Meeting From 1A The Hawkeyes, including the Ferentzes, left Saturday for Tampa, where lowa will play the Florida Gators. The county considers the Zoning From 1A restrictions on how a home should or should not look through design standards. For example, a proposal called for a requirement that on lots less than 60 feet wide and when there are attached units such as duplexes, townhouses or a house on a very small lot garages should take up no more than 50 Escape From 1A Among the mistakes tallied in the inspector general's report: Prison Industries supervisors failed to conduct a proper head count the evening of the escape and failed to pat down inmates as they left. Moon and Legendre were able to hide materials used in the escape a homemade grappling hook and rope made from upholstery webbing on their bodies and within the Prison Industries building. The two were able to smuggle food, bottled water and first aid items into the building.

Because guards in the control room were occupied with too many duties, they failed to spot Moon and Legendre on a security camera monitoring a stairway in the Prison Industries building. "A guard in a tower failed to notice the grappling hook tossed over a railing on the exterior prison wall and failed to spot Moon and Legendre as they climbed across to the wall. A perimeter guard failed to notice the 35-foot rope hanging from the outside wall, despite driving past it several times, and failed to use a spotlight issued to him to view the wall after dark. The report also noted that the guard tower in the southwest corner of the prison yard, meant to monitor inmates at Prison Industries, was unstaffed at 3 p.m. while the work continued until 6:25 p.m.

Following the escapes, Gov. Tom Vilsack reassigned warden North Corridor a growth area and is looking at making improvements to Prairie du Chien Road and Newport Road and also constructing a new connector road between the two.

Critics argued that complying with these standards would drive up costs for homeowners. "We're not ready for that," Iowa City Mayor Ernie Lehman said. "Overall, I think it was good. I think there are going to be some holes that start showing up, but you never know until you start enforcing the code where those holes are and of course, we don't know where they are yet, but when they do, I'm sure they'll make when several residents of the area north of Iowa City between Highways 1 and 965 are vehemently opposed to other recommended road projects.

Ream said although most people might not realize it, the zoning code is important to everyone in lowa City.

"It does (have relevance) but unfortunately, people don't always realize it," she said. "They don't think about it until it affects them if they're trying to do something and they can't. But it does affect everybody because it creates the community that we live in."

Marines loosen weight loss program SAN DIEGO The Marine Corps has decided that fighting one war at a time is enough. A recent order from Marine headquarters at Quantico, says Marines sent to Iraq can be exempt from the corps' rigid weight -loss program, which requires frequent weigh-ins, extra physical training and "Semper Fit" lectures about nutrition. The rigors of being deployed in Iraq have made it difficult for Marines to comply with the fitness plan, known as the Body Composition Program, Marine Corps officials said.

Under an order issued before Christmas, commanders are allowed to exempt their troops in Iraq from what is usually a six program. "In combat, the priority is com- Ice From 3A Washington Post L.A. Times are meant to illuminate the "outside," or those who still walk in darkness, Blesofsky said. "If we take on the challenge that Hanukkah presents us and start to illuminate our lives with the light of Torah and Mitzvot and acts of goodness and kindness," Blesofsky said, "then inevitably we will also illuminate others." Susan Assouline, who lit one of the menorah candles, called the candles the "lights of freedom" because they represent religious freedom. "It's a nice way of connecting with people throughout the world with something that's very important," she said.

Although the ice menorah will be taken to Blesofsky's home, a light-bulbed menorah will remain at the Old Capitol Town Center. Hanukkah ends Monday. Blesofsky's wife, Chaya, said Hanukkah tries to show that a small amount of light can overcome a lot of darkness. "Small acts of goodness and kindness are going to change the world to be a more peaceful and happy place," she said.

Col. Kristi VanGorder, head of the training section at the Training and Education Command at the base in Quantico. Once a Marine leaves Iraq, he or she is required to resume the fight against fat.
