Grant deadline nears
Assad’s regime pounds rebels President Bashar Assad’s forces pounded rebel-held areas in central Syria on Friday, killing at least 22 people, activists said.

And now, the Miami Valley Veterans Museum will have a section of the World Trade Center’s steel to preserve a piece of the nation’s history to display and share with its visitors. At a Friday news conference, Stephen Larck, president and founder of the Miami Valley Veterans Museum, unveiled the piece of the World Trade Center’s tower at the Hobart Institute of Welding Technology.

Staff Reports According to sources, the Hobart Ground Power Division soon will relocate from Troy to Florida. Employees were notified of the company’s decision Friday afternoon. Officials with ITW said the Troy location no longer is suited to the needs of the business. Employees who are not relocating to Florida may be offered the opportunity to transfer to other ITW business units in Troy or elsewhere. The move is expected to affect about 60 employees. According to the company’s website, www.hobartgroundpower. com, it became the first domestic manufacturer of aircraft ground power equipment in 1946.

Mayor Michael L. Beamish said the city of Troy “is honored and proud” to house a piece of “the most respected artifact.” “This a very positive occasion for Troy, Ohio, U.S.A.,” Beamish said. The piece of the World Trade Center will be unveiled to the public at Hobart Arena Saturday, May 19, during the city of Troy’s 9/11 Remembrance Day commemorations from May 18-20.

school of welding, Mazzulla said. “The original World Trade Center was built by ironworkers — most who are welders and some of them trained at Hobart Institute,” Mazzulla said. “This is yet another link that connects us to the effort.” Several members of city council and the city’s fire department, including assistant fire chief Matthew Simmons, attended the news conference. “This will help promote the memories of those who were lost on that day,” said Simmons, as he took a closer look at the piece of the tower. “It’s an important piece of history of a day we all will never forget.”
Nike shoe causes frenzy BY JESSICA GRESKO Associated Press Sneaker fanatics who lined up outside stores overnight got their first crack Friday at a new outer-space themed Nike basketball shoe, getting so unruly in some cities that police were called to restore order. In Orlando, Fla., more than 100 deputies in riot gear quelled a crowd awaiting the release of the $220 Foamposite Galaxy. In at a mall in Hyattsville, Md., one person was arrested for disorderly conduct. And in Greenwood, Ind., police said they canceled a Nike release after 400-600 people showed up Thursday night at a mall and were “panicking to get to the front of the line.” The shoe’s release coincides with this weekend’s NBA All-Star Game in Orlando. The shoes, part of a space-themed collection, are a draw for so-called “sneakerheads” who collect signature sports footgear
wouldn’t find them.” Nike issued a statement Friday, saying, “As with the launch of all Nike products, consumer safety and security is of paramount importance. We encourage anyone wishing to purchase our product to do so in a respectful and safe manner.” Nike spokesman Matthew Kneller said the Nike store in New York City immediately sold out Friday. The shoes also were quickly out of stock in Cambridge, Mass., where people began lining up outside a House of Hoops by Foot Locker at 3 p.m. Thursday. The shoes, which are being sold at Nike stores and select Foot Lockers, House of Hoops and Foot Action stores, are part of the Nike’s Foamposite line, which originally debuted in 1998. Their outer space theme is a nod to Florida, the host state for the AllStar game, and the longtime launching pad for the nation’s space program.
and can resell it online at a marked-up price, sometimes for hundreds more than retail. Malls in Florida, New York and Maryland reported bringing in police to manage fans clamoring for the purple and blue shoes, which have star-like flecks of white. Some shoppers lucky enough to get their hands on a pair immediately posted them for sale on eBay at skyrocketing prices: $1,000 and up. Authorities did have some warning the shoe could cause mayhem. Earlier this month, police were called to a mall outside Albany after pushing and shoving broke out during a promotional event for the shoe. Orlando resident Gaby Llanos was in the crowd waiting to buy two pairs of the shoes when the rush started outside Florida Mall. “It was complete havoc,” said Llanos, 23. “People were running and hiding in trees so the police

way is a potential choke point for oil supplies. Onefifth of the world’s oil tankers pass through it every day. On Friday benchmark West Texas Intermediate crude rose by $1.94 to end the week at $109.77 per barrel in New York. Brent crude rose by $1.85 to finish at $125.47 per barrel in London. WTI peaked near $114 a barrel last May, while Brent rose above $126 per barrel. The price of gasoline, which is made from crude oil, has soared with oil prices. The national average jumped by nearly 12
cents per gallon in a week, with state averages above $4 per gallon in California, Alaska and Hawaii. It looks like they’ll keep climbing. Tom Kloza, publisher and chief oil analyst at Oil Price Information Service, said pump prices will add at least another 10 to 15 cents per gallon in coming days to reflect a recent jump in wholesale markets. At $3.65 per gallon, gasoline is still below last year’s high of $3.98 and the record $4.11 set in 2008. Kloza says pump prices are on pace to top both of those in coming months. He thinks gasoline will climb as high as $4.25 per gallon by late April..

