AS on tobacco lump sum BY MAn l.EINGANII ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER COLUMBUS-Gov. Ted Stric!dand is willing to take a $5 billion upfront payout from Ohio's share of a landmark settlement with tobacco companies and not regret it later. The Democratic governor, who released his first budget proposal last week, called for .taking the lump sum and using it to pay for the construction of new schools. It's a lot of money but less than the estimated $18 billion that Ohio would get over 40 years of installment payments from the settlement agreement, according to the state's Office of Budget and Management. Ohio would be the 19th state to take a lump sum through a process called securitization - · where the state .would sell the right to its future payments to investors in return for an immediate influx of cash. California. New York and. Michigan are among the states that have already used the strategy to plug budget holes. But at least one state is having second thoughts . Wisconsin Gov.

Documents from the investigative and auditing arm of Congress map a trail of bid. rebid. protests and appeals between 2003. when Walter Reed was first selected for outsourcing, and 2006. when a five year, $120 million Contract was finally awarded. The disputes involved hospital management, the Pentagon. Congress and lAP Worldwide Services Inc., a company with powerful political connections and the only private bidder to handle maintenance, security, public works and management of military personnel. While medical care was not directly affected. needed repairs went undone as the non-medical staff shrank from almost 300 10 less than 50 in the last year and hospital officials were unable to find enough skilled replacements. An investigative series by The Washington Post last month sparked a furor on Capitol Hill after it detailed subpar conditions at the 98-year-old hospital in northwest Washington and substandard services for patients. Three topranking military olficials. including the secretary of the Army, were ousted in part for what critics said was the Pentagon's mismanaged .effort to reduce costs and improve efficiency at the Army's premier military hospital while the nation was at war. lAP is owned by a New York hedge fund whose board is chaired by former Treasury Secretary John Snow, and it is led by former executives of Kellogg, Brown and Root, the subsidiary spun off by Texasbased Halliburton Inc., the oil services firm once run by Vice President Dick Cheney. lAP finally got the job in November 2006, but further delays caused by the Army and Congress delayed work until Feb. 4, two weeks before the Post series and two years after the number of patients at the hospital hit a record 900. 'The Army unfortunately did · not devote sufficient resources to the upfront planning part of this, and when you do that, you suffer every siep of the way," said Paul Denett, administrator for federal procurement policy at the Office of Management and Budget, the White House unit that prepares the president's budget and oversees government contracts. The contract includes management of Building 18. which houses soldiers with minor injuries and was highlighted in the Post series as symptomatic of substandard conditions: black mold on the walls of patient rooms, rodent and cockroach infestation, and shoddy mattresses. Those 54 rooms are now vacant. Interior work cannot be started until a badly damaged ·'roof is repaired. and that will need another contract because it's not covered in the lAP contract. Walter Reed officials said. "These rooms are exactly . as they were left," Sgt. Gary Rhett, manager of Building 18, said Thursday. "No changes have been made." The Army has confirmed the timing of the contraet delays but declined several requests for comment on why the protest and appeal process took so long, even as more and more injured soldiers were arriving. The trail goes back to the end of the Clinton administration. The Army began • studying the cost benefits of privatizalion in 2000. When President Bush took offi.:e. he mandated the competitive outsourcing of 425 ,000 federal jobs . At the time . the Pentagon was aggressively pushing for increased outsourcing. and in June 2003. then-Defense Secretarv Donald Rumsfefd told a Senate .:ommittee he was considering outsourcing up to 320.000 nonmilitary support jobs. That's the same year that the Army asked for bids on Walter Reed and. coincidentally. the same year the United States invad"ed Iraq. .One company responded: Johnson Controls World Services Inc ., which would be acquired by lAP in March 2005. It initially bid $132 million. but it and Walter Reed's then-management agreed that the Army was underestimating the .:ost. By September 2004, the Army had decided it would be cheaper to continue · with current management, which said it could do the work for $124.5 million. Johnson Controls filed a protest with the G . overnme nt Accountability Office. The protest was dismissed in June 2005, but the Army agreed to reopen bidding three months later to include additional costs for services. In January 2006, after two rounds of protests by lAP and two appeals by Walter Reed employees to the U.S. Anny Medical Command, lAP was named the winner, according to Steve Sanderson, a Walter Reed PageA2 The Daily Sentinel Monday, March 19, 2007 Community Calendar spokesman. Instead. in an "unusual tum of events, the contract wasn ' t awarded for another II months, the GAO said. Walter Reed officials blame several factors, including an additional protest to the GAO filed by Deputy Garrison Commander Alan D. King. a separate appeal to the U.S. Army Medical by Walter Command Reed's public works director, at least one intervention by Congre", and delays on required congressional notifications about government employee dismissals. lAP spokeswoman Arlene Mellinger said "it was up to the Army to decide when to begin that contract.'.' The company was ready to start at any time, she added. In August 2006. led by Sen. Barbara Mikulski, DMd.. lawmakers asked Secretary then-Army Francis J. Harvey to hold off on the contract until Congress finished work on the fiscal 2007 defense appropnattons bill. Congress approved that bill Sept. 29. The Army's plan then was to eliminate 360 federal jobs at Walter Reed in November and turn the work over to IAP, according to the American Federation of Government Employees, a federal workers' trade union . But the Army failed to notify Congress 45 days in advance, as required by law, so the turnover was delayed until early thi s year. Then it was lAP's turn to have problems. When work finally began at the hospital, lAP made an immediate request, whi.:h the Army approved. to hire 87 temporary ski lied workers for up to four months "10 ease the turbu,ence caused by employees being placed into positions or other installations and otherwise finding · new jobs early," said Sanderson, the Walter Reed official. However. a "tight" job market in the Washington area meant that only I0 qualified temporary employees were found. he added. Meanwhile, injured soldiers continue to arrive . weekly to a short-handed, deteriorated hospital. which the Army still plans to close in 20 II.

