(AP)Ken Griffey Jr. reported to the <;:incinrtati Reds' camp on WCdnesday, getting an early stan in hopes that his season WOI)'t come to another ptematu,re end. · Griffey, 34, dislocated his rjght shoulder while diving for a fly ball in the first week of last season, then returned lind tore a tendon in his right ankle. Both injuries have healed following surgery. The center fielder and five other position players have ~~Cnnission to work out along with pitchers and catchers this week. All six are coming off major injuries that were factprs i.n a 93-loss season. 'Griffey was upbeat on Wednesday when he showed ul' at the Reds' complex. Pttchers and catchers had physicals, and will hold their first workout on Thursday. . · "If I could just get through April or May, I'll be all right," Griffey said. For the last three years, he hasn't even made it to May. Griffey tore a hamstring late in spring training during 200 I , when he was limited to Ill games. He tore a tendon in his right knee whi le rounding third base in the sixth game of the 2002 season. when he appeared in only 70 games. Last year. he hurt his shoulder in the llfth game of the season. He missed 32 games, ret urned and tore up his ankle while rounding a base on July 17. Griffey then had surgery on the shou lder and the ankle. He recentlv started running. and has hit in a batting cage a few ti'mcs without problem. The Reds plan to ease him into workouts during spring ~ training. Outfielders Adam Dunn, Reggie Taylor and Austin Kearns and infielders Brandon Larson and Felipe Lopez also are in camp early to work through their seasonending injuries from 2003. The rest of the position players will have their first workou.t next Tuesday. It will be awhile before Griffey is doing everything fu ll-speed in camp. ''I' ll do some little things," he said. "They say ttiey're going to take it easy on me." Griffey appeared in a career-low 53 games last season, hitting only .247 with 13 homers. He's eager to get back fO playing, but has no special feelings abo~t return"' ing from one of his toughest seasons. "It 's the same," he said. "It's just wanting io get back out there and be with your teammates. Last year was a messed-up year for all of us." '-'udge denies request to dismiss claims in Marshall lawsuit CHARLESTON. W.Va. (AP) - A federal judge has refuse.d to dismiss many of the claims in a lawsuit that accuses Marshall University and several administrators of scapegoating the school's former NCAA athletic compliance director in an attempt to conceal an improper employment scheme for student -athletes. David Ridpath' s lawsuit alleges that he was relieved of his duties as an adjunct professor in the Exercise and Sports Science Department and his future employment was threatened "in an effort to silence Ridpath regarding potential NCAA violations at . MU." On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Robert J. Staker denied defense motions to dismiss Ridpath's claims of fraud, violation of free speech and due process rights and breach of contract. Staker also rejected the defendants' argument that the federal court had no jurisdiction in the matter, and denied a motion to move the case to Cabell County Circuit Court. : "Dr. Ridpath is very [!leased with the result and looks forward to the opportunity to litigate this case and establish the fact that Marshall University scapegoated Dr. Ridpath for an employment scheme that pre-extsted his presence at the university, and one that h~ - didn't know about," Ridpath's lawyer, - Jason Huber, said Wednesday. The defendants ' lawyers, Charles Bailey and Vaughn T. Sizemore. could not be reached for comment Wednesday. Ridpath was hired as assistant athletic director in charge compliance in 1997. After he reported some academic violations to the NCAA ill 1999, he became aware that some student-athletes were receiving improper employment assistance at the McCorkle Machine Shop in Huntington, which is owned by Mars hall booster Marshall Reynolds, according to the lawsuit. Reynolds was cited by the NCAA in December 2001 for providing extra work benefits for Marshall athletes. The .school was ordered to sever all ties with the Huntington multimillionaire for at least five years. Reynolds has said he was wrongly saddled with most of the blame by the uni versity during the NCAA investi gation. The Daily Sentinel• PageB6 www.mydailysentinel.tom Ridpath's laws uit .alleges that Marshall football coach Bob Pruett and other members of the coaching staff tried to cover up the employment program. Ridpath was reassig ned in 2001 to the position of director of judicial programs, where his pay was increased $15,000 a year more than his predecessor in that job. His position was terminated July 14, 2003, allegedly because of negative comments he made during the NCAA investigation, according to the lawsuit. Staker dismissed Ridpath 's claim for monetary relief against Marshall , and the administrators in their. official capacity, but the judge ruled that damage claims against the administrators as individuals could move forward. The judge also dismi ssed Ridpath's claims of a civil conspiracy and violation of public policy. The defendants are the university; Pruett; Marshall President Dan Angel; Edward Grose, Marshall 's retiring senior vice president of .operations; E Lay ton Cottrill, -.ice president for executive affairs and general counsel; and Richard Hilliard, special NCAA legal counsel. Ridpath originally filed the lawsuit in August 2003, and then amended it in December 2003. Earnhardt ·has a special connection with -his.fans DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) - At the moment of the biggest triumph of his blossoming career, Dale . Earnhardt Jr. made sure to spend time connecting with hi s fans. , He drove slowly back around the 2 I/2-mile oval at Daytona International Speedway, waving to fans out the window of his car, then stopped at the finish line to celebrate instead of driving straight to Victory Circle. "I just wanted to shout at the fans, wave at them, hear what they had to say," Earnhardt said. The fans, many of them clad in red and white, the colors on Junior 's No. 8 Chevrolet , Budweiser waved and roared back at their hero after his Daytona 500 win Sunday. And there were plenty of them. He has so many fans, in fact, they've been dubbed by some as Earnhardt's Army. " When· I walk around with Ju11ior, I feel like I'm with Elvis," said Martin Truex, whom · Earnhardt hired to drive the Busch Series car he co-owns with stepmother Teresa Earnhardt. As Earnhardt wins more races and becomes a legitimate star on the track, hi s popularity is ' soaring even outside racing ciTcles. He's showing up in lots of commercials,. on billboards, in MTV videos and documentaries about his life, at rock concerts and in numerous television interviews. This week alone, he went from NBC's "Today" show and ABC's "Regis and Kelly," to sitting <;town with David Letterman. Earnhardt inherited a lot of ·fans from his father when the Intimidator easily the most popular driver of his era in stock car racing - was killed in the 200 I Daytona 500.

