Smaller jaws would have ' fundamentally changed the structure of the skull. they • contend, by eliminating : thick muscles that worked . like bungee cords to anchor · a huge jaw to the crown of · the head. The change would have allowed the , cranium to grow larger and led to the development of a bigger brain cap,able of .. tool-making and language. . The mutation is reported . in the latest issue of the journal Nature, not by anthropologists. but by a . team of biologists and plastic surgeons at the University of Pennsylvania and the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. The report provoked · strong reactions throughout the hotly contested field of human origins with one scientist declaring it "counter to the fundamentals of evo. lution" and another pro. nouncing it "super." · Penn s~ lvania · The researchers said thetr esti· mate of when this mutation first occurred - about 2.4 million years ago, in the grasslands of East Africa, the cradle of humanity generally overlaps with the first fossils of prehistoric humans featuring rounder skulls. flatter faces, smaller teeth and weaker jaws. And tl)e remarkable genetic mutation persists to · this day in every person, they said. Nonhuman primates including our closest animal relative, the chimpanzee still carry the original big. jaw gene and the apparatus . enabling them to bite and , grind the toughest foods. . "We 're not suggesting . this mutation alone defines us as Homo sapiens." said · Dr. Hansell Stedman of the · University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. "But ·-evolutionary events are ' extraordinarily rare. Over 2 million years since the · mutation, the brain has · nearly tripled in size. It's a ' very .intri~uing possi~ility." Umverstty of Mtchtgan · biological anthropologist . Milford Wolpoff called the research "just super." . "The other thing that was happening 2 1/2 million : years ago is that people . were beginning to make · tools. which enabled them . to prepare food outside · their mouths," he said. "This is a confluence of genetic and fos sil evidence." Other researchers strenui pusly disagreed that human ~e volution could literally ' hinge on a single mutation ; affecting jaw muscles, and cJhat once those mu scles ! were reduced, the brain ; suddenly could grow unfet• tered. ~ : "Such a claim is counter ~ to the fundamentals of evo! iution ," said C.

In their experiment , the Pennsylvania team isolated a new gene in an overlooked junk DNA sequence on chromosome 7. It be longs to a class of genes that express production of the protein myosin. which enables skeletal muscles to contract. Originally. the sc ientists were concentrating on determining the biological underpinnings of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a muscle-wasting disease. But once they isolated the mutation, they spent the next eight months deciphering its evolutionary impli· cations. Different types of myosin are produced in different mu scles: in the chewing and biting mu scles, the gene MYH 16 is expressed. In primates like the macaque, the jaw muscles are I 0 times more powerful than in humans. They contain high levels of MYH 16, and the thick muscles attach to bony ridges of the skull. But the Penn researchers discovered humans have a mutation that prevents the MYH 16 from accumulating, and our jaw muscles are smaller. As for when this genetic split occurred, the researchers came up with a calculation based on the widely held belief that genetic mutations occur at a constant rate. Then they looked deep into the fossil record to determine when the jaws of human ancestors started looking smaller and more streamlined. What they found confirmed their esti- · mate. As far back as 2.4 mil l ion years ago, Homo habilis, or "handy man," emerged as the earliest known species to show distinctly human skull and jaw traits, while retaining an apelike physique. Its brain grew by about 25 percent over that of its more primitive, nonhuman relatives Australopithecus and Paranthropus. This brain increase may have coincided with the first · known use of manufactured stone tools, perhaps to extract marrow from animal bones. The Homo line flourished, and finer-boned Homo varieties also developed over the years. Modern humans, or Homo sapiens, appeared about 150,000 years ago. The Penn researchers said the jaW muscle mutation opened an evolutionary struggle in which brain conquered brawn, although it probably took another million years for Australopithecus and Paranthropus to disappear, leaving the world to the Homo lineage. Critics said the study takes several wrong turns. Under the pressures of natural selection, mutations occur at differing rates. So the jaw muscle mutation might have occurred far earlier. Also, if large jaw muscles were eliminated, the plates that form the skull would have fused and the brain · compartment would not have expanded. Many additional - and simultaneous mutations probably are needed to explain all the changes seen in Homo fossils, they said. "The single mutation would have reduced the Darwinian fitness of those individuals," said anthropologist Bernard Wood of George Washington University. " It only would've become fixed if it coincided with mutations that reduced tooth size, jaw size and increased brain size. What are the chances of that?" ~ TUPPERS PLAINS VFW 9053 will have a meet· ing at 7 p.m. at the hall in Tuppers Plains. There will be a special drawing.

