Wainwright , who closed out the St. Louis Cardinals' World Serie s win . in October, opened his bid for a job in his team 's rebuilt rotation with three hitless innings Wednesduy in a 6-3 victory over the Florida Marlins. Wainwright earned the win on .the first day of ex hibition play between major league teams. He walked one and fell behind several other batters at Jupiter, Fla. But he still needed only 30 pitches - 15 strikes - to get through the first three innings, facing I0 batters. "I did some things well to get some first-pitch outs, .but I did a lot of things I'll need to improve on," he said. "A ll in all it was a good first time." Manager Tony La Russa agreed. "I thought he was great," La Russa said. "He was impressive, just the way he has been since the first day he started throwing down here. I mean, he wants that job." Wainwright will likely be a starter this season, unless closer Jason lsringhausen has a setback in his rehabilitation from hip surgery. Wainwright filled in for an injured lsringhausen last October, allowed no earned run in 9 2-3 postseason innings and saved the clinching games against the New York Mets in the NL championship series and the Detroit Tigers in the World Series. "It feels like three days away," Wainwright said. "No offseason - I spent a lot of time with these guys. But at the same time, my thinking was it was a mil· lion years away. I'm really trying to forget about that. " I feel I haven't proved anything yet. I have to prove myself all over again as a starteL Hopefully I can pers uade some of these guys I'm going to do all right."

(AP)- It's easy to see why Cleveland Indians pitching coach Carl Willis has <1 smile on his face these days. When Willis walks the sun ·drenched lields at the team's spring training complex, he sees staff ace C.C. Sabathia, who has won 81 games in six major lea~ue seasons, throwing battmg practice . Standing_ nearby waiting his turn to throw is Jeremy Sowers, who went 74 and threw two shutouts last season after being called up from the minors in late June . On another lield throwing to hitters is Jake Westbrook. 44-34 the last three seasons. Throwing bullpen sessions. a few steps away are Cliff Lee, who has 46 wins the last three years, and Paul Byrd, a steady veteran with an 82-73 career record. The Indians head into the 2007 season with questions about their bullpen, defense and tough competition in the AL Central. Unlike many teams, however, the Indians aren't worried about their rotation. "It"s a tremendous situation for us," Willis said. "'We're really excited. I believe our No. I asset is our starting pitching." Cleveland's starters compiled the third best ERA (4.31) in the league last season and had a 62-5 7 record. The starters tinbhed second with 1,000 2-3 innings pitched. "'We have a good mix here,"' said Westbrook., 1510 with a 4. 17 ERA last sea- Thursday, March 1, 2007 www.mydailysentinel.com son. "We have guys who can move the ball around, throw strikes and who know how to pitch. Each guy will bring something different. We also have three left-banders (Sahathia, Lee and Sowers). That's always a big plus." While many teams spend spring training scrambling to 1111 out their rotation, the Indians can already arrange things for the regular season. Sabathia, 12-1 1 with a 3.22 ERA in 2006, will pitch the season in opener in Chicago on April 2. Westbrook said he' ll pitch the second game of the season. The rotation is a blend of youth and experience. At 36, Byrd is the only starter over 30. Sabathia, in the majors since 200 I. is just 26> Westbrook and Lee are 29 and 28. respectively, while Sowers, 24, is in his third year of pro ball. "The veterans here have been a big help to me," said Sowers, who had a 3.57 ERA last f season. ''I've learned a lJt from them." Durability has been another key to the rotation's success. The five returnees made 85 percent of the team's starts last season Lee (33), Westbrook (32 ), Byrd (31 ), Sahathia (28), and Sowers ( 14). Veteran Jason Johnson, traded when Sowers was called up, also made 14. Sabathia has been the only starter to miss time the last two seasons . He missed most of last April with a pulled muscle in his side. Should there be an injury, the Indians have depth in the minors. Right-banders Fausto Carmona and Adam Miller, the top two pitching prospects in the organization, will begin the season at Triple-A Buffalo. 0 Ll on the :- numberof Bingo Cords can 'Pro Athletes Gone Wild?' Not exactly BY JtM LITKE ASSOCIATED PRESS If you read nothing but the spurts pages, it's easy to believe there \ a crime spree in progre'S.

And yet another, the Falcons Jonathan Babineaux, charged with felony animal cruelty in the death of his girlfriend's dug. Not to be outdone, NBA 'players union chief Billy Hunter surveyed the wreckage left behind by the league's All-Star weekend 400-plus arrests, though the lion's share were for prostitution - and wondered aloud the other night whether New Orleans had the stomach and enough cops to play host to the same show next year. Las Vegas. after all. reportedly beefed up the number of otlicers who work overtime for special events from 150 to 1,000 to deal with the crush of posses and wannabes attmcted by the NBA circus, and barely managed to hold its own. "I'm wondering, how will New Orleans accommodate all these people if they elect to come to New Orleans?" Hunter told Newsday. "They'll shut the city down." Everybody, take a deep breath. Relax . There's no need to hide the women and children next time a fro team comes to town. I it's any comfort, you're still three times more likely to get mugged, offered drugs or solicited hy somebody living within a few miles of home than anybody who plays in the NFL or NBA. Not to be glib about it, but that's the way Richard Lapchick views the reported crime spree, and he knows a thing or two about athletes. As director of the Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sports at University of Central Florida, he's been crunching numbers regarding professional and college players since the mid-1990s. "What we've seen since then is about I00 athletes a year, on average, arrested for violence against a woman and 75 for some form of recreational drugs. So roughly three times a week, you pick up a paper or watch TV, see something like that, and it creates an impression in peo- pie's minds that there', a pattern. "It's just not true," Lapchick s_aid. He concedes exact comparisons are.hard to come by, be<:ause the institute tracks only a handful of crimes by athletes . But Lapchick is confident the ratio of 3-to-1 , hased largely on the number of athletes arrested on domestic violence and drug charg~s versus those in the general population, is a reliab le rule of thumb . The amount of publicity generated by the athletes' arrests, ronversely, is 10-to-1 or 100to- 1. " I don't mean to diminish the scnousness of any crimes, but the way I'd frame it is this: There are some athletes who definitely have a problem: but athletes are nut THE problem." You wouldn't know that, though, from all the public hand-wringing of late. Last week, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, players as~ociation chief Gene Upshaw, two owners, two league otlicials, Bengals coach Marvin Lewis and 10 players met at the scouting combine in Indianapolis and discussed a '"three strikes and you're out" policy that would ban players for life after a third conviction. 'The percentage of players involved in this is very, very low," Upshaw said in an interview Wednesday with The Associated Press. ·'But there's a perception out there and the problems are real." The encouraging thing is that it's the players who talked about putting teeth in the league's personal-conduct policy instead of the higher-ups. The truth is Goodell has talked long and loud about disciplinary problems. but the fines and sus· pensions meted out hy the clubs and the league have varied from case to case. Some clubs have tried to protect themselves by not handing out big signing bOnuses to draft choices who arrive trailing a rap sheet from their college days; the Titans probably wish they'd thought of that with Pacman Jones. But even Upshaw conceded every team treats its stars dillerent from the backups. The Bears' 1'ank Johnson, for example, was arrested late last season on gun-possession charges, his third arrest in 18 months . Then two days later, Johnson went to a nightclub, · whery his bodyguard was shot and killed. His punishment: a one-game suspension. So standardizing the crime-and-punishment policy would be a good first step, especially since the players would have input. But it's important for the leagues to do that in a deliberate way, with a realistic grasp of the problem, instead of simply slapping something together to get the critics off their backs. N BA commissioner David Stem is resisting the temptation to do just that. A day after Hunter threatened to sue the league if he felt his players' safety would be jeopardized in New Orleans, Stem made sure the league and the players union reiterated their commitment to the city. He knows the dollars that AllStar weekend pours into a beleaguered town will help fight way more crime than his players, behaving at their worst, could possibly cause. "'The reports we have received about other major events and conventions recently held in New Orleans have been very positive," the commissioner said in a statement, "and we fully expect All-Star 2008 to be a great success." · With H&R Block, you have more than a company behind you.

