Romney wins Puerto Rico GOP campaign continues in Illinois, Louisiana
Case sparks controversy He is accused of the kind of crime that makes people shiver, the killing of families in their own homes under cover of night, the butchery of defenseless children. Under normal circumstances, Americans would dismiss such an act as worthy of only one response: swift and merciless punishment. Not so in the case of Robert Bales at least, not for some Americans.

Still up in the air Ohio wind project faces hurdles after court ruling
Ohio overhauls education A state education overhaul aimed at better preparing Ohio students for college will change the way children and schools are evaluated and the curriculum they use. Students should be getting “a diploma worth owning,” but the existing system shortchanges children by asking them to meet minimum standards that don’t necessarily make them college-ready, state Superintendent Stan Heffner said. See Page 7.

Bales case sparks controversy Many willing to cut Afghan shooting suspect some slack By The Associated Press He is accused of the kind of crime that makes people shiver, the killing of families in their own homes under cover of night, the butchery of defenseless children. Under normal circumstances, Americans would dismiss such an act as worthy of only one response: swift and merciless punishment. Not so in the case of Robert Bales at least, not for some Americans. So far, many seem willing to believe that a 10-year U.S. military veteran, worn down by four tours of combat and perhaps suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, simply snapped. That somehow there must be, if not an excuse, at least an explanation. Exactly what set off the Army sergeant accused of massacring 16 civilians in Afghanistan’s Kandahar Province is far from clear. But already, organizations and individuals with differing agendas have portrayed Bales as the personification of something that is profoundly broken, and have seized on his case to question the war itself or to argue that the American government is asking too much of its warriors. On the website of Iraq Veterans Against the War, organizer Aaron Hughes declared that Afghan war veterans “believe that this incident is not a case of one ‘bad apple’ but the effect of a continued U.S. military policy of drone strikes, night raids,
and helicopter attacks where Afghan civilians pay the price.” Those veterans, he wrote, “hope that the Kandahar massacre will be a turning point” in the war. “Send a letter BALES to the editor of your local paper condemning the massacre and calling for an end to our occupation in Afghanistan,” Hughes wrote. On March 11, authorities say, Bales, a 38-year-old married father of two from Washington state, stalked through two villages, gunned down civilians and attempted to burn some of the bodies. The dead included nine children. In Lake Tapps, Wash., neighbors knew Bales as a patriot, a friendly guy who loved his wife and kids, and a man who never complained about the sacrifices his country repeatedly asked of him. They find it hard to believe he could be capable of such depravity. “I kind of sympathize for him, being gone, being sent over there four times,” said Beau Britt, who lives across the street. “I can understand he’s probably quite wracked mentally, so I just hope that things are justified in court. I hope it goes OK.”
Romney • CONTINUED FROM A1
Paul Wohlberg, who lives next door to the Baleses, said: “I just can’t believe Bob’s the guy who did this. A good guy got put in the wrong place at the wrong time.” Talk like that infuriates Fred Wellman, a retired Army lieutenant colonel from Fredericksburg, Va., who did three tours in Iraq. He said comments like those of Bales’ neighbors and his attorney simply feed into the notion of “the broken veteran.” Wellman does not deny that 10 years of war have severely strained the service. But while others might see Bales as a wounded soul, Wellman sees a man who sneaked off base to commit his alleged crimes, then had the presence of mind to “lawyer up” as soon as he was caught. “That may play well with certain circles of the civilian community, which doesn’t understand our lives,” Wellman said. “But he’s going to be tried by a military court … and chances are three or four of those guys had things happen to them, may have had three or four tours, may have lost people, may have been blown up. And NONE of them snapped and killed 16 people.” He added: “It’s just too easy, and a lot of us, we’re not buying it.” Benjamin Busch, a Marine veteran of two tours of Iraq, wrote last week on the website The Daily Beast that he and his comrades are afraid to admit that Bales “lost his mind in war,” because that “allows for the possibility that any one of us could go insane at any time, and that every veteran poisoned by their combat experience could be on edge for life.”

heart wasn’t really in it. I knew I wanted to race.” The wins would continue to mount for Morgan — with most of them coming after he turned 35. He won 2,000 of his professional races his first 20 years in the sport, with 12,000 wins coming over the past 18 years. He is one of only three drivers to ever win 1,000 or more races in a single year, having captured 1,004 wins in 2006. “The biggest thing was I started using my own race bikes,” Morgan said of his rise to prominence after turning 35. “When I went
to Chicago, every set of stirrups was set (for another driver). He’s about a foot shorter than me and I was never comfortable at all. I started using my own bike in the mid-90s and it was a big turnaround for me. It was like night and day. It just worked out. From then on, everything was just roses, really.” Fitting, really. As he looks backs over a recordsetting career that dates back to his beginnings at the Miami County Fairgrounds, it’s hard not to view things through rose-colored glasses.
from getting the required number of delegates. Romney, in turn, expressed confidence that he’d prevail. “I can’t tell you exactly how the process is going to work,” Romney said. “But I bet I’m going to become the nominee.” Both are aggressively competing in the next two states to vote. Illinois, a more moderate Midwestern state, is seen as more friendly territory for Romney, while Santorum is the favorite in the more conservative Southern state of Louisiana.
Wind • CONTINUED FROM A1 have said numerous conditions set by the Ohio Power Siting Board would protect the public, and that failure of the project is unlikely partly because of increasing demand for electricity. Buckeye Wind spokesman Jason Dagger said new coal or nuclear projects are unlikely and that wind and solar energy sources will be necessary. Some county officials believe the project will generate tax revenue and provide renewable energy, while others say it won’t provide enough money to make up for potential damage to the landscape and property values. Qualifying renewable energy projects could be exempt from paying tangible personal property taxes under legislation passed in 2010. They would be responsible instead for a payment in lieu of taxes to local governments and schools, with local governments and the county’s general fund splitting any revenue generated. “If we don’t get that tax treatment, it would be hard for the project to compete with any project in surrounding states,” Everpower spokesman Michael Speerschneider said.
Can you hear what your car is telling you? Yes, your car talks to you, and it’s pretty important that you listen to it! Every machine emits sounds, which can be interpreted as a sort of language. You can learn a lot about your car’s wellbeing by listening to it carefully. Today’s cars and trucks have much quieter engines than those of a few years ago. One consequence of this is that motorists are now compelled to depend more on dashboard displays for signs of problems. Unfortunately, many drivers tend to ignore these lights and dials. Because modern vehicles are tougher and better built than ever, the car might continue to work for a while, even if something is wrong or if a part is worn out. Ignoring these warning signs, though, might cause an accident, putting your life or someone else’s in jeopardy. So, when starting up and driving your car or truck, pay good attention to the sounds coming from the engine room and from the whole car itself.

