"Sure," ·said Michell e Moore. general manager of Sol ex x Greenhouses and Panels in Salem, Ore. "It's a little nontraditional, but some of my customers use them as brooder houses and aviaries."

Start with steel cut. oats for maximum t1avor and texture (the rolled kind will tum to mush). Cook them overnight on low in a slow cooker, or for even better texture, pour boiling water over the oats and let thein soak overnight. A quick stir over heat in the morning will make ihem ready to eat. Either way, have lots of luxurious garnishes on hand: warm, vanilla-laced heavy cream, pure maple ·syrup, gourmet honey, lots of fruits and nuts , and (for a unique holiday kick) really good egg nog. McLean pairs her oatmeal with a dried fruit compote full .of cranberries, cherries and apricots, spiked with a little cinnamon, star anise and Armagnac to milke it 'just a tiny bit adult." The compote can be made a week in advance . If you really want to go over the top, Degnan says get the torch out again: top a casserole dish of cooked oatmeal with bananas and superfine sugar and torch the top for that brulee effect. _, HOLZER CLINIC Pt.

Lt. Gen. · Ray Odierno, the man responsible for the ground campaign in Iraq, said that the first six months of 2007 were probably the most violent period since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003. The past six months, however, had seen some of the lowest level s of violence since the conflict began, Odierno said, attributing the change to an · increase in both American troops and better-trained Iraqi forces. , "I feel we are back in '03 and early '04. Frankly I was here then. and the environment is about the same in terms of secmity in my opinion ," he said. "What is different from then is that the Iraqi secu rity forces are significantly more mature."

Turkey bombs Kurdish rebel · This is the one gift targets in Iraq~ military chief that won't be returned. says US intelligence used BY SUZAN FRASER ·ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER ANKARA. Turkey Turkey said dozens of its warplanes bombed Kurdish rebel targets as deep as 60 miles inside nonhem Iraq for three hours Sunday, the largest aerial attack in years against the outlawed separatist group. 'TUrkey's military chief said the U.S. gave intelligence and tacit approval for the raid. ' An Iraqi ufticml said the planes attacked several villages, killing one woman. The rebels said two civilians and five rebels were killed. In the nighttime offensive, the lighter jets hit rebel positions close to the border with Turkey and in the Qandil mountains; which straddle the lra~-Iran border, the Turkish mihtary said in a statement posted on its Web site. It said the operation was directed against . the rebels and not against the local population. As many as 50 lighter jets were involved in , the airstrikes. private NTV television and other media reponed. Turkey has recently attacked the area with ·ground-bused anillery and helicopters and there have heen some unconfirmed reports of airstrikes by warplanes. The attack came a month after the ' United · States promised to share intelligence with lurkey about the Kurdistan Workers' Pany (PKK) and Turkey's military chief, Gen.

