Tlje legi slation, passed 218-203, was largely a sym· bolic p b at Bu sh, "(ho already has be~ u·n reducing force le vels b• opposes a congressionally mandated timetable on the war. And while the measure .was unlikely to pass in the Senate - let alone overcome a presidential veto - Democrats said they wanted voters to know they weren ' t giving up. "The tact is, we can no longer sustili n the military deployment in Iraq." said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi , 0-Calif. "Staying there in the manner that we are there is no longer an option ." The White House pledged to veto the bill, and Republicans said they would back the president. "These votes, like the dozens of previous failed votes, put the interests of rad· ical interest groups ahead of the needs of our military and their mission," an adminis· !ration statement said. The bill represents about a quaner of the $196 billion Bush requested for combat ·operations in the 2008 budget year, which began Oct I. It would compel an unspecified number of troops to leave Iraq within 30 days, a requirement Bush is already on track to meet as he begins in coming weeks to reverse the 30,000 troop buildup he ordered earlier this year. It al so sets a goal of ending combat by Dec. 15. 2008, and states that money included in the bill should be used to rede· ploy troops and "not to extend or prolong the war." The measure also would set government-wide standards on interrogation, · effectively barring the CIA from using such harsh tech· niques as waterboarding, which simulates drowning. The bill was on shaky ground this week, after some ·]iberal Democrats said they were concerned it was too soft and would not force Bush to end the war. Conservative Democrat's said they thought it went too far and would tie the hands of military commanders. The bill's prospects brightened somewhat after three leading anti-war Democrats announced they would support it. California Reps. Lynn Woolsey, Barbara Lee and Maxine Waters said they had agreed to swing behind it because ·the bill explicitly states the money should he used .to bring troops home . But still uncertain the bill would pass . Pelosi on Wednesday delayed a vote by several hours while she met with supporters and asked them to help her round up votes. Fifteen Democrats broke ranks and joined 188 Republicans in opposing the measure. Four Republicans joined 214 Democrats in supporting it. Republicans fought bitter· ly against the timetable in the bill , as well as the restrictions on interrogations. Rep. John Boehner, R-Ohio, his party's leader, said the bill would lead to "nothing other than failure." Hours before the scheduled vote. the White House dis· patched Defense Secretary Raben Gates and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to Capitol Hill to brief lawmak· ers on Iraq. · In one closed-door meet· ing, Gates urged a group of senators not to support the bill. He said, the same lawmakers who criticized Pentagon civilians for previ· ously ignoring the advice of its uniformed generals were asking him to ignore them now, according to an official who attended the meeting. The · official requested anonymity because the meeting was private. Similar legislation has passed repeatedly along party lines in the House only to sink in the Senate, where Democrats hold a razor-thin majority ·and 60 votes· are needed to over· come procedural hurdles. It is expected that if the measure fails in the Senate, Democrats will not consider Bush's war spending request until nex! year. Democrats say the military won't need the money until then and the Pentagon , can transfer money from less urgent accounts or from spending set aside for the last three months of this year. The Pentagon says mov· iQg money around is a bureaucratic nightmare that costs more in the long run. And if taken to the extreme, the military would eventual· ly have to freeze contracts or lay off civilian workers to ensure troops in combat have what they need. In another provision that drew White House opposi· tion, the House bill would require that all ,government interrogators rely on the Army Field Manual. The manual is based on Geneva · ·convention standards and was updated in 2006 io specifically prohibit the mil· itary from using aggressive interrog':uion techniques, such as waterboarding. The White House said in its statement that the Geneva Conventions shouldn't apply to "cap· lured terrorists who openly flout that law." The bill also would require the president to cer· tify to Congress 15 days in advance that a unit being sent into combat is "fully mission capable," although Bush could waive that requirement if necessary.

