She was JOO. Gies' Web site reported that she died Monday after a brief illness. The report was confirmed by museum spokeswoman Maatje Mostar. but she gave no details. The British Broadcasting Corp. said she died in a nursing home after suffering a fall last month . · Gies was the last of the few non-Jews who supplied food. book!. and good cheer to the secret annex behind the canal warehouse \\here Anne. her parents, sister and four other Jews hid for 25 months during World War II. After the apartment was raided by the German police. Gies gathered up Anne's scattered notebooks and papers and locked them in a drawer for her return after the war. The diary, which Anne Frank was given on her 13th birthday, chronicles her Iife in hiding from June 12. 1942 until August I • 1944. Gies refused to read the papers. saying even a teenager's privacy was ~acred. Later. she said if she had read them she would ha\ e had to burn them becau~e they incriminated the "helpers." Anne Frank died of typhus at age 15 in the Bergen- AP photo/Steve North, FILE In this 1998 photo Miep Gies displays a copy of her book "Anne Frank Remembered" at her apartment in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Anne Frank called them the Helpers. They provided food, books and good cheer while her family hid for two years from the Nazis in a tiny attic apartment. The Anne Frank Museum says Gies, who helped the teenage diarist's family hide from the Nazis, died Monday. She was 100. Belsen concentration camp in March 1945. just two weeks before the camp \\as liberated. Gies gave the diary to Anne's father Otto. the only survivor. who published it in 1947. After the diary was published. Gies tirelessly promoted causes of tolerance. She brushed aside the accolades for helping hide the Frank family as more than she deserved - as if, she said, she had tried to save all the Jews of occupied Holland. "This is very unfair. So many others have done the same or even far more dangerous work." she wrote in an e-mail to The Associated Press days before her 1OOth birthday last February. '·The Diary of Anne Prank" was the first popular book about the Holocaust. and has been read by millions of children and adults around the world in some 65 languages. For her courage. Gies was bestowed with the "Righteous Gentile" title by the Israeli Holocaust museum Yad Yashern. She has also been honored by the German Government. Dutch monarchy and educational institutions. Nevertheless, Gics resisted being made a character study of heroism for the young. "I don't want to be considered a hero." she said in a 1997 online chat with schoolchildren. "Imagine ) oung people would grow up with the feeling that )OU have to be a hero to do your human duty. I am afraid nobody would ever help other people. because who is a hero? I was not. I was just an ordinary housewife and secretary." Born Hermine Santrouschitz on Feb. 15. 1909 in Vienna. Gies moved to Amsterdam m 1922 to escape food shortages in Austria. She lived with a host family who gave her the nickname Miep. In 1933, Gies took a job as an office assistant in the spice business of Otto Frank. After refusin~ to join a Nazi organization m 1941. she avoided deportation to Austria by marrying her Dutch boyfriend, Jan Gies. As the Nazis ramped up their arrests and deportations of Dutch Jews, Otto Frank asked Gies in July 1942 to help hide his famil) in the annex above the compan) 's canal-side warehouse on Prinsengracht 263 and to bring them food and '>Upplies. "I anS\\ered. 'Yes. of course.· It seemed perfectly natural to me. I could help these people. They were powerless. they didn't know where to turn." 1>he said years later. Jan and Miep Gies worked with four other employees in the firm to sustain the Franks and four other Jews sharing the annex. Jan secured extra food ration cards from the underground resistance. Miep cycled around the city. alternating grocers to ward off suspicions from this highl) dangerous acth it). In her e-mail to the AP last February. Gies remembered her husband. who died in 1993. as one of Holland's unsung war heroes. "He was a resi~tance man who said nothing but did a lot. During the war he refused to Sa) anything about his work. only that he might not come back one night. People like him existed in thousands but were never heard," she wrote. Touched b) Anne's precocious mtelligence and loneli ness. Miep also brought Anne books and newspapers while rcmcmbenng everybody's birthdays and special days with gifts.

