Musharraf back in Pakistan Former President Pervez Musharraf returned home Sunday hoping to make a political comeback despite Taliban death threats and looming arrest warrants. But judging by the lackluster crowd at the airport to greet him, his biggest challenge could be his waning popularity. See Page 9.
Bodybuilding legend Joe Weider dies Joe Weider, a legendary figure in bodybuilding who helped popularize the sport worldwide and played a key role in introducing a charismatic young weightlifter named Arnold Schwarzenegger to the world, died Saturday.

Tipp woman finds her calling in Christian theater BY KATHY ORDING Staff Writer kording@civitasmedia.com Susan Furlong is certain she has found her calling in life. The writer and director of two Easter dramas to be presented during this Holy Week at Troy First United Methodist Church said Christian theater is her key to contentment. “This is what I love. This is it. This is what I was meant to do,” the Tipp City resident said. “I really believe that. It makes me very happy.” “The Twelve Seats at the Table,” which will be presented in the church sanctuary at 7 p.m. Thursday, was co-written by Furlong and fellow church member Marilee Lake, their first foray into writing together, nearly two decades ago. “In the mid-1990s we were attending another church in Tipp City and we’d heard about a similar Maundy Thursday play in Greenville, read it and didn’t like it. We thought, ‘We can do better,’” Furlong recalled. “So, she took half the disciples and I took the other half. We wrote these monologues, and we had never written together before. But then, about six weeks later, we thought, we’ll exchange, and see if we can make them work. “We didn’t have to do anything. They fit together like gloves. It was just amazing,” said Furlong, an admitted “big city girl” who moved to Tipp City 43 years ago when she married her husband, Greg, and was hired to teach in the Tipp City schools. “I moved to Tipp City, with one stop light that goes on flasher at 11, and I’m thinking, ‘What am I doing here?’ But now you could not get me out of

The drama is based on the Leonardo da Vinci painting of the Last Supper, and seeks to humanize the disciples and to provoke the audience to reflect on their own faith. “These were all real people, real men, with fears and doubts and expectations, just like peo-

WASHINGTON (AP) — Two of the loudest voices in the gun debate say it’s up to voters now to make their position known to Congress. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and National Rifle Associate Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre claim their opposing views on guns have the support of the overwhelming number of Americans. They are looking at the next two weeks as critical to the debate, when lawmakers head home to hear from constituents ahead of next month’s anticipated Senate vote on gun control. Bloomberg, a former Republican-turnedindependent, has just sunk $12 million for Mayors Against Illegal Guns to run television ads and phone banks in 13 states urging voters to tell their senators to pass legislation requiring universal background checks for gun buyers. “We demanded a plan and then we demanded a vote. We’ve got the plan, we’re going to get the vote. And now it’s incumbent on us to make our voices heard,” said Bloomberg. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Thursday that legislation would likely be debated in his chamber next month that will include expanded federal background checks, tougher laws and stiffer sentences for gun trafficking and increased school safety grants. A ban on assault-style weapons was dropped from the bill, fearing it would sink the broader bill. But Reid has

in Kansas City to be concerned, as the snow didn’t affect the NCAA men’s tournament schedule. “The snow is not an issue,” said Wynn Butler, 62, of Manhattan, Kan., who was in town with his daughter, a University of Kansas graduate, to watch her alma mater take on North Carolina.
He said his car is in a parking garage, and he can walk from his hotel to the Sprint Center. Butler also figures the roads will be clear before they leave after the game, which was scheduled to start late Sunday afternoon. “We are right in between the bad weather,” he said.

PepsiCo says it's not hungry for a big snack deal NEW YORK (AP) — PepsiCo Inc. says it isn't interested in any big acquisitions after a report suggested a mega-snack food deal could bring its Doritos under the same roof as Oreos. The Purchase, N.Y., company, which dominates the salty snack market with Frito-Lay, issued a short statement Friday after the Telegraph newspaper of London said activist investor Nelson Peltz could push it to merge with Mondelez, which is known for sweets including Cadbury and Nabisco.

But Furlong knows where the credit goes for her success. “I’ve done a lot of this stuff, but really it was God who did all this. I just happened to be standing in the way,” she said.
serve until 2016. That deal unraveled in recent days, prompting the insurgents’ advance into Bangui and Bozize’s departure to a still unpublicized location. Witnesses and an adviser to Bozize said rebel trucks were traveling throughout the town on Sunday hours after the palace was seized. Former colonial power France confirmed the developments, issuing a statement that said French President Francois Hollande “has taken note of the departure of President Francois Bozize.”
• CONTINUED FROM 1 said that he would allow the ban to be voted on separately as an amendment. President Barack Obama called for a vote on the assault weapons ban in his radio and Internet address Saturday. Recalling the horrific shooting three months ago at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school that left 20 first graders and six school administrators dead, Bloomberg said it would be a great tragedy if Congress, through inaction, lost the moment to make the country safer from gun violence. Bloomberg said that 90 percent of Americans and 80 percent of NRA members support universal background checks for gun purchases. “I don’t think there’s ever been an issue where the public has spoken so clearly, where Congress hasn’t eventually understood and done the right thing,” Bloomberg said. But the NRA’s LaPierre counters that universal background checks are “a dishonest premise.” For example, mental health records are exempt from databases and criminals won’t submit to the checks. Background checks, he said, are a “speed bump” in the system that “slows down the law-abiding and does nothing for anybody else.” “The shooters in Tucson, in Aurora, in Newtown, they’re not going to be checked. They’re unrecognizable,” LaPierre said. He was referring to the 2011 shooting in a Tucson shopping center that killed six and wounded 13, including former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, and the July assault in a suburban Denver movie theater that killed 12 and injured 70. In both instances, as well as in the Newtown killings, the alleged shooters used military-style assault rifles with high-capacity ammunition magazines. LaPierre slammed Bloomberg for the ad buy. “He’s going to find out this is a country of the people, by the people, and for the people. And he can’t spend enough of his
$27 billion to try to impose his will on the American public,” LaPierre said, adding, “He can’t buy America.” “Millions of people” from across the country are sending the NRA “$5, $10, $15, $20 checks, saying stand up to this guy,” LaPierre said, referring to Bloomberg. LaPierre said the NRA supports a bill to get the records of those adjudicated mentally incompetent and dangerous into the background check system for gun dealers, better enforcement of federal gun laws and beefed up penalties for illegal thirdparty purchases and gun trafficking. Shortly after the Newtown shooting, LaPierre called for armed security guards in schools as well. LaPierre would like to see Congress pass a law that “updates the system and targets those mentally incompetent adjudicated into the system” and forces the administration to enforce the federal gun laws. “It won’t happen until the national media gets on the administration and calls them out for their incredible lack of enforcement of these laws,” LaPierre said. In Colorado, a state with a pioneer tradition of gun ownership and self-reliance, Gov. John Hickenlooper just signed bills requiring background checks for private and online gun sales. The legislation also would ban ammunition magazines that hold more than 15 rounds. “After the shootings last summer in the movie theater, we really focused on mental health first then universal background checks,” Hickenlooper said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” ”I think the feeling right now around assault weapons, at least in Colorado, is that they’re so hard to define what an assault weapon is.” Hickenlooper said he met with a group of protesters against the bills in Grand Junction, Colo., were “very worried about government keeping a centralized database, which I assured them wasn’t going to happen.” The protesters, he added, view the background checks as “just the first step in trying to take guns away.”

