"I always envisioned his teammates carrying him off the field - and his arm falling off as he left,'' Sherman said. , Now, he must be tough enough to stick to his decision to retire. "As the season gets closer, I wouldn't be·surprised at all if he changes his mind," said Hall of Fame qua'rterback Troy Aikman, a Fox analyst who played 12 years with tht; Dallas Cowboys.

Up to 25 percent of your. wages may be garnished in Ohio, and the crel!itor may. take money from your bank accounts, unless your bank account contains only exempt funds. Examples of exemptions are Social Security money, student loans and certain other government benefits. Ellempt funds will be garnished, however, unless you inform the court and the plaintiff, in writing, that the money in the account is exempt. If the creditor cannot prove its case, the credi- · tor will not get a judgment against you, and will not be able to garnish your wages or bank accounts.

(She's 25.) At the last Chri stmas party, she spent two hours with her hand on my husband's thigh. I said nothing because I didn 't want to cause a scene. She also danced very provocatively in front of him. My husband says he didn't notice her touching . him and doesn't remember it. She recently sent an email from her work com puter to his home laptop about divorce - kind of encoura~ing it. He says she told h1m it was sent by mistake, but she never apologized for ,it or the argument that ensued as a result. I e-mailed her and said her note was inappropriate at every level. All of our marital discord stems · from his Job. I am tired of hearing my husband defend this woman. He says I am silly to be angry, and that she IS a good Christian woman who has no interest in him. What do you think? -Upset in Ohio Dear Ohio: The boss should not be putting her hand on an employee's thi~h and sending him e-ma1ls about divorce. Your husband may believe he must tolerate these flirtations in order to keep his job, but that is the definition o( sexual harassment. If he wants this behavior to stop, he should seek legal advice: If he doesn't want it to stop, you have a different problem. Dear Annie: I have been married to "Larry" for over 30 years. It's very difficult to go to church with my husband or any place that may have some sentimentality attached to it. Whenever I look at .him, he's crying, making a son of whimpering sound, This man is over 6 feet tall and appears very masculine. I understand grown men cry, but Larry tears up during family dinners and action movies. He is on antidepressants and has seen· medical professionals for his depression and anxiety. But this constant crying seems unmanly and very unattractive. Ifis also irritat: ing and there is little joy left in our marriage. Are we doomed? - Kentucky Dear Kentucky: If the constant tears are a recent phenomenon, it's possible 4i \:f. your husband is suffering from a hormonal imbalance. a medi caiion pmhlem or may even have had a small stmke that went undetected. Please urge him to see his·doctor for a co mplete chec kup. and specifically mention these pos sibiliti~s. Regardless, after 30 years, he surely must have other endearing qualities that make up for his overwrought . sentimentality. If you can't focus on those, please look into counseling. Dear Anf!ie: Thi s is for "Stressed out in Texas,"· the 11-year-old being bullied by classmates. My daughter (now a freshman in college) went through this. She begged to switch schools, but I thought it was better to stay put and deal with the problems. I didn't understand how bad it was. No matter what she did (and she did many things beautifully) , the others would make sure she was a misfit and didn't belong. It was just one negative and mean comment after another. Some days she would get in the car and cry. I didn't know how bad her life was until I started finding food wrappers under her bed- she was self-medicating with food. Her depression started in sixth grade. We are working through this together, and I will be there for her, but I. am so disappointed in myself for letting 11 go this far. "Stressed" should go to her mom right now. The longer she keeps the bully, ing to herself, the worse it will . be. She should talk to the school · counselor and find a physical activity she enjoys and do it a couple of times a week. She deserves to be tr~ated with respect. - Mom in Kentucky Dear Mom: Thanks to.all who wrote offering suppon and suggesting "Stressed" speak up. There are hundreds of people rooting for her.

He started the season with two 100-yard games before missing two months following a third operation on his right knee. The signings fill positions of need for the Raiders, who are trying to build their offense around quarterback JaMarcus Russell , the first overall pick in last year's draft. New England re-signed wide receiver Jabar Gaffney, who had 36 receptions for 449 yards and a career high five touchdowns last season.

Oakland's first-round pick in 2003, Brayton managed only six sacks in five seasons as the Raiders struggled to find a spot for him. Brayton moved from defensive end to linebacker to defensive tackle. He didn't start a game last season. The Panthers also resigned reserve linebacker and special teams player Do'nte Curry to a two-year deal. He played in seven games last season. -Free agent linebackers Matt McCoy and Teddy Lehman signed with Tampa Bay.

The Bend {\rea team controlled the boards on both ends of the floor, continually pounded the ball deep into the paint for scores and played outstanding defense during the first 16 minutes to stagger Buffalo but what the Bend Area team didn't do was deliver the knockout blow. WHS shot 52 percent in the opening half, grabbed a 17-9 edge in rebounding and limited the hot shooting Bisons to a dismal 32 percent shooting and just 18 first half points before the roof cclved in on the locals with the beginning of the second half. run before closing the period with a 13-2 spurt to turn a 29 - 18 halftime defictl mto a 46-43 edge .

''You see a lot of things happemng ·in their favor. We'll be a competitive team. We're not yielding to them, but it is an uphill battle." Never before has the rest of the Olympic competition been so deep. Russia, a power even after the breakup of the Soviet Union, has made little secret of its desire to return to the top. Meanwhile, a number of the countries four through 10 in the last medal standings- Australia, Germany, Japan, France, Italy, South Korea, Britain have added resources and money to their efforts. That means they could win medals that once would have been presumed to go to the United States, Russia or China. In talking about China's medal expectations, Cui cites everything from rules changes to limited medals in sports like badminton and table tennis, where China often dominates. other sports where China is traditionally solid - gymnastics and divmg - have more to do with poise and controlling adrenaline than displays of raw speed or power. That could leave Chinese athletes more susceptible to nerves or pressure than, say, , an American athlete running a I 00-meter sprint or a Russtan on a weightlifting pla\form. Among the few outspoken optimists on the American side has . be~n USA Gymnastics president Steve Penny, who knows he has good teams but is also aware of the pros and cons of competing at home. "Either you accept the challenges and use the advantages to have your best day, or that can end up provtding a great deal of pressure and stress," Penny said. "And if you don't have _your ·best day, it can be compounded by the fact that you're in front of your home crowd." But Penny certainly' isn ' t speaking the liSOC's party line, which so far is to promise less and maybe surprise some people if the American athletes deliver more. That's the same direction the Chinese seem to be going, too. Cui demurred when asked to predict China's medal haul. "The beautiful thing about athletic competition," he said, "is that you never know the result until the co~petition ts over."

' BY DEVLIN BARRm ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON A Democratic congressman asked the "FBI on Wednesday to drop its investigation of Roger Clemens because the pitching · great had suffered enough from the probe into steroid use.

"Roger Clemens has been shamed. I think the •public record ts replete with example; of how he did not likely tell the truth What ts the Browns public benefit of continuing with an FBI investigation?"

'The real incentive to clean up lhts mess is· not a governmental one," said Weiner, a Mets fan whose district includes parts of Queens and Brooklyn. The FBI took over the Clemens case after Congress asked the Justice Department to look mto Clemens' testimony at a Feb. 5 deposition and a Feb. 13 hearing. Weiner is not a member of the House Oversight and Government Committee, which heard from Clemens. Clemens testified he never used steroids or hu111an growth hormone; his fonner trainer testified he injecied Clemens with such stibstances ~t least 16 tiines from 1998 to 200 I. · If investigators conclude Clemens lied on criti~al details; he could face charges of perjury, making false statements or obstruction of justice. .
