Chanting and carrying signs, they also screamed for the Ford family to · sell the team to someone who cares about winning. Steven B'eaton, 32, of Dearborn, said he didn't think the rally would do any good. "We've got two good teams here and the other two are horrible," he said. 'That's got to chll'!ge." The ma'rch, sponsored by a local sports talk radio station, began at a bar five blqcks .from the stadium about two hours before Sunday's home finale against the Cincinnati Bengals. Fans carried signs that said "Fire Millen," "Commitment to Ineptness," and "Fed Up." One wore a hat reading "Blame Ford First." Among their chants were calls of "Ho, ho, ho. Millen must go." Many marchers wore orange to support the Bengals· rather than the home team. They also wore shirts calling for Millen's firing arid marking their participation in the "2005 Angry Fan March." The Lions are 4-9 this year and have the league's worst record during the past five seasons, 20-57. ·At the previous home game, fans displayed "Fire Millen" signs and chanted for his dismissal. The scene turned into a circus of sorts when one fan ran from section to section, dodg'ing security, with a "Fire Millen" Isign, before he wa,~ tackled as he ran up steps toward the exits.

II. . · A recent Assoctated Press poll found that a majority. of the American peqple would support it, too. Thirty-eight percent said "torture" of "suspected terrorists" can be justified "often" ( 11 percent) or "sometimes" (27 percent). Another 23 percent said it can be justified in rare circumsta,nces - presumably, that includes the top command of, AI Qaeda and only 36 percent said it can never be justified. For sure, majority opinion isn't always right on moral subjects_ But I think it is in this case - and that Congress and the Bush administration will make a terrible mistake if they bar U.S. interrogators from using any "cruel, inhuman or degrading" techniques to question suspected terrorists, as called for in Sen. John McCain's, R-Ariz ., amendment to the pending Department of Defense funding bilL There's a question about whether waterboarding constitutes "torture" McCain says it does, while .the administration apparently thinks it doesn't but it surely would fall under most definitions of "cruel'; or " degrading" and would therefore be banned. Waterboarding consists of tying a prisoner to an inclined board, wrapping his face with cellophane and pouring water on him, stimulating a gagging reflex and convincing the victim that he's drowning.

Moreover, she declined to comment on cha{ges ' by many journalists, including this one, that the Cl A on its own has a network of secret interrogation . centers in Europe. Yet, on Dec. 5, Brian Ross reported on ABC News that AI Qaeda suspects in two secret CIA prisons in Eastern Europe had been cleared out before Rice's arrival, and the suspects were moved to a new hidden CIA facility in the North African desert. . Also, while Rice repeatedly insisted that the United States does not engage in or condone torture, the newspaper, Financial Times Deutschland, echoed concerns of many Europeans: " It remains unclear exactly what definition Washi ngton uses for torture." Later, however, in Kiev, the Ukraine, Rice made a surprising (and rather star, tli ng) statement that American obligations under the U.N. Convention against torture "extend to U.S. personnel wherever they are, whether they are in the United States .or outside the United States."

During the recessed ses· sion the situation of how to fill empty council seats was on the table. Beginning Jan. I , cou ncil will only have two sit· ring members_ No one filed for the remaining three empty council seats in the general election. Clerk-Treasurer David Spencer said he had consulted the Ohio Revised Code about appointments to council seats. Spencer said he· inter· preted the code to mean that . council can appoint new council members to the empty seats as of J an_ I , 2006 and has 30 days to do so. If cou nci l does not appoint those · seats in 30 days then the mayor has 30 days to appoint the seats. Once appointed, the terms would expire in four years. The two counc il members {with unexpired terms) that can vote ' on filling the empty seats are Ike Spencer and Paul Cardone. Besides the three empty seats. council must al so appoint someone to a fourth seat vacated by former Councilman Greg Taylor who resigned last month. Councilmen Jason Shain . and Ivan Powell have expressed an interest in staying on council while Bentz is giving up his seat. Resident James M. Harmon was present at the meetin g and expressed an interest in joining council. Council dec1ded to wait until the first meeting of the year before ·appointments were made as last ni~ht was the lasr council meeung of 2005. Harmon would have had to be reappointed in January if approved last night. · Those interested in joining council should contact a councilman, the mayor or clerk-treasurer and be present at the Jan. 5 regular session. An organizational meeting will precede the re!lular sessipn at 7 p. n:t. to dtscuss the issue of empty council seats .

