"Probably the·biggest bang for the buck is doing a better job of managing what you have and controlling grazing," he said. While feed costs are reduced - and the byproduct provides natural fertilizer- farmers also see less wear and tear on equipment. "They're starting to realize if they use equipment half as much, it lasts twice as long,"Vollborn said. "The debt issue is very imponant right now." . "Pitiful thi!lg is, they buy and pay interest on equipment and they never gq out of debt," Evans added. · The end result is a better herd catching higher offers on the beef market, Evans said.

(AP)- Gov.-elect Bob Wise is addressing constituent services, not expanding government, by creating three regional coordinator jobs, transition team director David Satterfield said Friday. The regional coordinators - which initially were to be called economic development coordinators-- will serve as facilitators for constituents' problems in southern, northern and eastern West Virginia, he said. Logan County Commissioner Art Kirkendoll has been named southern coordinator and Hancock Counry Commissioner Danny Greathouse northern coordinator. A •imilar job m the Eastern Panhandle could be announced as early as next week, Satterfield said. Economic development projects will be handled primarily through the state's Development Office, Satterfield said. "The original tide of the · new jobs was going to be economic developer; now it's specia! assi.stant to 'the governor. But the nature of the job will still be helping communities plan for growth and deal with needs in their regions," Satterfield said. Kirkendoll will be · paid $53,000, Greathouse $50,000. The salaries were negotiable, Satterfield said. Though it appears Wise is adding jobs, Sat- terfield insists the governor-elect il trying achieve the "right balance" in his executive office. "We have a personnel budget of approximately $7 million to work with," Satterfield said. "When all administration jobs are filled, we will not have exceeded that budget." · The new positions expand on constituent services jobs ., in Gov. Cecil Underwood's administration, Satterfield said. Underwood has four constituent services case workers at the Capitol and two mobile offices that also deal witp constituent interests, said Underwood spokesman Dan Page.

(AP)- Gov.-elect Bob Wise is addressing constituent services, not expanding government, by creating three regional coordinator jobs, transition team director David Satterfield said Friday. The regional coordinators - which initially were to be called economic development coordinators-- will serve as facilitators for constituents' problems in southern, northern and eastern West Virginia, he said. Logan County Commissioner Art Kirkendoll has been named southern coordinator and Hancock Counry Commissioner Danny Greathouse northern coordinator. A •imilar job m the Eastern Panhandle could be announced as early as next week, Satterfield said. Economic development projects will be handled primarily through the state's Development Office, Satterfield said. "The original tide of the · new jobs was going to be economic developer; now it's specia! assi.stant to 'the governor. But the nature of the job will still be helping communities plan for growth and deal with needs in their regions," Satterfield said. Kirkendoll will be · paid $53,000, Greathouse $50,000. The salaries were negotiable, Satterfield said. Though it appears Wise is adding jobs, Sat- terfield insists the governor-elect il trying achieve the "right balance" in his executive office. "We have a personnel budget of approximately $7 million to work with," Satterfield said. "When all administration jobs are filled, we will not have exceeded that budget." · The new positions expand on constituent services jobs ., in Gov. Cecil Underwood's administration, Satterfield said. Underwood has four constituent services case workers at the Capitol and two mobile offices that also deal witp constituent interests, said Underwood spokesman Dan Page.

The coal wastes escaped through a crack in the bottom of the 70-acre pond and rushed in torrents off the mountainside, leaving layers as deep as 10 feet on residential property along Coldwater.

Reagan, 89, was "fully alert, in good humor and in stable condition" after being rushed by ambulance to St. John's Health Center on Friday, his spokeswoman Joanne Drake said. Reagan suffered "a simple fall" at his Bel-Air home and probably would need to have a .pin installed in his hip, she said. His wife, Nancy, was at his side. A nursing supervisor said the Reagan family had asked the hospital not to comment. Drake said that Reagan's children were notified, including eldest daughter Maureen, who has been undergoing cancer treatments for melanoma at the same hospital since Dec. 11. Reagan disclosed in November 1994 in a passionate letter to the American people that he had Alzheimer's disease and had begun the journey "into the sunset of my life." The two-term president faded from the public . eye a sho~ttime later and has rarely bee seen outside his home. . · He discontinued going to his Century City office in 1999 bui still made trips to parks and enjoyed sti'Qils on the Venice Beach boardwalk wich hi s Secret Service contingent.