Tlje legi slation, passed 218-203, was largely a sym· bolic p b at Bu sh, "(ho already has be~ u·n reducing force le vels b• opposes a congressionally mandated timetable on the war. And while the measure .was unlikely to pass in the Senate - let alone overcome a presidential veto - Democrats said they wanted voters to know they weren ' t giving up. "The tact is, we can no longer sustili n the military deployment in Iraq." said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi , 0-Calif. "Staying there in the manner that we are there is no longer an option ." The White House pledged to veto the bill, and Republicans said they would back the president. "These votes, like the dozens of previous failed votes, put the interests of rad· ical interest groups ahead of the needs of our military and their mission," an adminis· !ration statement said. The bill represents about a quaner of the $196 billion Bush requested for combat ·operations in the 2008 budget year, which began Oct I. It would compel an unspecified number of troops to leave Iraq within 30 days, a requirement Bush is already on track to meet as he begins in coming weeks to reverse the 30,000 troop buildup he ordered earlier this year. It al so sets a goal of ending combat by Dec. 15. 2008, and states that money included in the bill should be used to rede· ploy troops and "not to extend or prolong the war." The measure also would set government-wide standards on interrogation, · effectively barring the CIA from using such harsh tech· niques as waterboarding, which simulates drowning. The bill was on shaky ground this week, after some ·]iberal Democrats said they were concerned it was too soft and would not force Bush to end the war. Conservative Democrat's said they thought it went too far and would tie the hands of military commanders. The bill's prospects brightened somewhat after three leading anti-war Democrats announced they would support it. California Reps. Lynn Woolsey, Barbara Lee and Maxine Waters said they had agreed to swing behind it because ·the bill explicitly states the money should he used .to bring troops home . But still uncertain the bill would pass . Pelosi on Wednesday delayed a vote by several hours while she met with supporters and asked them to help her round up votes. Fifteen Democrats broke ranks and joined 188 Republicans in opposing the measure. Four Republicans joined 214 Democrats in supporting it. Republicans fought bitter· ly against the timetable in the bill , as well as the restrictions on interrogations. Rep. John Boehner, R-Ohio, his party's leader, said the bill would lead to "nothing other than failure." Hours before the scheduled vote. the White House dis· patched Defense Secretary Raben Gates and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to Capitol Hill to brief lawmak· ers on Iraq. · In one closed-door meet· ing, Gates urged a group of senators not to support the bill. He said, the same lawmakers who criticized Pentagon civilians for previ· ously ignoring the advice of its uniformed generals were asking him to ignore them now, according to an official who attended the meeting. The · official requested anonymity because the meeting was private. Similar legislation has passed repeatedly along party lines in the House only to sink in the Senate, where Democrats hold a razor-thin majority ·and 60 votes· are needed to over· come procedural hurdles. It is expected that if the measure fails in the Senate, Democrats will not consider Bush's war spending request until nex! year. Democrats say the military won't need the money until then and the Pentagon , can transfer money from less urgent accounts or from spending set aside for the last three months of this year. The Pentagon says mov· iQg money around is a bureaucratic nightmare that costs more in the long run. And if taken to the extreme, the military would eventual· ly have to freeze contracts or lay off civilian workers to ensure troops in combat have what they need. In another provision that drew White House opposi· tion, the House bill would require that all ,government interrogators rely on the Army Field Manual. The manual is based on Geneva · ·convention standards and was updated in 2006 io specifically prohibit the mil· itary from using aggressive interrog':uion techniques, such as waterboarding. The White House said in its statement that the Geneva Conventions shouldn't apply to "cap· lured terrorists who openly flout that law." The bill also would require the president to cer· tify to Congress 15 days in advance that a unit being sent into combat is "fully mission capable," although Bush could waive that requirement if necessary.

This man has no interest in me other than for sex. Every conversation includes a mention of sex. If I ask him to do something, his response is, "What are you going to do for me?" He has told me he has no interest in my day or what I think. He regularly makes demeaning comments about my roles as wife, mother and teacher. My advice to "Doing My Best" would be to back off.