Abnormal sounds could be an indication of trouble in your engine, transmission, brakes, steering, or exhaust system. You might even hear some parts of the body telling you something is going wrong. If your knowledge of all things mechanical is limited, the next time you start your car, concentrate on what it sounds like as it runs normally, in good condition. Then, if you later hear something abnormal, try your best to describe the sound and where it is coming from. Get your car to your local dealership or private garage as soon as possible and describe what you noticed to your mechanic. Most of the time, your car will be whispering smooth sounds that make you happy and comfortable. But remember: as soon as you don’t like a sound, have it checked. At the least, you might be saving money by preventing a small problem from developing into a major one.

It’s Fun To Recycle! Recycled Paper Processing Mills Recycled paper processing mills use paper as their feedstock. The recovered paper is combined with water in a large vessel called a pulper that acts like a blender to separate fibers in the paper sheets from each other. The resultant slurry then passes through screens and other separation processes to remove contaminants such as ink, clays, dirt, plastic and metals. The amount of contaminants that are acceptable in the pulp depends upon the type of paper being produced. Mechanical separation equipment includes coarse and fine screens, centrifugal cleaners, and dispersion or kneading units that break apart ink particles. Deinking processes use special systems aided by soaps or surfactants to wash or float ink and other particles away from the fiber. Paper that has been used and treated for use again is recycled paper. Paper from homes, offices, and schools can be collected, sent to special recycling centers, and remade into usable paper. This process can take place over and over. Every year we cut down more trees to meet the world's demand for paper. Recycling will help save trees from being cut down. Activity: Make your own paper from old newspaper. You will need: a blender a whole section of newspaper 2 and a 1/2 single newspaper pages 5 cups (1.2 liters) of water a pan 3 inches (7.6cm) deep a piece of screen to fit inside the pan a measuring cup a flat piece of wood the size of a newspaper's front page wax paper Follow These Steps: 1. Tear the two-and-a-half pages of newspaper into tiny strips. 2. Place the strips in a blender with 5 cups of water. ASK PERMISSION TO USE
THE BLENDER. HAVE AN ADULT SUPERVISE THIS STEP. Cover the blender and blend the newspaper and water. 3. Pour about 1 inch (2.5cm) of water into the pan. Pour the blended paper pulp into the measuring cup. 4. Put the screen into the pan. Pour one cup (240 ml) of pulp over the screen. 5. Spread the pulp evenly in the water with your fingers. 6. Lift the screen and let the water drain off. 7. Open the newspaper section to the middle. Put the newspaper on a waterproof surface. Place wax paper in the center of the newspaper. Place the screen with the pulp on the wax paper. Close the newspaper. 8. Carefully flip over the newspaper section so the screen is on top of the pulp. THIS STEP IS VERY IMPORTANT. 9. Place the board on top of the newspaper and press out extra water. Open the newspaper and take out the screen. Leave the newspaper open and let the pulp dry for at least 24 hours. When your paper pulp is dry, peel it off the wax paper and write on it! Eco-Facts

Recovered fiber can be used to produce new paper products made entirely of recovered fiber (i.e. 100 percent recycled content) or from a blend of recovered and virgin fiber. Fiber cannot, however, be recycled endlessly. It is generally accepted that a fiber can be used five to seven times before it becomes too short (as a result of repulping and other handling) to be useable in new paper products. Recovered paper with long cellulose fibers (such as office paper) has the greatest flexibility for recycling as it can be used to produce new paper products that use either long or short fibers. Recovered paper with short cellulose fibers (such as newspaper) can only be recycled into other products that use short cellulose fibers. For this reason, recovered paper with long fibers is generally of higher value than recovered paper with short fiber. Now you know how to make recycled paper. Wood pulp, the raw material used in most paper production, comes from trees. More than 1 billion trees are cut down each year to make disposable diapers! Recycling efforts are increasing worldwide because of our concern over the deforestation of the earth. Discarded items, such as computer paper, grocery bags, milk cartons, boxes,

Isn't paper just paper? No, As a matter of fact, paper has its own "DNA" makeup kind of like human beings. Corrugated cardboard boxes & brown grocery bags Are made with a high-grade fiber to give them extra strength required for their use. Milk cartons & drink boxes Many people think you can't recycle milk cartons because of their thin plastic lining, but this is easily removed during the recycling process. When they're recycled, a single 1 litre milk carton can be turned into five sheets of high quality office paper - this makes cartons a valuable recycling commodity. Recycling Paper • 75% of each tree that is cut down for paper is not used in a paper product • 98 tons of various resources are required to make one ton of paper • Paper made from recycled paper uses 70% less energy • Recycled paper can be made from three different types of paper; mill broke (paper scrap and trimmings), pre-consumer waste (paper that was discarded before consumer use), and post-consumer waste (paper discarded after consumer use, such as old newspapers.) Recycling one ton of paper would: • Save enough energy to power the average American home for six months. • Save 7,000 gallons of water. • Save 3.3 cubic yards of landfill space. • Reduce greenhouse gas emissions by one metric ton of carbon equivalent (MTCE). Recycling paper... • Reduces greenhouse gas emissions that can contribute to climate change by avoiding methane emissions and reducing energy required for a number of paper products • Extends the fiber supply • Saves considerable landfill space • Reduces energy and water consumption • Decreases the need for disposal in a landfill

Organizing Tips for Young & Old Is organization only for grownups? I get to speak to grown-ups a lot about how to be more organized but the tips I share with them are true and important for anyone, no matter how old you are. What does it mean to be organized? Benjamin Franklin is credited with saying the phrase, “A place for everything and everything in its place.” That phrase simply means that you have assigned a specific place for everything you have (clothes, toys, school supplies) and that when you are finished with an item, you return it to its place. That’s really all there is to being organized! Why is it important to be organized?
Let’s answer that question by asking another question. Would you rather spend your play time looking for what you want to play with or spend it by actually playing with it? I know that I would rather be able to find what I am looking for right away so that I can spend my free time doing what I want – and not be frustrated by not being able to find it. Being organized in school helps you get better grades too because you remember to do your assignments and never forget to turn them in! Organization Solutions for You When I speak to groups, I share with them that to be organized, they need to: 1. Set Boundaries – this is the same as what Benjamin Franklin said. Identify a place for every-

bin that is completely full of Barbie dolls or Hot Wheels and you get more, you may have to decide which ones are your favorites and which one you can donate to charity so another child can play with them. When your box of school papers is full, you will have to go back through them and decide which ones you really want to save and recycle the rest.
2. Make Decisions – When you run out of room for something, you have to make decision about what to keep and what not to keep. For example, if you have a
3. Start Good Habits – When I speak to grown-ups about organizing, I have to help them break some habits they have that keep them from being organized. Since you are young, you can start now to set boundaries and make decisions which are habits that will last a lifetime!
a futile cause, even though I am still a true believer. The Union must not divide. All men must be free. But for every step that we take forward, the Rebs drive us back that very same step. We have chased the enemy across stony ground and found ourselves running back across that very same ground the next hour in full retreat. I am weary. It is harvest time in Ohio. How I long for home.

