Black Friday and Chn•stmas ~0d and g"¥oen Happy " Black Friday'" Don't know what that means? A few years ago, retailers figured out that the Day -after- Thank sgivi ng sales were what pushed them out of the "red" in losing money into the "black" of turning a profit for the year. So "Black Friday" became the symbolic tumaround req ui red to be successful in retail sales. Have you noticed that the after-Thanksgiving sales incentives keep getting bigger and bigger? I. heard that Kohl' s is opening at 4 a. m. Friday with "door-buster" sales incentives to get consumers up and out of bed and into their stores. But it's not just afterThanksgivi ng anymore . Some stores have started opening 0 11 Thanksgiving Day to try and boost their bottom line. Wal -Mart keeps its physical stores closed on Thanksgiving Day, but wa lmart:co m is open for business 24x7, and its Thanksgiving Day sales have been greater 'than any other online retailer. What's driying this buying and selling frenzy? Christmas "green." Somehow our culture has gradually bought into the idea that each year's Christmas has to be bigger and better than last year's Christmas in terms of quantity and cost of presents. Of ·course, retailers love this trend - and even drive it! Have you seen the commercial where Mom and the kids are eager to open their store-branded wrapped gifts? Dad comes in and announces that they can open their gifts when they get back from seeing Grandma. Next, they're in the car outside Grandma's house; Grandma opens her door and beckons them ' a.m ..

Black Friday and Chn•stmas ~0d and g"¥oen Happy " Black Friday'" Don't know what that means? A few years ago, retailers figured out that the Day -after- Thank sgivi ng sales were what pushed them out of the "red" in losing money into the "black" of turning a profit for the year. So "Black Friday" became the symbolic tumaround req ui red to be successful in retail sales. Have you noticed that the after-Thanksgiving sales incentives keep getting bigger and bigger?

Wal -Mart keeps its physical stores closed on Thanksgiving Day, but wa lmart:co m is open for business 24x7, and its Thanksgiving Day sales have been greater 'than any other online retailer.

Somehow our culture has gradually bought into the idea that each year's Christmas has to be bigger and better than last year's Christmas in terms of quantity and cost of presents. Of ·course, retailers love this trend - and even drive it! Have you seen the commercial where Mom and the kids are eager to open their store-branded wrapped gifts? Dad comes in and announces that they can open their gifts when they get back from seeing Grandma. Next, they're in the car outside Grandma's house; Grandma opens her door and beckons them ' a.m ..

' 214.21 Friday, November 23, 2007 Friday, November 23 , 2007 · Terry Mattingly s ti ~ ke r has changed from what I thought was the original meaning to, 'Well. Jesus didn 't quite get it right, becau se I have a lot here and I also have it in heaven. too. So I have all the bases covered."' · After years of di gging in the data. Sm ith has reached some sobering conclusions about beli evers and their checkbooks. It's true that Americans give away lots of money, in comparison with people in uther modern societies. It's also tru e that reli gious Americans are much more generous than nonreligious Americans. But here's the bottom line: The top 10 percent of America's givers are very generous, while 80 percent or more rarely, if ever, make charitable donations of any kind. "This is the glass half-full perspective ," said Smith. ··we·re not doing too bad. We're doing pretty good. However. most American Christian s turn out to be stingy financial givers most, but not all." The Daily Sentinel • Page As ahead stan Carmel Kitchen open they do not have the resources to act." Ministers are often. afraid to talk about this issue openly, ,in large part, because they "feel like they re m a compromised pos ition," he noted. ''They don' t want people to think that they are standing up there in the pulpit trying to raise .their own salaries." · · Truth is. people in the pews would probably prefer to hear u clear, unapologetic message about ·stewardship from someone who is not ordained. But Smith stresseq that anyone who talks about faith and money has to bt: able to "communicate a spir~ itual vi sion that is larger than trying to pay the light bill at the end of the month .': · When it comes to titheS and offerings, parents are even more impof\ant than pastors. "People who give generously," said Smith, ·~almost always say, 'This is just the way my parents raised me; This is part of who I am anq what I believe. My parent~ taught me to be thankful and to help others."' . St in gy '? Smi th b elieves that the vast majority of American aftl ue nt Christians will see they are guilty as charged, if they candidly contras t the · amoun t of money they give away with the doctrines that are proclaimed in the pulpits of all traditional churches. The resuIt is a laugh-tokeep-from-crying paradox. In fact. Smith considered using another title for his chapel address: ''Why does $30 seem like so much to give in chu rc h and so little to spend in the resta11rant . after chu rc h''" The stakes are high in this spiritual strugg le. Recent research indicates the combined incomes of active U.S. Christians - people who frequently go to church reached about $2 trillion in 2005 . The Bible's minimum standard for giving is t)le "'tithe," Smith noted, and it asks believers to -give away at least I 0 percent of their income. Do the math : I 0 percent of $2 trillion is a lot of money. study ''When . you American religion,"' said Smith, "it quickly becomes clear how important having material resources is if you . want to get anything accomplished. ...

