The first section of the docks was completed with an ODNR grant of $328,000 in 200 I, secured under the lead· ership of Mayor John Musser. who was then project director for the village. It consists of 360 feet of I0 foot wide se lf-supporting boat docking along the lower parking lot wall. Applications for add itional funding to complete all three additional phases of the same project- docking above and below the levee with handi· capped ramps at both ends, a pp~ox imate ly $986,000 made by the village in 2002 and 2003 were not granted. Applications for a portion of the 2004 total allocation are being taken through April I by the Department of Natural Resources. Musser s~id that the village will ap ply tor about $250,000 which would provide funding to construct another 90 feet of docking below that completed in 200 I and a handicapped ramp on the outside of the par~ing lot wall. 'To ac hieve the proper elevation, the ramp which would extend from the river to West Main would have to zigzag up the hill," said the mayor.

He asked "what was up" with all the "unfort unate women and their out-of-wedlock pregnancies and bad relationships" and said that men don't have these problems.

Across tile board, restaurants are looking for new bases for meals to replace pasta. said Christopher Muller, a professor at the University of Central Florida's Rosen School of Hospitality Management. Muller's own Za-Bistro in Orlando ·and nearby Maitland. shuns pasta without marketing itself as low-carb. "Pasta is a very high markup item for restaurants, and it 's also high value for the customer because you get big portions of good-tasting food," he said. "Now we · ve had to find ways to substitute that." Za-Bistro has solved the problem in part by allowing customers to add salmon, chicken and shrimp to salads to make a full meal. Zagat said · restaurants need to remain · fl exible enough to also serve people on lowfat diets. , And, he noted, there will always be those who. break their diets when they· re out on the town, as he did after coming face to face with the cakes at the famed Commander's Palace in N~w Orleans.

It make' all the differeoce m their foreign policy views. While a valiant. decorated combatant. Kerry entered P>lblic life condemning the Vietnam War, and his careerlong record is one of opposition to uses of American force and the weapons systems needed to can-y them out. Bush, as he nplained once again 011 NBC's 'Meet the Press' on Sund .. y, has been ·a war presidem' ever since terrorists attacked the World Tr;Hle Center and th~ Pentagon on his watch. ·Every threat had to be rean.,lyzed,' he said, referring to Iraq and Saddam Hussein. ·Every potential had to be JUdged in the context of thi s war on terrorism. ...

The evidence suggests that Bu'h may feel some responsibility. even guil t. for not doing/ enough to counter AI Qaedtl before Sept. I I, 200 I. Certain lv, terrorism had no _great priority. There was no ·war· against it. Despite Bush's claim to Tim Russe1t that ·he is fully cooperating with the commis· sion inv~stigating Sept. II , the panel's members are so frustrated with White House roadblocks that they have considered issuing subpoenas. This suggests that Bush is deeply embarrassed at what they mtght find. ETTP., Morton . Kondracke " But once Sept. I I happened, Bush's whole presidency was transformed. He lx;gan to 'worst c~se' world threats. Every intelligence service in the world believed that Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. Former Bill Clinton President believed it Even Kerry believed it And. Bush assumed it was only a matter of time before Hussein would use his WMD again. possibly by handing weapons off to terrorists. So, the pres1dent decided that Hussein had to be toppled. To sell the country on that course, it now appears, he and his aides 'cherry-picked ' and exaggerated the intelligence. playmg up the Iraqi threat and ignoring contrary claims. Democrats and the anti-war media now are making much of a Defense Intelligence Agency warning that there was 'no reliable information whether Iraq is producing and stockpiling chemical weapons.' But they are cherry-picking, too. The abundance of the evidence was that a WMD arsenal existed. And so, Bush took the country to war, belit~ving it was 'a war of necessity.' Was it the right course? Ultimately, the answer depends upon whether the United States can turn Iraq into a stable, semidemocratic · country, or @ ... 00'/- f'<>I<."T ..,~ ~-'11<•EC··- Kerry~s SChool.News Vietnam Contest winners whether it casc ~ Jes into civil war and chaos. The chances_ are, Amencan s will not know for sure before the election whether Bush's risky advenfure will end . well or badly. They'll have to choose between a 'war president' and an 'ami-war· challenger. There seems little question that, had Kerry's policy views prevailed, Hussein would still be in power - in fact, he would have scored a strategic defeat over the United States and might have resumed producing WMD. While Kerry v.ore~ to authorize Bush to go to war after Kerry dehvered a speech brimming with assertions that Iraq had WMD and ~·epresent ed.

