' ' ' LOS ANGELES (AP) - AQ equipment problem suspected in the ·crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261 cropped up on at least five other .:Jetliners this week during inspections. The MD-80 and MD-90 aircraft were found with unusual metal 1" 'sha~ngs in or around a control mechanism in their tail -wings, Nanonal Transportation Safety Board officials said Friday. The same equipment in the doomed plane was found in a similar condition. The latest cases, involving one Alaska Airlines and two Delta Air Lines jets, were uncovered Friday during inspections ordered by the Feder:il Aviation Administration. Two Alaska Airlines jets were grounded earlier for the same reason, -prompting the FAA's action. ' Officials have not determined whether the damaged horizontal stabilizer assembly found in Flight 261 's wreckage caused the crash or was a result of the crash's impact. But pilots had reported tJ:Ouble with the stabilizer, which helps keep a plane flying level, before Flight 261 pluquneted into the Pacific Ocean on Jan. 31, killing all 88 people aboard. FAA officials declined ·to comment on the NTSB's ann~unce­ ment. 1 ' We have initial, unconfirmed reports that .we . ne~d to verifY · before we release any information:' said Paul Takemoto, an agency · spokesman. · . _The FAA's inspection order affects about 1,200 planes, including MD-80s, MD-90s, Boeing 717~ and DC-9s. The first part of the inspections must be completed by Monday, but the FAA is giving' . aitlin~ 30 days to perform a more detailed check. ·· Qni(..l~t«<\ twr. (IJ stahler@fuse.net Ch1rtM W.

Social Security earnings limit is popular among Democnts and R epublicans.. It also ·appeals to the key elderly constituency, one of the main voter battlegrounds as the two parties wrestle for control of the House in this year's elections. President Clinton has spoken frequerttly abo.u t the need to eliminate the earnings ·limit, but White House spokesman Joe Lock- . hart said the president would not endorse a "piecemeal" approach to Social Security, which faces insolvency as the baby boom generation retires. "We're ..not going to have a debate about itto win $1 million on a game show? · ·· ".You •have to answer every single question," he said~ "The questions might be easy within their category, but there is such a broad range, it is abnost impossible for anybody on a regular basis to be able to go thJ:Ough all the questions in any given stack."

"It's much easier to play the game sitting in ·an easy chair ~t home than sitting across from Regis in the studio," said Doug Van Gundy, a West Virginia man who won $250,000. The multiple-choice questions are frequendy easy in the early rounds. They get harder as the stakes grow higher. Goshawk's policy required it to pay prizes of $500,000 or $1 million.

' ' ' LOS ANGELES (AP) - AQ equipment problem suspected in the ·crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261 cropped up on at least five other .:Jetliners this week during inspections. The MD-80 and MD-90 aircraft were found with unusual metal 1" 'sha~ngs in or around a control mechanism in their tail -wings, Nanonal Transportation Safety Board officials said Friday. The same equipment in the doomed plane was found in a similar condition. The latest cases, involving one Alaska Airlines and two Delta Air Lines jets, were uncovered Friday during inspections ordered by the Feder:il Aviation Administration. Two Alaska Airlines jets were grounded earlier for the same reason, -prompting the FAA's action. ' Officials have not determined whether the damaged horizontal stabilizer assembly found in Flight 261 's wreckage caused the crash or was a result of the crash's impact. But pilots had reported tJ:Ouble with the stabilizer, which helps keep a plane flying level, before Flight 261 pluquneted into the Pacific Ocean on Jan. 31, killing all 88 people aboard. FAA officials declined ·to comment on the NTSB's ann~unce­ ment. 1 ' We have initial, unconfirmed reports that .we . ne~d to verifY · before we release any information:' said Paul Takemoto, an agency · spokesman. · . _The FAA's inspection order affects about 1,200 planes, including MD-80s, MD-90s, Boeing 717~ and DC-9s. The first part of the inspections must be completed by Monday, but the FAA is giving' . aitlin~ 30 days to perform a more detailed check. ·· Qni(..l~t«<\ twr. (IJ stahler@fuse.net Ch1rtM W.

