Smelly manholes all over<lb />
campus bother students<lb />
Places like the Brewster building, Greene Hall and Clement Hali have manholes that emit odors<lb />
The cause behind the<lb />
smell<lb />
RACHEL KING<lb />
STAFF WRITER<lb />
As many students and staff<lb />
have noticed, the odor coming<lb />
from some of the steam manholes<lb />
around campus can be strong and<lb />
unpleasant.<lb />
What causes this phenom-<lb />
enon? Contrary to popular opin-<lb />
ion, it isn't a sewer line.<lb />
"The smell could possibly<lb />
occur because of ground water<lb />
that penetrates into the manhole<lb />
and steam pipe said Bill Bagnell,<lb />
director of Facilities Engineering<lb />
and Architectural Services.<lb />
Organic matter, when it<lb />
comes in contact with hot steam,<lb />
will heat up and may stink.<lb />
"The odor could be from<lb />
several different things, includ-<lb />
ing organic contaminants in the<lb />
ground Bagnell said.<lb />
However, that is just one<lb />
theory. Bagnell also suspects the<lb />
glass foam insulation used in parts<lb />
of the pipes that run in every<lb />
direction beneath the school.<lb />
"There may be some interaction<lb />
between the jacket and the pipe that<lb />
causes the odor as well Bagnell<lb />
said. The steam lines are vital to<lb />
the school and provide many func-<lb />
tions. They transport steam to all<lb />
the buildings, where it is converted<lb />
to hot water, which is what provides<lb />
heating in the winter, and hot water<lb />
for showers, for example.<lb />
In the summer, they are used<lb />
to dehumidify the air in our air<lb />
conditioning. The steam comes<lb />
in from a steam plant on 14th<lb />
Street and is transported into the<lb />
basement of the Bate building at<lb />
90-100 pounds of pressure, where<lb />
it is distributed at varying other<lb />
pressures all across campus for<lb />
whatever needs it serves.<lb />
Some of the most notable<lb />
places the "smelly steam" rises<lb />
from are the vents by Greene<lb />
Hall and in front of the Brewster<lb />
building.<lb />
"They stink and I hate walk-<lb />
ing by one said Gabrielle Frink,<lb />
freshman business major. How-<lb />
ever, plans are in the works to<lb />
 replace the steam line between<lb />
Si Greene and Clement residence<lb />
u halls on the west end of campus.<lb />
This is scheduled to take place<lb />
5 in 2008. For now, students and<lb />
e faculty will simply have to live<lb />
with the odor.<lb />
"They really stink said Kyla<lb />
Williams, freshman psychology<lb />
major.<lb />
"They might be warm in this<lb />
weather but they aren't worth the<lb />
smell. It reminds me of a dirty<lb />
bathroom<lb />
No matter how one may feel<lb />
about the manholes, though, one<lb />
thing is for certain: ECU would<lb />
not have hot water or heating at<lb />
all if it was not for those steam<lb />
pipes.<lb />

New outdoor store for adventurers<lb />
For the adventurous type<lb />
TAWANDA CARLTON<lb />
STAFF WRITER <lb />
For all of the "outdoorsy"<lb />
types there is a new store in<lb />
Greenville - The Great Outdoor<lb />
Provision Company.<lb />
Over 22 years in the making<lb />
the retail company offers every-<lb />
thing for people who really want<lb />
to Introduce themselves to the<lb />
great outdoors.<lb />
"We find a common factor is<lb />
passion for the outdoors active<lb />
lifestyle said Chuck Millsaps,<lb />
vice-president of marketing for<lb />
the company.<lb />
"It's exciting to see people<lb />
who become a part of our com-<lb />
pany<lb />
The retail company offers<lb />
clothing and tools for almost<lb />
every aspect of outdoor adven-<lb />
ture. From camping, to fly fish-<lb />
ing, to climbing, the Great Out-<lb />
door Provision Company pro-<lb />
vides the consumer with clothing<lb />
and equipment to fit an active<lb />
lifestyle.<lb />
"All clothing at Great Out-<lb />
door Provision Co. is designed<lb />

upcoming brands that you might �<lb />
not find in other places like their �<lb />

With currently 56 blue light<lb />
phones on main campus, and 20<lb />
at the Brody School of Medicine,<lb />
students use blue light phones for<lb />
a variety of safety precautions.<lb />
The blue light phone was intro-<lb />
duced to ECU 15 years ago when<lb />
the initiative to decrease crime on<lb />
college campuses began.<lb />
How do the blue lights<lb />
work?<lb />
When a crisis occurs, stu-<lb />
dents press the big button located<lb />
on the phone. This takes them<lb />
directly to the ECU Police Dis-<lb />
patch Department.<lb />
In the meantime, a bright blue<lb />
light flashes on the phone. If a<lb />
police officer is in the general area,<lb />
he or she will see the light and auto-<lb />
matically respond to it, sometimes<lb />
even before being notified.<lb />
Major Frank Knight, from the<lb />
ECU Police Department, said the<lb />
blue light is especially helpful at<lb />
night because the police officer<lb />
can easily identify the location<lb />
of the person in trouble.<lb />
Once the call is made, the<lb />
dispatch sends out the officer<lb />
on duty to that particular zone.<lb />
Depending on the location of the<lb />
call, it normally takes less than<lb />
three minutes for an officer to<lb />
rescue the victim.<lb />
Abut three years ago, a male<lb />
student was in the mall area of<lb />
central campus when what was<lb />
believed to be non-students<lb />
assaulted him after they got into<lb />
a verbal confrontation.<lb />
Several students walking by saw<lb />
the fight and used the blue light to<lb />
call the police department.<lb />
"The suspect was gone at the<lb />
time and the victim didn't want<lb />
to press charges said Knight.<lb />
How often are the blue lights<lb />
used, and do they really cut down<lb />
crime on campus?<lb />
The ECU police department,<lb />
located on 10th Street receives<lb />
about 12 calls a week from the<lb />
blue light phones. The most<lb />
common are reports of suspicious<lb />
persons around dormitories or<lb />
bicycle racks.<lb />
"But that doesn't mean<lb />
that's the amount of crimes on<lb />
campus Knight said.<lb />
Vehicle assistance and medi-<lb />
cal emergencies are the main<lb />
reasons for calls.<lb />
People will use the phone<lb />
for police escorts if buses are not<lb />
running in the early morning or<lb />
if their car is parked in unsafe<lb />
locations.<lb />
"Sometimes the individuals<lb />
with a car will break down in the<lb />
parking lot or they locked their<lb />
keys in the car Knight said.<lb />
The ECU police will provide<lb />
assistance.<lb />
In the case of medical emer-<lb />
gencies, the blue light phones<lb />
have been used in instances<lb />
when somebody has fainted or<lb />
twisted an ankle.<lb />

Wal-Mart expects healthy holiday season,<lb />
posts modest income gain through Monday<lb />
Wal-Mart gained a modest 3.8 percent in the third fiscal quarter.<lb />
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP)<lb />
� The world's largest retailer,<lb />
Wal-Mart Stores Inc posted<lb />
a modest 3.8 percent in profit<lb />
growth on Monday, but said it<lb />
expects electronics and other<lb />
general merchandise to propel<lb />
it to a healthy holiday season,<lb />
though spending may slacken<lb />
when the bills come due early<lb />
next year.<lb />
Income rose to $2.4 billion, or<lb />
57 cents per share, for the quarter<lb />
ended Oct. 31 from $2.3 billion,<lb />
or 54 cents per share, a year ago.<lb />
Earnings In the latest quarter<lb />
included three items, including<lb />
hurricane related costs, which<lb />
reduced results by $80 million,<lb />
or 2 cents per share.<lb />
Analysts surveyed by Thom-<lb />
son Financial had forecast 57<lb />
cents per share.<lb />
Revenues were $76.35 bil-<lb />
lion with sales of $75.4 billion,<lb />
an Increase of 10.1 percent over<lb />
$68.5 billion in sales for the<lb />
third quarter of fiscal 2005.<lb />
Sales at stores opened at least<lb />
a year, known as same-store<lb />
sales, rose a modest 3.8 percent.<lb />
Same-store sales are considered<lb />
an important measure of a retail-<lb />
er's health because they don't<lb />
inflate overall growth from new<lb />
store openings.<lb />
Wal-Mart shares rose 30 cents<lb />
to close at $49.30 Monday on the<lb />
 New York Stock Exchange, where<lb />
they have traded in a 52-week<lb />
range of $42.31 to $57.89.<lb />
In a conference call with inves-<lb />
tors, Wal-Mart Chief Executive<lb />
Lee Scott didn't address criticism<lb />
the company has come under for<lb />
labor and other practices except to<lb />
note Wal-Mart's critics had some<lb />
praise for the retailer's response to<lb />
Hurricane Katrina.<lb />
Scott said Wal-Mart sustained<lb />
sales despite the hurricanes,<lb />
gasoline prices that skyrocketed<lb />
in the quarter and higher home<lb />
heating bills. The hurricanes,<lb />
Katrina, Rita and Wilma closed<lb />
hundreds of Wal-Mart stores, at<lb />
least temporarily, but Wal-Mart's<lb />
third-quarter numbers held up.<lb />
Scott called the quarter a<lb />
"pretty good performance in a<lb />
difficult environment<lb />
"I believe we will have a<lb />
good holiday season Scott said.<lb />
He noted that the hurricanes<lb />
would in the longer term improve<lb />
employment and the economy<lb />
but said January and February<lb />
could be difficult months when<lb />
holiday bills come due and higher<lb />
heating oil and natural gas prices<lb />
have a greater impact.<lb />
Analyst Dan Hess, president<lb />
and chief executive of Mer-<lb />
chant Forecast, a New York-based<lb />
independent research company,<lb />
agreed that Wal-Mart should do<lb />
well for the holiday.<lb />
"With Wal-Mart, it's not just<lb />
about the numbers and the fore-<lb />
cast. All types of social issues play<lb />
a role in the public perception of<lb />
Wal-Mart Hess said.<lb />
So far, the public is voting<lb />
with its feet and is continuing<lb />
to shop at Wal-Mart stores, he<lb />
said.<lb />
"The issues of conscience,<lb />
right now at least, appear to be<lb />
affecting the stock price more<lb />
than affecting sales Hess said.<lb />
"At the end of the day, Wal-Mart<lb />
is taking market share away from<lb />
other retailers<lb />
"I think Wal-Mart is gaining<lb />
back some momentum in general<lb />
merchandise Hess said. "Their<lb />
push toward electronics is going<lb />
to be successful<lb />
After a slow start to the Christ-<lb />
mas season last year, Wal-Mart has<lb />
promised to be more aggressive<lb />
with discounts and its push to get<lb />
shoppers to buy early for the holi-<lb />
day 2005 season. The company<lb />
launched Its holiday advertising<lb />
campaign on Nov. 1, a few weeks<lb />
earlier than last year.<lb />
Wal-Mart forecast fourth-<lb />
quarter earnings of 82 cents to<lb />
86 cents per share, $2.64 to $2.68<lb />
for the year. Analysts surveyed<lb />
by Thomson Financial forecast<lb />
quarterly income of 84 cents per<lb />
share and $2.64 per share for<lb />
the year.<lb />
Same-store sales are forecast<lb />
to rise between 3 percent and 5<lb />
percent for the fourth quarter,<lb />
Chief Financial Officer Tom<lb />
Schoewe said.<lb />
Vice chairman John Menzer<lb />
said customers are starting to see<lb />
stores that are less cluttered, part<lb />
of a restructuring that is putting<lb />
a focus on "close-to-the-customer<lb />
decision making<lb />
Kurt Barnard, president of<lb />
Barnard's Retail Forecasting in<lb />
Nutley, N.J said he expects the<lb />
company to make greater inroads<lb />
in fashion with its George and<lb />
new Metro7 lines. Wal-Mart is<lb />
also selling shoes made by Nike<lb />
under the Starter brand.<lb />
Still, Candace Corlett, a prin-<lb />
cipal at retail consulting firm<lb />
WSL Strategic Retail said Wal-<lb />
Mart will have to make a special<lb />
effort for its apparel lines to be a<lb />
success, something that will take<lb />
longer than this holiday season.<lb />
"You can't treat apparel like<lb />
underwear and socks, especially<lb />
if it is fashionable clothing Cor-<lb />
lett said. "You've got to present<lb />
an image, and that's what (Wal-<lb />
Mart Is) not so good at<lb />
"Do they have the brilliance<lb />
to do that? Absolutely. Will<lb />
they? I don't know Corlett said.<lb />
"Apparel aside, the shopability<lb />
of a Wal-Mart store has become<lb />
a real issue<lb />
For the first nine months of<lb />
the year, Wal-Mart earned $7.6<lb />
billion, or $1.82 a share, versus<lb />
$7.1 billion, or $1.66 a share, a<lb />
year ago. Nine-month sales rose<lb />
to $223.2 billion from $203<lb />
billion a year ago.<lb />

State<lb />
Supreme Court won't take up 'In<lb />
God We Trust' case<lb />
WASHINGTON (AP) - Leaders of a<lb />
North Carolina county can keep "In<lb />
God We Trust" on their government<lb />
building, after challengers lost a<lb />
Supreme Court appeal on Monday.<lb />
Justices did not comment in rejecting<lb />
an appeal over the Inscription on<lb />
the Davidson County government<lb />
building in Lexington, NC The action<lb />
had been expected.<lb />
The court has over the years avoided<lb />
confronting the issue directly as<lb />
to whether these kinds of public<lb />
religious messages of a ceremonial<lb />
or symbolic nature are impermissibly<lb />
religious said Keith Werhan, a law<lb />
professor at Tulane University in New<lb />
Orleans. "I suspect it's a question of<lb />
letting sleeping dogs lie<lb />
Earlier this year justices were<lb />
splintered on the appropriateness of<lb />
Ten Commandments displays in and<lb />
near government buildings.<lb />
The inscription at issue in the Supreme<lb />
Court case, in 18-inch block letters,<lb />
was paid for with donations from<lb />
individuals and churches in 2002. It is<lb />
more prominent than the name of the<lb />
building, according to opponents.<lb />
Charles F. Lambeth Jr. and Michael<lb />
D. Lea, two lawyers who regularly<lb />
practice in the building, filed the<lb />
lawsuit.<lb />
A panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court<lb />
of Appeals said that "In God We<lb />
Trust" appears on the nation's coins<lb />
and was made the national motto by<lb />
Congress.<lb />
'In this situation, the reasonable<lb />
observer must be deemed aware<lb />
of the patriotic uses, both historical<lb />
and present, of the phrase 'In God<lb />
We Trust the court ruled.<lb />
George Daly, the Charlotte, NC,<lb />
attorney for opponents of the<lb />
Inscription, told justices in a filing<lb />
that "In God We Trust' is the national<lb />
motto, but it is also a religious creed,<lb />
a statement of communal religious<lb />
belief<lb />
James Morgan Jr the county's<lb />
attorney, said that Ten Commandments<lb />
displays are different from "In God We<lb />
Trust which has "been displayed for<lb />
decades on government buildings<lb />
and on the coins and paper money<lb />
The case is Lambeth v. Board of<lb />
Commissioners of Davidson County,<lb />