But now people are getting full sheets of real money .and it feels like winning the Lottery. And here's how everybody wins. For the next 48. hours, full uncut sheets of real money are . being given up, not to banks, not to dealers and not just to the rich and famous, but directly to the general public. "We're bracing for all the calls. Please tell .e veryone to just keep trying. With only 48 hours we're doing our best to make damn sure everybody get& through," pro~ised Stephen Speakman, NatiOnal Director of Hotline Operations. At precisely 10:00 a.m. today, the National Hotline first opens. Those whose last name begins with A-N are given a special number to call and those with last names beginning with 0-Z will have their own special number to call. "The money is being handed over on a fl rst come first served basis," Speakman said, The National hotlines will only stay open for 48 hours to distribute the valuable sheets of real money through this &pecial arrangement. But after midnight tomorrow, callers will be turned away. Those who get in on this now will be the really smart ones. Just think what they could be worth years from now. "Values of currency always fluctuate. It's difficult when you are comparing apples to oranges, but according to the Official Standard Guide to U.S. Paper Money which provides the guide of valuations, some 'uncirculated 1928 .one dollar bills have increased in value by over 6,400%. In fact, a full uncut dozen of 1928 dollar bills sold for $18,400.00,'' Speakman said. "You would expect to see uncut money sheets on display in the Oval Office or under guard at the Smithsonian," he said. Until now, only those lucky enough to be "in the know" ·online could get their hands on uncut sheets of real money at the Bureau of Bngraving offices in Washington. In fact, banks don't even have them. But now you can get them direct by calling the hotline number. "You can actually spend it. It's real money. But anyone would be an absolute fool to cash them in because they're ·worth so much more," Speakman confirmed. There's going to be a lot of excited people when they unwrap these valuable full . sheets of money this Christmas. It's a ton of money when you see the full Vault Stack's of all three sheets. "These shee ts of mon ey make it so easy to take care of everyone on your gift Jist all at once without having to waste your time shopping. You can take care of parents, grandparents, children, grandchildren, clergy, co-workers, friends, the mailman and even the hardest person to buy for. They will all be so impressed," Speakman said. Once they get them they'll try to get more but it may be too late. When they're , gone, they're gone .. That's why the next 48 hours are so critica l. It is important that the ' general publlc follow the local time clocks and ca ll the assigned Toll Free numbers below to beat the deadline. So, on your mark, get set, go.

