There was no report of any differences in sickness. but the researchers s<ty calves that eat more during the tirst days after weaning stay healthier.

Hand-wringing over the same issue· was rife during Harriet Miers' short-lived nomination to the court. Now abortion again is central to the debate over Samuel Alita, the latest nominee for the high coun. For all the imponant legal issues facing the nation. somehow abortion and the Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling always seem to elbow to the forefront of the debate over modem ju<.licial nominations, just as in the 1950s the coun's Brown v. Board of Education desegregation ruling retlected the most imponant social issue on the American landscape. "It's always going to be one question in the front and center," Rep. Linda Sanchez. DCalif., said recently from the steps of the Supreme Court. The same thought echoes from the right end of the political spectrum. Also, polls lin<.! that people believe no single issue before the court has greater importance. The reasons are both simple and complex. Abortion is directly and intensely relev;mt in the lives of a huge swath of the population. One-third of U.S. women will have had an ab011ion by age 45, based on current abortion rates, according to the Alan Guttmacher Institute, a nonprofit group that researches . reproductive health issues. "Abortion, for better or wor,;e, is more common in this country than many people realize or wish were lnte," said Susan Cohen. the institute's director of government afli1irs. Beyond that, abortion to many people is the pre-eminent moral issue of the times - a matter of life and death. It also becomes a touchstone for • 1. broader questions about govemment intrusion into people's lives, judicial restraint and a host of S<)cial issues, almost a proxy for liberalism or censervatism in general. '·It's fraught with all Sorts of social meaning," said pollster Andrew Kohut, director of the Pew Research ·Center. "In the modem era. it's the issue that has most divided liberals and conservatives." Politicians and interest groups help to stir the pot, tapping into people's l""sions and fears about the issue to mobilize voters and collect their dollars.

At least, that's the agreed-upon narrative. It's Our Story, the subtext, the thread to which we cling. The problem driving "youths" to incinerate lines of parked buses or immolate the occasional grand-mere on crutches is French racism, institutional neglect, failure to integrate. It's also snobbery, and don ' t forget George W. Bush. ~ut not Islam. Not anything to do wtth Islam and 1\S nonassimilable legions in the heart Europe. . Th~t s the word from mtelhgentsm all over. Even before the riot's last fires have been kindled, let alone cooled, The Washmgton Post editorial page, for example, said no, it insisted: "Islamic ideology and leaders have played no part in the disturbances and many of those who are participating are not Muslim.'' Writing in The New York Times , Olivier Roy ruled Islam out with equally cate- Diana West gorical and doctrinal confidence. How do they know? Yes. the thugs we see depicted through the smoke of burning civilization aren't dressed for the part by Central Casting- either in the beards and robes of the mosque, or the mask and scimitar of the jihad.

They are, we hear tell, unemployed tough s and secular criminals devoted not to Allah so m~ch as to what you might call , loosely and very grimly, French "culture" - French pop culture, · that is. Writing in the Weekly Standard, Olivier Guilla offers a shocking look at one expression of that culturerap music as we in the United States have never qutte heard it, even at tts "cop-killing" worst. As Mr. Guma ~xplains, some of the most successful band s in France are made up "mostly of French citizens of Arab or v or African descent" -like our pals in the French projects, or "cites." But where socalled gangsta rap , American styl e, glorifies senseless violence and sexual bestiality, Muslim rap , French style, fuses that same violence and sex uality to attack the State. Mr. Guitta has translated some chorce · examples. There is the rap band Sniper (nice), which, not inctdentally, was un successfull y sued in 2004 by Mr. Sarkozy for violence and incttement in th e song "La France." Sniper sings: "We' re all hot for a mi ssion to exterminate the government and the fasciSt~. . . France is a b~ and we've been betrayed ...

Well , of course. things did. But not, our. e lites instruct us, becau se of Islamic attitudes toward a non-Islamic country, but because of establishment attitudes toward a downtrodden minority.