National<lb />
Report: FDA decision-making<lb />
on emergency contraception<lb />
'unusual'<lb />
WASHINGTON (AP) - Federal health<lb />
officials took unusual steps in<lb />
rejecting nonprescription sales of<lb />
emergency contraception and some<lb />
documents suggest the decision was<lb />
made even before scientists finished<lb />
reviewing the evidence, congressional<lb />
investigators concluded.<lb />
An independent audit made public<lb />
Monday found the Food and Drug<lb />
Administration's May 2004 rejection<lb />
of the politically charged morning-<lb />
after pill deviated from 10 years of<lb />
agency practice in switching drugs<lb />
from prescription to over-the-counter<lb />
sales.<lb />
Long-suspicious members of<lb />
Congress Immediately declared that<lb />
politics had trumped science, and<lb />
urged the FDA's boss to intervene<lb />
to assure that a still pending<lb />
reconsideration of the pill's fate isn't<lb />
based on ideology.<lb />
"We are deeply opposed to this<lb />
subversion of science Rep. Henry<lb />
Waxman, D-Calif and 17 other<lb />
lawmakers wrote Health and Human<lb />
Services Secretary Mike Leavitt on<lb />
Monday. "It appears that the decision<lb />
 was preordained from the outset<lb />
Also, the lawmakers asked Leavitt<lb />
to probe whether the FDA illegally<lb />
destroyed documents from the<lb />
office of then-Commissioner Mark<lb />
McClellan, now the government's<lb />
Medicare chief that might have<lb />
shed more light on the controversial<lb />
decision.<lb />
Leavitt's office didn't return phone<lb />
calls seeking comment.<lb />
But In a statement, the FDA stood by<lb />
its rejection and said the independent<lb />
Government Accountability Office<lb />
"mischaracterizes facts<lb />
Monday's report is the latest blow to<lb />
the credibility of an agency that by<lb />
law is supposed to base decisions<lb />
on science, not politics or industry<lb />
pressure. Top-ranking FDA officials<lb />
have acknowledged they overruled<lb />
their own scientists' decision that<lb />
nonprescription sales of emergency<lb />
birth control would be safe and<lb />
the agency's women's health chief<lb />
resigned in protest.<lb />
A high dose of regular birth control,<lb />
the morning-after pill lowers the risk<lb />
of pregnancy by up to 89 percent if<lb />
taken within 72 hours of unprotected<lb />
sex. The sooner it's taken, the better<lb />
it works, but It can be difficult for<lb />
women to get a prescription in time.<lb />
In December 2003, FDA's scientific<lb />
advisers overwhelmingly backed<lb />
over-the-counter sales of one brand,<lb />
Plan B, for all ages. They cited<lb />
assessments that easier access<lb />
could halve the nation's 3 million<lb />
annual unintended pregnancies.<lb />
Conservatives who consider the pill<lb />
tantamount to abortion intensely<lb />
lobbied the Bush administration to<lb />
reject nonprescription sales, saying<lb />
they would increase teen sex.<lb />
In May 2004, FDA leaders rejected the<lb />
nonprescription switch, saying there<lb />
was no data proving anyone under<lb />
16 could safely use the pills without<lb />
a doctor's guidance.<lb />
Maker Barr Laboratories reapplied,<lb />
seeking to sell Plan B without a<lb />
prescription to women 16 or older,<lb />
much like the way cigarettes are<lb />
sold with age restrictions, while<lb />
younger teens would still have to get a<lb />
doctor's note. In August, FDA leaders<lb />
postponed that decision indefinitely,<lb />
saying it wasn't clear how to enforce<lb />
an age limit.<lb />
The GAO probed the FDA's initial<lb />
rejection, and cited "unusual"<lb />
practices including conflicting<lb />
accounts of whether the decision<lb />
was made months before scientific<lb />
reviews were completed.<lb />
World<lb />
Mexico and Venezuela sever<lb />
diplomatic relations after name-<lb />
calling dispute<lb />
MEXICO CITY (AP) - Venezuelan<lb />
President Hugo Chavez accused<lb />
Mexican leader Vicente Fox of being<lb />
a "puppy" of President Bush and said:<lb />
"Don't mess with me, sir Fox shot back<lb />
on Mondaythat "we have dignity In this<lb />
country" and demanded an apology.<lb />
Now the two nations are withdrawing<lb />
their ambassadors.<lb />
The severing of diplomatic relations<lb />
came after a week of verbal sparring<lb />
that highlighted Latin America's<lb />
differences over free trade and<lb />
relations with the United States. The<lb />
conservative Fox tends to side with<lb />
Washington on many issues, while<lb />
Chavez, a socialist and populist,<lb />
has been one of the hemisphere's<lb />
strongest critics of Bush.<lb />
Venezuela's president has repeatedly<lb />
accused Fox of being a "puppy"<lb />
of American interests and of<lb />
disrespecting him after the pair<lb />
took opposing positions during this<lb />
month's Summit of the Americas.<lb />
On Sunday, Chavez used his weekly<lb />
radio and TV shows to warn Fox:<lb />
"Don't mess with me, sir, because<lb />
you'll get stung<lb />
Fox retorted in an interview with<lb />
CNN: "Other countries might<lb />
accept (Chavez's) wording and<lb />
the way he attacks everybody and<lb />
he attacks institutions. We are<lb />
not willing to do that in Mexico<lb />
Venezuela called its ambassador<lb />
home Monday rather than apologize<lb />
for the remark, and Mexico responded<lb />
by recalling its own envoy to Venezuela.<lb />
Fox said his government was mulling<lb />
Its next move.<lb />
"We can't allow people to offend our<lb />
country he told CNN en Espanol.<lb />
Venezuelan Ambassador to Mexico<lb />
Vladimir Villegas said he would fly to<lb />
his homeland aboard a commercial<lb />
flight Monday night.<lb />
"The whole world knows that this<lb />
didn't begin on the Venezuelan side<lb />
Villegas said.<lb />
When asked what the driving issue<lb />
was behind the flap, he said, "look<lb />
a little bit north" a reference to the<lb />
United States.<lb />
Tensions between Fox and Chavez<lb />
spilled over after the summit in<lb />
Argentina, where Fox defended a<lb />
U.Sbacked proposal for a Free<lb />
Trade Area of the Americas. Chavez<lb />
proclaimed the Idea dead.<lb />
They reached a breaking point late<lb />
Sunday, when Mexico Issued a<lb />
statement saying Chavez's latest barb<lb />
"strikes at the dignity of the Mexican<lb />
people and government<lb />
Early Monday, Fox's spokesman,<lb />
Ruben Aguilar, said Mexico would<lb />
expel the ambassador if Venezuela<lb />
didn't apologize by midnight.<lb />
Hours later in Venezuela, Foreign<lb />
Secretary Ali Rodriguez said his country<lb />
would not accept Mexico's demands.<lb />
Venezuela "rejects as an unjustified<lb />
attack the ultimatum issued by the<lb />
government of Mexico Rodriguez<lb />
said. "This situation is entirely the<lb />
responsibility of President Fox<lb />
Fox responded by saying he was<lb />
going to continue to fight for free trade.<lb />
Aguilar said withdrawing ambassadors<lb />
wouldn't mean severing ties<lb />
completely with Venezuela because<lb />
business and cultural relations<lb />
would remain Intact. The Economy<lb />
Department released a statement<lb />
Monday afternoon detailing trade ties<lb />
between the two oil-rich nations.<lb />
Iraqi detainees claim soldiers mem,<lb />
threw them into a cage of lions<lb />
Lions' teeth can crush bones.<lb />
WASHINGTON (AP) � Two<lb />
Iraqi businessmen, who were<lb />
imprisoned by U.S. forces in Iraq,<lb />
claimed Monday that American<lb />
soldiers threw them into a cage<lb />
of lions in a Baghdad palace, as<lb />
part of a terrifying interrogation<lb />
in 2003.<lb />
"They took me behind the<lb />
cage, they were screaming at me,<lb />
scaring me and beating me a lot<lb />
Thahe Mohammed Sabbar said<lb />
in an interview. "One of the sol-<lb />
diers would open the door, and<lb />
two soldiers would push me in.<lb />
The lions came running toward<lb />
me and they pulled me out and<lb />
shut the door. I completely lost<lb />
consciousness<lb />
Army spokesman Paul Boyce<lb />
said he has never heard of lions<lb />
being used in any detainee opera-<lb />
tions and it has never come up in<lb />
any of the more than 400 inves-<lb />
tigations into detainee abuse<lb />
conducted by the military over<lb />
the past three years.<lb />
"We take every allegation of<lb />
detainee abuse seriously Boyce<lb />
said. "But it does seem unusual<lb />
that this is now coming out for<lb />
the very first time after three<lb />
years of investigations<lb />
Sabbar, 37, andSherzad Kamal<lb />
Khalid, 35, are in the United<lb />
States this week to talk about<lb />
the lawsuit that the American<lb />
Civil Liberties Union and Human<lb />
Rights First filed on their behalf<lb />
against Defense Secretary Donald<lb />
H. Rumsfeld and other military<lb />
officials.<lb />
The suit, which was filed in<lb />
March and transferred to U.S.<lb />
District Court in Washington,<lb />
details alleged sexual abuse,<lb />
mock executions, water and<lb />
food deprivation, electric shock<lb />
and other torture used on eight<lb />
detainees, including Sabbar and<lb />
Khalid. It does not mention the<lb />
lion cage.<lb />
The two men described the<lb />
July day in 2003 when they were<lb />
arrested by American troops<lb />
with guns and armored vehicles.<lb />
They said they were covered with<lb />
plastic hoods and repeatedly<lb />
struck by soldiers using the butt<lb />
of their guns.<lb />
They both described standing<lb />
in front of a lion cage, and said<lb />
they could hear other prison-<lb />
ers screaming as the metal cage<lb />
door creaked open and slammed<lb />
shut.<lb />
"They threatened that if I did<lb />
not confess they would put me<lb />
in the cage said Khalid, adding<lb />
that the soldiers kept asking him<lb />
where Saddam was. "I laughed, I<lb />
thought they were kidding me.<lb />
They asked where are the weap-<lb />
ons of mass destruction. I was<lb />
very surprised and I thought it<lb />
was weird<lb />
But when he laughed, he said,<lb />
he was only beaten more. And he<lb />
said they pushed him into the<lb />
cage three times, pulling him out<lb />
as the lions moved toward him.<lb />
Both men said they suffer<lb />
continuing physical and psy-<lb />
chological trauma, such as pain,<lb />
ulcers, nightmares and insom-<lb />
nia.<lb />
Sabbar said he was held by<lb />
U.S. forces for about six months,<lb />
while Khalid was held for about<lb />
two months.<lb />
Saddam Hussein's eldest son,<lb />
Odai, kept lions in his compound<lb />
at the presidential palace, which<lb />
was taken over by U.S. troops<lb />
during the war. He was killed<lb />
in a gun battle with American<lb />
soldiers in July 2003.<lb />
Federal coordinator cannot promise levees<lb />
strong enough for a Katrina-sized storm<lb />
way around campus and the<lb />
police dispatch will give them<lb />
directions.<lb />
From the dozen calls received<lb />
weekly, three to four are prank<lb />
calls, most of which are reported<lb />
Thursday - Saturday between 2 - 3<lb />
a.m. when kids are coming back<lb />
from downtownKnight said.<lb />
When asked if the blue light<lb />
phones have decreased crime on<lb />
campus, Knight said it is hard to<lb />
see if they have prevented a crime<lb />
without it actually happening<lb />
"It adds a greater sense of<lb />
security for the students know-<lb />
ing that they have emergency<lb />
communications with the police<lb />
department Knight said.<lb />
To increase security, new stan-<lb />
dards require the blue light phones<lb />
to be located within 300 feet (one<lb />
football field) of each other,<lb />
especially around new buildings.<lb />
With new construction,<lb />
including the new Brody School<lb />
of Medicine and new dormitories,<lb />
the blue lights are automatically<lb />
in the construction plans.<lb />
"There are a few lights that<lb />
aren't, but that would be under<lb />
the old standards Knight said.<lb />
On campus, there are three<lb />
patrol zones officers are assigned<lb />
to: Zone A covers the Flanagan<lb />
building through the west end of<lb />
campus. Zone B includes Wright<lb />
Circle toward the Fletcher music<lb />
building. Zone C consists of Col-<lb />
lege Hill to the Minges parking<lb />
lot and athletic complex.<lb />
The police department gives<lb />
high priority to isolated areas<lb />
such as parking lots and highly<lb />
traveled areas. That is why it is<lb />
more important to have more<lb />
patrol coverage in those areas.<lb />
If two reports happen at the<lb />
same time, two different offi-<lb />
cers will be sent simultaneously<lb />
towards the different zones,<lb />
Knight said.<lb />
"Depending on personnel<lb />
availability we, a lot of times have<lb />
two officers assigned to each<lb />
zone Knight said.<lb />
On weekends, Knight makes<lb />
sure to have additional patrols<lb />
usually in zones that require<lb />
more safety enforcement, like<lb />
Zone A near west campus and<lb />
downtown.<lb />
Aside from the blue light<lb />
phones, another safety pre-<lb />
caution on campus is the 19<lb />
call boxes located on the front<lb />
entrances at every resident hall.<lb />
People may call the residents<lb />
inside or they may dial 911 to get<lb />
the police department.<lb />
Each semester the police<lb />
department does a safety walk<lb />
on campus along with University<lb />
Housing, Student Life and SGA<lb />
to make sure the campus has<lb />
enough security in the appropri-<lb />
ate locations.<lb />
During the walk, if blue light<lb />
phones are identified more than<lb />
300 feet away from each other,<lb />
Knight said the police depart-<lb />
ment tries to find a good location<lb />
to make sure they are all within<lb />
the correct distance.<lb />
Every semester, at least two or<lb />
three blue light phones are added<lb />
on campus.<lb />
Student Patrol officers also<lb />
check the blue light phones on<lb />
a weekly basis. They push the<lb />
button to make sure the light and<lb />
the audio are working properly,<lb />
Knight said.<lb />

