He is accused of the kind ofcrime that makes people shiver,the killing of families in their ownhomes under cover of night, thebutchery of defenseless chil-dren. Under normal circum-stances, Americans would dis-miss such an act as worthy ofonly one response: swift andmerciless punishment.
Not so in the case of RobertBales at least, not for someAmericans. See Page 2.

PHOTO COURTESY OF U.S. TROTTING ASSOCIATIONTroy native Tony Morgan is one of only four drivers in the U.S. Trotting Association to win 14,000 races.
From humble beginnings
BY DAVID FONGExecutive Editor
Tony Morgan still remembers hisfirst official harness race — impres-sive, considering he’s hadmore than 73,000 of themin the intervening fourdecades.“My first race was (at
the Miami CountyFairgrounds),” saidMorgan, a Troy native. “Iwas only 13 at the timeand I wasn’t old enough toget a matinee license atthe time. But my grandfa-ther was able to pull somestrings and got them to run an ama-teur race so I would be eligible.“I had been training and warm-
ing up horses for years, since I was9, but this was my first race — it
was big stuff for me. I was racingkind of a lame mare, but I stillended up finishing second or third.When I turned 14, I was able to geta matinee license and started racingevery Sunday.”
From such humblebeginnings was born oneof the greatest careers inharness racing history.He’s since been in morethan 73,000 races andrecently became just thefourth driver in U.S.Trotting Association his-tory to record his14,000th win. He is aworld champion who wasnamed Harness Tracks of
America’s Driver of the Year in1996, 1997, 2002 and 2006.Morgan picked up win No. 14,000
last month in Ohio in front of familyand friends, winning at Dover
Downs with pacing filly Timmylynnin the 15th race.“Other people are a lot more con-
scious of (the milestones) than I am,but it’s nice when you hit them,”Morgan said. “And it’s always nice tobe recognized by your peers. Whenpeople you’re around all the timeand have raced your whole life rec-ognize you as doing something good,it means a lot.”Morgan comes by his racing tal-
ent naturally. He’s a sixth-genera-tion harness racer. His father, EddieMorgan Jr. — who would introducehis young son to friends as “harnessracing’s next world champion driver”

Romney wins Puerto RicoSAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP)
— Mitt Romney scored an over-whelming win Sunday in PuertoRico’s Republican presidential pri-mary, trouncing chief rival RickSantorum on the Caribbeanisland even as the two rivalslooked ahead to more competitivecontests this week in Illinois andLouisiana.The victory in the U.S. territory
was so convincing that Romney,
the GOP front-runner, won all20 delegates tothe national con-vention at stakebecause he gotmore than 50 per-cent of the vote.That padded hiscomfortable lead
over Santorum in the race toamass 1,144 delegates to clinch
the nomination.Nevertheless, the GOP nomina-
tion fight is unlikely to end any-time soon, with Santorum refusingto step aside even though Romneyis pulling further ahead in the del-egate hunt.As the day began, Santorum
claimed he was in contest for thelong haul because Romney is aweak front-runner.“This is a primary process
where somebody had a hugeadvantage, huge money advan-tage, huge advantage of establish-ment support and he hasn’t beenable to close the deal and evencome close to closing the deal,”Santorum said. “That tells youthat there’s a real flaw there.”Yet, Santorum sidestepped
when asked if he would fightRomney on the convention floor ifhe failed before August to stop theformer Massachusetts governor

Yes, your car talks to you, andit’s pretty important that you lis-ten to it! Every machine emitssounds, which can be interpretedas a sort of language. You canlearn a lot about your car’s well-being by listening to it carefully.
Today’s cars and trucks havemuch quieter engines than thoseof a few years ago. One conse-quence of this is that motoristsare now compelled to dependmore on dashboard displays forsigns of problems. Unfortunately,many drivers tend to ignore theselights and dials. Because modernvehicles are tougher and betterbuilt than ever, the car might con-tinue to work for a while, even ifsomething is wrong or if a part isworn out. Ignoring these warningsigns, though, might cause an ac-cident, putting your life or some-one else’s in jeopardy.
So, when starting up anddriving your car or truck, paygood attention to the soundscoming from the engine roomand from the whole car itself.
Abnormal sounds could be anindication of trouble in your en-gine, transmission, brakes,steering, or exhaust system. Youmight even hear some parts ofthe body telling you somethingis going wrong.
If your knowledge of allthings mechanical is limited, thenext time you start your car, con-centrate on what it sounds like asit runs normally, in good condi-tion. Then, if you later hearsomething abnormal, try yourbest to describe the sound andwhere it is coming from. Getyour car to your local dealershipor private garage as soon as pos-sible and describe what you no-ticed to your mechanic.
Most of the time, your car willbe whispering smooth soundsthat make you happy and com-fortable. But remember: as soonas you don’t like a sound, have itchecked. At the least, you mightbe saving money by preventing asmall problem from developinginto a major one.