I final~ ly bought a really cute one from this fellow who had a couple dozen to choose from. He assured me it was a nice Christmas gift. We have found out in the past few weeks that the pony is not as nice as it is cute. M y daughter is afraid of him because he is mean . and I wonder if I should make the guy give her a new . one. - G.D. Dear G.D .: It sounds as if you might have been better off just hiring the guy t9 bring a pony for a Christmas party and then take the animal back home. Or maybe you should hav~ gotten your daughter a col lection of model horses to practice taking care of grooming. braidi ng their hair. giving them their shots. having their hooves trimmed. etc. Then it might at least have dawned on you and your child that you were dealing with a live animaL not a~cuddly rocking horse from Toys R Us! You blame the horse trader who. granted. should have pointed you in the direction of a vet and a pony expert of some sort - but your own attitudes seem to need a bit of a readjustment. There are fony clubs out there, and i you are in rural area it is likely that children your daughter 's age are involved in horse care via the 4-H Clubs that are very popular in the countr). Your daughte_r could be learning enough about pomes to help pick one out next time - ponies are notorious for being naughty and sometimes difficult for children. Mavbe a small horse would better suit your purposes So. don't be afraid to do a little research and join the horsey set around to\\n, and don't ever think that a living animal is a great idea for a Christmas gift.

Sa) your marriage is going through a particular!) rou2h time. and those spats see~m to be increasing. If the urge to shop it out is the only way you have developed to cope with hurt feelings or conflict, then you could find the bills getting out of hand - and beginning to become a new source of stress in the relationship. Then the mall therapy becomes a vicious cycle of escalating problems. and you arc way worse off than when you started. You don't say i f your mother has gotten away with her version of therapy all these years without getting into hot water with the credit-card compan) or her husband. But chances are \'cry good that one or both of you are going to find your luck running out sooner or later if you continue along this path. While you are still in control. try to think of some other way to make yourself happy - like taking the time and effort to go back to your husband and trying to face the issues that made you run to the mall in the first place.

The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Tuesday, Jan. 12, the 12th day of 201 0. There are 353 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On Jan. 12, 1910, at a White House dinner hosted by President William Howard Taft, Baroness Rosen, the wife of the Russian ambassador, caused a stir by requesting and smoking a cigarette - it was, apparently, the first time a woman had smoked openly during a public function in the executive mansion. (Some of the other women present who had brought their own cigarettes began lighting up in turn.) On this date: In 1519, Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I died. In 1773, the f1rst public museum in America was orgamzed, in Charleston. S.C. In 1915, the U.S. House of Representatives rejected, 204-174. a constitutional amendment giving women the right to vote. In 1932, Hattie W. Caraway became the first woman elected to the U.S. Senate, after serving out the remainder of the term of her late husband, Thaddeus. In 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt re-established the National War Labor Board. In 1948, the Supreme Court ruled that state law schools could not discriminate against applicants on the basis of race. In 1959, Berry Gordy Jr. founded Motown Records (originally Tamla Records) in Detroit. In 1966, President Lyndon B. Johnson said in his State of the Union address that the U.S. should stay in South Vietnam until Communist aggression there was ended. In 1976, mystery writer Agatha Christie died in Wallingford, England, at 85. In 1986, the shuttle Columbia blasted off with a crew that included the first Hispanic-American in space. Dr. Franklin R. Chang-Diaz. Ten years ago: The U.S. Supreme Court gave police broad authonty to stop and question people who run at the sight of an off1cer. Forced to act by a European court ruling, Britain lifted 1ts ban on gays in the military. Charlotte Hornets guard Bobby Phills was killed in an automobile crash. Five years ago: A NASA spacecraft, Deep Impact, blasted off on a miss1on to smash a hole in a comet and give scientists a glimpse of the frozen primordial ingredients of the solar system. (The probe smashed into Comet Tempel 1 in July 2005.) Democrat Christine Gregoire, winner of the extremely close Washington governor's race, was inaugurated. Britain's Prince Harry apologized after a newspaper published a photograph of the young royal wearing a Nazi uniform to a costume party.

