This morning's commute is likelytobe a soggy one. More rain is expected in Sonora and across the Mother Lode now through Wednesday morning, with achance of I to 2 inches of rain for foothill communities. Forecasters are c a lling this a "wintry storm system," and it's expected to be "much wetter, snowier, and bring a greater chance of thunderstorms than S u nday's system,"according to the ¹ tional Weather Service. Overnight lows of about 36 degrees are possible tonight in the Sonora area, with highs today in the mid-50s and Wednesday in the upper 50s to near 60. Thursday and Fhday are expected to be clear with highs in the low 70s in the foothills. D epending on how t h e current storm system tracks, thunderstorm activity with heavy rain and hail are pos-

Groveland CSD provides treated water to about 3,500 customers in a roughly 15-square-mileservice area that includes Big Oak Flat, Groveland and PineMountain Lake. Swan said district board members have heard the State Water Resources Control Board may impose a per capita water-use requirement on local districts.

We'll have to see that to know what that means," Swan said. "We know that we're going to take some action, and we will comply. We have to know what the expectations are first." In other district business Monday, the board voted5-0 to continue a district emergency declared in June in response to the City and County of San Francisco's Lower Cherry Aqueduct Project. The district gets water from Hetch Hetchy Reservoir in Yosemite National

A recently completed project that expanded Mono Way to five lanes between Greenley Road and Fir Drive received the final stamp of approval from the Sonora City Council at M onday's meeting. City Engineer Gerard Fuccillo said the final punch list of corrections and extra work to close out the project was completed on March 30. The council congratulated both Fuccillo and Modesto-based contractor George Reed Inc. "All in all, I think George Reed did an excellent job on the project," Fuccillo said. The final cost of constructioncame out to a little m ore than $3.7 million, and just

il 0 Wl OWBI S,

u avoi e is Maybe a silver lining to the unusually warm and dry weather we're experiencing this year: Our hills are flush with wildflowers normally scarce until late spring. You can enjoy seeing the lupines, golden poppies, Indian paintbrush, monkey flowers, etc. along Highways 4, 49, 108 and 120 — not to mention many popular trails like the Table Mountain trail in Jamestown, the old Westside railroad-grade trail abutting the township of Tuolumne, and in the Red Hills, located outside Chinese Camp. Hurry, or you might miss out.... Speaking of the Red Hills, a recent photo on the front page of The Union Democrat featured school children studying wildlife at the "area of critical environmental concern"managed by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. A knowledgeable person called the newsroom to say the photos sent the wrong message to readers, since some of the kids were collecting a Red Hills roach fish in Horton Creek. The 2-inch critters are apparently exceedingly rare and astate-listed "speciesofspecialconcern"— i.e.,you're not supposed to mess with them. This was obviously an innocent mistake, but, if you head out there, you're advised to leave the fish alone....

The conversationabout the roach fi sh brought up another interesting topic — at least an interesting topic for newspaper people and many sharp-eyed readers. The caller initially demanded the paper print a"retraction" for running the photo. Retractions are a frequent point of confusion, since it seems like they're synonymous with"corrections" or "clarifications."

For clarification, when you call a paper demanding a"retraction," you are making a specific legal demand. You are sayingtherehas been a libelthatneeds to be corrected in a special way or a lawsuit will be filed. A retraction is a legal mechanism whereby papers reduce unwarranted damage to a person's reputation and also limit liability. They are usually lengthy explanations of the mistake and arewrapped in an apology to the aggrieved party. They are always printed in a part of the paper that is at least as conspicuous as the original article in questionusually the same spot. Retractions are exceedingly rare. "Corrections" are run for more-routine types of errorslike when a wrong or misspelled name, an incorrect date or place, or an inaccurate description ofa situation or relationship,etc.wa s presented. This paper corrects errors of fact that are found either by our staff or reported by readers. Unlike most newspapers, we print these on the front page. "Clarifications" help better explain a situation that may have been incompletely represented or that, left unclarified, might leave a reader with the wrong impression. A clarification might go like this: An Al photo showing school children collecting a roach fish in the Red Hills may have sent the wrong message to readers. People are discouraged from touching or otherwise bothering the fish because, according to the state Fish and Wildlife Department, they are exceedingly rare and subject to future listing as an endangered species.... That said, enjoy the wildflowers (and don't pick them, because some growing on public lands are legally protected).