I understand the issue of what they can afford today, but when the stadium comes in and generates all this interest and revenue, is there anything for the player who is generating the money? 1 am assuming there's clauses in the contract that account for that." The final terms of the deal have not yet been confirmed by the commissioner's office and the players' association, so details of any clauses are not yet known.

The final terms of the deal have not yet been confirmed by the commissioner's office and the players' association, so details of any clauses are not yet known.

Quite frankly, I lack the disc.ipUne required to do ~y job -:- or any j(lb - from · my hom~. · . Before you ,t hink 1, am shiftless or ·lazy, let me usure you I re~lly am not. Really! I'm not! In fact, "house work" in· the traditional sense doesn't · bother me. My friends· can attest to the fact I am more than a little obses•ive-compulsive when it comes to my house - I am a neat freak. Runt:~ing the vacuum, dusting, doing the dishes, washing laundry ... none of these tasks is a problem for me. But doing my JOB at home? Not likely to happen, regardless of how · much we advance in terms of technology, and regardless of how popular and easy it becomes. Because no matter how many computers and fax lines and other gadgets can be installed in my spare bedroom,. to aUow me to gather and write news from home, I would have a really hard time doing it. OK ... it W!luldn't get done, and I Would be unemployed. · I have: tried to picture this scenario, ·and I see a haze of daytime television, junk .fo!>d and naps. join me just for fun, ·won1t you, in a typical but hypothetical Workday for Brian J. "HomeBased Reporter'~ Reed: · 10:30 a.m. - Rise,[refreshed al)d · motivated for a hard day's work as an at-home news writer. Pull on T-shirt and blue jeans from last night. (Gee, I · love working at home!) 10:40 a.nt. - Light cigarette. Call boss at newspaper office. Lie outrageously: "Yup, it's almost done!" 10:45 a.m.- Pour coffee. Find remote control. Try to remember what exactly is "due." 11 a.m. - "The. Price is Right." 12 p.m. - Local TV news (well ... you gotta know what the competition is doing.) 12:30 p.m. - Contemplate lunch ... 0 K, brunch. . · 12:45 p.m: - Return from drivethrough window. Eat lunch. Watch ·"M<trtha Stewart Living,'' for .inspiration on how to work at home. 1 p.m. - Make the first news call of the day. Con~act is at lunch. . 1:10 Fall asleep in front of uDays." 3 p.m. - Awaken. Brush teeth. 3:30 p.m. - Mail's· here! Chat with mailman ·a bout the weather. Wave to neighbor. Flip through , · Newsweek (call it "research") and CD club package. Feed cat . 3:45 . p.m. -Walk around the corner to the convenience 'store for Diet Coke, Zero bar and cigarettes. Talk to clerk about last night's village council · meeting. Read newspaper froi'n the . counter. PaniC. 4 -Turn on computer. 5:45 P·lrl· - Leave Internet chat room . . 1 6 p.m.-....,. Shower. Start dinner. · 6:15 p.m ... .OK, you get the point. Now, some of my co-workers might argue this could very well be a sum·mary of most of my days at the office, but 'my point here is, I need'. . the structure that only an office and a supervisor can. provide. · If you can't work on a deadline,. you can't be a newspaper reporter, and I have no problem with deadlines . - as long as someone is watching me . I also' like the social contacts of an · : office. If I worked at home, who would I rehuh "Will& Grace" with every We4nesday morning? So you work-at-homes can eojoy your autonomy.