My husband. 36. is a good man and a great. playful father. He has a wonderful job that has enabled me to quit mine and stay home with my children. The problem is my husband has a drug addiction. He smokes marijuana every day. all day, before work. after work and during his breaks. When he goes without. he has mood swings and screams and shouts at the boys and me. Our second bathroom has been turned . into his personal smoke room. The kids and I are not allowed in. nor do we wish to use it. since he makes no effon to hide his drug paraphernalia. I knew abo11t his habit before we married, but we were young and I thought he would outgrow it. It is getting. harder to cover for Daddy when he goes to the bathroom every 30 minutes. You wouldn't think he would want this kind of environment for his children. He would never volunteer to go to rehab. I don't know what to do. Addict's Wife Dear Wife: An addict must be willing to quLt before progress can be made. and your husband isn't there yet. Plus. this is illegal. and if the authorities find out. your children wuld be removed from your home. You nmy need to ask your husband to leave until he gets clean. There are support groups for families of drug addicts. Please contact Families Anonymous (familiesanonymous.org) at 1800-736-9805 for help. And when vour husband wants to rejoin· the [eal world, suggest he try Marijuana (marijuanaAnonymous anonymous.org) at 1-800766-6779. Dear Annie: My son and his wife provided me with a gmnddaughter last summer. Ever since the birth of this child. I've had the feeling my son is not the father. I was in the hospital when the baby was born and got to hold her shortly after binh. It felt as if I were holding a stranger. There were none of the emotions I felt the previous . year. when my daughter provided me with a grandson..The shape of this child's eyes and feet bring to mind the children of my daughterin-law's best friend.

Documents from the investigative and auditing arm of Congress map a trail of bid. rebid. protests and appeals between 2003. when Walter Reed was first selected for outsourcing, and 2006. when a five year, $120 million Contract was finally awarded. The disputes involved hospital management, the Pentagon. Congress and lAP Worldwide Services Inc., a company with powerful political connections and the only private bidder to handle maintenance, security, public works and management of military personnel. While medical care was not directly affected. needed repairs went undone as the non-medical staff shrank from almost 300 10 less than 50 in the last year and hospital officials were unable to find enough skilled replacements. An investigative series by The Washington Post last month sparked a furor on Capitol Hill after it detailed subpar conditions at the 98-year-old hospital in northwest Washington and substandard services for patients. Three topranking military olficials. including the secretary of the Army, were ousted in part for what critics said was the Pentagon's mismanaged .effort to reduce costs and improve efficiency at the Army's premier military hospital while the nation was at war. lAP is owned by a New York hedge fund whose board is chaired by former Treasury Secretary John Snow, and it is led by former executives of Kellogg, Brown and Root, the subsidiary spun off by Texasbased Halliburton Inc., the oil services firm once run by Vice President Dick Cheney. lAP finally got the job in November 2006, but further delays caused by the Army and Congress delayed work until Feb. 4, two weeks before the Post series and two years after the number of patients at the hospital hit a record 900. 'The Army unfortunately did · not devote sufficient resources to the upfront planning part of this, and when you do that, you suffer every siep of the way," said Paul Denett, administrator for federal procurement policy at the Office of Management and Budget, the White House unit that prepares the president's budget and oversees government contracts. The contract includes management of Building 18. which houses soldiers with minor injuries and was highlighted in the Post series as symptomatic of substandard conditions: black mold on the walls of patient rooms, rodent and cockroach infestation, and shoddy mattresses. Those 54 rooms are now vacant. Interior work cannot be started until a badly damaged ·'roof is repaired. and that will need another contract because it's not covered in the lAP contract. Walter Reed officials said. "These rooms are exactly . as they were left," Sgt. Gary Rhett, manager of Building 18, said Thursday. "No changes have been made." The Army has confirmed the timing of the contraet delays but declined several requests for comment on why the protest and appeal process took so long, even as more and more injured soldiers were arriving. The trail goes back to the end of the Clinton administration. The Army began • studying the cost benefits of privatizalion in 2000. When President Bush took offi.:e. he mandated the competitive outsourcing of 425 ,000 federal jobs . At the time . the Pentagon was aggressively pushing for increased outsourcing. and in June 2003. then-Defense Secretarv Donald Rumsfefd told a Senate .:ommittee he was considering outsourcing up to 320.000 nonmilitary support jobs. That's the same year that the Army asked for bids on Walter Reed and. coincidentally. the same year the United States invad"ed Iraq. .One company responded: Johnson Controls World Services Inc ., which would be acquired by lAP in March 2005. It initially bid $132 million. but it and Walter Reed's then-management agreed that the Army was underestimating the .:ost. By September 2004, the Army had decided it would be cheaper to continue · with current management, which said it could do the work for $124.5 million. Johnson Controls filed a protest with the G . overnme nt Accountability Office. The protest was dismissed in June 2005, but the Army agreed to reopen bidding three months later to include additional costs for services. In January 2006, after two rounds of protests by lAP and two appeals by Walter Reed employees to the U.S. Anny Medical Command, lAP was named the winner, according to Steve Sanderson, a Walter Reed PageA2 The Daily Sentinel Monday, March 19, 2007 Community Calendar spokesman. Instead. in an "unusual tum of events, the contract wasn ' t awarded for another II months, the GAO said. Walter Reed officials blame several factors, including an additional protest to the GAO filed by Deputy Garrison Commander Alan D. King. a separate appeal to the U.S. Army Medical by Walter Command Reed's public works director, at least one intervention by Congre", and delays on required congressional notifications about government employee dismissals. lAP spokeswoman Arlene Mellinger said "it was up to the Army to decide when to begin that contract.'.' The company was ready to start at any time, she added. In August 2006. led by Sen. Barbara Mikulski, DMd.. lawmakers asked Secretary then-Army Francis J. Harvey to hold off on the contract until Congress finished work on the fiscal 2007 defense appropnattons bill. Congress approved that bill Sept. 29. The Army's plan then was to eliminate 360 federal jobs at Walter Reed in November and turn the work over to IAP, according to the American Federation of Government Employees, a federal workers' trade union . But the Army failed to notify Congress 45 days in advance, as required by law, so the turnover was delayed until early thi s year. Then it was lAP's turn to have problems. When work finally began at the hospital, lAP made an immediate request, whi.:h the Army approved. to hire 87 temporary ski lied workers for up to four months "10 ease the turbu,ence caused by employees being placed into positions or other installations and otherwise finding · new jobs early," said Sanderson, the Walter Reed official. However. a "tight" job market in the Washington area meant that only I0 qualified temporary employees were found. he added. Meanwhile, injured soldiers continue to arrive . weekly to a short-handed, deteriorated hospital. which the Army still plans to close in 20 II.