According to the documents released Tuesday, Anderson told federal agents he gave steroids to several professional baseball players. It was unclear whether Anderson provided specific names to the federal agents. No players were identified in the documt;nts released at a news conference at the U.S. attorney's office in San Francisco, and the only time a player's name was used in the 24 pages of documents it was blacked out. But at least two newspapers around the country were emailed versions of the documents, and that player's name mistakenly was not blacked out.

This time, five times that many were in line Monday morn ing to buy tickets and get the chance to see their hero and maybe get an autograph or even a couple of words with Junior. '"He 's a lot like his daddy," Donovan said. "He's tough and he's a winner." The 29-year-old Earnhardt, who proj ects the image of a quietly confident, hip and hap py -golu c~y young man , admits he is a bit overwhelmed by the attention. "What's most amazi ng to me today is seeing a grown man cry at Daytona USA, talking about how ·happy he was to be here," Earnhardt said after the ceremony.

"That just shows you how big an effect and how much impact you can have on one person. And, when you multiply that by so many people, it's really . overwhelming." Earnhardt, a third-generation NASCAR star, considers the adulation a huge responsibility. "When · people pull for you, you .can't go out there and do something foolish and make a fool out of them next to their buddy when they go to work on Monday and they got to hear how you done," he said. " I just try to do right and make them people proud, even outside the race car." And he doesn't want to take the fan s for granted. "It don't last forever," Earnhardt said. "We' ll just have a good old time as long as we can. Our part is just not screwing up and doing something stupid and getting everybody mad.

The EPA required repairs in 2<XXl, after the Meigs County Board of Health, which has direct regulatory authority over the site, issue<;! a notice of violations to the county. According to EPA documents and a study commissioned by the commissioners through the engineering tlrm Burgess & Niple, the landfill is leaking leachate. or contaminated water, into a tributary of Thomas Fork Creek. The leachate contains sodium, chloride. ammonia, barium, nitrogen, potassium, zinc, as well as at least two pollutants, strontium and diethylphalate. According to EPA documents, the contamination is due to trees and other vegetation which weakened the landfill's soil cap. Sheets said those trees have already been removed, and a wetland system, one of several options recommended by the EPA, will be constructed later, this year.

Meigs sheriff's deputy Danny Leonard said these checks look absolutely real because they have t~rmination dates, routing numbers, and embossed. If a counterfeit check slips through the system allowing the victim to cash it and collect the money, the victim is responsible for paying back the value of the check to the bank when the error is detected. Meigs sheriff's deputy Scott Trussell is investigating three inci- are dents, two in Racine ,and another in Pomeroy, where victims received fraudulent checks sent from Nigeria for the purchase of vehicles offered for sale. A Racine woman, whose name is not being released by the sheriff's department for privacy reasons, recently attempted to cash a $13,000 fraudulent check sent to her for the purchase of her vehicle. A Racine man, whose name is also being withheld, tried to sell his tractor for $10,000 to someone who sent him a $16,000 check from Nigeria. When he tried to cash it Thursday morning at a local bank, the check did not clear. . A Pomeroy woman. whose name is being withheld, tried to cash two checks this week worth _more than $7.000 that were sent to her for the purchase of some items she was selling. Alert bank tellers stopped payment before any of these checks could be processed. The. Nigerian scheme is nothing new and has conned Americans out of millions of dollars over the past decade. According to the Meigs County Sheriff's Department, Nigerian con artists target individuals selling merchandise over the Internet, specitlcally-large-ticket items such as cars, motorcycles and boats. The buyer, who is from Africa, e-mails the seller to express an interest in the item and states that the method of payment will be a U.S . bank cashier's check. At the last minute, the buyer makes an excuse for send in g a cashier's check that is several thou- sand dollars more than the price of the item being purchased. The buyer asks the consumer to wire back the difference between the check and the pu rc has~ price after the check clears. Once the consumer's bank .cashes the check, the consumer then wires the balance to the buyer in Africa, Typically within seven to 21 days. the consumer learns from his or her bank that the check was counterfei t and that the full amount must be returned to the bank. "If it sounds to good to be true, then it is." said Mei gs sheriff's deputy Bryan Holman . who advises everyone to beware of this scheme. Writing fraudulent checks that are cashed at a bank is a federal offense punishable by a severe tine and a prison se ntence.

