WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House and Republicans kept up the unrelenting mudslinging Sunday over who’s to blame for roundly condemned budget cuts set to take effect at week’s end, with the administration detailing the potential fallout in each state and governors worrying about the mess. But as leaders rushed past each other to decry the potentially devastating and seemingly inevitable cuts, they also criticized their counterparts for their roles in introducing, implementing and obstructing the $85 billion budget mechanism that could affect everything from
commercial flights to classrooms to meat inspections. The GOP’s leading line of criticism hinged on blaming Obama’s aides for introducing the budget trigger in the first place, while the administration’s allies were determined to illustrate the consequences of the cuts as the product of Republican stubbornness. Former Republican National Committee chairman Haley Barbour, aware the political outcome may be predicated on who is AP to blame, half-jokingly said In this Dec. 13, 2012 file photo, House Speaker John Boehner Sunday, “Well, if it was a bad idea, accuses President Barack Obama of not being serious about cutting government spending during a Capitol Hill news conference • See BUDGET on Page 2 in Washington.
An ‘experience of a lifetime’ Tipp student attends presidential inauguration BY AMY MAXWELL For the Troy Daily News tdneditorial@civitasmedia.com Tippecanoe High School senior Alex Turzynski didn’t watch the presidential inauguration on television this year — he got to see it live. “It was the experience of a lifetime,” Turzynski said. Turzynski was selected by the Congressional Youth Leadership Council after reviewing his ACT exam scores, which were characteristic of an individual possessing interest in national security. He was invited to attend the National Security Conference in Washington, D.C., along with 1,000 other students, which also qualified him to be selected to attend the Presidential Inauguration Jan. 21. On that day, he had to wake up at 4 a.m. so he had enough time to eat, park (he had to walk almost 2 miles) and get through security. “There was unbelievable security throughout and one could count the black figures on top of the buildings watching,” he said. During the inauguration, Turzynski was halfway up the mall and packed in tightly with other spectators. “I could obviously not see the president, but I could see the iconic steps that he was giving the speech from (we watched on enormous televisions),” Turzynski said, adding that the band marched right next to them on the way up to the stage.

several political leaders and a sneak peek at the president’s daily schedule. “My time spent at the five-day conference was very interesting and eyeopening,” Turzynski said. One of the highlights for Turzynski was listening to speaker Condoleezza Rice, former U.S. Secretary of State and National Security Advisor to the President. “She spoke about the hard decisions she was faced with during the 9/11 attacks and how important it was for her to keep control of her emotions in the intense situation,” Turzynski explained.

Another blizzard bearing down on Plains DODGE CITY, Kan. (AP) — A second major winter storm was bearing down on the central Plains Sunday, forcing cancellations and sending public works crews scrambling for salt and sand supplies less than a week after another system dumped more than a foot of snow on parts of the region. The National Weather Service issued a blizzard watch from Sunday evening through late Monday for much of western Kansas ahead of the strong storm system packing high winds and sleet that has been tracking across western Texas toward Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri. The area was hit by a massive storm last week that dumped a foot of snow in some sections, closed airports and caused numerous accidents. “It would have been nice if we’d had a few days to recover, to do some equipment rehab,” Joe Pajor, deputy director of public works in Wichita, told The Wichita Eagle. The city saw its second-highest snowfall ever Thursday with 14.2 inches. Other totals from the Thursday snowstorm included 18 inches in the southern Kansas town of Zenda, 17 inches in Hays, Kan., about 13 inches in northeast Missouri and 12 inches of snow in parts of Kansas City. Steve Corfidi, meteorologist with the National Weather Service’s Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla., said the storm also will affect southern states and could spawn tornadoes Tuesday in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, the Florida Panhandle and Georgia. “It definitely will be one of the more significant events of the season, the winter season, absolutely,” Corfidi told The Associated Press. “Both in winter weather and severe weather potential, and rain, down in the southeast United States.”

it was the president’s idea.” Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., said there was little hope to dodge the cuts “unless the Republicans are willing to compromise and do a balanced approach.” No so fast, Republicans interjected. “I think the American people are tired of the blame game,” said Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H. Yet just a moment before, she was blaming Obama for putting the country on the brink of massive spending cuts that were initially designed to be so unacceptable that Congress would strike a grand bargain to avoid them. Obama nodded to the squabble during his weekly radio and Internet address. “Unfortunately, it appears that Republicans in Congress have decided that instead of compromising instead of asking anything of the wealthiest Americans they would rather let these cuts fall squarely on the middle class,” Obama said Saturday, in his last weekly address before the deadline. “We just need Republicans in Washington to come around,” Obama added. “Because we need their help to finish the job of reducing our deficit in a smart way that doesn’t hurt our economy or our people.” With Friday’s deadline nearing, few in the nation’s capital were optimistic that a realistic alternative could be found and all sought to cast the political process itself as the culprit. If Congress does not step in, a top-to-bottom series of cuts will be spread across domestic and defense agencies in a way that would fundamentally change how government serves its people.
Obama senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer told reporters the GOP is “so focused on not giving the president another win” that they will cost thousands of jobs. To back up their point, the White House released state-by-state tallies for how many dollars and jobs the budget cuts would mean to each state. “The Republicans are making a policy choice that these cuts are better than eliminating loopholes,” Pfeiffer said. And, yes, those cuts will hurt. They would slash from domestic and defense spending alike, leading to furloughs for hundreds of thousands of government workers and contractors. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has said the cuts would harm the readiness of U.S. fighting forces. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said travelers could see delayed flights. Education Secretary Arne Duncan said 70,000 fewer children from lowincome families would have access to Head Start programs. And furloughed meat inspectors could leave plants idled. In Virginia, for instance, 90,000 Defense Department civilian employees could be furloughed, including nurses at Army hospitals, said Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va. He also said ship-repair contractors could lay off 300 of their 450 employees. “There is no reason that this has to happen. We just need to find a balanced approach,” Kaine said. White House officials also pointed to Ohio as another state that would be hit hard: $25.1 million in education spending and another $22 million for students with disabilities. Some 2,500 children from low-income families would also be removed from Head

Turzynski, who is also involved with the Post Secondary Education Option at THS, is currently earning college credits at the University of Dayton. “My involvement with PSEO has really given me more life experience and been instrumental in my future plans. After graduation, I am planning on attending UD or Eastern Kentucky University and pursuing a degree in criminal justice pertaining to homeland security,” Turzynski said. “I want to serve my country and my community in that way.” Turzynski credits his parents, Ben and Joanne, for always being supportive of him and his older sister, Monica as well as several teachers that have impacted Turzynski. “Professor Timothy Apolito, Mr. Mike McCray, Ms. Aimee Noel and Mrs. Brenda Mahaney have been instrumental in my journey and have helped mold me into the man I am today. They have taught me valuable life lessons and have helped open my eyes up to the world. Each one deserves immense credit for not only what they have done in terms of my development, but also for the development of countless other young people. Each one inspired me to take chances like the National Youth Leadership Conferences. They all have prepared me for a wide open and bright future, for the next step in life’s journey,” Turzynski said.
Start programs. Officials said their analysis showed Kentucky would lose $93,000 in federal funding for a domestic abuse program, meaning 400 fewer victims being served in Senator Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s home state. Georgia, meanwhile, would face a $286,000 budget cut to its children’s health programs, meaning almost 4,200 fewer children would receive vaccinations against measles and whooping cough. White House officials said Nevada would face military furloughs totaling $12.1 million in reduced pay, a $424,000 cut to pay for meals for seniors and an almost $2 million reduction for clean air and water programs. The White House was ready with state-by-state reports designed to get hold-out lawmakers to compromise or face unhappy constituents. The White House compiled the numbers from federal agencies and its own budget office. The numbers reflect the impact of the cuts this year. Unless Congress acts by Friday, $85 billion in cuts are set to take effect from March to September. As to whether states could move money around to cover shortfalls, the White House said that depends on state budget structures and the specific programs. The White House did not have a list of which states or programs might have flexibility. Republican leaders were not impressed by the reports for the 50 states and the District of Columbia. “The White House needs to spend less time explaining to the press how bad the sequester will be and more time actually working to stop it,” said Michael Steel, a
• CONTINUED FROM A1 More than a foot of snow is possible from the Texas Panhandle, across the Oklahoma Panhandle and into Kansas and possibly Missouri as the storm moves eastward from the southwestern United States. While snowfall is expected to taper off by Monday afternoon, wind gusts of up to 35 mph will remain a hazard, said Sarah Johnson, a meteorologist in the National Weather Service’s Amarillo, Texas, office. Pajor told the Wichita newspaper the new storm “looks worse than the last one” and that sand and salt supplies are low because of last week’s record storm, as are the number of locations where snow can be transported off city streets. He said the plowing strategy for the new blizzard may have to involve plowing snow into the center of arterial streets, and cutting traffic to one lane each direction. He also said streets won’t be treated with the city’s limited sand and salt supplies until

cial operations, especially socalled night raids. “Those Afghans in these armed groups who are working with the U.S. special forces, the defense minister asked for an explanation of who they are,” Faizi said. “Those individuals should be handed over to the Afghan side so that we can further investigate.” A statement the security council issued in English said the armed individuals have allegedly been “harassing, annoying, torturing and even murdering innocent people.” Ceasing all such operations could have a negative impact on the coalition’s campaign to go after Taliban leaders and commanders, who are usually the target of such operations. Faizi said the issue had already been brought up with the coalition. The U.S. statement said only that the announcement was “an important issue that we intend to fully discuss with our Afghan counterparts. But until we have had a chance to speak with senior Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan officials about this issue, we are not in a position to comment further.”

