A vocal minority, including the Fed regional chiefs in Philadelphia and Minneapolis, say the Fed may need to raise interest rates by the end of this year to fight inflation. Bernanke has predicted that the jump in oil and food prices will cause only a brief increase in consumer inflation. "Even people as smart as Bernanke are human and sometimes make slips," said Alan Blinder, a Princeton economist and former Fed vice chairman. Bernanke, who's spent most of his professional life in academia teaching economics at Princeton and other institutions, likes explaining complex subjects. Economic growth likely slowed sharply in the January-March quarter as bad weather and a spike in oil prices weighed on consumer and business spending.

ANYONE WHO knows Charlie Mack Alston knows his heart matches his supersized 6-foot-7-inch frame. One night recently, Alston was lying in bed watching 6ABC news when he learned that thieves had broken into West Philadelphia High School and stolen 60 computers, each valued in excess of $1,000. For most TV viewers, that tragic story was just another moment to "tsk, tsk" as they waited for the weather forecast. _Tribune News Services_ HONOLULU -- When Ray Lewis stepped off the plane from his cross-country flight and was greeted with a lei and an aloha, it finally hit him that he was voted back on the island. "That's when you say, 'OK. I've made it again.' You really appreciate it," the Baltimore Ravens' All-Pro linebacker said. "This is the reward. With the Pro Bowl being here, this is the reward."

When the playoffs begin this weekend, they will feature a new rule for overtime. That field goal to win the game on the opening series of the extra session? Forget it. If a team wins the coin toss and receives the overtime kickoff, it does not automatically win the game if it kicks a field goal. The team that kicked off then gets a possession.

"I clearly understand why the rule was changed, the fairness to give both teams the opportunity to have the ball. I don't think it's a huge deal."