Bales case sparks controversy
By The Associated Press
He is accused of the kind of crimethat makes people shiver, the killingof families in their own homes undercover of night, the butchery ofdefenseless children. Under normalcircumstances, Americans woulddismiss such an act as worthy ofonly one response: swift and merci-less punishment.Not so in the case of Robert Bales
at least, not for some Americans.So far, many seem willing to
believe that a 10-year U.S. militaryveteran, worn down by four tours ofcombat and perhaps suffering frompost-traumatic stress disorder, sim-ply snapped. That somehow theremust be, if not an excuse, at least anexplanation.Exactly what set off the Army ser-
geant accused of massacring 16 civil-ians in Afghanistan’s KandaharProvince is far from clear. Butalready, organizations and individu-als with differing agendas have por-trayed Bales as the personification ofsomething that is profoundly broken,and have seized on his case to ques-tion the war itself or to argue thatthe American government is askingtoo much of its warriors.On the website of Iraq Veterans
Against the War, organizer AaronHughes declared that Afghan warveterans “believe that this incident isnot a case of one ‘bad apple’ but theeffect of a continued U.S. militarypolicy of drone strikes, night raids,
and helicopterattacks whereAfghan civilianspay the price.”Those veterans,he wrote, “hopethat theKandahar mas-sacre will be aturning point” inthe war.“Send a letter
to the editor ofyour local paper condemning themassacre and calling for an end toour occupation in Afghanistan,”Hughes wrote.On March 11, authorities say,
Bales, a 38-year-old married father oftwo from Washington state, stalkedthrough two villages, gunned downcivilians and attempted to burn someof the bodies. The dead included ninechildren.In Lake Tapps, Wash., neighbors
knew Bales as a patriot, a friendlyguy who loved his wife and kids, anda man who never complained aboutthe sacrifices his country repeatedlyasked of him. They find it hard tobelieve he could be capable of suchdepravity.“I kind of sympathize for him,
being gone, being sent over therefour times,” said Beau Britt, wholives across the street. “I can under-stand he’s probably quite wrackedmentally, so I just hope that thingsare justified in court. I hope it goesOK.”
Paul Wohlberg, who lives nextdoor to the Baleses, said: “I just can’tbelieve Bob’s the guy who did this. Agood guy got put in the wrong placeat the wrong time.”Talk like that infuriates Fred
Wellman, a retired Army lieutenantcolonel from Fredericksburg, Va.,who did three tours in Iraq. He saidcomments like those of Bales’ neigh-bors and his attorney simply feedinto the notion of “the broken veter-an.”Wellman does not deny that 10
years of war have severely strainedthe service. But while others mightsee Bales as a wounded soul,Wellman sees a man who sneaked offbase to commit his alleged crimes,then had the presence of mind to“lawyer up” as soon as he wascaught.“That may play well with certain
circles of the civilian community,which doesn’t understand our lives,”Wellman said. “But he’s going to betried by a military court … andchances are three or four of thoseguys had things happen to them,may have had three or four tours,may have lost people, may have beenblown up. And NONE of themsnapped and killed 16 people.” Headded: “It’s just too easy, and a lot ofus, we’re not buying it.”Benjamin Busch, a Marine veter-
an of two tours of Iraq, wrote lastweek on the website The Daily Beastthat he and his comrades are afraidto admit that Bales “lost his mind inwar,” because that “allows for thepossibility that any one of us could goinsane at any time, and that everyveteran poisoned by their combatexperience could be on edge for life.”
Many willing to cut Afghanshooting suspect some slack
BALES
— won 4,724 races. TonyMorgan’s first win — whichcame in Celina one monthshy of his 15th birthday —came while driving hismother Sharon’s horse,Peachahona.“He’s the sixth genera-
tion of his family to beinvolved with horses,” theelder Morgan said. “I fig-ured that surely he’d learnsomething out of six gener-ations. What he’s done isquite an accomplishment.I’m proud of him.”While harness racing
was in his blood, Morgan
— who moved to Michiganfollowing his sophomoreyear at Troy High School— said he never was pres-sured to get into the sport.In fact, he said, his parentshad other dreams for theirson.“My parents had aspira-
tions of me going to col-lege,” Morgan said. “And Idid for a year. Then onspring break, I went out towatch my dad race inDenver. I ended up racingand won 12-15 races infour or five days. Afterthat, I was finished withschool. I came back and fin-ished out the year, but my
heart wasn’t really in it. Iknew I wanted to race.”The wins would contin-
ue to mount for Morgan —with most of them comingafter he turned 35. He won2,000 of his professionalraces his first 20 years inthe sport, with 12,000 winscoming over the past 18years. He is one of onlythree drivers to ever win1,000 or more races in asingle year, having cap-tured 1,004 wins in 2006.“The biggest thing was I
started using my own racebikes,” Morgan said of hisrise to prominence afterturning 35. “When I went
to Chicago, every set ofstirrups was set (for anoth-er driver). He’s about a footshorter than me and I wasnever comfortable at all. Istarted using my own bikein the mid-90s and it was abig turnaround for me. Itwas like night and day. Itjust worked out. From thenon, everything was justroses, really.”Fitting, really. As he
looks backs over a record-setting career that datesback to his beginnings atthe Miami CountyFairgrounds, it’s hard notto view things throughrose-colored glasses.

expressed confidence thathe’d prevail.“I can’t tell you exactly
how the process is going towork,” Romney said. “But Ibet I’m going to become thenominee.”Both are aggressively
competing in the next twostates to vote. Illinois, amore moderate Midwesternstate, is seen as morefriendly territory forRomney, while Santorum isthe favorite in the moreconservative Southernstate of Louisiana.

have said numerous condi-tions set by the Ohio PowerSiting Board would protectthe public, and that failureof the project is unlikelypartly because of increas-ing demand for electricity.Buckeye Wind
spokesman Jason Daggersaid new coal or nuclearprojects are unlikely andthat wind and solar energysources will be necessary.Some county officials
believe the project will gen-erate tax revenue and pro-vide renewable energy,while others say it won’tprovide enough money tomake up for potential dam-age to the landscape andproperty values.Qualifying renewable
energy projects could beexempt from paying tangi-ble personal property taxesunder legislation passed in2010. They would beresponsible instead for apayment in lieu of taxes tolocal governments andschools, with local govern-ments and the county’sgeneral fund splitting anyrevenue generated.“If we don’t get that tax
treatment, it would behard for the project to com-pete with any project insurrounding states,”Everpower spokesmanMichael Speerschneidersaid.

Gage C. BaerlinNORFOLK, Va. — Navy
Petty Officer 3rd ClassGage C. Baerlin, son ofKim A. and David L.Baerlin of Tipp City,recently deployed.Baerlin, along with fel-
low sailors and Marines,assigned to the nuclearpowered aircraft carrierUSS Enterprise (CVN 65),departed Norfolk NavalStation for the ship’s 22ndand final deployment.Enterprise is slated to
deploy to the U.S. Navy’s5th and 6th Fleet areas ofoperation as part of anongoing rotation of U.S.forces supporting mar-itime security operationsin international watersaround the globe.Working with allied and
partner maritime forces,the Enterprise and heraccompanying strike groupwill focus heavily on mar-itime security operationsand theater security coop-eration efforts designedto maintain regionalstability.The Enterprise Carrier
Strike Group consists ofapproximately 5, 500Sailors and Marines who,during the last fewmonths, successfully com-pleted a series of complex
training events and certifi-cations to ensure theywere capable of operatingeffectively and safelytogether.These skills, which will
be vital as the EnterpriseCarrier Strike Group trav-els to the 5th Fleet area ofresponsibility (AOR) insupport of OperationEnduring Freedom (OEF),were recently tested dur-ing the carrier’s CompositeTraining Unit Exercise(COMPTUEX).For Enterprise, the
Navy’s first nuclear-pow-ered aircraft carrier, thedeployment represents theculmination of more than50 years of distinguishedservice.Commissioned in 1961,
the Enterprise is both thelargest and oldest activecombat vessel in the Navy.Enterprise’s age, however,does not impact its effec-tiveness.Throughout its storied
history, Enterprise hasplayed a role in the CubanMissile Crisis, Vietnam,Operations Enduring andIraqi Freedom, and wasone of the first Navyassets deployed followingthe terrorist attacks ofSept. 11, 2001.The importance of the
role Enterprise has played
in both national and navalhistory is a fact not lost onthe sailors and marinescurrently aboard the ship.Enterprise is scheduled fordeactivation and eventualdecommissioning followingits anticipated return laterthis year, marking the endof the carrier’s legendary50-plus years of service.The Enterprise Carrier
Strike Group is comprisedof Enterprise, Carrier AirWing (CVW) 1, DestroyerSquadron (DESRON) 2,guided-missile cruiserUSS Vicksburg (CG 69),and guided-missiledestroyers USS Porter(DDG 78), USS Nitze(DDG 94), and USS JamesE. Williams (DDG 95).CVW-1 is comprised of

