Hours after House and Senate negotiators said they had reached a t€ntativc pretlawn agreement. Democrats and civ il libertarians complained that it didn't address their chief concern: the curbi og of FBI power to gather certain information by requiring the in vestigators to prove th~ slrbject's records are conn~cted to a fo(e ign agent or government. ''It gives a nod toward chscks and balances without fixing the mo~t fundamental flaws in the Patriot Act,'' said Lisa Graves of the Americans Civil Liberties Union. At least four Democratic senators announced their displeasure with the proposal, joined by Rep. John Conyers of Michigan, ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee. Senate Judiciary Committee. Chairman Arlen Specter. RPa., had hoped to reach an agreement that his counterpart, ranking Democrat Pat Leahy of Vermont, could support. But by dinnertime, .Specter had scheduled - then canceled - a news conference on the Patnot Act His office said only that negotiations were continuing. The agfecmcnt. which would make most provisions of the ex isting law permanent, was reached just before dawn Wednesday. But by midmorn. mg GOP' leaders had already made plans for a House vote on Thursday and a Senate vote by the end of the week. That would put the centerpiece of President Bush's war on terror his desk before on Thanksgiving, a month before more than a dozen provisions were set to expire. Officials · negotiating the deal described it on condition of anonymity because the draft is .not official and has not been signed by any of the 34 conferees. Any deal would mark Congress' first revision of the law passed ·a few weeks after the Sept. II terror attacks. In doing so, . lawmakers said they tried to find the nation's comfort level with expanded law enforcement power in the post-9/11 era - a task that carri es extra ·political risks for all 435 members of the House and a third of the Senate facing midterm elections next year. .

The chemical Zonyl can rub off the liner and get into food. Once in a person's body, it can break down into perfluorooctanoic acid and its salts, known as PFOA, a related chemical used· in the making of Teflon-coated ·cookware. The Environmental Protect ion Agency has been trying to decide whether to classify PFOA as a "likely" liuman carcinogen . The Food and Drug Administration, in a letter released Wednesda>' evening· by DuPont, said rt was continuing to monitor t\;le safety of PFOA chemicals in food. :The DuPont documents were made public Wednesday by the · Environmental Working Group, a research and advocacy organization. At the same time, a former DuPont chemical engineer, Glenn Evers, told reporters at a news conference at EWG's office that the company long suppressed its studies on the chemicaL "They are toxic," Evers said of the PFOA chemicals. "They get into human blood. And they are also in every one of you .. Your loved ones, yqur fellow citizens." .from 1981 to 2002, Evers hcilped DuPont develop new products.

Evers said he decided to talk publicly about the PFOA problem after filing a civil suit against DuPont thi s month in a Delaware court. · Evers' aim is mainly to "set the record straight" about the chemical and his own career, said Herb Feuerhake, Evers' lawyer But Evers said he also hoped to influence the outcome of an EPA hearing later this month on whether DuPont had withheid from' EPA the study on PFOA and possible birth defects. The company could be fined millions of dollars. After EWG tracked down Evers - who had provided expert, unpaid testimony in two lawsuits against DuPont - the 47-year-old Delaware resident said he talked it over with his priest, who told him, "'You can't dance with the . devil."' DuPont denied allegations that PFOA posed a health risk, saying the Food and Drug Administration had appr.oved the · products for. consumers. 'These products are safe for consumer use," the company $aid i'n a ·statement "FDA has approved these materials for · consumer use since the late 1960s, and DuPont has always complied with all FDA regulations and standards regarding . these products." The company .said Evers "had little if ·any direct involvement in PFOA issues while employed at DuPont ... Evers expressed a wide range For Bush, too, such a renewal would come at a sensitive time. With his approval ratings slipping in his second term , the president could bolster a tough-on-t~rrorism image. The tentative deal · would make permanent all but a handful of the expiring provisions, the sources said. Others would expire in seven years if not renewed by Congress. They include rules on wiretapping, obtaining business records under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (F!SA) and new standards for monitoring "lone wolf' terrorists who may be operating independent of . a foreign agent or power. By noon, House Democrats on the panel were issuing complaints about the seven' year expiration, arguing that since the House had endorsed the four-year expiration dates enacted as part of the Senate bill, the three provlSlons should "sunset" at four years, not .seven. They also complained that Republican negotiators shut them out of the last phase of talks, a charge Republicans deny. And they said Republicans had slipped into the bill a provision that Democrats . believe would undermine the role federal courts play in assessing state court proceedings. The draft also would impose a . new requirement that the Justice Department report to Congres~ annually on its use of national security letters, secret requests for the phone, business and Internet records of ordinary people.