Josh Franklin’s Far Out Family Blog Written by Steven Coburn-Griffis Illustrated by Isaac Schumacher Chapter Nine: Week Nine Because of this blog, I have spent a lot of time learning about America’s Civil War. I think that, at first, the leaders of the Union Army, including President Lincoln, believed that they’d win the war pretty quickly. I mean, the North had more men, more money, more guns and more resources. I think they thought they’d just roll on down and BANG. That didn’t happen. But not only did that not happen, they started to realize that this was going to take a really long time to hash out. Here’s the truth, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls: War is expensive, and I mean EXPENSIVE. You ever wonder where paper money came from, at least the paper money we use in the good old U.S. of A.? The Civil War, that’s where. See, it used to be that money was metal: gold and silver and copper. But there’s only so much gold and silver to go around. So this guy, Salmon P. Chase, suggested, “Hey. Why don’t we use paper? We’ve got lots of that.” Okay, so he wasn’t just some guy. He was, as a matter of fact, the Secretary of the Treasury, appointed to the position by the President himself. And he never said anything even remotely like what I just said. But that was the gist of it. And that’s what they did. Funny thing, though. The first American one dollar bills didn’t have a picture of George Washington on them, like they do now. Nope. The guy who’s grinning puss looked out at you from your shiny new paper dollar was none other than Salmon P. Chase. Seems he wanted to be president. And
thing you have. For example, you may find a container that will hold all of your Barbie dolls or Hot Wheel toys. That way, everything you need will be together when you want to play with them. For school papers, you could decorate a large cereal box and store your favorite papers in there. Sometimes though, especially after Christmas or as the school year progresses, you may run out of places for your things. That is when you have to do my next step.
what better way to get people to think kindly of you than to see your face on the money they use to pay bills and buy food. Never happened, though. He was an Ohio governor, Secretary of the Treasury and Chief Justice of the United States, but never president. Enough about Salmon P. Chase. Here’s Uncle Ethan. October 3, 1864 Wilf, It has been nearly two years since I left our home. I am tired of war, of fighting, of bloodshed and killing. I am sick to my very soul with it. I have watched my fellows die, men who have fought beside me and, betimes, saved my very life. I have seen fields, fields not so very different from our own, spoiled with a veritable ocean of blood and I wonder what possible good could ever come from such ground, what wholesome seed could ever take root? I have seen my enemy and, though in the heat of battle wanted nothing more than their life’s blood spilled at my feet, know that they are very much the same as me. I have heard it said that this war pits kin against kindred and I know with all of my heart that it is true. Why, some of those soldiers at whom I aim my rifle are children younger even than I when I enlisted. I am so very much older now. Perhaps not in years, but in living. I have come to fear that this war is
Another Idea for your Favorite School Papers When you are in school, you get to make lots of neat artwork. I know that I have some very special pieces from my kids. Sometimes though, there are just too many to display at one time. Something neat that I did with some of my kids’ artwork was to turn them into placemats. I glued their artwork onto some special paper, sized about 12” x 18”. You could decorate a paper grocery bag for the background or even use recycled wrapping paper. Then I used some contact paper to cover it so it could be wiped off after dinner. I have a special collection of these placemats that we use at Christmas. These placemats would make great gifts for Grandmas and Grandpas and other special people, too!

VOCABULARY WORDS Secretary of the Treasury Chief Justice betimes veritable kin kindred futile weary CHAPTER NINE: QUESTIONS & ACTIVITIES Americans, even President Lincoln, didn’t think the Civil War would last long. The United States is currently involved in two wars. Many people thought that neither would last very long. Check your local newspaper for news about each war. What do the articles say about the current situation in each region? Why do you think the conflicts are still happening? Josh simplified Chase’s reasons for suggesting paper currency. Research more about Samuel Chase. Chase did have some objections to paper bills. Why did he still suggest that Congress approve using the money? Search today’s newspaper for any news about U.S. money. What did you find? Where did you find it?

ANALYSIS
Afghanistan is looking more and more like Iraq WASHINGTON (AP) — Afghanistan is not Iraq, U.S. officials have been fond of saying from the first days of Barack Obama’s presidency. The difference, they said, was that one war Obama inherited, in Afghanistan, was worth fighting while the other, in Iraq, was best ended as quickly as possible. Now, Afghanistan has turned into Iraq: an inconclusive slog in which the United States cannot always tell enemy from friend. And like Iraq, Obama has concluded that Afghanistan is best put to rest. Just as he patterned his troop “surge” in Afghanistan on a successful military strategy in Iraq, now Obama is patterning his withdrawal from Afghanistan on the Iraq template as well. Obama and British Prime Minster David Cameron said Wednesday that NATO forces would hand over the lead combat role to Afghanistan forces next year as the U.S. and its allies aim to get out by the end of 2014. It’s a gradual step away from the front lines, while pushing indigenous forces to take greater and greater responsibility. It’s also a gradual lowering of expectations for a country whose internal divisions and customs bewildered the Americans sent to help and where the U.S. national security goals were often poorly understood. “Why is it that poll numbers indicate people are interested in ending the war in Afghanistan?” a contemplative Obama asked during a Rose Garden news conference Wednesday. “It’s because we’ve been there for 10 years, and people get weary.” Obama and Cameron stressed that they will not walk out on Afghanistan, whose uneven military is not up to the task of defending the entire country. But Obama in particular seemed keen to show he does not have a tin ear. Afghanistan is Obama’s war the one he willingly expanded and redefined as a frontal assault on al-Qaida but like Iraq for former President George W. Bush, the Afghanistan war is becoming political baggage. Americans have little enthusiasm for the Afghanistan mission in this election year, and a string of violent or distasteful incidents involving U.S. forces have refocused national attention on whether the war is achieving its goals. The resentment and contempt each side feels for the other appears to have reached some breaking point in Afghanistan, with a rising number of killings of American troops by Afghan recruits this year. The relationship was far from perfect in Iraq, but fratricide was rare by comparison. Six in 10 Americans see the war as not worth its costs, according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll released Sunday but conducted before news emerged of a massacre of Afghan civilians, apparently by a U.S. soldier. Just 35 percent said the war has been worthwhile. More Americans have opposed the war than supported it for nearly two years, but the implications are stark eight months before the presidential election. Opposition to the war is bipartisan, and for the first time the PostABC poll showed more Republicans “strongly” see the war as not worth fighting than say the opposite. “When I came into office there has been drift in the Afghanistan strategy, in part because we had spent a lot of time focusing on Iraq instead,” Obama said, a bit defensively. “Over the last three years we have refocused attention on getting Afghanistan right. Would my preference had been that we started some of that earlier? Absolutely. But that’s not the cards that were dealt.” He claimed his strategy has brought the war around the corner. He was careful not to predict victory, or use any of the traditional language of war. “We’re making progress, and I believe that we’re going to be able to make or achieve our objectives in 2014,” he said.
EDITORIAL ROUNDUP China Daily, Beijing, on Premier Wen’s report on government work: Premier Wen Jiabao’s report on government work to deputies of the national legislature and members of the political advisory body has struck a chord in and out of Beijing’s Great Hall of the People because of its no-nonsense approach. But his modest review of past achievements, some of which are more than praiseworthy on such an occasion, displays the govern-
ment’s awareness of the difficulty of sustaining them. Given Wen’s famous remark that “confidence is more precious than gold” and people’s rising expectations, it is no surprise that his report should seek to inspire confidence in attaining quality growth. The continuously widening coverage of basic medical insurance and social security services, as well as the substantially raised national poverty line, have encouraged higher hopes about what the govern-
ment has to offer. That the national target of gross domestic product growth for 2012 is set at 7.5 percent, the lowest since 2005, is the result of external and internal pressures. But this is in line with the national leadership’s preference for quality growth. And a slowdown would provide the opportunity for addressing the structural contradictions as well as the imbalance, disharmony and unsustainability.

