Looks can be deceiving.So, when Theresa Weeks hands

you a pretty, ribbon-adorned pack-age of her homemade chocolate chipcookies, you would never know howhealthy your “sweet” treat actuallyis.

Weeks, along with her husband,Darin, are both health consciousand work out regularly at PracticeCrossfit in Troy. They also follow thepaleo diet — or caveman diet —rejecting grains, dairy and sugars infavor of more nutrient-dense foodssuch as meat, vegetables, fruit andnuts that humans naturally evolvedto eat.

However, Weeks said she has asweet tooth that cannot be denied,and while she has always enjoyedbaking — with encouragement fromfellow Practice Crossfit members —began exploring healthier choicesfor her sweet treats last summer.

So began Sweet T’s, a paleo-inspired baked goods business shehas ran from her Troy home sinceNovember 2011.

Weeks has a degree in biologywith a minor in chemistry fromTrevecca Nazarene University inNashville, Tenn., “so I like to experi-ment,” she said.

Weeks offers muffins, proteinbars, brownies, cakes, cookies,scones and gran-no-la bars to hercustomers — 95 percent of whomare fitness buffs. She said onlyabout 5 percent of her businessright now are those who purchasethe baked goods for health reasons,such as diabetes.

“Most of my people go to the gymand work out and are health con-scious,” she said.

Her line of baked goods replaces

regular or wheat flour with highquality almond or coconut flour,sugar with Splenda, Stevia or honeyand incorporates other naturalitems such as nuts and fruits.Several of her products also includewhey protein, making them high inprotein and “good” fats. Most arecompletely sugar and dairy free.

“I’m really custom. I can adjust

recipes to whatever the customer’sneeds,” said Weeks, who said she isconsidered a cottage baker at thistime, who cannot sell her productsacross state lines.

Weeks admits that her businessis a specialized market, and that herbaked goods cost more than average

TDN captures seven Associated Press awards

CongressclaimsTalibanstrength

WASHINGTON (AP) —The leaders of the congres-sional committees saidSunday they believed thatthe Taliban had grownstronger since PresidentBarack Obama sent 33,000more U.S. troops toAfghanistan in 2010.

The pessimistic reportby Sen. Dianne Feinstein,D-Calif., and Rep. MikeRogers, R-Mich., chal-lenges Obama’s ownassessment last week inhis visit to Kabul that the“tide had turned” and that“we broke the Taliban’smomentum.”

Feinstein and Rogerstold CNN’s “State of theUnion” they aren’t so sure.The two recently returnedfrom a fact-finding trip tothe region where they metwith Afghan PresidentHamid Karzai.

“President Karzaibelieves that the Talibanwill not come back. I’m notso sure,” Feinstein said.“The Taliban has a shadowsystem of governors inmany provinces.”

When asked if theTaliban’s capabilities havebeen degraded sinceObama deployed the addi-tional troops two years ago,Feinstein said: “I thinkwe’d both say that whatwe’ve found is that theTaliban is stronger.”

More than 1,800 U.S.troops have been killed inthe decade-long war. About88,000 service membersremain deployed, downfrom a peak of more than100,000 last year. Moretroops are expected toleave by the end of summer

PARIS (AP) — Francehanded the presidencySunday to leftist FrancoisHollande, a champion ofgovernment stimulusprograms who says thestate should protect thedowntrodden — a victorythat could deal a deathblow to the drive for aus-terity that has been thehallmark of Europe inrecent years.Mild and affable, the

president-elect inherits acountry deep in debt anddivided over how to inte-grate immigrants whilepreserving its nationalidentity. Markets willclosely watch his initialmoves as president.He narrowly defeated

the hard-driving, atten-tion-getting NicolasSarkozy, an America-friendly leader who ledthe country through itsworst economic troublessince World War II butwhose policies and per-sonality proved too bitterfor many voters to swal-low.“Austerity can no

longer be inevitable!”Hollande declared in hisvictory speech after a sur-prising campaign thatsaw him transform froman unremarkable figureto an increasingly states-manlike one. He will take

office no later than May16.Speaking to exuberant

crowds, Hollande por-trayed himself as a vehi-cle for change acrossEurope.“In all the capitals …

there are people who,thanks to us, are hoping,are looking to us, andwant to finish with aus-terity,” he told supportersearly Monday at Paris’Place de la Bastille. “Youare a movement lifting upeverywhere in Europe,and perhaps the world.”Celebrations contin-

ued into the night on theiconic plaza of the FrenchRevolution, with revelerswaving French, European

and labor union flags andclimbing the base of itscentral column. Leftistswere overjoyed to haveone of their own in powerfor the first time sinceSocialist FrancoisMitterrand was presidentfrom 1981 to 1995.Sarkozy is the latest

victim of a wave of voteranger over spending cutsin Europe that has oustedgovernments and leadersin the past couple ofyears.In Greece, a parlia-

mentary vote Sunday wasseen as critical to thecountry’s prospects forpulling out of a deepfinancial crisis felt inworld markets. A stateelection in Germany andlocal elections in Italywere seen as tests of sup-port for the national gov-ernments’ policies.In France, with 95 per-

cent of the vote counted,official results showedHollande with 51.6 per-cent of the vote comparedwith Sarkozy’s 48.4 per-cent, the InteriorMinistry said. Theturnout was a strong 81percent.“Too many divisions,

too many wounds, toomany breakdowns anddivides have separatedour fellow citizens.This is over now,”

Hollande said in his vic-tory speech, alluding tothe divisive Sarkozy pres-idency.“The foremost duty of

the president of theRepublic is to unite … inorder to face the chal-lenges that await us.”Those challenges are

legion, and begin withEurope’s debt crisis.Hollande has said his

first act after the electionwill be to write a letter toother European leaderscalling for a renegotiationof a budget-trimmingtreaty aimed at bringingthe continent’s economiescloser together.Hollande wants to

allow for government-funded stimulus pro-grams in hopes of restart-ing growth, arguing thatdebts will only get worseif Europe’s economiesdon’t start growing again.Sarkozy and

Germany’s AngelaMerkel spearheaded thecost-cutting treaty, andmany have worried aboutpotential conflict withinthe Franco-German “cou-ple” that underpinsEurope’s post-war unity.Merkel called

Hollande to congratulatehim on his victory.Hollande has said hisfirst trip would be toBerlin.President Barack

Obama also offered con-gratulations and an invi-tation to the White Houseahead of this month’ssummit of the Group ofEight leading economiesat Camp David, Md., theWhite House said.

with all combat troops gone by theend of 2014.Feinstein said she wishes she

had the chance to meet withPakistan’s leaders to discuss theneed for more help from the coun-try to break up the Haqqani net-work. Congress has passed variousrestrictions on U.S. aid in Pakistanafter Osama bin Laden was found

hiding within its borders.A recent defense policy bill

would withhold 60 percent of mili-tary aid if the defense secretarycan’t show the money will be effec-tive in fighting the Taliban andensuring Pakistan helps withefforts to counter roadside bombs.Rogers said that he and

Feinstein agree the first stepshould be for the U.S. to designatethe Haqqani group a terrorist net-

work and “take aggressive steps”to disrupt their operations.He said that group is responsi-

ble for nearly 500 U.S. deaths andcontinues to operate outpostsalong the Afghan-Pakistani bor-der.Republicans have turned the

war into a campaign issue, despitewaning public support for the con-flict, by criticizing Obama for set-ting an end date for U.S. combat

operations.“We ought to have a hard dis-

cussion about saying listen, war iswhen one side wins and one sideloses,” said Rogers.“And if we don’t get to that cal-

culation of strategic defeat of theTaliban, you’re not going to get toa place where you can rest assuredthat you (U.S. troops) can comehome and a safe haven does notreestablish itself.”

