Along with providing a P.lace for xou and your famtly to butld lasting memories, a home is a great way to r,lan for retirement. Whi e many potential homeowners are understandably concerned with getting the best interest rate and lowest mongage payment possible, other costs can be trimmed as well . Perhaps the biggest area where most homeowners would prefer to trim some fat off their monthl y bills is with their homeowner's insurance. While such a thought might seem like false hope~ according to the Insurance Information Institute, there are a variety of ways homeowners can lessen the blow of their monthly insurance bill. • Raise your deductible. Raising your deductible is perhaps the quickest way to lessen your monthly insurance expense. Deductibles PageD6 The cost of living is escalating all across the country. Lowering the cost of home insurance can be one way to save money. are the amount you have to pay toward a loss before your msurance company begins to pay. A $500 deductible, the recommended minimum, means you would have to pay $500 toward dama~es to your home , and your msurance company would then pay the rest, if those damages were covert:d under your poli<:y. A homeowner who ~:hooses to ratse his deductible from $500 to $1.000, however. might save up · to 25 percent on his monthly insurance costs. • Make your home more disaster-reststant. Regardless of where you live, your home is susceptible to some type of disaster. Perhaps your region is prone to earth4uakes, tornadoes or even hailstorms or hurricanes . These days it seems nowhere is safe from natural disasters. Therefore , making your home more disaster-res istant is another possible way of cutting your homeowners insurance costs. Adding storm shutters and roof reinforcements might enable you to save you some money. Doing some inside remodeling with newer appliances can also reduce the risk of tire or water damage to your home, which should lead to lower monthly insurance costs. • Install or upgrade a home-sec urity system . While the initial costs of installing or upgradin~ a home-security system nught seem costly, some insurance .companies make it more than worth your while , slashing your premiums by as much as 20 percent if certain systems are installed. Typically, an insurance company will you give you the biggest di scount if you install a tire or burglar alarm Arkin, Hudson win · supporting-acting Oscars, front-runner Murphy loses, A2 Sunday, February 25, 2007 system that immediately notities local police, fire ofticials or even a company with a monitoring system. The best way to determine if such systems are wonh the investment is to speak with your insurance provider first and ask about which systems garner the biggest discounts. • Keep a good credit rating. Thts is sound advice even for people who aren't homeowners but would like to be someday. Though it hasn 't come without controversy, many msurance companies are now looking at credit ratings when determining prices for homeowners' msurance policies. Having and maintaining a strong credit history is entirely under your control and can save you money in the long run. • Combine your policies. In most instances, insurance providers will charge less if you select them as your homeowner and auto insurance provider. Savings can reach a.~ high as 15 percent and make for an easier time when it comes to paying the monthly bills as well. However, do your research. While combining coverages usually works in a homeowner's favor, that's not always the case . Find out how much coverage will cost using the same company as opposed to two, and choose the less costly of the two options. • Stay with the same company. Insurance companies typically reward their longttme customers with strong payment histories by offermg them lower rates. More often than not, this works on a tier system. where customers who have been with a provider for X amount of years will get a cenain percentage discount. That percentage typically rises with each period spent with the company. However, keep an eye on rates from other companies just to make sure you're getting the best rate possible .

