Big Ben eager to face Manning BY MICHAEL MAROT ASSOCIATED PRESS INDIANAPOLIS ~ When Ben Roethlisberger visits the RCA Dome for the tirst time Monday night, he ' ll sec ,Peyton Manning and try to steal a few tips. It' ll be one of the few times in Roethlisberger 's I 1/2 NFL seasons he's played the role of fan . ''I'm excited to watch Peyton in person. I think it will be fun ,'' Roethlisberger said. How much Roethlisberger enjoys the show .will depend ori three things ~ how well he plays after mi'5ing three games, how weH Manning performs and whether the Steelers (7-3) can become the first team to knock off the unbeaten Indianapolis Colts (10-0). l For the second straight week, the Colts will get an up-close look at one of the league's emerging stars. Last week, Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer shredded the Colts' defense for 338 yards and two touchdowns ~ ami they don' t want a repeat. Meanwhile. the Colts otfense seem> nearly unstoppable. Manning has regained his two-time MVP form. He '> topped 300 yards in two of the last three games, thrown 18 touchdowns in the last seven ·games and rapidly has ' ascended the league-leading charts in both touchdown pa.,ses and passer rating. The Colts also have the AFC's top rusher in Edgerrin James ( 1.116 yards). two of the top three receivers and have scored at least 31 points in five straight games. That kind of product ion worries Pittsburgh coach Bill Cowher. a defensive mastermind . Roethlisberger has spent the past month eagerly awaiting this chance. He hasn't played since the Stcclcrs' last Monday night appearance, a 20-19 victory over Baltimore on Oct. 31 . After knee surgery on Nov. 3, Cowher held out Rocthlisberger for three games and there was a noticeable difterence in the Steelers. Pittsburgh struggled to win at Green Bay, then lost In-13 in overtitlle at Baltimore last weekend. snapping a · franchi se-record 11 -game road winning streak. Roelhlisberger has ~n 18-1 regular-season record as a starter and has lost only two games in his career ~ both to New England. · He figures it wi II take some time Monday to gel reacquainted to game speed, although the Steelers can't afford to wait long. Pittsburgh needs a victory to stay in contention for . the AFC North title and a tirst-round bye in the rlayolfs, and it hasn'tlost two stra ight since the middle oi the 2003 season. "We have to approach it like it 's the biggest game of the year, because that's what it's goin!; to take to beat a team ltke Indianapolis," Roethl is berger said. The Colts are prepared for a steady mix of running by speedster Willie Parker and power bucks Duce Staley and Jerome Bet.tis. who have been slowed much of the season by injurie s, and Pittsburgh's zone blitzes. James will face the league's No. 3 run defense. an intriguing matchup that could force Manning lo .do more work. Manning lost -28-10 at Pittsburgh in 2002, his only previous game against the Steelers. Pittsburgh. Arizona and Carolina are the only teams Manning has not beaten in his eight-year NFL career.

