Weaker al-Qaida still plots against United States

By KIMBERLY DOZIER AP Intelligence Writer WASHINGTON A year after the U.S. raid that killed Osama bin Laden, alQaida is hobbled and hunted, too busy surviving for the moment to carry out another Sept. 11-style attack on U.S. soil. But the terrorist network dreams still of payback, and U.S. counterterrorist officials warn that, in time, its offshoots may deliver. A decade of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that has cost the U.S. about $1.28 trillion and 6,300 U.S. troops lives has forced al-Qaidas affiliates to regroup, from Yemen to Iraq. Bin Ladens No. 2, Ayman al-Zawahri, is thought to be hiding, out of U.S. reach, in Pakistans mountains, just as bin Laden was for so many years. Its wishful thinking to say al-Qaida is on the brink of defeat, says Seth Jones, a Rand analyst and adviser to U.S. special operations forces. They have increased global presence, the number of attacks by affiliates has

risen, and in some places like Yemen, theyve expanded control of territory. Its a complicated, somewhat murky picture for Americans to grasp. U.S. officials say bin Ladens old team is all but dismantled. But they say new branches are hitting Western targets and U.S. allies overseas, and still aspire to match their parent organizations milestone of Sept. 11, 2001. The deadliest is in Yemen. They are continuing to try to again, carry out an attack against U.S. persons inside of Yemen, as well as against the homeland, White House counterterrorism advisor John Brennan said Sunday on ABCs This Week.

WASHINGTON (AP) The Secret Service does not often get a black eye behind those oh-so-cool sunglasses. Its got a shiner now. The public face of the service is one of steely professionals in impeccable suits, wearing discreet earpieces and packing even more discreet weapons. Agents are expressionless except for their eversearching gaze, lethal automatons ready to die for a president. By reputation, stoked by Hollywood myth and the publics fleeting glances at darkwindowed motorcades, they are anything but party animals. But what happened in Colombia didnt stay in Colombia. The exposed Secret Service secrets have put the storied agency under a different line of fire, as lawmakers and internal investigators try to get to the bottom of officers behavior and any implications for the safety of those they protect, starting with President Barack Obama. Eight Secret Service officers have been fired and three disciplined, and a dozen military personnel have had their security clearances suspended, in the unfolding investigation of sexual misbehavior by agents who traveled to Cartagena, Colombia, this month to set up security for Obamas visit. The agency says it is also looking into whether agents hired prostitutes and strippers in El Salvador in advance of the presidents trip last year. More reports are emerging of allegedly ribald conduct, off duty on official trips. John Brennan, Obamas top counterterrorism adviser, said Sunday investigators want to know whether there was any time these activities put at risk either classified information or security. He said officials are satisfied the Colombian episode did not pose a threat to the president. Obama joked about agents being on a shorter leash in his remarks to the White House Correspondents Association dinner Saturday night. I really do enjoy attending these dinners, he said. In fact, I had a lot more material prepared, but I have to get the Secret Service home in time for their new curfew.

Pakistan sends mixed signals concerning US drone attack

By SEBASTIAN ABBOT and ASIF SHAHZAD Associated Press ISLAMABAD Pakistani officials today condemned the U.S. for carrying out its first drone strike in the country since parliament demanded they end two weeks ago, but qualified that it should be seen in light of the presence of Islamist militants on Pakistani soil. The mixed signals indicate the delicate tightrope the government is trying to walk with the American attacks. They are very unpopular in Pakistan, so opposing them makes sense for political reasons. But the government does not seem to want the strikes to torpedo attempts to patch up ties with the U.S., which could free up over $1 billion in American military aid. Pakistans Foreign Ministry issued a statement saying the strikes which killed three suspected militants in the North Waziristan tribal area Sunday are in total contravention of international law and established norms of interstate relations. The government of Pakistan has consistently maintained that drone attacks are violative of its territorial integrity and sovereignty, it said. Pakistans parliament demanded an end to the strikes in mid-April when it approved new guidelines for the countrys relationship with the U.S. Washington had hoped that parliaments decision would pave the way for Pakistan to reopen supply lines for NATO troops in Afghanistan that were closed in November in retaliation for American airstrikes that accidentally killed 24

Pakistani troops. The drone attacks have been a stumbling block. But Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani struck a moderate tone today when he seemed to link the strikes to the continued ability of Islamist militants fighting the government and international forces in Afghanistan to operate on Pakistans territory. He pointed out that the resolution passed by parliament also stipulated that foreign fighters must be expelled from the country and Pakistani soil should not be used to attack other countries. So, when we plan a strategy (with the U.S.), all these aspects would be discussed, said Gilani. The U.S. has repeatedly demanded that Pakistan target Taliban and al-Qaida militants who use its territory to launch cross-border attacks. The Pakistani military has refused, claiming its forces are stretched too thin by operations against homegrown militants battling the government. However, many analysts believe Pakistan is reluctant to target militants with whom it has historical ties because they could be useful allies in Afghanistan after foreign forces withdraw. The drone issue is complicated by the fact that some elements of the Pakistani government, including the military, have helped the U.S. carry out strikes in the past. That cooperation has come under strain as the relationship between the two countries has deteriorated, but many analysts believe some in the government still support the program at some level.

Japan PM visits White House

By MAttHeW PenninGton Associated Press WASHINGTON Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda, in his meeting today with President Barack Obama, is looking to reaffirm Japans strong alliance with the U.S. and boost his leadership credentials as his popularity flags at home. Noda, who came to power in September and is Japans sixth prime minister in six years, faces huge challenges in reviving a long-slumbering economy and helping his nation recover from the worst nuclear crisis since Chernobyl. His Oval Office meeting and working lunch with Obama, to be followed by a gala dinner hosted by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, could offer Noda some brief relief from domestic woes. The two sides are determined to show that U.S.-Japan ties are as close as ever, particularly after the assistance the U.S. lent following the massive March 2011 earthquake and tsunami that triggered a meltdown at a nuclear plant. The U.S. alliance with Japan, the worlds third-largest economy, is at the core of Obamas expanded engagement in Asia a diplomatic thrust motivated in part by a (Continued from page 1) 2 anniversary of the night raid. U.S. helicopters swooped down on bin Ladens compound in the Pakistani army town of Abbottabad, killing him, one of his sons, two couriers and their wives. The last view for Americans of the mastermind behind the Sept. 11 attacks was that of a wizened old man sitting in front of an old television, wrapped in a blanket. The world may never see photographic proof of his death. U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg in Washington ruled last week that the Obama administration, under the Freedom of Information Act, would not have to turn over images of bin Laden during or after the raid. Verbal descriptions of the death and burial of Osama Bin Laden will have to suffice, Boasberg wrote in his ruling on the lawsuit by the public interest group Judicial desire to counter the growing economic and military clout of strategic rival China. The U.S. has about 50,000 troops in Japan, and both sides never tire of saying that their defense cooperation underpins regional peace and security. Among the issues for discussion will be North Koreas recent failed rocket launch and expectation it could soon undertake its third-ever nuclear test. They will also discuss democratic reforms in Myanmar and the international pressure on Iran over its nuclear program. Noda is the first Japanese leader to be hosted at the White House since his Democratic Party of Japan, which had an initially awkward relationship with Washington, came to power in the fall of 2009. When the party came to power in 2009, it had favored a foreign policy more independent of the United States. Obama and Noda will hold a joint news conference. Noda is seen in Washington as capable and practical, and the Obama administration will be hoping he can weather his political problems and stick around longer than his immediate predecessors. His poll numbers have dwindled to below 30 percent as he pushes an unpopular rise in a consumption tax to tackle Japans vast national debt and loomWatch. Bin Ladens killing and al-Qaidas stumbling efforts to regroup are now the national security centerpiece of President Barack Obamas re-election campaign. The White House frequently cites the presidents decision to approve the raid, with only a 50-50 chance that bin Laden was even at the compound. Obama could have gone down in history as the man who put the Navy SEALs and the relationship with Pakistan in jeopardy, while failing to catch the alQaida leader. Al-Qaida was and is our No. 1 enemy, White House spokesman Jay Carney said last week. So its a part of his foreign policy record, obviously, but its also part of a very serious endeavor to keep our country safe. How safe remains in question. U.S. officials say al-Qaida is less able to carry out a complex attack like Sept. 11

ing social security crisis to cope with the nations aging population. Days before Nodas visit, the U.S. and Japan announced an agreement on shifting about 9,000 Marines stationed on the Japanese island of Okinawa. The plan would spread U.S. forces more widely in the Asia-Pacific as part of a rebalancing of U.S. defense priorities after a decade of war in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is a move also aimed at easing what Okinawans view as a burdensome U.S. military presence and goes some way to ameliorate a long-term irritant in bilateral relations. But theres still no timetable and the plan faces opposition in Okinawa and in the U.S. Congress. No breakthroughs on trade were anticipated at todays summit. In November, Noda signaled Japans interest in the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a pact under negotiation by nine nations and a key plank in U.S. trade strategy to crank up its exports to support Americas fragile recovery after the global slowdown. While Noda is believed to be personally supportive of declaring Japans intent to join the talks, he faces opposition at home, even within his own party. The pact could demand an assault on the heavy subsidies enjoyed by Japans farmers. and they rule out al-Qaidas ability to attack with weapons of mass destruction in the coming year. These officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they say publicly identifying themselves could make them a target of the terrorist group. U.S. counterterrorist forces have killed roughly half of al-Qaidas top 20 leaders since the raid. That includes U.S.-born cleric Anwar alAwlaki, killed by a drone in Yemen last September, less than six months after bin Ladens death. Only a few of the original al-Qaida team remain, and most of the new names on the U.S. target lists are relative unknowns, officials say. The last terror attack was seven years ago in London and they havent had any major attacks in the U.S. says Peter Bergen, an al-Qaida expert who once met bin Laden. They are recruiting no-hopers and dead-enders.

