Progress in·talks, but no deal BY RONALD BLUM Associated Press NEW YORK - Baseball players and owners . have maoe progress toward toughening rules on steroid testing but still have not reached an agreement. Commissioner Bud Selig. who has called for more frequent testing and harsher penalties, told Colorado Gov. Bill Owens two weeks ago that an agreement was near. Owens said Monday. Gene Orza, the union's chief operating otlicer, said that while the discussions toward a new agreement had advanced, there was more work to be done. "We've had a series of discussions with clubs. and m many respects they've been fruitful." he said Monday after the union opened its annual executive board meeting.."But to suggest we have a deal that either is going to be ratified by the executive board this week or is going to be put in place shortly is simply not right." Orza said discussions will continue. Selig wants tougher rules in place by opening day. "I won' t say we ' re a long ways away," Orza said of an agreement. "I don' t want to say it's not possible. I just can't guarantee it." Currently, players are tested once from the start of spring training through the end of the regular season. Selig wants additional tests, some in the offseason. and more substances added to the banned list. Under the agreement in place, scheduled to run until December 2006. players do not face suspensions until their second positive test for steroids. In the wake of reports that Barry Bonds, Jason Giambi and Gary Sheffield told a federal grand jury they used steroids, Sen. John McCain has threatened to propose fed- era! legislation that would override the drug-testing provisions in baseball's collectiw bargaining agreement. Owens called Selig two weeks ago, telling him Colorado could enact its own steroid rules for players visiting Coors Field, "As a big fan, I told him something needed to be done." Owens said. "He said they were close to reaching an agreement.'' Owens hosts a monthly sports and highlights show on a regional network . " It's clear some of them don't want this," he said of players. "The union has been dragging its feet for reasons that are hard to understand.'' Selig had surgery Monday in New York to remove a cancerous lesion from his forehead and was not available for comment on Owens· remarks. Rob Manfred, baseball's executive vice president of labor relations, dedined to comment on the talks. "If we cannot re.solve this issue privately. I gladly will accept whatever help is offered by Senator McCain to achieve our ultimate goal," Selig said in a statement Monday. "I appreciate the support of Senator McCain," Selig said, adding that the "illegal use of these substances is damaging" baseball's credibility. "Perhaps, most damaging, it encourages our young fans to use these horrible substances." Selig said. "While I would prefer to resolve this problem directly with the players' association and jointly implement a much stronger drug-testing policy in major league baseball, one modeled after our program 111 the minor leagues, I understand the need for swift and resolute action." Reporters were barred from the lobby by Roy al Palms Resort and Spa. preventing them from having access to must players at the meeting. "We committed to them that we would provide a quiet. intimate location for their meeting. ami that 's what we 've committed to do," Greg Miller. the hotel's general manager, said.' Union spokesman Greg Bouris said the decision was made hy the hotel. "They're just trying tu respect the privacy of their guests, I would assume," Bouris said. After arriving at the hotel , Rich Aurilia declined to comment. Reached on his cell phone, even the usually talkative Curt Schilling refused to discuss steroids. Baseball didn 't ban steroids until Sept. 30. 2002, and testing for steroids with penalties started only this year. Each player is tested once from the sturt of spnng training through the end of the regular season, and a first positive test results in counseling. A player who tests positive a second time could be suspended for 15 days, and discipline rises to a one-year suspension for a fifth positive test. Players with minor league contracts are not covered by · collective bargaining. They are tested four times per year, in and out of season, and have a wider list of banned substances, including Human Growth Hormone and amphetamines. They are subject to a 15-game suspension for a first positive steroid test, a one-year penalty for a fourth positive test and a lifetime ban from the minors for a fifth positive test. ''The-minor league program has been very etlective at getting us to very low positive rates in the minor leagues," Man fred said. Chicago White Sox general manager Kenny Williams said possible steroid use had become a factor he weighed in evaluations of trades and signings. BEIJING - China has banned a Nike television commercial showing Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James in a battle with an animated cartoon kung fu master, saying the ad insults Chinese national dignity. The commercial , titled "Chamber of Fear," was broadcast on local Chinese stations and on state television's national sports channel before being pulled last month. It shows James, the Cleveland Cavaliers' reigning NBA rookie of the year, in a video game-style setting defeating the kung fu master, two women in traditional Chinese attire and a pair of dragons, considered a sacred symbol in traditional Chinese cultur~. The advertisement "violates regulations that . mandate that all advertisements in China should uphold national dignity and interest and respect the motherland 's culture," the State Administration for Radio, Film and Television said on a statement posted Monday on its Web site. "It also goes against rules that require ads not to contain content that blasphemes national practices and cultures." The statement added: "The ad has received an indignant response · from Chinese viewers." It did not say why the advertisement was considered offensive.

