Veteran service groups misused $10M

By LISA CORNWELL The Associated Press CINCINNATI A state investigation alleging more than $10 million in charitable funds held by veterans services organizations for job training and other services was misused also found that some veterans posts in Ohio set up fake career centers instead of using the money to help unemployed veterans. The Ohio attorney generals office said an agreement between the state and the Columbus-based AMVETS Department of Ohio, Ohio AMVETS Career Center and AMVETS Department of Ohio Service Foundation requires reforms that include revamped accounting and reporting practices, written financial policies and the removal of personnel in various AMVETS offices and boards. Attorney General Mike DeWine says AMVETS officials have cooperated and started some reforms. He says veterans need the assistance and going forward we will make sure they get it. An attorney generals spokeswoman said Wednesday that no criminal charges have been filed so far. Spokeswoman Lisa Hackley said she couldnt say what may have specifically triggered the investigation that began last year. The probe found some of the 59 AMVETS posts in Ohio set up satellite career centers that were only facades, amounting to little more than an outdated computer in a corner, according to court documents filed Tuesday in Franklin County Common Pleas Court in Columbus. Some used the money intended for centers to reimburse themselves for items such as rent for the centers and to pay a member as a career center coach, who often did little more than register veterans for an online course, the documents state. Investigators who posed as veterans in need of job help said that they were often told a computer wasnt working or that a post had no career center. State officials say the more than $10 million sent back to posts by the AMVETS Career Center over a six-year period from Jan. 1, 2006, through May 31, 2012, was for creation of satellite centers to provide veterans with training and employment services. Ohio law allows AMVETS posts to keep 75 percent of their licensed gambling profits, with 25 percent required to go to a public charity. Fifty-nine posts made the Ohio career center the designated charity for their bingo profits and contracted with the center to operate the satellite centers. About 85 percent of the funds sent to the Ohio center went back to the posts, and posts members and AMVETS Career Center officials characterized payments to the posts as kickbacks, according to the documents. The investigation also found that over the six years, about $1.8 million diverted to the AMVETS Department of Ohio was used to subsidize non-charitable department activities, including payroll and travel reimbursements, Hackley said. Sandy Vorhies, state commander

Ohio AG probe

of AMVETS Department of Ohio, said AMVETS officials are angry that veterans did not receive needed services and have fired several people who contributed to the problems. A department statement Wednesday said that it appreciates DeWines assistance in identifying inefficiencies in the career center program and will continue to make the changes needed to ensure veterans receive services. Len Proper, executive director of the newly reformed Ohio AMVETS Career Center that will be renamed, said Wednesday that the reforms will allow me to take this organization where it needs to go. DeWine said in court documents that most of the charitable money was spent and requiring posts to repay it would only result in insolvency without helping the organizations or veterans. Fifty-nine posts in separate agreements have agreed to fund the newly reformed career center

VW Hospital offering free cessation program for smokers

Information submitted VAN WERT One of the toughest, yet most important steps toward a healthier life is to give up smoking. Van Wert Hospital is teaming with the American Cancer Society to provide a free way for local residents to quit. According to an American Cancer Society report, smokers who quit can expect to live up to 10 years longer than those who continue to smoke. Quitting is hard, but smokers can increase their chances of success with help. The American Cancer Societys FreshStart program is designed to help participants stop smoking by providing them with all of the essential information and strategies needed to direct their own efforts at stopping. The program focuses on an active pragmatic approach to quitting smoking through active participation and group support. Participants are encouraged to apply what they learn in FreshStart to other aspects of their lives. The program will meet on Tuesdays from 11:45 a.m. - 1 p.m. beginning April 2, and runns through April 23. Sessions meet at Van Wert Hospital, 1250 S. Washington St. Interested individuals may register for this free series by calling 419-238-2390, extension 345. Research shows that much of the risk of premature death from smoking could be prevented by quitting. Smokers who quit, regardless of age, live longer than people who continue to smoke. Smokers who quit reduce their risk of lung cancer 10 years after quitting, the lung cancer death rate is about half that of a continuing smokers. Quitting also lowers the risk for other major diseases, including heart disease and stroke. Quitting smoking is an important step towards reducing your cancer risk and celebrating more birthdays, said Marybeth Torsell, health initiatives representative. The FreshStart program provides great tips and tools to help you beat the urge to smoke. There has never been a better time to quit!

Arsenal of weapons found in Newtown gunmans home

By JOHN CHRISTOFFERSEN The Associated Press NEW HAVEN, Conn. An arsenal of weapons including guns, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, a bayonet and several swords was found in the home and car of the gunman who carried out the Newtown school shooting, according to search warrants released today. Adam Lanza killed 26 people inside Sandy Hook Elementary School and took his own life within five minutes of shooting his way into the building, States Attorney Stephen J. Sedensky III said in a statement accompanying the release of the warrants in the Dec. 14 massacre. Lanza was found dead in the school wearing military-style clothing. The extensive inventory of the evidence seized from Lanzas home and the car he drove to carry out the massacre provided glimpses into the world of the reclusive gunman. Prosecutors until now had made few details available, despite pressure to do so from the governor, who criticized leaks to the press and lawmakers who clamored for more details as they craft legislation on mental health and gun control. Sedensky says Lanza killed all 26 victims inside Sandy Hook Elementary School with a Bushmaster .223-caliber rifle before taking his own life with a Glock 10 mm handgun. He says Lanza had another loaded handgun with him inside the school as well as three, 30-round magazines for the Bushmaster. A loaded 12-gauge shotgun was found in the glove compartment of the Honda Civic Lanza drove to the school with two magazines containing 70 rounds of Winchester 12-gauge shotgun rounds. At the house, investigators found books about autism and Aspergers syndrome as well as an NRA guide to pistol shooting. Police said they found a smashed computer hard drive and a gaming console in Lanzas bedroom. An unnamed source told investigators that Lanza was an avid gamer who played Call of Duty and other games and

STATE/LOCAL
Dow reports that a typical residential cluster of 350 solar singles on a roof could slash ones household electric bill by 40-60 percent. Such an installation can cost a homeowner over $20,000, but federal, state and local incentives can bring the cost to half that in some areas. Powerhouse shingles are currently available (from Dow-authorized contractors) in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, North Carolina, Texas and Washington, D.C. Another leader in solar shingles is building products manufacturer CertainTeed. The companys Apollo line of grid-tied monocrystalline solar shingles and roofing tiles offers efficiency similar to larger bolt-on photovoltaic arrays at around the same price (and incentives similar to those for Dow may also apply) but with less bulk: Each Apollo tile is less than an inch thick and will integrate with, replace, or lay on top of existing asphalt roof shingles or tiles and generate 12 watts of power per square foot. CertainTeed says a typical installation will save homeowners 40-70 percent on their electric bills. Their Apollo products are available across the U.S. but the company recommends using one of their authorized roofing contractors to make sure they are installed properly. Now is an especially good time to go solarshingles or otherwisebecause costs have started to come down and the federal government is still offering 30 percent tax credits with no cap on the purchase of solar electricity equipment. Twenty-seven states and several cities offer additional incentives that can get pricing on solar gear and installations down even lower.

1913 Flood Exhibit at the Allen County Museum

Information submitted One hundred years ago, beginning on Easter Sunday, a series of successive late winter storms ripped through the midwest causing death and destruction in many states. Ohio was especially hard hit by what became known as the Great Flood of 1913. Virtually every part of the state was under water. Nearly 500 people lost their lives and the damage to property soared to millions of dollars. On March 25, 1913, Lima residents anxiously watched the Ottawa River rise to unprecedented levels. Fire, police and volunteer responders used boats and skiffs to rescue stranded residents. The swiftly moving current took chicken coops, outhouses, pianos, and even the Central Avenue bridge. By the next day, hundreds of residents were homeless. Lima experienced one fatality in the flood. In remembrance of the

AKRON (AP) The U.S. Department of Justice says it has signed off on a settlement that will end a discrimination lawsuit filed by female jail guards in northeast Ohio. The women said they had been effectively demoted because Summit County officials in Akron didnt want them overseeing male inmates while the inmates showered or were strip searched. A federal judge still has to approve the final agreement. Under the agreement, all jail jobs will be open to female deputies. The county agreed to pay $400,000, more than half in damages to 21 deputies and the rest in legal fees.

