Supreme Court: Mich. affirmative ban is OK THE VOICE OF THE PECOS VALLEY
Vol. 123, No. 98 75¢ Daily / $1.25 Sunday
WA S HI NG T ON ( AP ) — A state’s voters are free to outlaw the use of race as a factor in co l le g e ad m i s s i on s, the Supreme Court ruled Tuesday in a blow to affirmative action t h a t al so la id b a r e t en s i on s among the justices about a continuing need for programs that ad d r e ss r aci a l in e q ua l i ty i n America.

wanting to wish away inequality. The ruling bolsters similar voter -approved initiatives banning affirmative action in education in California and Washington state. A few other states have adopted laws or issued executive orders to bar raceconscious admissions policies. Justice Anthony Kennedy said v ot er s i n M ic h i ga n c ho se t o eliminate racial preferences, p r e s um a b ly b ec au se su ch a system could give rise to raceb as e d r es e n tm e n t. K e nn edy said nothing in the Constitution or the court’s prior cases gives judges the authority to undermine the election results.

“This case is not about how the debate about racial preferences should be resolved. It is ab ou t wh o m ay r esol ve it ,” Kennedy said. He str essed that the court was not disturbing the holding of a 2003 case from Michigan — wh ich gave r i se t o t h e 20 06 Constitution change — permitting the consideration of race in admissions. A Texas affirmative action case decided in June also did nothing to undermine that principle, Kennedy said. In a separate opinion siding with Kennedy, Justice Antonin Scalia said Michigan residents favored a colorblind constitution and “it would be shameful
for us to stand in their way.” Strongly dissenting from the m ajor it y , Ju s tice S on i a Sotomayor said the decision t ra mp l ed on t h e r igh t s of m in or i ti es , even t h ou gh t h e M ich i gan am en d m en t w as adopted democratically. “But without checks, democratically approved legislation can oppress minority groups,” said Sotomayor, who read her dissent aloud in the courtroom Tuesday. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg sided with Sotomayor. Michigan voters “changed the b asic r u l es of t h e p olit ical process in that state in a manner that uniquely disadvantaged racial minorities,” Sotomayor
said. Judges “ought not sit back an d wish away, r at h er t h an confront, the racial inequality that exists in our society,” she said. She is one of two justices, along with Clarence Thomas, who have acknowledged that affirmative action was a factor in their college and law school admissions. Sotomayor attended P r in cet on Un iver si ty an d T h om as is a gr ad u at e of t h e College of the Holy Cross. They both attended law school at Yale University.

City officials are moving ahead with plans for constructing public bathrooms downtown, and will soon be looking for bids for the project. During a special joint committee meeting of the Building and Lands and Special Finance committees Tuesday mor ning at Roswell City Hall, city council members and committee members voted to seek bids on bathrooms with three toilets each and with both porcelain and stainless steel fixtures. “We can request bids for both options,” City Manager Larry Fry said, “and then we can decide whether or not we want porcelain or

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — Recently published research describes how archaeologists outfitted a customized drone with a heat-sensing camera to unearth what they believe are ceremonial pits and other features at the site of an ancient village in New Mexico. The discovery of the structures hidden beneath layers of sediment and sagebrush is being hailed as an important step that could help archaeologists shed light on mysteries long buried by eroding desert landscapes from the American Southwest to the Middle East. The results of the research were published earlier this month in the Journal of Archaeological Science.

Since the 1970s, archaeologists have known that aerial images of thermal infrared wavelengths of light could be a power ful tool for spotting cultural remains on the ground. But few have had access to million-dollar satellites, and helicopters and planes have their limits. Now, technology is catching up with demand. Archaeologists can get quality images from very specific altitudes and angles at any time of day and in a range of weather using inexpensive drones and commercially available cameras that

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration said Tuesday it has certified that Egypt is upholding its 35-year-old peace treaty with Israel and therefore qualifies for some military and counterterrorism assistance. “Today, Secretary Kerry spoke with Egyptian Foreign Minister (Nibil) Fahmy to inform him that he is certifying to Congress that Egypt is sustaining the strategic relationship with the United States, including by countering transnational threats such as terrorism and weapons proliferation, and that Egypt is upholding its obligations under the Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty,” department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said in a emailed statement. The decision clears the way for the release of Apache helicopters to Egypt, which the United States has held up since July when the Egyptian military overthrew President Mohammed Morsi and his Mus-
lim Brotherhood-led government. Rep. Kay Granger, R-Texas, the chairwoman of the House Appropriations subcommittee overseeing foreign aid, said in a statement late Tuesday that she was encouraged by the decision to deliver 10 Apache helicopters to the Egyptian military, saying it was a critical time to support Egypt as it moves toward elections and deals with security challenges. “As Egypt continues its transition toward a new democratic government, the United States must work with the government of Egypt and support the Egyptian people,” Granger said. “I have continued to advocate for Egyptians to have the tools necessary to stabilize the economy and keep the country secure, including equipment that assists with counterterrorism operations in the Sinai and other places facing security challenges that pose a threat to Egypt and the region.”
NM roundup: State plans to make payments to workers
SANTA FE (AP) — Thousands of current and past New Mexico state government workers are due to receive payments this summer for back wages in a union contract dispute with the state. The Santa Fe New Mexican reports that the state Department of Finance and Administration says it will start cutting checks for back pay in July. However, the department cautions that the payments to 10,300 past and current employees are subject to what it calls “budget availability.” The department also says 5,700 current employees will receive a corrected hourly pay rate beginning in June. Department spokesman Tim Korte says the payments will cost taxpayers more than $30 million but that the Legislature only appropriated $2.7 million. Korte says agencies are figuring out how to come up with the rest of the money.

NM parents face child abuse charges after crash
BLOOMFIELD (AP) — A New Mexico mother and father are facing charges following a rollover crash that injured four people, including two children. San Juan County sheriff’s deputies say the crash hap-
pened south of Bloomfield on Sunday. Deputies found a woman, a man, a 3-monthold infant and a 3-year-old child when they arrived. They were told two other men had left the scene, including the driver, 28year -old Robert Williams. They say he’s the father of the infant. Deputies have yet to locate Williams. In addition to child abuse charges, he’s facing three counts for allegedly leaving the scene of an accident. The toddler’s mother was identified as 25-year -old Nicole Begay. She was arrested after being released from the hospital. The cause of the crash is under investigation, but deputies say they found evidence of alcohol at the scene.

ABQ police officer fatally shoots woman
ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — A 19-year-old woman suspected of stealing a truck was shot and killed during a chase with Albuquerque police, making her the third person in five weeks to be killed by officers and the first since the department was put under federal orders to reduce the use of deadly force and reform a culture of abuse and aggression. Police Chief Gordon Eden said the shooting occurred Monday morning. “An officer pursued on foot when the suspect stopped, turned and pointed a handgun at close range,” Eden said. Police identified the woman as Mary Hawkes, the daughter of Danny Hawkes, a retired magistrate judge in Valencia County south of Albuquerque. Court records show Mary Hawkes had two previous run-ins with the law as an adult, one for drinking in public and another for
shoplifting, according to the Albuquerque Journal. As a juvenile, she was charged in 2011 with attempted criminal sexual contact of a child under 13. She was convicted of a lesser battery offense and sentenced to two years of probation. Police said the shooting was still being investigated and the department expected to release more information at a news conference Wednesday. The department did identify the officer who fired his gun as Jeremy Dear, who has been with the department since November 2011. The shooting comes just weeks after a series of sometimes violent protests against Albuquerque police, who have shot at 38 people since 2010, killing 24. Of those killed, Hawkes is the first woman. Tension over the department’s use of force escalated last month after police shot and killed a homeless camper in the foothills of the Sandia Mountains during a long standoff. Video from an officer’s helmet showed police fired on the man, James Boyd, 38, as he appeared to be preparing to surrender. Just over a week later, police shot and killed Alfred Redwine, 30, after a standoff.

The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the issue was not affirmative action, but the way in which its opponents went about trying to bar it.

have as much as five times the resolution of those available just a few years ago. A basic eight-rotor drone starts at about $3,700. Jesse Casana, an archaeologist at the University of Arkansas, teamed up with University of North Florida professor John Kantner last summer to test the drones in a remote area of northwestern New Mexico, south of Chaco Canyon — once the cultural and religious center of ancient Puebloan society. Kantner has been studying a village in the area known as Blue J. He found two households at the village’s edge through test digs, but much of Blue J’s secrets remain buried under eroded sandstone and wind-blown silt. Blue J was most active close to 1,000 years ago, around the same time as Chaco. So finding structures such as kivas and great houses at the site would help solidify the theory that Chaco’s influence spread far and wide. Kivas are circular, subterranean meeting places associated with ceremonial activities. Great houses were massive multistory stone buildings, some of which were oriented to solar and lunar directions and offered lines of sight between buildings to allow for communication. Aside from dozens of anthills, the drone picked up on much larger, unnatural circular shapes that are thought to be kivas. From the surface, these structures are invisible, Kantner

said. He said crews can use the drone information to plan a dig at the location to search for the archaeological remnants. “Really within a few hours we were able to survey this area that took me a long time, years of what we call ground reconnaissance and excavation to see what’s below the surface,” he said. “So this is great for quickly and pretty cheaply being able to find sites.” There already is talk about using the drones in other dry environments such as Saudi Arabia and Cyprus, where the difference between daytime and nighttime temperatures would be great enough to allow the heat signatures of buried stone structures or other features to pop up on the thermal images. Some researchers also have suggested using drone technology to search for a lost Spanish fort in Georgia and along the banks of Florida’s St. Johns River, Kantner said. Sarah Parcak, an archaeologist at the University of Alabama in Birmingham who wasn’t involved in the New Mexico research, said she’s excited about the potential for using the technology in her work in Egypt. She said drones outfitted with sensors can hone in on what’s most important in archaeology — the landscape and features that are buried beneath the ground. “We think we know a site, and we’ve been working there for a long time, and lo and behold, new technologies show us things we weren’t even expecting,” Parcak said. “The great thing about remote sensing is it really gives you a new set of eyes in the sky to see what is otherwise invisible.”

