Unless the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals grants a stay, the casino on the Alabama-Coushatta Indian Reservation in Livingston, Polk County, will close Friday at midnight. Joined by other party members coming and going, two Liberta nan protesters stood outside the court in Livingston from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. "The Libertanan Party is opposed to the federal government interfering in tribal business," said Kris Overstreet, protester and chair of the Polk County Libertarian Part)'. Federal law permits gambling on reservations only as far as the state allows it. American Indian tribes have argued that Texas sanctioned casinos when it institut­ ed the state lottery in 1992. Texas Attorney General John Comyn has sought to close the casino since January' 2002 because, outside of the State lottery Act and the Texas Racing Act, gambling is illegal in Texas. Both of Polk County's state legislators, Rep. Dan Ellis, D -I ivingston, and Sen. Todd Staples, R-Palestine, support the closure of the casino. "We don't like any loss of jobs in our district, but we feel the opening of the casino from the beginning was not in accordance with our constitutional laws," said Shannon Wickliffe, legislative director for Staples. The casino employs 3(X) people, 80 of whom reside on the reservation. The total population of the reser­ vation is 597. "We appreciate the support [the Libertarian Party] has shown, and we thank them for that," said Sharon Miller, spokeswoman for the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe. 'They see the situation we're in of keeping our employment." Miller said it the court does not grant a stay, the reservation will appeal to the state Legislature and then to the I S. Congress. Tom Rogers, attorney for the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe said the casino is the first step in economic development on the reservation since manv of the employees am former welfare recipients. With its clo­ sure wall come the end of social programs such as col­ lege scholarship fu n d s, he said "There is a pattern of lack of empathy for those who do not have much in Texas," Rogers said. "The Libertarian Party has been a big supporter of the tribe in an effort to support their own economic rights.” Robert Howard, political director the Libertar iar, Party of Leva- said Texas' gambling poli­ c ie s are inconsistent.

Or are they? The front cover of the Texas edi­ tion of Economics, a high school textbook to be published by Austin-based Holt, Rinehart and Winston, currently depicts an image of the building on its review copy with the NYSE's male figures clothed. But inside the book, a smaller picture of the NYSE appears and close inspection reveals that sever­ al of the male figures in this image are, in fact, nude. "I can't tell which is correct," said Cynthia Thornton, a member of the State Board of Education. "I'll need a factual image from the publisher." Under Chapter 31 of the Texas Education Code, a textbook must be "free from factual errors." The SBOE reviews the textbooks for factual accuracy and recommends to publishers changes it feels are necessary. If publishers refuse to change an error, the SBOE can deny approval of a textbook, cost­ ing the publishers a contract. School districts then choose from the list of "conforming" textbooks. "An artist's work should not be misrepresented," said Thornton, but she said she does not think misrep­ resenting an image amounts to a fac­ tual error. She said Holt is aware of the discrepancy and will look into it. Holt's Economics is currently being reviewed by the SBOE as part of the state's textbook-adop- tion process. Sodal studies text­ books were last reviewed by the SBOE six years ago. Texas' text- book-review process has attracted national attention because Texas, along with California and Rorida, are large states that determine the textbook market for other states. Judy Johnson, executive assis­ tant at Holt's Austin office, declined to answer whether the textbook image had been altered. Rick Blake, executive vice presi­ dent for communications in Holt's Orlando office, could not be reached for comment. "I don't know why anybody would want to doctor a picture," said Don McLeroy, a member of the SBOE. "If the textbook publishers are sensitive, and they want to sell more books, maybe they'll change an image, [but] you don't doctor [pictures of] public buildings."