Sm ith has reached some sobering conclusions about beli evers and their checkbooks. It's true that Americans give away lots of money, in comparison with people in uther modern societies. It's also tru e that reli gious Americans are much more generous than nonreligious Americans. But here's the bottom line: The top 10 percent of America's givers are very generous, while 80 percent or more rarely, if ever, make charitable donations of any kind. "This is the glass half-full perspective ," said Smith. ··we·re not doing too bad. We're doing pretty good.

Smith considered using another title for his chapel address: ''Why does $30 seem like so much to give in chu rc h and so little to spend in the resta11rant . after chu rc h''" The stakes are high in this spiritual strugg le. Recent research indicates the combined incomes of active U.S. Christians - people who frequently go to church reached about $2 trillion in 2005 .

The Labor Department reported Wednesday that new applications filed for unemployment insurance dropped by a seasonally adjusted 11 ,000 to 330,000 for the week ending Nov. 17. It was the lowest level since the beginning of November. The 330,000 level of claims was in line with economists' forecasts. A year ago, new claims for unemployment insurance stood at 322,000. The four-week moving average of claims, which smooths out week-to-week volatility, dipped last week to 329,750, a decrease of 750 from the previous week. It marked the lowest level since late October. A year ago, the four-week average of claims was 319,500. "We continue to believe that most statistical and anecdotal evidence continue to point to a relatively )lealthy labor market," said Omair Sharif, an economist at RBS Greenwich Capital.

But On Wall Street, the layoffs failed to ease investors' anxieties about ·fallout from the housing collapse. The Dow Jones industrial avera~e plunged 211.10 points to close at . 12,799.04. The state of the nation's employment climate is a crucial factor in determining whether the economy will, in fact, weather the stresses from the housing slump and credit crunch. So far, decent job creation and wage growth have · helped to offset some of the . negative forces hitting some people, problems ranging from weaker home values to hard-to-get credit. · The national civilian unemployment rate ~ now at 4.7 percent. of the labor force ~ is considered low by historical standards. The jobless ,rate is expected tu slowly climb in the coming months as the economy loses steam. Even though the labor market has so far been holding up fairly well to stresses in the economy, job losses have been painfully felt in construction, manufacturing, mo11gage banking and other businesses more closely linked to the troubled housing and credit sectors. The economy, which . grew at-a brisk 3.9 percent pace in the third quarter, is expected to log growth at only half that rate or less in the final three months of thi s year, analysts say. The Federal Reserve, in the first of new quarterly reports to the nation, said that it· beli ~ves the unem- . ployment rate will rise to between 4.8 percent and 4.9 percent next year.

"He said ' I can't iell you how .impressed I ain by the courage and compassion of our troops.' He thanked them for their service." At the U.S. base called Camp Speicher, in Tikrit, Iraq, the military put on a traditional American Thanksgiving dinner in a mess hall decked out with red, orange and brown paper streamers and other decorations. Cpl. Brandon Henry, 23, from Winchester, Va., said he has been in the Army for four years and hasn't spent Thanks~iving in the United States smce he joined. "So it'll be five Thanksgivings, five Christmases and four birthdays spent away from home, by the time I get done here," he said. "This is my family here ~ the Army in general ~ so I don' t feel like I'm away from home." The crew of the International Space Station put together a special Thanksg iving message that was aired on NASA Televi sion and the agency's Web site http://www.nasa.gov/n tv I. . "We wanted to say happy Thank sg iving to all our NASA viewers." said Expedition 16 Commander Peggy Whitson, an Iowa native . "We feel particularly privileged and thankful to be up here on board the International Space Station this Thanksgiving, and we 're looking forward to our activities thi s week. We have a busy week with spacewalks, and we hope that you also are having a great Thanksgiving." This year's Macy's parade, the 81 st, offered a mix of new attractions and longtime favorites , solemn tributes and lighthearted spectacle. Some 10,000 participants, many of them holding down the buoyant balloons, followed the parade route dpwn the west side of Central Park, then . down Broadway through Times Square to the Macy 's store on Herald Square. The lineup included three new balloons, 2,000 cheerleaders, 800 clowns and the Radio City Rockettes. The Daily Sentinel · Demnark to hold referendt1n1 on whether to adopt e11ro BY JAN M.

Denmark opted out of the European Union's common currency as well as effons to forge closer cooperation on defense policy and law enforcement in the early 1990s. Voters rejected the euro again in a 2000 referendum. Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen, a staunch EU supporter, told a news conference that voters should reassess the exemptions in a referendum, saying "a lot has changed" since they were introduced in 1993. "It is the right time to take a deci sion," Fogh Rasmussen said. "We have always said that the Danish exemptions <li'C a hindrance for Denmark."