Faith in Obamacare, government misplaced A4 Wednesday, April 23, 2014
One of the reasons our political structure has become dysfunctional no matter which party is in power is that too many of us ar e living in the moment. The closest we get to history is the instant replay. It is as if there is nothing the past can teach us; no wisdom that might be culled from those who have gone before. We buy guidebooks, or go online for information about countries or cities we plan to visit, trusting those who have been there to tell us the best places to stay, see and eat. When it comes to more momentous things, like health care, too many people believe government does best, regardless of historical and even contemporary evidence to the contrary. The well-known quote “That government is best which governs least,” often attributed to Henry David Thoreau, has been
OPINION
CAL THOMAS SYNDICATED COLUMNIST
supplanted in our day by the notion that government is my keeper, I shall not want. All of the pr omises about health care “reform” are proving dubious at best. The move from insurance exchanges to single payer to the eventual takeover of the health care industry will happen incr ementally, but inevitably, unless Republicans win back control of government and have the courage to repeal and replace Obamacare with something better. What should awaken apathetic Americans is a story in last
Roswell Daily Record
week’s The New York T imes headlined “Cost of T reatment May Influence Doctors.” The story said some of the country’s largest medical groups are now suggesting that physicians consider cost when tr eating patients. The Times says a subtle shift is taking place within medicine as “doctors are starting to redefine their roles, from being concer ned exclusively about individual patients to exerting influence on how health care dollars are spent.” In other wor ds, ar e you “worth” being treated for cancer or other illnesses that can cost a lot of money? When government pressures health care providers to accept a utilitarian view of human life, it is a short step to government deciding whose life is worth living and whose is not. When the dollar becomes almighty, the Almighty who creates life takes a back seat.
Promises that the misnamed Af for dable Car e Act would reduce costs are already being pr oved wr ong. Health car e spending is surging, according to another New York T imes story. President Obama promised it would decline. We heard similar promises 50 years ago when Medicare was introduced. Politicians then promised costs would never exceed a certain level, which they did in very short order. Critics of Obamacare say one of its objectives is to put insurance companies out of business. The UnitedHealth Group is one of the nation’s largest. It recently reported lower earnings and said the health care law is partially responsible. The “sound of inevitability,” to quote fr om the film “The Matrix,” can be heard across the Atlantic. The National Health Service (NHS) continues to sput-
ter as its experiment in socialized medicine produces horror stories that could be replicated in the United States if government is ever allowed to control not only insurance, but treatment. A UK Daily Mail story tells of a great-grandmother who died in agony at Manchester Royal Infirmary. She suffered from a perforated bowel and while she screamed in pain for help she was told a nearby doctor, who was playing on a computer, “wasn’t on duty.” Stories of neglect, long waits for treatment, insensitivity toward patients and unusual numbers of deaths in some UK hospitals are no longer exceptions, but are increasingly common. Why do so many have faith in government when government has a track record of failure and

EDITORIAL Rep. Dave Camp’s plan would make tax day easier Dave Camp’s pending retirement from Congress may put an end to his long crusade to make common sense of the nation’s tax code, unless someone else takes up the mantle. It would be tragic if the effort is not sustained. Camp, the Midland Republican who chairs the Ways and Means committee, introduced his tax reform package just a few weeks before announcing he won’t seek re-election in the fall. The plan would simplify the tax code for both individuals and businesses and make it an engine for economic growth.
It’s received an indifferent response. Camp’s fellow Republicans, worried about having to defend on the campaign trail the plan’s elimination of popular tax cuts, have almost universally ignored the proposal, the product of three years of serious work. The chances of it seeing passage in this election-year session are nonexistent. That doesn’t change the fact that it’s a solid plan.
The Camp proposal would allow up to 95 percent of individual filers to get the lowest tax rate just by claiming the standard deductions. That would put an end to the last-minute scramble to fill out reams of forms, strain for extra deductions and hunt for receipts, a process many taxpayers endured in advance of the filing deadline. The current, multiple tax brackets would be condensed to just two: 10 percent for most earners and 25 percent for those with high incomes. Lost revenue from the flatter rates would be made up by allowing fewer exemptions, and through the growth the reforms will spur.
Capital gains and investment income would be taxed as regular income, but 40 percent would be exempt from taxation, to encourage investments that are essential to a growing economy.
Other highlights include lifting penalties for corporations that repatriate overseas earnings, expanding research and development credits and a repeal of Obamacare’s onerous medical devices tax.
Senior citizens would have a simpler form under the proposed reforms. It also incentivizes charitable giving.
And, welcome news for beleaguered Michigan motorists, Camp’s plan would divert $1.26 billion to the National Highway Trust Fund to fully finance highway and infrastructure investment.
Nearly everyone in Washington, even at times President Barack Obama, acknowledges the need for a major overhaul of the tax code to make it simpler for individual filers and less burdensome for job creators. But it never happens.
The most likely champions of Camp’s plan after he leaves are Rep. Michael Burgess of Texas and Rep. Rob Woodall of Georgia, who, in the past, have offered bills that contain similar reforms. But their ideas have also failed to gain traction.
Credit Camp for ignoring the impossibility of the task and delivering a reform package that would be fair to both individual and corporate taxpayers, and help grow the economy. It was a good parting gift to the country.
Congress should give the proposal a serious airing before Camp leaves at the end of the year. And if it doesn’t pass this session, another crusader should take up his mission. Reprinted From The Detroit News
Time for decent exposure
Of the 432 members today serving in the U.S. House of Representatives, he is 429th in seniority, having won a special election barely five months ago. But by now, Rep. Vance McAllister, R-La., is known to tabloid readers everywhere as the “Kissing Congressman,” after someone, apparently a staff member, leaked a surveillance video of the married McAllister in his Monroe, La., district office on Dec. 23 amorously kissing a woman congressional employee who is also married. The Republican governor of Louisiana, Bobby Jindal, who has a reputation for being smart, self-inflicted some serious damage on that reputation by calling for McAllister’s resignation from the House because he is “an embarrassment.” You may remember that Louisiana is represented in the Senate by Republican David Vitter who, with his hurting wife next to him, publicly confessed his “very serious sin,” telling the world he had asked for “forgiveness from God and my wife,” after his phone number turned up several times in the phone records of the madame running a Washington prostitution ring.
MARK SHIELDS
SYNDICATED COLUMNIST
Obviously more “embarrassed” by a 30-second video replay of one illicit kiss than by repeated illegal connections with prostitutes, Jindal has continued to enthusiastically endorse Vitter. This reminds me of the Senate’s four-year refusal to seat Republican Reed Smoot, a Mormon leader, who was elected in 1902. In spite of the fact the Mormon church had renounced all future plural marriages in 1890, Protestant groups were adamantly opposing a Mormon in the Senate, even though Smoot was happily married to just one wife. Smoot was finally accepted after Republican Sen. Boies Penrose of Pennsylvania argued: “I would rather have seated beside me in this chamber a polygamist who doesn’t ‘polyg’ than a monogamist who doesn’t ‘monog.’” Personal political scandals
almost always follow the same script. The penitent wrongdoer is diagnosed with some previously unnoticed medical condition and, almost miraculously, undergoes a profound religious experience. This is one reason why I so personally value the late and irrepressibly colorful and able Texas congressman, Charlie Wilson. When it became public that the Justice Department was investigating the use of drugs on Capitol Hill, Wilson, a Democrat, denied he had ever used cocaine and then added that whatever happened, “I won’t blame booze, and I won’t suddenly find Jesus.” When it comes to public penance for personal wrongdoing, no politician has ever rivaled the genuine character of John Profumo, the British secretary of war who consciously lied to the House of Commons by testifying that there had been no impropriety in his relations with a woman named Christine Keeler. The problem was not just that the married Profumo had been sleeping for two years with Keeler, but that Keeler, at the height of the Cold War, was simultaneously sleeping with the Soviet naval
attache in London. The scandal ended Profumo’s then-promising career and helped to bring down Harold Macmillan’s Conservative government. The next 40 years were one long act of personal contrition. The well-born Profumo worked with and for the poor. For four decades at Toynbee Hall, a refuge for the disadvantaged in East London, he was out of public sight. He washed dishes. He cleaned and scrubbed toilets. He helped feed the hungry. He visited prisoners in jail. He raised money to train youth. He used his remaining connections in Parliament to win greater support for housing and schools. And he never once, in all that time, had a press conference or a “media team” to tell us the good he had done or how much he had changed. That, Dear Readers, is called character.

Bits & Pieces: the vets’ cemetery, COLA and dental care LOCAL
Roswell Daily Record
The selection of Carlsbad over Roswell as a designated State/VA veterans cemetery makes sense. The four cities chosen distribute the 75-mile circles of land coverage evenly over the four cor ners of New Mexico. The only area still left with a substantial drive to a veterans cemetery is the Portales/Clovis region. Clovis is 71 miles closer to Roswell than to Carlsbad, and Portales is 61 miles closer to Roswell. As it stands, Clovis vets have to drive 181 miles to Carlsbad, and Portales vets 162 miles. That should make Roswell a viable choice for the next selection of a State/VA veterans cemetery. It’s important to note that in the beginning, the General Douglas L. McBride Veterans’ Cemetery was envisioned to be a city-based, locally gover ned resting place for regional veterans and their qualified families. The previous city administration wanted to take it a level

higher and have it certified as a VA National Cemetery, a goal not feasible based on the VA’s own admission to three of us researching that possibility four years ago. The VA certification route was nevertheless pursued, but not successfully reached. However, nothing ventured, nothing gained. We are still on track with the initial plan for our local project, but with significant advances toward completion. Being realistic, we should be up and running before the four cities selected for the State/VA cemetery designation receive their approval from the VA. Under the State/VA coop plan, the

whole process could take two or three years before financial support begins. We are still on Gov. Martinez’s list for future selection of cities to be deemed NM/VA certified cemeteries. Thanks to State Representatives Bob Wooley, Nora Espinoza and Candy Spence Ezzell, with support from Jane Batson and other “neighbors,” we will be receiving $250,000 this July (and possibly more annually until cemetery completion).

Wondering about those “Cost of Living Increases” for VA compensation and pension benefits? President Obama has signed off on a 1.5% cost-of-living increase for VA compensation and pension benefits that, for the first time in years, ends the practice of rounding down payments. Interestingly, you can’t round down much further before it hits absolute zero.

Purchasing a dental plan does not affect veterans eligibility for VA dental services and treatment.

Now, on the sur face, that really sounds good. However, when you put a pencil to it, you find that even though your groceries have increased by $200$300 a month, and your gas has increased by $38 a month, somehow the extra $51 a month falls a little short in keeping up with the rise in our cost-of-living.
One last thing (warning). If you have a “Disabled Veteran” license plate, it does not authorize you to park in “Handicap” parking spaces. You can apply to the New Mexico MDV for a handicap sticker to place on your veterans specialty plate.

‘Piles and piles’ of bodies in S. Sudan slaughter WORLD
Roswell Daily Record
NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — The townsfolk believed the mosque was safe. They crammed inside as rebel forces in South Sudan took control of the town from government troops. But it wasn’t safe. Robbers grabbed their cash and mobile phones. Then gunmen came and opened fire on everyone, young and old. The U.N. says hundreds of civilians were killed in the massacre last week in Bentiu, the capital of South Sudan’s oil-producing Unity state, a tragic reflection of longstanding ethnic hostilities in the world’s newest country. “Piles and piles” of bodies were left behind after the shootings, said Toby Lanzer, the top U.N. aid official in South Sudan. Many were in the mosque. Others were in the hospital. Still more littered the streets. The violence appears to have been incited in part by calls on the radio for revenge attacks, including rapes. The attack, which targeted members of certain ethnic groups, was a disturbing echo of what happened two decades ago in another country in eastern Africa. Rwanda is marking the 20th anniversary this month of a genocide that killed an estimated 1 million people and also saw orders to kill broadcast over the radio. Thousands of people have been killed in violence in South Sudan

killings, carried out by Nuers, are “quite possibly a game-changer” in the conflict.
“It’s the first time we’re aware of that a local radio station was broadcasting hate messages encouraging people to engage in atrocities,” said Lanzer, who was in Bentiu on Sunday and Monday. “And that really accelerates South Sudan’s descent into an even more difficult situation from

which it needs to extract itself.”
Lanzer said thousands of civilians from several ethnic groups are streaming to the U.N. peacekeeping base in Bentiu because many believe more violence is coming. The base now holds 22,000 people — up from 4,500 at the start of April — but can supply only one liter of water per person per day. Some 350 people must share one toilet.