Reagan, 89, was "fully alert, in good humor and in stable condition" after being rushed by ambulance to St. John's Health Center on Friday, his spokeswoman Joanne Drake said. Reagan suffered "a simple fall" at his Bel-Air home and probably would need to have a .pin installed in his hip, she said. His wife, Nancy, was at his side. A nursing supervisor said the Reagan family had asked the hospital not to comment. Drake said that Reagan's children were notified, including eldest daughter Maureen, who has been undergoing cancer treatments for melanoma at the same hospital since Dec. 11. Reagan disclosed in November 1994 in a passionate letter to the American people that he had Alzheimer's disease and had begun the journey "into the sunset of my life." The two-term president faded from the public . eye a sho~ttime later and has rarely bee seen outside his home. . · He discontinued going to his Century City office in 1999 bui still made trips to parks and enjoyed sti'Qils on the Venice Beach boardwalk wich hi s Secret Service contingent.

Half of patients need • cane or walker, and 40 percent go from hospital to a nursing home. At 69, Reagan was the oldest man ever elected president when he was chosen on Nov. 4, 1980, by an unexpectedly large margin over incumbent Democrat Jimmy' Ca~:ter. • His public image was o ne of rugged . good heal1th. He chopped wood and rode horses during his visits to his former Santa Barbara County ranch. iOn March 30, 1981 , Reagan was leaving a Washington hotel after addressing labor leaders when a young drifter, John' Hinckley, fired six gunshots a\ him. A bullet lodged an inch' from Reagan's heart, but he recovere\i fully. • He was re-elected in 1984 by an even greater margin, carrying · 49 states in defeating Democrat Walter Mondale.

"When I did it, it was almost like a handshake," Bruce said Friday from his home in Florida. He said the first contract he signed after Hayes was fired following the 1978 Gator Bowl was a standard agreement similar to that signed by many university employees . It lasted just on$ year, as did most of Bruce's contracts until the threeyear deal he signed before he was fired with one game to go in the 1987 season. In comparison, the contract signed in 1999 by recently fired coach John Cooper is 10 pages long,' covering everything from salary to incentives to responsibili- biggest programs.

