Taliban, U.S. blamed for deaths Afghan investigation finds 17 died in airstrike KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Both Taliban insurgents and the U.S. military were to blame for an airstrike a week ago that killed 17 people, including a dozen children, during a fierce battle in eastern Afghanistan, President Hamid Karzai said. Karzai made his comments after an Afghan investigation into the April 6 attack raised the civilian death toll from 11 to 17, including 12 children, four women and one innocent man.

An American civilian adviser was also killed during the fighting. The Afghan report says the U.S. strike occurred after the Afghan intelligence service came under attack by militants during an operation to arrest two insurgent commanders in the Shigal district of Kunar province. The area is a major infiltration route for insurgents from sanctuaries in northwestern Pakistan to Afghanistan.
The U.S.-led coalition has confirmed that it launched airstrikes in Kunar province that day but it has not confirmed civilian casualties, saying the investigation is ongoing. Afghan forces came under fire with heavy and light weapons as they were about to leave the area. It was in that fighting that the American was killed, causing the Americans to

Scott wins Masters title Adam Scott finished the job this time, and put an end to more than a half-century of Australian misery at the Masters. With the two biggest putts of his career, Scott holed a 20-footer for birdie on the 18th hole of regulation that put him into a playoff with Angel Cabrera, and then won his first major championship Sunday with a 12-footer for birdie on the second extra hole.

Drive-through leader at Troy Frisch’s Big Boy Karen Sheldon receives a hug from her sister Sharon Wenrick Tuesday in Troy. Sheldon completed her last day working for Frisch’s Big Boy with 25 years, 5 months and a week. “I’m going to enjoy my grandchildren,” Sheldon said. Sheldon’s two surviving brothers, Ron Harvey and Dennis Harvey, also were in attendance to support their sister on her last day.

BY MELODY VALLIEU Staff Writer mvallieu@civitasmedia.com Karen Sheldon is trading her Big Boy in for some smaller ones. The 25-1/2 year employee of Frisch’s of Troy retired April 9 to spend more time with her family, which includes six grandsons and seven granddaughters. Sheldon, of Piqua, started at the Troy restaurant on Nov. 2, 1987, and the restaurant opened two weeks later. She served as a drive-through leader for her entire career, but also served as a relief manager for 12 years. She also made the peanut butter and coconut cream pies for the holidays, she said. Throughout her years at Frisch’s, Sheldon said, she made many friends — co-workers and customers — and lots of memories to go with them. She even became engaged to her husband Herb — who she married in 1992 — at the restaurant, when he came during one of her shifts to propose. The mother of five — including Michael Shawn

TOKYO (AP) — The United States and Japan opened the door Sunday to new nuclear talks if North Korea lowered tensions and honored past agreements, even as the saberrattling government rejected South Korea’s latest offer of dialogue as a “crafty trick.” U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry told reporters in Tokyo that North Korea would find “ready partners” in the United States if it began abandoning its nuclear program. Japan’s foreign minister, Fumio Kishida, also demanded a resolution to a dispute concerning Japanese citizens abducted decades ago by North Korean officials. The diplomats seemed to point the way for a possible revival of the sixnation talks that have been suspended for four years. China long pushed has for the process to resume without conditions. But the U.S. and allies South Korea and Japan fear rewarding North Korea for its belligerence and endless repetition of a cycle of tensions and failed talks that have prolonged the crisis. Kerry’s message of openness to diplomacy was clear, however unlikely the chances appeared that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s government would meet the American’s conditions. “I’m not going to be so stuck in the mud that an opportunity to actually get something done is flagrantly wasted because of a kind of predetermined stubbornness,” he told U.S.based journalists. “You have to keep your mind open. But fundamentally, the concept is they’re going to have to show some kind of good faith here so we’re not going to around and around in the sameold, same-old,” he said. Tensions have run high on the Korean Peninsula for months, with North Korea testing a nuclear device and its intercontinental ballistic missile technology. The reclusive communist state hasn’t stopped there. It has issued almost daily threats that have included possible nuclear strikes against the United States. Analysts and foreign officials say that is still beyond the North Koreans’ capability. While many threats

At two big banks, record earnings, but lower revenue NEW YORK (AP) — JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo, bellwethers for the banking industry, reported record earnings Friday, but those numbers masked troubling declines in revenue. Revenue fell slightly at both banks, and the earnings gains came largely from slashing expenses and related measures. JPMorgan socked away less to cover potential lawsuits and released some of the money set aside for bad loans. Wells cut back on office space. The results show that in an era of sluggish loan demand and increased government regulations, banks must stay lean if they want to boost earnings. The industry has come a long way since the panic of the financial crisis, but the pattern it’s settled into is one of cutting expenses and maintaining revenue rather than turbocharged growth. — FROM AP AND STAFF REPORTS
have been dismissed as bluster, U.S. and South Korean say they believe the North in the coming days may test a mid-range missile designed to reach as far as Guam, the U.S. territory in the Pacific where the Pentagon is deploying a landbased missile-defense system. Japan is the last stop on a 10-day trip overseas for Kerry, who visited Seoul and Beijing as well in recent days. In South Korea, he strongly warned North Korea not to launch a missile and he reaffirmed U.S. defense of its allies in the region. In China, he secured a public pledge from Beijing, the lone government with significant influence over North Korea, to rid the North of nuclear weapons. Before returning to the United States, Kerry planned a speech today in Japan on the Obama administration’s Asia policy. So far, Republican lawmakers in the U.S. have largely backed the administration’s efforts on North Korea. U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., told CBS’ “Face the Nation” that he was encouraged by Kerry’s China visit and that he hoped “we can get the Chinese to care more about this issue. U.S. Sen. John McCain of Arizona suggested on CNN’s “State of the Union” that the U.S. make a counter-threat by using missile interceptors to hit any North Korean missile that is test-fired. At each stop on his trip, Kerry stressed that the United States wanted a peaceful resolution of the North Korea situation six decades after a cease-fire ended the Korean War. But North Korea on Sunday served a reminder of the difficult task ahead. Its Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea said the government had no intention of talking with Seoul unless the South abandons its confrontational posture, as the North called it. Seoul had pressed North Korea to discuss restarting operations at a joint factory park on the border and President Park Geun-hye has stressed peace opportunities after taking power from her more hard-line predecessor, Lee Myungbak. The presidency expressed regret with North Korea’s rebuttal Sunday. At a news conference in Tokyo, Kerry stressed that gaining China’s commitment to a denuclearized North Korea was no small matter given its historically strong military and economic ties

