WASHINGTON (AP) New claims for unemployment benefits dropped last week, but even with the decline the level oflayoffs was still high . and suggested that . the job market was sluggish, reflecting companies' con· cerns about the uneven eco· nomic recovery. , The Labor Department ·reported Thursday that new claims for jobless benefits fell by a seasonally adjusted 11,000 to 433,000 for the work week ending Dec. 14. Yet, even with the drop, claims remained above the 400,000 mark, a level associated with a lackluster job market. The decline , .which was smaller than analysts were predicting, came after new claims shot up by 86,000 in the previou~ week, lhe biggest one-week gain since the work week ending July 25, 1992. But private economi sts and Labor Department analysts cautioned not to read too much into the jump, saying it was exaggerated by difficulties adjusting for seasonal factors. The more stable four-week moving average of claims. which smoothes out weekly fluctuations, rose last week to 400,750. the . hi ghest level since the begi nning of November. And, the number of unem· ployed people continuing to draw jobless benefits also went up by 229,000 to 3.5 mil· lion for the work week ending Dec. 7, the most recent period '. ' . for which the data is available. The economic recovery has been advancing this year. but in fits and starts, an environ· ment that has made businesses wary about making big commitments in hiring and in capital investment. Fears about a war with Iraq, the turbulent stock market arid other economic uncertainties have weighed heavily on compa· nies and made workers who still have jobs anxious about keepi ng them. President Bush recentl y said he wams Ihe new Congress to extend . unemployment insur" ance benefits for jobless work· ers soon after it convenes next month. Extended federal aid for the jobl ess runs out Dec. 28. , Cong~ess last March approved a 13-week extension in federal unemployment aid. That extension is to run out for peo· pie who have exhausted the 26 weeks of paymems they typi· cally receive through slates. Efforts to continue the benefits fe.JI v ictim to parti san wrangling between Senate Democra(s and House Republicans in late November 's final days of the last congressional session. Democrati c leaders had urged Bush to ask House Republicans to pass the more generous Senate extension plan. The White House remained on the sideli nes throughout.

DEAR ABBY: While I agree with your advice to "Totally in Love," I feel there is a bit more to say. From personal experience, I have found that if young people (such as his 13-yearold girlfriend) have an "excl usive" relationship, what happens is that she is excluded from the normal passages of youth. I cannot see how what people feel at 13 could possibly be what they want at 1&, 21, etc . _And if the relationship does "go too far," then what? Two children with a child? That young girl may well hope "Tota ll y in Love" sees regret and resent the excluyour l_e tter. Its message is siveness of the relationship · soberi ng. Read on : ".

Many homeowners are the grateful recipients or purchasers of a holiday plant or two. Whether it is a poinsettia, · cyclamen, Christmas cactus, African violet, paper white narcissus or amaryllis, proper care will greatly increase your satisfaction and the life of the plant. Most plants come with a plant tag explaining their basic needs -- light, water, temperature and fertilizer requirements. It is important to read and follow the basic instructions that come with the plant. In the winter months, our sunlight is not only limited, only 12 to 13 hours per day, but also of low light intensity monitored in measurement of foot-candles or lumens. Place indoor holiday plants in the brightest window exposure possi ble, preferably south, southeast or southwest. Plants may be moved back temporarily to the center of a dark dining room table when guests are t:xpected. A few hours of supplemental light usi ng plant light bulbs (i.e. growlux) may assist blooming plants, especially African · violets. %ter and its source may be extremely important to the drier side than too wet. Rememberthat our holiday plants are tender perennial s so they require warm temperatures. The blooms of amaryllis, paper white narcissus and cyclamen plants · will last longer at 55 to 60 degree temperatures than when maintained at higher room temperatures. The poinsettias and African vio-\ lets need warmer temperatures of at least 65 to 70 degrees. Watch out for cold air drafts. Fertilizing your indoor plants should be kept to a minimal amount. In fact while Christmas cactus, nar: cissus and amaryllis are in bloom do not fertilize them. Wait to ferti lize until after the bloom has been c ut off. Poinsettias, cyclame n and African violets require minimal fertilizer (mainly nitrate form of nitrogen) during winter months. Our office has several fact sheets on maintaining- your holiday plants.

Meigs County comes together to ·help neighbors at holiday Nation • The Daily Sentinel . · Thursday,, December l!J, :Z002 Judge says Barry Bonds' historic homerun baseball must be sold The Daily Sentinel Bette Pearce PageA7 Patrick Hayashi, who ended up with the ball, had legitimate claims. "Their legal claims are of equal quality and they are equally ~ntitled to the ball," McCarthy ruled. "The ball must be sold and d\vided equally between the parties." Much of the case turned on a matter of fractions of sec, onds caught on television videotape. TV news video showed the ball in Popov's glove for at least six-tenths of. a second before he was enveloped by a crowd. Both sides agreed the videotape showed the ball in Popov's glove. They couldn't agree on what defines posses- sion - Popov's split-second catch, or Hayashi's final grab. Last month, McCarthy repeatedly as!l:ed the lawyers for a definition of possession. Popov contended he held the ball longer than a split second before it ·was taken from his glove. Hayashi said Popov dropped it before hitting the pavement. During closing arguments McCarthy described a "gray · area" between securely catching the ball and. never touching it. Hayashi's Ia wyers insisted the case was a: simple question of property law. McCarthy deliberated for a month after ·hearing closing arguments in late November. . KONDRACKE'S VIEW ; Bush may botch chance at medical research legacy · Bv ter, Robin, from le'ukemia.
