The
50 daily www.delphosherald.com By NICOLE WINFIELD The Associated Press VATICAN CITY Pope Francis put his humility on display during his first day as pontiff today, stopping by his hotel to pick up his luggage and pay the bill himself in a decidedly different style for the papacy usually ensconced inside the frescoed halls of the Vatican. The break from the traditionminded previous pontificate was evident even in Francis wardrobe choices: He kept the simple pectoral cross of his days as bishop and eschewed the red cape that Benedict XVI wore when he was presented to the world for the first time in 2005 choosing instead the simple white cassock of the papacy. The former archbishop of Buenos Aires, Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio, began his first day as pope making an early morning visit in a simple Vatican car to a Roman basilica dedicated to the Virgin Mary and prayed before an icon of the Madonna. He had told a crowd of some 100,000 people packed in rainsoaked St. Peters Square just after his election that he intended to pray to the Madonna that she may watch over all of Rome. He also told cardinals he would call on retired Pope Benedict XVI, but the Vatican said the visit wouldnt take place for a few days. The main item on Francis agenda today was an inaugural afternoon Mass in the Sistine Chapel, where

Pope Francis humility: stops by hotel to get bags

cardinals on Wednesday elected him leader of the 1.2 billion-strong church in an unusually quick conclave. Francis might be expected to outline some of his priorities as pope in the homily. It was expected to be delivered in Italian, again another break from the traditionalminded Benedict whose first homily as pope was in Latin. Francis, the first Jesuit pope and first non-European since the Middle Ages, decided to call himself Francis after St. Francis of Assisi, the humble friar who dedicated his life to helping the poor. The new pope, known for his work with the poor in Buenos Aires slums, immediately charmed the crowd in St. Peters, which roared when his name was announced and roared again when he emerged on the loggia of the basilica with a simple and familiar: Brothers and sisters, good evening. Waving shyly, he said the cardinals job was to find a bishop of Rome. It seems as if my brother cardinals went to find him from the end of the earth, but here we are. Thank you for the welcome. The 76-year-old Bergoglio, said to have finished second when Pope Benedict XVI was elected in 2005, was chosen on just the fifth ballot to replace the first pontiff to resign in 600 years. Francis urged the crowd to pray for Benedict and immediately after his election spoke by phone with the retired pope, who has been liv-

A visit to Benedict would be significant because Benedicts resignation has raised concerns about potential power conflicts emerging from the peculiar situation of having a reigning pope and a retired one. Benedicts longtime aide, Monsignor Georg Gaenswein, accompanied Francis to the visit this morning at St. Mary Major, the ANSA news agency reported. In addition to being Benedicts secretary, Gaenswein is also the prefect of the papal household and will be arranging the new popes schedule. After the visit, Francis also stopped by a Vatican-owned resiSee FRANCIS, page 2A

Census: Record 1 in 3 US counties are now dying

WASHINGTON (AP) A record number of U.S. counties more than 1 in 3 are now dying off, hit by an aging population and weakened local economies that are spurring young adults to seek jobs and build families elsewhere. New 2012 census estimates released today highlight the population shifts as the U.S. encounters its most sluggish growth levels since the Great Depression. The findings also reflect the increasing economic importance of foreign-born residents as the U.S. ponders an overhaul of a major 1965 federal immigration law. Without new immigrants, many metropolitan areas such as New York, Chicago, Detroit, Pittsburgh and St. Louis would have posted flat or negative population growth in the last year. Immigrants are innovators, entrepreneurs, theyre making things happen. They create jobs, said Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder, a Republican, at an immigration conference in his state last week. Saying Michigan should be a top destination for legal immigrants to come and boost Detroit and other struggling areas, Snyder made a special appeal: Please come here. The growing attention on immigrants is coming mostly from areas of the Midwest and Northeast, which are seeing many of their residents leave after years of staying put during the downturn. With a slowly improving U.S. economy, young adults are now back on the move, departing traditional big cities to test the job market mostly in the South and West, which

Kenneth Johnson, University of New Hampshire had sustained the biggest hits in the housing bust. Census data show that 1,135 of the nations 3,143 counties are now experiencing natural decrease, where deaths exceed births. Thats up from roughly 880 U.S. counties, or 1 in 4, in 2009. Already apparent in Japan and many European nations, natural decrease is now increasingly evident in large swaths of the U.S., much of it rural. Despite increasing deaths, the U.S. population as a whole continues to grow, boosted by immigration from abroad and relatively higher births among the mostly younger migrants from Mexico, Latin America and Asia. These counties are in a pretty steep downward spiral, said Kenneth Johnson, a senior demographer and sociology professor at the See COUNTIES, page 2A

SEO Consortium keeping library busy, part-time employee hired

BY NANCY SPENCER nspencer@delphosherald.com DELPHOS Checking in and out materials and assisting patrons in finding what they need is the norm for a library worker. Cathy Hellman at the Delphos Public Library does the same but for patrons throughout Ohio. Since the local library joined the SEO Consortium, giving patrons access to millions of items free of charge from 87 libraries in Ohio, Hellman has been kept busy finding and packaging materials at a frantic pace. Library Director Kelly Rist reported to the board of trustees Wednesday that on a single day in February, 324 items were prepared for the interlibrary loan program. We average about 150 packages per day and our average pull is 200 items, Rist said.

The packages are picked up by a courier service for delivery to the respective library. The SEO (Serving Every Ohioan) Library Center, located in Caldwell, supports a consortium of 87 systems at 198 physical locations throughout 45 counties across Ohio using the OPLIN network. The power of this consortium resides in resource-sharing among consortia members, allowing small and rural library systems to have access to millions of items for their patrons. The center houses, maintains and supports a centralized shared-catalog database that includes over 6.9 million items with a patron database of 905,000-plus borrowers. Rist also asked and was granted permission See LIBRARY, page 2A

The levy was first approved by voters in 1978 and for the last five years raised approximately $49,000 a year. Advertising, paid for from donations and other outside funding, was the main topic. Trustee Jane Rutledge prepared several fliers with information about the levy for fellow trustees to choose. Sarah Brotherwood will be the newest part-time library employee. Following an executive session, trustees agreed to hire Brotherwood for 20 hours per week at $9.25 per hour plus a $3 per hour stipend after a 90-day probationary period. Brotherwood is a Delphos native and worked in the Ohio State University Book Repository and at I&K Distributing. Fiscal Officer Janet Bonifas voiced her concerns about upcoming change to health care, stating the board may need to consider adjusting the stipend to employees. The board said they would learn more about how the new health-care system will affect the librarys workforce.

dence in downtown Rome to pick up the luggage that he left behind before moving into the Vatican hotel for the conclave. He paid the bill to give a good example, according to the Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi. It was a remarkable show of simplicity and humility for a man who could easily have dispatched someone to do the job for him. He displayed that same sense immediately after his election, shunning the special sedan that was to transport him to the hotel so he could ride on the bus with other cardinals, and refusing even an elevated platform from which he would greet them, according to U.S. Cardinal Timothy Dolan. He met with us on our own level, Dolan said. Later, during dinner, the new pope addressed a few words to the cardinals: May God forgive you for what you have done, Francis told them, Lombardi said. Like many Latin American Catholics, Francis has a particular devotion to the Virgin Mary, and his visit to the basilica was a reflection of that. He prayed before a Byzantine icon of Mary and the infant Jesus, the Protectress of the Roman People. He had a great devotion to this icon of Mary and every time he comes from Argentina he visits this basilica, said one of the priests at the basilica, the Rev. Elio Montenero. We were surprised today because did not announce his visit.

