"I don't think I have enough time in life," the San Francisco slugger said with a grin. "I like all count.nes. I like Mextco. I like Venezuela. I played there. I played in Puerto Rico, in the Domimcan. All those places." So how about Tokyo or thereabouts? "I'd go there and play for fun and have a good time. With what I've accomplished and what I'm doing, -it's not funny to say I'll go break the record in Japan." As often as Bonds changes his mind, for now he's sure of o~e thing: He plans to be in the majors next season at ~e 43. Where he' II pia¥ 1he has no idea. At the rate Yankees · star Alex Rodriguez is hitting home runs, Bonds probably figures he 'd better k~p adding to his total to ensure his record stands for years to come. "I'm not going to re-evaluate it. I'm playing," Bonds said in a recent interview. Still, there's a chance Bonds might reconsider -- or that it won't entirely be his choice. At times, he insists he would like to be a \lasebalJ intmortal, playing "till1' m I 00" and hitting home runs vvell into tlte future. Then there are days Bonds seems content with the idea of walking away from his game after 22 years witlt tlte career home run record in hand. His 17-year-old son, Nikolai, will be a high school senior this fall and playing sports. But Bonds doesn't consider himself quite done. "He ' II probably hit 800 home runs," teammate Rylllt Kleskp said. It's far from certain whether the Giants would want Bonds back for a 16th season, and some of the teams that would probably most interest him - the Los Angeles Angels, the DOdgers, San Diego or pemaps the Detroit Tigers under his former skipper Jim Leyland - may not have a need for an aging seven-time NL MVP who brings along allegations of steroid use and plenty of other baggage. Bonds might even need to make another surprise appearance at the winter meetings in December, searching for work. "It's like a mapc trick. You don't know the end,' Giants shortstop Omar Vizquel said. "Everything seems s0 ~at and you don't know what's gomg to happen at-.the end. Or, it's like a movie.'

Bonds and Giants management bickered in the offseason over contract issues. This big night was the main , owner Peter reason Magowan brought back the star left fielder for a 15th season in San Francisco, signing him to a $15.8 million, one-year contract. Bonds' once-rapid quest for the record had slowed in recent years as his age and · balky knees diminished his 20P7' 756 and beyond; need of becoming younger. Then, San Francisco went ahead and signed Bonds to a $15!8 pilllion, one-year deal and brought back many of the same faces to play around him: sec011d baseman Ray Dudtarn, third baseman Pedro Feliz, pinch-hitter Mark Sweeney. That likely won't be the case for next season. The formula hasn't worked and the Giants are in last place in the NL West with a roster featuring a strange mix of veterans and young players. It could wind up costmg general manager Brian Sabean his job, thouldl many believe the GM deserves a shot without having to worry about Bonds. There has even been talk the Giants could try to trade Bon,ds to a contender this season after he breaks Aaron's record of 755 home runs. But Bonds can't be dealt without his approval and would likely want a contrnct for 2008 to grant it. The most logical next step for the left fielder - . who has two tender knees and has lost a step on defense 2 despite being in much better health . - would seem to be a move to th~ American League as ~ designated · . , hitter. Yet Bonds didn't talk senously to · any AL clubs last offseason and has said be doesn 't particularly want to charige leagues. .

While steroids have tinged Bonds' pursuit, it was race that was the predorv.inant issue when Aaron broke Ruth 's mark in 1974.

Shuttle blasts off with-teacher aboard, ·. . . . . g out drea1n of Christa McAuliffe . . BY MARCIA DUNN M' AEROSPACE WRITER CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. Space shuttle Endeavour roared into orbit Wednesday carrying teacherastronaut Barbara Morgan, who was finally fulfilling the dream of Christa McAuliffe and the rest of the fallen Challenger crew. Endeavour and its crew of seven rose from the seaside pad at 6:36 p.m., right on time, and pierced a solidly plue sky. They are expected to reach the international space station on Friday. Once Endeavour was safely past the 73-second mark of the flight, the moment when Challenger exploded shortly after the call "Go at throttle up •." Mission Control exclaimed that Morgan was "racing toward space on the wings of a legacy." Immediately after the shuttle reached orbit, Control Mission announced: "For Barbara Morgan and her crewmates, class is in session." Morgan, now 55, was McAuliffe's backup for Challenger's doomed launch in 1986. Even after two space shuttle disasiers, she never swayed in her dedication to NASA and the agency's on-and-off quest to send a schoolteacher into space. She rocketed away in the center seat of the cabin's lower compartment, the same seat that had been occupied by McAuliffe. McAuliffe's mother, Grace Corrigan, watched the launch on TV from her home in Massachusetts. ."I'm very happy that it went up safely," she said. "We all send her our love," she added, her voice breaking. More than half of NASA's 114 Teacher-in•Space nominees in 1985 gathered at the launch site, along with hundreds of other educators. Also on hand was the widow of Challenger commander Dick Scobee.

The scan for damage from fuel-tank insulating foam and other debris from launch, or micrometeorites in space, has been standard procedure ever since Columbia's catastrophic reentry in 2003. A preliminary check of launch video showed four or five small pieces of debris falling off the external fuel tank, but it occurred too late in the launch to pose any threat to the shuttle, NASA officials said.

Dig tunnel death·. · BY PAULINE ARRILLAGA ~'~'NATIONAL WRITER HUNTINGTON, Utah Rescue crews clinging to a mountainside struggled Wednesday to drill two narrow holes - one just 2 1/2 inches across, the other less than 9 inches in a painfully slow effort to get air and food to six miners trapped in a cave-in. · Officials held out hope that the men survived Monday's thunderous collapse and that the emergency supplies would help keep them alive while other rescuers tried to punch their way through the rubble in the mine shaft and •bring them out. The smaller hole was 875 feet down Wednesday eveni~, rnore than halfway to it target, said Bob Murra , chairman of mine co-owner Murray Energy Corp. The larger drill was just 20 feet down Wednesday evening but was progressing faster and was expected to catch up, said Rob Moore, Murray Energy vice president.· Crews could break through in~~ hours or less, . the company said. "Obviously we're dealing with the unknown," Moore said. Equipment "has the potential of breaking down. We' re dealing with Mother Nature, but we have the expertise to make sure that the effort goes through until we reach the cavity." The rate of progress is "very, very good news," Murray said earlier. But it could take at least seven days to actually reach the men and bring them out, Murray said. The drilling of the relief holes involved boring an extraordinary 1,500 feet straight down, or 150 stories into the earth, through hard sandstone - a task that required precise alignment · of the drill and posed the constant risk of a broken bit. The smaller hole could be used to ferry a communications line into the shaft. The larger hole, being drilled with more accurate techno!ogy, could be used to move provisions to the workers. But two holes have to be drilled in case one is unsuccessful, Murray said. "It's very possible that when we drill down there,, ' and find the coal seam, we may have drilled into a solid block of coal rather than a cavity where the miners are," he said. Nothing has been heard from the men since the cave-in, not even the hammering on the ceiling that miners are trained to do in an emergency. Only one miner has been identified. The men range from one miner with three weeks on the job to others with I 0 years' experience, mine safety manager Bodee Allred saicj. "With a little help from God and a little luck, they'll get out," he said. Murray donned miner's gear, a hardhat with headlamp and rubber boots and entered the mine Wednesday, accompanied by the son and brother of two of the trapped men. His visit down below renewed his optimism that the miners could have enough oxygen to survive. "There was a tremendously strong ... amount of air where we were, " Murray said at an evening news conference, coal still · smudging his cheeks. "I belieye that is probably sweeping back in to where the miners are also." The parallel effort to clear a path inside the blocked mine suffered a major setback Tuesday when seismic shocks wiped out all progress in removing rubble. But the underground work resumed Wednesday to remove the fallen debris blocking a 2,000-foot passageway leading to the men. Machines were shuttling coal and rock oitt of the mine and then blocks of timber and steel props back in · to help shore up the structure. The task illustrated the specific dangers associated with the type of deep mining practiced in the West, where the terrain is rougher than in Appalachia and the coal mines are dug far, far deeper into the earth. Over the past few days,. the rescuers had to bulldoze 8,000 feet of road across the wilderness and use a helicopter to bring in heavy equipment. They had to balance their drilling rig on a 23-degree • mountainside. Then they had to begin boring 1,500 feet straight down. The circumstances made the rescue operation "extremely hard, one of the toughest we've had to deal with," said Allyn Davis, who oversees Western mine safety operations for the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration. The Cnindall Canyon mine is built into steep sandstone cliffs in the Manti-La Sal National Forest, 140 miles south of Salt Lake City. Murray led a truckload of journalists just outside the mine's entrance in a narrow canyon surrounded by the national forest. The 7-acre site was crowded by huge piles of coal, a rock crusher, conveyor belts, steel buildings, and stacks of timber and steel posts for use in shoring up mine shafts. The collapse early Monday sen.t "a huge gush of air" through the mine shafts, blowing apart the ventilation system, general manager Laine Adair said. . The shifting ground has increased the risk, Adair said. "It's extremely dangerous at this point, and I've seen a lot of danger," Adair said. The drillers had to be careful to keep the massive drill rig properly aligned while balancmg it on the. steep side of the mountain. "If y6u don't have it aligned properly, you're No .resolution for irresponsible parents BY KATHY MITCHELl.

