Abuse victims want pope to open Argentina files BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — A Roman Catholic activist group said Tuesday that Pope Francis was slow as head of the Argentine church to act against sexual abuse by clergy and urged him to apologize for what it called church protection for two priests later convicted of sexually assaulting children.

A lawyer for some of the victims, meanwhile, said the future pope, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, had not met with or helped victims, and charged that mid-level church officials who covered up the problem haven’t lost their jobs.

The Buenos Aires archbishop’s office didn’t immediately comment on the complaints, which came as Francis was being installed as pope in a Vatican ceremony seen around the world.

The U.S.-based Bishop Accountability group cited the cases of two priests: Father Julio Cesar Grassi, who ran the “Happy Children” foundation and was convicted of pedophilia in 2008, and Father Napoleon Sasso, convicted in 2007 of abusing girls at a soup kitchen in suburban Buenos Aires, where he was assigned after being accused of pedophilia elsewhere.

Pentagon bans 60 mm mortar round after deaths HAWTHORNE, Nev. (AP) — A mortar shell explosion killed seven Marines and injured a half-dozen more during mountain warfare training in Nevada’s high desert, prompting the Pentagon to immediately halt the use of the weapons until an investigation can determine their safety, officials said Tuesday.

The explosion occurred Monday night at the Hawthorne Army Depot, a sprawling facility used by troops heading overseas, during an exercise involving the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force from Camp Lejeune, N.C. Several Marines from the unit were injured in the blast, authorities said.

The mortar round exploded in its firing tube during the exercise, Brig. Gen. Jim Lukeman said at a news conference at Camp Lejeune. He said investigators were trying to determine the cause of the malfunction.

The Pentagon expanded a temporary ban to prohibit the military from firing any 60 mm mortar rounds until the results of the investigation.

Tech baseball upsets No. 20 Arizona State

By ZACH DISCHIANO SPORTS EDITOR

It all came down to pitching in the Texas Tech–Arizona State baseball game Tuesday night, and the No. 20 Sun Devils failed to throw strikes when it mattered most.

The Red Raiders beat the Sun Devils 8-7, largely because of a poor pitching performance

by Arizona State and exceptional plate discipline by Tech during the bottom of the ninth inning.

The Sun Devils came out strong in the first inning, knocking in three runs off four hits during the first inning alone. Freshman pitcher Johnathon Tripp retired the first two batters of the inning, but could not close out the side. A visit from Tech coach Tim Tadlock to the mound seemed to have a positive effect because after the visit, Tripp retired eight consecutive batters.

Tech quickly answered with a run of its own during the first and a three-run inning during the third.

“It seems like a lot of times we score a lot of runs early, but when we’re down we always come back strong,” Tech junior right fielder Devon Conley said. “We never get away from our approach.”

During the fourth inning, the Sun Devils tied the game at four. Tripp was able to get out of the inning without allowing any more runs and finished the game with four earned runs off six hits and three strikeouts. The Red Raiders were

able to retaliate with a run in the bottom half of the fourth, regaining the lead in the process.

Sophomore pitcher Corey Taylor took over for Tripp in the fifth. The Sun Devils were able to put runners on base, but yielded no runs during the inning. Tech also failed to put anything on the board.

Taylor was able to retire one batter during the sixth before Tadlock brought out junior pitcher Andre Wheeler to face Arizona State first baseman David Graybill. With one man on, Graybill grounded to Wheeler, who threw over the head of Tech freshman first baseman Eric Gutierrez for the error.

Wheeler bounced back to strike out catcher Nathaniel Causey immediately following the error. Center fielder Kasey Coffmann stepped up to the plate and drove a hard grounder down the third base line to Jake Barrios, who made a sliding stop and launched the ball to Gutierrez to end the inning.

“Our defense needs to be there every day,” Barrios said. “That’s what coach preaches, you know. Defense, pitching, baserunning, stuff like that’s got to be there every day and when that ball is hit, I expect myself to make that play every time.”

