Overwhelmed with regret and pained by a shortsighted decision he wishes he could take back. Tim Laker began moving · away from his tainted past. Laker, a former major league catcher who admitted in the Mitchell Report that he injected himself with steroids to gain an edge, expressed sadness and deep remorse Sunday. as he discussed cheating the game he loves. "I made a poor decision, a mistake," . a contrite and ashamed Laker said. "And all I can do is ask for forgiveness and move on." One of more than 80 current and former players named in the report, Laker played with Montreal, Baltimore, ·Pittsburgh, Tampa Bay and Cleveland from 1992-2005. He managed in the Indians' minor league system last year, but decided not to this season partly because of health concerns. He's cufreritly a roving catching instructor for Cfeveland. The 38-year-old Laker was diagnosed in 1992 with colitis, a digestive disease. and he'd had other serious health issues, nearly dying in 200 I when his pancreas became infected. Laker doesn't think his steroid use · is tied to any of his health problems, including a hospital stay this winter because of another bout with colitis. 'Laker told George Mitchell's investigato~s that he met admitted steroid distributor Kirk Radomski, a former New York Mets . clubhouse employee, when. he was with the Expos. The two were introduced by Laker's teammate, David Segui. In the report, Laker said he purchased Deca. Durabolin and . testosterone during the late 1990s. He had first consiaered using steroids oefore tile 1995 season and did research by reading ma~azines and talking to indtviduals outside the game about the effects. Looking back, he wished he had considered other consequences. "I probably didn't think about it enough and probably didn't think of the ramifications 12 years down the road," he said .. Laker opened his · interview session by discussing the discomfort his link to the Mitchell Report has caused his family. Clearing his throat, he nervously described having to look his 16-year-old stepson. Brando, in the eye after the report was issued. · :He expressed similar dis,tress that his wife and mother have endured questions from outsiders wondering about Laker's sordid history. Laker, who spent the majority of his career in the minors, told Mitchell's investigators that· after purchasing steroids from Radomski that he injected himself in the buttocks cr11ce a week for a few months. "I re~ret that as many good thmgs as baseball bas given me and as many good things it has done for me, I regret that I have to sit here and talk about steroids instead of talking about baseball," he said. During his two-hour session with Mitchell's investi· gators, Laker said he was convinced that using ateroids would "enhance (his) performance." He refused to elaborate on his reasons for taking the drugs, and said he was too uncomfonable to discuss the culture of baseball at the time when steroid abuse was the game's dirty little secret. "I'm not in a position to give my opinion on anybody," he said. "I just have to focus on what I do and my own regrets.': Laker was required to meet with Mitchell's investigators because he 's a Major League Baseball employee. He said he did not consider resigning to avoid having to tell a story " that he's embarrassed about. Laker dido 't offer much of an explanation for why he took performance.enhancing drugs. However. ·he pointed to his difficulty, maintaining weight on his 6-foot-3 frame as a possible reason for being lured into trying them. "A long with weight comes strength," he said. "That's what led me to doing it.'' There wasn 't one main reason why he stopped, and Laker even joked that steroids didn't seem to help him much. "Just look at my stats," the career .226 hitter said with a smile. "It wasn't an illustrious career." Indians manager · Eric Wedge, a close friend, pledged his unwavering support of Laker, who played for him at Triple-A Buffalo and with the Indians. "I feel strong about him as · a person . We' re proud to· have him in the organization." said W~dge, who looks forward to the day steroids are no longer an issue. "As long as the game can come out ahead on the other end, and there's · a inore clear message to kids, that's all I care about." Laker hopes others can learn from his missteps. He stepped down from managing to focus on his health but hopes to ' get back to it someday. "I've been in baseball since I was 18 years old," he ... AP phOICI said. ".It's the only life I know.