Ohio man sues 2 officers over alleged beating

By AMANDA LEE MYERS The Associated Press CINCINNATI A southeastern Ohio man alleges two police officers beat him and delayed taking him to a hospital after he complained of chest pains and fears he was having a heart attack following an unwarranted traffic stop two years ago, according to a federal lawsuit. In the lawsuit filed in federal court in Cincinnati on Tuesday, Dennis Lehman of Athens accuses Nelsonville police Officers Duane Covert and Alex Brown of violating his civil rights and using excessive force. The lawsuit seeks $250,000. Covert said Wednesday that he doesnt remember the April 2011 incident but that, Im not an abusive officer. He declined to comment further. Browns number was unlisted, and a message left for him and Nelsonville police Chief Jason Wallace was not immediately returned Wednesday. The lawsuit said that Brown pulled Lehman over on the afternoon of April 4, 2011, in a Nelsonville neighborhood, ordered him out of his truck and told him he was going to test his sobriety. Lehman has a disease known as familial mitochondrial degeneration, which causes lack of coordination and balance, and gives him droopy eyes, but he was not driving drunk, according to the lawsuit. According to the lawsuit, Lehman asked Brown if he could move his truck further off the road, and when Brown did not respond, Lehman turned and walked toward the truck. Lehman, 52, alleges Brown NELSONVILLE (AP) An Ohio police officer caught on video aggressively grabbing a seated and unarmed 15-year-old boy by the face and pushing him into a desk has been indicted on charges of kidnapping, assault and interfering with civil rights.

color is one of the plant kingdoms chief clues that pollen or nectar is available. Master gardener Marie Iannotti, an About.com gardening guide, reports that blue, purple, violet, white and yellow flowers are particularly attractive to bees. She adds that different shapes also attract different types of pollinators, and that getting as much floral diversity of any kind going is a sure way to maximize pollination. Another way to attract pollinators is to provide nest sites for beessee how on the xerces.org website. The group also suggests cutting out pesticides, as these harsh chemicals reduce the available nectar and pollen sources in gardens while poisoning the very insects that make growing plants possible. Those looking to go whole hog into pollinator gardening might consider investing $30 in Xerces Societys recently published book, Attracting Native Pollinators: Protecting North Americas Bees and Butterflies, which provides a good deal of detailed information about pollinators and the plants they love. Gardeners who have already encouraged pollinators can join upwards of 1,000 others who have signed onto Xerces Pollinator Protection Pledge. And the icing on the cake is a Pollinator Habitat sign from Xerces stuck firmly in the ground between two flowering native plants so passersby can learn about the importance of pollinators and making them feel welcome.

The measure passed 66-29 Wednesday afternoon and now goes to the Senate. A similar House-passed measure failed to gain traction in the Ohio Senate last session. The measure imposes operating restrictions, registration requirements and background checks on the more than 800 operations around the state. State Rep. Matt Huffman of Lima told colleagues during the floor debate that the bill would clarify for law enforcement whats legal gambling and illegal gambling. Opponents say cafes allow illegal gambling. Backers say they are legal and help the economy. Patrons buy cards for phone and Internet time with chances to play computer games that operate like slot machines with cash prizes.

Ex-caretaker pleads guilty to $1.5M theft

ZANESVILLE (AP) A former caretaker of a mansion owned by the Longaberger Co.s CEO has pleaded guilty to stealing $1.5 million from his former employer. The Muskingum County prosecutor said Wednesday that 53-year-old Douglas Thompson, of Pataskala, pleaded guilty this week in Zanesville to one count of aggravated theft for stealing from Tami Longaberger, CEO of the Newark-based basketmaking company. Prosecutor Mike Haddox says the thefts occurred between November 2004 and February 2011. Haddox says Thompson had cash, checks and Longabergers credit card to pay for estate operations and used the estate money to pay his credit card bills and other personal items, including computers and home improvements. Haddox says Thompson could be sentenced to up to eight years in prison.

Ohio officer indicted in incident caught on camera

jury in southwestern Ohio returned the three-count indictment against Nelsonville police Officer Randy Secoy Monday. The kidnapping charge is a felony while the assault and civil rights charges are listed as misdemeanors. Secoys number is unlisted and Nelsonville police Chief

then cuffed and tackled him and, after Covert arrived, the two officers began stomping and kicking him for two or three minutes as he lie facedown, begging them to stop and telling them he was having chest pains. Lehman complained of chest pain and feared he was having a heart attack, but the officers did not take him to the hospital until after booking him into jail on charges of driving drunk and resisting arrest, according to the lawsuit. Although Lehman did not have a heart attack, he ended up being diagnosed with oxygen deprivation to the heart, ruptured cervical discs, back injuries, and wounds on his wrists and forearms from handcuffs, according to the lawsuit. He has no lasting effects from those injuries. The lawsuit also says that Lehmans blood was tested at the hospital, which proved he was not on drugs or alcohol. (The officers) intentionally, wantonly, and maliciously used excessive force on Mr. Lehman and created a substantial risk of death or serious bodily harm, the lawsuit said. Nothing Mr. Lehman did or said justified any use of force against him. Nelsonville police pursued the drunken driving and resisting arrest charges, but records in Athens Municipal Court show the first charge was dropped, and Lehman pleaded guilty to a lesser misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct and paid a $150 fine. Lehmans phone number did not accept messages and his Athens attorney, Sky Pettey, declined to comment.