Shuttle blasts off with-teacher aboard, ·. . . . . g out drea1n of Christa McAuliffe . . BY MARCIA DUNN M' AEROSPACE WRITER CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. Space shuttle Endeavour roared into orbit Wednesday carrying teacherastronaut Barbara Morgan, who was finally fulfilling the dream of Christa McAuliffe and the rest of the fallen Challenger crew. Endeavour and its crew of seven rose from the seaside pad at 6:36 p.m., right on time, and pierced a solidly plue sky. They are expected to reach the international space station on Friday. Once Endeavour was safely past the 73-second mark of the flight, the moment when Challenger exploded shortly after the call "Go at throttle up •." Mission Control exclaimed that Morgan was "racing toward space on the wings of a legacy." Immediately after the shuttle reached orbit, Control Mission announced: "For Barbara Morgan and her crewmates, class is in session." Morgan, now 55, was McAuliffe's backup for Challenger's doomed launch in 1986. Even after two space shuttle disasiers, she never swayed in her dedication to NASA and the agency's on-and-off quest to send a schoolteacher into space. She rocketed away in the center seat of the cabin's lower compartment, the same seat that had been occupied by McAuliffe. McAuliffe's mother, Grace Corrigan, watched the launch on TV from her home in Massachusetts. ."I'm very happy that it went up safely," she said. "We all send her our love," she added, her voice breaking. More than half of NASA's 114 Teacher-in•Space nominees in 1985 gathered at the launch site, along with hundreds of other educators. Also on hand was the widow of Challenger commander Dick Scobee. She said earlier in the day that she would be praying and pacing at liftoff and· would · not relax until Morgan was safely back on Earth in two weeks. The Challenger · crew "would be so haPP.Y with · Barb.a ra Morgan, ' June Scobee Rodgers said. "It's important that the lessons will be taught because there's a nation of people Wlliting, still, who remember where they were when we wst the Challenger and they remember a teacher was aboard."

The scan for damage from fuel-tank insulating foam and other debris from launch, or micrometeorites in space, has been standard procedure ever since Columbia's catastrophic reentry in 2003. A preliminary check of launch video showed four or five small pieces of debris falling off the external fuel tank, but it occurred too late in the launch to pose any threat to the shuttle, NASA officials said. NASA is hoping a successful flight will draw some attention away from the rash of embarrassments it has· faced this year, most recently a NASA-commissioned medical panel's report sug~esting astronauts were mtoxicated on launch day on at least two occasions. · Gritfm said NASA is investigating the anonymous allegations. The space agency's top safety official has gone back I 0 years through every shuttle flight and can find no flight surgeon, astronaut or document hinting at launch day drinking by a crew member, he said. No evidence has been found yet for astronaut drinking right before a Russian Soyuz flight, either, he said. • "This is hot a credible scenario. They're on TV. We just watched them having breakfast," Griffin said early Wednesday afternoon, referring to the Endeavour astronauts. "The charges seem uncredible, and it a.Iso seems uncredible that somebody would just make it up. That's why tt' s so puzzling and that's why it's serious and that's why we will investigate." This · is Endeavour's first flight since 2002. The shuttle underwent a massive overhaul and was outfitted with complete satellite navigat!on, improyed m~in engme monttonng equtpment, and a new system for transferring power from the station to the shuttle. The extra power will allow the shuttle to remain docked at the space station longer than ever before. · Besides Morgan and commander Kelly, the crew also includes Marine Lt. Col.

Dig tunnel death·. · BY PAULINE ARRILLAGA ~'~'NATIONAL WRITER HUNTINGTON, Utah Rescue crews clinging to a mountainside struggled Wednesday to drill two narrow holes - one just 2 1/2 inches across, the other less than 9 inches in a painfully slow effort to get air and food to six miners trapped in a cave-in. · Officials held out hope that the men survived Monday's thunderous collapse and that the emergency supplies would help keep them alive while other rescuers tried to punch their way through the rubble in the mine shaft and •bring them out. The smaller hole was 875 feet down Wednesday eveni~, rnore than halfway to it target, said Bob Murra , chairman of mine co-owner Murray Energy Corp. The larger drill was just 20 feet down Wednesday evening but was progressing faster and was expected to catch up, said Rob Moore, Murray Energy vice president.· Crews could break through in~~ hours or less, . the company said. "Obviously we're dealing with the unknown," Moore said. Equipment "has the potential of breaking down. We' re dealing with Mother Nature, but we have the expertise to make sure that the effort goes through until we reach the cavity." The rate of progress is "very, very good news," Murray said earlier. But it could take at least seven days to actually reach the men and bring them out, Murray said. The drilling of the relief holes involved boring an extraordinary 1,500 feet straight down, or 150 stories into the earth, through hard sandstone - a task that required precise alignment · of the drill and posed the constant risk of a broken bit. The smaller hole could be used to ferry a communications line into the shaft. The larger hole, being drilled with more accurate techno!ogy, could be used to move provisions to the workers. But two holes have to be drilled in case one is unsuccessful, Murray said. "It's very possible that when we drill down there,, ' and find the coal seam, we may have drilled into a solid block of coal rather than a cavity where the miners are," he said. Nothing has been heard from the men since the cave-in, not even the hammering on the ceiling that miners are trained to do in an emergency. Only one miner has been identified. The men range from one miner with three weeks on the job to others with I 0 years' experience, mine safety manager Bodee Allred saicj. "With a little help from God and a little luck, they'll get out," he said. Murray donned miner's gear, a hardhat with headlamp and rubber boots and entered the mine Wednesday, accompanied by the son and brother of two of the trapped men. His visit down below renewed his optimism that the miners could have enough oxygen to survive. "There was a tremendously strong ... amount of air where we were, " Murray said at an evening news conference, coal still · smudging his cheeks. "I belieye that is probably sweeping back in to where the miners are also." The parallel effort to clear a path inside the blocked mine suffered a major setback Tuesday when seismic shocks wiped out all progress in removing rubble. But the underground work resumed Wednesday to remove the fallen debris blocking a 2,000-foot passageway leading to the men. Machines were shuttling coal and rock oitt of the mine and then blocks of timber and steel props back in · to help shore up the structure. The task illustrated the specific dangers associated with the type of deep mining practiced in the West, where the terrain is rougher than in Appalachia and the coal mines are dug far, far deeper into the earth. Over the past few days,. the rescuers had to bulldoze 8,000 feet of road across the wilderness and use a helicopter to bring in heavy equipment. They had to balance their drilling rig on a 23-degree • mountainside. Then they had to begin boring 1,500 feet straight down. The circumstances made the rescue operation "extremely hard, one of the toughest we've had to deal with," said Allyn Davis, who oversees Western mine safety operations for the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration. The Cnindall Canyon mine is built into steep sandstone cliffs in the Manti-La Sal National Forest, 140 miles south of Salt Lake City. Murray led a truckload of journalists just outside the mine's entrance in a narrow canyon surrounded by the national forest. The 7-acre site was crowded by huge piles of coal, a rock crusher, conveyor belts, steel buildings, and stacks of timber and steel posts for use in shoring up mine shafts. The collapse early Monday sen.t "a huge gush of air" through the mine shafts, blowing apart the ventilation system, general manager Laine Adair said. . The shifting ground has increased the risk, Adair said. "It's extremely dangerous at this point, and I've seen a lot of danger," Adair said. The drillers had to be careful to keep the massive drill rig properly aligned while balancmg it on the. steep side of the mountain.

