"He's fun to play with," Morgan said. While there were some puzzled looks and a few raised eyebrows at Davis· chmce to bench Couch and his $6.2 million contract in favor of Holcomb, the Browns were united and pleased about one thing: that the quarterback controversy was over. ' The Holcomb-Couch debate overshadowed training camp and has been the dominant question hanging over the Browns for months. And now that it's fi nally over, the team can move on to other pressing concerns. Like fixing a defense that has looked horrible in exhibition games against Tennessee and Green Bay. But for one more day. Holcomb and Couch remained center stage. "If it was at another position, it wouldn't have been that big of a deal," guard Barry Stokes said. "But coach feel s like ridiculous.

Flutie plays on at 40, no signs of slowing down BY BERNIE WILSON Associated Press CARSON, Calif. - Doug Flutie was talking about his long-ago days in the USFL when he suddenly paused and looked around the San Diego Chargers' locker room. "Most of these ¥,UYS don't even remember the USFL,' said Flutie, who took his first pro snap with Donald Trump's New Jersey Generals in 1985 . Some of his current teammates were in kindergarten when Flutie threw the "Hail Mary" pass that helped him win the Heisman Trophy in 1984, then signed with the USFL not long after. Nearly two decades later, Flutie has no intention of slowing down, even though Tuesday, August·tl), www.mydailysentinel.com he '11 be Drew Brees' backup for a second straight year. "It's better than the alternative - not being around," said Flutie, who's entering his 19th pro season and will turn 41 in October. Flutie and Rams punter Sean Landeta, 41, are the only USFL alums still playing in the NFL. "I'll bet he can play another five years," Landeta said about Flutie earlier this summer. Actually, Flutie would like to play three more seasons with the Chargers so his daughter can finish high school in La Jolla, the tony district in San Diego where Flu tie lives during the season. He might just make it, especially since Chargers general manager A.J. Smith is 2003 Cincinnati Benga.ls release six players - -· Lewis said. ''I still know we have a long way to go to get to where we want to go, but I'm not dissatisfied with their effort." Pittsburgh's primary goals this offseason include shoring up the porous secondary, which contributed to the NFL's top defense in 2001 sliding to 20th in pass defense, and stopping teams on third down. The secondary overall appears to have imP.roved, holding both Detroit and Philadelphia below 200 years passing. But the Steelers still struggled on third down, allowing opponents to convert team is different than their role on this team. For us to truly become a team we have to realize that," Brown said. "Allen has to take 30 shots for Philadelphia to be successful, Tracy is Orlando's f~st, second and third option.' On the American team, however, nobody needs to dominate the ball. The U.S. squad was at its best against Puerto Rico pushing the ball upcourt in transition and relying on the passing skills of Kidd, Iverson and Bibby to create good shot opportunities. Duncan scored the majority of his 21 points by being in the right place at the right time, rather than having the offense run through him. · "Now, Tracy might have to be our defensive stopper and play (power forward) . Allen might. have to be somebody that gets other people involved when things bog down. Elton is somebody that has to complement Tim Duncan, so t:hat's the neat thing that's evolving," Brown said.