My husband. 36. is a good man and a great. playful father. He has a wonderful job that has enabled me to quit mine and stay home with my children. The problem is my husband has a drug addiction. He smokes marijuana every day. all day, before work. after work and during his breaks. When he goes without. he has mood swings and screams and shouts at the boys and me. Our second bathroom has been turned . into his personal smoke room. The kids and I are not allowed in. nor do we wish to use it. since he makes no effon to hide his drug paraphernalia. I knew abo11t his habit before we married, but we were young and I thought he would outgrow it. It is getting. harder to cover for Daddy when he goes to the bathroom every 30 minutes. You wouldn't think he would want this kind of environment for his children. He would never volunteer to go to rehab. I don't know what to do. Addict's Wife Dear Wife: An addict must be willing to quLt before progress can be made. and your husband isn't there yet. Plus. this is illegal. and if the authorities find out. your children wuld be removed from your home. You nmy need to ask your husband to leave until he gets clean. There are support groups for families of drug addicts. Please contact Families Anonymous (familiesanonymous.org) at 1800-736-9805 for help. And when vour husband wants to rejoin· the [eal world, suggest he try Marijuana (marijuanaAnonymous anonymous.org) at 1-800766-6779. Dear Annie: My son and his wife provided me with a gmnddaughter last summer. Ever since the birth of this child. I've had the feeling my son is not the father. I was in the hospital when the baby was born and got to hold her shortly after binh. It felt as if I were holding a stranger. There were none of the emotions I felt the previous . year. when my daughter provided me with a grandson..The shape of this child's eyes and feet bring to mind the children of my daughterin-law's best friend. Their feet have widely separc~ted toes, and so does my new granddau¥hter. Before my son and hts wife moved into their current house. they lived next door to this friend and her husband.