E - The Environmental Magazine Dear EarthTalk: Id like to have a garden that encourages bees and butterflies. Whats the best approach? Robert Miller, Bakersfield, CA Attracting bees and butterflies to a garden is a noble pursuit indeed, given that we all depend on these species and others (beetles, wasps, flies, hummingbirds, etc.) to pollinate the plants that provide us with so much of our food, shelter and other necessities of life. In fact, increased awareness of the essential role pollinators play in ecosystem maintenance along with news about rapid declines in bee populationshave led to a proliferation of backyard pollinator gardens across the U.S. and beyond. Pollinators require two essential components in their habitat: somewhere to nest and flowers from which to gather nectar and pollen, reports the Xerces Society, a Massachusettsbased non-profit that protects wildlife through the conservation of invertebrates and their habitat. Native plants are undoubtedly the best source of food for pollinators, because plants and their pollinators have coevolved. But, Xerces adds, many varieties of garden plants can attract pollinators. Plant lists customized for different regions of the U.S. can be found on the groups website. Any garden, whether a window box on a balcony or a multi-acre backyard, can be made friendlier to pollinators. Xerces recommends providing a range of native flowering plants that bloom throughout the growing season to provide food and nesting for bees, butterflies and other pollinators. Xerces also says that clustering flowering plants together in patches is preferable to spacing individual plants apart. Creating foraging habitat not only helps the bees, butterflies and flies that pollinate these plants, but also results in beautiful, appealing landscapes. Along these lines, gardeners should plant a variety of colors in a pollinator garden, as Jason Wallace did not return calls and emails for comment Wednesday. The charges against Secoy stem from an incident on March 6 after the teen was arrested on suspicion of fighting with another teen at a restaurant. Secoy is set to appear in court on April 3.

The 4 Rs of phosphorus Elida FFA holds annual banquet

The following article was written by Ed Lentz, Hancock County Extension Educator and edited by Jim Hoorman. PUTNAM COUNTY Waterways and lakes have always been important resources for northwestern Ohio. About 11 million people in the USA and Canada use Lake Erie water as their primary drinking source so clean water is a concern. Evidence for this concern was the large algae bloom that occurred in Lake Erie in 2011 but not in 2012. Algae blooms are a concern since some species are toxic to people and they interfere with recreational activities. In smaller bodies of water the algae may deplete oxygen levels as they decay, which may result in fish kills. Algae blooms generally occur in the presence of excess nutrients, especially phosphorus. Phosphorus (P) sources may originate from industrial, municipal, and agricultural systems. In agriculture, P is required to produce high yielding crops. Phosphorus not used by the crop is generally tied up or trapped by the soil. This tie up generally minimized P loss unless soil leaves the field by water or wind erosion. Farmers have started using reduced tillage and/or cover crops to reduce soil erosion. However, P now remains on or near the surface after application which may result in losses with heavy rain events. About 90 percent of most P runoff occurs during 10 percent of the most intense LIMA (AP) Ohio farmers and agriculture leaders from the state sent a clear message to Congress on their annual lobbying trip to Washington: They want to see a farm bill approved soon. About 100 Ohio Farm Bureau members took part in the meetings last week with members of Ohios delegation that included a session with U.S. House Speaker John Boehner, who told the group that he wants the House to get a farm bill done this year. rainfall events and about 80 percent of the P comes from only 20 percent of the land (Sharpley, 2013). In 2011, heavy spring rains delayed planting until early June and may have contributed to the algae problems. Farmers care about our soils and environment, and P fertilizer is an expensive input; so it costs money when fertilizer leaves a field. To manage their nutrient program and to be good environmental stewards, farmers follow what is called the 4R program the right rate, right time, right place and the right source The right rate is determined by testing soils for P levels and matching these levels to crop needs. Ohio State University research and the Tri-state Fertility Guide instruct farmers and fertilizer dealers how to apply soil P based on the needs of a particular crop. Farmers use the right time by avoiding application when the risk for loss is the greatest. Application times that pose the greatest risk is on frozen or snow-covered ground and prior to heavy rain events, but it may be difficult to predict rain events. New technology has allowed farmers to strategically place fertilizer. Global positioning systems have allowed farmers to grid and precisely apply P only in the areas of the field that need fertilizer. Strip tillage and other systems have allowed them to diminish erosion losses and place fertilizer in bands near growing roots. The plant food industry has worked closely Area media reports Boehner wouldnt give any hints about what would be included in the legislation that sets policy for farm subsidies, rural development and food stamps. Food stamps, now called the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, make up roughly 80 percent of the legislations cost. The really big fight will be over how big of changes were going to make on the SNAP program, said Boehner, a Republican from with farmers to provide products that are effective for providing P for the crop. As new technologies emerge, farmers will have more sources available that reduce the risks of nutrients leaving the field. The 4R program has been very effective in keeping nutrients in the field. However, weather greatly affects crop production and water quality. Our best management practices may not be enough in years of unusual weather. Many accuse agriculture as the cause of the Lake Erie algae blooms in 2011. It probably played a part along with the other potential sources of P entering the watershed. However, the general public needs to be reminded in 2011; this part of Ohio set a new record for the most rainfall in a given year with a large number of storms with heavy rainfall. Notice that in 2012 and other years without the large number of storms and heavy rains, algae blooms were not an issue. Farmers and the agricultural industry care about the waterways and lakes of northwestern Ohio and realize that they need more information. Extensive research is being funded to find efficient ways to minimize potential loss of nutrients from fields. Some policy makers still believe the solution to the 2011 algae blooms is to establish more regulations on farmers. It might be prudent to see the results of P research being conducted by Ohio State University and various conservation and environmental groups before adding regulations.

southwestern Ohio. Last year, the Senate and the House Agriculture Committee passed farm bills, but the legislation died at the end of last years congressional session after Republican House leadership said they did not have the votes to pass it. The farm law expired in September and was extended until September 2013. Farmers are eager for it to move to ahead so they can have an idea what safety net needs such as crop insurance will be included. We need to save whatever we can of the risk management through crop insurance, said Rick Tangeman, president of the Auglaize County Farm Bureau. Ohio Farm Bureau spokesman Joe Cornely said farmers need to be able to plan ahead and the lack of a farm bill is getting in the way of that. They wont invest until they know the rules of the game, he said. Farmers are smart people. They can figure out how to operate within the rules. U.S. Rep. Bob Latta, a Republican who represents northwestern Ohio, said Congress must now start over on the new farm bill. Thats not real good news, but thats where its at, he told the group. Among other topics brought up during the meetings were water quality regulations and agricultural guest worker program thats part of the debate over immigration reform, Migrant workers are important to farming across the nation, said Troy Ernest, Allen County Farm Bureau president. We need to protect our borders, but we also need a legal method to bring seasonal workers in and out of our state.