Based on a new measure· ment meant to gauge overall progress, the average of all students • scores increased from a 74 percent passage rate in the 1999-00 school year to 83 percent last year, the slate Department of Education said in results released Thesday. However, students statewide also achieved just 10 of 22 academic and performance standards. Year-to-year comparisons are difficult because the districts, under new federal requirements, for the first time included scores from students with disabilities and those whose first language is not English. "It's a classic example of comparing apples to oranges," said Bonnie Strykowski, accountability director for Lorain city schools. "The sc.oring methods are not equivalent, yet we are held accountable for results." Fourth-grade reading results in the district dropped from a 65.8 percent passage rate last year to 60.6 percent this year. "This means we have a new system that is different, has new rules, and creates a new starting point for Ohio schools," said Susan Tave Zelman, state schools superintendent. · Zelman attributed significant declines in severaf testing areas to the change in which students are measured, including an 8.9 percent drop in sixth-grade math, a 6.5 percent drop in founh-grade citizenship and a 5.4 percent drop in fourthgrade science. Despite the changes, overall improvement can be seen over time, the department said. Statewide, sixth-graders showed the bi~¥esl increase in reading ablltty, with 65 percent of all sixth-graders passing the proficiency test, up from . 58.2 percent last year, the state said. However, that means about 50,750 Ohio sixth-graders didn't pass the reading test. Zelman also noted that an "alanning" gap still exists between graduation rates for white and black students. Only 62 percent of black students graduated from high school compared to 88 percent of white students. Three of Ohio's big city districts Cleveland, Columbus and Youngstown - joined Canton in moving out of academic emergency, the lowest of five ratings. Akron, Cincinnati, Dayton and Toledo remain in academic emergency. Sixteen districts were list· ed in academic emergency, down from 18 last year. Eighty-five districts were listed as excellent -. the highest rating - down from I 09 last year. On the founh-grade reading test, 66.3 percent of stu· dents passed, down from last year's record 67.7 percent rate. That means about 48,000 Ohio fourth-graders didn't pass the founh-grade reading test. Fourth-grade reading has been a focus of high-profile state programs such as Gov. Bob Taft's $139 million OhioReads grant and volunteer tutor initiative. Thesday's results were the first time scores for individual schools were broken down by a variety of new measures, including race and status. For example, while 66 percent of all students at Essex Elementary School in Akron passed the fourth· grade reading test, only 59 percent of black students passed the test. Of white fourth-graders, 80 percent passed, according to state data. Essex was one of 12 schools identified by OhioReads last year as showing significant improvement in student reading. "While I'm gratified for the improvement we are seeing, the results show that not all of our children are achieving at high levels," Zelman said. The state also said 191 schools failed to meet new federal standards for boosting scores of aU schoolchildren. T~ose standards include benchmarks for minority students, poor children and those with disabilities. Districts with schools that don't meet these 10 standards must develop plans to improve test scores, offer tutoring and give students the chance to transfer to another building within the district.

Amid such debacles, many things worked as they should have, Stauffer said. Power networks that lock into FirstEnergy - including those operated by PJM Interconnection and American Electric Power did seal themselves off from the storm, saving Boston, Philadelphia, J>iusburgh, Columbus. Ohio, and other cities from the same fate. "Why didn't Michigan separate itself from FirstEnergy, like PJM and AEP?" Stauffer asked. "If they •d have done that Detroit would have been all right. Ontario would've been all right. And New York would've been aJI right." New high-tech switches and software monitors might have isolated the problem grid sections, said Paul Gilbert, a power consultant and member of the National Academy of Engineering, who chaired repon for Congress on energy systems in 2002. But, Gilben said, transmission lines are chronically overtaxed, running at 90 to 95 percent capacity. When one line fails, switches are supposed to reroute its power to other lines. "When they get an added load they've got no place to put it," he said. "You've got to have more lines." <usPs 213-960) News Editor: Charlene Hoeflich, EKI. t2 Reporter: Brian Reed.

We need mandatory rules for the grid and we need tough penalties for violators," said Massey. one of three FERC complissioners. In Washington, House Energy and Commerce Chairman Billy Tauzin, RLa., said Thesday that his panel would hold a two-day hearing on the blackout on Sept. 4-5. Experts say investigators may not find a single event that triggered the cascade of shutdowns. None of the individual glitches would be enough to kill a city's lights on a normal day, and the grid is designed to work around one or two failures, but not more, Stauffer said. Akron-based FirstEnergy was beset by at least three collapses Thursday. The company said unexplained voltage swings knocl,<:ed out a generator in its Eastlake plant. Later, a high-voltage power line tripped off. Soon after. another power line, heated . by the extra voltage it absorbed from previous fail· ures, drooped into a tree and shorted. The big questions that need answering, Stauffer said, are the reasons behind intra-grid failures that allowed the blackout to spread like a computer virus from FirstEnergy's lines around Cleveland into the neighboring utility network in Michigan. · After darkening Detroit, the plague spread into Ontano, darkening Toronto.

