Tentative calculatiOns are that the astero•~. called 1997 XFII , w1ll pass within about 26,000 m•les of the Earth's center on or about 1·30 p.m. EST on Oct 26, 2028, and experts warn that there 1s a chance it could actually impact Such a h1t would release energy equal to thousands of atOmiC bombs "It wtll come extremely close," said Brian Marsden of the International Astronomical Union, whtch issued an asteroid alert Wednesday. "The chances of impact are very small, but not impossible. We've not had a case like this before." Marsden said his calculattons of the asteroid 's path have a margm of error ofabout 180,000 miles, plus or minus, but he believes a pass Within 30,000 m1les of the Earth's center was the most likely, based on the current observations The IAU has identified 108 a.<terOids that orbit close enough to Earth to be called "potentially hazardous objects," satd Marsden, but astronomers have never seen an object this b1g movtng on a path that would carry 11 so close to the Earth. "It ts not the kmd of sttuat1on where people should be worried as yet," smd Marsden. "If it was only a few months away, we should be deadly womed But wtth 30 years, astronomers wtll solve the problem." That might mean a rocket canymg an atomtc explos1ve could be sent to the asterotd and detonated on its rocky surface tn an attempt to nudge 11 into an orbit that misses Earth. The asteroid was discovered tn December, and repeated observations have steadily refined the proJected orbital path of the speeding space rock. " COLUMBUS (AP) -If the arguments for a proposal to regulate pnvate prisons and the arguments against 11 sounded a lot alike, that's because they were. The House on Wednesday approved a conference committee report that would 1mpose new rules on privately owned prisons. mcluding one already operalmg in Ybungstown. The 73-23 vote camelunly hours after the second slaying 111 two weeks at the Northeast Ohio Correctional Center. The pnson houses about 1.500 inmates from the Washington, D.C., area. Twenty-one of the House's 39 Democrats voted against the report.

' The ongmal b1ll passed the House But the Senate added the proviston that would pnvallze operat1ons at Grafton. which will house felony drunken-drivmg offenders. A House-Senate conference committee passed a compromtse bill after Democrats on the committee agreed to ke'Cp the Grafton provision in the bill.

He urged lawmakers to vote for the report anyway. "The commtltee felt tl was cnt•cal, absolutely cnttcal, that we move the regulatton language m thiS bill," sa1d Mason, R-Bexley. In other acuon, the House failed to produce the 66 votes needed to agree to Senate changes m another emer- gency b1ll that would add a common pleas judgesh•p tn Ene County.

The Big Ten said the first and third technicals assessed against Knight by Valentine were proper. But the second technical was "clearly erroneous ... because Knight went onto the floor to attend an injured player." Big Ten associate commissioner Rich Falk, citing NCAA policy, would not say where, or if, Valentine was officiating during the NCAA tournament. Such decisions are not disclosed until 20 minutes before gametime. The Big Ten committee that heard Indiana's appeal included faculty representatives and administrators at Big Ten schools. The conference reportedly found that Knight violated its sportsmanlike conduct code, which includes intentionally inciting participants or spectators to violent or abusive action ~d publicly and unduly criticizing a game official. , Knight =ived one technical foul in the first half, ' then picked up another with 9:37 left in the second half after Luke Recker was·injured on a drive. • On the play, Illinois· Sergio McClain grabbed the rim, drawing a technical. Knight argued that Recker's shot should have counted as a basket because of goaltending, but officials correctly ruled that when McClain grabbed the rim. the ball was automatically dead. Therefore. no goaltending. Knight was given a technical for leaving the coaching area to check on Recker, who was still on the floor. Valentine then gave him a third tech- nical. As the coach left the As'sembly Hall floor, he made a point of walking in front of Valentine at midcoun. In 1985, Knight was suspended for one game after throwing a chair across the court during a game against Purdue. He also was suspended for one game in 1993 after a sideline tirade in a game against Notre Dame. During that outburst, Knight screamed at his son, Pat, a member of the Indiana· team, and kicked him in the leg. When fans behind the Indiana bench started booing, Knight responded with an obscenity. Knight also was reprimanded and fined $30,000 by the NCAA for an outburst at a news conference during the NCAA tournament in 1995.

