Post office retreats on cutting Saturday mail


By PAULINE JELINEK The Associated Press WASHINGTON The financially beleaguered Postal Service backpedaled on its plan to end Saturday mail delivery, conceding Wednesday that its gamble to compel congressional approval had failed. With limited options for saving money, the governing board said the agency should reopen negotiations with unions to lower labor costs and consider raising mail prices. Yet the board also said its not possible for the Postal Service to meet its goals for reduced spending without altering the delivery schedule. Delaying responsible changes, the board said, only makes it more likely that the Postal Service may become a burden to taxpayers. Congressional reaction was mixed, mirroring differences that have stalled a needed postal overhaul for some time. Some lawmakers had urged the agency to forge ahead with its plan, while others had said it lacked the legal authority to do so. The Postal Service said in February that it planned to switch to five-day-a-week deliveries beginning in August for everything except packages as a way to hold down losses. That announcement was risky. The agency was asking Congress to drop from spending legislation the longtime ban on five-day-only delivery. Congress did not do that when it passed a spending measure last month. By including restrictive language ... Congress has prohibited implementation of a new national delivery schedule for mail and package, according to the board. Disappointed but not wanting to disregard the law, the board directed the Postal Service to delay putting in place the new delivery schedule until Congress passes legislation that gives the agency the authority to implement a financially appropriate and responsible delivery schedule. The board made the decision in a closed meeting Tuesday. This is good news for rural com-

Darrell Issa of California, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, bemoaned the decision to back away from a delivery schedule that polling indicates the American people understand and support. Postal officials said that to restore the service to long-term financial stability, the agency must have the flexibility to reduce costs and come up with new revenues.

Library prepares for levy, Library Week


BY STACY TAFF staff@delphosherald.com DELPHOS The Board of Trustees of the Delphos Public Library kept its April meeting brief, discussing the upcoming renewal levy and the librarys plans for National Library Week. Director Kelly Rist brought the board up to speed on the events planned for the week, which falls between April 14-20. The theme is Libraries are the heart of every community, so weve had different businesses from around town pick a day and come to the library to highlight whatever it is they offer, Rist said. On Monday, its Marcos Pizza and theyll be here with samples. Tuesday its Baked to Perfection, and then in the evening its Family Fun Night with Tyler Nygren, the magician. Hes 14 years old and he also does aluminum sculptures. Wednesday will be the Chik-NBoard President House and then Thursday will be Leila Osting The Point and well also have a mother-daughter tea. Were also starting something new that Im really excited about, which were calling Once Upon a Time - Inter-generational Reading. For six weeks on Thursdays, well have a group of Vancrests assisted living residents come over here to meet up with different classes from St. Johns Elementary and the kids will read to them. The library will also drop fines for the week and hand out free tote bags emblazoned with sponsors. As May 7 draws near, the library is stepping up its campaign to get voters to renew its 5-year, .6 mill operating levy, which produces a significant portion of the librarys annual budget and is crucial to its operation. The levy was first approved back in 1978. With this election there wont be a huge turnout but the more positive votes we get the better, Board President Leila Osting said. Its very important that we get this to pass and one or two votes can make a difference. We should focus on reaching those people who are maybe a little hesitant to go out and vote. The librarys levy campaign is being led by Jane Sadler and pamphlets are being distributed detailing the services the library provides to the community. Aside from books, the 10,308 registered borrowers of the Delphos Public Library enjoy the following services: Books on CD, compact discs, tax forms, genealogy, newspapers,

Miller named Warrior of Month


Information submitted FORT WAYNE, Ind. As part Indiana Techs Warrior Pride program, each month the athletic department will name one male and one female athlete the Warrior of the Month. Athletes can earn recognition for their hard work on the field, excellence in the classroom, or being active in their community. The Warrior of the Month Award winners for the month of March are Josh Miller of the baseball team and Kendall Guthrie of the womens lacrosse team.

NKorea delivers new round of war rhetoric


By JEAN H. LEE The Associated Press PYONGYANG, North Korea North Korea delivered a fresh round of rhetoric today with claims it had powerful striking means on standby for a missile launch, while Seoul and Washington speculated that the country is preparing to test a medium-range missile during upcoming national celebrations. On the streets of Pyongyang, meanwhile, North Koreans celebrated the anniversary of leader Kim Jong Uns appointment to the countrys top party post one in a slew of titles collected a year ago in the months after father Kim Jong Ils death. In the capital of neighboring South Korea, the countrys point person on relations with the North, Unification Minister Ryoo Kihl-jae, urged Pyongyang to cool down, engage in dialogue and reverse its decision to suspend operations of a joint industrial park just north of their shared border. We strongly urge North Korea not to exacerbate the crisis on the Korean peninsula, Ryoo said. The Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland, a nonmilitary agency that deals with relations with South Korea, said its striking means have been put on standby for a launch and the coordinates of targets put into the warheads. It didnt clarify further. The statement was the latest in a torrent of warlike threats seen outside Pyongyang as an effort to raise fears and pressure Seoul and Washington into changing their North Korea policy. Officials in Seoul and Washington say Pyongyang appears to be preparing to test-fire a medium-range missile designed to reach the U.S. territory of Guam in the Pacific Ocean. Such a launch would violate U.N. Security Council resolutions prohibiting North Korea from nuclear and ballistic missile activity, and mark a major escalation in Pyongyangs standoff with neighboring nations and the U.S. North Korea already has been punished in recent months for launching a long-range rocket in December and conducting an underground nuclear test in February. Analysts do not believe North Korea will stage an attack similar to the one that started the Korean War in 1950. But there are concerns that the animosity could spark a skirmish that could escalate into a serious conflict. North Korea has been, with its bellicose rhetoric, with its actions ... skating very close to a dangerous line, U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said in Washington on Wednesday. Their actions and their words have not helped defuse a combustible situation. The missile that officials believe Pyongyang is readying has been dubbed the Musudan by foreign experts after the northeastern village where North Korea has a launch pad. The missile has a range of 3,500 kilometers (2,180 miles) and is designed to reach U.S. military installments in Guam and Japan, experts say.

New York, have represented the U.S. overseas in exhibits sponsored by the State Department and the Smithsonian Institution and are included in museum collections in the U.S. and Europe. Talbot is the developer of a new collage technique which eliminates wet adhesives during the collagemaking process. This technique, which is discussed in his book, Collage: A New Approach, allows greater spontaneity, more precise placement of materials and at the same time eliminates wrinkling and allows collages to be composed and then glued down without disassembly. One does not have to be a painter or sculptor to be an artist, said Talbot in a recent interview. All of us are creative artists in many ways. More than any other visual art medium, collage is a metaphor for life like life, collage offers a nearly infinite choice of materials and creative possibilities. According to Shauna TurnerSmith of the Delphos Area Art Guild, Talbots program will include activities in which the audience will participate and a question-andanswer period as well. The artist will also be available to sign copies of his book.

