Aﬂac dumps duck voice actor for tastelessness

RYAN FLINN BLOOMBERG NEWS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

COLUMBUS, Ga. — Aflac has fired Gilbert Gottfried, the comedian who is the voice of the insurer’s quacking duck in the U.S. Gottfried, who has voiced the duck in numerous commercials since 2000, posted a string of mocking jokes about the earthquake and tsunami in Japan on Twitter over the weekend. “I just split up with my girlfriend, but like the Japanese say, ‘They’ll be another one floating by any minute now,’ ” he tweeted Saturday. Aflac Inc., which does 75 percent of its business in Japan, says the jokes do not represent the feelings of the company. The insurer says it will start a casting search for a replacement. Gottfried is not the voice of the duck in Japan.

SAN FRANCISCO — At Yelp Inc.’s San Francisco headquarters, a keg refrigerator provides a never-ending supply of beer to employees, letting them drink as much as they like. They just have to be comfortable with full disclosure: Workers badge in to an iPad application attached to the keg that records every ounce they drink. “If you’re at the top of the leader board consistently, I don’t know if that’s a place that you’d want to be,” said Eric Singley, director of Yelp consumer

That means keeping bars stocked at all hours, installing kegerators and letting programmers tip back a few while they code. It also raises questions about the effect of alcohol on productivity and the safety of employees. “Alcohol is sort of a slippery slope, because obviously you’d think it might impair their performance,” said Dalton See BOOZE, A2

MIDLAND — Chip Reeves of Midland was in a jetliner just minutes from departing Japan when the country’s largest recorded earthquake hit last week. “We were just ready for departure — at the end of the runway — when the first earthquake hit, and they immediately closed the airport,” said Reeves, 45. “It was clear that this was something that was unusually large.” Reeves was one of seven Williams Township-based Dow Corning Corp. employees aboard the Boeing 747 Delta Airlines flight from Shanghai to Detroit that had a layover in Japan just as the earthquake hit. Friday’s magnitude 9.0 offshore quake triggered a 23-foot-high tsunami and was followed for hours by more than 50 aftershocks, many of them severe, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Reeves said the aircraft rocked back and forth on the tarmac every 15 minutes or so from aftershocks, but being grounded for six hours was a blessing in disguise. “There was no immediate threat of something falling on you or a building falling apart,” he said. “Nobody was in a hurry to get off of the airplane because we knew

Somali pirates get life in a U.S. prison THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NORFOLK, Va. — Five Somali men convicted of attacking a Navy ship were sentenced to life in prison Monday, the harshest sentences yet for accused pirates as the U.S. tries to halt piracy off Africa’s coast. The federal prosecution in Virginia relied upon rarely-used 19th century maritime laws and was the first piracy case to go to trial since the Civil War, when a New York jury deadlocked on charges against 13 Southern privateers. Last month, a Somali pirate who kidnapped and brutalized the captain of a U.S.-flagged merchant ship off the coast of Africa in 2009 was sentenced to more than 33 years in prison. Before the Somalis were convicted late last year, the last U.S. conviction for piracy was in 1819 in Virginia and involved a Spanish vessel. U.S. piracy law was based on that case. The five men also were sentenced to an additional 80 years in prison on other charges related to the attack on the USS Nicholas. Several of the pirates said they plan to appeal their sentences.

Dow Corning employees survive quake Workers’ ﬂight grounded during event

JUSTIN ENGEL SAGINAW TWP. — College basketball fans call it March Madness, but the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament that begins today is a different kind of insanity for those struggling with a gambling problem, experts say. “It’s a trigger time of the year,” said former gambling addict Harry K., who today answers calls for the state’s Gamblers Anonymous help line. “Some can’t even watch the tournament on television because it starts to get in their head that they have to bet,” says the 68-year-old business owner, who asked to remain anonymous. A Central Michigan University expert on sports gambling, Timothy W. Otteman, estimates as much as $3.9 billion in legal and illegal wagers will be placed on the basketball tournament this year. With gambling on the tournament commonly seen as an acceptable practice, it feeds a problem for those with a betting addiction, Harry K. said. “It can be a very subtle thing,” he said. “You don’t have to bet large (to have a problem). Sometimes, you go through a lot of money over a long period of time — the sort of money that, if an alcohol or drug addict spent that much on their addiction, they’d be dead.”

Items stolen from parked cars SAGINAW TWP. — “For the first time in a while,” Saginaw Township police recorded vehicle larcenies this weekend, Saginaw Township police Lt. Gary P. Grauf says. “One at State Lanes, one at Stardust Lanes in the middle of the afternoon Saturday,” he said. “I think they may be connected. (Bowling alleys) are always a hot spot for car larcenies historically, because of the high numbers of vehicles in the lot.” Between 12:30 and 2:30 p.m. Saturday, culprits stole a purse and a diaper bag from a vehicle parked at State Lanes, 5707 State; and a GPS unit and designer sunglasses from a vehicle parked at Stardust Lanes, 3750 Bay, Grauf said. He said both vehicles were locked with the stolen items visible.

Reeves said he already has donated money to the relief efforts in Japan and plans to donate more. A spokesman for Dow Corning, which has five sites and about 1,000 employees in Japan, said all employees are safe and have been accounted for there. “Dow Corning’s employees are saddened by the tragedy taking place in Japan, and share their deepest sympathies for the victims of this devastating earthquake and tsunami,” said Dow Corning spokesman Jarrod Erpelding.

CMU faculty member Otteman wrote a book on the subject. He said people legally will gamble between $85 million to $95 million this year on the tournament. The amount of money gambled illegally — the sort that happens in the office or among friends — could reach 40 times that figure, he said. “What much of the research says is, this socially acceptable opportunity is very often the first step,” said Otteman, who authored a book titled, “ ‘BETTOR’ Education: The Life Stories of 14 College Student Sports Gamblers.” He called tournament betting “entrylevel” gambling that’s gaining more acceptance. “Now you’re seeing kids fill out brackets in middle school or they’re being introduced to it by male members of

SAGINAW TWP. — Unlike communities or school districts that face serious financial issues, Saginaw Township will have nearly $11.1 million in reserve funds when the fiscal year ends March 31, budget documents show. And with Gov. Rick Snyder and the Legislature hanging the fiscal ax over as much as a third of statutory state revenue sharing to many communities, the suburb felt the pain years earlier: The township no longer collects $1.1 million in that form of revenue sharing it did a decade ago. Even so, it collects $2.5 million in another form of state aid: Constitutional revenue sharing. An estimated $3.8 million

rainy-day fund will cushion any lost revenue. Monday, the Township Board of Trustees OK’d a $17.1 million budget, an overall increase compared to an estimated $16.6 million in spending this year. The 2011-12 fiscal year begins April 1. Savings are expected to drop to $10.1 million next year, mostly through pulling $1.1 million out of a police fund balance. “We want to make sure we remain solvent and don’t run into any financial problems down the road,” said Assistant Township Manager Rob Grose. Among some big ticket items, the township will contribute $165,000 to a $350,000 rubberized asphalt project to reconstruct Hackett between

McCarty and Midland, said Grose. Another $110,000 will build a path along South Center from the boat launch on the Tittabawassee River to South Center to West Michigan. The suburb will spend $8,000 to fill gaps in the sidewalk along McCarty between Bay and Mackinaw. In other big-ticket items, the township will purchase a $50,000 fire training simulator and roughly $30,000 to replace a 2005 four-wheel drive Chevrolet Tahoe driven by fire Chief Jim Peterson, Grose said. The 2005 Tahoe will be assigned to Fire Station No. 2. In the Police Department, the suburb will spend $60,000 to replace two Ford Crown Victo-

ria patrol cars and an unmarked Chevrolet Impala, Grose said. The township will spend $20,000 on a 2011 Chevy Impala as a staff car for Manager Ron Lee. Staff will use the 2008 Impala that Lee drives now, said Grose. Most department budgets remain flat year to year. The largest single piece of the fiscal pie, the general fund, accounts for $6.9 million. That compares to spending about $7.5 million last year. The Police Department has budgeted nearly $6.1 million, about $30,000 less than this year. Three employees have retired, and a fourth is expected this year, bringing total uniform strength to 43, Grose said.

