"People put us down and out, but we're not going to quit," said Roethlisberger. who brought Pittsburgh back a week ago to beat New Orleans and shook off a sore shoulder in 'the fourth period. "We stayed together and came back to win." Roethlisberger made tiis impromptu flick to Parker after avoiding Browns rookie Kamerion Wimbley, who pressured the QB throughout the second half and drilled him several times on the Steelers' game-winning drive. "I scrambled and . saw Willie," said Roethlisberger, 18-for-29 in the finall5 minutes, "I told him later I thought twice about giving it Ill him. He didn 't like that, but I was joking. I knew he'd get in." Parker, whose !-yard TD . run with 4: 14 left brought the Steelers within 20-17, gave aU the credit to his quarterback. "It was completely improvised by Ben." Parker said. '1t was a great play. He's our leader. We came back when he did' it all." The ' victory was the Steelers' first in five road games this season and Pittsburgh's first away from Heinz Field since humiliating the Browns 41-0 on Christmas Eve last season. The Browns (3- 7) spent all week talking about getting revenge, and for most ·of the rainy afternoon it looked like they would get it. ·Michigan from PageBl Michigan gets another shot at Ohio State, it would be a different game.

The Cardinals took a 1-0 lead after the first round in the shoccc:"; ·when Dusty Green "unnected on his kick and Rio Grande's Jason Massie 's blast pinged off the right goalpost. Shields gave the Cardinals command of the shootout when he stopped Callum Morris' shot to the left to give William Jewell a 3-1 lead after the third round. Rio Grande goalie Derek Talcott stopped John Barber 's pick in the fourth round to keep the Redmen alive, but Shields then saved Conar Dawson kick to preserve the win. William Jewell improved . to 18-2-2 and will face the winner of the quarterfinal between No. 8 seed Azusa Pacific Un.i versity at 6 p.m. Monday in a semifinal contest. The Redmen ended their season at 182-1. • two straight games si nee 2003, might hang on. Roethlisberger, though, refused to let the Steelers down. Finally finding his touch, he completed three thirddown passes as Pittsburgh drove 79 yards and pulled within 20-17 on Parker's 1yard run. Cleveland's offense had a chance to run time off the clock, but after two running plays gained just 2 yards, Frye's third-<lown pass was batted down at the line by leaping Steelers safety Troy Polamalu. The Steelers got the ball back with 3:06 left, and Roethlisberger hit passes of 13, 15 and 21 yards to get Pittsburgh in range for a possible tying field goal. He then hooked up with Holmes for a first down at Cleveland's 16. Two plays later, he bought himself just enough time from Cleveland's rush to flip the ball to Parker. . "Ben's got eyes to find you, so you better stay ready all the time," Parker said. "He'll make something out of nothing. And he got us this But Cleveland's defense couldn't stop Roethlis~rger when it mattered most, and the Browns dropped their sixth straight game to their bitter rivals, who have won 12 of the last 13 between the teams. "We had them," said tight end Kellen Winslow, who engaged in some serious pregame trash talki11g with Pittsburgh 's Joey Porter. "We're in every single game. We just have to find a way to pull it out at the end." Porter had no sympathy. "If you talk and lose, you're still losers." he said. "They talk like a different team, but in reality they are ·not. They had all the breaks, all the bounces. But when it was nail-biting time and you've got to make plays, who made them?" After Roethlisberger's hookup with Parker, the Browns drOve to Pittsburgh's 22. With 3 seconds left, Charlie Frye threw a jump · ball to the back of the end zone that Braylon Edwards nearly grabbed in a crowd. But when the ball fell to the ground, several of the Steelers dropped to their knees in relief. Edwards, Winslow and other Cleveland players consoled each other after another tough loss. "This is very disappointing, especially after that 41-0 loss ]ast year," linebacker Andra Davis said. "We've been looking forward to this one since that clock went to zeros." The Browns, who led I 0-0 at halftime, were up 13-10 after Roethlisberger connected for a 20-yard TD pass to rookie Santonio Holmes with 9:33 left. But Cleveland's Joshua Cribbs returned the ensuing kickoff 92 yards for a touchdown, and it looked as if the Browns, who haven't won Roethlisberger finished 25-of-44 for 272 yards and two TDs. Frye was 17-of-27 for 224 yards. Cleveland's offense wasted two scoring chances in the first quarter, but ~ defense gave the Browns a 7-0 lead a~ cornerback Daven Holly returned a tipped pass 57 . yards to make it 7-0. Notes: Wimbley's 6 1-2 sacks are the most by a Browns rookie. Michael Dean Perry had .six sacks in 1988. Browns RB Reuben Droughns sat out with· a sprained right foot. His replacement.

