(AP) - It's back to the bullpen for Jeremy Affeldt. The 28-year-old left-hander signed with the Cincinnati Reds for. a shot at their starting rotation. But after a rough spring as a starter. Affeldt is looking at a role similar to last year with the NL champion Colorado Rockies - lateinning lefty in relief. To win a starter's job, he needed to add a change-up, build stamina and relearn pitching from a windup. After four games and II 2/3 innings. the Reds decided that Affeldt is best suited for the bullpen. He was slaled to pitch 1wo innings in a minor league game Tuesdar while fellow . former Rock1e Josh Fogg took over his scheduled start in an exhibition game against Pittsbur~h. "One of the good th1nas is he got to work on his change-up," manager Dusty Baker said of Affeldt, who gave up 19 hits: walked five and allowed 15 earned runs while permitting opposing batters to hit a si~zling .388. "I'm not disappointed," Affeldt said. "My position coming in (was) Dusty was going to decide the fiv'" guys that he would pul -out there on a consistent basis. One of two things were going to happen : I would be the guy, or I was goi'ng to be stopped on the play thinl<;ing it was a goal , but Columbus defenseman Aaron Rome skated the puck away from the goal line. Malhotra scored his· first of the game from the left circle, one-timing a pass from Nash near the goal line to the right of Kiprusoff at 5:30 of the third period to make it 2-0 with a low shot. Only l:ll later, the Blue Jackets kept possession in the Flames' zone and Fritsche spun off a check behind the net. He passed to Malhotra - this time stationed at the right circle for another quick shoi that gave Columbus a 3-0 lead. "I think those are just a result of being iri the right place at the right time," said Malhotra, who ilow has 10 goals on the season. Tempers boiled over late; which included Columbus' Jared Boll and Craig Conroy of Calgary fighting and each landing several heavy blow~. A total of 42 penalty minutes were issued the last minute of rc;;guhition. "We didn't play very well," lginla said. "They came out from the start and played physical.

Although not the final word, the study unders.cores concerns that blood deteriorates with age and that rules allowing blood to be. stored ·ror six weeks may pose a safety risk, at least for cer. tain patients. , The tlndi(lgs bolster the argument of those who believe that older blood should be avoided" wrote Dr. John Adamson of the Univefsity of California at San Diego, in an editorial accompanying the study in this week's New England Journal of Medicine. "However, the results of this study will not settle the debate" because the patients studied were not representative of all transfusion recip. ients, he added. The report was limited to heart surgery patients, but similar results have been shown in smaller studies that looked at other types of patients. The Food and Drug Administration 's six-week rule allows blood centers to endure shortages in donations and to maintain suppi ies of rare blood types. The study's lead author, Dr. Colleen Gorman Koch of the Cleveland Clinic, did not call for an immediate change to the FDA rule. But Koch said a more rigorous study is already under way that could 'carry the scientific weight to persuade the FDA to reconsider its policy. In a statement, the FDA said the findings were "provocative," but that more rigorous testing would be needed before it reviews the policy. Still, the agency said, doctors may wish to consider the report in making treatment decisions.· It's not clear exactly why blood stored for longer peri-. is riskier. Some ods researchers say stored blood becomes depleted of oxygencarrying chemicals. Red blood cells also become more rigid in storage. impeding their flow through the body. Researchers examined the records of 6,000 patients .who were given blood transfusions during heart-bypass or heart-valve surgery.

The astronauts aboard the linked shuttle and space $tation rested up Wednesday for the fourth spacewalk of their mission, a caulking gun and goo test. "Three down, two to go," Mi ssion Control told the astronauts in a wake-up message. Two of the crew members will float outside Thursday night to. squirt salmon-colored goo into the crevices of extra space shuttle thermal . tiles· that were deliberately damaged for the test. NASA wants to see how well the caulking gu n and patching material work, in case they're ever needed for a real repair. · The tools were developed in the wake of the 2003 Columbia disaster. The shuttle was destroyed· and all seven astronauts were killed during re-entry because of a hole in the w.ing. The sh uttle astronauts spent the first half of their mission putting together the new space stat ion 's Canadian robot, Dex1re, and imtalling a Japanese storage companment that will be followed . by Japan 's enormous Kibo l ~b in May. During Thursday's space- walk, astronauts Michael Foreman and Robert Behnken will work on sam·pte tiles that were carried up in Endeavour's payload bay. The experiment was supposed to be conducted durmg a shuttle flight last fall but was scrapped because of urgent repairs needed for a ripped solar wing at the international space station. NASA would like the test results before Atlantis blasts off at the end of August on one last repair mission to the Hubble Space Telescope. The astronauts on tl1at mission will not be able to use the space station as a refuge. if their shuttle is damaged during launch; they won't be in the same orbit. . Another space shuttle will be on the launch pad ready to fly to the rescue if necessary. Nonetheless, NASA wants the Hubble crew to have as many shuttle repair methods _ available as possible.