Patrol reminds motorists that safety belts save lives

There is simply no disputing that wearing a safety belt can save your life. That is why the Ohio State Highway Patrol is encouraging all motorists to buckle-up. In 2011 nearly 65 percent of the people killed on Ohios roadways were not wearing a safety belt. During the first three months of 2012, safety belt citations by Ohio troopers are up 19 percent over 2011 and during this time unbelted traffic fatalities decreases by 16 percent. Its simple safety belts save lives and reduce injury in crashes, said Lt. Brant Zemelka, commander of the Lima Post. It is the easiest thing you can do to protect yourself, your family and your friends. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety

Administration, safety belts save over 13,000 lives every year and remain the single most effective thing you can do to protect yourself in a crash. Choosing to wear a safety belt is a personal choice and Ohios safety belt compliance rate indicates that motorists are doing so more now than ever. According to Ohios 2010 Observational Seat Belt Survey, 83.8 percent of motorists were found to be in compliance with Ohios safety belt law. This is a significant increase from the 72.9 percent observed in 2002. While these rates have steadily increased, far too many Ohioans still do not buckle-up. Ohios safety belt law remains a secondary violation, however troopers continue zero tolerance enforcement when motorists are stopped for other violations and are found not be wearing their belt. Troopers ask that you wear your safety belt every time and insist that those who travel with you buckle-up as well.

COLUMBUS (AP) Ohios tourism director says the proposed new model for funding tourism marketing would make Ohio more competitive in the region as it lures visitors. Republican Gov. John Kasichs proposal would double that allocation to $10 million and pay for tourism marketing campaigns through growth in sales-tax revenue, instead of allotments from the states general revenue fund. The proposal would limit funding to $10 million, which is roughly the average tourism budget among Ohio and its five neighboring states, according to the U.S. Travel Association. Ohios spending still would trail tourism budgets of $11.8 million in Kentucky and $27.4 million in Michigan, whose national television commercial features scenes of a sunset, a river and a football Saturday near the University of Michigan, with a voice-over by actor Tim Allen. Ohios major ad campaign, a $1.8 million effort, runs regionally in May and June in cities such as Detroit, Indianapolis and Pittsburgh. The Buckeye State has a lot we can do to talk about the richness of the experience in Ohio, but were not going to spend $27 million, I believe, Kasich said.

Ohio legislation targets wrong-way drivers

TOLEDO (AP) Several wrong-way auto accidents in Ohio, including a crash that killed three sorority sisters, have pushed lawmakers to introduce legislation that would bring bigger fines and longer license suspensions for wrong-way drivers, especially those whove been drinking or driving under suspension. The proposed bill calls for a wrong-way driver who kills or injures another person to lose their license for at least two years and up to 10. Two fatal accidents that claimed six lives within two weeks in March in the Toledo area have put a spotlight on wrong-way crashes. The Ohio Department of Transportation and the Ohio Highway Patrol reviewed interstate roadways in the Toledo and Bowling Green area, finding that signs exceed federal requirements. Investigators are still trying to figure out why a wrongway driver on Interstate 75 in northwest Ohio slammed head-on into car carrying five Bowling Green State University students who were By DAN SEWELL Associated Press leaving for a spring break trip in March. Three of the young women died along with the wrong-way driver. The patrol is awaiting the results of toxicology testing on the driver, but they have said theyve been unable to determine where and why she got on the wrong side of the roadway. State numbers show 32 wrong-way crashes caused five deaths in Ohio last year. The proposed legislation introduced by state Sen. Mark Wagoner, a Republican from suburban Toledo, does not address how to prevent the accidents, but it would increase the penalties. You cant always stop conduct. You cant legislate common sense, Wagoner told The Blade (http://bit.ly/ JIMDin ) newspaper. But if people do it, there will be very stiff consequences. Driving on the wrong side of a divided interstate currently is a minor misdemeanor that carries a maximum fine of $150 but no jail time. Drivers who have been guilty of other traffic violations within a year can face jail and a slightly

School districts cuts show schools woes

WEST CHESTER One by one, the parents of Lakota Schools came down the auditorium steps to stand before the microphone. Some were dressed in business attire; shirt-and-tie, sport coats, dresses. Others were casual, in jeans and T-shirts. All were unhappy about what is happening in one of Ohios highest-rated school districts, as it deals with tough budget pressures that schools across the state are having. We are cutting every students ability to achieve his full potential, said longtime resident John Trygier. I wanted them to have the Lakota education I had, said Lisa Babcock, a mother of five. Are you going to drive all the parents out of the school district? Sitting around a table at the front and facing an audience of hundreds in this northern Cincinnati suburb, school administrators and board members on the verbal firing line werent happy, either. We have no choice, Karen Mantia, the superintendent, said repeatedly. School officials had just laid out measures to slash $10.5 million, more than 6 percent, from the districts budget. Thats 141 lost jobs, most of them teachers, one fewer class period a day, less instructional time and less art, music and physical education. Such scenes are playing out around Ohio. Its becoming more and more common across the state, and across all types of districts, even districts with generally high levels of performance, said Damon Asbury, legislative director for the Ohio School Boards association. A survey by the research group Policy Matters Ohio concluded that two of every three districts face shortfalls. From the biggest such as Cleveland and Cincinnati, to small ones such as Waterloo in northeast Ohio and Monroe in southwest Ohio, school boards are hacking at their 2012-13 budgets, with hundreds of jobs already slated for elimination. The states school funding formula, reliant on property taxes and willingness of voters to approve levies, was declared unconstitutionally inequitable in 1997 by the Ohio Supreme Court. New approaches offered since by governors and legislators have fallen by the wayside. While among issues with the formula is the gap in property values between wealthy and poor districts, the recession hit some suburban districts particularly hard. After years of double-digit enrollment growth that required building new schools and

higher fine. Under the new proposal, anyone who drives farther than 500 feet on the wrong side of a divided highway would have their license suspended up to a year. A person who is also convicted of driving while drunk would face a felony and a six to 18-month prison sentence. Wagoner said the penalties would not increase for someone who simply makes a wrong turn and quickly turns around. Everybody has gone the wrong-way on a one-way street at some point, Wagoner said.

His brother-in-law had been killed by a wrong-way driver in Cuyahoga County. Sen.

REYNOLDSBURG (AP) Ohio officials are considering the request of an animal owners widow for the return of five exotic animals that survived an October release. The state Agriculture Department meets today to review Marian Thompsons appeal of a state-issued quarantine of the animals. Officials are expected to defend the states authority to hold them on suspicion of infectious diseases. Thompsons husband, Terry Thompson, released dozens of wild creatures from their Zanesville farm Oct. 18 before killing himself. Authorities were forced to shoot 48 of the creatures. Three leopards, two primates and a bear survived and have been held at the Columbus Zoo. One leopard later had to be euthanized. Its unclear when a decision would be made on a release. The states standard six-month observation period for the animals ended Friday.

That southwest Ohio district fell into a state-declared fiscal emergency and is trying to climb out after finally passing a levy last November.

Theres a difference between a philosophy and a bumper sticker. Charles M. Schulz, American cartoonist (1922-2000)

Obama, Clintons deepen political and policy ties

By ANNE GEARAN Associated Press McLEAN, Va. There were no bear hugs on display, but President Barack Obama and former President Bill Clinton looked relaxed and friendly as they began a summer fundraising blitz that demonstrates their shared hopes for Democratic victory despite past differences. Although Clinton had dismissed Obama in 2008 as undeserving of the presidency his wife Hillary Rodham Clinton was then seeking, on Sunday evening Clinton warmly declared Barack Obama deserves to be reelected president of the United States. Obama is beating the clock to restore the nations economy to health, Clinton told about 500 cheering supporters who had paid as little at $1,000 and as much as $20,000 apiece to see, as Obama put it, two presidents for one. Digging out of similar financial holes has historically taken five to 10 years, Clinton said. Longtime Clinton backer and strategist Terry McAuliffe hosted the event, the first of three planned joint appearances for Clinton and Obama. By STEVE PEOPLES Associated Press Once a tense rivalry, the relationship between Obama and Bill and Hillary Clinton has evolved into a genuine political and policy partnership. Suspicions remain in both camps, but both sides have a strong incentive for making the alliance workable and lucrative. For Obama, Bill Clinton is a fundraising juggernaut, a powerful reminder to voters that a Democrat ran the White House the last time the economy was thriving. For the spotlight-loving former president, stronger ties with the White House and campaign headquarters mean he gets a hand in shaping the future of the party he led for nearly a decade. Obamas re-election campaign has put Bill Clinton on notice that he will be used as a top surrogate, further evidence of how far the two camps have come since the bitter days of the 2008 Democratic primary battle between Obama and Hillary Clinton, now his secretary of state. Neither Clinton nor Obama mentioned presumed Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney by name, but both Democrats zinged Romney for his economic plan and foreign policy credentials. that calls for fewer public appearances as the campaign hopes to show a softer side of the former Massachusetts governor who struggles at times to connect with average Americans. Thats a dramatic difference from Obama, who feeds on large crowds and has scheduled his first formal campaign rallies for May 5. While the Republican presidential contest has been raging for more than a year, the Romney campaign concedes that most general election voters havent yet paid close attention. The campaign now sees an opportunity to reintroduce their candidate to the independents and moderate voters Hispanics and younger voters, among them who will ultimately help decide Novembers general election. His focus will shift to Obamas record, his own economic credentials and what aides call inspirational themes. Im absolutely convinced that this nation is the greatest nation on earth, and it is so because of the American people, a people who stand united when called upon by leaders to be united, Romney said at Otterbein University Friday, offering unusually measured remarks even for the former businessmans standards mentioning

Four scouts will be involved in the district pinewood derby race in Lima. Adam Eickholt, Aaron Osting, Chad Rode and Chad Calvelage will compete after finishing in the top four in the Delphos race. The Jefferson boys track team edged Lincolnview Tuesday 67-65. Delphos took control of the field events, winning first place in the shot put (Tony Closson, 467 ), discus (Dan Wilson, 1474), long jump (Damon Ulm, 196), and high jump (Ulm, 58). The Video Connection, Fifth Street and Fort Jennings Road, will hold a grand opening ceremony May 5 with Mayor Harold Wieging on hand to cut the ribbon. The store, which opened for business in late January, is Delphos latest addition to the fast-growing movie rental business. 50 Years Ago 1962 Six members of Trinity Methodist Church were in Cincinnati to attend the 22nd annual meeting of the Ohio Conference, Womans Society of Christian Service of the Methodist Church.

