Students may have to wait nearly three months to get an attention de� -cit hyperactivity disorder diagnosis and prescription from Student Health and Counseling.

Counseling Director Harry Lin-neman said that the center has seen a spike in students wanting ADHD evaluations, but the center does not have the resources to see every stu-dent immediately. He said the media plays a role in increasing evaluation demands.

“Television documentaries and other publicity about adult ADHD is increasing the awareness of this as a possible issue,” Linneman said.

homework and tests. About four years ago, Villegas said, the Athletics Department decided student-athletes needed more support.

Built on south campus in 2008, the Student Success Center — which houses the Lobo Center for Student-Athlete Success — gives student-ath-letes access to tutors, a clinical psy-chologist and a learning specialist.

Villegas said athletes have access to tutors from 6 a.m.-9:30 p.m. Mon-day-Thursday. The center closes at 5 p.m. on Fridays, and tutors are avail-able Sundays from 6-9:30 p.m.

Villegas said the center has a psy-chologist available because in the past, a student-athlete committed suicide, and others left UNM be-cause of personal problems.

Non-athletes can study at the center, but they don’t have access to the psychologist, advisers or the learning specialist, Villegas said.

“(Athletes) come here with bag-gage, so she is here to help athletes deal with the variety of psychologi-cal issues that are affecting them,” he said.

Student-athletes can also rent laptops to use while traveling with their team, and mentors help them develop life skills, such as time man-agement and test-taking.

With more access to advisement, Villegas said, student-athletes’ GPAs increased.

“We have a number of teams,

such as men’s cross country, swim-ming and golf, that have perfect scores and are recognized every year by the NCAA,” Villegas said.

If student-athletes don’t main-tain a 3.0 GPA or higher, he said, they have to go to study hall hours each week.

Professor Marie Lobo, a member of the Faculty Senate Athletics Coun-cil, is writing a report for the NCAA to show the academic support UNM offers its student athletes. Lobo said the report serves as oversight to en-sure UNM meets NCAA academic requirements. She said the report includes interviews from campus departments and looks to identify whether student-athletes get special treatment.

“We interviewed people from the Provost’s Office, CAPS, Athletics and from admissions to look at ‘Do athletes get special treatment?’ and we added faculty to this. …We know that there are faculty on campus that no matter what an athlete does, they don’t support college athletics.”

Not only do student-athletes have advisement support, but Lobo said coaches emphasize academics to their players.

“You can see the turnaround in graduation rates,” she said. “UNM had the lowest graduation rate and the lowest GPA in all Division I basketball. That has totally turned around under coach (Steve) Alford.”

Gadhafi’s regime begins to fallby Ryan Lucas associated press

AJDABIYA, Libya — The defection of Libya’s foreign minister, a member of Moammar Gadhafi’s inner circle, is the latest sign that the embattled regime is cracking at the highest levels as the West keeps up pressure on the longtime leader to relinquish power.

In another blow to the regime, U.S. officials revealed Wednesday that the CIA has sent small teams of op-eratives into rebel-held eastern Libya while the White House debates whether to arm the opposition.

Despite the set-backs and ongoing NATO airstrikes on government forc-es, Gadhafi loyal-ists have been log-ging successes on the battlefield, re-taking much of the territory the rebels had captured since airstrikes began March 19.

Britain’s gov-ernment said Wednesday that Foreign Minister Moussa Koussa had arrived in Britain on a flight from Tunisia and was resigning from his post, though the Libyan government denied it. British Foreign Secretary William Hague said the resignation showed the regime is “fragmented, under pressure and crumbling.”

Koussa is not the first high-ranking member of the regime to quit — the jus-

tice and interior ministers resigned ear-ly in the conflict and joined the rebel-lion based in the east. Koussa, however, is a close confidant of Gadhafi’s, privy to all the inner workings of the regime. His departure could open the door for some hard intelligence, though Brit-ain refused to offer him immunity from prosecution.

