Jim Brown comes home to Browns CLEVELAND (AP) - On the day the Cleveland Browns got their first home victory, an old friend came home, too. Jim Brown was honored .along with Cleveland's other Hall of Fame players on Sunday during halftime ceremonies of the Browns' 23-20 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. It was Brown's first visit to Cleveland's new lakefront stadium since the Browns returned to the NFL following a three-year hiatus. "It's a wonderful place," Brown said while standing on the sideline before the game. "It looks like it would have been a great place to play." Considered by many to be the greatest running back in NFL history, Brown, the leading rusher in C leveland history, still holds a special place in the hearts of Browns fans. However, when Cleveland wel ;:omed its team back last year, No. 32 wasn't part of any the festivi ties surrounding the Browns' return . "I didn't want to come back until the time was right," Brown nisch said. "But I worked hard. We weren't just sitting around for seven weeks." Harnisch allowed four runs and five hits in seven innings with six strikeouts and no walks. "When Pete came back, the whole pitching staff was lifted up psychologically," McKeon said. "He's the heart and soul of the staff. Guys ,look up to him." Reliever Dennys Reyes threw the Reds' 91st wild pitch of the season in the ninth inning, rying the NL record set by Houston (1970) and Philadelphia (1989). The major league mark is 94 by Texas (1986). · John Snyder (3-1 0) allowed six runs in five innings. After winning three straight in June, Snyder has gone 15 starts without a win , dating to June 22, going 0-8 in that span.

Opponents call it a partial-birth abo rtion. U.S. District Court Judge Walter Rice ex tended his temporary remaining order until Friday. The order was scheduled to expire Tuesday. Rice said he needs more time to write his decision on a lawsuit seeking a preliminary injunction that would block the law until a trial is held or until an appeals court ruled that the law could be enforced. Dr. Martin H askell filed th e lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the law. which was signed in May by Gov. Bob Taft. The la\V has not yet gone into effect.

T hirry-plus years of federal investment to build highways, water and sewer systems in the region have prepared the region for the next step - attracting private investment to help locally owned and operated businesses grow, West Virginia Gov.

"That's what scares them away," Under- wood said. ~' A major element missing in our stru ggling commnnities is private investnlent."

(AP) - The drought of 2000 will cost N ebraska farmers and the state's economy more than ·s1 billion, Gov. Mike Johanns said. The direct loss to farmers and ranchers is estimated at $555 million - ah average of S10,000 for each farmer in the state. "We continue to keep our fingers crossed and hope for rain, but even rain won't provide relief for this year's dramatic losses," Johanns said. Some experts have said the state is experiencing one of its worst droughts since record keeping began 105 years ago. Johanns made the announcement Thursday based on figures from Roy Frederick, an agricultural economist with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The dollar estimate was based on recent crop reports, increased irrigation costs and the effect on the state of a depressed farm economy. The total crop loss was estimated at $320 million, which included $226 million in corn, $59 million in wheat, $20 million in soybeans and S15 million in sorghum. Increased irrigation costs totaled nearly $56 million. Nebraska is not alone. VALLEY WEATHER I am today announcing my candidacy for Meigs County Commissioner on the Independent Conservative ticket.

Joanne McGonagle, president of Pasta Fresca in New Lexington, founded her business in 1986, but said it took a $500,000 investment from a C hicago venture capital fir m last year to help her expand the company's promotions and busin ess.

She shared her company's story Monday at an Appalachian Regional Commission conference orga nized to encourage growth of small businesses in Appalachia. Parts of Ohio, Kentucky and W~st Virginia are home to some of the most Sfvcrdy impoverished counties in · the 13-state Appalachian region. T hirry-plus years of federal investment to build highways, water and sewer systems in the region have prepared the region for the next step - attracting private investment to help locally owned and operated businesses grow, West Virginia Gov. Cecil Underwood said. The challenge is to persuade big-city investors that Appalachia ha s come a long way from the era of backwoods culture and isolati on, Undenvood said. "That's what scares them away," Under- wood said. ~' A major element missing in our stru ggling commnnities is private investnlent." Chicago investor David Wilhelm, a form~r Democratic National Committee chairmanturned-businessman, helped es tablish the Athens-based, $15 milhon Appalachian Ohio Development Fund. This fall, it is to begin investi ng in small businesses in 29 Appa.lachian counties in Ohio. ,. . _ · Wilhelm, an Athens native, said he wants lo make money, but also wants to share wea1th in the region where he grew up.