Shaffer, o( Point Pleasant, reportedly hao just left his job at Little Caesars Tuesday night and was waiting for a friend near the Mason County Courthouse annex building when he suddenly collapsed. Around 9:45 p.m., Patrolman Jason Gilley of the Point Pleasant Police Department was on a rou~ tine patrol when he was waved down by the friend , who had just arrived and found Shaffer, according to Chief Ernie Watterson . When Gilley arrived, he - found Shaffer lying headfirst against the building on · the parking lot side. Watterson said Gilley checked Shaffer for a pulse, called for assistance and proceeded to adm(nister CPR. He and Point Pleasant Fire Chief Jeremy Bryant, who arrived after the call, continued to . perform CPR until members of the Mason County Emergency Medical Services arrived. He said once EMS arrived on the scene, Gilley began his investigation. Shaffer was taken to Pleasant Valley' Hospital, where he later died, Watterson said. His body was taken to the West Virginia State Medical Examiner's office in Charleston for an autopsy. "At this time, there ts no evidence of criminal activity," Watterson said . "We found no trauma to the body." He said Gilley was assisted at the scene by Capt. Joe Veith and Lt. Shawn Ross, both of the Point Pleasant Police Department, Cpl.

Agency ' The Tribute Quartet FAMILY MEDICINE Reader and friends may need different colon tests Question: A while · ago you wrote about following advice your doctor 's regarding screening tests for colon cancer, Which tests are best? My friend says a colonoscopy is the real test, but my doctor says I don't need one. What are the recomm endations for .colon cancer screening? Answer: As with many things in medicine, there are several ways to screen for .colon cancer. The test that is recommended by , your physician is based on your . personal risk for developing colon cancer. The primary risk 'factor associated with 1he development of colon cancer is a family history of the disease. Also, a personal histo.ry of ul cerative colitis or colon polyps increases. your risk. People who eat a highfat , low-fiber-diet and those who are overweight are also at increased risk for colon cancer. Age is also a very important factor in overall colmi cancer risk. Although colon cancer does sometimes strike at younger ages, about 90 percent of all cases are in people over 50. If you are at average risk, which means you have none . of the above Iisted risk factors, it is acceptable to use simpler and less expensive tests. I assume your doctor placed you in this average risk category. In cases like this, I usually recommend that the patient be screened using the fecal occult blood test and a flexible sigmoidoscopy. A digital rectal examine is a)so a good idea. All three tests should be completed annually starting at age 40. The fecal occult blood test is performed on stool samples to see if small amounts of blood- not readily visible - are present. Generally, this is done on three separate stool samples. The doctor gives you a special card to . take home_ You then collect the specimen, place it on the card, seal it up and return the card to the doctor. If any of the three specimens are positive for occult · (hidden) blood, you need a colonoscopy. If all are negative, a flexible sigmoi,doscopy should be done. Flexible sigmoidoscopy is like colonoscopy with a shoner tube. Research shows that more than 50 percent of colon cancers are within reach of the sigmoidoscope. This test can be done in a physician's office rather than the. hospital out -patient setting needed for a colonoscopy. Also, you generally do not need to be sedated for this procedure , whereas with a colonoscopy, the use of sedating drugs is standard practice. Most doctors recommend a screening colonoscopy for people over 50 who are of :f. {5heua/iu Fiscal Officer Chester Township average risk. During a colon.;>scopy your doctor. can examine the entire colon. Any, polyps that are discovered can be removed at the time of the exam. If there are no polyps present and the colon is otherwise normal , your doctor will probably recommend a repeat in seven to 10 years. A newer test that is gaining in popularity is the virtual colono~copy. This is aC-T X-ray of the colon. This can be a very good test, btit it cannot find small polyps and it cannot remove polyps. If polyps are found during a virtual colonoscopy, you will still need a regular colonoscopy to remove them. It is-good that you are so interested in these screening procedures that you are discussing them with friends and relatives. You and your friends should work with your individual doctors to determine which screening test is best. The answer for each one of you may be different. Family Medicine ® is a weekly column.

