OaiQpolla, OR ' 740-448·9800 M' POLITICAL WRITER OXYGEN WASHINGTON - Add soaring gasoline prices to tbe list of Republican woes. · The high cost of filling up has become a political issue, and Democratic and GOP lawmakers were blaming each other Monday for a problem that is largely out of Congress' control. . Republicans said they were womed that voters paying more than $3 per gallon would punish the party in power. Democrats hatched plans to make that happen. President Bush, trymg to calm Americans ~ outrage over the sky-high prices, has asked the Energy and Justice departments to investigate . whether the price . has been illegally mampulated, White House spokesman Scott McClellan said Monday: Bush plans to announce the action Tuesday during a speech in Washmj!tOtl. The fingerpointmg came as lawmakers returned to Washington after two weeks in their home states, where they heard complaints from voters suffering from pump shock. "After immigration, it was the most mentioned issue," said Rep. Tom Cole, an Oklahoma Republican who 1 conducted several town halls during the recess. _ "I think gas prices are symbolic of something deeper - a concern about the competitiveness of the economy and questions about whether or not people in Washington are in touch with the average person," Cole said. High gas prices seem' to be a rite of spring and summer, when demand is the highest, but fuel costs are rarely a defining issue on Election Day. Republicans worry that this year may be different. Some said high gas prices could feed the public's sour mood about the direction of the country, underscore perceptions that the GOP is too cozy with big business and reflect voters' belief that nothing gets fixed in Washington- all grim signs for the party controlling both the White · House and · · Congress. "If it becomes a metaphor for a lot of things, it could be dangerous in .t he fall," Cole said. • . & MEDICAL EQUIPMENT Home Oxygen Portable Oxygen Nebulizers Ete<:tric Beds Wheelchairs Diapers Chux Medicare/Medicaid We do the billing locally 740•446~0007 Toll Free 877-669-0007 Best energy efficiency in the universe .comes in black holes, researchers find . BY SETH BORENSTEIN AP SCIENCE WRITER WASHINGTON - With gasoline hitting $3 per gallon, scientists have just found the most energy-efficient engines in the universe - black holes, those whirling super-dense centers of galaxies that suck in nearly everything. The jets of energy spurting out of older ultra-efficient black holes also seem to be playing a crucial role as zonmg cops in large galaxies, preventing too many ·stars from sprouting. That explains why ·there aren't as many burgeoning galaxies chock full of stars as previously expected, said· scientists citing results from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory that were released Monday. For the first time, scientists measured both the mass of hot gas that is being sucked into nine older black holes and the unseen super-speedy jets of high energy particles spit out, which essentially form a cosmic engine. Then they determined a rate of how efficient these older black hole engines are and were awe-struck. These black holes are 25 times more efficient than any~ng man has . built, with nuclear power bemg the most efficient of man-made effo~s. said study lead author Steve Allen of Stanford University and the Stanford Lineat Accelerator Center. :"If you could ; make a car engine that was as efficient as one of these black hole engines you could get about a billion miles per gallon of gas," Allen said. "In anyone's book that would be pretty ......,n " · galaxies in which these black holes live · are bigger thim ours, the Milky Way, and 50 million to 400 million U&Jlt-years away. One light- ..-lk ' year is ·nearly 5.9 trillion miles. The black hole at the center of our galaxy wasn't studied because·it wasn't ~as­ rich and big enough so SC!entists couldn't measure what was going in .and coming out, Allen said. The results were surprising because the types of black holes studied were older, ·less JXlWerful and generally con· sidered "boring," scientists said. But they ended up being more efficient than originally thought - possibly as effi- • cient as their younger. brighter and ·more potent black hole siblings called quasars. Quasars spit out blinding light so scientists can't measure individual energy efficiency for them, said study coauthor Christopher Reynolds of the University of Maryland. But if they coul~. they'd prolr . ably be even more efficient, based on indirect calculations. he said. One of the ways scientists measured the efficiency of black holes was by loo)cing at the jets of high energy spewed out. Those jets produce bulr bles of 'heat nearby, which tend to keep hot gas from . cooling and forming stars irr large galaxies.