La\\ makers spent most of 2009 strug!!ling to reconcile conflicting ideologfcal interests and competing political agendas. and sorting through the immensely powerful corporate and business interests at stake. in an effort to extend coverage and lower healthcare costs for many millions of Americans. The tortuous deliberations are a case study in why it has become so difficult to govern this country. It was back-breaking legislative labor. But then. that's what governing this country entails. Solving the nation's problems might seem easy when it's just you and a few friends sitting around a lunch counter. but that's not how the work gets actuall) done. Polic) fixes not only need to make overall sense as appropriate and just. they also must be politically realistic. It does no good to come up with a solution that cannot be enacted into policy. Few Americans realize just how hard it is to get to that solution. First, the environment in which legislators toil today is stacked against them: Public confidence in Congress is low, so members of Congress simply do not have much ability to persuade skeptical Americans of the best options. It is diffi<.;ult to engage in the back-and-forth dialogue that enables members to understand where people stand on a given issue. what they are v,:illing to give up or accept, and where they are willing to end up. This is made vastly worse by the poisonous political atmosphere in which legislators work today: the unceasing partisanship on Capitol Hill and back home: the years-long decline of collegialit) in Washington and of civility on the hustmgs. the sheer dai I) i ntcnsit) of our lobb) ing cul- Lee Hamilton ture; the 24-hour news cycle and Web flare-ups; and talk shows that make hostility and belligerence the common coin of political discourse. In this atmosphere, it takes extraordinary political skill and unusual patience to cultivate the legislative virtues of conciliation and cooperation. The legislative process itself makes things harder. It is slow. complex. untidy. filled v. ith potential turning points. and constructed so that it is always easier to stop a piece of legislation than to mo\e 1t along. In a divided Senate. as v.e''e seen with the health-care bill, a single senator can delay or disrupt the process. although even without that hurdle the need to build consensus often means striking deals that are repulsive to some players. objectionable to many, and irritating to all. In a country as immense. diverse and politically divided as ours, however, there is often no other way to reach a workable agreement. In the end, we need to judge the package as a whole - whether the pluses and accomplishments of the bill outweigh the minuses. The complex lineup of issues faced by legislators often allov. s Ia" makers to link them together in order to make progress on a pet concern. To many people in the health care debate, abortion was a side-issue compared to the importance of extending access to care; but for others. abortion v. as the one issue they cared about. and the) were prepared to ha\ e the whole reform effort fail rather than allow the opportunity to pass '' ithout address- ,• ing it. Almost evef) substantial piece of legislation in Congress will reflect the myriad concerns and passions at work on Capitol Hill. and members' ~ill see an opportunity to resolve..,~; their most heartfelt concerns by linking them to other matters. thus making it necessary for legislators to resolve not just the issue in front of them. but many other issues as well. It is no work for the faint-hearted. Then. of course, there's the simple truth that legislative "solutions" to· major public issues are rarely that. The issues the) address tend to be so multi-faceted or difficult to understand fullv that even v. hen ~ measure passes: it is often onl) a fi1 effort: 0\er the )ears. it v.ill have be amended multiple times to clea up ambiguous language. t~. take • ad\antage of mis"ed opportumues. 01 • to adapt to changing Circumstances. , • Moreo\ er. e\ er) lav.. no matter hO\\ \Veil drafted. has to be imple- u mented b) fallible human , , beings.

However. it is certainly better than the more efficient but less democratic alternatives the world , around us offers.

"The practice of cockfighting is commonly a combination of many illegal activities including animal cruelty, illegal gambling, distribution of illegal drugs, and violence," Wyatt said.