Shaffer, o( Point Pleasant, reportedly hao just left his job at Little Caesars Tuesday night and was waiting for a friend near the Mason County Courthouse annex building when he suddenly collapsed. Around 9:45 p.m., Patrolman Jason Gilley of the Point Pleasant Police Department was on a rou~ tine patrol when he was waved down by the friend , who had just arrived and found Shaffer, according to Chief Ernie Watterson . When Gilley arrived, he - found Shaffer lying headfirst against the building on · the parking lot side. Watterson said Gilley checked Shaffer for a pulse, called for assistance and proceeded to adm(nister CPR. He and Point Pleasant Fire Chief Jeremy Bryant, who arrived after the call, continued to . perform CPR until members of the Mason County Emergency Medical Services arrived. He said once EMS arrived on the scene, Gilley began his investigation. Shaffer was taken to Pleasant Valley' Hospital, where he later died, Watterson said. His body was taken to the West Virginia State Medical Examiner's office in Charleston for an autopsy. "At this time, there ts no evidence of criminal activity," Watterson said . "We found no trauma to the body." He said Gilley was assisted at the scene by Capt. Joe Veith and Lt. Shawn Ross, both of the Point Pleasant Police Department, Cpl.

Agency ' The Tribute Quartet FAMILY MEDICINE Reader and friends may need different colon tests Question: A while · ago you wrote about following advice your doctor 's regarding screening tests for colon cancer, Which tests are best? My friend says a colonoscopy is the real test, but my doctor says I don't need one. What are the recomm endations for .colon cancer screening? Answer: As with many things in medicine, there are several ways to screen for .colon cancer. The test that is recommended by , your physician is based on your . personal risk for developing colon cancer. The primary risk 'factor associated with 1he development of colon cancer is a family history of the disease. Also, a personal histo.ry of ul cerative colitis or colon polyps increases. your risk. People who eat a highfat , low-fiber-diet and those who are overweight are also at increased risk for colon cancer. Age is also a very important factor in overall colmi cancer risk. Although colon cancer does sometimes strike at younger ages, about 90 percent of all cases are in people over 50. If you are at average risk, which means you have none . of the above Iisted risk factors, it is acceptable to use simpler and less expensive tests. I assume your doctor placed you in this average risk category. In cases like this, I usually recommend that the patient be screened using the fecal occult blood test and a flexible sigmoidoscopy. A digital rectal examine is a)so a good idea. All three tests should be completed annually starting at age 40. The fecal occult blood test is performed on stool samples to see if small amounts of blood- not readily visible - are present. Generally, this is done on three separate stool samples. The doctor gives you a special card to . take home_ You then collect the specimen, place it on the card, seal it up and return the card to the doctor. If any of the three specimens are positive for occult · (hidden) blood, you need a colonoscopy. If all are negative, a flexible sigmoi,doscopy should be done. Flexible sigmoidoscopy is like colonoscopy with a shoner tube. Research shows that more than 50 percent of colon cancers are within reach of the sigmoidoscope. This test can be done in a physician's office rather than the. hospital out -patient setting needed for a colonoscopy. Also, you generally do not need to be sedated for this procedure , whereas with a colonoscopy, the use of sedating drugs is standard practice. Most doctors recommend a screening colonoscopy for people over 50 who are of :f. {5heua/iu Fiscal Officer Chester Township average risk. During a colon.;>scopy your doctor. can examine the entire colon. Any, polyps that are discovered can be removed at the time of the exam. If there are no polyps present and the colon is otherwise normal , your doctor will probably recommend a repeat in seven to 10 years. A newer test that is gaining in popularity is the virtual colono~copy. This is aC-T X-ray of the colon. This can be a very good test, btit it cannot find small polyps and it cannot remove polyps. If polyps are found during a virtual colonoscopy, you will still need a regular colonoscopy to remove them. It is-good that you are so interested in these screening procedures that you are discussing them with friends and relatives. You and your friends should work with your individual doctors to determine which screening test is best. The answer for each one of you may be different. Family Medicine ® is a weekly column.

But as he approached the basket, James was wrapped up from the side by a helping Turkoglu, who had been called for a critical threeshot foul against James with 2.4 seconds left in regulation. Orlando's forward got his hands on the ball but also appeared to make contact with James' forearms.

"Every year around this time, I'm reminded of that," he said this week while visiting Ohio State's . practice facility. "I · don't get it the other 364 days a year.