It was never meant to be rattled off, parrot-like. no matter how piously it is intoned. Rather, it was to provide the subject matter and outline for prayer and meditation , which was to be engaged in, said Jesus, "when you are alone." To begin to use the Lord's Prayer in the way Jesus intended, we must meditate on each phrase until that phrase "lights up" for us and we can see how it applies to us in our times of need and in our situations in life. It is after we have done this that we will find saying the Lord's Prayer in public will no longer be a vain repetition, but a powerful reminder of what we have privately meditated upon. Thoughtful repetition is an important ingredient in effective prayer. The secret of George Plagenz prayer is believing, said Jesus, and the more often we · hear something, the more we believe it. TV advertisers know this. Praying Christians should learn it, too. Because \ we repeat the Lord's Prayer whenever we go to church · and on numerous other occasions. it is the ideal prayer to use to help us in believing. But first we must understand what we are saying. If we mumble the words when we repeat the Lord's Prayer, chances are. it's because the words have no meaning for us. . These Lenten meditations · on the Lord's Prayer are to get us to see how the words of thi s ancient and hallowed prayer have relevance for PE_ RSPECTIVE: City says it's handcuffed in some attempts to fire police Joanna Stout our wants, our safety and our happiness. He cares not only for the big bumps but "for the scratches, too. This "God as Father" concept will help to answer many of our questions as to why, if God is good, he allows evil to happen in our lives. No father "allows" evil to happen to his little child. Troubles come to the child only when he gets to feel he is "too big " to hold his father's hand and, say, runs into the street. When we say "Father" in the Lord's Prayer, we must think of one on whom we are utterly dependent and who will just as certainly look out for our well-being, as does the father of a small child. But like the child. we must stay very near and not run away. · "Father" is only the second word in the Lord's Prayer. Please take the time during these Lenten weeks to privately reflect upon those words and phrases that follow. Next week, we will continue to do just that. each of us in our lives today. Then, by saying the prayer often and with meaning, we will find our prayers answered. "Our Father... " For starters, try reflecting upon the word "Father." The problem many adults have with the word, when applied to God, is that they tend unconsc iously to think of God in terms of their relationship with their human father. They themselves are now grown up and while many sti II revere their father and enjoy talking to him, and may even seek his advice and help occasionally, they are no, longer dependent on him. They have outgrown that. As French priest Michel Quoist said in his book of prayers, "The father carries only the very litlle children." We will understand what Jesus meant when he referred to God as Father only if we think of ourselves as perennially little children and God as the Father whose hand we hold and who looks out for • THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MEL .

Local Briefs Ohio 7 open to two-way traffic MARIETTA - The Ohio Department of Transportation announces that Route 7 is now open to northbound and southbound traffic. The traffic pattern change went into efkct at approximately 2:30p.m. Thursday. All traffic has been diverted to the northbound lanes with one lane traveling in each direction. The speed limit along the project work zone has been reduced to 40 mph. A 12-foot width restriction is in place for southbound traffic only. The open northbound lane is not affected. ODOT advises motorists to stay alert to updated signs and pavement markings in the area. Motorists should also be cautious at intersection locations. "Motorists should be a·ware that both north and southbound lanes will experience periodic delays while blasting is under way," said Filson. "Traffic delays should be limited to a maximum of 15 minutes. Although blasting will not likely occur every day, those blasts that are necessary will be scheduled for common times - approximately noon and 5 p.m." ODOT says that it is unlikely that more than two blasts will occur in any single day. Traffic has been closed to southbound traffic since midJanuary due to the Level-A emergency project. ODOT had hoped that the project would progress quickly with minimal negative impact. "This project is quite extensive," said Filson. "We realize that there is no ideal way to maintain traffic under the current circumstances, but the closure of this major arterial route has been a detriment to local residents, commuters, business and industry. ODOT appreciates the patience and cooperation of those affected by the recent detour and applaud the efforts of contractor Beaver Excavating Company for helping this pro- . ject to move safely forward so that bidirectional traffic could resume on this heavily traveled route." • Court news Indictments filed STAHlER.