E - The Environmental Magazine Dear EarthTalk: I know that some of us are genetically predisposed to get cancer, but what are some ways we can avoid known environmental triggers for it? B. Northrup, Westport, MA Cancer remains the scourge of the American health care system, given that four out of every 10 of us will be diagnosed with one form or another during out lifetime. Some of us are genetically predisposed toward certain types of cancers, but there is much we can do to avoid exposure to carcinogens in our environment. According to the Environmental Working Group (EWG), a non-profit working to protect public health and the environment, a key first step in warding off cancer is lifestyle change stopping smoking, reducing drinking, losing weight, exercising and eating right. The American Cancer Society reports that smoking and poor nutrition each account for about one-third of the 575,000 U.S. cancer deaths each year. But smoking and obesity are obvious and other cancer triggers arent so easily pinpointed. In 2010 the Presidents Cancer Panel reported that environmental toxins play a significant and under-recognized role in many cancers, causing grievous harm to untold numbers of Americans. And EWG reports that U.S. children are born pre-polluted with up to 200 carcinogenic substances already in their bloodstreams. Given this shocking fact, it may seem futile to try to reduce our bodies chemical burden, but it could be a matter of life and death. EWG lists several ways anyone can cut their cancer risk. First up is to filter our tap water, which can include arsenic, chromium and harmful chemicals. Simple carbon filters

New group pushes for part-time Ohio faculty rights

COLUMBUS (AP) Ohios attorney general says two Columbus men agreed to stop what he says were illegal charitable solicitations for a veterans group. Attorney General Mike DeWine said Wednesday the agreement prohibits the men from serving with charitable organizations in Ohio and from conducting or participating in charitable solicitations for organizations in the state. DeWine says the nonprofit Just 4 Vets hired one of the men to raise money for the group that helps veterans and their families. That fundraiser was assisted by the second man and others they recruited. DeWine says Just 4 Vets never received any money collected in donations solicited in front of various stores at least 12 times since November. The men could face financial penalties if they dont comply with the agreement.

Smoking and poor nutrition together account for twothirds of U.S. cancer deaths each year, but the Presidents Cancer Panel reported in 2010 that environmental toxins play a significant and under-recognized role in many cancers, causing grievous harm to untold numbers of Americans. (iStock photo) or pitchers can reduce contaminants, while more costly reverse osmosis filters can filter out arsenic or chromium. The foods we choose also play a role in whether or not we get cancer. Eating lots of fruits and vegetables is healthy, but not if they are laden with pesticides. Going organic when possible is the best way to reduce pesticide exposure. And when organic foods arent available, stick with produce least likely to contain pesticides (check out EWGs Clean 15 list of conventional crops containing little if any pesticide residue). EWG also suggests cutting down on high-fat meats and dairy products: Longlasting cancer-causing pollutants like dioxins and PCBs accumulate in the food chain and concentrate in animal fat. Eliminating stain- and grease-proofing chemicals (Teflon, Scotchgard, etc.) is another way to cut cancer risks. To avoid them, says EWG, skip greasy packaged foods and say no to optional stain treatments in the home. And steer clear of BPA, a synthetic estrogen found in some plastic water bottles, canned

Columbus defense attorney arrested on sex charge

AKRON (AP) A new association is lobbying for better benefits and bargaining rights for part-time faculty at Ohios public universities. The Ohio Part-Time Faculty Association also wants to boost pay for these adjunct professors, who make up about two-thirds of the states public university faculty. The Akron Beacon Journal reported today that Youngstown State University has the most part-time faculty, while the University of Akron has more than 1,000 part-time professors. Yvonne Bruce, a member of the part-time faculty association and a senior lecture in English at the University of Akron, tells the paper that many administrators dont understand the burden that part-time faculty face. The association supports proposed legislation in the General Assembly that would allow part-time faculty and graduate students the right to collective bargaining.

infant formula and canned foods. To avoid it, eat fewer canned foods, breast feed your baby or use powdered formula, and choose water bottles free of BPA, reports EWG. Personal care products and cosmetics can also contain carcinogens. EWGs Skin Deep cosmetics database flags particularly worrisome products and greenlights others that are healthy. Another cancer prevention tip is to seal wooden outdoor decks and playsetsthose made before 2005 likely contain lumber pressuretreated with carcinogenic arsenic in order to stave off insect infestations. Of course, avoiding too much sun exposureand wearing high-SPF sunscreenwhen using those decks and playsets is another important way to hedge ones bets against cancer.

COLUMBUS (AP) Columbus police have arrested an attorney on a sex charge after a woman reported she was fondled during a meeting at the attorneys office. Police say the incident happened at the office of defense attorney Javier Armengau on the afternoon of April 4. A police report says that Armengau, arrested Wednesday on charges of gross sexual imposition and public indecency, is accused of forcibly fondling a woman and exposing himself. Detective James Ashenhurst told the Columbus Dispatch today the woman was meeting with Armengau about a murder charge against her son, whom Armengau is representing. Phone and email messages were left with Armengau Thursday seeking comment. The Columbus police sexual assault and vice units and the Franklin County Sheriffs Office Special Investigations Unit conducted the investigation.

Service to meet significant cost reduction goals without changing its delivery schedule any rational analysis of our current financial condition and business options leads to this conclusion, the board statement said. An independent agency, the service gets no tax dollars for its day-to-day operations but is subject to congressional control. It lost nearly $16 billion last year $11.1 billion of that due to a 2006 law Congress passed forcing it to pay into future retiree health benefits, something no other agency does. Given these extreme circumstances and the worsening financial condition of the Postal Service, the board has directed management to seek a reopening of negotiations with the postal unions and consultations with management associations to lower total workforce costs, and to take administrative actions

necessary to reduce costs, according to the statement. It offered no giving further details. It said the board also asked management to look at further options to raise revenues, including a rate increase. Fredric Rolando, president of the National Association of Letter Carriers, called the idea of renegotiating labor contracts insulting and unnecessary, saying that suggestion is yet another sign that the Postal Service needs new executive leadership. He said Saturday delivery is critical to the Postal Services future. Losing this competitive advantage would not only reduce mail volume and revenue sending the USPS on a death spiral - but also would disproportionately affect small businesses, the elderly, rural communities, the onehalf of the public that pays bills by mail and the many millions who lack access to reliable Internet service. And it would cost tens of thousands of jobs, Rolando said in a statement.