Congratulations to : American Electric Power for stepping up to meet the challenges of creating a healthy and biodiverse nat· ural world ." The Gavin Plant is situat ed on 4,500 acres adjacent to the Ohio River. The employee wildlife team implements many successful program s to increase the availability of suitable habitat for wildlife on 3,000 acres of the property. In ·t994, the team began a bluebird nest box project, with assistance from the Boy Scouts of America, Cub Scouts , Ohio · Division of Wildlife and JVAAC. a local organization dedicated to the education of mentally challenged individuals . Today, nearly 70 nest boxes exist around the facility. These boxes provide habitat for bluebirds. tree swallows, other native birds . . Wood duck boxes' were first installed at the Gavin Miti gative Wetland in 1994, in an effort to provide additiona] habitat components that went beyond mmimum mitigation requirem ents . · Since then , additional boxes were placed in other Jocations around the plant's property; with 25 wood duck boxes placed throughout 60 acres of the site to date. Partners in this project included the Boy Scouts of America, the Ohio Division of Wildlife and Buckeye Hill s Career Center. Additional roosting and nesting structures exist for bats and osprey, for which a nesting platform was built and erected adjacent to the Ohio River as pan of an Eagle Scout project. Four bat roosts were installed in the site's mitigative wetland and are monitored lor use. The roosts were built through a partnership with the Buckeye Hills Career Center, and were installed by the Ohio Division of Wildlife and wildlife team n1embers. Species inventories in 2004 and 2005 documented the presence of nesting herring gulls at the bottom ash pond, a significant extension of "the bird' s nesting range in Ohio. Pipiilg plovers, a federally li sted threatened speci es, also inhabit the site. Gavin employees ·created a half-mile nature trail. through a partnership with the students from Hocking College. The trail includes educational signage and an improved parking Jot to ensure sate access to the trail. Additionally, the Gavin Outdoor Club was formed for plum employees who wish to use the property for nature and recreatlon al purposes. The 80-member club is active in maintaining wildlife habitat, with an emphasis on controll ing the deer population and improving herd health . The club planted two. threeacre wildlife food plots, to provide additional food sources for species such · as deer, wild turkeys and songbirds. The wildlife team is also active in oft' site activities, including Earth Day activities at the local school. In 2006, the team visited the Addaville Elementary School to give a presentation . on the value of wetlands as hahitat lo r a variety of wi ldlife spetics . The team also provided the school with bird seed for their feeder, and pl a'nted a wildtlower plot on the school site. Earth Day 2007 was celebrated at the school with a11 env ironmental awareness contest, with winners receiving Earth Day t-shins. Bird seed was also donated to a local 4-H Club. Management at the G.avin Plant prov.ided financial assistance to the Meigs County Soil & , Water Conservation District, in the amount of $2,350, for the development of access and trails for public use and education at a local wetland. The Gavin Plant was one · of 173 sites recognized at the 2007 Symposium for creating a Wildlife at Work program. In addition, 69 Corporate Lands for Learning program s reach thousands of learners from schools and scout groups to master . gardeners and university researchers. Since 1990. WHC has certified 432 programs worfdwide . The certification program recognize s outstanding wildlife habitat management and environmental education efforts at corporate sites, and offers thtrdparty validation of the benefits uf such programs. Certification requirements are strict and require that site s apply for periodic renewal. Celebrating 20 years in conservation, the Wildlffe Habitat Council (WHC) is a nonprofit, non -lobbying organization dedicated to increasing the quality and amount of wildlife habitat on corporate, private and public lands. WHC devotes its resources to building partnerships with corporations and conservation groups to create solutions that balance the demands of economic growth with the requirements of a healthy;' biudiverse and sustainable environment. More than 2.4 milljon acres in 46 states, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and 16 other countries are managed for wildlife through WHC assi sted projects.