(AP) - The drought of 2000 will cost N ebraska farmers and the state's economy more than ·s1 billion, Gov. Mike Johanns said. The direct loss to farmers and ranchers is estimated at $555 million - ah average of S10,000 for each farmer in the state. "We continue to keep our fingers crossed and hope for rain, but even rain won't provide relief for this year's dramatic losses," Johanns said. Some experts have said the state is experiencing one of its worst droughts since record keeping began 105 years ago. Johanns made the announcement Thursday based on figures from Roy Frederick, an agricultural economist with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The dollar estimate was based on recent crop reports, increased irrigation costs and the effect on the state of a depressed farm economy. The total crop loss was estimated at $320 million, which included $226 million in corn, $59 million in wheat, $20 million in soybeans and S15 million in sorghum. Increased irrigation costs totaled nearly $56 million. Nebraska is not alone. VALLEY WEATHER I am today announcing my candidacy for Meigs County Commissioner on the Independent Conservative ticket.

OUR VIEW om Marker will recall story of Underground Railroad A unique •egmem of Attwrican history will be celebrated In Gallipolis on Friday. It's a part of the area's heritage that has been ackno\vlcdgcd, but is little understood outside of a history book today. The tri-county played a part in the Underground Railroad, and a marker will be unveiled at the John Gee Historical Center to celebrate its role in helping slaves fleeing to fi-eedom. The "railroad," as it was, was not a train, but a series of safe houses and hiding places for those working their way out of the slaveholding states to points north. · These places of refuge were owned or mann ed by sympathetic individuals in the pre-Civil War period. Some of these folks were dedicated to the abolition of slavery. Others were early enthusiasts for the rights of others, or motivated by religious belie(< inspiring them to help their fellow man on to a better lite. Whatever the reason, it ate away at the fabric of a practice that would tear a nation in two. The John Gee Chapel, founded in I ~1 ~. was one of the links in the Underground Railroad . Even when the War Between the States erupted, it served as a shelter for soldiers when Gallipolis became an encampment for the Union Army. Other sites played an unsung role in the railroad's history. The_ story they were a part of is a fascinating illumination of the struggle for freedom within the land of the free. The Friends of Freedom Society, based in Columbus, and part of the National Underground Railroad Initiative, is pre<enting the marker to the John Gee Center this week . The marker is recognition of past sacrifices, danger and defiance in the face of what was then a volatile political and social situation. Prior to the Emancipation Proclamation, it was a criminal action in some areas to harbor an escapmg slave. We hope the marker will also serve as a lasting .memorial to people, black and white, who put their lives on the line for their bclit.fs. That spirit was alive and well a century later when white" join ed with blacks in the c1vil rights movement, all of them at risk to their own well-being. The story of the Undergmund Railroad tells us something about being Americans. We didn 't always have to fight ovtrscas to pn.·scrvc our love of freedom. We had built experience for that fight at hom e. by doil)g what was right. lt's a story we need to know more about, bt•cmse it reveal ' :1 '\id e of our national character rh ar otfcrs inspiration to o ur jaded times .

Religion had only begun to be injected into presidential politics in those days. This year the campaign is awash in protestations of faith. On balance that's good, but it deserves exploration. So if and when Texas Gov. George W. llush and Vice President Al Gore debate, I hope someone repeats Barnes' question . Ilarncs, now executive editor ofThe Weekly Standard and my TV partm.-r in punditry on the Fox News Channel, specifically asked President Ronald Reagan and former Vi ce Preside nt W.1lter Mondale to desc ribe their re ligious beliefs. - say, whether they considcrs·d themselves born-again Christians- and tell how those beliefs ntight affect their dccisw ns . In a famom follow-up, he asked R eaga n why. if he was a believer, he never went to church or held se rvices in the White House. R eaga n lamely replied that he feared exposing rht· congrt'gatlon to terrorism . This year the candidates won't have to be asked to describe their religious bdi ef.<. Gore, Bush aud GQP vice presidential nominee lJi ck Chenl'Y oil have declare d thentsekes born-again (neither Reaga n nor Mondalc claimed that identity in 1984, although Jimmy Cart,· r did in 197o). Gore h as sa id he solves policy question s by asking himself, " What would Jesus do'" And !lush ca used a stir this spring when he said that th e political philosopher who had m ost influenced hun is "Jesus ... b eca use he t.:han ged m y hearr.'' Core's running mate, Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-Conn.), has attra~ted mort' attention than any o ther candidate by referrrng often to his Orthodox Jewish faith and by calhng on Americans ro "renew th e dedicatio n of our natrun and ourselves to God and God's purpose."

