Senate votes
to slow closing
of post offices
By HOPE YEN
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON The
Senate offered a lifeline to the
nearly bankrupt U.S. Postal
Service on Wednesday, vot-
ing to give the struggling
agency an $11 billion cash
infusion while delaying con-
troversial decisions on clos-
ing post offices and ending
Saturday delivery.
By a 62-37 vote, senators
approved a measure which
had divided mostly along
rural-urban lines. Over the
past several weeks, the bill
was modified more than a
dozen times, adding new
restrictions on closings and
cuts to service that rural-state
senators said would hurt their
communities the most.
The issue now goes to the
House, which has yet to con-
sider a separate version of
the bill.
The Postal Service is an
iconic American institution
that still delivers 500 mil-
lion pieces of mail a day and
sustains 8 million jobs, said
Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn.,
a bill co-sponsor. This legis-
lation will change the USPS
so it can stay alive throughout
the 21st century.
The mail agency, however,
criticized the measure, saying
it fell far short in stemming
financial losses. Postmaster
General Patrick Donahoe
said if the bill became law,
he would have to return to
Congress in a few years to get
emergency help.
It is totally inappropriate
in these economic times to
keep unneeded facilities open.
There is simply not enough
mail in our system today,
the Postal Services board of
governors said in a statement.
It is also inappropriate to
delay the implementation of
five-day delivery.
The Senate bill would halt
the immediate closing of up
to 252 mail-processing cen-
ters and 3,700 post offices,
part of a postal cost-cutting
plan to save some $6.5 bil-
lion a year. Donahoe previ-
ously said he would begin
making cuts after May 15 if
Congress didnt act, warning
that the agency could run out
of money this fall.
The measure would save
about half the mail process-
ing centers the Postal Service
wants to close, from 252 to
125, allowing more areas to

Jefferson High School will present Gone
with the Breeze at 7:30 p.m. Friday and
Saturday in the Jefferson Middle School
Auditorium. The whole country is talking non-
stop about Lucy Belle Bankheads sensational
new novel, Gone With The Breeze. The
heroine is spunky 18-year-old Jezebel OToole.
She makes Scarlett OHara seem like soggy
grits-and-a-half. When the nation hears
Hollywoods Lone Pine Films is planning
Breeze as its next picture, hundreds of
aspiring young actresses descend on the studio.
Of course, the studio already knows theyll cast
Peggy Tempest for Jezebels part. Shes the
most powerful star in town and will guarantee
a hit but shes also the most temperamental
one. To keep her in line, producers Ruth
Wintersole and Huckleberry Jones pretend
they want an unknown for the part. The
scheme appears to work. The unknown
selected, Vicki Rawlins, is ideal. The press
builds her up big. Then its discovered Ruth
and Huckleberry dont have the film rights to
the novel and Peggy starts suing everyone in
sight. How the problem is resolved will have
the audience doubled over in laughter. Left:
Peggy Tempest, portrayed by Aleica Menke,
shows how sweet she is(nt) to her agent

Looking for a
few good boomers
to help others
By JENNIFER C. KERR
WASHINGTON (AP) Local chari-
ties and nonprofits are looking for a few
good baby boomers well, lots of them,
actually to roll up their sleeves to help
local schools, soup kitchens and others in
need.
Boomers are attractive volunteers, and
its not just the sheer strength of their num-
bers 77 million. They are living longer.
They are more educated than previous
generations. And, especially appealing:
They bring well-honed skills and years of
real-world work and life experience.
This generation, this cohort of
Americans, is the healthiest, best educated
generation of Americans across this tradi-
tional age of retirement, says Dr. Erwin
Tan, who heads the Senior Corps pro-
gram at the Corporation for National and
Community Service, a federal agency in
Washington. The question for us is how
can we as a country not afford to mobilize
this huge source of human capital to meet
the vital needs of our communities.
Tan says nonprofits are retooling to
attract more boomers by offering a variety

On Wednesday at 8:55
a.m., Delphos Police were
called to the 500 block of
South Cass Street in refer-
ence to a criminal damaging
complaint.
Upon officers arrival, the
victim stated someone had
caused damage to a tire on
their vehicle.
At 1:50 p.m., police were
called to another residence in

may have factored into a two-

Wednesday.
According to the report,

Delphos was traveling east-
bound in the inside lane in
the 900 block of East Fifth

the rear.

ure to stop at an assured clear
distance.

vehicles sustained moderate
to functional damage.

of skills-based opportunities as
well as more flexibility, such as
nontraditional hours or projects
that dont require a trip to the
office and can be completed at
home.
Mike Carr of Fort Wayne,
Ind., is exactly the kind of skill-
ful boomer sought by commu-
nities.
Carr, 65, retired about
a year ago as an accountant
for Verizon Communications.
Instead of golfing or parking
himself on the couch, he volun-
teers with low-income people
and military families, helping
them prepare and file their tax
returns.
Carr also volunteers as trea-
surer for a church group and
helps people with paperwork
for food stamps and unemploy-
ment.
Theres so much in the
news today thats very negative
and a lot of it I cant do a whole
lot about, says Carr. But at
least here in the community that
I live in, there are some things
that I can do to help others.
About a third of boomers,
ages 48 to 66 years, tend to
gravitate toward opportunities
with a religious underpinning,
according to CNCS figures.
That was followed by volunteer
opportunities in education, 22
percent; social service, 14 per-
cent; and hospitals, 8 percent.
The percentage of boomers
volunteering these days, how-
ever, is on the decline.
Nearly 22 million baby
boomers gave their time in com-
munities across the country in
2010. Thats about 28.8 percent
of boomers, down slightly from
29.9 percent in 2007 and from
33.5 percent in 2003, accord-
ing to the community service
corporation.

(Continued from page 1)
maintain overnight first-class
mail delivery for at least three
more years. It also would bar any
shutdowns before the November
elections, protect rural post offices
for at least a year, give affected
communities new avenues to
appeal closing decisions and for-
bid cuts to Saturday delivery for
two years.
At the same time, the Postal
Service would get an infusion of
roughly $11 billion, basically a
refund of overpayments made in
previous years to a federal retire-
ment fund. That would give it
immediate liquidity to pay down
debt to forestall bankruptcy and
finance buyouts to 100,000 postal
employees.
The agency could make
smaller annual payments into
a future retiree health benefits
account, gain flexibility in trim-
ming worker compensation ben-
efits and find additional ways to
raise postal revenue under a new
chief innovation officer.
Other bill provisions would:
Place a one-year morato-
rium on closing rural post offices
and then require the mail agency
to take rural issues into special
consideration. Post offices gen-
erally would be protected from
closure if the closest mail facility
was more than 10 miles away.
The exception would be cases in
which there was no significant
community opposition.
Shut five of the seven post
offices on the Capitol grounds.
Take into account the
impact on small businesses before
closing mail facilities.
Cap postal executive pay
through 2015 at $199,000, the
same level as a Cabinet secretary,
and create a system under which
the top people at the Postal Service
are paid based on performance.
The Senate bill faces an uncer-
tain future. The House version,
approved in committee last year,
would create a national com-
mission with the power to scrap
no-layoff clauses in employee
contracts and make other wide-
ranging cuts.
This of course kicks the can
down the road, complained Sen.
John McCain, R-Ariz., who unsuc-
cessfully pushed for a commission
in the Senate bill. He said the cur-
rent proposal failed to address lon-
ger-term fixes and delayed major
decisions. Well be on the floor
in two years addressing this issue
again, because it is not a solution.
Noting that more people
every year are switching to the
Internet to send letters and pay
bills, Donahoe called the Postal
Services business model bro-
ken. The agency has estimated
that the Senate bill would only
provide it enough liquidity to con-
tinue operating for two years or
three years.

