Tennessee guards Quinton Chievous, left, and Jordan McRae were dejected after losing to Alabama on Friday.
The mood was not any better Sunday when the Vols were left out of the NCAA tournament.
VOLS LEFT OUT
UT MISSES NCAA TOURNAMENT
FOR SECOND YEAR IN A ROW
By Patrick Brown
Staff Writer
KNOXVILLE — Cuonzo Martin
stood in the same spot on the night of
Selection Sunday for the third consecutive year.
But it’s been a different feeling each
year for Tennessee’s basketball coach.
For the second consecutive season,
the Volunteers were left out of the
NCAA tournament and relegated to
the National Invitation Tournament,
where Tennessee hosts Atlantic Sun
Conference regular-season champion
Mercer on Wednesday at 8 p.m.
“It seems like, at times, every year
it’s something different,” Martin said
in the lobby of Tennessee’s basketball
offices Sunday night after the dust had
settled. “But once again, like I tell our
guys, we’ve got to keep it out of the
committee’s hands, and that’s the most
important thing. It seems like I’m say-
ing something different every year.”
Either the last team in the 68-team
field or one of the first teams out, Tennessee appeared likely to end up in a
first-round play-in game in Dayton on
Tuesday or Wednesday night.
Those spots instead went to Middle
Tennessee State, St. Mary’s, La Salle
and Boise State.
Two years ago, Martin, then at his
third season at Missouri State, was in
the same position as those mid-major
conference teams that earned at-large
bids, but the Bears were left out of the
NCAA field after losing in the Missouri
Valley Conference tournament despite
winning that league’s regular-season
title.
“I’ve been at the mid-major level,
and I know how hard you have to work,
and sometimes at the mid-major to

SAVANNAH, Ga. — The Georgia Historical Society is in the front
seat of a multiorganization effort
to study the old Dixie Highway, a
circa-1915 route from Michigan to
Miami that usually was unpaved,
often unmarked and is now largely
forgotten.
The decadelong development of
the highway, which coincided with
the mass production of the affordable Ford Model T, helped ignite
the birth of automobile tourism in
Georgia, said W. Todd Groce, president and chief executive officer of
the GHS.
But the genesis of the project
was in Chattanooga.

The April 1915 organizational

Association at the Patten Hotel
on Market Street drew more than
5,000 people, according to the Chattanooga History Center and the
Tennessee Encyclopedia of History
and Culture.
Chattanooga was chosen because
it was roughly the halfway point
between the planned ends of the
road. The first meeting included
governors from Indiana, Illinois,
Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia
and Florida. Five local members of

The Savannah Morning News
While the first official day
of spring is Wednesday, Chattanooga residents would agree that
warmer weather visited the area
much sooner than the calendar
predicted.
Average temperatures this
winter were 5 to 6 degrees above
historic averages, and the area
received 4 more inches of rain
than usual.
But the averages don’t tell the
whole story.
Paul Barys, chief meteorologist for WRCB-Channel 3, said
this winter was “more of a roller
coaster ride.”
There was a 51-degree difference in temperature extremes,
from 21 degrees in February to 72
degrees on three days in December and January.
“This winter we’ve had warmups followed by some significant
cool-offs,” said Andrew Pritchett,

Japanese
architect wins
Pritzker Prize
Michael Vick
reaches out
to help youth
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
LOS ANGELES — Japanese architect Toyo Ito, whose
buildings have been praised
for their fluid beauty and balance between the physical and
virtual world,
has won the
2013 Pritzker
Architecture
Prize, the
prize’s jury
announced
Sunday.
The 71year-old
Toyo Ito
architect
joins such masters as Frank
Gehry, I.M. Pei, Tadao Ando,
Renzo Piano and Wang Su
in receiving the honor that’s
been called architecture’s
Nobel Prize. Ito, the sixth
Japanese architect to receive
the prize, was recognized
for the libraries, houses,
theaters, offices and other
buildings he has designed in
Japan and beyond.
“Toyo Ito’s architecture
has improved the quality of
both public and private spaces,” said U.S. Supreme Court
Justice Stephen Breyer, who
served on the Pritzker Prize
jury. “It has inspired many
architects, critics and members of the general public
alike. Along with all others
involved with the Pritzker
Prize, I am very pleased that
he has received the award,”
Breyer said.
Some of Ito’s notable creations include the curvaceous
Municipal Funeral Hall in
Gifu, Japan; the transparent
Sendai Mediatheque library
in Miyagi, Japan; the spiral
White O residence in Marbella, Chile; and the angular
2002 Serpentine Gallery
Pavilion in London.

Michael Vick to sign copies
of his new book about his

Threats recently forced
Vick to cancel several book
signings, including one
scheduled at an Atlanta
bookstore. The autobiography, “Michael Vick: Finally
Free”, chronicles his life and
the events surrounding his
incarceration on dogfighting
charges.
“That’s a very small selective group of people who
still have their own form of
hatred,” Vick said. “But you
know, I think the most important thing for me to do is to
continue to stay positive and
continue to do the right thing
because that’s what’s going to
make a difference. You gotta
move forward.”
The Philadelphia Eagles
quarterback and former
Atlanta Falcon said he was
glad that he was in a position
to inspire and help others as
others helped him get to the
place he is today. He urged
men — and women — in the
audience to mentor young
people.
“There are a lot of kids
who need help,” Vick said. “I

on how the younger generation is raised.”

Madonna calls on
Boy Scouts to lift
ban on gays
NEW YORK — Wearing
a replica of one of the organization’s uniforms, Madonna
called on the Boy Scouts to lift
its ban on gays while also calling for a “revolution” to prevent
discrimination and abuse of the
gay, lesbian, transgender and
bisexual community.
Speaking Saturday night at
the GLAAD Media Awards,
Madonna started off in a mischievous mood. She joked that
she wanted to become a part of
the Boy Scouts herself, but was
turned down, even though she
had the qualifications.
“I can build a fire. I know
how to pitch a tent,” said
Madonna, sporting a Boy Scouts
troop leader hat and a blue shirt
and shorts set that included
replicas of Boy Scout badges.
“I can rescue kittens from
trees. Most importantly, I know
how to scout for boys,” she
said, before adding, “I think
they should change their stupid
rules.”
The Boy Scouts of America
does not permit openly gay
people to serve in the organization — a decision that has come
under increasing fire over the
years.
“When I think about young
kids in America who are being
bullied and tortured, who are
taking their own lives because
they feel alone and judged, outcast and misunderstood, I want
to sit down and cry a river of
tears,” Madonna said.
‘Oz’ again tops box office with $42.2 million

Yokohama-shi, Japan.
NEW YORK — “Oz the
Great and Powerful” is living up to its name at the box
office.
Walt Disney’s 3-D blockbuster led all films for the
second week in a row, taking
in $42.2 million, according to
studio estimates Sunday. Sam
Raimi’s prequel to the L. Frank
Baum classic “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” also took in
$46.6 million overseas, leading
to a two-week worldwide total
of $281.8 million.
In a winter of underperforming releases, that makes
“Oz” easily the biggest hit of
2013 so far.
“Boy, did we need it,” said
Paul Dergarabedian, box-office
analyst for Hollywood.com.
“There have been a lot of boxoffice casualties this year. This
is the shot in the arm that we
needed, but we’re still waiting
for the marketplace to gain
some sort of momentum.”
The box office is down nearly 13 percent from last year.
Among the weekend’s
debuts, the Halle Berry thriller
“The Call” far exceeded expectations with a $17.1 million
opening for Sony and TriStar
Pictures. The Steve Carell
magician comedy “The Incredible Burt Wonderstone” fared
worse, opening with a disappointing $10.3 million for Warner Bros.

College mourns coach killed in crash
By Kevin Begos
and Ron Todt
GREENSBURG, Pa. —
Somber athletes, students
and school staff hugged and
cried in a century-old chapel on the campus of a small
Catholic university outside
Pittsburgh on Sunday night,
mourning the loss of a coach,
mother and friend who died
a day earlier along with her
unborn child when the team’s
bus crashed on the way to a
game.
Members of the Seton Hill
University community tearfully gathered at Saint Joseph
Chapel, known on the hilltop campus as “the heart”
of the school, to memorialize victims of the fatal crash
— especially head lacrosse
coach Kristina Quigley, who
was remembered as warm,
outgoing and a natural leader.
Those in attendance were
reminded of their own mortality by the Rev. Jeremiah
O’Shea, who asked: “Aren’t

In these parts, warm
winters often come in
pairs. Despite this season’s
ups and downs, the average
temperatures for this winter
and last are only a degree
apart.
These tropical-feeling
“winters” often take residents by surprise, but the
truth is they aren’t as unusual
as some think, Pritchett said.
The winters of 1997-99 and in
2001 and 2002 were milder
than normal, said Pritchett.
But the last 10 to 15 years
have been more characterized by “peaks and valleys,”
said Pritchett. Average temperatures for December
through February of 2010-11
were just 40.4 degrees, and
for 2009-10, 38.3.
WHAT DOES IT ALL
MEAN?
A mild winter certainly
doesn’t guarantee the spring
and summer will follow suit,
but Pritchett said the next
three months look to be
unseasonably warm, as well.
More temperate winters
tend to make conditions better for plants. And pests.
The balmy atmosphere
has caused winter crops,
like wheat, to mature more
rapidly than normal. Norman

said that, on the whole, this is
a good thing. Unless there’s a
late cold snap.

of death?”
Players and coaches from
Seton Hill were among 23
people aboard when the bus
crashed into a tree Saturday morning on the Pennsylvania Turnpike outside
Harrisburg. The team was
headed to an afternoon
game at Millersville University, about 50 miles from the
crash site in central Pennsylvania. Police are investigating the cause.
Quigley, 30, of Greensburg, died of her injuries at a
hospital, Cumberland County
authorities said. Quigley was
about six months pregnant,
and her unborn son didn’t
survive. The bus driver,
Anthony Guaetta, 61, of Johnstown, died at the scene.
The service program read
“In Loving Memory of Kristina Quigley and Son.”
“It’s numbing,” said sophomore Kt Dimmick of Rochester, N.Y., who was friends
with some members of the
team. “There’s really no
much growth on it ... and
then we have a hard freeze,
it could damage it,” he said.
“But right now, things are
going along pretty good.”
And as many allergy sufferers know all too well, more
plants mean more pollen.
Allergists say this year’s pollen counts will be very high.
“If you have a mild winter, you always have a severe
allergy season,” said Lee
Perry, an allergist at the Chattanooga Allergy Clinic.
Perry said last Monday,
the pollen count peaked at
901. Last year, “pollen counts
were off the charts,” he said.
“It’s looking like this year
will be similar.”
Mosquito populations are
expected to be high, too.
Brad Ledford, owner
of Chattanooga Mosquito
Squad, estimates that the
mosquito population doubled last year after the warm,
wet winter. He believes this
year’s mosquito numbers will
be similar to last year’s.
“Last year we did see a
huge population boom,” he
said.
So as you dig out your
flip-flops and your tank tops
in preparation for the coming
sunshine, it may be best to
stock up on allergy medicine

Some members of the

wearing their team jerseys,
walked down the aisle during
the service, holding hands
and fighting back tears. They
were joined at the service
by members of the school’s
track, basketball and baseball
teams. Some students wiped
away tears, while most were
somber and quiet through
the 65-minute long service.

Tony Morocco said Quigley
made in impact in the two
years she was at the school.
“In the short time she
was here, she was really a
sincere person who always
used coaching to touch kids,”
he said. “Often that is so
missed.”
Morocco said that the
school’s mission is to take
a student and develop their
soul. “She did that,” he said.
“What she gave those girls
is going to outlast this,” the
70-year-old Morocco said.

Vols
unveiled, NCAA tournament selection committee
Chairman Mike Bobinksi
was asked during the CBS
telecast about the Vols
being left out.
“Tennessee had a lot of
conversation, as did all of
those last group of teams
that we evaluated,” he said.
“We really worked hard and
have a lot of respect for the
improvement that Tennessee showed down the
stretch of the season. During that time, though, they
honestly didn’t beat a lot of
very powerful teams and,
again, struggled to win on
the road during the course
of the year.
“I think it really came
down to that more than anything, and the sweep during
the season by Ole Miss of
Tennessee was a factor, I
think.”
After starting 11-10 and 36 in the SEC, Tennessee won
nine of its next 11 games, a
stretch that included wins
against Kentucky, Florida
and Missouri and four wins
in five road games.
The Vols, 7-9 in road and
neutral-site games, played
a strong nonconference
schedule. They missed a
potential marquee win in
a one-point loss at Georgetown — a game in which
they made just three of 11
free throws and missed
two game-winning shot
attempts.
Ole Miss and Georgia
swept Tennessee, and the
Vols lost two of three meetings with Alabama.
“As a coach, you’ve got
to put your guys in position
to win ball games,” Martin
said, “so you go back on it,
you look at the early games
in the season and what
could I have done better
as a coach to get this guy
prepared, to get this guy to
make a shot.”
Those might be the same
questions Martin’s asked
himself each of the past
three seasons.

Michelle Obama has invited
the mother and 10-year-old
brother of Hadiya Pendleton,
the Chicago teenager who
was killed in January soon
after taking part in inauguration festivities, to attend the
White House Easter egg roll,
the mother said.
“I just can’t wait to see

him into the young man he’s
going to be.”
Hadiya, a 15-year-old
honor student, was shot to
death Jan. 29 in a park not
far from the Obama family home. Two men were
charged with murder.
“It was sincere. It was
just nice,” the mother said.

LONDON — A painting
donated to Britain’s National Trust by the estate of a
wealthy supporter has been
identified as a Rembrandt
self-portrait worth $30 million, the heritage body said
Monday.
The painting was given
to the trust in 2010 by the
estate of Edna, Lady Samuel
of Wych Cross, whose property-developer husband was
a major collector of Dutch
and Flemish art. It hangs in
Buckland Abbey in southwest
England, the former home of
16th-century seafarer Francis
Drake.
The portrait of the artist wearing a cap with a
large white feather was long
thought to have been done
by one of Rembrandt’s pupils
and was credited as in the
“style of ” the 17th-century
Dutch master.
But the National Trust
said an investigation led by
Ernst van de Wetering, the
world’s leading Rembrandt
expert, had determined it
was by Rembrandt himself.
“It’s amazing to think we
might’ve had an actual Rembrandt hanging here on the
walls at Buckland Abbey for
the past couple of years,” said
Jez McDermott, the National
Trust property manager at
the house.
“We never dared think it
might actually be an original.”
Van de Wetering, chairman
of the Rembrandt Research
Project, said researchers
in 1968 had concluded the
painting — which features
Rembrandt’s signature and
is dated 1635, when the artist was 29 — was likely by
a pupil.
“But over the past 45
years we have gathered far
more knowledge about Rembrandt’s self-portraits and
the fluctuations in his style,”
he said.
He said the painting’s
crude brushwork and painting technique are observed
in other paintings from the
early stage of Rembrandt’s
career.
The painting has been valued at $30 million — but the
trust, whose mandate is to
safeguard Britain’s heritage,
is not allowed to sell it.
The trust said the painting would hang at Buckland
Abbey for eight more months
before being sent for cleaning and further examination,
including x-rays, examination
of paint pigments, infrared
testing and tree-ring dating of the beech panel it is
painted on.

Cellphone talkers are distracting irritants, study shows
If you have just read the
same paragraph 12 times
because the person sitting
next to you on the bus is
chatting on her cellphone,
feel free to show her this:
scientists have found another
piece of evidence that overheard cellphone conversations are far more distracting
and annoying than a dialogue
between two people nearby.
In a study published in the
journal PLoS One, college
students who were asked to
complete anagrams while a
nearby researcher talked on
her cellphone were more irritated and distracted — and
far more likely to remember
the contents of the conversation — than students who
worked on the same puzzles
while the same conversation
was conducted by two people
in the room.
The study is the latest in
a growing body of research
on why cellphones rank so
high on the list of modern
irritants. Mounting evidence
suggests that the habits
encouraged by mobile technology — namely, talking
loudly in public to someone who is not there — are
tailor-made for hijacking
the cognitive functions of
bystanders.
One reason, said Veronica
V. Galvan, an assistant professor of psychology at the
University of San Diego and
the lead author of the study,
is the brain’s desire to fill in
the blanks.
“If you only hear one
person speaking, you’re constantly trying to place that
part of the conversation in
context,” Galvan said. “That’s
naturally going to draw your
attention away from whatever else you’re trying to do.”
It is also a control thing,
Galvan and her colleagues
said. When people are
trapped next to a one-sided
conversation — known
nowadays as a “halfalogue”
— their anger rises in the
same way it does in other
situations where they are not
free to leave, like waiting for
a train.
“If you’re waiting in line
and someone behind you is
talking on a cellphone, you’re
kind of stuck there,” she said,
“and you can have a psychological stress response.”
The brain simply can’t
ignore a stream of desultory
new information, said Lauren
Emberson, the postdoctoral
associate at the University
of Rochester, New York, who
led the Cornell study when
she was working there.
Also, because it is next to
impossible to tune out a nearby cellphone conversation,
people subjected to them
often believe — incorrectly
— that the talker is being
abnormally loud, according
to findings from a 2004 study
from the University of York,
England.

STEUBENVILLE, Ohio —
Two members of Steubenville’s
celebrated high school football
team were found guilty Sunday
of raping a drunken 16-yearold girl, and Ohio’s attorney
general warned the case isn’t
over, saying he is investigating whether coaches, parents
and other students broke the
law, too.
Trent Mays, 17, and Ma’Lik
Richmond, 16, were sentenced
to at least a year in juvenile
prison in a case that has
rocked this Rust Belt city of
18,000 and led to allegations
of a cover-up to protect the

has won nine state championships. Mays was ordered to
serve an additional year for
photographing the underage
girl naked.
They can be held until they
turn 21.
The two broke down in