But she has been in the Senate for two terms, and was lucky in having a weak opponent iri 1998. A great deal, therefore, depends on who is chosen to run against her this time. Schwarzenegger has endorsed Bill Jones, a for· mer Secretary of State of California. Jones is a pleasant fellow, and a "moderate" by California Republican standards (which is probably why Schwarzenegger, who is a "moderate" too, endorsed him). But he lacks entirely the will and ability to "mix it up" that is essential in anyone who seeks to beat Boxer. There are also former U.S. Treasurer Rosario Marin and former Los Altos Hills Mayor Toni Casey, whom are competing (unsuccessfully) with Jones for the "moderate" vote. But that leaves a fourth contender, who111 conserva. tive Republicans ·have rallied around. He is 'Howard Kaloogian, a former assemblyman from the San Diego area, who played a key role in launching the recall effort that toppled Democratic Gov. Gray Davis. He has received ... endorsements from an impressive number of leading conservatives, both in California and at the nation· al level. State Sen.

At the national level, he has been endorsed by Lew Uhler, chairman of the National Tax Limitation Committee, Jack Kemp, Phyllis Schlafly and Paul Weyrich. The reason isn't hard to find.

If California Republicans decide they want a candidate who will really tangle ' with Boxer, Howard ·Kaloogian is ready to oblige.

Melvin Walker, 39, was in custody in Atlanta, where he was to face an eight-count indictment accusing him and David Ramsey of conspiring to violate the federal murderfor-hire statute and using interstate facilities to kill Brown, authorities said. The interstate charges relate to allegations that they used cellnlar phones to help facilitate the plot, the indictment said. · Ramsey, 32, was arrested Wednesday in St. Croix in the Virgin Islands, authorities said. The charges against the two were filed 1\lesday but were sealed until they were arrested. Arraignment for Walker was scheduled for Thursday, said Patrick Crosby, public affairs officer for the U.S. '· The Daily Sentinel • Page As www .mydailysentinel.com 2004 Obituaries The Lord's Prayer The Daily Sentinel ' PageA4 Attorney's Office. Walker and Ramsey have made initial court appearances, Crosby ·said. Walker told the court that he would need an attorney, Crosby said. According to the indicunent, Walker was told he would be promoted to deputy sheriff if he took part in Brown's slaying. Ramsey was promised a job a~ a detention oflicer. From August to December, the two, along with at ·least one other coconspirator, conducted surveillance on Brown's home before killing him, the indicunent said. Brown, who campaigned to root out corruption, defeated former Sheriff Sidney Dorsey in a primary runoff in August 2000. He was killed three days before he was to have been sworn in. "In this case, Mr. Brown's murder undermined our democratic process for the election of law enforcement officials," U.S. Attorney Bill Duffey said in a statement issued Wednesday afterfloon. CINCINNATI (AP) City officials have been frustrated by their inability to fire police officers accused of misconduct, but they believe a new collective bargaining agreement will help close some gaps used . by arbitrators to overturn dismissals. Arbitrators have reinstated officers accused of such things as body-slamming a man who had Alzheimer's disease, planting a bag of marijuana on a suspect and having sex on the job and then lying about it. The Cincinnati chapter of the Fraternal Order of Polke, which represents about I,000 sworn officers, says it was city officials who )"anted the system that replaced the civil service . commission in 1995. "The arbitration system we've been using for years was sought after and fought for by the city. and we agreed to it." said s~ Roberts, the FOP presidenl\"' "Now, they' ve lost so many cases, they think, 'It's the process, it's the system.' No it 's not. " A new contract the city and police negotiated last year should make it easier to gel rid of police who engage in misconduct, said city councilman· Pat De Wine, a former chairman of the Law and Pub! ic Safety Committee. One change is that the FOP agreed to a city-proposed selection system that gives the city a better chance of endin~ up with a favorable arbnrator. Another is that the FOP agreed not to cite in arbitration examples of discipline that are more than three years old. "It' s important for the integrity of our police force that we be able to ensure that when we do have that rare bad apple that we 're able to get rid of him." If the public perception is that some officers get a slap on the hand when they should be fired, Roberts said that is not the case. "We in the FOP who.leheartedly endorse discipline and the disciplinary process. but we believe it needs to be fair, and · the arbitration process is a fair process," Roberts said. "That's why we win the majority of the cases, if not all, because we believe we have a good case. When we take a case to arbitration, it's a good case." Roberts said there are. indeed, actions that warrant dismissal, and numerous tiring have been upheld. He would not discuss specific cases. Cincinnati officials' concerns about arbitration with police are not unique. In January. an arbitrator ruled that the city of Miami , Okla .. violated a labor contract when it banned police officers from using tobacco in city vehicles. Because the officers previously were allowed to use tobacco products in the vehicles , the city could not take away the privilege wi thout bargaining with the officers. arbitrator Otis King ruled. City officials contended the labor contract gave them the right to set policies for the department and the officers who work there. The Philadelphia Police Department's disciplinary system remains "fundamentally ineffective. inadequate and unpredictable" and should be taken over by an outside agency, according to a report last month by the city's Integrity and Accountability Office. It said nearly half of the officers and supervi sors engaged in serious misconduct since :woo have not been punished, and reforms recommended more than two years ago have not been implemented. Former Philadelphia police commissioner John Timoney, now police <.:hief in Miami , Fla. , said he spent four years fighting problems in the police discipline system in Philadelphia . Timoney said he believes the system under which discipli- nary actions can be re viewed and even reversed by independent arbitrators >hould be dumped because it undermines the department's ability to punish wayward ofti cers. In Michigan. a state appeals court upheld the promotion of a Detroit . police oftlcer to the rank of sergeant. The court upheld an arbitrator's decision to promote the officer, despite the objections of city offi cials who said the offi<:er had killed three people and wounded a fourth in nine shootings during six of hi s I0 years on the force. Earl Leonhardt. a federal mediator in Cincinnati. said cit ies can best avoid prob-· lems by using mediation to negotiate contracts and settk disputes. "Arbitration determines winners and losers, ir doesn' t ne.:essqrily determine what is ri2ht ," Leonhardt saic ... A mediator maintains his neutrality. We do a lot of grievance mediation to avoid that final and binding arbitration:· If that doesn't work. the two sides in the dispute receive a list of available arbitrators and agree on one. But. Leonhardt said, arbitrators in discharge cases often lean toward the employees and try to get them back to work. Internet college makes gains toward accreditation CHARLESTON, W.Va.

