NATION • WORLD- The Daily Sentinel Monday, February 21,2005 ron BRUSSELS , Belgium (AP) - President Bush sought to repair rocky relations with Europe on Sunday, saying "no power on earth will ever divide us." He urged allies lo move be yond differences over Iraq in the interest of Mideast peace. "As past debates fade and great duties become clear, let us begin a new era of transAtlantic unity."' Bush will say in ·a speech on Monday. Appealing for aid for Iraq , he mges the world's democracies ''to give tangible,political. economic and security assistance tb the world's newest democracy." . Excerpts of his address were released on his arrival here. Hoping to set a more conciliatorv tone for his scc·ond term , Bush will ineet over five days with some of his toughest cntics: French Preside1it Jacques Chirac ' and Gen)lan Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder. both ot' whom fiercely opposed the U.S. led mvas10n. Bush also will see Russian President Vladimir Put in , who has alarmed the West with Moscow 's retreat from democracy. . Monday 's speech, the main address of his trip. is a concil.iatory message aimed at citizens across Europe , where Bush is widely disliked. '·Today. America and Europe face a moment of consequence and Clpportunity," the president will -say. "Together we can once again set history on a hopeful course - away from poverty and despair and toward development and the dignity of self-rule ... away from resentment and violence and toward justice and the peaceful settlement of difference~." Bush's visit was intended to soothe allies frustrated that their views on issues from lrilq to global warming were often ignored by the White House. Bush said that the Europe~n- lever us' American alliance is essential for security and global trade andoffersofmodeloffreedom for the rest of the world. . ''In aH (hese ways, our ~trong friendship is essentialto peace . and prosperity a<:ross the globe - and no temporary debate, no passing disagreement of governments. no power on earth will ever divide us," Bush will say. ··our greatest opportunity and our im1:nediate goal is . peace in the Middle East,:' the president will say. An alliance of 88 environmental, human ri ghts. peace and other groups planned two days of protests in Bmssel s, beginning Monday, to demand "no European complicity'' in a U.S.-designed world order. . Brussels police readied 2,500 officers - 1.000 more than the ·usual number for the three or fou,r summit meetings that bring European Union leaders to the Belgian capital every year. · · While seeking to move past old divi sions, Bush and European lea.ders still face major differences. Washington opposes Europe's plans to lift a ISyear-old arms embargo against China.

'214.21 Monday, ·February 21, 2005 Explaining the Euro-Arab axis It was just a coincidence that "Eurabia: The EuroAtab Axis" (Farleigh Dickinson University Press) appeared in the man the same day a New York Times article on the subject of Eurabia lande<l on the doorstep. ' "Eurabia," the long-awaited book by Bat Ye'or, is a comprehensive, even overwhelming and absolutely shocking explication of how and why it is that Europe is transforming itself into what the Egyptian-born historian calls "a new geopolitical entity . - Eurabia." The New York Times article, on the other hand, a muddled analysis by Craig S. Smith about the "fear of Islamists'' and · the - "far right" in Belgium, is one more illustration of how desperately Bat Ye'or's trailblazing work is needed. Few of us have the longview vision to make sense of the sweep of history as it smokes past our eyes; Bat . Ye'or, as a historian of Islam, a11d, in particular, the dhimmi (the non-Muslim peoples who live as second-class citizens· under Islamic rule). has preCisely the laser-lens required. She also has the fortitude of the historian/gumshoe to wade . throug.h the stacks of articles, memoranda and conference declarations generated by something called the EuroArab Dialogue (EAD). Created 30-odd years ago at the instigation of Frani:e and the Arab League, the practi- Diana West cally unknown EAD has pro"'ided structural and theoretical underpinnings to a EuroAtab axis - Eurabia. These have fostered the political, economic and cultural bonds between Europe and the Atab world that Bat Ye'or maintains were designed to create "a global alternative to American power." How? Very basically and this is detailed in the book - . by shepherding a meeting of Euro-Arab minds, first and foremost, on the Arab League war on Israel. This would come about in exchange for freely flowing Arab oil into Europe, which would come about in exchange for freely flowing . Muslim immigration into Europe, which would come abo.Ut in exchange for research and development and labor and education and tourism and cultural ties 'between the Europe and the Arab world ... which would all come about with an increasing independence of (and, indeed, hostility toward) America. This goes a long way toward explaining the behav-. ior of Old Europe - the one of his interviewees, a heart of Eurabia - sinc.:e son and grandson of · Sept. II.

Bill Seitz, a Cincinnati Republican and proponent of past gambling proposals, wants the approach to be different in the session that began in January. It will be difficult, he acknowledged, for consensus to be found among groups that historically have put their . own interests first.

