December has been the deadliest month for the American military in Iraq in a year. There was, howev. er, no sign of a feared Sunni uprising in retaliation for Saddam 's hanging, and the bloodshed on Saturday was not far off the daily average - 92 Iraqis killed from bombing s and death s4uads. The Pentagon on Sunday · announced the death of Spc, Dustin R. Donica, 22 , of Spring, Te~as, who was killed Thursday by small arms fire in Baghdad.

On Saturday, <I roadside bomb killed one American soldier . and wounded two in Baghdad, the U.S. military said Sunday. The deaths bring to at least 3,000 the number of U.S. military deaths in Iraq since the 2003 invasion, according to an Associated Press account, with at least 820 U.S. military personnel killed in 2006. At Saddam 's funeral , dozens of relatives and others, some of them crying and moaning, attended the interment shortly before dawn ,in Ouja. A few knelt before his flag-draped grave. A large framed photograph of Saddam was propped up on a chair nearby. "I condemn the way he was e~ecuted and I consider it a crime," said 45-yearold Salam Hassan tllNasseri, one of Saddam's clansmen who attended the interment in the village just outside Tikrit, 80 m1les north of Baghdad. Some 2,000 Iraqis traveled to the village as well. Mohammed Natiq, a 24year-old college student, said "the path of Arab nationalism must inevitably be paved with blood."

"He said we are going to heaven and our enemies will rot in hell and he also called for forgiveness and love among Iraqis but also stressed that the Iraqis should tight the Americans and the Persians," Munir Haddad, an appeals coun judge who witnessed the hanging, told the British Broadcasting Corp.

KIMBERLY HEFLING ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER WASHINGTON - The January junket to warmer climates - a postholiday tradition of sorts for some members of Congress - could be headed to the wayside. An accelerated work schedule set up by the new Democratic leadership has put a halt on many January excursions funded by lobbyists. Given that Democrats are taking over the House and Senate in pan because of GOP ethics scandals, some lawmakers are fearful of the voters' wrath anyway if they go on the trips. "I think members are looking more closely at privately funded tmvel, and I think ... many of them are·being careful and avoiding it," said Rep. Charles Dent, R-Pa. The last time members had to work much of January was 11995, when a newly Republican-led H'ouse took control, recalled Todd Hauptli, senior executive vice president of the American Association of Airpon Executives. For the past 21 years, except for 1995, his organization paid for members to tly to Hawaii to discuss airline issues at a conference. This January, members are declining the offer and will panicipate by videotape. "They can 't really be scooting around the country • from the rope. Then came another voice: "Let him swing for three minutes." The responses within Iraq to Saddam 's death echoed the larger reaction across the Middle East, with his enemies rejoicing and his defenders proclaiming him a martyr. While . Iranians and Kuwaitis welcomed the death of the leader who led wars against each of their countries, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said the execution prevented exposure of the secrets and crimes the former dietator committed during his brutal rule.

I .I ·For Cq(lgress, January means more work, fewer junkets when Congress is in session," Hauptli said. Members also will be missing out this January 'on attending the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, where Ti Vo digital records and Nintendos first were introduced. The Consumer Electronics Association spent thousands last year sending a few members and their stalls to the show, where they stayed in the Bellagio Hotel and Casino. An Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers spokesman said the group does not expect any lawmak~rs to use hotel rooms- reserved fur them in January at a hotel near the annual Detroit auto show, where new cars and technologies are showca,ed. Instead, the group is encouraging members W' attend the Washington auto show later in the ' month, said Charles Territo. an association spokesman. "We'll continue to look at other ways to educate members of Congress," Territo said. Attention surrounding the excesses of disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who is now 111 federal prison, brought the practice of lobbyist-funded tmvel to light.

