TRIN ITY CHURCH Christian Faith rests upon the validity of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. If he did not literally, physically rise from the dead that earl y Sunday morning so long ago, 1hen everything else even tually comes cras hing to the ground. which is precisely why this event has been the most attacked and maligned by critics and skeptics. From absurd, farfetched novels to recently discovered, so-called "gospels," Christianity has no shortage of antagonists. This is nothing new, of course, as we are told in the Gospel of St. Matthew. From the very first Easter there were those who circulated the story that the disciples had stolen the body of Jesus. Absurd, to say the least, that a rag-tag group of utterly discouraged and frightened men would challenge the Roman guards to steal the body of their beloved Lord. And .why. pray tell? What did they have to gain in so doing? Vindication, perhaps? If so, that slight vindication ended in poverty, persecution and martyrdom for all of them save one, the Beloved John. But, in fact, as far as the events of ancient history go, the resurrection of Jesus is one of the most veri tied and, thus, reliable . The authenticity of the New Testament and particularly the Gospels, despite countless and sometimes ruthless attempts to discredit, has been established time and agatn. No other ancient manuscript or body of supplement and conflllll the Gospel accounts. These come largely from Greek, Roman, · Jewish and Samaritan sources of the first century. "hr brief they inform us that Jesus was from Nazareth and he lived a wise· and virtuous life. (They tell us that) he was crucified in Palestine under Pontius Pilate during the reign of Tiberius Caesar at Passover time, being considered the Jewish king, and that He was believed by his disciples to have been raised from the dead three days later. "(They tell us that) his enemies acknow Iedged that he perfonned unusual feats they called 'sorcery,' that his small band of disciples multiplied rapidly, spreading even as far as Rome, (and that) his disciples ... lived moral lives, and worshipped Christ as Divine. This picture confinns the view of Christ 'presented in the New Testament Gospels." SAO PAULO, Brazil (AP) A prominent Brazilian rabbi who was charged with shoplifting last month in Florida says he still plans to meet with Pope Benedict XVI at a meeting of all of Latin America's Roman Catholic bishops. . In an interview with Estado de S. Paulo newspaper published April 6, Rabbi Henry I. Sobel said he would "ask for God's forgiveness, if I am given the opportunity" during his time with the pontiff in May. "I am not Catholic, so I cannot ask for the pope's forgiveness," he said.

It is the nation's second-largest diocese, serving 2.5 million Catholics, and is one of the highest-profile Catholic posts in the country. Egan's office said April 2 that the cardinal has submitted his offer to resign. He has been archbishop of New York since 2000, when he replaced the late Cardinal John O'Connor.

Egan has worked to shore up the shaky finances of the archdiocese but has drawn criticism in the process. In October, a group of priests claimed Egan was arrogant in his treatment of some clergy ' and the letter they sent him about it was released publicly. Egan has also upset some parish- . ioners with his plan to close some parishes and combine others to reflect the movement of C~tholics from the city to t~e suburbs. Silver Run B11plist Pastor.

Matthew 5:8 Pray Without Ceasing Tho Bible tolls us that we should "'Rejoice always, and pmy wi thout ceasing." ( I ' Thossalunians 5: 16-1 7) Trying to be always joyful can be demanding enough, but praying at all.times rcall)' seems impossi ble. 209 Third Racine, OH In the dic tionary, une definition uf pruyer is 1 a spiritual communion with God, and · awareness of His presence. Praying to GOd is like having a conversation with a lovell one who is aware of our needs afid des ires. God knows our shortcomings and our faults. and He also knoWs what is best for us. He knows that we have .busy lives and that our daily jobs require attention; however. we sho uld be ever m lndf ul that He is always with us. And, when things a re n't go ing ve ry well, perhaps a silent prayer is in order, keeping in niind that the re is no situation that is too dirticUit for our ,personal friend who created Heaven and Eanh. Also. prayer 740-949-2210 "A Home Bank for Home People" Hills Self Storage 29670 Bashan Rd. Racine, OH 740-949-2217 ~izes of gratitude and thank sgiving should be extended when all is right with the world and we recogni ze that we have been blessed in some way.

Besides, we also have the simple but .astounding f<~ct of the early and very rapid spread of the Good News of Jesus Christ, spearheaded by His poor and despised disciples. And who can adequately explain these mass conversions, the countless number of radically changed lives, and the thousands upon thousands of early martyrs apart from the fact of the resurrection? No, the resurrection stands as an almost indisputable fact of history, really. Even extra-biblical, nonChristian sources confirm many important essentials of the, New Testament record, further subsian,tiating their credibility and historical reliability.

TRIN ITY CHURCH Christian Faith rests upon the validity of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. If he did not literally, physically rise from the dead that earl y Sunday morning so long ago, 1hen everything else even tually comes cras hing to the ground. which is precisely why this event has been the most attacked and maligned by critics and skeptics. From absurd, farfetched novels to recently discovered, so-called "gospels," Christianity has no shortage of antagonists. This is nothing new, of course, as we are told in the Gospel of St. Matthew. From the very first Easter there were those who circulated the story that the disciples had stolen the body of Jesus. Absurd, to say the least, that a rag-tag group of utterly discouraged and frightened men would challenge the Roman guards to steal the body of their beloved Lord. And .why. pray tell? What did they have to gain in so doing? Vindication, perhaps? If so, that slight vindication ended in poverty, persecution and martyrdom for all of them save one, the Beloved John. But, in fact, as far as the events of ancient history go, the resurrection of Jesus is one of the most veri tied and, thus, reliable . The authenticity of the New Testament and particularly the Gospels, despite countless and sometimes ruthless attempts to discredit, has been established time and agatn. No other ancient manuscript or body of supplement and conflllll the Gospel accounts. These come largely from Greek, Roman, · Jewish and Samaritan sources of the first century. "hr brief they inform us that Jesus was from Nazareth and he lived a wise· and virtuous life. (They tell us that) he was crucified in Palestine under Pontius Pilate during the reign of Tiberius Caesar at Passover time, being considered the Jewish king, and that He was believed by his disciples to have been raised from the dead three days later. "(They tell us that) his enemies acknow Iedged that he perfonned unusual feats they called 'sorcery,' that his small band of disciples multiplied rapidly, spreading even as far as Rome, (and that) his disciples ... lived moral lives, and worshipped Christ as Divine. This picture confinns the view of Christ 'presented in the New Testament Gospels." SAO PAULO, Brazil (AP) A prominent Brazilian rabbi who was charged with shoplifting last month in Florida says he still plans to meet with Pope Benedict XVI at a meeting of all of Latin America's Roman Catholic bishops. . In an interview with Estado de S. Paulo newspaper published April 6, Rabbi Henry I. Sobel said he would "ask for God's forgiveness, if I am given the opportunity" during his time with the pontiff in May. "I am not Catholic, so I cannot ask for the pope's forgiveness," he said.

