Bulldogs seize state semis
By JIM METCALFE jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com TOLEDO Elida blazed new trails in the 2011 football season, making it to its first-ever state semifinals in Division III this fall. The boys basketball team followed their gridiron counterparts in 2011-12, clinching its first-ever state semifinal Saturday night at John F. Savage Arena on the University of Toledo campus. One of the key cogs of the Bulldog gridders, 6-6 senior quarterback Reggie McAdams, played a major part of this run to the Division II hardwood state semifinals by scoring a gamehigh 25 points in the Bulldogs 63-53 defeat of Sandusky Perkins. To make it that far in football and now to make it to state in basketball two in one year is a great feeling, especially since basketball is my sport. Ever since I started playing it, especially playing AAU ball, you think about this and dream about it, McAdams said. Whats really great is that were getting a lot of contributions from everybody. I knew coming into the season that I was our primary scorer but this is not just me; its guys like Dakota and Aric (Thompson) and Cory (Royster) that have played big. His coach, Denny Delphos, Ohio Thompson, would concur. Were not a 1-man team; were a good basketball team. Obviously, Reggie does a lot but Cory and other guys have played big in key moments, he explained. Weve never been this far before and it hasnt sunk in. Even our fans werent sure what to do when we won! Elida (23-3) will battle St. Clairsville (23-2) 2 p.m. Thursday at the Jerome Schottenstein Center on the campus of Ohio State University. McAdams added a strong all-around game with eight boards, four blocks, three assists and three steals. He got plenty of help from 6-3 sophomore Dakota Mathias, who continued his improving play with 24 counters. Its indescribable right now. Weve had such fan support and that means so much, Mathias remarked. Ive become much more comfortable in what Im asked to do. The first period saw two ties and two lead changes. The Pirates (23-3) held their biggest lead of 11-7 midway through the canto before McAdams began to heat up. He scored six of his 10 points in leading the Bulldogs back to take a 16-15 lead on a Mathias bomb from the left wing with 20 ticks left, a lead that Elida held the rest of the night.

tation and not rehabilitation we try to get offenders to see that what they are doing doesnt work, he said. Most of these people dont have the skills to make it in society so they arent being rehabilitated. We are here to break that cycle. Fuerstenau explained those who enter the program are busy from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. with no TV or other meritbased activities during programming time. Offenders are also responsible for cleaning the facility, making their beds and doing their own laundry and cooking. Most stay between 4-6 months with a 6-month maximum. I had one guy tell me we have a lot of silly rules, Fuerstenau said. I told him, Yes, we do, but if you cant follow our silly rules, how are you going to follow societys big ones? Fuerstenau said his program has reduced the recidivism rate of many offenders and gives them the tools to make it in society. The best way to punish an offender is to make them a taxpayer, he added. Fuerstenau has an interesting resume, including teaching in Nome, Alaska, as well as being a dog team leader and bush pilot. He has also been varsity basketball coach and See BANQUET page 2

Wind project faces Report: Dropout factory high hurdles after court ruling
BRIEFS
WASHINGTON (AP) A new report says the number of Ohio high schools considered dropout factories jumped from 75 to 135 over the eight years ending 2010. The data is part of research being presented Monday at the Grad Nation summit in Washington organized by the childrens advocacy group Americas Promise Alliance. In Ohio, the number of students in dropout factories schools that fail to graduate more than 60 percent of students on time rose by about 12,500. The states graduation rate was up 2.1 percentage points to 79.6 from 2002 to 2009. The nationwide graduation rate was 75 percent, and dropout factories fell by more than 450, with 1,550 remaining. The report was written by researchers at Civic Enterprises, a public policy firm, and the Everyone Graduates Center at Johns Hopkins University.

Cincinnatis Checkmate Bridge draws all sorts

By CLIFF RADEL The Cincinnati Enquirer CINCINNATI (AP) On the Checkmate Bridge, they play the game of life with kings and queens, rooks and knights, bishops and pawns. Chess teaches you how to live, said Stephan White. Its the ultimate pastime. That said, his right hand swooped in to pluck a pawn from his opponents side of a well-used, roll-up chessboard. Moments before, White had unfurled his battered board atop an oak table on the glasswalled span straddling Ninth Street. The bridge connects the north and south buildings of downtowns main branch of the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County. On the librarys map, Whites match was taking place on the Reading Room Bridge. But, to him and the dozens of men and women from all walks of life flocking to the sun-splashed space every afternoon for a quick game or two his chess pieces were locked in cerebral combat on a space players have dubbed the Checkmate Bridge. In chess, as in life, you are on your own. Luck is out the window, said White, a 48-year-old soap factory worker from Price Hill. Before falling silent to ponder his next move, he added: In chess you learn to make a decision before you act. You learn that your actions have consequences. If you make a move without thinking, you are in trouble. His opponent, a man known only as Buck, was in trouble. Buck was down to his last piece. He fidgeted in his chair. He rubbed his palms on his brown, paint-splattered corduroy pants. One hand reached for his carved cane. The other reached for his last piece. Checkmate, White whispered. Buck nodded and shook Whites hand. Grabbing his cane, he bolted from the table. He was playing too fast, White quietly noted.

URBANA (AP) A wind project that would build at least 54 wind turbines in a southwest Ohio county faces hurdles despite a recent Ohio Supreme Court ruling in its favor. The court this month essentially validated regulators approval of the project in Champaign County after some residents contended that a regulatory board wrongly left details of the project to be decided by staff members. Now the $20 million Buckeye Wind project has to work through issues including taxes and roads before it can move forward, the Springfield News-Sun reported . The county and Everpower Renewables, the company in charge of Buckeye Wind, have not begun talks on remaining issues, but Everpower says some form of tax abatement is needed for the project to continue. County officials welcome the revenue that could be generated for the county, townships and school districts, but some are concerned about the effect on property values and the countys legal and financial responsibilities if

the project should fail. Others also say a road agreement is needed to protect roads from heavy equipment traffic during construction Buckeye Wind officials have said numerous conditions set by the Ohio Power Siting Board would protect the public, and that failure of the project is unlikely partly because of increasing demand for electricity. Buckeye Wind spokesman Jason Dagger said new coal or nuclear projects are unlikely and that wind and solar energy sources will be necessary. Some county officials believe the project will generate tax revenue and provide renewable energy, while others say it wont provide enough money to make up for potential damage to the landscape and property values. Qualifying renewable energy projects could be exempt from paying tangible personal property taxes under legislation passed in 2010. They would be responsible instead for a payment in lieu of taxes to local governments and schools, with local governments and the countys

general fund splitting any revenue generated. If we dont get that tax treatment, it would be hard for the project to compete with any project in surrounding states, Everpower spokesman Michael Speerschneider said. A resident opposing the project is concerned that turbines require federal tax breaks, state mandates and local tax incentives to operate. I think at the end of the day, its more an issue that its not sustainable, resident Julia Johnson said. Dagger said the earliest construction could begin is late this year. County officials have asked the county auditor, prosecutor and the County Commissioners Association of Ohio to research all of the issues surrounding the project. County Commissioner Bob Corbett said it is important for the county to take its time and make the right decision. This is our place, and we want to do as good a job as possible, Corbett said.

In chess you learn to make a decision before you act. You learn that your actions have consequences. If you make a move without thinking, you are in trouble.
Stephan White Buck had sat down quickly and made his moves quickly. He lost at the same pace. He remembered his last defeat instead of thinking about his next victory, White said. He placed the games 32 pieces in their starting positions on the board. Then, he sat back, folded his arms across his chest and waited for his next opponent. White did not have to wait long. Ralph Shank of College Hill slipped into the chair before it had a chance to cool. Look whos here, White said. My buddy, Ralph. Shank had some time to kill before helping a friend move some belongings. Before starting to play, he assembled a set of tunes on his iPad. White described Shank as an example of all the different folks you meet when you play chess on the bridge. Shank, 43, is a retired Army veteran. Over the years, he has seen the bridge attract chess players in three-piece suits as well as homeless library patrons wearing all of their clothes on their backs. Hes heard such betweengame remarks as: He came in early today. Hes working the late shift. and She wont be playing this week. Shes at a seminar. All ages and classes show up on the bridge to play, said Norman Holloway, a librarian who has seen pilots between flights land on the bridge for a game of chess.