Last summer, zoo officials solicited bears from two dozen zoos, and so far have secured one. at least temporarily. The Louisville Zoo will loan a 14-year old male named Aquila while it creates its own arctic exhibit, expected to open in 2009. . R<!ndi Meyerson, mammal curator for the Toledo Zoo and in charge of the American Zoological Association's polar bear species-survival plarr, says polar bears are one of the few speCies where demand is ellpected ,to outstrip the number of animals available over the next few years .. The bears· have been the most requested animal at the Columbus zoo for the past several years. And in the gift shop, polar bear merchandise has continued to sell steadily even without any of the bears at the zoo. " Polar bears sell. They're just very cute," said Denise Imler, the zoo's retail manager. She said the zoo hopes to have a mini-boutique dedicated to the bears when they return. About a decade ago, the Columbus zoo, as well as other zoos, decided the polar bears and their habitats were too costly. The Columbus zoo sent its two female bears to the Guadalajara Zoo in Mexico and the male bear to Rochester, N.Y. The Columbus zoo's renewed interest in the bears comes at a time when other zoos also are taking , notice. Multimillion dollar arctic habitats also have been added recently in Baltimore and Pittsburgh .

Page.A:J Columbus zoo's livinecollection director, sa1d the new polar bear habitat , with total space of more than 2 1/2 acres, will be one of the zoo's largest devoted to a single ty~e of animal. "We re planning for the future," Lombardi said. "When we built the brown-bear and blackbear exhibits 20 years ago, we thought they were large. Now, they look substandard to us." The zoo plans to eventually have up to five .,bears for the exhibit. Across North America, there are 90 polar bears at 35 zoos that are members of the American Zoological Association, Meyerson said. The ca~­ tive bears' scarcity 1s compounded by the fact that half of the cubs born in captivity or in studied populations in the wild don't live into adulthood. Meyerson said she's cautiously optimistic that three cubs born at the Toledo Zoo. in late November will survive . Alicia Lein, chief development officer for the Columbus zoo, said she expects the Polar Frontier exhibit to be popular because it will combine in-demand animals with a timely message about protec.ting those in the wild. This week, the Bush administration said polar bears are in jeopardy and need stronger government protection because of melting Arctic sea ice related . to global warming . Outside the eovernment, other scientists studying the issue say pollution, overhunting, development and even tourism also may be factors. The Interior De~artment has proposed listmg polar bears as a "threatened" species on the government's list. A final decision on whether to add the polar bears is a year away. after the government finishes more studies.

We think it is appropriate: Success by Btssie Andtrson StDnley He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much: who has enjoyed the trust of pure women, the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who has left the world tletter than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem or a rescued soul; who has never lacked appreciation of Earth's beauty or failed to ellpress it; who has always looked for the best in others and given them the best he had; whose life was an inspiration; whose memory a benediction. · Dear Annie: My 6-yearold son was 'talking about his recent field trip at school.