Dear EarthTalk: Ive heard that many
air fresheners contain toxic chemicals. Are
there any green-friendly, non-toxic air
fresheners out there, or how can I make
my own? Jenny Rae, Bolton, MA

It is true that some air fresheners on the
market today make use of harsh chemicals
to eliminate or overpower odors. Many air
fresheners contain nerve-deadening chemicals
that coat your nasal passages and temporarily
block your sense of smell, reports National
Geographics The Green Guide. Some of the
most offensive ingredientsvolatile organic
compounds (VOCs), benzene and formalde-
hydecan cause headaches and nausea and
aggravate asthma, and have been linked to
neurological damage and cancer.
Perhaps even more worrisome, though,
are dispersants known as phthalates that
cause hormonal and reproductive issues, birth
defects and developmental disorders. A 2007
review by the non-profit Natural Resources
Defense Council (NRDC) found that 12 out of
14 widely available air fresheners contained
phthalates. Some of the air fresheners that
tested positive for phthalates were labeled as
all-natural or unscented. Two of the worst
offenders analyzed by NRDC were sold at
Walgreens stores under that companys own
generic label. As a result, Walgreens removed
the products from its shelves, and the manu-
facturer which made them reformulated their
product line without phthalates.
Given such problems with air fresheners,
many of us are looking for non-toxic alterna-
tives. Of course, first and foremost would be
opening a window or two, as nothing beats
good old fresh air for shooing away offensive
odors. But sometimes the weather doesnt
cooperate for leaving windows and doors
open. The website greenhome.com suggests
filling a small spray bottle with a mixture
of four teaspoons baking soda and four cups
of water and then spraying the solution in a
fine mist to neutralizer odors. Similarly, The
Green Guide suggests mixing a few drops of
an organic essential oil (lemon, orange and
lavender are popular choices) with distilled or
purified water and spraying with a mister.
Another all-natural way to get rid of nasty
smells is by wrapping cloves and cinnamon
in cheesecloth and boiling them in water.
Yet another consists of leaving herbal bou-
quets standing in open dishes where the fra-
grance can dissipate throughout a room. And
dont underestimate the air-cleansing power
of houseplants, which can improve indoor
air quality by filtering toxins out of the air.
Mother Nature Network reports that aloe vera
plants can filter benzene and formaldehyde
out of the air, that spider plants are known
for their ability to take xylene and carbon
monoxide out of the indoor environment,
and that gerber daisies excel at removing the
trichloroethylene that may come home with
your dry cleaning.
Greenhome.com also sells a variety of non-
toxic air fresheners for those less inclined to
making their own. EcoDiscoveries AirZyme
makes use of natural enzymes to eliminate
smoke, pet or other smells with a few sprays.
Other options include The Naturals Air
Freshener & Deodorizer and Tru Melanges
Beeswax and Soy candles.

IT WAS NEWS THEN
POLITICS
Moderately confused
By ALAN FRAM
Associated Press
WASHINGTON
Democrats and Republicans
alike say they want to pre-
vent the cost of federal loans
from ballooning for millions
of students. But the effort
has evolved into an election-
year battle each side is using
to embarrass the other and
spotlight its own priorities to
voters.
In the latest political chess
move, Speaker John Boehner,
R-Ohio, scheduled a House
vote for Friday on legisla-
tion preventing the 3.4 per-
cent interest rate on subsi-
dized Stafford student loans
from doubling as scheduled
on July 1. In a bitter pill
for Democrats, the measures
$5.9 billion cost would be paid
for with cuts from President
Barack Obamas health care
overhaul bill.
Boehner announced the
vote in an abruptly called
news conference Wednesday
that followed days of pound-
ing by Obama and congres-
sional Democrats. It also
came two days after the
GOPs presumptive presiden-
tial candidate, Mitt Romney,
tried defusing the issue by
embracing the call for freez-
ing interest rates, putting
more pressure on congressio-
nal Republicans to back the
effort or look isolated.
Congressional GOP aides
said Republicans were work-
ing on the legislation for some
time and unveiled their bill to
try to prevent Obama from
escalating the dispute. The
aides spoke on condition of
anonymity to discuss party
strategy.
Hours before Boehner
spoke, Obama wrapped up
a two-day trip to three col-
lege campuses in which he
cast himself as the students
champion and Republicans as
the ones standing in the way
of resolving the problem.
The backdrop to the student
loan fight is a push by both par-
ties to appeal to younger voters,
an Obama strength in his 2008
election win, and to signal their
sensitivity to families strug-
gles during the economys pro-
longed slump. Letting the loan
rate double this summer would
cost 7.4 million Stafford loan
recipients an average $1,000,
according to the administra-
tion.
At the same time, each
side wants to force the other
to take politically uncomfort-
able votes.
The House GOP bill is
paid by cutting health care
programs Democrats treasure.
The Senate Democratic ver-
sion would force high-earn-
ing owners of some privately
owned corporations to pay
more Social Security and
Medicare payroll taxes, vio-
lating Republicans anti-tax
doctrine.
The House GOP bill
would cut a $17 billion pre-
vention and public health
fund Obamas law created
for immunization campaigns,
research, screenings and well-
ness education. Republicans
have dubbed it a slush fund
and sought to cut it to finance
a variety of projects, succeed-
ing earlier this year to help
pay for maintaining doctors
Medicare reimbursements.
It didnt take long for the
measure to stir up opposition
among Democrats.
We should be able to work
together to find offsets that
dont penalize middle-class
families or undermine efforts
to help more Americans stay
healthy, said White House
spokesman Nick Papas,
who expressed confidence
that a compromise could be
reached.