T:he action came a day after the federal agency that insures such plans reported m·assive liabilities and predicted a troubled future. The Senate legislation, passed 97-2, takes on the daunting task of compellin g companies with defined-ben'efit plans to li ve up to their funding obligati ons - without driving those compan ies into abandoning . the plans and further eroding the retirement benefits of millions of people. "This bill honors a promise that we made way back in 1974" when Congress passed ) legislation to protect pensions, said Finance Committee Cha irman Charles Grasslcy. R-lowa. "If you've been promised a pension, we are going to make Sl(Te that you receive it." Broad support of the bill reflected its bipartisan origins. Grassley and the top. Democrat on the. committee. Max Baucus of Montana. crafted it with Sens. Mike Eozi, R- Wyo. , and Edward Kennedy. D-Mass. The White Hou se, in a statement, said it supported passage of the Senate bill but opposed some provisions, including extended relief for the airline industry. It warned that the president would be advised to veto any bill that resulted in weakening pension funding requirements. · The House could take up a companion bill in early December, although it remains .to be seen whether the two chambers can reach a compromise on the legislation, which runs hundreds of pages, by the end of the year. The vote came a day after the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, which insures defined-benefit plans of 44 mi Ilion people and takes over the plans of bankrupt companies, reported a deficit of $22.8 billion at the end ot the 2005 fiscal year on Sept. 30. The PBGC said it assumed responsibility for the pension benefits of an add itional 235,000 workers and retirees in 2005, bringing the total. to 1.3 million, and paid benefits of $3.7 billion, up from $3 billion in 2004. Premiums per participant. paid by compan ies, totale<) $1.5 billion. Those premiums wou ld increase from $\9 to $30 a year under the Senate bill. That legislation, unlike the House version, also would extend 'pecial relief for debtridden airlines. Bankrupt steel and airline companies have been a major source of the PBGC's mounting finan cial problems. The PBGC is now fina nced entirely by premiums and interest on investments, but there 'is growing concern that the agency may one day have to turn to . taxpayers for a bailout that could rival the Savings and Loan crisis of the 1980s. The Senate bill would give companies seven years to pay off their unfunded liabilities while changing the intere st rate formula to better reflect what those liabilities· toward future retirees will be. Companies with poor credit ratings would be required to make additional payments imo· their plans. The legislation would encourage companies to. put more money into their pen. sion plans when times are good. It would clarify the law governing hybrid plans such as cash balance plans that are gai ning in use. PBGC-covered singleemployer defined-benefit. plans, under which workers receive monthly benefits based on their salaries .and length of service, fell from 95,000 in 1980 to 30,000 in 2004 as .more companies either stopped offering plans or switched to 40 I(k)-type programs.

