Oxley corporate reform law passed by the U.S. Congress . in 2002. which established governance and accountability rules that companies nationwide must follow. There is also legislation currently before Congress that would give shareholders at public companies afonmal say in executives' compensation packages. But for the most part, Delaware still holds great sway over corporate . America's dealings and is often perceived by shareholder groups as having a bias toward business. That's troubling since corporate boards have a liduciary duty to put investors' interests first. "It was long believed that investors need to be protected and management was the best to do it," said Charles Elson, director of the Weinberg Center for Corporate Govell]ance at University of Delaware. "But now there is growing sentiment that investors don't need as much protection, and there is great caution about management agendas" after aJ I the corpo, rate scandals.

A long-ago gmduate of Rutgers - The State University, I'd watched some of the game, read about tthe slur, figured most New Jersey people had thicker skins than that. My freshman dorm was lil(e one of those World War II platoons in the movies mostly first-generation college kids from every ethnic group imaginable. Irish, Italian, Jewish, Greek, Polish, Russian; everything but Hispanics, of whom 'New Jersey had very few in those days. If tllere were few . blacks, there weren't many WASPs either. _ We used to sit up nights comparing the superstitions and foible~ of our i.mm,igrant parents and grandparents, secure in the belief, most of us, that Old Country tribalism was behind us forever. I recall being thrilled by the protagonist of New Jersey novelist Philip Roth's "Portnoy's Complaint," telling, his relatives to "Stick your suffering · tradition ' .. ." Well, somewhere very impolite: Ethnic insults are a New York/New Jersey artform. My brother used to have a routine where he'd outline . who did what on a New Jersey construction job Mexican laborers, ' Irish plumber, ·Polish roofer, Brazilian tloor men, Jewish lawyer, etc, He'd close in a loud stage whisper for his -- .- --- Italian partner's benefit something about not · doing business with "Guidos" at alL But African-American is an ethnicity people often don't let you resign from. And the Rutgers girls were just that: Young college kids, 19 or 20 most of them, and not public ligures such as · Hillary Clinton ("Satan" to the Imus gang), Dick Cheney ("war criminal") or AI Gore ("evil"). To me. everything that needed saying about the episode was contained in a letter to The New York Ttmes by Lisa Wilson, · a selfdescribed "white, prudish suburban woman" · from Yarmouth, Maine. "When .I saw the young women of Rutgers," she wrote, "I was shamed as I have never been shamed before. I suddenly saw my very ceal contribution to our racial divide. Indifference. I'd been willing to dismiss the denigration of AfricanAmericans and women because it's become cOmmon and because it suited me. And I learned the true meaning of ~ce and courage from those young women." · So should we all. As for Imus, satire's impossible without giving offense. These ritual banishments olliy provoke resentment. I'd bring him back, assuming he can find any sponsors.

Pacers fire Carlisle INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Now that Rick Carlisle is out as the coach of the Indiana Pacers, the team needs to figure out what is next. · fired Carlisle .. was Wednesday after a season in which the team failed to make the playoffs for the first time in a decade. The Pacers finished the season 35-47, their worst since 1988-89. Indiana was 29~ 24 shortly after the AllStar break, but lost its next II games to .fall out of the top eight in the Eastern Conference. Carlisle said he enjoyed his four-year run with the team and understood that it was time for the Pacers to hear a "new voice." With tl)e first major postseason move out of the way, team · president Larry Bird said anything is possible - · and the new coach might have to adjust · "We don't know the direction," he said.

"He held down the fort for them in the first half," Wizards forward Jarvi s Hayes said. "And at the end LeBron did." The Wizards made it interesti ng in the final minute. They kept pecking away at Cleveland's lead and capitalized qn a few missed free throws and an ill-advised pass by Eric Snow to close within 105-102 on a 3-pointer by Hayes with 18 ·seconds left. Larry Hughes then made four free throws as Cleveland closed it out. James , who twisted hi s ankle in Game I. still managed put up roughly his Statistical averages from th e regular season. And when the Wizards trimmed a 15- point deficit in the fourth quaner to -six, James took control. He scored 13 points in the final per\od, including nine in the final 5:14. But other ihan a ·nvo-)landed dunk in the first half and couple of powerful excursions toward the hoop, James seemed to take · it easy on an ankle he said is still sore. "We thought we had a chance to win, but LeBron made a lot of great plays.'' Wizards cen ter Brendan· Haywood said. "He showed why he's one of the best players1in the league." Once again , Antawn Jamison had to do it alone for the Wizards, who are without injured All-Stars Gilbert Arenas and Caron Butler. Jami son · had 31 points but Antonio Daniels (II) was the only other Washington starter in double figures . "We'r~ making steps," Hayes said. "We just need to keep the train rolling." Hughes had 19 points and Zydrunas llgauskas added 16 for the Cavs, who have only been up 2-0 in a series one other time in their 37year history. . Before the game, James said he still had pain in his ankle but he didn't expect to have any trouble playing on it. He gave Cleveland fans a few· moments of concern when he didn 't immediately come out with his teammates for pregame warmups. But moments later, he burst onto the floor and began testing his injuty with some strong moves. Once the game began, he wasn't as assertive as normal, and the Wizards took advantage, opening a 43-36 lead on,a basket by Jamison. Gooden then brought the Cavs back by himself after he got an icy stare from James, who was mad.at him for not finishing on a pas ~ underneath.. Gooden scored 15 points ~ and Cleveland's final II ~ in the last 5:45 of the second quarter, hitting six strai ght contested ju!flpers and scoring two· three-point plays as the Cavs took a 5148 halftime lead. " I kind of got on him," James said of his glare at Gooden. "I wanted him to be aggressive. After I got on him, he carried us." After dropping a 19-footer and getting fouled with 28.5 seconds left, Gooden screamed, made his "rain" gesture and bumped chests with James as the sellout crowd serenaded Cleveland's No. 90 with a ch.orus of "Druuuuu." "Sometimes the basket is as big as the ocean," he said. 'Tonight, was my night." · PLAY COVERALL BINGO . . WIN UP TO $1,000 !!! Employees, Independent Contractors.