Referring to his Vietnam experience, Kerry told the Senate on Oct. 9, 2002. that 'I know what it means to fight in a war where (public) consent is lost, where allies are in short supply, where conditions are hostile and the mission is ill-detined.' Under the scenario likely to have unfolded under K,erry policy, United Nations inspectors. of course, would never have found WMD in Iraq. France, Germany and other countries would , never have agreed to the use of force. Bush would have had to pull back I00,000 troops massed on Iraq's border. Thereafter, France and Russia would have resumed efforts to lift sanctions on Iraq. Bush would have lost the confrontation. And Hussein would have won. Is this the right course in the age of terrori sm? It may be diffic ult for voters _to know fQr _sure· _right now, but there seems little question that Kerry's Vietnam, based experience has led him to wrong choices in"'the past. . He voted against the first Per~ ian Gulf War in 1991 even though Iraq had invaded a neighbor. the U.N. Security Council l.~d voted to force a withdrawal and Bush's father had formed ,a multinational alliance to carry it out In the 1980s. Kerry backed the nuclear freeze movement, which wou ld have permiued the Soviet Union to retain missile dominance .in Europe. In 1984, Kerry declared in a re-election campaign statement that ' Americans feel more threatened by · the prospect of war, not less so' after the Reagan administration's defense buildup. He recommended cutting $45 billion to $53 billion from the delense budget and vowed to ·cancel' the MX missile, the B- 1 bomber, the Tomahawk crui se m1ssJie, the Apache heliwpter, the Patriot missile and four tighter aircraft programs. , So. does America choose a president this year who can't get over Vietnam'? Or one Who can't get over Sept. I I? Domestic choices and character choices ..have to be made, too, but surely more voters now share Bush's trauma than Kerry's.

In a recent report, ·'Better Now Than later: Tightening the USA Patriot Act,' Steve Lilienthal, the Foundation's director of the Center for Privacy and Technology Policy, details bipartisan. bills now in the Se1iate that do not repeal any part of the Patriot Act, bl}t do limit some of its language that imperils a numc ber of our fundamental liberties. lie cites Alaska Republican Sen. Lisa · Murkowski's Protecting the Rights of Individuals Act which, Lilienthal writes, 'revises the Patriot Act to ensure a higher standard of judicial oversight, and accou'ntability to Congress.' .Another vital sec- tion of the bill, which has bipartisan Senate 'suppon, is its 'modification of the defini- Nat Hentoff lion of domestic terrorism.' A summary of this proposed law explains: 'The USA Patriot Act provide~ a new definition for domestic terrorism. covering any act dangerous to human life that is a violation of any federal or state criminal Jaw, including misdemeanors. This could be broadly mterpreted to designate typical political protestors engaged in civ_il disobedience as 'terrorists." This loose language should be rewritten, says Lilienthal, 'to ensure political ' activ'ists exercising their legitimate First AmendmeQt rights cannot be targeted by overzealous bureaucrats or a future administration. That was something that responsible members of Congress never intended when they passed the Patriot Act in 200 I.' So,. instead of defining domestic terrorism as violating any federal or state law, including 11:1isdemean.ors, Murkowski's .Protecting the Rights of Individuals Act would modify and narrow the Patriot Act's definition of domestic terrorism, The revised definiiion · would cover 'orily activities that ·- . involve acts dangerous to human life that are a federal crime of terrorism as already detined in the United States Code.' Thereby, this proposed statute would prevent 'antiabortion and anti war protestors being labeled 'terrorists." Another section of this bill that would tighten the language of the Patriot. Act to insure our being both safe and free, 'limits the FBI's ability to look at sensitive, personal information including library and Internet records without some specific suspicion.' Many Americans do not know that - as the summary of the Protecting the Rights of Individuals Act emphasizes - 'under the Patriot Act, the FBI can get a secret court order to reqi1ire any business - including libraries, bookstores, hospitals and Internet providers - to turil over entire databases of personal information so long as the FBI asserts the information is 'sought for' an antiterrorism or counterintelligence investigation. A standard of review that effectively results in a judicial rubber stamp. ' 'The Protecting the Rights of Individuals Act,' says Murkowsk:i, 'requires the FBI to submit some minimal evidence that the person whose· records are sought is a suspected terrorist before it can get a coul't order to search per· sonal, sensitive files.' At pre· sent, this is not required. 'And, for material protected ' by the First Amendment, such as library and bookstore records, the FBI must meet the Constitution's 'probable cause' standard to obtain the information.' The safeguards of individual liberties in this bill should be known to all Americans, but so far the media has largely overlooked Murkowski's crucial legislation, while gi ving such ample space to Janet Jackson's Super Bowl revelation and her brother Michael's · travails. It is not enough to say, as the Patriot Act currently does, that 'such investigation of a United States person is not conducted solely on the basis of activities protected by the First Amendment.' For American citizens, under the Bill of Rights, this is not nearly a sufficient guarantee against government overreaching as it would be if the -FBI were required to adhere to the Fourth Amendment's guarantee of 'probable cause' before searching our records.

