In a striking cultural signal of
just how differently consumers
are eating, Starbucks has leaped
ahead of Burger King and Wen-
dys to become the nations
third-largest chain restaurant in
domestic sales.
Starbucks now ranks behind
only No. 1 McDonalds and run-
ner-up Subway, according to re-
searchfirmTechnomics just-re-
leased listing of Americas top 500 restaurant
chains in total 2010 U.S. sales.
For decades, the nations top three restaurant
chains were the burger and fries triumvirate:
McDonalds, Burger King and Wendys. No longer.
Two of 2010s top three Subway and Starbucks
dont even sell burgers or fries.
Today, even as the coffee kingpin is expected to
report stellar second-quarter earnings, it has got
something else to crow about. Starbucks keeps
gaining and gaining, says Ron Paul, president of
Technomic. Carrying a Starbucks cup in your
hand says something about you as a person.
One key to the recent success of Starbucks is an
ongoing shift in howconsumers define healthy,
says Sandra Stark, vice president of food at Star-
bucks. People used to think low-calorie or low-fat
meant healthy food, she says.
More recently, she says, thats
evolved to food whose ingredi-
ents consumers understandand
can pronounce. Two years ago,
Starbucks was among the first
chains to remove all artificial
ingredients fromits food.
Not that the chain doesnt
have challenges. The prices it
pays for coffee beans and milk
have skyrocketed, forcing it to
recently raise coffee prices. And
the company is undertaking a
massive possibly risky ef-
fort to evolve into a grocery
store seller of much more than coffee products.
Starbucks has become the default cupof coffee
for most people, says Bryant Simon, history pro-
fessor at Temple University and author of Every-
thing but the Coffee: Learning About America.
Starbucks has been one of the strongest
growth stories in all of retail over the past 20
years, says Sharon Zackfia, analyst at William
Blair &Co.
Starbucks recent growth, however, is also due
to the shared weakness of Burger King and Wen-
dys, Paul says. They both need to figure out
where their niche is.
Executives from Burger King and Wendys de-
clined to comment.

About half of recent attacks by Afghan security
forces against their U.S. comrades were the result
of combat stress or personal disagreements and
the rest were Taliban infiltration plots, a military
reviewshows.
On April 16, a member of the Afghan army
killed five Americanand four Afghansoldiers at a
training base in eastern Afghanistan. In January,
an Afghan soldier killed one U.S. servicemember
and wounded another. In 2010, eight U.S. troops
were killed by Afghan security forces.
Of 16 recent attacks by Afghan forces on U.S.
and allied troops, about half were committed by
Afghan soldiers or police officers motivated by a
grudge against a partic-
ular person or because
of combat stress, said
Army Lt. Gen. William
Caldwell, who leads the
training of Afghan
forces. Caldwell saidfive
other attackers may
have become disgrun-
tledandbeenconvinced
by insurgents to mount
attacks. The motives of
the others were not
clear.
Toprevent infiltration
by the Taliban, the U.S.
and Afghan militaries are moving forward with a
comprehensive program that vets each of the
284,000 Afghan troops and police officers. The
eight-step screening process includes a criminal
background check and drug and medical testing.
Theres no question that theres going to be a
continued effort on the part of the Taliban to
continue these kind of attacks, Caldwell said.
Theyll do whatever it takes in order to show a
lack of stability or security or impinge upon the
trust that is being built between the Afghan and
coalition security force.
He said the attacks have not created ill will
between U.S. and Afghan troops. Were finding
the Taliban is really drawing us all much closer
together, Caldwell said fromKabul.
Several attacks in recent weeks were commit-
ted by insurgents wearing Afghan army uni-
forms. The Afghan government responded
Thursday by enforcing a ban on the sale of
military uniforms at markets, Caldwell said.
Attempts to infiltrate security forces can be
expected in a counterinsurgency effort and can
be expected to continue, said James Dubik at the
Institute for the Study of War. Dubik, a retired
Army three-star general, led the training of Iraqi
security forces in 2007.
It has the potential for being disruptive of the
trust and confidence security forces need in one
another, Dubik said. But everyone there un-
derstands the bad guy is going to try to do bad
things.
Attackers with Taliban sympathies seem to
share two common traits, Caldwell said. They
deserted their force for some time before return-
ing, and the attackers had no family members
living in Afghanistan.
The Afghans have nowput out an edict that if
somebodys family is not living in Afghanistan,
then its going to be far more difficult for themto
get into the police or army, Caldwell said.

For years, when John Spencer talked about
tourists taking forays intospace, he oftenwas met
with giggles or a blank stare.
The laugh factor on this was really intense,
says Spencer, founder of the Space Tourism Soci-

But withcorporate visionaries pouring millions of

Its happening, he says. Theres a market.
Theres a waiting line. . . . Our ultimate goal is:
Tens of thousands of space tourists actually leave
Earth, go to orbital cruise ships, lunar ships, lunar
resorts, and have a great time.
The notion of an ordinary person taking a trip
beyond Earths atmosphere is no longer the stuff
of science fiction. Several already have gone, and
hundreds more have paid for trips that could
begin as soon as next year. Even as NASAs shuttle

International Space Station. Now, space travel is
beginning to mirror the airline industry, with its
own travel agents, carriers and hubs.
Companies such as Virgin Galactic, founded by
billionaire and aviation enthusiast Richard Bran-
son, and XCOR Aerospace in Mojave, Calif., are
building spacecraft and selling tickets for subor-
bital flights that will allow passengers to see the
Earths curvature and experience weightlessness.
Commercial spaceports are sprouting from
Upham, N.M., to Kodiak, Alaska. And
Space Adventures, the Virginia-based
company that since 2001 has ar-
ranged eight private trips to the Space
Station, has booked one passenger for an ex-
cursion around the far side of the moon and has a
passenger seat to fill on the first private lunar
mission, which could happen as soon as 2014.
The moon-bound passengers also would fly on
the Soyuz. Other space aviation companies, some
solely with private dollars and others with the
help of some government funding, are spending
tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars to
create vehicles that couldferry tourists into space.
A ticket to ride doesnt come cheap, costing at
least $95,000, but space entrepreneurs believe
that they can facilitate travel to near space more
affordably than NASA and fulfill the desire by
some non-astronauts to go beyond Earth.
Stephen Attenborough, Virgin Galactics com-
mercial director, sees similarities between the
growing space travel industry and notions of
commercial aviation a century ago, when few
people would have believed that plane rides
would be commonplace.
My sense is were on a very similar path here,
he says. At the moment, most people would
assume theyd never go to space. I think theyre
going to be wrong. . . . My view of the future is
that, maybe in 30 to 40 years, most people who
want to go to space will have the opportunity to
do it, and that it will be affordable.
Dreaming of space
Branson has made his mark on flight, from
startingtheVirginAtlantic airlinetobeingthefirst
to cross the Atlantic Ocean in a hot-air balloon.
But hes long set his sights higher.
Ive dreamed of going into space ever since the
moon landing when I was a teenager, says Bran-
son. I assumed that once man had gone to the
moon that ordinary people like myself would
have that opportunity years ago.
Whenthat didnt happen, Bransontookmatters
into his own hands and registered the name
Virgin Galactic in 1991.
The company eventually connected with engi-
neer Burt Rutan, creator of the first privately
developed manned space vehicle, dubbed Space-
ShipOne. SpaceShipTwo, being created for Virgin
Galactic, will be able to carry six passengers 68
miles intothe air. Currentlyconductingtest flights
in Mojave, the company is considered by some to
be the leading contender for becoming the first
commercial spaceline in the world. Commercial
flights could start by the end of next year.
George Whitesides, Virgin Galactics CEO, is
quick to say, however, that this isnt a new space
race. Immore focused on building a vehicle that
is as safe as possible than I am in flying first, he
says.
For the fledgling space tourism industry, per-
fecting the technology has been only one piece of
the puzzle. Pioneers in the field also have had to
make sure theres a pool of passengers willing,
and financially able, to fly.
A trip to the International Space Station on the
Russian Soyuz spacecraft, for example, costs
roughly $50 million, according to Space Adven-
tures. A seat on the Lynx Mark II, a suborbital
vehicle being developed by XCOR, is a relative
bargain in comparison, costing $95,000. Spots on
Virgin Galactics craft go for $200,000 each.
This is not just about starting a business. Its
about hopefully starting a whole new industry,
and in order to do that as the leader in the field,
we need to do it well, and we need to make
money, says Attenborough. When the business
started, There was a lot we didnt know at that
point, and one (question) was . . . whether any-
body would really want to take a trip at the sort of
prices that we knew wed need to start the busi-
ness with.
Plenty did: 425 people have signed up for the
journey, putting down roughly $60 million in
deposits. Its the democratizationof space, and to
put poets in space and artists as well as scientists
and movie stars and business people, the results
of that I think will be huge and shouldnt be
underestimated.
Producer Dallas Austin has booked his trip and
was among a fewinearly April tofly alongside the
Virgin Galactic mothership, WhiteKnightTwo,
which landed at San Francisco International Air-
port its first time touching down at such a hub.
Hes had friends question how safe such a
journey would be, and his reply is simple:
Theres no way Im not going into space. Austin
says that, for an ordinary person, a trip to space
can be life-changing. Youll really see how insig-
nificant our problems are, to see (the world) from
a different perspective.
Test flights next year
XCOR expects by the end of next year to begin
test-flying the Lynx Mark I, a two-seat craft, to be
followed by the more advanced Mark II, which
could start commercial flights in 2013, says
spokesman Mike Massee. More space vehicles
could follow, he says, depending on the de-
mand.
Massee wouldnt give a specific figure but says
the number of passengers who have paid for the
roughly 35-minute trip is in the double digits. It
will take a little more than four minutes to travel
about 60 miles up in the air, to the edge of space.
Then the vehicle begins to re-enter the atmos-
phere, gliding back home. What you see at those
altitudes is the skyturns darkindaytime, he says.
You can see stars and easily the curvature of
Earth. And aside from the visual experience . . .
its also the ultimate roller-coaster ride.
Boeing, one of the biggest aircraft manufactur-
ers in the world, has a keen eye on space as well.
Part of (our) vision is to become the Boeing
commercial airplane of space travel, says John
Elbon, vice president and program manager of
Boeings commercial crew program, which is de-
veloping a seven-seat commercial space capsule.
We hope to . . . either operate those vehicles or
provide them to other operators to enable com-
mercial access to space.
Private space ventures are looking to take more
than tourists into space. Their goal is to carry
scientists and cargo beyond Earth as well.
As the shuttle programcomes toanend, private
companies are looking to fill a new niche. Fifty
years after the first human went into space, pri-
vate companies would take over the task of build-
ing and providing transportation for NASA astro-
nauts and others into low Earth orbit, freeing the
government to focus its resources on the deeper
reaches of space.
Last week, NASA awarded $270 million to four
companies, including Boeing and Blue Origin, an
aerospace research and development company
started by Amazons founder, Jeff Bezos, to con-
tinue developing or creating designs for vehicles
that could take over where the space shuttle
leaves off, carrying NASA astronauts into near
space.
At this time . . . we believe we can hand over
more of that to a commercial entity with some
good oversight and insight from the NASA com-
munity, says Ed Mango, program manager for
NASAs commercial crew program. And NASA
can focus on even harder stuff, which is going
beyond lowEarth orbit.
NASA envisions the vehicles being used to
transport non-astronauts as well, such as scien-
tists, engineers and perhaps space tourists,
thoughMangosays tourismis not NASAs priority.
NASA should be trying to find ways by which
we can do things in space for a less-expensive
price so it helps life back on Earth, says Mango,
noting how medical scientists could possibly do
research at the International Space Station or
another lab.
Spaceports across the USA
But spaceports are springing up around the
country. The FAA has approved eight, and Space-
port America in NewMexico, where Virgin Galac-
tic is the anchor tenant, dedicated its runway in
October.
Still under construction, but with its first phase
nearly complete, Spaceport America will resem-
ble its airport peers with newsstands, gift shops
and restaurants, but also have innovative installa-
tions, such as, say, a booth where visitors can
experience weightlessness.
A lot of (the installations) will be aimed at
motivating and inspiring students in science,
technology, engineering and mathematics, says
Chris Anderson, executive director of the New
Mexico Spaceport Authority. Like back in the
days whenPresident Kennedy challengedus to go
to the moon and inspired a generation of scien-
tists and engineers. Im hoping this will excite
people again.
Branson sees his spacecraft as only the begin-
ning. I think in the very first year . . . Virgin
Galactic will create more astronauts than have
been created in the last 70 years, he says. And
thenI thinkfromsmall beginnings, fromsuborbit-
al flights, (the industry) will grow into orbital
flights. From orbital flights, that will grow into
intercontinental flights at a fraction of the
(time) . . . . Well be able toput satellites intospace
at a much more affordable price than they have in
the past. And so I think commercial spaceship
companies will bring the cost down of every
aspect of access to space.
Tom Shelley, president of Space Adventures,
says his company started in 1998 with the in-
tentionof arranging trips onsuborbital flights. But
until that option became a reality, the business
focused on simulated space experiences instead,
such as a visit to the cosmonaut training facility in
Russia, where you could experience the feeling of
a moon walk through buoyancy.
But now the skys the limit, for the public and
for the businesses plowing the newfrontier.
Its just exciting, Shelley says. Somebody
may be first, but all these companies are going to
win in the long run.

After 133 missions, 14 astronauts lost in two
tragic accidents and almost four decades of work,
NASAs space shuttles will head to museums once
this years final two missions are done.
So what did we get for the $113.7 billion that
NASAsays was spent on the shuttle?
A century-long dream, the reusable, winged
space plane was sold by the space agency as the
logical successor to the Apollo missions of the
moon-race era inthe early 1970s. Budget cuts and
compromises such as enlarging the shuttle pay-
loadtoholdmilitary satellites limitedthe promise
of making space travel cheap, frequent and easy,
says historian Roger Launius of the Smithsonians
National Air and Space Museumin Washington.
The history of the space shuttle is one of biting
off more than we can chew, says policy analyst
Roger Pielke Jr. of the University of Colorado. In a
recent Nature journal estimate, Pielke put the
true cost of the programat $192billionfrom1971
to 2010 (more than the space agency estimate
partly because of adjustments for inflation), or
about $1.5 billion per launch. In 1972, NASA
estimated each launch could be done for
$10.4 million.
Says Pielke: However you add it up, it was an
enormously expensive undertaking.
Economically, you cant make an argument for
it, says economist Henry Hertzfeld of the Space
Policy Institute at George Washington University.
Originally, the program was supposed to make
dozens of launches a year, lowering the costs per
launch. Its busiest year, 1985, with nine launches,
contributed to the loss of the Challenger shuttle
with seven astronauts the next year, according to
the subsequent investigation.
From 1981 to today, the space shuttle carried
about 2,300 experiments into space, NASA
spokeswoman Stephanie Schierholz says.
The most widely cited one, says David Pendle-
bury of Thomson Reuters science information
service, is a 1996studyof anti-shock shorts used
to measure astronaut fitness. Overall, the shuttles
science achievements rank 10th on the Science
News tally, which ties scientific discoveries since
1973 to individual space agency programs. First
on that list with more than six times as many
discoveries is the Hubble Space Telescope.
Technologically, the shuttle pioneered many
advances, says physicist Luke Sollitt of The Citadel
in Charleston, S.C. NASA is keeping the space
shuttles reusable liquid-rocket engines for future
missions, for example. And it allowed for the
construction of the International Space Station.

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg
asked fire and buildings officials Tuesday to look
for new ways to combat landlords who illegally
subdivide their properties, after three people
died in a fire in illegal housing early Monday.
The Bronx building where a child and his
parents died had been illegally converted, cutting
them off from fire escapes, Bloomberg said. Be-
cause of legal standards required to get warrants,
he said, the city is able to gainentry only to half of
the properties that are the subjects of complaints.
City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, who said
the council will hold hearings on the issue, said
courts deny two-thirds of access requests.
Suspect held in botched mall bombing
A man suspected of leaving a pipe bomb and
two propane tanks at a Denver-area shopping
mall was arrested after being spotted at a su-
permarket about 30 miles away, authorities said.
Earl Moore, 65, was taken into custody by the
FBI after a shopper sawMoore at a Starbucks in a
Boulder supermarket Tuesday and called 911.
Police spokeswoman Kim Kobel said he had
been sought since the explosives, which did not
detonate, were found April 20 at the Southwest
Plaza Mall after a fire.
The fire occurredonthe12thanniversaryof the
shootings at Columbine High, 2 miles from the
mall. The FBI has said the incident probably was
not related to Columbine.
Radiation sparks Ohio plant inspection
Highradiationlevels at a nuclear reactor north-
east of Cleveland prompted a special inspection
by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Workers at the Perry Nuclear Power Plant
evacuated on Friday when radiation levels rose
while it was shutting downfor a refueling outage,
the commissionsaidTuesday. Plant officials dont
believe workers were exposed to radiation levels
in excess of NRC limits, the commission said.
It shouldnt have happened, but the bottom
line was it did not impact the safety or health of
(workers) or the public, said Todd Schneider,
spokesman for plant owner FirstEnergy.
College student beats deportation order
A Mexican college student who won powerful
allies in Connecticut as he fought a deportation
order can stay in the country for now, Sen.
Richard Blumenthal said. Mariano Cardoso, who
graduates from Capital Community College in
Hartford next month, won a temporary reprieve
fromthe Department of Homeland Security.
He said he felt honored that Democrats Blu-
menthal and Gov. Dannel Malloy and indepen-
dent Sen. Joe Lieberman backed him.
Blumenthal said the stay is likely to be re-

Death rowauthor wins legal round
Afederal appeals court in Philadelphia ordered
a new sentencing hearing for convicted police
killer and death row activist Mumia Abu-Jamal,
finding that instructions given to the jury at his
1982 trial were potentially misleading.
The court said the former Black Panther must
get a newhearing within six months or his death
sentence will be converted to life in prison. His
murder conviction still stands in the shooting of
officer Daniel Faulkner, who was white. District
Attorney Seth Williams said he will appeal.
Lockdown ends for Texas city
Residents of a southeastern Texas city were
told they could go outside again Tuesday, after
officials determined that overnight power out-
ages did not cause three Houston-area refineries
and a chemical plant to release unhealthy
amounts of harmful gases. The shelter-in-place
order for Texas City lasted about 12 hours, said
Homeland Security coordinator Bruce Clawson.
Residents had been advised to stay inside after
power failures shut down a Dow Chemical plant
and all or parts of three refineries, including a BP
unit where a 2005 explosion killed15 people.

If population growth is a
contest, suburbia wins
hands down.
Almost 85% of the nations
308.7 million people live in
metropolitan areas, and
more than half are in ever-
expanding suburban rings
that encircle major cities.
Anewpattern is emerging
this century. Most of the
growth is happening on op-
posite ends of the suburban
expanse: in older communi-
ties closest to the city and in
the newer ones that are the
farthest out.
Afewdecades ago, all the
growth was on the edge,
says Robert Lang, an urban
sociologist at the University
of Nevada-Las Vegas who
analyzed 2010 Census data.
Now, there are citylike sub-
urbs doing well on one side
of the metropolis while con-
ventional suburbs still flour-
ish on the fringe.
Close-in suburbs in the 50
largest metropolitan areas
added 6 million people from
2000 to 2010, an 11.3% in-
crease. The nation grew9.7%
in the same period.
At the same time, less
populated suburbs on the
outer edge grew even faster.
They gained 6.7 million, a
24.5%increase.
The numbers show that a
resurgence in urban life-
styles spilledover fromcities
into their nearby suburbs,
Lang says, but even that
wasnt enough to stop the
outward growth to cheap
land and housing and less-
congested areas.
Pro-urban vs. pro-subur-
ban thinkers can both find
affirmation of their views in
these numbers, he says.
Theyre both right.
Americas suburban land-
scape has four distinct rings,
Langs research shows:
uInner suburbs. Many
developed in the 1920s and
1930s along streetcar lines.
Because theyre close to cit-
ies and usually have exten-
sive public transportation,
they have gained in appeal
as gas prices have soared.
Theyre most attractive to
the young, the childless and
immigrant families. Many
buildings are old, so there is
less reluctance to rebuild
and fill in vacant space. Key
examples are Arlington and
Alexandria, Va., suburbs of
Washington, D.C., and sec-
tions of Tampas Hillsbor-
ough County and San Anto-
nios Bexar Countyall dou-
ble-digit gainers since 2000.
Theres been a growing
sentiment towards moving
closer (to cities) in the past
decade, says JohnMcIlwain,
a housing expert at the Ur-
ban Land Institute, a non-
profit group that promotes
sustainable development.
uMature suburbs. The
next ringout frominner sub-
urbs, these communities be-
gan their growth in the
1970s and 1980s and are fill-
ing out: Jefferson County in
the Denver metropolitan
area or Chicagos DuPage. On
the whole, these suburbs
grew the slowest from 2000
to 2010, adding 3.5 million
people, a 7.8%increase.
These are suburbs that
are finished being built
were finished in the 80s and
90s and are not old
enough to be rebuilt, Lang
says. As rail lines begin to
extend into these suburbs,
denser development may
follow and growth may pick
up again, he says.
uEmerging suburbs
and exurbs. Despite the
housing bust and foreclo-
sures that hit new subdivi-
sions the hardest, these
communities along the out-
er ring of suburbia endedthe
decade with phenomenal
growth.
The issue that really
tends to separate growth
more than anything else is
housing affordability and
weather, too, says Wendell
Cox, a principal at Demogra-
phia, a public policy and de-
mographic firm in the St.
Louis area. Places that grew
the strongest were more af-
fordable.
St. Croix, Wisconsins fast-
est-growing county, has be-
come a bedroom communi-
ty to the Minneapolis-St.
Paul metropolitan area in
neighboring Minnesota. Lo-
cated off Interstate 94, the
border county has appealed
to commuters because of its
easy access to the Twin Cit-
ies (12 miles), more moder-
ately priced housing, good
schools and a quaint down-
town in Hudson, the county
seat. It has drawn workers at
St. Paul-basedtechnology gi-
ant 3M.
The county gained more
than 21,000 residents in the
past decade, a 34% increase
to 84,345. The growth
slowed in recent years as St.
Croix felt the recession and
housing bust, says William
Rubin, executive director of
the St. Croix Economic De-
velopment Corp.
Like many other exurban
counties, St. Croix is pushing
to create jobs not just
housing.
Fifty-one percent of our
adult workforce leaves the
county, says Rubin, who is
looking to attract businesses.
How the suburban land-
scape will transform this
decade is up for debate.
Cox, a free-market propo-
nent, calls the return-to-the-
city movement a false
alarm and says, The fact is
that suburbanization will
continue.
McIlwain is not so sure.
Those suburbs stopped
dead in their tracks in 07
and 08, he says. There are
stalled master-planned
communities, vacancies, lots
going vacant. . . . Alot of the
people who move out there
are now unemployed or
have lost their homes.
Its a huge question mark,
particularly for the outer
suburbs.
What will happen when
the economy and housing
construction rebound re-
mains to be seen. Were
watching . . . whether or not
we are at the beginning of
the rethinking of the outer
edge, McIlwain says.
Will it suddenly surge
back or do people really
want to live that far away?

Most U.S. cities with the dirtiest
air are getting cleaner, but about half
of Americans still live in areas where
its often difficult to breathe, the
American Lung Association reports
today.
The groups 12th annual State of
the Air report comes amid congres-
sional efforts to stop the Environ-
mental Protection Agency from us-
ing the Clean Air Act to regulate
greenhouse gas emissions.
Were very pleased to report
great progress, American Lung As-
sociation President Charles Connor
said in announcing the findings,
based on the most recently available
EPA data. Yet he cautioned, Air pol-
lution remains a very real health
threat.
EPAs 2009 data, released last
week, shows total U.S. greenhouse
gas emissions primarily carbon
dioxide fell 6.1% from 2008, the
largest decline in at least five years.
The agency, which began a multi-
year plan to regulate these emis-
sions in January, attributed the drop
to less polluting fuels and lower en-
ergy consumption because of the
recession.
Some improvement in air quality
began prior to the recession, says
Janice Nolen, author of the associa-
tions 2011 report, which credits the
Clean Air Act for the progress.
The report ranks cities, counties
and states for their amount of ozone
or smog as well as particle pollu-
tion such as soot and ash, both of
which can lead to asthma attacks,
emergency room visits and prema-
ture death. It finds:
uAll 25 cities with the worst
ozone pollution improved their air
quality between 2008 and 2009. All
but two with the most year-round
particle pollution also improved, but
only 12 of the 28 with the worst
short-term levels had fewer un-
healthy days.
uHalf of Americans, or 154.5 mil-
lion, live in counties with unhealth-
ful levels of either ozone or particle
pollution.
uHonolulu and Santa Fe ranked
as the twocities withthe cleanest air
overall.
uThe Los Angeles metro area re-
mains the smoggiest, although its
improved significantly in the last
decade. Bakersfield, Calif., has the
worst particle pollution, both on a
daily and annual level.
Withunanimous GOPsupport and
19 Democratic votes, the House of
Representatives passed a bill earlier
this month to prevent the EPA from
regulating greenhouse gases, but the
Democratic-led Senate rejected it.

Ten smoggiest in the USA
Violent storms from a
slow-moving system con-
tinued to batter parts of the
Midwest and South on Tues-
day with powerful torna-
does and heavy rain.
The storm system has
dumped drenching rain on
several states over the past
week, including Arkansas, Il-
linois, Indiana, Kentucky,
Missouri, Mississippi and
Tennessee.
AccuWeather reports that
Cape Girardeau, in south-
eastern Missouri, has re-
ceived more than 16 inches
of rain this month, more
than four times the average
for the month of April.
On Tuesday, at least 100
homes in the East Texas
town of Edom were dam-
aged by storms. In south-
western Michigan, nine peo-
ple went to the hospital, one
with serious injuries, when
lightning struck a park
where children and adults
were playing soccer, police
said.
In Poplar Bluff, Mo., the
levee preventingthe swollen
Black River from inundating
the town cracked in at least
one place Tuesday, but wa-
ter pouring through the
breach was unlikely to force
further evacuations in the
area, authorities said.
On Monday, the Black Riv-
er poured over the levee in
30 places, and about 1,000
homes were evacuated.
Large tornadoes that stay
on the ground longer will
again be a major concern
this afternoon into tonight,
AccuWeather meteorologist
Heather Buchman said.
Areas from central Missis-
sippi and central Alabama
into much of Tennessee,
Kentucky and parts of Indi-
ana and Ohio will lie in the
heart of the risk area today,
with the threat shifting far-
ther east tonight.
Tennessee braced for to-
days expected onslaught.
The National Weather Ser-
vice predicted 4-7 inches of
rain through today.
Weather Service meteo-
rologist Sam Herron said to-
days storms could bring
one of the strongest sys-
tems weve seen this spring
with the potential for flood-
ing and tornadoes.
In northern Arkansas,
roads in Baxter County have
taken a beating over the past
three days frommore than a
foot of rain, prompting Bax-
ter County Judge Joe Boden-
hamer to declare a county-
wide disaster Tuesday be-
cause of flooding. Its a ma-
jor rain event and a major
repair job, he said.
A tornado and floods late
Monday killed 10 people in
Arkansas.
Finally, after the storm
moves off the East Coast on
Thursday, the hardest-hit
areas will get a break from
ThursdaythroughSaturday,
Weather Channel meteorol-
ogist Mark Ressler said.
Unfortunately, after this
short break, he said, another
storm will move across the
central USA by Sunday and
Monday, dumping more rain
and bringing the threat for
severe weather.
Ressler said states such as
Arkansas, Missouri and Ten-
nessee will be the sweet
spot for precipitationandse-
vere storms for at least the
next two weeks.
More than 5,400 severe
weather reports (tornadoes,
hail, and high winds) have
been recorded this month,
according to the Storm Pre-
diction Center in Norman,
Okla. On average, about
3,300 severe weather re-
ports are tallied in an entire
April nationwide.
Weather Channel severe
weather expert Greg Forbes
said April has set a tentative
record with 292 confirmed
tornadoes in the USA, break-
ing the old mark of 267 tor-
nadoes in 1974. An average
April sees 163 tornadoes.