Koussa was Libya’s chief of intelli-

gence for more than a decade. The op-position holds responsible for the as-sassinations of dissidents in western capitals and for orchestrating the 1988 Lockerbie bombing and the bombing of another jet over Niger a year later.

In later years, however, Koussa played an important role in persuading Western nations to lift sanctions on

Libya and remove its name from the list of state sponsors of terrorism. He led settlements of Lockerbie, offered all information about Libya’s nuclear program and gave London and Washington information about Islamic militants after the Sept. 11 attacks.

“His defection is a serious blow” to Gadhafi, Elliott Abrams, a former as-sistant secretary of state under Presi-

dent Ronald Reagan, said in a story posted on the Council on Foreign Re-lations’ website. “This is the first loss of such a close comrade,” he said, adding that he may have be able to identi-fy other potential defectors.

Abrams, who met Koussa in 2004 in negotia-tions over Lib-ya’s handover of weapons of mass destruc-tion programs, described him as a handsome, well-dressed man speaking perfect English. Koussa attended Michi-gan State Univer-sity in the 1970s.

Abrams said the simple fact that Koussa was able to make it to England “suggests that the regime is falling apart despite its battlefield victories in the last two days.” His departure suggest that Gadhafi’s inner circle “now know how this story ends, and do not wish to be with the dictator when that end comes,” he said.

Editor,

If you truly desire happiness, become aware of what is truly happening in each moment.

Immerse yourself in that and deal with it as best as you can and leave everything else to whatever is the Source of All That Is.

Our species has two choices: 1) Refuse to mature to our potential, continue to divide into warring camps and play the juvenile game of “win/lose,” which makes us all losers and ensures that our species cannot survive. Or 2) Understand that we are not interacting with each other and the planet in our best interest.

It will result in the planet no longer sustaining us, which means we can no longer survive. We must begin interacting with each other and the planet in a “win/win” way. That means we speak and act in ways that demonstrate that we have compassion for the planet and its inhabitants.

These are our two choices, and each is living by one of these two every day of our lives. Become mindful of the choice you are making on a moment-to-moment basis and determine if you are living your life in a way that is ensuring our demise or enhancing our survival chances.

The choice is yours, and you are making it. If the outcomes of the choices you are

making don’t feel good, make other choices.Until our species’ main agenda matures

beyond focusing on winners and losers to focusing on what makes us all winners, the likelihood we will survive much longer is questionable.

As if we did not already have enough to worry about, a news report said that gray squirrels are attacking people in Vermont, and it’s a concern that they’ll migrate to other states.

Robert GardinerCommunity member

Editor,

I’m writing the nearly identical letter to one I wrote several years ago when a previous University president, upon announcing a tuition increase, earnestly commented that ”UNM really is a bargain — cheaper than most of its comparable state universities.”

The problem with this statement, repeated over and over again by university administrators, is that New Mexico was, and still is, one of the poorest states in the union with high unemployment levels, even in good times.

Furthermore, most of our employed citizens earn less for comparable jobs than their peers in other states.

UNM is a bargain — for out-of-state students. For native New Mexicans, the percentage of their income required to pay tuition is the same, or sometimes higher, than that percentage students pay elsewhere. By comparing salary levels to tuition levels in any given state, a far different picture emerges than the one painted by the University president.

I guess it’s still true that if you repeat a lie often enough, people will come to believe it.

Sharon KarpinskiUNM Student

Editor,

The completion of the 2011 legislative ses-sion in Santa Fe is just the beginning of the new year for UNM.

With tuition increases looming and line items decreasing University-wide, the abil-ity to converse, negotiate and compromise diplomatically is a necessary attribute to our leadership in the upcoming year. As student leadership elections approach, graduate and professional students can find that leader in GPSA Presidential Candidate Joseph Dworak.