ODOT PLOWS AHEAD AS PA1ROL LOSFS FUNDING FROM TAX CLEVELAND (AP) The Ohio Department of Transportation is taking advantage of millions of dollars comin~. · in frdm a 2003 increase m the state's gasoline tax, even findin~ · $70 million for road signs 11. may never need, The Plain Dealer reponed Sunday. The spending spree comes in part from the $190 million a year in gastax money that won't go to the State Highway Patrol under a change in the formula used to split the money. The patrol will get no gas-tax money after July 1, 2007. The Legislature overwhelrningly improved the 6-cent-per-gallon increase in 2003, after pleas from ODOT that the state's roads and bridges needed an overhaul, and after heavy lobbying by the road construction industry. The increase is being phased in with a 2-cent increase each year, with the final increase 111 2007. The tax increase adds $500 million a year for ODOT to spend on bridge and road maintenance on top of the $800 million the agency already would be spending before the increase. The increase also has allowed ODOT to spend $36 million since 2003 on highway rest area upgrades . in five counties, including $15.7 million on renovating a pair of rest areas that sit alon~ Interstate 70 . in Licking County, about 30 miles east of Columbus. The agency also is spending $70 million to replace all of Ohio's 500,000 road signs with signs made of more reflective material, even thou¥h federal regulations don t require it and ODOT studies show that fewer thar, 6,000 signs are missing, damaged or show another need for replacement, The Plain Dealer said. ODOT Director Gordon Proctor and two aides said they believed federal regulations would require the more reflective s1gns and were surprised to learn they did not, the newspaper said. However, the agency believes the regulations. soon will require the new signs. A srokesman for the Federa . Highway Administration said .the agency is studying the issue, but it's too early to speculate if the rules for stgns will change. · The program will continue because it believes the new requirement is coming eventually and ODOT wants to be prepared , a~ency spokeswoman Lmdsay Komlanc told The Associated Press on Sunday. Komlanc said Proctor and his aides were not stunned when they heard ·the federal requirements had not taken effect. The replacement program got under way when the federal government mandated that all highway signs be the same color, she said. "They weren't clear if the federal regulations (on reflectivity) were in place or whether they were something that was coming," Komlanc said. Lucas County Engineer Keith Earley, a Democrat, said the program needs to be re-evaluated. "That's an awful lot of money, especially ~iven the current conditions, ' Earley said. The patrol's take of the gas tax - $38 million this year will evaporate when the next two-year state budget takes effect in July, unless lawmakers tinker with how the money is divided. · To make up the patrol's losses, the Legtslature increased the fees for driver's licenses and vehicle registrations. However, the patrol is still struggling with the loss of the tax money, patrol spokesman Lt. Tony Bradshaw said. · The loss '"will dramatically reduce services and impact our facilities," Bradshaw said. The ' patrol projects a $29 million deficit in its 2009 budget. Remains ofVietnam soldier returned for burial CLEVELAND (AP) -An Army Special Forces sergeant wbo disappeared in Laos nearly 40 years ago and whose remains wereidentlfiedin2006washonored at his timera1 by mourners, some of whom never knew him. Master Sgt. Nonnan Payne was remembered Saturday at a service attended by his family and by Vietnam War vetenms from across northeast Ohio and Pl:rmsylvania who were there simply to honor a fallen fellow soldier. More than 200 people paid their respects. "We don't look at this as a funeral," said Richard Pennybaker of Alliance, Ohio. "We look at this as a welcoming home and the honoring of a war hero. For nearly 40 years, he lay in a rice paddy somewhere. Thday, be's here for us to thank hint" Payne was 27 when he was reported missing in Laos on Dec. 18, 1968. He had been assigned to the studies and operations group in Vietnam and had been on coven missions, mililaly leaders said. A son, Nonnan Jr.. had held on to the '·hope his father was alive. '"In my hean ofheans.l knew that he would be coming back," the younger P'dyne. 43, said. "I always believed it ... until I got the news."

Both mside the Islamic world and, more alarmingly, outside the Islamic world, sharia laws prohibiting critIcism of Islam were already working smoothly. When in 2005 we watched the deathpenalty-seeking prosecution of editor Ali Mohaqeq Nasab for ·"blasphemy" in U.S.-liberated Afghanistan, we could see we were dealmg with a sharia. state.

