Choi wins Woods' inaugural tou~ament AP photo K.J. Choi holds the trophy after winning the AT&T National golf championship Sunday in Bethesda, Md. BETHESDA, Md. (AP) - Five weeks ago KJ. Choi received a tropby from Jack Nicklaus: On Sunday, he got one from Tiger Woods. The biggest name in South JS:orean golf was again the prized guest at a go If party thrown by an American star, punctuating an adventurous back nine with a great bunker shot on his way to a three-stroke victory over Steve Stricker at the inaugural AT&T National. Choi shot a final-round 68 for a 9under 271 total to win for the sixth time on the PGA Tour, the most victories by an asian-born player, and his · $1.08 million first-place check matched the one he ·got for winning Nicklaus' Memorial last month. This week, Woods joined Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer as players to host a tour event. The event was a red, white and blue spectacle surrounding the Fourth of July, but Choi added to the international flair, attracting a substantial gallery of local KoreanAmericans that cheered him in his native language. One fan held a si¥,n with a Korean flag with the words 'Go Tank," a reference to the nickname Choi earned after powerlifting 350 pounds as a 95-pound boy at age 13 .. He's also known for learning the game from a golf instructional book in Korean that featured pictures of J;lickfaus, a ~resent from a physacal education teacher who thought the teenage Choi might have a gift for the game. There's lfow no question that ChP.i, 37, has that gift. He wavered with three bogeys early on the back nine, jostling with Stricker atop the leaderboard, QUI Choi steadied himself with a 12-foot birdie putt at the 15th to take a two-shot !<:ad. That shot was worth two fist pumps from Choi's usually even-keeled demean~r. but the celebrati~n was bigger at the 17th. where Ch01 holed from the greenside trap for a birdie. Choi took off his visor, retrieved the ball and threw it into the crowd, assured that he would be the one to win the trophy that was a replica of the Capitol buildin¥,- with flags of all 50 -states' engraved m the sides. Stricker was among several possible contenders who struggled with the bumpy greens on a sweltering day at Congressional Country Clu~. Stricker had three bogeys on the back nine to finish with a 70. Mike Weir (74) also got close before three consecutive back~nine bogeys. Jim Furyk (69) was in 1Jte hunt before going 2 over after the tum. · -The third-round leader was Stuart Appleby at 9 under - two shots ahead of Choi - but he collapsed by -dropping six.strokes in his first seven holes. The free fall began when the Aussie put his tee shot beyond a ca{l path .at the par-3 No " 2, where he carded a double bogey after missing a 4-foot putt for bogey. Appleby shot a 40 on the front nine and a 76 for the day, finishing in a tie for third. at ) under. . .. . Woods was never really ID contention in his own tournai11ent. His putter lethim down on T~llr.s.day (73) and Saturday (69), ani! h[s 66 on Friday wasn't enoug~ to compensate. Seven strokes behmd ~s Sundat dawned, Woods played a.final round . of even-par 70 tha~ was more celebra, tory than competitive, as many m the crowd of 37,211 thanked him for bringing the PGA Tour back to the Washington area after the long-run~ ning Booz Allen Classic was pulled from the calendar last year. "I didn't get a 'W,' so that was {rus: !rating in that sense," said Woods, who finished tied for sixth at 2 under. "But thi.s tournament in general haS been a bigjler success than anyone: could have Imagined." . ..: Choi rejlained his stride. with a 2~~ foot birdie putt at the 12th, tying Stricker at 8 under. Stricker's bogeY. at the 14th gave Choi the solo leadj but Choi gave it back by' missing from 8 feet for par at the 13th.

I discovered the affair through cell phone records and confronted my husband. He said he met this woman when she gave him a ride to a store and that he has not seen her since. He told me he was only communicating with this woman over the telephone, because I don't like talking to him on the phone while he's driving. Annie, I know he was lying, but he assured me he would never talk to her again. He may be telling the truth , but I no longer trust him. I want to speak to this other woman, but she refuses to talk to me and hangs up when I call. · My husband must continue going to her city because he has a lucrative contract in the area.