It is the nation's second-largest diocese, serving 2.5 million Catholics, and is one of the highest-profile Catholic posts in the country. Egan's office said April 2 that the cardinal has submitted his offer to resign. He has been archbishop of New York since 2000, when he replaced the late Cardinal John O'Connor.

Egan has worked to shore up the shaky finances of the archdiocese but has drawn criticism in the process. In October, a group of priests claimed Egan was arrogant in his treatment of some clergy ' and the letter they sent him about it was released publicly. Egan has also upset some parish- . ioners with his plan to close some parishes and combine others to reflect the movement of C~tholics from the city to t~e suburbs. Silver Run B11plist Pastor.

Besides, we also have the simple but .astounding f<~ct of the early and very rapid spread of the Good News of Jesus Christ, spearheaded by His poor and despised disciples. And who can adequately explain these mass conversions, the countless number of radically changed lives, and the thousands upon thousands of early martyrs apart from the fact of the resurrection? No, the resurrection stands as an almost indisputable fact of history, really. Even extra-biblical, nonChristian sources confirm many important essentials of the, New Testament record, further subsian,tiating their credibility and historical reliability.

When his mother 's Jewish parents arrived from Poland, they added "ski" to their name becau se they thought "Rafal ski" sounded Catholic and, thus, would be safer. And when . Kathleen Rafalski married Dennis Maris, she immediately JOined the St. Demetrius Onhodox Church m Hammond, Ind. "They were married in the . Greek church," said Peter Maris, 42 . "She learned to speak Greek. She learned to cook Greek. She did everything she could to show her commitment to the faith ." Then came the parish Christmas party, when his mother brought a plate of Polish cookies. His father dido 't tell this story often, because it was too painful. "Some of the-·women got upset," said Peter Maris. "They told my mother, 'What are you doing, bringing those in here? We 4on 't need you and we don't need your Polish cookies. We are Greek."' The family walked out and never returned. Now, near! y four decades later, Maris has come home to Eastern Orthodoxy JUSt in time for "Pascha" ·(Easter in the West). This is one man's story, but it contains elements of Terry Mattingly stories told by thousands of converts in an era when this old-world faith is growing in a land already packed with Protestant and Catholic churches. In most communities, Orthodox parishes are known · as the "Greek church" or the "Russian church" or carry some other ethnic labeL This is one man's story, and it happens to be a story that I first overheard in the fellowship hall of my own Orthodox parish. What is different about this minister named Maris is that his story combines both the joy · and pai~ experienced by "converts" and "cradles"those born into Orthodoxy - who are learning to live and worship together in an ancient church that is quietly . sinking its roots into modern America. Maris has tasted the bitter and the sweet. . There are an estimated 250 million .Orthodox believers. worldwide - the second ·largest Christian flock - but only 1.2 million in the 22 ethnic jurisdictions in North America. While a ·few leader~ have 2007 W'Ww.mydailysentinel.com ' Friday, Aprilt3, 2007 · raised eyebrows by claiming a 6 percent annual growth rate, an accurate count would.. have to account for ethnic members who are drifting out of Orthodoxy as well as converts who are joining. It's safer to count U.S. parishes and watch clergy trends. The convert-friendly Antiochian Orthodox Archdiocese has, for exampie, grown from 66 parishes to 250 parishes and missions in four decades. Also, a recent survey found that 43. percent of today's seminarians•are converts, a percentage that must be higher among the Antiochians and in the Orthodox Church in America, which sprang from Russian roots. Maris is unusual, since he was baptized Orthodox before finding his way into evangelicalism. He met his Baptist wife at Chicago's Moody Bible Institute, did graduate degrees at Regent College in Vancouver, British Columbia, .and worked in Korean Presbyterian and Chinese Christian churches before being ordained as a priest in the Charismatic Episcopal Church. "For the longest time, I could only see Orthodoxy through the eyes of my childhood," he said. "For me, Orthodoxy. was an ethnic ghetto . ... In many ways, I came back to the church kicking and screaming. But in the end, I knew this was ·Obituaries where I was supposed to be. There was no place else I could go." Maris can slill speak . some Greek and he has been experiencing flashbacks to · early memories of the•taste of Communion wine, the .smell of incense, echoes of Byzantine hymns and glimpses of an icon of Jesus, high in a sanctuary dome . However, he also remembers his parents' conflicting emotions as their new American dreams clashed with ethnic traditions. He witnessed similar dramas in · Korean and Chinese churches. "You want to keep the language and you want to keep the food and .all of that, s omehow, gets mixe.d in with the traditions of the church," he·said. "Then the parents discover that they just can't communicate with their kids and the kids just can't appreciate what is happening in church because that's all wound up wiih the ethnicity thing .... "At some PQint you have to claim the faith as your own -you can't inherit it. · In the end, you have to believe."

Realizing that the Iraq war has been a failure thus far, and ought to be called off if all hope is truly lost, is a far cry from throw, ing in the towel if there is a serious prospect that a reasonable success can yet be achieved. It is understandable that the Democrats don't want to see this. It is in their highest partisan interest that ·our venture in Iraq should be a total debacle, to be blamed entirely oil Bush and the Republicans. But the American people as a whole cannot afford to play such petty games. The whole future of the Middle East, with all that means for the West and the world in general, depends on whether it falls into the lap of the lslamist fanatiCs.