During a discussion of examinations, the authors recommend: "Do not on any account attempt to write on both sides of the paper ·at once." At the bridge table, a contract is . rarely makable purely by cashing top-trick winners. Usually, one has to establish extra !ricks. And a common source of these extr'as is a long side suit This week, let's look at turning low cards into winners. and coordinate that with a p_ eek at percent· ages. This deal ought not to be too taiCing, You a're South, in three i1o-trump. How would you .plan the play after West leads tlie heart king? North raises to three no-trump on the bas1s that it is usually easier to win nine tricKs than 11, especially when neither hand has a singleton or void . First, count your top tricks. Here , there are seven: two spades, one heart , two diamonds and two clubs. Obv1ously. you need to work on dummy's diamonas. This means aSsuming that the missing diamonds are splitting 3-2, not 4-1 or 5-0. Next. "you should hold up at trick one . This is called the Bath Coup because it was first recognized in Bath, England, in the days of whist. (Bo_ th 8re pronounced bahth, not bath.) If West leads a second heart, you get two tr_icks in the suit. If West shifts, you stilt have a heart stopper. (Note that if you win the first trick, you go down, East pushing a heart through when in with his diamond trick.) You take trick two and immediately duck a diamond. Then you coast to at least t 0 tricks . ' 7:00AM • 8:00 PM ~;;;;;;;:"~''li~l;mo;.pd; PICTURE THIS!! Prufaslonal PhotQ~n~pby & Vtdeography Any occuion·Portrail Snslons, Weddings, Families.

DENVER (AP) Primping. preening, p.Iayful and preposterous, The Big Entertainer gave the NBA AllStar game a supersized dose of personality though he wouldn't go so far as to do it while wearing a shoe phone. For the second straight year. Shaquille O'Neal made people laugh, applaud and appreciate his oversized way of doing everythi ng, infusing an otherwise nondescript All-Star game Sunday . night with just the right amount of precociousness. He danced as he was intraduced, struck a pose before. 1nissir\g a foul shot and goofed with the rap stars and hip-hop artists who lined the front-row seats across from. the Eastern Conference bench.

But if MVP stood for Most Vibrant Personality, this one· was a runaway decided squarel;r in favor of the 360-pound. 7toot behemoth who was making his 12th appearance in the league's showcase event. O'Neal's display of showmanship came . after he unveiled his size-22 red and white shoe phone in the locker room before the game. An actual working telephone mechanism is built into the sneaker, and an antenna pops out near the toes. " It's big, you can take it anywhere. make people look at · you," O'Neal.said. "And it prevents muggers. Kick them right in the (be hind) with that Shaq shoe phone. "There's an addition at the top where you can pull out the · strings and make it a Shaqshoe handbag and phone all-inane." The silliness O'Neal displayed and the reception he received were in stark contrast to the way things went for his former teammate, Kobe Bryant. Bryant finished with better · numbers and was the most intense player on the court during the founh quarter, but thi s show was clearly not his. Bryant, who was accused of rape in Colorado two summers ago before the charges were dropped last September, was the only player booed during pre-game introductions. O'Neal. Iverson and Vince Carter received the loude st ovations, and O'Neal played to the crowd by. strutting down the runway wearing a huge smile. "Leave it to Shaq to do something like that." teammate Dwyane Wade said. "He's always doing something to keep fans involv.ed." O'Neal and Bryant ignored each other but exchanged hugs and hand slaps with the other starters as they stood at the center circle for the opening tip. They first came into contact with each other midway through the quarter when O'Neal poked the ball away from Bryant as he drove, only to be ~ailed for a foul. O'Neal nearly howled in disgust. yet another of the many contortions his face and body made throughout the Flight. When he went to the free throw line in the first quarter after driving around Yao Ming and dunking, he held the.ball in his right hand, placed his left hand on his hip - striking a pose, as the fashionistas sayas he shot the ball one-handed. .Naturall y, given O' Neal 's history as a poor. foul shooter, he missed. LeBron James and Iverson teamed up .on the prettiest play of the first quarter, an alley-oop dunk by the 20-year-old Cleveland guard who became the second-youngest All-Star · stmter in NaA history. The crowd'limghed at Bryant when his off-the-backboard pass to Kevin Garnett on a 2on-1 brellk failed to lind its target; th ough they oohed in appreciation when Bryant, who is right-handed. banked in a 14-footer shooting it lefty. Bryant again wowed the crowd late in the second quarter by reachi-ng behind his head to catch an alley-oop pass from Steve Nash and slamming it through. But by fm; the best dunk of . the quarter came when Carter drove the ·middle and tosseq it hard oft· the backboard before catching the ball aod jamming it with two hands. 0 ' Neal went to the line once more, midway through the third quarter, and displayed his usual form - or lack thereof - in .missing two more free throws as the ball came ot'r his hand with sidespin on the tirst one and topspin on the second. James got free for a breakaway inoments later one-hand- . ed slam that pleasing ro the eye but nothing extraordinary by All-Star game standards. and the third quarter ended with the East leading 95-89 behind 13 points apiece-from Iverson and James. Wade h·ad a breakaway reverse dunk early in the final period to put the East ahead I02-93. After Bryant hit a pair of 3-pointers to close the West to II 0-105, Shaq bounded off the bench to return . The West never pulled close, and the . game ended with 0 ' Neal getting to attempt a 3pointer. It missed, but it didn 't matter. The showman had gotten the last moment in the spotlight.