Personally. I thin!< for all kinds of reaso ns that it's good for politicians to talk about ths•ir religions. But if they do, they also ought to be questioned abuut it to determim: whether , their protestations are since re or shallow and what dll:ct th eir beliefs might haw on policy.

My neighbor will start cleaning my . house two times a month . I'll be paying her $80 a month. Do I need to report this to Social Secunty? A. If you pay your household worker $1,100 or more in cash ...vagcs dunng a year. you are responsible for reporting the household worker's wages.' Since you'll be paying kss than S1, 100 ($960) for the year, you do not have to report your household worker's wages. For Q. read son)ewhere that women know less about Social Security than men. Is this true? A. A recent Gallup poll shows that 47 percent ot" women are knowledgeable about Social Security. while the figure for the population as a whole is 55 percent. The Social Security Administration is using the finding to urge women to learn about their Social Security coverage. Q. Is Social Security in financial trouble' A. There is no immediate crisis in the Social Security system but some changes are needed to ensure solvency over the next 75 years and beyond. According to the 1999 Report of the Board of Trustees. the Social Security trust funds are adequately financed to meet the short-range needs. However, in about 2037, the Social SecuritY trust funds are expected to be depleted, and the continumg income from the Social Security tax will cover only about threefourths of annual benefits. the tightness in our c hests when we h ad head colds.

OUR VIEW om Marker will recall story of Underground Railroad A unique •egmem of Attwrican history will be celebrated In Gallipolis on Friday. It's a part of the area's heritage that has been ackno\vlcdgcd, but is little understood outside of a history book today. The tri-county played a part in the Underground Railroad, and a marker will be unveiled at the John Gee Historical Center to celebrate its role in helping slaves fleeing to fi-eedom. The "railroad," as it was, was not a train, but a series of safe houses and hiding places for those working their way out of the slaveholding states to points north. · These places of refuge were owned or mann ed by sympathetic individuals in the pre-Civil War period. Some of these folks were dedicated to the abolition of slavery. Others were early enthusiasts for the rights of others, or motivated by religious belie(< inspiring them to help their fellow man on to a better lite. Whatever the reason, it ate away at the fabric of a practice that would tear a nation in two. The John Gee Chapel, founded in I ~1 ~. was one of the links in the Underground Railroad . Even when the War Between the States erupted, it served as a shelter for soldiers when Gallipolis became an encampment for the Union Army. Other sites played an unsung role in the railroad's history. The_ story they were a part of is a fascinating illumination of the struggle for freedom within the land of the free. The Friends of Freedom Society, based in Columbus, and part of the National Underground Railroad Initiative, is pre<enting the marker to the John Gee Center this week . The marker is recognition of past sacrifices, danger and defiance in the face of what was then a volatile political and social situation. Prior to the Emancipation Proclamation, it was a criminal action in some areas to harbor an escapmg slave. We hope the marker will also serve as a lasting .memorial to people, black and white, who put their lives on the line for their bclit.fs. That spirit was alive and well a century later when white" join ed with blacks in the c1vil rights movement, all of them at risk to their own well-being. The story of the Undergmund Railroad tells us something about being Americans. We didn 't always have to fight ovtrscas to pn.·scrvc our love of freedom. We had built experience for that fight at hom e. by doil)g what was right. lt's a story we need to know more about, bt•cmse it reveal ' :1 '\id e of our national character rh ar otfcrs inspiration to o ur jaded times .

