By JOHN CUNNIFF AP Business Analyst NEW YORK - Economtst Edward Yardem suggests a chtllong cxpcnmentto detenmne the mtenstty of mvestor commttment to those htgh-tech Stocks with very high price-earnings ratiOs . Raise the Federal Reserve margm reqUirement on 10vesiments to 75 percent from 50 percent of purchase pnce, Yardem says, suggestmg that to do so might dispel some of the dream10ess about the future "If investors are buymg stocks because they really beheve m a New Era of perpetual prospenty, they should be happy to buy stocks wtth even 100 percent of thetr own money," says the chief economiSt at Deutsche Bank Alex.

On the enure marketplace? : The possibthty rouses ommous thoughts, whtch by themselves suggest many mvestors already are Jtllery of a market that has nsen so far so fast and is already as volattle as a volcano And It's true, m an age where httle is sold wtthout benefit of dtscounts or wtthout the mducement of easy terms or guarantees, Yardem's tdea mtght sound reckless. But not long ago 11 wasn 't. Between 1934 and January 1974, the margm rule was adjusted more than ~ ttmes before settling at 50 percent, and tt has restded at that percentage ever smce.

It ts unhkely that Greenspan had any asset but stocks in mind. Certainly it would not have been savings, nor even such a steady nser as housmg prices. ,'\mong assets, stocks stand out. Moreover, stocks affect the rest of the economy through the wealth effect, the sense of financtal well-bemg that frees consumers to spend and borrow without the usual msecunttes. : Meanwhile, Wall Street has other concerns It's very structure IS being test1\!1 and changed.

On Dec. 4, 1991, I proposed m a column that a new national holiday be estabhshed to commemorate the end of the Cold War. I asked readers to parttctpate 10 a contest to· I name It, 2. pick a date, and 3. propose a method of celebration. Several hundred submissions came in. Some of the most tmag10ative entries for a name were: "Defrost Day," "Thaw Day," "Ronald Reagan Day," "Gorbachev Day," "Borscht Day," "Peace Through Strength Day," "E Day" (wh1ch would stand for "Evtl Emptre Ends Day"), "E2D2" ("Evtl Emptre Death Day"), "Jencho Day," "Pax AmerIcana Day" and "Kerensky Future Freedom Day" (recalling that Yeltsin was not the ftrst pro-democratic leader of Russta). Scores of respondents offered "Ltberty Day," "Democracy Day," and, mostly, "Freedom Day " In Billie Jean Brown June of 1992, I publicly proclatmed "Freedom Day" the wmner. One suggestiOn for the date of the new holiday was June 5, for Adam Smllh 's btrthday But the most votes went for Nov 9, the day the wall fell So today I proclatm that date Freedom Day There were tdeas about how to celebrate and commemorate Freedom Day. butld a stblmg sculpture to the Statue of Ltberty , eat potatoes, the universal food, butld a tunnel toRussta across the Bermg Strait; thank God for peace, welcome tmmtgrants; medttate, tssue a U.N. stamp; budd tee sculptures, send money to feed Russtans; and do somethmg you can't do man unfree country- make a pubhc speech, see a dtrty movte, celebrate a reiigwn, travel across a border I propose that dtscusswn on the matter of how to celebrate be put on hold unttl we get the holiday established. How? Because all the major presidential candidates participated m the Cold War, they should endorse the hohday. Legislators ought to push for tl. Anyone who worked in a defense mdustry, or patd federal taxes from 1945 to 1989, ought to support it. Prestdent Cltnton ought to go to the ReaganJ.tbrary to endorse it.

