FAA proposes rules for commercial unmanned aircraftWASHINGTON (AP) —

Drone on, the governmentsays.

Just not through the nightsky. Or close to an airport. Orout of the operator’s sight.And probably not winging itsway with a pizza or package,any time soon.

Long-anticipated rules pro-posed Sunday will open anera in which small (under 55pounds) commercial un-manned aircraft perform rou-tine tasks — crop monitoring,aerial photography, inspec-tions of bridges and cell tow-ers, and much more. But notright away. Final rules areprobably two to three yearsaway.

And when they are in place,they may include a separatecategory with fewer restric-tions for very small drones,likely to be defined as lessthan 4.4 pounds.

The Federal Aviation Ad-ministration released a vari-ety of proposed requirements

for commercial operators tomeet, such as passing aknowledge test administeredby the agency as well as a fed-eral security check. The smalldrones could travel as fast as100 mph, at altitudes of 500feet or lower. Flights over peo-ple except those involved inthe drone’s operation wouldbe prohibited.

“We have tried to be flexiblein writing these rules,” saidFAA Administrator MichaelHuerta. “We want to maintaintoday’s outstanding level ofaviation safety without plac-ing an undue regulatory bur-den on an emerging industry.”

The agency is researchingtechnology that he hopes willeventually enable smalldrones to fly safely beyond thesight of operators, Huertasaid. He emphasized that in-troduction of commercialdrones into the national air-space will be a staged process.The government is also look-ing ahead to how larger

drones might be allowed to flyin airspace shared bymanned aircraft, for example,he said.

One of the key safety con-cerns is that without a hu-man on board the ability to“see and avoid” other aircraftis limited. Another concern isthat the link between the op-erator and a remote controlaircraft can be broken, caus-ing the drone to fly away un-til it loses power or collideswith something.

Cases of flyaway dronesgetting stuck in trees or hit-ting buildings are rampant.Last month, a drone that itsoperator lost control of flewover the White House fenceand crashed on the lawn be-fore Secret Service agentscould block it.

Even with the proposedsafety restrictions, dronescan transform urban infra-structure management, farm-ing, public safety, coastal se-curity, military training,

search and rescue, disasterresponse and more, the WhiteHouse said in a presidentialmemorandum on privacy re-leased in conjunction with therules.

The memorandum lays outmeasures federal agenciesmust follow to guard againstabuse of data collected intheir drone flights. Amongother steps, the order re-quires agencies to review pri-vacy and civil rights protec-tions before deploying dronetechnology and to adhere to arange of controls. Personallyidentifiable information col-lected in drone flights is to bekept no longer than 180 days,although there are excep-tions.

It’s questionable whethersuch steps will satisfy civilliberties advocates, who’veobjected strongly to the gov-ernment’s vigorous use of dig-ital surveillance in the nameof national security. Butdrone advocates were gener-

ally happy with the proposal,although they disagreed withsome of the details.

“I am very pleased to see amuch more reasonable ap-proach to future regulationthan many feared,” saidBrendan Schulman, a NewYork attorney who unsuccess-fully challenged FAA’s restric-tions on drone flights.

The agency currently banscommercial drone flights ex-cept for a few dozen compa-nies that have been grantedwaivers. That ban will stay inplace until regulations be-come final, but FAA officialsplan to continue grantingwaivers case by case. About300 waiver requests arepending and new requestsare being filed almost daily.

The proposed rules are “agood first step” bringing theU.S. closer to realizing thebenefits of drone technology,said Brian Wynne, presidentand CEO of the Associationfor Unmanned Vehicle Sys-

tems International, a tradegroup.

An FAA analysis points toan estimate by the trade as-sociation that drones will cre-ate 70,000 jobs with an eco-nomic impact of more than$13.6 billion in the first threeyears after their integrationinto U.S. skies.

In a big concession to in-dustry, the FAA said it won’trequire an “airworthinesscertificate” for small drones.The design and manufactureof each model of manned air-planes and helicopters gothrough a rigorous approvalprocess by the FAA beforethey are granted airworthi-ness certificates. That cantake years.

The FAA decided thatdrone technology was chang-ing so rapidly that by thetime a model received an air-worthiness certificate the re-mote-controlled aircraftmight already be out of date,Huerta said.