The Delphos Youth Baseball Program is in danger of folding up this year, George Raabe, president of the local program said. Delphos has for many years had one of the finest programs in the state and has provided an opportunity for boys of all ages to play baseball. Raabe said he hoped that a sufficient number of persons would be interested in coaching and managing teams to continue this program this year.

IT WAS NEWS THEN

GOP parrying Democrats

WASHINGTON (AP) Now that Mitt Romney has emerged as the likely GOP presidential nominee, congressional Republicans increasingly are taking their cues from him even if it causes heartburn and grumbling among conservatives unhappy about having to beat a tactical retreat. That dynamic was on full display last week as House Speaker John Boehner coped with the dust-up generated by President Barack Obama over student loans and Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell sidestepped Democratic attempts to brand Republicans as soft on the issue of violence against women. Its a defensive game for Republicans, determined to avoid their stumbles last year when they lost the political battle over renewing Obamas payroll tax cut. Some folks in an election year would say you need to take tough issues off the table, said Rep. Rob Woodall, R-Ga. Other folks in an election year say you need to bring your best solutions to the toughest issues, and Im in that latter camp. The matter of student loan interest rates was on the back burner until barely a week ago when the White House elevated it to the top of its agenda. Obama pounded away during visits to university campuses in North Carolina, Iowa and Colorado, pivotal states in the November election. Interest rates are scheduled to double, from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent, on July 1 due to a quirk in a law Democrats muscled through Congress five years ago. Romney endorsed the $6 billion move to avert interest rate increase, even before Obama arrived at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. Boehner quickly set a vote, using unspent money from Obamas unpopular health care law to pay for the plan. By Friday, the issue was mostly deflated.

Etch A Sketch: Romney tones down rhetoric

WESTERVILLE Mitt Romneys Etch A Sketch moment is at hand. Now that hes the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Romney is shifting away from the redmeat issues of abortion and immigration and instead holding more events highlighting his appeal as a regular guy. The transformation played out over the weekend when he emerged publicly for the first time in days at a central Ohio university carrying a hamburger and fries in a Styrofoam container. In a small room that featured more television cameras than students, Romney chatted about economic issues facing young people as he picked through his greasy lunch. Romneys appearance at Otterbein University wasnt the full strategic shakeup from primary to general election that some Republicans feared, but it offered a glimpse into what aides say will be a shift in tone and focus in the coming weeks as Romney fights to deny President Barack Obama a second term. He will favor more intimate settings, like the Ohio classroom, and a schedule

Obamas likely GOP opponent basically wants to do what they did before, on steroids, Clinton said, which will get you the same consequences you got before, on steroids. Obama said he and Hillary Clinton have spent the past three-and-a-half years cleaning up after other folks messes. He ridiculed the presumptive nominee on the other side for suddenly saying our No. 1 enemy isnt alQaida, its Russia. I didnt make that up, Obama said to loud laughter. I suddenly thought maybe I didnt check the calendar, and were back in 1975. Obama stood smiling, arms crossed, as Bill Clinton spoke. They complimented one anothers performance in office, but with few personal asides or anecdotes that would suggest they are close or speak often. Clinton guffawed when Obama made gentle fun of him, and himself, by noting that every presidential candidate always says the next election is crucial. Obama acknowledged that he was about to make the same argument. Well, let me tell you, he said to laughter and applause, this one matters.

Moderately confused

WASHINGTON It was fun. It was odd. It was just a little bit unseemly. Doubtless youve heard plenty by now of President Obamas slow jam, which, for all you drips out there, refers to an R&B ballad or downtempo song. You, too, can find this on Wikipedia. During a visit to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Obama and late-night comedian Jimmy Fallon pushed the presidents plan to preserve low studentloan rates through a rhythmic rendering of his talking points set to music. Fallon, playing a one-man Greek chorus, interspersed commentary, such as: Aw yeah, you should listen to the president. Or as I like to call him, the Preezy of the United Steezy. It was, shall we say, a tad unusual for a sitting president. Wannabes will do nearly anything, as weve observed. But this particular skit went beyond the usual horn-tooting a la Bill Clinton -- or even the awkward stand-up Top Tens many candidates, including Mitt Romney, have endured for the sake of the sacrosanct youth vote. One could argue that Obamas Fallon appearance was quite well done, which it was for that sort of thing. The president played straight man and said or did noth-

Slow jamming the presidency

KATHLEEN PARKER

Obama by name only a handful of times. I will try and unite the American people, not divide us. But the stop at Otterbein University highlighted Romneys challenge: His style on the campaign trail is a study in contrasts. Romney is almost constantly cracking jokes with the people around him whether they are governors or college students or his staff. He likes practical jokes and fast food, whether cameras are rolling or not. But he is at other times incredibly disciplined, refusing to take impromptu questions from reporters or wade into difficult subjects unprepared. He often delivers remarks from a teleprompter an aid hes criticized Obama for using and he rarely displays emotion in public. Campaigning in Puerto Rico last month, he may have been the only person on a crowded stage not dancing. Indeed, despite the preparation and years of practice, Romney sometimes transmits an awkwardness even in intimate settings. Congratulations, he said in between bites of a hamburger after Otterbein senior Jeff Fabus described his struggle to pay for college.

Point of View
ing objectionable. He was, in a word, presidential, to the extent one can be under such circumstances. Even at the end when he said, Oh yeah, it was cool. Yet the effect was nearly narcotic, so strange that cognitive dissonance doesnt quite describe it. One had the uneasy feeling that something wrong was happening. The lead grown-up isnt supposed to act that way. On the other hand, as we who argue with ourselves like to say, if you can get kids to learn multiplication tables by setting them to rap, why not push student-loan relief with a little R&B? Maybe because youre the Preezy of the United Steezy? That Obama is a cool drink is no ones revelation. Hes the ice tinkling in the glass. Hes Muhammad Ali to Romneys, well, Romney. Its hard to come up with a more quintessential un-cool guy than the presumptive Republican nominee. What can you do? Theres no book for cool, though if there were,

Romney would have memorized and distilled it to a PowerPoint presentation. Then again, who really cares? Once youre beyond a certain age, cool becomes as attractive as a 60-year-old in jeggings. Young folks do get that youre not actually young or cool, nor do they really want you to be. Some of us learned this lesson along that garden path called Parenthood. The cool parents might be fun for an overnight -- you can get away with more -- but its nice to have a grown-up at home. Even the youth of America appreciate a grown-up in the White House. And though Obama is unfairly blessed with charm, pizazz and a natural athletes grace, he does not benefit necessarily from playing well with comics. The line is extra fine between humorous and silly. That Romney couldnt pull it off as well may be a surprise gift. He looked sadly uncomfortable while going through the paces with David Letterman, painfully reminiscent of Dustin Hoffman modeling scuba gear for his parents cocktail party. Then again, that may have been the only way to play it. Serious adults dont do silly well. The GOP is obviously mindful of the coolness gap and has issued a video ad in response to

Obamas late-night foray titled A Tale of Two Leaders. The ad juxtaposes Obamas slow jam with Romneys general election kickoff speech that is both earnest and heartfelt. It does not hurt that Romneys voice at times could be mistaken for Ronald Reagans. Implicit in the message (and the voice): Take your pick. Grown-up or cool dude? The answer should be obvious except for the fact that many consider the president grown up enough. His playalongs are just for fun, after all, though overplaying ones cool hand is risky as the very adult business of economic survival looms ever-more ominously. A candidates or an incumbents popularity with the young will hardly assuage voter angst come November. In the meantime, Obama would do well to pay attention to another comedian whose gravitas may be greater than the presidents among the late-night demographic. Said Comedy Centrals Jon Stewart: Youre the president. You dont have to do this (expletive) anymore. As for Romney, his safest bet is being proudly nerdy. As the cool know too well, nerds usually win in the end.

The Beavers were one out from a 7-4 victory and 8-game winning streak before Transylvania rallied with three runs in the bottom of the seventh and two in the eighth for a 9-8 win in the nightcap. Bluffton wrapped up its regular season at 25-15 and 11-5 in the conference while qualifying for a sixth straight HCAC tournament since it went to a 4-team format. Transylvania moved to 19-17-1 overall and 10-6 in the HCAC. Patton was sensational in the circle, facing just 18 batters through the first six innings, her only blemish a hit batter that was erased on a line-drive double-play ball. Transys Meiners broke up the no-hitter with a leadoff double to center in the top of the seventh. A walk and a Bluffton error loaded the bases with one out before Patton slammed the door with a strikeout and fly ball for her 10th victory of the season. Meagan Price (Toledo/ Springfield) continued to add to her school record when she drew a leadoff walk in game one. She crossed the dish on fellow senior Emily Manahans (Columbus/Bishop Watterson) infield single. Another walk to Price set up the Beavers in the top of the fifth inning. Katie Clark (New Palestine, Ind.) doubled home Price before another RBI single from Manahan made the score 4-0.

scored. Clark and Manahan both went 2-of-4 with Manahan driving in two runs. Kuzara drove in two with her fifthinning dinger. Pinch hitter Christina Hreror (Austintown/ Cardinal Mooney) was 1-for-1 in her trip to the plate. Transylvania jumped out to a 2-0 lead over the visitors on the strength of three firstinning singles and a hit batter. Two Bluffton miscues in the third allowed the Pioneers to open up a 4-0 advantage thanks to a pair of unearned runs. Bluffton responded emphatically with a 6-run outburst in the top of the fourth. Robertson singled through the left side before walks to Kuzara and Mackenzie Bedlion (Marshallville/ Smithville) loaded the sacks. Shelby Wade (Delaware/ Buckeye Valley) picked up Robertson and Kuzara and Bedlion came around when Natalie Nikitas (Jeffersonville, Ky.) reached on a Transy error. Wade and Shelby Erford (Paulding) crossed the plate when Clark ripped a single to right. Manahan capped the scoring with an RBI single up the gut for a 6-4 lead. A pair of singles and a Shelby Wade sacrifice bunt help Bluffton push its lead to 7-4 in the top of the seventh. Erford singled home Kuzara with an insurance run. The Beavers were on the verge of wrapping up a fourth straight sweep when a hit batter and a walk started a gamesaving rally for the home team. A single and a double knotted the score at seven, sending the finale into extra innings. Bluffton scored one in the eighth with the international tie-breaker in place but after a popped-up bunt, back-toback hits by the Pioneers sent Transy to a 9-8 victory over the Beavers. Katie Clark went 3-of-4 to go 5-of-8 for the afternoon, upping her team-best average to .448 for the regular season. Robertson, Kuzara and Erford all chipped in with two hits each. Kuzara scored two runs for the Beavers. Patton took the loss in game two, surrendering five runs on four hits in 1 2/3 innings of relief.