James Traficant for taking bribes and kickbacks, only the second time since the Civil War that it has removed a sitting member for unethical conduct. Representatives voted 420-1 to immediately banish the nine-term Democrat after a federal jury in Cleveland convicted him and a House ethics panel recommended his removal. Traficant, 61, was defiant to the "I'm prepared to lose every­ thing. I'm prepared to go to jail. You go ahead and expel me," he said, maintaining his innocence and claiming that government prosecutors coerced witnesses to lie in order to win the court con­ victions against him. In his final plea, the House veter­ an of nearly 18 years told his col­ leagues, "My people elected me, and I don't think you should take their representative away." But he added, "Vote your conscience. Nothing personal. I hope I'm back." Only Rep. Gary Condit, D- Calif., who was defeated in a pri­ mary for re-election after he was romantically linked with Chandra Levy, a government intern who was murdered, voted against Traficant7 s expulsion. "None of us ever want to sit in judgment of our peers," said Rep. Joel Hefley, R-Colov chairman of the House ethics committee that recommended Traficant7s expul­ sion. "There are some unique occasions, however, when the behavior of an elected official vio­ lates the public trust to such an extent that we are called upon to uphold this provision." House ethics watchdogs con­ demned Traficant, saying there was too much evidence against him. Rep. Howard Berman of panel's senior California, the not expelling Democrat, said the vast Traficant "in the face'of evidence spread out in the record is to say a member can behave as he has and retain membership in this institution. That cannot be our message." tax and Known for his flashy clothes, wild hair and arm-waving theatri­ cal rants against government pros­ ecutors collectors, Traficant even drew some sub­ dued chuckles from lawmakers when he quipped about using a "Weed Wacker" to cut his hair and referred to his '70s-style bell-bot­ tom trousers. Rep. Steven LaTourette, a mem­ ber of the House ethics committee, sought to delay the vote until Sept. 4 to allow for legal maneuvering in Traficantes case to unfold. "You want to kick Jim Traficant out of Congress, you can still do it" in the fall, the Ohio Republican said. But his effort failed 285-146. end. # Rep.

