WORLD The Daily Sentinel ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER WASHINGTON Responding to an electionyear spike in gasoline prices, Senate Republicans on Wednesday drafted legislation providing $100 rebates for taxpayers as key lawmakers sought access to Big Oil's income tax returns. The rebate legislation also calls for oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, an intensely controversial proposal that will probably contribute to the defeat of the overall measure. . Other elements of the package would provide additional tax rebates for manufacturers of hybrid vehicles and urge President Bush not to add oil to the nalien 's strategic petroleum reserve for six months. No cost esti. mates were available. A vote wa.s poss ible by week's end. Republicans filed their bill several hours after the Senate Finance Committee · announced an investigation into the taxes paid by major oil companies, which reported record profits last year. The committee asked the Internal Revenue Service for the firms' tax returns. Sen. Charles Grassley, RIowa, the committee's chairman,. said the panel was concerned about high company profits and executive compensation. "I want to make sure the oil companies aren't taking a speed pass by the tax man," he said in a statement. ."It's relevant to know what the real financial picture is · for this industry," said Montana Sen. Max Baucus, the ranking Bemocrat on the committee. Bush earlier this week halted filling of the nation 's emergency oil reserve, urged the waiver of clean air rules to ease local gas shortages and called forthe repeal of $2 billion in tax breaks for profit-heavy oil companies. 1-(e a.lso urged lawmakers to expand tax breaks for the purchase of fuel-efficient hybrid automobiles, a politically popular measure that's also supported by environmentalists. Democrats, too, to have called for measures ease the impact higher prices, and accusedofRepublicans of long having done the bidding · of 01.1compames. Sen. Bob Menendez, DN.J .. has called for a 60-day suspension in ,the federal gasoline tax, a holiday that he says will cut the cost of g~so. line by more than 18 cents a gallon and reduce the price of diesel fuel by more than 24 'cents a gallon . · .Officials said the GOP proposal envisions a rebate of $100 per taxpayer, payable by government check. · In a letter to IRS Commissioner Mark Everson, Grassley and Baucus said, "As pressure mounts to address extraordinarily high gas prices that consumers are facing at · the pump, we f!lel we should better understand the federa.l tax posture of the industry." . The senators noted not only the industry profits, but "an extremely lucrative retirement plan by one oil and gas industry executive, benefits which may have been subsidized in budget or staffing levels would have to be approved by Congress.

OPINION Thursday, April27, 2006 A great time to be an !lmerican economy BY DoNALD I.AMBRO WASHINGTON Expectations that the Federal Reserve's interest-rate hikes are nearing an end has reenergized Wall Street's bull market perhaps even Americans' optimism about the economy. Last week's stock rally, fueled not only by news out of the Fed but also by new corwrate earnings and profit reports, was further evidence that the economy is operating on all cylinders, producing jobs in increasing numbers and finally earning the respect it deserves from financial markets. There was also a palpable sigh _of relief at the White House·_ and amo-ng Republicans in Congress that this year's continued rise in stocks may be just what ·is needed to repel the Democrats' furious electionyear offensive. It is going to be much harder for Democratic candidates to argue that the economy and the country are going to hell in a hand basket when businesses are reporting higher profits, jobs are in increasing supply and worker retirement plans are getting richer. Higher pusiness revenues and fatter profits also mean increasing tax revenues at federal, state and local levels. Indeed, most state governments are reporting budget surpluses ·and it will not be long before we will likely see another spurt of deficit-cutting revenue in federal coffers as welL _ The economic news heading into last week, with the glaring exception of oil and gas. prices, was pretty good to . begin with. . · The March job numbers were great, shrinking uitemployment to 4.7 percent ~ lower than the a¥erage rate in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. We've created over 5.1 · million new jobs since August 2003, more than Europe and Japan combined. Consumer confidence was climbing, · with the Conference Board Index rising to 107.2 in March, its highest level in nearly four years·. · Real