While the Raiders and representatives for Hall are "still ironing out" parts of the deal, Hall planned to arrive in the Bay Area today, the person said on condition of anonymity because the deal had not been completed. Hall would need to pass a physical after a deal is reached. The Falcons would acquire from Oakland at least a second-rounpick, the 34th overall, in next month's draft. The teams are still negotiating whether Oakland would need to send additional compensation to Atlanta, the person said.

"We're just going to have to do what we always done: We just have to skate a strong (original dance) and free dance," Agosto said. "I think the programs we have this year are the strongest we ever had" Belbin and Agosto arrived as favorites to win the dance title after European and Grand Prix champions Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin withdrew because of his injury. The Americans had devoted extra time this year to compulsories, considered their weakness, in hopes of starting strong at worlds. But Belbin stumbled and fell while performing a rotating turn on one foot, called a rwizzle, during their Argentine tango. Falls in compulsories where every couple skates the same pattern for two rotations around the rink are extremely rare, and the Argentine tango is considered a relatively simple dance. Isa-bel- If t. .. 'ith spring just around the corner, Utah's Division of Wildlife Resources, is warning "shed" hunters to be careful. In a recent DWR report issued by Mark Hadley, officials remind those individuals, as you look this spring for antlers shed by big game animals, it's important to look for them only on foot. Remember to keep your vehicle and truck only on roads and trails that are open to their use. If you take your OHV or truck off of legal roads and trails, you can do serious damage to the habitat that deer, elk and other wildlife rely on. The ground is muddy in the early spring. Vehicles can easily leave deep tracks this time of the year. Those tracks cause erosion and reduce the land's ability to support deer, elk and other wildlife. And the scars take years to heal. They're an eyesore that causes people to further oppose OHV use and shed antler hunting. If you'll follow some simple rules provided by the Division of Wildlife Resources, you can have fun collecting shed antlers without damaging the landscape and causing animals stress: I Once you arrive at your shed antler hunting area, park your vehicle and hunt for shed antlers on foot. I Once you've found some antlers, pack them to the nearest road. Then leave them near the side of the road until you can drive back to pick them up. Please leave the area as good as you found it. Don't be responsible for more land closures and vehicle restrictions in Utah. NOTE: In northern Utah, ' you may not collect shed antlers until April 12. The shed antler gathering season in northern Utah runs from April 12, 2008, to Jan. 31, 2009. Across the rest of Utah, you can collect antlers d Arena Football Blaze send DL Schroeder to Orlando for DB Mason Dallas John ON e mance-enhancin- g LOS ANGELES UCLA's Kevin lave and lut Richard Mbah Moute are on the mend from injuries sustained in last weekend's Pac-1- tournament, ah hough coach Ben Howland was vague on whether Mbah a Moute would play in Thursday's NCAA tournament opener.