Women who took the most- antibiotics - who had more than 25 prescriptions. or who took the drugs for at least 50 I days - faced double the risk of developing breast cancer over an average of about I 7 years, com~ared with women who didn t use the drugs, the study showed. The authors said more research is needed because it could have been the diseases women used antibioti<;s to treat - rather than the drugs themselves that increased breast cancer risk. Also, since antibiotics are widely used to treat a variety of common infections caused by bacteria, includIng strep throat, some pneumonias and many gas_trointestinal infections, it may be that women who never took the drugs were unusually healthy and therefore unusually resistant to cancer, the researchers said. "It's very premature for people to stop taking antibiotics when they're needed,'' said lead · author- Christine Velicer, researcher at Group Health Cooperaii ve, a large nonprofit health plan in · -western Washington . "Antibiotics havtl a substantial public health benefit.:' The results appear in W~dnesday's Journal of the a Press, 2003 ). OHV announces . repurchase plan American Medical Association ·and were released Monday. The study involvrd 2,266 women 20 and older who developed invasive breast cancer and who were compared with 7,953 women who did not get breast cancer. . An increased breast cancer risk was found with increasing use of antibiotics. with the greatest increased risk in women who took the drugs for at least 50 I days. Even Women who had up to 25 --prescriptions over about I 7 years faced an increased risk - about I .5 times higher than nonusers. · An increased breast cancer risk was found for all types of antibiotics , includ-· ing penicillins. A few theories might explain how antibiotics would lead to breast cancer. Velicer said. The (lledica· tions' effects on intestinal bacteria could -change the body 's immune system or how the body metabolizes foods that protect against cancer, she said. An JAMA editorial says the theorized link is potentially worrisome, since antibiotics are so commonly used - sometimes unnecessarily for conditions in whi_ch they are ineffective, including colds and other viruses.