The six giants, earh locking arms around the head of another, nearly did not see him, but when their yellow and bloodshot .eyes alighted on him, they paused in their ·scufflings. The six horrible and ugly giants each had hi s named branded into the flesh of his forehead . Their names were "Cruelty," "Pride," ' 1Sloth," "Anger.'' "Resentment,". and "Greed." · Cruelty had a burning hot iron ; Pride had an iron crown ; Sloth a huge, but filthy pillow ; Anger a double-edged sword; Resentment an enormous book with scarlet letters on its cover; and Greed a bag that clinked as gold coins do when they' re moved about. "Well ," the brave little tailor said as he looked up at the . titanic troupe before him, "I've been sent to defeat you and banish you from the land." The giants looked at !lim, then they looked at each other, and then began to roar with laughter. And as they rolled about on the ground, they guffawed so loudly that they could be heard all the way back in the town (to the dismay of the inhabitants who assumed that the tailor had come to an untimely end). Meanwhile, the tailor simply too~ up in his hand the one and only tool that he had and faced the giants. In six swift stitches, he bound the giants together, one strung thread for each of the evil brothers. For Cruelty he stitched Kindness; for Pride he sewed Humility; for Sloth there was Encouragement; for Anger he had Forgiveness; for Resentment he stitched Praise; . and for Greed he sewed Contentment. By the time the six giants stopped laughing they were already bound and made captive to the brave, little tailor.Then they began to cry and shout out, begging to be released. "Just you wait!" they sneered as he stood by them; unmoved. "Our brother, Little Doubt, will take care of you!" And sure enough, the seventh giant came striding up the road. "But he looks so small ," the tailor thought to himself. "He's smaller than even me! Surely he can't hurt me!" 'iut Little ::>oubt, when he the little tailor and the g0.g of gruesome giants, made a surly face at the tailor, PQpped his thumb in his mouth and blew. There was a loud "popping" noise and suddenly Little Doubt stood as high as a house, stooping over the tailor with an outstretched hand reaching for him. But the tailor smiled. He also had a surprise. Little Doubt had puffed himself up to mon strous proportions, but the tailor had bread that the little giant had never heard of before. Taking his daily bread, called "Confidence in the Lord's Promises," the tailor ate and then .. . ZOOM! ... he was suddenl y a giant to the giants. Little Doubt stood frozen , gazing up at the towering form of the tailor. The tailor calmly turned around and sat down upon Little Doubt, squishing him with the weight of "Confidence in the Lord 's Promises" until he was gone. So , lest we be overwhelmed by the "giants in the land" that cast their daunting shadows over our lives every day, let\ remember that God doesn't puff us up with vain· delu sions of our greatness, but H\: does hold us up with His strength and Jove. . "For this reason we also, since th~ day we heard i,, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask ·that you may be fil)ed with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasi)lg Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in, the knowledge of God; · strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy; giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light" (Colossians I :9- 12 NKJV).

Thought for Today: "In most things success depends on knowing how long it takes to succeed." - Charles Louis de Montesquieu, French philosopher ( 1689-1755). · LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ) . / Friday, April13, When Peter Maris· father arrived from Greece, the U.S. immigration officer couldn't understand his last name, and "Margari s" became "Maris." When his mother 's Jewish parents arrived from Poland, they added "ski" to their name becau se they thought "Rafal ski" sounded Catholic and, thus, would be safer. And when . Kathleen Rafalski married Dennis Maris, she immediately JOined the St. Demetrius Onhodox Church m Hammond, Ind. "They were married in the . Greek church," said Peter Maris, 42 . "She learned to speak Greek. She learned to cook Greek. She did everything she could to show her commitment to the faith ." Then came the parish Christmas party, when his mother brought a plate of Polish cookies. His father dido 't tell this story often, because it was too painful. "Some of the-·women got upset," said Peter Maris. "They told my mother, 'What are you doing, bringing those in here? We 4on 't need you and we don't need your Polish cookies. We are Greek."' The family walked out and never returned. Now, near! y four decades later, Maris has come home to Eastern Orthodoxy JUSt in time for "Pascha" ·(Easter in the West). This is one man's story, but it contains elements of Terry Mattingly stories told by thousands of converts in an era when this old-world faith is growing in a land already packed with Protestant and Catholic churches. In most communities, Orthodox parishes are known · as the "Greek church" or the "Russian church" or carry some other ethnic labeL This is one man's story, and it happens to be a story that I first overheard in the fellowship hall of my own Orthodox parish. What is different about this minister named Maris is that his story combines both the joy · and pai~ experienced by "converts" and "cradles"those born into Orthodoxy - who are learning to live and worship together in an ancient church that is quietly . sinking its roots into modern America. Maris has tasted the bitter and the sweet. . There are an estimated 250 million .Orthodox believers. worldwide - the second ·largest Christian flock - but only 1.2 million in the 22 ethnic jurisdictions in North America. While a ·few leader~ have 2007 W'Ww.mydailysentinel.com ' Friday, Aprilt3, 2007 · raised eyebrows by claiming a 6 percent annual growth rate, an accurate count would.. have to account for ethnic members who are drifting out of Orthodoxy as well as converts who are joining. It's safer to count U.S. parishes and watch clergy trends. The convert-friendly Antiochian Orthodox Archdiocese has, for exampie, grown from 66 parishes to 250 parishes and missions in four decades. Also, a recent survey found that 43. percent of today's seminarians•are converts, a percentage that must be higher among the Antiochians and in the Orthodox Church in America, which sprang from Russian roots. Maris is unusual, since he was baptized Orthodox before finding his way into evangelicalism. He met his Baptist wife at Chicago's Moody Bible Institute, did graduate degrees at Regent College in Vancouver, British Columbia, .and worked in Korean Presbyterian and Chinese Christian churches before being ordained as a priest in the Charismatic Episcopal Church. "For the longest time, I could only see Orthodoxy through the eyes of my childhood," he said. "For me, Orthodoxy. was an ethnic ghetto . ... In many ways, I came back to the church kicking and screaming. But in the end, I knew this was ·Obituaries where I was supposed to be. There was no place else I could go." Maris can slill speak . some Greek and he has been experiencing flashbacks to · early memories of the•taste of Communion wine, the .smell of incense, echoes of Byzantine hymns and glimpses of an icon of Jesus, high in a sanctuary dome . However, he also remembers his parents' conflicting emotions as their new American dreams clashed with ethnic traditions. He witnessed similar dramas in · Korean and Chinese churches. "You want to keep the language and you want to keep the food and .all of that, s omehow, gets mixe.d in with the traditions of the church," he·said. "Then the parents discover that they just can't communicate with their kids and the kids just can't appreciate what is happening in church because that's all wound up wiih the ethnicity thing .... "At some PQint you have to claim the faith as your own -you can't inherit it. · In the end, you have to believe."

Realizing that the Iraq war has been a failure thus far, and ought to be called off if all hope is truly lost, is a far cry from throw, ing in the towel if there is a serious prospect that a reasonable success can yet be achieved. It is understandable that the Democrats don't want to see this. It is in their highest partisan interest that ·our venture in Iraq should be a total debacle, to be blamed entirely oil Bush and the Republicans. But the American people as a whole cannot afford to play such petty games. The whole future of the Middle East, with all that means for the West and the world in general, depends on whether it falls into the lap of the lslamist fanatiCs. If. we abandon that whole region to them, they will sense that they are winning · and we will soon see them again - but this time closer to home.

