Northeast blizzard coulddump 18 inches of snow onNew YorkNEW YORK (AP) — The
Northeast is bracing for winter’slast hurrah — a blizzard expect-
ed to sweep the New York regionstarting Monday with possiblythe season’s biggest snowstormdumping up to 18 inches on Cen-tral Park.The National Weather Service
issued a blizzard watch Sundayfor coastal regions including NewYork City and surrounding areasof Long Island, WestchesterCounty and Connecticut.A winter storm watch was in
effect for a larger area of theNortheast: New Jersey, Pennsyl-vania and New England.In New York City, forecasters
said the first snow is expectedlate Monday or just after mid-night Tuesday, with up to 4 inch-es falling by dawn. Heavy snowthe rest of the day could pile 10to 14 inches more of white stuff,with sustained winds of about 30mph and wind gusts of up to 50mph.“This would certainly be the
biggest snowstorm of the 2017winter season in New York City,”said Faye Barthold, a weatherservice meteorologist based onLong Island.On Long Island, a snowfall of
12 to 18 inches was forecastalong with equally strong windsand visibility of a quarter mile orless.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Thebiting humor of “Saturday NightLive” took aim at another Trumpthis week — first daughter Ivan-ka.The long-standing comedy
show skewered President DonaldTrump’s elder daughter with afaux perfume ad, starring actressScarlett Johansson. The name ofthe perfume? Complicit.As Johansson walks into an
elegant party in a glitteringevening dress, the narrator says:“A woman like her deserves afragrance all her own. A scentmade just for her. Because she’sbeautiful. She’s powerful. She’scomplicit.”“She doesn’t crave the spot-
light, but we see her. Oh, how wesee her,” says the narrator asJohansson applies lipstick andsees Alec Baldwin playingTrump reflected back in the mir-ror.The narrator continues: “A
feminist, an advocate, a champi-on for women, but like how?”And concludes: “Complicit:
The fragrance for the womanwho could stop all of this butwon’t.”It was the first time Johans-
son portrayed Ivanka Trump.Actress Margot Robbie depictedher in a sketch in the fall.Ivanka Trump was a popular
surrogate for her father on the
campaign trail. She steppedaway from executive roles at herself-named lifestyle brand andwith the family business to moveher young family to Washington,D.C., when Trump took office.For now, just her husband,
Jared Kushner, has an officialposition, but Ivanka Trump hasbeen an active presence at WhiteHouse meetings and has been
advocating for several issues,including for new child care poli-cies. The extent of her influenceover her father behind the sceneshas been the subject of intensespeculation.The White House and a repre-
sentative for Ivanka Trump didnot immediately respond torequests for comment on “Satur-day Night Live.”

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Thetrendsetting South by Southwestmusic festival is all about thenext big thing, but the heatedpolitics of the moment is stealingthe show.Tensions over immigration
have put a heavy air over thetypically breezy weeklong musicbash that begins Monday andincludes headliners The AvettBrothers, Weezer and the Wu-Tang Clang dropping intoAustin, along with roughly 2,000other acts from around theworld.It’s more than just promises of
bands using SXSW as a stage forpolitically-charged performancesin the wake of President DonaldTrump’s executive orders onimmigration: The festival hascome under fire itself for warninginternational artists that badbehavior could result in it mak-ing a call to U.S. immigrationagents.Unrelated, but still stoking
concerns, was the Italian bandSoviet Soviet posting on Face-book on Friday that it was deniedentry into the U.S. Soviet Sovietclaimed U.S. customs officials inSeattle said the band membersneeded work visas, but the band
says it didn’t believe work visaswere required for a promotionaland unpaid tour.Trump’s revised travel ban
blocks new visas for people fromsix predominantly Muslim coun-tries including Somalia, Iran,Syria, Sudan, Libya and Yemen.It also temporarily shuts downthe U.S. refugee program. Unlikethe original order, the new onesays current visa holders won’tbe affected, and it removes lan-guage that would give priority toreligious minorities.Matthew Covey, a New York-
based immigration attorney whohelps international performersobtain visas to enter the U.S.,said the travel ban has unsettledartists who are not even from theimpacted countries.“Everybody is worried now,”
Covey said “We’re getting callsfrom Danish jazz musicians say-ing, ‘Am I going to be OK?’ Yeah,probably. You’re a Danish jazzmusician. But everybody is onedge.”Covey is helping put on a
SXSW showcase of artists exclu-sively from the list of bannedcountries in response to Trump’sorder, although none of the per-formers currently live in those