Baseball's highest-paid player, and perhaps its most tale11ted, was tinally and officially dealt to the New York Yankees from Texas on Monday after commissioner Bud Selig approved the record-setting swap .. ''I'm pretty excited. This is a big, big one," Yankees owner George Steinbrenner said at the team 's minor league complex in Tampa, Fla. "It ranks with when we signed Reggie," he said. a reference to slugger Reggie · Jackson . Rodriguez, the first reigning MVP to be traded, will be introduced at the stadium on Tuesday, nanked by manager Joe Torre and Yankees captain Derek Jeter. who will keep his shortstop job. The 28-yearold A-Rod will shift to third base to fill the hole left when Aaron Boone wrecked a knee last month. Texas gets second baseman Alfonso Soriano and a minor league player to be named , but it will still have to pay $67 million of the $179 million Rodriguez is owed over the remainder of his deal. Steinbrenner and Yankees general manager Brian Cashman personally assured Texas Rangers shortstop Alex Rodriguez throws out Seattle Mariners' Rey Sanchez in the · Jeter that he would keep his seventh inning in this Sept. 9, 2003 photo at Safeco Field in Seattle. The American League position and that Rodriguez champions New York Yankees began preliminary discussions with the Texas Rangers this would switch to third week on a deal that would bring A-Rod to the Bronx for second baseman Alfonso Soriano, a where his only major league high-ranking baseball official said Saturday. (AP) experience is one inning dur- ing an All-Star game. "Derek 's response to me was he thinks this is pretty cool," said Cashman, who also said moving Jeter was "not a consideration whatsoever.n "You go with the man that brought you to the dance," he said. "You ' re going to stick with him. You don ' t mess with success .... There is no issue there- who's the starting quarterback? We have arguably the best left side of the infield in the history of baseball." Fervid Yankees fan and former mayor Rudolph Giuliani couldn't agree more. "It's gceat for the city. He's returning home," he told The Associated Press. 'This could be another variation of MarisMamie, Jackson-Munson, Gehrig-Ruth." Rodriguez, signed to a record $252 million , 10-year contract by the Rangers in December 2000, grew tired of Texas after three last-place finishes . He was born in the Washington Heights section of Manhattan,. not far from where Manny Ramirez grew up. just a few miles from Yankee Stadium. And even though .hi s father, Victor, closed hi s shoe store and moved the family to the Dominican Republic in 1979, his fondness for the city . remained. Rodriguez, whose family moved to Miami in 1983, often talked of watching the '86 Mets on television, of Plene see A-Rod, 16 Cincinnati coach tries a softer approach CINCINNATI (AP)- Cincinnati my confidence." "That's coach Huggs ," guard Bearcats coach Bob Hug~ins has long been known for criticizing his Tony Bobbitt said. "He can say players when he thinks they aren't whatever he wants to say. He 's the working hard enough. But after general." Sunday's loss at Wake Forest, With the Conference USAtournaHuggins is taking a diffe-rent ment and the NCAA tournament approach as his team prepares for a looming next month, Cincinnati challenging stretch dnve. faces plenty of challenges. This He dismissed as naysayers the ;.veek, the Bearcats play ··Alabamapeople who are 9uestioning his Birmingham (15 -6) and Louisville team 's heart or ab\hty to compete, (I 7-4). · "How many people in the country On · Jan. 21, Louisville knocked do you think would trade us at 17- Cincinnati from the unbeaten ranks 4 ?" Huggins said. "To me, it's with a 93-66 victory in Louisville. rather amusing that there's this Cincinnati , ranked . 13th last notion that we'·re in dire straits. If week,, built a 12-point lead in the we are down and out, I am not sure first half Sunday before then-No. · 20 Wake Forest recovered to take why that is." His players noticed the different the' lead for good late in the first · half en route to a 91-85 win over approach. "When have you ever seen losing Cincinnati. that helped?" forward Eric Hicks For the past three weeks, Hugg ins said. "Any loss for me doesn ' t help has. been saying that his players were too lazy to press, didn't care enough to work on their games after practice , couldn't play defense and weren't ve·ry good offensively. During that time, Cincinnati lost to unranked Charlotte and Xavier, · then struggled to beat Houston and South Florida. After the Bearcats' 80-67 victory last week over South Florida, Huggins blasted hi s players for lack of effort. "We've got those fat guys under the basket who don ' t get back, and it' s a 5-on-3," He said. "I've never had guys stand around and wat.ch in my life ... You can't press with guys that won' t run back on defense." . Huggins, in ~i s 15th season at Cincinnati, has often demanded that hi s players work harder. . When he wo11dered aloud Sunday about the doom-and-gloom view some have of hi s current team, he was reminded of his own recent criticisms. "I haven' t changed," Huggin s responded. "I want them to do right all the time . "I try to be honest. We didn't play very well against South Florida. Am I supposed to n,m in and do cartwheels and say how wonderful things are? I can't do that." Huggins preferred to see the brighter side on Sunday, noting that Bobbitt and backcourt mate Field Wi.lliams were productive from . 3pQtnt rang ll) after the Bearcats opened the game by shooting poorly from the floor. · "We had a stretch wh.ere we didn' t make shots." Huggins said. "Field hasn't made any shots, and a! the. end of the game Field made some shots: Tony made some shots. James White kind of broke out of his slump and 'started attacking the basket a little· bit better." �Tuesday, February 17, 2004 www.mydailysentinel.com ~ribune - •• • '" .. 2004 SOulheut Ohto Gl~l Basketball sectional Pairings Division I Central District at Westerville Central High School Tuesday February 17 Logan vs Westerv•lle South 6 15 p m Gahanna L•ncoln vs Worthington Kilbourne 8 p m TUelday February 24 Independence vs L-ogan/WS wmner 6 15 p m (winner adOJances to district tourna ment at Olentangy) Chillicothe vs G LIWK w•nner 8 p m (w1nner advances to d StriCt 1ournament at Olentangy) at A~uon Etlet H1gh School Wedneaday February 25 Marietta vs Akron Ellet 6 p m s.turday February 28 Wadsworth vs ManenaiAE w1nner 1 p m (winner ad\lances to d1stnct at Akron) Division II at Unrvers•ty of A o Grande Monday, February 16 V1nton County 52 Rock H1t1 39 Waverty 55 Aver Valley 43 Thursday, February 19 .., Gallla Academy vs Me1gs 6 15 p m (w1n '"' ner advances to d1stnct tournament at ,.

