But for Iraqis, stories of abuses committed there by They also discredited mistreatment at Abu Ghraib U.S. guards. Washington’s claims that it was were nothing new. The sprawling complex, which has not held prisoners since 2006, will be refurbished with the goal of taking new in- mates in about a year, the gov- ernment said Thursday. Also, a section of the 280- acre site just west of Baghdad will be converted into the museum featuring execution chamber exhibits and other displays of torture tools used by Saddam’s regime — includ- ing an iron chain used to tie prisoners together. But Iraq’s predominantly Shiite government has no plans to document the U.S. military abuse scandal that erupted in 2004 with the publication of photographs that shocked the world: grinning U.S. soldiers mistreating Iraqi prisoners, some naked, being held on leashes or in painful and sexu- ally humiliating positions. Iraq’s deputy justice min- ister, Busho Ibrahim, told The Associated Press that the American brutality was “noth- ing” compared with the vio- lence and atrocities of Saddam and his Sunni-dominated Baath party. “There is evidence of the crimes (Saddam committed) such as the hooks used to dangle prisoners, tools used to beat and torture prisoners and ... the execution chambers in which 50 or 100 people were killed at once,” he said. The government’s an- nouncement did not detail the full scope of the refurbishing work and didn’t say whether the museum would be open to the public. Ibrahim did not of- fer any further information on the plans. It’s also unclear whether Sunni groups and others will attempt to press for the U.S. abuses to be added by the government, which is keen to highlight Saddam’s heavy hand but could be wary of upsetting its allies in Washington. Nevertheless, the 4-de- cade-old prison is now best

ARIES (March 21-April 19): A financial maneuver will put you in a better position momentarily, but if you use a dubious means to get to where you want to go, someone will speak up against you. Ethics will be of utmost importance. 3 stars TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Expect someone to hide some-

Glenn McCoy thing from you or lead you astray. You will have to nip quickly any misgivings that develop. Underhandedness will cause a

The Duplex The breakup in an already shaky partnership. This is not the time to experiment. 3 stars GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Put your arrangements in order and invite everyone you enjoy to join in. A little romance will lead to a partnership that is above and beyond your expecta- tions. Get your responsibilities out of the way early so they don’t bog you down. 3 stars CANCER (June 21-July 22): Choose your company wisely. Emotional issues can be cleared up once you recognize where you stand with those who oppose you. Wisely compromising will guide you back to a leadership position. 5 stars LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Emotions will be on the rise with the people you are closest to. Someone you live with may not get what it is you are trying to do. Don’t let this person discourage you from moving ahead. 2 stars VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your plans to do something enjoy- able or take a trip will grab the attention of the ones you love. A break will allow you a moment to put your thoughts together

Try to harness what’s most important to you and concentrate on accomplishing the most. A peer, colleague or someone you’ve worked with in the past will help you out now. 3 stars SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Pay attention to the one you love or you may end up in the middle of someone else’s fury. A passionate encounter will be a much better way to spend your time. You can fit in the work objectives that will ease your stress and lead to success. 3 stars SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You don’t need to be held back or stifled by other people’s problems or their negativity. Falling for someone you work with will put you in a dangerous position. Make sure it won’t jeopardize your status. 3 stars CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t expect anything to be stable today. A surprising change of plans or having someone try to outmaneuver you is likely. Put in extra hours in order to stay ahead of whoever is after your job. Don’t trust a big talker making promises. 4 stars AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t listen to someone telling

COLLEGIAN SPORTS FRIDAY Friday, September 5, 2008 | Page 14 Hughes Hosts Hornets On Ag Day Rams ready for home opener By ADAM BOHLMEYER The Rocky Mountain Collegian

After a rough start to the Steve Fairchild era of CSU football, this weekend the Rams have a fresh chance to pick up their fi rst win of the season. Fairchild, the Rams head coach, is expecting his team to make big strides this week after losing the season open- er to CU-Boulder last weekend in Denver. “Typically a team will make a big step from game one to game two, particularly a team like ours that has a lot of fi rst time players,” he said. “I’d like to see us play better than we did last week to be honest.” CSU will have a chance to earn their fi rst “W” Saturday afternoon as they host Sacramento State, a Division I Foot- ball Championship Subdivision (formerly D I-AA) school from the Big Sky Conference. Fairchild isn’t taking the Hornets lightly even though they are a division down from the Rams. “If you look at these guys on tape they have plenty of players,” he said. “They have a lot of guys who could play for anyone.” CSU defensive coordinator Larry Kerr agreed, adding that they don’t take any team for granted. “There are so many players that get overlooked that go to Division I-AA schools like this and make it into the NFL,” he said. “There are some guys from their team I wouldn’t mind having here.”

Saturday marks the 27th annual Ag Day, a day cel- ebrating the deep agricultural roots in both the state of Colorado and CSU. An event to remember part of the university’s past will precede what fans hope to be the Talkin’ Rams with the jump start to the future of CSU football as the Rams take the fi eld to face Sacramento State in this season’s home opener. CSU Head Coach Steve Fairchild said he thinks opening with Ag Day will help bring excitement to Ram Ramblers football this season. “I think that [Ag Day] and the fact that it’s our fi rst NICK SEBESTA home game will really help,” Fairchild said after prac- tice Thursday. “Our players and coaches are ready.
