He assen'i this was the motivation behind Bush's temporary steel import quotas, his signing an exorbitantly expensive farm biU and his supponing a $400 billion Medicare - Claudia Roush prescription drug bill. And, Democmts allege, it's the motivation behind .Bush's proposing to give work permits to illegal immigrants. most of whom are Latino. Bush carried 35 percent of the Latino vote in 2000. and aide's calculate that he needs 40 percent in 4004 to ensure victory. A new poll by the Pew Hispanic Center, conducted before Bush's immigration announcement. shows that Bush's approval rating is 54 percent aumng Latinos and that 38 percent would support him against 47 percent for an unnamed Democrat. If Bush can win significant suppon from Hisptinics. it ~Viii increase his chances of capturing political guru Karl Rove's prize target, California, sometimes likened to Captain Ahab's white whale, Moby Dick. Bush spent precious time late in the 2000 campaign in Califomia, but lost it by II points. This year, top Bush c~mpaign officials indicate they still think California can be grabbed. especially since the e lection of GOP Gov. AmtJid Schwarzenegger.

Ironically, Limbaugh's broadcast lamentations are likely only to anger prosecutors and make political intervention more dangerous to potential allies. If he weren't such a big crybaby, he'd be well-advised to shut up and lei his lawyer do the talking. Pete Rose's public hissy fit appears far more likdy to get him what he wants, which is money and a plaque iil the Baseball Hall of Fame. Purely on the basi s of his record on the field, few players have ever deserved it more . . Rose's career record of 4,256 base hits over 24 years will cenainly never be broken in my lifetime, maybe never. For the uninitiated. 'Charlie Hustle' was the nickname bestowed upon him by future Hall of Famers Mickey Mantle and Whitey Ford after watching the Cincinnati Reds infielder doing his mad chipmunk act during spring training in 1963 - running out bases on balls, reckless headfirst slides and hyper-aggressive play. Intended derisively, it became a proud trademark. - Many fans idolized Rose's manic style. To others, his career vividly refuted the naive idea that winning ballgames has 11nything to do with character. My late father and I used to argue about him. Dad, who also loved the racetrack, couldn't get enough of Rose's pugnacity. He never lived to see the disgrace Rose made of himself after he quit playing, began gambling on baseball working as manager for the Reds (absolutely forbidden after the 1919 Chicago 'Black Sox' colluded with bookies to fix the World Series), then brazenly lied about it for 14 years even after being confronted by irrefutable evidence. He even lied about it in his autobiography, written with the brilliant baseball writer Roger Kahn. Now Charlie Hustle ha,s a new book to hustle, admits, he ' lied, · and, like Limbaugh, wants us to feel sorry for him. ' He whines that 'baseball had no fancy rehab for gamblers like they do for drug addicts.' He expects us to believe that he never wagered against his own team, and I do, becaus~ no bookie would be dumo enough to take that bet. Making third party bets on games he cou ld influence would have gotten hi.> legs broken. Rose's other angle is lhe hope sportswriters will vote him into the Hall of Fame before his eligibility passes to the veteran's committee, which prob.ably wouldn't. My view? Vote him in. It's a baseball museum, not a cathedral. But let his plaque record that he gambled on baseball, and was banished pennariently from the game. .

SPRINGFIELD, (AP) - KB Toys became the second major casualty of the holiday toy price wars, filing Wednesday for bankruptcy protection and announcing it will close up to 500 stores. The privately held retailer, which has about I ,300 stores mostly in shopping malls, blamed heavy pricecutting by giant discounters, primarily Wal-Mart, which began reducing prices on hot toys like Hokey Pokey Elmo in October, several weeks earlier than in past Christmas seasons. "It was brutal," KB Toys chief executive Michael Glazer said, noting that sales were down double digits this past season. The Chapter II federal bankruptcy filing will enable KB to keep operating while working on a financial reorganization. The ' chain, which accounts for about 4 percent to 5 percent of the U.S . toy business and employs about 1~ .000 people, said it hopes to emerge from bankruptcy protection before the 2004 holiday season. In early December, FAO lnc. , owner of the famed FAO Schwarz toy _stores, filed for Chapter II for the second time . , Toys "R" Us, the nation's second-largest toy retailer behind Wai-Mart, also suffered this past holiday season. Earlier this month, it said its overall sales rose less than I percent for the critical . period, and that sales at U.S . stores open more than a year fell almost 5 percent. Glazer said the exact number of store closi ngs depends on landlords' flexi. bility in offering lower rents.