USA TODAY WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27, 2011 WASHINGTON 5A
Attorney General Eric Holder said Tuesday that
the search for a newFBI director is underway, and
that the administration hoped to have Robert
Muellers successor selectedandconfirmedby the
Senate well before his retirement in September.
The goal is to have somebody nominated and
ready to go, Holder told reporters at a Justice
Department briefing. We have to move relatively
soon.
Mueller, the longest-serving FBI director since J.
Edgar Hoover, is scheduled to complete his 10-
year termSept. 4.
Holder declined to elaborate on possible candi-
dates for the job.
Bob is a hard person to replace, Holder said,
referring to Mueller, whose term was defined by
the governments response to the 9/11 terrorist
attacks, which killed nearly 3,000 people in New
York City, Pennsylvania and Virginia.

Union freezes candidate donations
The International Association of Fire Fighters
announced Tuesday that it is freezing donations
to federal candidates and party committees and
will shift its money to fight anti-union efforts in
state legislatures around the country.
The decision could hurt Democrats, who re-
ceived more than 80% of the money donated by
the unions political action committee in 2010s
midtermelections for Congress, according to data
compiled by the non-partisan Center for Respon-
sive Politics. The union said it spent $15 million in
all on federal politics last year.
General President Harold Schaitberger said the
union faces legislative fights, ballot measures and
recall elections that threaten workers rights in at
least nine states. At the same time, the unions
traditional allies in Congress havent aggressively
defended firefighters, he said.
We are simply shutting down any contribu-
tions going to any federal candidates or to any
federal PACs or committees until, quite frankly,
our friends are willing tostandupandfight onour
behalf with the same kind of ferocity that our
enemies and those that are literally trying to
destroy us are doing on the other side, Schait-
berger told USATODAY.
Republican-controlled legislatures in Wiscon-
sinandOhio this year have approvedlaws curtail-
ing collective-bargaining rights for public em-
ployees. Alabama recently ended automatic pay-
roll deductions for union dues.
The firefighters union said it has engaged in
battles in several other states, including Florida,
NewHampshire and Oklahoma.

WASHINGTON Tea Party-backed
freshmen, elected in 2010s anti-estab-
lishment wave, have quickly learned
Washingtons fundraising practices.
More than two-thirds of the newly
elected Republicans in the House Tea
Party Caucus collectedat least a thirdof
their campaign contributions this year
from political action committees and
other political committees, a USA TO-
DAYanalysis shows.
Political action committees, known
as PACs, distribute donations on behalf
of companies, unions and others with
common financial interests. PACs can
donate $5,000 to a congressional mem-
ber for an election double what indi-
viduals can give under federal law.
An awful lot of them certainly have
gotten into the swing of raising money
in Washington, Bill Allison, of the non-
partisan watchdog group Sunlight
Foundation, said of newly elected
members. The best way to get the
attention of a member of Congress is to
donate $5,000 or $10,000 at a clip.
Thats why you see a lot of PAC money
coming into members of Congress.
Some of the new incumbents have
relied heavily on special-interest mon-
ey to build their campaign war chests.
For instance, donations from PACs
made up 92% of total contributions to
the re-election campaign of freshman
Rep. Dennis Ross, R-Fla., during the first
three months of this year, reports filed
this month with the Federal Election
Commission show. Thats in sharp con-
trast to his 2010 campaign, when more
than half of the nearly $1.2 million he
raised came fromindividuals.
We gave our individual donors the
(fundraising) quarter off, Ross said.
We intend to go back to our individual
donors. Weve got 18 months to go
before the next election.
Collecting PAC money is part of the
reality of fundraising, Ross said. I
would love to do a campaign for
$50,000 and be successful, he said.
But the reality is, withmedia costs and
mailing costs, its a very expensive un-
dertaking.
Political action committees are big
players in federal elections. In 2010
races, PACs donated $291 million to
House members of both parties, or
41.2% of their total campaign money,
according to data compiled by the Cen-
ter for Responsive Politics, whichtracks
political fundraising.
In all, 10 of the 14 GOP members
who were elected last year and joined
the Tea Party group led by Rep. Michele
Bachmann, R-Minn., raised 33% or
more of their total contributions so far
this year frompolitical committees, in-
cluding PACs. Six raised more than half
of their money from these groups, in-
cluding Reps. TimHuelskampof Kansas
and Sandy Adams of Florida at 67%
each.
Their aides did not respond to in-
terviewrequests.
South Carolina Rep. Mike Mulvaney
sharply criticized his Democratic oppo-
nent, 14-term congressman John
Spratt, for accepting special-interest
money during the 2010 campaign. This
year, Mulvaney has collected more
than $40,000 from PACs. Overall, PAC
money made up more than half of his
total contributions during the first
three months of the year.
Mulvaney spokesman Bryan Par-
tridge said that the vast majority of
donations since Mulvaney first stood
for office have come from individuals.
Before he joined Congress in January,
only 16% of his campaign money had
come from PACs, according to data
compiled by CQMoneyLine.
Among the PACs donating this year:
the political arm of the National Rural
Electric Cooperative Association, which
represents 930 cooperatives in 47
states. In March, it gave $2,000 to Huel-
skamp and $2,500 to Mulvaney.
Generally, the PAC gives to people
who believe in electric cooperatives
and support electric ooperatives, said
Glenn English, the groups CEO and a
former 10-term congressman from
Oklahoma. We stick with our friends.
Florida Rep. Allen West, one of the
most visible Tea Party freshmen,
bucked the trend.
He raised nearly $434,000 in contri-
butions during the first quarter one
of the biggest fundraising hauls among
new House members. But just 4% of
that money came from PACs or other
political committees, the data show.
Jonathan Blyth, Wests chief of staff,
said thats because the congressmans
message of fiscal restraint is resonating
with average voters.
He talks to the American people as
adults, recognizing that our nation has
monumental problems andmonumen-
tal challenges, Blyth said. Hes stand-
ing up and telling people of his district
and of the United States that changes
need to be made in Washington.

Although Rep. Ron Pauls
message of reducing federal
spending and the debt has
caught on throughout the Re-
publican Party, his challenge as
he begins to explore a third run
for the presidency is to appeal to
Tea Party supporters, who share
his ends but have not adopted
himas their standard-bearer.
Paul announced an explor-
atory committee Tuesday to be-
gin pursuing whether he will
launch a third campaign for
president. He told a small group
assembledina Des Moines hotel
that he was ready to continue to
again promote his small-gov-
ernment platform and would
make a final decision about
whether to run in May, accord-
ing to news media reports.
The Texas Republicans mes-
sage of reducing federal spend-
ing and the debt has caught on
increasingly among conserva-
tives, especially in the Tea Party
movement that helped elect his
son Rand to the Senate last fall.
But the elder Paul has yet to see
that support register at the polls.
Leaders of various national
Tea Party groups offered a mix
of explanations as to why Pauls
message hadnt caught on
among those in their ranks.
JudsonPhillips, founder of Tea
Party Nation, said Paul was
aheadof the curve onthe issue
of curbing government spend-
ing, but his views on foreign
policy were unacceptable to
many of those affiliatedwiththe
movement.
Some of his ideas are good
. . . not the least of which is the
out-of-control spending, Phil-
lips said. He wants to practice
isolationism and, Im sorry, but
when you have Iran and North
Korea that have intercontinental
ballistic missiles that can arrive
in the United States in 20 min-
utes or less, isolationism is
dead.
Amy Kremer, chairwoman of
Tea Party Express, said Pauls
record on earmarks he sup-
ports them because of his belief
that the executive branch
should not have sole control of
taxpayer funds could be an
issue among Tea Party sup-
porters but said his presence in
the field would be welcomed.
If Paul decides to proceed
with his bid, he will likely be a
fundraising powerhouse.
During the 2008 campaign,
Paul stunned political observers
with his ability to bag huge
sums of money throughInternet
fundraising. In one 2007 mon-
ey bomb a concentrated
fundraising effort over a small
amount of time Paul raised
more than$6 millioninone day.
Despite his fundraising abil-
ities and loyal band of sup-
porters, Paul finished a distant
fourth behind Arizona Sen. John
McCain, former Massachusetts
governor Mitt Romney and for-
mer Arkansas governor Mike
Huckabeeinthe2008campaign.
Paul won 24 delegates during
the primaries, according to an
Associated Press tally.
In a recent Gallup Poll, Paul
was tied with former House
speaker Newt Gingrich with 6%
of support fromRepublicans.

WASHINGTON One day after Republican
House Speaker JohnBoehner suggested that Con-
gress ought to take a look at long-standing tax
breaks for oil companies, President Obama on
Tuesday called on Congress to immediately re-
peal anestimated$4billiona year inunwarrant-
ed breaks for the profitable industry.
Obama called for eliminating the subsidies ear-
lier this year in his 2012 budget proposal to
Congress. White House press secretary Jay Car-
ney said the president issued the urgent call to
congressional leaders after Boehner told ABC
News onMonday night that oil companies ought
to be paying their fair share.
Boehner felt differently Tuesday, joining other
GOP leaders and oil industry officials in denounc-
ing the idea. Obamas proposal would simply
raise taxes and increase the price at the pump,
Boehner spokesman Brendan Buck said Tuesday.
This is a proposal born of desperation that
would do nothing to reduce gasoline prices, said
American Petroleum Institute chief economist
John Felmy. It would reduce investment in new
oil and natural gas projects, cost new jobs and
decrease oil and natural gas production.
Obama acknowledged in a letter to congres-
sional leaders that there is no silver bullet to
address rising gas prices in the short term, but
eliminating the subsidies and investing in clean
energy could help reduce the nations depen-
dence on foreign oil and prevent future spikes at
the pump. He added that the USA can no longer
afford these wasteful subsidies.
Oil companies have staved off efforts to end
their subsidies for years. The issue has gained
political currency recently with budget watchdog
groups and even the presidents own bipartisan
fiscal commission arguing for changes to the tax
code to boost revenues.
Republicans argued that the costs of eliminat-
ing the subsidies could be passed on. Senate
Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said
Obama was simply returning again and again to
tax hikes that increase consumers costs.

WASHINGTON Chief Jus-
tice John Roberts voiced the
crux of his concern about Ver-
monts limit on prescription-
drug data mining early in Tues-
days Supreme Court argu-
ments.
You want to lower your
health care costs, he told Ver-
mont Assistant Attorney Gener-
al Bridget Asay, not by direct
regulation, but by restricting the
flow of information to the doc-
tors by . . . censoring what they
can hear so they are not in-
duced to prescribe brand name
drugs over generics.
Roberts and other conserva-
tive justices, including Anthony
Kennedy, expressed skepticism
for the law that prohibits phar-
macies fromselling prescription
information for drug-marketing
purposes without the prescrib-
ing physicians consent.
Vermont is appealing a deci-
sion that said the law infringes
on free commercial speech. The
state says it wants to protect the
physician-patient relationship
and make sure drug companies
do not use inside information
to discern physicians prescrib-
ing habits and steer them to-
ward more expensive drugs.
The four more-liberal mem-
bers of the nine-justice court
were not as dubious of the
states position, yet none
strongly endorsed it.
The case, involving prescrip-
tion records that data collectors
such as IMS Health buy from
pharmacists and then sell to
drug manufacturers, comes at a
time of national concern about
medical privacy and escalating
healthcare costs. The records do
not reveal patient names but
include the physicians name
and drug doses, which let phar-
maceutical companies track the
illnesses physicians treat and
their prescribing patterns.
Vermont says drug salespeo-
ple use the data to target physi-
cians for new, costly products.
Drug companies would cer-
tainly like to have this informa-
tion for marketing, Asay said,
but they have no First Amend-
ment right to demand it, just as
they have no right to . . . the
doctors tax returns.
Representing IMS Health,
Thomas Goldsteinsaid Vermont
discriminated. Theyre trying
to say: We would like the drug
companies to have a harder
time finding the doctors, while
the insurance companies and
the state have aneasy time find-
ing the doctors, he said.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
observed that patients already
are protected under federal pri-
vacy law, yet she added, The
question is whether the physi-
cian should be as well.
Aruling inthe case is likely by
late June.

Iraqs prime minister said Tuesday that his
country does not need U.S. forces to protect its
internal security but acknowledged that the
country still does not have the money or training
to protect its borders.
Prime Minister Nouri al-Malikis comments
come as the country is struggling to decide
whether to ask Americantroops to stay past their
expected Dec. 31 departure date.
According to an agreement signed in 2008, all
of the roughly 47,000 U.S. forces must be out of
Iraq by Dec. 31. A streamof Americans, including
Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and the chair-
man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Adm. Michael
Mullen, have visited Iraq in recent weeks carry-
ing the message that time is running out for Iraq
to ask the U.S. to stay longer.
France, Italy increase pressure on Syria
France and Italy called on Syrias president to
stopfiring onhis people, while the Britishforeign
secretary called for international sanctions if
President Bashar Assad does not start imple-
menting changes.
The White House also stepped up its con-
demnation of Assads regime but stopped short
of demanding his ouster. The Obama administra-
tion has begun drawing up targeted sanctions
against Assad, his family and his inner circle to
boost pressure on themto halt the repression.
British Foreign Secretary William Hague said
Britain was working with other members of the
United Nations Security Council to send a strong
signal totheSyrianauthorities but warnedsome
nations at the U.N. are likely to oppose any
punitive action.

SANAA, Yemen Yemens politi-
cal opposition accepted a deal Tues-
day that would see President Ali
Abdullah Saleh step down in 30
days, bringing to an end the coun-
trys three-month-long crisis.
The long-term success of the
agreement remained in doubt as an-
ti-government activists vowed to in-
tensify demonstrations.
Mohammed Salem Basendwah,
chairman of the six-party coalition
of opposition the Joint Meeting
Parties (JMP) confirmed their ac-
ceptance of the deal three days after
Saleh pledged his agreement to the
proposal that would grant him im-
munity from prosecution. It was
brokered by the Gulf Cooperation
Council (GCC).
The Basendwah said the deal had
not been accepted unconditionally
and remained cautious.
There will be no more negotia-
tions, but we will have to decide
later on many things, he said.
Under the GCC plan, the current
parliament would pass a law grant-
ing Saleh, his family and aides, im-
munity from prosecution. Seven
days after bothsides have signed the
deal an interim government, split
equally between Salehs ruling Gen-
eral Peoples Congress party and op-
position groups, would be formed to
oversee election preparations. Once
immunity is assured, and within 30
days, Saleh would resign and hand
over authority to his vice president.
Sixty days after the transition of
power, elections would be held.
We (the JMP) might take part in
the interimgovernment or we might
do so after the president has left. . . .
That we will have to decide, Ba-
sendwah said.
The aim of the GCC initiative,
backedby the USAandthe European
Union, was toresolve unrest that has
swept across Yemen since January.
Despitetheacceptanceof thedeal by
both political sides, the plan falls
short of the expectations of protes-
ters, who rejected the proposal.
Ali Saleh should resign immedi-
ately . . . and be prosecuted for all
his crimes of thievery, incitement,
corruption and murder, the youth
revolution council said. Spokesman
Jamal Nasser described the JMPs
decision as political suicide.
Unconvinced by the GCC plan,
protesters continued to demon-
strate. Rooftop snipers fired on
marching activists, killing one in the
highland city of Taiz and wounding
eight in the port of Hodeida. Tues-
days violence followedthe deaths of
three activists, shot dead in clashes
withsecurity forces andplainclothes
government loyalists Monday.
Every day is the same now, Ab-
dul Akram said in Taiz. We march,
they shoot at us but we will not
stop, whatever the JMP and Saleh
have agreed.

ABOARD THE RED STAR 1
Libyan government forces
on Tuesday bombarded the
port of Misrata in a virtually
non-stop assault on the sole
lifeline of a battered pop-
ulation that has been under
siege for the past two
months.
While forces loyal to
Moammar Gadhafi pulled
out of the city over the
weekend under pressure
from NATO airstrikes, they
have since unleasheda with-
ering rocket and mortar bar-
rage on Misrata that has
killed dozens.
The bombardment Tues-
day was constant through-
out the afternoon and into
the evening, and loud explo-
sions could be heard thun-
deringacross the city. It was
horrific, like a scene from
World War II, said resident
Saddoun el-Misurati, who
was waiting to evacuate his
mother from the port when
the rockets began to fall. I
stopped counting after
nine.
Hundreds of residents, in-
cluding migrant African la-
borers, had been waiting at
the port for the expected af-
ternoon arrival of the Red
Star 1, an Albanian ship
chartered by the Interna-
tional Organization of Mi-
gration to evacuate people
fromthe besieged city.
The crowd gathered on
the docks scrambled for cov-
er when the rockets began
falling, hiding in cars and
shipping crates or just flee-
ing the area, el-Misurati said.
Even after sundown, Gadha-
fis forces continued to shell
the port.
Abdullah Abodabbous, a
25-year-old from Benghazi,
said he was trying to leave
on a small, previously ar-
ranged vessel when a bar-
rage of at least 10 Grad rock-
ets slammed into the port
around9p.m., forcing himto
hide under a table in offices
near the main entrance.
The battle for Misrata,
whichhas claimed hundreds
of lives in the past two
months, has become the fo-
cal point of the armed rebel-
lion against Gadhafi since
fighting on the eastern front
near the city of Ajdabiya is
deadlocked.
Video of Misrata civilians
beingkilledandwoundedby
Gadhafis heavy weapons,
including Grad rockets and
tank shells, have spurred
calls for more forceful inter-
national intervention to stop
the bloodshed.
The Libyan government
has denied that it engages in
indiscriminate shelling of ci-
vilian population centers.
It is precisely to protect
civilians that NATOlaunched
it air campaign March 19.
The rebels receivedanoth-
er boost Tuesday when the
Obama administration said
it has eased its sanctions on
Libya to allow for the sale of
oil controlled by the opposi-
tion.
The move will allow the
rebel forces to use the in-
come from oil sales to pur-
chase weapons and other
supplies.

USA TODAY WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27, 2011 WORLD 7A
BEIJING With country mu-
sic and cowgirls as a backdrop,
American rodeo promoter Rich-
ard Tucker told Chinese officials
this week that the bull riding
and broncobusting hes bringing
to the Birds Nest stadiumwill
show the common values that
will create greater understand-
ing and harmony between our
cultures.
It is the values that China and
the United States disagree on
that will be on display today at
the start of the U.S.-China Hu-
man Rights Dialogue.
The talks take place during a
Chinese crackdown on dissent
and the mass detention of activ-
ists that human rights groups
have called the worst in years.
Led by Michael Posner, assistant
secretary of State for Democra-
cy, HumanRights andLabor, U.S.
officials from several agencies
will meet Chinese counterparts
to discuss the recent negative
trend and broader human
rights issues, the State Depart-
ment said last week.
Economic andcultural ties be-
tween the U.S. and China have
boomed in recent decades, as
the ruling Communist Party
opened China to the world and
its economy to market forces.
But different perceptions of hu-
man rights in Washington and
Beijing continue to trouble rela-
tions. This month, both nations
issued reports critical of the oth-
ers human rights situation.
Chinese President Hu Jintao
acknowledged the universality
of human rights and said that a
lot still needs to be done in Chi-
na, during his January state vis-
it to the United States.
We also need to take into
account the different and na-
tional circumstances when it
comes to the universal value of
human rights, said Hu, repeat-
ing Beijings standard response
to outside criticism.
As Chinas crackdown has in-
tensified amid fears of Arab-
style protests, the U.S. ambassa-
dor to China has grown more
outspoken on rights issues. The
United States will continue to
champion respect for universal
human rights, which is a funda-
mental extension of the Amer-
icanexperience anda bedrockof
our world view, Jon Huntsman
said April 6 in his last public
speech before leaving office this
Saturday.
Officially, China maintains the
West has got it wrong.
Pitifully, the Western coun-
tries hold a different view of
Chinas human rights despite
the countrys actual conditions
and its peoples attitudes,
wrote Dong Yunhu, vice presi-
dent of the China Society for
Human Rights Studies, in its No-
vember journal. The West
thinks human rights are only
individual rights, while China
thinks human rights are not just
individual rights but contain
collective rights, such as the
right of national independence,
and the rights to subsistence
and development.
The different emphasis ex-
plains Chinas focus on promot-
ing major achievements such as
poverty reduction, but plenty of
work remains, scholars say.
I welcome the dialogue as it
makes both parties take human
rights moreseriously, saidYang
Songcai, a researcher at Guangz-
hou University in south China.
Chinas Ministry of Education
recently approved Guangzhou
and two other universities to
establish national-level human
rights education and training
bases.
The government is putting
more money into this, said
Yang, who will offer rights train-
ing to law enforcement officers,
and is completing a human
rights manual for Chinese po-
lice.
Despite Chinas often-stated
commitment to the rule of law,
Beijing resident Wang Ling says
she has seen little evidence of
any legal system in the two
months since her husband,
rights lawyer Teng Biao, was de-
tained.
I have received no informa-
tion or notification at all. He is a
legal scholar who does legal
cases that help both the country
and the people. What they are
doing is illegal and disobeys the
rules of human rights, said
Wang, 38.
More than a dozen nations
have heldbilateral humanrights
talks with China, but all have
been weak because they lack
benchmarks, and have no public
disclosure of goals, said Sharon
Hom, executive director of Hu-
man Rights in China based in
NewYork.
The (UnitedStates) andother
governments need to raise indi-
vidual cases publicly and get
public answers, and highlight
broader issues such as Chinas
restrictive Internet policy,
whichaffects all humanrights,
Homsaid.
Wang Ling hopes U.S. officials
will raise her husbands disap-
pearance at todays meeting in
Beijing.
Another detained lawyer,
Jiang Tianyong, was released
last week, without explanation.
I want them to let him come
home, said Wang of Teng Biao,
38. Our daughters (3 and 5
years old) miss himvery much.
While the Chinese govern-
ment is likely to maintain its
traditional stance on human
rights at the meeting, academics
and the wider public hold di-
verse views on what standards
should apply here, said Ban
Wenzhan, a human rights re-
searcher at the China University
of Political Science and Law in
Beijing.
Some people stress universal
standards, and others empha-
size the real challenges China
faces, he said.
The fundamental question is
our overall culture. If China can
change its cultural attitude to
human rights, and better appre-
ciate their importance, then
changes to our system and laws
will follow, Ban said, but its a
long-termprocess.

Tightening their grip: Chinese police officers detain a man Feb. 27 in Shanghai. In the wake of the
Mideast revolutions, calls for pro-democracy protests in China prompted a sweeping crackdown.
Some prominent Chinese dissidents:
Ai Weiwei
Ai, 53, an artist and activist whose provocative
work has been exhibited worldwide, is Chinas
most high-profile detainee in the crackdown on
dissent since February. Seized April 3 at a Beijing
airport, Ai is being investigated for unspecified
economic crimes. He is likely to have been
targeted for his criticismof the government on
issues such as the poorly constructed schools that
killed many children in the 2008 Sichuan earth-
quake. Married, and has son.
Teng Biao
Teng, 38, is among the most prominent of
Chinas 50 or so human rights lawyers, the at-
torneys who take on the most sensitive cases
without fear of the consequences. Teng was
arrested in Beijing on Feb. 19.
His family says they have received no official
notice of his arrest or any charge. He is likely to
have been targeted for his legal defending of
sensitive clients such as dissidents or members
of the banned spiritual group Falungong. Married,
with two daughters.
Ran Yunfei
An outspoken blogger, Ran, 46, is a writer
based in Chengdu, southwest China. Detained on
February 20, and later charged with inciting
subversion of state power, the same charge on
which dissident writer Liu Xiaobo was jailed in
2009 for 11 years. In 2008, Ran signed Charter 08,
the pro-democracy manifesto Liu co-wrote, and
in 2010 Ran boldly congratulated Lius Nobel
Peace Prize win. Likely to have been targeted for
mentioning the recent Arab revolts, and Chinas
phantomJasmine Rallies, on his Twitter ac-
count or blog. Married, with one daughter.

He was the first non-Italian pope in 450 years.
He travelled 725,000 miles as pope. He swept

The earliest-ever
Beatification of a Pope
The church is cautious about declaring someone a
saint. Its a methodical, step-by-step process that
can take 100 years or more.
So when it was announced that Pope John Paul II
would be beatified in 2011just six years after his
deathtears of joy flowed down the cheeks of his
ardent admirers.
Beatification is just one step away fromsainthood.
John Paul IIs beatification is the earliest for any
pope in the 2,000 year history of the church.
AStunning GoldTribute
Gold is one of the most coveted of the precious
metals, and for hundreds of years saints have been
depicted with golden halos and garments. Its an
indication of profound sanctity.
In keeping with this tradition, this 2011
Beatification of John Paul II commemorative
proof is minted in 99.9%pure gold. It portrays a
contemplative John Paul II in frosted relief against
a deeply-mirrored background, and is a stunning
tribute to his life and work.
One billion Catholics will want this
coinfewer than 15,000 can get one!
Of course, a coin of this significance honoring John
Paul II and struck in 99.9%gold is certain to be in
high demand worldwide.
But when you add in its lowmintage of 15,000 and
its reasonable costunder $70a rapid sellout is

Letters
In USA TODAYs opinion, a bill (which was
defeated in the Senate last year) requiring
states to recognize carry permits issued by
others would have forced urbanized states
dealing with gangs, drug lords and other vio-
lent criminals to essentially adopt gun rights
deemed appropriate in more rural states
(State firearms laws are taking a radical, dan-
gerous turn, Our view, Gun rights debate,
Monday).
If anyone truly thinks that gun laws keep
guns from criminals, theyre
idiots. Criminals dont go to a
gun store to get a gun.
Those of us who carry by
and large live by the credo
that its better to have some-
thing and not need it, than to
need it and not have it.
For the liberals among us
this topic is very simple: If
you dont like guns, dont buy
one or carry one. Call the po-
lice when you have an in-
truder inyour house or when
youre getting mugged in the
grocery store parking lot.

Reasonable limits
Even for a gun owner, such
as I am, with a permit to
carry, the current movement to have guns
everywhere carried by anybody is danger-
ously nutty.
Opposing view writer Erich Pratt of Gun
Owners of America presents two cases in
defense of this madness (Guns save lives.
Period, Monday). A student who was raped
on campus thinks she would have not have
been, had she been packing. In the other case,
a mother wielding a handgun saved her
daughter in their own home.
Is this the best argument for letting anyone
carry a concealed gun anywhere?
David Batchelder
Isle of Palms, S.C.
Aradical point of view?
USA TODAYs editorial State firearms laws
are taking a radical, dangerous turn appears
to be internally inconsistent.
It states, Gun rights activists
. . . push forward with an
agenda that ranges fromrad-
ical to idiotic. Later, it states,
The gun lobby is also going
after the two states (Wiscon-
sin and Illinois) that do not
allowconcealed firearms.
If the universe of gun own-
ers pursuits spans from rad-
ical to idiotic, then what is it
about the proposed con-
cealed carry bills in
Wisconsin and Illinois that is
radical or idiotic? A radical
agenda or activity is extreme
and outside of accepted
norms. Yet those two states
are the only ones without
some formof legal allowance
for concealed carry.
Moreover, estimates put
the number of Americans licensed to carry
defensive arms at more than 6 million.
Radical is something legal in 48 states and
practiced by 6 million citizens? I dont think
so. Radical is the anomaly that Illinois and
Wisconsin still prohibit the concealed carry of
firearms for defense and safety.

USA should cut back
its support of Iraq
USA TODAYs article about the doubling of
electric capacity inIraq clearly buried the lead.
Far more salient to U.S. taxpayers was the
reporting that we have spent $4.6 billion since
our invasion in restoring the countrys elec-
tricity (Electric capacity doubles in Iraq,
News, Thursday).
To make matters worse, the piece reports
that Iraqi crude oil production has increased
26%since 2003 and that the Iraq economy will
grow by 9.65% this year. It seems incompre-
hensible to me that in the midst of all of our
legislative free-for-alls about government cut-
backs andflaggingrevenues, therewas never a
mention of one pro-
gram that could easi-
ly be eliminated
without any pain to
any American citizen
the Iraqi electrical
grid. Nor was there
any mention about
the possibility of re-
imbursement to us
for all of the billions
of dollars we have
squandered in Iraq without even marginally
enhancing our national security. Also, werent
we promised at the start of Operation Iraqi
Freedomthat the oil revenues fromthis coun-
try would reimburse us?
In case no one is paying attention to our
stagnant economy, burgeoning debt crisis, and
entitlement programs on an unsustainable
arc, we need to focus on constraining the use
of our resources within our borders and stop
stumbling into more money pits like Libya.
The freedom of Iraqis had nothing to do with
our national security.
Howabout anoperationconductedwiththe
welfare of Americans in mind? We can call it
Operation American Solvency.