The six giants, earh locking arms around the head of another, nearly did not see him, but when their yellow and bloodshot .eyes alighted on him, they paused in their ·scufflings. The six horrible and ugly giants each had hi s named branded into the flesh of his forehead . Their names were "Cruelty," "Pride," ' 1Sloth," "Anger.'' "Resentment,". and "Greed." · Cruelty had a burning hot iron ; Pride had an iron crown ; Sloth a huge, but filthy pillow ; Anger a double-edged sword; Resentment an enormous book with scarlet letters on its cover; and Greed a bag that clinked as gold coins do when they' re moved about. "Well ," the brave little tailor said as he looked up at the . titanic troupe before him, "I've been sent to defeat you and banish you from the land." The giants looked at !lim, then they looked at each other, and then began to roar with laughter. And as they rolled about on the ground, they guffawed so loudly that they could be heard all the way back in the town (to the dismay of the inhabitants who assumed that the tailor had come to an untimely end). Meanwhile, the tailor simply too~ up in his hand the one and only tool that he had and faced the giants. In six swift stitches, he bound the giants together, one strung thread for each of the evil brothers. For Cruelty he stitched Kindness; for Pride he sewed Humility; for Sloth there was Encouragement; for Anger he had Forgiveness; for Resentment he stitched Praise; . and for Greed he sewed Contentment. By the time the six giants stopped laughing they were already bound and made captive to the brave, little tailor.Then they began to cry and shout out, begging to be released. "Just you wait!" they sneered as he stood by them; unmoved. "Our brother, Little Doubt, will take care of you!" And sure enough, the seventh giant came striding up the road. "But he looks so small ," the tailor thought to himself. "He's smaller than even me! Surely he can't hurt me!" 'iut Little ::>oubt, when he the little tailor and the g0.g of gruesome giants, made a surly face at the tailor, PQpped his thumb in his mouth and blew. There was a loud "popping" noise and suddenly Little Doubt stood as high as a house, stooping over the tailor with an outstretched hand reaching for him. But the tailor smiled. He also had a surprise. Little Doubt had puffed himself up to mon strous proportions, but the tailor had bread that the little giant had never heard of before. Taking his daily bread, called "Confidence in the Lord's Promises," the tailor ate and then .. . ZOOM! ... he was suddenl y a giant to the giants. Little Doubt stood frozen , gazing up at the towering form of the tailor. The tailor calmly turned around and sat down upon Little Doubt, squishing him with the weight of "Confidence in the Lord 's Promises" until he was gone. So , lest we be overwhelmed by the "giants in the land" that cast their daunting shadows over our lives every day, let\ remember that God doesn't puff us up with vain· delu sions of our greatness, but H\: does hold us up with His strength and Jove. . "For this reason we also, since th~ day we heard i,, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask ·that you may be fil)ed with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasi)lg Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in, the knowledge of God; · strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy; giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light" (Colossians I :9- 12 NKJV).

Eliot Ness plaque stolen from police HQ CLEVELAND (AP) ·Famed crime-fighter Eliot. Ness' plaque is missing, stolen right from the Cleveland . police headquarters. Ness, who earned his tough-on-crime reputation by taking on the mob and successfully prosecuting gangster AI Capone in Chicago, came to Cleveland in the 1930s to be the city's public safety director. His plaque, worth about $225, was in the police museum on the first floor of the city's Justice Center. lltere's no security check to get into the museum, operated by the Cleveland Police Historical Society. The only thing securing the plaque was the screw that it hung on. Volunteers staff the museum and guide visitors through antique police uniforms, photographs and relics of policing technology past. When. museum volunteers first noticed that the bronze on walnut plaque was. missing from the Wall of Fame, they didn't report it stolen. They thought perhaps someone had borrowed it because the museum lends out its materials. Local weather. Prosecutors say Ohio man in alleged bomb plot was dedicated to .al·Qaida Local stocks .

Eliot Ness plaque stolen from police HQ CLEVELAND (AP) ·Famed crime-fighter Eliot. Ness' plaque is missing, stolen right from the Cleveland . police headquarters. Ness, who earned his tough-on-crime reputation by taking on the mob and successfully prosecuting gangster AI Capone in Chicago, came to Cleveland in the 1930s to be the city's public safety director. His plaque, worth about $225, was in the police museum on the first floor of the city's Justice Center. lltere's no security check to get into the museum, operated by the Cleveland Police Historical Society. The only thing securing the plaque was the screw that it hung on. Volunteers staff the museum and guide visitors through antique police uniforms, photographs and relics of policing technology past. When. museum volunteers first noticed that the bronze on walnut plaque was. missing from the Wall of Fame, they didn't report it stolen.

It's somewhere in the .Nonheast- Maine, maybe? Delaware? Must be some lit.tie private school. . The recent underdog suec,esses of Rutgers' football and wome~ ·s basketball teams made tt hard to overlook New Jersey's 50,000- . student state umversity. And ~ast week, Don lmus made it JUSt about impossible. · T.he pain of the sl ur the radio host used to describe the women's team is still fresh, but· the grace with which the players and students handled the situation they say. ' The school's newfound prominence began last fall with the unexpected success of Rutgers' football team, a per\!nnial doormat. The team went 11-2 and won the Texas Bowl. Then the women's basketball team defied expectations and made it to the national final this month before losi ng to Tennessee. A day later, lmus opened his mouth, and Rutgers was in the news for a very different reason. . At a pres s conference Tuesday, the players and head coach C. Vivian Stringer talked about how much Jmus' comments hurt and how they planned to meet with him. They stopped shon of calling for him to be fired . MSNBC dropped the TV simulcast of the lmus' program Wednesday; CBS fired him Thursday. · The players' responsewas hailed as an example of how to respond to adversity. The New York Daily News ran a photo of the team on its front page under the one-word headline "Dign ity." • More attention · came Thursday with a team appearance on "The Oprah Wmfrey Show," where Stringer said MSNBC's decision "shows that we do have moral fiber. And people are speaking up." "The success of the teams and the outstanding job the women's' basketball team did at the press conference raised awareness of the institution," university spokesman Greg Trevor said. "It opened a window, and people around the nation are looking in through that window." They apparently like what they see. 'Last year, Rutgers received a record number of applications, more than 40,0Q0. This .year 's applications are running 7 pe rcent ahead of that. And throu gh January 2007, donation s to the Rutgers Foundation are up a whopping 35 percent over the same period last year, school officials said. Rutgers is relatively selective for a big state university. It accepts about 60' percent of the students who apply, and more than half of those it admits were in the top I0 percent of their high school classes. Meanwhile, the university's " R" logo is popping up in more places as school pride grows throughout the Garden State and elsewhere. Marybeth Schmutz, assistant director of the university 's trademark licensing depanment, said sales of Rutgers merchandise are up more than 30 percenl in the last year. "You can't walk into a Kohl's or a Target or Modell 's wilhoul seei ng Rutgers stuff," she said. · While the school's ath letic success gave Rutgers wide exposure, il seems the lmus controversy has made an even bigger impact. Cienai Wright. a junior fro m Washington, D.C., likened the Imus fallout to I he way people came together after a disaster. "Even though this is a negative, it's coming out like a positive," she said. "J have . never been more proud of my school." : NEW YORK (AP)- Don .· , • in NBC.