GUEST COLUMN

Gay rights: GOP should look to Reagan It wasnot a pretty sight. Republican officeholders in Indiana an Arkansas, having been charged by not just their political opponents but also their strongest corporate allies (think Wal-Mart and NASCAR) with damaging the states' images and the business climate by passing legislation to effectively give legal sanction to discrimination against citizens who are gay, publicly panicked. They ducked. They bobbed, and they weaved, backtracking all the while, assuring us that some of their better friendsare,yes,gay orlesbian. The result — along with the end, beforeitbegan, of the presidential campaign of Indiana Gov. Mike Pence — was much egg on many Republican faces. This soap opera has taught us that Republican candidates, whether for the local library board or for the White House, are forever invoking the name and the inspiring legacy of President Ronald Reagan. What has become obvious — especially among the GOPs 2016 presidential hopefuls, most of whom enthusiastically embraced the Indiana law and Arkansas bill before beating a hasty retreatin the face ofthe politicalbacklash — is that they are totally ignorant of the Gipper's exceptional leadership on gay rights. The year was 1978. Having previouslyrun, briefl y,for the 1968 nomination against Richard Nixon and having unsuccessfully challenged President Gerald Ford in the 1976 primaries all

Mark Shields the way to the Kansas City convention,

Reagan, who would be 69 before the 1980 election, was preparing to make his third and final White House run. The national political mood in 1978 was openly hostile to gay rights. Actresssinger Anita Bryant, through her Save Our Children organization, had led a successful effort to overturn an ordinance in Dade County, Florida, that was anti-discrimination against gays. Similar repeals of ordinances protecting gay rights had been passed by voters in St. Paul, Minnesota; Wichita, Kansas; and Eugene, Oregon. In California, where Reagan had twice been elected governor, Republican state Sen. John Briggs, an ardent conservative, was pushing a statewide ballot initiative that would ban any gay or lesbian teachers from the classrooms of the state's public schools. Polls showed voters backing the Briggs Initiative by a 2-1 margin. Political self-interest told Reagan, whose base of support nationally was among Republican conservatives, to stay out of the Briggs debate, in which California liberals and Democrats were leading the opposition. But Reagan loudly and clearly assaulted the campaign to ban gay teach-

ers by rebutting the argument that gay teachers could somehow "convert" impressionable youngsters: "Whatever else it is, homosexuality is not a contagious disease like the measles. Prevailing scientific opinion is that in individuals, sexuality is determined at a very early age." He warned against the initiative's provision for public hearings by school boards: "What ifan overwrought youngster, disappointed by bad grades, imagined it was the teacher's fault and struck out by accusing the teacher of advocating homosexuality? Innocent lives could be ruined." This, let us remind ourselves, was 1978. When respected California political journalist Bill Boyarsky, author of "Ronald Reagan: His Life and Rise to the Presidency," asked the Los Angeles Times' polling director, I.A. Lewis, what had turned California voters from supporting the Briggs Initiative to rejecting it on Election Day by a decisive 58-42 percent margin, Lewis answered, "I could see no other reason for it going that way except for Reagan." Maybe now Republican candidates will do more than reverently chant the man's name and take the time to read

and to heed how Ronald Reagan, 37 years ago, bravely dared to break ranks to lead on gay rights. Mark Shields isa syndicated columnist and a political analyst for the NerasHour on PBS.

NEW YORK (AP) — The furor over a retracted Rolling Stone article may deter some rape victims from coming forward, but the national campaign to curb sexual assaults on college campuses will keep gaining strength, according to advocates who have been following the high-profile case. The November 2014 article, purporting to describe a vicious gang rape at a University of Virginia fraternity house, was retracted by Rolling Stone on Sunday after the Columbia Journalism School issued a scathing critique of how the story was reported and edited. The critical report followed an announcement by police officials last month that investigators had found no evidence to back the claims of the alleged victim. Advocates forvictims ofsexualassault, in interviews Monday, had mixed views on the legacy of the Rolling Stone article.