Mountaineers grab coaches with state ties MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) The way Rick Trickett sees it, there 's a reason why several of new coach Rich Rodriguez's assistants are from West Virginia. . "You spend the first half of your life trying to get away from home - and the second half trying to get back home," said Trickett, West Virginia University's new offensive line coach. ' At a time when the so-called Hillbilly Highway co'ntinues to lure residents to better jobs elsewhere, the draw of the state's university was a nobrainer for Trickett, one of Rodriguez's first hires at West VirgJma. Trickett, who was born in Morgantown, recendy flew on a WVU-provided jet from his former job at Louisiana State University to begin his new one. Once in West Virginia, he remembered leaning against the plane's window. "I looked down and I said; 'you ,..... : know, there's just something about them hills. I don't know what it is. I can't p.ut a finger on it. But there's just something· .about them hills that you want to be back,"' he ·said. The same hills produced Rodriguez, who coached in the West Virginia Conference at Glenville and· 1 left the state in 1997 to pursue success in Division I-A football. . Now that Rodriguez is back, the Grant Town native has brought with him a variery of experience, We~t Vir. ginia know-how, two former WVIAC comrades, and some who have never :seen the state before. In a place where residents are proud of their native sons, the talk in the board rooms: the health clubs and cor• · ner bars is this new mix just might work. ·, "They say, 'why do these coaches always hire somebody they know?' Well, it~ because of the loyalty and the trusting," Rodriguez said. "·Every MOUNTAIN STATE ROOTS - New West VIrginia head coach Rich Rodriguez stands In the Puskar Center overlooking a snow-covered Mountaineer Field. Rodriguez, and several of his new assistants, are natives of West Vlrglnia. (AP) member of our staff wants to be here and wants to put the best products on the field, and we'll be accessible to the fans. I say, let's make this place . umque ." Especially glad to be back are Paden City's Jeff Casteel, a former defensive assistant at Texas-El Paso; Ne,v Martinsville's Bill Stewart; and former WVU defensive back David Lockwood. Stewart and Lockwood were on Nehlen's staff in 2000. "Rich is srilart enough to hire people who absolutely ' bleed blue and gold," Stewart said. "When . you're from here, maybe it means more. You go the extra mile when it's your home. It's just like being ·in a war. When they're coming into your home, you fight a little bit tougher." If Rodriguez who says his offense will be £1r different from that of Nehlen's - ' is stealing anything from his predecessor, it's his hiring process. Nehlen had four WestVirginia natives on his staff. Trickett, who was Glenville State's head coach in 1999, has been' an assistant coach at 10 different schools. He was at WVU previously - , even before Nehlen arrived 21 years ago. Trickett served on both the offensive and defensive lines under Frank Cignetti from 1976 to' 1979. "I was single 20-some years ago. Footloose and fancy free," Trickett said. "Now I have three sons and a wife, and I'm looking for stabiliry in the business, and that's hard to find." Stewart had left the stale in the early 1980s for several college jobs and later a stint in the Canadian football League. "When I was a kid, my daddy said Akron, Ohio, was the capital ofWest Virginia. Everybody went to the tire and rubber plants when he was a little boy," Stewart said. "When I was growing .up, it was northern Virginia. Now I hear it's Charlotte, North Carolina. But I tell you, my capital is still in Charleston." Casteel was Shepherd's defensive coordinator in the I 990s when the Rams won six WVIAC championships. Rodriguez still remembers him as one of the best defensive coaches he's faced. New WVU tigl)t ends coach Herb Hand was a former assistant at Glenville State and Concord. "Hopefully this gives hope to the guys in the West Virginia Conference that, hey, you're , not getting locked into this place," Rodriguez said. "You keep working hard, do a good job, people will notice you. "People are shocked to see I'm running the same system . I ran at Glenville State 10 years ago. It's just not very many people who knew about it." New defensive coordinator Phil Elmassian, who has no state ties, is ' familiar with Morgantown. Elmassian, who worked with Trickett at LSU last year, played against WVU when he attended William & Mary ' ' He also was a Syracuse assistant in 1992. He was in the coach'l box when quarterback Marvin Graves retaliated on a WVU player after a late hit out of bounds. Graves threw the football off the player's head. Soon helmets were fly- ing everywhere. . "If there were guns in the stands, someone would have been shot," ' Elmassian said. He did learn something that day about Mountaineer Field. "The fans, with their enthusiasm, made it as difficult as any place to play in the Big East," he said. ,,jj . 461 . S. Third Ave. of athletic programs, Owens said. Bruce and Ohio State spokesman Steve Snapp said not every detail of a contract has to be worked out for the Buckeyes to announce who the new coach will be. But Bruce said any coach will want a framework that covers such details as salary, incentives and the length. "It always takes a lot of work on the . details," Snapp said. i Bruce said the next coach could learn plenty. from looking at Cooper's last contract. "The greatest negotiator is John Cooper," he said. "If they just follow his lead they'll do fine." I · PITTSBURGH (AP) - Pitvccrtc("Walt Harris must be wondering how many times ; he must say no.. For the third time since former Ohio State coach John Cooper was f1red Jan. 2, Harris has denied any interest in becoming the Buckeyes' coach. One week after Pittsburgh athletic director Steve Pederson denied Ohio State permissiqn to talk to him, Harris issued Yet another statement Friday saying he is happy in his present job and isn't looking to,move. "I want to make my intentions clear regarding my future a.t the University of Pittsburgh," Harris said in his latest statement. "I have no interest in the Ohio State job or any other job. I have a long-term commitment at the University of Pittsburgh and I intend to fulfill that commitment. "['have always planned to finish my coaching career with the Pantl:iers and that plan has not changed." Harris' remarks did not address why he thought the rumors persisted even after he was barred jan. 5 from talking with Ohio State athletic director Andy Geiger. "I want to thank the players, coaches, staff, university community, ou, fans and the city of Pittsburgh for the loyalty and support they have shown our program:' Harris said in the statement, issued by the school. "I believe s'trongly in what we are doing and how we are doing it and I want to see this through." Harris might have issued the remarks out of concern the persistent rumors linking him to Ohio State were adversely affecting his recruiting. Several top western Pennsylvania prospects said this week they were concerned about speculation Harris still might wind up at Ohio State. Some of Pitt's potential recruits will make campus visits Saturday, when the Panthers play Seton Hall in a Big East basketball game. · Harris' reference to never taking another coaching job was the first time he has used such strong language regarding his long-term status at Pitt, even though he is signed through the 2006 season.