E - The Environmental Magazine Dear EarthTalk: Im getting my roof redone and have heard about solar shingles. Are they availableand are they practical for the Northeast? John Denson, Glastonbury, CT Solar shingles are photovoltaic cells designed to look like and integrate with conventional asphalt roof shingles. First commercially available in 2005, solar shingles were much more costly than traditional bolton photovoltaic panels, and thus were used mainly by those wanting to go solar but maintain a traditional roofline. But more recently solar shingles have become pricecompetitive with bolt-on panels, and are getting much more popular accordingly. Ecoconscious home and building owners might find solar shingles especially attractive when they are re-shingling anyway since the solar shingles also double as functional, protective and weatherproof roof shingles in their own right. The biggest name in solar shingles is Dows Powerhouse line, which uses cutting edge Copper Indium Gallium Selenide solar cells (aka thin-film solar) to turn sunlight into electricity via a supplied inverter box. The Powerhouse shingles generate 12 watts per square foot and are grid-tied, meaning theyre designed for structures already connected to the power grid and can send excess power back to the grid. They are wireless, snap together and can be installed by regular roofing contractors just like (or alongside) conventional asphalt shingles (an electrician needs to set up the inverter box).

Racinos delayed by demand for more seating

COLUMBUS (AP) Construction on two Ohio racinos will be delayed after regulators decided to require more enclosed seating from which spectators can view two racetracks. The Ohio State Racing Commission voted Wednesday to require Penn National Gaming to add 650 more seats in climate-controlled areas at tracks in Dayton and Austintown, a Youngstown suburb. Officials from Penn National say redesigning the racinos delays the projects by several months at least. The commission previously demanded more seating at the Lebanon racino being built in southwest Ohio. The panel is concerned that racinos might emphasize video lottery gambling more and short-change fans of live horse racing. New rules allow Ohios horse tracks to add slots-like gambling. Some tracks are renovating to add the video terminal games, while others are building new tracks.

COLUMBUS In-state students are Ohio State Universitys first priority as a publicly funded school, university president Gordon Gee said Wednesday in explaining why he isnt also proposing a tuition freeze for out-of-state students. Gee plans to formally propose the in-state tuition freeze to Ohio State trustees next week. Annual in-state tuition and fees at Ohio States flagship campus in Columbus is $10,037, compared to $25,445 for out-of-state students. Gee said the university will do all it can to help out-of-state students through scholarships, and wants the university to be competitively priced for all students. Were looking very clearly to remain competitive at the out-of-state level, he said. The differential obviously always is that we belong to the people of the state so theyre our first priority. Gee has said Ohio State is able to freeze tuition at a time of diminished state funding and uncertain federal dollars because it has looked for other revenue. State projections indicate most of Ohios publicly funded higher education institutions will receive increases in the first year of Gov. John Kasichs proposed $63.2 billion, two-year budget, with 17 of the states 61 universities, branch campuses and community colleges expected to receive cuts. State higher education funding rises overall in the budgets first year, about 2 percent to $1.78 billion. Ohio State is expected to receive a 3 percent increase under the plan, with three branch campuses experiencing cuts. Kent State and Cleveland State would see increases of more than 5 percent, Wright State of 3.5 percent and others smaller increases. Overall, funding for five universities, seven branch campuses and five community colleges is expected to be cut. The Ohio House is currently preparing its version of the budget, which must be finalized by the end of June. WARREN (AP) The organizer of a funeral fund for the six teens killed in a northeast Ohio SUV crash say donations from as far away as Los Angeles pushed the total past $42,000. Bob Dean, who set up the account at a bank to accept the money, tells The (Youngstown) Vindicator that the $42,600 was distributed to pay for funeral expenses last week.

Superintendents compensation questioned

MEDINA (AP) The president of the Medina school board in northeast Ohio resigned as the district deals with questions about spending and the superintendents compensation, which included about $265,000 for his college education bills. The local teachers union criticized the Medina boards oversight and superintendent Randy Stepps handling of the fund that supplied the payments for his education, The Medina Gazette reported. Board members have said they didnt realize the total was so high. Board President Charles Freeman resigned Tuesday, calling the controversy a distraction from focusing on students. It is my sincere hope that with new leadership, the board, union, teachers, administrators and community can again come together and place our collective focus where it belongs: on the kids, he wrote in a letter to the board. John Leatherman, president of the Medina City Teachers Association, told the newspaper Freemans resignation is probably the start of what needs to happen for the community and the district to heal. Board members were expected to talk about a plan to improve spending oversight Wednesday night in Medina, about 30 miles southwest of Cleveland. The board had encouraged Stepps pursuit of a masters in business administration from Case Western Reserve University, which cost $93,000. Stepp, who had a masters and doctorate, also had $172,000 in college loans that were covered by the district under a 2011 modification of his contract. Checks to cover those

Recently solar shingles have become price-competitive with bolt-on panels, and are getting much more popular accordingly. On top of that, federal, state and local incentives can bring the cost down considerably more. Pictured: solar shingles from the Dow Powerhouse line. (Tai Viinikka, courtesy Flickr)

Funeral fund for 6 teens tops $42,000

The six teens drowned March 10 when a speeding SUV struck a guardrail and flipped into a swampy pond in Warren, about 50 miles southeast of Cleveland. Authorities say the 19-year-old driver didnt have a valid license. Dean says the money was used to pay for a variety of funeral expenses. The gravesites at a local cemetery were provided by an anonymous donor.

costs were issued by the Medina County Schools Educational Service Center, using a fund that contains money left over after districts pay the center for its services. The teachers association has criticized the board for not being aware about how the fund was used. A spokesman for state Auditor Dave Yost told the newspaper earlier this week that Yost was informed of the circumstances and was concerned, but the office hadnt decided whether to take action. The conflict over the spending comes as the Medina school board is poised to approve a new contract for its roughly 400 teachers that includes higher health insurance costs for employees and no pay increases, other than those for having more time in service or more college coursework.

Most insurance plans accepted and payment plans are available.

Corn planter adjustment

BY JAMES J. HOORMAN Ag educator OSU-Extension Putnam County Regardless of the weather, it is now time to start checking the corn planter and making adjustments. First, read the operators manual to achieve maximum performance. Second, leveling the corn planter is critical to getting excellent corn yields. It is advisable to use the same tractor year after year when planting corn, however do not assume that the planter is level. Wear and tear on tires, changes in the tool bar, and additional weight on the planter or tractor may change planter performance The University of Wi s c o n s i n - A g r o n o m y Department offers the following planter adjustments recommendations: If a planter is not level, the seeding depth may be shallower or deeper than desired. Make sure the tool bar is parallel and the planter is level from front to rear and from side to side. Leveling pull-type planters primarily involves adjusting the hitch position and setting the cylinder stop on the carrying wheels. To level from front to rear, the hitch can be raised or lowered by adjusting the bolt position where the hitch clevis attaches to the planter tongue. Three-point lift arms or gauge wheels can be used to establish the proper height of the tool bar above the ground on semi-mounted and mounted planters. To level these planters from side to side, adjustments may be required in both the gauge wheels and the lift arms. Top link adjustments generally are used to level mounted planters from front to rear. The cylinderstop on lift assist wheels are used for front to rear leveling semi-mounted planters. To achieve uniform soil penetration, planters used in no-till may require more weight than ones used in tilled soil. Down-pressure springs generally are used to transfer weight from the toolbar to the row units. Usually located on the parallel linkage supporting the row units, down pressure springs may need tightening to achieve greater soil penetration. Replace worn or broken parts as needed. Check shafts, bearings, seals and gaskets for wear and replace them as necessary. Pay close attention to fiberglass and plastic parts since they may become brittle and crack with age. Replace worn parts, especially in the seed metering and drive components. Lubricate all chains and grease fittings and replace if necessary. Check all bolts and clamps for proper tightness. The biggest mistake farmers during planting is driving too fast, with a range of three to five miles per hour recommended. Under cloddy or rough field conditions, ground speed should be lower to avoid equipment bounce and subsequent slippage of the drive, loss of depth control and inadequate seed covering. Finger pickup planters tend to increase seeding rates at higher field speeds because more than one kernel may be dropped at a time. Problems with air planters vary depending on the design, but at higher speeds, skips or doubles may occur. Seeding rates are reduced with plate planters because the seeds do not always drop into the cells at higher speeds. Slippage of drive units (carrying wheels, press wheels, or coulters) which drive the seeding meter may result in seeding rates that are less than desired. Slippage of press wheel drives may occur more often than with carrying or gauge wheels because they operate in soil loosened by the seed furrow opener. While additional weight or down-pressure springs can reduce press wheel slippage, too much weight on the press