For the Red Raiders, sophomore second baseman Bryant Burleson was the only player to reach base during the sixth after he was hit by a pitch. Tech was unable to capitalize on the opportunity to extend the lead, and the Sun Devils ended the inning.

TEXAS TECH UPSET the No. 20 Arizona State Sun Devils during the 8-7 victory Tuesday at Rip Griffin Park.

A steal and a wild pitch got Arizona State second baseman James McDonald to third base with one out. Wheeler struck out Rossiter for the second out of the inning, but left fielder Jake Peevyhouse doubled off a soft pop up to shallow center field, with three Red Raiders chasing after it and no one able to track it down. The double scored McDonald, and the Sun Devils tied the game for a second time. Sun Devils right fielder Trever Allen flew out to left field to end the inning.

Texas Tech researchers and High Energy Physics Group have been working with the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) to discover the Higgs boson particle.

According to a news release, evidence found last July suggested researchers had found the “God particle.” The “God” or Higgs Boson particle, is a subatomic particle that is believed to give all matter mass.

A book published in 1993 and co-written by a Nobel Prize winning physicist titled, “The God Particle: If the Universe is The

Question, What is The Answer?” is where the term “God particle” was coined.

Nural Akchurin, a Tech physics professor, working on the project in 1993 in Waxahachie.

AKCHURIN “We’ve been at this project for 20 years,” Akchurin said.

“And only the last two years we started to take data, only in the last year or so we could

say something about the Higgs.

It’s been a long time coming for us.”

S u n g - Wo n Lee, an associate professor, worked on proton and electron collision in several different LEE places including Germany before starting research at Tech.

Higgs is like one big missing piece to the universal puzzle, Lee said.

“Why people are now exciting about this,” he said. “We believe we found this [particle] with the mass in everything.”

Lee and Akchurin said they collaborate daily with a team of researchers at Fermilab in Chicago and frequently travel to the European Organization for Nuclear Research lab in Switzerland where the Large Hadron Collider is deep below Geneva.

According to the news release, Akchurin, along with three other Tech professors, designed and built the calorimeters, which are responsible for collecting data pertaining to the Higgs boson particle.

Following the seventh inning stretch, the Sun Devils continued its strong pitching and retired the side with no runs, hits or errors and the game progressed into the eighth inning tied at seven.

The Sun Devils took the lead after an RBI single from Causey. Wheeler was able to escape the inning without allowing any more runs, and the Sun Devils took the field.

The committee works in tandem with the U.S. Department of Agriculture to ensure the safety and correct labeling of the country’s food, according to the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service website.

Loneragan will work with other researchers on the committee to provide federal agencies with the information to create food safety systems that will help improve both imported and domestic food for both people and animals, according to a news release.

Loneragan specializes his research on epidemiological approaches to food safety and animal health, and has worked professionally as an epidemiologist in the past, according to his faculty page on the Department of Animal and Food Sciences’ website.

According to the USDA’s website, Loneragan, 21 newly appointed members and eight alumni will serve on the committee for a two-year term ending in 2015. ➤➤check@dailytoreador.com

BUTTERFLY EFFECT

Progress slows to avoid shutdown

WASHINGTON (AP) — A dispute over budget cuts that threaten dozens of smaller control towers with closure slowed Senate progress Tuesday on legislation to avoid a government shutdown on March 27.

Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kan., refused repeatedly to permit final passage of the measure unless Democrats first allow a vote on his plan for erasing most of the cuts aimed at towers operated by Federal Aviation Administration contract employees.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., just as persistently declined to give in, and other Democrats noted that House Republicans had rejected calls to give all federal agencies the type of budget flexibility that Moran was seeking.

The test of wills endured as Republicans and Democrats in Congress struggled with two goals — ensuring there is no interruption of routine government funding while simultaneously vying for political advantage in the wake of $85 billion in across-the-board spending cuts that kicked in earlier this month.