Trustees join in feasibility study For the Troy Daily News
MONROE TWP.
Monroe Township Trustees passed a resolution at their Feb. 21 meeting that authorizes the city of Tipp City to submit a Joint Local Government Innovation Fund Grant Application on behalf of Monroe Township and in cooperation with Tipp City Exempted Village School District and the city of Tipp City. The grant application funding would be for a feasibility study that explores a joint refueling facility for the township, the city and the school district, and this type of joint project would promote efficiency while sharing services to benefit each entity. In reports, the trustees noted worthwhile seminars they attended at the 2012 Ohio Township Association Winter Conference in early February on such topics as annexation, watershed districts, handling of foreclosure properties, grant writing, shared liability services and alternative funding for townships. The board also agreed to send the town-

Troy Daily News Editorial Board FRANK BEESON / Group Publisher DAVID FONG / Executive Editor
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” — First Amendment, U.S. Constitution
EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Sacramento (Calif.) Bee on politicking and social welfare groups: Voters have a right to know who tries to sway elections and influence politicians with their money. The Internal Revenue Service and U.S. Senate have an obligation to help bring about that transparency. Eight U.S. senators correctly called on IRS Commissioner Douglas H. Shulman to improve visibility at one of the blind intersections of money and politics. Political operatives establish so-called social welfare organizations governed by Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(4), and use the secrecy afforded to them by the law to carry out electioneering activity. Through inaction, the IRS has permitted these organizations to proliferate. These nonprofits exist on the right and on the left. Anti-tax advocate Grover Norquist operates one that aids Republicans, as does conservative strategist Karl Rove. President Barack Obama’s backers set up one to help his re-election. Nonprofit corporations benefit from tax codes. They are exempt from state and federal taxes. In exchange, the law limits the amount of time they can devote to election campaigns. Inexplicably, the IRS refuses to enforce that law. Identities of contributors who donate money to candidates’ campaigns are publicly disclosed. But donors who contribute to nonprofit corporations know that their identities and the amounts they give will remain confidential. They know they will never be held accountable for their actions. Not surprisingly, many of the most underhanded television ads are funded by these secretive organizations. What’s more, operators of the corporations need not disclose basic information until long after votes have been cast. The amounts raised by these organizations in 2012 won’t become known until as late as October 2013, hardly useful for voters hoping to make informed choices. Just as Shulman should crack down on campaign operations that masquerade as nonprofits, the Senate should approve pending legislation, S. 219, to require that senators file their campaign finance reports online. The Watertown (N.Y.) Daily Times on efforts on the housing market: Two years ago the Obama administration sought to stimulate the housing market by offering certain home-buyers an $8,000 tax credit. Now some banks are coming up with their own incentives to encourage sales with cash offers to eligible sellers rather than buyers. With a huge inventory of foreclosed homes, banks, which have been under investigation for their practices, are trying to avoid further foreclosures through the use of short sales in which properties are sold for less than is owed on the mortgages. Last November, 9 percent of single family home sales were short sales, up from less than 7 percent in November 2010. Upfront cash helps make the deal. JPMorgan Chase will give cash-strapped homeowners up to $35,000 with Wells Fargo offering incentives ranging from $3,000 to $20,000, if homeowners agree to a short sale to avoid lengthy and costly foreclosure, USA Today reported. “When a loan modification isn’t possible a short sale may be a better and faster solution,” JPMorgan spokesman Thomas Kelly said. Bank of America is testing a program in Florida with incentives ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 before deciding whether to go national. In Florida, half of the mortgages in foreclosure are more than two years past due. Not all borrowers are being offered incentives, which are being determined on a case-by-case basis. However, it is another means of clearing the backlog that will be necessary to revive the national housing market.

