Ohio • Point PIIU lnt, WV appro_ves Sl o.s for Ford DETROIT (AP) A judge granted final approval Thursday to a $10.5 million settlement in two discrimination lawsuits filed against Ford Motor Co. by hundreds of current and former emplt)'ees . In a separate settlement in Virginia, the company agreed to pay at least Sl45,000 to three women who said they were sexually harassed at work. Thursday's approval of the multimillion- dollar settle- ( ment reached in December ends the class-actton lawsutts charging that a management evaluation system put in place by former president and CEO Jacques Nasser discriminated against older white employ- ee~.lt's a relief it:s over," plaintiff John Streeter said. "For a lot of people still working at Ford, it will help heal some of their wounds." One of the lawsuits had alleged age, race and gender bias, while the other alleged only age discrimination. . According to the consent decree, the automaker denied wrongdoing, and charges of race and gender bias were dropped. Before gtvmg his final approval, Wayne County Circuit Court Judge Edward Thomas heard objections from four plaintiffs in the class-action suits. The objections did not affect the settlement. Each plaintiff named in the lawsuits will receive up to SIOO,OOO, minus attorney fees, depending on lengtil of employment and other considerations. · The judge's approval means the settlement is now in effect and plaintiffS can begin to receive money. Claims also have been filed by 436 current or former' employees, said plaintiffs attorney James Fett. Thirteen people have opted out of the settlement so they can pursue their own litigation, he said. A Ford spokes,woman said Wednesday the automaker expected the approval. Bill Ford Jr., chairman and CEO, had promised to make settlement of the lawsuits a priority after Nasser resigned Oct. 30.

U.S. immigration law requires those who apply for a visitor's visa to prove that they will return to their home country.

He is not even the first journalist who has died as a result of the international war on terror. But Daniel Pearl's death is somehow different. In war, deaths are expected. They are not welcomed, but they are a part of war's painful reality; Pearl, however, was not in that war. He was a Wall Street Journal reporter in a relatively "safe" area of Pakist~n with his pregnant wife when he went off to meet a source and never came home. It was suspected that Pakistani Islamic extremists kidnapped and eventually killed Pearl, and this was confirmed Friday when the State Department announced a videotape showed Pearl's murder. The attention Pearl's death has received is much to the terrorists' dismay quite contrary to their intended aim. .. . · With this latest development, the resolve to fight terrorism has been strengthened. ~. ~>. ~·" \' t· .

Buckeyes hire Luke Flckell COLUMBUS (AP) Ohio State said Saturday that it has hlred Luke Fickell, a former player for the Buckeyes, as speci'al teams coordinator. He also will assist Jim Heacock with the defensive line. Fickell spent the past two seasons as defensive line coach at Akron. Before that, he was a graduate assistant at Ohio State for one year. He played for the Buckeyes from 1993-96 at nose tackle, and his 51 starts is a school record. He was signed as a free agent in 1997 by the New Orleans Saints, but his career was cut short by a knee injury. Fickell is a native of suburban Westerville and attended high school at Columbus DeSales, where he was an AllOhio football player and a three- time state wrestling champion.

Graves from PageBl stand Bob's feelings - yeah, you'd like to make him a s~rter. But he gives you so much (as a closer).You have to waver in that regard:' Graves will go along with whatever Boone decides. If the coaches ask his opinion, he'U tell them he wants to stay in ~he \;lullp~n,. ~'1-d add to his impressive string o( closing out games. · Graves saved a career-high 32 games in 39 chances last season, joining John Franco as the only Red with a pair of 30-save seasons. He's · third on the franchise's career list with 97. He has the right temperament for the highpressure role - win or lose, he's upbeat. The switch to starting in spring training has made him more nervous than any ninth-inning, bases-loaded threat. . Graves hates sitting around and waiting to s~rt. In the bullpen, he usuaUy takes about 10 warmups to get ready - there's no time to kill. "The worst part of starting is. that I get too nervous," he said. "Last week, I didn't find out I was starting until that morning. From 9 o'clock that morning until I o'clock, my stomach tightened up and I was nervous. I don't like that feeling. "I've never done anything different than closing' or relieving. I don't know any better. Just the waiting part turns my stomach. I might get addicted to Pepto-Bismol." In his seven professional seasons, Graves has made 420 relief appearances and only three •s~rts -for Cleveland's Triple-A team in Buffalo in 1997. The 1ni:li3ns briefly considered turning him into a starter, then decided to leave liim in his · more accustomed role. Graves hopes the Reds do the same, aUowing him to s~y in a bullpen that's been one of the NL's best and has no one else experienced at closing. "I've saved 30 games the last couple of years, and it's kind of hard just to quit that and go onto something else;• he said. "If! was bad or couldn't get the job done anymore, then it would be time to s~rt something else. , "I really believe I could win 12 to 15 games as a starter, but you don't want to just abandon the closer's role. You definitely don't want to do the closer-by-committee. We have a great bullpen. Why change it?" For now, there's no answer. WINTER HAVEN, Aa. (AP) - Rym Drese has twice become one of basebaU's forgotten men. He doesn 'r intend to let it happen again. The Cleveland Indians right-hander was considered one of the best pitching prospects in all of college baseball following his freshman year at the University of California in 1995. But before his sophomore season, Drese had surgery to remove bone chips and repair a sprained ligament in his right elbow. He fell all the way to the fifth roqnd of the 1998 draft, where he was ~en by the Indians. He then missed nearly the entire 2000 season after undergoing reconstructive surgery on his right knee. Drese is now healthy, and contending to be Cleveland's No. 5 smting pitcher when the club opens its regular season March 31 in Anaheim. The 25-year-old aided his cause Sunday during a spring-training game against Pittsburgh in Winter Haven, Aa. Marlin from PageBl Park thought Compton should have given him more room to pass. Compton thought Park lost traction. "I'd would like · to be standing in victory lane doing an interview with you, but we're not;' . Park said. "We got a lot of racing left." Park said he was definitely primed for Bristol Motor Speedway and next week's Food City 500. , NASCAR spokesman Jim Hunter said the governing body had no problems with Park's driving or conduct Sunday. "We're glad he's back," Hunter said. Marlin, meanwhile, again looked like he could do anything he wanted. Marlin had gone from 1997 -2000 without a win, but has four of his 10 career victories since Chip Ganassi became the primary car owner before last season. "The team I'm with right ' · now is a lot more dominant ............