They later apologized to the

Highway Association.
In 2003, the Chattanooga
Regional History Museum,
now the Chattanooga History
Center, developed an exhibit
about the Dixie Highway’s
importance in the development of both transportation
and tourism in America.
Before the advent of such
cross-state avenues as the
Dixie Highway, said Groce,
tourists usually took trains to
Savannah and other popular
destinations.
The historical society,
in its downtown Savannah
location, has a number of
Coastal Georgia-centric
artifacts from the early-automotive era now on display.
They include a 1921 Road
Guide of Georgia, six early
1900s postcards illustrating
the Dixie Highway route
through Midway and Darien,
and a 32-page, circa 1900-1912
Savannah Automobile Club
Guidebook.
The Dixie Highway was
one of the first road systems
in Georgia to connect cities
with rural areas, said Groce.
The GHS will be the
repository for new information and additional artifacts
gathered by the Dixie Highway project, a multilaned
effort that also includes
the Georgia Department of
Transportation, the Federal
Highway Administration
and New South Associates,
an Atlanta-based firm that
hosted a statewide series of
public meetings on the old
route and set up a Facebook
page to continue and expand
the discussion.
The public meetings,
which included one in
Savannah, brought together
the general public, state and
local planners and economic
development officials, said
researchers of New South
Associates in an email interview.
“We have learned that
the public often has differing recollections of what
routes actually constituted
the Dixie Highway,” said the
researchers.
The circa-191 5 Dixie
Highway was not a single,
specific route, but rath-
registered voters. In North
Carolina, 79 people admitted to election officials
that they weren’t citizens
and were removed from the
rolls, along with 331 others who didn’t respond to
repeated inquires.
Opponents of Arizona’s
law see it as an attack on
vulnerable voter groups
such as minorities, immigrants and the elderly. They
say Arizona’s law makes
registering more difficult,
which is an opposite result
from the intention of the
1993 National Voter Registration Act.
Proposition 200 “was
never intended to combat
voter fraud,” said Democratic state Sen. Steve Gallardo, of Phoenix. “It was
intended to keep minorities
from voting.”
With the additional state
documentation requirements, Arizona will cripple
the effectiveness of neighborhood and community
voter registration drives,
advocates say. More than
28 million Americans used
the federal “Motor Voter”
form to register to vote in
the 2008 presidential elections, according to the U.S.
Election Assistance Commission.
An Arizona victory at
the high court would lead
to more state voting restrictions, said Elisabeth MacNamara, the national president
of the League of Women
Voters.
Opponents of the Arizona provision say they’ve
counted more than 31,000
potentially legal voters in
er an “assemblage of the
best roads” then available
through each state. The
Dixie Highway Association’s
goal was to put together a
connection that would take
travelers from the Midwest
through the South, and
eventually to Miami.
Georgia’s “best roads” at
that time were paved with
bricks within city limits, but
were largely otherwise made
of gravel, clay and dirt.
A 1916 auto guide described
the Ogeechee Road as “11
miles of good shell road,”
added the researchers. Other
familiar routes that were in
use back then included the
Augusta Road (Ga. 21).
The auto guide also listed
Arizona who easily could
have registered before
Proposition 200 but who
were blocked initially by the
law in the 20 months after
it passed in 2004. They say
about 20 percent of those
thwarted were Latino.
Arizona officials say they
should be able to pass laws
to stop illegal immigrants
and other noncitizens from
getting on their voting rolls.
The Arizona voting law was
part of a package that also
denied some government
benefits to illegal immigrants and required Arizonans to show identification
before voting.
The 9th U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals upheld the
voter identification provision. The denial of benefits
was not challenged.
Opponents “argue that
Arizona should not be permitted to request evidence
of citizenship when someone registers to vote, but
should instead rely on the
person’s sworn statement
that he or she is a citizen,”
Arizona Attorney General
Thomas C. Horne said in
court papers.
“The fallacy in that is
that someone who is willing
to vote illegally will be willing to sign a false statement.
What [opponents] are urging is that there should be
nothing more than an honor
system to assure that registered voters are citizens.
That was not acceptable to
the people of Arizona.”
The Arizona proposition
was enacted into law with
55 percent of the vote.
This is the second voting
the old DeSoto Hotel on Liberty Street as a destination.
Most large towns such as
Savannah already had established hotels and restaurants,

voter fraud problems. “They
turn a blind eye,” Pearce
said of the state’s election
officials.
But Karen Osborne, elections director for Maricopa
County, where nearly 60
percent of Arizona’s voters
live, said voter fraud is rare,
and even rarer among illegal immigrants.
“That just does not seem
to be an issue,” Osborne
said of the claim that illegal immigrants are voting.
“They did not want to come
out of the shadows. They
don’t want to be involved
with the government.”
The main legal question facing the justices is
whether the federal law
trumps Arizona’s law. A 10member panel of the 9th
Circuit in San Francisco
said it did.
The appeals court issued
multiple rulings in this case,
with a three-judge panel
initially siding with Arizona. A second panel that
included retired Supreme
Court Justice Sandra Day
O’Connor, who from time to
time sits on appeals courts,
reversed course and blocked
the registration requirement.
The full court then did the
same, and that decision will
be reviewed by the justices
in Washington.
The case is 12-71, Arizona

Shown is the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
building in Phoenix.
issue the high court is tackling this session. Last month,
several justices voiced deep
skepticism about whether a
section of the Voting Rights
Act of 1965, a law that has
helped millions of minorities exercise their right to
vote, especially in areas of
the Deep South, was still
needed.
This case involves laws
of more recent vintage.
T h e fe d e ra l “ M o t o r
Voter” law, enacted in 1993
to expand voter registration, allows would-be voters to fill out a mail-in voter
registration card and swear
they are citizens under
penalty of perjury, but it
doesn’t require them to
show proof.
Under Proposition 200
approved in 2004, Arizona
officials require an Arizona
driver’s license issued after
1996, a U.S. birth certificate,
a passport or other similar
document, or the state will
reject the federal registration application form.
This requirement applies
only to people who seek to
register using the federal
mail-in form. Arizona has
its own form and an online
system to register when
renewing a driver’s license.
The court ruling did not
affect proof of citizenship
requirements using the
state forms.
State officials say more
than 90 percent of those
Arizonans applying to vote
using the federal form will
be able to simply write
down their driver’s license
number, and all naturalized
citizens simply will be able
to write down their naturalization number without
needed additional documents.
Former Arizona Senate
President Russell Pearce,
a leading Republican proponent of Proposition 200,
strongly disputed claims
that Arizona doesn’t have

zona, which has tangled
frequently with the federal
government over immigration issues involving the
Mexican border. But it has
broader implications because
four other states — Alabama,
Georgia, Kansas and Tennessee — have similar requirements, and 12 other states are
contemplating similar legislation, officials say.
The Obama administration is supporting challengers to the law.
If Arizona can add citizenship requirements, then
“each state could impose
all manner of its own supplemental requirements
beyond the federal form,”
Solicitor General Donald
B. Verrilli Jr. said in court
papers. “Those requirements could encompass
voluminous documentary
or informational demands,
and could extend to any
eligibility criteria beyond
citizenship, such as age, residency, mental competence,
or felony history.”
A federal appeals court
threw out the part of Arizona’s Proposition 200 that
added extra citizenship
requirements for voter
registration, but only after
lower federal judges had
approved it.
Arizona wants the justices to reinstate its requirement.
Kathy McKee, who led
the push to get the proposition on the ballot, said voter
fraud, including by illegal
immigrants, continues to be
a problem in Arizona. “For
people to conclude there is
no problem is just shallow
logic,” McKee said.
reported in September that
officials in pivotal presidential election states had
found only a fraction of the

Politics
Senate eyes immigration compromise
WASHINGTON — The
nation’s 11 million illegal immigrants would have to wait a
full decade for a green card
but could earn citizenship just
three years after that, under
a measure being finalized by
a bipartisan group of eight
senators working to devise an
overhaul of immigration law,
several people with knowledge of the negotiations said.
Taken together, the two
waiting periods would provide
the nation’s illegal immigrants
with a path to U.S. citizenship
in 13 years, matching the draft
of a plan by President Barack
Obama to offer full participation in U.S. democracy to millions who are living in fear of
deportation.
The arrangement would
shrink the amount of time it
takes to become a naturalized citizen, from five years
to three years. But in an appeal
to Republicans, it would also
extend to 10 years, from eight,
the amount of time that illegal
immigrants must wait before
receiving permission to work
in the U.S. permanently.
Such a compromise might
give both sides something to
crow about: Republicans could
argue that they pushed for a
longer waiting period before
someone could get a green
card, which allows its holder
to remain and work in the U.S.
indefinitely. Democrats could
say that illegal immigrants
would become citizens faster.
“It is an unusual construction, but it gets them to citizenship in the same time as
the administration plan,” said
Kevin Appleby, the director
of migration policy at the
U.S. Conference of Catholic
Bishops. “Most importantly,
it eliminates the prospect of
a permanent underclass by
ensuring that, in time, all
will have the opportunity to
become Americans.”
Negotiations among the
senators have intensified
significantly in recent days
as they push toward a goal
of announcing comprehensive immigration legislation
in early April. Senators from
both parties and their staffs
met for hours on Thursday
as they struggled to overcome
obstacles that several people
familiar with the negotiations
said could hinder a deal in the
weeks ahead.
Among those obstacles is
a continuing concern among
Republicans that a three-year
naturalization process for
illegal immigrants could give
them a faster path to citizenship than people who enter
legally.
“We can’t create a system
where it’s faster for illegal
immigrants than for legal
immigrants,” said one Republican familiar with the internal
debate who spoke on the condition of anonymity. “Republicans are clear that they are
not going to create a special
pathway to citizenship.”
One big sticking point has
become the visa program for
low-skilled, year-round, tem-
porary workers.
The group of eight senators also still is debating
how to improve the E-Verify
system that employers use
to check the immigration
status of their workers. A
high-tech, biometric identification card was deemed
too costly; instead, the group
is considering an enhanced
E-Verify system that would
allow employers to use photographs to identify job applicants and would let workers
provide answers to security
questions to help prove their
legal work status.
But despite the remaining
differences, the eight senators
who are in negotiations are
continuing to make steady
progress toward an overall deal, according to people familiar with the talks.
Obama, who has threatened
to push forward with his own
legislation if Senate efforts
stall, is satisfied with the
current pace of talks, White
House officials said.

RNC budgets $10 million
to reach minorities
WASHINGTON — Reeling from back-to-back presidential losses and struggling
to cope with the country’s
changing racial and ethnic makeup, the Republican
National Committee plans to
spend $10 million this year to
send hundreds of party workers into Hispanic, black and
Asian communities to promote its brand among voters
who overwhelmingly supported Democrats in 2012.
Committee chairman
Reince Priebus on Sunday also
proposed shortening the presidential nominating calendar in
2016 and limiting the number
of primary-season debates to
avoid the self-inflicted damage from inside-party squabbling on the eventual nominee. Priebus’ top-to-bottom
changes include picking the
moderators for the debates
and then crowning the nominee as early as June so he or

she could begin a general election campaign as quickly as
possible.
“Mitt Romney was a sitting
duck for two months over the
summer,” Priebus said of the
2012 GOP nominee.
To help his party ahead of
the 2016 contest already in its
earliest stages, Priebus said he
would be hiring new staffers
to build the GOP among voters in the states.
“It will include hundreds of
people — paid — across the
country, from coast to coast,
in Hispanic, African-American, Asian communities, talking about our party, talking
about our brand, talking about
what we believe in, going to
community events, going to
swearing-in ceremonies, being
a part of the community on
an ongoing basis, paid for by
the Republican National Committee, to make the case for
our party and our candidates,”
Priebus said.

WASHINGTON — The
country does not face an
immediate debt crisis, House
Speaker John Boehner said
Sunday, but he argued that
Congress and President
Barack Obama must reform
entitlements to avert one.
“We all know that we
have one looming,” Boehner,
R-Ohio, said on ABC’s “This
Week.” “And we have one
looming because we have
entitlement programs that are
not sustainable in their current form. They’re going to
go bankrupt.” Boehner agreed
with Obama’s statement in
an interview last week that
the debt doesn’t present “an
immediate crisis.”

VATICAN CITY — Walking up to crowds,
shaking hands with surprised bystanders in
the street, mixing his formal speeches with
off-the-cuff remarks, Pope Francis stamped
his own style on the papacy Sunday.
His humor and down-to-earth manner captivated those filling St. Peter’s Square in Rome
to overflowing, and he worked the crowd in a
way that had to give his security staff palpitations. Rome Mayor Gianni Alemanno, in the
square himself, estimated the crowd’s size at
300,000.
‘’Brothers and sisters, ‘Buon giorno,’” Francis said in Italian in his first welcome from
the window of the papal residence, setting an
informal tone that has become the defining
spirit of his young papacy.
Earlier Sunday, he made an impromptu
appearance before the public from a side
gate of the Vatican that startled passers-by
and prompted cheers as he shook hands and
kissed babies. Francis had just finished celebrating Mass and delivering a six-minute
homily — brief by church standards — in the
Vatican’s tiny parish church, St. Anna, when
he walked outside to greet parishioners one
by one, just as an ordinary pastor does after
weekly services.
Francis started speaking at the window
even before the stroke of noon — the appointed time for the weekly papal address.
After Mass, Francis again put his security detail to the test as he waded into an
intersection just outside St. Anna’s Gate.
Francis stepped up to the crowd, grasping
outstretched hands. The atmosphere was so
casual that several people even gripped Francis on the shoulder.
“Francesco! Francesco!” children shouted
his name in Italian. As he patted one little boy
on the head, he asked “Are you a good boy?”
and the child nodded.
“Are you sure?” the pope quipped.
“This is a pope of the ‘pueblo,’ of all people,
both young and old — we liked him right away,”
said Simona Chiaretti, a nurse from Rome. “He
has already shown us that he is with us.”
Standing nearby, Eric Trochet, a priest
from Brittany, said the pope’s way of expressing himself was “a kind of simplicity that
is very wise and necessary because people
today don’t understand the symbols and traditions of the church.” This pope, he said,
“knows that.”
At one point he glanced at his watch and
turned to an aide — as if to ask ‘’How much
time do I have?”
U.N. revives effort
to reach arms accord
In the shadow of the reenergized gun-control debate
in the United States, negotiators at the United Nations will
reconvene this week to try to
reach a final agreement on a
treaty to regulate the global
trade in conventional weapons,
a lucrative business that rights
groups call the main source of
illicit arms fueling deadly conflicts around the world.
“I am confident that member states will overcome their

the resumed negotiations,
which were suspended in
disappointment about eight
months ago. They start again
The pope then ducked back inside the today and are scheduled to
Vatican’s boundaries to dash upstairs for the
address to St. Peter’s Square.
Often abandoning the prepared text in his
hand, Francis told the crowd that he wanted
to talk about mercy, saying he was inspired by
a book about forgiveness that he was reading.
Citing the author, an elderly German cardinal,
and praising him as a ‘’top-notch” theologian,
Francis quipped: ‘’Don’t think I’m making
publicity for my cardinals’ books!” drawing a
roar of laughter from the crowd.
Francis said mercy can “change the world”
and make it “less cold and more just.”
His reflection was on mercy and God’s
power to forgive. And he told the story of
a woman he had met in Buenos Aires two
decades ago who believed this to be true.
“She told me: ‘If the Lord hadn’t forgiven
all, then the world wouldn’t be here,”’ the pope
recounted. “And I wanted to ask her, ‘Ma’am,
you didn’t happen to study at the Gregorian?”’
— the oldest Jesuit university, founded by St.
Ignatius in 1551 — because “that is wisdom
regarding the mercy of God.” His comment
drew laughter from the crowd.
“Let us not forget this word: God never
tires of forgiving us,” he said.
He spoke only in Italian — ending with
“Buon pranzo” (Have a good lunch) — a
wish that triggered nods of approval from
the crowd in Rome, where a leisurely Sunday
family lunch is a cherished tradition.
But Francis did tweet in English and other
languages, saying: “Dear friends, I thank you
from my heart and I ask you to continue to
pray for me.”’
conclude March 28.
Proponents regard the
treaty effort as the most important U.N. initiative on regulating conventional weapons. It
would cover at least eight categories, including not only small
arms but also tanks, warships,
combat aircraft, missiles and
missile launchers. The treaty
would require member states
to monitor cross-border trade
of those weapons and establish
what amounts to a universally
accepted system of background
checks on the recipients.
A prime purpose, according to the treaty’s latest draft,
is “the need to prevent, combat
and eradicate the illicit trade
of conventional arms and to
prevent their diversion to the
illicit market and for unauthorized end use.”
Proponents contend that
roughly 2,000 people a day die
from armed violence abetted
by illicitly traded weapons.
“Gunrunners continue to
operate with impunity on the
shady fringes of this deadly
trade,” Oxfam, a leading supporter, said in a statement last
Tuesday. Lax or nonexistent
reporting obligations, Oxfam
said, “make it almost impossible to tell in whose hands a
gun, shell, bullet or even fighter plane will ultimately end up,
or how it got there.”
Representatives of the 193
U.N. member states had been
on the verge of completing a
final draft of the treaty last July
after four weeks of talks in
New York, having aimed for
approval by consensus. But
they failed to meet a selfimposed deadline as major
weapons exporting countries, led by the U.S., raised
objections.

BEIRUT — Syria’s main
opposition group is launching its most serious attempt
yet to form a rival government
to President Bashar Assad’s
regime, convening in Turkey
today to choose an interim
prime minister for areas the
rebels control.
Twelve candidates are running, including economists,
businessmen and a former
Syrian Cabinet minister.
Some warn setting up such
a government could close the
door to negotiating an end to
Syria’s civil war and instead
harden the battle lines.
Another obstacle is asserting the authority of a government picked by the largely
exile-based opposition, especially in areas where Islamic
extremist militias dominate.

China’s premier offers plan
focused on helping people
BEIJING — Li Keqiang, in
his first comments as China’s
premier, laid out a vision on
Sunday for a more equitable
society in which environmental protection trumps unbridled growth and government
officials put the people’s welfare before their own financial
interests.
“Corruption and the reputation of our government are
as incompatible as fire and
water,” Li told reporters at the
Great Hall of the People.
Speaking on the final day
of the legislative session
that installed a new generation of leaders, Li vowed to
ease impediments to private
investment, rein in the powerful interests that dominate
large sectors of the economy
and scale back an unwieldy,
intrusive bureaucracy that he
acknowledged often frustrated
entrepreneurs and citizens.
The new government, led
by President Xi Jinping and
the Communist Party’s Politburo Standing Committee, will
impose a moratorium on the
construction of government
buildings and reduce spending on official vehicles, public
meetings and overseas travel,
Li said. The government’s
sprawling work force, he
warned, would be trimmed to
increase spending on social
welfare.
“Reforming is about curbing government power,” he
said in his opening remarks,
which were broadcast live on
television. “It is a self-imposed
revolution that will require
real sacrifice, and it will be
painful.”
Xi Jinping told delegates
Sunday that his new government would “resolutely reject
formalism, bureaucracy, hedonism and extravagance, and
resolutely fight against corrup-
tion and other misconduct.”
However, the National Peoples’ Congress did not act on
one of the most highly touted
measures, which would have
required public disclosure of
the assets of government officials, their spouses, siblings
and children. Most of China’s
top leaders come from families with hundreds of millions
of dollars worth of assets, the
result of a culture of privilege
that allows relatives to exploit
connections to accumulate
vast wealth without breaking
explicit laws.
His comments, delivered
with a casual spontaneity
seldom seen from a Chinese
leader, offered a tantalizing palette of economic and
social reforms that promised
to transform the lives of the
rural poor, the migrants flooding into the cities and retirees
who worry about rising prices
and unaffordable health care.

India police arrest 5
in Swiss tourist’s rape
NEW DELHI — Police
said they arrested five men
Sunday in connection with the
gang rape of a Swiss woman
who was attacked in central
India while on a cycling vacation with her husband.
All five men admitted to
the attack, which occurred Friday night as the woman and
her husband camped out in a
forest in Datia district of Madhya Pradesh state, said D. K.
Arya, a senior police officer.
Arya said the men, who
are from nearby villages,
were arrested in Datia. Police
were searching for two other
men believed to have been
involved in the attack, he
said.
The couple told police that
the woman had been raped by
seven or eight men, but that it
was dark and they could not
be sure of the exact number,
Arya said. They said the husband also was attacked by the
men.
Vigilantes hang thieves by feet

It was one of the most
extreme cases of vigilantism
in two years of sharply deteriorating security following

and other social media outlets, showing images taken
by people in the crowd of
thousands who watched and
recorded the lynchings on

PHOTOMOMENT
By Yolanda Putman
Staff Writer
Environmental Protection Agency staffers are coming to Chattanooga this spring
with people like Eddie and Fannie Holmes
on their minds.
The couple, both in their 60s, spent the
majority of their adult lives obtaining and
maintaining their 11-room home near state
Highway 58. Since retiring and developing health problems, they could no longer
maintain it nor climb its 15-step stairway.
This year they gave it up for a three-bedroom apartment.
“You spend all of your life working on
your dream home, and then time has a way
of letting you know there is another side
of life,” said Eddie Holmes, board chairman
for the Chattanooga Housing Authority and
retired TVA employee.
The EPA’s mission during the May visit
is to help local officials design communities

Beverly Johnson,
Agency
Neighborhood Services and Community
Development administrator, said there’s a
need to look ahead.
“If the city does nothing to plan for
healthy aging, potential outcomes could
be lack of appropriate housing for an older
population, inadequate amenities such as
health care, transportation, recreation,
etc.,” Johnson said.
And the federal agency isn’t working
alone. The federal departments of Housing
and Urban Development and Transportation are participating in the plan. Together, the three agencies coordinate federal
investments in infrastructure, facilities and
services to assist communities.
The baby boomer generation is the second-largest in the country with about 76
million people. The population over age 65
is expected to grow nationally by 120 percent by 2050, according to Chattanooga’s
housing study conducted by the Chattanooga Hamilton County Regional Planning
Agency.
Locally people 65 and older account
for about 15 percent of Hamilton County’s
population.
The EPA chose Chattanooga as one of
43 cities nationwide, out of 121 applicants,
to which the agency will provide assistance
in planning a sustainable community for
healthy aging.