Ronald wants to know...Is water used in the process of making paper?Bring in your answer for
Did You Know?
ARW ERTAMLIA
Isn't paper just paper?No, As a matter of fact, paper has itsown "DNA" makeup kind of like humanbeings.Corrugated cardboard boxes &brown grocery bagsAre made with a high-grade fiber to givethem extra strength required for theiruse.Milk cartons & drink boxesMany people think you can't recyclemilk cartons because of their thin plasticlining, but this is easily removed duringthe recycling process.When they're recycled, a single 1 litremilk carton can be turned into fivesheets of high quality office paper - thismakes cartons a valuable recyclingcommodity.
Recycling Paper• 75% of each tree that is cut down forpaper is not used in a paper product• 98 tons of various resources arerequired to make one ton of paper• Paper made from recycled paper uses70% less energy• Recycled paper can be made fromthree different types of paper; mill broke(paper scrap and trimmings), pre-con-sumer waste (paper that was discardedbefore consumer use), and post-con-sumer waste (paper discarded afterconsumer use, such as old newspa-pers.)
Recycling one ton of paper would:• Save enough energy to power theaverage American home for six months.• Save 7,000 gallons of water.• Save 3.3 cubic yards of landfill space.• Reduce greenhouse gas emissions byone metric ton of carbon equivalent(MTCE).
Recycling paper...• Reduces greenhouse gas emissionsthat can contribute to climate change byavoiding methane emissions and reduc-ing energy required for a number ofpaper products• Extends the fiber supply• Saves considerable landfill space• Reduces energy and water consump-tion• Decreases the need for disposal in alandfill

Recycled PaperProcessing Mills
Recycled paper processing mills use paper astheir feedstock. The recovered paper is combinedwith water in a large vessel called a pulper that actslike a blender to separate fibers in the paper sheetsfrom each other. The resultant slurry then passesthrough screens and other separation processes toremove contaminants such as ink, clays, dirt, plasticand metals. The amount of contaminants that areacceptable in the pulp depends upon the type ofpaper being produced. Mechanical separation equip-ment includes coarse and fine screens, centrifugalcleaners, and dispersion or kneading units that breakapart ink particles. Deinking processes use specialsystems aided by soaps or surfactants to wash orfloat ink and other particles away from the fiber.
Recovered fiber can be used to produce newpaper products made entirely of recovered fiber (i.e.100 percent recycled content) or from a blend ofrecovered and virgin fiber. Fiber cannot, however, berecycled endlessly. It is generally accepted that afiber can be used five to seven times before itbecomes too short (as a result of repulping and otherhandling) to be useable in new paper products.Recovered paper with long cellulose fibers (such asoffice paper) has the greatest flexibility for recyclingas it can be used to produce new paper productsthat use either long or short fibers. Recovered paperwith short cellulose fibers (such as newspaper) canonly be recycled into other products that use shortcellulose fibers. For this reason, recovered paper withlong fibers is generally of higher value than recov-ered paper with short fiber.

Chapter Nine:Week Nine
Because of this blog, I have spent alot of time learning about America’sCivilWar. I think that, at first, the lead-ers of the Union Army, includingPresident Lincoln, believed that they’dwin the war pretty quickly. I mean, theNorth had more men, more money,more guns and more resources. I thinkthey thought they’d just roll on downand BANG.That didn’t happen.But not only did that not happen,
they started to realize that this wasgoing to take a really long time to hashout. Here’s the truth, ladies and gentle-men, boys and girls: War is expensive,and I mean EXPENSIVE.You ever wonder where paper
money came from, at least the papermoney we use in the good old U.S. ofA.? The Civil War, that’s where.See, it used to be that money was
metal: gold and silver and copper. Butthere’s only so much gold and silver togo around. So this guy, Salmon P.Chase, suggested, “Hey.Why don’t weuse paper? We’ve got lots of that.”Okay, so he wasn’t just some guy.
He was, as a matter of fact, theSecretary of the Treasury, appointed tothe position by the President himself.And he never said anything evenremotely like what I just said. But thatwas the gist of it. And that’s what theydid. Funny thing, though. The firstAmerican one dollar bills didn’t have apicture of George Washington onthem, like they do now. Nope. The guywho’s grinning puss looked out at youfrom your shiny new paper dollar wasnone other than Salmon P. Chase.Seems he wanted to be president. And
what better way to get people to thinkkindly of you than to see your face onthe money they use to pay bills andbuy food. Never happened, though. Hewas an Ohio governor, Secretary of theTreasury and Chief Justice of theUnited States, but never president.Enough about Salmon P. Chase.
Here’s Uncle Ethan.October 3, 1864Wilf,It has been nearly two years since I
left our home. I am tired of war, offighting, of bloodshed and killing. Iam sick to my very soul with it. I havewatched my fellows die, men whohave fought beside me and, betimes,saved my very life. I have seen fields,fields not so very different from ourown, spoiled with a veritable ocean ofblood and I wonder what possiblegood could ever come from suchground, what wholesome seed couldever take root?I have seen my enemy and, though
in the heat of battle wanted nothingmore than their life’s blood spilled atmy feet, know that they are very muchthe same as me. I have heard it saidthat this war pits kin against kindredand I know with all of my heart that itis true. Why, some of those soldiers atwhom I aim my rifle are childrenyounger even than I when I enlisted. Iam so very much older now. Perhapsnot in years, but in living.I have come to fear that this war is
a futile cause, even though I am still atrue believer. The Union must notdivide. All men must be free. But forevery step that we take forward, theRebs drive us back that very samestep.We have chased the enemy acrossstony ground and found ourselves run-ning back across that very sameground the next hour in full retreat. Iam weary.It is harvest time in Ohio. How I
long for home.Ethan