Fertilizer label and application rate

BY JIM LOPSHIRE Extension Educator OSU-Extension, Paulding All fertilizers will have a series of three numbers displayed prominently on the label. These numbers represent the percentage by weight of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. For instance, a 24-4-8 fertilizer will have 24 percent nitrogen, 4 percent phosphorous as P2O5, and 8 percent potassium as K2O. A 46-0-0 fertilizer will have 46 percent nitrogen and no phosphorous and potassium. Though all three elements are important in maintaining a healthy turf stand, nitrogen will cause the greatest response. Because of this, most fertilizer recommendations for lawns are listed as pounds of nitrogen per 1000 square feet. If late fall fertilizer was applied last October or November, then make only one fertilizer application this By MARTHA IRVINE The Associated Press spring, preferably in late April or early May, using no more than pound actual nitrogen per 1000 square feet. If a late fall fertilizer was not applied, then make two applications this spring; the first application in early April, the other in mid to late May using 3/4 pound actual N per 1,000 square feet each time. Fertilizing with phosphorus and potassium is also important in maintaining a healthy lawn. The best way to determine how much phosphorus and potassium to apply annually is to follow the recommendations of a soil test. In lieu of a soil test, a general recommendation is to apply 1/4 as much phosphorus and 1/2 as much potassium as nitrogen. For a one year fertilization cycle, if you apply 4 pounds nitrogen per 1000 square feet per year, you should apply 1 pound phosphorus and 2 pounds potassium per 1,000 square feet per year.

Ohio State University (Greg LaBarge and Peter Thomison) recommends the following tips to reduce plant space variability: Check finger pickups for wear on the back plate and brush. Check finger tension with a feeler gauge and set tension as recommended by the manufacturer. Check wear on double-disc openers and seed tubes. Check seed tubes for obstructions or kinks that can hold up seed delivery. Match plate and seed grades on plate planters. Make sure sprocket settings on the planter transmission are correct. Check to see that gears are lined up. Check seed tubes for damage, wear, and burrs. Repair or replace. Clean tube sensors for planter monitors. Any time the operation of the planter causes the metering unit to jerk, variable seed placement will occur. Adjust all elements of planter operation for smooth performance (CORN newsletter, 2009) wheel can cause excessive soil compaction around the seed, resulting in poor emergence. Tire pressure is important on carrying and gauge wheel drives. Tires inflated to the recommended level tend to make planting more accurate. An under-inflated tire has a smaller circumference, causing more rotations at a given ground speed. This causes the metering mechanism to drop more seeds and overplant. Conversely, over-inflated tires cause under-planting (Wisconsin Agronomy Department).

Corn planter checklist

In a Chicago suburb, an indoor farm goes mega

BEDFORD PARK, Ill. Farming in abandoned warehouses has become a hot trend in the Midwest with varying degrees of success as more entrepreneurs worldwide experiment with indoor growing systems in attempts to grow more food locally. Now one facility, FarmedHere LLC in suburban Chicago, is attempting to take indoor warehouse farming to the mega farm level, in a region of the country known more for its massive hog, corn and soybean farms than for crops of boutique greens. Heres a run-down on the trend, this farm and the challenges it and other indoor farms face.
artificial lights. With so much vacant space available, the cost of the property is often cheap, to buy or rent, though the power needed to run these facilities often is not. Elsewhere, growers are incorporating greenhouses and natural light into their models sometimes on rooftops, or in large fields. Though farmers are experimenting with all kinds of crops, most have had success growing greens herbs, various types of lettuce and microgreens, edible plants, such as beets and sunflowers, which are harvested when they are young and used like sprouts in salads and sandwiches. Aquaponic farms, which also raise tilapia and other fish, use water circulated to the plants that is fertilized with the fish excrement. Often, these farms also sell the fish to grocers or restaurants. How is FarmedHere different? Its different here than Ive seen anywhere else, just the size, the sheer scale of it is very unique, says Maximino Gonzalez, the master grower at FarmedHere LLC. The company, based in Bedford Park, Ill., is finishing the first of four phases, with plans to expand by the end of next year to 150,000 square feet of vertical growing space. Already, they say they are the largest vertical farm in the country, a claim experts who monitor the field believe to be true. The farm supplies local grocery with fresh basil, arugula and other greens. Right now, the farm has two large structures with five to six levels of massive growing beds that are lit with fluorescent lighting. One structure, where basil is grown, is aquaponic. Water underneath the plants which rest in cutouts in styrofoam floats circulates through a system from the plants to two large tanks of fish. The other structure, where arugula is grown, is aeroponic, with water misters underneath that spray the plants exposed roots. A third structure is under construction and will be completed soon, owners at FarmedHere say. Whats the routine like at FarmedHere? Workers plant the seeds and grow seedlings on racks, then transfer into the growing systems. After about a month, the crops certified as organic by the USDA are harvested and packaged by about a dozen workers in a cooling room at the facility. Early the morning after the harvests, workers use two vans to deliver those greens mainly basil and arugula right now to grocers in Chicago and suburbs, including Whole Foods and Marianos Fresh Market locations. CEO Yolanta Hardej calls it on-demand farming. Lets say that the demand is suddenly for various types of arugula or various types of mixed greens, or mini greens, she says. We could change the whole system and pretty much within the next 14 to 28 days, we have a full grown plant, whatever the market requires. What are the challenges? The biggest stumbling block for facilities like these remains power the amount of electricity to run the lights that help the plants grow. Heating these massive spaces also can be costly. Experts in the field say this will also be a big challenge for FarmedHere, because of its size. A few other indoor farms in Wisconsin and Chicago have gone out of business, or are struggling to stay open. Its hard to get there for sure, says Sylvia Bernstein, an aquaponics supplier based in Boulder, Colo., who blogs about the trend. There are a lot of people working on it. Some growers are experimenting with solar, wind and methane as ways to generate the power. Others are supplementing artificial light with natural greenhouse or window lighting. Hardej says FarmedHere is looking at methane options. Though she declined to elaborate for competitive reasons, she said the eventual goal is for the facility to be self-sustaining. Many believe indoor farms that rely on artificial light will become even more viable as energy-efficient LED lighting improves and becomes more affordable. But Dickson Despommier, a retired Columbia University microbiologist who wrote the book The Vertical Farm: Feeding the World in the 21st Century, says powering farms is still the biggest hurdle for the industry one that many farmers are often reluctant to talk about publicly. A lot of them will tuck their head under their wings and say, Wait and see, he says, noting that hes anxious to see large indoor farming models in Japan that use both artificial and natural light. He says entrepreneurs in Germany also are experimenting with flickering lights that use less power but still emit enough light to grow plants. In another two or three years, this will shake out, Despommier says. And well see which systems work, and which dont.

It is best to fertilize lightly in spring and early summer, little to none in summer, and heavy in fall. A heavy fall fertilization program will produce the healthiest turf throughout the year. Applying high rates of nitrogen in the spring and summer stimulates excess leaf growth at the expense of root growth. Not only does this force you to mow more often, it reduces turf quality during the summer. High application rates of spring and summer nitrogen can also stimulate disease, weed, and insect activity. If you apply a pre-emergence herbicide that is combined with fertilizer in April, the May fertilizer application should be skipped. Professional lawn care companies may increase the number of applications while decreasing the rate of nitrogen per application. This can give a more gradual feeding of the grass plants and produce a high quality lawn.