Right-to-attorney ruling turns 50 today
By Todd South
Staff Writer
Today marks a half-century
since the U.S. Supreme Court
ruled that poor people charged
with felony crimes had a right
to an attorney.
The landmark case, Gideon v.
Wainwright, started the practice
of appointing attorneys in noncapital felony cases and helped
later to birth public defender
systems across the nation. But
some say promises in the case
have yet to be fulfilled.
Overburdened court systems
and public defender offices often
mean that defense attorneys can
be assigned hundreds of cases
a year and rarely have the time
to devote to representing each
client fully, said Stephen Bright,
senior counsel at the Southern
Center on Human Rights in
Atlanta.
“There comes a tipping point
where lawyers, no matter how
dedicated, how competent, can’t
do the work,” Bright said in a
recent interview.
He has written an article for
the Yale Law Journal that details
ongoing problems with states or
jurisdictions not properly funding indigent defense.
“The criminal justice system
is ‘out of sight, out of mind.’
It’s almost all poor people, and
there is a very high percentage
of minorities,” Henry said.
Tennessee didn’t establish its
statewide public defender system until 1989.
Though it’s likely that few
people could cite the Gideon
decision and many may never
have to use appointed lawyers in
criminal court, the right remains
fundamental to a strong justice
system, said Jeffrey Henry, execSee ATTORNEY, Page B5

Chattanooga Gang Task Force coordinator Boyd Patterson sits in the audience
watching performances during the Stop the Violence event Sunday afternoon at the

LaToyah Holloman says
she’s tired of waking up to

Though this year is only a

Chattanooga already has had 20

Holloway said that if she
didn’t speak out against violence, no one would.
“I wanted to take a stand,”
she said. “My heart cries out
to the community. It’s got to

Holloman started a campaign in October to protest
the violence that has wracked
some parts of Chattanooga.
As part of her campaign,
Stop the Violence, Holloman
organized a community event
Sunday night at the East

One of the campaign’s
main goals is to reach the

a reality.
“The kids need a positive
influence in the neighborhood to occupy their time
instead of the streets,” said
Brandie McClendon, Holloman’s sister. “We’re trying to
give them confidence and a
better outlook on life.”

Bob Maurer
RINGGOLD — Robert E. “Bob”
Maurer, 85, passed away Saturday,
Jan. 5, 2013, after a long illness. His
battle was heroic.
He was born on Dec. 11, 1927,
in New York, N.Y. to Hugo E. and
Florence McKay Maurer. Bob grew
up in Flushing, N.Y. He graduated
from Bayside High School in Bayside, N.Y. in 1946. After high school
he served in the armed services
as a U.S. Naval Aviation Cadet
and in the U.S. Armored Cavalry.
Although Bob moved away from
New York City during his career
over 50 years ago, he remained a
New Yorker at heart his entire life.
Reminding his loved ones always,
New York City is the greatest city
on earth.
After serving in the armed services Bob attended the New Bedford Textile Institute (University of
Massachusetts Dartmouth) where
he received his bachelor of science
degree in textile chemistry.
Bob then worked for Geigy
Chemical Corp (later Ciba Geigy
Corp., now Novartis) in the Dyestuff division. He retired in 1988
after 36 years with Ciba. Bob married Sophie, the love of his life, in
1950 in Corona, N.Y. They were
happily married for 62 years. During Bob’s career and marriage, he
moved with his family from New
York, to Massachusetts, Tennessee,
Connecticut, Wisconsin, Florida
and Georgia. Bob was an avid traveler who enjoyed seeing the world
and meeting people everywhere.
Bob never met a stranger he didn’t
know, and he will forever be cherished for his stories of laughter and
excitement from his adventures on
the road or in the air. His larger
than life, love of life and friends
were his calling card. Of the many
places Bob traveled, he always
returned to Tennessee and Georgia
and chose this area for his retirement. Bob was a member of Christ
United Methodist Church. He was
a 32nd-degree Master Mason for
49 years. Bob was a member of the
AATCC (American Association of
Textile Chemists and Colorists)
since 1954. Bob enjoyed cooking,
gardening, shopping, reading, play-

SCOTTSBORO, ALA.
Opium found
in Jackson County
Five ounces of suspected
opium was seized when
Jackson County, Ala., narcotics officers raided a Flat
Rock home Friday.
In a news release, Chief
Deputy Rocky Harnen
called it “kind of an interesting case,” adding, “we
don’t see much opium
around here.”
He said officers executed
a search warrant at a home
on County Road 756, seizing
8 grams of marijuana and
drug paraphernalia along
with the suspected opium.
Four people were
charged with trafficking in
opium and possession of
marijuana and drug paraphernalia. They are Felicia
Diane Pope, 27, of Bryant,
Ala.; and Alisha Larue Fay,
24; Chase Zane Goolsby, 25;
and Ronald Earnest Pick Jr.,
31, all of Flat Rock. All were
being held on $55,000 bonds.
A small child in the
home was handed over to
the Department of Human
Resources, Harnen said.
Murray eyes privatizing bus driver jobs
By Tim Omarzu
Staff Writer
School officials in Murray County,
Ga., may privatize the employment
of most of the system’s school bus
drivers to save money.
“This is new territory for us,” said
Danny Dunn, director of personnel
for the Murray County Board of Education.
The school district has set April 8
as the deadline for private companies
to bid to handle employment for the
bulk of its 70 part-time drivers.
The contract wouldn’t affect 15 bus
drivers with 10 or more years’ experience, Dunn said, because “they are
vested in the retirement system.”
And the district still would own
its own bus fleet, retain mechanics
and buy fuel, he said.
The privatization won’t happen,
Dunn said, unless it makes financial
sense.
Three potential contractors met
with school officials March 11 for a
prebid conference, he said.
Newly elected school board member Frank L. Adams said, “From a
standpoint of costs, it has to be
looked at.”
A rumor among bus drivers was
they’d all be fired, Adams said, but
“that’s not even remotely the case.”
Even if a contractor takes over, he
said, current bus drivers will keep
their jobs for a least a year.
“These guys drive the route,”
Adams said. “Why would you get
rid of them arbitrarily?”
School Superintendent Vickie
Reed is meeting individually with
school bus drivers who are concerned
about the potential privatization,
Dunn said.
The school district’s annual budget has shrunk over the past six years
from about $60 million to $44 million, Dunn said.
“Every school system in Georgia
is hurting for money,” he said.

No. 2.
The houses had indoor plumbing and electricity, which were rare in East Tennessee at the
time. The village also had a one-room schoolhouse, a two-story hotel, a tennis court, a train
engine, a trolley and concrete sidewalks. Residents could not drive to the village but parked
their cars beside U.S. Highway 64 and walked
to their homes across a 150-foot suspension
bridge.
When the Tennessee Valley Authority took
over in 1943, it closed the village and the residents
moved into neighboring communities that did not
have the same amenities.

“If you care anything about
the Bill of Rights, you care

Henry said public defenders in Tennessee have weathered the economic storm of
the past few years but caseloads far exceed what multiple studies have shown as
the recommended amount.
The National Advisory
Commission on Criminal
Justice Standards established
recommended caseloads for
defense attorneys in 1973.
Those recommendations
were renewed in 2007 after
extensive
review, Henry
said.
The recommendations put the

400; juvenile cases and mental health cases at 200 each
and no more than 25 appeals
a year.
Those are not to be added
together, but counted separately, though most public defenders and appointed attorneys
do handle a variety of cases
of varying complexity.
The average caseload of
an assistant district public
defender in Tennessee is
between 600 and 650, Henry
said.

Holloman and Kelly want
residents to know that the
power for change lies in their

“The solution is going
to have to come from the
community,” Patterson said.
“When community members start taking back their
streets, that’s the beginning
of real change.”

Dayton mayoral race nears
Correspondent
DAYTON, Tenn. — Vice
Mayor Bobby Doss and fellow Councilman Gary Louallen will compete in April in
the Dayton mayoral race.
Current Mayor Bob Vincent
won’t seek re-election.
Louallen, a self-employed
businessman for more than
42 years, said the city “is a
big business,” and that he
understands the commitment and availability needed
from a mayor to operate it as
a business.
“[I want] to help Dayton
prosper,” he said.
Doss, who has been vice
mayor for the last two years,
said he received considerable encouragement from
others to run for mayor. If
elected, he said, he planned
to “keep striving” to increase
available jobs in Dayton by
bringing more industries to
the area.

“Living there with just
us was peaceful ... sure do
wish we could have stayed,”
he said.
German’s father, a switchboard officer at TVA, eventually was told that if his
family did not move he
would lose his job, so the
family relocated to Benton,
Tenn.
German said that while
being interviewed for the
documentary, he was surprised by how much he could
remember about former residents as he walked around
Caney Creek.
“I go and look around
and see who lived where,
and it refreshes my mind,”
he said. “When they interviewed me, I remembered
them all.”
German said he was
eager to help with the
documentary as a way of

“reliving old times and
memories.”
Hearing German’s stories gave Bradley County
resident Debbie Moore the
idea for the documentary.
She co-hosts a local history radio show, “Old Town
Cleveland,” and one week
she interviewed German
about growing up in Caney
Creek.
“The phones kept ringing
with callers interested in his
stories,” she said in an interview.
“Going Home” became
a Moore family project.

council is strong.”
In a written news release,
Vincent said, “I will miss the
campaign and the privilege
to serve, but it is time for me
to encourage someone with
new ideas and energy to have
the opportunity.”
He said it was “extremely gratifying to be elected
as Dayton’s first at-large
mayor.”
Vincent was appointed
the city’s mayor in April
2005 and served on the
Dayton council and school
board for more than 30 years.
While mayor, he served on
the Regional Planning Commission and the Rhea Economic and Tourism Council,
as well as being a director
for the Southeast Tennessee
Human Resource Agency
and the Southeast Tennessee
Development District.

narrated the film. Her son
Will, 21, a student at Chattanooga State Community
College, produced and shot
the video, and Ron Moore,
her husband, did the editing. John Cook, a family
friend, wrote, performed and
recorded the original songs
for the project.
Debbie Moore said they
wanted to preserve the story
while the people who had
lived at Caney Creek Village
were alive to tell it.
“The more I worked on
this, the more I believed in
it,” she said.
The Bradley County Historical and Genealogical
Society gave $1,250 toward
the project, which allowed
the family to buy some specialized equipment they said
improved the film’s overall
quality.
The remaining funding for
the film came from “the bank
of Mom and Dad,” Moore
said, laughing.

Forest
tos of the freshly cut wood.
Paleontologists contacted
by AL.com originally speculated the trees were between
8,000 and 12,000 years old,
based on the present depth
where the forest is located
and the distance from shore.
Those dates fit nicely with
Gulf Coast sea levels during
the most recent ice age. The
new, older time frame links
the trees to a much earlier
ice age.
RISING ALABAMA
And it provides evidence
that coastal Alabama has
risen between 60 and 120 feet
in the last 50,000 years.
“Trees that are 50,000 to
80,000 years old, they should
be down 120 feet to 180 feet
underwater. But these are sitting at 60 feet. That means
that coastline has come up
about 60 to 100 feet. That’s
unusual,” said DeLong.
Working from a variety of
geological signs both above
water and below, scientists
have been able to create maps
of where the Gulf shoreline
was going back millions of
years.
The trees have proven to
be a conundrum. Places that
are now 60 feet underwater
were typically dry land about
12,000 years ago, DeLong
said, which led several scientists to guess the trees
were growing during an era
known as the younger Dryas.
But these trees proved to be
too old for radiocarbon dating, which means they are at
least 50,000 years old. That
means the trees were probably growing during an earlier ice age, one that occurred
50,000 to 80,000 years ago.
There is an outside chance
they are even older.
Scientists studying both
ancient and modern day
shorelines have documented that Louisiana is sinking.
The research also shows that
Alabama and a portion of the
Texas shoreline have risen.
“If part is sinking, somewhere else, it has to rise,”
DeLong said. “We see that
in Alabama, and out around
Galveston, Texas. On our
timescale, it might be rising
a few centimeters a year. But
over 20,000 or 30,000 years,
that begins to add up.”
WELL PRESERVED
DeLong said she was
amazed at the condition of
the wood samples when she
received them. The outer
edge of the pieces is pockmarked from marine worms
and other creatures, but that
damage is only on the surface
of the wood. Inside, the trees
are still so hard that even a
knife dragged across them
barely makes a scratch.
The samples were collected using a small handsaw. DeLong planned to dive
to the forest with an al.com
reporter on a subsequent trip
along with a couple of members of her research team, but
the vessel broke down on the
way to the site. The crew was
35486815
Regional
carrying equipment to collect
core samples from the trees,
which would allow them to
see how old the individual
trees were. Another visit to
the forest is planned when
the weather warms up.
“If we get core samples,
we can look at the tree rings
and see what was happening with precipitation. We
don’t know what was happening with precipitation
on the Gulf Coast during the
ice ages,” DeLong said. “We
know that the area around
the Great Salt Lake, and in
Arizona and New Mexico,
was very wet. That it rained
a lot. And that is desert now.
But we don’t know what
was happening on the Gulf
Coast.”
The relic forest hints at
what the Mobile-Tensaw
Delta looked like before
man began cutting down the
trees in the 1800s. Imagine
a forest of giant trees, trees
that rivaled the redwoods in
California for size.
“It’s a really cool find.
That the trees are in the
ocean and are that old, it
floors me,” DeLong said. “We
didn’t expect them to be that
old. They were buried for a
long time.”

COMMENTARY
CATHOLIC EXAMPLE
History teaches
flexibility is
key to rebirth
The Catholic Church in North
Africa was in crisis at the beginning
of the fourth century. The Roman
emperor Diocletian had persecuted
the Christians, and many bishops
and priests had collaborated with the
regime. Priests had turned over Christian believers to the pagan magistrates.
Bishops had surrendered Holy Scriptures
to be burned in the
public square. An air
of corruption and
lewdness hung over
the church.
Two rival reform
movements arose
to restore the integDavid
rity of Catholicism.
Brooks
Those in the first
movement, the Donatists, believed
the church needed to purify itself and
return to its core identity.
The mission of the church, in the
Donatist view, was to provide a holy
alternative to an unclean world. The
Donatists wanted to purge the traitors
from the priesthood.
After they pruned their membership, the Donatists wanted to close
ranks to create a community of committed believers. They would separate
themselves from impurity, re-establish
their core principles and defend them
against the hostile forces.
The Donatists believed that, in
those hard times, the first job was to
defend Christian law so it wouldn’t
be diluted by compromise. With this
defensive posture, the Donatists at
least would build a sturdy ark for all
those who wanted to be Christian.
This Donatist tendency — to close
ranks and return defensively to first
principles — can be seen today whenever a movement faces a crisis. Modern-day Donatists emerge after every
Republican defeat: conservatives who
think the main task is to purge and
purify.
In the fourth century, another revival
movement arose, embraced by Augustine, who was Bishop of Hippo. The
problem with the Donatists, Augustine
argued, is that they are too static. They
try to seal off an ark to ride out the
storm, but they end up sealing themselves in. They cut themselves off from
new circumstances and growth.
Augustine wanted the church to go
on offense and swallow the world. This
would involve swallowing impurities as
well as purities. It would mean putting
to use those who are imperfect.
In this view, the church would be
attractive because it was hungering
and thirsting for fulfillment. Far from
being a stable ark, the church would
be a dynamic, ever-changing network,
propelled onto the streets by its own
tensions. Augustine’s ideal church was
firmly rooted in doctrine, but yearning
for discovery.
This second tendency is also found
in movements that are in crisis, but it is
rare because it requires a lack of defensiveness, and a confidence that your
identity is secure even amid crisis.
Like most of the world, I don’t
know much about Pope Francis, but
it’s hard not to be impressed by someone who says he prefers a church that
suffers “accidents on the streets” to a
church that is sick because it self-referentially closes in on itself.
It’s hard not to be impressed by
someone who stands by traditional
Catholic teaching, but then goes out
and visits Jeronimo Podesta, a former
bishop who had married in defiance
of the church and who was dying
poor and forgotten. It’s hard not to be
impressed by someone who ferociously rebukes those priests who refuse to
baptize the children of single mothers.
I’ll leave it to Catholics to decide if
Francis is good for the church. The subject here is how do you revive a movement in crisis. The natural instinct is
to turn Donatist, to build an ark and
defend what’s precious. The counterintuitive but more successful strategy
is to follow Augustine, to exploit a
moment of weakness by making yourself even more vulnerable, by striking
outward into complexity, swallowing
the pure and impure, counterattacking
crisis with an evangelical assault.
EDITORIAL
NEW PROPOSALS MORE
PARTISAN POSTURING
BUDGETS PLAY TO EXTREMES OF EACH PARTY
New budget proposals last week from influential members of the House Republican and Senate
Democratic leadership are the stuff of political caricatures. House Budget Committee Chairman Paul
D. Ryan, R-Wis., last year’s Republican nominee for
vice president, reprised the spending-cut talking
points from his failed campaign with little change
and no apparent irony. Senate Budget Committee
Chairwoman Patty Murray, D-Wash., meanwhile,
offered the outlines of a budget that increases
taxes and spending, while doing little more than
buying time on the entitlement programs at the
heart of Washington’s long-term problems. Neither
approach offers a realistic way forward. Instead,
they give Republicans and Democrats yet another
arena in which to fight their ideological battles
over the size and scope of government.
The spending blueprint Ryan released last
Tuesday would balance the federal budget by 2023,
relying in part on the tax increases and Medicare
savings that Democrats championed but Ryan
railed against on the campaign trail last year. It also
recycles proposals to “strengthen” Medicaid, food
stamps and Medicare by capping federal spending on them and giving recipients more flexibility.
Promoting innovation in those programs would
be welcome, but Ryan’s budget would cut costs at
the expense of maintaining the federal safety net
and Medicare’s guarantee of affordable coverage
for all seniors.
Murray’s proposal has a less ambitious goal. It
seeks to bring down the deficit over the coming
decade so the federal debt won’t grow faster than
the economy. That’s a fine target for the near term.
Unlike Ryan’s budget, however, Murray’s plan
wouldn’t necessarily stop the deficit from growing rapidly again in later years as Medicare rolls
expand and the cost of medical care increases.
Meanwhile, she would provide $100 billion in new
stimulus spending and replace the across-theboard “sequester” cuts with $1.95 trillion worth
of tax hikes, unspecified reductions in entitlements and smaller reductions in discretionary
programs.
In short, the proposals play to the polarized
extremes of each party. To Ryan, cutting spending
House Budget Committee chairman Paul Ryan,
R-Wis., released a spending blueprint with little
change.
is crucial to reviving the economy; to Murray, the
key is pouring federal dollars into infrastructure
projects and job training. Ryan’s budget would
simplify the tax code in order to cut tax rates;
Murray’s would do so to raise revenue by almost
$1 trillion over the coming decade. If these ideas
sound familiar, they should — they were repeated
ad infinitum during last year’s campaign. At some
point, lawmakers will have to step out of their
ideological comfort zones and find a path they can
walk together. That day can’t come soon enough.

Congress
should ban
horse meat
There is no market
these days for horse meat
in this country. The last
horse slaughterhouses in
the U.S. stopped production in 2007, the result of
laws in Illinois and Texas
banning horse slaughter or
the sale of horse meat for
human consumption.
That same year, a congressional appropriations
bill that included a rider
banning the funding of U.S.
Department of Agriculture
inspection of horse meat
went into effect. And without inspections, U.S. plants
can’t sell meat anywhere in
the world. But after years of
renewing the ban, Congress
let it lapse in late 2011. Now
the Department of Agriculture is under pressure from
a New Mexico meat-processing company to resume
horse meat inspections.
Congress should reinstate the ban on funding
such inspections.
In this country, horses are
not raised as food animals,
with the sort of controls
and restrictions in place for
cattle, poultry and swine
destined for our tables.
In addition, horses usually have been treated with a
vast array of drugs, the most
common of which is phenylbutazone, a substance the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration stipulates can never
be administered to animals
processed for food.
Furthermore, the
Department of Agriculture would have to train
and deploy inspectors at a
time when its meat inspection budget is being cut by
the sequestration.

GUNS AREN’T DECLINING;
OWNERS JUST SMARTER
I believe the article in Sunday’s Times Free Press, “Share
of homes with guns shows fourdecade decline,” to be mistaken.
Gun ownership has not declined
from 50 percent in the 1970s to
an estimated 35 percent in 2012.
What actually has happened is
this: Big government and the
liberal news media have caused
more gun owners to become
smarter and to respond falsely
to such surveys asking questions
about their household’s ownership of firearms.
As more gun owners realize
what is happening, the trend for
gun ownership will continue to
increase, while the surveys will
indicate otherwise. If I owned
any guns, I’d bet half of my collection that I’m right.
BEN BURKE
WHO NOTICES OUR CITY
IS CRUMBLING?
David Cook and Dalton Roberts tell Times Free Press readers what actually is going on in
Chattanooga.
The city continues to grow,
but the foundation is crumbling.
The spark that used to be there,
beginning in the late 1980s when
urban revitalization and renewal
started, has faded. The “Scenic
City” exists, but the attitude that
created it has somehow been lost.
Once proud portions of the city
have become gang-ruled; citizen participation in the political
process has been reduced to less
than 20 percent. Trust in political
leadership and law enforcement
is dwindling.
With the exception of Dalton
Roberts and David Cook, who
so eloquently tell it like it is, the
media seems reluctant to move
away from unfortunate political
correctness and tackle the issues
that are causing the foundation
of Chattanooga to erode. Let’s
find that spark, again, so this
beautiful and otherwise proud
city can remain upright and honest.