CHAPTER NINE:QUESTIONS & ACTIVITIESAmericans, even President
Lincoln, didn’t think the Civil Warwould last long. The United States iscurrently involved in two wars. Manypeople thought that neither would lastvery long. Check your local newspa-per for news about each war. What dothe articles say about the current situa-tion in each region? Why do you thinkthe conflicts are still happening?Josh simplified Chase’s reasons for
suggesting paper currency. Researchmore about Samuel Chase. Chase didhave some objections to paper bills.Why did he still suggest that Congressapprove using the money?Search today’s newspaper for any
news about U.S. money. What did youfind? Where did you find it?
Is organization only for grown-ups?I get to speak to grown-ups a lotabout how to be more organizedbut the tips I share with them aretrue and important for anyone, nomatter how old you are.
What does it mean to be organ-ized?Benjamin Franklin is credited withsaying the phrase, “A place foreverything and everything in itsplace.” That phrase simply meansthat you have assigned a specificplace for everything you have(clothes, toys, school supplies)and that when you are finishedwith an item, you return it to itsplace. That’s really all there is tobeing organized!
Why is it important to be organ-ized?
Let’s answer that question by ask-ing another question. Would yourather spend your play time look-ing for what you want to play withor spend it by actually playing withit? I know that I would rather beable to find what I am looking forright away so that I can spend myfree time doing what I want – andnot be frustrated by not being ableto find it. Being organized inschool helps you get better gradestoo because you remember to doyour assignments and never for-get to turn them in!
Organization Solutions for YouWhen I speak to groups, I sharewith them that to be organized,they need to:
1. Set Boundaries – this is thesame as what Benjamin Franklinsaid. Identify a place for every-
thing you have. Forexample, you may finda container that willhold all of your Barbiedolls or Hot Wheeltoys. That way, every-thing you need will betogether when youwant to play with them.For school papers, you could dec-orate a large cereal box and storeyour favorite papers in there.Sometimes though, especiallyafter Christmas or as the schoolyear progresses, you may run outof places for your things. That iswhen you have to do my nextstep.
2.Make Decisions – When yourun out of room for something,you have to make decision aboutwhat to keep and what not tokeep. For example, if you have a
bin that is completely full of Barbiedolls or Hot Wheels and you getmore, you may have to decidewhich ones are your favorites andwhich one you can donate tocharity so another child can playwith them.When your box ofschool papers is full, you will haveto go back through them anddecide which ones you really wantto save and recycle the rest.

Another Idea for your FavoriteSchool PapersWhen you are in school, you getto make lots of neat artwork. Iknow that I have some very spe-cial pieces from my kids.Sometimes though, there are justtoo many to display at one time.Something neat that I did withsome of my kids’ artwork was toturn them into placemats. I gluedtheir artwork onto some specialpaper, sized about 12” x 18”. Youcould decorate a paper grocerybag for the background or evenuse recycled wrapping paper.Then I used some contact paperto cover it so it could be wiped offafter dinner. I have a special col-lection of these placemats that weuse at Christmas. These place-mats would make great gifts forGrandmas and Grandpas andother special people, too!To receive more organizing ideasfor home or work, contact JanetJackson at OrganizationSolutions, LLC.www.OrganizationSolutionsLLC.com

China Daily, Beijing, onPremier Wen’s report
on government work:Premier Wen Jiabao’s report
on government work to deputiesof the national legislature andmembers of the political adviso-ry body has struck a chord inand out of Beijing’s Great Hall ofthe People because of its no-non-sense approach.But his modest review of past
achievements, some of which aremore than praiseworthy on suchan occasion, displays the govern-
ment’s awareness of the difficul-ty of sustaining them.Given Wen’s famous remark
that “confidence is more preciousthan gold” and people’s risingexpectations, it is no surprisethat his report should seek toinspire confidence in attainingquality growth. The continuouslywidening coverage of basic med-ical insurance and social securi-ty services, as well as the sub-stantially raised national pover-ty line, have encouraged higherhopes about what the govern-
ment has to offer.That the national target of
gross domestic product growthfor 2012 is set at 7.5 percent, thelowest since 2005, is the resultof external and internal pres-sures.But this is in line with the
national leadership’s preferencefor quality growth. And a slow-down would provide the opportu-nity for addressing the structur-al contradictions as well as theimbalance, disharmony andunsustainability.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Afghanistan is not Iraq, U.S. officials havebeen fond of saying from the first days of Barack Obama’s presidency.The difference, they said, was that one war Obama inherited, in
Afghanistan, was worth fighting while the other, in Iraq, was best endedas quickly as possible.Now, Afghanistan has turned into Iraq: an inconclusive slog in which
the United States cannot always tell enemy from friend. And like Iraq,Obama has concluded that Afghanistan is best put to rest.Just as he patterned his troop “surge” in Afghanistan on a successful
military strategy in Iraq, now Obama is patterning his withdrawal fromAfghanistan on the Iraq template as well.Obama and British Prime Minster David Cameron said Wednesday
that NATO forces would hand over the lead combat role to Afghanistanforces next year as the U.S. and its allies aim to get out by the end of2014.It’s a gradual step away from the front lines, while pushing indige-
nous forces to take greater and greater responsibility. It’s also a graduallowering of expectations for a country whose internal divisions and cus-toms bewildered the Americans sent to help and where the U.S. nationalsecurity goals were often poorly understood.“Why is it that poll numbers indicate people are interested in ending
the war in Afghanistan?” a contemplative Obama asked during a RoseGarden news conference Wednesday. “It’s because we’ve been there for 10years, and people get weary.”Obama and Cameron stressed that they will not walk out on
Afghanistan, whose uneven military is not up to the task of defendingthe entire country. But Obama in particular seemed keen to show hedoes not have a tin ear.Afghanistan is Obama’s war the one he willingly expanded and rede-
fined as a frontal assault on al-Qaida but like Iraq for former PresidentGeorge W. Bush, the Afghanistan war is becoming political baggage.Americans have little enthusiasm for the Afghanistan mission in this
election year, and a string of violent or distasteful incidents involvingU.S. forces have refocused national attention on whether the war isachieving its goals.The resentment and contempt each side feels for the other appears to
have reached some breaking point in Afghanistan, with a rising numberof killings of American troops by Afghan recruits this year. The relation-ship was far from perfect in Iraq, but fratricide was rare by comparison.Six in 10 Americans see the war as not worth its costs, according to a
Washington Post-ABC News poll released Sunday but conducted beforenews emerged of a massacre of Afghan civilians, apparently by a U.S. sol-dier.Just 35 percent said the war has been worthwhile. More Americans
have opposed the war than supported it for nearly two years, but theimplications are stark eight months before the presidential election.Opposition to the war is bipartisan, and for the first time the Post-
ABC poll showed more Republicans “strongly” see the war as not worthfighting than say the opposite.“When I came into office there has been drift in the Afghanistan
strategy, in part because we had spent a lot of time focusing on Iraqinstead,” Obama said, a bit defensively.“Over the last three years we have refocused attention on getting
Afghanistan right. Would my preference had been that we started someof that earlier? Absolutely. But that’s not the cards that were dealt.”He claimed his strategy has brought the war around the corner. He
was careful not to predict victory, or use any of the traditional languageof war.“We’re making progress, and I believe that we’re going to be able to
make or achieve our objectives in 2014,” he said.