"When I did it, it was almost like a handshake," Bruce said Friday from his home in Florida. He said the first contract he signed after Hayes was fired following the 1978 Gator Bowl was a standard agreement similar to that signed by many university employees . It lasted just on$ year, as did most of Bruce's contracts until the threeyear deal he signed before he was fired with one game to go in the 1987 season. In comparison, the contract signed in 1999 by recently fired coach John Cooper is 10 pages long,' covering everything from salary to incentives to responsibili- biggest programs.

Mountaineers grab coaches with state ties MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) The way Rick Trickett sees it, there 's a reason why several of new coach Rich Rodriguez's assistants are from West Virginia. . "You spend the first half of your life trying to get away from home - and the second half trying to get back home," said Trickett, West Virginia University's new offensive line coach. ' At a time when the so-called Hillbilly Highway co'ntinues to lure residents to better jobs elsewhere, the draw of the state's university was a nobrainer for Trickett, one of Rodriguez's first hires at West VirgJma. Trickett, who was born in Morgantown, recendy flew on a WVU-provided jet from his former job at Louisiana State University to begin his new one. Once in West Virginia, he remembered leaning against the plane's window. "I looked down and I said; 'you ,..... : know, there's just something about them hills. I don't know what it is. I can't p.ut a finger on it. But there's just something· .about them hills that you want to be back,"' he ·said. The same hills produced Rodriguez, who coached in the West Virginia Conference at Glenville and· 1 left the state in 1997 to pursue success in Division I-A football. . Now that Rodriguez is back, the Grant Town native has brought with him a variery of experience, We~t Vir. ginia know-how, two former WVIAC comrades, and some who have never :seen the state before. In a place where residents are proud of their native sons, the talk in the board rooms: the health clubs and cor• · ner bars is this new mix just might work. ·, "They say, 'why do these coaches always hire somebody they know?' Well, it~ because of the loyalty and the trusting," Rodriguez said. "·Every MOUNTAIN STATE ROOTS - New West VIrginia head coach Rich Rodriguez stands In the Puskar Center overlooking a snow-covered Mountaineer Field. Rodriguez, and several of his new assistants, are natives of West Vlrglnia. (AP) member of our staff wants to be here and wants to put the best products on the field, and we'll be accessible to the fans. I say, let's make this place . umque ." Especially glad to be back are Paden City's Jeff Casteel, a former defensive assistant at Texas-El Paso; Ne,v Martinsville's Bill Stewart; and former WVU defensive back David Lockwood. Stewart and Lockwood were on Nehlen's staff in 2000. "Rich is srilart enough to hire people who absolutely ' bleed blue and gold," Stewart said. "When . you're from here, maybe it means more. You go the extra mile when it's your home. It's just like being ·in a war. When they're coming into your home, you fight a little bit tougher." If Rodriguez who says his offense will be £1r different from that of Nehlen's - ' is stealing anything from his predecessor, it's his hiring process. Nehlen had four WestVirginia natives on his staff. Trickett, who was Glenville State's head coach in 1999, has been' an assistant coach at 10 different schools. He was at WVU previously - , even before Nehlen arrived 21 years ago. Trickett served on both the offensive and defensive lines under Frank Cignetti from 1976 to' 1979. "I was single 20-some years ago. Footloose and fancy free," Trickett said. "Now I have three sons and a wife, and I'm looking for stabiliry in the business, and that's hard to find." Stewart had left the stale in the early 1980s for several college jobs and later a stint in the Canadian football League. "When I was a kid, my daddy said Akron, Ohio, was the capital