PARMA (AP) An Ohio church that supported a Ukrainian-born man convicted of being a guard at a Nazi death camp says its not giving up hope that hell be cleared of the allegations after his death. His son said John Demjanjuk died Saturday. The 91-year-old former autoworker died a free man in a nursing home in Germany. He was convicted last year of being a guard at the Sobibor death camp but maintained that he was mistaken for someone else. Hed been released pending his appeal. On Sunday, his son distributed a statement from the northeast Ohio church Demjanjuk attended. St. Vladimir Ukrainian Orthodox Cathedral in Parma defended Demjanjuk and said it was praying for his family. The church says it believes evidence of his innocence eventually will come to light. Ohios name comes from an Iroquois Indian word meaning Lake Eries on fire again.

COLUMBUS (AP) A state education overhaul aimed at better preparing Ohio students for college will change the way children and schools are evaluated and the curriculum they use. Students should be getting a diploma worth owning, but the existing system shortchanges children by asking them to meet minimum standards that dont necessarily make them college-ready, state Superintendent Stan Heffner said. Gov. John Kasich and other state leaders want to

Ohio overhauls education with eye on college prep

change that through an overhaul thats under way and is expected to be finished in several years, and they recognize it could be a bumpy transition, The Columbus Dispatch reported Sunday. We live in a culture where every kid gets a trophy regardless of whether they kick it into the goal or not, Kasich said. And then the kid goes out and gets a job, and then he goes home and says, Mom, I thought I was an A, and the supervisor keeps yelling at me and says Im not any good. There (needs to be) a balance. Ohio already adopted tougher standards on what students should learn, embracing the use of more nonfiction materials and making it likely students will learn certain concepts in-depth in one year and build on those in later years. The state also is part of a group of states creating new computer-based exams to replace standardized testing that measures how much students have learned. Next up, Ohio is changing how it grades schools

prices go up, the price of tires go up, it costs more for an oil change, and then, I have to pay for fuel surcharges. One estimate put the total cost of speculation to the trucking industry at $29.1 billion. For most small business owners, high gas prices dont mean high profits. And higher fuel costs get passed along the production line, ultimately making food at restaurants and super markets more expensive at a time when working families are struggling to make ends meet. Thats why, last week, I asked U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder about the work of a Justice Department taskforce charged with fighting oil speculation. And its why we must fully enforce the bipartisan 2010 Wall Street reform law.

on their performance. Many districts are expected to get lower ratings under the evaluation system slated to start next school year, Heffner said. It will grade schools and districts using a calculation based on factors such as graduation rates, students scores on state tests and the performance of certain categories of students, including those with disabilities and those considered economically disadvantaged. Parents wont see as many As, Heffner said. This is a far more-rigorous system.

GOP voterspassion uneven for Romney, Santorum

BY ALAN FRAM The Associated Press WASHINGTON Mitt Romney may lead in delegates and Rick Santorum might have momentum, but neither of the two leading Republican presidential candidates is having an easy time exciting even his own voters. Out of a dozen states where voters in the GOP contest have been polled, most Romney voters have said they strongly favor him in just five of them. A majority of Santorum voters felt that committed to him only four times out of 11 states where he was on the ballot and voters were surveyed. Each man is struggling to consistently spark the intensity that could separate him from the pack. Consider that Arizona is the only state where Romney had a higher proportion of voters expressing strong feelings about him than his rivals did. And Santorum hasnt had that edge in any state yet, despite an animated campaign style and passion for hot-button social issues like contraception that have contrasted with Romneys stiffer, more analytic manner. On average, 50 percent of Romney voters and 49 percent of Santorums say they strongly favor their candidate, with the rest expressing reservations about their man or a greater dislike for his rivals, according to entrance and exit polls of voters in 12 states When it comes to winning fervent devotion from his own supporters, both men trail former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Texas Rep. Ron Paul. Those two GOP presidential campaigns are lagging but 58 percent of Gingrichs backers and 53 percent of Pauls, on average, say they strongly favor their candidate. Analysts say higher percentages of devoted supporters are common with candidates whose lesser backing leaves them with only the most committed followers. Republican operatives express concern about Romney and Santorum. They say the figures raise questions about how quickly the GOP will be able to end its drawn-out slugfest and begin generating voter enthusiasm for a nominee to challenge President Barack Obama in November. At this point in the game, you should be drawing the troops toward you. The intensity about you should be pretty

Obama to Congress: Kill oil industrys tax breaks

WASHINGTON Pump prices on his mind, President Barack Obama says Congress should kill tax breaks for the oil and gas industry and help develop alternative sources of energy. Obama said Saturday in his weekly radio and Internet address that he expected Congress to consider in the next few weeks ending $4 billion in tax subsidies, a move he has failed to persuade lawmakers to make during his term. He said the vote would put them on record on whether they stand up for oil companies or stand up for the American people. They can either place their bets on a fossil fuel from the last century or they can place their bets on Americas future, Obama said. Industry officials and many Republicans in Congress contend that cutting the tax breaks would lead to higher fuel prices, raising costs on oil companies and affecting their investments in exploration and production. The measure is considered a long shot, given that Obama couldnt end the subsidies when Democrats controlled Congress earlier in his term. Republican presidential candidates have accused Obama of delaying drilling for oil in the Gulf of Mexico and in a national wildlife refuge in Alaska and faulted him for not advancing the Keystone XL oil pipeline from Canada to Texas Gulf Coast refineries. They have also criticized policies pursued by the Environmental Protection Agency as inhibiting energy development. Obama said there is no quick fix to high gas prices, which climbed to $3.83 on Friday according to AAA, but he pushed back against critics who say he is opposed to more drilling.

4 GOP-appointed justices control health laws fate

BY MARK SHERMAN The Associated Press WASHINGTON Heres a thought that cant comfort President Barack Obama: The fate of his health care overhaul rests with four Republican-appointed Supreme Court justices. His most sweeping domestic achievement could be struck down if they stand together with Justice Clarence Thomas, another GOP appointee who is the likeliest vote against. But the good news for Obama is that he probably needs only one of the four to side with him to win approval of the laws crucial centerpiece, the requirement that almost everyone in this country has insurance or pays a penalty. Lawyers with opposing views of the issue uniformly agree that the four Democratic-appointed justices, including Obamas two picks, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor, will have no trouble concluding that Congress did not overstep its authority in adopting the insurance requirement that is aimed at sharply reducing the now 50 million people without insurance. On the other side, Thomas has made clear in several cases that he does not take an expansive view of Congress powers. Both the Obama administration and the health care laws challengers believe they can attract the other four Republicans to their side. The group includes Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito, the two appointees of President George W. Bush who have swung the court to the right in a number of areas; conservative stalwart Antonin Scalia; and the less doctrinaire Anthony Kennedy. There is no consensus in the legal and academic worlds which way the court will go or even how each of those four justices will vote. The court has set aside six hours over three days, beginning March 26, to hear arguments. But a legal challenge, once seen as improbable at best, now has everyones attention, partly because the justices find it weighty enough to devote six hours over three days to hearing the case. Thats the most time for any issue in more than 45 years. Arguments that once seemed outlandish dont seem quite so outlandish anymore, said University of Michigan law professor Nicholas Bagley, a health law expert who says the law

strong, said Mike McKenna, a Republican consultant not working for any of the contenders. Political professionals generally consider intensity of support a key ingredient to a winning campaign. Such enthusiasm can help pave the way for everything from yard signs to campaign contributions to voters who show up on Election Day. Motivation is the name of the game in trying to get people to the polls, said Josh Putnam, a political scientist at Davidson University. It makes campaigns work easier if they can bank some votes, so to speak. Though Romney and Santorum attract similar amounts of passion, there are different reasons why many of their voters are tepid, the polls show. For Romney, the chief explanation seems to be doubts about his empathy. Among Romneys staunchest supporters, 80 percent say the former Massachusetts governor and Bain Capital executive understands average Americans better than the other candidates, the combined surveys show. That figure falls to just 44 percent among those who support him more tenuously.