See Page 81 the entire year, the tradit ional costs that apply to your primary residence will still be there. Financing fees, utilit y bills and property taxes. among other "things. will all still apply. In addition, for those looking to rent out their second home during periods of time they know they won't be using it, that can potentially prove more limiting financially. Oftentimes, renting the property out means you're no longer eligible for certain tax exemptions. • Compare and contrast. While it' s alwavs nicer to own your own "place. is it really wonh it for you? This can be determined with a s) mple examination of past vacation's receipts. How much do you typically shell out in hotel or rental fees or other traditional vacati on expenses such as food and beverages? If a second homt-' makes linancial sense in that regard, then you might be making the right decision getting a second home. However. for those who typically don't spend too much lime on vacation or would prefer to travel to different locales, then a second home might not be for you. • Look at different properties available . Just because you can alford a second home doesn't mean you need one. Less expensive omdos or timesharcs can make you feel just as at home on a vacation and might be able to save you substanti al amounts on property taxes, fees, etc. • Speak to an investment professional. If you're not currently in a position to allord a second home but would like to be someday, consult a financial planner or advisor and tell him about your goals. If you stay disci- plined and stan far enough in advance, you should be able to establish a plan where a second home is less a dream and more a reality. • Know the tax laws. As mentioned ea rlier, your intentions with property .can greatly affect the amount you'II be taxed or allowed to deduct. Don't let these laws be a surprise after you've bought your second home. Know · exactl y what you can and can't do with your propen~ and how certain things ltke renting out the property will affe ct your tax situation. Consula tax professional to learnabout the various tax implications that cou ld make or break you financially . • Is it what you really want? For vacationers who enjoy time off in the summer and the winter, perhaps a second home isn't the best route, as you likely won't be able to ski and surf in the same locale, meaning you'll sti ll be spending additional money on hotels ani! other services th at a second home should negate. Also, the burdens of meeting the bills that come with a second home can limit your ability to take that second vacation. Understand all the costs you'll have to face once you sign the dotted line. • Benefits of a second home.

Is a second home the right n1ove? (MS)- While many people dream of owning a vacation home, oftentimes it is looked at as a luxury available solely to the wealthy. That's a perception that is largely true, as approval for second home mortgages is more difficult than for primary home mongages. Also, higher down payments on second homes are typically required, as lenders look to protect themselves from borrowers who might be more prone to missing a payment on their vacation home than their primary residence. Still, for those in the position to afford and be approved for a second home, the decision on whether or not to do so is no slam dunk. Rather, the following linancial ~'Onsidemtions should be taken into account before you go second home hunting. • Costs.

Hudson won an Oscar for her first movie . playing a powerhouse vocalist who falls on hard times after she is booted from a 1960s girl group. The role came barely two years after she shot to celebrity as an "American Idol" finalist. "Oh my God. I have to just take this moment in. I cannot believe this . Look what God can do .

