They decided very quickly that Ron Zook would be a good rit for their team. Turns out athletic direclor Ron Guenther agree.d. Zook became Illinois' 22nd head football coach Tuesday, and promised to turn around a program that has struggled to just four victories in the past two seasons. "Once we heard the name Ron Zook, he was, I think, the players' choice," defensive tackle Ryan Matha said. "He's the guy that all the players wanled to come in here. I know Mr. Guenther probably didn't know that, but it all worked out well." Running back E.B. Halsey said he spent some time watching Zook's video highlights. "You could just see that energy that he 's going to bring to the sideline," Halsey said. " I saw (in) one clip he had to chest bump one of the players. Everybody's excited for that." Zook, 50,' takes over a program that Guenther decided had "reached a point of no return" in the recruiting department. The lllini have won only five Big Tuesday.

When Urban Meyer moved from Notre Dame to Bowling Green to Utah in five vears, he explained the relocations to his three children by telling them he was like a mountain climber trying to get to the top. After accepting the Florida job last week, his 6-year-old son simply asked. "Daddy, are you there yet'r Meyer smiled and responded, '·Yes. this is the top." · Few would disagree. The former Utah coach was formally introduced at Florida on Tuesday, getting a campus tour and meetmg hts new team for the tirst time since agreeing to a seven-year, $14 million contract. He said all the right things, too. He talked about winnino championships. praised coach Steve Spunier and said he has no aspirations to coach in the NFL. He even took shots at Florida State and Tennessee. recalling famed Spunier lines about ·'Free Shoes University" and "You can 't spell Citrus with UT." · 'This is a place you can put your feet down hopefully for a long time," he said. Although Meyer will coach the fitih-ranked Utes against No. 19 Pittsburgh in the Fiesta Bowl. he alreadv has started working for the Gators. He called recruits over the weekend and began what will be a difficult month of transition from one program to the other. He spent the weekend celebrating his team's Bowl Championship Series berth. had dinner with Aorida athletic director Jeremy Foley on Monday and flew to Gainesville on a private jet with hi s wife and three children Tuesday morning. Then he got a complete tour, capped by a visit to Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. His eyes widened as he walked into "The Swamp;' and noticed references to the six Southeastern Conference ti ties, the two Heisman Trophy winners and the 1996 national championship. He also .saw an altered photo of himself wearing an orange and blue Gators jacket - on both scoreboards along with a welcome message. He already knew expecta-· tions would be high, but his trip into the recently renovated stadium made it a reality. "Is it the toughest conference in the country? Absolutely.

This is a celebration of the binh of Jesus Christ - for many, the most tremendous event in all of history. It is through Christ's appearance thai God comes down to Earth. and joy and salvation come to humankind. Until Christ is born (in us), we "sit in darkness ." But with his appearance (in our consciousness), our redemption (the answer to all our human problems) draws nearer. Why then do we still have so many problems? Phillips Brooks hints at the answer in the carol "0, Little Town of Bethlehem." which he wrote in 1868 for the children of his Sunday school at Holy Trinity Church in Philadelphia: "0, little town of Bethlehem. How still we see thee lle ... " We find Christ in the still ness. This doesn't mean that by buying earplugs or relaxing in a quiet place will lead to an experience of God. It means shutting our minds, not only our ears, to the din and clamor of the material world so that healing thoughts of Christ will George Plagenz have a chance to come in and bless our lives. The trouble with. our usual way of meditatin g is that we let our minds dw ell too much on the human problem, and not enough on the divine solution. In spiritual medi tati on. we imagine what the situation confronting us would be like in heaven - the world of perfection. We lose ourselves in the glory of that world, see ourselves there enjoying the harmony, joy and peace that exist. We do this until all thought of the materi al . world leaves us and a won derful stillness comes over us. This is the stillness in which Christ is born in us. bringing the presence of God - or goodness - into our human experience. Let's consider thi s line from the carol: "...