The Cincinnati Bengals got their long-suffering fans excited by starting the season with a franchise ftrst, sweeping the rest of the AFC North to win the division title. Then, with a chance to make their surprising season something special, they faded away by losing four of the last five. A 24-14 loss to the New York Jets in a wild-card game on Saturday extended their streak without a playoff win to 19 years and counting. "This is only the start, only the beginning." linebacker Brandon Johnson said. Maybe. Or, maybe it was only a blip. a season when things went their way enough times to get them to the playoffs for only the second time since 1990. The franchise's track record isn't promising that way they've reached the playoffs in consecutive seasons only once in their history, back in 1981-82. To break that streak, they've got a lot of work to do on offense. The high-energy passing game that got them to the playoffs in 2005 is a thing of the past. The Bengals decided to become a runoriented team this season, and it got them to the playoffs but no farther. Their inability to throw the ball caught up with them in the end. Carson Palmer went I of 11 for no yards in a 37-0 loss to the Jets at the Meadowlands that ended the regular season, then was 18 of 36 for 146 yards with a touchdown and an interception in the playoff loss. Another Southern California quarterback Jets rookie Mark Sanchez - got a playoff win before he did. Cincinnati's last playoff win carne in 1990, when Paul Brown was still in the front office and Boomer Esiason was handing off to Ickey Woods. The Bengals have gone through a grabbag of quarterbacks since then - David Klingler, Jeff Blake, Neil O'Donnell, Scott Mitchell, Gus Frerotte, Akili Smith, Jon Kitna - trying to get to the playoffs and win a game. No one could. So far, not even Palmer. While Sanchez looked calm in his first playoff game, the 30-year-old Palmer was repeatedly offtarget. playing more like the rookie. "I was throwing the ball a 1ittle high," Palmer said. "I don't know if it was jitters or not. but I was missing some balls early. But I felt like I started to get it back as the game went on." His receivers weren't much help, and that's the biggest problem the Bengals need to fix in the offseason. They lost their two top tight ends to injury during training camp Reggie Kelly and Ben Utecht - and weren't able to replace dependable thirddown receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh, who left as a free agent. No running back emerged as a receiving threat. By the end, Chad Ochocinco \vas the only dependable receiver, and he was rarely open because of double and triple coverages. The Jets held him to two catches in the last two games.

Page B2 • The Daily Sentinel www .mydailysentinel.com Tuesday, January 12, 2010 :Browns hire Eagles' Pete Carroll leaves USC to coach Seahawks :rom Heckert as GM . CLEVELAND (AP) The Cleveland Browns !}ave hired Tom Heckert as their general manager, luring him away from the Philadelphia Eagles. Heckert had been with the Eagles since 2001 . spending the past four seasons as GM. He helped build them into a perennial NFC power. but did not have complete control over roster decisions. the draft or free agency. In Cleveland. Heckert will have final say over the Browns' 53-man roster with input from new team president Mike Holmgren. On a conference call Monday, Holmgren said Heckert will set up the roster, but that he will work closely with his new GM on it. . "'Tom had a lot to do with the success they had in Philadelphia," said Holmgren, who touched upon a variety of Brownsrelated topics. "He has tremendous experience in the league." Heckert, 42. takes over a Cleveland team that started l-11 but won its final four games under firstyear coach Eric Mangini. Last week, Holmgren decided to retain Mangini and his staff for a second season. Holmgren went into greater detail to explain why he kept Mangini. He said he came away impressed with Cleveland's coach following two days of meetings. f.lolmgren praised Mangini for being a good listener and his willingness to be a "team player." Holmgren said it would have been unfair to fire Mangini after only one season. "The team got better as the season went along." Holmgren said. "It was rough in the beginning and tough in the middle but they finished strong." Holmgren said any thought that he brought back Mangini because he has aspirations to coach again are off base. "The idea of this being a one-year trial was not on my mind," the 61-year-old said. "We're going to be better next year. He (Eric) is a good coach. I might be a little too old to get out there and run around.'' Holmgren also expressed optimism the Browns could work out a new contract with Pro Bowl return specialist Josh Cribbs. The player and his agents said they were insulted by the team's last offer to Cribbs. who still has three years left on a six-year. $6.77 million deal. ''I'm still hopeful we can work this out," Holmgren said. "My hope is we can get this to a win-win situation. There is light at the end of the tunnel. hopefully.'' Heckert, whose father, Tom. worked as a Browns scout in the 1980s. and Seattle pro personnel director Will Lewis were the only known candidates to interview for Cleveland's GM job. Holmgren said it's possible he will speak with Lewis again and would be interested in other members of Seattle's front office, which is undergoing a massive shakeup. The Browns also announced Bryan Wiedmeier has been hired as executive vice president of business operations. He had been with the Miami Dolphins for 29 years, the last three as the club's president and chief operating officer.