By JOE KAY AP Sports Writer CINC~NATI (AP) Before last season, the Cincinnati Reds traded for Greg Vaughn, fresh off his SO-homer season, and went on to win 96 games. Already this offseason, they've replaced Vaughn by trading for Dante Bichette, giving the small-market team another big-time run producer. Can general manager Jim Bowden top himself by landing the biggest catch of them all? Bowden said Wednesday that the Reds will try to swing a trade with Seattle that would bring Ken Griffey Jr. back to his hometown. Griffey has rejected a contract extension from the Mariners, saying he wants to pl ay closer to his home in Orlando, Fla. · " We're going to do everything we can to see if we can't be a player in this and see if we can't make a deal for him," Bowden said. Bringing Junior home has been a topic of conversation in his hometown for years. The city considers him one of its own. Junior grew up in Cincinnati, polishing the skills that made him a No. I draft pick. His father, Ken Sr., was a star on the Big Red Machine of the 1970s and is currently a coach. The two played together in Seattle, where ih 1990 they became the first father-son duo to start a game and to homer in the same game. The city fits Junior like a well-worn batting glove.

He's a franchise player. He 's a future Hall of Farner. He's a Wednesday. TheAtlan la Braves might be in better position to land Cincinnati player. This very unique opportunity comes Junior, if they're interested. Atlanta is only a one-hour flight from Orlando and the Braves' .spring training complex is just south of the city at Disney ~orld. Also, the Ttme Warner-owned Braves have the financial clout to afford a player of Griffey's caliber and enough talent to make an attractive offer to the Mariners, who surely would be interested in 22-year-old.

"They might not find a trade they like. They told me, 'You may not find ·one you like.' But if there is no trade, I'll be going to spring training with Seattle at my normal time.'' The Reds would have to increase their budget to afford Junior, who is signed for one more season at $8.5 million and could command much more than that as a free agent in one year. . . The Reds were able to afford Bichette's $6.5 million base salary only because the Rockies agreed to cover · $1.9 million of it. Cincinnati had a $35 million payroll last season and isn 't expected to increase it dramatically until it's ready to move into a new stadium in 2003. : As~ed if the price of obtaining Junior will be too high, Bowden said, "I can't answer that. It 's too early in the process. We're going to make every effort we can.".. Bosox's Martinez landslide pick _ a sAP· Player of the Year By RONALD BLUM AP Sports Writer NEW YORK (AP)- Pedro Martinez was as dominant in voting for The Associated Press Major League Player of the Year as he was on the mound this season. The Boston Red Sox pitcher, who led the big leagues in wins and ERA, received 56 votes in nationwide balloting by sports writers and broadcasters that was released Wednesday. Atlanta third baseman Chipper Jones, who finished second, got just 14 votes- one-fourth the total Martinez received. Cleveland outfielder Manny Ramirez was the only other player to reach double digits, getting 12 votes. Martinez, a 28-year-old right-hander, was in his native Dominican Republic and not available for comment. He became the first Boston player to win the award, going 23-4 with 213 l-3 innings. He is only the second pitcher to win the award, which began in 1988, joining Atlanta's Greg Maddux , the 1995 winner. Martinez, traded from Montreal to Boston in November 1997, was the anchor of the Red Sox, who won the AL wild-card and upset Cleveland in the first round of the playoffs before losing to the New York Yankees. When he strained a back muscle and left in the fourth inning of Boston's postseason opener, Cleveland rallied to win.

He excelled in the postseason, allowing two runs and seven hits in year to file for free agency.