“The risk of a public health crisis inside our base is enormous,” he said. Raphael Gorgeu, the head of Doctors Without Borders in South Sudan, said people will die inside the U.N. base in the coming days because of the water and sanitation situation. As rebel forces entered Bentiu last week, residents were led to believe that by entering the mosque they would be safe, Lanzer said, citing accounts from survivors. But once inside they were robbed of money and mobile phones and a short while later gunmen began killing, both inside the mosque and inside the city hospital. The U.N. hasn’t spelled out clearly who exactly the victims were, but it is likely that ethnic Dinkas were among the dead. If you were not Nuer, then nothing could save you. And even Nuers who refused to take part in the attacks were killed, according to the U.N., as were former residents of the Dar fur region of Sudan. The gunmen killed wantonly, including children and the elderly, Lanzer said. U.N. officials began helping to clear the bodies from the streets and city buildings after the bloodshed.

BEIRUT (AP) — Weakened Syrian rebels are making their last desperate stand in Homs, as forces loyal to President Bashar Assad launch their harshest assault yet to expel them from the central city, once known as the capital of the revolution. Some among the hundreds of rebels remaining in the city talk of surrender, according to opposition activists there. Others have lashed back against the siege with suicide car bombings in districts under government control. Some fighters are turning on comrades they suspect want to desert, pushing them into battle. “We expect Homs to fall,” said an activist who uses the name Thaer Khalidiya in an online interview with The Associated Press. “In the next few days, it could be under the regime’s control.” The fight for Homs underscores Assad’s determination to rout rebels ahead of presidential elections now set for June 3, aiming to scatter fighters back farther north toward their supply lines on the Turkish borders. Assad’s forces are building on gains elsewhere — they have been able to almost clear rebels from a broad swath of territory south of Homs between the capital, Damascus, and the Lebanese border, breaking important rebel supply lines there. Rebels have also capitulated in several towns around Damascus after blockades that caused widespread hunger and suffering. Homs, Syria’s third largest city, is a crucial target.

north of Damascus, it links the capital with Aleppo in the north — the country’s largest city and another key battleground. But rebels still control large areas of the countryside in the north and south and have consolidated around the Turkish and Jordanian borders. “A total loss of Homs would represent a serious loss to the opposition,” said Charles Lister, visiting fellow at the

WADOWICE, Poland (AP) — His death triggered a massive outpouring of grief in Poland. His beatification, an explosion of pride and jubilation. But days before John Paul II is to be declared a saint, many of his countrymen are greeting the landmark with little more than a shrug. One reason is that John Paul has already long been a saint in Polish hearts — so making it official with Vatican pageantry is just a bit of icing on the cake. But it’s also clear that less than a decade since his death, the enthusiasm that Poles accord their great countryman seems to be dissipating, just as memories of him fade and a new generation comes of age in this young EU country that is moving toward a more secular outlook. Only a few hundred people turned out in Warsaw’s main square for prayers before the pope’s relics on April 2, the ninth anniversary of his death. And there is little talk in Polish media of the April 27 saint-making ceremony at the Vatican. It all contrasts sharply with the pontiff’s 2011 beatification, which was preceded by months of media frenzy and church preparations across Poland. “Who needs this canonization?” said Andrzej Grendys, stressing that he is Catholic but does not go to church. “We all know that he was a very good and decent man with a great heart and mind. That is most important and needs no official confirmation.”

For well over a year, government forces have been besieging rebels in the string of districts they hold in the city center, around its ancient bazaars. Just over a week ago, troops loyal to Assad escalated their assaults on rebel districts, barraging them with tank and mortar fire and bombs dropped from military aircraft. Syrian forces have so far advanced into two areas, Wadi al-Sayih and Bab Houd. Online video footage showed explosions as projectiles smashed into buildings, sending up columns of white smoke. Angry rebels are heard shouting that they have been abandoned and singing that only God could help them. The footage corresponded to other AP reporting on the events. Activists said it was the fiercest assault since last summer, when Syrian forces retook the rebelheld Homs neighborhood of Khalidiya. The death toll from fighting isn’t known, because neither side reports losses. If Assad’s forces take Homs, it would be a major boost as he prepares for

British Ambassador Ian Hughes said Tuesday that the killings are a clear violation of international law. the upcoming election, fueling the image his government has sought to promote that he is capable of eventually winning the relentless conflict. The war is now in its fourth year, with more than 150,000 people killed and a third of Syria’s population driven from their homes. Assad is expected to easily win another seven-year term in the June 3 election, which the opposition and the United States have already declared a farce aimed at giving Assad a veneer of popular support.
Inside Homs, rebels have been deeply weakened by months of blockade around their strongholds and the loss of their supply lines from Lebanon in March, after Syrian forces seized the border town of Zara.
Hundreds of fighters surrendered during a series of U.N. mediated truces that began in November. An estimated 800 to 1,000 fighters left alongside hundreds of civilians who were evacuated from rebel-held parts of the city, according to activists and an official in the Homs province. The rebels remaining in the city are predominantly from the Nusra Front, an al-Qaida affiliate, and other Islamist factions.

He said those behind the atrocities and those inciting them will be held to account. The violence is only one part of a dual crisis in South Sudan, a landlocked country that gained its independence from Sudan in 2011. Because of the fighting, more than 1 million people have fled their homes, and few residents are tending crops. Lanzer cited a severe risk of famine in the months ahead.

And many say the country has alr eady completed its emotional r eckoning with John Paul’s life and death. “We have discharged our emotions in spontaneous outpourings at John Paul’s beatification and death,” said Artur Spor niak of the Tygodnik Powszechny Catholic weekly. “That was a unique, mass experience of being a closely-knit community.” Even in Rome, preparations for the canonization are much more subdued than when John Paul was beatified. The Vatican is expecting far fewer people than the 1.5 million who saw the beatification Mass, and chur ch of ficials r eadily acknowledge that this will be a “Francis-style” ceremony: no frills and lowcost. Much of Poland’s religious fervor is going into pr eparations for Easter, an important holiday in Poland, just days before the canonization. Moreover, some of the Church’s traditional appeal and authority were recently tarnished by reports of sex abuse of children by
The U.N. has been warning of mounting evidence of ethnically targeted killings as both government troops and rebel forces lose and gain territories in backand-forth clashes. A ceasefire signed earlier this year has done little to quell violence. Though thousands of people are cramming into the U.N. base in Bentiu, they may not even be safe there. Dujarric said four rockets were fired at the
priests, some of whom have been indicted and handed prison ter ms. Feeling that burden — and apparently inspired by Francis — Poland’s church has adopted a low-key approach to the canonization. John Paul’s death in 2005 brought millions of mourners, including some 1.5 million Poles, to the funeral in Rome. Six years later, huge crowds gathered again at the Vatican — and acr oss Poland — to observe the beatification. But a similar exodus of Polish pilgrims is not expected for the canonization. The economic crisis and high unemployment of some 13 percent has played a role in denting plans to travel to the saint-making ceremony. “I think that people in Poland ar e now very much focused on the mundane, they are trying to make ends meet and that’s very challenging,” said Agnieszka Lelinska, an accountant in Warsaw. John Paul’s successor, Pope Benedict XVI, bowed to calls at John Paul’s funeral of “Santo Subito” — Sainthood Now — and opened the process only weeks after the pontif f’s death, waiving the traditional five-year waiting period.

Also last week, an angry mob attacked a U.N. base in Bor, a town in Jonglei state, killing about 60 people. In that case, ethnic Nuers sheltering inside bore the brunt of the attack. Dujarric said the U.N. mission in South Sudan reports that the situation in Bor remains

Asked how the United Nations could protect the 22,000 people at the base in Bentiu, given what happened in Bor, Dujarric said there are 500 U.N. peacekeepers in Bentiu. He reminded South Sudan’s government that it has a responsibility to protect civilians and that all armed groups have a responsibility to avoid civilian casualties.
SKorea ferry toll reaches 135
JINDO, South Korea (AP) — The confirmed death toll from the South Korean ferry disaster rose to 135 Wednesday, but there were many more bodies left to be retrieved as divers swam through tight, dark rooms and passageways to search for nearly 170 people still missing. The victims are overwhelmingly students of a single high school in Ansan, near Seoul. More than three-quarters of the 323 students are dead or missing, while nearly twothirds of the other 153 people on board the ferry Sewol when it sank one week ago survived. As descriptions of the newly recovered bodies were read over a loudspeaker, relatives rushed over to the main notice board and peered at the details that were being added by an official. Some relatives cried out and ran from the tent. Others stood red-eyed and shell-shocked. The number of corpses recovered has risen sharply since the weekend, when divers battling strong currents and low visibility were finally able to enter the submerged vessel. Twenty-two of the 29 members of the ferry’s crew survived, and nine have been arrested or detained in connection with the investigation. The captain, Lee Joon-seok, and two crew members were arrested Saturday on suspicion of negligence and abandoning people in need. Four other crew members were detained on Monday and arrested Tuesday, prosecutors said. Another two crew members were detained Tuesday. The four crew members arrested Tuesday talked to reporters after a court hearing, their faces hidden with caps, hooded sweatshirts and masks. One said they tried to correct the ferry’s listing early on but “various devices, such as the balance weight, didn’t work. So we reported the distress situation, according to the captain’s judgment, and tried to launch the lifeboats, but the ferry was too tilted and we couldn’t reach.” The captain has said he waited to issue an evacuation order because the current was strong, the water was cold and passengers could have drifted away before help arrived. But maritime experts said he could have ordered passengers to the deck — where they would have had a greater chance of survival — without telling them to abandon ship.

Miami youth helped ‘Cuban Twitter’ MIAMI (AP) — Leaders with the largest nonprofit organization for young Cuban-Americans quietly provided strategic support for the federal government’s secret “Cuban Twitter” program, connecting contractors with potential investors and serving as paid consultants, The Associated Press has learned. Interviews and documents obtained by the AP show leaders of Roots of Hope were approached by the “Cuban Twitter” program’s organizers in early 2011 about taking over the textmessaging service, known as ZunZuneo, and discussed shifting it into private hands. Few investors were willing to privately finance ZunZuneo, and Roots of Hope members dropped the idea. But at least two people on its board of directors went on to work as consultants, even as they served in an organization that explicitly refused to accept any U.S. government funds and distanced itself from groups that did. The disclosure could have wide repercussions for what has become one of the most visible and influential Cuban-American organizations. Chris Sabatini, senior director of policy at the Americas Society and Council of the Americas, said he wasn’t surprised that Roots of Hope’s leaders had been approached by federal contractors about the project, given the large sums of money available and the limited number of creative, tech-savvy groups that work on Cuba issues. “I think it does risk tainting the group, a group that I think has done amazing work and changed the discussion and mobilized a new generation toward a much more pragmatic agenda,” Sabatini said. Roots of Hope has been a key player in events like Latin pop star Juanes’ 2009 peace concert that drew more than a million people in Havana, and in the promotion of technology on the island. Its leaders recently
accompanied Cuban blogger and Castro critic Yoani Sanchez to Washington to help her develop a new independent media project in Cuba. Links to the U.S. Agency for International Development, which funded ZunZuneo, could make that prospect more difficult. Sanchez herself has been adamant in not accepting any government funding. USAID spokesman Matt Herrick declined to provide the names of any individuals employed by its contractor but said Roots of Hope did not enter into any grants or contracts related to ZunZuneo, which ended in September 2012. However, documents obtained by the AP show extensive involvement at times by the organization’s board members. An AP investigation published April 3 revealed the U.S. government went to great lengths to hide its role in ZunZuneo. The program, operated by contractor Creative Associates International, used foreign bank transactions and computer networks. Documents show ZunZuneo organizers aimed to effect democratic change in Cuba and drafted overtly political messages critical of the Castro government. The Obama administration has maintained the service had a more neutral purpose. Roots of Hope was launched at a conference at Harvard University in 2003 by college students seeking to connect with youth on the island. The organization quickly established a network of more than 4,000