BATON ROUGE, La. –Americans focus on theheart in February withValentine’s Day. But thismonth is also recognizedas American HearthMonth.

Denise Holston-West,LSU AgCenter nutrition-ist, said a healthylifestyle can help preventor delay heart disease,which is the leadingcause of death for menand women in U.S.

Holston-West, who is aregistered dietitian, saida diet rich in fruits andvegetables can protectthe heart.

“The reason we wantfruits and vegetables isbecause they are high invitamins and minerals.They are a good source offiber, and they have an-

tioxidants, which haveeffects beyond vitaminsand minerals,” Holston-West said.

Consuming lean pro-tein can also provideheart protection. She rec-ommended white meatchicken without the skin,fatty fish like salmon –which is also a goodsource of omega-3 fattyacids – low-fat dairyproducts, beans and nuts.

She also suggested eat-ing whole-grain foodsthat have more than 5grams of fiber per serv-ing.

“You also want to haveportion control because itis OK to treat yourself,”she said.

The dietitian also saidthose who are at risk forheart disease and high

blood pressure need towatch their sodium levelsand consume 1,500 mil-ligrams of sodium or lessa day. She noted that2,300 milligrams is whatis recommended for thegeneral population, butthose 51 years and oldershould also follow thelower recommendation.

“One of the best waysto reduce sodium intakeis by not adding salt toyour food,” she said. “Al-so, try eating fresh fruitsand vegetables instead ofcanned.”

Exercise is part of ahealthy lifestyle, too.Anne Kean, LSU AgCen-ter extension associate,said for substantialhealth benefits an indi-vidual needs to be physi-cally active for 150 min-utes per week, or about30 minutes per day fivedays a week. The exer-cise should be at least ata moderate pace.

She said if you arestriving for weight loss,more physical activitymay be needed and wouldalso depend on calorie in-take.

“In general, the moreminutes spent beingphysically active, thegreater the health bene-fits,” Kean said. “Be-cause the heart is a mus-cle, exercise helps condi-tion it.”

“Exercise makes yourorgans more efficient, es-pecially if you have aplaque buildup in someof your arteries,” Hol-ston-West added.

Some physical activityis better than none sothose just starting an ex-ercise routine can try for10 minutes at a time.

She encouraged peoplewith desk jobs to takefrequent breaks to walk.She said devices such aspedometers or wearableactivity trackers moti-vate people to take moresteps.

Ultrasound baby picturegets negative reaction

By Abigail Van BurenDEAR ABBY: Do you

know why people nowa-days feel the need to an-nounce their pregnanciesvia ultrasound pictures?I’m sorry, but I reallydon’t want to see all that.I guess some folks thinkthe image of a blurry,black-and-white fetus is“darling.” But to me, all Isee is an up-close-and-personal snapshot of astranger’s uterus. Even ifwe’re best friends, I don’tneed all that detail. TMI,right?

I really wish peoplewould deliver this kind ofnews face-to-face. Or callme, text me, whatever. Itserves the same purposeand isn’t nearly as graphic. — NOT READYFOR A CLOSE-UP

DEAR NOT READY: If seeing a sonogramis “TMI” for your sensibilities, all you needto do is scroll past it. It’s not as if you’re be-ing forced to view the fetus. Being able tosee the product they’re manufacturing pre-delivery helps many couples to bond withtheir babies, and when people are happy,they often want to share their joy. So loosenup and let them.

******DEAR ABBY: I have been married to my

husband for 10 years. Prior to that, we dat-ed for seven. (We met when we wereteenagers.) My problem is, my mother-in-law still misspells my name, which is Sara.After all these years, she still adds an “h” tothe end of my name, regardless of howmany times my husband has pointed outthe correct spelling.

I don’t know why this is an issue, becausewe send her cards on all the holidays, herbirthday, etc., with my name spelled cor-rectly. How should I approach this withher? — SIMPLY SARA IN ARIZONA

DEAR SIMPLY SARA: If the two of youget along well, just smile and ask her whyshe can’t get the spelling of your nameright. Then listen. However, if there is ten-sion in your relationship, recognize thatthis may be a form of passive aggression,that confronting her will make her defen-

sive, and she will findsome other way to needleyou.

P.S. Another thought.Tell her you’ve changedthe spelling of your nameto “Sarah” and she maydrop the “h”!

