AriL. Omar Yizquel fielded grounc!balls with the same ease he's shown for years on his firs t day with the San Francisco Giants . That's what has made him. one of haseball"s best defensive shortstops. One thing did seem a little strange for Vizquel on Monday: Pulling on a new ·uniform for the first time in more than a decade. '' I cannot lie. It feels ~eal­ ly weird just to have the black <tnd the orange." said YizqueL who spent the last II seasons with Cleveland. "I've been wearing the blue and red for about II years. When people say black n\akes you look ski nnier. I think they ' re right. " The 37-year-old Yizquel signed a three-year, $ 12.25 million contract in November tu give the Giants some much-needed stability at shortstop- and a chance to get back to the playoffs after falling short in .the 'final weekend last year. He's ready to go. to o. Yizquel arrived a day before position players were due in camp and two days before the tea m's first full-squad workout.

"The second baseman· s go t to be prepared (to get the ball)." wnanager Felipe Alou said with a sm ile Monday when asked about Yizqucl.

He will wear his regular No, 13 after third baseman Edgardo Alfonzo Vizquel's Venezuelan countryman - agreed to switch his uniform to No. 12. " I appreciate the gestu re, " \fizquel said. Vizqu el, a nine -time Gold Glove winner and sw itch-hitter, batted .29 1 with seven homers and 59 RBis last season for the Indians. He also scored ~2 runs, stole 19 bases and didn ' t make an error over hi s last 55 games. Vizquel will provide a boost to the defen se and should improve production in the ·No. 2 spot in the order. He 's not thinking about anotl.~er Gold Glove just yet.

Barry Bonds is 40, right fielder Moises Alou is 38, and center fielder Marquis Grissom is 37. A couple of relievers are 35. "The difference here is you see a lot of guys who have been around for a while,".Yizquel sai¢. "They don 't really need to push them selves that hard. They don't worry when they go 0-for-4 . They don't worry when they give up a couple of runs. They do what they have to do. That's the way veteran players approach spring training ."

Not so. according to Meigs County Sheriff Ro~rt Beegle. Beegle. said thin robberies in the county are "about the same'' . in comparison to before he took office in January. Beegle also said that a significant difference in the situation is the fact that the Sheriff's Office .1s now releasing the bad news from around the county as well as the good new s. "We're reporting what's going on. the bad as well as good so the public will nut get complacent,'' Beegle said. "People need to look out for their property and their neighbor' s property." When asked if any of the robberies · were connected. Beegle said that in some cases that could be a possibility but his office has to have the proof. He said he believes one of the biggest .obstacles in getting that proof is not having a jail to house suspects for questioning. As it stands. suspects are shipped off to the Southeastern Ohio Regional Jail in Nelsonville. meaning a two-hour drive is involved to interrogate any suspect, who may or may not cooperate . "We can question them if we have thcin here." Beegle said about the regional jail situation. The most recent Meigs · County Sheriff's Office report listed eight robberies from around the county.

Or assembling refrigerator magnets I That last come-on attracted an estimated 30,000 people. the government said Tuesday, announcing a crackdown on · some 200 scam operations that falsely offered lucrative workat-home and O\her questionable business opportunities. Such schemes cheated tens of thousands of people out of more than $100 million , officials said. Worse· news: They said ' they can' l even estimate how . many other suc h scams are c;,ut there. ln a monthlong' crackdown on promoters of illegal business opportunity and work-athome schemes, the Federal Trade Commiss ion, Justice · De.panme nt, U.S. Postal Inspection Service and law . enforcement agencie> from 14 states tQOk civil and c'riminal action against more than 200 operations they said engaged In fraud and/or violated con' · --- ·- sumer protection laws, officials said at a news conference. Such offers succeed partly because they "appeal to the optimist in all of us - be your own boss, supplement your income, pay for your child's education," said FTC Chairman Deborah Platt Majoras. The reality, she said, is that many are scams promising results that will' never happen . And victims who lose money they invested in some of the businesses are unlikely to ever get it back, said Peter D. Keisler, assistant attorney general in the Justice Depanment's civil division. Some people spent up to $37,500 per machine to invest in a plan to own DVD movie rental vending machines. The company se lling them, American Entertainment Distributors of Hollywood, Fla. , allegedly said annual earn ings from the machines would be $60,000 to $80,000 and that it would help buyers place them in good locations. The FTC alleges the company misrepresented how much help it would give franchisees.

Neither company could be reached for comment. Directory assistance had no number for the entenainment company ·and the phone was disconnected at the assembling company. The multi-agency .enforcement crackdown, knqwn as "Project Biz Qpp Flop," meant the government agencies cooperated with each other to investigate and eventually .file criminal prosecutions or civil actions, get cease-and-desist · orders and so on.