dumping 6 to 10 inches of snow. The system then will move into Ohio on Sunday night, bringing between 5 to 9 inches, Hawblitzel said. The storm is expected to weaken as it moves into Pennsylvania late Sunday and into Monday, with totals ranging from 3 to 8 inches. Before it exits off the coast of New Jersey on Monday night, the storm could leave 1 to 3 inches in southern New York and New Jersey. “It’s definitely a widehitting system,” Hawblitzel said.
Central African Republic president overthrown BANGUI, Central African Republic (AP) — Rebels overthrew Central African Republic’s president of a decade on Sunday, seizing the presidential palace and declaring that the desperately poor country has “opened a new page in its history.” The country’s president fled the capital, while extra French troops moved to secure the airport, officials said. The rebels’ invasion of the capital came just two months after they had signed a peace agreement that would have let President Francois Bozize
“Christian theater is different. Christian theater is coming through you to them. And once you experience that difference, it’s really hard to go back. Secular theater seems almost pointless. It’s so egocentric.” Furlong and Lake also are in charge of the children’s choir at Troy First United Methodist, and both write and perform as members of Lightreaders, a music and drama outreach ministry they helped found in 2004.

and my brother and I kimonos from Japan,” Furlong said. “We spent weeks — I wrote this little play, directed it, and the neighborhood kids and we put on the show with these kimonos.” It was the beginning of a lifetime of writing and acting, talents Furlong put to use in the classroom, too. “I taught first grade and fourth grade. We always did some sort of a little play,” she said. “I remember my first graders, it was an accelerated class, and we read a watered down version of ‘Oliver Twist.’ Then we wrote a little play, and made little paper cos-
tumes and put it on for the parents.” Her talents led her to community theater, too. “The very first time I was on stage in community theater, with the Tipp Players, I got on stage — I was in the chorus — and I wanted to play all the parts. “So, now I write, I direct, I get to play all the parts. It’s just something I just love to do,” Furlong said. These days, she limits herself to Christian productions, because she finds them more satisfying. “When you’re in secular theater, you’re on stage trying to draw something from the audience to you,” Furlong said.

Baseball is a bat-and-ball sport played between two teams of nine players. The aim is to score runs by hitting a thrown ball with a bat and touching a series of four bases arranged at the corners of a 90-foot diamond. Players on the batting team take turns hitting against the pitcher of the fielding team, which tries to prevent runs by getting hitters out in any of several ways. A player on the batting team can stop at any of the bases and later advance via a teammate's hit or other means. The teams switch between batting and fielding whenever the fielding team records three outs. One turn at bat for each team constitutes an inning and nine innings make up a professional game. The team with the most runs at the end of the game wins. Evolving from older bat-and-ball games, an early form of baseball was being played in England by the mid-18th The baseball diamond at Wrigley Field, Chicago century. This game was brought by immigrants to North America, where the modAmerica, parts of Central and South professional Major League Baseball ern version developed. By the late 19th America and the Caribbean, and parts of (MLB) teams are divided into the century, baseball was widely recognized East Asia. National League (NL) and American as the national sport of the United States. In the United States and Canada, League (AL), each with three divisions: Baseball now is popular in North East, West and Central. The major league champion is determined by playoffs that culminate in the World Series. Five teams make the playoffs from each league: the three regular season division winners, plus two wild card teams. Baseball is the leading team sport in both Japan and Cuba, and the top level of play is similarly split between two leagues: Japan's Central League and Pacific League; Cuba's West League and East League. In the National and Central leagues, the pitcher is required to bat, per the traditional rules. In the American, Pacific and both Cuban leagues, there is a 10th player, a designated hitter, who bats for the pitcher. Each top-level team has a farm system of one or more minor league teams.
Alexander Cartwright (1820-1892) of New York invented the modern baseball field in 1845. Alexander Cartwright and the members of his New York Knickerbocker Base Ball Club devised the first rules and regulations that were accepted for the modern game of baseball.
Ground ball – A baseball that is hit on the ground. Also called a "grounder." Hit and run – A baseball play where the base runner begins to run when the pitch is released. It's the batter's responsibility to hit the baseball into play so the runner will not get out. This gives the base runner a head start.

in Sunday’s Miami Valley Sunday News.
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
AS I SEE IT
Gay rights? Or are gays being wronged? BY APRIL KISSINGER Edison Community College Student The Declaration of Independence states that, “All men are created equal.” In absolute terms of interpretation, women are not created equal to men. Women were considered for many years to be the inferior sex, “property” of their husbands and were not permitted to hold assets of any kind. Men were even permitted to punish their wives, by physical force if necessary. There have been many important amendments to the Constitution that oppressed Americans have had to fight to receive. Some have lost their lives in the process of achieving them. Three of the most important amendments deal with basic human rights. Amendment XIII in 1865 abolished slavery. Amendment XV gave people of color the right to vote in 1870; women did not receive this right until 1920 when Amendment XIX went into effect. There is a current debate being conducted for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Questioning community to obtain rights, including marriage, which have already been granted to heterosexuals. A Gallup poll in 2012 showed nine out of ten people report being supportive of homosexuals and their rights. The same poll reports: 53 percent of Americans support same-sex marriage, 16 percent of Americans support civil unions, and 75 percent support gay rights along with their privileges. The federal government is ignoring the desires and opinions of its constituents by failing to allow gays and lesbians to legally marry. Marriage is defined as “the state of being united to a person of the opposite sex as husband and wife in a consensual, contractual relationship recognized by law; the state of being united to a person of the same sex in a relationship like that of a traditional marriage.” The first amendment guarantees the right to freedom of oppression through religion. Therefore, religion should not be used as a means to oppress homosexuals to prevent marriage. Marriage should be recognized by the government through civil ceremonies, which have no religious foundation, and no restriction on sexual preference or orientation. Many believe that being homosexual is a choice, or a conditioned environmental response. There has never been any indication of the opposing viewpoint that individuals chose to be heterosexual, or were made that way through their environment. No one makes a conscious choice to be homosexual or heterosexual. No one would make a decision to put themselves through the torturous process of defining themselves as homosexual without necessity. Recent scientific data collected substantiates that homosexuality starts from conception, through biological processes. The theory that homosexuality is a birth defect is defunct; it is a natural occurring event remaining at a constant rate worldwide affecting approximately 10 percent of the population. Gays and lesbians desire the same things as heterosexuals: marriage, family, stability, financial security, and liberty. Homosexuals represent no threat to the American “way of life”. It has been argued that homosexuality is wrong because there is an inability to reproduce. There are many unwanted, abused and neglected children worldwide who need a family to call their own, created by people who were able to reproduce. Homosexuality is not “catching”, and many heterosexually oriented children have been raised by homosexual couples. There is no shortage of marriage licenses, and homosexual marriage will not prevent religiously backed marriage by the heterosexual community. The LGBTQ community is currently employing guaranteed first amendment rights. They are using speech, the press, assembly and petitions to obtain what should be a basic human right: marriage. Religion is directly in the way of achieving this goal. This is in opposition to the first amendment which guarantees freedom of oppression through religion. The first amendment does not say that it only applies to heterosexual citizens. The foundation for denying gay marriage is invalid and should be discarded immediately. Once again an oppressed group has to fight for their rights. How many of them will pay the ultimate price with their life to achieve it?
EDITORIAL ROUNDUP San Francisco Chronicle on the Iraq war not being the answer: It’s not an anniversary that inspires public ceremonies or reflection, though it should. Ten years ago, the United States launched the Iraq War, an invasion that cost thousands of lives and hundreds of billions of dollars and squandered this nation’s worldwide leadership. American troops left a year ago, but the war lingers in countless ways. Wounded veterans need help. Military spending deepened a national debt that totals $15 trillion. Iraq remains a fragile and violent place. The terrorist scourge,
nominally the cause of the war, endures. A Gallup poll out this week found that barely half the nation, some 53 percent, think the war was a mistake, down from 63 percent five years ago. No one likes to dwell on the bad memories, it seems. Recalling the reasons for the war should remind Americans how unfounded the cause was. There was no Iraqi connection to al-Qaida as President George W. Bush’s team suggested. Nor were there weapons of mass destruction as intelligence experts predicted. Finally, the Middle East didn’t embrace democracy after the U.S. invasion toppled Saddam
Hussein. The Arab Spring uprisings, which came years later, didn’t feature posters or chants praising American troops sweeping into Baghdad. If the Iraq War seems like ancient history, think again. The experience undercuts American resolve to end the slaughter in Syria. The overboard cost of the Iraqi conflict deepens this country’s financial future. The decision to invade, made with minimal support from a handful of allies, will strain this country’s stature for years. If anything, the Iraq War produced yet another cautionary tale on the limits of military power.