Across the Capitol, the Republican-

controlled House began debate on a budget that promises to eliminate federal deficits in decade. The blueprint, authored by Rep. Paul Ryan, D-Wis., calls for $6.4 trillion in spending cuts and no tax increases, and is expected to clear by week’s end.

For their part, Senate Republicans kept their distance from the plan, deciding not to seek a symbolic vote on it when the Senate begins its own budget debate later in the week.

Sensing an opportunity for political mischief, Senate Democrats vowed not to let Republicans off easy. They said they would require a vote on Ryan’s budget — even though they unanimously oppose it.

As gridlock gripped the Senate, the top U.S. commander in South America told Congress the cuts would reduce if not eliminate the entire fleet of ships used to counter drug-runners.

Gen. John Kelly said that U.S. forces seized 150 to 200 tons of cocaine last year. If the budget cuts stand, “next year all of that will make its way ashore and into the United States,” he told the Senate Armed Services Committee.

Worker admits cutting 10 babies at abortion clinic PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A medical assistant told a jury Tuesday that she snipped the spines of at least 10 babies during unorthodox abortions at a West Philadelphia clinic, at the direction of the clinic’s owner.

And she said Dr. Kermit Gosnell and another employee did the same to terminate pregnancies.

Adrienne Moton’s testimony came in the capital murder trial of Gosnell, who owned the clinic and is on trial in the deaths of a patient and seven babies. Prosecutors accuse him of killing late-term, viable babies after they were delivered alive, in violation of state abortion laws.

Gosnell’s lawyer disputes that any babies were born alive and challenges the gestational age of the aborted fetuses.

Moton, the first employee to testify, sobbed as she recalled taking a cellphone photograph of one baby left in her work area in 2008. She thought

tions are banned after 20 weeks.

The Chester woman said she was given abortion drugs in Delaware and sent home the first two days, then was directed to the West Philadelphia clinic the third day. She was in severe pain by then, pain that only worsened the following week, she said.

Her aunt had taken her to the clinic and paid the $1,300 fee, and they had not told her mother.

“I never felt pain like that, ever,” the woman said. “I couldn’t talk to anybody and tell anybody.”

But the teen ended up being hospitalized for two weeks with a large abscess and a blood clot near her heart. Prosecutors say she is one of countless patients injured during botched abortions or unsanitary conditions.

One patient, a 41-year-old refugee, died after an overdose of drugs allegedly given to her during a 2009 abortion.

Moton, 35, had lived with Gosnell’s family during high school because of problems at home, then went to work for him years later. She earned about $10 an hour — off the books — to administer drugs, perform ultrasounds, help with abortions and dispose of fetal remains from 2005 to 2008.

She once had to kill a baby delivered in a toilet, cutting its neck with scissors, she said. Asked if she knew that was wrong, she said, “At first I didn’t.”

Abortions are typically performed in utero.

Moton has pleaded guilty to thirddegree murder, which carries a 20- to 40-year term, as well as conspiracy and other charges. She has been in prison since early 2011, when Philadelphia prosecutors arrested Gosnell, his third wife, Pearl, and eight other employees. Most of them have pleaded guilty and are expected to testify.

sistent with the properties that’s to be expected, that’s why we keep saying it’s Higgs. It seems to be this particular mechanism, this particular way.”

Akchurin said he believes that this project is important, despite the challenges it has faced.

“I think to people who maybe have not thought about this too much or haven’t really read up on it and stuff it sounds esoteric, a little out there, too much money, too expensive,” he said.

Although Akchurin faced doubts from others about the cost and magnitude of the research, he said he would like to continue the advancement of the project.

“This is an important part of our knowledge base,” he said.

“Our history, arts, our civilization, all those things. Universities are the places to that kind of stuff young people get excited about ideas different things, explore.”

According to the release, at least five mass-giving particles, such as the Higgs Boson particle, may exist.

“There are too many physics processes in the context of the Standard Model that look like Higgs,” Lee said in the release.

“So, the searching for Higgs is one of the most sophisticated efforts in the LHC physics program. There are huge amounts of statistical data, understanding the other physics processes, and understanding our detector also.”