That was a stroke of political genius, misdirecting everyone into thinking yQu were not going to throw your hat in the ring, then unexpectedly announcing your candidacy on "Lena." You sure generated a lot of buzz, not ·only here in the Golden State, but throughout the entire country. The recall had been expected to be a low-turnout affair. But you've made it a happening. Not onl_x are two-thirds of likely California voters ready to kick Gray Davis to the curb on Oct. 7, more than any other candidate, voters want you to replace the Democrat in the governor's office. You must be especially pleased with the results of a justreleased KGTV /Survey USA poll. It shows you leading your nearest competitor, Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante, by a 3-to-1 margin. What's most remarkable, according to the poll, is that you are besting Bustamante even among his fellow Democra.ts and hi s fellow Latinas . But don ' t expect that you are going to be able to stroll iuto the highest office in the nation's most populous state. You will suffer many slings and arrows between here and there . First off, there 's going to be some sniping from some of your fellow Republicans. There are those who will question how you, an actor, deserve to be the party's standard-bearer. There are others who will question whether you are sufficiently conservative. Joseph Perkins Do not allow yourself to get mired in the internecine squabbling that has reduced the party of Reagan and Deukmejian and Wilson to decided minority status in California, after the state GOP moved within parity range of Democrats as recently as I 994. The realit y is that you have, by far, the best chance of any Republican on the recall ballot to get elected eigh t weeks from no - better th an businessman Bill Simon , who lost his governor 's race to Davis last November, better than Tom McClintock, who lost his race for state co ntroller against some guy named Steve Westl y. · As to conservatives who question your ideologic:al bonafides, who fret that you are reportedly pro-chOice. pro-g un control, pro-gay rights, you should ask them the following question: Of the recall candidates who have a ·snowball's chance in Sacramento of succeeding Davis. which one is most cons.e rvative?

Some food-safety experts say much more could be done to improve unsanitary co ndition s at feedlots , slaughterhouses, processors, cafeterias and other places where meat is prepared. "It 's better to take steps to avoid contaminating food to begin with than it is to try to clean it up afterward," says Carol Tucker Forman, director of the Food Policy Institute of the Consumer Federation of America, and former assistant secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

As for flavor, our trained testers n91ed a subtle but distinct off-taste in most samples of irradiated beef and chicken •· we cooked, a smell redolent of "singed hair." But there's no reason to buy irradiated meat if you cook meat thoroughly that is, ground beef to an internal temperature (checked with a meat thermometer) of 160 F. whole chicken to I80 F. and chicken breasts and tenders to 170 F. Irradiation actually destroys fewer bacteria than does proper cooking.

(Visit the Consumer Reporrs Web site at www.consumerreports.org) CINCINNATI (AP) -The NAACP is urging Mayor Charlie Luken to work with activists to settle an economic boycott of the city. Activists began the boycott after a white police officer fatally shot an unarmed black than in April 200 I. The victim was wanted on earlier charges of fleeing police and had run again from police when he encountered the officer in a dark alley, police said. "The NAACP believes that the citizens of Cincinnati are hurting, our great city has suffered financially, and the residents have Jived under intense spiritual and social constraint because of the boycott for far tO,o long," the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People's Cincinnati chapter said in a statement issued Monday. "It is time to cease fire." Luken said he agreed that the boycott - which he has opposed from the start should end. He said, however, that the boycott groups are fragmented and have ignored Cincinnati 's progress since the riots. · "The boycott groups . with their ever-changing and still incomplete list of demands have never acknowledged the great accomplishments we have made," the mayor said. Luken has previously pointed out his appointment of ·a commission after the riots to improve educational and job opportunities for black residents. He also has cited the city's settlement of a lawsuit that accused police of harass· ing blacks, and Cincinnati's agreement with the federal government to improve tracking of complaints against police and tighten policies governing police use of force. Leaders of one of the boycott-backing groups, the Coalition for a Just Cincinnati, said Tuesday they hoped the NAACP's move would encoutage the mayor to talk more with them. "I wish they had been on board a little bit earlier, but I'm glad they have come on. board," said the.Rev. Stephen Scott, co·c~airman of the coalition. "When a person is not willing to talk, there is no way any reasonable solutions can be made." Boycott backers who wrote letters . to entertainers in the months after the riots helped persuade performers including Bill Cosby, Whoopi Goldbl!rg and Smokey Robinson to cancel scheduled appearances in Cincinnati. Luken has said the boycott hurts blacks and whites in the city alike, including hotel and restaurant workers whose jobs depend on conventions and entertainers who come to the city.

