Doug Keegan, a senior applied mathematics major, said Tuesday there were " minor discrepancies" in photos of the stack taken 36 and 60 hours before the Nov. 18 accident. "The main thing I noticed was slack in the perimeter lines," Keegan said, referring to cables connecting the stack's center pole to perimeter poles. "They are secondary signs that indi cate a lean to me. I may or may not be right. " Keegan found the photos on the uni versity's local computer network, where another student had posted them. They were shot with a movie camera, perched atop a building near the bonfire site, that provided a live feed to the university Web site. No complete recording of the feed is know n to ex ist. Us ing hi s computer, Keegan superimposed a grid over the photos and discovered what he believes is slack in the support cables on one side of the 7,000- log stack and a slight bow in the center pole. Poor li ghting in the images made it diffi cult to say co nclusively whether the center pole was leaning, he said. Keegan turned the photos over to the uni versity, which on Monday made them ava il able fo r public inspec tion. Thousands of documents re lating to the bonfire acc ident have been catalogued at A&M's Cushing Library. John Weese, an A&M professor of mechanical engineering, is serving as liaison between a five-member team in vestigating the collapse and faculty experts assistin g in the inquiry. He . said the ce nter pole and at least one of the perimeter lines will be looked at during the investigation. Benjamin Kelley, dean of Baylor University 's engineering and computer science school. believes uneven distribution of weight might explain the collapse. But he added that the materials and method used in constructing the bonfire stack make it "a very complicated structure."

The deal helped put an upbeat ending to a year that saw China-U.S. ti.es sink to their lowest point in decades because of NATO's May 7 bombing. Disputes over human rights, Taiwan, U.S. allegations of Chineseespionage and China's banning of the Falun Gong spiritual movement have further aggravated tits. 'Tm sure this· settlement will be conducive to lhe improvement and further development of U.S.-China relations," said State Department legal adviser David Andrews, who negotiated the compensation deal. " I hope this d.ay marks the beginning of · a more positive trend." Andrews noted that the deal was struck just hours after the new U.S . ambassador to C:hina, Joseph Prueher. presented his credentials to President Jiang Zemin, formally lilling a post left empty since July. . Under today 's agreement, the U.S government will ask Congress for the $28 million to pay for extensive damage done to China's Belgrade embassy. The money comes on top of $4.5 million in compensation Washington paid to the families of lhree Chinese journalists killed and 27 other people injured in the bombing.

Pomeroy, Middleport, Ohio Penguins defeat .Hurricanes 6-~; Rangers, Stars also win NHL action By The Aaaoclated Pre11 Jaromir Jagr and the Pittsburgh Penguins are sure taking the team's coaching change well. Jagr had two goals and three assists as the Penguins won their fourth straight game under new coac h Herb Brooks, 6-3 over the Carolina Hurricanes on Wednesday night. "It's a totally different system," Jagr said. "He wants to hold the puck all the time . If you don't have to dump it, don't dump it at all. If we have the position and the puck. JUSt keep it." It was the fourth five-point night of Jagr's career. The NHL scoring leader has 52 points in 29 games_ Jagr 's first three points came in an eight-minute span of the first period to put the Hurricanes in their worst opening-period deficit of the season. Jagr scored his league -leading 23rd goal of the season 4',, minutes into the game when he stickhandled past two Carolina defensemen and heat Arturs lrbe . "(Jagr) is that good with the puck . When he decides he is going to change gcus, that 's it." Carolina coach Paul Maurice added . "We are not talking about a good hockey player here. we're probabl y talktng about the best hockey player in the world." Jagr then assisted on a pair of goals by Hrdina as the Penguins dominated the first period. Jan Hrdina added two goals and an assist, and Martin Straka had three assists for. the Penguins. Pittsburgh won three straight at home since Brooks took over for Kevin Constantine last week, and the Penguins but kept the streak alive on the road, winning for only the fourth time in 15 games away from the Civic Arena. Meanwhile, the Hurricanes, coming off a four-game road trip, dropped their third straight for the first time this season, falling back to .500. The Hurricanes closed to 4-3 early in the third. but Michael Rozsival gave Pittsburgh a two-goal margin with his first NHL goal. Jagr added an assist on German Titov's empty-net goal with 24 seconds left. In other NHL games, it was the New York Rangers 8, los Angeles 3; TorontoS, the New York IslanderS"l ; Washington 4, Atlanta 0; Florida 3, Nashville 2; Detroit 5, Edmonton I; Dallas 5, Calgary I; and Anaheim 4, Colorado 2. . Rangers 8, Kings 3 John MacLean had two goals and two assists and Todd Harvey scored twice in a six -goal lirst period for New York. The Kings , with the league's most road points , did not fare any better against the Rangers than they did Tuesday in a 7-1 loss at New Jersey_ The Rangers extended their sea· son-high unbeaten streak to five games (4-0-1). Red Wings S, Oilers 1 , ~- ? ;I '.: Doug Brown, seeing his first action since Nov. 28, scored two goals as host Detroit won its fourth straight. Ken Wregget. making his first stan since Dec. 4, took a 5-0 lead into the third period before Edmonton's Bill Guerin scored his sixth goal with 6:25 remaining. Panthers 3, Predators 2 Pavel Bure scored his eighth goal in the last eight games to bre.ak a third-period tie and lift host Florida. Mikhail Shtalenkov, who became the Panthers No. I goalie when Trevor Kidd dislocated his right shoulder Monday, had 15 saves, including a sprawling stop at the buzzer on Sergei Krivokrasov 's shot from the slot. Capitals 4, Thrashers 0 Steve Konowalchuk and Jan Bulis each scored their eighth goals and Olaf Kolzig made 18 saves for Washington at Atlanta. The Capitals chased Atlanta's Scott langkow after the rookie goalie gave up a goal to Dmitri .Mironov at the 15:13 mark . Maple Leafs 5, Islanders 1 Jonas Hoglund had two goals and an assist as Toronto moved three points ahe ad of second-place Philadelphia in the Eastern Conference.