The cost ·of Kyoto We are subjected to a constant drumbeat of propaganda about' the supposedly dire results of "global warming " - an alleged increase in the planet' s surface temperature, some uncenain portion of which is claimed to be caused by emissions of carbon dioxide resulting from human economic activities. All sons of ecologicaf catastrophes, real and imaginary, are attributed to this development -- from the melting of the Arctic and Antarctic icecaps and the retreat of various glaciers to the potential extinction of numerous plant and animal species whose habitats are affected. The fact that Earth's tem perature has varied over the centuries and millennia by far more than the largest changes predicted by the global-warming hysterics is disregarded. We are warned that, if we do not maintain the earth's temperature at precisely its present level. life as we know it may well become vinually unlivable. And the only way to do this is to stop the human ceo, nomic activities that are supposedly contributing to the warming. In practice, thi s comes down to sharply cutting back on economic activities in the United States.

McKnight said. Candidates differ on issues, unite on recount Bv JOHN McCARTHY ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER COLUMBUS- One presidential candidate was a wayward Democrat. The other abhorred politics until he found the party of just-theessentials government. Together, David Cobb of the Green Party and Michael Badnarik of the Libenarian Party collected less than l percent of the national vote on Nov. 2. However, that has not suppressed their desire to get pivotal Ohio to count its votes again and expose what they see as grave discrepancies in the state's election process. While they agree on few policies or in their ideas of what government should do, they have united in 'the cause of election integrity and third-pany respect. On Oct. 8, Cobb and Badnarik were arrested after crossing a police line outside the second presidential debate between President Bush and John Kerry in St. Louis. They were protesting their exclu' sian from the debates: Their Her wishlist is at cases are pending. Cobb and Badnarik on Tuesday began formally requesting a recount of the presidential vote in Ohio's 88 counties. While neither candidate hopes 10 emerge the winner - Badnarik got 14,695 votes, Cobb 186 as a write-in - both say a recount will expose irregularities in Ohio's election system. The state 's 20 electoral votes went to Bush and secured his election. Critics have cited voters waiting in line five hours or more, the high number of rejected provisional ballots in the Cleveland area, a surplus of 3,893 votes for Bush in a precinct with a precinct where 638 votes. actually were cast and other irregularities. Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell says while some glitches occurred as they do in every electioN, the recount will not expose widespread fraud because there was none. Cobb, 4 I , worked his way out of poverty in coastal Texas and put himself through law school. He proudly points out that he was the only candidate this year who grew up without a flush toilet. He became interested in politics by working on the Rev. Jesse Jackson's campaigns for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1984 and 1988. His infatuation with the Democrats didn't last. ''I realized that big corporate money had so thoroughly hijacked that party, that progressive politics, the kind of politics based on values, racial and social justice and fairness and environmental protectjon couldn't be done becau se corporations have completely hijacked the Democratic Party." Cobb said.

Nathan Gale also tried to talk music at a tattoo parlor in his hometown where he made workers and customers uneasy. An imposing figure, Gale was on the offensive line for the Lima Thunder, a semi-pro team in· northwest Ohio in a league that plays weekly in the summer, coach Mark · Green said. Police say Gale, 25, charged on stage at Alrosa Villa nightclub in Columbus and opened fire Wednesday as the band Damageplan began its set. Guitarist Darrell Abbott, who was killed, formerly was in the popular 1990s metal band Pantera. Gale listened to Pantera on his headphones before games during his one season with the Lima team, Green said. "You wou)dn 't look at him and think he was capable of doing something . like this," Green said . "It wasn't like he was a loner." Green, who also owns a car lot, said he saw Gale two days ago when he made a payment for a car he bought from Green Jhree weeks ago. Nothing seemed unusual, he said. At the Bears Den Tattoo Studio in Marysville, Gale made people feel uncomfortable by staring at them and forcing them into a conversation, manager Lucas Bender said. "He comes in here and likes to hang out when he's not wanted,'' Bender said. 'The most pointless conversations." Gale never mentioned Damageplan or Pantera, Bender said. "I tried to ·stay busy and avoid him," he said.