National Nurses Weekis a celebration to honornurses, starting May 6 andending May 12. The lastday of Nurses Week waschosen to honor one singlenurse in history. May 12 isthe birthdate of one of themost honored nurses,Florence Nightingale.The foundation of nurs-

ing today was built manyyears ago by FlorenceNightingale. She was oftenreferred to as "The ladywith the lamp" because ofthe way she would carry alantern at night to check onher patients (wounded sol-diers). FlorenceNightingale transformedthe role of the nurse into askilled and well respectedmember of the medicalprofession. A true vision-ary, Florence was noted tobe the first researcher innursing, using her notes tocollect information (data)allowing her to analyze(compare) what helped herpatients heal and feel bet-ter. By doing this, one ofFlorence's contributions tonursing research was ableto show that fresh air, natu-ral light, cleanliness, cleanpure water and workingsewage drainage wouldhelp the patients heal. This

may be very basic informa-tion to us in today's world,although back in the 1800sno one had thought abouttheses things before. Herdedication to nursing wasresponsible for decreasingthe death toll among sol-diers. Her research anddata collection techniquesare still used today.The field of health care

has undergone monumen-tal changes since Florencefirst laid the foundation forthe nursing profession.Nurses are not just foundat the bedside in a hospitalsetting. They can be foundin many areas of healthcare for example: generaldoctor's offices, specialtydoctor's offices, home care(where the nurse comes toyour house), transportnurse (taking patients fromone hospital to another byambulance or helicopter) tomention a few. Nursing isnot a profession for onlywomen as it was inFlorence's era. More menare becoming nursestoday. They are welcomedwith open arms into theprofession. The advance-ment in technology andmedicines has transformedhealth care and the nursingrole virtually in every

aspect. There is still roomfor the nursing role to growand have a greater impacton the care given topatients.Despite the changes in

nursing there are a fewthings that have notchanged over the yearsand should never change,Nurses are still the primarypatient advocate. Theyremain on the frontlines ofpatient care. Nurses areone of the first people youhave interaction with whenyou are born who love andcare for you and one of thelast people you have inter-

action with who love andcare for you when your lifeis coming to an end.The rewards of nursing

have stayed the same dur-ing the years, the heartfeltsatisfaction of doinghands-on care is whatbrings individuals to theprofession. The mostrewarding part of being anurse is to have the honorof caring for your lovedones when they are inneed.Let's remember to come

together as a community tohonor nurses during thisweek of celebration.

The Ghost in theCourthouse Statue

Written byBill BaileyIllustrated by

Michelle Duckworth

Chapter 6Miracle turnip discovered in Jefferson

STORY SO FAR: When Jake meets withhis newspaper staff, his sensationalistic ideasoffend them.After the staff meeting, Jake sayshe's only pretending to be a crazy editor whowill fill the newspaper with wild news stories.He says the nutty news is a trick to make thelocal crooks think the newspaper isn't watch-ing them - so that he can catch them off guardand expose them. Donnie doesn't totally trustJake but feels drawn to him, because he makeslife exciting.

As Mom, Humpty, and I listened to Jake'spep talk about his new plans, the front doorbell rang.

In shuffled BillyWayne Hatcher in his biboveralls, toting a giant turnip. He plopped it onthe front counter with a thud that shook theroom.

Mrs. Buntin stepped up to the front count-er. "Hi, Billy Wayne. What've you got there?"

Bursting with pride, BillyWayne boomed,"I reckon I got the biggest gol-danged turnipin Jefferson, once't again."

Even though we could see and hear BillyWayne from the editor's office, Jake ignoredthe interruption. "You're my team," he said."We've gotta be on the same page."

Staring at Jake through a big plate glasswindow, Billy Wayne blurted, "George Elder,he run ever' piece 'a produce I ever brung inhere - my 20-pound tomater, giant watermil-lon – "

" – Thank you sir, but we don't run thatkind of news anymore," Jake said, poking hishead out his office door. "Too boring."

Billy Wayne gave Jake a long look, sizinghim up. "I don't know where you come from,but this turnip's gonna be mighty big newsdown here," he said. "I don't wanna brag, butit's the biggest one ever growed 'round theseparts."

"Not interested," Jake barked, frowning."Good day, sir." Turning back to us, he said,"Now where was I?"

But Billy Wayne wasn't through. "Mister,you and your lousy newspaper ain't worth thespit on George's shoes," he snapped. "I got agood mind to cancel my prescription."

"Then you should go to Ed's Pharmacy –right down the street," Jake shot back. "Weonly handle subscriptions here."

"Well, how's about this, then?" said BillyWayne. "Stop sending me the dad-blamedpaper! With someone like you in charge, itain't fittin' to read. That clear enough for you?"

Snatching his prized possession off thecounter, Billy Wayne stomped toward thefront door. Even though he was angry, he car-ried the turnip carefully like it was a rarejewel. "This baby's all-natchrul," he mutteredto himself. "Ain't used Miracle Gro or nuthin'.And this is the kind of treatment I get."

Jake had taken a couple of steps toward uswhen suddenly an idea stopped him in histracks. He whipped his head around.

"Miracle? Hmmm..." he said, twiddlinghis fingers rapidly in the air. I've never seensuch a quick change come over a guy. In a sec-ond, his sour, irritated look had shifted into awide, excited grin.

He sniffed like he was smelling for theturnip, tapped his "nose for news," and gaveMom and me a wink. "Miracle.... Yes, ofcourse...."

In one fluid motion, Jake glided out of hisoffice, scooped a camera off a desk, andrushed over to Billy Wayne. Just as the upsetman reached for the door, an arm fell acrosshis shoulder. In a voice all warm and fuzzy,Jake said, "Now hold on there, friend. You're

not the turnip man, are you? The one UncleGeorge always talked about? The one andonly Billy Wayne, the man who grows thebiggest gosh-darned turnips on this planet?"

BillyWayne's eyes lit up. "Well I wouldn'tsay – "

" –Well, I would," said Jake. "By the way,did you say this turnip was grown organical-ly?"

Billy Wayne held the turnip with greatpride. "Mother Nature ain't had no help withthis-un."

Jake flashed a toothy grin. "In that casewe'll hafta help the old gal out."

He knelt down low, aimingthe camera up at the turnip tomake it look bigger. "Hold thatrare scientific specimen up high,sir," he said. Billy Wayne proud-ly lifted the turnip overhead as ifoffering a sacrifice to heaven.The camera flashed severaltimes.