REED BREEOOMYDAILYSENTINEL.COM MIDDLEPORT -· The process of turning over the collection of village income tax to an outside agency is "getting close," according to Middleport Mayor Michael Gerlach. The village has begun to provide data to Regional Income Tax Administralion, a non-profit agency made up of representatives of 113 · Ohio _villages and cities . Last year, village council cited potential cost savings in a decision to outsource its income tax department to RITA. In July, when council voted 3-2 to make the conversion to RITA, the late Councilman Ferman Moore estimated the annual savings at $40.000. The village ha~ eliminated the full-time position of income tax . administrator, and Fisal Officer Susan Baker has assumed the responsibilities associated with the tax office administration. Baker said an agreement and contract between the village and RITA were exe- . cuted and returned last week. She said she is .now providing electronic tax records to RITA so the transfer of the department can proceed. Baker said RITA plans to hold two public meetings to introduce the agency to local taxpayers and .· employers. She said RITA is scheduled to begin· handling the village's income tax . collections in July. and she expects the public meetings to be held in advance of that date. An ·informational letter will also be mailed to village residents to ewlain the conversion, Baker said. According to Baker, the exact cost of paying RITA.to handle income tax administration is not yet known. RITA is paid a percentage of collections, so the fee paid · to the agency will depend on how much tax is : paid . However, preliminary estimates place the cost at under $15,000 - a considerable savings over what the village has paid to employ an admimstrator, pay benefits and office and mailing el\penses. When a full-time tax adminstrator was on the payroll , the . department operated on a $~0,000 annual budget.

Colombia's police chief, meanwhile, said documents fmmd on a laptop compuier sei1ed in the raid otTered evidence that the governments of Venemela and Ecuador provided political and financial support to Colombia's largest guerrilla group. The Colombian commando raid on Saturday that killed rebel leader Raul Reyes infuriated Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa and his ally, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. Chavez has called Colombia's President Alvaro Uribe a "mob boss·· and a "liar." Both countries ilave mobili.zed troops toward their borders with Colombia. "The ~overrunent of Ecuador has · decided~ to break off diplomatic relations with tile government of Colombia starting today," a statement from Ecuador's foreign ministry said. Later, the Venezuelan foreign ministry announced its decision, saying it was acting "in defense of the sovereignty of the fatherland and the dignity of the Venezuelan people." It said the goverllJl)ent "has decided to order the immediate expulsion ... of the ambassador of the Republic of Colombia in Venezuela, and the diplomatic personnel of the Colombian Embassy in Carac:1s." ' Colonibia said military comnumdos .tirst bombed a camp on its side of the border. It said the troops came under fire from across the bmder in Ecuador and encountered Reyes' body when they overran that camp. Correa called that version an outright lie - "It was a massacre," he said. Among the documents found on the seized laptop computer are ones that suggest Venezuela recently paid $300 million to FARC and that the rebels had appeared interested in buying uranium, Gen. Oscar Naranjo , said. Another document suggests that rebel s have had financial ties with . Venezuelan President 1-{ugo Chavez since 1992. when he was jailed for leading a coup attempt. "When they mention negotiations' for 50 kilos of uranium this means that the FARC are taking big steps in the world of terrorism to become a global aggressor. We· re not talking or domestic guerrilla but transnational terrorism," said Naranjo, without giving more details. Naranjo saicl the $300 million was mentioned in a Feb. 1,4 message in Reyes' laptop.

Colombia's police chief, meanwhile, said documents fmmd on a laptop compuier sei1ed in the raid otTered evidence that the governments of Venemela and Ecuador provided political and financial support to Colombia's largest guerrilla group. The Colombian commando raid on Saturday that killed rebel leader Raul Reyes infuriated Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa and his ally, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. Chavez has called Colombia's President Alvaro Uribe a "mob boss·· and a "liar." Both countries ilave mobili.zed troops toward their borders with Colombia. "The ~overrunent of Ecuador has · decided~ to break off diplomatic relations with tile government of Colombia starting today," a statement from Ecuador's foreign ministry said. Later, the Venezuelan foreign ministry announced its decision, saying it was acting "in defense of the sovereignty of the fatherland and the dignity of the Venezuelan people." It said the goverllJl)ent "has decided to order the immediate expulsion ... of the ambassador of the Republic of Colombia in Venezuela, and the diplomatic personnel of the Colombian Embassy in Carac:1s." ' Colonibia said military comnumdos .tirst bombed a camp on its side of the border. It said the troops came under fire from across the bmder in Ecuador and encountered Reyes' body when they overran that camp. Correa called that version an outright lie - "It was a massacre," he said. Among the documents found on the seized laptop computer are ones that suggest Venezuela recently paid $300 million to FARC and that the rebels had appeared interested in buying uranium, Gen. Oscar Naranjo , said. Another document suggests that rebel s have had financial ties with . Venezuelan President 1-{ugo Chavez since 1992. when he was jailed for leading a coup attempt. "When they mention negotiations' for 50 kilos of uranium this means that the FARC are taking big steps in the world of terrorism to become a global aggressor. We· re not talking or domestic guerrilla but transnational terrorism," said Naranjo, without giving more details. Naranjo saicl the $300 million was mentioned in a Feb. 1,4 message in Reyes' laptop.

