HAPPY AT LAST IN UTAH DEAR ABBY: I had a friend like Anne. whose mother made her life miserable by withholding love and approval. It nearly drove her crazy. uritil-.one' day her mother died. Anne was 50 by then and had been a doormat all that time for her mother. her daughter, her son and their spouses. Oui of the blue she called .me and said she was moving to New. Mexico and starting her life over. She and her husband sold th~ir house .. packed their van and their dogs, and went to live in a completely new place. I hear from her every lew nionths. While life has had its ups and downs, she 's happier than she has ever been in her whole life. I hope Anne's friend doesn't give up on. her; she may just be waiting to be set free. - LAURIE IN PENNSYLVANIA Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips , and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

B~sh 's proposed cuts to hospitals and other Medicare providers but preserved his plan to trim spending by most . Cabinet agencies. · The $2.8 trillion plan approved by the Budget Committee late Wedn'esday on a party-line 22-17 vote omits Bush 's cuts in Medicare.. Medicaid, crop subsidies and other politically sensitive programs. The GOP plan, written by Chairman Jtm Nussle, Rlowa, for the 2001 budget · year beginning Oct. I, adopts Bush's $873 billion cap on agency budgets renewed by Congress each year. But it also assumes just $50 billion for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, less than half the expected spending for military operations in those · COIIillries for the current yeaf. The plan endorses Bush 's call for a 7 percent increase in the core defense budgetwhich doesn 't include Iraq war costs - for next year. That increase comes at the expense of domestic programs like education, health research and grants to local governments and relief agencies. The plan also assumes $226 billion in additional tax cuts ·over live years. more than half of which would go for extending Bush's 2001 and 2003 tax cuts. most · of which are set to expire in 2010. But the co.mmittee didn·t take l~e necessary steps under Congress ' arcane budget process to facilitate speedy action on a tax bill . Nussle credited earlier tax cuts with reviving an economy that was in recession when Bush took office. "As a result of · giving Americans more control over their money, we've seen more investment, more jobs and greater opportunities in this country," Nussle said. Democrats denounced the · Republican blueprint, which would produce a deficit of $348 billiol) in 2007 · and deficits totaling more than $1 trillion through 20 II . if Congress enacts its policies. And they doubted it would even meet these deficit goals since it doesn't account for the costs of the war in Iraq aftq · 2007 or for shjelding · middle-to-upper income taxpayers from being hit by the alternative minimum tax , Rep. John Spratt Jr., DS.C., said the national debt would almost double to more than $9 trillion under Bush's tenure in office, a natural result . "from a fiscal policy that says ·yo.u can have guns, butter, tax cuts, too, and never mind the deficit. ... It holds no real plan or prospect of balancing the budget." While the House GOP plan would drop '$65 billion in benefit cuts over five years proposed by Bush's February budget - such as curbs to Medicare, Medicaid and crop subsidies - it goes further than Bush in attacking appro- . priated spending, the approximately one-third of the budget passed by Congress each year. And, for t1Ie first time, Republicans seek to limit spending for future disasters to the $4.3 billion contained in a rainy day fund. The plan would cut federal spending on education by more than $5 billion, about 7 percent. After allowing for an increase next year, Nussle's plan also would have cut the budget for veterans medical care below current levels through the rest of the decade. Democrats said that would feel more like a $10 billion cut after inflation and expected growth in the number of veteran s seeking bene·fits is taken into account. Reflecting sensitivity over veterans' issues, an amendment by Rep. Jeb Bradley, RN.H., approved unanimously, added back $4 bi II ion over five years for veterans .medical benefits. In a debate that took . all day Wednesday, Republicans swatted back attempts by Democrats to increase fund,i~g for port security, educa-. uon and health programs, food stamps and homeland .security. A rival Senate plan passed two weeks ago was rewritten during floor debate to bust through Bush's $873 billion appropriations cap by $16 billion, · and GOP moderates are pressing to raise the cap in the House to ease cuts to education, health research and block grants to local governments and relief agencies. The split between moderates and conservatives threatens to delay t1oor action on the House plan and could . create an impasse with the Senate, where powerful moderate Arlen Specter, R-Pa. , is adamant about additional funds for education and health. "I would say th'ere is a challenge there," said conservative Rep. Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas. After Republicans had enonnous difficulty passing a five-year. $39 billion benefit cut bill lasi year, Nussle proposed just $6.8'billion in sav. ings spread over five years from such so-called manda.tory programs, whose budgets typically rise with inflation and population growth. With lawmakers But unwilling to tackle hot-but.ton items such as Medicare, Republicans instead turned to m.odest proposals such as eliminating taxpayer subsidies on t1ood insurance for vacation beach houses arid permitting increased sales of tungsten stockpiled by the Defense Department. The budget resolution is a nonbinding blueprint · that establishes lawmakers' tax and spending priorities. It sets the outlines for bills that cut or raise taxes and spending.