nations.SXSW organizers had quickly
come out against Trump’s travelban, but later found themselveson the defensive over a contractprovision warning that “SXSWwill notify the appropriate U.S.immigration authorities” if anperformer acts in ways that“adversely affect the viability oftheir official SXSW showcase.”The language set off a storm of
criticism and at least one per-former announced plans to can-cel. Organizers said the clausewas a safeguard in the event ofan artist doing something egre-gious — such as flouting rulesabout pyrotechnics or starting abrawl — but pledged to remove itfrom future contracts.Zane Lowe, who runs Apple’s
Beats 1 Radio and will be akeynote speaker at the festival,said he has taken more noticelately of music reflecting thetimes.“I don’t believe that we’re in
an era of a movement,” Lowesaid. “But I believe that we’re inan era where, more than it hasbeen in recent times, what’sgoing on in and around the musicis going to have a very directimpact on what’s made.”

McCain to Trump:Provide wiretap
evidence or retract claimWASHINGTON (AP) — The
House intelligence committee isasking the Trump administra-tion for evidence that the phonesat Trump Tower were tappedduring the campaign as itsnamesake has charged, a requestreinforced Sunday by an influen-tial Republican senator who saysthe president must either comeup with the evidence or retracthis claim.“I think the president has one
of two choices: either retract or toprovide the information that theAmerican people deserve,because, if his predecessor violat-ed the law, President Obama vio-lated the law, we have got a seri-ous issue here, to say the least,”Sen. John McCain said.President Donald Trump
asserted in a tweet last week:“Terrible! Just found out thatObama had my ‘wires tapped’ inTrump Tower just before thevictory. Nothing found. This isMcCarthyism!” He continuedthe allegation against formerPresident Barack Obama inother tweets but offered no evi-dence.The request for evidence by
Monday was made in a lettersent to the Justice Departmentby the House committee chair-man, Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif.,and the panel’s ranking Demo-crat, Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif.,a senior congressional aide saidSaturday. The aide wasn’t autho-rized to discuss the request byname and requested anonymity.
Obama’s director of nationalintelligence, James Clapper, hassaid that nothing matchingTrump’s claims had taken place,but that has not quelled specula-tion that Trump’s communica-tions were monitored by theObama administration. Trumphas asked Congress to investi-gate.Early this past week, Schiff
said the committee would answerthe president’s call to investigatethe claim. He also said he wouldask FBI Director James Comeydirectly when he appears laterthis month before the full com-mittee, which is investigatingRussian activities during theelection.On Sunday, Schiff said he
doubted there was any evidenceof wiretapping, but that Comeyand others called to testify at theupcoming hearing “would be in aposition to have to know.”“I think on March 20 if not
before we’ll be able to put this torest,” Schiff told GeorgeStephanopoulos on ABC’s “ThisWeek.” ‘’I don’t think anyone hasany question about this, George.The only question is why thepresident would make up such athing.”McCain said Trump could
“clear this up in a minute” if hewere to call “the director of theCIA, director of national intelli-gence and say, ‘OK, what hap-pened?’”The president has an obliga-
tion to provide evidence that
Obama broke the law or retracthis claim, the Arizona Republi-can said.“I do believe on issues such as
this, accusing a former presidentof the United States of somethingwhich is not only illegal, but justunheard of, that requires corrob-oration. I’ll let the American peo-ple be the judge, but this is seri-ous stuff,” McCain said on CNN’s“State of the Union.”Kellyanne Conway, a coun-
selor to the president, said Sun-day on Fox News Channel’s“MediaBuzz that the House andSenate intelligence committeeshave agreed to investigate and“we’ll make a comment afterthose findings are complete.”Nunes has said that so far he
has not seen any evidence toback up Trump’s claim and hassuggested the news media weretaking the president’s weekendtweets too literally.“The president is a neophyte
to politics — he’s been doing thisa little over a year,” Nunes toldreporters this past week.Other lawmakers also have
asked for evidence.Declaring that Congress
“must get to the bottom” ofTrump’s claim, Sens. LindseyGraham, R-S.C., and SheldonWhitehouse, D-R.I., askedComey and Acting Deputy Attor-ney General Dana Boente to pro-duce the paper trail createdwhen the Justice Department’scriminal division secures war-rants for wiretaps.