You may want to think carefullybefore accepting any dinner invita-tions at our house in the nearfuture.We were in Florida, see? The
two of us on a short excursion totry to remember what the sunlooks like. Just a little house on ateeming lake, access to a boat, aloaf of bread, a jug of wine, and athousand fish.The man who promised to love,
honor, and bait my hook thoughthe had died and gone to fishingheaven. Spring training was in theoffing and his daily quandary waswhether to fish first and thenwatch baseball or watch baseballand then fish. I only hope hedoesn’t have to answer for all thislargesse in his next incarnation.Minnows are sold by the pound
in Florida and those, thankfully,were stowed in a bucket hangingoff the dock. But as anyone worthhis depth finder will tell you, afisherman is only as good as thevariety of his bait. So we hadworms. Not literally, of course,although the neighborhood sushibar was a little suspect. Stevebought cartons of worms to offerthe fish something in the order ofa buffet. I would have hoped it
wasn’t so, but apparently wormshave to be stored somewhere cooland the only acceptably coolenough place in Florida to whichwe had access was our refrigera-tor.Fast forward to the next
Sunday. Guests are coming for theday. Steve has decided to make hisworld-famous meat loaf. I havedecided to help by contributing myworld-famous stay-the-heck-out-of-the-cook’s-way.In the rare instance, we do plan
ahead. The meat was thawingnicely in the fridge, the potatoeswere ready to be baked, Steve wassteeling himself to the task withsome major-league coffee, and Iwas still out of the way.The first step to making the
meat loaf was to have the meat
stop loafing and become some-thing resembling dinner. Steveopened the fridge and was strucksilent. Silence is a rare enoughoccurrence in our house so as tofocus my attention. Then theuncommon stillness was broken bya very bad word.There was just a little more
meat in our refrigerator than wehad bargained for. Some of theworms, perhaps sensing in theirone-celled brains their fate ascrappie dinner, had made a breakfor it. This wasn’t going to endwell for someone.What, after all, do refrigerators
do besides refrigerate? That’sright. They dehydrate as well.And what, after all, is an earth-worm besides about ninety percent water?So, after the courageous scaling
of the side of the carton and theslithering down the side, thepotential escapees entered the bigwide dark dry world of Kenmoreand promptly shriveled into wormpopsicles.Around our house, very little
stands in the way of dinner. A cou-ple of measly dead worms didn’teven come close to being the disas-ter necessary to put us off our
feed. Steve scooped the recentlydeparted up and dumped them,with neither ceremony nor furthercomment, into the kitchen trashcan where they lay. Right on top.In full view.I don’t know if our reputation
had preceded us or if our guestswere preternaturally cautious. Itsimply cannot be a coincidencethat the two couples came into thehouse and immediately looked atthe contents of the wastebasketwhereupon they discovered theearly remains of several earth-worms. Right on top. In full view.Very astutely of us, we choose
friends who are as hard to grossout as we are. Worm, schworm.The presence of formerly live baitwasn’t about to spoil a nice after-noon of meat loaf eating and cardplaying.There seemed to be more of the
latter than there was of the for-mer leading to a bummer crop ofleftovers for lunch the next day, aninvitation to which was universal-ly declined.Wimps.

COLUMBUS (AP) — A state edu-cation overhaul aimed at betterpreparing Ohio students for collegewill change the way children andschools are evaluated and the cur-riculum they use.
Students should be getting “adiploma worth owning,” but theexisting system shortchanges chil-dren by asking them to meet mini-mum standards that don’t necessari-ly make them college-ready, stateSuperintendent Stan Heffner said.
Gov. John Kasich and other stateleaders want to change that throughan overhaul that’s under way and isexpected to be finished in severalyears, and they recognize it could bea bumpy transition, The ColumbusDispatch reported Sunday.
“We live in a culture where everykid gets a trophy regardless ofwhether they kick it into the goal ornot,” Kasich said. “And then the kid
goes out and gets a job, and then hegoes home and says, ‘Mom, I thoughtI was an A, and the supervisor keepsyelling at me and says I’m not anygood.’ There (needs to be) a balance.”
Ohio already adopted tougherstandards on what students shouldlearn, embracing the use of morenonfiction materials and making it
likely students will learn certain con-cepts in-depth in one year and buildon those in later years.
The state also is part of a group ofstates creating new computer-basedexams to replace standardized test-ing that measures how much stu-dents have learned.
Next up, Ohio is changing how itgrades schools on their performance.Many districts are expected to getlower ratings under the evaluationsystem slated to start next schoolyear, Heffner said. It will gradeschools and districts using a calcula-tion based on factors such as gradua-tion rates, students’ scores on statetests and the performance of certaincategories of students, includingthose with disabilities and those con-sidered economically disadvantaged.
“Parents won’t see as many A’s,”Heffner said. “This is a far more-rig-orous system.”