The demonstrators, . su pporters of opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko , have grown impatient over lack of pn1gress in approving the electoral amendme nts sought for the Dec. 26 repeat vote. Yushchenko supporters say the changes will close loopholes for fraud that marred the Nov. 21 runoff and prompted the Supreme Court to cancel the victory of Kremlin-backed Prime Mini ster Vik.tor Yanukovych . But a loose coalition of communists, so,iali,ts ,and pro-gove rnm en t factions in parliament agreed to pass the on ly electoral changes ~ther ~ith constitutional changes. which would turn some presidential p(iwers over to parliament. Yushchenko has balked at the change,, 'aying that all ic' of outgoi ng President Leonid Kuchma want to weaken hi s authority shou ld he win. In a deve lopment that could have a dramatic effect on the rematch. the Times of London Web site reported late Tuesday that doctors who treated Yushchenko for a mysterious illness during the initial campaign have determined there "was an attempt on hi s life" with a biological or chemical agent or a rare poison. 'There is no longer a questio n for discussion,'' the newspaper quoted Dr. Ni kolai Korpan, who treated Yushchenko at the ·Rudolfn eFhaus clinic 111 Vienna, Austria. "We are now sure that we can confirm which substance cause this illness. He re ceived this substance from other people who had a spec ific aim." Tile newspaper then said it · a-;ked Korpan if the aim had been to kill Yushchenko, to which the doctor was quoted as responding: "Yes. of course." Yushchenko fell ill September 6 and was rushed to the Vienna clinic four days later. Yu shchenko has accused the Ukrainian authorities of poisoning him. His detrac.tors suggested he'd eaten some bad sushi. Known for his ru ggedly handsome, a! most movie star looks, Yushchenko's skin now is severely pockmarked. Hi s face is haggard , swollen and partially paralyzed. One eye often tears up. Late last month, Korpaq had said the cause of Yushchenko's · illness remained "totally open." He told the Times on Tuesday that the substance that was administered to Yushchenko would be identified in a matter of days, but physicians needed him to return to Vienna for an examination. "We need to check him again here in Vienna. If we received him today, we could finish the whole investigation in two or three days," Korpan was quoted. · In Sofia, Bulgaria, Secretary of State Colin Powell rejected Russian charges of Western political manipulation in Ukraine's electoral proce ss.

' The Daily Sentinel • Subscribe today • 992-2 155 LAW YOU CAN USE Save Taxes and Money, Too Americans are always looking for new ways to save taxes. Now there is another way to save taxes when you save money Health Savillgs Accounts (HSAs). Witli- an HSA, you can save for medical emergencies on a tax-free basis. Q:: How can I qualify for an HSA? A.: In order to qualify. you must be covered under a " high-ded uctible health plan" or "HDBP." An HDHP is a · health in surance plan that has an a nnu al deductible of at least $1 ,000 for an individual or $2,000 for a family. Of course, you do not qualify if, in addition to the HDHP. you are covered under another health plan (such as Medicare) . Finally, you do not qualify if you are claimed as a dependent on anyone else's income tax return . Q.: How can 1- open an HSA? A.: You can open an HSA with a bank or other institution, much as you would open an IRA . The contribution to the HSA is limited to the annual deductible under th~ HDHP, up to a maximum of $2,600 for an individual or $5,150 for a family. Q.: Is an HSA tax· deductible? A.: Yes. With a tniditional IRA , you gel a deduction up front and you get taxed on withdrawal. With a ROTH IRA , you· get no deduction up front, but you also do not get taxed on withdrawal. With the HSA, you get the be st of both worlds. Contributions to an HSA are tax-deductible, just like a traditional IRA, even if you do not itemize your deduc- lions. The funds in the plan grow without being taxed. Like a Roth IRA. "qualified distributions" from the HSA also are not taxable . Q.: "What is an HSA "qualified distribution"? A.: Qualified distributions are medical expenses that are not covered by insurance or any other program, and that you, your spouse or your dependents pay for out of your own pDl:ket. Qualified di stributions include: medical insurance deductibles. over-the-counter medications, plan co-pay ments, etc. Premiums for health insurance are not considered qualified di stribution s. However. long- term care insurance, COBRA continuation coverage, and health coverage while receiving unemployment compen sation all qualify. For example, if you ate in a 30 percent tax bracket. a $1,000 contribution would really cost you $700 after taxes. If you invested that $1,000 at 7 percent for ten years, you would have $2,000. If you use this to pay for medical expenses. you would have completely avoided income tax on the money you invested in the HSA account. · Q.: Can I make distributions for purposes other than medical expenses? A.: If you are fortunate enough not to have medical expenses down the road, you can make distributions for other purposes, but you would be taxed on the money withdrawn, and face a I0 percent penalty as well. Q.: What if there's still money in my account when I die? Can my wife use it? A. : If you die with mone-y in the account, your spouse can continue to hold th e account and use it a~ you would have . If the account goes to someone other than your spouse. that benefi ciary would have 10 withdraw the funds and pay income tax on the withdrawal (but no penalty tax). While not everyone qualifies for an HSA, if you qua lify it is a great vehicle to save for future medical expelbes. With medical expenses ri smg quickly, this is a great way t,o save for the future . From a tax perspective, wit h an l-ISA you get the best of IRAs and ROTH IRAs. The HSA is one of the few legitimate ways you can avoid ever paying tax on some of the money you earn. A qualified estate planning attorney can help you determine if an HSA fits into your overall goals.