The number of families receiving cash benefits from welfare has plummeted since the government imposed tiine limits on the payments a decade ago. But other programs for the poor, including Medicaid, food stamps and disability benefits, are bursting with new enrollees. The result , according to an Associated Press analysis: Nearly one in six people rely on some form of public assistance. a larger share than at any time since the government staned measuring two decades ago. Critics of the welfare overhaul say the numbers offer fresh evidence that few former recipients have become self-sufficient. even though millions have moved from welfare to work. They say the vast majority have been forced into low-paying jobs without benefits and few op~nunities to advance. ' If the goal of welfare reform was to gel people off the welfare rolls, bravo ," said \livyan Adair, a fanner welfare recipient who is now an assistant professor of women's studies at Hamilton College in upstate New' York. "If the goal was to · reduce poveny and give people economic and job stabilIty, it was not a success." Proponents of the changes in welfare say programs that once discouraged work now offer support to people in low-paying jobs. They pciint to expanded eligibility rules for food stamps and Medicaid . the health insur-. ance progrdlll for the poor, · that enable people to keep getting benefits even after • they stan working , "I don't have any problems with those programs growing, and indeed. they were intended to grow," said Ron Haskins, a former adviser to President Bush on welfare policy. "We've taken the step of ~etting way more people mto the labor force and they have taken a huge step toward self-sufficiency. What is the other choice''" he asked. In the early 1990s. critics contended the welfare system encouraged unemployment and promoted singleparent families. Welfare recipients , mostly single mothers, could lose benefits if they earned too much money or if they lived with the father of their children. Major changes in welfare were enacted in 1996, requiring most recipients to work but allowing them to continue some benefits after they staned jobs. The law imposed a five-year limit on cash payments for most people in the Temporary Needy Assistance for Families program , or TANF. Some states have shorter time limits. Nia Foster fits the pattern of dependence on government programs. She stopped getting cash welfare pay~nts in the late 1990s and has moved from one clerical job to another. None provided medical benefits. The 32-year-old mother of two from Cincinnati said she suppons her family with help from food stamps and Medicaid. Foster said she did not get any job training when she left welfare. She earned her' high-school eq-uivalency last year at a community college. "If you want to get educated or want to succeed. ~he welfare oftice don't care." Foster said . "I don't think they really care what you do once the benefits are gone." Foster now works in a tax office, a seasonal job that will end after April 15. She hopes to enroll at the University of Cincinnati this spring and would like to study accounting. She is waiting to find out if she qualifies for enough financial aid to cover tuition . "I like data processing. something where it's a bunch of invoices and you have to key them in," Foster said. "I want to be an accountant so bad." Shannon Stanfield took a difterent. less-traveled path from welfare. thanks to a generous program that offered her a chance to get a college education. Stanfield. 36, was cleaning houses, to support her two young children four years ago when she learned about a program for welfare recipients at nearby Hamilton College. a private liberal ans school in Clinton. NY "At the time I was living in a pretty run-down apartment," said Stanfield, who was getting welfare payments, Medicaid and food stamps. " It wasn't healthy." The program, called the Access Project. accepts about 25 welfare-eligible parents a year. Hamilton waives tuition for first-year students and the program supplrments financial aid in later years. Students get a hllst of social and career services. including help finding internships and jobs and financial assistance in times of crisis. About 140 fom1er welfare recipients have completed the program and none still relies on government programs for the poor. said Adair, the Hamilton professor who staned the Access Project in 200 I. Stanfield. who still gels Medicaid and food s,tamps . plans to graduate in May .~ with a bachelor's degree in theater. She wants to be a teacher. "I slowly built up my confidence through education," Stanfield said. "I can't honestly tell you how much it has changed my life." Programs such as the Access Project are not cheap, which is one reason they are rare. Tuition and fees run about $35.000 a year at Hami It on, and the program's annual budget is between $250,000 and $500,000, Adair said. In 2005. about 5.1 million people received monthly welfare payments from TANF and similar slate programs, a 60 percent drop from a decade before. But other government programs grew, offsetting the declines. About 44 million people - nearly one in six in the country .- relied on government serv ices for the poor in 2003, according to the most recent statistics compiled by the Census Bureau. That compares with about 39 million in 1996. Also, the number of people ~etting government aid to mcrease, contmues according to more recent enrollment figures from individual programs. Medicaid rolls alone topped 45 million people in 2005. pushed up in part by rising health care costs and fewer employers offering benetits. Nearlv 26 million people a mm1th received food stamps that year. Cash welfare recipients. by comparison. peaked at 14.2 million people in 1994. There is much debate over whether those leaving weifare for work should be offered more opponunities for training and education, so thev do not have to settle tilr low-paying jobs that keep them dependent on government programs.

Fla. 3·years later, odor still lingers at house where fuel was dumped AKRON (AP) - More than three years after a delivery driver mistakenly dumped 250 gallons of heating oil into the basement of a nonhcast Ohio home. the smell still lingers and the owners refuse to let anyone live inside, Thousands of dollars have been spent to clean the small red house in Copley Township. west of Akron. but the odor remains because the soil beneath it is contaminated. Owner Angela DeCaprio and her husband, Frank Demczyk, wh() now live west of Medina, refuse to rent the home because they are worried about the possible health effects of ex)JOsure to the fumes . They believe they might never be able to sell it. "It's kind of a waste of a house," Demczyk said. The fuel was dumped into the house in October 2003 by Gas and Oil Inc .. a company that owns gas stations and distributes heating oil. The delivery driver, who company owner Joseph Monesky said was ftred, opened an old pipe on the side of the house. pumped the fuel and left a bill for $288.22. The delivery was intended for a house down the road. The home's former fuel tank had been removed at least 20 years earlier. The couple's insuran,·e company. Western Reserve Group. paid , S67.696 in claims but did not renew the policy because the home is vacant. An investigator hired by the insurer has ackoowledged that the home would need to be tom down and the soil removed to alleviate the odor problem, the couple said. The insurer told them the policy covered the building and tts contents, not the land underneath. Gas and Oil acknowledges it made a mistake, but Monesky said the driver 's error would have been prevented if the homeowners had the pipe removed or sealed when the tank was taken out. "We're both at fault actually," Monesky said. Gas and Oii wasn't cited or tined for the accident, but DeCaprio and Demczyk have sued the company in Summit County Common Pleas Court. ''I want them to take that house down, clean it out and build me another one," DeCaprio said.