Today's Highlight in History: · On Aug. 9, 1945, three days after the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, Japiln, the United States exploded a nuclear device over Nagasaki, killing ·an estimated 74,000 people. On this date: • In 1842, the U.S. and Canada resolved a border dispute by signing the Webster-Ashburton Treaty. In 1848, the Free-Soil Party convened in Buffalo, N.Y., where it nominated Martin Van Buren for president.

"Equity investors should not ignore the message from fixed-income markets," Bernstein said. "The rationing of credit · means equity investors should discontinue their speculation regarding takeovers and LBOs." The fast-deflating merger mania is hitting the stock market hard. The Dow industrials have tumbled more than 700 points, or nearly 5 percent, since hitting records July· 19, while the S&P 500 stock index is off about 7 percent since then. Macy's, an S&P 500 component, has been taking a beating in recent weeks after its 13 percent share-price surge from late May through mid-July on rumors that tlie department store chain could fetch as much as $52 a share. That would have been a 20 percent premium over the $43 a share price the stock had soared to last month. It now tmdes around $33 a piece. Also suffering in today's volatile market is casino operator MGM Mirage, which had been considered a possible takeover target after billionaire investor Kirk Kerkorian's Tracinda Corp. backed away from a plan to buy two of its properties. The stock has dropped 16 percent since July 6. While many big stocks are getting battered, the smaller ones are having an even tougher time since they were considered particularly attrac- 9fAHL€f$- live for acquisitions. 1bat is reflected in the Russell 2000 Index's slump: After shooting up 8 pen:ent this year through July 13, it has plunged nearly 12 percent since. In a recent report to clients entitled "Can stocks grow without the LBO," Ciligroup small- and mid-<:ap strategist Lori Calvasina points out that a "downward move in deal numbers has typically been problematic for small-cap stock prices." The stress on the merger market is also showing up in the deals that are getting done. Applebee's International Inc. is facing some shareholder resistance for its proposed $25.50 per share acquisition by pancake house operator IHOPCorp. That offer price is more than a 4 percent premium over Applebee's closing price of $24.38 before the July 16 announcemeot of the acquisition. Its shares currently trade arowid the same price. Some investors think they deserve more, and research firm Friedman, Billings, Ramsey Group Inc. said the offer was a lower ·valuation than the recent average buyouts of larger public restaurant companies. But at least Appl~bee's investors could walk away with a little more change in theil: pockets. Most other shareholders won't, for now. Lyons Bush think emergency room visits get paid for? Clue: For uninsured, working families, a broken arm may involve collection agencies and salary liens. Serious illnesses often require bankruptcy and coin-collection jars in convenience stores. Hospitals, meanwhile, keep closing emergency rooms because they're huge financial liabilities. The standard Republican answer is that Moore's a fat guy. He also dresses badly, ha;; no respect for his betters and takes cheap shots at easy targets like insurance companies that deny coverage to cancer patients because their applications neglected to mention yeast infections, or because no 22-year-old could possibly have cervical cancer regardless of test results, or because their policy says on page 42, note 13b, subsection iii, that patients born under the astrological sign of Gemini are ,ineligible under a full moon. I made that last bit up, but the first two are right out of ''Slcko." • See, Moore's movie isn't even about uninsured Americans. It's mostly about people who think they've got insurance until they really need it, when tl1ey often find themselves trapped in a bureaucmtic nightmare that tumor." And have I mentioned that Moore, besides being a fat slob, is also very annoying? GOP presidential candidate Gov. Mike Huckabee thinks Moore should try pmyer and fasting before talking about health issues. News bulletin: Huckabee can eat bushels of celery and run two marathons every week. He's still going to get old and sick. And somebody 's going to have to pay the bill. If Huckabee's lucky, it'll be Medicare, America's social. ized health insurance for the elderly. , See, if you're over 65, it's almost like living in Canada or Great Britain, two countries with universal government health insurance. Could "Sicko" have found Canadians or Brits to complain about some aspect of their care? Certainly. Reforming national health is a perennial issue in British politics.

Cash. In the emergency room, incidentally. Fact is, with doctors, patients, hospitals and insurance companies locked in constant bureaucratic warfare, the U.S. system is terribly inefficient. The Brits get better medical outcomes on 40 percent of what Americans spend per capita. France does even better. Don't tell GOP front-runner Rudy Giuliani. Announcing his own reform plan (hint tax cuts for the well-to-do), Rudy repeatedly denounced Democratic proposals as "socialized medicine." Yeah, well, in most of America (especially in New York City), we already have socialized water, sewage, trash collection, police and ftre departments, highways, public schools, libraries, parks, airports, universities, even medical schools.

"Equity investors should not ignore the message from fixed-income markets," Bernstein said. "The rationing of credit · means equity investors should discontinue their speculation regarding takeovers and LBOs." The fast-deflating merger mania is hitting the stock market hard. The Dow industrials have tumbled more than 700 points, or nearly 5 percent, since hitting records July· 19, while the S&P 500 stock index is off about 7 percent since then. Macy's, an S&P 500 component, has been taking a beating in recent weeks after its 13 percent share-price surge from late May through mid-July on rumors that tlie department store chain could fetch as much as $52 a share. That would have been a 20 percent premium over the $43 a share price the stock had soared to last month. It now tmdes around $33 a piece. Also suffering in today's volatile market is casino operator MGM Mirage, which had been considered a possible takeover target after billionaire investor Kirk Kerkorian's Tracinda Corp. backed away from a plan to buy two of its properties. The stock has dropped 16 percent since July 6. While many big stocks are getting battered, the smaller ones are having an even tougher time since they were considered particularly attrac- 9fAHL€f$- live for acquisitions. 1bat is reflected in the Russell 2000 Index's slump: After shooting up 8 pen:ent this year through July 13, it has plunged nearly 12 percent since. In a recent report to clients entitled "Can stocks grow without the LBO," Ciligroup small- and mid-<:ap strategist Lori Calvasina points out that a "downward move in deal numbers has typically been problematic for small-cap stock prices." The stress on the merger market is also showing up in the deals that are getting done. Applebee's International Inc. is facing some shareholder resistance for its proposed $25.50 per share acquisition by pancake house operator IHOPCorp. That offer price is more than a 4 percent premium over Applebee's closing price of $24.38 before the July 16 announcemeot of the acquisition. Its shares currently trade arowid the same price. Some investors think they deserve more, and research firm Friedman, Billings, Ramsey Group Inc. said the offer was a lower ·valuation than the recent average buyouts of larger public restaurant companies. But at least Appl~bee's investors could walk away with a little more change in theil: pockets. Most other shareholders won't, for now. Lyons Bush think emergency room visits get paid for? Clue: For uninsured, working families, a broken arm may involve collection agencies and salary liens. Serious illnesses often require bankruptcy and coin-collection jars in convenience stores. Hospitals, meanwhile, keep closing emergency rooms because they're huge financial liabilities. The standard Republican answer is that Moore's a fat guy. He also dresses badly, ha;; no respect for his betters and takes cheap shots at easy targets like insurance companies that deny coverage to cancer patients because their applications neglected to mention yeast infections, or because no 22-year-old could possibly have cervical cancer regardless of test results, or because their policy says on page 42, note 13b, subsection iii, that patients born under the astrological sign of Gemini are ,ineligible under a full moon. I made that last bit up, but the first two are right out of ''Slcko." • See, Moore's movie isn't even about uninsured Americans. It's mostly about people who think they've got insurance until they really need it, when tl1ey often find themselves trapped in a bureaucmtic nightmare that tumor." And have I mentioned that Moore, besides being a fat slob, is also very annoying? GOP presidential candidate Gov. Mike Huckabee thinks Moore should try pmyer and fasting before talking about health issues. News bulletin: Huckabee can eat bushels of celery and run two marathons every week. He's still going to get old and sick. And somebody 's going to have to pay the bill. If Huckabee's lucky, it'll be Medicare, America's social. ized health insurance for the elderly. , See, if you're over 65, it's almost like living in Canada or Great Britain, two countries with universal government health insurance. Could "Sicko" have found Canadians or Brits to complain about some aspect of their care? Certainly. Reforming national health is a perennial issue in British politics.