Gale then got very angry and started yelling at him, he said. "Last night was actually the first time I noticed his temper," Toler said. "After the argument we had he kind of walked out with an attitude. He didn't even say goodbye." Toler said Gale did not mention that he was going to the concert. Gale was a member of Fraternal Order of the Eagles lodge in Marysville, but always came in alone and talked to only a few people , said Charlie Modena, a member of the lodge, where Gale 's mother is a bartender. "He always seemed real quiet and usually drank Pepsi," Modena said. Modena said he hadn't seen Gale at the lodge in about a week. ''He never caused any problems," said Modena, adding he never spoke with Gate. No one answered the door Thursday at the Marysville home of Gale's mother, Mary Clark. A message was left on her cell phone. Gale had several minor runins with police since 1997, including arrests for trespassing and driving with a suspended license, but wasn't considered a troublemaker, assistant police chief Glenn Nicol said. Gale was charged with receiving stolen property in 2000 after taking scales from Industrial Ceramics Products in Marysville and was fired, Nicol said. Gale's apartment sits above a gift shop. diner, coffee shop, a cell phone store and empty store fronts near Main Street in this city of about 16,000 people 25 miles northwest of Columbus. Columbus police sear.ched his apartment Thursday. Nicol said. Columbus police spokesman Sgt. Brent Mull declined comment. Gale had red hair that was cut very close, often wore a winter hat and was always wearing a Columbus Blue Jackets hockey jersey. said Mandi Dellinger, who works at a cell phone store on the same block where Gale lives. Regulators rejec~ bids for power for FirstEnergy customers BY JOHN McCARTHY ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER COI.UMBUS - State regulators on Thursday rejected bids on the price of electricity for customers of FirstEnergy Corp., putting the utility's 2.1 million customers under its own pricing plan beginning in 2006.

FirstEnergy's plan, approved by the commission this fall, will keep customers' rates essentially the same through 2008. FirstEnergy customers currently pay some of the state's highest electric bills. Ohio Consumers' Counsel Janine Migden-Ostrander. the stat~'s utility watchdog for residential customers, said she was disappointed by the results but hopes the competitive market for electric power will develop in time for next year.'s auction. Her office has appealed the PUCO's approval of FirstEnergy's rate plan to the Ohio Supreme Court. Police said Gale was wearing the jersey during the shooting. Dellinger said she used to say hello to Gale but they never had a conversation. "He seemed like a nice guy. He just seemed shy," Dellinger said. Gale ate two or three times at Maggie's a week Restaurant across an alley from his apartment, waitress Emi Walden said. He would stay to chat after eating and seemed lonely, Walden said. "There was something odd about him, not like he would be dangerous to you, jusl , something about him that wasn't right," she said. Gale mentioned he was in the Marines but wouldn't talk specifics , Walden said. Messages were left with several military public affairs offices trying to confirm his service.

Teammates Stephen Jackson, Jermaine O ' Neal and Anthon y Johnson did the same, and a union attar· ney and one of O ' Neal's bodyguards also testified. lt went on for six hours, with none of the witne sses being cross-examined by anyone from the league office. One of the strangest grievance hearings in NBA history unfolded Thursday at a M anhattan law offi ce just three block s away from league h e~dquarter s, with arbitrator Roger Kaplan hearing arguments on the brawl-related su spen sion s issued by commi ssioner David Stern . The NBA, contending the arbitrator had no j urisdic· tion , declined to participate. At least a half-dozen chairs . sat vacant inside a woodpaneled conference room at a Manhattan law office as the hearing took place . "We (introduced) evideuce that we would have put on had the NBA been here, it just mean s that the arbitrator got to hear our side and not any opposition or rebuttal that the .NBA would care to introduce ," union director Billy Hunter said. The union asked for a "significant" reduction in each of the su spensions , though union officials would not specify what alternative penalties they suggested. Kaplan indicated he would not issue a ruling for Eagles from .Page 81 · \! ot)d ." Hugg in:.. :-. aid. "\Vc un f o r ced . "' let. them pG t'y at the ir pace coach Kc1·in for a long time .

