'The Americans will co ntinue to control from their bases, but the sons or the land will be the authority. This is the democracy. We will have no pretexts.' No ' pretexts' for violence and anarchy, that is. Which, to the average terrorist with a totalitarian dream, is a cataclysm.

From White House briefing transcripts, for example, I counted only one question about the AI Qaeda memo and well over I 00 questions and interjections about the president's Guard record. Why the focus on Yietnani? · Part of !he reason is that Obituaries John Kerry, the presumpti ve Democratic nominee, is asking the American people to judge him as a Vietnam War hero; u mult i-medal=winncr; a man who, as he frequently reminds u s, knows 'something about aircraft carriers for real.

' If George Bush wants to make thi s electio n about nati onal security,' Kerry has suid. ' I have three words for him he'll understand . Bring. lt. On .'

Woods said the scientific goal of the project was to test a theory that increasing the amount of calcium surrounding an equine embryo would cause cells to grow more rapidly and, thus, improve equine cloning. Dirk Vanderwall, a veterinarian who is part of Woods' team , said that using the enhanced calcium level s, the team produced 21 pregnancies from 113 embryos. Only three pregnancies lasted longer than 60 days and those produced the three mule clones. "The manipulation of calcium concentrations to achieve success in equine cloning may have implications for other assisted equine reproduction techniques," sa id Woods . "Increasing intracellular cal- cium in horses may increase their fertility in general.'' Woods said that he became interested in the effects of calcium levels in cells because he found a possible link between intercellular calcium and cancer. Calc ium concentrations in the red blood cells of horses are 2.3 times less than in human red blood cell s. Calcium concentrations outside of the red blood cells, however, are 1.5 greater m horses than in humans. ,, Q. Sometimes I hear the tenn "F-ICA" in connection with Social Security. What's FICA? A.

The anterior cruciate ligament, or ACL, tears more often among female athletes, experts said. ·" It's really an epidernic for girls," said Dr. Frank Mannarino, a Dayton orthopedist who fixes between 170 and 190 ACLs a year. "It's just terrible. You can' t find a girls soccer or basketball teani at the hi~h school or college level without one or two girls wearing ACL braces." One in 40 female high school athletes tears the ACL. according to . a 1999 study commissioned by Children's Hospital in Cincinnati. Mannarino said hi s female patients outnumber males three-to-one. Differences in musculature and nmning style are largely responsible for the difference, doctors said. " "Wider pelvis," Mannarino said. "The leg .is more in a knock-kneed posture compared to a guy's. And the notch of the femur, where the ACL comes in from the tibia, may be more narrow." The injuries have grown along with females ' increased . 'involvement in athletics.

Pomeroy to apply for funding to expand boat docking BY CHARLENE HOEFLICH HOEFUCH@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY - With the Department of Natural Resources havi ng $3.3 mil · Iion in grant funds to be awarded this year for boating access facility projects, Pomeroy will agai n apply fo r funding to complete boat docking and a handicapped ramp below the levee. The first section of the docks was completed with an ODNR grant of $328,000 in 200 I, secured under the lead· ership of Mayor John Musser. who was then project director for the village. It consists of 360 feet of I0 foot wide se lf-supporting boat docking along the lower parking lot wall. Applications for add itional funding to complete all three additional phases of the same project- docking above and below the levee with handi· capped ramps at both ends, a pp~ox imate ly $986,000 made by the village in 2002 and 2003 were not granted. Applications for a portion of the 2004 total allocation are being taken through April I by the Department of Natural Resources. Musser s~id that the village will ap ply tor about $250,000 which would provide funding to construct another 90 feet of docking below that completed in 200 I and a handicapped ramp on the outside of the par~ing lot wall. 'To ac hieve the proper elevation, the ramp which would extend from the river to West Main would have to zigzag up the hill," said the mayor. According to ODNR the program which is funded through the Ohio Waterways Safety Fund and admini'stered by the ODNR Division of Watercraft. has provided nearl y $60 million for boat· ing access projects si nce 1960. " It is one of several that return dollars to improve waterways and enhance boat· ing opportuni ties - thereby t;>enefiting all boaters," said Kim Alvey, chief of the ODNR Divisi•on df Watercraft .