Livestock Quality Assurance for Junior Fair exhibitors

By Jim Lopshire Extension Educator Paulding County American consumers have become more health conscious about the food they eat. To meet consumer needs and concerns, livestock quality assurance programs are being implemented. These programs are designed to educate producers in management and production techniques that improve food quality and safety, encourage high industry standards and boost consumer confidence. The youth quality assurance program introduces youth to the responsibilities associated with food animal production and teaches skills necessary to produce a safe and wholesome food. Interactive lessons on animal management techniques and practice in ethical decisionmaking related to food animal production are included. Program results indicate participants gain skills in animal management techniques and the youths opinions about consumer expectations have been positively influenced. Furthermore, the program provides a successful model for including character education with subject matter education. When young producers begin a project where the final product is food, they also assume a legal and moral obligation to produce a quality, wholesome, and safe product for consumers. It is critical that young producers are consciously aware of these responsibilities and understand their implications. Only with such an understanding will they adopt practices and procedures that allow them to fulfill their obligations to consumers. Because of a desire to instill this understanding in youth, quality assurance education has become a major focus for our fair livestock exhibitors. As youth learn to implement quality assurance practices, they will develop an awareness and skills that will affect their current projects. In addition, they will develop an appreciation for food safety and responsibility that will form the foundation for their future contributions as producers and consumers. To educate our youth on the importance, value and promotion of a wholesome food product, two Paulding County Quality Assurance Programs have been scheduled. The first program is scheduled for 6-8 p.m. on March 21 and a second program will be held from 9-11 a.m. on March 2. Both programs will be held in the Extension building. Youth and their parent or guardian must attend a Quality Assurance program before they can exhibit their animal in a junior livestock show sponsored by the county agricultural society. Remember, we are producing a product that demands quality and is safe for consumption.

Legion honors SPORTS Americanism, Buckeye State TECHNOLOGY winners

BY STEPHANIE GROVES sgroves@delphosherald.com DELPHOS The Delphos American Legion Post 268 hosted the 77th Annual Past Commanders and Presidents Banquet on Saturday night, where past leaders and award winners were recognized. Keith Hall presented Americanism Test winners St. Johns High School seniors Tricia Warnecke and Elizabeth Winhover with their awards. More than 65,000 students in the state took the Americanism government test and 16 were chosen to give an 8-10 minute oratorical speech. Both Warnecke and Winhover won a trip to Washington, D.C., where they visited many of the historical and revered sites. We loved the Tomb Sentinels, Warnecke said excitedly. We also got into the White House. Warnecke explained that the trip was a hands-on government experience where she ran for governor but did not win the caucus. During the remainder of her time on the hill, she was enlisted to work for the governor and helped to raise taxes. I learned more in six days there [in Washington] than all my time in school, Warnecke stated. Auxiliary President Sharon Miller introduced Buckeye Boys and Girls State delegates, including St. Johns senior Jessica Recker and Jefferson senior Wes Roby, and presented them with their awards. Its a once-in-a-lifetime experience where lasting friendships are created, Miller announced. Roby detailed his trip to Bowling Green where he ran for county sheriff, which was a heated election. During his political campaign, he made up catch slogans and was appointed to police chief at Bowling Green Police Station. I worked on the school board and helped balance the budget, Roby explained. At Mount Union University, I worked for the Treasurer, Recker detailed. I learned a lot about taxation and working on a budget. Guest speaker, Allen County Prosecutor Juergen Waldick, spoke during the banquet and presented an informative look at jury selection process and the vital importance of civic duty.

KALIDA Bailey Dangler and Kayla Siefker have played a lot of volleyball together over the years and shared a lot in common. Perhaps it was no real coincidence that the Kalida LadyCat senior duo would decide to continue on in their careers at the same college. Both signed their national letter-of-intent Wednesday afternoon to do just that, electing to attend Owens Tech Community College and play volleyball for head

man Sonny Lewis and assistant coach Denny Caldwell. I thought first of going to Owens but Bailey committed first, Siefker explained. I had other schools I thought about, especially Ashland and Muskingum, Its close to home for my family to come and watch and yet far enough away; its just right. Dangler concurred. When I visited, I just felt right at home right away. Everything about it: the financial, the academic, the location; was a good fit for me, she explained. They have a good program in exercise sci-

ence, my intended major, and it was the only school I really wanted to go to. The Express play in the All-Ohio Community College Conference Siefker, an intended mathematics and secondary education major, knew she wanted to play volleyball at the next level. I wanted to do this since I was little, she added. I contacted them last summer. I played outside/middle/right-side hitter in high school but as of now, Im not sure where Ill be playing. Ill worry about that when

I get there. This is a 2-year commitment get my associates degree first and then see where I go from there. Dangler did a little bit of everything in high school: outside/middle/right-side hitter and setter. More than likely, I imagine Ill end up as a setter at college. Like Kayla, that is to be determined, Dangler added. It was a perk to have Kayla interested in the same college and it will be nice to play alongside her for at least the next two years. When I get my degree, well see what happens then.

Ottoville coach Dave Kleman figures the scouting report for the Lady Greens Division IV State semifinal opponent Friday Fort Loramie is pretty simple: just watch his own team. The unbeaten (27-0) and AP poll-winning Lady Green battle the Lady Redskins (253; No. 7) in what Kleman views as almost a mirrorimage of his own unit. They do many of the same things as we do: they like to press with any number of looks; they have a good post game; they have good guards; they run a lot of the same stuff as we do, he

It is so hard to believe we are in the final throes of the high school basketball season for 2012-13. Every time we pass the New Year, I always kiddingly tell my colleagues up here in the newsroom that we only have 11-plus months until Christmas and they get a kick out of that theyd like to kick me! Then we look up and its 9-plus months! My, does time fly! Congrats on Ottoville getting to the Division IV Final Four in girls basketball and on Dave Kleman winning his 400th game as the coach of the program. Win or lose, these young ladies and this coaching staff have done very well for themselves. The one thing I will guarantee about their game: the Lady Green will have far more fans there than nearly everyone else. Putnam County in particular and this area in general support the locals; fierce competitors become fast friends due to AAU, club ball, camps, work, etc. The comings and goings in the NFL now that free agency has begun has had some surprises. I really didnt think Wes Welker would leave Tom Brady and the Patriots, for example, to be replaced by Danny Amendola. Good luck with that. Lets put it this