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry speaks during his lecture to students at Tokyo Institute of Technology in Tokyo, early today. to North Korea. But he refused to say what the Chinese were offering to do concretely to pressure the North into abiding by some of the conditions it agreed to in a 2005 deal that required it to abandon its nuclear program. “They have to take some actions,” Kerry said of North Korea. “How many or how much? I’d have to talk to folks back in Washington about that. But if the Chinese came to us and said, ‘Look, here’s what we have cooking,’ I’m not going to tell you I’m shutting the door today to something that’s logical and might have a chance of success.” In remarks to U.S. journalists, Kerry said that under the right circumstances, he even would consider making a grand overture to North Korea’s leader, such as an offer of direct talks with the U.S. “We’re prepared to reach out,” he said. Diplomacy, he added, required risk-taking and secrecy such as when President Richard Nixon engaged China in the 1970s or U.S. back-channel talks were able to end the Cuban missile crisis a decade earlier. Given their proximity and decades of hostility
and distrust, Japan and South Korea have the most to fear from the North’s unpredictable actions. Kerry clarified a statement he made Saturday in Beijing, when he told reporters the U.S. could scale back its missile-defense posture in the region if North Korea goes nuclear-free. It appeared to be a sweetener to coax tougher action from a Chinese government which has eyed the increased U.S. military presence in its backyard warily, but which has done little over the years to snuff out funding and support for North Korea’s weapons of mass destruction program. Kerry said America’s basic force posture wasn’t up to debate. “There is no discussion that I know of to change that,” he said. But he said it was logical that additional missile-defense elements, deployed specifically in response to the Korean threat, could be reversed if that threat no longer existed. “I was simply making an observation about the rationale for that particular deployment, which is to protect the United States’ interests that are directly threatened by North Korea,” he said.

It said most of the houses were made of wood and mud and collapsed under the shock of the airstrikes,
causing the deaths. The death of Afghan civilians caught in crossfire has been a major point of contention between international forces and the Afghan government. Earlier this year, Karzai banned his troops from requesting coalition airstrikes following another deadly airstrike in Kunar. While he said that airstrikes on residential areas were unacceptable,

at the drive-through and even has plans to take walks with a longtime customer she has befriended. “I didn’t realize how special I was to some of them until this,” she said. During retirement she plans on spending more time with her husband, including camping at their trailer at Stillwater Beach, and attending her grandchildrens’ practically year-round sporting events, which include baseball, softball, track and wrestling. The couple also plan to take a cruise or trip to Hawaii next year, a retirement gift to herself, she said. She also intends to make use of the lifetime of substantial discounts she will now receive from Frisch’s for serving the company for 20plus years to enjoy her favorite soup and salad bar and peanut butter pie. The newly retired Sheldon offers a little advice to those who will, or do, work in a customer servicebased business — or just people in general. “Treat people the way you’d want to be treated yourself,” she said. “Be kind and caring and treat people special.”
he also strongly condemned insurgents for taking cover in civilian houses during the battle. Karzai also ordered government officials to offer immediate help to the families who were harmed in the attack, the statement said, without elaborating. The investigation was carried out by a government delegation sent from Kabul that worked with 75 trib-
al elders in the area. Afghan forces have been increasingly taking the lead in combat operations as international forces move to complete their withdrawal by the end of 2014. But U.S. and other foreign troops still participate and provide air support as they try to clear areas of insurgents and prepare the Afghans to take control.
Losses from Ohio storms higher than initial estimate COLUMBUS (AP) — Updated data indicates insured losses from storms that socked Ohio in late June and early July totaled $845 million in the state, or nearly double the initial estimate released by an insurance industry trade group. The series of storms between June 29 and July 2 still ranks third among the costliest Ohio catastrophes in modern history in terms of insured losses, according to the Ohio Insurance Institute. The Hurricane Ike windstorm in September 2008 tops the list with insured losses of more than $1.2 billion, and the Xenia tornado outbreak in 1974 ranks second. Based on its initial claims survey, the institute had estimated insurance
claims from the storms last summer would total at least $433 million. That didn’t include the $29 million in damage to infrastructure and cleanup costs reported by more than three dozen affected Ohio counties. The updated estimate of $845 million from more than 145,000 claims is based on more recent information from Property Claim Services, a unit of an analytics company that collects data about the extent of disasters for insurers. Property Claim Services gathers more detailed information from more insurance companies than are included in the Ohio Insurance Institute surveys, providing a broader view, said Mitch Wilson, an OII spokesman.
“It’s probably going to be a better snapshot of what’s going on,” he said. The June 29 “derecho” straight-line storm tore across the Midwest and mid-Atlantic regions with little warning and winds gusts of up to 100 mph, and a million customers in Ohio lost power, some of them for up to a week amid the summer heat. Two days later, another line of severe storms rolled through the state, causing another round of significant power outages. President Barack Obama declared a major disaster in Ohio and ordered federal aid for areas affected by the storms, allowing federal aid to be used to repair and replace damaged facilities in affected counties.
Ohio rivers still flooded; wet weather returning COLUMBUS (AP) — Flood warnings remain in parts of Ohio as water from last week’s drenching rainstorms continues to swell some rivers and close some
roads. The National Weather Service said flood warnings remained in effect Sunday for the Maumee River in northwest Ohio, the Scioto River in central Ohio, and Killbuck Creek south of Cleveland. The flood-prone Blanchard River finally receded below flood stage Saturday. It overflowed its banks
after Wednesday and Thursday storms, sending business owners and residents in the town of Findlay scrambling for higher ground. The weather service anticipates most lingering flooding will subside by early today, with the Scioto expected to recede about 3 a.m. Tuesday.

MCRC growth continues BY DANAE KING For the Troy Daily News tdneditorial@civitasmedia.com For Elizabeth Bowman Hereford, being a client of the Miami County Recovery Council (MCRC) has not only enabled her to get help for herself, but help others as well. “It gives more meaning in knowing you’re actually helping someone in need,” Hereford said. Hereford, 44, has been a client at MCRC for about two years, and began going there because of addiction to painkillers, alcoholism and mental illness. The Troy resident has two adult children, 23 and 21. Through being involved in the council’s women’s group, she has been able to help other women as well. The council is an outpatient substance abuse and prevention counseling agency, said Thom Grim, MCRC executive director. It treats adolescents and adults. MCRC has been around for 35 years, but in the past two years, it has been expanding into a dual diagnosis treatment center. The council now treats substance abuse and mental health issues (although mental health assistance is only available to those on Medicaid). “We can treat people from a more holistic perspective,” Grim said. Continued growth Through the council’s 35 years, it has changed, growing in staff from 20 to around 48 people. “We’ve changed a lot, we’ve gotten significantly bigger,” Grim said. “[We are able to] treat so many more people than we used to.” Grim originally got involved with MCRC in 1994 as a counselor, after working for Jacob Dettmer Residential, which no longer exists. Dettmer was a 90-day residential hospital-based program that often referred patients to MCRC for followup or after care. Grim was a counselor there and had a working relationship with MCRC. He said as inpatient programs were “getting more and more difficult to access,” due to insurance no longer covering them, he got tired of having to talk to insurance agencies about covering a few more days of care. “I saw the handwriting on the wall,” Grim said. He attributes much of MCRC’s growth to the closing of the Community Mental Health Center at Upper Valley Medical Center in 2010. MCRC integrated the dual diagnosis program UVMC had at that time. This integration involved hiring six people from UVMC, who brought their caseload with them. Before the integration, the council had about 600-700 clients. The integration added approximately 300, and today, the council has between