(AP)For one day, students and teachers at Madonna High School agreed it was more important to ponder a realworld lesson in economics than algebra. In a town where nearly everyone knows or is related to a steelworker, each class began Wednesday with discussion of a $225 million buyout offer for bankrupt Weirton Steel - a deal that · positions 2-year-old International Steel Group of Cleveland to become the nation's largest integrated steel maker. "That's all we talked about all day," said Megan Gasaway, a 17-year-old senior from Follansbee. "It was on everyone's mind anyway, so the teachers decided we should just talk about it. "Some people were quiet; the ones whose whole families work there," she said. "People don' t really know what to think, if it's going to be good or not. Everybody's just saying, . 'Let's wait and see."' The grown-ups feel much the same. Jeff Miller drove to his union hall before dawn, hoping to share in a celebration. For the laid-off, 27-yearemployee, a buyout offer from International Steel Group Inc. meant one thing: He might be back at work soon. "I'm ecstatic," said Miller, of Wellsbur~. " It means the mill is gomg to continue to be here. It's not going to shut down. ... They're not J?Oing to lock the doors on us. But there ;vas no party at the headquarters of the Independent Steelworkers Union. Most men arriving for work nodded, swapped a few words about the long-anticipated deal and moved on. At lunch and shop counters, the mood was subdued. Workers accustomed to layoffs braced for even more. Some were skeptical, anxious to hear more about ISG's intentions. Denise· Brown. a 27-year veteran, was disappointed to think that Weirton - once · the nation's largest employee-owned company - may become no more than a cog in a corporate machine.

Reality is quick to temper jubilation in Weirton. a community accustomed to bad news and struggle. Workers who have histori cally been fiercely independent began to realize during nine months of Chapter II bankruptcy that a small sle~l­ maker could no longer thrive on its own.

