(AP) - Ron Turner was fired by Illinois on Monday after three straight losmg seasons, a sharp turnaround from early success that included the team's first Bi~ Ten football title in a decade. IllinOIS went 3-8 this season and has just . one conference victory the past two years. Half of the lllini's four wins overall the past two seasons were against Division 1-AA opponents. Turner had two seasons left on his contract, which pays him $1 .1 million per year in salary am;! defern:d compensation. " I realize it's a bonom-lme business and the last couple of years we didn't win enough football games," Turner said at a news conference. "I can leave this university knowing that I ran a program with great integrity." Turner went 35-57 record with two bowl trips in ei~ht seasons at nlinois. But since a Sugar Bowl appearance in January 2002, Illinois is just 9-25, and attendance has been falling. Seven home games this season averaged 48,626 in the 69,249-seat Memorial Stadium .

Lewis calm but stern a day after his tirade Bv JoE KAY Associated Press CINCINNATI - This is a side of Marvin Lewis that his players didn't know. Angered by his team's inability to get it right for an entire game, the Cincinnati Bengals head coach erupted in the locker room following a 19-14loss to Pittsburgh. He screamed so loud that hi s voice carried through massive closed doors and walls. He poured out his tiustrations for the tirst time in a tirade that took some of his players by surprise. "I've never seen him like that," receiver Chad Johnson said. A day later, Lewis had toned down his anger but not his impatience. The secondyear coach who prefers to accentuate the positive was in no mood to look for silver linings. "They know my point," Lewis said Monday. "We've got to do better. We' re not going to settle for playing close. We can do betler and we will do better." Asked if his anger had subsided. Lewis forced a broad.smile and a chuckle to mask his feelings, then waited five full seconds before answering. "We' ll see." he said. What brought his anger to a boil? A loss that was vintage Bengals, one that effectively scuttled any hope of making the playoffs. A victory over the Steelers would have moved them back to .500; instead. they f~ll by the wayside at 4-6. The mood was grim Monday at Paul Brown Stadium. where players tiled out of meetings quietly and headed home . Lewis' harangue had hit home. "Marvin's absolutely right," said quarterback Carson Palmer. who hadn't shaved AP Cincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis talks with rookie linebacker Landon Johnson, right, during their 19-14 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday in Cincinnati. his game-day stubble. "We' re a better team than we showed. We' re a better team than 4-6." Only in spurts. And that's what has Lewis so steamed. ·The Bengals outplayed the Steelers (9-1 ) at the outset, taking a 14-10 lead into halftime. It could have been even better Pittsburgh's only touchdown came when Palmer forced a pass into triple coverage. Linebacker James Farrior saw Palmer lock onto the receiver; slid in front and returned the interception for a touchdown. . Even though Palmer is in his frrst season as a starter, he's far enough along in his development that he should have known better. "I've played I 0 games now and got the rust off and seen a lot of different coverages and a number of ~ood defenses," Pal mer said. "I'm still gomg to grow and learn, but there's no excuse for throwing an interception for six points." And there's no explanation for how the entire team melted down in the second half - seven penalties for 75 yards, only two tirst downs and 42 total yards. That's what set Lewi~ off. His players once again lost their poise with a game on the line and wound up frittering it away. It's been their hallmark since 1991 , when they started their run as the league's most forlorn franchise. They haven't had a winning record or made the playoffs during a 14-year stretch of futility that spans five head coaches (Sam Wyche, Dave Shula, Bruce Coslet, Dick LeBeau and Lewis) and !51 losses. In the past, a close loss would have been cause for optimism that things were turning around. Until Sunday, Lewis had remained upbeat even in the toughest times. All of that has changed. Lewis ls no longer in the mood to look on the bright 'side. "We lost the football game," he said Monday. "There is nothing that I'm satisfied about We lost."

Wis. - A Hmong immigrant suspected of killing six fellow deer hunters in the Wisconsin woods told investigators that he opened fire after they took a shot at him first and hurled racial slurs at him, according to court papers filed Tuesday. A judge set bail at $2.5 mil· lion for Chai Yang. 36. of St. Paul, Minn., who was jailed on suspicion of murder and attempted murder. The shootings occurred Sunday after Yang climbed into a tree stand on private property and got into a confrontation with the landowner and members of his hunting party. On Monday, authorities gave an account in which they made no mention of any of the victims taking the first shot. Instead, they said that after the other hunters told the trespasser to get out of the tree. Yang walked off. then wheeled and opened fire.