What are these farms like? In Chicago, Milwaukee and other urban areas, entrepreneurs have taken up residence in vacant buildings that have high ceilings and plenty of space. Often, these are called vertical farms because, within the buildings, farmers build tall structures with several levels of growing beds, often lined with

Everything I Never Wanted to Be by Dina Kucera was pretty much everything I wanted it to be. I started this book unsure of what to expectand right from the beginning I was hooked. Kucera drew me in with her candid, open way of sharing the details of her life. Details to which I can relate. This book is about addiction, hope, faith its about being human. Kucera has had her own addiction issues, which she talks about, and then her daughters began exhibiting their issues with drugs with life. This is a book about life. Kuceras writing style is accessible. It feels like youre just sitting down having a conversation with her. So, yeah, at times its a little all over the place, as she relays her musings on everything from her penchant for the f word to her thoughts about working as a grocery check-out girl. The places, at times, where she strays from the main story and offers her own observations about something else didnt really bother me. I think because that is how people talk, and throughout the book, Kucera really is talking to us. Plus I find her hilarious and her little musings made me laugh every time. She has a way with words, and a way of inserting something laughable into a situation that could very well remain somber without her flair for putting a twist on things. The language is something that might offend some people, as Ive mentioned her affinity for the f word. It didnt bother me. It just might bother some readers. I think her story is so compelling, however, that one should be able to see past perceived bad language and still absorb her story. Dina Kucera is real. Shes raw. She lays it all out on the table. I like that. NoI love that. It takes guts to look back on your life, your failures, your choices, everythingand then put it out there for the world to see. I felt as if I really got to know the people in her life that she described over and overI kept reading because I was intriguedenthralledI wanted to see what happened to everyone. I started caring about each person in the book. I could sense Kuceras feelings of hopelessnessI felt her pain as she clocked in at the storeI have had so many jobs Ive hatedI could relate to her wanting more in life. Toward the end of the book, she mentions a quote, Bloom where youre planted. This really spoke to me, as a great friend referred to that quote when I was working at a job I detestedit was the first time Id ever heard it. Then I was reading this book and relating to so much of it, when bam! This quote jumped out at me. I am so glad I read this book. If you or anyone you know has struggled with addiction in any form, I strongly urge you to read this book. Everything I Never Wanted to Be is not a self-help book. But it is a book that could be considered a friend. Someone who knows. Someone who understands. This book will make you feel less alone, plus, Kuceras jokes are peppered throughout. You will laugh. I did. I also felt a strong emotional connection to everyone she described in the bookwhen I finished it I wanted more. Thank you, Dina, for being brave enough to share your story.

Heats winning streak ends at 27 in Chicago

The Associated Press CHICAGO The streak is over. The big prize is still out there. Thats what mattered most to LeBron James and the Miami Heat. The Heats bid for NBA history ended Wednesday night when their 27-game winning streak was snapped by the Chicago Bulls 101-97, setting off a raucous celebration inside United Center. Miami finished six shy of the 33-game record held by the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers. With 11 games remaining, theres no time for Miami to take another shot at the record. A big run in the postseason would seem to be a sure bet. After all, thats what its about for the Heat. Its been that way ever since James and Chris Bosh joined Dwyane Wade in Miami in the summer of 2010. They delivered last season, capturing a championship, and are eyeing a repeat. The record? It would have been a bonus. The streak that began on Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 3, came to an end despite his best efforts. James tried to spur yet another comeback in the final minutes, getting mad after a rough foul. But the reigning MVP could never get the defending champions even, much less ahead, down the stretch. Luol Deng scored 28 points, Carlos Boozer added 21 points and 17 rebounds and the Bulls brought the Heats run to a screeching halt. Miamis superstar did all he could to keep it going, scoring 32 points and even collecting a flagrant foul during a physical final few minutes. We havent had a chance to really have a moment to know what we just did, James said. We had a moment, just very fortunate, very humbling and blessed to be part of this team and be part of a streak like that. The Heat hadnt lost since the Pacers beat them in Indianapolis on Feb. 1. But after grinding out some close wins lately, including a rally from 27 down in Cleveland, no one counted them out until the final buzzer. For the better part of two months, they were the NBAs comeback kings. They erased seven double-digit deficits during the streak. They found themselves trailing in the fourth quarter 11 times and won them all. Not Wednesday. We understand, probably more so later on in our careers, the significance of that. And then that was it, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. We took that moment to acknowledge it, to acknowledge each other, that experience, but it was never about the streak. We have a bigger goal but also right now, its about Are we getting better? They walked off the floor stoically, not exchanging handshakes or pleasantries with the Bulls. James was frustrated on the court at times and showed more of the same in the locker room afterward with regard to how hes officiated. He cited two instances from Wednesday a play in which Kirk Hinrich took him down with two hands in the first quarter and Taj Gibson appearing to hit him around his neck with about 4 minutes remaining where he thought the contact was excessive. Referees reviewed the Gibson hit but did not award a flagrant foul. So, seconds later, James tried to barrel through Carlos Boozer on a screen,and got called for a Flagrant 1 himself. Those are not basketball plays and its been happening all year, James added. Ive been able to keep my cool and try to tell Spo, Lets not worry about it too much but it is getting to me a little bit. The Bulls, meanwhile, whooped and slapped hands with anyone they could reach after clinching a playoff berth. For whatever reason, the Heat were unbeatable for nearly the next two months. Heat President Pat Riley played for the Lakers team that won 33 in a row and remained silent throughout Miamis streak, mainly because he rarely gives interviews these days but more so because the official team stance was that it simply did not matter. This season is championship-or-bust for Miami, where nothing else other than raising yet another Larry OBrien Trophy will satisfy. The Bulls stopped Miami even though they were missing Joakim Noah (right foot), Marco Belinelli (abdominal strain) and Richard Hamilton (lower back). There was a rumor that Rose would make his long-awaited return from a knee injury after rapper Waka Flocka Flame posted on Twitter, Word is D.Rose back. The two are fans of each other but the superstar point guard squashed it at the morning shootaround, with two words Not tonight.
NOTES: Tom Boerwinkle, the former Bulls center who had a franchise-record 37 rebounds in a 1970 game against the Phoenix Suns, died Tuesday. He was 67. Boerwinkle played 10 seasons with the Bulls from 196878 and also worked as an analyst on the teams radio broadcasts from 1991-94. SPURS 100, NUGGETS 99 SAN ANTONIO Tim Duncan had 23 points and 14 rebounds and San Antonio escaped with a win over Denver when Nuggets veteran guard Andre Miller missed a short jumper at the buzzer. Danny Green added 20 points and Tony Parker had 18 points and 11 assists for the Spurs, who remained 1 1/2 games ahead of Oklahoma City in the race for the top spot in the Western Conference. Kawhi Leonard chipped in with 11 points and Tiago Splitter had 10. JaVale McGee had 21 points and 11 rebounds, Wilson Chandler scored 15 points and Miller 14 for the Nuggets, whose reserves outscored their Spurs counterparts 59-18. Kenneth Faried and Danilo Gallinari added 12 points apiece and Andre Igoudala had 10. THUNDER 103, WIZARDS 80 OKLAHOMA CITY Russell Westbrook scored 21 points and Kevin Durant had 20 to help Oklahoma City beat Washington. Kevin Martin added 18 points for the Thunder. Wall, coming off 47 points in a win over Memphis, had 18 points and 12 assists for Washington but was 3-of-18 from the field. KNICKS 108, GRIZZLIES 101 NEW YORK J.R. Smith scored 35 points, his second straight 30-point game, and New York withstood a furious rally to beat Memphis. Carmelo Anthony added 22 points and Iman Shumpert had 16 as the Knicks tied a season high with their sixth straight win. After trailing by as many as 30 early in the second half, the Grizzlies cut their deficit to 103-99 on Tony Allens two

