Transportation (ODOT) announced yesterday construction on the Nelsonville Bypass Phase 2 and 3 has been delayed though Phase I is expected to sell on schedule. "The good news is they're going forward with phase one and the project will be bil.ilt, the bad news is the delay but we'll contin1,1e working with Athens County to try and move the . said project forward," Meigs County Economic Development Director Perry Varnadoe. ODOT said the construction schedule was moved back to help offset the effect of "soaring fuel and material prices on a statewide scale.'' The decision about the delay was made by the Transportation Review Advisory Council (TRAC), the state panel that distributes funding for major new capacity-adding transportation projects across Ohio . The determination was based upon funding availability and statewide priority. According to ODOT. over the past four years it has seen a 43 percent innease in construction costs that include materials such as steel, concrete and asphalts with these numbers jumping 12 percent in 2006 alone. "This unexpected cost increase has created a gap in immediately available statew ide funding." said Acting Di strict I0 Deputy Director T. Steve Williams, P.E . "The TRAC has opted to defer some projects, rather than cut them in an effort · to rebalance its statewide construction . program while continuing to address key salety and congestion ,issues." In addition to the . Nelsonville Bypass, portions of the Cleveland lnnerbelt project and the 175 project to Cincinnati have also been pushed back, According to .

U.S. envoy says no sign of breakthrough . •' sunday, Dec. 24 ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER BEIJING (AP) - The U.S. envoy .to talks on dismantling North Korea's nuclear weapons program said Friday that there were no signs of a breakthrough and accused the communist state of not being serious about the negoiiations. Asked if there were any indications qf a breakthrough ahead of the last day of talks Friday, U.S. Assistant Secretary ·of State Christopher Hill said, "No, I am not aware of any." , After four days of negotiations in the wake of North Korea's Oct. 9 nuclear test, the North has refused to get into substantive discussions on its atomic · weapons, envoys said. Instead, the North has complained about the U.S. blacklisting a Macau bank, where the regime allegedly laundered money to help fund its weapons programs. "When the DPRK raises problems, one day it's financial issues, another day it's somethi ng they want but they know they can't have, another day it's ·something we said about them that hurt their feelings," Hill said. DPRK stands for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the North', official name. . "What they need to do is to get serious about the issue that made them such a problem ... their nuclear activities," he 'aid. Japane>e envoy Kenichiro . Sa>ae delivered a simi Jar as'e"ment late Thursday. "The 'iluation remains severe and there i' no prospect for a breakthrough ." he said. '·NortH Korea's claims and its position on financial issues t • are very form and inflexible and that is the biggest cause of the difficulty." Sasae said Friday that delegates at the closing meeting would would consider dropping the current formal' mvolving six countries. "There will be opinions . questioning the credibility of the six-party talks," Sasae said, without elaborating. He did not say what alternative formats would be proposed, if any. · In comments Thursday, Hill said the financial restrictions were. a defense against weapons proliferation, warning Pyongyang would find itself further economically isolated if it doesn't disarm. He said that the North Korean delegation had apparently been instructed to resolve the financial issue before talking about nuclear weapons. While insisting the financial restrictions were separate from the six-nation arms talks, he acknowledged ·they were a means to defend against nuclear proliferation. "We need to protect ourselves in a variety of ditTercnt ways and we need to make sure that the international financial system is not easily available to countries that are involved in nuclear weapons programs," Hill said Thursday evening. "There's one thing lhao anyone involved in denuclearization can predict, thai as long as (the North Koreans) stay in this nuclear bu;iness, they're going to have more and more and more financial problem;," he said. In Wa>hington. Secretary of State Condoleeua Rice >aid 'North Kore<l had g i veo~ the United States no reason to believe it is serious about dismantling its nuclear weapons. "That's what we're . testing" in the disarmament talks, she said in an Associated Press interview Thursday. American and North Korean experts consulted on the financial restrictions for two days this week in Beijing separately 'from the nuclear talks, but made no breakthroughs and were possibly meeting again next month in New York. · Hill noted he had traveled five times to Beiji,Jg since the nuclear test to lay the groundwork for this week's nego.tiations, which he has said should focus .on implementing a September 2005 disarmament pled~e by North Korea. · · . "I would like to see them engage a little more in what we are talking about," he said of the North Koreans. "We· ve done a lot of work in the last few weeks and we'd like to see the (North Korean ) delegation match that amount of work and show they· re looking at the proposals ...