State records show at least 96 mercury spills at schools and universities in the past five years. In addition to the law, which takes effect in April, health inspectors plan to start going through school buildings next school year to look for mercury and · order it removed. Many districts already have banned mercury · because of its risk to children's brains, nervous systems and kidneys, but school officials don't always know they have the metal in their buildings. Officials in the Gahanna-Jefferson district in suburban Columbus were left wondering how a mercury thermometer had gotten into the hands of two science classes using it in an outdoor experiment when it broke outside a back door at Gahanna Middle School East in May 2004. The district had tried to rid classrooms of mercury devices two years earlier. "Certainly. we tried to look everywhere," spokeswoman Mary Otting said . "It might have been in the back of a drawer." The spill led to two tense hours as emergency workers inspected shoes to make sure no one tracked the toxic metal inside. It can cost thousands of dollars to clean up even a few drops of mercury. ,It' s common for schools to overlook mercurv thermometers, said · Mike Dalton , an emergency response coordinator for the Ohio Environmental Protection Agen~y's central district. The devices frequently are used in chemistry, biology and physics lab, . "As you take (cxpenments) apart and put them away, thermometers get put in different places." he said . The metal also is u'ed often in barometer s I<'I science class and in schO<•I nurses' blood preS>urc gauges. But mercury-free Fannin~ makes Hart tapped for honors group Deans List POMEROY Rand1 W.