Or maybe Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury. (The Bangladeshi journalist faces the death penalty when he goes on trial in January for "blasphemy" and . treason for writing favorabl}l about Israel and unfavorably about Islamic terrorism.) Diana West Of course, such censorship is Over There and beyond, not in the United States of America. right? And it can't, as they say. happen here. Right? Please, right? • I called 2006 the Year of Speaking Dangerously, and that was before anyone 1ikely imagined seeing "Behead Those Who Insult Islam" placards on jihadist display outside the Danish Embassy in London. What kind of year will 2007 be? What I fear most is that it will tum out to be the Year of Shutting Up, As in: Why speak dangerously when you can simply not speak at all? In fact, the Year of Shutting Up probably began back in September when Pope Benedict famously argued that the practice of forced conversion- key to Islamic expansion over the centuries - is inimical to both faith and reason. The eruption of anger among Muslims at such criticism was instantaneous and severe. Just shut up, the umma exclaimed. Basically, the Pope did exactly that. At the time, Daniel Pipes explained why placating such anger with silence was dangerous for the West: "The Muslim uproar has a goal - to prohibit criticism of Islam by Christians and thereby impose Shariah norms in the West. Should Westerners accept this central tenet of Islamic law, others will surely follow. Retaining free speech about Islam, therefore, represents a critical defense against the imposition of an Islamic ' order." I / :t'LLSAY' . . of Rep.-elect Keith Ellison, D-Minn .. to use a Koran at his swearing-in ceremony. Goode expressed wttat I take to be his recognition that the laws of Islam which prohibit religious freedom, freedom of speech and conscience, equality before the law and women's rights - do not augment, but rather contravene the founding principles of the United States. ~ He also wrote: •·[ fear that in the next century we will have many more Muslims in the United States if we do not adopt the strict immigration policies that I believe are necessary to preserve the values and beliefs traditional to the United States of America." It's difficult to argue with Goode's logic . Indeed. the test case of the age Europe - demonstrates that Islamic immigration brings Islamic law, which is demonstrably at odds with American "values anJ beliefs." Forgoing debate, however, Goode's critics have resorted to name-calling and platitudes about "tolerance," failing utterly to notice the gross intolerance ·of the Islamic tradition. Worst of all, their tactics seem designed to shut up Goode, and anyone else who might follow, his bold example. Will they? It's the question of 2007. Pipes'language- "shariah norms in the West," "the imposition of an lsllimic order" -evokes a potential transfom1ation of our culture that is nothing short of revolutionary. Our elites seem not to have the slightest clue how devastating such a change. which comes under the rubric of Islamization, would be to our J udeo-Christian-rooted civilization. Indeed, it is increasingly clear they don't kQow the difference between "an Islamic order" and J udeo·Christian-rooted civilization - or even that there is a difference. There are exceptions.

WASHINGTON Ordinary Americans paid their respects to Gerald R. Ford on Sunday, walking slowly by his flag-covered casket in the Capitol and remembering how the 38th president likely sacrificed his career by. granting the pardon he thought right for the nation. Visitors said they .thought about Ford's pardon of predecessor Richard M. Nixon as they walked past the casket and military honor guard, in the center of the Rotunda that Ford so often traversed as a member of Congress. Some mourners also were greeted in the afternoon by two of the late president's sons, first Jack and then Steven. "ThBnk you for cominft on behalf of the family, Jack told people as they filed in. "Sorry for your loss," some responded . Jack Ford spent about an hour in the Rotunda in early afternoon, while Steven was there for roughly the hour before nightfall, sometimes sitting off to the side watching people file by and occasionally getting up to exchange pleasantries with some of them. No official count of the number of mourners was available, but a steady stream of an estimated 2,000 to 2,500 people per hour walked slowly past the casket for just over nine hours on Sunday, after a similar outpouring for nearly three hours Saturday evening. The Rotunda was closed to the public at just after 6 p.m. Sunday, but a military guard, changed every hour, stood silent vigil throughout the night. Viewing was to resume Monday morning and continue until 6 p.m. New Years Day. Several people said they recalled Ford's toughest moment as president: the pardon, in September' 1974 of Nixon for any Watergate working-class rock band Swamp Jeuce earned a spot to play at the annual X-Fest concert in Huntington, W.Va. after beating out 50 bands for the spot.

It c~e only one month after Ford became the nation's only unelected president, following Nix.on 's resignation. "I thought when he par. doned Nixon ·he stood up and did what the country needed, not what would further his political career," said John Banks, 51, . of Calhoun, Ga. "I don't think · we have, presidents that do that any more." Banks, who said he was in . the Air Force when Ford was president, drove more than I0 hours to Washington to pay his respects. Jane Keliher, 61, from Wichita, Kan. , said Ford "healed the nation and gave up his future as a politician to do it." She described the ellperience of passing by Ford's casket as ''just beyond words." Ford ran for president in 1976 and lost to Democrat Jimmy Carter. Then and now, political analysts believe the pardon played a major - if not the major- role in Ford's defeat. According to the funeral schedule, Ford was to lie in state for public viewing . On through Monday. Tuesday morning, his remains will rest outside ~he Senate chamber on their way before the funeral service at Washington National Cathedral. While Saturday's arrival ceremony in the Capitol was for dignitaries, Sunday's viewing was for people such as Gemld Mitchell, 49, who walked around the casket with his hat over his heart. Mitchell was VISiting Washington with his wife, Susan, 43, from College Station, Texas . "It's our American duty.'' Susan Mitchell said. Her husband added. "With the soldiers standing there I felt humble. It was an honor .... to have that privilege to be there . I think he was a good president." Dan Shirey of Herndon.