It's none too soon. Unanswered charges from top Democrats and other cri tics suc h as former Ambassador Jo se ph Wilson, plus the indictment of Vice President Cheney's ex-chief of staff, have caused Bush to lose his once-strong repu tation with the public for trustworthiness and hon esty. The latest NBC -Wall Street Journal poll showed that 57 percent of U.S. adults believe that . B. ush "dehberately mi sled" the nation about the case for war. And 78 percent believe th'at others besides Libby "may have acted illegally." On Nov. I. Senate Minority Lead·e r Harry Reid, D-Nev .. · · alleged, despite specific statements to the contrary from Special Counsel t;'atrick Fitzgerald, that "the Libby indictment provides a window into what this is really about: how the administration manufactured and manipulated intelligence in order to sell the war in Iraq and attempted · to destroy those who dared . challenge it~ actions." And as late as last Thursday_, Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., · charged that "in his march to war, President Bush exaggerated the · threat to the American · people . ... It was pure, unadulterated fear-mangering, based oh . a de vi- . ous strategy to convince the American people that Saddam Hussein's abil.ity to provide · nuclear weapons to AI Qaeda jus,- Morton Kondrack e tified immediate war." ' Wilson has claimed specifically that . Bush indulged in "lies and disinformation" in his 2003 State of the Union address by' s aying that Britain had provided eviderice that Hussein sought uranium i'n the African country of Niger. Democrats and Wilson charge that top , White House aides then purposely leaked "classified information" -- the identity of Wilson's wife, CIA operative Valerie Plame -to punish Wilson. Libby was indicted not for the disclosure, but for allegedly lying to authorities about his conversati01l s with journalists. The administration's public "push-back" campaign began on. Thursday' with a White House briefing by National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley, followed by Bush's own Veterans Day · speech Friday in Tobyhanna, Pa. "While it is perfectly legitimate to criticize my decision or the conduct of the war," Bush said, "it is deeply irresponsible to rewrite the history of how that war began. "The stakes are too high, the national. interest too important, .for politicians to throw out false charges·. These baseless attacks send the. wrong signal to our troops and an enemy that is ques-. tioning America's will." There will be additional remarks from Bush, leading up to the Dec. 15 parliamentary elections in the United Nations in Iraq.

The Christmas classic will delight and entertain adults and children alike as it fills the audiences with the Christmas spirit and reminds them of those few brief days .that transform the world into a happier, peaceful place. The joy of Christmas is never more evident than in "The Nutcracker." This whim sical ballet brings beautiful fantasies, sugar plum dreams and waltzing tlowers to a very large adoring public. Parties, church celebrations, family and friends and "The Nutcracker" are all part of the American Christmas experience . The . MOVB has toured extensively throughout a fourstate region since 1981 presenting "The Nutcracker" to audieces of over 500,000 including thousands of public school children throughout West Virginia and Ohio. The classic full-length version of the ballet was first presented in St. Petersburg, Russia, in 1892. Original music composed exclusively for the ballet was written by P.L Tchaikovsky and original choreography was set by M. Petipa and L)vanov. The music has become a timeless classic heard in commercials and ijlalls as well as in concert halls around the world. "The Nutcracker" doll himself has also become a symbol of the holiday season and many ballet companies have their· own adaptation· of this heart-wannin'g story. Based on the book by Bv JOE McDONALD ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER 'Nutcracker~ ' BEIJING - China reported its first human cases of bird flu on the mainland Wednesday, including at least one fatality, as health workers armed with vaccine and disinfectant raced to inoculate l:ltllions of chickens and other ~ultry in a massive camPJ!ign to contain the virus. oThe World Health organization confirmed the \11rulent strain experts fear oould' cause a worldwide flu (litndemic has now infcct~d 110mans in the world's most populous nation . · :.China's Health Mini stry r~ported confirmed cases of ipfection with the deadly HSN I sll'ain in a JlOUitry worker, who d_ied, and a 9-ycar-old boy, who fell ill in central Hunan province but recovered, the olttcial Xinhua News Agency . said. It said the boy's 12-yeardld sister, who died, was rlil;:orded as a suspected case. ::J<:xperts worry the virus ~uld spread and mutate in <!Pina due to its huge poitltry to local stage tlocks and their contact with humans. It also has migration routes for geese and other wild birds that might carry the disease. "This is a psychologically telling moment for a country thm has never had bird tlu cases in the past in humans," said Roy Wadia, a WHO spokesman in Beijing. "This will .drive home to citizens a~ros s the country that tl1is can happen in our own backyards," he said. "It's a very real threat.'' Officials had warned a human infection in China was inevitable after ihe country suffered II outbreaks in poultry over the past month, which prompted authorities to destroy millions of birds. Elsewhere in Asia, the H5N I strain has infected at least 126 people and killed at least 64 of them since 2003 , two-thirds of them in Vietnam . Nevertheless, WHO spokeswoman Maria Cheng in Geneva said the Chinese cases do not increase the risk of a tlu pandemic because there has been no observed genetic change in the virus and no apparent spread between people . She said it would not be surprising if more human bird flu cases are confirmed in China. "There are a lot of chickens infected and there's a lot of contact between humans and chickens in Chi1ia," she said. The Chinese government announced plans Tue sday to vaccinate all the country 's 14 billion domestic fowl. It wasn' t clear how · long that would take. According to Chinese health officials, vuecimning chickens can require repeated injections and booster shots. State televi sion showed workers at industrial ' scale poultry farms jabbing chickens with injccto,r guns. Health experts in Geneva said shots were the most reliable way to deliver vaccine, . although it can also be adrninisterec:\ by mixing it in the animals' feed. Officials in Liaoning in China's northeast, scene of four outbreaks, said they have finished a vaccination program begun this month for the province's 320 million birds .