Gatling has told me directly . that they own all the coal rights in Meigs County but are still trying to porchase the coal rights from locals. They say that the property owner has to prove the ownership. People in the town of Racine have been approached to sell land and home s to make housing available for workers who will be brought imo this area to work this coal mine. The loss of sell of a home has already happened outside the city limits and the possihle loss of other sells is possible as well because land is too near coal mine or property will be mined under. School children will still have to leave to lind jobs. Will the coal companies sign statements saying they will be responsible to lix any damage that may occur years down. the road to property'' The coal dust wtll tly regardless ot what they use to try to control it. There are actually two veins of coal here and will they want both and if so. how will they get them? Gatling says they will mine l(>r at least 15 years, but will they expand the mining area later to get mnre possible coal'? Will the mining and blasting cause rocks to fall and roads to cave in at Antiquity '! Will the coal mine shave off some of the pillars as they leave the area to get more coal'! Will the water table in this area be affected that will contaminate people drinking water including Racine 's'? Will this area be a treat to terrorist attack that would include the largest number of power-plants in the USA·> Albert Proffitt Monday, March 19,2007 America's eyes should look to Europe Without attracting much attention, representatives of the Belgian political party Vlaams Belang recently visited Washington, D.C. Frank Vanhecke and Filip Dewinter hoped to meet members of Congress: but Congress was in recess. They hoped to engender some understanding of their program to reverse the Islamization of Belgi um; but the media were stripmining the tinsel life and tawdry times of Anna Nicole Smith. · Maybe they should have known that Tabloid America doesn't care about the likely transformation of Europe into an Islamic continent, let alone the fate of a Frenchand Dutch-speaking country of 10 million people. And while Literary America does write books about the transformation - "While Europe Slept" by Bruce Bawer, 'The War for the West" by Tony Blankley. and "America Alone" by Mark Steyn come to mind · Political America has yet to acknowledge or even notice this colossal, epoch-defining shift now taking place. Why don ' t our leaders face it? Thi s may be one of those questions our children will ask some day. But if such natural curiosity isn't expressed until the next generation. the civilizational struggle for Europe will certainly have been lost. Better to question our politicians now. Better to examine the ISSUe today. Europe, as we may readily revolution. Is such a revolution desirable? After writing nearly ince.santly about Islamization since Sept. II , I won't surprise anyone by saying no - not if freedom of conscience, religious equality or women's rights are your bag (not to mention the glorious representational artworks Eurol.": 's museums are stuffed wnh). Besides. the strategic implications for the United States are, in a word, bleak. In multiculturally totalitarian Belgi um, however, you make such judgments at your own risk. Vlaams Belang, a conservative, freemarket party that stands fur Flemish secession from the French-speaking part of Belgium and opposes continued immi~ration, now stands trial tn a Belgian court for a comment - a comment! Dewinter made in 2005 to a New York publication, The Jewish Week. When asked why Belgian Jews should vote for a party that espouses "xenophobia," Dewinter replied: "Xetiophobia is not the word I would use. If (it) absolutely must be a ' phobia,' let it be 'lslamophobia.' Yes, we 're afraid of Islam. The Islamization of Europe is a frightening thing." If convkted of the "crime" of "lslamophobia" ("1984," anyone?), the party would lose ns state funding. In a country that effectively prohibits private political fund-raising, Vlaams Diana West observe, is very far along in an accommodation with its still-increasing 'Muslim iliU1)igrant population that is resulting not in the Europeanizing of Islam, but rather thl' lslamizing of Europe. As Bernard Lewis declared in 2004, Europe will have an lslan1ic majorit;Y by the end of the 21st century at the latest. As Vlaams Belang's Dewinter recently put it, "We are becomin~ foreigners in our own land. ' Such tragic pronouncements turn conversation with Vlaams Belang into a kind of political free verse - sadly evocative but rooted in a desperate reality that should shake American complacency. That is, "foreigners in our land" is poetry; Mohammed as the most popular boy's name in Brussels for six years running is implacable fact. The idea that "We are living on a dying continent but we are not dead yet," as Dewinter has e~plained, is metaphoricaL His citation from Libyan dictator Muammar Qaddafi that "Allah is mobilizing Muslim Thrkey to add 50 million more Muslims" to the European Union augurs world-class Belang - the largest party in Belgium - would ulti mately cease to exist. And so, too. would free speech in the center of Europe. Before I met Vlaams Belang's Frank Vanhecke and Filip Dewinter in Washington, I believed Europe's rush to lslamize itself was a stampede, its transformation all but inevitable. Now, I think these men have at least earned Europe the benefit of the doubt. Studying their various statements and interviews. I found no evidence to support the crude slanders to which they are continually subjected in the media for being a right-wing party opposed to the massive Islami c immigration now transforming traditional European culture. Indeed, their statements on Israel are more supportive than any European party I know of. As Vanhecke put it in a recent speech, "They call us ' intolerant ' because we oppose intolerance. They call us 'fascists· because we oppose lslamo-fasc ism. They call us 'the children of holocaust perpetrators.' because we oppose lslamists who are preparing a new holocaust against the Jews.' " America must start paying attention to Europe. And to Vlaams Belang. (Diana West is a columnist for The Washington limes. She can be contacted via diana west@\•erizm1. ner.)

