ANIMALREPORT Cat scratch A Belgian airliner made an emergency landing after a cat got into the cockpit and attacked the co-pilot. The flight from Brussels to Vienna had been in the air 20 minutes when a passenger’s pet escaped from its cage. It slipped into the cockpit when meals were being delivered to the crew and became agitated and nervous. The cat scratched the copilot’s arm. To avoid a “cat-astrophe,” the pilot and 58 passengers returned to Brussels. PETERSON TRIAL 6 » SCOTT’S GAL PAL AMBER TALKS OF THEIR TRYSTS ‘Toothless tiger’ Schumer slams Bush proposal for national intelligence chief BY MICHAEL CLANCY amNewYork Staff Writer The White House “is doing a terrible job” on homeland security and President Bush’s proposal for a director of national intelligence would be a “toothless tiger,” Sen. Charles Schumer said yesterday. In an editorial board meeting with amNewYork, Schumer said creating a new director of national intelligence without budgetary power and the ability to hire and fire department heads, including the CIA director, would not improve U.S. intelligence gathering. “It would make it a toothless tiger,” Schumer said. “You may as well have the 9/11 commission report, wonderful document that it is, sitting on a shelf gathering dust.” New York’s senior Democratic senator called Rep. Porter Goss (RFla.), whom Bush nominated yesterday to run the CIA, “a good man.” Schumer noted that Goss has New York roots and said he didn’t have a problem with putting a Republican in that post. But he added that Goss’ confirmation hearings would provide a good opportunity to examine the 9/11 commission’s recommendation to create a national intelligence czar with real power. “My questions to Porter Goss are going to be are you for ceding your authority, or some of it, to the director of national intelligence? What’s your position on that? Why would you take this job, if you were gonna give that up? But if you’re not, I won’t support you,” Schumer said. Schumer also demanded to know who leaked the name of Mohammed Naeem Noor Khan, the Al Qaeda computer guru captured in Pakistan. (KATE GEORGE/AMNEWYORK) GASSY AUSSIE NATIONAL Sen. Charles Schumer told amNewYork that Rep. Porter Goss (R-Fla.), President Bush’s choice to be the new director of the CIA, is a “good man,” but that the United States needs a director of national intelligence who can control this country’s intelligence gathering. Khan’s name was leaked to reporters last week as the administration defended the latest terror alerts that warned of strikes against financial institutions in America. “The leak of this man’s name may have been the greatest mistake in the war on terror,” Schumer said. “The word is that no one knew this guy was caught and they were having him interconnect computers with all sorts of Al Qaeda agents and they were not yet finished. The Pakistani Interior Minister said it’s a disgrace that the U.S. leaked this. They blamed us and said that if we had more time, it might even have led to (Osama) bin Laden.” But Schumer did defend the terrorist warning issued on Sunday, Aug. 1, saying that he also would have made the information public because it involved financial institutions, truck bombs and terrorists crossing land borders at Canadian or Mexico — three Al Qaeda hallmarks. “When you get that kind of information, you have no choice but to tell law enforcement,” Schumer said. “You have to tell five or six hundred law enforcement officials and once you do that, it leaks.” amNY local WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 11, 2004 Feds say tech wiz ran terrorist site out of New Jersey NEW BRUNSWICK — Federal authorities are investigating New Jersey resident Mazen Mokhtar, a technologically savvy Internet whiz who they say operated a Web site soliciting funds and recruiting fighters for the Taliban and other Muslim warrior groups. Mokhtar is listed in Internet directories as the registrant and administrative and technical contact for the Web site www.minna.com, which authorities said is an exact duplicate of one run by Babar Ahmad, who was arrested last week in London and charged with aiding terrorists. A neighbor, William Copprue, said plainclothes law enforcement officers searched Mokhtar’s apartment several months ago, hauling away several large black bags of items in a search that lasted about half the day. The FBI’s Newark field office referred inquiries on Mokhtar to the New Haven, Conn., office, which declined comment yesterday. Ahmad has not been charged with any crime, but an arrest warrant issued July 28 by a federal judge in Connecticut accuses Ahmad of running several Internet sites used to support and raise money for the Taliban regime in Afghanistan and Mujahadeen Islamic militants in other countries. But Mokhtar’s friends paint a far different picture of a devout, peaceful Muslim who taught classes on Islam and sometimes led Friday prayer services. “It doesn’t seem like he was involved with anything like that,” said Asim Uzmani, a board member of the New Brunswick Islamic Center, where Mokhtar volunteered to lead prayers at the small storefront mosque about twice a month. Uzmani said he spoke to Mokhtar a few days ago. (AP) Mosque leaders get no bail in terror case (AP) 02 Yassin Muhiddin Aref, left, and Mosharref Hossain are led out of federal court after being denied bail yesterday in Albany. ALBANY — A federal judge yesterday rejected bail for two leaders of an Albany mosque charged in an FBI sting involving a purported plot to assassinate the Pakistani ambassador to the United Nations. | GO GO BAG $215 Federal Magistrate David Homer said the government has sufficiently shown that Yassin Muhiddin Aref, 34, and Mohammed Mosharref Hossain, 49, are a threat to the community and are a flight risk. A 19-count indictment, unsealed Monday, charges Aref and Hossain with conspiring to launder money and promote terrorism. It did not provide details about allegations they are tied to an extremist group linked to Al Qaeda. The indictment chronicles exchanges of money that authorities allege was for a fictitious missile sale. It claims that in a Feb. 12 meeting, the men believed the attack on the ambassador would take place the following week. Authorities said the men were paid $50,000 and Hossain was to disguise the source of the money by writing checks — $2,000 at a time — back to the informant from his businesses, which include rental properties. An FBI informant who told Aref and Hossain he was an arms dealer asked the two suspects to launder money for profit from the sale of a shoulder-fired missile that would be used to kill the diplomat in New York City, according to the federal complaint. Pakistani officials have protested the FBI’s tactics used in the sting operation. Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Masood Khan condemned the FBI sting operation, saying it was bizarre and dangerous. “This has increased our ambassador’s and our mission’s vulnerability . . . and could have endangered the life of our ambassador,” Khan said in a statement. He said Pakistan had filed a protest with the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad. Aref and Hossain have been jailed since Thursday. Yesterday, defense lawyers Kevin Luibrand and Terry Kindlon asked Homer to set bail, saying their clients were needed by their families. They also called the case entrapment since there was no assassination plot. Aref ’s lawyer, Kindlon, said the entire case is based on government fabrication. “The facts of this case exist in the imagination of the government,” he said. (AP) Contract talks stalemate Police and firefighters announced an impasse yesterday in their contract negotiations with the Bloomberg administration, refusing to rule out a strike or sickouts during the Republican National Convention. 158 ALLEN STREET (Between Stanton & Rivington) Tuesday - Saturday 12 - 8 p.m. | & by appointment Tel. 212.982.7048 | www.juttaneumann-newyork.com $10 rebate with this ad “Everyone has a limit, and the mayor needs to know we’re close to our limit,” said Stephen Cassidy, president of the Uniformed Firefighters Association, at a press conference at City Hall. For the last two weeks or so, off-duty police officers have been showing up at Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s daily public appearances and picketing outside Madison Square Garden, the site of the Republican National Convention beginning Aug. 30. Several other city unions, such as District Council 37, the city’s largest, have already accepted a 5% raise plus $1,000 over three years with 2% coming from productivity enhancements such as lower pay and benefits for new hires. A mayor’s spokesman said yesterday that the city’s last offer to the police and fire unions was a $1,000 lump sum payment plus an 8% pay hike — though 5% of the raise would come from productivity enhancements. The police and firefighter unions said they had no intention of accepting productivity enhancements, which they denounced as “givebacks.” Police have been without a contract since July 31, 2002, and firefighters since May 31, 2002. The situation fits a pattern of retroactive contracts and negotiations that routinely ignore expiration dates and end in arbitration. But yesterday, the police and fire union representatives said they deserve more significant raises than other city employees. The police union declared an impasse in its negotiations several weeks ago, while the firefighters said they reached the same conclusion this week. “Mike Bloomberg says we’re no different than people that push paper,” said Cassidy. “It’s an insult to the firefighters and police officers who risk their lives every day.” (AP) local NEWSDIGEST Empire State Bldg dims for Fay Wray NEW YORK CITY The lights of Empire State Building dimmed for 15 minutes last night in tribute to “King Kong” star Fay Wray. The building and Wray achieved international fame in the 1933 film classic when the big ape appeared to climb the skyscraper with the actress in his hand. Wray died in her sleep Sunday in her Manhattan apartment. She was 96. Albany puts back $332M in cuts to education aid ALBANY The Legislature yesterday restored almost $332 million in cuts to student financial aid and in funding to public colleges while guaranteeing no increase in public college tuition for New York resident undergraduates. But whether Gov. George Pataki would veto the action that’s part of more than $1 billion in spending the Legislature plans to add to his executive budget remained unclear. Pataki said he agreed to provisions of the education bill approved by lawmakers, but that he has concerns about how the Legislature plans to pay for it all. States depend on Medicaid cash ALBANY States lack the political will to scale back Medicaid because they have come to depend on the health coverage for the poor as a federal cash cow to fund some other state expenses while subsidizing hospitals and nursing homes, research shows. Instead, the states facing billion-dollar deficits in recent years cut other programs, increased taxes, or secured even more federal Medicaid dollars through the system that matches state spending levels, according to the study by the Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute of Government in Albany. NJ man released in terror trial PATTERSON, N.J. A New Jersey man, the fourth defendant accused of using a Texas-based charity to help finance terrorists, was ordered released from a Dallas jail yesterday by a federal magistrate who noted that instead of fleeing the U.S. he had testified before the grand jury that eventually indicted him. Abdulrahman Odeh pleaded not guilty yesterday to charges including conspiracy, aiding a terrorist group and money laundering. The 45-year-old deli owner in Paterson was ordered to stand trial in October.