(AP) - The New Jersey Nets are starting to figure out how to play tlie game agatn. N,ot only are they winning, they re standing up for each other. Keith Van Horn scored 27 points and the Nets exploited a porous defense to defeat Cleveland 111-10 I on Wednesday night, ending a sixgame losing streak against the Cavaliers. . Stephan Marbury added 23, Kerry Ktllles had 17 and Kendall Gill 16 as the suddenly hot Nets won for the fourth time in five g!mes after openIng the season losing 15 of 17. "We're starting to play hard and we ' re starting to play as a team," Marbury said after the Nets beat the Cavaliers for only the second time in 14 games. Gill wasn 'I around to see the end of the game. He was eje<ted late in the fourth quarter after picking up two tcchnicals in a run -in with Cavs center Andrew DeClercq. But that incident and Gill's response were just as important as the win, some plavers said. Gill ini tially pushed DeClercq because the Cavs center had pushed Van Horn . "We 'vc got to protect each other, that 's what other teams do." M_arbury sai d. -Gill said that DeClercq had · thrown a couple of cheap shots during the game, including a hip check that knocked him . off balance just bel'ore the incident . ::~'You've got to let people know your team and teammates aren 'I gtiing to be shoved around," Gill said. "That's part of the reason why I reacted the way I did.

He also realizes he must be more productive. Stewart had only six touchdown passes in 15 starts datmg to last season before coach Bill Cowher tried to salvage a second straight losing season by putting in Tomczak. But Cowher didn ' t want Stewart and his 'considerable athletic talent atrophying on the bench , so he con vinced .him to retufn to the "Slash" role he played in 1995 and 1996 before becoming the starting quarterback. Stewart has since caught nearly everything thrown hi .~ way. making lhre~ catches for 21 yards Dec. 2 against Jacksonville and four more for 71 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-24 loss to Baltimore. Stewart con"cedes that he if played the position full time . he could be a very good receiver. Maybe even better than good. But he doc.sn' l plan on finding out. " I knew I had ability. " he said. "Be fore, I basically had fun and just went out there and ran around and made plays , just like I've always done since I was a child. To be able to do as well as I have, if I actually practiced the position , I probably could be very good. " I'm not bad now. But I also showed at quarterback I could be very dangerous if I were in one system for a very long lime . as opposed to keep swi tching systems over and over and over." Stewart is playing for his fourth offensive coordinator in as many seasons. and says lhe constant changing has stunted hi s progression as a quarterback. That's why he expects to be more productive once he has spe nt another season in coordinator Kevin Gilbride's system. Perhaps. JUSt as productive as he was when he threw for 21 touchdowns and ran for II in his first season as a starting quarterback 1997. "Once I'm in an offense for a very lon g time , just like most quarterbacks in the NFL, .the sky's the limit for me," he said.