Tech, he said in the release, is integrated in the international research effort.

“Texas Tech is well integrated into this international research effort,” Lee said. “We play a leading role in that part. I’m happy to say we’ve done a good job over many, many years. I believe that Texas Tech’s High Energy Physics Group at CERN has excellent teamwork, and that is why we’ve done so well for many years.”

Lee and Akchurin will give a lecture on the “God” particle April 1 and 4 and said all students are welcome to attend.

“This kind of thing can accelerate student interest in fundamental science,” Lee said.

he could have survived, given his size and pinkish color. She had measured him at nearly 30 weeks.

Gosnell later joked that the baby was so big he could have walked to the bus stop, she said.

Jurors saw Moton’s photograph of the boy called “Baby A” on a large screen in the courtroom, which took on a bizarre look Tuesday as witnesses testified near a hospital bed with stirrups and other aging obstetric equipment. Denied the chance to bring jurors to the shuttered inner-city clinic, prosecutors are instead recreating a patient room in court.

The mother of “Baby A” testified Tuesday afternoon, describing a painful three-day abortion process that started at Gosnell’s clinic in Delaware. She was 17, had an infant daughter and was told by Gosnell she was 24 weeks pregnant — the legal limit in Pennsylvania, but not in neighboring Delaware, where abor-

Study abroad students to display photos in exhibit

By LIANA SOLIS STAFF WRITER

The hundreds of students that have received the opportunity to study abroad came back not only with knowledge and insight, but photographs to remember their experiences.

The International Cultural Center will open its annual study abroad photo exhibit at 4:30 p.m. Thursday.

Jane Bell, the senior director of the ICC, said she started putting this exhibit together in 2004.

“With study abroad becom-

ing such a huge part of so many students’ college experience, we wanted to highlight the beautiful images and adventures that our students have had while studying abroad,” she said.

The photographs displayed were captured by Texas Tech students who have studied abroad, Bell said.

“The photographs depict a multitude of subjects — from bullfights and flamenco dancers to bell towers, gargoyles and idyllic beaches, and everything in between,” she said.

Students were given the opportunity to send in their photos

for a chance to be entered in the photo contest, Bell said.

Jesse Malone, the study abroad counselor, said she was in charge of going through the entered photos and choosing which photos would be included in the exhibit.

“I went to view the exhibit last year and absolutely loved it,” Malone said, “so when Jane needed someone to help her this year, I knew it would be something I would enjoy helping with.”

This year has been the best turnout for the number of photos entered, she said.

Henry Moore, Auguste Rodin meet PERRY GREEN, England (AP) — Henry Moore has company on his muddy home turf.

At the late British artist’s former home in the English countryside, swooping sculptures sit on rainsodden fields, and sheep graze at the base of monumental bronzes. Now they have been joined by figures created by Auguste Rodin, for an exhibition that aims to tease out the connections between the French master sculptor and the English modernist.

The only problem, right now, is the weather. Britain’s long, wet winter has left the countryside a soaking mess. Unlike most art shows, this one is best approached in waterproof boots.

“You’ve got water on the fields reflecting the forms, which is beautiful — but it’s muddy,” curator Anita Feldman said during a preview of the show on Tuesday. “But the lambs are out, which is beautiful.”

The Henry Moore Foundation

owns the house and farmland where the artist lived from the 1940s until his death in 1986. Set amid woods and fields about 30 miles (50 kilometers) north of London, it is a gallery and sculpture park devoted to the work of Moore, whose large, fluidly curved bronzes stand in 39 countries around the world.

“Moore Rodin,” which opens March 29 and runs to Oct. 27, marks the first time the foundation has placed pieces by another artist alongside Moore’s work on the lawns and fields.

The two artists never met; Moore was a 19-year-old soldier in World War I when Rodin died in 1917. But Moore Foundation Director Richard Calvocoressi said that between then they “reinvented the language of figurative sculpture.”