I didn't realize it yet, butJake's wild, new style of report-ing had just begun.

The next afternoon, as thecourthouse crowd was leavingwork, Jake stood on the frontlawn next to Felix's statue. Heshouted in a carnival barker'snasal twang. "Extra! Extra! Readall about it! Miracle turnip! Righthere in Jefferson!"

He held up a newspaper witha huge photo of Billy Wayne andhis turnip. To the side of thatphoto was a close-up picture ofjust the turnip. It looked like thehead of a monster, with angry,white eyes, and wild, leafy hair.

Off to the side were stacks ofnewspapers and a ball of stringJake had used to tie the bundles.I sat on one of them, looking upat him. I had left Humpty at theoffice, so as not to take attentionaway from the main event – Jake.

"Great Cosmic Turnip giveswarning!" he shouted. "Predictscatastrophe! Read all about it inThe Jefferson Times!"

The crowd that gathered out-side the courthouse sized him upsuspiciously. A man driving byhollered out his car window,"You doctored that thing withyour computer!"

But Jake held up the creepyturnip for all to see. NoPhotoshop. Jake had "borrowed"the turnip fromBillyWayne, say-

ing he wanted to take morepictures of it. He had createdthis new look the old-fash-ioned way – with a carvingknife.

"Read what the GreatCosmic Turnip has to saybefore it's too late, andJefferson is wiped off the faceof the earth," Jake warned.

This was met with laugh-ter and smart-alecky com-ments from the crowd.Gradually, they started to turnaway, with several peoplemaking twirling, crazy-as-a-loon motions around theirears.

Not a single person hadbought a newspaper.Frustrated, Jake dropped theturnip to the ground and gaveit a kick. It rolled toward me."These Southerners aren't asdumb as I thought," he said.

Looking at the nearby ballof string and the monster-faced turnip wobbling myway, I had a brainstorm. I'mgood with string. I rigged up ahaunted house once at

Halloween, making it seem like doors andwindows were opening and shutting by them-selves. I used string to cause towels and stuffto fall from the ceiling onto folks. It spookedout a lot of my friends – and even some oftheir parents.

I picked up Jake's ball of string andgrabbed the turnip. Quickly, while the crowdwas starting to leave, I tied the string around itand tossed it over a tree limb. Now, hidingbehind Felix's statue, I tugged on the string.The turnip rose and hovered about ten feet inthe air.

I had been working on adeep, grown-man's voice. Now was mychance to use it. "Well, I'll be hornswoggled!"I said. "That there turnip's flying!"

A woman took a look and let out a shriek.Others turned and stared in amazement.

But I hadn't tied the string tight enough,and it slipped off. The huge vegetable ploppedto the ground. With all eyes on the turnip, Icouldn't do anything to rescue the situation.

Out of desperation, I turned to the statue.If there was a ghost in there, now would surebe a good time for him to help us out.

"Felix, I know Jake's a little odd," I began."A leetle?!" a voice said.Okay, it could have been a voice in my

head. But there was nothing to lose in answer-ing it.

"It's all part of Jake's plan to catch thosebad guys that Mr. Elder was after," I said."You want that, too, don't you?"

"But Meester Passmore ees... how yousay... ze fruitcake," the voice said. Either myimagination was out of control again, or thiswas actually happening.

"Please help," I pleaded. "We need you."The turnip lay there for several seconds. I

heard a deep sigh, the kind someone makeswhen he's giving in. Then, slowly, the turniprose into the air about a foot off the ground –this time, with no string attached. The stunnedcrowd watched as it climbed higher and high-er.

I squeezed my eyesclosed, then popped themwide open to make sure Iwasn't imagining it. Theturnip was still rising.This was the real deal – aflying monster-facedturnip!

DOONESBURY

The Times Leader, Martins Ferry, Ohio,on a new Kent State shooting investigation:

The United States Justice Department has opted not to reopenthe 1970 Kent State shooting investigation. Four-plus decadeshave come and gone, so we agree with that decision.

The Justice Department based its decision on “insurmountablelegal and evidentiary barriers” in regard to the fatal shooting bythe Ohio National Guardsmen during a Vietnam War protest atthe university.

That tragedy played out 42 years ago May 4, taking four KentState students and wounding nine more. …

The recent request to reopen the probe came from one of thosewounded victims. He based his plea on an enhanced audio record-ing that orders may have been given for the Guardsmen to prepareto fire on students during the protest. …

Family members and loved ones of the Kent State victims havehad 42 years to come to grips with a most sad and unfortunateoccurrence. The pain will never cease but it doeslessen.

A new investigation will only open oldwounds. We see no reason to revisit the tragedy,evoking more heartache.

Amarillo (Texas) Globe-News on rigidideology must not stop progress:

Few political observers have compared the42nd president of the United States with the36th.

But what former President Bill Clintonintoned recently at West Texas A&M Universitywell might have brought back memories of thelate President Lyndon Johnson.

It is this, quite simply: Rigid ideology mustnot stop progress on behalf of the country.

Clinton… told a packed First United BankEvent Center that “we can do lots of stuff togrow the economy, but if we spend most of ourtime making ideological arguments … we’re nothaving the right debate. We’re talking aboutwhether to do something, instead of how to doit.”

Bingo, Mr. President.Clinton helped craft a successful presidency

from 1993 until 2001 by working with congres-sional Republicans who took control of Congressafter the landmark 1994 mid-term election. The president’s taxpolicies, coupled with GOP-led spending restraints, helped bringabout a balanced budget for several years running.

Does that remind anyone of LBJ? It should.The Texan also worked well with congressional Republicans.

Some of his better friends in the Senate were the likes of the lateRepublican Sen. Everett Dirksen of Illinois, with whom he had atremendous working relationship, owing in part to LBJ’s own timeas Senate majority leader. Johnson would fight publicly withRepublicans, then work privately with them on ways to reach com-promise. …

It’s a complicated process at times, which is the very nature oflegislating.

Clinton gets it.So did Johnson.And so should those who serve the nation today.