Two of the seven other defendants also spoke out during the 2 1/2-hour hearing, complaining of their treatment in detention or dissatisfaction with their courtappointed counsel. Tlie court's tolerance of such comments drew sharp complaints from Shiite politicians who contend the tribunal is trying too hard to accommodate an ousted dictator who should have already been convicted and executed. "The chief jutlge snould be changed and replaced by someone who is strict and courageous," said Shiite legislator Ali al-Adeeb, a senior official iri Prime - Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari's· pany. The tribunal adjourned until . next week to give the defense time to replace lawyers slain since the trial opened Oct. 19. Monday was . only the second session of the trial. Saddam, immaculately groomed and the only defendant wearing Western clothes, moved quickly to try to seize control of the proceedings at the heavily guarded Baghdad court. Dressed in black trousers and a gray jacket with a white handkerchief in the breast pocket, the 68-year-old former president was the last defendant to enter the chamber. While other defendants appeared frightened and exhausted, Saddam swaggered confidently to his seat, greeting people along the way with the traditional Arabic greeting, "Peace be upon the people of peace" as he cradled a copy of the Quran. He began with a verse' from· the Muslim holy book that reminds believes who aspire for heaven that God knows who actually participated in jihad, or ho ly war: "You thought you would be· rewarded with heaven, as if God doesn't know who took pan in jihad and who has per- severed." He then complained that he had to walk up four flights of stairs in shackles and accompanied by "foreign guards" because the elevator was not working. The chief judge, Rizgar Mohammed Amin, said he would tell the police not to let that happen again. "You are the chief judge," Saddam snapped back. "I don't want you to tell them. I want you to order them. They are in our country. You have the sovereignty. You are Iraqi AP Photo Left to right. front row: Awad Hamed ai·Bandar..Saddam Hussein addressing the court; second row: Taha Yassin Ramadan, Abdullah Kazim Ruwayyid, Mizhar Abdullah Ruwayyid; back row: Mohammed Azawi Ali, Ali Dayim Ali. E3arazan Ibrahim appear at their trial held under tight security in Baghdad's heavilyfortified Green Zone In Iraq Monday. Saddam Hussein and seven others face charges that they ordered the killing in 1982 of nearly 150 people in the mainly Shiite village of Dujail north of Baghdad after a failed attempt on the former dictator's life. and they are foreigners and occupiers. They are invaders. You should order them." Saddam also complained that some of hi s papers had been taken from him. "How can a defendant defend himself if his pen was taken" Saddam Hussein's pen and papers were taken . I don't mean a white paper. There are papers downstairs that include my remarks in which I express my opinion," he said. Amin ordered bailiffs to give Saddam pen and paper. The tribunal allowed for· mer U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark and prominent' lawyers from Qatar and Jordan to joined the defense team as advisers, a move aimed at convincing foreign human rights groups that the trial, would meet international standards of fairness. Also, the chief judge ordered all handcuffs and ' shackles removed from the defendants before they entered the courtroom another gesture toward the accused. The defendants stand accused of ki ll ing more than 140 Shiite Muslims after an assassination attempt against Saddam in the Shiite town of Dujail in 1982. Convictions could bring a sentence of death by hanging. None .of the nearly 35 prosecution witnesses testified Monday, but the prosecution entered into evidence · two videotapes - one shot in the aftermath of the assassination attempt showing Saddam in military uniform interrogating three villagers. The second was a ',videotaped statement by fonner intelligence officer.Wadah Israel al-Sheik made last month shortly before he died of cancer. • Amin read the transcript as ttle tape played without sound. According to the transcript, al-Sheik, who appeared frail and sat in a wheelchair in a U.S.-controlled hospital, said about 400 people were detained after the assassination attempt, although he estimated only seven to 12 gunmen actively participated in the ambush of Saddam's convoy. "I don't know why so many people were arrested," at-S heik said, adding that Ibrahim, head of intelligence at the time, "was the one directly giving the orders." A day after the assassination attempt, whole families were rounded up and taken to Abu Ghraib prison, he said. Al-Sheik noted that codefendant Taha Yassin Ramadan, a former vice president, headed a committee that ordered orchards - the basi s of Dujail's livelihood - to be destroyed because they were used to conceal the assailants. At the end of the session, Saddam's half brother and fellow defendant, Barazan Ibrahim, complained he had not received proper medical treatment since being diag- · ·Bush presses for new immigration strategy, tighter borders Bv L1 Z Sl DOT I ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER . TUCSON, Ariz. President Bush on Monday tried io ease the concerns of conservatives who are wary of his guest-worker plan for foreigners, talking tough about illegal immigration and a need for tight U.S. bor" ders to deter terrorist attacks. "Illegal immigrati~n is a · serious challenge nd · our responsibility is d ar: We are ~oing to protec1 the border,' Bush satd,:_/ 'A fter ~endmg nearly a week / at his ranch in Crawford, Te~as , Bush went on the road to pitch his immigration plan - lirst in Tucson and again on Tuesday in El Paso, Texas. The border states are home to GOP senators who say there is a need to change immigration Jaws but who aren't entirely sold on Bush's vision. The president has been urging Congress to act on a guest-worker program for more than a year. Under his plan, undocumented aliens would be allowed to get three-year work visas. They could extend that for an additional three years, but would then have to return to their home countries for a year to apply for a new work permit. Bush's plan pairs a. guestworker program for foreigners with border sec urity . enforcement, an attempt to satisfy both his business supporters, who believe foreign · workers help the economy, and other conservative backers who take a hard line on illegal immigration . He said fhe program he's proposing would create a . legal way to match foreign workers . with American employers to fill jobs tha~ Americans will not do. ''This program would help meet the demands·of a growing economy, and it would allow honest workers to provide for their families while re s pectin~ the law," Bush said. "Thts plan would also help us relieve pressure on the border by creating a legal channel for those who enter Ameri ca to dg an honest day 's labor." Bush said hi s plan would reduce the number of workers trying to sneak across the border and free law enforcement officials to nab criminals, drug dealer> and terrorists. "The program that I propose would not create an automatic path to citizen· ship,'' Bush said. " It would· n' t provide for amnesty. I ·" oppose amnesty. Rewarding those who have broken the Jaw would encourage o!hers to break the law and keep pressure on our border."' .Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., asked Bush in a letter Monday_ to encourage bipartisan and realistic changes to immigration laws. Reid said Bush should "stand up to the right wing of your party and stand up. for what is right" by taking more than an enforcement-only · approach to illegal immigration. "Enforcement alone does not work ," Reid said. " Unless we address the gap between our . immigration laws and reality, illegal immi gration will not stop and the situation on lhe border will continue to be cha.otic." The Senate has postponed its work on immigration proposals until early ne~t year, partly because lawmakers are divided over the sco pe of . such changes and whether foreigners illegally working in ·the United States should be allowed to stay. The House hopes to tackle some border . sec urity measures before adjourning, but little time remains. nosed with cancer and that this amounted to "indirect murder." Delendant Awad alBandar claimed he and Saddam had been threatened in court last month, The . · judge told him to submit his . complaints in writing. Amin then adjourned the hearing until next Monday. Saddam's personal attorney, Khalil al-Dulaimi, complained the defense needed at least a month. Amin suspended the hearing for lO minutes to confer with the four other judges and then announced · that the Monday date was firm.