ELIDA The District 8 Girls AllStar Roundball Games were postponed from Monday night due to the weather, so the girls closed the local 2012-13 high school basketball season Wednesday on the Union Bank Court of the Elida Fieldhouse. The West team had the better of the proceedings in both games, with the West downing the East Beining 74-51 in the Division IV clash and grabbing the Division I-II-III clash 71-53. In the Division IV nightcap, the West was led by Ottovilles Rachel Beining with a double-double 23 points and 12 boards. Fort Jennings Macy Schroeder added 12 points, seven boards and three assists and Marion Locals Chelsea Winner added 12 counters and six boards. The West totally owned the backboards 57-26 (22-6 offensive) with the 6-1 Beining and the 6-2 Winner the main culprits. Miller Citys rebounding demon, Melissa Turnwald Michel, took down nine and Continentals Leva Weller added nine. Its a lot of fun to play with this kind of talent. I had played against all but three of them during the regular season but it was fun to be on the same team, Beining noted. We didnt have a lot of practice time; I had already started track practice, so I hadnt picked up a basketball since we lost at State. For the East, the lone player in twin digits was Waynesfield-Goshens Kaylee Patton with 11. With some, like Beining and fellow Ottoville senior Rachel Turnwald (5 points, 5 boards), having played in the Division IV State semifinals and others not having played since sectional action a month ago, it was Beining who scored 10 points in the first five minutes of the first 20-minute half. As well, with the All-Star format of a running clock, 5-girl substitutions every five minutes and not much preparation time before the game, it allowed players

to strut their stuff in ways they might not have been able to in the regular season; pushing the ball and running very few true set plays, relying on the skills honed in the backyard or in the driveway as youngsters. All told, the West unleashed 71 shots and made 31 (5-of-24 downtown) for 43.7 percent and the East 62 attempts making 20, including 7-of27 triples, for 32.3 percent. As well, with referees encouraged to let em play, the West hit 7-of-11 free throws (63.6%) to the Schroeder Easts 4-of-7 (57.1%). Despite that lack of preparation, the West only had 16 turnovers and the East 10. The West, using its height advantage inside, started to take control in the last half of the first half with Beining dropping in 16 the first half and took a 37-26 halftime edge. Beining added seven points the second 20 minutes but with Schroeder getting loose for 10 markers (two bombs), Winner nine points and Minsters Bridget Geiger six, the West continued to maintain Owens control. With the East struggling to score from the field, the West built as big a lead as 26 late in the contest. Im going to play ball at Bluffton University. I was thinking of going to Bowling Green State University and not playing basketball, Beining added. When I decided to play ball at college, Bluffton was the only Division III school that had the major I have always wanted to do: dietetics. This gives me an idea I can play at the next level because these are the types of players I will be playing alongside and against. In the bigger-school clash, the West outscored the East 38-14 the second half to pull away. The West had a trio of players in twin digits: Celinas Kylee Bader with 19 (5 bombs), Shawnees Britt Lauck 16 (4 treys) and Elidas Osha Owens 10 (3 assists, 3 steals). Courtesy of defense, the West forced 21 turnovers to only nine of their own, allowing them to have 19 more shots:

28-of-69 (including a stellar 12-of-18 trifectas) for 40.6 percent versus 21-of50 for the East (2-of-11 treys) for 42 percent. In the first half, the West used its height advantage, especially Findlays 6-1 Christina McQueen (double-double of 16 markers and 11 boards) and Baths 6-0 Emily Ruhe (14 counters, 10 rebounds, 4 blocks). With those two alternating every five minutes, they held off the quicker West in erecting a 39-33 halftime edge. With the West turning up the defensive pressure, venturing to go full-court at times, they turned the East over 12 times the second half and that fueled even more of a fast-break attack than usual for an all-star game. Bader poured in three bombs (9 points), Lauck two treys (8 markers), Celinas Katie Stahl seven of her nine points and Owens six in the half as the West used a 23-6 spurt in the first 10 minuets of that half to take a 56-45 edge The West continued to neutralize the Easts height and built up a 22-point edge at one point late in the contest. The East did outrebound the West 39-30 (8-10 offensive) and hit 9-of-10 freebies (90%) to 3-of-4 for the West (75%).

How many NCAA mens basketball brackets has this upstart Florida Gulf Coast spoiled, debased and besmirched? How about those razzafrazzing nazzatrap (all of you who remember that great American philosopher, Yosemite Sam, will know what this reference is!) Gonzaga Bulldogs. I drank the Bulldog KoolAid, thinking this may be the year they break this when were underdogs, we play Cinderella - when were favored, we choke string. Attack me with a pea shooter! Personally, I blame the referees, Mark Few, society, the NCAA and the United Nations for this outrage! I digress. The story of this NCAA tournament is the high-flying, dunkmeister, having-a-tonof-fun-doing-it Eagles, the first 15th seed to ever make the Sweet Sixteen. I am sure their players have been asked the question multiple times til theyre ready to pull out their hair and bay at the moon: can you be the first 15th seed to make the Elite Eight? To borrow an answer from NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar when asked if his Lakers could repeat in the 1980s, they should have answered were the only ones that can! With state nemesis Florida up next at The Temple uh, Cowboys Stadium I dont know if they can get this done but in this season of major parity, why not? Florida was certainly the best team in the SEC all season long but the SEC was generally down. An addendum here: wouldnt you hate to be as down as the Big Ten is as Sir Charles Barkley claimed? They only have four of the Sweet Sixteen and do not be surprised if at least two punch their tickets to the Final Four. I dont always agree with

Down with Gonzaga!

free throws with 33 seconds left. However, they got no closer as Raymond Felton, Smith and Anthony scored the games next five points at the free-throw line. Mike Conley led Memphis with 26 points, Bayless had 24 and Allen had 18 points and 10 rebounds. CLIPPERS 105, HORNETS 91 NEW ORLEANS Blake Griffin scored 19 points and Chris Paul added 16 points and nine assists to lead Los Angeles over New Orleans. Caron Butler and Jamal Crawford each scored 13 for the Clippers. Chauncey Billups briefly returned from a right groin strain to score 11 points before leaving the game with the same injury. The Clippers opened up a 13-point lead in the fourth quarter and pulled even with Denver for the third-best record (49-23) in the West. Eric Gordon scored 24 and Anthony Davis had 19 points and nine rebounds for New Orleans. PACERS 100, ROCKETS 91 HOUSTON Roy Hibbert scored a season-high 28 points and grabbed 13 rebounds and Lance Stephenson added a season-high 21 points to lead Indiana to a victory over Houston. The Pacers never trailed and led by as many as 19 points. Houston made several runs, once cutting the deficit to four, but Indiana answered each time. The Central Division-leading Pacers werent back to full strength but got a boost from the return of Stephenson, who missed Indianas last game with a strained right hip flexor, and George Hill, also sidelined with a strained left groin. James Harden had 22 points and eight assists for the Rockets, whose winning streak was snapped at three games. NETS 111, BLAZERS 93 PORTLAND, Ore. Reggie Evans grabbed a careerhigh 26 rebounds and matched his career high with 22 points, leading Brooklyn to a win over Portland. It was the Nets 20th road win of the season, matching a franchise best. Brook Lopez added 28 points for the Nets, who built a big lead early and stretched it to as many as 30 points. LaMarcus Aldridge led Portland with 24 points despite rolling his right ankle in the first half and briefly leaving the game. Most of the Nets starters had retreated to the bench before Portland pulled within 101-87 on Luke Babbitts 3-pointer with six minutes remaining. The starters returned but Portland got no closer. LAKERS 120, TIMBERWOLVES 117 MINNEAPOLIS Kobe Bryant had 31 points and seven assists in his first game filling in at small forward for injured Metta World Peace, leading Los Angeles over Minnesota. Dwight Howard had 25 points, 16 rebounds, five blocks and five steals. Pau Gasol added 17 points and nine rebounds for the Lakers, who had lost three in a row and were playing their first game without their defensive stopper. World Peace will have surgery on a torn meniscus today, leaving the Lakers to chase the playoffs without him. Nikola Pekovic had 19 points and 16 rebounds for the Timberwolves. HAWKS 107, RAPTORS 88 TORONTO Al Horford scored 26 points, Jeff Teague had 24 points and 13 assists and Atlanta clinched a playoff berth for the sixth straight season with a win over Toronto. Josh Smith added 19 points for the Hawks, who used a 16-0 run midway through the fourth to win for the 13th time in the last 15 meetings with the Raptors. Horford reached double digits for the 31st consecutive game, the second-longest streak of his career. He did it in 33 straight games in 2009-10. Jonas Valanciunas scored 19 points and Rudy Gay had 15 points and matched a season best with 12 rebounds for the Raptors. CELTICS 93, CAVALIERS 92 CLEVELAND Jeff Green scored 21 points and hit the winning layup at the buzzer, helping Boston snap a 5-game losing streak with a win over Cleveland. Brandon Bass scored 22 points to lead the Celtics, who rallied from a 14-point deficit in the fourth quarter to avoid matching their longest skid of the season. After Clevelands Alonzo Gee knocked the ball out of bounds with 2.1 seconds left, Green took an inbound pass