ofWest Virginia. Everybody went to the tire and rubber plants when he was a little boy," Stewart said. "When I was growing .up, it was northern Virginia. Now I hear it's Charlotte, North Carolina. But I tell you, my capital is still in Charleston." Casteel was Shepherd's defensive coordinator in the I 990s when the Rams won six WVIAC championships. Rodriguez still remembers him as one of the best defensive coaches he's faced. New WVU tigl)t ends coach Herb Hand was a former assistant at Glenville State and Concord. "Hopefully this gives hope to the guys in the West Virginia Conference that, hey, you're , not getting locked into this place," Rodriguez said. "You keep working hard, do a good job, people will notice you. "People are shocked to see I'm running the same system . I ran at Glenville State 10 years ago. It's just not very many people who knew about it." New defensive coordinator Phil Elmassian, who has no state ties, is ' familiar with Morgantown. Elmassian, who worked with Trickett at LSU last year, played against WVU when he attended William & Mary ' ' He also was a Syracuse assistant in 1992. He was in the coach'l box when quarterback Marvin Graves retaliated on a WVU player after a late hit out of bounds. Graves threw the football off the player's head. Soon helmets were fly- ing everywhere. . "If there were guns in the stands, someone would have been shot," ' Elmassian said. He did learn something that day about Mountaineer Field. "The fans, with their enthusiasm, made it as difficult as any place to play in the Big East," he said. ,,jj . 461 . S. Third Ave. of athletic programs, Owens said. Bruce and Ohio State spokesman Steve Snapp said not every detail of a contract has to be worked out for the Buckeyes to announce who the new coach will be. But Bruce said any coach will want a framework that covers such details as salary, incentives and the length. "It always takes a lot of work on the . details," Snapp said. i Bruce said the next coach could learn plenty. from looking at Cooper's last contract. "The greatest negotiator is John Cooper," he said. "If they just follow his lead they'll do fine." I · PITTSBURGH (AP) - Pitvccrtc("Walt Harris must be wondering how many times ; he must say no.. For the third time since former Ohio State coach John Cooper was f1red Jan. 2, Harris has denied any interest in becoming the Buckeyes' coach. One week after Pittsburgh athletic director Steve Pederson denied Ohio State permissiqn to talk to him, Harris issued Yet another statement Friday saying he is happy in his present job and isn't looking to,move. "I want to make my intentions clear regarding my future a.t the University of Pittsburgh," Harris said in his latest statement. "I have no interest in the Ohio State job or any other job. I have a long-term commitment at the University of Pittsburgh and I intend to fulfill that commitment. "['have always planned to finish my coaching career with the Pantl:iers and that plan has not changed." Harris' remarks did not address why he thought the rumors persisted even after he was barred jan. 5 from talking with Ohio State athletic director Andy Geiger. "I want to thank the players, coaches, staff, university community, ou, fans and the city of Pittsburgh for the loyalty and support they have shown our program:' Harris said in the statement, issued by the school. "I believe s'trongly in what we are doing and how we are doing it and I want to see this through." Harris might have issued the remarks out of concern the persistent rumors linking him to Ohio State were adversely affecting his recruiting. Several top western Pennsylvania prospects said this week they were concerned about speculation Harris still might wind up at Ohio State. Some of Pitt's potential recruits will make campus visits Saturday, when the Panthers play Seton Hall in a Big East basketball game. · Harris' reference to never taking another coaching job was the first time he has used such strong language regarding his long-term status at Pitt, even though he is signed through the 2006 season.