They were ,I - - loaded with talent, with massive offensive tackle Orlando Pace paving the way for George and quarterback Bobby Hoying, who had an array of top receivers including Terry Glenn. On defense, Ohio State had current New England Patriots standout Mike Vrabel at end. with lockdown cornerback Shawn Springs the headliner in the secondary. Meanwhile, the Wolverines had suffered through a long, hard sfog of a season under a rookie coach named Lloyd Carr. They won their first five games to rise·to No. 8 in the rankinj!s. but then lost three of the1r first six in conference play to come into their game against the Buckeyes at 8-3. "All we had to do was go in and beat Michigan, a team that underachieved most of the year," George said. "They were talented but lost some key games. They had nothing to play for, other than to play the spoiler." But in this rivalry, that's enough, In the span of 3 hours on a crisp afternoon in Ann Arbor, all that the Buckeyes had put together was. torn down. The pregame foc us had been on George's bid for the Heisman. But. an overlooked back with an almost unpronounceable name - even Carr · called him "Touchdown Tim" - stole the whole show.

Following a timeout, James, who finished with 39 points, 14 assists and 13 rebounds, took the in bounds pass at the top of the key and quickly drove past Keith Bogans. But as he approached the basket, James was wrapped up from the side by a helping Turkoglu, who had been called for a critical threeshot foul against James with 2.4 seconds left in regulation. Orlando's forward got his hands on the ball but also appeared to make contact with James' forearms. Referee LeonWood, though, signaled for a jump ball, and as Cleveland fans booed loudly, James walked around with a puzzled look on his face. "I got there early enough to help Boges.

After skipping the game in Phoenix the previous night, Marbury flew from New York to Los Angeles to join lhe Knicks for their Wednesday night game againsl the Clippers. "We had a conversation, and any conversations that we have within our learn, we'll lry to keep those as private and in-house matlers,'' New York coach Isiah Thomas said. He said Marbury would not start, but would play. Asked if he's salisfied everything is smoothed over, Thomas didn ' I answer directly but said: "I'm satisfied that I believe he's.capable of leading this team and he's capable of playing great defense.

I'm here _lo play basketball, and I'm just going to concentrate on that. "I'm going to leave it internal, like lsiah said, and I will respect if everyone can just respect that. That's it. That's all I really have to say about this." · Asked if he had apolO: gized to his teammates, Marbury said, "I ,Plan to just Jell them that this is something that has to do with · lsiah and myself." · The Knicks' Zach Randolph, who had been given time off after his grandmother died, · also rejoined the team, although Magic. he plans to return to Indiana for the funeral later this week, "I jusl wanted to be here for my team," Randolph said. He said of the team turmoil, "Stephan and coach got this situation going on, but they're going Jo work it out" Although Cleveland star LeBron James, said he doesn't know Marbury, he was critical of his just taking off from the Knicks. "I couldn' t have a guy like that on my team,'' James said, before the Cavaliers' game with visit-' ing Orlando. Earlier Wednesday, the Knicks fined Marbury more than $180,000 for missing the Suns game, the latest clash between the disgruntle.d point guard and Thomas. The Knicks sent Marbury a letter informing him of the ftne, according to a person with knowledge of the penalty who spoke to The Associated Press on Wednesday. · He reques~ed anonymity because he wasn' t authorized to discuss it The Knicks would not confirm the fine. According to Jhe NBA's collective bargaining agreement, players are docked 11110th of their salaries for a missed game. without a reasonable excuse. With MiJfbury scheduled lo earn $20.1 million this season, that would be. about $182,800. Thomas brought Marbury back to his hometown in a trade with the Suns on Jan. 5, 2004, and the two enjoyed a close relationship while Thomas was solely the 'team president. Things changed when he also took on the job of coach before last season. They clashed early last year after Thomas benched hiin in the second halves of two games, though they patched things up and Marbury played well the second half of the season. with 13 seconds le , in the extra session to put lhe Cavs ahead 116-115.

