''There are a lot of reasons why people are on or off the list. including the BALCO investigation in San Francisco, but including the fact that we didn't want to make this about one player," Davis said.

The 73-year-old Hall of Fame coach suspended himself for one game before the school extended the puni shmen\ to three games after the extent of Bryant 's injury was discovered.

He had no other comment. Temple athletic director Bill Bradshaw declined. to discuss any cond itions of Chaney's return. "We will all get together at the end of the season and talk about the future," Bradshaw said.

Responding to .what now appear to have been false alarms; officials handed out antibiotics and closed three mail facilities _ two that serve the Pentagon and one in Washington that ·handles mail on its way to the military. Officials believe that the confusion stemmed from a mistake at · a Defense Department laboratory at ' Fort Detrick, Md. Officials there apparently mixed up a sample of actual anthrax that is kept on hand for comparison purposes with the sample taken . from the Pentagon mailroom, a senior administration official said Tuesday. Later tests proved negative and officials realized their error, the otfi.:ial said, speaking on conditipn of anonymity. . ··we had some preliminary results that were positive but subsequent additional tests have determined that the sample that we had · was in fact negative," said Dr. William ' Winkenwerder, assistant secretary of defense for health affairs. ' He sl1id tests that have been completed on samples from both facilities have all come back negative, though some additional tests are still incomplete. "So on that basis we have nothing to, suggest . anything remotely like the events of October 200 I, and we hope that with further information ·we ' ll be able to completely rule out any threat.at all," he said. In more than three ·years since the 200! anthrax-bymail attacks, there have been scores of initial tests that falsely reponed anthrax in government mai !rooms. In this case, however, two alert systems independently suggested the presence of the bacteria, raising concerns and invoking memories of the attacks that killed five and panicked Americans still raw from the Sept. . II attacks. Officials became concerned after warning signs of anthrax appeared at two Pentagon mail facilities on Monday. in what appears now to have been a coincidence. First, a filter on a device that screens mail for chemical.. and biological agents on the Pentagon grounds tested positive for anthrax. Separately, an alert was set off at a nearby satellite mail processing facility. After receiving results that appeared to confirm the initial readings, otficials set out to retest the initial filter and gathered additional sam~les from the facilities for testing. Every one of those samples · came back negative, Winkenwerder said. "We're very encouraged with the information that we now have in hand," he said. As a precaution, antibiotics were given to 166 employees at a · post office processing center in the District of Columbia, which .handles mail before it reaches' the Pentagon, and to about 700 workers at the military mailrooms, off.icials said. That includes those at the facility on the Pentagon grounds in Arlington, Va., and those who work at the satellite facility several miles away in Fairfax County, Va. Win kenwerder said the advice to these workers would not change until the ' DIET: Obesity in men bigger p·roblem in ·some European countries than in U.S. BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) - At least seven European countries now challenge the United States in size. In a group of nations from Greece to Germany, the proportion of overweight or o!Jese · men is higher than in the United States, experts said Thesday' in <1 major analysis of expanding ~irth on the European conunent. . "The time when obesity was · thought to be a problem on the other si<:le of the Atlantic has" gone by," said Mars Di Bartolomeo, Luxembourg's Minister of Health. . In Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Finland. Germany, Greece, Malta and Slovakia, a higher percentage of men are obese or overweight than the estimated 67 percent of men in the United States, according to a report from the International Obesity Task Force, a coalition of researchers and institutions. The analysis was released as the 25-nation European Union announced an initiative to enlist the food and marketing industries in the fight against fat.. Obesity is especially acute in Mediterranean countries, underscoring concerns that people in the southern region are turninB away from the tra- · ditional dtet of.fish, fruits and vegetables to fast food high in fat and refined carbohydrates. In Greece, 38 percent of women are obese, compared with 34 percent in the United States, the group said. . Even in countries with low rates of obesity, troubling trends are emerging. In France, obesitY in women rose from 8 percent in 1997 to 11.3 percent m 2003, and from 8.4 percent to 11.4 percent in men. The change in diets, which the obesity task force said has occurred over the past two decades, affects children most because it is reflected in school lunches. The task force estimated that among the EU 's I 03 million youngsters the number of those overweight rises by 400,000 each year. More than 30 percent of children ages 7 to II are overweight in Italy, Ponugal, Spain and Malta, it said. That matches estimates for Americap children. Among American adults, about twothirds are overweight or obese; nearly one-third qualify as obese. final tests come back, probably Wednesday._ Assum·ing those tests are also negative, any workers who began tak.ing antibiotics would . be advised to stop. During the course of a day that had many on edge, hos.pitals were told to be on the lookout . 'for symptoms in~luding respiratory problems, rashes or flu-like symptoms that could signal exposure to anthrax, w.hich can be . used as a biological weapon. Anthrax can 'be .spread thro.ugli contact with the skin. A more serious form of the disease, inhalation anthrax, is contracted by breathing in spores. After the 200 I attacks, health officials concluded that some people can contract . the disease through expdsure to a small number of the tiny microbes.

