The date was disclosed · Tuesday by · Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff in an interview . with The Associated Press. The Homeland Security Department plans to announce the change on Wednesday. · The department had been expected to institute the passport requirement for air travelers around the beginning of the year. Setting the date on Jan. 23 pushes the stan past the holiday season. The re<:juirement marks a change for Americans, Canadians, Bermudians and some Mexicans. Currently, U.S. citizens returning from other countries in the hemisphere; are not required to present passports but must show other proof of citizenship such as driver's licenses or birth certificates.

Chertoff said his agency's data revealed that in September 2006, 90 percent of passengers leaving from Canadian airports bad passports.

In contrast, the incoming Democratic governor, formerly an official in the Bill Clinton administration, has ~aid, "I think the (high court) got it right." Gov.· elect Deval Patrick continued, "I think all they did was affirm the principle that people come before their government as equals." . At the pre-Thanksgiving week rally in Boston, gaymarriage proponents booed as the Pledge of Allegiance was said and "God Bless America" was sung. It was an appropriate scene. As Maggie Gallagher recently put it on her maniagedebate.com blog: "They want their rights, do they care yours?" · In about Massachusetts, the issue of gay marriage has not only been about the · marriage issue itself, but also about iss1,1es like religious liberties: Can a Catholic group refuse to place children with a gay couple? And whether he finds himself about to move into the White House two years from now, Romney's already contributed a great deal to the debate over mar· riage in America with the tone of his principled rhetoric. At a recent evangelical rally, the Mormon took back some of the left's monopoly on "the children." He said, "The price of same-sex marriage is paid by children. Our fight for marriage, then, should focus Hospitalized . POMERO"X -. Ric~ard Berry, former Meigs County res- on the needs of children, not the rights of adults. In fact, as Americans, I believe that we should show an ootpOur· ing of respect and tolerance for all people, regardless of their differences or their different choices. We must vigorously reject discrimination anq bigotry. We are all God's children. He abhol's none of us." Gay marriage isn't an issue most like to have to talk about. Any sense tllat , people are being deprived . rights rightfully makes . many squeamish. But mar-.: riage is fundamentally what it is - between a man and a . woman. As Romney put it in a letter to U.S. senators this summer as they were taking up a federal marriage amendment: "Americans are tolerant, generous, and kind people. We all oppose bigotry and disparagement, and we all 'wish to avoid hurtful disregard of the feeh. ings ·of others. But the debate over same-sex mar· riage is not a · debate over tolerance. It is a debate about .the purpose of the institution of marriage." If conservatives ·can articulate that - something kinder and gentler than the caricature of gay-marriage opponents - we may just · get somewhere. It's a pretty decent proposal for Republicans. !den~ ts ho:>Pttahzed m Iowa following a hunting accident m M1ssoun. ~Is s•ster, Opal Wigal, his brother, Charles, and other relallves still live in the local area. ~s may, be sent to Iowa City UniversitY Hospital, Attenllon Pattent: Richard A.

In the photo, T'fanny is lying on her side, her head resting on one arm , which is languidly stretched out above her.

Her lips are pursed, her eyes are dreamy, her index finger i' curled in the "come here, big boy'' motion.

Joe's right, our senior photographs were embarrassing . I've seen better passpon photos. It's hard to believe we actually had to pay someone to make us look that bad. Instead of asking who was the best photographer in town, our school principal asked who was the cheapest. The only way the photographer could have made us look more dated was if he had made us wear raccoon coats and wave school pennants. The good news is that we were not alone. Every school across the country seems to have hired the same photographer. There is an ad on the Internet using • yearbook photos to get people to look up lost classmates. Every time l see it, l swear they are using pictures out of my very own yearbook. The haircuts, the clothes, the glasses all look the same. And yet the pic~ . tures come from another school, halfway across the country, , , And someday T'fanny will be as ·embarrassed by her yearbook photograph as I am of mine. One day, one · of T'fanny's children will find her yearbook in the bottom of a closet and say, "Stepmom. is that really you? You mean you had to wear clothes to school back then?