If I forget fourth in the NFL in passing and about where I cam~ from, I'm bound to regret it." Culpepper fortunately hhs not suffered such off-field woes. The toughest football situation for him came last season, when he sat and watched. But that seems so long ago, considering what Culpepper did this season. "He has a great mind for the game, great physical tools, the ambition," Green said. "He's the best quarterback in the NFC right now. That's a pretty good start." For Culpepper, having Carter, Randy Moss and Robert Smith on his side has made his task infi. nitely easier. Collins doesn't have such an array surrounding him, altli.ough running back Tiki barber and wideout Amani Toomer had their best' seasons. One advantage he does have over Culpepper is a superior defense on his side. Another is having been through all this before.. "I'm glad that four years ago, I was in this position," Collins said.

"Sooner or later it was probably going to happen that Carl and I would be back together again and initiate a new crusade. Every time -·ve done it, we've been successful." The Super Bowl-winning coach teared. up twice while discussing how Peterson, the ChiefS president, and vice president of football operations . Lynn Stiles talked him out of a comfortable retirement. Vermeil abrupdy quit ;u coach of the St. Louis Rams after leading them td last year's NFL title. "The fact I changed my mind was based solely upon my personal relationship with Car! · Peterson and Lynn Stiles," said Vermeil, whose NFL regularseason record is 76-73 . "I'm an emotional guy. Let me. teU you - Lynn Stiles ha's been so important in .my career. There is no person more responsible for my iuccess as he is.

Peterson and Stiles, who worked· wilh Vermeil as coaches at UCLA more than 25 years Philadelphi2 Eagles' 1981 Super Bowl team, also reminded Vermeil of what he was. "What I an'!. is a coach. That's what I am. That may be a fault. But that's where I feel best,'' he said. The Chiefs, who haven't been in the playoffS in three years and haven't won a playofF game since 1993, gave the 64-yea.r-old Vermeil a three-year, $10 million contract that makes him one of the NFL's highest-paid coaches.

"If I had known when I retired a year ago that I would ' ask Paul Tagliabue, to allow me to come back a year later, I would have never left," Vermeil said.

After all, this is the city where ·a river caught tire and dorky native son Drew Carey became a big TV star. But they~re having trouble 'laughing off the current state of profeuional sports here. A rash of serious injuries to key players over the past two years crippled all three of Cleveland's major sports teanu,Jeaving them with little chance to end the city's world championship drought dating to 1964. "Anybody know an exorcist?" Cavaliers coach Randy Wittman asked. · "There's some demons around here." Sonie think the town's cursed. To make matters worse for Clevelanders, the man many consider the devil himself, Art Modell, is one win away from the Super Bowl. . Modell will never be forgiven for moving the beloved Browns to Baltimore. And if the Ravens win the AFC championship on Sunday in Oakland, Cleveland fans will .tak~ it to heart. They aiways do. · "Generally, life here is pretty good. pretty tranquil," said Terry Pluto, a sports columnist for the Akron Beacon-Journal whose book "The Cune of Rocky Colavito" chronicled the Indians' yean of misfortune. "It's our teams. It's a calamity a day." Sure, Cleveland rocks. But when it roDs, it's usually on an ankle. The curse might be' behind it all - bad teams, bad trades, bad coaches, bad luck. From Indians pitcher Herb S<;ore getting hit in the eye by 11 line drive in the 1950s to massiVe Browns offensive tackle Orlando Brown being felled by a 3-ounce referee's penalty flag in 1999, Cleveland knows what it means tO take one on the chin. "About the only thing people around .here understand i$ how to read MR!s and injury rq>orts," Pluto said. "We're. masten at that." Injuries are just a part of it.