The average balance grew from $67,000 at the end of l<999 to more than $91 ,000 by lhe end of 2004, owing to consistent worker .contributions compounded by increasing stock values. All this has profound political implications as well. "Investors, regardless of income, ·gender or race, vote more ~epublican than noninvestors," tax-cut crusaders Grover Norquist and Cesar Conda wrote in a Wall Street Journal analysis about the impact of President Bush's• tax cuts. Financial writer James Glassman helped launch a polling group called Investors Action Alliance that supports their conclusion. Its survey of I ,000 voters in the 2004 election found that among voters under 50, investors preferred Bush 51 percent to 43 percent, while non-investors favored -Sen. John Kerry 53 percent to 36 percent. Gallup Poll editor in chief Frank Newport said there isn't a lot of polling data to support this correlatim1. Still. he told me, "It's possible that, as we; move toward what Bush has called an ownership society, it could change what's important to Americans when they vote." That day seems to be coming and could be accelerated by a pension-reform bill that passed the House last December by a 294-132 vote. One of its key provisions would encourage employers to automatically enroll new workers in 40l(k) plans, making them regular investors unless they choose to opt out. That politically strategic provision, which has reCeived little attention thus far, would turn most of the workforce into investors with a ·growing stake in Wall Street and the corporate economy. When ICI economists calculated· the effect of automatic enrollment, their test model ·projected that 40l(k) participation would rise to 92 percent of all eligible workers. Significantly, their study found that the "posiiive impact of automatic enrollment on participation rates proved even stronger among lower-income workers." These workers. of course, represent the core of the Democrats' base that Republican strategists want to win over in future elections, and they believe that moving them into the investor class is the way to do it. · This was the underlying political strategy at the center of the president's ill-fated Social Security investmentaccount reforms that crash&! in 2005. But expansion of the 40l (k) ownership universe would breathe new life into his plan to turn working-class investors into conservative tax-cut voters.

The ethics panel issued an a.dvisory opinion Friday say· ing that a plan by the Board of Regents to structure a new post for Chancellor Roderick Chu is potentially unethical. Chu is stepping down May 12 to run an online college created by the higher education agency. In general, Ohio law prohibits · public officials from using their office or influence to secure anything of value for themselves. At Friday's meeting, ethics commissioners seemed uncomfortable that Chu had advocated ereating the virtual school. "I don't want to send any message that we've lowered the standard," Commissioner Merom Brachman said. · In the job, Chu would analyze the impact of higher education policy and funding Review ·from Page A1 tion that the buildings should be demolished as scheduled. Village council denied Ervin's request earlier this month for adi:litional time, but the design review board, which must sign off on any downtown demolition, hopes Ervin can save the .historic building. The board, in particular, will require Ervin to provide an architect's summary of work required to bring the building up to cur. rent code, the costs associated with the work, and the means · to pay for those repairs.< Ervin presented the board a letter from Athens Architect David Reiser, who has deemed the building reparable. "Walls are plumb and there is no structural damage beyond repair," Reiser's let· ter says. "Certainly this building should be saved if it is the owner's will." Accordin~ to Rieser, Ervin's buzlding shares a common structural wall with the Darst building. Saving the building, Rieser said, wil,l require underpinning, shoring and constructil)n of a fourth wall for the building. Ervin said he has potential investor's interested in a larg- . Ofl the economy for the proposed Ralph Regula School of Computational Science, a · virtual college. The regents, who oversee $2.47 billion in higher education spending, provide policy advice to the governor and lawmakers, put new education policies in place and lobby the Legislature for state funding. Edmund Adams; chair of the Board of Regents, said the board will review the ethics panel's opinion. Chu said the opinion could create a "roadblock" for the work he had hoped to do for the virtual school and that he and the regents might go back to the Ethics Cormnission to discuss other alternatives. The school is to operate mostly on fed,eral grants. In 1ts opinion, the Ethics Commission said · an exception in the ethics law could allow Chu to take the post if he is paid by the regents instead of the virtual school.

In an interview Monday with CNN, al-Maliki said he would work toward "national reconciliation on the basis of national ·dialogue and common interests" among Iraq's rival ethnic and religious communities.