Timing of spring nitrogen application is important


BY JAMES J. HOORMAN Assistant Professor OSU-Extension Educator fertilizer N source. Nitrogen timing options usually include fall applications, spring preplant applications, sidedress or delayed applications made after planting, and split or multiple treatments. Fall N applications are usually less effective than spring applications. In general, fallapplied N is 10 to 15 percent less effective than N applied in the spring. Higher N application rates should not be used in the fall to try to make up for potential N losses. Use of a nitrification inhibitor with fall-applied N can improve the effectiveness of these treatments. Most studies show, however, that spring-applied N is more effective than inhibitor-treated fall N when conditions favoring N loss from fall applications develop. Inhibitortreated anhydrous ammonia was superior to anhydrous ammonia when applied in the fall, but not when applied in the spring. Spring-applied anhydrous ammonia, however, was on the average better than the fall inhibitor-treated ammonia. To increase the effectiveness of fall-applied N with an inhibitor, delay the application until soil temperatures are below 50 degrees F. Benefits from delayed or sidedress N applications are most likely where there is a high risk of N loss between planting and crop N use. Preplant N losses occur from sandy soils through leaching

The Tri-State Fertilizer Guide gives the following recommendations on corn nitrogen application. The timing of nitrogen (N) fertilizer applications is an important factor affecting the efficiency of fertilizer N because of leaching and denitrification. Denitrification occurs when nitrate N (NO3) is present in a soil and not enough oxygen (O2) is present to supply the needs of the bacteria and microorganisms in the soil. If oxygen levels are low, microorganisms strip the oxygen from the nitrate, producing N gas (N2) or nitrous oxide (N2O), which volatilizes from the soil. Three conditions that create an environment that promotes denitrification are wet soils, compaction and warm temperatures. Timing N applications to reduce the chance of N losses through these processes may increase the efficiency of fertilizer N use. Ideally, N applications should coincide with the N needs of the crop. This approach requires application of most of the N requirement for corn during a period 6 to 10 weeks after planting.. The efficacy of time of application depends on soil texture, drainage characteristics of the soil, amount and frequency of rainfall or irrigation, soil temperature and, in some situations, the

and from poorly drained soils through denitrification. For medium- and fine-textured soils, yields seldom differ between preplant and sidedress application. Occasionally, sidedress application can be superior to preplant application when early season rainfall is excessive. The advantage to delaying N application is to assess crop needs based on soil moisture and crop conditions. The disadvantages of delaying the major fertilizer N application are: the crop may have been under N deficiency stress before fertilizer N is applied, resulting in a yield loss; wet conditions during the sidedress application period can prevent application, and later additions may not be possible because of corn growth; and dry conditions at and after sidedressing will limit N uptake. John Sawyer, Iowa State University Extension Soil Fertility specialist says, In a wet spring or a wet early summer, sidedressed N should perform better than N applied preplant, because there is typically less N-loss associated with sidedressing, he says. In contrast, preplant N applications typically work better when conditions are dryerthan-normal during spring and early summer or equally as well with sidedress when conditions are normal. Sidedressing is typically better for poorly drained soils or sandy, or excessively drained soils, where theres more risk of N loss, Sawyer says. For moderate to well-drained, finetextured soils, that dont tend to pond, the N-loss risk is lower, and preplant N applications can perform equal to or better than sidedressed applications. (Taken from Corn and Soybean Digest, 2010.). Sebastian Braum, a Yara North America agronomist says farmers who are able to sidedress 32% urea-ammonium nitrate (UAN) solution will likely garner the best value for their dollar. Sidedressing 32% UAN is a good hedge against N loss, especially if you anticipate a cool, wet spring, he says. Good managers know that theyll get the best performance out of their N dollars if they split-apply. So, I would recommend putting half your N down pre-plant as close to planting as possible and half your N down after planting. If you sidedress anhydrous ammonia, stay within the rows or youll burn the roots and it takes longer for the N to become available to the corn than 32% UAN, which becomes available to the crop immediately, (Taken from Corn and Soybean Digest, 2010.)

Heat wrap up home court throughout playoffs


The Associated Press MIAMI All the Miami Heat did was set a franchise single-season record for wins with four games left to play, clinch the top overall spot in the NBA and secure homecourt advantage for the entirety of the playoffs. No big deal. No wild celebration was merited. No celebration at all, really. Just business as usual for the Heat, whose lone goal isnt being the best team in April but rather, being the best team in June. Miami wrapped up the No. 1 overall seed with a 10398 win in Washington on Wednesday, a game where the Heat played without LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and Udonis Haslem, all sidelined by minor injuries or illness. Weve had an amazing year, Heat forward Shane Battier told reporters in Washington. Weve set a lot of records and weve had a lot of story lines the whole year. Hopefully, our best story line is still ahead of us. Thats what were saving the highfives for. It was Miamis 62nd win, one more than the Heat club of 1996-97 managed. And now what has seemed inevitable for the last couple weeks Miami finishing the regular season atop the league has become reality. We dont set out to have milestones, said James, the reigning NBA MVP and a favorite to win that award for a fourth time this season. We only set out to get better each and every day and try to win a championship. Having that No. 1 seed might sound good but guarantees nothing. In the most recent nine seasons, the only team to finish the year with the best regular-season record and even make the NBA Finals was the 2007-08 Boston Celtics, who won that seasons title. Wrapping everything up now means that the final four games, all of which could have been oh-so-intriguing for the Heat, now basically dont mean very much, at least from the Miami perspective. Of course, neither did the 27-game winning streak, the second-longest stretch in league history. Most inhabitants of the Miami locker room See NBA, page 7

Jarrett, Bruton Smith headline new Hall nominees


By JENNA FRYER The Associated Press CHARLOTTE, N.C. NASCAR champion Dale Jarrett headlined the 25 nominees announced Wednesday for next years Hall of Fame class a list that finally includes track magnate Bruton Smith. Only five nominees are new to the list, with the other 20 carrying over from last year. Joining Jarrett and Smith as new nominees were engine-builder Maurice Petty, 5-time NASCAR weekly series national champion Larry Phillips and 1960 NASCAR champion Rex White. Five people will be selected for induction into the fifth Hall of Fame class in May 22 voting by a 54-member panel. The panel will finally get to consider Smith, who many believed had been snubbed by not being among the nominees the last four years. He said Wednesday night from Texas Motor Speedway he never felt snubbed by not being a nominee. It did not bother me but I got it from all kinds of people constantly, but I can honestly say it didnt bother me, Smith told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. Naturally, I am honored that all of a sudden Ive been nominated and I am a candidate and all the people around me are telling me how wonderful it is, so its wonderful. Smith promoted his first race at 18 years old and later ran the National Stock Car Racing Association, which was seen as an early competitor to NASCAR. He built Charlotte Motor Speedway, the anchor property in a portfolio that now includes eight tracks hosting 12 Sprint Cup races, the All-Star race and several high-profile motorsports activities.