the snow ends and plowing is under way. The threat of the pending storm forced cancellations Sunday and Monday in Kansas and Missouri, including the championship basketball tournament for the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Association, which rescheduled the tournament for Tuesday in Park City, Kan. Matt Lehenbauer, emergency management director for Woodward County, Okla., said he expected rain or snow to begin there Sunday evening and forecast up to a foot of snow and wind gusts up to 50 miles per hour. “We’re expecting white-out conditions,” he told the AP. He said there is plenty of salt and sand on hand to help clear roads, but the conditions may cause delays. “We may not get the roads cleared until midday Tuesday if we get the expected amount of snow and wind. As it’s falling, in the blizzard-like conditions, we just won’t be able to keep up,” he said.

spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio. Some governors said the impasse was just the latest crisis in Washington that is keeping businesses from hiring and undermining the ability of state leaders to develop their own spending plans. “It’s senseless and it doesn’t need to happen,” said Gov. Martin O’Malley, D-Md., during the annual meeting of the National Governors Association this weekend. “And it’s a damn shame, because we’ve actually had the fastest rate of jobs recovery of any state in our region. And this really threatens to hurt a lot of families in our state and kind of flat-line our job growth for the next several months,” O’Malley said. Obama did not mention the budget cuts in remarks before his dinner with the governors Sunday evening at the White House; he is expected to address the issue in a speech Monday morning to the same group. But time is running out and hope is waning. Suggestions intended to instill a spirit of compromise included a presidential summit at Camp David and even a field trip to watch “Lincoln.” Connecticut Gov. Dan Malloy said it is past time for both sides to sit down to help dodge cuts that will hurt all states’ budgets. “Come to the table, everyone. Everybody. Let’s work this thing out. Let’s be adults,” said Malloy, a Democrat. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., called the defense cuts “unconscionable” and urged Obama to call lawmakers to the White House or the presidential retreat of Camp David for a last-minute budget summit.

Did You Know? • Before the Pony Express, mail traveled by ship from New York to Panama. Then over land to the other shore of Panama. Then by ship again north to San Francisco, Calif. It took three or four weeks. • Mail also could go west by stagecoach. That took about 21 days to go from New York to San Francisco. • The Pony Express trip took 10 days in the summer, but a few more days in the winter. • Riders had to weigh less than 125 pounds, but most riders weighed about 120 pounds. • Riders had to be tough, loyal, honest and brave. • Riders were supposed to be at least 16 years old, but some riders lied. • The Pony Express preferred orphans because their parents would not worry about them. • Bronco Charlie is said to have been 11 years old when he rode for the Pony Express. • Buffalo Bill Cody was only 15 when he started riding for the Pony Express. • Riders were paid $25 a week. • Riders had to promise not to fight, curse or drink. • Each rider rode about 75 miles per day. • Riders changed horses at a relay station every 10 to 15 miles. • There were about 153 relay stations. • Horses usually traveled about 10 miles an hour. • Sometimes riders had to ride through the day into the night.
Pony Express
The Pony Express was a mail delivery service that ran between Missouri and California. Using the Pony Express, mail could arrive in California in as few as nine days rather than the weeks it took to arrive when sent by horse carriage. HOW DID IT WORK? The Pony Express used a planned out route with a number of stations along the way. Riders would carry the mail from station to station, switching to fresh horses at each station. Every hundred or so miles the rider would be replaced. This allowed the mail to be constantly moving at a good speed. THE ROUTE The route used by the Pony Express went from St. Joseph, Mo., to Sacramento, Calif. There were 184 stations along the 1,900 mile route. It followed the Oregon Trail for a ways, and then used the Mormon Trail to Salt Lake City. The trail traveled over the Rocky Mountains, the Sierra Nevada Mountains and finally to California. THE RIDERS The riders of the Pony Express made $100 a month, which was pretty good money for the time.

In order to keep the weight down that the horses had to carry, the riders had to weigh less than 125 pounds. A lot of the riders were young, tough, skinny, teenagers who were willing to face the dangers of the ride for the excitement of the job and the money they could earn. WHEN DID THE PONY EXPRESS RUN? The Pony Express was a business. Despite its place in American history, it didn't stay open very long. It opened on April 3, 1860, and closed on Oct. 24, 1861. At the height of its business
WHY DID IT END? The Pony Express was forced to close after the opening of the transcontinental telegraph. Telegraphs could be sent much faster and with less expense. In the end, the business venture that was the Pony Express lost a lot of money and became outdated fairly quickly. INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THE PONY EXPRESS • The first riders left from Sacramento and St. Joseph on April 3, 1860. They each arrived around 10 days later. • In the winter, the trip generally took around two days longer than in the summer. • The most famous of the Pony Express riders was

PERSPECTIVE
“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
ANALYSIS
Obama, GOP see no need to stop the cuts WASHINGTON (AP) — Unlike in earlier rounds of budget brinkmanship, President Barack Obama and congressional Republicans both seem content to fight out their latest showdown on the current terrain, let across-the-board spending cuts take effect on March 1 and allow them to stay in place for weeks if not much longer. This time, there is no market-rattling threat of a government default to force the two sides to compromise, no federal shutdown on the short-term horizon and no year-end deadline for preventing a tax increase for every working American. The rhetoric is reminiscent, for sure. “So far at least, the ideas that the Republicans have proposed ask nothing of the wealthiest Americans or the biggest corporations,” Obama said this week as he campaigned to pin the blame for any negative effects on his political opponents. “So the burden is all on the first responders, or seniors or middle class families,” he said in comments similar in tone to his re-election campaign. Republicans, standing on political ground of their own choosing, responded sharply to the president’s fresh demand for higher taxes. “Spending is the problem, spending must be the focus,” said House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio, while Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky declared, “There won’t be any easy off-ramps on this one. The days of 11th hour negotiations are over.” A crisis atmosphere could yet develop this spring, when hundreds of thousands or even millions of threatened government furloughs begin to take effect and the spending cuts begin to bite. Already, Republicans are considering legislation to give the administration greater flexibility in making the cuts, a step that could minimize the impact on the public. It’s a step the White House says it opposes, although the depth of that conviction has yet to be tested. At heart, the standoff is yet another indication of the political resistance to a compromise curbing the growth of Medicare, Medicaid and possibly Social Security, a step that both Obama and Republicans say is essential to restoring the nation’s fiscal health. It is the last major remaining challenge in divided government’s struggle, now in its third year, to reduce deficits by $4 trillion or more over a decade. Counting the across-the-board cuts now beginning to command the nation’s attention at a 10-year cost of $1.2 trillion the president and Congress have racked up more than $3.6 trillion in savings. Much came from spending, although legislation that Republicans let pass at year’s end raised taxes on the wealthy to generate an estimated $600 billion for the Treasury over a decade. The so-called sequester now approaching was never supposed to happen. It was designed as an unpalatable fallback, to take effect only in case a congressional super-committee failed to come up with $1 trillion or more in savings from benefit programs. Now, more than a year later, Republicans are fond of saying that the idea itself originated at the White House. That skips lightly over the fact that their own votes helped enact it into law. Also that they decided a month ago that it marked the moment of most leverage in their struggle to maneuver Obama and Democrats into curtailing benefit programs. To accomplish that objective, they already have raised the debt limit without winning any cuts in exchange, a step they once vowed not to take. And within two weeks, they are likely to launch legislation making sure the government operates without interruption when current funding authority runs out for most agencies on March 27.
EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Commercial Appeal, Memphis, Tenn., on no breaks for Congress: Congress likes to impose draconian consequences — the fiscal cliff, sequestration, national default — on itself, and unfortunately on the rest of us as well, for failing to do what it’s supposed to do. The latest such gimmick is the “no budget, no pay” proviso. The idea is that none of the lawmakers will get a paycheck until both the House and Senate pass a budget this year. For the senators, it’s not an idle threat because they haven’t passed a budget in four years. But the threat is somewhat mitigated because so many
members of Congress are wealthy enough that they can get along without their government paycheck and, besides, they get all the money back at the end of the congressional session. No member will starve. However, David Walker, a former U.S. comptroller general who leads the nonprofit Comeback America Initiative, has come up with a promising proposal to get the solons to do their work: “No deal, no break.” The public is generally unaware how much time off Congress takes. Walker notes it plans to adjourn for the equivalent of a full month this spring while we confront at least two critical deadlines: March 27,
when the government faces a shutdown if temporary funding resolutions aren’t renewed, and May 19, when the debt ceiling will rise. And the fiscal 2014 budget must be taken up whenever President Barack Obama sends his budget along. Plus, the lawmakers take a week off for every federal holiday and virtually all of August. … … “The premise is simple,” Walker says. “Stay in Washington and do your job and strike a meaningful fiscal deal that can restore fiscal sanity. And until that happens, don’t recess.” Working at a job until it’s finished — what a novel concept.