To the protesters’ way of thinking, if what the city said was true and the Great Lawn is too small for the 250,000 people planning to protest, then the meadow should be large enough to accommodate the crowd. The city sees it differently. In a letter denying the second application, the department said United for Peace and Justice was asking for a permit for “essentially the same event” and therefore the department “must deny your application for the same reasons.” (AP) LOCAL WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 11, 2004 Children from a Harlem youth group gather in Central Park’s East Meadow yesterday. The Parks Department denied United for Peace and Justice’s second application to protest in in Central Park — this time in the East Meadow — yesterday. “We’re shocked that the city has rejected this application without even seriously considering it,” Dobbs said. “We’re consulting with our lawyers and asking people to contact the Mayor and urge him to change his mind.” A spokesman for Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the protest group would make better use of its time and energy by accepting defeat and focusing on planning Budget’s moving, 41⁄2 months later BY JOEL STASHENKO Associated Press Writer Nearly 41⁄2 months late, the state Legislature finally started passing a new state budget yesterday as lawmakers decried the longest budget impasse in state history. The first of a dozen bills embodying the 2004-05 budget to pass was one boosting state education aid by $740 million in the upcoming school year. Legislative leaders said they would complete the budget adoption process by early Friday, though much of what lawmakers planned to pass hadn’t been agreed to yesterday by Gov. George Pataki. The budget was supposed to have been in place by April 1. Despite the long stalemate between the Democrat-dominated state Assembly and the Republican governor — and the seemingly endless debate about the new spending plan — many legislators as usual grumbled they did not know enough about what they were voting on when they started to see budget measures. “We don’t know what the total cost of this budget is,” Long Island Republican Assemblyman Thomas Barraga said. “What’s the final figure and where do we get all the revenues to pay for it?” After some confusion, state Assembly Ways and Means Committee Chairman Herman Farrell Jr. said the budget will total about $101 billion, or 3% more than the previous state budget. The Legislature has already appropriated more than half that amount through a series of short-term emergency spending bills since April 1. Farrell said improvements such as higher education aid would not have happened in the 2004-05 budget without Assembly Democrats resisting some aspects of the spending plan Pataki advanced in January. their event along the highway. “With less than three weeks to go, the organizers need to concentrate their efforts on making the necessary arrangements and working with the city to ensure a safe event and stop the theatrics,” said Bloomberg spokesman Ed Skyler. That attitude is the most troubling part of this situation, Dobbs said. “This is not about a lawn,” he said. “This is about pure politics.” Queens man: I gave money, equipment to Al Qaeda network A Queens man has admitted meeting with a high-ranking member of Al Qaeda in Pakistan in a scheme to smuggle money, night-vision goggles and other equipment to the terrorist network, officials confirmed yesterday. The terror suspect, Mohammed Junaid Babar, secretly pleaded guilty in June to multiple charges of providing material support to a terrorist organization. He agreed to cooperate with authorities as part of a plea deal. According to a court transcript made public yesterday, Babar told a judge he met with an unidentified Al Qaeda official earlier this year in South Waziristan, a tribal area near the border of Afghanistan. He said he and others had provided money, goggles, sleeping bags and other goods to the terrorist group beginning in 2003. “I understood that the money and supplies that I had given to Al Qaeda were supposed to used in Afghanistan against U.S. or international forces,” he said. Babar, 29, a U.S. citizen of Pakistani descent, also described arranging lodging and transportation for recruits to a “jihad training camp” and providing ammonium nitrate for a bomb plot in London.

They’re doing better than almost any kids who’ve had craniofacial surgery, let alone this complex surgery.” The coming days and weeks will bring more milestones. Now that they can sit up, Clarence and Carl will soon be able to eat by mouth instead of through a tube, Marion said. Physical therapists will teach them to walk. (AP) (AP) The two boys from the Philippines, who were connected at the tops of their heads until last Wednesday night, were breathing on their own and propped into semisitting positions in their sideby-side beds at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx. An Associated Press reporter and photographer were allowed into the twins’ room in the pediatric intensive care unit yesterday. Though still drowsy and drifting in and out of sleep, the boys occasionally looked at each other. One of the boys, Clarence, reached for a rattle held by a nurse. The eyes of both followed their mother, Arlene Aguirre, and they watched kids’ programs on the television set above their beds. Aguirre gently coaxed them to look at each other. “Carl, where’s your brother?” she murmured at his side. “Clarence, where’s your brother?” Until yesterday, the boys had seen each other’s faces only in mirrors and photo- geon who helped separate them with four major operations over 11 months. “This is by far the earliest time babies like this have been able to come off the ventilator,” Staffenberg said. “They have been moving graphs.