Associated Press FBI forms new analysis unit By The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Drawing on tire CIA's expertise, the FBI has formed a new unit of intelligence analysts who already have prompted three recent terrorist warnings and focused investiga­ tive efforts on midlevel al-Qaida members. Officials said the analysts have developed a portrait of an al- Qaida that is operating essentially with midlevel members carrying out attack plans as its more noto­ rious leaders hide from the U.S. military. The new analysts, several of whom have worked for the CIA, are interpreting raw intelligence in a way new to the FBI — focused on disrupting terrorists plans even before agents meet the iegal standards for arrests and prosecutions. "You need to keep your ana­ lysts separate sc that they can continue to mine information and continue to give you the global picture," said Pat Damuro, the FBI's assistant director for coun­ terterrorism, w'ho is overseeing the analysis effort. The new analysts are not focused on specific cases, but rather "looking over the horizon" for emerging threats and trends, Damuro said. Though only two months in the making, the new analysis unit has already made some public marks. It was responsible for three recent warnings sent by the FBI about possible terrorist plans, law enforcement officials said. One vyaming went to scuba- diving schools, advising owners to be wary of suspicious people buy­ ing large amounts of equipment and asking for instruction that might be.useful in a terrorist attack. In June, the analysts provided FBI officials with guidance that led to warnings to Jewish schools and synagogues and another warning to fuel depot operators about a possible attack scenario. The analysis unit also has drawn an intelligence-driven por­ trait of an al-Qaida terror organi­ zation that has changed after the U.S. military in Afghanistan. operation "What we are seeing is the midlevel operatives are in the position to carry out attacks against Americans. We are coming up with a list of these people and together with the CIA are making them a high priority," a senior law enforcement official said. Combining foreign and dom­ estic intelligence with informa­ tion from al-Qaida members in custody, the new analysts are helping FBI field offices and for­ eign police identify midlevel al- Qaida operatives and apprehend them before they can carrv out attacks. The analyst team has been aided by a handful of senior CIA managers and 25 seasoned CIA analysts wrho have moved to the FBI to assist the early effort. T R A I N I N G C E N T E R presents Cable company’s founder arrested By The Associated Press NEW YORK — Warning that corporate crimes will result in "handcuffs and a jail cell," federal authorities arrested the founder of Adelphia Communications and his two sons Wednesday on charges they looted the now- bankrupt cable giant and used it as their "personal piggy bank." Former chief executive John Rigas, 78, and sons Timothy, 46, and Michael, 48, were accused of stealing hundreds of millions of dollars from the nation's sixth- largest cable company, costing investors more than $60 billion. Two other former executives — James Brown, 40, and Michael Mulcahey, 48 — were arrested in Pennsylvania. The defendants could get up to 30 years in prison and millions in fines if convicted of the most serious charges. The Rigases were freed on $10 million bail apiece, secured by cash — $1 million for John Rigas and $500,000 for each son — plus land and other property. Defense attorneys refused to comment, and prosecutors will now take the case to a grand jury for an indictment. In addition to the criminal the Securities and charges, Exchange Commission filed a lawsuit and called the case "one of the most extensive financial frauds ever to take place at a pub­ lic company." The SEC is seeking restitution, fines and an order bar­ ring the defendants from ever heading a company. The arrests follow months of turmoil surrounding Adelphia, a Coudersport, Pa., company with 5.7 million cable subscribers in more than 30 states. It filed for bankruptcy protection last month after revealing billions of dollars in off-the-balance-sheet debts — much of it money taken out of the company by its founding family. Federal investigators said the company fraudulently left $2.3 bil­ lion in liabilities off the books, inflated earnings and falsified its number of subscribers. They also said the Rigases borrowed more than $2 billion from the company without reporting it to the SEC. John Rigas also allegedly took $13 million from the company to build a golf course and received more than $67 million in undis­ closed loans*and at least $1 million per month in secret cash pay­ ments. Beat the H eat G et it C ut Short & N eat SUPOCUTS BRIEFS Dow hits second-bi gest one-day increase ever NEW YORK — The Dow Jones industrials stormed up almost 490 points, the second-biggest one-day gain ever, and climbed back over 8,000 Wednesday as Wall Street cheered legal and leg­ islative action on the corporate ethics scandals that fueled nine weeks of sharp losses. Still, many market observers were dubious about the sustain­ ability of the rebound, noting that stocks have rallied before and then pulled back. The Dow closed up 488.95, or 6.4 percent, at 8,191.29. Israel offers Palestinians goodwill after Gaza strike JERUSALEM — Facing a storm of criticism for its raid on Gaza, Israel offered Palestinians a series of goodwill gestures Wednesday and blamed faulty military intelligence for the deaths of nine children and four other civilians in the fatal attack on a Hamas military chief. Palestinians, meanwhile, claimed militant groups were about to sign a cease-fire decla­ ration before the attack. Israeli officials dismissed those reports and defended the bombing, even as they admitted intelligence sur­ rounding the attack was flawed. “It's a tragedy because innocent people got killed. It’s not a tragedy because a cease-fire was imminent,’ said Daniel Taub, a Foreign Ministry spokesman. “Un­ fortunately that wasn’t the case.’ Study: Kidney transplants from cadavers last as long Kidneys transplanted from a cadaver keep working just as long as those taken from a brain- dead patient with a still-beating heart, according to a Swiss study that offers a promising way to ease the severe organ shortage. Some doctors have long believed that if they wait until a person's heart has stopped to remove the kidneys, the organs will become damaged from lack of oxygen and will not last as long when they are transplanted. At 10 years, 79 percent of patients whose kidney came from a donor with no heartbeat were alive, as were 77 percent of patients whose organ came from a brain-dead donor. AOL Time Warner says SEC is beginning investigation NEW YORK — AOL Time Warner Inc., the world’s largest media company, said Wednesday that the Securities and Exchange Commission is looking into a series of transactions that may have improperly boosted revenue.