Snyder’s plan vexes protesters

SAGINAW — An American flag rested atop Richard Honig Jr.’s shoulder like a rifle Monday as he walked the grounds at Borchard Park. The Saginaw man was one of a handful of people who turned out for a rally called Fight For a Fair Economy that Service Employees International Union of Saginaw helped organize to voice opposition to proposed legislation by Republicans and Gov. Rick Snyder. The midday rally drew about 25 protesters. Honig said he’s concerned about Republican legislation that could give the state the right to appoint managers to take over city and school operations in cases of economic emergencies. The bills would allow the state to appoint managers, who could take power from civic leaders, such as school board members, and tear up collective bargaining agreements. It “becomes a civil rights issue,” Honig said. Honig also believes Republicans intend to cripple funding to communities to “create an artificial emergency” so they can take over. “You can’t just automatically say there is an emergency, when that emergency is created by the state,” Honig said. Kathleen "Kitty" Packard, a former employee of the Saginaw County treasurer's office, also

proposals to repeal the Michigan Earned Income Tax Credit, allow the taxation of pensions and provide tax cuts to Michigan businesses. Snyder defends the plan as a way to end Michigan’s budget deficits and lay the foundation for economic growth.

this year as part of the district’s 2011 budget. In a time where state funding is an unknown, Ellinger said he is glad the board approved the project. Gov. Rick Snyder’s budget proposal calls for about a $470 perpupil cut for public education, or about $3.9 million in lost revenue for the district, if approved. Sinking fund money can only be used for designated physical plant purposes. Board of Education members will conduct a budget workshop May 2 to examine money-saving efforts. In addition to approving the building work, the board also voted to enter

into a seven-year lease totaling about $806,000 to update network and telecommunications electronics from Cisco Systems. Building phones districtwide would be updated, marking the first upgrade of the system since 2000. The new phone system will be installed this summer. Linda Cline, finance director, said while the initial investment is expensive, she anticipates the district can save money by year five of the lease. “We’re going to cut phone maintenance in half and save energy and relieve any uncertainty on how long are current system will last,” she said.

Volunteer ﬁreﬁghters sought Plan is to beef up Bay City’s department

SHANNON MURPHY smurphy@bc-times.com | (989) 894-9645

BAY CITY — The city is moving forward with plans to add volunteer firefighters to the Fire Department’s ranks. The city is seeking applications for people interested in becoming paid, on-call firefighters. An orientation, including a written and physical-agility test, is April 6. “We want Christopher to see if there is enough Shannon interest to take it forward,” said Bay City Fire Chief Greg Michalek. Michalek said the city needs at least 20 oncall firefighters for the program to work. They would supplement the 45 full-time firefighters on the roster. Greg Michalek Michalek and other city officials have said oncall staff would not replace career firefighters, but supplement a smaller staff. The city lost six firefighters in 2009 because of layoffs. Budget cuts last year threatened the department with five more layoffs, but those cuts were avoided through contract negotiations that included a stipulation to allow for on-call positions. “In recent years, there has been a lot of talk about the reduction of the number of people in the fire department,” said Bay City Mayor Christopher Shannon, a long-time proponent of a hybrid department. “This is a way to react to that to ease residents’ fears that somehow services have diminished. We’re going to bring more bodies to the force.” Shannon said about $140,000 was set aside a couple of years ago to help train the volunteer firefighters. The City Commission voted in 2008 to move toward a hybrid department to save costs, but opposition from the firefighters union stalled the effort. Bay City Firefighters Union President Kurt Wagner could not be reached for comment. Particulars of the volunteer aspect, such as how much they would be paid, has not been publicly discussed. Michalek said he would rather see part-time firefighters responding to emergencies. “Some of the struggles with paid on-call is you are not sure how many will show up, if any,” he said. Shannon, however, points out that most surrounding cities and townships have paid, on-call departments and are able to respond to emergencies.

Tailgunner Joe haunts Muslim-loyalty hearing

WASHINGTON — Peter King staged his investigation into the loyalty of Muslim Americans in an appropriate place: a hearing room once used by the House UnAmerican Activities Committee. The New York Republican was eager to avoid the red-scare DANA taint, and Milbank he allowed danamilbank@ the 84-yearwashpost.com old dean of the House, Democrat John Dingell of Michigan, to open the session with wisdom learned during his time as a chairman. “I kept a picture of Joe McCarthy hanging on the wall so that I would know what it was I did not want to look like,” Dingell said, cautioning the committee not to “blot the good name or the loyalty” of Arabs or Muslims. But the ghost of Tailgunner Joe would not be denied. It found a host in the body of freshman Rep. Chip Cravaack, R-Minn., who asked Los Angeles County Sheriff Leroy Baca, a witness, about his work with a large Muslim group called CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations. “You are aware that this is a Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood entity?” the

lawmaker asked, pronouncing Muslim as “moo-slim.” “No, I’m not aware of that,” the sheriff replied. Cravaack informed Baca that CAIR was founded by two people identified as “Hamas members” by the FBI. “Basically you’re dealing with a terrorist organization,” he said. “If the FBI has something to charge CAIR with, bring those charges forward,” Baca replied, coolly. Cravaack was indignant. “Are you saying that the FBI

was wrong in identifying that CAIR is part of Hamas, an entity of Hamas?” This is the very definition of McCarthyism: false allegations of subversion. King didn’t even bother inviting the group to defend itself. I’m no fan of CAIR, which was one of 250 unindicted co-conspirators in the Holy Land Foundation terrorist finance case of 2007. But the FBI doesn’t call CAIR a terrorist group. Nor does it allege that CAIR was founded or financed by Hamas.

In America, if somebody, even somebody unpopular, has committed a crime, we bring charges. We don’t float Internet rumors at a congressional hearing. Happily, King won’t become another Joe McCarthy, even if he wanted to. This time, the opposition has no fear. Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., a Muslim, sobbed as he testified about a Muslim American who died as a first responder on 9/11; King looked away uncomfortably. It could not

have been any more comfortable as King and his white Republican colleagues listened to the Democrats — most of them black or Latino — speak up for another minority. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee theatrically waved a copy of the Constitution and proclaimed: “This breathing document is in pain!” King and his courtiers were evidently sensitive to appearance, because many of them prefaced their accusations in the way people sometimes say, “some of my best friends are gay.” “I have many Muslim friends,” said Rep. Tim Walberg, R-Mich. “They are our neighbors and our friends,” agreed Rep. Scott Rigell, R-Va. Instead, King’s men found a safe alternative for their ire: American Muslim leadership, particularly CAIR. “Responsible Muslim American leaders must reject discredited groups such as CAIR,” King demanded. King’s aides displayed a poster with the words “Don’t talk to the FBI” and kept it up for most of the hearing. “Thankfully, FBI Director Mueller has ordered the FBI to cease all dealings and contact with CAIR, possibly and probably because of this type of placard and poster, which was posted by San Francisco CAIR.”

King neglected to mention that the poster was from the 1980 Puerto Rico independence movement, or that CAIR called for the poster to be removed from its affiliate’s website. Rep. Frank Wolf, R-Va., delivered an extended condemnation of CAIR, warning that it “is hurting the American Muslim community.” One of the witnesses complained that CAIR was coercing Muslims to support imams and mosques. Another witness said CAIR had been “extremely insulting” to American soldiers. Rep. Paul Broun, R-Ga., said “we need to know exactly who our enemy is” before asking the witnesses for their views on CAIR. King joked that his hearing had been “attacked by everybody from CAIR to Kim Kardashian.” As the barrage continued, the Los Angeles sheriff appealed for reason. “CAIR supported the development of the Muslim American Homeland Security Congress,” Baca said. “Furthermore, they support the Muslim outreach program that I’m doing. ... I have not experienced anything that suggests that CAIR supports terrorism.” What’s this? Evidence that contradicts the committee’s accusations? How unAmerican!

What has Chinese Charlie Sheen has lessons to teach us leaders so nervous? MATTHEW LYNN

BLOOMBERG NEWS

THE WASHINGTON POST

Everyone knows that the future belongs to China, right? Its economy recently surpassed Japan’s as the world’s second-largest. Its navy is roaming ever farther and with growing confidence. It is training a generation of scientists and engineers in numbers the United States can only imagine. Its high-speed rail network is the envy of the Obama administration — or at least it was, until top railway officials were sacked for apparent corruption and possibly shortcuts on safety. But if things are going so well, why are China’s Communist dictators so nervous? For two years now, they have been cracking down with increasing force on peaceful lawyers, journalists and citizen activists — and since the uprisings in the Middle East, the crackdown has taken on a new ferocity. An anonymous Internet campaign calling on Chinese citizens to join the “Jasmine Revolution” has had little apparent success in generating protests. But it has whipped Chinese police into a spasm of aggression

against Chinese and foreigners alike. The government has effectively retracted its promise to allow foreign correspondents to report freely, warning them away from sites where protests might take place. On Feb. 27, police assaulted or intimidated more than a dozen members of the foreign media who had ignored one such warning, according to Human Rights Watch. Chinese have been treated far worse. At least 100 activists have been rounded up, and some have been charged with “crimes” that could lead to multi-year prison sentences. Communist Party officials routinely claim to enjoy the support of their people, though they do not dare subject that claim to the test of elections. They do not believe the claim themselves. The result is that the vibrant society China will need as its economy grows instead is being stunted. The Obama administration has raised human rights concerns with the Chinese government but often in a muted way. U.S. officials should do better.

