. "" The National Association ' ' of Realtors reported .. : Wednesday that its' pending .. home sales index tumbled ,: 12.2 percent in July, the ,; , . biggest drop on record.

About I ,800 young people are housed in Ohio's eight juvenile prisons on a given day for treatment and reform in a system that experts say fails too often, according to an investigation by The Columbus Dispatch published Sunday. Some youths leave prison, find mentors and jobs, and go on to lead productive lives, but records showed about half of all juvenile offenders returned within three years, substantially higher than the adult threeyear recidivism rate of 38 percent. The Children's Law Center, a nonprofit group based in Covmgton, Ky., says conditions are so poor at Ohio's juvenile prisons that it's filed three class-action lawsuits since 2004 against the Department of Youth Services. One . lawsuit prompted the Ohio Department of Youth Services to hire consultants for $843,840 to spend a year evaluating the entire system. The juvenile prison system is trying to help youths get the treatment they need, said Tom Stickrath, director of the Department of Youth Services. "I know we have room for improvement - unequivocally, " he said. "Every day we ask ourselves, 'What can we do better?'"

About I ,800 young people are housed in Ohio's eight juvenile prisons on a given day for treatment and reform in a system that experts say fails too often, according to an investigation by The Columbus Dispatch published Sunday. Some youths leave prison, find mentors and jobs, and go on to lead productive lives, but records showed about half of all juvenile offenders returned within three years, substantially higher than the adult threeyear recidivism rate of 38 percent. The Children's Law Center, a nonprofit group based in Covmgton, Ky., says conditions are so poor at Ohio's juvenile prisons that it's filed three class-action lawsuits since 2004 against the Department of Youth Services. One . lawsuit prompted the Ohio Department of Youth Services to hire consultants for $843,840 to spend a year evaluating the entire system. The juvenile prison system is trying to help youths get the treatment they need, said Tom Stickrath, director of the Department of Youth Services. "I know we have room for improvement - unequivocally, " he said. "Every day we ask ourselves, 'What can we do better?'" The juvenile system's budget was nearly $260 million last year, including parole and community corrections programs and money that goes to the county juvenile courts.

"It was a matter of time before everything took its loll," Slaton said. "We kept working." Marshall led 16-13 midway through the third quar- · ter and it looked like another Top 5 team was going to get ·roughed up following Michigan's loss to Appalachian Slate a week ago. "There was concern, but you don't panic," said West Virginia coach Rich Rodriguez. "You have to find out what you are doing wrong and what you can do better. Sometimes yelling will help if you don't think they are focused or playing hard. But I didn't think our players weren't playing hard. They were. We just needed to be better in some facets."

However, an incorrect scorecard was signed by a BHS player which should have resulted in a disqualification . Had that individual score been tossed out, Belpre would have totaled a team score of 181 - or II strokes worse than Meigs.

The 12th-ranked Buckeyes forced befuddled Akron to punt 14 times, including after 12 consecutive three.-and-out series, and beat the Zips 20-2 on Saturday. The statistics were as weird as the final s,rore . Akron ( 1-1) managed just three first down s and 69 yarq~ on offense - gai ning 3 net yards on 19 rushing attempts.

Stec set a school record with his busy day, averaging 41 yards. The Buckeyes (2-0) won their 30th game in a row against another Ohio college since losing 7-6 to Oberlin in 1921. But their offense turned the ball over five times and looked every bit as confused as the opposition did for much of the day. The game was played, for the most part, in dry conditions although a brief first· half cloud burst did have an effect on the ragged offenses. It was like the Snow Bowl with SO-degree temperatures. Back in 1950, a storm front blew in a · few hours before the annual showdown with Michigan, bringing with it white-out conditions and temperature s around I0 degrees.