Mens college basketball needed a game like Monday night to end the season. With all the seemingly endless things, all negative, going on in the college world such as the brouhaha over Rutgers head coach Mike Rice and his staff and the stuff going on at Auburn we needed a great game like that to decide the mens title. It was rather enjoyable to watch. Some say it wasnt a great game define great for me! but it was a fun game, the way it should be to decide who is the best: two guys from either side Luke Hancock from Louisville and Spike Albrecht from Michigan going crazy and having once-in-a-lifetime games (consider the moment!) and at the same time, two superstars coming up clutch in the clutch; a crowd that sounded extremely energized and very loud; two teams playing with nothing to lose and going for it. An aside here. I read a few articles and watched a few programs over the Mike Rice firing and it seemed as if the ones defending him were the players, the ones who were the victims of his actions. I find that very curious. I cant really explain it unless maybe a Stockholm Syndrome-type reaction you know, what happened to Patty Hearst when she was kidnapped by the Symbionese Liberation Army in 1974 and then coming to sympathize with her captors. Well, maybe they bought into what he was doing. After all, I can remember a few stories Isaiah Thomas was one about coaches and such trying to lure recruits away (usually through their parents) from Bob Knight at Indiana because of his explosive temper and volatile nature and the response was how they were only interested in the basketball coach and not the person. Can somebody beat UConns womens basketball team in an NCAA final? Just when you thought that perhaps, the balance of power in womens college basketball had shifted away from Storrs, Connecticut, back come the Huskies to blow out both Notre Dame and upstart Louisville to claim their eighth national title under Geno Auriemma.

Nice way to end a season

off the court and throughout the community. Its difficult to find people like that, that have been so heavily involved for so long. When you consider what he has accomplished over his amazing career, I think you can put him in the same sentence as (the late St. Johns boys basketball coach) Bob Arnzen, (Kalida coach) Dick Kortorkax, Joe Petrocelli and the like, guys that had a lot of success over a lot of years. Hoehn spoke about the reasons why the coach decided the time was right. It was just time. There was no specific reason he told me other than he wanted to keep the program in good standing; thats obvious because he took a lot of pride in this program, Hoehn continued. Hes had so much success, including a State title. When you consider we are the sixth-smallest public school in the state of Ohio, that is an amazing accomplishment; to have that kind of success shows he must have done a lot of things right. The process to replace the legendary coach has already been completed. We do have his replacement already but we wont release the name until the Board of Education formally approves it at their next meeting Wednesday, Hoehn added. I hope John enjoys his retirement with his family and friends; he has earned it. I am confident hell remain as supportive in retirement as he was in action.

JIM METCALFE

Man, that guy can flat-out coach. Ive written this before: he gives you the impression he is almost a dumb hick that doesnt know a lot but at heart, he is an assassin. He doesnt just want to beat you and steal your lunch money; he wants to steal your soul and cut your heart out in the process. Im not writing this in a bad way, either; that is almost the attitude between the whistles and lines you have to have to be successful at that level. At the same time, he does have a lot of class and his players do, too, so hes doing it the right way. Lets put it another way: I dont think you will read about a recruiting scandal for the University of Connecticut womens basketball team anytime soon. The Fighting Irish had beaten UConn all three times this season and seven of their last eight but as the old sports maxim goes: its hard enough to beat a team twice in the same season, let alone three times. How about four? The Lady Cardinals had had a magic ride in this tournament, knocking off defending champion and heavy HEAVY favorite Baylor and long-time power Tennessee in the regional, then California in the national semis. They had some things go their way I am sure you saw some of the playground slop Shoni Schimmel tossed up toward the rim, for example, in the previous games but the magic ran out. How much of that was the team they were playing they beat three very good teams, no doubt, in getting there! in the finals and what they did and how much of that had to do with them finally realizing where they were and being overwhelmed in the moment?

The Associated Press NEW YORK The Brooklyn Nets are losing one of their biggest names as they prepare for the playoffs. Jay-Z owned just a little piece of the team, but was a large presence when the franchise changed homes and identities this season. The rap mogul is selling his stake in the Nets so he can become certified as a player agent, possibly before the end of the season. The process is under way, with paperwork already filed, a person with knowledge of the details said Wednesday. NBA rules prevent anyone from being involved in ownership and player representation. Yahoo Sports, which first

reported Jay-Zs plans, said his Roc Nation company has partnered with Creative Artists Agency (CAA) and hopes to compete for players in this Junes NBA draft. BASEBALL BOSTON The longest home sellout streak in major pro sports history ended at 820 games for the Boston Red Sox. The official attendance for an 8-5 loss to the Baltimore Orioles was 30,862. The capacity for night games at Fenway Park is 37,493. The streak began in May 2003 and includes the postseason. The string broke the record of 814 set by the NBAs Portland Trail Blazers from 1977-95. Bostons streak of 794 reg-

SPORTS BRIEFS

Speedway Motorsports Inc. went public in 1995 and became the first motorsports company to be traded at the New York Stock Exchange. Smiths Sonic Automotive includes several hundred auto dealerships across the country. We have a huge investment in NASCAR, in all of motorsports, its approaching $4 billion at least, Smith added. But Im proud of what weve been able to do, weve spent a lot of money building this monster called SMI. And the one thing we talk about, the group of about six to 10 whenever we are about to do something large, Is it good for the sport? If we find out from some of our people thats its not good for the sport, we dont do it. We stress repeatedly to say we are fan-friendly. And we work extremely hard to prove that. Jarrett was NASCARs 1999 cham-

pion and is 21st on the victory list with 32. Among those victories include three Daytona 500s wins, two Brickyard 400s and the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte. Jarrett also won at least one race a year in 11 consecutive seasons from 1993 through 2003 and followed his father, Ned, into broadcasting after his 2008 retirement. Ned and Dale Jarrett joined Hall-ofFamers Lee and Richard Petty as the second father-son combination to win NASCAR championships; Jarrett will now try to join his father in the Hall of Fame. Ned Jarrett was in the second class. Maurice Petty is trying to become the third Petty in the Hall. His brother, Richard, was a member of the inaugural class and father, Lee, was elected the next year. Dale Inman, his cousin, was also the first crew chief inducted. Maurice Petty will be judged on the seven championships won during his tenure as chief engine-builder for Petty Enterprises. Known as Chief, he supplied the horsepower that propelled Richard Petty to most of his 200 NASCAR wins. Phillips, meanwhile, was a 5-time weekly champion but nobody knows for sure how many wins he collected. The Missouri native raced anywhere he could whenever he had the chance and recordkeeping wasnt always the priority.