Religion had only begun to be injected into presidential politics in those days. This year the campaign is awash in protestations of faith. On balance that's good, but it deserves exploration. So if and when Texas Gov. George W. llush and Vice President Al Gore debate, I hope someone repeats Barnes' question . Ilarncs, now executive editor ofThe Weekly Standard and my TV partm.-r in punditry on the Fox News Channel, specifically asked President Ronald Reagan and former Vi ce Preside nt W.1lter Mondale to desc ribe their re ligious beliefs. - say, whether they considcrs·d themselves born-again Christians- and tell how those beliefs ntight affect their dccisw ns . In a famom follow-up, he asked R eaga n why. if he was a believer, he never went to church or held se rvices in the White House. R eaga n lamely replied that he feared exposing rht· congrt'gatlon to terrorism . This year the candidates won't have to be asked to describe their religious bdi ef.<. Gore, Bush aud GQP vice presidential nominee lJi ck Chenl'Y oil have declare d thentsekes born-again (neither Reaga n nor Mondalc claimed that identity in 1984, although Jimmy Cart,· r did in 197o). Gore h as sa id he solves policy question s by asking himself, " What would Jesus do'" And !lush ca used a stir this spring when he said that th e political philosopher who had m ost influenced hun is "Jesus ... b eca use he t.:han ged m y hearr.'' Core's running mate, Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-Conn.), has attra~ted mort' attention than any o ther candidate by referrrng often to his Orthodox Jewish faith and by calhng on Americans ro "renew th e dedicatio n of our natrun and ourselves to God and God's purpose."

Personally. I thin!< for all kinds of reaso ns that it's good for politicians to talk about ths•ir religions. But if they do, they also ought to be questioned abuut it to determim: whether , their protestations are since re or shallow and what dll:ct th eir beliefs might haw on policy.

My neighbor will start cleaning my . house two times a month . I'll be paying her $80 a month. Do I need to report this to Social Secunty? A. If you pay your household worker $1,100 or more in cash ...vagcs dunng a year. you are responsible for reporting the household worker's wages.' Since you'll be paying kss than S1, 100 ($960) for the year, you do not have to report your household worker's wages. For Q. read son)ewhere that women know less about Social Security than men. Is this true? A. A recent Gallup poll shows that 47 percent ot" women are knowledgeable about Social Security. while the figure for the population as a whole is 55 percent. The Social Security Administration is using the finding to urge women to learn about their Social Security coverage. Q. Is Social Security in financial trouble' A. There is no immediate crisis in the Social Security system but some changes are needed to ensure solvency over the next 75 years and beyond. According to the 1999 Report of the Board of Trustees. the Social Security trust funds are adequately financed to meet the short-range needs. However, in about 2037, the Social SecuritY trust funds are expected to be depleted, and the continumg income from the Social Security tax will cover only about threefourths of annual benefits. the tightness in our c hests when we h ad head colds.

(AP) -A Nike conunercial featuring a woman sprinting away from a chainsaw-wielding masked man has been pulled from NBC's Olympics lineup, the network announced Monday. The television ad featuring distlnce runner Suzy Favor Hamilton prompted thousands of critical phone calls and e-mails, NBC said. It was tlken off the air early Monday. Charles Denson, vice president of the athletic shoe giant, was disappointed in the network's response. "I guess we felt it was a litde ironic," he said. "They (NBC) preapprmoed the ad before it ran in the Olympic spot." The ad begins with Hamilton spotting a man in a hockey mask, much like the "Jason" character from the "Friday the 13th" movies, preparing to att1ck her with a chain saw. Hamilton runs off and keeps up such a strong pice the masked attacker coUapses, wheezing exhaustion. The tag line of the ad says: "Why sport? You 'll live longer." The ad drew laughs from the crowd at Nike's anm1al shareholder meeting in Portland on Monday, along with a second ad featuring Olympic cyclist Lance Armsrrong using mouth-to-tnmk resuscitJtion to revive a circus elepham. The answer to the question, "Why sport'" in the Armstrong ad is "Healthy lungs." Earlier, before it was learned the ad had been pullnl. Denson responded to an audiene< question asking whether the ad might be seen as encouraging violttnce toward wonu:n . He said it was simply intended JS a parody and Hamilton had fun filming the ad. Gay reservist won't give up PHOENIX (AP) -An Arizona state lawmaker fighting his ouster from the Army Reserves after announcing during legisbtiw debate that he is gay said Menday he won't surrender his case but expects to lose. . A panel of three colonels recommended Sunday that Lt. Steve May be honorably discharged for violating the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy regarding homosexuality. The recommendation is subject to a review by a ge•neral and approval by the Defense Department. In the meantime, May will continue as a reserve lieutenant two days a month. May has filed an appeal but believes the military won't decide in his · favor. "It is possible, but history is not on our side," he said. The Army Reserve maintains that booting May was part of abiding by Defense Department policy. . Under the "don't ask, don't tell" rule enacted in 1994, gaY' are admitted to the Armed Forces as long as they don't declare their sexual orientltion. In turn, the military is barred from seeking such information about a service member. Since the poLcy has been in force, more than 5,000 people have been discharged for breaking their silence. But May's case is unique because of his role as a legi>lator, said Dixon Osburn, co-clirector of the Servicemembcrs Legal Defense Network, a group helping military membe" facing discharge because of their sexual orientltion. "It's the grandest of Ironies that the voters of Arizona chose Steve May partially because of his honesty in being gay, and the Army is punishing him for his honesty," Osburn said.