Vi 'r-úmgi rWzMy- VIEWPOINT W. takes TIPS from East Berlin The adage goes that the first casualty of w ar is freedom. Freedom h as been restricted in m an y form s since Sept. 11 w ith executive and legislative actions su ch as the creation of the re d u n d a n t Bureau of H o m elan d Security and the passage of th e USA Patriot Act. Now the g o v ern m en t has taken a p a g e from the oppres­ sive "socialist" regim es of Eastern E u ro p e by instituting a program th a t essentially rew ards p e o p le for spying on their friends and neighbors. The T errorist Information and P revention System, sp onsored by the U.S. Justice D ep artm en t, w ill be recruiting v o lu n te e rs to act as inform ants for the governm ent by calling a toll-free hot­ line to rep o rt any suspicious activity th a t m ay be related to terrorism . The Justice D epartm ent's p rim e recru its for the TIPS p r o g r a m will be those w hose jobs p ro v id e them w ith a c c e s s to tra n sp o rta tio n , hom es a n d businesses — people like deliverym en, taxi drivers an d tra in conductors. The plan is to h av e 1 million recruits from the nation's 10 largest cities — w hich include H o u sto n , Dallas and San Antonio — w ith in the first year. Inform ation gleaned from the in fo rm an ts will be placed in to a database and "referred electronically to a point of contact in each state as deem ed ap p ro p riate," according to the O peration TIPS W eb s ite at zvww.citizencorps.gov. The Web site depicts the p ro g ra m as a benign neigh­ borhood w a tc h system designed to allow citizens to show their p a trio tism by actively taking p a rt in America's ter­ ror w a r. But the Web site does n o t d iv u lg e that inform a­ tion collected on a suspected terro rist w ill be widely dis­ s e m i n a t e d w h ile th e suspect is u n a w a re he or she is being w a tc h e d . The g o v ern m en t has gone b eyond relying on the decen­ cy of citizens to look out for the p u b lic good by reporting suspicious activity and is now actively recruiting people to serve as governm ent-sponsored inform ants. This p ro ­ gram bears shades of the form er E ast Germ an state's reliance on secret police officers k n o w n as "Stasi" w ho reported on activities counter to th e fundam ental ideolo­ gy of achieving their socialist uto p ia. Then, as with TIPS, governm ent inform ants were n o t alw ays easily «recog­ nized, and files on a person w ere secret.

The problem here is th at there is ,i fine line betw een teaching a religion and analyzing it.

People should not he taught to not dislike another religion by having public universities require freshmen to read about the more pleasant aspects of Islam ... so that they have a more charitable perception o f Islam. religion. Chancellor M o eser em p h a- i es that the course's intentions, m light of Sept. 11, are to foster a greater awareness of Islam and t* aches no Som e Muslims received th rea ts and experienced u n p le a s a n t treat- ment following the attacks, and tin- has led m any to argue that Xmericans need to h av e a greater appreciation and u n d ersta n d in g ot other religions.

P eople should n o t be tau g h t to n o t dislike another religion by having public universities require freshm en to read about the m ore pleasant aspects of Islam (or any other religion for that m atter) so that they will have a m ore charitable perception of Islam. This essen­ tially am ounts to telling students w h at to think. If students are going to be asked to take a course in u n d er­ standing Islam, w hy not have them analyze the religion in its entirety? Unless the class consist­ ed entirely of cultural relativists, chances are that the course will be far m ore inform ative than the one currently being offered at U N C-Chapel Hill. It should be argued here that there are m any u n p le a sa n t aspects of Islam, including the suppression of w om en in m any countries, crim inal am putations and m any political aspects of Islam ic law'. The con cep t of Jihad, w hich historically h as played an influential m ilitary role in M uslim history, is as rele­ th e Ten Islam as v an t C om m andm ents and the Book of Revelation are in the C hristian Bible. Approaching the Qu 'ran: The Early Revelations fails to m ention Jihad. in P erhaps the course sh o u ld focus even more on the hum an experience of the M uslim mili­ tant. The role of those M uslim s w ho are heavily influenced by the jihad, both violent and nonvi­ olent versions, has increased trem endously in w orld since the m id-20th century. It seem s to be one of the m ore relevant aspects of to A m erica's security a n d w ell being. Islam w ith reg a rd s ore respec g of other If a university has the intention of engendering a m ore respectful and enlightened student body, then it should teach its students to be m ore respectful and u n d er­ standing of other people because they are hum an individuals, and not because it is im portant to help create a society that is m ore appreciative of o th er cu ltu res and religions. Let the students decide w hat they w ant to appre­ ciate by offering them the chance to see the w orld as it is.

