Two weeks later, some fields so ~y farmers can't get their equ1pment into them. "The cotton picker is the heaviest piece of equipment we have," said Glenn Rountree, Virginia Tech extension agent in Isle of Wight. "They can't get into the fields as long as it stays this wet." Nearly 20,000 acres of the crop are grown in Isle of Wight. Farmers · in that county alone suffered more than $80 million in damage to couon, peanut and soybean crops, Rountree said. In Surry County, cotton was equally battered as a 12-hour ram dropped more thai) I foot "I've still got fields of colton under water," said Brian Carroll, whose cotton sustained most of the damage on his I ,500-acre farm. · Rountree is asking the Isle of Wight County Board of Supervisors to approach Gov. Tunothy M. Kaine for help, a step that he hopes will ultimately lead to low-interest recovery loans from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Less than I0 percent of cotton in the area was harvested before the storm, local extension agents said. The remainder was saturated - fine for your cotton .

The former minister Ali Allawi told CBS' "60 Minutes" that $1.2 billion had been allocated to the defense ministry to buy new weapons. About $400 million was spent on outdated .equipment, while the rest of the money was simply stolen, he said. Allawi said the arms fraud is "one of the biggest thefts in history" and that corrupt former Iraqi officials are now "running · around the world . hiding. and -scufl)'ing around." He did not name the officials who allegedly stole the money during the.CBS report. But Iraqi investigators are probing several weapons and equipment deals engineered by former procuremenlr officer Ziad Cattan and other officials including former Defense Minister Hazirn Shaalan. Most of the fraudulent arms purchases were a1legedly made during the term of former interim Prime Minster Ayad Allawi, who took office after occupation authori- polling places to vote. . But Albert Ramdin, assistant secretal)'-general for the Washington-based Organization of American· States, said polling place and transportation workers supporting a position did not violate electoral law in Panama. Ramdin, heading a mission of SO observers, said voting had been orderly but that "generally I believe most people say that this turnout is a bit lower than they had seen before in gen- . era! elections." The United 'States arranged for Panamanian . independence from . Colombia to build the canal, and rari it from 1914 to \999 . . Torrijos' _ father, strongman Qmar 'forrijos, signed a treaty with President Carter in 1977 to <Jede control of the waterway back to Panama, a decision that also was approved by Panamanians in a referendum.

(AP) Trouble finally found Jeff Burton · at Martinsville Speedway. Jimmie Johnson and a handful of other championship chasers found themselves back in title contention. NASCAR's Chase for the championship broke wide open Sunday, setting up what is likely to be a wild fou·r-race finish. Johnson · took the lead from Bobby Labonte with 55 laps to go and held it through several restarts to win ihe crash·filled Subway 500, while 2003 champion Matt Kenseth replaced Burton atop the standings. Johnson moved from seventh to third in the standings with four races left, and appears to be the driver with the most momentum heading into the final month. "l' m just. happy to finish where we should have," said Johnson, who was denied at least a secondplace finish · at Talladega when he was spun out on the last lap two weeks ago, then finished second last week at Charlotte. "We've been running up front the last three of four races and · haven't been· able to close the ·deal. Today we did." · Kenseth assumed the points lead when Burton pulled his car into the garage after just 217 laps because of engine trouble, and most everyone took advantage. Next week iq Atlanta, seven drivers will start within 99 points of Kenseth, who finished II th on Sunday and seemed more concerned about his performance than excire<\. "It's great to be the leader, but we've got to start running good," Kenseth said. "It's still pretty wide open. It's going to he pretty exciting, I think, coming down to the last race. I'm glad we are in the lead and if we can get going back on these last four tracks like we were earlier in the year. I think we'ye got a shot at it."