Focus on real contenders
Donald Trumps pseudo campaign will end
with him revealing himself to be a modern-
day pied piper (Trumps pandering revives
nations dumbest political fight, Our view,
Birthers debate, Thursday).
Also, there are two reasons why Trump will
not run: He will never spend $600 million of
his own money (even if he has it), and he will
never disclose the complex, convolutednature
of his financial history.
Get onwiththe serious business of the 2012
campaign.

Treat schools equally
Commentary writer Katrina Trinkos Forum
piece on school vouchers avoided a significant
issue. If private and parochial schools want to
participate in a public, tax-dollar-funded
voucher program, then the playing field must
be leveled (Why school vouchers are worth a
shot, April 19).
Private and parochial schools continue to
enjoy the privilege of limiting and denying
admission to their schools. What school
wouldnt have improved graduation rates
when the academically challenged or behav-
iorally challenged students can be kept out?
Heres the deal: If you want public voucher
money, then you take everyone who applies,
just as the public schools have to take all
students who live in their districts. If your
private/parochial school has a capacity for 500
students, and 700 apply, then guess what
you have 700 students. Deal with it. Public
schools have had to do that for decades.
After a couple of years of playing by the
same rules, then lets compare test scores and
graduation rates. The results could be very
interesting.

Our commitment to accuracy
By Walt Handelsman, Newsday, NewYork
Like many 14-year-olds, Jacob Snakenberg
dreamed of making it to the NFL. But on Sept. 18,
2004, during a freshman game at Grandview High
School outside Denver, Jake collapsed. There wasn't
during the game any significant hit that you would
go, Wow that's a bell-ringer, his mother told
Denvers KUSA-TV.
But it doesn't take a bell-ringer for a concussion to
bedeadly. Adaylater, Snakenburgdiedfromsecond
impact syndrome. He hadfelt tingling inhis hands a
week earlier and was taken out of that game. The
first concussion allowed a second, perhaps minor,
blowto his young developing brain to kill him.
Football is a game of violence and risk, but no one
least of all a teenager should die playing a game.
Or suffer permanent brain damage. Or live with the
long-term impact of
repeated concussions.
This spring, Colora-
do and a handful of
other states have
woken up to those
dangers and passed
laws mandating that
players withsuspectedconcussions be bencheduntil
cleared by a medical professional.
The most effective laws also require education
about concussions for coaches, athletes and parents
withparents signing aninformedconsent before
their child can play. New laws in Alaska, Iowa,
Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico and South
Dakota meet those goals, according to the National
Athletic Trainers Association.
The problem is that more than 40 states in-
cluding many where football is king are ignoring
the issue or passing limp measures that might make
lawmakers feel good but won't do much for the
1.2 million students who play high school football.
In Idaho, for example, a measure with strict man-
dates was whittled back last year to require merely
that schools develop educational materials. Some
legislatures, such as Californias, have even balked at
requiring more meaningful education for coaches.
Such indifference borders on negligence. An aver-
age 64,000 high school football players suffered
concussions each school year from 2005 through
2008, according to Dawn Comstock of the Center for
Injury Research and Policy in Columbus, Ohio. More
than 35% returned to play too soon, under well-
accepted medical guidelines, and 16% who lost con-
sciousness were allowed back on the field the same
day. Presumably, somebody noticed that those boys
wereknockedcold. Thoseinchargeignoredtheperil.
High school football already has rules touting
some of the same concussion guidelines that the
state laws would mandate. But something is getting
lost between the rule book and the playing field. No
less an authority than the NFL thinks tough state
laws will help. The league should know. After years
of all but ignoring concussions andthe collisions that
cause them, the NFL recently put stricter medical
clearance rules and stronger sanctions in place to
reduce the problem.
Thursday, when teams begin choosing their next
class of players intheNFL draft, will bea goodtimeto
remember that from the pros down to the peewee
leagues, the dangers of the game cant be ignored.
.
OUR VIEW
Yet states either
ignore the issue or
pass weak limits
Today's debate: Sports safety
Who needs concussion laws?
1.2 million young football players
By Mel Evans, AP
No child's play: About 64,000 high school football
players suffer concussions each school year.
Former British prime minister Harold Macmillan
said, To be alive at all involves some risk. Yet, some
lawmakers on this side of the Atlantic want to
remove all risks for high school athletes through
restrictive legislation, with concussions being the
flavor of the month.
Concussion legisla-
tion in some states is
so restrictive that a
student athlete sus-
pected of having a
concussion is required
to be pulled froma game, examined by a doctor and
receive written permission to return to practice or a
game. This could be problematic in rural states such
as Idaho, where the nearest licensed physician could
be more than an hour away.
Last year, in lieu of creating a restrictive concus-
sion law, Idaho lawmakers opted for a statewide
educational campaign for coaches, trainers and par-
ents.In some states, high school athletes are trained
to avoid head injuries through proper tackling tech-
niques.
Improved safety equipment is reducing the num-
ber of concussions as well. In the past four years,
some manufacturers have changed their helmet de-
signs withconcussionreductioninmind. Air bag-like
cushioning is replacing traditional helmet foam.
Although serious in nature, concussions represent
a tiny fractionof the estimated2millioninjuries that
high school athletes sustain each year. Crafting state
laws aimedat protecting young athletes fromspecif-
ic injuries sets a disturbing precedent.
At what point do decision-makers decide the risk
of injury outweighs the benefit of healthy athletic
competition? Consider what happened this month
in New York, where state health officials attempted
to cross that line by labeling Wiffle ball, kickball and
tagas activities that posea significant riskof injury.
Until these bureaucrats backed off after a state
senator called for a delay in the proposed regulation
this move would have required summer camps to
pay a fee and have medical equipment and staff on
hand to treat possible injuries.
Youthathletes have always beenat risk of sustain-
ing injuries, including concussions. Education and
improvedsafety equipment are paramount at reduc-
ing this risk.

House of Representatives; Brent Crane is vice chair-
man of the Idaho House State Affairs Committee.

IRAQ IRAQ
Los Angeles Times, editorial: For
the first time since the 1959 revo-
lution, the government would al-
low Cubans to own and sell
houses and cars. Taxis, barber-
shops, restaurants and other pri-
vately run businesses would be
allowed to expand and hire. . . . At
the same time, (Cuban President Raul Castro)
named two aging Communist Party hard-liners to
help him implement them. . . . Any changes that
might improve the lives of the Cuban people are
welcome. But it's hard to imagine how successful
such reforms will be if left to a party leadership
that has spent much of the last 50 years defending
a bankrupt ideology.
Peter Morici, column, The Baltimore Sun:
When gas prices spike in the wake of Middle East
turmoil or hurricanes, conspiracy theories abound
about profiteering speculators. The truth is Amer-
icans are suffering from bad energy polices. . . .
Americans could have it another way. . . . Prudent
emphasis onmore fuel efficient vehicles not just
wiz bang electrics and hybrids could cut domes-
tic fuel consumption. . . . More domestically pro-
duced oil would not add to environmental prob-
lems those have to be managed whether oil is
produced inthe United States or imported. Indeed,
greater reliance ondomestic oil wouldbe kinder to
the environment because U.S. policymakers are
better able to require safe production methods at
home than abroad.

growin early adulthood, as I traveled from
one country and one conflict to another in
the pursuit of news. Obama was born to it,
the child of a Kansan and a Kenyan, who
later lived abroad with his mother and
Indonesian stepfather.
Obamas cosmopolitan childhood
helpedmake himif not the first thenone of
very fewU.S. presidents able to walk com-
fortably in the other guys shoes. This en-
ables him to see events through the other
guys eyes, as well as through those of an
American.
The Muslimtightrope
With this huge advantage, he is able to
recognize the contradictory attitudes
many Muslims hold toward Americans:
They want us to help them, at least some-
times, but they do not want to feel the
humiliation of being dependent on us for
survival.
Obamas insights were apparent in his
carefully calibratedresponse to the current
rebellion in Libya. If he ordered U.S. forces
to lead the charge for the ragtag rebels, it
would be only a question of time before all
Libyans, rebel and loyalist, would come to
despise the United States. This is what
transpired first in Iraq and then in Afghani-
stan: You go in, you fight another peoples
war for them, you hand them a country
remade in your image. And they hate you
for it.
In the longer run, Obamas understand-
ing of the Muslimanomaly likely will work
to the advantage of the United States by
dulling the edge of our anti-Islam rep-
utation. We should embrace it fully.
Unfortunately, his international world-
view infuriates those of us, primarily on
the far right, who consider it somehow
un-American for our president to accom-
modate other cultures, say, to speak their
language or to greet their sovereign with a
respectful bow.
Some of the same voices call Obama a
weakling for ceding leadership in Libya to
NATO. For these Americans, the struggle in
Libya and Iraq and Afghanistan is not
about thembut about us.
Everything, it seems, must be about us:
Most recently, for example, less than 72
hours after the March earthquake and nu-
clear plant explosion in Japan, our mass
news media were reporting fears of
Many Americans, though, still see the
world as their ancestors did, when the U.S.
could bend other nations to its will with
military muscle rather than brainpower.
Obama, with his exceptional (though cer-
tainly not exceptionalist) worldview, real-
izes that all people must be permittedtheir
innate sense of self-respect. In the same
regard, if a people desire freedom, or de-
mocracy, or any other form of governance
for that matter, they must struggle for it
andwinit themselves. Noforeignarmycan
hand it to themand expect it to survive the
test of time.
Yes we can, and arguably should, help
when our best interests and simple human
decency dictate that we do. But those we
help must emerge fromthe conflict believ-
ing that victory was theirs.
What restraint offers
It was clear fromscratchthat putting the
heterogeneous NATO alliance in charge of
the demi-war in the Libyan desert would
be fraught. Unleashing the full weight of
Air Force bombers and sending the U.S.
Marines back to the hallowed shores of
Tripoli doubtless would have achieved the
desired effect, and in much shorter order.
There is no denying that choosing sides
in Libya is the diplomatic equivalent of a
craps shoot. What if Moammar Gadhafi
hangs on and returns to blowing up U.S.
airliners, and the rebels turn against us as
well? It could happen.
But limiting our forces provides us with
absolutely critical cover. Without that re-
straint, the intervention would be per-
ceivedas yet another exampleof U.S. bully-
ing, not only of more Muslims but specifi-
cally of more Arabs in yet another oil-rich
nation. We dont need that.

radiation enveloping the West Coast.
Such an America-centric take on the
world is mistaken and harmful to the Unit-
ed States.
uIt produces precisely the opposite ef-
fect that all Americans, conservative and
liberal, want. It erodes rather than en-
hances our reputation in the world.
uIt feeds the hatred so many non-
Americans have nursed since we inter-
vened in the Vietnamese civil war more
than three decades ago and which peaked
again when we invaded Iraq.
uIt is viewed around the world as naive
at best and, at worst, as prejudiced, reflect-
ingnativist notions of Americanexception-
alism.
One of the first lessons I learned as a
foreign correspondent is that people of all
nationalities consider themselves excep-
tional. Chinas name for itself, zhongguo,
translates as central kingdom, the center
of the world. Even the benighted Bangla-
deshis, for heavens sake, insist that they
live in a golden land.
In the mid-19th century period of gun-
boat diplomacy and spotty communica-
tions, throwing our weight around didnt
have to worry an expansionist United
States. Today, when everyone knows what
everyone else is up to in real time we
must exercise far greater sophistication
and sensitivity.
Obamas America: No bullying
By Lewis M. Simons

Visiting most populous Muslimcountry: President Obama and first lady Michelle
Obama tour a mosque in Jakarta, Indonesia, with ImamAli Mustafa Yaqub last fall.
Is his hands-off
approach in Libya
weak and deferential?
Only if recasting the
U.S. image in a positive
way is a bad thing.
Its possible, but not likely, that
you have no idea Thursday is na-
tional Take Our Daughters and
Sons to Work Day. Youll hear
about it soonenoughfromyour
kids, your office, or both so
please allow me to rudely jump
in. Five reasons not to take your
kids (especially your sons) to
work with you:
1. Because the day is based
ona flawedpremise.
The effort launched by Gloria
Steinem and the Ms. Foundation
began as a take-your-daughters-
to-work day, based on the notion
that girls were falling behind boys
in aspirations. This has not been
true for the past 25 years. Today,
57% of all four-year degrees go to
women as well as 62% of all two-
year degrees. Boys, not
girls, suffer from def-
icits in aspiration.
2. Because adding
boys to the mix
didnt make a flawed
premise correct.
It was generous of
the Take Our Daugh-
ters andSons to Work Foundation
to add boys to the mix in 2003,
but considering the college num-
bers cited above, boys need that
extra day of schooling more than
girls. Boys high school grade
point averages are lower, their
graduation rates are lower, pretty
much everything is lower. Why
make things worse by removing
themfromschool for a day?
May I be candid here? Chances
are, your daughter doesnt need
this day to motivate her to do
anything. And your son is just
angling for a space-out day.
Not your son, you say? Well,
count your blessings. Across the
country, far more sons than
daughters have disengaged from
school. In fact, based on college
graduation statistics, this is a phe-
nomenon in Western countries.
3. Because office workers
lacking kids have to pick up
the slack.
Dont you hate it when the cor-
porate PR person comes around
to take away the parents who
brought their kids to work?
Group activity time! Roughly
translated: Because you dont yet
have a family, chose not to have a
family, or (wisely) chose to keep
your kids in school, you have to
pick up the slack.
Admit it. Moments after you
got assigned the slack-picker-up
task during last years day you
considered writing the IRS to
challenge the tax-exempt status
of this foundation.
4. Because the foundation
publishes activity sheets that
will make you and your kids
dumber thanyour pets.
Take this suggested activity:
Describe what steps are being
taken now to create a safer and
stronger world. This is the kind
of stultifying discussion question
that gives discussion a bad rap.
Especially among boys.
Or this suggested activity: Ex-
plain what you can do now to
improve conservation and cli-
mate control. Heres where your
kidstarts thinking hard
about . . . the promis-
ed snack thats coming.
Chances are, thats
what the parents are
thinking about as well.
5. Because the
foundationis solicit-
ing merchandising
opportunities.
Really, check out the website
daughtersandsonstowork.org. A
sample of gifts: the Light Bulb
Stress Toy, the Mood Cup and the
First Ladies Ruler. If you are feel-
ing disappointed because your
son was counting on a get-out-of-
school excursion, I have a sugges-
tion. Instead, take your son to the
library and return with two books
one for him and the other for
you, so he can see you, as a role
model, reading real words on real
paper (not just online directions
for a video game).
Based on my research, boys
have fallen far behind girls in
reading and writing. Thats hap-
pening at a time when they really
need those skills to handle the
post-secondary education they
need, even for blue-collar jobs.
So do your kids (especially your
sons) a favor. On Thursday, take
your daughters and sons . . . to
school.

Think twice about taking
your child to work
By Richard Whitmire
Bill Bartmann is the only
former gang member and
slaughterhouse worker ever
to make a billion dollars
Whether youre currently employed or not, you might be worrying about
your fnancial situation: Will I be able to keep paying all my bills? How
can I pay for college? Will I have enough to retire? Will I still have a job a
year from now?
In the last recession I went from being $1 million in debt to making more
than a billion dollars. It all started with a very unusual system I created
right from my kitchen table. And with todays recession, Im doing it
again -- only this time Im bringing people like you with me.

On Jan. 27, 1880, less than two years after in-
troducing his tin foil phonograph, Thomas Alva
Edison earned a patent for another bright idea:
the incandescent light bulb.
Rutherford B. Hayes was president of a U.S.
with 38 states and a booming railroad industry that
was starting to replace the horse and buggy.
Edisons 131-year-old bulb still lights homes
worldwide. In an age when
iPhones get revamped every
few months, its longevity
stands out.
Yet its eclipse is coming. The UnitedStates is onthe
verge of a lighting revolution that will oust the
traditional incandescent in favor of more energy
efficient (and less polluting) alternatives. Are
you ready?
On Jan. 1, nationwide, a new federal law
means the 100-watt incandescent will start
disappearing from store shelves. Instead, an expand-
ing line of alternative bulbs will be sold bearing new
nutrition-like labels on
their boxes. The la-

Regulators OK Southwest, AirTran deal
U.S. antitrust regulators cleared the way for
Southwests purchase of AirTran Airways, saying
the combination of two big discount airlines isnt
likely to hurt competition. The Justice Depart-
ment said the airlines overlap on some non-stop
routes, but it decided not to challenge the deal
because competitors can get airport gates and
landing slots on those routes. Southwest plans to
close the $1.4 billion purchase Monday.
Consumer confidence rises in March
The Conference Board said the consumer con-

March. The indexis still far fromthe readingof 90

all-time lowof 25.3 in February
2009. Consumers short-term
outlook improved slightly,
suggesting that the uncertainty

Tuesday markets
NEW YORK In the latest sign
of strength on Wall Street, the
popular indexes that track virtu-
ally every type of U.S. stock blue
chips, big stocks and small ones,
technology names andtransporta-
tion companies are all at fresh
bull market highs after Tuesdays
earnings-driven rally.
Investors continue to buy stocks
despite oil topping $112 a barrel,
the knowledge that a key plank of
the Federal Reserves easy-money
policy is nearing an end, and the
fact that first-quarter growth is
expected to be
slower than in the
last three months
of 2010.
A strong start to
corporate earn-
ings season is
driving the gains.
U.S. companies
are on track to
grow profits for
the ninth straight
quarter. Perhaps
more important,
many CEOs are
shedding the con-
servative view of
the future theyve
had since the
2008 financial cri-
sis and are start-
ing to provide a
steadier stream of upbeat fore-
casts.
Those optimistic assessments
suggest that global demanddriven
by fast-growing emerging mar-
kets remains intact, says Quincy
Krosby, market strategist at Pru-
dential Financial. The overriding
question is if it continues, as cen-
tral banks around the world start
raising interest rates to contain
inflation, she says.
Another big driver has been the
Federal Reserves $600 billion
bond-buying program, dubbed
QE2, which is designed to keep
long-terminterest rates downand
flood markets with cash, adds Pat
Adams, manager of Dunham Loss
Averse Growth fund. QE2 has de-
pressed the value of the dollar and
boosted the value of commodities.
Adams fears stocks will pull back
once the programends in June.
On Tuesday, the Standard &
Poors 500 index, filled with many
of the USAs biggest stocks, and
the tech-dominated Nasdaq com-
posite, joined the blue-chip Dow
in new-high territory for the year.
The Dow now is up 8.8% for 2011,
the Nasdaq 7.3%and the S&P 7.1%.
Investors will closely watch Fed
Chairman Ben Bernanke today
when he meets with the press for
a first-ever Q&A after the Feds
two-day meeting. Wall Street ex-
pects Bernanke to confirm that
QE2 will end in June as scheduled.
But because of high unemploy-
ment and the sluggish economy,
Bernanke isnt expected to stray
fromhis policy of near-zero short-
terminterest rates. Any signs of a
hurry away from accommodative
policy would be a surprise, UBS
economist Maury Harris says.

Investors cheer good
earnings, ignore threats
By AdamShell
USATODAY
Ford Motor reported hefty first-
quarter earnings of $2.6 billion on
Tuesday, driven by buyers appetites
for well-equipped, high-profit ver-
sions of its vehicles and integration
of global operations to speed new
models to market at lower cost.
The profit was Fords seventh-
consecutive quarter in the black,
and beat analysts forecasts.
Ford opened 2011 with a very
solid quarter that should put to rest
investor concerns, especially around
its North American earnings power,
wrote Barclays Capital industry ana-
lyst Brian Johnson in a client note.
A key driver was that buyers are
choosing higher-profit models.
They want the features, the content,
whether its a Fiesta all the way upto
the F-150, CEO Alan Mulally said in
a conference call. On the Fiesta, one
of the most popular options is heated
leather seats. Thats on a Fiesta,
Fords economy subcompact that
starts at about $14,000.
Fords success might strike a casu-
al watcher as sudden, but the auto-
maker has toiled five years to be-
come an overnight sensation. A
large part of it can be explained by a
line used by Carlos Ghosnwhen he
rescued Nissan Motor from
bankruptcyin1999: Theres no
problem at a car company that
product wont solve. Product is in-
dustry shorthand for appealing new
models.
Elements of Fords success in-
clude:
uMortgaging all Fords assets for
$23 billion in 2006 under then-new
CEO Mulally, before credit froze. The
liquidity avoided a detour through
bankruptcy court and paid for new
products and restructuring.
uContinuing product develop-
ment, while Detroit rivals General
Motors and Chrysler delayed or halt-
ed projects, and Japanese power-
houses Toyota and Honda slowed
product cycles to conserve cash.
uRestructuring, in which Mulally
pushed better teamwork, disman-
tled fiefdoms and pushed his One
Ford global-integration plan, in
which one development investment
yields models to sell worldwide.
uPredicting rising U.S. interest in
smaller cars and developing them. If
the forecast is right rising gas
prices cant hurt Ford will be well-
positioned to exploit small-car sales
nowdominated by Asian brands.
uInvesting in advanced engines
with more power and better mileage
so they can be marketed in different
versions to both power-hungry and
mileage-minded buyers.

uTraditional incandescent:
Wastes 90%of its power as

its so hot when in use.
uHalogenincan-
descent: Produces the
same warmlight as a
traditional bulb but
uses 28%less energy.
uCompact fluorescent
lamp(CFL): Uses about 75%
less energy and can last 10
times longer than incan-
descents. Contains a tiny
amount of mercury.
uMercury-free LEDs
(light emitting diodes):
Use at least 75%less energy

than traditional bulbs. They
are expensive, but their

U.S. phases out
traditional incandescents
A 2007 U.S. law, by requiring light bulbs
become at least 25% more energy efficient,
will gradually phase out some traditional
incandescents. In January, manufacturers
will have to produce the light equivalent of
a 100-watt bulb using no more than 72
watts of power. Thomas Edisons bulb wont
meet the standard, but halogen incandes-
cents, CFLs (compact fluorescent lamps)
and LEDs (light emitting diodes) will.

measure of brightness, rather than its wattage, a
measure of energy use. They will also estimate its
yearly energy cost.
This allows consumers tolookat the full price,
not just the purchase price, says
HamptomNewsome, anattorney for
the Federal Trade Commission,
which is requiring the new labels.
People will needtolooktolumens (not watts) for
brightness.
The old 100-watt incandescent, for example,
yields about 1,600lumens, whilethe40-watt bulb
provides about 450lumens. The more lumens, the
brighter the light.
Its a drastic change, says Brad Paulsen, who
buys light bulbs for Home Depot. He says custom-
ers shouldnt worry, though, because theyll still
be able to buy pear-shaped bulbs that provide a
warm, traditional light.
Why the change?
The reason for the switch is the inefficiency of
Edisons invention, whichwastes 90%of its energy
as heat rather than light. Thats why incandes-
cents are so hot when in use and why Australia
and the European Union began phasing themout
in September 2009.
In 2007, the U.S. Congress passed the Energy
Independence and Security Act, requiring light
bulbs to use at least 25% less electricity for the
amount of lumens, or light, produced. So, come
January, manufacturers will have to produce the
equivalent of a 100-watt
bulb using 72 watts of pow-
er.
Edisons bulbs wont meet
the standard, but the mercu-
ry-free halogen incandes-
cent will. So, too, will the
compact fluorescent lamp
(CFL) and the LED (light
emitting diode), each of
which is at least 75% more
efficient.
The bipartisan law, signed
by President George W.
Bush, will also phase out the
traditional 75-watt incan-
descent beginninginJanuary
2013 and the 60-watt and
40-watt versions in January
2014. California is phasing
each out a year earlier. The
law exempts appliance, colored,
three-way and 19 other less common-
ly used incandescent bulbs.
Although halogens, CFLs and LEDs
cost more than the old-fashioned
bulbs, the Department of Energy
(DOE) says customers quickly recoup
the price difference in energy savings.
It says they save about $50 yearly by
replacing 15 traditional incandescents
in their homes,
Oncethestandards arefullyineffect
in 2015, DOE estimates families na-
tionwide will save nearly $6 billion a
year andwill helpeliminate 30million
metric tons of carbon dioxide emis-
sions annually the equivalent of
taking about 8millioncars off the road
each year.
We want consumers tounderstand
the energy waste that comes with
traditional light bulbs, says Jen Stut-
sman, DOE spokeswoman. She says
DOE will work with manufacturers,
retailers and non-profit groups to
launch an education campaign this summer on
the newbulb standards and labels. The campaign
is known as LUMEN, Lighting Understanding for a
More Efficient Nation.
Bulbs get newlabeling
The labels were originally slated to roll out in
July, but the FTC delayed the launchsix months to
give lighting manufacturers more time toprepare.
The companies will need to have their products
independently testedtoverify the packaging data.
The front of the labels will list energy cost and
lumens, which can vary
widely even for bulbs con-
suming the same amount of
energy or wattage. Lumens
already appear on bulb pack-
aging, but consumers often
overlook the fine print.
The back will list the bulbs
expected life span, energy
consumption and its light
appearance, or color, which
is measured on a temper-
ature scale known as Kelvin
(K). Lower Kelvin numbers
mean the light is more yel-
low; higher Kelvin numbers
mean its whiter or bluer.
The traditional incandes-
cent, which gives off a warm,
soft and almost yellowish
light, has a temperature of
about 2,700 to 3,000K similar to
most halogens. LEDs temperatures
range from 3,300 to 5,000K while CFLs
can be quite warm(2,700K), neutral or
cold (6,500K).
For kitchens and workspaces, where
a brighter and whiter light is desired,
look for bulbs marked 3,500 to 4,100K.
For a cooler, bluish light akin to day-
light, good for reading, look for bulbs
with 5,000 to 6,500K.
For CFLs, the back label also notes
that the bulbs contain mercury
which, in high enough doses, can cause
tremors, mood swings, headaches and
insomnia. (CFLs have, on average, 4
milligrams of mercury, while older
thermometers have about 500 milli-
grams.) No mercury is released unless
the bulb breaks. The new label lists a
government website for tips on howto
clean up broken pieces and dispose of
the bulbs. Consumers can easily do so
at home.
Lighting options expand
With the bulb switch looming, the lighting
market has exploded with newoptions.
Halogen incandescents are easier to find. Phil-
ips Lighting has begun selling EcoVantage ones at
Home Depot that are dimmable, mercury-free
and produce a traditional light. A two-pack of its
72-watt bulbs (replacing Edisons 100-watt) re-
tails for about $3. Each bulb, though, costs about
$3.50 a year to operate, while the traditional
incandescent costs $4.80, according to EPA.
Shoppers can now buy dimmable CFLs, which
typically come in a curly Q shape, and shatter-
resistant EcoSmart ones to contain mercury if the
glass breaks. A60-watt equivalent retails at Home
Depot for about $6 and the 100-watt version for
$8.
EPA estimates that an Energy Star CFL, which
canlast 10years, consumes $1.20worthof energy
each year, while an LEDuses even less: $1.00.
The long-term solution will be LEDs, predicts
Home Depots Paulsen, noting theyre mercury-
free and last up to 25 times as long as traditional
incandescents. Paulsen says LED prices are falling
fast.
Most (71%) Americans say they have replaced
traditional incandescents in their home with CFLs
or LEDs, and 84% say they are very satisfied or
satisfied with the alternatives, according to a
USA TODAY survey of 1,016 U.S. adults taken Feb.
15-16.
On Capitol Hill, a group of mostly GOP law-
makers, led by Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, has
proposed a bill to repeal the phaseout. They argue
that the market, not Congress, should decide the
future of Edisons bulb.
It is about personal freedom, Barton said in
announcing his bill. People dont want Congress
dictating what light fixtures they can use.
The repeal effort has almost no chance of
passing, says Steven Nadel, executive director of
the American Council for an Energy-Efficient
Economy, which favors the phaseout. He says
Americans, once they realize the lawdoes not ban
all incandescents or mandate CFLs, support the
2007 law.
Inthe USATODAYsurvey, 61%of Americans call
it a good lawwhile 31%say its bad.
Another poll, taken in February by environ-
mental marketing firm EcoAlign, found two-
thirds of 1,000 U.S. adults questioned say the
phaseout of the traditional incandescent is a good
idea. Yet 60% were unaware of the 2007 law that
mandates it.
Only 36% knew of the legislation, and even
fewer, 19%, knewthe 100-watt Edisonbulbwould
be phased out this January, according to the third
annual socket survey taken in November 2010 by
OsramSylvania, a lighting company.
They (consumers) are going to be over-
whelmed come Jan. 1st, predicts Terry McGo-
wan, of the AmericanLighting Association, a trade
group. There will still be a lot of confusion.
McGowan says he has confidence people will
eventually adjust, adding: My family mastered
an iPhone not long ago.

