Whether you want to sell, or just pnprove your home's value before you tap into your equity, here are five things experts suggest you consid-. er before calling your bank · l)r putting t!Je "for sale" sign on your lawn. , Make (inly renovations tbat count. Experts agree that the right renovations, especially bathrooms and kitchens, affect the mar)Letability of yqpr home . Bathrooms have become a Fo~?ular remodeling choice, and for good reason -they . have the highest rate of : return of any home addition · or home remodel. Real estate agents agree that a gleaming kitchen with state· of-die-art appliances, cork ·or hardwood flooring, stone countertop an~ lots of cupboard space can sell a house ihe instant a prospective buyer sees it. Conversely, a cramped, : ill-lit kitchen with outdated . linoleum and harvest gold appliances might actually ~care buyers away. : Improve what you'can'l renovate. If you can't afford · to renovate, update and - refresh key rooms instead. Replacing an old countertop, repainting cupboards and lvalls, and installing new door pulls and lighting make big improvements to your )litchen for a very modest price. Similar touches !Jlcrease the appeal of older. bathrooms, too. Fresh paint throughout your home is · imother low-cost, highreturn I?roject - it makes everythmg look cleaner and brighter, and buyers love a · house they won't have to redecorate immediately. PageD~ . (MS) -While many pevple homes that surrounds it, it is likely that the value of your home won't be realtzed when it comes time to sell. Do your home value homework. Many sites promising to give you the value of your home don't deliver, but at www.domania.com you can use their Value Check tool to get an . instant valuation from a real estate professional that · includes a value ran~e and neighborhood statis.ucs. If you· want to "value 11 yourself' at Domania, you can search through their database of 28 million historical home price records. Searching by price, by location or by address, you'll develop a better understanding of neighborhood trends - and if you look hard enough - what your neighbor paid for their house. different locales, then a second home might not be for you. • Look at dllfemat properties available. Just because ·you can affonl a second home doesn't mean you need one. Less expensive condos or timeshares can make you feel just as at home on a vacation and might be able to save you substantial amounts on property taxes, fees, etc. • Speak to an invt'Stment profe!fiional. If you're not currently in a position to afford a secood home but would like to be someday, consult a financial planner or advisor and tell him about your goals. If you' stay disciplined and start far enough in advance, you should be able to establish a plan wbere a second horne is less a dream and more a reality. • Know the tax laws. As mentioned earlier, your intentions with property can greatly affect the amount you'll be taxed or allowed to deduct Don't let these laws be a surprise.after you've bought your sec<ind home.

That's a perreption that is largely true, as approval for second home mortg~es is more difficult than for pnma1)' home mortgages. Also, higher do\fn payments on second homes are typically required, · as lenders look to protect themselves from borrowers who might be more prone to missing a payment on their vacation home than their primary resideoce. Still, for those in the position to afford and be approved for a second borne, the decision on .whether or not to do so is no slam dtmk. Rather, the following financial considerations should be taken into account before you go second home hunting. • Costs. Even though you won't be living in.the bouse the entire year, the tladitional costs that apply to your primary residence will still be there. F'IIIlliiCing fees, utility bills and pmpetty taxes, among other things, will all still apply. in_ addition, for those looking to rentouttheirsecondhomeduring periods of time they know they won't be using it, that can potentially prove more limiting financially. Oftentintes, renting the propeny out means you're no longer eligible for certain tax exemptions. • Compare 8lld contrast. While irs lilways nicer to own .your own place, is it really worth it for you? This can be determined with a simple examination of past vacation's receipts. How much do you typically shell ont in hotel or rental fees or other traditional vacation expenses such as food and beverages? If a second home makes financial sense in that regard. then you might be making the right decision getling a second home. However, for those who typically don't spend too much time on vacauon or would prefer to travel to II a and then selling it quickly for profit, those who are looking to get into the business of flipping would be wise to take a few precautions. For instance, before flipping your lirst · house, gam a greater understanding of the tax laws pertaining to real estate. Knowing these laws could end up saving you a bundle in tax dollars that could otherwise take a large chunk out of your potential flipping profits. Should· you complete a number of transactions in a small period of time (as many mvolved in flipping houses typically do), there is a strong chance you will be deemed to be m the real estate trade or business, meaniiJg you would be subject to both self-employment and traditional income tax, where you'll be taxed at 35 percent. A way around this, however, is to hold on to the property for longer than 12 months could even turn .II mto . (you ' rental property). Should you de.~ide to go this route, the property is viewed as a capital asset and will be taxed as a long-term capital gain, meaning you could pay as little as 15 percent in taxes. ' Fortunatdy, for those people looking to get into flip· ping houses, the practice has become so popular that an abundance of resources exist that can offer you advice or guidance on how to get started. In fact, the A&E cable network even has a weekiy program, "Flip This House," hosted by flipping vl!leran and real estate baron Richard C. Davis, which offers ·Viewers an inside look at the ins and outs of flipping houses. Though flipping has grown more popular and has become more widely known, such a growth has also led to greater restrictions, many of which come from developers who find it difficult to sell the community aspect of a new neighborhood if they're selling to buyers who intend to sell the homes in less than a year. With that in mind, many developers are now requiring buyers to sign agreements that mandate they will remain in the property for at least a year, making it more difficult for flip- · pers to turn quick profits.