"I will onlv comment on things about Barry's on-field performance or contractual status,'' said his agent, Jeff Borris. It is unclear whether current or former players would cooperate with an investigation.or could be forced to do so by baseball. Gene Orz!l •. the chief operating officer of the Major League Baseball Players AssoCtation, declined comment. Under pres sure from Congress, baseball toughened penalties last year and again .Southern ' DURHAM, N.C. (AP) The · president of Duke University met Wednesday with students who feel his suspension of the lacrosse team during a rape investigation was not enough, urging them to be patient while police look into the matter. "I don't want to. say I'm satisfied, but I will say that what happened in there makes me feel like we're moving in a good direction," sophomore Bridgette Howard said after the roughly hourlong session. The meeting between President Richard Brodhead and a few dozen students was closed 'to all media except Duke's student newspaper. Brodhead suspended the highly ranked team from play until the school learns more about accusations that team members attacked an exotic dancer hired to perform at an off-campus party ..The alleged victim, a student at nearby North Carolina Central University, has told police she was pulled into a bathroom, beaten, choked and raped by three rnen at a March 13 party. where she and another dancer were hired to perform. Police collected DNA samples with a cheek swab from 46 members of the lacrosse team last week; the 47th player, the only black member, wasn't tested because the victim said her attackers were white. this season, when an initial positi ve test will result in a 50-game suspension. Twelve players, including Rafael Palmei ro, were suspended for I0 day s each following positive tests last year. ··Game of Shadows" details alleged used of perfoimanceenhancing drugs by Bonds for at least five seasons beginning after the 1998 season. Former commissioner Fay Vincent called this month for an investigation and suggested it be headed by Mitchell or John Dowd, who led baseball's · 1989 prolie into gambling by career hits leader Pete Rose, who . agreed to a hfetime ban. "I think the investigation is the right step," Vincent said. .., don' t think the issue is punishment. I think it's: 'Shouldn 't the players be called to task for cheating, even if there. is no punishment?' I think baseball has to recapture the moral high ground." An after-hours left for Mitchell at his )llew York otlice was not 'immediately returned Wednesday. The New York Daily News first reported March 16 that Selig would launch an investigation, but Selig said no decision had been made at the time . he put forth tomght. For him to co meback the way he has been a tremendous accompli shment. He kept us in the from Page 81 game early then Patrick (Johnson ) came in and defense sparkled. pitched very well." Southern Coach Ryan Chapman is coming off Lemley said, "We' re down ACL surgery from an injury 2-0 and .it would be easy to sutf ered during a football get down on ourselves, but game in mid September: The the kids stayed focused, and early prognosis was that he didn ' t lose composure. I am could quite possibly miss all very proud of them. We got sports the re st of the 2005-06 our first hit in lhe fourth school year, but great dedica·inning and things started to tion and an extra effort along go our way from that point the rehabilitation trail put · on. And most of all , we made him months ahead on his no errors. Anytime you do . recovery time. Said Lemley, that you're going to win your "Ryan has to be the high share of games." . . _ school comeback player of "I am extremely proud ot the year. And he deserves it.'• Ryan Chapman for the effort Chapman struck out five of the first eight batters he faced before Miller put together a two-run rally in the third inning. With two outs;. Jarod Bolyard walked and Jordan Doup was hit by a pitched setting up a two-run double by Shane Luning that gave the Falcons a 2-0 lead. Chapman then got Osborne to fly out to . Wes Riffle in right to end the inning. So.uthern threatened in the third inning with lead-ot:f walks to Johnson and Darin .Teaford, but they. were left stranded. Johnson then went to the mound in the fourth and began a three inning stint of shut-out baseball. Meanwhile, in the bottom of the inning, Southern explod.ed offensively. Miller pitcher , - Jarod Bolyard had stymied the Southern bats over the first three innings, but in the fourth round We s Riffle laced a one-out single and Brad Crouch walked . Chapman then pounded an RBI single to put SHS on the board, and Johnson walked. Eric Zeiner the reached on an error with the bases loaded with new Miller hurler Jordan Doup on