The plan would retain a Democratic proposal prohibiting the deployment to Iraq of troops with insufficient rest or trainins or who already have served there for more than a year. Under the plan, such troops could only be sent to Iraq if President Bush WIIIVes those standards and reports to Congress each time. The proposal is the latest attempt by Democrats to resolve deep divisions within the pany on how far to go to scale back U.S. involvement in Iraq. Rep. Jame~ Moran said the latest version has the support of pany leadership and said he believes it is final and has the best chance at attracting broad support. "We're going to report out" a war spending bill "that's respons.ive to the will of the voters last November and brings our troops home as soon and safely as possible," Moran, D-Va. , said in an interview Thursday. Moran, a member of the House committee that oversees military spending, said the plan was discussed in a closed-door meeting of committee Democrats on Thursday. Brendan Daly, a spokesman for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, DCalif., declined to confirm the details and or say whether Pelosi bucks the plan. But he said: "We have said we want to make sure our troops have all the training and equipment they need and that the Iraqi sovemment must meet the benchmarks Presi(lent Bush endorsed." Bush said the Iraqis had promised to meet certain goals when he offe"'d to send 21 ,500 more troops to Iraq. For example, the Iraqis pledged to spend more money on reconstruction and reach a political a~ree­ ment to share the nauon's · oil resources. If the Iraqis fail to live up to their promises, some troops could be left behind under the Democrats' plan to train Iraqi troops or con- · duct counterterrorism missions, Moran said. Bush re9uested $93.4 billion for thts year's military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Moran said that as of Thursday, the proposal was. on tra.:k to add an extra $1 hillion to step up efforts in Afghanistan. Money also would be added to improve health care for veterans and help wounded active-duty troops, as well as provide relief for hurricane victims. The legislation also would require Bush to seek congressional approval for any military operations in Iran. The Senate. meanwhile, could begin floor debate on lruq as early as next week . Sens. Joseph Biden, 0-Del., and Curl Levin, D-Mkh., have proposed a resolution that would call tor combat troops to come home by March 2008. As Democrats finalized their spending plan for this year, White House chief of staff Joshua Bolten told Senate Republican leaders that the administration will need additional funding to pay for the influx of troops to Iraq. The Pentagon initially estimated the 21 ,500 troops would cost $5.6 billion through Oct. I. But 6,000 more personnel will be needed to provide support to the combat units. according to GOP aides. The administration also might amend its funding request in order to provide more money for Afghanistan. The White House is expected to offer to trim other part s of the 2007 war spending request such as the controversial V-22 tilt-rotor aircraft to offset the money needed . Bohen did not offer a specific figure for the support troops, the aides said. Also on Thursday, an influential Senate Democrat tloated the idea of cutting $20 billion from Bush's request tor military operations next year in Iraq and Af~hanistan, only to be swtftly overridden by his colleagues. The trial balloon floated by Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad would have trimmed Bu~h's $142 billion war budget for 2008 by about one-seventh in keeping with cost · estimates by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget · Office. Conrad's idea would ·have applied to the next budget year beginning Oct. I - a separate issue from the debate over Bush's $100 billion request for immediate supplemental war funding. But it raised concerns among Democrats sensitive to any accusations of shorting funding for troops in battle. "Our caucu' feels strongly that we should go with the president's numbers" on 2008 war costs. Conrad said. Associated Pres.\· writer Allllrt•11· ·Tar/or contributed fo tlus repo.rt . Scientists tum attention to world's poles to gauge global wanning BY ANGELA CHARLTON ASSOC IATED PRESS WRITER I PARIS - Are we really heading for an ice-free Arctic·) More than 50.000 researchers hope to find an answer during a massive study of how global warming and other phenomena are changing the coldest parts of the Earth. Scientists formally kicked off the International Polar Year on Thursday, the biggest such project in 50 years. ll is unifying researchers from 63 nations in 228 studies to monitor the health of the polar regions, using icebreakers, satellites and submarines. The project ends in March 2009. Schoolchildren in Oslo, Norway, many with signs that said "Give us back winter" or "We want snow." built snowmen on the City Hall square to mark Thursday s launch. The director of the Norwegian Polar Institute described . seeing glaciers melt at an accelerated rate in recent years at his Arctic outpost of Ny-Alesund. The polar year is important because it is "pooling the resources of many countries in a coordinated effort to solve a major scientific problem of our time.'" Kim Holmen said by telephone. Global warming "is the lllOSt important challenge we face in Ibis century," Prince Alben U of Monaco said in launcbing the project in Paris. "The hour is no longer Friday, March a, for skepticism. It is time to act, and act urgently." He •noted an authoritative report released last month by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that said global warming is ,.unequivocal, very likejy human-caused. A scientist on that panel warned that the world could be heading for an ice-free Arctic. a proposition backed up Thursday by Ian Allison. a co-chair of the International Polar Yeiu committee and researcher t.he Australian with Government Antarctic Commission. "The projections are that ice in the Arctic will disappear in the .summer months. There will no longer be perennial ice ... sometime within the next century," he said. "This will have enormous consequences" on the 4 million people living in polar regions - and well beyond. he said. as the melting ice disrupts ecosystems all the way to the equator. Russian geographer Vladimir Kotlyakov. who has studied polar regions for 50 years and is a lead ti~ure in the polar year proJect. was skeptkal of the pre~ic­ tions of an ice-free Arctic. But he did not deny climate changes already were affecting Russia. "We' ll have to change our agriculture. our industry. ·even our mentality as a frozen country." he said at the Paris event. In stressing the global impact of the polar study. Michel Jarraud of the U.N. World Meteorological Organization said a major breakthrough of the last International Polar Year, in 1957-195S. was in scientists' understanding of the tropics and their weather systems. , This time, the scientists are armed with much better technology. especially satellites to study polar regions. known as the cryosphere. They will study everything from the effect of solar radi- ation on the polar atmosphere to the exotic marine life swimming beneath the Antarctic ice. The polar year is being sponsored by the U.N.'s World Meteorological Organization and the International Council for Science. Abllut $1.5 billion has been earmarked for the year 's projects by various national exploration agencies. but most of the money comes from existing polar research budgets.