Job market for college grads better, still weak Wednesday, April 23, 2014
WASHINGTON (AP) — With college commencement ceremonies nearing, the government is offering a modest dose of good news for graduating seniors: The job market is brightening for new grads — a bit. But finding work — especially a dream job — remains tough for those just graduating. Many are settling for jobs outside their fields of study or for less pay than they’d expected or hoped for. The Labor Department on Tuesday said the unemployment rate for 2013 college graduates — defined as those ages 20 to 29 who earned a fouryear or advanced degree — was 10.9 percent. That was down from 13.3 percent in 2012 and was the lowest since 7.7 percent in 2007. The drop reflects the steady recovery in overall U.S. economic growth and hiring. But unemployment for recent grads was still higher than the 9.6 percent rate for all Americans ages 20 to 29 last October, when the government collected the numbers. “I’m finding that all these entry-level jobs are requiring experience I don’t have or degrees that are just unattainable right out of college,” says Howard Rudnick, 23, who graduated last year in political science from Florida Atlantic University and wound up earning $25,000 a year working for an online shoe company. “The worst part is that I’m afraid at some point I may have to go back to school to better myself and take on more debt just so I can get a better-paying job.” Over time, though, Americans who have college degrees are still far more likely to find employment and to earn more than those who don’t. And while opportunities for new college grads remain too few, they’re increasing. “It really is getting better,” says Jean ManningClark, director of the career center at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, Colo. She says more automotive and steel companies are now looking at the school’s graduates, joining energy and technology companies that have been actively recruiting for several years. Last year’s female graduates fared better than men: 9 percent were unemployed as of October last year, compared with 13.7 percent of men. Analysts note that the economy has been generating jobs in many low-wage fields — such as retail and hotels —

students and young professionals. In 2009, it began focusing on technology access in Cuba with an initiative to collect and send cell phones and later USB flash drives to the island. In each of its projects, Roots of Hope publicly steered away from other Miami-based exile groups known for receiving U.S. funding. Nevertheless, in 2011 Creative Associates officer Xavier Utset approached Roots of Hope co-founder and then-executive director Felice Gorordo about spinning off the ZunZuneo project. Gorordo confirmed he’d been asked to help identify donors but said he did not know the project had a political agenda. “I thought it had merit. It wasn’t political. It had the goal of promoting shared information,” Gorordo said.

Internet TV case: Justices skeptical, concerned A10 Wednesday, April 23, 2014
WASHINGTON (AP) — Grappling with fast-changing technology, Supreme Court justices debated Tuesday whether they can protect the copyrights of TV broadcasters to the shows they send out without strangling innovations in the use of the Internet. The high court heard arguments in a dispute between television broadcasters and Aereo Inc., which takes free television signals from the airwaves and charges subscribers to watch the programs on laptop computers, smartphones and even their large-screen televisions. The case has the potential to bring big changes to the television industry. There was a good measure of skepticism about Aereo’s approach, sometimes leavened with humor. Chief Justice John Roberts declared at one point: “I’m just saying your technological model is based solely on circumventing legal prohibitions that you don’t want to comply with, which is fine. I mean, you know, lawyers do that.” But several justices expressed concern that a ruling for the broadcasters could hamper the burgeoning world of cloud computing, which gives users access to a vast online computer network that stores and processes information. Justice Stephen Breyer said the prospect makes him nervous. “Are we somehow catching other things that would really change life and shouldn’t?” Breyer asked. Paul Clement, representing the broadcasters, tried to assure the court it could draw an appropriate line between Aereo’s service and cloud computing generally. People who merely retrieve what they have stored should have no reason to

worry, Clement said. But David Frederick, representing Aereo, said the “cloud computing industry is freaked out about the case” because it sees its $10 billion investment at risk if the court were to hold that anytime music or an image is stored online and then retrieved, the copyright law would be implicated. The discussion veered between references to Roku, a TV streaming device, and other high-tech gadgets on the one hand, and analogies to coat-check rooms and valet parking in an effort to make matters more understandable on the other. There was even Breyer’s quaint reference to a “phonograph record store.” Aereo’s service starts at $8 a month and is available in New York, Boston, Houston and Atlanta, among 11 metropolitan areas. Subscribers get about two dozen local
over-the-air stations, plus the Bloomberg TV financial channel. In each market, Aereo has a data center with thousands of dime-size antennas. When a subscriber wants to watch a show live or record it, the company temporarily assigns the customer an antenna and transmits the program over the Internet to the subscriber’s laptop, tablet, smartphone or even a big-screen TV with a Roku or Apple TV streaming device. The antenna is only used by one subscriber at a time, and Aereo says that’s much like the situation at home, where a viewer uses a personal antenna to watch over-the-air broadcasts for free. Chief Justice Roberts repeatedly asked Frederick whether the tiny antennas existed for any reason other than to avoid paying the broadcasters for their con-
tent. “Is there any reason you need 10,000 of them?” Roberts said at one point. He suggested that it might not affect his view of the case if there was no other reason. But Frederick said it was much cheaper for Aereo, backed by billionaire Barry Diller, to add equipment as it grows, rather than start with a single large antenna. Broadcasters including ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC and PBS sued Aereo for copyright infringement, saying Aereo should pay for redistributing the programming the same way cable and satellite systems must or risk high-profile blackouts of channels that anger their subscribers. Some networks have said they will consider abandoning free over-the-air broadcasting if they lose at the Supreme Court.

that disproportionately employ women “It seems like the jobs that are growing fastest are jobs that are lowwage jobs, service jobs,” says Anne Johnson, executive director of Generation Progress, an arm of the liberal Center for American Progress that studies youth issues. Other fields that attract women — including health care — weren’t hit as hard by the recession. Philip Gardner, director of Michigan State University’s Collegiate Employment Research Institute, says women also “have skill sets that employers want... They have better communications skills. They have better interpersonal skills. They are more willing to work in teams.” Alexa Staudt’s job search lasted just three weeks. Before graduating from the University of T exas last spring, Staudt, 23, had landed an administrative position at an online security company in Austin. “I had marketable skills from my internships” in event planning, marketing and copy-editing and experience working as a receptionist for a real-estate firm, Staudt says. She’s happy with the job and the chance to stay in Austin. Yet the McKinsey & Company consultancy last year found that 41 percent of graduates from top universities and 48 percent of those from other schools could not land jobs in their chosen field after graduation.
Even in good times, many college graduates need time to find a good job. But researchers at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York concluded earlier this year that “it has become more common for underemployed college graduates to find themselves in low-wage jobs or to be working part time.” The Labor Department reports that 260,000 college graduates were stuck last year working at or below the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour. That’s down from a peak of 327,000 in 2010. But it’s more than double the 127,000 in 2007, the year the recession began. “Every way you cut it, young college grads are really having trouble — much more trouble than they used to have,” says Heidi Shierholz, an economist at the liberal Economic Policy Institute. “The labor market is not producing decent jobs.” In a study last year, economists at the University of British Columbia and York University in Canada found that college graduates were more likely to be working in routine and manual work than were graduates in 2000; technology was eliminating some mid-level jobs that graduates used to take. The result is that many have had to compete for jobs that don’t require much education. Their sobering conclusion: “Having a B.A. is less about obtaining access to high-paying managerial and technology jobs and more about beating less-educated workers for the barista or clerical job.”

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — Facing a high prevalence of diabetes, many American Indian tribes are returning to their roots with community and home gardens, cooking classes that incorporate traditional foods, and running programs to encourage healthy lifestyles. The latest effort on the Navajo Nation, the country’s largest reservation, is to use the tax system to push people to ditch junk food. Navajo President Ben Shelly earlier this year vetoed measures to enact a 2 percent sales tax on tax on chips, cookies and sodas, and to eliminate the tax on fresh fruit and vegetables. This week, tribal lawmakers have a chance to resurrect the proposals, and supporters are optimistic they’ll be among the first in the country to succeed. Elected officials across the U.S. have taken aim at sugary drinks with proposed bans, size limits, tax hikes and warning labels, though their efforts have not gained widespread traction. In Mexico, lawmakers approved a junk food tax and a tax on soft drinks last year as part of

that government’s campaign to fight obesity. Shelly said he supports the intent of the proposals on the Navajo Nation but questioned how the higher tax on snacks high in fat, sugar and salt would be enacted and regulated. Supporters of the tax say it is another tool in their fight for the health of the people. “If we can encourage our people to make healthier choices and work on the prevention side, we increase the life span of our children, we improve their quality of life,” said professional golfer Notah Begay III, who is among supporters. American Indians and Alaska Natives as a whole have the highest age-adjusted prevalence of diabetes among U.S. racial and ethnic groups, according to the American Diabetes Association. They are more than twice as likely as non-Hispanic whites to have the disease that was the fourth leading cause of death in the Navajo area from 2003 to 2005, according to the Indian Health Service. Native children ages 10 to 19 are

nine times as likely to be diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, the IHS said. The proposed Navajo Nation tax wouldn’t add significantly to the price of junk food, but buying food on the reservation presents obstacles that don’t exist in most of urban America. The reservation is a vast 27,000 square miles with few grocery stores and a population with an unemployment rate of around 50 percent. Thousands of people live without electricity and have no way of storing perishable food items for too long. “They have a tendency to purchase what’s available, and it’s not always the best food,” said Leslie Wheelock, director of tribal relations for the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The Dine Community Advocacy Alliance, which has been pushing for the Navajo Nation junk food tax, estimates it will result in at least $1 million a year in revenue that could go toward wellness centers, community parks, walking trails and picnic grounds in tribal communities in Utah, New Mexico and Arizona. It would expire at the end of 2018.

Rockets win regular-season district title Days left to register
Wednesday, April 23, 2014
LAWRENCE FOSTER RECORD ASST. SPORTS EDITOR
In many sports there is only one constant — time. Regardless of who is playing, where they are playing or how they are playing, the big clock in the sky continues its march to zeroes. Time can be your friend — if you are down 21-0 in the first quarter for example — or your worst enemy — like being down two goals with less than a minute left. Time isn’t present in all sports, however, and its absence can allow for comebacks that its countdown counterparts can’t provide. In the Goddard boys tennis team’s 6-3 victory over Roswell on Tuesday that gave the Rockets the regular season District 4-4A title, the first doubles match was proof of how a time-free event can entertain. Roswell’s duo of Jesus Atienzo and Brighton Pope took the first set from Goddard’s Casey Conlee and Phillip Rowe and held a commanding 5-0 lead in the second set. Without the pressure of having to compete against both a clock and Pope and Atienzo, the Rocket duo stormed back.
Roswell Daily Record
The rally started when the Rockets held Rowe’s service game to get on the board and gathered steam as Goddard was able to break Atienzo’s serve to make it 5-2. With momentum on its side, Goddard took the next four games and was one hold away from forcing an improbable third set. The Coyotes wouldn’t allow that to happen. Roswell took a 15-0 lead with a quick-twitch volley by Atienzo and led 30-0 with a winner by Atienzo. Roswell took two of the next three points to bring the second set to a tiebreaker. The tiebreaker started off just like the second set as the Coyotes quickly took a 5-0 lead. Goddard won the next three points and got to within 6-5, but Pope closed out the victory with a handful of volleys at the net, the last of which the Rockets couldn’t return.