Bush defiantly defends high cost receive older blood transfusions Iraq war, says 'world is better' for it The Daily Sentinel BY MIKE STOBBE AP MEQICAL WRITER ATLANTA Heart surgery patients were more likely to die or suffer problems if they received transfusions of blood ' that is more than two weeks old rather than fresher blood, accordi• to a new study thafadds to the debate about the shelf life of blood. Although not the final word, the study unders.cores concerns that blood deteriorates with age and that rules allowing blood to be. stored ·ror six weeks may pose a safety risk, at least for cer. tain patients. , The tlndi(lgs bolster the argument of those who believe that older blood should be avoided" wrote Dr. John Adamson of the Univefsity of California at San Diego, in an editorial accompanying the study in this week's New England Journal of Medicine. "However, the results of this study will not settle the debate" because the patients studied were not representative of all transfusion recip. ients, he added. The report was limited to heart surgery patients, but similar results have been shown in smaller studies that looked at other types of patients. The Food and Drug Administration 's six-week rule allows blood centers to endure shortages in donations and to maintain suppi ies of rare blood types. The study's lead author, Dr. Colleen Gorman Koch of the Cleveland Clinic, did not call for an immediate change to the FDA rule. But Koch said a more rigorous study is already under way that could 'carry the scientific weight to persuade the FDA to reconsider its policy. In a statement, the FDA said the findings were "provocative," but that more rigorous testing would be needed before it reviews the policy. Still, the agency said, doctors may wish to consider the report in making treatment decisions.· It's not clear exactly why blood stored for longer peri-. is riskier. Some ods researchers say stored blood becomes depleted of oxygencarrying chemicals. Red blood cells also become more rigid in storage. impeding their flow through the body. Researchers examined the records of 6,000 patients .who were given blood transfusions during heart-bypass or heart-valve surgery. All of the patients were treated at the Cleveland Clinic from June 30, 1998, through Jan. 30,2006. .

The astronauts aboard the linked shuttle and space $tation rested up Wednesday for the fourth spacewalk of their mission, a caulking gun and goo test. "Three down, two to go," Mi ssion Control told the astronauts in a wake-up message. Two of the crew members will float outside Thursday night to. squirt salmon-colored goo into the crevices of extra space shuttle thermal . tiles· that were deliberately damaged for the test. NASA wants to see how well the caulking gu n and patching material work, in case they're ever needed for a real repair. · The tools were developed in the wake of the 2003 Columbia disaster. The shuttle was destroyed· and all seven astronauts were killed during re-entry because of a hole in the w.ing. The sh uttle astronauts spent the first half of their mission putting together the new space stat ion 's Canadian robot, Dex1re, and imtalling a Japanese storage companment that will be followed . by Japan 's enormous Kibo l ~b in May. During Thursday's space- walk, astronauts Michael Foreman and Robert Behnken will work on sam·pte tiles that were carried up in Endeavour's payload bay. The experiment was supposed to be conducted durmg a shuttle flight last fall but was scrapped because of urgent repairs needed for a ripped solar wing at the international space station. NASA would like the test results before Atlantis blasts off at the end of August on one last repair mission to the Hubble Space Telescope. The astronauts on tl1at mission will not be able to use the space station as a refuge. if their shuttle is damaged during launch; they won't be in the same orbit. . Another space shuttle will be on the launch pad ready to fly to the rescue if necessary. Nonetheless, NASA wants the Hubble crew to have as many shuttle repair methods _ available as possible.