' Web site, Dobson said most social scientific research concludes that children do best when raised by a married mother and father. "In raising these issues, Focus on the Family does not desire to harm or in.sult women such as Cheney and Poe," Dobson wrote. "Rather, our conviction is that birth and adoption are the purview of married heterosexual couples. Traditional marriage is God's design for the family and is rooted in biblical truth." Gay rights advocates have condemned Dobson's views. In an opposing op- · ed article Time published, Jennifer Chrisler, executive director of the advocacy group Family Pride, said Dobson's claims about research on gay parenting are "lies and distortions." She said gay families have successfully provided nurturing, healthy environments for children. Ohio high school, beginning with the class of 20 14. Q What are the courses? A Students· must pass four ·classes in·English and math, including advanced algebra; three years of science, including biology and advanced study in physics, chemistry, geology or other fields; six classes of elective courses among such subjects as foreign language, fine arts, business ahd agriculture. . Q What are current curriculum requirements? A Four years of English are required, but only three years of math. Three years of science are currently required, but beginning with the class of 2014 the courses will be lab-based instead of being based on textbook study. To make room for the extra math credit, one less elective course will be required. Q Must .all students take these classes? A No. Parents can choose a traditional high school curriculum for their children, but if they plan to attend a state-supported university, those students would have to take advanced . classes at a twoyear college before admission. Also, students attending school under a dropout prevention and recovery program with a waiver from the Ohio Department of .Education would be exempt. Q What will these new classes accomplish? A Backers hope the tougher standards and college admission standards will feed more employable graduates into Ohio businesses and provide alternatives to the slate's manufacturing-based economy.