Parking patrol is out of control To the Editor: Today I brought some business to downtown Troy. I work as an independent interior designer. By some business, I mean that I met my client at Home Comfort Gallery and Design, where, during a threehour period, we selected a loveseat, chair and ottoman. My client spent several hundred dollars on the furniture that we are ordering. The selection process is time consuming. For my efforts, I received not one, but two tickets from the patrol person. I had parked on a side street within the designated lines, but according to the patrol person, more than the required 12 inches from the curb. This was on a side street with a cross walk that juts out, and which has a yellow pole in the street. I managed to avoid hitting that and the SUV parked immediately behind — on the line. But I was ticketed. And I am ticked. If I had been in downtown Troy for lunch and shopping
with friends, I very well could have spent three hours. Or had I been at a beauty shop, I might have been there for more time, especially if I had had a perm or color or even a mani-pedi. I can just see patrons in capes and hair in disarray needing to move their cars or pay the ticket. Small businesses must be contending with a terrible burden. Getting folks to shop in downtown and keeping it from becoming a ghost town is a great achievement in this day. I am surely not the first to complain about the parking patrol. I cannot believe that the money made from parking fines generates enought to merit the salary of the patrol person(s). Has someone not realized the impact that this practice has on the economy of the city? Without parking that is either free or regulated in some other manner, I shall consider taking my business to a different community that is shopper friendly. This situation makes it perfectly clear why people go to shopping malls. No one wants to move his or her car every two hours. Courthouse workers are
parking in front of Home Comfort, making their clients — and me — park somewhere else. If the workers are moving their cars, doesn’t that cut down on productivity? Working in downtown Troy must be a nightmare. OK, I will probably pay the ticket. Under protest. I concede that I did not do my normal job of excellent parallel parking. I was in a hurry to reach the store before my client — the one who spent money in downtown Troy. If my client had been the one to get the ticket, I cannot imagine how she would have felt. I would have felt obligated to pay for her ticket! I suppose studies have been done proving that the fines collected more than cover the salary of the patrol person(s), their benefits, gas, maintenance on the patrol vehicle(s) and uniform(s). I am also happy that given today’s economy, Troy does not need the business of those who are shopping — or trying to work there. By the way, good luck with that.
DOONESBURY
Being pregnant is hard, but being a mother is harder Since giving birth to my daughter just under two years ago, I’ve had the privilege to watch more than a handful of friends go through the whole “making a human being” process in its entirety. I’ve been on the other side of the pregnancy test, with its excruciating two-minute wait of doom; held back pony tails for a friend coping with first-time morning sickness; and created so many diaper cakes I should probably start my own business. I’ve stood inside and outside of waiting rooms, holding hands through less-than-pretty pushes and holding my friends’ beautiful babies for the first time ever. I’ve watched my friends hold their babies for the first time – I’ve watched them become mothers and fathers for the first time. So with 10 months of the whole pregnancy thing already under my belt and now an additional two years of actual parenting on my list, I feel comfortable expressing the statement I’m about to make. As a whole, pregnant women are stupid. It’s like carrying around this little baby depletes our brain of common sense. Don’t get me wrong. It takes a lot of work to house a human being for 3/4ths of the year, so I’m not judging here. In fact — I’ll join in — my name is Amanda and I was a stupid pregnant woman.
Amanda Stewart Troy Daily News Columnist Something happens when you conceive your first child. Without ever having been an actual parent, you already know exactly how to do things, which is basically your culmination of all the things you think your friends are doing wrong. For example, I was never going to feed my child something out of a jar. I mean really, how low can you get? Preservatives? Sulfates? Sugar? Don’t you people realize that could kill your child? I was going to make all my own baby food, from fancy split pea soup purees to vegan Spaghettios, my daughter would only have the best. And you know what happened? Motherhood, that’s what happened. Suddenly, sulfates, sugar and preservatives took a backseat to my needing to do things like shower and breathe and just make it through the day without wanting to pull my hair out. Sure, most of the time Pearyn ate homemade
— Anne Rettig Anne Rettig Designs
baby food, but what about the other times? Those were the days I didn’t account for when I was pregnant. The days when you find three-day-old spit-up in crevices of your body and can’t remember the last time you took a shower, let alone made eggplant parmesan puree. I admit I’m not the most coolheaded or kempt mother. I lose my patience a lot. I spend most days trying to find it again and when I’m not seeking it out, I’m usually staving off depression, confusion and miff. On a good day, I feel like maybe I’m not completely damaging or emotionally scarring my daughter. On a bad day, I wonder if we’ll ever see the light again. I wonder if I’ll ever wake up feeling like myself again. I wonder if I’m truly a good enough person to be the kind of mother Pearyn needs. I’ve tried to explain these feelings to my pregnant friends, but they just don’t get it until their precious bundle-to-be has made its way screaming and pooping into their lives. It’s not that I don’t love being a mother, I do, but I remember feeling completely alienated and alone when I had my daughter and didn’t feel up to par on most days. I remember feeling like there was something wrong with me because I didn’t just want time away from my daughter, I needed it.
When I tell this to my pregnant friends, they give me looks. Looks like I’m crazy, wrong or just a terrible mother for having these feelings. I don’t let it bother me, because I know what’s going through their minds. They don’t have to worry about being depressed or stressed; they’re going to be the better moms. They’ll never lose their temper, they’ll never need to get away from their children and they’ll have all the answers. I don’t let it bother me though. I was going to be an amazing mom — from cute crafts and cool clothes — I was going to be the kind of mom I wanted to be, because clearly, parenting is that easy. You just decide what you want it to be and then do it, right? So moms-to-be, try not to judge us frayed, messy, on-the-verge-ofcrying we’re so stressed out mothers; it’s a lot to handle. And just when you’re about to judge us for giving our kid that 14th juice box of the day and then letting them lose themselves in a game of Angry Birds for three straight hours — remember this. Being pregnant is hard, but being a mother is much, much harder.

Luncheon speaker considers health care reform questions BY BETHANY J. ROYER Ohio Community Media broyer@dailycall.com Exactly a year ago the region was dealing with the ramifications of an ice storm, with some businesses, including hospitals, scrambling after a power loss. It’s a stark comparison to the near balmy, rainy conditions Thursday, as pointed out by Bryan Bucklew, president and CEO of the Greater Dayton Area Hospital Association (GDAHA) who was guest speaker at the Learning Place Center for a health care reform luncheon hosted by the Piqua Chamber of Commerce. GDAHA is a member service organization for 27 hospitals in the 12-county greater Dayton region, where Bucklew oversees staff that focus on the implementation and coordination of health information technology, intensive data analytics on process and quality of care, community leadership on disaster preparedness and local, state, federal and legislative regulatory impacts. As a former vice president of public policy and economic development at the Dayton Area Chamber of Commerce and district director for U.S. Congressman Tony Hall, Bucklew advised those in attendance at this first ever-event on

DEATH OF INTEREST • Dennis Gomes ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — Dennis Gomes, coowner of the Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City and a former mobbusting Las Vegas prosecutor whose exploits were chronicled in the movie “Casino,” died Friday at age 68, his son said. Gomes died of complications from kidney dialysis, said Aaron Gomes, vice president of operations at his father’s casino. The elder Gomes had developed kidney problems and was undergoing dialysis treatments after breaking his back last year. “Whether or not it was related to his back we will never know, but he ended up having major kidney issues and was put on temporary dialysis,” Aaron Gomes told The Associated Press. “He unfortunately passed away of complications due to the dialysis. He was the most unbelievable person I ever had the chance of meeting, and I was even more fortunate that he happened to be my father.” Gomes died at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia. He and New York real estate magnate Morris Bailey bought the struggling Resorts in August 2010 and saved it from shutting down. Gomes had a long career in the casino industry, with management jobs at the Tropicana Casino and Resort, where he famously turned a tic-tac-toe-playing chicken into a top draw; the Trump Taj Mahal Casino and Resort; the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas; and Hilton Nevada’s properties. And his tenure as Nevada’s top casino corruption investigator was chronicled in the 1995 Martin Scorsese film “Casino.”