Majority owner Richard Jacobs put the team up for sale in May. · WJW-TV in Cleveland, citing unidentified sources, reported Tuesday night that an announcement is imminent that Jacobs has · agreed to sell the Indian s to a group headed by Cleveland-area attorney Larry Dolan. The Plain Deal er reported today a "final draft" of a purchase agreement Jacobs and Dolan 's group was prepare d last weekend, and officials of the Cleveland Indians Baseball Co. met Wednes day to review the agreement. "I think that they are very close to a deal, but sometimes the parameters change a little," said a Plain Dealer · source, who requested anonymity because of sensitive disclosure issues involving publicly traded companies. Cleveland Indians stock, traded on the Nasdaq stock exchange since June 1998, closed Wednesday at $20.62, up $2 .56. The stock's previous high for the past year was $19.50 a share and when Jacobs initially offered Indians stock, it was ·for $15 a share. But Jacobs never relinquished control of the Indians, who hav e won five straight AL Central titles and two American League pennants sin ce 1995 . Neither Dolan nor Jacobs returned calls Wednesday. A spokes- woman for Dolan , Kathy Obert, said Wednesday night she could not discuss the matter. Jacobs, 73, and j\is late brother, David, bought the Indians in 1986 for an estimated $45 million . It is believed Jacobs has been seeking more than $300 million for the club now. Any deal w·ould need the approval of the other major league baseball owners. Dolan and his brother, Cablevision Systems Corp. chairman Charles Dolan , have mounted several unsuccessful bids to buy professional sports ieams recently, including the Cleveland Browns. Cablevision owns the NHL's New York Rangers and the NBA's New York Knicks. Scottsdale, San·Antonio say yes; St. Paul, Houston no, to arenas By The Associated Press While voters in Scottsdale and San Antonio approved funding for new sports arenas, St. Paul and Houston turned down similar proposals. In Scottsdale, Ariz., and two neighboring communities, voters approved a plan Tuesday to use public financing to redevelop a rundown mall to include a new arena for the NHL's Phoenix Coyotes. And in San Antonio, voters handily approved a new arena. for th e NBA champion Spurs. ·Under the Scottsdale proposal, an 18,000-seat hock· eY, arena wi ll anchor Los Arcos Mall. The $352 million public share of the project's cost will be recaptured from sa!es tax revenues when the development is complete. · Fountain Hills, another city that is part of the stadium district created for the arena, also approved the plan. The Coyotes are the last of Arizona's four major pro· fessional franchises to seek publie help to build a new . arena. They currently play in 16,210-seat America West Arena, where they are losing up to $10 million a year because the co-tenant Phoenix Suns won't share concession revenues. City of Phoenix money went into America West, and Maricopa County taxpayers paid most of .the cost of Bank One Ballpark, built for the Arizona Diamondbacks. But when the Arizona Cardinals asked voters in nearby Mesa to help them build a domed stadium as part of an $1.8 billion' commercial project six months ago, they were rejected. In Bexar County, Texas, residents were voting 60-40 in favor of increasing hotel and rental car taxes to help fund a $175 million basketball arena for the Spurs, who currently play in the 6-year-old Alamodome. The Spurs would share the building with the rodeo . three weeks a year, move into the 18,500-seat arena by 2002 and gain most of the revenue generated at the site.

The event kicks off Clinton's second national poverty tour - a twoday trip to Newark, Hartford, Conn., Hermitage, Ark.. and Chicago designed to focus on spreading economic prosperity to parts of the country that have missed out on it. "I will highlight new ideas and efforts that can make these communities and those like them all across America new markets for American investment, entrepreneurism and opportunity," Clinton said Wednesday. In Newark, Clinton was highlighting the efforts of Lewis Katz and Ray Chambers, majority owners of the New Jersey Nets. who put $50 million .into a trust fund that provides scholarships. mentoring and other educational programs for youth in New Jersey 's largest cities. Clinton planned to use the occasion to "put the challenge to pro spom franchises, to the professional sports leagues, ro use their high visibility and prominence in the com~ munity to help catalyze larger corporate investment," said Clinton economic adviser Gene Sperling . • Other sports entities planned t.o make announcements, Sperling said. Major league baseball has been pursuing contracts with minority-owned suppliers, Sperling said, and the NFL is developing programs in conjunc- 80 lion with the Local Initiatives Support through a series of tax credits and would continue to try to getlegisla- · Dakota and the Mississippi Delta. .