Barkley but I usually like his candor and frankness; he does say things that most analysts only think but would never DARE to speak. If he believes that the Big Ten is down, so be it. Hes just plain wrong here. What I thought was funny was when he interviewed the FGC coach and asked where the is Florida Gulf Coast? Talk about a no-name team! Oh, by the way, LaSalle is having a nice tournament as a 13th seed but that isnt VERY important!!! Is it? I wonder what will really happen in the next few weeks of NASCAR? You had the confrontation between Denny Hamlin and Joey Logano two weeks ago at Bristol with Hamlin spinning Logano and then it occurred again last week at Fontana, with Hamlin ending up in the wall and suffering a fractured vertebra in his back that likely will keep him out six weeks. I know NASCAR wanted to get the fans back to the races but I dont pretend to know if these incidents were simply hard racing or if the simmering feud between these two that has been there for a while boiled over and clouded their judgement. Do I think they intentionally tried to hurt one another? Unlikely. One, I think that there is an unspoken respect for a fellow driver and, two, what goes around comes around. You put someone into a wall and unless you are a select few a VERY select few someone will do so to you. That someone may be Tony Stewart, in this case. That was pretty good poetry everything rhymed with creep that Smoke delivered to the media post-race, after his physical confrontation with the punk and little rich kid when the two had to be separated. Fortunately, the drivers have two weeks to cool off but I am not totally convinced this is over. We shall see. UCLA is once again looking for the next John Wooden. The Bruins brass fired Ben Howland Monday after 10 years at the helm with a pretty good but not good enough for the storied mens basketball program 233107 mark. They have been searching for another Wizard of Westwood since The Original retired in 1975. He got them to three straight Final Fours in 200608 but that was ancient history wasnt that when the dinosaurs were pups? They have chased away many a good coach that wasnt good enough; at the same time, after having a few one-and-doners and not getting the athletes he should have been able to, he had allowed the program to be roiled in controversy, have other players up and leave and left himself with a notvery-deep roster in an area and state that is ripe with talent. Part of that was his style it sure as heck wasnt Woodens fast-paced style but was more of a slog, slower-tempo, beat-them-downwith-a-club affair until this year. I wonder who they are looking for? Perhaps it was Shaka Smart from VCU but he is staying put. Maybe Geno Auriemma was in the running, that they could convince him to come from UConn, but he just reupped a deal. There might be a few others but I might have to hold my nose at a couple! Howland was the first and Minnesota followed suit in firing Tubby Smith. He wont be the last. Not many jobs where you are hired to be fired!

The Herald 7

The Associated Press LOS ANGELES Ever since Thad Matta and Sean Miller shared a tiny office at Miami of Ohio nearly two decades ago, the coaches friendship has survived job changes, practical jokes and a few hundred bucks in unpaid lunch tabs. Theyve worked together and recruited against each other. Theyve shared scouting tips and sought job advice. They even briefly lived under the same roof with their entire families. I wouldnt be here today without him, Miller said Wednesday. I learned a lot from him, enjoyed being around him when we worked together and we remain very good friends. They remained close after their teams faced off in a memorable Ohio State victory over Xavier in the NCAA tournament six years ago and theyre still close heading into their next meeting today at Staples Center, when the second-seeded Buckeyes (28-7) meet Millers Arizona Wildcats (27-7) in the West Region semifinals. I dont like the fact that were playing but Im happy as can be for him, Matta said. The winner gets much more than bragging rights between best friends: While nobody in either uniform would suggest this game is the true regional final, both teams realize the winner of this meeting between powerhouse basketball schools will be a strong favorite to make the Final Four. With underdogs La Salle and Wichita State playing the late game, Ohio State and Arizona are the only seeds in the top eight left in what looks like the least attractive regional. Were not caught up in the sexiness and all that, Arizona guard Mark Lyons said. I feel like my teammates are handsome but thats (beside) the point. Both teams have a mix of veteran talent and emerging youngsters, leading to a few marquee positional matchups that are tough for both coaches to predict. Ohio State hero Aaron Craft faces a stiff challenge against Lyons, the ball-hawking guard described by Miller as the hoops equivalent of a running quarterback. Deshaun Thomas, the Buckeyes leading scorer, will be checked on most possessions by Solomon Hill, the Wildcats rangy senior from Los Angeles. Ohio State is the only team to make the regional semifinals in each of the last four seasons and the Buckeyes are on a 10-game winning streak since mid-February. Arizona overcame its late-season struggles to put together yet another solid NCAA run, trouncing Belmont and unceremoniously ending Harvards hopes last week while making better than 55 percent of their shots in both games. It always gets tougher the further you go in the tournament, said Craft, whose late 3-pointer propelled Ohio State past Iowa State last Sunday. You play against great players and as a defender, you always want to take away their go-to. They have more than one. Arizona should have a home-court advantage as the regionals closest school to Los Angeles by far, with thousands of Wildcats fans expected to make the trip to cheer on a team with seven players from Southern California. The Wildcats had a huge advantage two years ago in the West Region final in Anaheim, although UConn still advanced on the way to the national title. Arizona and Ohio State have never met in the NCAA tournament but Matta and Miller faced off in the second round in 2007, three years after Matta took over the Buckeyes and left Miller in charge at Xavier. Mike Conley Jr. and Greg Oden led Ohio State past the Musketeers after Ron Lewis clutch 3-pointer forced overtime; the Buckeyes eventually reached the national championship game. Neither coach enjoyed facing a good friend that year and their collision this week isnt as fun as the chance to reconnect in person for the first time in months. The coaches know plenty about each others

Wayne Ellington had 16 points for Cleveland, which has lost six in a row to match a season high. KINGS 105, WARRIORS 98 OAKLAND, Calif. Isaiah Thomas had 31 points and seven assists, DeMarcus Cousins added 14 points and Sacramento put another dent in Golden States playoff chase. Marcus Thornton scored 13 points off the bench and helped harass Stephen Curry to send Sacramento to its first road win against a team with a winning record all season. The Kings entered the game an NBA-worst 6-30 on the road. David Lee had 20 points and 10 rebounds and Curry finished with 17 points and 12 assists on a difficult shooting night for the Warriors point guard. Golden State (41-32) missed an opportunity to build its lead on seventh-place Houston (39-32), which remains a game back in the West.

The Associated Press NIT Iowa 75, Virginia 64 CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. Roy Devyn Marble scored 24 points and Iowa ended Virginias 19-game home winning streak with a 75-64 victory, earning the Hawkeyes a trip to Madison Square Garden. Marbles lone 3-pointer in five tries came with 13:02 to play and gave Iowa (24-12) a 42-41 lead. It also sparked a 19-5 run that featured six points inside from Adam Woodbury and 3-pointers by Josh Oglesby and Zach McCabe. McCabes finished the run, putting the Hawkeyes ahead 58-46 with 5:18 to play, and Virginia got no closer than nine the rest of the way. McCabe and 7-1 Adam Woodbury added 10 points each for the Hawkeyes. Justin Anderson hit five 3-pointers, scored a career-high 24 points and had five blocks and three steals to lead Virginia (23-12) and fellow freshman Mike Tobey added 15 points and three blocks.