He Sl!id that he looked up the trail, saw that one of the men was standing, yelled, "You're not dead yet?" and fired one more shot in the man's direction. He said he did not know if he hit the man or not. Yang said he then ran away. Authorities have said there was only one gun among the eight hunters. There have been previous clashes between Southeast Asian and white hunters in the region. Hunters have'' complained the Hmong do not understand the concept of private property and hunt wherever they want. The ten· sion once led to a fistfight in Minnesota, and a Hmong bow hunter in Wisconsin this fall reported having at least two white hunters point guns at him. About 24,000 Hmong live in St. Paul, the highest concentration of any U.S. city. H111ong leaders condemned the shootings and offered condolences to victims' families. "What happened in Wisconsin is in no way representative of the Hmong people and what they stand for," said Cha Yang, no relation to the suspect. A Hmong leader tn Wisconsin has advised Hmong hunters to skip the rest of the gun deer season because of the tensions . The season runs through Sunday. "We don't know who will be thinking what. I just think it would be best to ' let people cool off," Joe Bee Xiong. directoroftheEauClaireArea Hmong Mutual Assistance Association, told the Eau Claire Leader-Telegram. New details about Vang began to emerge Tuesday. Military records obtained by The Associated Press show that he spent six years in the California National Guard, and earned a sharpshooter qualification badge. But his primary role during his time in the Guard, from 1989 to 1995, involved clerical duties. After his discharge, he spent two more years in the Individual Ready Reserve. Dov Schwartz, an Army spokesman in Washington, said the sharpshooter qualification was "not an extraordinarily special thing." Yang has no criminal record with the Minnesota Bureau of · Criminal Apprehension. Police in St. Paul said there had been two domestic violence calls to his home in the past year, but both were resolved without incident. Associated Press writers Ashley. H.

I cannot recall even one occasion when he disclosed anything having to do with his work for the spy agency. That's hecaus.e he took his secrecy oath seriously. Nowadays, the culture is quite different at Langley. If inquiring minds want to find out what's going on inside the CIA, they need only consult the front page of The Washington Post or The New York Times. They need only visit the bookstore. That's hecause the CIA has hecome politicized. That's hecause far too many of the agency's officers and analysts have lost sight of their duty to, "support the President. the National Security Council. and all officials who make and execute the U.S. national security policy." Porter Goss. whom President Bush recently appointed to head the CIA. reminded the agency's employees of their duty in an internal memorandum this week. "We do not 1dentif~ with, support or champion opposition to the ad ministration or its polictes." he wrote. Of course. the memo was leaked to both the Post and the Times by some CIA diss tdent or another. The aim was to ponray Goss as some sort of administration hack. tas ked by Bush with getting CIA personnel to color their vrews to tit the president's. But that's a false insinuation against Goss. The spy chief issued a simple, reasonable Joseph Perkins dictate. "We provide the intelligence as we see it." he wrote. "and let the facts alone speak to the policy-maker." That has not been the case for much of the past two years as an unspoken anti-BLJsh insurgency has reared itself at the CIA. TI1e CIA insurgents have gone out of thetr way to undenmine Bush, to cast aspersions upon h1s policies. They pulled out all stops in an effort to deny the Republican a second term in the White House. Indeed, in July of lasl year, Joseph Wilson. husband of Valerie Plame, now known to he a CIA analyst, touched off a tli·estorm alter authoring a commentary in The New York Times contradiCting Bush's statement thm there \¥US evidence Iraq had tried 10 buy uranium from an Afncan country. Wilson disclosed that he had heen dispatched to Niger by the CIA to ascertain whether Iraq actually attempted such a purchase. In h1s Times article. Wilson said the rumors were unfounded. that Bush's "conclusion was not borne out by the facts as I understood 4hem."

Hunters flock to woods for bucks-only gun season NEW HAVEN. W.Va. (APJ -Weather may have played a factor in deer kill turnouts for the first day of bucks-only gun season. as game-c hecking station officials had mixed reports so far. '"I'm very pleased with what I' m seeing so far." said state Division of Natural Resources deer project ~ader Jim Crum. who spent Monday 's buck-season opener at a station in New Haven. measuring hunters' kills and checking the deer for diseases and parasites. ""I"m impressed with the number. size and antler de\"elopment of the deer we· ve seen so far. .. Clerks at the Double AA Roundup convenience store in Elkins reported checking more deer this year than last year. "We're seeing some pretty decent deer... said owner Libby Armentrout. "Most of the bucks have forked horns. at least. There aren "t many spikes."" About 30 deer were registered at Miletus Market in Doddridge Coumy by early Monday evening. "Our busiest time is later in the evening about 7 p.m .. but it seems like it's up a little from last year," said owner Louise Morris. Monday 's cool, cloudy weather was better for hunting than the rain. sleet and high winds during last year's opening-day. Crum said. DNR officials have esti mated that more than 300.000 hunters would take to the wilderness Monday in search of a trophy buck. and have predicted an improvement froni last year's total of 73,128 for the 12-day season. However. warm and wet weather in some parts of the Mountain state may have put a damper on Monday's hunt. Cindy Foster. owner of the Dragon Iylart in Cameron, reported I 00 deer that were checked in at her >tore . which she said was fewer than in the past. "The weather ha sn't been real great," said Foster. "It"s warm. · it's raining land) hunters want cold" weather.

ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER KIEV, Ukraine- Outgoing President Leonid Kuchma called for negotiations in Ukraine 's spiraling political crisis Tuesday, hours after the leader of the opposition declared himself the winner of a disputed presidential election to the approval of tens of thousands of protesters. Another top opposition figure accepted Kuchma's proposal even though she had declared earlier on a third day of high tensions that negotiations were unthinkable. "We now have decided to give the possibility to Kuchma to form proposals for talks," Yuliya Tymoshenko said, according to the lnterfax news agency. It was not immediately clear when talks might take place. The proposal for negotiations between the candidates - Kuchma-supported Prime Minister Yiktor Yanukovych and the Western-leaning reformer Yiktor Yushchenko was out of character for the pre,ident, who is not known for comprom1smg. But neither side held a clear advantage, and both had much to lose if vio)ence ·should break out. Earlier in the day. Yushchenko threatened a campmgn of civil disobedience to back the opposition's charge that authorities rigged Sunday's vote m favor of Yanukovych. "Ukraine is on the threshold of a civil conflict," Yushchenko told lawmakers gathered for an emergency session. "We have two choices: Either the answer will be given by the parliameni. or the streets will give an answer.·· The Bush administration urged the Ukrainian government not to certify results from Sunday's runoff ele<:tion that showed Yanukovych edging Yushchenko. ''The United States IS deeply concerned by extcn- sivc anu nedible indications of fraud committed in the Ukrainian presidential election." White House spokeswoman Claire Buchan said. But Russian President Vladimir Putin, who supported Yanukovych in the campaign. criticized Western assessments of · the vote as tlawed. stressing that the results were not yet official. On a state visit to Portugal. he called for calm and respect for the law in this former Soviet republic. As snow fell Tuesday night. more than 10.000 Yushchenko supporters marched to the presiuential administration building. skirting some heavy trucks that blocked the street and facing off with hundreds of police in riot gear guarding the building. After a few hours. many demonstrators headed home, while some went ba<:k to a tent city set up on Kiev's main avenue anu Independence Square. where they pledged to stay until Yushchenku ts ueclared president. A core group remained outside the administration building, apparently as part of a deal worked out tn negotiations between Tymoshenko and security forces. Kucht,na's statement, which was read on slllte television, referred to the demonstrations as a ''political farce" that is "extremely dangerous and may lead to unforeseeable consequences." Although the harsh description seemed to indicate Kuchma was not inclined to take the opposition's position seriou sly, he nonetheless called for all politi<:al factions to enter into talks. "We should peacefully and with consideration discuss the complicated situation and propose to society real steps for getting out of the crisis,'' the statement said. "I am <:onvinceu today that this is the only route in the search for a balanced position on not allowing Ukraine to split into pieces," it added: The election commission's announcement that Yanukovych led Yushchenko galvanized anger among many of Ukraine's 48 million people. Official results, with more than 99.48 percent of precintts counted, put Yanukovych ahead with 49.39 percent of the votes to his challenger's 46.71 percent. But several e.xit polls indicated Yushchenko was the winner. Western observers criticized the election as widely tlawed by multiple voting and apparently intlated turnout figures in Yanukovych's stronghold eastern districts. In Washington, four diplomats at Ukraine's embassy signed a declaration accusing their government of subverting the will of the people by favoring Yanukovych. "We cannot quietly look away as Ukraine's future is burieu along with the future of our children," read the statement, signed by counselor Oleksandr Y. Shcherba, Second .Secretary Yuriy B. Parkhomenko. counselor Oleksandr Y. Potiekhin and counselor Yolodymyr M. Chumak. Russia, meanwhile. lashed out at the United States for what it called ''unprecedented interference" 111 domestic affairs after U.S. officials allegedly took Moscow to task for recognizing Yanukovych 's victory. Demonstrations have been peaceful so far, but fears ran high they could deteriorate into violence - either out of the protesters' f~ustration or attacks by Yanukovych supporters. Tens of thousands of Yushchenko supporters cheered their candidate outside parliament during the special session Tuesday, wav- . ing orange flags and chanting "Criminals go away!" With many of the 'prime minister's backers absent, the session did not muster a quorum and concluded without taking action on a measure to nullify the election. AP MEDICAL WRITER '. LONDON The women's rights movement and the AIDS movement must come together if the world is to ultimately win the fight against HIV, the United Nations said in a report released Tuesday. Women and girls in the developing world are increasingly becoming its main victims, but current safe-sex prevention strategies are of little use to the millions who don't have the power to say no to sex or to insist on condom use. The inequality women face - from poveny and stunted education, to rape and denial of women's inheritance and propeny rights - is a major obstacle to victory over the virus, according to the latest global HIV status reporT published by UNAIDS. The core of HIV prevention is advice to abstain from sex until marriage, be faithful and to use condoms. "The prevention strategies now in place are missing the point when it comes to women and girls," Dr. Kathleen Cravero, deputy chief of UN AIDS told a news conference. "We are finding in most regions of the world, they simply do not have the economic and soda! power or choices, or control over their lives to put that information into practice." AIDS prevention strategies need to address the factors that will give women control over their lives, the reporT said. "Moving to a situation where every woman gets to keep her house, her land and her furniture when her partner dies is not beyond the realm of possibility,'' Cravero said. "It doesn't even require turning society on its head. It requires getting the right laws there and making them enforceable for women." AIDS has to be the catalyst for women's rights in the developing world, UNAIDS chief Dr. Peter Piot told The Associated Press . "There was reason enough before A'IDS , but now the link between the whole gender inequality and death has never been so direct as with AIDS," Piot said. "If AIDS is not enough to shift the agenda for women. then what is enough?" "It 's time now for the wom~n·s mo~emcnt and the AIDS movement. to find each other, and that hasn't hap. pened yet," Piot sai d. ·'I.Jltimately, without putting women at the hearT of the response to AIDS, I don't think we will be able to control this epidemic." Violence agains.t women is a worldwide scourge, but it is feeding the HIV epidemics in the developing world, where women and girls often don't have the power to say no to sex or to insist on condom use. For millions of women. sex is their only currency. "The fact that the balance of power in many relationships is tilted in favor of men can have life-or-death implications,'' concluded the reporT by UNAIDS. "These factors are not easily dislodged or altered. but until they are, efforts to contain and reverse the AIDS epidemic are unlikely to achieve sustained success." Near! y 50 percent of the 39.4 million people infected with HIV worldwide are women. In regions where the epidemic has been raging for years. more women are infected than men, and in countries where epidemics are just beginning, new infections among women outnumber those among men and the gap continues to widen. East Asia experienced the sharpest increase in the number of women infected with HIV in the past two years 56 percent. Eastern Europe and Central Asia come next. with infections among women rising 48 percent in the past two years. In . the Caribbean. which is the second-worst l)it area of the world after sub-Saharan Africa, young women are twice as likely as men their age to become infected. Part of the reason for the rapid increase is that it is physically easier for women to get HIV through intercourse than it is for men to get it from women. However, more women than men are n,ow getting the disease also because the virus has escaped the confines of brothels. Twelve years ago, about 90 percent of HIY tran,mission in Thailand occurred between prostitutes and their clients. But now, about half of all infections are occurring in the wives bf men who vi sit prostitutes. In many parts of the world. stressing marriage anu longterm monogamous relationships doesn't protect women from AIDS becau se they are unable to control whether they have sex. The approach - favored by the American anti-AIDS package - also could backfire in areas where being married actually increases the risk of contract ing HIV, re,earch has founu . One ; tudy conducted in several areas of Kenya and. Zamhia found that among teenage girls. HIY infection levels were 10 percent higher for marri ~ d girls than for those who were 'exually .,4 ~· t 0l ~ t ..t •i .... ~ Shop Middleport "The ehristmas Village" .... ~ li ~.