"I would love for there to be a rematch, of course. Now, if I won, I would probably be like, 'No, I don't want a rematch."' Michigan's best chance to . play for their fust national title since 1997 would be for Florida, USC, Arkansas · and Notre Dame - who lost47-21 to the Wolverines - to drop another game ove~ the next two weeks. If at least one of those · four contenders remains a one-loss team, it will come down to poll voters and computer rankings that the BCS uses to determine the top two teams to match up iri its national championship game. "The BCS is a system that we have that will take care of all of that," Michigan coach -Lloyd Carr said.

"We sit down and we're ready . to make an agenda. It's-hystericaL" Dorion, 39, has been shopping with the group which now includes her parents, daughter, siblings, cousins and has even been extended to close family friends - the day after Thanksgiving for 20 years. They usually spend about $2,000. Dorion will roll out of bed at 3:30 a.m. to get to stores by 5. She used to wake up at 5:30 a.m. when stores opened at 7, ''We have a ball," she said. "We have so much fun you just can't imagine." They start the -day by breaking into smaller groups and hitting stores such as . Toys R Us, Kohl's, Target and Best Buy, said Dorion's daughter Megan, 22! in her fourth year of shoppmg With the fru:nily. The family sets a minimum age of 18 to go along. The shoppers look to grab the popular and more expensive items first, such as PlayStations, DVD players and video games. Buying clothes can wait because the deals .usually aren't as good, she said. - Over the years, the family . has perfected methods to ensure success on Black Friday. For items that wiU go fast. the family puts a shopper at each store entrance since there is no way to know where. for ex.an1ple. Target is going to plop down a tower of $44 stereos with CD changers. one of Tammy Dorion's best deals in recent years. If there's a hot item that isn't on your list, grab it anyway - someone ill the group might need -it And always send one shopper for a can - they're invaluable and rare on Black Friday. Each shopper dispatched to a certain store has a list of what all the other shoppers need at that location. Communication is key and family, members stay in eon-. slant contact via cell phones. "If the sale. is over by the time we get to the .store or the price is more, we will call the person and say, 'Hey, it's $10 more - do you still want it?'" Megan Dorion said. Usually the answer is yes. -Around 8 or 9 a.m., the group meets at a big box store, and exchange what they picked up for each other. Payments won't be made until later, when everyone has a chance to look at their receipts. _ After they've grabbed their must-haves and big deals, the family heads to the mall for a more leisurely pace, Megan Dorion said. They cap off the shopping with another tradition - lunch. "That's where grandpa comes in. He usually pays for lunch," Megan Dorion said. "Before that he sits and watches the carts while we shop."

Thought for Today: ''Never confuse motion with action." , - Ernest Hemingway, American author (1899-1961). t • I I Tuesday, November 21, 2006 Obituaries Weakened Bush must wage fight for free trade Having failed to convince fellow Republicans of the merits of comprehensive reform, immigration President Bush now faoes the even more difficult task of defending free trade against proteCtionist Democrats. A tide of populism, protectionism, · nationalism and xenophobia is washing over the country, fueled by rightwing mdio talk -show hosts, CNN firebrand Lou Dobbs - and legitimate concerns that U.S. worlcers are falling behind in tl]e global struggle for jobs and good wages. . Anti-globalization is a worldwide phenomenon, in fact, that's being exploited by populist demagogues such as Venezuela's Hugo Chavez, whose influence is spreading in Latin A)llerica. Even though his influence is at its all-time lowest ebb, Bush somehow needs to mount a campaign to convince Americans that their cOntinued prosperity depends on an open world-trading system. Election exit· polls confirmed that the country generally supports Bush on immigration - 57 percent of voters said illegal workers should have a chance to stay in the country - but other polls indicate Americans are fearful about trade. A Gallup Poll in April showed that by a margin of 65 percent to .30 percent, Americans believe worlcers are "mostly hun by increased trade between the United States and other countries." . Last July, the House passed the Central American Free T'rnde Agreement by a mere two votes, with only 15 Democrats in suppon. That history bodes ill for Bush's upcoming trade agenda, mcluding renewal of "fasttrack" negotiating authority and the already negotiated agreements with Peru and Colombia · The House last week even declined to pass an agreement with Vietnam that toially benefited the United States by opening Vietnam's markets to U.S. goods, in the process embarrassing Bush as he was cheating by China and other rivals; a serious upgrade of programs to help workers cope with the effects of trade; and a change of policy on including labor and environmental standards in future trade agreements.