When the anesthesiologist arrived to interview her before her procedure, she proceeded to ask him if he knew me. He replied that he did. Her next question was whether he knew that I had recently had cosmetic surgery. Thankfully; he acted in a pro.fessional !Jlanner by ·simply saying. "Oh?" She continued the interrogation by asking him if he was aware that I had been previously engaged, and wheth~r he thought I was a runaway bride or not. . I was flabbergasted that she had the gall to bring up such personal things with someone with whom I have a professional relationship. Thts is a · small community where things spread like wildfire. I want to have a relationship with her, but I feel as though she kicked me in the stomach and stabbed me in the back.

Young, an attarney for the schools. "At least everybody's back at the table," he said. The program uses federal grants to pay for therapy and services for developmentally disabled children. who qualify for Medicaid, including federally required services . in puqlic schools. The ·Department of Job and Family Services said the federa! government is ~hreaten­ ing to pull the money because the program doesn' t meet regulations . The agency has worked· with federal officials to replace · parts of the program, but a plan hadn' t yet been agreed on for the $67 million schools component. Eleven school districts, an education center and two parents of a disabled child ,ued on Friday, challenging the agency's authority to end it.

Between May . 1999 and March 2002, Brock w.as the manager of a , computer department .at Eagle Picher's headquarters in Cincinnati. When the company moved to Phoenix, it hired Brock as a consultant ·until he was fired in August 2002. · In a plea agreement, Br<A.k admitted that he bi !led Eagle Picher for goods and services that actually went to Orion Aviation, which Brock .. owned.

The department has asked districts to submit ideas for a new fed~ral grant prbposal, spokesman Dennis Evan s said. The temporary' order "doesn't really ch~nge our strategy," he said. "There's still the reality that the federal funding ends June 30:" Young 1juestioned that, saying the federal government lias suggested the money would continue if the .state submits a "good-faith proposal." . One option the department has suggested is certifying the schools as Medicaid providers of physical, speech and hearing therapy. However, that would. require schools to pay more of the cost instead of using all federal dollars: · "They had no long-range plan to replace it," Young said. "We' re just interested in making sure these payments for these children continue in one way or another."

DuPont to cut amount of chemical used to make Teflon WILMINGTON, DeL (AP) - DuPont Co. has pledged · to further reduce the amount of a chemical used in making substance the · nonstick Teflon, following a $108 million settlement with residents along . the Ohio River over possible drinking water contamination. DuPont has used the chemicai, also called PFOA or C8, at its Washington Works plant near Parkersburg, W.Va., for 50 years. Teflon is used to coat cookware and other products. ' Southeast Ohio and West Virginia residents living near the plant sued the company in 2001 , claiming the chemical had gotten into their drinking water and posed a health risk.

Waxman satd Manfred's letter on Monday satd "there were unresolved dtsputes" with 13 ot the 96 postttve tests tn 2003 He satd that tf all the posttl ves were accurate, there were 73 for nandrolone, 26 for stanozolol , etght for elevated testosterone, five for boldenone, three tor methandrostenolone and one for clenbuterol Some tests include postttves for more than one substance. Manfred sa1d baseball did not have results from "for cause" tests gtven to players smce 1990 because they went directly to doctors He satd those results also are protected by doctor-pauent privi lege Contents of Manfred's letter were first posted on the Web site of The New York Times, and a copy of the letter later was obtained by the AP In a letter from baseball lawyer Stan Brand to the committee, sent Tuesday and also obtained by the A P, Brand stated "the courts have made it clear that educatmg the public about steroids is not a valid congressional functton " Brand sull wants all players excused. "Thts is not a law enforcement agency, thts ts a leglslauve forum ." he said. "Why have them respond to tnnuendo and half-truths? It is to me the epttome of a leglslatt ve heanng that shouldn ' t be ." · Al so Tuesday, baseball chtef operaung officer Bob DuPuy sent a letter to teams asktng them not to respond to a survey on the steroid situation sent by a pubhcatton.

Ben Mar ·Construction of Jackson received the general contract on the project with iis low bid of $130,200. Otner bids accepted, all low in their. respective specialties, were Capital Window and Glass of Belleview; $33, 153; BenMar, plumbing, $27 ,600; ,Pleasant Air Healing and Cooling of Parkersburg, heating and air eonditioning, $30,000; and Portland Electric of Oak Hill , electrical, $39,555. The total project came in at $260,508, well below the estimated cost of $355,000. The nearly 20 bids on the renovation were opened Friday and reviewed before being pre· sented to · the board Wednesday night. Superintendent William Buckley said that the expectation is that the work will begin in April and be finished in August so that the office transi- · tion can be completed in September. Currently, the board is paying $500 a month in rent to the Village of Pomeroy for the second-floor offices in the municipal building. Most of the cost of the ren· ovation will be paid with the balance of funds generated by the permanent improvements levy which went off the tax ballot in December.

Meigs County Schools stand to receive increased funding BY. BETH SERGENT But Brown quickly drew interest from other ·teams, including the Redskins. Washington' is in need of a pass-rushing end, having relied heavily on linebackers and ·cornerbacks for many of their sacks last season. Brown was also a teammate at Penn State with Redskins linebacker LaVar Arrington, the No. 2 overall pick in 2000. If Washington acquires Brown, the team will have the top three picks from that draft: Brown, Arrington and tackle Chris Samuels. But 'Brown also represents a gamble because .he hasn't played a full season since his rookie year. He has missed 33 games with injuries over the past four seasons, including the final 14 games last year after tearing a ligament in his foot. .