That 's because the running back who won his challenge to the NFL' s draft system announced he would skip Friday's workouts at the scouting combine and wait six more weeks before giving scouts a chance to evaluate his Clarett skills on the field . The reason : he said he wanted more time to train after a suspension cost him his entire sophomore season at Ohio Stale. Not everymre accepied the explanation, which could lower hi s position in the draft even more - the wait is clearly to get in shape after he weighed in at a porky 237 pounds. In fact, his deci sion clearl y antagonized a.lot of the people he is supposed to be impressing. "That 's a farce," Buffalo general manager Tom Donahoe said. "That was expected but that 's ridiculous. " Clarett said he made the decision at the urging of hi s mother. After beating the NFL in a courtroom twice thi s month to become eligible for the draft, Claret! , 20, will become the first true sophomore in the NFL draft. Hi s weight is seven pounds more than he played at , and the 230 at which he was li sted may have been questionable. He even acknowledged he wasn't in top con· dition despite working out for the past couple weeks . Scouls wondered why Ciarett didn 't arrive for the week long combine better prepared after missing a;J entire season and then challenging the NFL's rule requiring underclassmen to complete three years of school before declaring for the draft. Clarett said simply that he wanted more time to train and that he was scheduling a personal workout in Columbus. Ohio. the first week of April. ''I'm kicking it in the next four weeks," Clarett said. " I want to put myselt' in the best position possible." It wasn't well rece ived by those who wanted to see Ciarett run . It also rai sed questions about hi s attitude. "I just want to see whal he looks like," Detroit Lions president Matt Millen said. "We've got to do our homework and he's got to do his." Clarett was grilled by reporters for about 15 minutes in a preview of what he is likely to face later Thursday night when teams begin interviewing players one-on-one. The NFL limits teams to 60 inlerviews and Clarett said he expected to talk to all 32 teams. He was asked repeatedly about his character, hi s medical hi story, his dura· bility, whether he was prepared physically and mentally to jump· to the NFL. He e ve ~ dodged a q.uestion about his a~~nt , saymg he hadn 1 yet made a deciSIOn even though he is believed to have chosen Jimmy Sexton. ' And he promised to show a different sjde in the NFL. ,. "I lhink I'm going to keep my mouth shut at this level,'' he said. . Please see Clarett. Bl I �' Page Ba • The Daily Sentinel Friday, February ao, www .mydailysentinel.com 2004 Colorado places Barnett on administrative leave BY JOHN MOSSMAN Associated Press DENVER - Colorado football coach Gary Bamc:u was suspended for his comments about afemale player who accused a teammate of rape, lhe latest blow to an already-troubled football program. Barnett was placed on paid leave Wednesday night by uni versity president Elizabeth Hoffman, who also said she was "utterly distressed" over comments Barnett made in a 200 I police report filed by another woman who said a football player raped her. The suspension came one day after he criticized the p;:rformance of former Colorado ktcker Katie Hnida. who said she was raped by a teammate four years ago. The coach called her an •·awful" player and said . she '•' couldn't "kick the ball through the uprights." · On Thursday, police said they were investigating the sixth sexual assault allegation involving a football player. Boulder Police Chief Mark Beckner said the alleged assault happened in August 2001, but would· not discuss details. · Barnett, 57, wi ll be on leave while an independent committee investigates a burgeoning list of allegations involving the foo tball program, including rapes, recruiting parties featuring alcohol and sex, escort services and hiring strippers. Barnett said he disagreed with Hoffman's decision but apologized and accepted it, calling himself ·•a team player." He also said tbe police report contained some inaccuracies. Hnida. who now plays for the University of New Mexico, last year became the ftrst woman ever to score points in a Division 1-A football game. Ryan Johanningmeier, who was a team captain while Hnida played at Colorado, said Thursday sume teammates could be "a bit nasty." "However, we all get called names. I got called names,". he told ABCTV\ "Good Morning America." Johanningmeier said that when one player's comments about Hnida got too personal, Barnett "gave this guy a pretty good reprimand in front of the team, reminded us once again that this was a player on the team who needs to be treated with respect. A lot of it stopped at that point, from what I main reason Barnett was put on administrative leave, Hoffman said. "Rape is a horrific allegation and it should be taken seriously," she said. After spending much of Wednesday commenting about Barnett's remarks, Hoffman learned police had released the report that quoted an unidentified woman saying Barnett told her he "would back his player 100 percent" if rape charges were pursued. The woman declined to file charges. . Hoffman said she learned of the woman's rape allegation recently, but it was unclear when Barnett ftrst knew of it. The accusations involving the football progmm that have surfaced over saw." the past three weeks stem from civil Hoffman called Barnett's Tuesday lawsuits filed by three women against comments "extremely inappropriate the school.

Bryant scored five and amassed four steals. As far as the game plan goes, Wolfe plans on sticking what has earned his team 14 wins already. "We're going to go into the game and do what we do best. We 're a pressing team, that kind of gets us jumpstarted. We ' ll try to use our quickness and get some fast break points," he explained.