Local man nominated for national teaching award BY PAUL DARST PDARST®MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM GALLIPOLIS Each morning when he steps into his classroom~ John Sharp faces a big challenge: How to get a group of eighth grade srudents interested in American history. During his nine-year career at Meigs Middle School, Sharp has developed some creative techniques for capturing the attention of his young audiences. And now he has been recognized for his efforts. · Sharp was nominated for the 2006 Disney Teacher award. "To be nominated for this award is a great honor, especially since I was nominated by a student," Sharp said. "There are many teachers in the Meigs Local School .District who are , worthy of this award. · Every day they reach ou't to students and better the community. It's a honor to teach among them." Sharp is now eligible to apply for consideration as the 2006 Disney Teacher of the Year Award . For the past 16 · years, Disney has recognized the nation 's educators through the awards program. Thousands of teacher across the country are anonymously nominated, according to information from Disney. By May, about40 nominees will be selected to. attend an awards gala at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim. Calif., in July where Disney will name the teacher of the year. One reason the award is so special to Sharp is due to a student nominating him. "One of my goals as a social studies teacher is to teach my students to become active and productive citi- zens/' he said. Sharp works to find ways to get his students. attention and then keep them interested . "Sometimes, I'll start out by telling them a story to get them hooked," he said. " I might change my voice ... I do anything I can to get them hooked." This year, Sharp had his students divide into groups and study the Lewis and Clark expedition. Each student then had to write a journal entry as if they were part of the famous trek across America. Other projects include making Native American totem poles and rain sticks, and conducting a sock puppet play about the Civil War.

ATHENS O'Bleness Memorial Hospititl's mammography technologist~ now use a new pnoduct that dnamatically eases the discomfort many women feel when they get a mammogriun. The FDA-cleared foam cushion, called MammePad, helps patients feel more comfortable during the exan1ination that screens lor breast cancer, said a hospital spokesperson, adding that the pad creates a softer, warmer mammogram examination. O'Bleness is a certitied Softer Mammogram Provider and began using ' the MammoPad(r) in October. At O'Bleness, all mammogram examinations are performed in the radiology and medical imaging satellite at the Casu:op Center near the hospital in tl1e O'Bleness Medical Park. "The discomfort many women fuel during mammography compression 'is widely known to be a reason that some don't get regular screen" ings," said Jeffrey Benseler. D.O., chief of radiology at O'Bleness. "The pad provides a soft, warm cushion tor the breast during the mammography procedure," he explained. "And, because women are more relaxed during the exan1, it makes it even easier for our mammography technologists to capture the best possible image." The mammography device was developed by Stanford University breast surgeon Gale Lebovic, M.D., who understood ·mammography discomfort from both a physician's and patient's point of view. "We oy to create the best possible experience for our patients," said Ramona MacGregor, senior technologist and quality control technologist in O'Bleness' radiology and medical imaging satellite. "We're plea~d to be able to offer our patients this impo('(ant enhancement to our accredited mammography services. For an appointment for a mammography examination call 740-566-4540.