There are a few possessionsthat every man remembers.His first baseball glove. His

first bicycle. His first car. Hisfirst house.His lawn mower.I realize that those of you

who are of the female persua-sion might not think the lawnmower belongs on this list. Iguess if you live in New YorkCity it doesn’t. But if you live inOhio, your lawn mower is animportant part of your life.Here’s an example: I was

going down the street the otherday in a part of town where theyards are slightly larger thanpostage stamps. There, in thefront yard of one of the houses,was a guy and his lawn mower.Not just any lawn mower — itwas a big John Deere mower.I’m not sure that he even hadenough space to turn that babyaround, he probably just had togo back and forth across thelawn. But it sure looked good.That mower was bright andshiny and the engine was roar-ing and it was throwing grassall over the block.I have had pretty good luck

with my memorable posses-

sions. My first baseball gloveserved me well for many years.If only my bat would haveworked as well.My first bicycle had a banana

seat and big handle bars. Theydon’t make them like that any-more (thank goodness).My first car was a VW bug. It

was indestructible and a lot offun.My first house was a nice lit-

tle place on Summit Ave. withgreat neighbors. It was only alittle bit bigger than the JohnDeere I saw the guy driving theother day, but it was goodenough until we outgrew it.Then there are my lawn

mowers.I haven’t had such great luck

with lawn mowers. When I was

young, my parents had a SearsCraftsman push mower.Remember how they saidCraftsmen always started onthe first pull. This one did. Itwas tougher than a Shermantank. We never serviced it,never changed the oil, never didanything but put gas in it andfire it up.It’s been all downhill since

then.My current mower is a big

walk-behind made by a manu-facturer that will remain nam-less but that is named for a tur-tle. It does a good job mowinggas, but in the years I’ve had itstrange things have happened.The latest problem occurredwhen I was in the back yardand the back wheel fell off. Oneminute I’m mowing along, thenext minute I’m digging atrench.This is the last in a long line

of various things falling off themower, so now I have a dilem-ma. Do I pay to get it fixed(again) or just give up and get anew mower? In the meantime,I’m mowing my yard with astandard small push mower.Either I’m getting older or the

yard is getting bigger, because itdoesn’t go as quickly as it usedto go.On one hand, how hard can it

be to get a wheel fixed? Thenagain, it might need a new axleor something.On the other hand, buying a

brand new mower that size willbe a lot of money and basicallyI’m a cheapskate.On yet another hand, I’m not

sure I want to spend the rest ofthe summer slogging around mybig yard behind a little mower –especially since my grass isgrowing about a foot a day.On even another hand, I can’t

convince my wife that mowingthe grass is a lot of fun, so thatoption is out.I’m just going to have to bite

the bullet, or in this case, themower. It’s going to cost somecash, but I’m sure the guy withthe small yard and the big JohnDeere has nothing but goodmemories about his time in theyard. I’ll have to try to be morelike him.

NASHVILLE,Tenn. (AP)— George Lindsey, whomade a TV career as a grin-ning service station atten-dant named Goober on “TheAndy Griffith Show” and“Hee Haw,” has died.He was83.The Marshall-Donnelly-

Combs Funeral Home inNashville said Lindsay diedearly Sunday morning aftera brief illness.Lindsey was the beanie-

wearing Goober on “TheAndy Griffith Show” from1964 to 1968 and its succes-sor, “Mayberry RFD,” from1968 to 1971. He played thesame jovial character on“Hee Haw” from 1971 untilit went out of production in1993.“America has grown up

with me,” Lindsey said in anAssociated Press interviewin 1985. “Goober is everyman; everyone finds some-thing to like about ol’Goober.”He joined “The Andy

Griffith Show” in 1964 whenJim Nabors, portrayingGomer Pyle, left the pro-gram. Goober Pyle, who hadbeenmentioned on the showas Gomer’s cousin, replacedhim.“At that time, we were

the best acting ensemble onTV,” Lindsey once told aninterviewer. “The scriptswere terrific. Andy is thebest script constructionistI’ve ever been involved with.And you have to lift youracting level up to his; he’sawfully good.”In a statement released

through the funeral home,Griffith said, “GeorgeLindsey was my friend. Ihad great respect for his tal-ent and his human spirit. Inrecent years, we spoke oftenby telephone. Our last con-versation was a few daysago … I am happy to saythat as we found ourselvesin our eighties, we were notafraid to say, ‘I love you.’That was the last thingGeorge and I had to say toeach other. ‘I love you.’”Although he was best

known as Goober, Lindseyhad other roles during a

long TV career. Earlier, heoften was a “heavy” andonce shot Matt Dillon on“Gunsmoke.”His other TV credits

included roles on “MASH,””The Wonderful World ofDisney,” ”CHIPs,” ”The GlenCampbell Goodtime Hour,””The Real McCoys,””Rifleman,” ”The AlfredHitchcock Hour,” ”TwilightZone” and “Love AmericanStyle.”Reflecting on his career,

he said in 1985: “There’s aresidual effect of knowingI’ve made America laugh.I’m not the only one, but I’vecontributed something.”He had movie roles, too,

appearing in “CannonballRun II” and “Take This Joband Shove It.” His voice wasused in animated WaltDisney features including“The Aristocats,” ”TheRescuers” and “RobinHood.”Lindsey was born in

Jasper, Ala., the son of abutcher. He received a bach-

elor of science degree fromFlorence State TeachersCollege (now the Universityof North Alabama) in 1952after majoring in physicaleducation and biology andplaying quarterback on thefootball team.After spending three

years in the Air Force, heworked one year as a highschool baseball and basket-ball coach and historyteacher near Huntsville,Ala.In 1956, he attended the

American Theatre Wing inNew York City and beganhis professional career onBroadway, appearing in themusicals “All American” and“Wonderful Town.”He moved to Hollywood

in the early 1960s and thento Nashville in the early1990s.“There’s no place in the

United States I can go thatthey don’t know me. Theymay not know me, but theyknow the character,” he toldThe Tennessean in 1980.

SANAA, Yemen (AP) — An airstrikeSunday killed a top al-Qaida leader on theFBI’s most wanted list for his role in the2000 bombing of the USS Cole warship,Yemeni officials said. The airstrike resem-bled earlier U.S. drone attacks, but theU.S. did not immediately confirm it.Fahd al-Quso was hit by a missile as he

stepped out of his vehicle, along withanother al-Qaida operative in the south-ern Shabwa province, Yemeni militaryofficials said. They were speaking on con-dition of anonymity in accordance withmilitary regulations.The airstrike came as the U.S. and

Yemen cooperate in a battle against al-Qaida in southern Yemen.Al-Quso, 37, was on the FBI’s most

wanted list, with a $5 million reward forinformation leading to his capture. Hewas indicted in the U.S. for his role in the2000 bombing in the USS Cole in Aden,Yemen, in which 17 American sailors werekilled and 39 injured.He served more than five years in a

Yemeni prison for his role in the attackand was released in 2007. He brieflyescaped prison in 2003 but later turnedhimself in to serve the rest of his sen-tence.A telephone text message claiming to

be from al-Qaida media arm confirmed al-Quso was killed in the strike.Al-Quso was also one of the most sen-

ior al-Qaida leaders publicly linked to the2009 Christmas airliner attack. He hasallegedly met with the suspected bomberUmar Farouk Abdulmutallab in Yemenbefore he left on his way to execute hisfailed bombing over Detroit.In December 2010, al-Quso was desig-

nated a global terrorist by the StateDepartment, an indication that his role inal-Qaida’s Yemen branch had grown moreprominent.Local Yemeni official Abu Bakr bin

Farid and the Yemeni Embassy inWashington confirmed al-Quso was killedin Rafd, a remote mountain valley in

Shabwa.It is the area where many of al-Qaida

leaders are believed to have taken cover,including the U.S.-born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, killed in a U.S. airstrike in Yemenlast year.Yemeni government officials reported

that Al-Quso and al-Awlaki were killed inan airstrike in 2009 in Rafd, but they bothresurfaced alive.Al-Quso was known for his ability to

move in disguise. He was from the sametribe as al-Awlaki, and local tribesmensaid he was a close aide. He studied ultra-conservative Salafi Islam as a teenager innorthern Yemen, then returned home tolearn welding.The White House and the State

Department had no immediate comment.Yemen’s government has been waging

an offensive on al-Qaida militants, whohave taken advantage of the country’spolitical turmoil over the last year toexpand their hold in the south.The new Yemeni president has prom-

ised improved cooperation with the U.S. tocombat the militants. On Saturday, hesaid the fight against al-Qaida is in itsearly stages.Al-Quso’s association with al-Qaida

dated back more than a decade, when hemet with Osama bin Laden inAfghanistan.Bin Laden allegedly told him to “elimi-

nate the infidels from the ArabianPeninsula.”From there he rose through the ranks.

