' "He was a great member of the Red Sox team for seven years. and a certain Hall of Farner," Red Sox president Larry Lucchino told The Associated Press in an e-mai I. ''He will be missed. and we are disappointed to have lost him to the Mets and the National League." Martinez's agent, Fernando Cuza, told the Mets he will attempt to work out a deal with them after New York guaranteed a fourth year. a person involved in the talks said on condition of anonymity. Mets general manager Omar Minaya expressed confidence about the negotiations with Martinez, but wouldn't detail the discussions.. "The good news is that we're still in dialogue," Minaya said. "Every day that goes by and we are having dialogue is a good day." Minaya then left baseball's winter meetings and returned to New York, and the sides will work by telephone to finalize the contract language. Cuza did not want to comment on the talks. Martinez helped pitch Boston to its first World Series title since 1918, but Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein said he refused to increase the team's offer in the past two days. "We wish Pedro nothing but the best going forward both on the field and off the tield,'' Boston owner John Henry said in an e-mail. "He pitched with every ounce of hi s bei'!g for the Red Sox over the course of 216 games.

Associated Press CINCINNATI - Carson Palmer's knee injury isn' t serious, but it could keep him on the sideline. Tests found no tear in Palmer 's anterior cruciate ligament on Monday. The Cincinnati Bengals quarterback was still on crutches, and he wore a brace on the left knee that he sprained during a 35-28 loss at New England. Coach Marvin Lewis didn't rule out the possibility of Palmer playing Sunday against Buffalo. delaying a deci,ion until midweek. Palmer was listed as questionable. "Let's wait and see what happens," Lewis said. Palmer 's injury could clear the way for the NFL' s Comeback Player of the Year to regain the job temporarily. Jon Kitna hadn't taken a snap until Palmer got hurt on Sunday. Kitna hope s it doe~n 't come to that. , " It would be really tough for me ," Kitna said Monday. '' I really want to see Carson finish the year. I know how important that is as a quarterback to go out and finish what you started." Palmer has come into his own lately, leading an offense that has piled up 450 yards for three consec· utive games. a franchise first. He threw a careerhi gh four touchdown passes in a 58 -4 8 victory over Cleveland. then led a fourth-quarter comeback for a 27-26 win tn Forty voters want 1 \\'~are nuw and all lines of in~.;urance in 1% Ea .. t ")r~>ond Slrt'l'l J'' ( I \ I'-... .. \ ol 1 1 \.h x,, \\ 1·.1):\I.SI) ' ' .

It's not a toy--it's real money. In fact. they are genuine $2 Bills. And right now, people are jamming National Hotline phones because they can still get them for face value. Some collectors are trying to snatc h up all they can before it's too late. The crisp, uncirculated $2 bills are being banded in packs of live and immediately delivered directly to their homes. If parents and grandparents living in 1928 had ke.pt a pack of five uncirculated $2 bills they could be worth $2,250.00 today. That's why people want these new bills so badly. "Our private va ult reser,;es of new $2 bills will soon be gone. Those who want them should call now," said John Thomas White, Executive Director of the U. S. Monetary Exchange . . Originally issued in 1928. the Two Dollar Bill has largely been locked away in dark U.S. Federal Reserve vaults, rarely distributed by banks alld almost never seen in circulation. That's why it is extremely rare to actually fmd one of these historic Two Dollar Bills in your pocket change these days. "When our stockpile is gone collectors will have to sort through money or go to the bank to get them , and one Federal Re se~e Branch . already ran out," he said.