Hillary Clinton urged union workers yesterday to register as many new voters as possible and to take roles as poll workers and voting monitors because, she said, Republicans will try to disqualify or discourage potential Democratic voters in November. Sen. Hillary Clinton crucial in determining the nation’s immediate course. “There never has been a more important election, with more at stake,” she said. “This election will set the direction of the country because there are two very different visions.” Clinton’s brief appearance at a midtown hotel focused mainly on what she called the Bush White House’s failed economic policies. “This is an administration that believes America became great because of rich people . . . that only people of wealth and means create jobs,” she said. “We’re not unique because of rich people, but because we created the ladder of opportunity . . . with a balance between those with wealth and power and the ordinary people who built the country and keep it going.” She said the Republicancontrolled Congress had stalled a transportation bill that was “the most important job creation bill in the Senate.” (AP) strict ferry policy A judge has ruled that a Staten Island ferry assistant captain should not have been suspended based on results from an alcohol test, casting legal doubt on the city’s zero-tolerance testing policy imposed after a crash last year killed 11 people. The test was irrelevant because the captain, Robert Sander, had been tested while on dock duty and had not been scheduled to pilot any boats or carry out other “safety-sensitive” tasks, Judge Kara Miller ruled July 29. Miller also said the results were flawed because of mechanical problems with the testing equipment, The New York Times reported yesterday. She recommended the results be thrown out. Tom Cocola, a spokesman with the city Department of Transportation, declined to comment on the case to the Times. Transportation Commissioner Iris Weinshall will decide whether to accept the judge’s recommendation not to punish Sander, who was suspended after failing the breath test March 22. The pilot of the ferry that crashed Oct. 15, Richard Smith, has said he blacked out after taking medications that made him lose consciousness at the helm. Smith pleaded guilty last week to 11 counts of manslaughter. Following the crash, the DOT instituted a zero-tolerance policy for ferry employees who failed drug or alcohol tests. (AP) RUSHHOUR REALITY Govs’ on-and-off affair with transit BY JOE RAPPAPORT amNewYork Columnist New York’s governors don’t often get the credit when they do right by transit riders — and they almost never get the blame when something goes wrong, either. For instance, let’s see a show of hands from everyone who thinks former Mayor Giuliani got you those handy monthly and weekly MetroCard passes. In fact, Giuliani had nothing to do with them. He sat on the sidelines during the debate over how to use a transit surplus in 1997 (they actually had a surplus!) and watched as Gov. Pataki ordered the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to introduce the discounts. Pataki can tell the MTA what to do, since he appoints the MTA’s chairman, executive director and many of the MTA board members. Most important, he also decides how much state money to fork over to city subways and buses. More often, though, governors like Pataki and his predecessor Mario Cuomo have distanced themselves from anything that happens in the city’s subways. Such as the last three fare hikes, which Pataki said he didn’t want. But did he do anything to stop them? I think we know the answer to that. This hands-off tactic doesn’t always work. In 1985, Gov. Cuomo was savaged by straphangers and the Daily News when he wouldn’t act to stop a 10-cent hike, from 90cents to $1. The fare went up, but Cuomo appointed a task force that worked to keep the fare at a buck for the next four years. This year, Pataki is once again the target for groups upset by the proposed fare hike. They say he’s to blame, since he stiffed the transit system on funding. Riffing on the MTA’s idea of selling naming rights for subway stations, NYPIRG Straphangers Campaign’s Gene Russianoff has even suggested that the fare hike, if it goes through, be named the “George E. Pataki Fare Hike.” Got transit Peeves? Comments? E-mail: rushhourreality@lycos.com local WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 11, 2004 amNY 05 who flock Senators pitch plans Pigeons to RNC building to keep the lights on are in for a shock Sens. Charles Schumer and Hillary Clinton promoted separate energy plans yesterday to prevent another blackout like last year’s summer nightmare that left 50 million people without electricity. Both proposals are meant to keep the juice flowing well enough to meet national needs and prevent economic losses, estimated to be billions of dollars in lost commerce caused by the Aug. 14 blackout. Schumer released a 10-page report suggesting that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) should be eliminated and replaced by a new agency responsible for setting and enforcing reliability standards. He compared the nation’s power grid to its highway system and the proposed agency to the Department of Transportation. “Last year’s blackout made it very clear: We need an office with the authority and the know-how to improve the reliability of the grid,” Schumer said. “This office is going to hold the utilities accountable for providing the quality service New Yorkers and all Americans deserve.” Clinton, meanwhile, is still promoting the Electric Reliability Act (ERA) of 2004, which she introduced with three other senators earlier this year. Similar regulations proposed as part of the Senate’s energy bill last fall were “held hostage” by Republicans who opposed other parts of the energy package, Clinton said. Because the blackout was caused, in part, by tree limbs hanging too close to power lines, in violation of voluntary reliability standards established by the North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC), what the nation needs are mandatory standards established and enforced by FERC, Clinton said. The ERA would give FERC the authority to make the rules and punish the companies that don’t fall in line. “The critical first step is to get Congress and the administration to implement mandatory standards,” Clinton told amNewYork. “If we can get those underway, then we can begin to establish a whole new system.” The only real roadblock to progress once the standards are in place is the Bush administration, which has packed FERC with people sympathetic to electric companies’ desire to be free from regulation. But the creation of a new agency wouldn’t solve that problem she said. “If we created a different agency that would have appointments by the President, then we’d run into the same problem,” Clinton told amNewYork. That’s exactly the reason, however, why FERC must be eliminated, Schumer told amNewYork. “They’re not going to be their own watchdogs,” he said.

Arab Bank in the hot seat Five families of U.S. citizens killed in terrorist attacks in Israel added their names to an $875 million lawsuit filed last month against Arab Bank, accusing it of channeling money to Palestinian terrorist groups. The amended complaint, filed in federal court in the Eastern District of New York early yesterday, claims the Texas-based Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development used the New York branch of the Arab Bank to transfer money to Hamas, a Palestinian terrorist organization blamed for dozens of attacks in Israel. The U.S. Justice Department last week indicted the Holy Land Foundation for providing millions of dollars in support to Hamas. The lawsuit, Linde vs. Arab Bank, also claims that Arab bank made insurance payments to beneficiaries of sui- cide bombers. The new plaintiffs include a Westchester family, a Florida family and three families living in Israel, bringing the list of families represented to 10. “We’ve made some detailed allegations and intend to prove that the Arab Bank is used to help finance terrorist groups and that its New York branch is helping to launder the money,” said Mark Werbner, the lead counsel for the families, in a statement. Officials with Arab Bank, based in Amman, Jordan, have denied the allegations, calling them “completely false and totally irresponsible.” “Arab Bank is a globally respected and admired financial institution with a deserved reputation for sound, ethical operations,” the bank said in a statement last month. “This litigation is unfortunate and baseless and will be forcefully defended in the courts.” (AP) TRENTON — Bonnie Tuttle watched her adolescent son go from healthy to seriously ill during the school year. Now she and the parents of nine other students are suing the public school district over mold contamination they say made their children sick. The lawsuit, filed Monday in Superior Court in Woodbury, accuses the Washington Township Board of Education of mishandling a chronic mold problem at two middle schools in the Gloucester County community. The suit demands that the district educate the plaintiffs’ children elsewhere, until it can rid their schools of mold. It also wants to make the district pay for medical monitoring for affected students and seeks a new evaluation of the schools’ air quality. It also demands the school district allow any student who becomes ill after classes resume to transfer. Students and teachers at Orchard Valley and Chestnut Ridge middle schools have complained of headaches, rashes, fatigue, difficulty breathing and other symptoms, the lawsuit says, with toxic conditions in the schools reaching “epic proportions” last school year. Tuttle says her son, Jordan, showed symptoms on the third day of sixth grade last fall and that by March a doctor certified him too sick to attend school. By that point, he had missed 33 days, she said. The mold problem surfaced shortly after the schools were built in 1988. Louis Giansante, the Moorestown lawyer representing the parents and children, said yesterday the district’s remediation effort has been slipshod.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A Pakistani citizen is in federal custody after being arrested by a police officer who spotted him videotaping the 60story Bank of America headquarters and another skyscraper in Charlotte. The officer who arrested Kamran Akhtar, 35, said he tried to walk away when officers approached him on July 20 and gave conflicting statements about what he was doing and where he was going. Videotapes in Akhtar’s possession also showed buildings in Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, New Orleans and Austin, as well as transit systems in those cities and a dam in Texas, according to officials. Akhtar was charged in indictments unsealed yesterday with violating immigration and naturalization laws and making a materially false statement. (AP) (AP) President Bush speaks in the Rose Garden, yesterday along with Rep. Porter Goss, R-Fla., left, after he picked Goss, head of the House intelligence committee, to be the new director of the CIA. “The selection of a politician — any politician from either party — is a mistake,” said Sen. Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee. “Having independent, objective intelligence going to the president and the Congress is fundamental to America’s national security.” Former CIA chief Stansfield Turner, a supporter of John Kerry’s bid for the presidency, called Goss’ selection “a terrible appointment” and said it was intended “to help George Bush win votes in Florida.” More broadly the nomination reinforced Bush’s efforts to keep the nation focused on the war on terrorism.

Police: Teen didn’t have bomb targets RALEIGH A North Carolina teenager charged with possessing more than a dozen pipe bombs did not appear to have any targets for the weapons when he was arrested after fleeing a traffic accident, police said yesterday. Jarrett Brown, 17, was arrested Monday after police found six bombs in a car he was driving and more bombs and explosive-making chemicals in his home. Fewer people killed on U.S. highways WASHINGTON Fewer people were killed or injured on U.S. highways last year, a decline that regulators said owed much to an increase in seat belt use and a decrease in accidents involving drunken drivers. Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta said yesterday that 42,643 people died in traffic crashes in 2003, down 362 from the previous year. The drop is more striking for the fact that people did more driving in 2003. When measured by the estimated miles driven, the number of deaths per 100 million miles traveled fell to 1.48, the lowest level since record-keeping began in 1966. Painter charged in truck fire INDIANAPOLIS A fire in a paint truck that killed two men and scarred 11 others was ignited when one of the men inside flicked a lighter at lacquer spilled during horseplay, a prosecutor said in filing charges yesterday. Tommy McElroy was among 13 painters trapped in the fire July 29, 2003, as they drove along an interstate highway. He faces two counts of reckless homicide and one count of criminal recklessness.

Kids found in fire had throats slashed COLUMBIA Three children found dead in the ruins of their burned South Carolina home had their throats slashed before one of their parents set the fire, authorities said yesterday. The father had recently been accused of molesting one of the children. York County Sheriff’s Capt. Glenn Williams said officials are awaiting test results and plan to investigate further, but added, “We do believe the person that’s responsible died in the fire.” The bodies of Denia Meza, 14, Denise Meza, 8, and Jayro Meza, 5, were found in their charred beds after the fire at their Rock Hill home was extinguished early Monday, said Williams. ‘Buddy’ Cianci’s conviction upheld BOSTON A federal appeals court yesterday upheld the corruption conviction of former Providence, R.I., Mayor Vincent “Buddy” Cianci, one of New England’s most popular politicians who oversaw a renaissance in his city even as corruption ran rampant in City Hall.