AP photo Danish Prime Minister Anders fogh Rasmussen is seen during a press conference in Copenhagen Thursday. Denmark will hold a referendum on whether to adopt the euro and drop exemptions to closer cooperation with the European Union on defense and law enforcement, the prime minister said Thursday. skeptic Danes have shifted. "The government has not moved very much on this issue in the past seven years," said Knud Erik Joergensen , a professor in European integration at the University of Aarhus. "However, Danes have since been traveling abroad and have had the euro in .their pockets and realized that it was not so bad after all." He said scrapping the krone for the euro would be "chiefly s~mbolic" because Denmark IS pot able to chart an independent monetary EU spokeswoman Pia Ahrenkilde Hansen said the EU's executive oftice and Commission European President Jose Manuel Barroso "take note" of Fogh Rasmussen' s referendum decision, adding "it is for Denmark to dec ide on whether or not to revoke its own opt-outs." The European Commission has also always encouraged any attempt by Denmark to hold another referendum on the euro. Analysts said the prime minister may have sensed that attitudes among euro- policy from the EU . The Danish central bank' s decisions always mirror. those taken by the European Central Bank. Danes stunned fellow EU nations in 1992 by reJecting the Maastricht treaty on closer European cooperallon . A year later, Danish voters approved a revised treaty with clauses keeping the country outside a single currency and banking system, refraining from joining a European defense structure, or conforming to EU citizenship laws and common law enfurcement. The citizenship issue has since . been dropped by the EU. Fogh Rasmussen said the referendum would be held after Denmark ratifies the new EU reform treaty, which includes changes in decision-making rules designed to mak~ the union function more effectively. The treaty replaces the failed EU constitution , which was rejected two years ago. • Fogh Rasmussen 's Liberal-Conservative coalition won the election Nov. 13 with suppon · from its nationalist ally, the Danish People's Party, and a smaller centrist group. Denmark, a country of 5.4 million people, has held five referendums on EU-related issues since it joined the bloc in 1973. In the most recent, on Sept. 28, 2000, Danes voted 53.1 percent to 46.9 percent the against replacing Danish krone with the euro. Recent opinion poll s have shown a narrow majority of Danes now favor switching to the euro. Fogh R·asmussen also said he would seek a "noticeable reduction of income taxes" and.improved conditions for asylum-seekers in Denmark as he presented the govern" ment's platform for the next four years. The prime minister was expected to reshuffle his Cabinet on Friday.

ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER ' ~ tsCfo:: "f/t(/dkpofll Saturday, December 1st Clashes between al-Qaida and rival Sunnis break out to the north and south of Baghdad BY SINAN SALAHEDDIN ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER BAGHDAD ~ Suspected ai-Qaida fighters killed three Iraqi soldiers early Thursday, then stole their Humvees to ambush rival Sunnis south of Baghdad, police said, a brazen example or the challenges still facing Iraqis despite a ·lull in violence. A series of mortars later struck the U.S .-protected Green Zone, Iraqi police said. The attack coincided with the celebration of Thanksgiving but there were no immediate reports of casualties in the heavily fonified area, which houses the U.S. Embassy, thousands of American troops and contractors, artd Iraqi government headquarters. , About I 0 blasts were heard in central Baghdad just before 5 p.m., and a huge plume of black smoke rose into the sky as the sun was setting. The U.S. government public address system in· the Green Zone also warned people to "duck and cover" and to stay away from windows. The attack by the alQaida fighters south of Baghdad began when they targeted an Iraqi army patrol near the rural area of Hawr Rijab, killing three soldiers and commandeering two Humvees, according to a local police repon. The militants then drove in the Hurnvees to the nearby headquarters of a group of Sunnis who have turned against the terror network and formed a so-called Awakening Council. Fierce clashes broke out and the police said at least 15 people were killed, including members of the Awakening Council and gunmen. Associated Press Television News footage showed Iraqi police and sol- ' diers forming a protective cordon around wailing women and children as they loaded wooden coffins onto the cars for funeral processions of those killed. Northeast of the capital, Iraqi security forces killed 19 al-Qaida fighters in Baqouba, police said, adding that two civilians also died and two others were wound. ed in the crossfire. The U.S. military has claimed a large measure of success in quelling the violence in Baqouba, which was an al-Qaida stronghold some 35 miles northeast of Baghdad. But pockets of resistance remain there and elsewhere, underlining fears about the fragility of security g~ins made in recent months with the influx of tr.oops and the swelling of popular movements against extremists. In another example, a suicide car bomber blasted a police checkpoint outside a courthouse on Wednesday, killing up to six people and wounding as many as 22 in Ramadi, the capital of Anbar province and the site of the 'genesis of the anti-ai-Qaida sentiment among Sunni tribal leaders and even some former insurgents. Iraqi security forces also found 40 decomposed bodies on Wednesday, including Women and children, north of Ramadi near Lake Thanhar in an area controlled until recently by al Qaida in Iraq. The victims had been shot and did not have ID cards with them, although it could not be determined when they were killed, an Iraqi army officer said, also declining to be identified because the information was confidential.