Rose, a 17 -lime All-Star and the National League's MVP in 1973, agreed to the lifetime ban on Aug. 23, 1989. The ban also has excluded Rose from th~ Hall of Fame because players under suspensiog cannot be Iisted on the ballot. Rose, who agreed to accept the ban following baseball's investiga· tion of his gambling, applied for reinstatement Sept. 26.

The 0.1 percent decline .in the Producer Price Index came on lop of a 0.7 percent plunge in January, the biggest one-month drop in more than four years, the Labor Department said today. · February marked the 12th month in 14 that the index has declined or remained unchanged. Over lhe .xrst 12 months, it's fallen 1.6 percent. The price drop for goods rurchased by wholesalers; combined with moderate price increases for services has trlutslated into near price stability for American consumers. And that, along with moderate wage hikes, have created the biggest gains in purchasing power in two decades and allowed the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates low. _ Energy prices, down 1.8 percent lasfnfonth:after a 3.7 percent drop in January, fell for most of last year.

However, the Solon-based Ohio Roundtable filed the lawsuit on Feb. 19 seeking lo prevent the issue from reaching the ballot In its lawsuit, the group said the Legislature misused a 147-year-old provision in the Ohio Constitution to put the issue before voters. Lawmakers tried previously to pas.~ legislation that would have used a constitutional amendment to ask voters to raise taxes. But the 99-membC:r House failed twice to gel the 60 votes needed to put an amendment on the ballot. Without an amendment, the Legislalure needed a simple majority for passage.

The legislatioro earmarks $173 billion for highway building and safety programs - .$151.4 billion of lhalto go directly to slates. That is 36 percent more than was in the 19921997 plan. Mass transit is to gel $41.3 billion. a 31 percent increase. Congress passed a stopgap high- way funding measure la.~l fall after Rep. Bud Shuster. R-Pa., chairman of the House Transponation and Infrastructure Committee, demanded spending that would have busted the budget. The logjam was broken when senators '!greed to shift 4.3 cenl~ of the gas lax. which had been used for budget deficit reduction. to transponation programs. The gas tax money firfances most of the additional $26 billion for . highways and $5 billion for ma.o;s transit. compared with what Senate committees approved last year. To keep the budget intact, cuts - still unspecified - must be made in oth· er federal programs. Shuster and his allies still want several billion more than the Senate bill provides. Shuster said the House may not act on the bill by May I when the stopgap measure expiresbut that there will be enough money ••in the pipeline" to keep road projects going. The 800-page transportation bill, worked out . during two weeks of de bat~. was hailed as a boon to the economy, with supporters estimating 42,000 jobs are created by each $1 billion in transportation spending. "It is truly a !>ridge to the 21st century. " said Seri. Christopher Dodd. D-Conn., putting a new twist on the Democrats' 1996 presidential campaign slogan. Senate Environment and Public Works Commiuee Chairman John Chafee. R-R.I., cleared the last major hurdle when he came up with more money for seven stales whose sena· tors said they would lose highway funds under a new distribution formula. Those slates: Arizona, Indiana, Michigan. Oklahoma, South Carolina. Texa.~ and Wisconsin. However. most senators were plea.~ed with the new formula. which guarantees stales gel back 91 percent of the money they pay into the Highway Trust Fund. Now. some slates gel back as lillie a.~ 70 cenL~ per dollar. In the first major lest for affirma- live action laws, the Senate defeated 58-37.an amendment by Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., thai would have scuttled a Transportation Department program intended to award 10 percent of federol construction contracts to minorities and women. The Senate approved amendments banning driving with open containers of alcohol, and said stales must enact 0.08 percent a.< the blood-alcohol level for drunken driving. Stales that balk would lose highway money. The bill also extends from the year 2000 10 2007 a reduction in I he gas tax imposed on fuel that has a 10 percent blend of ethanol. Cost of the subs id~ was estimated al $3.2 billion. By BRIAN J.