Ohio (AP): Of the 315 inmates trying to take advantage of a law allowing them to ask tor DNA testing after they've been convicted and sent to _ prison, just 19 of the applications have been approved. a . newspaper reponed Sunday. The. law. which took effect , in 2003, is so restrictive and prosecutors ti ght the requests so · fiercely, few requests are ever approved, the Dayton Daily News reponed. · Inmates were turned down because the evidence, in some cases, no longer exists. Ohio and 27 other states have no · law requtnng th at evi- · dence be kept for any given time, even though DNA technology is getting increasingly sophisticated. A review by the Daily New s of 24 applications from Montgomery County shows that most fell short because of the facts uf the cases. But in a few, a scientitic test that can. cost as little as $500 could have acted as a backstop to the criminal justice system, the newspaper said. Edmund Earl Emerick Jll, convicted in the 1994 clawhammer murders of two men in Dayton, was one of only three Miami Valley inmates . to be granted DNA testing by the courts but only after he appealed. The testing hasn't yet been done, but Emerick hopes it will clear him. County Montgomery Prosecutor Mathias Heck. who opposed all 24 applications, said the state law doesn't block DNA testing for prisoners who deserve it. "There has to be some linality for the detendant, but also for the victim or the survivors and .the justice system," Heck said. "Otherwise, I think it really diminishes the value or 'the reason to have a trial." ,, • . BY KATHY MITCHELL ANO MARCY SUGAR Dear Annie; I'm 25, and my boyfriend, "Jason.'' and I got pregnant despite using birth control , Jason was very happy about it , but when I was three months along, his family convinced him he is nut ready to have a baby and he.asked me to have an abortid'n. I said I wouldn't and told him he was free tu walk away if he chose . We ne ve r fought, and he said he sti II loves me but doesn't want a chi ld . Jason left, and I haven't heard from him in over a month. My family and friends are as surprised as I am and say I should ask him for child support But, Annie. I already told him I wouldn't. After all, if it were up to him, there would be no babv. On the other hand, he made a lot of promises and then juSt walked out. What do you think?- Mama To Be Dear Mama: The two of you created this baby together, and even if Jason doesn 't want it, he is sti II a father and needs to be responsible for his child. If he prefers not to have a relationship, he should still contribute financially. We hope Jason will step up and do the right thing so you don't have to drag him to court for child support, but don't be afraid to demand wh!lt is .in your child's best interest. Dear Annie: I have a question on today 's proper etiquette. I was recently invited to a birthday party. On the invi-tation, guests were requested to bring a dish and also contribute tinancially tu a money pot for the birthday ga l. It seemed a bit presumptuous, but I auended anyway. Now we have been invi ted to a wedding, and the invitation (engraved, no less) mention s that a reception will follow, but also req uests that we bring a dish. Somehow. this does not feel proper. If the couple doesn't have the money to throw a hig celebration , shouldn 't they host what they can afford? - Need Input Dear Need· Input : Yes, It is inappropriate for bridal couples to issue invitations and expect the guests to bring their own meals or pay for the privilege of attend-. ing . It is not the friends and fami ly who are throwing the party. Those who are paying get to determine the menu and venue, along with all the other details. If the couple can afford a fancy, elegant bash. wonderful. If not. coffee and dessert in the living room is also lovely. Guests should not be asked to supply anything hut their company, although gifts (of their own choosi ng) are appropriate. One of these days , the "paying · guests" might decide to move the reception to a howling alley. Dear Annie: Once again , you have printed a letter from a man complain'ing about his wife's lack of sexual intere st and sug gested ~oun se ling. Before rushing off into therapy, women should look, into the most common physical reasons behind low libido . The lirst question one should ask is whether her. hi story includes any uf the following : hysterectom y. ovariectomy, C-section, tubal ligation , ovarian cyst. fibroid _,, endometrios is, ectopic pregnancy or an y other surgical procedure or condi,tion that involves the ovanes. Sexual desi re is chemistry. and the chemicals necessary to complete the circuit of desire come from the. go nads. In men, the gonads are testicles. In w.omen they are ovaries. Any woman who is experiencing low sexual desire should see an endocrinologist for a thorough check of her endocrine ' ystem. Proper hormonal balance could make a world of difference in her sex life. Health Women's Advocate Dear Advocate : Thank you for the excellent recommendation. We have often said that a lack of Iibido can have physical causes, but the first step is getting the person to accept how important a fulfi lling sex life is for the marriage - and along with a trip to the doctor, it sometimes requires cou nseling.

Medicaid system revealing sealed adoption information . ' COLUMBUS (AP) - A glitch in Ohio' s troubled child-welfare. system is revealing information from sealed adoption records, a data breach some c hild advocates say is a mass ive violation of confidentiality. The data breach . involves children who were adopted out of the foster-care system and now are enrolled in a c h1"Jd re.n•s health insuntnce program ·Ill 3'i• Oh.10 counties, said Dennis Evans, spa kesman for the Ohio Depar tmen t o f. Job an· d Family Services. Those counties iss ue . "d card s throug h the Medrem new Statewide Automated Child Welfare Information System, which draws infor.mation from health records before adoptions, Evans said. In some cases, when medical personnel use the number on the Medicaid cards to look up health records , the system emits sealed dat.a such as a birth mother 's name. That information is supposed to be secret. Evans said. The state has not yet determined how many chi!dren are directly affected, altho'u"g h several counties have registered complaint s. The agency is working to pinpoint the problem. Evans said . Child adv-ocates and adqptive parents say the disclosure of sealed information raises concerns about the ,integrity of private medic~ll records. Julie Rich said her adopted daughter was accidentally given an ID bracelet with her supposedly secret birth mother's name during a recent hospital visit. The incident was shocking and terrible, Rich said. "My daughter ·had to explain, 'That's not my name. I'm adopted,'" said Rich, of Columbus. "There is no excuse. She should never have to tell that. She should tell that to people she chooses, and it should never come up unless she h .. c ooses. The accidental di sclosure of adoption information could potentially cause a personal or family crisis. es pecially as not all children know that they _are adopted, said Eric Fenner, executive director of Franklin County Children Services. "Th "IS ·IS d"IS3S troUS, " Fenner said. "I can't think of a worse way for a child to find out they're adopted. How would you deal with that''" Besides the . emotional toll, Rich said her daughter 's doctor had trouble finding her medical records because they were suddenly under her . birth mother's name. Complaint s from county officials about other glitches in the $92 million state child-welfare computer systcm - including ' issuing late ur erroneous adoptionassistance· checks prompted the . state last month to postpone furth er implementation until persi stent problems were worked out. Howeve1·, 65 counties had already linked Ill the new system by then and nf them. 35 are using rlw 'Y'tern to issue Medicaid cartb. Under Ohio law, adoption records are always sealed to third parties. Re cords of adoptions before 1964 are open to the · adopted person with proper ·identification. Those cornpleted between 1904 and Sept. I R, .1996, are sealed and ca n he opened only with a court order amllhmc completed after Sept.