Asteroids

Newspaper Knowledge Study the periodic chart of the elements and then take a red magic marker and mark the appropriate chemical symbols on articles, ads and anything else that mentions an element.
Did You Know?
Asteroids are small, rocky bodies that have been left over from the formation of the planets 4.5 billion years ago. They are often known as “minor planets.” There are thought to be billions of these chunks of rock. Most of them lie in a doughnut-shaped “main belt“ between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. On the inner edge of this main belt, asteroids take about three years to orbit the sun. Those near the outer limit of the main belt take twice as long. The word “asteroid“ means “starlike,“ They were given this name because they can only be seen as points of light in most telescopes. By the early 20th century, astronomers were calling them the “vermin of the skies.“ They were visible in such large numbers that they were spoiling photographs of distant galaxies and nebulas. The largest of the asteroids, Ceres, was the first to be discovered. It was found by Giuseppi Piazzi from Palermo, Sicily, on Jan. 1, 1801. This was followed by Juno (1804) and A second minor planet – Pallas – Vesta (1807). Since 1847, not a year was found by Wilhelm Olbers in 1802.

Asteroids come in many shapes and sizes
NIE Coordinator: Dana Wolfe / Graphic Designer: Scarlett E. Smith
• Asteroids vary greatly in size, some feature diameters as small as ten meters while others stretch out over hundreds of kilometers. Note that objects under 10 meters in diameter are generally regarded as meteoroids. • The first asteroid was discovered in 1801 by Italian astronomer Giuseppe Piazzi. Named Ceres, it features a diameter of
around 950 kilometers and is now regarded as a dwarf planet. Ceres was given dwarf planet status in 2006, along with Pluto, Eris, Makemake and Haumea. • The asteroid belt lies roughly between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter in the solar system. It is home to a large amount of irregular shaped asteroids that range in size from dust through to the dwarf planet Ceres.

PERSPECTIVE

ANALYSIS
Obama proposal irks both sides WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama’s call for Congress to slow the rise in Social Security benefits is causing consternation inside both political parties, an inauspicious start for a recommendation the White House says should foster a bipartisan deal to reduce deficits. “I made a promise to the people of Rhode Island that I would always oppose cuts to Social Security, and I’m going to keep that promise,” said Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, a Democrat so politically secure that he won re-election last fall by a margin of nearly 2-1 over his rival. The proposal “is nothing more than a benefit cut disguised behind technical jargon,” he added in a written statement that called the plan by its budgetgeek name of “chained CPI.”. Democratic Rep. Louise Slaughter, a 14th-term lawmaker from the Rochester, N.Y., region, went one step further. “I urge the president to remove chained CPI, along with the Medicare cuts, from his budget because these crucial benefits have no place as a bargaining chip in a deficit reduction deal,” she said. Republicans, too, have been conflicted, curiously enough, in a way that only adds to Obama’s difficulties with his customary Democratic allies. Rep. Greg Walden of Oregon, in charge of the GOP campaign to keep control of the House in 2014, accused the president of “trying to balance this budget on the backs of seniors.” The assessment was jarringly at odds with the desire of many Republicans to wring savings from government benefit programs, and their support for the sort of change Obama is now publicly backing. In short order, House Speaker John Boehner made plain his disagreement with Walden, and sought to reframe the issue to make it sound like Obama was grudgingly moving toward Republicans on the issue. The president has recommended “modest reforms,” he told reporters, adding they were “the least we must do to begin to solve the problems of Social Security.” Walden got a different sort of slap from the Club for Growth, which spent millions in 2012 trying to help conservatives win election to Congress. The group quickly labeled the Oregon lawmaker a RINO Republican in name only and added him to its list of GOP incumbents who deserve a primary challenge from the right in next year’s elections. Older Americans tend to vote in disproportionately large numbers in non-residential elections, and given Walden’s position as head strategist for Republican candidates in 2014, Democrats quickly imagined he might seek to turn Obama’s proposal against them in television ads and campaign mailings in 18 months’ time. The White House rebutted. “The inclusion of entitlement reform, specifically chained CPI ... comes at the specific behest and request of Republican leaders,” White House press secretary Jay Carney said on Thursday. Without mentioning Walden by name, he referred to his comments as cynical and “flagrantly ridiculous.” Sharp rhetoric, for sure. But unlikely to satisfy Democratic lawmakers being pressured by the White House to vote for a change that many are inclined to oppose in the first place, and Obama will need all the support he can get from his own party if he hopes for a deal. That’s because Republicans are less than eager to take the president’s proposal on the terms he laid out on Wednesday. He called his own recommendation “less than optimal” and said he would insist that Republicans simultaneously agree to raise taxes on the wealthy and some businesses. “When it comes to deficit reduction, I’ve already met Republicans more than halfway,” he added.
EDITORIAL ROUNDUP Columbus (Ga.) LedgerEnquirer on Margaret Thatcher’s legacy: Any modern history that does not include Margaret Hilda Roberts Thatcher among the most important world leaders of the 20th century instantly sacrifices any claim to credibility. Former British Prime Minister Thatcher, who died Monday at 87, all but remade the United Kingdom of the 1980s in her own ladylike yet unyielding image, much as her friend and ally Ronald Reagan remade the United States in his. In many ways, Reagan and Thatcher were and are the bookends of late 20th century Western conservatism. Although Thatcher lacked Reagan’s seemingly effortless amiability, she was every bit
his match in resolve. The “Iron Lady” label came courtesy of Soviet journalists, and would soon become a term of admiration and, to some, endearment. Like Reagan, she came to power at a time when Britain was suffering from crises of both economics and national confidence, and saw bloated government as the heart of the problem. Her administration’s privatizing of state-run industries would hardly seem radical to most Americans: Among the government-operated institutions at the time were British Airways, Rolls-Royce, the coal and steel industries, a telecom company, gas, water and electrical utilities. Supporters credited her with an economic revival; critics accused her of insensitivity to the wretchedly poor and of
further widening England’s historically yawning social and economic chasms. But her convictions were unshakable. Thatcher is said, by foes and admirers alike, to have had an absolute confidence in her own rightness. It was a trait that sometimes worked to her and her country’s advantage, as when she astutely saw in Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev a possible end to the Cold War; and sometimes to her detriment, as when she imposed a hugely unpopular tax in 1989 and was eventually ousted by her own party. Thatcher was described as “a very divisive figure” by none other than Bernard Ingham, her own loyal press secretary. He also described her as “a patriot with a great love for this country.”