COVER
STORY
If a fluorescent light bulb breaks in your
home, it can release mercury as vapor until its
cleaned up and removed.
To minimize exposure to mercury vapor, EPA
recommends these steps for cleanup and dis-
posal:
1. Before cleanup
uHave people and pets leave the room.
uAir out the room for five to 10 minutes by
opening a windowor door.
uShut off the central forced-air heating/air
conditioning system, if you have one.
2. During cleanup
uCollect all glass pieces and powder with
stiff paper or cardboard and use sticky tape,
such as duct tape, to pick up remaining frag-
ments. Dont vacuum.
uPlace cleanup materials in a sealable con-
tainer.
3. After cleanup
uPromptly place all bulb debris and cleanup
materials outdoors in a trash container or pro-
tected area until materials can be disposed of
properly.
(Check Earth911.com for a local listing of
disposal sites.)
uIf practical, continue to air out the room
where the bulb was broken and leave the heat-
ing/air conditioning system shut off for several
hours.

Hackers who broke into Sonys PlayStation
Network online service might have stolen
members credit card information, Sony said
Tuesday.
The intrusion, which happened between
April 17 and 19, has resulted in a week-long
systemoutage that couldlast as long as another
week. As many as 75 million users globally use
the network to play
online games to-
gether and down-
load movies, TV epi-
sodes and game de-
mos.
Sony says it will
send an e-mail to all
account holders ad-
vising those who
gave their credit
card information to
either PSN or Sonys
new Qriocity music
system that hackers
may have gotten
their credit card
number and expira-
tion date but not the
cards security code.
While there is no
evidence at this time that credit card data was
taken, we cannot rule out the possibility, Pat-
rick Seybold, senior director of corporate com-
munications and social media, said in a state-
ment on Sonys official PlayStation blog.
An unauthorized person did get users per-
sonal information including birth date and e-
mail addresses, he said. In the wake of the
security breach, PSN members should be alert
for e-mail, telephone and postal mail scams
that ask for personal or sensitive information,
Seybold said.
Users should change the passwords on other
services and accounts that might use the same
user name or password as their PSN account.
We encourage you to remain vigilant, to re-
view your account statements and to monitor
your credit reports, he said.
Consumers should heed Sonys advice, says
Tim Rohrbaugh, vice president of information
security for Intersections, an IDtheft protection
and risk management firmin Chantilly, Va. On
something like a PlayStation or (Internet-con-
nected) TV, you cant use the same password
that you use on your bank account or the
accounts where a lot of damage can happen,
he says.
Some users criticized Sony on social net-
works and forums for not coming forward with
information about the breach sooner. But Rohr-
baugh applauded Sony for a quick response.
The average amount of time it takes for a
company to find an unauthorized access is six
months-plus, he says.
The Sony breach and another earlier this
month at Epsilon, which provides e-mail mar-
keting for 2,500 companies, is a wake-up call
to pay attention to what is going on with your
data, he says.
The outage comes at a bad time for Sony. Hot
titles such as Valve Softwares Portal 2, Warner
Bros. brawler Mortal Kombat and PlayStation 3
exclusive Socom4 all hit stores last week.

Consumers continue to spend billions on over-
draft fees, despite a Federal Reserve regulation
that requires banks to obtain customers permis-
sionbefore signing themupfor overdraft-protec-
tion programs, consumer
advocates say.
Consumers will spend an estimated $38.5 bil-
lion in overdraft penalty fees in 2011, up from
$18.6 billion in 2000, according to a study out
today by the Pew Health Group, the consumer-
product safety armof the PewCharitable Trusts.
Part of the problem is that most banks fail to
adequatelydisclosethecost of different overdraft
options, Pewsaid. For example, the median over-
draft-protection fee is $35, vs. $10 to transfer
funds froma customers savings account to cover
the overdraft, the study said.
Under a Federal Reserve rule adopted last year,
banks are required to obtain customers permis-
sion before charging them fees to cover debit
card or ATMoverdrafts.
Since then, though, banks have used high-
pressure and misleading sales tactics to persuade
consumers to sign up for their overdraft-protec-
tion programs, the Center for Responsible Lend-
ing said Tuesday.
A survey commissioned by the CRL found that
only 33% of consumers have signed up for over-
draft protection. Of those who signed up, 60%
said they wanted to avoid paying a fee if their
debit card was declined at the cash register. In
fact, consumers pay nothing if a debit card pur-
chase is rejected for lack of funds.
The CRLs opt-in numbers are considerably
lower than the results of a survey conducted on
behalf of the American Bankers Association in
August. According to that survey, 46% of bank
customers said they had signed up for overdraft
protection or planned to enroll.
AndrewPlepler, consumer policy executive for
Bank of America, says he wasnt surprised by the
CRLs findings. Bank of America eliminated over-
draft fees on debit cards last summer because
customers saidtheywouldrather havedebit card
purchases declined than pay a fee, he says. Its
very much considered a punitive fee that cus-
tomers do not like.
The Pew study, based on an analysis of more
than 250 checking accounts offered by the USAs
10 largest banks, also concluded that the length
and complexity of most checking account dis-
closures makeit impossible for consumers to
compare account terms and conditions. Nessa
Feddis, senior counsel for the ABA, says banks
have to include a lot of information in contracts
to avoid lawsuits. They could be simpler if we
werent such a litigious society, she says.

U.S. home prices dropped in February,
and further declines are expected.
The Standard & Poors Case-Shiller Home
Price index for 20 large U.S. cities showed
the median price of homes
sold in February down
3.3% from a year earlier and down 1.1%
fromJanuary, S&P said Tuesday.
The index one of the most widely
watched for home prices also indicates
that price declines are becoming more
widespread.
On a seasonally adjusted basis, median
prices fell in February in 14 of the 20 cities
and 55%in San Diego, S&P says.
Foreclosures and tight lending standards
are the chief causes of falling sale prices,
Blitzer and others say.
Last month, 40% of existing home sales
were distressed properties, up from 35% in
March 2010, the National Association of
Realtors says. Distressed properties, includ-
ingforeclosures, typicallysell at about a 20%
discount to non-distressed properties, the
association says.
Meanwhile, tightened lending standards
are making it harder for potential buyers to
get loans, says Mark Goldman, San Diego
State University real estate professor.
One positive is the strong investor in-
terest in homes in some of the hardest-hit
areas, says Mark Zandi, economist with
Moodys Analytics. InMarch, 22%of existing
home buyers were investors, the Realtors
association says. Zandi still expects a 5%
home price drop this year.
drop 5% to 10% this year, up froman earlier
forecast of 5%to 7%.
Capital Economics, too, said Tuesday that
there is a real risk that prices could slide by
more than our current 5% forecast for
2011.
There is very little, if any, good news
about housing, says David Blitzer, chair-
man of S&Ps index committee. Prices con-
tinue to weaken, he says, while trends in
sales and construction are disappointing
even though existing home sales and hous-
ing starts rose in March.
Home prices in the 20 large cities have
now fallen almost 33% from their peak at
the height of the housing boom, S&Psays. In
Atlanta, Cleveland, Las Vegas and Detroit,
home prices are now below their 2000
levels. Phoenix is barely above that level.
Some cities have held onto price gains
since 2000. Prices are up 80% in Washing-
ton, 68% in Los Angeles, 65% in New York
compared with drops in 10 of the 20 cities
in January fromDecember.
Nationally, prices are dropping faster
and farther, than earlier expected, says

al Insight. It now expects home prices to

Theres not much left for Richard Branson to
conquer.
The British entrepreneur, visionary and foun-
der of the Virgin Group, started a record compa-
ny that became one of the worlds biggest. He
launched an airline, Virgin Atlantic, before he
turned 40. Virgin Galactic, one of more than 300
companies under the Virgin umbrella, soon
could become the
worlds first com-
mercial space air-
line.
And, oh yes, hes also been knighted.
Peter Pan is my favorite character, and I dont
really want to grow up, says Branson, 61. Im
just ridiculously lucky and just love to live my
dreams.
The adventurer, who in 1986 sailed across the
Atlantic faster than anyone before and the next
year became the first to cross the Atlantic in a
hot-air balloon, is making space and ocean
depths his latest challenges.
His VirginGalactic companyis developing two
vehicles, SpaceShipTwo and WhiteKnightTwo,
designed to fly tourists into space. Branson plans
to be on the first official trip.
I wouldnt miss the inaugural flight, says
Branson, who plans to be accompanied by his
mother, his two children, and Burt Rutan, the
developer of the spacecraft technology.
He says hes had a desire to break the bounds
of Earth since watching the first moon landing
but says his desire for flight was perhaps fedby a
more personal connection.
I think my mother was once a stewardess
back in the 50s when you had to put an oxygen
mask on to fly over mountains, and I heard a lot
of fairly glamorous stories fromher about flight,
Bransonsays. AndI think that maybe rubbedoff
on me somewhat.
An exciting foray
While Branson calls the foray into space tour-
ism one of the most exciting things weve ever
done, his curiosity alsoextends tothe bottomof
the oceans.
On April 5, he launched Virgin Oceanic, which
has the goal of sending a submarine to the
deepest reaches of the worlds oceans for the
first time to unearth what lives and is buried
there.
What anadventure, to try to go to the bottom
of the seas, he says, noting that scientists be-
lieve most of Earths species have yet to be
discovered because they live miles below the
oceans surface. Wehopetobuildsubmarines in
the future that will create lots of aquanauts,
who can go map out our oceans and map out
valleys and mountains under the seas and dis-
cover new species and discover new wrecks.
They say that theres more gold in ships at the
bottomof the sea thantheres goldinmines left.
While the Virgin Groups companies tackle a
range of interests, a desire to keep searching and
building seems to be the thread that connects
them all. The interesting thing about explora-
tion is . . . you never quite know what youre
going to discover, Branson says.
For all the focus on his adventures, Branson
says hes most gratified by tackling climate and
humanitarian challenges. Among his efforts: the
Carbon War Room, which takes action on cli-
mate change, and The Elders, a group of people
such as Nelson Mandela, Desmond Tutu and
Jimmy Carter who address some of the global
problems in the world using their moral author-
ity.
Launching an airline
Hes not one to shy from an idea some deem
far-fetched. Like when he decided to launch an
airline in the mid-1980s.
I had a record company . . . and I went to . . .
my partner, and I said, Imfed up flying on these
awful airlines, he recalls. You get a lump of
chicken dumped on our laps. We have no enter-
tainment. The cabin crews dont smile. The seats
are horrendous. The lighting is horrible, and I
want to buy a secondhand 747 and start an
airline. And the record company executives
groaned.
And so every time Ive come up with a reason
like that . . . the people running the current
companies want to send me off to a shrink and
have my head seen, he says. His idea became
Virgin Atlantic, launched in 1984.
His advice for young people starting to chart
their professional paths: Dont take no for an
answer. And dont try to start a business because
you think you can make money. Start a business
because you really want to. And do it with a
smile all the time.

SAN FRANCISCO Facebook an-
nounced refinements to its social-net-
working site Tuesday.
The company upgraded its Facebook
Groups feature and unveiled Facebook
Deals, which is de-
signed to let the sites
500 million users easily share their
shopping experiences with one anoth-
er, and save money in the process.
Users can buy the deal with a credit
card, share it or like it.
Deals is making its debut in San
Francisco, San Diego, Austin, Atlanta
and Dallas. (After testing for an un-
specified period, it will become avail-
able in other cities.)
In November, Facebook introduced a
service for check-in deals.
This announcement is all about
bringing people together, says Face-
books Emily White. They candiscover
daily deals through the experiences of
their friends.
The new service might pit Facebook
against Groupon, LivingSocial and Yelp
in a bid to tap into the multibillion-
dollar market for daily deals online.
But Greg Sterling, senior analyst at
Opus Research, sees Facebook Deals
going head-to-head with Googles
emerging Offers service.
Facebook has a huge brand, so this
gets its foot in the door with local
merchants, Sterling said.
Despite its breakneck growth, Face-
book remains on the prowl for ways to
expand its revenuebeyond advertising.
Ads accounted for 93% of its revenue
last year, or $1.9 billion, according to
market researcher eMarketer.
Thats expected to dip to 90% in
2011.
Meanwhile, Facebooks update of
Groups adds its popular Photo albums
and Questions features and greater ad-
ministrative control to limit who joins
groups.
In effect, prospective members re-
quireapproval beforetheyareaddedto
a group.
The tweaks come just six months
after Facebook introduced Groups, a
popular feature that has led to the
creation of about 50 million groups on
the website, where individuals can
gather with those of similar interests
and chat.
Facebook has discovered through in-
ternal research that the most popular
types of groups are for family, friends,
academics, sports and other topics,
such as religion, games and hobbies.
Facebook also unfurled a new social
plug-in the Send button that lets
users share content they discover on
the Internet with specific friends via
messages and groups, rather than on
their Facebook wall.

Aflac is betting a sales manager
fromMinnesota has the voice to
drive the name Aflac into the re-
cesses of your brain and
keep it there.
Daniel McKeague, 36, a
father of three fromHugo,
Minn., beat out 12,500
other contestants to re-
place actor Gilbert Gott-
fried and become the new
voice of the reinsurance
companys duck mascot.
Gottfried voiced Aflacs
duck for U.S. audiences for
11 years but was ousted in
March after making in-
sensitive remarks on
Twitter about the earth-
quake and tsunami in Japan, which
produces about 75%of Aflacs reve-
nue. Aflac soon announced a contest
for Gottfrieds replacement, though
the actor who has long offered a
gentler interpretation of the duck for
Japanese audiences will continue.
McKeague recorded a 30-second
clip at radio station KQRS in Minne-
apolis, where he works, uploaded it
to Aflacs website and
later did a more formal
video audition.
After learning early
Tuesday that he was
selected for the gig,
McKeague said hes
known for doing silly
voices.
Whenever that ad
would come on I would
imitate the duck, and the
kids loved it, said
McKeague, whose chil-
dren are 5, 8 and 11.

NEWYORKStocks jumped to
their highest levels in nearly three
years Tuesday, thanks to signs that
earnings are rising for U.S. companies
and consumers are feeling more confi-
dent about the economy.
The rally continued a historic recov-
ery in the stock market. Stock indexes
have doubled since hitting a 12-year
lowin March 2009.
The fastest bull market since the
1950s has nowerased most of the
losses stemming fromthe financial
crisis.
Investors who bought at the top of
the market in 2007 have nowlost
4.2%, including reinvested dividends.
Analysts predict stocks will continue
to rise if unemployment keeps falling
and global demand leads to more
profit growth.
The Standard and Poors 500 index
the benchmark for most mutual
funds reached its highest level since
June 2008, rising 11.99 points, or 0.9%,
to 1347.24. The DowJones industrial
companies gained nearly 2.0%, the
most of any group.
What were seeing nowis a posi-
tive reinforcement of the fact that
demand is rising around the world
even though rising costs are crimping
some profits, says Quincy Krosby,
strategist at Prudential Financial.
Highlights: Delta Air Lines jumped
99 cents, or 11%, to $9.99 after the
airline reported a loss that was far
smaller than investors had expected.
uCummins gained $8.19 to
$116.39. The engine maker raised its
2011 earnings forecast because of
strong demand.
uUPS rose 66 cents to $74.30 after
raising its outlook for the year.
uFordMotor added 12 cents to
$15.66. The automaker had its best
first-quarter earnings since 1998.
average also marked a newhigh for
the year, rising 115.49 points, or 0.9%,
to 12,595.37.
The Nasdaq composite rose 21.66
points, or 0.8%, to 2847.54. The Russell
2000, the benchmark index of small
companies, rose 1.0%to 853.04, near
the record high of 855.77 that it
reached in July 2007.
Better-than-expected earnings
reports fromcompanies ranging from
airlines to office products manu-
facturers helped drive a broad rally
that included all 10 company groups
that make up the S&P index. Industrial

the explosive upside potential of reaching

By Executive Order of Congress Public Law
99-185, Americans can now buy new Gov-
ernment Issued Gold. Congressionally au-
thorized United States Gold Coins provide
American Citizens with a way to add phys-
ical Gold to their financial portfolios. Gold
American Eagles are made from solid Gold
mined here in America, minted at the U.S.
Mint at West Point and produced with an
official U.S. dollar denomination... making
them legal tender United States Gold Coins.
If you had $50,000 in the bank and you
transferred it into Gold at todays prices,
you would now have an opportunity to gain
as much as 5 times its value. Thats right,
$250,000. On the other hand, if you leave
that same $50,000 in the bank for 10 years,
chances are, its only going to be worth the
same $50,000. When you convert money
to Gold, you havent spent your money but
have transferred its value from a declining
paper currency to a precious metal that is
rising in both market and numismatic value.
This is how the genius of owning Gold can
protect your money in todays very vola-
tile market. Thousands of individuals have
lost their entire fortunes overnight. Dont
let it happen to you. Buying Coins involves
some risk. The market for these items is un-
regulated, and the value of a coin depends in
part on the price you pay. You should not ac-
quire any item if you are not competent or
qualied to make your own nancial deci-
sions. The Gold market is currently very
explosive and smart collectors are mov-
ing up to 30% of their assets into Gold.

Woods has minor knee injury
Tiger Woods has a minor injury to his left knee
and Achilles tendon that will keep him out of the
PGA Tour Wells Fargo Championship next week in
Charlotte. Woods said
he hurt himself hitting
a shot during the third
round of the Masters.
Its the fourth time he
has missed a tourna-
ment because of his left
knee. Woods did not
say when he might re-
turn, but he hopes to
be back in a fewweeks.
He won the Wells Fargo
at Quail Hollowin 2007
and had not nished
worse than 11th in four
appearances until a
year ago, when he
missed the cut with his
highest 36-hole score. Woods describedthis injury
as minor a mildsprainof his medial collateral lig-
ament in the left knee, along with a mild strain to
his left Achilles. The next tournaments Woods
wouldbe expectedto play are the June 2-5 Memo-
rial and the June 16-19 U.S. Open.
D-I hoops attendance at 25-year low
The NCAA on Tuesday touted a healthy mens
basketball season that drew nearly 27.6 million
fans fourth most all time in Division I. But it
masked more sobering numbers. The average reg-
ular-season game drew 5,237, a 25-year low at-
tributable in part to the struggling economy. The
Atlantic Coast Conferences overall average of
10,266 was its lowest since 1989. Attendance for
the NCAAtournament dipped, too, by 5%fromthe
previous year to 19,186 a session. Thats a ve-
year low. Steve Wieberg

The twosides inthe NFL la-
bor dispute continued to
jockey for position one day
after U.S. District Judge Susan
Richard Nelson invalidated
the leagues lockout.
The NFL has appealed Nel-
sons decision and asked for a
stay of league activity until its
appeal is heard.
There wont be a signi-
cant degree of uncertainty
once we know how these
motions are addressed, NFL
general counsel Jeff Pash said
in a conference call.
NFL Commissioner Roger
Goodell reiterated his con-
dence Tuesday that the
league would prevail in the
legal battle. Goodell said the
league would comply with
Nelsons order, but he cau-
tioned that the NFL would
follow through on its appeal
and seek guidance on wheth-
er it can receive a stay on the
ruling before opening the
newleague year.
We will obviously follow
any rulings that are made,
Goodell said on the NFL Net-
work in his rst public re-
marks since the ruling came
down Monday.
But he added, Were going
to pursue every opportunity
to get clarity on these issues.
The NFLs approach con-
icts with that of the players,
who want the new league
year to open immediately.
James Quinn, the class
counsel for the players anti-
trust suit against the NFL, told
NFL.com the lawyers were
closely monitoring the
leagues response.
They better act quickly,
because as of right now
theres no stay and, presum-
ably, players could sign with
teams, Quinn said.
NFLPA executive director
DeMauriceSmithcomplained
that the NFL allowed chaos
to set in as players reported
to teams Tuesday morning
and most were told they
could not participate in foot-
ball activities.
The New York Giants ap-
peared to be the only teamto
allow players to work out.
Defensive lineman Chris
Canty workedout at the team
facility.
Chris Canty wanted to
work out, so we allowed him
to use the facility for that pur-
pose, Giants spokesman Pat
Hanlon said. He worked out
on his own.

Kobe Bryant scored 19 points and
threw down two stirring dunks on a
sprained left ankle and the Los Ange-
les Lakers pushed the New Orleans
Hornets to the brink of rst-round
playoff eliminationwitha 106-90 vic-
tory in Game 5 on Tuesday night, tak-
ing a 3-2 series lead.
Andrew Bynum had 18 points and
10 rebounds and Pau Gasol added 16
points as the two-time defending
NBA champions roared back from a
slow start in a pivotal game for their
three-peat hopes with another dra-
matic playoff performance by Bryant,
who injured his ankle in Game 4.
Trevor Ariza scored 22 points and
Chris Paul had 20 points and 12 as-
sists for the seventh-seeded Hornets,
who have lost three of four since their
stunning Game 1 victory.
Game 6 will be Thursday in New
Orleans.
Meanwhile, the Memphis Grizzlies
are doing their best to keep a poker
face as they push the San Antonio
Spurs winners of four NBA titles
since 1999 and with the Wests best
record this season (61-21) to the
brink of elimination.
The Grizzlies, who rested their
starters and lost their last two reg-
ular-season games rather than trying
to avoid the Spurs, enter Game 5 to-
day with a 3-1 series lead. They hope
to be the second No. 8 seed to upset a
No. 1 in a best-of-seven format.
We werent thinking about who
we were going to face. We were
thinking about ourselves by resting
key players with injuries, Memphis
center Marc Gasol told USATODAYon
Tuesday. Trust me, the Spurs are not
easy at all.
The Grizzlies are making it look
that way. Behind the girth of 6-9
power forward Zach Randolph and
7-1 Gasol 525 pounds combined
theyve been too physical inside and
their perimeter defense too stringent.
Also, the Chicago Bulls reached the
Eastern Conference seminals, beat-
ing the Indiana Pacers 116-89.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. Marvin
Austin, Greg Little and Robert
Quinn have a lot in common . . .
unfortunately for them, too much.
They were coveted high school
recruits who went on
to star for the Univer-
sity of North Carolinas
football team, andall of themcould
have NFL homes by the completion
of the drafts second round Friday
night.
But none played a down in 2010
after being ruled ineligible, each
guilty of accepting improper bene-
ts fromagents.
Yet for NFL general managers tit-
illated by their talent but torn by
the trouble, perhaps they need
looknofurther thanUNCfor anen-
dorsement of a trio who embar-
rassed their school, failed their
teammates and crippled the Tar
Heels chances to earn their rst
Bowl Championship
Series bid.
All three of them
hurt. They really, truly were re-
morseful. They were just devas-
tated by their own stupidity, their
own ego, allowing themselves to
get caught up in it, head coach
Butch Davis said.
Little seems to actually appreci-
ate the adversity.
I think it was a good thing for
me, he says. If it didnt happen in
college, it would have poured over
into the NFL. Imthankful I learned
those lessons.
But it took him awhile to reach
that conclusion.
It was so bad, I couldnt even
watch the games sometimes, he
says.
Austin does not accept all of the
blame for his troubles.
Given my background, being
from an urban area of (Washing-
ton) D.C., my appearance with my
(dread)locks, people form a per-
ception, Austin says. It was easy
for themtopoint the nger andsay,

2C COVER STORY WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27, 2011 USA TODAY
Despite a bevy of statistics supporting the con-
tention that NASCAR has entered a golden age of
competition, theres one fact that seems to belie
that mountain of evidence.
Obviously, people say, Jimmie Johnson has won
the last ve (championships). It cant be that com-
petitive, Richard Childress Racing driver Clint
Bowyer says. But every year its gotten harder for
himto win, and its just like that this season.
Johnson captured his rst Sprint Cup victory of
2011 last week at Talladega Superspeedway, snap-
ping a 15-race winless streak that was the second
longest of his illustrious career and that he said
proved winning was very, very tough to do. This
year is proof of that to an even further extent.
Consider the 2011 numbers heading into Sat-
urdays Matthew and Daniel Hansen 400 at Rich-
mond International Raceway:
u Seven drivers have wins in the rst eight
races, the most for that span since 2003.
uThe top 10 in points have seven teams repre-
sented (three years ago, four teams controlled all
12 berths in the Chase for the Sprint Cup).
uThere have been 14.6 leaders and 38.5 lead
changes a race, both series highs through the rst
eight races. Four races have broken or tied records
for lead changes.
uRaces have averaged 4,511 green-ag passes
and 54 green-ag passes for the lead (anywhere on
the track), which also are highs through eight races
since NASCAR began tracking expanded statistical
data six years ago.
It comes on the heels of a 2010 season featuring
records for green-ag passes and lead changes and
leaders per event, as well as the tightest three-way
battle in the Chases seven-year history.
Bowyer says its the result of a mixture of rule
changes (such as double-le restarts in 2009) and a
next-generation car (introduced in 2007) whose
standardized features breed parity by quelling the
gray areas of suspension and body adjustments,
where teams often worked to nd advantages.
Its just so competitive that youre on edge the
whole weekend, not just on race day, but practice,
qualifying, Bowyer said. Were starting to look in
areas anddo things that weve never done before to
nd that edge. I thought last year was the best rac-
ing since Ive been in this sport, and this year has
proven to be even better.
Some of the improved competition could be at-
tributed to one team: Roush Fenway Racing. After
winning two of the rst 34 races last year, Roush
won the nal two with Carl Edwards, and its Fords
carried the momentuminto this season.
Edwards, who won again at Las Vegas Motor
Speedway, leads the standings, and teammate Matt
Kenseth(eighthinpoints) addeda winat Texas Mo-
tor Speedway three weeks ago.
Bowyer says its the nature of multicar teams
that teammates fortunes are intertwined. His
No. 33 Chevrolet jumped 10 spots in the points
with four consecutive top-10s (including back-to-
back runner-up nishes at Texas and Talladega) af-
ter Bowyer began trying setups similar to Paul Me-
nard(whojoinedRCRthis year inanewfourthcar).
When my teammates nd success, Im going to
go andput the stuff that hes got inhis race car, and,
if I dont like the way its driving, Imgoing to learn
howto drive it, Bowyer says. That way I can have
the same success because that setup is proven.
Theres a lot of rhyme andreasontowhypeople get
ona roll. The Roushorganizationstruggledlast year
and found it at the end, and theyve been able to
continue that success on(superspeedways). Its be-
cause theyve come up with a better package.
So has RCR, which also has Kevin Harvick (two
wins, fourth in points) sitting pretty for a Chase
berth. The last time the teamexpanded to a fourth
car, the teamdidnt qualifyanyone for the title hunt.
Bowyer and Menard (11th in points) still have a
shot, andJeff Burton(22nd) has anoutside chance if
he can creep into the top 20 in points (the Chase
will comprise the top 10 and the two drivers 11th
through 20th with the most wins).
Weve picked up pretty much where we left off
(2010), and I would say thats pretty big consider-
ing we brought in another team, Bowyer says. I
feel we can improve and get us some more wins.