******DEAR ABBY: My best

friend is dying from lungcancer, which I think hastraveled to her brain. Iam heartbroken over this.My question is, she seemsdifferent now — angry.She jumped on me whenwe were talking abouther disease. Should I justleave her be? Or whatshould I do? — STAND-ING BY IN TEXAS

DEAR STANDING BY:Your friend may indeed be angry, and shehas a right to be. She may also be veryscared. Continue to stand by her becauseshe will need your support and understand-ing in the months to come.

A diagnosis of metastasized cancer canmake someone feel alone and isolated. Ifshe wants to talk about her prognosis, beprepared to listen. If she is too ill to get outof the house, bring the news about what isgoing on in her circle of friends to her. (Gos-sip can be distracting.) Do NOT offer adviceunless you are asked for it. And if she has abad day, try to be understanding and forgiv-ing.

HOUSTON (AP) — A fed-eral judge in South Texas hastemporarily blocked Presi-dent Barack Obama’s execu-tive action on immigration,giving a coalition of 26 statestime to pursue a lawsuit thataims to permanently stop theorders.

U.S. District Judge An-drew Hanen’s decision lateMonday puts on hold Oba-ma’s orders that could sparefrom deportation as many asfive million people who are inthe U.S. illegally.

Hanen wrote in a memo-randum accompanying hisorder that the lawsuit shouldgo forward and that withouta preliminary injunction thestates would “suffer irrepara-ble harm in this case.”

“The genie would be impos-sible to put back into the bot-tle,” he wrote, adding that heagreed that legalizing thepresence of millions of peopleis a “virtually irreversible”action.

In a statement early Tues-day, the White House defend-ed the executive orders is-sued in November as withinthe president’s legal authori-ty, saying the U.S. SupremeCourt and Congress havesaid federal officials can es-tablish priorities in enforcingimmigration laws.

“The district court’s deci-sion wrongly prevents theselawful, commonsense policiesfrom taking effect and theDepartment of Justice hasindicated that it will appealthat decision,” the statementsaid. An appeal would beheard by the 5th U.S. CircuitCourt of Appeals in New Or-leans.

The first of Obama’s orders— to expand a program thatprotects young immigrantsfrom deportation if they werebrought to the U.S. illegallyas children — was set tostart taking effect Wednes-day. The other major part ofObama’s order, which ex-tends deportation protectionsto parents of U.S. citizensand permanent residentswho have been in the countryfor some years, was not ex-

pected to begin until May 19.Joaquin Guerra, political

director of Texas OrganizingProject, called the ruling a“temporary setback.”

“We will continue gettingimmigrants ready to applyfor administrative relief,” hesaid in a statement. The non-profit says it promotes socialand economic equality for lowto moderate income Texans.

The coalition of states, ledby Texas and made up ofmostly conservative states inthe South and Midwest, ar-gues that Obama has violat-ed the “Take Care Clause” ofthe U.S. Constitution, whichthey say limits the scope ofpresidential power, and thathis executive actions wouldbe difficult to undo once im-migrants started to apply fordeferred action. They alsosay Obama’s order wouldforce increased investment inlaw enforcement, health careand education.

Texas Attorney GeneralKen Paxton called the deci-sion a “victory for the rule oflaw in America” in a state-ment late Monday. TexasGov. Greg Abbott, who ledthe state into the lawsuitwhen he was the state’s at-torney general, said Hanen’sdecision “rightly stops thePresident’s overreach in itstracks.”

Hanen, who’s been on thefederal court since 2002 afterbeing nominated by Presi-dent George W. Bush, regu-larly handles border casesbut wasn’t known for beingoutspoken on immigrationuntil a 2013 case. In thatcase, Hanen suggested thatHomeland Security should bearresting parents living inthe U.S. illegally who inducetheir children to cross theborder.

Congressional Republicanshave vowed to block Obama’sactions by cutting off Home-land Security Departmentspending for the program.Earlier this year, the Repub-lican-controlled Housepassed a $39.7 billion spend-ing bill to fund the depart-ment through the end of the

budget year, but attachedlanguage to undo Obama’sexecutive actions. The fate ofthat House-passed bill is un-clear as Republicans in theSenate do not have the 60-vote majority needed to ad-vance most legislation.

Among those supportingObama’s executive order is agroup of 12 mostly liberalstates, including Washingtonand California, as well as theDistrict of Columbia. Theyfiled a motion with Hanen insupport of Obama, arguing

the directives will substan-tially benefit states and willfurther the public interest.

