DEAR ABBY: I have been married for more than 20 years. My wife and I have been friends with a certain couple, "Claude and Maude ," for 15 years. On New Year's Eve we all went out to dinner and a few drinks. I was the designated driver, so I did not drink. When we re turn ed home, all three, my wife , Claude and Maude, proceeded to get trashed to the max. Maude got sick and passed out; my wife went to ·bed. Claude and I sat up and watched the ball drop and a couple of other programs. I fell asleep about I :30 a.m . and assumed that Claude would, too. Around 2:00 a.m .. I got out of my chair and walked to my bedroom. Claude was si tting on the bed next to my wife, putting hi s pants on. My wife was passed out, so I don 't know what happened. It has bothered me so much si nce then that I can ' t sleep and don ' t know what to do . If ever there was a reason for me to become violent, that was it, but I kept my cool. The next morning, my wife cou ld remember nothing at all.

She said she couldn't sleep at night for fear her husb<1nd would divorce her when he found out. You were right that a credit counseling agency can provide valuable assistance, but she needs to be careful which one she selects. The Internal Revenue Service oversees many credit counseling agencies because they are tax-exempt. We have received an increasing number of complaints that some of these agencies charge high fe es, offer poor repayme nt plans, and provide Iittle in the way of education and counseling. We have ~tepped up our audits of credit . counseling agencies and, where warranted, will revoke their tax exemption. In addition, we have issued a consumer alert with the Federal Trade Commission and state regulators, warning consumers to check carefull y before signing up with a particular program.

When the NFL's best are playing !'or nothing but pride and a millionaire 's pittance in prize money, they still hate to lose . "The other guys told me ahead of time, once the fourth quarter gets here , it's going to be competitive," said Johnson, who finished with five catches for 156 yards. The veterans were correct. By the time the NFC wrapped up a 55-52 victory on Sunday, Johnson's catch was a mere footnote in the highest-scoring Pro Bowl in history - one th at was dominated by new comers who weren ' t interested in a laid-back Hawaii8\J vacation . MVP Marc Bulger threw a Pro Bowl-record four TD passes, and Detroit' s Ore' Bly returned an interception 32 yards for the goahead score with 4:50 to play during the NFC's rally from an 18-point deficit in the final 13 minutes. Peyton Manning set a handful of offensive records, while Bulger masterminded a phenomenal comeback. ' " It' s going to be tough to match. if I make it back in the future," said Bulger, who didn 't play until the second half. The next wave of NFL talent crashed ashore in Honolulu during a thrilling ga me that featured everything from a 42-point fourth quarter to a pivotal miss on a 51-yard fieldgoal attempt by the onceperfect Mike Vanderjagt. When the drama finally ended along with the game, several of the 41 new guys at the league's all-star game had great storie s to tell - a nd the N FC members had $35,000 apiece. First-timers ~ccounted for nearly half of the 86 players in uniform. and they scored 70 points. "You ' re seeing so me young guys that are rea lly, really talented ," AFC coach Tony Dungy sa id.