CLOVIS — Goddard pounded out 14 extra-base hits, seven different Rockets had at least two hits and Goddard beat Clovis 14-6 on Tuesday night. After a 4-4 deadlock in the first, Goddard scored twice in the third and thrice in the fourth to pull away. Clovis trimmed its deficit to 9-6 with a pair in the fourth, but Goddard responded by scoring three in the fifth, one in the sixth and one in the seventh for the final margin. Josh Wagner picked up the victory on the bump, allowing six runs on six hits and striking out six in 4 2⁄3 innings. He was also one of three Rockets who recorded at three hits on the day, going 3

Two misplayed fly balls proved to be the difference in the game. “We had two situations,” Rocket coach Jay Edgett said, “where our outfield misjudged balls with two outs and they scored five runs on it. “One early in the first inning, then I think it was the fourth, same type thing occurred there.” See SOFTBALL, Page B3
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — When the Indiana Pacers needed a lift. Paul George stepped up. All over the court, over and over again. George had 27 points, 10 rebounds and six assists, and the Pacers used a big second-half run to rally for a 101-85 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday night in Game 2 of their first-round playoff series. George Hill scored each of his 15 points in the second half, helping top-seeded Indiana earn a split of the first two postseason games at home. George also had four steals and blocked a shot while helping keep Hawks point guard Jeff Teague in check. See TIE, Page B4

Gregg Popovich is NBA Coach of the Year B2 Wednesday, April 23, 2014
SPORTS
The San Antonio Spurs, the model for stability and sustained success in the modern NBA, were still a shaken team when they showed up for training camp in October, less than four months after a devastating loss to Miami in the NBA Finals. Some coaches would try to brush off the disappointment of letting a title slip through their fingers and refuse to acknowledge the elephant in the room. Gregg Popovich took it head on, embraced the heartache, and in a career full of masterful coaching performances, delivered perhaps his finest effort in season No. 18. “The way we lost in the finals wasn’t an ordinary loss, it was pretty devastating,” Popovich said on Tuesday after being named NBA coach of the year. “We decided that we needed to just face that right off the bat at the beginning of the season and get it out of the way. Don’t blame it on the basketball gods or bad fortune or any-

Tennessee hires Southern Mississippi’s Tyndall
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee’s coaching position had just become available when Donnie Tyndall received a text message urging him to pursue the job. This particular message did not come from Tyndall’s agent. It instead was from his 11-year-old daughter, Grace Elizabeth. Her note said in all capital letters that “THE TENNESSEE JOB IS OPEN. HINT, HINT.” “Certainly this is a job that was on my radar - and Gracie’s too,” Tyndall said Tuesday at his introductory press conference as Tennessee’s coach. Tyndall agreed to a six-year contract worth $1.6 million per year to replace Cuonzo Martin, who went 63-41 in three seasons at Tennessee before California hired him on April 15. The 43-year-old Tyndall went 56-17 with a pair of NIT appearances in two seasons at Southern Mississippi. Before going to Southern Mississippi, Tyndall was 114-85 with two NCAA tournament appearances in six seasons at Morehead State, which had gone 4-23 the year before his arrival. His 2011 Morehead State team upset Louisville in the NCAA tournament. Tyndall called Tennessee a place where “you can compete to go to the Final Four and you can compete to win a national championship. And that’s my plan.” “Tennessee, to me, is a destination job,” Tyndall said. The hire of Tyndall continues Tennessee’s recent tradition of selecting coaches from mid-major programs. Martin came to Tennessee in 2011 after three seasons at Missouri State. Martin was preceded by Bruce Pearl, who arrived at Tennessee from Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Pearl and Martin helped Tennessee reach four regional semifinals in the last eight years. Tennessee athletic director Dave Hart praised Tyndall’s boundless energy and winning history. Hart said Tyndall’s traits reminded him of Tennessee football coach Butch Jones. Tyndall and Jones grew up about an hour away from each other. Tyndall was born in Grand Rapids, Mich. Jones is from Saugatuck, Mich. Tyndall also has experience coaching in the Southeastern Conference and in the state of Tennessee. He was an assistant at LSU from 1997-2001 and at Middle Tennessee from 2002-06. “Donnie Tyndall fits the profile perfectly,” Hart said. Tyndall faces some immediate challenges. Tennessee loses four of its top five scorers from the team that went 23-14 and reached a regional semifinal this season. Tyndall also must unite a fan base that was divided for much of this season between Martin supporters and Pearl backers. Although Martin averaged 21 wins a year at Tennessee, some disgruntled fans started an online petition to bring back Pearl when the team struggled early this season. Pearl led the Vols to NCAA tournament appearances in each of his six seasons before getting fired in 2011 amid an NCAA investigation. Pearl was hired at Auburn last month. “We’ve got to put that behind us,” Tyndall said. “It’s got to start today. We all have to rally and get on the same bus, if you will. We’re all Tennessee Vol fans. We all bleed orange. We all want our team, our young guys to do well. So let’s start today. Let’s pull this thing together, put all that stuff behind us and go to work.” Tyndall said he intends to bring his entire Southern Mississippi staff with him to Tennessee.
Kentucky freshman Julius Randle to enter NBA draft
LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky forward Julius Randle will leave after one season to enter the NBA draft, where he is expected to be among the top five selections. With five days left before the deadline for underclassmen to declare, the 6-foot-9 Dallas native announced the decision many expected even before he arrived as part of Kentucky’s best recruiting class ever. Projected as a lottery pick from the outset, Randle solidified his draft stock by leading Kentucky (29-11) to the NCAA final behind a string of double-doubles despite being double- and triple-teamed. Randle averaged 15.0 points and 10.4 rebounds and was voted to The Associated Press’ All-America third team. With Tuesday’s announcement, he joins guard James Young, who said last week that he would enter the June 26 draft.

Tulane football recruit arrested, accused of rape
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A Tulane University wide receiver has been arrested, accused of raping a high-school student while she was passed out in his roommate’s bed in a campus dormitory. According to a New Orleans Police Department arrest warrant, the 18-year-old girl told police that she awoke at 4 a.m. on April 14 to find 17-year-old Niguel “Teddy” Veal, on top of her having sex with her. NOLA.com ‘ The Times-Picayune reports (http://bit.ly/1kYW8tL ) Veal, of Gretna, was booked Tuesday with one count of simple rape. Bond was set at $20,000. It was unclear if he has an attorney. Prosecutors sought to keep him in jail until Wednesday, when he would sign a restraining order preventing him from contacting the victim. But because the bond was already being processed, Magistrate Commissioner Albert Thibodeaux allowed him to be released Tuesday evening and ordered him to return to court Wednesday to sign the document. “Thank you, sir,” Veal told the judge, as he stood in an orange jumpsuit with his hands clasped in front of his body. According to police reports, the victim and her friend, described as “another female athlete chaperon,” drank alcohol with Veal
thing like that, the Miami Heat beat us and won the championship and that’s that.” Popovich joined Don Nelson and Pat Riley as the only coaches in league history to take home the Red Auerbach trophy three times in their career. “They’re on the hood of my car,” Popovich cracked. “One, two, three, right on the car, the way players do license plates. ... I’ve got three of those right on the hood.” He’s never liked the attention, never bought into the proclamations of his genius. When the accolades come his way, Popovich is quick to deflect them, giving the credit to his players, his assistant coaches, owner Peter Holt and general manager R.C. Buford. The humility in his voice on Tuesday was genuine, the challenge of putting the pieces back together after last season’s finish as daunting as ever. They showed up to training camp still stinging from that
and his roommate on the evening of April 13 before heading back to the men’s dorm room at Butler Hall on Tulane’s campus. After watching a movie, the girl had consensual sex with Veal’s roommate, then fell asleep in his bed. The roommate left the room. While he was out, Veal got on top of the victim and raped her while she was “asleep and unconscious due to alcohol inebriation,” according to a police bulletin issued by NOPD Sex Crimes Detective Vernon Haynes, who secured the arrest warrant. Veal, recruited from West Jefferson High School, enrolled at Tulane this year and is considered one of the school’s top recruits. Tulane spokesman Michael Strecker said Veal has been suspended from the team. He declined comment on any pending disciplinary action regarding Veal’s enrollment at the university, citing federal privacy laws. Records show he turns 18 on May 6.

defeat, and Popovich had to get to know a new-look coaching staff after losing longtime assistants Brett Brown and Mike Budenholzer to head coaching jobs in Philadelphia and Atlanta. Then he led the Spurs to a league-best 62-20 record, which gives them home-court advantage throughout the playoffs. And he did it while deftly navigating a season filled with nagging injuries to several key players. Tim Duncan was the only starter to play in at least 70 games. No Spur averaged 30 minutes per game and Tony Parker led the team with a modest 16.7 points per game. Despite all of that, the Spurs won at least 50 games for the 15th straight season and topped 60 for the fourth time in that span. “Day after day, year after year, the energy that Pop provides our organization is truly unique,” Buford said.

series, with Game 2 on Wednesday night in San Antonio. “He’s a gentleman,” Spurs swingman Marco Belinelli said. “Everybody knows that he’s the best coach in the league. So to say that is not really important. But maybe some people, they don’t know he’s really a great guy, a great gentleman. He really helps guys, helps each other. He wants to help everybody. Great person.” When Miami topped San Antonio in that classic seven-game series, Popovich’s reaction resonated deeply within some members of the Heat organization. Instead of showing his disappointment at the final buzzer, Popovich lingered on the court for a few minutes, sharing heartfelt embraces and words with Erik Spoelstra, Dwyane Wade and LeBron James, among others — even smiling as he chatted with them and congratulated them on winning the title.

Bills coach Marrone had cancerous mole removed
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Buffalo Bills coach Doug Marrone said Tuesday night he had a cancerous mole removed, and added it will not have any effect on him doing his job. Marrone made the announcement in a statement released through the team. Marrone said the cancerous mole was discovered during a recent visit to the doctor. He said the only follow-up requirement is to have his moles checked every three months. “That’s basically the end of the story,” Marrone said. “The recent extraction procedure will have no effect on my ability to coach the team moving forward.” Marrone is entering his second year on the job following the team’s 6-10 finish last year. A former NFL offensive lineman, Marrone spent the previous five seasons turning around a struggling Syracuse program. He was also an assistant with the New Orleans Saints and New York Jets. The news comes at a difficult time for the Bills. Owner and founder Ralph Wilson died last month, and Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly is currently being treated for the recurrence of sinus cancer. Marrone made no mention of the illness during a news conference earlier in the day after Bills players reported for the first day of the team’s voluntary conditioning program. Marrone did touch on the uncertainty raised by Wilson’s death, which will lead to the franchise being put up for sale, a move that raises the possibility of the team relocating. In addressing his players earlier in the

offered high praise to the Spurs’ coach. “Not surprised,” James said. “It’s well-awarded. I have the utmost respect for Gregg Popovich, man. Not only what he’s been able to do for that team, but him just being able to always keep those guys motivated and always keep their best interests. ... From the outside looking in, it seems that he has their best interests and all he cares about is the team’s success and nothing else matters. That’s bigtime.” Popovich garnered 59 first-place votes and 380 total points in voting conducted by a panel of media members.

day, Marrone reminded them of the importance of staying focused. “We talked today about one of the things that I’ve always talked to the coaches and players about is to make sure you learn or you understand that you control what you can control. And I think that’s important,” Marrone said. “For us, we understand that we have to go out there and win, and that’s what our focus is. And that’s what our mission is.” He added: “If we start thinking about the things we can’t control and get sidetracked, then we will lose our focus and that will hurt us in losing football games.” The Bills have not made the playoffs in 14 seasons, marking the NFL’s longest active drought.