Mularkey·expected to spark offense BY Boa MATUSZAK Associaied Press ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. - The Buffalo Bills hope Mike Mularkey can spark their stagnant offense. Mularkey was hired as the 13th coach in franchise history Wednesday, his first head coaching job after ro years as an assistant. He will be officially introduced as coach of the Bills at a news ..conference scheduled for Thursday afternoon. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Both Mulhrkey and president and general manager Tom Donahoe were unavailable for comment until the news conference. , At 42, Mularkey wilr be one of the youngest head coaches in the NFL. He , spent the last three j'cars as Pittsburgh 's offensi\'e coor. dinator. MulaFkey replaces Gregg Williams, fired after a disappointing 6-10 season. Mularkey has ties to Donahoe dating to 1996, when the Steelers wfth Donahoe in the front' office hired Mularkey to be thei; tight ends coach. Over the last three years, Mularkey has ,built a stron g reputation for having a ereative .offensive mind, one uf the things the Bills were searching for in a new coach . Under Mularkey, the Steelers' offense runked in the lop live two of the last three seasons. The Sleelers slipped to 22nd this season. Mularkey was one of seven candidates, including former Giants coach Jim Fass"el and Bears coach Dick Jauroo, to interview for the job. Williams went 17-31 in three seasons with the Bills. Buffalo finished 3- 13 and 88 in his first two seasons. Mularkey met with Donahoe last week before' flying to Detroit to meet owner Ralph Wilson on Tuesday. "With all the experience that Mr. Donahoe and Mr. ·Wilson have, they certai~ly know what they are domg better,tiJan anybody m the NFL. Btl\s r~~e1ver Etic Moulds said.

Moulds, hampered by a sore groin for most gf the season., caught 64 passes after setting a fr·anchise record with I00 receptions in 2002. Quarterback , Drew Bledsoe end11red one of the worst seasons of hi s 11 -year career, throwing for II touchdown s, his fewest since 2001 . when he played in only two games for New England. Much of the blame fell on offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride. who handled the play· ca!Ting. · Mularkey replaced Gilbride in Pittsburgh . No dec ision has been announced about whether Gi !bride will remain ,on the Buffalo staff.• Bledsools final appearance with the Patriots be fo re bei ng traded to Buffalo was against the Steelers in the 2001 AFC championship game, Mul~rkey's hrst year as Pill sburgh's offensive coordinator. Bledsoe replaced an injured Tom Brady in the· second quarter and engineered three scori ng drives in the Patriots' 24- I 7 Win . In 200 I, Mularkey helped quarterback Kordell Stewart have. one or his best seasons as a pro. Stewart completed more than 60 percent of his passes and threw for 14 touchdowns, and the Steelers became the NFL's top-ranked rushing team. The following season, Mularkey helped quarter· back Tommy Maddox rejuvenate his career. Maddox , who earned MVP honors iri the now-defunct XFL in 200 I, threw 20 touchdown passes in leading the Steelers into the playoffs, where they lost to Tennessee. The Bill s hope Mularkey can help Bledsoe. too.

NEW YORK lsiah Thomas pulled off a shocker on a bizarre day even by New York Knicks standards, firing Don Chaney and his two top assistants Wednesday and hiring Lenny Wilkens as head coach . The 66-year-old Wilkens .is the NBA leader in career coaching victories and losses. "I think he' s a perfect fit,." Thomas said. Chaney and assistant s Brendan Malone and Lon Kruger rece ived the news after arriving at Madison Square Garden late in the afternoon. "I' m not here today to point out negative thing s about Don or our former coaching staff." said Thomas, who also considered himself, Chuck . Daly and Mike Fratello for the job. ·'At the end. of the day I thought Lenny would be the better man for the job." The coaching change represented the second major move of Thomas ' fren zied tenure since replacing team president Scott Layden late last month. Thomas has turned over nearly half the roster and .a majority of the coac hing staff. acquiring an All-Star in Stephon Marbury and a Hall of Famer in Wilkens.