WASHINGTON
Veterans are waiting too long
for mental health care and are
unaware that hospitals some-
times manipulate records in
an attempt to make it appear
that standards are being met,
a former Veterans Affairs
hospital official told senators
Wednesday.
Hospitals are gaming the
system, with administra-
tors so focused on achiev-
ing performance targets, in
part to get bonuses, that they
dont always do whats best
for the patient, said Nicholas
Tolentino, former mental
health administrative officer
at the VA medical center in
Manchester, N.H.
Tolentino told the Senate
Veterans Affairs Committee
that he knew the problems
were not unique to Manchester
because of the work he did
with other hospital officials
nationwide.
Department policy requires
that veterans receive a mental
health treatment appointment
within 14 days of their desired
date. Tolentino said his hospi-
tal met that target by simply
eliminating the opportunity
for patients to state a desired
appointment date. Instead, the
veteran was told when the
next appointment was avail-
able. Then, that appointment,
often weeks or months away,
was entered into the VAs
records as the desired date.
If thats being done, its
totally unacceptable, William
Schoenhard, a deputy under-
secretary, told the committee.
Tolentino no longer works at
the hospital. He said he resigned
about four months ago when he
said it did not take meaningful
action against a pharmacologist
who appeared to be intoxicated
while providing patient care.
Jim Blue, a spokesman for the
VAs New England region,
said the VA would thoroughly
review the allegations. But
lets be clear: The employees
(at Manchester) take the qual-
ity of mental health care they
provide very seriously. When
problems are identified they
are promptly addressed, Blue
said.
The departments inspector
general released a report two
days ago disputing the VAs
claim that 95 percent of vet-
erans seeking mental health
care get personal evaluations
within 14 days of their first
request. The report character-
ized VA data as unreliable and
said about half the patients are
seen that quickly. The other
half wait an average of 50 days,
according to the investigation.
Congress is particularly
concerned about patient wait-
times. Lawmakers say the sto-
ries they hear from veterans
contradict the rosier reports
they get from the department.
Investigators said at the
hearing that VA schedulers
were not following proper pro-
cedure when setting appoint-
ments, which made the data
unreliable and inaccurate.
Schoenhard did not dis-
pute the findings. He prom-
ised lawmakers to work with
investigators to put in place
more reliable measurements.
Schoenhard also noted that
the VA will be adding 1,600
mental health workers as well
as 300 support staff. VA offi-
cials said that additional hir-
ing is already underway and
that they plan for the addition-
al hires to be completed over
the next five to nine months.
Lawmakers said the depart-
ment doesnt have a reliable
model to determine exactly
where those workers should
be placed and noted that its
already struggling to fill some
1,500 openings.
Sen. Patty Murray, who
heads the committee, said
VA care providers are delay-
ing follow-up appointments
with mental health patients
because their schedules are
too full. She complained the
department has been slow to
tackle the problem.

WASHINGTON
Conflicting images of the
Secret Service and new ques-
tions about the militarys han-
dling of the prostitution scan-
dal in Colombia emerged on
Capitol Hill on Wednesday.
Senators challenged
Homeland Security Secretary
Janet Napolitano to reconcile
the image of agents who pro-
tect the presidents life with
the dozen officers and super-
visors implicated in the sordid
affair.
Meanwhile, the Defense
Department acknowledged to
other lawmakers that it knew
that six military personnel
had broken curfew rules prior
to President Barack Obamas
arrival at a Latin American
summit in Cartagena but let
them remain on the job. In
addition to the Secret Service
officers and supervisors,
another dozen military per-
sonnel were implicated in
the prostitution scandal. The
chairman of the Senate Armed
Services Committee, Sen.
Carl Levin, D-Mich., ques-
tioned the militarys decision.
That may have been the
right decision, but it raises
an interesting question as to
whether ... that was an appro-
priate decision to let them
continue on the mission, given
the seriousness of the mis-
sion, Levin told reporters.
The Defense Department
on Wednesday briefed Levin
and Sen. John McCain,
R-Ariz., about its investiga-
tion. McCain complained
afterward that the Pentagon
officials who met with them
provided appallingly little
new information and were
woefully unprepared to
answer even the most basic
questions about what hap-
pened in Cartagena.
Navy Capt. John Kirby, a
Pentagon spokesman, said the
Defense Department would
keep Congress as informed
as possible as the investiga-
tion proceeds.
Testifying at an oversight
hearing, Napolitano told the
Senate Judiciary Committee
that the incident involving as
many as 20 women appeared
to be an isolated case. She
said the agencys Office of
Professional Responsibility
had never received previous
complaints in the past 2 1/2
years, but it was unclear why
she specified that period.
The chairman of the
Judiciary Committee, Sen.
Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., praised
the Secret Service as wise,
very professional men and
women and called it shock-
ing that so many employees
were involved in the scandal.
It really was, I think, a
huge disappointment to the
men and women of the Secret
Service to begin with, who
uphold very high standards
and who feel their own repu-
tations are now besmirched
by the actions of a few,
Napolitano said.
Sen. Lindsey Graham,
R-S.C., pressed Napolitano
about whether she believes
this was the first incident
involving prostitutes and the
Secret Service.
The only reason I suggest
we need to maybe look a little
harder is because were lucky
to have found out about this.
If there hadnt been an argu-
ment between one of the agents
and, I guess, a prostitute, for
lack of a better word, about
money, wed probably have
never known about this.
If the misconduct is part of
a pattern, Napolitano added,
that would be a surprise to
me.
The scandal erupted after
a fight over payment between
a Colombian prostitute and
a Secret Service employee
spilled into the hallway of
the Hotel Caribe ahead of
Obamas arrival at the Summit
of the Americas.
The Secret Service
announced this week that all 12
implicated officers or supervi-
sors had been dealt with: eight
forced out, one stripped of his
security clearance and three
cleared of wrongdoing, all
within two weeks of the night
in question.
A dozen military person-
nel have also been implicated,
and Defense Secretary Leon
Panetta said they had their
security clearances suspended.
The military said at the time the
scandal broke that the enlist-
ees involved were confined
to quarters and under orders
to have no contact with other
people. It said the men would
be returned to the United States
at the end of their mission.

cent.
WASHINGTON (AP)
Federal Reserve Chairman
Ben Bernanke left open the
possibility Wednesday of fur-
ther Fed action to stimulate the
economy.
Speaking at a news confer-
ence, Bernanke walked a fine
rhetorical line: He signaled
that the Fed would act more
aggressively to reduce unem-
ployment if needed but not
at the cost of high inflation.
Bernanke spoke after Fed
policymakers ended a two-day
meeting by reiterating their
plan to keep interest rates near
zero through at least late 2014.
The officials said the economy
is growing moderately and that
the pace will likely pick up.
But they also cautioned
that unemployment wont fall
sharply anytime soon and that
risks from Europes debt crisis
remain.
In a statement, they noted
that inflation has risen, mainly
because of higher gasoline
prices, but said they expect the
spike to be temporary.
Since the financial crisis
struck, the Fed has pursued
two rounds of purchases of
Treasury bonds and mortgage-
backed securities to try to push
down long-term interest rates.
The goal has been to encour-
age borrowing and spending.
Bernanke told reporters
that more bond purchases, or
other steps by the Fed, are
still an option if the economy
weakens.
Those tools remain very
much on the table, Bernanke
said.
Its decision to leave its pol-
icy unchanged had been wide-
ly expected, and reaction in
financial markets was muted.
The yield on the 10-year
Treasury note edged higher,
and the dollar rose slightly
against other currencies. Stock
indexes didnt move much.
David Jones, chief econo-
mist at DMJ Advisors, said
he thinks the Fed will keep
another round of bond buy-
ing as an option through the
rest of this year. But with the
economy slowly improving,
Jones said, the Fed is unlikely
to implement it this year.
Critics have expressed con-
cerns that the central bank has
raised the risk of higher infla-
tion with its campaign to push
rates down as long as it has.
In a recent opinion piece
in Fortune magazine, Shelia
Bair, former chairman of the
Federal Deposit Insurance
Corp., argued that the central
bank might be creating a bond
market bubble similar to the
housing bubble.
The Fed should declare
victory and not intervene by
making further purchases of
bonds, Bair said.
Asked about this criticism,
Bernanke countered its a lit-
tle premature to declare victo-
ry in the Feds drive to stimu-
late the economy and lower
unemployment. Bernanke
has frequently pointed to the
chronically weak housing
market and the more than 5
million Americans who have
been unemployed for more
than six months.
At the same time, Bernanke
sought to show that he is mind-
ful of the risks of high infla-
tion. He said the Fed would
shape its policy to keep infla-
tion no higher than its target of
2 percent over the long term.
The Feds decision to keep
its current easy-credit stance
was approved on a 9-1 vote of
the central banks policy com-
mittee, composed of Fed board
members in Washington and
five regional bank presidents.