NEW YORK (AP) — Anotheryear, another “Avatar” postpone-ment. James Cameron says thelong-gesticulating sequel to hisscience-fiction epic will not bereleased next year.“2018 is not happening,”
Cameron told The Toronto Star.Cameron has been developing fourmore “Avatar” films simultaneous-ly. Though “Avatar 2” had not offi-cially been scheduled for next year,20th Century Fox last Novemberdated a film from Cameron’s pro-duction company for Dec. 21, 2018.That means that at least a
decade will likely followCameron’s 2009 “Avatar” before
a sequel lands in theaters.Cameron has said the scripts
are done for all four films andthat pre-production work contin-ues. The director called it “an
epic undertaking” ‘’not unlikebuilding the Three Gorges Dam.”But he assured fans he’s work-
ing hard: “We’re full-tilt boogieright now,” said Cameron.

Dystopian fiction is sellinglike there’s no tomorrowBOSTON (AP) — Save the
light reading for later. In 2017,dystopian fiction is all the rage.Gloomy classics depicting soci-
eties gone terribly wrong haveshot to the top of best-seller listslike Amazon’s in recent months,including George Orwell’s “1984”and Margaret Atwood’s “TheHandmaid’s Tale,” promptingpublishers to ramp up productiondecades after the books were firstreleased. Others have followedclose behind, such as Aldous Hux-ley’s “Brave New World,” SinclairLewis’ “It Can’t Happen Here” andRay Bradbury’s “Fahrenheit 451.”Some nonfiction works in the
same vein have seen similarresurgences, including HannahArendt’s 1951 “Origins of Totali-tarianism.”Longtime staples in English lit-
erature courses, dystopian worksare attracting new attention fromcasual readers and social bookclubs. Local theater groups areadapting versions for the stage.College courses on dystopian clas-sics are suddenly drawing longwait lists.Much of the renewed interest
has followed the November elec-tion of President Donald Trump,which publishers and scholars sayis no coincidence.“Definitely the election had an
effect,” said LuAnn Walther,” edi-torial director of the paperbackdivision at Knopf. “There’s fearout there about what is going tohappen, and I think these predic-tive books are helpful to peoplewho are looking for the dangersthe future might hold.”One edition of “1984” has seen
sales jump by 10,000 percent sinceJanuary, when Trump adviserKellyanne Conway defendedincorrect claims as “alternativefacts” in a TV interview. Itinstantly drew comparisons to the
type of government manipulationOrwell wrote about nearly 70years ago.“That was so perfectly
Orwellian, that truth is variableand can be changed, and thatthere’s a fact and then there’s acounter-fact,” said Peter Stansky,an Orwell biographer and a pro-fessor emeritus of history at Stan-ford University. “The currentTrump situation has just caused avast upsurge in interest.”Other critics have said Trump’s
views on immigration and thenews media, while not unique,would fit neatly into the plot of adystopian tale. In college classeson dystopian works, students havebeen eager to draw their own par-allels. Dozens of U.S. movie the-aters are screening a film versionof “1984” in April as a protestagainst many of Trump’s policies.“Orwell’s portrait of a govern-
ment that manufactures theirown facts, demands total obedi-ence and demonizes foreign ene-mies has never been timelier,” thegroup United State of Cinema,which is organizing the protest,wrote in a statement.Those types of barbs are far
from new in American politics.Critics of former President BarackObama compared him to thewatchful Big Brother in “1984”after a vast government surveil-lance program was detailed in2013 leaks. Sales of the novelsurged then, too.In the case of Trump, some
scholars say the comparisons arelargely unjustified.“On the face of it, there are
absolutely no parallels,” saidRobert Colls, a professor of cultur-al history at Britain’s De MontfortUniversity who wrote a 2013 bookon Orwell. “Trump was elected,and as far as I know he hasn’tpurged anyone or killed anyone.”