First, no matter how disenchanted Americans have become about the war to establish a strong, stable pro-Western democracy in the heart of the Middle East's terrorist breeding ground, a majority is still opposed to our pulling out before we· have achieved that mission. A recent Washington Post/ABC News poll found that 52 percent want the l]nited States to keep our troops i it Iraq unti I Iraqis' security forces can maintain civil ordet. Thai ·hasn't changed. ' Despite a .' fierce · Democratic offensive in Congress for the ·. withdrawal of U.S. military forces next year, if not sooner, the poll found only about 1-in-5 · believe the United States should get out right away. House Speaker Dennis Hastert knew that when, in . the ·face of a fu.rious Democratic assault on the war issue, he decided to give the Democrats an upor-down vote on an immediate pullout. That's essentially what John P. Murtha of Pennsylvania, the ranking Democrat on the Armed Services Committee, proposed Thursday. In fact, there was n6 real consensus in Murtha's party about yanking U.S. troops out in the midst of Iraq's most perilous hour, and Hasterl knew that, too. After a similarly well- 'Morton Konclladce coordinated offensive in the Senate, followed by the usually hawkish Murtha's surprise pullout suggestion, House . Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi , Senate leader Harry Reid and party chairman Howard Dean were milking the issue for all the political mileage they could get ou) of it. Republicans had to call their bluff, which Hasler! did, scheduling a quick vote late Friday night. . "The Democrats want to play politics, so let's play politics with it. See if their votes are where their mouths are," barked Carl Forti, spokesman for the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee . . The measure, predictably, was crushed 403' 3. The Democrats were all talk and no convictions. Second, no one is talking about the widening rift in Democratic ranks between the hard left anti war wing and many of its congressional leaders. While Democrats may look like they are united against the war, they seem all over lhe lot, especially in their leadership ranks. When a group of Senate Democratic war critics last week proposed an amendment suggesting a timetable for troop with- drawal , Sen. Joe Lieberman; the party's vice presidential nominee in 2000, rushed to the floor to denounce the move. "The debate in our country and · in this city has grown much too partisan over what is happening in Iraq," Lieberman lectured Democrats. "And that partisanship has begun to get in the way of our successful completion of our mission there." Yes, the debate over the credibility of pre-war intelligence nearly three years ago was important, "but not as important as about how we successfully complete our mission in Iraq, how we protect the men and women fighting for us in uniform over there, how we do what the majority of members of both parties has said is so important to us, successfully complete this mission," he said. Lieberman fears the pacifist message Democrats are sending , "and that is a message that I feel will discourage our troops in the field, will encourage the terrorists and confuse the Iraqis." Lieberman wasn't the only Democrat rejecting the antiwar, pullout wing of his party. While Murtha's call for withdrawal drew fulsome praise from Pelosi and the party's left, Maryland Rep. Steny Hoyer, the No. 2 Democrat in the House, reacted with sullen silence. Pulling the rug out from under the Iraqis in this struggle against the terrorists was not the " '.,. , .' • ·' "l"tl '" On Nov. 15, 84 members ing an introductory high that go · far beyond the· school civics class, detainees al Guanlanamo of the Senate voted for "an improved" amendment Washington attorney on an amendment ... which: to the Defense Department Thomas Wilner, represent- on the face takes away authorization bill by ing some of the detainees, jurisdiction of the pointed out the many ways Supreme Court of . thl;' Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.

RAMPAGE FOR MORE DIAN A YEAR BY CLEVELAND - A former student tried to kill as many people as he could in a seven-hour shooting rampage at 'Case Western Reserve University that he had planned for m0 re than a year, prosecutors said Monday as his trial began. One person died in the siege on the university's business school, which the prosecution says Biswanath . Halder attacked because he believed a student computer lab .employee had hacked into a Web site he designed to provi,d e business assistance to his native India. Halder, 65 , who graduated from the school ·in 1999 with a master's degree in business administration, has repeatedly said information he considered vital to his own life's work was destroyed.

Defense lawyer Kevin Cafferkey apologized to Wallace's family and every·one who was inside the building at the university's Weatherhead School of Management on May 9, 2003. Halder believed he was "sacrificing himself to save mankind" from someone he believed was a cybercriminal, Ca!Terkey said. Halder is charged with 202 felony counts, including aggravated murder and terrorism. Halder had been accused of 338 variou~ felony counts, but more than I 00 were dropped because some witnesses to ·the shooting spree were unavailable. If convicted, Halder could be sentenced to death.

INSIDE CINCINNATI (AP) - The University . of Cincinnati women's crew team sued the school, claiming it spends millions on equipment, staff and facilities for men 's sports while shortchan~ing women's sports. The umversity awarded $1 million more on scholarships for men's athletics than for women's during the last academic year, according to the lawsuit filed Monday in U.S. District Court. The rowers say the school is violating Title IX, the 1972 Jaw that bars sex discrimination in any educational program receiving federal funds. They are seekmg equipment and the constmction of a boathouse, along with other, unspecified · damages. The university made women's rowing a varsity sport in 2000, in part to meet Title IX requirements. A Cincinnati tmstee promised $I. million toward a boathouse, and plans were drawn for a $3 million building on the Licking River in Wilder, Ky. That plan was dropped la~t year, however, when cost estimates ran closer to $6 million.

ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) - Steve Mariucci's chann and easygoing ways made him popular in his home state. They also may have led to his demise as coach of the Detroit Lions. . "I think that's fair to say," offensive tackle Jeff. Backus said in an interview with The Associated Press. "My two ·NFL coaches have been Steve Mariucci and Marty Mornhinweg. and both are players' coaches that treated us like men and let some things slide. "Maybe that's why the team felt we needed a different way of doing things." Mariucci was fired Monday and replaced by defensive coordinator Dick Jauron on an interim basis. "I don't think anyone in our busine" wants to be standing here in this situation," said Jauron, who had a 35-46 record as Chicago's head coach from 1999-2003. Team president Matt Millen made the decision after consulting with the owners. When Mariucci's soft-handed approach was questioned, Millen said he made the move for a variety of reasons he dido 't want to detail. · "Everyone has their own way of doing things and it didn't work," Millen said. Mariucci has more than two years remaining on the $25 million contract he . signed in 2003.

Ubt!ly 48, Nlkls McKinlay 46 ·Colts blast Steelers INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - · The Indianapolis Colts are shoving aside ch'allengers as If they'll never be 'beaten. Now the Pittsburgh Steelers are out of the way, too . From their first offensive play Monday . night, the unbeaten Colts dominated the Steelers, winning their II th straight game 26-7. Peyton Manning hit a streaking Maniin Harrison in stride for an 80-yard score, and the Colts never looked back. Now they-can look forward ·to the final month of what is becoming an extraordinary season. The ll th team ever to go 11-0 and the first si nce Denver in 1998, the Colts have beaten three of their main AFC competitors - the Patriots, Bengals and Steelers (7-4) - in a span of four weeks. "Is it a burden being ll -0?'' Manning said, repeating a question. "I never thought of it as that. It's an honor because of the respect I have for NFL teams. It's hard to win ·1I games in a season, let alone the first ll." While there are some significant obstacles ahead in their quest to match the 1972 Miami Dolphins' perfect regular season, such as meetings with San Diego, Jacksonville and Seattle, the Colts should be favored in all five remaining games. In shutting down Pittsburgh with a staunch, aggressive defense that yielded only 197 yards, the Colts also ended a seven-game slide in this series dating to 1984. Manning hurdled his New England jinx on a Monday night at the beginning of November, and he got his first career victory over Pittsburgh to finish off the month They handed Steelers quar. terback Ben Roethlisberger his first road defeat; he was ·90, but couldn't do much in his first game back after missing three weeks because of knee surgery. The Colts also set a franchise record with a lOth straight home win in earning their 400th victory, combining the years in Baltimore and Indianapolis. "We went to New England and beat the AFC East lead- ovcs ers, we beat Cincinnati and Pittsburgh ," coach Tony Dungy said. "Knowing we can beat the good teams and · defending our turf is a good feeling." Edgerrin James became the tirst rusher to gain 100 yards against Pittsburgh in 23 gam~s. running for 124 on 29 carnes. By contrast, Roethlisberger led the Steelers in rushin~ with 21 yards until Wilhe Parker broke a 24-yard run in the final moments. "I know when I get the ball I've got certain things I've got to do," James said. "It's just a matter of how many times I get the ball," The only time Manning had faced the Steelers before in his eight-year career was a 28-10 loss at Pittsburgh in 2002. He passed for 304 yards and a touchdown, but was intercepted three times. On this night, he began another Colts rout, hitting, Harrison behind Ike Taylor just I :44 into the game. But after Mike Vanderjagt's 29-yard field goal made it 100, the Steelers sniffed out another deep pass to Harrison. Manning underthrew his star receiver and Troy Polamalu intercepted, slaloming through several weak tackle attempts in returning the ball 36 yards to the 7. · After penalties set back the Steelers, Roethlisberger hit Hines Ward for a 12-yard score, making it l 0-7. That was about it for Pittsburgh. Indy's ·vastly upgraded defense, ranked eighth and hittin ~ as hard as . the Steel Curtam ever has, shut down the Steelers the rest of the way. If not for . Polamalu's pick and four 15-yard penalties against the Colts, Pittsburgh wouldn't have been in the game at halftime. Jeff Reed missed a 41-yard field goal attempt early in the second ·quarter, something teams can't . do against the potent Colts.