Notebook Perhaps the best of the bunch, he was a locker room headache last season. The track record of blown ptcks have gnawed at the most dte-hard Cleveland fans, a few of whom recently approached general manager Phtl Savage at a charity event and warned him that he had better get thts one right "One of them said tf we dtdn't draft Brady Quinn, they were gomg to drop thetr tickets," Savage said. Tough town Tough ptck, too. Stttmg thtrd, the Browns will undoubtedly get a qualay player among the top ftve prospects - Quinn, JaMarcus Russell, Calvm Johnson, Adnan Peterson and Joe Thomas- they are constdenng But the question ts, wtll it be the one they REALLY want? Most draft experts have the Browns takmg Quinn, Notre Dame's golden quarterback who was once constdered the sure top ptck.

Savage, who has stated he's open to movmg down in the first round, has sent out mtxed stgnals about the club's mterest m the 6-foot3, 230-pound Qumn. The btggest knock on htm was a 2-8 record m bowl games and against rivals Mtchtgan and Southern California Savage, though, thmks the criticiSm is unfatr. "I went to the USC-Notre Dame game m '05, and if you don't get the Reggie Bush push, maybe that's Brady Qumn's signature moment, beating the Trojans," he satd. Before they settle on selectmg a QB, the Browns have to dectde tf they're willing to go through the growmg pams that usually come wtth breaking in a young stgnal-caller Truth be told, they don't have lime. With a brutal early schedule next season - they'll play AFC North opponents Pittsburgh, Cmcinnati and Baltimore before Week 4the Browns need to wm out of the gate or else Crennel could be m btgger trouble than he's already m. Cleveland hasn't been able to sort out a JUmbled mess at quarterback smce its '99 return. Couch was replaced by Kelly Holcomb, who was replaced by Jeff Garcta, who was replaced by Trent Dilfer, who was replaced by Charhe Frye Another change could drive restless Browns fans over the edge. "Quarterback IS a hot-button issue m this town for sure," satd Savage, beginning hts thtrd season with Cleveland. "We'll see how 11 plays out, but I can't worry about what someone else thtnks. We'll have to wan and see ho\" it turns out when someone gets on the field " Unless the Browns are certain Quinn IS ready to move under center tmmediately, taking him appears to be a huge roll of the dtce. A safer alternative would be Peterson, Oklahoma's electnfymg running back who along with Jami!l Lew,ts, would ~1ve the Browns a 1-2 rushmg punch unlike any team m their dtvtston.

Then I'm gonna put pins into all the locations that I've traveled to. But first. I'm gonna have to travel to the top two corners of the map so it won't fal down.· lr't _ yesterday's deal, declarer did not have to peek around corners. He merely had to count to i 3. In this deal, he also does not require mirrors; he needS to think in a straight line. Firs\ though, look only at tho North hand. Your nght·hand opponent opens one club, you make a takeout double, · lefty passes, your partner-advances with one spade, and rlghty ·passes. What · would you rebid? Dnca you have decided. move into the South seat. You are in four spades. West lakes three diamond trici<s, then shifts to a club. How would. you continue from there? South's one-spade bid shows Q-B high· . card points. So, North should not jump to lour spades, wtlich oould be a hopeless contract. He should rebid three spades, very strongly Inviting game. (Even a twospade raise promises 17 or 18 points.) Then South. who might have had no points at ail (a Yarborough), should go on to game. You must play the trump suit without loss. But you have only one ha"nd entry - the heart ace. In this situation, lead the lowest trump in your hand that can win the trick H the finesse works. So, after playing a heart to your .ace, lead the spade nine. When that holds, COJ1Iinue wilh the spade jack. Than play a spade to dummy's queen, cash the spade ace, and claim.