Noah dido 't get a bill for his third year at school - he was on full scholarship but the decision likely cost JVm a few million. So, is one-and-done any better than players jumping straight to the pros from high school? When Stern won a small' concession from the players' union in July 2005\ and effectively pushed , the league's age minimum to 19 and a year out of high school, It was easy to be cynical about the an~wer.

Mike Conley Sr., who recently registered as an NBA ageni and says he will represent Oden - as well as pi s own son, ·Mike Conley Jr., another Ohio State freshman who might turn pro - did not return a call Thursday. But it's hard to imagine Oden saying no. Whether he gets picked first in the June draft, ahead of Durant, or just behind him at No. 2, there will be one contract Worth close to $20 million over four years awaiting his signature the second after he shakes NBA commissioner David Stern's hand.

It's somewhere in the .Nonheast- Maine, maybe? Delaware? Must be some lit.tie private school. . The recent underdog suec,esses of Rutgers' football and wome~ ·s basketball teams made tt hard to overlook New Jersey's 50,000- . student state umversity. And ~ast week, Don lmus made it JUSt about impossible. · T.he pain of the sl ur the radio host used to describe the women's team is still fresh, but· the grace with which the players and students handled the situation they say. ' The school's newfound prominence began last fall with the unexpected success of Rutgers' football team, a per\!nnial doormat. The team went 11-2 and won the Texas Bowl. Then the women's basketball team defied expectations and made it to the national final this month before losi ng to Tennessee. A day later, lmus opened his mouth, and Rutgers was in the news for a very different reason. . At a pres s conference Tuesday, the players and head coach C. Vivian Stringer talked about how much Jmus' comments hurt and how they planned to meet with him. They stopped shon of calling for him to be fired . MSNBC dropped the TV simulcast of the lmus' program Wednesday; CBS fired him Thursday. · The players' responsewas hailed as an example of how to respond to adversity. The New York Daily News ran a photo of the team on its front page under the one-word headline "Dign ity." • More attention · came Thursday with a team appearance on "The Oprah Wmfrey Show," where Stringer said MSNBC's decision "shows that we do have moral fiber. And people are speaking up." "The success of the teams and the outstanding job the women's' basketball team did at the press conference raised awareness of the institution," university spokesman Greg Trevor said. "It opened a window, and people around the nation are looking in through that window." They apparently like what they see. 'Last year, Rutgers received a record number of applications, more than 40,0Q0. This .year 's applications are running 7 pe rcent ahead of that. And throu gh January 2007, donation s to the Rutgers Foundation are up a whopping 35 percent over the same period last year, school officials said. Rutgers is relatively selective for a big state university. It accepts about 60' percent of the students who apply, and more than half of those it admits were in the top I0 percent of their high school classes. Meanwhile, the university's " R" logo is popping up in more places as school pride grows throughout the Garden State and elsewhere. Marybeth Schmutz, assistant director of the university 's trademark licensing depanment, said sales of Rutgers merchandise are up more than 30 percenl in the last year. "You can't walk into a Kohl's or a Target or Modell 's wilhoul seei ng Rutgers stuff," she said. · While the school's ath letic success gave Rutgers wide exposure, il seems the lmus controversy has made an even bigger impact. Cienai Wright. a junior fro m Washington, D.C., likened the Imus fallout to I he way people came together after a disaster.

Noah dido 't get a bill for his third year at school - he was on full scholarship but the decision likely cost JVm a few million. So, is one-and-done any better than players jumping straight to the pros from high school? When Stern won a small' concession from the players' union in July 2005\ and effectively pushed , the league's age minimum to 19 and a year out of high school, It was easy to be cynical about the an~wer. The decision was still being balanced on the backs of the PLAY COVERALL BINGO PRo BASEBALL Colorado has only until April 29 to decide. Mike Conley Sr., who recently registered as an NBA ageni and says he will represent Oden - as well as pi s own son, ·Mike Conley Jr., another Ohio State freshman who might turn pro - did not return a call Thursday. But it's hard to imagine Oden saying no. Whether he gets picked first in the June draft, ahead of Durant, or just behind him at No. 2, there will be one contract Worth close to $20 million over four years awaiting his signature the second after he shakes NBA commissioner David Stern's hand. A sneaker deal similar to the one Nike reponedly gave Durant would double the dare. Then there 's- the cautionary tale of Joakim Noah to consider.

But he still thinkS the league may have judged Tennessee's Adam "Pacman" Jones and Cincinnati's Chris Henry too severely. Comrntssmner Roger Goodell recently suspended Jones for the enttre 2007 season and Henry for eight games. "It's a shock to me," Foxworth said Thursday. "I was surprised by how harsh the punishments were that carne down. It sends a message: The stance of the NFL ts very stem in off-the-field behavior, and I think that's in concert with how the players feel, with how the coaches feel, with how the fans feel. It's unacceptable " Foxworth was mvited to attend a round-table discussion at the NFL combine in February as key figures from the league talked about player safety and conduct. Broncos owner Pat Bowlen, Bengals coach Marvin Lewis, executive director of the NFL Players Assoctallon Gene Upshaw, and a dozen players fn>rn around the league parncipated. ''The meetings were a big think tank," Foxworth said. ''There were so many ideas and I dido 't know what the league would end up settling on. I was surpriSed by the harshness of these punishments constdering the incidents occurred prior to this new focus on off-the-field conduct" Jones and Henry were suspended under the old disctplinary pohcy. However, GOOdell imroduced a more stringent policy as he was handing out the penalties. The message Goodell sent carne across loud and clear. "If tt doesn't have the players second-guessing tl;leir I behavior, they won't be around for long," Foxworth saJd. 'The NFL IS gomg to clean up the league one way or another." While meeting with league representatives at the combine, Foxworth kept bringmg up one importanltssue: education. He thinks more programs · need to be established to atd and asstst players. "It should be a continued education process," said Foxworth, who lost close friend and Broncos teammate Darren! Williams to a drive-by shooting on New Year's Day. "Hopefully there will be more preventatl ve acts than reactionary acts. We don't want to see too many more suspensions. We'd rather prevent some things from occumng than have to react to them." One thmg Foxworth would like to know is how the punIshments will be handed out. "Different Situations requtre different pumshments," Foxworth said "I would hope that there's not going to be a big blanket thrown over ever;::body. Hopefully you won t (give) a guy for some severe crime the punishment you (gtve) a guy for a speedmg ticket " Bowlen strongly believes Goodell did the right thing implemen~ the new policy. He applau Goodell for his stance. "I absolutely do," Bowlen saJd Thesday rught before he was mducted mto the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame. "I thin(( he took a tou~h stand and I think he had to.' So does Foxworth. "I definitely think that people should be rewarded for not only what they do on the field, but the way.they carry themselves off the field," Foxworth said.