Shanks summarized his own thinking in a reteni BAR article about Jerpsalem. The Holy City is Exhibit A when minimalists attack Topic A, the existence of David an4 Solomon. Though Jerusalem has been heavily excavated; archaeologists have yet to turn up any significant remains from the kings' era of the ~Oth century B.C. It's possiple nobody ever will. Let's take the big picture, says Shanks. We have ~od archaeological evidence for the cifY~ existence before 1550 B.C. and after 586 B.C. but little in between. If we rigidly follow archaeological remains alone, we'd conclude that Jerusalem was mostly abandoned without humaq habitation for nearly 1,000 years. Is that plausible, or does archa~ology often fail to "tell the whole story"? Shanks argues for the second option because the 1,000-year vacuum "simply makes no sense." Pui aside the Bible text as evidence for the moment, he writes, and consider geography. Jerusalem enjoyed steep valleys on three sides that allowed ready defense, abundant year-round water and adjacent fertile farmlands, and a site .' along the. only route through centra! Canaan. . For _those reasons,Jerusalem was in fact inhabited both before and after the missing 1,000 years, as archaeology proves.

Shanks summarized his own thinking in a reteni BAR article about Jerpsalem. The Holy City is Exhibit A when minimalists attack Topic A, the existence of David an4 Solomon. Though Jerusalem has been heavily excavated; archaeologists have yet to turn up any significant remains from the kings' era of the ~Oth century B.C. It's possiple nobody ever will. Let's take the big picture, says Shanks. We have ~od archaeological evidence for the cifY~ existence before 1550 B.C. and after 586 B.C. but little in between. If we rigidly follow archaeological remains alone, we'd conclude that Jerusalem was mostly abandoned without humaq habitation for nearly 1,000 years. Is that plausible, or does archa~ology often fail to "tell the whole story"? Shanks argues for the second option because the 1,000-year vacuum "simply makes no sense." Pui aside the Bible text as evidence for the moment, he writes, and consider geography. Jerusalem enjoyed steep valleys on three sides that allowed ready defense, abundant year-round water and adjacent fertile farmlands, and a site .' along the. only route through centra! Canaan. . For _those reasons,Jerusalem was in fact inhabited both before and after the missing 1,000 years, as archaeology proves. We have no remain! in Jerusalen from the 14th century B.C. but we know it existed because by luck there are references · in diplomatic correspondence 1from the Egyptian pharaohs. Qne major piece of evidence has a disputed .date but undoubtedly falls during the silent 1,000 years, probably just priot to David and Solomon. It's a massive· PIHH - Venlsh. ,._.

Also included is a 750room hotel and Downtown Disney, a prome,nade of stores, restaurants and nightclubs. "It was planned to enhance, not compete with the Disneyland experience," says Barry Braverman, Walt Disney lmagineering .e xecutive producer for the new park. But with the presence of the two parks, Disney hopes to turn its Southern California operation into a resort experience similar to its Florida parks.

Just five years after its introduction , the Georgia Green is the dominant variety grown i·n the region. But Branch has no rime to rest ' ' 0 make peanut butter, candy and · roasted nuts. Georgia Green resists tomatO' spotted wilt virus , a disease that r became a serious threat to theSoutheastern peanut crop in th6 early 1990s.

Because it takes 10 to 20 years to develop a new variety of most crops, plant breeders have to look far into the future, anticipating the needs of farmers, manufacturers and consumers. "You build on what you've got,'' said Branch, who has been breeding peanuts for more than 20 years. "You're constandy aware of new problems and potential problems.