From working alongside GPSA as an un-dergraduate and within the executive branch, I have witnessed firsthand the deficiencies in GPSA’s structure.

The organization is top heavy while the council, a board composed of representatives from campus departments, has little ability to

participate in the GPSA’s organizational pro-cess. Much of the organization is cumber-some to navigate, and separation of legislative and executive branches is blurry.

Dworak sees this disorder and is commit-ted to strengthening and legitimizing GPSA. Dworak streamlined organizations in the past, such as creating an electronic application sys-tem that allowed for an organized, accessible and transparent funding process as chair of a committee that appropriated $800,000 in stu-dent fees.

This semester alone, Dworak put in hun-dreds of hours working with the Constitution-al Committee to rewrite and reorganize the GPSA constitution, a document approved by the council this weekend.

He wants to ensure that the presi-dent does not overstep his or her posi-tion and accords the appropriate pow-ers to GPSA’s legislative branch — a reflection of our nation’s democratic process. Past leadership experiences around the Uni-versity have allowed Dworak to form solid and respectful relationships with faculty, staff

and students by acting as a representative of their interests and dedicating his time to work towards their goals.

Dworak understands that, if elected, he must represent and collaborate with under-graduate and graduate students and gain re-spect from both groups.

He understands that strengthening the or-ganization of GPSA will help increase its legit-imacy, much of which has been decimated in past years.

As an active member of GPSA, I believe that Dworak is committed to increasing GP-SA’s legitimacy, accessibility and transparen-cy. He is familiar with the University and its operating system while also experiencing the process on a state and national level.

He is well-rounded, approachable and dedicated to improving GPSA and affording the students he will represent the best out-comes possible. Vote for Dworak online from Monday through Thursday.

Editor,

What kind of leader would you like to be? Our involvement in Libya may not seem re-

lated to the health of our planet, but it brings up interesting issues. President Obama said that we are in Libya because we have a responsibil-ity to be a world leader.

I say that we are hardly a world leader, except perhaps in military. Would you rather lead the world in battles won or smallest carbon foot-print, enemies engaged or research funded?

Here are a few categories that are ahead of the curve:

The good• Country with the most coastline: ninth• Overall potential for renewable energy:

second• Percentage of waste recycled: seventh

The bad• Most carbon emissions: second• Highest water polluters: second

It’s estimated that we spend millions each day fighting wars.

Meanwhile, our economy is bad, there aren’t enough jobs, and our carbon footprint gets big-ger every day. The president is right. We should be a world leader. But being a leader is about more than just having a stellar military.

Obama said our involvement in Libya is a re-sponse to a threat to our “interests and values,” but what about our other interests and values, ones that have a foothold here in this country, and also all over the world?

A fraction of the money we spend in one day fighting wars could open an aquarium, set up a renewable energy company, or build 10,000 hy-brid cars. Each provides more jobs, strengthens our economy and helps save Earth just a little bit.

The United States ranks ninth for the most coastline, but we hardly utilize this resource, at least for more than fishing and beachfront hotels.

Marine preserves are an excellent way to protect vital ecosystems, and they also bring in more sustainable profits than destroying the land for property development or overfishing.

Ecotourism creates jobs in industries, and provides essential protection to resources that are disappearing.

When you think about our “interests and values,” shouldn’t they include sustainabil-ity, conservation, economic growth and lower unemployment?

Being a world leader should mean leading the way in moving our world forward. It should include fighting for interests, but not the kind of fighting done with no-fly zones and anti-air-craft guns.

I want to be a leader that values the world’s long-term health, instead of one focused on the short-term reordering of a country. I want to lead the world into an age of sustainable coast-line practices, one that values economic suc-cess and protects natural resources. And I hope that you do, too.

WASHINGTON — The tea party-ers who helped drive GOP gains in the last election rallied in the city they love to hate Thursday, urging Republican House leaders — Speaker John Boeh-ner above all — to resist the drive to-ward compromise in the protracted fight over the federal budget. Even, they say, if that means Congress fails to do its most important job: pay for the government.