LONDON — It would take most of us a few dozen lifetimes to amass 2 million followers on Twitter. And yet Charlie Sheen managed it in less than a week. Last month, CBS discontinued the hit comedy show “Two and a Half Men” after Sheen’s public jousting with senior management over a binge that the wild-man actor has described as “epic” and “radical.” Since then, he has become one of the biggest names on the planet. What is fascinating about this whole fandango isn’t Sheen’s public dramas. It is the way he has given us a master-class in modern media promotion and how Wall Street shareholders, who ultimately own his former employer, have allowed themselves to be so completely outwitted. Big companies seem to expect their celebrities to have stepped straight out of a 1950s suburb. From Kate Moss, to Tiger Woods, to Charlie Sheen, any hint of “inappropriate” behavior has the sponsors running faster than one of Sheen’s female companions can drop her, er, earrings. And yet if there is a single lesson to be learned from the past decade, it is that the public — or the customer — is more forgiving. In fact, the more outrageously a celebrity behaves, and the less contrition he or she shows, the more we find them alluring. It pays to be bad, and slightly nutty, as well. If CBS can’t figure that out, perhaps it’s time the shareholders changed the management. Sheen clearly knows a lot more about how 21st-century business operates than they do. As I write, Sheen has sent a Twitter update from “Sober Valley Lodge.” Rachel, one of the “goddesses” he lives with, has just left the building. He’s keeping his new customers — all 2 million of them — informed of every development. Sheen has clearly struck a nerve. His over-the-top partying isn’t just amusing. It is the kind of escapism that audiences want. Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards has been an iconic figure for 40 years with his lifestyle, so it wasn’t surprising to see that his autobiography topped the best-seller charts over Christmas. We don’t want celebrities who come across as drab. When British model Kate Moss was photographed taking drugs, her sponsors ran for cover. But Moss soon came back as popular as ever. Golfer Tiger Woods was dropped by many of his corporate back-

Tiger is back on the circuit, and once his swing is restored to its best, it is a fair bet the sponsors will show up again. Sheen’s new army of followers on Twitter suggests his audience is rooting for his return. Anyone can see he will bounce back a bigger star than ever. CBS may well end up rehiring him. If it does, it will probably have to double or triple his pay. If it doesn’t, someone else will. The odd thing is that they dropped him at all — and that shareholders didn’t demand the board’s resignation. After all, the company made some catastrophic errors of judgment. First, Sheen is entitled to a private life. He’s not an elected official and doesn’t offer moral guidance to anyone. If he wants to party like a wild animal, that’s his business. He is a fine actor, as movies such as “Platoon” (1986) and “Wall Street” (1987) showed. It’s ridiculous to expect him to behave like a Sunday school teacher. Since when were sitcom stars expected to be celibate teetotalers? There is no obligation on him to live his life by anyone else’s rules. Second, he’s the talent. A hedge fund wouldn’t fire the star trader if he was a drug user or an alcoholic.

It would have to get rid of half the staff if it did. A publishing house doesn’t drop its biggest-selling writer because he or she keeps a bottle of vodka next to the computer. There would be far fewer books to read if it did. Media companies need stars more than stars need media companies. It’s that simple. Third, and most importantly, they have misunderstood the way modern celebrity works. From Keith Richards to Paris Hilton to Charlie Sheen, we actually like the famous to be flamboyant, larger-than-life figures. They are fantasy characters through whom many people live vicariously. We like them to live outrageous lives. They do stuff that most of us don’t, but are happy to read about, and laugh about. It increases their appeal — and Sheen is simply the latest example of that. CBS doesn’t appear to get that. Neither does Wall Street. Fame is the essential raw material for any corporation in the entertainment industry. They should realize that Sheen, even with a bottle of bourbon in one hand and a porn star in the other, knows much more about business than they do.

Theaters ﬁght to keep popcorn from food-label rule

JEFFREY YOUNG BLOOMBERG NEWS

WASHINGTON — Movie theater chains are fighting a federal requirement to disclose that their popcorn contains as many as 1,460 calories, or equal to almost three Big Macs. Chain restaurants with at least 20 U.S. locations will have to post the calorie content of menu items under a provision in the health care law. Regulators will propose rules by March 23 and can include concession stands and grocery stores, according to guidance that came out last year. “It’s easy enough to blow your whole diet for a week from one snack at the movie theater,” said Margo Wootan, the director of nutrition policy at the Center for Science in the Public Interest in Washington. “Just because you happen to be watching a movie while you’re eating doesn’t mean you aren’t eating out.” Movie theaters and grocery stores are lobbying the Food and Drug Administration to avoid the proposed regulation. Theater chains led by Knoxville, Tennessee-based Regal Entertainment Group generate as much as one-third of their annual revenue from concessions. Congress didn’t mention theaters in the law, and the idea of regulating them never came up at legislative hearings, said Patrick Corcoran, a spokesman for the National Association of Theatre Owners, a Washington-based trade group. “In the basic history of the bill there is no real intent to include movie theaters that we could discern,” he said. Grocery stores also shouldn’t be subject to the rule, said Erik Lieberman, regulatory counsel for the Food Marketing Institute, the Arlington, Va.-based trade group representing chains

A cashier at a theater in Saginaw scoops up popcorn for a customer. Theater chains oppose a proposal that would require them to tell how many calories are in the popular snack. including Safeway Inc. “There’s no indication that the Congress ever intended to regulate supermarkets,” he said. Teena Massingill, a Safeway spokeswoman, didn’t respond to an e-mail requesting comment. Movie theater chains were supposed to be targeted by the mandate, said Rep. Rosa DeLauro, a Connecticut Democrat who sponsored a food-labeling bill in the House that was incorporated into the health-care law. Only prepared food such as popcorn and hot dogs sold at concession stands may be subject to the labeling requirements, because packaged food already has nutritional labels. If concession stands are exempt, a customer of McDonald’s would know a Big Mac meal with a medium French fries and a medium Coca-Cola has 1,130 calories, while a theatergoer at Regal Cinemas wouldn’t know that a

bank can send text alerts when your checking balance is low or when withdrawals and deposits are posted to your account. You can get alerts for debit and creditcard purchases that exceed a set amount, which might indicate fraud. • How much does it cost? Banks typically charge no additional fees for mobile banking because automation reduces their operating costs. But you might incur fees from your cellular service carrier. If you buy texting by the message, you’ll pay 20 cents per text sent and received, which means it can cost 40 cents to check your balance. Consumer Reports Money Adviser warns that that can get pretty pricey, especially if you check balances frequently. • Is it secure? Fear that a crook will steal money from their bank accounts by using their cell phone is a major reason consumers don’t sign up for mobile banking. But numerous security redundancies provide plenty of assurances. For starters, if the worst happens, once you report your phone lost or stolen, your carrier can disable it and your bank can shut off phone access to your accounts.

large popcorn with butter-flavored topping packs 330 more calories than the fast-food combo. The Center for Science in the Public Interest analyzed popcorn sold by Regal Entertainment, Cinemark and AMC Entertainment Inc. of Kansas City, Mo., in 2009 and found it contained from 370 calories to 1,460 calories depending on the serving size and whether butter-flavored toppings were added. A “moderately active” man who is 26 to 45 years old should consume 2,600 calories in a day, according to guidelines published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Food sales accounted for 26 percent of Regal Entertainment’s $2.81 billion in revenue last year, according to the firm’s annual report. Thirty percent of Cinemark’s $2.14 billion in 2010 sales came from food and drinks, according to the company’s annual report.

Dick Westerling, Regal Entertainment’s senior vice president of marketing and advertising, declined to comment in an e-mail. Cinemark and Columbus, Georgia-based Carmike declined to comment through Robert Rinderman, managing director of New York-based consulting company Jaffoni & Collins Inc., which represents both companies. Justin Scott, a spokesman for AMC Entertainment, declined to comment. The National Restaurant Association in Washington and the National Council of Chain Restaurants endorsed the federal labeling requirements to replace laws in cities including New York and Philadelphia, said Scott Vinson, vice president of the chain restaurants group. Movie theaters ought to play by the same rules, he said. “A lot of these places are, in our opinion, our competitors,” Vinson said.

Gross sees trouble ahead for Treasurys Bill Gross is so bearish about the U.S. bond market that his fund has sold its Treasury bonds and notes. And his fund is the world’s biggest bond fund, the PIMCO Total Return fund, with $237 billion in assets. He recommends that other investors follow his fund’s example. Treasury prices are likely to take a hard fall when the Federal Reserve’s bond-buying program ends June 30, Gross says. “When the Fed stops buying, who will take their place?” No foreign country, fund manager or other investor has the ability or desire to replace the Fed’s $75 billion in monthly purchases, he says. It will take a large jump in yields to draw buyers back. So Total Return by last week had dumped its bonds and notes. It still has Treasury bills, SOURCE: Morningstar

concerns about demand, especially for PCs. Apple’s iPad has cut into sales of PCs and demand for the chips that power them. The J.P. Morgan analysts were particularly bullish on Texas Instruments. They said the company would probably beat earnings estimates in the second half of the year. Last week, though, the company said demand for TVs and PCs remains weak.