' .~· PageA4 EPA, DuPo~t ·aga·ee to ·Iowe~ C8level in · · · g water IIY..wlfUUS ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER CHARLESTON, W.Va. DuPont Co. agreed Tuesday to a tougher, tempru:ary standard fOt a chemIcal used to make Teflon and said it would test more drinking-water supplies for contamination near its Washington Works plant along the Ohio River. If levels for ammonium perfluomoctaonate, also known as C8 or PFOA, exceed the new thresholdnow 300 times stricter DuPont would be required to filter the water or provide . residents with an alternative supply, accoroing to a consent agreement between the. company and the U.S. Envtronmental Protection Agency: The agreement replaces one signed in March 2002 that required DuPont to take similar actions if CS levels exceeded 150 parts per billion. The new agreement· cuts the level to 050 ppb. EPA . Region .3 Administrator Don Welsh said the new standard was motivated, in part, by preliminary results of a health screening that showed Ohio .and West Virginia residents living near the plant, which is near Parkersburg, have 25 . times more of the chemical in their blood than the average population. The stricter standard will reduce exposure while EPA continues studies on whether the unregulated chemical is hazardous to. human health. Studies indicate the chemical can cause developmen(lll problems in animals, Welsh said. C8 is used to produce the nonstick substance Teflon and a variety of other products, from flooring to clothing. Though used since World War U, its long-terril health impact on humans is unknown. DuPont has long maintained there · are no harmful effects. DuPont is l?aying for the health screenmg of 70,000 residents as part of a 2004 settlement o( a class-action lawsuit by residents of six Ohio and West Vit¥inia water districts who clatmed C8 contaminated their wa'ier supplies. Attorney Harry Deitzler, who represented the residents, said the latest agreement vindicates their concerns but would have ''zero impact fOt DuPont because it's what they are already doing." Under the court-approved settlement, DuPont agreed to install carbon filtration systems in the six water districts, three of which have been ·installed at .trearment plants in Ohio. Work has yet to start at treatment plants in Lubeck and Mason County in .West Virginia, or at the Little Hocking Water Association in Ohio. Little Hocking customers, who have the highest concentrations of C8, are receiving bottled' water from DuPont. Company spokesman David Boothe said the new agreement requires DuPont to survey additional areas near the plant to determine C8 levels. The surveys will not include · Parkersburg's water supply, where a separate lawsuit alleging contamination has been filed in Wood County Circuit Coun. Boothe said EPA will tell DuPont where to conduct the surveys, but he anticipates the targeting of private wells in Little Hocking and Belpre, Ohio. An EPA spokeswoman said the 2002 agreement targeted water districts within a 2-mile radius of the Washington Works. plant. The new agreement will look farther. DuPont officials have said ' they will continue to use C8 in manufacturing, thou~h the company has cut emts· sions at Washington Works · and other U.S. plants by 97 percent since 2000. EPA's Welsh said DuPont and other companies that use the chemical · have agreed to cut emissions by 93 percent in 20 I 0 and stop using C8 by 2015. l· Ohio workers comp brokers found not gul.lty 8v JOE MIUCIA lion to $3 billion for the bureau, 0' Neil said. O'Neil, whose clients include U.S. Sen. George Voinovich, said he felt SOtry for Gasper. "The sympathy I feel for him has nothing to do with his guilt - why would you do that to two friends," O'Neil asked. Lewis added, "I have no resentment I will pray for him. Period." O'Neil, who along with Lewis was suspended from their brokerage ftrm, said all of his clients stuck with him and he was looking fOtWard to returning to his work. . U.S. Attorney Gregory White said by telephone from Cleveland that the investigation would continue and he expected additional charges. "I've been in this business a long time and I don't second-guess jury verdicts. All we can do is pick up anoth ~ er file and continue on in this investigation," he said. Asked if Gasper would lack credibility as a future prosecution witness, White said, "We will evaluate what · further cooperation we can expect from Mr. Gasper." Gasper pleaded guilty in June to federal and state charges that he accepted bribes in exchange for doling out agency business . He testified against O'Neil and Lewis. The brokers managed stock investments f()r the $15 billion fund for injured workers while working at fimts that received hundreds of thousands of dollars in commissions from the agency. They were the eighth and ninth people charged in a yearlong political scandal in Ohio that has led to ethics charges against Gov. Bob Taft, who pleaded no contest to failing to report gifts. Lewis and 0' Neil also were found not guilty on charges accusing of committing mail and wire fraud to conceal their relationship with Gasper and of lying to a federal agent about Gasper's involvement with the condo. · Prosecutors accused them of taking over payments on a luxury condo in Florida for Gasper and his then girlfriend, then trying to make it look as if Gasper paid rent when he did not. In exchange, O'Neil and Lewis got favorable treatment from Gasper regarding workers' comp investment business. the prosecutors alleged. Lewis and·O'Neil worked at several companies, including Roney & Co., a Cleveland-area firm that in 1997 was the subject of an internal bureau investigation over allegations it was receiving a disproportionately high share of workers' comp business. & Raymond James Associates earned more viding industries were offset by losses in construction."