LOUISVILLE, Ky.- Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corp. is reintrod~cing the once dominant Pall Mall brand of cigarettes, adding a filter, a few modern touches and a discount price. The nation's third-largest tobacco manufacturer on Thursday introduced the new Pall Malls as the centerpiece of its campaign to reverse B&W's declining share of the U.S. market in xecent yean. B&W. the maker ofKOOL and Lucky Strike, has seen its market shaie fall to about 12 percent liom 15 percent since 1998, when major tobacco makers signed a $206 billion settlement with the states. "We intend to fight, and fight eft'ectively. for our share of this market;' said Susan lvey, who took over as the new Year began as .Brown & Williamson's president and chief executive officer. . Brown & Williamson is dipping into a rich piece of tobacco histoJY to uy to rejuvenate sales despite he~ competition from tobacco giants Philip Morris Cos. and RJ. Reynolds Tobacco Holdings Inc. Pall-Mall was inttoduced in 1899 by Butler & ButlerTobaeco·Co. in New York. In 1907, American .Thbacco purchased Butler & Butler and acquired the Pall Mall brand. . Pall Mall 'became the first kingsize cigarette in 1939.lts popularity peaked in the 1960s, when it ·was. the nation's top-selling brand :&om 1960 to 1966, capturing :nearly 15 petcent of the market in •1964. • Its success waned as filtered cig: arettes gained in popularity. Brown ":& Williamson acquired American • . . Tobacco and the Pall Mall brand in 1994. Last year, the traditional non-filtexed brand claimed about 0.7 percent of the U.S. market, best among non-filtered brands, B&W said. B&W executives trumpeted the new Pall Malls as a premium, slower burning cigarette, offering smokers more puffi at a discount price. · . Tobacco analysts gave B&W points for initiative, but said the company faced obstacles in pitching remade Pall Malls in a highly competitive indwuy hamstrung by marketing constnints. "The only way for them to survive in the long run is to stabilize their premium brand portfolio, and this will be part of their effort:' said Bill Pecoriello of the investment 6nn of Sanford C. Bernstein. Pecoriello said that trying to jump-start a dormant premium brand makes sense for B&W. but repositioning any brand is difficult, especially in today's eilvironment which limits marketing by cigarette makers. "It's probably the right strategy, but it's going to rake av;hile;• Pecoriello said. · David Adelman, a tobacco analyst with Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, said B&W~ biggest obstacle is fierce brand loyalty among smokers. One advantage in this instance is price, he said, as Brown & Williamson tries to lure another generation of smokers to Pall Malls. Filtered Pall Malls will carry a 515.89 per carton wholesale price, the same as B&W's GPC discount brand, Wessel said. The price paid by smokers will vary, however, depending on excise wres and retail markups. 7 No rest for.man who·developed ·disease-resistant peanut BYEwonMrASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER J'IFTON, Ga. -:-:- Bill Branch developed a peanut· that helped Southeastern farmers overcome three yean of drought and a viruJent plant disease.

"Mike takes a long-term strategic view and tries to find companies that he thinks will be long-term buys.And I take a shortterm tactical view using a quantitative model that tries to determine. when it's a good time to get in and out of companies:• One reason Gipson gives for the fund's good performance centers around the model he uses - it looks at what the market is valuing now. "At the start · of last year, the model kept us out of large-cap stocks like Microsoft. Intel and Texas Instruments. And at that time, the stocks that we.e doing well were smaller companies with earnings, growth and good pric~ appreciation. Now the model is favoring companies with solid earnings and capital. So fundamental factors are more important.". His suggestion to the reader who entered the tech market in June 2000 is the same as what he'd have for his private account clients."We advise something like 15 to 20 percent be in technology and the rest in something more conservative."

William Keithler has been the fund's portfolio manager since 1999. "What the markets have been saying for a.while is that the economy is slowing and it's sl~ng pretty dramatically:• says Keithler. "We saw quite a bit of that slowdown reflected in technology stocks. But stotl\! tend ·to move in advance of what's happening. Much like the recession in 1991. We saw stocks actually reflect that · in 1990 and bottom before we were even swe we were in a recession.'• ..... With the Federal Reserve's lowering of interest P,tes, on Jan. ·3, Keithler thinks the wont is behind us.

"He .1~ basically seerr· as ·. ~: agent of social change but we · don't understand· his spiritual side," Ford said. It has been 18 years since then-President Ronald , Reagan signed the bill creating a national holiday to honor King. Before the first national observance of the day in 1986, King's widow, Caretta .Scott King, suggested that Americans fly the flag on the holiday, try to heal a relationship or ask for forgiveness for wrongdoing. Last year, Dexter .Scott King, King's son, urged Americans to honor his father by doing something to serve others. "Nothing would have frustrated Dr. King more than people sitting at home. watching TV, sleeping· late or shopping on the day designed to honor him," he said.