disposable incomes were up 2.2 percent in the last l2 months. In fact, real per capita after-tax income has risen by 8.3 percent since 200 I. Inflation, that wearily worrisome boogey man that frightens the ·Fed so much, has not bee~ as scary as they feared. Core inflation, when ' volatile food, and oil prices are excluded, rose .by a tame 2.1 percent in the last 12 . months. But last week's news out of the Fed, whi~h cheered the stock markets, appeared to be il sign that they no longer feared inflation, or at least the core rate. Instead, they feared that their credit tightening could go too far in their efforts to cool the economy and sandbag it in the process, a concern raised in this column in February. "Most members thought the end of the tightening process was likely to be near," said the minutes pf the Fed's last closed-door meeting on March 27-28. That was the operative sentence that sent Wall Street into a frenzy of stock buying. But · the minutes also explained the fears that were expressed around the Fed governors' table as they raised the federal funds rate another quarter of a point to 4.75 percent, the highest in five years: · "Some expressed concerns about the dangers of tightening too much, given the lags in the effects of policy," the board's minutes said. Well, I'll be darned, that was exactly the fear expressed in 'my Feb. 20 column which said: "This is why economy watchers are worried that (Fed Chairman Ben) Bernanke will misread his economic tea leaves and raise interest rates longer than neeessary. The long march upward in quarter-point hikes may seem harmless at the Fed, at 'least in the short-term, but it's their hidden long-term impact that we should be concerned about." In that column, I quoted economic strategist Dave Thursday, April27, 2006 Deaths FAMILY MEDICINE Anemia can be first clue to Sprue, as·in reader's case Johnny E. Mathews Smick, who heads an international consulting firm here, warning that, "If you wait until you see signs of weakness by raising rates, you will generally overshoot in the context of monetary policy because -once the weakness appears you · still have six .months of the effects from tightening still to come out." This fear of overshooting was spelled out in the Fed meeting's minutes. and it will be the chief reason when they _decide to stop raising rates. But what about oil prices? Won't they worsen inflation? Perhaps, if the price keeps rising. But that did not hap_pen last year when oil went to $50 a barrel, then to $60, then to $65. The economy seemed to absorb the price hikes .without any Serious impact on its growth, jobs or the core rate of inflation. I think that will be the Cl!Se this year as well. There is nothing wrong with the price of oil and gas that .new, aggressive exploratiol), drilling in the outer continental shelf and in Arctic National Wildlife Refilge, and a lot more gasoline refineries cannot cure. For now, though, with ·gas prices hitting $3 a gallon for regular, I suspect we will see a drop off in gasoline sales as motorists cut back a bit on their driving, and a rise in inventqries as refineries push to meet demands. The market place always ·responds to higher prices. ~AHlER. «rooE '1:1'~> PISFI<{!t:H · RIO GRANDE - Johnny E.

Question: I was recently diagnosed with SJ?rue. I was told to go on a stnct diet and eat no grains. I am 62 and basically healthy. My doctor found this when she worked up my anemia. Will I have this forever? Is there a treatment that will cure this? Sprue, also Answer: known as eel iac disease, or gluten enteropathy, can occur at any age. It can start in young babies as well as senior citizens. Over 20 percent of the cases of sprue are in people over 60.. Sprue is more common in women and people of European descent but is rare in those of Asian and African heritage. It does run in families. Often sprue has no symptoms ar all, and it is diagnosed when an alert physician is doing a wor,kup for anotber condition such as fatigue, weakness, bone loss or even a mood disorder. I take it this is what happened in your case. Recent research has shown that sprue is much more common than previously thought. We hear a lot about "madmen" taking power .in far-off lands -· most often lands· with large oil reserves. A few pertinent questions: Has the White House lost its col• lective mind? Do the president and his minions believe that Americans can be stampeded into another needless w;tr to save his party from the consequences of the catastrophe in Iraq? Is the Bush administration seriously thinking of bombing - possibly nuking - Iran for political purposes? Is it actually possible, as has been reported, that Bush believes himself to be oil a divine, messianic mission? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then our democracy · may be sleepwalking into its -worst crisiS' since the Civil War. A "pre-emptive" strike on Iran, because it might hypotheti cally develop nuclear weapons five or 10 years hence, would be a naked act of aggression. N~t to mevtion an offense against the U.S. Constitution. On what authority would Bush make war on a ·nation that played no .rple in Sept. II, bears enmity toward AI Qaeda and has never serious,ly threatened .to attack the United States? His own? God's? So far, Iran hasn't even violated the nonproliferation treaty giving signatories the right to develop nuclear energy for peaceful use. It boasts of purifying a small amount of uranium ore to the standard needed to generate electricity. Experts say Iran would need roughly I00 times its present refining capacity over several years to accumulate . enough Gene Lyons weapons'-grade uranium to make a bomb. Despite the absurd and offensive posturing of its presidfOnt, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad - . a demagogic politician playing to his own "base" - no immediate danger exists. Yet, many of the same keyboard commandos who orchestrated the propaganda campaign that drove the U.S. into Iraq are beating war drums. Scary "intelligence" claims again proliferate. The same' geniuses that claimed to know the precise loc~tion of Iraq's nonexistent WMDs now warn us of, Iran's double-secret arms programs. Full-page ads have appeared in newspapers in the United States·and Europe conjuring ' the . prospect of Iranian nuclear attacks against Israel and the West - an entirely imaginary scenario. · The other day, Pre_sident Bush , sounding like a Valley Girl, told a California audience he'd tried ·to avoid war . with Iraq "diplomatically to · the max" - a falsehood so brazen it's almost tempting to fear he believes it . Given that British government documents portray Bush di scussing with Prime Minister Tony. Blair how to trick up a ~ phony incident justifying an attack against Saddam · Hu ssein in early 2003 , It's . reasonable to, wonder .what schemes he's conjuring now. He also credited · "the Almighty" as the inspiration_ for his foreign policy. At times like these, it's worthwhile recalling George Orwell's distinction between patriotism and nationalism. Orwell wrote the essay "Notes on Nationalism" in 1945, just as the most cataclysmic war in human history was ending in Europe. "By patriotism," he wrote. "I m~an devotion to a partieular place and a particular , way of life, which one believes to be the best _in the world, but has no wtsh to force upon othe~ people. · Patnotlsm ts of zts. nature defenstve, both mthtanly · and culturally." Nationalism, as Orwell defined it, "is inseparable from the desire for ppwer ... a nationalist is one who thinks solely, or mainly, in terms of competitive prestige ... his thoughts always turn on victories, defeats, triumphs and humiliations." To him, it was "power hunger tempered by self-deception," a kind of moral insanity. Presaging hi s masterpiece " 1984," Orwell was most alarmed by the fervid nationalist's indifference to reality: "Actions are held to be good or bad, not on their own merits, but according to who does them, and there is almost no kind of outrage torture , the use of hostages, forced labour, mass deportations, imprisonment without triah forgery, assassination, the bombing of civilians which. does not change its moral colour when it is committed by 'our' side." An interesting .li st under present circumstances, don't you think? , More recently, the eminent Israeli military historian Martin van Creveld has cautioned that hysterical warnings about this or that country Russia, China, Pakistan, India - developing nuclear weapons have occurred regularly .since Hiroshima. Yet the taboo against their actual use has held, partly because rational actors know that even "tacti" cal" weapons Bush administration tou~hs fantasize about !(re . upwards of 10 times more powerful . than the A-bombs dropped on Japan. Also because, van Creveld makes clear, deterrenee works . . Israel h _ ,. _ • e wntes .can qutck~y t~rn . Tehran mto a radtoact~ve des~rt - a fact of w~tch IJ:amans .are fully aware.

"When you've got good .stuff, especially playing in a park like this, that's so big, you can be really aggressive and kind of go after these guys." He struck out eight ·and walked ·two in his latest impressive outing since a spring training trade from the Red Sox. Arroyo was headed to Boston's bullpen wlien he was dealt for outfielder Wily Mo Pena. "It's a little different vibe," . Arroyo said. "Being in Boston, you're expected to win every night.