WASHINGTON (AP) � The<lb />
federal coordinator for Gulf Coast<lb />
recovery efforts said Monday<lb />
he will focus on ensuring the<lb />
region's levees are stronger than<lb />
they were before Hurricane<lb />
Katrina but cannot offer assur-<lb />
ances that they could withstand<lb />
another storm of that size.<lb />
Donald Powell said he might<lb />
not be able to quantify how<lb />
long-term recovery efforts are<lb />
progressing for at least eight<lb />
months in the devastated region<lb />
that he compared to a war zone.<lb />
However, he said he and local<lb />
authorities need to focus first<lb />
on security making sure that<lb />
levees can withstand another<lb />
huge storm.<lb />
"I think New Orleans and<lb />
Louisiana need to be safe Powell<lb />
said in an interview with The<lb />
Associated Press.<lb />
However, "I'm not sure what<lb />
the science dictates Powell said<lb />
when asked if t he levees would be<lb />
rebuilt to withstand a Category 5<lb />
hurricane, as Gulf Coast officials<lb />
have requested. "Clearly, I think<lb />
they're going to be rebuilt up to<lb />
a Level 3 but  they were not a<lb />
Level 3 when the storm came. And<lb />
then study and understand what<lb />
the science is to get to a Level 5<lb />
"But the levees clearly are<lb />
important he said.<lb />
Katrina was a Category 4<lb />
storm when it slammed into the<lb />
coast on Aug. 29. A Category 5<lb />
storm is considered a catastrophic-<lb />
event, the worst in the five-step<lb />
rating system, with winds of 1SS<lb />
mph or more and a storm surge<lb />
greater than 18 feet above normal.<lb />
A midlevel Category 3 storm<lb />
packs winds between 111 and 130<lb />
mph and a storm surge between<lb />
9 and 12 feet above normal.<lb />
The Louisiana Recovery<lb />
Authority estimates that rebuild-<lb />
ing levees could cost $20 billion<lb />
over the next six to eight years.<lb />
Agency vice chair Walter Issac-<lb />
son said a top priority remains<lb />
"adequate hurricane protection"<lb />
with levees that can withstand a<lb />
Category 5 storm.<lb />
Powell, a soft-spoken, easygo-<lb />
ing Texan, steps down Wednes-<lb />
day as chairman of the Federal<lb />
Deposit Insurance Corp. to focus<lb />
on Gulf Coast recovery full-time.<lb />
He described his new post as an<lb />
independent conduit between<lb />
state and local authorities in<lb />
the region who are developing<lb />
rebuilding plans, and Congress<lb />
and Bush administration officials<lb />
who will help fund them.<lb />
A former banker and Texas<lb />
A&amp;M University administrator,<lb />
Powell could not immediately<lb />
estimate how much rebuilding<lb />
the region will cost or how much<lb />
Congress will need to contribute.<lb />
The Louisiana agency,<lb />
appointed by Gov. Kathleen<lb />
Blanco, also has asked for $200<lb />
million in emergency small<lb />
business loans. Levee protec-<lb />
tion and keeping the local econ-<lb />
omy in business remain its top<lb />
priorities.<lb />
The agency was unhappy<lb />
when It learned that the state's<lb />
two senators, Democrat Mary<lb />
Landrieu and Republican David<lb />
Vitter, sought $250 billion from<lb />
Congress to help the state recover.<lb />
The request has never been<lb />
approved.<lb />
"It squandered our credibil-<lb />
ity, totally Issacson said. "We<lb />
realize in this economic climate<lb />
we can't ask the nation to come<lb />
rebuild Louisiana. We've got to<lb />
rebuild it ourselves. And there's<lb />
a silver lining because Louisiana<lb />
shouldn't be a ward of the fed<lb />
government. It should be able to<lb />
rebuild itself<lb />

My Random Column<lb />
Multitasking?<lb />
Good or Bad?<lb />
I was asked today what I was doing - my<lb />
answer was "What am I not doing?" I am the<lb />
queen of getting as off track as I can while<lb />
still doing 50 things at once, and not a one of<lb />
them is related. But I am still not doing what<lb />
I need to be doing.<lb />
How in the world do people who have a<lb />
million things to do get them all done at the<lb />
same time. Now don't get me wrong, I have<lb />
the ability to walk and chew gum at the same<lb />
time, but I am such a procrastinator that when<lb />
I have two papers, lesson plans, a project<lb />
and then work to do I just sit there and stare<lb />
Z"rZZZ:Z When do we help and when do we look away?<lb />
Opinion Columnist<lb />
I need to be doing what I was supposed to<lb />
be doing in the first place.<lb />
This column, for example, is almost the last<lb />
thing to go in every week because I get so<lb />
distracted all day that my glorious copy edi-<lb />
tors watch me like a hawk until I am done.<lb />
They help me come up with topics and cre-<lb />
ativity for my next installment in this wonderful<lb />
newspaper so I can get through the night.<lb />
I have a project due today, and though I have<lb />
done most of it, I have to type it up before<lb />
today at 1 p.m. I ponder waiting until last<lb />
minute and decide that I am going to get it<lb />
done. Then something gets in the way, again<lb />
for the hundredth time.<lb />
Multitasking used to be my friend - in high<lb />
school I could do multiple things and once<lb />

I love being here and free of high school, but<lb />

Out-Foxed by a Cat<lb />
BENJAMIN CORMACK<lb />
CAUSAL OBSERVER<lb />
Have you ever heard what agi-<lb />
tated squirrels sound like? They<lb />
sound like extremely small dogs,<lb />
letting out short, raspy barks. To<lb />
put it another way, they sound<lb />
like an extremely ticked-off bird.<lb />
Either way, it is one of the most<lb />
annoying sounds I've ever heard.<lb />
When I was walking near Belk<lb />
Residence Hall and heard several<lb />
of them making that sound, I<lb />
somehow felt compelled to figure<lb />
out what the fuss was all about.<lb />
If anything, I thought, maybe I<lb />
could shut-up those annoying<lb />
squirrels.<lb />
So I'm walking around the<lb />
area, trying to see if I notice any-<lb />
thing that might cause a bunch<lb />
of squirrels to act so well<lb />
squirrelly. Then I noticed a cat<lb />
walking near some bushes. He<lb />
was an orange and white striped<lb />
cat, male I think, and kind of<lb />
big - he kind of reminded me of<lb />
Garfield. Which would probably<lb />
explain why I acted the way I did<lb />
in this situation.<lb />
Now I'm not a cat person<lb />
- I don't really like cats, mostly<lb />
because I'm allergic to them.<lb />
Those of you with similar aller-<lb />
gies can understand why I do<lb />
all I can to avoid them. Yet<lb />
with this cat, something was<lb />
different. Maybe it was because<lb />
he reminded me of Garfield, or<lb />
maybe it is because I'm a softy<lb />
when it comes to animals, but I<lb />
called out to the little guy: "Here<lb />
kitty kitty kitty. Here kitty kitty<lb />
kitty The little guy then trotted<lb />
over to me, started meowing,<lb />
rubbing-up against my leg, basi-<lb />
cally doing all he could to melt<lb />
my heart and succeeding.<lb />
So being the big softy that I<lb />
am, I went over to the Subway<lb />
Shop in the West End Dining<lb />
Hall and bought him some milk.<lb />
I even got him some cream. It<lb />
was that Irish Coffee cream stuff<lb />
in the little containers. I don't<lb />
know if was meant for cats, but I<lb />
had heard at some point that cats<lb />
liked cream. So I figured, why<lb />
not. This other guy, 1 think he<lb />
may have been a grad student or<lb />
a young professor or something,<lb />
had some tuna and gave the cat<lb />
some of it. I then put the milk<lb />
and cream in a plastic container<lb />
I got from the store. He lapped it<lb />
up quite happily. I coaxed him<lb />
over to a sunnier spot, away from<lb />
the walkway where he might get<lb />
in someone's way. He seemed<lb />
quite content.<lb />
I was about to leave him<lb />
when he brushed-up against my<lb />
leg. "You sure know how to make<lb />
a guy feel guilty, don't you?" I<lb />
said. I didn't know what to do.<lb />
I didn't want to leave him there<lb />
all by himself, but I couldn't take<lb />
care of a cat. As if he read my<lb />
mind, he then went over to the<lb />
bushes to hide his face from me<lb />
as if to not make me feel guilty.<lb />
So I left the little guy with milk<lb />
for him and a little sadness in<lb />
my heart.<lb />
The next day I had a thought:<lb />
that cat was extremely friendly<lb />
for a stray. Most of the cats I've<lb />
seen wandering around campus<lb />
try to avoid people, which makes<lb />
me think that cat may have actu-<lb />
ally been somebody's pet. Which<lb />
means that cat may have tricked<lb />
me into giving him free milk. It is<lb />
because of this incident that I'm<lb />
reminded of why I prefer dogs.<lb />
Now getting played by a cat<lb />
is something I can live with, and<lb />
I can even laugh about it. What<lb />
I can't stand is when people play<lb />
me like this cat did. Those of you<lb />
who have ever been to the Harris<lb />
Teeter near campus at night may<lb />
have met someone begging for<lb />
money because they're hungry<lb />
and have no money. One time<lb />
I was even told by one woman,<lb />
who barely had any teeth, I met<lb />
near Michael's that she needed<lb />
money to pay for a cab because<lb />
her car was being worked on after<lb />
breaking down or something<lb />
along those lines I can't quite<lb />
remember.<lb />
Now I'm more than happy<lb />
to help out my fellow man, but<lb />
when I see these people, after<lb />
giving them money, going away<lb />
from the grocery store, a place<lb />
that sells food, I can't but feel<lb />
like I've been swindled. I feel<lb />
like they're going to spend my<lb />
own money that I gave them<lb />
out of the kindness of my heart<lb />
on liquor, drugs or something<lb />
worse. All of this after telling<lb />
me, "God bless you Frankly I<lb />
feel ashamed of not only myself<lb />
for believing them, but for them<lb />
having to resort to such means<lb />
to get money for whatever it may<lb />
be they want money for. What<lb />
I mean is that I feel cheated by<lb />
those who lie to me and spend<lb />
the money on something instead<lb />
of food or whatever their initial<lb />
need for the money was. I get<lb />
even angrier when I think about<lb />
how it is because of the liars and<lb />
cheaters out there that people are<lb />
so unwilling to help those who<lb />
really need it.<lb />
More than likely I'll be in that<lb />
area of Greenville again, and I'll<lb />
probably meet another person<lb />
with another story about how<lb />
they don't have any money and<lb />
they're hungry, and I will more<lb />
than likely end-up giving them<lb />
money. Why? Because for every<lb />
hundred liars and swindlers out<lb />
there, I'd like to think there is at<lb />
least one person who really needs<lb />
it - one person that I can actually<lb />
help - one good deed that I can<lb />
actually do. All that considered,<lb />
I guess helping that one person<lb />
is what really matters. The same<lb />
goes for cats, even if I think dogs<lb />
are better.<lb />
In My Opinion<lb />
(KRT) � PHILADELPHIA<lb />
- Samuel A. Alito Jr. is Catho-<lb />
lic, and his mother has said he<lb />
opposes abortion. And when<lb />
he sought a Justice Department<lb />
promotion in 198S, he expressed<lb />
support for the view that the<lb />
Constitution "does not protect a<lb />
right to an abortion<lb />
But Alito, the federal appeals<lb />
judge nominated to succeed<lb />
Justice Sandra Day O'Connor on<lb />
the nation's highest court, has<lb />
shown respect for precedent. In<lb />
a 1997 ruling, he said he agreed<lb />
with the "essential point" his<lb />
fellow judges had made: That the<lb />
Supreme Court has held that a<lb />
fetus is not a "person" under the<lb />
14th Amendment.<lb />
Alito's rulings on the Phila-<lb />
delphia-based U.S. Court of<lb />
Appeals for the Third Circuit<lb />
offer no clear signs whether he<lb />
would move to affirm or over-<lb />
turn "Roe v. Wade, the landmark<lb />
1973 abortion-rights ruling.<lb />
But newly released documents<lb />
from his tenure with the Jus-<lb />
tice Department triggered more<lb />
intense questioning Tuesday on<lb />
Capitol Hill.<lb />
Sen. Dianne Felnstein, D-<lb />
Calif an abortion-rights sup-<lb />
porter and the only woman on<lb />
the Judiciary Committee, told<lb />
The Associated Press that Alito<lb />
told her he had merely been "an<lb />
advocate seeking a job" when he<lb />
made his 1985 comments about<lb />
abortion.<lb />
"He said first of all it was dif-<lb />
ferent then she said. "He said,<lb />
I was an advocate seeking a job,<lb />
it was a political job and that was<lb />
1985. I'm now a judge, I've been<lb />
on the circuit court for 15 years,<lb />
and it's very different. I'm not<lb />
an advocate, I don't give heed to<lb />
my personal views; what I do is<lb />
interpret the law<lb />
Feinstein said she believed<lb />
him.<lb />
With Alito's confirmation<lb />
hearing set to begin Jan. 9, sena-<lb />
tors as well as liberal and conser-<lb />
vative interest groups are trying<lb />
to figure out Alito's approach<lb />
to stare decisis, the Latin term<lb />
for the legal principle that prior<lb />
court decisions should be recog-<lb />
nized as precedents - and not<lb />
easily overturned.<lb />
"As a lower-court judge, he<lb />
has to be in lock-step with prec-<lb />
edent said Jeffrey M. Shaman,<lb />
a constitutional-law scholar at<lb />
DePaul University in Chicago.<lb />
"But once he's on the Supreme<lb />
Court, he doesn't have to<lb />
Alito, 55, has tackled ques-<lb />
tions about abortion in a number<lb />
of cases in his 15 years on the<lb />
appeals court.<lb />
He voted in 2000 to strike<lb />
down New Jersey's ban on so-<lb />
called partial-birth abortion,<lb />
and in 1995 to bar restrictions<lb />
on Medicaid-funded abortions.<lb />
And in a key 1991 case, Alito<lb />
voted to uphold most of Pennsyl-<lb />
vania's abortion-control law, and<lb />
wrote that it was not an "undue<lb />
burden" to require a woman to<lb />
notify her husband before an<lb />
abortion.<lb />
In that case, Planned Parent-<lb />
hood v. Casey, the Supreme Court<lb />
ultimately reaffirmed the right to<lb />
abortion, but struck down the<lb />
spousal-notification provision<lb />
Alito had sought to uphold.<lb />
Shaman said that he thought<lb />
Alito would have dissented in<lb />
Roe, and that the big question<lb />
now was how Alito's view of stare<lb />
decisis would come into play<lb />
the next time an abortion case<lb />
reaches the court.<lb />
"It's very difficult to figure<lb />
out where he will come down,<lb />
because so much depends upon<lb />
 how much respect he has to<lb />
whether or not Roe and Casey are<lb />
established law Shaman said.<lb />
"We don't get much of a sense<lb />
about Judge Alito as to where he<lb />
is with regard to when it's proper<lb />
to overrule a decision<lb />
Susan Low Bloch, a constitu-<lb />
tional law expert at Georgetown<lb />
University, said Alito's Third<lb />
Circuit opinions did not offer<lb />
much insight. "You can tell very<lb />
little from his court of appeals<lb />
rulings said Bloch, other than<lb />
"he's very good at following<lb />
precedent<lb />
The newly released 1985<lb />
document, she said, will make<lb />
Alito more vulnerable to ques-<lb />
tions about his views on Roe.<lb />
Alito's long-ago remark, she said,<lb />
"raises a- question of what he<lb />
would think about overturning<lb />
it now - 30 years later<lb />