Boston bomber US warming with wanted to terrorize Cuba is held up BOSTON — As he planted a backpack containing a bomb near a group of children, Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev made a coldblooded decision aimed at punishing America for its wars in Muslim countries, a federalprosecutor told the jury during closing arguments Monday at Tsarnaev's death penalty trial. "This was a cold, calculated terrorist act. This was intentional. It was bloodthirsty. It was to make a point," Aloke Chakravarty said. "It was to tell America that 'We will not be terrorized by you anymore. We will terrorize you."' Defense attorney J udy Clarke countered by arguing, as she did at the trial's outset, that Tsarnaev took part in the attack but did so under the malevolent influence of his now-dead older brother, Tamerlan.Clarke repeatedly referred to Dzhokhar Tsarnaev — then 19 — as a 'kid" and a"teenager." The jury is expected to begin deliberating this morning in the case against Tsarnaev, 21, almost two years after the twin bombings near the finish line of the Boston Marathon kil led three people and wounded more than 260.

Policefound the bodies at the home in Princess Anne afterbeing contacted by a concerned co-worker of the father, who had not been seen for days, Princess Anne police said in a news release. They identified the deceased only as an adult and seven young people ages 6 to the teens. They said the cause ofthe deaths was still under investigation. Bonnie and L loyd E dwards, encountered outside

the home by a reporter from The Associated Press, identified themselves as the mother and stepfather of Rodney Todd, 36, whom they identified as the adult who died. They said Todd had seven children, including five girls and two boys. The Edwardsessaid police told them the family died of carbon monoxide poisoning. He said Delmarva Power had cut off the electricity to the house because of an outstanding bill. "To keep his seven children warm, (Todd) bought a generator," Lloyd Edwards said. " It went out an d t h e carbon monoxide consumed them." Princess Anne Police Chief S cott Keller told the AP there was a generator in the kitchen that was out of gasoline.

The airstrikes Sunday and Monday targetedthe Gedo region of western Somalia, directly across the border from Kenya, said Col. DavidObonyo of the Kenyan military. The al-Shabab camps, which were used to store arms and for logistical support, were destroyed,butit was not possible to determine the number of casualties because of poor visibility, he said. The Somalia-based militant group claimed responsibility for Thursday's attack at Garissa University

College in n o r theastern Kenya in which militants killed 148 people, most of them students. Another resident of the village, Ali Hussein, said the airstrikes hit a grassland "where nomads often take their animals for grazing." "We are not aware of any military camps located there. They dropped bombs on the whole area," he added. Al-Shabab fighters often use shrubby areas to conceal fighters and vehicles. Airstrikes and other conventional military operations have hurt al-Shabab, but analysts say better intelligence is needed to thwart an extremist group that has proven effective in infiltrating civilian populations and carrying out attacks on so-called "soft" targets in urban areas.

Poblano peppers, pinto beans and salsa make for an unusual grilled cheese combination.

I have always been fascinated by food and art. Recently, I came across a painting called "Summer" by 16th century artist Giuseppe Arcimboldo. This portrait of a young man was completely made of produce! He had grapes for hair, a zucchini for his nose, a split open pea pod for his teeth, and, you guessed it — an "ear" of corn. He looked a lot like Old What's His Name (a "corny" guy who loves corn)." Last fall he bought about 20 ears of &esh corn as a"gift" for me. Fortunately, it &eezes well. We had the last two ears about a week ago, and they still tasted great. To freeze the corn, I simply placed the unpeeled ears in plastic bags and tied them with a twist tie. Fortunately, corn is available year round; either &esh, frozen or canned. And also in the form of cornmealwhich is gluten &ee! This tasty treat is inexpensive, easy to prepare and nutritious. Corn is a good source of iron and zinc, and a finesource ofpotassium. It is also very low in sodium (28 mg per cup). When substituting frozen or canned corn for fresh; 1 cup of kernels is equal to 2 medium ears of corn. The popularity of corn has remained fairly concentrated in the Americas, and in Italy and France, where it is primarily enjoyed in polenta. The rest of the world doesn't know what's it's missing!

WEATHER WATCHERS NEEDED The Union Democrat has a dedicated team of volunteer weather watchers who keep track of high-low temperatures and precipitation. They call the newspaper with fresh numbers early every morning for that day's weather page, on the back of the sports section. The only pay is an annual gathering - sometimes a picnic hosted by the newspaper, sometimes dinner at an area restaurant - where they are honored and thanked. Necessary equipment, which the volunteers must provide themselves, are a thermometer that records the high and low temperatures of the day and a rain gauge. They must also submit snow depths and melt snow, when they get it, to include its water content with their precipitation. Volunteers are needed right now in, Tuolumne, Pinecrest and San Andreas.