Baylor went ahead to stay when Jefferson had a dunk with 8:11 left for a 60-59 lead. That started a 7-0 run over 71 seconds that Jefferson capped with a 3-point play. The Bears had 19 assists with only five turnovers as a team. They play BYU (24-11) on Tuesday, a rematch of a game the Bears won 79-64 at home on Dec. 21. BYU 79, Southern Miss 62 HATTIESBURG, Miss. Brock Zylstras fifth 3-pointer of the first half swished through the net and BYUs bench broke out in wild cheers. The 6-6 guard is usually an afterthought in the Cougars prolific offense but he was impossible to miss on Wednesday, helping BYU easily beat Southern Miss 79-62. Tyler Haws led the Cougars with 25 points but it was Zylstras 23 points including 18 in the first half that sparked BYU (24-11) to the easy victory. Southern Miss (27-10) lost for just the second time in two seasons at Reed Green Coliseum. The Golden Eagles were led by Daveon Boardinghams 18 points while Jerrold Brooks added 13. Southern Miss shot just 21-of63 (33.3 percent) from the field and its zone defense couldnt contain BYUs shooters. The Cougars shot 11-of-27 (40.7 percent) from 3-point range. Davies scored 12 points and grabbed 13 rebounds to lead a BYU frontcourt that outmuscled Southern Miss. The Cougars had a 47-42 rebounding advantage. BYU (24-11) went on an 11-0 run early in the first half and never trailed again, leading by double digits the entire second half. CBI Santa Clara 81, Wright State 69 FAIRBORN Kevin Foster scored 33 points to lead Santa Clara to an 81-69 victory over Wright State on Wednesday night. Foster scored 21 points in the second half to help Santa Clara (24-11) advance to the best-of-3 championship series against George Mason, a 62-52 winner over Western Michigan earlier in the evening. The Broncos opened the half with a 19-4 run to take a 53-42 lead with 13 minutes left. Wright State closed to 60-53 but the Broncos responded with a 13-5 run. The Broncos shot 53.1 percent in the second half and 48.4 percent for the game. Evan Roquemore added 16 points for the Broncos and scored the first seven points of the second half.

76ERS 100, BUCKS 92 PHILADELPHIA Spencer Hawes had 15 points and a career-high 17 rebounds and Jrue Holiday and Damien Wilkins each scored 18 points to lead Philadelphia past Milwaukee. Thaddeus Young and Dorell Wright both scored 14 points for the Sixers, who returned from a 1-3 road trip to win their third straight game at home. Brandon Jennings was scoreless for Milwaukee and benched in the fourth quarter. Monta Ellis scored 29 points for the Bucks and Ersan Ilyasova had 13 points and 18 rebounds. The Sixers wasted an 18-point lead and needed a few big shots from long range in the fourth to make it a game. Wright, Holiday and Evan Turner each hit a 3-pointer to help the 76ers rally. JAZZ 103, SUNS 88 SALT LAKE CITY Al Jefferson and Gordon Hayward scored 25 points apiece and Utah beat Phoenix to stay within a game of the eighth-place Lakers in the Western Conference playoff race. Jefferson finished 12-of-23 from the field and also had nine rebounds, two blocks and two steals for

Utah. The Jazz used a 10-0 run to open the fourth quarter and led by as many as 19 while outscoring Phoenix 56-32 in the paint. Wesley Johnson had 22 points and Luis Scola 20 to lead the Suns, who allowed Utah to shoot 52 percent in dropping their fourth straight. BOBCATS 114, MAGIC 108 CHARLOTTE, N.C. Gerald Henderson and Kemba Walker each scored 34 points and Charlotte handed injury-riddled Orlando its eighth straight loss in a matchup of the NBAs worst teams. The Bobcats erased a 19-point, first-quarter deficit behind the shooting of Henderson, who finished 12-of-18 from the field and 9-of-10 from the foul line. Walker did a little bit of everything, dishing out nine assists and grabbing seven rebounds as the Bobcats won for the fourth time in their last five home games. Tobias Harris had a career-high 29 points and nine rebounds and rookie Kyle OQuinn had a career-best 23 points and 11 rebounds for the Magic

Wright State (23-13) shot 54.2 percent, but the Raiders were undone by 11 second-half turnovers. AJ Pacher led the Raiders with 17 points and Jerran Young added 13. George Mason 62, Western Michigan 52 FAIRFAX, Va. Jonathan Arledge scored a career-high 23 points to lead George Mason past Western Michigan 62-52 on Wednesday night. The Patriots (21-14) will face Santa Clara in a best-of-three championship series beginning on Monday. David Brown had 13 points and Shayne Whittington added 12 for Western Michigan (22-13), which committed 23 turnovers and shot just 35 percent from the field. George Mason (21-14) used an 18-0 run to take a 26-17 lead with 3:37 remaining in the first half. The Broncos went 9:01 without scoring, missing all seven field-goal attempts and committing eight turnovers during the stretch. However, George Masons own shooting woes allowed Western Michigan to hang around in the second half and the Broncos pulled to 47-40 on a dunk by Whittington with 5:27 remaining. The Patriots scored the next seven points to increase the lead to 14 with about 4 minutes to go and put the game away on a breakaway.

Tomorrows Horoscope
FRIDAY, MARCH 29, 2013 Several career opportunities might come your way in the year ahead. One could be something youve always hoped to achieve, and you just might get it. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It wont be an absence of good ideas that could bog you down. Your problems are likely to come from the way you try to implement them. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -Even though youll have the ability to gain ground on an endeavor, if you let your guard down, youre likely to lose a little in the end. Be steadfast through it all. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Associate with friends who appreciate material things much as you do. Pals who are far too loose with their dollars could trigger extravagance in you. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -Your judgment in career matters is quite astute, yet theres a chance you could suddenly change your plans and not follow through on your intentions. Try to stay the course. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Unfortunately, not everyone you encounter can be taken seriously. If youre smart, youll keep your guard up, especially when dealing with any unknown quantities. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Although at times you can be a very generous person, this might not be the case today. Youre not likely to share any gains, even with those who deserve a reward. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Be as diplomatic as you can, especially if youre trying to get others to endorse a difficult position. Market your conviction with authority. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -Devote your time to persons who truly are in need of your help and expertise, not to those who are capable of making it on their own. Much joy can come from helping deserving parties. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- If it becomes necessary for you to seek advice from a trusted counselor, be sure to impart the whole situation. Dont hold back on any of the warts. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your industrious efforts are likely to count for little if you work at such a speed that you fail to see what youre missing. Slow down a bit. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -Proposals might sound good and even look great on paper, but dont jump on board without first checking things out. They might not hold up under close scrutiny. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Do not make a commitment that you know is likely to collapse in a heartbeat. If it turns out that you cant do what you promised, you had better beat a hasty retreat. COPYRIGHT 2013 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.

Mandela in hospital with lung infection

BY CHRISTOPHER TORCHIA The Associated Press JOHANNESBURG Nelson Mandela, the anti-apartheid leader who became South Africas first black president, has been admitted to a hospital with a recurring lung infection, South Africa said today. Mandela, 94, has become increasingly frail in recent years and has been hospitalized several times since last year, most recently earlier this month when he underwent what authorities said was a scheduled medical test. The Nobel laureate is a revered figure in South Africa, which has honored his legacy of reconciliation by naming buildings and other places after him and printing his image on national banknotes. Im so sorry. Im sad, said Obed Mokwana, a Johannesburg resident. I just try to pray all the time. He must come very strong again. The Nobel laureate was admitted to a hospital just before midnight Wednesday due to the recurrence of his lung infection, the office of President Jacob Zuma said in a statement. In December, Mandela spent three weeks in a hospital in the South African capital of Pretoria, where he was treated for a lung infection and had a procedure to remove gallstones. Presidential spokesman Mac Maharaj acknowledged there was cause for worry, but said the medical specialists treating Mandela were very competent. The health has been OK given his age, but the downturn last night obviously when the lung infection recurs, the doctors will want to do everything possible and make sure that they dont allow the infection to spread, that they arrest it as quickly as possible, Maharaj said in an interview with eNCA, a South African news channel. He said there had been a global outpouring of messages expressing concern for Mandelas health. Mandela spent a night in a hospital and was released on March 10 following a medical test. At that time, spokesman Maharaj said Mandela was well. In February 2012, Mandela spent a night

Washington island landslide affects 34 homes

BY DOUG ESSER The Associated Press SEATTLE Residents of a hillside overlooking scenic Puget Sound heard the thunder of a large landslide Wednesday that knocked one home off its foundation, and isolated or threatened more than two dozen others on Whidbey Island, about 50 miles north of Seattle. No one was injured when the slide broke loose about 4 a.m. in the Ledgewood community. Thirty-four homes were ordered evacuated. After geologists made a preliminary assessment, residents of about 15 homes higher up the hillside were told Wednesday evening that they could return, said Central Whidbey Fire and Rescue Chief Ed Hartin. Seventeen homes were evacuated along that road and officials are still concerned about two, Hartin said. An older man who escaped from the damaged home was evacuated by rescuers in an all-terrain vehicle, Hartin said. Rescuers reached the man by cutting across property owned by Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. Ballmers property was not threatened by the slide, the chief said. Ballmer was not available for comment, Microsoft spokesman Pete Wootton said Wednesday night. Some people were completely cut off from their properties. Many of the homes are summer cabins or weekend getaways and were unoccupied. Some are larger, upscale properties and others are more modest dwellings. Eleven people from 16 homes along a road close to the water were evacuated by boat because the road was blocked

in a hospital for minor diagnostic surgery to determine the cause of an abdominal complaint. In January 2011, he was admitted to a Johannesburg hospital for what officials initially described as tests but what turned out to be an acute respiratory infection. He was discharged days later. Under South Africas white-minority apartheid regime, Mandela served 27 years in prison, where he contracted tuberculosis, before being released in 1990. He later became the nations first democratically elected president in 1994 under the banner of the African National Congress, helping to negotiate a relatively peaceful end to apartheid despite fears of much greater bloodshed. He served one five-year term as president before retiring.