Gilbride dcclin l'd COlll lll e' nt Monday. LANDOVER, Md. (AP) - · Even after a $100 million makeover, the Washington Redskins once again · looked ugly against the Dallas Cowboys. · Randall Cunningham threw two touch•down passes and Emmitt Smith ran for 83 yards and a score as th e previously winless Cowboys bear the haughty Redskins 27-2 1 Mon day night, their sixth straight victory over their arch rivals. Redskins owner Daniel Snyder spent S100 million during th e offseason in an effo rt to reach the Super Bowl, signing players such as former Cowboys star Deion Sanders and defensive tackle Bruce Smith. At this point, however, the Red•kins (1 -2) can't even beat a Dallas team that is clearly in a rebuilding mode under new coach Dave Campo. The Cowboys, in danger offalling to 0-3 for the first time since 1989, instead recorded another satisfying win against their NFC Easr adversaries. "To beat them, it feels even sweeter," said Dallas sa fety Izcll Reese, who had a crucial fourth-quarter interception. "They spent all th at money with the fo cus of beating the Cowboys. So we come into their own backyard and whipped them on Monday night. It doesn't get much better than that." The Redskins probably thought things couldn't get any worse after their 15- 10 loss in Detroit. But losing at home against Dallas is about as bad as it gets •.sspecially because Washington entered the season with such lofty expectations. The Redskins had tw ll turnovers and were penaliz ed six times for 82 yards. A pass interference call against Darrell Gree n aided one Dallas touchdown drive, and .an unneces..:;ary roughness call against ofli:nsiw ta ckle Andy He c k ruined a potemial scoring drive early in the fourth quarter. "We made way too many mistakes," Redskm s coach Nnrv Turner said. "We had stupid penalties and errors . When you make those kind of mistakes . you usually don't have a clun cc to win." Tl1e Redskins dosed to 24-21 with 5:34 left on a 7 -y.~rd touchdown pass fmm Aratl Johnson to Mike Sellns, aiill Washington quickly furr ed a punt. Dut Reese picked otT a Jo hnson overrhrow ""I returned it 46 yards to st:t up ;_t field goal by Tim Scde·r with 1:46 remaining.

(AP) -A Nike conunercial featuring a woman sprinting away from a chainsaw-wielding masked man has been pulled from NBC's Olympics lineup, the network announced Monday. The television ad featuring distlnce runner Suzy Favor Hamilton prompted thousands of critical phone calls and e-mails, NBC said. It was tlken off the air early Monday. Charles Denson, vice president of the athletic shoe giant, was disappointed in the network's response. "I guess we felt it was a litde ironic," he said. "They (NBC) preapprmoed the ad before it ran in the Olympic spot." The ad begins with Hamilton spotting a man in a hockey mask, much like the "Jason" character from the "Friday the 13th" movies, preparing to att1ck her with a chain saw. Hamilton runs off and keeps up such a strong pice the masked attacker coUapses, wheezing exhaustion. The tag line of the ad says: "Why sport? You 'll live longer." The ad drew laughs from the crowd at Nike's anm1al shareholder meeting in Portland on Monday, along with a second ad featuring Olympic cyclist Lance Armsrrong using mouth-to-tnmk resuscitJtion to revive a circus elepham. The answer to the question, "Why sport'" in the Armstrong ad is "Healthy lungs." Earlier, before it was learned the ad had been pullnl. Denson responded to an audiene< question asking whether the ad might be seen as encouraging violttnce toward wonu:n . He said it was simply intended JS a parody and Hamilton had fun filming the ad. Gay reservist won't give up PHOENIX (AP) -An Arizona state lawmaker fighting his ouster from the Army Reserves after announcing during legisbtiw debate that he is gay said Menday he won't surrender his case but expects to lose. . A panel of three colonels recommended Sunday that Lt. Steve May be honorably discharged for violating the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy regarding homosexuality. The recommendation is subject to a review by a ge•neral and approval by the Defense Department. In the meantime, May will continue as a reserve lieutenant two days a month. May has filed an appeal but believes the military won't decide in his · favor. "It is possible, but history is not on our side," he said. The Army Reserve maintains that booting May was part of abiding by Defense Department policy. . Under the "don't ask, don't tell" rule enacted in 1994, gaY' are admitted to the Armed Forces as long as they don't declare their sexual orientltion. In turn, the military is barred from seeking such information about a service member. Since the poLcy has been in force, more than 5,000 people have been discharged for breaking their silence. But May's case is unique because of his role as a legi>lator, said Dixon Osburn, co-clirector of the Servicemembcrs Legal Defense Network, a group helping military membe" facing discharge because of their sexual orientltion. "It's the grandest of Ironies that the voters of Arizona chose Steve May partially because of his honesty in being gay, and the Army is punishing him for his honesty," Osburn said.