ular-season sellouts also is the longest in major pro sports history. The previous mark in Major League Baseball history was 455 set by the Cleveland Indians from 1995-2001. CHICAGO Goats that previously appeared at Chicagos Wrigley Field were alive and kicking. But not Wednesday, when a goats head was left in a box outside the home of the Cubs. The box was addressed to team chairman Tom Ricketts. Ricketts is currently in negotiations with city officials and neighborhood business people about the $300 million renovation of Wrigley Field. Cubs spokesman Julian Green says staff at Wrigley Field discovered the

package and immediately called police. Because the umpiring crew got stuck in traffic, the start of the Chicago White Sox game at the Washington Nationals was delayed 16 minutes Wednesday night. The Nationals, who won 5-2, said the umpires preparation for the game was delayed by their late arrival at the ballpark. ARLINGTON, Texas Nolan Ryan is staying in his role as chief executive officer of the Texas Rangers.

Woods favored but challengers aplenty at Augusta


By PAUL NEWBERRY The Associated Press AUGUSTA, Ga. Eighty-three-year-old Arnold Palmer punched the air on an overcast morning. The Masters was under way. Three of golfs greatest players Palmer, 77-year-old Gary Player and 73-year-old Jack Nicklaus struck ceremonial tee shots to begin the first major of the year today. Palmer was clearly pleased with his effort, which settled right in the middle of the fairway. He pumped his right fist as the crowd roared. The only nerves are to make sure you make contact, Nicklaus quipped. It doesnt make a diddly-darn where it goes. Sandy Lyle, John Peterson and amateur Nathan Smith followed the former champions to the tee, beginning their rounds under gray skies after three warm, sunny days of practice. There was a chance of rain in the afternoon. Lyle and Smith both left No. 1 with bogeys. Larry Mize, the 1987 winner, was the very early leader with birdies on the first three holes. Four-time Masters champion Tiger Woods came into the week as the overwhelming favorite. He already has three wins this year and reclaimed No. 1 spot in the world rankings. I feel comfortable with every aspect of my game, Woods said. I feel that Ive improved and Ive gotten more consistent and I think the wins show that. But Woods hasnt won a major since 2008 and has gone eight long years since his last win at Augusta. He was scheduled to tee off at 10:45 a.m. with Luke Donald and Scott Piercy. Obviously, Tiger is Tiger, Piercy said. Hes always going to be that target. He knows it and thats how he wants it. But theres a lot of people getting closer. And the golfing gods, or whatever you want to call them, have a lot to do with winning. A bounce here, a bounce there. A lip in, a lip out. Angel Cabrera got one of those bounces off a pine tree and back into the 18th fairway in 2009 that helped him save par and win a playoff on the next hole. Sure, he was a former U.S. Open champion but the big Argentine was No. 69 in the world that year, the lowestranked player to win the Masters. The hole got in the way twice for Charl Schwartzel in 2011, once on a chip across the first green that fell for birdie, another a shot from the third fairway that dropped for eagle. He finished with four straight birdies to win. Zach Johnson was just a normal guy from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, who would not seem to fit the profile of a Masters champion. He wasnt very long, didnt hit the ball very high and didnt go for the green in two on any of the par 5s. He won by two shots in 2007. The favorite is all media-driven, all publicdriven, Johnson said. There are no surprises out there. Theres probably 70 or 80 guys that you would not be surprised one bit if any of them won. Three-time Masters champion Nick Faldo didnt name them all but his list kept growing when he talked about 20 players who could win the Masters, all from what he referred to as the second tier and described as pretty darn good. Justin Rose, Ian Poulter and Luke Donald. Brandt Snedeker and Bill Haas. Louis (Continued form Page 6) didnt even know when the Heat won the division title. For Miami, its a championship-orbust year, which explains why the scene in Washington on Wednesday night didnt differ much from any of the previous 61 Heat victories this season. Were sitting at 62 wins, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. It does mean something for us in that locker room. We havent been here before as a franchise. Its a minor thing. We want to keep the main thing the main thing. But at the same time, it is a nice accomplishment for our franchise and everybody involved. The question for Spoelstra to ponder is how to rest players before Game 1 of the playoffs, a series that will likely be against the Milwaukee Bucks. Boston plays at Miami on Friday in an Eastern Conference finals rematch from a year ago. Sunday, Chicago the team that snapped Miamis 27-game winning streak visits the Heat. After that, all that remains for Miami is two matchups with lottery-bound clubs, one of those games being a trip to James former home court in Cleveland, followed by a home finale against Orlando. Theres playoff ramifications for the Celtics and Bulls in those games, though its unclear how or if that may sway the Heat thinking when it comes to assembling a lineup, especially with all these little nagging injury issues popping up so close to the postseason. Miami has the leagues second-best home record so far this season, trailing only the Denver Nuggets.
LAKERS 113, TRAILBLAZERS 106 PORTLAND, Ore. Kobe Bryant scored a season-high 47 points and the Los Angeles Lakers pulled closer to a playoff berth with a 113-106 victory over the short-handed Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday night. The Lakers moved a game up on the Utah

