ECONOMY TODAY-PLASMA

THE DOW JONES INDUSTRIAL AVERAGE HAS BEEN FLIRTING WITH 14 THOUSAND, A LEVEL IT HASN'T SEEN SINCE OCTOBER 2007.

BUT NEW NUMBERS JUST RELEASED SHOW THE U.S. ECONOMY SHRANK FROM OCTOBER THROUGH DECEMBER FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE RECESSION ENDED.

ECONOMY TODAY-PKG

It looks and feels like a comeback.

Stocks and the nation's Housing market are both soaring.

The Dow Jones nearly hit the 14-thousand mark yesterday, closing at 13

,954 -- its highest level in five years.

After an increase of 850 points in January, the Dow is only 200 points away

from its all time high.

The result: Americans' investments are surging.

The average 401k retirement account has increased about 20 percent in

the last year, from $64,000 to roughly $80,000.

SOT Jon Hilsenrath, The Wall Street Journal

"THESE WORST CASE SCENARIOS THAT PEOPLE WERE LOOKING AT IN 2008, / THEY CAN

START TO SAY ALRIGHT, WE'RE NOT GOING TO GO THERE."

On the housing front, home prices rose five-and-a-half percent in November

compared to a year ago.

It was the biggest year to year increase since the housing bubble.

SOT Barbara Corcoran, Business Consultant

"THIS IS A MIRACLE IN MOTION. WE HAVEN'T SEEN THIS IN PROBABLY SEVEN YEARS."

Housing prices have gone up ten months in a row. Up the most in

Phoenix -- nearly 23 percent.

So why are buyers lining up? For starters, interest rates are historically

low.

MORE PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES COULD BE IN THE MIDDLE OF A BRAND NEW CHEATING SCANDAL.

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL CONFIRMS IT'S IN THE MIDST OF AN INVESTIGATION INTO ALLEGATIONS OF PLAYERS USING PERFORMANCE-ENHANCING DRUGS.

THIS COMES AFTER A FLORIDA NEWSPAPER LINKED THE PLAYERS TO A MIAMI CLINIC IT SAYS IS UNDER FEDERAL INVESTIGATION FOR ALLEGEDLY SUPPLYING DRUGS TO WHAT THE PAPER CALLS "SPORTS' BIGGEST NAMES."

SPORTS AND DRUGS-PKG

THE ANTI AGING CLINIC WAS CALLED BIOGENESIS. IT WAS RUN OUT OF THIS OFFICE BUILDING IN CORAL GABLES, FLORIDA, UNTIL ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO WHEN IT SHUTDOWN. NOW, THE VACANT BUSINESS IS THE CENTER OF YET ANOTHER SAGA OF PERFORMANCE ENHANCING DRUGS -- PED'S -- AND MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL PLAYERS.

A REPORT PUBLISHED IN THE MIAMI NEW TIMES, SAYS THIS CLINIC WAS A PIPELINE TO PEDS FOR SEVERAL PLAYERS.

"Well its clear that biogenesis like a lot of anti aging clinics was selling a lot of hgh, a number of other drugs you know they're widely banned in sports testoserone, anabolic steroids. The records that we've seen indicate as for the average population he was providing these same kind of drugs to professional athletes."

And they're banned substances?

That's correct."

ACCORDING TO MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL, THREE PLAYERS NAMED IN THE ARTICLE WHICH LINKS THEM TO THE CLINIC HAVE ALREADY BEEN DISCIPLINED UNDER THE LEAGUES JOINT DRUG PROGRAM.

IN A STATEMENT, MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL SAYS, "WE ARE IN THE MIDST OF AN ACTIVE INVESTIGATION AND ARE GATHERING AND REVIEWING INFORMATION. WE WILL REFRAIN FROM FURTHER COMMENT UNTIL THIS PROCESS IS COMPLETE."

REPRESENTATIVES OF NEW YORK YANKEE ALEX RODRIGUEZ IDENTIFIED IN THE NEW TIMES ARTICLE -- BUT NOT NAMED AS BEING DISCIPLINED -- ISSUED THIS OUTRIGHT DENIAL:

"THE NEWS REPORTS ABOUT A PURPORTED RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ALEX RODRIGUEZ AND ANTHONY BOSCH ARE NOT TRUE. ALEX ROGRIGUEZ WAS NOT MR. BOSCH'S PATIENT, HE WAS NEVER TREATED BY HIM AND HE WAS NEVER ADVISED BY HIM."

GEO GONZALEZ, A WASHINGTON NATIONALS PITCHER WHO WAS ALSO NAMED IN THE ARTICLE TWEETED:

"I'VE NEVER USED PERFORMANCE ENHANCING DRUGS OF ANY KIND AND I NEVER WILL. I'VE NEVER MET OR SPOKEN WITH TONY BOSCH OR USED ANY SUBSTANCES."

TONY BOSCH, THE MAN BOTH PLAYERS REFERENCED, RAN THE CLINIC ACCORDING TO THE NEW TIMES AND OTHERS IN THE BUILDING WHERE THE CLINIC WAS LOCATED. WE TRIED BUT HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REACH BOSCH FOR COMMENT. THE DEA WOULDN'T COMMENT ON WHETHER BOSCH OR BIOGENESIS IS BEING INVESTIGATED.