Dr. Thomas W. Reul, Lima, grandson of Fannie Reul of Delphos, is carrying on a family tradition by adopting medicine as a career. The Reuls are a pioneer Delphos family.

Richard Ferris will serve as master of ceremonies for the floor WASHINGTON In show. the wake of Slutgate, the operative argument seems to have devolved into a barnyard taunt: My pig isnt as bad as your pig. This pithy summation comes from Fox News anchor Greta Van Susteren, who has been leading the charge against vile language used to describe women in the public square. Among other things, Van Susteren deserves credit for single-handedly shaming the Radio and Television Correspondents Association into parting ways with its headliner for this years dinner, comedian Louis C.K. On her blog, Gretawire, she promised to boycott the dinner and invited others to join the protest. Her reasons should be clear with a quick scan of C.K.s shtick, which well get to shortly. But first a word about some of the other offenders and why we need to have this conversation. As many have observed lately, including Peggy Noonan, who last week wrote a powerful column about misogyny aloft in the land, Rush Limbaugh isnt the only culprit to use the word slut and prostitute to describe a woman with whom

The silence of the lions

should be upheld. The fight over the law has played out in starkly partisan terms. It passed Congress without a Republican vote. All the GOP presidential candidates have called for its repeal. Some supporters of the law worry about the high courts decision because a similar partisan split, with a few important exceptions, has emerged in the lower courts. I think as a constitutional matter, this should be an easy case, said Erwin Chemerinsky, a liberal scholar and dean of the law school at the University of California, Irvine. But every judge appointed by a Republican president, with two exceptions, has voted to strike the law down. And every judge appointed by a Democratic president, with one exception, has voted to uphold the law. Thus, the real issue is whether the Republicanappointed justices will overcome ideology and vote to uphold the law. Among lawyers who appear regularly before the Supreme Court, Carter Phillips of Sidley Austin LLP offered a fairly typical response in predicting the court is more likely to uphold the law than strike it down. But he was far from certain.

KATHLEEN PARKER

Point of View
he disagreed. MSNBCs Ed Schultz called radio host Laura Ingraham a slut and later apologized. Limbaugh, who reserved his comments for a 30-year-old law student, Sandra Fluke, also apologized, if begrudgingly once sponsors began pulling away. And, of course, everyone remembers what happened to Don Imus when he referred to a womens basketball team, which happened to be mostly African-American, as nappy-headed hos. There isnt sufficient space here to comb the history of slurs or how we got to this point from the hilarious Jane, you ignorant slut skit from the original Saturday Night Live, though a quick note of distinction bears mentioning: Jane Curtin was in on the joke. And, remember, she countered with: Dan (Aykroyd), you pompous ass. Like most women in the media, Ive grown accustomed to vile and vicious attacks. Its part of the marinade in which we swim now. Ive always figured, well, thats the game. Get tough.

Moderately confused

Hit delete. Deal. But my feelings, raw as they may be at times, are not what matters. What does matter is that our children are growing up in a world that believes its OK to denigrate women. They are witnesses to adults laughing at jokes about women being sluts, whores and worse. When the object of derision is Sarah Palin, jokes are even made about her Down syndrome child. Which brings us back to Louis C.K., whose jokes are so beyond anything we should find funny that its hard to comprehend how he was selected to amuse a gathering of journalists. Of Palin, he says: her f------ retardmaking c---and the baby that just came out of her f----- disgusting c---. If youre not disgusted, please leave now. Similarly, though not nearly as graphically, comedian Bill Maher has called Palin a dumb t---. Palin supporters and others concerned with decency have wondered where the outrage was then. Fair question. Many also wonder why President Obama, who found time to call Fluke out of concern for his own daughters, never raised his voice for Palin. Or why hes accepting a $1 million contribution from Maher to his super PAC. Like any candidate, Obama doesnt control his super PAC, but he

does control his voice, and it has been notably silent about certain women. Lets be clear: Demeaning women for fun and profit may be legal and permissible in a free society, but it shouldnt be acceptable. The argument that comedians fall into a different category is valid to a point, but journalists and public leaders dont have to be parties to their act. It isnt funny, even if some women apparently think so. Therein lies at least half the problem. As long as women are yukking it up alongside men while women are reduced to disposable sexual objects and their children regarded as sub-human, well, we have a ways to go. And though such remarks may not hurt successful women like Van Susteren, who is the longest-sitting news anchor on cable TV, they do hurt young women and little girls. And they also hurt young men and especially little boys, who adore their mothers and who, provided the right example, are capable of becoming the honorable and decent men everyone, including the president, hopes their daughters will marry. In the barnyard we call American culture, a pig is a pig is a pig.

(Continued from page 1)

The teams combined for 13-of-25 shooting 7-of13 by the Bulldogs in the period. Junior Brandon Smith (8 boards) scored 10 of his team-high 24 in the opener to counter McAdams. Elida continued its trend upward in the second stanza, slowly and steadily building its lead. Though they were only 5-of-13 shooting in the stanza (21-of-44 overall, 4-of16 beyond the arc (25%), for 47.7 percent), they started to get to the free-throw line, hitting 7-of-8 (17-of-26 for the night for 65.4%). With McAdams netting seven and Mathias six, they secured a 33-24 halftime edge as 6-3 junior Brandon Stinson put back a miss with 2.1 ticks on the board. The tempo slowed down in the third stanza with Elida mixing in a triangle-and-2 zone with their traditional man-to-man to great effect, as well as Sandusky using its man-to-man defense. The Orange and Black only scored 10 points in the period but the Pirates could only shave two points off its deficit by the time the horn sounded. The Bulldogs had their biggest lead to date of 35-24 on an inside basket by the 6-4 senior Royster (8 markers, 7 caroms) by the 6-minute mark before Perkins rallied to within six four times. When Royster hit the first-of-2 free throws at

Baylor women rout UCSB, will take on Florida next

The Associated Press BOWLING GREEN Brittney Griner scored 14 points in only 22 minutes and top-seeded Baylor rolled to an 81-40 win over 16th-seeded UC Santa Barbara in the Des Moines Regional on Sunday. Brooklyn Pope had 13 points for the Lady Bears (35-0) and Destiny Williams added 12. Baylor has not lost since the quarterfinals of last years NCAA tournament. Emilie Johnson scored 10 points for UCSB (17-16) but the Gauchos were as overmatched as expected. They swarmed Griner early and prevented her from dominating, but Baylor has plenty of other options. The Lady Bears move on to the second round, where theyll face ninth-seeded Florida on Tuesday night.
No. 9 FLORIDA 70, No. 8 OHIO STATE 65 Jennifer George had 16 points and six rebounds to lead Florida over Ohio State. The Gators (20-12) scored the games first nine points and held on in front of a crowd packed with fans of the in-state Buckeyes (25-7). Tayler Hill scored 23 points for Ohio State, including two late baskets to pull the Buckeyes within two. Florida patiently worked the ball inside to George, who went up strong with her left hand and scored with 45 seconds to play. Emilee Harmon missed at the other end for the Buckeyes. Ohio State star Samantha Prahalis went scoreless in the second half and finished with nine points. Lanita Bartley scored 15 for Florida. No. 4 GEORGIA TECH 76, No. 13 SACRED HEART 50 CHAPEL HILL, N.C. Freshman guard Sydney Wallace scored a season-high 28 points to lead Georgia Tech past Sacred Heart in the first round. Wallace finished 11 of 13 and hit six 3-pointers while Sasha Goodlett added 12 points and 11 rebounds. They helped Georgia Tech (25-8) set the schools single-season wins record and avoid being upset in the first round for the second time in three years. The Yellow Jackets used a huge run in the first half to take command and didnt allow the Pioneers to get closer than 13 after the break while claiming a spot in the second round opposite fifth-seeded Georgetown on Tuesday night. Gabrielle Washington had 13

:00.5, Elida led 43-36. Mathias stepped up big in the fourth period. With Perkins needing to foul to extend the game and try to rally, he hit 6-of-8 free throws out of Elidas 8-of-12 in the canto. It was enough as the closest Sandusky could get was 57-53 on a 3-ball by Nic Williams (15 counters 8 in the fourth 7 boards) with 56 ticks remaining. Elida finished it off by hitting 6-of-8 at the line in the final 54 ticks to secure that first-ever trip to the Final Four. Ive been involved in the program for a long time and I couldnt be happier. I am excited about the position Im in right now, Coach Thompson added. Im proud to see my son, Aric, going to state but to be able to coach him is even better. Our fans have really been a huge support for us all during the year and throughout our tournament run. You hope all year to be peaking at the right time right now and thats what were doing. We just have to keep playing at a high level. Elida finished with 29 caroms (8 offensive), a mere eight turnovers and 13 fouls. Sandusky Perkins ended up 20-of-54 from the floor, 5-of-17 long range (29.4%), for 37.0 percent and 8-of-10 singles (80%); 35 rebounds (13 offensive) as 6-7 senior Michael Ebert added seven; 12 errors; and 22 fouls.