DOONESBURY
Lilly Pulitzer not a Lilliputian designer Troy Troy Daily News Her motto could have been, “Don’t cry over spilt orange juice.” Designer Lilly Pulitzer not only didn’t cry, she made lots of money camouflaging that juice. She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. After she married the grandson of Joseph Pulitzer, that spoon was often filled with orange juice. Grandson Pulitzer owned orange groves, see? You would think someone with the last name of Pulitzer would have a leg up in the journalism business, but Peter Pulitzer opted for fruit trees. Since there was so much orange juice lying around, Lilly decided to open a juice stand where she regularly spilled her product on her dress. Her idea was to design fabrics that would not show juice stains. Right now, dozens of people are slapping their foreheads, not because they could have had some other kind of juice, but because they did not come up with this wonderfully simple idea. Those simple ideas are always the best. Bill Gates’s idea was to invent the computer
Marla Boone Troy Daily News Columnist operating system that 90 percent of computers use. Warren Buffet’s idea was to pick nothing but winners in the stock market. J.D. Rockefeller’s idea was to control every drop of oil in the country. Lilly Pulitzer’s idea was to cut down on laundry. The orange print would, of course, hide orange juice stains. The yellow print would cover up lemon juice stains. The green print would not show the stains left from limes or from falling into a pile of the millions of dollars these prints earned her. I had never heard of Lilly Pulitzer until I read that she died last week. Her obituary detailed the background of her business start-up. I don’t own an orange tree
grove and I don’t run a juice stand. I don’t know the Pulitzers and apparently neither they nor their prize have ever heard of me. But I know a good idea when I read about one. What if, I wondered, I could tweak Lilly’s idea to suit my own lifestyle? My life revolves around rebuilding and flying old airplanes, keeping a three-acre lawn from reverting to jungle, and writing. I also, when driven to it by hunger, cook. My first thought was to design a fabric that would obscure oil stains. Everybody who works around machinery is marked with the stain of 10W30 on their clothes and a person can pour only so much OxyClean into the wash cycle. I am either messier than most or clumsier than most, because when I work around engines I end up with a lot of oil on my clothes. In my defense, many of these engines are very dirty. Also in my defense, I can be a klutz. Neither me nor my tee shirts are ever going to rust. To address the lawn issue, I would design clothes that cover
up grass stains. And dirt stains. And stepped-on bugs-includingthose-giant-crunchy-spider stains. And would also kill poison ivy. These clothes would make an ideal ensemble for pulling weeds and potting plants. If I have to say so myself, inventing a fabric that would prevent poison ivy is borderline genius. The writing isn’t too messy until the ink cartridge on the printer goes wackadoodle and has to be handled. At that point, a person doesn’t need ink-camouflage clothes as much as she needs a hazmat suit. As for the cooking, if the chicken ends up with more flour on it than I and the floor do, it’s considered a successful meal. My husband calls that cooking with a vengeance. But he eats it. A lot of the aforementioned messes could be averted if a person wore, you know, an apron. I’d like to ask Lilly why she didn’t do just that. But she died last week.

cination for polio, has died. He was 96. Although not as well-known as fellow researchers Jonas Salk and Albert Sabin, Koprowski in 1950 became the first to show it was possible to vaccinate against polio, the crippling and sometimes fatal disease that’s now all but eradicated. Koprowski’s son, Christopher, said Saturday that his father liked the scientific recognition his work received without the celebrity of Salk and Sabin. “He enjoyed not having his scientific work disrupted,” said Christopher Koprowski, chief of radiation oncology at Christiana Care Health System in Wilmington, Del. “Not that he was a modest individual, mind you.” Christopher Koprowski said his father had been sick for several months before dying Thursday in the same Wynnewood home he’d lived in since 1957. Hilary Koprowski self-administered the live-virus oral vaccine he developed before the 1950 clinical trial about two years before Salk’s injectable version using a dead form of the virus began testing with the backing of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, now the March of Dimes. Sabin, who Koprowski’s son said sometimes collaborated with his father, was the first to get the more effective oral version, which didn’t require boosters, licensed for use in the U.S. Koprowski went on to be the director of The Wistar Institute in Philadelphia from 1957 to 1991. Under his leadership, the independent research institution developed a rubella vaccine that helped eradicate the disease in much of the world, Wistar officials said. It was during that time the institute also developed a more effective rabies vaccine. A talented musician, the Poland-born Koprowski was a penniless immigrant in Rio de Janeiro making money teaching piano before hooking up with a lab there and eventually moving to the United States, his son said. “He was a great dad. He was colorful, charismatic,” Christopher Koprowski said. “He’s still the most brilliant person I’ve ever met.”

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
It is time for Missy to seek help from a doctor Dear Annie: I have been friends with "Missy" for a long time. She hates her husband's sister and hasn't allowed them to speak to each other for years. The sister is not allowed to come anywhere near Missy's house. Last year, things got worse. Missy has five grown children. Four of them remain in touch with "Aunt Martha." As a result, three months ago, Missy sent them letters stating she was no longer going to be a mother, grandmother or great-grandmother to their families. For some reason, she is still close to the fifth child, even though that one also talks to Aunt Martha. This makes me so sad. I attended her granddaughter's bridal shower, and Missy wasn't there. The granddaughter's wedding is next month. Missy and her husband are the only grandparents this child has, and they won't attend. I don't care if Missy dislikes her sister-in-law, but I cannot fathom how she can take it out on her grandchildren. I think she needs professional help. She is missing out on so much. She has taken her husband's family away from him, and he won't stand up to her. They aren't young anymore, and I would hate for something to happen to them without this getting resolved. I feel terrible about this situation and don't know whether there is anything I can do. I'm afraid if I say anything, I will lose her friendship. — Feeling Helpless Dear Helpless: You are right that Missy could use professional help. She is drowning in bitterness and anger and taking it out on everyone around her instead of dealing with her issues. We also feel sorry for her spineless husband, who should have stood up to his wife long ago and now risks losing everyone he loves. There's not much you can do to remedy this. You could gently ask Missy whether it's worth losing her children and grandchildren. Should Missy bemoan her relationships to you, first recommend that she talk to her doctor (sometimes these extreme personality issues are due to medical problems), and then suggest that she and the kids go together for family counseling. Dear Annie: You sometimes print readers' pet peeves. Here's mine: I cringe every time I hear "Waddya got," "I don't got," "I got" and so forth. Whatever happened to the words "going" and "have"? It's one thing to hear "ain't" and "ain't got" all the time in popular songs. But it really kills me to hear TV professionals speaking improperly. Have we become so lazy that everything we hear is acceptable? — Albany, N.Y. Dear Albany: Language, particularly English, is a fluid entity. It changes over time. Words once considered slang become standard. Made-up words enter the lexicon. Some of these adaptations are beneficial. Others, not so much. One would hope that professional broadcasters would be more circumspect about proper language, but too many people, including professionals and those who write for them, are unaware of exactly what that means. What isn't taught and reinforced, in school and in life, becomes forgotten. Dear Annie: This is for "Heartbroken in Florida": My condolences on the loss of your husband to the devastating disease of alcoholism. Please know there is hope for a serene and happy life regardless of your current circumstances. Consider attending at least six AlAnon meetings, a support group for family members and friends who live or have lived with alcohol abuse. I did this years ago. You can contact Al-Anon at alanon.org or through their toll-free number for group meeting information at 1-888-4Al-Anon (1-888-4252666). — Extremely Grateful in Wisconsin Dear Grateful: Thank you for the useful suggestion. We hope it helps. Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE
Sound off: Finger-lickin’ not always so good Dear Readers: Here is this week’s Sound Off, about people spreading germs: “Since we had such a bad flu season, I have a huge pet peeve. Some people have a habit of licking their fingers to open plastic bags, turn pages on a book or leaf through pages of paper. I know for some it’s been a lifelong habit, but they must realize that they are spreading germs and disease when they do so. Make them stop! — Maria from New Jersey” Maria, I’m with you! This is a disgusting and unhealthy habit for many reasons. Folks, please stop and think for a second. Worse? When someone licks a thumb to count money, then
Hints from Heloise Columnist hands it to you! I don’t want to think how many people have done the same with that bill! — Heloise FAST FACTS Dear Readers: Other uses for cleaned-out candle jars: • Store screws, nails, etc. • Keep by the dryer to collect things left in pockets.
• Collect change in one. • Use to keep extra buttons for clothing. • Make a “love jar” with little notes for your loved one. — Heloise FIXTURE POLISH Dear Heloise: My chrome bathroom fixtures have a lot of hard-water buildup on them from soap and dirt. Do you have an easy way to get them clean and “polished”-looking again? — Shelly in New York Sure do, Shelly! I have an easy hint that uses my favorite household product — vinegar! Using undiluted vinegar and a microfiber cloth, wipe the bathroom fixtures and let the vinegar
sit for a minute or two, rub with the cloth and then rinse with water. If you have really hard-toremove water stains, take a tissue, cover the area, then dampen with vinegar. Let it sit for a while. Then use a scrub brush, rinse and dry. Vinegar is a great product to have handy. For more of my favorite vinegar hints, order my pamphlet Heloise’s Fantabulous Vinegar Hints and More. Send $5 with a long, self-addressed, stamped (66 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Vinegar, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. FYI: You can remove and soak the faucet’s aerator in vinegar to remove lime and hard-water buildup. — Heloise