However, Musharraf can ·also use the turbulence to :Convince VVashington, his Jcey backer, that he remains a :vital bulwark against extre mists in the Islamic world's only declared nuclear state. The U.S. national security adviser, Stephen Hadley, expressed concern Sunday about the threat from militants in Pakistan, but supported Musharraf's recent response. "He has a safe haven problem in an area of his country where Pakistan's central government has really not been present for decades or even generations. It is a problem for him," Hadley told CNN's "Late Edition." In a separate interview on the Fox news network Sunday, Hadley acknowledged that the United States had been dissatisfied with Musharraf's policies. "The action has at this point not been adequate, not effective," Hadley said. "He's doing more. We are urging him to do more, and we' re providing our full support to what he's contemplating." Abdullah Farhad, a militant spokesman, said the 10month-old cease-fire was bein$ terminated in North Wazuistan, a remote area on the Afghan border where the U.S. worries that al-Qaida has regrouped. He said Taliban leaders made the decision after the government failed to abide by their demand to withdraw troops from checkpoints by Sunday afternoon. He also accused authorities of launching atmcks and failing to compensate those harmed. 'The peace agreement has ended," Farhad told reporters in Peshawar, the capital of North West Frontier Province. The government deployed thousands of troops to restive areas of-the province in recent days in hopes of stemming a backlash to the storming of the radical Red Mosque, but they failed to protect themselves Sunday against suicide attacks and a roadside bomb which together killed 44 people and wounded more than 100. Two suicide bombers and a roadside bomb struck a military convoy in Swat, a mountainous area northeast of Peshawar; killing 18 people and wounding 47, a goverrunent official said, citing an official report being sent to Islamabad. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not · authorized to speak with the · media, said two explosiveladen vans driven rammed the convoy near the town of Matta. He said seven civilians also died. Bodies and the wounded were pulled from the shattered military vehicles. Helmets, an engine, and pieces of twisted metal were strewn over a wide area, some of it stained with blood. Television footage showed about half a dozen roadside houses also destroyed by the blasts.

More than 150 people were on the grounds of the . police headquaners when the bomber struck. Police said the bomber's head and suicide vest were found. On Saturday, at least 26 soldiers were killed and 54 wounded in a suicide car bombing north of Miran Shah, North VVaziristan's main town, the army said. Interior Minister Aftab Sherpao said the government was investigating whether, the attacks were related to the Red Mosque operation. Speaking ·on Pakistan's Geo television, he said militants had violated the VVaziristan deal by attacking government targets. Authorities would hold tribal leaders responsible, he said. Tensions are high in Pakistan after the mosque raid, which ended an eightday siege with a hard-line cleric and his militant supponers. More than I00 died during the standoff. The region along Pakistan's border with Afghanistan has seen increased acti vity by local militants, !he Taliban, and according to a recent U.S. assessment - ai-Qaida. One of the army's apparent targets is Maulana Fazlullah, a radical cleric who has pressed for Talibanstyle rule in Pakistan much like the leaders of !he Red Mosque. Fazlullah was accused of telling supponers to prepare for jihad, or holy war, to avenge the mosque assault. Intelligence officials in Swat say Fazlullah announced on an FM radio station Saturday night that he was fleeing Ito avoid arrest. and wounding 25, according to officials at the two hospitals where: the victims were taken .