The Labor Department reported Wednesday that new applications filed for unemployment insurance dropped by a seasonally adjusted 11 ,000 to 330,000 for the week ending Nov. 17. It was the lowest level since the beginning of November. The 330,000 level of claims was in line with economists' forecasts. A year ago, new claims for unemployment insurance stood at 322,000. The four-week moving average of claims, which smooths out week-to-week volatility, dipped last week to 329,750, a decrease of 750 from the previous week. It marked the lowest level since late October. A year ago, the four-week average of claims was 319,500. "We continue to believe that most statistical and anecdotal evidence continue to point to a relatively )lealthy labor market," said Omair Sharif, an economist at RBS Greenwich Capital.

But On Wall Street, the layoffs failed to ease investors' anxieties about ·fallout from the housing collapse. The Dow Jones industrial avera~e plunged 211.10 points to close at . 12,799.04. The state of the nation's employment climate is a crucial factor in determining whether the economy will, in fact, weather the stresses from the housing slump and credit crunch. So far, decent job creation and wage growth have · helped to offset some of the . negative forces hitting some people, problems ranging from weaker home values to hard-to-get credit. · The national civilian unemployment rate ~ now at 4.7 percent. of the labor force ~ is considered low by historical standards. The jobless ,rate is expected tu slowly climb in the coming months as the economy loses steam. Even though the labor market has so far been holding up fairly well to stresses in the economy, job losses have been painfully felt in construction, manufacturing, mo11gage banking and other businesses more closely linked to the troubled housing and credit sectors. The economy, which . grew at-a brisk 3.9 percent pace in the third quarter, is expected to log growth at only half that rate or less in the final three months of thi s year, analysts say. The Federal Reserve, in the first of new quarterly reports to the nation, said that it· beli ~ves the unem- . ployment rate will rise to between 4.8 percent and 4.9 percent next year.

"He said ' I can't iell you how .impressed I ain by the courage and compassion of our troops.' He thanked them for their service." At the U.S. base called Camp Speicher, in Tikrit, Iraq, the military put on a traditional American Thanksgiving dinner in a mess hall decked out with red, orange and brown paper streamers and other decorations.

"So it'll be five Thanksgivings, five Christmases and four birthdays spent away from home, by the time I get done here," he said. "This is my family here ~ the Army in general ~ so I don' t feel like I'm away from home."

Denmark opted out of the European Union's common currency as well as effons to forge closer cooperation on defense policy and law enforcement in the early 1990s. Voters rejected the euro again in a 2000 referendum. Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen, a staunch EU supporter, told a news conference that voters should reassess the exemptions in a referendum, saying "a lot has changed" since they were introduced in 1993. "It is the right time to take a deci sion," Fogh Rasmussen said. "We have always said that the Danish exemptions <li'C a hindrance for Denmark."

AP photo Danish Prime Minister Anders fogh Rasmussen is seen during a press conference in Copenhagen Thursday. Denmark will hold a referendum on whether to adopt the euro and drop exemptions to closer cooperation with the European Union on defense and law enforcement, the prime minister said Thursday. skeptic Danes have shifted. "The government has not moved very much on this issue in the past seven years," said Knud Erik Joergensen , a professor in European integration at the University of Aarhus. "However, Danes have since been traveling abroad and have had the euro in .their pockets and realized that it was not so bad after all." He said scrapping the krone for the euro would be "chiefly s~mbolic" because Denmark IS pot able to chart an independent monetary EU spokeswoman Pia Ahrenkilde Hansen said the EU's executive oftice and Commission European President Jose Manuel Barroso "take note" of Fogh Rasmussen' s referendum decision, adding "it is for Denmark to dec ide on whether or not to revoke its own opt-outs." The European Commission has also always encouraged any attempt by Denmark to hold another referendum on the euro. Analysts said the prime minister may have sensed that attitudes among euro- policy from the EU . The Danish central bank' s decisions always mirror. those taken by the European Central Bank. Danes stunned fellow EU nations in 1992 by reJecting the Maastricht treaty on closer European cooperallon . A year later, Danish voters approved a revised treaty with clauses keeping the country outside a single currency and banking system, refraining from joining a European defense structure, or conforming to EU citizenship laws and common law enfurcement. The citizenship issue has since . been dropped by the EU. Fogh Rasmussen said the referendum would be held after Denmark ratifies the new EU reform treaty, which includes changes in decision-making rules designed to mak~ the union function more effectively. The treaty replaces the failed EU constitution , which was rejected two years ago. • Fogh Rasmussen 's Liberal-Conservative coalition won the election Nov. 13 with suppon · from its nationalist ally, the Danish People's Party, and a smaller centrist group. Denmark, a country of 5.4 million people, has held five referendums on EU-related issues since it joined the bloc in 1973. In the most recent, on Sept. 28, 2000, Danes voted 53.1 percent to 46.9 percent the against replacing Danish krone with the euro. Recent opinion poll s have shown a narrow majority of Danes now favor switching to the euro. Fogh R·asmussen also said he would seek a "noticeable reduction of income taxes" and.improved conditions for asylum-seekers in Denmark as he presented the govern" ment's platform for the next four years. The prime minister was expected to reshuffle his Cabinet on Friday.

ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER ' ~ tsCfo:: "f/t(/dkpofll Saturday, December 1st Clashes between al-Qaida and rival Sunnis break out to the north and south of Baghdad BY SINAN SALAHEDDIN ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER BAGHDAD ~ Suspected ai-Qaida fighters killed three Iraqi soldiers early Thursday, then stole their Humvees to ambush rival Sunnis south of Baghdad, police said, a brazen example or the challenges still facing Iraqis despite a ·lull in violence. A series of mortars later struck the U.S .-protected Green Zone, Iraqi police said. The attack coincided with the celebration of Thanksgiving but there were no immediate reports of casualties in the heavily fonified area, which houses the U.S. Embassy, thousands of American troops and contractors, artd Iraqi government headquarters. , About I 0 blasts were heard in central Baghdad just before 5 p.m., and a huge plume of black smoke rose into the sky as the sun was setting. The U.S. government public address system in· the Green Zone also warned people to "duck and cover" and to stay away from windows. The attack by the alQaida fighters south of Baghdad began when they targeted an Iraqi army patrol near the rural area of Hawr Rijab, killing three soldiers and commandeering two Humvees, according to a local police repon. The militants then drove in the Hurnvees to the nearby headquarters of a group of Sunnis who have turned against the terror network and formed a so-called Awakening Council. Fierce clashes broke out and the police said at least 15 people were killed, including members of the Awakening Council and gunmen. Associated Press Television News footage showed Iraqi police and sol- ' diers forming a protective cordon around wailing women and children as they loaded wooden coffins onto the cars for funeral processions of those killed. Northeast of the capital, Iraqi security forces killed 19 al-Qaida fighters in Baqouba, police said, adding that two civilians also died and two others were wound. ed in the crossfire. The U.S. military has claimed a large measure of success in quelling the violence in Baqouba, which was an al-Qaida stronghold some 35 miles northeast of Baghdad. But pockets of resistance remain there and elsewhere, underlining fears about the fragility of security g~ins made in recent months with the influx of tr.oops and the swelling of popular movements against extremists. In another example, a suicide car bomber blasted a police checkpoint outside a courthouse on Wednesday, killing up to six people and wounding as many as 22 in Ramadi, the capital of Anbar province and the site of the 'genesis of the anti-ai-Qaida sentiment among Sunni tribal leaders and even some former insurgents. Iraqi security forces also found 40 decomposed bodies on Wednesday, including Women and children, north of Ramadi near Lake Thanhar in an area controlled until recently by al Qaida in Iraq. The victims had been shot and did not have ID cards with them, although it could not be determined when they were killed, an Iraqi army officer said, also declining to be identified because the information was confidential.

The Los Angeles Angels, who have been trying to land another strong hitter for several years, agreed to a fiveyear, $90 million deal Wednesday with free 'agent Torii Hunter, who hit .297 with 28 homers and drove in 107 runs for Minnesota this year. The deal is subject to Hunter's passing a physical. A seven-time Gold Glove winner, the 32-year-o ld Hunter will be the evel)'day center fielder ·and hit in the middle of the lineup, making it tougher for opposing pitchers to pitch around Guerrero. Although Hunter's arrival seems to make last season·s center fielder, Gary Matthews Jr. odd man out in an outfield with Guerrero in right and Anderson in left, Los Angeles manager M ii(e Scioscia said it would give him more options. He plans to rotate players at DH and use Matthews to spell Guerrero and Anderson. ''Torii is going to be in center field virtually every day. Gary will be in the outtield almost every day, so the other two guys will split up the DH," Scioscia said in a con· ference call. "We want all four of those bats in the lineup." Matthews was in New York this month to meet with baseball ofticials and discuss allegations that he received human grown hormone. He was sent HGH in 2004 from a pharmacy being investigated for illegal distribution of performance-enhancing drugs, The Times Union of Albany, N.Y., reported last winter.

"They came in trying to get somethmg done in a hurry and it worked out," Reynolds said. Said Reagins: "In the past, we said we're going to pursue every opportunity to make our club better.