Marjorie Rice reported on the valentine sunshine program which she and Atkins conducted at the Veterans Memorial Hospital Extended Care Unit Belly Lowery and Donna Jenkins helped with refreshments for the party. The group planned a therapy session for the patients to be held sometime this month, and donated money to buy some needed items for the facility. Members were invited by the Wildwood Garden Club to attend a meeting at the Meigs Library and the county meeting to plan for the regional meeting was announced. The regional board will meet on April II at Chester in preparation for the spring conference to be held on April 25 at the Senior Citizens Center. The Salisbury PTA will serve the luncheon. It was reported that flower arrangements had been taken to churches by Lowery, Rice and Atkins. Devotions were given by Atkins and roll call was answered by naming something seen that said "spring."

To eat or nest they like sheltered places. Insects account for a third of their fOod intake during the warm season, she said, and when the eggs hatch the parents share feed . Blackwood concluded by quoting artist John Audubon who said "In richness plumage, elegance uf motion, and strength of song, this species surpasses all its kindred in the United Stales." . Rice gave lips on attracting birds lo a yard . She said to furnish water for drinking and bathing, provide feeders, and plant the right mix shrubs, flowers and trees for shelter. She also suggested setting aside a corner of the yard as a wild area and maintaining a small protected area free of plants for dust bathing.

By LAURAN NEERGAARD AP Medical Writer WASHINGTON- Reversing an almost 20-year trend, the rate of new cancer.cases among Americans final-· ly is inching down - prompting doctors lo proclaim new hope. More than 70,000 fewer people than expected were diagnosed with cancer between 1992 and· 1995, as cancer rates dropped 2.7 percent each year, according lo government data released Thursday. '"We are witnessing an unprecedented downturn," said American Cancer Society chief executive John Seffrin. "The rate of this downturn can and therefore must be accelerated." But everybody did not benefit: Some cancers, such as deadly melanoma, still are rising, and black men and Asian women in particular missed o~l on the progress. "We have to make sure the best (medical) practices are being applied to everyone, .. said National Cancer Institute Director Richard Klausner, warning that cancer remains "a daunting problem." What is happening? Scientists could not say exactly- they still are analyzing 23 different cancer.;. ··These data are crucial as we develop cancer policies and programs." explained Dr. Edward Sondik of the Centers for Diseao;e Control and Prevention. But they said tobacco use, blamed for one-third of all cancer ca.o;es, has dropped. Also, people are getting bel· 1er testing. meaning not just that cancer is treated earlier but that, for example. pre~anccrous colon polyps can be removed before ever turning into tumors. It is believed that at least onefounh of all cancers could be pre· vented by eating more fruits and veg- · etables and less fat, but scientists were skeptical that diet had an impact yet - obesity actually is rising. The new study by American Cancer Society and government scientists found cancer nites increased by 1.2 percent every year from 1973 to 1992, when the sudden drop began. 1.1 percent ayear, mostly because of Preliminary re~ulls from 1996 men. who began quilling smoking suggest the downturn is continuing. earlier than women.

The bad news: Black men have the nation ·s highest cancer incidence rates, and they still are climbing almost half a percent a year. Women from Asia and the Pacific Islands saw no change in cancer diagnoses but their deaths increased. In addition. dtadly melanoma from too much lime in the sun is rising, as are non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and bladder cancer. Uterine cancer reverlied a pre- I990 downtrend to level off. Progress against specific cancers varies greatly: · • Lung cancer incidence ~ppcd • New breast cancer cases had increased 1.8 percent a year between 1973 and 1990. They then leveled off except among black women, whose cases still rise almost I percent a year. But these figures are misleading because they count only invasive breast cancer, not the very early ·"ductal carcinoma in situ" - too small to be caught except on X-raydiagnosed in thousands of women annually. DCIS is on the rise, but how dangerous it is and how 10 treat it are very controversial. Breast cancer deaths dropjJed 1.9 percent annually among white and Hispanic women .