"I rushed with others at site to see two burned corpses inside a car and wounded people." In northern Iraq, gunmen ambushed a convoy of border guards, killing six of them along with a civilian, a border guard commande( said. When reinforcements pulled in, another gtlard died in the clash, which took place in the Kani Khal area, 160 miles northeast of Baghdad, The commander said the Sunni extremist group Ansar al-Islam was believed to be behind the attack.

Among there were the wife and son of a city council chief, slain outside their home. The police officials and guard commander also spoke on fOndition of anonymity. · Nevertheless, Rear Adm. Mark Fox told reporters that the sweeps in Baghdad, to the south and in the city of Baqouba to the northeast had stemmed bloodshed in the capital.

Recent weeks appear to have brought a decrease m dramatic car bOmb attacks, though bombings still occur nearly daily. But according to figures gathered by The Associated Press, the daily rate of bodies found dumped in Baghdad - victims of sectarian slayings - has risen slightly so far this month from June. In the first 14 days of July, 301 bodies were found in Baghdad, or an average of nearly 22 a day, compared to 19 a day in June, when 563 bodies were found, according to AP figures, ~athered from daily reports by Iraqt police. Call of the wild: Urban mushers hitching up their dogs for warm-weather scootering BY NOAKI SCHWARTZ ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER COSTA MESA, Calif. Thousands of miles from the Alaskan wilderness, two huskies charge down a dusty path with their master in tow, shouting commands as foreign as snowflakes in this sunbaked part of the world. There's no sled under the feet of Raney Reyes, but he glides with ease as his hounds work up a lather pulling his two-wheeled scooter on winding dirt trails in a pru'k. In a city better known for its high-end indoor mall than high-energy outdoor activities, "urban mushing" has taken hold and people are comiqg from more than two hours away to participate. "I know plenty of Californians and nothing surprises me anymore," said Greg Sellentin, publisher of Alaska-based Mushing, the magazine of dog-powered adventure. Much has been altered in its warm weather translation, but urban mushing -or dog scootering - offers a call to the wild for canines, in contrast to an explosion of dog bakeries, day care centers and strollers that increasingly pamper pups. 'They' re basically in the den waiting to go hunt. They want to stan running and hunting," said urban musher Rob Fuechtenicht. "When .you hook them to the scooter, you're riding behind them and they're in this doggy nirvana kind of stage." MemberS of Dogs Across America, a national scootering group launched in 2005 , say their membership rolls have shot up particufarly in Texas, Washington and California. . A recent ,outing of the Southern California VVorking Snow Dogs included huskies, malamutes, dobermans and a dalmatian many of which had never put paw to snow. Other scootering groups boast photos of more unexpected breeds, incl ~ding standard poodles.

It is a problem for him," Hadley told CNN's "Late Edition." In a separate interview on the Fox news network Sunday, Hadley acknowledged that the United States had been dissatisfied with Musharraf's policies. "The action has at this point not been adequate, not effective," Hadley said. "He's doing more. We are urging him to do more, and we' re providing our full support to what he's contemplating." Abdullah Farhad, a militant spokesman, said the 10month-old cease-fire was bein$ terminated in North Wazuistan, a remote area on the Afghan border where the U.S. worries that al-Qaida has regrouped.