DOONESBURY
The truth is stranger than fiction ... sometimes History can be a tricky thing. One man’s freedom fighter is another man’s terrorist. One man’s hero is another man’s traitor. It all depends on how you look at things. Sometimes it’s really hard to know what really happened. The history of words can be like that, too. I recently heard a story about the word “sincere.” Apparently, this comes from the words “without wax.” It comes from way back when people who made pottery sometimes created things that had cracks. So they would fill the cracks with wax and then paint over them. Hence, someone who could honestly say his pots were without wax — in Latin, “sine cera” — was someone to do business with. Or maybe not. I looked it up and one site said there was no truth to the story. Or maybe so after all. I looked it up somewhere else and they said it was true. Since it’s a good story, I decided to believe it. Here are some other intriguing word stories that may or may not be true: • Computer bug. Back in the early days of computers an actual bug crawled into a computer, and
David Lindeman Troy Daily News Columnist got squashed in a relay switch, knocking out the computer. This is a great tale and it may be true, but the word “bug” had been used as a term to describe a problem to be solved at least as far back as Edison’s day. And while Edison was one smart guy, he didn’t do computers. • Since it’s March Madness time, I thought it would be interesting to see about the word “tournament.” It comes from the days of knights and jousting, when armed men on horseback would ride away from each other, then turn and ride full tilt at each other in attempt to knock each other off their mounts. This was slightly less dangerous than driving the lane is in college basketball today. Anyway, the French verb for “turn”
was torneier, which became the root for tournament. • And how do we get seeds in a tournament? “Seeding” came from tennis and the idea of spreading certain players out to prevent them from meeting early in the tournament — just like spreading seeds in a field. There don’t appear to be any early words to describe how your highly seeded team gets defeated by Florida Gulf Coast. • Since we’re on the March Madness theme, how about the word “upset,” of which there were quite a few last weekend. The legendary horse Man o’ War lost only one race in his illustrious career. The race was the 1919 Sanford Stakes and the horse who beat him was named —that’s right — Upset. Some wordsmiths say the term was used prior to that famous race. All I know is that when you’re on the wrong end of an upset, it feels really bad, no matter where the term got started. • Dunk. The word dunk comes from the Pennsylvania Dutch word dunke. This brings up images of guys in black hats and beards flying through the air to jam one home in the closing seconds of a
game to ice another upset win. By the way, the first real practitioner of the dunk was Bob Kurland of Oklahoma A&M University in the 1940s – and he wasn’t even Amish. • March Madness. You might think this term always has referred to the NCAA tournament. You would be wrong. It was first used back in 1939 to describe the Illinois state basketball tournament. In fact, in the 1990s the Illinois High School Association took the NCAA to court over use of the term. There was no upset in this case: the NCAA came out on top and the two groups later reached an agreement. • The word “mad” is a Middle English word that replaced the Old English word “wod,” which meant something similar. This is a good thing for us, because “March Wodness” just doesn’t have the right ring. So there you go. I think the NCAA tournament would be a lot more interesting if they brought back some of those original knights, but I guess that would be nothing but wodness.

could all be champions.” A bodybuilder with an impressive physique himself, Weider became better known in later years as a behind-thescenes guru to the sport. He popularized bodybuilding and spread the message of health and fitness worldwide with such publications as Muscle & Fitness, Flex and Shape. Schwarzenegger himself is the executive editor of Muscle & Fitness and Flex. He created one of bodybuilding’s pre-eminent events, the Mr. Olympia competition, in 1965, adding to it the Ms. Olympia contest in 1980, the Fitness Olympia in 1995 and the Figure Olympia in 2003. He also relentlessly promoted Schwarzenegger, who won the Mr. Olympia title a then-record seven times, including in 1980 and every year from 1970 through 1975.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Focus on the friendship and not the crush Dear Annie: One of my best friends is a lesbian and has feelings for me. I found this out a few years ago and communicated to her several times in a nice way that I am not gay, but she says she cannot change the way she feels. It was an awkward conversation because she doesn't like speaking openly about her feelings. I was devastated by her response and even tried not speaking to her for close to a year — a painful time for me — hoping she would find a suitable partner and get over her crush. A few months ago, due to a work project, we started communicating again. On the surface, it's great. I have my old friend back, and we go out for drinks and discuss our work issues. However, deep down, I dread that it's all coming back. I try chatting about my dating stories as a casual way to hint that nothing has changed for me. I fear that if I confront her again on this sensitive issue, I will lose our dear friendship a second time, and yet I don't want to mislead her. What should I say or do? — Tormented Dear Tormented: We understand your discomfort, but you are too focused on the crush and not enough on the friendship. There is no reason to bring up her feelings when she obviously doesn't want to discuss them and hasn't made any overtures to indicate that she is still interested. People have crushes on friends all the time, but they don't necessarily act on them or let them interfere with the relationship. If your friend does anything untoward, feel free to say again that you aren't interested, that it makes you feel uncomfortable and pressured, and that if she cannot control her feelings, you will have to limit contact. Dear Annie: I will soon celebrate my 82nd birthday. I have a hearing problem and bought hearing aids, but they don't work. I feel like I flushed $5,000 down the toilet. The people who sold them to me are intelligent. How can they legally sell something they know doesn't work? When I realized that I will never hear again, I cried all night. — Scammed Dear Scammed: Please don't give up so quickly. Hearing aid providers vary in degree of expertise, and hearing aids work differently for each person. It is always best to be evaluated, fitted and tested by an audiologist, who will discuss available styles and features and also ask about your lifestyle (e.g., how much of your day you spend on the telephone, in restaurants, watching TV, etc.) and explain that it can take time for your brain to process the new audio information. If you are a veteran, you can get assistance through the VA. Others should look for an otolaryngologist (ear, nose and throat specialist) who has an audiologist on staff. Please see whether your current contract allows you to return the hearing aids for a total or partial refund. Also contact the Hearing Loss Association of America (www.hearingloss.org) for additional information and help. Dear Annie: I was amused to read the letter from "Concerned," whose visitors leave framed photographs of their family in their guest house. We have a house on Cape Cod and have had this happen. We actually loved seeing our friends and family enjoying themselves at "our spot." As long as they're not taking the liberty of hanging them, I consider the photos a gift or a thank-you. If "Concerned" doesn't want them displayed, she can put them in a guest album. I would think it would be insulting to give them back. — S.D. from the Cape Dear S.D.: We think it's sweet that you consider these photographs gifts from your guests, rather than a presumptuous household takeover. Please enjoy them. Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE
Sound Off: Bathroom door — in or out? Dear Readers: Here is this week’s SOUND OFF, about handicapped bathroom stall doors: “The handicap stalls in public restrooms have the door opening outward. Why don’t all the stalls open that direction? It would be easier if they didn’t open inward, especially when you have a purse and maybe a bag to swing around the door. It seems strange to me that they can’t all open outward. — E.T., via email” Been there too many times, especially when traveling for
Hints from Heloise Columnist a speech or personal appearance and using an airport restroom! I have almost been “trapped” a few times with luggage, purse and tote bag! According to the Americans With Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines, the
doors on handicapped stalls need to swing outward for ease of entering and exiting. The other stall doors probably swing inward so the flow of “traffic” doesn’t get slowed down and so someone walking by doesn’t accidentally get hit! — Heloise FAST FACTS Dear Readers: Other uses for an ironing board: • Extra counter space in kitchen. • As a bedside table for someone who’s sick. • Use outside for a potting stand.
• As an extra buffet table. Readers, do you have hints about using an ironing board for something else? Write and let me know! — Heloise PAPER SWAPS Dear Heloise: I love to make paper crafts, and I always have bits and pieces left over. Many of my friends are scrapbookers as well. We decided as a group to do a paper swap. We got together all of our scraps and traded with each other. We now do our swaps every couple of months. — Ashley in Houston