Oosthuizen and Schwartzel. Not to mention 3-time winner Phil Mickelson, defending champ Bubba Watson and former world No. 1 Rory McIlroy. Yes, Tiger is the favorite, Faldo said. Hes strong. Hes determined. We will see. But hes going to be chased by a lot of really good players. Augusta National chairman Billy Payne held his annual State of the Masters news conference on Wednesday, where of course the subject turned to the clubs first female members, former secretary of state Condoleezza Rice and South Carolina financier Darla Moore. I hope the experience for Condi and Darla, as members of our club, has been every bit as enjoyable for them over the last eight months as it has been for their fellow members, Payne said. Its just awesome. While Augusta National had long resisted female members, with a former chairman famously declaring the club wouldnt change its all-male membership at the point of a bayonet, Payne felt his membership was now eager to lead the sport into a new era. While claiming to look forward, Augusta National is about tradition more than anything. That was never more apparent than during the Par 3 Contest on Wednesday, a chance for the sport to embrace its past and give the players an opportunity to unwind before the shots that really count. Everyone from moms to small children some barely old enough to walk took on caddying duties. The greats of the game, long past their prime, thrilled the patrons with a few more swings. Technically, they kept score, but everyone knew it was all for fun. No need to get worked up about these nine holes. Thats for today, after everyone moves over to the big course. Its a good way to unwind before the stress of the tournament starts, Brandt Snedeker said. This is a great way to relax and spend time with your family. This picturesque spot nine exquisite little holes tucked into the northeast edge of Augusta National provides another of those quirky trademarks that sets the first major apart from the next three. Where else can you see a threesome that includes Nicklaus, Palmer and Player? Where else can you see former top-ranked tennis player Caroline Wozniacki on the bag for her boyfriend, McIlroy? Where else can you find 91-year-old Jack Fleck, who won the 1955 U.S. Open in one of golfs greatest upsets, taking a few whacks? Its fun down here, Fred Couples said. Its a good little spot. Especially when Nicklaus, Palmer and Player with 13 green jackets and 34 major championships among them stroll around the little course for an hour or so, providing a running commentary on the deteriorating state of their once-mighty games. After Palmer sliced one into the water, he joked, That was my last ball. I can loan you one, Nicklaus quipped, as he hunched over to tee up his ball. Is my credit good? Palmer asked. Good with me, Nicklaus replied. No one has ever won the Par 3 Contest and gone on to win the Masters, which doesnt bode well for Ted Potter Jr. He beat Mickelson and Matt Kuchar in a 3-way, 2-hole playoff after they tied at 4-under 23. Ernie Els and Nick Watney also shot 23 but they had already left the club and didnt take part in the playoff.
the season. Paul added 11 assists and Willie Green had 15 points in breaking the old mark of 30 wins by the 1974-75 team, when it was known as the Buffalo Braves. The Clippers improved to 31-9 at home, three days after clinching their first Pacific Division title in franchise history. Nikola Pekovic scored 20 points and Derrick Williams had 13 points and 10 rebounds for the Timberwolves, who got swept 4-0 by the Clippers for the first time since 1992-93. HAWKS 124, 76ERS 101 PHILADELPHIA Josh Smith had 28 points and 12 rebounds, John Jenkins added 21 points and Atlanta blitzed Philadelphia. Mike Scott contributed 17, Al Horford had 16 and Jeff Teague 13 for the Hawks, who snapped a 3-game losing streak and improved to 43-36. The Hawks pulled into a tie with the Chicago Bulls for fifth place in the Eastern Conference playoff chase. Thaddeus Young led the reeling Sixers with 28 points, while Nick Young had 19 off the bench. MAGIC 113, BUCKS 103, OT ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) Nik Vucevic had a career-high 30 points and 20 rebounds, Tobias Harris added 30 points and 19 rebounds and Orlando rallied for an overtime victory over Milwaukee. The Magic overcame a 5-point deficit in the final minute of regulation, sending it to OT on a 3-pointer by Harris with 1.9 seconds left. Vucevic and Harris combined for nine points in the extra period. Monta Ellis led the Bucks with 21 points, and John Henson and Mike Dunleavy each added 17. Henson also had 25 rebounds for Milwaukee. PISTONS 111, CAVALIERS 104 CLEVELAND Andre Drummond scored a career-high 29 points and Detroit won a second straight game for the first time in two months. Greg Monroes basket with 38.8 seconds remaining gave Detroit a 105103 lead and the Pistons, who hadnt won consecutive games since Feb. 8-9, swept the 4-game season series from the Cavaliers. Drummond also grabbed 11 rebounds, while Monroe scored 23 points and Rodney Stuckey added 18. Kyrie Irving scored 27 points, including 21 in the second half, but missed a 3-pointer that would have given the Cavaliers the lead with 21 seconds left. The All-Star guard was playing on the second night of back-to-back games for the first time since returning from a shoulder injury. KINGS 121, HORNETS 110 SACRAMENTO, Calif. John Salmons had 22 points, and Jason Thompson and Marcus Thornton each added 20 to help Sacramento snap a 4-game losing streak. The Kings led by 17 at the half and surpassed the 100-point mark early in the fourth quarter when they stretched the lead to 28 points against the struggling Hornets. The victory halted a season-high five-game home losing streak for the Kings. Isaiah Thomas had 15 points and DeMarcus Cousins 11 for the Kings.

Jazz for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference. Portland, missing the playoffs for the second straight season, has lost nine straight, the most since an 11-game skid in the 2005-06 season. Rookie Damian Lillard led the Blazers with a career-high 38 points. Pau Gasol had 23 points, seven rebounds and nine assists, while Dwight Howard added 20 points and 10 rebounds for the Lakers. Bryant was 18-of-18 from the free-throw line. NUGGETS 96, SPURS 86 DENVER Wilson Chandler scored 29 points and Corey Brewer had 28 as Denver overcame a slow start to post its franchise-record 21st straight home win. The Nuggets (54-24) also tied their franchise record for victories in an NBA season, with four games remaining, including two at home, where they improved to a league-best 36-3. Andre Iguodala recorded a triple-double with 12 points, 10 assists and 13 rebounds for the Nuggets, who havent lost at home since Jan. 18 against Washington. They broke the old mark of 20 straight home wins set by Doug Moes 1984-85 team. NETS 101, CELTICS 93 BOSTON Deron Williams had 29 points and 12 assists to lead Brooklyn over Boston. Brook Lopez scored 21 points and Joe Johnson added 20 for Brooklyn, which won for the 12 time in 18 games overall and beat the Celtics for the third time in four meetings this season. The Nets moved closer to wrapping up fourth place in the Eastern Conference and clinching home-court advantage in the first round. Brooklyn owns a 3 1/2-game edge over idle Chicago with four games left to play in the regular season. Paul Pierce led Boston with 23 points, Jeff Green added 11 and Kevin Garnett had 11 points and eight rebounds in his second game back after missing the previous eight with an inflamed left ankle. SUNS 102, MAVERICKS 91 DALLAS P.J. Tucker scored 17 points, including two key baskets in the closing minutes, and Phoenix helped eliminate Dallas from postseason contention for the first time since 2000. The Suns blew a 14-point lead in the second quarter and almost did it again in the fourth before hanging on to snap a 10-game losing streak that was their longest in 16 years. The loss, coupled with the Lakers victory at Portland later Wednesday, meant a 12-season streak of playoff trips for the Mavericks (38-40) officially ended. Goran Dragic led the Suns with 21 points and 13 assists, while Luis Scola had 11 points and a season-high 15 rebounds. Shawn Marion led the Mavericks with 22 points and nine rebounds. Dirk Nowitzki scored 21 points and Vince Carter had 18.