Tyler Rice, a youth bowler at the Delphos Recreation
Center, became the third youth bowler to roll a 300
game as he rolled the perfecto this season. Rice, 16,
has been bowling for only seven years and is following
in his father, Dons, footsteps as he has rolled several
perfect games of his own. Tylers average is 194 and he
also has a 670 series. He attended the Junior Bowling
Camp for youth bowlers in August and helps other
bowlers with their game.

Its here!
The National Football League Draft
is here!!!
Talk about anti-climactic at least
for the first two picks.
How long will it take the Indianapolis
Colts and Washington Redskins to take
before they announce that Andrew Luck
and Robert Griffin III are the first two
picks, the latest cant-miss quarter-
backs in this now 3-day extravaganza?
Wouldnt it be funny if Redskins (remem-
ber, mercurial owner Daniel Snyder?)
threw a monkey wrench into the whole
thing and either traded down heck, look
what they gave up to move up to that No.
2 spot! or took someone else?
As fans of our two Ohio teams know,
taking a franchise quarterback with the
first pick is a dicey proposition at best.
Think about it: were Tim Couch,
Akili Smith, David Klingler, et al NFL-
ready quarterbacks? In my most humble,
objective, non-partisan opinion, I think
they were. However, when the quarter-
back is the first cog in a rebuilding team,
that is asking for trouble.
They got the snot beaten out of them
because they had no one else around
them: their lines were average at best, as
were their receivers and running backs,
and the defenses werent exactly top-
ranked; which is why they were drafting
so high to begin with. In the Couch case,
he was the first pick of the post-expan-
sion Browns, so it was a true building job
and he didnt have a chance.
Case in point: Ben Roethlisberger.
He fell into an ideal situation when the
Steelers drafted him 11th in 2004.
He wasnt the savior or the fran-
chise quarterback. He didnt have to
come in and carry the team or become
the face of the team.
They had a great team around him: a
veteran and tough offensive line, a run-
ning game led by future Hall-of-Famer
Jerome Bettis, a solid enough receiving
corps and, of course, that rough-and-
ready defense.
He was just another cog in the sys-
tem.
Only now is he becoming the face of
the franchise, that the offense has been
put completely into his hands.
Just a thought.
Think about it: for every Peyton
Manning and Philip Rivers, there are
how many Ryan Leafs?
Metta World Peace, the former
Ron Artest, has been suspended for
seven games by the National Basketball
Association.
The more I watch the replay of that
elbow he gave to James Harden, the
more I scratch my head and wonder
What in the hecklydarn were you think-
ing? or were you not?
He needs to be suspended and I think
even he agrees.
Thats the minimum.
I am a Laker fan ever since the
days of the trade of Kareem Abdul-
Jabbar from the Milwaukee Bucks to the
West Coast because he was my favorite
player but I also agree with Bob
Ryan of the Boston Globe that as long
as Harden was legitimately out (he was
cleared to return to play after the resul-
tant concussion, thankfully) so should
World Peace.
I have thought that for years, espe-
cially in violent sports such as hockey.
The Todd Bertuzzi case comes to mind
from 2004 but you get the picture.
By all accounts, World Peace became
a much better individual a less angry
guy since his infamous Brawl at the
Palace incident. He got some help, has
done some good things and has appar-
ently and I have no reason to doubt
sincerely changed.
That is irrelevant to me. What World
Peace did Sunday was inexcusable and
he seems to agree; if you or I did that on
the street, wed go to jail. There would
be no look what I do for the community
.... alibis.
Actions do have consequences.