DEMOCRATS FABRICATED
THE ‘WAR ON WOMEN’
Rhetorical question: At what
point are artistic license and
journalistic freedom accountable to the truth? Clay Bennett’s
depiction of two drones, one
Democratic, the other Republican, the former waging war on
terrorism and the latter waging
war on women, crosses any reasonable distinction between fact
and fiction.
“War on women” became a
Democratic campaign slogan
about a year ago, coinciding with
law student Sandra Fluke’s fabrications about the cost of her birth
control pills. Not only were her
claims about the need for government to mandate employer
provision of contraception and
abortifacients spurious, but there
was never any substance attached
to the so-called war. It was a
smear campaign aided and abetted by many in the media, including now our own Mr. Bennett. It
was to the Republicans’ shame
that they allowed the ridiculous
charges to go unanswered.
So, who’s on the side of
women? Is it the conservatives who offer free prenatal
and postnatal services through
various nonprofit agencies, or
is it Planned Parenthood which
shows profits in the tens of millions while collecting federal
money in the hundreds of millions?

COMMENTARY
Propaganda
isn’t just
an import
The screen shows an image of a
dimly lit hallway with bodies scattered on the floor as violins build
drama behind the voice-over on the
video: “How Americans Live Today.”
The video continues with more
dark images, then a
visual of lines of guns
with the narrator
proclaiming: “This is
how Americans live
today. Drinking coffee made from snow
and living in tents
and buying guns to
kill each other, especially children.”
Robin
The production
Smith
is attributed to the
saber-rattling rogues of North Korea.
Its distribution follows weeks of
nuclear testing, declaration of war on
the United States, and general unrest
on the Pacific Rim.
Back to the movie: The translating
voice explains that American trees
have no birds because “they’ve been
eaten by the people living in these
tents” panning to a khaki-colored tent
straining with the weight of snow.
The camera returns to those hazy
corridors describing a figure on a
bench: “This man awaits heroin.”
A final scene shows the inside of one
of those American tents featuring Red
Cross supplies of “curtains and wools
from material from North Korea.”
It turns out the video is a fake, but
pure propaganda, nonetheless.
Meanwhile, American television a
few days ago screamed that teachers
were going to be fired, immunizations
were not going to be available and the
White House was to close its public
tours as a result of the sequestration
totaling $85 billion.
What actually happened? Any cuts
to teachers’ jobs were already in proposals from the Department of Education, reductions in immunizations were
resulting from the president’s own initiatives and the tours for schoolchildren
were cancelled. But, the White House
denied it had anything to do with it.
A reduction in the growth of
federal spending, not actual cuts in
spending, has resulted in an absolute
exposure of propaganda. In taking a
piece of information that has a kernel
of truth, then twisting and turning it,
we have a crisis of leadership … again.
The most significant sequester cuts
fell on the American military. Without
question, defense contracting practices
need reform and accountability. However, cuts and furloughs directly to soldiers while entitlements are completely untouched demonstrate the lunacy
(and effectiveness) of propaganda.
Washington “leadership” says the
solution to saving Medicare and Social
Security is to increase taxes on those
rascally rich who own businesses that
create jobs. Has anyone from the White
House addressed the fact that without
structural changes, there will no longer
be Medicare or Social Security? Honest
and accurate accounting records show
the spending levels to meet the benefits
awarded in these beloved programs will
not be sustained.
Instead, what we’ve seen are both
versions of the TV advertisement with
U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wisconsin, pushing a wheelchair-bound senior off a cliff
portraying his reforms to save Medicare
and Social Security as murder.
So, while the fake North Korean
video that absurdly claims Americans
are living in tents, eating birds, killing
our children with guns and drinking
coffee made of snow gets our laughs,
we are accepting as fact the propaganda that continually dribbles out of
the political world.
It’s disturbing to see creatures
claiming to have a higher level of
functioning who become irritated with
facts while embracing the farcical.
So, ignore the truth, disregard the
facts. The State of The Unicorn world,
I mean the State of the Union, calls for
unlimited resources, with our priorities placed on looking and feeling good
rather than living in reality. Propaganda
… it’s what we’re now accepting as truth.

TRADING BOOMS FOR FUEL
THAT CAN’T BE USED
REAL PURPOSE FOR ETHANOL CREDITS IS POLITICAL
W
hen the price of a commodity rises to
stratospheric heights for no apparent
reason, it’s likely hysterical speculation.
Only the government could come up
with a bubble in a commodity that’s merely speculative. Last week, the going price for a “renewable
identification number” hit a high of $1.10, which
is up 3,500 percent from the 3 cents it would have
fetched just a few months ago.
Renewable identification numbers are ethanol
production credits created by the Environmental
Protection Agency to help companies meet federal
quotas for the production of a fuel that doesn’t
actually exist. In 2007, President George W. Bush
signed a law declaring that 36 billion gallons of
ethanol would be sold by the year 2022. Though
spoken of in terms of the environment or boosting
America’s energy independence, the real purpose
of such ethanol sales promises always has been
political. Anyone seeking the blessing of the Midwest in presidential primaries must pledge the rest
of the country to wasting billions of dollars unnecessarily pumping corn into their gas tanks.
It would be bad enough if the story ended right
there, but it doesn’t. Government nannies declared
a separate quota for “renewable” fuels that must
be blended into proper petroleum products. For
example, the Environmental Protection Agency
declared 14 million gallons of cellulosic biofuel
must be produced for 2013. The problem is that
this fantasy fuel exists only in a laboratory. It can’t
actually be produced in any significant quantities.
Maybe someday, but definitely not today.
Rather than admit defeat, environmentalist
bureaucrats set up a system forcing companies to buy
the renewable identification numbers to meet their
targets — like forcing them to pay a fine for failing to
perform an impossible act. This created an artificial
trading market that’s ripe with green fraud.
Speculators have realized there’s no more room
at America’s fuel pumps to accommodate additional ethanol. Currently, Americans are forced to
dilute their gasoline with 10 percent corn, which is
the maximum amount that can be added without
ruining the engine of an automobile. The Obama
administration backed off attempts to force acceptance of a 15 percent blend; fortunately for all of us,
the automobile manufacturers refused to go along.

The threat of warranty-related lawsuits has delayed

This means the refiners are up against what they
call the “blend wall,” the point where no more corn
fuel can be foisted on consumers, despite government mandates demanding ever more production
and sales. The only remaining option to meet the
goals under government regulations is the purchase
of renewable identification numbers, which avoids
actually blending real ethanol and gasoline.
Though a few green speculators might get rich
from this artificial price spike, the rest of us will
end up paying the cost. The creation of unnecessary fuel blends drives up the cost of gasoline, and
the misuse of farm land for ethanol drives up the
cost of food. Midwestern votes aren’t worth this
much headache and cost.
The Environmental Protection Agency’s artificial trading market serves no legitimate purpose
and only encourages scams. We’ve paid enough
at the pump already. Congress must repeal this
ethanol madness.

Time to make law to cover new warfare
WASHINGTON — In choice of both
topic and foil, Rand Paul’s now legendary
Senate filibuster was a stroke of political
genius. The topic was, ostensibly, very narrow: Does the president have
the constitutional authority to put a drone-launched
Hellfire missile through
your kitchen while you’re
cooking up a pot roast?
The constituency of
those who could not give
this question a straight
answer is exceedingly small.
Unfortunately, among them
Charles
is Attorney General Eric
Krauthammer Holder. Enter the foil. He
told a Senate hearing that such an execution
would not be “appropriate.”
Paul’s performance was both theatrically
brilliant and substantively irrelevant. As
for the principle at stake, Holder’s opinion
carries no weight in any case. He is hardly
a great attorney general whose words will
ring through history.
The vexing and pressing issue is the use
of drones abroad. The filibuster pretended
not to be about that. Which is testimony to
Paul’s political adroitness. It was not until
two days later that he showed his hand,
writing in The Washington Post, “No American should be killed by a drone without
first being charged with a crime.” Note the
absence of the restrictive clause: “on Ameri-
can soil.”
Now we’re talking about a larger, more
controversial issue: the killing by drone
in Yemen of al-Qaeda operative Anwar alAwlaki. Outside American soil, the Constitution does not rule, no matter how much Paul
would like it to. Yet Paul’s unease applies
to non-American drone targets as well. His
quarrel is with the very notion of the war
on terror, though he is normally too smart
to say that openly and unequivocally.
Unlike his father, who implied that 9/11
was payback for our sins, Paul the Younger
more gingerly expresses general skepticism
about not just the efficacy but the legality
of the entire war.
That skepticism is finding an audience as
the war grinds into its 12th year, as our hapless attorney general vainly tries to define
its terms and as the administration conducts
a major drone war with defiant secrecy. Nor
is this some minor adjunct to battle — an
estimated 4,700 have been killed by drone.
George W. Bush was excoriated for
waterboarding exactly three terrorists, all
of whom are now enjoying an extensive
retirement on a sunny Caribbean island
(though strolls beyond Gitmo’s gates are
prohibited). Whereas President Obama,
with thousands of kills to his name, evokes
little protest from yesterday’s touch-nota-hair-on-their-head zealots. Of whom, of
course, Sen. Obama was a leading propagandist.
Such hypocrisy is the homage Democrats
pay to Republicans when the former take
office, confront national security reality,
feel the weight of their duty to protect the
nation — and end up doing almost everything they had denounced their predecessors for doing.
Which creates a unique opportunity to
finally codify the rules. The war’s constitutional charter, the 2001 Authorization
for Use of Military Force has proved quite
serviceable. But the commander-in-chief’s
authority is so broad — it leaves the limits
of his power to be determined, often in
secret memos, by the administration’s own
in-house lawyers — that it has spawned
suspicion, fear and now filibuster.
It is time to rethink. That means not
repealing the original AUMF but, using
the lessons of the last 12 years, rewriting
it with particular attention to a new code
governing drone warfare and the question
of where, when and against whom it should
be permitted.

Kahne
gets win
at Bristol
Excitement and action
plentiful on and off track
By Jenna Fryer
BRISTOL, Tenn. — Kasey Kahne’s
bumper-banging battle with Brad Keselowski was just the warm-up act in an
action-packed race at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Former teammates Denny Hamlin and
Joey Logano exchanged words after the
race — in person and on Twitter — because
Hamlin spun Logano as Logano was racing
for the lead.
A flat tire knocked Jeff
Gordon and Matt Kenseth out of the race while
they were running 1-2.
Typical Bristol, right?
It looked that way as
Kahne and Keselowski
staged a spectacular
battle for the lead, only
for a caution to put them
side-by-side for a restart
Kasey Kahne
with 39 laps to go.
Keselowski had an
issue, he either spun his tires or the Hamlin-Logano feud disrupted his start, and
Kahne sailed away for his first career victory at Bristol.
“Feels really good to win at this place,”
Kahne said. “Such a tough track over the
years. This is a big race for me. When you
race in the Sprint Cup Series, Bristol is a
race you want to win.”
Tempers flared after the race when
Logano leaned inside Hamlin’s window to
complain about Hamlin spinning him as he
tried to pass Gordon for the lead.
Logano was pulled away from Hamlin’s
car by crew members for both drivers in
a classic post-Bristol clash that delighted
the crowd. “They’re fighting! It’s Bristol!”
yelled Clint Bowyer, who saw the action on
the infield big screen.
Logano wouldn’t discuss what he told
WILD TOURNEY
IN THE CARDS?
■ LOUISVILLE GETS TOP OVERALL SEED
■ VOLS, WILDCATS LEFT OUT OF DANCE

After celebrating their Big 12 title, Kansas is one of the four No. 1 seeds looking for a No. 1 finish.
By Paul Newberry
Kasey Kahne (5) survived a rough-andtumble finish with Brad Kesleowski to
win Sunday’s race at Bristol.
Louisville is the top seed
in the NCAA tournament
after a topsy-turvy season in
college basketball, capped by
another round of upsets over
the weekend.
That other team from the
Bluegrass State won’t even
get a chance to defend its
national title.
While the Big East champion Cardinals surged to the
top of the 68-team bracket
released Sunday, joined by
fellow No. 1 seeds Kansas,
Indiana and Gonzaga, the
school that won it all a year
ago was left out of the field.
Kentucky was hoping the
committee would overlook
a dismal performance in the
Southeastern Conference
tournament, but the Wildcats
had to settle for a spot in the
second-tier National Invitation Tournament.
“You’ve got to earn it each
and every year,” said Mike
Bobinski, the Xavier athletic
director who chaired the
selection committee.
As if that’s not bad enough
for Kentucky fans, Louisville
(29-5) gets to rub a little
more salt in its rival’s wounds
by opening the tournament
about 75 miles from campus
on Kentucky’s home court,
No love for the SEC
in NCAA tourney
So maybe the Southeastern Conference really
is a football league. At least that’s the message
the NCAA Tournament Selection
Committee delivered Sunday evening when it left all but three SEC
schools out of its 68-team basketball
soiree.
Never mind that Kentucky won
last year’s tourney and Florida
reached the Elite Eight. Or that
those same two schools reached
regional finals the year before that
Mark
with UK going on to the Final Four.

Lady Mocs await NCAA tournament destination
Staff Writer
The University of Tennessee at
Chattanooga earned its ticket to the
NCAA women’s basketball tournament last Monday, when Kayla
Christopher’s putback lifted the Lady
Mocs to a 64-63 win over Davidson
in the finals of the Southern Conference tournament.
After a week of waiting, UTC (293) will find out who it will face in the
first round, and where, tonight, when
the brackets are announced on ESPN
at 7 p.m. There is a selection show
viewing party at Big River Grille on
Broad Street.
“I think we ought to be at least
a 12 seed,” coach Wes Moore said
last Tuesday. “We won 29 games,
we’ve won 19 in a row, we beat the
SEC champion [Tennessee], we beat
another SEC team on the road [Alabama].”
The Lady Mocs won the SoCon
regular-season title, going 19-1 in
league play, and haven’t lost since
Jan. 7, when they fell at Elon in over-
time. Their three losses were at St.
Mary’s (20-10), at Auburn (16-14) and
at Elon (18-13).
ESPN women’s basketball “bracketology” analyst Charlie Creme had
the Lady Mocs as a No. 13 seed when
he spoke to the Times Free Press
on Wednesday. As of Sunday, UTC
was bumped up to a No. 12 seed in
Creme’s latest bracket.
Creme said he didn’t foresee UTC
being anything but a 12 or 13 seed.
“They had a great season, no question, and they have a great record,”
he said, “but ultimately to be an 11
[equates to being an at-large team]
and I don’t think the Southern Conference would have gotten a second
team in.”
UTC is listed at No. 44 in the
NCAA’s RPI ranking, but that hasn’t
been updated since March 11. RealTimeRPI.com has UTC at No. 37, and
has UTC as an 11 seed. What hurts
the Lady Mocs is the conference RPI,
which RealTimeRPI has at No. 22 out

UTC softball drops
series at Furman
The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga
softball team lost its opening Southern Conference series of the season by losing the final game
9-1 in five innings Sunday at Furman. Furman
(11-13, 2-4 SoCon) jumped on top quickly with
three runs in the third inning and five runs in
the second, and the Lady Mocs (15-14, 1-2) could
only push across one run on a sacrifice fly by
shortstop Alyssa Taylor in the fourth inning to
score third baseman Sarah Beth Roberts. UTC
lost despite out hitting the Paladins 9-6, but
four errors led to seven unearned Furman runs.
Freshman catcher Anyssa Robles by going 3for-3, and seniors Kasey Tydingco and Sara
Poteat each had two hits. UTC starter Kaisey
Carson took the loss after she was unable to
record an out to start the game.
■ Courtney Waggoner was 2-for-3 with two
RBIs, Jenni Jobe was 2-for-3 and scored twice
and Morgan Lane had two hits, two RBIs and
two runs as Covenant College won 9-2 in the
first game of its softball doubleheader Saturday
at Salem College. Reigning Great South Athletic
Conference pitcher of the week Cori Hilt allowed
five hits and one earned run. She also pitched the
second game, when Chandler Shepherd went
2-for-3 but the Lady Scots (2-14) lost 6-0.
■ Berry College completed a four-game Southern Athletic Association softball sweep at Sewanee
by beating the Tigers 8-0 and 17-0 in Sunday’s
doubleheader. The Tigers managed only three
hits, but former Ooltewah player Abby Daniels
boosted Berry in the sweep. She went 2-for-4 with
a home run and two RBIs in the first game, and she
had three hits and scored three runs with another
pair of RBIs in the second game.
BASKETBALL
■ When Lee University from Cleveland and
Cumberland University from Lebanon, Tenn.,
meet tonight at 6 in the first semifinal of the 2013
NAIA Division I women’s basketball tournament,
they will match 33-2 records and the fact both
were seeded No. 2 in their quadrants and beat
top seeds to get to the final four. Both top-ranked
Freed-Hardeman and Westmont from California
in the 8 p.m. semifinal were No. 1 seeds. Not only
are Lee, Cumberland and Freed-Hardeman all
from Tennessee, but all used to be together in
the TranSouth Athletic Conference. Lee, riding
a 16-game winning streak after defeating the
defending national champion Saturday, lost in the
semifinals in 2010 with current seniors Brooke
Hamby and Julia Zimmerman on the team,
and coach Marty Rowe also made the final four
in his final year at Brescia in 2004. In Sunday’s
team news conference in Frankfort, Rowe said,
“This is the best group of leaders I’ve ever had,”
and Hamby said that after the Lady Flames’ last
loss (Jan. 26) to Southern Polytechnic, “we were
just angry and we took revenge and don’t want
to stop until we get the national championship.”
This is Lee’s last year in the NAIA before moving
to NCAA Division II, and the Lady Flames are
0-8 all-time against Cumberland, but they already
have a program record for wins.
BASEBALL
■ Lee University beat visiting Emmanuel 5-0
and 9-3 in Southern States baseball Saturday, lifting
the NAIA’s third-ranked Flames to 23-6 overall and
12-3 in the league. Jose Samayoa and Andy Hillis
combined to pitch a three-hitter with 10 strikeouts
in the first game, when Lee scored all its runs in
the sixth inning, Mark Silva driving in two and
Brady Renner, Derrick Pitts and Chris Avey
adding one RBI each. Avey and Danny Canela
each was 2-for-3 in the game. Brandon Rader
was 2-for-3 with three runs scored in the rematch,
when Corey Davis and Jordan Stewart each
homered and matched Pitts with two RBIs.
■ The Cleveland State baseball team concluded its weekend TCCAA series at Dyersburg by
splitting a doubleheader on Saturday. Dyersburg
won the first game 6-4, but the Cougars bounced
back to win the second game 2-0. Evan Speicher
gave Cleveland state and early lead with a two-run
double in the third inning, but Dyersburg answered
with runs in their next three turns at the plate for
the win. Stephen Collum and Colby Harmon
each had two hits in the loss. In the second game,
starting pitcher Thomas Huddleston held Dyersburg to two hits for the complete-game win, and
Keith Buckhault went 2-for-2 with an RBI.
LACROSSE
■ Michael Morris had four goals and three
assists Saturday for the Sewanee men’s lacrosse
team, which rallied to beat visiting SAA rival
Centre 18-12 after trailing 11-6 at halftime. Pierce
Leonard, Davis Brown and James Millard
each scored three goals and Hal Smith had 10
ground balls for the Tigers (5-2, 1-0), who outshot the Colonels 70-25 but were hindered by 23
saves from Centre goalkeeper Bryce McCoy.