Dick Anderson reachedthe pinnacle of his rock-climbing endeavors — liter-ally as well as figuratively— 10 years ago when, after3-1/2 exhausting days ofclinging to the side of asheer cliff, he reached thetop of El Capitan, a majes-tic granite monolith inYosemite Park that risesnearly three-fourths of amile straight up.Shortly after finishing
that climb, Anderson, then52, dislocated his rightshoulder. Two years later,while trying to come backfrom surgery on that shoul-der, he blew out the leftone. His climbing dayswere over, and the prospectof being relegated to anoverstuffed chair in front ofa TV pained him as muchas his injured shoulders.“I found that I needed to
be active to feel completeas a person,” saidAnderson, of Minneapolis.But he also found that
being active on the otherside of 50 often involvesembracing new approachesand techniques. And ifyou’re a lifelong athlete, itcan mean coming to gripswith the fact that you’renot going to be able to runas fast, hit a golf ball as faror climb rock walls the wayyou once did.Maintaining fitness as
we age takes extra dili-gence, including moreemphasis on stretching,monitoring hydration,focusing on form andstrengthening core mus-cles. Yes, these are thesame things we were toldto do in our 20s and 30s,but now the trainers reallymean it. A 50-year-old bodyisn’t nearly as forgivingabout us ignoring thesethings as a 20-somethingbody.Anderson decided to
appreciate what he stillcould do rather thanmourn the loss of what hecouldn’t.“I’m so thrilled to be
able to do what I’m doing at
my age that I just let (thedisappointment) go,” hesaid. “For some reason, myshoulders are OK with themotion for cross-countryskiing and kayaking, so Ido a lot of that.”Keeping physically fit as
we age isn’t a pipe dream.A study conducted at
the University ofPittsburgh Medical Centerand published in Januaryin the professional journalPhysician andSportsmedicine found thatloss of muscle mass isn’t aninevitable byproduct ofaging.“This study contradicts
the common observationthat muscle mass andstrength decline as a func-tion of aging alone,” it says,putting the blame on inac-tivity.But just keeping active
isn’t enough, either, expertssay. The key is keepingactive in ways that helpyour body handle the activ-ity. Mia Bremer, fitnessmanager at the retirementcommunity FriendshipVillage of Bloomington,Minn., has seen this fromboth perspectives.“We have clients in their
70s who wouldn’t be having(physical) problems now” if
they had done what theywere supposed to whenthey were in their 50s, shesaid. And at the same time,“We have clients in their80s who did it right and arein excellent shape.”Jill Lile was teaching
dance at CreightonUniversity in Omaha, Neb.,when she was sidelined bya toe injury that oftenafflicts ballet dancers. Shenot only was forced to rede-fine her dancing — “I start-ed perfecting my flat-foottechnique,” she said — butshe segued into a newcareer as a chiropractor.“I could see the writing
on the wall” as far as danc-ing, said Lile, 54. “I wantedto keep exercising becauseI like the way I feel when Iexercise. I like the benefitsof exercising, and I wasn’tready to pack it up. I real-ized that there was somuch else available.There’s yoga and Pilatesand Zumba.”There’s even still dance,
including teaching classesat Minnesota DanceTheatre. It’s just not at thesame intensity.“After I got surgery on
my foot, I tried to workwith it the best I could,”she said. “I can do ballet
flat-footed. I just can’t do itall the way. I’ve modified itas best I could. I can stillget out and move to themusic.”Lile combines her injury
experience with her techni-cal knowledge as a chiro-practor, although not all ofher clients at theHippocrates Center forHolistic Healing inMinneapolis like what shehas to tell them.“A lot of runners are like
dancers — when they gethurt, you can’t get them tostop,” she said. “You have toknow when to stay down. Alot of injuries become a testof patience.”Returning to action too
soon after an injury hasbecome so common thatthere’s even a term for itnow, said Mark Richards,vice president of programdevelopment for the Edina,Minn.-based WelcyonFitness After 50 clubs.“It’s called ‘incomplete
rehabilitation syndrome,’ ”he said. If you injure, say, aknee, use the other knee toestablish “a baseline physi-ological status,” he said,and don’t return to actionuntil the injured joint hasthe same strength andrange of motion as the
healthy one. Otherwise,“you’re an injury waiting tohappen,” he warned.Rick Goullaud, 67,
knows how hard it can beto abstain. When he brokehis foot in October, the painwas worsened by the disap-pointment of it happeningthe weekend before he wasgoing to compete in atriathlon for which he’dspent months training.“It was hard to stop
training when you’d beenlooking forward to some-thing that long,” saidGoullaud, of Plymouth,Minn. “But I’m back at itnow. I train at least fivedays a week, sometimesseven.”
The triathlon’s formatforces him to cross-train,rotating among biking,swimming and running.Experts say that mixingactivities is a key to exer-cising as we age. One of themain causes of repetitivestress injuries — as thename indicates — is repeti-tion.“Keep your body guess-
ing,” said Sarah Hankel, apersonal trainer at theLifetime Fitness club in St.Louis Park, Minn. “Stoprunning every day and bikesome days. Or swim. Takeyoga. There are lots ofalternatives. Injuries tendto occur when monotonysets in.”
TIPS FOR AGING ATHLETES
BY JEFF STRICKLERMinneapolis Star Tribune
Ways for aging athletes to keep the spring in theirstep:• Keep things in balance. Balance is a learned skill,
“although we tend to forget that,” said Mia Bremer, fit-ness manager at the retirement community FriendshipVillage of Bloomington, Minn. “As toddlers, we had tolearn how to balance, and as we get older, we need tocontinue to train ourselves.”Improper balance can lead to pain in knees, hips and
backs. She recommends strengthening the body’s coremuscles — basically, the stomach and lower-backmuscles — as well as doing balancing exercises,which can start with something as simple as standingon one foot.• Focus on form. Runners often wax poetic about
“zoning out” as they pad along their familiar routes, butdon’t let inattention destroy your bliss. “Pay attention tothe mechanics as you execute movement,” said SarahHankel, a personal trainer at the Lifetime Fitness clubin St. Louis Park, Minn. If you’ve developed bad habits,fixing them requires focus. “It takes 3,000 reps for amuscle to acclimate to a new movement pattern,” shesaid.• Remember the basics. The importance of keeping
hydrated increases with age. “Ligaments and tendonsneed the fluid,” said Mark Richards, vice president ofprogram development for the Edina, Minn.-basedWelcyon Fitness After 50 clubs. The experts also urgepaying heightened attention to nutrition and sleep pat-terns.• Follow the rules. We’ve all heard the guidelines
about starting gradually so our muscles can warm upand then allowing for a cool-down period at the end ofan exercise session. Aging bodies need thoseallowances more than ever. Time is often the villain inthis scenario, Hankel said. “If we only have 45 minutes(to work out), there’s an urge to go fast right away tomake the most of the time. Be patient.”• Stretch it out. Tight muscles and tendons can pull
the body out of alignment. “As we get older, the harderit is on the body if we don’t stretch,” Bremer said.
After 50, exercise has major benefits

Dear Heloise: Any hints forkeeping the liquid fabric softenerdispenser in my washer cleanand free of buildup? — Briana,via emailThat dispenser can get pretty
yucky! Here is a really easy hint:Pour some hot water into it andlet sit. Once the gunk has loos-ened, use a bottle brush or othersmall brush to scrub, then flushwith warm tap water.To keep the dispenser clean,
partially fill it with water beforeyou put in thefabric softener, or dilute the sof-tener with water.And occasionally pour some
hot water into the dispenser andscrub.— Heloise
FAST FACTSDear Readers: Hints for
“green” grocery shopping:• Buy products with less
packaging.• Bring reusable shopping
bags.• Do all your shopping at one
location.• Don’t buy more than you
can use before the product goesbad (think fruits and vegeta-bles).• Stock up on items so you go
less often.— HeloiseCURLING IRONDear Readers: Do you have a
buildup of hair spray stuck toyour curling iron? It is easy toclean off. Take an old washclothor terry towel and pour a littlerubbing alcohol on it.Rub the towel over an
unplugged cold iron to removethe residue. Wipe down with adamp cloth to remove any excessalcohol before using. Good asnew! — Heloise
A CLEANER FOR ALLDear Heloise: The glass-
stovetop cleaner is a multipur-pose cleaner for me. I know it ispricey, but a couple of drops go along way. It is great for cleaningcloudy glasses instantly.Just rub a tiny amount on the
glass, and it gets the glasssparkling again.Also, I use it on any glass
bakeware to keep that baked-ongunk from building up. Spreadthe cleaner on and let it sit untilthe buildup is loosened.—Nancy, via emailNancy, the glass-stovetop
cleaner is not recommended forobjects that come in contact withfood. However, for glass fireplaceor shower doors, it is OK.Thanks for writing! — Heloise