Monday: • Monday night's game opens a new era for the Baltimore offense, which for years has relied on power back Jamal Lewis. After the Ravens allowed Lewis to sign as a free agent with Cleveland, general manager Ozzie Newsome quickly worked a trade with Buffalo to land the versatile McGahee. The Bengals aren't fooled by McGahee's lackluster preseason. They know the Fonner University of Miami star is a· threat to score on every play. whether he's running up the middle or catching a short sideline pass. "Jamal Lewis was more of a power back. McGahee is looking. to go inside and bounce outside," linebacker Ahmad Brooks s11id. "He can change the ~arrle. He can make 4 yards mto 15 yards to a touchdown. He has those capabilities." McGahee has been itching to play for a winner since he tore ligaments in his knee during his final game with Miami. He gained more than 1,000 yards rushing in his first two full seasons with the Bills and added 990 last year, but the Bills never got to the postseason. Now he 's with the Ravens, who went 13-3 last season and hope to build on that mark against Baltimore's longtime rivals in the AFC North. Being a contender means ~laying iii prime time, and alt ough<Utis game will give McGahee an opportunity to dazzle a national audi. terested .m ence. he 's more m making an impression on the 52 other guys in the locker room. "It's not about showing the Country ·, t't's about showJ'ng my teammates, just getting them behind you," he said. "When you get them behind you, y()u don't have to worry what other people think abol!l you. It's JUSt the fact of showing my teammates I deserve to be here, I want to be here and I can make plays for them." The Ravens like the swag: ger McGahee brings to the offense, and they have every reason to believe· he will be as good as advertised regardless of what occurred in those meaningless games in August. "You only play five or six . snaps·and it's hard to get into that rhythm in the running game," quarterback Steve McNair said. "But now he's going to play the whole game. We need a specific game plan to run against the Cincinnati defense and he'll have some good plays. McGahee's going to be a big factor in the running g3{Jle and help us out in t1f passing game." Ravens wide receiver Derrick Mason said, "I think he's !'oing to do a tremendous JOb. I'm not holding my breath any." · The Ravens usually removed Lewis during thirddown situations bec31Jse he wasn't much of a receiving threat. Not so with McGahee. That ability will be even more important Monday night because backup running back Mike Anderson will miss the game for personal reasons. . LSU gaining on USC in AP Top 2s; .

On fourth down, newly signed Cleveland punter Paul Ernster, replacing injured Dave Zastudil (back), let the first snap he · handled slip through his hands before scrambling to get off a 15-yarder. Cleveland was whistled for four infractions - two holds, an illegal formation and having a man downfield - on the play and the Steelers took over at the Browns 22.

Slaton got going with 32 yards on West Virginia's next series to set up White's 20-yard scoring run that put the Mountaineers ahead to stay, 20-16.

Philadelphia 75 67 .528 6 ---------------------------------------- COLUMBUS (AP) There were several reasons why Akron's offense looked so offensive against Ohio State's defense. • But there were not nearly as many reasons as there were punts by the Zips. The 12th-ranked Buckeyes beat Akron 20-2 on Saturday in a pillowfight of a football game. Both offensive units appeared to . have met each other shortly before the opening kickoff. Or were the defenses really that granite-hard? Akron punted I 4 times, including 12 in a row after going three-and-out. Ohio State'~ offense also had trouble, turning the ball over five times. There were even some boos late in the first half when they ran the ball up the middle on third and 21 from their own 18. The biggest factor in the outcome was that · the Buckeyes were good on defense. . "Their speed is a . ~ajor thing," said Akron quarterback Chris Jacquemain. "The size, the quickness. They're disciplined. They're in the right position. They're one of the best front sevens we'll see." Also, the Zips were not very good on offense. They totaled just 69 .yards on 51 plays, an average of just 1.4 yards - about halfway toward the 1960s measuring stick of 3 yartls www.mydallysentlnel.com Worthington. "Every time they get a yard, we take it personaUy." Cornerback Donald Washington also chose to ignore the safety giv.en up by the offense. "We said we were going to be aggressive and it was fun to see," he said. "We feel we put up .a shutout today." QUICK-HITTERS: .Should the Buckeyes win next week at Washington, it would be Tressel's 200th career coaching victory. He's 199-71 -2 in 22 years as a head coach. .. . Chris "Beanie" Wells' 143 yards rushing and 20 carries were both career highs. He had 11 attempts for 47 yards in the opening half. ... Akron scored on a safety for the ftrst time since 200 I against Bowling Green. ... Zips punter John Stec's 14 punts broke by one a school mark set by Bill Rudison against Virginia Tech in 1989. ... Here's Ohio State's offel)sive ·output by quarter: 65 yards in the first quarter, 50 in the second, 132 in the third and 116 in the fourth. ... A week ago, in Ohio State's 38-6 win over Youngstown State, the ternperature on the FieldTurf surface was 140 degrees. During the Akron game, it was 90 degrees. ... Akron meets another Big Ten team on Saturday wlien jt plays at Indiana. The Buckeyes travel to play Washington. · end zone. Frye gave the ball right back to the Steelers, throwing the ball directly to cornerback Deshea Townshend, who returned it to the I 7. Roethlisberger was sacked and the Steelers had to settle for Jeff Reed's 26-yard field goaL Jamal Lewis, who signed with the Browns as a free agent after seven seasons in Baltimore, helfed the Steelers open a 7-point lead. After hi s fumble, Roethlisberger found a wide-open Santonio Holmes for a 40-yard touchdown. In · the third quarter, Roethlisberger hit rookie Matt Spaeth for a 5-yard TD and later hooked up with Heath Miller from 22 yards. Devine's 12-yard TD run with I 0:28 left that put WVU ahead by douhle digits for good . Devine tacked on a I 0-yard TD run late in the game. Swapping home venues from a year ago made a big difference for the Mountaineers, who were playing in Huntington for the first time since 1915. This one wasn 't as lopsided as that 92-6 blowout . or even West Virginia's 42-10 rout last year in Morgantown . Still, the Mountaineers improved to 7-0 all time agamst their cross-state foe. "We kind .of got too bigheaded," said Marshall linebacker Josh Johnson. "We were on top of the No. 3 team in the country and we probably thought we had a victory before the victory came." ~ter CLASSIF-IED '" In One Week With Us REACH OVER .285,000 PROSPECTS E-mail classified@ mydailytribune .com To Place PLUS YOUR AD NOW ONLINE ~ribune Sentinel Ca~f~":;... {7!~2ro446!~~2 {7!~2ro992;~1~6 Word Ads t 675-1333 ..