Middleport OH �The Daily Sentinel NATION • WORLD Bv ROBERT BLI RNS AP MILITARY w'RITE A AP photo Democrats to demand troops leave Iraq if benchmarks not met ASSOCIATED PRESS WRIT ER WASHINGTON House Democratic leaders have coalesced around legislation that would require troops to come home lrom Iraq within si~ months if that country 's leaders fail to meet promises to help reduce violence there, pany officials said Thursday. The plan would retain a Democratic proposal prohibiting the deployment to Iraq of troops with insufficient rest or trainins or who already have served there for more than a year. Under the plan, such troops could only be sent to Iraq if President Bush WIIIVes those standards and reports to Congress each time. The proposal is the latest attempt by Democrats to resolve deep divisions within the pany on how far to go to scale back U.S. involvement in Iraq. Rep. Jame~ Moran said the latest version has the support of pany leadership and said he believes it is final and has the best chance at attracting broad support. "We're going to report out" a war spending bill "that's respons.ive to the will of the voters last November and brings our troops home as soon and safely as possible," Moran, D-Va. , said in an interview Thursday. Moran, a member of the House committee that oversees military spending, said the plan was discussed in a closed-door meeting of committee Democrats on Thursday. Brendan Daly, a spokesman for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, DCalif., declined to confirm the details and or say whether Pelosi bucks the plan. But he said: "We have said we want to make sure our troops have all the training and equipment they need and that the Iraqi sovemment must meet the benchmarks Presi(lent Bush endorsed." Bush said the Iraqis had promised to meet certain goals when he offe"'d to send 21 ,500 more troops to Iraq. For example, the Iraqis pledged to spend more money on reconstruction and reach a political a~ree­ ment to share the nauon's · oil resources. If the Iraqis fail to live up to their promises, some troops could be left behind under the Democrats' plan to train Iraqi troops or con- · duct counterterrorism missions, Moran said. Bush re9uested $93.4 billion for thts year's military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Moran said that as of Thursday, the proposal was. on tra.:k to add an extra $1 hillion to step up efforts in Afghanistan. Money also would be added to improve health care for veterans and help wounded active-duty troops, as well as provide relief for hurricane victims. The legislation also would require Bush to seek congressional approval for any military operations in Iran. The Senate. meanwhile, could begin floor debate on lruq as early as next week . Sens. Joseph Biden, 0-Del., and Curl Levin, D-Mkh., have proposed a resolution that would call tor combat troops to come home by March 2008. As Democrats finalized their spending plan for this year, White House chief of staff Joshua Bolten told Senate Republican leaders that the administration will need additional funding to pay for the influx of troops to Iraq. The Pentagon initially estimated the 21 ,500 troops would cost $5.6 billion through Oct. I. But 6,000 more personnel will be needed to provide support to the combat units. according to GOP aides. The administration also might amend its funding request in order to provide more money for Afghanistan. The White House is expected to offer to trim other part s of the 2007 war spending request such as the controversial V-22 tilt-rotor aircraft to offset the money needed . Bohen did not offer a specific figure for the support troops, the aides said. Also on Thursday, an influential Senate Democrat tloated the idea of cutting $20 billion from Bush's request tor military operations next year in Iraq and Af~hanistan, only to be swtftly overridden by his colleagues. The trial balloon floated by Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad would have trimmed Bu~h's $142 billion war budget for 2008 by about one-seventh in keeping with cost · estimates by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget · Office. Conrad's idea would ·have applied to the next budget year beginning Oct. I - a separate issue from the debate over Bush's $100 billion request for immediate supplemental war funding. But it raised concerns among Democrats sensitive to any accusations of shorting funding for troops in battle. "Our caucu' feels strongly that we should go with the president's numbers" on 2008 war costs. Conrad said. Associated Pres.\· writer Allllrt•11· ·Tar/or contributed fo tlus repo.rt . Scientists tum attention to world's poles to gauge global wanning BY ANGELA CHARLTON ASSOC IATED PRESS WRITER I PARIS - Are we really heading for an ice-free Arctic·) More than 50.000 researchers hope to find an answer during a massive study of how global warming and other phenomena are changing the coldest parts of the Earth. Scientists formally kicked off the International Polar Year on Thursday, the biggest such project in 50 years. ll is unifying researchers from 63 nations in 228 studies to monitor the health of the polar regions, using icebreakers, satellites and submarines. The project ends in March 2009. Schoolchildren in Oslo, Norway, many with signs that said "Give us back winter" or "We want snow." built snowmen on the City Hall square to mark Thursday s launch. The director of the Norwegian Polar Institute described . seeing glaciers melt at an accelerated rate in recent years at his Arctic outpost of Ny-Alesund. The polar year is important because it is "pooling the resources of many countries in a coordinated effort to solve a major scientific problem of our time.'" Kim Holmen said by telephone. Global warming "is the lllOSt important challenge we face in Ibis century," Prince Alben U of Monaco said in launcbing the project in Paris. "The hour is no longer Friday, March a, for skepticism. It is time to act, and act urgently." He •noted an authoritative report released last month by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that said global warming is ,.unequivocal, very likejy human-caused. A scientist on that panel warned that the world could be heading for an ice-free Arctic. a proposition backed up Thursday by Ian Allison. a co-chair of the International Polar Yeiu committee and researcher t.he Australian with Government Antarctic Commission. "The projections are that ice in the Arctic will disappear in the .summer months. There will no longer be perennial ice ... sometime within the next century," he said. "This will have enormous consequences" on the 4 million people living in polar regions - and well beyond. he said. as the melting ice disrupts ecosystems all the way to the equator. Russian geographer Vladimir Kotlyakov. who has studied polar regions for 50 years and is a lead ti~ure in the polar year proJect. was skeptkal of the pre~ic­ tions of an ice-free Arctic. But he did not deny climate changes already were affecting Russia. "We' ll have to change our agriculture. our industry. ·even our mentality as a frozen country." he said at the Paris event. In stressing the global impact of the polar study. Michel Jarraud of the U.N. World Meteorological Organization said a major breakthrough of the last International Polar Year, in 1957-195S. was in scientists' understanding of the tropics and their weather systems. , This time, the scientists are armed with much better technology. especially satellites to study polar regions. known as the cryosphere. They will study everything from the effect of solar radi- ation on the polar atmosphere to the exotic marine life swimming beneath the Antarctic ice. The polar year is being sponsored by the U.N.'s World Meteorological Organization and the International Council for Science. Abllut $1.5 billion has been earmarked for the year 's projects by various national exploration agencies. but most of the money comes from existing polar research budgets.

In my tirst year of teaching. over 40 years ago, my bright seventh-grade class dutifully stood with hands on heart' and recited the pledge as they had been doing since kindergarten . I then asked them the meanings of the word': pledge. allegiance, republic, indtvisible, libeny and justice. One student asked if liberty was like freedom, but no one had a clue what the other words meant. I'd rmher have young people say the pledge once. understand it and mean it. th<m mouth what to them are meaningless words every school clay.