Things were getting serious, and I di scovered I was pregnant. When I told Ollie about the baby, he dumped me. Meanwhile, Stan qme home on leave. He told me he loved me, and asked me to wait for him to finish his train~ ing, and then we would be together again. About a month later I suffered a miscarriage. Not long after that, Ollie came to see me and I told him I had lost the baby. He told me he knew he had been wrong to leave me when he found out I was , pregnant, and said he wanted us to get back together.

Indeed, draining money out of the system makes the problem worse. It places an unfair burden on our children and grandchildren, replacing a guaranteed benefit with a $2 trillion bill. We must do better. and we can, by making sensible changes now: . AARP views Social Security as a binding_ obligation to current and future generat'ions of Americans. Right now the Social Security trust fund can pay I 00 percent of promised benefits through 2042 when the youngest of the baby boomers will be 78 years old. After 2042, if no changes are made, fully 70 percent of promised benefits could still be paid . What we need to do now Is to take sensible steps to strengthen Social · Secu'rity's long- term solvency to ensure that full benefits can be paid beyond 2042 for all future generations. Here are just two examples of options we should explore: Increasing the wage base for Social Security contributions from $90,000 to $ 140,000 (phased in over .JO years), and diversifying Social Security's Trust Fund investments In a broad stock index fund to gain higher-returns. Taken together, those two mode st steps could cut Social Security's long-term debt by more than half. Under no circumstance~ 'should we weaken Social Security by taking money out to create private accounts. Diverting Social Security funds into private accounts will inevitably lead to cutting benefits for future generations and borrowing trillions for transition costs. Let's maj(e sure Congress knows · that dismantling Social Security is not an option, that we want to strengthen Social Security t~ keep its promise to our children and grandchildren.

But anti-smoking advocates say money for such campaigns is drying up. The American Legacy Foundation's "truth" campaign prevented about 300,000 youths from becoming smokers between 2000 and 2002, according to a study to be released Wednesday in the March edition of the American Journal of Public Health. That's about 22 percent of the total decline in youth smoking over the period, the study found . But the foundation, which· operates an independent nationwide campaign against youth smoking, is running low on money at the sa me time state legislatures cut into the amount, they spend on anti-smoking campatgns. Tobacco companies agreed to pay into a fund that contributes to the "truth" campaign in 1998 when the indus. try reached a $246 billion legal settlement with the states. But the agreement allowed companies to stop paying after five years if their market share was below 99 percent. smoking.

State proposes to extend E-check in northeast Ohio, end it in southwest Ohio . . BY CARRIE SPENCER ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER COLUMBUS- State environmental officials want to shrink Ohio's E-Check auto emission testing program by requiring about 370,000 fewer cars to be tested in northeast Ohio and replacing the program with other pollution controls in southwest Ohio. E-Check expires at year's end. Exteosions would require legislative approval and end-· ing the· program requires federal. approval. The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency on Tuesday proposed keeping the program for two years for seven northeast Ohio counties but doubling the age of exempt cars to those 4 years old and newer. About 223,000 drivers -of cars 2 years old and newer already . are exempt. The state also will recom. mend ending the program in · seven counties in·the Cincinnati and Dayton areas arid replacing it with other controls, such as al:lowing less industrial pollution or requiring cleaner-burning gru;oline. The state would have to show the fedeml government that the change won't worsen pollution. Most northea\t Ohio members of the AAA Ohio Motorists Association in a December survey opposed emission testing and supponed expanding the new-car exemption, spokesman. Brian Newbacher said.

But in Ohio, the tests have resulted in car repairs that have removed up to I million tons of pollutants over I 0 years, EPA spokeswoman Heidi Grie~mer said. Drivers in E-Check counties must get the $19.50 tests on tailpipe emissions every two years to renew registration for gasoline- and diesel-powered vehicles 25 years old and newer.