Streelman gets 1st PGA win
NBA
BREAKDOWN
PALM HARBOR, Fla. — Kevin
Streelman finally won on the PGA
Tour with a game that looked as if he
had done this many times before.
Streelman didn’t make a bogey
over the final 37 holes on the tough
Copperhead course at Innisbrook. He
didn’t miss a shot over the last 11 holes
on his way to a 4-under 67 on Sunday
for a two-shot win in the Tampa Bay
Championship.
Boo Weekley, who teed off three
hours before the leaders, had a tournament-best 63 and waited to see if that
would be enough.
Streelman, locked in a battle with
Justin Leonard over the final hour, came
up with one clutch shot after another.
He hit 5-iron into 6 feet on the par-3 13th
hole, the toughest at Innisbrook in the
final round, to take the lead for good.
“Probably the best shot of my life in
that situation,” Streelman said. “It’s just
how I envisioned it and I pulled it off.”
He locked up the win with a 20-foot
birdie putt on the par-3 17th and he was
all smiles walking up the 18th fairway.
Until Sunday, the biggest tournament
Streelman won might have been the
club championship at Whisper Rock.
He won in his 153rd start on the PGA
Tour, and it sends him to the Masters next
month for the second time in his career.
He finished at 10-under 274.
Lewis rallies
At Phoenix, Stacy Lewis won the
LPGA Founders Cup on Sunday to
jump to No. 1 in the
world, taking advantage of Ai Miyazato’s
collapse on the 16th
hole.
A day after Lewis
was penalized two
strokes for her caddie’s
blunder on the short
par 4, the American
took a two-stroke lead Stacy Lewis
with a birdie on the hole after Miyazato made a double bogey following an

INDIAN WELLS, Calif. — Rafael
Nadal rallied from a set and 1-3 down in
the second to beat Juan Martin del Potro
4-6, 6-3, 6-4 in the BNP Paribas Open final
on Sunday, giving the Spaniard his third
title in four tournaments since returning
from a seven-month injury layoff.
Nadal improved to a career-best 17-1
on the year, including 14 straight match
wins. He’s won three titles — two on
clay while runner-up in another on his
favorite surface — since returning from
a left knee injury.
Maria Sharapova defeated Caroline
Wozniacki 6-2, 6-2 to win her first title
of the year in the women’s final between
two former top-ranked players.
Indian Wells is his first hard-court
title since Tokyo in October 2010, having lost in six previous finals on the
surface. He won his 600th career match
and will move to No. 4 in the rankings
released today.
Nadal broke a tie with Roger Federer
with his record 22nd career ATP Tour
Masters 1000 title. He earned $1 million
for his third Indian Wells title.
Del Potro came up short in his bid
to beat three Top-10 players in the same
tournament for the second time in his career.
He defeated No. 3 Andy
Murray and No. 1 Novak
Djokovic in three sets
apiece in becoming the
second Argentine since
Guillermo Villas in 1977
to reach the final here.

Raikkonen won Formula One’s season-opening Australian Grand Prix on
Sunday, jumpstarting Lotus’ bid to challenge the series’ bigger teams for the 2013
championship. Raikkonen managed to

that helped me.”
It was Sharapova’s second career
title at Indian Wells, where she first
won in 2006. Wozniacki won here in
2011. The women met in a final for the
first time; their six other matches came
in earlier rounds.
The Russian is projected to move
one spot in the WTA Tour rankings to
No. 2 on Monday, dropping Victoria
Azarenka to third. Wozniacki will move
up one spot to No. 9.
The victory, worth $1 million, gave
Sharapova at least one title for 11
straight years dating to 2003.
Sharapova led 2-1 when Wozniacki
brought her coach-dad Piotr out during a
break. But she couldn’t get untracked, and
was broken again in the seventh game.
Sharapova fought off two break points to
take the first set in 38 minutes.
“She was putting pressure on me from
the start. She was serving very well,”
Wozniacki said. “I felt like everything that
she wanted to do today was going in.”

Hamlin, but indicated there’s no love
lost between the former Joe Gibbs
Racing teammates.
“That’s a freaking genius behind
the wheel of the 11 car — probably
the worst teammate I’ve ever had,”
Logano said. “I have a scorecard and
I’m not putting up with that. What
goes around, comes around. I had to
put up with him for years, so whatever.”
Hamlin shrugged it all off.
“He said he was coming for me,”
Hamlin said. “I usually don’t see him,
so it’s usually not a factor.”
The two sparred briefly on Twitter after the season-opening Daytona 500, when Hamlin complained
Logano ruined the closing laps of the
race. But he said Sunday’s flap was
not a carryover.
“It didn’t have anything to do with
that,” Hamlin said. “You’ve really got
to control your car and he slipped up
into me. Really, he would have been
in the garage with no radiator in it if
I had not checked up twice. I meant
to run in to him. I didn’t mean to
spin him out, but his day was fine.
We finished bad and he finished bad.
It’s even.”
But they continued sniping at each
other after the race on Twitter, overshadowing what was undoubtedly
the best race to date for NASCAR’s
new Gen-6 race car.
And, their feuding may have
played a role in the outcome of the
race, too.
Keselowski was the leader on the
final restart as he lined up next to
Kahne. Hamlin was lined up behind
Keselowski, with Logano lined

Kahne rocketed to the lead and never

the race about what happened — “I
got ran over!” — and that prevented him from breaking away on the
restart.
Hamlin backed up Keselowski’s
account.

Baylor ends
week on top
By Kelley Smiddie
Staff Writer
Gordon Lee’s state champion girls’ basketball team is just one of many successful sports teams at the North
Georgia school in recent years.
Trojans on a tear
Gordon Lee athletic teams lately
winning lots of state championships
By Lindsey Young
Staff Writer
CHICKAMAUGA, Ga.
— There’s a lot of new bling
being seen around Chickamauga in recent weeks — with
more still to come.
Less than a week after
winning the first basketball
championship in the history
of Gordon Lee High School,
members of the title-winning girls’ team spent part of
last Wednesday being sized
for championship rings. It’s
become a common sight at
the Class A school, which
now boasts a total of four
team titles this school year.
“I told the guy from the
ring company today that
we’ve made a lot of money
for them,” associate athletic
director Greg Ellis joked.
“Any time your school wins a
championship it’s special, but
to win four in one year?”
Before the girls’ basketball team upset top-seeded
Randolph-Clay in the state
title game, the wrestling
team won both dual and traditional state championships
and the ultra-successful softball team won its third consecutive title.
And it may not be over.
The golf, track and tennis
teams always are competitive, and the baseball team
is ranked in the top five with
what many believe is one of
the school’s best teams ever.
A search of the GHSA
archives proves this is a
rare season in Northwest
Georgia. Ringgold came the
closest in 2005 with three
team titles: softball and two
in wrestling.
“Everyone knows that
athletic talent, especially in
Class A, runs in cycles,” Ellis
said when asked to explain
the success. “Obviously, this
is probably the best cycle
we’ve ever had.”
Or as girls’ basketball coach Lester Galyon
explained, it’s talent and timing. The GHSA, after much
debate, decided to have separate championship tournaments for Class A public
and private schools in most
sports beginning this school
year. Galyon readily admits
the split benefited his program greatly, though he also
believes it doesn’t diminish
the accomplishment one bit.
“[The split] is a definite
factor for us,” Galyon said.
“We’ve had good teams in the
past, but we’ve always run
into private schools in the
tournament and lost. This
is perfect timing because
we also had the talent with
five seniors and several good
younger players.”
The split didn’t just
remove teams in Gordon
Lee’s path that had inherent advantages. It also gave
the players and coaches
even more enthusiasm than
usual.
“Really, the biggest thing it
did was we knew coming into
the season we had a chance,”
Galyon said. “We had a different attitude because, realistically, we knew we had to
play a perfect game to beat
the private schools. This year
we knew we could hang in
a game even if we weren’t
playing our best.”
Five members of the basketball team also have softball championship rings,
including Kalei Kimbrell,
who was the lone senior
on the 2012 softball team.
Moments after leaving the
court in Macon, she tried to
explain what it was like to
win two titles in one year.
“It’s really overwhelm-
Teheran impressive
as Braves top Mets
By Bill Whitehead
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. —
With Johan Santana sidelined,
Jonathon Niese is looking more
and more like the New York
Mets’ opening day starter.
Niese gave up one run and
two hits in five innings Sunday in the Mets’ 2-1 loss to
the Atlanta Braves.
With Santana still building up arm strength — he
hasn’t pitched in a single
spring training game —
Niese appears to be the likely
replacement for the April 1
opener against San Diego.
“I’m not convinced, but
there’s certainly a strong possibility that’s going to happen,” Mets manager Terry
Collins said.
With both clubs sporting
some green in their uniforms
and playing with green bases
on St. Patrick’s Day, Niese
struck out four and walked
one. He allowed Chris Johnson’s home run in the fourth,
Johnson’s third of spring
training. The drive went off
the scoreboard in left-field.
Atlanta worked the count
and ran Niese’s pitch count
up to 83.
Bidding to earn the fifth
spot in the Braves’ rotation,
Julio Teheran allowed a leadoff homer to Jordany Valdespin, then gave up just two
more hits. He walked two.
Valdespin’s homer landed
on the walkway beside the
berm down the right-field
line, his fourth home run of
the exhibition season.
“He hit a four-seam fastball,” said Teheran. “I was
behind in the count, so I
tried to get ahead. He was
jumping on me. I just tried to
stay focused on the game and
compete after that.”
Teheran lowered his ERA
to 1.35.
“I’ve been trying to make
the team and trying to impress
them,” he said. “That’s why
I’ve been doing good. A lot of
things are working better. I’m
throwing my breaking pitch
more for strikes. That’s the
difference from last year. I
tried to throw everything by
everybody last spring.”

ing,” the future Shorter University softball player said.
“I’ve been so blessed to be on
two really good teams. Our
school and parents expected this from us, and we’ve
worked so hard all year to
prove them right in both
sports. It’s a dream come
true to win two state championships in one year.”
The three title-winning
programs also have another
thing in common: failure.
Even Dana Mull’s softball
program had to use losing
big games as motivation.
After her second team captured a state title, the next
four seasons ended with
painful runner-up finishes.
“That was not a very fun
time,” Mull said. “That was
a whole graduating class
that knew nothing but second place, so the girls that
followed didn’t want that to
happen.”
What followed were titlewinning seasons of 38-0, 371 (before the public-private
split) and 34-3. It’s a path
the wrestling team knows
all too well. The Trojans
were considered title contenders in Steve McDaniel’s
final season as head coach
but finished second in the
state duals. Brent Raby’s
first season also ended in
disappointment and caused
his wrestlers to amp up their
training.
“The next year, with most
of the team being juniors,
they wanted to end that run
of losing,” said Raby, whose
team won what turned out
to be a co-championship in
duals that year. “This year
they wanted to win both
titles and they did. I think,
in every sport, as a coach
you want your next team to
be better than your last one
was. That definitely is the
feeling here.”
Each of the title-winning
coaches points to one major
behind-the-scenes factor in
this unprecedented season
of success, something that
happens to be a common
theme in almost any winning program.
“What most people don’t
see is the dedication of the
people in this community
and the love they have for
Gordon Lee,” Raby said.
“The parents put in the time
to make sure their kids get
everything they need to be
successful, and you can’t
have what we have here
without that.
“As a coach it’s good to
be a part of a situation like
this.”
Ring salesmen don’t mind
it, either.

Martin says Vols, SEC deserved better from NCAA
By Patrick Brown
Staff Writer
KNOXVILLE — After his
team’s loss in the Southeastern
Conference tournament on Friday,
Tennessee basketball coach Cuonzo Martin said it would be an insult
for the league to get just four teams
into the NCAA tournament’s 68team field.
The tournament selection committee made it clear what it thought
of the football-first conference on
Selection Sunday.
When the brackets were
unveiled on Sunday evening, regular-season champion Florida, Missouri and tournament winner Ole
Miss were the lone three teams in
the 68-team field.
Kentucky and Alabama joined
the Volunteers in the National Invitation Tournament after the final
four spots in the NCAA tourna-
ment went to teams from outside
BCS conferences.
“I’ve been in those leagues,
and it’s kind of a standard: this is
the way we have to schedule as a
league, because it’s about the league
getting in the tournament and not
just one team,” Martin said Sunday
night. “That’s something we really
have to look at, because there’s too
many coaches and the caliber of
talent in this league to get three
teams. That’s an embarrassment
to the SEC.”
It’s the first time since 2009
the SEC only received three bids
to the NCAA tournament and just
the second time it’s happened since
1990.
According to CBS Sports’ Rating Percentage Index, South Carolina, Mississippi State and Auburn
finished 227th or worst out of 347
Division I teams, and though the
league finished with nine teams
in the RPI’s top 100, only Florida
ranked in the top 25.
Six SEC teams finished with
non-conference strength-of-schedule ratings 146th or worst and Tennessee played the league’s thirdtoughest non-conference schedule,
according to ESPN.
The Vols did beat Wichita State,
Massachusetts and Xavier before
league play, but missed chances for
road wins at Georgetown and Virginia and lost at home to Memphis
and to Oklahoma State on a neutral
floor in a preseason tournament.
“I thought we did a good job
with that,” he said. “It’s just a matter of winning some games. I think
it comes down to us as a league
and doing a better job as a league
scheduling across the board.”
He pointed to Illinois and Minnesota, two teams that finished
with losing records in the powerful Big Ten and were comfortably
in the NCAA tournament field.
“If you’re league is strong,” he
continued, “then you have a great
opportunity. There’s no way in the
world in the Big Ten somebody’s
11-7 and doesn’t get in the tournament.”
The national perception of the
SEC plummeted following a bad
pre-conference showing, when the
league lost games to the likes of
Mercer, Tulane, Rhode Island, Winthrop, Youngstown State, LoyolaChicago, Troy, Alabama A&M, Elon
and Marist.
“We, as a league, have got to do a
better job across the board with our
scheduling and our strength in the
preseason,” Martin said. “There’s
some times, without saying any
names, in other leagues you’re
pretty good in the preseason, then
Ole Miss grabs SEC title
By Teresa M. Walker
not as strong as conference play
and you get in the tournament.”
For now, however, Martin, who’s
never been in an NCAA tournament game as a head coach, again
must prepare his team for the NIT,
college basketball’s secondary
tournament. The Vols host Mercer, the Atlantic Sun regular-season
champion who won at Alabama,
on Wednesday at 8 p.m. Because
Thompson-Boling Arena is hosting the first and second rounds of
the NCAA women’s tournament,
Tennessee would travel west with
a win to face either BYU or Washington in the second round.
“It was a case of where we’re
going for the NCAA tournament,”
Martin said. “You don’t get in the
tournament, and now you’ve got to
get your guys back up to compete
and play. That’s not an easy thing
to do.”
No. 9 Miami wins
its first ACC title
Wiedmer
Or that Tennessee and Kentucky both reached regional
finals in 2010.
As the Selection Committee tells us year after year,
that’s history, and it doesn’t
consider history.
And maybe it shouldn’t.
So to leave defending
national champion Kentucky
out of the field was fine. So,
too, Alabama, though the
Tide’s SEC worksheet (126) probably should have put
the Tide in the field instead
of conference brother Missouri, which lost eight of
10 league games away from
home.
Nevertheless, the committee is supposed to consider this year’s previous
performances, which brings
us to gripe about how in the
world Tennessee was left
out of March Madness at the
same time Middle Tennessee was chosen.
This isn’t to say Tennessee is necessarily a wonderful basketball team. Or that
it’s even better than Middle,
especially since the Blue
Raiders whipped the Vols
inside Thompson-Boling
Arena in last year’s NIT.
Of course, the Selection
Committee swears it never
pays attention to prior seasons, so that shouldn’t have
Mississippi guard Marshall Henderson led the Rebels to the SEC tournament
championship with a win over Florida on Sunday.
Kentucky in this game two
years go. The SEC regular
season champs still haven’t
won a game by fewer than 10
points this season. They go
into the NCAA tournament
0-6 in games decided by six
points or less.
“The people trying to
create this drama around a
situation that’s not necessarily true,” Florida coach Billy
Donovan said. “Our guys
haven’t lost confidence at all.
They dug themselves a hole
with our lack of defense. ...
The truth of the matter is we
were up 12 and allowed Ole
Miss to shoot 53 percent in
the second half and we shot
29 percent.”
The Gators had a final
chance to force overtime.
Scottie Wilbekin missed two
free throws with 4.2 seconds
left, and Kenny Boynton’s
last gasp 3 glanced off the
rim after he took a step back
to make sure he was behind
the line.
helped the Blue Raiders,
should it?
But this year should have
mattered, especially when
Middle’s best win was over
Ole Miss, which the committee thought so little of that
it seeded the Rebels 12th
after they toppled Florida in
Sunday’s SEC tourney title
game.
Meanwhile, UT fell by
one at Georgetown, by eight
at Virginia, thumped Wichita State — which got in as
an at-large team — won nine
of its last 11 games, including
victories over NCAA invitees Florida and Missouri,
yet will be playing in the
NIT.
Another view of the same
argument? That victory over
Ole Miss was Middle’s lone
win over a Top 100 opponent. TheVols had nine wins
against the Top 100 and were
3-3 against the Top 50.
What they didn’t have,
according to Selection Committee Chair and future
Georgia Tech athletic director Mike Bobinski, was a
signature road win. Never
mind that Middle had no
such triumph, either.
Said Bobinski to ESPN on
Sunday evening, “We looked
at a Middle Tennessee team
that is a veteran team, and
their ability to win on the
road [in the Sun Belt Conference]. They had no rough
patches along the way, and
their win over Ole Miss
looks better at this point in
time.”
This is where the committee has its Catch 22 moment.
If you’ve just seeded the
SEC tourney champ — a
team with 26 wins — at No.
12, how could a three-point
home victory over that team
get you in the field when it’s
your only win over a Top 100
team?
Yet the Vols being left out
in favor of the Blue Raiders
is also perhaps one of the
few arguments worth having
about this draw. Yes, Miami
— having won both the ACC
regular-season and tournament crowns — deserved
a No. 1 seed over Indiana,
which has lost three of its
last six games and failed to
so much as reach the final of
the Big Ten tourney.
Yes, too, a fifth-seeded
UNLV shouldn’t have to
play No. 12 seed Cal in San
Jose, Calif. Especially when
Bobinski admitted that both
Cal and Pac 12 Tournament
champ Oregon had actually
been No. 11 seeds, but were
moved down for bracketing
issues.
So not only do the fifthseeded Runnin’ Rebels have
to play a lower seed in what
amounts to a road game,
it has to play a No. 11 seed
instead of a No. 12. Really?
REALLY?
There’s also the matter
of the S-curve, which most
would argue is the only way
to assure that the overall No.
1 seed — in this case, Louisville — plays the weakest
No. 2.
But Bobinski said, “We no
longer use the S-curve.”
Which at least explains
why Duke — which was
regarded by many as the
overall No. 1 after last week’s
regular-season rout of North
Carolina in Chapel Hill —
became the No. 2 to Louisville in the Midwest some
eight days later.
And I’ll continue to argue
that no schools with a losing
conference mark — are you
listening, Minnesota and Illinois? — deserve a bid. Especially Minnesota, which lost
8 of its last 13.
Nevertheless, this also
seems to be as wide-open
a year as possible. At least
for all those who got in. For
Tennessee and Alabama —
the top two SEC teams left
home — it means something
else.
“When you win eight out
of the last nine [regular-season games] in the SEC, you
deserve to be in the NCAA
Tournament,” said UT coach
Cuonzo Martin on Friday,
just after his SEC tourney
loss to Bama. “If not, it’s an
insult to the SEC.”
At least the league can
always exact payback come
football season.

(27-6), including the goahead 3-pointer from the
left corner with 6:27 left that
started Miami’s final push
to secure the program’s first
ACC tournament title.
In a terrific back-andforth game filled with big
shots, the Hurricanes finally
slowed P.J. Hairston and the
third-seeded Tar Heels (2410) enough down the stretch
to secure what amounted to
a road win in front of UNC’s
home-state crowd.
Hairston scored 28 points
and had six of the Tar Heels’
13 3-pointers, the most in the
program’s tournament history.
But it wasn’t enough to secure
UNC’s first ACC title since
2008 nor coach Roy Williams’
700th career victory.

At Chicago, Ohio State is
the champion of the Big Ten
tournament — again.
DeShaun Thomas scored
17 points and the 10th-ranked
Buckeyes used their stout
defense to beat No. 22 Wisconsin for their conferencebest fifth tournament title.