"Team s have made the commitment not to let Chad beat them," offensive coordinator Bob Bratkowski said . "There 's been some times when we've had the opportunity, and we haven' t hooked up on it. It's kind of a freak thing of how the plays come out." Instead, slot receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh has been getting the catches. He leads the NFL with 76 catches and has 11 for touchdown s, ranking third in the NFL behind Randy Moss and Terrell Owens. "T.J.'s been left in one-onone situations and done a good job beating those oneon-one situations, when Chad's been double- and triple-teamed," quarterback Carson Palmer said. The lack of touchdowns aside, Johnson is still having an impressive season. He's third in the AFC in yards with 938. He needs six catches on Sunday against Tennessee (6-4) to break Carl Pickens ' franchise record of 530 receptions. . There have been some uncharacteristic moments as well. He dropped what likely would have been a touchdown pass during a 33-21 loss in Butl'alo. He fumbled without being hit wh.ile running after a catch in a 35-27 loss to Arizona last Sunday. And, he's not talking about any of it. "He's gone through some things," Palmer said. " I don't think he's ever had anybody bad-mouth him in the media before, probably, in his career. It's tou~h to go through. It's somethmg that everybody's first time going through that, it takes an adjustment." The criticism started coming when the Bengals lost four of their first five games.

For the fourth year in a row, a Ford won the Ford 400 at Home'stead-Miami Speedway, meaning that Ford was happy. If only there had been something interesting, or exciting, or surprising, then maybe others would've been happy. The lack of drama didn't detract from Kenseth 's mastery, and in retrospect, it was pretty predictable. Four straight Johnson victories had drawn attention away from four straight top-five finishes by Kenseth, the 2003 Winston Cup champion.

Jeff Burton A frustrating season ended typi- cally for Earnhardt, who finished 36th Johnson could've beeo beaten by only two parties: Fate and himself By Monte Dutton NASCAR This Week HOMESTEAD, Fla.- En route to a second consecutive Nextel Cup championship, Jimmie Johnson closed the deal in style. Even though his teammate, Jeff Gordon, also closed the season like a champion, it was Johnson who won it. Gordon, who has 81 career victories and four championships, knows a little about collecting championships, though he hasn't won one since 2001. In the 10 Chase races, Gordon's average finish was 5.1 Johnson's was 5.0. He won by 77 points because the format was adjusted this year to put greater emphasis on winning. Six regular-season victories put Johnson 20 points ahead when the Chase began. Four more in the final10 Gordon won twice in the Chase - allowed him to build an edge. When the final race arrived, Johnson could've been beat· en by only two parties: Fate and himself. Johnson said he was worried, but not about the latter. "I worry about those things,'' said the champion, reigning now for another year. "I feel that what we can control, we've done a good job with and we'll be fine in that respect. But the things we can't control are what worry me: inci- · dents on track, mechanical failures, tire issues, or whatever it may be. · · "That's the part that concerns me. The stuff we work on (like) our pit stops and what I do on the track and Chad's (Knaus, his crew chief) pit-calling ability, all of that I feel very comfortable with. The things that are out of my control worry me." · The events of recent weeks mildly embarrassed Johnson, though there were worse problems to have. A week before the end, Gordon conceded the championship, even though this wasn't boxing and he couldn't actually do that. Gordon, once Johnson's mentor, said he would hate to win the championship the only way he could possibly do it. In jest, he waved a white flag of surrender in Johnson's direction after the next-to-last race. "There's nothing comfortable with that,'' said Johnson. "Jeff walking in last week with the flag and all that ... I'm,. like, this is really weird. It's just not something I thrive on or that I expect or that, really, I've ever had in my career, ""I've had ·a long, hard road to get to this spot in my caCIA Stock Photo reer, and had a lot of people doubt me through different parts of my career, and had to fight through that criticism.

By Monte Dutton NASCAR This Week HOMESTEAD, Fla. -Even after the Chase for the Nextel Cup began, Jeff Gordon and, to a lesser extent, Jimmie Johnson fretted about Tony Stewart. No Stewart threat materialized. No one was happier than Stewart that the long season wa'S coming to an end. He wound up sixth in the standings, 481 points off Johnson's pace. "It's been a long year for everybody,'' said Stewart. "We obviously aren't in the position we want to be in this time of year. The only way to get to the next chapter is to start the !)ext chapter. You do that by ending this year and starting next year." Duh. "It's.just been weird to me," he added. "The bad. luck we've had: that's the thing.

' "It's time to move on, l!asi-. cally,'' he said. "Last week people were saying I was emotional in victory lane. I don't remember shedding a tear. It's just a part of racing.

In turn, the only crew chief Matt Kenseth has ever had, Robbie Reiser, is taking over Jones' overall management at Roush Fen way. Engineer Chip Bolin, who covered for Reiser during an early-season suspension, will take over as Kenseth's crew chief. '.