I consider that the point was more sex. But this information confused me. I mentioned it to my wife, who said,"Sorry." So, I asked another woman her thoughts on this subject, and she said men would get more sex, but she had a little smile on her face that told me different. Another woman's answer was "maybe, maybe not." So what's up with the conflicting statements? Should I not help out as much? —CONFUSED HUSBAND DEAR CONFUSED: Cute. No.

Evidence supports medical benefits of essential oils DEAR DR. ROACH: In the area where I live, essential oils recently have become popular. There are allsorts of claims for what they can do and aQlictions they can help. I have been doing some of my own research, but wanted your take on essential oils. MLM companiesespecially make some interesting claims and use recommendations. Is there any truth to their claims? Have any medical studies supported the claims? Since the Food and Drug Administration does not regulate them, how can someone know which companies are trustworthy and which products are pure and truly contain the oils the label claims they contain? — DA. ANSWER: I spent some time looking at the medical literature on essential oils and found a few areas in which there is some evidence of benefit. For example,a lavender oil preparation from Germany, when taken internally, showed benefit in people with generalized anxiety disorder. Many essential oils show antibacterial effectiveness in laboratory studies, but not at the same

TOdayin hiStOry Today is Tuesday, April 7, the 97th day of 2015. There are 268 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On April 7, 1945, during World War II, American planes intercepted and effectively destroyed a Japanese fleet, which included the battleship Yamato, that was headed to Okinawa on a suicide mission. On this date: In 1788, an expedition led by Gen. RufusPutnam established a settlement at present-day Marietta, Ohio. In 1862, Union forces led by Gen. Ulysses S.Grant defeated the Confederates at the Battle of Shiloh in Tennessee. In 1915, jazz singer-songwriter Billie Holiday, also known as "Lady Day," was born in Philadelphia. In 1927, the image and voice ofCommerce Secretary Herbert Hoover were transmitted live from Washington to New York in the first successful longdistance demonstration of television. In 1939, Italy invaded Albania, which was annexed less than a week later. In 1949, the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical "South Pacific" opened on Broadway. In 1953, the U.N. General Assembly ratified Dag Hammarskjold (dahg HAWM'-ahr-shoold) of Sweden as the new secretary-general, succeeding Trygve Lie (TRIHG'-vuh lee) of Norway. In 1955, movie actress Theda Bara died in Los Angeles at age 69. In 1966, the U.S. Navy recovered a hydrogen bomb that the U.S. Air Force had lost in the Mediterranean Sea off Spain following a B-52 crash.

There is only one way for South to eliminate a loser: discard it on the third round of diamonds. Also, because dummy is so short of entries, there isn't a moment to lose. Declarer must win the first trick (or East might shift to a trump) and lead a diamond. A defender may win, cash a spade trick, and play a trump, but South wins with dummy's 10 and leads another diamond. Then, when back in the dummy with the heart ace, he pitches his club two on the diamond queen.

Corn Enchiladas Es anol Servings: 8 Preparation time: 45 minutes Tortillas Espanol: (optional) 1/4 cup cornmeal 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup skim milk 1/4 cup water 1/3 cup liquid egg substitute 1 tablespoon olive oil Corn filling: 1 10-ounce package frozen corn kernels 4 ounces Neufchatel cheese (low fat cream cheese) 1/2 cup green onions, chopped and divided Salt and pepper, as desired 1 cup enchilada sauce (from can) 1/2 cup reduced-fat cheddar cheese, shredded 2 tablespoons black olives, sliced (5 to 6 olives) For "Tortillas Espanol": Combine cornmeal, flour, milk, water, egg substitute, vegetable oil and salt in a blender. Blend a few minutes to mix ingredients. Refrigerate for 1 hour or more. Spray an 8-inch nonstick pan with pan spray. Heat pan over medium heat. Lift pan off burner and pour a small amount of batter into pan and swirl to coat