Ohio, Cincy advance from Nashville to Sweet 16

By BETH RUCKER The Associated Press NASHVILLE, Tenn. Consider it a good weekend for teams hailing from Ohio. Four teams from the state are heading to the regional semifinals, with the 13thseeded Ohio Bobcats leading the way after getting 21 points from Walter Offutt in a 62-56 upset of South Florida on Sunday night. Ohio advanced to the regional semifinals for the first time since 1964, earning a matchup against top-seeded North Carolina in the Midwest Regional on Friday. Offutt, who hit two free throws with 6.8 seconds left to preserve a 65-60 upset of Michigan on Friday night, knows the encounter with the Tar Heels isnt going to be anything like the last time he faced them when he was a bench player for Ohio State. Its going to be different knowing that Im going into the game and I have to contribute for our team to possibly win the game, said Offutt, who transferred from Ohio State to Ohio with a brief stop at Wright State in between. Ohio is the seventh team seeded No. 13 or higher to advance to the regional semifinals and the first since No. 13 Bradley did it in 2006. In Nashvilles other thirdround game, sixth-seeded Cincinnati edged Florida State 62-59 to reach its first regional semifinal since 2011. The Bearcats will play No. 2 seed Ohio State in Boston on Thursday night. A fourth team from Ohio, Cincinnatis crosstown rival Xavier, beat Lehigh 70-58 on Sunday in Greensboro, N.C., to advance to the round of 16 for the fourth time in five years. Cincinnati guard Sean Kilpatrick had no idea his team was the fourth from the Buckeye State to advance. The Bobcats and the Bearcats had far closer calls than their counterparts in their third-round games. Although the Bulls managed to keep the Bobcats away from the rim, they couldnt stop them at the perimeter. Half of Ohios second-half buckets were 3s, and the Bobcats finished 9-of-18 from long range. South Floridas Jawanza Poland was called for a technical foul after hanging on the rim following a dunk. Nick Kellogg sank both free throws and a 3-pointer that tied the game at 42 with 9:23 to play. Ohio trailed by two when Offutt swished a 3-pointer, launching a 10-0 run for the Bobcats. A pair of free throws by D.J. Cooper made it 54-46 with 3:28 left. The Bobcats had a 59-53 lead when Toarlyn Fitzpatrick connected for South Floridas first 3-pointer of the half. But Cooper went 3-for-4 from the line while the Bulls missed three shots in the final 36 seconds. Success breeds success, said Ohio coach John Groce, who has led the Bobcats to their second NCAA tournament in four years. It builds more confidence. Cincinnati and Florida State traded the lead 19 times and were tied 11 and neither team led by more than three in the second half until the Bearcats scored seven straight points. Sean Kilpatrick hit a free throw tying it up at 50 points and then Dion Dixon stole the ball from Luke Loucks in front of the Cincinnati bench as Florida State tried to bring the ball up against the Bearcats press. Dixon took off and dunked to put Cincinnati ahead for good with 1:32 left. Cashmere Wright hit a jumper and Yancy Gates added two free throws for 56-50 lead with 35.3 seconds left. The Bearcats sealed it by hitting all eight free throws in the final 35.3 seconds. The Seminoles led 29-28 at halftime and were up by five in the first half. But the Bearcats hit 11-of-21 (52.4 percent) overall and 12-of13 at the free-throw line. Cincinnati had a big edge at the line (19-of-23) overall compared to Florida State (12-of-15).
WEST REGION No. 1 Michigan State 65, No. 9 St. Louis 61 COLUMBUS Draymond Green scored 16 points with 13 rebounds and set up Keith Applings crucial 3-pointer with 1:34 left, giving topseeded Michigan State a 65-61 win over Saint Louis on Sunday and sending the Spartans to the round of 16 in the NCAA tournament. Michigan State will play No. 4 seed Louisville in the West Regional semifinals Thursday in Phoenix. Appling added 19 points for the Spartans (29-7), who had to scrap their way past the ninth-seeded Billikens (26-8). Saint Louis controlled the tempo but never got a complete handle on Green, Michigan States superb senior. He added six assists and even helped mop up sweat off the floor in the final minute. Kwamain Mitchell scored 13 and Brian Conklin 11 for Saint Louis, back in the tournament for the first time since 2000. No. 7 Florida 84, No. 15 Norfolk State 50 OMAHA, Neb. Kenny Boynton scored 20 points and Florida routed Norfolk State to reach the regional semifinals of the NCAA tournament for the second straight year. Norfolk State shook up the West Regional when it upset No. 2 seed Missouri 86-84 on Friday and was trying to become the first 15 seed to reach the round of 16. Florida put a quick end to that idea, making five 3-pointers during a 25-0 run that made it 29-6 midway through the first half. The Gators (25-10) made it to the regional semifinals for the sixth time in 12 NCAA tournament appearances under coach Billy Donovan. They will play No. 3 seed Marquette on Thursday in Phoenix after their second straight runaway win. Florida rediscovered its shooting touch early against Norfolk State (2610), making five of its first eight 3-point attempts and 10-of-28 for the game. MIDWEST REGIONAL No. 1 North Carolina 87, No. 8 Creighton 73 GREENSBORO, N.C. John Henson proved hes healthy enough to help North Carolinas latest push for the Final Four. It remains to be seen if Kendall Marshall will be able to help the Tar Heels. Henson had 13 points, 10 rebounds and four blocks in his return from a wrist injury but Marshall broke a bone in his right wrist during the second half of North Carolinas third-round victory over Creighton. Coach Roy Williams confirmed the injury after the game and said he would talk to Marshall and his parents about his status Sunday night. The point guard still finished with 18 points and 11 assists.

points for Sacred Heart (27-6). No. 5 GEORGETOWN 61, No. 12 FRESNO STATE 56 CHAPEL HILL, N.C. Tia Magee scored 17 points and Georgetown held on to beat Fresno State. Adria Crawford and Sugar Rodgers added 11 points apiece for the Hoyas (23-8). They never trailed but blew most of a 17-point lead and made just four field goals during the final 15 minutes none in the final 6 minutes before improving to 4-0 in NCAA tournament openers. Ki-Ki Moore scored 22 points for the 12th-seeded Bulldogs (28-6). They shot 34 percent, finished with a seasonlow point total and remained winless in six NCAA tournament appearances. No. 3 DELAWARE 73, No. 14 UALR 42 LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Elena Delle Donne had 39 points and 11 rebounds to lift Delaware over Arkansas-Little Rock. The Blue Hens (31-1) earned their first victory in three NCAA tournament appearances and ran their winning streak to 21 in a row. Delle Donne, the nations leading scorer at 27.5 points per game, was making her first NCAA appearance after leading Delaware to the WNIT the past two seasons. The junior didnt disappoint, collecting 20 points and nine rebounds in the first half and helping the Blue Hens pull away in the second. Marian Kursh had 12 points for the Trojans (20-13), who were making their third straight NCAA tournament appearance. No. 11 KANSAS 57, No. 6 NEBRASKA 49 LITTLE ROCK, Ark.