Basketball season coming to a close

way: I dont think Mr. Tom Brady is pleased. He loses a guy who has caught 240 passes the last two years for a guy that has missed over half the games the last two years and been injury-plagued in his first five years for basically the same amount of money. Yes, he is 5 years younger and a bit faster but not nearly as proven and reliable. At 35, do you think Brady is thinking long-term? Now, Welker will ONLY have Peyton Manning throwing to him. I didnt think that Anquan Boldin would be traded by the Super Bowl champion Ravens to San Francisco and have either released or may lose some other guys, like Ed Reed. Joe Flacco got his; well see what he has to work with now when the smoke clears. That is one reason why SB champions dont repeat. That great contract he signed a couple of weeks ago may end up being an albatross. I never really had any love for the Houston Astrodome, the supposed Eighth Wonder of the World when it opened in 1965 I always thought that was Andre (Rene Roussimoff) The Giant of World Wrestling Federation fame (dont ask me about all the other names he wrestled under)! I personally believed then and still

explained. They might be deeper off the bench than we are but my thinking is you can only play five at a time. We are bigger in the post they go 5-11 and 5-10 versus our 6-2 and 6-1 but their guards are bigger. Their pressure package forces you to be prepared for a lot: what form it takes, where they pick you up, how hard it is; whatever they feel is necessary at a given time to be successful. That is our game plan, too. You have to be ready for whatever they throw at you because they, like us, try to create offense off their defense. The Big Green did play the Redskins three seasons ago in the Regional semis

also unbeaten at 23-0 but lost in that one 42-26. Abby Siefker (6-2) was the starting center on that crew of Lady Green as a freshman. She is joined in this years starting five by seniors Rachel Beining (6-1), Nicole Vorst (5-6) and Rachel Turnwald (5-6) and junior Taylor Mangas (5-10). The main bench includes juniors Monica Sarka (5-7) and Kendra Eickholt (5-8) and sophomores Annie Lindeman (6-0) and Haley Landwehr (5-4). I dont think any of their girls played on that team as freshmen but they have matured through the years. Their best player this year Darrion Rose, Kleman

added. At this stage, you really have to prevent easy baskets, so you cant have the turnovers that lead to those easy baskets. You have to play good defense and rebound dont give up second shots and hope you can get enough offense off your defense. Emotions are high at this stage. You have to use that energy and yet not let it get away. You cant get outside of yourself and try to do too much. Basically you have to harness and control that energy and focus it in the right way. Tip off Friday is at 3 p.m. in Value City Arena inside the Jerome Schottenstein Center.

believe now that football and baseball are meant to be played in the sunshine on the grass in the wind and rain and snow and well, you get the picture and not on a concrete carpet. Well, maybe not as steadfastly as I once did but the general belief is still there. Still, the item I am referring to what are they going to end up doing with the vacant (outside of the rat families that call the structure home!) wonder caused me to recollect the good old days of my youth. Basically, it now is simply either a nuisance or a rat-trap according to the story, just to keep it standing vacant costs a couple of million dollars a year; it would cost $64 million to tear it down and make it a plaza unless they can come up with $300 million-plus to pay it off and renovate it. It is next to Reliant Stadium the newer and larger site that is home to the Houston Texans; that is, until this site becomes obsolete in the next two years or so! Such is life!

The Associated Press PHILADELPHIA LeBron James scored 27 points and the Miami Heat became the fourth team to win at least 20 consecutive games in a season, rallying to beat the Philadelphia 76ers 98-94 on Wednesday night. Dwyane Wade added 21 as the Heat needed big baskets over the final 2 minutes to top the Sixers for the milestone win. Only three teams have won at least 20 consecutive games in the same season: the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers (33), the 200708 Houston Rockets (22) and the 1970-71 Milwaukee Bucks (20). The Washington Capitols won 20 straight, spanning the end of 1947-48 season and the start of 1948-49 campaign. ATLANTA The Lakers push for the playoffs might be without Kobe Bryant for a while. The Los Angeles star severely sprained his left ankle Wednesday night after missing a game-tying shot

in the closing seconds of a loss to the Atlanta Hawks. Lakers spokesman John Black said Bryant is out indefinitely, just as a team that underachieved much of the season is playing its best basketball. The 96-92 loss snapped a 4-game winning streak and was just Los Angeles third loss in the last 12 games. DENVER Carmelo Anthony will cut his trip short and return to New York to have his balky right knee examined. The New York Knicks forward score nine points before leaving in the third quarter of a 117-94 loss to Denver on Wednesday night in his first game back in town since being traded two years ago. Anthony said his knee started tightening up and that he felt like he didnt have no pop, no power. He will have the knee drained but has no timetable for a return. The Knicks play in Portland today.

SPORTS BRIEFS

cy frenzy was highlighted by Wes Welker grabbing a 2-year deal with the Denver Broncos. He gives Peyton Manning one of the steadiest targets the 4-time league MVP ever has had. Welker was one Tom Bradys favorite targets and considered the best slot receiver in the league. He caught 118 passes for 1,354 yards and six TDs last season. Also getting new deals were Reggie Bush in Detroit, Dashon Goldson in Tampa Bay and even Ray Lewis with ESPN. Bush agreed to a 4-year deal and could fill a huge hole at running back. The Lions havent been able to count on 2010 first-round draft pick Jahvid Best, whose career is in doubt because of concussion issues. All-Pro safety Goldson gets a 5-year contract worth $41.25 million. He receives $8.25 million per year and $22 million in guaranteed money. He spent the past two seasons on 1-year contracts with the 49ers, including last year with the franchise tag for $6.2 million.

Free agent defensive back Charles Woodson had a meeting with the NFC champion Niners in the Bay Area on Wednesday, according to his agent, Carl Poston. Also Wednesday, former Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Glenn Dorsey signed a 2-year contract after meeting with the Niners. Lewis, who announced in early January that he was ending his 17-year career, joined ESPN as a studio analyst an intense one, no doubt. BASEBALL TAMPA, Fla. New York Yankees captain Derek Jeter briskly cut across the diamond, heading to a familiar spot for the first pitch. Clearly, he was eager to get going. The 38-year-old shortstop played the field for the first time since breaking his left ankle in the AL championship opener last October. It was totally routine he easily turned a grounder into a forceout, the only play he got in four innings of a 6-2 win over Philadelphia.