A better view of chips

J.P. Morgan Securities analysts are getting more optimistic about the chip industry. They upgraded their outlook for the industry to “constructive” from “cautious.” And they put the equivalent of “buy” ratings on three stocks: Texas Instruments, Xilinx and ON Semiconductor. Analysts have had a negative view of the industry because chip inventories were high and there were

The Japanese yen retreated from a fourmonth high Monday after the Bank of Japan took extraordinary measures to support the economy following the earthquake and tsunami.

mortgages, and foreign bonds among its holdings. The fund can also own stocks. Yet Gross is also wary about stocks. The Fed’s purchases have kept interest rates low. That has helped the S&P 500 rise 22 percent since Chairman Ben Bernanke dropped hints about the program last August. But the Fed’s support for the economy is “artificial,” Gross says. Take that away and bond and stock markets “could have a shock.” His advice: Look overseas. Gross recommends companies like Coca-Cola. It gets about three-quarters of its revenue outside the U.S. If you want bonds, look for countries that don’t have heavy debt loads like the U.S.: Brazil, South Korea and Indonesia.

Commodities Palladium and platinum prices fell after some Japanese automakers closed temporarily because of Friday’s earthquake and tsunami. The area hit is a major center for automobile production.

Other retailers who cater to higher-end shoppers did well for the quarter, and that bodes well for WilliamsSonoma.

The National Association of Home Builders releases its housing market index for March. The index is the housing industry’s version of the consumer confidence index – it measures how optimistic builders are about the economy. With unemployment high and a backlog of foreclosed homes still on the market, builders aren’t likely to sound very upbeat. Still, there have been some small signs of change, and spring, the industry’s best season for sales, is almost here.

How builders feel

The Federal Reserve’s regularly scheduled meeting on interest rates is likely to be a balancing act. The central bank is still concerned about helping the economy grow. But it’s also seeing inflation becoming a problem. Economists expect the Fed to agree to continue its $600 billion bond-buying program to put more money into the economy. But some Fed officials are concerned about inflation and are likely to dissent.

Mounting concerns over the impact of the massive earthquake and tsunami in Japan pushed stocks lower Monday. Nine out of 10 company groups that make up the S&P 500 index fell. The S&P 500 fell 0.6 percent. The Dow fell 0.4 percent. The Nasdaq fell 0.5 percent.

Kansas, Washington state and Massachusetts are considering caucuses, the kind of political party-run public gatherings made famous in Iowa, where voters gather and cajole neighbors to back their candidate. More than a dozen other states hold such events. There are several states that are trying to maintain their position in the nominating process. Florida and Minnesota want to keep their primaries in February, figuring they will benefit from the increased media exposure and the modest economic bump that comes with campaigns buying advertising and staging events.

KATHY BARKS HOFFMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LANSING — Michigan budget director John Nixon doesn’t have a Twitter account, but like Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, he has attracted a tweeter pretending to be him. The FakeJohnNixon Twitter account started up last week and already has posted around 150 tweets. The fake account notes that Nixon is Michigan’s highest-paid state employee and is consuming Michigan’s economy “one big gargantuan bite at a time.” It adds, “Just call me Budget Crunch.” It had 39 followers as of Monday evening. A tweet from Thursday reads, “If pension tax doesn’t pass, Gov to start mugging old shoppers in supermarket parking lots.” John Nixon The tweet was a sarcastic reference to Republican Gov. Rick Snyder’s proposal to end the exemptions for most pension income from the state income tax. Nixon, 38, whose annual salary is $250,000, had not seen the tweets, many of which contain profanity or pointed criticism of the governor’s policies, until alerted to it by a reporter. A spokesman said the budget director had little to say about it. “When you’re in the public eye, these types of things come with the territory, especially in this social mediadriven day and age,” Ken Silfven said. “John has a great sense of humor and realizes that it’s not meant to be taken seriously.” A FakeRickSnyder Twitter account also has been started recently and contains similar tweets, although fewer have been posted so far. Columbia College assistant journalism professor Dan Sinker started a fake, profanity-laced Twitter account during Emanuel’s run for Chicago mayor that attracted 39,000 followers. Emanuel, President Barack Obama’s former chief of staff, is known for his acid tongue and use of profanity, so the tweets seemed in character. In contrast, Nixon’s language during his first two months as Michigan budget director has been anything but salty.

School offers single parents campus housing

KIMBERLY P. MITCHELL | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Raveen Walker, 18, of Southﬁeld hopes to enroll at Eastern Michigan University to pursue a career in nursing while still raising her 1-year-old daughter, Aniyah. Endicott received a $400,000 grant in February 2010 from the Kellogg Foundation to replicate its program, and EMU is the first university to adopt it. Now, EMU is responsible for helping replicate the program at other schools in the state. The hope is that two more Michigan colleges will be on board by 2012, and more after that, said Endicott President Richard Wylie. “Our real goal is to get colleges across the country to see this as a deserving population,” Wylie said. “If a thousand colleges did it, how many young men and women would we take off welfare?” As Endicott considered where to replicate its program, officials knew they wanted to reach out to Michigan because 39 percent of Michigan families headed by single parents live in poverty. They subsequently developed a relationship with EMU. The program isn’t free. Students are still responsible for paying for tuition, housing and child care. But Buggs and Findley said the university will work with each student to find grants and scholarships to minimize out-ofpocket expenses. Parents can have only one child, however, because of budget constraints. And that child must be 18 months old by the time the program starts, because that’s the earliest age the EMU Children’s Institute takes children. They also must be the child’s custodial parent. Because the EMU program is yearround, some students can potentially graduate within three years. That, of course, is dependent on the degree program they are in; some require more than four years to complete. Being on campus also will help students feel connected to the university, Buggs said. Often, the challenges of balancing child rearing and academic work can keep single parents from being involved in campus activities.

The university will house the program’s students and their children near each other in townhouse-style apartments on campus, with the goal being that they’ll be “learning and working together and supporting each other and creating sustainable, positive habits for learning,” Findley said. The students also will attend academic and personal development workshops. Tutoring will be provided to them. They will have help finding internships. And they’ll each be assigned a mentor — a successful EMU alumnus or member of the community. The idea is they’ll communicate weekly and have personal visits several times during each semester, Buggs said. For Sausan Ahmed, 21, the program is a way for her “to finally get a break.” The Ann Arbor resident has a 20-month-old son, Caiden, and she has applied to be among the first 10 students in the program. Being a single parent is hard, she said, and having a program that removes some of the barriers is a selling point. “I have no excuses now. I can’t say it’s hard. I have someone who is willing to help me.” Raveen Walker also is planning a nursing career. When she became pregnant with her daughter Aniyah at 16, she didn’t think she would finish high school, much less enroll in college. It has taken her an additional year of high school, but Walker, 18, is on track to graduate in May. Like Ahmed, Walker still has to be accepted into the program. EMU is still going through the recruiting process. But she said without the opportunity, she’s certain college would be a struggle. “If I don’t have this program to lift me up and help me, I don’t know what I would do.”

When you’re in the public eye, these types of things come with the territory, especially in this social media-driven day and age. John has a great sense of humor and realizes that it’s not meant to be taken seriously.” Ken Silfven SPOKESMAN

AG backs student who told clients to avoid homosexuality THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LANSING — The state attorney general says a graduate student’s dismissal from a counseling program for telling clients to avoid homosexual behavior may have violated her constitutional rights. Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti said Monday it’s confident the U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals will rule it acted appropriately. Attorney General Bill Schuette said he’s supporting Julea Ward’s civil rights lawsuit against the school. Julea Ward says she was removed in 2009 from Eastern’s counseling program for refusing to counsel gay clients, saying she believes homosexuality is wrong. A federal judge dismissed her lawsuit in July. Schuette filed a brief with the federal appeals court.