More Quran protests leave 7 dead KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — The top U.S. commander in Afghanistan called on his troops to resist any urge to avenge the death of two American soldiers killed in riots over the burning of Qurans at a U.S. base, even as renewed protests Friday claimed at least seven lives. The anti-American demonstrations by thousands of Afghans who took to the streets after midday prayers were further evidence that President Barack Obama’s apology has failed to quiet the outrage over what the U.S. says was the inadvertent destruction of the holy books. The killing of the two U.S. soldiers and the civil unrest have further strained Afghanistan’s relations with the United States. Afghan President Hamid Karzai is trying to negotiate a long-term
partnership agreement with the United States to govern the activities of U.S. forces in his country after 2014, when most foreign combat troops will have left or taken on support roles. The violence against coalition troops also comes at a time when many countries contributing to the force are seeking to accelerate their withdrawal from what has become an unpopular and costly war that has dragged on for more than 10 years. In Washington, White House spokesman Josh Earnest acknowledged that the burning of Qurans had created “difficult circumstances.” “It is our view that we will work through these difficult circumstances and remain on track to making progress on our goals,” Earnest said. At least 20 people, including
the two U.S. soldiers, have been killed in four days of violence. Protesters have ignored appeals by Karzai, parliamentarians and some clerics for an end to the violence until an investigation into the incident at Bagram Air Field is concluded in coming days. Afghan officials said seven people were killed around the country Friday by Afghan security forces trying to disperse crowds or responding to gunfire from protesters. One of the dead was part of a crowd trying to storm a Hungarian military base in northern Baghlan province. Six others were killed in western Herat province, including three people who died when a truck full of ammunition exploded after protesters set it ablaze, the governor’s office said.
Anti-American protesters also gathered in several locations around Kabul, including in the city’s east, where a demonstrator, his clothes covered in blood, was carried from the scene as about 200 police tried to push the crowd back. Police sprayed volleys of automatic rifle fire over the heads of protesters chanting “Death to America!” in an effort to prevent them from reaching the defense ministry, located close to the American Embassy. U.S. Gen. John Allen, who commands all U.S. and coalition troops, traveled late Thursday to the American base in the east where an Afghan soldier opened fire on U.S. troops, killing two Americans. “There will be moments like this when you’re searching for the meaning of this loss. There
will be moments like this when your emotions are governed by anger and a desire to strike back,” Allen said in comments NATO released Friday. “Now is not the time for revenge. Now is not the time for vengeance. Now is the time to look deep inside your souls, remember your mission, remember your discipline, remember who you are.” Allen, who was accompanied by Afghan National Army Gen. Sher Mohammed Karimi, told soldiers that “now is how we show the Afghan people that as bad as that act was in Bagram, it was unintentional and American and ISAF soldiers do not stand for this.” ISAF is the acronym for the International Security Assistance Force, the formal name of the U.S.-led international military coalition fighting in Afghanistan.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Look into counseling for stepson Dear Annie: When I married my husband, his son, "D.J." was 6 years old. My children from my first marriage were slightly older. Right from the start, D.J. was a handful. He was violent and often in trouble at school. A year into the marriage, my husband and I had a son together. That same year, D.J. was diagnosed with ADHD and aggressive behavior and was put on medication. D.J. is now 14. In the intervening years, he has killed animals, pushed his younger brother off a patio and tried to suffocate him, and recently hit him in the eye and caused permanent damage to his vision. D.J. went to live with his mother three years ago. She took him off all of his medications. Last summer, I insisted that D.J. stay with my in-laws, who are completely blind to his flaws. I told my husband he could visit D.J. as often as he wanted, and for six weeks, my husband spent every day with his older son, while our kids barely saw him. The problem is, D.J. will be coming to visit again this summer. While I understand that this is my husband's son, I must protect our younger kids from his violence. My husband is upset that I don't want D.J. in our home. Please help. — Scared to Death Dear Scared: D.J. sounds like a very disturbed young man who takes his hostility out on your children. Based on his track record, he cannot be trusted around them. It must be difficult for your husband to accept that his son is so violent, but we think having D.J. stay with his grandparents is sensible. We hope your husband will consider getting some counseling for him, and also for the entire family. Dear Annie: My 90-year-old mother is an Alzheimer's patient. In her younger days, she was very active in the community and belonged to many organizations and social clubs. Mom doesn't get out of her assisted-living community much. Occasionally, I take her in her wheelchair to a local restaurant or a doctor's appointment. Because of her former high profile in the community, many people recognize her, but she no longer knows them. I always tell them to please identify themselves so she doesn't get confused. Yet even with this warning, some people insist on saying, "Hi, Mary! Do you know who I am?" Of course, I immediately tell Mom their name and how she knows them so she can put them in context. But what amazes me is that some people have the nerve to ask, "Why did you tell her? I wanted to see if she recognized me!" Mind you, she often does not know me. Why on earth would she remember some acquaintance from 30 years ago? Mom knows enough to be aware that she has a problem with her memory. The shock and despair on her face during these encounters is so sad, it makes me want to smack these idiots. I'm amazed at the stupidity of some people and wanted to tell them so. — Pissed Off in El Paso Dear El Paso: It is always wise to identify yourself when approaching someone. It is both inconsiderate and egotistical to assume everyone knows who you are. This is especially important when dealing with a person with Alzheimer's. Thanks for saying so. Dear Annie: I've been reading about the barking dogs. Many years ago, we lived next to a lady who had chickens. I called and told her that her rooster was waking us up too early in the morning. She promised it wouldn't happen again. The next morning, the rooster began to crow. I got out of bed and called her on the phone. When she answered, I began to crow like a rooster. End of problem. — The Villages, Fla. Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