Take away his one shining moment, a 16-yard pickup in the opener against Philadelphia, and McGah~ gained 31 yards on I 7 attempts. The NFL, however, isn't Hollywood. Which means the Ravens had absolutely no intention of showing what McGahee can really do until the curtain comes up .to start the show. The host Cincinnati Bengals can look · at all the film they want, but they won't know what it's like to face the Ravens with McGahee in the backfield until Monday night "I'm ready to work now. This is when ·it counts," McGahee said. "The preseason, you've . got to · ~et through it without gettmg hurt. That'·s over with now. ft all starts. Monday: • Monday night's game opens a new era for the Baltimore offense, which for years has relied on power back Jamal Lewis. After the Ravens allowed Lewis to sign as a free agent with Cleveland, general manager Ozzie Newsome quickly worked a trade with Buffalo to land the versatile McGahee. The Bengals aren't fooled by McGahee's lackluster preseason. They know the Fonner University of Miami star is a· threat to score on every play. whether he's running up the middle or catching a short sideline pass. "Jamal Lewis was more of a power back. McGahee is looking. to go inside and bounce outside," linebacker Ahmad Brooks s11id. "He can change the ~arrle. He can make 4 yards mto 15 yards to a touchdown. He has those capabilities." McGahee has been itching to play for a winner since he tore ligaments in his knee during his final game with Miami. He gained more than 1,000 yards rushing in his first two full seasons with the Bills and added 990 last year, but the Bills never got to the postseason. Now he 's with the Ravens, who went 13-3 last season and hope to build on that mark against Baltimore's longtime rivals in the AFC North. Being a contender means ~laying iii prime time, and alt ough<Utis game will give McGahee an opportunity to dazzle a national audi. terested .m ence. he 's more m making an impression on the 52 other guys in the locker room. "It's not about showing the Country ·, t't's about showJ'ng my teammates, just getting them behind you," he said. "When you get them behind you, y()u don't have to worry what other people think abol!l you. It's JUSt the fact of showing my teammates I deserve to be here, I want to be here and I can make plays for them." The Ravens like the swag: ger McGahee brings to the offense, and they have every reason to believe· he will be as good as advertised regardless of what occurred in those meaningless games in August. "You only play five or six . snaps·and it's hard to get into that rhythm in the running game," quarterback Steve McNair said. "But now he's going to play the whole game. We need a specific game plan to run against the Cincinnati defense and he'll have some good plays. McGahee's going to be a big factor in the running g3{Jle and help us out in t1f passing game." Ravens wide receiver Derrick Mason said, "I think he's !'oing to do a tremendous JOb. I'm not holding my breath any." · The Ravens usually removed Lewis during thirddown situations bec31Jse he wasn't much of a receiving threat. Not so with McGahee. That ability will be even more important Monday night because backup running back Mike Anderson will miss the game for personal reasons. . LSU gaining on USC in AP Top 2s; .

On fourth down, newly signed Cleveland punter Paul Ernster, replacing injured Dave Zastudil (back), let the first snap he · handled slip through his hands before scrambling to get off a 15-yarder. Cleveland was whistled for four infractions - two holds, an illegal formation and having a man downfield - on the play and the Steelers took over at the Browns 22.