Calvin Neyland Jr., 43, of Findlay, Ohio, was driving the cab in the hotel parking lot, headed toward the exit, when police closed in and arrested him without incident about three hours after · the shooting, said Sgt. Geoffrey Kovenich of the Monroe County sheriff's office in Michigan. The officers drove up in unmarked vehicles and Neyland, who had checked into the hotel earlier, "didn't know they were there," Kovenich said. "All he said was, ' I was going to turn myself in,' · and, ' The gun's in the door." ' sheriff's Sgt. Rick Galimberti said. Police receive d a tip that a semitrailer cab parked outside the hotel mi g ht be linked to the 3 p.m. shooting at Liberty Transportation in Perrysburg Township, about seven miles southeas t of Toledo, Kovenich said.

Police· in Michigan had not charged Neyland, Kovenich said. It wasn't immediately clear if Neyland had an attorney. Police in Ohio said they were interviewing witnesses and have not determined a motive for ihe shooting. Names of the victims were not released, and no one else was injured, said Detective Sgt. Robert Gates of Perrysburg Township police. It was 'unclear how Neyland obtained the semitrailer cab or if he worked for the company, Gates said. The company is in an isolated industnal complex bordered· on one side by soybean fields. The victims had been working inside the building, Gates said, but he would not say where they were shpt. Yellow police tape surrounded the metal warehouse-type building and dri veway, and several small evidence markers were placed outside the building 's main entmnce.

Many people were awakened by the quake and some people sc reamed " Allah akbar!" or "God is great!" as they ran outside.

The quake also was felt in parts of Malaysia, said Don Blakeman, a geophysicist at· the USGS National Earthquake Information Center in Golden, Colo. None of th~ instruments closest to the earthquake indicated that a tsunami was triggered, said Robert Cessaro. a geophysicist at the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii .

Calvin Neyland Jr., 43, of Findlay, Ohio, was driving the cab in the hotel parking lot, headed toward the exit, when police closed in and arrested him without incident about three hours after · the shooting, said Sgt. Geoffrey Kovenich of the Monroe County sheriff's office in Michigan. The officers drove up in unmarked vehicles and Neyland, who had checked into the hotel earlier, "didn't know they were there," Kovenich said.

Robert Gates of Perrysburg Township police. It was 'unclear how Neyland obtained the semitrailer cab or if he worked for the company, Gates said. The company is in an isolated industnal complex bordered· on one side by soybean fields. The victims had been working inside the building, Gates said, but he would not say where they were shpt.

Powerful earthquake shakes buildings in Indonesian capital Bv ROBll\1 McDOWELL ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER JAKARTA, Indonesia A powerful earthquake under the Java Sea rattled Indones ia 's capital early Thursday, violently shak. ing tall buildings and se nding panicked residents into the streets. There were no immedi ate reports o f damage. and geophy; icists said there was little ri sk of a tsunami. The quake. which struck at 12:04 a.·m. (I :04 p.m. EDT W~dnesday) had a prelimi · nary magnitude of 7.5 and was centered about 65 miles east of Jakarta at a depth in the Earth of 180 miles, the U.S. Geological Survey said. Residents said tall buildings and single story homes . shook violently in the city of 9 million people, and water sloshed from swimming pools. Many people were awakened by the quake and some people sc reamed " Allah akbar!" or "God is great!" as they ran outside. EI-Shinta radio reported that the quake could be felt from Sumatra island in the west to Bali to the east, but that there were no immediate reports of damage. The quake also was felt in parts of Malaysia, said Don Blakeman, a geophysicist at· the USGS National Earthquake Information Center in Golden, Colo. None of th~ instruments closest to the earthquake indicated that a tsunami was triggered, said Robert Cessaro. a geophysicist at the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii . He added that there were no instruments "very close" to the quake 's epicenter. " Because this earthquake was so far below the ocean . bottom, it didn't trigger a .t s unam ~ or cause 'a lot of 'J damage," said John Bellini, another USGS geophy sicist. The Dec. 26, 2004, earthquake that triggered the tsunami off the coast of Sumatra and killed more than 131 ,000 in Indonesia's Ache pro vi nee was only 18 miles deep, according to the USGS . "The earthquake center in 2004 was close enough that it actuall ~ ruptured the surface of the sea lloor, which caused a tsunami," Bellini said. "This one was felt by people on the ground, ·and it shook buildings, but it was too dee p to cause the ocean bottom to move." • • �• Bl The Daily Sentinel Inside \ NFL notebook, Page 82 Chicago heats Tribe in 13, Page 83 Gaudio to succeed Prosser at WF, Page 84 Page A8 • The .