bottom. Return pan to burner and cook until bottom side is lightly brown. Do not cook other side. Stack "tortillas" between waxed paper until ready to fill if you are not using them immediately. Any extras may be frozen. Now, the quick version using packaged corn tortillas: If you are using packaged corn tortillas, warm them up wrapped in waxed paper in the microwave for a few seconds on defrost. I place a small cup of boiling water in with them so they don't dry out. Fill them and, just before adding the sauce, spray them lightly with pan spray. This will prevent them from drying out while they are baking. For filling: Cook one 10-ounce package of frozen corn kernels until just heated through. Drain well. Mix with Neufchatel cheese (cubed to melt easier), add 1/4 cup of the green onions, a dash of ground cumin, salt and pepper. Fill tortillas and roll up. Place in a shallow baking dish. (If preparing for a potluck, cut them in half now, in the pan). Pour the enchilada sauce over the tortillas and top with the cheese, reserved green onions and olives. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave on 80 percent power until just heated through. Or cook uncovered in a 325 degree oven for 15 minutes. If bringing to a potluck, don't forget the spatula! Serving idea: Great with barbecue steak instead of potatoes. Notes: 8 corn tortillas may be substituted for the "Tortillas Espa-

BRIEFS Hall of FameGiants broadcaster Lon Simmons dies at 91

Rollins rallies new team,

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Lon Simmons, a Hall of Fame broadcaster whose career spanned five decades calling San Francisco Giants, Oakland Athletics and 49ers games, died Sunday. He was 91. The Giants announced that Simmons had died "peacefully," saying, "The Giants family and Bay Area sports community losta truegentleman." Simmons was one of the original voices of the Giants when they moved West in 1958, and he covered Hall of Famers Willie Mays and Willie McCovey, Juan Marichal,Gaylord Perry and Orlando Cepeda. Simmons b r o adcast Oakland's victory in the earthquake-interrupted 1989 Bay Bridge World Series, with that booming voice, announcing, 'The A's have won the World Series in a sweep!" The A's noted that Simmons "called some of the greatest moments in Oakland history, including the final three outs of the A's 1989 World Series championship." Over three stints with the Giants, Simmons consideredone ofhis greatest thrills getting to call Mays' 600th home run. His signature phrase on the longball became,"Tell it goodbye!"

LOS ANGELES (AP)New addition Jimmy Rollins hit a tiebreaking, three-run homer in the eighth inning, rallying the L o s A ngeles Dodgers to a 6-3 victory over the re-tooled San Diego Padres in the season opener Monday. Rollins took a curtain call for his drive off Shawn Kelley (0-1). Rollins and Howie Kendrick joined the team in the offseason to improve the Dodgers' infield defense, but their ofFensive prowess delivered the victory. Kendrick's RBI double with two outs in the seventh tied it at 3. Rollins went 2 for 4. Reigning NL MVP and Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw struck out nine, but the team with baseball's highest payroll of $270 million trailed twice before Kendrick and Rollins baled them out. Kershaw gave up three runs and six hits in six innings. Joel Peralta (1-0) got the victory and Chris Hatcher earned his first save. San Diego's Matt Kemp went 2 for 4 with three RBIs against his former team.

BALCO investigator spearheadsUFC anti-doping program LAS VEGAS (AP)Two months after promising to ramp up drug testing of its more than 500 fighters, UFC hired federal investigator Jeff Novitzky to spearhead the organization's anti-doping initiative. The UFC announced Monday that N ovitzky will begin serving as its vice presidentof health and performance later this month when he leaves his job asspecialagent forthe U.S. Food and Drug Administration. N ovitkzy w i l l o v e rsee UFC's investment in "stateof-the-artsports science studies, " as well as "further develop its out-ofcompetition (performanceenhancing drug) testing policy and enrich its education and prevention programs," UFC said. N ovitzky came t o n a -

Volunteers trap cewlish to return steelhead to creeks LOS ANGELES (AP)Volunteers are on a mission to rid creeks in the Santa Monica Mountains of an invasive crawfish, hoping they will enable endangered steelhead to return to t heir historic spawning grounds. A $600,000 grant from the California Department

of Fish and Wildlife is funding the three year efFort to trap and remove the 3-inch long non-native crawfish from the area's rivers and streams, the Los Angeles Times reported Sunday. Over the past year,volunteers from local schools led by biologists for the nonprofit Mountains Rest oration Trust

h av e r e -

moved roughly 44,000 of the crawfish and sent them

to a local wildlife center to feed possums and raccoons. Lee Katz, a biologist at Pepperdine U n i versity, says removing the crawfish allows native species including aquatic insects and steelhead to rebound. Over the last century, the crawfish have multiplied in the 109-square-mile Malibu Creek watershed. They were introduced to the area by anglers who used them as bait and thrive where there is year-round rtumiiig