Why is it that this represents female subordina­ tion? I would bet a large sum of money that when a man looks at Playboy he is not thinking “ Oh, me man, me so much bet­ ter than woman. She do any­ thing for me." I feel it would be reasonable to say, "Yes, they are looking at and maybe even drooling over these g irls’ bod­ ie s.” Are we as men not allowed to think that the female body is a thing of beau­ ty and meant for adoration by us men? What is so wrong with that? Furthermore, it is not like these women did not choose to be in this magazine. If they want to show their nude bod­ ies to the public, then so be it. Who are we to judge them and say that they are submitting their lives to male dominance? Many people would see it as an honor to be put in such a prestigious magazine. Great women such as Farrah Fawcett have been published in Playboy. Last, but not least, it is quite an honor to be recognized by Playboy Magazine for your ath­ letic accom plishm ents. Year after year great athletes in our colleges receive this recogni­ tion and go on to be greats in their respective sp orts. So to T.J. Ford, I say congratulations, and I hope that you get to go to the Playboy mansion and enjoy the beauty of these women. Adam Chereck International business senior Israel out of line Recent Israeli actions in Gaza that left nine innocent children dead are as shameful and disgusting as the actions of suicide bom bers. Both par­ ties kill innocent people, not sparing even young toddlers. Such a lack of respect for human life leaves me out­ raged . I am especially disappointed with the Israeli government, which benefits from my tax dol­ lars in the form of U.S military and financial aid. I resent in the strongest term s when a government that receives my tax dollars engages in such reckless actions. I want to see and fully support an Israel that is safe and prosperous but will condemn any action that shows a lack of sensitivity to innocent human lives. As long as they receive my tax dollars, I expect them to conform to civilized international stan­ dards. As far as Hamas is con­ cerned, I am happy they do not receive any Western aid and hope and pray they become a thing of the past.