Rogers, Tigers .even World Series with Cardinals DETROIT (AP)- Was it dirt? A smudge from a resin bag? A magic elixir? Don't ask the St. Louis Cardinals what that stuff was on Kenny Rogers' pitching hand. They didn't get a good look at it, and even when he wiped it off, they still barely hit the baseballs he was throwing. Virtually untouchable this October, Rogers smothered the Cardinals on two hits over eight shutout innings, leadillg Detroit to a 3-1 victory on a chilly Sunday night that tied the World Series at one game apiece. Rogers figured in a flfSt· inning flap regarding some· thing noticeable on his pitching hand. It appeared to be something dirty or dark, and umpires brought Cardinals manager Tony La Russa out to the field at the end of the first for a brief discussion. "It was a big .clump of din, and I wiped it off," Bengals pick up big win over Carolina BY JoE k · ASSOCIATED PRESS CINCINNATI - The call came in. The gamble was on. The Bengals were putting the game into the pleading hands of Chad Johnson. The brash receiver had been begging for the chance. Johnson turned a risky fourth-and-1 call into a diving 32-yard catch Sunday, leading to a touchdown and a 17-14 · victory over the Carolina Panthers, who couldn't stop the Pro Bowl receiver on the play that mattered most. "That was the actual play call," Johnson said, noting that offensive coordinator Bob Bratlcowski made him the fii'SI choice. "Bratkowski - 1 love you! · Thank you! That was a great call. "In my mind, I was going to come down with it." He did., of course. Two plays later, the Bengals (4-2) finished a· length-of-the-field drive that gave them a wei• . corned win. They'd lost their last two games and endured a bye week loaded with ques. · tions about the1r tottenng offense and .. their off-target quarterback. When they needed him most on Sunday. Carson Palmer finally conn~ted . • Wearing a glove on his passing hand, Palmer struggled with the gusting, swirling wind until the fourth quarter. He went 8-of-9 for 93 yards in the go-ahead drive, culminating 111 his 1yard throw to · T.J . Houshmandzadeh. '1n this stadium, the wind is different than most places we play in," said Palmer, who was 23-{)f-39 overall for 240 yards. "At times, it's nice and calm. Perfect. Then a huge gust comes in. It can catch you off-guard." . 1'he decision to throw on fourth-and- I at the Panthers' 35 midway through the fourth quarter caught everyone off guard. "You JUSt want to barrel out and get the first down, but I guess the coaches felt that a little eJay action might work there, ' guard Eric Steinbach . said. "Once we heard the ~We called, we were thinking, e . ntight get them on this.' It was a great call." One very bad decision then sealed it. Carolina (4-3) had won its last four games by playing very well at the end - three of the victories were by a field goal or less. Jake Delhomme had the Panthers 11 ff th in position 10 pu 0 ano er Plelse see Befteels, 86 Rogers said. "I didn't know it was there, and they told me and I took -it off, and it wasn't a big deaL" Maybe not to him. But certainly to most others. "It's not important to talk about," LaRussa said terse· ly to reponers. · But according to Tigers manager Jim Leyland- La Russa's good buddy - . La Russa discussed it with the umps. . · "I know Tony said, 'Hey, I don't want to make any issue here, but a couple of my players are saying that the ball is acting a little funny,"' Leyland said. "And obviously they were a httle suspicious." Leyland, who talked to three umps near the thirdbase line in the middle of the second, joked about the fuss. · "He was pretty clean the rest . of the way," Leylanil said. Steve Palermo, one of baseball's · umpire supervi- sors, said plate ump Alfonzo Marquez noticed the dirt alid asked Rogers to clean up . Palermo brushed off thoughts of any nefarious plot "Dirt is not a foreign substance," Palermo said. "That's what we play on. That's the playing surface." Cardinals pitching coach Dave Duncan. without accusing Rogers, noted that St. Louis reliever Julian . f1 /VdMfJJ( ~ Toae~ Obstetrics & Gynecology Hedy M..Windsor,..MD • Now acct;pilha&IJP 111ttme11Cs & lle'W patieats!