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Tuesday, April 16, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your home routine will be interrupted today. Small appliances might break down, or minor breakages could occur. Be patient if domestic arguments break out, especially with females. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You feel emotionally impulsive today, which is why this is an accident-prone day for you. Your emotional distraction could make something go wrong. Nevertheless, you can do some practical planning. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Keep an eye on your money today, because you might find money or lose it. You also might lose something you own or have it stolen. Stay alert! CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Difficulties with authority figures might arise today because of power struggles. Be careful. Don’t throw your weight around. Instead, make plans for future social events or sports activities. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Because you feel restless, this could be an accident-prone day for you. If you try to research or work behind the scenes, you will accomplish a lot. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Minor upsets might occur with others in group situations, especially females. Don’t be pushy. Go with the flow. Discussions about future plans could be solid. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) While making long-range plans for your career, particularly practical plans, you might have a dispute with a partner or close friend. Just let it blow over. Focus on your future. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Travel plans might be changed or canceled today. Ditto for anything having to do with higher education. Avoid disputes about religion, politics and racial issues. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Stay in touch with your bank account, because something unusual might occur. (You might bounce a check.) Stay on top of things; a little research will help things from getting worse. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You have to compromise with others because the Moon is opposite your sign. Talk to someone older to get his or her advice. Be patient with family. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Your work routine will be interrupted today because computer crashes, power outages and staff shortages are likely. However, discussions with bosses and experienced employees are beneficial. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You might be overcharged for a social event or something related to vacations, hotels and sports. Keep your eyes open. An older relative can benefit you in the care of children. YOU BORN TODAY You have a great sense of humor and are obliging with others. You enjoy a good laugh. You’re loyal to friends and family; nevertheless, you have to follow your fantasies and dreams. Other people might dismiss your dreams, but you shouldn’t. They’re real. Good news. Your year ahead might be one of the most powerful years of your life. (Dream big!) Birthdate of: Charlie Chaplin, actor/director; Dusty Springfield, singer; Pope Benedict XVI, Pope Emeritus.

Castro arrived in Washington to begin a goodwill tour of the United States. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles resigned for health reasons (he was succeeded by Christian A. Herter). • Today’s Birthdays: Rock singer-guitarist Dave Edmunds is 69. Actor Michael Tucci is 67. Actress Lois Chiles is 66. Columnist Heloise is 62. Actress-screenwriter Emma Thompson is 54.

Wharton picks Stanford Teammate Koch will run for Fighting Irish BY COLIN FOSTER Sports Writer colinfoster@civitasmedia.com Tippecanoe’s Sam Wharton is known for running long distances in a short time. It’s unlikely, however, that he could get to Stanford in his record-fast time of 14:56 that he posted at the Footlocker Midwest Meet this year. Wharton recently announced he will continue his running and academic career as a Stanford Cardinal. The senior will run indoor and outdoor track, along with
TIPP CITY cross country — the sport he excelled in during the fall where he won the first Division I state title of his career. He had narrowed his list of schools down to Colorado, Wisconsin, Stanford and Ohio State. But in his mind, the environment in Northern California was too tempting to pass up. “It’s a little less rainy, a little less warm, it’s a different environment. It’s about a 40minute drive from San Francisco,” Wharton said.
“That area just kind of has the perfect balance of everything. It has nice weather, the financial aid worked out (and) I think it had the collective package. “I knew in my gut I wanted to go to Stanford. I just wanted to weigh my options.” Before he arrives in California, however, he has one last hurdle to climb: winning a state title in track.

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Mat Latos (55) delivers in the first inning of a baseball game against the Pittsburgh Pirates Sunday in Pittsburgh.
Wheels falling off Pirates hand Reds fifth-straight loss PITTSBURGH (AP) — Michael McKenry knows he isn’t going to get many curtain calls as a backup catcher. So he savored the moment Sunday when he was called out of the dugout following his second home run of the day, a drive that tied the game as the Pittsburgh Pirates overcame a five-run, seventh-inning deficit to beat the Cincinnati Reds 10-7. “Neil Walker pushed me out of the dugout and told me to go to tip my cap,” McKenry said. “It was special. It’s good to have good teammates who want you to get recognized,and it’s great to have the fans be so supportive and cheer that hard for you. A guy in my position, you just don’t expect it.”
McKenry got his curtain call after his two-run drive made it 66 in a six-run eighth inning against Jonathan Broxton (0-1). McKenry had the first twohomer game of his four-year major league career, and Starling Marte hit a tiebreaking two-run drive. Cincinnati has lost five straight, its longest slide since last Aug. 5-9. The Pirates swept the Reds for the first time since April 16-18, 2010, in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh trailed 5-0 when McKenry homered off Mat Latos leading off the seventh.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Adam Scott finished the job this time, and put an end to more than a half-century of Australian misery at the Masters. With the two biggest putts of his career, Scott holed a 20-footer for birdie on the 18th hole of regulation that put him into a playoff with Angel Cabrera, and then won his first major championship Sunday with a 12-footer for birdie on the second extra hole. “We like to think we’re the best at everything. Golf is a big sport at home, and this is the one thing in golf we hadn’t been able to achieve,” Scott said. “It’s amazing that it’s my destiny to be the first Australian to win. It’s incredible.” Scott leaned back and thrust his arms in the air after the putt dropped on the 10th hole, a celebration for all of Australia and personal redemption for himself. It was only last summer when Scott threw away the British Open by making bogey on his last four holes to lose by one shot to Ernie Els. The 32-year-old handled that crushing defeat with dignity and pledged to finish stronger given another chance. “Next time I’m sure there will be a next time I can do a better job of it,” he said that day. Scott was close to perfect, and he had to be with Cabrera delivering some brilliance of his own. Moments after Scott made his 20-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole for a 3-under 69 to take a one-shot lead “C’mon, Aussie!” he screamed Cabrera answered with an approach that plopped down 3 feet from the cup, one of the greatest shots under the circumstances. That gave him an easy birdie and a 2-under 70. They finished at 9-under 279. They both chipped close for par on the 18th in the first playoff hole, and Cabrera’s 15-foot birdie putt on the 10th grazed the right side of the cup.