Feldman acknowledged that people may not immediately see the connections between Moore — best known for massive abstracted forms — and Rodin, creator of “The

Thinker” and other iconic human figures.

“The first thing people think of with Henry Moore is that it’s weighty and static and timeless,” she said Tuesday. “Whereas Rodin is all about movement and gesture.”

Rodin’s muscular nudes are more obviously classical in inspiration than Moore’s stretched and warped figures.

But Feldman said Moore admired Rodin and owned a cast of the French artist’s “Walking Man,” which he photographed in detail.

And the two are both unmistakably modern artists: Inspired by antiquity and by Renaissance geniuses like Michelangelo, they studied classical art then took it apart.

Feldman said both felt that “by breaking down and condensing form you can distill it to something that’s essential.”

“They are connecting with the past to make a modern sculpture that is very humanistic,” Feldman said.

American gets back art taken by Nazis during WWII PARIS (AP) — Tom Selldorff was 6 years old when he saw his grandfather’s prized art collection for the last time in 1930s Vienna, before it fell into Nazi hands.

Now, he’s 84 — and in a ceremony in Paris on Tuesday, the American was finally given back a piece of his late grandfather’s memory: France has returned six of his stolen family masterpieces.

The restitution of the works — including paintings by Alessandro Longhi and Sebastiano Ricci — is part of France’s ongoing effort to return hundreds of looted artworks that Jewish owners lost during the war that still hang in the Louvre and other museums. The

move ends years of struggle for Selldorff, whose claims were validated by the French government last year after years of researching the fates of the works.

“I’m extremely grateful and very moved,” said Selldorff, who flew in from Boston for the event at France’s Culture Ministry, where the oil paintings were on temporary display. “These paintings were in this fog of war. The restitution... was not easy. It took a long time.”

The artworks were stolen or sold under duress some seven decades ago as Jewish industrialist and art collector Richard Neumann — Selldorff’s grandfather — and his family fled Nazi-occupied Europe. The collection

— whose original size is unknown — was his ticket out, though he sold it for a fraction of its value. The route the artworks took to show up in French museums is unclear, making their way to places like the Museum of Modern Art of Saint-Etienne, the Agen Fine Arts Museum, the Tours Fine Art Museum, and the Louvre.

“After losing most of his family assets and a good part of his collection to the Nazis in Austria in 1938, he came to Paris for several years and then had to flee again, this time with my grandmother at one point on foot over the Pyrenees, to Spain, and then eventually to Cuba,” Selldorff said.

Sandra Crosier, director of the study abroad program, said she loves helping with and visiting the exhibit every year.

“This year we chose 64 out of the 90 pictures sent into display,” Crosier said. “It’s a great time for friends and family to see what studying abroad is like.”

Once the chosen photos are displayed, a juror goes through them to pick the top six photos to receive a ribbon, Malone said.

“We also provide ballots for the people who visit to vote on their favorite photo,” Bell said.

“The photo with the most votes receives the People’s Choice

award.”

The exhibit officially opens Thursday and will continue to be on display for one month, Crosier said.

“This is a special chance for the students to show off their experience,” Malone said. “We also hope that other students see these photos and decide to study abroad too.”

Crosier said this exhibit has been an important and exciting part of the program for many years.

“It’s wonderful to see what the students get to experience,” Crosier said. “It brings back so

many memories for me and others who have studied or lived abroad, too.”

The exhibit is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday for visitors to view and vote on their favorite photo, Bell said.

“I thinks it’s really hard for students to try to explain to someone what their experience was like when they studied abroad,” Malone said. “This exhibit gives them another way to portray the things they saw and show their experience through photos.” ➤➤lsolis@dailytoreador.com

Court backs student in textbook copyright case WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that textbooks and other goods made and sold abroad can be re-sold online and in discount stores without violating U.S. copyright law. The outcome was a huge relief to eBay, Costco and other businesses that trade in products made outside the U.S. In a 6-3 opinion, the court threw out a copyright infringement award to publisher John Wiley & Sons against Thai graduate student Supap Kirtsaeng, who used eBay to resell copies of the publisher’s copyrighted books that his relatives first bought abroad at cut-rate prices.