BY JUSTIN POPE AP STATEHOUSE CORRESPONDENT COLUMBUS -A health care company's memo to pharmacies criticizing a new prescription drug discount plan delayed the plan's introduction until January. backers of the proposal said Tuesday. · The problem arose when MemberHealth of suburban -Cleveland sent a memo to pharmacies last month saying a miscalculation could hurt a second discount program administered by MemberHealth. · At issue is Ohio's Best Rx . a discount plan for seniors and the poor that was created by a coalition of drug makers and unions. . MemberHealth, which was an unsuccessful bidder for the Best Rx contract, oversees the Golden Buckeye Card's discount for senior citizens. Although the two cards overlap, Golden Buckeye is geared toward seniors, while Best Rx targets the poor and those with no insurance, as well as seniors. In an Oct. II memo. MemberHealth CEO Chuck Hallberg said Best Rx would not provide pharmacies with a proper ·reimbursement for the discounts offered under the Best Rx card. That would hurt pharmacies, while making the Best Rx card more attractive to consumers than the Golden Buckeye Card, Hallberg said. A mess·age was left seeking comment. The argument is that Best Rxwould underprice the Golden Buckeye Card, said Barry Katz, chief operating officer of Envision Pharmaceutical S,ervices, w,hich will l'l.ln Ohio's Best Rx. The October letter drew a sharp response from Bill Burga, head of the AFL-CIO in Ohio, and the Pharmaceutical Manufacturers of America.