SUDOKU PUZZLE
HOW TO PLAY: Complete the grid so that every row, column and 3x3 box contains every digit from 1 to 9 inclusively. Find answers to today’s puzzle in tomorrow’s Troy Daily News. YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:
HINTS FROM HELOISE
Here’s a way to ‘soup up’ your canned soup! Dear Readers: It’s winter, and what better way to warm up on a cold day than to have a hot bowl of soup? If you’re too busy to make a big pot of homemade soup, I have a few hints for making canned soup more appetizing. Try these: • Try adding grated cheese, chopped hard-boiled eggs or a few croutons to thick soups for extra flavor. • To jazz up cream soups, add a dollop of sour cream, yogurt or chopped herbs. • For clear soups, add dumplings, won tons, rice or noodles to give the soup a little more substance. • For chili or bean soups, add
Hints from Heloise Columnist slices of avocado or some grated cheese, and top with a little sour cream. If you’d like to try new soup recipes, I have several in my Heloise’s Spectacular Soups pamphlet. To receive one, send $5 and a long, selfaddressed, stamped (65 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Soup, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX
78279-5001. FYI: If your soup is too hot, toss in an ice cube, or better yet, some frozen veggies! — Heloise PILLOW HELPER Dear Heloise: I look forward to reading your column each morning in the San Angelo Standard-Times here in the great state of Texas. Clean used pillows, towels and blankets are welcomed at your local animal shelter. There are so many animals that would welcome a soft pillow to rest on. This is a great way to help an animal and recycle at the same time. Check with your local shelters to find out if they would like your used pillows,
etc. — Nancy in San Angelo, Texas A WORN-OUT KEY Dear Heloise: My car ignition seemed to be “jammed” and unable to be turned on. A neighbor suggested that it might be due to the ignition, and it would cost several hundred dollars to have it replaced. Fortunately, my honest mechanic suggested that it might simply be because my key was worn out. Sure enough! When I tried the second key (that came with the car), it worked perfectly. It had never dawned on me that car keys could wear out! Stupid me! — Elaine W., via email

HOROSCOPE Saturday, Feb. 25, 2012 Don’t be hesitant about elevating your ambitions in the year ahead, especially where your career goals are concerned. You’re in a far better achievement cycle at this point in time than you may realize. Make the most of it. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — You could achieve some ample material gains, especially in an arrangement where you are doing business with someone who is of the opposite gender. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You’d be better off managing a critical matter yourself rather than giving the assignment to someone who has never done the job before. At least you’ll know what you’re doing. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — It could give you a wonderful feeling to do something for a loved one without thought of sacrifice. Follow the dictates of your compassion. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Don’t be reluctant to express your gratitude to someone who has been kind to you just because you think it may show weakness on your part. On the contrary, it shows appreciation and strength of character. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Some kind of friendly competition will prove to be an enjoyable experience for you. You’ll have so much fun that whether you win or lose, you’ll do it with grace. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Don’t get upset if your ears start ringing, because any talk about you is likely to be quite complimentary, and you’ll hear about it later. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — If you feel there is a chance you might not have shown the proper consideration to a loved one lately, you should find a way to make amends. Hugs and kisses generally work well. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — When your mate needs a bit of cheering up, it behooves you to show a little extra consideration and appreciation for who he or she is. That can generally put the relationship back on course. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — You’re entering a cycle in which situations that affect your work or earnings are likely to start showing some improvement. If it hasn’t happened yet, it should be occurring soon. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — If you’re an unattached Sagittarian who has been hoping to find someone special, get out and circulate, with an eye to where the nice people generally hang out. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You have a special gift for being able to conclude matters successfully, in ways where no one is likely to feel shortchanged. Do so when a situation calls for it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Go out of your way to compliment someone who is deserving of it. Your comments could prove to be more important to that person than you may realize.