":_WW.mydailysentinel.com Tuesday, July to, 2007 Immigration failure gives Senate profile in political cowardice In evident pain and remorse, a Republican senator confessed to a Hispanic . group from Maryland that his vote to kill immigration reform was "a profile in political cowardice." It was exactly that and not only for him, but for many senators who were terrorized by the political firestorm set loose by mainly rightwing radio and television talk-show loudmouths. The collapse of immigration reform on Thursday casts deep doubt on whether America's current political leaders can solve any large problem, especially when demagogues can stir up passion · against it. The instant case is immigration, but. in 2005, President Bush tried to start a discussion about Social Security reform and . it was torpedoed by reactionary liberal demagogues, who scared current seniors into thinking they'd lose benefits. Bush certainly deserves a large' measure of blame for the failure of bipartisan problem-solving. He has reached out to opponents only on rare occasions. Most of the time, he has inspired hyper-partisanship both on his side and within the Democratic opp!)sition. In the case of immigration reform, where his heart is in the right place, he should have used his influence years ago to win over the Republican base, including the talk-show claque. He also should have made border enforcement a key priority of his administration far earlier in order to defuse criticism that promises to restrict illegal immigration were empty. By the time the Bush • Tuesday, July to, 2007 ·administration' put 'on a push for comprehensive Illlmigration reform, the president's political capital was so deple.ted that he could persuade no one. This year's heavy lifting on behalf of reform was done by ·a previous opponent - Sen. Jon Kyl, RAriz. , whose state is ground zero in the immigration struggle and who came to realize this was a problem to be solved, not left to fester. · Kyl worked out a ' compromise measure with liberal Sen. · Edward Kennedy, D-Mass. 1 that was considerably to the right of the one that passed "the Senate in 2006 by a vote of 62-36. The measure guaranteed extra money for building the fencing between United States and Canada, a requirement (onerous, in my mind) that guest workers return home for a year after two-year stints in the United ·States, plus fines and fees for illegal immigrants to be used to help communities bear - the costs of the. fede~al government's past failure to make the border secure. These and other gains we~e not enough, however, for radio · and TV shouters such as Sean Hannity~ Rush Limbaugh; Pat Laura ~~ Ingraham , Buchanan and Lou Dobbs , who convinced masses of citizens that the KylKennedy bill .still amounted to "amnesty" for 12 million illegal immigrants. Sometimes intentional- ly, sometimes not, the talkers have stirred up anti-Hispanic racism and certainly anti-immigrant nativism. They also have indulged in what I'd call "Javert-ism," after Jean· Valjean' s nemesis in "Les Miserables," the attitude that any leniency toward lawbreakers will upset all order in the universe. In 2006, a much more liberal bill got 26 Republican · votes. On Thursday, only 12 Republicans voted to keep reform alive. What can only be called the "cowardice caucus" those who voted "yes" in 2006 and "no" this yearincludes Republican Sens. Sam Brownback (Kansas), who actually voted "yes" on Thursday, then changed his vote, Norm Coleman Susan (Minnesota), Collins (Maine) , Pete Domenici (New Mexico), Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (Kentucky), 'Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Gordon Smith (Oregon), George Voinovich (Ohio) and John Warner (Virginia.). It also includes Democratic Sens. Max Baucus (Montana), Evan Bayh (Indiana), Jeff Bingaman (New Mexico), Sherrod Brown (Ohio), Tom Harkin (Iowa), Mary Landrieu (Louisiana) and Mark Pryor (Arkansas). Those ·not scared off by restrictionists did the bidding . of the AFL-CIO, which was hostile to the guest-worker program. There was a "courage · caucus" as well, led by Kyl and including GOP $ens. Lindsey Graham (South Carohna), John McCain (Arizona), Trent Lott (Mississippi), Bob Bennett (Utah), Larry Craig (Idaho) and Judd Gregg (New Hampshire) , whose immediate political fortunes can't be bel ped by their support for reform. The most lasting and deserved political fallout from the failure of reform surely will be the Republican Party's loss of support among Hispanic · voters. Bu sh won 44 ,percent of the Hispanic vote in 2004, but Republican Congressional candidates received only 29 percent in 2006, according to exit polls. A recent Gallup Poll showed that only II percent now · identify as Republicans. But there are other foul consequences. · The Democratic Congress has failed to solve one of the country's biggest problems. There was a fair cha!}ce for bipartisan sue-: cess, but it couldn't be brought to pass. It was the result, in part, of ·public dissatisfac tion with Congress and Jack of trust in it. Polls consistently. showed that the public supported the elements of comprehensive immigration reform - including earned legalization - but opposed the Senate bill . The failure to solve this problem will only deepen dissatisfaction . •· Meanwhile, the big winners .in this fight are demagogues with microphones and their political allies. What they will demand next, presumably, is a campaign to drive illegal immigrants out of the country. You can expect to see some ugly sc·enes of families being torn apart and U.S. citizens of Hispanic origin being victimized . That's the price of cowardice. · (Morton Kondracke is executive editor of Roll Call, the newspaper of Capitol Hill.) . Obituaries The June 17 "breakthrQugh" deal between Sudan's leaders and the U.N.

White House spokesman Alex Conant said Acting Secretary of the Army Pete Gerant phoned Strickland on May 31, two days after the second letter, and spoke to him on behalf of the president · about his concerns. Grant's letter was a White House follow-up to tha\ telephone call, he said. Grant said in her letter that Bush has nearly doubled the money going to fighting forces and requested further aid for ongoing military and intelligence efforts. In response to Strickland's concerns about certain items of equipment, Grant noted that $15.6 ·billion has been provided for new vehicle armor replace and to replace worn out and lost battle equipment, including advanced nightvision goggles, counter-mortar and rocket systems.