As a taxpayer in America I can't sit back and not write this letter and hope the millions of taxpaying Americans do the same while our president cuts·biliions from American taxpayer programs and the government doesn't get it yet. Stop foreign aid. If American programs have to be cut. how do we have tax money for foreign aid' As for the war overseas, bring them home, Mr. President. Let them fight themselves. America isn't the world police and if we leave we'll still get their oil. They can't live without fort!ign aid and they'll have to sell their oil or go hungry. It's time our government stood up and said we're done protecting the world and the foreign governments. Better find new ways to stay afloat because Amencan taxpayers have no more foreign aid. We do have American programs that use American tax dollars to put Americans to work and live a happy life here in a free America. Tell those foreign countries come see how being free and good to one another works for your people. Let's push tax dollars to stay home not sent overseas where no one knows where it goes.

"We acknowledge that ip the most extreme circumstances, where member churches choose not to fulfill the substance of the covenant ... we will consider that such churches will have relinquished for themselves the force and meaning of the covenant's purpose , and a process of restoration and renewal will be required to re-establish their covenant relationship with other member churches."

As a taxpayer in America I can't sit back and not write this letter and hope the millions of taxpaying Americans do the same while our president cuts·biliions from American taxpayer programs and the government doesn't get it yet. Stop foreign aid. If American programs have to be cut. how do we have tax money for foreign aid' As for the war overseas, bring them home, Mr. President. Let them fight themselves. America isn't the world police and if we leave we'll still get their oil. They can't live without fort!ign aid and they'll have to sell their oil or go hungry. It's time our government stood up and said we're done protecting the world and the foreign governments. Better find new ways to stay afloat because Amencan taxpayers have no more foreign aid. We do have American programs that use American tax dollars to put Americans to work and live a happy life here in a free America. Tell those foreign countries come see how being free and good to one another works for your people. Let's push tax dollars to stay home not sent overseas where no one knows where it goes. Raise your pen and let it be wrilten, no more foreign aid.

"We acknowledge that ip the most extreme circumstances, where member churches choose not to fulfill the substance of the covenant ... we will consider that such churches will have relinquished for themselves the force and meaning of the covenant's purpose , and a process of restoration and renewal will be required to re-establish their covenant relationship with other member churches."

Htsloncai records do, m fact, support the Biblical account of Jesus ' crucilixion and resurrection. The tests used lo determine the veracity (or accuracy) of an ancien! document have three primary elements: lirst, whether or not the document internally agrees with ttself (or is consistent throughout with whal 11 records and with the claims that tt makes) ; second, whether or not the document coincides with other rehable sources from the same time frame; and third, whether or not the document has eyewtlnesses or second-hand reports taken from eyewitness accounts (much like a JOUr· nalislic inlerview) verilied by a bibliographic record (the sheer number of coptes of the earliest Bibhcai manuscripts enormously support ils authenticity) . If a document fails in any one of these three categories , then it cannot be considered historically reltable . lnlerestingly, the Bible passes all three tests with flying colors with a solidness that I doubt any other ancient manuscript can duplicate. And the few sup· posed contradicttons that folks like to point to have more to do with either the common difficulty of translatinl! ancient languages into English (tt isn't an exact science, afler all), or a general ignorance of the cultural context surrounding a troublinj! passage .Furthermore, while this latest pseudo-archeological discovery has perhaps .generated a volley of "brick-throwing" from skeptics, the historical texts that comprise the New Testament did not come into being two to three hundred years after the life of Chnst but in only decades followin g His death. burial and resurrecti on (defy. ing lhe theory that the account s of these things are mythical) , Three of the Gospels were eye witnes s accounts and the fourth was an investigative report based on interviews with eyewilnesses 1Biblical ev idence aside, for the moment. Jacobovici and Cameron 's cia11ns are still problemattc m of them· selves. For instance. apparenliy their "ace m the hole" is that they have dismissed archaeologtsts as bemg insufliciently knowledgeable in the tield of an:haeoiogy and have mstead consulted "statistictans."

And so, of course, he wants to steal our blessings. It nearly goes Without say mg, by the way, that the dev il never blesses... He only curses. !hough he may disguise those curses as being something great and glonous and appealing . After all , he is called "the seduc· er (or deceiver) of all humanity the world over" for a reason . (See Revelation 12.9, AMP) So whal to do about lhts thief. Here are just a couple of praclical suggestions. First, be aware. Our Lord teaches us this in the Gospels, of course. If you are aware of the thief entenng your house, you have an opportunity lo protect your family and goods ... Bul you have to be aware. Second, as we are taught in the Book of James, "be subject to God Resist lhe devil !stand linn against him 1. and he will flee from you." (James 4.7 , AMP) And how do we do this? Pray. Prayer brings you close to the Good Shepherd and under His protecttve care. And, of course, seek the prayers of your brothers and sisters in Christ. This is important. Believe and keep believing. Remember what we are taught, "The just shall live by faith .. ,'' That ts, the redeemed children of God shall live and continue living by means of faith, of behevmg und lrusling God. Read and Fight Thut is, read the Word of God. Claim the great and precious promises in the pages of Holy Scripture. Fight with Scripture. Remember the Lord Jesus in the wilderness? He answered lhe temptations and challenges of Salan with Holy Scripture. We certainly should do no less. Finally, praise God. We are taught m the Psalms that God nol only delights in the prai se of His people, He actually lives in our pratsei That is, the Lord is espectally and powerfully Jresent when we are engage m heartfelt pratse and worship. Christ came to bring life and life in abundance. The thief comes to sleal and kill and destroy. Thi s ts truth, reality as it ts. Be aware, then. and be on your guard. Resisl the devil. lighl back and enjoy the overnow ing and blessed life you have in and throu~h Jesus. our Lord,and only Savwur. Amen. Pastor Thom Mollohan I hstened to them in an intervtew on MSNBC, 'the y said that the mathematictans !hey consuiled estimated that the range offrobabthty of findmg a group o ossuanes (stone coftins) wilh lhts list of names was in the hundreds of thousands (althou ~h Andrey Feuerverger of the Umversity of Toronto actually said that the probabilily of lindmg something like this was I tn I 00 or " I in I,000 - far from Jacobovici 's ligures but still not very exact for a mathematician) , But the real problem with their ciling of stalisticians is that the careful scientilic l?rocess employed by archaeologtsts is enhrely overlooked. And whtle I have a great respect for mathemati· cians, it occurs to me that the professionals best qualified to make claims about archaeological findings are archaeologists themselves. Having said that, it is extremely signilicant to me that Amos Kloner, the archaeologist that first opened the site, indicated that Jacohovici and Cameron's theory does not measure up to archaeological scrutiny ahhough it may ,prove sensational enough 10 make a lot of money in movies - hence an ulte· nor motive in making such a claim (see the Associated Press article by Karen Matthews , "Documentary Shows Possible Jesus Tomb," Feb. 27. 2007) The bottom line ts that, in the end, the accounts of the Gospels will be vindicaled by God Himself Skeplicism is understandable to im extent in an age of confusion like ours, yet we are all sttll accountable to God to seek the truth and then to ) ield to that truth . And if people today will humble themselves and consider this man named Jesus, they will lind that truth isn' t a thing . it's a Person ... a Person Who can ~ive !hem elernai life ahd everlast· mg hope. This Truth. Who defeated death and ru ies forever, is Jesus Christ. Any effort on our part to dimimsh the fact of His power and love is like throwing bricks at a Plexiglas window . ., we might try to smash it to smithereens, but the only real effect ts that we knock ourselves out. "Jesus looked dtrectly at them and asked, 'Then what is the meaning of thai which " •...ritlen: '"The stone the builders reJected has become the capstone"'" Everyone who falls on !hat stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.' .. "I am the Way. and the Truth , and the Li fe. No one comes to the Father excepl through Me" (luke 20:17- 18. John 14:6 NIV).