DOONESBURY
Grandchild tests the limits of physical fitness Most people come to a time in life when the children have moved out and things slow down a little bit. You can eat when you want and don’t have to order your life around someone else’s schedule. And then God invented grandchildren. My wife and I have one grandchild, a son who is now 9 months old. He lives out of town, but this past week he and his mother showed up for a little R&R at grandma’s house – that’s R&R for mom and son, not so much for grandma and grandpa. Having a 9-month-old in the house has made it clear to me why it is best to have children when you are young and mostly ignorant. You have to be young to have the energy to keep up with them. You have to be mostly ignorant to think you are in control of the situation. Our grandson is a great kid. He is easily the best-looking baby in history and probably the smartest, too. He also is in constant motion, except for the times when you have to carry him around. Everything is a new experience
David Lindeman Troy Daily News Columnist for him. Watching lights being turned on and off is fascinating. Everything has to be closely scrutinized. And virtually everything has to go into his mouth. This means constant surveillance by grandma and grandpa. We pretty much child-proofed a couple rooms of our house, but somehow our little friend still manages to find things he shouldn’t. Wall outlets and wires attract him like baby magnets. Anything that possibly could be breakable draws him in like a black hole. His toys end up spread across rooms, leaving more debris than a meteorite in Russia. Here are the things I’ve learned in the last week: • Car seats aren’t what they
used to be. We used to just strap in a little seat, plop the kid in and take off. Car seats now have more padding and protection than a chair on the space shuttle. It’s a real effort (at least for someone who is grandfather age) to get them strapped in. • Strollers. Same thing as car seats. Our old strollers had little wheels that bumped along and got stuck when you hit a crack in the sidewalk. Modern strollers have shock absorbers, giant tires, even cupholders. My grandson’s stroller cost more than my first car. • Muscle tone. My daughter has been carrying my grandson around for nine months — she could now beat a man twice her size in an arm wrestling match. After lugging him around for a few minutes my arms start to hurt. I’m going to have to start weight training before we visit them later this year. • Sleep. When my grandson goes to bed at 8 p.m., I am ready to go with him. I’m exhausted. Of course, he will be getting up a few times during the night, but you know what? At my age, I’ll be getting up a few times, too. Here
I am 56 years old and I’m just like a 9-month-old, except not nearly as cute. Most things, though, are pretty much the same as when my children were young. My grandson is dredging up some very faint memories from those days. Most food goes on the floor and on the face and not in the mouth. Little kids can crawl really fast. Small children also have a very short attention span, which once again makes grandson and grandfather pretty much alike. And most of all, it’s wonderful to have small children around. You spend a lot of time and energy chasing them around, but when they’re gone you forget about the crying and the diapers (not like grandpa actually does anything in that category) and other inconveniences and remember their smile and the sheer joy of watching them discover life. My grandson is on the way home, and I miss him already. I just have to work on getting into shape for the next time I see him.

DEATHS OF NATIONAL INTEREST • Wojciech Inglot WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Wojciech Inglot, a Polish chemist and businessman who founded and ran a cosmetics company, Inglot, that grew into an international success with nearly 400 stores in 50 countries, has died. He was 57. Inglot died unexpectedly Saturday after suffering internal hemorrhaging, a longtime friend of Inglot’s and associate of the company, Mariusz Ziomecki, told The Associated Press. Inglot was rushed to a hospital in Przemysl, the eastern Polish city where his cosmetics are produced, but doctors were unable to save him. Inglot was born in Przemysl on June 11, 1955. He studied chemistry at Krakow’s prestigious Jagellonian University. After graduation he began his first chemical manufacturing operation in 1983, when Poland was still under communist rule. After Poland began its transition to a market economy in 1989, Inglot turned to producing cosmetics, finding success first at home and then internationally with a range of nail polishes, eye shadows and other products. Today the Inglot logo can be seen large-scale at Times Square in New York City and the cosmetics are sold in nearly 400 boutiques and malls in some 50 countries, including at Macy’s. (NYSE:FD) Recently Inglot found unexpected success with a breathable nail polish that became a surprise hit with Muslim women. The enamel, called O2M for Oxygen 2362620

and Moisture allows air and water to pass through it, unlike traditional varnishes that completely occlude the nail. Traditional varnishes pose a religious problem for observant Muslim women because of prayers five times a day that require a pre-prayer washing ritual. Islamic scholars have long said water must run over the hands and arms, even the finger nails, leading many women to avoid using polish. It was developed about four years ago but started to become a hit with Muslim women after an Islamic scholar in November declared that it was permissible under Muslim law because it allowed water to reach the nail. Inglot told the AP in an interview last week that he developed the breathable polish with health-conscious women in mind, and that he was taken by surprise by the reception it was getting with some Muslim women. Przemysl Mayor Robert Choma expressed shock at the loss of an affable man who created hundreds of jobs locally. Choma said he had been planning to bestow the city’s honorary citizenship on Inglot. “An exceptional person and friend has departed,” Choma said, according to Polish media reports. “Nothing foreshadowed this tragedy.” Inglot is survived by his mother, a brother and a sister. A funeral is planned for noon on Wednesday in the Salezjans Church in Przemysl, the company said in a statement.
• Wolfgang Sawallisch BERLIN — German conductor Wolfgang Sawallisch, acclaimed for his musical brilliance and unpretentious leadership of the Bavarian State Opera and the Philadelphia Orchestra, has died. He was 89. The Munich-based Bavarian State Opera, which Sawallisch led from 1971 to 1992, said he died
Friday at his home in Grassau, southern Germany. “His enormous personality and unrivaled artistry shaped this house for decades,” the opera’s current head, Nikolaus Bachler, said in a statement Sunday. “His name is linked to the Munich opera like no other. His influence continues to be felt until this day and will continue to do so.” Sawallisch also conducted the Bayreuth Festival, the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, the London Philharmonic, La Scala in Milan and Tokyo’s NHK Orchestra, among others. Born in Munich in 1923, Sawallisch began his career after World War II. In 1953, he garnered international attention by becoming the youngest conductor invited to direct the Berlin Philharmonic. By 1960, he had become principal conductor of the Hamburg Philharmonic Orchestra before moving to Munich in 1971. Taking the helm of the Philadelphia Orchestra in 1993, at age 70, he guided the ensemble through a decade of financial and artistic turmoil. He was criticized by some for his traditional approach, but others praised the purity of his performance. “With Sawallisch the music always sounded simple, clear, uncomplicated and transparent,” the Vienna Symphony Orchestra said in its obituary of the conductor who led the ensemble on its well-received first tour of the United States in 1964. At La Scala, where he made his debut in 1957, he was the first non-Italian to be awarded the Golden Baton in 1993. Sawallisch “leaves an enormous void in the musical life of our time,” the famed Milanese opera house said in a statement marking his passing. The Bavarian State Opera said it would dedicate Verdi’s Requiem, directed by Zubin Mehta, to Sawallisch on Monday.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Get help for yourself before it is too late Dear Annie: My husband criticizes me all the time. He also says the nastiest, most hurtful things when we argue. I have been called a slut and a troublemaker and threatened about almost everything. I don't believe he feels bad about the way he treats me, and even when I tell him how painful it is, he continues to do it. We all have made mistakes in our past, but he paints himself as the most innocent and pure person alive. Because of all of this, I find it hard to be intimate with him. My husband tells me he says these things because I am provoking him. Counseling is out of the question, as he would never admit there is a problem with the way he treats me. Would someone behave like this if he doesn't mean it? — N.N. Dear N.N.: Your husband is a classic verbal abuser. Constant criticism and calling you names is a way to control and manipulate you. He also threatens you so you will be afraid of angering him. He refuses to discuss his behavior because he doesn't want to take responsibility for it. You have told him his words are hurtful, but it makes no difference. His abuse is not your fault, but it is important that you make it clear it is unacceptable. Otherwise, he will continue to belittle you, and in some cases, the behavior can escalate to physical abuse. Please lean on your family and friends for support, letting them know what is going on. We also strongly urge you to get counseling on your own in order to decide whether you can set boundaries that he will follow, or whether you must leave for your own safety and sanity. Dear Annie: I am a 25-yearold woman with very short, spiky hair. I wear girly clothes, yet time and time again, people think I am gay. It drives me absolutely crazy. I have seen my hairstyle on other women, and it would never occur to me to think they are gay. I admire guys when they walk by like any other woman my age. I like my hair short because it takes me three minutes to style, which means I can sleep longer. My hair is also rather thin, so a longer style looks straggly. The length of my hair has nothing to do with my sexual orientation. I hope people will see this and think twice. — Short, Sassy and Straight Dear Short: With so many female celebrities wearing short, spiky hairstyles these days, we are amazed that anyone would make such assumptions. Ask a few friends why your appearance gives others this impression. Or, if it bothers you, consider different makeup to feminize your face, although you do not need to justify your look to anyone. If you like it, that's all that matters. Dear Annie: Please tell "Frustrated Viewer in Canada" and other readers that almost all newer flat-screen televisions can be set to meet their audio needs. My family recently was surprised to discover that TV stations were already broadcasting programs with wonderful audio. All we needed to do was read the owner's manual for our TV and make the necessary adjustments to the audio settings. In our case, we also were able to attach external speakers using an amplifier, which gave us even clearer and richer sound. Not only is the dialogue easier to understand, but the hearingimpaired member of our household no longer has to wear special headphones to hear the TV. And what's even more unbelievable, the music in the commercials sounds so good, we no longer feel an urgent need to push the "mute" button. — Eureka, Calif.