The ofFense had an encouragingopener,too,despite losing power-hitting Pablo Sandovalduring theoffseason and right fielder Hunter Pence to a broken arm that will keep him out early this year. Sparked bythe top of the order — Nori Aoki, Joe Panik and Angel Pagan — San Francisco had 10 hits in four-plus innings against Josh Collmenter (0-1) to build a fourrun lead. Panik had three hits, Pagan had a pair of run-scoring singles and Aoki added two hits. Brandon Crawford chipped in with a two-run double in the fifth. The Giants nearly blew it, but Jeremy Aaeldt got a big out in the eighth inning and Santiago Casilla worked a perfect ninth for the save. "It's about winning games, that's it, and we were able to finda way to do it,"Bumgar-

They loaded the bases against Javier Lopez and Jean Machi in the eighth inning, and pinch-hitter Jake Lamb hit a three-run double ofF Sergio Romo to cut San Francisco's lead to 5-4.

Bumgarner had one of the bestpostseason runs in ma jor leaguehistory lastyear,earning two wins in the World Series and a five-inning save in Game 7 on two days' rest.

The lefthander wasn't exactly sharp in spring trainmg, going 0-3 with a 3.70 ERA, but said he felt good and would be ready forthe startofthe season. He was right. Bumgarner left a pitch up in the third inning to Mark Trumbo, who hit a run-scoring triple that nearly went out in the deepest part of the park. Other than that, Bumgarner had the Diamondbacks under control, aided by double plays in the fifih and sixth. "I don't know what else we can say about him," Bochy said. 'This guy's special;

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Duke tops Wisconsin to claim national championship INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — C all them &eshmen. Please, do not call them kids. Lel by Tyus Jones and Jahlil Okafor, Duke's talented group of youngsters played like salty old pros down the stretch, outscoring Wisconsin by 14 points over the final 13 minutes Monday night to grit out a 68-63victoryfortheprogram'sfi flh national title. Okafor, the likely first pick in the NBA draft if he decides to leave, got outplayed by Badgers center Frank Kaminsky most of the night but came through like a veteran when the pressure was highest. The 6-foot 11 &eshman made two straight buckets over Kaminsky, sandwiched between a pair of 3-pointers &om Jones, to help the Blue Devils (35-4) turn a one-time nine-point deficit into an eight-point lead with 1:22 left. A furious Wisconsin rally ensued, but it came up short. Then, it was Okafor on the bottom of a rowdy, raucous dog pile — a scene very reminiscent of the last time the Final Four was Indianapolis, back in 2010 when Duke edgel out Butler in another scintillating final. The Blue Dev-

ils also took one here in 1991 — the Grant Hill, Christian Laettner squad. 'They showed such grit tonight," said coach Mike Krzyzewski, whose five titles put him alone in second place on the all-time list behind John Wooden. "Our bench was spectacular, and like we said about two months ago, eight is enough. Eight is enough." Among the eight players who share all the playing time are Okafor, his buddy, Jones, and another &eshman, Justise Winslow. They all might playing at an NBA arena near you next season.

But Grayson Allen? The most unheralded of Krzyzewski's firstyear players, who averages four points a game, stepped up with Okafor on the bench for much of the second half in foul trouble. Allen, the slam-dunk champion at the high school McDonald's All-American contest last year, scored 16 points and kept Duke in it when Okafor was on the bench with his third and fourth fouls and Wisconsin (36-4) looked like it was about to pull away. "It was fun to watch my teammates do whatthey do,"Okafor said.They have my back the entire season, and

it was no different tonight." This was a savvy, calm, collected comeback against the team that wrote the book on that all season. Wisconsin kept its cool two nights earlierin an upset over undefeated