State<lb />
Supreme Court won't take up 'In<lb />
God We Trust' case<lb />
WASHINGTON (AP) - Leaders of a<lb />
North Carolina county can keep "In<lb />
God We Trust" on their government<lb />
building, after challengers lost a<lb />
Supreme Court appeal on Monday.<lb />
Justices did not comment in rejecting<lb />
an appeal over the Inscription on<lb />
the Davidson County government<lb />
building in Lexington, NC The action<lb />
had been expected.<lb />
The court has over the years avoided<lb />
confronting the issue directly as<lb />
to whether these kinds of public<lb />
religious messages of a ceremonial<lb />
or symbolic nature are impermissibly<lb />
religious said Keith Werhan, a law<lb />
professor at Tulane University in New<lb />
Orleans. "I suspect it's a question of<lb />
letting sleeping dogs lie<lb />
Earlier this year justices were<lb />
splintered on the appropriateness of<lb />
Ten Commandments displays in and<lb />
near government buildings.<lb />
The inscription at issue in the Supreme<lb />
Court case, in 18-inch block letters,<lb />
was paid for with donations from<lb />
individuals and churches in 2002. It is<lb />
more prominent than the name of the<lb />
building, according to opponents.<lb />
Charles F. Lambeth Jr. and Michael<lb />
D. Lea, two lawyers who regularly<lb />
practice in the building, filed the<lb />
lawsuit.<lb />
A panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court<lb />
of Appeals said that "In God We<lb />
Trust" appears on the nation's coins<lb />
and was made the national motto by<lb />
Congress.<lb />
"In this situation, the reasonable<lb />
observer must be deemed aware<lb />
of the patriotic uses, both historical<lb />
and present, of the phrase 'In God<lb />
We Trust the court ruled.<lb />
George Daly, the Charlotte, NC,<lb />
attorney for opponents of the<lb />
inscription, told justices in a filing<lb />
that "In God We Trust' is the national<lb />
motto, but it is also a religious creed,<lb />
a statement of communal religious<lb />
belief<lb />
James Morgan Jr the county's<lb />
attorney, said that Ten Com mandments<lb />
displays are different from "In God We<lb />
Trust which has "been displayed for<lb />
decades on government buildings<lb />
and on the coins and paper money<lb />
The case is Lambeth v. Board of<lb />
Commissioners of Davidson County,<lb />

rejecting nonprescriptlon sales of<lb />
emergency contraception and some<lb />
documents suggest the decision was<lb />
made even before scientists finished<lb />
reviewing the evidence, congressional<lb />
investigators concluded.<lb />
An independent audit made public<lb />
Monday found the Food and Drug<lb />
Administration's May 2004 rejection<lb />
of the politically charged morning-<lb />
after pill deviated from 10 years of<lb />
agency practice in switching drugs<lb />
from prescription to over-the-counter<lb />
sales.<lb />
Long-suspicious members of<lb />
Congress Immediately declared that<lb />
politics had trumped science, and<lb />
urged the FDA's boss to intervene<lb />
to assure that a still pending<lb />
reconsideration of the pill's fate isn't<lb />
based on ideology.<lb />
"We are deeply opposed to this<lb />
subversion of science Rep. Henry<lb />
Waxman, D-Calif and 17 other<lb />
lawmakers wrote Health and Human<lb />
Services Secretary Mike Leavitt on<lb />
Monday. "It appears that the decision<lb />
 was preordained from the outset<lb />
Also, the lawmakers asked Leavitt<lb />
to probe whether the FDA illegally<lb />
destroyed documents from the<lb />
office of then-Commissioner Mark<lb />
McClellan, now the government's<lb />
Medicare chief that might have<lb />
shed more light on the controversial<lb />
decision.<lb />
Leavitt's office didn't return phone<lb />
calls seeking comment.<lb />
But in a statement, the FDA stood by<lb />
its rejection and said the independent<lb />
Government Accountability Office<lb />
"mlscharacterizes facts<lb />
Monday's report Is the latest blow to<lb />
the credibility of an agency that by<lb />
law is supposed to base decisions<lb />
on science, not politics or industry<lb />
pressure. Top-ranking FDA officials<lb />
have acknowledged they overruled<lb />
their own scientists' decision that<lb />
nonprescriptlon sales of emergency<lb />
birth control would be safe and<lb />
the agency's women's health chief<lb />
resigned in protest.<lb />
A high dose of regular birth control,<lb />
the morning-after pill lowers the risk<lb />
of pregnancy by up to 89 percent if<lb />
taken within 72 hours of unprotected<lb />
sex. The sooner it's taken, the better<lb />
it works, but it can be difficult for<lb />
women to get a prescription in time.<lb />
In December 2003, FDA's scientific<lb />
advisers overwhelmingly backed<lb />
over-the-counter sales of one brand,<lb />
Plan B, for all ages. They cited<lb />
assessments that easier access<lb />
could halve the nation's 3 million<lb />
annual unintended pregnancies.<lb />
Conservatives who consider the pill<lb />
tantamount to abortion intensely<lb />
lobbied the Bush administration to<lb />
reject nonprescriptlon sales, saying<lb />
they would increase teen sex.<lb />
In May 2004, FDA leaders rejected the<lb />
nonprescriptlon switch, saying there<lb />
was no data proving anyone under<lb />
16 could safely use the pills without<lb />
a doctor's guidance.<lb />
Maker Barr Laboratories reapplied,<lb />
seeking to sell Plan B without a<lb />
prescription to women 16 or older,<lb />
much like the way cigarettes are<lb />
sold with age restrictions, while<lb />
younger teens would still have to get a<lb />
doctor's note. In August, FDA leaders<lb />
postponed that decision Indefinitely,<lb />
saying it wasn't clear how to enforce<lb />
an age limit.<lb />
The GAO probed the FDA's initial<lb />
rejection, and cited "unusual"<lb />
practices including conflicting<lb />
accounts of whether the decision<lb />
was made months before scientific<lb />
reviews were completed.<lb />
World<lb />
Mexico and Venezuela sever<lb />
diplomatic relations after name-<lb />
calling dispute<lb />
MEXICO CITY (AP) - Venezuelan<lb />
President Hugo Chavez accused<lb />
Mexican leader Vicente Fox of being<lb />
a "puppy" of President Bush and said:<lb />
"Don't mess wUh me, sir Fox shot back<lb />
on Monday that "we have dignity in this<lb />
country" and demanded an apology.<lb />
Now the two nations are withdrawing<lb />
their ambassadors.<lb />
The severing of diplomatic relations<lb />
came after a week of verbal sparring<lb />
that highlighted Latin America's<lb />
differences over free trade and<lb />
relations with the United States. The<lb />
conservative Fox tends to side with<lb />
Washington on many issues, while<lb />
Chavez, a socialist and populist,<lb />
has been one of the hemisphere's<lb />
strongest critics of Bush.<lb />
Venezuela's president has repeatedly<lb />
accused Fox of being a "puppy"<lb />
of American Interests and of<lb />
disrespecting him after the pair<lb />
took opposing positions during this<lb />
month's Summit of the Americas.<lb />
On Sunday, Chavez used his weekly<lb />
radio and TV shows to warn Fox:<lb />
"Don't mess with me, sir, because<lb />
you'll get stung<lb />
Fox retorted in an interview with<lb />
CNN: "Other countries might<lb />
accept (Chavez's) wording and<lb />
the way he attacks everybody and<lb />
he attacks institutions. We are<lb />
not willing to do that in Mexico<lb />
Venezuela called its ambassador<lb />
home Monday rather than apologize<lb />
for the remark, and Mexico responded<lb />
by recalling its own envoy to Venezuela.<lb />
Fox said his government was mulling<lb />
Its next move.<lb />
"We can't allow people to offend our<lb />
country he told CNN en Espanol.<lb />
Venezuelan Ambassador to Mexico<lb />
Vladimir Villegas said he would fly to<lb />
his homeland aboard a commercial<lb />
flight Monday night.<lb />
"The whole world knows that this<lb />
didn't begin on the Venezuelan side<lb />
Villegas said.<lb />
When asked what the driving issue<lb />
was behind the flap, he said, "look<lb />
a little bit north" a reference to the<lb />
United States.<lb />
Tensions between Fox and Chavez<lb />
spilled over after the summit In<lb />
Argentina, where Fox defended a<lb />
U.Sbacked proposal for a Free<lb />
Trade Area of the Americas. Chavez<lb />
proclaimed the Idea dead.<lb />
They reached a breaking point late<lb />
Sunday, when Mexico issued a<lb />
statement saying Chavez's latest barb<lb />
"strikes at the dignity of the Mexican<lb />
people and government<lb />
Early Monday, Fox's spokesman,<lb />
Ruben Aguilar, said Mexico would<lb />
expel the ambassador if Venezuela<lb />
didn't apologize by midnight.<lb />
Hours later in Venezuela, Foreign<lb />
Secretary Ali Rodriguez said his country<lb />
would not accept Mexico's demands.<lb />
Venezuela "rejects as an unjustified<lb />
attack the ultimatum issued by the<lb />
government of Mexico Rodriguez<lb />
said. "This situation is entirely the<lb />
responsibility of President Fox<lb />
Fox responded by saying he was<lb />
going to continue to fight for free trade.<lb />
Aguilar said withdrawing ambassadors<lb />
wouldn't mean severing ties<lb />
completely with Venezuela because<lb />
business and cultural relations<lb />
would remain intact. The Economy<lb />
Department released a statement<lb />
Monday afternoon detailing trade ties<lb />
between the two oil-rich nations.<lb />
Iraqi detainees claim soldiers �f?<lb />
threw them into a cage of lions<lb />
Lions' teeth can crush bones.<lb />
WASHINGTON (AP) � Two<lb />
Iraqi businessmen, who were<lb />
imprisoned by U.S. forces in Iraq,<lb />
claimed Monday that American<lb />
soldiers threw them into a cage<lb />
of lions in a Baghdad palace, as<lb />
part of a terrifying interrogation<lb />
in 2003.<lb />
"They took me behind the<lb />
cage, they were screaming at me,<lb />
scaring me and beating me a lot<lb />
Thahe Mohammed Sabbar said<lb />
in an interview. "One of the sol-<lb />
diers would open the door, and<lb />
two soldiers would push me in.<lb />
The lions came running toward<lb />
me and they pulled me out and<lb />
shut the door. I completely lost<lb />
consciousness<lb />
Army spokesman Paul Boyce<lb />
said he has never heard of lions<lb />
being used in any detainee opera-<lb />
tions and it has never come up in<lb />
any of the more than 400 inves-<lb />
tigations into detainee abuse<lb />
conducted by the military over<lb />
the past three years.<lb />
"We take every allegation of<lb />
detainee abuse seriously Boyce<lb />
said. "But it does seem unusual<lb />
that this is now coming out for<lb />
the very first time after three<lb />
years of investigations<lb />
Sabbar, 37, and Sherzad Kamal<lb />
Khalid, 35, are in the United<lb />
States this week to talk about<lb />
the lawsuit that the American<lb />
Civil Liberties Union and Human<lb />
Rights First filed on their behalf<lb />
against Defense Secretary Donald<lb />
H. Rumsfeld and other military<lb />
officials.<lb />
The suit, which was filed in<lb />
March and transferred to U.S.<lb />
District Court in Washington,<lb />
details alleged sexual abuse,<lb />
mock executions, water and<lb />
food deprivation, electric shock<lb />
and other torture used on eight<lb />
detainees, including Sabbar and<lb />
Khalid. It does not mention the<lb />
lion cage.<lb />
The two men described the<lb />
July day in 2003 when they were<lb />
arrested by American troops<lb />
with guns and armored vehicles.<lb />
They said they were covered with<lb />
plastic hoods and repeatedly<lb />
struck by soldiers using the butt<lb />
of their guns.<lb />
They both described standing<lb />
in front of a lion cage, and said<lb />
they could hear other prison-<lb />
ers screaming as the metal cage<lb />
door creaked open and slammed<lb />
shut.<lb />
"They threatened that if I did<lb />
not confess they would put me<lb />
in the cage said Khalid, adding<lb />
that the soldiers kept asking him<lb />
where Saddam was. "I laughed, I<lb />
thought they were kidding me.<lb />
They asked where are the weap-<lb />
ons of mass destruction. I was<lb />
very surprised and 1 thought it<lb />
was weird<lb />
But when he laughed, he said,<lb />
he was only beaten more. And he<lb />
said they pushed him into the<lb />
cage three times, pulling him out<lb />
as the lions moved toward him.<lb />
Both men said they suffer<lb />
continuing physical and psy-<lb />
chological trauma, such as pain,<lb />
ulcers, nightmares and insom-<lb />
nia.<lb />
Sabbar said he was held by<lb />
U.S. forces for about six months,<lb />
while Khalid was held for about<lb />
two months.<lb />
Saddam Hussein's eldest son,<lb />
Odai, kept lions in his compound<lb />
at the presidential palace, which<lb />
was taken over by U.S. troops<lb />
during the war. He was killed<lb />
in a gun battle with American<lb />
soldiers in July 2003.<lb />
Federal coordinator cannot promise levees<lb />
strong enough for a Katrina-sized storm<lb />
way around campus and the<lb />
police dispatch will give them<lb />
directions.<lb />
From the dozen calls received<lb />
weekly, three to four are prank<lb />
calls, most of which are reported<lb />
Thursday - Saturday between 2 - 3<lb />
a.m. when kids are coming back<lb />
from downtownKnight said.<lb />
When asked if the blue light<lb />
phones have decreased crime on<lb />
campus, Knight said it is hard to<lb />
see if they have prevented a crime<lb />
without it actually happening<lb />
"It adds a greater sense of<lb />
security for the students know-<lb />
ing that they have emergency<lb />
communications with the police<lb />
department Knight said.<lb />
To increase security, new stan-<lb />
dards require the blue light phones<lb />
to be located within 300 feet (one<lb />
football field) of each other,<lb />
especially around new buildings.<lb />
With new construction,<lb />
including the new Brody School<lb />
of Medicine and new dormitories,<lb />
the blue lights are automatically<lb />
in the construction plans.<lb />
"There are a few lights that<lb />
aren't, but that would be under<lb />
the old standards Knight said.<lb />
On campus, there are three<lb />
patrol zones officers are assigned<lb />
to: Zone A covers the Flanagan<lb />
building through the west end of<lb />
campus. Zone B includes Wright<lb />
Circle toward the Fletcher music<lb />
building. Zone C consists of Col-<lb />
lege Hill to the Minges parking<lb />
lot and athletic complex.<lb />
The police department gives<lb />
high priority to isolated areas<lb />
such as parking lots and highly<lb />
traveled areas. That is why it is<lb />
more important to have more<lb />
patrol coverage in those areas.<lb />
If two reports happen at the<lb />
same time, two different offi-<lb />
cers will be sent simultaneously<lb />
towards the different zones,<lb />
Knight said.<lb />
"Depending on personnel<lb />
availability we, a lot of times have<lb />
two officers assigned to each<lb />
zone Knight said.<lb />
On weekends, Knight makes<lb />
sure to have additional patrols<lb />
usually in zones that require<lb />
more safety enforcement, like<lb />
Zone A near west campus and<lb />
downtown.<lb />
Aside from the blue light<lb />
phones, another safety pre-<lb />
caution on campus is the 19<lb />
call boxes located on the front<lb />
entrances at every resident hall.<lb />
People may call the residents<lb />
inside or they may dial 911 to get<lb />
the police department.<lb />
Each semester the police<lb />
department does a safety walk<lb />
on campus along with University<lb />
Housing, Student Life and SGA<lb />
to make sure the campus has<lb />
enough security in the appropri-<lb />
ate locations.<lb />
During the walk, if blue light<lb />
phones are identified more than<lb />
300 feet away from each other,<lb />
Knight said the police depart-<lb />
ment tries to find a good location<lb />
to make sure they are all within<lb />
the correct distance.<lb />
Every semester, at least two or<lb />
three blue light phones are added<lb />
on campus.<lb />
Student Patrol officers also<lb />
check the blue light phones on<lb />
a weekly basis. They push the<lb />
button to make sure the light and<lb />
the audio are working properly,<lb />
Knight said.<lb />