UNDERSTAND Hfls A CLOSET TYPE-A. Given the country's economic unhappiness, there's a definite whiff of 1992 around the Bu sh White House, but aides say they have a definite plan to dispel it. It consists of four parts: ( I) Show that the country is in better shape than it was for President Bu sh's father 12 years ago; (2 ) communicate better what this B4sh is doing for the economy; (3) blast away at the economic alternatives offered by Democrat John Kerry and ; (4) hope like hell that the job numbers start picking up . The whole 1992 experience haunts the Bush family like a grim ghost: The president's father triumphantly won the first Iraq war, saw his approval ratings shoot into the high 80s, then presided over a recession that brought his rating down to 29 percent in mid-1992. By fall 1992, the economy was recovering. but the elder Bush never managed to convince the country or the media that it was happening -- or that he was giving domestic affairs proper attention -- and the Clinton campaign made hay with the false charge that the economy was in the "worst shape since the Great Depression ." And, of course, Bu>h lost. The current Bu sh ha s done everything possible to avoid the fate of his father, chiefly trying to stimulate the economy with enormous tax cuts and spending programs and endlessly repeating the "I care" message that he will not be satisfied until every worker who wants a job has one. Yet, even though the cur· ·rent recovery is eadier and stronger by far than his father's -- by every measure excepf deficits and job creat\on -- the country's attitude about the economy is gloomy and Democrats are again charging that Bush has the worst economic Morton Kondracke record s1nce Herbert Hoover. Bush aides hasten to point out, as Part I of their "this isn't I 992" strategy, that the current unemployment rate is 5.6 percent, compared to 7 .4 percent in March !992 . Moreover, in March 1992, Bu sh 41' s economic approval rating was 17 percent (and 80 percent disapproved of his performance), while Bush 43 's current rating on the economy is 45 percent to 52 percent. Bush 41 had an overall approval rating in March 1992 of 41 percent. Bush 43 currently has 50 percent. And, while only 39 percent of voters tell Gallup that they are "satisfied" with the way things arc going in the country and 60 percent are not, in 1992 those numbers were 19 percent and 80 percent, respectively. In 1996, as President Bill Clinton faced re-election, his March job approval was 52 percent, his economic approval was 46 percent and voters were satisfied/uns atisfied by a margin of 36 percent/61 percent. Clinton. as Bush White House aide s point out, presided over a net loss of I00,000 jobs in January 1996, yet the very next month , the economy created 420,000 jobs. By Election Day, both Clinton 's economic and overall approval ratings were up to 57 percent and the satisfied/dissatisfied figure was 47-47 . Bush 41's problem was not only a lagging economy, but also a catastrophic failure of communication. And some critics see Bush 43, de spite frequent speeches on the economy, falling into the same pit. He 's tried to explain again and aga in .that the Clintonera high-tech boom was busting and the economy was moving into recession as he took office. then got hit with the Sept. I I, 2001 , terrori st attacks just as his first round of tax cuts were producing result s, then got hit again with new s of corporate scandal s and , finally, was crimped by the Iraq war. Bu sh also says hi s policie s -- making tax cuts permanent, enacting an energy bill, controlling health costs, deregulating bu siness and instituting tort reform - are the recipe for creating jobs. But the public seem s not to be li stening. The latest CBS/New York Time s poll showed that only 14 percent of voters think Bush policies have increased jobs, while 47 percent say they have decreased them . If Bush is re-elected, only 39 percent of voters said that he will likely increase jobs, vs. 50 percent who doubt it. If Kerry is elected, 53 percent think he'll increa se jobs vs. 29 percent who think he won't. For sure, Bu sh has been late in explaining why he tliinks job creation is lagging and in fighting ·what's become almost a hysteria about "outsourcing." the pattern of U.S. corporations' moving plants and jobs abroad. Despite assertions by commentators such . as CNN' s Lou Dobbs that the United States is in danger of becoming a "Third World country" because of outsourcing , the Forrester Research Institute say s that, . of the 2. 