Vick: 'I won't play scared' I Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick is helped by Falcons executive Susan Bass to a stage for a news conference to talk about his broken leg Tuesday in Flowery Branch, Ga. Vick, who was Injured in the first quarter of last Saturday's pre·season game aglanst the Baltimore Ravens. will be out of action for at least six weeks. (AP) FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) - Michael Vick hobbled into the crowded mom Tuesday - a crutch under each arm, a black cast on his right leg . Sitting down required some tedious maneuvering. A helping hand was needed to prop up hi s broken leg . For now, the NFL's .most dazzling player couldn't outrun a sumo wrestler. "Oh man, it's tough ," Vick said in hi s first public comment s since Saturday night, when the Atlanta Falcons quarterback broke his fibula in a preseason game. "I tried to take a shower and it was just something that I couldn't do. It 's somet hing that I'm going to have to get used to for the next few weeks. I'm going to need help." Vick has never ex peri·enced this sort of vulnerability. He 's always been the guy everyone else was chasing, an aberration of nature who knew he could run faster and throw farther than anyone else on the field . Turns out he ' s onl y human . ,' Scrambling out of the pocket. Vick was grabbed • home game and had high hopes of improving on last year's playoff season. Now, the y've got to rely on fourth-year backup Doug Johnson to run the team for the first month. "It was very emotional," said Vick, a Pro Bowler in his first year as a starter. "I've been looking forward to com ing out and playing against Dallas in September and that's not goi ng to happen." Still, Vick insists he 's not concerned about the team getting off to a p~or. start while he's on the stdeh ne . "This football team has a lot nf great players," he said . "Everyone is going to rally around Doug. The defense is going to step up . We 're going tu win football games, I promise you that." Teammates are telling Vick to keep his head up. "Of course , he's going to be a little frustrated," said safety and close friend Keion Carpenter, who broke two bones in his neck ~uring the playoffs last season .

Stanton said the strain of the investigation into Patrick Dennehy's death, NCAA violations within the men's basketball program and coach Dave Bliss' attempted . coverup of those viola'lions pushed him to step down now. "These past few months have been the most difficult period of my life," Stanton said in a statement released by the university. "There have been many families that have suffered throughout this ordeal. They have been in my thoughts and prayers. Unfair speculation and innuendo reported in the media have also taken a toll on my family." Stanton· said he would pursue "other opportunities" outside the umversity. He said, "I will do absolutely everything I can to help with the ongoing basketball investigation:· Stanton and Bliss resigned the same day when Baylor President Robert Sloan Jr. , announced -the school had uncovered improper tuition payments from the coach to players.

Even so, the university had been facing mounting questions as to why Stanton was still on the job . . 'The university is greatly indebted to Tom for making Baylor 's athletics program one of the top overall programs in the country;" Sloan said. Denneh~. a transfer from New Mextco, was found dead July 25 in a field near a rock quarry in W11co, just a few miles from the private Baptist university where he was last seen in mid-June. Another player, Carlton Dotson, is accused of shooting Dennehy twice in the head. A judge agreed Tuesday to keep Dotson in jail in his home state of Maryland for up to 60 more days as prosecutors work to extradite him to Texas. Last week, Bliss admitted that he tried to get players and an assistant coach to por- Finally, the Bengals decided they were through with him. They took Travi s Dorsch in the fourth round in 2002, and referred to Rackers in the past tense on draft day. He wasn't done yet. Rackers outperformed Dorsch, a premier college punter, during training camp last year, keeping his job. Dorsch was on the roster as a backup, an insurance policy for the first time that Rackers failed during the regular season. Rackers kicked field goals of 21 and 54 yards in the season opener, and celebrated as he ran off the field following the second-longest kick in team history. " I hadn 't had too much luck on that field, so it was a good way to kick the season off," he said. He fini shed 15-of-18 on field goal attempt s, forcing the Bengals to abandon those thoughts of moving Dorsch into the role. Rackers is unchallenged as the place kicker in camp this year, a sign of how far he has come. "I don't feel like I' ve gotten through it and persevered ," · Rackers said. "I' ve got to keep going.

Bliss 's coverup attempt was revealed Fnday night when assistant coach Abar Rouse gave the Fort Worth Star-Telegram a copy of his secretly recorded conversations with Bliss before meeting with NCAA and Baylor investigators. "1, too, have been shocked and saddened by the activities of our former men's basketball coach," Stanton said. "I feel betrayed and cannot conceive of how he could have justified his actions. I may never understand it." Meanwhile, a university official who agreed to speak on the condition of anonymity told The Dallas Morning News for a story in Wednesday's editions that Baylor's investigative panel has found indications that the arena's camera system was used to tape opponents' workouts, a breach of coaching etiquette. .The Big 12 Conference administrative manual requires host schools to allow a closed practice the night before a game and a closed shootaround the day of the game. "No one can view practice, period," said John Underwood, the Big 12 assistant commissioner for basketball. "No media, no fans . It's their team and their coaching personnel." Laura Collins-Hays, Bliss' former administrative assistant, told the newspaper on Monday that a live feed of a Kansas State practice was shown in the depanment in January 2002.