Tech boom presents new wrinkles for Wrigley Field SPORTS
Roswell Daily Record
CHICAGO (AP) — During a recent game at Wrigley Field, John Weber was using a pencil and scorecard to expertly track the game between his hometown Cubs and the Pittsburgh Pirates. The 86-year -old retired transit worker figures he is an increasingly rare kind of baseball fan. “Look around, do you see many people keeping score?” he asked. No indeed. Between batters and between pitches, most fans in the stands at Wrigley — and everywhere else in the majors — take their eyes off the game to peck away at smartphones, phablets, tablets and iPads. Few bother to figure out the baseball hieroglyphics that Weber and other purists lovingly scrawl on their cards. The Cubs are hoping to add a massive video scoreboard to Wrigley as early as next year in what would be the biggest renovation at Wrigley since lights were installed more than a quarter century ago. The plan has stirred plenty of opposition, with many wondering if modern electronics will rob some of the mystique that surrounds the venerable ballpark, which hosted its first game on April 23, 1914 — 100 years ago Wednesday. The scene in the stands illustrates how Wrigley is already a modern park and in fact got there faster than some of the newer, shinier stadiums around the country. The Cubs were the first to install a moving walkway back in the 1950s (it was removed a few years later) and in 2012 were one of the first teams in the

only the most visible example of some of the differences between Wrigley and other parks. Rather than ordering food and drink on a hand-held device and having it delivered right to their seats, fans at Wrigley get things the old-fashioned way: By yelling at vendors roaming the aisles or making a trip to the concession stands. The Cubs can’t do it any other way because Wrigley Field is so small that food must be prepared offsite. A proposed $300 million renovation project includes construction of commissary, though team spokesman Julian Green said a final decision hasn’t been made. Many fans do worry that the Cubs’ embrace of technology could change the atmosphere at the friendly confines for the worse. They want to see the park as they imagine past generations saw it. “Any modernization, you risk losing what made it special,” said Todd Jezierski, a 32-year -old Oregon resident.

Raptors win Game 2, even series with Nets B4 Wednesday, April 23, 2014
TORONTO (AP) — DeMar DeRozan put his playoff jitters aside and turned in an All-Star performance for the Toronto Raptors. DeRozan scored 30 points, Jonas Valanciunas had 15 points and 14 rebounds and the Raptors beat the Brooklyn Nets 10095 on Tuesday night, evening their first-round playoff series at one game apiece. A first-time All-Star this season, DeRozan struggled in his postseason debut on Saturday. He went 3 for 13 from the field and scored 14 points in Toronto’s 94-87 loss. On Tuesday, DeRozan eclipsed that total in the fourth quarter alone, scoring 17 of Toronto’s 36 points. “We knew he was going to bounce back from the first game,” Brooklyn’s Deron Williams said. “He took over the game, hit some crucial shots, some tough shots. We’ve got to do a better job of stopping him, especially late.” DeRozan made nine of 21 shots and went 12 for 14 at the free-throw line, hitting nine of 11 attempts in the final quarter. “He bounced back, refocused,” Raptors coach Dwane Casey said. “Making those free throws down the stretch was huge. For him to come through after a tough first game and everyone doubting him, I was really happy with that.” So was Raptors guard Kyle Lowry. “Tonight he showed what he can do,” Lowry said of DeRozan. “He did an unbelievable job of attacking, being aggressive.” Amir Johnson scored 16 points and Lowry had 14 for the Raptors, who outrebounded the Nets 52-30. It was Valanciunas’ second straight playoff double-double. “There was no way we

were going to lose that game,” Amir Johnson said. “It was a must-win for us.” Joe Johnson scored 18 points, Williams had 15 and Mirza Teletovic 14 for the Nets, who will host Game 3 on Friday night. “There’s a lot of positive things that we’ve done in these first two games,” Nets coach Jason Kidd said. “Now we’ve got to go home and protect home.” Hampered by foul trouble throughout the game, Brooklyn’s Paul Pierce went 2 for 11 from the field, including 0 for 6 from 3point range. He finished with seven points. Pierce was upset that the Nets failed to take a 2-0 stranglehold on the series. “We had them on the ropes,” Pierce said. “Definitely.” Kevin Garnett scored 13 points and Shaun Livingston had 12 for the Nets, who led 66-64 heading into the fourth and couldn’t take advantage of 21 Toronto turnovers. “They did a better job of executing and we just couldn’t stop them,” Williams said. Pierce converted a threepoint play on his first field goal of the game to tie it at 83 with 3:48 left, but backto-back jumpers by DeRozan on either side of a missed shot by Pierce gave the Raptors an 89-85 lead with 2:11 remaining. Garnett cut the deficit in half with a pair of free throws, but Lowry scored a driving layup, and then forced a steal that led to a Patterson foul shot that gave Toronto a five-point edge. Pierce answered with another three-point play, and the Nets trailed 92-90 with 59 seconds remaining. A turnover by DeRozan gave possession back to Brooklyn, but Pierce missed a 3 and the Raptors grabbed the rebound. DeRozan was

fouled and made both with 20 seconds left, giving the Raptors a 94-90 lead. Joe Johnson made a layup but Amir Johnson replied with a thunderous dunk, delighting the crowd of 20,382. Pierce missed again, DeRozan grabbed the rebound and sealed it with four free throws in the final 12 seconds. “It’s everything you dream about, especially when you become a professional athlete, to be at the highest level and have the trust of your coaching staff and your teammates to have the ball in your hands and win a game for them,” DeRozan said. “That’s big.” AP Photo

“That’s why he was in the MVP conversation early,” Pacers coach Frank Vogel said. “He always does those types of things, guarding the best perimeter player, rebounding the ball, deflecting the ball. His hands were all over the place. It makes him one of the most complete players in the game when he plays like he did tonight.” The Pacers sure needed it. For seven weeks, Indiana heard everyone question its fortitude, team chemistry, even whether it was worthy of a No. 1 seed. The complaints grew louder after Saturday’s 101-93 loss. George and his teammates spent the next 72 hours seeking solutions and defiantly insisting they would be OK. On Tuesday, they finally reverted to their early-season form. Indiana limited the Hawks to 33 second-half points and dominated the third quarter. Next up is Game 3 on Thursday in Atlanta, where the Pacers have only two wins since
December 2006 — though one of those closed out last year’s firstround playoff series in six games. “We want to build on what we’ve got going,” Indiana forward David West said. “We want to continue to be aggressive. We know they’re going to play better at home, but we’re going down there to get back in charge of this series.” George was 9 for 16 from the field, including a 5-for-7 performance from 3-point range. He also went 4 for 4 at the line. Perhaps more importantly, he managed to contain Teague after he burned Indiana for 28 points in Game 1. George wanted the responsibility of guarding Teague, who had seven points in the first quarter and seven more for the rest of the game. “I sat down and it was homework for me, just locking into his tendencies and figuring out where I will get beat or where I’m vulnerable against him,” George said. “It’s a challenge.” George was the catalyst, but he had plenty of help. Hill, who had been mired in an offensive funk, made 5 of 6 shots in the second half. Luis Scola, who kept the Pacers close when West got
into early foul trouble, finished with 20 points and seven rebounds. The defense that gave up 11 3-pointers in Game 1 and eight more in the first half of Game 2, allowed just two over the final 24 minutes. “Our execution on both ends of the court wasn’t at the level we need it to be,” Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer said. “Give them credit, they were aggressive, they made a lot of plays and our execution, particularly in the third quarter has to be better. That’s what we’ll work on.” Indiana appeared to be in trouble when it trailed 38-27 in the second quarter and was still down 52-48 at halftime. But the Pacers stormed into the lead with a 31-13 third quarter. West sparked a 25-2 run with a bank shot that made it 70-65 with 3:20 left in the third. George made a buzzer-beating 3 to make it 79-65 heading into the fourth, and the Pacers scored the first eight points of the final period. “If that’s what it took for everyone to understand how close this team is, that’s what it was,” George said. “We’ve got each other’s back and that’s what it felt like.”
MLB: Pujols jacks two, joins 500-HR club FINANCIAL / SPORTS
Roswell Daily Record
WASHINGTON (AP) — Heading toward the plate after the 500th homer of this career, Albert Pujols glanced ahead and saw a throng of Los Angeles Angels teammates waiting right there to greet him. He was pleased by the outpouring of support. He also had a message. “I was pretty emotional running the bases and when I ... looked at all these guys coming out, it was hard,” Pujols said. “But I just told them, ‘We’ve got a game to win.”’ Not a problem, especially with Pujols hitting like the Pujols of old. Continuing a strong stretch, the Angels first baseman became the first major leaguer to hit his 499th and 500th homers in the same game, driving in five runs Tuesday night to help Los Angeles beat the Washington Nationals 7-2. “I knew this year, it was going to happen, whether it was tonight, tomorrow, two months from now,” Pujols said. “So my goal was just to prepare myself every day to try to help this organization win.” The three-time NL MVP connected twice off right-hander Taylor Jordan (0-3) — a three-run homer in the first inning and tworun drive in the fifth. He’s the 26th player in big league history to reach the milestone. Pujols also hit his 400th homer at Nationals Park. “I admire the man. I admire his ability and the way he goes about playing the game, and I have for some time,” said Washington manager Matt Williams, who also played against Pujols. “I just wish he’d do it against somebody else.” Pujols is the first player to collect his 499th and 500th homers in the same game, according to STATS. About three months past his 34th birthday, he’s also the third-youngest to get to 500; Alex Rodriguez and Jimmie Foxx were 32. Making a recent surge, Pujols has eight homers in the past 13 games. He leads the Angels with 19 RBIs. “That’s the Albert I’m used to seeing,” Angels outfielder Mike Trout said. “Full, healthy, 100 percent healthy.” The 500th homer went to leftcenter field at Nationals Park, on an 89 mph pitch with the count at 1-2. The ball was grabbed — and later given to Pujols — by a man who identified himself as Thomas Sherrill, a 29-year -old Air Force staf f sergeant from Pomona, Calif.