7 million jobs lost since 200 I, only 300,000 have gone abroad. Kerry has been exploiting · the mania by accusing Bush of "sending jobs abroad" and vowing to "end the . ness ." He also began blasting Kerry, though not by name, for promoting "economic isolationism," along with higher taxes and more regu· lation, that would discourage investment and endan· ger the jobs of 6.4 million U.S. workers employed by foreign companies. Kerry actually bas a better jobs plan than Republicans will give him credit for, including much greater investment in education and research and development than Bush offers. At the end of the day -that is, in November -- what really counts is whether the jobs picture actually has improved. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan say s it will. The new Manpower survey of corporations predicts it will. White House aides say they expect an increase of 140,000 jobs "over the next couple of months." One thing seems sure: If the jobs picture does improve, Bush 43 will make sure the world knows about it. T\lat's one lesson' he learned from his father. ~ E 0 SfAOO:R u i 41to llll 2004 by NEA, Inc.

Bush became a "rancher'.' in 19~, buying a spread outside Crawford, Texas, .shortly before announcing his presidential candidacy. Before acquiring the place, with its oddly immobile round bales, Bush showed no interest in country life. On working ranches, most of the hay is fed to cows; on Rancho Bush, it provides a picturesque backdrop for TV correspondents covering Bush's stays in Texas. This president rides a golf cart, not a cowpony. When they say he's "clearing brush" by hand in the August heat, my guess ' is he's watching baseball on satellite television . Either way, it's a good bet that those cows he patted at that Houston rodeo were the first he'd touched since attending the same event during the 2000 campaign. He's a Texas cliche: an urban millionaire who buys livestock to certify his authenticity. If Martha Stewart had grown up in Dallas , she'd market designer branding iron s, and Bush would buy them . That said, cowboy imagery has been politically useful to Bush, and could prove so again , unles s presumptive Democratic nominee John Kerry learns to counter it In the iconography of the Hollywood cowboy movie, real men are real simple. Guy s who give complicated explanations are womanish , indeci sive and untrustworthy. Gene Lyons Making a virtue of necessity, Bush plays the straight-talking man of action to great effect. It's basically how he gets away with so many falsehoods without · being seen as deceptive. Never mind that better westerns like "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" and Clint Eastwood's "Unforgiven" have played against this stereotype for a generation. Or that Sen. Kerry's an authentic war hero running against a guy who plays one on television . As an eastern intellectual who talks like a book, Kerry risks coming off like Jimmy Stewart to Bush's John Wayne in "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence." . Kerry shouldn't underestimate Bu sh. Inarticulate at times, he delivers scripted line s with great conviction. He' s got a knack for sarcastic putdowns. Having reportedly resented people like Kerry -- sons of privi· lege, whose achievements match their pedigrees -since hi s own New England prep school days, Bu sh effectively mocked hi s rival in remarks at a Dallas fundraiser widely replayed on television. "The (Democratic) candidates are an interesting group with diverse opin ions," Bush said with a smirk. "For tax cuts and against them, for NAFTA and against NAFTA, for the Patriot Act and against , the Patriot Act, in favor of liberating Iraq and opposed to it. And that's just one senator from Massachusetts. " OK. so two of Bush's four examples are brazenly false. Kerry voted against Bush's million s-for-millionaires lax cuts, correclly predicting that they would blow a hole in the federal budget. Also , "liberating Iraq" never came up for a vote. It became Bush 's fallback position after Saddam Hussein 's "weapons of mass destruction" turned out to be figments of neoconservative imagination. Kerry explains his October 2002 vote giving Bush something he already had, the option to use force in Iraq (the United States bombed Saddam