American Home Products Corp. and Warner-Lambert Co. were expected to announce more details later today. American Home is behind the household products Ad vii, Robitussin and Chapstick and the top selling hormone replacement drug Premarin, the world's most prescribed medicine. But it is struggling as a result of lawsuits and product safety questions and has been seeking ·a merger partner after two previous deals collapsed. Warner-Lambert makes Certs mints. Schick razors and th.e blockbuster cholesterol drug Lipitor. It has been the nation's fastest-growing drug company for the past two years. The new company will be called American Warner Inc. "They both need more depth in research and distribution and a stronger global presence," said Linda Miller, portfolio manager for the John Hancock Global Health Sciences Fund, which owns about 150.000 shares of each COI)lpany. The stocks of both companies rose Wednesday after both parties confirmed that they were in merger talks. Shares of other drug makers also rose as investors anticipated a new round of deal making. The merger will be structured as a stock swap, with shareholders in each company controlling half of the shares in the new company. Each company will name 10 members of the new board of directors. Combined, American Home and Warner-Lambert would have sales of $26 billion. Their prescription-drug business would surpass the current leader Swedish-Anglo concern AstraZeneca PLC , which makes Prilosec, a heartburn drug that had the highest sales of any drug on the market. Including over-the-counter medicines and other health care products, a combined American Home and Warner-Lambert would rank third in worldwide sales behind No. I Merck & Co. and No.2 Johnson & Johnson. By joining forces, drug companies can spread the cost of developing new drugs. while increasing the sales force needed to market old and new products. The companies expect a Fate of gay man's convicted murderer·' in hands of jury LARAMIE, Wyo. (AP) - The man convicted of killing gay college student Matthew Shepard may .have a glimmer of hope as jurors begin deciding whether he should live or die, legal experts say. Aaron McKinney was found guilty of felony murder on Tuesday by jurors who rejected a more serious murder charge, one involving premeditation. But the 22-year-old roofer also was convicted of kidnapping and robbery, aggravating factors that make him eligible for the death penalty. Arguments on his punishment were to begin today. If jurors do not vote unanimously for death, McKinney will receive a ·lifetime prison sentence, which the judge cannot alter. Shepard, 21, was lured from a Laramie bar 13 months ago, robbed of$20, lashed to a fence, bludgeoned in the head with a pistol and left to die on the prairie. The University of Wyoming student died live days lat- er in a Fort Collins, Colo., hospital. The crime drew condemnation from President Clinton and spurred nationwide rallies for anti-hate crime legislation. The case has been closely watched by gay rights groups. Andrew Cohen, a Denver attorney who has followed the case, said" the verdict does send a message. "I think this verdict is a bit of a sign from this jury that they're buying into the defense argument that however horrible the crime was, McKinney didn't mean to do it and didn't plan to do it," he said. If so, that could save McKinney's life. Cohen said. McKinney and friend Russell Henderson were charged in the attack. Investigators said the robbery was the primary motive but that the slightly built Shepard also was singled out because he was gay. Henderson, 22, pleaded guilty to murder earlier this year and has been sentenced to life in prison_ DDIWNAGE S'SIEMS INC.