If your opponent opens one of a major and you overcall two of that maior, you show 5·5 or longer in the unbid major and either minor. (Partner, if uninterested in your major, bids two no-trump to ask for your minor.) Here is another Michaels deal. But fi rst, if you would li ke to test your declarer-play, look only at tl1e North-South ha nds. Against four hearts, West cashes the club ace and cont inues with the club king. How should South co ntinue from !here? Even over Wesl's strength-showing takeout doubte. who would bid less than game with that North hand? (Yes, maybe East should sacrifice. Five clubs doubled costs only 200 with best play.) With the spade finesse presumably win ning, South badly needs an entry to his hand. His only possible winner is the hearl nine. So, at trick two,' declarer must ruff high in dummy, say with the heart tO Ne)(l. he calls lor the heart k1ng. After winning with his ace, West leads the club queen, but declarer ruffs with dummy's heart jack. cashes the heart queen, and overtakes the carefully preserved hean eight with his nine. Finally in hand. South lakes two successful spade finesses ahd makes his con tract. In the old days. if you overcalled w1th this cue-bid, you showed a game· forc~ng oneor two-su iter.

University of Rio Grande Redmen baseball team lost a doubleheader to NAIA No. 14 Lee University on Monday afternoon by scores of 4-1 and 3-0. Rio Grande ( 1-3) wasted two good pitc hing efforts due to a lack of offense. In game one, sophomore hurler Adam Johnson absorbed the loss after. pitching three innings. The righthander was victimized by an errant pick-off throw with the bases loaded in the first inning. As a result, Lee pushed across three runs to take a 3- l lead over Rio. Johnson (0-l) struck out five batters and walked three in his stint on the hill. He gave up five hits and four runs (two earned) . Sophomore lefty Brent Watterson pitched three innings in relief. Freshman first baseman Michael Branon knocked in the lone run of the game for the Redmen. In game two, Kevin Hale took the tough-luck loss.