Cardinals will face either Liberty or North Carolina State in

game Tuesday — on the road
because Rupp is taken for the

The selection committee
had its work cut out after five
teams swapped the top ranking in The Associated Press
poll, capped by West Coast
Conference champion Gonzaga (30-2) moving to the lead
spot for the first time in school
history. Bobinski said six teams
were in the running for No. 1
seeds on the final weekend,
the result of a season in which
no school established itself as
a clear-cut favorite.
Of course, only four spots
were available at the head
of each bracket. The top
one went to fourth-ranked
Louisville, which stumbled
through a three-game losing
streak in January after rising
to No. 1 in the poll, and came
up short in an epic five-overtime loss at Notre Dame a
few weeks later.
The Cardinals have ripped
off 10 straight wins since,
capped by a stunning turnaround in the championship
game of the Big East tournament. They trailed Syracuse
by 16 points early in the second half, but put on the fullcourt pressure and won in a
romp, 78-61.
The Big East, in its final
year before the basketballonly schools break away to
form their own league, led
the way with eight teams in
the NCAA field.

as Ohio State won the championship for the third time in the
last four years. Aaron Craft had
nine points and six rebounds,
and LaQuinton Ross delivered
a couple of huge plays for the
Buckeyes (26-7).
Travon Jackson scored 10
points for the Badgers (23-11),
who shot 38.3 percent from
the field. None of his teammates reached double figures, with Sam Dekker next
up at eight points.
Wisconsin and Ohio State
were close for most of the
second half, but the Buckeyes
seized on a cold spell by the
Badgers to move in front
down the stretch.
No. 1 seed, particularly after
finishing off one of the greatest conferences in the history
of college basketball with a
Big East championship,” Louisville coach Rick Pitino said.
“Our players showed incredible grit to come back from
16 points down. We know we
will be challenged right away
in one of the toughest brackets that I’ve seen in quite
some time. I think our guys
are up for the challenge.”
No. 7 Kansas (29-5) moved
up to take the second overall
seed after an impressive run
through the Big 12 tournament, punctuated by a 70-54
victory over rival Kansas
State in the title game. No. 3
Indiana (28-6) is third overall
despite falling to Wisconsin
in the Big Ten semifinals.
The Zags claimed the last of
the coveted No. 1 seeds, edging out Atlantic Coast Conference champion Miami.
The top spots are significant in at least one respect:
A No. 1 has never lost to a
16th-seeded team.
“It’s going to happen. A 16
is going to beat a 1 eventually,” Kansas coach Bill Self
said. “This is a unique tournament. I haven’t studied the

NASHVILLE — The
Mississippi Rebels now have
two very big items on their
resume that nobody can take
away.
Murphy Holloway scored
23 points and Marshall Henderson had 21 as the Rebels
gave coach Andy Kennedy his
first NCAA tournament berth
by upsetting 13th-ranked
Florida 66-63 on Sunday for
the Southeastern Conference
tournament championship.
“So much is made about
the NCAA tournament,”
Kennedy said. “I was just
glad to get the albatross that
is the NCAA tournament off
the neck of our program so
people can now exhale and
get a new focal point.”
The Rebels (26-8) have
won seven of eight grabbing their first tournament
title since 1981 and their second ever. Even though they
thought reaching this game
for the first time since 2001
probably clinched their seventh NCAA bid in Kennedy’s
seventh season as coach,
the Rebels wanted the SEC
championship, too.
“We worked so hard to get
to this point, and it just feels
so good to celebrate with the
guys in the locker room,”
Rebels senior guard Nick Williams said. “I don’t know man.
I’m at a loss for words.”
Reginald Buckner added
13 points for Ole Miss, which
won two straight without
point guard Jarvis Summers.
The sophomore suffered a
concussion in Friday night’s
64-62 win over Missouri.
That forced Kennedy to
use Ladarius White, while
Henderson and freshman
Derrick Millinghaus also
handled the ball.
“Can you imagine going
into a game of this magnitude
with a backup quarterback?”
Kennedy said. “And that’s
what this team had to do.”
Florida (26-7) hasn’t
won this tournament since
wrapping up a three-peat in
2007, and the Gators lost to

FROM BUBBLE TO BRACKETS: 68 TEAMS CHASING NO. 1
Capsules by staff writers John Frierson, Jay Greeson, Jim Tanner, David Uchiyama and Mark Wiedmer
MIDWEST
WEST
1. LOUISVILLE (29-5)
1. GONZAGA
Dance invite: Big East tournament champion
Dance leaders: Senior point Peyton Siva and shooting guard Russ Smith may or may not be the
best backcourt in the country, but they are certainly the quickest.
Dance style: Every Rick Pitino-coached team loves to run, but the Cards’ backcourt and a front
line that includes defensive gem Giorgi Dieng and powerful Shane Behanan give U of L the ability
to play slow or fast, halfcourt or fullcourt. Possibly the favorite to win it all.
Record: 31-2
Dance invite: West Coast tournament champion
Dance leaders: A finalist for the Oscar Rebertson Trophy and the West Coast player of the year,
junior forward Kelly Olynyk has played as well as anyone. Along with averaging 17.5 points and 7.2
rebounds a game, he made a staggering 65.5 percent of his 293 shots this season — third best in
Division I. Playing alongside Olynyk is another all-conference forward in Elias Harris, who averages
14.9 points and 7.4 rebounds.
Dance style: The top-ranked Bulldogs, always among the better teams in the country, have finally
reached the top of the mountain — at least in the regular season. They can score from anywhere,
they can defend and they don’t beat themselves with mental mistakes or turnovers.
2. DUKE (27-5)
Dance invite: ACC at-large
Dance leaders: Senior center Mason Plumlee averages a double-double (17.1 ppg, 10.3 rebs) and
senior guard Seth Curry shoots 43 percent from the 3-point line, but senior forward Ryan Kelly’s 56
percent marksmanship from 3 and his defensive skills are why the Blue Devils have lost but once
all season with him on the floor.
Dance style: Duke wants to run whenever possible, shoot the 3 if open and drive to the basket
for layups or free throws if the 3 isn’t available. Couple that with a physical man-to-man and you’re
usually in for a long night against Mike Krzyzewski, the winningest coach in the history of the sport.
3. MICHIGAN STATE (25-8)
Dance invite: Big Ten at-large
Dance leaders: Junior point guard Keith Appling (13.6 ppg, 3.5 apg) controls the Spartans’
punishing motion offense. Junior Adreian Payne (10.4 ppg, 7.5 rpg) is a punishing forward.
Dance style: The Spartans tied for second in the Big Ten and have a long history of tournament
success. This MSU team has the talent to reach its fifth Final Four of the last 13 years.
4. SAINT LOUIS (27-6)
Dance invite: Atlantic 10 tournament champion
Dance leader: Junior forward Dwayne Evans has proven to be a force on the inside despite being
a bit undersized at 6-foot-5.
Dance style: The Billikens are a deep team with lots of juniors and seniors to provide experience
and stability. They can get points from several players, which makes them tough to defend.
5. OKLAHOMA STATE (24-8)
Dance invite: Big 12 at-large
Dance leaders: Former East Ridge and Chattanooga State standout Philip Jurick is a defensive
force, but guard Marcus Smart and Markel Brown are the power in the OSU offense.
Dance style: Oklahoma State can hurt opponents in a variety of ways. Interior players Jurick and
Michael Cobbins can pound the glass, or coach Travis Ford can use a smaller lineup.
6. MEMPHIS (30-4)
2. OHIO STATE (26-7)
Dance invite: Big Ten tournament champion
Dance leaders: Junior forward Deshaun Thomasn (19.6 ppg, 6.2 rpg) is the Buckeye’s main offensive
weapon since no other OSU player averages more than 10 points per game. Junior guard Aaron Craft
(9.9 ppg, 4.7 apg) earned a spot on the All-Big Ten second team and the all-defensive team.
Dance style: The Buckeyes have been doing it with defense lately. They’ve won eight straight
games by holding opponents to 60 points or less in each game. OSU reached the Final Four last
year and wouldn’t surprise many to repeat based on their bracket.
3. NEW MEXICO (29-5)
Dance invite: Mountain West tournament champion
Dance leaders: The Lobos have three players scoring 12 points or more per game in guards
Kendall Williams and Tony Snell along with 7-foot post player Alex Kirk. Snell has had the hot hand
down the stretch and into the postseason.
Dance style: The balanced attack poses a challenge for opposing defenses. Snell and Williams are
the go-to guys on the perimeter, and the Lobos also can pound the ball inside to Kirk and forward
Cameron Bristow.
4. KANSAS STATE (27-7)
Dance leaders: Senior guard Rodney McGruder leads the Wildcats in scoring (15.6 ppg) and
rebounds (5.4 per contest), but sophomore Angel Rodriguez is also a threat both scoring and
distributing the ball.
Dance style: New coach Bruce Weber has led a resurgence in Manhattan, Kan., and this hardnosed team can play with anyone.
5. WISCONSIN (23-11)
Dance invite: Conference USA tournament champion
Dance leader: Point guard Joe Jackson, the C-USA player of the year, leads the Tigers with 13.6
points and 4.8 assists per game.
Dance style: Unbeaten in conference play, the Tigers were staggeringly balanced. Defensively,
they led the league on blocks (6.3) and were second in steals (9.0). Offensively, Memphis was third
in scoring (75.9 ppg) and second in field-goal percentage (47.9) and 3-point percentage (37.9).
Dance leaders: Senior center Jared Berggren (11.5 ppg, 7.1 rpg) epitomizes the Badgers
toughness. He, 6-foot-1 guard Ben Brust (11.3 ppg, 5.2 rpg) and 6-6 forward Ryan Evans (10.1
ppg), 7.5 rpg) have started every game this year.
Dance style: Break out the Barry White. These guys like to go slow and grind out victories under
Big Ten coach of the year Bo Ryan. The Badgers limited opponents to 56 points per game heading
into the postseason.
7. CREIGHTON (27-7)
6. ARIZONA (25-7)
Dance invite: Missouri Valley tournament champion
Dance leader: Junior forward Doug McDermott, the Missouri Valley player of the year, led the MVC
with 23.1 points per game and was ranked in the top three in rebounding (7.5), 3-point shooting
(49.7 percent), field-goal percentage (56.1) and free-throw shooting (86.0 percent).
Dance style: The Bluejays’ team shooting percentage of 50.8 is tied for No. 1 in the country with
Weber State. Creighton has hit 42.1 percent of its 3s this season, good enough for No. 2 in Division I.
Dance invite: Pac-12 at-large
Dance leader: Guard Mark Lyons scored right at 15 points per game for the erractic Wildcats. He
also personified their roller coaster ride — leading the team in scoring, 3-pointers and turnovers.
Dance style: Scoring — more than 73 per game — has not bee a problem for Sean Miller’s team.
It also has not bee a big hurdle for Miller’s counterparts either.
8. COLORADO STATE (25-8)
Dance invite: Mountain West at-large
Dance leader: Senior forward Colton Iverson gives the Rams their toughness. The 6-foot-10 player
leads the team in scoring and rebounds and shoots a gaudy 60 percent from the field.
Dance style: With four players averaging double figures in scoring, the Rams are more than
Iverson. Dorian Green and Wes Eikmeier average better than 35 percent from 3-point range.
9. MISSOURI (23-10)
Dance invite: SEC at-large
Dance leader: Point guard Phil Pressey, the SEC preseason Player of the Year, gets the
attention, both good and bad.
Dance style: Blessed with a deep, athletic team that has six players averaging in doublefigures, Tigers coach Frank Haith loves to push the pace.
10. CINCINNATI (22-11)
Dance invite: Big East at-large
Dance leaders: Sean Kilpatrick leads the Bearcats in scoring and guard Cashmere
Wright (12.6 ppg, 3.1 apg) remains the pulse of the team for what seems like his second
decade, but Cheikh Mbodj’s 2.6 blocks a night might become the biggest problem for
Cincy foes.
Dance style: You don’t win 22 games shooting 40 percent from the floor
without great defense and rebounding, and the Bearcats do both, holding
opponents to 59 ppg and outrebounding its foes by 6.5 a night.
11. MTSU (28-5)
Dance invite: Sun Belt at-large
Dance leaders: Senior guard Marcos Knight (12.5 ppg, 5.8 rpg)
is not a 3-point marksman, but he and senior guard Raymond
Cintron (8.7 ppg) find ways to score. They led MTSU to a
19-1 regular-season record before falling by four to Florida
International in the Sun Belt semifinals.
Dance style: The Blue Raiders found different ways to win
during a 17-game streak from Jan. 5 to March 9. They take wise
shots and rank No. 40 in field-goal percentage and share the
ball with an average of 14.2 assists per game.
11. ST. MARY’S (27-6)
Dance invite: West Coast at-large
Dance leader: Gaels senior point guard Matthew
Dellavedova, an all-conference pick, doesn’t leave the court
often. He plays 36.2 minutes a game and makes things
happen for St. Mary’s, averaging a league-best 6.4 assists a
game, as well as 15.8 points. He also led the team with 38
steals and has 148 in his career.
Dance style: St. Mary’s ranks No. 21 in Division I in
scoring with 76.3 points per game. The Gaels like to push
the pace and put up a lot of shots. Their 1,779 field-goal
attempts is among the highest in the nation, as is their
shooting percentage of 47.8.
12. OREGON (26-8)
Dance invite: Pac-12 conference champion
Dance leader: E.J. Singler is one of five Ducks players
averaging better than nine points per game.
Dance style: Oregon has not danced since 2008, still a 12seed for a major conference champ seems low.
13. NEW MEXICO STATE (24-10)
Dance invite: WAC tournament champion
Dance leader: Sophomore guard Daniel Mullings (14.0 ppg, 5.2
rpg) is a quality outside shooter.
Dance style: The Aggies are familiar with the format, having
played in 21 NCAA tournament games dating back to 1952.
14. VALPARAISO (26-7)
Dance invite: Horizon League tournament champion
Dance leaders: Senior forward Ryan Broekhoff (15.9 ppg,
7.3 rpg) hit nearly half of his 190 3-pointers this season and
87.8 percent of his free throws while leading the Crusaders in
rebounding. Senior forward Kevin Van Wijk (12.7 ppg) has smooth
post moves but tends to get in foul trouble.
Dance style: The Crusaders don’t fall for new tricks because
coach Bryce Drew (of 1998 Valpo fame for his shot that beat Ole
Miss) has only two underclassmen on his roster which ranks No. 6
in the nation in field goal shooting at 48.9 percent.
15. ALBANY (24-7)
Dance invite: America East tournament champion
Dance leaders: Senior guards Mike Black (15.0 ppg, 3.3 rpg) and Jacob
Iati (12.2 ppg) make a nice combo.
Dance style: The Great Danes prefer a slower tempo and rank below No. 200
in points, assists and rebounds per game.
16. LIBERTY (15-20)
Dance invite: Big South tournament champion
Dance leaders: Guard John Caleb Sanders (14.2 ppg, 3.4 apg) and guard
Davon Marshall (13.4 ppg) led an improbable run for the Flames through the Big
South tournament, including a championship win over top-seeded Charleston
Southern.
Dance style: The Flames have the worst winning percentage of any team that’s
danced since Oakland made the field at 12-18 in 2005.
16. NORTH CAROLINA A&T (19-16)
Dance invite: Mid-Eastern tournament champion
Dance leaders: Senior forward Adrian Powell (12.5 ppg, 5.0 rpg) is comfortable
shooting from the 3-point line where he hit 35.8 percent.
Dance style: NC A&T ranks No. 317 in the country by shooting 39.9 percent
from the field. The Aggies have not played in the NCAA tournament since 1992.
7. NOTRE DAME (25-9)
Dance leaders: Guard Jerian Grant (14.2 ppg) and post Jack “Burly” Curley (12.4 ppg) are Misters
Outside and Inside for an Irish squad that has become greater than the sum of its parts.
Dance style: The Fighting Irish are often patient in Mike Brey’s offense, going deep in the shot
clock to either score in close or bomb from afar. Defense struggles to stop penetration, but they
outrebound opponents by four a game.
8. PITTSBURGH (24-8)
Dance leaders: Point guard Tray Woodall leads the Panthers in points (11.8) and assists
(5.2). But 7-foot freshman center Steven Adams — the pride of New Zealand — may
be the key to how long Pitt lasts, his 6.2 rebounds and 2.1 blocks a night a tough
obstacle for any opponent.
Dance style: Defense. First, last and always. That, a 14.2 scoring margin and a
seven-rebound average are the biggest reasons to believe that Pitt can make some
noise in the Big Dance.
9. WICHITA STATE (26-8)
Dance invite: Missouri Valley at-large
Dance leaders: An all-name teamer as well as an All-MVC first-team pick, the
Shockers’ forward Cleanthony Early leads the team with 13.6 points per game.
Forward Carl Hall averages 12.8 points and 7.2 rebounds a game.
Dance style: Wichita State had the top defense in the MVC, allowing league
lows in scoring (60.7 ppg) and shooting percentage (40.0). The Shockers
also control the glass, having led the MVC in rebounding (38.4 rpg)
and rebounds allowed (30.0).
10. IOWA STATE (22-11)
Dance leaders: Will Clyburn leads the team in scoring, but three
other Cyclones are averaging in double figures as well. Clyburn
dominates on both ends of the floor, however, averaging 7.1
rebounds per game to go with his 15 points.
Dance style: The Cyclones are loaded with good shooters and are
fourth in the nation in scoring.
11. BELMONT (26-6)
Dance invite: Ohio Valley tournament champion
Dance leaders: Senior guard Ian Clark (18.1 ppg) and senior guard
Kerron Johnson (13.7 ppg, 4.8 apg) lead a veteran team that won by
an average of 13.2 points per game.
Dance style: This Bruins team picked up the beat to win the regular
season and tournament in their inaugural OVC season. Coach Rick
Byrd started the same five in all but one game this season. Belmont
averages 9.8 steals per game, which ranks No. 6 in the nation.
12. OLE MISS (26-8)
Dance invite: SEC Tournament champion
Dance leader: Marshall Henderson. Love him or loathe him, the
emotional junior college transfer is averaging 20 points a game, scored
21 or more points in each of the Rebels’ three SEC tourney games
and may be the most difficult backcourt player to guard.
Dance style: When Henderson’s hitting, post players Murphy
Holloway and Reginald Buckner can operate inside.
13. BOISE STATE (21-10)
Dance leaders: Anthony Drmic and Derrick Marks are the main
scoring threats for the Broncos, who just slipped into the Big
Dance after losing two of their last three games.
Dance style: Boise State uses an up-tempo offense and will try
to force opponents to match their pace for the entire game.
13. LA SALLE (21-9)
Dance invite: Atlantic 10 at-large
Dance leaders: Ramon Galloway is the Explorers’ best player.
However, Tyreek Duren is also a potent offensive threat and
provides a lift when needed.
Dance style: The question is whether La Salle is just going to
be happy to be in the Big Dance for the first time since 1992 or
will they be prepared to stick around for more than one game.
14. HARVARD (19-9)
Dance invite: Ivy League regular-season champion
Dance leader: Sophomore wing Wesley Saunders (16.5 ppg)
led the Crimson in scoring.
Dance style: Harvard’s strength is on the perimeter and its
weakness is in the post. They rank No. 11 in field-goal shooting
but 334th in rebounding. They’re also a little shy with freshman
Siyani Chambers running the point.
15. IONA (20-13)
Dance invite: Metro Atlantic tournament champion
Dance leaders: Senior guard Lamont Jones (23.0 ppg) is the
No. 3 scorer in the country. Junior guard Sean Armand (16.6 ppg)
has hit 108 of 262 3-point tries.
Dance style: The Gaels score. Only Indiana and Northwestern
State average more points per game than Iona’s 80.7.
16. SOUTHERN (23-9)
Dance invite: Won Southwestern tournament
Dance leader: Senior guard Derick Beltran (15.9 ppg, 4.5 rpg)
attacks the rim and hits 79.7 percent from the line.
Dance style: No team may be more excited to dance than the
Jaguars who were ineligible to play in the postseason last year
due to an NCAA ban for inadequate academic progress.