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You’re very ambitious about something today, which is a good thing because you likely will achieve your aims. Romance with a boss also is likely. (Oh, my.) LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a great day to travel or explore opportunities in publishing, higher education, the media, the law and medicine. Your enthusiasm about what you’re doing will encourage others to endorse you. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Luck is with you if you are dealing with inheritances, shared property, taxes and debt. You feel strong and healthy, and will defend your self-interest today. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Although relationships are feisty and lively today, they also are friendly.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is a powerful day for those of you who sell, market, write, teach and act, because it’s easy for you to throw all of yourself behind whatever you’re saying. People definitely will listen to you. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You’ll work hard for your earnings today. (Actually, you’ll work equally hard to spend these earnings.) This is a strong day for business and commerce. YOU BORN TODAY You are hardworking and responsible, and yet, you have the innocent spontaneity of a child. Your approach to life is simple and modest. You get things done. You work at your own unhurried pace and are often very philosophical. Some consider you to be eccentric. Good news; your year ahead might be one of the most powerful years of your life. Dream big! Birthdate of: Leonard Nimoy, actor; Tennessee Williams, playwright; Amy Smart, actress.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Monday, March 25, the 84th day of 2013. There are 281 days left in the year. The Jewish holiday Passover begins at sunset. Today’s Highlight in History: On March 25, 1965, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. led 25,000 marchers to the state capitol in Montgomery, Ala., to protest the denial of voting rights to blacks. On this date: • In 1306, Robert the Bruce was crowned the King of Scots. • In 1776, Gen. George Washington, commander of the Continental Army, was awarded the first Congressional Gold Medal by the
Continental Congress. • In 1957, the Treaty of Rome established the European Economic Community. • In 1963, private pilot Ralph Flores and his 21-year-old passenger, Helen Klaben, were rescued after being stranded for seven weeks in brutally cold conditions in the Yukon after their plane crashed. • In 1988, in New York City’s socalled “Preppie Killer” case, Robert Chambers Jr. pleaded guilty to firstdegree manslaughter in the death of 18-year-old Jennifer Levin. (Chambers received a sentence of 5 to 15 years in prison; he was released in 2003.)
• Five years ago: Herb Peterson, the inventor of McDonald’s Egg McMuffin, died in Santa Barbara, Calif., at age 89. • Today’s Birthdays: Modeling agency founder Eileen Ford is 91. Movie reviewer Gene Shalit is 87. Former astronaut James Lovell is 85. Feminist activist and author Gloria Steinem is 79. Singer Anita Bryant is 73. Singer Aretha Franklin is 71.

Musharraf returns to Pakistan intent on comeback KARACHI, Pakistan (AP) — Former President Pervez Musharraf returned home Sunday hoping to make a political comeback despite Taliban death threats and looming arrest warrants. But judging by the lackluster crowd at the airport to greet him, his biggest challenge could be his waning popularity. His return comes as Pakistan is poised to transition from one democratically elected government to another a first for a country that has experienced three coups since its 1947 inception. After years on the margins of Pakistani politics, Musharraf is seeking to rebuild his image, hoping to capitalize on an electorate frustrated with five years of rising inflation, rolling blackouts and security problems. Musharraf, a four-star general who was chief of the army, took power in a 1999 coup and his military-led regime steered the country for nearly a decade until he was forced to step down in
AP
Former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, gestures upon his arrival to the Karachi airport, Pakistan, Sunday. 2008 as president. Confronted with mounting criticism and widespread protests after he tried to dismiss a popular chief justice, he left facing impeachment by the newly elected parliament. He later left the country and has been living between London and Dubai ever since. The former Pakistani strongman had promised to return to his homeland many
times before. He finally followed through, boarding a plane in Dubai with supporters and journalists and flying to the southern port metropolis of Karachi, the largest city in the nation. Stepping out of the terminal, surrounded by police and supporters, he portrayed himself as a savior seeking to return the country to the prosperity and stability that supporters say marked his presidency.
“I have come back for you. I want you to get back the Pakistan that I had left when we used to feel proud in ourselves,” he said. Musharraf represents a polarizing force that could further complicate Pakistan’s attempt to hold parliamentary elections on May 11. The country passed another milestone Sunday when the election commission appointed a caretaker prime minister to run the government ahead of elections, a step that is designed to promote electoral independence. Musharraf ’s supporters, including elements of the military and members of Pakistan’s influential expatriate communities, consider him a strong leader whose voice could help stabilize the country. Nostalgia for Musharraf’s days in power was evident among members of the crowd who turned out to see him at the airport. “At that time, we had employment. We had jobs. There was peace. It was
100,000 times better than today,” said Muhammed Iqbal from Karachi. Musharraf is fondly remembered by many people in this city of 18 million people where he heavily backed the Muttahida Quami Movement the city’s dominant political party. But Musharraf’s welcoming party, estimated at between 1,000 and 2,000, was small compared with the hundreds of thousands of people who thronged this same terminal when Benazir Bhutto returned to Pakistan or the tens of thousands who turned out Saturday night for a rally in Lahore for cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan. Supporters threw rose petals and enthusiastically waved flags emblazoned with pictures of Musharraf and Mohammed Ali Jinnah, the founding father of Pakistan, but their energy did not mask their numbers. “If he claims nationwide support, that would be a joke,” said Rasul Bakhsh
Rais, from the Lahore University of Management Sciences. “I have never seen such a misplaced optimism about oneself.” Musharraf was whisked out of the airport inside an armored vehicle, surrounded by a phalanx of police and paramilitary security forces. It was a reminder of the security threats Musharraf faces. The former general angered many militants with his decision in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks to back the U.S. in its invasion of Afghanistan and cut off ties with the Taliban. Militants as well as many other Pakistanis saw him as carrying out the American agenda in Pakistan. Militants were further infuriated with Musharraf when he decided in 2007 to raid a mosque in Islamabad that had become a center for militants opposed to the U.S. Pakistani officials said 102 people, mostly supporters of the mosque, died in the week-long operation.
Cyprus turns to EU in last-ditch bid for bailout BRUSSELS (AP) — Cypriot politicians turned to the European Union on Sunday in a last-ditch effort to help their island nation forge a viable plan to secure an international bailout after failing for a week to find a solution to a crisis that could force their country into bankruptcy. Politicians were under pressure to come up with a solution quickly. The European Central Bank has threatened to stop providing emergency funding to Cyprus’ banks after today if there is no agreement on a way to raise 5.8 billion euros ($7.5 billion) needed to get a 10 billion euro rescue loan package from the International Monetary Fund and the other European countries that use the euro currency. If Cyprus fails to secure a bailout, some of its banks could collapse within days, rapidly dragging down the government and possibly forcing the country of around 1 million out of the eurozone. Analysts say that could threaten the stability of the currency used by more than 300 million people in 17 EU nations. Despite that risk, Europe’s biggest economy maintained a hard line on the negotiations. German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said in
an interview “if possible we want to avoid seeing Cyprus sliding into insolvency.” But he cautioned that he is “known for not giving in to blackmail, by nobody and nothing.” Heading into a decisive meeting of eurozone finance ministers on the issue in Brussels, Schaeuble said an agreement can be reached if Cyprus meets creditors’ demands. “I hope we can get to a result today. But that of course requires that the situation is viewed realistically in Cyprus,” he said. “This is not about us the decision lies with Cyprus.” Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades and his finance minister were meeting with representatives of the troika of international creditors the International Monetary Fund, the European Central Bank, and the European Commission, the EU’s executive arm, to work out final details, officials said. The meeting dragged on, and the start of the meeting of eurozone finance ministers was postponed by two hours, until 8 p.m. local time. “I’m expecting quite a long night,” Irish Finance Minister Michael Noonan said. “I think a deal will be done tonight but I think it will be late, because a lot of detail has to be
worked out.” A plan agreed to in marathon negotiations earlier this month called for a one-time levy on all bank depositors in Cypriot banks. But the proposal ignited fierce anger among Cypriots and failed to garner a single vote in the Cypriot Parliament. The idea of some sort of deposit grab has returned to the fore after Cyprus’ attempt to gain Russian financial aid failed this past week, with deposits above 100,000 euros at the country’s troubled largest lender, Bank of Cyprus, possibly facing a levy of up to 25 percent. To avoid bankruptcy or the collapse of its banking system, Cyprus needs significantly more than the 10 billion euros international creditors are willing to lend it. There’s fear that more loans would raise the country’s debt to an unsustainable level. For that reason, the country has been told it must raise the additional money. Cyprus has “to fulfill a difficult mission to save the Cypriot economy and avert a disorderly default threatening the economy if there is no final deal for the loan agreement,” government spokesman Christos Sylianides said in a statement Sunday.