The Bengals, who clmched the AFC North Sunday w1th a w1n 1n Detro1t, aren't gettmg earned away by thetr f1rst diVISIOn champ1onsh1p 1n 15 years CINCINNATI - Carson P.1lmer and Jon Kilna tned·to soak Bengals coach Matvm I ewis with splash of ltme· green sports dnnk, the tradttional stdeline celebration for clmchmg a champtonshtp. Lewts ducked from the spray wtthout crackmg a smile. A moment later, offenst ve linemen Willie Anderson and Bobbte Wtlhams ambushed the stem-faced coach from the other stde wtth a cooler of cold water. They ~ot htm wet, but couldn't get htm to smtle. " He wasn ' t too happy," Palmer said, after Cmcmnal! eli nched the AFC North title wtth a 41 -1 7 victory m Detrmt on Sunday "He's got to Jearn to enJOY 11. It doesn't happen all the time." Leadmg by example, Lewts has the Bengals ( 11-3) acting • like tt does. ' The victory in Detroit was the franchtse s be's! moment in 15 years, securing ·its first playoff appearance smce 1990 Long-suffenng players savored tt. Newcomers celebrated it Lewts got over tl, qutckly puttmg the focus on the posstbtlity of more· mean- mgtul dousmgs down the road Maybe even another wet one m Dell ott. "I was not happy about getling dou sed," Lew~> acknowledged Monday. "When the ga me's over, that's fme I don't know how you go through that sttuat1on We know what's at stake and to contmue to play" Players had Monday off because of their shortened week. They play Buffalo at Paul Brown Stadium on Saturday, thetr final regularseason home game They weren't giddy in the locker room m Detrotl, where they had champ10nsh1p caps and sh1rts to celebrate the elustve lttle Part of 11 was the unusual mood m the stadium - many ot the fans showed thetr dtsgust wtth the Ltons' futthty And part ot tt was a sense that it's stmply too early to get carried away "We were slappmg highfives, .hugging and congratulating," satd Palmer, who set a franchtse record wtth hts 30th touchdown pass of the season. "The good thmg ts that lthmk we real1ze that thts IS JUSt one of the goals This doesn't -For once, bounces go Browns' way BEREA (AP) - On a ramy, sloppy, Sliver-andblack afternoon on the edge of the Black Hole and tis angry, undes1rable demzeus, Browns coach Romeo Crennel found an cye-ple<Ising sight. It was on the scoreboard: Cleveland 9, Oakland 7 "We know 11 wasn ' t pretty," Crennel smd. "They don't count pretty. They JUSt . count wms and losses So 1t's really beautiful to me " One week after losmg on a .field goal on the game's final play at Cmcmnau, the Browns (5-9) blocked a late field goal by the Raiders, · beneftted from a fumble bemg overturned by mstant replay in the final mmute and watched as Phtl Qawson's 37-yard k1ck sailed through the upnghts as ttme expired The vtclory was JUSt Cleveland's second on the road thts season, and the ' club's first since Week 2 at Green Bay. But what made this one a lntle extra special was that it came when tt appeared the Browns were on thetr way to another pamful loss - hke so many others they've experienced smce 1999 "The guys hung in there," Crennel satd. None of the Browns "hung in" more than rookte quarter- b a c k down, he got back up and first season as Cleveland's Charlte Frye, who left the Bay Area w i l h bruiSed Notebook ribs and as so rted bumps from head to toe Frye, showmg pOise and gnt m h1s thtrd career start, finished 21-of-31 for 198 yards and one mtercepl!on. But on Cleveland's drive to set up Dawson's game-wmning kick, wh1ch started after Alvm McKinley blocked Sebastian Janikowskt's fieldgoal try wtth 3:19 left, Frye went 4-of-5 for 32 yards On a second-and-12 play with I :09 remaining, Frye took a shot~un snap, rolled tight and nfled a 12-yard pass to wtde recetver Frisman Jackson, who managed to keep both feet down whtle balancmg on Oakland's sideline. Frye has shown steady improvement each week, givmg Crennel more JUSiificauon for playing him ahead of veteran Trent Dtlfer "The young quarterback," Crennel said, referring to Frye, "continues to show he can handle the tests we are throwmg at htm, and the opponents are throwing at htm After he got knocked made plays." Frye wasn't avatlable to reporters on Monday as Crennel gave hts players the day off followmg the trip back from the West Coast. Frye, though, came in for treatment on hts achmg body, which absorbed several btgume hus, mcludmg a nasty shot to the nbs from bhtzmg hnebacker Danny Clark "He's sore, but I don't thmk it's anything major," said Crennel, who would only commit to Frye for Saturday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Browns dtd suffer one major lllJUry as center Jeff Faine tore a biceps muscle and wtll miss the final two games. Once he ts placed on mJured reserve , Fame, who may need surgery, will have spent the end of his three seasons m the NFL on the injured ltst. Crennel, however, was pleased wllh Fame's produclion and tsn't concerned about the 24-year-old's )ustory of !flJuries. "He has only finished one year on IR wtth me," Crennel said "We expect him to come back and be fine." Like hts predecessors Chns Palmer and Butch Davis, Crennel has had to endure hts share of costly injuries in hrs coach But the bad luck that has haunted the Browns fmally turned thetr way m the final minute When Reuben Droughns fumbled at the Oakland 19 and it was recovered by the Raiders with 43 seconds left, 11 looked as tf the Browns were doomed As referee Mike Carey peered under the hood of the stdehne vtdeo monitor to watch several replays, Crennel tned to stay postttve. "You JUst kind<Jf hold your breath unttl they decide," he satd. "But 11 looked hke his knee was on the ground." Carey agreed, the Browns kept possessiOn, and Frye took a knee on Cleveland's next play to set up Dawson 's game-wmmng field goal. Wtth thetr fifth vtctory, the Browns have surpassed last year's wm total and have a legtllmate shot at getting thetr first m the AFC North with upcoming games against the Steelers and Baltimore Ravens. Crennel said the nex I two weeks could be a peak at hts club's future. "Mentally, thts win helps hft us up a httle btl," he satd "It could be a lead m to how we can compete wtthm the division " :Steelers need to be perfect :and the defense is playing like it PITTSBURGH (AP) .After losing three games m a TOW to effectively hand the AFC North utle to the ·cincmnal! Bengals, the Ptttsburgh Steelers knew they · needed to be perfect lhe rest of the season Only 4-for-4 - four wms in four games - would get them mto the playoffs, and then probably only as a wild card and the No. 6 seeded team m the AFC. Two games and two victories later, the Steelers ' defense has been nearly that: perfect, or at least as close as an NFL team can be so late m the season. Whtle endmg consecutive wtnmng streaks of etght games (Chtcago Bears, 21-9) and stx games (Mmnesota Vtkmgs, 18-3), the Steelers' defense allowed one meaningless late touchdown to the Bears, two field goals and not much more The Bears (I 0-4) and Vtkmgs (8-6) have 18 vtctones between them, yet they combmed for 26 first downs, 137 yards rushmg and 453 total yards agamst the Steelers- many of those late passmg yards by the Bears m a game already lost . The Steelers (9-4) are back to playmg the kmd of defense they had while gomg 15-1 last season, when they allowed the fewest yards m I the league. To coach B 1 I I Cowher, tt's commg JUSt in ltme, wllh the Notebook S tee I e r s p rob a b I y needmg to beat the Cleveland Browns (5-9) on Saturday and the Detroit Lwns (4-1 0) on Jan. I to make the playoffs "We' re playmg hke we should l)e playing," Cowher satd Monday. "Not to take anything away from Minnesota or Chtcago, but those offenses are two that we should be able to stand up to. We need to play this way and take a step forward." What Cowher espectally hkes ts how linebackers Joey Porter and James Farrior have begun playmg hke they dtd a season ago; when Famor was an All-Pro and Porter made the Pro Bowl Famor hasn't come close to matchmg hts 2004 season statlsllcally, but has 20 tackles the last two weeks. Porter, who had knee surgery dunng trammg camp, had an mterception and two sacks the last two games and now has more sacks (8) than he had last season (7). "Joey ts getting energtzed and gettmg his knees back," Cowher satd "I don 't thmk ' he's been 100 percent all year long. He's never really gotten a chance to rest tt I think James is probably the same way. I think this ts the first ltme he's played wtthout the knee brace m some t1me." The Vtkmgs also had prob!ems handling lineman Casey Hampton. who (aused a safety by running over backup center Cory Wtthrow and dri, ving htm into running back Mtchael Bennett m the end zone. ''They're all playmg defenstvely at a high level," Cowher satd. The Browns had no offense except for three Ph1l Dawson field goals Sunday, but they were enough to , beat the Ratders 9-7 m Oakland The Browns have been out of playoff contention for weeks m coach Romeo Crennel's first season, but have had a htstory of playmg the Steelers tough at home. The Steelers have won in Cleveland each of the last tour seasons, but the scores have been 15- 12 (2001), 2320 (2002), 13-6 (2003) and 24-10 (2004). "It's a football team that took Cmcmnal! down lb the last second the week before," Cowher satd. "They beat Miam1 22-0 a few weeks ago. There wtll be great sattsfacliOn tf they can knock us out of the playoffs." The Steelers can go 11-5 by beatmg the Browns and Lions, and only one team wtth an 11-5 record - the Broncos in 1985 has missed the playoffs since the NFL went to a 16-game season in 1978 There 's a mathemattcal chance of 11 happening this season If Pittsburgh sweeps, Jacksonville (10-4) splits Its final two games against Houston (2-12) and Tennessee (4- 10) and San Diego (9-5) beats Kansas City (8-6) and Denver (11-4), the Steelers, Jaguars and Charger would all be 11 -5 Based on conference record, the Jaguars and Chargers would be m and the Steelers would be out "We have the next game, and that's the only game to focus on," Cowher satd. "We know what's at stake and the only thing we can control ts how we play " Notes; Because of the shon work week, Monday was the players' only day ott .. LT Marvel Smtth (ankle), out for three weeks, wtll be upgraded to questionable The Steelers are 7-0 agamst the NFC the last two seasons. . Willie Parker needs 63 yards in the final two games to become the Steelers ' ftrst I ,000-yard rusher smce Jerome Bents m 200 1. make our season We still have two b1g ga mes left " That's why Lewts ts kcepmg a stra1ght face. As a d1vision champton, Cmctnnatt gets at least one home playoff game The club announced Monday that season ucket holders had bought all the seats for the playoff game. The top two dtvts1on champtons m each conference get first -round byes, wh1le the other two dtvts1on wmners play the w1ld-card teams Jnd1anapohs has chnched the lop spot m the Amencan Conference w1th a 13- 1 mark and the tiebreakers m tts favor Denver ts t1ed with Cmcinnau for the second-best record m the conference, but has a better conference record and would get the other bye tf they ftmsh !ted So, the Bengals have to win their last two games - agamst Buttalo and Kansas Ctty - and have the Broncos lose one "Thts ts a bu smess where you work harder to work more, so there ts no time to celebrate," Lewt s satd "Every game ts very meamngful, parltcularly for us.