PASTOR, TRI NITY CHURCH A couple of years ago, I was sent, as an e-mail anachment, some footage of 1wo young men attempting to rob a store . Thanks to a near· by security camera, millions have been able to watch as man-number· one rounds the corner of the building and takes his position as look· out Man-number-two joins him a few seconds later and casuall y walks to the from of the s1ore, stopping in front of its large display window. After a moment of making sure the coasl is clear, mannumber-two picks up a large brick from the ground and hurls it at the Plexiglas window. The brick not only fails to break the window. 'it ricoc\,lets and crashes into the back of the head of man-number-one who collapses onto the pavement, unconscious. Man-number-two fails to look behind him and notice that his companion is down for the count, so he picks up another brick. With as much strength as he can muster, he throw s this one at the window, too. It bounces again and this lime hits lhe would-be window breaker 's forehead, knocking him out also (at least I think they are both knocked out, although I sup· pose it is possible that they have killed themselves in their less-than· intelligent effons), However it may be for lhese two, we can find similar phenomena taking place in the realm of spirituality. Consider for a moment the claims of two movie directors, Simcha Jacobovici and James Cameron (Cameron was the Academy Award winning director of ''Titanic"). Jacobovici recently directed a "documentary" in which ht claims that he has dtscovered a tomb in the outskirts of the city of Jerusalem containing the bones of Jesus and his wife, Mary Magdalene (as well as Jesus' parents and a child named Judah supposedly belonging to Jesus and Mary Magdalene). If this in fact l?roved to be the case, the implications would be cataclysmic in Christendom, fnr, after all, as AI Mohler, of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, put it, Christianity "has always understood the physical resurrection of Christ to be at the very center of the faith" (quote taken from the Associated Press article by Karen Matthews, "Documentary Shows Possible Jesus Tomb," Feb. 27, 2007). And, of course, Jacobovici 's supposed discovery contradicts the Biblical account of Jesus' cructfixion and resurrection. The problem then become s who's telling lhe truth ' One cannot dismiss the Bible 's witness as merely symbohc since the language of lhe document is dearly not intended to be figurative in the Gospels or in the book of Acts. If it is nol melaphorical and if tt is not facluai, then il is not only wrong but is a deliberate hoax. On the other hand, if the Bible is truly a dependable document, recording !\hddkporl l'r.-sb~ tcrWu Sn~J~·r Sll n da~ Slhool IU • "ontup •a• ,._c t I am P:.~w r Morse Chapel Church SunJa) ~~ h oo l · 10 .t m, Wnrsh1p am.

Jonathan Noble Funny how lhings pan out in the life of failh sometimes. For example, y,ou may have an awesome experience in Sunday morning worship, bul !hen less than an hour after you find your· self thinking about all the fault s and shorlcomings and problems in lhe church. And before the day is over you ·may very well have lost everything you gained from the morning worship ser· vtce. Whal happened'! Or something good happe ns to someone - relalive. friend or co-worker - bu1 instead of being lhanktui for that person and lhanking God for blessing lhem, whteh ,is whal we should do, we begin wondering whal in lhe world they did 10 deserve it. We begin feeling sorry for ourselves as Jealousy creeps in, and before long we are ac!Ually upset with that person. start giving lhem the cold shoulder and har· boring ill will. What happened? Or. you pray for a new and beuer job. God answers your prayer ... but before the end of the first monlh (or even before the end 0 f the lirst week) you begin seeing faults in each and every co-worker. You begin seeing all of the problems in the work place and ail of the things you just know you will really hate to do in your "new and bet· ter job." And then, not so surprising, you are actually miserable. What happened? Well, the answer may not be popular with postmodern intelli· genlsia, laden as they are with so much psychobabble, bul 11 ts scrip!Ural. ''The thief comes to sleal and kill and deslroy." And who is this malevolenl thief? Our adversary the devil , of course, who "roams around like a lion [in fierce hunger], seekmg someone to setze upon and devour." (I Peter 5.8b, AMP) The devil and his legions of darkness, his armies of hell, are ltke the foxes we read about in lhe Song of Solomon, who "ruin the ~iney\lfds ." (See Song of Solomon 2.15) And what is ~row­ ing, or should be growing, m the vmeyard of our life' Well, the fruit of the Spirit, of course. And what is that? "Love, JOy, peace, paltence, kindness, goodness. fidelity, gentleness and self-control." (Galatians 5.22-23a, REB) And obviously, if the devil is lhe father of lies, he comes along to steal the truth, Or, tf the truth has already laken root in our lives, he comes along and sows seeds of darkness, doubt and fear. We are also taught lhat "'ble ssings are showered on the nghteous " (See Proverbs 10,6) Thatts, God pours out His blessings upon \\ bil4' ·~ ( ..liptl \\ H k'IUI Cuol\ tlle Responding to recent claims about .the Tomb of Jesus 10, NRSV) -1 pm <.:eanal Clusltr \ sbul) (S)r;to,:u~ J P,t,l~•r Uub M·•b uJ "'.on SunJa) S\ hu1•l · 9 -15 a m , Wnrslltp · II am WeJn!;!sdn~ SenKo!'\ 7 ~) p m Past1•r ;\rl a1JJ IJ,.IJ Knub uu ( o Hd l l P.htur Re\ R111;e r Wlllturd .