After three days of celebri. ty meetings and TV guest appearances, the weary Johnson shot an up-anddown 70 at Harbour Town Golf Lmks. He was seven shots behind Jerry Kelly, the first -round leader at 8-onder 63. Ernie Els was second at 65. Sttll, Johnso n's sm1le rarely left dunng hts rnornmg round, even as made two bogeys and a four-putt double bogey Crowds applauded hts every move, Johnson gratefully acknowledgmg the praise, yet eager to get the focus back on his course work. "I didn't come here just to show up. I'm gomg to try and wm. I'm going to play my ball and I'm going to play hard," Johnson said. "It felt good to start competing again. That's my business life." Business got dramattcally better last week when the 31year-old Iowan outlasted the field at difficult Augusta National to beat Tiger Woods, Rory Sabbatini and Relief Goosen by two strokes. Since then, Johnson has appeared with David Letterman, mel presidential candtdate Barack Obarna and gotten congratulatory calls from a fellow Regts Htgh alum, former NFL MVP Kurt Warner. And the adulatton dtdn't stop at Harbour Town. Johnson was greeted wtth cheers at nearly every green. "Nice Masters," a teen fan shouted Johnson, grinning, flashed a surfer's "hang 10" sign back As he was surrounded by TV cameras after the round, pro Btlly Andrade waved at h1m With congratulations. "Thanks, buddy," Johnson said. Johnson says he's done hts best the past 72 hours to remain the same, humble, unassuming family man from Cedar Rapids. Most Masters winners don't usually make the drive to South Carolina's coast for thts week's stop. Vijay Smgh in 2000 was the last to try and pair Harbour Town's tartan winner's coat wtth the green jacket. Johnson started quickly w1th a birdie on his first hole, the 1Oth. By the time he rolled in a birdie on the par-5 second, Johnson was 3 under and hot on Kelly 's heels That's when Johnson's whrrlwind week took tts toll. Johnson's approach on the thrrd hole dnbbled off the back, leading to a bogey. He three-putted from 65 feet on the par-3 fourth hole for a second straight bogey. After a crowd-pleasing eagle on the par-5 fifth, Johnson blew up on No. 6, four-putting from 35 feet for a double-bogey 6. Kelly, three shots behind Johnson last week, threatened to steal the Harbour Town spothght from the new · Masters champ. When Kelly knocked in a 4-foot birdie putt on his 15th hole, No. 6, he stood 9-under par with an outstde shot to break 60. The run ended two holes later after Kelly put his approach into a bunker and could not save par. Johnson's visit here was a shot in the arm to a tournament minus major draws such as Woods and Phil Mickelson. Jim Furyk, No. 2 ip the world, heads a field that mcludes just three of the world's top l 0 players. For Johnson that means "about 17 hours" of sleep before Friday afternoon's tee time.

In the Duke case, virtually all maJor niedia outlets declined to identify the accuser as the saga unfolded But that unanimity broke down Wednesday when North Carolina's attorney general dtsmtssed all remaining criminal charges against the three lacrosse players and declared them mnocent. The Charlotte Observer and The News & Observer of Raleigh swiftly posted articles online wtth the woman's name and photograph. The New York Post carried the woman's photo on its front page Thursday, wtth the tabloid headline, "The Duke Liar."

Melanie Stll, execultve editor of The News & Observer, said her paper also would review its pohcy. "It's worth takmg a fresh look at, although J can't say we'll come down in different place," Sill said. Some states have passed laws maktng it illegal to report the name of a sexual assault victim , but those laws have been struck down when challenged, and the practice of withholding victims' names is, in effect, an optional courtesy extended by the media. The practice has been undermined somewhat in the Internet age as accusers' names are spread onhne even while tradtttonal media withhold them. Joshua Marquis, the distnct attorney in AMona, Ore., and a vice prestdent of the National Distnct Attorneys Assoctatton, said prosecutors do not set out to keep the names of adult crime victims secret, but he commended the media for tis voluntary policy. "It's essentially selfrestramt," he satd. "There is sttll enormous stigma to bemg the VICtim of a sexual assault." Ktm Gandy, a former , prosecutor and now prestdent of the Nattonal Organization for Women said she hoped the rned1a would not change its practice because of the Duke case: •"The purpose is not only to protect the person making the cnrnmal complaint tt's to offer some sense of proteclton for any woman who might need to do so itt the future," she said. "Once one woman is exposed, regardless of the reason, it has a thilling effect for every other woman."

Although the accuser has now been wtdely 1denttfied - on · the Internet, in the maJor newspapers servmg the Raleigh-Durham area in North Carolina, and elsewhere - advocates for sexual-assault vtctims hope and expect the media to continue its voluntary, long-standing practice of not reporting the names of alleged victims who prefer anonymity. "The Duke case ts such an aberratton," satd Scott Berkowttz, board president of the Rape, Abuse and Incest Nattonal Network. "After there was a thorough mvesttgatmn and a conclusion that no cnme took place, the acc user stops being a victim and it's perfectly appropriate to identify her," he said "But I'd hope the press doesn · t rush to change their overall policy on this - that could have the short- term effect of discouragitlg certain VICilms from coming forward " Karen Pomer. an acuvist m California on behalf of victims since her own rape at gunpoint in 1995, smd tl remained daunting epough for victims to report an assault without the added factor of, knowing they might be publtcly 1denttfied.