The Jayhawks (20-12) led by as many as 10 in the first half and held on in the second for their first NCAA tournament win since 1999. The appearance was the schools first since 2000 and the first in eight seasons under coach Bonnie Henrickson. The win comes after Kansas narrowly made the tournament after losing six of its final eight games when leading scorer Carolyn Davis injured her knee. Goodrich picked up the slack, and Chelsea Gardner added 15 points and 16 rebounds. Kaitlyn Burke had 14 points to pace Nebraska (24-9), which shot 33 percent from the field.

Bluffton opens outdoor campaign at Muskingum University MUSKINGUM On a fine spring day worthy of St. Patrick himself, the Bluffton University mens and womens track and field team opened their outdoor campaign at Muskingum University on Saturday. The Beavers captured two wins, two runner-up performances and a number of personal best and qualifying efforts throughout the meet. Andy Chaffee took control of the mens 3,000-meter steeplechase from the gun and never looked back, taking the win in a PR 10:37.02 effort over the barriers. Later in the afternoon, Kayla Mullenhour (Delphos/Jefferson) set her own PR and new meet record in the 400-meter hurdles, winning the event in 69.02, a time which easily qualifies her for the All-Ohio and Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference championship meets later in the season. In the womens 3,000meter race, Alison Janzen split a pair of ONU runners to eclipse the stadium record, running a 38-second PR to finish

second in 11:06.15, less than three seconds from the school record. In the womens hammer, standout senior Megan Neal (Arlington) recorded the second-best throw of the meet with a 15411 distance in a field of 17 competitors. Her mark significantly surpassed both the meet and stadium records. The mens and womens 200 meters proved to be a speedy event for the Beavers as all four competitors clocked PRs at the distance. Jenna Strauss stopped the clock in 30.72 while Eric Dameron, Josh Mattoon and Jordan Wegner ran 25.00, 25.14 and 29.03, respectively. Mattoons 56.19 performance at 400 meters was a big PR over his indoor best while two debut efforts are of note. Dual-sport athlete Aaron Brown (mens basketball) impressed with a wellexecuted 2:10.44 in the 800meter run as did Mackenzie Mayer whose 6:01.88 race over 1,500 meters shattered coaches expectations and showed she has what it takes to significantly improve. Brandi Dominiques 2:28.96 effort in the 800 meters met the qualifying standard for the HCAC championship. The Beavers continued to impress in the field events as well. Rob Cook (1105), Jeff Parker (1013) and Julie Court (9411) all established PRs in the hammer throw with Parker (396.5) and Cook (349.75) joining Neal

(332) for PRs in the shot put. Parker made it 3-for-3 on the day with a 1162 PR in the discus. Travaun Reaves cleared 6 to finish the day in a 3-way tie for 3rd in the high jump, a height which qualifies him for both the All-Ohio and HCAC championships. The Beavers return to action next Saturday (11 a.m.) at Defiance College. -----Bluffton offense on display in mercy-rule victories over Goshen College By Evan Skilliter Sports information assistant BLUFFTON A dominating day on the diamond gave the Beavers wins number nine and 10 on the season as Bluffton Universitys softballers swept a double-header with the Goshen College Maple Leafs, one day after being swept at home by the Alma College Scots. The win moved the Beavers record to 10-8 on the season while the Maple Leafs dropped to 6-6 with the losses. The Beavers wasted no time in game one, scoring two runs in the first inning after Emily Manahan (Columbus/ Bishop Watterson) hit a single that scored Katie Clark (New Palestine, Ind.). Lindsay Robertson (Cincinnati/ Northwestern) scored when Brittany Baker (Springboro) was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. The 2-run second inning was followed by consecu-

North Carolina got off to a fast start and built a 15-point lead in the first half, then kept control and pushed the margin to 19 after the break on the way to its second straight double-digit victory in the Midwest Regional. The top-seeded Tar Heels (31-5) reached the round of 16 for a record 25th time. Doug McDermott scored 20 points for the Bluejays (29-6), who shot 41 percent and couldnt keep up with the hot-shooting Tar Heels. No. 2 Kansas 63, No. 10 Purdue 60 OMAHA, Neb. Elijah Johnson scored 18 points, including the goahead basket off a steal in the final minute, and Kansas rallied to beat Robbie Hummel and Purdue after trailing almost the entire way. Thomas Robinson had 11 points and 13 rebounds for the Jayhawks (296), who were down by 10 in the second half but still managed to advance to St. Louis. Theyll play No. 11 seed North Carolina State on Friday in the Midwest Regional semifinals. Purdue was clinging to a 60-59 lead and had the ball when Lewis Jackson, with the shot clock winding down, lost control at the top of the key. Johnson picked it up and went the other way for the go-ahead layup with 23.3 seconds left. Hummel missed a 3-pointer at the other end and Tyshawn Taylor scored a transition dunk for Kansas with 2.5 seconds left. After a timeout, Purdue sharpshooter Ryne Smith unloaded a long 3-point try that hit the backboard and the rim before falling away. Hummel finished with 26 points and nine rebounds to lead the Boilermakers (22-13). No. 11 North Carolina State 66, No. 3 Georgetown 63 COLUMBUS Lorenzo Brown hit three free throws in the final 10.6 seconds and North Carolina State conjured up its glorious tradition by upsetting Georgetown. The Wolfpack (24-12) had to survive a furious comeback by the Hoyas (24-9) and only were assured of the win when Jason Clarks hurried 3-point attempt from the right wing was off the mark at the buzzer. C.J. Williams, Scott Wood and C.J. Leslie each had 14 points and Brown added 12 for the Wolfpack, who earned their first trip to the round of 16 since 2005. Hollis Thompson led the Hoyas with 23 points. SOUTH REGIONAL No. 10 Xavier 70, No. 15 Lehigh 58 GREENSBORO, N.C. Senior center Kenny Frease scored a careerhigh 25 points to go with 12 rebounds and Xavier knocked off upset-minded Lehigh to reach the round of 16 for the fourth time in five years. Lehigh, which stunned No. 2 seed Duke on Friday, was looking to become the first 15 seed to make it to the regional semifinals. But the 7-foot Frease stood in the way. He dominated in the paint, hitting 11-of-13 shots, and Tu Holloway was his normal productive self with 21 points as Xavier (22-12) advanced to play No. 3 seed Baylor on Friday in the South Regional at Atlanta. The Musketeers held C.J. McCollum, the nations fifth-leading scorer, to 14 points on 5-of-22 shooting and overcame a 15-point first-half deficit. Mackey McKnight had 20 points for Lehigh (27-7), which tied a Patriot League record for wins in a season.

tive 4-run innings. Chelsie Osborne (Chillicothe/ Waverly) and Meagan Price (Toledo/Springfield) each scored on a Clark single up the middle in the second. Clark and Manahan came around following an error later in the inning, giving the Beavers a 6-0 lead after two frames. Goshen managed one run in the top of the third but the Beavers answered with four more tallies on three home runs in the bottom half. Shelby Erford (Paulding), Osborne and Clark all went deep as the Beavers opened a 10-1 lead. Bluffton added two more runs in fourth inning thanks to a Price bomb and the home team held the Maple Leafs scoreless in the top of the fifth, sealing the 12-1 mercy-rule victory. Kayla Owens (Cincinnati/ McAuley) earned the win in the circle. Owens pitched four innings, gave up one unearned run on two hits and struck out three while walking none. Her record improved to 2-2 on the season. Six Beavers racked up two hits each, including Clark who drove in three runs and scored three times. Price scored three runs while she and Osborne both drove in a pair of runs. Game two started much the same as game one. After giving up one run in the top of the second inning, the Beavers answered with two in the bottom half as pinch-runner Chelsea Weitz (Dayton/

The Associated Press From The Jerome Schottenstein Center, Value City Arena, Ohio State University, Columbus Division IV Red Devils down Berlin Hiland 52-37 in their first trip to the championship game The Arlington girls nerves showed early in the first quarter but the Red Devils settled down to outpace Berlin Hiland 52-37 Saturday. Arlington (27-1) shot an even 50 percent from the field, 17-of34, while defensively holding Hiland to shooting 26-percent from the field. The Red Devils led the game from tip-off to the final whistle, pushing the lead to 20, midway through the third quarter. Leading the way for the Red Devils were sophomore Dani Heaster, who scored 13 points and grabbed four rebounds. Senior Alivia Recker, senior Joy Reamsnyder and senior Amelia Recker scored 11, 11 and 10 respectively. Amelia Recker also collected 10 rebounds in the game, recording a doubledouble. Despite outrebounding Arlington 34-24, Hiland could not capitalize on second-chance opportunities offensively. The Hawks were led by senior McKenzie Miller who totaled nine points and five rebounds. The 2012 title is the first for Arlington, winning in its first state tournament appearance. ----Division III Anna comes back late to force OT but Nubians pull away

