JUPITER, Fla. -- With Opening Day looming, Orioles All-Star third baseman Melvin Mora has been unable to work out a contract extension with the Orioles, and this morning's meeting with team owner Peter Angelos may be the last chance. Mora, who is entering the final season of his three-year, $10.5 million deal, has said that he won't negotiate during the season. The third baseman has heavily considered cutting off the negotiations at a couple of points this spring, but the Orioles and his agent, Lon Babby, have talked him out of it. He has said from the beginning that he wants to stay in Baltimore, where he and his wife and their six kids live year-round; however, he is also open to leaving via free agency if he doesn't get what he thinks is a fair offer.

WASHINGTON -- After clashing with Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, the director of the government's third largest intelligence agency will be leaving his position in June, according to current and former government officials. For the past four years, James R. Clapper Jr. has headed the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, which collects intelligence mainly from high-powered satellite photos and produces detailed maps for other government agencies. Clapper, 64, joined the NGA in September 2001.

After lifting the Maryland women's basketball program back to relevance over the past two years, Brenda Frese has received a two-year contract extension and the likelihood of greater visibility through a reality-type television show.

Beyond the base compensation of $184,540, salary details were not disclosed.

Coach Paul Johnson was rewarded with a contract extension yesterday after turning around the moribund Navy football program in less than two years.

Financial terms were not disclosed. After going 2-10 in Johnson's first year, the Midshipmen are 7-4 this fall with only their annual rivalry against winless Army remaining, unless a bowl invitation is extended thereafter.