HINTS FROM HELOISE
Use your turn signal: It’s there for a reason Dear Readers: Here is this week’s Sound Off, about drivers not using their turn signal: “As a retired state highway patrolman, I am disgusted by the number of drivers who, for some reason — whether it’s through ignorance, stupidity or just arrogance — fail to use a turn signal to let other drivers know their intentions. Even fellow highway patrolmen, deputies and police officers in marked squad cars are guilty of this. Why are these officers not enforcing the traffic laws that they are sworn to enforce, and are we not required to learn that portion of the driver’s license handbook? Your column reaches so
Hints from Heloise Columnist many readers that other media miss, so please ask everyone to be considerate enough of others to abide by the traffic laws. — Retired Mississippi Highway Patrolman” I hear you loud and clear! This is one of my pet peeves, too! In the same area of concern are drivers who leave the turn signal
on and DON’T turn. I try to wait to be sure they do turn before pulling out. — Heloise CABINET CLEANING Dear Heloise: What is your suggestion for cleaning doors and cabinet fronts? We have been remodeling, and grimy hands are all over our doors and cabinets. Please help! — Kathemarie H. in Louisiana Happy to help, Kathemarie! Here is my easy-and-cheap solution: Mix 1 part vinegar (apple cider or white) with 2 parts water. Take a clean rag or a microfiber cloth and submerge in the solution. Squeeze out excess liquid (you never overwet wood). Wipe the cabinet surfaces, then dry the
cabinets with a clean cloth. This should be safe for most finishes, but be sure to test in a small, inconspicuous spot first. Want to know what other household cleaners you can easily make at home? I have put together a pamphlet with all of my homemade cleaning solutions. To order, send $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (66 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Cleaners, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 782795001. Did you know that vinegar alone is great for cleaning buildup off barbecue grills, removing burned-on food in pots and for removing decals and price tags? — Heloise

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Tuesday, Feb. 26, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Because you are fiercely curious about something today, you have the ability to research anything. If you’re digging for facts (or juicy gossip), you’ll find them! TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) In meetings with others today, you will be surprisingly convincing. When you speak, others will be ready to jump on your bandwagon. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is a powerful day to talk to authority figures, because you have conviction in your words. You believe in what you’re saying, and, of course, a good product just sells itself, right? CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is an easy day to study or make travel plans or to convince others of your point of view regarding politics, religion or a philosophical question. People will listen to you. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Today you are quick to defend your own best interests in any disputes about inheritances, shared property, insurance matters, taxes or debt. You will stand your ground and not give an inch. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You might attract someone who is powerfully persuasive today, or in turn, you might be that individual. Either way, discussions with others are dynamic! LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You can get an amazing amount done at work today, and if possible, you will delegate as well. You see what needs to be accomplished, and you’re going to go for it. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is a strong day for those of you involved in sports, the entertainment world or the hospitality industry. When you speak, your words have power. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Family discussions will be lively today. Avoid disputes, and keep things light. You don’t have to make others agree with you; just speak your mind. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is a great day for those of you in sales, marketing, acting, teaching or writing, because you are mentally focused and confident. Whatever you say will carry weight. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You will work very hard to earn money today. Trust your moneymaking ideas, because they’re probably good. (You might talk yourself into a raise.) PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You’re unusually confident today, and you know it. Whatever you say will influence others because you believe in what you’re saying. You’re an example of the power of positive thinking. YOU BORN TODAY Because you are intelligent, intuitive and entertaining, you have the ability to arouse emotions and feelings in others. (This is a powerful gift.) Part of your appeal is that you’re highly individualistic, plus you have a magnetic effect on others. Your insights can be astonishingly critical. The year ahead is the perfect time to study or learn something valuable for your future. Birthdate of: Victor Hugo, author; Erykah Badu, singer; Michael Bolton, singer.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Monday, Feb. 25, the 56th day of 2013. There are 309 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 25, 1913, the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, giving Congress the power to levy and collect income taxes, was declared in effect by Secretary of State Philander Chase Knox. On this date: • In 1836, inventor Samuel Colt patented his revolver. • In 1862, Nashville, Tenn., became the first Confederate state capital to be occupied by the North during the Civil War.
• In 1950, “Your Show of Shows,” starring Sid Caesar, Imogene Coca, Carl Reiner and Howard Morris, debuted on NBC-TV. • In 1973, the Stephen Sondheim musical “A Little Night Music” opened at Broadway’s Shubert Theater. • 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. • In 1991, during the Persian Gulf War, 28 Americans were killed when an Iraqi Scud missile hit a U.S. barracks in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. • Five years ago: An Associated
Press photograph of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama wearing traditional local garb during a 2006 visit to Kenya began circulating on the Internet. • One year ago: Lynn D. “Buck” Compton, 90, a veteran whose World War II exploits were depicted in the television miniseries “Band of Brothers,” died in Burlington, Wash. • Today’s Birthdays: Comedian Carrot Top is 46. Actress Lesley Boone is 45. Actor Sean Astin is 42. Singer Daniel Powter is 42. Latin singer Julio Iglesias Jr. is 40. Comedian-actress Chelsea Handler is 38. Actress Rashida Jones is 37.
Hathaway, Waltz win supporting-acting Oscars Editor’s Note: Complete results of Sunday’s Academy Awards were not available at press time. LOS ANGELES (AP) — Anne Hathaway has gone from propping up leaden sidekick James Franco at the Academy Awards to hefting a golden statue of her own with a supportingactress Oscar win as a doomed mother-turnedprostitute in the musical “Les Miserables.” Christoph Waltz won his second supporting-actor Oscar for a Tarantino film, this time as a genteel bounty hunter in the slave-revenge saga “Django Unchained.” Hathaway, whose perkiness helped carry her and the listless Franco through an ill-starred stint as Oscar hosts two years ago, is the third performer in a musical to win supporting actress during the genre’s resurgence in the last decade. “It came true,” said Hathaway, who joins 2002 supporting-actress winner Catherine Zeta-Jones for “Chicago” and 2006 recipient Jennifer Hudson for “Dreamgirls.” Hathaway had warm thanks for “Les Miz” co-star Hugh Jackman, with whom she once sang a duet at the Oscars when he was the show’s host. Hathaway’s Oscar came for her role as noble but fallen Fantine in the big-screen adaptation of the Broadway smash that was based on Victor Hugo’s epic novel of revolution, romance and redemption in 19th century France. In a choked voice, Waltz offered thanks to his character and “to his creator and the creator of his awe-inspiring world, Quentin Tarantino.” Waltz also offered gracious thanks to his supporting-actor competitors, who included two-time Oscar winner Robert De Niro and Oscar recipient Tommy Lee Jones, who had been considered a slim favorite over Waltz for the prize. A veteran performer in
Germany and his native Austria, Waltz had been a virtual unknown in Hollywood when Tarantino cast him as a gleefully evil Nazi in 2009’s “Inglourious Basterds,” which won him his first Oscar. Waltz has since done a handful of other Hollywood movies, but it’s Tarantino who has given him his two choicest roles. Backstage, Waltz had a simple explanation for why the collaboration works. “Quentin writes poetry, and I like poetry,” Waltz said. The foreign-language prize went to Austrian filmmaker Michael Haneke’s old-age love story “Amour,” which had been a major surprise with five nominations, including picture, director and original screenplay for Haneke and best actress for Emmanuelle Riva, who turned 86 on Sunday and would be the oldest acting winner ever. The top prize winner at last year’s Cannes Film Festival, “Amour” follows the agonizing story of an elderly man (Jean-Louis Trintignant) tending his wife (Riva) as she declines from age and illness. Haneke thanked his own wife for supporting him in his work for 30 years. “You are the center of my life,” Haneke said. The Scottish adventure “Brave,” from Disney’s Pixar Animation unit, was named best animated feature. Pixar films have won seven of the 12 Oscars since the category was added. The story of an dauntless princess (voiced by Kelly Macdonald) who balks at her parents’ attempts to marry her off, “Brave” won out over a strong field that included Disney’s “Wreck-It Ralph” and “Frankenweenie.” “I just happen to be wearing the kilt,” said “Brave” codirector Mark Andrews, who took the stage in his trademark Scottish garment. The upbeat musical portrait “Searching for Sugar Man” took the documentary
feature prize over a lineup of sober films that included the AIDS chronicle “How to Survive a Plague,” the military-rape critique “The Invisible War” and the Israel-Palestine studies “5 Broken Cameras” and “The Gatekeepers.” “Searching for Sugar Man” follows the quest of two South African fans to discover the fate of acclaimed but obscure singer-songwriter Sixto Rodriguez, who dropped out of sight after two albums in the 1970s and was rumored to have died a bitter death. “Thanks to one of the greatest singers ever, Rodriguez,” said “Sugar Man” director Malik Bendjelloul. There was a rare tie in one category, with the Osama bin Laden thriller “Zero Dark Thirty” and the James Bond tale “Skyfall” each winning for sound editing. Oscar host Seth MacFarlane opened with a mildly edgy monologue that offered the usual polite jabs at the academy, the stars and the industry. He took a poke at academy voters over the snub of Ben Affleck, who missed out on a directing nomination for best-picture favorite “Argo,” a thriller about the CIA’s plot to rescue six Americans during the Iranian hostage crisis. “The story was so top secret that the film’s director is unknown to the academy,” MacFarlane said. “They know they screwed up. Ben, it’s not your fault.” William Shatner made a guest appearance as his “Star Trek” character Capt. James Kirk, appearing on a giant screen above the stage during MacFarlane’s monologue, saying he came back in time to stop the host from ruining the Oscars. “Your jokes are tasteless and inappropriate, and everyone ends up hating you,” said Shatner, who revealed a headline supposedly from the next day’s newspaper that read, “Seth
MacFarlane worst Oscar host ever.” The performance-heavy Oscars also included an opening number featuring Charlize Theron and Channing Tatum, who did a classy dance while MacFarlane crooned “The Way You Look Tonight.” Daniel Radcliffe and Joseph Gordon-Levitt then joined MacFarlane for an elegant musical rendition of “High Hopes.” Oscar producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron lined up a top-notch cast of stars as presenters, including “The Avengers” co-stars Robert Downey Jr., Samuel L. Jackson, Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo and Jeremy Renner. They presented two prizes that went to the shipwreck tale “Life of Pi,” cinematography and visual effects. “This movie was quite a AP beast to make,” said cine- Anne Hathaway accepts the award for best actress in a matographer Claudio supporting role for "Les Miserables" during the Oscars Miranda, who shot dazzling at the Dolby Theatre on Sunday images for the story of a youth adrift on a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger.