14-year-old Guan amazes at Masters White Sox take down Indians, 3-1 Sunday began on a high note for Michael Bourn and the Cleveland Indians. The day ended with a 3-1 loss to the Chicago White Sox that could affect the team beyond one game. See Page 14.

AUGUSTA
AUGUSTA—The late Dixie Rutherford, longtime pro at Miami Shores Golf Club in Troy, always used to say golf was a game for adults. He might have changed his mind if he had lived long enough to see a 14-year-old not only play in the Masters but play well
enough to make the cut. China’s Tianlang Guan had the golf world buzzing here this week. The only amateur to make the cut, the 14-year-old eighth grader shot 73-75-77-76. He got in the field by winning the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship in November, becoming the youngest player in
Masters history. Specifically, he was 14 years, 5 months, 17 days old when play began on Thursday “It’s amazing, ” said former Masters champion Gary Player. “I thought he might shoot 83, 84, something like that.” When golf agent Chubby Chandler, whose No. 1 client is Lee Westwood, was asked about Guan, he just smiled and pointed

to his head. Guan was paired with twotime winner Ben Crenshaw in the first two rounds and received some simple advice from Ben. “Mr. Ben Crenshaw just told me to play my own game and have fun,” Guan said. He even survived a penalty shot, the first for slow play in Masters history.

Signings ■ CONTINUED FROM 13 a personal best time of 9:01.24. Wharton, however, isn’t the only Tipp runner that will take his talents to the next level. Grant Koch will be running at the Division I college level for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. “This fall, I got a recruitment letter from Notre Dame for track,” Koch explained. “I was kind of looking at colleges, but I was just in preliminary stages at that point.
When I got that letter, that narrowed it down quickly, because I wanted to go to Notre Dame. “In the middle of November, I took official visit there. I knew that it was going to be college for me. I had looked at UD (Dayton) and Ohio State. I had been around those places before. Some of my brothers and sisters went there. I went to Notre Dame and I loved it. They said they had a spot for me. By early December, I had made my decision.”

year-old Guan Tianlang that nearly kept the Chinese teen from becoming the youngest player to make the cut. There was the illegal drop by Tiger Woods, who was given a two-shot penalty over questions and confusion about why he was not disqualified for signing an incorrect card. And at the end, there was shot-making at its finest. Scott didn’t make a bogey after the first hole, and he really didn’t miss a shot the rest of the day on a rainy Sunday at Augusta. He just couldn’t get a putt to fall until it really mattered. Then, he made two of them. Day closed with a 70, his second close call at the Masters in three years. This one hurt far more because he had a two-shot lead when he stepped to the 16th tee. He ran off three bold birdies down the stretch getting up-and-down from the back bunker on the 13th, a 10-foot putt on the 14th, and capitalizing on a break at No. 15 when his drive ricocheted out of the trees into the fairways, allowing him to reach the green in two. His lead vanished just as quickly, however. Day chose to hit putter from behind the 16th green, came up 5 feet short and missed the par putt. He hit into a bunker on the 17th for another bogey. “I think the pressure got to me a little bit,” Day said. The tournament unfolded behind him, and it turned out to be quite a show. Scott hit the ball beautifully the entire day and watched one putt after another turn away from the hole. But he also received perhaps the biggest break of the tournament when his shot into the par-5 13th spun back off the green and was headed down the slope into the tributary of Rae’s Creek when it suddenly stopped, a blessing from a day spent in the rain. He got up-and-down for birdie, and he two-putted for birdie on the 15th.

Notebook ■ CONTINUED FROM 13 The official statement: “Tianlang Guan was assessd a one-shot penalty for violation of Rule 6-7 of the Rules of Golf and the Tournament Pace of Play policy. His group was deemed out of position on No. 10. Guan began being timed on 12 and received his first warning on 13. He was penalized following his second shot on 17 when he again exceeded the 40 second time limit by a wide margin.” Crenshaw and others felt the penalty was a little over the top, considering it was the first in 77 years. “I wish they would have made an example out of someone other than a 14year-old kid,” said Brandt Snedeker. The penalty didn’t seem to bother Guan. He got up and down for par from a greenside bunker on the 18th to make the cut on the number. “I respect the decision they make. I will work on playing faster.” A couple of stats that

Masters ■ CONTINUED FROM 13 With his long putter anchored against his chest, Scott’s putt was true all the way. The Masters had been the only major that never had a champion use a long putter. Scott’s win means four of the last six major champions used a putter pressed against their belly or chest, a stroke that might be banned in 2016. What mattered more to Scott was that the Masters had been the only major an Australian had never won. He was among dozens of golfers who routinely rose in the early hours of Monday morning for the telecast, only to watch a horror show. The leading character was Greg Norman, who had four good chances to win, none better than when he blew a six-shot lead on the last day to Nick Faldo in 1996. There was Jim Ferrier in 1952 and Bruce Crampton 20 years later. Scott and Jason Day tied for second just two years ago. Norman, though, was the face of Aussie failures at the Masters, and Scott paid him tribute in Butler Cabin before he slipped on that beautiful green jacket. “Australian is a proud sporting nation, and this is one notch in the belt we never got,” Scott said. “It’s amazing that it came down to me today. But there’s one guy who inspired a nation of golfers, and that’s Greg Norman. He’s been incredible to me and all the great golfers. Part of this belongs to him.” Scott was just as gracious in victory as he was last summer at Royal Lytham & St. Annes. He and Cabrera flashed a thumbs-up to each other after their shots into the 10th hole in the playoff, and they walked off the 10th green with their arms around each other when it was over. “Such is golf,” Cabrera said. “Adam is a good winner.” It was a riveting conclusion to a week filled with some awkward moments. There was the one-shot penalty called against 14-
Koch said he expects to be in a reserve role on the cross country team for the first few years in South Bend, while he focuses mainly on track. At the Division I state cross country meet this year, Koch placed 57th in a time of 16:13. He finished sixth at the state track meet last season in the 800 with a time of 1:55.25.