Ferris, lJaker Watts didn't have previous work with the bureau until Lewis and O'Neiljoined it in 2000. The firm subsequently received $525,000 in bureau business. The scandal began with rare-coin dealer Tom Noe, who is accused of funneling $25,000 to Gasper as a bribe in return for state business. Besides Taft, Gasper and Noe, four aides to the governor also have been charged. Noe, a prominent GOP contributor, pleaded guilty May 31 to funneling about $45,000 to President Bush's re-election campaign. He also has been found guilty of what prosecutors said was the theft of $13.7 million from a $50 million investment in rare coins that he handled for the workers' comp bureau. He has been sentenced to a combined 20 years in prison on both sets of charges. Gasper could be sentenced to up to 20 years in prison but is likely to get far less in exchange for testifying against others involved in the scandal.

GHATTAS ASSOC!4TED PRESS WRITERS • BEIRUT, Lebanon Pierre Gemayel. scion of Lebanon's most prominent Christian family and a lead· ing opponent of Syria. was gunned down Tuesday in a brazen davti me hit. The assas,ination threatened to intensify Lebanon's power struggle ~tween the U.S.aUied government and the Syrian-backed Hezbollah. Geti1ayel, 34, was leaving church when he fell into a · well -coordinated attack: One vehicle cut off his car from the front, another rammed him from behind, then gunmen burst out and sprayed a dozen bullets,into his pa,senger-side window. The killing sent tensions spiraling at a time when Lebanon was already facing a worsening political crisis. The Shiite Muslim guerrilla group Hezbollah and its proSyrian allies have threatened massive protests -. as early as Thursday - aimed at Prime bringing i:Jown Minister Fuad Saniora's government unless it gives them greater power. · President Bush condemned the assassination and accused Syria and Iran of seeking to undermine Saniora's government. Bush stopped short of specifically blaming them for Gemayel's death, though the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, John ,R. Bolton, raised the possibility. Anti-Syrian politicians in Lebanon, !Jowever, directly pointed the finger at Damascus, . and some Gemayel supporters · demanded revenge against Syria's Lebanese allies.

But Lebanese hOOps quickly stopped the unrest and set up checkpoints to prevent demonstrations in the coming days. A funeral was set for Thursday in downtown Beirut. with the anti-Syrian factions calling for mass participation. Politicians from all sides scrambled to contain the fallout of the assassination, urging calm amid fears of an outbreak of the brutal violence between Lebanon's sharply divided communities that marked the 1975-90 civil war. A stunned-looking former president Amin Gemayel - Pierre's father and lt-ader of the Phalange Pany - urged his supponers to observe a night of "prayer and reflection." "We don't want an outburst of emotions and revenge," he said outside the hospital where his son died, "He was martyred for the cause of Lebanon. and we want this cause to triumph .... To all those who love Pierre, we should not be driven by instinct." Bush called the slaying "the vicious face of those who oppose freedom" and vowed support for Saniora 's government.