Productivity gains are benetiting upperincome and well-educated Americans, but not average workers. Wage growth was stagnant for the ftrst five ye.'U'S of the Bush administration. Real wage growth for. the past year was 2.8 percent, but it has come late in the recovery,' amid signs that the economy already is softening. Admini-stration officials say the productivity-wage lag for less-educated workers is a 25year phenomenon and that the answer is improving worker skills. If that. is the administration's only answer, it needs to be more aggressive in promoting it. · At the same time, it ought to work with Democrats to find other solutions, such as · Brookings Institution scholar William Galston's idea for a wage-itisurance program, akin to the unemploymentinsurance system, · which would protect workers · against income losses. In the new Congress, incoming House Ways and Means · Chainnan Charlie Rangel, D-NY., says he foresees cooperating with the administration on trade, but Democrats will demand more attention to tmding partners' labor and environmental standards. Administration officials say other nations ~n 't willing to have the United States dictate their wage rates or emissions levels - ·as the AH.rCIO seems to demand - but the United States will have to win some new concessions or risk having trade pacts rejected by Congress. Expansions in frie trade have caused the United States and the world to advance economically and politically since the end of World War II, but those. gains are in danger of coming to a crashing halt unless there's a counter to ascendant prOiectionism. !Morton Kondracke is executive editor of Roll Call, rhe newspaper of Capitol Hill.)

U.S. wary of Iran, Syria involvement in Iraq, amid debate on troop levels BY LOLITA c. BALDOR •ssoct••Eo PRESS WRITERS " "' WASHINGTON _ The Bush administration cast a wary eye Monday on signs that Iran and Syria were taking a more active diplomatic role in Iraq, even as debate in the U.S. centered on how many troops to keep in the war. Just days after reports that U.S. officials · were discussing a . broader role for Iran and ~yria, Ir~qi lawmakers s~1d . Iraman Iead~rs had. mv1te~ the Iraq1 and Synan pres1~ents · for a weekend sumrrut. . A S~te Dep;u:tment offic1al s!Ud that wh1~e strong relalions between the three · countries were encouraged, actions would speak louder than words. In the past, said deputy spokesman Tom Casey, "while there have been positive statements from the · Iranian government about wishing to play a positive role in Iraq, those statements haven't been" backed up by actions." . He offered similar assessment of Syria, saying the problem , "is not what they say; the problem is wl!at they do. .. . What we would like to see the Syrians do is take actions to, among other things; prevent · · foreigq fighters from coming across the border into Iraq." At the same time, there have been indications that a special U.S. ad.visory commission is considering a Dog licenses POMEROY -Dog and kenm!l licenses for 2007 will be available on Dec.

The Rio Grande Jazz Ensemble features the following members: Ryan, Duffy on alto saxophone, Robe.rt Fulton on alto saxophone, Tracy Fee on tenor recommendations that could include a broader role in the region by Syria and Iran. The Iraq Study Group, led by Bush family friend and former Secretary of State James · Baker and former Rep. Lee Hamilton, is expected to issue its report soon. . One military official close to the group's discussions said that one · option could combine encouraging talks with Iran and Syria with shifting the U.S . military focu s away from combat and toward training the Iraqi forces. But members of the commission have expressed concern that working · with Iran and Syria could require America "to enter into a de facto partnership with them," with possible tradeoffs, said the official, who requested anonymity because the group's discussions have not been made public. U.S. leaders, meanwhile, continue to debate how long and how many troops · to keep in Iraq. House Armed Services Committee Chairman Duncan Hunter said Monday that the U.S. needs to push more· Iraqi security forces to the front lines. Other Americans, including some military offiCials, have suggested boosting U.S. troop levels to help train the Iraqis. President Bush said Monday he wasn't ready to decide between the rival calls for more or fewer U.S. troops on the ground. Referring to the Iraqi security forces, Hunter told The Associated Press, "We need to saddle those up and deploy them to the fight" in dangerous areas, primar,ily in . Ba~hdad. Hunter, a California Republican who is interested in his party's 2008 pre sidential nomination, took a different tack from Sen. John McCain, a frontrunning 2008 hopeful who has urged that additional U.S. troops be sent. Separately, a study of options for U.S. military action in Iraq is under way by a Pentagon group set up by Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The Washington Post on Monday qupted se nior defense officials saying the review is looking at three options - injecting more troops into Iraq, shrinking the force but staying longer or pulling out. Senior Pentagon officials said Monday that Pace has indicat~d .all options are on the table, ranging from boosting. the number of troops in Iraq, even on a temporary basis, to withdrawing a substantial portion of the roughly 141,000 .there now. Pace has asked a group of about 16 military members, largely colonels who have recently served in the Gulf region, to look at what is going right or· wrong 1n the war and to discuss options for progress. The g~oup is not expected to submit a report, but Pace will use any thoughts and options coming out of the review to help develop his own recommendations for the defense secretary and the president. Maj . Gen : William B. Caldwell, a military spokesman in Iraq, said Monday that adding more U.S. forces ·would "achieve a short-term solution . but it's not going to achieve a long-term effect. ... The key to this thing is we have got to get the Iraqi security forces able to operate in an· independent manner, on their .own., Also on Monday, Rep. Charles Rangel. a New York . Dell)ocrat, pushed anew for his idea that the military draft. should be reinstated. And he said in a speech at Baruch College that he wanls to hold hearings into current troop levels and future pl;:tn' for · Iraq and other potential conflict regions. House Speaker-to-be Nancy Pelosi said reviving the draft would not be on the early legislative priority li st for the II Oth Congress.