Capsules by staff writers Jay Greeson, John Frierson, Jim Tanner, David Uchiyama and Mark Wiedmer
EAST
SOUTH
1. INDIANA (27-7)
1. KANSAS (29-5)
Dance leaders: Junior guard Victor Oladipo (13.6 ppg, 6.4 rpg) and Cody Zeller (16.9 ppg, 8.2
rpg), a 7-foot center, present a talented combo. Senior Jordan Hulls (10.1 ppg) hit 77 of 166 3-point
attempts heading into the league tournament.
Dance style: The Hoosiers can dance with anybody in the nation, and they prefer the fast songs.
IU is one of the most efficient offenses in the country, shooting 48.8 percent from the floor and
averaging a second-best 80.8 points per game heading into the postseason.
Dance invite: Big 12 tournament champion
Dance leaders: Freshman Ben McLemore and senior Jeff Withey give the Jayhawks a big 1-2
punch. McLemore is shooting 44 percent from 3-point range, while 7-footer Withey is tough to
handle in the paint.
Dance style: Head coach Bill Self asks his players to play tough defense and use stops to feed the
offense of his always athletic teams. The Jayhawks can score at will on most teams.
2. MIAMI (27-6)
Dance invite: ACC tournament champion
Dance leader: Sophomore point guard Shane Larkin, who’s arguably the best pure point guard in
the country with averages of 14.2 ppg, 4.2 assists and 2 steals. Baseball Hall of Famer Barry Larkin’s
son is the biggest reason the Hurricanes won both the ACC regular-season and tourney titles.
Dance style: Befitting their hometown, they can both waltz and cha cha. They have four players 610 or taller among their first eight, but they also tossed in 12 3-pointers in Sunday’s ACC title game.
3. MARQUETTE (23-8)
2. GEORGETOWN (25-6)
Dance leader: Sophomore forward Otto Porter (16 ppg, 7 rebs, 44 percent from the 3-point line).
The Big East Player of the Year. Need we say more?
Dance style: There’s never been a Georgetown team that didn’t begin with defense and this one
is no exception. The Hoyas entered the weekend surrendering just 56 ppg. But it’s John Thompson
III’s Princeton-infused offense that often haunts Hoya foes with crisp backdoor cuts and open shots.
3. FLORIDA (26-7)
Dance leaders: Post player DaVante Gardner not only leads Marquette in rebounding (4.9 rpg), but
also hits 58 percent from the floor and 84 percent from the foul line. Guard Junior Cadougan hands
out more than 4 assists a night on a very balanced team.
Dance style: Physical. The Golden Eagles are in your face every possession. They’ll run off
misses, play patiently off made baskets and never take a possession off.
Dance invite: SEC at-large
Dance leaders: Senior guard Kenny Boynton (12.3) appears to be the emotional leader but the
key player for how far Florida travels in March may be senior forward Erik Murphy (12.7 ppg, 5.4
rebounds), who hits 47 percent of his 3-pointers.
Dance style: The Gators prefer to speed you up, pressing when needed. They lead the SEC in 3pointers made and you fail to guard them at your own risk. Unfortunately for Florida, it is yet to win
a close game all season, its 26 wins all coming by 10 or more points.
4. SYRACUSE (26-9)
4. MICHIGAN (26-7)
Dance leaders: C.J. Fair leads the ‘Cuse in both scoring (14.2) and rebounding (7.1). But the key
to how far the Orange advance could be James Southerland, who’s started but five games during a
suspension-plagued season, yet averages 14 points while hitting over 40 percent of his 3-pointers.
Dance style: The Orange want to free up Southerland for 3-pointers or send point guard Michael
Carter-Williams (7.7 apg) to the basket. But the key to ’Cuse’s success is how much trouble their 23 zone — which forces nine steals and five blocks a game — can cause the opposition.
Dance leaders: Sophomore point guard Trey Burke (19.2 ppg, 6.7 apg) was voted Big Ten player of
the year and teams with junior guard Tim Hardaway Jr. (14.8 ppg, 4.7 rpg) to form one of the best
backcourts in the country. Glen Robinson III (10.7 ppg, 5.4 rpg) can be a beast in the paint.
Dance style: Forget the slow songs. With Burke and Hardaway running the fast break, the
Wolverines love to get into the open floor and push the pace. This isn’t a 3-yards-and-a-cloud-ofdust Michigan team.
5. UNLV (25-9)
5. VIRGINIA COMMONWEALTH (26-8)
Dance leader: Freshman Anthony Bennett leads the Runnin’ Rebels with 16-plus points and 8-plus
rebounds per game. He shoots a very respectable 38 percent from beyond the arc and clearly is
the go-to guy for this team.
Dance style: Nine of the 14 players on UNLV’s roster are freshmen or sophomores, but the young
team has come together behind Bennett and senior guard Anthony Marshall.
Dance leaders: Treveon Graham and Juvonte Reddic lead the team in scoring and rebounds, but
Troy Daniels and Rob Brandenberg also are threats on offense.
Dance style: With balance on offense and solid coaching from Shaka Smart, VCU has gone from
being a Cinderella team to being a real threat to anyone it faces.
6. BUTLER (26-8)
Dance leader: While four of the Bulldogs average double figures in scoring, Rotnei Clarke is the
main offensive threat. The transfer from Arkansas shoots better than 40 percent from 3-point range
and is an 88 percent free-throw shooter.
Dance style: Butler has had an up-and-down year but has shown it is good enough to beat the
likes of Indiana, Gonzaga and North Carolina. The Bulldogs are not to be overlooked.
7. ILLINOIS (22-12)
Dance leader: Senior guard Brandon Paul (16.6 ppg) is the focal point of first-year coach John
Groce’s offense. He is a ball-handler and shooter who has made 40.5 percent of his field-goal tries
and 73 percent of his free throws.
Dance style: The Illini do it on defense. They held Big Ten opponents under 60 points in six of their
eight conference wins this season. And they like to dance close. Illinois is 7-1 in games decided by
five points or less.
8. N.C. STATE (24-10)
Dance leaders: Junior forward C.J. Leslie is averaging 14.9 points and 7.4 rebounds on his way
to the NBA, but physical point guard Lorenzo Brown (12.1 ppg, 7.2 apg) is the biggest key to
whether this outrageously talented team with five double-figure scorers can travel deep into
the tournament.
Dance style: Wide-open. The Wolfpack tends to gamble on both offense and defense,
hoping its usual advantage in athleticism can deliver a win.
9. TEMPLE (23-9)
Dance leaders: Khalif Wyatt is a scoring machine, averaging almost 20 points per
game for the Owls. He has the ability to rise to the occasion when coach Fran Dunphy
and his teammates need him most.
Dance style: With a veteran backcourt and an outstanding coach, the Owls could give
any opponent fits in the tournament.
10. COLORADO (21-11)
Dance leader: Forward Andre Roberson was the Pac-12’s defensive
player of the year and leading rebounder.
Dance style: The Buffalos played a tough schedule and has the talent
in Roberson, freshman Xavier Johnson and shooting guard Spencer
Dinwiddie to play with most anyone.
11. BUCKNELL (28-5)
Dance invite: Won Patriot League tournament
Dance leader: Senior Mike Muscala (19.0 ppg, 11.2 rpg) is a 6-foot11 center with skills to hit fade-away jumpers and hook shots with
both hands, which helped him earn the league player of the year
honor. He’s had 22 double-doubles this season.
Dance style: The Bison beat Arkansas in the opening round of the
2006 tournament and beat Kansas in the opening round in 2005.
12. CALIFORNIA (20-11)
Dance leader: Allen Crabbe scored 18.6 per game and was the Pac12 player of the year.
Dance style: Guard-driven with Crabbe and Justin Cobbs, the Bears can
score. But neither is a pure point guard, and Cal’s depth is a question.
13. MONTANA (25-6)
Dance invite: Big Sky tournament champion
Dance leaders: Senior forward Mathias Ward (14.8 ppg, 3.9 rpg)
and junior wing Kareem Jamar (14.5 ppg, 6.0 rpg) lead a perimeterorientated team that took Davidson to overtime in an ESPN
BracketBuster game on Feb. 23.
Dance style: The Grizzlies have become a consistent dance partner.
Montana returns to the NCAAs for the third time in four years and sixth
time in the last 12 dances. They won a first-round game over Nevada
in 2006.
14. DAVIDSON (26-7)
Dance invite: Southern Conference tournament champion
Dance leaders: SoCon player of the year Jake Cohen (14.8 ppg,
5.5 rpg) is a lanky center who creates a mismatch with most centers
because he shot 38.7 percent from the 3-point line. De’Mon Brooks
(13.8 ppg, 6.2 rpg) is the true post player for coach Bob McKillop, and
senior Nik Cochran (9.8 ppg) has almost a 2-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio.
Dance style: They’re not a team anybody else wants to tango with. The
Wildcats are veterans of the Big Dance, having attended last year and
losing by seven to Louisville. They shoot 36.9 percent from the 3-point
line, which complements Cohen and Brooks inside. They lead the nation
by hitting 80.1 percent of their free throws.
15. PACIFIC (22-12)
Dance invite: Big West tournament champion
Dance leaders: Senior guard Lorenzo McCloud (11.4 ppg, 4.0 apg) and
senior forward Travis Fulton (9.1 ppg, 4.0 rpg) lead a team that has won
its last seven games.
Dance style: Please play a sentimental song. Pacific coach Bob
Thomason, 63, said he’d retire at the end of the season after 25 years
of coaching the Tigers. He’ll conclude his career after taking the tigers to
their fifth NCAA tournament under his guidance.
16. LIU BROOKLYN (20-13)
Dance invite: Northeast Conference tournament champion
Dance leaders: Senior forward Jamal Olasewere (18.5 ppg, 8.5 rpg) and
senior guard C.J. Garner (16.1 ppg, 4.1 rpg) lead the Blackbirds in scoring
and rebounding. They led LIU-Brooklyn to the first NEC team to win three
straight conference titles.
Dance style: The Blackbirds are dancing for a third straight year and fifth time
in school history. They like the fast tracks with an average of 79.5 points per
game (No. 5 in the country), and they shoot 48.4 percent from the floor (10th).
16. JAMES MADISON (20-14)
Dance invite: Colonial tournament champion
Dance leaders: Senior forward Rayshawn Goins (12.7 ppg, 7.4 rpg) and
senior guard A.J. Davis (12.1 ppg) lead a balanced Dukes team that has four
players averaging 10 or more points per game. Davis has been hot lately,
averaging 26.3 in JMU’s last six games.
Dance style: The Dukes are a little rusty. They haven’t played in the NCAA
tournament since 1994. But the six seniors will fear no date or destination
in this tournament.
6. UCLA (25-9)
Dance leaders: Freshman star Shabazz Muhammad scores almost 18 points per game and has
40 3s, which leads the team since Jordan Adams was injured.
Dance style: Adams broke his foot in the Pac-12 tournament, leaving even more pressure on
Muhammad and the rest of the Pac-12 regular-season champions.
7. SAN DIEGO STATE (22-10)
Dance leaders: Jamaal Franklin is the key to the Aztecs offense, averaging close to 17 points
per game and pulling down almost 10 rebounds per game as well. Chase Tapley helps spread the
scoring load with 13.5 points per game.
Dance style: San Diego State coach Steve Fisher is content to allow the Aztecs (and particularly
Franklin) to have fun on the court, and that has worked so far.
8. NORTH CAROLINA (24-10)
Dance leaders: The trey duo Reggie Bullock and P.J. Hairston not only lead the Tar Heels
in scoring with averages of 14.4 and 13.7 ppg, but also 3-point shooting (44 and 38 percent,
respectively). That marksmanship makes UNC a threat in any tourney game.
Dance style: Tar Heels coach Roy Williams has won two national titles by running at every
opportunity, whether the opponent misses or makes. This team is no exception, though it
doesn’t rebound the misses as well with a four-guard lineup.
9. VILLANOVA (20-13)
Dance leaders: Freshman guard Ryan Arcidiacono (12 ppg, 3.5 assists), senior
post Mouphta Yarou (9.7 ppg, 7.8 rebounds) and sophomore shooter JayVa
Pinkston (13 ppg) lead the Wildcats.
Dance style: Villanova has fewer assists, fewer made 3-pointers, fewer steals and
more turnovers than their opponents. All they do is find a way to win by 3.1 ppg.
10. OKLAHOMA (20-11)
Dance leader: Romero Osby is tough on opponents in two ways, averaging 15.8
points and seven rebounds. He struggled in the Big 12 tournament but without a
doubt is the leader on the team.
Dance style: The Sooners like to score from various places on the floor, and
coach Lon Kruger likes a balanced attack. They generally play tough man-to-man
defense and try to force low-percentage shots from their opponents.
11. MINNESOTA (20-12)
Dance leaders: Junior guard Austin Hollins (10.6 ppg) and sophomore guard
Andre Holins (13.9 ppg) are one of the best brother backcourts in the country.
Senior center Trevor Mbakwe (10.0 ppg, 8.7 rpg) is a physical inside force at
both ends of the floor.
Dance style: The Gophers spent most of the week awaiting an invitation
that finally arrived at the last minute. They went 8-10 in the nation’s strongest
conference and tied for seventh in the Big Ten.
12. AKRON (26-6)
Dance invite: Mid-American tournament champion
Dance leaders: The Zips zagged to the NCAA championship after leaving
behind starting point guard Alex Abreu who was suspended indefinitely on
March 7. Senior center Zeke Marshall (13.0 ppg, 7.1 rpg) and junior forward
Demetrius Treadwell (11.4 ppg, 7.9 rpg) made up for Abreu’s absence in the
MAC tournament.
Dance style: The Zips don’t mind mixing it up. They’re 33rd in the country
with an average of 15 assists per game, they’re also able to bruise their way
inside with the 35th best rebounding team in the land.
13. SOUTH DAKOTA STATE (25-9)
Dance invite: Summit League tournament champion
Dance leaders: Senior guard Nate Wolters (22.7 ppg) scored at least 10
points in every game he played this season, including 53 in a win over
IPFW. He scored at least 20 points 22 times. Junior forward Jordan Dykstra
(12.p ppg, 7.9 rpg) adds an inside presence.
Dance style: The Jackrabbits make good decisions on offense, which
leads to them shooting 47 percent from the floor and scoring 73.9 points
per game — both top-40 marks in the country.
14. NORTHWESTERN STATE (23-8)
Dance invite: Southland tournament champion
Dance leaders: Junior forward DeQuan Hicks (14.1 ppg, 5.8 rpg) did not
attempt a 3-point shot all season yet led the Demons in scoring despite
averaging 20.1 minutes per game. Freshman Jalan West (10.3 ppg)
doesn’t mind taking 3s and he hit 34.8 percent of his 141 attempts.
Dance style: It doesn’t get much faster than the Demons who lead the
country in scoring at 81.0 points per game. They also clean up after
misses with the 13th best ranking in rebounding at a 39.3 per game clip,
and they 24th team in assists per game averages with an average of
15.5.
15. FLORIDA GULF COAST (23-10)
Dance invite: Won Atlantic Sun tournament
Dance leaders: Sherwood Brown (15.2 ppg, 6.3 rpg), Bernard
Thompson (14.1 ppg) and Chase Fieler (12.1 ppg, 5.4 rpg) form a
three-headed monster that took down Miami in the nonconference part
of the season.
Dance style: The Eagles are new to this party. In its second season of
eligibility, FGCU earned its first date to the dance. Brown and fellow senior
Eddie Murray threw out first pitches at a Twins spring-training game.
16. WESTERN KENTUCKY (20-15)
Dance invite: Won Sun Belt tournament
Dance leaders: Sophomore guard T.J. Price (15.3 ppg) and 6-6 sophomore
George Fant (12.9 ppg, 6.8 rpg) are coach Ray Harper’s inside-outside
combination. Price isn’t shy from the 3-point line, but Harper can be a liability
at the free-throw line after shooting 60.4 percent from there this year.
Dance style: The Hilltoopers are hopping. They’ve won seven of their last
eight games with the loss coming against Middle Tennessee State. They shot
32.4 percent from the 3-point arc this season, which ranks among the worst
100 in the nation.

LISA DENTON:
Barry, you’ve worked

though George Jones and

one I mean, the one about
fractious activities on a
weekend night.
LISA: The Possum is

in Nashville with a 15,000seat, sold-out show at
Bridgestone Arena on
Nov. 22. I was a little surprised when I checked

Furniture safety
Safety groups spreading word to
parents about furniture tip-over danger
By Kay Manning
Chicago Tribune
Two years after her son
Shane was crushed by a
falling dresser in the family’s home just outside Chicago, Lisa Siefert drives to
her advocacy work on the
dangers of tip-overs with
his car seat still in place.
She can’t bring herself
to go into the bedroom
where the 2-year-old
died, but gathers the will
to talk about what happened because she didn’t
know furniture should be
anchored and wants to
warn others to prevent
another tragedy.
“When you walk into
(a children’s store), you
expect the products to be
safe, but that’s not true,”
says Siefert.
The dresser that fell on
Shane two years ago was
recalled in February by the
U.S. Consumer Product
Safety Commission after an
investigation found it to be
hazardous. Several other
actions focusing on tipovers are pending or have
been launched after the
number of deaths and injuries to children from falling
televisions and furniture
keeps rising.
From 2000 to 2011, 349
people were killed in tipovers, 84 percent of them
younger than 9. In 2011,
there were 41 deaths — the
highest one-year total ever,
according to the safety
commission, which says
that, on average, one child
dies in a furniture tip-over
See TIP-OVER, Page D6
Lisa Siefert’s son, Shane, died in 2011 after his dresser fell on top of him. (Shane’s
portrait is the one closest to Lisa). The Sieferts started Shane’s Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to child safety with a focus on tip-over education and awareness.

Wedding for rebound bride
should be small, subdued
DEAR ABBY: My 26-year-old daughter was
married last year, but four months after the wedding her husband was arrested for child molestation that had occurred years before. She filed for
divorce immediately.
In the meantime, she has met someone and is
now pregnant. They want to be married as soon as
her divorce is final. My question is, what kind of
ceremony would be appropriate in this case, especially since her father and I are church pastors in a
small town? — SMALL-TOWN WEDDING
DEAR SMALL TOWN:
If your daughter had written to me, I
would have
advised her
not to rush
into another marriage
so quickly
and, if
she hasn’t
Dear Abby
already
Written by
Jeanne Phillips d o n e s o,
she should
seek some counseling
because of what she has
been through.
However, because she
and the father of her baby
are determined to tie the
knot as soon as possible,
their ceremony should be
low-key, with a few close
friends and family attending. The ceremony could
be either a religious one
or a civil one, depending
upon their preference. I
hope their union will be
a happy and successful
one.

HEALTH
Painful urination can have
several different causes
DEAR DOCTOR K: I’m a 45-year-old woman.
Now and then, I suddenly feel pain every time
I urinate. It lasts for a week or so and then goes
away. My doctor said I don’t have a urinary
infection and didn’t prescribe any treatment.
What else might be causing my symptoms?
DEAR READER: Several different conditions can
cause such symptoms:
■ A bladder infection
(cystitis) often starts when
bacteria enter the urethra
during sexual intercourse. The
urethra is
the tube
that connects the
bladder to
Dr. K
the outside
Dr. Anthony
world. BacKomaroff
teria live
around the opening of the
urethra; sometimes they
can get into the tube and
travel to the bladder. This
tends to happen more often
following sex, because sex
tends to push the bacteria
back up into the bladder.
■ Kidney infection.
A kidney sometimes can
become inflamed when
bacteria cause a bladder
infection. Long tubes called
ureters connect the kidneys
to the bladder; bacteria can
sometimes make the long
trip up the ureters to the
kidneys. The symptoms of
a kidney infection, in contrast to a bladder infection,
include fevers, pain in the
side of the back, nausea,
shaking chills and sometimes low blood pressure.
Kidney infections always
need urgent medical attention.
■ Urethritis is an inflammation of the urethra. It is
usually caused by organisms that cause several sexually transmitted diseases,
such as chlamydia. It also
can be caused by contact
with an irritating chemical (such as bubble bath
or spermicides). Or it may
result from irritation from
an object, such as a tube
inserted to drain urine.
■ Vaginitis is an inflammation of the vagina. It can
be caused by an allergic
reaction to an irritating
chemical such as a spermicide, douche or bath soap.
Low levels of estrogen after
menopause can cause vaginitis. So can an object such
as a tampon. Infections
including bacterial vaginosis, candidiasis and trichomoniasis can also cause
vaginitis. Usually vaginitis
causes discharge from the
vagina, but sometimes it just
causes pain with urination.
The doctor who said
you don’t have a urinary infection may have
checked only for bacterial
infections of the bladder
and urethra. You might ask
your doctor about urethritis and vaginitis.
If you continue to have
pain when you urinate,
check with your doctor
again. To confirm a diagnosis, you may need to have a
urine test, blood test, a swab
of the infected area, or other
tests to check for sexually
transmitted diseases.

