INDIANAPOLIS - The Pacers and the Pi ston s expect an electric atmosphere on Saturday in their first game since Indiana players fought with Detroit fans on Nov. 19. With Jermaine O'Neal back in the lineup for the Pacers , the hometown fans will have even more reason to cheer. . A federal judge upheld an arbitrator's decision to reduce the Pacers star's suspension on Thursday for hi s part in one of the worst cases of player-fan violence in U.S. sports hi story. "That's our All-Star," Fred Jones said. "He's our best player on the team . That's going to excite us all and get us going even more." Particularly the fans, who have been waiting for more than a month to voice their frustration after watching Pistons fans fight with the Pacers and pelt them with drinks, popcorn, a chair and other debris, leading to the suspensions of 0' Neal, Ron Artest. Stephen Jackson and Anthony Johnson. O'Neal 's original 25game penally was reduced to 15 games by an arhitrator Wednesday. while commissioner David Stern' s decisions to suspend Artest for the rest of the season and Jackson for 30 games were upheld . Johnson has already served hi> five-game suspension. · Signs reading "Free Artest'' have popped up at subsequent home games. as have "Suspend Stern" Tshirts. On Christmas Day, the.

"Our fans are pretty creative when it comes to jeering other teams," said Johnson, who was an object of those heckles as a member of the Nets. "They come up with some very creative sayings. I look forward to hearing some of the things they have to say (Saturday). " But most expect them to protect players as they leaw do little else. "Our fans know how to the flour. behave."

Judge George B. Daniels ruled from the bench thursday after listening to arguments by lawyers for the NBA and the players' union :lnd watching a brief videotppe of 0' Neal punching a fan quring the brawl. , The union asked Daniels to temporarily uphold an arbitraror's decision Wednesday to knock I0 games off a 25 game suspension imposed on O'Neal by NBA commissioner David Stern. Ron Anest's season-long suspension and the suspensions or two other Indiana players were upheld. Daniels said he ruled in O'Neal's favor before deciding the merits of the case because to make the player serve a punishment that may not be upheld could have "irreversible consequences for the player, the team, the player 's future and the league itself." . "We're delighted," union attorney Jeffrey Kessler said. He called the ruling "a great Christmas present for Jermaine O'Neal and all Pacers fans. It's the fair and right thing to do." 0 ' Neal. a three-time AllStar and eight-year veteran, is now eligible • to return Saturday when the Pacers host the Pistons in the teams' first matchup since one of the most violent melees in NBA history. Even before the suspension reduction was upheld. Indiana coach Rick Carlisle said 0' Neal· would start against Detroit. "I think it will be great for Jermaine to be back on the floor," Carlisle said. "That will be important to him and certainly to our fans. When you're without your best player for a long time, it's tough." Jeffrey Mishkin. a lawyer for the league, suggested that upholding the arbitrator's rul- ing would threaten the Stern's authority to control conduct during a game and, ultimately, the league 's image. "The purpose is to give the commissioner authority over the game," Mishkin said during arguments Thursday. He said the commissioner needed to protect his powers and show "that we have our house in order." He also suggested that letting O'Neal play might make it more diffi- cult to provide security at Saturday's game. Mishkin declined to comment after the ruling. The league did not partiCJ pate in the arbitration. contending the collective bargaining agreement between the league and the union leaves punishment for on-thecourt behavior solely m Stern's hands. Thursday's arguments focused on whether the fight with fans was considered onthe-court activity solely under Stern's disciplinary control ·or something else that would permit an arbitrator to review the penalty. . The judge left that issue and others to be ·decided when he hears arguments next Vick becomes NFL:s richest player . FLOWERY BRANCH.