I cause of death in the United States contained statistical errors and may have overstated tbe problem, health officials acknowl.edged TuesdU¥. · The government is working .on a rare correction to the .study. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in March in a study co' authored by its director, Dr. .Julie Gerberding, that a poor diet and physical inactivity were responsible for 400,000 deaths in 2000, a 33 percent jump from 1990. However, the CDC admitted Tuesday that it made an error in calculating how many people died from obesity in the last decade. Although CDC officials declined to specify the corrected number of deaths, The Wall Street Journal reported that the agency may have overstated the number by 80,000, representing an increase of less than I0 percent from 1990 to 2000. The ertors were first reported by the Journal on 1\Jesday. The mistakes consisted of simple mathematical errors, such as including total deaths from the wrong year, the new~paper reported. "I think there were some statistical miscalculations, but I also think there is a differing of opinions in regards to methodologies to make these calculations,'' CDC spokesman Tom Skinner said. "This is certainly not scientific misconduct; there's no allegation anyone had , any intent ·to falsify data." Skinner said the CDC plans to submit a correction to the Journal of the American Medical Association, which published the study in March. He said the correction will • , explain how the error was made. ' The agency also has asked the Institute of Medicine, a federal scientific advisory organization, to hold a twoday workshop next month to reach a consensus on the proper way to calculate the health effects of obesity, Skinner said. In addition, the agency is reviewing how to prevent Hmiscommunication" among scientists when subjecting studies to expert review before they are published. The errors apparently were discovered soon after the CDC study was published, as scientists inside and outside the agency began to dispute its findings , publishing letters in JAMA and the journal Science. Rep. Henry Waxman , D-Calif., also asked the General Accounting Office, the auditing arm of Congress, to investigate. That prompted the CDC to begin an internal review. The agency originally announced that more Americans could soon be dying of obesity instead of smoking if current trends persisted. It put the number of obesity deaths at 400,000, compared with 435,000 from tobacco. But even when the errors are corrected, Skinner said, "it's not going to change the fact that obesity is the second leading cause of preventable death." for Pell Grants." If old numbers are used in the tables. he said, aid won't reach those who need it mo". Terry Hartle, 'enior vice president of the American Council on Education, which re'presents universities, commended the Republican administration and Congress for at least maintaining the maximum Pell Grant in the face of increasing demand . But he called the decision to allow the deduction change "disappointing." "The biggest impact will be on low-income students hoping to go to college." Hartle said .

It's pan of the digestive tract and helps move waste products out of yoar body. Divenicular disease develops when parts of the wall of the colon weaken and start to give way. That causes little pouches or pockets · to protrude out through the wall. These pouclies are known as · diverticula. and according to the National Digestive Disease Information Clearing House, .about half of all Americans older ihan 60 have them. The presence of diverticula is called diverticulosis and does not in and of itself cause any symptoms.

When you saw your doctor, she probably asked you about bowel habits, symptoms, pain, diet and medication s. She may have also conducted a digital rectal exam to check for tenderness, blockage or blood. Other common tests would include checking the stool for signs of bleeding, blood tests to look for signs of infection, and X-ray studies. You were wise to consult your doctor promptly when you first started to have symptoms. That' s probably one of the reasons you. recovered in just a week. Most cases of diverticulitis are like yours - relatively mild and responsive to antibiotics alone. ,Sometimes, hqwever. \ a liquid diet and some lime in bed to "rest the colon" are also required. . . Hospitalization is necessary in severe cases. For instance, if there is a total blockage of the colon, a massivc infection, or a perforation of the intestinal wall, immediate surgery would be necessary. After an acute episode has been successfully treated',there may still be the need in · a few cases for non-emergency surgery to reduce the chances of recurrence . This preventive surgery involves removmg the part of th ~ intestine where the diverticula are present. Most doctors today believe that low-fiber diets are the main cause of diveniculitis. The disease was first noticed in the United States in the early 1900's, when proce.sed foods were introduced. These foods tend to be low in fiber. To prevent diverticulitis, eat lots of high-fiber foods. A high-fiber diet will also make you le ss ·, prone to experience other digestive problems. So eat plenty of foods such as whole-grain breads , beans, peas, fruits and vegetables. Also, you may be able to lower your risk of diverticulitis by drinking plenty or fluids and not putting off bowel movements when you feel the urge to go.