FAITH
Learn about love through Christ
Q: All my life I’ve been searching for someone
who will love me. But I always seem to fall for men
who say they love me, but end up using me and
then dropping me. Why can’t I get it right? — A.R.
A: We all want to be
loved, and we all want
to love in return — and
there’s nothing wrong
with that,
because
God gave
us
the
ability to
love. The
Bible says,
Billy Graham “We love
because he first loved us”
(1 John 4:19). Think of it:
Love is a gift from God!
But when we misuse that gift it becomes
destructive, and I fear
that’s happened to you.
True love isn’t just interested in what someone
will give me; instead, it
seeks to help them and
serve them. Sadly, however, love easily becomes
selfish and twisted, and
instead of being beautiful and joyous, it becomes
ugly and hurtful.
The greatest discovery
you’ll ever make is that
God loves you and wants
you to become part of his
family. You are very valu-
able to him — so valuable
that his only son was willing to give his life for you.
Don’t stay on the road
you’ve been on; it will
never bring you happiness.
Instead, by a simple prayer
of faith confess your sins
to God and ask Jesus to
come into your heart and
put your life on a new path
— his path.
Then ask God to help
you to make right decisions about your future,
and to avoid old friends
who will tempt you to do
wrong. The Bible says,
“Do not be misled: ‘Bad
company corrupts good
character’” (1 Corinthians
15:33). Ask him also to lead
you to a church where you
can grow in your faith, and
also meet people who will
love and encourage you.

Comic curriculum
Schools embrace graphic novels as learning tool
By Diane Rado
Chicago Tribune
In honors English class
at Alan B. Shepard High
School, sophomores are analyzing Truman Capote’s “In
Cold Blood” with the help
of another book filled with
drawings and dialogue that
appears in bubbles above
characters’ heads.
“Capote in Kansas” is
what generations of kids
would recognize as a comic
book, though it has a fancier
name — a graphic novel.
That honors students at
the Palos Heights, Ill., high
school are using it illustrates
how far the controversial
comic-strip novels have
come in gaining acceptance
in the school curriculum,
educators say.
Once aimed at helping
struggling readers, English
language learners and disabled students, graphic novels
are moving into honors and
college-level Advanced Placement classrooms and attracting students at all levels.
They’re listed as reading
material for students in the
new “common core” standards being adopted across
the country, even though
some naysayers still question
their value in the classroom.
There’s no data on precisely how many schools
nationwide use graphic novels. But no one disputes that
in other markets the popularity of the comic-style books
— adapted to classic literature, biographies, science,
math and other subjects — is
on the rise.
Karen Gavigan, an assistant professor at the University of South Carolina who
has focused her research
on graphic novels, points
out that their sales have
increased by nearly 40 percent over the past 10 years.
And public libraries have
seen significant increases
in circulation after adding
such material to their collections.
“A whole range of kids just
love these,” Gavigan says.
Fans abound in English
teacher Eric Kallenborn’s
sophomore honors class at
Shepard.
“It perfectly complemented ‘In Cold Blood,’ ” sophomore Kyle Longfield says
of “Capote in Kansas.” He
believes the story helped him
better understand Capote’s
groundbreaking book about
two killers and their brutal
murders in Kansas.
On a recent day, Kyle, 16,
led his fellow honors students through a discussion
that compared the depiction
of Capote in the comic-book
novel to the author’s voice
and literary style in “In Cold
Blood.” That discussion
would have been considered
unusual in the past.
Just ask Daniel Argentar, a
communication arts instructor at Adlai E. Stevenson
High School in Lincolnshire,
Ill. Along with a colleague,
he introduced the graphic
novel “Maus” to some struggling freshman readers about
Students in Eric Kallenborn’s sophomore honors English class at Alan B. Shepard
High School in Palos Heights, Ill., contrast the graphic novel “Capote in Kansas” by
Ande Parks and Chris Samnee with the novel it is based on, Truman Capote’s “In
Cold Blood.”
eight years ago.
“People thought we were
crazy,” Argentar says.
The Holocaust-related
book won a special Pulitzer
Prize award in 1992, the first
graphic novel to do so.
At the time, many Stevenson students already had
read Elie Wiesel’s Holocaust
book “Night,” so Argentar
was looking for an alternative that would appeal to
students more attuned to
the visual. Some colleagues
didn’t think the comic-book
format of “Maus” was rigorous enough, Argentar says,
but students liked it.
A website he and his colleague created to help educators teach “Maus” still generates calls and emails from
around the country, Argentar
says.
“You’re always going to
have the traditionalists say
comic books aren’t real literature, and I guess to a certain
extent they have a point,” he
says. “But my point is that
it is different literature. It
is visual literature, and I’d
be failing my kids if I didn’t
train them for all the visual
reading they do today.”
Gavigan says graphic novels help students develop
language skills, reinforce
vocabulary and develop critical thinking skills, among
other benefits.
The comic book-style
format goes back decades or
even centuries, depending on
scholars’ interpretations. In
the 1970s, the term graphic
novel emerged when Will
Eisner’s “A Contract with
God” stories were published,
Gavigan says.
“Then ‘Maus’ won the
Pulitzer, and I think that
changed everything,” she
says. “I think that gave a lot
of credibility to the format.”
More recently, graphic
novels moved further into
the mainstream when most
states began adopting the
new common core learning
standards that guide schools
on what students should
learn.
Illinois adopted the rigor-
ous standards in 2010, and the
state’s public school students
are scheduled to be tested on
them beginning in 2014-15.
“Graphic novels are specifically addressed in the
common core standards,”
says Michelle Ryan, president
of the Illinois Association of
Teachers of English.
The standards refer
to “texts” as the medium
through which literature
and reading skills are taught,
Ryan says, and can include
picture books used in kindergarten or the graphic novels
available in high school.
“Graphic novels ... are
specifically identified in the
expected reading materials
for students,” she says in an
email.
That might surprise some
parents who may not be
familiar with graphic novels
in the classroom or who may
be wary of this modern twist
on literature.
Jennifer Williams’ son
Larry Lesniak is in Kallenborn’s sophomore honors course at Shepard. She
admitted to being “a little
opposed” when Larry and
his younger brother began
reading graphic novels.
“This is not a book,” Williams recalled saying when
the boys picked out graphic
novels at the library.
She remembers reading
classics by authors Edgar
Allan Poe and John Steinbeck when she was a high
school honors student. She
also recalls not liking some
of the material she had to
read.
So if a graphic novel can
hold her sons’ interest, “I’m
all for it,” Williams says.
Brian Curtin, an English
teacher at Schaumburg High
School and the 2013 Illinois
Teacher of the Year, says he
loved the graphic novels he
read in his master’s classes
and believes they can help
build comprehension and
engage unmotivated readers. But “I think you’d be on
a slippery slope to look at
graphic novels as a substitute
for the real thing,” he says.
GRAPHIC NOVELS
Comic book-style books
known as graphic novels
come in all categories
— from biographies to
adaptations of classics.
The subject areas also
include math, science,
social studies and sports.
Here are some examples
compiled by Karen
Gavigan, an assistant
professor at the University
of South Carolina, and
Mindy Tomasevich, a middle
school librarian in North
Carolina. The two co-wrote
a book published in 2011
called “Connecting Comics

‘Bates’ backstory and ‘Top of the Lake’
Tune In
Tonight
and you’ve got something
more discomforting than
entertaining.
By Kevin McDonough
For a far more original
effort, don’t miss the sevenpart miniseries “Top of the
Lake” (9 p.m., Sundance, TV14).
“Lake” stars Elisabeth
Moss (“Mad Men”) as a
troubled detective out to find
a missing, suicidal 12-yearold girl, who happens to be
five months pregnant. The
girl is the daughter of violent drug lord Matt Mitcham
(Peter Mullan), who presides
over a cultlike family from a
ramshackle compound. They
live in a bucolic spot aptly
named Paradise. Mitcham
gets even more violent when
it appears that a local Realtor has sold a parcel of his
hideaway to a mystical guru,
GJ (Holly Hunter), who uses
it to create a healing retreat
for wounded women.
The cultural collision of
angry alpha-dog males and
GJ’s new-age feminist troupe
is unforgettable. Like many
efforts from writer and director Jane Campion, “Lake” is
slow to build, but more than
pays off. Filmed in New Zealand, the series’ gorgeous
and haunting scenery shows
human darkness wallowing
in the full light of day.
LATE NIGHT

is scheduled on “The

As she was in “Up in the

way too chummy with her

Highmore does a good

also appears to be imitating
Anthony Perkins’ memorable

“Bates” is an ambitious,

Blonde bombshells’ lives
often explode early
The lives of quite a few
Hollywood blonde bombshells
have gone the way of James
Dean’s credo, “Live hard, die
young, leave a good-looking
corpse” — whether they had
any awareness of traveling
that route or not.
Although plenty of Tinsel
Town’s most sizzling sex symbols live long lives i.e., Mae
West and Raquel Welch, the
job of bombshell is fraught
with occupational and lifestyle
hazards.
Party girls, oftentimes with
a taste for dangerous men —
or vice versa — have lost their
lives through self-destructive
drug and/or alcohol downspirals, by accidents or by
murder.
Even those who do manage to reach their golden years
often have scandals and close
calls to look back upon — like
seven-times-wed Sweater Girl
Lana Turner, for instance,
whose violent, abusive affair
with underworld figure Johnny Stompanato ended in 1958,
when her then-14-year-old
daughter Cheryl stabbed him
to death with a kitchen knife
in her defense.
At least, that was how the
case was resolved, ruled a
justifiable homicide, though
questions about exactly what
happened that night have
never been laid to rest. Turner
died in 1995 at age 74.
Dorothy Stratten only
made it to age 20. She had
been a Playmate of the Year
and had done five movies and
some television work when
she became the victim of a
murder-suicide at the hands of
estranged husband Paul Snid-

er. She’d fallen in love with
filmmaker Peter Bogdanovich, who later wrote a book
about her titled “The Killing of
the Unicorn.” “Star 80,” with
Mariel Hemingway and Eric
Roberts, recreated the Stratten-Snider story of obsessive,
jealous love.
Charming Thelma Todd
— a.k.a. Hot Toddy — was
one of the early film actresses
to prove that one can be gorgeous and hilarious simultaneously. She scored successes
in both dramas and comedies
(was a great foil for Groucho
Marx in “Horse Feathers” and
“Monkey Business”), opened a
successful cafe in Pacific Palisades and was a popular figure
on the Hollywood social scene
of the day.
In 1935, Todd was found
dead in her car of carbon monoxide poisoning in a garage
belonging to the ex-wife of her
business partner. She was 30.
Her death was ruled accidental, but suspicions swirled that
she’d either committed suicide
(her friends quickly dismissed
that idea, saying she’d been in
great spirits) or been murdered. She was said to have
been receiving threats from
gangster Lucky Luciano.

TIMELINE
four hours just to see the
ice caps of Mars with their
own eyes,” remembers Pitkin, who has been at the
observatory, located behind
the Brainerd Road Bi-Lo, for
about 13 years.
Facilitating such intimate connections between
the public and the heavens
has been the core of the
observatory’s mission for
more than 75 years. People
visit observatories, Pitkin These are two contributed examples of astrophotograsays, for the same reason phy done by the Clarence Jones Observatory. At top is

games — the game might
be viewed more easily and
in greater comfort at home,
but there’s an inherent value
to witnessing something in
person.
“At the risk of sounding
like an over-age science
teacher, learning science is a
participant sport, not a spectator sport,” he says.
A SCOPE
OF THEIR OWN
GROUND CONTROL
“Those who have had a
leading part in its construction undoubtedly will live to
see countless thousands ...
receive immeasurable benefit through its use,” reads
an city official’s statement
about the observatory in a
1937 Times article.
But the enthusiasm soon
faded. In a 1944 Chattanooga
Times article, city schools
Superintendent Lawrence
G. Derthick said the system wasn’t fully utilizing
the observatory and never
would be able to, calling it “a
liability, rather than an asset,
to the city.”
The board of education
gave the observatory to the
University of Chattanooga,
now UTC. As part of a 99year agreement, the observatory would remain open to
the public and school groups
one night a week, and the
school agreed to offer astronomy courses.
“
and how exciting it can be,”
says Adkins, who has been
a member of the Barnard
Astronomical Society for
about 50 years and attended
Brainerd Junior High, which
is now 21st Century Academy.
Kirk Eidson, 57, first visited the observatory in second
grade on a Cub Scout trip. He
can’t remember what he saw
first, but he does remember
the thrill of walking up to the
eyepiece and “see[ing] into
the heavens.”
“You walk up to that big
hunk of steel, put your eye up
there and ‘Wow’ is the first
thing that comes out of your
mouth,” says Eidson, who
still regularly attends the
observatory’s Sunday night
viewings with his stepson,
Robert Ingle.
Held while UTC is in session, each program begins
with a short lecture and a
presentation in the planetarium. If conditions are clear,
guests are taken in groups
of 10 to view the night’s target object through the telescope. If the group is too
large, some guests will set up
a secondary viewing station
in a nearby graveyard, using
the observatory’s mobile 8and 10-inch telescopes.
Even when conditions
are ideal, however, viewing is limited, thanks to the
interference of high humidity and worsening light pollution from the surrounding
Brainerd community. As a
result, the telescope primarily is used to view only the
brightest heavenly bodies,
such as the moon, the planets
and the Orion Nebula.
But observatory staff say
focusing on objects thou-
You walk up to
that big hunk of steel, put
your eye up there and
‘Wow’ is the first thing
that comes out of your
mouth.
”
— Kirk Eidson
However, by the 1980s,
the observatory was all but
abandoned by UTC, according to Bobby Thompson,
who served as its operations
manager from 1992 to 2000.
When he arrived, the observatory’s doors wouldn’t lock,
the viewing dome wouldn’t
rotate and the windows were
broken out, Thompson says.
The telescope was missing parts and hadn’t been
cleaned in years, he adds,
and a group of student Dungeons and Dragons players
were using the facility as a
gaming den.
Thompson began diverting budget excess from the
college’s physics and geology departments to get the
observatory off the ropes.
In all, he says he funneled
about $20,000 to $25,000 to
the facility.
STAR PEOPLE
Tom Adkins, 64, first
visited the observatory in
eighth or ninth grade. At the
time, he says, the telescope
seemed enormous, and looking through it awakened in
him a love of science that
helped drive him to become
a physicist.
“If you never expose people to that, they might never
realize they have that interest

sands of light years away
was never the facility’s function. People don’t care what
they’re looking at, Pitkin says,
so long as they can see that
Earth isn’t a blue dot floating
all alone in a vacuum.
“What we do with it is
what we’ve done with it ever
since we opened, [provide]
a place for people to stare
off into space and learn a
little bit about astronomy,”
Pitkin says. “My philosophy
is: If all we can see is the
moon, then let’s look at the
moon.”

In addition, an estimated 43,000 individuals are
injured each year in tipovers, with almost 60 percent of them younger than
18, according to the safety
commission.
The deaths and injuries
are preventable, the safety
commission says, but alerting new parents, caregivers
and grandparents about
safety straps and brackets
requires coordination and
cooperation from furniture
and TV manufacturers and
retailers, as well as physicians, hospitals and consumer groups.
“From stability to interaction with installers to the
role parents can take, it’s
an all-in approach to bring
down an ever-increasing
number of deaths,” says
Scott Wolfson, a safety commission spokesman.
A big factor in the
increase is sales of flatscreen televisions and the
subsequent misplacement
of older, heavier TVs elsewhere in homes. The safety commission says falling
televisions cause 62 percent
of tip-over fatalities.
SafeKids Worldwide, a
network of organizations
working to prevent injuries
to children, was spurred to
act after monitoring reports
from emergency rooms and
the Consumer Product Safety
Commission about tip-overs,
says Kate Carr, president and
CEO of the Washington, D.C.based group.
As Siefert speaks to
groups, she asks if people
secure their furniture and
often gets blank stares, she
says. She also hears that
people don’t want to damage their walls or floors by
installing restraints.
“People say they don’t
need straps because they
watch their kids. But sometimes accidents happen in
front of parents. I tell them I
took all the safety measures
I knew about, but this is my
son,” she says, holding up
a brochure with a photo of
Shane in monster truck earmuffs, a month before his
death.
The brochure offers
safety tips and is part of
the work of the nonprofit
Shane’s Foundation, started
by Siefert to warn parents
about tip-overs.
Shane had never shown
any inclination to climb on
his dresser, which had small
teddy bears behind clear
plastic windows in compartments above the drawers but only a changing pad
on top, Siefert says. Yet, on
March 14, 2011, that’s what
he must have done when
he was in his room for his
afternoon nap. When Siefert
went to wake him, she found
him under the dresser.

Tip-over
may push to make mandatory what is now a voluntary standard on tip-overs
for furniture manufacturers, says executive director
Nancy Cowles.
“It should be assumed
that furniture is safe” if
sold for children’s rooms,
Cowles says. “Some companies do (comply with the
standard), some don’t.”
By law, the Consumer
Product Safety Commission
has limited ability to impose
restrictions, Wolfson says. If
a voluntary standard exists
to curb a potential hazard
and if it’s being complied
with, the commission cannot force implementation,
he says.
The voluntary standard
for “clothing storage” containers, such as dressers,
went into effect in 2009,
based on testing by ASTM
International, which develops technical standards for
products, materials and services.
“We look at the stability of chests, if they’re fully
loaded and drawers are
open,” says Len Morrissey, a
director of standards development. “They must withstand the pull force of 50
pounds,” the approximate
weight of a 5-year-old.
To comply with the standard, safety straps must be
attached to chests and the
furniture must carry tipover warning labels, Morrissey says. Many retailers
won’t sell chests unless
they meet the standard, and
manufacturers will advertise that they meet ASTM
criteria, he says.
The standard will be
updated in April, with the
major change clarifying how
to test the stability of drawers, he says. This had been
unclear to some foreign
manufacturers and needed
to be consistently applied
for tests to be valid.
How many manufacturers are complying with
the standard is difficult to
quantify because there’s no
formal means of keeping
track.
Ikea, which sells readyto-assemble children’s furniture, prints a tip-over
warning on instructions. It
says, “Children rarely do
what you expect them to
do. They climb, clamber
and play with things in ways
that are often difficult to
foresee.” Buyers are urged
to use brackets to secure
furniture to the wall.
C re a t i n g s u ff i c i e n t
awareness about tip-overs
to actually change consumer behavior can be a
long process, says Carr of
SafeKids, citing initial reluctance about seat belts and
child car seats.
“This is completely a 100
percent preventable problem,” she says. “If making
the standard mandatory is
the only way to accomplish
it, we’ll advocate for that,
but we’re hoping companies
will put notices on furniture
and then parents will take
them seriously and take
action in their homes.”

The Clarence T. Jones
Observatory was the brainchild of its namesake, a Lookout Mountain-based architect
and amateur astronomer. In
the early 1930s, he joined the
local Barnard Astronomical
Society, which had wanted
an stargazing telescope for
years, but the $20,000 cost
— about $336,000 in 2013
dollars — was too high.
Jones proposed a lessexpensive alternative: Why
buy one when they could
make their own? In 1935, he
presented city officials with
a plans for an observatory
and a telescope, which would
be constructed almost exclusively through volunteer
labor.
Hamilton National Bank
President T.R. Preston
donated land for the project
— a remote, barren hilltop
above what is now 21st Century Academy. Construction was largely was funded
by $17,000, divided about
equally between a U.S. Public
Works Administration grant
and city funding, according
to news archives.
The observatory building was completed in 1936
while the telescope was still
being constructed. Over
the course of a year, Jones
and his sons worked on the
telescope in the observatory’s basement. Visitors
were able to get their first
close look at the skies in
1937, and the observatory
was officially dedicated in
1938, making this year its
75th birthday. Although it
since has outpaced by other
institutions, the 20.5-inch
telescope was the largest
amateur-built telescope in
the world when it was completed, Pitkin says.