SEATTLE (AP) - Pete CatToll is gone from USC and back in the NFL, taking over as coach of the Seattle Seahawks after getting an offer he could not refuse. After days of talks. the Seahawks hired the charismatic coach away from Southern California on Monday. "The university graciously approached me to stay but this choice is about pursuing the great challenges of competing in the NFL and I found this opportunity too compelling to pass up," Carroll said in a statement released by the university. Carroll was scheduled to hold a news conference at USC later Monday. He ends one of the most successful runs in college football history with a 97-19 record, two national championships and seven Pac-1 0 titles. But he also leaves with the school bracing for the findings of an NCAA investigation of the football program and coming off its worst season (9-4) since Canoll's first at USC. "The nine years at USC have been the best years of my coaching life," Carroll 'Said in the statement. The hiring of the 58-yearold Carroll caps a busy weekend for Seahawks chief executive Tod Leiweke. On Friday, the team fired coach Jim Mora following just one season and Leiweke spent Sunday completing a deal with Carroll. ''We are excited to add Pete as our coach. He brings a great passion for winning and a positive attitude that is contagious,'' Leiweke said. Next up for Leiweke is to hire a general manager. They have at least four interviews to conduct to find the general manager who will work with Carroll. Former Tennessee Titans GM Floyd Reese is scheduled to interview. along with New York Giants personnel man Marc Ross, Green Bay executive John Schneider and Omar Khan. a contract administrator with Pittsburgh. Seattle forced out general manager and president Tim Ruskell on Dec. 3. The Seahawks are expected to formally introduce Canoll at their headquarters in Renton. Wash.. on Tuesday. Canon was 6-10 in 1994 with the Jets and then 27-21 while twice reaching the playoffs from '97-99 with the Patriots. He was hired by USC in December 2000, and by 2002 - after years of mediocrity and underachievement - the Trojans were back to being one of the AP file photo In this Jan. 1, 2009 file photo, Southern California coach Pete Carroll celebrates during the third quarter of the Rose Bowl NCAA college football game against Penn State in Pasadena, Calif. Carroll has reportedly agreed to leave Southern California after nine years to return to the NFL and coach the Seattle Seahawks. ESPN cited multiple league sources Saturday saying Carroll reached an agreement with a team that went 5-11 and fired coach Jim Mora on Friday after one season. The Los Angeles Times reported Carroll also will be team president. elite teams in college football. The Seahawks are also in need of some major rebuilding, just four seasons after the team made its first and only Super Bowl appearance. Seattle went 5-11 this season. "We now turn our full attention to the hiring process for a general manager," Leiweke said . "Our intended structure is for Pete and the new GM to work in a collaborative capacity on football matters." How much control Carroll would have over football operations with the Seahawks was a key issue throughout the negotiations. Carroll's departure and the expected upheaval of the entire USC coaching staff leaves the Trojans' football program leaderless at a difficult time. The school has been under NCAA scrutiny for several years due as the organization investigates allegations former Trojans tailback Reggie Bush received improper benefits from a marketing agent. Carroll told The Los Angeles Times the looming NCAA investigation had nothing to do with his decision to leave USC. Another potential NCAA problem arose last month when USC running back Joe McKnight was forced to sit out the Emerald Bowl while the school investigated his use of an SUV that was not registered to him. McKnight. along with star wide receiver Damian Williams, declared for the NFL draft as juniors last week. With national signing day for college football recruits on Feb. 3, the timing of Carroll's move also puts USC's recruiting class in flux. USC has already sanctioned its basketball program for recruiting violations involving former player O.J. Mayo, including a ban on postseason play including the Pac-10 tour- nament this season. Mayo allegedly received improper cash and gifts while at USC and playing for former coach Tim Floyd. who quit in June. Carroll flirted with the Miami Dolphins and the Atlanta Falcons in recent years. but did not take a tplunge for a third NFL sti until the Seahawks, wi owner and Microsoft Co . tycoon Paul Allen, came calling last week. Even outside football, Carroll has become a prominent figure in Los Angeles during his tenure in the nation's second-largest media market. His charity endeavors, including his A Better LA foundation, and social work with inner city youth have earned high praise. Oregon State coach Mike Riley. a former USC assistant and one of the first names to surface as a possible candidate to replace Carroll. agreed to a threeyear contract extension Monday.