regularly under Clinton), as a response to the president's. vow to build an international coalition, respect the U.N. arms inspection process, and make war the last resort -- promises he says Bush broke. What Kerry can't say, of course, is that to the degree his Iraq vote reflected politic,al calculation, Bush made it so : scheduling a war vote before a congressional election, as his father refused to do in 1990. The other two charges are almost as phony. Kerry doe sn't want to repeal NAFfA . He wants the United States to enforce environmental and worker safety rules that trade rivals gain a competitive advantage by ignoring. As for the Patriot Act, with its of Fourth violation __ ____ ..,,.. , ' ____ .. __ ,_ -- --~ - --- Amendment guarantees against unreasonable search and seizure, Kerry explains his vote as an emergency response to 9/1 1. II For Ke,rry and others, what made parts of the Patriot Act supportable was a "s~nset clause" limiting its tluration to three years, forcing Congress to revisit its most troubling aspect s, such as warrantless, secreq searches. Bush now portr~ys that review as unpatriotic. The White House pulled a similar bait and switch with tax cut~; getting them enacted by affixing expiration dates it ,now calls tax increases. But see, eyen a terse refutation of ~ush's charge that Kerry's an unprincipled flip-flopper takes quite a few words. To win, Kerry can't simp! y defend himself. He must take the offensive. Writing in Slate, fellow Texan Will Saletan argues that the bait and switch argument -- Kerry calls Bush "the biggest say-one-thing, do-another" president ever -- won't cut it . People don't believe that cowboys lie. Instead, he argues that Bush's real weakness is his near-theological certitude, his bull-headed inability to admit error, perceive contrary facts, or change his mind . "Ignorance is not the problem in the world," that great Oklahoma cowboy Will Rogers used to say. "It's the things people 'know' that aren't so." He'd also warn Bush that in riding ahead of the herd, it's a good idea to look back now and then to make sure it's still behind you . .. ·- · .......... _ .,... .

Geraldine Jensen, 5 I, founded the Association for Children for Enforcement of Support in 1984 because of her struggles to get child support for her two children. She placed a newspaper ad seeking out other parents in her position. Later, a letter about the small group written by a woman in Lima to advice columnist Ann Landers appeared in newspaper~ nationwide. ":That' s how we became na1\onal," Jensen said W. dnesday. "My goal was to ge a Lucas County case worker who worked on my case and did nothing fired. Instead we changed the whole system." N~ w there are about 50,000 merljbers in chapters nation wide . Among the changes the organization has helped establish was the collection of child support payments from paychecks, Jensen said . Her crusade also took her to Congress where she told lawmakers that allowing parents Ito dodge child-support payments leaves more kids livihg in poverty. She was the subject of a television movie in 1995 and fought tQ make states computerize their child- support collection systems . The organization two years ago forced Ohio to pay back $38 million in overdue child support payments and income tax refunds that the state improperly withheld from poor families. Jensen decided to reti re when she was elected to a fou r-year term as president in 2000, she said. She plans to stay on the board of directors after stepping down in July. "There 's 1 ti me for all things," she said . "I've put a lot of my own money and energy into the organi zation." The association, which moved its headquarters from Toledo to Fredericksburg, Ya., a year ago , has hired Debbie Kline of Cleveland to be its executive director to handle some of Jensen's duties. A new president will be elected in July. The organization has been forced to overcome funding shortfall s and that was one reason the To ledo office closed, Kline said. "A lot of the non-profits have taken severe hits because o( the economy," she said. The group also has been dealing with the alleged theft of about $80.000. A former administrative assistant has been charged with forgery and credit-card fraud and faces a trial later this year. Jensen and Kline said the change in leadership had nothing to do with the fraud case and that the move was planned long before.