Racers upset Div. 1 Rockets 3-1
By JIMMY GOLEN
BOSTON Tim Thomas
had every reason to be con-
fident heading into over-
time of Game 7 in Bostons
first-round playoff series
against the Washington
Capitals.
After all, the Bruins
won three seventh
games in last years
run to the Stanley Cup
title.
Im probably
in shock, Thomas said
Wednesday night after Joel
Ward beat him at 2:57 of
overtime to lead the Capitals
to a 2-1 victory over Boston
and give Washington a spot in
the Eastern Conference semi-
finals. I really believed that
we were going to win.
I really had a deep feeling
that this wasnt the end of the
road for us, that this wasnt
going to be the last game of
the season.
Thomas made 26 saves for
Boston, which was hoping to
become the first team to repeat
as Stanley Cup champions
since the Detroit Red Wings
in 1997-98. Tyler Seguin
scored the Bruins goal as
rookie Braden Holtby stopped
31 shots for Washington in
the seventh 1-goal game of
the series.
Matt Hendricks also
scored for the Capitals, who
barely made the playoffs this
year after finishing atop the
Eastern Conference in each
of the previous two seasons
and winning just one post-
season series combined.
Its a nice sense of accom-
plishment to be able to
get over the hump,
Capitals defenseman
Karl Alzner said. Its
nice to turn the page
and maybe were writ-
ing a new script.
It was the first time
in NHL history that a playoff
series had seven games deter-
mined by one goal. Four of the
games went to overtime and
two others were decided with
less than two minutes left in
regulation.
It was very close, Boston
captain Zdeno Chara said.
We shouldnt be disappoint-
ed in what we did this season.
We just came up short.
Hendricks scored midway
through the first period and
Seguin tied it in the second.
It stayed that way through the
third, with Washington kill-
ing off a penalty in the final 3
minutes to send the game into
overtime.
Patrice Bergeron had a
chance to win it in the first
minute of the extra period
but he couldnt get off a solid
shot from Holtbys right. Two
minutes later, the Capitals
broke into the Boston zone
with former Bruin Mike
Knuble leading a 2-on-1.
Knuble shot and Thomas
left the rebound out where
Ward could reach it with his
backhander.
The building fell silent as
the Capitals celebrated just
their third postseason series
win since a run to the Stanley
Cup finals in 1998. Some fans
littered the ice with debris but
the Bruins waited patiently
for the postgame handshake.
Im proud of our team
against the defending Stanley
Cup champs, said Holtby,
a third-stringer making his
playoff debut because of inju-
ries to Tomas Vokoun and
Michal Neuvirth. I dont get
rattled. Its one of the things
I learned: To be able to get
to this level you have to be
like that.
The Capitals earned more
than 100 points in the previ-
ous three seasons, leading the
NHL with 121 in 2010, but
had little to show for it once
the postseason started. They
won just two series in three
years and have not made it
out of the East semis since
1998, when they made it to
the Stanley Cup finals but
were swept by Detroit.
This years regular season
wasnt as successful, with
coach Bruce Boudreau fired
in November and replaced by
Dale Hunter.
But the playoffs have a
chance to be even better.
Waiting until the final
games of the season to clinch
a playoff berth and getting
bumped up to a No. 7 seed
on the final day, the Capitals
won three times in Boston
they also won Games 2 and
5. Their second-round oppo-
nent wont be determined
until after Game 7s tonight
between Ottawa and the New
York Rangers, and Florida
and New Jersey.
The Bruins needed an
unprecedented three Game
7s to win the Cup last year,
including the 4-0 victory
over Vancouver that gave the
Original Six franchise its first
title since 1972. Thomas also
had a shutout in the Game 7
win over Tampa Bay in the
Eastern Conference finals.
But that streak ended mid-
way through the first period
when Carlson shot from right
point and Hendricks tipped it
past Thomas right shoulder
to give Capitals a 1-0 lead.
Bruins tied it with 5:33 left
in the second when Holtby
kicked Andrew Ferences
shot wide to his left to Johnny
Boychuk, whose shot trickled
through the goalies pads and
into the crease. Seguin dove for
it, with two defenders crashing
on top of him, and swiped it
into the net to make it 1-1.
Capitals beat Bruins 2-1 in OT to advance
By JOE KAY
CINCINNATI Scott
Rolen joked that his first homer
since July 6 was a career-saver.
Its no exaggeration to call it a
game-saver.
Rolen led off the seventh
inning with a homer that ended
Barry Zitos shutout and the
Cincinnati Reds rallied for a
4-2 victory Wednesday night,
extending the San Francisco
Giants misery at Great
American Ball Park.
The 37-year-old third base-
man was batting .169 when
he homered on a full-count
pitch, ending a power drought
brought on by his shoulder
injury that needed surgery last
season. Finally, Rolen in
the last year of his contract
could round the bases.
(Shortstop Zack) Cozart
was saying that its a career
saver, Rolen said. Thats
kind of been the joke here.
Thats what happens when you
get one hit every two weeks.
A career saver?
Well, it wasnt quite that,
manager Dusty Baker said.
When youre not swinging the
bat well, lifes miserable. Hes
hit some balls hard.
The Giants couldnt stop
the Reds after Rolens break-
through homer, setting up
another rough game at Great
American. San Francisco has
dropped seven straight and
12-of-16 at the ballpark. Zito
remains winless there in six
starts.
Clay Hensley (1-2) threw
wildly for an error after slipping
as he fielded a bunt. Jeremy
Affeldts wild pitch allowed
the go-ahead run to score.
Jose Arredondo (2-0)
had one perfect inning. Sean
Marshall pitched the ninth and
remained perfect in four save
chances.
The Reds have won five of
their last six overall.
Before the game, the Giants
put Aubrey Huff on the 15-day
disabled list while he gets
treatment for an anxiety attack.
Huff left the team after hav-
ing a tough time in a game
on Saturday. He could rejoin
the team in San Francisco next
weekend.
Pablo Sandoval singled in
the third inning, giving him a
hit in each of the first 18 games.
That matches Johnny Ruckers
mark with the 1945 New York
Giants for best season-opening
streak in franchise history.
Neither team did much
through the first six innings,
when a steady rain forced the
grounds crew to spread bags
of drying material around the
infield at each changeover.
Angel Pagan hit a solo
homer in the third off Bronson
Arroyo, giving him a 10-game
hitting streak that matches his
career high. Arroyo lasted five
innings, giving up at least one
hit in each of them. He allowed
nine in all and one walk but
escaped with only two runs
one earned.
The Giants went only 1-for-
6 with runners in scoring posi-
tion, a recent theme. Theyre
batting .156 with runners on
second or third base in the last
10 games.
Until Wednesday night,
Zito has struggled at Great
American, going 0-2 in five
starts with 7.20 ERA. The
left-hander allowed only four
singles through six shutout
innings, then left after giving
up Rolens leadoff homer in
the seventh.
Hensley, who hadnt
allowed an earned run this sea-
son, gave up a single by Ryan
Ludwick and set up the Reds
go-ahead runs with a slip. He
momentarily lost his footing
while fielding Ryan Hanigans
bunt, then threw wildly to first.
METS 5, MARLINS 1
NEW YORK David Wright hit
a two-run homer to become the Mets
career RBIs leader, R.A. Dickey out-
pitched Mark Buehrle in a crafty duel
Wednesday night and New York beat
the Miami Marlins 5-1.
The Marlins have lost four in a row,
scoring only four runs in the skid. Jose
Reyes singled in the eighth inning for his
first hit against his former team in eight
at-bats, eliciting yet another chorus of
lusty boos from the crowd that once
adored him.
Wrights homer gave him 735 RBIs
and broke a tie with Darryl Strawberry
for the team lead.
In contrast to the matchup of aces
Johan Santana and Josh Johnson on
Tuesday night that the Mets ended up
winning 2-1, Dickey (3-1) and Buehrle
(1-3) rarely reached 85 mph on the
scoreboard radar.
NATIONALS 7, PADRES 2
SAN DIEGO Jordan Zimmermann
helped Washington set a team record for
the longest scoreless innings streak for
starters before Orlando Hudson hom-
ered and the NL East-leading Nationals
beat San Diego.
Zimmermann (1-1) held San Diego
without a run for four innings to give
Washington starters 26 straight score-
less frames. Tom Gorzelanny got his
first save.
Nationals (14-4) won their fourth
straight and are off to their best 18-game
start since coming to Washington in 2005.
Theyve won all six series this year.
CARDINALS 5, CUBS 1
CHICAGO David Freese hom-
ered and Lance Lynn threw eight strong
innings to lead the St. Louis Cardinals
over Chicago.
Lynn (4-0) held the Cubs to six hits
in becoming the first 4-game winner in
the majors and helping the Cardinals
avoid a 3-game sweep.
Freeses 2-run shot in the sixth
capped a 3-run, 2-out rally against start-
er Chris Volstad (0-3). Freese added an
RBI double in the eighth.
PHILLIES 7, DIAMONDBACKS 2
PHOENIX Cole Hamels pitched
eight strong innings and also hit a 2-run
single as the Philadelphia Phillies beat
Arizona.
Hamels (3-1) gave up a leadoff
double to Willie Bloomquist in the first,
then retired the next 18 batters. The left-
hander allowed two runs and four hits.
He struck out seven, including his final
three hitters.
The Diamondbacks have lost seven
out of nine. Trevor Cahill (1-2) gave up
four runs and six hits in 5 1/3 innings.
ASTROS 7, BREWERS 5
MILWAUKEE Jose Altuve had a
career-best four hits and J.D. Martinez
had three hits and three RBIs as the
Houston Astros ended their 11-game
losing streak to Milwaukee.
Chris Snyder put the Astros ahead
for good at 5-4 with an RBI single in the
seventh off Jose Veras (2-1) after Brian
Bogusevic doubled and stole third.
Wilton Lopez (2-0) pitched a 1-2-3
sixth and Brett Myers got three outs for
his third save.
ROCKIES 2, PIRATES 1, 1ST
GAME; PIRATES 5, ROCKIES 1, 2ND
GAME
PITTSBURGH Pedro Alvarez hit
his second home run of the day, Charlie
Morton pitched seven solid innings and
the Pittsburgh Pirates beat Colorado to
split a doubleheader.
Alvarez helped Pittsburghs tepid
offense tie a season high in runs in the
second game, hitting a solo shot off
Jhoulys Chacin (0-2) to cap a 5-run fifth.
Morton (1-1) benefited from an
offense that broke out of a season-long
slump, at least for an inning.
In the opener, Colorado broke up
James McDonalds no-hit bid in the sev-
enth. Matt Reynolds (2-0) won in relief
and Rafael Betancourt worked the ninth
for his sixth save.
Chris Resop (0-2) lost after relieving
McDonald in the eighth.
Pittsburgh set a major-league record
by playing its 18th straight game starting
the season in which neither team scored
more than five runs, surpassing the
standard set by the 1943 Detroit Tigers.
BRAVES 4, DODGERS 2
LOS ANGELES Chipper Jones
singled home the go-ahead run in his
final regular-season at-bat at Dodger
Stadium after Dan Uggla tied it with his
second RBI single earlier in the ninth
inning to lead Atlanta.
Dodgers closer Javy Guerra (1-3)
lost for the third time in his last five
appearances after giving up five con-
secutive one-out hits in the ninth. The
second one was a liner that ricocheted
off his face but manager Don Mattingly
kept the right-hander in there and he
surrendered RBI singles to Uggla, Jones
and Jason Heyward.
Reds rally in 7th to beat Giants 4-2
CLEVELAND Now the
Kansas City Royals want to
start a streak they can be proud
of a winning streak.
Billy Butler hit two of
Kansas Citys four home runs
to help the Royals snap a
12-game losing streak by beat-
ing the Cleveland Indians 8-2
on Wednesday night.
Butlers 2-run blast off
Ubaldo Jimenez (2-1) put the
Royals ahead in the first inning.
He added a solo shot in the
ninth off reliever Jairo Asencio,
following Alex Gordons 3-run
homer against the reliever.
Eric Hosmers 2-run homer
in the fifth made it 4-0 the
Royals largest lead since April
8, when they beat the Los
Angeles Angels 7-3.
Im just glad we did it,
manager Ned Yost said of end-
ing the streak, which tied for
the third-longest in team history,
seven short of the Royals record
worst in 2005. I didnt care how
we did it. Its a big monkey off
our back. Now we can focus on
day-to-day baseball.
Before the game, Yost
expressed confidence the Royals
would start winning. He rattled
off several instances of when he
managed Milwaukee in 2003-
08 and the Brewers followed a
long losing streak with a num-
ber of wins.
The youngest team in the
majors did it in a big way and
got good pitching, too.
Luke Hochevar (2-1) allowed
four hits and two runs over 6 1/3
innings, recovering from a hor-
rendous home opener start April
13 when Cleveland battered him
for seven runs in the first inning
of an 8-3 loss.
The Royals went 0-10 on the
homestand.
Hochevar worked on a ten-
der right ankle that he hurt in his
previous start. He appeared to
stumble off the mound when he
had to cover first base to retire
the first batter he faced.
Gordon had three hits, rais-
ing his average 30 points to .197.
He fouled off several pitches in
the ninth before connecting for
his third homer.
In the fourth, Gordon reached
on a 1-out single when his
grounder went between short-
stop Asdrubal Cabrera and sec-
ond baseman Jason Kipnis, who
both pulled up and appeared
to think the other had it. One
out later, Hosmer hit his fifth
homer.
Cleveland loaded the bases
with one out in the sixth on a
single and two walks. Hosmer
made a diving stop of a sharp
grounder by Travis Hafner and
threw to second for a force as a
run scored to make it 4-1.
Hochevar left after walking
Kipnis with one out in the sev-
enth.
Tommy Hottovy, called up
from Triple-A Omaha, promptly
hit Casey Kotchman, who was
in an 0-for-21 slump, with his
first pitch. Aaron Cunningham
followed with a single up the
middle to score Kipnis, cutting
the Royals lead to 4-2.
Indians outfielder Shin-Soo
Choo sat out with a tight left
hamstring. Choo is a .600 hit-
ter (15-of-25) with 12 RBIs in
his career against Hochevar. He
isnt expected to go to the dis-
abled list.
RANGERS 7, YANKEES 3
ARLINGTON, Texas Adrian
Beltre hit a long home run and had
a pair of RBI singles as the Texas
Rangers beat the New York Yankees
7-3 Wednesday night, winning their
sixth consecutive series to start a sea-
son for the first time in franchise his-
tory.
Mike Napoli and Mitch Moreland
also homered for the 2-time defend-
ing AL champion Rangers (15-4), who
have the best record in the majors.
Texas was ahead to stay after
Beltre led off the second against Phil
Hughes (1-3) with his third homer, a
441-foot drive that landed high on the
grassy hill in straightaway center field.
Beltres first run-scoring single came an
inning later when Texas added three
more runs.
RED SOX 7, TWINS 6
MINNEAPOLIS Mike Aviles
homered and the Boston Red Sox
bullpen just barely avoided another big
collapse in a victory over Minnesota.
Alfredo Aceves struck out Denard
Span with the bases loaded in the ninth
inning for his fourth save in six chances
as the Red Sox completed the sweep.
Dustin Pedroia tripled, doubled and
singled for the Red Sox. The Twins
have dropped five in a row.
Clay Buchholz (2-1) had another
shaky outing for the Red Sox, giving up
five runs on 10 hits with three walks in
5 1/3 innings.
The Red Sox led 7-1 after five
Royals end 12-game losing
streak, beat Indians 8-2