"But I have said from day one that 1 will sign the easements if Longhorn Pipeline meets all applicable federal health and safety' standards." Dewhurst said because federal law preempts state laws, he will sign the easements, which will allow the pipeline to cross state lands. "However, the people of Texas hax'e every right to expect that Longhorn Pipeline will do every­ thing they can to ensure the safety of families living along the pipeline corridor," Dewhurst added. The Longhorn Pipeline is a 700-mile pipeline w hich will carry gasoline, diesel and jet fuel from Houston to El Paso and will run through Austin over the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone. Most of the pipeline is 52 years old. Trey Salinas, a spokesman for Longhorn Pipeline Partners LP, said he agreed with Dewhursfs decision. "Obviously we are pleased with the land commissioner's decision, and w e have given him our assur­ ance, as we have given everyone else, that we are going to operate this pipeline safely," Salinas said. "extrem ely concerned Sparks w'rote in his 41-page rul- g in favor of the pipeline h at he ing th a t’ is Longhorn will be pushing high-grade gasoline through the pipeline in less than a month" and "finds no consolation whatsoev­ er" in Longhorn's $15 million lia­ bility insurance Sparks wrote that although he has extreme concerns about the pipeline, he lacks the power to stop it because he only has author­ ity to rule whether regulators fol­ lowed the correct procedures in allowing the pipeline to reopen. "Time w'ill only tell if the miti­ gation factors will be sufficient to contain the dangers inherent in this decrepit pipeline, and the peo­ ple and critters in its threatening shadow can only hope and pray that they will," he wrote. Assistant City' Attorney David Smith said he wras disappointed with Sparks ruling and said the city is considering appealing the judges ruling but must file an appeal within 30 days of the rul­ ing. U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett, FT-Texas, a staunch opponent to the pipeline, said he was also disap­ pointed with Dewhurst's decision. Ihese developments represent a real setback to the health and safety of thousands of Central Texas families," Doggett said. The House of Representatives voted Tuesday to approve the Pipeline Infrastructure Protection to Enhance Security and Safety Act, which calls for mandatory inspections of all pipelines, better training for pipeline operators, and allowing states to snare the responsibility for enforcing some of these standards. It also includes "community right-to-know" lan­ guage that would provide infor­ mation about the location and condition of pipelines to local offi­ cials The act, which passed 423—4 with IX ‘ggett voting in favor, may b ed >m< law by the end of this year pending Senate approval. Judge: No proof officials at fault BONFIRE, FROM 1 appeal to the the 5th U S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Five other cases are still pending in state court. "M y clients are prepared to fight this all the way to the Supreme Court if necessary," said Darrell Keith, a lawyer representing fami­ lies and surviving victims of the bonfire collapse. A & M hosted an annual bonfire from 1909 until 1999 when the pile, which grew to a height of 59 feet, collapsed, killing 12 students and injuring 27 others. The fire was a spirit-booster held annually before the football game against the University. "The bonfire was such a horrible tragedy," said Ray Bowen, presi­ dent of Texas A&M . "Everything about it was sad." Attorney General John Comyn is representing A&M . His office would not comment on the case because it is ongoing. Bowen formed an independent commission to investigate the acci­ dent and determine the cause of the collapse. In M ay 2000, the com­ mission released tne Final Report of die Special Commission on the 1999 Texas A& M Bonfire. Judge Kent used this report as a definitive record of the collapse and the events leading up to it in his decision to dismiss the cases. Keith said although the court adopted the report as factual, his clients do not accept the report. "That report was bought and paid for by' A& M to the tune of sev­ eral m illion dollars," Keith said. A& M officials were unavailable for comment about the report Judge Kent said he dismissed the case because the plaintiffs could not prove that university officials caused the danger or acted with "deliberate indifference," a stan­ dard that requires the defendant to have a level of w illfu l intent beyond negligence. In federal court, a state institution cannot be sued unless the state grants per­ mission, which Texas did not, or the plaintiff proves the institution caused harm to occur. "The defendants are using tech­ nical defenses to try to get [the cases] dismissed without having to go to court on the m erits," Keith said. According to Kent's decision, the plaintiffs argued that university officials "created a danger by fail­ ing to ensure the Bonfire's structur­ al integrity." He dted several A & M docu­ ments written before the 1999 col­ lapse stating the bonfire was "by its very nature a hazardous activity" and "a very risky undertaking." In fact, university officials did not conduct an investigation after a partial collapse of the bonfire in 1994. No one was hurt in that inci­ dent. Keith said looking into the struc­ ture and dangers of the bonfire after that accident could have led to changes that may have prevented the major collapse in 1999. B u t Kent said, the university also took measures to increase safe­ ty such as lim iting the height of the bonfire to 55 feet, restricting access to the site and creating a "Bonfire Advisor" faculty post. Judge Kent said university offi­ cials were aware of possible dan­ gers, acted negligently and could nave prevented the collapse with "cautionary measures," but he said the officials did not know there was an impending collapse. "This lack of awareness," Kent wrote, "m ight appear naive, and possibly even foolish," but the plaintiffs did not provide enough evidence that the university and its employees could have predicted the collapse. Bowen said he was "pleased" with the judge's decision. "A n issue like a lawsuit is a very small element in a very large and very sad episode," Bowen said.