Both men and women placed 8th in the conference as Rose Hulman Institute of Technology won on the mens side and Hanover College won the womens title. Two individual event titles, two school records, several top-8 finishes and multiple personal records highlighted the championship for the Beavers. Leading the Bluffton women in field events was senior Megan Neal (Arlington). On Friday she won the HCAC title in the hammer throw for the third straight year with a toss of 44.37 meters (145-07 feet). She also threw a PR in the shot put with a toss of 10.28 meters (33-8.75 feet) to place 7th. Neal came back strong on day two to place 4th in javelin with a throw of 31.75 meters (104-2 feet). Sophomore Julie Court

(Galion) rounded out the field events for the Beavers on Saturday as she placed 6th overall in the discus. Her toss of 30.22 meters (99-02 feet) is also a personal best. On the track, sophomore Kayla Mullenhour (Delphos/ Jefferson) led the team in the 400-meter hurdles. On Friday, she ran a PR of 68.38 in the preliminaries to take the number-2 spot going into finals. Saturday, she dropped her time by two seconds and ran a new lifetime best of 66.48 for second place, just missing the title and the school record by 0.2 seconds. Sophomore Brandi Dominique (Wauseon) also highlighted the championship meet. During Fridays preliminaries, she set a new school record and personal best in the 800-meter run with a time of 2:21.40, which was also the fastest time going into finals. During Saturdays finals, she ended up placing 7th overall in the event. Dominique also placed 5th in the 1,500-meter run with a lifetime best time of 5:04.26. Leading the Bluffton men was freshman Jeff Parker (Bristol, Ind./Northridge). Parker won the HCAC title in the javelin by 12 feet. His throw of 185-6 feet (56.54 meters) is a new school record and a personal best by almost 20 feet. It is also currently ranked 35th in the nation. The mens 4x400-meter relay team led the track events with an 8th-place finish. The team of freshman Eric Dameron (Galion), freshman Josh Mattoon (Rawson/ Cory-Rawson), senior Andy Chaffee (Clarkston, Mich.) and sophomore Aaron Brown (Mechanicsburg) ran a time of 3:43.22. Several other personal records were set to highlight the meet for the men. Parker and freshman Rob Cook (Convoy/Crestview) both set new personal bests in the long jump with leaps of 6.03 meters (19-9.50 feet) and 5.71 meters (18-9 feet), respectively. Cook also set a new lifetime best in the shot put with a throw of 11.96 meters (39-3 feet). Dameron set a new personal best in the 400-meter dash with a time of 54.68. Browns time of 2:07.01 in the 800-meter is also a personal best. The conference championship marks the end of a very successful season. With a 20-athlete roster, the team has accumulated 108 personal records during the 7-week competitive season. -----Four-run 2nd all Franklin needs in shutout of Beavers FRANKLIN, Ind. - The Bluffton University baseball team dropped the series opener at Franklin 4-0 on a rainy Saturday. Bluffton saw its hopes for a berth in the Heartland Conference tournament take a huge hit as the Beavers fell to 16-19 overall and 9-11 in the HCAC. Franklin upped its season mark to 26-8 and 14-6 in the conference. Franklin scored in just one inning but six singles and walk added up to four earned runs for the home team in the second frame. Blufftons seven hits were spread out over six innings as Franklins Chris Hoopingarner struck out just one but induced 13 ground ball outs while improving to 5-2 on the season. Bluffton starter Kelly Barnes (Toledo/Christian) slipped to 3-3 after allowing the four runs on 13 hits in six innings of work. He walked two in the loss. Sophomore Airic Steagall (Hillsboro) paced the Beaver offense with a 2-of-3 afternoon at the plate.

Clippers rally from 27 down, stun Grizzlies 99-98

By TERESA M. WALKER The Associated Press MEMPHIS, Tenn. Chris Paul begged coach Vinny Del Negro to put him back into the game for the fourth quarter and not give up despite being down 21 points. The result was another Clippers comeback one of the greatest in NBA playoff history. Paul hit a pair of free throws with 23.7 seconds left and the Clippers rallied from a deficit that had been as much as 27 to stun the Memphis Grizzlies 99-98 Sunday night in the opening game of their Western Conference series. The key, Paul said, is to keep believing. Unfortunately, thats how we play, he added. We get killed in the first three quarters and in the fourth quarter we like to try to stand up for ourselves and we found a way to win tonight. The Clippers tied the NBA playoff record for largest deficit overcome at the end of three quarters, when they trailed by 21. I dont think Ive been part of a game like that ever, Clippers forward Blake Griffin said. It was unbelievable. Rudy Gay missed a 15-footer with 0.9 seconds left after the Grizzlies squandered a lead they held for the first 47 minutes, with a 24-point cushion disappearing in about nine minutes. The Clippers lost Caron Butler to a broken left hand and he thinks he caught his hand in Gays jersey on a screen. Head coach Vinny Del Negro said other players will have to step up. Nick Young did just that, scoring 19 points off the bench with three 3-pointers in the midst of the Clippers 26-1 run. Paul finished with 14 points while playing a team-high 38 minutes despite a groin injury that kept him out of the regular-season finale against the Knicks. Griffin had 17 and Butler 12 before leaving the game. Gay finished with 19 for Memphis. Mike Conley and O.J. Mayo had 17, and Marc Gasol scored 14. Game 2 is Wednesday night. The Clippers outscored the Grizzlies 35-13 in the fourth, the most points in the final period by a Memphis opponent this season. Los Angeles also hit 13-of-17 from the floor, including 5-of-6 beyond the arc after hitting only one the first three quarters. The Grizzlies looked ready to roll as they ran out to a 20-point lead in the first quarter and were up 27 twice in the third, the last on a pair of free throws by Mayo with 1:34 left. The Clippers finally got going in the fourth, as the Grizzlies looked like they shut it down too soon. They had five turnovers in the fourth. Even though the Clippers had seven themselves, the Grizzlies looked lost as they just lost the ball going into the lane or put up shots that had no chance of going in. We just got careless, Memphis coach Lionel Hollins said. We just lost a little bit of our discipline from a defensive perspective. But offensively, we just started walking it up and trying to throw it into the post instead of running it in. We ran earlier. We attacked. We were in transition earlier. We just stopped doing that and got conservative and it cost us. Reggie Evans gave the Clippers their first lead at 97-96 when he scored inside with 58 seconds left. Gay answered with 28 seconds to go with a 10-foot jumper on the right baseline over Paul, ending a drought where the Grizzlies went nearly 9 minutes without a field goal. Tony Allen fouled Paul, sending him to the line for the clinching free throws. Boston came back from 21 down after three quarters against New Jersey on May 25, 2002. The Grizzlies had won six straight overall and the last 11 on their home floor to grab the No. 4 seed and start this series at home. Mayo said there would be no sleep until they fix what went wrong. We turned something that we worked so hard for home-court advantage to an ugly loss in Game 1, Mayo added. Weve got to come back Game 2 with the attitude we cant quit. The Grizzlies seemed to be clicking all across the board. They even hit 11-of-16 from 3-point range after ranking 25th in the NBA this season beyond the arc at 34.5 percent. Against the Clippers, they opened by hitting their four. So did Conley, who hit three straight, the last with 7:19 left in the third, putting the Grizzlies up 69-48. Memphis fans couldnt have been more ready for this chance to start the postseason at home with a sellout crowd on hand. With a good luck charm in a St. Jude patient singing the national anthem, fans had their free T-shirts on and waving the free towels before tipoff. The Grizzlies were ready too. They opened the game hitting their first five shots and seven of the first 10 in jumping out 15-6, forcing Del Negro to take a timeout. They quickly led by as much as 20 and had a 34-16 lead by the end of the first quarter, tying the most points scored this season in that period. This is the Clippers first trip to the postseason since 2006. Paul has plenty of playoff experience with 23 games while in New Orleans but this was the postseason debut for three starters Griffin, Randy Foye and DeAndre Jordan along with four of their teammates. Paul looked a little rusty in the first half with only one point and three assists, all in the first quarter. He sat out the Clippers final game of the season with a strained groin and Los Angeles lost that game to the Knicks along with the chance to start this series at home. Paul picked up his third foul with 6.5 seconds left in the first half. The Clippers made a run in the second quarter and got within 50-39. But after Gay missed a pull-up jumper, the Clippers had a shot-clock violation. The Grizzlies scored the final eight points, the last on a dunk by Gasol just before the buzzer for a 58-39 halftime lead.