Wednesday, February 23. PITTSBURGH The Pittsburgh Steelers failed to· designate wide receiver Plaxico Burress as their franchise player by Tuesday's deadline, all but assuring that he w.ill become a free agent March 2. · Burress is set to leave Pittsburgh, but possibly not the AFC North since the Baltimore Ravens are believed to be interested in signing the 6-foot-5 receiver. Burress had at least 60 catches for three consecutive seasons before being slowed liy a hamstring injury last season, when his 35 catches were his fewest since he made 22 as a rookie in 2000. Ben Roethlisberger lobbied hard for the Steelers to bring back Burress, their only deep receiving threat and one of the quarterback' s closest friends. But with the Steelers· lacking the cap room to boost Burress' salary to $7,768,000 - the average of th,e NFL's top five receivers~ hi s parting has been considered inevitable since last month. Burress missed live of the Steelers' last six regular-season gali1es with a sore ·hamstring, then was di sappointed at being used mostly as a decoy afte.r that. He made only five catches for 65 yards in two playoff games, including a meaningless TD catch in the final minute of the 41 27 loss. to New England in the AFC championship game Jan. 23. "It's Pittsburgh, which speaks for itself. They're not going to change," Burress said of Pittsburgh's r~n-heavy offense. ''I' m not going to change. Three or four balls just doesn 't suit me very well." The Steelers have not designated a franchise player since 'linebacker Jason Gildon in 2002, when he signed a multiyear contract before he could play under the franchise tag. Burress' cap value last season was $1.5 million. He signed a five-year contract worth a minimum of $8.67 million after being the No. 8 pick in the 2000 draft. While Burress is all but gone, the Bus may not be .

"I won't say it was necessarily a personal challenge, but it was a reason to come out and want to play well. In Toronto, definitely all eyes were on this game," Rose said. "Being the leader of the team, I tried to lead the pack ." Rose also led the Raptors on a 14-4 run early in the fourth quarter. "It's disappointing, the . way we played. I thmk we've played better." ·c arter said. "It's always a concern coming out of the All-Star break how your team makes its comeback after the break.

Giambi the focus as Yankees gather Bv RONALD BLUM Associated Press TAMPA , Fla. - Back in a .venue where grand slams are discussed more often than grand juries. Jason Giambi took batting practice and homered on four of 29 swings. "I didn't think I was going . to hit grou'nders to second," he said, laughing. He was back to hitting , baseballs in public, not dodging questions about steroid use. Giambi, Alex Rodriguez, .

When the Yankees play an intrasquad, it's an All-Star game by itself. . "It's good to know they're : on my side;: Johnson said. "Tomorrow I' ll introduce myself to a few of the players." He grinned. ''I'm throwing batting practice tomorrow," he said. It was the first' time all 'the Yankees were together since October 's historic collapse against Boston in the champiunship series, when the Red Sox became the first major league team to overcome a 30 deficit to win a series. "I think we developed even more of a thirst after the way we ended · last year," Rodriguez said. Yankees m11nager Joe Torre addressed the team for an hour before the workou,t, but didn 't touch on last year's low point. Th'en the players, counted on by owner George Steinbrenner to win the title for the lirst time since 2000, took the field . Giambi tried to use all parts of the field, hitting I 7 balls to right, eight to center, three to left and one off the batting cage. Last year, when he tried to play through an intestinal parasite, strained groin. respiratory infection and benign pituitary tumor. he became a pull hitter. By the time his season ended, he didn't hit much at all. He' ll be a designated hitter for the first three weeks of exhibition game~. so he can get as many at-bats as possible, and Tmo Martinez will play lirst base. But will Giambi regain the form that · earned him · th!! 2000 AL MVP award? Did performance-enhancing drugs cause his body to break down·J Can he be a top player without using steroids? "As far as really trying to learn something, I think it's too early now," Torre ·said. "He takes batting practice for about five days or so, I think you can start getting a feel on how comfortable he is." Giambi felt his legs under him while hittin~ for the first time sitlce the Illnesses. He joked with Jeter in the batting cage and acted like just another guy. But for him to have a renaissance, it will take more than just feeling right. "It 's a rebuilding of . the confidence and the ego and that sort of inner conceit you . need to be successful,'' Torre said. Giambi is sure to receive a · hostile reception on, the road, especially at Fenway Park. A December report in the San Francisco Chronicle ,said he told a federal .grand jury that he used steroids, and fans are sure to needle him about that. But In New York's own ballpark, fans have backed him. "For the fans to, give me that kind of support, look at you as .a human being, that's special," Giambi said. He took grounders at first base along with Martinez , back with the Yankees for the first time since the sevengame World Series loss to Arizona in 2001. Giambi, signed to a $120 million, seven-year contract, took over at tirst from Martinez. Giambi recruited him when Martinez faced the Yankees. . "Every time he got on first base, he 'd say, 'We have to get you back here,"' Martinez said . Giambi spent the winter working out twice a day. He ran, threw and . hit in the~ morning. then did lifting in the afternoon. His body looked sturdier this week .his uniform pants even . seemed a bit tight around the thighs as he pulled them on.

Here, you have seven : one spade . two hearts. three diamo'nds and one club. You can get the extra two tricks if either the missing diamonds are splining 3-2 or the club finesse is working. The problem is that you (probablY) cannot try both. ll you start. with the diamonds. you will be stranded in the dummy.