“Cut it or shut it!” several hundred tea partyers chanted from their gath-ering place outside in the rain.

But across Constitution Avenue and inside the Capitol’s thick walls, the lawmakers themselves huddled over the first glint of a deal with President Barack Obama to keep the govern-ment running for the next six months. And it was shaping up to cut $33 bil-lion, far less than the $100 billion that Republicans promised on the cam-paign trail and the tea partyers are demanding.

Boehner, a House veteran of two decades, tried to prepare the no-com-promise crowd earlier in the day. Like it or not, he made clear, a budget com-promise loomed on the horizon.

“We control one half of one third of the government here in Washington,” Boehner told reporters at his weekly briefing. “We can’t impose our will on the Senate. All we can do is to fight for all of the spending cuts that we can get an agreement to.”

Bullfeathers, shot back tea partyer Tom Altman.

“They’re chicken. They’re cow-ards,” said the 60-year-old resident of Westmoreland County, Pa., who says

he’s been active in Republican politics. Nonetheless, he said of the House’s ruling GOP officials: “They’re our em-ployees. We need to fire them.”

“It’s not the Republican freshmen, it’s Boehner and the Republican lead-ership,” said Cincinnati retiree Rich-ard Ringo. “Last year, a lot of people thought, ‘Well, the Republicans are in power now, we can relax.’ But they’re doing the same thing they always do, whether it’s the Republicans or the Democrats.”

The intensifying talks are as much a test of credibility and clout for the tea party as they are a measure of Boeh-ner’s ability to lead. There’s evidence that some of the 87 members of the freshmen class have been educated by their real bosses — their constituents — on the fact that governing is what lawmakers get paid for. And some-times compromise is the only path to making policy.

“Compromise on the subject of spending is a tough sell. It doesn’t mean it’s an impossible sell,” said freshman Rep. Steve Womack, R-Ark., a member of the Appropriations Committee who won his seat with

GOP battles tea party expectations

72 percent of the vote. Though he ac-knowledges the voters’ mandate to cut spending, “I also live in a realistic world.”

Another freshman suggested the tea partyers save their powder. The current, slow-motion showdown is only over a budget to fund the rest of this fiscal year. Just wait, said Rep. Adam Kinzinger, for the fireworks over next year’s budget, as well as a must-pass bill to allow the government to borrow more money to meet its com-mitments. Republicans hope to use that measure to force further spending cuts on the president.

“What I tell folks is: this is like Fort Sumter in the Civil War,” the Illinois Republican said Wednesday. “This

is the first fight. The big battle is still ahead of us.”

Such rhetoric reflects an assump-tion that budget negotiators have har-bored for weeks: that with time, those new to Capitol Hill would learn that the only way a budget passes is with spending cuts that all sides agree on. And that means reductions in the end of somewhere South of the $61 billion in the budget the House passed last month.

Talks centered on $33 billion in cuts, and there was evidence that members of the broader Republican caucus weren’t balking.

“I don’t believe that shutting down government is a solution to the prob-lem. Republicans and Democrats

need to work out a compromise,” said Rep. Charles Bass, R-N.H. “Let’s get this over with and get on to the budget.”

The tea party rally Thursday offered headline-grabbing rhetoric aimed at reminding lawmakers of the populist budget-cutting furor that propelled them to power. Headlining the event was the movement’s star and possible presidential contender Michele Bach-mann, the top Republican fundraiser in the House.

The House’s top Republican lead-ers did not attend the event. But Sen-ate Republican Leader Mitch McCon-nell defended the tea party movement on the Senate floor against Demo-crats who have suggested it has lost popularity.

The Bracketbusters are break-ing down college basketball’s classist narrative.

Little attention has been devoted to the Connecticut-Kentucky Final Four matchup, so much diverted to the little guys’ coming-of-age. Soak it up, Butler and Virginia Commonwealth.