(AP) ~ Barry Larkin opened his final spring camp Thursday with no special feelings about ··• reaching the end of the line. Those will come much later. The Cincinnati Reds shortstop and team captain expects this to be the final season in his 18-year career, all with his hometown team. Larkin, who turns 40 on April 28, hopes to move into the front office after the season. He reported and worked out Thursday with Reds pitchers and catchers, one of seven regulars who are getting an early start because they ' re coming off injuries. Larkin had no nostalgic feelings as he put on his button-down red jersey and black spring training cap. "This is normal ," Larkin said . "There's nothing special, yet, about this upcoming season. You ' ve got to go out and play, play hard, try to do we ll , and that 's really it. There's nothing more than goes into it at this particu lar poiht. You get ready and you go out and try to have a good year." A few months ago, he was convinced he'd never get this chance. Larkin completed the final season on a three-year, $27 million deal in 2003. He lobbied for a one-year extension that would allow him to play a farewell season, and was miffed when the club made a take-it-or-leave-it offer of a $500,000, whic h would have made him one of the lowest-paid players on the roster. The Reds recon sidered, agreed to negotiate and agreed on a one-year contract with a $700,000 salary and the possibility of another $300,000 in performance bonuses. Larkin will have to stay ~rtbune - Sentinel - l\e CLASSIFIED Cincinnati Reds outfielde r Ken Griffey Jr. takes batting practice du ring th_e Reds first scheduled workout Thursday at training camp in Sarasota, Fla. (AP) healthy to get them. . He had three stints on the disabled list last season because of injuries to his left calf, hi s right calf.and a fi nger. A variety of injuries have limited him each of the last four years. Larkin is the starting shortstop as camp opens, although no one expects him to play everyday. "Barry is our shortstop, but realistically we don ' t anticipate that he 's going to be playing the position 150 nights a year," general manager Dan 0' Brien said. "We know we' re going to have to use some discretion in how we go through the season in terms of Barry and the alternatives." Felipe Lopez, who was considered his eventual replacement at the start of last season, got a chance to play when Larkin was hurt. Lopez struggled, hitting .213 in 59 games before getting · sent to the minors. Lopez dislocated his left ankle in a home plate collision on July 25 and needed surgery. The Reds are going easy at the outset with Lopez, 23, who still could inherit Larkin's job at some point. "He's well ahead of schedule in rehab, but he is a real unknown in the spring," O'Brien said. "As a result of that, I . think it would be unfair to him to categorize him one way or another. We just want him to get fu lly healthy and back to playing, and we' ll make a decision at that point." Notes: Pitchers and catchers had their first workout Thursday. Left-bander Jesus Sanchez, a nonroster minor leaguer invited to camp, was the only missing player. He is expected to arrive from the Dominican Republic on Friday.... Ken Griffey Jr. took batt ing practice Thursday. Larkin, Griffey, Adam Dunn, Reggie Tay lor, Austin Kearns, Brandon Larson and Lopez ·are coming off injuries and have arrived early for workouts. All eyes are on a star-studded Astros at spring training HOUSTON The · Houston Astros' biggest problem might be figuring out who ge ts to start on open· ing day. Does six-time Cy Young Award winner Ro ger Clemens get the honor? Or will it be fellow newcomer Andy · Pettitte? And what about holdovers Wade Miller and Roy Oswalt? Only one can throw the season' s first pitch against Barry Bonds' San FrancisGo Giants on April 5. Manager Jimy Williams didn't want to think about it before the team starts spring training Sunday. "I" d like to get all of our starters in the same ZIP code in Kissimmee, then I' II get them all together and we' II talk about it," he said . "I think that's the best way to do it, rather than having to make five phone calls." Clemens would be the obvious choice, especially because he came out of retirement to play for his · hometown team after leaving the New York Yankees.

He was 10-14 with a 3.86 ERA last season. · "I' m starting to get excited because it's ~etting close," Pettitte said. ' It seems like I signed a year ago.