(The ·lawmakers' then adjourned for lack of a quorum.) On this date: In 1681 ; England's King Charles II granted a charter to William Penn for an area of land that later became Pennsylvania. In 1791, Vermont became the 14th state. In 1858, Sen. James Henry Hammond, D-S.C., declared, "Cotton is king" in a speech to the U.S. Senate. In 1858, Matthew Calbraith Perry, the American naval officer who'd opened trade relations between the U.S. and Japan, died in New York at age 63. In 1861, Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated president. In 1908, a fire at Lake View School in Collinwood, Ohio, claimed the lives of 172 children and three adults. In 1925, President Calv'in Cooiidge's . inauguration was broadcast live on 21 radio stations coast to coast. In 1977, some I ,500 people were killed in an earthquake · that shook southern and eastern Europe. Ten years ago: The Supreme Court ruled that sexual harassment at work can be illegal even when the offender and victim are of the same gender. One year ago: NAACP President Bruce S. Gordon announced he was quitting the civil rights organization · after just 19 months at the helm, citing growing strain with board members over the group's management style and future operations.

Thought for Today: "The world fears a new experience more than it fears anything. Because a new experience displaces so many old experiences." - D.H. Lawrence, English author ( 1885-1930). · ~xperience' issue won't The Daily Sentinel . , 2008 Ohio, McCain did lay out the beginnings of' an agenda, promising to "save Social Security and Medicare without the tricks, lies ~nd posturing that have failed us for too long" and "make the tax code s.impler, fl imer, fairer, more pro-growth and pro-jobs." He also set as goals to reduce "o ur dangerous dependence on foreign oil . with an energy policy that encourages American industry and technology," to "h~lp Americans without health insurance acquire it without bankrupting the country" and " make our public schools more accountable to parents and better able to prepare our children for the challenges they'll meet in the world." It was a good beginning, but ii was only that. On health care, for instance, Obama and Clinton have full-blown plans for insuring all (or nearly all) Americans . McCain 's proposed $2,500 refundable tax credit would not buy much insurance for the uninsured: , Former Sen. Bill Fri st, R- Tenn. , now teaching health economics at Princeton, says Obama's and Clinton's health care plans will cost not $110 billion year, as they say, but three times that. McCain needs to talk to Frist and adopt the argument, if he can prove it. In his Feb. 19 speech, McCain declared : "I'm not the youngest candidate. · but I am the most experienced . ... I know how Congress works, and how to make it work for the country and not just the re-election of its ,embers. I know how the world works. 1 know ·ie good and evil in it." . He does have vastly more experience than Homer ·Howard' Banks Obama, but the experience argument was tried b~ Clinton and ·did not work . Arguably, it might work better in the general election, but that has to be balanced against McCain'> age, · health and the fact thqt he' s "so Wa shin gton.'' and a friend of lobbyists. a:t that. McCain has to remi tiJ people that for most or hi ' career, he's been exactl y the "change agent'.' tha,i Obama promises to @e , And he has to lay out an agenda of change. H'e also needs to get Congress ion a ·! Republicans to be part of his "change agenda" ·-; both to unify the party and to see to it that he 's not dragged down by their negatives. McCain hope s to show that · Obama represeill s nothing but "an e loquent but empty call for change" and a return to liberal big government. He has every right to do so. Obama ·is short on accomplishments: especially of the biparti~ san variety. But McCain needs more. On Feb. 19, he promised that "we will make tb.t! right changes to restore the people's trust in their government and meet the great challenges of our time with wisdom and with faith in the values and ability Of Americans for whom no challenge' is greater ·than their resolve, courage and patriotism ." The words read like · Ronald Reagan , but it \\'as ponderous wllen McCain read them - seemingly for the first time. To ' beat Obama. McCain also has to practice speechmaking . a RACINE - Homer " Howard" Banks, 84, of Racine, formerly of Charleston, S.C., passed away Sunday, March 2, 2008, at Holzer Medical Center in Gallipolis.