Quentin Kopp, a leader of thenonprofit Orwell Society, said thatthere may be some similarities butthat “it’s easy to overstate theseparallels or dig too hard.” Hisgroup seeks to promote Orwell’slife and works but takes no politi-cal stance.Some experts say readers often
return to dystopian works duringperiods of great change, hoping tofind out how they can avoid thenightmarish worlds the worksdepict. Beyond the U.S. election,readers might be jarred by eventslike the global refugee crisis, somesay.“There’s a factor of activism
that you can take away from read-ing dystopian fiction, reading it asa defense against who we mightbecome,” said Therese Cox, a doc-toral candidate teaching a courseon dystopian fiction at ColumbiaUniversity. “It speaks to impulsesand fears that we’ve had for a verylong time.”Others say new adaptations of
classic works have fueled renewedinterest. Hulu is releasing a TVversion of “The Handmaid’s Tale”in April, telling the story of awoman in New England after anoppressive religious regime takesover. In June, a British stage pro-duction of “1984” is headed toBroadway.John Morillo, who teaches a
course on dystopias at North Car-olina State University, said readershave long enjoyed dystopian fictionbecause it lets them experience thethrill of something horrific withoutthe threat of real danger. But nowhe sees another benefit — it canoffer readers a comforting reminderabout the world today.“Now maybe it’s a sense that,
well, it’s still not that bad,” hesaid. “They can close this book andsay, ‘Now there’s hope for thefuture.’”

In Their Opinion
Independent oversight of Wisconsin’s judges andcourt commissioners is at risk in Gov. Scott Walker’sproposed new state budget.The governor, citing potential but unspecified
“administrative efficiencies,” has asked the state Legis-lature to remove the independent standing of the Wis-consin Judicial Commission and instead put it, and itsbudget, under the jurisdiction of the state SupremeCourt.The commission is charged with investigating com-
plaints against state judges — and that includesSupreme Court justices. Each year, the Judicial Com-mission reviews 400 to 500 complaints against judgesand court commissioners and, if it finds probable causeof misconduct, either issues a warning or seeks disci-plinary action from a three-judge panel.The panel’s recommendations go to the state
Supreme Court, which is the ultimate arbiter in decid-ing whether a judge or commissioner is reprimanded,suspended, censure or removed from office.It is of note that in the past decade, the Judicial Com-
mission has alleged misconduct against sitting highcourt justices three times — one of which resulted in aSupreme Court reprimand against Justice AnnetteZiegler for failing to avoid conflict of interests when shewas a circuit judge in Washington County. Ziegler hadpresided over nearly a dozen cases involving a WestBend Bank when her husband was on the board of thebank.In perhaps the most notorious case, the Judicial
Commission recommended action against Justice DavidProsser for allegations that he placed his hands on theneck of Justice Ann Walsh Bradley during a heatedargument. Seven justices were present at the mini-melee and after Prosser called on them to recuse them-selves because they were witnesses, the high courtcouldn’t reach a decision because it lacked a quorum.Suffice to say that such pesky complaints by the Judi-
cial Commission would probably dwindle if the JudicialCommission was placed under the control of the highcourt itself. Instead of a judicial watchdog, the JudicialCommission would lose its independence, and its teeth,and become a cozy lapdog for the court.But the Legislature doesn’t have to listen to us —
they should listen to the Commission itself. Earlier thismonth, the nine-member Judicial Commission urgedlawmakers to oppose Walker’s proposed change.“The proposed budget degrades the independence of
the Judicial Commission by transferring the budgetingand position authority over the Commission from theLegislature to the Supreme Court,” commission execu-tive director Jeremiah Van Hecke warned.It should also be noted, the Judicial Commission is
not made up of a partisan left-wing cabal operating outof some cellar in the City of Madison: five of the com-mission’s members were appointed by Gov. Walker. Theother four were appointed by the state Supreme Court.They see what we see — that putting the commission
under the aegis of the high court would not only jeopar-dize fair and even-handed judicial oversight, it wouldpose real conflicts of interest for both the SupremeCourt and the commission members.The Legislature should pull this proposal from the
budget and keep the oversight of Wisconsin’s court asfree and independent as practicable.