The number of families receiving cash benefits from welfare has plummeted since the government imposed tiine limits on the payments a decade ago. But other programs for the poor, including Medicaid, food stamps and disability benefits, are bursting with new enrollees. The result , according to an Associated Press analysis: Nearly one in six people rely on some form of public assistance. a larger share than at any time since the government staned measuring two decades ago. Critics of the welfare overhaul say the numbers offer fresh evidence that few former recipients have become self-sufficient. even though millions have moved from welfare to work. They say the vast majority have been forced into low-paying jobs without benefits and few op~nunities to advance. ' If the goal of welfare reform was to gel people off the welfare rolls, bravo ," said \livyan Adair, a fanner welfare recipient who is now an assistant professor of women's studies at Hamilton College in upstate New' York. "If the goal was to · reduce poveny and give people economic and job stabilIty, it was not a success." Proponents of the changes in welfare say programs that once discouraged work now offer support to people in low-paying jobs. They pciint to expanded eligibility rules for food stamps and Medicaid . the health insur-. ance progrdlll for the poor, · that enable people to keep getting benefits even after • they stan working , "I don't have any problems with those programs growing, and indeed. they were intended to grow," said Ron Haskins, a former adviser to President Bush on welfare policy. "We've taken the step of ~etting way more people mto the labor force and they have taken a huge step toward self-sufficiency. What is the other choice''" he asked. In the early 1990s. critics contended the welfare system encouraged unemployment and promoted singleparent families. Welfare recipients , mostly single mothers, could lose benefits if they earned too much money or if they lived with the father of their children. Major changes in welfare were enacted in 1996, requiring most recipients to work but allowing them to continue some benefits after they staned jobs. The law imposed a five-year limit on cash payments for most people in the Temporary Needy Assistance for Families program , or TANF. Some states have shorter time limits. Nia Foster fits the pattern of dependence on government programs. She stopped getting cash welfare pay~nts in the late 1990s and has moved from one clerical job to another. None provided medical benefits. The 32-year-old mother of two from Cincinnati said she suppons her family with help from food stamps and Medicaid. Foster said she did not get any job training when she left welfare. She earned her' high-school eq-uivalency last year at a community college. "If you want to get educated or want to succeed. ~he welfare oftice don't care." Foster said . "I don't think they really care what you do once the benefits are gone." Foster now works in a tax office, a seasonal job that will end after April 15. She hopes to enroll at the University of Cincinnati this spring and would like to study accounting. She is waiting to find out if she qualifies for enough financial aid to cover tuition . "I like data processing. something where it's a bunch of invoices and you have to key them in," Foster said. "I want to be an accountant so bad." Shannon Stanfield took a difterent. less-traveled path from welfare. thanks to a generous program that offered her a chance to get a college education. Stanfield. 36, was cleaning houses, to support her two young children four years ago when she learned about a program for welfare recipients at nearby Hamilton College. a private liberal ans school in Clinton. NY "At the time I was living in a pretty run-down apartment," said Stanfield, who was getting welfare payments, Medicaid and food stamps. " It wasn't healthy." The program, called the Access Project. accepts about 25 welfare-eligible parents a year. Hamilton waives tuition for first-year students and the program supplrments financial aid in later years. Students get a hllst of social and career services. including help finding internships and jobs and financial assistance in times of crisis. About 140 fom1er welfare recipients have completed the program and none still relies on government programs for the poor. said Adair, the Hamilton professor who staned the Access Project in 200 I. Stanfield. who still gels Medicaid and food s,tamps . plans to graduate in May .~ with a bachelor's degree in theater. She wants to be a teacher. "I slowly built up my confidence through education," Stanfield said. "I can't honestly tell you how much it has changed my life." Programs such as the Access Project are not cheap, which is one reason they are rare. Tuition and fees run about $35.000 a year at Hami It on, and the program's annual budget is between $250,000 and $500,000, Adair said. In 2005. about 5.1 million people received monthly welfare payments from TANF and similar slate programs, a 60 percent drop from a decade before. But other government programs grew, offsetting the declines. About 44 million people - nearly one in six in the country .- relied on government serv ices for the poor in 2003, according to the most recent statistics compiled by the Census Bureau. That compares with about 39 million in 1996. Also, the number of people ~etting government aid to mcrease, contmues according to more recent enrollment figures from individual programs. Medicaid rolls alone topped 45 million people in 2005. pushed up in part by rising health care costs and fewer employers offering benetits. Nearlv 26 million people a mm1th received food stamps that year. Cash welfare recipients. by comparison. peaked at 14.2 million people in 1994. There is much debate over whether those leaving weifare for work should be offered more opponunities for training and education, so thev do not have to settle tilr low-paying jobs that keep them dependent on government programs.

But if Ian is still hung up on his ex-wife, any move you make in his direction would probably be shot down. making the current living arrangements awkward. If Ian is interested in you, he will send signals your way. You can casually flin with him a little and see if he responds, but you risk losing the friendship (and a roommate) if you actively pursue him when he's not ready.

Fla. 3·years later, odor still lingers at house where fuel was dumped AKRON (AP) - More than three years after a delivery driver mistakenly dumped 250 gallons of heating oil into the basement of a nonhcast Ohio home. the smell still lingers and the owners refuse to let anyone live inside, Thousands of dollars have been spent to clean the small red house in Copley Township. west of Akron. but the odor remains because the soil beneath it is contaminated. Owner Angela DeCaprio and her husband, Frank Demczyk, wh() now live west of Medina, refuse to rent the home because they are worried about the possible health effects of ex)JOsure to the fumes . They believe they might never be able to sell it. "It's kind of a waste of a house," Demczyk said. The fuel was dumped into the house in October 2003 by Gas and Oil Inc .. a company that owns gas stations and distributes heating oil. The delivery driver, who company owner Joseph Monesky said was ftred, opened an old pipe on the side of the house. pumped the fuel and left a bill for $288.22. The delivery was intended for a house down the road. The home's former fuel tank had been removed at least 20 years earlier. The couple's insuran,·e company. Western Reserve Group. paid , S67.696 in claims but did not renew the policy because the home is vacant. An investigator hired by the insurer has ackoowledged that the home would need to be tom down and the soil removed to alleviate the odor problem, the couple said. The insurer told them the policy covered the building and tts contents, not the land underneath. Gas and Oil acknowledges it made a mistake, but Monesky said the driver 's error would have been prevented if the homeowners had the pipe removed or sealed when the tank was taken out. "We're both at fault actually," Monesky said. Gas and Oii wasn't cited or tined for the accident, but DeCaprio and Demczyk have sued the company in Summit County Common Pleas Court. ''I want them to take that house down, clean it out and build me another one," DeCaprio said.