YPSILANTI — If Raveen Walker gets accepted to a new program at Eastern Michigan University, she won’t just bring the typical stuff all teens pack when they head off to college. She’ll also bring her 1-year-old daughter, Aniyah. Although family housing is a mainstay on many college campuses, EMU is the first in Michigan to launch a program geared toward single parents such as Walker who are 18-24 years old, have young children and want a shot at a college education. By next year, EMU hopes the program will expand to at least two other Michigan colleges. It’s modeled after a long-running program at Endicott College in Beverly, Mass. The effort, called Keys to Degrees, is unique in Michigan. It’s a residential program for single parents that allows them to live on campus yearround with their children and provides easy access to the university’s on-campus child care facility. Walker, 18, can’t wait. The Southfield teen is finishing up high school this spring and is waiting to hear whether she’ll be accepted into the program. She wants to study nursing. “Me and my child need a better future,” she said. Elise Buggs remembers what it was like to be a single parent in college. That’s why she’s so passionate about her job as director of a new program at Eastern Michigan University that will provide housing, support and services for up to 10 single parents and their children. Buggs was 19 and a University of Michigan student when she had her son. “Even when I couldn’t see that I was going to be successful, being surrounded by people who could see it in me pushed and motivated me. I think that’s so important and critical. That’s why I’m really excited,” she said. EMU is launching Keys to Degrees as a way to reach out to what officials say is an underserved population — single parents — who often feel disengaged from college. They are also less likely to receive a college degree, and more likely to live in poverty. “The purpose ... is to provide what I consider a dream deferred,” said Lynette Findley, EMU assistant vice president for retention and student success. “They still have an opportunity to get an education. For them to know there’s still hope — that’s what’s wonderful about this program.” There are few programs like it. The Higher Education Alliance for Residential Single Parent Programs lists just seven colleges nationwide that have programs that house single parents and their children on campus through a targeted program. One of the seven is Endicott College, located in Beverly, a Boston suburb.

Condom features Gene Simmons’ unfurled tongue THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — A condom maker is taking the truism “sex sells” very literally. A new line of the contraceptives puts advertising not just on the wrapper, but the latex itself. Graphic Armor Inc.’s new Picture Condoms meet all FDA requirements and it claims they’re the first to feature full-color images on the latex. They’re

starting with a condom branded with the rock band KISS that shows Gene Simmons’ tongue unfurled. Another KISS version featuring bandmate Paul Stanley is slated for June. Adam Glickman, chief executive officer of condom retailer Condomania, says the creators are in talks with entertainment companies, energy drinks and designers to put logos and messages on the condoms. They come in a three-pack for $7.99.

News Briefs Anti-union law to take effect March 26

Man gets 2 to 7 years for burning puppy

MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin’s Secretary of State said he will not publish a bill taking away public workers’ collective bargaining rights until the latest day possible. Secretary of State Doug La Follette said Monday that he decided to publish the law on March 25 to give schools and other local governments time to pass contract extensions between now and then. The law will take effect March 26. Gov. Scott Walker signed the bill Friday and had asked La Follette to publish the law, the final step needed in order for it to take effect, on Monday. But La Follette said he saw no emergency that would necessitate him doing that.

PHILADELPHIA — A man accused of pouring rubbing alcohol on his family’s puppy and setting it on fire in front of his children has been sentenced to two to seven years in prison. John Fleet III pleaded no contest Friday in Common Pleas Court to animal cruelty, child endangerment and corrupting a minor. He told Judge Charles Cunningham III that he was under stress and “took it out on the dog.” The deal bars Fleet from contact with his children. The January 2010 abuse left the dog with minor facial scarring.

U.S. sued over 1940s syphilis experiments WASHINGTON — Guatemalans subjected to U.S. syphilis experiments in the 1940s are suing federal health officials to compensate them for health problems they have suffered. The lawsuit comes after revelations that U.S. scientists studying the effects of penicillin in the 1940s deliberately infected about 700 Guatemalan prisoners, mental patients, soldiers and orphans. None was informed or gave consent. The Guatemalan experiments were hidden for decades, until a medical historian uncovered the records in 2009.

According to a criminal complaint, he had arranged mannequins in a sex act and plastered every flat surface with pictures.

Human tragedy worsens with radiation leak

JAY ALABASTER and TODD PITMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TAGAJO, Japan — Masashi Imai wrapped his arms around the wheelchair that held his disabled wife and clung on with all his strength. Their home lurched and swayed as the ground fell away. The power went out. Imai switched on his wire radio and heard the warning. Then came the deluge. Imai picked up his wife’s limp body, cradled it and carried her to the second floor. “Father! Father!” screamed a girl from a neighboring house. Imai’s wife, who has mental problems after two strokes, began to laugh. Many of Imai’s neighbors had nowhere to run, because their houses had only one story. Eventually, the girl’s voice went silent. In the most powerful earthquake ever recorded in Japan, the line between life and death proved very thin — just one story high, in Imai’s case, or little more than a bus length away from the resulting tsunami. Even along the killing zone of the northeastern coast, some buildings and neighborhoods were spared while others were obliterated. The death toll was feared to be higher than 10,000. Worse yet, authorities were facing a nuclear catastrophe. Radiation spewed today from a crippled nuclear power plant in tsunami-ravaged northeastern Japan in a dramatic escalation of the four-day-old catastrophe that prompted the government to tell people within 19 miles to stay indoors to avoid exposure. In a televised statement, Prime Minister Naoto Kan said radiation has spread from four reactors of the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant in Fukushima province that was one of the hardest-hit in Friday’s magnitude 9.0 earthquake there is still a very high risk of more Japan has faced since the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagaradiation coming out,” Kan said. and the ensuing tsunami. saki during World War II. This is the worst nuclear crisis “The level seems very high, and

Kan warned there are dangers of more leaks and told people living within 19 miles of the Fukushima Dai-ichi complex to stay indoors to avoid radiation sickness. Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said a fourth reactor at the complex was on fire and more radiation had been released. He said the reactor, even though it was unoperational, was believed to be the source of the elevated radiation release because of the hydrogen release that triggered the fire. “Now we are talking about levels that can damage human health.

These are readings taken near the area where we believe the releases are happening. Far away, the levels should be lower,” he said. “Please do not go outside. Please stay indoors. Please close windows and make your homes airtight. Don’t turn on ventilators. Please hang on your laundry indoors,” he said. “These are figures that potentially affect health, there is no mistake about that,” he said. He said a reactor whose containment building caught fire Monday has not contributed greatly to the increased radiation. The radiation level around one of the reactors stood at 400,000 microsiverts per hour, four times higher than the safe level. Officials said 50 workers are still there trying to put water into the reactors to cool them. They say 800 other nonessential staff were evacuated The death toll from the quake and tsunami jumped today as police confirmed the number killed had topped 2,400, though that grim news was overshadowed by a deepening nuclear crisis. Officials have said previously that at least 10,000 people may have died in Miyagi province alone. Hundreds of dead have washed ashore on Japan’s devastated northeast coast since the earthquake and tsunami. Funeral homes and crematoriums are overwhelmed, and officials have run out of body bags and coffins. Miyagi prefecture bore the full force of Friday’s tsunami, and police said 1,000 bodies were found scattered across its coast. The Kyodo news agency reported that 2,000 bodies washed up on two shorelines in Miyagi. Most Japanese opt to cremate their dead, and with so many bodies, the government waived a rule requiring permission first from local authorities before cremation.

March to greatness Now that they’re in, the Spartans like their chances

DAVID MAYO FOR GREAT LAKES BAY EDITION

EAST LANSING — Michigan State had to sweat out its 14th consecutive NCAA tournament appearance through 38 minutes of the televised selection show, but when the Spartans’ name was called, and their first-weekend pairings were revealed — beginning with a Thursday game, in Tampa, against UCLA — they decided it was worth the wait. The overriding sentiment among the 19-14 Spartans wasn’t that they were lucky to be in the tournament, or any feeling whatsoever about their No. 10 seed in the Southeast Regional. It was that they like their chances to win and advance. “We know what it takes to get to the Final Four,” Delvon Roe said. “We’ve done it, not once

Michigan fans spent the last week fretting about whether their team would get a berth in the NCAA tournament. They did that with flying colors, defying the prognosticators that had them as a ten seed at best. U-M ended up earning an eight seed and will take on ninth-seeded Tennessee on Friday. Now that the Wolverines are in the top half of the West Region, the thoughts have gone from “do we get in” to “can we win a game?” The answer is a resounding yes. Looking at the resume of the Volunteers might give some U-M fans a reason to worry, but you have to look deeper. Yes, they gave pretty good thumpings to both See MICHIGAN, B2