The Los Angeles Angels, who have been trying to land another strong hitter for several years, agreed to a fiveyear, $90 million deal Wednesday with free 'agent Torii Hunter, who hit .297 with 28 homers and drove in 107 runs for Minnesota this year. The deal is subject to Hunter's passing a physical.

Although Hunter's arrival seems to make last season·s center fielder, Gary Matthews Jr. odd man out in an outfield with Guerrero in right and Anderson in left, Los Angeles manager M ii(e Scioscia said it would give him more options. He plans to rotate players at DH and use Matthews to spell Guerrero and Anderson. ''Torii is going to be in center field virtually every day. Gary will be in the outtield almost every day, so the other two guys will split up the DH," Scioscia said in a con· ference call. "We want all four of those bats in the lineup." Matthews was in New York this month to meet with baseball ofticials and discuss allegations that he received human grown hormone.

"T.J.'s been left in one-onone situations and done a good job beating those oneon-one situations, when Chad's been double- and triple-teamed," quarterback Carson Palmer said. The lack of touchdowns aside, Johnson is still having an impressive season. He's third in the AFC in yards with 938. He needs six catches on Sunday against Tennessee (6-4) to break Carl Pickens ' franchise record of 530 receptions. . There have been some uncharacteristic moments as well. He dropped what likely would have been a touchdown pass during a 33-21 loss in Butl'alo. He fumbled without being hit wh.ile running after a catch in a 35-27 loss to Arizona last Sunday. And, he's not talking about any of it. "He's gone through some things," Palmer said. " I don't think he's ever had anybody bad-mouth him in the media before, probably, in his career. It's tou~h to go through. It's somethmg that everybody's first time going through that, it takes an adjustment." The criticism started coming when the Bengals lost four of their first five games.

Jeff Burton A frustrating season ended typi- cally for Earnhardt, who finished 36th Johnson could've beeo beaten by only two parties: Fate and himself By Monte Dutton NASCAR This Week HOMESTEAD, Fla.- En route to a second consecutive Nextel Cup championship, Jimmie Johnson closed the deal in style. Even though his teammate, Jeff Gordon, also closed the season like a champion, it was Johnson who won it. Gordon, who has 81 career victories and four championships, knows a little about collecting championships, though he hasn't won one since 2001. In the 10 Chase races, Gordon's average finish was 5.1 Johnson's was 5.0. He won by 77 points because the format was adjusted this year to put greater emphasis on winning. Six regular-season victories put Johnson 20 points ahead when the Chase began. Four more in the final10 Gordon won twice in the Chase - allowed him to build an edge. When the final race arrived, Johnson could've been beat· en by only two parties: Fate and himself. Johnson said he was worried, but not about the latter. "I worry about those things,'' said the champion, reigning now for another year. "I feel that what we can control, we've done a good job with and we'll be fine in that respect. But the things we can't control are what worry me: inci- · dents on track, mechanical failures, tire issues, or whatever it may be. · · "That's the part that concerns me. The stuff we work on (like) our pit stops and what I do on the track and Chad's (Knaus, his crew chief) pit-calling ability, all of that I feel very comfortable with. The things that are out of my control worry me." · The events of recent weeks mildly embarrassed Johnson, though there were worse problems to have. A week before the end, Gordon conceded the championship, even though this wasn't boxing and he couldn't actually do that. Gordon, once Johnson's mentor, said he would hate to win the championship the only way he could possibly do it. In jest, he waved a white flag of surrender in Johnson's direction after the next-to-last race. "There's nothing comfortable with that,'' said Johnson. "Jeff walking in last week with the flag and all that ... I'm,. like, this is really weird. It's just not something I thrive on or that I expect or that, really, I've ever had in my career, ""I've had ·a long, hard road to get to this spot in my caCIA Stock Photo reer, and had a lot of people doubt me through different parts of my career, and had to fight through that criticism.

By Monte Dutton NASCAR This Week HOMESTEAD, Fla. -Even after the Chase for the Nextel Cup began, Jeff Gordon and, to a lesser extent, Jimmie Johnson fretted about Tony Stewart. No Stewart threat materialized. No one was happier than Stewart that the long season wa'S coming to an end. He wound up sixth in the standings, 481 points off Johnson's pace. "It's been a long year for everybody,'' said Stewart. "We obviously aren't in the position we want to be in this time of year. The only way to get to the next chapter is to start the !)ext chapter. You do that by ending this year and starting next year." Duh. "It's.just been weird to me," he added. "The bad. luck we've had: that's the thing.

In fact, Busch, who will join Joe Gibbs Racing next year, said reports of his being choked up at Phoenix in victory lane after the Busch Series race were somewhat exaggerated. ' "It's time to move on, l!asi-. cally,'' he said. "Last week people were saying I was emotional in victory lane. I don't remember shedding a tear. It's just a part of racing.