WASHINGTON (AP) � The<lb />
federal coordinator for Gulf Coast<lb />
recovery efforts said Monday<lb />
he will focus on ensuring the<lb />
region's levees are stronger than<lb />
they were before Hurricane<lb />
Katrina but cannot offer assur-<lb />
ances that they could withstand<lb />
another storm of that size.<lb />
Donald Powell said he might<lb />
not be able to quantify how<lb />
long-term recovery efforts are<lb />
progressing for at least eight<lb />
months in the devastated region<lb />
that he compared to a war zone.<lb />
However, he said he and local<lb />
authorities need to focus first<lb />
on security making sure that<lb />
levees can withstand another<lb />
huge storm.<lb />
"1 think New Orleans and<lb />
Louisiana need to be safe Powell<lb />
said in an interview with The<lb />
Associated Press.<lb />
However, "I'm not sure what<lb />
the science dictates Powell said<lb />
when asked if the levees would be<lb />
rebuilt to withstand a Category S<lb />
hurricane, as Gulf Coast officials<lb />
have requested. "Clearly, I think<lb />
they're going to be rebuilt up to<lb />
a Level 3 but  they were not a<lb />
Level 3 when the storm came. And<lb />
then study and understand what<lb />
the science is to get to a Level S<lb />
"But the levees clearly are<lb />
important he said.<lb />
Katrina was a Category 4<lb />
storm when it slammed into the<lb />
coast on Aug. 29. A Category S<lb />
storm is considered a catastrophic<lb />
event, the worst in the five-step<lb />
rating system, with winds of 1SS<lb />
mph or more and a storm surge<lb />
greater than 18 feet above normal.<lb />
A midlevel Category 3 storm<lb />
packs winds between 111 and 130<lb />
mph and a storm surge between<lb />
9 and 12 feet above normal.<lb />
The Louisiana Recovery<lb />
Authority estimates that rebuild-<lb />
ing levees could cost $20 billion<lb />
over the next six to eight years.<lb />
Agency vice chair Walter Issac-<lb />
son said a top priority remains<lb />
"adequate hurricane protection"<lb />
with levees that can withstand a<lb />
Category S storm.<lb />
Powell, a soft-spoken, easygo-<lb />
ing Texan, steps down Wednes-<lb />
day as chairman of the Federal<lb />
Deposit Insurance Corp. to focus<lb />
on Gulf Coast recovery full-time.<lb />
He described his new post as an<lb />
independent conduit between<lb />
state and local authorities in<lb />
the region who are developing<lb />
rebuilding plans, and Congress<lb />
and Bush administration officials<lb />
who will help fund them.<lb />
A former banker and Texas<lb />
A&amp;M University administrator,<lb />
Powell could not immediately<lb />
estimate how much rebuilding<lb />
the region will cost or how much<lb />
Congress will need to contribute.<lb />
The Louisiana agency,<lb />
appointed by Gov. Kathleen<lb />
Blanco, also has asked for J200<lb />
million in emergency small<lb />
business loans. Levee protec-<lb />
tion and keeping the local econ-<lb />
omy in business remain its top<lb />
priorities.<lb />
The agency was unhappy<lb />
when it learned that the state's<lb />
two senators, Democrat Mary<lb />
Landrieu and Republican David<lb />
Vltter, sought $250 billion from<lb />
Congress to help the state recover.<lb />
The request has never been<lb />
approved.<lb />
"It squandered our credibil-<lb />
ity, totally Issacson said. "We<lb />
realize in this economic climate<lb />
we can't ask the nation to come<lb />
rebuild Louisiana. We've got to<lb />
rebuild it ourselves. And there's<lb />
a silver lining because Louisiana<lb />
shouldn't be a ward of the fed<lb />
government. It should be able to<lb />
rebuild itself<lb />

My Random Column<lb />
Multitasking?<lb />
Good or Bad?<lb />
I was asked today what I was doing - my<lb />
answer was "What am I not doing?" I am the<lb />
queen of getting as off track as I can while<lb />
still doing 50 things at once, and not a one of<lb />
them is related. But I am still not doing what<lb />
I need to be doing.<lb />
How in the world do people who have a<lb />
� million things to do get them all done at the<lb />
same time. Now don't get me wrong, I have<lb />
the ability to walk and chew gum at the same<lb />
time, but I am such a procrastinatorthat when<lb />
I have two papers, lesson plans, a project<lb />
and then work to do I just sit there and stare<lb />
at the screen until someone else yells at me<lb />
to do something else. Then I complain that<lb />
I need to be doing what I was supposed to<lb />
be doing in the first place.<lb />
This column, for example, is almost the last<lb />
thing to go in every week because I get so<lb />
distracted all day that my glorious copy edi-<lb />
tors watch me like a hawk until I am done.<lb />
They help me come up with topics and cre-<lb />
ativity for my next installment in this wonderful<lb />
newspaper so I can get through the night.<lb />
I have a project due today, and though I have<lb />
done most of it, I have to type it up before<lb />
today at 1 p.m. I ponder waiting until last<lb />
minute and decide that I am going to get it<lb />
done. Then something gets in the way, again<lb />
for the hundredth time.<lb />
Multitasking used to be my friend - in high<lb />
school I could do multiple things and once<lb />
without a problem. Then I came to college<lb />
- ADD kicked in, no more 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.<lb />
classes set every day and no more parents.<lb />
I love being here and free of high school, but<lb />
I was so much more productive then.<lb />
Enough babbling, back to work I go until next<lb />

When do we help and when do we look away?<lb />
Out-Foxed by a Cat<lb />
BENJAMIN CORMACK<lb />
CAUSAL OBSERVER<lb />
Have you ever heard what agi-<lb />
tated squirrels sound like? They<lb />
sound like extremely small dogs,<lb />
letting out short, raspy barks. To<lb />
put it another way, they sound<lb />
like an extremely ticked-off bird.<lb />
Either way, it is one of the most<lb />
annoying sounds I've ever heard.<lb />
When 1 was walking near Belk<lb />
Residence Hall and heard several<lb />
of them making that sound, I<lb />
somehow felt compelled to figure<lb />
out what the fuss was all about.<lb />
If anything, I thought, maybe I<lb />
could shut-up those annoying<lb />
squirrels.<lb />
So I'm walking around the<lb />
area, trying to see if I notice any-<lb />
thing that might cause a bunch<lb />
of squirrels to act so well<lb />
squirrelly. Then I noticed a cat<lb />
walking near some bushes. He<lb />
was an orange and white striped<lb />
cat, male I think, and kind of<lb />
big - he kind of reminded me of<lb />
Garfield. Which would probably<lb />
explain why I acted the way I did<lb />
in this situation.<lb />
Now I'm not a cat person<lb />
- I don't really like cats, mostly<lb />
because I'm allergic to them.<lb />
Those of you with similar aller-<lb />
gies can understand why I do<lb />
all I can to avoid them. Yet<lb />
with this cat, something was<lb />
different. Maybe it was because<lb />
he reminded me of Garfield, or<lb />
maybe it is because I'm a softy<lb />
when it comes to animals, but I<lb />
called out to the little guy: "Here<lb />
kitty kitty kitty. Here kitty kitty<lb />
kitty The little guy then trotted<lb />
over to me, started meowing,<lb />
rubbing-up against my leg, basi-<lb />
cally doing all he could to melt<lb />
my heart and succeeding.<lb />
So being the big softy that I<lb />
am, I went over to the Subway<lb />
Shop in the West End Dining<lb />
Hall and bought him some milk.<lb />
I even got him some cream. It<lb />
was that Irish Coffee cream stuff<lb />
in the little containers. 1 don't<lb />
know if was meant for cats, but I<lb />
had heard at some point that cats<lb />
liked cream. So I figured, why<lb />
not. This other guy, I think he<lb />
may have been a grad student or<lb />
a young professor or something,<lb />
had some tuna and gave the cat<lb />
some of it. I then put the milk<lb />
and cream in a plastic container<lb />
I got from the store. He lapped it<lb />
up quite happily. I coaxed him<lb />
over to a sunnier spot, away from<lb />
the walkway where he might get<lb />
in someone's way. He seemed<lb />
quite content.<lb />
I was about to leave him<lb />
when he brushed-up against my<lb />
leg. "You sure know how to make<lb />
a guy feel guilty, don't you?" I<lb />
said. I didn't know what to do.<lb />
I didn't want to leave him there<lb />
all by himself, but I couldn't take<lb />
care of a cat. As if he read my<lb />
mind, he then went over to the<lb />
bushes to hide his face from me<lb />
as if to not make me feel guilty.<lb />
So I left the little guy with milk<lb />
for him and a little sadness in<lb />
my heart.<lb />
The next day I had a thought:<lb />
that cat was extremely friendly<lb />
for a stray. Most of the cats I've<lb />
seen wandering around campus<lb />
try to avoid people, which makes<lb />
me think that cat may have actu-<lb />
ally been somebody's pet. Which<lb />
means that cat may have tricked<lb />
me into giving him free milk. It is<lb />
because of this incident that I'm<lb />
reminded of why I prefer dogs.<lb />
Now getting played by a cat<lb />
is something I can live with, and<lb />
I can even laugh about it. What<lb />
I can't stand is when people play<lb />
me like this cat did. Those of you<lb />
who have ever been to the Harris<lb />
Teeter near campus at night may<lb />
have met someone begging for<lb />
money because they're hungry<lb />
and have no money. One time<lb />
I was even told by one woman,<lb />
who barely had any teeth, I met<lb />
near Michael's that she needed<lb />
money to pay for a cab because<lb />
her car was being worked on after<lb />
breaking down or something<lb />
along those lines I can't quite<lb />
remember.<lb />
Now I'm more than happy<lb />
to help out my fellow man, but<lb />
when I see these people, after<lb />
giving them money, going away<lb />
from the grocery store, a place<lb />
that sells food, I can't but feel<lb />
like I've been swindled. I feel<lb />
like they're going to spend my<lb />
own money that I gave them<lb />
out of the kindness of my heart<lb />
on liquor, drugs or something<lb />
worse. All of this after telling<lb />
me, "God bless you Frankly I<lb />
feel ashamed of not only myself<lb />
for believing them, but for them<lb />
having to resort to such means<lb />
to get money for whatever it may<lb />
be they want money for. What<lb />
I mean is that I feel cheated by<lb />
those who lie to me and spend<lb />
the money on something instead<lb />
of food or whatever their initial<lb />
need for the money was. I get<lb />
even angrier when I think about<lb />
how it is because of the liars and<lb />
cheaters out there that people are<lb />
so unwilling to help those who<lb />
really need it.<lb />
More than likely I'll be in that<lb />
area of Greenville again, and I'll<lb />
probably meet another person<lb />
with another story about how<lb />
they don't have any money and<lb />
they're hungry, and I will more<lb />
than likely end-up giving them<lb />
money. Why? Because for every<lb />
hundred liars and swindlers out<lb />
there, I'd like to think there is at<lb />
least one person who really needs<lb />
it - one person that I can actually<lb />
help - one good deed that I can<lb />
actually do. All that considered,<lb />
1 guess helping that one person<lb />
is what really matters. The same<lb />
goes for cats, even if I think dogs<lb />
are better.<lb />
In My Opinion<lb />
(KRT) � PHILADELPHIA<lb />
- Samuel A. Alito Jr. is Catho-<lb />
lic, and his mother has said he<lb />
opposes abortion. And when<lb />
he sought a Justice Department<lb />
promotion in 1985, he expressed<lb />
support for the view that the<lb />
Constitution "does not protect a<lb />
right to an abortion<lb />
But Alito, the federal appeals<lb />
judge nominated to succeed<lb />
Justice Sandra Day O'Connor on<lb />
the nation's highest court, has<lb />
shown respect for precedent. In<lb />
a 1997 ruling, he said he agreed<lb />
with the "essential point" his<lb />
fellow judges had made: That the<lb />
Supreme Court has held that a<lb />
fetus is not a "person" under the<lb />
14th Amendment.<lb />
Alito's rulings on the Phila-<lb />
delphia-based U.S. Court of<lb />
Appeals for the Third Circuit<lb />
offer no clear signs whether he<lb />
would move to affirm or over-<lb />
turn "Roe v. Wade, the landmark<lb />
1973 abortion-rights ruling.<lb />
But newly released documents<lb />
from his tenure with the Jus-<lb />
tice Department triggered more<lb />
intense questioning Tuesday on<lb />
Capitol Hill.<lb />
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-<lb />
Calif an abortion-rights sup-<lb />
porter and the only woman on<lb />
the Judiciary Committee, told<lb />
The Associated Press that Alito<lb />
told her he had merely been "an<lb />
advocate seeking a job" when he<lb />
made his 198S comments about<lb />
abortion.<lb />
"He said first of all it was dif-<lb />
ferent then she said. "He said,<lb />
"I was an advocate seeking a job,<lb />
it was a political job and that was<lb />
1985. I'm now a judge, I've been<lb />
on the circuit court for 15 years,<lb />
and it's very different. I'm not<lb />
an advocate, I don't give heed to<lb />
my personal views; what I do is<lb />
interpret the law<lb />
Feinstein said she believed<lb />
him.<lb />
With Alito's confirmation<lb />
hearing set to begin Jan. 9, sena-<lb />
tors as well as liberal and conser-<lb />
vative interest groups are trying<lb />
to figure out Alito's approach<lb />
to stare decisis, the Latin term<lb />
for the legal principle that prior<lb />
court decisions should be recog-<lb />
nized as precedents - and not<lb />
easily overturned.<lb />
"As a lower-court judge, he<lb />
has to be in lock-step with prec-<lb />
edent said Jeffrey M. Shaman,<lb />
a constitutional-law scholar at<lb />
DePaul University in Chicago.<lb />
"But once he's on the Supreme<lb />
Court, he doesn't have to<lb />
Alito, 55, has tackled ques-<lb />
tions about abortion in a number<lb />
of cases in his 15 years on the<lb />
appeals court.<lb />
He voted in 2000 to strike<lb />
down New Jersey's ban on so-<lb />
called partial-birth abortion,<lb />
and in 1995 to bar restrictions<lb />
on Medicaid-funded abortions.<lb />
And in a key 1991 case, Alito<lb />
voted to uphold most of Pennsyl-<lb />
vania's abortion-control law, and<lb />
wrote that it was not an "undue<lb />
burden" to require a woman to<lb />
notify her husband before an<lb />
abortion.<lb />
In that case, Planned Parent-<lb />
hood v. Casey, the Supreme Court<lb />
ultimately reaffirmed the right to<lb />
abortion, but struck down the<lb />
spousal-notification provision<lb />
Alito had sought to uphold.<lb />
Shaman said that he thought<lb />
Alito would have dissented in<lb />
Roe, and that the big question<lb />
now was how Alito's view of stare<lb />
decisis would come into play<lb />
the next time an abortion case<lb />
reaches the court.<lb />
"It's very difficult to figure<lb />
out where he will come down,<lb />
because so much depends upon<lb />
 how much respect he has to<lb />
whether or not Roe and Casey are<lb />
established law Shaman said.<lb />
"We don't get much of a sense<lb />
about Judge Alito as to where he<lb />
is with regard to when it's proper<lb />
to overrule a decision<lb />
Susan Low Bloch, a constitu-<lb />
tional law expert at Georgetown<lb />
University, said Alito's Third<lb />
Circuit opinions did not offer<lb />
much insight. "You can tell very<lb />
little from his court of appeals<lb />
rulings said Bloch, other than<lb />
"he's very good at following<lb />
precedent<lb />
The newly released 1985<lb />
document, she said, will make<lb />
Alito more vulnerable to ques-<lb />
tions about his views on Roe.<lb />
Alito's long-ago remark, she said,<lb />
"raises a. question of what he<lb />
would think about overturning<lb />
it now - 30 years later<lb />