AUBURN — After a 38-year history of struggles, nobody packs more shockability than the Bay City Western boys basketball team. And in a can’t-be kind of season, the Warriors just notched the no-way win of a lifetime. With a stunning turn of events from last month’s 32-point defeat, Western delivered a hard-tobelieve 55-47 upset of No. 4-ranked Saginaw High in the Class A regional semifinal Monday. Fresh off their first district championship in 20 years, the Warriors (22-2) find themselves on the doorstep of the program’s first regional crown when they host Clarkston (19-5) in Wednesday’s 7 p.m. title game. And who can doubt them now? “I’ve been playing with these guys since fourth grade and I have all the confidence in the world in every one of them,” Western senior David Kolanek said amid the on-court chaos. “There was not one bit of doubt in our locker room before the game, and that’s why we won. Everybody believed.” The Warriors were a vision of pure confidence from the outset — despite the fact that Western had been outscored by Saginaw High by an average margin of 28 points per game while going 0-17 in the series since 1994, and despite the fact that Saginaw rolled to a 60-28 rout on Feb. 18. “We had something to prove from last game,” Kolanek said. “We were going to show them who we really are and leave here with no regrets.” Western bolted to an 11-0 lead that instantly signaled the game was on. Matt Costello scored 13 first-quarter points as the Warriors led 17-6 through one. The margin grew to 33-20 at halftime and went to 39-22 with 4:57 left in the third. But, as everyone anticipated, Saginaw made a charge. The pressure defense that dominated Western in the first matchup finally started kicking into See WARRIORS, B4

From B1 —

MICHIGAN The Volunteers’ SEC tournament loss is a blueprint for how the Wolverines can beat them

Villanova and top-seed Pitt, but those victories came at the very beginning of the season when they started 7-0. Tennessee has fallen apart since that point. The Vols have just four wins in their last 11 games. That includes losses at home to Alabama and Mississippi State. Plus, don’t forget the home loss that started their downward spiral — a setback to Oakland University

Williams was voted the SEC Sixth Man of the Year, and can certainly hurt you on the glass, but is not much of an offensive threat. On top of that, he missed the end of the regular season with a back injury. In their SEC Tourney loss to Florida, the perfect game plan to beat Tennessee was revealed. After a pretty pedestrian first half, the Gators came out firing. The Volunteers were run all

over the court and reverted to clutching and grabbing to slow Florida down. It’s an offense that coach John Beilein has been running all season long with U-M. With the consistency in which the Wolverines have been playing defense, and with their uptick in points in the paint over the last couple months, this looks like a match-up that should favor the Wolverines.

VIERA, Fla. — The Tigers’ excellent spring pitching has not surprised Victor Martinez. “That’s why I came over here,” Martinez said after hitting his first home run for the Tigers in a 4-2 exhibition victory over the Washington Nationals. “I saw the team had great talent and a great pitching staff and they’re young. And to be that young and know what they’re doing out there, that’s impressed me.” Rick Porcello impressed him Monday, and vice versa. “We’re still trying to get used to each other, but I really like him behind the plate,” said Porcello, who gave up one run on five hits in 4 2/3 innings. “He’s extremely positive, which for me, as a pitcher, I like a lot. Obviously he’s been around for a number of years, so he’s got a feel for what pitches to throw. The biggest thing is there’s a guy back there that I trust. When he puts down a pitch, I’ve got confidence that’s what I’m going to go with. He knows the league pretty well.” The 32-year-old Martinez has been in the American League for nine years, mostly in Cleveland before the last year and a half in Boston. It remains to be seen how many

DETROIT — Detroit Red Wings coach Mike Babcock soon will have a luxury he hasn’t experienced all season — a healthy 23-man roster. With it, comes tougher lineup decisions. Defenseman Brian Rafalski will return to the lineup Wednesday at home against the Washington Capitals, after missing eight games with back spasms. Goaltender Chris Osgood was activated from injured reserve on Monday. Babcock said he hadn’t decided when Osgood will play. Right wing Patrick Eaves also is available for Wednesday’s game, after sitting out nine games with a groin injury. The only player who likely won’t be available the next two games is defenseman Ruslan Salei, who returned to California to be with his expectant wife. Rafalski, who was paired with Jakub Kindl in Monday’s practice, will provide a boost on the top power-play unit. “It’ll help us all over,” Babcock said. “I think he’s one of the best defensemen in the league, and if he can be healthy we’re a way better hockey club. We’ve been playing faster, but we play way faster when Rafi’s in because the puck gets going so much.” Rafalski’s power-play partner, Nicklas Lidstrom, said: “Having that right-hand shot, you can use him on one-timers or (passing) back and

• For more coverage, go AUBURN to mlive.com/pistons HILLS — The three teams the Detroit Pistons faced last week during an 0-3 road trip shot the lights out. That is nothing new for opponents of the Pistons this season. Opposing teams are shooting 48.4 percent from the field this season against the Pistons, the highest shooting percentage allowed by any NBA team. The Pistons have not allowed opponents to shoot a higher percentage from the field in 25 seasons. The 1985-86 Pistons allowed opponents to shoot 49.2 percent yet still managed to finish the season 46-36 (.561). This year’s Pistons are 23-44 (.343) heading into Wednesday’s game against Toronto. “We worked hard on it and the guys got after it,” Pistons coach John Kuester said Monday after practice. “We’ve just got to continue to improve on it.” Tracy McGrady said the key to playing good defense is trying to play good defense. “(It’s an) effort thing,” Tracy McGrady said. “That’s what defense is about. It’s an effort thing. Everybody can play defense. You just have to want it.” The Pistons hit a new low during their three-game road trip against San Antonio, Oklahoma City and Denver. Those teams combined to shoot 56.7 percent (127-for224), and the Pistons lost all three games. The Spurs made their first 14 shots Wednesday in a 111-104 victory. The Nuggets made their first eight shots Saturday on their way to a 131-101 rout of the Pistons. Ben Wallace did not play during the road trip and has not played since Feb. 23, three days prior to taking a nine-day absence from the team due to the death of his oldest brother. “You’ve got to communicate and talk to each other, but you’ve got to put in a lot of effort,” he said. “Defense doesn’t come easy.”

Seminary holds off Akron-Fairgrove for regional win

GREAT LAKES BAY EDITION

FAIRGROVE — It wasn’t pretty, but Michigan Lutheran Seminary did what it needed to keep its historic season alive — win. The Cardinals took on AkronFairgrove in the Class D regional semifinal and held off a furious comeback attempt by the Vikings late in the fourth to move on with a 55-43 win. It marks the first appearance in a regional championship for the Cardinals (19-4) since 1986, when they made it all the way to the state quarterfinals. “It was an ugly, ugly win for us,” MLS junior Austin Head said. “We know we can play better, we just have to execute.” While the Cardinals’ historic season continues in the regional final Wednesday against Burton Genesee Christian, AF’s historic season comes to a close. At 13-10 overall and 9-4 in the North Central Thumb League, the Vikings completed their first winning season since 1994 and won their first district championship since 1991. MLS employed a stingy press defense early. That, combined with a nervous Vikings’ squad, helped the Cardinals open up a 13-5 lead after one. "We came out nervous,” AF

From B1 —

point guard Brett Stockton said. “We fell behind by a lot of points, and that made it hard to come back.” Stockton did his best to fuel the comeback by scoring the Vikings’ first five points and pouring in nine of his game-high 18 points in the first half as AF went into the intermission trailing 27-15. “Our offensive execution wasn’t there,” Moore said. “We were kind of timid off the bat.” That nervousness switched hands in the second half as MLS struggled and AF made a run. The Vikings began to find an offensive rhythm and not only narrowed the gap, but made it a game when they brought it to 31-23. Todd Brassow responded with a couple buckets, and the Cardinals collected themselves to push their lead back to double digits at 39-29 heading into the final quarter. AF began to show some life and cut it to 41-37 after Stockton and Tyler Crane nailed a pair of 3pointers with 5:51 remaining, but that was as close as it would get. Head led the way for the Cardinals with 13 points and eight rebounds, while Brassow finished with 11 points and four boards.

Boys basketball regional semifinals Buena Vista 94, Harbor Beach 51:

Buena Vista buried six 3-pointers during a 34-point second quarter that gave the Knights all the momentum they would need in a Class C regional semifinal victory on Monday at Reese. Buena Vista (17-5) meets New Haven (17-7) at 7 p.m. Wednesday. Leading 15-13 after one quarter, Buena Vista went on a 14-2 run to start the second quarter, thanks to three straight 3-pointers and a steal and layup from senior George Goodman, who scored 17 of his game-high 27 points in the second quarter. Buena Vista had five players score in double figures as Malik Houston had 18 points, Dwayne Farris 14, Derrick Washington 13 and George Smithers 10. New Haven 65, Nouvel CC 54: Nouvel never found an answer inside for New Haven senior Robert Farr, who scored a game-high 28 points with 18 rebounds, four blocked shots and four steals to hand the Panthers an 11-point loss in the Class C regional-semifinal round Monday at Reese. Nouvel (12-11) also couldn’t take advantage of its trips to the free-throw line, converting just 2 of 12. Tony Purifoy finished with a team-high 17 points, 11 rebounds, six blocked shots and two steals, while Trevor Bohnoff added 10 points.