Indians get relievers Karsay, Graves CLEVELAND (AP)- The Cleveland Indians turned to their past for help with their bullpen, agreeing Monday to minor league contracts with right-handed relievers Danny Graves and Steve Karsay. Graves and Karsay previously pitched for the Indians, who need fill the setup spot vacated when Bob Howry agreed to a $12 million, threeyear contract with the Chicago Cubs in November. Graves, who holds Cincinnati's club record for · saves ( 182), was released by the Reds in May, shortly after he made an obscene hand gesture to a fan following a poor ninth-inning performance. He was signed by the New York Mets and went I -I with a 6.52 ERA in 40 appearances. If the 32-year:old Ora ves is added to Cleveland's 40-man roster in spring training, 'he would receive a oneyear $575,000 contract. When he was let go by the Reds, Graves insisted he had not fully recovered from 2003, when he agreed to try to help the club by becoming a starter for the first time. He went 415 and ·wore down, losing velocity off his fastball. Graves was with the Indians from 1995-97 before being traded to Cincinnati on July 31 , 1997, in a five-player deal. Cleveland originally picked Graves in the .fourth round of the I 994 draft. Karsay has been slowed by injuries to hi s back and shoulder in recent years. which has limited him to 27 appearances since 2003. The 33-year-old was rel'cascd by the New York Yankees last season and finished the year with Texas Rangers. Karsay, who began · hi s career as a starter with Oakland, went 15-14 with 22 saves in 3 112 seasons with the Indians. Off a successful 200 I season split between the Indians and Atlanta Braves, Karsay signed a $22.5 million, four-year deal to become the Ya~kees' setup man for Mariano Rivera, He filled that role in 2002 by pitching in 78 games, but Karsay missed the entire 2003 season while recovering from surgery on his right shoulder. Karsay would get a oneyear. $600,000 deal if added to Cleveland's 40-man roster. Eagles Trimble held a 43-23 lead at intermission. After a low-scoring third period, Trimble used a 21-3 scoring advantage in the fourth quarter to make the final tally appear even worse.