The left-bander from Cuba had never seen a major league game on television and couldn't name all the teams. He fmally settled on one that wears a distinctive "C" on its red cap, like the one he left. Cha.Qman agreed Monday to a $3025 million, six-year contract with the Cincinnati Reds, who view him as an important addition to their rotation down the road. The small-market club with limited payroll enticed him to Cincinnati, where he took a physical, signed a deal and saw snow for the first time. "When you look at the size of the market we are here in Cincinnati, we have to take some bold moves from time to time to try to improve this franchise," general manager Walt Jocketty said. "We felt this was a very significant move." Very surprising, too. Agent Randy Hendricks said eight teams were in the running to sign Chapman, who turns 22 next month. It came down to Cincinnati, Oakland and another team whom the agent wouldn't identify. Chapman defected in July at a tournament in the Netherlands, leavin~ the Cuban national team Known as international baseball's Big Red Machine because of its uniforms and its domination. He established residency in Andorra so he could choose his team as a free agent and not be subject to baseball's draft. The bard-throwing pitcher didn't see major league games on television in Cuba, so he was unfamiliar with teams and where they were located. "We took him through a Google map that showed every major league club, and we could zoom in on a state and describe the teams:· Hendricks said. Chapman gained some notoriety during the World Baseball Classic in March. when he pitched well against Australia and poorly asainst Japan. His fastball occastonally topped 100 mph, getting the attention of major league scouts. He also attended several workouts for scouts, including one in Houston that got the Reds deeply interested. Once he learned about the Reds, Chapman became interested in them. Manager Dusty Baker, pitching coach Bryan Price and catcher Ramon Hernandez speak Spanish, which will be hel~ful to Chapman, who doesn t speak English. Also. the Reds have 10 players from Latin Amenca. "In terms of the transition, we couldn't look for a better place for someone who came from Cuba to pitch," Hendricks said. He agreed to a complicated contract that helps the Reds at MeGwire Tuesday, January 12, 2010 Lewis apologizes for failing to get playoff win CINCINNATI (AP) Coach Marvin Lewis apologized for failing to get the Cincinnati Bengals a playoff win. The Bengals have gone 19 years without a playoff "ictory, dropping their latest chance on Saturday. A 24-14 loss to the New York Jets at Paul Brown Stadium put a downcast ending on a season that included numerous breakthroughs on their way to the AFC North title. Lew is has led them to both of their playoff games since 1991 - they also went in 2005 as division champs and lost at home in the opening round. "I do need to apologize that I haven't gotten us over the hump, and I haven't gotten us beyond where we've been:· Lewis said Monday at his end-of-theseason news conference. "That's my job and my focus to get us beyond that. And we'll get started on that very quickly" The Bengals went 6-0 in division games for the first time in their history, using a new philosophy on offense. Instead of letting Carson Palmer thro"' a lot. they turned to a run-first offense that worked in tandem with a stingy, young defense. Cincinnati's defense faded at the end, hampered by injuries to some of its top run defenders. but finished the regular season ranked fourth in yards allowed - their highest ranking 1983. when they finished first. Defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer's contract expires at the end of this season. Asked whether he's confident the Bengals will keep Zimmer. Lewis said, ''I'm very confident." Lewis arrived in Cincinnati before the season and has led Bengals to their only winning records since 1991. After Cincinnati's brief playoff appearance in 2005, Lewis got his contract extended two years through the 2010 season. Lewis expects to talk to owner Mike Brown about his contract at some point. "I would imagine (Brown) and r would talk," Lewis said. "I have no timeframe of when we would talk.''