VVe have seen a significant drop in the number of civilians murdered in Bajlhdad, the overall levels of sectartan violence has decreased," he said, without providing figures . Recent weeks appear to have brought a decrease m dramatic car bOmb attacks, though bombings still occur nearly daily. But according to figures gathered by The Associated Press, the daily rate of bodies found dumped in Baghdad - victims of sectarian slayings - has risen slightly so far this month from June. In the first 14 days of July, 301 bodies were found in Baghdad, or an average of nearly 22 a day, compared to 19 a day in June, when 563 bodies were found, according to AP figures, ~athered from daily reports by Iraqt police. Call of the wild: Urban mushers hitching up their dogs for warm-weather scootering BY NOAKI SCHWARTZ ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER COSTA MESA, Calif. Thousands of miles from the Alaskan wilderness, two huskies charge down a dusty path with their master in tow, shouting commands as foreign as snowflakes in this sunbaked part of the world. There's no sled under the feet of Raney Reyes, but he glides with ease as his hounds work up a lather pulling his two-wheeled scooter on winding dirt trails in a pru'k. In a city better known for its high-end indoor mall than high-energy outdoor activities, "urban mushing" has taken hold and people are comiqg from more than two hours away to participate. "I know plenty of Californians and nothing surprises me anymore," said Greg Sellentin, publisher of Alaska-based Mushing, the magazine of dog-powered adventure. Much has been altered in its warm weather translation, but urban mushing -or dog scootering - offers a call to the wild for canines, in contrast to an explosion of dog bakeries, day care centers and strollers that increasingly pamper pups. 'They' re basically in the den waiting to go hunt. They want to stan running and hunting," said urban musher Rob Fuechtenicht. "When .you hook them to the scooter, you're riding behind them and they're in this doggy nirvana kind of stage." MemberS of Dogs Across America, a national scootering group launched in 2005 , say their membership rolls have shot up particufarly in Texas, Washington and California. . A recent ,outing of the Southern California VVorking Snow Dogs included huskies, malamutes, dobermans and a dalmatian many of which had never put paw to snow. Other scootering groups boast photos of more unexpected breeds, incl ~ding standard poodles.

LAW YOU CAN USE Know about varieties of Ohio automobile insurance coverage Q.: I have a driver's license. What else do I need to legally drive in the state of Ohio? A.: In order to legally drive in Ohio, you must show that you have met . the requirements of the Ohio "Financial Responsibility" law. Q.: What does the Ohio "Financial Responsibility " (FR) law require ? • A.: The FR law requires Ohio drivers to show that they can pay for injuries or damages they may cause to others if they are responsible for causing an accident. . ; · Q.: Must I buy automobile insurance to comply with the FR law? A.: Drivers usually comply :with FR law requirements by buying automobile insurance, but a driver aJso may comply by purchasing a financial responsibility bond. Bonds are issued by an authorized insurance company for a specific amount. Bonds are similar to automob!le insurance, but they do not provtde coverage for a particular vehicle. Instead, they cover only the p~rson name_d in the bond. Therefore, if you buy a financtal resl?onstbility bond to comply with the FR law, the bond wtll not protect any other driven who may cause an accident while driving your vehicle. . EXECUT..lVE . PRIVIlEGE.! .. , ! . Q.: What type of insurance must I buy? A.: Ohio law requires . dtivers to maintain liability insuranc¥ coverage for each automobile registe~ed _in the state. Liability insurance pays for claims that anse tf >:ou are responsible for injuring another person or damagmg another person's prop.erty while driving your vehicle. Currently, Ohio law requires drivers to carry a minimum of $12,500 in insurance coverage for each injured person, and a minimum of $25,000 for all persons injured in an accident. Additionally, you must carry a minimum $7,500 in insurance co-verage for damage you may cause to another's vehicle or other property. You may wish to buy more than th~ required limits of liability coverage. If the value of the mJunes or damages you cause is in excess of your liability limits, you could be held !Jersonally responsible for any excess amounts. Review your liability insurance limits and consider increasing your coverage, if necessary, to protect your personal assets. 't -etm... . . LETTERS TO THE EDITOR I Letters to the editor are welcome.

The drying up of the freeflowing cheap-debt spi'got has been battering the housing market for months, and it's now spilling over to other parts of the financial world, like leveraged takeovers . "There is no denying it It is ugly out there," wrote the influential credit-market watchers at Standard & Poor's Leveraged Commentary & Data. Now that buyout shops are struggling to get their debt-laden deals done, it could stall Wall Street's record-setting rise since stock investors have relied on takeover activity to drive up share prices. Same goes as companies face higher debt costs, which potentially could cri mp their profits, steer them away from heavily financed activities like stock buybacks and slow their hiring. As for housing , things have gone from bad to worse in recent days as credit-rating , agencies announced they will downgrade billions of dollars in b~nds bac~ed by risky subpnme home loans. Not only will that further tighten lending standards, but it is sure to rattle the large banks that supplied much of that debt. It will also hurt pension and mutual funds and other institutions that own those investments through securities issued as collateralized debt obligations. Of course, such a turn of events shouldn't come as a _surprise. Low interest rates and a global liquidity deluge made cheap borrowing a gluttonous affair, largely allowing anyone who needed financing - for homes, cars; corpo,rate takeov~rs and mote - to borrow wuh ease. Today's environment isn't all doom and· gloom yet, and there are few signs that we are descending into an economy-wide credit crunch. But certainly the party-like atmos phere is gone. Debt is quickly becoming more expensive, and everyone who wants access to it will feel that pinch. That's why the institutional loan traders cited in the S&P report sized up the current state of their market as a "meltdown."