GIRLS STATE ROUNDUP

Top-ranked and defending state champion Anna completed a pair of 3-point plays in the final 44 seconds to force overtime but 10th-ranked Columbus Africentric posted a 13-9 scoring advantage in the extra period to win 70-66 Saturday. It marks the third title for Africentric (23-4), which previously won championships in Division IV in 2009 and 2007. Anna (27-1) outscored Africentric 18-7 in the second quarter to take a 31-25 halftime lead but the second half went back-and-forth, with a total of 13 lead changes and seven ties by the time the game ended. At the end of regulation, Anna juniors Natalie Billing and Erica Huber both converted old fashion 3-point plays to tie the game with 29 seconds left before Africentrics Kiyanna Blacks 5-foot runner rolled off the rim forcing the game into overtime. In overtime, Africentric used its speed and athleticism to get the ball in the paint to take a 68-60 lead but the Rockets fought back once again to cut the lead to two, 68-66, with 34 seconds in the game. After an Anna foul, Africentric missed the front end of a 1-and-1 but Ayrielle Stith came up with a big offensive rebound and hit two foul shots to give the Nubians the 4-point win. Black led the way for the Nubians with 27 points, 12 rebounds, six assists and two steals. Her 27-point total was just three shy of the Division III record for most points in a state championship game. Anna was led by Billing, who scored 23 points and grabbed 14 rebounds. Rocket senior Ashley Frohne, who fouled out of the game in the fourth quarter, finished with 21 points and eight rebounds. Huber added 13 points. ---Division II Blazers defeat West Holmes 53-41 for fourth straight title The OHSAA girls Division II state championship trophy belongs to Shaker Heights Hathaway Brown for the fourth year in a row following the Blazers 53-41 victory over Millersburg West Holmes Saturday. The 2012 championship state tournament was the sixth straight trip to Columbus for Hathaway Brown (22-5), finishing as state runner-up in 2007 and 2008 before making its current 4-year championship run. Claiming the trophy was far from easy as the Blazers climbed back from an early deficit early, to pull away in the latter stages of a well-contested championship game. Hathaway Brown junior Vanessa Smith led all scorers with 19 points, also grabbing nine rebounds. Teammate junior Nia Marshall was also key in the Blazers effort pulling down 10 rebounds while totaling nine points. Hathaway Brown shot 55-percent from the field, while West Holmes managed just a 26.8 field goal percentage. West Holmes was led by sophomores Emily Molnar with nine points and Laina Snyder, who totaled eight points and 10 rebounds. Lady Knights finish as state runner-up for the second time in school history, after returning to

the state tournament for the first time since 1995. West Holmes finishes the season with a 24-4 record. ---Division I Twinsburg wins back-toback state titles Twinsburg jumped out to a 15-3 first quarter lead and held off a determined Fairmont squad as the Tigers defeated the Firebirds 57-51 Saturday night. It was the second consecutive year Twinsburg defeated Fairmont for the Division I girls state basketball title. After a first quarter where they shot 14-percent from the field, the Firebirds climbed back into the game and only trailed 34-32 with five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. However, that is as close as the Firebirds would get as the Tigers pulled away late. Twinsburg (25-3) helped its cause by outrebounding Fairmont 36-23 and shooting 44.4-percent from the field, as opposed to the Firebirds 36 field goal percentage. Twinsburg becomes the 11th school in OHSAA history to record backto-back state titles. Leading the effort for the Tigers were junior Ashley Morrissettes 22 points and eight rebounds, senior Malina Howards 14 points and nine rebounds and senior LaShawna Gatewoods double-double of 10 points and 10 rebounds. The Firebirds were led by junior Chelsea Welchs 18 points and six rebounds and sophomore Kathryn Westbelds 15 points, 13 of which came in the first half.

The Beavers gave up two more runs in the top of the third but answered with a big 4-run bottom half. A double to left field by Robertson scored Osborne before a Haugh single up the middle plated both Robertson and Emily Kolezynski (Strongsville). Haugh came around to score on a single by Jenelle Theisen (Carleton Mich./St. Mary CC). The Beavers pushed across four tallies in the fourth to take a 10-4 lead, then finished the game in the bottom of the sixth with two more runs for their second run-rule of the day, 12-4. Freshman Chloe Shell (Covington) pitched the Beavers to victory. The freshman went four innings, giving up three runs (two earned) on seven hits while striking out three and walking just one. Megan Patton (Waynesfield/Perry) tossed two innings for the Beavers, giving up one earned run on three hits with a walk. Osborne paced the Bluffton offense with three hits, giving her five for the day. Haugh went 2-of-3 with three RBI and two runs scored. Clark, Theisen and Baker all drove in two runs each, while Osborne and Lindsay Robertson (Cincinnati/ Northwest) scored two runs apiece. The Beavers return to the diamond Tuesday at Trine University. They return home on Saturday against Olivet. -----11-run sixth propels Bluffton to 15-5 win over Albion College

By Martin Kluk Sports information assistant BLUFFTON, Ohio - The Bluffton Beavers baseball team split a doubleheader against the Albion College Britons on Saturday, falling short in the first game 6-4 but bouncing back with an offensive outburst to take the second 15-5. Bluffton moves to 5-8 while Albion stands at 3-7 on the year. In the first matchup, the Brits jumped ahead early, scoring three runs in the first two innings. Bluffton made it 3-1 after three with its first run of the day when Tyler Wright (Troy) tripled, sending home Doug Paullin (Jeromesville/Hillsdale) who had opened with a bunt single to start the inning. With two down in the bottom half of the fourth, Tim Webb (Delaware/ Worthington Christian) hit a two-bagger that scored Miles Richardson (Granville/ Newark Catholic) from first, trimming the deficit to 3-2. However, an error in the top of the fifth led to two unearned runs for the Brits and put them back up by three at 5-2. The Beavers fought hard and plated a run in the bottom of the sixth on a single by Paullin that scored Richardson before another response by the Britons in the top of the seventh made it 6-3. Bluffton tried to rally as Nick Broyles (Toledo/ Whitmer) lined a double which plated Wright and pulled the Beavers within two with one out, but Tyler Stephenson (Springfield/Northwestern) and Richardson grounded out to end the first game with a final score of 6-4. Errors were the bane for the Beavers in the game as the

unearned runs were too much too overcome. Richardson was solid, going five innings and surrendering eight hits, three earned runs, and a pair of walks with two strikeouts. Freshman Brad Schlabach (Fredricksburg/Hiland) threw two innings of relief, giving up one run. Wright, Stephenson, and Paullin all chipped in with two base knocks while Richardson added two RBI. For the second matchup between the teams, the Beavers got on the board first with another two-out run when Broyles singled home Stephenson from second base for an early 1-0 edge. As both teams had done all day, Albion notched a run in the top of the second to tie things back up only to have Bluffton answer in the bottom half with a two-out double by Webb, scoring junior Anthony Cianci (Ravenna/ Southeast) from first, making it 2-1 through two. After a scoreless third frame, the Brits chalked up four more runs, three unearned, in the fourth and fifth as Kelly Barnes (Toledo/ Toledo Christian) was pitching well but the defense was not picking him up. However,

that did not stop the offense. The Beaver bats plated two runs in the bottom of the fifth and a whopping 11 runs in the sixth to take a 15-5 lead and that ended being the final score. For the 11 run outburst in the sixth, the inning was started by back-to-back solo shots from Cianci and Kyle Niermann (Napolean). To go along with the home runs, Wright had monster fifth and sixth innings with three hits, two doubles and a single, three RBI and two runs scored. Webb also added a single, double and 3 RBI in the big sixth frame. Barnes earned his first victory of the season. He went seven strong innings, giving up eight hits, one earned run, with a walk and five Ks. For the Beaver lineup that posted 15 runs on 18 hits, Wright and Webb each rapped four hits with three RBI. Cianci also notched four hits and just missed the cycle by a triple. Niermann added in three safeties of his own and three RBI. Bluffton returns to action on Tuesday when the Beavers host the Polar Bears of Ohio Northern at 4:15 PM.