Justice Stephen Breyer said in his opinion for the court that once goods are sold lawfully, whether in the U.S. or elsewhere, publishers and manufacturers lose the protection of U.S. copyright law.

“We hold that the ‘first sale’ doctrine applies to copies of a copyrighted work lawfully made abroad,” Breyer said.

Had the court come out the other

way, it would have crimped the sale of many goods sold online and in discount stores, and it would have complicated the tasks of museums and libraries that contain works produced outside the United States, Breyer said. Retailers told the court that more than $2.3 trillion worth of foreign goods were imported in 2011, and that many of these goods were bought after they were first sold abroad, he said.

Aaron Moss, a Los Angeles-based lawyer who is representsing Costco in a related case, said the court “correctly rejected the idea that this has anything to do with geography.”

In a dissent for herself and Justices Anthony Kennedy and Antonin Scalia, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said the court was ignoring Congress’ aim of protecting “copyright owners against the unauthorized importation of low-priced, foreign-made copies of their copyrighted works.”

The movie and music businesses, software makers and other manufacturers worry that the decision allows

unauthorized sales to undercut their businesses.

“The ruling for Kirtsaeng will send a tremor through the publishing industries, harming both U.S. businesses and consumers around the world. Today’s decision will create a strong disincentive for publishers to market different versions and sell copies at different prices in different regions. The practical result may very well be that consumers and students abroad will see dramatic price increases or entirely lose their access to valuable U.S. resources created specifically for them,” said Keith Kupferschmid, general counsel for the Software & Information Industry Association.

Justice Elena Kagan, joined by Justice Samuel Alito, said in a separate opinion that Congress is free to change the law if it thinks holders of copyrights need more protection.

Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Clarence Thomas also were part of the court’s majority.

Bell’s baserunning key to Red Raiders’ upset of Sun Devils

By PAIGE SKINNER LA VIDA EDITOR

With a tied ballgame in the bottom of the fourth inning between the Red Raiders (158) and the Sun Devils (12-5-1), Texas Tech sophomore center fielder Brett Bell hit a single to left field with one out.

While Tech sophomore second baseman Bryant Burleson saw several pitches from Arizona State junior pitcher Zak Miller, Bell made a run for it and stole second base.

After a few more pitches from Miller, Bell stole again, reaching good scoring position at third base. Burleson popped out to end his at-bat.

Randolph popped one into the outfield for a leadoff double, and a sacrifice bunt turned base hit moved Randolph over to third with no outs.

Alec Humpherys came in to pinch hit for left fielder Todd Ritchie, and earned a walk to load the bases, still with no outs. Bell grounded into a double play and scored Randolph, leaving one runner on third with two outs.

Arizona State’s closer, Ryan Burr, entered the game for the Sun Devils and forced a groundout from Burleson.

McDonald singled to begin the seventh, and junior pitcher Jerad McCrummen entered the game for the Red Raiders. Rossiter laid down

Tech took the lead 5-4 in the bottom of the fourth inning.

Bell’s stolen bases helped Tech hold its lead until the seventh inning, when Tech began its back-and-forth battle against the No. 20 team in the nation.

Tech won 8-7 after a nearly fourhour game.

Bell’s two stolen bases during Tuesday night’s game contributed to his season record of four games with multiple stolen bases. He now totals at 12 for the season and leads his team in stolen bases.

Tech coach Tim Tadlock said Bell’s running made a difference for the game.

“Oh, he can run the bases,” Tadlock said. “We’re excited when he runs. It was big that time in the game. (Arizona State) had just scored a run, he

got us a run back. It’s big.”

As well as the stolen bases, Bell hit a single — allowing him to have reached base safely in nine consecutive games — and scored a run.