Luck-y day in Indy
Wrestling
Top QBs meet with NFL scouts INDIANAPOLIS (AP) A poster hanging outside Lucas Oil Stadium still bears the image of Peyton Manning. the house Inside Manning built, the discussion is all about his successor. On Friday, Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III finally got a chance to start making their pitches to be this year’s No. 1 draft pick and supplant Manning as the face of the Colts’ franchise though neither is ready to push him aside yet. “Peyton was my hero growing up, he was my football hero, he’s who I modeled myself after in high school and middle school. You never truly replace a guy like that,” Luck said at the NFL’s scouting combine. “If I had the opportunity to learn from a guy like that, of course you’re going to take advantage of that, absolutely.” One of the top two quarterbacks in this year’s draft may not have a choice about whether he plays or sits in 2012. After going a leagueworst 2-14, the Colts won the lottery ticket for the Andrew Luck sweepstakes, and team owner Jim Irsay has already said he intends to use the No. 1 overall pick on Indy’s next big franchise quarterback. Presumably, that quarterback’s portrait will wind up on the wall of the same venue both are expected to participate in some of Sunday’s workouts. Who will it be? Luck met with Colts quarterback coach Clyde Christensen on Thursday night and will undoubtedly see more of the Colts staff this weekend. Griffin has already met with Philadelphia and has meetings scheduled with Kansas City and Cleveland, a team that may be looking to swap picks with St. Louis to take Griffin. Coaches and general managers believe Luck, like Manning in 1998, is the more polished prospect. “He (Luck) has got a great start,” said Texans coach Gary Kubiak, who was been watching Luck since his high school days. “He’s been coached very well. The system he’s been running is very similar to what most of the people do in pro football. He’s doing a lot of stuff at the line of scrimmage. He has a good chance to be a great, great player in this league.” Griffin, the Heisman Trophy winner, is believed to have more upside, just like Ryan Leaf, who went second in the ‘98 draft. And with scouting reports on Griffin steadily improving, the biggest concern heading into the combine was Griffin’s height.
AP
Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck answers a question during a news conference at the NFL football scouting combine in Indianapolis Friday. Some worried the quarterback who was listed at 6foot-4 in high school and 62 at Baylor, was actually shorter. Griffin ended any speculation about the incredible shrinking quarterback by measuring in at 6-2 3/8, 223 pounds — a point he made three times during a 15-minute question-andanswer session with reporters. “Cam (Newton) is a bigger guy, 6-5, 240 and I’m 62 3/8 and 223,” Griffin said, drawing laughter. “I’m not going to let that one go.” This year’s crop of quarterbacks is an intriguing mix of talent. There’s quarterbackturned-receiver-turnedquarterback Ryan Tannehill from Texas A&M. There’s Wisconsin’s Russell Wilson and 28year-old Brandon Weeden, who have already been drafted — by Major League Baseball teams. There’s Kirk Cousins from Michigan State, the undersized Kellen Moore from Boise State and little known Patrick Witt from Yale. Then, of course, there’s Luck, considered the most NFL ready quarterback since Manning, and the rapidly-rising Griffin. Most believe that barring any unknown medical issues, Luck will go No. 1 to Indianapolis and Griffin could go No. 2 if the Rams trade the pick. The quarterbacks don’t believe it’s that clear-cut.
“I think that’s a little premature,” Luck said when asked whether he’d started house-hunting on his second trip to Indy in less than a month. He was also here during Super Bowl week. With more than two months to go before the April draft, there’s lots of time for scouts to dissect the flaws and change their rankings. But in a strange twist, it could be the No. 2 pick that ends up with more playing time in the fall. Manning still has not completely recovered from a nerve injury that caused weakness in his throwing arm and forced him to miss the entire 2011 season. The Colts must now decide whether to pay the fourtime league MVP a $28 million bonus by March 8 or risk losing him as a free agent. Complicating matters, Manning has also offered to redo the deal five-year, $90 million deal he signed last July in hopes of finishing his career in Indy. If the two sides can work out a new deal and Manning is healthy, he could be the Colts starter and relegate the No. 1 pick to bench duty. It’s a prospect Griffin and Luck believe can work. “I’d like it to stay Peyton’s picture, but I’m not going to be a politician for that,” said Griffin, who wore Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle socks to the interview session. “I’ve
talked to him (Manning) a couple of times, and I he hope he gets the chance to finish his career here with the Colts.” Luck agrees that his friend should get that opportunity. The two have already built a strong friendship. Luck’s father, Oliver, and Manning’s father, Archie, were teammates for two seasons with the Houston Oilers in the 1980s, and Andrew Luck has attended the Manning Passing Academy as both a pupil and a counselor. After returning he would return to school last year rather than enter the draft, Luck called Peyton Manning for advice about going back. “I think I improved on general knowledge of the game, and I think I sharpened up a lot of my skills,” Luck said of the extra year in college. Sitting behind Manning could help the learning process, too. But at some point, one of these two is likely to have his picture replace that of Manning on the front of the stadium. “I understand the questions have to be asked. It’s part of it. I understand the speculation,” Luck said. “In my mind, nothing has happened yet. I haven’t been drafted any team, and, obviously, the deal with Peyton, that’s still going on with the Colts. But I understand the questions have to be asked.”

Patrick wins pole for Nationwide race DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — In about 24 hours, Danica Patrick went from her biggest crash to her biggest moment in a stock car. The former IndyCar star won the pole Friday for the season-opening Nationwide Series race at Daytona, becoming the first woman to secure the top qualifying spot in NASCAR’s second-tier series since Shawna Robinson at Atlanta on March 12, 1994. It came a day after she wrecked on the final lap of a qualifying race for the Daytona 500. “It’s a good turn of events,” she said. It also set off a flurry of
Twitter traffic that included words such as “Dansanity,” ”Danimosity,” ”Danimite,” and “Dantastic.” “I really don’t think about it from a girl perspective,” she said with her proud parents standing a few yards away. “I’ve been taught from a young age to want to be the best driver. … It was about being the best driver and not the best girl.” Patrick won just once in 115 IndyCar starts. She had seven podium finishes, and two of them came when she began dabbling in NASCAR two seasons ago. She moved to NASCAR full time this season, and is scheduled to
drive 10 Sprint Cup races for Stewart-Haas Racing and run every Nationwide race for JR Motorsports. She will make her Sprint Cup debut in the Daytona 500 on Sunday. The Nationwide race is Saturday. She has three top-10 finishes in 25 Nationwide races over two years. She has felt some pressure since leaving open wheel for stock-car racing. And now, after securing the pole, everything has been ratcheted up a notch. “When you sit on the pole, you’re the fastest car, so if you don’t win the race, then I just wasted the fastest car,” she said. “So, yes, it adds a lot of pressure
and I now feel nervous. Thanks a lot, pole position. You’ve made me nervous already, but it’s a good problem to have and I don’t mind being nervous. “It tends to bring out some good things in me, so I’m not bothered by that. But expectations, sure, yeah, anybody who sits on the pole is going to expected to do well because they obviously have a good car.” Patrick turned a fast lap of 49.250 seconds around the high-banked speedway, averaging 182.741 mph. Defending Daytona 500 winner Trevor Bayne qualified second, followed by Elliott Sadler, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Austin Dillon.