"We did very well, there." Ogden said. "We W~lll 4 and I' which allowed us to win the conference." Ogden believed that was the first time in seven years that that particular feat had been accomplished. Dublin Scioto's overall mark was 11-3-4. It has been a meteoric rise for Ogden and his team, two years ago, prior to his arrival the team struggled to a 2-14 season. Last year, saw immediate improvement with the Scioto team posting a 5-9-3 BY MARK WIWAMS Special to the Tribune RIO GRANDE Former University of Rio Grande standout soccer player Man Ogden made plenty of news on the soccer 8itch for the Redmen in the late 199 's. He is now making his mark as a coach in the Columbus area. Ogden. in his only second season. was named Coach of the Year in the Ohio Capital Conference as the girl's coach for Dublin Scioto High School. He was also named Central District Coach of the Year. His team spo rted a 4-1 mark in the mark. Ogden shared what he learned from Rio Grande Head Coach Scott Morri ssey . and assistant Tony Daniel s, whom he played for while wearing the Redmen uniform. ''Just a lot about being a coach." he said. " It's a kind of reflection of how you are as a person and a player." "There ·is a lot ol commitment involved, j ust like there is on the field, you've got to put your time in ju st like the girls do," Ogden added. "Being down at Rio, you had the two personalities, you've got the commitment of Tony and the leadership of Scoll , being more of a calm character." "You just pick up bits and pieces , what works, what doesn't work and I try to incorporate that into the way I coach." "There are a lot of benefits, a lot of positives you try and take," Ogden said. "A lot of the things you learn from a coach, you try and now pass on to your players, obviously from Scott and Tony, one of main things is commitment and character and dedication to the game." The native of Preston, Eng land was Co-Player of the Year in the American Mideast Conference as a junior in 1998 in helping lead the Redmen to a regular season conference crown with 17 -4-1 overall record and an 8-1 mark in league play. Ogden scored 23 goals and had one assist (47 points) that season. A year later, he was even better, leading the conference in scoring with 33 ~oats as well as tallying seven ass1sts (73 points) in running away with the player of the year award. The Redmen finished 13-6-1 in 1999 and was runner-up in the AMC with a 9-1-1 record. Ogden played a key role in laying the foundation for o ne of the juggernauts of NAIA soccer. He is now trying to accomplish the same feat · on the sidelines. He's off to a great start. • Cincinnati's two point guards looking good Mil~s goes the·distance BY JOE KAY Associated Press C INCINNATI The buzzer summoned subs ti tu tes off the Cincinnati Bearcats bench, the cue for point guard Jihad Muhammad to leave the floor a nd take a seat after his debut. He walked off to a standing ovation. " It was wonderftil ," sa id Muhammad. who transferred from San Jacinto Juni Gr Co llege in Texas. "''ve got to keep doing that so they ca n keep screaming for me.'' After years of trying to find one dependable point guard, th e Bearcats find themselves with two. Muhammad brought the crowd to its feet during a season-opening 8870 victory Friday over Valparaiso , making slic k passes and hitting long 3-pointers. He drew the loudest ovatio n for a behind-the-back, no-look pass to James White for a fastbreak dunk in the closing minutes. Muhammad scored 17 points in 34 minutes. with one assist and three turnovers - a sign he's st ill learning the Bearcat offe nse. He showcased his quickness by dribbli ng past defenders and pulled up for long 3-pointers - he was 3-of8 from be hind the arc- when they gave him room. It was easy to see why he was ranked one of the top points guards in junior college last season. " He's got a big heart and he makes shot s," coac h Bob TM Hu gg in s said . "H is rep utati on is he's not afraid to take big shots." While Muhammad showed hi s stuff for the first time, j unior ·point guard Chadd Moore showed what he ca n do now th at hi s creaky back is feel ing better. Moore. who was hobbled last seaso n by back pain, repeatedly drove to the basket for bank shots, sco ring e ight points overall. He also had six assists and only one turnover. The Bearcats struggled mightily in so me areas - they got outrebounded and gave up open shotsbut point guard wasn't one of them. And that alon e was noteworthy. " It' s a big difference," said White. who had 10 points. "We have tw o true point guards out there who ca n make plays at any time . When stuff breaks down , those two guys can penetrate and dish or sco re ." It's been a long time si nce the Bearca ts had two players at the most important position . Las t seaso n. Hu ggins moved s hootin~ guard Nick Williams to the pomt, where he stru ggled. Moore 's back was balky, slowing him down or keeping him on the sideline. Huggins ended up letting his forwards handle the ball on the perimeter, which bogged down the offense. The shortco ming was hi ghli ghted in the Bearcats' seco nd-round NCAA tournament game. lllinois point guard Dee Brown - a player Huggins recruited in hi gh sc hool took.Ci ncinn ati's defe nse apart in a 92-6~ drubbing. · Getting a . point guard like Muhammad was a priority, and it 's apparent why. Although he's still learning how the offense works, he was able to give it the sizzle missing last season, when the lack of a true point guard forced a plodding attack. Muhammad is ex trao rdinarily quick with the ball, pushing it up the floor before defenses can get set. The Bearcats ran much more often in th e opener, with good results. Valparai so forward Ron Howard saw~ Muhammad play in junior college and was impressed with how much he has improved. ''What makes. him even betier aow ·is hi s hesitation move, hi s crossover dribble," Howard said. "You' ve got to give him space and if he gets space, he shoots the 3 real well. You've j ust got to try to stay in front of him.' as Herd beats ETSU HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) Joe Miles was in high school gym class last year when East Tennessee State's flashy Tim Smith made a name for himself in the NCAA Tournament. The Marshall freshman, however, didn't show signs of intimidation in the Thundering Herd's 8(). 76 win over East Tennessee State Tuesday. Miles didn 't· have time to be nervous, ~ause his defensive assignment was lluarding Smith -- the 5foot-9 pOint guard that Sports Illustrated dubbed the "Fastest Man in Basketball." Smith did his dama~e for East Tennessee State by sconng a careerhigh 35 points on 11-of-30 shooting, but it was Miles who got the best of him in the beginning and the end. "I think you saw What everyone has been talking about," Marshall coach Ron Jirsa said. "(Smith) scored every which way. I thought Joe was very good and the difference might be that we had some quickness aQainst Tim Smith, who is very good.'" Miles, who fini shed with 12 fX>ints, contributed to Smith getting m early foul trouble and snatched a key steal from Smith with 40 seconds to play to seal Marshall's win. Still, 1t wasn't a perfect game for Miles. The freshman was called for a technical foul with a minute to play after trying to call a timeout that the Thundering Herd didn 't have. Smith connected on both free ·throws for East Tennessee · State to cut Marshall's lead to 74-71. . But Miles made up for the mistake by delivering an asstst underdmibleteam pressure to Mark Patton with 40 seconds to play, pushing Marshall ahead 76-71. Miles then stole the ball from Smith on the other end of the court to help secure Marshall's win. "We kind of stuck to what our game plan was, keeping Smith out of the middle," said Marshall's Enoch Bunch. "We were going to step in front and make him pass back out to the perimeter. We'd rather the other guards beat us. He is as quick as advertised." A 3-point halftime lead by Marshall (1-1 ) quickJy turned into a 59-40 douple-digit advantage as .the Thundering Herd outscored the Buccaneers 24-5 over a seven minute span in which A.W. Hami lton scored 10 points. "We were just way too inefficient on the offensive end," East Tennessee State coach Murry Bartow said. "They made a great run to start the second half.

