WASHINGTON Impoverished children wipe their runny eyes and spread a blinding infection to their parents, who eventually must feel their way down dusty village roads with canes. This is the vicious cycle of trachoma, a painful infec­ tion that has blinded 6 million people in the world’s poorest countries. Now a drug giant is banding with health officials in five of the most afflicted nations to help them battle back. Key to the $66 million program are free doses of an antibiotic so powerful that patients may need just one dose a year, and teaching children that a mere three handfuls of scarce clean water can wash the sight- stealing germs off their faces. “The disease is largely forgotten," said Paula Luff of Pfizer Inc., which is donating its pricey antibiotic Zithromax to the program in Ghana, Mali, Morocco, Tanzania and Vietnam. However, she said, “The impact is tremendous on fam­ ilies and communities.” Smoking linked to impotence

After the release of five singles from the album, Third Eye Blind has had a single in Othe top 100 since it’s release in April 1997. It’s latest single, “Jumper” can be found currently in the top 30 and played on MTV’s heavy rotation. The first two releases from the album, “Semi- Charmed Life ” and “How’s It Gonna Be,” gave the band THIRD EVE BLIND a door into the alternative world of music and brought their album to platinum sales. Both singles went num­ ber one and were played so often that Monk Malloy has probably heard the songs. “Semi-Charmed Life” is a fast, upbeat song with a catchy tune that can get stuck in your head for hours. “How’s It Gonna Be,” written by lead vocalist Stephan Jenkins and lead guitarist Kevin Cardogan, is a power­ ful song portraying relationships and what could hap­ pen if a couple grows apart from each other. The remainder of the band includes Brad Hargreaves on the drums and Avion Salazar on bass. The band’s self-titled debut has a melodic diversity and lyrics that are intense and heartbreaking. It fea­ tures characters who are outsiders messing up in life and trying to find their place in society. Jenkins’s songs tell stories about people we love and hate at the same time: characters who are both flawed and beautiful. Other songs on the CD include three other releases “Losing a Whole Year,” “Graduate” and the current release “Jumper.” The band made an appearance last year on MTV’s “Road Rules” for this song. The song is about trying to help a friend who is thinking about committing suicide and helping them “step back from that ledge.” On the “Road Rules” show, the band did a benefit concert to help promote suicide awareness and donated their profits from the show to a local suicide prevention foundation and hot­ line. “Narcolepsy,” “I Want You,” “Thanks A Lot” and “God Of Wine” arc some of the other songs that have helped this CD reach its success. Finding a CD that you can put in your player without having to skip around to only certain songs you like is hard to find. Fortunately, this CD is one of those that you can put in and just let it play, from the first song to the last. Investing in Third Eye Blind’s latest album will defi­ nitely be a smart decision and add a great CD to your collection.

CINCINNATI The Atlanta Braves began retooling their roster Tuesday by acquiring Gold Glove second baseman Bret Boone from the Cincinnati Reds for starter Denny Neagle and outfielder Michael PSYCORE THE CANDYSKINS Tucker. Your Problem Death Of A Minor TV Celebrity The Braves also got left-handed reliever Mike Remlinger and gave up minor league pitcher Rob Bell, who led the Carolina League with 197 strikeouts last season. After failing to make it to the World Series for a second consec­ utive season, the Braves were willing to give up a key component in their splendid rotation to upgrade their lineup. Neagle, 30, went 16-11 with a 3.55 ERA last season, when he was one of five Atlanta starters to win at least 16 games. "We felt we were overwhelmed and had to make a deal,” Reds general manager Jim Bowden said of Atlanta’s offer. Nine teams approached the Reds about Boone, who won his first Gold Glove and made his first All-Star team last season. A Boone, 29, led the Reds with 24 homers and 95 RBIs, all career highs. LESS THAN JAKE ORGY “I hated to trade Bret,” general manager Jim Bowden said. Hello Rockview C andyass “He’s someone I’ve been probably the closest to in my baseball career. It was the most difficult thing I’ve had to do. We paid a big price but without starting pitching, you can’t compete.” The Braves have been looking to improve their everyday lineup after another flame-out in the playoffs. Atlanta has won seven straight division titles but only one World Series in the ‘90s.