Thought for Today: "The world fears a new experience more than it fears anything. Because a new experience displaces so many old experiences." - D.H. Lawrence, English author ( 1885-1930). · ~xperience' issue won't The Daily Sentinel . , 2008 Ohio, McCain did lay out the beginnings of' an agenda, promising to "save Social Security and Medicare without the tricks, lies ~nd posturing that have failed us for too long" and "make the tax code s.impler, fl imer, fairer, more pro-growth and pro-jobs." He also set as goals to reduce "o ur dangerous dependence on foreign oil . with an energy policy that encourages American industry and technology," to "h~lp Americans without health insurance acquire it without bankrupting the country" and " make our public schools more accountable to parents and better able to prepare our children for the challenges they'll meet in the world." It was a good beginning, but ii was only that. On health care, for instance, Obama and Clinton have full-blown plans for insuring all (or nearly all) Americans . McCain 's proposed $2,500 refundable tax credit would not buy much insurance for the uninsured: , Former Sen. Bill Fri st, R- Tenn. , now teaching health economics at Princeton, says Obama's and Clinton's health care plans will cost not $110 billion year, as they say, but three times that. McCain needs to talk to Frist and adopt the argument, if he can prove it. In his Feb. 19 speech, McCain declared : "I'm not the youngest candidate. · but I am the most experienced . ... I know how Congress works, and how to make it work for the country and not just the re-election of its ,embers. I know how the world works. 1 know ·ie good and evil in it." . He does have vastly more experience than Homer ·Howard' Banks Obama, but the experience argument was tried b~ Clinton and ·did not work . Arguably, it might work better in the general election, but that has to be balanced against McCain'> age, · health and the fact thqt he' s "so Wa shin gton.'' and a friend of lobbyists. a:t that. McCain has to remi tiJ people that for most or hi ' career, he's been exactl y the "change agent'.' tha,i Obama promises to @e , And he has to lay out an agenda of change. H'e also needs to get Congress ion a ·! Republicans to be part of his "change agenda" ·-; both to unify the party and to see to it that he 's not dragged down by their negatives. McCain hope s to show that · Obama represeill s nothing but "an e loquent but empty call for change" and a return to liberal big government. He has every right to do so. Obama ·is short on accomplishments: especially of the biparti~ san variety. But McCain needs more. On Feb. 19, he promised that "we will make tb.t! right changes to restore the people's trust in their government and meet the great challenges of our time with wisdom and with faith in the values and ability Of Americans for whom no challenge' is greater ·than their resolve, courage and patriotism ." The words read like · Ronald Reagan , but it \\'as ponderous wllen McCain read them - seemingly for the first time. To ' beat Obama. McCain also has to practice speechmaking . a RACINE - Homer " Howard" Banks, 84, of Racine, formerly of Charleston, S.C., passed away Sunday, March 2, 2008, at Holzer Medical Center in Gallipolis.

BY DAN NEPHtN ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER Defensive end joins Bengals . for 5-year, $29.5 million deal BY TERESA M. WALKER ASSOCIATED PRESS NASHVILLE, Tenn. Defensive end Antwan Odom signed a five-year deal worth $29.5 million Monday night with the Cincinnati Bengals, according to his agent. . Odom was coming off a career-best season with 16 starts and eight sacks w~th the Tennessee Titans, who drafted him in 2004. But the Titans took a risk in letting Odom test the free agent market, and they lost him to Cincinnati, which gave the four-year veteran $11.5 million in guaranteed money in the package. In Tennessee, Odom was overshado"'ed by Pro Bowl teammates Kyle Vanden Bosch and Albert Haynesworth. Agent Richard Rosa said the chance to play for Cincinnati coach Marvin Lewis and defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer were factors in Odom 's decision. "They made him very · comfortable with the chance to be very productive with Robert Geathers on the Qther end,"' Rosa said. ' Odom was a secondround draft pick out of Alabama in 2004, and he has started 34 of 54 games in his career, with 152 total PITTSBURGH - Talk about a comeback.