DOONESBURY
Worming your way out of a dinner invitation You may want to think carefully before accepting any dinner invitations at our house in the near future. We were in Florida, see? The two of us on a short excursion to try to remember what the sun looks like. Just a little house on a teeming lake, access to a boat, a loaf of bread, a jug of wine, and a thousand fish. The man who promised to love, honor, and bait my hook thought he had died and gone to fishing heaven. Spring training was in the offing and his daily quandary was whether to fish first and then watch baseball or watch baseball and then fish. I only hope he doesn’t have to answer for all this largesse in his next incarnation. Minnows are sold by the pound in Florida and those, thankfully, were stowed in a bucket hanging off the dock. But as anyone worth his depth finder will tell you, a fisherman is only as good as the variety of his bait. So we had worms. Not literally, of course, although the neighborhood sushi bar was a little suspect. Steve bought cartons of worms to offer the fish something in the order of a buffet. I would have hoped it
Marla Boone Troy Daily News Columnist wasn’t so, but apparently worms have to be stored somewhere cool and the only acceptably cool enough place in Florida to which we had access was our refrigerator. Fast forward to the next Sunday. Guests are coming for the day. Steve has decided to make his world-famous meat loaf. I have decided to help by contributing my world-famous stay-the-heck-out-ofthe-cook’s-way. In the rare instance, we do plan ahead. The meat was thawing nicely in the fridge, the potatoes were ready to be baked, Steve was steeling himself to the task with some major-league coffee, and I was still out of the way. The first step to making the meat loaf was to have the meat
stop loafing and become something resembling dinner. Steve opened the fridge and was struck silent. Silence is a rare enough occurrence in our house so as to focus my attention. Then the uncommon stillness was broken by a very bad word. There was just a little more meat in our refrigerator than we had bargained for. Some of the worms, perhaps sensing in their one-celled brains their fate as crappie dinner, had made a break for it. This wasn’t going to end well for someone. What, after all, do refrigerators do besides refrigerate? That’s right. They dehydrate as well. And what, after all, is an earthworm besides about ninety per cent water? So, after the courageous scaling of the side of the carton and the slithering down the side, the potential escapees entered the big wide dark dry world of Kenmore and promptly shriveled into worm popsicles. Around our house, very little stands in the way of dinner. A couple of measly dead worms didn’t even come close to being the disaster necessary to put us off our
feed. Steve scooped the recently departed up and dumped them, with neither ceremony nor further comment, into the kitchen trash can where they lay. Right on top. In full view. I don’t know if our reputation had preceded us or if our guests were preternaturally cautious. It simply cannot be a coincidence that the two couples came into the house and immediately looked at the contents of the wastebasket whereupon they discovered the early remains of several earthworms. Right on top. In full view. Very astutely of us, we choose friends who are as hard to gross out as we are. Worm, schworm. The presence of formerly live bait wasn’t about to spoil a nice afternoon of meat loaf eating and card playing. There seemed to be more of the latter than there was of the former leading to a bummer crop of leftovers for lunch the next day, an invitation to which was universally declined. Wimps.

Larned wins $2,500 college scholarship
COLUMBUS (AP) — A state education overhaul aimed at better preparing Ohio students for college will change the way children and schools are evaluated and the curriculum they use. Students should be getting “a diploma worth owning,” but the existing system shortchanges children by asking them to meet minimum standards that don’t necessarily make them college-ready, state Superintendent Stan Heffner said. Gov. John Kasich and other state leaders want to change that through an overhaul that’s under way and is expected to be finished in several years, and they recognize it could be a bumpy transition, The Columbus Dispatch reported Sunday. “We live in a culture where every kid gets a trophy regardless of whether they kick it into the goal or not,” Kasich said. “And then the kid

goes out and gets a job, and then he goes home and says, ‘Mom, I thought I was an A, and the supervisor keeps yelling at me and says I’m not any good.’ There (needs to be) a balance.” Ohio already adopted tougher standards on what students should learn, embracing the use of more nonfiction materials and making it
likely students will learn certain concepts in-depth in one year and build on those in later years. The state also is part of a group of states creating new computer-based exams to replace standardized testing that measures how much students have learned. Next up, Ohio is changing how it grades schools on their performance. Many districts are expected to get lower ratings under the evaluation system slated to start next school year, Heffner said. It will grade schools and districts using a calculation based on factors such as graduation rates, students’ scores on state tests and the performance of certain categories of students, including those with disabilities and those considered economically disadvantaged. “Parents won’t see as many A’s,” Heffner said. “This is a far more-rigorous system.”