He was assigned in Aden to videotape the1998 suicide bombing of the USS Cole, buthe fell asleep.Despite the lapse, the local leader,

Nasser al-Wahishi, declared him theregional leader in Aden.He was also believed to have played a

prominent role in al-Qaida’s attack andcapture last year of Zinjibar, the capital ofAbyan province.Government troops are trying to drive

al-Qaida out of Zinjibar.

MILITARY BRIEF

WASHINGTON (AP) —The Senate is the newestarena in the election-yearface-off over federal stu-dent loans, and both sidesare starting out by pound-ing away at each other.With Congress return-

ing from a weeklong springrecess, the Senate plans tovote Tuesday on whether tostart debating aDemocratic plan to keepcollege loan interest ratesfor 7.4 million studentsfrom doubling on July 1.The $6 billion measurewould be paid for by col-lecting more SocialSecurity and Medicare pay-roll taxes from high-earn-ing owners of some private-ly held corporations.Republicans want a vote

on their own bill, whichlike the Democrats’ wouldfreeze today’s 3.4 percentinterest rates on subsi-dized Stafford loans for onemore year. It would befinanced by eliminating apreventive health programestablished by PresidentBarack Obama’s healthcare overhaul.Each side scoffs that the

other’s proposal is unac-ceptable, and neither isexpected to garner thevotes needed to prevail.Even so, everyone expects abipartisan deal before July1 because no one wants

students’ interest rates toballoon before November’spresidential and congres-sional elections.“We’re still pushing on

that,” said Rhode IslandSen. Jack Reed, chief spon-sor of the Democratic bill.“But I also think I recog-nize if there is another pro-posal outside of going afterthe health care fund, we’llcertainly listen.”Stafford loans are made

to low- and middle-incomestudents. With studentloans of all types a growinghousehold burden that nowexceeds the nation’s credit-card debt, the fight inCongress has come to sym-

bolize how each partywould help families copewith the rugged economyand how to pay for it.Lawmakers face a pile

of other issues this week aswell.On Tuesday, the House

Judiciary Committee plansto vote on GOP-written leg-islation renewing federalefforts to prevent domesticviolence. The Senate votedto renew the ViolenceAgainst Women Act twoweeks ago and includedprovisions, such as requir-ing groups receiving moneyto show they don’t discrim-inate against gays, thatdrew opposition from con-servatives. The House ver-sion is expected to leaveout such contentious lan-guage.That same day, House-

Senate bargainers plan tostart talks on overhaulingfederal transportation pro-grams. Congress is underpressure to act because thetrust fund that pays forhighway aid to states isforecast to go broke nextyear. Transportation pro-grams have limped alongunder nine short-termextensions since the lastlong-term transportationbill expired in 2009, andthe current one expiresJune 30.

WASHINGTON (AP) — VicePresident Joe Biden says he’s“absolutely comfortable” withgay couples who marry gettingthe same civil rights and liber-ties as heterosexual couples, astand that gay rights advocatesinterpreted as an endorsementof same-sex marriage.But the White House and

President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign, eager to avoida debate on a hot-button socialissue in an election year, insistedthat Biden was not breakingranks with Obama, who does notpublicly support gay marriage.Biden told NBC’s “Meet the

Press” that marriage should beabout being loyal to someone youlove, whether that marriage is

between a man and a woman,two men or two women. “I amabsolutely comfortable with thefact that men marry-ing men, women mar-rying women and het-erosexual men andwomen marrying oneanother are entitled tothe same exact rights,all the civil rights, allthe civil liberties,”Biden said in theinterview broadcastSunday.Gay rights advo-

cates said Biden’s comments sig-naled unmistakable support forgay marriage, which they saidmade him the highest-rankingmember in the Obama adminis-

tration to take that position.“”I’m grateful that the vice

president of the United States isnow publically sup-porting marriageequality and I hopevery soon the presi-dent and the rest ofour leaders,Republicans andDemocrats inCongress, will fall inline with the vicepresident,” said ChadGriffin, a gay rightssupporter and a mem-

ber of the Obama campaign’snational finance committee.Joe Solmonese, the president

of the Human Rights Campaign,said his group was encouraged

by Biden’s comments and calledon Obama to speak out for “fullmarriage equality” for same-sexcouples.While Obama opposes gay

marriage, he says his personalviews on the matter are “evolv-ing” and has noted that pollsshow Americans are increasinglysupporting same-sex marriage.Biden, a devout Catholic, has

said previously that personalviews, as well as the country’s,on gay marriage are evolving.The vice president’s office

said Sunday after the interviewaired that Biden’s commentswere not an endorsement of gaymarriage, but simply a reaffir-mation of his belief that same-sex couples deserve the same

rights and protections as allAmericans.David Axelrod, a senior advis-

er to the Obama campaign,chimed in on Twitter, sayingBiden and Obama share theview that all married couplesshould have the same legalrights.For the Obama campaign, gay

marriage has become a vexingelection year issue.Each time the campaign pro-

motes the president’s extensivework in advancing gay rights,including ending the military’sban on openly gay service mem-bers, it is reminded of the onearea where the president hasfallen short in the eyes of gayrights advocates.

GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE,Cuba (AP) —The U.S. has finally started theprosecution of five Guantanamo Bay prison-ers charged in the Sept. 11 attacks that killednearly 3,000 people, but the trial won’t bestarting anytime soon, and both sides saidSunday that the case could continue foryears.Defense lawyer James Connell said a ten-

tative trial date of May 2013 is a “placehold-er” until a true date can be set for the trial ofKhalid Sheikh Mohammed, the self-described mastermind of the attacks, and hisco-defendants.“It’s going to take time,” said the chief

prosecutor, Army Brig. Gen. Mark Martins,who said he expects to battle a barrage ofdefense motions before the case goes to trial.“I am getting ready for hundreds of

motions because we want them to shooteverything they can shoot at us,” he said inthe wake of Saturday’s arraignment, whichdragged on for 13 hours due to stalling tacticsby the defendants.“Everyone is frustrated by the delay,”