SATURDAY’S SOLUTION:
Dear Annie: Four years ago, myadult son was divorced and thenlost his job. He tried selling hishouse, but couldn't find a buyer. Atthe same time, my sister's daugh-ter, also recently divorced, needed alarger house and a better schoolsystem for her three teenage chil-dren.My sister and I came up with
what we thought was a win-winsituation: My niece would takeover my son's house payments. Wehoped she could obtain a mortgagewithin two years and purchase thehouse for the balance. My sonwould make no profit. The onlycondition was that she maintainthe place. After two years, my sonwas still unemployed, and my niecewas unable to qualify for a mort-gage. So we let the arrangementcontinue.We recently learned that my
niece moved out without any notifi-cation or explanation. We wereshocked when we saw that thehouse had been completelydestroyed. We had the propertyevaluated and were told it wouldtake $25,000 to get it back intosaleable condition. With the help ofrelatives and contractors and morethan 500 hours of free labor, thehouse is now in decent shape. Myhusband and I (both retired)invested $15,000.I have sent emails and letters to
my sister and niece, with absolute-ly no response. If they won't helprepay the money, at least theycould offer an explanation and anapology. I finally had a lawyer con-tact my niece about compensation.She has a decent income and wasmore than capable of taking care ofthe house.Our next decision is whether to
file a lawsuit. I have tried torestore the family relationship, butapparently, they are not interested.What do I do? — Can't AffordThis Dilemma
Dear Dilemma: It's disappoint-ing that your niece cannot face upto her responsibility, and that hermother is willing to lose the rela-tionship and be sued in order toallow her daughter to hide. Wedoubt that forgiving a $15,000 debtwill restore your family ties. Youwill simply be out the money.Please make one last attempt to
resolve this before going to court.Can you see your sister in person?Ask to meet at a neutral place todiscuss this before it gets complete-ly out of hand. We hope she willagree so the two of you can expressyour feelings, including how sadyou are, and find out whether any-thing can be done. An apologywould go a long way.
Dear Annie:Would you pleaseask your readers to list a charity ormedical organization in lieu offlowers in death notices? Too manypeople send flowers when there is adecline in giving to medicalresearch.At a recent visitation, there were
two rooms full of flowers. Within afew hours, flowers die. Please helpraise awareness that there areother significant ways to rememberthe deceased.— Friend of aYoung Lung Cancer Victim
Dear Friend:We are all infavor of donations to charity andmedical research, and we hopefamily members who place deathnotices in the newspapers andonline will keep this in mind as away of honoring the deceased. Itmeans a great deal to these organi-zations to have the financial sup-port.
Dear Annie: Thank you forprinting the letter from"Saskatoon," who asked whether itwas rude to leave the TV on whenone has company.We have the same situation with
a family member who leaves theTV on all day. Because of this, wehave shortened our time withthem. Even when we have beeninvited to stay only for a couple ofdays, this family member prefers tosit in front of the idiot box. The TVshouldn't be one's best friend to theexclusion of speaking to guests inyour home -- including family.—Not Visiting So Much Anymore

and partygoers fed thestreet fire with furniture,mattresses, fences,uprooted trees, a large TVset, and even a 20-pound(nine-kilogram) propanetank.Authorities said the
crowd continuously threwbricks and beer bottles atpolice officers andrefused to allow firecrews to douse the blaze
in a scene police likenedto a war zone.Police and fire crews
made the decision tostand back to avoid esca-lating the situation fur-ther, but eventuallymoved in around 4 a.m.when the crowd hadthinned out. Authoritiesestimated the damage atC$100,000.“Going in there with
that number of peoplemight not have been goodfor anybody. So we justkind of stayed back andwere patient until wedecided it was time tomove in,” Holmes said.Police said they would
work with local residentsand college authorities toensure that similar dis-turbances won’t occur inthe future.“Never in my 32 years
as a police officer have I
observed behaviors thatescalated to the pointwhere there was risk thatindividuals could serious-ly be hurt or quite franklykilled,” London’s chief of
police Brad Duncan toldreporters. “We will nottolerate this lack ofrespect for our communi-ty, our laws and specifi-cally this neighborhood.”

Keselowski used Bristol MotorSpeedway last fall to cement hisspot in NASCAR’s championshiprace.Back at the track Sunday,
Keselowski again made his wayto Victory Lane.And he again began to think
about a Sprint Cup title.Keselowski led a career-best
and race-high 231 laps, then heldoff Daytona 500 winner MattKenseth on a late restart to
cruise to his first victory of theseason.“What can I say? I love Bristol
and Bristol loves me,” saidKeselowski, who immediatelybegan taking pictures in VictoryLane to send to Twitter.“The goal at Penske Racing is
to win a Sprint Cup champi-onship, and one win certainlydoesn’t achieve that, but it’s agreat step.”The Chase for the Sprint Cup
championship has a wild-cardprovisional for the winningest

Donaldralliesfor winPALM HARBOR, Fla. (AP) —
Luke Donald returned to No. 1 inthe world the same way he gotthere the first time.Donald rallied from a three-
shot deficit Sunday at theTransitions with a 5-under 66,thenwon a four-man playoff on thefirst extra hole with a shot out ofthe rough to 6 feet and a birdieputt that curled in the left side ofthe cup.He gave a big uppercut with his
right fist to celebrate the end of awild day at Innisbrook — and adevastating finish for Ernie Els.Els was among eight players
who were tied for the lead at somepoint in the final round, and hehad a one-shot lead going into theclosing stretch known as the“Snake Pit” at the Copperheadcourse.The Big Easy missed a 4-foot
birdie putt on the 16th, and thenbadly missed a 4-foot par putt onthe 18th hole that caused him tomiss the playoff by one shot. Helikely has to win in the next twoweeks to avoid missing theMasters for the first time since1993.He first reached No. 1 in the
world by winning a playoff overLee Westwood at Wentworth lastMay. This required more work asDonald had to beat Jim Furyk,Robert Garrigus and Bae Sang-Moon in sudden death.Furyk, who closed with a 69,
had an awkward lie just short ofthe bunker and left himself a 40-foot putt. Bae (68) missed hisbirdie attempt from 18 feet.Garrigus, who birdied the last twoholes in regulation for a 64, pound-ed his tee shot and hit wedge into7 feet, but he pulled his birdie putt.That set the stage for Donald,
who had hit a superb shot from therough that barely cleared thebunker.