His remarks followed an announcement that National Guard bri~ades in Ohio, Arkansas, Indtana and Oklahoma are being prepared to serve as replacement forces in the regular troop rotation for the war.

Vargo said he is focused on maintaining the humane custody of detained terror suspects, while keeping the 1,200 soldiers and sailors safe. under his command • The Daily Sentinel 2007 • DAYTON (AP) ~A new commander at Guantanamo Bay who hails from Ohio believes the detention camp in Cuba that houses terror - s uspects is serving a valuable purpose despite calls for its closure and plans to move detainees elsewhere. Army Col. Bruce Vargo, 47. a native of suburban Huber Heights, started his two-year command assig nment at Guantanamo on June 30. He serves under Rear Admiral Mark Buzby, commander of Joint Task Force-Guantanamo, and alongside commanders. of the joint medical and joint intelligence groups. "Although there may be many international communities who have called for closure of Guantanamo, 1 don't know if any have suggested a viable alternative," Vargo told the Dayton j)aily News in a telephone interview. "We have very dangerous men down here," he said. "Our allies have benefited from intelligence we've obtained. It's saved lives of innocent civilians, and it's protected coalition forces ."

AKRON (AP) The NASCAR circuit, whose Nextel, Busch and Craftsman Truck series rely exclusively on Goodyear Ttre & Rubber Co. tires, means high visibility for Goodyear, and an important ob for craftsmen woo spen years developing and building the precision tires. There's a lot Ill stake for Akron-based Goodyear and employees like Joe Nutter, 40, a ttre builder since Janum;>: 1998 at the company s Technical Center, the only place Goodyear makes specialized race tires, including those supplied to NASCAR. Goodyear's deal as the sole supplier of tires to NASCAR's top three racing series was renewed this year for another five years. Each of the 43 race teams lease up to 14 sets of four tires for use on any race day, Goodyear makes 150,000 or more NASCAR radial tires annually at its Akron Technical Center. That means revenue of about $62.4 mil- . lion. For a die-hard NASCAR fan like Nutter, building tires is fun, but he takes his job seriously. J. park and ratings-hungry baseball executives. He's done it six times before and didn't want to exert ·himself at age 42. "I love Barry," the New York Yankees· Alex Rodriguez said. "I wish he was there because I' m watching it and I want to see great players hit. It would have been awesome to watch him hit some into McCovey Cove." Bonds skipped his turn between Carlos Beltran and Griffey when the NL stars took batting practice. When he stepped into the cage a bit later. fans cheered and chanted ;"Barry' Barry 1" as he hit mostly liners and grounders. H;) did send · a few drives out toward the right, and ce nter-field seats. He hit seven homers in all, and fans in kayaks and rafts awaited his single splash shot, one diving into the chilly water to fish out a ball. Bonds hasn'i started a regularseason game in the No. 2 hole since June 6, 1987, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. although he batted second in the 1993 AllStar game at Baltimore. Players speculated he was pushed up that high in order to get him extra atbats .

The llic brothers join South Webster High School guard Josh Campbell as the newest members of the Rio Grande team. This the second recruiting class for French as he posted an II - I9 record in his initial season as-the bench boss for the Rectmen. " Gallia County OH It takes about nine months to learn how to build a tire, Nutter said. Then it takes a couple of more years to learn the best way to use the tirebuilding machinery, he said. It's long hours, too, Nutter said. He and his colleagues at the Technical Center typically work 68 hours a week -- five 12-hour days and one eighthour day. . And each tire, once it makes it to the track, has a brief life span. A NASCAR tire has a maximum life of about 150 miles. The goal is to build a tire that lasts a full fuel run, which differs for each track. A tire Nutter recently made was used during the Nextel Cup Series Coca-Cola~ on Memorial Day weekend just outside Charlotte, N.C. That tire, just two months old, ran 28 laps at Lowe's Motor Speedw,ay on a Chevrolet driven by Jimmie Johnson, the 2006 Nextel Cup champion. A lot of things can go wrong in a 400-lap, 600-mile race. Drivers llope tire blowouts are not a concern. TITC reliability depends on the artistry Nutter ani:! others put into making the highly specialized tires in the weeks and months before a•1ace. A race tire starts out as uncut layers of fabric, specialized nibber compound and reinforcing materials. Nutter's task is give them shape and form. "Precision, precision, precision," said Peg Anop, manager of occupation development and trainin$ for Tech Center manufactunng. As a fmal step, Nutter applies a small siicler in&ide tfie tire that reads: PROUDLY Tour ,to savor the moment. "It's going to be a great story to tell my kids, my grandchildren that I got a chance to not only suit up with Barry but provide some protection for Ken' Griffey Jr., as well," he said. "It's just an incredible honor. It's something I'll always remember."