In game one, Rio Grande ( 1-l ) struck early and often. Senior third baseman H.A. Scott went 1-for-5. but clubbed a gra nd slam home run and drove in five. Junior centerfielder Scott Peterman was 2-for-3 at the plate and scored four runs and junior Kri s Schuler went 2-for-3 and knocked in a pair of runs.

Sophomore Dustin Gibbs pitched the final two innings, givi ng up a home run. The game ended after six . innings due to the I0-run rule. In game two, junior righthander Dan Hepler struggled with his control and never made it out of the second inning. Hepler (0-1) went onephis inning before being chased.

Sophomore C'!tcher Dan Crabtree went 2-for-3 at the plate with a double and an RBI, Peterman added an· RBI double and Chau went 1-for- 1. Rio Grande plated six runs in the fourth inning to cut the defici t to 7-6. Bryan (2-8) scored two insurance runs off Tim Sutton in the sixth inning.

AP SPORTS WRITER ----------American shot put champion Kevin Toth tested positive for the steroid THG and the stimulant modafinil at the 2003 national champiunships and could be suspended for two years, the U.S. ·Olympic Committee announced Monday. Toth is one of four athletes who flunked THG tests during the U.S. champ ionships in June . The others, announced · earlier, were Jacobs, John Regina McEwen and Melissa Price. Jacobs and Price also were national champions. All four face two -year bans if the positive tests are upheld. Final decision s on their cases are expected this spri ng. Later Monday, agent John Nubani announced Toth was retiring, though he still plans to go through with the appeals process. Toth stunned the track and field world with a throw of 74 feet, 4 1/2 inches at the Kansas Relays in April the best performance in the world in 13 years. His winning throw at the l)ational championships was 69-7 l/2. The USOC said Toth also tested positive .for THO during an out-of-competition test in Jul y. Toth, McEwen and Price are disputing the THG test results through the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency 's arbi tration process. Jacobs instead filed a claim with the American Arbitration Association. · " We 're contesting the charges, and tlie case will proceed through the USADA process," sai d Toth 's attorney, Howard Jacobs, no relation to Regina. European 100-meter champion Dwain Chambers also tested positive last year for THG and faces a twoyear. ban. He will appear before a UK Athletics dtsciplinary panel Thursday. Toth was one of dozens of ath letes who appeared before a grand jury probing a nutritional supplements lab. The lab's founder and Barry Bonds' personal trainer were among four people indicted last week on charges they. participated in a steroid-distnbuuon nng that provided drugs to top athletes. All four pleaded innocent Friday. The USOC has announced in recent months that several athletes tested positive for modafinil at the U.S. championships, including Kelli White and Calvtn Ham son. White 's positive test for modafinil at the world championships means she probably will lose 100- and 200meter gold medals. Harri son's fluJJked test could affect seve ral U.S . teammates. He also tested positive for the stimulant pseudoephedrine at the 1993 U.S. junior indoor championships and served a threemonth suspens ion. As a repeat offender, he would face a two-year ban. That means Harrison should not have been el igible for last summer's world championships, at whi ch he ran the opening leg on the U.S. l ,600 relay team. That means the relay team members could lose their gold medals. 37-29 lead with 15:50 to play. The Sooners, meanwhile, made only one of their firs t 17 shots in the second half and went more than 9 minutes without a basket until Jason Detrick scored on a breakaway layup with 9:20 left. By that point, it was too late for Oklahoma to mount much of a challenge to the surging Cowboys. McFarlin, who went 10-of12 from the field; had consecutive baskets that gave Oklahoma State a 15-point lead with 4:38 to play. The jmi.ior forw ard's last field goal started the exodus of Oklahoma fans out of Lloyd Noble Center. . In a nod to the Sooners' offensive ineptitude, the crowd 's biggest cheers came for freshman forward Larry Turner, who made two free throws after missing four strai gh t earlier. Oklahoma, the wor-stshooting team in the Big 12, went 6-of-30 (20 percent) in the second half after leading 27-26 at halftime. By the end of the game, Oklahoma· State's fans had drowned out the crimsonclad crowd with chants of "Go Cowboys