Htsloncai records do, m fact, support the Biblical account of Jesus ' crucilixion and resurrection. The tests used lo determine the veracity (or accuracy) of an ancien! document have three primary elements: lirst, whether or not the document internally agrees with ttself (or is consistent throughout with whal 11 records and with the claims that tt makes) ; second, whether or not the document coincides with other rehable sources from the same time frame; and third, whether or not the document has eyewtlnesses or second-hand reports taken from eyewitness accounts (much like a JOUr· nalislic inlerview) verilied by a bibliographic record (the sheer number of coptes of the earliest Bibhcai manuscripts enormously support ils authenticity) . If a document fails in any one of these three categories , then it cannot be considered historically reltable . lnlerestingly, the Bible passes all three tests with flying colors with a solidness that I doubt any other ancient manuscript can duplicate. And the few sup· posed contradicttons that folks like to point to have more to do with either the common difficulty of translatinl! ancient languages into English (tt isn't an exact science, afler all), or a general ignorance of the cultural context surrounding a troublinj! passage .Furthermore, while this latest pseudo-archeological discovery has perhaps .generated a volley of "brick-throwing" from skeptics, the historical texts that comprise the New Testament did not come into being two to three hundred years after the life of Chnst but in only decades followin g His death. burial and resurrecti on (defy. ing lhe theory that the account s of these things are mythical) , Three of the Gospels were eye witnes s accounts and the fourth was an investigative report based on interviews with eyewilnesses 1Biblical ev idence aside, for the moment. Jacobovici and Cameron 's cia11ns are still problemattc m of them· selves. For instance. apparenliy their "ace m the hole" is that they have dismissed archaeologtsts as bemg insufliciently knowledgeable in the tield of an:haeoiogy and have mstead consulted "statistictans."

And so, of course, he wants to steal our blessings. It nearly goes Without say mg, by the way, that the dev il never blesses... He only curses. !hough he may disguise those curses as being something great and glonous and appealing . After all , he is called "the seduc· er (or deceiver) of all humanity the world over" for a reason . (See Revelation 12.9, AMP) So whal to do about lhts thief. Here are just a couple of praclical suggestions. First, be aware. Our Lord teaches us this in the Gospels, of course. If you are aware of the thief entenng your house, you have an opportunity lo protect your family and goods ... Bul you have to be aware. Second, as we are taught in the Book of James, "be subject to God Resist lhe devil !stand linn against him 1. and he will flee from you." (James 4.7 , AMP) And how do we do this? Pray. Prayer brings you close to the Good Shepherd and under His protecttve care. And, of course, seek the prayers of your brothers and sisters in Christ. This is important. Believe and keep believing. Remember what we are taught, "The just shall live by faith .. ,'' That ts, the redeemed children of God shall live and continue living by means of faith, of behevmg und lrusling God. Read and Fight Thut is, read the Word of God. Claim the great and precious promises in the pages of Holy Scripture. Fight with Scripture. Remember the Lord Jesus in the wilderness? He answered lhe temptations and challenges of Salan with Holy Scripture. We certainly should do no less. Finally, praise God. We are taught m the Psalms that God nol only delights in the prai se of His people, He actually lives in our pratsei That is, the Lord is espectally and powerfully Jresent when we are engage m heartfelt pratse and worship. Christ came to bring life and life in abundance. The thief comes to sleal and kill and destroy. Thi s ts truth, reality as it ts. Be aware, then. and be on your guard. Resisl the devil. lighl back and enjoy the overnow ing and blessed life you have in and throu~h Jesus. our Lord,and only Savwur. Amen. Pastor Thom Mollohan I hstened to them in an intervtew on MSNBC, 'the y said that the mathematictans !hey consuiled estimated that the range offrobabthty of findmg a group o ossuanes (stone coftins) wilh lhts list of names was in the hundreds of thousands (althou ~h Andrey Feuerverger of the Umversity of Toronto actually said that the probabilily of lindmg something like this was I tn I 00 or " I in I,000 - far from Jacobovici 's ligures but still not very exact for a mathematician) , But the real problem with their ciling of stalisticians is that the careful scientilic l?rocess employed by archaeologtsts is enhrely overlooked. And whtle I have a great respect for mathemati· cians, it occurs to me that the professionals best qualified to make claims about archaeological findings are archaeologists themselves. Having said that, it is extremely signilicant to me that Amos Kloner, the archaeologist that first opened the site, indicated that Jacohovici and Cameron's theory does not measure up to archaeological scrutiny ahhough it may ,prove sensational enough 10 make a lot of money in movies - hence an ulte· nor motive in making such a claim (see the Associated Press article by Karen Matthews , "Documentary Shows Possible Jesus Tomb," Feb. 27. 2007) The bottom line ts that, in the end, the accounts of the Gospels will be vindicaled by God Himself Skeplicism is understandable to im extent in an age of confusion like ours, yet we are all sttll accountable to God to seek the truth and then to ) ield to that truth . And if people today will humble themselves and consider this man named Jesus, they will lind that truth isn' t a thing . it's a Person ... a Person Who can ~ive !hem elernai life ahd everlast· mg hope. This Truth. Who defeated death and ru ies forever, is Jesus Christ. Any effort on our part to dimimsh the fact of His power and love is like throwing bricks at a Plexiglas window . ., we might try to smash it to smithereens, but the only real effect ts that we knock ourselves out. "Jesus looked dtrectly at them and asked, 'Then what is the meaning of thai which " •...ritlen: '"The stone the builders reJected has become the capstone"'" Everyone who falls on !hat stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.' .. "I am the Way. and the Truth , and the Li fe. No one comes to the Father excepl through Me" (luke 20:17- 18. John 14:6 NIV).

PASTOR, TRI NITY CHURCH A couple of years ago, I was sent, as an e-mail anachment, some footage of 1wo young men attempting to rob a store . Thanks to a near· by security camera, millions have been able to watch as man-number· one rounds the corner of the building and takes his position as look· out Man-number-two joins him a few seconds later and casuall y walks to the from of the s1ore, stopping in front of its large display window. After a moment of making sure the coasl is clear, mannumber-two picks up a large brick from the ground and hurls it at the Plexiglas window. The brick not only fails to break the window. 'it ricoc\,lets and crashes into the back of the head of man-number-one who collapses onto the pavement, unconscious. Man-number-two fails to look behind him and notice that his companion is down for the count, so he picks up another brick. With as much strength as he can muster, he throw s this one at the window, too. It bounces again and this lime hits lhe would-be window breaker 's forehead, knocking him out also (at least I think they are both knocked out, although I sup· pose it is possible that they have killed themselves in their less-than· intelligent effons), However it may be for lhese two, we can find similar phenomena taking place in the realm of spirituality. Consider for a moment the claims of two movie directors, Simcha Jacobovici and James Cameron (Cameron was the Academy Award winning director of ''Titanic"). Jacobovici recently directed a "documentary" in which ht claims that he has dtscovered a tomb in the outskirts of the city of Jerusalem containing the bones of Jesus and his wife, Mary Magdalene (as well as Jesus' parents and a child named Judah supposedly belonging to Jesus and Mary Magdalene). If this in fact l?roved to be the case, the implications would be cataclysmic in Christendom, fnr, after all, as AI Mohler, of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, put it, Christianity "has always understood the physical resurrection of Christ to be at the very center of the faith" (quote taken from the Associated Press article by Karen Matthews, "Documentary Shows Possible Jesus Tomb," Feb. 27, 2007). And, of course, Jacobovici 's supposed discovery contradicts the Biblical account of Jesus' cructfixion and resurrection. The problem then become s who's telling lhe truth ' One cannot dismiss the Bible 's witness as merely symbohc since the language of lhe document is dearly not intended to be figurative in the Gospels or in the book of Acts. If it is nol melaphorical and if tt is not facluai, then il is not only wrong but is a deliberate hoax. On the other hand, if the Bible is truly a dependable document, recording !\hddkporl l'r.-sb~ tcrWu Sn~J~·r Sll n da~ Slhool IU • "ontup •a• ,._c t I am P:.~w r Morse Chapel Church SunJa) ~~ h oo l · 10 .t m, Wnrsh1p am.