Lackey was whistled for her fifth at the I :05 mark, and the guests still clung to a 48-45 edge. From that point on, Erin Weber hit a pair of free throws and Jen Hayman added a lay-up to counter Terri Wolfe's free throw for an extra four minutes of play. Edwards believed his team's consi stent work ethic allowed the Green and White to come away with the important league victory. He al so thought there would be good things to come out of this win. "Our kids work harder than anybody else. They work their butt off every day," commented Edwards. ''They also know that the effort pays ·osu from Page 81 duct for which I was not responsible." Thad Matta, hired July 7 to take O'Brien's place, has led Ohio State to a 6-2 record this season . He met with players later Thursday afternoon to tell them of the ban. "The shame of it is that our pl ayers had nothing to do with it ," Matta said. "They're being penali zed for a crime they did not commit. " The Buckeyes have three seniors: Tony Stockm an, who said , he transferred from Clemson three years ago to play in the NCAA tournament, along with Matt Marinchi ck and Brandon Fuss-Cheatham. The ban includes NC.AA and Nati onal In vitation Tournament bids, but 'the Buckeyes will be permitted to play for the Bi g Ten reg· ula[ season and tournament at least a week . Stern, citing a clause in the collective barga in ing agreement giv in g him authorit y to impose disci· pline for on-court behav ior, suspended Artes t for the remainder of th e season, Jackson for 30 games , O ' Neal for 25 games and Johnson for fi ve - penalties the union contends were excessive . Each of the players testified for at least a half-hour, and union attorneys submitted three lines of argument on the iss ue of jurisdicti on, challenging the leag ue 's position that the players' only a venue of appeal is through the comm issioner 's offi ce . The union cited a 1995 modifica:tion to the collec· live bargaining agreement allowing fo r appeals in cases where the financial . penalty to the di sciplined played exceeds $25,000. The union al so argued the definitions of what con stitutes "reasonable" punishment and "on-court behavior." "If, for example, a player were to go and stand in the center of the court and nioon the fans, as far as we're concerned that' s not on the court," Hunter said. "That has nothing to do with the game itself. That's kind of an off-the-court thing, because on the court actual ly means flow, the basketball game, the rules and reg ulations that control the tempo and how the game is played." The arbitrator also reviewed videotape of the entire 12-minute brawl , in which Artest sprinted into the stands and confronted a fan he believed had thrown a drink at him. Jackson also went ·into the stands and exc hanged pun ches wit h fans, while O'Neal and John son punched fans who came onto the court. "When you look at it all · together, you see the bigger pictu re," union attorney Jeffrey Kessler said . "You can see the e ntire context. " None of the players commented as they left the hear· ing. Kaplan must iss ue two rulin gs - whether he had jurisdi ction to hear a gri evance, as well as the actual grievance itself. If he were to rule in favo r o f the union on both counts, the playe rs would likely sue in federal court to have Kapl an's judg- · ment enforced. The NBA has already fil ed suit against the union and the four players in U.S. District Court in ManhaHfl'n , contending they are pursuing a grievance before an arbitrator who has no authority to intervene . That lawsuit rem ains pending, with the leagu e havin g decided earlier this week not to seek a temporary restraining order that might have prevented Thur sday 's hearing from going forward . Kaplan said he would try to issue a ruling before the latter part of next week , thou gh he cautioned that might not be possible. Johnson has already served hi s suspen sion, so the best he could hope for is the return of los t salary.