The International Steel Group Inc. Warren coke plant ships 545,000 tons of coke each year to the steelmaking operations lSG acquired in 2002 from bankrupt LTV Corp., plant Manager Jeff Foster said. It's good news that ISG can produce that much coke inhouse as the industry scrambles to find the fuel, which sells for top dollar these days if companies can find it. Prices for raw materials such as coke and scrap have more than doubled from last year, mainly because China is buying all it can find to feed its rapidly growing steel industry, . puttmg a squeotzeI on m·akers elsewhere in the world. Coke is burned to melt iron ore into molten iron in a blast furnace. ISG doesn't sell its co!ee to other steelmakers it needs to use all it can for itself because of the shortage. Competitor U.S. Steel Corp., the largest U.S. coke producer, is the only major domestic company that sells cake to other steelmakers, and even it is cutting back. The Pittsburgh-based company plans not to renew its coke contracts with other steelmakers, and all but one end this year, spokesmai1 b. John Armstrong said Monday. "We are essentially going to keep that coke for use by U.S. Steel," Armstrong said. "We· ve decided !his is the best situation for our company." That makes. maintaining inhouse coke production extremely important for ISG and other companies that can't afford even a short let-up in coke supply: Steel prices and demand are surging, giving the once-ailing industry a prime . opportunity to boost profits. ISG has been stepping up efforts to keep its aging Warren coke mill in tiptop shape, including replacing bricks on a 25-year-old, 250-foot combustion gas srack.lfthe stack stops working, gas to 85 ovens in the plant could be cut off. jeopardizing the entire operation, said Joe Magni, the pl.ant's manager of engineering. ISG also will install a · device to monitor the opacity, or clearness, of the combustion gas, Foster •aid. The monitor will be installed on a . new platform about 60 feet above ground to meet a new requirement to check the opacity every six minutes. Richfield-based ISG and other steelmakers, including Middletown-based AK Steel also have tried to combat the costs associated with the coke! • shortage by locking intq fixed-priced, long-term con: tracts with suppliers .of cok~ that the steel companies don'l produce themselves. l Just last week, AK Steel announced a contract wit~ • Pittsburgh-based Shenangq Inc. through the end of 2009, for all AK Steel's anticipatticl coke purchases. : ISG , the nation's largest inte~ gmted steel maker, was formed in 2002 after New York buyouj firm WL Ross & Co. pur~ chased the remnants of banlq rupt LTV Corp.

Payout: $11·14 million CINCINNATI (AP) -The Bengal s expect to see plenty of running on Sunday by New England's Corey Dillon , who made it to three Pro Bowls during his .c areer in Cincim1ati. The trouble for the Bengals is there's a lot more to the Patriots ' offense. "You're not playing against Corey, you're playing against a scheme and an offense. They have other guys. It 's not tennis," said Bengal s linebacker Brian Simmons. a former teammate of Dillon. Still, Simmons expects a steady dose of carries by Dillon, the Bengals' career rushing leader with 8,061 yards. '"They're going to give him the ball and he's going to run.'" Simmons said. "It's as simple as that. ... We knew when he .left here he was a good running back ." . Dillon became disgruntled in Cincinnati and was traded to the Patriots in April for a second-round draft pick used to select safety Madieu Williams. now one of the ,Bengals' most promising young players. Williams has started nine of 12 ga me s this season. intercepting three passes and breaking up nine others while making 74 tackles. "Both teams are happy about the trade," Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said. Dillon ran for 100 yards and two touchdowns last weekend in a 42-15 victorv at Cleveland. the Patriots: fifth consecutive win. He is third in the NFL this year with 1.221 yards rushing and has scored nine touchdowns. But the Patriots showed plenty of balance against the Browns. Bethel Johnson returned the opening ki ckoff 93 yards for a touchdown and Tom Brady passed for 157 yards and a touchdown before taking a seat late in the third quarter - with the Patriots up by five touchdown s.