He wasn't sbrry for anything he did during it. Jpnes, who was ejected for the first time in his career in Cleveland's previous game, made three 3pointers in the fourth quarter and two free throws in the final seconds, helping the Cavaliers hold off the Memphis Grizzlies 97-94 on Tuesday night. Drew Gooden scored a . season-high 22 points with IS .rebounds and LeBron James kicked in- 15 points and nine assjsts for the Cavs, who nearly blew a 20-point lead in the second half befifte making big shots and big plays down the stretch to improve the Eastern Conference's best record to 8-3. On Saturday, Jones was tossed from Cleveland's loss in Washington for arguing with- officials. He felt bad enough about it that he spent several minutes . explaining his uncharacteristic actions. Then he went out did something he usually does. "I had some great looks," said Jones, who finished with 21 points. "But I don't think this makes up for my early exit." Jones, averaging 15.6 poims in his last five games, scored II of Cleveland's 17 points in the fourth quarter. "Damon was huge," Cleveland coach Mike Brown said. "Damon really bailed us out offensively. I knew it wasn't going to be an issue with him bouncing back after the game in Washington. We were all · frustrated." • The Grizzlies, who trailed by 14 entering the fourtb, twice got within one point in the final seconds - both times on layups by Mike Miller.

"We had DO timeOUtS, SO we had- to go on the fly," coach Mike Fratello said. "We got a look at the basket with the right guy. He had a look but it was short. But it was right on line." Chucky Atkins had 17 to lead the Griz~lies. But it was Miller's 15 points and Cardinal who brought them back. Memphis outscored Cleveland 28-17 in the final period but ·never took the lead. Gooden went 9-of-12 from the field in 30 minutes against the team that selected him with the No. 4 overall pick in 2002 and traded him after just 51 games. If not for ·Gooden's intensity and rebounding, . the Cavaliers,. who have had a tendency to play up or down to their competition this season, would have been in trouble. ·"I just think Jerry West was watching somewhere," Gooden said, referring to Memphis' president of basketball operations, who dealt him to Orlando ·as a rookie. "The Grizzlies and Orlando, yeah, I like them a lot." Despite playing their second game in two nights, the Grizzlies were the ones with all the energy in· the second half. Trailing 80-66 after three, they outscored the Cavaliers 12-0 to open the fourth and were within two on a layup by Dahntay Jones with 7:06 remaining. But Damon Jones dra1ned a 3-pointer with 6:33 left, another three minutes later, and his third with 2: 13 left .to give the Cavaliers a 9184 lead. The Grizzlies, though, kept clawing.

Mansell notes that compromises are usually reached, however, and if there is a dispute, it's unusual for it to last beyond one year.

Morneau is the fourth Minnesota player to win an MVP, following Zoilo Versalles (1965 ), Harmon Killebrew (1969) and Rod Carew ( 1977). Killebrew attended Morneau's news conference. "I don 't have any dQubt in my mind he's going to come back and have a good year," Killebrew said. Morneau became · the second Canadian-born player to win an MVP following Colorado's Larry Walker in 1997. He is the third Canadian-born athlete to win an MVP in a major pro league this year, follow1ng Phoenix Suns guard Steve Nash and San Jose Sharks center Joe Thornton. Walker phoned Morneau as the first baseman was arriving at the Metrodome. "He just wanted to call 'Congrats,"' and say, Morneau said. "He said he thought he was more excited than I was. He said, 'Just wait, it's going to be .crazy.'" Walker, a coach for Canada at the World Baseball Classic, · auto~raphed a bat for Morneau m March. "To Justin, make Canada proud,'' Walker wrote. "I thought that was pret- • ty cool," Morneau said. Earning just $385,000 in his third season as a regular, Morneau proved a bargain. Philadelphia's Ryan Howard , voted NL MVP on Monday, made $3.55,000. . Morneau is eligible for salary arbitration this winter. Howard is not. "He's going to be rewarded. There's no doubt," said Twins general manager Terry Ryan, who sat next to Morneau at the news conference. Ortiz earned a $1 00,000 bonus - for finishing third. Thomas.. who left the Athletics last week to sign with Toronto, received a $100,000 bonus for placing fourth.