were impressive … Guan didn’t have a double bogey in 72 holes and didn’t have a three putt. “I think the first couple of rounds I play pretty good,” he said. “I feel a little tired today There’s still a lot of things to improve. My short game is good, and my driver needs to be longer.” Guan played the final round with former winner here Sandy Lyle. And he was impressed. “He hits the ball a reasonable distance and in another three years you’ll see a huge difference in his length,” Lyle said. “His short game is very good,, and that’s a nice thing to have.” He’s not sure what his schedule is for the rest of the year, but he’s likely to receive some sponsor exemptions. He’s exempt into the final qualifying stage for the British Open. What about turning pro? “It won’t be too early,” he said. “There’s still a lot of things to learn, to improve. So, nothing to rush.”
White Sox top Tribe CLEVELAND (AP) — Sunday began on a high note for Michael Bourn and the Cleveland Indians. The day ended with a 31 loss to the Chicago White Sox that could affect the team beyond one game. Bourn, who homered on White Sox starter Jake Peavy’s first pitch to account for Cleveland’s only run, could miss several games after receiving five stitches to close a laceration on his right index finger. Bourn was injured in the eighth inning when his hand was stepped on by pitcher Matt Thornton while making a headfirst slide into first base. He had hit a slow grounder that was fielded by first baseman Adam Dunn, who tossed to Thornton. He was safe, but remained on one knee for a few moments and was examined by manager Terry Francona and a trainer before being removed. The outfielder, who signed a four-year, $48 million contract with the Indians in February, says he will not be able to play until the stitches are removed. “We’ll wait for it to heal,” he said. “No ligaments were messed up. No joints were messed up. I knew something was wrong. I felt pain when I got up. I’ll probably be in a little pain for the next day or two, but other than that I should be fine.” Bourn said he doubted he’d play Tuesday when the Indians open a threegame series with Boston at Progressive Field. He hasn’t been given a timetable by the team’s medical staff on when he will return. “We’ll see how long it takes,” he said. “It shouldn’t take too long from what (the doctor) said. I’ll just take it day by day. You can’t tell right now because it’s real fresh.” Bourn said he had a similar injury earlier in his career, which also occurred when he dove headfirst trying to beat out a ground ball. “I was just trying to get to the bag before he did,” Bourn said.

Cleveland Indians second baseman Ryan Raburn avoids Chicago White Sox’s Jeff Keppinger (7) after throwing to first to complete a double play on Alex Rios in the sixth inning of a baseball game Sunday in Cleveland. The White Sox went on to win 3-1. on Sunday, is batting .333 in 10 games. His home run was a line drive that landed in Chicago’s bullpen, but it might have served to fire up Peavy, who struck out 11 in seven innings and retired 12 straight at one point. “I got him going after I hit the bomb,” Bourn said. “He was tough on us.” Francona gave full credit to Peavy, who improved to 4-0 in five career starts against Cleveland. “Bournie kind of ambushed him the first pitch of the game, but after that we didn’t have many opportunities to score until late,” Francona said. “He’s just a really good veteran pitcher.”
Indians starter Brett Myers turned in his best outing of the young season. The right-hander took a four-hit shutout into the sixth, but Paul Konerko’s two-run homer gave Chicago the lead for good as the White Sox broke a five-game losing streak and won for the first time on the road this season. Myers allowed 14 earned runs, including seven homers, in 10 1-3 innings in his first two appearances, but held the White Sox to four hits through five. “I’m really encouraged,” he said. “I felt comfortable. I was able to get the ball down. One pitch cost me.” After Jeff Keppinger
reached on third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall’s error to begin the sixth, Alex Rios bounced into a double play. Dunn walked and Konerko hit a 3-1 pitch into the bleachers. The home run was the second of the season for Konerko, who has hit 30 or more home runs seven times in his career. “I feel like I’m climbing a little bit,” he said. “I feel better. I wouldn’t say I’m clicking on all cylinders, but just trying to grind through here.” Konerko has 16 career home runs and 75 RBIs at Progressive Field. He leads active players with 47 homers and 173 RBIs against the Indians.
Cincinnati’s Brandon Phillips drove in three runs on a pair of singles, a day after attending his grandfather’s funeral. Cincinnati’s Shin-Soo Choo had two hits and has reached base in all 12 games this season. Todd Frazier broke an 0-for-16 slump with a third-inning single and Chris Heisey ended a string of 14 hitless at-bats with a single in the second. The Reds’ Joey Votto led off the ninth with his first home run since June 24. He also drew three walks. Pirates starter Phil Irwin had a rocky major league debut. He was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis to replace left-hander Wandy Rodriguez, who strained his left hamstring Monday.
A 21st-round draft pick from the University of Mississippi in 2009, Irwin allowed five runs four earned six hits and four walks in 4 2-3 innings while striking out four. “As I much as I tried to stay calm and act like I was calm, nerves got the better of me early on,” Irwin said. “I finally settled down in the third inning and I thought I did OK after that.” Latos gave up three runs and nine hits in 6 2-3 innings. He is 4-0 with a 2.55 ERA in 10 starts dating to August and has 48 strikeouts in 45 innings during seven career starts against the Pirates. “It’s a tough loss, the toughest one we’ve had in a long time,” Baker said. “That was a rough day for all of us.”
■ Major League Baseball
Reds ■ CONTINUED FROM 13 boosted Cincinnati’s lead to 6-4 in the eighth, but Broxton walked Pedro Alvarez leading off the bottom half and McKenry’s second homer tied it. Jose Tabata walked with one out, and Marte’s first home run of the season gave the Pirates an 8-6 lead. “You just don’t expect to do that kind of damage against pitchers Latos and Broxton,” McKenry said. “They’re very good pitchers, and Latos has been particularly tough on us. I didn’t know if we’d get to him the way he was pitching.” Pitcher Jonathan Sanchez pinch hit for Hughes and reached on Broxton’s third walk of the inning and scored on Gaby Sanchez’s sacrifice fly. Neil Walker added an RBI sin-
gle. Pittsburgh’s three homers doubled its total this season. The Pirates have 32 runs during a 5-1 spurt after scoring eight in a 1-5 start. The two homers and six runs allowed tied career highs for Broxton, a nineyear veteran. Reds manager Dusty Baker attributed Broxton’s struggles to rustiness as he had not pitched in a week. “He warmed up three times yesterday just to try to stay sharp,” Baker said. “We need to get him some work. We need to start getting some more leads so we can get him in there more often.” Walker had three hits for Pittsburgh, while Snider hit two doubles, and Marte and McCutchen had two hits each.