Garciaparra agreed to an $8 million, one-year contract to remain with the Cubs, the team that acquired him from the Red Sox at the end of July. If he stays healthy, he could make up to $11 million with Chicago. "I really loved playing there, I really loved the experience I had in the short time I was there," he said. just felt Chicago is the best place for me. I'm looking forward to going out there and, hopefully, turnin~ this into a long-term relationship." · Chicago also agreed to a· $2.5 million, one-year contract with second baseman Todd Walker. Philadelphia agreed to a $5.25 million, two-year deal wilh left-hander Rhea! Cormier, and Seattle settled on a $1.75 million, one-year contract with catcher Dan Wilson. Houston agreed to two deals, an '*' $800,000, one-year contract with outfielder Orlando Palmeiro and a minor league contract with righthander Russ Springer. Also, righthander Kevin Appier launched another comeback bid, agreeing to a minor league contract with the Kansas City Royals. Boston offered arbitration to Martinez , Derek Lowe· and Jason Varitek along with shortstop Orlando Cabrera, pitchers Pedro Astacio and Mike Myers, infielder Pokey Reese and first baseman David McCarty. Players offered arbitration have until Dec. 19 to accept the offers and can re-sign through Jan . 8. If teams don't offer arbitration, they can't re-sign their former free agents until May I. "Some of them were offered arbitration with the understanding they won't accept arbitration," Red Sox general manager Thea Epstein said. "That simply extends our window. Sometimes making good decisions takes time." In addition, teams get amateur draft picks as compensation when they offer arbitration to top free agents who sign elsewhere. Because of that, several deals that were close to completion will be finalized once the deadline passes.