A day after his most remarkable triumph yet, Barry Bonds had no cap. And he already was late for the team photo. "I don't have a hat," the slugger said . loudly, moments before rushing from the clubhouse to right field to take the picture. "I need a hat." On cue, longtime Giants equipment manager Mike Murphy scurried across the grass to deliver the necessary item to No. 25. With his 756th home run out of the way and the most hallowed record in sports now his own, Bonds could ·finally turn his attention to more than hitting homers. Bonds was in the lineup Wednesday night, batting cleanup and playin~ left field against the Washmgton Nationals - and he stepped it and hit another one during his first at-bat. He received a warm stand· ing ovation when he ran out to his spot in left for the first inning and tipped his hat and waved before blowing on his hands to get warm on another cool summer night in the Giants ' ballpark by the bay when first-pitch temper. ature ·was 62 degrees. . Bonds smiled and nodded his head to some fans on his way to the on-deck circle in the first, then wasted no time adding to his record total. No. · 757 was a two-run shot into McCovey Cove. In Please see Bonds, 12 SAN FRANCISCO The all-time hit king remains banned from the game he loves and makes his living signing autographs in Las Vegas. The new· home run king owns a record, but not many hearts outside San Francisco. Baseball was once a game that glorified the likes of Lou Gehrig and · Joe DiMaggio. But Joltin' Joe has left and gone away. Nearly a decade ago, Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa· were the game's conquering heroes, big men who could swat the ball .out of the park with seeming impunity. Now they are discredited, one already initially denied entrance to the Hall of Fame and the other tacing some big questions when h1s turn comes on the ballot. Pete Rose was the best singles hitter ever but never will be in Cooperstown because he liked to bet on games involving his team. And the steroid cloud that hovers over Bonds everywhere he goes could cost him his place in baseball's most hallowed shrine. . The day after one of the greatest records in sports was broken, a nation was left wondering where all its sports heroes had gone. A city ce lebrated Tuesday night when Bonds hit home run No. 756 to break Aaron's all-time mark, and Aaron himself was gracious enough to pass along the crown. albeit via a salute taped weeks earlier. But commissioner Bud Selig stayed away, and baseball was deliberately wary about a slugger who may spend time in a federal prison before he spends time in Cooperstown. "I don't know what they would do if they found out he did steroids. What could they do?" Rose told The Associated Press on Wednesday. " If (steroids investigator) George Mitchell comes back with concrete evidence, what could he do? It's just a strange situation. I believe anybody in baseball who breaks any rules. anybody, not just ~ar!)' Bonds, they have to penalize. I broke the rules, and I've been suspended 18 years." Even President Bush kept his distance on the histone night, waiting until Wednesday to call Bonds to offer his,&aogratulations. It didnl have to be this way. Bontls already was a great player and a sure pick to join his godfather, Willie ' Mays, in the Hall before he defied the trend of virtually every player who has ever set foot on a fie Id and became a lot better as he got a lot older. And that, says Hall of Fame pitcher Dennis Eckersley, might be the cruelest irony of alL "This guy is probably one of the greatest players to ever play, and he got greed)!," Eckersley· said. "It Please see History, 13 Finally in, Q~ to jump into Browns' quarterback competition BY TOM WITHERS AP SPORTS WRITER BEREA - Brady Quinn didn't have to sweat out this wait wearing a threepiece suit. . Eve.n then, it was every bit as agonizing as draft day. Hours after the quarterback ended his 11-day training camp holdout by sil;lning a five-year, $20.2 nullion contract with the Cleveland Browns, Quinn said he understands that nothing not a starting job or suppm1 from teammates or fans will be handed to him . "Believe me, I don't deserve anything." he said Wednesday. 'T think I have to earn a lot with the coaching staff hut alsb with the team. But that's just something that you have to understand coming into it. especially as a rookie." Quinn, though, is confident he'l l be starting at some point during his first >eason as a pro. "Without a doubt," he said . Quinn, who squirmed in his backstage seat at New York's Radio City Music Hall for hours waitmg to be drafted in April before finally being picked by the Browns ~t No. 22, expressed frustration at not bemg m camp while negotiations between the team and his agent, Tom Condon, crawled along. The sides first began talks in May. but didn't make anY. significant progress unttl last weekend. Quinn worked out in Arizona while the sides haggled over guaranteed money and salary escalators in the final years of the incentivefilled package. He can earn a maximum of $30 million if he becomes the franchise QB the Browns have longed for. Quinn's first foray into the NFL's business side wasn' t a pleasant experience for the 22-year-old. "It's awful," he said. "You grow up loving the game that you've played and all of a sudden you're told you can't come in unless you sign a contract. To sit out from playing the game that you love for that long is horrible. "It's nice just to be an offi. cia! member of the Browns."

A day after his most remarkable triumph yet, Barry Bonds had no cap. And he already was late for the team photo. "I don't have a hat," the slugger said . loudly, moments before rushing from the clubhouse to right field to take the picture. "I need a hat." On cue, longtime Giants equipment manager Mike Murphy scurried across the grass to deliver the necessary item to No. 25. With his 756th home run out of the way and the most hallowed record in sports now his own, Bonds could ·finally turn his attention to more than hitting homers. Bonds was in the lineup Wednesday night, batting cleanup and playin~ left field against the Washmgton Nationals - and he stepped it and hit another one during his first at-bat. He received a warm stand· ing ovation when he ran out to his spot in left for the first inning and tipped his hat and waved before blowing on his hands to get warm on another cool summer night in the Giants ' ballpark by the bay when first-pitch temper. ature ·was 62 degrees. . Bonds smiled and nodded his head to some fans on his way to the on-deck circle in the first, then wasted no time adding to his record total. No. · 757 was a two-run shot into McCovey Cove. In Please see Bonds, 12 SAN FRANCISCO The all-time hit king remains banned from the game he loves and makes his living signing autographs in Las Vegas. The new· home run king owns a record, but not many hearts outside San Francisco. Baseball was once a game that glorified the likes of Lou Gehrig and · Joe DiMaggio. But Joltin' Joe has left and gone away. Nearly a decade ago, Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa· were the game's conquering heroes, big men who could swat the ball .out of the park with seeming impunity. Now they are discredited, one already initially denied entrance to the Hall of Fame and the other tacing some big questions when h1s turn comes on the ballot. Pete Rose was the best singles hitter ever but never will be in Cooperstown because he liked to bet on games involving his team. And the steroid cloud that hovers over Bonds everywhere he goes could cost him his place in baseball's most hallowed shrine. . The day after one of the greatest records in sports was broken, a nation was left wondering where all its sports heroes had gone. A city ce lebrated Tuesday night when Bonds hit home run No. 756 to break Aaron's all-time mark, and Aaron himself was gracious enough to pass along the crown. albeit via a salute taped weeks earlier. But commissioner Bud Selig stayed away, and baseball was deliberately wary about a slugger who may spend time in a federal prison before he spends time in Cooperstown. "I don't know what they would do if they found out he did steroids. What could they do?" Rose told The Associated Press on Wednesday. " If (steroids investigator) George Mitchell comes back with concrete evidence, what could he do? It's just a strange situation. I believe anybody in baseball who breaks any rules. anybody, not just ~ar!)' Bonds, they have to penalize. I broke the rules, and I've been suspended 18 years." Even President Bush kept his distance on the histone night, waiting until Wednesday to call Bonds to offer his,&aogratulations. It didnl have to be this way. Bontls already was a great player and a sure pick to join his godfather, Willie ' Mays, in the Hall before he defied the trend of virtually every player who has ever set foot on a fie Id and became a lot better as he got a lot older. And that, says Hall of Fame pitcher Dennis Eckersley, might be the cruelest irony of alL "This guy is probably one of the greatest players to ever play, and he got greed)!," Eckersley· said.

Eve.n then, it was every bit as agonizing as draft day. Hours after the quarterback ended his 11-day training camp holdout by sil;lning a five-year, $20.2 nullion contract with the Cleveland Browns, Quinn said he understands that nothing not a starting job or suppm1 from teammates or fans will be handed to him . "Believe me, I don't deserve anything." he said Wednesday. 'T think I have to earn a lot with the coaching staff hut alsb with the team. But that's just something that you have to understand coming into it. especially as a rookie." Quinn, though, is confident he'l l be starting at some point during his first >eason as a pro. "Without a doubt," he said . Quinn, who squirmed in his backstage seat at New York's Radio City Music Hall for hours waitmg to be drafted in April before finally being picked by the Browns ~t No. 22, expressed frustration at not bemg m camp while negotiations between the team and his agent, Tom Condon, crawled along. The sides first began talks in May. but didn't make anY. significant progress unttl last weekend. Quinn worked out in Arizona while the sides haggled over guaranteed money and salary escalators in the final years of the incentivefilled package. He can earn a maximum of $30 million if he becomes the franchise QB the Browns have longed for. Quinn's first foray into the NFL's business side wasn' t a pleasant experience for the 22-year-old. "It's awful," he said. "You grow up loving the game that you've played and all of a sudden you're told you can't come in unless you sign a contract. To sit out from playing the game that you love for that long is horrible. "It's nice just to be an offi. cia! member of the Browns." Quinn missed the team's four-day rookie orientation program and then 16 practices before finally gettmg a call from Condon, who told him to pack his bags and get on the next fli ght to Cleveland. When Condon called, Quinn was talking with Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis, who offered his for· mer star some advice. "I told him whal he had to do with the coaching staff and man agement I told him what he had to do with the players and I told him what he had to do with the fans." Weis said.

Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin didn't seem worried about his quanerback. "I' m sure .he's fine," Tomlin said. The Steelers didn't offer any more information, am;! they didn't appear concerned that Roethlisberger would be limited during practice Thursday or migbt not play in Saturday's exhibition game against Green Bay. Roethlisberger usually ends ·practice by signing autographs and chatting with fans. but he left the field immediately in a cart apparently to have the foot checked. Chukky Okobi, competing at center with fomter Tampa Bay lineman Sean Mahan, dropped to the turf in J?ain with an apparent back inJury several minutes after Roethlisberger did. The team did not say if Okobi was injured. . "He went down with a lot of pain and discomfort bull don't expect anything long term," Tomlin said. Two regulars, running back Willie Parker (knee) and guard Alan Faneca (shoulder), were held out and apparently won't play Saturday. Parker also missed Sunday's 20-7 preseason New victory against Orleans. when Faneca's sho)llder injury occurred. "Willie has inflammation of the knee, and usually that takes I 0 to 14 days and we're about 11 to 12 days into it now, so we're coming toward the end," Tomlin said. "Alan's in a similar sit.uation with his shoulder, and we'll give him a few days to see if that thing calms down and we'll take it day by day." · Buccaneers Mike Alstott walked off the field at the end of last season, wondering whether he had played his final NFL game: The veteran fullback's role in Tampa Bay's offense has diminished in recent years, so he wasn't sure if he still fit into the Buccaneers plans -or even if he wanted to return for a 12th season. "When you are on a one year at a time contract you neve~ know whafs going to happen . You never know what direction they are going to want to go in or what direction you're going to want to go in," Alstott said. "But after sitting back for a couple of weeks, I knew that fire was still burning inside me - that I wanted to play football and I can play footbalL" So, he's back and sweating through another training camp. . The Bucs went 4-12 last season, the club's worst finish since Alstott was a rookie in 1996, and the 33-yearold six-time Pro Bowler thinks he can help the team get back on track. "I've been doing this since I was 7 years old, so I couldn't imagine not being here right now. And, ii's going to be a hard transition sometime down the road when I decide not to be here." Bronc:os Champ Bailey, owner .of . 19 interceptions over the last two seasons, is hard to impress. But the Denver defensive star is dazzled by second-year receiver Domenik Hixon, who missed his entire rookie season with a broken foot. "I' II tell you what, man, he's a ~uy that we could have used last year," Bailey said. "He's got great ability, great talent.

History . from PageBl wasn 't good enough to be great. How great do you have to be?" The numbers prove how great Bonds is, just as numbers defme most every player who has ever played tl)e game. But in Bonds' case they also raise questions. He never hit 50 home runs a year before he became associated with the infamous BALCO lab and suddenly set a new season record by hitting 73 out of the park in 200 I. From the age of 35 on, a time when alriiost every athlete hegins losing his liming and power, Bonds hit 311 of his 756 home runs.

There 's little doubt many players were users - includmg Clay Hensley, who gave up the tying 755th home run in San Diego but Lapchick said there is also little doubt that Bonds did somethin!l to make himself grow stronger at an age where muscles begin to deteriorate. "I don't see how it's possible there will be some events that come out that he had not used. I know sports fans and media people and people in baseball don't think. that will ever happen," Lapchick said. "I think he will be viewed with this cloud in his lifetime and forever."

Unfonunately for Bonds, that's not his call. Baseball writers ultimately will decide his place in history and his place in the Hall of Fame. And- if their thumbsdown vote on Mark McGwire last year is any indication, there's a chance he could join Rose and McGwire on the outside looking in. Gambling cost Rose his spot in Cooperstown, which was seemi~ly assured when he broke ·ty Cobb's record and went on to set a mark of 4,256 hits that may never he challenged. While Bonds' supporters argue that he has never tested positive for steroids, as far as we know, Rose was kept out of the Hall and out of the game even before he admitted he bet on baseball while managing the Cincinnati Reds in the 1980s. ·Bonds may never be tried in a court of law, but the coun of public opinion has aJready spoken. While there was jubilation in San . Francisco when he broke the record and some cheers in San Diego when he tied it, the boos lately have come heavy and often in every ballpark Bonds has traveled to.

Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin didn't seem worried about his quanerback. "I' m sure .he's fine," Tomlin said. The Steelers didn't offer any more information, am;! they didn't appear concerned that Roethlisberger would be limited during practice Thursday or migbt not play in Saturday's exhibition game against Green Bay.

Chukky Okobi, competing at center with fomter Tampa Bay lineman Sean Mahan, dropped to the turf in J?ain with an apparent back inJury several minutes after Roethlisberger did. The team did not say if Okobi was injured. . "He went down with a lot of pain and discomfort bull don't expect anything long term," Tomlin said. Two regulars, running back Willie Parker (knee) and guard Alan Faneca (shoulder), were held out and apparently won't play Saturday.

"Willie has inflammation of the knee, and usually that takes I 0 to 14 days and we're about 11 to 12 days into it now, so we're coming toward the end," Tomlin said. "Alan's in a similar sit.uation with his shoulder, and we'll give him a few days to see if that thing calms down and we'll take it day by day." · Buccaneers Mike Alstott walked off the field at the end of last season, wondering whether he had played his final NFL game: The veteran fullback's role in Tampa Bay's offense has diminished in recent years, so he wasn't sure if he still fit into the Buccaneers plans -or even if he wanted to return for a 12th season. "When you are on a one year at a time contract you neve~ know whafs going to happen . You never know what direction they are going to want to go in or what direction you're going to want to go in," Alstott said. "But after sitting back for a couple of weeks, I knew that fire was still burning inside me - that I wanted to play football and I can play footbalL" So, he's back and sweating through another training camp. . The Bucs went 4-12 last season, the club's worst finish since Alstott was a rookie in 1996, and the 33-yearold six-time Pro Bowler thinks he can help the team get back on track.

The right-hander had to leave his July 28 start in Chicago after only one inning because of lowerback pain. He missed his next scheduled start, giving him time to recover. Although he felt fine during workouts. the Reds kept an extra relief pitcher around in part because they weren't sure how Harang's back would react when he got on the mound again.

History . from PageBl wasn 't good enough to be great. How great do you have to be?" The numbers prove how great Bonds is, just as numbers defme most every player who has ever played tl)e game. But in Bonds' case they also raise questions. He never hit 50 home runs a year before he became associated with the infamous BALCO lab and suddenly set a new season record by hitting 73 out of the park in 200 I. From the age of 35 on, a time when alriiost every athlete hegins losing his liming and power, Bonds hit 311 of his 756 home runs.

There 's little doubt many players were users - includmg Clay Hensley, who gave up the tying 755th home run in San Diego but Lapchick said there is also little doubt that Bonds did somethin!l to make himself grow stronger at an age where muscles begin to deteriorate. "I don't see how it's possible there will be some events that come out that he had not used.

Unfonunately for Bonds, that's not his call. Baseball writers ultimately will decide his place in history and his place in the Hall of Fame.