Gilbride dcclin l'd COlll lll e' nt Monday. LANDOVER, Md. (AP) - · Even after a $100 million makeover, the Washington Redskins once again · looked ugly against the Dallas Cowboys. · Randall Cunningham threw two touch•down passes and Emmitt Smith ran for 83 yards and a score as th e previously winless Cowboys bear the haughty Redskins 27-2 1 Mon day night, their sixth straight victory over their arch rivals. Redskins owner Daniel Snyder spent S100 million during th e offseason in an effo rt to reach the Super Bowl, signing players such as former Cowboys star Deion Sanders and defensive tackle Bruce Smith. At this point, however, the Red•kins (1 -2) can't even beat a Dallas team that is clearly in a rebuilding mode under new coach Dave Campo. The Cowboys, in danger offalling to 0-3 for the first time since 1989, instead recorded another satisfying win against their NFC Easr adversaries. "To beat them, it feels even sweeter," said Dallas sa fety Izcll Reese, who had a crucial fourth-quarter interception. "They spent all th at money with the fo cus of beating the Cowboys. So we come into their own backyard and whipped them on Monday night. It doesn't get much better than that." The Redskins probably thought things couldn't get any worse after their 15- 10 loss in Detroit. But losing at home against Dallas is about as bad as it gets •.sspecially because Washington entered the season with such lofty expectations. The Redskins had tw ll turnovers and were penaliz ed six times for 82 yards. A pass interference call against Darrell Gree n aided one Dallas touchdown drive, and .an unneces..:;ary roughness call against ofli:nsiw ta ckle Andy He c k ruined a potemial scoring drive early in the fourth quarter. "We made way too many mistakes," Redskm s coach Nnrv Turner said. "We had stupid penalties and errors . When you make those kind of mistakes . you usually don't have a clun cc to win." Tl1e Redskins dosed to 24-21 with 5:34 left on a 7 -y.~rd touchdown pass fmm Aratl Johnson to Mike Sellns, aiill Washington quickly furr ed a punt. Dut Reese picked otT a Jo hnson overrhrow ""I returned it 46 yards to st:t up ;_t field goal by Tim Scde·r with 1:46 remaining.

MARCIE .. IT'S 60NNA f'E A COLLECTOR'S ITEM! Last year, Larry Cohen started a three CD-ROM project, relating all the deals from·the 1999 Life Master Pairs al the Summer Nationals in San Antonio, Texas. The day-two disk is now available. While you play through the 56 deals, Cohen asks you bidding and p[ay questions. Aimed pri· marily at tournament players, the disk provides excellent instruction on both pairs strategy and the theoretical aspects of the game . The text also includes many light touches. But it's not a competition. Rarely did a deal pan out in San Antonio as Cohen describes. In this deal, South's three-t.otrump opening is called gambling. It shows a solid seven- or eight-card minor with no void. I think it should also deny a side ace or king, making responder's life .relatively easy. But this pair permits scaltered side-suit stoppers , forcing responder-- and the opposition -- to guess . If this opening is passed out, usually the defense should try to cash the first five tricks.. Throwing fourth -highest oul of the win dow, West should lead a majorsuit ace. Cohen forces you to se lect the spade ace : two. three. five . As partner apparently di scouraged, you try the heart ace: five , three, eight. Well, if East liked hearts, he surely had a higher spot he could afford. But in spades he might have been unable to " waste" a higher card . It is correct to lead the spade I0 next, allowing your side to collect four spade tricks and the heart ace for one down. Note finally that if East signals with the spade nine at trick one, declarer can get home. The disk costs $33.95 postpaid.