CAUTION Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees). The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount. While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks. Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable. If you have questions regarding scams like these or others, please contact the Ohio Attorney General’s office at (800)282-0515.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — A big first for Danica Patrick, but an even bigger second for Jimmie Johnson. Patrick made history up front at the Daytona 500 Sunday, only to see Johnson make a late push ahead of her and reclaim his spot at the top of his sport. It was the second Daytona 500 victory for Johnson, a fivetime NASCAR champion who first won “The Great American Race” in 2006. “There is no other way to start the season than to win the Daytona 500. I’m a very lucky man to have won it twice,” said Johnson, who won in his 400th
February 25, 2013
career start. “I’m very honored to be on that trophy with all the greats that have ever been in our sport.” It comes a year after Johnson completed only one lap in the race because of a wreck that also collected Patrick, and just three months after Johnson lost his bid for a sixth Sprint Cup title to go two years without a championship after winning five straight. AP PHOTO Although he didn’t think he needed to send a message to his Daytona International Speedway president Joie Chitwood III, competitors “I don’t think we left, helps Jimmie Johnson with the trophy Johnson won the went anywhere; anybody in the Daytona 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series auto race Sunday at

COLUMBUS (AP) — All year long Ohio State’s fans wondered whether Aaron Craft one of the nation’s top defenders would ever make major contributions at the other end of the court. He picked the perfect time to finally break loose. Craft continually slashed through the lane for a careerhigh 21 points on Sunday more than he had scored in the last three games combined to lead the 18th-ranked Buckeyes to to a 68-60 victory over No. 4 Michigan State. “Give Aaron Craft credit. In the second half, he tore us apart,” Spartans coach Tom Izzo said. “It was Aaron Craft. He beat us every way you could beat us.” The pesty, bothersome junior defensive specialist hit 7 of 12 shots almost all of them on drives through a thicket of players in the paint. The loss crippled the Spartans’ hopes of catching up with top-ranked Indiana, which now leads the Big Ten race by two full games with four remaining. Freshman Gary Harris had 14 points, Derrick Nix 12 and Adreian Payne 12 points and 15 rebounds for the Spartans (22-6, 11-4), who have dropped two in a row after winning 11 of 12. It also boosted Ohio State’s flagging postseason resume. The Buckeyes came in having won just a single game in eight starts against teams in the Associated Press Top 25 but were 18-0 against unranked teams. Counting a 56-53 win over No. 2-ranked Michigan on Jan. 13, it was the first time that Ohio State has ever beaten two top-5 teams at home in the same season. No wonder the fans sang, “We don’t give a damn for the whole state of Michigan” in the final minutes. The big win came a week after the Buckeyes looked listless in an embarrassing 71-49 loss at Wisconsin. They took the

Blackhawks top Blue Jackets, push streak to 18 CHICAGO (AP) — Corey Crawford made 28 saves, and Andrew Shaw scored the only goal as the Chicago Blackhawks stretched their NHL-record, season-opening point streak to 18 games with a 1-0 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Sunday night. Crawford earned his seventh NHL shutout and second this season in his first start since
Feb. 12. He outdueled Columbus’ Steve Mason, who stopped 26 shots. Shaw provided all the offense in the second period for Blackhawks (15-0-3), who haven’t lost in regulation time this season and have earned 33 of 36 possible points. Chicago has won nine straight against Columbus, dating to Feb. 18, 2011.
The Blackhawks set the league record with at least one point in the first 17 games of a season when they beat San Jose 2-1 on Friday topping the 200607 Anaheim Ducks, who started 12-0-4. Crawford had been sidelined after he sustained an upper-body injury in a 3-2 shootout loss to Anaheim on Feb. 12. Ray Emery started and won four games in

Dice-K strong in Indians’ 3-0 win over Reds GOODYEAR, Ariz. — Daisuke (AP) Matsuzaka believes he can be the Dice-K of old, the one who mystified hitters with his unorthodox delivery and arsenal of deceptive pitches. The Indians just need him to a dependable fifth starter. Matsuzaka, nearly two years removed from Tommy John elbow surgery, pitched two hitless innings in blustery condi-
tions and seven Cleveland pitchers combined on a one-hitter, leading an Indians split squad to a 30 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday. Once a $100 million curiosity in Boston, Matsuzaka was limited to just 11 starts last season for the Red Sox, who parted ways with the 32-yearold after six seasons. With at least one spot open in their rotation, the Indians signed the Japanese
right-hander on Feb. 13 to a minor league contract, and will pay him $1.5 million if he’s added to the 40-man roster this spring. With winds gusting to 30 mph, Matsuzaka got off to a shaky start in his debut, hitting Cincinnati’s Ryan Hanigan with his first pitch before getting a double-play grounder on his second. He allowed a walk in his second inning, but otherwise looked solid during a 22-pitch outing,
barely a warmup for someone who once threw 250 pitches in a 17-inning game. Scouts sitting behind home plate with radar guns said Matsuzaka’s fastball topped out at 89 mph, but he’s not worried about his speed this early in camp. “That’s exactly where I expected my fastball to be at this stage,” he said through a translator as more than two dozen
Japanese media members waited to speak with one of their country’s biggest stars. “The more I throw and the deeper we go into spring training, I’m sure my velocity will also rise.” Matsuzaka went just 1-7 with 8.28 ERA last season for the Red Sox, but the Indians are hoping he can get somewhere close to being the pitcher who won 33 games in his first two seasons in the majors.