Roush general manager Max Jones is moving to Y,ates Racing, where he will join Doug Yates as co-owner and take over general-inanager duties: The move is also seen as an attempt to strengthen Ford's overall performance at the end of a season in which 26 races were won by C.~olet drivers. In turn, the only crew chief Matt Kenseth has ever had, Robbie Reiser, is taking over Jones' overall management at Roush Fen way. Engineer Chip Bolin, who covered for Reiser during an early-season suspension, will take over as Kenseth's crew chief. '.

"We're grateful. for It and we made history, but it doesn't end there." Owens said. "We know there's more foo tball left this season." Dallas kept the stakes up for the next big matchup next Thursday night with a 34-3 victory over the New York Jets on Thursday that was as lopstded as it seems. Romo led the Cowboys to a touchdown on the gameopening drive. then threw for another touchdown soon after. Once Terence Newman returned an interception 50 yards for another score midway through the second quaner. the only question left was whether Romo would throw another TD to tie the club smgle-season record. With 6: 12 left in the game, Romo did, hitting T.O. on a 22-yarder, adding another milestone to the Thanksgiving Day victory in which Dallas locked up its best record through II games m its 48-year, livechampionship history.

Terrell Owens and the 2007 club arc the tirst to stan 10-1. And if 10-1 Green Bay wasn 't up. next. the Cowboys might be able to savor such an accomplishment. "We're grateful. for It and we made history, but it doesn't end there." Owens said. "We know there's more foo tball left this season." Dallas kept the stakes up for the next big matchup next Thursday night with a 34-3 victory over the New York Jets on Thursday that was as lopstded as it seems. Romo led the Cowboys to a touchdown on the gameopening drive. then threw for another touchdown soon after. Once Terence Newman returned an interception 50 yards for another score midway through the second quaner. the only question left was whether Romo would throw another TD to tie the club smgle-season record. With 6: 12 left in the game, Romo did, hitting T.O. on a 22-yarder, adding another milestone to the Thanksgiving Day victory in which Dallas locked up its best record through II games m its 48-year, livechampionship history. " It's hard to believe that we've never done thi s before." Cowboys owner Jerry Jones satd . "It JUSt feels great. feels good to be a part f .. 0. Anyone watching this game probably spent much of the second half chattmg about the upcommg battle for NFC supremacy. If the Indianapolis-New England game earlier this month was hyped as Super Bowl 4111.2, the CowboysPackers clash might as well get billed as Super Bowl 41 Y4. It has all tpe elements. Famous franchises and marquee quanerbacks, with the chance to force or avoid a late-Jaouary tnp to Lambeau Field possibly on the line. There's also the JUicy subplot of Romo havmg grown up m Wtsconsin, back when Favre was winning MVPs and leading the Packers to Super Bowls: ''I still root them on, although slowly I'm stanmg to root against them," Romo satd, adding that he caught a little of Favre's season-high 38 1 yards and three touchdowns m a 37-26 victory over DetrOit on televi siOn before thts game k1cked oft "He was good-- a little b1t too good ," Romo said. laughmg. "Hopefull y he had his best game of the yea1 today " Thts game cenamly lacked the drama next week's game holds . New York (2-9) was coming off a victory over AFC power Pittsburgh, but quickly reverted to the form of a team that had lost Its previous SIXgames. Kellen Clemens was sacked on each of his first two senes and the Jets didn't cross nudfield until their fmal drive of the second quaner. Thmgs were so bad that at the 2-minute warning. Jets coach E11c Mangini challenged the spot of a third-down play, hopmg to trim a yard or two off fourthand-3 He didn't get an inch. And all that came in New York's good half. After intermission, the Jets dtdn 't get a first down until there was 5:19 left in the game, pan of a drive that ended at the 1yard line. "There were things that we had to do in all three phases to have a chance. and we didn't even come close to doing those," Mangini satd The 31-point margin was a season htgh for both teams Dallas also dtd not allow a touchdown for the tirst time thi s season "I thought 11 was a solid. solu.l game," said Cowboys coach Wade Phillips, whose club has won five strai,&ht smce theiT only loss. to the Pall tots . "We played well throughout. That's the way " c need to play at home." Clemens was 12-for-27 for 142 vards. One of the incompletions for the right-handed quarterback ~as throw nJcfthanded while trying to avoid a sack. "We cott ldn't handle the btg stage," safety Kerry Rhodes said of the holiday ouung on natiOnal television. "We didn't play good enough to win it 's mdicative of our season." Romo was nowhere near as cnsp as last Thanksgiving, when he threw five touchdowns. But ~ e was good enough A secondary determined not to get beat deep and a pinky mjury on his throwing hand left him throwing many of his passes underneath. He also underthrew potential touchdowns to Owens and Jason Witten. but made up for it by hitting them both on other scores. \lrrihune - Sentinel - l\e CLASSIFIED Gallia In One Week With Us - - - - - - =P==L soon.''