Roethlisberger reestablished himself as one of the NFL's best quarterbacks last season, and nellfly two years after his life and career were threatened by a motorcycle crash. The accident happened a few months after he led the Stee!ers tO a Super Bowl victory. Roethlisberger's contract guarantees him $36 million and is easily the largest in the Steelers' 76-season history. The quarterback, who . turned 26 Sunday, gets $45 million immediately as a signing bonus. "I told them I didn ' t want to go anywhere the day I walked in (as a rookie in 2004)," Roethlisberger said Monday. "I love Pittsburgh , !love the fans. Got probably the best organization and fans in all of sport. I don't want to go anywhere ."

BY DAN NEPHtN ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER Defensive end joins Bengals . for 5-year, $29.5 million deal BY TERESA M. WALKER ASSOCIATED PRESS NASHVILLE, Tenn. Defensive end Antwan Odom signed a five-year deal worth $29.5 million Monday night with the Cincinnati Bengals, according to his agent. . Odom was coming off a career-best season with 16 starts and eight sacks w~th the Tennessee Titans, who drafted him in 2004. But the Titans took a risk in letting Odom test the free agent market, and they lost him to Cincinnati, which gave the four-year veteran $11.5 million in guaranteed money in the package. In Tennessee, Odom was overshado"'ed by Pro Bowl teammates Kyle Vanden Bosch and Albert Haynesworth. Agent Richard Rosa said the chance to play for Cincinnati coach Marvin Lewis and defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer were factors in Odom 's decision. "They made him very · comfortable with the chance to be very productive with Robert Geathers on the Qther end,"' Rosa said. ' Odom was a secondround draft pick out of Alabama in 2004, and he has started 34 of 54 games in his career, with 152 total PITTSBURGH - Talk about a comeback.

Roethlisberger reestablished himself as one of the NFL's best quarterbacks last season, and nellfly two years after his life and career were threatened by a motorcycle crash. The accident happened a few months after he led the Stee!ers tO a Super Bowl victory. Roethlisberger's contract guarantees him $36 million and is easily the largest in the Steelers' 76-season history. The quarterback, who . turned 26 Sunday, gets $45 million immediately as a signing bonus. "I told them I didn ' t want to go anywhere the day I walked in (as a rookie in 2004)," Roethlisberger said Monday. "I love Pittsburgh , !love the fans. Got probably the best organization and fans in all of sport. I don't want to go anywhere ."

Any. company dumb enough to fork over good money to slap its name on the park wouldn't find the confines fnendly at the moment and. histoncally speaking, naming rights have been a lousy mvestment - not to mention bad karma. The current trend got its start in 1973, when the NFL's Buffalo B11ls took $1.5 million from Rich Foods to slap the company's name on their stadium for 25 years. By the t1lrn of the century, there were more than f1ve dozen major-league stadiums sport1ng the names of companies who pledged a collective $3 4 bJihon.

'I felt a little more togeth· er out there," Perkins srud. "I felt like I was 111o a little more control." Like Perkins, Cit:~cinnati's Jeremy Affeldt is trying to earn a spot as a' starter after relieving last season. He allowed a run and one hit in three innings. "It's the first time I've p1tched that long 10 a year and a half," Affeldt said. "I used my changeup this time. It was my most effective pitch. That is the one thing I'll go home smiling about My fastball isn't where I want it to be. I didn't feel comfortable out of the windup until the last inning."