The boat left more than a week ago and was reportedly carrying about 78 people. There were initial reports from the Dominican Navy that some of the migrants who died during the journey could have been thrown (AP) overboard. The call, broadcast in Arabic from U.S. vehicles, came as U.S. helicopter gunships pummeled a multistoried building 400 yards from the golddomed Imam Ali Shrine with rockets, missiles and 30 mm cannons, marking one of the closest strikes yet to what is one of the holiest sites in Shia Islam. Najaf Gov. Adnan al-Zarfi has given U.S. forces approval to enter the shrine, a senior U.S. military official said. But such an offensive would almost certainly cause widespread outrage among the nation’s Shiite majority and exacerbate the crisis. Plumes of thick black smoke rose from the building, which serves as a hotel for visitors to the shrine. Witnesses said insurgents were firing from inside it when U.S. forces returned fire. “We’ve pretty much just Libya shells out $35M to victims and families for Berlin disco attack Libya agreed yesterday to pay $35 million to some victims of a bloody terror bombing at a Berlin disco nearly two decades ago, making another step in Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi’s effort to rebuild relations with the West. The deal, coming after much larger settlements for the bombings of two U.S. and French airliners, does not cover 169 American victims, including two soldiers who died in the blast at the La Belle disco on April 5, 1986. Lawyers are seeking separate compensation for them in U.S. courts. Agreed to by German lawyers and officials of a Libyan foundation run by Gadhafi’s son, the settlement deals with 163 non-U.S. citizens, including Germans who were wounded and the family of a Turkish woman killed by the bomb. “I’m pleased with this fair compromise,” German lawyer Ulrich von Jeinsen said after the agreement was sealed. “After 18 years of waiting by the victims, we wanted to come to a deal now.” In Washington, State Department spokesman Adam Ereli welcomed the accord, but he emphasized that the claims of U.S. victims also must be met. “We’ve made it clear to the Libyans in numerous meetings . . . that this is an issue of importance to us, and we are following it closely, and we think it needs to be resolved,” Ereli said. After the deal was announced, Germany said that it hoped to improve relations with Libya and that Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder would visit Libya soon. Libyan Ambassador Said Abdulaati called the accord “a step forward for the relations of Libya to Germany and the European Union” but said that Libya did not accept guilt for the disco bombing, calling the settlement “a humanitarian gesture.” (AP) (GETTY IMAGES) Mounir el Motassadeq, a Moroccan, is interviewed as he arrives for the opening of his retrial at the Higher Regional Court of Hamburg yesterday. He is the only suspect worldwide convicted over the 9/11 attacks. Motassadeq was sentenced to 15 years in prison in February 2003 for his alleged role in the attacks, but in March a federal court ordered a retrial because a potentially crucial informant was kept from testifying. U.S. forces adopted a new tactic yesterday in their sixth day of battles in this holy Shiite city, sending patrols armed with speakers into the streets, demanding militants loyal to a radical cleric drop their arms and leave Najaf immediately or face death. Men loyal to Iraqi Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr armed with grenade launchers and AK-47 assault rifles take position during clashes between al-Sadr’s al-Mehdi Army and U.S.-backed Iraqi forces in Najaf yesterday. been patrolling and flying helicopters all over the place, and when we see something bad, we blow it up,” said U.S. Marine Maj. David Holahan, executive officer of the 1st Battalion, 4th Marines Regiment. Nearby, Bradley fighting vehicles swept through a massive cemetery to flush out small pockets of militants hiding in elaborate concrete tombs. Choppers provided support, firing rockets from above, witnesses said. Sporadic explosions could be heard elsewhere in the city, and Holahan said militants from al-Sadr’s Mahdi Army militia attacked three police stations, two with small arms fire, one with eight mortar rounds. Despite the violence, Marines said the clashes were much lighter than in recent days, though few expected it to stay that way. “I think it’s the quiet before the storm,” Holahan said. Parts of Najaf were deserted, but residents ventured out into the streets, driving small cars nervously along palmlined roads as huge eightwheeled Marine vehicles moved through town on “show of force” patrols. The fighting, which began last Thursday, has plagued other Shiite communities across Iraq. In Baghdad’s Sadr City neighborhood, groups of three to five Mahdi Army militants attacked a district council hall repeatedly with mortars, gunfire and rocket-propelled grenades, clashing with U.S. and Iraqi forces protecting the building, said U.S. Capt. Brian O’Malley of the 1st Brigade Combat Team. The Health Ministry said the skirmish killed one person and wounded 18. Other clashes in Baghdad killed a second person and wounded 11 others. Also yesterday, a roadside bomb detonated as a U.S. military vehicle drove on a street in central Baghdad, slightly injuring two soldiers, the military said, and clashes between the Mahdi Army and police in the southern city of Diwaniyah killed three and injured 45. A curfew was imposed on the city, witnesses said. (AP) Istanbul bomb attacks kill 2, injure 11; 2 separate groups claim responsibility A previously unknown Kurdish group claimed responsibility for pre-dawn bomb attacks yesterday against two hotels in Istanbul tourist districts that killed two people and injured 11 others. An Al Qaeda-linked group also claimed responsibility for the bomb attacks in a statement posted on a Web site, but Turkish authorities cast doubt on that claim, saying Kurdish separatists were suspected. Bombs rocked the two Istanbul hotels, inexpensive lodging popular among foreign tourists, before dawn yesterday. Two other explosions at a liquefied petroleum gas plant on the outskirts of the city caused damage but no injuries, authorities said. An Iranian and a Turk were killed in the hotel explosions. The injured included four Spanish tourists, two Dutch tourists, a Ukrainian and two Chinese tourists, Turkish and Spanish authorities said. The Germany-based Mezopotamya News Agency, which often reports rebel statements, said it received a telephone call from an individual claiming responsibility for the attacks in the name of the Kurdistan Freedom Falcons Organization — a previously unknown Kurdish group. It said the group carried out the attacks because of recent Turkish military operations against the rebels. No other details were immediately available. The Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades, named for an Al Qaeda commander killed in Afghanistan, also claimed responsibility earlier, saying the attacks were the first of a “wave of operations” in European countries and that worse was to come. “Istanbul is the opening for the bloody war we promised the Europeans,” said the statement posted on an Islamic Web site known for publishing the messages of militant groups. It was not possible to check the authenticity of the claims. (AP) (GETTY IMAGES) American forces call for militants to leave holy city as fighting goes into its sixth day Forensic police examine the site of the Holiday Hotel after a bombing in Istanbul yesterday. Western experts have questioned the credibility of the Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades, noting it has previously claimed to be behind events for which it clearly didn't play a role, such as power failures in North America and Britain. A senior Turkish police official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Turkish authorities had no information to suggest any links to alQaeda, and police suspected involvement by Kurdish rebels. Interior Minister Abdulkadir Aksu said earlier yesterday that Kurdish rebels could be behind the blasts. He added, however, that police were still investigating the possibility that other groups could have been involved. (AP) OPINION 10 amNY WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 11, 2004 STEM CELL RESEARCH BILL SCHORR’S CARTOON BY MARSHA SHYER Holding back progress his week marks the third anniversary of George W. Bush’s “compromise” decision to limit federal funding for embryonic stem cell research. Under this compromise, the government would only support research on stem cell lines derived before Aug. 9, 2001. Three years later we are faced with the reality that only a fraction of the stem cell lines Bush envisioned are available for distribution. Meanwhile, the promise of stem cell research has never been greater. It holds much hope for the development of therapies for diseases like diabetes, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Several recent studies underscore the importance of this research as a basis for critically needed therapies for type 1 diabetes. Insulin-producing cells have already been created in stem cells from mice as well as in preliminary studies using stem cell lines from humans. This hope and promise pushes the stem cell debate beyond party lines. Nancy Reagan and son Ron Reagan publicly support increasing availability of embryonic stem cell lines for use by federally funded researchers. In May, Nancy Reagan spoke at a Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation event, asserting that stem cell research “may provide our scientists with answers that have so long been beyond our grasps. I just don’t see how we can turn our backs on this — there are so many diseases that can be cured, or at least helped.” At the Democratic National Convention, Ron Reagan spoke of a 13-year old girl with type 1 diabetes and the complications she may face, including “blindness, amputation, diabetic coma.” He asked the question “what excuse will we offer this young woman should we fail her now?” In addition, bipartisan groups of more than 200 House members and 58 senators have petitioned Bush to lift the restrictions on stem cell research. For many people whose children and family members face financially draining, debilitating chronic illness, the Bush’s ‘compromise’ case for expanding federal funding of stem cell has impeded, not research is so obvious that advanced progress it does not necessitate defending. A mix of politics and moral constraint has been imposed on the basis of murky, non-scientific reasoning. This has stymied many researchers, some of whom have found it necessary to pursue their research in labs in other countries. In fact, Bush’s “compromise” has impeded, not advanced progress, although the stated purpose was to create an environment where stem cell research could flourish within a framework of scientific, ethical and practical guidelines. If stem cell research is to be developed to its fullest, the federal limitations must be lifted, making additional, viable human embryonic stem cells available to scientists. These lines would need to reflect a widely diverse background necessary for research impacting a range of diseases and disorders. When is a compromise not a compromise? When you look at a child with diabetes injecting herself up to six times a day with insulin, or you watch a parent, ailing with Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s, struggling to get through simple daily tasks, “compromise” means a broken heart.

Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan and his colleagues on the Federal Open Market Committee, the panel that sets interest rates, boosted the target for the federal funds rate to 1.50%. The funds rate, the interest that banks charge each year, had been at a 46-year low of 1% just six weeks ago when the Fed raised it to 1.25%, the first increase in four years. The Fed action this week had been expected as analysts predicted the central bank would continue with its campaign to raise rates even in the face of last Friday’s report that showed job creation slowed to a near-standstill last month.

The Mountain View-based company posted an online notice yesterday announcing plans to end the registration process at 5 p.m. EDT tomorrow. Google plans to launch an unusual auction to sell 25.7 million shares shortly after closing the registration, the company said yesterday. No further details were provided. Most market observers expect the auction for the initial public offering to be completed next week, clearing the way for Google’s shares to begin trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker symbol “GOOG.” But Google hasn’t spelled out a precise timetable for the auction. In its IPO prospectus, the company stresses it can close the auction “at any time.” The prospectus also raises the possibility that the auction could last two or three weeks, noting that bidders will be asked to reconfirm their bids if the process lasts for more than 15 business days. Once Google is prepared to close the auction, the company must ask the Securities and Exchange Commission to give its final approval of the IPO prospectus. After the SEC signs off on the deal, bidders will have a final opportunity to withdraw their bids. The winning bidders in the auction will be notified by e-mail within 24 hours of SEC approval. To participate in the auction, bidders need a 16-digit registration number to present to one of the 28 brokerages handling Google’s $3.1 billion IPO. The company has been distributing the identification numbers since July 30 when it opened a special site, www.ipo.google.com. (AP) Some phone companies don’t think you’re worth it. We do.

But that doesn’t mean the 21year-old star plans on building her carrier around rolls that cater to the bubble gum and braces set. “I’m a 21-year-old in a G-rated movie,” she recently told the AP. This isn’t exactly the kind of artistic choices that I want to be making right now, but at the same time, I’m grateful to be able to make them.” Grateful enough to give up playing the dramatic and musical roles Hathaway spent all those years training for as a singer. After all, she turned down a role in a film version of “The Phantom of the Opera” to finish the Princess sequel. But now she is on to more adult subjects. “Brokeback Mountain” is filming now with Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger, and Hathaway plays Gyllenhaal’s angry and bitter wife. A big difference from the sweet Princess Mia. Apparently director Ang Lee of “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon fame” liked sweet Mia, because he hired the cute redhead for “Brokeback Mountain” without so much as an audition. And which one of these roles is the real Anne Hathaway? “I’m not any of these characters that I play.

His Red Bull-like energy drink that hit stores in June is called “Pimp Juice,” and now two students will be selected for the P.I.M.P scholars program. That’s P.I.M.P. for Positive Intellectual Motivated Person, not a man in a purple fur coat who makes wads of cash with his stable of working girls. The P.I.M.P. scholars programs is sponsored by Pimp Juice” and will award $5,000 two students who have “broadened their horizons through leadership roles in extracurricular activities of all genres.” Advice for applicants: demand the cash upfront. Although Pimp Juice stands to tap into the very lucrative energy drink market, community and religious groups are responding like they did when Ice-T encouraged his fans to shoot police officers. “We’re calling for a national boycott of Nelly's Pimp Juice,” said Najee Ali, Executive Director of Project Islamic Hope. “We feel betrayed by Nelly. He’s someone who's trying to make money by using and marketing an energy drink that's supposed to be healthy. But there’s nothing healthy about using the name pimp. It’s a vile name that's really demeaning and insulting to women.” For more information on becoming a P.I.M.P. scholar, email scholarship@letitloose.com. Entries are due in December. Get ready for a new spice A new Brit band is about to hit the U.S. charts, and this one is a whole lot more Spice Girls than it is Beatles. MisTeeq is an R&P-pop sensation that has been thrilling the London kids and wants to do the same in New York. It’s three members range in age from 19-22, and can move as well as they sing. “Scandalous” is the first U.S. single, and a full album is on the way. Their music ranges from almost electronic rave with sirens and whistles to reggae beats and raps. So move over Posh Spice, Alesha Dixon, Su-Elise Nash and Sabrina Washington are about to take it on. $ $2 310 $1 28 99 En M ds U AU ST GU BR ST ING 14 A TH D! ,2 00 4 ! 04 AD 0 G ,2 IN TH BR 14 ST UST MU UG A ds En 199 rly ea en r Y be d y Ou as ere Onl h w lo ays D 3 3 Day Membership Sale & Open House $ Year THURSDAY, FRIDAY & SATURDAY ONLY!

The film stars Rhys Ifans — who first came to fame, at least in America, playing Hugh Grant’s quirky roommate Spike in “Notting Hill” — in the role of Danny Morgan, a man who dreams of better things than the day-today routine he’s been living for most of his adult life. When the winds of change LISA TOMASETTI Directed by Jeff Balsmeyer, screenplay by Balsmeyer Starring Rhys Ifans, Miranda Otto, Justine Clarke The eponymous Danny (Rhys Ifans) gets a little carried away in the romantic comedy “Danny Deckchair.” blow him, literally, to a town far away from his own, Danny makes the best of his anonymity to become the man he always knew he could be if the people around him didn’t already assume he was the man they’ve always known. The results are very funny and, thanks to some great screen chemistry between the two leading characters, quite romantic. Ifans has built a respectable career out of playing quirky sidekicks in films like “The Replacements,” “Little Nicky” and “Formula 51.” And although he starts out playing just another variation of the same sort of guy in BIZARRO by Dan Piraro “Danny Deckchair” — complete with scraggly beard and long stringy hair — the plot gives him a chance to clean up his act and prove that he can carry a film on his own. His co-star, Miranda Otto — who shot to global fame playing Eowyn in the “Lord of the Rings” movies — proves there’s another side to her, too. She plays Glenda, a timid traffic cop whose backyard Danny crash-lands in. Watching her character come out of her shell is one of the highlights of the film, particularly in the way she avoids all the clichés such a role could have been propped up with. The rest of the cast does a great job supporting Ifans and Otto as they discover who they are and how those people fit together, and writer/director Jeff Balsmeyer does a fantastic job of keeping it rooted in enough reality to make even the more fantastic aspects of the story feel true. The end result is a joyful film that will stay with you long after you leave the theater.

For those who missed the original film when it was released in 2001, “The Princess Diaries” told the tale of Mia Thermopolis, a San Francisco teen who, unbeknownst to herself, was the crown princess of the tiny European country of Genovia. Now, five years later, Princess Mia (Anne Hathaway) finally arrives at her new country to be crowned queen, only to find out there is an ancient law in Genovia that declares a princess can only be a queen if she is married. With a script that plays like it wasn’t so much written as copied out of a Cliff Notes cheat sheet for fairy tales, “Princess Diaries RON BATZDORFF Directed by Garry Marshall, screenplay by Meg Cabot and Gina Wendkos Starring Julie Andrews, Anne Hathaway, Hector Elizondo, Heather Matarazzo 2” offers its audience virtually nothing that wasn’t milked to death for cheap laughs and even cheaper sentiment in the first movie. In fact, there are scenes in this sequel, such as a dance sequence between the Queen of Genovia (Julie Andrews) and her love-sick head of security, Joe (Hector Elizondo), which feel like they were cut and pasted directly from the first film. Director Garry Marshall, whose motto seems to be “I’ve never met a cliché I wouldn’t use,” seems to know he’s got nothing in terms of plot with this one, so he fills the film with lots of inappropriate sight gags, like a poodle chasing a cat and a footman dancing in the hallway. The gags are almost distracting enough to keep the audience from being bored while waiting nearly two hours for this silly bit of fluff to reach its predictable conclusion. Almost.