Weari ng :1 padded glove on his still very swollen right hand, which he injured on Nov. 20. Guidugli completed 24 of 36 passes on a bitterly cold night. After his only interception. which Marslutll returned for a score, Guidugli completed I0 straight passes and I4 of 16 in the second quarter. He threw both TD passes in that stretch to put Cincinnati (7-5) ahead to stay. The Bearcats overcame a 24 stan to finis h with a winning record for first -year coach Mark Dantonio, the former Ohio State defensive coonlinator. The bowl was their last game as a Conference USA member before moving to the Big East next season. Marsha-ll (6-6), moving next year to C-USA from the MidAmerican Conference. had its streak of 20 straight winning seasons ended. The Thundering Herd, which had won five straight bowl games, had a seasonlow I34 yards. Stan Hill compie ted I4 of 30 passes for I 37 yards and a TD to go with minu s-3 yards rushing fur his team. Kevin Lovell kicked three tleld goals (23. 19 and 35 )•·,Jrds) and Hannibal Thomas had nine catches for I02 yards fur Cincinnati. Guidugli missed the reguJar-season finale after he broke two bones in his hand in a fall outside his home. Without him. the Bearcats lost 70-7 to No. 7 Louisville with two quarterbacks combining for fust 33 yards. Before that, Guidugli had thrown for I .022 yards with · I2 touchdowns and no interceptions during a four-game winning streak. Adjusting to the glove on his hand, Guidugli struggled early Thursday. He was ]-for4 with his first interception in I45 passes, returned 32 yards by Willie Smith to give Marshall a I4- I0 lead at the end of first quarter. Guid ugli completed his next 10 passes. all six on the drive that ended with a 15- yard TD to tight end Brent Celek for a 17-141ead. The Bearcats had the ball once more before halftime, an 87-yard drive during which Guidugli had a pair of 20-yard completions before an 8-yard TD to Earnest Jackson with 18 seconds left. Guidugli's school-record 26th TD pass was a lame duck, thrown with a rusher in h'ts r·ace, but Jac kson caught ·1t between two defenders. Greg Cook had 25 TD passes for the Bearcats in 1968. The only scoring after that came in th.e fourth quarter. Lovell kicked his last two fie ld goals and Cincinnati blocked its second punt, with Marshall punter Jan O'Connor falli ng on it in the end zone for a safety. The Bearcats led 7-0 before Guidugli even stepped on the field . Tyjuan Hagler blocked the first punt just a minute into the game. Antwuan Giddens returned it 9 yards fo r the touchdown.

The Big Ten hopes its proposal will be heard by the NCAA Football Rules Committee at its February meeting. If instant rep lay can't be approved for widespread usc in time fo r next seawn. the Big Ten is also asking the NCAA for a one-year extension for its svstem. and to allow other conferetices to experi ment with it in 2005. " It 's our understand ing that the request for more permanent change may require a more lengthy process of review in the NCAA governance system, .. Big Ten commi ssioner Jim Delany said Thursday. ··we wanted to make sure we didn't lose the opportunity to continue the experi men t in the event the NCAA process is elongated." There seems to be widespread interest in instant replay, Delany said. He's had "reasonably lengthy" conversations with seven or eight other conference commissioners. and he thinks most would explore it furth er if the NCAA gives the OK. Delany has n't gotten any indication of what way the rules committee will vote, but he 's optimistic. "I think with this information. this data. the cost basis, the support by coaches and administrators, that provides some real momentum," Delany said. "I don't want to speak for how they might look at this, but it seems to me the proof and the informatio n developed from thi s experiment is go ing to be hard to first down, and settled for Lovell 's 23-yard field goal and a 10-0 lead.

Kent Barrett, spokesman for the NCAA, said the organi zation wouldn't have a reaction until the matter works its way through the legislative process. The NCAA gave the Big Ten permiss ion to experiment with instant replay tor all of its televi sed games at conference stad iums last season. Under the Big Ten's system, a technical adviser watched the game from the press box and notified officials on the field via pager if he saw something 4uestionable. Play wa' halted while the adviser reviewed the call using video from the televi- sion feed . Call s could be overturned only if there was "i ndi sputable video evidence,'' and only calls like scoring plays. pass play s and number of players on the field could be reviewed. Hard fouls such as blocks in the back and face masks. and some other judgment calls like fa lse start s were not eligible fo r review. The Big Ten said replay was used in 28 of the 57 games last season. Of the 43 call s questioned, 2 1 were overturned. Games where instant replay was used were three minutes longer on average, with rev iews taking an average of 2 minutes and 39 seconds. Big Ten officials did tweak the system twi ce.