MLB LEADERS
By TIM REYNOLDS
MIAMI Theres one day
left in the NBAs truncated
regular season and only two
of the eight first-round post-
season matchups opening this
weekend have all the
particulars decided.
Indiana has home-
court over Orlando
and San Antonio has it
against Utah.
Just about every-
thing else related to
the playoff bracket
plus the scoring race
and Charlottes quest
to avoid becoming the
NBAs worst team ever
gets decided over the
course of 13 games tonight.
Anyone want to play the
Chicago Bulls or Miami Heat?
Wholl host Game 1 in the
Celtics-Hawks and Clippers-
Grizzlies series? Will Dallas
open its title defense against
Oklahoma City in a Western
Conference finals rematch?
When the seasons final
whistle blows, all those
answers will be known. Some
first-round schedules may
come out today as well.
When the playoffs begin
and these teams have at it,
people will look back and say,
Well, they got here, NBA
Commissioner David Stern
said Wednesday. And we
are glad they got here with a
66-game schedule rather than
a 50-game schedule.
First, a look at the confer-
ence races, starting with the
East:
Chicago is the No. 1
seed, Miami is No. 2 and those
teams will face either New
York or Philadelphia in the
first round.
For the Knicks, a win over
Charlotte would lock up a
first-round meeting with the
Heat, one that would surely
rekindle memories of New
Yorks upset of Miami during
the 1999 playoffs, the last sea-
son shortened by labor strife.
In my mind, were
playing the Knicks, Heat
guard Dwyane Wade said
Wednesday. Thats the mind-
set I have.
The Knicks left for Charlotte
Wednesday after beating the
Los Angeles Clippers at home,
with players told to pack for
a few days on the road. Not
only is the opponent unknown,
so is the first-round schedule,
meaning the Knicks could find
themselves facing a Game 1 in
Chicago or Miami as early as
Saturday afternoon.
If the Knicks lose in
Charlotte, that opens the door
for Philadelphia to grab the No.
7 seed and a date with Miami.
A Knicks loss and 76ers win
in Detroit means Philadelphia
would meet Miami for the
second straight year in the
first round. The 76ers 1-11
against the Heat since the start
of last season are resting
Andre Iguodala, Elton
Brand, Lou Williams and
Thaddeus Young.
No. 4 seed Boston
will open against No. 5
Atlanta. But if either the
Hawks win today against
Dallas or if the Celtics
fall in their finale against
Milwaukee, itll be
Atlanta with home-court
advantage, despite having
the lower seed.
Orlando wrapped up
No. 6 by beating Charlotte on
Wednesday. The Magic went
3-1 against Indiana this sea-
son, though all those games
were before center Dwight
Howard was lost for the sea-
son because of back surgery.
Making matters worse, the
Magic saw Glen Davis leave
Wednesdays game with what
the team said was a sprained
right ankle.
In the West, San Antonio
and Utah will meet in the
1-versus-8 series. Much like
in the East, everything else
remains a bit muddled.
The Spurs stayed alive in
the race with Chicago for the
No. 1 overall record by beat-
ing Phoenix on Wednesday
night, despite sending Tim
Duncan, Manu Ginobili and
Tony Parker home earlier in
the day to rest. The Spurs
will be without them today
at Golden State as well. Also
missing: Spurs coach Gregg
Popovich, who is tending to a
personal matter.
The Clippers and Memphis
will play in a 4-versus-5
matchup. If the Grizzlies beat
Orlando today, theyll have
home-court edge against the
Clippers.
No. 2 Oklahoma City may
meet Denver or Dallas. If the
Nuggets beat Minnesota, that
will pin the defending cham-
pion Mavericks to the No. 7
seed and a series with the
Thunder.
So the Dallas-Atlanta game
will be big on plenty of levels,
since it may have implications
for not only the Mavericks
and Hawks but the Celtics,
Thunder, Nuggets and Los
Angeles Lakers as well.
Kobe Bryants Lakers will
be the No. 3 seed and theyll
face Denver if the Nuggets
win or Mavericks lose.
Theres more on the
docket than games with just
playoff ramifications.
Charlotte is trying to avoid
infamy.
Now losers of 22 straight
after falling 102-95 at Orlando
on Wednesday night, the
Bobcats are 7-58 on the sea-
son. A victory over the Knicks
today would lift their win-
ning percentage for the sea-
son to .121 still terrible
but good enough to avoid fin-
ishing behind the 1972-73
Philadelphia 76ers (9-73,
.110) as the worst team in
league history.
Then theres the other
races, the individual variety.
Kevin Durant scored 32
points for Oklahoma City on
Wednesday, ending his sea-
son at 28.03 points per game.
If Bryant plays today in the
Lakers finale, he would need
38 points to claim his third scor-
ing crown. Otherwise, Durant
wins his third straight title.
Most of the other stat races
are wrapped up. Howard
will be the leagues leading
rebounder for the fourth time
in five years. Bostons Rajon
Rondo will be tops in assists
per game and Oklahoma Citys
Serge Ibaka will easily claim
the blocks-per-game crown.
SPURS 110, SUNS 106
PHOENIX Patty Mills scored
27 points and the depleted Spurs beat
Phoenix 110-106 on Wednesday night
in a game overshadowed by the fact it
could have been Steve Nashs last in a
Suns uniform.
The crowd stood and chanted We
want Nash with about 5 minutes to go,
leading coach Alvin Gentry to put the
38-year-old point guard in the game
for a few plays before removing him
to rousing cheers. Nash will be a free
agent after this season.
The Spurs, already guaranteed the
No. 1 playoff spot in the Western
Conference, won their ninth straight
to remain tied with Chicago for the
best record in the NBA with one game
to play.
The Bulls hold the tie-breaker with
a win over San Antonio in their regular-
season meeting.
Phoenix was eliminated from play-
off contention with a loss at Utah on
Tuesday night.
Nash had eight points and seven
assists. Completing his eighth season,
the 2-time league MVP left the game
with 3:08 to go in the third quarter and
probably would have stayed on the
sideline had the crowd not demanded
his return.
BULLS 92, PACERS 87
INDIANAPOLIS Kyle Korver
scored 20 points to help Chicago beat
Indiana and remain tied for the best
record in the league with one to play.
The Bulls and Spurs are both 49-16
heading into todays season finales.
Chicago hosts Cleveland, while San
Antonio closes at Golden State.
Carlos Boozer scored 16 points
and Joakim Noah had 14 points and
14 rebounds for Chicago. Derrick Rose
finished with 10 points on 3-for-11
shooting in 27 minutes.
Lance Stephenson scored a career-
high 22 points in his first career start for
Indiana, which rested Danny Granger
and Leandro Barbosa with the No. 3
playoff spot in the East locked up.
NUGGETS 106, THUNDER 101
OKLAHOMA CITY Ty Lawson
scored 25 points, Kenneth Faried
added 13 points and 10 rebounds
and Denver beat Oklahoma City to
avoid the No. 8 seed in the Western
Conference.
Kevin Durant scored 32 points.
With a win today at Minnesota,
Denver would be the No. 6 seed and
face the Lakers in the first round of
playoffs. Otherwise, Nuggets could fall
to No. 7 and have a rematch with
Oklahoma City.
KNICKS 99, CLIPPERS 93
NEW YORK JR Smith scored
21 points to help New York hold off Los
Angeles and close in on the No. 7 seed
in the Eastern Conference.
Carmelo Anthony scored 17 points
for the Knicks, who will draw Miami
in the first round with one more win
or a loss by Philadelphia. New York
closes its season today at Charlotte,
while the 76ers visit Detroit. If New
York loses and Philadelphia wins, the
Knicks will fall to the No. 8 seed and
face Chicago.
The loss dropped the Clippers a
half-game behind Memphis for the No.
4 seed in the West. Los Angeles needs
the Grizzlies to lose to Orlando today to
open the playoffs at home.
MAGIC 102, BOBCATS 95
ORLANDO, Fla. J.J. Redick had
six 3-pointers and scored a career-high
31 points as Orlando sent Charlotte to
its 22nd consecutive loss.
Ryan Anderson added 24 points
and 13 rebounds for the Magic, who
snapped a 3-game losing streak and
secured the sixth seed in the East but
lost forward Glen Davis to a sprained
right ankle. His injury could drain the
Magics already shallow pool of big
men following Dwight Howards sea-
son-ending back surgery.
D.J. Augustin scored 23 points for
the Bobcats (7-58).
76ERS 90, BUCKS 85
MILWAUKEE Evan Turner
scored a career-high 29 points and
Philadelphia beat Milwaukee despite
resting some key players for the play-
offs.
Jodie Meeks added 27 points for
the 76ers, who eliminated the Bucks
from playoff contention with their vic-
tory over New Jersey on Monday.
Brandon Jennings scored 19
points for the Bucks, who were play-
ing short-handed in their home finale.
The Bucks had only nine players take
the floor, with Jennings the only regu-
lar starter on the court. Monta Ellis,
Drew Gooden, Ersan Ilyasova and Luc
Richard Mbah a Moute all sat.
WIZARDS 96, CAVALIERS 85
CLEVELAND John Wall had
21 points and 13 assists to help
Washington extend its longest winning
streak since 2007 to five games with a
win over Cleveland.
Wall had 12 points, six assists and
four steals in the third quarter, when he
accounted for 24 of Washingtons 28
points and helped the Wizards open
a 14-point lead. Wall added seven
rebounds and seven steals.
D.J. Kennedy led Cleveland with
12 points in his NBA debut, while
Kyrie Irving, expected to be named the
NBAs rookie of the year next month,
played only 10 minutes all in the first
quarter of the Cavs home finale.
Playoff races going down
to final day of season
(Continued from Page 6)
innings but their beleaguered bullpen
hung on with 3 2/3 scoreless innings of
relief. Last Saturday, Boston blew a 9-0
lead against the Yankees.
Liam Hendriks (0-1) gave up seven
runs on nine hits and two walks in four
innings.
MARINERS 9, TIGERS 1
DETROIT Felix Hernandez
allowed only a run in seven innings,
rookie Alex Liddi hit a 2-run homer and
the Seattle Mariners went on to beat the
slumping Detroit Tigers.
Hernandez (2-1) gave up a solo
homer to Brennan Boesch in the third
and not much else. The right-hander
yielded four hits and three walks, giving
all of the free passes in the first.
Adam Wilk (0-3) allowed six runs
and eight hits in just 2-plus innings. The
rookie gave up just two runs in each of
his first two starts.
RAYS 3, ANGELS 2
Jeremy Hellickson overcame early
struggles to pitch six effective innings
and Ben Zobrist homered.
Hellickson (3-0), who held Los
Angeles hitless in six at-bats with run-
ners in scoring position through the
second, allowed one run and five hits.
Zobrist hit a solo shot off C.J. Wilson
(2-2) during a 2-run third.
Albert Pujols went 0-for-3, includ-
ing two strikeouts, extending his hitless
streak to 19 at-bats. The Angels slugger
has not had a hit in five consecutive
starts, which is the longest stretch in
his big-league career, but did walk in
the eighth.
ORIOLES 3, BLUE JAYS 0
BALTIMORE Jason Hammel
pitched seven innings of 4-hit ball, while
Wilson Betemit and Chris Davis hom-
ered.
After limiting Toronto to one run
on Tuesday, Baltimore became the
first team this season to shut out the
Blue Jays. The Orioles are 4-1 against
Toronto after going 6-12 last year.
Hammel (3-0) struck out seven and
walked one in lowering his ERA to 1.73
over four starts. The right-hander came
to Baltimore in February with reliever
Matt Lindstrom in the trade that sent
Jeremy Guthrie to Colorado.
ATHLETICS 5, WHITE SOX 4, 14 INN.
OAKLAND, Calif. Kila Kaaihue
blooped a winning single in the 14th
inning soon after Yoenis Cespedes
tying 2-run homer.
Cespedes delivered his fifth homer
of the season against Hector Santiago
(0-1) after Chicago took the lead in the
top half. Then Kaaihue came through
with one out in a game that lasted 3
hours, 56 minutes.

Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
Annie tells writer
close the book
Dear Annie: A year ago,
I fell in love with Bobby
over the Internet. Two
months later, he said he
loved me. I was stunned.
But a little later, he told me
he was in a relationship and
the girl was suicidal. He was
afraid that if he broke it off,
shed kill herself. Ive had
suicidal thoughts myself and
understood.
Bobby sent me wonderful
messages that made me feel
terrific. I was happier than
ever, even though he was
terribly depressed about his
situation. We made a promise
that as long as we had each
other, we wouldnt
kill ourselves. After
a while, I lost all
desire to hurt
myself. He gave me
a reason to live.
But, Annie,
sometimes Bobby
acts like a player.
He flirts with other
women. When
I get upset, he
always apologizes.
I checked his online
profile and saw messages to
and from his current girl-
friend. In one, he told her
he wasnt ready to let go of
her and was sorry they broke
up. He never told me they
werent together anymore.
I posted a message, too,
giving him a piece of my
mind. But since hes been
suicidal, I worry about him
and frequently check to make
sure hes been online and is
OK. Whenever people say
something mean about him,
I always defend him.
The truth is, I still love
him, but Im afraid to talk
to him again. Do you think
theres any hope for the two
of us, or is this just another
book in my life that I have
to close? -- Desperate for
Answers In Michigan
Dear Michigan: Close
the book and throw it away.
Bobby is not honest, and any
relationship with him would
eventually involve misery
for you. We think you know
this. Were glad you no lon-
ger have suicidal thoughts,
but if they should return,
please get some counseling
and talk to someone who can
truly help you. You should
never rely on another person
for your happiness.
Dear Annie: My two
siblings and I are planning
a family vacation that will
include renting a house.
They each have kids who
still live at home and will be
coming along. One sibling is
spending a lot of money just
to travel to us.
My husband absolutely
refuses to pay for one-third
the cost of the house, since
we only require one bedroom
and they require more. But if
we divide it by the number
of bedrooms, one family will
end up paying almost half of
the cost of the entire place.
And if we divide it by the
number of people, the fam-
ily already paying the most
to travel here will be paying
the most for the house, as
well. And that sibling has
always been very generous
with me.
I am upset with my hus-
band, and now my siblings
are upset with me. What is
fair? -- No Good Solution for
this Arithmetic Problem
Dear Solution: Your hus-
bands position is not unrea-
sonable. The more people
who use the premises the
more it costs to run the place
and supply the food. Unless
those who spend less money
to get there want to subsidize
the others, it would
be fair to discuss
this with everyone
and work out a
solution together.
Dear Annie:
This is in response
to Mom in
Connecticut, who
asked about email-
ing thank-you
notes.
Few children
would be eager to
handwrite a thank-you note,
but I have the solution. When
my children were young, they
were not permitted to enjoy
the gift (spend the money,
watch the DVD, play with
the toy, etc.) until a hand-
written thank-you was ready
to be mailed. Now I dont
have to remind them, as they
know it is expected of them.
-- Mom in Pennsylvania
Dear Mom: We wish
more parents were as consci-
entious as you. It would help
with a lot of problems -- not
only thank-you notes.

FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 2012
Your imprint is likely to be more
widely felt in the year ahead than it
ever was in the past, mostly because
youll have your fingers in many
new pies. Success is now possible in
areas where you previously met with
disappointment.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
-- Dont wait for others to put a fun
activity together, be the one who
initiates good times. If you do, this
can be an extremely enjoyable day.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --
Those who love you are likely to do
all they can to help satisfy both your
material and emotional interests as
unobtrusively as possible. Show your
appreciation.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
-- Its one of those rare days where
some of your more expansive hopes
have better- than-average chances of
being gratified. Be optimistic about
the outcome of events.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Dont
sit around waiting for something
good to happen. If you get on things
immediately and strike while the
iron is hot, you can realize some
gangbusters opportunities.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) --
Forget about all the petty things going
on in your life and focus your energies
and efforts on endeavors that are near
and dear to you. When you do, life can
be pretty darn great.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) --
Collective endeavors look extremely
promising at this point in time. Check
to see if there is room for you in a
coalition that is engaged in something
interesting.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
-- One of your better assets is your
knack for encouraging people to get
together to work on a common goal.
Instinctively you will know who
should be part of this effort.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) -- If youve been considering
making a major change that you believe
would better your working conditions,
nows the day to implement it. Delay
will only dull your fervor.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
-- Trust your instincts, common sense
and good judgment. Snap decisions
could actually turn out to be better
than those over which you ponder for
some time.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- Timing can be extremely important
in situations where you are trying to
put together some kind of deal. Dont
present your case without having all
your ducks in a row, and dont delay
the arrangement of said quackers,
either.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) --
You might not have any fresh ideas
yourself, but there will be no one
better than you for improving upon
the innovations of others. Youll know
how to polish up what they envision.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
-- This could be one of your better
days, with everything going well.
The happiest surprise, however, will
be running into excellent bargains for
everything you need.