Spurrier took over at South Carolina on Tuesday, signing a seven-year deal worth $1.25 million a season that could grow to more than $2 million with incentives. He pledged to turn the Gamecocks into the consistent champion he built for 12 seasons at Florida. But the ol' ball coach comes back following a dose of humility, after going 12-20 in two pitiful seasons as the Washington Redskins coach in 2002 and 2003. "Maybe I was a little arrogant. Maybe I ran my mouth more than I should," Spurrier said. "Human nature comes down and causes you maybe to feel you've got more answers than you really do when you've got a real good team . "So hopefully, I've learned some humility and great respect for all coaches." he said. Is this the same man who quipped you can't spell the Citrus Bowl without UT (Tennessee)? Or called Florida State, "Free Shoes University?" Or recounted how a Gator receiver told him it was nice of Gamecocks fans to wear all black- it was a "Black Out Florida" effort - so they could easily see the football in a 56-17 rout at Williams-Brice Stadium three se.asons ago? "When they sec what he can do on the field, people will be happy with him." said South Carolina assistant David Reaves, the son of Spurrier's former a"istant at Florida, John Reaves. The 59-year-old Spurrier, who replaces Lou Holtz. led the Gators to six Southeastern Conference titles and the 1996 national championship. He seemingly could lmve stayed in Gaiitesvillc. Fla.. forever. but abruptly resigned in 200 I and began a disastrous stint with the Redskins. Spurrier left the NFL after last season and then waited for the right college job to open. "You could see he was getting anxious:· said his wife. Jerri . There was a strong push from some Florida followers for Spurrier to return to his old position at The Swamp after coach Ron Zook was fired. But Spurrier pulled out of the run ning and said again Tuesday that 12 years in the same Lllliversity was enough . Whell' Holtz told athletic director Mike McGee he planned to rc'ign.

Spurrier said the school's focus on him was appealing, unlike at Flonda, where he would have had to go through the mtervtew process. "Dr. McGee said. 'I'm going to exhaust my search with you before I go to the next guy,"' · Spurrier said. "He didn't have to go to the next guy." Spurrier met with his new team and found them eager and ready to push forward. "We 've got everything here," Spurrier said. " I'd like to borrow a phrase from the Boston Red Sox: Why not us? Why not the University of South Carolina Gamecocks?" Perhaps becau se the 67-year-old Holtz is the only coach to win more than one bowl game in Ill seasons of South Carolina football. The Gamecocks' lone championship came in 1969 as members of the Atlantic Coast Conference. But quarterback Ingle Martin said not to sell Spurrier short. Martin was a Spurrier recruit at Florida who transferred to Division 1-AA Furman after the coach left for Washington. "!wouldn't bet against him if he had both hands tied behind his back at his execution," Martin said. If Spurrier wants win the SEC at South Carolina, he' ll have to get past his former team, which was 10-0 against the Gamecocks while Spurrier was the Florida coach. Those games figured to be tough on Spurrier. who said he is not looking forward to his first match up with his alma mater, next Nov. 12 at Williams-Brice Stadium. Spurrier went 20-13-1 in three seasons at Duke before taking over at Florida in 1990. He posted 122 victories over 12 seasons, tormented opponents with his offensive flair and witty one-liners. and departed with the best winning percentage in league history. The executive committee of the school trustees approved the deal for Spurrier. Incentives include 5250.000 for winning the Bowl Championship Series, $100,000 for becoming national coach of the year and $150,000 for winning the Southeastern Conference championship game. The comract has a $250,000 a year buyout clause for both sides. Should Spurrier retire and not take another job. he owes the university nothing.