It was no secret that people with spotty credit hrstories were increasingly allowed to borrow money to buy homes more costly than their limited income would deem prudent. The ' business grew sharply in recent years. About 20 percent ot total new mortgage issuance in 2006 was to subprime borrowers, up from 5 percent a decade ago. That created $600 billion in new obligations last year. "As the Fed was raising rates over the past three years, mortgage lenders were oftering teaser rates to suck more borrowers into the mongage market." said economist Ed Yardeni. "If you lend money to someone who doesn't qualify to borrow money in the first place, why the surprise when they don•t pay?" For the subprime woes to widen to the overall economy, Americans who don't have low credit scores will have to start struggling to pay off the money that they also borrowed. A hint of that showed up in a repon by the Mortgage · Bankers Association this week that said prime lixed-rate mortgage delinquencies rose to 2.27 percent in the fourth quartet from 2.10 percent in · the third quarter. Also worrisome is • whether there will be a widespread credit squeeze if all lenders start clamping down on borrowing. That would be especially bad for the already battered housing market. since it would likely mean fewer mortgages issued at a time when there is a growing glut of housing supply available. · What's missing in this litany of woes is the health of the job market. Put simply, people with jobs are le.s likely to miss or default on their loans. "Most borrowers now should be able to make their payments because the job market looks stable." said Gary Thayer•. chief economist at St. Louis-based A. G. Edwards & Sons Inc. "The situation would get worse if the business hiring starts to change." The latest employment data available 'shows the job market is still in goOd shape and paychecks growing at a faster pace than inflation. Outside the job losses see n in housing-related industries. there have been employment gains elsewhere including at health care facilities, financial companies. computerdesign firms, bars and restaurants. retailers and the government. . The unemployment rate dipped in February to 4.5 percent. while average hourly earnings jumped to $ 17.16, representing a 4.1 percent increase over the last 12 months. The Labor Department reported Thursday that the number of Americans tiling claims for unemployment benefits dropped by 12.000 to 318,000 last week, the second consecutive weekly decline. Higher wages help offset some of the strain on household linances that have come from rising mortgage payments for those borrowers who were loaned money with adjustable rates and now are seeing their interest expenses rise. A solid employment picture also raises the likelihood that consumer spend- · ing will hold up - a key component to keeping the economic engine going. What Wall Street ha' to remembe r ts that the Federal Reserve "can come to the rescue if needed." notes Goldman Sachs economist Andrew Tilton. If consumer spending were to slow sharpl y alon~side a broad tightening ot credit, the Fed's policymakers could start cutting overnight bOrrowing rates to keep the U.S. economy from stalling. That's why investors might want to look beyond the subprime doom. Things might not be as bad they look. Pets Tips from PageA1 from PageA1 tromPageA1 investigation, with Cpl. Rick Bennett as the lead investigator. McCormick was arraigned Thursday before Magistrate Gail Roush. who set bond at $150,<XXl. He remains in the Western Regional Jail. having grown up without owners to care for them, shelter workers say these adult dogs are well adjusted and love people. The Meigs County Dog Shelter has adoption hours from 8:30-11 a.rn., MondaySaturday. Proffitt said he can arrange a special meeting time for people who can't make it to the shelter during regular adoption hours. Call 992-3779 for more information. The cost to adopt a dog at the shelter for those that live in tlie county is $21, a price which includes a county dog tag. For those living outside the county, the adoption price is $15, a price which does not include a county dog dog. Proftltt said the shelter has been using Petfinder.com for a little over a year now. In the workshop, Kneen explained the role of pruning - to improve the health of a plant, to make plants more attractive, to stimulate growth and flowering as well as to control growth. He said now is a good time to prune evergreens to remove dead, diseased or injured parts along with uneven growth, but cautioned that !lowering shrubs, such as forsythia, should not be trimmed until after they have flowered. Kneen stressed the importance of "opening up" the shrub so that it can receive more sunlight during the growing season . Removing suckers, low branches and "water" sprouts also stimulates growth, he said. - so it makes sense to get what you can now, he said. But Seitz questions whether the state can raise billions of dollars in time for the start of a two-year budget cycle scheduled to begin July I. "I think it would imprudent for us to build a budget around a revenue source until we actually get it," Seitz said. Strickland said he's confi- dent that investors will pay for securitized tobacco bonds and that the current market will generate $5 billion. Tax collections are expected to decline by $40 million over the next two years - in part because of recent Republican-sponsored tax cuts - and Ohio has to 'find money to pay for new schools that the state has already approved, he said.