Three other soldiers were k,illed Tuesday in a roadside bombing in the same area. But it- was unclear if the soldier who died Wednesday was injured in the same attack. The six deaths made Wednesday the deadlic~t day for American forces in Iraq since Nov. 2, when seven service members died in four separate attacks. At least 51 U.S. service members have already died in Iraq this month. "For the Marines, it was the worst single-day loss since they launched an · offensive Nov. 5 to push al-Qaida-led insurgents from a series of towns along the Euphrates River used by foreign fight ers to slip into the country from Syria. A Marine statement did not give any details pf the Wednesday losses, and names of the victims were withheld pending notification of their families. They were assigned to Regimental Combat Team ·2:of the 2nd Marine Division. However, a New York . Times reporter traveling with L!.S. forces said an explosion occurred as a squad entered a farm h@luse in Obeidi, 185 miles northwest of Baghdad. Insurgents then racked survivors and rescuers with small arms and grenade fire before other Marine s could recover the dead and wounded and .kill the attackers, the newspaper said. ·Eleven Marines were wounded in the ambush , according to Times reporter. The Marine statement confirmed the five deaths but made no mention of wounded. The military also said 16 insurgents were confirmed kHied in the fighting . · The statement confirmed . that U.S. and Iraqi forces were meellng ''strong resistance" in Obeidi - the third town attacked during the Operation Steel Curtain offensive becau se insurgents there :'believe they are trapped and · have nowhere else to go.'' ,,The latest deaths brought to at least 2,07.9 the number of U.S. service members who have died since the beginning o£ the Iraq war in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count. U.S. official s say the ot'fensi~e near the Syrian border is aimed in part at encouraging Sunni Arabs to vote in tile Dec . 15 parliamentary elections without fear of inst1rgent reprisals . The Bush admini str:ltion hopes a successfu I ' election will encourage many in the Sunni community to abandon the insurgency. However, Sunni Arab anger welled up Wednesday following revelations by the Shiite prime minister that 173 detainees, malnourished and some showing signs of torture, had been found in an Interior Ministry building seized by U.S. troops in Baghdad last weekend. Most were believed to be Sunni Arabs. Prime Minister Ibrahim al- . Jaafari promised a full investi- . gation and punishment for anyone guilty of torture.

One of the sport's biggest promoters, Bob Arum, said he sup· ported the federal intervention, but worried about the consequences.