"I think they have to rec ognize where they come from so when they grow up, they understand," . Shirey said, explaining he wanted his sons to witness hi story. Added his wife: "This is pan of building up memories with our children." Jack and Mary Oslund . both 67 and from Springfield, Ya. . recalled Ford as a president who had the job thrust upon him in the last chapter of Nixon's Watergate scandal. "I think w.hat he brought back to the White House was integrity. trust," Jack Oslund said. "Honesty," added Mary Oslund. "Watergate kind of tbre the nation apart.

Putting a hot shop and its 2,400-degree ovens inside a building that houses fragile pieces of glass required elements found in few buildings. A system of coils in the studio floor pulls in the heat from the furnaces and recycles it for use elsewhere in the pavilion. Three separate air handling systems for the galh; ry, studio, and hallways regulate the temperature inside the building designed by Japanese architects Kazuyo Sejima' and Ryue Nishizawa. The cooling system works so well that the heat is hardly noticeable to visitors watching the artists at w.ork.

Eagles 24, Falcons 17 PHILADELPHIA (AP) The Eagles ( 10-6) clinched No" 1 Ohio State women defeat Iowa 73-67 IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) State's Jessica Ohio Davenport had another big game at iowa to stave off the Hawkeyes' upset bid. The senior center scored 24 points 'on 9-of-13 shooling ilnd collected II rebounds to lead seventh-ranked Ohio Stale to a 73-6 7 victory Sunday, one year after torching Iowa for 34 points, 16 reiXIIJDds, and six assists in the same arena. "I'm ~lad this is the last time we ll have to see her in Carver-Hawkeye Arena," Iowa coach Lisa Bluder said. "She did another ttemendous job with shooting well and getting boards." Mluscilla Packer added 23 for the Buckeyes (Il-l), who rallied in the second Half on 67 percent shooting. Obio State trailed 32-31 at halftime of its Big Ten opener. but Davenport scored 16 points aft..,>r the break and the Buckeyes outlasted Iowa (9- 6). The tm~ority of her buckets came agamst a zone defense, which Ohio State coach Jim Foster said Iowa applied more frequently than any other , opponent this season. "I just think we were discombobulated," he said of the early play. ··we h<~ve two freshmen point · . guards. Sometimes they play like freshmen, and I think once they got more comfortable, we got more comfortable." Iowa pulled within a point with just under 10 minutes left. but a 7-0 run by the Buckeyes - which included a layup and 3-pointer by Packer - made it (i 1-53.