A study by researchers at the University of Dayton concludes that large public subsidies for the construction of major league baseball stadtums are unnecessary. Economics professors Marc Poitras and Larry Hadley examined the 13 stadiums built between 1989 and 200 l and concluded teams would probably recover all or nearly all the cost of construction if the ballparks were bui It with private money in stead of taxpayer money. ''The bottom line is that these new stadiums generate sufficient revenue to pay for themselves," Hadley said Wednesday. "If the stadium pays for itself internally, that should be sufficient motivation for the owners to build it." "Amen," said Jerry Geisel of suburban Kettering, a Chicago Cubs fan and season ticket holder for the minor league Dayton Dragons. He opposes public financing of stadiums. "It's a business," Geisel said. He said taxpayers wouldn't give a private . company money to construct a new buildin~ but they are willing to pay for baseball stadt: urns.

With the first season in a typical $268 milhan. stad1um expected tu produce about $33 m1lhon, halt the cost of construction would be recovered in five years and all of the cost in 12 years, the study said.

"It' s not about the umpires. He mi ssed, and I mis sed too," Acevedo said. "It' s all part of the game. Be consistent , just throw the pitch where you want ,it." The Reds have been impressed with Acevedo's · pitches for years . The way he uses them often gave pause·. He was one of four pitchers called up from Double-A in 200 I, when the Red s decided to put some of their top prospects on the fast track. At one point, the rotation included four rookies. His rapid ascent soon leveled off. Acevedo has bounced between the majors and Triple-A in each of the last two seasons, falling off the fast track. He even wound up pitching out of the bullpen, a foreboding sign in an organization that had plenty of relievers but was desperate for starters. He made · a good last impression last season, getting Miley's attention after a ·promotion in late July . Acevedo made one relief appearance and fo ur starts, go mg 3- 1. Mil ey noticed that Acevedo was showing more composure and more maturi ty, especially when things went wrong. He 's had the same demeanor this spring, keeping him in contention for a job. "I guess the way to put it is mound yre sence," Miley said. "Mi stake s are going to happen , and sometimes it's how you allow a mi stake to affect you on the mound. 1 think that's one thing he's taken a giant step with.

SY ALAN ROBINSON Associated Press BRADENTON, Fla. - For a team looking to improve what was· the NL's worst bullpen las t season, the Pittsburgh Pirates went shopptng m the most curious of places: the Philadelphia Phillies' scrap heap. R~ther than sp~ ndin g money to Sign or trade for a top-level closer, as the Phillies did by dealing for Billy Wagner, the low -budget Pirate s watched the waiver wire, sifted through the dimrrd pile and came up wtth Jose Mesa. Yes. the same Mesa who was routinely blamed for all that went wrong with the Phillies a year ago. when the wild card berth that seemed to be theirs was snatched away in September by the Florida Marlins, who went on to win the World Series. The same Mesa whose 6.52 ERA was about four runs per game higher th an most managers prefer in a closer. The same Mesa who was relegated to a setup role in September, after manager Larry Bowa determined he cou ld no longer entrust late-inning leads with him. The same Mesa who was accused of showing his frustration by physically confronting a reporter following a game. With not much money to spend after downsizing their payroll by nearly $20 million, the Pirates were forced to take chances. and Jose Mesa would seem to be one of the biggest chances of all. "We st ill think he's got something left in the tank.'' manager Lloyd McClendon said. Mesa does, too, even if his 2003 statistics (5-7 record. 71 hits and 31 walks allowed in 58 innings, an average of nearly 16 base runners per nine innings) wouldn 't seem to suggest so. "All you want in baseball is to get your opportunity to pttch and get an opportunit y to play, and l don't think we've got a bad team over here," Mesa said. "I think we can sneak up on somebody because, you know, this game 's a crazy game. A good example is what 1he Marli.ns did last year. Nobody expected them to win and they won the whole thing. You never know what's going to happen." . Mesa isn 't about to predict the Pirates, who finished 7587 during their II th consecutive losing season, will be this season's version of the Marlins or the 2002 Anaheim Angels. But Mesa sees a young, sohd and improving pitching staff anchored by Kip Wells and Kris Benson that could be much better than predicted, and some solid setup men in Mark Guthrie, Brian Boehringer and Juan Acevedo. And he sees an opportunity to revive his career at an age he will be 38 ip May - when many closers have retired or settled into less-stressful roles. "So far. so . good ," said Mesa, who was unscored upon in his first seven spring appearances. "It's working out pretty good and I' m throwing my stuff the way I want it." The Pirates didn't promise him the closer's job when they signed him two months ago, only the opportunity to compete. They were wit hout a closer · after dealing Mi ke Williams to the Phillies last season - Williams later succeeded Mesa as their closerand failing to re-sign Julian Tavarez, who had II late-season saves a year ago. Even after signing Mesa. they still sought to sign former Marlins closer Ugueth Urbina until thi s week , when it became evident he would cost too much. Mesa hasn't criticized Bow a or the Phillies since signing with Pittsburgh, but said he likes how McClendon and his coaches talk openly and fre quently with the players.