In 1969, John Lennon married Yoko Ono in Gibraltar. In '1977, voters in Paris chose former French Prime Minister Jacques Chirac ' to be the French capital's first mayor in more than a century. ln 1988, 8-year-old DeAndra Anrig found herself airborne when the string of her kite was snagged by an airplane flying over Shoreline Park in Mountain View, Calif.

In 1995, in Tokyo; 12 people were killed, more than 5,500 others sickened when packages containing the poisonous gas sarin were leaked on five separate subway trains by Aum Shinrikyo cult members. Five years ago: A subdued Saddam Hussein appeared on state-run television after the initial U,S. air strike on Baghdad, accusing the United States of a "shameful crime" and urging his people to "draw your sword" against the invaders. American combat units rumbled across the desert into Iraq from the south and U.S. and British forces bOmbed · limited targets in Bagl\dad. The start of war in Iraq triggered one of the heaviest days of anti-government protesting in years, leading to thousands of arrests across the United States and prompting pro-war counter-demonstrations.

Stephen D. 1-tambley, a commissioner in Medina County south of Cleveland, said good schools and lower taxes have attracted newcomers. That, in turn, has led to surging enrollments, with 500 students attending classes in trailers in Medina city schools, Hambley said. "It's like a good fishing hole. Everyone wants it,'' he said. In southwest Ohio. Warren County attracts people from the Dayton and Cincinnati areas with an upscale housing mix, quality schools and good con nections along lnterstaJes 71 and 75. Warren County, with an estimated 204,390 people, has more than doubled in population since 1990.

' Ethnic group think 'imperils Democrats in class. Unknown to him, the students were black. l couldn',t help but think of that bleak comedy when Harvard professor Orlando Patterson wrote a New York Times op-ed explaining he "couldn't help but think of D.

Sometime.s I see naked women in the clouds, but I know they're not really there.

Eric Boehler! at MediaMatters.org, documented her denying the allegation eight ·separate times. Here's the highlighted transcript of her interview with CBS correspondent Steve Kroft: "CLINTON: Of course not. I mean, that's - you know, .there is no basis for that. You know, I take him on the basis of what he says. And, you know, there isn't any reason to doubt that. . KROFT: And you said you'd take Senator Obama at his word that he's not a Muslim.

I have · a great deal of sympathy for anybody who gets, you know, smeared with the kind of rumors thilt go on all the time." Geraldine Ferraro has always been a fool who never knows when to shut up. On the flip side, we're also told it's "racist" to object to the inflammatory rhetoric of Obama's longtime spiritual adviser, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who blames the U.S. government for inventing AIDS, chants "God Dam.n America" and comports himself like a left-wing Father Coughlin. Or like Pastor John Hagee, the anti-Catholic, anti-Semitic preacher who's endorsed Sen. John McCain. Obama, a 20-,Year communicant in Wnght's congregation, "categorically denounce(s) ... any statement that djsparages our great country."

Stephen D. 1-tambley, a commissioner in Medina County south of Cleveland, said good schools and lower taxes have attracted newcomers. That, in turn, has led to surging enrollments, with 500 students attending classes in trailers in Medina city schools, Hambley said. "It's like a good fishing hole. Everyone wants it,'' he said.

' Ethnic group think 'imperils Democrats in class. Unknown to him, the students were black. l couldn',t help but think of that bleak comedy when Harvard professor Orlando Patterson wrote a New York Times op-ed explaining he "couldn't help but think of D.

Sometime.s I see naked women in the clouds, but I know they're not really there.

Eric Boehler! at MediaMatters.org, documented her denying the allegation eight ·separate times. Here's the highlighted transcript of her interview with CBS correspondent Steve Kroft: "CLINTON: Of course not. I mean, that's - you know, .there is no basis for that. You know, I take him on the basis of what he says. And, you know, there isn't any reason to doubt that. . KROFT: And you said you'd take Senator Obama at his word that he's not a Muslim.

I have · a great deal of sympathy for anybody who gets, you know, smeared with the kind of rumors thilt go on all the time." Geraldine Ferraro has always been a fool who never knows when to shut up. On the flip side, we're also told it's "racist" to object to the inflammatory rhetoric of Obama's longtime spiritual adviser, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who blames the U.S. government for inventing AIDS, chants "God Dam.n America" and comports himself like a left-wing Father Coughlin. Or like Pastor John Hagee, the anti-Catholic, anti-Semitic preacher who's endorsed Sen. John McCain. Obama, a 20-,Year communicant in Wnght's congregation, "categorically denounce(s) ... any statement that djsparages our great country."