SECTIONAL DRAWS

LAKERS 103, NUGGETS 88 LOS ANGELES Kobe Bryant scored 31 points, Andrew Bynum posted the Lakers first playoff triple-double in 21 years with an NBA postseason record-tying 10 blocked shots and Los Angeles thoroughly controlled the tempo in a playoff-opening victory over Denver. Bynum, the Lakers All-Star center coming off his best regular season, also had 10 points and 13 rebounds while incredibly blocking 11 percent of the Nuggets 90 shots. Bynum had the Lakers first playoff triple-double since Magic Johnson in the 1991 NBA finals. Fellow 7-footer Pau Gasol added 13 points, eight rebounds and eight assists as the playoff-tested Lakers never trailed. Danilo Gallinari scored 19 points for the sixth-seeded Nuggets but the NBAs second-youngest playoff roster struggled to run. Game 2 is Tuesday night. HAWKS 83, CELTICS 74 ATLANTA Josh Smith scored 22 points and grabbed 18 rebounds, leading Atlanta over Boston in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference playoffs, the final minute turning ugly when Celtics star Rajon Rondo was ejected for bumping an official. The Hawks, who led by as many as 19 in the first half, were clinging to a 4-point lead when Rondo lost his cool with 41 seconds remaining and may have cost himself a chance to play Game 2 Tuesday night. Brandon Bass was called for a foul on Smith tussling for a loose ball. Rondo screamed at official Marc Davis, who quickly called a technical. Rondo then bumped Davis with his chest and was tossed out. A suspension could also be coming. Rondo scored 20 points and dished out 11 assists but none of it mattered when he lost his cool. Kevin Garnett bounced back from a miserable start to put up 20 points and 11 rebounds. Smith carried the Hawks on a night when Joe Johnson managed just 11 points on 3-of-15 shooting. SPURS 106, JAZZ 91 SAN ANTONIO = Tony Parker scored 28 points and San Antonio beat Utah to win its playoff opener for the first time in four years. Tim Duncan added 17 points and 11 rebounds, helping the Spurs dodge another early playoff letdown. Despite boasting the No. 1 seed again, San Antonio hadnt won a Game 1 in its last six postseason series including the one that began a shocking first-round ouster last year. Paul Millsap led Utah with 20 points. The Jazz hung close until the third, when the NBAs top 3-point shooting team began burying Utah with three in a 2-minute burst to finish the quarter. Game 2 is Wednesday in San Antonio.

Reufer rules Modifieds, Valenti grabs 2 feature wins

The Delphos Herald LIMA On a clear yet cool evening at Limaland Motorsports Park, racers in the Thunderstocks and Modified divisions were set to compete in rare double features. It provided the equally rare chance of winning two features in a single evening. Shawn Valenti completed that unique double in the Budweiser Thunderstocks, while defending track K&N UMP Modified champion Todd Sherman and newcomer Jake Reufer (reefer) both achieved half of the difficult feat and nearly the other half. The modifieds began the night of racing with their 20-lap event and Reufer leading the field to the green flag. The blue #16 powered its way around and wasnt being seriously challenged. The yellow flag came out on lap number eight with Reufer still in front of Jerry Bowersock, Terry Hull and Todd Sherman. Hull and Sherman were engaged in the best of the on-track battles as they both looked to at least control the third running position. Reufer appeared he might make it flag-to-flag in his first ever Limaland Motorsports Park appearance until he became collected with both Jerry Bowersock and Terry Hull between turns three and four on lap 18. A stunned crowd watched as Todd Sherman took over the race lead with two laps remaining. The 2011 champion easily held off Ryan Ordway and Tony Anderson to capture the seasons first modified feature. I got a little congested on the start, got into somebody and fell way back there, said Sherman about the early race. My car was good, but after I gradually got up to those first three guys I thought Im in trouble now because they are all really fast. Its good to see Jake running here and Jerry and Terry are always fast running. On the late race trouble for the leaders, Sherman said, the track was heavy and at the end I put my hand up in front of my face and finish. Valenti made an outside pass of Anderson as the white flag was unfurled and then roared to the checkers. To pull off two in one night is unbelievable, stated Valenti in the winners circle. The Elwer Fence Sprints feature had 2011 NRA champion Randy Hannagan start on the pole of the field with hard-charging Butch Schroeder, Jared Horstman and Kyle Sauder all holding positions in the first five of the starting grid. Hannagan suffered a mechanical break on the third lap and surrendered the lead. By the sixth lap, the front of the field had settled with Schroeder, Horstman, Dallas Hewitt and 2011 track champion Kyle Sauder all racing high and fast on the track. Schroeder held off the field until the orange #17 of Jared Horstman made a pass on lap 14. For the next four circuits Horstman made it look like he might be on the way to his first feature win in a sprint car at Limaland Motorsports Park. With two laps remaining, Kyle Sauder executed a clean pass outside of Horstman to win a thrilling and hotly contested affair with Dallas Hewitt finishing third. Jared gave me a heck of a race, said Sauder. I understand he stepped up his program this year and it showed tonight. My car wasnt quite right at the beginning and the other guys had my line. I just waited and finally got up there. It was Sauders 12th career win at Limaland Motorsports Park. Action resumes on Friday with Late Model Mania as LMP hosts the Sunoco American Late Model Series, K & N UMP Modifieds and the Budweiser Thunderstocks. Gates open at 5 p.m. with hot laps beginning at 6:30 p.m. Racing starts promptly at 7:30 p.m. All the latest news and information about Americas premier quarter-mile dirt track, can be found at www.limaland. com<http://www.limaland. com/>.

sailed it wide open and it worked. I knew giving up the bottom was going to be a risk but I got to the lead on the outside. There was some oil down there (between turns 3 & 4) so I eased off the gas a little so as to not dump into it and then just dragged raced into the checker. It marked Shermans 27th career feature win at the track. The nights regularly-scheduled modified feature was dominated by Jake Reufer as he bolted to the lead from an outside front row starting position. Reufers only serious threat came from UNOH Racer athletic motorsports driver Kody Weisner. The lead two cars largely stayed by themselves at the front of the field with Todd Sherman and Terry Hull in a spirited matchup for the third position. A pair of caution flags didnt slow down Reufers charge to a checkered flag finish in his first-ever appearance at Limaland Motorsports Park. My car was great tonight, exclaimed the Roanoke, Ind. Driver. I was lucky enough to start up front and took advantage of it. This is the nicest facility in the country and to get one here is a nice deal. The Budweiser Thunderstocks division saw 2011 season points runner-up Shawn Valenti resume his dominance of the late season

from a year ago. Valenti powered to a pair of feature wins. He posted three wins during the entire 2011 campaign. Despite a fifth row starting position in the opening stocks feature, Valenti moved quickly behind primary race leader Jeff Koz through the opening circuit of the 15-lap battle. Koz held off Valenti until he made contact with a slower car. The damage to Kozs car forced him to the infield. Valenti took over the lead on lap 12 and that was all it took to set up the first of an eventual two conquests in the same evening. Starting the year off like this, I cant ask for more, Valenti told the front straight crowd. I didnt have a very good starting spot but was still able to capitalize. It means a lot to get this first one early and hopefully we can keep this going. The second Budweiser Thunderstocks feature saw 2011 champion Tony Anderson and Valenti swap the lead on three occasions during a caution filled finale. Valenti stuck to the top of the race track with Anderson working to the inside for most of the race. Although the race lacked good rhythm with a series of yellow flags, Anderson led Valenti at the restart on Lap number 11 and the two produced an exciting

No sign of distress before sailboat wreck found

By ELLIOT SPAGAT Associated Press ENSENADA, Mexico Eric Lamb was doing safety patrol on a 124-mile yacht race when he spotted a boat that appeared too close to Mexicos Coronado Islands. He never got there. As his twin-engine boat neared the uninhabited islands just south of San Diego, he stumbled on sailboat shards that were mostly no more than six inches long strewn over about two square miles. He saw a small refrigerator, a white seat cushion and empty containers of yogurt and soy milk. Over several hours, a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter directed him in his search and led him to two dead bodies floating with their backs up, badly scraped and bruised. The Coast Guard recovered a third body and the fourth member of the crew was missing today in Californias second deadly accident this month involving an ocean race. Lamb, 62, said the 37-foot racing yacht looked like it had gone through a blender. It was real obvious it had been hit just because the debris was so small, he said Sunday. The Coast Guard, Mexican navy and civilian vessels scoured the waters off the shore of both countries for the fourth sailor before suspending their search Sunday evening. Hundreds of race participants held a moment of silence at the Newport Ocean Sailing Associations award ceremony, many of them stunned and puzzled. Skies were clear and winds were light when the boat went missing on the course from Newport Beach, Calif., to Ensenada. The race goes through shipping lanes and its possible for a large ship to hit a

We need to take a step back and take a deep breath with what were doing. Something is going wrong here.

Gary Jobson, president of the U.S. Sailing Association sailboat and not even know it, especially at night, said Rich Roberts, a spokesman for the race organizer. Two race participants who were in the area at the time the Aegean vanished told The Associated Press they saw or heard a freighter. A GPS race tracking system indicated the Aegean disappeared about 1:30 a.m. PDT (4:30 a.m. EDT) Saturday, Roberts said. Race organizers werent closely monitoring the race at that hour but a disappearing signal is no cause for alarm because receivers occasionally suffer glitches, he said. Somebody may have thought the thing was broken, Roberts said. Lamb, who has been patrolling the race for eight years as captain for a private company, saw the debris nine hours later, called the Coast Guard, and searched for identifying information. He and a partner found a life raft with a registration number and a panel with the ships name. The Coast Guard said conditions were fine for sailing, with good visibility and moderate ocean swells of 6-to-8 feet. Officials have not determined the cause of the accident, and would not speculate on what ship, if any, might have collided with the sailboat.