A group of law enforcementofficials, including the MajorCities Chiefs Association andmore than 20 police chiefsand sheriffs from across the

country, also filed a motion insupport, arguing the execu-tive action will improve pub-lic safety by encouraging co-operation between police andindividuals with concernsabout their immigration sta-tus.

Federal judge stalls Washington’s action on immigration

WASHINGTON (AP) —The official sign-up seasonfor President Barack Oba-ma’s health care law may beover, but leading congres-sional Democrats say mil-lions of Americans facingnew tax penalties deserve asecond chance.

Three senior House mem-bers told The AssociatedPress that they plan tostrongly urge the adminis-tration to grant a specialsign-up opportunity for unin-sured taxpayers who will befacing fines under the law forthe first time this year.

The three are Michigan’sSander Levin, the rankingDemocrat on the Ways andMeans Committee, and De-mocratic Reps. Jim McDer-mott of Washington, andLloyd Doggett of Texas. Allworked to help steer Obama’slaw through rancorous con-gressional debates from2009-2010.

The lawmakers say theyare concerned that many oftheir constituents will findout about the penalties afterit’s already too late for themto sign up for coverage, sinceopen enrollment ended Sun-day.

That means they couldwind up uninsured for anoth-er year, only to owe substan-tially higher fines in 2016.The fines are collectedthrough the income tax sys-tem.

This year is the first timeordinary Americans will ex-

perience the complicated in-teractions between thehealth care law and taxes.Based on congressionalanalysis, tax preparation gi-ant H&R Block says roughly4 million uninsured peoplewill pay penalties.

The IRS has warned thathealth-care related issueswill make its job harder thisfiling season and taxpayersshould be prepared for longcall-center hold times, partic-ularly since the GOP-ledCongress has been loath toapprove more money for theagency.

“Open enrollment periodended before many Ameri-cans filed their taxes,” thethree lawmakers said in astatement. “Without a spe-cial enrollment period, manypeople (who will be payingfines) will not have anotheropportunity to get health cov-erage this year.

“A special enrollment peri-od will not only help manyAmericans avoid making aneven larger payment nextyear, but, more importantly,it will help them gain qualityhealth insurance for 2015,”the lawmakers added.

So far, administration offi-cials have deflected ques-tions about whether an ex-tension will be granted.Health and Human ServicesSecretary Sylvia M. Burwellhas authority to grant specialenrollment periods undercertain circumstances.

Supporters of the law say

an extension would mainlyhelp low- to middle-incomeuninsured people, the samegroup that Obama’s coverageexpansion was intended toserve. But Republicans maycriticize it as another tweakto what they see as unwork-able “Obamacare.”

The health care law impos-es fines on uninsured peoplewhose incomes are deemedhigh enough to enable themto afford coverage. The goalis to broaden the pool of in-sured people, helping to keeppremiums in check for every-body.

The law also offers subsi-dies to lower the cost of pri-vate coverage for people whodon’t have job-based healthcare. That financial assis-tance is provided through anew tax credit.

Although the tax creditsubsidies cover most of thepremiums for many people,the coverage requirementand the fines that enforce itremain deeply unpopular.

And the cost of being unin-sured in America is going upsignificantly.

For 2014, the fine was thegreater of $95 per person or 1percent of household incomeabove the threshold for filingtaxes. That fine will be col-lected when taxpayers filetheir 2014 returns.

But this year the fine willjump to the greater of 2 per-cent of income or $325. By2016, the average fine will beabout $1,100, based on gov-

ernment figures.Polls show that many tax-

payers are unaware of thepotential financial exposure.

Floyd Cable, a real estateagent from Wichita Falls,Texas, said the escalatingfines were part of the moti-vation for him and his wifeto sign up last week. Bothare self-employed, andstretching to pay health in-surance premiums has beena struggle.

“We have been going with-out insurance the last coupleof years just because therates are so astronomical,”Cable said.

But they were also con-cerned they could wind up onthe wrong side of risingpenalties. And, being in hisearly 60s, Cable said he rec-ognizes the value of havinghealth insurance against un-expected illness.

An extension would proba-bly help people still on thefence, like he was.