Today in history
What comes next for women?International Women’s Day is a once-a-
year acknowledgment of what women doevery day of the year, which is to keep theworld afloat with our labor — paid andunpaid.March 8 fell on a Wednesday this year.
Here in the U.S., some of the organizers ofJanuary’s Women’s March encouragedwomen to wear red and take to the streetsagain. In addition to protesting, we were toavoid shopping — except at female-ownedbusinesses — and boycott our jobs to showthe impact of “A Day Without a Woman.”An admirable cause, no question, but it’s
one that brings out the crankiness in me, Iconfess. One of the challenges of showingsupport for women in America is how to dothis without excluding most of the women inAmerica who need it most.Many women who take care of patients,
for example, couldn’t take the day off withoutpotentially harming those they’ve committedtheir lives to helping. My friend Amy John-son responded to my post about this onFacebook, and she said it better than I evercould:“I am a nurse in an OB/GYN office com-
pletely run by women. The only males aretwo of our physicians who are amazing advo-cates for women, having devoted their entirecareers to their care. There can be no ‘DayWithout A Woman’ day-off here because wewould not be able to serve the 60 women wewill see today for prenatal care and GYN-related issues like Pap tests, breast examsand STD treatment if there were. We will
consider our work serving the healthcareneeds of women to be our contribution to thecause — today and every day.”Women who take care of children, such as
teachers and day care workers, very likelyadded an additional burden to the lives ofother women who had to scramble to findalternative child care, often at extra cost, ifthey chose to boycott work. Some of theseschool communities reportedly organized vol-unteers for alternative child care, but Iunderstand why some parents would balk.For 10 years, I was a single mother with a joband no family nearby. Safe, reliable childcare was a constant source of stress andworry, but I would never have entrusted thecare of my child to strangers. Now a seasonedgrandmother, I know that for all of my out-dated ways, I am still in sync with most oftoday’s parents on that one.Now let’s consider hourly wage earners,
who are the backbone and the beating heartof labor in this country. They cannot take offwork without fear of losing their jobs. After
years of interviewing such women and writ-ing about their lives, I thought I understoodthe full burden of their work. It took only 10minutes today in a national chain store todiscover a new depth to my cluelessness.I approached three different female
employees to talk about Wednesday’s protest,and each balked at the sight of my notebook.One of them told me, “I know you thinkyou’re helping, but if corporate finds out Italked to you without permission, I’m fired.”Think about that. They couldn’t even
describe what it means to be a woman rightnow without fear of reprisal from theirbosses. Never have I felt more privilegedfor getting paid to say whatever’s on mymind.Also, let’s keep this in mind: A high per-
centage of hourly wage labor is performed bywomen who are not white. Optics matterhere. When public protests are populated bymostly white women who have control overtheir schedules and their lives, even the mosthonorable of causes can come off as a luckyhobby.I have been thrilled by the throngs of
women marching in the streets of Americafor the women of America. Makes me feel theweight of my years, in a good way.But if there’s one thing age hasn’t cured in
me, it’s my impatience.Let’s figure out what comes next.Connie Schultz is a Pulitzer Prize-win-
ning columnist and professional in residenceat Kent State University’s school of journal-ism. Email her at [email protected].

THE IRON County Sheriff’s Department investigates a May 7, 2016, rollover accident off U.S. 2 in the town ofKimball, Wis.
