Jury Rules in Favor of Ex-Padres Player Brian Giles

1. Former San Diego Padre outfielder Brian Giles emerged the victor Friday in a palimony case involving a former girlfriend, who claimed he abused her and owed her money for failing to live up to the terms of a prenuptial agreement. Following a three-week trial, a San Diego jury determined there was no breach of contract regarding the agreement and also found that 34-year-old Cheri Olvera must give back a $108,000 engagement ring or pay Giles that amount.

2. The parking lot in front of Terminal 2 at Lindbergh Field will be closed Monday, for up to two years, as part of a project to expand the building, airport officials said Friday. The airport has paved over some ground just beyond the terminal, to provide about the same number of spaces, Bryan Ennerson, the vice president of
development for the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority, said at a news
conference.

3. University of San Diego President Mary Lyons said Friday that allegations of point-shaving in the men's basketball program will not be a "defining moment'' for the school. At a news conference, Lyons also expressed her ``unwavering support''
for athletic director Ky Snyder and men's basketball coach Bill Grier.