How to plan different parties<lb />
Simple, fast and<lb />
affordable<lb />
MEREDITH STEWART<lb />
SENIOR WRITER<lb />
A great way to meet new<lb />
people in college is to get out<lb />
and about. Throwing a party is<lb />
an exciting way to do this, so<lb />
here are a few pointers on how<lb />
to party like a pirate. There are<lb />
many different types of parties,<lb />
from keg parties to formal cock-<lb />
tail parties. Choose one and<lb />
follow the guidelines below.<lb />
If a big party is what you<lb />
are looking for, find a house<lb />
somewhat close to the dorms.<lb />
It's winter time and most party<lb />
goers want to walk there as<lb />
quickly as possible and don't<lb />
want to have to worry about<lb />
the risks involved with drinking<lb />
and driving. It's great to have a '<lb />
nice house, but remember your<lb />
house could become the next<lb />
big party scene of the year. Be<lb />
careful what you have sitting<lb />
around your house - it may not<lb />
be there at the end of the night.<lb />
Decorate with colored lights,<lb />
inexpensive decorations and<lb />
other oddball items. Great music<lb />
is a must, just be sure there is a<lb />
variety so you will get all kinds<lb />
of people at your party. If you<lb />
4 <lb />
Being the host or hostess of a party, no matter what type, requires you to entertain your guests safely.<lb />
want live music, just get a few<lb />
musically inclined friends to play.<lb />
A beer pong table seems to be a<lb />
necessity, so don't forget to make<lb />
one. Paint a board (what ever size<lb />
you prefer) ECU purple and make<lb />
sure people sign it at your parties.<lb />
Those memories will be hilarious<lb />
the next morning, and for many<lb />
years to come.<lb />
"I've had my beer pong table<lb />
with me for years now. It's been<lb />
with me to different colleges and<lb />
has so many writings on it as well<lb />
as drawing different people put<lb />
on it, I feel like it adds a lot to<lb />
my house Said Michael Onofrio,<lb />
junior criminal justice major.<lb />
Now for the center of atten-<lb />
tion - the kegs. They can be<lb />
purchased by anyone 21 or older<lb />
at various locations all around<lb />
Greenville. Bring a friend or two<lb />
because each keg weighs about<lb />
150 pounds but be sure you are<lb />
all of age because they will not let<lb />
you leave with it if they think you<lb />
are going to be supplying minors.<lb />
Don't forget the essentials such as<lb />
the tap, lots of ice and cups. Just<lb />
put the keg into a big trashcan<lb />
and be sure to cover it with ice.<lb />
Tap it and you are now set for a<lb />
college party.<lb />
Invite friends, tell your neigh-<lb />
bors and start the music - need<lb />
anything else? As the host or<lb />
hostess, it's your job to watch<lb />
out for fights, make sure no<lb />
one steals anything and it is<lb />
also a good suggestion to cover<lb />
yourself by checking IDs. This<lb />
will help you out in the long run<lb />
to be sure that if the police come,<lb />
you do not get charged with serv-<lb />
ing minors.<lb />
"I've been to so many parties<lb />
at ECU and the best ones include<lb />
lots of guys, your best girlfriends<lb />
and comfortable shoes of course<lb />
said Candice O'neal, sophomore<lb />
political science major.<lb />
There is always an alternative<lb />
to throwing big parties. A small<lb />
cocktail party or sports party can<lb />
be just as much fun if not more<lb />
fun than a big messy party. Just<lb />
invite your closest friends and<lb />
set a theme. If you are looking<lb />
to be festive, try decorating your<lb />
house for an upcoming holiday<lb />
and assign each party guest<lb />
something to bring. You can all<lb />
have a great time sitting around<lb />
enjoying all of the festive foods<lb />
people brought, listening to the<lb />
see PARTY page A5<lb />
Picking the right outfit for the right party<lb />
What you don't know can<lb />
hurt you<lb />
TOMEKA STEELE<lb />
SENIOR WRITER<lb />
ECU is known for its infa-<lb />
mous party scene although the<lb />
university goes far with academ-<lb />
ics as well. Let's face it some<lb />
people make the wrong choices<lb />
in attire when going to a party.<lb />
There are different types of par-<lb />
ties that require different types<lb />
of ensembles. Cocktail parties,<lb />
sports related parties, house par-<lb />
ties, keggers and club parties all<lb />
require a certain form of dress.<lb />
The cocktail party is fairly<lb />
simple. It's a party that serves<lb />
cocktails and or wine and soft<lb />
alcoholic beverages and hors<lb />
d'oeuvres. Often times there is a<lb />
dessert buffet as well. A cocktail<lb />
party is very laid back but with a<lb />
touch of finesse and grace.<lb />
Traditional cocktail party<lb />
attire is a short elegant dress for<lb />
women. A-line dresses and bell<lb />
dresses are perfect for the atmo-<lb />
sphere of a cocktail party. Men<lb />
most often wear a business suit or<lb />
blazer to this type of soiree. This<lb />
may slightly differ for college<lb />
cocktail parties. Men can go busi-<lb />
ness casual - but no jeans, shorts<lb />
or sneakers for the cocktail party<lb />
scene. When trying to decide<lb />
what to wear, it's often best to<lb />
check the invitation.<lb />
Sports related parties are a<lb />
totally different venue. There<lb />
are many types of parties in<lb />
this category such as football<lb />
parties where people gather to<lb />
watch a game on television, and<lb />
basketball parties. These types of<lb />
parties don't usually have a dress<lb />
code. Casual clothing is the best<lb />
way to go since there will likely<lb />
be alcohol and fast-food. Casual<lb />
dress includes whatever you want<lb />
to wear that is comfortable, espe-<lb />
cially when it is in support of one<lb />
of the teams playing.<lb />
House parties can be a gray<lb />
zone when deciding what to<lb />
wear. It depends on what type<lb />
of house party it is. The stan-<lb />
dard house party has snacks,<lb />
alcoholic beverages, very loud<lb />
music and space for people to<lb />
dance. Thus, girls can opt for<lb />
something slightly like club-<lb />
wear and so can guys. Guys can<lb />
get away with wearing a nice<lb />
pair of jeans and collared shirt.<lb />
For a kegger it's all about<lb />
being comfortable and not wear-<lb />
ing your favorite thing because it<lb />
will most likely become ruined<lb />
during the night. There are all<lb />
kinds of drinking games and keg<lb />
stands so you need unrestricting<lb />
clothing to participate. At a kegger<lb />
it's all about having fun, nobody<lb />
really cares what you wear or<lb />
will remember for that matter.<lb />
"If I'm going to be drinking I<lb />
just wear something comfortable<lb />
such as a pair of shorts, a basic tee-<lb />
shirt and a hat. Never anything<lb />
dressy said senior exercise and<lb />
sports physiology major Mikey<lb />
Odom. All students are reminded,<lb />
of course, not to drive home after<lb />
participating in kegger activities.<lb />
Greenville has many taxi-ser-<lb />
vices that would be glad to take<lb />
you and your friend's home.<lb />
Going to a party at a club<lb />
requires club-wear or your best<lb />
sexy outfit. Sexy doesn't imply<lb />
slutty. No body wants to see the<lb />
cheeks of your buttocks. Ladies<lb />
need to be sophisticated and sexy<lb />
and men need to be dressy casual.<lb />
Dressy casual for the club means<lb />
nice jeans or slacks and a collared<lb />
shirt or tee. Some clubs require a<lb />

Jennifer Anlston hardly needs an Introduction.<lb />
Her remarkable roles, inner and outer beauty and<lb />
the fact that she was married to one of the hottest<lb />
guys in Hollywood says enough.<lb />
She spent most of her childhood in New York<lb />

The winter days are approach-<lb />
ing us quickly. Just think, next<lb />
month we'll be freezing our buns<lb />
off while we roast chestnuts on<lb />
an open fire in the cold, brisk air.<lb />
Soon our heaters will be work-<lb />
ing overtime to keep our homes<lb />
toasty. We'll take extra hot show-<lb />
ers to steam up the bathroom<lb />
on those cold mornings. We'll<lb />
find comfort in a warm cup of<lb />
coffee or tea. But, did you know<lb />
that heat in your home takes the<lb />
moisture out of the air? Those<lb />
extra hot showers and caffeine<lb />
are hard on your skin, too. Not<lb />
to mention the cold, dry air<lb />
can do painful damage to your<lb />
skin. To ensure that your winter<lb />
season is an enjoyable and com-<lb />
fortable one, don't forget about<lb />
your skin - it feels the effects<lb />
of winter, too. Here are some<lb />
tips to keep your skin healthy<lb />
and beautiful during those<lb />
cold and dry winter months.<lb />
Avoid dehydration. Water<lb />
makes up 60 percent of the<lb />
human body, so drink plenty of<lb />
water. Water helps to transport<lb />
nutrients to your skin cells. Eat<lb />
plenty of leafy vegetables. They<lb />
contain water that can help<lb />
nourish your skin. Eat warm<lb />
foods and drink warm liquids<lb />
to keep your circulation flow-<lb />
ing, but cut back on your caf-<lb />
feine and alcohol intake - they<lb />
will dehydrate you, which is<lb />
what we are trying to avoid.<lb />
Keep It cool. Turn down the<lb />
heat in your home to the lowest<lb />
point that you feel comfortable<lb />
i<lb />
Don't hide your skin all winter, take<lb />
with to help keep the air moist<lb />
throughout the house. Use room<lb />
humidifiers and dress warmly<lb />
instead. Not only will this help<lb />
you keep your skin moisturized,<lb />
but it will cut down on utility<lb />
costs as well.<lb />
Make it short. While we all<lb />
enjoy long, hot, steamy showers<lb />
or baths too much hot water can<lb />
dry out our skin. Reduce your<lb />
bathing time and use lukewarm<lb />
water to prevent skin damage.<lb />
To get rid of the chill in the<lb />
bathroom, turn on the heater in<lb />
your bathroom if you have one.<lb />
A little bath oil in the tub will<lb />
sooth your skin and will help it<lb />
stay moist throughout the day.<lb />
Try switching to a more moistur-<lb />
izing version of your favorite soap<lb />
to help hold that moisture in<lb />
through the winter months.<lb />
Stay away from harsh abra-<lb />
care of it the right way and shine.<lb />
sives. Avoid bar soaps and shower<lb />
gels - they surely dry out your<lb />
skin. Switch to milder cleansers<lb />
that contain natural ingredients<lb />
like oatmeal, chickpea flour and<lb />
milk. Be kind to your skin and<lb />
don't scrub it excessively.<lb />
Keep your skin moisturized.<lb />
After bathing, use oil-based<lb />
cream moisturizers on your<lb />
face and body, paying close<lb />
attention to your knees, elbows,<lb />
hands and feet, which tend to<lb />
be drier than other parts of<lb />
the body. Don't use lotions as<lb />
many of them contain alcohol<lb />
in their ingredients, which Is<lb />
drying. Creams are thicker and<lb />
more lubricating than lotions.<lb />
Massage a few drops of vitamin<lb />
E oil into those really dry places.<lb />
Wear layers. Dress in layers<lb />

CAN YOU BE THERE FOR<lb />
YOUR OLDER PARENT<lb />
WITHOUT ACTUALLY<lb />
HAVING TO BE THERE?<lb />
One out of five adults finds<lb />
themselves as the designated<lb />
"caregiver" for a loved one who<lb />
can no longer manage alone. This<lb />
role can often snowball, weighing<lb />
heaviry on you as you try to cope<lb />
with the demands of caregiving.<lb />
There may be services and<lb />
organizations right in your<lb />
parent's neighborhood that can<lb />
help when you're not around.<lb />
The outcome is better care for<lb />
your parent, and less anxiety<lb />
for you. Visit www.familycare<lb />
givingl01.org and discover<lb />
a world of support, answers and<lb />
advice - for both of you.<lb />

to prevent overheating. Sweat-<lb />
ing and overheating can cause<lb />
your skin to become itchy and<lb />
irritated. And for you snow bun-<lb />
nies, take off wet clothes as soon<lb />
as you go inside - this can irritate<lb />
your skin as well.<lb />
Avoid chapping. Your lips are<lb />
skin, too. Apply lip balm regularly<lb />
to protect your lips from the wind<lb />
and harsh, cold air. Also, don't<lb />
forget about your hands. Always<lb />
wear gloves when going outside.<lb />
Gloves not only keep your hands<lb />
warm, but they help to hold in<lb />
your skins moisture, prevent-<lb />
ing painful dry, crackly skin.<lb />
Sun protection. Sunscreen is<lb />
not just for the summer. Though<lb />
your body may be bundled up,<lb />
your face is exposed to the sun-<lb />
light. Sunscreen will help to pre-<lb />
vent your face from burning. Or if<lb />
you don't like the slimy nature of<lb />
sunscreen, use a moisturizer with<lb />
SPF IS to prevent damage. Not<lb />
only will this protect your skin<lb />
from the affects of the winter sun,<lb />
but it will also prevent wrinkles<lb />
and skin damage later in life.<lb />
Exfoliate. Use gentle exfoliates<lb />
on your skin weekly to remove<lb />
dead skin cells, keeping your skin<lb />
fresh and vibrant. Avoid exfoli-<lb />
ating everyday because this may<lb />
dry your skin too much, causing<lb />
too much damage.<lb />
Guys, skin care is not just<lb />
for girls. In the presence of cold<lb />
air and low humidity the body<lb />
loses its ability to hold mois-<lb />
ture. There are many skin care<lb />
products out there now made<lb />
specifically and only for guys.<lb />
There are even some sunscreens<lb />
that are not oily or smelly like<lb />
the typical summer protection.<lb />
Just think - it only takes 10<lb />
percent of the skin's water level<lb />
to drop to become dry, itchy and<lb />
flaky. Take heed and take the<lb />
necessary steps to insure that<lb />
your skin is healthy when Jack<lb />
Frost pays a visit.<lb />