MEAT AND POULTRY Porterhouse steak rim the tops from the radishes and wash and pat dry. Chop some of the brightest and freshest tops to make two-thirds cup. Pulse the chopped tops with the goat cheese in a small food processor until nearly smooth. Thinly slice the radishes. Slice the baguette thin and lightly toast. Spread two to three teaspoons of the goat cheese mixture on each slice. Top each slice with three or four radish slices and sprinkle with coarse salt. Serve on a platter lined with remaining radish tops. ( L.A. TIMES) T More than a garnish BY RUSS PARSONS The L.A. Times Round and red and crisp, they’re casually tossed on the plate at your favorite taco stand or jumbled in a jar at the salad bar, full of color and crunch but ultimately signifying nothing. But hold on — there’s more to the radish than you might think. The simplest way to prove it is to set out a chilled bouquet of them on a plate with a tub of softened butter and some coarse salt. Smear a radish in the butter and then dip it in the salt. Take a bite. Quarter radishes lengthwise and sprinkle them with lemon juice and salt for another quick nibble. Slice them thin and toss the little red-rimmed moons with butter lettuce; notice how the crisp spice plays against the tender greens. Use a toothpick to spear together a radish half and a bite of silky smoked salmon. You can even eat the leaves. They have the texture of watercress and a bit of its flavor, but with that great mustardy radish bite as well. If you’re roasting or grilling meat, serve it with a simple salad of radishes quartered lengthwise with their tops attached and dress it with vegetable oil, red wine vinegar and a couple tablespoons of the carving juices. Although you can find radishes in the market all year round, this is really the season to get them at their best. While our radish selection most of the year is limited to the familiar round red varieties (“Cherry Belle,” or one of its cousins), in the spring and early summer we get to meet the rest of the family. The so-called “Easter Eggs” aren’t actually a single type of radish, but a seed assortment of various round radish varieties in colors including white, pale pink, purply pink, red and crimson. The long, tapering “French Breakfast” has a mild bite and a red and white color scheme that brings to mind strawberries dipped in cream. Another radish that pops up in the summer is the pure white, very thin “White Icicle,” which is nearly sweet. You might also find the last of the winter varieties, like the black radish, the Central European favorite with a powerful bite, and the Asian radishes, such as the giant daikon and the smaller “shinrimei” (often called watermelon radish in the West due to its pale red heart). Each serving: 148 calories; 7 grams protein; 15 grams carbohydrates; 1 gram fiber; 1 gram fat; 4 grams saturated fat; 12 mg. cholesterol; 268 mg. sodium. (L.A. Times) RADISHTIPS • Look for radishes that are the size of a nickel and no bigger than a quarter. • Braise, roast or glaze radishes in butter to have them lose some of their bite. • Radishes are fast growers that prefer the cooler weather (less than 70º). If they grow too fast they tend to crack or become hollow, which makes for an undesirable radish. RADISHFACTS • Radishes and turnips are members of the same family: brassicas, or mustardy vegetables (along with arugula and broccoli). • The radish’s flavor comes from the chemical isothiocyanate, which can make a nice organic pesticide. Porterhouse steak, also called T-bone, is the best of both worlds. This superior cut is part tenderloin or filet and part shell, giving you both a tender and flavorful steak. Buy a one-and-a-half inch thick steak; one porterhouse steak can generously serve two people. Coat a grill pan with olive oil over high heat; place the steak in the pan and cook for just five minutes on each side for medium rare. When done to your liking, crack a little freshly ground black pepper on top and allow to rest for just a few minutes before serving. Joe Gurrera, Owner, Citarella VEGETABLE Heirloom tomato Heirloom tomatoes’ heritage can be traced backed to the early settlers, who brought this variety to America from Europe. And because they’re so unique, so to are their color, shape and taste. No two look alike. Two examples are Brandywine and Zebra. They’re ideal for grilling or as the main attraction in an heirloom salad.

But don’t let the stone throw you. Our extra large (jumbo) tree-ripe stone fruits are extra-flavorful, sweet and juicy because they’re left on the tree longer. Perfect for out-of-hand enjoyment, or slice and add to your favorite cottage cheese. Jeff Piering, Director of Produce, The Food Emporium VEGETABLE Asparagus Warm weather has produced asparagus that is uniform in size, height and color with ample supplies. It is a perfect time to enjoy asparagus whether you steam, microwave or stirfry it. It is packed with nutrients and easy to prepare for a crowd. To maintain freshness, wrap a moist towel around the stem ends or stand upright in two inches of cold water. Asparagus has no fat or cholesterol and is low in sodium.

White grapes to know include assyrtiko (ahs SEER tee koh), used to make the aforementioned Santorini; rhoditis, used to make Patras white; and savatiano, a grape grown throughout the country.

TIMES) The wines of Greece have made amazing strides in quality, especially in the last decade, and are finally getting the international recognition and respect they deserve. Of course, this sounds ridiculous if you consider that Greece has been making wine for, oh, 3,000 years. Despite the fact that in antiquity Greek traders and colonists pollinated the entire Mediterranean with their wine culture, many wine drinkers today dismiss Greek wine as little more than thin, bitter reds or pinescented white retsinas. Discovering them, however, is a bit of a challenge. Greece’s abundance of native grapes is dizzying, and adding to the confusion is the use of international grapes like chardonnay and cabernet sauvignon. Look for these three regions on labels as guides to quality: Macedonia, in northernmost Greece, which produces a well-known wine called • 3⁄4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about five to seven limes) Serve your shrimp ceviche with radishes in an elegant martini glass for a quick and easy way to dress up your dish.

BY DEAN ORNISH The Washington Post The diagnosis is right, but the prescription is incomplete. Millions more Americans will be prescribed cholesterol-lowering drugs that many, perhaps most, could have avoided by making bigger changes in diet and lifestyle than this panel recommended. Since about $20 billion was spent on these drugs in the U. S. last year (almost $10 billion on Lipitor alone), a lot is at stake. Statin drugs such as Lipitor are effective ways of lowering (GETTY IMAGES) Reducing cholesterol levels saves lives. A recent report by a panel of experts from the American Heart Association and the government’s National Cholesterol Education Program recommended more aggressive treatment of people with elevated cholesterol levels. I agree. People run on treadmills at a New York Sports Club. Exercise is critical in reducing cholesterol levels. cholesterol levels. I prescribe them for patients when indicated. Several large-scale trials have demonstrated that these drugs can reduce heart attacks and premature death and that they may have additional benefits. Clearly, though, it would be better to accomplish the same goals by changing diet and lifestyle, since all drugs have costs and side effects, both known and unknown. As tens of millions of people begin taking these medications for decades, more longterm side effects are likely to become apparent; the statin drug Baycol was taken off the market in 2001 because of toxic side effects. In contrast, it costs nothing additional to eat a healthful diet, walk, meditate and quit smoking, and the only side effects of these behaviors are beneficial. The panel recommended diet and lifestyle changes as a first step for some people. But the diet it recommended has little effect on cholesterol levels, because it doesn’t go far enough; for most people, cholesterol levels decrease only 5%. The authors advised that adults with LDL-cholesterol levels above 100 mg/dL (which includes most adults in the United States) or even above 70 mg/dL (high-risk patients) be treated with drugs right away before finding out if diet and lifestyle changes are sufficient.

(GETTY IMAGES) Healthy meals put issues on the table BY KELLY YOUNG Los Angeles Times A family meal, whether it’s loaded with brussels sprouts or carrots, might provide more than just nutrition. It might also improve teenagers’ emotional health. “The family mealtime could provide kind of an informal check-in time, a little reminder that you’re part of a group of people that care about you,” said Marla Eisenberg, an epidemiologist at the University of Minnesota and the lead author of a new study on the effect of dining as a family. Adolescents who ate five or six meals a week with their families were 7% to 24% less likely to smoke cigarettes or marijuana, drink alcohol, get lower grades, show signs of depression or think about or attempt suicide than teens who had three or four family meals a week, the study found. The more meals the teens ate with families, the less likely they were to have these problems. Family meals appeared to have a more positive effect on girls than boys. Girls who said they ate more than seven meals a week with their families were almost half as likely to report attempting suicide as girls who said they never sat down to eat with their families. Boys who ate more family meals did not have a significantly different risk of suicide than those who ate fewer. Previous studies have shown that family meals were associated with how much children felt their parents cared about them. Children who feel close to their parents have a reduced risk of drug use, emotional problems, violence and sexual activity. In the study, conducted in 1998 and 1999, researchers at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis surveyed 4,746 11- to 18-year-olds in the Twin Cities about their families’ eating habits, their grades, drug use and mental health. Meals didn’t have to be in the evening nor be home-cooked to qualify as family meal. Have you been diagnosed with Angina, Chest pain or other Heart Conditions?