The University terminated me without giving me an opportunity to discuss all the facts and before I received the benefit of a full and fair investigation by the NCAA, as my contract required. And now, the University has chosen to self-impose sanctions before the NCAA has concluded its investigatio n, purportedly because of my actions. It's ironic that the University has done so based upon conduct I purportedly engaged in, yet the University still has not met with me to review all of the relevant facts. ·"I have and will continue to cooperate with the NCAA throughout the course of its investigation. I did provide a loan to Alex Radojevic's mother. I did so because I believed it was morally right. Mrs. Radojevic had recently lost her husband and she was struggling for survival in the midst of the Serbian War. I did not then and Tdo not now believe that my actions would result in any NCAA sanctions. At the time that I provided this humanitarian assistance to Mrs. Radojevic, it was already a known fact that Alex was a professional athlete and, therefore, not eligible to participate in NCAA athletics. "I was sorry to learn that the University opted to sacrifice the senior season of many fine young student athletes rather than allow the NCAA to consider and evaluate all of the relevant facts. I believe the University is mistaken in its impression that the NCAA would sanction it on account of conduct that occurred six years ago. I believe that as the whole story comes out, it will become clear that the University took the action of today because of other conduct for which I was not responsible." Roethlisberger back, but Burress out for Jets game BY ALAN ROBINSON Associated Press PITTSBURGH Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Plaxico Burress was ruled out of Sunday 's game against the Jets after missing practice with a sore hamstring Thursday, a day after he felt confident he was close to returning. Burress, the Steelers' top downfield receiving threat, will miss a third co n sec ~tive game with the first hamstring injury of his five-year career. He hasn't played since getting hurt three minutes into the second quarter of a 19-14 victory Nov. 21 in Ci ncinnati. · Steelers rookie quarterback Ben Roethlisberger returned to practice Thursday after sitting out Wednesday with a brui sed thigh and didn ' t appear to be favoring the injury. He was hurt during Pittsburgh's come-frombehind I 7-16 win Sunday night in Jacksonville, though he isn 't certain when . ''I' m tine," Roethlisberger said Thursday. "It's not a problem." The Steelers (il-l) can' t say the same thing about Burress' nagging l,flJury, which was initially expected to sideline him only one game. Now, Burress doesn't want to take a chance by playing again until the injury is 100 percent healed. "This is the ftrst time I've hurt my hamstring soi'm just trying to take it day by day," Burress said before the team announced he wouldn't play Sunday. "You don't want. to go there and hurt yourself for later down the road. I've always said that, if! don't feel well, I'm not going to go out there and hurt my teammates or hurt myself more ." Burress tried warming up Sunday night in Jacksonville and ran without much difficulty, but was concerned any rapid burst of acceleration might cause the injury to flare up again - perhaps leading to a lengthy layoff. "I don 't want to take a step back and hurt my team going down the stretch," said Burress, who is unsigned past this season. The effect of Burress' absence has been evident, even as the Steelers have kept winning without him . The 6-foot-5 Burress made at least one catch of 40 yards or longer in four of six games before getting hurt, but· the Steelers don't have a single reception of that length in their last four games. Burress is averaging 18.5 yards on his 32 receptions. The Steelers' scoring average has dropped from 28.5 in the six games before Burress was hurt when Roethii sberger was settling in as their starter - to 17.3 in their last three games. Burress' presence forces defenses to protect against the deep ball and prevents them from devoting as much double coverage to Hines Ward, whose own production has dropped with Burress out. Ward, a Pro Bowl receiver the last three seasons, averaged seven catches per game through seven games, but hasn't had more than four catches in any of hi s las t fi ve games. The Steelers (Il - l ) can wrap up the AFC North title as early as Sunday, but may need to keep winning once they clinch to retain home field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs. They currently own the tiebreaker against New England (Il -l ) because of their 34-20 victory over the Patriots on Oct. 31. \!Crihune - Sentinel - 1\e CLASSIFIED Cavaliers up for . sale Gilbert was th e potential buyer.

"The value of the Cavs has gone up since LeBron came in and Gordon sees this as his best opportunity to se II the team and move on," sa id James' agent, Aaron Goodwin, who was surprised by the announcement. "Gordon has done a great job of building this team and improving hi s product. " Along with his brother, George, GLmd bought the Cava liers in 1983 for $20 milli on from Ted Stepien. The brothers also owned the NHL's San Jose Sharks before se lling that franchise in 2002.

Excluding two clock-stopping spikes, Palmer completed 13 of his last 14 passes for 215 yards and three touchdowns, rallying the Bengals from a 20-3 deficit against one of the league's stingiest defenses. The best sign of what 's afoot: Palmer threw I0 passes to Chad Johnson and i 0 to T.J. Houshmandzadeh, who combined for 332 yards. Instead of forcing throws, the rookie stayed calm and found the open guy. "He has continued to gain the confidence that people will be where they are supposed to be," Lewis said. "Playing quarterback, the main thing is to be in sync with everybody else and be coordinated. I think we ha ve seen that in his development." Earlier in the season, Palmer would take a sack he was dropped 19 times in the first seven games, only six times in the last fi ve. Or, he'd force a throw to Johnson even when he was covered. · No more . Houshmandzadeh has 14 catches for 250 yards in the last two games. an indication that Palmer has learned what to do when Johnson is drawing a crowd.