After 50, exercise has major benefits BY JEFF STRICKLER Minneapolis Star Tribune Dick Anderson reached the pinnacle of his rockclimbing endeavors — literally as well as figuratively — 10 years ago when, after 3-1/2 exhausting days of clinging to the side of a sheer cliff, he reached the top of El Capitan, a majestic granite monolith in Yosemite Park that rises nearly three-fourths of a mile straight up. Shortly after finishing that climb, Anderson, then 52, dislocated his right shoulder. Two years later, while trying to come back from surgery on that shoulder, he blew out the left one. His climbing days were over, and the prospect of being relegated to an overstuffed chair in front of a TV pained him as much as his injured shoulders. “I found that I needed to be active to feel complete as a person,� said Anderson, of Minneapolis. But he also found that being active on the other side of 50 often involves embracing new approaches and techniques. And if you’re a lifelong athlete, it can mean coming to grips with the fact that you’re not going to be able to run as fast, hit a golf ball as far or climb rock walls the way you once did. Maintaining fitness as we age takes extra diligence, including more emphasis on stretching, monitoring hydration, focusing on form and strengthening core muscles. Yes, these are the same things we were told to do in our 20s and 30s, but now the trainers really mean it. A 50-year-old body isn’t nearly as forgiving about us ignoring these things as a 20-something body. Anderson decided to appreciate what he still could do rather than mourn the loss of what he couldn’t. “I’m so thrilled to be able to do what I’m doing at
TIPS FOR AGING ATHLETES BY JEFF STRICKLER Minneapolis Star Tribune

Jill Lile, 54, was a dancer until she injured her toes. Dick Anderson (center), 62, was an avid rock climber until he blew out both shoulders. Rick Goullaud, 67, remains an avid triathlete after coming back from a broken foot. my age that I just let (the disappointment) go,� he said. “For some reason, my shoulders are OK with the motion for cross-country skiing and kayaking, so I do a lot of that.� Keeping physically fit as we age isn’t a pipe dream. A study conducted at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and published in January in the professional journal Physician and Sportsmedicine found that loss of muscle mass isn’t an inevitable byproduct of aging. “This study contradicts the common observation that muscle mass and strength decline as a function of aging alone,� it says, putting the blame on inactivity. But just keeping active isn’t enough, either, experts say. The key is keeping active in ways that help your body handle the activity. Mia Bremer, fitness manager at the retirement community Friendship Village of Bloomington, Minn., has seen this from both perspectives. “We have clients in their 70s who wouldn’t be having (physical) problems now� if
they had done what they were supposed to when they were in their 50s, she said. And at the same time, “We have clients in their 80s who did it right and are in excellent shape.� Jill Lile was teaching dance at Creighton University in Omaha, Neb., when she was sidelined by a toe injury that often afflicts ballet dancers. She not only was forced to redefine her dancing — “I started perfecting my flat-foot technique,� she said — but she segued into a new career as a chiropractor. “I could see the writing on the wall� as far as dancing, said Lile, 54. “I wanted to keep exercising because I like the way I feel when I exercise. I like the benefits of exercising, and I wasn’t ready to pack it up. I realized that there was so much else available. There’s yoga and Pilates and Zumba.� There’s even still dance, including teaching classes at Minnesota Dance Theatre. It’s just not at the same intensity. “After I got surgery on my foot, I tried to work with it the best I could,� she said. “I can do ballet
flat-footed. I just can’t do it all the way. I’ve modified it as best I could. I can still get out and move to the music.� Lile combines her injury experience with her technical knowledge as a chiropractor, although not all of her clients at the Hippocrates Center for Holistic Healing in Minneapolis like what she has to tell them. “A lot of runners are like dancers — when they get hurt, you can’t get them to stop,� she said. “You have to know when to stay down. A lot of injuries become a test of patience.� Returning to action too soon after an injury has become so common that there’s even a term for it now, said Mark Richards, vice president of program development for the Edina, Minn.-based Welcyon Fitness After 50 clubs. “It’s called ‘incomplete rehabilitation syndrome,’ � he said. If you injure, say, a knee, use the other knee to establish “a baseline physiological status,� he said, and don’t return to action until the injured joint has the same strength and range of motion as the
Ways for aging athletes to keep the spring in their step: • Keep things in balance. Balance is a learned skill, “although we tend to forget that,â€? said Mia Bremer, fitness manager at the retirement community Friendship Village of Bloomington, Minn. “As toddlers, we had to learn how to balance, and as we get older, we need to continue to train ourselves.â€? Improper balance can lead to pain in knees, hips and backs. She recommends strengthening the body’s core muscles — basically, the stomach and lower-back muscles — as well as doing balancing exercises, which can start with something as simple as standing on one foot. • Focus on form. Runners often wax poetic about “zoning outâ€? as they pad along their familiar routes, but don’t let inattention destroy your bliss. “Pay attention to the mechanics as you execute movement,â€? said Sarah Hankel, a personal trainer at the Lifetime Fitness club in St. Louis Park, Minn. If you’ve developed bad habits, fixing them requires focus. “It takes 3,000 reps for a muscle to acclimate to a new movement pattern,â€? she said. • Remember the basics. The importance of keeping hydrated increases with age. “Ligaments and tendons need the fluid,â€? said Mark Richards, vice president of program development for the Edina, Minn.-based Welcyon Fitness After 50 clubs. The experts also urge paying heightened attention to nutrition and sleep patterns. • Follow the rules. We’ve all heard the guidelines about starting gradually so our muscles can warm up and then allowing for a cool-down period at the end of an exercise session. Aging bodies need those allowances more than ever. Time is often the villain in this scenario, Hankel said. “If we only have 45 minutes (to work out), there’s an urge to go fast right away to make the most of the time. Be patient.â€? • Stretch it out. Tight muscles and tendons can pull the body out of alignment. “As we get older, the harder it is on the body if we don’t stretch,â€? Bremer said. healthy one. Otherwise, “you’re an injury waiting to happen,â€? he warned. Rick Goullaud, 67, knows how hard it can be to abstain. When he broke his foot in October, the pain was worsened by the disappointment of it happening the weekend before he was going to compete in a triathlon for which he’d spent months training. “It was hard to stop training when you’d been looking forward to something that long,â€? said Goullaud, of Plymouth, Minn. “But I’m back at it now. I train at least five days a week, sometimes seven.â€?
The triathlon’s format forces him to cross-train, rotating among biking, swimming and running. Experts say that mixing activities is a key to exercising as we age. One of the main causes of repetitive stress injuries — as the name indicates — is repetition. “Keep your body guessing,� said Sarah Hankel, a personal trainer at the Lifetime Fitness club in St. Louis Park, Minn. “Stop running every day and bike some days. Or swim. Take yoga. There are lots of alternatives. Injuries tend to occur when monotony sets in.�

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Make one last attempt to mend the family rift Dear Annie: Four years ago, my adult son was divorced and then lost his job. He tried selling his house, but couldn't find a buyer. At the same time, my sister's daughter, also recently divorced, needed a larger house and a better school system for her three teenage children. My sister and I came up with what we thought was a win-win situation: My niece would take over my son's house payments. We hoped she could obtain a mortgage within two years and purchase the house for the balance. My son would make no profit. The only condition was that she maintain the place. After two years, my son was still unemployed, and my niece was unable to qualify for a mortgage. So we let the arrangement continue. We recently learned that my niece moved out without any notification or explanation. We were shocked when we saw that the house had been completely destroyed. We had the property evaluated and were told it would take $25,000 to get it back into saleable condition. With the help of relatives and contractors and more than 500 hours of free labor, the house is now in decent shape. My husband and I (both retired) invested $15,000. I have sent emails and letters to my sister and niece, with absolutely no response. If they won't help repay the money, at least they could offer an explanation and an apology. I finally had a lawyer contact my niece about compensation. She has a decent income and was more than capable of taking care of the house. Our next decision is whether to file a lawsuit. I have tried to restore the family relationship, but apparently, they are not interested. What do I do? — Can't Afford This Dilemma Dear Dilemma: It's disappointing that your niece cannot face up to her responsibility, and that her mother is willing to lose the relationship and be sued in order to allow her daughter to hide. We doubt that forgiving a $15,000 debt will restore your family ties. You will simply be out the money. Please make one last attempt to resolve this before going to court. Can you see your sister in person? Ask to meet at a neutral place to discuss this before it gets completely out of hand. We hope she will agree so the two of you can express your feelings, including how sad you are, and find out whether anything can be done. An apology would go a long way. Dear Annie: Would you please ask your readers to list a charity or medical organization in lieu of flowers in death notices? Too many people send flowers when there is a decline in giving to medical research. At a recent visitation, there were two rooms full of flowers. Within a few hours, flowers die. Please help raise awareness that there are other significant ways to remember the deceased. — Friend of a Young Lung Cancer Victim Dear Friend: We are all in favor of donations to charity and medical research, and we hope family members who place death notices in the newspapers and online will keep this in mind as a way of honoring the deceased. It means a great deal to these organizations to have the financial support. Dear Annie: Thank you for printing the letter from "Saskatoon," who asked whether it was rude to leave the TV on when one has company. We have the same situation with a family member who leaves the TV on all day. Because of this, we have shortened our time with them. Even when we have been invited to stay only for a couple of days, this family member prefers to sit in front of the idiot box. The TV shouldn't be one's best friend to the exclusion of speaking to guests in your home -- including family. — Not Visiting So Much Anymore Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE
Whats the best way to ‘de-gunk’ the dispenser? Dear Heloise: Any hints for keeping the liquid fabric softener dispenser in my washer clean and free of buildup? — Briana, via email That dispenser can get pretty yucky! Here is a really easy hint: Pour some hot water into it and let sit. Once the gunk has loosened, use a bottle brush or other small brush to scrub, then flush with warm tap water. To keep the dispenser clean, partially fill it with water before you put in the fabric softener, or dilute the softener with water. And occasionally pour some hot water into the dispenser and scrub. — Heloise
Hints from Heloise Columnist FAST FACTS Dear Readers: Hints for “green” grocery shopping: • Buy products with less packaging. • Bring reusable shopping bags. • Do all your shopping at one location. • Don’t buy more than you
can use before the product goes bad (think fruits and vegetables). • Stock up on items so you go less often. — Heloise CURLING IRON Dear Readers: Do you have a buildup of hair spray stuck to your curling iron? It is easy to clean off. Take an old washcloth or terry towel and pour a little rubbing alcohol on it. Rub the towel over an unplugged cold iron to remove the residue. Wipe down with a damp cloth to remove any excess alcohol before using. Good as new! — Heloise A CLEANER FOR ALL Dear Heloise: The glass-
stovetop cleaner is a multipurpose cleaner for me. I know it is pricey, but a couple of drops go a long way. It is great for cleaning cloudy glasses instantly. Just rub a tiny amount on the glass, and it gets the glass sparkling again. Also, I use it on any glass bakeware to keep that baked-on gunk from building up. Spread the cleaner on and let it sit until the buildup is loosened. — Nancy, via email Nancy, the glass-stovetop cleaner is not recommended for objects that come in contact with food. However, for glass fireplace or shower doors, it is OK. Thanks for writing! — Heloise

HOROSCOPE Monday, March 19, 2012 You might get an opportunity in the year ahead to become closely involved with someone whose endeavors have always been successful. Don’t let an opportunity like this one slip past you; they don’t happen that often. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — You could get the opening you’ve been looking for to cash in a long-overdue debt. It won’t necessarily be something material — it could easily be a mere favor. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Don’t hesitate to make a concession to a close friend — even if it’s unwarranted — if doing so means the difference between harmony and conflict. Even small things can mean a great deal. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Conditions are conducive for doing something out of the ordinary where your work or career is concerned. However, it might require a bit of boldness to pull off. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — It would be foolish to put off giving away something that another dearly wants and that is of little value to you. Selfishness won’t help you get ahead in this instance. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Although there may only be a nominal amount of profit involved with a commercial matter, that’s not its only benefit. You might gain some impressive bragging rights as well. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Seriously consider a suggestion offered by an old friend who knows your affairs quite well. His or her advice might not make an impact, but it will be sensible and practical. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Opportunities that present themselves might start out a bit thin at the waist, but will eventually grow in girth. With time, your financial position will expand. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Dame Fortune is likely to smile on you in an arrangement where she has always frowned on others. Make the most of what you have going while she is in your corner. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — You should deal privately with a family matter that should be kept confidential. You’ll have better luck figuring things out without the input of the peanut gallery. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — When stuck on an assignment that has you baffled, don’t hesitate to request advice from someone who has had a lot of experience in the area that is confounding you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Compensation is on its way for something you have earned by your own diligence. The rewards you receive will be in proportion to the effort you expended. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — When you are presenting something to others that is very important, keep your comments purposeful but as brief as possible. It’ll make your listeners more attentive and receptive. COPYRIGHT 2012 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Monday, March 19, the 79th day of 2012. There are 287 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On March 19, 1962, Bob Dylan’s first album, eponymously titled “Bob Dylan,” was released by Columbia Records. (Of the 13 songs recorded for the album, two were Dylan originals: “Talkin’ New York” and “Song to Woody,” a tribute to Woody Guthrie.) On this date: • In 1687, French explorer Rene-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle the first European to navigate

Back at the track Sunday, Keselowski again made his way to Victory Lane. And he again began to think about a Sprint Cup title.