“Anything that could bedone to give people moretime to sort through this, isnot only a good move for theadministration, but justmakes common sense,” Cablesaid.

Since both the subsidiesand penalties under thehealth law are administeredthrough the tax system,some experts have urged theObama administration topermanently schedule sign-up season to overlap withtax-filing season.

Holder to makecase for policies

WASHINGTON (AP) — The share of federal drug offenderssubject to mandatory minimum sentences that critics call un-duly harsh has plunged in the last year, according to figuresAttorney General Eric Holder plans to release Tuesday in ar-guing for the success of his criminal justice policies.

Preliminary data obtained by The Associated Press show a6 percent drop in the number of federal drug trafficking pros-ecutions in the year that ended last September. At the sametime, the percentage of drug cases in which prosecutors pur-sued mandatory minimum sentences dropped from nearly 64to roughly 51, which the Justice Department says is the low-est on record.

With Holder departing within weeks, the Justice Depart-ment is working to measure the impact of criminal justicepolicies likely to define his legacy. Those include an August2013 initiative known as “Smart on Crime,” which directedprosecutors to avoid charging non-violent drug offenders withcrimes that carry mandatory minimum sentences — rigid,usually years-long punishments that are generally dictatedby drug quantity and restrict a judge’s discretion.

In a speech Tuesday, Holder is expected to disclose newU.S. Sentencing Commission data that he will say show pros-ecutors generally are following his policy and creatingchanges in how drug criminals are charged and punished.

“It is having a real and measurable impact on the decisionsmade by federal prosecutors from coast to coast,” Holder willsay, according to his prepared remarks. “The changes we’veimplemented are firmly taking hold. And our key reforms ap-pear to be successful by every measure we’ve seen so far.”

Experts credit Holder for helping raise sentencing policy asa public issue, though some also say it’s hard to gauge howmuch is directly attributable to “Smart on Crime.”

“I think it’s impossible to identify one factor that is going tobe the cause of all the change,” said Julie Stewart, presidentof Families Against Mandatory Minimums. “But I don’t thinkit’s wrong to give Holder some credit for caring about who’s inprison or trying to get his U.S. Attorneys not to overcharge.”

For decades, law enforcement authorities have evaluatedsuccess through numbers of convictions and the length ofprison terms, conventional measurements seen as particular-ly useful during the 1980s-era crack epidemic. But in sixyears as attorney general, Holder helped anchor a movementthat sought limits on long drug sentences as a matter of fair-ness and cost, promoting a sentencing regime based more onthe facts of a case and less on formulas.

Crucial to that effort was “Smart on Crime,” a cost-cuttinginitiative that instructed federal prosecutors to stop chargingmany low-level drug defendants with crimes that carrymandatory minimums and to consider diverting more non-vi-olent offenders away from prison and into treatment. Theidea was to encourage prosecutors to focus resources on moredangerous drug criminals, even if that meant bringing fewerfederal cases. Between fiscal years 2013 and 2014, the overallnumber of federal drug prosecutions dropped from 22,215 to20,824, the data show.

Holder’s move caused grumbling among some prosecutors,who worried they’d lose leverage to negotiate plea bargains,and among some law-and-order Republicans on Capitol Hill.But in the last fiscal year the percentage of guilty pleas hasheld steady, along with the percentage of drug defendantswho received credit for cooperation, which the Justice De-partment says belies the prosecutors’ concerns.

Still, it’s not clear from the limited snapshot whether thenumbers reflect a new normal, or will continue to fluctuate asthey have for most of the last decade. In his speech, Holderwill say that he expects the trend to continue and that the de-clining use of mandatory minimum punishments can only beattributed to “Smart on Crime.”

Washington’s star-studdedrotation reports to Florida.Matt Harvey continues hiscomeback with the New YorkMets. Joe Maddon takes overthe Chicago Cubs, and Rus-sell Martin gets a closer lookat Toronto’s pitching staff.

While much of the North-east and Midwest navigatesbitter cold and piles of snow,spring training begins inearnest this week whenpitchers and catchers file in-to camps in Florida and Ari-zona. World Champion SanFrancisco is one of four Na-tional League teams slatedto begin on Thursday, andmost of the majors’ pitchersand backstops will be inplace by this weekend.

Following several massivefree-agent deals and block-buster trades, there areplenty of compelling storylines heading into baseball’sfirst spring training sinceRob Manfred took over ascommissioner in January.