Man alleges Detroit policeframed him for 1992 slayingDETROIT (AP) — Thumbing
through a law journal, DesmondRicks recognized the name of agun expert whose testimony hadhelped convict him of murder in1992. The Detroit man wrote aletter, made phone calls andeven offered gas money to per-suade him to visit prison.That tenacity could lead to
freedom.Ricks and a team from Uni-
versity of Michigan law schoolare making a remarkable claimwith help from the expert:Detroit police, they allege,framed him for that slaying 25years ago with sham evidence —bullets that didn’t come from thevictim.“I was in the wrong place at
the wrong time. I had nothing todo with this,” Ricks, 50, told TheAssociated Press, referring to theshooting of a friend outside aburger dive. “They switched thebullets on me.”The law school’s Innocence
Clinic, with an affidavit fromfirearms expert David Town-shend, is urging a judge to order
new tests on evidence still inpolice storage and throw outRicks’ second-degree murderconviction. The clinic has exoner-ated 10 people and freed threeothers since 2009 by exposingbad police work in Michigan,finding new witnesses and tap-ping specialists.But prosecutor Kym Worthy
isn’t giving up on Ricks’ convic-tion. Her office has dismissed thenew argument as “ingeniouslyimaginative.”Innocence Clinic director
David Moran said “it’s hard toimagine something so brazen” aspolice swapping bullets. But henoted that the Detroit police labwas shut down after a 2008 auditrevealed sloppy work, includingthe botched analysis of gun evi-dence.“Detroit police were infamous
at taking unconstitutional short-cuts in order to try to close mur-der cases,” Moran said, referringto the early 1990s when GerryBennett was killed. “Detroitpolice is a much different institu-tion now.”

e dogs are a pretty smart bunch. We do lots of things for humans, not just hunt quail. We also herd sheep, pull sleds, find people who are lost or need help, guide the blind and assist the police and military. Everyone knows that dogs can be trained to perform a number of tasks. Why, even I can shake hands, sit, lie down, and catch a tennis ball with the best of them! But what my father, Jim, did was different.
The first time Sam realized that Jim was more than just the average bird dog, they were in the woods together. It was a warm, fall afternoon, and Sam was looking for a shady place to rest. The shade of a hickory tree is a fine place to enjoy an autumn afternoon.
Sam said, “Jim, let’s find a hickory tree.”
Sam was really just talking to himself. He didn’t expect Jim to understand. But my father knew much more than any human had ever given him credit for!
As soon as Sam asked the question, Jim ran right over to a hickory tree and placed his front paw on it. He looked at his master as if to say “Here’s one!” Of course, humans are a doubtful bunch, so, naturally Sam thought this had to be a coincidence. Nevertheless, it was pretty funny, so he thought he’d give Jim another try.
“Yes sir, Jim, that is a hickory,” Sam said. “Now show me a black oak.”
Sam was shocked when Jim calmly trotted over to another tree and placed his paw right on the trunk of a black oak. Once again, he looked to his owner as if to say, “Here’s one!”
This time Sam got excited! It couldn’t have been a coincidence! What were the chances his setter would be right twice in a row? Sam intended to find out. He asked Jim to find more trees and other plants.
“Walnut tree! Hazel bushes! Show me a stump!” he called out.
Again and again Jim placed his paw on the right object. Sam believed he had a miracle on his hands. The trouble was, who else would believe him?
When Sam returned home that evening, he recounted Jim’s tale to his wife. She looked at him skeptically.
“It’s alright to tell me this, Sam,” she said. “As long as you don’t tell anyone else.”
She had reason to think her husband had lost his marbles. Humans have always questioned animal intelligence.
When Sam told his wife that their dog could understand English and identify trees, she thought her husband was either crazy or had been somehow tricked.
But doubt never stopped my father. Jim the Wonder Dog was just getting started.

Paper train ing
Many animals are famous for showing unique intelligence. In the early 20th century, there lived a horse named Clever Hans. Hans was famous for being able to do math! His owner, Wilhelm Von Osten, could ask him “Hans, what is 45+11?” and Hans would stomp his hoof 56 times. Hans was almost always right, and everyone believed that the horse could not only understand the German questions, but also solve math problems! Soon though, people realized that Hans often got problems wrong when the person asking him did not know the answer.