EECP is FDA-Approved and is: Non-Invasive Non-Surgical No Drugs No Needles or IV’s No Sedation Outpatient therapy After EECP® treatment, patients may find that: they can walk farther; carry heavier packages and be more active without having angina; they have fewer attacks of angina; their episodes of angina are less intense; they need less anti-anginal medication; they can return to work, go out to dinner, garden, travel, or enjoy golf, tennis, or bowling once again; they no longer restrict their social lives, volunteer activities, or exercise because they are worried that they will cause angina.

The consumer market for adhesive bandages has exploded, driven by technological advances in hospitals. Lisa Corbett, a nurse at the Center for Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Medicine at Hartford Hospital in Connecticut, says the improved treatment of chronic non-healing wounds, those that persist longer than 30 days, has spun off products now available to the public. As a result, store shelves are these choices, says Todd Andrews, a spokesman for CVS Corp. “But it’s a real benefit to consumers.” As hospital stays grow shorter, he notes, postoperative wound care is increasingly being managed at home. “Our customers have told us, through studies, that they want these products,” Andrews says. Michael Sweeney, a spokesman for 3M’s Nexcare line, says liquid-bandage products are among the newest to catch the interest of consumers. Although they may be more expensive per application, he says, they last longer, which helps bring their cost closer to that of strip bandages. Further refinements will make such innovations more convenient and affordable, Sweeney says. Fred Tewell, product director for Johnson & Johnson’s Band-Aid Brand Adhesive Bandages, says older consumers, a growing group, are buying bandages that are gentle to the skin, such as the liquid type or Band-Aid’s jampacked with products: liquid and spray-on bandages, ionized-silver bandages, waterproof bandages, moistenvironment-promoting bandages and easy-to-remove bandages. Then there are the anti-itch, anti-bleeding and anti-bacterial bandages. Not to mention bandages shaped to fit fingers or Stop Managing Your Pain. My goal is to Eliminate It!

Fat Grafting For Facial Rejuvenation (GETTY IMAGES) Face Lift Learning to forgive others — even without an apology from the offender — can improve your mental, emotional and physical health, studies have shown. Using the ‘f’ word will help you heal stress-promoting anger and improve mental, emotional and physical health. On the other side are critics of the movement, such as Jeffrie G. Murphy, a professor of law, philosophy and religious studies at Arizona State University. Murphy and other contrarians aren’t against forgiveness itself, but against a theory of forgiveness that they see as, well, unforgiving. Murphy, the author of last year’s “Getting Even: Forgiveness and Its Limits,” has no doubt that, for some people, forgiveness brings healing and allows them to move on. “But sometimes,” he said “getting mad and getting even brings closure.” One Connecticut psychotherapist, who asked that her name not be used, found herself consumed by anger and violent revenge fantasies when she discovered that her husband had been having sex with prostitutes — sometimes in the couple’s home while she was away with the children. She was not only betrayed but infected with a sexually transmitted disease. “I thought, ‘I don’t want to live with this anger,’” she said. Following the writings of Enright, other psychotherapists, Buddhist teachers and one-on-one therapy — she was able to forgive her husband and let go of much of her anger. As a therapist, she said, she better understands the power of forgiveness and the importance of not trying to push patients into forgiving. As a result of her own experience, she said, “I think I have more tolerance for people to be angry for a very long time.” Protect your eyes BRAZZO UV, or ultraviolet rays, are a type of energy that is emitted by the sun.

It is good from an early age to protect your eyes with sunglasses with UV filters and wear a hat with a brim. It’s summer, and the sun has been shining quite brightly. BRAZZO It has been suggested by researchers that high doses of UV light can cause problems with the eye, including macular degeneration, one of the leading causes of blindness in the U.S. BY GARRET CONDON The Hartford Courant Forgiveness isn’t always easy, but it’s simple, right? Not really, as it turns out. A number of psychotherapists and academic psychologists have championed the healing power of forgiveness. But the trend also has bred a group of unrepentant critics. On one side is the “forgiveness movement,” a twodecade effort to study the health effects of forgiving. Proponents of therapeutic forgiveness, especially psychologist Robert D. Enright of the University of Wisconsin, have proposed that injured parties can learn to forgive their offenders — with or without an apology from them. Studies show that forgiving those who trespass against us can reduce Q /A: It’s always nice to enjoy a sunfilled view, but if you’re looking without your sunglasses, there may come a day when you won’t enjoy any views.

With the Republican National Convention coming to the city, Time’s Up! is planning on hosting several events to highlight the importance of finding non-polluting methods of transportation and spotlighting the need for elected officials to work on legislation that promotes the well-being of the environment. Past events that the group have participated in include the Critical Mass bike tour that meets up at the end of each month en masse, as it were, for a ride across the city. The Critical Mass tours have become a huge underground phenomenon in the city. If you are looking for a bike yourself to participate in the Bike National Convention, you can always rent bikes, such as at Gotham Bikes (112 W.

He said he wore it yesterday because it was a new one and he wanted to get used to it. Manning started wearing a brace in his junior year at Mississippi. The Giants, coming off a losing season, are counting on Manning, the top pick in the 2004 draft, to turn around the team’s for(AP) tunes. Receiver Antonio Freeman worked out for the Miami Dolphins yesterday, a day after David Boston had seasonending knee surgery. A former Pro Bowler and once Brett Favre’s No. 1 target in Green Bay, Freeman, 32, caught just 14 passes for 141 yards in 15 games with the Packers last season. He could be more help to the Dolphins, who have little experience opposite Chris Chambers at the receiver position. But the Dolphins were still considering whether to sign Freeman, who has spent his entire career in the West Coast offense, which the Dolphins don’t use. Boston tore a tendon in his left knee Friday, moving Derrius Thompson back into a starting role. Thompson was a disappointment in his first season with (AP) the Dolphins. Tim Brown signed yesterday with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a move that reunites the former Oakland receiver with ex-Raiders coach Jon Gruden and general manager Bruce Allen. The 38-year-old, nine-time Pro Bowl receiver will be counted on to bolster a receiving corps that is in desperate need of experienced help because of injuries and Keenan McCardell’s holdout. Brown was released last week after 16 seasons with the Raiders, who told him that he was no better than the fourth or fifth best receiver in a group that included starters Jerry Rice and Jerry Porter. With Tampa Bay, Brown could wind up being a starter with McCardell demanding a raise after a Pro Bowl season and Joe Jurevicius out indefinitely after under(AP) going back surgery. McNair has had offers since sharing the NFL’s 2003 prize with Peyton Manning. It’s just that he prefers staying out of the spotlight and enjoying the quiet life with his family on his 643-acre Mississippi ranch when he’s not on a football field trying to improve. McNair led the NFL with a 100.4 passer rating and was the AFC’s Pro Bowl starter. He threw for 3,215 yards with a career-high 24 touchdowns and career-low seven interceptions in just 14 games. But he knows defenses will be looking to shut him down this season. McNair, 31, is healed from February surgery to remove a bone spur from his left ankle. The injury caused him to miss two games last season and left him hobbling at the end of a playoff loss at New England. A bigger concern is the loss of Frank Wycheck and Eddie George, his longtime tight end and running back. With those two gone, McNair and left tackle Brad Hopkins are the only Titans who played in Houston as Oilers. (AP) Nylander signs with Rangers Nylander will earn $2.9 million next season, and $3 million in each of the next two years of the deal that also includes an option for the 200708 season. With a lockout that threatens next season looming, the Rangers — the NHL’s biggest spenders — had been quiet since the free-agent shopping season began July 1. But general manager Glen Sather decided to bring in the 31-year-old center, who has averaged almost a point per game during his 11 seasons. “Michael is a highly skilled, versatile player who we feel will play a significant role on our team,” Sather said. “He is a very intelligent player who will be an inte- gral part of our special teams play.” Nylander, who earned $2.675 million last season, is joining his third team since March, having been dealt by Washington to Boston at the NHL trading deadline. He was limited to only one goal and 13 assists in 18 games last season because of a broken leg in the preseason that ended his streak of 310 consecutive games played — the league’s longest active run. The native of Sweden scored more than 20 goals twice with the Chicago Blackhawks and had more than 50 points in the four seasons before breaking his right leg. Nylander’s best season was in 2000-01 when he posted career highs of 25 goals and 64 points while playing for Chicago. Boston acquired him from Washington for a sixth-round pick in the 2006 draft, and the Bruins were believed to be interested in re-signing him after he had three goals and three assists in a first-round playoff loss to Montreal.