St. Ignatius and St. Edward, two Roman Catholic high schoo ls in Cleveland with well-known sports programs, received threatening letters addressed to student athletes, FBI special agent Bob Hawk said. St. Ignatius received eight letters Nov. 30. St. Edward's received two letters las t week. 'The sentence structure is very similar, the paragraph structure, the verbiage· structure. They're all computer generated," Hawk said. "We ' re convinced that it's the same letter writer." Hawk said he only knew of schools in Ohio receiving letters. Over the past two years, 60 such letters have been sent to at least six NFL players and other well·known black men across the nation , including civic and business leaders. None of the recipients has been identified. The mail, postmarked from cities in northeast Ohio and Pennsylvania. criticized interracial relationships and direct the men to end such relationships .. or they're going to be castrated, shot or set on fire." The letters were usually signed .. angry white woman·' or "angry Caucasian woman." There is no suspect and the FBI is asking anyone with information to contact the agency. An offender could be charged with sending threats through the mail, which is puni shable from six months to five years in prison. ''It's hard to say what trips this guy's switch. My guess is that he sees a photo in a newspaper or magazine or shown on TV - that 's speculation - where a black male is in the company of a white female , and I think that 's what trips his switch and the letters follow." Hawk said. The letters mailed to St. Ignatius were addressed ·to the soccer team and players for other sports - some from other area schools who were photographed for a local newspaper's scholastic sports section. said Carolyn Kovach, the school' s spokeswoman . The black athletes were pictured with white. female athletes. Kovach said the writer had apparently assumed the athletes were dating. "All I know is they appeared in photographs together," she said. "It's ridiculous. I want this person to know you're creating alarm and hurting people with your words. I can't believe people think this way in 2004." ihe mail was intercepted by school security and never made it into the hands of the students, whose parents were immediately notified. The school called the FBI and was unaware that it was part of a larger case, Kovach said. St. Ignati us has toughened its security that includes cameras and guards. The student s involved were given parking spaces closer to the school entrance and told that "at anytime if they want a security escort to their cars to let us know," Kovach said . St. Edward principal Eugene · Boyer sa id his school received two letters "of a racist and threatening nature that we immediately turned over to the FBI." No specific student was named in those letters, he said. "Our entire school community is on the highe st security alert to ensure our students' safety and wellbei ng." Boyer said. Associated Press THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. - Colin Montgomerie has played in the Tarjlel World Challenge twtce before, just not under these circumstances. "I believe I'm the world's worst-ranked player here," he said. Tournament host Tiger Woods gave him one of the four sponsor's exemptions in October, and Montgomerie made the most of it Thursday with a 4-under 67 that left him atop the leaderboard with Woods and Jim Furyk. A victory this week would not change Montgomerie's record of never having won in the United States because the 16-man tournament is unofficial. The money is great- $1.25 million for the winner is the largest payoff in America- although that's not why he is happy to be playing. . h b , Th ts as een a year to .orget, and he wants 10 stay busy to keep hi s mind off personal matters . Montgomerie went through a very public divorce this summer, which became official the week before the British Open at his home course of Royal Troon. The holidays are approaching, which Monty says will be a "nightmare." Sirice the European tour season ended in November, he already has played in the UBS Cup and the Casio World Open in Japan, anything to keep hi s mind occupied. He also has dropped to No. 79 in the world - one spot behind Youn-Eun Yang of South Korea - and is desperate to get that number back where he feels it belongs. "It's been a crap year, and I'm getting my game back again to a certain degree," he said. 'Tm looking forward to the start of 2005. I've kept busy for a reason. I'm very fortunate to be able to travel and go different places and get away from things. It's GHENT, W.Va. (AP) A Raleigh County doctor and a ski shop are encouraging young skiers and snowboarders to play safely by providing them -with free helmets. The Ski Shop in Ghent and Dr. A. James Paine Jr. announced their Brain Saver program Thursday. The Ski Shop will provide helmet s free of charge to any youth who rents skis, snowboards or ski boards. If a parent also is renting equipment. the youth's ski rental also will be free. said general manager Pam Barker. Helmets also can be purchased. Paine, a specialist in head and neck injuries, is helping to fund the program . He said he suffered a head laceration and stitches last year after falling while skiing in Colorado. "My goal is wanting to help educate parent s, their children and young people on how helmets can make a difference in reducing or preventing certain types of injurie s, such as fa lls and impacts," Paine said. He also said children need to ski or snowboard responsibly and parents need to ensure that their children are not attempting ac tivities beyond their abilities . been a benefit the last six months." stroke-play eve~t on t~l!'