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.

Arnold Palmer to resume today ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Tiger Woods is going to have to wait one more day to try to reclaim No. 1 in the world. Moments after Woods made a 10-foot birdie putt on the second hole, a vicious thunderstorm packing gusts that topped out at 62 mph interrupted the final round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational and wiped out play until today.
The storm dumped nearly one inch on Bay Hill and formed small ponds in the fairways there was even a fish in the middle of the 18th fairway. The wind toppled the TV tower behind the 10th green, which was a pile of AP PHOTO metal poles, wood, mesh netting Lightning strikes in the distance as spectators leave the course and had a stationary camera in after play was suspended due to an approaching severe thunthe middle of it all.

Dayton outlasts St. John’s in double OT Andrea Hoover scored a career-high 24 points and Dayton outlasted St. John's. It was the first double overtime game in the tournament since 2000 when Vanderbilt beat Kansas. Brittany Wilson hit a 3-pointer and Kelley Austria had a three-point play to make it 90-86 with 2:11 left in the second extra period. After St. John's failed to score, Olivia Applewhite added a basket with 47 seconds left to seal the win. See Page 14.

Ohio State guard Aaron Craft (4) shoots the game-winning basket against Iowa State in a third-round game of the NCAA college basketball tournament on Sunday in Dayton.
Craft for the win ... Late 3-pointer lands Buckeyes in Sweet 16 DAYTON (AP) — Aaron Craft dribbled in place at the top of the arc, watching to see if any of his Ohio State teammates were getting open near the basket for a game-winning shot. Nothing there. The point guard had a clear look at the clock as it raced toward zero atop the backboard. He realized what he had to do take a little Ohio State tournament history into his hands. Craft held the ball until he had no other choice, then
swished a 3-pointer with a halfsecond left Sunday for a 78-75 victory over Iowa State, sending the Buckeyes to a school-record fourth straight trip to the round of 16. No. 2 Ohio State had managed to escape as the lone high seed left in the NCAA tournament’s most-busted bracket. “The moment’s a lot bigger than me,” said Craft, who had allowed Iowa State to catch up with missed free throws and an errant jumper. “It just happened to be in my hands at the end.”
Ohio State (28-7) needed Craft’s fearless shot over 6-foot7 defender Georges Niang to avoid yet another upset in the oh-so-wild West Regional. Four of the top five seeds fell fast and hard in the first weekend. The Buckeyes’ 10th straight win sent them to Los Angeles for a game on Thursday against sixth-seeded Arizona. “With all that’s gone on in college basketball, anything’s possible,” Craft said. “You can
DAYTON (AP) — On the verge of being the second No. 1 knocked from the NCAA tournament, Indiana finally stopped Temple’s No. 1. Victor Oladipo hit a key 3pointer with 13 seconds remaining and the top-seeded Hoosiers, their season moments from ending in disappointment, shut down Owls star Khalif Wyatt in the final three minutes to hold off the Owls. The Hoosiers (29-6) trailed by four with 2:56 left, but closed with a 10-0 run and advanced to the round of 16 for the second straight year. Indiana will play No. 4 seed Syracuse in the regional semifinals on Thursday in Washington, a rematch of the classic 1987 title game won by the Hoosiers. Wyatt scored 31 points to lead the Owls (24-10), who gave one of the Big Ten’s big boys all they could handle before collapsing when it mattered most. Oladipo, who spent the afternoon doing all he could to slow down Wyatt, scored 16 and Cody Zeller added 15 for the Hoosiers KANSAS 70, NORTH CAROLINA 58 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas got the best of ‘ol Roy and his Tar Heels once again. Behind the impassioned play of Travis Releford and Jeff Withey, the top-seeded Jayhawks shook themselves out of a first-half slumber and blitzed No. 8 seed North Carolina down the stretch. Withey had 16 points and 16 rebounds, and Releford finished with 22 points for the Jayhawks (31-5), who also knocked former coach Roy Williams’ team out of the NCAA tournament during their 2008 title run and again last season, when Kansas marched all the way to the Final Four. It’ll keep marching this year — at least to the Sweet 16 — thanks to a superb second half. P.J. Hairston scored 15 points and James Michael McAdoo finished with 11 for the Tar Heels (2511).