After protests by Tibetans against Chinese rule- and Beijmg's crackdown- sponsors said they were watching events closely. Tibet protests puts pressure on·Olympics, sponsors, who don't want to anger China BY JoE McDoNALD ASSOCIATED PRESS BEIJING -McDonald's, Coca-Cola and other sponsors pa1d tens of millions of dollars to link their names with the Beijing Olymp1cs. Now they're trying to mollify activists pressing for change on Tibet, Darfur and other issues, without angering China. They have expressed concern over Tibet Some talk privately to Beijing organizers. Samsung Electronics Co. called off a Beijing news conference scheduled for Friday on the torch relay. But sponsors insist they should stay out of politics. "We all have to be careful about how we talk about this," said Chns Renner, president for Chma of sports marketing consulting firm Helios Partners. Its clients include sponsors Volkswagen AG, computer maker Lenovo Group am:) minmg giant BHP Billiton Ltd. The Olympics almost always attract activists interested in leveraging the popular event to publicize their causes. At the 1996 Atlanta Games, sponsors faced bOycott calls after a county where the beach volleyball event was to be held enacted a measure deemed anti-gay. In Sydney in 2000, there were protests about the environment and Australian abOriginal rights. But the Beijing Games have generated more heat, in part because of an array of activist groups long critical of China's policies - and newer ones focused on its economic and diplomatic · clout "EverybOdy knows we're pretty much on the bi~gest platform you can ptck," Renner said. Sponsors were already on the lookout for controversy over Sudan, a diplomatic partner and Chinese oil supplier, as well as press freedom, human rights and Tibet. After protests last -week by Tibetans against Chinese rule - and 'Beijing's crackdown - sponsors said they were watching events closely. A few have turned to public relations specialists for advice, said a person familiar with the matter, who spoke on conditiOn of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue. Coca-Cola Co., Lenovo, McDonald's Corp. and others said th1s week they plan nu changes in strategy. • Likely to face immediate pressure could be Lenovo, Coca-Cola and Samsung, the three sponsors of the Olympic torch relay. The worldwide trek begms this month and will pass through Tibet and Uf! Mount Everest · Jiang Xiaoyu, executive vice president of the Beijing Olympics Organizmg Committee, or BOCOG, vowed Wednesday that the anti -government riots in Tibet last week and a subsequent crackdown by authorities would not disrupt plans for the torch relay "We know the Incidents are the last thing we want to,see, \ Corporate backing for the Games Money from the 12 companies in the Olympics' top tier of sponsorship aocounted tor more than 15 paroent of total revenue '" the past Olympic cycle.