Brad Keselowski dominates to win at Bristol

By JENNA FRYER The Associated Press BRISTOL, Tenn. Brad Keselowski used Bristol Motor Speedway last fall to cement his spot in NASCARs championship race. Back at the track Sunday, Keselowski again made his way to Victory Lane. And he again began to think about a Sprint Cup title. Keselowski led a career-best and race-high 232 laps, then held off Daytona 500 winner Matt Kenseth on a late restart to cruise to his first victory of the season. What can I say? I love Bristol and Bristol loves me, said Keselowski, who immediately began taking pictures in Victory Lane to send to Twitter. The goal at Penske Racing is

to win a Sprint Cup championship and one win certainly doesnt achieve that, but its a great step. The Chase for the Sprint Cup championship has a wildcard provisional for the winningest driver not otherwise eligible. Keselowskis win at Bristol last August was his third of the season and gave him the provisional that allowed him to race for the title. Now, just a month into the season, hes focused on collecting victories. Keselowski narrowly escaped an early 7-car accident, worked his way toward the front, then settled in for a tight battle with Kenseth over the final third of the race. Kenseth beat Keselowski on one of their restarts fans complained instantly on Twitter

Megan Van Tatenhove scored 18 points, Armelia Horton had 17 and St. Bonaventure rallied to beat Florida Gulf Coast in overtime, snapping the Eagles 21-game winning streak. Doris Ortega and Chelsea Bowker added 10 points each for the Bonnies (30-3), who overcame a 53-42 deficit in the final 6 minutes. Courtney Chihil sent the game into overtime with the Eagles only field goal in the final 6:29, a layup to tie it at 58. Sarah Hansen led FGCU (29-3) with 15 points and 11 rebounds. The Eagles shot just 35.7 percent. FRESNO REGIONAL No. 3 ST. JOHNS 69, No. 14 CREIGHTON 67 NORMAN, Okla. Nadirah McKenith scored on a coast-to-coast layup with 0.1 seconds left, lifting St. Johns to a dramatic victory over Creighton. After Carli Tritz hit two free throws to tie it with 5.4 seconds left, McKenith took an inbounds pass and zoomed up the left sideline and into the lane before lofting a high-arcing shot that splashed in for the game-winner. McKenith finished with 21 points and DaShena Stevens scored 12 for the Red Storm (23-9), who narrowly avoided becoming the first No. 3 seed ever to lose in the tournaments opening round. No. 6 OKLAHOMA 88, No. 11 MICHIGAN 67 NORMAN, Okla.

that Kenseth had jumped the start and Keselowski had to run him back down to reclaim the lead. But a late caution when Tony Stewart hit the wall put Keselowskis win in jeopardy. Ive got no clue what to do here, he radioed crew chief Paul Wolfe, who decided to leave Keselowski on the track and not bring him in to the pits under caution. Then Keselowski had to decide which lane to choose for the final restart and his decision to take the outside may have sealed the win. Kenseth settled for second in his Roush Fenway Racing Ford. He should have started on the bottom, for me; unfortunately he didnt, said Kenseth, who also denied jumping the

earlier restart. The three Toyotas from Michael Waltrip Racing capped an impressive day by rounding out the top five a feat that marked a strong return to racing for Brian Vickers. Martin Truex Jr. led the MWR contingent with a thirdplace finish and was followed by Bowyer and Vickers, who ran his first race of the season. Out of work since Red Bull Racing closed at the end of last season, Vickers was tabbed last week to run six of the races that MWR driver Mark Martin sits out this season. He had a strong debut race, leading a career-high 125 laps. In 14 previous races at Bristol, Vickers had led only one lap, never finished in the top 10 and ended on the lead lap only four times.

21 Jump Street leaps to No. 1 with $35M debut

By DAVID GERMAIN The Associated Press LOS ANGELES Audiences headed back to school for the TV update 21 Jump Street, which opened as the No. 1 weekend movie with $35 million. Sonys action comedy starring Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum as cops going undercover as high school students took down the animated hit Dr. Seuss the Lorax, which had been the top flick the previous two weekends. Studio estimates Sunday put Universals The Lorax in second-place with $22.8 million, raising its domestic total to $158.4 million. At No. 3, Disneys costly sci-fi dud John Carter dropped sharply in its second weekend. The Edgar Rice Burroughs adaptation took in $13.5 million, down 55 percent from its anemic opening weekend and lifting its domestic total to a measly $53.2 million. John Carter reportedly cost $250 million to make. While tanking in the United States, John Carter has done decent business overseas. It took in $40.7 million this weekend to push its international haul to $126.1 million and its worldwide total to $179.3 million. In narrow release, Will Ferrells Spanish-language B-movie spoof Casa de mi Padre opened solidly at No. 9 with $2.2 million. The Lionsgate release played in just 382 theaters, compared to 3,121 for 21 Jump Street. Based on the 1980s TV show that made Johnny Depp a star, 21 Jump Street casts Hill and Tatum as rookie cops posing as teens to root out crooks peddling a psychedelic new drug at a Los Angeles school. Rather than doing a straight update of the TV show, Sony turned 21 Jump Street on its head for the big-screen, retooling it as a comedy that helped pack in the under-25 crowd, which made up half of the audience. I just think you had to make it relevant, and action comedy was the way to go. And they did make it very relevant to a young audience, said Rory Bruer, head of distribution for Sony. The guys, Jonah and Channing, were just killer together. They had incredible chemistry and certainly were the attraction for younger crowds. Hollywoods box-office hot streak finally cooled off a bit, with overall business down for the first weekend this year. Domestic revenues totaled $108 million, off 6 percent from the same weekend last year, according to box-office tracker Hollywood.com. Thats likely to be just a hiccup for Hollywood, though, with business expected to soar again next weekend as the adaptation of the bestseller The Hunger Games hits theaters. Hollywood.com analyst Paul Dergarabedian said The Hunger Games could have an opening weekend well above $100 million and might surpass the $116.1 million debut of 2010s Alice in Wonderland, which holds the record for best domestic premiere in March. Dergarabedian attended The Hunger Games premiere and said that fans were lined up, camped out for days. I hadnt seen that since the Twilight movie. But unlike Twilight, which was dominated by the female audience, theres huge interest from males in this movie. With a huge summer season ahead that includes the superhero tales The Avengers, The Amazing Spider-Man and The Dark

Comedian Gallagher out of coma, telling jokes

Apple firestorm leads artist to change his show

BY MARK KENNEDY The Associated Press NEW YORK Mike Daisey, the off-Broadway performer who admitted that he made up parts of his oneman show about Apple products being made in Chinese sweatshops, has cut questionable sections from the monologue and added a prologue explaining the controversy. Oskar Eustis, artistic director of The Public Theater, where the monologue is being performed, said Saturday that Daisey has eliminated anything he doesnt feel he can stand behind from the show and added a section at the beginning in which he addresses the questions raised by critics. Eustis called the prologue the best possible frame we could give the audience for the controversy and said Daisey agreed to make the changes himself, which are his and his alone. Mike is a great storyteller, not a journalist. I wish he had been clearer about that distinction in the making of this piece, Eustis said after seeing Saturdays matinee performance. If we had understood the rules Mike was using to make the show, we would have framed it differently from the outset. Daisey portrayed his work as fact during a media blitz to promote his critically acclaimed show, and he misled dozens of news and entertainment outlets, including the popular public radio show This American Life, The Associated Press, The New York Times, MSNBC and HBOs Real Time with Bill Maher. But in an interview with This American Life host Ira Glass broadcast Friday, Daisey acknowledged that some of the claims in his show, The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs, werent true. The show retracted its Jan. 6 episode because Glass said he couldnt vouch for the truth of its claims. Daisey, who admitted Friday on his website that the work is a mix of fact

Jerry Lewis celebrates 86th birthday in NYC

NEW YORK (AP) Jerry Lewis did not turn 86 quietly. The comedian and filmmaker flew in to New York from Las Vegas for an hourslong celebration Friday night. It started with an onstage interview at Manhattans 92nd Street Y, then continued in midtown at the Friars Club, where hundreds gathered to sing happy birthday to Lewis, who added his trademark goofy voice. Wearing a dark blazer and bright red shirt,

Lewis sat at a corner table in the clubs Frank Sinatra room, with Richard Belzer and Robert Klein among those at his table. His meal included a slice of birthday cake, a three-tiered production decorated with movie stills, a microphone and miniatures of the performer. Lewis is known for such movies as The Nutty Professor, and for hosting the Muscular Dystrophy Associations telethon.