Matsuzaka may have to miss Boston's Tokyo trip BOSTON (AP) - The Boston Red Sox will open the 2008 season in Tokyo, and the World Series champions could be leaving Japan's biggest baseball star behind. Pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka might miss Boston's March 25-26 series Oakland against the Athletics at the Tokyo Dome because his wife is expecling to deliver lheir second baby around that time. Red Sox president Larry Lucchino said the team and the commissioner's office were aware of the potential conflict "We're hopeful that lheir second child will be born at such a time to allow him to participate;" Lucchino said Wednesday in a conference call. "We are hopeful , but we do recognize that he has an important obligation with respect io ihe 6irth of that child." Matsuzaka's first child was born in Japan. It's not clear whether the Matsuzakas plan to deliver in Japan or the United States this time.

BY JoE KAY f' Lama ' The Daily Sentinel • Page 83 LOS ANGELES (AP) Slephon Marbury grinned as he made his way down the hall to the New York Knicks' locker room, back in the fold but out some $182,000 because of a fine. After skipping the game in Phoenix the previous night, Marbury flew from New York to Los Angeles to join lhe Knicks for their Wednesday night game againsl the Clippers. "We had a conversation, and any conversations that we have within our learn, we'll lry to keep those as private and in-house matlers,'' New York coach Isiah Thomas said. He said Marbury would not start, but would play. Asked if he's salisfied everything is smoothed over, Thomas didn ' I answer directly but said: "I'm satisfied that I believe he's.capable of leading this team and he's capable of playing great defense.

I'm here _lo play basketball, and I'm just going to concentrate on that. "I'm going to leave it internal, like lsiah said, and I will respect if everyone can just respect that. That's it. That's all I really have to say about this." · Asked if he had apolO: gized to his teammates, Marbury said, "I ,Plan to just Jell them that this is something that has to do with · lsiah and myself." · The Knicks' Zach Randolph, who had been given time off after his grandmother died, · also rejoined the team, although Magic. he plans to return to Indiana for the funeral later this week, "I jusl wanted to be here for my team," Randolph said. He said of the team turmoil, "Stephan and coach got this situation going on, but they're going Jo work it out" Although Cleveland star LeBron James, said he doesn't know Marbury, he was critical of his just taking off from the Knicks. "I couldn' t have a guy like that on my team,'' James said, before the Cavaliers' game with visit-' ing Orlando. Earlier Wednesday, the Knicks fined Marbury more than $180,000 for missing the Suns game, the latest clash between the disgruntle.d point guard and Thomas. The Knicks sent Marbury a letter informing him of the ftne, according to a person with knowledge of the penalty who spoke to The Associated Press on Wednesday. · He reques~ed anonymity because he wasn' t authorized to discuss it The Knicks would not confirm the fine. According to Jhe NBA's collective bargaining agreement, players are docked 11110th of their salaries for a missed game. without a reasonable excuse. With MiJfbury scheduled lo earn $20.1 million this season, that would be. about $182,800. Thomas brought Marbury back to his hometown in a trade with the Suns on Jan. 5, 2004, and the two enjoyed a close relationship while Thomas was solely the 'team president. Things changed when he also took on the job of coach before last season. They clashed early last year after Thomas benched hiin in the second halves of two games, though they patched things up and Marbury played well the second half of the season. with 13 seconds le , in the extra session to put lhe Cavs ahead 116-115.

Matsuzaka may have to miss Boston's Tokyo trip BOSTON (AP) - The Boston Red Sox will open the 2008 season in Tokyo, and the World Series champions could be leaving Japan's biggest baseball star behind. Pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka might miss Boston's March 25-26 series Oakland against the Athletics at the Tokyo Dome because his wife is expecling to deliver lheir second baby around that time. Red Sox president Larry Lucchino said the team and the commissioner's office were aware of the potential conflict "We're hopeful that lheir second child will be born at such a time to allow him to participate;" Lucchino said Wednesday in a conference call. "We are hopeful , but we do recognize that he has an important obligation with respect io ihe 6irth of that child." Matsuzaka's first child was born in Japan. It's not clear whether the Matsuzakas plan to deliver in Japan or the United States this time. ' The Red Sox paid a'record $51.11 million for the rights to talk to Matsuzaka last offseason and another $52 million lo sign him for · six years, He went 15- 12 with a 4.40 ERA as a rookie, and after stumbling in his first two playoff starts he won hi s last lwo to help the Red Sox win their second World 1 Series in four seasons.