Reds hoping for a healthy Rolen GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) — Third baseman Scott Rolen won’t make a guess about how many games his surgically repaired shoulder will allow him to play this season. The Cincinnati Reds hope it’s a lot more than last year. Rolen reported with the rest of the Reds position players for their first workout on Friday. He said his left shoulder feels good, six months after surgery to clean it out. Still, he’s not sure what to expect. Rolen turns 37 on April 4 and has been bothered by back and shoulder problems the last two years. He’s entering the final year on his contract. Rolen played in so few games last season 65 that he felt fresh at the end of the year, something he’d like to avoid. “I’m looking at the present,” Rolen said. “I just want to go out and play and be tired at the end of the year, if it is my last year. I want to make sure that I can play and be responsible.” Rolen was instrumental in the Reds winning the NL Central title in 2010, having an All-Star caliber first half of the season .290 with 17 homers and 57 RBIs. Nagging injuries to his back and shoulder caused a significant drop in his power in the second half, when he hit only three homers and drove in 26 runs. The shoulder sent pain into his neck and prevented him from raising his arm above shoulder level last season, forcing him to have surgery on Aug. 3. He wanted to play
again before the end of the season, but the shoulder didn’t recover as quickly as hoped. It’s been a problem for years. Rolen hurt it in a collision with the Dodgers’ Hee Seop Choi in 2005, requiring two operations. He missed the final month of the 2007 season and had the shoulder cleaned out. He sprained it in 2008. Rolen set a goal of playing in 120 games last season, but the shoulder hurt enough that he went on the disabled list. Rolen batted .242 with five homers and 36 RBIs, which weren’t his most disappointing statistics. “I’m not a big numbers guy,” he said. “I do like to look at games played. I was disappointed last year. I felt I wasn’t accountable last year. I have a responsibility to my team.” Rolen is in the final year of a contract he renegotiated with the Reds to give them more payroll flexibility in the short-term. He’ll make a base salary of $6.5 million this season. Rolen said he’s been taking batting practice though not every day since January. Manager Dusty Baker will go easy with him during spring training and make sure to get him adequate rest during the season. “The number of games he plays will be based on how he feels,” Baker said. “I don’t want to put a number on it. Some of the other guys will have to fill in some. This spring will determine who. A lot will depend on how the other guys play and what we need power, speed, defense.”

Troy Christian’s Spencer Thomas (left) makes a move against a Cedarville defender. ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 “Everytime we come out, we want to apply defensive pressure to the other team,” Ray Zawadzki said. “We want to force them to do things they aren’t comfortable with. We took advantage of that on the offensive end. Right now our defense trusts each other and they understand what we are trying to do offensively. I think we’re in the right spot at the right time.” Troy Christian led from wire-to-wire in this one, jumping out to a 17-4 lead by the end of one quarter as Zawadzki dished out four assists during that span. The Eagles had five assists on seven field goals as a team in the quarter. Six different Troy Christian players scored in the first. In the second, Cedarville finally reached double figures with 2:20 remaining, but the damage had already been done. Nathan Kirkpatrick lit it up, scoring seven of his 11 points in the quarter, helping the Eagles push the advantage to 3313 by half. Kyle Oldiges scored Cedarville’s first bucket with 3:10 left in the third quarter, but by that point Troy Christian had already went up 44-15, putting the game out of reach.

Anytime we have that positive assist-turnover ratio, we are usually sitting pretty good.” The win sends the Eagles to a place that has eluded them in the past, the second round of the sectional tournament. Troy Christian has only posted three wins in its tournament history, so advancing is a big deal. “Going to a second round game is nice. If we can win, it will be the first time in school histo-
ry that any team has ever won a second round game,” Ray Zawadzki said. “We are trying to take it one game at a time. When we came here three years ago, we wrote down our goals.

TIPP CITY — Gunner Shirk scored 15 points, had six steals, dropped five assists and added four rebounds as Miami East — winners of its last 12 games — continued its dominance, topping Brookville in the first round of the Division III Sectional tournament 59-35. “It was a very good game all around for our leading scorer (Shirk),” Miami East coach Allen Mack said. “It was a great way for him to start the tournament.” Garrett Mitchell netted two 3-pointers on his way to 11 points. He also added five rebounds, four steals and three assists, while Josh Snyder scored 10 points and had five assists as well. The Vikings forced 25 Brookville turnovers and had 16 steals, to go along with 16 offensive rebounds for the game. “It was a good game to get everybody involved. Several guys scored their first tournament baskets. We had nine guys in the scoring column.” East (19-2) plays Stivers on Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. in Tipp City.

Westwood moves into quarterfinals at Match Play MARANA, Ariz. (AP) — Lee Westwood had every reason to pack light for the Match Play Championship. He never made it out of the second round in his 11 previous trips to this tournament, and he never could understand why. Now it seems as if Westwood can do no wrong. He has led after 48 of the 49 holes he has played through three rounds at Dove Mountain, barely breaking a sweat under the blazing sun in the high desert. And he erased more bad memories Friday with a 3-and-2 victory over Nick Watney, who had eliminated Westwood each of the last two years. “You want to come out and get momentum as quickly as possible,” said Westwood, who birdied the opening two holes for the second straight match. “And the only way to do that is by winning holes.” Now, Westwood is two matches away from a shot at his first World Golf Championship, and a return to No. 1 in the world. But he’s not alone. Rory McIlroy also can go to No. 1 in the world for the first time in his young career by winning the Match Play Championship.
He also had an easy time, winning on the 17th hole over Miguel Angel Jimenez. Westwood and McIlroy are on track to face each other Sunday morning in the semifinals. The battle for No. 1 made possible by Luke Donald losing in the opening round put some interest into an otherwise dull afternoon at Dove Mountain. None of the matches went the distance until the final last one, when Bae Sang-moon missed a 6-foot putt on the 17th hole, only to finish off John Senden with a par putt from about the same distance on the 18th hole. Two of the matches only made it to the 17th, and four of the third-round matches ended on the 15th hole. McIlroy has struggled to block out the idea that he could go to No. 1. Instead, he’s trying to use it as an advantage. “It’s a nice incentive,” McIlroy said. “It’s nice to have in the back of your mind. And if you’re struggling in a match and find it hard to get yourself up, or get any sort of momentum, if you think about that and you think if you can really dig deep, you still have a chance to become No. 1.”