Hundreds flock to meet 50 Shades of Grey author

By CHRISTINE ARMARIO Associated Press MIAMI Young school teachers, middle-aged nurses and even the elderly flocked to a Miami book store Sunday for a chance to meet the author of the bestselling erotic romance Fifty Shades of Grey in the launch of her U.S. book tour. British newcomer E L James drew more than 500 men and women at a morning book signing and spoke that evening to a boisterous, uninhibited crowd at the historic Biltmore Hotel. It was her second-ever book signing, yet the size of the crowd snaking through the store with mimosas and books in hand drew comparisons to the past response for writers such as Anne Rice and even politicians. This is a literary phenomenon, said Mitchell Kaplan, owner of Books & Books, the independent bookstore where James was signing copies. E L struck a nerve, and her storytelling speaks to so many people. In a few short months, James has snagged a sevenfigure contract with Vintage Books, and Universal Pictures and Focus Films have purchased the rights to all three books in the trilogy about an unworldly college student who begins an unusual romantic relationship with a wealthy young businessman. The books have been called mommy porn for their sexual content and large, mostly female following, though men are signing up for autographs as well. I read it through lunch breaks and Im giggling, said Laura Vargas, 31, an executive assistant at a large insurance company. Im like, I cant believe she just wrote that. James began writing the books as fan fiction to Stephenie Meyers Twilight series and quickly developed a cult-like following of her own. The romance between main characters Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey is surprising because of its unconventional nature: Grey asks Steele to sign a contract, and she agrees to be his submissive and to partake in a range of erotic activities. The stories were first published online, and as word of mouth spread, droves of people many of them not traditional readers of romantic or erotic fiction began downloading them on iPads and Kindles. Im staggered by this, James said in an interview with The Associated Press. I never set out to do this. Until recently, the affable, laid-back author had been mostly preoccupied with her work as a television executive, taking care of her two teenage sons and doing mundane house chores. She was raised in London, studied history in college and dabbled once in a while with writing, but never spent a large amount of time on it until reading the Twilight books. I tried a couple of times, but never thought I could, James said of writing novels. Even now, shes not sure shell be able to write another. Its really quite daunting, she said. A broad swath of mostly women, of all ages and backgrounds, showed up Sunday at the bookstore in Miamis upscale Coral Gables neighborhood. A young server went around with a tray of bright-colored drinks, and

Race officials said they had few explanations for what may have happened to the Aegean other than it must have collided with a ship like a freighter or tanker that did not see the smaller vessel. The episode immediately sparked a debate over safety of ocean races. Quite honestly, Im amazed it hasnt happened before, said Lamb. You get 200 boats out there, they lose their way, and theyre just bobbing around. Gary Jobson, president of the U.S. Sailing Association, said his group will appoint an independent panel to investigate. Im horrified. Ive done a lot of sailboat racing and Ive hit logs in the water, and Ive seen a man go overboard, but this takes the whole thing to a new level, Jobson said. We need to take a step back and take a deep breath with what were doing. Something is going wrong here. Chuck Iverson, commodore of the sailing association, said the collision was a fluke, noting how common night races are along Mexicos Baja California coast. The deaths are the first fatalities in the races 65 years. The race attracted 675 boats at its peak in 1983 before falling on hard times several years ago amid fears of Mexicos drug-fueled violence. Participation has picked up recently, reaching 213 boats this year. The winner, Robert Lane of Long Beach Yacht Club, finished Saturday in 23 hours, 26 minutes, 40 seconds. The race attracts sailors of all skills, including some who are new to long distances. The Aegean competed in one of the lower categories, which allows participants to use their motors when winds drop to a certain level.

fans exchanged giddy stories about their experiences reading the books. Emilia Diaz, a 57-yearold aesthetician, said it was a man who introduced her to the books. They had been talking online and over the phone for months and finally agreed to meet in person. On their first date, he suggested she read the books. Maybe he wants you to be his submissive, joked her cousin, Sandra SousaDruckman, an interior designer. Diaz came in a group of four women, the eldest being Sousa-Druckmans 87-yearold mother, Cathy Perkins. Perkins, who was married for 60 years, said she usually reads Danielle Steele but wants to take up Fifty Shades of Grey and its two follow-up novels next. She had a copy of the second book, Fifty Shades Darker, for James to autograph.

Avengers hurtles to $178.4M overseas debut

Disneys The Avengers, which debuts Friday in the United States after launching in 39 other countries a week earlier. The huge overseas launch will help fan the frenzy already in place for The Avengers, the superhero mash-up of Marvel Comics idols whose cast includes Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Jeremy Renner and Samuel L. Jackson. You hope that the magnitude of this kind of opening sends a signal that this is a for-everyone film, said Dave Hollis, head of distribution for Disney. You cant put up these kinds of numbers if its just for guys or just for the fans. These numbers say that it is for everyone, 8 to 80. The Sony Screen Gems ensemble comedy Think Like a Man was No. 1 domestically for the secondstraight weekend with $18 million. Four movies were bunched up for the No. 2 spot in the $11 million range: Sonys animated comedy The Pirates! Band of Misfits with $11.4 million; the Warner Bros. romantic drama The Lucky One with $11.3 million; Lionsgates blockbuster The Hunger Games with $11.25 million; and Universals romantic comedy The FiveYear Engagement with $11.2 million. Those four flicks were so close that their rankings from Sunday studio estimates could change once final numbers are released Monday. Along with Pirates, whose voice cast was led by Hugh Grant, and Five-Year Engagement, which stars Jason Segel and Emily Blunt, the other newcomers were Jason Stathams action tale Safe from Lionsgate at No. 6 with $7.7 million and John Cusacks Edgar Allan Poe mystery The Raven from Relativity Media at No. 7 with $7.3 million. I think going to the movies will be the No. 1 priority next weekend but clearly was not the No. 1 priority this weekend, said Paul Dergarabedian, analyst for box-office tracker Hollywood.com. Theres so much anticipation for The Avengers that the newcomers kind of got lost in the shuffle. The Hunger Games climbed to $372.5 million domestically, putting it less than $10 million behind last years Harry Potter finale, the top-grossing entry of that fantasy franchise. Think Like a Man raised its domestic total to $60.9 million, while The Lucky One lifted its haul to $39.9 million.

Catholic convents turn to SUV at Bronx Zoo kills seven Internet for recruitment
By VERENA DOBNIK Associated Press By CLARKE CANFIELD Associated Press BIDDEFORD, Maine When Sister Elaine Lachance devoted herself to a religious life straight out of high school in 1959, her religious order had more than a dozen convents in the U.S. with nearly 260 sisters. Today, the Good Shepherd Sisters of Quebec, based in Canada, has just five convents in Maine and Massachusetts with 56 sisters. The youngest is 64 years old, and its been more than 20 years since a new member joined. Rather than leave the future of the convents to prayer and chance, Lachance has turned to the Internet. Shes using social media and blogging to attract women who feel the calling to serve God and their community. She says she had her awkward moments when she began using Facebook and writing blog posts. But I knew I had to go there, that I had to do it, said Lachance, who turned 70 on Sunday. You have to go where the young people are. And thats where they are. The number of nuns and sisters has plunged through the decades as more career opportunities for women opened, parochial schools closed and sisterhood became less visible. Generally, a nun lives a cloistered, contemplative life in a monastery, while sisters live and work within their communities. In the U.S., the count has fallen from about 180,000 in 1965 to 55,000 last year, a drop of nearly 70 percent, according to the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate. In 2009, their median age was 73, with 91 percent of them 60 and older. At one time, women would join the sisterhood through word of mouth or their personal interactions with sisters, said Lachance, vocation director for the Good Shepherd Sisters. But now, many younger women arent even aware its a choice. For years, Lachance has visited Catholic schools, placed ads in religious publications and attended job fairs to recruit sisters. Shes still doing those things, but she has also turned to Facebook, her blog and YouTube. The order also updated its website and hired a public relations company. Its hard to sell somebody on committing to a religious life, with its vows of poverty, chastity and obedience, in todays world of slick technology, fast cash and material goods, Sister Dorina Chasse said on a recent day at St. Joseph Convent, a home along the Saco River in Biddeford where elderly and sick sisters are taken care of. Its hard for them to leave that, Chasse said. Still, theres been an uptick among women showing an interest in pursuing a religious life, said Patrice Tuohy of the National Religious Vocation Council, a Chicago-based group representing vocation directors for religious organizations. The NRVC launched a website called VocationMatch.com seven years ago that links young people interested in leading religious lives to religious commusome states are offering grants and other financial incentives to help pay for the added protection and peace of mind. Tom Cook didnt need convincing. When a 2008 tornado barreled toward his home in rural southwest Missouri, Cook, his wife and their teenage daughter sought refuge in a bathroom. It wasnt enough. His wife was killed. Cook moved to nearby Joplin to rebuild, never imaging he would confront another monster twister. But he had a safe room installed in the garage just in case. On May 22, Cook and his daughter huddled inside the small steel enclosure while an EF-5 tornado roared outside. They emerged unharmed, although the new house was gone. It was blown away comnities. The site gets about 6,000 inquiries a year. The Internet is useful for such questions because it offers instant information and is anonymous, Tuohy said. For a 20-year-old to think about joining a religious community is an unusual decision, not to mention countercultural, she said. Someone whos thinking about taking a vow of poverty and chastity goes counter to a culture that promotes sex and money and power. The Internet has made a huge difference in how religious communities are recruiting, Tuohy said. Besides websites and Facebook pages, some are using podcasts, YouTube videos and chat rooms. According to a 2009 study commissioned by NRVC, 87 percent of religious institutes had used the Internet for vocation promotion in the past five years. Many of the religious communities are very savvy, Tuohy said. I think people find this surprising, but in fact because theyre working with young people, theyre trying to stay in tune with young people thats who their market is, young men and women. Audra Turnbull, 23, turned to the Internet when she felt the calling in college. Inside the chapel at Quincy University in Quincy, Ill., she pulled out her laptop, Googled nuns and found a website called A Nuns Life. In time, she checked out dozens of other websites, YouTube videos and social media before getting touch with a motherhouse in Monroe, Mich., where she plans to join the ministry. NEW YORK An out-ofcontrol SUV barreled across several lanes of traffic on a highway overpass Sunday, then plunged more than 50 feet off the side of the road and landed in a ravine on the grounds of the Bronx Zoo, killing all seven people aboard, including three children, authorities said. The SUV apparently flipped over a 4-foot-high iron fence before landing upside-down on the property of the nations largest city zoo. The cause of the crash was unclear, and police havent yet said how fast the SUV was traveling. A city official said the guardrails height would be one of the safety issues investigated. The victims were three girls, ages 3, 7 and 10, an 85-yearold man and three women, ages 81, 45 and 39, police said. The 45-year-old woman was driving. The victims names werent immediately released. The Honda Pilot was headed south on the highway that cuts through a working-class neighborhood when it bounced off the median, crossed all southbound lanes and hit the guardrail, police said. Obviously, the vehicle was traveling at a high rate of speed, FDNY deputy Chief Ronald Werner said. It hit something that caused it to become airborne. The SUV landed in a wooded area on the edge of zoo property thats closed to the public and far from any animal exhibits, zoo spokeswoman Mary Dixon said. The vehicle lay mangled hours later, its right doors ripped off and strewn amid the trees along with items from the car. Next to the heavily wooded area are subway tracks and a train yard. Its not clear what caused the SUV to go out of control. The southbound side of the highway was closed briefly Sunday afternoon while police investigated but later reopened. The medical examiners office said it expected to release the victims causes of death today. The accident was the second in the past year where a car fell off the same stretch of the Bronx River Parkway. Last June, the driver of an SUV heading north lost control and the SUV hit a divider, bounced through two lanes of traffic and fell 20 feet over a guardrail, landing on a pickup truck in a parking lot. The two people in the SUV were injured. City agencies will be asked to look at safety issues on the

highway including guardrail height, Bronx borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. said in a statement Sunday. My prayers, as well as those of my office and all Bronxites, go out to the families of the seven victims, he said. The wreck was the deadliest in New York City since the driver of a tour bus returning from a Connecticut casino in March 2011 lost control and slammed into a pole that sheared the bus nearly end to end, killing 14 passengers. In 2009, just north of New York City in suburban Westchester County, a woman carrying a vanload of children drove nearly two miles in the wrong direction on a highway before colliding with an SUV. Eight people were killed, including four children. An autopsy determined that the woman, Diane Schuler, had downed at least 10 drinks and had smoked marijuana as recently as 15 minutes before the wreck.