The Nationals strength-ened their already solid rota-tion by signing free agentMax Scherzer to a $210 mil-lion, seven-year contract.Now the pressure is onScherzer to deliver on thatbig deal and help the reign-ing NL East champions ad-vance deep into the playoffsfor the first time since thefranchise moved to Washing-ton.

While Scherzer will at-tract plenty of attention thisspring, it looks as if TannerRoark will have to adjust toa bullpen role after he had abreakout season a year ago,winning 15 games with asparking 2.85 ERA. Theright-hander is a nice insur-ance policy for managerMatt Williams should any ofthe starters get hurt.

Harvey missed all of lastseason for his recovery fromelbow ligament-replacementsurgery, and got an earlystart on spring training byreporting to New York’s facil-ity about two weeks beforethe first scheduled workout.He is hoping to be ready foropening day, but the Metscould decide on a slow andsteady approach for the aceright-hander.

It’s a brand new day forthe Cubs when they report toArizona after a banner off-season that included the ad-dition of Maddon, who had a754-705 record during hissuccessful nine-year runwith Tampa Bay.

Cubs President Theo Ep-stein pounced on the quirkyskipper after he opted out ofhis contract with the Rays,dumping Rick Renteria afterjust one season. Epstein iscounting on Maddon to easethe transition of the organi-zation’s impressive stable ofprospects to the rigors of themajors.

The Cubs were one ofbaseball’s most active teamsover the winter. Same goesfor Toronto, which is seekingits first playoff appearancesince it won the World Seriesin 1993.

Martin was one of the ma-jors’ most prized free agentsover the winter, and he optedfor an $82 million, five-yearcontract with the Blue Jays.The three-time All-Star, whowas born in Toronto andraised in Montreal, hit .290with 11 home runs and 67RBIs with Pittsburgh lastseason, helping the Piratesto a second straight playoffberth.

Here are a few morethings to watch heading intospring training:

HERE COME THECHAMPS

The last team to win con-secutive World Series wasthe New York Yankees from1998-2000. The next team totake a crack that feat is San

Francisco, which beatKansas City in seven gamesfor the title last fall.

The good news for the Gi-ants is they have plenty ofexperience when it comes todefending the title, havingalso won the World Series in2010 and 2012. But theyfailed to make the playoffsfollowing each of their previ-ous two championships, slip-ping to a 76-86 record in2013.

One spot to watch thisspring is third base, whereCasey McGehee replacesPablo Sandoval after theslugger signed a $95 million,five-year deal with Bostonover the winter. MadisonBumgarner returns afterthrowing a whopping 270 in-nings last year, and MattCain is back after he had sur-gery in August to removebone chips from his right el-bow.

There’s no argument aboutwho is No. 1.

The second-best team inthe nation behind Kentucky,however, is up for debate.

This week, Virginia is theNo. 2 in the Top 25. But Gon-zaga keeps winning outWest. Duke is led by a fresh-man who is probably the na-tion’s best big man. Wiscon-sin has experienced talent.And Villanova, coming in atNo. 6 this week, can be atough matchup with its abili-ty to shoot the 3-pointer.

It would have been an easi-er choice before Virginia lostguard Justin Anderson to afinger injury. As long as he’sout, the Cavaliers are in flux.

And that opens the door forWisconsin.

The Badgers aren’t themost explosive team, butthey can go on efficient runsthat turn close games intoblowouts. Beyond the obvi-ous stats, they protect theball (No. 21 nationally inturnover margin), rebound(No. 21 in rebounding mar-gin) and avoid mistakes(third in assist-to-turnovermargin).

If senior floor leaderTraevon Jackson, who is outas he recovers from a Janu-ary foot injury, can get all theway back, the tournament-tested Badgers have the lookof a team to trust.

Here’s a closer look at thecandidates in the race for No.2 behind the undefeatedWildcats:

___NO. 2 VIRGINIAThe Cavaliers (24-1) are

miserable to play against.They control tempo and playdefense that makes oppo-nents work for everything.The reigning Atlantic CoastConference champions alsohave experience and com-plete trust in coach TonyBennett’s formula.

But losing Anderson forseveral weeks makes thingstougher. He’s a physicalguard averaging about 13points and shooting an ACC-best 48 percent from 3-pointrange, and the Cavs wontheir first two games withouthim by a combined fivepoints before Monday’s 61-49win against Pittsburgh.