Still, Mesa insists he thinks little <!bout the Phillies. even though he had Ill saves for them from 200 1-03. "I don't have anything to prove to the Phillies." he said.

All they have to do to keep advancmg in the East Regional is beat UConn. At the Hartford Civic Center, the Huskies' second home . In front of 16,000 fans who bleed UConn blue. "We've talked a lot about the mountains we wanted to climb this year and getting through this one was one of the mountains," UCSB coach Mark French said. "Now we've got another one looming in front of us in Connecticut that we're eager to climb." The East and West semifi- mils are Saturday, while the Mideast and Mtdwest start Sunday. All the No. 1 seeds are still tn contention: Tennessee, Penn State, Texas and Duke. UConn, Purdue and Vanderbilt advanced as No. 2 seeds. "A lot of the uncertaintr, has gone out of it, hasn't it?' said Georgia coach Andy Landers, whose third-seeded team advanced in the West Regional. "As it's shaken down, it's looking more ·like all the favorites are strong · again." A look at the round of 16: EAST REGIONAL AT HARTFORD, CONN, SATURDAY Connecticut (27-4) vs. UC Santa Barbara (27-6) Penn State (27-5) vs. Notre Dame (2J -10) Penn State beat Virginia Tech on Tech's home floor arid now faces the possibility of needing to beat Connecticut in front of a hostile crowd to reach the Final Four. !Jut first, the Lady Lions must deal with Notre Dame and its tough matchup zone. The Irish have held 14 of th~ir last 18 opponents to fewer than 60 pomts and have a go-to player in Jacqueline Batteast, who scored 27 in a second-round victory over Middle Tennessee . Penn State has two-time Kelly All-American . .t-.-----· Mazzante, but the key for the Lady Lions might beTanisha Wright, who scored 26 of the team's first 36 points against Virginia Tech. Connecticut lost two of four games at the end of the regular season, but the Huskies seem to be on a fast track now after dispatching Penn and Auburn. UCSB hopes to cause UConn problems with 6-foot8 Lindsay Taylor, a good shot blocker with a nice shooting touch. Kristen Mann can score from the wing, and transfer April McDivitt brings big-game experience from her days at Tennessee. Connecticut, though, has two-time Naismith Award winner Diana Taurasi, and she's usually tbe difference in NCAA tournament games. MIDEAST REGIONAL At Norfolk, Va. Duke (29-3) vs. Louisiana Tech (29-2) Boston College (27-6) vs. Minnesota (23-8) This is tbe last go-round for Duke stars Alana Beard and Ieiss Tillis, who are missing only a nationai championship from their list of accomplishments. To keep moving toward that goal, the Blue Devils will have to handle Louisiana Tech's speed and pressure defense. The Lady Techs~ers have won 21 straight. guard Lindsay With Whalen back, Minnesota is better than the average No. 7 seed. After missing the last seven regular-season games with a broken hand, Whalen has scored 46 points in tbe Gophers' NCAA wins, including an 80-61 romp past second-seeded Kansas- State. Third-seeded Boston College barely slipped past Eastern Michigan in the first round but was impressive in beating Ohio State 63-48 on the Buckeyes' floor Monday. MIDWEST REGIONAL At Norman, Okla. Sunday Tennessee (28-3) vs. Baylor (26-8) Stanford (266) vs. Vanderbilt (26-7) Tennessee, the top overall seed, has a ton of tradition and a talented team. The Lady Vols are in the regional semifinals for the 23rd straight year; they've lost in this round only four times. Fourth-seeded Baylor advanced to the round of 16 for the first time despite losmg No. 2 · scorer Steffame Blackmon to a knee injury in the Big 12 tournament. Stanford was sensational on defense in its first two tournament games, giving up just 44 and 43 points, and will need a similar effort against Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt will have to deal with Stanford All-American Nicole Powell, who can post up, drive or score from the perimeter. The Commodores come in with a 10-game winning streak and freshmen playing two key positions point guard Dee Davis and center Carla Thomas. WEST