More families building their own tornado shelters

By PHILLIP RAWLS, HOLBROOK MOHR and JIM SALTER Associated Press MONTGOMERY, Ala. When deadly twisters chewed through the South and Midwest in 2011, thousands of people in the killers paths had nowhere to hide. Now many of those families are taking an unusual extra step to be ready next time: adding tornado shelters to their homes. A year after the storms, sales of small residential shelters known as safe rooms are surging across much of the nation, especially in hard-hit communities such as Montgomery and Tuscaloosa in Alabama and in Joplin, Mo., where twisters laid waste to entire neighborhoods. Manufacturers can barely keep up with demand, and pletely again, he said. The only thing standing was that storm room. Generations ago, homes across Americas Tornado Alley often came equipped with storm cellars, usually a small concrete bunker buried in the backyard. Although some of those remain, they are largely relics of a bygone era. And basements are less common than they used to be, leaving many people with no refuge except maybe a bathtub or a room deep inside the house. The renewed interest in shelters was stirred by last years staggering death toll 358 killed in the South and 161 dead in Joplin. So far this year, more

than 60 people have perished in U.S. twisters. Safe rooms feature thick steel walls and doors that can withstand winds up to 250 mph. They are typically windowless, with no light fixtures and no electricity just a small, reinforced place to ride out the storm. Costs generally range from $3,500 to $6,000. Sizes vary, but most hold only a few people. They can be bolted to the floor of a garage or custom-fitted to squeeze into a small space, even a closet. Some are so small occupants have to crawl inside. A few are buried in the yard like the old storm shelters of the late 1800s and early 1900s.

Edwards fate hinges on ex-right-hand man and wife

By JEFFREY COLLINS and MICHAEL BIESECKER Associated Press GREENSBORO, N.C. Andrew Young first saw John Edwards speak at an oceanfront hotel in 1998. He was captivated by the U.S. Senate candidates speech and told his future wife Edwards was going to be president someday and he was going to work for him. She rolled her eyes. Young wound up becoming one of Edwards closest aides, so intoxicated by the power and money he claimed to be the father of Edwards child to take the heat off of his boss. Young recalled telling his wife, Cheri, about the plan he said Edwards concocted. Are you out of your mind? Why would you even tell me about this? Why didnt you just say no? Young, now 46, wrote of his wifes reaction. Despite the outrageous lies and years of cover-ups, Cheri and Andrew Young have stayed together. They are now reliving their volatile relationship with the Edwards family as the star witnesses in the former presidential candidates campaign corruption trial. Anything that the Edwardses needed to be handled, he did it, Cheri, 38, said as she began her testimony Friday. That included everything from picking up the Democrat at the airport, to doing yard work or buying Christmas presents for the Edwards children. She said her husbands long work hours and dedication to his boss led to tension in their marriage, because he was never able to do those things for my family. Prosecutors accuse Edwards of using campaign money from wealthy donors to hide his pregnant mistress, Rielle Hunter. Young testified for five days last week. He said Edwards knew the money was being spent to hide Hunter, but also acknowledged that he used much of the funds to build his North Carolina dream house. Edwards attorneys have assailed Andrew Youngs credibility, disputing claims he made in a tell-all book and painting him as a pathological liar. Questions also arose in the courtroom this week about what the judge termed a one-night stand Young is accused of having with a married campaign staffer. Youngs wife of 12 years has stuck by her husband, even agreeing to live with Hunter for months as they were hiding from the public eye. Young dedicated his book, The Politician, to his wife. He praised her understanding as he worked long hours to get into Edwards inner circle, and her discretion as he shared Edwards secrets. Andrew Young graduated from Wake Forest University law school. His wife was a nurse. They met while he was fetching drinks for a friend at a bar called Senor Frogs in Cancun, Mexico. Years later, their relationship faced a test, when Young told her Edwards had asked to let Hunter live with them because tabloid reporters were trying to link the politician and his mistress. Edwards lawyers contend it was the other way around, with Young volunteering to take the fall. Cheri had seen so much crazy stuff where the Edwardses were concerned that she wasnt exactly surprised, Young recounted in his book. Instead, she was angry and disgusted. But she trusted me enough to just shake her head in a weary way and say OK. Things would get crazier in December 2007, when Young said Edwards called him as he ran errands with his wife and asked his aide to claim he was the father

of Hunters baby to head off the tabloid speculation. In his book, Young said he told his wife what Edwards wanted as they bought a Happy Meal at McDonalds for one of their three children. The children were with them much of the time they were avoiding the tabloids. Young also mentioned in the book that he saw a copy of Newsweek with Edwards face on the cover as they spoke, but Edwards attorney noted this week that the issue actually didnt hit newsstands for at least another week. It was one of several details in the book Edwards attorneys have challenged. While they were on the run, the Youngs were trying to build a 5,400-squarefoot house. Edwards campaign finance chairman, Fred Baron, promised a 130 percent raise, and up to $1.2 million was going to flow through the couples accounts to pay for Hunter and Youngs family. On the stand Friday, Young admitted he kept about $1 million and that much of it went to expand their home and add luxury amenities, such as a $100,000 swimming pool and another $100,000 in home theater equipment. By early 2008, Edwards Democratic presidential campaign ran out of steam, and by the summer, the Youngs were ready to head home and the wealthy benefactors appeared tired of opening their checkbooks. When they got back to North Carolina, the Youngs said they found a videotape marked special in a box of Hunters things in a home they rented for her. The tape had been pulled from the case and cut. Andrew Young put it back together. He said in his book he and his wife were stunned when they realized they were watching a sex tape made by Edwards and Hunter. When we were able to talk, we debated turning it off, but neither of us could actually press the button. It was like watching a traffic pileup occur in slow motion it was repelling, but also transfixing, Young wrote. Youngs book begins at a youth baseball field in Chapel Hill in 2009, a year after Edwards and his longtime confidante last met on a deserted road. At that meeting, Edwards told Young the poverty foundation he promised was not going to come through. Young told Edwards he had the sex tape, text messages, voice mails and notes and was going to go public. On the baseball field, Edwards and Youngs sons were on opposite teams. Young said Edwards never looked his way and left early. This week in a federal courtroom, as Young became the prosecutions star witness in their effort to put his one-time idol in prison, Edwards stared at the man he once called part of his family. Young never once met his gaze.

EXPERIENCE AND INTEGRITY...

LOCAL LAW SERVICES GUIDE

What you need to know before choosing a lawyer

By Helga Hayse It can feel intimidating to talk to a lawyer. Ive learned the hard way that if your lawyer cant explain things to you as if you are a smart 14-year-old, you should find a lawyer who can. A lawyer is supposed to make your life easier, not more stressful. Your first step in finding a lawyer is to ask your family, friends or acquaintances. Ask why they like him or her and what the lawyer did for them. If youre consulting a lawyer about a divorce or estate planning, its important that he/she has experience in these areas of expertise. Credentials count, but this is about more than education and experience The law is complicated enough; you need someone who can explain things to you in addition to being qualified to advise you. In the event of divorce, or the death of a husband, you will be working closely with the lawyer. You want things explained clearly to you because youll be emotionally upset. A lawyers jargon and lack of ability to communicate clearly will upset you even more. Before you choose someone, phone the office to ask if the lawyer will give you an introductory meeting at no cost. This allows you both to get a sense of whether you can work well together. For example, I couldnt work with someone who is patronizing. I need someone to give me information, explain all the options, show me the pitfalls, and outline the costs. Many lawyers think that reassuring and protecting a woman is doing her a favor. I call that the Dont worry about a thing, dear attitude that keeps women from being able to make decisions. On the other hand, many women just want their lawyer to take care of everything. Im not one of them. Before your first meeting Write out a list of your own questions. You can also include the following process questions to get started: 1. What does the lawyer need

Living wills everyone should have one

By Maria Sandella An advanced care directive, commonly known as a living will is something everyone should have. A living will is a legal document that states specific directives regarding medical treatments that must be followed by caregivers or the person appointed power of attorney for health care decisions if you are unable to give informed consent. A living will ensures that your wishes are carried out. What does a living will cover? There are some people that think a living will is used only to direct health care providers to withhold necessary medical treatment. While many do use a living will for this type of instruction, a living will is also a way for a person to ask for all available medical techniques and treatments should they want them. Living wills are complicated because they deal with medical issues so it is always a good idea to consult with your doctor so he can clarify any treatments or techniques you are unsure of. One thing to keep in mind is that a living wills legality does not take effect until the patient has been medically determined to be terminally ill or is in a permanent vegetative state, unable to communicate medical wishes. The difference between a living will and durable power of attorney Some functions of a living will can be performed by a durable power of attorney. The document gives the attorney legal power to make any health care decision for a person who is unable to make those decisions for themselves, in some cases it also allows the durable power of attorney to use his/her own judgment. Unlike a living will, a durable power of attorney does not depend on a vegetative state or terminal illness in order to be used. A good example of someone who would be incapable of making their own sound medical decisions is someone with Alzheimers. If you choose not to have a living will or appoint a durable power of attorney your family members may end up fighting and arguing over what treatment you should or should not be receiving. Even though a doctor will consult with your family they still may be split in the decision making. Since doctors only consult with family members, if you are unmarried the living will and durable power of attorney will enable them to have a say in your health care decisions. An attorney-in-fact An Attorney-in-Fact is the person you assign power of attorney. Whomever you chose as the proxy for health care decisions or attorneyin-fact needs to be someone you trust and is comfortable talking about medical issues. An assertive and diplomatic individual is the preferred choice because you are choosing someone to be your advocacy. They may need to argue with the doctors and even your family members, and in some cases, go to court and fight on your behalf. You need someone who is aware of the choices your have made and will support any and all instructions you have laid out.