IOC opens investigation Players authorize union to reach new steroid agreement into doping claims against Marion Jones BY BETH DEFALCO Associated Press Bv STEPHEN WtLSON Associated Press LONDON - The {OC opened an investigation Tuesday into doping allegations against Marion Jones, who could eventually be stripped of her five medals from the 2000 Olympics. International Olympic Commiltee president Jac~ues Rogge se! up a disctphnary commJsswn to look into the claims made by Victor Conte. head of the California-based lab accused of illegaliy distributing steroids. Conte told ABC's "20/20" in a broadcast aired Fnday that he gave Jones performance-enhancing drugs before and after the Sydney Olympics. He said he watched Jones inject herself with human growth hormone. "The allegations made by Mr. Conte are extremely serious and the IOC is fully committed to bringing to light any elements that will help the truth prevail," the IOC said in a statement. Jones won lhree gold medals ( I00 meters, 200 and I ,600 relay) and two bronze (long jump and 400 relay) in Sydney. She repeatedly has denied ever using banned drugs, and has threatened to sue Conte for defamation. Attorney Rich Nichols reiterated that Jones has consistently denied use of performance-enhancing drugs, passed a lie detector test and has maintained the same physical appearance. "Victor Conte is someone who is under federal indictment, facing serious prison time and has a record of issuing a host of contradictory, inconsistent statements," Nichols said in a statement. "Victor Conte's allegations will are not true and the truth be revealed for the world to see as the Ie~al process moves forward.' U.S. Olympic The Committee did not immediately return a call seeking comment. World Anti-Doping Agency chief Dick Pound, a senior IOC member, has said Jones should be stripped of her medals if Conte is telling the truth. Any decision on the medals would be made by the IOC executive board. Rogge ad vacates a "zero tolerance" policy on doping. "I hope lhe truth will emerge,' he said last week. "We want the truth. We want to know what happened and the more we know, the better." Under the IOC charter, Olympic decisions can be challenged within three years of the games' closing ceremony. The Sydney Olympics ended more than four years ago, on Oct. I, 2000. But Thomas Bach, the German ·lawyer and lOC member who heads the three-member investigative panel, said the three-year rule shouldn't apply in this case. "I don't think it plays a role,'' he told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. Pound said there was no actual decision taken in Sydney and .the allegations are only commg out now. Jones, who did not win any medals at the Athens Olympics, has been under investigation for months by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, but has not been charged. USADA has said it will take Conte's allegations into account. Conte, head of the BALCO lab, said he worked with Jones from August 2000 to September 200 I . He said he designed a doping regimen for her that included the previously undetectable steroid THO, the endurance-enhancing hormone EPO, human growth hormone and insulin. Bach said his first move will be to request a transcript of the ABC program. "First of all we have to check carefully whether the allegations concern the time of the Olympics, and then we have to determine who is concerned,'' he said. Bach said the investigation could cover athletes other than Jones mentioned in the program. The panel will ask for athletes' statements and could ask them to appear at a hearing, although "we are not in a position to force anybody to appear,'' he said. Bach said he doesn 't expe,ct to finish the probe before the next IOC board meeting, which takes place Feb. I0- 11 in Turin, Italy. Under Rogge, who succeeded Juan Antonio Samaranch in 200 I, the IOC has taken a much tougher stance on doping. The IOC sanctioned a record 24 athletes for doping offenses during the Athens Olympics in August. The IOC has also been investigating the 1999 doping case involving American sprintef Jerome Young. He tested positive for a steroid in 1999 but was cleared by a U.S. appeals panel and won a gold medal in Sydney as part of the I ,600 relay team. The IOC could strip the entire team - including five-time Olympic champion Michael Johnson - of the gold medals. The IOC is waiting for the Court of Arbitration for Sport to rule on an appeal by the U.S. Olympic Committee. PHOENIX Baseball players gave their . lawyers the go-ahead Tuesday to reach · an agreement with owners on tougher testing for steroids. After negotiations with management were outlined to the executive board of the players' association, union head Donald Fehr said the board "authorized us to attempt to conclude an agreement consistent with those discussions." Commissioner Bud Selig repeatedly has called for more frequent testing and harsher penalties for steroid use, stepping up the intensity following reports of grand jury tesl!mony in a steroid mvestigation that includes Barry Bonds, Jason Giambi and Gary Sheffield. Gene Orza, the union' s chief operating officer, said Monday that discussion s toward a new ~greement had advanced but the side~ were still apart.

The Reds declined to offer Larkin arbitration after a 19-year career with his hometown team. Outfielder Darren Bragg and pitchers Todd Van Poppel and Gabe White, the other three arbitration-eligible Reds, also were told they would not be offered arbitration.

Two Otsego players were ejected from the game Friday, and at least two fans were escorted from the building. · Witnesses said punches were thrown. "There were a lot of people involved, but I wouldn't say it was very violent,'' said Wood County Sheriff's Deputy Ryan Emahiser. who was at the game. Emahiser is investigating the altercation. He said he still wants to review videotapes of the fight and talk with a few more people. He will then give his findings to the county prosecutor. "We were just trying to break it up," said Woodmore student Jordan Shaw, who was in the stands. "Everybody was trying to throw people off, including parents."

There's a long way to go thi s season, but Cleveland is looking more and more like a legitimate power - and James is the biggest reason why. After his two free throws put the Cavaliers up 97-93 with I:35 to play. James stole Richard Jefferson's crosscourt pass and streaked in for a thunderous slam dunk. As the Gund Arena crowd erupted. the Nets called timeout and James walked to Cleveland's bench screaming, "This is my house."

The former is a novel in which a bridge· club member is murdered. Early on, the reader learns the Identity of the killer, then follows the efforts of the police to solve the crime. In ttie latter. Klein'ma'll discusses every· thing related to no-trump: how many points one should have to open· one no· trump, various response structures, and both how to overcall and llow to deal with overcallS Here is the only fu ll deal in e1tller book. Look at the West hand . Righty opens one no-trump, lefty transfers with two hearts, righty rebids two spades, Ietty passes, and now partner comes out of the bushes with a double. What would you do? Against a transfer, an Immediate double would show length and strength in the named suit (here, heans), and a cue-bid (here, two spades) would be for takeout. Partner's delayed double is lor penalties. Therefore, you should pass. What would you lead?. Probably it is correct to start with a trump: partner should have four good spades. Here, though , the defense will always get four spades and three side aces: two down, plus-500, and a top. Th is is not a good deal for translers. Kleinman argues that North si'IOuld have passed out one no-trump (which ma~es if West leads a club) . Even bet1er is an old· fashioned two-spade signoff, which would escape undoubted.