As the Red Raiders trailed in the eighth inning 6-5 with the bases loaded, Bell hit into a double play, scoring Mason Randolph tying the game in the eighth. Bell did not receive an RBI, but still was able to help Tech on multiple occasions get back into the game.

After the game, Bell tweeted about his excitement for the win.

“Hell of a team win tonight,” he tweeted. “I’m honored to say I play on this team. You guys are so raw. #TTU #GreatGame #grind.”

Peevyhouse hit an RBI single out to center field to give the Sun Devils the 7-6 lead. A double play ended the inning.

“It’s a nine inning game,” Tadlock said. “Not an eight, or a seven inning game. We’re getting better at playing nine innings. We don’t do it all the time, but we’re getting better at it.”

Conley struck out after a long battle at the plate to begin the bottom of the ninth. Gutierrez walked, and A.J. Florence came in to pinch run for Tech. Florence stole second for the first time in his career, and put the Red Raiders in scoring position with one out. Jarrard Poteete walked, and Proudfoot made another plate appearance. With runners on first and second, Burr threw a wild pitch

past home plate and advanced the runners to second and third. Proudfoot worked a full count, but was unable to connect on the last pitch of the at-bat and struck out. Randolph stepped to the plate with a chance to tie or win the game. After another full count, Burr walked Randolph to load the bases with two outs.

Barrios fell behind 1-2 in the count before Burr hit him on a wild pitch, scoring the tying run. Scott LeJune came in to pinch hit with the bases loaded. LeJune worked another full count and Burr threw a called ball four to score the final run of the game and gave Tech the victory.

“It was a neat rally, there in the end,” Tadlock said. “Their pitcher obviously competed, and he was trying, but he did allow some free baserunners. He walked four in an inning.

Spears looking for a Super Bowl ring with Ravens BALTIMORE (AP) — Marcus Spears likes the way he fits into the Baltimore Ravens defense, and the veteran runstopper admires the team’s ability to be a consistent winner.

So it didn’t take a whole lot of negotiations to convince the former Dallas Cowboys starter to begin the next phase of his NFL career with the reigning Super Bowl champions.

“It was an easy process,” Spears said Tuesday, one day after signing a two-year contract as a free agent. “It happened pretty quickly, which I was glad about. It’s a great situation.”

Spears said Kansas City, Jacksonville and New England were in hot pursuit after the 6-foot-4, 315-pound defensive

end became a salary-cap casualty in Dallas.

“To be honest with you, it didn’t take any time after I knew Baltimore wanted to sign me,” Spears said. “I wanted to get it done with the Ravens.”

The 30-year-old Spears was the 20th overall pick by Dallas in 2005. He has played in 119 games, including 89 starts, collecting 185 tackles and 10 sacks.

Baltimore hopes the addition of Spears and free agent lineman Chris Canty will fortify the front of a defense that has already lost starters Dannell Ellerbe, Paul Kruger and Cary Williams this offseason.

“The base of a good defense is to be good along the defensive

line,” Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome said. “We didn’t play to our standards last season, partly because of injury.

With the expected better health of players like Haloti Ngata and Pernell McPhee and the additions of Marcus Spears and Chris Canty, we have a chance to improve.”

Spears figures playing with the Ravens gives him a great chance to be part of a winner.

“It’s a football team that contends every year with the opportunity to win the big show,” he said. “To be a part of that is a no-brainer for a guy like me that’s going into his ninth year.

We’re all striving to get that hardware, and every guy there last year has that (ring) coming

in the mail. I’m hoping we can re-incarnate what happened last year and move it into this year so I can get that shiny thing put on my fingers.”

Spears expressed no animosity toward the Cowboys.

“A lot of things have to work out for you to stay in one place for eight years. It was a total blessing,” Spears said. “But I’m also as excited to come play in this market with this football team. It has me to an excitement level where you almost feel like a rookie again. My years in Dallas were great for me, and I’ll never forget it, but to try to make new memories and hopefully win a championship with Baltimore is a great opportunity.”

Make it worth the wait.