the mound . Southern 's Nick B~ck tnen reached on an error to bring home another run and give Southern a 3-2 edge. Hunter reached on a fielder's choice, Josh Pape walked home a run, Butch Mamhout reached on an error to bring home another run, then a hit batter No one has been charged. and the team's captains have said the tests will clear players. Police said three players who live at the 'house where the party took place spoke with investigators and voluntarily provided samples March 16. A scheduled meeting between detectives and the rest of the team was later canceled by the players' attorney, and District Attorney Mike Nifong said Wednesday the players still refuse to speak with investigators. · Jllews of the attack has sparked day s of protest at Duke and in Durham. culminatin~ Tuesday in Brodhead's decisiOn to suspend the team. He stressed the suspension was not a punishment, but. a response to the inappwpriate ,nature of playing while the investigation is ongoing. Those comments led about 100 students to approach Brodhead after Tuesday night's announcement and demand his admini stration deliver a stronger response. "We understand that the legal system is that you are innocent until. proven guilty," said sophomore Kristin High. "But people are nervous arid afraid that ·these people are going to get away with what they did because of a wealthy privilege, or male privilege, or a white privilege." Their protests led to Wednesday 's meeting inside (Rift1e) and a two run Crouch single finalized the . eight-run inning. Johnson and the Southern defense mowed down the Falcons in the last two innings, then Southern won on the 10-run mercy rule with four runs in the sixth inning. Marnhout and Riffle , (who was 1-2) walked. J.R. ' Hupp walked, Randy Collins had a· two-run double , and Pat Johnson a two-run single to end the game, 12-2 Southern. Southern hillers were Collins with a double, and singles by Riffle. Chapman, Johnson, and Brad Crouch. Miller hitters 'were Jordan Gottle, Shane Luning a double and single, and Tyler ~ribune the campus' black cultural center, where participants said Brodhead urged patie)lce as police continue to mvestigate. Graduate student Michelle Christian complained Duke is continuing to downplay the alleged attack. "They need presidents, they need adntinistrators, they need faculty, to tell them that it was wrong behavior and that they · are not going to be coddled because they are athletes, because they come from privileged backgrounds, because they have money," Christian told Durham's WTVD-TY. Later in the day, wphomore Jeff Shaw ·wore a Duke lacrosse T-shirt on' campus in support of his friends on the team . "Even if it's true, it's three guys and unfortunately, this is gomg to be a label the team is going to carry," Shaw said. The incident was expected to heighten interest in an annual campus rally against sexual violence planned for Wednesday night. Also Wednesday. Brodhead apologized .for language used by those at the party. A woman calling 911 on the night of the party told police that men outside of the house called out to her and another woman using a racial slur. ••Jt's disgusting~" Brodhead said in a statement. "Racism and its hateful language have no place in this community.'' In One Week With Us REACH OVER 285,000 PROSPECTS • PLUS YOUR AD NOW ONLINE To Place l\egi~ter m:ribune Sentinel .

Robert Dauer, Naples, Fla. There are lew teaching deals where bath defenders make mistaKes. It is usually one or the other who does something demonstrably wrol1g - as here. How should the defenders play to defeat three · no·trurhp? North, w ith seven certain tricks, should go lor the nine-trick game . He need not fear the clubs, because South, who has (in principl e) denied a four,.card major and sufficient diamonds to raise. must have some club length When this deal 'arose during a Chicago game , We st ted the club jack. East won with his club ace and .. . did what? The openi ng le ad marks South with ·the club queen . So if East returns a club. declarer must make his contract (He has one club, six diamonds and at least two spades, the finesse winning if South does not haVe the spade ki[lg .) It should be apparent to East ihat a heart shift is requi red . Perhaps there is a natural re~c­ tion to lead the heart four. But if South plays low from his hand. lhat pl ay by Easl will not be' sufficient. Declarer Wtll have a heart stopper and cruise home. Instead, East must recognize the ele· men ts lor a su rrou nding play. He has dummy's lop card, lhe 10, surrounded by his jack and ni,ne. In addition. he holds a higher nontouching honor in the king . East should lead the top of the surrolJnding pair, shifting to the heart jack. Th is play nets four heart tricks- success!