WASHINGTON Republicans are moving aggressively to repair their technological shortcomings from the 2012 election, opening a new tech race to counter a glaring weakness against President Barack Obama. With the blessing of party leaders, a new crop of Republicanbacked outside groups is developing tools to improve communication with voters, predict their behavior and track Democratic opponents. After watching Obama win re-election with the aid of an unprecedented technological machine, GOP officials concede an urgent need for major changes in the way they reach voters. They are turning to a younger generation of tech experts expected to play a bigger role in the 2014 midterm elections and beyond. I think everybody realized that the party is really far behind at the moment and theyre doing everything within their realistic sphere of influence to catch up, said Bret Jacobson, a partner with Red Edge, a Virginia-based digital advocacy firm that represents the Republican Governors Association, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Heritage Foundation. Alex Skatell, former digital director for the GOPs gubernatorial and Senate campaign operations, leads a new group that has been quietly testing a system that would allow Republicans to share details about millions of voters their personal interests, group affiliations and even where they went to school. Democrats began using related technology years ago, giving Obama a significant advantage last fall in personalizing communication with prospective supporters. With no primary opponent last year, Obamas re-election team used the extra time to build a large campaign operation melding a grass-roots army of 2.2 million volunteers with groundbreaking technology to target voters. They tapped about 17 million email subscribers to raise nearly $700 million online. Data-driven analytics enabled the campaign to run daily simulations to handicap battleground states, analyze demographic trends and test alternatives for reaching voters online. Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, in contrast, had only a few months after a lengthy primary fight to try to match Obamas tech advantage. He couldnt make up the difference. Romneys technology operation was overwhelmed by the intense flow of data and temporarily crashed on Election Day. A 100-page report on how to rebound from the 2012 election, released last week by Republican Party Chairman Reince Priebus, includes several technology recommendations. The presidents campaign significantly changed the makeup of the national electorate and identified, persuaded and turned out lowpropensity voters by unleashing a barrage of human and technological resources previously unseen in a presidential contest, the report said. Marrying grass-roots politics with technology and analytics, they successfully contacted, persuaded and turned out their margin of victory. There are many lessons to be learned from their efforts, particularly with respect to voter contact.

Korean border open despite NKorean hotline cut

BY HYUNG-JIN KIM The Associated Press SEOUL, South Korea A day after shutting down a key military hotline, Pyongyang instead used indirect communications with Seoul to allow South Koreans to cross the heavily armed border and work at a factory complex that is the last major symbol of inter-Korean cooperation. Business was operating normally at the Kaesong industrial complex in North Korea, despite Pyongyangs shutting down of the hotline usually used to arrange passage for workers and goods through the Demilitarized Zone. The military communication channel, which consists of six telephone, fax and reserve lines, was virtually the last remaining direct link between the rival Koreas, which do not have diplomatic relations. South Korean officials say North Korea has shut down the hotline but verbally approved the crossing today by telling South Koreans at a management office at the factory in North Korea. Those South Koreans then called officials in South Korea. Both governments prohibit direct contact with citizens on the other side, but Kaesong has separate telephone lines that allow South Korean managers there to communicate with people in South Korea. Technically, the divided Korean Peninsula remains in a state of war. North Korea also halted communications in 2009, creating a cross-border shutdown that left hundreds of South Korean workers stranded in the North for several days, until the line was

by the landslide, Hartin said. Officials remain quite concerned about two houses in that area in addition to the one knocked off its foundation. Those 16 homes remained evacuated late Wednesday. Being cut off from the road, water and power, residents had to leave, Island County Sheriff Mark Brown said earlier. Its a pretty massive mudslide. Another 20 to 25 people were evacuated from the 17 homes higher up the hill. The slide area remains unstable.

restored. The hotline shutdown follows a torrent of bellicose rhetoric in recent weeks from North Korea, which is angry about annual South Korea-U.S. military drills and U.N. sanctions over its nuclear test last month. North Korea calls the drills rehearsal for an invasion; Seoul and Washington say the training is defensive in nature and that they have no intention of attacking. North Koreas threats and provocations are seen as efforts to provoke the new government in Seoul, led by President Park Geun-hye, to change its policies toward Pyongyang. North Koreas moves at home to order troops into combat readiness are seen as ways to build domestic unity as young leader Kim Jong Un strengthens his military credentials.

PRETORIA, South Africa Lawyers for Oscar Pistorius appealed against some of his bail restrictions today, saying the Olympic athlete might eventually need to return to track competition to earn money. Pistorius lawyers say the double-amputee runner, who is charged with murder in the shooting death of his girlfriend on Feb. 14, is being treated as a flight risk by his bail restrictions even though a magistrate ruled last month that he was not when he released Pistorius on 1 million rand ($108,000) bail. Lawyer Barry Roux said Pistorius current bail restrictions amount to house arrest. Prosecutors say they oppose any relaxing of Pistorius bail restrictions. Roux said that Pistorius has no desire to return to track now, but this might and this will change. He said Pistorius should be allowed to travel for international meets under controlled circumstances, where he would require advanced permission from police and would have to give details of his travel schedule before he left South Africa. Pistorius was not present in court today. Roux said that Pistorius would not try and evade trial if he is allowed to travel internationally, and the multiple Paralympic champion would eventually need to run again to earn an income. He is not going to run away and hide. He is going nowhere, Roux told the judge in the brown-walled courtroom in the high court, where television cameras and photographers were allowed in to record the proceedings. Roux also argued against the ruling that Pistorius is not allowed to return to his home in a gated community in the eastern suburbs of Pretoria, where he shot Reeva Steenkamp dead in the early hours of Valentines Day. The bail ruling prevented him from returning to his home or speaking to residents, but his lawyers say he must be allowed to consult with residents in order to prepare his defense against the murder charge against him. Pistorius says he killed Steenkamp accidentally when he fired shots through a door in his bathroom in the pre-dawn hours, fearing there was an intruder in his house. Prosecutors say he shot the model and reality TV star intentionally after they argued, and they have charged him with premeditated murder. Pistorius was not required to attend his appeal hearing and none of his family members was present at North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria. The judge said he would rule on Pistorius appeal later today.

NICOSIA, Cyprus Banks in Cyprus reopened to customers for the first time in nearly two weeks Thursday with strict restrictions on transactions to stop people withdrawing all their savings and triggering further chaos in the countrys financial system. The limits on transactions, which include caps on withdrawals and money leaving the country, are a first in the 14-year history of the euro. Across Cyprus, large lines had formed ahead of the opening of banks for six hours from noon, and guards from private security firms reinforced police outside some ATMs and banks in the capital, Nicosia. Banks have been shut since March 16 to prevent people draining their accounts as politicians scrambled to come up with a plan to allow Cyprus to qualify for 10 billion euros ($12.9 billion) in bailout loans for its stricken banking sector. The deal was finally reached in Brussels early Monday, and imposes severe losses on deposits of over 100,000 euros in the countrys two largest banks, Laiki and Bank of Cyprus. Laiki will be broken up, with its good assets being absorbed by Bank of Cyprus. The exact amounts of the losses have not yet been officially announced. Some individuals and businesses, spotting that Cypruss economy was in trouble and that a tax on deposits was being discussed, had managed to move their money out Cyprus well before the banks closed their doors last week.