OSTLING AP Religion Writer It 's probably the most frightening thing that Jesus Christ ever said: ' ~ Every sin and blasphemy will he forgiven men. hut the blasphemy against the Spint will not be forgiven. And whoever says a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven: but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come. That's the teaching as recorded in Matthew 12:31-32. Much the same wording is also found in Mark 3:2829 and Luke 12:10. Instead of "unforgivable sin," the familiar phrasing quoted above from the Revised Standard Version, the New Revised Standard Version speaks of "an eternal sin." Whether eternal nr unforgivable, what is it? How are we to understand these words of Jesus? Experts provide a variety of interpretations. In the new "International Bible Commentary," published by the Catholic Liturgical Press, Philip Shuler contends that Jesus meant it. was unforgivable for the Pharisees to align themselves with "tyrants and oppressors." But few other analysts give that sort of political spin to the text. Then there's the approach of Higher Criticism , which thinks New Testament passages indicate what the· later church thought rather than what Jesus originally taught. In his commentary on Matthew, Paul Minear of Yale Divinity School notes that the Jesus saying occurred during a dispute with the Phansees, so he figures the passage expresses the later church 's conflict with Judaism. Another exotic interpretation comes from the conservative camp known as Dispensationalism, which applies biblical teachings differently depending on when they were written. Not to worry, writes Charles Ryrie of Dallas Theological Seminary in his best-selling study Bible. "The special circumstances involved in this blasphemy cannot be duplicated today." But most Bible commentators disagree, and take Jesus' warning very seriously indeed. Writing in Christianity Today magazine, Mariallne Meye Thompson of Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, Calif., observes that blasphemy is so weighty that at one time it was punishable by death (Leviticus 24: 15-6). She summarizes the great sin as an attitude that "denies the power of the Spirit of God at work in Jesus. " That's the consensus view among biblical analysts. , The Catholic scholar John R. Donahue of the Jesuit School of Theology in Berkeley, Calif., writes in "Harper's Bible Commentary" that the passage refers to someone with "the inability to distinguish good from evil" who is so spiritually blind that he is unaware of the presence of God. A major Catholic reference work, the "Jerome Biblical Commentary" of 1968, observes that the saying seems especially difficult for Catholicism, which teaches that repentance and salvation are possible up to the very moment of death. So the commentary understands the words this way> Unforgivable · blasphemy is something that makes it impossible for someone to recognize the work of God. In other words, a person cannot receive forgiveness unless "he confesses that he has something to be forgiven." Thompson emphasizes that God's mercy is liberal and lavish: Every sin and every blasphemy is forgivable, except for this one type. She adds that it is not unforgivable to harbor a single thought or make some insulting remark about Jesus or the Spirit of God. "Rather it is a sustained stance." A further comforting explanation comes from D.A. Carson of Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Illinois, in the ,.'Evangelical Commentary on the Bible." Blasphemy against the Spirit, he writes, does not refer to a mindset resulting from "ignorance or unbelief," but rather conscious rejection of something that is perfectly obvious. Still frightened? Donald A. Hagner, Thompson's faculty colleague at. Fuller seminary, makes a related point in his Matthew volumes for the "Word Biblical Commentary": If someone is truly worried about comm itting the unforgivable sin, that concern itself proves this person cannot be guilty of this sort of blasphemy. Census: Americans really like their homes, neighborhoods By RANDOLPH E. SCHMID Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - Jim Lummy could not be more pleased with his home or his neighborhood. After all , the three-bedroom Cape Cod where he has lived for 35 years in Old Saybrook, Conn., is only . a few blocks from Long Island Sound. "We' re delighted with where we live," he said. He is hardly alone in liking his community, a government report finds . · Asked to rate their homes and neighborhoods on a scale from 1-to10, 69 percent of Americans rated their houses 8 or better and 67 percent gave that endorsement to their neighborhood. The results are in the massive " American Housing Survey for the United States: 1997," being released Monday by the Census Bureau and the Department of Housing and Urban Development. By a narrow margin Midwesterners are the happiest with their homes, with 70.3 percent rating them 8 or higher. Some 70 percent of folks in the Northeast gave their houses similar approval ratings, as did 69.9 percent in the South. On the other hand, Westerners seem somewhat less satisfied, with 65.8 percent giving their homes ratings of 8 or better. Lummy would give I Os to both his house and neighborhood. "We' ve been e•tremely happy there." Curt Hensley, schoolteacher from Carrollton, Ohio. is happy with his community, too. He and his wife built a two-bedroom home in a neighborhood where every lot is an acre in size. "We know everybody. You have neighbors, but you have a little bit of land, too. 'it's the best of both worlds." David Aycoth settled in Mount Pleasant, N.C., a small town near Charlotte, after a stint in the Navy. "Love the house ... I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. It's where we always wanted to be." he said. "It's a good hometown, family atmosphere." Turning to neighborhoods, Midwesterners were once again happiest, with 69.3 percent giving a rating of 8 or more. That level of satisfaction was expressed by 68.4 percent of Southerners and 65.7 percent of Nonheast residents. Westerners were least satisfied with just 62.7 percent, giving their neighborhood a rating of 8 or more. Other findings of the report included: -There are 99.5 million occupied housing units in the United States, with owners living in 65.5 million and renters in the rest. -The housing stock includes 62.1 million single detached homes, 6.5 million mobile homes and the rest in attached homes and apartmen!>. -Some 77 million homes are in metropolitan areas, and 22 million in rural locations. -The median home size was 5.4 rooms. That means half had more than that and half fewer. Homes were biggest in the Midwest, 5.6 rooms, and smallest in the West, 5.2.