Paul Zahl to feel that old, familiar tug at his heart· strings. Then Cilme the voices in his head . asking those nagging . questions' that many weary Episcopalians have pondered in recent decades: "Why keep fig~ting ? Why not join the Roman Catholic Church?" Every now and then, Zahl feels another urge to "swim the Tiber. " This is somewhat problematic because he is dean of the Trinity ~chool for Ministry in Ambridge, Pa., a post that makes him a leader among Evangelicals in the embattled Episcopal Church and a strategic voice in the broadly Protestant, low-church wing of the global Anglican Communion. "I could become a Roman Catholic in a heartbeat," said Zahl. "But the minute I say that, I stop and think aboul it and I know all the reasons that I am an Evangelical and . why mx spiritual home is in Anglicanism. ... But that doesn't mean that I don't understand why so many people - people I love and respect - have fled to Rome and why many more will follow them." Many Episcopalians, stressed Zahl, ·are seeking what he called a "truly Terry Mattingly objective form of church life" that pr,ovides authoritati ve answers to the moral and doctrinal questions that have - for at least a quarter century - caused bitter conflict and declining statistics in the American branch .of Anglicanism. Their complaints run much deeper than mere discontent over the 2003 consecration of a noncelibate homosexual as the Episcopal bishop in New Hampshire. But if they want that kind of church structure they are going to have to join that kind of church, he sa.id. The Anglican approach, built on a unique blend of compromises between Protestantism and Catholic·ism, will never be enough. "Anglicanism can only give you an ersatz form of that kind of church," said Zahl, a Harvard man whose graduate work took him to England and Gennany. "If you want the kind of authority that comes with Roman Catholicism then you should run, not walk, to enter the Church of Rome. ... That's where you have to go to find it. You either become a Catholic or you simply stop asking the big questions about ecclesiastical structure. "You move on." This will be a painful step for some Episcopalians to take, in an age when newspapers are full of reports about legal and theological cracks in the foundations of the mother Church of. England ·and its bickering relatives around the world. The big news on this side of the Atlantic Ocean is that eight congregations in Northern Virginia including two of America's most historic parishes have voted to leave the Episcopal Church to join a new missionary effort tied to the conservative, rapidly growing Anglican Church of Nigeria. Meanwhile, Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams faces a revolt in his own back yard, with Evangelical leaders saying they will revolt if he does not allow them to answer to conservative bishops, rather than to liberals. And then there was that Sunday Times report claiming that Pope Benedict XVI has asked officials in hi s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith to research ways to reach out. .to disaffe0ted Anglicans. The temptation, according to Zahl, is for Episcop~lians caught in these conflicts fo assume there is "sonie church body out there, som.e supervising entity or person, which, when yve find \\ •. will be seen defimtely to '!f 'The One. ' The question af 'Whither?' is based on ~ idea that there is, at thi.s point in time, a verifiable protecting safe place." · Instead, those committed to Anglicanism must embrace another image of the Christian life found in scripture, argued Zahl, in a missive to supporters of hfs seminary. While it will be hard, they should see thent- . selves as the "wanderin~ people of God" whq m~st spend a long time m th.e wilderness as they "seek the city which is to come." It will be hard to find clarity and unity during th~ years ahead, he said. "I hold out exactly no hope of a safe haven. in the Church of England," said Zahl. "If you have any hope of finding safe answers for the big questions of church identity withil) Anglicanism, then you are going to need to be patient because that is not going to happen anytime soon." , (Terry Mattingly is diret;tor of the Washington Journalism Center at the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities and leads the GetReligion.org project to study religion and the 11ews.) lUP{'RE REAL1.Y Gl;tTINGClJ M'lNEWES! ~ N9/115 ~ IRAN HAS SECICET TRANS FAT WEAPONS PROGRAM IFPB;- '. e PbituarieS . ·, Ralph 'dlompson f.Aw You CAN USE :.Law protects consumers who ' · buy and receive gift cards ' • Consumers have been Q.: Does the law apply 'buying gift cards at to a gift card I might buy astounding rates; in 2005, or receive through an ·consumers spent more than online source or from a ·$1.8 billion on gift cards. retailer in another state?

On the one hand, the tree represents all those who are "poor in spirit" who, through faith in Jesus, may inherit the kingdom of . God (see Matthew 5:3). The lowly of heart (whether or not they are materially well off) are the ~ery ones who S.C. district's policy ruled unconstitutional Pastor Thorn Mollohan are open enough for God to bless them. They are the ones who can most easily see that there really isn't any hope or life wit~ out. G~d ~nd instead of feanng reJeCtion at the hands of their Creator, they will find tenderness, compassion and understanding. "A bruised reed He (Jesus) will not break, and a smoldering wick He will not snuff out" (Isaiah 42:3a NIV). The lowly of heart with whom we come into contact while we walk through our daily routines? While WE may not have enough time for them, God notes their need, their hurt, and their emptiness. But Charlie Brown 's little tree wasn't perhaps really a picture of us although we are small, forlorn and barren before coming to faith in Jesus Christ. Maybe it's really a picture of . Christ Himself, having taken on physical smallness in the form of a tiny baby in the mortal world, forlorn in finding that not even the local inn (not to mention the hearts of humanity) had room for Him, and was as barren as anything can be when wrapped up in rags and laid in a farm animal's feedbox. "Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? He grew up before Him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to Him, nothing in His appearance that we should desire Him" (Isaiah 53 : l-2 NIV) . Of course, much of the point in the little Christmas cartoon is tied up with Charlie Brown's need for the tree, not the tree's need for Charlie Brown. Charlie Brown · is the one who . is bereft of purpose. emptied of a sense of his own personal ·value, and filled with questions that no one can answer until Linus wisely recites the Biblical account of Jesus' birth from Luke 2:1-14. ' "And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed. (And this 2006 taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was • of the house and lineage of David:) To be taxed with Mary his . espoused wife, being great with Ch~ld. ~nd so it was, that, whtle they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling clothes, and laid Him in a manger; because there was no roo.m for them in the inn. And there were in the same country shepherds apiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came · upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; ye shall find the Babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men'" (Luke 2:1-14 KJV). So what is the moral of the story in "A Charlie Brown ChristrnasT' Merely that unlike the aluminum trees of Charlie Brown's tree lot, the love of God is real and alive and that it reaches to the humble of heart. May your Christmas be focused on the only One Who· can give it meaning .. Jesus. "The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have , seen His glory, the glory of the One and Only, Who came from the Father, full of grace and truth" (John I: 14 NIV).