Texas - The Dallas Cowboys are headed into " the tournament" at · their worst. They couldn't even beat Detroit on a day when a loss would've given the Lions the No. I pick in the draft. ' Done in by repeated mis, takes from Tony Romo and a few more by Terence Newman, the Cowboys blew their last chance to win the NFC East with a 39,31 loss to the Lions on Sunday. Roy Williams caught a pair of touchdown passes. Mike Furrey and Mike Williams each caught one and Jason Hanson kicked four field goals, helping Detroit (3, 13) score its most points of the season and win a game , the franchise might've been better off losing. Now Oak.land gets the top overall pick and the Lions will go second. Despite owning the top wild card, Dallas (9-7) goes i!·to January having lost consecu.;le games for the 11rst time all season. The Cowboys also have dropped three of four since owning a two-game division lead in early December. All three losses were at home, guaranteeing no playoff games at Texas Stadium. Dallas will open the playoffs at Seattle next weekend. Jets 23, Raiders 3 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. CAP) -The surprising New York Jets are headed for an improbahle trip to the playoffs. Chad Pennington threw a touchdown pass to Chris Baker, Leon Washington ran for a touchdown run and Mike Nugent kicked three field ,goals. Cheered by a sea of towel-waving fans throughout the game, New York (10-6) never trailed and took control in the second half. The Jets were 4-12 last year. New coach Eric Mangini received a Gatorade shower just after the 2-minute warning, and a series of hugs by jubilant Jets players. Pennington urged the fans on, waving his right arm and prompting them to continue celebrating. The Jets will play next weekend at New England in a first-round matchup against the AFC's No. 3 seed. The Raiders (2-14) got one consolation, the 11rst overall pick in next April's draft. Chiefs 35, Jaguars 30 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Kansas City sneaked into the playoffs as Larry Johnson rushed for 138 yards on 33 carries, giving him an NFL-record 416 carries this season. His 1,789 yards smashed the team record of I ,750 the durable 230-pounder set last year in only nine starts. Atlanta's Jamal Anderson had the NFL record for attempts in a season with 410 in 1998 . Johnson scored three touchdowns. The Chiefs (9-7) will play at Indianapolis next weekend. After losses Su11day by Cincinnati and Tennessee, the Chiefs reached the playoffs with a vic(ory by the 49ers over Denver. Jacksonville finished the Monday, January 1, 2007 with less than two minutes remaming. Smith sank a 3-pointer from near the top of the kev with just 90 seconds to g0, but Davenport caught a lob pass and put in a layup to answer. Iowa didn't score again. "When we got that lead, it was kind of like, ' We're goins to keep this lead and not let tt go away."' Davenport smd. "So we really picked up our defense after that." On paper, the matchup appeared a Iaugher. Ohio Stale entered the g<~me ranked tirst in the Big Ten in scoring offense (78.7), scoring margin (+22.5), ami assists (18.91), among other categories. while Iowa was la~t in the conferen<.:e in swring defense (69.5.). turnover mar~in (3.36 ). and reboundtng t.. 6.9). Yet the Hawkeyes' rattled off a I0-0 run midway through the tirst half, led by Wendy Ausdemore 's five points. to push thetr advantage to 23-19. · Along with the active zone defense. good ball movement kept the Hawkeyes in the game - they fmished with 23 assists and IJ turnovers. Foster said he. wasn 't surprised to tak e one of the Haw keyes' best shots of the season. "I've been doing this too long, to ever be disappointed with a win." Foster said. Davenport, who e<m1e up just two )Xlints shy of tying a season high, led the Buckeyes in their tirst game back from an I'!-day layoff after topping then-No. 3 Oklahoma on Dec. 20. Iowa had four players in double-ligures, led by Smith with a career-high 21 points, seven a.\sists. and live steals. Megan Skouby added a season-high 19. '!I feel like we could have beat a lot of learns tonight." Bluder said. "Ohio State wasn't one of them .. the NFC East title earlier when Dallas lost . So, coach Andy Reid pulled - his starters to keep them healthy for next Sunday's first-round matchup against the New York Gwnts (8-8). A.J. Feeley threw for a career-best 321 yards and three touchdowns to help the Eagles win their fifth st rai ght gal]1e without Donovan McNabb. The Falcons (7 -9) played almost the entire second half without Michael Vick, who sprained his right ankle on the lirst play of the third quarter. One play after Matt Schaub's 9-yard TO to Alge Crumpler tted it at 17 for Atlanta, Feeley conn!!cted ' with Hank Baskett on an 89yard TO pass that gave the Eagles a 24-17 lead early in the fourth quarter. Feeley hit a wide-open Baskett in stride and the rookie wideout streaked untouched doll'n the right sideline. Baskett finished with seven catches for 177 yards. Colts 27, Dolphins 22 INDIANAPOLIS (AP)Peyton Manning threw two touchdowns, ran for another and watched his maligned defense limit Miami to five field goals before giving up a late touchdown.