Recipes abound for using up extra bananas

Dear Sara: Any ideas for what to do with five frozen bananas? I usually do banana muffins, but Im kind of sick of them. -- Sarah, Massachusetts Dear Sarah: Id make banana bread, cake, cookies, pancakes or smoothies. You can make a mock ice cream, too. Simply cut a frozen banana into four sections and blend with a splash of milk in your food processor until creamy. Then enjoy a frozen treat thats lower in fat than ice cream, but doesnt sacrifice taste. Heres a banana bread recipe with a wonderful streusel topping: Banana Bread 3/4 cup butter, softened 1 8-ounce package cream cheese 2 cups sugar 2 large eggs 3 cups flour 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1-1/2 cups mashed bananas 1 cup chopped pecans, toasted 1/2 teaspoon vanilla Streusel: 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 1/2 cup toasted pecans, chopped 1 tablespoon flour 1 tablespoon melted butter 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon Preheat oven t 350 degrees F. Grease and flour two 8-by-4 loaf pans. Using a mixer, beat butter and cream cheese together until creamy. Gradually, add sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time and beat until blended. Gradually add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt to butter mixture. Beat at low speed until just blended. Stir in bananas, pecans and vanilla. Spoon batter into pans. For streusel: Stir together brown sugar, toasted pecans, flour, melted butter and cinnamon. Sprinkle mixture evenly over batter in pans. Bake for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pans and cool 30 more minutes before slicing. -- Nancy, Virginia Dear Sara: We have quite a bit of leftover fried chicken from dinner. Any ideas what to make with it? -B.N, Midwest Dear B.N.: I eat it cold the following day. It can be used in wraps or chopped for chicken salad sandwiches. Add some to a salad, casserole or soup. Mix shredded chicken with barbecue sauce for sandwiches, use it as a pizza topping or to make chicken fettuccine Alfredo, fried rice, quesadillas, tacos or spaghetti. Dear Sara: My son works at a pizza parlor and he brought me 12 containers of dough. Each one makes a 14-inch pizza. I wasnt sure about freezing them, but went ahead and did it anyway. My question is, can you use pizza dough to make potpies and regular pies? -- F.N., Ohio Dear F.N.: Freezing the dough is OK, but no, pizza dough isnt used to make potpies or regular pies.

You can make bread sticks, flat bread, calzones, hot pretzels, dinner rolls, cinnamon rolls or cinnamon sticks. Pizza bites are tasty, too. Simply roll out the dough, cut it into small squares and place a piece of mozzarella cheese (you can cut string cheese into small pieces) and pepperoni in the center of each dough square. Roll the squares into balls, drizzle olive oil and sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese on the top and bake at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes. Serve with pizza sauce. Spaghetti or marinara sauce works well, too. (Sara Noel is the owner of Frugal Village (www.frugalvillage.com), a website that offers practical, moneysaving strategies for everyday living.

Senate Democrats unveil budget blueprint

By ANDREW TAYLOR The Associated Press WASHINGTON Senate Democrats unveiled a largely stand-pat budget Wednesday that calls for $1 trillion in new tax revenues over the coming decade but actually increases spending, while protecting the partys domestic policy priorities and adding $4 trillion more to the national debt than a slashing alternative from House Republicans. The plan by Budget Committee Chairwoman Patty Murray, D-Wash., blends about $1 trillion in modest cuts to health care providers, the Pentagon, domestic agencies and interest payments on the debt with an equal amount in new revenue claimed by closing tax breaks. But because Democrats want to restore $1.2 trillion in automatic spending cuts over the same period cuts imposed by Washingtons failure to strike a broader budget pact Murrays blueprint increases spending slightly when compared with current policies. On the other side of Capitol Hill, House Budget Committee Republicans barreled ahead with an entirely opposite approach that whacks spending by $4.6 trillion over the coming decade, promises sweeping cuts to Medicaid and domestic agencies while setting a path to balancing the governments books within 10 years. The House panel approved the plan, by Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., late Wednesday by a 22-17 party-line vote. Murrays plan was set to be approved by the Democratic-led Senate panel on Thursday. Both measures face floor debates next week. Even as Democrats controlling the Senate and the strongly conservative House moved in divergent directions, President Barack Obama again traveled to the Capitol to open a dialogue with lawmakers. Wednesdays meeting was with House Republicans, who welcomed the gesture even as they noted that deep divisions remain. Weve got a big difference between us, said Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore. He supports higher tax revenues. But Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla., said Obama told Republicans that he also supports a revised inflation adjustment called chained CPI that would curb cost-of-living increases in Social Security benefits and increase tax revenue through slower indexing of income tax brackets. He also supports means testing for Medicare benefits that would require higher-income beneficiaries to pay more for their health care. Cole said Obama told them everyone needs to honestly confront the political barriers to reining in popular benefit programs like Medicare and Social Security. He said, Your people dont want entitlement reform either. Go home and poll them. The White House praised the Senate plan. The Senate Democratic budget is a con-

Panel criticizes military on sexual assault cases

BY DONNA CASSATA and RICHARD LARDNER The Associated Press WASHINGTON In a stinging rebuke of the militarys efforts to curb sexual assault, members of a Senate panel hammered Defense Department officials on Wednesday for making too little progress in combating the crimes and failing to improve a military justice system that victims described as slow and uncaring. During a two-part hearing, the panel heard harrowing testimony from several victims, who said military justice is broken and pushed for Congress to take action to stem the rape, sexual assault and sexual harassment that they said are pervasive in all the service branches. Pentagon officials said they are taking the problem seriously. Sexual assault in the military is not only an abhorrent crime that does enormous harm to the victim, but it is also a virulent attack on the discipline and good order on which military cohesion depends, said Robert Taylor, the Pentagons acting general counsel. The Air Force has zero tolerance for this offense, added Lt. Gen. Richard Harding, the judge advocate general of the Air Force. But lawmakers pointed to a decision by Air Force Lt. Gen. Craig Franklin to reverse a guilty verdict in a sexual assault case as evidence of how the military fails the victims who come forward to report the crimes. Under military law, a commander who convenes a court martial is known as the convening authority and has the sole discretion to reduce or set aside guilty verdicts and sentences or to reverse a jurys verdict. Her voice rising, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., said all the promises of zero tolerance from the witnesses amount to nothing if a convening authority is the only individual who can decide whether to overturn a case. Gillibrand is the chairwoman of the Senate Armed Services Personnel Subcommittee. I appreciate the work youre doing, but its not enough, she told the military officers arrayed at a long witness table. Gillibrand then directed her frustration at Harding, demanding to know whether justice was done when Franklin overturned a military jurys conviction. Harding responded that Franklin reviewed the facts and made an independent decision with integrity. Gillibrand then asked whether justice was served when the five senior officers who made up the jury rendered a guilty verdict. Harding said he could not say. Rebekah Havrilla, a former Army sergeant, told the panel that she encountered a broken military criminal justice sys-