Hoover's Online, th8 comparne, but we firmly believe that the government of the Tibet Autonomous' Region will be able ensure the stability of Lhasa and Tibet, and also be able to ensure the smooth going of the torch relay in Tibet," Jiang told reporters. Abroad; T1bet activists say they will -protest along the torch route in India, Bntam and elsewhere to · highlight complaints that Beijing is degrading the Himalayan region's distinctive Buddhist culture. "We have no plans ' to change any of our activities related to the torch relay," said Christine F. Lau, a CocaCola spokeswoman m Beijing. Samsung said in a 'statement: "We believe the Olympic Games are not the place for demonstrations and we hnpe that all people attending the games reco~­ nize the importance of this. ' International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge said Sunday the body is "very concerned" about Tibet. But the IOC insists it 1s not in a position to pressure China on political matters. The Olympics is both a premier advertising platform m the fast-growing China market and a chance for sponsors to build ties with Chinese officials by backing a nauonal prestige event. The companies are counting on the Olympics to raise their profile in Chma, increase the1r market share in the country, and attract local partners, and they want to avoid jeopardizing access by doing anything that might ~pset communist officmls. Licensmg in China is highly subjective, and Beijing has retaliated m the past for unwanted fore1gn actions by canceling contracts or restrictmg market access. Sponsor payments and other markeling revenues are . expected to·cover the games' o~rating costs, about $2. I billion - a tigure that does nut include spending on AF venues and public facilities. Until last week, the sponsors' biggest concern was pressure over Darfur. Fronted by actress Mia Farrow and employing disciplined pub! ic relations strategies, Darfur activists have been prodding sponsors to lobby Beijing to help pressure Sudan to end the conflict. Director Steven Spielberg withdrew as an artistic adviser to the games after pressure from Farrow, chairwoman of Dream for Darfur, which wants companies to lobby Beijing. It has warned China that it risks having its games remembered as the "genocide Olympics" and is issuing "report cards" to rate sponsors on their Darfur policies. Dream for Darfur issued a "report card" in June on sponsors and plans to issue an update this month. "The companies that get a C, D or F on this next report card will be the focus of our intensive activism between now and the games," said Jill Savitt, Dream for Darfur's executtve director. She said the group will picket their headquarters and appeal to TV v1ewers to turn off their commercials during the games. General Electric Co. scored highest at a C-plus in the earlier report, in part for donating medical equipment and Uld to UNICEF, while Savitt said 13 companies got failing gtades. "The violence and brutality committed against the people m the Darfur region is appalling," said Deirdre Latour, a GE spokeswoman, in an e-ma1L Still, she said, "It is not GE's role to use the games to influence government policy." In the top tier of sponsors are 12 companies that reportedly have ,paid at least $100 million each tu become Olympic Worldwide Partners. Lenovo, the only Chinese ' company among the 12, took into account possible activism · when it made its plans, said Robert J. Pa~e, the company's Olymp1cs public relations manager. "All of these potential considerations are taken mto the planning process," Page said. He declined to comment on violent scenarios, but said, "The potential for people to express their opinions IS certainly .somethmg we have taken into consideration, and we would work with BOCOG on anticipatmg." Lenovo hopes to use tpe Olympics to establish itself ·as a global brand following its 2005 acquisition of IBM Corp.'s personal computer unit. Asked whether the company worries abOut damage to its image, Page said, "That's not a concern at this point." ''There is no question that the Olympic Games are a powerful force for peace," Page said. "We beli.eve that the games will focus on all the good that is being brougllt to China, and we are · proud to support that" Coca-Cola, Adidas AG and Omega, a unit of Switzerland's Swatch Group. say they have talked privately to Beijing Olympics organizers. They declined to give details, but . a BOCOG employee said sponsors have asked for information on China's position on D:irfur and other sensitive issues. "They have held intimate discussmns with our sponsorship department to better understand the issues and how it may affect them," said the employee, who asked not to be identified further because she was not authorized to talk to reporters. "It's obviously a fine balancing act that every single Olympics encounters," said Michael Payne, a former IOC marketing director who now works as a consultant. 'The PR 'departments of each of the sponsors have got to be 1 sensible in how they respond." Robert A. Kapp, a former president of the U.S.-China Business Council, said it's possible that popular anger, particularly among Americans concerned . with human rights, may become so severe "that some companies may face a very hard decision as to whether their highly visible support of the Olympjcs is causmg so much damage that they need to reconsider their options." "I could imagine some companies ~oing back to their advertismg departments and external PR .adv1sers and seeing whether there are ways m which the company's pt;esence in support of the Olympics can be reviewed with an eye toward the~e , recent and tragic circumstances," Kapp said by telephone from Port Townsend, Wash. "There may be different ways of presenting messages that would still support the Olympics, (but) would not cause undue anger and disenchantment among the people of China or at the level of the Chinese government," he said.