For the year, earnings were $241.1 million, or $1.52 per share, down 82 percent compared with $682.3 miUion, or $4.31 per share, for 1998. '"We are comfortable with current analysts' estimat~s for 2000 earnlngs' of approximately $3 per sha~e from operattons,'" Goodyear Chairman Sarnir Gibara said at a meeting Wednesday with industry analysts in New York. '"Our plants are running, as we speak, at near fuU capacity worldwide." J.P. Morgan analyst David Bradley in New York said he agrees Goodyear is rebounding. "The company has had a very tough year," Bradley said. '"I think Goodyear is bottoining. out, and that earnings won't get worse and probably will improve, albeit not as fast as a lot of analysts are eXpecting." Goodyear shares on the New York Stock . ) Exchange dosed Wednesday at $22.75, up 681, cents. Goodyear earnings were hurt hy higher raw material costs and ongoing weak economic condi.t ions outside ofNorthAmerica.The margin in the North American tire market was reported at 0.3 percent in 1999, compared with 6.1 percent in 1998. : Sales in the fourth quarter were nearly $3.6 billion, up from $3.2 billion in the year-ago period. For the year, sales wereabout $12.9 billion, up from $12.6 billion in 1998.

Gibara said staffing reduc~ tions made last year should help Goodyear's profitability this year. Goodyear took a charge of $171.6 million . against earnings Jor various costs linked largely to 1999 employment reductions and plant clos' ings, but that was mostly offset by gains in the . third quarter . of. $166.7 rniUion relating tp Goodyear's Dunlop deal and sale of some assets. .

AKRON (AP)- Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. is expec~ng · improved profits this year, rebounding from a downturn in earnings for the fourth quarter and 1999, the company chairman said. · · Goodyear earned $40.8 million, or 26 cents per share, for the quarter ended Dec. 31, down 83 percent from $121.5 million, or 78 cents per share, for the same period a year ago. For the year, earnings were $241.1 million, or $1.52 per share, down 82 percent compared with $682.3 miUion, or $4.31 per share, for 1998. '"We are comfortable with current analysts' estimat~s for 2000 earnlngs' of approximately $3 per sha~e from operattons,'" Goodyear Chairman Sarnir Gibara said at a meeting Wednesday with industry analysts in New York. '"Our plants are running, as we speak, at near fuU capacity worldwide." J.P. Morgan analyst David Bradley in New York said he agrees Goodyear is rebounding. "The company has had a very tough year," Bradley said. '"I think Goodyear is bottoining. out, and that earnings won't get worse and probably will improve, albeit not as fast as a lot of analysts are eXpecting." Goodyear shares on the New York Stock . ) Exchange dosed Wednesday at $22.75, up 681, cents. Goodyear earnings were hurt hy higher raw material costs and ongoing weak economic condi.t ions outside ofNorthAmerica.The margin in the North American tire market was reported at 0.3 percent in 1999, compared with 6.1 percent in 1998. : Sales in the fourth quarter were nearly $3.6 billion, up from $3.2 billion in the year-ago period. For the year, sales wereabout $12.9 billion, up from $12.6 billion in 1998. Gibara said he expects sales will increase by close to 20 percent this year, with market share anticipated to grow from 20 percent in 1999 to 23 percent this year. · lh 'september, . Goodyear completed an alliance with.Japan's Suntitomo Rubber Indus~ries Ltd.,"giving Goodyear contfPI .of Dunlop . tire operations in North America and Europe. Goodyear, which cut 5,800 jobs last year, is not planning any more layoffs, said spokesman Keith Price. The company employs more than 105,000 people worldwide. Gibara said staffing reduc~ tions made last year should help Goodyear's profitability this year. Goodyear took a charge of $171.6 million . against earnings Jor various costs linked largely to 1999 employment reductions and plant clos' ings, but that was mostly offset by gains in the . third quarter . of. $166.7 rniUion relating tp Goodyear's Dunlop deal and sale of some assets. . Gibara said the successful integration of Dunlop is a key in Goodyear's priorities for this year.

Decis10ns in the two case!' had been delayed for months as a debate wag~d inside the administration over whether to grant the industry pet1t1ons. Supporters argued that in an 'election y~ar the administration had to act to protect the domestic industry and its workers while opponents charged the actions would send the signal that America was erecting protectionist trade barriers.