Williams, who was suspended in April 2006 after violating the league drug policy for the fourth time, was reinstated Wednesday by the NFL, and the winless Dolphins might welcome him back. Ricky Williams reinstated by NFL DAVIE, Fla. (AP) Ricky Williams' suspension ended after more than 18 months when he was reinstated Wednesday by the NFL, and the winless Miami Dolphins might welcome him back. The , 2002 league rushing champion was scheduled to fly to South Florida for a physical Thursday and meet with coach Cam Cameron, said Williams' agent, Leigh Steinberg. The first-year Miami coach, whose team is 0-9, said he talked with Williams by phone for "five or six minutes" Wednesday, but hadn't made a decision about activating him." "I. want to see where he is, and also let him know where we're headed, and we' 11 go . from there, "Tameron said. Cameron has been mum for months regarding whether he would want Williams back. But Steinberg said he ""as encouraged by a phone conversation Wednesday with Matt Thomas, Dolphins general counsel-football administration. "His indication was they were interested in Ricky," Steinberg said. "The spirit of the discussion was welcoming. It was a very similar discussion to what you would have regarding a draft choice or any returning player. The only contingent was whether they· would · have him practice Friday or Monday." The return of Williams would be only part of backfield shakeup. Rookie quarterback John Beck was promoted to the first team Wednesday and will make his NFL debut· Sunday at Philadelphia. The 30-year-old Williams, who has played in only 12 games since the start of the 2004 season, was suspended in April 2006 after violating the league drug policy for the fourth time. His return was delayed when he tested positiv~ again for marijuana last spnng. · He played in the Canadian FQOtball League last season and applied for reinstatement Oct. I . Williams is eligible to attend team meetings and practice immediately, but the earliest he would be allowed to play in a game would be against Pittsburgh on Monday night, Nov. 26. The team will have a roster exemption for up to two weeks if and wl)en he starts practicing. "Ricky worked extremely hard to meet the requirements for reinstatement," said his attorney, David Cornwell. "He is grateful for commissioner Goodell's decision.

He retired in 2004, traveling in India and Australia before returning to PITTSBURGH (AP) The New York Jets are 1-8 with six losses in a row and have beaten only winless Miami . The Jets have been outscored by 69 points and are giving up more yards rushing than any team in the league . No wonder the Pittsburgh Steelers are nervous. The Steelers (7-2) , owners of a two-game lead in the · AFC North after winning three in a row, faced a similar road matchup a month ago in Denver. The Broncos had lost three in a row, were coming off a 41-3 homefield loss to San Diego and their rushing defense was among the NFL's worst. So, naturally, the Steelers lost 31-28. Don' t think th at defeat and the ir narrow 31-28 comeback win Sunday over Cleveland - wasn't on the mind of a few players Wednesday as the Steelers beg an practici ng for Sunday's ga me in the Meadowlands.