“They miss (Anderson), butthey’ve still got a really, real-ly good team that under-stands Tony’s system andthey play very well together,”said Wake Forest coach Dan-ny Manning, whose team lost61-60 to the Cavaliers onSaturday.

___NO. 3 GONZAGAGonzaga’s offense is hum-

ming. The Zags (26-1) en-tered the week shooting a na-tional-best 52.7 percent andleading the country in pointsper 100 possessions (127.7)in a show of efficiency, ac-cording to STATS. Kentuckytransfer Kyle Wiltjer gives

the Zags an inside-outsidescorer alongside a strongbackcourt. And their onlyloss came at now-No. 7 Ari-zona in overtime.

“We’re as balanced as prob-ably we’ve ever been uphere,” coach Mark Few afterlast week’s win against Loy-ola Marymount.

But Gonzaga remains anannual mystery in one re-spect: Trying to measure itsWest Coast Conference domi-nance against power-confer-ence teams. The Zags haveplayed just two ranked oppo-nents this year and haven’tsurvived the tournament’sopening weekend since 2009.

___NO. 4 DUKEFreshman big man Jahlil

Okafor has been as good asadvertised, averaging 18.2points and 9.3 reboundswhile shooting 67 percent.He’s also a solid passeragainst steady double teamsto create openings for QuinnCook, Tyus Jones and JustiseWinslow. Wins at both Vir-ginia and Wisconsin sayplenty about this team’s up-side.

“There’s not one key whenyou’re playing Duke,” NorthCarolina coach Roy Williamssaid. “You’ve got to play a to-tal game.”

But the Blue Devils (22-3)struggled defensively in loss-es to North Carolina Stateand Miami, particularlyagainst dribble penetration.Kicking Rasheed Sulaimonoff the team this month did-n’t help on that front, either,leaving the Blue Devils vul-nerable to foul trouble withonly eight scholarship play-ers — though all were Mc-Donald’s All-Americans inhigh school.

___NO. 5 WISCONSINPreseason All-American 7-

footer Frank Kaminsky canscore (17.3), rebound (8.3)and shoot from outside, whileSam Dekker and NigelHayes are strong frontcourtsidekicks on a veteran teamcoming off a Final Four run.

Wisconsin (23-2) is alsoone of the nation’s most effi-cient offensive teams, rank-ing second to Gonzaga inpoints per 100 possessions,according to STATS.

The Badgers miss Jacksonrunning the show for them,though sophomore BronsonKoenig has filled in well. Andthe defense isn’t exactly ofthe lockdown variety.

“I’d still like to see moreproduction from the eightguys that hit the floor,” Wis-consin coach Bo Ryan said.“And that includes thestarters, in some ways: re-bounding, defense. So I’ll al-ways find things.”

___NO. 6 VILLANOVAWhen Villanova (24-2) is

playing well — as during its

first-half domination ofGeorgetown — the Wildcatsare a scary matchup withtheir ability to spread thefloor. They also have tremen-dous balance with six guysaveraging at least 9.2 pointsled by Darrun Hilliard, whohit a game-winner at Butleron Saturday.

But they rely heavily onthe 3 (eight made per game),so what happens if the shotisn’t falling? And Villanovahas had a recent history oflate-season fades, last reach-ing the round of 16 in 2009.

“We’ve been good enoughto win,” Villanova coach JayWright said after thismonth’s win against Mar-quette, “but I really thinkwe’re a work in progress.”

Pitchers and catcher reportthis week to spring training

MORGANTOWN, W.Va.(AP) — Leg cramps weren’tgoing to keep Juwan Statenfrom getting West Virginia to20 wins for the first time infour seasons.

Staten scored 20 points,including a layup with 4 sec-onds left to lift No. 23 WestVirginia to a 62-61 victoryover No. 8 Kansas on Mon-day night.

It was a resume-buildingvictory for the Mountaineers(20-6, 8-5 Big 12), who hadlost three of their previousfour games and four straightagainst ranked opponents.They’re looking for their firstNCAA tournament bid inthree seasons.

“This was definitely amust-win game at home,”Staten said. “We had thecrowd behind us and wefought to the end.”

With the game on the line,coach Bob Huggins knewwho he wanted to give theball to: Staten, West Vir-ginia’s leading scorer and theBig 12 preseason player ofthe year.