Thought for Today: "History is the record of an encounter between character and circumstances ... - Donald Creighton, Canadian historian ( 1902-1979 ). Tyranny I had the recent displeasure of appearing before the local chapter of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, many if not most of whose members appeared to me to be committed atheists. The forum was suppo>ed to consider "A candidate's religion. When does it matter?" But the discu"ion quickly disintegrated into an ugly attack on religion by the godless majority in the room . By the time the evening was over, I knew how the Christians felt when they were fed to the lions . Now. I'm no holy roller. I do not expect everyone , to share my religious faith. I re spect the right of others not to believe in a supreme being. But what offends me is the contempt that the atheist minority has for the overwhelming majonty of us who do believe in God. What angers me is that the atheist minonty is waging an unholy war against God. against religion. in communities throughout our once fair land. Indeed , California, the modern day Bab} Jon . is ground zero in the war on religion. In San Diego, for mstance. atheists are trying to remove a cross that has stood atop publicly owned Mount Soledad for a halfcentury. a memonal to those who fought in this nation's service in the two World Wars and the Korean War. The next thing we know. Wednesday, December 15, Wednesday, December 15, Joseph Perkins the ungodly element will demand that crosse s and other religious symbols be removed from the graves of the war dead buried at military cemeteFies in San Diego administered by the federal government. Meanwhile, up the road in Los Angeles, the county's Board of Supervisors voted recently to remove a tiny cross from the county seal. The supervisors just didn't think it appropriate for the government to officially endorse religion . Of course. if they follow their all-toopolitically-correct thinking to its illogical conclusion. then they need to change the name of the county. For the reference to "Angeles" obviously has religious overtones. Tl1en there's the Sacramento atheist who sued the Elk Grove Untfied School District nn grounds that it was imposing religion upon hts daughter (to which he had no custody rights ) by havmg students recite the Pledg~ of Allegiance. including the phrase.

That's where you'll see what the editors and writers really think about the Christmas story, about Christianity in general. Page 4: "A n Outlandish Message." Page 6: "Dubious on Almost Every Score." Page 7: "A Religion of Perpl exing Contradictions." It's the same thing in Hollywood . The studios no lon ger make movies like "Kin g of Kin gs." the "Greateq Story Ever Told " or "Jesus ' . Nazareth." In ste ad. they make film s like "Dogma. " in which Jesus is sacrilegiously portrayed as some sort of cartoonish figure - "Buddy Christ" - winking and giving a Bill Clinton-like thumbs- up.

All I ask 1' that nonbelievers stop trying, to impose their will upon the majonty of us who believe. as the Apostle John wrote two nullennia ago. that "God so loved the world. that he gave his only begotten Son. that whosoever beheveth in him should not peri,h. hut have everlasting life."

Basing the claim before the Ohio Supreme Court on what exit polls indicated is tenuous because the exit-polling pre : dictions turned out to be wrong, political analysts sa id.

Herb A sher. an Ohio State University politic al scientist , said election results don't necessarily reflect ex it polls. ''We all kno w that exit polls can be wrong.

Exit poll data was delivered to the National Electi on Pool - ABC. CBS, NBC. CNN, Fox News Channel and The Associated Press - by Edison Media Research and Mitofsky lntemati onal, which the pool hired to do the exit polling. ''Exit polling should not be confused in any way w1'h! the actual vote coun ts," Edie Emery. a spokeswoman for the National Election Pool. said Tuesday. Cliff Arnebeck. a Columbus lawyer for the voters who filed with the Ohio Supreme Court, said it is valid to cite exit polls as a basis for the complaint. "Ex it polling is conducted under the s ponsors hip of responsible news organizations whose only commitment is to the truth under the highest standard s of journalism," Arnebcck said.Tue sday.

Some politicians play bridge , even when tile venue isn't on a nver. One of the best is Evan Harris , a Liberal-Democrat Member of Parliamenr in Britain.

West cashe s the d1amond ace, then sh1fts to the heart 10. How would you continue? East's three·d1amond double-jump overcall would normally promise a seven-card suit, but tournament players often bid one level nigher when the vulnerability is favorable. North's leap to six spades was brave. He e11pected South's hOnors to be outs1de d1amonds. so that the hands would mesh well, but one feels that five spa des would have been sufficien t. Clearly, the club fi nesse must work. and West mustn't have all three trumps . But what if East has all three of them ? Maybe he can be encouraged to err. After winn 1ng trick two on the board with the heart ace, Evan Harris called for the spade jack. East should have played low without a tremor, but that 1s much easier said than done. Af1er being caught nap· p1ng. he covered with the queen . De clarer won Wi th his ace. played a club to dummy's queen, finessed through East's spade 10, and claimed .