After protests by Tibetans against Chinese rule- and Beijmg's crackdown- sponsors said they were watching events closely. Tibet protests puts pressure on·Olympics, sponsors, who don't want to anger China BY JoE McDoNALD ASSOCIATED PRESS BEIJING -McDonald's, Coca-Cola and other sponsors pa1d tens of millions of dollars to link their names with the Beijing Olymp1cs. Now they're trying to mollify activists pressing for change on Tibet, Darfur and other issues, without angering China. They have expressed concern over Tibet Some talk privately to Beijing organizers. Samsung Electronics Co. called off a Beijing news conference scheduled for Friday on the torch relay. But sponsors insist they should stay out of politics. "We all have to be careful about how we talk about this," said Chns Renner, president for Chma of sports marketing consulting firm Helios Partners. Its clients include sponsors Volkswagen AG, computer maker Lenovo Group am:) minmg giant BHP Billiton Ltd. The Olympics almost always attract activists interested in leveraging the popular event to publicize their causes. At the 1996 Atlanta Games, sponsors faced bOycott calls after a county where the beach volleyball event was to be held enacted a measure deemed anti-gay. In Sydney in 2000, there were protests about the environment and Australian abOriginal rights. But the Beijing Games have generated more heat, in part because of an array of activist groups long critical of China's policies - and newer ones focused on its economic and diplomatic · clout "EverybOdy knows we're pretty much on the bi~gest platform you can ptck," Renner said. Sponsors were already on the lookout for controversy over Sudan, a diplomatic partner and Chinese oil supplier, as well as press freedom, human rights and Tibet. After protests last -week by Tibetans against Chinese rule - and 'Beijing's crackdown - sponsors said they were watching events closely. A few have turned to public relations specialists for advice, said a person familiar with the matter, who spoke on conditiOn of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue. Coca-Cola Co., Lenovo, McDonald's Corp. and others said th1s week they plan nu changes in strategy. • Likely to face immediate pressure could be Lenovo, Coca-Cola and Samsung, the three sponsors of the Olympic torch relay. The worldwide trek begms this month and will pass through Tibet and Uf! Mount Everest · Jiang Xiaoyu, executive vice president of the Beijing Olympics Organizmg Committee, or BOCOG, vowed Wednesday that the anti -government riots in Tibet last week and a subsequent crackdown by authorities would not disrupt plans for the torch relay "We know the Incidents are the last thing we want to,see, \ Corporate backing for the Games Money from the 12 companies in the Olympics' top tier of sponsorship aocounted tor more than 15 paroent of total revenue '" the past Olympic cycle.

Hoover's Online, th8 comparne, but we firmly believe that the government of the Tibet Autonomous' Region will be able ensure the stability of Lhasa and Tibet, and also be able to ensure the smooth going of the torch relay in Tibet," Jiang told reporters. Abroad; T1bet activists say they will -protest along the torch route in India, Bntam and elsewhere to · highlight complaints that Beijing is degrading the Himalayan region's distinctive Buddhist culture. "We have no plans ' to change any of our activities related to the torch relay," said Christine F. Lau, a CocaCola spokeswoman m Beijing. Samsung said in a 'statement: "We believe the Olympic Games are not the place for demonstrations and we hnpe that all people attending the games reco~­ nize the importance of this. ' International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge said Sunday the body is "very concerned" about Tibet. But the IOC insists it 1s not in a position to pressure China on political matters. The Olympics is both a premier advertising platform m the fast-growing China market and a chance for sponsors to build ties with Chinese officials by backing a nauonal prestige event. The companies are counting on the Olympics to raise their profile in Chma, increase the1r market share in the country, and attract local partners, and they want to avoid jeopardizing access by doing anything that might ~pset communist officmls. Licensmg in China is highly subjective, and Beijing has retaliated m the past for unwanted fore1gn actions by canceling contracts or restrictmg market access. Sponsor payments and other markeling revenues are . expected to·cover the games' o~rating costs, about $2. I billion - a tigure that does nut include spending on AF venues and public facilities. Until last week, the sponsors' biggest concern was pressure over Darfur. Fronted by actress Mia Farrow and employing disciplined pub! ic relations strategies, Darfur activists have been prodding sponsors to lobby Beijing to help pressure Sudan to end the conflict. Director Steven Spielberg withdrew as an artistic adviser to the games after pressure from Farrow, chairwoman of Dream for Darfur, which wants companies to lobby Beijing. It has warned China that it risks having its games remembered as the "genocide Olympics" and is issuing "report cards" to rate sponsors on their Darfur policies. Dream for Darfur issued a "report card" in June on sponsors and plans to issue an update this month. "The companies that get a C, D or F on this next report card will be the focus of our intensive activism between now and the games," said Jill Savitt, Dream for Darfur's executtve director. She said the group will picket their headquarters and appeal to TV v1ewers to turn off their commercials during the games. General Electric Co. scored highest at a C-plus in the earlier report, in part for donating medical equipment and Uld to UNICEF, while Savitt said 13 companies got failing gtades. "The violence and brutality committed against the people m the Darfur region is appalling," said Deirdre Latour, a GE spokeswoman, in an e-ma1L Still, she said, "It is not GE's role to use the games to influence government policy." In the top tier of sponsors are 12 companies that reportedly have ,paid at least $100 million each tu become Olympic Worldwide Partners. Lenovo, the only Chinese ' company among the 12, took into account possible activism · when it made its plans, said Robert J. Pa~e, the company's Olymp1cs public relations manager. "All of these potential considerations are taken mto the planning process," Page said. He declined to comment on violent scenarios, but said, "The potential for people to express their opinions IS certainly .somethmg we have taken into consideration, and we would work with BOCOG on anticipatmg." Lenovo hopes to use tpe Olympics to establish itself ·as a global brand following its 2005 acquisition of IBM Corp.'s personal computer unit. Asked whether the company worries abOut damage to its image, Page said, "That's not a concern at this point." ''There is no question that the Olympic Games are a powerful force for peace," Page said. "We beli.eve that the games will focus on all the good that is being brougllt to China, and we are · proud to support that" Coca-Cola, Adidas AG and Omega, a unit of Switzerland's Swatch Group. say they have talked privately to Beijing Olympics organizers. They declined to give details, but . a BOCOG employee said sponsors have asked for information on China's position on D:irfur and other sensitive issues. "They have held intimate discussmns with our sponsorship department to better understand the issues and how it may affect them," said the employee, who asked not to be identified further because she was not authorized to talk to reporters. "It's obviously a fine balancing act that every single Olympics encounters," said Michael Payne, a former IOC marketing director who now works as a consultant. 'The PR 'departments of each of the sponsors have got to be 1 sensible in how they respond." Robert A. Kapp, a former president of the U.S.-China Business Council, said it's possible that popular anger, particularly among Americans concerned . with human rights, may become so severe "that some companies may face a very hard decision as to whether their highly visible support of the Olympjcs is causmg so much damage that they need to reconsider their options." "I could imagine some companies ~oing back to their advertismg departments and external PR .adv1sers and seeing whether there are ways m which the company's pt;esence in support of the Olympics can be reviewed with an eye toward the~e , recent and tragic circumstances," Kapp said by telephone from Port Townsend, Wash. "There may be different ways of presenting messages that would still support the Olympics, (but) would not cause undue anger and disenchantment among the people of China or at the level of the Chinese government," he said.