Gatling has told me directly . that they own all the coal rights in Meigs County but are still trying to porchase the coal rights from locals. They say that the property owner has to prove the ownership. People in the town of Racine have been approached to sell land and home s to make housing available for workers who will be brought imo this area to work this coal mine. The loss of sell of a home has already happened outside the city limits and the possihle loss of other sells is possible as well because land is too near coal mine or property will be mined under. School children will still have to leave to lind jobs. Will the coal companies sign statements saying they will be responsible to lix any damage that may occur years down. the road to property'' The coal dust wtll tly regardless ot what they use to try to control it. There are actually two veins of coal here and will they want both and if so. how will they get them? Gatling says they will mine l(>r at least 15 years, but will they expand the mining area later to get mnre possible coal'? Will the mining and blasting cause rocks to fall and roads to cave in at Antiquity '! Will the coal mine shave off some of the pillars as they leave the area to get more coal'! Will the water table in this area be affected that will contaminate people drinking water including Racine 's'? Will this area be a treat to terrorist attack that would include the largest number of power-plants in the USA·> Albert Proffitt Monday, March 19,2007 America's eyes should look to Europe Without attracting much attention, representatives of the Belgian political party Vlaams Belang recently visited Washington, D.C. Frank Vanhecke and Filip Dewinter hoped to meet members of Congress: but Congress was in recess. They hoped to engender some understanding of their program to reverse the Islamization of Belgi um; but the media were stripmining the tinsel life and tawdry times of Anna Nicole Smith. · Maybe they should have known that Tabloid America doesn't care about the likely transformation of Europe into an Islamic continent, let alone the fate of a Frenchand Dutch-speaking country of 10 million people. And while Literary America does write books about the transformation - "While Europe Slept" by Bruce Bawer, 'The War for the West" by Tony Blankley. and "America Alone" by Mark Steyn come to mind · Political America has yet to acknowledge or even notice this colossal, epoch-defining shift now taking place. Why don ' t our leaders face it? Thi s may be one of those questions our children will ask some day. But if such natural curiosity isn't expressed until the next generation. the civilizational struggle for Europe will certainly have been lost. Better to question our politicians now. Better to examine the ISSUe today. Europe, as we may readily revolution. Is such a revolution desirable? After writing nearly ince.santly about Islamization since Sept. II , I won't surprise anyone by saying no - not if freedom of conscience, religious equality or women's rights are your bag (not to mention the glorious representational artworks Eurol.": 's museums are stuffed wnh). Besides. the strategic implications for the United States are, in a word, bleak. In multiculturally totalitarian Belgi um, however, you make such judgments at your own risk. Vlaams Belang, a conservative, freemarket party that stands fur Flemish secession from the French-speaking part of Belgium and opposes continued immi~ration, now stands trial tn a Belgian court for a comment - a comment! Dewinter made in 2005 to a New York publication, The Jewish Week. When asked why Belgian Jews should vote for a party that espouses "xenophobia," Dewinter replied: "Xetiophobia is not the word I would use. If (it) absolutely must be a ' phobia,' let it be 'lslamophobia.' Yes, we 're afraid of Islam. The Islamization of Europe is a frightening thing." If convkted of the "crime" of "lslamophobia" ("1984," anyone?), the party would lose ns state funding. In a country that effectively prohibits private political fund-raising, Vlaams Diana West observe, is very far along in an accommodation with its still-increasing 'Muslim iliU1)igrant population that is resulting not in the Europeanizing of Islam, but rather thl' lslamizing of Europe. As Bernard Lewis declared in 2004, Europe will have an lslan1ic majorit;Y by the end of the 21st century at the latest. As Vlaams Belang's Dewinter recently put it, "We are becomin~ foreigners in our own land. ' Such tragic pronouncements turn conversation with Vlaams Belang into a kind of political free verse - sadly evocative but rooted in a desperate reality that should shake American complacency. That is, "foreigners in our land" is poetry; Mohammed as the most popular boy's name in Brussels for six years running is implacable fact. The idea that "We are living on a dying continent but we are not dead yet," as Dewinter has e~plained, is metaphoricaL His citation from Libyan dictator Muammar Qaddafi that "Allah is mobilizing Muslim Thrkey to add 50 million more Muslims" to the European Union augurs world-class Belang - the largest party in Belgium - would ulti mately cease to exist. And so, too. would free speech in the center of Europe. Before I met Vlaams Belang's Frank Vanhecke and Filip Dewinter in Washington, I believed Europe's rush to lslamize itself was a stampede, its transformation all but inevitable. Now, I think these men have at least earned Europe the benefit of the doubt. Studying their various statements and interviews. I found no evidence to support the crude slanders to which they are continually subjected in the media for being a right-wing party opposed to the massive Islami c immigration now transforming traditional European culture. Indeed, their statements on Israel are more supportive than any European party I know of. As Vanhecke put it in a recent speech, "They call us ' intolerant ' because we oppose intolerance. They call us 'fascists· because we oppose lslamo-fasc ism. They call us 'the children of holocaust perpetrators.' because we oppose lslamists who are preparing a new holocaust against the Jews.' " America must start paying attention to Europe. And to Vlaams Belang. (Diana West is a columnist for The Washington limes. She can be contacted via diana west@\•erizm1. ner.)

Outside the job losses see n in housing-related industries. there have been employment gains elsewhere including at health care facilities, financial companies. computerdesign firms, bars and restaurants. retailers and the government. . The unemployment rate dipped in February to 4.5 percent. while average hourly earnings jumped to $ 17.16, representing a 4.1 percent increase over the last 12 months. The Labor Department reported Thursday that the number of Americans tiling claims for unemployment benefits dropped by 12.000 to 318,000 last week, the second consecutive weekly decline. Higher wages help offset some of the strain on household linances that have come from rising mortgage payments for those borrowers who were loaned money with adjustable rates and now are seeing their interest expenses rise. A solid employment picture also raises the likelihood that consumer spend- · ing will hold up - a key component to keeping the economic engine going. What Wall Street ha' to remembe r ts that the Federal Reserve "can come to the rescue if needed." notes Goldman Sachs economist Andrew Tilton. If consumer spending were to slow sharpl y alon~side a broad tightening ot credit, the Fed's policymakers could start cutting overnight bOrrowing rates to keep the U.S. economy from stalling. That's why investors might want to look beyond the subprime doom. Things might not be as bad they look. Pets Tips from PageA1 from PageA1 tromPageA1 investigation, with Cpl.

The Meigs County Dog Shelter has adoption hours from 8:30-11 a.rn., MondaySaturday. Proffitt said he can arrange a special meeting time for people who can't make it to the shelter during regular adoption hours. Call 992-3779 for more information. The cost to adopt a dog at the shelter for those that live in tlie county is $21, a price which includes a county dog tag. For those living outside the county, the adoption price is $15, a price which does not include a county dog dog. Proftltt said the shelter has been using Petfinder.com for a little over a year now. In the workshop, Kneen explained the role of pruning - to improve the health of a plant, to make plants more attractive, to stimulate growth and flowering as well as to control growth. He said now is a good time to prune evergreens to remove dead, diseased or injured parts along with uneven growth, but cautioned that !lowering shrubs, such as forsythia, should not be trimmed until after they have flowered. Kneen stressed the importance of "opening up" the shrub so that it can receive more sunlight during the growing season . Removing suckers, low branches and "water" sprouts also stimulates growth, he said. - so it makes sense to get what you can now, he said. But Seitz questions whether the state can raise billions of dollars in time for the start of a two-year budget cycle scheduled to begin July I. "I think it would imprudent for us to build a budget around a revenue source until we actually get it," Seitz said. Strickland said he's confi- dent that investors will pay for securitized tobacco bonds and that the current market will generate $5 billion. Tax collections are expected to decline by $40 million over the next two years - in part because of recent Republican-sponsored tax cuts - and Ohio has to 'find money to pay for new schools that the state has already approved, he said.