Marlins 1, Braves 0 ATLANTA (AP) — Jose Fernandez matched his career high with 14 strikeouts in eight innings and combined with Steve Cishek on a three-hitter as the Marlins shut out the Braves. Fer nandez (3-1) outpitched Atlanta’s Alex Wood (2-3), who also was dominant. Wood allowed four hits and one run with no walks and a career -high 11 strikeouts in eight innings. The Marlins gave Fernandez the only run he would need in the fourth. Giancarlo Stanton hit a one-out double to left field and scored on Casey McGehee’s single up the middle. Fernandez struck out the side in the fourth and fifth innings. He allowed three hits with no walks. Cishek pitched a perfect ninth for his fourth save.
Cardinals 3, Mets 0 NEW YORK (AP) — Adam Wainwright threw seven neat innings before leaving with a knee injury, and Jon Jay hit a two-run single that sent the Cardinals to a victory over the Mets. Left fielder Matt Holliday robbed Chris Young of a tying homer, one night after the Mets played some dazzling defense of their own to post a shutout in the series opener. Wainwright (4-1) faced the minimum through four innings and outpitched Dillon Gee. It was the second consecutive scoreless start for Wainwright, who tossed a two-hit shutout last Thursday at Washington.
Reds 4, Pirates 1 PITTSBURGH (AP) — Johnny Cueto tossed his second threehitter against the Pittsburgh in a week and the Cincinnati Reds eased past the struggling Pirates. Cueto (2-2) struck out four and walked three while running his career-long scoreless streak to 21 innings before giving up a home run to Andrew McCutchen with one out in the ninth. He improved to 15-4 in his career against the Pirates and became the first Cincinnati pitcher to toss consecutive complete games since Mat Latos did it in June 2012. Brayan Pena and Zack Cozart had consecutive RBI hits of f Edinson Volquez (1-1) in the seventh to provide all the offense Cueto needed. Volquez allowed two runs and five hits with a walk and three

Cubs 9, Diamondbacks 2 CHICAGO (AP) — Jason Hammel pitched seven strong innings, Mike Olt hit a three-run homer and Nate Schierholtz drove in a pair of early runs to lead the Cubs to a victory over the Diamondbacks. Hammel (3-1) allowed just one run and four hits in seven innings to lower his ERA to 2.60. Olt still is batting below .200 for the season (.195), but has four homers and nine runs batted in. The Cubs, who’ve won three of four, have won back-to-back games for the first time this season. They last won consecutive games on Sept. 9 and 10 of last season against the Cincinnati Reds. Their last consecutive home wins came on Sept. 4 and 6 against Miami and Milwaukee. Brandon McCarthy (0-4) managed to lower his ERA from 7.11 to 6.23. He allowed five runs — one earned — and seven hits in five innings.
Padres 2, Brewers 1, 12 inn. MILWAUKEE (AP) — Chase Headley homered in the top of the 12th inning and San Diego relievers tossed six shutout innings in the Padres’ win over the Brewers. Huston Street retired the side in order in the bottom of the 12th for his seventh save after Donn Roach (1-0) allowed just one hit over two scoreless innings. Headley’s homer to center off a 1-0 fastball from Alfredo Figaro (0-1) was one of the few mistakes from the mound among teams with two of the best staff ERAs in baseball. Padres starter Ian Kennedy labored through six innings while Brewers counterpart Yovani Gallardo went seven strong innings before the bullpens took over. The Padres’ bullpen allowed three hits and struck out eight to snap Milwaukee’s four-game winning streak.
Rockies 2, Giants 1 DENVER (AP) — Nolan Arenado hit a go-ahead homer leading off the fifth and Franklin Morales outdueled Madison Bumgarner, lifting the Rockies to a win over the Giants. Troy Tulowitzki also added a solo shot for the Rockies, who have hit seven homers in two nights against the Giants. Morales (2-1) was masterful on the mound as he allowed five hits over seven innings, which match-

Rays 7, Twins 3 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — David Price allowed six hits in his first complete game of the season, David DeJesus drove in three runs, and Tampa beat Minnesota. Price (3-1) struck out 12 in his ninth career complete game. DeJesus stopped an 0-for -24 skid with an RBI single during a three-run first and added a thirdinning two-run single. Kyle Gibson (3-1) gave up seven runs and 10 hits in three-plus innings for Minnesota. The righthander had given up just two runs over 19 1 ⁄ 3 innings in his three other starts this year. The Twins got home runs from Brian Dozier and Chris Colabello.
AMERICAN LEAGUE Yankees 9, Red Sox 3 BOSTON (AP) — Jacoby Ellsbury doubled, tripled, drove in two runs and made a sliding catch in his return to Fenway Park, helping the New York Yankees and Masahiro Tanaka beat the Boston Red Sox Tuesday night. Ellsbury received a mixed reception in his first game at Fenway since leaving the Red Sox to sign a $153 million, seven-year contract with the Yankees. Tanaka (3-0) allowed two runs on seven hits in 7 1⁄3 innings with seven strikeouts and no walks. His 35 strikeouts in his first four major league starts set a team record and he’s walked just two batters in 29 1⁄3 innings. Jon Lester (2-3) struggled after four outstanding outings, allowing seven runs in 4 2⁄3 innings. There were more boos than cheers from the crowd that contained a sizeable amount of Yankees fans when Ellsbury stepped in as the first batter of the game. With an 0-2 count, he drove the ball about five feet from the top of the center field wall. It was ruled a triple after a spectator reached out and interfered with it.
Royals 8, Indians 2 CLEVELAND (AP) — James Shields allowed two runs in six innings and Mike Moustakas hit a three-run homer to lead Kansas City over Cleveland. Shields (2-2) struck out nine and won his second straight start. Moustakas’ homer sparked a four-run fourth that featured five hits. The Royals are 10-0 when scoring at least four runs. Eric Hosmer had four hits, including an RBI double in the seventh. Danny Salazar (0-3) didn’t allow a hit until the fourth, but unraveled quickly when Hosmer led off with a single. Billy Butler followed with another single before Salazar retired the next two hitters. Moustakas drove a 11 pitch into Kansas City’s bullpen in right field, breaking a 2-for-15 slump.
Tigers 8, White Sox 6 DETROIT (AP) — Miguel Cabrera hit a two-run homer, Justin Verlander pitched seven solid innings and Detroit held on for a victory over Chicago. Cabrera was 4 for 23 on this homestand before going 3 for 5 against the White Sox — including a homer and a double of f Charlie Leesman (0-1), who was called up from the minors to start in place of the injured Chris Sale. Verlander (3-1) had little to worry about after allowing a firstinning homer to Jose Abreu. He allowed two runs and eight hits, striking out seven and walking two. Chicago’s Dayan Viciedo had a career-high four hits, and Adam Dunn hit a two-run homer in the ninth to pull the White Sox within two. Joba Chamberlain got the final out for his first save, retiring Alexei Ramirez on a liner to left

B6 Wednesday, April 23, 2014 DEAR ABBY UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE
DEAR ABBY: I have been married to a wonderful man for 30 years. Our marriage may not be perfect, but it’s quite good. My dilemma is this: My husband keeps track of every time we have sex and has a personal goal of 100 times a year. In 2013, he informed me that we’d had sex only 76 times, and that was not adequate for him. He was quite upset about it. Do you think tracking your sex life is normal, and what do you think about a couple married for 30-plus years having sex 76 times
in a year? Is that normal? Also, keep in mind that he travels for business and is gone about 60 days a year. PRESSURED DEAR PRESSURED: Your husband sounds like a college student who is striving to get 100 notches on his belt. Rather than obsess about the number of times you have had sex, the quality of the experience should be more important. Fifty GREAT times a year would be better than 100 so-so times, one would think. And no, I do not think your husband’s preoccupation is “normal” — whatever normal is these days.
HHHHH DEAR ABBY: After six years of unsuccessful fertility work, my husband and I were forced to give up. Last summer his sister offered to be a surrogate for us, and we’ll use a donor egg since I have none. We have told only a few people.
COMICS
We’re having an embryo transfer next week and thought we’d wait until after the first trimester to “announce.” But what is the proper way to do it when it’s not actually I who is expecting? And is there etiquette for having a baby shower in this situation? We’re excited and proud of this opportunity, but it takes a lot of explaining for people to understand and not be judgmental. This is the closest we’ll ever get to experiencing pregnancy, and I want to enjoy it to the fullest. MODERN MOM-TO-BE IN WASHINGTON
DEAR MOM-TO-BE: Congratulations on your pregnancy. Because it takes explaining, I recommend you share the happy news with your family and close friends by telling them in person. That way, you can answer any questions they may have directly. When you want “the world” to know, you may decide to send a mass email or post photos on the Internet.
As to having a baby shower — because this is a happy event you are celebrating and you will need things for the baby, I’m sure a friend will want to host one for you. Be sure to include your sister -in-law if she would like to attend.
Family Circus
HHHHH DEAR ABBY: My 18-year-old granddaughter is seeing a 30-year-old man. What can I say to let her know he is way too old for her? I don’t want her to hate me. LOVING GRANDMA IN FLORIDA
DEAR LOVING GRANDMA: I don’t think that telling your granddaughter the man is too old for her would be a good idea because it would imply that she is too young, and no 18-year -old wants to hear that. Tell her instead that you think she would have a lot more in common with someone closer to her age. This is particularly true if she is still in high school.

FROM HELOISE
KING FEATURES SYNDICATE Dear Heloise: Whenever I heat up a frozen meal in the MICROWAVE, one of the last directions is to allow the food to “stand in the microwave” for a few minutes before removing. Why is this? Ellen L. in Illinois
Today’s Crossword Puzzle
Standing time means that the food is really still cooking a little longer. In a microwave, even when you turn it off or it stops, those little “waves” are still bouncing around! By letting the food “stand,” it finishes the cooking. Also, it’s a safety measure, especially with liquids. It’s called superheating, and putting a spoon or fork in the dish too soon can cause the liquid to splash. Heloise HHHHH
Dilbert
For Better or For Worse
Dear Heloise: After a party, I had a chunk of cream cheese with hot-pepper jelly left over. I put it into my potato soup. It was really good. It made the soup a little more creamy, and the pepper jelly gave it a little more of a bite. Amelia S. in California Great hint, and a tasty one at that. Soup is a good way to stretch the food budget and use up what may be left over in the refrigerator. My Heloise’s Spectacular Soups pamphlet is filled with family and friend recipes and hints to save you time in the kitchen. To order one, send $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Soups, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Save cheese rinds in the freezer and add them to soup for extra flavor. Heloise HHHHH
Dear Heloise: Would you please explain the differences among celery seeds, celery flakes and celery salt? Which would be best for chicken-noodle soup, as I never use a whole stalk of fresh celery? Ruth in California
Sure I can! Celery seed is a dried fruit (seed), not like regular celery. It has a very strong flavor. It usually is used when making pickles, or it is added to pasta salad, potato salad or egg salad. But use only a small dash, because the taste is very intense. Celery flakes are dried, chopped pieces of celery, including both the leaves and the stalk. The flakes can be used in place of fresh celery in recipes. Of course, you won’t have that crunch, but the taste is pretty close. Finally, celery salt is a mixture of celery seed and salt. It can be used in coleslaw, potato salad, macaroni salad and tuna salad. Heloise P.S.: A little goes a long way, so buy the smallest container you can. HHHHH
Dear Heloise: I love your column in the Ventura County (Calif.) Star and read it every morning. I read the hint about spreading peanut butter with the back of a spoon so as not to tear the bread, and I was compelled to write my hint. I put some peanut butter in a small, microwave-safe dish and heat it for several seconds until it becomes soft enough to spread easily. Elaine G. in California

Happy Birthday, Shakespeare! Homeschooling
This stained glass shows how a wealthy schoolboy would have dressed at the time Shakespeare was in school. These clothes were probably way too fancy for Shakespeare. He would have worn white or beige stockings with brown, black or gray short trousers and a jacket.

William grew up with five siblings and many cousins. Williamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother and grandmother probably taught the kids to read at home. When they were about 4 or 5, children learned to read with a hornbook, or a little wooden tablet with a piece of paper or parchment* glued to it. It was covered with a thin, protective piece of animal horn. *Parchment is material made from animal skin.
Experts think Shakespeare was probably born on April 23, 1564. He died exactly 52 years later, on April 23, 1616. This portrait of him was on a sign that may have hung outside a publishing house.
Willâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home
Not all kids learned how to write, although kids attending grammar school usually learned both reading and writing. There were no set rules for how to spell words at that time, so nobody had spelling tests.
William was born in Stratfordupon-Avon, England. His father, John Shakespeare, was wealthy. He gained much of his money from his wife, Mary Arden. A womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property went to her husband at that time. Williamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dad made leather goods such as gloves. He was also a top official in Stratford. He was chief alderman, or an elected official similar to a city councilman. At times, he served as deputy bailiff (BAY-lif), or sheriff.