Zeljko Rebraca, Lindsey Hunter and Chucky Atkin s - in a three-way trade al so tile Boston involving Celtics. A total of four trades were made Thursday, two apiece by the Utah Jazz and Orlando Magic. -By far the biggest was the Wallace deal , which adds a ta1ented offensive threat to a team that went to the conference finals last season and has the East's third-best record (34-22) . "Them getting Rasheed is a great thing. I'm happy for those guys ," Knicks president' lsiah Thomas said. "At least now there's a couple teams over here that can challenge Indiana and ·New Jersey." The Pistons beat out the Knicks to obtain Wallace. putting together a package' - a No. I and a parcel of players with expiring contracts - that was exactly what Atlanta wanted. Detroit sent Rebraca and Sura to the Hawks, and Atkins and Hunter to the Celtics, and received Mike James from Boston. Atlanta gets Milwaukee 's lotteryprotected first-round pick, al)d Boston gets Detroit's No. I pick. The Hawks also ~ 1: I!' .,I ,, I. ' 'I 'I I' ' ,. received fo rward Chri s Mills from th e Ce lti cs. Wallace played onl y one game for the Hawk s. who acquired him from Portland last wee k. " He was a big fi sh on the market, and we did eve rything - without tearin g up the core of the team - to try to get him ." Thoma s said . " If it was a tal ent-fortalent deal, we were in a pretty good position to play in that game. But that 's not what they were looking for." Thoma s al so wa s in negotiation s with the Golden State Warriors for center Erick Dampier, but the ' teams could not agree on a deaL Another teani surprisingly idle was the Philadelphia 76er s, who turned down Orlando 's offer of Gordan Giricek and Juwan Howard for Eric Snow. Instead , Giricek was dealt from Orlando to Utah for guard DeShawn Stevenson and a future second-round pick. The Magic also dealt Shammond William s to New Orl eans for Sean Rooks . Utah also acquired Tom Gugliotta , a pair of No. I picks and a 2005 secondround pick from Phoenix for Keon Clark and Ben Handlogten - a deal that uses up all of the Jazz ' s salary cap space for this season. The two No. I picks formerly belonged to the Knicks, who sent them to Phoenix in the Stephan Marbury trade. One consequence of the Suns-Jazz trade is that Utah no longer has the ability to claim center Michael Doleac off waivers. New York traded the 7-foot cen- ter to Atlanta last wee kend in the deal that brought Tim Thomas and Naz r Mohammed to the Knicks, and the Knicks now hope to re-s ign him . Thomas. who brought in Karee m Abd ui-Jabbar to tutor hi s big men at practice Thursday. sa id the Knicks also are interested in sign· ing Yin Baker after he clears wa1v ers . Among othe r trade -minded teams shut out were the Toronto Raptors, who are in danger-of fallin g out of the playo ff rac e after losing Vince Carter and Jalen Rose to injuries . "There was nothing we could get done that made sense. We could have made some bad deal s. There were no good dea ls out there," general manager Glen Grunwald said. "We were trying to get a veteran bi g guy. Those guys are more di fficu It to. get. " Difficult for everyone except Dumars, who added Wallace to a starting front court that already includes All-Star Ben Wall ace and Mehmet Okur. By shedding Atkins' contract , Dumars also positioned the Pistons far enough under the salary cap to offer Okura market-value deal when he becomes a free agent this summer. Dumars said Wallace ' s past problems never entered into his decision-making process. and coach Larry Brown was thrilled with the acquisition of a fellow former North Carolina Tar HeeL "It gives us a real shot to compete at the highest level in the NBA right now," Dumars said . BY DOUG FERGUSON Associated Press LOS ANGELES _ · PGA chan1pion Shaun Micheel doesn't feel like a star, not with Tiger Woods and Vijay Singh in the Nissan Open. and certainly not in star-crazed Los Angeles. As long as he plays like one, that's fine with him. Micheel put some putting practice to good use Thursday, holing a 30-foot eagle putt and a couple of other long birdies for a 7-under 64 at Riviera and a share of the first-round lead with Shigeki Maruyama. ''I don't know what it takes to be a star," Micheel said. "I don't know if I have that quality. I would like to become top 10 in the world at some point, be a more consistent player." Micheel and Maruyama, who played in the same group, had a one-shot lead over Hank Kuehne. while the group at 66 included defending ch!ll11pion Mike Weir and former Nissan Open winners Fred Couples and Robert Allenby. WOOds, meantime, continued to struggle at Riviera. · This is the only course on tl)e PGA Tour he has played at lea~t five times without winning, and Woods put himself . in a hole with a l-over 72, the first time he has been over par in the first round of a regular PGA Tour event since last year at Riviera. Woods wiU stan the second round below the cut line, needing a good score to extend his record streak of 116 conseculive cuts on the PGA Tour. "My iron play was the most disappointing," Woods said. "I hit some really nice drives, but I couldn' t hit my irons close enough to make any birdies." Smgh, whose streak of l:l_top lOs ended last ·week at Torrey Pines when he missed the cut, . didn' t fare much better. Despite hittin~ · 15 greens, he took 33 putts m a round of even-par 71. lt wasn't just Woods and Singh grabbing all the attention . ' The loudest roars of a cool, overcast day belonged to John Daly, a winner last week for the first time on U.S . soil in 10 years. Daly was 2 over at the tum, but birdied the next three holes and the last two of his round for a 68. His only complaint came at the end, when players have to walk up a 50-foot hill. to the clubhouse to sign their cards. "I just wish they'd put an escaltor from the 18th 11reen to the clubhouse," Daly satd. "I'm too fat to walk up this damn hill." Micheel breezed his way around Riviera, and wound up in the lead for the first time since his 7-iron into 2 inches on the final hole at Oak Hill gave him a two-shot victory in the PGA Championship. He was relatively unknown until that first victory, but even a major championship does not jack the Q-rating through the smog over LA. "You work hard out here to try to win tournaments and earn the respect of your peers, ard then you realize you don't have to earn the respect of the players, but the fans and the media, and that's very difficult," Micheel said. "I think maybe I'm starting to get a handle on that." Not that Micheel is complaining. . He takes his status as a major champion seriously, and works hard at trying to meet whatever opportunities and obligations that comes his way. What will it take to be a star'' "I don't know, maybe another PGA Championship," Micheel said. "I'm trying to get there. I don't need that, really. I think I'm pretty grounded. I don't need live airplanes. [don't ne_ed six yachts. I need to make a hving. I've got to be able to pay for my trip to.L.A., pay for my hotel down there in Santa Monica." . , . . Maruyama 1sn t paymg for that this week. He has a home m nearby Westwood and a membership at Riviera, although he doesn t usually play the stoned course as well as he did Thursday. , The Japanese star- yes, he s a big star at home - had e1ght birdies and three times matched birdies with Micheel. "Everything was very good," Maruyama said. "I do~,'t usually play well over here. DIVOTS: The most unusual par belonged to · Kevin Sutherland on the par-3 s1xth, which has a bunker in the middie of the green. He hit 4-iron to the front right of the green. then · tried to hammer a putt up and around the bunker, no small task with a long putter. "I caught it fat," he said. The ball went into the bunker, and Sutherland holed out for par. "My caddie told me I was the onl,v guy who made par with a green-m-regulat1on and a sand save," he said .... No c_me had a tougher stan at RIVIera than Olin Browne. Starting on the short IOth. he hit a wedge into the bunker, then took four .shots to get out and wound up With an 8. After Browne ·made birdie two holes later, his caddie gave him hi s scorecard, then showed him the green Shotlink card that indicates club selection. It looked like the stan of a Web site - W-W-W-W-W. It ffilght have been six straight wedges, but once Browne ~ot out of the bunker, he used a fatrway metal to putt from the first cut of rough....