from you in order to evaluate your situation? 2. What are your options? 3. How many similar matters has he or she handled? 4. What percent of the practice is in the area of expertise you need? 5. What is the process for handling your situation? 6. How does the lawyer charge for services (by the project, hour, retainer?)? 7. What is an estimate for the time required? 8. Will the lawyer handle the case personally or would a paralegal or clerk be handling it? 9. If others will be involved in the work, can you meet with them also? Remember, every question is a legitimate one. There are no silly questions. You just need to have the question answered. Before your second meeting Now that youve met and had the process questions answered, save time and money by organizing information your lawyer said would be needed. Go in again with a written set of questions. Take a tape recorder with you. Why? Because its hard to remember all the things your lawyer says. Its like going to the doctor. You dont go when things are fine. You go when there is a problem, when your emotions are high or youre not feeling well. A tape recorder means you dont have to rely on your memory at a time when your memory may let you down. Try to remember that a lawyer is only a person like you with extra training in legal education and procedure. What you are paying for is his/her information, skill and time. You are the client and your lawyer is providing a service you are buying.

When technology gets involved Golf: the game that fits like a glove
Technology seems to be encroaching on every sphere of society. After all, who doesnt have a smart phone or a tablet computer these days? The huge entertainment market is acquiring its fair share of apps, and even golf cannot escape this trend. Whether you own a Blackberry, iPhone or some kind of Android telephone, youll be able to download a number of golf GPS software apps from search engines such as AppWorld, AppStore or Market. Among the most wellknown are GolfShot GPS, AirVeiwGold and GolfCard. These apps can transform your telephone or tablet into a GPS equipped with specialized functions that are really useful during a golf game. Through notifications and localization services, they will allow you to download a course, calculate distances, and be aware of any obstacles on the course, such as sand traps and water hazards. Once everything is set up and you hit the ball, the software will download your new position with the most up-todate statistics. This information has to be entered manually on some apps. This type of software has many other advantages for the avid golfer, including the calculation of statistics. So, as well as counting your score each round, it will also calculate your handicap, your percentage of strokes in the fairway and on the green, as well as the average distance per club. One drawback to the use of these apps is that they can quickly drain your battery because of the graphics and the constant use of the GPS. In addition, some golf courses are not listed, and those that are can take a long time to download. The price of these applications is very reasonable, varying from $10 to $30 on average, while others are free of charge. Have you ever asked yourself what a golf glove is really for? And why a golfer only wears one? The first thing to realize is that a glove allows a golfer to have a better grip on the club no matter what the weather is like. A glove is particularly useful when its raining or the weather is very humid. A glove is also used to exert less pressure on the grip of the club. This is due to the effect of having an extra layer between the hands and the club, which translates into a loosening of the muscles at the moment when the club makes contact with the ball. When taking lessons your pro will tell you repeatedly not to apply too much pressure on your clubs. Wearing a glove will not only help you to avoid holding a club too tightly but it will also help you master a good grip. A right-handed player wears the glove

Everything depends on the putting

After a round of golf, how many times have you heard people say that if theys done four or five good putts, their score card would have looked a lot better? Maybe golfers should spend more time on the practice green before a round of gold in order to correct this situation. It cant be emphasized enough the game around the green and the putting make a huge difference to a score. The key to success on the practice green is to concentrate on practicing with your putter, even though its probably more enjoyable to hit a basket of balls with a driver. Golfers should realize that their game on the green represents about a third of their final score, so its to their advantage to put a little more effort into this aspect of golf. After all, the driver is used a maximum of fourteen times on a course, half as many times as the putter. By mastering a good technique

and having the right attitude, your results are bound to improve. Putting requires a certain amount of basic technique, not matter what distance the ball has to cover. The lest, hops and wrists shouldnt move and the shoulders should be perpendicular to the ground. For right-handed golfers, the left eye should be focused on the top of the ball. Hit the ball with a swinging motion and keep the head still during and after the shot. By controlling this movement, it will be easier for you to concentrate on the strength and precision of the shot so that a one-metre putt becomes routine. It is especially important to play with confidence and assurance. Spending about fifteen minutes on the practice green before a game should a habit in order to find your rhythm and have a better idea of the speed of the courses greens.

Its ee ime
Designed to elevate the ball on the tee-off, the tee has evolved considerably over the years. This simple little wooden peg has made a lot of progress and still remains an important accessory for golfers. The time is long gone when players used a pile of sand to elevate the ball. The arrival of the wooden tee not only allowed golfers to improve their drives but also to avoid damaging the grass on the tee-offs. Tees have become much more sophisticated over the years. These days they are made mainly from variously colored wood or plastic. Some golfers prefer the traditional wooden tees for their effectiveness, while others will opt for

on the left hand, i.e., the one which is in complete contact with the club handle. Golf gloves are made of either leather or a synthetic material. Those made of synthetic material are generally very resistant and inexpensive. Those made of good quality leather are supple, durable, and thinner, giving a better feel. Glove manufacturers have also developed a material combining both leather and synthetic materials, which offer the best of both worlds. These gloves will need to be cared for if you want them to stay in good condition. So, the last thing you should do is to leave your glove at the bottom of your golf bag after your round of golf! Instead, leave it to dry flat at room temperature and be sure not to bring it into direct contact with a source of heat.

A tiny piece of equipment in constant evolution

those made in plastic because of their greater durability. Larger manufacturers of golf equipment are constantly searching for improvements and a wide variety of tees are now available on the market. One options is the wooden tee in two colors and varying lengths, while the range of the plastic tees is more elaborate. Apart from conventional tees, it is also possible to obtain zero friction tees, where the ball is placed on three small supports. There are also oversized brush tees that reduce the rotation of the ball and tees of adjustable heights. Biodegradable tees made of bamboo are also available in specialty stores.

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
TUESDAY, MAY 1, 2012 The year ahead looks like it will be far more active socially than usual. Numerous friendships will link together in a remarkable manner, which will produce a fun, intimate group of loyal allies. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -If you decide to get involved in a new endeavor with several other people, make sure you have a voice in the project, as well as a leadership role. Reconsider if you dont. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- There is nothing wrong with expressing your friendship or love for another with some kind of tangible token. But unless youre extremely close, dont make it anything expensive -- just thoughtful. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -As you charm everyone around you, including your adversaries, it will become evident that communication comes quite easily to you. Use this attribute liberally for best results. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- If you have something to sell, its an excellent time to go after the big account youve been eyeing but have been afraid to approach. If you assert yourself, your fears will diminish of their own accord. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your expansive mood is likely to trigger some of your nobler qualities. With little thought of gain, youre likely to do things that will mean a lot for others. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -When you show people you really care, they, in turn, will automatically be as concerned for your welfare as you are for theirs. Visible demonstrations are likely to come from several sources. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Make extra efforts to show people how much you really care about their welfare. It will help inspire a reluctant person to feel special and offer you valuable help. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- More opportunities than usual are likely to present themselves, making it possible for you to achieve two ambitious objectives that may or may not be connected. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You have the ability to merge two dissenting voices into one positive, unified force. Without your intervention, the concerned parties are likely to continue bickering between themselves. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Two quality changes are stirring that could help you better yourself career-wise and/or financially. They are apt to be triggered by a couple of unrelated circumstances. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Your judgment is much keener than usual, enabling you to correctly evaluate both sides of opposing issues. It will give you an edge over your competition. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- The possibility for gains in your material affairs are stronger than usual at this time, so dont waste the opportunity. In fact, there are likely to be two sources making some good things possible. WEDNESDAY, MAY 2, 2012 Although you might have a rather wide range of acquaintances, perhaps your most consistent and most important associations will be with those who share the same ambitious objectives as you. Important bonds will be forged during the coming months. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Something rather exciting could happen if you visit places where you have a chance to make new contacts. Expose yourself to these kinds of occurrences, and the universe will do the rest. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- If you continuously stay positive, an important situation in which youre presently involved will work out to your satisfaction, or perhaps even better than you thought possible. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Rather than discussing something important over the telephone or even putting it to paper, youll be much more effective going over the matter in person, if thats at all possible. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Financial trends are moving in your favor, so if you have anything important monetarily that needs to be shared with others, do so now. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -If at all possible, avoid people who always try to tell you what to do and how and when to do it. Your personal freedom and independences will be of utmost importance to you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Your day wont count for much if you fail to be compassionate when a situation calls for it. Its not what you do for yourself as much as what you do for others thatll afford you the greatest pleasure. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Base your social activities around friends with whom youre totally at ease. Pretentious people will put you in a negative mood and make yours and everybody elses day miserable. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- If you have responsibilities dumped on your shoulders that affect others as much as they do you, take them very seriously. Everyone will suffer if you are indifferent or negligent. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your intuition regarding the outcome of events is likely to be right on the money. If you have to make any projections for the day, keep this in mind and refrain from listening to others. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Joint ventures should work out quite satisfactorily, provided nobody tries to rush things beyond their normal pace. Press forward without being pushy. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Its best not to make any important decision that affects the entire family without first talking things over with them. Move on only after theyve all had their say. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Dont hesitate to take on something that is a bit beyond what you normally handle. Its a day when things come easier for you, and that includes handling something new.