Where else can you find vintage Nick Drake sandwiched between The Clash, Scritti Politti and Super Furry A nim als? In the coming weeks, Legacy will share reissues from artists such as Miles Davis, Billie Holiday, Bruce Springsteen and many more who helped define m odem music.

From the early evening Emo's m anager Dave Thomson w as seen running around getting everything in order. Thomson is one of the strongest backbones of the local live music scene ánd should be applauded for his dedication to keep Em o's alive and potent. And alive and potent the evening was, as a select group of locals dined and drank at the early pre-party Butthole headliners while Surfers had their soundcheck. It will definitely be remem­ bered as one of tne first times Austin City Limits felt like a com­ edy program . R ock/country crooner Chris Isaak taped an episode of the acclaimed show ’ last Friday night and traded witty one-liners in between his boot-shaking rockabilly tunes. Isaak, a sometimes actor in film and TV, slid perfectly into his charismatic bachelor routine and winked at enough ladies in the room that you'd think he w as selling eyelids. Most memo­ rable w as a rendition of "Baby Did A Bad Bad Thing" that prac­ tically brought the nouse down if not for tne mid-set standing ovation it sparked. As it is television, the band •returned after the set to rework some songs for the taping. One of which w as Isaak's biggest hit, "Wicked Gam e." When you per­ form a fairly perfect ballad such as that, you can play it as many times as you want. Check local listings for the airing of Isaak's perform ance. A lso be on the lookout for upcom ing Austin City Limits tapings from Los Lobos, Ralph Stanley, Norah Jones and possibly even Beck ...

That evening's show w as a sell­ out, and eatm of the performers celebrated the joy of Em o's on stage. It w as more than just a births day party, it w as a rebirth of a legendary club. Speaking of which, don't forget the recently announced show for Clinic and A pples In Stereo on Sept. 28.

The actor decided to leave after finding out that Martin Sheen received a raise that nearly triples his pay to $300,000 an episode, Variety and the New York Post reported, citing anonymous sources. NBC Entertainment President Jeff Zucker wouldn’t discuss the reasons for Lowe’s departure, but confirmed he will be written out of the show in March. “ Rob has been a huge and great part of the program,” Zucker said. “We’re fortunate that he’s going to be with us for virtually the entire year and after that, Sam Seaborn will move on to other things.” Seaborn is the White House deputy communications director that Lowe portrays on the Emmy- winning drama. Lowe has made about $75,000 an episode since the series began in 1999. The other sup­ porting players — Allison Janney, Richard Schiff, John Spencer and Bradley Whitford — banded together last year and negotiated a raise to about $70,000 per show in a deal that keeps them on through the seventh season. — The Associated Press ttEG A L C IN EM A S DIG - D ig ita l S o u n d B a rg a in S h o w s in ( ) Monday Discount Shows All Day excluding ✓ Hhns ♦ N o P a s s e s * N o P a s s e s o r S u p e r S a v e rs JO IN C R O W N C LU B T O D A Y ’ Cali theatre for show information WESTGATE STADIUM 11 S O L A M A R & B E N W H IT E 8 0 0 -b b b T E L L (a n d s a y M o v ie s I K - 1 9 : W I D O W M A K E R ( P G —1 3 ) d i g * ' (12 0 0 1 2 45 3:00 4 00) 6 5 0 7 :30 9 :50 10:35 L O V E L Y & A M A Z I N G ( R ) - I D R E Q U I R E D d i g ( 1 2 1 0 2 :5 0 5 :1 5 )7 5 5 10:05 S T U A R T L I T T L E 2 ( P G ) * d i g » ' (1220 2 3 6 4 40) 7 20 9:20 (11 3 0 12 3 0 2 1 0 3 10 4:50) 7 0 0 TAS 9 :4 0 1 0 2 5 C R O C O D I L E H U N T E R ( P G ) Otó ✓ |12 35 2 45 5:05) 7:10 9:30 4 L I K E M I K E ( P G ) d i g (11:40 2:25 4:45) 7 0 5 9:25 B O U R N E I D E N T I T Y ( P G - 1 3 ) o t o |11 45 2 2 0 4:56) 7 3510:15 M Y B I G F A T G R E E K W E D D I N G ( P G ) d i g (11 35 2 : 0 0 4 1 5 ) 7 4 0 1 0 : 0 0 GATEWAY STADIUM 16 U XA-1 A ' I - I i b !