Coaches gripe about flagrant fouls By the Associated Press
Kyle Busch avoids wreck, wins Fontana Denny Hamlin was airlifted to a hospital Sunday after colliding with Joey Logano on the last lap while NASCAR’s newest rivals raced for the win in a thrilling finish at Fontana. See Page 16.
With just over a minute left in a six-point game, Creighton’s Doug McDermott was swarmed by a pair of Cincinnati defenders. Trying to escape the trap, McDermott turned and swung his elbow upward, catching the Bearcats’ Shaquille Thomas in
the face. The officials called McDermott for a foul, then, in what has become a common practice during the NCAA tournament, headed over to the TV monitors to see if the elbow warranted at flagrant foul. In their opinion, it did. McDermott received a Flagrant
1, which meant two free throws for Cincinnati and the ball. In the opinion of McDermott’s coach, who also happens to be his father, the upgraded penalty was uncalled for, even if Thomas did miss the free throws and Creighton won the game. “That call could have changed the outcome of the game,” Greg

McDermott said. “That would have been unfortunate because there certainly wasn’t any intent with what Doug was doing. He was just trying to clear himself because there was a lot of contact in that double team.” The NCAA’s flagrant use of

Buckeyes ■ CONTINUED FROM 13 see it with what’s gone on in our bracket right now.” Tenth-seeded Iowa State (23-12) overcame a late 13point deficit by hitting 3s the Cyclones’ specialty but wound up beaten by one, a tough way to have their upset bid end. “We played our hearts out,” said Will Clyburn, who scored 17 points. “It was a tough game and he
made a tough shot. He made a great play.” Craft’s missed free throws helped Iowa State catch up. He missed the front end of a pair of oneand-one chances and was off on a jumper from just inside the arc with 29.2 seconds left and the score tied. The Cyclones knocked the ball out of bounds while trying for the rebound, setting up the final chance.
Coach Thad Matta called a timeout and went over the options. “I told ‘em, ‘Hey, let’s get the last shot; let’s play for the win here,’” Matta said. When the Cyclones switched coverages to take away leading scorer Deshaun Thomas and put their tall freshman on Craft, the point guard decided to take it himself. Not a bad outcome, Iowa
State thought. “He had a tough shot,” said Korie Lucious, who led Iowa State with 19 points. “He hadn’t hit a 3 all game.” The officials reviewed the play to confirm that Craft’s foot was behind the arc when he shot. Lucious didn’t come close on a long heave as the final half-second ran off. Lucious stood on the
court after the buzzer sounded, stung by the final half-second. Coach Fred Hoiberg was unable to make an opening comment during the postgame news conference, the pain etched all over his face. Thomas led Ohio State with 22 points, and Craft had 18. LaQuinton Ross scored 10 straight for the Buckeyes as they built that second-half lead.
The Buckeyes escaped Dayton, the scene of a couple recent NCAA tournament disappointments as the lone high seed left in the West. No. 3 New Mexico, No. 4 Kansas State and No. 5 Wisconsin were knocked out right away, losing their openers. No. 1 Gonzaga joined them Saturday night, shocked by ninthseeded Wichita State 76-70.

UD outlasts St. John’s
NCAA
NEW YORK (AP) — Andrea Hoover scored a career-high 24 points and Dayton outlasted St. John’s. It was the first double overtime game in the tournament since 2000 when Vanderbilt beat Kansas. Brittany Wilson hit a 3pointer and Kelley Austria had a three-point play to make it 90-86 with 2:11 left in the second extra period. After St. John’s failed to score, Olivia Applewhite added a basket with 47 seconds left to seal the win. • BRIDGEPORT REGIONAL KENTUCKY 61, NAVY 41 NEW YORK — DeNesha Stallworth scored 18 points and Jennifer O’Neill added nine of her 12 points in the second half to lead Kentucky over Navy. The Wildcats (28-5) trailed by one at the half before O’Neill, who grew up in New York, took over. She hit a quick 3-pointer to start a 12-2 run. The sophomore guard had seven points, a steal and an assist during the burst. Kentucky had been off for 14 days since losing in the SEC tournament title game and looked rusty early on. Two-time SEC player of the year A’dia Mathies didn’t have a field goal for the first time in her career. N.CAROLINA 59, ALBANY 54 NEWARK, Del. — Tierra Ruffin-Pratt scored a careerhigh 30 points, and North Carolina squeezed past Albany to stagger into the second round of the NCAA tournament. North Carolina trailed 28-23 at halftime and 48-44 with just under 10 minutes left before rallying behind Ruffin-Pratt, who scored 17 of the Tar Heels’ final 21 points — including two clinching free throws with 10.8 seconds left. DELAWARE 66, WEST VIRGINIA 53 NEWARK, Del. — Elena Delle Donne scored 33 points and led a second-half surge that carried Delaware past West Virginia. Delaware extended their school-record winning streak to 26 games. • NORFOLK REGIONAL DUKE 67, HAMPTON 51 DURHAM, N.C. — Tricia Liston scored 13 of her 20 points in the second half and Duke pulled away to beat Hampton. Elizabeth Williams added 18 points and Haley Peters finished with 12 points and 10 rebounds for the Blue Devils (31-2). OKLA.