(AP) - Dino Gaudio has taken over for Skip Prosser before. More than two decades. ago, Gaudio replaced Prosser at a parochial high school in West Virginia and eventually led that team to a state title. On Wednesday, Wake Forest chose Gaudio to again take Prosser's place, this time to replace his late mentor in the cutthroat Atlantic Coast Conference. "Just like this situation, he left me good players," Gaudio said. "Following him was a terrific tribute. He laid the foundation, set the table and it all worked out, and I hope the same thing happens here." Wake Forest athletic director Ron Wellman, who signed Gaudio to a five-year contract, praised the 50-year-old Gaudio for· his stren¥th during the .two weeks of grievmg that followed Prosser's July 26 death from an apparent heart attack. While making such a long-term commitment to a coach with a career record of 68-124 might appear unusual, Wellman said he never considered hiring an interim coach. "That is the worst-case scenario for a coach to be in," Wellman · said. "What you're saying is that you' re a lame duck. And how you coach is after every (game), the players start thinking you're a lame duck. ... That was not an option that I was interested in whatsoever. "Quite frankly, I expect that to be the first contract (of many) for Dino," he said. He declined to discuss the value of Gaudio's deal, as is the practice at the pri vale school. The speedy hire also appeared aimed at emphasizing stability and continuity to a recruiting class that's ranked as one of the nation's best. Among the commitments are forward Al-Farouq Aminu of Norcross, Ga. (ranked No. 3 nationally by Scout.com), and center Ty Walker of Wilmington (ranked No. 14 by the service). ''The best way I can say it is, I feel really excited about this year, and I feel really, really, really excited about the next four years," Gaudio said, taking care not to break NCAA rules banning coaches from discussing high school players. "I think that's all I' m allowed to say." Dave Telep, basketball recruiting editor for Scout.com, said Gaudio's promotion was key for the pro~ram to begin healing after Prosser s death. · "From a recruiting perspective, the only move that could unify their present roster and give them the best chance of maintaining their three commitments was to hire somebody from within," he said. "I'm sure it was a difficult decision because that staff is loaded with high-character guys, and I don't thjnk anybody on that staff thought of themselves as above another gut' Wellman outltned his search plans during a meeting with current staff members last Friday, the day before Prosser's burial in Cincinnati. "My priority was to secure a basketball coach that would do the things that they had laid the follndation for," Wellman said. A nearly four-hour interview with Gauliio on Monday led Wellman to strongly consider him that night, and a day later he final- A'P photo Newly named Wake Forest coach Dino Gaudio receives a hug from Ma~ Cook, a longtime Demon Deacon fan Wednesday In Winston-Salem, N.C.

"Nobody is going to be more tlriven, more motivated to complete the task that we set out a few years ago," Gaudio said. "We'll make certain that what we started, we're · going to finish ." • Sophomore point guard Ishmael Smith said the players were relieved that Gaudio was promoted, because there was a lingering worry about having to learn the new systems and schemes of an unfamiliar leader. "Coach would want us to keep fighting , keep pushing, put this behind us and move on with coach Gaudio," Smith said. Prosser and Gaudio first paired up in 1980-81 at a Catholic school in the northern panhandle of West Virginia. The native of Yorkville, Ohio, took over the program at tiny Wheeling Central in 1984-85 after Prosser left to join Xavier's staff, and a year later, won a state championship with future Tulsa Beijing begins 1-year countdown to 2008 Olympics with dancers, fireworks in Tiananmen Square BY STEPHEN WADE AP SPORTS WRITER BElJING As fireworks exploded over Tiananmen Square on Wednesday night, a troupe of 200 youthful singers on a glittering stage below belted out the theme song to mark the one-year countdown for the Beijing "We Are Olympics: Ready." · Make that almost ready.

Prosser and Gaudio reunited in 1987 under Pete Gillen at Xavier and stayed together until 1993, wheil Prosser took the head job at Loyola of Maryland and Gaudio accepted a similar position at Army. Gaudio went 36-72 in four seasons with the Black Knights before moving to Loyola of Maryland, where he was 32-52 before he resigned in 2000. He rejoined Prosser at Xavier in 2000-0 I, and the two moved to Wake Forest together the follow ing season. · Prosser 's death following a midday jog stunned the college basketball world and left Wake Forest's close-knit campus in di~belief. "I have a very heavy heart in how this opportunity presented itself," Gaudio said. "You know how much Skip meant to me. · He was my best friend, he was my mentor, he's the one 1 turned to for advice, and he always looked out for me. Maybe he's looking out for me right now." An example of how close the two were: Gaudio was nervous Tuesday night when calling Prosser's mother to tell her he would take over for her son. He shouldn't have worried. "She was like, 'Terrific!' She was excited, and she made me feel so good," Gaudio said.

On Tuesday nill'tl in San Francisco, the Gtants' outfielder hit his 756th career home run, breaking Hank Aaion's record of755. "You've always been a great hitter and you broke a great record," Bush told Bonds on the phone, according to White House spokesman Tony Fratto. In a Fox News interview later, Bush noted the speculation about whelher steroids or other performance-enhancing · drugs tainted the title. Bonds has denied knowingly using performance -enhancing drugs. . ''There is a lot of speculation about Barry Bonds, and my only advice for people is to just let history be the judge," Bush said during the interview. "Let's find out the facts, and then everybody's opinion - one way or !he other- will be verified or not verified." If it's later proven that a lot of Bonds' strength came from drug use, Bush said, there will be a lot of disappointed peo- pte. "Baseball and the baseball writers will have to make the determination as to whether or not he would receive the~­ est accolade of all, whtch would be to be admitti:d into the baseball Hall of Fame," Bush said. Would Bonds' record have an asterisk beside it? "It really depends· on what the facts are, and it's going to be up to them to make the determination as to asterisk, but more importantly, it will be the Hall of Fame," Bush said. 'That'll be the ultimate decision p<)int for the baseball writers. In the meantime, anybody who knows the game will tell you, Barry Bonds is a great hitter." · Bush said he loved baseball, but was "dead set" against steroids. "I think it's bad for the game," he said. In his State of the Union address in 2004, Bush called for a crackdown on steroids. "I put it in there, because it's part of a larger context, and that is, how we behave as adults will influence how children behave," Bush said. "And I was very concerned that it would be vtewed as OK to use steroids if you are a high school kid or a junior high kid. And it's not. It'll hurt your body."

SHOP CLASSIFIEDS �Page B4 • The Daily Sentinel Thursday, August 9. 2007 www.mydailysentinel.com Wake Forest chooses assistant Dino Gaudio to succeed Prosser • Thursday, August 9, 2007 m:rthune - Sentinel - l\e • i WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) - Dino Gaudio has taken over for Skip Prosser before. More than two decades. ago, Gaudio replaced Prosser at a parochial high school in West Virginia and eventually led that team to a state title. On Wednesday, Wake Forest chose Gaudio to again take Prosser's place, this time to replace his late mentor in the cutthroat Atlantic Coast Conference. "Just like this situation, he left me good players," Gaudio said. "Following him was a terrific tribute. He laid the foundation, set the table and it all worked out, and I hope the same thing happens here." Wake Forest athletic director Ron Wellman, who signed Gaudio to a five-year contract, praised the 50-year-old Gaudio for· his stren¥th during the .two weeks of grievmg that followed Prosser's July 26 death from an apparent heart attack. While making such a long-term commitment to a coach with a career record of 68-124 might appear unusual, Wellman said he never considered hiring an interim coach. "That is the worst-case scenario for a coach to be in," Wellman · said. "What you're saying is that you' re a lame duck. And how you coach is after every (game), the players start thinking you're a lame duck. ... That was not an option that I was interested in whatsoever. "Quite frankly, I expect that to be the first contract (of many) for Dino," he said. He declined to discuss the value of Gaudio's deal, as is the practice at the pri vale school. The speedy hire also appeared aimed at emphasizing stability and continuity to a recruiting class that's ranked as one of the nation's best. Among the commitments are forward Al-Farouq Aminu of Norcross, Ga. (ranked No. 3 nationally by Scout.com), and center Ty Walker of Wilmington (ranked No. 14 by the service). ''The best way I can say it is, I feel really excited about this year, and I feel really, really, really excited about the next four years," Gaudio said, taking care not to break NCAA rules banning coaches from discussing high school players. "I think that's all I' m allowed to say." Dave Telep, basketball recruiting editor for Scout.com, said Gaudio's promotion was key for the pro~ram to begin healing after Prosser s death. · "From a recruiting perspective, the only move that could unify their present roster and give them the best chance of maintaining their three commitments was to hire somebody from within," he said. "I'm sure it was a difficult decision because that staff is loaded with high-character guys, and I don't thjnk anybody on that staff thought of themselves as above another gut' Wellman outltned his search plans during a meeting with current staff members last Friday, the day before Prosser's burial in Cincinnati. "My priority was to secure a basketball coach that would do the things that they had laid the follndation for," Wellman said. A nearly four-hour interview with Gauliio on Monday led Wellman to strongly consider him that night, and a day later he final- A'P photo Newly named Wake Forest coach Dino Gaudio receives a hug from Ma~ Cook, a longtime Demon Deacon fan Wednesday In Winston-Salem, N.C.