Hes just another one of those (thug)
athletes. Ive never been in any (legal)
trouble ever.
He doesnt view his transgressions
(including three trips to Miami) as espe-
cially egregious.
It was like beingcaught onthe Fourth
of July for shooting recrackers. You
knowyoure not supposedto, but every-
body does it . . . receives extra bene-
ts, he recently told ESPNs Outside the
Lines. Its something that has plagued
college football for years.
Davis explained why he chose to help
themonto roads of redemption.
They are kids; this is an educational
institution, said Davis, who saw a
teachable moment at hand while decid-
ing to allowthe players none of whom
has graduated to use the campus facil-
ities to work out after the season and
participate in the schools heavily at-
tended March 31 pro day.
Heres a great opportunity to learn
one of lifes unbelievable lessons, Davis
said of including the players, cautionary
reminders totheir ex-teammates. What
happens if you make a mistake? Howdo
you change your perception? How do
you rebuild your reputation? How do
you restore your credibility?
It hasnt been easy.
(Someone) called me an excuse-
making con artist, recalled Austin, a
dominant 6-2, 309-pound defensive
tackle who likely would have been a
rst-roundpick hadhe enteredthe 2010
draft after his junior season. I have
owned up to everything I did. It is ex-
tremely hard to make a mistake today
because there is so much media atten-
tion. I think Imstill paying a price.
For the most part, a majority of
teams to be brutally honest said,
We want to know what went on, but
thats not why we have you here. They
are in the football business. Most teams
did not grill me about it.
Davis consultedwithUNCs chancellor
and athletics director before welcoming
back the troika who were primarily re-
sponsible for the undoing of last years
team, opting to serve as an advocate.
Every single time that they had an
opportunity to publicly state and take
ownership of what they did, never one
time did they ever blame somebody
else, Davis says. They said, I made a
mistake, I made a bad choice, I regret it.
It was just the best way for every-
body to kind of heal.
Teams interested
And it seems the players have conva-
lesced nicely.
Quinn, an explosive 6-4, 265-pound
pass rusher who was rst-team all-At-
lantic Coast Conference in 2009 as a
sophomore when he had 11 sacks, is re-
gardedas a top-10prospect. He has tried
to prepare himself for the rigors of a pro
seasonby training withformer NFL wide
receiver Don Beebe.
Had he played this year, not had the
suspension, hes a top-three pick, ESPN
draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. says.
Austin is again a borderline rst-
rounder. He appreciates the help the
university extended.
They understood we made mis-
takes, he says. I am Tar Heel born, Tar
Heel bred; when I die I will be Tar Heel
dead. Thats our saying. Thats the way
they approached it.
Austinwas the defensive engine, com-
manding frequent double teams that
helped turn Quinn loose, and a catalyst
for the programs revival. He quickly
helped Davis put the program back on
the map after a decade-long fallowperi-
od. His decision to go to Chapel Hill with
the newcoachin2007blazeda trail oth-
er blue-chippers followed.
He was the prize recruit; he was the
signature player, NFL Network analyst
and former league executive Michael
Lombardi says. Hes a top-10 talent.
All three have persistently tried to
work into the leagues good graces. Still,
some clubs might steer clear even
though Davis says he has elded doz-
ens and dozens of calls from teams
seeking insights.
I think anytime you have red lights,
youput extra workintoit, NFL Network
analyst and former league general man-
ager Charley Casserly says. The best
predictor of future behavior is past be-
havior when youre dealing with young
people.
Cleveland Browns GM Tom Heckert,
who holds the sixth pick of the rst
round, is weighing Quinns upside while
assessing game video of himfrom2009.
Obviously, its a thing youd rather
not have to deal with. Youd like to see
him play this year, Heckert says. You
just have to kind of use your judgment.
Poor judgment could really penalize
Little (6-5, 231 pounds). He caught 62
passes for 724 yards and ve touch-
downs after moving from tailback to
wide receiver as a junior in 2009. But his
lack of polish could drop him into the
second- to fourth-round range.
He couldve beneted most by play-
ing, says NFL Network analyst Bucky
Brooks, a former NFL player and scout
and a UNC alumnus.
Others hurt
Being cast out hurt Quinn, who con-
tinued attending classes in 2010 despite
his suspension.
I wouldbe sitting inthe stands think-
ing, Thats where I should be, he says
of the eld. Once I got the nal word
that I couldnt come back, thats when it
really hit me. There was no hope.
But you have to make a positive out
of a negative. We learned from our mis-
takes, and it opened our eyes.
It wasnt the rst time Quinnhada re-
ality check. He had surgery for a benign
brain tumor in high school and still has
regular checkups.
Things happen. Theres no point in
holding grudges, he says. That aint go-
ing to do nothing but kill you faster.
Little admits the consequences of his
self-described immaturity reached be-
yond his Tar Heels family.
It really hurt my parents, because
they had to go to work and be asked
about it all the time, he says. It brought
me back down to earth. (My actions) af-
fected so many people indirectly.
Austin was plagued by his mistakes
amid a wasted senior year.
I came back to win a national cham-
pionship, he says.
But the potential path to a title began
dead-ending last summer as the players
missteps they were accused of ac-
cepting trips and jewelry began com-
ing to light in late June, spurring an
NCAA investigation. Other players later
were accused of academic misconduct
involving a former tutor.
More than a dozen were suspended
for the opener at LSU. Nearly half of
themwere later cleared, but the die was
cast. The depletedTar Heels nished8-5.
Little andQuinnwere strippedof their
eligibility. Austin was dismissed from
the team. The NCAAs nal ruling is
pending.
It took awhile to change the culture
of the locker room, recruit all these
guys, Davis says. We felt like we were
going to put ourselves in a position to
really compete for the ACC champion-
ship and hopefully maybe some-
thing beyond that.
It was disappointing.
Little, whos triedto work himself into
shape through mixed martial arts train-
ing, hopes to capitalize on a fresh start.
Once youve been given that second
chance, its not worth anything if you
dont do anything with it, he says.
North Carolinas football programmight play second banana to its basketball team, but
the Tar Heels have sent their share of rst-rate players Hall of Fame linebackers Chris
Hanburger and Lawrence Taylor, Jeff Saturday, Julius Peppers and Willie Parker, to name a
fewto the NFL. At least four more potential Pro Bowlers could be drafted this year:
Player Pos. Proj. round UNC coachButchDavis NFL comparison
MarvinAustin DT 1-2 Darnell Dockett
The skinny: He swallows running backs, dominates offensive linemen at the point of at-
tack, terrorizes quarterbacks and can play inside or out.
Bruce Carter OLB 2 Derrick Brooks
The skinny: Hes still recovering froma torn knee ligament suffered late in the 2010 sea-
son. Otherwise this explosive playmaker would be a surere rst-rounder.
Greg Little WR 2-3 Anquan Boldin
The skinny: Hes a strong, chiseled athlete who played running back during his rst two
years. He is fast, has great hands and is scary with the ball, but he needs renement.
Robert Quinn DE 1 Michael Strahan
The skinny: He might work as a linebacker in a 3-4 defense, but Davis prefers himat de-
fensive end in a 4-3, lauding his ability to pursue quarterbacks and stop the run.

wont need to go to the Eighth Circuit Court of Ap-
peals to resolve their differences.
NFL labor
RC: If there wasnt a season at stake, it would
be funny to watch NFL players and owners go to
the mattresses. As Clemenza reminds us in The
Godfather, These things gotta happen every ve
years or so, 10 years. Helps to get rid of the bad
blood.
But it was sad, af-
ter the judges rul-
ing Monday, to hear
DeMaurice Smith
and Jeff Pashre-
spond like they
were fromthe Bar-
zini and Tattaglia
families. FYI, guys:
You make it sound
like its personal,
not business. It is
supposed to be the
other way around.
TW: I had to
chuckle reading
Roger Goodells
op-ed piece for The
Wall Street Journal
about the state of
the unlocked-out NFL. Sheriff Roger makes the
case that the players lawyering is ripping apart
the fabric of what makes the league great.
Thats an argument for the status quo, which
the owners destroyed by tossing a hand grenade
on the negotiating table with the lockout and
the grab for a billion more of the revenue.
JimTressel
TW: Its clear that unless Ohio State coach Jim
Tressel is found to be hiding another pack of
lies, hell weather the stormhe foolishly created.
Its also clear that any Ohio State student who
gets caught cheating on an examcan make the
case his punishment should be nothing worse
than a ve-class suspension.
RC: Its probably time for Tressel to go from
sweater to bulletproof vests. The slings and ar-
rows hell suffer might come closer to home
than he is accustomed.
If its determined the school needs to pay for
its coachs transgressions, Tressel should protect
his blind side, or his last words as a coach could
be Et tu, Brutus?
Baseball playoffs
TW: I like an expanded eld, and baseball still
would have two fewer postseason teams than
the NFL and six fewer than the NBAand NHL.
The biggest drawback is having a World Series
that ends after Halloween. Thats why going
back to baseballs original 154-game schedule
should also be on the table.
RC: Why not just award players a participa-
tion trophy and send themhome? Nothing says
baseball like an early December World Series.
Throwing a lifeline to a teamthat couldnt gin
it up over 162 games, because you can make
more money off it, is sad at rst blush and infuri-
ating on second take.
NBAplayoffs
TW: The Memphis Grizzlies Game 4 beat-
down of the San Antonio Spurs validated that
axiomthat teams need young legs in the play-
offs. Well see if that holds true when the Boston
Celtics senior citizens face the Miami Heat.
Meantime, the Spurs might want to nd out
whether Gatorade and Geritol are a good mix.
RC: Is it possible that we could get a second
round without Carmelo, Amare, Kobe,
Dwight, Dirkand TimDuncan?
Some people on high oors are sweating
through their Armani suits.
But that nightmare is matched by fans of the
Orlando Magic and NewOrleans Hornets know-
ing that predators are out there taking notes on
Dwight Howardand Chris Paul and treating
the playoffs as an audition for future employees.

Besides surprising pro basketball teams, Memphis and NewOr-
leans share the Mississippi River about 375 miles apart Mem-
phis in Tennessee and NewOrleans in Louisiana. The towns offer a
rich reection of American cultural, military and religious history
and a sports rsum that is adding important lines this spring.
The Memphis Grizzlies, who began life as the Vancouver Griz-
zlies in 1995, have given the NBAWestern Conference top-seeded
San Antonio Spurs a ride, and can clinch the surprising series in ve
games tonight in Texas. The NewOrleans Hornets who started in
Charlotte in 1988 are trying to knock off the defending champion
Los Angeles Lakers.
But Memphis and NewOrleans have never cracked the NBAelite
and never had a teamin the league nals. The best you can say
about NewOrleans is that the Saints won the Super Bowl in the
2009 season.
Memphis sports history features three basketball Final Fours
by the University of Memphis, the last two of which the NCAA
vacated because of irregularities under coaches Dana Kirk
(1985) and John Calipari (2008). So a Grizzlies takeout of the
Spurs would be most welcome by the locals.

Thursdays NFL draft, like Fridays
royal wedding, is the rare live event
where viewers can choose between
coverage on different channels.
Getting the basics players strid-
ing to the draft podium,
bride and groommeeting at
the altar is a given for any
network. So howdo you de-
cide Thursday between
ESPNand the NFL Network
for prime-time rst-round
coverage?
uWar rooms vs. living
rooms: The leagues own
channel has given itself ex-
clusive access to cameras in
teamdraft rooms. Unfortu-
nately, cameras trained on powwows
for those 10 teams including the
Carolina Panthers, who have the top
pick, as well as the Denver Broncos,
Buffalo Bills, Arizona Cardinals, San
Francisco 49ers, Dallas Cowboys, Se-
attle Seahawks, Atlanta Falcons, New
York Jets and Green Bay Packers
wont come with audio. Meaning,
youll be left to lip-read those antacid-
eating or high-ving teamexecs.
ESPNwill have cameras trained on
25 likely draftees standing by in
somebodys packed living roomor
restaurant for shots as
they get the news. Here,
ESPNshould have an
edge: Live shots of exul-
tant grandmas can be dif-
ference-makers in draft
TV.
uFlooding the zone
vs. key isolations: ESPN
has cut back its on-air
presence at the draft to
focus on three talking
heads: Jon Gruden (who
might end up like John Madden a
young Super Bowl-winning coach
who went into TVand stayed on-air
for decades rather than returning to
the sidelines) and TVdraft pioneers
Chris Berman and Mel Kiper Jr.
NFL Network will have a bigger on-
site announcer lineup, led by a ve-
man main set hosted by ESPNalum-
nus Rich Eisen. Here, NFL Network
might have the edge with Deion
Sanders, who will interviewplayers,
and analyst Michael Irvin. Even in a
TVgenre thats heavily formatted,
those two can blindside you with
their audibles.
uThe key matchup: Your makeup
crewcan be meticulous and your
highlight packages taut, but TVdraft
coverage ultimately comes down to
your lead draftniks.
Kiper created that role decades ago.
But NFL Networks Mike Mayock, who
also calls NBC Notre Dame games and
likely will be added to NFL Networks
prime-time NFL games, has become a
worthy adversary. Kiper has an edge
with at least one key intangible his
coif and fromteamstrength:
ESPNs rst-round draft coverage last
year averaged 7.3 million viewers
compared with about 1 million for
NFL Network.
Ultimately, the NFL wins with the
two-channel mara-
thon infomercial.

The 25 biggest NFL draft
busts of past 15 years
Fifteen years ago, the Balti-
more Ravens took LB Ray Lewis
with the 26th pick in the rst
round of the 1996 NFL draft.
Twelve Pro Bowl appearances
and one Super Bowl champion-
ship later, Lewis is still delivering
for the Ravens. The only active
player remaining fromthe rst
round of that 1996 draft, Lewis is
the ultimate example of teams
nding good value in the draft.
But the NFL talent evaluation
process is littered with examples
fromthe opposite end of the
spectrum. Every year, teams
miss on draft picks, sometimes in
spectacular fashion.
USATODAYs Sean Leahy re-
views some of themwith the 25
worst rst-round draft picks of
the past 15 years (players from
the draft classes of 2008 to 2010
are not considered because of a
small sample size).
JaMarcus Russell tops the list
as the most expensive draft
mistake in NFL history. The LSU
quarterback was No. 1 overall in
2007 by the Oakland Raiders.
The rest of the top 10:
u2. RyanLeaf, QB: No. 2 in
1998 by San Diego Chargers.
u3. Charles Rogers, WR: No.
2 in 2003 by Detroit Lions.
u4. Akili Smith, QB: No. 3 in
1999 by Cincinnati Bengals.
u5. Dimitrius Underwood,
DT: No. 29 in 1999 by Minnesota
Vikings.
u6. Mike Williams, WR: No.
10 in 2005 by Detroit Lions.
u7. Cade McNown, QB: No.
12 in 1999 by Chicago Bears.
u8. Andre Wadsworth, DE:
No. 3 in 1998 by Arizona Cardi-
nals.
u9. Yatil Green, WR: No. 15
in 1997 by Miami Dolphins.
u10. Lawrence Phillips, RB:
No. 6 in 1996 by St. Louis Rams.

Bears QB Cutler, MTVs
Kristin Cavallari engaged
Much-maligned Chicago Bears
quarterback Jay Cutler is lucky in
love. Cutler popped the question
to girlfriend Kristin Cavallari of
MTVfame, and she accepted.
Cutler proposed to the former
Laguna Beach star while on vaca-
tion in Mexico, People.comre-
ported.
Cutler, 27, has been dating
Cavallari, 24, since last fall, ac-
cording to the website.
Cutler came under a withering
social media attack fromfellow
NFL players who questioned his
toughness for leaving the NFC
Championship Game against the
Green Bay Packers because of a
knee injury.
The wags on Twitter still
wouldnt let Cutler forget about
that Tuesday.
Hope Jay Cutler doesnt have
any problems walking down the
aisle with his bad knee, read

Tuesdays results
Baltimore: C Matt Wie-
ters drove in the Orioles rst
run Tuesday with a single off
the rst-base bag in the second
inning. That made Wieters 7-
for-7 with 11 RBI this season
when batting with runners in
scoring position. He entered
the game 8-for-52 (.154) in all
other situations.
Boston: Red Sox starters
have a 1.33 ERAover the last
10 games. . . . C JasonVaritek
started for the fourth time in
six games after he started ve
of the rst 16. Entering Tuesday,
Red Sox pitchers had a 2.07
ERAwith Varitek behind the
plate and a 6.14 ERAwith Jar-
rodSaltalamacchia catching.
Chicago: Manager Ozzie
Guillensaid hitting coach Greg
Walker and pitching coach
DonCooper werent at fault
for the White Soxs slowstart.
If theyre going to blame any-
body on this ballclub for how
bad we are, I take the blame,
Guillen said. I take full respon-
sibility for my acts. I take full re-
sponsibility for what I think, be-
cause Imthe one that writes
the lineup. . . . CF Alex Rios
said his sore left big toe was an
issue he had dealt with for a
couple of years. The best way to
cure it? Play through it, he said.
Its not something Imworried
about, Rios said. Its not going
to keep me out of a game. Rios
ended a 0-for-22 skid with a
single Monday.
Cleveland: The Indians are
the only teamyet to throwout
a basestealer. Opponents are
14-for-14 in steal attempts. . . .
RF Shin-Soo Choo, who has hit
.300 in each of the last two
years, entered Tuesday hitting
.207, but manager Manny Acta
isnt worried about him. If hes
hitting .200 at the All-Star
break, then Ill be concerned,
Acta said.
Detroit: RHP RickPorcello
is scheduled to have nine days
of rest before his start Saturday
in Cleveland. Hes using the ex-
tra time off to try to regain fast-
ball velocity, mostly through
several sessions of long toss.
Its slowly coming back, Por-
cello said of his fastball, which
has been below90 mph or in
the 89- to 91-mph range. . . .
RF Magglio Ordonez has been
starting at designated hitter
while DH-C Victor Martinez
has been on the disabled list,
but that will end soon. Were
going to have to get himto the
outeld at some point, man-
ager JimLeylandsaid. When
Victor comes back, were going
to have to maneuver a little bit,
but thats OK.
Kansas City: 2B Chris
Getzs starting job could be in
jeopardy if he doesnt start
contributing more offense, ac-
cording to The Kansas City Star.
If we had seven guys smoking
the ball, it wouldnt be an is-
sue, Royals manager NedYost
said. You could absorb a .220
or .230 average at short and
second and not miss a beat. We
have to have more production.
Los Angeles: Asked to as-
sess 1B Kendrys Morales re-
hab froma broken left ankle,
manager Mike Scioscia said,
For sure, the progress has
been slow. Morales workouts
still dont include full-speed
running and are usually limited
to batting practice, agility drills
and elding grounders. Accord-
ing to Scioscia, Morales has
been alternating straight-line
running with occasional work-
outs in which he runs the curve
of the ineld.
Minnesota: LF Delmon
Young was ready to return to
the lineup Tuesday after a ve-
game absence, but the game
was rained out. He had been
battling the u and a rib-cage
injury that occurred during bat-
ting practice.
NewYork: With 10 days
between starts, RHP IvanNova
bounced back and turned in his
nest performance of the sea-
son. He pitched 6
1
3 innings, al-
lowing one run, and was in line
for the win before RHreliever
Rafael Soriano gave up the
game-winning home run in the
eighth. I was focused and con-
dent, Nova said. I was more
aggressive. Uncharacteristical-
ly, command had been a prob-
lemin Sorianos previous start,
but he honed his fastball com-
mand this time and generated
nine ground-ball outs.
Oakland: OF JoshWilling-
ham, who came out of the
game Monday with back tight-
ness, was not in the starting
lineup Tuesday against the An-
gels in Anaheim. Manager Bob
Gerensaid Willinghamstill had
a twinge of back stiffness and
would not play. . . . C Kurt Su-
zuki will miss todays game vs.
the Angels to be with his wife
for the birth of their rst child.
Seattle: The Mariners were
last in the AL with a .226 bat-
ting average and a .320 slugging
percentage entering Tuesday.
They were tied for the AL lead
with 92 walks, so there had
been runners on base, but Seat-
tle was 12th in the league in
runs. These guys have got to
nd a way to ght through
what they are going through
mentally, manager Eric
Wedge said. Weve got to get
back to taking advantage of op-
portunities.
Tampa Bay: Tuesdays
rainout will be made up as part
of a day-night doubleheader
Thursday, which doesnt appeal
to Joe Maddon. The Rays man-
ager thinks the time off be-
tween games can lead to play-
ers tightening up. The split
doubleheader to me is an abso-
lutely ridiculous concept and
should not be allowed, because
if youre going to hurt some-
body, thats the time youre go-
ing to get hurt, Maddon said.
Texas: RHreliever Ryan
Tucker will be recalled from
Class AAARound Rock (Texas),
The Dallas Morning News re-
ported. Tucker, 24, was 1-1 with
one save and a 4.09 ERA
through six appearances for
Round Rock. Hitters were bat-
ting .200 against him.
Toronto: DHEdwinEncar-
nacionmissed his fourth con-
secutive game with a sore left
wrist. He could be back today.
. . . OF Rajai Davis (right ankle
sprain) could still come off the
15-day disabled list during the

by a pitch on his left wrist in a

Manager JohnFarrell said the

More tests for Hughes: The New York Yankees are
waiting for a diagnosis on pitcher Phil Hughes, who is
scheduled for more tests
today.
The right-hander had
two MRIs and a vascular
test to check circulation
Tuesday. On the disabled
list since April 15 because
of a dead arm, Hughes cut
short a bullpen session
Monday, saying his arm
didnt feel any livelier.
Yankees manager Joe Gi-
rardi said the team was
trying to rule out every-
thing it possibly could, but
he acknowledged that
Hughes could be sidelined
for a while and that he
wouldbe difcult toreplace
in the starting rotation.
Hughes, 24, was 18-8 with a 4.19 ERA last year, earning
his rst All-Star selection. He is 0-1 with a 13.94 ERA this
season after three starts and has had trouble reaching 90
mph with his fastball.
Not yet for Mauer: Minnesota Twins All-Star Joe
Mauer will be eligible to come off the disabled list Thurs-
day. But Twins general
manager Bill Smith
doesnt think Mauer will
be healthy enough for that
to happen.
The team placed Mauer
onthe disabledlist April 14
with bilateral leg weak-
ness. Smithsaid Mauer lost
about a weekof rehabtime
because of a nasty case of
the u, which circulated
through the clubhouse.
Smith says Mauer has
since recovered from the
illness but needs more
time to strengthen his legs
for the rigors of catching.
The team has not determined if Mauer will need to go to
the minors on a rehab assignment.
Hamilton improving: Texas Rangers slugger Josh
Hamilton has gone through a workout catching y balls,
throwing and running the bases. The reigning American
League MVP says its the best hes felt since breaking his
upper right arm.
The pregame workout came two weeks after Hamilton
got hurt when diving headrst into home plate. Hamilton
is unable to fully swing the bat, but he says hes staying on
top of everything he can until then. He is even taking one-
armed swings off a tee using his left arm.
Carrasco tests OK: An MRI on Carlos Carrascos el-
bow did not show any structural damage, and there is a
chance the Cleveland Indians right-hander will make his
scheduled start Saturday.
Carrasco left his start Sunday in Minnesota after three
innings with elbow tightness. The MRI results came back
negative.
Carrasco will throw 30 to 35 pitches in the bullpen to-
day, and as long as that goes well and he doesnt have any
soreness, he will pitch Saturday against the Detroit Tigers.

The Philadelphia Phillies are em-
ploying their third closer in three
weeks, becoming the sixth teamto
change closers this month.
Injuries forced the Texas Rangers
and Phillies to make changes. Other
teams simply lost their patience, as
an epidemic of bullpen and relief
woes sweep the major leagues.
Entering Tuesdays games, there
had been 81 blown saves. Seven
teams had blown at least four, led
by the Chicago White Soxs six. This
could be the rst time since 2003,
according to Elias Sports Bureau,
that there could be more than 100
blownsaves before the endof April.
April is a tough month for us,
Cincinnati Reds closer Francisco
Cordero says. You never know
whats going to happen. Its a real
strange month.
Its gotten so zany in the closers
world that even New York Yankees
great Mariano Rivera is not im-
mune to struggles. He blew back-
to-back saves for the rst time in
four years.
April is only the toughest month
because everything is so magni-
ed, Arizona Diamondbacks clos-
er J.J. Putz says. Every team wants
to get out of the gate quickly, so
when a closer struggles, that panic
button gets hot real quick.
The Los Angeles Angels switched
closers after four games, demoting
Fernando Rodney for rookie Jordan
Walden. The Minnesota Twins de-
moted Joe Nathan after he blew
back-to-backsaves for the rst time
since 2008, switching to Matt
Capps.
The St. Louis Cardinals demoted
Ryan Franklin after he blew four
saves, turning to Mitchell Boggs,
who had no career saves.
And the White Sox, after suf-
fering six blown saves in their rst
12 games with Matt Thornton and
Chris Sale trying to close, might
have their next candidate.
Right-hander Sergio Santos
pitched1zscoreless innings at Yan-
kee Stadium on Monday to save a
2-0 victory.
Manager Ozzie Guillen said Tues-
day that he was excited about San-
tos showing but would go little by
little in his assessment.
Its a hard job, Cleveland Indi-
ans President Mark Shapiro says.
Its not so much a matter of talent,
but how he responds to a blown
save.
Texas Neftali Feliz has proved his
skills, but 2010s American League
rookie of the year must bounce
back froman inamed shoulder.
As for the Phillies, they lost closer
Brad Lidge late in the spring with a
partially torn rotator cuff. Jose Con-
treras, 39, then saved more games
(ve) in three weeks than he had
for his career. NowContreras has an
elbow strain, leaving the job to
Ryan Madson.
Yeah, Imalarmed, Phillies gen-
eral manager Ruben Amaro told
news reporters. Its thin.

Almonte hits 7-day DL; Hart returns: Milwaukee
Brewers utility man Erick Almonte became the rst ma-
jor leaguer put on the newseven-day disabled list for con-
cussions after he was hit in the forehead by a thrown ball
during batting practice.
Also Tuesday, the Brewers
changed plans and activated All-
Star right elder Corey Hart im-
mediately instead of waiting until
today after he missed the seasons
rst three weeks with a side strain.
Almonte was standing at rst
base looking away when a throw
from the left side of the ineld
struck him. Carlos Gomez tried to
warn Almonte and, as Almonte
spun to look at Gomez, he was hit
just above the left eye.
He took a few steps, then fell on
the grass down the right-eld line
just as a trainer reached him. Teammates and manager
Ron Roenicke gathered around him for several minutes
before resuming ineld drills. Almonte got to his feet and
walked gingerly to the clubhouse with his eyes down and
a welt forming on his forehead.
Nats moves: The Washington Nationals have put Ian
Desmondonthepaternity-leavelist andrecalledouteld-
er Roger Bernadina fromClass AAASyracuse (N.Y.).
Manager Jim Riggleman says he expects Desmond to
miss two games. The shortstops wife, Chelsey, gave birth
Tuesday to their rst child, Grayson Wesley Desmond.
Bernadina was hitting .267withone homer andtwo RBI
in 13 games with the minor league afliate.
Riggleman also said third baseman Ryan Zimmerman
is playing catch and doing some running. Zimmerman is
onthe15-daydisabledlist witha strainedstomachmuscle
and hasnt played since April 9. Riggleman said Zimmer-
manprobably will have a rehab assignment before return-
ing to the big-league club.
Ethiers record: The Los Angeles Dodgers Andre Eth-
ier set a major league record Tuesday when he extended
his hittingstreakto23games, thelongest ever inApril. The
right elder doubled in the rst inning at the Florida Mar-
lins to break the record set by his former manager, Joe
Torre, who hit in22 consecutive April games in1971. Tor-
re was playing for the St. Louis Cardinals at the time. Eth-
iers streak is a career best. Hes had a hit in every game
since going 0-for-4 in the seasons second game April 1.
McCourt, MLB to talk: Dodgers owner Frank
McCourt will be in New York today to meet with Major
League Baseball executives, while the man appointed to
overseetheteams dailyoperations will makehis rst pub-
lic appearance inLos Angeles. McCourt saidhe has practi-
cal concerns about the hiring of former Texas Rangers
President J. Thomas Schieffer to runthe Dodgers. Its un-
clear what role McCourt will have under the newregime.