"I don't want this situation to ever come about again," Stewart said Wednesday. " If things don't work out, and I hate talking about the ifs. I don't plan on going back and playing wide receiver in any way, shape or form. "In the worst-case scenario and it would be the worst - I would be a backup quarterback . Plain and simple." · Stewart made 43 consecutive starts at quarterback , only to be benched after throwing six touchdown passes and 10 interceptions in · II games. Mike Tomczak started the last two games and. will start again Saturday at Kan ~as City, but is unsigned for next season and probably won't return . Team president Dan Rooney has already said Stewart will be the starting quarterback again· next season.

The Temple coach had JUSt seen his 17th-ranked Owls beat Villanova 69-66 on Wednesday night in the first game for both schools in the return of the Big Five. "The old guy, the old purist, is going to look at it and say it 's never going to be the same because college basketball has changed drastically," the Philadelphia native said. There was some extra pregame excitement with the series among Philaddphia 's five Divi sion I schools back to a full round-robin for the first time since 1990-91.

"This is a problem of the organizing committee," Samaranch said. "This was an invitation based on friendship." Samaranch denied a report the IOC spends $500,000 a year to maintain his two-room hotel suite in Switzerland. He said the IOC pays $250 per day for the suite when he is there, and $70 per day when he is out of town. "A special price," ·he called it. "Let me assure you. it is far from being a luxurious suite," he said. Samaranch said he first became aware that cities see king the; Olympics were providing gifts and ·· other amenities to IOC members in ' 1984, when Los Angeles won the : Summer Games. But he said the IOC ; was not able to stop such abuses ' before this year because no one pro· : vided the commiltec with names on offending members. , "We can only take action at the !

"Merely changing the rules does not mean we are going to solve the , problem," Waxman said. ·, ~ Samaraneh brought along some', important allies, including former; Tennessee Sen.

Under the agreement, sealed in two days of negotiations that dragged into this morning, Beijing will also provide $2.87 million to cover damages to the U.S. Embassy and consulates in Chtna caused by anti-U.S. protesters angered by the bombing. The deal helped put an upbeat ending to a year that saw China-U.S. ties si nk to their lowest point in decades because of NATO's May 7 bombing. Disputes over human rights. Taiwan. U.S. allegations of Chinese espionage and China's banning of the Falun Gong spiritual movement have further aggravated ties. " I'm sure this settlement will be conducive to the ·improvement and further development of U.S.-China relations," said State Department legal adviser David Andrews, who negotiated the compensation deal. "I hope this day marks the beginning of a more positive trend." Andrews noted that the deal was struck just hours after the new U.S. Russian military suffers defeat at Chechen hands ambassador 19 China, Joseph Prueher, presented his credentials to President 1 Jiang Zemin.•rormally filling a post left empty since July. .. Under today's agreement, the U.S. government will ask Congress for·~he ~ $28 million to pay for e)(tensive damage done to China's Belgrade embassy. The money comes on top of $4.5 million in compensation Washing~on paid to the families of three Chinese journalists killed and 27 other people injured in the bombing. China has never accepted U.S. explanations that the bombing was a mistake caused by faulty mlelligcnce and targeting. Government-run media said the bombing was intentional. inflaming the violent protests in China. Although the deal, reached in the fifth round of negotiations since June, settled the issue of property damage, it did not assuage Chinese indignation. The bombing was a "barbarous act" and a "gross violation" of international law. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhu Bangzao said today in comments carried by the official Xinhua News Agency. Zhu again demanded ihat the United States thoroughly investigate the allack. "severely punish the perpetrators and give a satisfactory account of the incident 10 the Chinese government and people as soon as possible." His deputy. Zhang Qiyuc. later told reporters that although the agreement Friday Thuredey, December 16, 19H· Pomeroy, Middleport, Ohio Today: Cloudy . High: 50s; Low: 30s "is conduqjve for the improvement of China-U.S. relations,:• Beijing still wants Wasllington to "eliminate negati-ve effects caused by the bombing." Despite'U.S. requests, China has yet to resume high-level military contacts and talks with the United States on human rights and security issues that it suspended in anger after the bombing. Adding to the woes, China assailed the United States last week for supporting Taiwanese participation in the World Health Organization. Only days before, China. lashed out at President Clinton for criticizing Beijing 's crackdown on "'lim Gong and assailed U.S. sanctions on crime control equipment because of Chinese religious persecution. At the san.le' time, Jiang and Russian President Boris Yeltsin, bolstered their Cf:!Untries' bUdding strategic partnership. At a Beijing summit, they spoke out against proposed U.S. anti-missile defenses and what they regard as Arne(- · ican domination of global affairs. China's Foreign Ministry also recently stopped accepting U.S. Embassy protests on human rights issues, making the State Department lodge protests in Washington instead, according to U.S. officials.