No matter how much analysts and pundits try, there’s no trivializ-ing these teams’ arrival on the na-tional scene. Don’t call Butler and Virginia Commonwealth Cinderellas.

They are far more. They’re statistical aberrations. They’re don’t-ever-bet-on-these-teams-unless-you’re-a-seer long shots.

Together, they represent a counter-image to the ever-present pecking or-der in collegiate athletics.

History tells us to embrace this. His-tory tells us this doesn’t happen very of-ten. History tells us this probably won’t happen again for awhile.

And unfortunately, after Saturday’s showdown between 11th-seeded VCU and eighth-seeded Butler, one team will be history, a footnote in America’s collective sporting conscious.

It’s a shame that the two teams find themselves on the same side of the bracket. An all-mid-major final would carry so much more weight in legiti-mizing mid-major teams across the nation.

Such an occurrence would guar-antee a win for the oft-forgotten on the biggest national stage not named the Super Bowl. What’s not a shame is that in getting to the Final Four both white-hot teams have beaten some of college basketball’s bluebloods.

And in the setup of the modern-day

The UNM men’s soccer team is do-ing its own version of spring training.

The Lobos will play two exhibition games Sunday against Fort Lewis at 10 a.m. and CSU-Pueblo at 3:30 p.m.

“It’s a funny situation when you play Division II teams,” head coach Jeremy Fishbein said. “Our players may not respect them as much as they should, and for Division II teams, these are huge games for them.”

Fort Lewis is a familiar opponent. The Lobos faced the Skyhawks in their 2009 preseason match. UNM defeated the Division II 2009 national champi-ons 2-1 in overtime thanks to two goals from forward Devon Sandoval.

Midfielder Lance Rozeboom said games against Division II opponents are always tough.

But he said he is confident that the Lobos will come out with two wins.

“We have the game against Fort Lewis and that is always a big rivalry,” he said. “They think they can play with us, so we will see what happens there.”

Between games, the Lobos will have only a few hours of rest before playing another 90 minutes.

Redshirt freshman Carson Balding-er said his team can cope with playing two games the same day.

“Well, we don’t have as many play-ers as we would like, but it’s the spring season,” he said. “We are all real fit, and we have done a lot of work this spring, so two games in one day is not that hard. We have done them before in club days, so I think we will be fine.”

For many of the six redshirt fresh-men, including Baldinger, the spring

season allows them to fight for a start-ing spot in the fall.

After losing standouts like Michael Reed and Matt Armstrong to gradua-tion, Fishbein will be looking to find players to fill voids.

“They are going to get to assess themselves against the competition,” he said. “They are going to get to play in the fall, and we get to start working on some combinations of players and see who can play where. This will set the tone for next fall.”

So far, the Lobos are 1-1-1 during their spring season after playing Ed-monton Football club twice, a Cana-dian professional team. The Lobos tied Edmonton FC 1-1 in their first game before falling to them 4-1 in their sec-ond game. UNM also played Grand Canyon University in Arizona. The Lobos beat Grand Canyon University 2-0.

“That first weekend was good,” Ro-zeboom said. “We had a tough day the second day against the Canadian team, but we did tie them the day be-fore. We got some guys playing in new positions and some young guys, and I think the team is starting to gel really well together.”

NCAA competitive arena, that’s worth remembering.

Conventional wisdom holds that because of the NCAA tournament, college basketball is more egalitar-ian than the BCS, but it’s just as much an elitist caste system, marked by the same inherited divisions of royalty and peasantry — of wealth, power and tradition.

Even filling out a bracket is a rein-forcing exercise in conformity.

Save the occasional upsets, who would have ever picked this Final Four? It’s an established, and oftentimes proven, practice to pick the dominant programs. It’s the way it always has been, but as the Bulldogs and Rams are proving, not the way it will always be.