Germany in some rarefied company; German carmaker BMW sells · a 2007 BMW M5, for example, that's a mid-size sedan with a 500-horsepower, V- 10 engine.

As you can expect, all these models carry big price tags, can be thought of as low-volume exotics - even though they're sedans that look a lot like their more regular siblings - and have an admiring following among auto enthusiasts . .. Starting price for the 2007 RS 4, including manufacturer's suggested retail price, destination charge and a federally required gas guzzler tax of $2,100, is $68,820. This is nearly $40.000 more than a base, 2007 Audi A4 sedan with turbocharged, four-cy1inder eng ine.

Oddly, though, the car's steering wheel tilts and telescopes manually, and a buyer must opt for a $4,700 premium package to get automatic-dimming rearview mirror, satellite radio and garage and gate door opener, among other things. There's also no automatic transmission. Only a six-speed manual is in the RS 4. This contrasts with Mercedes' C55 AMG, which came only with a five-speed automatic. The test RS 4 got plenty of attention, in part because of . the bright yellow paint. Peopl!! also noticed that this version of Audi A4 has an aggressive grille, 19-inch wheels and an expressive lower body kit that makes the car look like it's hugging the ground. Car buffs young and old took it all in, with hotel valets parking the RS 4 in an honored spot right outside the door. It's the kind of parking place usually reserved for Ferraris and Lamborghinis. . I loved the way the RS 4 power came on in a smooth thrust, pushing me into the seatback. The RS 4 engme uses Audi's race technology of FSI direct injection of the gasoline .into the engine co.mbustion chamber, so the resulting power from the fuel and air reaction is efficiently maximized. • · The eager response from the RS 4's 4.2liter V-8 is palpable, not just at startup and in low gears, but also at highway speeds. Indeed, I often found I didn't need · to downshift on hilly country roads to maintain speed or even zip forward. It seemed as if there was always power waiting in reserve. Maximum torque is 317 foot-pounds at 5,500 rpm, and Audi reports 90 percent of this maximum power can be tapped from 2,500 rpm to as high as 7,600 rpm. Yes, this is a high-re vving engine. Redline , or top engine speed, is 8,250 rpm. In·a V-8, this is more akin to a race car than a street car. The clutch pedal took some effort, but the gear shifter moved easily from gear to gear. I had to remember, though, to use sixth gear. The car just vaulted so quickly to high speeds, I didn't really need the sixth gear, save for fuel economy. Speaking of which, the RS 4 's government fuel economy rating is nearly the worst of all 2007 Audis at 14 miles a gallon in ihe city and .21 mpg on the highway. The test car got just over 14 miles a gallon, although two-thirds of my miles were on . the .highway, so filling the 16.6-gallon tank became · a regular chore. It was e~pensive, too, since the RS 4 requires premium fuel. But oh, I enjoyed the deep engine sounds which encouraged spirited-driving. The RS 4 gives the sensation that it's rearwheel drive rather than all-wheel drive. This is because the quattro system is programmed for 60 percent of the engine power to gu to the rear wheels in regular driving. The ride is noticeably stiff, and riders feel harsh l)umps on unbroken pavement and potholes. The tires are low-profile, high-performance rubber, so they convey road noise · and don't absorb road shocks. But I didn't feel fatigued in the·RS 4:even after five non-stop hours of driving. Steering was quick to respond in the test car, the vehicle always felt well-controlled, and front bucket seats were nicely supportive. They're bolstered and sporty, too, so be care'ful with the sizable side bolsters. They can be a bit painful to slide over. . Like the Audi A4 on which it is based, the RS 4 rear seat is tight for three adults. It's much better for two adults back there, though the sizable front seats sti II can block forward views.