Arizona: RHP IanKennedy
on Monday became the rst Di-
amondback to strike out 10 and
allowthree hits or fewer in a
game since LHP Randy John-
sons perfect game in Atlanta
on May 18, 2004. Kennedy was
pitching a day after helping in
the delivery of his rst child,
Nora Rose. I was really just
hoping to get through six in-
nings, Kennedy said. . . . RH
reliever AaronHeilman
(shoulder) and LHP ZachDuke
(broken left hand) threwbull-
pen sessions, the rst time ei-
ther has been on the mound
since going on the disabled list.
Heilman will be eligible to
come off the DL at the end of
the week. Duke isnt expected
back until late May.
Atlanta: LHreliever Jonny
Venters, who earned his rst
save of the season Sunday,
pitched another scoreless in-
ning Monday to stretch his
scoreless streak to 10
2
3 in-
nings. He had allowed only one
run, April 3 against Washing-
ton, in 12
2
3 innings. . . . RHre-
liever Cory Gearrinmade his
major league debut Monday,
pitching two scoreless innings.
Chicago: One night after his
rst career ve-hit game, Ko-
suke Fukudome was out of
the starting lineup with the
Cubs facing Colorado LHP Jorge
De La Rosa. Manager Mike
Quade said Fukudome would
be seeing plenty of action with
the Cubs facing a string of right-
handed starters at Arizona and
the Dodgers. Fukudome
grounded out twice after enter-
ing as a pinch-hitter in the sev-
enth, ending his hitting streak
at eight games.
Cincinnati: LF Jeremy
Hermida is hitless in 12 at-bats
this season.
Colorado: RHP Aaron
Cookis getting closer to re-
turning to the rotation. Cook
threw60 pitches during a bull-
pen session Monday, reporting
no problems. Manager JimTra-
cy said the broken nger on
Cooks right hand is no longer
an issue and that he is nowin
spring training mode. Cook will
throwagain Saturday, and if all
goes well, hell rejoin the Rock-
ies next week in Arizona to
continue his throwing program.
Florida: SS Hanley Rami-
rez was back in the lineup after
not starting Mondays game
because of a 0-for-17 skid and
spending the day working with
hitting coach JohnMallee. Ra-
mirez said he has closed his
batting stance slightly, which he
used in the ninth inning to de-
liver a key pinch-hit single.
Houston: IF Clint Barmes,
on the disabled list (broken left
hand), had a double and an RBI
in seven innings in a rehab as-
signment with Class AAAOkla-
homa City on Tuesday. . . . OF
JasonMichaels (separated left
shoulder) was placed on the DL,
and OF BrianBogusevic, one
of the last cuts in spring train-
ing, was recalled fromOklaho-
ma City. Michaels was hitting
.111 when he was injured div-
ing for a ball Sunday.
Los Angeles: RHreliever
JonathanBroxtonis no longer
the teams only closer, GMNed
Colletti told a Los Angeles ra-
dio station. Instead, Colletti
said, Broxton will share the role
with RHreliever Vicente Padi-
lla and LHreliever Hong-Chih
Kuo when Kuo (lower back)
comes off the DL. But the Los
Angeles Times reported that
manager DonMattingly told
Broxton hes still the closer.
Milwaukee: 3B Casey
McGehee, who sprained his
left thumb on the nal play of
Mondays game, had a brace on
his thumb and was not in Tues-
days lineup. Manager Ron
Roenicke said McGehee want-
ed to play and was kept out as a
precaution.
NewYork: C Ronny Pauli-
no was eligible to come off the
DL, but the teamallowed him
to continue his rehab assign-
ment for another day. Paulino,
who strained a muscle in his
side over the weekend, was hit-
ting .200 (6-for-30) with one
double and three RBI in nine
minor league games.
Philadelphia: RF Do-
monic Brown(broken right
hand) is close to beginning a re-
hab assignment after spending
the last week playing in extend-
ed spring training games in
Clearwater, Fla. When he be-
gins his rehab, it could take
place in the same complex. Ev-
erything is going pretty good,
Brown told Philly.com.
Pittsburgh: OF Xavier
Paul was claimed off waivers
fromthe Dodgers. Paul, 26, has
shown good tools in the mi-
nors, including a strong arm,
but he batted .230 with one
home run and 12 RBI in 55
games for Los Angeles the last
three seasons. To clear space on
the 40-man roster, LHP Scott
Olsen(hamstring) was moved
fromthe 15-day DL to the
60-day DL. Once Paul arrives,
he likely will replace OF-1B
JohnBowker or 1B-3B Steve
Pearce on the 25-man roster.
St. Louis: SS RyanTheriot
was scratched fromthe lineup
because of soreness on the
right side of his rib cage.
San Diego: The Padres
reinstated OF Kyle Blanks from
the 15-day DL and optioned
himto Class AASan Antonio.
He had season-ending surgery
on his right elbowJuly 29 after
playing in 33 games last season.
San Francisco: LHP Bar-
ry Zito will see foot specialist
Robert Anderson today in Char-
lotte. Zito, who sustained a
midfoot sprain April 16, had a
cast removed fromhis right
foot Sunday.
Washington: LHP John
Lannanallowed four runs in
the fourth inning of the Nation-
als loss Monday, lasting 5
2
3 in-
nings and losing for the second
time this year. Lannan gave up
ve hits and walked two,
throwing 59 of his 99 pitches
for strikes. It was the fourth
time in ve outings this year
Lannan has failed to make it
through the sixth inning.

National League notes
WASHINGTON Just
about everyone else has
been hitting well during the
New York Mets winning
streak. It was time for Josh
Thole to join in the fun.
Thole had four RBI this
season as the Mets pre-
pared to open a six-game
trip Tuesday. He promptly
added three more, includ-
ing a two-run double that
put New York ahead for
good in the sixth inning of a
6-4 victory against the
Washington Nationals.
I think hes starting to
get condent in his play,
Mets manager Terry Collins
said. Hes overachieved his
whole life, his whole career.
Hes one guy that tries, tries
hard. . . . He comes upwith
big hits, and thats what his
career has been about.
New York has won ve
consecutive games, its best
streak since taking eight ina
row last June 10-18. The
Mets moved within three
games of .500 as they con-
tinue to recover from a
dreadful start.
A couple of weeks ago
everybody was trying so
hard. I guess you could use
the phrase they were press-
ing a little bit, Collins said.
Its amazing how all of a
sudden things just start
turning your way.
Tholes rst RBI was a
groundout that scored Ja-
son Bay, but it was enough
to get him going. In the
sixth, he got the better of
Doug Slaten, who was
brought on to create a lefty-
lefty matchup. Thole hit a
slider into the left-eld cor-
ner to score Bay and Ike Da-
vis, breaking a 3-3 tie.

6C COLLEGES WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27, 2011 USA TODAY
Utah wont start competing in
the new-look Pacic-12 Confer-
ence until September, but the
Utes already appear to be scoring
some important victories as they
get readyfor their rst seasonina
league that receives anautomatic
bid to the Bowl Championship
Series.
The announcement (conrm-
ing the Utes move) was made in
June (2010), and within 10 days
we had seven verbal commit-
ments from (recruits) we would
probably not have gotten other-
wise, coach Kyle Whittingham
says. Surprisingly, that was more
than I expected.
The Utes recruiting class in-
cludeda trioof players whograd-
uated fromhigh school early and
enrolled in college in time to par-
ticipate in spring practice. Run-
ning back Harvey Langi and line-
men Isaac Asiata and Daniel
Nielson are three of 134 such
players that schools inthe sixma-
jor conferences (plus indepen-
dent Notre Dame) said came in
early this year. These athletes
would normally still be in high
school but have gotten a jump
this spring oncollege football and
class work.
Since 2002, USA TODAY has
been tracking the early-entry
trend among schools in leagues
that have automatic afliation
with BCS bowls. This years total
is down slightly fromlast springs
highof 141. But its easilythe sec-
ond-highest amount.
Signingdayis inearlyFebruary,
and January enrollees count to-
ward the previous years schol-
arships. Soschools must have un-
used scholarships available to
bring recruits in early. Ohio State
and Florida, with seven each,
have the most this year. Only 15
of the 67 schools have none.
Whittingham and Utah par-
took of the practice when the
Utes were in the Mountain West
Conference, and he thinks its
well worthwhile for the school
and the athletes.
Its a huge advantage for play-
ers to get here in the spring, he
says. They get early exposure to
football and academics, and by
the end of one semester, theyve
usually made all the transition
they need.
Among the players who have
enrolled early at Utah in past
years is quarterback Jordan
Wynn, who graduatedinDecem-
ber 2008 from Oceanside (Calif.)
High. By the following fall, Wynn
had progressed enough to start
ve games and was most valu-
able player of the Poinsettia Bowl
after completing 26 of 36 passes
for 338 yards against California.
Last year, Wynn completed
62.2% of his throws for 2,334
yards and 17 touchdowns in 10
games. This season, he will be
coached by one of the most re-
nowned offensive coordinators in
the history of the sport: Norm
Chow, who was hired in January.
A three-time national assistant
of the year, Chow was offensive
coordinator for three national ti-
tle teams (Brigham Young in
1984 and Southern California in
2003 and 2004). Most recently,
Chow was at UCLA, so he has
plenty of experience in the old
Pac-10.
We wanted a West Coast a-
vor to the offense, and we think
Norms offense suits Jordans
style, he says. We want to drop
back and throwthe ball.
Another benet: more buzz on
the recruiting trail. With Norm
on board, were attracting the in-
terest of lots of top quarter-
backs, Whittinghamsays.
Thats an important step, but
so, too, Whittinghamsays, will be
building the depth necessary to
start competing for the league ti-
tle and Rose Bowl berths. The
Utes play their rst conference
game Sept. 10 at USC.
Thats kind of like an Achilles
heel that we need to end, he
says. Depth is often an issue at
non-BCS schools.

Florida coach Will Muschamp
said Tuesday that all-Southeast-
ern Conference cornerback Jano-
ris Jenkins, arrested
twice inthe past three-
plus months on mari-
juana charges, no longer was
with the team.
After meeting with Janoris
Jenkins today, we both felt it was
inhis best interest to move ahead
to the next stage of his career,
Muschamp said. We appreciate
Janoris contributions . . . during
his time here and wish him the
best of luck.
The Gainesville Police Depart-
ment said Jenkins, 22, was smok-
ing a cigar in a car in a parking lot
early Saturday and, when ap-
proached by police, left the vehi-
cle and began to walk away. A
police statement said a burnt
cannabis cigar was found in the
cars center console. Jenkins was
given a notice to appear in court.
He accepted a plea deal in March
to misdemeanor possession of
less than 20 grams of marijuana
and was ordered to pay $316 in
court costs and nes.
Jenkins missed spring practice
after having shoulder surgery.
The injury was a major reason he
elected to return this fall rather
than enter the NFL draft.
Jenkins could try to enter a
supplemental draft this summer.
This is the third time Jenkins
has had legal issues. He was in an
altercation with other men out-
side a Gainesville nightspot in
May 2009 and was given de-
ferredprosecutionwithnes and
community service.
Title IX sidestep: Many Divi-
sion I schools distort the number
of students participating in
sports so they can comply with
Title IX, The New York Times re-
ported. Among the tactics: pad
rosters of womens teams with
unqualied players or even men.
The newspaper found schools
counted athletes who no longer
wanted to compete or never
played for that team, listing male
practice players as women and
trimming the rosters of mens
teams. The Times analyzed public
records from more than 20 uni-
versities andfederal participation
statistics fromall 345 institutions
in Division I.
Those of us in the business
knowthat universities have been
end-running Title IX for a long
time and they do it until they get
caught, Miami (Fla.) President
Donna Shalala told The Times.
National champion Texas A&M
and Duke are among the elite
womens basketball teams that
take advantage of a federal loop-
hole that allows them to report
male practice players as female
participants, the report said.
South Florida listed 71 mem-
bers of its womens cross country
team, andmore thanhalf failedto
run a race in 2009.
Passedin1972, Title IXis a fed-
eral law that bans sex discrimi-
nation in schools and opened ac-
ademic and sports opportunities
for women. Schools can comply
in one of three ways: show pro-
portionality of female athletes to
female students on campus;
demonstrate a history of increas-
ing sports for women; prove it
has met the interest and ability of
the underrepresented group.
Women have grown to 53% of
the student body at Division I
schools yet make up 46% of all
athletes.
Instead of putting money into
newwomens teams or trimming
the rosters of football, some
schools engage in roster man-
agement, The Times said. Shrink-
ing budgets can prompt such an
approach.
Unsafe stands: Illinois State
ofcials say the seats in the south
end zone of the schools football
stadium are unsafe and will be
torn down. Interim athletics di-
rector Larry Lyons said engineers
recently found that section of
Hancock Stadium to be structur-
ally unsound.
Lyons said the school planned
to erect temporary bleachers for
the marching band. The student
section will be moved. He said
the $350,000 project should be
nished in time for the 2011
football season. ISU spokesman
Todd Kober said Hancock Stadi-
um seats about 12,000 people.
That will drop to just less than
10,000 with the work.

Jim Tressel might have walked
into the NCAAs cross hairs at an
inopportune time, when college
athletics is roiling over a succes-
sion of high-prole infractions
cases and the new NCAA presi-
dent is striking a get-tough tone.
Theres no question that the
light is much brighter, former
NCAA infractions committee
chairman Tom Yeager says as
Ohio State and the NCAA work
througha case involving the illicit
sale of memorabilia by Buckeyes
football players and a decision by
Tressel, their coach, to keep his
knowledge of the violations from
school and NCAAofcials.
The NCAA detailed its charges
in an eight-page notice released
by the school Monday. It raised
questions about Tressels hon-
esty and integrity. Ohio State,
which faces institutional sanc-
tions related to the use of players
rendered technically ineligible
by the violations, has until July 5
to respond. The NCAA has ten-
tatively set a hearing for mid-
August.
The case involving major-
college footballs fth-winningest
program and its second-winnin-
gest active coach, behindonlyJoe
Paternois being cast as a test of
NCAA resolve and an opportuni-
ty to give future offenders pause.
In Houston before basketballs Fi-
nal Four less thanfour weeks ago,
President Mark Emmert pledged
to address integrity issues and
said, if necessary, the NCAA
would act to stiffen penalties in
a way that provides some sort of
constructive fear.
Yeager and other ofcials cau-
tion against viewing the Ohio
State outcome as symbolic, how-
ever. While Emmert can beef up
the NCAAs enforcement staff
and encourage it to be more ag-
gressive in rooting out wrong-
doing, the Committee on Infrac-
tions operates independently in
weighing evidence and preced-
ent, handing down verdicts and
meting out punishment.
In the case of Tressel and Ohio
State, says Yeager, the commis-
sioner of the Colonial Athletic As-
sociation, I can tell you the com-
mittee is going to be looking at it
in the context of other head foot-
ball coaches whove been in-
volved in similar-type things and
what the outcome was there.
The panel handled a similarly
high-prole case a year ago, hit-
ting Southern Californias mar-
quee football program with stiff
sanctions, including a two-year
bowl ban.
I dont know that they were
necessarily trying to send a mes-
sage, says Oklahoma lawprofes-
sor David Swank, another former
infractions committee chairman.
What you had was very serious
violations (revolving around illicit
extra benets that a San Diego
businessmanandformer market-
ing agent provided Reggie Bush
and his family). . . .
The committee looks at it and
says, Inlight of the seriousness of
the violations, what it the appro-
priate penalty?
Tressel has agreed to a ve-
game suspension at the start of
next season, but anNCAAnding
that he engaged in unethical con-
duct could lead the infractions
committee to extend that. Ohio
State might have to vacate reg-
ular-season wins in which quar-
terback Terrelle Pryor and other
implicated players took part.
It will take more than coming
down hard on the Buckeyes to
impress some.
I would only think theres a
turnaround in NCAA attitudes
when this case and the next
ve cases endupwithsanctions,
says Nathan Tublitz, a biology
professor who heads Oregons
university senate and is a for-
mer chairman of the Coalition
on Intercollegiate Athletics, a
watchdog consortium of faculty
senates.
Its such a high-prole school
and such a high-prole case and
it seems open and shut. . . . Its
obvious therell have to be conse-
quences. My worry is, with other
schools that arent so high-prole
and where it may not be so open
and shut, that instead of drawing
the line and sticking to it, the
NCAAwill back off.

The last we saw of the LPGA
tour, Stacy Lewis was jumping
into Poppies Pond by the 18th
hole of the Dinah Shore Tourna-
ment Course to celebrate her
three-stroke triumph in the Kraft
Nabisco Championship, the rst
major of the season.
On April 3.
Long breaks are a realityfor the
LPGA, where during the 40
weeks fromtheopener tothelast
tournament, 14 are dark, includ-
ing the recent 21 days off and
three 14-day breaks. Conse-
quently, players have learned to
adjust their off time to maximize
their chances of staying in form
when tournaments are played.
For many players in the Avnet
LPGA Classic, which begins
Thursday in Mobile, Ala., that
meant taking vacations, visiting
swing coaches and going to the
Masters. Others played golf, in-
cluding Anna Nordqvist and
Sophie Gustafson, who formed
Team Sweden to win the Euro-
pean Ladies Golf Cup in Spain.
Eight LPGA tour players teed up
in a SunCoast Ladies Series mini-
tour event in Apopka, Fla., that
was won by Chella Choi.
As for Lewis, she couldnt sleep
for two days after passing Yani
Tseng onthe back nine towinher
rst major title. Once she got
home to Arkansas, she gave in-
terviews to local stations, spend-
ing 12 consecutive days doing at
least one interviewa day.
I nally called my agent and
saidI just couldnt doanymore if I
wanted to get ready for this
week, saidLewis, whoheadlines
a eldthat has eight of the top-10
players in the Rolex Rankings.
No. 2 Jiyai Shinand No. 7 I.K. Kim
are playing in Japan.
Lewis visitedher coachtorefo-
cus on the things that led her to
the Kraft Nabisco win and also
watched the Arkansas womens
golf team play in the Southeast-
ern Conference championships.
Her long break ended with a solo
10-hour drive to Mobile after
storms hit Arkansas and she
couldnt get to the airport.
Im not sure I could have
played the week after Nabisco
because I was riding such a high,
but last week, I was ready to play
again, Lewis said. It got to be
too much time off. But I went to
work with my instructor to get
back on track. Imready to go.
Paige Mackenzie looks at this
week as a break after staying
busy for three weeks working on
her tan, tying for second behind
Choi in the minitour event and
conducting a clinic at the Golf
Club at Newcastle near Seattle.
In my college days, I played
some of my best competitive golf
when I was really busy and was
inschool full time. It made golf an
escape. If all of a sudden golf feels
like a job, then it becomes real
hard, said Mackenzie, who had

Playoff results, schedule
Although the NBA collective
bargaining agreement does not
expire until July 1 and the
league and players could reach a
deal before a lockout, the impact
of a labor stoppage is mounting:
uSome NBA head coaches
and assistants, especially those
hired in the past year or two,
have lockout language in their
contracts that potentially could
prevent themfromgetting paid.
uNational teams set to com-
pete in important tournaments
this summer are concerned they
wont be able to obtain insur-
ance at reasonable rates on play-
ers contracts, which the NBA
has helped provide via a broker.
uThe NBA did not schedule
2011-12 preseason games in
Europe or Asia.
uThe leagues popular Las
Vegas Summer League, which
offers rookies and young players
a chance to learn and impress,
runs the risk of cancellation.
uThe Los Angeles Lakers did
not offer contracts to four train-
ing staff members for next sea-
son in a cost-cutting move be-
fore a possible lockout, the Los
Angeles Times reported.
uA judges decision Monday
to endthe NFL lockout is regard-
edas a winfor prosports unions.
The National Basketball Players
Association has gotten enough
signatures to approve a decerti-
cation vote, which could make
a lockout wieldy for the owners.
Decertication is a very seri-
ous action, and this is a very se-
rious time for us in these labor
negotiations. Youhave tobe pre-
pared to use all of the available
means to get something done,
Miami Heat forward and NBPA
secretary-treasurer James Jones
told USATODAYthis season.
The generic lockout language
in contracts states a coach will
be paidno less thanhalf his sala-
ryif more than41games are lost
and will be paid on a prorated
basis if more than 41 but not all
games are played. There is also
concern coaches salaries will
decrease as the league seeks a
neweconomic model.
Coaching salaries have al-
ways been a market unto itself,
said Michael Goldberg, NBA
Coaches Association executive
director. Some coaches may be
affected by the overall market-
place. If teams arent making
money, salaries could go down.
Many of the NBAs big-name
international players, suchas Ar-
gentinas Luis Scola (Houston
Rockets) and Italys Andrea
Bargnani (Toronto Raptors), are
scheduled to play in Olympic-
qualifying tournaments this
summer. But that could be in
jeopardy if national teams dont
have access to the NBAs insur-
ance broker during a lockout.
France, looking into insuring
NBA contracts on ve players,
foundcosts as muchas $2.9 mil-
lioncomparedwithmid-ve g-
ures through the league. Euro-
peannational teams are working
withthe international federation
(FIBA) to nd a company that
can insure multiple contracts at
more affordable rates.
Puerto Rico Basketball Feder-
ation President Carlos Beltran
said FIBA Americas is doing the
same. We are prepared for
Plan B, he said.

CHICAGO As usual, Derrick
Rose was the difference. This
time, however, it was in the third
quarter and with three-point
shots.
Rose, the presumptive NBA
Most Valuable Player whose late-
game heroics saved the Bulls in
the rst three games of their
rst-round series, scored 25
points in three quarters Tuesday
night as the No. 1-seeded Chi-
cago Bulls eliminated the Indiana
Pacers with a 116-89 victory at
United Center.
The Bulls won the series 4-1,
advancing past the rst round for
the rst time in four seasons.
Chicago will play the Atlanta
Hawks-Orlando Magic winner.
Im just glad we nally put a
great game together. Theres still
a lot of mistakes out there, but
that was our best game, said
forward Luol Deng, who scored
24 points.
Rose, showing no signs of the
sprained left ankle that limited
his effectiveness in Game 4, left
after committing his fth foul 30
seconds into the fourth quarter,
and his services were no longer
needed in the blowout.
Im speechless right now. I
really cant believe it, Rose said
of his rst playoff series win in
three tries.
For the rst time in the series,
the Bulls took control early
jumping toa 14-2leadinthe rst
three minutes and never
trailed.
But the Pacers fought back,
closing to 61-57 midway through
the third quarter with Rose on
the bench with four fouls.
Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau
gambled by reinserting Rose
with 6:17 left in the period. The
6-3 point guard promptly
sparked a 14-3 run, hitting three
three-point jumpers, blocking a
shot from 7-2 Roy Hibbert and
adding a steal and a free throw.
The 3
1
2-minute binge boosted
Chicagos lead to 75-60.
I wanted to go back in and
told him I wouldnt foul any
more, Rose said of his conversa-
tion with Thibodeau.
JoakimNoahplaying infront
of his grandfather for the rst
time had 14 points and eight
rebounds. Supercharged even by
his standards, Noah at one point
beat his chest as he walked upan
aisle in the end-zone stands after
drawing a foul. Noahs grandfa-
ther, Zacharie, who lives in Ca-
meroon, was shown on the Unit-
ed Center video board as Joakim
clapped.
Magic 101, Hawks 76
Orlando isnt ready for its sea-
son to end just yet. Facing their
rst opening-round postseason
exit since 2007, the Magic blew
out Atlanta.
Jason Richardson scored 17
points and J.J. Redick added 14
off the bench to lead the Magic.
The win trimmed Atlantas se-
ries lead to 3-2 and kept alive
Orlandos hopes of becoming the
ninth teamin NBAhistory to win
a playoff series after trailing 3-1.
If the Magic can win Game 6
on Thursday in Atlanta, they
would host a decisive Game 7 on
Saturday.
Magic center Dwight Howard
battled foul trouble and had one
eld goal, nishing with eight
points. Orlando didnt need his
offense, though, as it broke out of
a shooting funk with 11 three-
pointers.
Were a good shooting team,
Magic coach Stan Van Gundy
said. This is more of us than
what we showed in the rst four
games. This isnt an aberration.

The Miami Heats late-game
performance has been scruti-
nized all season.
The issue was magnied again
after Philadelphia 76ers forward
Elton Brand blocked LeBron
James game-tying shot attempt
with3.8seconds left inthe 76ers
Game 4 win Sunday.
The Heat this season are 1-
for-19onshots inthe nal 10sec-
onds of a game whentheyre tied
or trail by three points or fewer,
including 0-for-1 in the playoffs.
Nineteen attempts is a tiny
sliver of the teams overall play.
But that 5.5% conversion rate
was the worst in the league dur-
ing the regular season, according
to Elias Sports Bureau. James is 1-
for-8, and Dwyane Wade is 0-
for-5.
At the start of the season, the
question was who would take
the nal shot Wade or James?
The discussion now, entering
todays Game 5 of the Eastern
Conference rst-round series
with Miami ahead 3-1: Who can
make a last-second shot?
Its a concern. Its been a con-
cern. . . . Id just broaden that to
late-game situations where they
obviously need a basket, ESPN/
ABC analyst Jon Barry said.
Theleagueaverageinthosesit-
uations during the regular season
was 25.9%, with the Dallas Mav-
ericks best at 4-for-7 (57.1%). The
Boston Celtics, who await the
winner of the 76ers-Heat series,
were 2-for-14 (14.3%).
Through Mondays postseason
action, teams were 1-for-12
(8.3%) on shots in the nal 10
seconds when tied or trailing by
three points or fewer.
We got away from some of
the details and the discipline of
our execution down the stretch,
and we paid for it really on both
ends, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra
said after Game 4.
Several factors contribute to
making the nal seconds of a
close game so much different
fromthe rest of the action.
The defense tries to play tight-
er, often maximizing matchups.
And with the game clock dwin-
dling, the offensive team might
not take the best shot.
For teams not making shots in
those situations, it becomes a
psychological hurdle, as well,
Barry noted. Here we go again.
Weve proven we have not done
this verywell. Thentheres Who
do you go to? Its a problem.
Guys will look at each other.
How many times is this going to
happen? Weve got to nd some-
one to close the deal.
Clutch time is generally re-
garded as a players or teams
performance with less than ve
minutes to play and the scoring
margin within ve points.
In that situation, James and
Wade rank among the best in the
league in points scored, plus-mi-
nus (a measurement of points
scored and points allowed when
a player is on the court) and free
throws attempted per 48 min-
utes of clutch time.
But not Sunday. We have the
ability to close out a team, and
we just didnt, Spoelstra said.

Heat often go cold

USATODAY
Hes a few months shy of 40
and coming off a sluggish perfor-
mance against an inferior oppo-
nent. He has two losses and a
draw in his last ve ghts and
nds himself constantly being
questioned about losing much of
the hand and foot speed that
made him one of the great ght-
ers of his generation.
So Sugar Shane Mosley must
be ready for boxings scrap heap,
forced to take cheap ghts
against rising stars just to provide
a name for the promotion, right?
Wrong.
Mosley remains a major draw,
getting the best ghts and big-
gest paydays that can be made in
the sport. He has fought two of
boxings biggest draws in the last
three years, FloydMayweather Jr.
and Miguel Cotto, losing unani-
mous decisions to both.
And despite a draw vs. Sergio
Mora in his last ght, Mosley will
again be on boxings main stage
May 7 when he takes on global
superstar Manny Pacquiao in a
welterweight title ght (Show-
time pay-per-view, 9 p.m. ET) at
MGMGrand in Las Vegas.
Mosley (46-6-1, 39 KOs) is get-
ting maximum exposure as Pac-
quiaos handpickedopponent. He
is part of Showtimes reality se-
ries Fight Camp 360, of which the
hour-long Part 3 will be aired at
8 p.m. ET Saturday on Show-
times parent company, CBS.
According to Pacquiaos pro-
moter, Bob Arum of Top Rank,
Mosley is guaranteed $5 million
for the ght while Pacquiao is
guaranteed $20 million.
Asked during a conference call
Tuesdayhowhe keeps gettingbig
ghts, the former four-time
champion cited knockout power.
People see my power, and
they knowthat its going to be an
exciting ght, he said. If (oppo-
nents) can get past the power,
they can win the ght.
And the fans choose to see
knockouts. What kind of risks do
they take? Is Shane going to
knock Manny out, or is Manny
going to knock Shane out?
Whats going to happen?
The unpredictability in the
ght. Thats what gets people
aroused. Anything can happen.
Mosleys trainer, Naazim Rich-
ardson, who also trains ageless
wonder Bernard Hopkins, says
people shouldnt put too much
stock into Mosleys age.
You saw the Erik Morales (vs.
Marcos Maidana) ght. You saw
the (Jean) Pascal-Hopkins ght,
Richardson said. We keep trot-
ting these older guys out. These
arent just old men who box.
These are legendary ghters who
have age on themnow.
Theres a difference between
a legendary ghter who has age
and an old boxer. . . . We
shouldnt count out these older
guys. We forget that they were
special. And when special gets
old, it can still be extraordinary.
Older usually means slower for
a ghter. But Mosley answers the
question of whether his speed is
enoughto keep up withPacquiao
(52-3-2, 38 KOs), an ultra-quick
punching machine, in two
words: Antonio Margarito.
Mosley and Pacquiao handily
defeated Margarito: Mosley by a
ninth-round TKO, and Pacquiao
by a punishing 12-round deci-
sion. But Mosleys win came on
the night Margarito was caught
with a hardened substance in his
hand wraps, while Pacquiaos
came after Margaritos lengthy
suspensioninthe USAfor the ille-
gal wraps.
Margarito landed the most
punches ever on Manny Pac-
quiao, Mosley said. If Margarito
is fast enough to land punches on
Pacquiao, I knowImfast enough
to land punches on Pacquiao.
Boxing
40ish and facing Pacquiao, Mosley still talks of power in his punch
By ReedSaxon, AP
Too old? Nah: Trainer NaazimRichardson, right, says, We shouldnt
count out these older guys, referring to Shane Mosley and others.