Go!" Oklahoma State hadn 't swept the "Bedlam" series against Oklahoma si nce 1998. The Cowboys started their winning streak with a 77-56 victory over the Sooners last month. John Lucas scored 18 points for the Cowboys and Joey Graham added 13. Allen, the te am's leading scorer, had six points. Jabahri Brown led Oklahoma with 16 points. rn steroid case, athletes could be next target The Daily Sentinel's took steroids· arid other banned drugs · would not be prosecuted in court, but they could be suspended from competition - even if they never failed a drug test. Section 9 of the U.S. AntiDoping Agency 's protocol gives that agency the authority to bring a drug case against an athlete in lieu of a positive drug test "when USADA has other reason to believe that a potential doping violation has occurred, such as admitted doping." In such cases, the protocol document says the USADA would initiate the case and send it to a three-member USADA review board for consideration. The USADA covers antidoping issues for · U.S. Olympic athletes, including A-Rod from Page 81 iuning into "Kiner's Komer," their postgame show. : But by Monday night, he was clearly the signed, s~aled and just-about-delivered property of the much-dreaded, crosstown-rival Yanks. Still, Cashman warned, fans shou ldn 't expect the deal to automatically lead to the Yankees' frrst World Series title since 2000. . "The competition isn' t payroll versus payroll. It's player versus player wh~n they 're on !flat field," he said. "Payrolls don :t win championshi~s . If they did, the Florida Marlins .wouldn t have. won last year, the Anahetm Angels wouldn't have won the year before." · · The trade leaves the Yankees' payroll at about $184 million, with reliever Gabe White still unsigned and eligible for arbitration this week. · "To make money, you have to spend money," Yankees prestdent Randy Levine said. "The New York Yankees are in the entertainment and baseball business." . · He said the trade will "bring more people to the ballpark, will create more excitement in ltere and the rest of the country, will improve the New York Yankees brand ." By midafternoon, Major League Baseball 's Web ·Siie was selling Rodriguez 's Yankees jersey for . $99.99, saying it would be shipped once his , number, probably 13, is finalized. · New York has four of baseball 's e ight $100 those in sports such as track and field. NFL and. baseball players wouldn ' t face USADA sanctions, except in the case of baseba ll players · who also participate in international tournaments. But such sanctions would not extend to major league games. Terry Madden, the USADA's chief executive officer, said last week's indictment of four men for allegedly P,articipating in a steroid-distnbution ring could .lead to sanctions agai.nst other athletes. "We fully expect that developments in the U.S. attorney's proceedin~s and our ongoing mvestigauon will lead to the initiation of more doping cases against athletes and others," he said last Thursday after the indictments were handed up. million players, and .its opening-day payroll will be six times that of some teams. Levine pointed out that the Yankees paid $50 million in revenue sharing last year and another $12 million in luxury taxes. "There are never any complaints when we write the check for $60 million and that gets distributed," he said. ''There are only complaints when we do what is in the best interests of the New York Yankees." The rival Red · Sox nearly acquired Rodriguez, a seven-time All-Star, in December, but that deal fell through when Boston's proposal to cut Rodriguez's salary was blocked by the players' association. " I think Larry Lucchino is a little disappointed. He had an opportunity," Levine said, referring to the Red Sox president. Though the Yankees an9 Ran~ers finalized the trade Sunday, it needed Selig's approval because of the amount of the contract Texas is assuming. . "I want to make it abundantly clear to all clubs that I will not allow cash transfers of this magnitude to become the norm." Selig said. "However, given the unique circumstances, incl\Jding the size, length and complexity of Mr. Rodriguez's contract and the quality of the talent moving in both directions, I have .decided to approve the transaction." Texas nwner Tom Hicks initially opposed the trade, but later relented. . "Both of my baseball experts gave me their advice, and it was that ·we can build a championship team faster by · doing this tra\le today," he said. Middleport • Pomeroy, Ohio ,'j 0\1'\IS•\III. ,) j .