The Dukes, the Kansases, the Ken-tuckies, the North Carolinas — teams that stand symbolically as the haves — have but one leg left to stand on (the fourth-seeded Wildcats), and maybe to some extent, two with Connecticut, if they’ve assumed a seat among col-lege basketball’s royal court.

What’s troubling is that even af-ter everything they’ve proved in get-ting to this stage of the tourney, some will continue to think Butler and VCU are nothing more than court jesters — here for our entertainment now, gone later.

Yet the fact remains that Butler, with two Final Four appearances in consecutive years, is exhuming its

mid-major roots and scrapping its sub-servient implied meaning.

You can’t write off that last year the Bulldogs were a bucket and a lucky bounce away from pulling out the most improbable, haywire upset that would have turned the classist system on its inflated head. This year, without star player Gordon Hayward, they’re back in the Final Four.

From first four to final four, Virginia Commonwealth, led by the scholarly coach Shaka Smart and the Little En-gine They Said Couldn’t (Joey Rodri-guez), has become the Yuletide story in March that’s gripped the country’s short attention span.

And to think, if not for NCAA tour-nament expansion (from 64 to 68 teams), VCU likely would have missed out on the madness.

So don’t take this for granted. Take Saturday’s matchup for the experience it is. Revel in it.

These teams not only represent themselves; they represent the under-represented, the working class, the marginalized, the underappreciated.

They are an ever-evolving metaphor for equality. They are not the rule(-ing), but the exception(al). The hope is that one — it doesn’t matter which — can write the storybook ending to a capti-vating counterculture narrative.

Only then will Bracketbusters no longer be thought of as an underclass, but a class of their own.

MIAMI — Jeffrey Kessler and Howard Ganz were attorneys on oppo-site sides of the dais in a hotel ballroom Thursday, which seemed strangely ap-propriate given that they were discussing labor issues facing professional sports.

Among Kessler’s clients: NBA

players.Among Ganz’s clients: the NBA

itself.And already, concern is ramping up

that the NBA could soon be in the same situation the NFL currently faces.

Many in a field of top sports busi-ness experts appearing at the World Congress of Sports believe that all ma-jor sports leagues — other than baseball — are likely facing labor trouble, with

some predicting that next season’s NBA schedule will be shortened by a work stoppage. Talk of labor issues domi-nated the two-day event, which ended Thursday.

“I think certainly a lockout is by no means inevitable,” said Ganz, the co-chair of Proskauer’s Sports Law Group and someone who has advised the NBA on labor issues for more than 30 years. “There is plenty of time left to reach a

new agreement. The parties have been engaged in negotiations. ... I’m sure there will be bargaining sessions sched-uled shortly.”

The NBA’s current labor deal expires June 30.

With the NFL already three weeks into its lockout after talks on a new labor agreement broke down, and with base-ball involved in talks on a new deal — its collective bargaining agreement expires

in December, though there are no signs of major trouble looming in its negotia-tions — there’s widespread speculation across the sports world about what may happen with the NBA.

The NBA has said it expects a loss of about $350 million this season, and com-missioner David Stern said late last year that owners would aim to reduce player salary costs by about $750 to $800 mil-lion annually.

INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana — Stan-ford coach Tara VanDerveer feels as if she’s coming home to the women’s Final Four.

She played at Indiana, coached at Ohio State and won four Big Ten titles before turning Stanford into one of the most prestigious programs in wom-en’s basketball.

Even her college coach, Bea Gor-ton, plans to be around for the games in Indianapolis.

Now, that’s a Hoosier welcome.“She’s actually in assisted liv-

ing and will come down to go to the game,” VanDerveer said Wednesday. “� at was a long time ago. It’s very ex-citing and it does have a little special feel to it — and I love the arena.”

VanDerveer isn’t the only one ea-ger to get inside Conseco Fieldhouse this weekend.