According to animal rights activists, millions of animals are bred for their fur - mostly in China and other Asian nations. A ban on dog and cat fur has been in place in the United States since 2000, but activists complain that labeling is not required on items costing less than $150. "Unfortunately, in the U.S. there's a loophole in the law. · Products sold under a certain price range don't have to be labeled, so consumers can't actually be sure if the fur is from a rabbit or from a cat or a dog," said Zibby Wilder, of the Animal . Protection Institute, based in Sacramento, Calif. Unregulated products include winter actessories such as earmuffs, gloves and hats, as well as key chains and fur trim on clothing, she said. Because of · the fur . trade's secretive nature, Kyprianou said it's hard to estimate how much dog and cat fur finds its way onto the market, or pinpoint its source. In the United States, "it comes over as trim ... whether its toys or lining of parkas or the lining of gloves or boots , So with the open-ended circumstances with labeling ... it could be coming in very widely for all we know," said Wayne Pacelle, .the president and CEO of the Humane Society of the .Oniled States.

Russian animal rights activists have campaigned against cruel practices in China's fur industry, including the export to Russia and other countries of cat and dog fur passed off as that of other animals. In February, activists of the Alliance for Animal Rights carried out . a protest near the Chinese Embassy in Moscow. Members of the EU parliament have already given wide. cross-party support for a ban. "It was impossible to understand how anyone could treat these animals in such a barbaric way," said Briti:sh Conservative Struan legislator Stevenson.

The Browns have developed a taste for bitter pi lis, and Sunday 's had a familiar flavor. "We had our spurts like we always do," quarterback Charlie Frye said. "We looked good for a while and not so good for·a while . We need to find a way to always look good ." The Browns were looking good with a I 0-0 lead at halftime .and a I 0-3 advantage after three quarters . They were still up 2010 deep into the fourth quarter when another of those funky, only-toCleveland plays happened. On first down, Browns defensive tackle Nick Eason broke through Pittsburgh's line and got into the face of· Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who pump faked. But instead of wrapping his arms around Roethlisberger and sa<;king him, Eason, who had his head down, pulled off and raised his arms to show the Thesday, November 21, 2006 www.mydailysentinel.com officials he wasn't making contact. Trouble was, Roethlisberger didn ' t throw the ball away until after Eason eased up. A few plays later, the Steelers scored a touchdown to pull within three. "Next time, I'll run through him," Eason said. "They try to protect the quarterback so much in this league . When I saw his hand go up , I pulled off." A '!lack on that pl.ay would have at least. slowed Roethlisberger, who after throwing three first-half interceptions, passed for an astounding 224 yards in the fourth quarter to rail y the Steelers. Eason's missed chance at a big play can be traced to another pivotal one in the first half that went against the Browns. Late in the second quarter, cornerback Daven Holly, whose 57-yard interception return for a TD ga;ve Cleveland a 7-0 lead, picked off his second pass. As he began weaving his way up field , Browns defensive lineman Simon Fraser leveled Roethlisberger; who was attempting to get in on a tackle . When Roethlisberger got up, Fraser drilled him again and was flagged 15 yards for roughing. The penalty wiped out Holly 's return to the Steelers' 5, moving the ball back to Pittsburgh's 44 . The Brown s picked up one first down, but failed to convert the turnover into points - a blown chance at extending their I 0-point lead that would come back to haunt them. Cleveland coach Romeo Crennel took issue with the · officials ' interpretation of a rule meant to protect quarterbacks. "In this situation , the quart~ rbac k was trying to make the tackle and we blocked him," Crennel argued. "He became a defender and we blocked him . When he got blocked on the ground, he got up and we blocked him again . If that block was made on another defender, · they wouldn 't have called that. "They said 'that the second block was unnecessary ·so they called it. I think we should tell the quarterback to lie on the ground if he doesn 't want to be a defender. If we do that, it should be clear for everybody. ... Either he's a defender or a quarterback. Which one is it?'' And for that matter, who are the Browns? From play to play and game to game, they swing back and forth on a pendulum of ·unpredictability. They ' re not yet talented enough to overcome injuries or . mi stakes, but they're not getting blown out either. Of Cleveland 's seven losses, six have been by I 0 points or less. The Browns had their chance s· to beat the Steelers, but again came up short as costly penalties, scoreless visits inside Pittsburgh 's 20-yard line and too much Roethlisberger crushed them. Crennel, 'now 9-17 in two seasons, remains patient. Really. he has no choice but to do so and has been encouraged · by the fight his players have shown.