State this, Ohio State that, theirguards average this, their postplayers do that,” Jones said. “Iknow Ohio State talked a lotabout being disrespected, but we
felt disrespected, too. I don’tthink anyone knew how good ourdefense was.”Quick on the perimeter and
relentless on the boards, theninth-seeded Gators were a stepahead of Ohio State from thevery start Sunday, beating theeighth-seeded Buckeyes 70-65 inthe Des Moines Regional.Florida scored the game’s firstnine points and led the entireway.Jennifer George had 16 points
and six rebounds and Lanita
Bartley added 15 points to leadFlorida to a win in front of acrowd packed with fans of the in-state Buckeyes.Tayler Hill scored 23 points
for Ohio State, including two latebaskets to pull the Buckeyes (25-7) within two. Florida (20-12)patiently worked the ball insideto George, who went up strong toher left and scored with 45 sec-onds to play. Emilee Harmonmissed at the other end for theBuckeyes.Ohio State star Samantha
Prahalis went scoreless in thesecond half and finished withnine points.On Saturday, Jones said confi-
dently that Ohio State might notsee too many teams in the BigTen that defend like the Gators.Whether that’s true or not, theBuckeyes looked caught offguard.Florida forced turnovers early

NASCARdriver not otherwise eligi-ble. Keselowski’s win atBristol last August was histhird of the season andgave him the provisionalthat allowed him to race forthe title.Now, just a month into
the season, he’s focused oncollecting victories.“One win is good; two
wins is really good,”Keselowski said. “We needto keep winning races tolock ourselves in the Chase,but heck, I’d rather just gointo the Chase in the topspot. If we run like we havethe last few weeks, we’vegot as good a shot as any-body else.”Keselowski narrowly
escaped an early seven-caraccident, worked his waytoward the front, then set-tled in for a tight battlewith Kenseth over the finalthird of the race. Kensethbeat Keselowski on one oftheir restarts fans com-plained instantly onTwitter that Kenseth hadjumped the start andKeselowski had to run himback down to reclaim thelead.But a late caution when
Tony Stewart hit the wallput Keselowski’s win injeopardy.“I’ve got no clue what to
do here,” he radioed crewchief PaulWolfe, who decid-ed to leave Keselowski onthe track and not bring himin to the pits under cau-
tion.Then Keselowski had to
decide which lane to choosefor the final restart, and hisdecision to take the outsidemay have sealed the win.“I knew as long as I
could beat him on the firstlap, I knew I had a goodenough car and I’m a goodenough driver to win,”Keselowski said. “Matt did-n’t make it easy. That’s hisjob, to not make it easy onme. He raced me hard; Iraced him hard, rubbed alittle bit. That’s good rac-ing.”Kenseth settled for sec-
ond in his Roush FenwayRacing Ford.“He should have started
on the bottom, for me;unfortunately he didn’t,”said Kenseth, who alsodenied jumping the earlierrestart.“I knew it was close, but
here is the thing:When youget to the second line, theysay that the race is on. Iknew we took off a littleearly. … I am waiting forhim.… I didn’t even floor ituntil we got to the start-fin-ish line. I don’t know if hewas trying to let me beathim on purpose or whatwas going on.”Keselowski said judging
the restarts was “too sub-jective” and that a no-callby NASCAR “was the rightcall.”The three Toyotas from
Michael Waltrip Racingcapped an impressive dayby rounding out the top five
a feat that marked a strongreturn to racing for BrianVickers.Martin Truex Jr. led the
MWR contingent with athird-place finish and wasfollowed by Bowyer andVickers, who ran his firstrace of the season. Out ofwork since Red Bull Racingclosed at the end of lastseason, Vickers was tabbedlast week to run six of theraces that MWR driverMark Martin sits out thisseason.He had a strong debut
race, leading a career-high125 laps. In 14 previousraces at Bristol, Vickershad led only one lap, neverfinished in the top 10 andended on the lead lap onlyfour times.“When it’s your only one,
you have to make it count,”Vickers said. “This waspretty good and it felt real-ly good when we were outthere leading. It wouldhave been awesome to holdonto that, but it’s the firsttime back so I can’t com-plain about that. What anorganization.”Truex said the showing,
and Vickers’ ability to stepinto an MWR car and posta top-five finish after a lay-off, show the strides theorganization has made.“Obviously it says a lot
about the cars,” Truex said.“I think everybody knowsthat Brian is a good driver.He’s more than capable. Iknew we had great racecars.”

Buckeyesfield. The Gators will facetop-seeded Baylor onTuesday night.“We would play anyone,
anywhere it just didn’tmatter,” Jones said. “Whenwe saw our name come upon the screen, we wereecstatic. We could havebeen playing the Lakers,and we would have beenhugging and crying tearsof joy.”Ohio State was playing
in its 10th consecutiveNCAA tournament, butthis was the Buckeyes’worst seed in that span.They made no secret oftheir displeasure with thedraw but did little to showthey deserved any better.Seconds after the open-
ing tip, Hill turned the ballover against a Florida trap,leading to an easy layupfor Jaterra Bonds. TheGators led 7-0 before theBuckeyes even got a shot
off, and it was 12-2 follow-ing a 3-pointer by Jones.“It started with my
turnover at the beginningof the game,” Hill said. “Wecame to play. I mean, wegot the cards dealt. Wewere ready to play. It hadnothing to do with ourmindset because we hadan eight seed.”The Gators led by as
many as 13 despite theefforts of Hill and Prahalis.Hill scored 12 points beforehalftime and Prahalisadded nine, but Floridawas able to limit theirimpact. At one point,Bartley turned her back tothe rest of the play whileshadowing Prahalis on theperimeter, denying theOhio State star the ball.Prahalis did become the
second Division I player toreach 2,000 points and 900assists for her career, join-ing Courtney Vanderslootof Gonzaga.

Hawks beat CavsCLEVELAND (AP) —
The Atlanta Hawkslimped into their gameSunday dogged by injuriesand illness.Joe Johnson made sure
everyone felt better.Johnson, despite play-
ing out of position becauseof Atlanta’s short roster,scored 28 points and theHawks rolled to a 103-87victory over the ClevelandCavaliers.Atlanta had only 10
players available, but tookan early lead that it neverrelinquished. The Hawksshot 55 percent in the firstquarter, with Johnsonscoring 13 points.“It was very important
for us to get off to a goodstart and sustain it(because of the injuries),especially on the road,”Johnson said. “I just triedto take what the defensegave me.”Alonzo Gee matched a
career high with 20 pointsto lead Cleveland, whichhas lost three straight.Rookie Kyrie Irving scored19 points and had 10assists for his first careerdouble-double.Forward Vladimir
Radmanovic missed thegame with a back injurysustained in Friday’s winover Washington. ForwardMarvin Williams (hip flex-or), shooting guard WillieGreen (hamstring) andpoint guard Jannero Pargo(stomach virus) were alsoout for the Hawks.Williams’ injury has
forced coach Larry Drewto use a starting lineupthat features Johnson, asix-time All-Star at shoot-ing guard, playing smallforward. Jeff Teague andKirk Hinrich started inthe backcourt to go withpower forward JoshSmith, and center ZazaPachulia.