Two-time defending national champ Connecticut, 2001 champion Notre Dame, � rst-time Final Four par-ticipant Texas A&M and VanDerveer’s team, which has � nished second twice in the past three years, are all ready to play for a national title.

� ree of the schools have strong ties to Indiana.

� ere’s VanDerveer, an Indiana University Hall of Famer; UConn for-ward Kelly Faris, who played prep ball at Heritage Christian; and Notre Dame guard Skylar Diggins, the 2009 Indiana Miss Basketball.

And, of course, South Bend is just a short drive away.

“We’re hoping a big Notre Dame crowd follows us down to Indy,” Fight-ing Irish coach Mu� et McGraw said. “We are so excited to be playing close to home and hoping for a lot of green in the stands.”

Organizers could bene� t from the � eld, too.

With roughly 18,000 seats in the arena and tickets still available, the composition could generate enough excitement locally to sell out the � eldhouse.

Spokesman John Dedman ac-knowledged Wednesday he expects most of those tickets to be gone before Sunday’s two semi� nal games, but having Notre Dame, VanDerveer and Faris in town will help.

“I think local fans will get to see some really good basketball,” Dedman said. “Hopefully, they were excited about all the teams in the Elite Eight, but now that we’ve got some local sto-ry lines, hopefully, they’re even more excited.”

Besides, it could be a historic weekend.

UConn (36-1) is trying to become the third team to win three straight NCAA titles. Tennessee won three in a row from 1996 to 1998, a mark the Hus-kies matched from 2002-04. � is will also mark the end of Maya Moore’s in-credible career. � e second four-time

All-American in history reached 3,000 points against Duke on Tuesday night.

To win the title, they’ll have to get past homestate favorite and Big East rival Notre Dame. � e Fighting Irish (30-7) ended a 20-game losing streak against Tennessee to reach the Fi-nal Four, and now get UConn for the fourth time this season. � e Hus-kies swept the previous three games — and they’ll be at a home-court disadvantage.

“You don’t like it, but you can’t avoid it,” coach Geno Auriemma said of the matchup. “When you get to the Final Four, you’re going to have to play somebody really, really good. And so are they.”

If any team understands the op-portunity that comes with playing the same team four times, it’s Texas A&M.

� e Aggies (31-5) lost three times this season to Baylor, but won the game that mattered most — the Dal-las Regional � nal. Leading scorer Danielle Adams is the � rst All-Ameri-can in school history and coach Gary Blair has Final Four experience with Arkansas.

Texas A&M draws VanDerveer’s Cardinal (33-2), who are making a fourth straight Final Four appear-ance. Stanford hasn’t won a title since 1992, but ended UConn’s record 90-game winning streak in December and comes to town with two play-ers — Kayla Pedersen and Jeanette Pohlen — who are determined to go out winners.

“More than anything, it’s not about me or me going back there but what I feel is to be able to be going with this team,” VanDerveer said. “To share this four times with Jeanette and Kayla.”

Whatever happens, Faris wants people to leave with a bet-ter idea of what Indiana is all about — basketball.

“I don’t live on a farm. I’m more the basketball girl in the driveway,” she said. “When people think of Indi-ana, they think corn. For me, it’s more than that. It’s home. It’s where I feel comfortable. My shell. It’s the home of basketball.”

And now the women’s Final Four.

Final Four all have Indiana ties

N E W YORK — As soon as Jus-tin Verlander

was done for the day, the Detroit Ti-gers froze up.

Verlander held the New York Yan-kees in check for six innings, throw-

Pitcher’s play costs Tigers game

Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Phil Coke hands the ball to manager Jim Leyland during the seventh inning of a baseball game against the Yankees on Thursday at Yankee Stadium in New York. The Tigers lost the game 6-3.

ing 114 pitches in short sleeves on a frigid afternoon, but Phil Coke served up a tiebreaking homer to ex-Tiger Curtis Granderson in the seventh and Detroit dropped its sea-son opener 6-3 on Thursday.