MARCIE .. IT'S 60NNA f'E A COLLECTOR'S ITEM! Last year, Larry Cohen started a three CD-ROM project, relating all the deals from·the 1999 Life Master Pairs al the Summer Nationals in San Antonio, Texas. The day-two disk is now available. While you play through the 56 deals, Cohen asks you bidding and p[ay questions. Aimed pri· marily at tournament players, the disk provides excellent instruction on both pairs strategy and the theoretical aspects of the game . The text also includes many light touches. But it's not a competition. Rarely did a deal pan out in San Antonio as Cohen describes. In this deal, South's three-t.otrump opening is called gambling. It shows a solid seven- or eight-card minor with no void. I think it should also deny a side ace or king, making responder's life .relatively easy. But this pair permits scaltered side-suit stoppers , forcing responder-- and the opposition -- to guess . If this opening is passed out, usually the defense should try to cash the first five tricks.. Throwing fourth -highest oul of the win dow, West should lead a majorsuit ace. Cohen forces you to se lect the spade ace : two. three. five . As partner apparently di scouraged, you try the heart ace: five , three, eight. Well, if East liked hearts, he surely had a higher spot he could afford. But in spades he might have been unable to " waste" a higher card . It is correct to lead the spade I0 next, allowing your side to collect four spade tricks and the heart ace for one down. Note finally that if East signals with the spade nine at trick one, declarer can get home. The disk costs $33.95 postpaid.

Coslet conceded, however, he is concerned that the Bengals have lacked an effective running game even though Pro Bowl running back Corey Dillon - a threetime, I ,000-yard rusher - and a largely unchanged offensive line a~ in action. "I think we have one of the top running backs in the league, I really do," Coslet told reporters. "We have basically the same line in there, except Mike Goff. That really bothers me. "It's just not in synch right now. for whatever reason." Dillon managed only 32 yards rushing on 17 carries in Sunday's 13-0 loss to Jacksonville. The Bengals offensive line allowed quarterback Akili Smith to be sacked five times - after allowing seven sacks the week before againsr Cleveland. The Bengals managed only 230 total yards Sunday. It was the first shutout in Jacksonville's history. Right tackle Willie Anderson said the Ben gals' offensive line hasn't figured out yet what other teams are doing to beat it. And the Bengals figure to see more of MNF fromPageB1 microphones and smiled broadly. "That's one," he said, referring to his fint win as an NFL coach. "We needed a confidencebuilder, and we got one. This gives us a chance to move on and be a good football team." Stephen Davis scored two touchdowns for the Redskins and ran for 91 y.ards, but Campo was encouraged to see Dallas hold Washington to just 107 yards on the ground. 1\vo weeks earlier, Philadelphia's Duce Staley ran for 201 yards in a 41-14 rout in Dal- las. it Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens, who have orie of the NFL's best defenses. "In the NFL, teams do something until you sun picking it up," Anderson said. " It's like a shark smelling blood." The Bengals moved the ball past midfield only four times and never got past Jacksonville's 27yard line. Smith threw two interceptions. Neil Rackers missed field goal tries from 44 and 47 yards. Coslet said he won't f'nic. And, he said he sees no reason to change anything yet - not even !ticket Rackers, a rookie who has accomplished little since he won predecessor Doug Pelfrey's job during the preseason. "I think he's going to be a heck of a kicker," Coslet said of Rackers. " I plan to stay with him until we replace him. That time won't come soon." Two of the Bengals defenders who helped limit high-scoring Jacksonville to 13 points said they believe Cincinnati's offense will recover from its swoon. "I think the offense will pick it up," linebacker Takeo Spikes said. "We just neea to win. We've got nothing to lose." "I'm not worried about the offense," nose uckle Oliver Gibson said. "It's just a matter of getting your timing down." tonight was our rushing defense," Campo said. "You stop the run, it gives you a chance to do some things in the secondary." Sanders, meanwhile, had very little impact on the game. He ran left with the first Dallas punt of the night, then handed the ball to Champ Bailey, who sprinted 54 yards to set up a Davis touchdown for a 7-0 lead. But Cunningham hooked up with Warren for the equalizer..and Smith scored on fourth down from the 3 in the second quarter to put Dallas up 14- 7 at halftime. Despite two second-half turnovers, Dallas held on. "When I was a Cowboy, we believed we could come in here and win," Sanders said. "I see that's still going on." "The key to the whole · thing "I didn't do very good damage control," said Estes, who didn't receive his customary 6.5 runs of support, most in the majors.