' • I Q.: What. other types of insurance might I consider buying? A. : You may also choose to buy insu~~nce coverage to protect yourself in the event of an acc1dent. The most common types of optional coverage are Medical Payments Coverage, Col!ision Co~erage, Comprehensive Coverage and UmnsuredfUndennsured Motori sts Coverage. . Medical Payments Coverage pays for medical expenses; up to a specified amount, in~urred by you or yo~r passengers as the result of an. accrdent, no matter who ts at fault. Collision Coverage pay s for the costs to repair damages to your vehicle resulti~g- "fr~m a collision with another object (unless the colhs10n mvolves an ammal). Comprehensive (Other than Collision) Coverage pays for the cost to repair damages to your_v~htcle_ e1ther not caused by collision or caused by colhs10n wtth an ammal.

Undennsured Motorists Coverage (U IM) pays claims for injuries to you or your passen~ers if a driver without enough insurance hits you. Umnsurcd Motonsts Property Damage Coverage (UMDP) is also available in Ohio and protects you against losses resulttng m damage to your vehtcle caused by an uninsured driver. If you already have collision coverage, you do not have to buy UMPD coverage, si nce collision in surance pays for the same types of damage. In Ohio, you can only buy UMIUIMIUMPD Coverage up to the amount of li abi lity coverage you have purchased.

LAW YOU CAN USE Know about varieties of Ohio automobile insurance coverage Q.: I have a driver's license. What else do I need to legally drive in the state of Ohio? A.: In order to legally drive in Ohio, you must show that you have met . the requirements of the Ohio "Financial Responsibility" law. Q.: What does the Ohio "Financial Responsibility " (FR) law require ? • A.: The FR law requires Ohio drivers to show that they can pay for injuries or damages they may cause to others if they are responsible for causing an accident. . ; · Q.: Must I buy automobile insurance to comply with the FR law? A.: Drivers usually comply :with FR law requirements by buying automobile insurance, but a driver aJso may comply by purchasing a financial responsibility bond. Bonds are issued by an authorized insurance company for a specific amount. Bonds are similar to automob!le insurance, but they do not provtde coverage for a particular vehicle. Instead, they cover only the p~rson name_d in the bond. Therefore, if you buy a financtal resl?onstbility bond to comply with the FR law, the bond wtll not protect any other driven who may cause an accident while driving your vehicle. . EXECUT..lVE . PRIVIlEGE.! .. , ! . Q.: What type of insurance must I buy? A.: Ohio law requires . dtivers to maintain liability insuranc¥ coverage for each automobile registe~ed _in the state. Liability insurance pays for claims that anse tf >:ou are responsible for injuring another person or damagmg another person's prop.erty while driving your vehicle. Currently, Ohio law requires drivers to carry a minimum of $12,500 in insurance coverage for each injured person, and a minimum of $25,000 for all persons injured in an accident. Additionally, you must carry a minimum $7,500 in insurance co-verage for damage you may cause to another's vehicle or other property. You may wish to buy more than th~ required limits of liability coverage. If the value of the mJunes or damages you cause is in excess of your liability limits, you could be held !Jersonally responsible for any excess amounts. Review your liability insurance limits and consider increasing your coverage, if necessary, to protect your personal assets. 't -etm... . . LETTERS TO THE EDITOR I Letters to the editor are welcome.