CLASS.IFIED · Haywood's hard foul alters Cavs-Wizards series WASHINGTON (AP) Brendan Haywood wasn't even supposed to be startmg thts senes Hts play for the Washington Wizards has been overlooked so often that he started refernng to htmself and Jared Jeffnes as the "Little Two" - as opposed to tpe Btg Three that lead the team m sconng and pubhctty The 7-foot center made hts mark, however, agamst none other than LeBron James m Game 2 of the Wizards' first· round series agamst the Cleveland Cavahers. His not· so-gentle bear hug of the supersf:¥ dnvmg the lane set the tone for Tuesday's 89-84 v1ctory, wh1ch t1ed the senes at one game apiece. "One play doesn 't wm a ball game," Haywood sa1d after a short practice Wednesday at the Venzon Center "Some guys satd it helped us out a lot I'm not sure It was JUSt one play It was somethmg I felt needed to be done I thought the team as a whole, we all knew we had to be better and bnng a more phystcal presence " Haywood can downplay hts hard foul all he wants, but consider th1s· James made both free throws after the foul to gtve Cleveland a 21-8 lead with 3 47 to go m the first quarter - and dtdn't score agam for nearly 14 mmutes The Wtzards had caught up by the ttme James made hts next basket, a layup With two mmutes remammg m the half "Jared had a great foul, then it led to Brendan's foul," for· ward Caron Butler said. "That sohd1fied what we were trymg to do m the pamt. I don't thmk 1t rattled htm, but I thmk 1t made h1m thmk twtce about commg m there. He's still a great player, he does so many thmgs. well, but he d1d thmk tw1ce about commg m there " James certamly wasn't hts usual self After a tnple-double playoff debut m Game I, he had I 0 'turnovers in Game 2 and scored 26 points on 7of-25 shootmg He mtssed a dunk and cost hts team late by throwmg the ball underneath the Cleveland basket while trymg to save tt from gomg out of bounds The Wtzards mtercepted for an easy score Not that James tsn't used to gethng fouled - 1t's JUSt that he often doesn't get fouled hard enough. He led the NBA wnh 79 three-pomt plays durmg the regular season. The Wtzards felt n was time he started shootmg two tree throws - mstead of one "It's JUSt a play where you foul somebody hard, aggresSively and make sure they don' t get the layup," Haywood satd.

The Wizards also won because the Btg Three Gilbert Arenas, Antawn Jam1son and Butler - combmed for 72 pomts, 50 percent better than thetr 48 pomts m Game I Thetr 67.1 average dunng the regular season made them the highest scormg tno m the league. But coach Eddie Jordan wanted to make sure that JUSt dues went to Haywood and Jeffries, who was the mam defender on James. "We talk about the Btg Three, but who made the most contributions? The Little Two," Jordan said. "Brendan's hard foul and Jared's defense" Haywood said he came up with the Little 1\vo mckname during a practice last season, when Arenas, Jamtson and Larry Hughes were known as the Big Three. When Jordan wanted to give the three marquee players the day off, Haywood protested, "Hold on, what about the Ltttle 1\vo?" Haywood's future wtth the Wizards is uncertain. He has had a disappointing' season and lost his starting spot to Etan Thomas in March. He's stanmg again because Thomas came down with a back InJury, but it's clear the big center wants to know where he fits before next season begins.