Keselowski mad at NASCAR
Perfect weather expected at Boston Marathon
Defending Sprint Cup champ upset after Texas FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Brad Keselowski had plenty of good things to say about his team for all it overcame for another top-10 finish. As for his feelings about NASCAR, the defending Sprint Cup champion is pretty angry these days. “The things I’ve seen over the last seven days have me questioning everything that I believe in, and I’m not happy about it,” Keselowski said in the garage area after Saturday night’s race at Texas. Before the race that Kyle Busch won to complete a weekend sweep, NASCAR confiscated the original rear-end housing from Keselowski’s No. 2 Ford and the No. 22 of Joey Logano, his Penske Racing teammate. That could lead to penalties, including possibly suspensions, the loss of championship points and fines. Logano was late to the starting grid because of the additional inspections after changes, and he had to start at the back of the field. He charged to a fifth-place finish, four spots ahead of Keselowski, who kept his starting spot of 16th. “I have one good thing to say, and that was my team and the effort they put in today, in fighting back with the absolute (expletive) that’s been the last seven days in this garage area,” Keselowski said. Keselowski, who has six top-10 finishes and is second in season points behind Jimmie Johnson,

He still disputes that. “There’s so much stuff going on. You guys have no idea … what’s going on,” Keselowski said. “I could tell you there is nobody, no team in this garage with the integrity of the 2 team. And the way we’ve been treated over the last seven days is absolutely shameful. “I feel like we’ve been targeted over the last seven days more than I’ve ever seen a team targeted,” he said. “But my guys, they kept their heads on straight and they show-
cased why they are a winning team and a championship team. We’re not going to take it. We’re not going to be treated this way.” NASCAR had no immediate response to Keselowski’s comments. Keselowski met with NASCAR chairman Brian France before the Daytona 500 after a lengthy profile piece in USA Today in which the driver made wide-ranging and sometimes critical comments about the direction of the sport. After the Texas race, Keselowski said there is so much stuff going on
now that he could “make a list two pages long.” Busch completed his NASCAR record seventh Cup-Nationwide weekend sweep, and second this season, with his Texas two-step at the 1 1/2-mile, high-banked track. After winning the Nationwide race the previous night, Busch started from the pole Saturday and led 171 of 334 laps. It was his 26th career Cup victory, first at Texas, where he became the first driver to win in each of NASCAR’s top three series also with six Nationwide wins and two in trucks there.
Busch regained the lead from Martin Truex Jr. during the last caution. After a strong restart with 16 laps to go, Busch stayed in front and won by a half-second with an average speed of 144.751 mph. He credited his No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota crew for the victory in his 300th career start. “They won me the race getting me off pit road first, being able to dictate the restart and just run a hard pace there,” said Busch, who was later asked if he would have been able to catch Truex without that final caution, and if he would have then been able to get around him. “That’s a lot of ifs, and unfortunately, I don’t really have an answer for you,” he said. “But I’d like to say that we had a shot at him.” Truex has now gone 210 races since his last Cup victory in June 2007, a span in which he has finished second six times. His Michael Waltrip Racing Toyota led 142 laps at Texas after not being in front any of the first six races this season. NASCAR discovered a problem afterward, saying that the No. 56 was too low in the front. The sanctioning body said the issue would be looked at further and addressed in the next few days. “Finishing second is good. I’m not saying that’s not the case. It’s just when you’ve been so close to winning so many times since your last one, it really sucks to run that good and finish second,” said Truex, who did move from 25th to 16th in season points. “Circumstances, the way they play out sometimes, they go that way. … Second is a great accomplishment, but it’s not what we’re here for.”

76ers thump Cavs, 91-77 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Dorell Wright scored 15 points and Thaddeus Young had 14 points and nine rebounds to lead the Philadelphia 76ers to 91-77 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday. Spencer Hawes and Jrue Holiday both scored 14 points for the Sixers. The Sixers raced to a 19point lead in the first half and sent the Cavaliers to their fourth straight loss. Tristan Thompson had 12 points and 12 rebounds for the Cavaliers. Kevin Jones had 11 points and 10
rebounds. Kyrie Irving scored four points in 18 minutes. The Sixers finished 23-18 at home in a season that has them at 3347 and in ninth place in the Eastern Conference. The Sixers won 35 games and a round in the playoffs in last year’s lockout-shortened season. Hoping to build on that momentum, the Sixers broke up the nucleus of a team full of solid players and went big for a superstar. Instead of a deep playoff run, the Sixers have a date with the draft lottery.

BOSTON (AP) — The heat was unprecedented and so was the offer: Any of the 27,000 runners in last year’s Boston Marathon could skip the race and automatically qualify for the 2013 edition instead. About 2,300 people took race organizers up on the deal. Smart move. By re-starting their training and postponing their plans for a year, they are expected to be greeted with temperatures in the mid-50s today when the 117th Boston Marathon reaches Copley Square. Perfect running weather good news not just for the runners but for organizers coming off a year in which the record-setting heat sent record numbers of runners for medical attention. “We got a bye,” race director Dave McGillivray said this week. “And that’s good, because we need this year to regroup.” A year after perfect weather helped pace Geoffrey Mutai to the fastest marathon in history, forecasts for the 2012 race climbed toward 90 degrees and Boston Athletic Association encouraged any inexperienced or ill runners to stay home. For those that decided to brave sweltering pavement that reached triple digits, extra water and doctors were available. Winner Wesley Korir cramped up in the final mile but moved back into first place when those ahead of him faded even faster. His heat-slowed time of 2 hours, 12 minutes, 40 seconds was almost 10 minutes slower than Mutai’s 2:03:02. Sharon Cherop completed the Kenyan sweep, outkicking Jemima Jelagat Sumgong to win by 2 seconds in 2:31:50. The women’s winner was decided by a sprint down Boylston Street for the fifth consecutive year all of them decided by 3 seconds or less. Both defending champions are back, leading a field that includes not just one American contender but two both on the women’s side: Olympic bronze medalist Shalane Flanagan, of nearby Marblehead, and her training partner, Kara Goucher, a twotime Top 5 finisher here. “I was a little girl, just north of here, and dreamed of running this race. It’s surreal,” said Flanagan, who finished second in the New York City Marathon in 2010 and finished 10th at the London Olympics. “I expect a hard run. I expect to die a thousand deaths. I don’t know what to expect.” No U.S. runner has won the race since Lisa LarsenWeidenbach took the women’s title in 1985; the last American man to win was Greg Meyer in 1983. Jason Hartmann, who was fourth last year, is the top American contender on the men’s side after Olympians Meb Keflezighi and Ryan Hall withdrew because of injuries. “This needs to happen,” Goucher said. “We want an American to win, period.” Korir, a Louisville alum, can continue a remarkable year for the Cardinals. After he won last year, Louisville followed that up with a victory in the Sugar Bowl and the men’s basketball national championship while losing in the finals of the women’s NCAA tournament. Korir, who graduated in 2008, said he worked on the maintenance crew in the basketball team’s dorm and knew Peyton Siva. He said watched the men’s championship game against Michigan and drew inspiration from the Cardinals’ late comeback. “The way they are patient, the way they wait to kill the competition until the end of race, it’s very educational,” Korir said. “The winner is not the one that starts fastest. (That is) definitely my strategy.”