They '· r~rely spoke and even avoided eye contact during the NASCAR season. Now they ' re partners in an engine-building program, and each of the longtime team owners has a dri'• ver qualified on the front • row for the Daytona 500. Roush driver Greg Birtle , . was the surpri sing pole : . winner Sunday. Taking the • · outside ol' the front row for ' the race next Sunday was .; Elliott Sadler. Their Fords did a better job against a strong headwind that made others falter on the backstretch at Daytona International Speedway. Like everybody else, , Biffle didn ' t expect his Roush Racing Taurus to be on the pole for the Daytona 500. "I was sweatin~ it out and · · I'm still half s1ck to my stomach," Bift1e said after a nerve-rack ing wait of nearly an hour while a succession of NASCAR Nextel Cup stars took a shot at knocking the second ·year driver off the pole. Nobody could. After taking the Pepsi 400 here in July - the only rookie in NASCAR 's top division to win a race in 2003 - the former Busch and Craftsman Truck series champion got his first pole in 43 tries in Cup competition. "I would have never thought we'd be on the pole for the 500, but I'm excited," Biffle said. Biffle's fast lap of 188.387 mph was just good enough to push Sadler's 188.355 to the outside of the front row for the Nextel Cup season-opener. Biffle got around the 2 112-mile oval in 47.774 seconds, just 0.008 seconds faster than Sadler. The unexpected head wind on the backst retch with gusts to 20 mph played havoc with just aboureverybody's expectations. It ·also put a premium on engine power, playing ri!;lhl into the hands of Biftle . Sadler and the rest of the drivers using the eng ines produced by the 2 112month-old alliance of Roush and Yates . ·'We've been taking things apart and seeing how they work and just putting the best of both together." said Roush . who won last year 's Cup championship with Mat.t Kenseth. The res ult has been a big jump in power. and drivers using th e Roush- Yate s engines qualified in four of the top fi ye position s Sunday. "The Taurus is a much improved car over what it was last year, we've got a great engme program gomg and Greg did a great job with the car," Roush said. Dale Earnhardt Jr .. the favorite in every event he enters at Daytona these days, missed the front row with his lap of 188.210 and will determine his starting spot in the 43-car 500 field by racing in one of Thursday's twin 125-mile qualifying events. "We just weren't fast enough," said Earnhardt, second to Dale Jarrett in Saturday night's made-forTV Budweiser Shootout on the same track. "We're going to go out and try to win our 125-miler, like we did last year." Sadler, the fastest in Friday 's practice, sat on the pole for about an hour until Biffle made his run. "Our car is fast , but the wind just killed us," Sadler said. "It's just unbelievable horsepower we 've h.ad since we unloaded.1 I'm so proud of our guys.

I' m a winner. I wanted to win and I wasn't sure if this was the place." James said the Cavaliers' hiring of coach Paul Silas. offseason acquisitions and some recent trades have changed his mind. "We all get along now. There isn' t anybody on the team that doesn 't like each other. I think we can do something great. That's what we all year and it seems to be payIng off.

Michael Waltrip, the defending 500 champion and winner of two of the last three February races here, qualified 13th, with 2003 series runner-up Jimmie Johnson 14th. Except for Jarrett, none of the former Cup champions among the 45 qualifiers fared very well .

Twice the Ohio · High School Athletic Association investigated whether he accepted gifts that endangered hi s amateur status. James was declared ineligible after receiving two "throwback" jerseys before a judge reinstated him. " It was a big deal to .the Ohio High School Athletic Association.

They wanted to see someone else win because people were tired of us." While James is pleased with the Cavaliers, he couldn' t predict whether his career will take him to anoiher NBA ci'ty.

When the <~ hellacking was finished in the second frame, Eastern had galloped to a 19- 10 deficit in the frame en rout to a 30-19 tally at the half. . River Valley made some adjustments at the intermission and played a more controlled tempo.

Dividends are "qualified dividends" if paid by U.S. corporations and certain foreign corporations. Because the tax rates for dividends were made retroactive to Jan. I, 2003, taxpayers avoid the confusion of a midyear rate change. But those who purchased dividend-paying stocks during the year will have to double check that they held the stock for lhe appropriate amount of time to qualify for the lower rate. · To be eligible for the lower rate, the shareholder must hold the stock for more than 60 days during the 120-day period that began 60 days before the exdividend date , the first day a stockholder would not qualify for that dividend payment Since the holding period starts the day afler the purchase date, a stock bought on the day before the exdividend date cannot meet the morethan-60 day requiremenl for the first dividend payment 10 qualify foi the lower tax rate. Generally, a buyer can obtain the ex-dividend date from a brokerage or a company's investor relations services. Ther,e's one wrinkle for margin account holders whose brokerages temporarily lend !heir stock to others, a practice com mon among brokers. Any dividends paid oul during the time the stock is on loan go to the borrowers, who then reimburse the stock owners. The payments received by the slock owne rs technically aren 't dividends. They're known as a "payments in lieu of dividends," and they're nol eligible for the lower rate. This year, recognizing that some brokers may need more time to ad~pt to the new law, the IRS is letting taxpayers who receive Forms I 099-DIV erroneously reporting such payments as dividend income to treat them as dividends, unless the taxpayer knows that they are not actual dividends. All of these complications overlap when il comes 10 mutual funds , which may report a mix of capital gain distribulions. dividends and interest payments. Taxpayers whose only gains or losses are the capital gain distributions from their mutual funds may avoid Schedule D entirely by using a special worksheet in the Form I040 or I040A instruction books. The IRS has revised this worksheet to inc:lude the lower tax rates on qualified dividends. In all of these cases, taxpayers can expect to rely heavily on information provided by their brokers and financial institutions, or in IRS Publication 550, still being updated . Taxpayers should keep good records themselves, 70 180 t33 Wheeling Atlantic City 32 11 3 67 155 93 Peoria 26 12 B Johnstown Reading 26 15 5 24 15 7 Trenton Cincinnati 2217 5 60 13511 4 57 126115 55 13811 7 49129115 20 26 3 43 125 133 19 23 5 43 127 147 18 26 4 40 119 Southern Division Columbia Greensboro Florida South Carolina Charlene RoanoKe Florence Greenville W l T 3D 28 24 27 24 22 t7 7 5 14 20 19 16 19 21 22 34 ~ 9 2 6 5 6 4 ~81 PlsGFGA 65 190 149 57 57 56 54 49 40 18 ~ 61 167 1 18 143 167 159 1 ~0 190 170 166 130 150 142 131 WESTERN CONFERENCE Central Division W l T PtsGFGA louisiana Mississippi Gwinnett Columbus Pensacola 33 12 2 29 14 6 27 ~6 4 26 19 4 24 16 6 68 64 58 56 54 4 66 ~47114 17 23 6 15 27 3 12 30 5 40 ~30 137 33 110159 29 ~ 24 194 Salurdly't Games Peoria at Johnstown, ppd .. weather Atlantic City 5, Reading 2 Gwinnett 4.