For more infom1ation call 1 7-l0-4-+6-505 3, COLUMBUS (AP) State officials say they hope a new law barring schools from buying any device that contains mercury will help eliminate spills of the toxic liquid metal. State records show at least 96 mercury spills at schools and universities in the past five years. In addition to the law, which takes effect in April, health inspectors plan to start going through school buildings next school year to look for mercury and · order it removed. Many districts already have banned mercury · because of its risk to children's brains, nervous systems and kidneys, but school officials don't always know they have the metal in their buildings. Officials in the Gahanna-Jefferson district in suburban Columbus were left wondering how a mercury thermometer had gotten into the hands of two science classes using it in an outdoor experiment when it broke outside a back door at Gahanna Middle School East in May 2004. The district had tried to rid classrooms of mercury devices two years earlier. "Certainly. we tried to look everywhere," spokeswoman Mary Otting said . "It might have been in the back of a drawer." The spill led to two tense hours as emergency workers inspected shoes to make sure no one tracked the toxic metal inside. It can cost thousands of dollars to clean up even a few drops of mercury. ,It' s common for schools to overlook mercurv thermometers, said · Mike Dalton , an emergency response coordinator for the Ohio Environmental Protection Agen~y's central district. The devices frequently are used in chemistry, biology and physics lab, . "As you take (cxpenments) apart and put them away, thermometers get put in different places." he said . The metal also is u'ed often in barometer s I<'I science class and in schO<•I nurses' blood preS>urc gauges. But mercury-free Fannin~ makes Hart tapped for honors group Deans List POMEROY Rand1 W.

"We have a ~e lf-imposed agreement that we will not order additional mercury . thermometers." said Roepcke. who also is science curriculum coordinator for Pickerington sc hool s. In a state law that took effect last yea r, the Ohio Department of Health was ordered to create more detailed school health ·i nspection standards by September.

The board also: • Approved the tinanctal reports for the month of January as submitted. • Approved an agreement "And we'll talk about it with this regime . I've said that I am prepared to meet my counterpart or an Iranian representative at any time if Iran will suspend its enrichment and reprocessing activities. That should be a clear signal." Rice said. The International Atomic Energy Agency said Thursday that Iran had ignored a U.N. Security Council ultimatum to freeze its uranium enrichment program and had expanded the program by settmg up hundreds of centrifuges. A council resolutton adopted Dec. 23 penalized Tehran and warned offurther punishment if Iran did nor comply. Diplomats from the t1ve permanent Security Council members and Germany planned to meet in London on Monday to begin discussing what steps to take to increase intemarional pressure on Tehran to cooperate. "People in Iran are concerned about the fact that financial institutions are moving out of Iran and refusin~ to deal with Iran," Rice sa1d. "They're concerned that their oil and gas t1elds need investment that they're probably not going to be able to get at the h1gh end because people are not going to take the reputauonal and investment risk of dealing with a country that has gotten itself into a verv bad club." But, she added. "I just want to repeat , Iran has another course that it can take . If it stops its enrichment and reprocessing activities, as demanded by the international community, we' re all prepared to have full -scale negotiations any time and any place." In addition to the nuclear impasse, the administration has clashed with Iran over Iraq. with the admimstration saying U.S. intelligence has pinpointed Tehran as supplymg weapons that have killed American soldiers. Defense Secretary Robert Gates has said the U.S. has no intention of attacking Iran. Bush, m defending the mtelligence on Iran, has said, "Does this mean you're rrymg to have a pretext for war? No. It means I'm trying to protect our troops " The New Yorker magazine reported in its latest issue that a special planning group has been set up in the offices of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to develop a bombing plan against Iran that could be activated within 24 hours of Bush's orders.