Martins said. He noted that the civilian trialof convicted Sept. 11 conspirator ZacariasMoussaoui took four years, and he pleadedguilty in 2006 before being sentenced to lifein prison.On Saturday, Mohammed and his co-

defendants refused to respond to the judge oruse the court’s translation system and one ofthe men demanded a lengthy reading of thecharges. Connell called the tactics “peaceful

resistance to an unjust system.”The arraignment, Connell said, “demon-

strates that this will be a long, hard-foughtbut peaceful struggle against secrecy, tortureand the misguided institution of the militarycommissions.”The defendants’ actions outraged rela-

tives of the victims.“They’re engaging in jihad in a court-

room,” said Debra Burlingame, whose broth-er, Charles, was the pilot of the plane thatflew into the Pentagon. She watched the pro-ceeding from Brooklyn on one of the closed-circuit video feeds around the United States.A handful of those who lost family mem-

bers in the attacks were selected by a lotteryand flown to watch the proceedings at theU.S. naval base in Cuba, where Mohammedand his co-defendants put off their pleas untila later date.They face 2,976 counts of murder and ter-

rorism in the 2001 attacks that sent hijackedjetliners into NewYork’sWorld Trade Centerand the Pentagon. The charges carry thedeath penalty.The detainees’ lawyers spent hours ques-

tioning the judge, Army Col. James Pohl,about his qualifications to hear the case andsuggested their clients were beingmistreatedat the hearing, in a strategy that could pavethe way for future appeals. Mohammed wassubjected to a strip search and “inflammato-ry and unnecessary” treatment before court,said his attorney, David Nevin.It was the defendants’ first appearance in

more than three years after stalled efforts totry them for the terror attacks.The Obama administration renewed

plans to try the men at Guantanamo Bayafter a bid to try the men in New York Cityblocks from the trade center site hit politicalopposition.Officials adopted new rules with Congress

that forbade testimony obtained through tor-ture or cruel treatment, and they now saythat defendants could be tried as fairly hereas in a civilian court.Nevin said it would be impossible to pres-

ent testimony against his client that wasn’tcorrupted by treatment that he says amount-ed torture. “It’s not possible to untaint theevidence anymore than it is to unring a bell.”Eddie Bracken of Staten Island, New

York,was one of the victims’ relatives allowed

to attend the hearing, and said it was impor-tant to him to see the people accused ofkilling his sister, Lucy Fishman, a Brooklynmother of two who worked in the WorldTrade Center.He said he came away with impressed

with themilitary justice system,with defenselawyers putting up an aggressive defense.“If they had done this another country it

would have been a different story,” Brackensaid Sunday. “But this is America.”Human rights groups and defense

lawyers say the secrecy of Guantanamo andthemilitary tribunals will make it impossiblefor the defense.They argued the U.S. kept the case out of

civilian court to prevent disclosure of thetreatment of prisoners like Mohammed, whowas waterboarded 183 times.

Dear Readers: In a recentcolumn, a reader asked for sug-gestions about what to do withall of the insulated foam boxes.Here is what some of you said:Dennis in Washington says, “I

take them to the local mailingcenter for recycling.”Sondra in Nebraska says:

“Those foam boxes are prized byfishermen! They are perfect fortransporting worms used forbait.”Eileen in New York says: “I

break them up into small piecesand use them in the bottom ofpots for plants. It fills the pot,and I don’t have to use so muchsoil.”Victoria in Montana uses the

foam boxes to cover new plantsto keep them from freezing.Jane, via email, says: “I use

foam boxes to store seasonal dec-orations. They hold up betterthan cardboard boxes and aremore protective.”Cathy, via email, says: “I love

having those foam boxes on handfor gatherings! It’s nice to have

insulated containers to send left-overs home with guests.”These are all great reuse and

recycle hints! So many sugges-tions came in that I will do a fol-low-up column.Keep an eye out, and keep

sending in your hints! —Heloise

FAST FACTSDear Heloise: Here are some

handy uses for plastic frostingtubs:• Hold loose straight pins.• Keep excess change in one.• Use to organize a desk

drawer.• Use to scoop pet or bird

food from a larger container.• Place small amounts of

paint in one for small jobs.— Phyllis in ArkansasOPEN SAFELYDear Heloise: I use a hand-

crank can opener. Almost everytime I used it, I could never com-pletely detach the lid from thecan.I had to bend the lid up by

the small piece of metal still con-nected.Now, when opening a can

with the opener, I clamp theopener to the can and turn thecrank about one-quarter turncounterclockwise, then proceedto turn the crank clockwise toopen the can. The lid comes offneatly just about every time.—Ray, via email

SATURDAY’S SOLUTION:

Dear Annie: I have a never-ending situation with my hus-band, whom I love very much. Wehave two preteen daughters heinsists on taking across the bor-der to Mexico to visit his family.With the recent drug wars andviolence there, I am beside myselfin allowing this to happen. Thearguments have been so heatedthat we've actually talked tolawyers. Neither one of us wantsto end up in divorce court, but weare both firm in our positions.He takes the kids to visit about

once a week, and I'm stronglyagainst it. My lawyer said thatsince we live in a border town, hedidn't think a court would preventmy husband from taking the kidsto Mexico. I'm not so sure. I hateto say it, but if it keeps my girlssafe, I'm willing to leave him ifthat means he won't be able totransport them out of the countryto Mexico. Any advice? — Texas

Dear Texas: The U.S. recentlyissued travel warnings for Mexico.Your husband undoubtedly feelsthere is no undue risk in visitinghis family, but he is not acceptingthe reality of the situation there.Go online and get some up-to-datestatistics about the increase inviolence, and see whether you canconvince him to be more carefulwith his daughters' lives. Is thereany possibility that the in-lawscould meet your husband inTexas? Would they be willing toarrange a visit in a safer area ofMexico (there are several)? Keepin mind that a divorce would notnecessarily prevent your husbandfrom taking the children acrossthe border, so we urge you to finda way to work this out.

Dear Annie: I am getting mar-ried in October. Everything wasgoing smoothly until my fiancementioned that his mom wantedher cousin's daughter, "Michelle,"to be a bridesmaid. I have nevermet Michelle, she doesn't speakEnglish, and I would feel uncom-fortable having her play such animportant role. My fiance said itwould be a nice thing to do, espe-cially since Michelle has cancer,but he left the decision to me.I decided against it, but was

adamant that she attend the wed-ding as a guest. My fiance's fami-ly, however, felt it was an attackon them.His mom said she wouldn't feel

welcome at our wedding andrefuses to attend if Michelle isn'ta bridesmaid. Then my fiance'ssister (who is a bridesmaid) saidshe wasn't going to attend, either.I was heartbroken and con-

fused, and my fiance is trapped inthe middle. I now feel Michellehas to be a bridesmaid in order tokeep the peace.Was I selfish to deny her in the

first place? My fiance's mom saysno matter what I do, she willnever look at me the same way.—Bride-to-Be

Dear Bride: Let's get a coupleof things straight. Yes, the brideselects her bridesmaids, and thefuture in-laws should not be pres-suring and threatening you.However, this particular choicemeans a great deal to them, and itis wise for a bride to periodicallyplease her future in-laws.Including Michelle from the startwould have been a minor incon-venience to you while gaining lotsof brownie points with your fianceand his family. Now you appear tobe heartless.If you stick to your guns, you'll

end up with nothing. So suck itup, apologize profusely, and sayyou didn't realize how importantit was to include Michelle andyou'd be proud and happy to doso.