father is the one and only Telly<lb />
Savalas. At age 11 Jennifer discov-<lb />
ered her real talents at the Rudolf<lb />
Steiner School's drama club.<lb />
After graduating from the<lb />
High School of Performing Arts in<lb />
1987, she took roles in off-Broad-<lb />
way productions. She played<lb />
small roles in movies, but as we<lb />
all know, Jennifer Aniston is<lb />
most popular for playing Rachel<lb />
Green in the sitcom "Friends<lb />
This show became a mega-hit and<lb />
her fame came very quickly. Fame<lb />
definitely has its price. Aniston<lb />
had to lose 30 pounds and put<lb />
her hobbies such as traveling,<lb />
hiking and antiquing on pause.<lb />
She began appearing in sev-<lb />
eral romantic comedies such<lb />
as, Picture Perfect and Til' There<lb />
Was You in 1997, along with The<lb />
Object of my Affection in 1998.<lb />
This is where she met the man<lb />
of her dreams, Brad Pitt. The<lb />
young couple took their places as<lb />
Hollywood's elite power couple<lb />
after they said "1 do" in 2000.<lb />
Since then she has only<lb />
become a stronger and more<lb />
respected actress. Her roles in<lb />
The Good Girl and Bruce Almighty<lb />
hit big and scored millions in<lb />
the box. Aniston is now an "it"<lb />
girl and has cameras in her face,<lb />
with people always begging her<lb />
for an autograph, pictures or<lb />
just a glimpse into her world.<lb />
"When somebody follows you<lb />
20 blocks to the pharmacy, where<lb />
they watch you buy toilet paper,<lb />
you know your life has changed<lb />

an interview.<lb />
Jennifer Aniston entertains the audience on "David Letterman<lb />
Everyone has heard about her<lb />
nasty divorce by now, but Jen-<lb />
nifer Aniston is a strong woman<lb />
and seems to be recovering. Every<lb />
trashy tabloid and serious jour-<lb />
nalist has elaborated on the story<lb />
since then. It must be really hard<lb />
to have to deal with a divorce, but<lb />
to do it publicly is even worse.<lb />
Each day she gets to see or at least<lb />
hear about Brad Pitt, Angelina<lb />
Jolie and herself. Despite all the<lb />
talk, her popularity seems to<lb />
increase as she stands tall and<lb />
moves on with her life.<lb />
Jennifer Aniston is going to<lb />
be popping up everywhere in the<lb />
next six months. She has been<lb />
extremely busy making four new<lb />
movies. Derailed is the first of four<lb />
and on Christmas Day Rumor Has<lb />
It will hit the box offices. The<lb />
rumor going around now is that<lb />
the film has been subject to re-<lb />
shoots since the original director<lb />
Ted Demme passed away. All that<lb />
will be taken care of and Anis-<lb />
ton will shine through in The<lb />
Break Up which should be out in<lb />
February. In this movie she stars<lb />
with her current love interest,<lb />
Vince Vaughn. Her last movie is<lb />
Friends With Money described as<lb />
a comedy, but maybe with a twist<lb />
or an edge. Be sure to catch Jen-<lb />
nifer Aniston as she woes us all<lb />
with her talent and beauty and<lb />
keep reading features for reviews<lb />
of her movies.<lb />
Watch for her career to keep<lb />
growing and to see her for many<lb />

RON CLEMENTS<lb />
STAFF WRITER<lb />
At the beginning<lb />
of the season, I asked<lb />
the following ques-<lb />
tions: 1) How will<lb />
Terrell Owens and<lb />
Donovan McNabb<lb />
get along in Philadel-<lb />
phia? 2) Will Ricky<lb />
Williams quit on his<lb />
Miami teammates<lb />
again? 3) Can Carson<lb />
Palmer get the Ben-<lb />
gals to the playoffs? 4)<lb />
Is this Brett Favie's last<lb />
season? 5) Can the<lb />
New England Patriots<lb />
three-peat and win<lb />
their fourth champi-<lb />
onship In five years?<lb />
6) Will Peyton Man-<lb />
ning's Colts finally<lb />
reach the Super Bowl?<lb />
To answer them:<lb />
1) Not well. 2) It hasn't been Williams quitting on<lb />
his team, although he has been quiet on the field, but<lb />
Owens who has blasted his teammates, forcing the<lb />
Eagles to quit on him. 3) Yes. 4) Wedon't know yet, but<lb />
we hope not. 5) Probably not. 6) It sure looks like it.<lb />
Indianapolis was my preseason pick to win the<lb />
AFC and the Colts are 9-0 and looking great, and bal-<lb />
anced. The funny thing is they haven't been doing it<lb />
on just the right arm of Manning. It has been the run-<lb />
ning of Edgerrin James and the stellar play from the<lb />
defense that has the Colts unbeaten. Right now, the<lb />
question is not whether the Colts can go undefeated,<lb />
but will they? Miami fans are hoping not.<lb />
So, If the season were to end today, who would go<lb />
where and who would get what? In the NFC, my pre-<lb />
season pick to win the NFC East, Philadelphia, is 4-5 fol-<lb />
lowing Monday nigrit's loss to Dallas while the New York<lb />
Giants are the surprise leaders at 6-3. The NFC North<lb />
is the weakest, and most surprising division, with most<lb />
people's cellar prediction, Chicago, leading the "Norris"<lb />
at 6-3 while Minnesota and Green Bay have five wins<lb />
combined. My picks for the South and West, Carolina<lb />
and Seattle, are looking pretty solid at this point.<lb />
Indy is clearly the class of the AFC, and the NFL.<lb />
At this point, anything shy of a Super Bowl win would<lb />
be a disappointment to Colts' fans. 1 picked the Jets to<lb />
win the East - not gonna happen there. Buffalo and<lb />
New England are now a two-horse race in the East.<lb />
Cincinnati is leading the AFC North, tied with Pitts-<lb />
burgh, which is the best team in the division. I had<lb />
the Steelers winning the North. 1 picked San Diego<lb />
to win the West, and I obviously underestimated Jake<lb />
Plummer in Denver.<lb />
That being said, I am going to have to revise my<lb />
Super Bowl pick of Green Bay from the NFC. But<lb />
first, to doll out some mid-season awards:<lb />
Coach of the Year:<lb />
Tony Dungy, Indianapolis Colls: Dungy is<lb />
coaching the league's only undefeated team, and<lb />
has his team playing well on both sides of the ball.<lb />
Bill I'arcells, Tom Coughlin and Lovie Smith are<lb />
all doing good jobs with their teams, but Dungy's<lb />
squad is clearly the best and he deserves the<lb />
accolades for it.<lb />
NFL Defensive Rookie of the<lb />
Year:<lb />
Odell Thurman, LB, Cincinnati Ben-<lb />
gals: A second-round pick from Georgia,<lb />
Thurman has been a play ma ker all<lb />
- season for the Bengals. He<lb />
k has forced three fum-<lb />
 Wes, has four lntercep-<lb />
k tions and a sack and<lb />
 has been the standout<lb />
,UM defensive rookie in the<lb />
league.<lb />
Ronnie Brown,<lb />
RB, Miami: The<lb />
second overall pick<lb />
from Auburn has been<lb />
a workhorse for the<lb />
Dolphins. Although<lb />
Brown's teammate<lb />
at Auburn, Carnell<lb />
"Cadillac" Williams<lb />
is getting more of the<lb />
pub, Brown's stats are<lb />
better and he has not<lb />
missed a game. He<lb />
has almost 200 yards<lb />
more than Williams,<lb />
one more touch-<lb />
down, a yard more<lb />
in yards-per-carry<lb />
and only one rumble.<lb />
NFL Offen-<lb />
sive Player of the<lb />
Year:<lb />
Shaun Alexan-<lb />
der, RB, Seattle: Alex-<lb />
ander has just been<lb />
the man In Seattle.<lb />
TheSeahawksareln<lb />
first place and Alex-<lb />
ander leads the NFL<lb />
in rushing yards and<lb />
touchdowns. He is<lb />
overshadowed by the multi-talented LaDainian<lb />
Tomlinson In San Diego, but it's time for Alexander<lb />
to get his due.<lb />
NFL Defensive Player of the Year:<lb />
Cato June, LB, Indianapolis: June, like Thur-<lb />
man, has been all over the field for the Colts and<lb />
carried the Colts for the first month of the season,<lb />
scoring two touchdowns in consecutive games<lb />
off Interceptions. He Is second in the NFL with<lb />
five interceptions and 11 in the league tackles.<lb />
Miami's Zach Thomas, Green Bay's Nick Barnett<lb />
and Pittsburgh's Troy Polumalu have all been<lb />
outstanding, but June has made more big plays on<lb />
defense than anyone else.<lb />
NFL Comeback Player of the Year:<lb />
Steve Smith, WR, Carolina Panthers: Smith has<lb />
returned from a season-ending knee injury in 2004<lb />
with a vengeance. He leads the NFL in receiving<lb />
yards and touchdowns and is a solid MVP candi-<lb />
date as he makes quarterback Jake Delhomme look<lb />
better every week.<lb />
NFL MVP:<lb />
Carson Palmer, QB, Cincinnati: Edgerrin James,<lb />
LaDainian Tomlinson, Steve Smith and Shaun<lb />
Alexander all have cases for MVP, but Palmer has<lb />
taken a Cincinnati team that people thought might<lb />
make the playoffs to one that is a shoe-in for the<lb />
post-season and may win the AFC North. Would<lb />
the Bengals be there without Palmer's outstanding<lb />
play? No. He is second in the league In quarterback<lb />
rating and leads the NFL in touchdown passes.<lb />
NFL's Surprise team:<lb />
The Cincinnati Bengals. Behind the play of<lb />
Palmer and a defense that is better than advertised,<lb />
the Bengals are no longer the Bungles. A team that<lb />
some "experts" thought would be a 9-7 borderline<lb />
playoff team is 7-2 and leading its division.<lb />
NFL's Most Disappointing team:<lb />
The Green Bay Packers. Some may say the Vikings,<lb />
but the Packers have won the NFC North three straight<lb />
years and Brett Favre has never tasted a losing record in<lb />
Green Bay. That run will most likely end this season.<lb />
Minnesota constantly underachieves, so their disap-<lb />
pointing play is really no big surprise. Green Bay Is 2-7<lb />
following its upset win at Atlanta, while injuries have<lb />
taken their toll on the Packers. Favre is trying to carry<lb />
a team down to its 5string running back and without<lb />
two of his top three receivers. More heart-breaking to<lb />
Packers fans is that they are just a play or two away in<lb />
every game from being 7-2 or 8-1.<lb />
Revised Super Bowl pick:<lb />
Indianapolis over Seattle. Seattle is playing the<lb />
best in the NFC with a dominant running game<lb />

Players, owners agree on<lb />
harsher penalties for steroids<lb />
Major league players and owners<lb />
agreed to toughen penalties for<lb />
steroid use to a 50-game suspension<lb />
for a first failed test, 100 days for<lb />
a second and a lifetime ban for<lb />
a third. Baseball also will test for<lb />
amphetamines for the first time<lb />
starting next year under the deal,<lb />
which must be ratified by both sides.<lb />
Baseball's current steroid penalties<lb />
are a 10-day suspension for a first<lb />
offense, 30 days for a second offense<lb />
and 60 days for a third. The earliest<lb />
a player could be banned for life is a<lb />
fifth offense. The sport's second new<lb />
steroids agreement in 10 months<lb />
came after lengthy negotiations<lb />
prompted by urging from Congress -<lb />
Including the threat of legislation that<lb />
would require higher penalties and<lb />
stricter testing standards. Last week,<lb />
McCain and Sen. Jim Bunning, R-Ky,<lb />
revised their proposed legislation to<lb />
soften the penalties from two years<lb />
for a first offense and a lifetime ban<lb />
for a second. The bill now calls for<lb />
a half-season ban for a first positive<lb />
test, one season for a second and a<lb />
lifetime penalty for a third. Their bill<lb />
would apply to the major leagues,<lb />
the NFL, NBA, NHL and baseball's<lb />
minor leagues. While Davis didn't<lb />
immediately address how Tuesday's<lb />
news might affect pending legislation,<lb />
he did issue a statement calling the<lb />
agreement "the type of self-initiated<lb />
action we were hoping for all along<lb />
Under the new deal, according to<lb />
congressional aides, a first positive<lb />
test for amphetamines will lead<lb />
to mandatory additional testing, a<lb />
second offense will draw a 25-game<lb />
suspension, and a third offense gets<lb />
80 games. A player will be tested<lb />
during spring training physicals and<lb />
at least once in the regular season,<lb />
plus the possibility of random tests.<lb />
The old agreement called for a<lb />
minimum of one test from the start<lb />
of spring training through the end of<lb />
the regular season,<lb />
Galley, Georgia Tech agree to<lb />
five-year contract<lb />
Georgia Tech coach Chan Gailey<lb />
made improvements in the program<lb />
that earned him a five-year, $5 million<lb />
contract. The deal, announced<lb />
Tuesday, runs through 2010. Gailey's<lb />
future at Tech had been the subject<lb />
of Increased speculation since the<lb />
end of the 7-5 2004 season - his third<lb />
straight seven-win finish. After the<lb />
season, athletic director Dave Braine<lb />
said he expected the team to be<lb />
better this year. On Tuesday, Braine<lb />
said Galley had met that demand<lb />
even though Tech Is 6-3 with games<lb />
left against No. 3 Miami on Saturday<lb />
night and No. 14 Georgia on Nov. 26.<lb />
If Tech loses to Miami, it would finish<lb />
with a 4-4 recorcjin Atlantic Coast<lb />
Conference games for the fourth<lb />
straight year under Galley. Braine<lb />
said Gailey did not ask for a raise<lb />
from his current $1 million salary.<lb />
Gailey, a former Dallas Cowboys<lb />
coach, was entering the final year<lb />
of his contract. Thft was reworked<lb />
and four years added on. Braine said<lb />
high academic standards make Tech<lb />
one of the three toughest jobs In the<lb />
nation for a football coach. Braine<lb />
identified Army and Notre Dame as<lb />
the other toughest jobs.<lb />
McNabb doubtful for game<lb />
against Giants<lb />
Donovan McNabb is unlikely to<lb />
play In Philadelphia's game against<lb />
the New York Giants on Sunday<lb />
because of a groin injury. McNabb<lb />
injured his groin while trying to tackle<lb />
Dallas' Roy Williams after throwing an<lb />
interception. Williams returned the<lb />
pick 46 yards for a touchdown with<lb />
2:43 left to lead the Cowboys to a 21-<lb />