Kuchar wins Match Play
Daytona
MARANA, Ariz. (AP) — Even in the most stressful form of golf, Matt Kuchar and his easy smile made the Match Play Championship look like a weekend game with his buddies. It was fun when he built a 4-up lead at the turn. And when Hunter Mahan threw his best golf at him during a wild back nine Sunday at Dove Mountain, Kuchar never looked rattled, never felt as if the match belonged to anyone but him, and never lost the lead. Kuchar kept momentum on his side with four birdies on the back nine, the last conceded on the 17th hole for a 2-and-1 victory. He captured his first World Golf Championship and put his name in the conversation as among the most lethal players in match play. In his case, looks are deceiving. “Match play I find to be such an amazing, unique format, so much fun to play and so much pressure,” Kuchar said. “It seems like each hole there’s so much momentum riding and so much pressure on every hole. To come out on top after six matches of playing the top 64 guys in the world, it’s an incredible feeling.” Mahan, trying to join Tiger Woods as the only back-to-back winners of the Match Play Championship, had gone 169 holes without trailing dating to the opening round last year until Kuchar won the fourth hole of the championship with a par. Mahan never caught up, though it wasn’t from a lack of effort. Every time he cut into the deficit, Kuchar answered the challenge a 15-foot birdie putt on the 12th hole with Mahan in tight, and a 10-foot birdie putt on the 15th with Mahan poised to cut the lead to one hole. And he did it all with that warm smile on a day so frigid they traded golf hats for ski caps. “He does it differently,” said Mahan, who had to get past the ultra-intense Ian Poulter in the semifinals earlier Sunday. “He’s more like a fuzzier, Peter Jacobsen kind of guy who likes to talk. He’s super competitive, there’s no doubt about it. He plays golf to win, and he works hard at it. I think he really enjoys playing. When you play against him, you know what you’re going to get. You’re going to get a com-

He allowed Kuchar to win consecutive holes with pars, and Mahan fell further behind when Kuchar hit pitching wedge to 3 feet for birdie on the par-3 sixth and Mahan hit a poor second shot that kept him from matching birdies with Kuchar on the par-5 eighth. But even 4 down at the turn, there was never a dull moment on the back nine. For all the great shots in a 25 mph wind that felt harsh with the cool, desert air, the match ended with a thud. Kuchar was 1 up on the 17th hole when both drove into the bunker. Their golf balls were only a few feet apart, but Mahan’s had sunk slightly in the sand, making it difficult for him to get a clean hit. He came up woefully short, the ball rambling through the desert until it landed in a bush. It took him four shots to reach the green, and with
Kuchar only about 4 feet away, Mahan conceded the birdie and the match. “Just had a bad stretch against Matt on the front nine there that put me just a little bit too far behind,” Mahan said. Kuchar became the second player in the last three years to win the Match Play Championship without ever playing the 18th hole. Mahan nearly forced him to the final tee. He made a long two-putt par to win the 10th, and played a tough chip from the mound of a bunker to about 6 feet for a birdie on the next hole, cutting the lead in half. Mahan followed with a tee shot into about 10 feet on the par-3 12th, the momentum squarely on his side. Kuchar, however, followed with an 8-iron to just inside 15 feet and made the birdie putt. “The shot was certainly good, but the putt was really crucial, and when that went in, I felt like I was still in control of the match,” Kuchar said. “Had that putt
not gone in, it would have been only a 1-up lead, and I think the match was in anybody’s hands at that point.” On the par-5 13th, Mahan hit a poor approach from the fairway and Kuchar got up-and-down to restore his lead to 3 up. Kuchar came up with one more clutch shot. With a 2-up lead on the 304-yard 15th hole, the breeze at his back, Kuchar chipped about 10 feet past the hole with Mahan only 6 feet away for birdie. Kuchar holed the putt and escaped with a halve. Mahan won the 16th with a two-putt par when Kuchar’s tee shot bounced off the corporate tents behind the green, and it looked as though the match would go down the 18th for the first time in nine matches for Kuchar. Both hit into the fairway bunker on 17, but Mahan’s ball was slightly sunk in the sand, and his approach never came close to reaching the green. Instead, it rolled through a patch of desert until it lodged in a bush.
er Terry Francona can vividly remember those days when Dice-K was dealing. “His stuff across the board was solid,” said Francona, who won two World Series titles in Boston. “He had the ability like no other pitcher to wiggle out of jams. There could be bases loaded and nobody out, we’d be on the edge of our seat and he wasn’t. He got out of it like nobody’s business.”
■ CONTINUED FROM 13 garage area, they’re wise to all that,” Johnson said the win showed the No. 48 team is tired of coming up short after all those years of dominance. “Definitely a great start for the team. When we were sitting discussing things before the season started, we felt good about the 500,” Johnson said, “but we’re really excited for everything after the 500. I think it’s going to be a very strong year for us.” Patrick is hoping for her own success after a history-making race. The first woman to win the pole, Patrick also became the first woman to lead the race. She ran inside the top 10 almost the entire race, kept pace with the field and never panicked on the track. Her only mistakes were on pit road, where she got beat on the race back to the track, and on the final lap, when she was running third but got snookered by the veterans and faded to eighth. That’s going to stick with Patrick for some time. “I would imagine pretty much anyone would be kicking themselves about what they coulda, shoulda have done to give themselves an opportunity to win,” she said. “I think that’s what I was feeling today, was uncertainty as to how I was going to accomplish that.” There were several multicar crashes, but no one was hurt and none of them approached the magnitude of the wreck that injured more than two dozen fans in the grandstand at the end of the second-tier Nationwide Series race on the same track a day earlier. Daytona International Speedway workers were up until 2 a.m repairing the fence that was damaged in the accident, and track officials offered Sunday morning to move any fans who felt uneasy sitting too close to the track. Several drivers said the accident and concern for the fans stuck with them overnight and into Sunday morning, and Johnson was quick to send his thoughts from Victory Lane. “I just want to give a big shout-out to all the fans, and I also want to send my thoughts and prayers out to everybody that was injured in the grandstands,” Johnson said. Dale Earnhardt Jr., whose father was killed in this race 12 years ago, was
involved in Saturday’s accident but refocused and finished second to Johnson, his Hendrick Motorsports teammate. “Me personally, I was just really waiting to get the news on how everybody was, how all the fans were overnight, just hoping that things were going to improve,” Earnhardt said, adding that he “wasn’t really ready to proceed until you had some confirmation that things were looking more positive.” The race itself, the debut for NASCAR’s new Gen-6 car, was quite similar to all the other Cup races during Speedweeks in that the cars seemed to line up in a single-file parade along the top groove of the track. It made the 55th running of the Daytona 500 relatively uneventful. When the race was on the line, Johnson took off. The driver known as “Five-Time” raced past defending NASCAR champion Brad Keselowski on the final restart and pulled out to a sizable lead that nobody challenged over the final six laps. Johnson and Keselowski went down to the wire last season in their race for the Sprint Cup title, with Johnson faltering in the final two races as Keselowski won his first Cup championship. Although it was a bit of an upset that stuck with Johnson into the offseason, it gave him no extra motivation when he found himracing with self Keselowski late Sunday for the Daytona 500. “As far as racing with Brad out there, you really lose sight of who is in what car,” Johnson said. “It’s just somebody between you and the trophy. It could have been anybody.” Once Johnson cleared Keselowski on the last restart he had a breakaway lead with Greg Biffle and Patrick behind him. But as the field closed in on the checkered flag, Earnhardt finally made his move, just too late and too far behind to get close enough to the lead. Earnhardt wound up second for the third time in the last four years. But with all the crashes the Hendrick cars have endured in restrictor-plate races teammate Kasey Kahne was in the first accident Sunday team owner Rick Hendrick was just fine with the finish.
Appling, Ravenel, the only senior on Ohio State’s roster, was fouled and he hit both shots to push the lead to 65-60 with 1:13 left. With the Buckeyes still hanging on by five with 25 seconds left, Appling who was 1 for 6 from the field and had three turnovers and just one assist in 34 minutes drove to the basket but Ravenel came across and watted it away. The Spartans wouldn’t score again. Izzo said later that he’d never seen Craft so aggressive. The Spartans agreed on his impact on the game. “He played a terrific game,” Harris said. “He got
a lot of easy baskets at the rim. There were a lot of miscommunications by us at the defensive end.” Craft spread the praise to his teammates but said the Buckeyes had learned something from how passive they were earlier in a 56-53 loss at Michigan State. “We saw some things we thought we could take advantage of,” he said. “The first game I don’t think we did a good job of challenging their bigs. It really helps when guys are knocking down shots from the outside because it opens lanes up. We made some layups today.”