Bengals the Jets - and lost all four, an indication that they're not ready to join the league's elite. "We were playing a lot better earlier." Palmer said . ··we wore down a little bit, which happens with everyone. We definitely worn down, but that's an excuse:· When the Ben reached the playoffs as North champs in 2005, they thought they were at the start of a long run of postseason appearances. They went 8-8 the next season. then slipped to 7-9 and 411-1 last season. The question now is whether this playoff appearance will be the start of something, or just another anomaly. "We're in a completely different situation personnel-\\ ise now than we were in 2005 ," Palmer said. "We have guys no'.\ that winning is important to. We have to go back to work.

"It's been in tatters since March time for me to talk about the 17, 2005, when he refused past and to confirm what to answer questions at a people have suspected." congressional hearing. Instead. he repeatedly said, "I'm not here to talk about the past" when asked whether he took illegal steroids when he hit a thenrecord 70 home runs in 1998 or at any other time. "After all this time. I want to come clean,'' he said. "I was not in a position to do that five years ago in my congressional testimony, but now I feel an obligation to discuss this and to answer questions about it. I'll do that, and then I just want to help my team:' "That was the worst 48 hours of my life," McGwire said. La Russa immediately praised McGwire's decision to go public. "His willingness to admit mistakes, express his regret, and explain the circumstances that led him to use steroids add to my respect for him:' the manager said. McGw ire disappeared from the public eye following his retirement as a player following the 2001 season. When the Cardinals hired the 47-year-old as coach on Oct. 26, they said he would address questions before spring training, and Monday's statement broke his silence. "I remember trying steroids very briefly in the 1989/1990 offseason and then after I was injured in 1993. I used steroids again,'' McGwire said in his statement. "I used them on occa- sion throughout the '90s. including during the 1998 season.'' McGwire said he took steroids to get back on the field, sounding much like the Yankees' Andy Pettitte two years ago when he admitted using HGH. ''During the mid-'90s. I went on the DL seven times and missed 228 games over five years," McGwire said. "I experienced a lot of injuries. including a ribcage strain. a torn left heel muscle, a stress fracture of the left heel. and a torn right heel muscle. It was definitely a miserable bunch of years. and I told myself that steroids could help me recover faster. I thought they would help me heal and prevent injuries. too." Since the congressional hearing. baseball owners and players toughened their drug program twice. increasing the penalty for a first steroids offense from l 0 days to 50 games in November 2005 and strengthening the power of the independent administrator in April 2008, following the publication of the Mitchell Report. "Baseball is really different now - it's been cleaned up:' McGwire said. "The commissioner and the players· association implemented testing and they cracked down, and I'm glad they did." from Page Bl getting better offensively:· coach Marvin Lewis said. "The quarterback is always going to be a fine player. We need to keep putting key pieces around him to enable him to utilize his skills as much as we can.'' The defense was the team:S strength, but it faded at the end with key players hmt. Tackle Domata Peko, end Robert Geathers and safety Chris Crocker were limited down the stretch. The defense allowed four of the last five teams to run for more than 100 yards, putting it in a tough spot. ''The games got tougher and tougher down the stretch," defensive tackle Tank Johnson said.