Express widen first place lead, win 8-3 Anaheim ' Cincinnati Atlanta By Travis R ecek Daily Texan Staff ROUND ROCK — One night after taking sole possession of first place in the Texas League West Division, the Express put more distance between themselves and second place San Antonio, defeating the Missions 8-3. Round Rock continued to swing hot bats Wednesday night, kncx king out two home runs, making it six in the last two games. At the start of the game things weren't looking good for the Express when starter Mike Nannini, struggling to locate the strike zone, quickly walked three of the first four batters to load the bases. But a timely double play off the bat of Jim Homer helped Nannini escape the inning without allowing a run. Providing offense for the Express in con­ secutive nights was Carlos Maldonado, whose1 thnv-run homer in the bottom of the second started the scoring -for Round Rock. Wednesday s home run was Maldonado's second of the season; his first came the night before. "I was looking for the fastball and got it, and just took an aggressive swing at it," Maldonado said. "I'm just seeing the ball well right now." Round Rock added to its lead in the third when John Buck followed Maldonado's lead and hit a three-run homer of his own. Buck's high blast into left field was his 10th of the year anil second in two nights as well. Later in the* inning Maldonado picked up his fourth RBI of the game on a sacrifice fly to center, pushing Round Rock's lead to 7-0. e Express scored again in the fifth and knocked out Missions starter Gustavo Martinez in the process, after he walked two consecutive hitters. Eric Bruntlett took advantage of the walks and pushed a two-out single into right field that scored Jon Topolski. After his shaky first inning, Nannini set­ tled down and shut out the Missions for the next four innings. But he ran into trouble in the sixth when Luis Figueroa got San Antonio's second hit of the game. Andy Barkett followed Figueroa's single with a deep blast over the right field fence to get the Missions on the scoreboard. It was Barketfs third home run of the year and, fol­ lowing the trend, his second in as many nights. Nannini would get the win, his sixth of the year, finishing with six strikeouts in seven innings of work. Max Tremblay came in for Nannini in ti\e eighth and promptly gave up a long home run to the first batter he faced, Adrian Myers. Myers had two hits cm the night and extended his hit streak to 15 games. Tremblay was not shaken by the blast and quickly put away foe final six Mission hitters to close out foe game. Notes: Former Express pitchers Travis Wade and Doug Sessions were brought down from triple-A New Orleans on Wednesday to help foe thin Round Rock bullpen.

Conference scheduled for suit filed against Selig NEW YORK — A federal judge scheduled an Oct. 11 confer­ ence for the racketeering suit filed by Canadian investors against baseball commissioner Bud Selig and former Montreal Expos owner Jeffrey Loria. Fourteen Canadian corpora­ tions filed suit last week in U.S. District Court in Miami, accusing Selig, Loria and their staffs of mail fraud and wire fraud. Loria and Bob DuPuy, baseball’s chief operating officer, have denied the charges, saying the suit was without merit. Jeffrey Kessler, a lawyer for Loria’s limited partners, said on Wednesday that U.S. District Judge Ursula M. Ungaro Benages scheduled the confer­ ence. Kessler will try to work out details of document discovery with baseball’s lawyers, who are expected to resist handing over documents and to move for the case to be dismissed. “Wfe’ll start negotiating with the other side about schedules," Kessler said. ‘The conference resolves anything not agreed to." Kessler said last week that if baseball attempts to move the Expos or to fold the franchise after this season, his side will ask for an injunction that would keep the team in place pending a trial.