REGIONAL Saturday Texas (30-4) vs. LSU (257) Purdue (29-3) vs. Georgia (24-9) This is the only regional with the four top seeds still • playing. Purdue has won 20 of its last 21 games and has four seniors determined to go as far they can, including second-team All-American Shereka Wright. It's also a team with an eye for style. The players have taken to wearing black kneehigh socks to go with their black sneakers. "They make us look quicker," Wright said. Georgia could give Purdue problems inside with 6-5 Christi Thomas and 6-2 Jessica Pierce. Plus, the Lady Bulldogs have quickness on the perimeter with Sherill Baker, J anese Hardrick and Alexis Kendrick. Texas is seeking a second straight Final Four trip and has the ingredients to get there depth, inside strength with Stacy Stephens, versatility with Heather Schrieber, and leadership with point guard Jamie Carey. The Longhorns won their first two games by a total of 54 points. LSU has survived with assistant Pokey Chatman running the team in place of ailing coach Sue Gunter. The fourth-seeded Lady Tigers have rising stars in sophomore Seimone Augustus and two of the quickest guards anywhere in 5-3 Temeka Johnson and 5-9 Doneeka · Hodges.

When it wins, he will draw trumps and score seven spades and either two diamoncls or one di amond and one club. However, the defenders have an answer. West leads the heart king, and East. alter overtaking with the ace, re turns a heart. West takes two more tricks in the suit and East discards a diamond- he has three left. Now West plays a fourth heart. If declarer ruffs in the dummy, he cannot pick up the spade queen. so he mu st trump in hand. East throws another diamond - down to two. Sout h leads a diamon d. but West flies in with hi s ace; East is left with a single stone. Now comes West's last hea rt , on which East jettis ons his final diamond. Again, South must ruff in hand . but when he plays a diamond to dummy's queen, Eas t trumps to defeat the contract. Did you foresee that? At the end, South said, "Sorry, partn er, t was too strong.

' ·NCAA Toumament Associated Press EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J . - If Chris Paul wants to see hi s future he needs only to look across the court at Jameer Nelson on Thursday night. Paul. the skinny freshman point guard . with the quick tirst step, innate passing 5ense and solid jump shot, will be running the offense for fourth-seeded Wake Forest, as he has from his first game. Nelson, ihe muscular senior P.?int guard with very similar offensive skills and the bene tit of 123 college starts. will handle the ball for top-seeded Saint Joseph's, as he has for the last four years. . All eyes wilt be on the two stars when they me~t in the East Rutherford Regional. · "''m hoping experience and a Iittle bit of size pays off," Saint Joseph's coach Phil Martelli said. The 5-foot-11. 190-pound Nelson is an inch shorter but 20 pounds heavier than Paul. "You can't make it all about them. We all have to guard Paul and they all have to guard Jameer." Nelson, a unanimous selection for the All-America team, averaged 20.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 5.2 assists while shooting 49 percent from the field and 80 percent from the free-throw line. Paul was the Atlantic Coast Conference rookie of the year and was selected to the league's all-defensive team after leading it with 2.7 steals a game. He averaged 14.9 points, 3.4 rebounds and 5.8 assists while shooting 50 percent from the field and 84 percent from the free· throw line. Paul's most recent games- one in the ACC tournament and the tirst two rounds of the NCAA toumamenl - have been his most impressive. He has 81 points. 22 assists and just three turnovers in those games. "He's done a great job," Nelson said, referring to Paul. "He seems to be a natural point guard. He's so calm out there and that's what a team needs a point guard to OPENING ROUND AIUOAnno o.tondo, Ra. t.lsslaslppi 5Wm 65, Morvroolh, N.J . -- Florldaii&M72.~ s1 52 xavier eo, L.ouiMie 7ll -- EAST RlmiEAFOIIO REGtONAl AtHSiiC-. v. 5undly,Min:h21 -..,N.c.