In the words of the Financial Times, the concert was a "heritage rock event." This is anotl)er way to describe an on stage reunion of rockers who Q,ualify for AARP membership. But fear not. 59-year-old Robert Plant has "an impressively taut backside," the FT assures us, even if 61-yearold John Paul Jones wears his hair short and looks, · according to The Spectator magazine, like a "bank man- . ager," and 63-year-old Jimmy Page delayed the concert's - sorry. the heritage rock .event s - play date for some weeks by breaking his finger, accord-. ing to Timesonline.com, "falling over in his garden." · But back to the, er, bottom line in the Financial Times: "There aren't many heritage rock events where the shape of one's bottom matters. But Led Zeppelin is different. If sex is one of rock and roll's prime motivating factors, then no band has managed to sound a~t horny as them (sick - I mean, sic).

Evidence that those who have had their mortgages modified as they moved toward foreclosure still go on to default is adding to such worries.

Meigs powered to a 29-17 lead at the half, sending the spiral.ing Tornadoe s to the locker room to procure a remedy. Caldwell prescribed just the right medicine. Southern extended its defense to cover hot outside shooting of the Marauders. The Tornadoes sh ifted to a 1-3-1 half-court trap most of the second half. In addition to taking· away the outside game. the defense also slowed Meigsf transition game. "The defense started creating turnovers," said Caldwell . "Then we hit some key shots." The double-edged sword surprised Meigs in a big way and allowed Southern to take a one-point lead at 3130 in the third quarter. Coach Ewing called a time out to regroup at the midway point of the th ird round . The break calmed the Marauders down and. Meigs outscored Southern 10-2 to take a seven-point lead going into the final round. In the third yuarter alone, Southern hit three huge three-pointers (K leski, Harris, Chapman. Roberts) . Harris and Roberts each had fiv e points in the chase, whil e Meigs rebounded with four from Eric Tolar, three from Chris Goode. and two each from Smith and Gabe Hill. A team can sustain making one run at a team and making it stick, but often two come-from-behind runs are hard to come by. Yet Southern prevailed. Meigs held the slightest of edges at the halfway point of the final round . Southern kept chipping away.

Marcu s Frazie r made a three-pointer as time expired to give th~ Oak Hill Oaks basketball team their first loss of the season at the Newt Oliver Coaches Classic in Rio Grande on Saturday night. Frazier had 15 points and was named the River Valley Player of the Game for hi s performance. Ryan Henry had a doubledouble with a game-high 20 points and 13 rebounds fur the Raiders, ·who are back above .500 at 3-2 . River Valley senior Ryan Eggleton scored I 5 points. wl!h mne ot those pm.hts coming from beyond the arc . Sophomore Cody McAvena and senior· Zak Deel each finished with two. With 2. 8 seconds remaining and the score tied at 61, Henry 's in-boundsfass from the opposite end o the tloor connected with Frazier just past half-court amidst two Oak Hill defenders. Frazier · took one dribble , squared himself to the basket, and fired a long three that sent the River Valley side of Newt Oliver Arena into ari uproar. The previous night in South Point, Frazier had the same opportunity !O win the game on the final play but was unable to connect. With under a minute to jlO. Oak Hill (6-1) was holdmg the ball for the final shot.