Lee Westwood hits on the seventh fairway while playing Nick Watney during the Match Play Championship golf tournament Friday in Marana, Ariz. Westwood was No. 1 a year ago, and it’s a less of a priority than to capture his first World Golf Championship. Just getting to the quarterfinals is
a small achievement. “I’m just happy to be looking for a different restaurant for Friday night,” Westwood said. “I had a little chuckle watch-
ing The Golf Channel on Wednesday morning and listening to them make all their predictions and things like that. I don’t think they got many right.” And where did the prognosticators have Westwood? “On the BA 289 on Thursday night,” he said, referring to his usual British Airways flight. Westwood next plays Martin Laird, who won the battle of Scotland by taking down former British Open champion Paul Lawrie, 3 and 1. Next up for McIlroy is Bae, the South Korean surprise in his first Match Play Championship. Bae won three times last year on the Japan Golf Tour. And while he made it through Q-school to earn a PGA Tour card, he ended last year at No. 30 in the world. He is no stranger in global golf, as McIlroy knows all too well. They played in the final group of the Korea Open in 2009, where McIlroy and Kim Dae-sub were tied for the 54-hole lead. Bae closed with a 67 and beat them both. Bae had the only match that went 18 holes in one of the dullest third rounds ever at the Match Play
Championship. He took a 1-up lead on the 16th hole against Senden when the Australian played a poor chip. Senden missed a 20foot birdie putt to square the match on the 18th, and Bae completed a long twoputt par with a 5-footer. “He’s been very impressive this week,” McIlroy said. In other matches: Hunter Mahan took advantage of some mental lapses by Steve Stricker to build a big lead and held on for a 4-and-3 win. Mahan will play Matt Kuchar, a 4-and-3 winner against Martin Kaymer, a finalist last year at Dove Mountain. That assures there will be an American in the semifinals at the Match Play for the first time since 2009. One year after Mark Wilson was drubbed in the second round by big-hitting Bubba Watson, he overwhelmed another power player by beating Dustin Johnson for the second straight year. Johnson was too wild too often and couldn’t make putts, a bad combination in match play. Wilson will play Peter Hanson of Sweden, who dismantled Brandt Snedeker during a quiet, effective march to the quarterfinals.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Saturday, Feb. 25, the 56th day of 2012. There are 310 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight: On Feb. 25, 1862, Nashville, Tennessee was occupied by federal forces during the Civil War; it was the first Confederate capital to fall to the Union. On this date: In 1779, a militia led by George Rogers Clark routed the British from Fort Sackville in the Revolutionary War Battle of
Vincennes in present-day Indiana. In 1836, inventor Samuel Colt patented his revolver. In 1901, United States Steel Corp. was incorporated by J.P. Morgan. In 1913, the 16th Amendment to the Constitution, giving Congress the power to levy and collect income taxes, was declared in effect by Secretary of State Philander Chase Knox. In 1919, Oregon became the
first state to tax gasoline, at one cent per gallon. In 1948, Communists seized power in Czechoslovakia. In 1964, Cassius Clay (later Muhammad Ali) became world heavyweight boxing champion by defeating Sonny Liston in Miami Beach. In 1986, President Ferdinand Marcos fled the Philippines after 20 years of rule in the wake of a tainted election; Corazon Aquino assumed the presidency.

become the center of the Syrian revolt. Activists said at least 50 people were killed nationwide. In Tunisia, the U.S., European and Arab nations asked the U.N. to start drafting plans for a civilian peacekeeping mission that would deploy after the Damascus regime halts the brutal crackdown. Still unwilling to commit to military intervention to end the bloodshed, the group offered nothing other than the threat of increasing isolation and sanctions to compel compliance from Assad, who has ignored similar demands. In Washington, President Barack Obama said the U.S. and its allies would consider “every tool available� to stop the slaughter of innocent people in Syria. He did not give specifics about what that might entail. “It is time for that regime to move on. And it is time to stop the killing of Syrian citizens by their own government,� he said. On Thursday, former U.N. secretary-general Kofi Annan was appointed the joint United Nations-Arab League envoy on the Syrian crisis. Annan said in a statement Friday that he would try to “help bring an end to

the violence and human rights abuses, and promote a peaceful solution� in Syria. He expressed hope that the Syrian government and opposition groups will cooperate with him in his efforts. The Tunisia meeting is the latest international effort to end the crisis, which began when protesters inspired by uprisings sweeping across the Arab world took the streets in some of Syria’s impoverished provinces nearly a year ago to call for political change. Assad’s security forces have responded with a fierce crackdown, and blame the violence on Islamic extremists and armed gangs. In recent months, the situation has grown increasingly militarized as opposition forces, boosted by army defectors, have increasingly taken up arms against the regime. The U.N. estimated in January that 5,400 people were killed in the conflict in 2011. Hundreds more have died since. Syrian activists say the death toll is more than 7,300. Overall figures cannot be independently confirmed because Syria has prevented most media from operating inside the country. On Thursday, U.N.appointed investigators in Geneva said they had compiled a list of Syrian officials accused of crimes against humanity in the crackdown. The list reaches as high as Assad.

BEIRUT (AP) — President Bashar Assad’s forces pounded rebel-held areas in central Syria on Friday, killing at least 22 people, activists said. More than 60 nations meeting in Tunisia asked the United Nations to start planning for a civilian peacekeeping mission that would deploy after the Syrian regime halts its crackdown. As government troops relentlessly shelled rebelheld neighborhoods in the besieged city of Homs, thousands of people in dozens of towns staged anti-regime protests under the slogan: “We will revolt AP PHOTO/RODRIGO ABD for your sake, Baba Amr,� Free Syrian Army fighters relax on security duty at a checkpoint in Kafar Taharim, referring to the Homs northern Syria, Friday. neighborhood that has