Poll finds attitude shift among working moms

BY JENNIFER C. KERR The Associated Press WASHINGTON Working mothers increasingly want full-time jobs, and tough economic times might be a big reason, according to a national survey. In the Pew Research Center study being released today, researchers saw a big spike in the share of working mothers who said theyd prefer to work full time; 37 percent said that was their ideal, up from 21 percent in 2007. The poll comes amid a national debate on women in the workplace ignited by top Facebook executive Sheryl Sandberg, who writes in a new book about the need for women to be more professionally aggressive. In Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead, Sandberg argues that women have not made true progress in the workplace over the past decade and that they need to raise their hands more and lean in if they want to land more senior positions in corporate America. The shift toward full-time work in the Pew poll, however, coincides with the recession and may have less to do with career ambitions than with financial realities. Women arent necessarily evolving toward some belief or comfort level with work, says study co-author Kim Parker, an associate director at the center. They are also reacting to outside forces and in this case, it is the economy. Among women who said their financial situations arent sufficient to meet basic expenses, about half said working full time was best for them. Of the women who said they live comfortably, only 31 percent said full time was their best situation. Melody Armstrong, 34, of Hampton, N.H., works full time and says she wouldnt have it any other way. It works better for my family, and for our finances, Armstrong said in an interview. It helps pay the bills and we can enjoy the lifestyle we have. We need to have two incomes. Armstrong and her husband have six children between them, a blended family with one child off to college and a baby at home. She works for Double Black Imaging, a Colorado-based company that sells medical monitors. Armstrong says her company gives her the flexibility she

tem after she was raped by another service member while serving in Afghanistan. Havrilla described suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and described how her case was eventually closed after senior commanders decided not to pursue charges. What we need is a military with a fair and impartial criminal justice system, one that is run by professional and legal experts, not unit commanders, Havrilla said. Brigette McCoy, a former Army specialist and a Persian Gulf war veteran, said she was raped when she was 18 and at her first duty station. But she did not report it. Three years later, she reported being sexually harassed and asked for an apology and to be removed from working directly with the offender. They did remove me from his team and his formal apology consisted of him driving by me on base and saying sorry out of his open car door window, McCoy told the subcommittee. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has ordered a review of Franklins decision to reverse the sexual assault conviction against Lt. Col. James Wilkerson, a former inspector general at Aviano Air Base in Italy. But Hagel has told members of Congress that neither he nor the Air Force secretary is empowered to overrule Franklin, who is the commander of the 3rd Air Force at Ramstein Air Base in Germany.

Cops kill suspect in deadly NY shooting rampage

BY MICHAEL HILL and JOHN KEKIS The Associated Press

crete plan that will grow our economy and shrink our deficits in a balanced way, consistent with the presidents belief that our economy grows best from the middle out, not the top down, White House press secretary Jay Carney said in a statement late Wednesday. The debate in the Senate Budget Committee was the first time since 2009 that Democrats in charge of the Senate have advanced a budget blueprint, which opened to predictably poor reviews from the panels Republicans, who said its heavy on tax increases and light on cuts to rapidly growing benefit and safety net programs. Is it really possible that after four years, the majority has failed to identify any reforms? That all we have is just a tax-and-spend budget that makes no alteration to our dangerous debt course? said the top Budget Committee Republican, Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama. Does the majority believe the government is perfect and requires no reform?

Brominated vegetable oil in Gatorade?

By GARANCE BURKE The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO When PepsiCo Inc. announced it would stop putting an obscure vegetable oil in its Gatorade right before the Super Bowl, one of the loudest cheers came from a high school student who had made it her mission to get rid of the ingredient. I was like, Whoa, said Sarah Kavanagh, a 16-yearold from Hattiesburg, Miss., who wanted to know how an oil that contains a chemical also found in flame retardants got into her favorite sports drink. After she posted a petition on Change.org asking Pepsi to remove it, more than 200,000 people signed. I just wanted to make sure it was something that I could drink, said the teen. From oil in Gatorade to the amount of caffeine and other stimulants in energy drinks and the so-called pink slime found in beef, previously unnoticed ingredients are coming under scrutiny as health-conscious consumers demand more information about what they eat and drink, and sometimes go public via social networking and the Internet. So how does some of this stuff get into our food? The U.S. Food and Drug Administration reviews and approves most additives to food or drinks before they hit the marketplace. But others can bypass that process if they are deemed generally recognized as safe by the government or food companies and the experts they hire. Take the story of Gatorade. Developed in 1965 at the University of Florida to help football players keep hydrated in the heat, Gatorade was an immediate hit. By 1969, a private company acquired rights to market the drink and started adding brominated vegetable oil to distribute flavor evenly in a new orange version. In those days, the oil was included in a list of additives, preservatives and chemicals that the government calls generally recognized as safe. The GRAS designation took root more than a half-century ago as a way to help the processed food industry avoid lengthy reviews for ingredients that were considered, by qualified experts, to be safe under conditions of

While our products are safe, we are making this change because we know that some consumers have a negative perception of BVO in Gatorade.
Molly Carter of PepsiCo intended use. Then, the list included ingredients such as vitamin A and citric acid about 180 in all. Today, as food scientists create more and more new ingredients to add health benefits or help food stay fresh, there are at least 4,650 of these generally recognized as safe ingredients, according to the nonpartisan Pew Charitable Trusts. The bulk of them, at least 3,000, were determined GRAS by food manufacturers or trade associations, and their expert scientists. But no one knows exactly how many GRAS ingredients are in products because manufacturers are not required to notify the FDA before adding them. BVO was on the safe list when Stokely-Van Camp Inc. developed orange-flavored Gatorade in 1969. The FDA notes that BVO contains far less bromine than flame retardants and is considered safe for use in limited quantities in fruit-flavored drinks. It is used to emulsify citrus oil in fruit-flavored beverages including Mountain Dew, Fanta and Powerade. The ingredient, which is banned as an additive in Japan and the European Union, will remain in orange Gatorade through this spring, said spokeswoman Molly Carter of PepsiCo, which now owns Gatorade. She added that the decision to drop it was sparked by consumer rumblings over the past year, not Kavanaghs petition specifically. While our products are safe, we are making this change because we know that some consumers have a negative perception of BVO in Gatorade, Carter said in a statement.

needs to work her sales position from home. I do some work early in the morning or after dinner, Armstrong says, and can adjust around her childrens school and sports schedules. Mothers attitudes both for those who work outside the home and those who dont have changed significantly. Among women with children under 18 years old, the proportion of those who say they would prefer to work full time has increased from 20 percent in 2007 to 32 percent last year. When all adults were asked about working moms, however, just 16 percent said the best situation for a young child is to have a mother working full time. Slightly over 40 percent said part time was ideal, and one-third said staying home was best for kids.