Defense must improve against Buffalo Mexican track adjusted for NASCA A CINCINNATI tAP) With his ~tarting quarterback still in question, Cincinnati Bengals coach Marvin Lewis also is looking for the right spot to reintroduce his firstround draft pick. Running back 'ChriS Perry was activated last week for the first time since midOctober, but Lewis said there wasn't a good time to insert him in the flow of the game. A comeback came short as the Bengals lost to New England 35-28. "We are anxious to get him in there and unwrap him a little bit," Lewis said. Perry. the 26th overall pick out of Michigan. has appeared in only two games because of hamstring and abdominal injuries. So far he's carried the ball twice for I yard and has three catches for 33 yards. Another chance might come in Sunday 's game against Buffalo. a match up of two of the hottest NFL offenses. The Bengals have produced more than 450 yards of offense in each of the last three games for the tirst time in franchise historv and averaged 38 points- in those games. Buffalo is averaging 38 points in its last four games.

A new curve on the main straightaway and a new curve on the second straightaway will cut the track length from 2. 786 miles to 2.518 miles for the March 6 race . The Hermanos Rodriguez course has been used by Formula One, Champ, Trans Am and prototype cars, and requires sharp braking after ' long, fast straightaways. The stock cars used by NASCAR "are not prepared for such hard braking," said Ramon Osorio, spokesman for the promoters. The work is to be tinished before NASCAR tire testing starts Jan. 15 and would not affect the layout used for the other series, Osorio said. SIOns. Rookie quarterback Carson Palmer sprained his left knee in the third quarter, and Lewis had not decided Tuesday if he or Jon Kitna would start Sunday. Lewis said it remains to be seen whether Perry will play against Buffalo and how much. '·He has got to have a good week of practice," said Lewis. "He has to have confidence in himself physically, and then gain confidence in everything we are doing in order to have an opportunity." The Bengals had hoped to use Perry as a third-down replacement for starting running back Rudi Johnson.

The NHL also revamped the players· association rollback offer, propos,ing a graduated scale. Players making less than $800,000 would not have their salary• decrealed. Those making $5 million or more would have 35 percent taken away from their existing contracts. · Bettman said the offer made by the union last Thursday. which featured a 24-percent salary rollback, was a "bigtime, signiticant and meaningful move" but was a short-term fix that wouldn · t cure the league's financial troubles in the long run. The union's offer also contained a luxury tax, a revenue sharing plan, a lower cap on entry-level contracts and bonuses, and a way for teams to take players to arbitration. But because it doesn't guar;mtec what each team will pay its players, it didn't meet the soluti on the owners are seekmg. The Canadian sports television network TSN reported Monday that NHL executive vice president Bill Daly «ent a memo to team owners that said the league would tum down the union's offer. Be.ttman has placed a gag order on team executives, and has already handed out sign illcant fines to those who speak out. Steve Belkin. one of the · Atlanta Thrashers· owners. was ordered to pay $250.000 for saying the league would use replacement players next year if a new collective bargaining agreement isn't reached. "If I find out, there won't be much reason for you to be talking to them because their career in the NHL will end abruptlv," Bettman said. "I think It's about the most irresponsible thinu that could be done. I wuuid really like to know who did it." The NHL hadn't given the player>· association an offer since July 21, when it presented six possible concepts to provide a framework for the league's first new collective bargaining agreement in a decade. All six were formally rejected by the players on Aug. 17, and negotiations that followed over the next month failed to move the sides any closer to resolving the philosophical difference of a salary cap. Talks broke off Sept. 9 when owners turned down an offer. and the lockout was imposed a week later by Bettman. Players and owner; stayed apart from early September until last Thursday. Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin offered federal inte~ention on Tuesday, but both sides have said they don't need an outside mediator to get involved.
