Evacuation by Baytown woman proves riskier than staying home
Ruth Henderson of Baytown says evacuating to Lufkin for Hurricane Rita put her in greater danger than remaining in her air conditioned Baytown home. She drove 13 hours, though the trip normally takes under four, and about 3 a.m. the hurricane tore a 40 foot porch covering from the sheltering house. Henderson, who has endured Baytown hurricanes since 1926, plans not to evacuate again.

MLB players accept harsher penalties under review
MLB players would approve a 20 game ban for first offenses and support amphetamine testing, but the union’s bid falls short of Bud Selig’s demand for a 50 game first offense, 100 game second offense, and a lifetime third offense. Fehr says the aim is to deter steroid use, not just appease critics.

Cowboys recovery mood after San Francisco comeback
Cowboys players and coach Bill Parcells endured a slow postgame week in California after a Sunday win over the 49ers. The group, amid autograph seekers and limited distractions at San Jose State, discussed coaching miscues, a risky fake punt, and a missed extra point that sparked a lineman confrontation between Larry Allen and Jose Cortez. Parcells stressed the win's value and reviewed film with staff, while noting Condo’s uncertain deep snap.