LEWISVILLE, Texas (AP) The comedian Gallagher is telling jokes after being taken out of a medically induced coma that doctors put him in following his heart attack last week in Texas. Doctors slowly woke up Gallagher on Sunday morning. His promotional manager, Christine Scherrer, says Gallagher immediately recognized his family and started talking to them. She says hes breathing on his own, moving and joking around. The comedian, whose full name is Leo Anthony Gallagher, is known for smashing watermelons with a sledgehammer.

Gallagher had a minor heart attack last March after collapsing while performing in Minnesota.

and fiction, did not respond to questions sent to his personal email account, and his publicist did not respond to a request for comment Saturday. The controversy is unlikely to lessen the media scrutiny of the Chinese factories that make Apple products, since news outlets including the Times have reported about the dangerous working conditions in them, including explosions inside iPad plants where four people were killed and 77 were injured. But some of Daiseys older monologues might get a second look. If he had only chosen to actually utilize what theatre allows you to do which is to transform fact into something that retains an emotional truth, said Howard Sherman, a former executive director of the American Theatre Wing and an arts administrator and producer. He didnt see Daiseys show but said he thought it might call into question people who do this in the future.

Gunman kills 4 outside Jewish school in France

By JOHANNA DECORSE The Associated Press TOULOUSE, France A motorcycle gunman opened fire Monday in front of a Jewish school in the French city of Toulouse, killing a rabbi, his two small sons and one other child, the prosecutors office said. It was at least the third deadly motorcycle shooting in France in a week, shocking the country and prompting strong emotions and high-level discussions in Israel. French prosecutors were studying possible terrorist links, but the motive for Mondays attack was unclear. Concerns about a serial killer emerged, as investigators examined whether Mondays shooting was linked to two deadly shooting attacks in the Toulouse region last week that killed three French paratroopers and left another seriously injured. French media reported those paratroopers were of Arab origin. President Nicolas Sarkozy rushed to the school, ordering increased security at Jewish and Muslim buildings around Monday, behind a high He shot at every- white wall with few external markings, was cordoned thing he had in off by police, who then front of him, chil- escorted other children out as forensics police combed dren and adults, the scene.

The drama occurred a bit before 8 a.m. A man arrived Toulouse, while his prime in front of the school on a minister ordered officials to motorcycle or scooter, Valet secure all school and reli- said, adding that the man got off his scooter outside the gious buildings in France. A 30-year-old man and school and opened fire. The prosecutor said the his 3-year-old and 6-year-old sons were killed in Mondays suspect probably used two attack, just before classes weapons, including one of a started at the Ozar Hatorah large caliber. On March 10, a gunman on school, a junior high and high school in a quiet residential a motorbike shot and killed a neighborhood, Toulouse paratrooper in Toulouse.

Valet said another child, bank machine in Montauban, between 8 and 10 years old, about 50 kilometers (30 was also killed, and a 17-year- miles) from Toulouse, killing two and critically wounding old was seriously injured. He shot at everything he the other. The Paris prosecutors had in front of him, children and adults, he said.

and killed. I said Bonjour to him like normal, said the 29-year-old, asking to be identified only by his first name Baroukh. Then he went out into the school entrance. I heard the shots and I turned around and saw him on the ground. He looked dead. But I didnt have much time to see who did it because I panicked and started running away. Both the prosecutor and Brandet said there were similarities with the attack four days ago in Montauban and in Toulouse eight days ago. It is too early to establish a sure link between Mondays shooting and those of the paratroopers last week, the prosecutor said. But there are elements that justify asking very serious questions. Forensic analysis showed the same weapon was used in the shootings in Montauban and Toulouse. Sarkozy visited the school accompanied by Richard Prasquier, the president of CRIF, the umbrella group representing Jewish organizations. Its a day of national tragedy, Sarkozy said after arriving. The barbary, the savagery, the cruelty cannot win. Hate cannot win. The nation is much stronger. In Jerusalem, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said whether it was a terror attack or a hate crime, the loss of life is unacceptable. Einat Wilf, an Israeli legislator from the Independence Party, said legislators were being briefed on the shooting. Special prayers were being offered Monday at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris.

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
TUESDAY, MARCH 20, 2012 Several important objectives of yours are likely to be fulfilled in the year ahead, in the same areas where you may have previously met with failure. The timing will be different, making people and their goals more in line with your plans. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Itll be your optimistic, hopeful manner that will smooth over the road you have to travel. In doing so, it will also make things better for those who journey at your side. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Dont be reluctant to think big and act boldly if your intuition tells you to move on something. If you are afraid to take a well-calculated chance, nothing will ever change. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -People who have clout and influence are more likely to take a chance on you than would an average person. However, the request you ask of the powerful must make sense. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The chances of achieving an important objective look pretty good if you set your mind to it. Once more, you wont hesitate to include others in what youve accomplished. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Maintain an optimistic outlook and your expectations and dreams could easily become realities. Focus on your targets and keep them in your sights until they become a fait accompli. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Up until now, it may have looked as if youd gone unappreciated, overlooked and ignored for something on which you worked hard and long. Not so -- your rewards are at hand. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Just when you thought the world was against you, youll discover that a loyal ally has been working on your behalf for some time. You could never have gotten far without his or her help. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If another picks you to be his or her designated agent, do what you can for this person by making the best deal possible. Even if it was supposed to be just a favor, youre apt to receive a reward. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -Things arent likely to work out the way you envision them, but dont get upset -- they could end up even better. It just proves that its wise to never prematurely judge people or events. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Tough tasks that challenge your imagination could prove to be both fun and profitable. Unraveling the knotty problems that leave your associates stumped will give you a thrill. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Some people you meet could end up playing important roles in your affairs down the line. Be sure to remember their names, as well as get their contact information. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Youre apt to be exceptionally fortunate in a matter where something of material value is at stake. Wait to cash in until the most propitious moment. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21, 2012 Poor beginnings dont always have to become poor endings. In fact, youll have excellent chances to strengthen your financial and/ or material position by building a stronger foundation out of what you have. Take things a step at a time. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Dont be surprised if more than one person confides in you without you or them knowing why. Theyll simply feel impelled to tell you things that they wouldnt tell anybody else. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- It may not be smart to push for certain things, such as matters that affect your material affairs, if you sense the timing is bad. Listen to what your instincts are telling you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Instead of going with the flow as you normally might do, you are likely to be determined to focus on one specific goal. Itll be for a worthy purpose. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Pay attention and you could learn something important by observing how another conducts him or herself in a development that is similar to one you will soon face. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Being fortunate enough to be in the right place at the right time will make you privy to some advance information concerning something profitable that is about to go down. Use it with discretion. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Someone you respect who has counseled you correctly in the past is the same person you should go to again if youre having a problem making another critical decision. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Any idea you get that you think might help your work or career is best kept to yourself, at least until you are absolutely certain you would be able to successfully pull if off. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Try to distinguish between being protective and being possessive regarding a loved one. If the leash is held too tightly, it could become a choke chain. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- An important development can be finalized to your satisfaction, provided you are tenacious and persistent. Dont settle for secondbest. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If there is something important that you need to do, get it out of the way as early in the day as possible. If you wait until youre pushed into it, you may do a rotten job. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -Take some time to study and review your financial position. Something that would save or make you more money could come out of a close, meticulous study. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Any favors you do for others arent likely to be repaid immediately. However, when they are, there is a chance youll get more in return than you gave.