"Nobody is going to be more tlriven, more motivated to complete the task that we set out a few years ago," Gaudio said. "We'll make certain that what we started, we're · going to finish ." • Sophomore point guard Ishmael Smith said the players were relieved that Gaudio was promoted, because there was a lingering worry about having to learn the new systems and schemes of an unfamiliar leader. "Coach would want us to keep fighting , keep pushing, put this behind us and move on with coach Gaudio," Smith said. Prosser and Gaudio first paired up in 1980-81 at a Catholic school in the northern panhandle of West Virginia. The native of Yorkville, Ohio, took over the program at tiny Wheeling Central in 1984-85 after Prosser left to join Xavier's staff, and a year later, won a state championship with future Tulsa Beijing begins 1-year countdown to 2008 Olympics with dancers, fireworks in Tiananmen Square BY STEPHEN WADE AP SPORTS WRITER BElJING As fireworks exploded over Tiananmen Square on Wednesday night, a troupe of 200 youthful singers on a glittering stage below belted out the theme song to mark the one-year countdown for the Beijing "We Are Olympics: Ready." · Make that almost ready. The city's filthy air, which International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge warned . could force the rescheduling of some events, is an embarrassment for the most expensive and . anticipated Olympics in a generation.

The unavailable to the average athletes also have great Chinese. expectations and they are By co inciderce, all looking forward to competing in the state-ofthe-art Beijing venu es," Rogge added . The timing of th e ceremony - lhe eighth day of the eighth month at 8 p.m. - wa s · specially chosen : Eight is considered an auspicious number in Chinese because it rhymes with the word for "prosper." China's government has been efficient in building venues . Except for th e iconic " Bird's Nest" National Stadium , all of the 37 venues are to be fin ished by the etid of 2007 . Venue constru ction has eaten up only a part of the $40 billion being spenl on new subway lines and skyscrapers to remake th e capita!. ,, There hav e been few delay s, and the $2.1 billion operating budge t has been offset by the vast revenues expected from TV contracts and sponsorships. That has allowed attention to focu s on Beijing's c hoking pollution, campa ign s to "c ivilize" the city and the ri sks involve d for China's go ve rnment. Although billions of dolIars have been spe nl . to move refineries and steel mills out of town to help slem pollution , thi s can ' t neutrali ze franti c cons tru etion and car sales. Officials are al so ho ping to cont rol th e haze by manipulating th e weather. Meteorologi sts began te stfiring rockets 10 di sperse rain clo uds last month - a mov e to glfrantee sun - shine. They ' ve also tested rockets containing sticks of si lver iodide to induce air-cleansing rain . "They've told us the factories will be closed for three months in 2008 and that they will have a directive to encourage residents to stay off the roads with their cars ," said Steyen Roush, chief of sport per· forman,ce for the U.S. Olympic Committee. Like other national Olympic s bodies, the USOC is monitoring the quality of Beijing's air, laden with ozone, dust and exhaust from some aging vehicles . Image is important with 550,000 foreign visitors and about 22,000 accredited media set to attend. In addition, up to 10,000 nonaccredited journalists are expected. Old habits , such as spitting in public, jumping ahead in line and littering, are under siege in various campaigns aimed at improving street etiquette . Everyone - from taxi drivers to Olympic volunteers - is being pressured to learn some English. Revenu e from local sponsorship is expected to be about $1 .5 billion , at least double thai of Sydney or Athens . Billions more will be spent on advertising and promotional campaigns. Although many athletes wil l eat specialized diets provided by their own teams, Olympic organizers al so have promised to track food electronically from th e field to the consumer. The state-run China Dai ly newwaper reported recently th at mice will be used to test food samples. The bi gge st security threat - to the Chinese government - may come not from al-Qaida but from protesters hoping to highlight causes such as labor rights or China's rol e in the Darfur crisis . Other protests may center on Tibetans who seek autonomy, reli gious activists, and calls for media fre edom and th e release of political pnsoners. "Great achievement is always accompani ed by · great challenges ," said Jiang Xiaoyu , an organi zin g committee exec uti ve vice pre sident. "While lhe Beijing Olympic s are a great opportunity, we are also confronted with huge challen ges." assistant Dave Wojcik as his point guard. "He's very organized, he's very detailed, he'll get after those kids," Wojcik said. "He is a disciplinarian, but he 'll let them play.... He relates well to the kids, and I think that's a big strength of his." Prosser and Gaudio reunited in 1987 under Pete Gillen at Xavier and stayed together until 1993, wheil Prosser took the head job at Loyola of Maryland and Gaudio accepted a similar position at Army. Gaudio went 36-72 in four seasons with the Black Knights before moving to Loyola of Maryland, where he was 32-52 before he resigned in 2000. He rejoined Prosser at Xavier in 2000-0 I, and the two moved to Wake Forest together the follow ing season. · Prosser 's death following a midday jog stunned the college basketball world and left Wake Forest's close-knit campus in di~belief. "I have a very heavy heart in how this opportunity presented itself," Gaudio said. "You know how much Skip meant to me. · He was my best friend, he was my mentor, he's the one 1 turned to for advice, and he always looked out for me. Maybe he's looking out for me right now." An example of how close the two were: Gaudio was nervous Tuesday night when calling Prosser's mother to tell her he would take over for her son. He shouldn't have worried. "She was like, 'Terrific!' She was excited, and she made me feel so good," Gaudio said. "I said, 'Grandma Jo, you're still in this family, and I stilL need your advice.n• I Bush congratulates Bonds"' on breaking home run record WASHINGTON (AP) President Bush on Wednesday called to congratulate Barry Bonds, the new home rul) king, but didn 't weigh in on the steroids controversy surrounding the slugger's smash' ing of the major lea~ue record. On Tuesday nill'tl in San Francisco, the Gtants' outfielder hit his 756th career home run, breaking Hank Aaion's record of755. "You've always been a great hitter and you broke a great record," Bush told Bonds on the phone, according to White House spokesman Tony Fratto. In a Fox News interview later, Bush noted the speculation about whelher steroids or other performance-enhancing · drugs tainted the title. Bonds has denied knowingly using performance -enhancing drugs. . ''There is a lot of speculation about Barry Bonds, and my only advice for people is to just let history be the judge," Bush said during the interview. "Let's find out the facts, and then everybody's opinion - one way or !he other- will be verified or not verified." If it's later proven that a lot of Bonds' strength came from drug use, Bush said, there will be a lot of disappointed peo- pte. "Baseball and the baseball writers will have to make the determination as to whether or not he would receive the~­ est accolade of all, whtch would be to be admitti:d into the baseball Hall of Fame," Bush said. Would Bonds' record have an asterisk beside it? "It really depends· on what the facts are, and it's going to be up to them to make the determination as to asterisk, but more importantly, it will be the Hall of Fame," Bush said. 'That'll be the ultimate decision p<)int for the baseball writers. In the meantime, anybody who knows the game will tell you, Barry Bonds is a great hitter." · Bush said he loved baseball, but was "dead set" against steroids. "I think it's bad for the game," he said. In his State of the Union address in 2004, Bush called for a crackdown on steroids. "I put it in there, because it's part of a larger context, and that is, how we behave as adults will influence how children behave," Bush said. "And I was very concerned that it would be vtewed as OK to use steroids if you are a high school kid or a junior high kid. And it's not. It'll hurt your body."