The drying up of the freeflowing cheap-debt spi'got has been battering the housing market for months, and it's now spilling over to other parts of the financial world, like leveraged takeovers . "There is no denying it It is ugly out there," wrote the influential credit-market watchers at Standard & Poor's Leveraged Commentary & Data. Now that buyout shops are struggling to get their debt-laden deals done, it could stall Wall Street's record-setting rise since stock investors have relied on takeover activity to drive up share prices. Same goes as companies face higher debt costs, which potentially could cri mp their profits, steer them away from heavily financed activities like stock buybacks and slow their hiring. As for housing , things have gone from bad to worse in recent days as credit-rating , agencies announced they will downgrade billions of dollars in b~nds bac~ed by risky subpnme home loans. Not only will that further tighten lending standards, but it is sure to rattle the large banks that supplied much of that debt. It will also hurt pension and mutual funds and other institutions that own those investments through securities issued as collateralized debt obligations. Of course, such a turn of events shouldn't come as a _surprise. Low interest rates and a global liquidity deluge made cheap borrowing a gluttonous affair, largely allowing anyone who needed financing - for homes, cars; corpo,rate takeov~rs and mote - to borrow wuh ease. Today's environment isn't all doom and· gloom yet, and there are few signs that we are descending into an economy-wide credit crunch. But certainly the party-like atmos phere is gone. Debt is quickly becoming more expensive, and everyone who wants access to it will feel that pinch. That's why the institutional loan traders cited in the S&P report sized up the current state of their market as a "meltdown." The reference came as S&P, reporte<\ that a composite index tracking a group of loans considered to be the most liquid names in the market - fell to its lowest point in four years. Those looking to raise money to finance the recent private-equity deal s are getting a fronl-row view of the turbulence.

' • I Q.: What. other types of insurance might I consider buying? A. : You may also choose to buy insu~~nce coverage to protect yourself in the event of an acc1dent. The most common types of optional coverage are Medical Payments Coverage, Col!ision Co~erage, Comprehensive Coverage and UmnsuredfUndennsured Motori sts Coverage. . Medical Payments Coverage pays for medical expenses; up to a specified amount, in~urred by you or yo~r passengers as the result of an. accrdent, no matter who ts at fault. Collision Coverage pay s for the costs to repair damages to your vehicle resulti~g- "fr~m a collision with another object (unless the colhs10n mvolves an ammal). Comprehensive (Other than Collision) Coverage pays for the cost to repair damages to your_v~htcle_ e1ther not caused by collision or caused by colhs10n wtth an ammal.

Uninsured Motorists Coverage (UM) pays claims for injuries to y,ou and your passengers if a driver without in surance htts you. Undennsured Motorists Coverage (U IM) pays claims for injuries to you or your passen~ers if a driver without enough insurance hits you. Umnsurcd Motonsts Property Damage Coverage (UMDP) is also available in Ohio and protects you against losses resulttng m damage to your vehtcle caused by an uninsured driver. If you already have collision coverage, you do not have to buy UMPD coverage, si nce collision in surance pays for the same types of damage. In Ohio, you can only buy UMIUIMIUMPD Coverage up to the amount of li abi lity coverage you have purchased. You may not protect yourself with more coverage than you buy to protect other drivers . ., MEIGS COUNIY COURT NEWs POMEROY - Meigs County Court Steven L.

(A P), The city is struggling to recruit minority police officer cadets at a time when its percentage of black officers IS at the lowest level since the mid- 1980s, when the city was under a court order to improve minority hiring. About 13 percent of the department's 1,842 sworn police officers are black. In .J 988, 15 percent were black :__ the minimum level outlined by a federal judge. Meanwhile, the city's . black population grew from 22.5 percent in 1990 to 24.5 percent in 2000, according the U.S. Census Bureau. : Police officials worry their diversity problem could worsen with the upcoming retirement of black officers recruited dur1ng 1970s and 1980s. : "If we do have an onslaught of black officers retiring, I think it will be · difficult to recover," said S~t. ~ony Wil~~n · of the mmonty recruttmg umt.

Last week, Columbus beat Dallas, which had the top regular season record in the league. Georgia had the next best record. Nagy, who led the Force to the ArenaBowl two years ago, said it was an added bonus to 'beat his old team. Georgia traded him last year. "Whatever," he said. "This is my family now." Columbus took a 48-28 lead in the third quarter when Nagy connected with Damiim Groce for a 27 -yard touchdown. Groce finished with eight catches for 87 yards. But three straight onside kicks helped Georgia rally from the large deficit. Georgia's Chris Greisen got the comeback started with a 4-yard touchdown to Derek Lee.