Bobcats beat South Florida, headed to Sweet 16 NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Walter Offutt and Ohio are moving on in the NCAA tournament. Step aside, VCU. Enjoy your memories, Butler. The Bobcats are well on their way to becoming the mid-major darlings of this March Madness. Offutt scored 21 points, D.J. Cooper had 19 and No. 13 seed Ohio beat South Florida 62-56 on Sunday night to advance to the Midwest Regional semifi-
nals. The Bobcats (29-7), who opened the tournament with an upset against fourth-seeded Michigan, will play No. 1 seed North Carolina in St. Louis on Friday in their first trip to the round of 16 since they lost to the Wolverines in the regional finals in 1964. Ohio trailed by two when Offutt swished a 3-pointer, launching a 10-0 run for the Bobcats. A pair of free throws by
Cooper made it 54-46 with 3:28 left. The Bobcats had a 59-53 lead when Toarlyn Fitzpatrick connected for South Florida’s first 3-pointer of the half. But Cooper went 3 for 4 from the line while the Bulls missed three shots in the final 36 seconds. Victor Rudd Jr. and Anthony Collins scored 13 points apiece and Augustus Gilchrist had 12 for the Bulls (22-14), who were

PALM HARBOR, Fla. (AP) — Luke Donald returned to No. 1 in the world the same way he got there the first time. Donald rallied from a threeshot deficit Sunday at the Transitions with a 5-under 66, then won a four-man playoff on the first extra hole with a shot out of the rough to 6 feet and a birdie putt that curled in the left side of the cup. He gave a big uppercut with his right fist to celebrate the end of a wild day at Innisbrook — and a devastating finish for Ernie Els. Els was among eight players who were tied for the lead at some point in the final round, and he had a one-shot lead going into the closing stretch known as the “Snake Pit” at the Copperhead course. The Big Easy missed a 4-foot birdie putt on the 16th, and then badly missed a 4-foot par putt on the 18th hole that caused him to miss the playoff by one shot. He likely has to win in the next two weeks to avoid missing the Masters for the first time since 1993. He first reached No. 1 in the world by winning a playoff over Lee Westwood at Wentworth last May. This required more work as Donald had to beat Jim Furyk, Robert Garrigus and Bae SangMoon in sudden death. Furyk, who closed with a 69, had an awkward lie just short of the bunker and left himself a 40foot putt. Bae (68) missed his birdie attempt from 18 feet. Garrigus, who birdied the last two holes in regulation for a 64, pounded his tee shot and hit wedge into 7 feet, but he pulled his birdie putt. That set the stage for Donald, who had hit a superb shot from the rough that barely cleared the bunker.

BOWLING GREEN, Ohio (AP) — For about a week, Florida guard Jordan Jones listened to the chatter about how Ohio State felt insulted by the selection committee. It was as if the Gators who were playing the Buckeyes in the first round were an afterthought. “All week long we heard Ohio State this, Ohio State that, their guards average this, their post players do that,” Jones said. “I know Ohio State talked a lot about being disrespected, but we
felt disrespected, too. I don’t think anyone knew how good our defense was.” Quick on the perimeter and relentless on the boards, the ninth-seeded Gators were a step ahead of Ohio State from the very start Sunday, beating the eighth-seeded Buckeyes 70-65 in the Des Moines Regional. Florida scored the game’s first nine points and led the entire way. Jennifer George had 16 points and six rebounds and Lanita
Bartley added 15 points to lead Florida to a win in front of a crowd packed with fans of the instate Buckeyes. Tayler Hill scored 23 points for Ohio State, including two late baskets to pull the Buckeyes (257) within two. Florida (20-12) patiently worked the ball inside to George, who went up strong to her left and scored with 45 seconds to play. Emilee Harmon missed at the other end for the Buckeyes.

Prahalis went scoreless in the second half and finished with nine points. On Saturday, Jones said confidently that Ohio State might not see too many teams in the Big Ten that defend like the Gators. Whether that’s true or not, the Buckeyes looked caught off guard. Florida forced turnovers early and finished with 20 offensive rebounds, winning despite shooting only 35 percent from the

NCAA ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 playing in their third game in five days with a travel day in between. South Florida beat California on Wednesday and Temple on Friday night in the second round. If fatigue was a concern for South Florida, it didn’t show it. The Bulls relied on their stingy defense to limit Ohio to just 30.4 percent shooting in the first half. But while the Bulls managed to keep the Bobcats away from the rim, they couldn’t stop them at the perimeter. Half of Ohio’s second-half buckets were 3s, and the Bobcats finished 9 for 18 from long range. Two of their five treys in the second half came after either a flagrant or technical foul. Rudd was called for the flagrant, and Offutt hit both of his free throws and a 3-pointer that tied it at 31 with 15:52 to play. Jawanza Poland was given the technical after hanging on the rim following a dunk. Nick Kellogg sank both free throws and a 3-pointer that again tied the game, this time at 42 with 9:23 to play. Just over 2 minutes later, the Bobcats put together with the 10-0 run that gave them the lead and control, and the Bulls missed out on a shot at being the only team from the first four games to
the floor in the final minute. Kwamain Mitchell scored 13 and Brian Conklin 11 for Saint Louis, back in the tournament for the first time since 2000. No. 7 Florida 84, No. 15 Norfolk State 50

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Xavier is making a habit of reaching the round of 16. Senior center Kenny Frease scored a careerhigh 25 points to go with 12 rebounds and the Musketeers knocked off upset-minded Lehigh 7058 Sunday night to advance to the regional semifinals of the NCAA tournament for the fourth time in five years. Lehigh, which stunned No. 2 seed Duke on Friday, was looking to become the first 15 seed to make it to
the tournament’s second weekend. But the 7-foot Frease stood in the way. He dominated in the paint, hitting 11 of 13 shots, and Tu Holloway was his normal productive self with 21 points as 10th-seeded Xavier (2212) moved on to play No. 3 seed Baylor on Friday in the South Regional at Atlanta.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — John Henson proved he’s healthy enough to help North Carolina’s latest push for the Final Four. It remains to be seen if Kendall Marshall will be able to help the Tar Heels. Henson had 13 points, 10 rebounds and four blocks in his return from a wrist injury, but Marshall broke a bone in his right wrist during the second half of North Carolina’s third-round victory over Creighton. Coach Roy Williams confirmed the injury after the game, and said he would talk to Marshall and his parents about his
status Sunday night. The point guard still finished with 18 points and 11 assists. North Carolina got off to a fast start and built a 15-point lead in the first half, then kept control and pushed the margin to 19 after the break on the way to its second straight double-digit victory in the Midwest Regional. The top-seeded Tar Heels (315) reached the round of 16 for a record 25th time.