SHI!ERAN ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER MASU RY - A '\crybaby killer" whose chance meeting with a young mother at a bar led to a night of horror faces execution for killing her. cutting up her body ami dumping the parts in twn states. By most accounts. Ken Biros. now 48. was a hard· working guy with just a drunken-dri ving and theft record when he met Tami Engstrom, 21 . after work on the night of Feb. 7. 1991. in a tavern here on a northeast Ohio hillside overlooking abandoned steel mills of Shm-on. Pa. Biros is to be transferred by Monday afternoon from death row in Youngstown to the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility in Lucasville, where executions are carried out, prisons spokeswoman Andrea Dean said Sunday. A request to delay the execution. scheduled for Tuesday. is before the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati . Similar appeals based on the claim that Ohio's method of lethal iJ\jection is cruel and unusual punishment have resulted in contlicting court rulings in the past year. Forn1er cult leader Jeffrey Lundgren was executed Oct. 24 despite his appeal. others were delayed. · Family members recall Engstrom as a beautiful wife and proud mother of a 1 112year-old son with a zest for life, outgoing and ready to help people. Their lives crossed paths in a late-night meeting when Engstrom went to the Nickelodeon Lounge where her uncle worked. After drinking, she apparently passed' out, awoke and planned to drive home when Biros, an acquaintance of the uncle, offered to give her a ride. The two left together and she was never seen again. Rocky Fonce. a Brooktield Townillip police detective working his first case. knew Biros as a ·'per· fectly normal " guy from the area but noticed Birus quickly got nervous while bein~ questioned about the nussmg woman. "All of a sudden, I'm watching his swallowing, I'm watching his respiration. Kenny's getting scared. I'm starting to get bad feel ings... said Fonce. who had held out hope that Biros and Engstrom had parted ways and Engstrom was trying to lind her way home. Fonce got Biros to admit something bad had happened but. fearing legal problems with any confession. left him to consult privately with an attorney who emerged ashen-faced. At that point. "I'm still thinking an accidental death... Fonce said. The attorney said Biros was willing to take police to the "locations" where Engstrom's body would be found. At that moment, the horror dawned on Fonce. "I said, 'He cut her up.' This was no accident. I said, 'This was a mutilation. This goofball murdered this girl and he cut her up."' The search based on Biros' information led to body parts that had been buried, and some dug up and reburied, near Masury and in adjacent areas of Venango and Butler counties in northwest Pennsylvania. Her head. right breast and right leg had been severed, intestines were found in a swampy area in Ohio, a leg was broken. over a railroad track, the torsq was found in a rural area of Pennsylvania !~Jld of a liver was found an 81l'OS' car. · The victim's frantic family, already dreading that she was dead, had to wait nearly a day for confUlllation of the crime based on the search for body parts. Some organs were never found. - ''The nightmare just escalated and escalated and van sion will focus on specilic programs, projects and polocy strategtes to create the core outcomes for the statewide physical activity plan.

An Internet database would allow judges. attorneys and the public to easily reference criminal and civil cases, but putting vast amounts of paperwork online· also creates security and privacy concerns. While groups representing probate and municipal coun Judges and the Ohio Clerk of Couns Association support the program. juvenile and domestic coun judges have remained ~lent because of concerns about privacy. Since the public would have access. couns would have to son through prickly issues of how to ensure that private information, such as Social Security numbers, isn't posted online. "There are some downsides, one being standards for privacy issues," said Mark retired Judge Schweikert, executive director of the Ohio Judicial Conference, which supports the network. "You have to think about putting things on the Internet as publishing" as well as an access tool, he said. Of'lkials also would have to figure out how to coordinate between courts that use different formats for their records. "The lo~istics.will be ditlicult," satd Keith Hurley. chief deputy of the Cuyahoga County clerk of courts. "I think it makes per· feet sense to do it. but I think there will be a lot of issues to tigure out because every one of us has a different case management system."

Harang, the projected opening-day starter for .the Reds, pitched five innings, allowing four runs ~ three earned and eight hits while striking out nine. Harang led the NL with 216 strikeouts in 2006. "It seems like they were hitting my off-speed pitch," Harang said. '1'he only ball hit really hard was Francoeur's, the other one (by Johnson) was a fly ball.

Harang started for Cincinnati on opening day last season when President Bush visited. which meant the pitcher had to adjust his pregame schedule.