He was tired by Toronto at the end of last season . "With the change th is afternoon. I'm just st ill shocked and surpri sed that it went down ,'' Knicks forw ard Kurt Thomas said . "Don handled this like he handles everything - superb." Chaney pul the team through its morning shootaround after reading ill· the Daily News that he would be replaced by Fratello, who · later released a statemem saying he had no agreement · "i n place."

"With any free agent. you wonder how he's going to fit in. There's always questions at frrst. He answered those right away," linebacker Tedy Bruschi said. "I think, from Day l, he's established himself as a force with big hits."

"Without hearing anylhmg one way or another IS a sign of disrespect to a degree," Chaney said. Before speaking w1th the media. the grim-faced trio of Chaney, Kruger and Malone huddled near a bank of exercise cycles. Meanwhile, a group of several developmental coaches, mcluding Thomas-1mports .

"They're the best team we've played all year and they're con terence champions. They have somethmg we want." Marquette practiced its ·offense against seven defenders to get ready for Cincinnati's pressure. It mattered little as the Golden Eagles had trouble With the Bearcats' tall, athletic players most of the game. "We were our own worst enemy against the press," Marquelle coach Tom Crean said. "We didn't strike first. They did." Cincmnatl used a 14-4 run to take a 50-35 lead on Field Williams' 3-pointer with 12.23 left. After a timeout, Marquette used full-court pressure to cause tw.o turnovers on defense, and the Golden Eagles scored seven consecutive points, capped by Scott Merritt's two free throws, to pull withm 50-42 wtth I0:08 to go. Bobbitt, though, scored seven points m the next 2 1/2 minutes, including a 3-pointer with 7:30 left, as Cincmnati opened a 62-48 lead. Marquette fouled in the closmg minutes, and the Bearcats mis~ed nine of 21 free throws in\ the final 6:04 to allow the Gqlden Eagles to stay within striking distance.

"What we call luck is the inner man eKternalized. We make things happen 10 us.' II is usually true that we make our own luck- as was 1he case on this deal. !rom a high·stakes rubber-bridge game in Sydney, Australia. SittiniJ South was Tim Seres , one of the world 's best-ever players. When his part· ner passed as dealer and he had only three points, he was unhappy. Then. when Wes1 jumped to three no-1rump, Seres was wondering what to lead. He was leaning toward a club because partner would need fewer values there to generate five tricks. But this would have been fatal. Declarer wotJid have set up three club tricks white having the other suits under control. Suddenly, !hough, Nor!h, Lionel Hovey. doubled three no-trump to ask for a spade lead - the lirs1 surt bid by !he dummy. A spade s1arl would have been successful if - and i!'s a big "if" - North wins trick one. cashes the heart ace, and continues with the heart jack. (Declarer will cash out for two down. From North's initial pass, South will be marked with the club king .) However, West increased 11-,e stakes by redoubl ing. Seres. feeling this was too rich, ran to fot.Jr hearts. West doubled, ol course. Declarer ruffed the diamond lead. played a spade to dummy's queen, and called ·lor 1he club !wO. The delense could· n't stop an overtrick!

POMEROY The Pomeroy Tax Board recO!Umends that Pomeroy Village Council . make some changes to the tax code which will close a few loopholes and bring the village ·in line with other municipalities. Pomeroy has a one percent income tax which applies to anyone who works ,in the village. · "A ll we are doing is modernizing the tax code to make it more uniform with everyone else," said Je<fn Durst, Pomeroy Tax Administrator. When the Tax Board met in December, it recommended eliminating a loophole that allows business losses to be deducted from earned wages. For instance, if a person made $50,000 a year as an attarney but lost $10,000 a year in rental income, that person could deduct those losst;s from earned wages and pay taxes only on $40,000. If Council approves changing the tax code.• that same attorney would pay taxes on earned income ($50,000) and any gains made from rental property - no losses would be deducted. · "If they · make money, then they should pay their fair share," said Durst. The Tax Board wants to eliminate a loophole that allows businesses to carry forward any losses. Under the current rules, if a business owner has a loss the previous year (and pays no taxes), t~at person can carry the loss over and use it to offset any gains made in the present year. For instance; a business owner who declared a net carryover loss of $10,000 last year can apply it to $50,00 gains made this year and be taxed on $40,000. The Tax Board wants to eliminate this carryover loophole so that the busi- Plellse see Tax.