A look at the best free<lb />
agents available<lb />
OPINION<lb />
JEFFFELTON<lb />
STAFF WRITER<lb />
After the World Series, base-<lb />
ball fans still have football, bas-<lb />
ketball and hockey to watch. But<lb />
the winter months bring about<lb />
free agency and trade rumors<lb />
for Major League Baseball and<lb />
that is always exciting. This<lb />
year's free agent crop is not as<lb />
deep as past years. There are no<lb />
real super-superstars waiting for<lb />
gargantuan contracts. Not only<lb />
is the market shallow, trades will<lb />
be a tie-in with free agents.<lb />
So with that in mind, here are<lb />
the top 10 free agents available.<lb />
There are two leadoff<lb />
hitters in demand this year, the<lb />
Atlanta Braves SS Rafael Furcal<lb />
and the Boston Red Sox' CF<lb />
Johnny Damon.<lb />
Furcal started the 2005<lb />
season slow with a .220 average<lb />
then took off with a .333 average<lb />
the second half of the season.<lb />
Furcal also set a career high in<lb />
stolen bases with 46. Not only<lb />
has his hitting improved, but<lb />
also his defense at shortstop this<lb />
past season was stellar. Furcal<lb />
committed only 15 errors com-<lb />
pared to 24 in 2004 and also<lb />
brings speed and a cannon for<lb />
an arm to the table.<lb />
He should be able to com-<lb />
mand a big salary, around $10<lb />
million per year according to his<lb />
agent. Possible suitors for Furcal's<lb />
services include the Atlanta<lb />
Braves, Chicago Cubs and the<lb />
New York Mets. Furcal will more<lb />
than likely end up with the Cubs,<lb />
due to the fact that they have<lb />
told incumbent shortstop Nomar<lb />
Garciaparra to hit the road.<lb />
Johnny Damon had another<lb />
stellar year for the Boston Red<lb />
Sox, hitting .316 with 10 home<lb />
runs and 75 RBI. Damon also<lb />
scored 117 runs for the defend-<lb />
ing world champs. While Damon<lb />
won't win any Gold Gloves in<lb />
center field, he still is a depend-<lb />
able defensive outfielder. Top<lb />
suitors for Damon are the Boston<lb />
Red Sox and of course the New<lb />
York Yankees. Damon can<lb />
definitely expect a big contract,<lb />
but will more than likely return<lb />
to Boston.<lb />
The market for closers this<lb />
year is rich, with B.J. Ryan, Billy<lb />
Wagner and Todd Jones on the<lb />
market. Many teams need a<lb />
closer, and out of the three, Billy<lb />
Wagner can expect the most<lb />
money. Ryan converted 36 out of<lb />
41 save opportunities for the Bal-<lb />
timore Orioles and also sported<lb />
a 2.43 ERA. You can expect the<lb />
Orioles to re-sign Ryan what with<lb />
their focus changing to pitching<lb />
with the addition of pitching<lb />
coach guru Leo Mazzone.<lb />
Billy Wagner had another<lb />
All-Star year for the Philadelphia<lb />
Phillies with a 1.51 ERA and<lb />
38 out of 41 save chances. The<lb />
Atlanta Braves, Phillies, Mets<lb />
and possibly Red Sox are in the<lb />
mix for Wagner, but depending<lb />
on whether they can re-sign<lb />
Furcal, the Atlanta Braves will<lb />
land Wagner.<lb />
Veteran shortstop Nomar<lb />
Garciaparra was told by the<lb />
Chicago Cubs to seek out other<lb />
options, but the past few years<lb />
have seen Nomar on the disabled<lb />
list. Last season he was out for<lb />
three and a half months but still<lb />
hit .318 in 48 games. If, and that<lb />
is a big if, he can stay healthy,<lb />
Garciaparra can still hit and can<lb />
still play short, but apparently<lb />
there is not the big of an interest<lb />
in him at the moment. He could<lb />
possibly end up traded.<lb />
World Series Champion Paul<lb />
Konerko is the big power hitter<lb />
on the market this year. Konerko<lb />
hit 40 HRs and drove in 100 for<lb />
the champion Chicago White<lb />
Sox. The White Sox are definitely<lb />
the number one contender for<lb />
Konerko, and he will more than<lb />
likely re-sign.<lb />
Of starting pitchers on the<lb />
market, the top guy has to be<lb />
ex-Florida Martin A.J. Burnett.<lb />
Though 12-12, Burnett struck<lb />
out 198 in 209 innings pitched<lb />
and posted a 3.48 ERA in 2005.<lb />
Burnett is only 28 years old and<lb />
still has plenty of years left. The<lb />
Baltimore Orioles, Toronto Blue<lb />
Jays, Boston Red Sox, New York<lb />
Yankees and the New York Mets<lb />
are possible buyers. Burnett will<lb />
ink a deal with either Baltimore<lb />
or Toronto.<lb />
Jarrod Washburn of the Los<lb />
Angeles Angels of Anaheim, is<lb />
another of the top starters on the<lb />
market. Washburn helped lead<lb />
the Angels to the AL West divi-<lb />
sion title and an appearance in<lb />
the American League Champion-<lb />
ship Series. With a 3.20 ERA and<lb />
94 strikeouts in 177.1 innings,<lb />
Washburn won't see Randy<lb />
Johnson type money, but will<lb />
be a key addition to any starting<lb />
staff, what with his postseason<lb />
experience. The Angels will prob-<lb />
ably keep Washburn.<lb />
Brian Giles of the San Diego<lb />
Padres, would be a great fit for<lb />
any team with a hole in the<lb />
power department. Giles hit .301<lb />
with 15 HRs and drove in 83.<lb />
Though his power numbers are<lb />
low, you can't fault him for that,<lb />
because he has spent the past<lb />
three years in Petco Park, which<lb />
has a very cavernous outfield.<lb />
The Padres are the likely choice<lb />
for Giles, but I wouldn't be sur-<lb />
prised to see him playing for the<lb />
San Francisco Giants.<lb />

No-frills, no-fun Panthers<lb />
Minorities have<lb />
little hope when<lb />
getting it done this season vacancies open<lb />
John Fox looks out onto the field during the Panthers' 30-3 win over the New York Jets Sunday afternoon.<lb />
(AP) � Caught up in the thrill<lb />
of their sixth consecutive victory,<lb />
two Carolina Panthers broke one<lb />
of coach John Fox's major rules.<lb />
They lost their composure and<lb />
talked a little trash.<lb />
Cornerback Ken Lucas, the<lb />
newest member of Carolina's<lb />
defense, accused the New York<lb />
Jets of quitting late in the Pan-<lb />
thers' 30-3 win because the Jets<lb />
were running the ball instead of<lb />
trying to throw it.<lb />
And linebacker Will Wither-<lb />
spoon, seemingly ready to take<lb />
on the world after his late inter-<lb />
ception return for a touchdown,<lb />
brazenly predicted the Panthers<lb />
can beat the Falcons in Atlanta in<lb />
a game not scheduled for another<lb />
seven weeks.<lb />
So it was no surprise when<lb />
Fox returned to work this week<lb />
wound tighter than a spring.<lb />
Fox-coached teams don't talk<lb />
trash. They don't look ahead.<lb />
They don't celebrate. They find<lb />
the worst in every situation.<lb />
Heck, sometimes it seems as if<lb />
smiling might be prohibited.<lb />
Need an example? Moments<lb />
after Sunday's defensive domi-<lb />
nation, Julius Peppers looked<lb />
disgusted.<lb />
"It was real spotty. We gave<lb />
up way more rushing yards than<lb />
we should have the defensive<lb />
end said, his shoulders square<lb />
and his jaw tight. "That's an area<lb />
we're going to have to improve<lb />
In<lb />
Pity these pessimistic Pan-<lb />
thers, unable to appreciate six<lb />
forced turnovers, four sacks and<lb />
137 yards rushing allowed.<lb />
That's the way they've been<lb />
trained by Fox, who has spent his<lb />
three-plus seasons as head coach<lb />
convincing the Panthers they<lb />
are always - ALWAYS - just "one<lb />
game away from disaster<lb />
When asked about the impli-<lb />
cations of Sunday's win over New<lb />
York it kept Carolina on pace<lb />
with Seattle for the best record<lb />
in the NFC and gave the Panthers<lb />
sole possession of first place in<lb />
their division Fox only found the<lb />
gloom and doom.<lb />
"We are 7-2 and the worst we<lb />
can do is 7-9, that's all I know<lb />
he said. "We could go out and<lb />
stumble next week and we'll be<lb />
the worst team on the planet<lb />
again<lb />
C'mon, Foxy, lighten up a<lb />
little bit. That's far-fetched with<lb />
the way the Panthers are play-<lb />
ing.<lb />
In many respects, it's the<lb />
same team that went to the Super<lb />
Bowl two years ago. Only better<lb />
if duller.<lb />
Since the bye week (Oct.<lb />
7.3), Carolina has beaten its last<lb />
three opponents by a combined<lb />
102-30. The Panthers have a<lb />
legitimate MVP contender in<lb />
Steve Smith, who leads every<lb />
major receiving category, and<lb />
the vaunted defense is finally<lb />
playing like one of the best in<lb />
the league.<lb />
During their dramatic run to<lb />
the NFC championship in 2003,<lb />
quarterback Jake Delhomme led<lb />
the Panthers on seven game-<lb />
winning drives in the final two<lb />
minutes or overtime. It was<lb />
Delhomme's first season as an<lb />
NFL starter, his first season in<lb />
Carolina and his late-game dra-<lb />
matics earned the Panthers the<lb />
name "the Cardiac Cats<lb />
Now in his third season as<lb />
starter, Delhomme was expected<lb />
to allow Panthers fans to breathe<lb />
a little easier. He didn't through<lb />
their first four victories, needing<lb />
last-minute efforts to pull out<lb />
the wins.<lb />
Part of that could be because<lb />
the Panthers were still adjusting<lb />
not to new faces, but to getting<lb />
old faces back in familiar places.<lb />
Remember, Carolina lost more<lb />
than a dozen players to season-<lb />
ending injuries during last year's<lb />
7-9 Super Bowl follow-up.<lb />
That included Smith, who<lb />
had to slide into the role of No.<lb />
1 receiver opened when Muhsin<lb />
Muhammad signed with the Chi-<lb />
cago Bears, and Stephen Davis,<lb />
who at 31 is considered ancient in<lb />
running back years and is coming<lb />
off major knee surgery.<lb />
So it took some time for<lb />
Delhomme to adjust. He needed<lb />
to find another receiver besides<lb />
Smith that he was comfortable<lb />
throwing to, and the Panthers<lb />
needed to see how much Davis<lb />
has left in his tank.<lb />
Fox will always try to run the<lb />
ball first, and despite Davis' poor<lb />
yardage totals this season (only<lb />
487 yards through nine games),<lb />
he isn't giving up on that.<lb />
Davis can still bulldoze his<lb />
way into the end zone - of his<lb />
12 TDs rushing nine are 1-yard<lb />
plunges. But for the Panthers<lb />
to continue rolling they'll need<lb />
more yards on the ground.<lb />
"I don't think we have arrived<lb />
yet Fox said. "But I don't think<lb />
there are too many head coaches<lb />
sitting around today thinking<lb />
they have<lb />
It's critical Carolina improves<lb />
in that area, if for no other<lb />
reason than to have more than<lb />
one offensive weapon. Three<lb />
teams have shut down Smith this<lb />
season by moving a safety up<lb />
to double-cover him, including<lb />
the Jets, who held him to three<lb />
catches for 34 yards.<lb />
So until Delhomme feels he<lb />
can throw to Keary Colbert or<lb />
Rod Gardner as often as he does<lb />
to Smith, the Panthers need Davis<lb />
and backup DeShaun Foster to get<lb />
the ball moving.<lb />
Or do they?<lb />
With Carolina's defense play-<lb />
ing as well as it is, perhaps the<lb />
Panthers can rely on that. After<lb />
all, their six forced turnovers<lb />
against the Jets led to 20 points<lb />
and broke open the game behind<lb />
Lucas' back-to-back picks.<lb />
A $36.5'million free agent,<lb />
Lucas has tried his hardest to<lb />
fit in as the only new face on a<lb />
close defensive unit. He took a<lb />
popular player's starting job away<lb />
from Ricky Manning Jr and was<lb />
highly paid to do so. It could have<lb />
created some resentment in the<lb />
locker room, but Fox wouldn't<lb />
allow it and forced the Panthers<lb />
to focus on the big picture.<lb />
Now, if only Lucas would<lb />
learn to temper his comments,<lb />
everyone in Carolina could con-<lb />
tinue on with their tightlipped<lb />
smiles all the way toward another<lb />

and Urban Meyerat two flagship<lb />

The questions were dis-<lb />

Could the Gators have hired<lb />
Spurrier if they'd tried harder?<lb />
Did Spurrier mislead Florida<lb />

practices in college football. The<lb />
letter grades for college presi-<lb />
dents and ADs were so abysmal<lb />
you'd have thought you were<lb />
looking at the report card of a<lb />
Cincinnati basketball player.<lb />
Of the 30 Division I-A and<lb />
I-AA schools that hired coaches<lb />
last year, more than half received<lb />
average, below-average or failing<lb />
grades.<lb />
"This is worse than last<lb />
year BCA Executive Director<lb />
Floyd Keith said. "In society,<lb />
a 'C' means average. On this<lb />
report card, it represents the<lb />
status quo, and in terms of diver-<lb />
sity that is unsatisfactory<lb />
A school's final grade is<lb />
based on five categories and<lb />
although the University of Flor-<lb />
ida received passing grades in<lb />
most categories, the school got<lb />
an overall D because it flunked<lb />
the final exam: The Gators<lb />
failed to interview a minority<lb />
candidate.<lb />
Meanwhile, South Carolina<lb />
received F's across the board<lb />
because former athletic direc-<lb />
tor Mike McGee hired Spurrier<lb />
without a formal search.<lb />
"Maybe in hindsight<lb />
(McGee) could have interviewed<lb />
a minority, but that would have<lb />
been misleading Spurrier says<lb />
now. "I'm sorry the BCA feels<lb />
that way, but hopefully our<lb />
track record in dealing with<lb />
minorities is pretty doggone<lb />
good around here<lb />
Actually, the track record is<lb />
pretty doggone rotten through-<lb />
out college football. It should<lb />
be noted that civil-rights icon<lb />
Rosa Parks was buried in the<lb />
same week the BCA released<lb />
its report. How appropriate. If<lb />
college football's hierarchy had<lb />
been running the Montgomery<lb />
bus system back in '55, Parks<lb />
would have been forced to give<lb />
up her seat to Charlie Weis.<lb />
You want to talk about a<lb />
double standard? Four years ago,<lb />
Notre Dame made Tyrone Will-<lb />
ingham the first black coach<lb />
in school history. Three years<lb />
later, the school made history<lb />
again by firing Willingham the<lb />
first time a Notre Dame coach<lb />
wasn't allowed to finish out a<lb />
contract. Weis, after starting his<lb />
first season with a 5-2 record,<lb />
was given a 10-year contract<lb />
extension. Willingham started<lb />
his first season 8-0 and was<lb />
given a pat on the back.<lb />
Willingham, now at Wash-<lb />
ington, is one of only three<lb />
black coaches among the 119<lb />
schools in Division I-A. The<lb />
common theory is that there are<lb />
few qualified black candidates<lb />
for ADs to pick from, but that's<lb />
a copout. Isn't the real reason<lb />
because college football, more<lb />
than any other sport, is run<lb />
by a good ol' boy network of<lb />
rich, white boosters who want a<lb />
coach who looks like them, talks<lb />
like them and yuks it up with<lb />
them on the golf course?<lb />
This is not to say South<lb />
Carolina shouldn't have hired<lb />
Spurrier and Florida shouldn't<lb />
have hired Meyer, but why not<lb />
at least interview a black coach<lb />
to give him a chance to make an<lb />
impression for down the road?<lb />
When hiring coaches,<lb />
administrators always say<lb />
they're looking for a coach who<lb />
is the right fit.<lb />
Don't they really mean<lb />
they're looking for a coach who<lb />
is the white fit?<lb />