NFL draft
.
PREVIEW
WAYNE, Pa. When former
Boston College linebacker Mark
Herzlich is selected in the NFL
draft, probably not until the mid-
dle or late rounds, it will repre-
sent a personal triumph greater
than few other prospects could
possibly know.
Doctors had given him a 70%
chance of surviving Ewings sar-
coma a form of cancer that at-
tacks bone and a 0% chance of
playingfootball againwhena ma-
lignant tumor was discovered in
his left leg in May 2009.
Herzlich had appeared to be
well on his way toward devel-
oping intoone of the nations pre-
mier players before that, dom-
inating the Atlantic Coast
Conference as its defensive player
of the year in 2008. He refused to
accept that it had all ended there.
If Herzlich was going to ght
for his life, keeping alive his NFL
dream had to be part of the
struggle.
Ive talked to a lot of people
going through cancer right now,
he says. And the biggest prob-
lem they have is not having that
light at the end of the tunnel, not
having a goal. My goal happened
to be running out of the tunnel
with my team.
He went against the advice of
some doctors by opting for treat-
ment offering some hope for a re-
turn to the eld. The tumor was
ultimately eradicated through in-
tensive chemotherapy and radia-
tion treatments. A 12-inch titani-
um rod was permanently
inserted to stabilize his leg.
What about the doctors who
pushed for extensive surgery as a
safer route, even if it meant he
had played his last down?
I couldnt accept it, he says,
because I would knowthat can-
cer would have beaten me. Even
if I came back healthy, taking
away from me something I love
was defeat in my eyes.
It was a gamble. I guess I was
gambling withmy ownlife. But in
the end, it was my choice.
The decision was in keeping
with his ultra-competitive na-
ture. Dont give an inch; take
from your opponent everything
you can.
That is the way he played in
2008, when his athleticism and
intelligence let him roam from
sideline to sideline and make 110
tackles. He also had six intercep-
tions, returning two for touch-
downs; defended eight passes;
forced two fumbles; recovered
two fumbles; and yanked down
13 ballcarriers for losses.
If you had drafted after the
2008season, whenhe was defen-
sive player of the year in the ACC
and was just a magnicent foot-
ball player, he would have been a
top-10 pick, says former Dallas
Cowboys personnel expert Gil
Brandt, nowwith NFL.com.
The seasonwas so magical that
teammates could not wait to see
the tape as soon as it was avail-
able after games. He did things
that year, fullback Codi Boek
says, that you watch it on lm
and say, You really did that,
Mark?
Boek was equally mystied by
the back pain that frequently
woke his roommate shortly after
that season ended. Herzlich (6-4,
244 pounds) had played through
all kinds of physical issues. He
had never known such agony.
It would be hard for himto be
in the room, because I would
wake up screaming, Herzlich
says of his roommate for their last
three years in college.
Finally, after a series of tests
were negative, an MRI detected
the tumor on his left femur, or
thigh bone.
Then came the agonizing wait
for doctors to determine whether
a form of cancer that strikes one
in 600,000 people had gone
through his bloodstream and
spread to his lungs. The survival
rate for those patients then
shrinks to 10%.
The good news came that the
malignancy was conned to his
leg.
Once that determination was
made, Herzlich acted as if he was
bearing down on a slow-footed
quarterback. Even as he sat out
the 2009 season, he all but as-
sured teammates that cancer had
no chance against him.
It really amazed me, fromthe
rst time he was diagnosed, how
upbeat he was, Boek says. It
was, Imgoing to beat it andstick
to what I want to be.
Says Danielle Conti, his girl-
friend since October 2009, If he
sets his mind to something, its
absolutely going to happen, no
matter what.
The only fear Herzlich ever ex-
pressed to Boek was that the
massive doses of chemotherapy
that already had caused his hair
to fall out would also cost himhis
eyebrows. When his eyebrows
went the way of his hair, he made
the most of it by using whiteout
above his eyes and attending a
Halloween Party as Mr. Clean.
Herzlichs comeback was hurt
last June by a stress fracture inhis
right foot, which forced him to
miss all but a couple of practices
before the opener.
He basically started the sea-
son without any preseason and
played his way into shape, Bos-
ton College coach Frank Spaziani
says.
Another setback came when
he broke his left hand during the
fourth game last season. He n-
ished the year ranked third on
the team with 65 tackles to go
with four interceptions.
Herzlich acknowledges he was
often a step slow. His sluggish
4.92 time in the 40-yard dash at
the scouting combine inFebruary
suggests he remains a work in
progress.
The farther he gets away from
cancer and his treatments, the
better he is, says agent TomCon-
don, adding that doctors think
the chance the disease will recur
is very low.
As much as some team must
take a leap of faith that Herzlich
can make it all the way back, ev-
erything about him suggests that
is a chance worth taking.

just for a spell

InMinnesota, U.S. District Judge Susan
Richard Nelson has ordered the NFL to
end its player lockout.
Many questions remain. The answers
are works in progress:
Q: How big was the players court
win?
A: In sports terms, this one hasnt
gone nal. Think of it as a 10-0 lead in
the rst quarter for the players. I think
its a victory. . . . They won the battle
but not the war, says MatthewCantor, a
New York-based antitrust lawyer who is
not afliated with the players or owners.
Q: Is the lockout is over?
A: Its not over till its over. After the
ruling Monday, the NFL led an appeal
with the Eighth Circuit Court. It also
asked the judge to delay the order pend-
ing that appeal. She has yet to rule on
that. Says Cantor, I doubt that Judge
Nelsonis goingtostayher ownorder. My
feeling is that by early next week, shell
deny the motion for the stay.
Q: If no stay is granted, what next?
A: The NFL can ask the Eighth Circuit
for a stay. That wouldcertainlybea like-
ly step, says Jeff Pash, NFL executive
vice president and general counsel.
Q: If the NFL doesnt get a stay and
must comply with the order, under
what system does it return to opera-
tion when it comes to matters such
as player signings and revenue shar-
ing?
A: The last sentence of the judges rul-
ing: The lockout is enjoined. Hold it
here. Pash says that in the leagues view
there is still a considerable degree of
uncertainty about what that speci-
cally means when it comes to matters
such as what youre required to do,
what youre forbidden from doing and
what youre permitted to do.
The league could revert to the system
inplace last season. That includednosal-
ary cap for teams. But whatever system
the league puts in place, it will run a risk
down the road of money damages if the
players wintheir antitrust suit. Says Can-
tor: I thinkthe NFL nowis doing a rigor-
ous analysis with their antitrust counsel.
. . . Theyre thinking about what rules
canwe live withfromanantitrust stand-
point at this point in time.
Q: If theres no stay, when might
teams start signing free agents and
negotiating contracts with veterans
androokies?
A: Pash says the timetable for that is
uncertain, pending resolution of linger-
ing legal uncertainties. He says that,
should the time come to begin such op-
erations, We would be prepared to
move promptly and ensure that all the
clubs had the necessary information,
make sure that we acted in a way that
was orderly and businesslike, consistent
with the court order.
Q: What are the NFLs chances of
getting the order to end the lockout
overturned?
A: Cantor says that, in ruling the play-
ers would be irreparably harmed by the
lockout, Judge Nelson cited many trial
court cases.
But she only cites trial court cases
that held that, because there have not
been any appellate court cases that held
that, Cantor says. So this issue as to
whether the players really incurred ir-
reparable harm . . . is going to be some-
thing that is substantially litigated in the
Eighth Circuit.
Pash: We believe we have very cred-
ible legal arguments.
Players attorney James Quinn: It was
a very well-reasoned decision with 89
pages of analysis. Its very likely it will
withstand any appeals.
Q: Could the two sides settle while
the case is still incourt?
A: Yes. The question is: Will they?
Cantor says, This is all trying to get legal
leverage for the ultimate settlement. . . .
I certainly dont believe there is not go-
ing to be a season in 2011.

Alex Burrows took advantage
of a giveaway in overtime as the
Vancouver Canucks beat the Chi-
cago Blackhawks and avoided a
collapse with a 2-1 Game 7 win.
The Canucks ledthe series 3-0,
but the defending champs won
three in a row against the team
they ousted the past two years.
Chicago gave itself another
chance when Jonathan Toews
forced overtime by scoring a
short-handed goal with 1:56 left.
It was his rst goal of the series.
But Burrows intercepted a
Chris Campoli clearing pass and
blasted a shot past Corey Craw-
ford at 5:22. He factored in all of
the Canucks offense, scoring
2:34 into the game and being
stopped on a penalty shot. He
also took an overtime penalty,
but Vancouver killed it off.
The Canucks will face the
Nashville Predators next.
USA adds offense
Team USA, looking to bolster
its offense for the world champi-
onships, addedNewYorkRangers
rookie center Derek Stepan and
AnaheimDucks puck-moving de-
fenseman CamFowler.
Stepan scored 21 goals for the
Rangers during the regular sea-
son, making himthe only 20-goal
scorer on the U.S. roster. Before
his selection, the Atlanta Thrash-
ers Blake Wheeler was the USAs
top scorer with 18 goals.
Stepan had a tournament-best
14 points when the USA won the
2010 world junior champion-
ships.
Fowler will join with Kevin
Shattenkirk (St. Louis Blues) to
give the Americans two skilled
point men for the power play.
The Americans also added
Rangers rookie defenseman Ryan
McDonagh, strengthening the
teams strong suit. The Toronto
Maple Leafs Mike Komisarek, the
Thrashers Mark Stuart, the Flori-
da Panthers Clay Wilson and the
New Jersey Devils Mark Fayne
also are on the squad.
Versus will televise U.S. games,
and Devils winger Zach Parise
will serve as the in-studio host.
Sigh of relief for Sharks
It took three overtime wins
and a memorable comeback for
the San Jose Sharks to get past a
short-handed Los Angeles Kings
teamin the rst round.
The journey gures only to get
more difcult in the second
round for the Sharks, who next
face the Detroit Red Wings in
their quest to win the Stanley
Cup for the rst time.
The Sharks had to kill a ve-
minute major penalty just before
Joe Thornton scored the game-
winner. That followed overtime
wins in Game 1 at home and
Game 3 in Los Angeles, where
they overcome a four-goal decit.
We dont do anything easy,
coach Todd McLellan said. There
is some resiliency in the locker
room. The leadership showed
through when it had to.
Trophy nalists
Ducks goalie Ray Emery, Calga-
ry Flames forward Daymond
Langkow and Philadelphia Flyers
forward Ian Laperriere were
named nalists for the Masterton
Trophy for perseverance.

Stanley Cupplayoffs
In a series that went the dis-
tance, Brian Boucher did the
same in Game 7.
Backed by a burst of early
goals, Boucher gets another
round to prove hes the goalie
who can lead the Philadelphia
Flyers to their rst Stanley Cup
championship since 1975.
Boucher stopped 26 shots and
Philadelphia advanced to the
Eastern Conference seminals
witha 5-2winagainst the Buffalo
Sabres in Game 7 of their rst-
round series Tuesday night.
Theres going to be days
when things dont go your way,
Boucher said. But you have to
play through it.
No one did it quite like Bou-
cher.
He was the Game 1 backup,
won Games 2 and 6 in relief and,
when swapping goalies became
the avor of the series, was the
last winner standing.
Ive had to deal with adversi-
ty a lot in my career, and some-
how I keep sticking around, he
said. I always try to say, even
when things are down, that
these things nd a way to work
themselves out. And in this se-
ries, it did.
Boucher made his rst Game 7
start for theFlyers sincethe2000
East nals vs. the New Jersey
Devils. He bounced around with
ve other teams and is in his
third stop in the Flyers organiza-
tion.
He watched from 180 feet
away when Ryan Miller was the
goalie chased after Philadelphia
raced to a 4-0 lead. It was a
switch fromthe rest of the series
when the Flyers had trouble in
the net. They started three goal-
ies in seven games, but Boucher
was stout for all 60 minutes in
the series clincher.
Braydon Coburn, Danny Bri-
ere, James van Riemsdyk and
Ville Leino scored against Miller.
We had big-time players
score big-time goals, Flyers cap-
tain Mike Richards said.
Canadiens 2, Bruins 1
Michael Cammalleri and Brian
Gionta eachscoredve-on-three
goals for Montreal.
In less than 24 hours weve
got to do it all over again, and
(the win) gets forgotten really
quickly depending on the (Game
7) result, said Cammalleri, who
scoredinthe rst andassistedon
Giontas goal in the second.
Game 7 is tonight in Boston,
which is bidding to win for the
ninthtime in33playoff meetings
between the rivals.
Its win or youre done, said
Bruins goalie Tim Thomas, who
stopped 25 shots. If we play the
same way we did to win the
three, well win the fourth.
The Canadiens improved to
6-1 in playoff games in which
they have faced elimination, dat-
ing to last years run to the East-
ern Conference nal.
Carey Price made 31 saves.
The Canadiens had lost three
in a row, including the previous
two in overtime, after winning
the rst two games on the road.
Dennis Seidenberg scored for
Boston, which played more than
half of the game without ejected
winger Milan Lucic but still out-
shot Montreal 32-27.
Obviously when its ve-on-
three its harder tokeepthe puck
out of the net, Thomas said.
The Bruins went 0-for-3onthe
power play and have yet to con-
vert a chance in18 opportunities
through the rst six games.
The power plays been strug-
gling, and they won the game
because of that tonight, because
of their power play, center Pa-
trice Bergeron said. Weve got
to nd a way and bear down.

Real Salt Lake general manager
Garth Lagerwey sees the oppor-
tunity in tonights CONCACAF
Champions League nal (10 p.m.
ET, Fox Soccer Channel). Not just
for his team, but for the state of
U.S. soccer.
Lagerwey thinks Real Salt Lake
advancing from tonights second
leg of a total-goals nal against
Mexican side Monterrey will go a
long way inhelping Major League
Soccer win over American fans.
Real Salt Lake can be the rst
MLS team to advance to the FIFA
Club World Cup in December
with a victory, scoreless tie or 1-1
tie at home. A 2-2 tie would lead
to extra time.
We need fans of soccer in the
United States to pay attention to
our league, Lagerwey said Mon-
day in a conference call with re-
porters when asked if his teams
success will lead MLS teams to
put more emphasis on Champi-
ons League play. Right nowthey
dont. A lot of those people are
going to deny and say theyd
rather get up on Saturday morn-
ing and watch the EPL and that
American soccer sucks.
We get more respect outside
our countrythanwe doinside it. I
think well win over a whole
bunch of fans who simply cant
ignore us if were able to win and
achieve consistent success.
RSL has not lost at Rio Tinto
Stadium in its last 34 games, a
streak dating to May 2009. To-
nights game is a sellout with
more than 20,000 expected.
Salt Lake will be without cap-
tain Kyle Beckerman, whos out
after receiving a yellow card (his
second of the tournament) dur-
ing the 2-2 tie at Monterrey last
Wednesday. RSL needed a goal
by Javier Morales in the 89th
minute to secure the tie.
When you are on the road in
an environment like Monterrey,
you are going to have letdowns.
We were fatigued, said RSL de-
fender Nat Borchers, who also
scored against Monterrey. They
are going to have to deal with our
altitude, our energy, our fans.
Two MLS teams have won the
continental championship D.C.
United in 1998 and the Los Ange-
les Galaxy in 2000 but the
competition was smaller then.
Red Devils roll: Second-half
goals from veterans Ryan Giggs
and Wayne Rooney lifted Man-
chester United to a 2-0 road win
against Schalke on Tuesday in the
opening leg of their UEFA Cham-
pions League seminal.
Schalke goalkeeper Manuel
Neuer denied United several
times before 37-year-old Giggs
broke the deadlock in the 67th
minute. The return leg is next
Wednesday in Manchester.
Spanish series: In the other
seminal, Real Madrid hosts rival
Barcelona today (2:45 p.m. ET,
Fox Soccer Channel).
The Spanish league sides are
meeting for the third time in 12
days and will play a fourth time
in less than three weeks with
their second-leg match in Barce-
lona on Tuesday.
Its the Champions League
seminal between two teams
that knoweach other, two teams
with tradition, two teams with
success who have wonbig games
before. There exists no favorite,
Real Madrid coach Jose Mourin-
ho said.
The teams played to a 1-1 tie in
Madrid on April 16 during league
play. Four days later, Real beat
Barcelona 1-0 in extra time to
win its rst Copa del Rey in 18
years andcollect its rst trophyin
almost three seasons.
Both will be without key play-
ers today. Barcelonas Andres In-
iesta is out witha leg injury while
Madrids ball-winning midelder
Sami Khedira is nursing a muscle
ailment. Their backlines could be
exposed, with injuries ravaging
Barcelona at left back and Madrid
central defender Ricardo Carval-
ho serving a suspension.

rey will have to deal with our altitude, our energy, our fans.
Whats up: After the PittsburghPenguins tooka 3-1leadinthe
best-of-seven series, the Tampa Bay Lightning have fought back
to force a Game 7.
Goaltenders: Pittsburghs Marc-Andre Fleury (3-3, 2.77
goals-against average, .890 save percentage) vs. Tampa Bays
Dwayne Roloson (3-3, 2.05. 941). Fleury was MVP-caliber in the
second half of the season, but his save percentage is off in the
playoffs. Roloson has been a stabilizing force for the Lightning.
Storyline: The Lightning are 8-for-25 on the power play and
the Penguins are 1-for-30. Withtheir two topscorers out within-
juries, the Pens have struggled to nd the net. They are looking
for someone to step up, with Jordan Staal the most likely candi-
date. The Lightning have more offensive weapons and are using
them all. Martin St. Louis, Simon Gagne, Vincent Lecavalier and
Steve Downie are averaging at least a point a game. Having won
the Stanley Cup in 2009, the Penguins should be the more con-
dent team, but the Lightning seem to have the most swagger,
and they are improving every game.
Whos hot: Downie has one goal, ve assists and leads his
teamat plus 4.
Whos not: Pittsburgh RW Alexei Kovalev. Theres a debate
among fans about whether he should be benched for Game 7.
He has one goal and is minus 3. He hasnt produced like the Pens
thought he would whenthey got himfromthe Ottawa Senators.
Bottom line: The Pens have to resolve their power play de-
ciencies to win Game 7 because the Lightning are scoring better
than three goals a game.

Whats up: The Montreal Canadiens defeated the Boston Bru-
ins 2-1 Tuesday to force Game 7. Every game has been a one-goal
game or felt like one.
Goaltenders: Bostons TimThomas (3-3, 2.19goals-against av-
erage, .927 save percentage) vs. Montreals Carey Price (3-3, 2.00,
.938). Thomas deserves the Vezina Trophy and Carey Price de-
serves a medal for playing brilliantly this season while facing
more pressure than any other NHL player. He has given the Cana-
diens a chance inthe postseason, just the way since-tradedJaros-
lav Halak did last season.
Story line: This has been a goaltending series, and both teams
have a difference-maker in net. But the Canadiens top skaters,
Mike Cammalleri and Brian Gionta, have been more productive
than Bostons top offensive players. The Bruins havent scored on
the power play, and they looked highly disorganized at times
with the extra man in Game 6. The Canadiens won Game 6 be-
cause they scored two 5-on-3 power-play goals. The Canadiens
won two road Game 7s last season, so the Bruins will have to
come out aggressively to take advantage of home ice. But that can
be tricky because they also must stay out of the penalty box.
Whos hot: Cammalleri leads the Canadiens with three goals
and six assists.
Whos not: Montreal C Scott Gomez hasnt scored a goal in 34

Update
Aquick read on the news of the day
The Factor is out of the May 7 Kentucky Derby.
Trainer Bob Baffert said the 3-year-old colt was
still recuperating fromthroat surgery after nishing
seventh in the Arkansas Derby on April 16.
The Factor appeared to be an early favorite after
winning the San Vicente Stakes and Rebel Stakes
over the winter. But he faded in the stretch in the
Arkansas Derby, behind winner Archarcharch.
A postrace examination discovered a ipped pal-
ate, leading to minor throat surgery. The procedure,
combined with The Factors preference to run from
the front, left Baffert wary about his horse handling
the 1
1
4-mile Derby distance.
Meanwhile, trainer ToddPletcher says hes opti-
mistic contender Uncle Mo will be able to run. Af-
ter the 3-year-old colt worked 5 furlongs at Chur-
chill Downs, Pletcher said Uncle Mo looked in good
form on the same track where he captured the
Breeders CupJuvenile inthe fall. Pletcher andown-
er Mike Repole have been monitoring Uncle Mo
since his third-place nishinthe WoodMemorial at
Aqueduct Racetrack in NewYork on April 9.
The horse was diagnosed with a gastrointestinal
infection after the race. Pletcher says Uncle Mo has
been responding well to treatment.

LIVER
DIGESTIVE
TRACT
Having trouble paying for your Merck medicine?
Merck may be able to help. www.merck.com/merckhelps
Copyright 2011 Merck/Schering-Plough Pharmaceuticals, a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc.
All rights reserved. CARD-1003742-0001 ZETIA is a registered trademark of MSP Singapore Company, LLC.
Statins, a good option,
work mainly with
the liver.
ZETIA works in
the digestive tract,
as do some other
cholesterol-lowering
medicines.
Cholesterol from
food is absorbed
when it enters the
digestive tract.
ZETIA is unique
in the way it helps
block the absorption
of cholesterol that
comes from food.
Unlike some statins,
ZETIA has not been
shown to prevent
heart disease
or heart attacks.
Ask your doctor if
adding ZETIA
is right for you.
A different way to help ght cholesterol
A healthy diet and exercise are important, but
sometimes theyre not enough to get your cholesterol
where it needs to be. If youre also taking a statin,
ZETIA can help lower your LDL (bad) cholesterol
even further. In a clinical study, people who added
ZETIA to their statin medication reduced their
bad cholesterol on average by an additional 25%
compared with 4% in people who added a placebo
(a pill with no medication). Individual results vary.
Important Risk Information About ZETIA: ZETIA
is a prescription medicine and should not be taken
by people who are allergic to any of its ingredients.
ZETIA can be taken alone or with a statin. Statins
should not be taken by women who are nursing
or pregnant or who may become pregnant, or by
anyone with liver problems. If you have ever had liver
problems or are pregnant or nursing, your doctor
will decide if ZETIA alone is right for you. Your doctor
may do blood tests to check your liver before you start
taking ZETIA with a statin and during treatment.
Unexplained muscle pain or weakness could be a sign
of a rare but serious side effect and should be reported
to your doctor right away. In clinical studies, patients
reported few side effects while taking ZETIA. These

*Not all patients are eligible.
No purchase necessary.
Restrictions apply.
See Terms and Conditions.
Read this information carefully before you start
taking ZETIA and each time you get more ZETIA.
There may be new information. This information
does not take the place of talking with your doctor
about your medical condition or your treatment.
If you have any questions about ZETIA, ask your
doctor. Only your doctor can determine if ZETIA is
right for you.
WHAT IS ZETIA?
ZETIA is a medicine used to lower levels of total
cholesterol and LDL (bad) cholesterol in the blood.
ZETIA is for patients who cannot control their
cholesterol levels by diet and exercise alone.
It can be used by itself or with other medicines
to treat high cholesterol. You should stay on a
cholesterol-lowering diet while taking this
medicine.
ZETIA works to reduce the amount of cholesterol
your body absorbs. ZETIA does not help you lose
weight. ZETIA has not been shown to prevent
heart disease or heart attacks.
For more information about cholesterol, see the
What should I know about high cholesterol?
section that follows.
WHO SHOULD NOT TAKE ZETIA?
Do not take ZETIA if you are allergic to
ezetimibe, the active ingredient in ZETIA, or
to the inactive ingredients. For a list of inactive
ingredients, see the Inactive ingredients
section that follows.
If you have active liver disease, do not take
ZETIA while taking cholesterol-lowering
medicines called statins.
If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, do not
take ZETIA while taking a statin.
If you are a woman of childbearing age, you
should use an effective method of birth control
to prevent pregnancy while using ZETIA added
to statin therapy.
ZETIAhas not been studied in children under age 10.
WHAT SHOULD I TELL MY DOCTOR BEFORE
AND WHILE TAKING ZETIA?
Tell your doctor about any prescription and non-
prescription medicines you are taking or plan to
take, including natural or herbal remedies.
Tell your doctor about all your medical conditions
including allergies.
Tell your doctor if you:
ever had liver problems. ZETIA may not be right
for you.
are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. Your
doctor will discuss with you whether ZETIA is
right for you.
are breast-feeding. We do not know if ZETIA can
pass to your baby through your milk. Your doctor
will discuss withyouwhether ZETIAis right for you.
experience unexplained muscle pain,
tenderness, or weakness.
HOWSHOULD I TAKE ZETIA?
Take ZETIA once a day, with or without food. It
may be easier to remember to take your dose if
you do it at the same time every day, such as with
breakfast, dinner, or at bedtime. If you also take
another medicine to reduce your cholesterol, ask
your doctor if you can take themat the same time.
If you forget to take ZETIA, take it as soon as you
remember. However, do not take more than one
dose of ZETIA a day.
Continue to follow a cholesterol-lowering diet
while taking ZETIA. Ask your doctor if you need
diet information.
Keep taking ZETIA unless your doctor tells you to
stop. It is important that you keep taking ZETIA
even if you do not feel sick.
See your doctor regularly to check your
cholesterol level and to check for side effects.
Your doctor may do blood tests to check your liver
before you start taking ZETIA with a statin and
during treatment.
WHAT ARE THE POSSIBLE
SIDE EFFECTS OF ZETIA

(EZETIMIBE)?
In clinical studies patients reported few side
effects while taking ZETIA. These included
diarrhea, joint pains, and feeling tired.
Patients have experienced severe muscle
problems while taking ZETIA, usually when ZETIA
was added to a statin drug. If you experience
unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or
weakness while taking ZETIA, contact your doctor
immediately. You need to do this promptly, because
on rare occasions, these muscle problems can
be serious, with muscle breakdown resulting in
kidney damage.
Additionally, the following side effects have been
reported in general use: allergic reactions (which
may require treatment right away) including
swelling of the face, lips, tongue, and/or throat that
may cause difculty in breathing or swallowing,
rash, and hives; raised red rash, sometimes with
target-shaped lesions; joint pain; muscle aches;
alterations in some laboratory blood tests; liver
problems; stomach pain; inammation of the
pancreas; nausea; dizziness; tingling sensation;
depression; headache; gallstones; inammation of
the gallbladder.
Tell your doctor if you are having these or any other
medical problems while on ZETIA. For a complete
list of side effects, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
WHAT SHOULD I KNOWABOUT
HIGH CHOLESTEROL?
Cholesterol is a type of fat found in your blood.
Your total cholesterol is made up of LDL and HDL
cholesterol.
LDL cholesterol is called bad cholesterol because
it can build up in the wall of your arteries and form
plaque. Over time, plaque build-up can cause a
narrowing of the arteries. This narrowing can slow
or block blood ow to your heart, brain, and other
organs. High LDL cholesterol is a major cause of
heart disease and one of the causes for stroke.
HDL cholesterol is called good cholesterol
because it keeps the bad cholesterol from building
up in the arteries.
Triglycerides also are fats found in your blood.
GENERAL INFORMATION
ABOUT ZETIA

(EZETIMIBE)
Medicines are sometimes prescribed for
conditions that are not mentioned in patient
information leaets. Do not use ZETIA for a
condition for which it was not prescribed. Do not
give ZETIA to other people, even if they have the
same condition you have. It may harm them.
This summarizes the most important information
about ZETIA. If you would like more information,
talk with your doctor. You can ask your pharmacist
or doctor for information about ZETIA that is
written for health professionals.

NEW YORK If youre invited to tea with
the Queen of Soul, dont expect to stand on
ceremony.
Holding court in the lobby of a swank Mid-
town hotel, Aretha Franklin is a dignied but
decidedly unfussy presence. A few passers-
by stare at the familiar-looking woman, her
newly slimmed-downgure draped ina long
white dress. But they keep a polite distance,
leaving Franklin to her tray of miniature
goodies.
Tea food is one of my fa-
vorites, she says. Sand-
wiches, canaps I love em.
Franklin is in town to celebrate her 69th
birthday (March 25), and to promote an al-
bum, out Tuesday, intriguingly titledAretha: A
WomanFalling Out of Love. The liner notes ac-
knowledge that she blew the possibility of
one of the most exquisite and rewarding rela-
tionships . . . with a foolish and intended to
be humorous quip.
In person, the twice-divorced singer pro-
vides nofurther details other thanconrming
that shes single at the moment. But she does
offer this observation: Its denitely harder
falling out of love than it is falling in love. Its
like losing weight: You can put it on in sec-
onds, but it takes weeks and months to get it
off.