The board also: • Approved the tinanctal reports for the month of January as submitted. • Approved an agreement "And we'll talk about it with this regime . I've said that I am prepared to meet my counterpart or an Iranian representative at any time if Iran will suspend its enrichment and reprocessing activities. That should be a clear signal." Rice said. The International Atomic Energy Agency said Thursday that Iran had ignored a U.N. Security Council ultimatum to freeze its uranium enrichment program and had expanded the program by settmg up hundreds of centrifuges. A council resolutton adopted Dec. 23 penalized Tehran and warned offurther punishment if Iran did nor comply. Diplomats from the t1ve permanent Security Council members and Germany planned to meet in London on Monday to begin discussing what steps to take to increase intemarional pressure on Tehran to cooperate. "People in Iran are concerned about the fact that financial institutions are moving out of Iran and refusin~ to deal with Iran," Rice sa1d. "They're concerned that their oil and gas t1elds need investment that they're probably not going to be able to get at the h1gh end because people are not going to take the reputauonal and investment risk of dealing with a country that has gotten itself into a verv bad club." But, she added. "I just want to repeat , Iran has another course that it can take . If it stops its enrichment and reprocessing activities, as demanded by the international community, we' re all prepared to have full -scale negotiations any time and any place." In addition to the nuclear impasse, the administration has clashed with Iran over Iraq. with the admimstration saying U.S. intelligence has pinpointed Tehran as supplymg weapons that have killed American soldiers. Defense Secretary Robert Gates has said the U.S. has no intention of attacking Iran. Bush, m defending the mtelligence on Iran, has said, "Does this mean you're rrymg to have a pretext for war? No. It means I'm trying to protect our troops " The New Yorker magazine reported in its latest issue that a special planning group has been set up in the offices of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to develop a bombing plan against Iran that could be activated within 24 hours of Bush's orders.

The game marked the tirst time · Big Ten teams have met in a I vs. 2 game .

Kenseth. who got caught up in the last-lap melee the previou., 1\eck at the Daytona 500 and wound up 27th after starting that lap in third, stayed away from trouble Sunday in the Auto Club 500. He got the lead for good with a fast pit stop during a caution period just 23 laps from the tmish. The victory, his 15th in Cup, came with engineer Chip Bolin sitting in for suspended crew chief Robbie Reiser, sent home for four races after the team was caught cheating at the beginning of Daytona's Speedweek~ And it came less than 24 hours after the 2003 Cup champion won the Busch Series races on the same 2-mile oval. " It's a special one," said Kenseth. who broke the transmission on his No. 17 Roush Fenway Racing Ford as he spun his tires in a postrace celebration. "It's not without Robbie though. He spent the week at home while we were at Daytona bui !ding this car. Robbie built this team."· Kevin Harvick. who swept the Busch and Cup races at Daytona, came out of the tina) pit stop in second and was making up ground up Kenseth until rookie David Reutimann and former series champion Bobby Labonte crashed on lap 243 of the 250-lap event. NASCAR red-flagged the race to give safety ofticials time to clean up the debris from the wreck. Once the cars were restarted, Harvil:k found he had a deflating left front tire and had to pit. Three-time California winner Jeff Gordon. the only other multiple Cup race winner here, jumped past Jetf Burton into second on the restart with four laps to go, but couldn't get clnse to challenge enough Kenseth the rest of the way. Defending Cup champion Jimmie Johnson, who tinished 39th at Daytona, also bounced back with a thirdplace finish Sunday, followed by Burton.