Brett Favre pulled out a farfrom-perfect victory in perhaps his last game at Lambeau Field. rallying the Green Bay Packers to a late field goal a old a 9-7 win over the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday night. Packers kicker Dave Rayner, who had mi~sed two field goals earlier in the game, hit a 44-yarder with I :34 remaining. It was the 36th game-winning comeback of Favre's career, and it came after Favre nearly threw the game away. The Packers (7 -8) kept their faint playoff hopes alive. The Vikings (6-9) managed only three, first downs all game, the lowest total in a game in team history. Cornerback Fred Smoot returned Favre's pass 4'7 yards for a touchdown late 10 the third quarter, seemingly bailing out the Vikings' struggling offense and giving. Minnesota a 7-6 lead. After ·throwing the interception to Smoot, Favre threw .another interception . to former teammate Darren Sharper on the Packers' next offensive play. Favre then rallied 'the Packers for a potential goahead drive early in the fourth, but tight end Bubba Franks fumbled near the goal line - the third time in the game the Packers drove deep into Vikings territory but came away empty-handed. · . Favre drove the Packers right back into Vikings territory in the final three minutes with a 36-yard pass to wide receiver Ruvell ·Martin. The drive stalled on Packers penalties on backto-hack plays before Rayner di:hvered the winning kick. Favre held the ball aloft But Hawk dropped the ball. Still. the Vikings took the lead on Smoot 's touchdown 'with 5:10 remaining in the third quarter and it seemy¢ like Green Bay might make enough mistakes to lose. ··' .Favre looked down tile left sideline for . rooki.e receiver Greg Jennings, but threw the ball directly inlo . Smoot's hands as Jennings .continued running do~n the field. It was the fi-rst career interception return for a touchdown for Smoot, who tried to celebrate - ~Y doing a "Lambeau Leaf( into the stands. He was pushed back onto the field by fans. On the Packers' nel(t offensive play, Favre bad)y overthrew Jennings on ···a deep route and Sharper waited for the ball to float into his hands for the inter.ception. Favre rallied the Packers midway through the fourth quarter with .help from ·.11 roughing the passer penaltY on linebacker Napoleo_n Harris. Facing third-and.;,'7 at the Vikings 9, Favre dumped the ball off 'to Franks, who ran toward 10 goal line and stretched out for the touchdown but fumbled the ball .

The Daily Sentinel . ' 992·2155 · South West North East ' Pass Pass Pass 3• 4• Pass PasH Pass Pass Jean Nidetch, who started what is now ~ nown as Weight Walc~ers International, said, ~It's choice - not chance - that determines your destiny." That is sometimes true · at' the bridge table, although not often . In this deal, success · depends more on skill than chance. You reach six spades. West leadS the heart king. There are poten1ial problems in each black suit. 11 the club finesse is working, you can afford one spade loser. How would you play the spades in that situation? If the club finesse is failing, yOu will have to play spades without loss. Wh~t would you do then ? Over North's game-invitational limit ra1se of th ree spades, South dabbled his toe in th~ slam water by control-bidding (cue-bidding) tour clubs to show that ace. When North announced slam inter· est and the diamond ace, South took a stab at six. Since you do not know how to atta·ck spades. you should take the club finesse at trick two - determine your pestiny there. If the fi nesse loses, you will ruff West's heart-queen continuation and cash the spade ace, hoping to find a singleton king somewhere. (That iS twice as good as crossing to dummy with a diamond and leading lhe spade queen, trying to pin a singleton jack in the West hand.) But when the club finesse wins, you can take a satety·play in spades: Either lead low toward dummy's queen, or (bet1er, because you might collect an overtrick) play a diam ond to dummy's ace and call for ,a low spade, .covering East's card ~s cheaply as possible (or going up with the ace if East discards).