I amoldenoughnowtoad-
mit certainthings that I might
not have admitted at a less-
secure age, i.e., when I actu-
ally cared what people
thought.
No longer.
I am a tree-hugger, for in-
stance. I make no apologies
for this. I love trees.
As they say, you can take
the man out of the 60s, but
you cant take the 60s out of
the man.
Whenever I read about
someone strappedtoa tree to
save it frombeing cut down, I
want to join him. Or at least
take himsome granola.
Ive never understood why
tree-hugger is such a nega-
tive term. Ive certainly been
called worse. Someone
thought I was a gay Repub-
lican once. Nowthat was em-
barrassing. ARepublican!
But back to trees. Theres
an ugly rumor spreading
through my neighborhood
that an ancient magnolia tree
that stands in a neighbors
garden might come down.
For more than a century, it
has proudly stood right
across from my house. I look
out on it every day from my
ofce window. I consider it an
old friend. Strong. Steady. Al-
ways there.
But a young family is reno-
vating the house this spring,
and rumor is they want to
take the tree down so their
children will have more light.
What they need is enlight-
enment.
Why do people not under-
stand that it takes decades to
grow a magnicent tree and
only an afternoon to bring it
down? And with it goes ev-
erything trees inspire?
Joyce Kilmer became fam-
ous for his poem about trees,
but he isnt the only one who
understood their powers.
For the past few years,
author Richard Horan has
been making pilgrimages to
the homes of celebrated
American authors, visiting
the trees that still stand out-
side their study windows.
While there, he gathered the
trees seeds to take home to
grow.
His journey took him from
John Muirs California to Rob-
ert Frosts Vermont to Harper
Lees Alabama and Thomas
Wolfes North Carolina. He
also stopped at Gettysburg
and Mount Vernon along the
way.
What came out of his trav-
els is a charming new book
simply called Seeds.
So the guys a little strange,
but I certainly understand.
In so many yards and
parks across America, ancient
trees have stood proud,
watching all like gods, he
writes. They are both the si-
lent witnesses of, and active
partners in, our personal his-
tory.
Pray that my neighbor-
hood magnolia will remain
both.

2D COVER STORY WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27, 2011 USA TODAY
chatty on that topic, and several
others. She enthuses about the
new album, her rst on her own
label, Arethas Records. Available
exclusively at Walmart and
Walmart.com (though a digital
version will be sold more widely
starting June 3), it mixes original
songs among them composi-
tions by singer and son Kecalf
Franklin Cunningham with
covers of My Country Tis of Thee
and the themes from The Way
We Were (a duet with Ron Isley)
and A Summer Place. (Another
son, Eddie Franklin, sings His Eye
Is on the Sparrow.)
Its beautifully varied, Frank-
lin says. Theres something for
everybody.
Franklin also is eager to discuss
a long-rumored big-screen bio-
pic, for which she has nally se-
curednancial andcreative con-
trol, if not a leading lady. (Read
on for contenders.) But she is
more tight-lipped on certain sub-
jects particularly her health,
which became a source of public
concern after she canceled con-
cert appearances late last year.
Reports circulated that Frank-
lin had pancreatic cancer, and
other rumors held that bariatric
surgery was responsible for her
leaner frame. Neither was the
case, she says: I have no idea
where any of that came from.
When some people dont know
something, theyll just invent
stuff. But I dont think its appro-
priate to discuss ones health.
Getting backto work
Besides, Franklin says, shes
feeling excellent these days.
Shell perform several shows in
May, startingout witha small pri-
vate gig in Manhattan before
playing the Chicago Theatre and
thenthe Seneca Niagara Casino &
Hotel in Niagara Falls. The last ap-
pearance was supposed to be
the rst, but then the other dates
came in, andmy doctor saidto go
ahead, it would be ne.
Franklin attributes her physical
well-being in part to the weight
loss, which she says came about
as a result of simple determina-
tion and discipline.
I realized that I was just too
heavy, she says. I had a Power
Rider that I used for exercise, and
I actually broke it I was that
heavy. I didnt know how to lose
weight.
Thekey, shelearned, was mod-
eration: smaller food portions
including selections from Jenny
Craig and Weight Watchers pro-
grams combined with a sen-
sible tness regimen. Imon the
track at least three times a week,
andthe treadmill. Imuptoabout
26 minutes on the treadmill and
a mile and a half on the track. I
havent worked it upto a runyet;
its more like a slowtrot.
Franklin also tries not to eat af-
ter dark. Many years ago, I heard
Natalie Cole say that she didnt
eat after 6 oclock (p.m.). And at
the time I thought, is she kid-
ding? Thats a joke I would
starve. But you know, she was
correct: That 6 oclock thing
works.
The singer says shes having
more fun with fashion now.
Some really nice designers are
cutting for me, and I can shop in
places where I couldnt before,
which is really cool, she says.
But being thinner does have
one drawback for Franklin: Your
weight affects your voice. It does
mine, anyway. The tone is a little
fuller when youre heavier. At the
weight I was at before what I
would call my ghting weight I
had my best, best, best voice. Its
still generally the same, but I can
hear that little bit of difference.
Songwriter/producer Norman
West, a contributor tothe newal-
bum, begs to differ. Ive heard
her sing before and after (the
weight loss), and to me its the
same great Aretha. Having her
sing your music is like being
anointed, he says.
Franklin isnt expecting that
the woman who eventually plays
her on screen will match that
prowess. Though her early favor-
ite, Halle Berry, has already de-
clared herself vocally unt,
Franklin says that she never ex-
pected (Berry) to sing. It was
more about her likeness, and the
fact that she has (acting) experi-
ence. But I guess she wasnt con-
dent in her ability to lip-sync.
Tributes on-screenandoff
Two performers who could
likely do their own singing, and
whose names have beenbandied
about Jennifer Hudson and
Fantasia are candidates.
Theyre both very good singers
and very good actresses, Frank-
lin allows. But she wants the di-
rector a huge, huge, Holly-
wood name, though I cant tell
you who it is to weigh in. My
feeling is that well end up with
two Arethas, one younger and
one older. And you never know
who well nd.
While the search goes on,
Franklin continues to accumulate
new honors and tributes. March
saw the release of Take a Look:
Complete on Columbia, a 12-disc
boxset tracingthesingers tenure
at that label in the early 1960s.
And an exhibit set to open May
13 at Clevelands Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame andMuseum, Wom-
en Who Rock: Vision, Passion,
Power, includes some of Frank-
lins personal items in a section
devoted to the late 60s and 70s.
Shes one of the greatest sing-
ers of all time, says the halls chief
curator, Jim Henke. But we also
havethings that showher connec-
tion to a broader cultural land-
scape, among them a poster of
her with Martin Luther King Jr. in
1967. A song like Respect is not
only a great soul song; it became
an anthem for civil rights and for
the womens movement.
Franklin acknowledges that
she had no inkling of Respects
potential resonance whenshe re-
corded it. It was just funky R&B
as far as I was concerned. But
looking back, yes, I cansee exact-
ly what it meant topeople, why it
became a mantra.
That said, Franklin is keen that
her legacy not be tied to any his-
torical movement or era. She
counts herself lucky to have
been part of every generation
since the 60s, and stresses that
her journey is far from over
musically or otherwise. Famously
wary of air travel since a shaky
ight in the 1980s, she recently
took a class to overcome her
fears, and she hopes to go abroad
in the near future.
Im going to bite the bullet,
and soon, Franklin says, smiling.
Ill do a short ight to begin
with, but then Id love to go back
to Europe. And to Israel, and
Egypt. Toplaces I didnt gowhenI
was ying.
Shes still tickled, and hum-
bled, by her effect on younger
icons, whether watching famous
singers salute her at Februarys
Grammy Awards (I sawit on TV,
while I was eating a cup of ba-
nana pudding a small cup, she
points out) or recalling her com-
mand performance for President
Obama at his inauguration.
Of course, it was 20-some-
thing degrees that day, and Im
thinking, Why does this brilliant
moment in history have to be
outside? Franklin says, laugh-
ing. But it was thrilling. And the
president is a very, very classy
man. When he heard that I
wasnt feeling upto it, he sent me
a very nice, thoughtful letter. He
had sent another one prior to
that, about my dads sermons,
which I gave him as a gift during
the inauguration.
The late Rev. C.L. Franklins
daughter clearly hasnt lost her
ability to inspire. I love the way
shes carrying herself now, says
Cori Murray, entertainment di-
rector for Essence Magazine. You
can see that she feels great, that
the condence is back. Regard-
less of where she is healthwise,
theres a sense of, This is my next
act that were going to see and
hear fromher for a long time.
Thats the plan, Franklin says.
Ive considered retiring before,
but Id get so emotional about it.
Andpeople were like, Youre kid-
ding you cant. So there isnt
going to be any retirement.
Franklin still refuses to address the health questions

but only a fraction (less than 6%) were made out of silver! The Silver Ike was only released for four
years ending in 1974. Were they meant to be a secret? Probably not! But with so few made, it can
easily be slated that no one knew about it ... until now.
The Eisenhower Silver Dollar was the last large size dollar made by the U.S. Mint for circulation

uCougar bait. ABCs Cougar
Town returned froma two-
month break with 7.9 million
viewers Monday (after Dancing
With the Stars, which drew20.1
million) and 6.2 million in
Wednesdays regular slot. That
marked a typical performance
for the show, though above its
temporary replacement, Mr.
Sunshine, which mostly aired
behind Modern Family repeats.
uRoyal we. This week

20/20 special, Williamand Kate:
A Modern Fairy Tale, claimed 7.5
million viewers Monday, well
belowCastles average in the
slot. That same night, Lifetime

aged 1.8 million, while network
special Royal Wedding of a Life-

uParenthood out. The sec-
ond-season nale of NBCs Par-
enthood claimed a typical (and
third-place) 6.3 million viewers
Tuesday, though it won the slot
among young-adult viewers and
is expected to return in fall. But
Thursdays second episode of
The Paul Reiser Showsank 29%
fromits low-rated opener, to 2.4
million, and was canceled.
uPreggers. The third-season
opener of MTVs 16 &Pregnant

Tuesday, down from3.1 million
for last years start. BBC Ameri-

1.3 million viewers Saturday,
a channel record.

LONDON For collectors, wearers
and designers of hats, this is the town to
be in, andthis weekof the royal wedding
is the time to be here, says Louis
Mariette, one of Londons top milliners
of dramatic, amboyant, over-the-top
chapeaux.
Hats are required for numerous social
occasions inBritain, but theres nobetter
time to show off ones headgear than a
royal wedding like the one Friday, when
Catherine Kate Middleton will marry
Prince William of Wales at Westminster
Abbey before 1,900 invited guests.
Count on it: Every woman there will
be wearing a hat.
The rst thing to know about the
British, which I love, is theres an eccen-
tricity about them expressed in their
love of and skill at wearing hats, says
Mariette, 40, who was Malawi-born and
Botswana-raised until his family immi-
grated to Britain when he was a child.
With the royal wedding, everyone
wants to knowwho is wearing what and
howtheyre wearing it, so theres a lot of
attention nowon hats.
Which means good business for milli-
ners like Mariette, one of about a dozen
top hatmakers to the rich and famous in
the United Kingdomtoday. (Prices range
fromabout $300tojust short of $1,000.)
Delicate yet wiry, dressed in sandals
and madras shirt and speaking rapidly,
Mariettehimself doesnt needahat he
sports an eye-popping mohawk on the
top of his elegant head.
I like drama-and-diva moments, he
says cheerily. People dont usually come
to me for low-key hats.
Indeed, Mariettes philosophy of hats
is that they should be fun. He has also
been inspired by the ora and fauna of
his native Africa. When you wear a hat,
you get so much attention its an ice-
breaker, he says. Expressingyourself in
a hat is half the fun.
The royal wedding gives milliners an
opportunity to express themselves and
showoff their work, made for events in-
cluding weddings, garden parties and
social-season horse-racing meets such
as Ascot and Epsom. Irish-born hat de-
signer Philip Treacy is getting the bright-
est spotlight for his role in designing
some of the hats inthe royal bridal party,
but Mariette has created at least one hat
for an important wedding guest, though
he wont say who. Youd knowher, he
says coyly.
A party designer turned milliner, Ma-
riette started making hats eight years
agoandhas since become famous for ex-
travagantly decorated and sculptural de-
signs, wedding pillboxes, jeweled hair
accessories andbespoke (custom-made)
creations for the head. His studio/work-
shop/showroomin a townhouse in Lon-
dons upscale Chelsea neighborhood is
adorned with his hat artworks.
My designs are over-the-topandout-
landish, but for some of my lady clients,
you design around her personality and
her outt, Mariette says, holding one of
his more elaborate creations, a red-and-
black number almost as big as he is.
Its really about listening to what the
client wants and the occasion, (but) its
nice to break out of your comfort zone
sometimes.
Of course, you probably wont see
many of these showstopping-style hats
at the royal wedding. The rulebook for
the royal wedding is nothing too osten-
tatious, he says. Maybe rock stars and
celebrities might do something more
daring, but mostly it will be mainstream
at the royal wedding.
After all, its bad form to outdo the
bride. Besides, the queenQueenEliza-
beth II, grandmother to Prince William
will be there, wearing a hat made es-
pecially for her by one of her longtime
milliners. Mariette gives the queen all
the credit for maintaining the traditional
interest in hats in Britain.
Its the queen, of course she wears
hats to perfection, Mariette says. And
what about America? If women dont
usually wear hats except for practical
reasons, then they may feel less certain
about their ability to carry it off, he says.
Hats still get attention at the Ken-
tuckyDerbyandamongthe churchgoing
society in the South, he says. But with
all the modern changes (in America),
people have lost touch with millinery.
Its your condence inwearing a hat that
is so important.
But Americans could pick it up again,
he says: Once you start wearing hats,
you never go back.

A wedding without diabetes worries
WhenAllisonBrooks Schwalmwas shopping for a
wedding caterer a few years ago, she dreamed of a
mouthwatering menu and a luscious cake.
The hook: a chef who could work around her
health needs was vital. Brooks Schwalm, 26, has
type 1 diabetes and counts carbohydrates carefully
to avoid extreme blood sugar levels, which can af-
fect her energy and mood. Also, her husband, Ross
Schwalm, is allergic to milk, and a reaction would
not a pretty wedding picture make, she says.
When we met with the caterer, we pretty much
put everything out on the table at the rst meeting,
sayingif youcant giveus a low-carbohydrateoption
or tell us whats ineverything, thenwe cant gowith
you, says Brooks Schwalm, of Centreville, Va.
As the number of people with type 1 and type 2
diabetes continues to rise almost 26 million in the
USA have diabetes some caterers say their wed-
ding menus are evolving to suit brides, grooms, and
family members with the disease.
Within the last 10 years, its more prevalent,
says Thomas Vest, executive chef and owner of
Catering by Vest, in Temple Hills, Md. Vest, who
has type 1 diabetes, is known for his Southern-style
cuisine much of which includes healthy takes on
traditional soul-food dishes, such as sweet-potato
pie and barbecue. He says he often meets brides-
to-be who ask about low-sugar and whole-grain
options. I wouldsayalmost 25%of myclientele are
diabetic, says Vest.
Exactly what does it mean to make a wedding
feast diabetes-friendly? Though type 1 and type 2
diabetes both involve problems with the bodys
ability to produce anduse insulinto convert foodto
energy, they usually require different treatments.
But doctors recommend that people with both
types stick with a healthy diet rich in fresh fruits,
vegetables, lean meats and sh, low-fat dairy and
whole grains.
Weddings andspecial events that arecelebrated
with food are especially hard for people with dia-
betes, says endocrinologist Susan Spratt of Duke
University Medical Center. Knowing exact carbo-
hydrate counts in foods is helpful for people with
type 1, Spratt says. For those with type 2, which is
linked to obesity, portion control is a concern.
A restaurant in Woodbridge, Va., was able to ac-
commodate the Schwalm wedding party. Instead
of a formal dinner, they opted for a banquet-style
spread of hearty yet healthy nger foods: a sliced
roast beef and turkey station, melon-wrapped pro-
sciutto, a large fruit platter, a veggie platter.
Is it possible for the wedding cake to be healthi-
er? Its tough to make it a diabetes-friendly con-
fection, says nutrition researcher Elizabeth Mayer
Davis, president of Health Care & Education for the
American Diabetes Association. She says a slim
slice of the real thing might be more realistic.
Holly Clegg, author of Holly Cleggs Trim&Terric
Diabetic Cooking, has created a lower-sugar, lower-
fat version of a traditional Italian creamcake made
with a cake mix, low-fat creamcheese and coconut
extract.
Brooks Schwalm, who tested her blood sugar
about eight times on her wedding day, says she
chose the real deal, and dancing probably helped
keep her blood sugars in line.
I wanted the best cake I could have chocolate
and vanilla layer cake with raspberry preserves for
lling. It was as good as I imagined.

As a matter of fact, it canbe a cakewalk: Holly Clegg, a health-focused cookbook writer known as the Queen of Quick, prepares a three-layer Italian creamwedding cake
in the kitchen of her home in Baton Rouge. The confection is made fromcake mix, sugar-free pudding, low-fat creamcheese and coconut extract instead of actual coconut.

Chef cooks up
disaster relief
F
or much of this spring, Maryland glu-
ten-free baker and author Jules Shep-
ard has been up to her eyeballs in cake
batter and frosting.
When I caught up with her by phone last
week, she had just whipped up 700 pounds
of frosting, soon to be spread atop 180 sheet
cakes. On May 4, Shepard and a team of
cake-assembly elves will gather in a Wash-
ington, D.C., hotel, stack those frosted cakes
and build what she projects will be the
worlds tallest gluten-free cake. The antici-
pated result, says Shepard, will be 13 feet
high and 3 feet across, clocking in at 1,900
pounds (minus the woodentiers, of course).
Whats promptedShepardtoconstruct an
edible behemoth has nothing to do with
breaking records of the Guinness variety, but
rather calling attention to the growing num-
ber of Americans who are either gluten-
intolerant (18 million) or have celiac disease
(3 million) and the dire need for gluten-free
food labels mandated by the Food and Drug
Administration.
Celiac disease is aninherited autoimmune
disorder that makes it impossible to digest
gluten, the protein found in wheat, barley
and rye. It is a debilitating disease, often un-
diagnosed, and to date can be managed only
through diet.
Although the cake will undoubtedly be
the main attraction on May 4, it is just one
piece of Shepards Gluten-Free Food Label-
ing Summit, a day of congressional lobbying
and gluten-free galvanizing.
The inspiration for the event, says Shep-
ard, who was diagnosed with celiac disease
in 1999, was born out of the frustration she
shared with fellow celiac and gluten-free
triathlete John Forberger over the FDAs in-
action regarding implementation of gluten-
free standards for food labels. They point to
the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer
Protection Act of 2004 (FALCPA), which was
put into effect in 2006. The law mandates
that food labels clearly state the presence of
eight major food allergens, including wheat
(but not barley or rye).
Written into the law is a requirement for
gluten labeling as well as a denition for
gluten-free by August 2006, followed by a
mandated standard and nal rule for gluten-
free food labeling by August 2008.
Nearly three years since the promised
standards andsevenyears since FALCPAwas
passed, gluten-free label guidelines remain
in limbo. Tired of waiting for the FDA to act
(and watching other countries, including
Australia, Argentina and Canada, pass glu-
ten-free labeling laws), Shepard and For-
berger founded 1in133 (1in133.org) to shed
light on this countrys gluten-free labeling
impasse. (1in133 stands for the number of
Americans living with celiac disease.) The
glaring lack of any standardized federal glu-
ten-free food labeling laws has so red up
my sense of justice that I couldnt simply
stand by and watch it languish any longer,
Shepard told me.
The absence of gluten-free-labeling stan-
dards was presumably an invitation for Paul
Seelig, a Durham, N.C., man who fraudu-
lently sold bread as gluten-free. Earlier this
month, a Superior Court judge found Seelig,
owner of Great Specialty Bread Co., guilty on
23 counts of fraud and sentenced him to 11
years in prison.
In addition to cake activism, Shepard and
Forberger have also launched an online pet-
itionandFDAwritingcampaignincollabora-
tion with the American Celiac Disease Alli-
ance, the event beneciary. The evening
reception on May 4 (and the pre-event cake
construction) is opentothe public; there is a
suggested donation of $11.33 to attend.
Towering ambition: Getting the gluten-free word out

Layeredlook: Jules
Shepard, right, teamed
up with Lee Tobin at
Whole Foods Markets
gluten-free bake house
in Morrisville, N.C.,
to bake some of the
180 sheet cakes needed
for the giant cake.
uFinda caterer who is also a
nutritionist, says nutrition re-
searcher Elizabeth Mayer Da-
vis of the American Diabetes
Association. But even if you
cant locate one, there are
ways to make a healthy meal
festive, she says.
uFocus onpresentation.
Dont feel like you need to
bury the healthy choices,
Mayer Davis says. Abeautiful
fruit tart, bowls of fresh ber-
ries, and a colorful yogurt
dipping sauce instead of
whipped creamor syrup will
drawguests, she says.
uLookfor healthy substitu-
tions. Diabetes cookbook
author Holly Clegg says dips,
like her Mediterranean lay-
ered dip with hummus and
fresh vegetables, is colorful
and healthier than creamy
versions. Substitute half the
fried chips with pita or veg-
gie chips.
uNotify guests aheadthat
there will be healthy dishes.
When type 2 bride Tabatha
Muntzinger, 27, of Dayton,
Ohio, got married in 2008,
she wanted to make it easy
on her grandfather and a
pre-diabetic uncle. We actu-
ally did information packets a
year before the wedding,
she says. In that, I listed that
we would have diabetic-
friendly options.
Tips to make
your wedding
diabetes-friendly
Alcohol can complicate
special events, says Duke
endocrinologist Susan
Spratt. Mixed drinks can be
riddled with carbs and can
spike blood glucose levels.
Conversely, alcohol reduces
the livers ability to make
glucose and can lead to a
blood sugar drop. Drinking
also can lead to overeating
and poor decision-making,
Spratt says.
Make non-alcoholic
drinks plentiful and tempt-
ing by serving themin cut-
glass pitchers lled with
sparkling water and fresh
citrus slices, says Elizabeth
Mayer Davis of the Ameri-
can Diabetes Association.

Scotty lost some momen-
tumby skirting the spirit of
last weeks 21st-century
theme with a complacent
version of a recently cov-
ered 1983 hit. So its time to
surprise us, and Kings cata-
log, not exactly abundant in
country-styled songs, pre-
sents the perfect challenge.
But this is the guy who
countried Stevie Wonder,
so dont count himout.

CONNECTIONS
Surely, Haley will go soon. Casey and Jacob have their strengths, but Jacob
lacks versatility and Casey is erratic. The prime contenders for the Idol
crown are James, Scotty and Lauren, none of whomhas made a serious
misstep yet. Will tonights Carole King theme be a stumbling block?
The exciting one
James Durbin 68
James is on a roll, with his
condence and his ratings
at an all-time high. (Last
weeks Muse cover
earned Idol Meters best
score of the season.) His
rock spectacles keep the
showinteresting, and hes
already passed the ballad
test. King isnt exactly his
type, but he could always
channel Grand Funks
lumbering version of The
Loco-Motion.
The careful one
LaurenAlaina 47
Likable Lauren is doing a
great job of coasting. She
sings competent versions of
songs by competent-at-best
singers (mostly). King falls
into that category, so her
songs wont be a challenge.
Lauren already sang the only
King tune that might chal-
lenge her, Natural Woman,
sounding more like the com-
poser than hitmaker Aretha
Franklin.
Howthey scored
1 James Durbin 68
2 Casey Abrams 51
3 Lauren Alaina 47
4 Haley Reinhart 35
5 Jacob Lusk 32
6 Scotty McCreery 26
Are these the top 3? Well see . . .
The methodology: Our
fast-track formula
Predicting the results on American Idol
isnt a science. But its fun to approach it
that way. Weve come up with a pseu-
doscientic formula to gauge each nal-
ists momentumheading into the next
round of competition, based on criteria
such as song choice, performance order,
judges verdict and online buzz. Contes-
tants can score up to 100 points or if
theyre in danger into double-digit
negative numbers.
For the full methodology and a detailed
breakdown on howyour favorite
contestant scored in each category, visit

uAs the American Idol (Fox,
tonight, 8 ET/PT) judges still
seemtostruggle tondtheir in-
ner critic, heres a suggestionfor
a note they can deliver beyond
the ever-popular pitchy and
the ever-necessary reminder
that lyrics consist of words, not
just a random collection of syl-
lables: Youre not stars yet, and
youre certainly not artists
(the shows most regrettably
abused word). This instant
group-ascension happens on
every Idol, even though the
contestants whohave achieved
career success without victory
are the exception, not the rule.
But it has been exacerbated this
season by the overpraise the
non-judgmental panel heaps
upon them. So repeat after me:
Wait until after youve soldout a
few stadiums before you start
telling the audience what to do,
and that includes demanding
they clap along. In the mean-
time, concentrate on at least
feigninghumility. AndJacoband
James, that goes double for you.
uOn the other hand, no one
can question the star status of
South Park (Comedy, 10 ET/PT)
co-creators Trey Parker and
Matt Stone. They have a Broad-
way hit, The Book of Mormon,
that stands a good chance of
winning thema Tony to go with
their Emmys. And tonight, their
hit TV show kicks off its 15th
season with a jab at all things
Apple and the cult it inspires.

Its ofcial: After ve years in the anchor chair, Ka-
tie Couric will be leaving the CBS Evening News, most
likely at the end of her contract on June 3.
She chose People.com to conrm the widely ex-
pectednews, saying, Imreally proudof the talented
team . . . and the award-winning
work weve beenable todointhe past
ve years, in addition to the reporting
Ive done for 60 Minutes and CBS Sun-
day Morning.
She tells People magazine in an ex-
clusive interview to be published in
editions out Friday, In making the de-
cision to move on, I knowthe Evening
News will be in great hands, but I am
excited about the future.
In a statement Tuesday, CBS News
said, Theres a lot to be proud of dur-
ing Katie Courics time at Evening
News, adding that CBS News, like
Katie herself, is looking forward to the next chapter.
No announcement was made about that chapter.
But ofcials, who were not authorized to speak be-
fore the decision is made public, say CBS early next
week will name 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pel-
ley, a 22-year network veteran, as her successor.
Couric, 54, is being courted by major networks to
host a daytime talk show to start in fall 2012. Each
would offer a continuing presence on afliated news-
casts, newsmagazines or specials, particularly during
major news events and during the 15-month gap
between the end of her tenure in CBS anchor chair
and the start of a newshow.
She tells PBS Tavis Smiley that her plans include
doing what I do best: interacting with people, in-
terviewingpeople andhavingsort of more of extend-
ed conversations. A deal is likely in the next few
weeks, and CBS and ABC whose top stations will
lose The Oprah Winfrey Show this fall are front-
runners. (Both networks would air her show on the
big-city outlets they own and sell it to local stations
elsewhere.)
Her success would depend heavily on the stations
and time periods she commands, says Bill Carroll,
who advises local stations on syndicated program-
ming for Katz Television Group.
Despite a $15-million-a-year contract that her
boss, CBS chief Leslie Moonves, last fall described as
the last of its kind, Couric leaves the newscast mired
in third place. Last week it drew 5.7 million viewers,
compared with leader NBCs 8.4 million. Financially,
her departure helps CBS, because they were over-
paying her, says Andrew Tyndall, publisher of The
Tyndall Report, which monitors network newscasts.
Tyndall describes CBS Evening News as the most
hard-edged of the major networks, noting Courics
personality ghts against the objective content of
the newscast, whereas Pelleys backgroundas a cor-
respondent will be more insync. Its less about a big
personality and more about the work that he does.
Anchor changes often lead loyal viewers to scope
out rival newscasts. But some of CBS ratings prob-
lems are caused by weak lead-ins fromits local afli-
ates. And Couric, who was dismissed by some critics
as a lightweight when she shifted from NBCs Today
show, scored journalistic points, most notably in a
combative 2008interviewwithformer Alaska gover-
nor Sarah Palin.
Just this week, she headed to London for the royal
wedding, where she interviewed British Prime Min-
ister David Cameron and Mark Kelly, the astronaut
husband of Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.