Scientists grow hair vvithout the use of drugs By JEFF DONN Associated Press Writer Scientists have figured Oljt a way to grow hair on a human without the use of drugs. The approach - transplanting scalp cells to make new hair grow - could in theory enable just about any head to sprout hair, researchers say. It also raises hopes of someday spurring the growth of new tissue or even whole organs inside patients, such as cartilage in arthritic joints. "You can use a few cells to basically regenerate an entire organ. To me, that's the mind-blowing part," said Angela Christiano, a Columbia University baldness researcher. She did the genetic analysis for · the British experiment reported today in the journal Nature. The researchers, led by biologist Colin Jahoda at Durham University, in England, took cells at the bottom of hair pores - or follicles - from Jahoda's own scalp and from a colleague's. These celh from the socalled dermal sheath were then transplanted into the forearm of Jahoda's wife. Within five weeks, the transplanted tissue- no bigger t~an the head of a pin - made a total of five fully grown hairs in the woman's arm. The transplanted tissue "is telling the cells of the recipient: You will make a hair follicle," Jahoda said. The new hair was genetically male. It was longer, thicker and darker than arm hair, but it combined some characteristics of both donor and recipient. Such success had been achieved before only in animal e~periments. Current ;.1 baldness treatments include hair'grafts and drugs, which can slow hair loss ·Or even produce new hair but only in a limited num ber of people. In grafts, hair is lifted from one section of a man's scalp and transplanted whole into a bald spot on his head. However, the process requires a slow, expensive and potentially painful series of operations. The new work suggests the possibility of a quicker procedure with less cuttin~ and the creation of new hair in JUSt about anyone. The cells could be removed from a person's own scalp or, if that person cannot produce good quality cells, they could be collected from someone else. They could then be multiplied through laboratory cloning before ----Community THURSDAY CHESHIRE Gallia-Meigs Community Action Agency, monthly board meeting, 4:30 p.m. Thursday, at the Guiding Hand School in Cheshire. being transplanted. Don't trash those toupees yet, t~ough. It is not yet clear whether such newly grown hair will last, pop up at the correct angle or· satisfy requireme~ts for cosmetically acceptable treatments, researchers said. The microsurgery used in the experiment is complex, too. The research buttresses the theory that transplanted hair cells somehow bypass the body's normal rejection mechanism for foreign tissue. The researchers picked Jahoda's wife partly because she is not related by blood to him or the other donor. Yet she showed no signs of tissue rejection. " Having the hair·as an immunologically privileged organ would be very, very important," said Dr. Michael Bernstein, a hair transplant surgeon who is medical director of the New Hair Institute in Los Angeles. He said Jahoda's technique may give hope mainly to old people who want new hair, patients with bad burns or others who for genetic reasons fai I to make their own hair. He predicted that bald men will be able to have their own hair cloned within 15 years or so. Calendar---~ meeting Saturday, I 0 a.m. at Faith Chapel Open Bible Church in Middleport.