"My teammates will never let me not know I'm a freshman," he said, laughing. "At shootarounds or in the hotels my nickname is always 'Rookie' or 'Freshman.' They never call me Chris. Coach told me early in the season he didn't need me to play like a freshman, he needed me to play like an NCAA point guard." And that's what he was with 22 points and seven assists in the opening round against Virginia Commonwealth, and 29 points and six assists in the second round against Manhattan. "He is T.J. Ford reincarnated," Martelli said, comparing Paul with Texas' All- America point guard from last season. 'Tm amazed at his speed, his calm. He hits big shot after big shot, and not only hits them, he wants to take them. "When I watch him I think, That was what it was like when we had Jameer as a freshman.' I don't know all of the freshmen in the country, but if there's anybody who's had more of an impact on their team than he has had on this team, God bless him." Wake Forest coach Skip Prosser played down the one-on-one matchup, but he looks at Nelson and sees what could be Paul's future. "You look at the difference between Chris and Jameer physically and I think that's a natural maturation," Prosser said. "He'll get stronger as he gets older. He's going to play, and he's done pretty well. "As I've said ad infinitum, ad nauseam. I wouldn't trade him for any point guard in the country." British cave explorers rescued, A2 harder to get Russians into NHL BY RUSTY .MIU.ER Associated Press COLUMBUS European hockey prospect Alexander Ovechkin, considered the top player available in the NHL's June draft, may not end up playing in the league anytime soon unless it is able to strike a player-transfer agreement with the sport's interna· tiona! ruling body. William Daly, the NHL's exec utive. vice president and chief legal officer, said Wednesday that the NHL's player· transfer contract with the International Ice Hockey Federation concludes at the end of thi s season. Some clubs in the Russian elite league have said they do not wish to be a pan of any new agreement. "They seem to prefer, at least some clubs in the Russian league, to negotiate individually as opposed to being paid on a formula basis because they think they . make out better. that way," Daly said. "We informed the IIHF that we don't have an interest in doing a new player-transfer agreement if they don ' t have the Ru ssians included. That's kind of where it sits right now." Of course, there may nor be a 2004-2005 NHL season anyway because of th e stalemate between management and the players' association over a hard salary cap. Ovechkin , a left wing for Dynamo Moscow, is considered the most talented player available in the NHL's June draft. Pittsburgh Penguins GM Craig Patrick has called him "head and shoulders" above everyone else in the druft class. Florida Panthers GM Rick Dudley said that Ovechkin is "the best prospect I've seen in 20 years in this business." With the · NHL season winding down, Pittsburgh (53 points ), Columbu s (54) and Washington (55) are vying for the inside track. to the No. I overall pick. The team with the worst record (and fewest points) in the league has the best chance of grabbing· the No. I selection. Without a player-transfer agreement, it would likely take lon ger to get European players into NHL uniforms. Earlier this season Nikolai Zherdev, a 19year-o ld ri ght wing who was the Blue Jackets' first-round pick in the 2003 draft, tlew out of Russia to ·Canada and eventua lly joined the club. His Red Army team in the Russian Elite League protested, saying Zherdev still had military obligations in Russian. A mediator later determined that the NHL and the Blue Jackets had met all criteria to bring Zherdev to the NHL. Daly said the future of any player-transfer agreement would be decided by the Russian e lite leag ue . "It 's uncertain at this point. basically, how their voting mec hanism works as to how the Russian league as a whole goes and whether they agree to be part of a new agreement," Daly said. Daly is visiting NHL cities and talking to clubs about the impending negotiations on the league' s collective bargaining agreement , which exp ires in September. Many believe there will be a work stoppage because of the gulf between the league and the players' association over the financial health of NHL team s.
