Just two shapes: rectangle and star. No pic tures, no writing, nothing to inter fere with the strong, spare elegance of the Lone Star flag. Deep in the heart of Texas,-some folks mistakenly fly the flag upside down. Along the flag’s left side is a blue perpendicular bar with a white star. The right two-thirds are divided into two horizontal stripes of white over red. “Because you have this blue vertical strip that runs next to the grommets, if you don’t pay attention, it’s very easy to put upside down," said Charles Spain Jr., a Houston lawyer whose humilia tion at making that mistake as a schoolboy led to a lifelong fasci nation with the flag. He is now secretary of the Vexillological As sociation of the State of Texas. Vexillologists are flag experts. Donna Ohland, a 50-year-old real estate manager, flies a Texas ,^111 belonged flag at her house. Last summer she learned she was inadvertently signaling distress by flyine MBK which the flag with the red stripe at the top. “Somebody told me that it’s something to do with ‘the blood runs down,’ so thaVs why you have to have the white on top,” she said. The Texas prison system has its own method of avoiding that mistake. “White is for ‘clouds up.’ Clouds are always up,” said Ronnie Bond, who super vises female inmates who sew flags for governmental use. “I don’t think people really know how it's supposed to go.” It’s a problem worth contemplating on Texas Flag Day, which is today. Flag Day is celebrated on Texas Independence Day, which marks the day in 1836 when Texas broke away from Mexico. The Lone Star flag, adopted in 1839. is more distinctive than other state flags — more than half of which have the state seal on a blue background. It was designed to fly over an independent nation, the Republic of Texas. emy Bros 'attalion The Aggie sv iw tired they \ Texas A. vine team hac ,ig 12 champ ic I*!

Or so Forbes figures. Using a formula that combines the two, the magazine said Tom Cruise tops its latest Celebrity 100 list. Hollywood stars and athletes dominated the list, released Thursday, with 26 coming from the world of sports, including No. 2 Tiger Woods. Chefs, models and authors made it too, as well as what the magazine called “the non celebrity celebrity, courtesy of reality television.” Richard Hatch, the winner of last sum mer’s “Survivor,” ranked 77th. Making the top 10 were three teen sensations People in the News Cruise, who starred in last summer’s biggest box-office suc cess, Mission: Impossible 2, vault ed to No. 1 from No. 20 last year. Not only did he earn much more money in 2000 than in 1999 ($43.2 million vs. $27 million), but his media exposure increased dramatically. The top 10 in order: Tom Cruise, Tiger Woods, the Beaties, Britney Spears, Bruce Willis, Michael Jordan, the Backstreet Boys, ’N Sync, Oprah Winfrey and Mel Gibson. REAGA) Ann-Margaret quits role to take care of her mother CRUISE Britney Spears, the Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync. Jennifer Lopez, who recently had the No. 1 movie and album in the country, made her debut on the list, as did Ben Affleck and the “Friends” women: Jennifer Anis- ton, Courteney Cox-Arquette and Lisa Kudrow. The third annual Forbes Celebrity 100 quahtified celebrity by combining earning power with, star power, including press clips, TV and radio mentions, cover sto ries and Web hits. In its March 19 issue, Forbes first determined who made the cut by totaling up top celebrity earners in 14 cate gories. Then media attention and other “metrics of fame” were fac-. tored in. Last year’s No. 1, Julia Roberts/ fell to No. 16 despite her hit movie Erin Brockovich and being the odds-on favorite for the best-ac tress Oscar later this month. « “She just didn’t make as much money this year as she did last year,” said Pete Newcomb, the se nior editor who oversaw compila tion of the list. Noting that Forbes considers it self a capitalist tool and not a pop-culture bible like Entertain ment Weekly, he said: “Money gets the priority weight.” SCHENECTADY, N.Y. (AP) — Ac tress Ann-Margret canceled re maining perfor mances at a theater here to return home to California to care for her critically ill mother, produc ers said. Ann-Margret’s mother’s “condi tion has wors ened,” according to a statement on Wednesday from Proctor’s Theatre in this city west of Albany.