But he still thinkS the league may have judged Tennessee's Adam "Pacman" Jones and Cincinnati's Chris Henry too severely. Comrntssmner Roger Goodell recently suspended Jones for the enttre 2007 season and Henry for eight games. "It's a shock to me," Foxworth said Thursday. "I was surprised by how harsh the punishments were that carne down. It sends a message: The stance of the NFL ts very stem in off-the-field behavior, and I think that's in concert with how the players feel, with how the coaches feel, with how the fans feel. It's unacceptable " Foxworth was mvited to attend a round-table discussion at the NFL combine in February as key figures from the league talked about player safety and conduct. Broncos owner Pat Bowlen, Bengals coach Marvin Lewis, executive director of the NFL Players Assoctallon Gene Upshaw, and a dozen players fn>rn around the league parncipated. ''The meetings were a big think tank," Foxworth said. ''There were so many ideas and I dido 't know what the league would end up settling on. I was surpriSed by the harshness of these punishments constdering the incidents occurred prior to this new focus on off-the-field conduct" Jones and Henry were suspended under the old disctplinary pohcy. However, GOOdell imroduced a more stringent policy as he was handing out the penalties. The message Goodell sent carne across loud and clear. "If tt doesn't have the players second-guessing tl;leir I behavior, they won't be around for long," Foxworth saJd. 'The NFL IS gomg to clean up the league one way or another." While meeting with league representatives at the combine, Foxworth kept bringmg up one importanltssue: education. He thinks more programs · need to be established to atd and asstst players. "It should be a continued education process," said Foxworth, who lost close friend and Broncos teammate Darren! Williams to a drive-by shooting on New Year's Day. "Hopefully there will be more preventatl ve acts than reactionary acts. We don't want to see too many more suspensions. We'd rather prevent some things from occumng than have to react to them." One thmg Foxworth would like to know is how the punIshments will be handed out. "Different Situations requtre different pumshments," Foxworth said "I would hope that there's not going to be a big blanket thrown over ever;::body. Hopefully you won t (give) a guy for some severe crime the punishment you (gtve) a guy for a speedmg ticket " Bowlen strongly believes Goodell did the right thing implemen~ the new policy. He applau Goodell for his stance. "I absolutely do," Bowlen saJd Thesday rught before he was mducted mto the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame. "I thin(( he took a tou~h stand and I think he had to.' So does Foxworth. "I definitely think that people should be rewarded for not only what they do on the field, but the way.they carry themselves off the field," Foxworth said.

"The criminal courts are not there to make victims more comfortable - they are there to do JUstice to the accused." said Martm Pinales, president of the National Association of Crimmal Defense Lawyers. .

After three days of celebri. ty meetings and TV guest appearances, the weary Johnson shot an up-anddown 70 at Harbour Town Golf Lmks. He was seven shots behind Jerry Kelly, the first -round leader at 8-onder 63. Ernie Els was second at 65. Sttll, Johnso n's sm1le rarely left dunng hts rnornmg round, even as made two bogeys and a four-putt double bogey Crowds applauded hts every move, Johnson gratefully acknowledgmg the praise, yet eager to get the focus back on his course work. "I didn't come here just to show up. I'm gomg to try and wm. I'm going to play my ball and I'm going to play hard," Johnson said. "It felt good to start competing again. That's my business life." Business got dramattcally better last week when the 31year-old Iowan outlasted the field at difficult Augusta National to beat Tiger Woods, Rory Sabbatini and Relief Goosen by two strokes. Since then, Johnson has appeared with David Letterman, mel presidential candtdate Barack Obarna and gotten congratulatory calls from a fellow Regts Htgh alum, former NFL MVP Kurt Warner. And the adulatton dtdn't stop at Harbour Town. Johnson was greeted wtth cheers at nearly every green. "Nice Masters," a teen fan shouted Johnson, grinning, flashed a surfer's "hang 10" sign back As he was surrounded by TV cameras after the round, pro Btlly Andrade waved at h1m With congratulations. "Thanks, buddy," Johnson said. Johnson says he's done hts best the past 72 hours to remain the same, humble, unassuming family man from Cedar Rapids. Most Masters winners don't usually make the drive to South Carolina's coast for thts week's stop. Vijay Smgh in 2000 was the last to try and pair Harbour Town's tartan winner's coat wtth the green jacket. Johnson started quickly w1th a birdie on his first hole, the 1Oth. By the time he rolled in a birdie on the par-5 second, Johnson was 3 under and hot on Kelly 's heels That's when Johnson's whrrlwind week took tts toll. Johnson's approach on the thrrd hole dnbbled off the back, leading to a bogey. He three-putted from 65 feet on the par-3 fourth hole for a second straight bogey. After a crowd-pleasing eagle on the par-5 fifth, Johnson blew up on No. 6, four-putting from 35 feet for a double-bogey 6. Kelly, three shots behind Johnson last week, threatened to steal the Harbour Town spothght from the new · Masters champ. When Kelly knocked in a 4-foot birdie putt on his 15th hole, No. 6, he stood 9-under par with an outstde shot to break 60. The run ended two holes later after Kelly put his approach into a bunker and could not save par. Johnson's visit here was a shot in the arm to a tournament minus major draws such as Woods and Phil Mickelson. Jim Furyk, No. 2 ip the world, heads a field that mcludes just three of the world's top l 0 players. For Johnson that means "about 17 hours" of sleep before Friday afternoon's tee time. Then back to the place he feels most comfortable the golf course. Divots: Daniel Chopra w¥ disqualified for taking an illegal drop on the 17th hole. ...

In the Duke case, virtually all maJor niedia outlets declined to identify the accuser as the saga unfolded But that unanimity broke down Wednesday when North Carolina's attorney general dtsmtssed all remaining criminal charges against the three lacrosse players and declared them mnocent. The Charlotte Observer and The News & Observer of Raleigh swiftly posted articles online wtth the woman's name and photograph. The New York Post carried the woman's photo on its front page Thursday, wtth the tabloid headline, "The Duke Liar." But other major media outlets, including The Assoc1ated Press and The New York Times, opted to contmue Withholding the name of the woman, a 28year-old smgle mother of three who has worked a stripper, attended college and , m 1996 filed a rape complaint that never led to charges The AP's managing editor, Mike Silverman, said the ~ecision to con\inue protectmg the woman s anonymny was reached after consider"able discussion in the newsroom. "UIIlmately, we didn 't see a compelling reason to reverse our practice.'' Silverman said. He satd AP was ccrntinuing to try llj> talk to the woman and report the story and would rev1ew the dec1sion further if developrnents warrant. He also said the AP, perhaps m concert with other media organizations, would re-examine the anonymity "· -· ' ------ Webs1tes· www.myda1lytnbune.com www.mydallysentlnel com www myda1tyreg1ster com l\egister (304) 675-1333 675-5234 ~--------------------~ Oearllfirec Word Ads Monday thru Friday 8:00a.m. to 5:00 p.m. \ \ \ !