Hemlock 60, Fremont 40: Rebounding and defense were the winning formula for Hemlock, which defeated Fremont 60-40 in a Class B regional semifinal on Monday at Central Montcalm. Hemlock outrebounded Fremont, which featured three players 6-5 or above. The 18-6 Huskies move on to face Muskegon Heights at 7 p.m. Wednesday. “They beat Arthur Hill,” Bauer said. “They’re super talented. Their losses are to Class A teams. Based on pure talent, their probably one of the top five teams in the state.” Hemlock opened with a 20-8 lead after one quarter to set the tone. T.J. Vondette led the winners with 14 points and three blocks, while Adam Wendling followed with 13 and eight rebounds. Ithaca 59, Grand Rapids Covenant Christian 41: Ithaca advanced to face Muskegon West Michigan Christian in Wednesday’s 7 p.m. regional final at Ravenna with the victory over Grand Rapids Covenant Christian in Monday’s semifinal round. Charles Schnetzler made four 3-pointers and all six of his freethrow attempts to lead Ithaca (18-6) with 18 points and was followed by Lucas Slater with 16 and David Brown with 12.

And when Saginaw went wild for eight points in a 1:06 stretch on three buckets by Marquavis Ford and one from Tommie McCune, the Trojans had their first lead at 43-40 and looked to have swung the tide. But Western had another surprise. A 3-pointer from the corner by Aaron Tithof stopped the bleeding for the Warriors and a slam dunk by Brandon Havercamp drew things even at 45-45. Amazingly, Saginaw (19-4) would go the next 4:13 without a point as Western dominated the decisive stretch run with 11 straight points. “We started fast, and that was important for our confidence,” Western coach Chris Watz said. “We hit ’em’ first then got a chance to see how they responded for once. “The big thing (after Saginaw’s comeback) was we didn’t fold. When Aaron Tithof hit that 3-pointer, that told his teammates that we were not going away.” Costello finished with 18 points and joined Havercamp with 12

rebounds for Western while Ryan Haag had 12 points and nine rebounds. Tyler Ellis added 11 points and Tithof had nine. Saginaw got 19 points from Ford and 12 from McCune but couldn’t get any consistent offense going against Western’s zone defense. “We forced the tempo in the third quarter and early in the fourth, but they persevered,” Saginaw coach Lou Dawkins said. “We had them on the ropes, but they bounced back. “Anybody can be beat, and that was proved at this time right here.” In a matchup of a tradition-rich Saginaw — winner of 18 regional and four state championships in the last 40 years — against a traditionpoor Western, it was the Warriors who delivered in can’t-be fashion as they have all year. “My first question after the district was ‘Now what do you think?’ And they said ‘We’ve got more work to do.’ They were not satisfied,” said Watz, the fourth-year Western coach. “Now we’re coming back tomorrow for another practice.”

SPARTANS ‘It’s time to win a championship’

but twice. I think we have another good shot again, actually, with all the cards we’ve been dealt, to get a 10th seed and get the type of bracketing, and placement in the tournament, that we got.” The Spartans face No. 7 seed UCLA (22-10), college basketball’s all-time leader in national championships with 11, in a second-round game at the St. Pete Times Forum in Tampa. Tipoff is set for 9:20 p.m. on TBS. The winner will play the winner between No. 2 seed Florida and No. 15 seed California-Santa Barbara on Saturday, for the right to advance to the regional semifinals in New Orleans. “As far as the tournament, as far as our draw, we got a good draw,” Kalin Lucas said. “Now, we’ve just got to go in and take care of business. It’s time to win a championship. That’s how I feel. “I feel like we can get there. We’re going to take one game at a time, one weekend at a time, but I think it’s up for grabs. We’ve played the Dukes, the Connecticuts, who are supposed to be some of the top teams in the country. Now, it’s time to go get it and get these wins.” The Spartans open the tournament against the Pacific-10 regular-season runner-up. UCLA was 13-5 in one of the weaker Big Six conferences. If the Pac-10 wasn’t the weakest among the Big Six, the Southeastern Conference was. Florida (26-6) had the SEC’s best regularseason record at 13-3. The results of the conference tournaments gave MSU a measure of where it fits nationally. The Spartans beat the Pacific-10 winner (Washington), should have beaten the Big East winner (Connecticut), played within five points of the Atlantic Coast Conference winner in a true road game (Duke), and lost to the Big 12 runner-up (Texas).

“For the most part, we played them all within reason,” MSU coach Tom Izzo said. “They were games, they weren’t blowouts.” The Spartans entered the final two weeks of the season amid questions of whether they would extend the nation’s third-longest active tournament streak. They were the 64th team shown — but the 63rd team called, in a CBS announcing glitch — on the selection show. Former Saginaw High standout Draymond Green said waiting so long, with such doubts surrounding the last fortnight, was “different — not the norm.” “Not something that we’re used to, and not something that we’re trying to get used to,” Green said. The other pod in Tampa will have four teams playing for a berth in the East Regional semifinals in Newark, with No. 5 seed West Virginia playing the winner of a No. 12 play-in game between Alabama-Birmingham and Clemson, and No. 4 Kentucky playing No. 13 Princeton. The 68 tournament teams are vying for a trip to the Final Four, April 2 and 4 at Reliant Stadium in Houston. MSU has appeared in the past two Final Fours, and six in the past 12 years. Seven Big Ten teams qualified for the sixth time in conference history, along with 1990, 1994, 1999, 2001 and 2009. “I’m happy for some of my counterparts that were probably sweating it out, like I was,” Izzo said. Izzo’s mastery of the two-day turnaround is why the Spartans often overachieve in the postseason. “The NCAA tournament is about matchups, it’s about focus and preparation,” he said. “If you can do that for a short period of time, and go win a couple weekends, one at a time, that’s what it’s all about.”

player, Josh Southern, will play in the NIT for Boston College. The Eagles take on McNeese State in tonight’s first round game. Southern, a 6-10 center, averages 6.2 points per game this season. In the women’s NCAA Tournament, fourth-seeded Michigan State will meet No. 13 Northern Iowa in the Dallas Region for its opener at approximately 7:45 p.m. Sunday in Wichita, Kan. The 26-5 Spartans, who won the Big Ten’s regular-season title, will make their third straight tournament appearance under former Central Michigan standout player and Saginaw Valley State coach Suzy Merchant’s four-year tenure.

Spitz, an AllStater on beam and bars as a freshman last season, accomplished her goal of becoming All-State in the all–around with Taylor Spitz an eighth-place score of 36.75 in the Division 1 event. She repeated last year’s All-State performance on bars, finishing eighth with a 9.125 and added a new event to her All-State résumé with a sixth-place effort of 9.3 on vault. “She had a very good season and she’ll be ready to go for more next year,” said Freeland coach Suzy Weldon, while adding that Spitz placed in four out of five events after top 10 finishes in just two of them last year. Junior Shelby Niedzwiecki earned All-State honors for the first time in three years of competition at the state finals with a sixth-place score of 9.3 on floor. “She didn’t know what to expect, but when she heard her name there was excitement from her, from the fans and from me as the coach,” said Weldon of Niedzwiecki, who also competed on vault, scoring an 8.9. Junior Lauren Schafer also qualified for the meet and scored an 8.8 on floor. Freeland’s Kyla Krygier was named Assistant Coach of the Year by the state’s judges and coaches.

News Briefs Offenders to scrub London tunnels before wedding LONDON — With British government budgets tight across the board, perhaps it’s no surprise officials plan to utilize convicted offenders’ free labor to help clean up London for the big day. The offenders, convicted of minor offenses, are to scrub the grimy pedestrian tunnels at the Hyde Park Corner tube station that is expected to be used by thousands of people hoping to get close to Westminster Abbey or Buckingham Palace on April 29, when Prince William weds Kate Middleton. Officials said Monday the cleanup plan is part of a program that puts offenders to work on local projects to benefit the community. Warden Ravi Kumar said the cleanup will make the heavily trafficked subway station tunnels much more presentable to the thousands of visitors expected. “Using the scheme seemed perfect as it is a great example of people paying back their community and contributing something beneficial following their conviction,” said Kumar. The station is close to Buckingham Palace and the processional route the royal couple will follow.

Hatch turns himself in to begin 9-month term PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Reality TV star Richard Hatch has presented himself to U.S. marshals in Rhode Island to begin a nine-month prison sentence for failing to pay taxes on the $1 million he won on the first season of the CBS show “Survivor.” Hatch arrived at U.S. District Court in Providence just after noon Monday, clad in a blue sweat suit. Hatch maintains his innocence and says he hopes to be released soon. He has appealed to the 1st Richard Hatch U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston. Hatch, who lives in Newport, R.I., is currently appearing on NBC’s “The Celebrity Apprentice.” He spent three years in prison for tax evasion before being released in 2009. He was ordered to refile his 2000 and 2001 taxes and pay what he owed. He never did.