Dear Annie: I agree with"Friend of a Young Cancer Victim"that it's better to donate to chari-ty or medical research than spendthe money on flowers at a funeral.However, when I have done this,more often than not, I am inun-dated with endless requests forfurther donations.This makes me not want to

donate at all.— Another FanAnnie's Mailbox is written by

Do what youcan to prepare yourself well, and op-portunity will knock loudly.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) —Watchhow you phrase your requests, or theycould come out sounding more like de-mands than appeals.Try to see thingsfrom the others’ perspectives.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Striveto be a bit more comforting than an-noyed if your mate is in a grumpymood. Calming words could be theelixir that would work wonders onfraying nerves.CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Theonly way you’ll have anything worth-while to show for your time is to applyindustry, not apathy. Nothing will getdone if all you do is voice excuses andneglect your duties.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — A lot of dis-cipline will be required in the man-agement of your resources. To makematters worse, an additional dosagemay be necessary in the handling ofothers’ funds as well.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Unlessyou’re careful, you could stoop to tak-ing out your frustration on those forwhom you care the most, only becauseyou know they’re the ones who’ll takeit without complaint.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Don’t at-tempt to use flattery, subterfuge or in-sincerity when trying to make a pitchfor something you want.

You’d be asking for trouble if youtrespass in forbidden territory.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) —Treatall business endeavors seriously, butespecially those involving people youknow socially. Unless that distinctionis clearly marked, you’ll be asking fortrouble.PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Shouldyou find that your companions areonly partially in accord with your pur-poses, causing you to attempt to ma-nipulate them into agreement, they’llbe even more disenchanted.ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Per-sons who are under your directivesmight need some skillful handling.Unless you can find a way to inspirethem, they aren’t likely to accomplishmuch of anything.COPYRIGHT 2012 United FeatureSyndicate, Inc.

HOROSCOPE CROSSWORD

MOTHER’S DAYMAY 13, 2012

Everybody is convincedthat the best mom in the worldis theirs. That’s probably whyMother’s Day is celebrated indozens of countries around theworld, although not always onthe same date.

There’s nothing new abouthonouring a mother’s uniquerole within the family and soci-ety as a whole.Ancient Greekswere known to celebrate Rhea,the mother of the Gods, andcountless other religions havecelebrated the fertility and nur-

turing qualities of women.The perpetuation of this

tradition in North Americagoes back to an American,Anna Jarvis, who lost hermother on the second Sundayof May, 1906. She convincedthe authorities in her small Vir-ginian town to mark Mother’sDay with a religious ceremonythe following year. The ideawas so popular that the entirestate of Virginia began an offi-cial celebration for mothers in1907. A few years later, in

1914, U.S. PresidentWoodrowWilson officially designatedthe second Sunday in May asMother’s Day.

Since then, many countriesincluding Canada, Brazil, Italy,Japan, and Belgium have fol-lowed this lead and made thesecond Sunday inMay a day offlowers and words of love formoms.

Strangely enough,Mother’s Day is celebrated on

a wide range of dates aroundthe world. It’s celebrated asearly as February in Norwayand as late as December inPanama and Indonesia. Be-tween these two extremes,hardly a month goes by with-out some country honouringtheir mothers with a specialday. One thing is certainthough, no matter the place orthe date, mothers deserve to becelebrated!

Moms are celebrated around the world

Looking like a studPITTSBURGH (AP) — Mat

Latos spent Sunday morningtrying to quell a queasy stom-ach.

All the Cincinnati right-han-der really needed was a little bitof defensive help and an over-powering fastball.

Feeling lightheaded andchugging Gatorade, Latosfought off the bug and a shakyfirst inning to strike out acareer-high 11 and lead theReds to a 5-0 victory over thePittsburgh Pirates on Sunday.

“Sometimes when guys don’tfeel quite right, a lot of timesthey throw their best games,”Cincinnati manager DustyBaker said. “You settle down,you’re concentrating, you try notto overthrow because you don’thave the strength to do so.”

Baker joked that he keptcalling Latos “Michael Jordan”in the dugout between inningsand Latos kept reassuring hismanager he was OK.

Latos (2-2) certainlyappeared to be fine while giving

up two runs over six innings. Sodid the three relievers whoupped Cincinnati’s strikeouttotal to 17, tying a club recordfor a nine-inning game.

The biggest of the 17 whiffscame in the first as Latostightroped out of a bases-loaded,one-out jam. Third basemanTodd Frazier got the first outwith a spectacular diving grabon a liner by Casey McGehee, asmash hit so hard Latos started

Indians top Rangers, hand Darvish 1st lossCLEVELAND (AP) — A glar-

ing problem cost Yu Darvish andthe Texas Rangers.

Ubaldo Jimenez pitchedseven scoreless innings andAsdrubal Cabrera hit a two-rundouble after the Rangers lost aninfield popup in the sun as theCleveland Indians handedDarvish his first major league

loss, 4-2 Sunday.Jason Kipnis homered off

Darvish (4-1), who struck out acareer-high 11 over six innings.Jimenez (3-2) walked four in thefirst three innings but settleddown and permitted only twohits.

Johnny Damon’s pop fell for aleadoff single in the third, lead-

ing to a three-run inning.“If the ball goes into the sun,

what can you do?” Darvish saidthrough an interpreter.

“If this was the first loss everin my life I would feel different,”he said. “But I have experiencedmany losses. So now, I just pre-pare for my next game.”

Darvish signed a $56 million,

six-year contract with Texas inJanuary. The Rangers also bidnearly $52 million to gain nego-tiating rights to the 25-year-oldright-hander, who was 93-38with a 1.99 ERA in Japan.

“He pitched well enough tokeep us in the game, but we did-n’t support him with runs,”

Fowlerfinally awinner

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) —Rickie Fowler finally picked uphis first PGA Tour win Sunday inwhat might be the start of a rival-ry for years to come.

Fowler brought style and sub-stance to a sudden-death playoffat Quail Hollow and delivered aclutch shot a wedge into 4 feet tobirdie the 18th hole and win theWells Fargo Championship overU.S. Open champion Rory McIlroyand D.A. Points.

The 23-year-old Fowler hasbeen talked about as the nextAmerican star since he turned prowith his flashy colors and all-orange outfit on Sunday, histrademark. Now he has a trophyto back up the hype, coming in his67th start as a pro on the PGATour.

And he beat the 23-year-oldMcIlroy to do it.

“I’m looking forward to playingwith Rory for a long time,” saidFlower, who closed with a 3-under69. “It’s awesome. It’s a long wait,but well worth it.”

McIlroy established himself onthe same green two years ago, a20-year-old who closed out arecord 62 by making a 40-footputt. This time, it was Fowler’sturn.

Along for the ride was Points, a35-year-old who had the tourna-ment in his grasp until ending 40straight holes without a bogey bymaking one at the worst time. Hehad a one-shot lead going to the18th in regulation, hit hisapproach in a bunker and nevercame close to a par.