The new information source, called 1040 Central , aims to link taxpayers tu detailed information aqfl answer their most common questions. It's available on the IRS home page, and it gathers items from throughout the Web site that can best help individuals filing the common Form l 040 tax form s. This year, taxpayers can expect to have many questions about new tax laws and tax breaks enacted last summer. Reduced rates on capital gains and dividends, in . particular, have added a layer of complexity to forms used by investors. Most taxpayers get packages' of tax forms and instructions from the IRS in early January. The IRS expects to .receive 131 million returns in 2004,60 million of them tiled electronically. Taxpayers who filed their taxes through computer in previous years will not receive the traditional package. They can expect to receive a brochure that explains electronic filing and the identification program used for paperless filing. Some taxpayers with simple returns may be able to file by telephone. TRS officials say electronic filing, when combined with the direct deposit of a refund into a taxpayer's bank account, speeds refunds to taxpayers in as few as lO ·days. The average time is about 14 'days. In 2003, more than 44 million refunds were deposited directly intQ taxpayers' bank accounts . Taxpayers filing the traditional way can wait up to six weeks for a refund. The IRS also can quickly check for mathematical mistakes and other common errors on electronically filed returns, reducing the chance your tax return will be sent back to you 'to fix an error. For the second ¥ear, the' IRS will make electronic filing programs ~vailable to some ·taxpayers free through ltts Web site. Companies participating in fbe Free File Alliance set the guidelines for taxpayers tq use their programs without charge. The IRS will send 34 milliqn tax packages and nearly 28 million cdp:tputer fil-. mg brochures this year. The ~ffort costs $7.5 m'illion to print and $121million to mail, and average cost of 31 cents per package. Taxpayers should use the na\ ' e labels included in the mailed package on their tax retu'rns. They will have to dd their Social Security numbers·.

MIDDLEPORT Middleport Council voted Monday evening to disband the elected Board of Public Affairs, and agreed to hire a village administrator to oversee the village's water and sewer operations. Following two prior readings of an ordinance eliminating the board in favor of a paid village employee to be hired and overseen by counci l, members of village council voted 4-1 -l to approve the change. Council President Stephen Houchins and members Roger Manley, Robert Robinson and Kathy Scott voted in favor of the ordinance, Robert Pooler voted against it, and Laurie Reed, who attended her first meeting last night. abstained from the vote. Houchins spoke on behalf of council members in favor of the elimination of the BPA, in response to questions from Jean Craig; who, in 1999,, brought to light many of the issues which led to the BPA's re-creation. "I have never been for a Board of Public Affairs," Houchins said. "Council eliminated the position of a village administrator at a time when It should have eliminated an employee ."