Scott Rolen hit a threerun opposite field home run. The home run was encouraging for Cincinnati. Rolen’s left shoulder is healthy after surgery.

after hitting 20 in 2010. Mike Leake allowed a run on two hits and a walk in four innings, his longest outing of the spring. Rolen hit his first home run of the spring off Joe Patterson. Arizona scored seven runs off Clay Zavada and Sam LeCure in the fifth inning. Royals 6, Indians 4 SURPRISE, Ariz. — Eric Hosmer went 3 for 3 with a two-run homer as the Kansas City Royals beat the Cleveland Indians 6-4 Sunday, a win dampened by an elbow injury to closer Joakim Soria. Soria, a two-time AL All-Star, left in the fifth inning with soreness in his
right elbow after retiring only one of the five batters he faced and yielding three runs. Soria, who missed the 2003 season after having Tommy John surgery, has an 18.90 ERA in three appearances, allowing seven runs on 10 hits, a walk and a hit batter in 3 1-3 innings. Indians starter Josh Tomlin took the loss, giving up six runs on 10 hits in four innings. In his past three starts, Tomlin has allowed 24 hits and 17 runs in 10 innings. Lorenzo Cain went 2 for 2, raising his spring average to .517 and scored two runs for Kansas City. Asdrubal Cabrera drove in a pair runs for the Indians with a single in the fifth inning.
tion. Then Keselowski had to decide which lane to choose for the final restart, and his decision to take the outside may have sealed the win. “I knew as long as I could beat him on the first lap, I knew I had a good enough car and I’m a good enough driver to win,” Keselowski said. “Matt didn’t make it easy. That’s his job, to not make it easy on me. He raced me hard; I raced him hard, rubbed a little bit. That’s good racing.” Kenseth settled for second in his Roush Fenway Racing Ford. “He should have started on the bottom, for me; unfortunately he didn’t,” said Kenseth, who also denied jumping the earlier restart. “I knew it was close, but here is the thing: When you get to the second line, they say that the race is on. I knew we took off a little early. … I am waiting for him. … I didn’t even floor it until we got to the start-finish line. I don’t know if he was trying to let me beat him on purpose or what was going on.” Keselowski said judging the restarts was “too subjective” and that a no-call by NASCAR “was the right call.” The three Toyotas from Michael Waltrip Racing capped an impressive day by rounding out the top five
a feat that marked a strong return to racing for Brian Vickers. Martin Truex Jr. led the MWR contingent with a third-place finish and was followed by Bowyer and Vickers, who ran his first race of the season. Out of work since Red Bull Racing closed at the end of last season, Vickers was tabbed last week to run six of the races that MWR driver Mark Martin sits out this season. He had a strong debut race, leading a career-high 125 laps. In 14 previous races at Bristol, Vickers had led only one lap, never finished in the top 10 and ended on the lead lap only four times. “When it’s your only one, you have to make it count,” Vickers said. “This was pretty good and it felt really good when we were out there leading. It would have been awesome to hold onto that, but it’s the first time back so I can’t complain about that. What an organization.” Truex said the showing, and Vickers’ ability to step into an MWR car and post a top-five finish after a layoff, show the strides the organization has made. “Obviously it says a lot about the cars,” Truex said. “I think everybody knows that Brian is a good driver. He’s more than capable. I knew we had great race cars.”

NASCAR ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 driver not otherwise eligible. Keselowski’s win at Bristol last August was his third of the season and gave him the provisional that allowed him to race for the title. Now, just a month into the season, he’s focused on collecting victories. “One win is good; two wins is really good,” Keselowski said. “We need to keep winning races to lock ourselves in the Chase, but heck, I’d rather just go into the Chase in the top spot. If we run like we have the last few weeks, we’ve got as good a shot as anybody else.” Keselowski narrowly escaped an early seven-car accident, worked his way toward the front, then settled in for a tight battle with Kenseth over the final third of the race. Kenseth beat Keselowski on one of their restarts fans complained instantly on Twitter that Kenseth had jumped the start and Keselowski had to run him back down to reclaim the lead. But a late caution when Tony Stewart hit the wall put Keselowski’s win in jeopardy. “I’ve got no clue what to do here,” he radioed crew chief Paul Wolfe, who decided to leave Keselowski on the track and not bring him in to the pits under cau-

Griner, Baylor roll in opener
Buckeyes ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 field. The Gators will face top-seeded Baylor on Tuesday night. “We would play anyone, anywhere it just didn’t matter,” Jones said. “When we saw our name come up on the screen, we were ecstatic. We could have been playing the Lakers, and we would have been hugging and crying tears of joy.” Ohio State was playing in its 10th consecutive NCAA tournament, but this was the Buckeyes’ worst seed in that span. They made no secret of their displeasure with the draw but did little to show they deserved any better. Seconds after the opening tip, Hill turned the ball over against a Florida trap, leading to an easy layup for Jaterra Bonds. The Gators led 7-0 before the Buckeyes even got a shot

off, and it was 12-2 following a 3-pointer by Jones. “It started with my turnover at the beginning of the game,” Hill said. “We came to play. I mean, we got the cards dealt. We were ready to play. It had nothing to do with our mindset because we had an eight seed.” The Gators led by as many as 13 despite the efforts of Hill and Prahalis. Hill scored 12 points before halftime and Prahalis added nine, but Florida was able to limit their impact. At one point, Bartley turned her back to the rest of the play while shadowing Prahalis on the perimeter, denying the Ohio State star the ball. Prahalis did become the second Division I player to reach 2,000 points and 900 assists for her career, joining Courtney Vandersloot of Gonzaga.

Hawks beat Cavs CLEVELAND (AP) — The Atlanta Hawks limped into their game Sunday dogged by injuries and illness. Joe Johnson made sure everyone felt better. Johnson, despite playing out of position because of Atlanta’s short roster, scored 28 points and the Hawks rolled to a 103-87 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Atlanta had only 10 players available, but took an early lead that it never relinquished. The Hawks shot 55 percent in the first quarter, with Johnson scoring 13 points. “It was very important for us to get off to a good start and sustain it (because of the injuries), especially on the road,” Johnson said. “I just tried to take what the defense gave me.” Alonzo Gee matched a
career high with 20 points to lead Cleveland, which has lost three straight. Rookie Kyrie Irving scored 19 points and had 10 assists for his first career double-double. Forward Vladimir Radmanovic missed the game with a back injury sustained in Friday’s win over Washington. Forward Marvin Williams (hip flexor), shooting guard Willie Green (hamstring) and point guard Jannero Pargo (stomach virus) were also out for the Hawks. Williams’ injury has forced coach Larry Drew to use a starting lineup that features Johnson, a six-time All-Star at shooting guard, playing small forward. Jeff Teague and Kirk Hinrich started in the backcourt to go with power forward Josh Smith, and center Zaza Pachulia.