Beckham spokesman says couple expecting baby girl LOS ANGELES — Team Beckham is adding a girl to its roster. Soccer great David Beckham and wife Victoria are expecting their fourth child, and a spokesman said Sunday that the couple has learned that it will be a girl. In January the former England captain announced via Facebook that his wife was due this summer. The pair, who married in 1999, already has three boys: 11-year-old Brooklyn, 8-year-old Romeo, and David Beckham 5-year-old Cruz. The 35-year-old Beckham captained England’s national team from 2000 to 2006. He played for Manchester United and Real Madrid before joining Major League Soccer club Los Angeles Galaxy in 2007. Thirty-six-year-old Victoria Beckham found fame as a singer for 1990s girl band the Spice Girls and has since become a fixture of the fashion circuit.

Comedian Gallagher released from Minnesota hospital ROCHESTER, Minn. — Gallagher’s manager says the comedian has been released from a Minnesota hospital where he was treated for a minor heart attack. The 64-year-old Gallagher collapsed in the middle of a show Thursday night at Whiskey Bone’s Roadhouse in Rochester. Manager Craig Marquado says Gallagher was released Sunday morning from St. Marys Hospital, which is part of the Mayo Clinic. He says the comedian was heading home to Los Angeles to see his own doctors. Marquado says Gallagher also suffered a heart attack about 10 years ago. He says Gallagher should be able to resume performing as soon as he feels up to it. Gallagher, whose real name is Leo Anthony Gallagher, is best known for smashing watermelons with a sledgehammer.

Shocking footage from Japan, as seen by cable news Chicken Littles

HANK STUEVER THE WASHINGTON POST

American TV viewers and Web surfers (there is no distinction anymore) awoke Friday to horrifying aerial footage from Japan’s northeastern coastline. One of the biggest earthquakes in a century had triggered a sludge-filled tsunami. Little stops us in our digital tracks anymore, but tsunamis sure do. Engorged with flaming debris, the wave oozed its way across neighborhoods, highways, an airport terminal and vast farm fields, picking up cars, boats, planes — and these images oozed across media platforms, as well. Old-fashioned TV-in-the-morning viewers may have first caught this, along with transfixing video of a boat aswirl in a whirlpool, on the Weather Channel, anticipating their Local on the 8s. As any regular viewer knows, the Weather Channel increasingly considers itself a full-service news operation — part Anderson Cooper, part Doppler Dan, part Chicken Little — and yet the channel also remains fixed on its primary directive, which is to deliver the weather in a more proximate way. Thus, the network found itself oddly toggling between some snow in the upper Midwest, floodwaters in New Jersey, and the specter of “hundreds of bodies” reported to be floating in the wreckage of Sendai. This attention-deficit disorder was evident most of the day, on all the channels. TV coverage of Japan’s disaster was a strange lesson in media magnitude theory: Unlike the devastating tsunami of 2004 and the Haitian earthquake last year, in which the mathematics of despair are calculated in direct proportion to poverty and infrastructure, Friday’s calamity occurred in a place (and to a society) where they build things to withstand. The disaster happened in the middle of an afternoon in the very birthplace of the personal video device, guaranteeing that we’ve perhaps so far seen just a fraction of the shaking and flooding and burning clips that will make their way online and onto TV in the coming hours and days. When the 2004 tsunami hit, almost everything we knew of it — visually — came many hours after the initial

This time, a surfeit of video not only mesmerized, it also reassured. In other words, if there’s video coming out this quickly, then the people who are sending it are okay. That made it difficult to get a fix on how such a strong quake (9.0 on the Richter scale) didn’t look somehow worse. Not that the networks didn’t try to personalize it themselves. CNN has a meteorologist and severe-weather guy, Chad Myers, who treats his weather map much the same way Glenn Beck treats a chalkboard, which means he treats his viewers like

a bunch of idiots. Rather than calmly provide information, Myers filled the day with unhinged, even testy, seismological explanations and impossible-to-follow metaphors. A tsunami (or the shore?) is “like a catcher’s mitt,” “like a banana”; the wave starts “like a rock thrown in a pond” and then it is not like a rock a thrown in the pond, not when you consider “the crescent, the catcher’s mitt!” He spoke to us as if we were not listening to him — the gesticulating, the spitting, the dire warnings. “I don’t want to sound like Chicken Little here,” he said at one point. He did, though.

When friends clash, both deserve some of the blame Adapted from a recent online discussion. Dear Carolyn: I have been friends with a neighbor for almost a year. We have a lot in common, and so our friendship has become very tight. We also have a lot of clashing opinions, however, and it’s hard not to be insulting when she says something I feel is blithely ignorant or one-sided. She also has a tendency to try to manipulate others into doing her will. I’m not one to be steamrolled, but I really don’t like being told that it’s time for me to leave a group CAROLYN activity because she has to Hax get up early, or that I should order X or Y when I said I was ordering Z. I know she doesn’t mean to be so selfabsorbed, but I hate being told what to do, especially by someone who claims her central philosophy in life is live and let live. Do I just go on pretending it doesn’t bother me and doing my own thing, or should I make a thing of it? — Friendly boundaries The problem isn’t just that your friend tells people what to do — it’s also that you bristle at being told what to do. Please look at this as a problem with two halves, one of which you’re holding in your hand. Knowing where your two personalities clash is a lot more productive, I think, than looking at someone else as the problem. It allows you to adjust your own behavior by predicting conflict and preparing a response beforehand that involves neither sparring nor “pretending.” For example, just a smile plus “Thanks, but I’d rather order Z.” I might also humbly suggest you became too friendly too quickly. Having things in common can move things faster than our conflict sensors can handle. If you can’t adapt your way around your friction points, you might just have to speak up — but remember not to point fingers at her, and instead treat each “side” neutrally and without judgment. Hi, Carolyn: My first baby is due soon. Having had a ton of baby-sitting experience with my niece and nephews, I thought I was prepared. Then I agreed to care for my nephew for six straight days, and boy was that a rude awakening. It truly scared the crap out of me because I’m on the parenting train and it’s too late to get off. Any hope that love for my firstborn will outweigh some of the horrors I now know I’m set to experience? — Massachusetts Expect it. There will still be days that you’re sure will never ever end, but your sense of long-term investment is everything here. When it’s your child, for almost every parent, even the horrors come wrapped in a blanket of fierce love. Re: The expectant mom: Keep in mind that you went from no kids to six straight days with one. That’s a big switch. When you have your own baby, you’ll get used to having a child around all the time. It’s hard in the beginning, but you do adjust. Good luck and enjoy your baby! — Anonymous Thanks. There’s no adjustment period for your own baby, either — you get home and you’re in it, 24-7 — but newborns, while demanding, demand simple things. Warmth, food, clean bottoms, love. E-mail Carolyn at tellme@washpost.com, follow her on Facebook at www.facebook.com/carolyn.hax or chat with her online at noon each Friday at www.washingtonpost.com.

ASTROLOGY TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (03/15/11). Accept your inquisitive mind and keep asking questions. Even if you don’t ever ﬁnd “the answer,” the inquiry contributes. This year, you can question everything, even your own thoughts. Feel free to accept from others, even as you query. To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 9 — Creativity ﬂows today. It’s time to leave your comfort zone and take risks in business and relationships. Question who you think you are, and invent something new. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7 — Part of you wants to be social. Part of you wants to stay home and reminisce about the past.

Perhaps you can do both. Be true to yourself. GEMINI (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 9 — Today offers many possibilities in ﬁnances, love and friendship. Communication channels are open for breakthroughs. Conditions are favorable. Take a risk. CANCER (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 9 — It’s a perfect day for business and money decisions. Be open to constructive criticism, both in the work place and in your love life. Appreciate your luck. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 9 — Go for it! You can see clearly now, and dreams inspire you forward. Share them with the world and share them with your partner. Otherwise it could be lonely at the top. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 6

— Get plenty of rest. You may feel like you need some change. It will be revealed when and where you least expect it. Did you look under the sofa cushions? LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 9 — You have everything going for you today. Work towards a passionate cause. Don’t forget to bring others along for the ride (or the run). Choose wisely. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 9 — Grow your career and your capacities. Physical exercise improves memory. Focus on what’s important to you. Run, walk or ride a mile, then use your brain. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 7 — Clear up misunderstandings and ask for help if you need it. You have willing

allies close by. Create excitement with a new creative pursuit. Get others to play along. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is an 8 — Honesty, tact and diplomacy are the skills to trot out now, in love, at work and at home. It’s a good day for business partnerships with clearly deﬁned roles. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is an 8 — Don’t be afraid to look in the mirror. Look deeper than your skin. Consider what’s most meaningful in your life, but don’t get lost there. Spring into action. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is an 8 — “Ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country.” The words of JFK ﬁt you perfectly today. Put your energy into community action.