"l think that allows all their tendencies. all the things the'y like to do,' all the information you need .to absorb to really have a big impact when you're in such a concentrated environment." The Irish plan to practice daily. ·including two practices on Tuesday and Thursday, as coach Charlie Weis seeks to establish a training camp atmosphere before players head home on Friday. They will travel to Phoen,ix on Dec. 27 to resume game preparation s. Quinn .said the most important thing for the Irish is to make sure they are working hard from .the stan to get ready for the Buckeyes. He said the Irish have to find a sense of urgency. "Really, we have these few practices then we're home for Christmas then we're right off to the bowl game," he said. The Irish say tile bowl game has the feeling of a season-opener. No other students are on campus and their lives revolve totally around football. "It's like starting the season over," · line· . backer Corey Mays said.

"Even when we were winning at some points in years prior, we weren't winning so convincingly." The Irish, whose 3R.2 points a game would set a school record, are ,beating teams by more than two touchdowns a game. They've won five straight games since a 34-3 1 loss to top-ranked USC on Oct. 15. But the Irish know the last game is the one fans remember most. . Hoyle believes' the disappointments of past seasons helped forge the Irish. "We have a group of guys who for a high majority of their careers were told they were letting Notre Dame down and they weren't what they were supposed to be," he said. "They took that and they used that as fuel to go out there and work their behinds otT this year. So you're dealing with a different breed of football player when you see Notre Dame on the football fie ld."

POMEROY While many churches decorate their altar railings and windows with poinsettia plants during the holiday season, Trinity Congregational Church in Pomeroy has an impressive I 2-foot tree on which to display its poinsettias. It was designed many years ~go by Pat Holter and built by Donnie Mayer who admits that it was "somewhat of a design nightmare." The frame is a two-piece contraption of old lumber and chickc en wire which fans ·OUt once attached together with pins through hinges on the tree replica. It has removable shelving for I 10 poinsettias. As explained by John Musser, " It's not an easy job to get the frame up." He said the two pieces have to be perfectly aligned to get the pins through and that takes several men on tall ladders trying to hold everything in place. "Once we get those pins in then we block up the front, and attach wire to the . tree and extend it to mountings on the church wall to hold it up." The next step. said Musser, is to nail the bottom of the framework to the floor. And how long does this take'! "We did it Saturday and it took us from about I 0 in the morning · to almost I in the aftenioon to get everything all finished. ·That's about three hours with loh of help," he responded. :' It 's a real chore to get it up; but it's the same guys year year who help and it after Charlene Hoeftlch/ photo .goes up pretty yuickly now.