“I just felt absolutely not right. Nothing else to blame but myself,” said Coke, scheduled to move into the rotation April 9. “You’ve got to do your job. I didn’t do my job to-day. I’m irritated with myself be-cause of it.”

Third baseman Brandon Inge, normally a reliable fielder, commit-ted a costly throwing error, and a pair of wild pitches by young reliev-ers Ryan Perry and Daniel Schlereth led to insurance runs for New York.

Victor Martinez singled in his first at-bat for Detroit, helping his new team build an early run, and Miguel Cabrera hit a sacrifice fly and scored twice. But by the time Mariano Ri-vera closed it out for a save, the final 10 Tigers hitters had been retired by New York’s imposing bullpen.

“Their bullpen and the long ball is what did us in today,” Detroit man-ager Jim Leyland said. “I thought it was actually a decent game for the conditions. It was pretty rough.”

Granderson, traded to the Yan-kees in a December 2009 deal that sent Coke and Austin Jackson to De-troit, also made two terrific plays in center and homered in his third consecutive opener.

Jackson, coming off a strong rookie season, struck out three times in the leadoff spot. He also singled and scored.

Coke (0-1) was brought in to face Granderson in a lefty-on-lefty matchup to start the bottom of the seventh. Coke fell behind 2-0 and Granderson drove the next pitch into the second deck in right.

“Couldn’t throw a strike until he hit it out of the yard,” Coke said.

Said Leyland: “He just got be-hind Granderson and left no doubt what was coming.”

With the flags above the lights in right field whipping toward the foul pole, Mark Teixeira connected off Verlander for a three-run shot in the third.

“It was a fastball in. He did a pretty good job of turning on it. Not too many hitters can do that,” Tigers catcher Alex Avila said.

Slimmed down by 25 pounds af-ter having surgery on his right knee this winter, Yankees starter CC Sa-bathia gave up six hits and three

runs — two earned — in six innings. Making his third opening day start in three seasons with New York, Sa-bathia struck out seven and walked two.

Joba Chamberlain (1-0), Rafael Soriano and Rivera each pitched a perfect inning.

“We’ve got to score early in the game,” Cabrera said. “They’re tough.”

Verlander was making his fourth straight opening day start, most for the Tigers since Jack Morris went 10 in a row (1980-90). He was hoping to get off to a quick start after going 1-2 with a 5.29 ERA last year in April before finishing 18-9, and he altered his offseason workout routine to help accomplish that.

“Obviously, coming out of the spring that I had, this is not the re-sult that I wanted,” Verlander said. “I felt pretty calm considering opening day, Yankee Stadium — it’s hard to keep your adrenaline in check.”

The right-hander reached 97 mph on the radar gun in the first, but walked Teixeira and Alex Rodriguez before striking out Robinson Cano with his 31st pitch of the inning.

Verlander gave up just two oth-er hits, including Rodriguez’s one-out double in the sixth that hit the fence in right-center just above the 385-foot marker. He walked Cano, but struck out Nick Swisher and Jorge Posada with two deceptive changeups.

“I’m trying to change things around in April. Last April I wore long sleeves,” Verlander said. “The only issue when I felt it was really cold on my body was coming out of the dugout. They have heaters in there.”

Jhonny Peralta drove in his first run of the month. After going with-out an RBI in 66 spring at-bats, he hit a sacrifice fly in his first plate ap-pearance to give Detroit the lead in the second inning.

Cabrera lined a single and Mar-tinez hit a hot shot to shortstop that Derek Jeter couldn’t corral. The ball squirted into center for a base hit. Sabathia walked the bases loaded before Peralta flied out.

“We did center some balls pretty good off CC, especially early,” Ley-land said. “We didn’t have a lot of luck with it.”

Detroit closed to 3-2 on Inge’s two-out single in the fourth and tied it on Cabrera’s sacrifice fly in the fifth.