Mikaela Shiffrin
To get to the top of her sport, slalom skier Mikaela Goldie Shiffrin races to the bottom. And she is fast! Slalom is an Goodsportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alpine skiing event in which competitors must maneuver Supersport between different poles, called â&#x20AC;&#x153;gates,â&#x20AC;? as they move down the mountain. Mikaela began competing in slalom when she was 6 years old. At 16, she debuted on the World Cup circuit â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the highest level of international competition â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with a third-place finish. After winning her first World Championship in 2013, Mikaela set her sights on the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. On Feb. 21, she became the youngest slalom gold medalist in Olympic Height: 5-7 history at 18 years, 345 days. Birthdate: 3-13-1995 Just two weeks later, Mikaela captured her Hometown: eighth World Cup victory and a second-straight Eagle-Vail, Colo. season title in the slalom.
Shakespeare in School Elementary school Boys from middle-class families usually started attending elementary school when they were between 7 and 11 years old. William was one of THOSE LUCKY KIDS 'IRLS THAT AGE MAY have continued to learn at home, but many stopped going to any type of school. When he was 7, William began ATTENDING THE 3TRATFORD 'RAMMAR School, an excellent school founded in 1295. It was in a large hall above a meeting room. The building is still standing. School was hard. The school day started at 6 a.m. in the summer and 7:00 a.m. in the winter. It lasted from eight to 12 hours, six days a week. +IDS HAD TO BRING THEIR OWN CANDLES to study in the dark. The school day began with prayers, followed by lessons in Latin, 'REEK MATH RELIGION AND WRITING Students learned how to give a speech and how to debate.
This art shows the house where Shakespeare was born (center house). It was painted in 1834.
Paper was not as easy to get as it is today; it was valuable. Students had to learn how to write without blotting the ink or wrecking the paper.
Subjects The boys studied plays and literature by ancient Romans and 'REEKS 3TUDENTS LEARNED BY RECITING or writing things over and over. They HAD TO MEMORIZE A LOT They also had to learn how to compose their own works. They often wrote in one language and then translated it to another. Students also learned penmanship, which was a complicated process. They wrote by dipping a goosefeather into a pot of ink. They had to learn to sharpen the feather with a knife.

Falling in Love With Plays Drama comes to town

About once a year, groups of traveling players, or actors, came to Stratford. From the time he was about 8, William was able to watch plays with the rest of the townspeople. Players would perform in front of town officials, in the square or in an inn, or hotel, yard. People would watch from balconies around the inn. There were no women players. Young men acted the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parts. William also might have seen religious plays called mystery plays or miracle plays. Women did act in those. Traveling players may have performed in churches or on temporary stages built in the town.
This painting shows the Stratford church, the Avon river and the mill.
When William was about 15, his father lost much of his money. He ALSO LOST HIS JOB AS ALDERMAN (E WAS in danger of losing his property. William left school around that time. No one knows what he did for the next few years. He may have become a schoolmaster in a household in northern England, or he may have become an actor. He returned to Stratford when he was 18 and married a neighborhood girl, Anne Hathaway. They had a daughter, Susanna, and twins, Hamnet and Judith. Hamnet died when he was 11.
We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how Shakespeare got started in theater, but experts know he was in London acting and writing plays by the 1590s. His playwriting career was very successful. He bought a house in Stratford for his family. It was the second-largest house in town, with 10 fireplaces, two orchards, two barns and two gardens. He became part owner of a very successful playing, or acting, COMPANY 4HE +ING S -EN )T WAS probably sponsored, or supported, by +ING *AMES 3HAKESPEARE ALSO OWNED property in London.

Going to the theater When Shakespeareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theater career began, there was little entertainment. People could go to bear baitings, or dogs attacking captive bears, to church or to plays. Plays were so popular that one-quarter of Londonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population might see a play.

Indian film awards arrive in Tampa, but why? B12 Wednesday, April 23, 2014
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — The socalled Bollywood Oscars have been held in Macau, Singapore, London — and now, Tampa? Starting today, hundreds of Indian film stars and thousands of Bollywood fans are expected to flood this city for the International Indian Film Academy’s awards extravaganza, four days of song-anddance performances and movie screenings. The event caps off with the awards ceremony Saturday. Even though Tampa has hosted four Super Bowls and the 2012 Republican National Convention, its small Indian population makes it an unusual choice for the awards. The event has been held in big cities across the globe as the success of Bollywood has grown, but it’s the first time in its 15-year history that the group has gathered in the United States. About 800 million people will watch the ceremony on television or the Internet, according to organ-
ENTERTAINMENT
izers. Shades of Bollywood are everywhere in the area. The top floor of the Tampa International Airport parking garage was transformed into a reception area for Bollywood bigwigs and autograph-seeking fans. Shahid Kapoor, an actor with 4 million followers on Twitter, arrived to a small crowd at the VIP area Monday. He is scheduled to co-host the awards ceremony. Elsewhere, security was trained on how best to handle enthusiastic fans and service workers were taught how to accommodate Indian visitors (tip: “just because you don’t recognize them, doesn’t mean they aren’t famous”). Tampa was chosen because city and tourism leaders were aggressive. Sabbas Joseph, the director of the academy and entertainment company Wizcraft International, said Tampa officials even took a few jabs at the competition, telling him: “Orlando mice, Miami Vice
and Tampa nice.” Tourism leaders are thrilled and hope to draw more wealthy Indian tourists to the area. Some 30,000 people are expected. Hollywood superstar Kevin Spacey will teach a master acting class and John Travolta will be honored at the awards show as the “Most Popular All Time International Star In India.” Santiago Corrada, the president and CEO of Visit Tampa Bay, the area’s tourism arm, said a private donor gave about $9 million to help bring the awards to the area. The county and state provided about $1.1 million to promote the event and market Florida. The city has shown there’s an appetite for Indian glitter and glam, despite having a small IndianAmerican population. Cheap seats at Raymond James Stadium, usually where the Tampa Bay Buccaneers football team plays, start at $93. Pricier options run all the way up to $3,295. Nearly all of 25,000
Bon Jovi helps open low-income housing PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Jon Bon Jovi’s hit tune “Who Says You Can’t Go Home?” took on new meaning Tuesday as the rock star cut the ribbon on a namesake housing development for low-income residents and the formerly homeless in Philadelphia. The 55-unit JBJ Soul Homes opened in the Francisville neighborhood after about 18 months of construction. Bon Jovi’s Soul Foundation provided the lead gift for the $16.6 million complex, which he hopes will offer tenants the support they need to get back on their feet. “This is not a handout, it’s just a hand up,” Bon Jovi said in an interview before the official ceremony. “This opportunity for them is special and it’s not easy to come by.” The four -story building, which was financed by public and private funds, also includes retail and office space. Residents will receive social services from Project HOME, a nonprofit dedicated to ending homelessness in Philadelphia. HOME stands for Housing, Opportunities, Medical and Education. JBJ Soul Homes is “taking our work to a whole new level,” said Project HOME co-founder Sister Mary Scullion. The grand opening of the facility, which
coincides with the agency’s 25th anniversary, is part of an initiative to build 500 such units across the city, Scullion said. Two developments totaling nearly 200 units are scheduled for groundbreaking over the coming year, she said. Residents of JBJ Soul Homes will have access to basic medical care, employment training and educational classes; they are required to contribute part of their income toward rent. Several units have been set aside for young adults to help them transition out of programs for homeless teens. One new resident, 53-year-old Anthony Gulley, said he had been sleeping in a local park when outreach workers from Project HOME began talking to him. Although resistant at first, Gulley said he eventually agreed to come in from the cold. He stayed at a couple of shelters and attended regular counseling sessions before qualifying for JBJ Soul Homes. He now hopes to get a barber’s license. “I’m getting myself back together, and this is a big, big step,” Gulley said. “When they give you the help, you have to be willing to do what they ask you to do. It’s beautiful.”
Roswell Daily Record
available tickets have been sold. The average U.S. moviegoer might not be able to name a Bollywood flick that isn’t called “Slumdog Millionaire,” which won the 2008 Academy Award for Best Picture. But that could change, with movies such as “The Lunchbox,” a quiet romance from 2013 set in Mumbai. It won the Critics Week Viewers Choice Award at Cannes. “We want to make people aware of Indian cinema,” said Deepika Padukone, an actor who has more than 5 million followers on Twitter and was named the “world’s sexiest Indian” by the Indian edition of FHM magazine. That’s not to say Bollywood is struggling. With a population of 1.2 billion people, Bollywood films can quickly become a box office smash based on sheer volume. Plus, labor and marketing costs are cheap compared to U.S. films. The average U.S. flick costs $47.7 million, while the average film in India
costs about $1.5 million to make, said Uday Singh, the chairman of the Los Angeles India Film Council. “Bollywood” is the term for the film industry based in Mumbai (Bombay). Although it is used mostly to refer to the lengthy songand-dance movies in the Hindi language, it’s become somewhat of a catchall term for Indian films. India is a large country with many different languages, religions and customs, and its films reflect those cultures — not every movie from India is a Hindi musical. The Indian industry makes more than four times as many films as Hollywood, Joseph said, and sells 3.6 billion tickets a year. That’s enough movie tickets to get more than half the world’s population inside a theater, and about a quarter of those were sold in North America.
NYC carriage-horse ban stalled
NEW YORK (AP) — Mayor Bill de Blasio is pulling back the reins on his plans to quickly get rid of New York City’s horse-drawn carriage industry, stung by a recent outpouring of support for the colorful coaches that have clip-clopped their way through Central Park for more than 150 years. A campaign pledge to take on the horses during his first week as mayor was eclipsed by other issues. And as he nears his fourth month in office, he has encountered enough resistance from the usually compliant City Council to slow his plans again, now saying an industry he calls cruel and inhumane will be gone by year’s end. What changed? For one, a media blitz led by actor Liam Neeson has portrayed the horse-drawn carriage industry as an iconic, romantic part of New York that provides about 400 jobs, many to Irish immigrants. In a series of
editorials and TV interviews, he has said the operators treat their 200 working horses like their own children. “I can appreciate a happy and well-cared-for horse when I see one,” Neeson wrote in an op-ed piece in The New York Times. “It has been my experience, always, that horses, much like humans, are at their happiest and healthiest when working.” The next blow came when a series of city unions — who usually are de Blasio’s staunchest allies — broke with the mayor, urging him to reconsider his decision in order to save not only the industry’s hundreds of jobs but a profitable source of tourism. A recent poll revealed that nearly two-thirds of New Yorkers were in favor of keeping the horses at least in Central Park and were lukewarm on de Blasio’s plan to put the horse drivers to work instead giving
rides in old-timey electric cars. Last week, the city’s newspapers piled on. A story in the Times on the unveiling of the $150,000 prototype electric car described it as “the industrial spawn of a rickshaw and Thomas the Tank Engine,” while an editorial bluntly urged de Blasio to “let the horses and carriages alone.” New York’s Daily News launched a front-page campaign called “Save our Horses” that filled its pages with pro-carriage stories and an online petition that has recorded more than 11,000 signatures. And The New Yorker devoted its cover this week to a cartoon depicting a carriage driver pulling the horse, giving the local tempest a national stage (but, like so many ambiguous New Yorker cartoons, it wasn’t clear if it was taking sides on the issue).