Not for Tennessee quarterback Steve McNair. • ugh • Liv La e fe Steve McNair is one win away from matching Warren Moon’s total for career wins (70) with the Titans’ franchise. La presented by Li Giants co-owner Robert Tisch has been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. New coach Tom Coughlin informed the team of Tisch’s illness after the morning practice, the Giants said. “Very few of us in the organization knew there was any issue with Mr. Tisch,” Coughlin said. “We are very, very upset about the news. The team is upset. Mr. Tisch is a wonderful guy.” Neither the Giants nor Howard Rubenstein, a Tisch family spokesman, would give specifics about the tumor. Tisch bought half of the team in 1991 from Wellington Mara’s nephew, Tim Mara. The 78-year-old is the chairman of Loews Corp. He served as postmaster general of the U.S. from 1986-88. Since buying a share in the NFL team, Tisch has attended most games. He also has made almost weekly visits to Giants Stadium to watch practice and talk to players. “It’s a jolt,” Pro Bowl defensive end Michael Strahan said. “He’s a great man. I remember some of the things we’ve gone through since I’ve been here and how good he’s always been to me. I’m definitely praying for him.” (AP) amNY (AP) Tisch is fighting tumor WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 11, 2004 rg er tha n MOVIES WEDNESDAY’S TELEVISION NEWS SPORTS KIDS BROADCAST 6:00 6:30 7:00 7:30 8:00 8:30 9:00 9:30 10:00 10:30 11:00 11:30 CBS News Hollywood Sq.

For the facelift, the first for the Summer Games in 76 years, organizers asked artists to submit proposals that included two distinctly Greek elements: a depiction of Nike, the goddess of victory, and the Panathinaikos, the Athens stadium where the first modern Olympics were held in 1896. Ever since the 1928 Olympics, Nike had been shown on the medals, seated on a chariot holding a wreath and an ear of corn, symbolically honoring winning athletes. Next to the goddess was usually a stadium that looked like a Roman amphitheater. (AP) BY MIKE WISE The Washington Post This Olympics will see the first change to the front side of the Summer Olympic medal since the Amsterdam Games in 1928. Nike, goddess of victory Panathinaikon Stadium held the first modern Olympic Games in 1896 (AP GRAPHICS) Olympic flame As rough stereotypes go, America’s greatest swimmers were born privileged white children who grew up on cul-de-sacs sandwiched between California and Florida. Maritza Correia did grow up in Florida, “but that’s about it as far as the regular path goes,’’ she said. Excerpt from Pindar’s Eighth Olympic Ode (460 B.C.) “Let’s see,’’ she continued. “I was born in Puerto Rico and my parents are Guyanese. I was diagnosed with scoliosis at 6 years old and my doctor said I should take up the sport for my back problems. And then I just started getting serious about it.’’ Sleek and powerful in the water, “Ritz,” 22, has already broken freestyle sprint records held by Olympians Amy Van Dyken and Jenny Thompson. And though six world records were set at last month’s U.S. Olympic trials in Long Beach, Calif., Correia made another bit of history: She became the first black woman to swim for the U.S., qualifying for the 400-meter freestyle relay, a year after winning a gold medal for the U.S. in the same event at the 2003 world championships. Maritza began swimming as a child after doctors told her it would help her avoid surgery to repair a 15-degree curvature of her spine. Growing up in Tampa, Maritza’s classmates kept encouraging her to join them socially after school. She always ended up at the pool. “I got a lot of, ‘Ohmigosh, you gotta go to swim practice again?’” Correia said. “But I just kept swimming. It was important to me.’’ She won a scholarship to the University of Georgia, where she set American records in the sprint freestyles and won multiple NCAA championships. Correia said she doesn’t want to be known merely as the “girl from the ’hood who took up swimming.’’ But if her inclusion into an almost all-white sport inspires a minority child to swim competitively, “I’m OK with that. It’s a little bit of a shame more minorities aren’t involved.’’ Correia knows the gantlet of race-related questions is soon to follow, but she is embracing it. “I think there will be a little bit of pressure on me,’’ she said. “But I’m ready to handle it. I know the public eye is coming, and I’m ready.’’ “She allowed me to pursue my dreams,” Candrea said yesterday at a news conference. “She was my wife, my friend. You don’t realize how much you miss someone until they’re not there.” For nearly three decades, Sue Candrea was there for her husband, handling the checkbook and running their home as he turned the Arizona softball program into a six-time NCAA champion. Sports was a constant; their wedding date paid homage to Mike’s favorite baseball player, Mickey Mantle. If Mike was in the dugout, Sue was generally nearby in the stands. The couple was to mark their 28th anniversary in Athens, where Candrea — who took over as national team coach two years ago — would go for a gold medal. Two special moments at a single Summer Games. Sue’s dedication prompted her retirement earlier this year. She gave up her accounting job to travel with her husband and his team. They were on a pre-Olympic “Aiming for Athens” tour, with a stop in Stevens Point, Wis., when Sue fell ill while awaiting a July 16 flight to Connecticut. The 49-year-old was rushed to the hospital, but died two days later. “This was a bolt of lightning out of the sky,” Candrea said. “One morning, she’s walking on the treadmill. And the next moment, she’s gone.” (AP) James Stillman Rockefeller, the oldest known U.S. Olympic medal winner and the former head of the bank that became Citigroup, died in New Haven yesterday, his family said. Rockefeller, who was 102, had lived in Greenwich. Rockefeller captained an eight-man crew with coxswain from the Yale University rowing team to win gold at the Paris Olympics. Another member of the crew was Dr. Benjamin Spock, the renowned pediatrician. Rockefeller was a grandson of William Rockefeller, who founded Standard Oil with his brother, John D. Rockefeller. Women’s soccer team plays today Women’s soccer will kick-start Olympic festivities today, two days ahead of everything else. The U.S. opens against Greece today on the island of Crete, one of eight games two days before the opening ceremony for a sport that has to start early to squeeze everything in. Capriati pulls out, Raymond steps in Jennifer Capriati was forced to pull out of the Athens Games with a hamstring injury and was replaced by Lisa Raymond, a team spokesman said yesterday. Capriati won a gold medal at the 1992 Barcelona Games, but she missed the 1996 and 2000 Olympics. She told coach Zina Garrison on Sunday she couldn’t play in the Olympics because of the injury, which she sustained in July. Raymond, who was to play doubles with Martina Navratilova, was picked for the singles spot vacated. Javelin thrower ignores torn ACL Breaux Greer would never let a little thing like a torn knee ligament keep him out of the Athens Olympics — especially since he has a decent chance to become the first U.S. javelin thrower in more than a halfcentury to win a gold medal. Greer tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, the one he plants hard to the ground as he lets go of the javelin, on June 11. But he said yesterday that he’ll compete anyway. Kenyan boxer is first official doper (AP) Their day of celebration had become yet another day of mourning. Less than a month ago, Mike Candrea buried his wife, Sue, who died from a sudden brain aneurysm. And now, as he readied his goldmedal favorites for the Athens Olympics, Candrea remembered the woman who made his life better in so many ways. Rockefeller, oldest U.S. medalist, dies Anti-Olympic protesters gathered in central Athens yesterday to hold an open-air memorial service for 13 workers killed during round-the-clock construction of venues for the Olympics. About 500 demonstrators stood in silence as the names of the workers were read out and olive wreaths placed on 13 crosses erected outside Greece’s parliament three days before the games’ start. Coach is alone in Athens As tears welled up in Mike Candrea’s eyes, he slowly removed his glasses. His voice choked up, and the words about his wife came haltingly.“It’s tough,” the coach of the U.S. women’s softball team said, wiping his eye. “You know, Aug. 7 was our anniversary.” OLYMPIC BRIEFS Protesters honor 13 dead workers Maritza Correia, above, is the first black woman to swim for the U.S. Olympic team. In 2000, Anthony Ervin, whose mother is white, became the first black male swimmer to represent the U.S. He shared the gold medal in the 50-meter freestyle with Gary Hall Jr. before retiring earlier this year. New Summer Olympic medals The Acropolis and Parthenon sports WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 11, 2004 (GETTY IMAGES) 38 U.S. softball coach Mike Candrea discusses his grief at a news conference in Athens yesterday. His players, two-time defending gold medalists, have dedicated their 2004 effort to his wife’s memory. In the first doping case of the Athens Olympics, a Kenyan boxer was barred from the games yesterday after failing an out-of-competition drug test in the athletes’ village.