McIlroy had a shot at winningin regulation and missed a 15-footbirdie putt.

In the playoff, all three hit thefairway, with McIlroy hitting a 3-wood that traveled nearly 340yards. Fowler’s wedge covered theflag and spun some 4 feet away.Points went long and did well totwo-putt for his par, making thesecond one from 12 feet. McIlroyhit his wedge well right of the flagand had to work hard for a two-putt par.

That set the stage for Fowler,and he wasn’t about to let thischance get away.

A push from BuschTALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) —

The leader on the last lap isn’tsupposed to win at TalladegaSuperspeedway. Everybodyknows that.

Brad Keselowski disagrees,and he showed how to do itSunday with a calculated planthat sent him to Victory Lane.

Keselowski used a big pushfrom Kyle Busch to pass leaderMatt Kenseth, and after leavingthe Daytona 500 winner in theirwake, Keselowski staved offBusch’s attempt to snatch thewin. Using a move Keselowski

said he had dreamed about, heheld on for his second win of theseason and second at Talladega.

“I had this whole plan if I evergot in that situation where I wasleading; I thought about it andthought about it, dreamed aboutwhat to do, and sure enough,going into (turn) three, it wasjust me and Kyle,” Keselowskisaid. “I knew the move I wantedto pull. It worked because theguy running second should havethe advantage, but I had this

Mayweather solid, still shuns PacquiaoLAS VEGAS (AP) —

Floyd Mayweather Jr. wasgetting ready to make hisring walk about the timeManny Pacquiao arrived atLos Angeles InternationalAirport on PhilippineAirlines Flight 102. He’ll beoccupying a cell at the ClarkCounty Detention Center bythe time Pacquiao makes hisway to this gambling city forhis June 9 fight withTimothy Bradley.The two are seemingly

destined never to be in thesame spot at the same time.Certainly not in the ring,

something Mayweathermade clear Saturday nightafter taking on Miguel Cottoin a bruising fight that, if nothis best, was certainlyamong his most exciting.“The Pacquiao-

Mayweather fight is notgoing to happen,”Mayweather said. “It’s notmy fault.”More on that later,

though Mayweather couldbe called out for using someconvoluted logic about whythe fight won’t happen.Suffice it to say he believeshe’s in the driver’s seat for

any mega-fight, and is bothsuspicious of Pacquiao andunwilling to take equalmoney for the bout.After making a minimum

$32 million in an impressiveperformance Saturday nightagainst Cotto, Mayweathercould be excused for dismiss-ing what would be the rich-est fight in boxing history.But,with jail time coming upfor a domestic abuse charge,there will be plenty of timefor reflection about hisfuture“I don’t know where we’re

going to go from here

because we basically havefought everybody in thissport,” Mayweather said. “Idon’t have to fight if I don’twant to.”Indeed, Mayweather

hinted of retirement follow-ing his tough battle withCotto, which ended withMayweather claiming apiece of the 154-pound titlewith a unanimous decision.But there’s huge money stillto be made, and he’s a fight-er who burns through cashwith a Money Teamentourage that seems togrow with each fight.

Madison Square miracle

NEW YORK (AP) —Amare Stoudemire raisedhis hands in the air, onecovered in padding, asstreamers fell from theceiling above him.Finally, New York could

celebrate an NBA playoffvictory again.Carmelo Anthony

scored 41 points,Stoudemire had 20 pointsand 10 rebounds in hisreturn from a cut hand,and the Knicks snappedan NBA-record, 13-gamepostseason losing streakby beating the MiamiHeat 89-87 Sunday inGame 4 of their first-round series.“I think it’s the first of

many,” said Stoudemire,his left arm back in a slingto keep his hand elevated.“Tonight was a great winfor us, for our fans to final-ly get over that hump ofthose consecutive gamesthat we lost, I guess theKnicks, lost over thoseyears in the playoffs.”Anthony made a

tiebreaking 3-pointer with54.5 seconds left as theKnicks overcame anotherserious injury to win aplayoff game for the firsttime since beating Torontoon April 29, 2001, in Game3 of a best-of-five series.Baron Davis dislocated hisright kneecap in the thirdquarter, just as the Knickswere making the run thatgot them back into thegame after a dismal firsthalf.“I’m just glad that we

came together after that,kept our composure, kepton fighting and won thebasketball game,”Anthony said.LeBron James scored

27 for the Heat, who willtry to close it out in Game5 at home on Wednesday.Dwyane Wade had 22, butmissed a 3-pointer on thelast possession that wouldhave given Miami alengthy rest before start-ing the second round.“We’d love to take the

week (off) but it’s not inthe cards for us to do thatin this round,” Wade said.“You know, we’ll adjust.We play Wednesday inMiami at 7 o’clock. We’llbe ready to play and giveour fans another excitinggame.”Wade’s errant shot set

off a loud celebration fromKnicks fans whose teamwas on the verge of getting

swept for the secondstraight year, and thirdstraight time dating to2004. It didn’t look as ifthe elusive postseason vic-tory would come in thisseries, after the Knickshad been blown out by 20points per game in thefirst three games.

� Auto Racing

NASCARmove all worked up in mymind.”Keselowski was the first

driver in the last five racesat Talladega to take thewhite flag and hold on forthe win.He did it with a planthat left both Busch andKenseth flat-footed, andboth praised Keselowskiafter the race.“He’s no dummy, that’s

for sure,” said Busch, whowound up second for the sec-ond consecutive day.Busch was the leader on

the last lap of Saturday’sNationwide Series race, andwas passed by Joey Loganoright at the finish line. He

conceded there’s little theleader can do to preserve thevictory on the last lap of arestrictor-plate race, andpredicted how Sunday wouldunfold.“If you’re leading, being

pushed, plan on finishingsecond. That’s all there is toit,” Busch said afterSaturday’s defeat.So he should have been

sitting pretty after pushingKeselowski to the front.Instead, Keselowski wenthigh into the third turn, thenpulled off of Busch’s bumperto create some separation.“That allowed me to drive

untouched to the checkeredflag,” Keselowski said. “Itwasn’t easy to convince

myself to do that, but it wasthe right move.”Busch initially seemed

dumbfounded.“I must have screwed

something up, because wegot to turn three and cameunhooked,” Busch said. “Justgave the win away overthere. Not sure exactly whathappened. We definitelyneed to go back and figureout what it was.”Kenseth didn’t feel much

better.He led seven times fora race-high 73 laps, butbelieved he gave the winaway on the final restart.A nine-car accident with

four laps remaining broughtout the yellow flag, settingup a two-lap overtime sprint

to the finish. Kenseth, as theleader, got to pick where hewanted to restart and chosethe outside line so RoushFenway Racing teammateGreg Biffle would line upbehind him and presumablypush him to the victory.That put Keselowski and

Busch together on the insideline, but they drifted back onthe restart as Kensethindeed was able to jump outto a huge lead.It was probably too big of

a lead.Kenseth got a little too

far away from Biffle, whichgave the Keselowski-Buschtandem a chance to catchhim.The two cars sailed pastKenseth on the outside line.