For example, y,ou may have an awesome experience in Sunday morning worship, bul !hen less than an hour after you find your· self thinking about all the fault s and shorlcomings and problems in lhe church. And before the day is over you ·may very well have lost everything you gained from the morning worship ser· vtce. Whal happened'! Or something good happe ns to someone - relalive. friend or co-worker - bu1 instead of being lhanktui for that person and lhanking God for blessing lhem, whteh ,is whal we should do, we begin wondering whal in lhe world they did 10 deserve it. We begin feeling sorry for ourselves as Jealousy creeps in, and before long we are ac!Ually upset with that person. start giving lhem the cold shoulder and har· boring ill will. What happened? Or. you pray for a new and beuer job. God answers your prayer ... but before the end of the first monlh (or even before the end 0 f the lirst week) you begin seeing faults in each and every co-worker. You begin seeing all of the problems in the work place and ail of the things you just know you will really hate to do in your "new and bet· ter job." And then, not so surprising, you are actually miserable. What happened? Well, the answer may not be popular with postmodern intelli· genlsia, laden as they are with so much psychobabble, bul 11 ts scrip!Ural. ''The thief comes to sleal and kill and deslroy." And who is this malevolenl thief? Our adversary the devil , of course, who "roams around like a lion [in fierce hunger], seekmg someone to setze upon and devour." (I Peter 5.8b, AMP) The devil and his legions of darkness, his armies of hell, are ltke the foxes we read about in lhe Song of Solomon, who "ruin the ~iney\lfds ." (See Song of Solomon 2.15) And what is ~row­ ing, or should be growing, m the vmeyard of our life' Well, the fruit of the Spirit, of course. And what is that? "Love, JOy, peace, paltence, kindness, goodness. fidelity, gentleness and self-control." (Galatians 5.22-23a, REB) And obviously, if the devil is lhe father of lies, he comes along to steal the truth, Or, tf the truth has already laken root in our lives, he comes along and sows seeds of darkness, doubt and fear.

Steelers cut outspoken LB Porter Prep ·Scoreboard PITISB URGH (A P) The Pittsburgh Steelers released outspoken ve1eran linebacker Joey Poner on Thursday. The 29-year-old Porter, who was in the final year of his contrdct, had been the staning right outside linebacker since 2000, the year atier he was drafted by the Steelers. Porter was to receive a $1 million bonus on March 6, and was due to earn $4 million in 2007. "It's a business decision that was made," Steelers spokesman Dave Lockett said. Director of Football Operations Kevin Colbert said the salary cap was the reason Poner was cut. Releasing Porter allows the Steelers to get under the NFL's $ 109 million salary cap by Friday, when the free agent signing period begins. "Releasing a player like Joey Porter, who has meant so much to this franchise and helped us win a Super Bowl championship. is not an easy thing to do," Co I bert ,,.,_ sm~ .. " It 's v........._ detmnely a -~~ salary capr e I a te d i s s u e where we needed some short-term rel ief. But we al so had to factor in whal our cap situalion 's going to be in 2008 and 2009 and beyond. ... I'm sure Joey will attract a lot of intercsl (from other teams) very quickly." Porter, who was signed lhrough ·2007, says there are no hard feelings. "'The organization has always been good to me, Poner said· in a television interview. " It was a great run in Pittsburgh. I have no prohlem with them at alL I think it was a tough decision lhat they had to make, and it was one they had to make and they did it in the right way." Porter, 'l!ho played 122 games and made I 06 starts, was an integral part of the Steelers' defense. An outspoken sack specialist his 60 sacks rank fou nh in team his tory - Pon er's trash-lalking was one of lhe subplols leading up( to lhe 2006 Super Bowl , wllen lhe Stee lers beat the Seatt le Seahawks . In the lead-up to the tille game, Poner called the Seahawks' Jerramy S1evens "sofl" and ··a first-round bust." In December, Poner was fined $ 10,000 by the NFL for what the league called "vulgar, inexcusable statements" after he made a derogatory slur queslioning Cleveland ti ght end Ke llen Winslow 's sex ual orientation following a 27-7 wm over the Browns. Poner also recorded 498 tackles and I 0 interceptions for the Steelers. The .Steelers also released injured running back Verron Haynes and offensive tackle Ulish Booker, who spent the 2006 season on the reserve/injured li st. The Steelers also made tender offers to restricted free agents offensive tackle Max Starks and quanerback Brian St. Pierre.

And when Poca did miss, they had several second chance opporlunities as the Dots dominated the boards by a 47-26 margin over Point Pleasant. "I told them when we came in at th~;. half that . the things that really concerned me the least were what was hurting us," said Point Pleasant coach Rich Blain. "When they did miss, they are getting two. three or four shots and when you get in a little hole and are trying to fight your way out, you can't have that. Give them credit, a lot of those shots they made, they were guarded. We just couldn' t get it going." As a whole, Poca was very efficient in every aspect of the game as it went up big early and never looked back. Cottrill had 23 points to lead the Dots and also added five rebounds and three assists. Josh Nuti had 13 points and four boards and Matt Orcutt had 12 points, nine rebounds. four assists and two blocked shots.

Steelers cut outspoken LB Porter Prep ·Scoreboard PITISB URGH (A P) The Pittsburgh Steelers released outspoken ve1eran linebacker Joey Poner on Thursday. The 29-year-old Porter, who was in the final year of his contrdct, had been the staning right outside linebacker since 2000, the year atier he was drafted by the Steelers. Porter was to receive a $1 million bonus on March 6, and was due to earn $4 million in 2007. "It's a business decision that was made," Steelers spokesman Dave Lockett said. Director of Football Operations Kevin Colbert said the salary cap was the reason Poner was cut. Releasing Porter allows the Steelers to get under the NFL's $ 109 million salary cap by Friday, when the free agent signing period begins. "Releasing a player like Joey Porter, who has meant so much to this franchise and helped us win a Super Bowl championship. is not an easy thing to do," Co I bert ,,.,_ sm~ .. " It 's v........._ detmnely a -~~ salary capr e I a te d i s s u e where we needed some short-term rel ief. But we al so had to factor in whal our cap situalion 's going to be in 2008 and 2009 and beyond. ... I'm sure Joey will attract a lot of intercsl (from other teams) very quickly." Porter, who was signed lhrough ·2007, says there are no hard feelings. "'The organization has always been good to me, Poner said· in a television interview. " It was a great run in Pittsburgh. I have no prohlem with them at alL I think it was a tough decision lhat they had to make, and it was one they had to make and they did it in the right way." Porter, 'l!ho played 122 games and made I 06 starts, was an integral part of the Steelers' defense. An outspoken sack specialist his 60 sacks rank fou nh in team his tory - Pon er's trash-lalking was one of lhe subplols leading up( to lhe 2006 Super Bowl , wllen lhe Stee lers beat the Seatt le Seahawks . In the lead-up to the tille game, Poner called the Seahawks' Jerramy S1evens "sofl" and ··a first-round bust." In December, Poner was fined $ 10,000 by the NFL for what the league called "vulgar, inexcusable statements" after he made a derogatory slur queslioning Cleveland ti ght end Ke llen Winslow 's sex ual orientation following a 27-7 wm over the Browns. Poner also recorded 498 tackles and I 0 interceptions for the Steelers. The .Steelers also released injured running back Verron Haynes and offensive tackle Ulish Booker, who spent the 2006 season on the reserve/injured li st. The Steelers also made tender offers to restricted free agents offensive tackle Max Starks and quanerback Brian St. Pierre.