Any. company dumb enough to fork over good money to slap its name on the park wouldn't find the confines fnendly at the moment and. histoncally speaking, naming rights have been a lousy mvestment - not to mention bad karma. The current trend got its start in 1973, when the NFL's Buffalo B11ls took $1.5 million from Rich Foods to slap the company's name on their stadium for 25 years. By the t1lrn of the century, there were more than f1ve dozen major-league stadiums sport1ng the names of companies who pledged a collective $3 4 bJihon. If the past 1s prologue, all the people cursmg the 1dea of corporate names covcnng the marquees of thetr beloved ballparks can save the 1r breath Precious lew have staymg power The dot ~om boom that p1 ov1ded much of the cash fmancmg for those naming deals 1n the peak years of the 1990s went bust. By late 200 I, an informal survey found half of the publlcly traded companies that p31d for nammg nghts had lost a quarter of thetr stock value. A second survey done around the same time found the stock of all the compames shll playmg the name game was down by an average of 20 percent - meamng they weFe out a collective $265 billion or so. A few - led by Enron Corp , which pledged $100 million for 30 years to cover the Houston Astros' downtown ballpark- slid · all the way down. The names of jus\ about every other stadium have changed often enough so that even the success stories are blurred. What's currently the TD Banknorth Gardeo 111 Boston has had 34 different names since plans were announced to replace the ongmal Garden some 15 years ago. In part, that's because the .•naming rights were auctmned off for a while on eBay. , For two days, the offiCI'al name of the jmnt was "Yankees Suck Center," wh1ch, 1f nothmg else, 1s easy to remember FORT MYERS, Fla.

Minnesota starter Glen Perkins p1tched two mmngs and gave up a run, two htts and two walks. He struggled in his previous spring •trainin§ outing. 'I felt a little more togeth· er out there," Perkins srud. "I felt like I was 111o a little more control." Like Perkins, Cit:~cinnati's Jeremy Affeldt is trying to earn a spot as a' starter after relieving last season. He allowed a run and one hit in three innings. "It's the first time I've p1tched that long 10 a year and a half," Affeldt said. "I used my changeup this time. It was my most effective pitch. That is the one thing I'll go home smiling about My fastball isn't where I want it to be. I didn't feel comfortable out of the windup until the last inning." The exhibition gave Reds star Ken Griffey Jr. and Twms newcomer Delmon Young a ch~tnce to catch up. · Gnffey was already a star when he JOmed the Reds in 2000, and Dm1tn Young was one of his Cmcmnati teammates Young's teenage brother, Delman, used to tag along with Gnffey, shaggmg flies and occaswnally take batting pracuce.

No Steelers quarterback, not even Bradshaw, had a better start to his career; Bradshaw didn't win a Super Bowl until his fifth season. . Roethlisberger wants to - be "like the Dan Marinos, like the John Elways, guys who played with oqe team their whole career." The Steelers, quiet in free agency until signing running back-kick returner on Mewelde · Moore Monday, felt some urgency to get a deal done with Roethlisberger. Director of football operalions Kevin Colbert called it his top offseason priority. Roethlisberge~ wa~ due a $2.95 million bonus this month that, if paid. would have put the Steelers over the salary cap. By reworking Roethlisberger's contract now, the team rolled that bonus into his new contr~ct and can prorate his signing bonus over the eight years of the contract. "Ben never said, 'I need a record-breaking contract.' He never said, ·' I need the most money in the h)story of anything,"' said Roethlisberger's agent, Ryan Tollner. "He said,. 'I need a fair deal."' Roethlisberger, who played in his first Pro Bowl last month, is now focused on getting "a bunch more trophies." "I believe that the guys we have on !his team right now are excep.tional players," he said. "I believe we all have the pieces of the puzzle, that we could be a championship football team, and I think that we know the history that we have . of drafting well, we'll be able to bring guys · in that will hopefully do more." · Roethlisberger was one of the leading vote-getters for the NFL Comeback Player of the Year award. By contrast, he never found a groove in 2006 after reporting to training camp only six weeks after his motorcycle crash. in Pittsburgh, then needed an appendectomy the week of · the season opener. The Steeler> started 2-6 before finishing 8-8 during former coach Bill Cowher's I 5th and final season. Moore, the Steelers' only pickup during free agency. spent his first four seasons with · the Minnesota Vikings. A likely replacement for kick returner Allen Rossum, he returned two punts for touchdowns and averaged 10.4 per return while returning 74 punts from 2003-07.