NASCAR spokesman Herb Branham said a hearing on the appeal would be held Wednesday morning in Bristol, Tenn., where Spencer was scheduled to race in a Craftsman Truck Series event that night. Spencer's argument will ·be heard by National Stock Car Racing Conunission chairman George Silbermann and two other commissioners. Silbermann, a longtime racing executive, is also director of administration for NASCAR. Spencer was suspended Monday from all NASCARsanctioned competition until Aug. 26 for punching Busch in the garage at MIS following the GFS Marketplace 400 on Sunday. He also was fined $25,000 and placed on probation through the end of the year. Buscft, who suffered a.bloodied nose and chipped tooth, was put on probation until Dec. 31. There was no word late Thesday if Busch was planning' to appeal. Spencer could still face criminal ch!!fjleS. A Lenawee County (Mich.) sheriff captain said it could be Friday at the earliest before the department forwarded its report to the prosecutor. Busch said the punch by Spencer caused tissue damage. In the latest of a series of skirmishes between the drivers since 2001, the two made contact as Busch attempted to pass Spencer late in Sunday's race. After the event, Busch said his car ran out of gas near -Spencer's hauler in the garage area. Witnesses said Spencer pl!lled in and hit Busch's car from behind.

Mtw LAYToN jlayton@ mydailysentinel.com , ROCK SPRINGS - Classes be~in for high school' students all over Mergs County today, but for some students high school will be a new experience. The transition from middle school to high school can tre difficult. Meigs High School makes this transition easier by introducing this year's freshman class to the atmosphere the students will share for the next four years. Principal Dennis Eichinger said that out of a freshmen class of 144 students, more than 70 freshmen, parents and at least 20 teachers attended an orientation session held at the high school Tuesday night. "Studt!nts have less anxiety about coming.to school." he said. "The acclimation process can be very stressful and this orientation session makes things easier for the students." Eichinger said the orienlation session gave students a chance to interact with teachers and to understand some of I he academic demands that wi II be expected of them. Student interaction with parents and educators is stressed to foster successful academic achievement. "I think we make a difference by doing this," he said. This will be the first class that must pass the Ohio Graduation Tests in order to graduate.

Federal funds are not currently available unless supplemental funds are approved by Con~ress and signed by the Presrdent Bush. Congressional action will take place no earlier than Sept. 3. Hysell said the street department has no money to make repairs to the streets damaged by t4e. ·storms. The village asked FEMA for more than $8.000 to pave and repair streets with potholes. Hysell remains optimistic the village will see the money FEMA promised.

For Michael Nokes of Biloxi, Miss., who arrived at Pomeroy's levee on Wednesday morning, 26 days on the river is just the start of a three-month trip from Warren, Pa. and back home again. Nokes has paddled his kayak along the shore lines of the Allegheny, Monongahela and Ohio Rivers, and plans to continue the course over the Mississipi before returning home. He averages 25 miles a day, sleeps on islands or riverbanks, and eats canned goods from a small supply he keeps in the hull of his small .craft, replenished in ri~~ rowns· '. like Pomeroy he fiqds along the way. The tiny kl~llk also bears his tent and sleeping bag, a firs~-aid kit, and other safety equ1pment.

"The rain has slowed us down, but we should still be done by December," said Greg Huffman, project engineer with the Ohio Department of Transportation. Huffman said 40 or more highway construction workers are trying to complete phase t.wo and phase three of the project. Phase two involves paving four miles of highway between Five Points and Morning Star near Racine, at a cost of $15.4 million. Phase three involves paving from Morning Star to Portland Road nearly five miles away, at a cost of $13 million. Phase one of the project, which is six and 1!2 miles, from the bridge to the junction of Coumy Road 36 (Portland Road) and SR 124 near Racine at a cost of $22.23 million has been completed. Once completed, the Ravenswood Connector will be designated US 33 and existing US 33 from the junction of the Connector mto Pomeroy will become part of SR 124. At least 78,000 cubic yards of concrete will make the nine mile connector a reality for Meigs County. Concrete is being used instead 'of asphalt because it lasts longer, according to highway workers. Ryan Buckley is the project engineer for Kokosing Construction Company, the contractor. A short distance fro m Five Points, the new highway divides land owned by local businessman Horace Karr, who is also Buckley's grandfather. Buckley. who grew up in the hills and fields nearby and gradua1ed from Eastern H,igh School, said the highway will mean a lot to Meigs County. "It will mean more jobs and industry in the area," said Buckley.