that the Hall of Fame pitcher would remain. That came after the end of the first homestand of the season. NEW YORK (AP) Major League Baseball created a task force that will study how to increase diversity in the game, especially among black players. In less than a week, baseball will celebrate the 66th anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier. A new movie titled 42 focuses on the Hall of Famer. The 18-member committee includes representatives from club ownership, the players union, minor league and college baseball, the MLB scouting bureau and other areas. Hall of Famer Frank Robinson and former major league manager Jerry Manuel are among the members. MLB says about 8.5 percent of players on this years opening day rosters identified themselves as African-American or black. Thats around half the number from the mid-1970s through the mid-1990s. COLLEGE BASKETBALL LOUISVILLE, Ky. They havent stopped partying in Louisville. The latest celebration was a bit more structured as the NCAA champion Cardinals mens team and runner-up womens squad received heroes welcomes at the KFC Yum! Center. A near-capacity

crowd awash in red thanked players and coaches for providing one of the most satisfying weeks ever with both playing for titles and the men delivering Louisvilles first championship in 27 years. STORRS, Conn. The Connecticut womens basketball team returned to campus, wearing warm-up jackets with Gr8ness printed on the back and carrying with them the programs eighth NCAA championship trophy. Dozens of fans greeted the Huskies at Bradley International Airport and more than 2,000 others gathered on a plaza across from Gampel Pavilion, the schools basketball arena, for a ceremony to welcome the team home. The team, which beat Louisville 93-60 on Tuesday night, boarded doubledecker buses for a victory lap around campus, before heading to the ceremony. KANSAS CITY, Kan. Kansas State rewarded basketball coach Bruce Weber for winning a share of the schools first conference championship in 36 years with a raise and a one-year contract extension. Webers annual salary will increase by $250,000 to $1.75 million next season, and increase by $100,000 each of the remaining years on his original five-year deal. That means Weber will make $2.15 million for the 2017-18 season, the year that has been added to his contract.

Tomorrows Horoscope
FRIDAY, APRIL 12, 2013 It looks like your circumstances will improve in the year ahead. First and foremost, you could be unusually lucky in most of your moneymaking ventures, as well as generally fortunate in all of your dealings. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Commercial involvements continue to look pretty good for you, so give this area top priority, even if you have other developments calling for your attention. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Dont let a project of personal importance be taken out of your hands. If your leadership is challenged, try to make your antagonist work with you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Although your ambitions will be easily stimulated, the urge to achieve them might be lacking. Chances are this will be due to a lack of selfconfidence. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -If you want your friends to treat you well, you must first project warmth toward them. Theyll be analyzing your level of commitment, as youll be checking out theirs. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- The best way to enhance your image is by letting others know how easygoing you are. One way to do that is not to take life too seriously. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Youre likely to find an opening to discuss a serious matter with a close pal. Itll be an issue that demands attention, so you shouldnt miss this chance. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Someone youve helped in the past has been looking out for your interests, even though youve said nothing to him or her about your troubles. Prepare for some pleasant surprises. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- This can be a very pleasant day if you take a middle-of-the-road attitude and allow destiny to take its course. Youll know how to adjust to new circumstances with ease. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23Dec. 21) -- Try to spend a little time outdoors, engaging in an activity that stimulates you mentally and physically. You dont have to engage in anything that is too strenuous, just make sure its fun. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- One of your greatest attributes is an ability to effectively manage others. Your pure motives and impeccable skill will be clear to your colleagues. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Associates will be impressed by the example you set: self-assured, calm and at peace with the world. It will help put others in the same frame of mind. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- If you are restless, a change of scenery could help immensely. Strolling through places where you can unobtrusively observe others might fill the bill.

Ga. firefighters relieved hostage ordeal is over


BY JOHNNY CLARK and PHILLIP LUCAS SUWANEE, Ga. (AP) Its a call that firefighters routinely respond to a report of a medical emergency. But when five firefighters answered one in a neighborhood north of Atlanta on Wednesday afternoon, authorities said, they encountered an armed man who demanded that his cable and power be turned back on at the house, which was in foreclosure. The firefighters were held for hours, with one firefighter allowed to leave to move a fire truck. But with police later fearing the remaining firefighters were in immediate danger, SWAT teams set off a stun blast and stormed the house, and the gunman was shot dead during an exchange of gunfire, authorities said. One SWAT team member was shot in the hand or arm but was OK afterward, and firefighters suffered only minor injuries, authorities said. Gwinnett County police on Wednesday night didnt immediately release the name of the dead man or discussing details of the operation. However, the firefighters and a wounded police officer were treated at a nearby hospital and in good condition. Some had already gone home. In talking to the firefighters and their families just now, theyre relieved, Gwinnett County Fire Capt. Tommy Rutledge said at a news conference late Wednesday outside the hospital, according to video posted by Atlanta station WSB-TV. Theyre simply relieved that the situation is over, that their family members are with them and that theyre safe. The incident began with what seemed like a routine medical call for the five firefighters, who also have training as EMTs and paramedics. Dozens of police and rescue vehicles surrounded the home and a negotiator was keeping in touch with the gunman, police said. The situation remained tense until the blast rocked the neighborhood of mostly two-story homes and well-kept lawns. Residents unable to get into their neighborhood because of the police cordon flinched and recoiled as the enormous blast went off. Soon after the stun blast, officers exchanged gunfire with the suspect and a SWAT member was shot in the hand or arm, said Gwinnett County Police Cpl. Edwin Ritter. Ritter would not saw how the gunman was fatally shot, saying it was being investigated. The incident took place about 35 miles northeast of Atlanta, in the Interstate 85 corridor, and Rutledge said firefighters did not believe there was any danger in responding to the initial call. One engine and one ambulance responded. Ritter said authorities didnt yet know if the suspect may have faked a heart attack or some other problem to bring the firefighters to his home. A spokeswoman for Gwinnett Medical Center said Wednesday night that five firefighters and a wounded police officer were treated at the hospital and all were in good condition.