Buckeyes ■ CONTINUED FROM 13 step with a convincing 7145 win over Minnesota before topping the Spartans. “We beat two really, really good basketball teams,” coach Thad Matta said. “Minnesota at one point this year was in the top 10 and these guys were No. 4 in the country. This was a big week for us home, away, wherever especially coming off of that game last week.” Deshaun Thomas added 12 of his 14 points in the second half for the Buckeyes (20-7, 10-5), who stand fifth in the conference. Evan Ravenel added 10 points and a crucial
block in the final minute. Michigan State led 3627 after a Payne jumper from the left baseline early in the second half which all but quieted a crowd of 18,809. But the Buckeyes didn’t back down, scoring 18 of the next 23 points to take the lead for good. With Lenzelle Smith Jr. and Thomas hitting 3s and Amir Williams, a Detroit native, dunking inside and then completing the threepoint play, the Buckeyes scored points in transition, played tenacious defense and kept up on the boards to take the lead, 45-40. After a Nix free throw
temporarily ended the spell, Ohio State continued its onslaught. LaQuinton Ross poured in a 3 from in front of the Buckeyes bench off an assist pass from Craft. Ravenel added a free throw before Craft once again sped through the heart of Michigan State’s defense for a layup in traffic to push the lead to 51-41 with under 9 minutes left. Craft has not provided much offense all year for an Ohio State team that has been begging for a scorer to back up Thomas. Against a Michigan State team which prides itself on its defense, and with quality defenders
on the perimeter, he seemed to always be racing to the rack with no one in front of him. “The game came down to us defending,” Izzo said. “That’s what we’re usually pretty good at and we’re not very good right now.” Craft, with just 17 points in the last three games, hadn’t hit double digits in half of the Buckeyes’ 14 conference games. Two foul shots apiece by Nix, Payne and Harris pulled the Spartans to 6159, but Craft sped by Keith Appling for a lunging layup with 2:22 left. After a free throw by

Irish hammer Bearcats SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Notre Dame is hoping its stellar defense and rebounding can lead it to a Big East title. The 25th-ranked Irish once again dominated on the boards and held their opponent to a low shooting percentage in a 62-41 win Sunday over Cincinnati. “I thought we did a great job staying in front of people who wanted to beat us off the dribble, and we did a great job keeping it to one-and-done,” said Notre Dame coach Mike Brey. “Maybe we’re finding our identity here on that defensive end of the floor and rebounding the basketball.” Notre Dame’s conference title hopes looked slim a month ago when team captain Scott Martin went out with a knee injury. But in his absence the team has gone 7-2, trailing conference leader Georgetown by two games, with tough road games remaining against Marquette and Louisville, both of whom are tied for second place. “We’re in the middle of this thing, and let’s keep going,” Brey said. The Irish (22-6, 10-5) had four players score in double figures. Jerian Grant led them with 13 points, followed by Tom Knight with 12, and Jack Cooley and Eric Atkins with 11. Grant shot just 2-of-9 from the field but was perfect from the free-throw line, hitting a season-high nine from the stripe. Unlike their last game against Pittsburgh, when they managed only one field goal over the first 9 minutes, the Irish started hot, hitting their first four attempts. Cincinnati, by contrast, converted just 3 of their first 15 shots, and finished the first half shooting 7-of-25, or 28 percent. The Bearcats (19-9, 7-8) weren’t much more accurate in the second half, finishing the game at 32 percent shooting. Notre Dame on Feb. 18 held No. 20 Pittsburgh to 35 percent from the field and outrebounded the Panthers 40-25 to key a 5142 road win. On Sunday Pat Connaughton’s 3 from the corner, falling through the net just two seconds before the first-half buzzer, gave the Irish a 29-15 lead at the break. Notre Dame scored the first five points of the second half, off a fastbreak layup by Atkins and a 3 by the point guard, stretching their lead to 19, the largest of the game up to that point. That prompted another timeout by Cronin, and the Bearcats seemed poised for a rally. Coming out of the timeout, they reeled off a 9-0 run over a nearly four-minute span, including two layups and free throw by Parker, and reduced the lead to 11, at 39-28. But the Irish regained control with a 3 by freshman Cameron Biedscheid, launching into a 11-4 run punctuated by a two-handed flush by Cooley off an Atkins feed, and increasing their lead back to 18 at 5032. JaQuon Parker led Cincinnati with 12 points. “We got beat, beat real bad,” Parker said. “We made a nice little run in the second half, but started giving up threes.” Notre Dame often double-teamed guard Sean Kilpatrick, who was averaging 18 points per game, holding him to just six points. “The important thing for us was running him off the three-point line,” Grant said. “About 70 percent of his shots are three’s, so we forced him into tough two’s in order to stop him.”

Heat blows big lead, then holds off Cavaliers
■ CONTINUED FROM 13 title for Troy Christian, which finished as state runner-ups last year. Covington has three state qualifiers and four alternates, while Miami East senior Allen Seagraves will be returning to Columbus for the fourth time in four years. • Eagles Flyin’ High Troy Christian’s B.J. Toal (182-pounds) and Jordan Marshall (152) will both be looking to repeat as state champions. But both of their district title matches Sunday were against top-notch state contenders. Toal outlasted Greeneview’s Armani Robinson — who finished as state runnerup at 170 a season ago — for a 3-2 decision. Marshall faced off against the undefeated Zach Wilson (45-0) of Bluffton. Wilson would leave with his first loss of the season as Marshall held him off for a 5-2 victory. Marshall and Wilson’s match was a rematch of last years’ district final, which Marshall won on his way to becoming the state champ. “They made a big deal last year because we were both undefeated coming in here,” Marshall said. “I knew he doesn’t wrestle our schedule; he doesn’t go to Brecksville, doesn’t go to Ironman — he just wrestles the same kids every time. He probably wrestles these kids three or four times each coming in here. So he knows how to wrestle them. This is my first time seeing most of them. We’re up north, going to Cleveland. That’s what we wanted to do, go up there and win, then come down here and show everyone what we can do.” In the semis, Toal beat Bluffton’s Josiah Conley, while Marshall scored a 22-7 tech fall victory over Northridge’s Josh Lyttle. Those Eagles were not the only champions, though. Garrett Hancock (120) pinned Deer Park’s Tyler Goodpaster in the semis, then beat Logan Lacure of Greeneview, 11-7, in the finals. Jared Ganger (113) — who was the state runnerup last season as a freshman — was upset by Dayton Christian’s Christian Clary in the semis. Clary went on to win the district title, while Ganger won his next two matches by pin — including his win over Wayne Trace’s Dustin Taylor in the thirdplace consolation match. After Mayabb (132) finished fourth at sectional, everything seemed to come together him this weekend at district. The freshman upset two high seeds on Saturday, then eared a spot in the finals by pinning Dayton Christian’s Alex Becker in the semis. Though Mayabb put forth a gutty effort in the finals, he ultimately fell to Carlisle’s Jason Sadlin by a 10-2 major decision. Mayabb credited a good week of practice for his turnaround after placing fourth at sectional. “It’s probably just from

Miami East’s Allen Seagraves placed third Sunday at district. Seagraves earned his fourth trip to the state wrestling meet in four tries. practice,” Mayabb said. “I mean, we learned what we did wrong, corrected it, and used it like we were supposed to out there.” Davie (106) was the only Eagle who found himself in the consolation round after Saturday. Davie battled his way through Sunday, beating Coldwater’s Jay Uhlenhake in the consolation semis to guarantee himself a spot at state. Davie lost by a 7-1 decision against Wayne Trace’s George Clemens in the third-place bout. “A year ago, our old coach, Steve Goudy, said, ‘Zach, we need you more than ever, because we’ve been getting second in state for the last couple years.’ Steve Goudy came up to me and had a big talk with me and he said, ‘Zach, we’re going to need you now more than ever’. It’s been year since he told me that, and I’m going to state. I made it. Now the next thing is to place so we can be first as a team. That’s my goal.” The Eagles totaled 135.5 points for the tournament, holding off the likes of Dayton Christian (127) and Covington (110), which finished second and third, respectively. And Troy Christian hopes to ride that momentum toward a state title next weekend. “We’ve been working hard and it’s paying off,” Hancock said. “We’re all going to Columbus next week, and we’re going to do the same thing there that we did here.” • Buccs Breakdown Covington followed its first sectional title since 1986 with a third-place finish at district. And the Buccs got a few state qualifiers in the process. A.J. Ouellette must live for the postseason. Just last spring he was competing deep into track season, then this past fall, he was the running back on the Buccs football team, which lost in the regional final. On Sunday, Ouellette earned his first trip to the state wrestling meet.
• Seagraves 3rd, Rush 5th Allen Seagraves admitted he felt a little cheated in his 6-5 loss to Greeneview’s Logan Lacure, who ended up losing in the finals to Hancock. “I already beat him (Lacure) 7-2 this year, and then I lost to him a couple times last year,” Seagraves said. “It doesn’t matter, next week is what matters. If I see him again, I’ll be ready.” And Seagraves was ready to wash that sour taste of his mouth on Sunday. The Miami East senior dominated his way through the consolation bracket Sunday, earning a spot in third-place match, where he defeated Allen East’s Tyler Baker by an 18-2 tech fall. The four-time state qualifier said following his victory that wants to end his career on the podium next week at state. It would be the icing on the cake for his career at East. “I want to get to the finals,” Seagraves said. “The main thing is I want to place. I have been there for the last years, and haven’t placed. Any place would be fine, but I want to get to the finals.” The Vikings had all six wrestlers left after Saturday, but along with Seagraves, Austin Rush (132) was the only other to reach a consolation final. Rush won his final match of the season, pinning Madeira’s Alvi Ibarra to become a state alternate.