SHI!ERAN ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER MASU RY - A '\crybaby killer" whose chance meeting with a young mother at a bar led to a night of horror faces execution for killing her. cutting up her body ami dumping the parts in twn states. By most accounts. Ken Biros. now 48. was a hard· working guy with just a drunken-dri ving and theft record when he met Tami Engstrom, 21 . after work on the night of Feb. 7. 1991. in a tavern here on a northeast Ohio hillside overlooking abandoned steel mills of Shm-on. Pa. Biros is to be transferred by Monday afternoon from death row in Youngstown to the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility in Lucasville, where executions are carried out, prisons spokeswoman Andrea Dean said Sunday. A request to delay the execution. scheduled for Tuesday. is before the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati . Similar appeals based on the claim that Ohio's method of lethal iJ\jection is cruel and unusual punishment have resulted in contlicting court rulings in the past year. Forn1er cult leader Jeffrey Lundgren was executed Oct. 24 despite his appeal. others were delayed. · Family members recall Engstrom as a beautiful wife and proud mother of a 1 112year-old son with a zest for life, outgoing and ready to help people. Their lives crossed paths in a late-night meeting when Engstrom went to the Nickelodeon Lounge where her uncle worked. After drinking, she apparently passed' out, awoke and planned to drive home when Biros, an acquaintance of the uncle, offered to give her a ride. The two left together and she was never seen again. Rocky Fonce. a Brooktield Townillip police detective working his first case. knew Biros as a ·'per· fectly normal " guy from the area but noticed Birus quickly got nervous while bein~ questioned about the nussmg woman. "All of a sudden, I'm watching his swallowing, I'm watching his respiration. Kenny's getting scared. I'm starting to get bad feel ings... said Fonce. who had held out hope that Biros and Engstrom had parted ways and Engstrom was trying to lind her way home. Fonce got Biros to admit something bad had happened but. fearing legal problems with any confession. left him to consult privately with an attorney who emerged ashen-faced. At that point. "I'm still thinking an accidental death... Fonce said. The attorney said Biros was willing to take police to the "locations" where Engstrom's body would be found. At that moment, the horror dawned on Fonce. "I said, 'He cut her up.' This was no accident. I said, 'This was a mutilation. This goofball murdered this girl and he cut her up."' The search based on Biros' information led to body parts that had been buried, and some dug up and reburied, near Masury and in adjacent areas of Venango and Butler counties in northwest Pennsylvania. Her head. right breast and right leg had been severed, intestines were found in a swampy area in Ohio, a leg was broken. over a railroad track, the torsq was found in a rural area of Pennsylvania !~Jld of a liver was found an 81l'OS' car. · The victim's frantic family, already dreading that she was dead, had to wait nearly a day for confUlllation of the crime based on the search for body parts. Some organs were never found. - ''The nightmare just escalated and escalated and van sion will focus on specilic programs, projects and polocy strategtes to create the core outcomes for the statewide physical activity plan.

An Internet database would allow judges. attorneys and the public to easily reference criminal and civil cases, but putting vast amounts of paperwork online· also creates security and privacy concerns. While groups representing probate and municipal coun Judges and the Ohio Clerk of Couns Association support the program. juvenile and domestic coun judges have remained ~lent because of concerns about privacy. Since the public would have access. couns would have to son through prickly issues of how to ensure that private information, such as Social Security numbers, isn't posted online. "There are some downsides, one being standards for privacy issues," said Mark retired Judge Schweikert, executive director of the Ohio Judicial Conference, which supports the network. "You have to think about putting things on the Internet as publishing" as well as an access tool, he said. Of'lkials also would have to figure out how to coordinate between courts that use different formats for their records.

(AP) - Ohio State thought Greg Oden was its best shot at a national championship. Turns out it was Ron Lewis, and in the nick of time. Lewis capped a furious rally by hitting a long-range 3-pointer with two seconds left to force overtime, and the top-seeded Buckeyes beat Xavier 78-71 Saturday in a second-round South Regional game. Ohio State trailed 55-44 with 7 1/2 minutes left. and was still down 61-52 with 2:54 lett. When Oden fouled out with a hard sho'l'e after the Buckeyes kept missing in the la.~t 10 seconds. they looked lost. Xavier's Justin Cage then made of one of two foul shots with 9.3 seconds left for a 62-59 lead, giving Ohio State its last chance. Lewis came down and. with two defenders flying at him, swished the tying 3-pointer from several feet beyond the arc. With Oden on the bench, · fellow freshman - and high school teammate - Mike Conley Jr. took over. He scored II points in overtime and the Buckeyes (32- 3) were never threatened again in winning their 19th straight game. The Buckeyes, who finished No. I in the final Associated Press poll, advanced to the round of 16 for the frrst time since they went to the Final • Four in 1999. They will play the winner of Sunday s game between Tennessee and V"JCginia Xavier (25-9), which has a history of knocking off higher seeds in the NCAA tournament, was unranked in the final AP poll. No one had to tell Ohio State about Xavier's tourney reputation. Buckeyes coach Thad Matta helped build it, serving as Musketeers coach for three seasons before leaving the Atlantic 10 school in 2004. His good friend, Sean Miller, took over at Xavier. But this time, the Musketeers couldn't quite get the job done. Cage, who led Xavier with 25 points. had a chance to all but win the game. He made his first foul shot but missed his second, and Ohio State had a chance to save its sea- Georgia in those years. Pulling off Saturday's biggest upset might be enough to erase all that. "We just got sick and tired of people underestimating us," said Dohlman, who finished with seven points and four steals and 'eamed kudos for standing her ground against Davenport. "They definitely played physical down low. but it's all about staying within yourself." The Red Foxes drew three oft"ensive fouls in the second half and forced fourth-seeded Ohio State into poor decisions down the stretch and 23 total turnovers. Rachele Fitz, Marist's leading scorer and rebounder averaging 15 points and 6.4 rebounds, made back -tobuck baskets to tie it at 49 with I 0:05 to play, then Viani gave the Red Foxes their first lead of the half on a 3-pointer from the top of the arc on their next possession.

The Bristol race next Sunday will also be the debut of NASCAR's new Car of Tomorrow, which could throw a wild card into the mix, depending on which teams figure out of the all-new, bigger and boxier car first. • Middleport • Pomeroy, Ohio ;;n l'FNTS • \'ol. ;)h, :'\u .