Bin Laden raid member can be WikiLeaks witness


BY DAVID DISHNEAU

FORT MEADE, Md. (AP) A military judge cleared the way Wednesday for a member of the team that raided Osama bin Ladens compound to testify at the trial of an Army private charged in a massive leak of U.S. secrets to the WikiLeaks website. Col. Denise Lind ruled for the prosecution during a court-martial pretrial hearing for Pfc. Bradley Manning at Fort Meade, near Baltimore. Prosecutors say the witness, presumably a Navy SEAL, collected digital evidence showing that the alQaida leader requested and received from an associate some of the documents Manning has acknowledged sending to WikiLeaks. Defense attorneys had argued that proof of receipt wasnt relevant to whether Manning aided the enemy, the most serious charge he faces, punishable by life imprisonment. The judge disagreed. The government must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the intelligence is given to and received by the enemy, Lind said. The ruling means prosecutors can call the witness during the merits, or main, phase of the trial. They otherwise could have used his testimony only

The government must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the intelligence is given to and received by the enemy,

Col. Denise Lind for sentencing purposes. The witness has been publicly identified only as John Doe and as a Defense Department operator, a designation given to SEALs. Prosecutors say he participated with SEAL Team Six in their May 2011 assault on the compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, in which the terrorist leader was killed. His testimony would help establish a chain of custody for the evidence from its recovery to its analysis by a computer expert. Lind ruled later in the hearing that John Doe must testify in civilian clothing and light disguise in a closed session at an alternate, secure location to prevent disclosure of his identity or details of the mission. The disguise cannot obscure his demeanor, body movements and facial reactions. Lind said the trial also would be closed during the

entire testimony of three other unidentified special prosecution witnesses who will discuss classified information. It might be closed during part of the testimony of 24 other government witnesses to prevent release of classified information, she said. The judge ordered a closed pretrial hearing May 7-8 to test alternatives to closing large portions of the trial. A sample witness will testify, using code words, redacted documents and unclassified summaries to avoid disclosing government secrets. Lind will then decide whether such a system would work at trial. His trial is scheduled to start June 3 at Fort Meade. It could last for 12 weeks. The 25-year-old native of Crescent, Okla., is accused of sending hundreds of thousands of Iraq and Afghanistan battlefield reports, State Department diplomatic cables, other classified records and two battlefield video clips to WikiLeaks in 2009 and 2010 while working as an intelligence analyst in Baghdad. In a statement he read aloud in court Feb. 28, Manning said he sent the material to the anti-secrecy website to expose the American militarys blood lust and disregard for human life in Iraq and Afghanistan.

G-8 ministers meet; Syria and NKorea top agenda

PC sales plunge as Windows 8 flops


BY PETER SVENSSON

From labor to birth to bonding. All in one room.

LONDON (AP) North Koreas provocations are escalating a tense situation and this war rhetoric needs to end, Germanys foreign minister said today. Speaking on the sidelines of the G-8 foreign ministers meeting in London, Guido Westerwelle said all of the groups ministers shared his conviction. This war rhetoric is not in any way acceptable and the G-8 has a united position on this, he said. The two-day talks among eight world powers are expected to focus on North Korea and the civil war in Syria. They will also get some celebrity wattage from an expected appearance by a U.N. special envoy for refugees, Angelina Jolie, who has teamed up with U.K. Foreign Secretary William Hague to combat sexual violence in war. Jolie and the U.N. special representative on sexual violence in conflict, Zanab Bangora, will meet with G-8 foreign ministers and issue a statement. On Syria, where the U.N. estimates that a two-year civil war has killed over 70,000 people, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry met with Syrian opposition leaders in London on Wednesday to discuss ways to step up nonlethal aid to the rebels. Britain and France have been pushing for the European Union to lift or amend its arms embargo on Syria so weapons can be sent to rebel fighters. Hague who welcomed the G-8 foreign ministers to London said earlier this week that no decisions have been made on whether the U.K. will allow the embargo to expire as scheduled June 1, effectively clearing the way to arm the rebels. He said if the situation in Syria continues to deteriorate, there will be a strong case for amending or lifting the embargo.

NEW YORK (AP) Microsofts Windows 8 software appears to be driving buyers away from PCs and toward smartphones and tablets, research firm IDC said Wednesday. Thats leading to the fastest drop in PC sales the firm has ever seen. Global shipments of PCs fell 14 percent in the first three months this year, IDC said. Thats the sharpest plunge since the firm started tracking the industry in 1994. The report comes after a year of bad news for the PC. Consumers, especially in wealthy countries like the U.S., are steering their dollars toward tablets and smartphones rather than upgrading their home PCs. Its the biggest challenge to the personal computer since the IBM PC was released in 1981. In an attempt to keep the PC relevant, Microsoft released a radical new version of Windows on Oct. 26. Windows 8 has a completely new look and forces users to learn new ways to control their machines. Unfortunately, it seems clear that the Windows 8 launch not only didnt provide a positive boost to the PC market, but appears to have slowed the market, IDC Vice President Bob ODonnell said. The newest version of Windows is designed to work well with touch-sensitive screens, but the displays add to the cost of a PC. Together, the changes and higher prices have made PCs a less attractive alternative to dedicated tablets and other competitive devices, ODonnell said. In its tally, IDC excludes tablets, even if they run PC-style software. It also excludes any device that has a detachable keyboard. With the release of Windows 8, PC makers have been reviving their experiments with tablet-laptop hybrids, some of which have detachable keyboards. Consumers are likely to have shifted some of their buying away from traditional laptops and toward these new devices, which means that the total sales decline of Windows-based devices may not be quite as drastic as IDCs numbers suggest.

Maine hermit living in wild for 27 years arrested


BY GLENN ADAMS

ROME, Maine (AP) A man who lived like a hermit for decades in a makeshift camp in the woods and may be responsible for more than 1,000 burglaries for food and other staples has been caught in a surveillance trap at a camp he treated as a Walmart, authorities said Wednesday. Christopher Knight, 47, was arrested last week when he tripped a surveillance sensor set up by a game warden while stealing food from a camp for people with special needs in Rome, a town of about 1,000 whose population swells with the arrival of summer residents. Authorities on Tuesday found the campsite where

they believed Knight, known as the North Pond Hermit in local lore, has lived for 27 years. Some residents say theyve been aware of the hermit for years, often in connection with break-ins that have occurred. He was so well known to some summer cottage owners that they left food out for him so he wouldnt break in during the colder months, state Trooper Diane Vance said. Knights living quarters in the woods included a tent covered by tarps suspended between trees, a bed, propane cooking stoves and a batteryrun radio, which he used to keep up with the news and listen to talk radio and a rock station, authorities said. Since vanishing from his Maine home for no apparent reason and setting up camp when he was about 19, Knight sustained himself on food stolen from dozens of cottages. Knight was caught Tuesday as he left the camps kitchen freezer with a backpack full of food, they said. Despite Maines harsh winters, during which temperatures sometimes struggle to get above 10 degrees for a week at a time, Knight stayed at his encampment and avoided making campfires so he wouldnt be detected, and he used propane only for cooking, Hughes said. To stay warm, he would bundle himself in multiple sleeping bags, authorities said.