Melanie Stll, execultve editor of The News & Observer, said her paper also would review its pohcy. "It's worth takmg a fresh look at, although J can't say we'll come down in different place," Sill said. Some states have passed laws maktng it illegal to report the name of a sexual assault victim , but those laws have been struck down when challenged, and the practice of withholding victims' names is, in effect, an optional courtesy extended by the media. The practice has been undermined somewhat in the Internet age as accusers' names are spread onhne even while tradtttonal media withhold them. Joshua Marquis, the distnct attorney in AMona, Ore., and a vice prestdent of the National Distnct Attorneys Assoctatton, said prosecutors do not set out to keep the names of adult crime victims secret, but he commended the media for tis voluntary policy. "It's essentially selfrestramt," he satd. "There is sttll enormous stigma to bemg the VICtim of a sexual assault." Ktm Gandy, a former , prosecutor and now prestdent of the Nattonal Organization for Women said she hoped the rned1a would not change its practice because of the Duke case: •"The purpose is not only to protect the person making the cnrnmal complaint tt's to offer some sense of proteclton for any woman who might need to do so itt the future," she said. "Once one woman is exposed, regardless of the reason, it has a thilling effect for every other woman."

Although the accuser has now been wtdely 1denttfied - on · the Internet, in the maJor newspapers servmg the Raleigh-Durham area in North Carolina, and elsewhere - advocates for sexual-assault vtctims hope and expect the media to continue its voluntary, long-standing practice of not reporting the names of alleged victims who prefer anonymity. "The Duke case ts such an aberratton," satd Scott Berkowttz, board president of the Rape, Abuse and Incest Nattonal Network. "After there was a thorough mvesttgatmn and a conclusion that no cnme took place, the acc user stops being a victim and it's perfectly appropriate to identify her," he said "But I'd hope the press doesn · t rush to change their overall policy on this - that could have the short- term effect of discouragitlg certain VICilms from coming forward " Karen Pomer. an acuvist m California on behalf of victims since her own rape at gunpoint in 1995, smd tl remained daunting epough for victims to report an assault without the added factor of, knowing they might be publtcly 1denttfied.

Today is Friday the 13th - consi dered unlucky by some. But it will prove to be unlucky for very few of them. if any. Sometimes we gel unlucky at the bridge table - all hnesses lose, for e ~~:ample. Bul occasionally we e~d a deal saying to ourselves that it was unlucky. when either we misplayed or an opponent did something particularly clever. ln the litst instance, we must try to learn from the experience and not make the same mistake again. In the second, we should congratulate our opponent. In this deal, take the West cards. Defending against two spades. you lead the heart queen: six. eight, \wo. What would you do now? Suppose you conlinue with Ihe heart1 0: seven, three. five. What would you do next? · Note that North's two-spade rebid shows only two -card support. ·With three spades, he would have 'raised one spade to two spades on the previous round. There Is a natural temptation to lead a . third heart, hoping East began with onl y three . That. though, would be fatal against a capable declarer with this layout. He would ruff and immedialely play three rounds of clubs. The defenders oould take two diamond tricks and play a third round, but South would ruff. trump his las! club with dummy's spade 10, and draw trumps. You have a counter if you anticipate the dub ruff - and your slrong club holding Is an Indication of dedarer's likely plan. At tricK three (or two), shift to a trump. Then, when you get in on the thifd round of clubs, you can lead another trump to kill both declarer's club ruff and his con· tract. . BIG NATE 6:30pm 1 noon !!

Today is Friday the 13th - consi dered unlucky by some. But it will prove to be unlucky for very few of them. if any. Sometimes we gel unlucky at the bridge table - all hnesses lose, for e ~~:ample. Bul occasionally we e~d a deal saying to ourselves that it was unlucky. when either we misplayed or an opponent did something particularly clever. ln the litst instance, we must try to learn from the experience and not make the same mistake again. In the second, we should congratulate our opponent. In this deal, take the West cards. Defending against two spades. you lead the heart queen: six. eight, \wo. What would you do now? Suppose you conlinue with Ihe heart1 0: seven, three. five. What would you do next? · Note that North's two-spade rebid shows only two -card support. ·With three spades, he would have 'raised one spade to two spades on the previous round. There Is a natural temptation to lead a . third heart, hoping East began with onl y three . That. though, would be fatal against a capable declarer with this layout. He would ruff and immedialely play three rounds of clubs. The defenders oould take two diamond tricks and play a third round, but South would ruff. trump his las! club with dummy's spade 10, and draw trumps. You have a counter if you anticipate the dub ruff - and your slrong club holding Is an Indication of dedarer's likely plan. At tricK three (or two), shift to a trump. Then, when you get in on the thifd round of clubs, you can lead another trump to kill both declarer's club ruff and his con· tract. . BIG NATE 6:30pm 1 noon !!

"We're just not doing the job," he said. "The teams aren't doing the job.

The Johhsons pledged $600,000, of which $425.000 has already been raised Work ethic isn't the problem. Now is a time when Reutimann and his team must avoid the urge to panic. "You end up trying to work smarter and not harder," he said. "That's what you want to end up happening. So much has been just getting to the race track; get cars built and get to the race track . ... You get a car done, you get it out and you go racing. There's not time to develop it whenever you're trying to get cars built. I hope with the week off, our guys won't have any time off, but I hope they'll be able to get more caught up with some of the things we've put in place to do better. Hopefully some results ivill be obvious at Texas next week." The problem is general, not sp~cif­ ic. Reutimann is 43rd in the points standings, which is understandable given that he has made the field for only four of the season's first six races. Waltrip has failed to qualify five races in a row. "I don't think it's any one thing that stands out," said·Reutimann. "It's just a bunch of small things that add up.

After the first two races with the Car of Tomorrow, the former design of choice. will be used this week at Texas Motor Speed- way. Reutimann hopes to turn the apparent disadvantage into a positive. "Driving is driving," he said. "I think it's good, in a way, that you have to switch back and forth , .one to the other, because it does take a different style to drive that thing (COT). It's almost like dirt to pavement or some· thing like that. "Adapting is difficuli in a way, but in another way, it's not. After eight or 10 laps, you're fine.