Philadelphia 75 67 .528 6 ---------------------------------------- COLUMBUS (AP) There were several reasons why Akron's offense looked so offensive against Ohio State's defense. • But there were not nearly as many reasons as there were punts by the Zips. The 12th-ranked Buckeyes beat Akron 20-2 on Saturday in a pillowfight of a football game. Both offensive units appeared to . have met each other shortly before the opening kickoff. Or were the defenses really that granite-hard? Akron punted I 4 times, including 12 in a row after going three-and-out. Ohio State'~ offense also had trouble, turning the ball over five times. There were even some boos late in the first half when they ran the ball up the middle on third and 21 from their own 18. The biggest factor in the outcome was that · the Buckeyes were good on defense. . "Their speed is a . ~ajor thing," said Akron quarterback Chris Jacquemain. "The size, the quickness. They're disciplined. They're in the right position. They're one of the best front sevens we'll see." Also, the Zips were not very good on offense. They totaled just 69 .yards on 51 plays, an average of just 1.4 yards - about halfway toward the 1960s measuring stick of 3 yartls www.mydallysentlnel.com Worthington. "Every time they get a yard, we take it personaUy." Cornerback Donald Washington also chose to ignore the safety giv.en up by the offense. "We said we were going to be aggressive and it was fun to see," he said. "We feel we put up .a shutout today." QUICK-HITTERS: .Should the Buckeyes win next week at Washington, it would be Tressel's 200th career coaching victory. He's 199-71 -2 in 22 years as a head coach. .. . Chris "Beanie" Wells' 143 yards rushing and 20 carries were both career highs. He had 11 attempts for 47 yards in the opening half. ... Akron scored on a safety for the ftrst time since 200 I against Bowling Green. ... Zips punter John Stec's 14 punts broke by one a school mark set by Bill Rudison against Virginia Tech in 1989. ... Here's Ohio State's offel)sive ·output by quarter: 65 yards in the first quarter, 50 in the second, 132 in the third and 116 in the fourth. ... A week ago, in Ohio State's 38-6 win over Youngstown State, the ternperature on the FieldTurf surface was 140 degrees. During the Akron game, it was 90 degrees. ... Akron meets another Big Ten team on Saturday wlien jt plays at Indiana. The Buckeyes travel to play Washington. · end zone. Frye gave the ball right back to the Steelers, throwing the ball directly to cornerback Deshea Townshend, who returned it to the I 7. Roethlisberger was sacked and the Steelers had to settle for Jeff Reed's 26-yard field goaL Jamal Lewis, who signed with the Browns as a free agent after seven seasons in Baltimore, helfed the Steelers open a 7-point lead. After hi s fumble, Roethlisberger found a wide-open Santonio Holmes for a 40-yard touchdown. In · the third quarter, Roethlisberger hit rookie Matt Spaeth for a 5-yard TD and later hooked up with Heath Miller from 22 yards. Devine's 12-yard TD run with I 0:28 left that put WVU ahead by douhle digits for good . Devine tacked on a I 0-yard TD run late in the game. Swapping home venues from a year ago made a big difference for the Mountaineers, who were playing in Huntington for the first time since 1915. This one wasn 't as lopsided as that 92-6 blowout . or even West Virginia's 42-10 rout last year in Morgantown . Still, the Mountaineers improved to 7-0 all time agamst their cross-state foe. "We kind .of got too bigheaded," said Marshall linebacker Josh Johnson. "We were on top of the No. 3 team in the country and we probably thought we had a victory before the victory came." ~ter CLASSIF-IED '" In One Week With Us REACH OVER .285,000 PROSPECTS E-mail classified@ mydailytribune .com To Place PLUS YOUR AD NOW ONLINE ~ribune Sentinel Ca~f~":;... {7!~2ro446!~~2 {7!~2ro992;~1~6 Word Ads t 675-1333 ..

This "regular-season" finale has been full of excitement since NASCAR implemented the Chase for the championship in 2004. It sent several bubble drivers into the race needing miracles to keep their title hopes intact. But NASCAR chan~ed the fonnat this year, widerung the Chase field from 10 to 12 drivers and implementing a seeding system that awaided 10 bonus points for every regular-season victory. It diluted. the drama of this particular race and made it almost impossible for Earnhardt to race his way in. He knew it long before he arrived in Richmond, imd he seemed almost resigned to his fate from the start. It means Earnhardt won't win a championship with DEI, his late father's company. imJ?roved to 4-1-1 in TV<:; Ohto play.

POMEROY -Last night Pornc:(oy Yillage_CQU,ncil ~pproved and passed the second reildmg of an ordinance which will increase sewer rates. Councilwoman Mary McAngus voted against the reading while Council Members Ruth Spaun , George Stewart, Shawn Arnott, Pete Barnhart and Jim Sisson voted for it. Before Spaun voted fo't the second reading she shared with council some concerns she'd received from residents such as dead meters in the village and a public perception that council was .spending money on other projects when it could be used to avoid sewer rate increases. Specifically, Spaun discussed the recent decision to allow the fire department to purchase a home· to expand the department but added that money is appropriated for that specific purpose and cannot be diverted into another fund that has nothing to do with the fire department, such as the sewer depart-. ment. Spaun also said a resident guessed there were around "100 dead meters" in the village which need replaced, a number she said she confirmed with a water department employee. Mayor John Musser said he has spoken to Village Administrator John Anderson about the problem and the water department hopes to have the dead meters replaced within a year, each costing around $54 each. Musser said he hopes to look into getting a grant to eventually go .to digital readings which would eliminate the labor of reading the meters . A,similar system is already in place in Syracuse.