After falling in the semis to Greeneview’s Robinson, Ouellette won his thirdplace consolation match over Josiah Conley, 8-1. “It feels pretty great,” Ouellette said. “Everybody has been congratulating me and stuff. It feels good, so now, I’m going to have to come back next year.” Joining him at state next week will be Daniel Jennings (145) and Jake Sowers (152), who both placed fourth in their classes. Jennings won three matches Sunday, before losing in the consolation finals to Deer Park’s Austin Siemon by default. Sowers also won three matches, then lost a 9-3 decision in the conso finals. A pair of Buccs state qualifiers from last season — Kyler Deeter (160) and Brian Olson (195) — got knocked out Sunday, which came as a surprise to many people at the tournament. Olson and Deeter both rebounded to earn spots in the battle for fifth place, and both came out on top. Olson won by an 11-3 major decision over Jack Huffman of Lima Central Catholic and Deeter pinned Catholic Central’s Cameron Luther. Ben Miller (170) won by default over Carlisle’s Nick Svarda to secure fifth-place and Ryan Ford also placed fifth, beating Carlisle’s Jordan McKnight by a 14-5 major decision. All of the fifth-place finishers will be state alternates.
But it did work out for us. Got an extra possession, DWade was able to turn the corner and get a slam.” Said Heat coach Erik Spoelstra: “I liked that play.” Wade started what turned into a 16-4 run with a fadeaway with just under 5 minutes to go, then added a three-point play on the next Miami possession to cut the Cavs’ lead to 97-94. And after Irving missed a layup with 1:35 left, Wade got the rebound and set up Battier for a 3-pointer that put Miami on top again and for good. “I thought that we had the game,” Cavaliers forward Alonzo Gee said. Sure looked like that was the case, after a ridiculously good third quarter. Down 68-46 early in the third, the Cavaliers looked finished last-place team, on the road, against the reigning NBA champions who just happened to have the league’s longest current winning streak. Midway through the third, Miami’s lead was still 17. With two minutes left in the period, the cushion was 10. By the start of the fourth, it was nonexistent. The C.J. Miles Show lasted for all of 63 seconds. And they were a scintillating 63 seconds. It starts with 1:35 left, a 3-pointer from Miles getting the Miami lead down to seven. Then he got a rebound, came downcourt and connected on another 3-pointer. Lead down to four. Another stop by the Cavs on one end, then another 3-pointer for Miles on the other that one coming both with him drawing a foul from Chalmers, and with Spoelstra getting hit with a technical from referee Ed Malloy for arguing. Miles made the technical free throw to tie the game, the free throw for the Chalmers hit to put the Cavs ahead, and they carried that 82-81 lead into the fourth, having closed the quarter on a 36-13 run. “Guys just finally decided to start playing,” Miles said. Miami used a 23-4 run in the first half to take what looked like a commanding 42-22 lead with more than 9 minutes left until the break. And after Cleveland got within seven, Miami answered with another burst. James didn’t miss in the final 4:29 of the half, scoring 10 points on a 4-for-4 run from the floor and fueling what became 16-5 spurt that gave Miami a 64-46 lead going into the locker room. And for good measure, Miami got the first two baskets of the second half, pushing the lead to 22, the biggest of the night.

MIAMI (AP) — Dwyane Wade got hot down the stretch, and LeBron James missed a layup in the final minute. Both were huge breaks for the Miami Heat. James scored 28 points, Wade scored 11 of his 24 in the final five minutes when Miami needed him most and the Heat extended the NBA’s longest current winning streak to 11 games, beating the Cleveland Cavaliers 109-105 in a back-and-forth matchup Sunday night. The Heat blew a 22point second-half lead then rallied from eight down with 5:16 left. “We’re a veteran ballclub and we’ve been in every situation that an NBA game can offer us,” James said. “We don’t get too high, we don’t get too low, we just play the 48 minutes out and see where it takes us.” Dion Waiters scored 26 points, C.J. Miles added 19 and Kyrie Irving scored 17 for Cleveland, which outscored Miami by a stunning 30 points over a 17minute stretch of the second half, yet still came up empty. The Cavaliers are now 1-8 against the Heat since James signed with Miami in July 2010. “We had a very good chance against a very good basketball team, the world champions, and we lost the game because of mental mistakes,” Cavaliers coach Byron Scott said. “That’s just something that we can’t have happen again.” In fairness, it wasn’t just mental mistakes that doomed Cleveland late. There was a bit of luck involved for the Heat. Miami was up by two and held possession with 1:03 remaining. The shot clock was running down and Chris Bosh was open to try a 16-footer from the right wing. As Bosh was about to release, James got inexplicably free under the basket, thrusting both his arms skyward. Bosh threw him the pass and James, enjoying the best shooting season of his career, did the unthinkable: He missed the easy one. This is where the luck comes into play. The rebound found its way back to Bosh, the Heat ran down another shot clock, and Wade got loose for a two-handed dunk that pushed Miami’s lead to 105-101 with 24.4 seconds left. It was a double-whammy for Cleveland. Miami scored and took nearly 40 seconds off a dwindling clock in the process. “Hey, I’m a smart player. That’s what basketball IQ is all about,” James said afterward, unable to hold back a sly grin. “I have no idea how I blew that layup.
JOHANNESBURG (AP) — The murder case involving Olympic star Oscar Pistorius took another unexpected turn Sunday with the news that his older brother, Carl, is himself facing charges for the death of a woman in a traffic accident. Carl Pistorius faces a charge of unlawful, negligent killing for a 2008 road death, “in which a woman motorcyclist sadly lost her life,” Kenneth Oldwage, the Pistorius family lawyer said on Sunday. The accident happened in Vanderbijlpark, south of Johannesburg. The charge of “culpable homicide” was dropped and then reinstated and will be challenged in court, the lawyer told The Associated Press. It is the second time someone associated with the Pistorius case has been found to face a serious charge that has been dropped and then reinstat-
ed. It was revealed that the chief police investigator in the case is facing charges of seven counts of attempted murder for shooting at a vehicle with seven passengers. Following the revelations, Hilton Botha was removed from the Pistorius investigation and a new chief detective was appointed on Thursday. To drop and then reinstate charges is “not uncommon in South African criminal law. The law specifically makes provision to allow charges to be dropped and then to be reinstated as a result of further investigations,” said Jacob van Garderen, director of Lawyers for Human Rights. “It is a practical procedure, a process that is there to assist both sides.” In another twist this weekend, model Reeva Steenkamp, who was shot to death by Oscar Pistorius on
Valentine’s Day was on television again in a new episode of the reality show “Tropika Island of Treasure 5” even though she was buried last Tuesday. Today, Oscar Pistorius must report to the police station in Brooklyn, a suburb of the nation’s capital Pretoria, and sign in, a twice-weekly procedure which is part of his bail conditions. Pistorius was released on bail Friday and stayed at the home of his uncle Arnold in Waterkloof, an affluent suburb of Pretoria, where Oscar is now staying. His brother, Carl, came to visit the house Sunday. The problem confronting his older brother Carl is the latest complication in a case that has transfixed South Africa and much of the world. “It’s also doubly sad because it’s involved with Oscar and his brother and
all the family so they have double sort of trouble,” said Johannesburg resident Jim Plester. Lawyer Oldwage said that “Carl deeply regrets the accident” and that a blood test showed he was not drunk at the time. He said the charges had initially been dropped, only to be reinstated later. Oscar Pistorius was charged with premeditated murder, but the athlete says he killed his girlfriend accidentally, opening fire after mistaking her for an intruder in his home. The character of Pistorius also continued to take center stage. For many, it mirrors his public appearances as an articulate, wellspoken advocate for Paralympic athletes facing hardship. Witness statements describing Pistorius as a down-to-earth guy were presented at the hearing.