Andrews July 10, 1961-May 5, 1980 May God's angels guide you and protect you throughout time. ' CLEVELAND The Cleveland Cavaliers are confident that the brawl that took place in Deiroit will not be repeated in their arena. Citing security measures that exceed the NBA's minimum requireme~ts, Mark Starnes, chief executive officer of the Cavaliers and Gund Arena, said Tuesday that he's comfortable with the level of safety they provide fans and players. · Th~ league' s security requirements dictate the number of guards stationed on the floor, their location and how they dress, but the team and the league would not reveal specifics . Stornes did provide some examples of the Cavaliers' extra measures. He said they require secu rity guards located near the floor to wear police-like uniforms. unlike some arenas. They also exceed guard requirement s at fan and player entrances. Starnes said he doesn't feel the need to make any changes in light of the brawl, but h, expects the league will make recommen· . d atmns. NBA commissioner David Stern has said that sec urity will be re-evaluated in all arenas . He has not commented about whether there was a lack of security in Detroit.' "The actions at Friday's game, though unprecedented. must now be factored into all efforts to guarantee the well-being of our fans and players and. all in our buildings," he ,aid. . Stern added, however, that no amount of sec urity can stop a riot. "Everyone knows that if 20,000 fans . decided to go on a rampage we'd have a se riou ' problem on our hands, 'no matter 1.1hat we did ," he said. r Indiana Pacers forward Ron Artest has been suspended for the season for touching off Friday's brawl by storming into the stands after being hit by a cup thrown by a fan. Artest noted Tuesday on NBC's "Today" show that he previously was struck by a coin hurled from the crowd in Cleveland during an April 2003 game. Artest responded by extending both middle fingers and waving them at the crowd. He \\'US fined $20,0QO by the league. . "We could never verify his claim and I' m sure the NBA didn't file any report," .Stornes said. "Our position is we can't verify that it did or didn't happen." Cleveland's sports venues have had their share of ugly behavior: -Three years ago. an overturned call in the final minutes of a Browns game against· Jacksonville led to fans littering the field with thousands of plastic beer bottles. The Browns no longer sell beer in bottles. - In 1975 , Cavaliers player Dwight Davi s went into the stands at the Coliseum to confront a fan who heckled him . The two exchanged heated words but no punches were thrown . -In 1974, thousands of drunk Indian s fans rushed the field, turning a " 10-cent Beer Night" promotion into a night of vialence · that left players, spec tators· and umpire s bloodied. The Indian s have n't sold beer that cheap ever since. The Cavaliers currently have a radio commercia! stating that they want 20,562 noisy fans to fill the arena for every game. But they want that to be the extent of fan involvement. · · "The team wants them to come and cheer and have a great time and be a home-court advantage. That's the joy of sports,'' Stornes said. "Just don ' t cross the line." BY NICOLE FIELDS NFIELOSOMYDAILYREGlSTER .COM .

"They'll be lit .Friday, but we'll. add more up until Christmas," Deweese said. Deweese also said the park continues to receive lights and displays on a daily basis, adding that they received multiple strings of lights earlier this week. Matt Blankenship. a city worker who ·has been helping install the lights, said city officials have been eager to see more animated lights and displays in this year's show. He said they are work· ing on getting those properly installed. Charles Humphreys, Point Pleasant Maln Street director, said this year's show will be much different than those of the past four years. "It's going to be real sharp this year," Humphreys said. "The whole community really likes the light show, and it's doing a lot for the city and county."

Hi s dismissal seemed imminent, with reports saying owner Randy Lerner had contempl ated firi ng him Sunday night follow ing the club's I0-7 l o~s to the New York Jets. Lerner has been increasingly upset with the team's record and the Brown s' slide into last · place in the AFC North. In response to the speculati on, th e team issued a statement Tuesday say ing it was not planning any changes. 'The Cleveland Browns organization is acutely aware of our fans · passion and share in !heir destrc for a championship team.

"We reiterate. that we arc keepin g our organi7alion intact in order to fo•u.s m1r efforts toward winn ing our remaining football ga mes ."

Now comes the real test of whether Lewis will turn out to be as advertised - a fmnchise shaper -· or just the latest addition to the litany of failed Bengals um•hes. It all comes down to expectations. There were virtu all y none when he arrived in Cincinnati. waving his 2()()..diamond Super Aowl ring from Baltimore as proof he could get things done.