The 1975· 76 Cavahers, led by Jtm Chones, Austin Carr, Bingo Smllh, Jmuny Cleamons and veteran Nate Thunnond, won the Central OtvlSion by a game over Washington, then known as the Bullets But the Cavalters were underdogs to the expenenced Washmgton team in the Eastern Conference senufinals That only msptred Cleveland fans hungry for a champ1onsh1p ·sentinel ~ribune at a t1me whep football's Browns and baseball's Indtans were no longer contenders. "Those crowds were unbelievable," smd Joe Tat!, the longtime radio vmce of the Cavaliers "Back m those days the top seat m the house sold for 12 bucks So anybody who could afford a stx-pack of beer could also afford to come see the Cavaliers play " Trut estJmated that the noise generated by the exuberant fans who saw James post a tnpledouble Saturda_y m Game I downtown at Quicken Loans Arena sull wasn't as loud as the nmse of the blue-collar "MJracle': playoff crowds at the Richfield Coliseum ~'They were on thetr feet a half an hour before the ballgames chanting 'We want the Cavs,'" Ta1t recalled In the Washmgton locker room, the blackooard had to be held so that coach K C. Jones could dtagram plays "The walls were shaking from the n01se," Trut srud Cleveland won two games by a pomt, lost Game 6 in overtime. then won the series on Otck Snyder's bank shot wtth four seconds left m Game 7. "The way the games were won,1t was like a mrracle," said Chuck Broski, a courts1de sta· ttSltcJan for the Cavahers for 36 years. "It could have eastly gone the other way " Cavahers general manager Danny Ferry, whpse father, Bob, was Washmgton's GM • from 1973-90, recalls the Bullets were a btl surpnsed by Cleveland "I thmk I was 9 at the time," Ferry srud "I remember the games were very close and our fanuly was very dtsappomted when n was all over " Washmgton, led by Elvm Hayes, Wes Unseld and Phil Chenier, bouni:ed back to wm the championship two years later. Cleveland ran out of mrracles Chones, the team's leadmg scorer, broke his foot m practice before the Eastern Conference finals agamst Boston The Cavalters lost m six. games to the Celucs, who went on to another champtonsliip Campy Russell, one of seven players to average double figures m sconng for the "Mtracle" team, IS among many who remam convinced that Cleveland was headed for the title. 'There is no question in my mind,'' Russell said. "We had the team, the chenustry, expect for Jim breaking his foot." Russell, now dtrector of alumm relatiOns for the Cavaliers, fondly recalls the electnctty of the crowd and the camaradene between the fans and players But he hasn't spent too much time this week renuniscmg and thinking what m1ght have been I Adult Mate Box Face Black Lab Good Natured 740· 742·2880 Dingo m1x dog Not good with children {great watch Please call dog) (7401446-41 11 Free to good home black rabbit Call (7401448 4177 tor more Information Free to goocl hOme mixed breed puppies black/white medium size Call (7401448·6233 Spamel Type Dog Wh1lefTan Female , Fnendly 740-698·9252 Trane gas furnace, tO yrs old gOOd working order (7401742·2380 r lnrrAND FOUND Found E11penslve pair of prescnphon glasse1 on Mulberry Heights Sundav aftemoon Call 740-992· 0051 FOUND Leon area Cattle Identify pay dam· ages & boanJ by 5/2106 (614) 302•1873 Lost Blacl< Lab pupJl'l wnh whlte on her neck, around Garfield Ave area Call (740)339 3400 r r~I r"-..~ARD-AlJ I'O(.&'i_SAIJl. \\'\til '\ t I \ II \ I " _ _• Concealed P1stol Class Ohk> WV, May f3 2006 $75 00 9 OOam 1/FW Mason wv Ph (74018435555 3 fam1iy 1/4 m1les SR 218 Fri-Sat Vera Bradley, appliances name brand clothes aH stzes Couch w/match chatr Zen•th TV glass top coffee tabfe tamps mise cloth-Ing tools sewtng machtne wltable, slates (for palntmg) Charcoal gnU variOus other Interesting items 102 Ftrst Avenue (rear) Apnl 28th-29th 8 30am· JOOpm Fight the coat of goal car pool trom Pomeroy to Gallipolis (Bam 5pml I dnve you ride spl~ gas SmokSrs welcome Call Melissa (7401446·2342 ext 14 or (D.dD: ooonfW90430chartor net CLASSIFIED INDEX 4x4'e For S.te ....... .. .

I jumped to six . hearts, assuming partner would go seven with three aces. But he passed , thinking that I knew he had three, not zero.