Milton gave up a homer by Pinsburgh's Andrew McCutchen on his third pitch of the game, which the Reds won 9-7 . He also gave up a solo homer by Luis Matos in the second inning. He had surgery to clean out his elbow on Sept. 22. which limited his offseason workouts.

Former motorsports promoter Michael Goodwin said the 1988 killings of Mickey and Trudr, Thompson were "a tragedy. ' "I can't apologize because I'm not guilty of this crime:· Goodwin. 61. told the judge before being sentenced to two consecutive terms of life in prison without the possibility of parole. The Thompsons were shot to death while leavmg their gated home in the Lvs •Angeles suburb of Bradbury. The k iHers. who .:ame on • b.icycles, were never caught. Goodwin used to work with Thompson, a high-protile motorspons figure who pursued land-speed records. drove everything from dragsters to midget cars. and promoted off·road racing. The prosecution said Goodwin sent hit men to kill the couple as revenge for a business deal that went sour and led to a legal judgment of more than $700.000 against Goodwin. After the sentencing. Thompson's sister. Collene and Ivan Campbell. "lronman" Stewart, an offroad racing champ who nedited his career to Thompson. stood outside the courthouse waving blackand-white checkered nags. Earlier. in her statement to the judge. Campbell referred to her nearly 19-year battle to bring the case to a close. "We are proud that, along with law enforcement. we were not intimidated and did not desert our tight to bring justice:· she said, becoming occasionally tearful as she spoke of the victims and the impact of their deaths. "Michael Goodwin ts a coward and a bully who hired and arranged for shooters to kill Mickey and Trudy. all for hb selfindulgence. ~reed and to accomplish hts de sired sinful plan.'' she said . "There is no doubt that our fami lv has been subc jected to ·evi l at its '""'t by this nOW-Clllll'iCled killer.'' she said . Deputy Publit· Defemkr Elena Saris argued for a new trial. saying that the judge's ru lin gs den1ed Goodwin the chant·c w put on an adequate defense and that his right to a speedy trial had been denied . Prosecutor Alan Jackson argued that the case was properly presented. "This was a c ircumstanual case:· the judge ultimately declared, ·'but the evidence was overwhelming .... I can say it was the appropnatc verdict based on the eviuencc." Prosecutors satd the case will rematn open until the two shooters are caught. Saris said she planned to appeal. and Goodwin said he would never give up the fight to prove that he did not commit the crime. " I v,(on -, let it go ull the day I drc ... he said . Out"de court.

"Now it feels good. I can't complain." Milton signed with the Reds as a free agent after the 2po4 season, when he gave up a major league- leading 43 homers with Philadelphia. He got a threeyear. $25 .5 million deal from former Reds general manager Dan O'Brien. I Milton gave up a clubrecord 40 homers with Notebook the Reds in 2005, the most in the National League. He missed three weeks early last season after surgery to clean out his le~t knee, then had the elbow problems. Overall, he was 8.8 in 26 starts with a 5.19 ERA and 29 homers allowed in 152 2-3 innings. The Reds are hoping that Milton can be a dependable No. 3 starter this season, following Aaron Harang and Bronson Arroyo in the rotation. " For this team to be suc-cessful, it would be great ~f we had three guys that can pitch 200 innings," said Milton. who hasn't pitched 200 innings since 2004. Milton makes $9 million this season, the final ye1J1 on his contract. The Reds have not talked to liim about an extension. "We want to see where we are at the end of the year." general manager Wayne Kriv sky said.

Martin followed up a runner-up finish in the Daytona 500 by finishing fifth 10 the season's second race at California Speedway. Martin, who plans to compete in only 23 of the current season's 36 races, leads the Nextel Cup points standings by five over Jeff Burton. After two more races, at Las Vegas and Atlanta, Martin will step aside in favor of 23-year-old Re· gan Smith when the series visits Bristol, Tenn., on March 25. Martin said he couldn't be happier with his reduced role. At age 48, he has finished second in the Cup points standings four times. He has no regrets, however, about his decision not to compete full time this year. "There's a lot of pressure off of me to not be racing for these points, although we are, kind of, because we need to keep the car up in the top 35 in (owner) points," he said. "At the end of the day, I'm one of the happiest guys in racing. I've got the best job in motorsports right now." Another big change for Martin is the fact that he is now driving a Chevrolet after spending most of his career driving the No. 6 Ford of what is now Roush Fen way Racing. In order to cut back his schedule, Martin moved to Ginn Racing's Army-sponsored No. OL "ll's different remembering what to say and answering questions about it," said Martin, "but at the end of the day, we're racing the heck out of these cars, and for me, that's what it's all about.

"Some day, when I feel like I don't belong or can't be competitive or whatever it might be, when I make the decision that I don't want to Cup race anymore, maybe I would do the truck thing full-time," he said. "That's one of the things that's still on the top of my list, but I still have a lot of good Cup racing in me." Contact Monte Dutton at hmduttonSO@aol.com I think NASCAR officials made them selves look bad with the ca ll of putting Jeff Gordon at the back of tne startmg field in the Daytona 500. I think when Robin Pem· berton came on SPEED to an· nounce this, it was actually a \lery poor reflection on N.ASCAR . They're 1 beginning to ere· ate an image with the public that N.ASCAR drivers are just a bunch of cheaters. and that isn't true. Flagrant violations are one thing. but nickel·and-dime. unintentional ac· t ions are another. How is it appropriate to send someone to the rear of the field for an unintentional woiolation? It seems to me there have been legit· imate parts malfunctions in the past that did not result in any penalties . What we need is more consistency. In my opinion.

NASCAR is abandoning the 22g'allon tank that has been in use for decades. Lower capacity, obviously, means more pit stops during a 500-mile race. "When you pit more often, it can go either way.'' said Casey Mears. "You might start to feel more comfortable and start pushing the limits because you've done tt 10 times already, but you've got to hold yourself back and say, 'All right, right here is not where we need to pass I0 guys; we just need to come out where we came in, and if we can pick up a spot or two, great.'

"As a fan of NASCAR and a competito~ now.'' said Sadler, "I'm glad they didn't throw the caution. This is our Daytona 500. This is our Super Bowl of racing.