Williams, who was suspended in April 2006 after violating the league drug policy for the fourth time, was reinstated Wednesday by the NFL, and the winless Dolphins might welcome him back. Ricky Williams reinstated by NFL DAVIE, Fla. (AP) Ricky Williams' suspension ended after more than 18 months when he was reinstated Wednesday by the NFL, and the winless Miami Dolphins might welcome him back. The , 2002 league rushing champion was scheduled to fly to South Florida for a physical Thursday and meet with coach Cam Cameron, said Williams' agent, Leigh Steinberg. The first-year Miami coach, whose team is 0-9, said he talked with Williams by phone for "five or six minutes" Wednesday, but hadn't made a decision about activating him." "I. want to see where he is, and also let him know where we're headed, and we' 11 go . from there, "Tameron said. Cameron has been mum for months regarding whether he would want Williams back. But Steinberg said he ""as encouraged by a phone conversation Wednesday with Matt Thomas, Dolphins general counsel-football administration. "His indication was they were interested in Ricky," Steinberg said. "The spirit of the discussion was welcoming. It was a very similar discussion to what you would have regarding a draft choice or any returning player. The only contingent was whether they· would · have him practice Friday or Monday." The return of Williams would be only part of backfield shakeup. Rookie quarterback John Beck was promoted to the first team Wednesday and will make his NFL debut· Sunday at Philadelphia. The 30-year-old Williams, who has played in only 12 games since the start of the 2004 season, was suspended in April 2006 after violating the league drug policy for the fourth time. His return was delayed when he tested positiv~ again for marijuana last spnng. · He played in the Canadian FQOtball League last season and applied for reinstatement Oct. I . Williams is eligible to attend team meetings and practice immediately, but the earliest he would be allowed to play in a game would be against Pittsburgh on Monday night, Nov. 26. The team will have a roster exemption for up to two weeks if and wl)en he starts practicing. "Ricky worked extremely hard to meet the requirements for reinstatement," said his attorney, David Cornwell. "He is grateful for commissioner Goodell's decision. Ricky is committed to making the most of the onportunicy to rejoin the NFL.~' · Williams rushed for 3,225 yards in the 2002-1:13 seasons after being traded to · the Dolphins from New, Orleans. He retired in 2004, traveling in India and Australia before returning to PITTSBURGH (AP) The New York Jets are 1-8 with six losses in a row and have beaten only winless Miami . The Jets have been outscored by 69 points and are giving up more yards rushing than any team in the league . No wonder the Pittsburgh Steelers are nervous. The Steelers (7-2) , owners of a two-game lead in the · AFC North after winning three in a row, faced a similar road matchup a month ago in Denver. The Broncos had lost three in a row, were coming off a 41-3 homefield loss to San Diego and their rushing defense was among the NFL's worst. So, naturally, the Steelers lost 31-28. Don' t think th at defeat and the ir narrow 31-28 comeback win Sunday over Cleveland - wasn't on the mind of a few players Wednesday as the Steelers beg an practici ng for Sunday's ga me in the Meadowlands. Ben Roethli sberger, who is friends with some Pittsburgh-area policemen, wore an NYPD 1\at; and it wasn ' t by coincidence. Roethli sberger 's charity gives money to a police department in the cuy of every Steelers road opponent. He also was sending !I message that just because the Steelers are playing the Jets and Dolphins (0-9) in the next two weeks doesn ' I mean they have the equivalent of two byes. " We' re not going to (overlook teams) regardless of if we feel like we' re a good team or not," Roethlisberger said. "That's not the type of football te am we are.

As part of the NFL drug program, Williams underwent therapy for the past 5 1/2 months in Boston and benefited from the treatment, Steinberg said. "This is the program working exactly as tt should - treating a player for 1m underlying life problem in a BEREA (AP) positive and sophisticated Dreadlocks bobbing out of his way, and returning him to orange helmet, Joshua Cnbbs health," Steinberg said. nonchalantly retreated inside Steinberg said Williams Cleveland's end zone on has been working out and Sunday in Pittsburgh to weighs a fit 230 pounds. retrieve a kickoff that had "The Dolphins, or whatev- squirted by.

The lawyer, Gabriel Grasso, told a Las Vegas justice of the peace it wa~ unclear if prosecutors considered the act of luring the two dealers to a hotel room the alleged act of kidnapping - or whether the charge was based on a confrontation that followed . "This is clearly overcharging," he said. Justice of the Peace Joe M.

Jeff Rennie, spokesperson for AEP, said the power went out at approximately 6: 10 p.m. and was restored at II :50 p.m. The cause of the outage is attributed to a broken cross-arm on a utility pole in the area. A cross-arm is a wooden beam that ~oes across the utility pole, Often holdu!g a transformer. Rennie said although what caused the failure of the cross-arm is undetermined, they typically fail due to stresses caused by weather and when they fail they take electrical lines with them. The largest facility affected by the outage was Rocksprings RehabilitatiQn Center which actually wasn't affected at all with the facility having a backup generator for its 91 residents. cleaner-shaped mouth.