Ask the Carey Brothers Cantilever: Bv JAMES AND MORRIS CAREY A projecting beam or member support at only one end. Often used to describe angled projections. Q: We recently had our countertops re-tiled. and we got two separate opinions on how to treat the grout. One was to use "Old English Lemon Oil." the other to use a silicone sealer. l chose the oil because It was less expensive. bui now I'm wondering if l did the right thing . My main concern is to avoid as much future cleaning as possible . Also. is it possible to change 1he color of the grout at some future date''-- Rosalie A: Since both of the products you memioned are relatively inexpen;ive, 1he cost to seal the grout should nol be the issue here. You could be penny-wise and pound-foolish by not using a sealer that will offer the greatest longevity. In our opinion. your interests would bcsl be served by using a silicone product to seal the grout. Not only will it last longer. but it is highly impervious to water. more so than lemon oil. Furthermore. we believe that if you go with the lemon oil rmhcr than the silicone. you may lind yourself spending <I great deal of your spare time sealing and re-sealing your grout. And. where silicone generally dries to a clear tinish. lemon oil lends lo yellow the grout. As far as clmnging the color is concerned. there arc a couple of di!Terent way s ihat this can be accomplished. The first method is by dyeing the grout. Obviously, any sealer that may have been previously applied to the groul will need to be removed so that the dye may be absorbed into the grout . On the other hand, if the existing· grout is <.lark . and you wish to change to something considerably lighter. you may be forced to remove the surface of the exi sting grout and replace it with new grout. A trip to your loc al hardware store or home improvement center will get you what you need to perform this relatively simple task .

Keep home appliances healthy Get your appliances in check and ready for the holidays Don't wait until a major holiday to determine whether your appliances are functioning properly. Often, an "appliance problem· may have nothing to do with the appliance. Before calling in an appliance repair person, use the following tips. Check your outlets First, unplug the appliance and plug a lamp into the outlet If the lamp works, the appliance is the problem; if the lamp doesn't light, check the circuit breaker. Bv JAMES AND MORRIS CAREY FOR AP WEEKLY FEATURES II • Faulty breaker? If the breaker is tripped, reset it If it trips again, lhere's a short in the wiring or there is a serious problem in the outlet and you'll need an electrician. If all else rails If the problem is not the circuit breaker or lhe outlel, it may be a faulty appliance. Contact an appliance repair person. From there it's time for a repair or perhaps a new appliance. • Siobhan Dooley· AP .. .... Sunday, December 26, 2004 EXTENSION CORNER Pets and livestock feel the cold too 6unba!' Qttme& -&tntinel omebuilders are sometimes confounded by .what to do with a small lot. But the answer isn't always settling for Jess. In the case of APWB- I90, the solution may well be getting more for less . . This single-story home packs a lot mto a small space. A central core is comprised of avery large great room that opens to the spacious kitchen and a dining area that features a bay window with good views. A cantilevered island pleasant· Jy splits these two rooms. In a pinch, the kitchen area could be extended flush with the rear of the house. Note the conveniently positioned laundry and mechanical areas just off the kitchen. · Just off the kitchen is a covered porch that could be screened in or finished out for three- or four-season livability. The master bedroom is split from the remaining two bedrooms, and has a surprising amount of living and walk-in closet space. The master bath has two sinks and is spacious enough for ease of movement. The other two bedrooms are at the opposite end of the home. For added privacy. the entries to these rooms are semi-hidden in a small hall way. The rooms share a bath. If your needs don't call for a large house but you do need a highly workable plan that .will keep building costs low and make the most of a small lot, this may be your answer. Page B7 The holiday season i ~ a time for famil y ga!hering .... entertaining . baking tradilions and festive holiday meals . It\ also a time when kitchen appliatices get a real workout. Busy work schedules in two-income-earning houscholus means major home appliances such as the cook top. oven or range arc "put on the bac.:k burner." so to speak. They simply don't get the workout that they unce did when more American families tired them up nn a daily basi' to prepare family meals. Today. for many familie s. mealtime involves revving-up the microwave or waiting in line at the local fasl food jninl. In an y case. unless you usc and maintain your major appliances on a regular basis. your holiday baked goods or festive spreau may turn out to be di sastrous thanks to an appliance on the blink.

Commissioners anticipate a >light improvement in the county's financial condition in 2005, due to a real estate tax reappraisal, lower worker's compensation premiums and other cost savings. Commissioner Mick Davenport said Thursday the county's financial condition U) co ._.., s~ •s: ,==llf.. ' { 0 .... · :::. ·. , VI il a."' 2!Cn ~m:Z: ~ :am appears to be stabilizing after five years of dwindling revenue and higher operating costs. Commissioners are now working on appropriating funds in various county departments for a $3.6 million 2005 general fund budget.