Perennial reserve Sage Rosenfels found himself surrounded in the locker room by n·otebooks and TV cameras, which could only mean one· thing: The Miami Dolphins' starting quarterback is hurt. Rosenfels took most of the snaps iri pra~:tice Wednesday because Gus Frerotte is nursing a sprained right index finger and is listed as questionable · - ' 50-SO - for Sunday's game at Cleveland. The situation is familiar for Rosenfels , even though he has started only one NFL game. "Thi s is my fourth year here," he said, "and I've been in t)lis position 20 times probably where the starter isn' t 100 percent healthy." Frerotte hurt his . finger when it hit the helmet of a blitzing linebacker in the first half of last Sunday's loss to New England. He received an injection at halftime, threw 30 times in the second half and finished with 360 yards passing, his highest total in five years. Despite the performance, Miami (3-6) lost for the fifth time in six games. Fans have clamored during the skid for Rosenfels to replace Frerotte, who ranks 28th in the NFL in passing. "We have the same kind of confidence in Sage that we do with Gus," said running back Ronnie Brown. Despite the travails of quarterbacks Jay Fiedler, A.J. Feeley and Brian Griese in recent years, former Dolphins coach Dave Wannstedt never gave Rosenfels a crack at No. I. After Wannstedt quit last season, Rosenfels started with some of the other sports," Davis said. "Hockey, in our judgment, has a fairly weak system." The NHL didn't test for steroids ,until the current season, and the league and union think they're on the right track, with players' association executive director Ted Saskin say ing Wednesday: "Our policy will ensure that ·Fedorov "He 's a Nic Lidstrom-type of year-old Nikolai Zherdev.

"They told me one thmg and dtd another," he satd. "We call that lying." Dolphins first-year coach Nick Saban explained that Edwards was one of three players the club considered taking with the ptck . He denied ever promiSing Edwards he would take him . "I never said that, and I don't know who in this orgamzat10n did," Saban sa td . "We have nothmg but respect for Braylon I apologtze to anyone who was hurt by that. I dtdn 't do it. I didn' t have knowledge of it. " • On Monday, Edwards said it was time the Browns started using his playmaking skills better. In Sunday mght's 34-21 loss at Pittsburgh, Edwards caught just two passes - both m the fourth quarter - for 64 yards. "I can make plays," satd Edwards, whose 17 catches m mne games match 'hts jersey number "That's why I was drafted. That 's why I'm here And sooner or later, they have to gtve me a chance to do that. " Edwards doesn't regret making the comments. "Obviously, thmgs were said Monday that I don ' t take back," he said "That pretty much ended it " Crennel said Wednesday www.mydailysentinel.com ~rlhune- that he doesn't have any problem with Edwards' assertions and understands his frustration at not making plays. However, Crennel was unusually short after dealing with another barrage of questions about hts talented player. "We've worked htm in and we will continue to work him in and there is no tssue and no problem with Bray Ion," Crennel said. "We are on the same page. The coach makes the decision and the player plays." Crennel feels there is no · need to speak with Edwards specifically about his giveme-the ball comments. "I told him he did a nice JOb of stating that I was the head coach and he was the player," Crennel said. "He's a young kid and young kids sometimes go off the handle, they fly off the handle. But he's not a bad kid." Edwards appears to have support m Cleveland's locker room, and wtll continue to, as long as he backs up his talk. "That's just Braylon," tight end Aaron Shea said. "He's confident. If he's going to say that, then show 11 on the fteld." That's all Edwards ts asking for a chance to do, and he hopes the opportunity comes against the Dolphins In the meantime, he doesn't feel any need to explam his latest comments to Crennel. "I think tt's m the past already," he said. "He has not come up to me personally about 1t. When I look at it, I don't think anything was wrong with it. I haven't heard anything negative. I just want to make plays." For fast results, advertise in The Daily Sentinel classifieds!