Kentucky and looked like it would close the deal when it turned a 31-all halfbme tie into a48-39lead after Kaminsky made a layup with 13:23 lefL Then, suddenly, Duke looked like veterans and Wisconsin looked like kids. Kaminsky had 21 points and 12 rebounds to Okafor's 10 and three, but ''Frank the Tank" struggled to get a good look down the stretch. On Okafor's first late bucket, Kamimky tried towrap an arm around him, butOkafor just powered his way through it for the bucket and the foul. He missed the &ee throw, but a different point had been made. In the seconds leading up to that basket, Winslow appeared to step on the baseline. But the whistle never blew and he delivered it to Okafor for the score. That, and the foul count, had the Wisconsin Twitterverse fuming about

some calls. The Badgers got whistled for only two fouls in the first half, but the count in the second half was Bad-

gers 13, Blue Devils 6. Duke shot 20 &ee throws to Wisconsin's 10. "It was a situation where you just have to be able to handle all the hands and the checking," Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan said.'There was more body contact in this game than any game we played all year, and I just feelsorry for my guys thatallofthe sudden a game was like that, and I think they're struggling with that a little bit." Even though Kaminsky schooled Okafor to draw both his third and fourth fouls early in the second half, Wisconsin couldn't pull away &om an aggressive Duke defense that allowed only 55 points a game in the five contests leading to the final. Wisconsin shot 41 percent — 7 points under its season average. "Shots just weren't falling, and they were getting to the line, and when the tide changes like that,it's kind ofhard to get back in the flow," said Badgers forward Sam Dekker said. "We tried to play through it but they made more plays than we did." Nigel Hayes had 13 points and Dekker, the key guy down the stretch against Kentucky, had a very quiet 12 for the Badgers, who were trying to bring their first title back to Madison

since 1941. Dekker used his shirt to dab awaytears duringpostgame interviews — a much different scene than the loose, fun-loving meha sessions the Badgers put on all tournament. For Duke, it was all smiles. The Blue Devils are taking another trophy home to the Cameron Crazies. "All these guys have become students of the game, and they share knowledge," Krzyzewski said. This was not a dominant, wire-towire effort the likes of which some of the Duke title teams have enjoyed in seasons past.

Kentucky and its quest for perfection stole all the headlines this season. So, playing in relative shadows down on Tobacco Roadwas this group, which actually might have more onw and-dones than John Calipari says goodbye to in the Bluegrass State this year. Calipari was in the building, by the way — honored for his induction into the Naismith Hall of Fame. He got booed heavily. In the end, it was all confetti and cheers. And it's not Calipari's team, but Krzyzewski's, that will end up in the history books. "It was heaven," ~ e w ski said of the stadium where he's now 4-0 in Final Fours."It was really divine."

Tiger Woods arrives at Augusta and the guessing game begins AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Tiger Woods arrived later than usual M onday for a Masters that is different from all the others he has played. No one was sure what to expect. Woods offered a quick glimpse that it could be just about anything. He hooked his tee shot so far leR that it nearly went into the ninth fairway. And then he hit a shot to about 6 feet and rolled in the putt for birdie.

"I felt like I had to get my game into a spot where I felt I could compete to win a golf tournament and it's finally there," Woods said after playing 11 holes. More relevant than any of his shots — including his chipping, which looked fine — was the atmosphere. The first official day of practice at Augusta National was filled with warmth and optimism for the first major of the year. Rory McIlroy, No.

1 in the world and going for a career Grand Slam, played 18 holes with British Amateur champion Bradley Neil. Steve Stricker is playing for the first time all year. Jason Day took four hours on the back nine alone, letting groups through so he could chip and putt, the key to winning a green jacket. And then Woods arrived. Fans ran to the side of the practice area when his cart pulled up, with one man holding a digital camera

high above his head for a picture. Fittingly, Woods headed straight for the chipping area and went through two bagsof balls before heading to the first tee with O'Meara. Woods is playing for the first time since Feb. 5. He was off nearly five months when he returned at the Masters in 2010 following the scandal in his personal life, but he was No. 1 in the world back then. His last competition was a victory in the

Now he is No. 111. In his last tournament this year, he walked off the course at Torrey Pines after 11 holes. Before that, he shot 82 and missed the cut in the Phoenix Open. In both events, he played 47 holes and hit chips that either didn't reach the green from 5 yards away or went some 25 yards over the green. That's when he stepped away, saying his game was not acceptable and

he would not return until it was.