Young also grabbed 13 rebounds. NOTRE DAME 97, TENN.-MARTIN 64 IOWA CITY, Iowa — Jewell Loyd scored 27 points and top-seeded Notre Dame blew past TennesseeMartin. Kayla McBride had 22 points and 10 rebounds for the Fighting Irish (32-1), who have won 27 straight heading into Tuesday’s second-round matchup with either Iowa or Miami. Natalie Achonwa added 16 points. • OKLAHOMA CITY REGIONAL PURDUE 77, LIBERTY 43 LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Courtney Moses scored 21 points, hitting 5 of 8 from 3point range, and Purdue routed Liberty. The Boilermakers (25-8) improved to 19-1 in the first round with their 16th straight victory to open the tournament.
Liberty (27-7) hadn’t played a Big Ten team since 2005 when the Lady Flames beat Penn State for their first NCAA tournament win. Liberty had the nation’s best rebounding margin with a 17.5 edge per game, but couldn’t beat Purdue on the boards in ending a 14-game winning streak. LOUISVILLE 74, M. TENNESSEE 49 LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Shoni Schimmel scored 20 points, and fifth-seeded Louisville beat Middle Tennessee for its fifth straight opening NCAA tournament win under coach Jeff Walz. Louisville (25-8) will play No. 4 seed Purdue, a 77-43 winner over Liberty, on Tuesday night in the second round of the Oklahoma City Regional. FLORIDA STATE 60, PRINCETON 44 WACO, Texas — Leonor Rodriguez and Morgan Toles each scored 12 points and Florida State beat Princeton. The Seminoles won their 10th straight first-round game and denied the Tigers their first NCAA tourna-
ment victory. • SPOKANE REGIONAL STANFORD 72, TULSA 56 STANFORD, Calif.— Chiney Ogwumike had 29 points, eight rebounds and three assists, and top-seeded Stanford pulled away in the second half from the 16th seed. Amber Orrange added 14 points, six rebounds and three assists for the Cardinal (32-2), who needed more than a half to get rolling while playing at home in Maples Pavilion coming off final exams and a two-week layoff since winning the Pac-12 tournament. PENN STATE 85, CAL POLY 65 BATON ROUGE, La. — Maggie Lucas scored 19 points, Alex Bentley added 18 and third-seeded Penn State overwhelmed NCAA women’s tournament newcomer Cal Poly. While the dynamic Lucas scored from all over the court, Penn State (26-5) also used its size advantage to assert itself inside on both ends.
like the fact that we’re protecting players, particularly airborne players.” The NCAA changed its rules in 2011 to add flagrant fouls to the men’s and women’s game, using Flagrant 1 to take the place of an intentional foul and Flagrant 2 replacing the previous flagrant foul call. The official descriptions, according to the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight
Panel: “An example of a Flagrant 1 foul would be when a player swings an elbow and makes illegal, non-excessive contact with an opponent above the shoulders. The team whose player was struck would receive two free throws and possession of the ball. Previously, this type of foul was called an intentional foul. The committee wanted to move away from the
■ CONTINUED FROM 13 Florida used an overpowering first half to roll past Minnesota and into the NCAA tournament round of 16 for third consecutive year with a 78-64 win Sunday in the South Regional. The No. 3 seed Gators (28-7) shot a blistering 65 percent in the first half and led by 21 by halftime. The win earns Florida a return trip to the Lone Star State to play their next game at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington. Andre Hollins scored 25 points to lead the No. 11-seed Gophers (21-13). Hollins’ 3-point shooting sparked a second-half rally that pulled Minnesota within seven points, but Rosario’s sixth 3-pointer with 3 minutes left pushed the Gators’ lead back to 16 and effectively locked up the win. Florida GC 81, SDSU 81 PHILADELPHIA — Florida Gulf Coast went from shocking the college basketball world to downright impressing it. And the Eagles were smiling the whole time. Playing loose and easy, FCGU beat San Diego State 81-71 on Sunday to become the first No. 15 seed to reach the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament. The next opponent for the upstart state school will be the main campus, third-seeded Florida, on Friday night in the South Regional semifinal in Dallas. Bernard Thompson had 23 points and Sherwood Brown added 17 for FGCU, the 16-yearold school in just its second season being eligible for postseason play. In its first-ever NCAA tournament game on
Friday, the Atlantic Sun champion busted brackets everywhere with an upset win over No. 2 Georgetown, a game the Eagles took control of with a 21-2 run in the second half. It went much the same way against San Diego State (23-11). Jamal Franklin had 20 points and 11 rebounds for the seventh-seeded Aztecs. Florida 78, Minnesota 64 AUSTIN, Texas — Mike Rosario scored 25 points and Florida used an overpowering first half to roll past Minnesota and into the NCAA tournament round of 16 for third consecutive year with a 78-64 win Sunday in the South Regional. The No. 3 seed Gators (28-7) shot a blistering 65 percent in the first half and led by 21 by halftime. The win earns Florida a return trip to the Lone Star State to play their next game at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington. Andre Hollins scored 25 points to lead the No. 11-seed Gophers (21-13). Hollins’ 3-point shooting sparked a second-half rally that pulled Minnesota within seven points, but Rosario’s sixth 3-pointer with 3 minutes left pushed the Gators’ lead back to 16 and effectively locked up the win. La Salle 76, Ole Miss 74 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Tyrone Garland banked home a scooping layup with 2 seconds left and 13th-seeded La Salle beat Mississippi 76-74 on Sunday, vaulting the Explorers to their deepest run in the NCAA tournament since they played for the championship in 1955.
■ National Basketball Association
Miami extends winning streak MIAMI (AP) — LeBron James and company put on quite a show for some of the biggest names in sports on Sunday night. James finished with 32 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds, Chris Bosh added 15 points and the Miami Heat won their 26th straight game, cruising to a 109-77 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats. The world’s best were courtside in Miami. Novak Djokovic, the top-ranked men’s tennis player. Wladimir Klitschko, the world heavyweight boxing
king. Rory McIlroy, who sits atop the golf rankings for at least one more night. And James responded with another sterling performance, making 11 of 14 shots while helping Miami move within seven wins of matching the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers for the league record of 33 in a row. Norris Cole scored 15 and Ray Allen added 14 for the Heat, who played without Dwyane Wade, held from the lineup because of right knee soreness that the team believes is minor.
word ‘intentional,’ because a player’s intent was never the point to the rule. “An example of a Flagrant 2 foul would be when a player swings an elbow excessively and makes contact with an opponent above the shoulders. In this case, the player who threw the elbow would be ejected from the game, and the other team would receive two free throws and the ball.”
This season, the NCAA put an added emphasis on calling flagrant fouls. What fans are seeing has been happening to some degree already. Box scores from the NCAA tournament don’t include flagrant fouls, but there sure seems to be an uptick in calls or at least in looking at flagrants. Most of the criticism of the rule has come from calls on offensive players.
■ College Basketball
Fouls ■ CONTINUED FROM 13 flagrant fouls has become a point of contention during first weekend of the tournament. Some of the calls have frustrated coaches and they’ve certainly bogged down the pace of games as officials watch the replays over and over. Tournament officials, though, have been pleased with the officials’ conscientiousness as they try to
take out some of the rough play that has pervaded the sport in recent years. “The game is physical and the rules we have in place to protect player’s safety,” said Mike Bobinski, the NCAA tournament’s selection committee chairman. “I think they’ve been called very consistently the first day and a half. The key is consistency and I think we’ve rightfully erred on the side of safety, and I

Bay Hill ■ CONTINUED FROM 13 About an hour after a tornado warning expired, officials said they would need time to clean up the course and let it drain. The final round was to resume at 10 a.m. Monday. Woods is going after his eighth win at Bay Hill, which would return him to No. 1 in the world ranking for the first time since the last week of October in 2010. He hit all of six shots on Sunday, enough to build a three-shot lead over Rickie Fowler, Keegan Bradley, John Huh and Ken Duke. “At least we got a little activity in today, so we’re not completely stagnant,” Woods said before leaving. “We’ve dealt with this before.” There was plenty of action on a short day, none more bizarre than Sergio Garcia. The Spaniard’s tee shot on the 10th hole somehow came to rest about 15 feet up in an oak tree, sitting between two large branches. Garcia used a cart to jump into the tree, and after a few minutes, hit a one-handed, back-handed shot back to the fairway, before jumping some 8 feet back to the ground. William McGirt was playing his shot from the fairway bunker on the other side and had no idea what Garcia was doing. “I knew they were looking around the tree,” he said. “I didn’t know they were looking in the tree. I looked over and Sergio is up in the air, and I’m trying to figure out what in the hell he’s going to go. He called for a club. He’s hugging the tree. And the ball comes flying out. “Are you kidding me?” Two holes later, the horn sounded. McGirt said Garcia handed him the scorecard and said, “I’m out of here.” Garcia earlier
Fight to the finish
had taken a 9 on the par-5 sixth hole. Billy Horschel hit three tee shots in to the water on the sixth hole and made an 11. Attribute that to the wind, which was gusting hard when the leaders teed off. Mark Russell, the tour’s vice president of competition, said officials discussed whether to play early Sunday from two tees to try to beat the storms. He said NBC Sports was involved in the discussions Woods going for the win, with Fowler at his side is sure to boost ratings and they rolled the dice. “If we played early, it was going to be a tapedelay situation. People were going to know who won before it came on television, so it defeats our television partners,” he said. “They wanted to take a chance. They’ve been involved in several situations where we played early and it didn’t rain. It was just unfortunate.” This marks the third time this year on the PGA Tour that a tournament finished one day later because of weather. Woods won at Torrey Pines on a Monday when the Farmers Insurance Open lost a day to fog in San Diego. The Tournament of Championship at Kapalua didn’t start until Monday because of unusually high wind, and the 54-hole event was completed some 29 hours after the opening tee shot. Dustin Johnson won on a Tuesday. It will be the third Monday finish in the 35year history of this tournament. The storm lasted about two hours, enough time to do plenty of damage. Tournament director Scott Wellington said his staff was just starting a full inspection.
Kyle Busch avoids Hamlin-Logano wreck for win FONTANA, Calif. (AP) — Denny Hamlin was airlifted to a hospital Sunday after colliding with Joey Logano on the last lap while NASCAR’s newest rivals raced for the win in a thrilling finish at Fontana. And Logano has even bigger worries than his burgeoning feud with Hamlin, whose team expects him to be fine: Three-time champion Tony Stewart got into a post-race shoving match with Logano, threatening to “whoop his (butt)” after the 22-year-old Logano aggressively blocked Stewart out of a late restart. “It’s time he learns a lesson,” Stewart said. “He’s run his mouth long enough. … He’s nothing but a little rich kid that’s never had to work in his life, so he’s going to learn what us working guys who had to work our way up (know about) how it works.” Almost forgotten in all that Fontana drama was Kyle Busch, who earned his first victory of the season when he sped past Hamlin and Logano on the final turn. But the final lap was a spectacle pitting Hamlin against Logano, their cars side by side in their first race since the drivers confronted each other last week at Bristol in another argument about driving tactics. Logano eventually hit the outside wall at Fontana and managed to finish third, while Hamlin never made it to the line after hitting the inside wall with force. He received attention in an ambulance and was airlifted out due to traffic around the track. Stewart, the defending Fontana champion, ran over to Logano’s car and confronted him after the race, shoving the younger driver who then threw a water bottle at Stewart, the veteran said before teammates pulled them apart. Stewart, who finished 22nd, was replaced by Logano at Joe Gibbs Racing when Stewart left to drive for his own team starting in 2009. “What the hell do you think I was mad about?” Stewart asked. Busch led the most laps in his Toyota and took advantage of his remarkable stroke of luck to pick up JGR’s first victory at Fontana, the only track where the team had never won. Toyota also got its first Fontana win. “They forgot about me. I knew they were going to,” Busch said. “We had a good run on the top side, and they were messing with each other so bad