Nagy .threw for five touchdowns and ran for two more, and Columbqs held off a late rally by the Georgia Force to wm the National Conference with a 66-56 victory on Saturday. The Destroyers (I 0·9) lost five straight games during the regular season but haven'tlost since . They will play the San Jose Sabercats, who beat the Chicago Rush 61-49, for the championship in New Orleans. "No one believed but us," said Nagy, who threw for 209 yards. "We beat the best teams record wise in the league . Some may say we're lucky. But we got hot at the right time and now we are going for a title.'.' Last week, Columbus beat Dallas, which had the top regular season record in the league. Georgia had the next best record. Nagy, who led the Force to the ArenaBowl two years ago, said it was an added bonus to 'beat his old team. Georgia traded him last year. "Whatever," he said. "This is my family now." Columbus took a 48-28 lead in the third quarter when Nagy connected with Damiim Groce for a 27 -yard touchdown. Groce finished with eight catches for 87 yards. But three straight onside kicks helped Georgia rally from the large deficit. Georgia's Chris Greisen got the comeback started with a 4-yard touchdown to Derek Lee. He hooked up with Chris Jackson for a 20yard passing score and tossed another to Lee to give the Force a 49-48 lead in the fourth . It was Georgia's first lejid of the game.

Tony Stewart is a winner again. And one day after a brief bYt intense lecture froin Joe Gibbs, Stewart s~ys h'is rift with teammate Denny Hamlin has been patched. Stewart won the NA SCAR Nextel Cup race at Chicagoland Speedway on Sunday, breaking a 20- · race winless streak that dated to last season and turning around what had otherwise been a tumultuous . week for the two-time series champion. Between the bad breaks that cost him possible victories earlier in the year and this week's high-profile feud with Hamlin, Stewart seemed more relieved than elated by the victory thoufo h he sti ll managed to climb the frontstretch fence Hamlin and Stewart spent in celebration. the week trading barbs in the The Nextel Cup series is media after the two teamoff next weekend, and mates wrecked at Daytona Stewart can't wait.

The franchise, born in 1883 as the Philadelphia Quakers and later ~:ail ed the Blue Jays in the mid-1940s, fell to 8,810-10,000. The Phillies avoided the inevitable milestone for three games, but . the Cardinals - the team that caught them 43 years ago for the NL pennant in one of the biggest collapses in baseball history - beat Philadelphia one more time. Earlier, a banner hung from the upper deck that read "10,000 is not in the Cards." Thms out, it was on this night. So the franchise that won only one World Series championship (1980) in J2.~ y'i,ars, has 14 seasons of 100-plus losses, and once lost 23 strai~ht games, now has the ugltest number of them all in a city way too familiar with losing.

Jose Reyes homered, Perez won in his return from the disabled li st and the Mets got another big hit from Lastings Milledge in a 5·2 victory Sunday over the Cincinnati Red s. Reyes connected for the second time in the series, helping the Mets take three of four from Cincinnati. The NL East leaders, who have won eight of I 0 ai home, remained l 1/2 games ahead of second-place Atlanta. " We 're going to get back to where we were last year when we ran away with it," Milledge said. Adam Dunn knocked out a scoreboard panel with a long home run for Cincinnati , which has lost 14 of 20 on the road. For the second day in a came row, Milledge through. The talented young outfielder, called up from Triple-A New Orleans on Thursday, doubled hom e two run s to cap a three-run second inning. On Saturday, he' hit a tiebreaking single in the eighth inning of a 2-1 WID . Milledge also homered and drove in two runs Friday, and dashed around the bases to score the ~o­ ahead run with a nifty shde in Thursday night's victory. 'T m getting the job done here," Mill edge said. "They 're giving me a chance to play and I'm going to take advantage until Moises (Alou) comes back." The Mets scored more than four runs for the fourth time in 12 games this month. Activated before the game, Perez (8-6) allowed two runs and six hits in six innings. He struck out six, winning for the second time in seven starts. He had been sidelined because of a stiff backsince his previous start June 26.