Staten took an inboundspass and went the length ofthe court, made a spin movearound Frank Mason III andhit a left-handed layup overthe outstretched arms of twoother Kansas defenders.

It was Staten’s first fieldgoal over the final eight min-utes after he had gone to thebench with cramps.

The Jayhawks’ Perry Ellisthen caught a long pass butmissed a layup off the backof the rim with Staten drap-ing him just before the finalbuzzer.

“I might have rushed it alittle bit, but I should havemade it,” Ellis said.

Ellis finished with 19points, Mason had 18 andKelly Oubre Jr. added 14points for first-place Kansas(21-5, 10-3), whose lead wastrimmed to 1.5 games overNo. 14 Iowa State.

Consumer Reports names ToyotaCamry hybrid best new-car value inannual rankings

The Toyota Camry Hybrid is thebest overall value for the automo-tive dollar, according to ConsumerReports’ 2014 Annual New-CarValue Rankings.

Consumer Reports calculatedthat the Camry Hybrid earned thehighest value score of 2.01, whichindicates consumer dollars go abouttwice as far with this car than theydo with the average-value car. TheCamry Hybrid (tested price$29,000) is affordable, consideringthe impressive fuel economy, roomi-ness, comfort and all-around func-tionality it delivers. The CamryHybrid costs a very reasonable$0.52 per mile to operate and hasan Excellent predicted reliabilityscore.

“While the Camry Hybrid maynot be the most exciting car todrive, it is smooth and capable,with stone-cold reliability at anaffordable price,” said MarkRechtin, Consumer Reports auto-motive editor. “On the other hand,the worst values were a mix ofunderperformers, expensive, unreli-able German luxury sedans, andbig SUVs with voracious fuelappetites.”

Consumer Reports found thebest values were among midsized,mainstream sedans, compact carsand wagons. Rounding out the topfive best new-car values overallwere the Honda Accord (4-cyl.), Toy-ota Camry (4-cyl.), Subaru Legacy2.5i and the Subaru Forester 2.5i.

The lowest value in ConsumerReports’ New-Car Value ratings isthe Jeep Wrangler Unlimited.Known best for its off-road ability,the hard-riding, ponderous, uncom-fortable and unreliable Wranglerhas a Value Score of 0.07, and costs$0.77 per mile to operate. Joining itat the bottom of the rankings werethe Fiat 500L, Mercedes-BenzS500, BMW 750L and Toyota Taco-ma (V-6).

In creating its annual New-CarValues list, Consumer Reports ana-lyzed its road tests, predicted relia-bility and five-year owner-cost datato calculate a value score for morethan 200 different vehicles. Inshort, the better a car performs inConsumer Reports’ road tests andreliability ratings (based on resultsfrom Consumer Reports’ AnnualAuto Survey, which covers about1.1 million cars), and the less itcosts to own over time, the better

its value. The five-year owner costestimates factor in depreciation,fuel, insurance premiums, intereston financing, maintenance andrepairs and sales tax. Depreciationis by far the largest owner-cost fac-tor.

In the popular Small SUV cate-gory, the Subaru Forester 2.5i Pre-mium sits at the top with its Excel-lent reliability, Excellent Test Scoreof 86 out of 100 and far-above aver-age Value Score of 1.8. At the otherend of that category is the JeepCherokee Latitude (4-cyl.), its 0.47Value Score exemplified by its high-er operating cost, poor reliability,unimpressive Test Score and higherprice.

Here’s a look at the winners andlosers in each category(Best/Worst):

Urgent care centers are fornon-emergencies

DEAR DOCTOR K: Whatare urgent care centers? Arethey the same as emergencyrooms?

DEAR READER: They defi-nitely are not the same.Emergency rooms are for trueemergencies — even thoughmany people go to emergencyrooms for quite minor prob-lems. Typically, emergencyrooms are attached to hospi-tals, because patients withtrue emergencies usuallyneed to be hospitalized aftertheir treatment in the emer-gency room.

In contrast, urgent carecenters are for medical prob-lems that benefit from promptattention but are not life-threatening. Some hospitalsstaff urgent care centers aswell as emergency rooms.However, many urgent carecenters are stand-alone units,

located in storefronts or drug-stores. Urgent care centersare for common i