Arroyo hit on hand by line drive in loss SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) — Reds pitcher Bronson Arroyo left his start after getting hit on his pitching hand by David Murphy’s line drive Sunday in Cincinnati’s 72 loss to the Texas Rangers. Preliminary X-rays detected no break. Arroyo allowed three runs and nine hits in 5 13 innings before being led off the field by a trainer. Lance Berkman homered and drove in three runs for Texas,
while Alexi Ogando pitched six scoreless innings. Craig Gentry tripled in the first and scored on Berkman’s sacrifice fly. Berkman’s fourth-inning homer landed in the Rangers’ bullpen beyond the right-field fence with Gentry aboard. Ogando, set to be a starter this season after spending last year in the bullpen, limited the Reds to three hits. He walked one and struck out five, throwing 56 strikes in 82 pitches.
for an angry exchange before the teams pulled them apart. Their final-lap theatrics at Fontana mostly appeared to be motivated by fierce racing for a win in a back-and-forth race on a wide two-mile track. Hamlin’s crash was more dramatic than Logano’s contact with the wall, with Hamlin’s car going head-on into the inside wall. “He probably shouldn’t have done what he did last week, so that’s what he gets,” Logano said. “We were super fast, led a lot of laps. Nothing to hang our head down about, that’s for sure.” Hamlin got himself out of the car, but then slumped to the ground beside it before medical help arrived. NASCAR didn’t immediately have an update on his condition, although JGR President J.D. Gibbs thought Hamlin would be fine. Logano then got into a shoving match with Stewart, who also had a late lead. Logano went extremely low to block Stewart out of a late restart. Stewart was furi-
ous, responding to interview questions with a long series of expletives. Hamlin and Logano were near each other from the opening laps, with Logano practically grazing Hamlin’s bumper early on. On Friday, Hamlin said he hoped the beef with Logano was finished, but Logano said he hadn’t received any apology and wasn’t feeling particularly forgiving. Hamlin and Logano ended up together in the final laps after Logano prevented Stewart from getting back in the hunt. “I had to throw the block there,” Logano said. “That was a race for the lead. I felt if the 14 got underneath me, that was going to be the end of my opportunity to win the race, so I was just trying to protect the spot I had.” They were side-by-side heading into the final lap and largely stayed that way until Turn 3, where Logano began to work up the track. The cars made contact and eventually lost control, with Logano hitting the wall while Hamlin slid inside and made heavy contact with the wall.

that they took each other down. I was just hoping I could get by before they took me with him.” Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished second and took over the lead in the points standings despite falling from third to 22nd late in the race with a dismal pit stop. Carl Edwards came in fourth, with Kurt Busch fifth. Defending series champion Brad Keselowski finished 23rd, missing the top five for the first time all season. Kyle Busch’s victory was his 25th in NASCAR, completing his ninth career weekend sweep after his Nationwide Series victory Saturday. He ended a 31-race Cup winless streak since last April at Richmond. But all eyes were on Hamlin and Logano, who got into it last week at Bristol: Hamlin spun Logano on that tight Tennessee bullring while Logano was racing Jeff Gordon for the late lead. Hamlin claimed Logano had cut him off three times earlier in the race, but Logano ran over to Hamlin’s car afterward and leaned in his window

GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) — Mark Berry’s conversation with his sister Michelle may have saved his life. The Cincinnati Reds third base coach has been diagnosed with cancer on his tonsils and neck lymph nodes. The 50-year-old traveled to Cincinnati on Wednesday to have a biopsy of his lymph nodes, which was positive. “I first noticed in early December. My tonsils swelled up,” Berry said. “I hurt like a cold or a flu and I thought it was just that.” After two weeks Berry didn’t get sick but the pain persisted. “Then in the beginning of January, the lymph nodes in my neck felt like small marbles. Around midJanuary I went to see a doctor,” Berry said. “Cancer was the last thing on my
mind. We were going to spring training. We had an ear, nose and throat specialist examining us.” The specialist conducting the spring training physicals suggested that Berry have two needle biopsies. One was inconclusive and the other was negative. Berry had a conversation with his sister, Michelle Gonzalez. His sister went through the identical scenario 15 years earlier. “She told me not to be satisfied with the biopsies,” Berry said. Reds team physician, Dr. Timothy Kremchek put Berry in touch with Dr. Corey Casper of the University of Cincinnati/Hutchinson Center Cancer Alliance. “Dr. Casper told me that he thought it originated in
my tonsils,” Berry said. “Wednesday they took enough of the tonsil to test it. Sure enough, the test came back and it was definitely cancer.” The doctors tested Berry from the waist up to make sure the disease hadn’t spread. They told him it was isolated in his lymph nodes, leaving two treatment options. One is to remove the two affected lymph nodes and other lymph nodes to determine whether there is cancer in them. A second surgery to remove his tonsils would be performed. The other option requires radiation for 35 consecutive days. “I have talked to as many people as I can. There have been a lot of people in baseball that have been through what I’ve been
through,” Berry said. “I haven’t made the final decision yet. Either way, I’m going to be with the team through the 30th. I’m going to fly with the team back to Cincinnati. I will make a decision and get something started during the first homestand.” Berry, who has been in the Reds organization for 30 years as a player, minor league manager and coach, told the team Sunday. The native of Oxnard, Calif., intends to stay with the team at least for home games. He will miss some trips especially early in the season. Berry has been third base coach since 2003. The Reds have not decided whether he will continue in that capacity or move to the bench on manager Dusty Baker’s staff.