Allowing local political leaders to begin working in democratic institutions would help in a transition to autonomy, Eckhard said, adding that the United Nations would remain in charge until then. In a June I0 resolution that ended Sunday: Cloudy High: 40s; Low: 30s December 17, 1999 the Kosovo conflict, the U.N. Security Council created an international military force to oversee security and a U.N. civilian administration to run the province and build a new gov~ ernment and economy. Stymied by a lack of funds to jump-start opera, lions, U.N. officials have struggled to wield power in the province and set it on the path to autonomy envisaged under the Security Council resolution. The new body will comprise 14 separate departments that will function like government ministries. It stipulates that the U.N. administrator. in Kosovo will coordinate the activity of the new administration and have the final decision if the parties can't reach an agreement. By BRIAN J.

The village .did not advertise for bids, but Kenny Madden, street department foreman, said he had checked with all local dealers, as well as the state purchasing program, and thought the Chevrolet truck from the Bibbee dealership was the most reasonable purchase for the village's needs. lannarelli said emergency provisions in the Ohio Revised Code allow the village to purchase a vehicl~ without seeking bids in Sentinel News Staff MIDDLEPORT - The purchase of a new truck for the department or public works, and several appropriations adjustments were approved Thursday by the Village Council. The meeting was postponed from Monday evening so members could attend the U.S. 33 public meeting. Council had an extensive discussion about the truck purchase prior to approval. The subject of a new truck was first introduced to council earlier this fall, because of increasing maintenance problems older village trucks are experiencing. Brent Manley, village supervisor, brought a proposal from Jerry Bibbee Ford in Middleport for a one-owner .1998 Chevrolet the event of an emergency, and said the village was facing an emergency now, since tl1ere was no truck to pull the sewer jetler, leaf vacuum and other equipment. "We have no truck," lannarelli said. The village last purchased a truck in 1986. Councilman Steve Houchins, who voted against the purchase, said he thought residents . might be concerned the purchase is unnecessary and might think the village docs not need to collect ' the $5 water improvement charge being collected monthly from each customer. He also said he thought the purchase did not qualify as an emergency measure. lannarelli and Manley noted the $23,000 purchase price would be paid from the water fund and the refuse fund, and not the water improvement fund, which is fed by the $5 monthly charge. (That fund is to be used for direct improvements to the water system.) All council members, with the exception of Houchins, voted in favor of the purchase. Council members . noted they would be attentive to .maintenance on the truck, and urged Manley to maintain complete maintenance records, which Manley said were already being kept for other vehicles. In other business: • Council approved the second reading on a number of funds transfers to correct deficit balances in the parks budget, the fire equipment fund, and various other funds within the village's general fund. The transfers totaled $16,500. • Council also authorized the purchase of bullet-proof vests for the police department. • Jean Craig, president of the Board of Public Affairs, said the board and Floyd Browne Associates, the village's engineering and consulting firm, will investigate two pri vately owned water wells, for possible use by the village. One well is owned by James Mourning, and is on the old Mourning farm properly. That well, if it is deemed suitable for village use, would be donated to the village by Mourning, Craig said. The second well lo be investigated and tested is next to the village garage on Park Street, and was used by the Rich Valley Dairy. • lannarelli said she had discussed the upcoming New Year's holiday with Police Jingle bell rockers .