HERKIMER, N.Y. Police in upstate New York stormed an abandoned building this morning where a man suspected of a deadly shooting rampage at a car wash and barbershop had been holed up for hours, killing the man after he fired on a police dog. Kurt Myers, 64, was killed by police who had surrounded a block of small businesses in the village of Herkimer since Wednesday afternoon. SWAT teams went into the building around 8 a.m., trooper Jack Keller said. The shootout occurred in the basement. Keller said police sent in the dog first and Myers shot and killed it. He was waiting for us, Keller said. He kills the dog. They hear shots fired. Our teams returned fire and the suspect gets shot. No officers were injured, he said. Police say Myers sauntered into a barbershop Wednesday, coolly asked if the man cutting hair remembered him and then opened fire with a shotgun, the first shots in a burst of violence that would leave four dead, two critically wounded and people in this small village aching to find out what set the gunman off. John Seymour, one of the men wounded in the attacks told his sister, Mary Hornett, the barbershop attack came out of nowhere. He just said that the guys were in the barbershop and this guy comes in and he says, Hi John, do you remember me? and my brother said, Yes, Kurt, how are you? and then he just started shooting, Hornett said. Hornett said her brother, who was hospitalized in critical condition, was doing well after being shot in the left hand and right hip. My brother couldnt think of any reason why he would do such a thing, she said of Myers, a former customer who hadnt been in the shop for a couple of years. The shootings shattered the peace and rattled the nerves of Mohawk and Herkimer, two small villages about 170 miles northwest of New York City, separated from each other by the Mohawk River and the New York State Thruway. Police said Myers rampage started with a fire in his apartment in the nearby village of Mohawk at about 9:30 a.m. Wednesday. He then drove to Johns Barber Shop around the corner and used a shotgun to kill two customers, DAmico said, identifying them as Harry Montgomery, 68, and Michael Ransear, 57, a retired corrections officer. In addition to Seymour, the shops owner, another customer, Dan Haslauer, also was listed in critical condition at a Utica hospital. The gunman then drove to Gaffys Fast Lube in nearby Herkimer and used the shotgun to kill Michael Renshaw and Thomas Stefka. Renshaw was a 23-year employee of the state corrections department who worked at Mid-State Correctional Facility near Utica. Stefka worked at Gaffeys and attended Mohawk Reform Church, where he played guitar during services.

Comcast, networks collaborate on TV binge week

BY DAVID BAUDER The Associated Press

NEW YORK The nations largest cable company is offering viewers a chance to binge on many of televisions most popular series during the last week of March. The Comcast Corp.s watchathon for March 25-31 serves as a grand look into what may be the future of TV viewing. Broadcast networks generally make a limited number of series episodes available to on demand customers, but will offer entire seasons during the binge week. Customers who dont normally get pay networks like HBO and Showtime will get free access to the entire runs of series like Homeland and Girls. Comcast is also trying to encourage use of its service that allows customers to watch TV on mobile devices. Roughly 20 percent of the nations TV households are Comcast customers.

GENEVA The search is all but over for a subatomic particle that is a crucial building block of the universe. Physicists announced today they believe they have discovered the subatomic particle predicted nearly a half-century ago, which will go a long way toward explaining what gives electrons and all matter in the universe size and shape. The elusive particle, called a Higgs boson, was predicted in 1964 to help fill in our understanding of the creation of the universe, which many theorize occurred in a massive explosion known as the Big Bang. The particle was named for Peter Higgs, one of the physicists who proposed its existence, but it later became popularly known as the God particle. The discovery would be a strong contender for the Nobel Prize. Last July, scientists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN, announced finding a particle they described as Higgs-like, but they stopped short of saying conclusively that it was the same particle or was some version of it. Scientists have now finished going through the entire set of data. The preliminary results with the full 2012 data set are magnificent and to me it is clear that we are dealing with a Higgs boson, though we still have a long way to go to know what kind of Higgs boson it is, said Joe Incandela, a physicist who heads one of the two main teams at CERN, each involving several thousand scientists.

Kenya acrobat falls during circus show

MOSCOW (AP) A Kenyan acrobat fell through a safety net during a show at a Moscow circus, suffering severe injuries including a fractured vertebra. An amateur video aired on Russian television showed 22-year-old Karo Christopher Kazungu diving from a height of 26 meters (85 feet), hitting the net and going through it and landing on the arena floor during the Wednesday evening show. Kazungu was at the end of his routine and was due to dismounting after the dive. Edgard Zapashny, director general of the Great Moscow State Circus, told Russian television that the German-made safety net had been rigorously tested before it was used. Circus employees are speculating on whether someone may have tampered with the net or whether it was faulty. Zapashny said, however, that they did not see any signs of sabotage on first inspection. The circus said on its website today that Kazungu was conscious when he was taken to the hospital. Russian news agencies quoted the director of the acrobatics show as saying that Kazungu was diagnosed with a fracture of one vertebra and was in intensive care.

Answers to Wednesdays questions: The name of Calvins private eye alter ego in the Calvin and Hobbes comic strip was Tracer Bullet. A police mug shot of Microsoft founder Bill Gates was used in a computer software ad in Germany. The mug shot was taken in 1977 when Gates was arrested for speeding in Albuquerque, N.M., where Microsoft was then headquartered. The slogan accompanying the ad read: Good that there are no speed limits for software. Todays questions: What popular U.S. sitcom was remade in Great Britain as The Brighton Belles?

Tomorrows Horoscope
FRIDAY, MARCH 15, 2013 Increased earnings are a strong probability for you in the year ahead. Work hard, but occasionally take some time to enjoy life and smell the roses. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Even though youre aware of the right course of action to follow, you might lack the courage to take it. Dont take the easy way out if you can help it. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Dont prolong the agony of an overdue bill; it only gets more pronounced with time. Pay off what you can, no matter how small the amount. It all has a way of adding up. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -At times, you can be opinionated and reluctant to change your mind, even to accommodate others. But it could be worse to change your opinion for the wrong reasons. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Although your material aspects look very encouraging, you might not make the most of your opportunities. Dont let all the good things happening slip through your fingers. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -To be successful, you must be hopeful and secure in your situation. Try not to be influenced by the negative opinions of another. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- When you spot a quick victory, youre likely to handle yourself extremely well. Conversely, when tenacity is required, you might buckle under and make a poor showing. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Instead of telling a friend about the things that could go wrong with his or her idea, you should be supportive. If, by chance, your pal should blunder, an I told you so wont be appreciated. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Commercial dealings could be somewhat difficult for you at present. In certain situations you should do well, but be prepared for a few failures as well. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- When it comes to an important negotiation, you need to know exactly what youre agreeing to. Take plenty of time to study things thoroughly in order to spot any flaws. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Doing business with friends can be more frustrating and less profitable than dealing with strangers. Give your pal the best deal you can, but dont be taken advantage of. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Theres a chance you could get drawn into a situation that includes someone you personally dislike. Do your best to hide your feelings from everyone involved. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Youre inclined to be helpful to another, provided the initiative to do so originates with you. However, anyone who makes a demand on you is likely to see another facet of your personality.