The lefty had won hts three prevtous starts by a combined score of 30-7. "I pttched bad," srud De La Rosa, addmg that he doesn't know how h& hurt his thumb "I had a lot of walks" During a spao of 13 batters from the ftrst inning until the fourth, no Royals player other than De La Rosa and catcher John Buck touched the baseball - as Stewart rromPageot arranged meeung "The good part ts, tt was fatrly short, because Joe can get long-wmded sometimes," Stewart said "But it was a great meetmg That's Joe G1bbs' strength, he :knows how to mollvate people and he knows how t,o keep a team atmosphere." Gtbbs was not present at 'the track Sunday, but his son, team prestdent J.D. Gtbbs, said Stewart and Flamhn got a ghmpse of Iiow G1bbs handles hts foot· ball team mstead of the more laid-back demeanor the coach usually carries through the NASCAR garage area. "He was a little more intense yesterday then he normally is m the racing world," Gibbs said. Stewart sa1d he and Hamlin worked well on the track Sunday, using hand s1gnals - no, not the Rrated kmd - to commumcale strategtes dunng the race • And, for the first time m a long time, Stewart finished the day in victory lane. It didn't hurt that DottoM 001 403 120 - U 12 2 110010103- 7 101 Vanandar, McBrlda (e), Minar (9) and Rabalo, IRodrlg\oaz (6), JfWaavar, the Indians got two homers, five walks and struck out six times. Kansas City scored twice with two outs in the fifth, helped by a throwing error by second baseman Josh Barfield, who threw away a potential inmng-ending double play Billy Butler followed with an RBI double and scored on a smgle by Ross Gload to make it 3- 2. "We had some opportuni· ties," Royals manager Buddy Bell said. "I thought their kid pttched welL He has good stuff We JUSt got beat " Gutierrez had an RBI Stewart's strongest competitor, Jimm1e Johnson, htl the wall with 45 laps remaining after his tire suddenly went flat. Johnson walked away Without any senous IOJHnes beyond a sore elbow, but 1t left his car mangled and ruined his chance at a victory. "We were deftmtely gomg to try hard," Johnson said. "We had a good shot at it." The acctdent jumbled pit strategies for the race leaders, most of whom only needed a splash of fuel to make it to the end when they pitied with 40 laps left Matt Kenseth pulled stdeby-side to challenge Stewart on the restart, but Stewart held him off until another cautwn flag came out for a crash by J J Yeley -the third Gibbs dnver20 laps later. Kenseth sa1d that was his only real chance to get past Stewart - but he nearly lost control of his car while making the move and backed off to finish second. "I had that one shot at htm, ,and I couldn't qmte fimsh the pass," Kenseth said Ken seth was glued to Stewart's back bumper when the race restarted with 18 laps to go - and Joe 10DAY'S MA.IOII L!AGUE LEAAMERICAN LEAGUE BAmNG-MOrdonez, Oetro1t, 358, ISuzukl, Seattle, 350, Polanco, DetrOit, 335, Jeter, New York, 333, Po8ada New York 330, VGuerrero. los Angeles 326; DCrtlz Boston, 323 RUN8-ARodrlguaz, Now York 83, Sheffield, Detroit, 82, Sizemore Cl..aland, 75, MOrdonoz, Detroit, 71 Granderson, OetroU 89, DeJesus Kansas City, 67, Rlol, Toronto, 64 RII-AAodrlguez New York, 87, VGuorrero, Los Angelos, 78; Momaau Mn,_ta, 78, MOrdonez, Detron, 75, VMartlnez, Clevellltld, 71 THunter, Mln,_ta, 71 CGulllen, Oatrott, 89 HITI-ISuzukl.

The conver. sation was private, but Dawson appeared to be pleased by what he heard. It can't be considered a major without complal:nts, and certainly there was griping on a sunny, lazy afternoon along the North Sea. "A bit too easy," David Frost said. · Frost played in the secondto-last group in the final round eight years ago, despite. opening with an 80. He wound up in a tie for seventh, finishing at I 0-over 294. He was among the few who found no problem with the tight fairways and rough on steroids. • He took far greater issue with a course where he could see his ball off the fairway even as he stood on the tee.