Fla .. Wednesday. It is the first night game to be played in the 85:year history of the nation's oldest spring training venue. Yankees beat· Pirates in first night game at McKechnie Field BRADENTON, Fla. (AP) - In the first night game at McKechnie Field, ByungHyun Kim gave up two late homers tp an old nemesis: the New York Yankees. The Pittsburgh Pirates' reliever was tagged for home runs by Nick Green and Chad Moeller in a fourrun eighth inning as· New York rallied.for a 12-9 victory Wednesday under new lights at the 85-year-old ballpark. Kim gave up three pivotal home runs to the Yankees while pitching for Arizona in the 2001 World Series, which the Diamondbacks won in seven games. This time, Green's homer came with a runner on and broke a 9-all tie. Moeller hit a solo shot. Kim was charged with four runs in . one inning while taking the loss. It }Vas the second time in less than . a week that Kim allowed two homers to the Yankees in an inning. Last Thurs,day in Tampa, Cody Ransom and Robinson Cano connected off the sidearmer. Kim, signed as a free agent ori Feb. 24, has allowed five home runs in four innings this spring. ; Jorge Posada went 3-for-4 with three RBis for the Yankees, including a two~ run homer off Morris. Bobby Abreu added two hits and two RBis. Nate McLouth, Ryarl Doumit and Chris Gomez homered for the Pirates. Pittsburgh second baseman Freddy Sanchez saw his first action in the field this spring as he played the first five innings. He had shoulder surgery last September. . "The shoulder felt OK, but it's not where it needs to be yet," Sanchez said. "The good thing is there was no pain ihere, not even any discomfort. It's just acase of it not feeling as strong .as it needs to be. The beauty of it is we still have time to get it right by ,opening day." · The frrst night game at McKechnie Field was originally scheduled for March .7 against Cincinnati but was rained out. "It was a really neat atmosphere. The crowd 'was really into it," Sanchez said. "It was fun." Don'tforget Easter Sunday is this weekend!