Livan Hernandez was undone, yet again, by inning No. I. Relying on good off-speed stuff, Ramirez pitched effectively into the eighth inning, , and lhe Cincinnati Reds rode some early offense to a 4-2 victory over the Washington Nationals on Monday night. "I was concentrating on getting ahead on hitters. to make it easier." Ramirez said. "! was very confident." Washington fell to 1-5 at home this season, and the· announced crowd of 19·,264 was the smallest at 46,382capacity RFK Stadium since baseball returned to the capital. At 13-7, the Reds are off to their best 20-game start since 1994, when they were 14-6. The 23-year-old Ramirez (1-0) was called up from Triple-A Louisville to make his first appearance for the Reds since a spot start last July 4. Throwing mostly in the 80s and occasionally showcasing a fastball in the low 90s , the right-hander allowed two runs and six hits, five of them singles. He walked one and even got his first big league hit. Shortstop Royce Clayton said the Nationals were able to study only about 20 pitches of video before facing Ramirez. · "That didn't tell us a heck of a lot,"' Clayton said. It was another example of the Nationals struggling against an unheralded pitcher. While Washington has won games · started by Houston's Roy Oswalt and Atlanta's' John Smaltz lhis season, it also managed just three hits over · seven innings against Mets rookie Brian Bannister when he earned his first major league victory Apri I II. "We don 't .seem to be able to . handle pitchers we don ' t know. First-time guys, we seem to struggle with them," Nationals · manager ·f rank Robinson said. "We're just not swinging the bats very well right now." The Reds, who have won five of s!it, took a 3-0 lead against Hernandez (1-3) in the opening inning by stringing together four hits, including doubles by Felipe Lopez and Edwin Encarnacion. They were helped by an error on right fielder Jose Guillen, who had trouble picking up the ball when Lopez's hit caromed off a wall. Hernandez has allowed 12 first -inning runs in five starts. "The first inning's been tough for him this year," catcher Brian Schneider said. "We just need to nip that in the bud as quick· as ,possible and get that figured out." The Reds tacked on another run in the second. Javier Valentin tripled past a diving Alfonso Soriano in left and scored on Lopez's single. "We told (Ramirez), 'We're going to score some runs for you,"' Valentin said. "We told him, 'Just concentrate, make your pitches and locate the ball."' Hernandez went seven innings, allowing four runs and eight hits . His ERA actually dropped, from 7.11 to 6.68. Washington has lost eight of his last I0 starts dating to Sept. I, 2005. "Everybody's waiting for me to do a better job," said Hernandez, an All-Star who had offseason surgery on his right knee and says it's not hampering him . "Everybody · knows I can pitch better. It's difficult for me." Things began a tad roughly for Ramirez, who was 0-3 in 13 previous appearances in the majors for Cincinnati and Philadelphia. The first batter he faced , Soriano, singled to ceriter, then tagged up and took second on a flyout and scored on Nick Johnson 's single. But Ramirez set down the next 12 hitters in a row. The Nationals scored again off him in the sixth, but two hits, a walk, and a throwing error on third baseman Encarnacion all added up to a solitary run on Guillen's RBI single. · ..

His deep ·voice boomed from lhe. speakers, getting everyone's attention. "It's a lot different from Baltimore," he decided. In every which way. Instead of playing backup quarterback in a Ravens offense designed to nin the ball, Wright has sjgned on to become the backup- and perhaps the temporary starter - in a Cincinnati Bengals offense lhat loves to air it out. :I'he eighlh-year veteran signed a cme-year contract last week to be the Bengals~ No. 2 quarterback. Wilh Carson Palmer recovering from reconstructive knee surgery, there is a reasonable chance Wright will open the season as lhe.starter. "It was a big factor, but I think most of it had to do with the direction that this team is heading in," Wright said Monday,' dressed in a sleeveless gray Bengal8 shirt. "I may start one game, I may . start two games, I may not start at all. But this team is headed in the right direction."

That described today's deal, exCept that Soulh had the singleton heart ace and no club queen. Then if wo'uld be easy to make four spades. You win the first trick w1th · your heart ace, draw trumps, and drive out the miss1ng top diamonds. Deciding lh al that was too easy. I modi· fled the deal as you c:an see. Now how would you pian the play in lour spades? You Jose a heart and ruff the second. North has an Unappeal1ng hand, but with thrli!e spades and seven poin.ls, he should rarse . (Some players would responcl with a torc1ng one no-trump, P.lanmng to rebid lwo spades But then lhe opener will assume his partner has only a doubietbn spade. I dislike misle~ding partner about the length of my · support lor his suit.) South, wllh only live losers {one spade , one heart and three diamonds), is worth the jump lo game. II you draw the opponents ' trumps, you will have only one left. Then, after you dislodge the first lop diamond, you w ill have lo ruff a heart with your final spade. When lhe defenders take their second diamond trick , they will cash a couple of heart tncks to defeat you. If you start on the diamonds immediately. · though. East can get a diamond ruff. Instead, d ra~ two rounds of trumps , then play a diamond. Suppose Easl wins wilh -his king and leads a heart. Trump and pJay another diamond. If West tries a fourth heart,. you ruff 1t on the board , cross to you r hand with a club, remove Wesl's remaining spade, and claim the rema1nder.

The Pittsburgh · Steelers are still selling truckloads of Super Bowl gear. Their players are vacationing all over the globe - Hines . Ward is back from Korea, and Ben Roethli sberger is headed to Switzerland. And such is the team 's popularity that three former players were recruited to campaign for three different companies competing for a downtown slot machines parlor license. But to coach Bill Cowher, that Super Bowl victory in Detroit nearly three months ago is fast becoming long- · ago history. · The Steelers will be· recognized June 2 at the White House, but Cowher plans to officially put the Super Bowl in his team 's past by . then. When his players arrive for their three-day minicamp May 12, he plans to tell them there will be no further talk about what they accomplished last season. He doesn 't want to rum anybody's Super Bowl party - especially not the one planned in Washington , D.C. but , he ' said Monday, it's time to move on. To Cowher, it 's easy to forget now how close the Steelers came to not making the playoffs after needing to . win their final four regularseason games· last season to finish II c5. The difference was that, unlike the season before when the Steelers went 15 · 1 but lost big. at home to the Patriots in the AFC champ io nship game , they peaked when it cou nted.