As students entered the gymnasium, the pictures of family members who served or currently serve in the military flashed across a screen. The Southern High School lobby was decorated with hundreds of pictures of past local veterans who served from Meigs County. . Some were brou~ht by students of their relatl ves, others were provided by Post 602. The Racine Post under the command of retired Command Sgt. Major George (Gene) Lawrence presented the flags as the Southern High School band under the direction of Chad Dodson played the ceremonial march and then the National Anthem. That was followed by the Pledge of allegiance Jed by student council presi, dent, Tiffany McDaniel. Scott Wolfe, Southern teacher, coordinated the eveot and in opening remarks had the veterans in attendance stand for a round of applause in recognition of their military service. "We here at Southern want you to know that your accomplishments, your achievements, and your demonstrated courage so inspired us as a nation that this great country, still stands as the greatest.free country in the world," said Wolfe.

The Department · of Taxation originally estimated up to 400 ,000 bu sinesses would have to register by Tuesday and pay a small fee , which will be returned after their first filings.

Fire bums.in Ohio's largest state forest BUENA VISTA (AP) Authorities were trylng to extinguish ·a fire Sunday in the largest of Ohio's 20 state forest,. The fire at Shawnee State Forest, a 63,000-acre park near the banks of the Ohio River in southern Ohio, began about I :30 p.m. Saturday and covered about I00 acres, said J. B. Berry, Nile Township assistant lire chief. The blaze grew to about 400 acres winds whipped through t)le area Sunday morning. Union Township Fire Chief Brian Howell said. Howell said no buildings had been affected and 'the fire departments working on the blaze were "pretty well getting it contained." The cause of the fire had not been determined. No injuries had been reported, the Scioto County sheriff's office said. a' Despite Tuesday 's deadline, the state is still getting calls from people who say they've only j ust learned of the requirement, said Gary Gudmundson, a spokesman for the Taxation Department. "It's probably a combination of folks who have not gotten the word for whatever reaso n, and those who are putting it off fo r the last moment, as is the tendency for many of us.'' he said . . The two-year budget that Gov. Bob Taft signed in June made hi stori c .changes to Ohio's tax code, upd ating a Depression-era system foc using on goods and broadened it to encompass more of the state's servicebased economy. Lawmakers are slowly phasing out the corporate franchise tax, criticized as a ~·s wi ss cheese" tax because · its high rate of 8.5 percent was offset by numerou s loopholes. They replaced it with a corporate activity tax or CAT, with a low rate of 0. 26 percent spread across more types of bu sinesses, such as acco untants and attorneys . Companies can re gister for this new tax either as an independent bu siness usually mom-and-pop sin- gle-owner stores · or selfemployed workers . like plumbers - o·r. as companies with several divi sions. For the latter group, there are two categories . which affect how much tax will l)e paid , depending on everything from how many sales are made between entities within the firm to how many out-of-state divisions a bu siness has. Much of th'e information regarding this choice has come out more recently, so accountants are taking their time as they co.unsel clients, said Amy Mignogna , director of governmental affairs for the Ohio Association of Certified Public Accountants. "It' s one thing to say, 'Yes, we knew about the deadline, ' but another to say, ' We had all the. information we needed to make an educated choice for our client,"' she said. Engel said low regi st'ration rates could affect state estimates for how much money can be spent under the current two-year budget. Gudmundson said th e department isn't worrying . about th at problem . for now, fo cusing instead on ·getting as many companies to register as soon as possible.

Most of the 80 pages are aimed at experts, but there is .a 12·page section called Bridgeworks tllat is tor improving players. In lhis deal from Bridgeworks, you land in siK hearts. West leads the spade king, then plays a low spade to his partner's ace. After ruffing, how would you contln· Ue? The bkkling looks strange 1o my eyes. ln. my youth, 1 was taught tllat a jump-shift , rebid by a two-club opener set that suit as trumps and asked for aces. Here, South would rebid three hearts. O\ler which~ North would bid tour clubs to show that a~e (and deny 1he spade ace, a sull skipped). With no aces but at least one king, Norlh would rebid 1hree no·lrump. With no ar.::e or ki ng, he would raise to fou r hearts. Also, despite the unfavorable vulnerability, most modern tournament players wllh Wes1 's cards would overcail two spades, A youngster might even bid 1hree spades. You should play' to trump your Club loser on the board. But to· ruff one loser, you need only one trump. So, cash the heart ace, play a club lo dummy's ace, lead a club to your king, and ruff the last low club on lhe board. When lhiu passes off salely, ruff high a spade In your hand, draw East's trumps, and claim.