They learned that Hans actually did not know how to do math. He was picking up on subtle signs given by his questioners. For example, when Hans stomped his hoof and got closer and closer to the right answer, the people around him would get excited, communicating tension to the horse through their body language. When Hans stomped the correct number of times, this tension was released, so Hans knew that he should stop stomping. Pretty clever, but he wasn’t doing any math. Horses communicate with each other through body language, so once Hans figured out how to read the humans, he could stomp away, getting questions right nearly every time!
Scientists decided to call undetected signs humans accidentally give off when communicating with animals the Clever Hans Effect after this horse.
Jim the Wonder Dog’s observers designed clever evaluations to see if he was actually just responding to the Clever Hans Effect. Jim passed these tests with flying colors!

WASHINGTON (AP) — Twodays before Attorney GeneralJeff Sessions ordered dozens ofthe country’s top federal prosecu-tors to clean out their desks, hegave those political appointees apep talk during a conference call.The seemingly abrupt about-
face Friday left the affected U.S.attorneys scrambling to brief thepeople left behind and say good-bye to colleagues. It also couldhave an impact on morale for thecareer prosecutors who now mustpick up the slack, according tosome close to the process. Thequick exits aren’t expected tohave a major impact on ongoingprosecutions, but they gave U.S.attorneys little time to preparedeputies who will take over untilsuccessors are named.“It’s very, very gut-level reac-
tion,” said Steven Schleicher, aformer prosecutor who left Min-nesota U.S. Attorney AndrewLuger’s office in January andwas still in contact with peoplethere.The request for resignations
from the 46 prosecutors whowere holdovers from the Obamaadministration wasn’t shocking.It’s fairly customary for the 93U.S. attorneys to leave theirposts once a new president is inoffice, and many had already leftor were making plans for theirdepartures. Sessions himself wasasked to resign as a U.S. attor-ney in a similar purge by Attor-ney General Janet Reno in 1993.But the abrupt nature of the
dismissals — done with littleexplanation and not always withthe customary thanks for yearsof service — stunned andangered some of those left behindin offices around the country.Former prosecutors, friends
and colleagues immediatelystarted reaching out to eachother on a growing email chain toexpress condolences and support,commiserating about how unfairthey felt the situation was. One
U.S. attorney was out of state onFriday and was forced to saygoodbye to his office by a blastemail, said Tim Purdon, a formerU.S. attorney from North Dakotawho was included on the emailchain.Some of those ousted were
longtime prosecutors who hadspent their careers coming upthrough the ranks of the JusticeDepartment. John W. Vaudreuil,U.S. attorney for the WesternDistrict of Wisconsin, became anassistant U.S. attorney in thatoffice in 1980. Another, RichardS. Hartunian of the NorthernDistrict of New York, joined theJustice Department in the 1990s.“All of these U.S. attorneys
know they serve at the pleasureof the president. No one com-plains about that,” said JohnWalsh, an Obama-era appointeeas U.S. attorney in Colorado whoresigned in July. “But it was han-
dled in a way that was disre-spectful to the U.S. attorneysbecause they were almost treatedas though they had done some-thing wrong, when in fact theyhad not.”Peter Neronha, who had
served since 2009 as U.S. attor-ney for Rhode Island, said evenbefore Friday he had beenpreparing for his eventual depar-ture and had written a resigna-tion statement to be releasedupon his exit. He said he knewhis time was limited but hadbeen eager to stay on to seethrough a major public corrup-tion prosecution and to speakwith students about the perils ofopioid addiction.“When that was done, I was
going to go anyway — whether Igot 24 hours’ notice, or twoweeks’ notice, or two months’notice. It doesn’t really matter,”Neronha said.
Whenever there’s a change inpresidential administration, hesaid, “I think it would be unwisenot to be ready.”It’s not clear why the Justice
Department asked the prosecu-tors to exit so quickly. Sessionsgave no warning during theWednesday conference call inwhich he articulated his agendafor fighting violent crime.“The attorney general did not
mention on that call, ‘Stay tunedfor changes,’” Neronha said.Much of the public attention
since Friday has focused on PreetBharara, the high-profile Man-hattan federal prosecutor whosaid he was fired despite meetingwith then-President-elect DonaldTrump and saying he was askedto remain.Trump himself did apparently
make an attempt to speak withBharara in advance of the Fridaydemand for resignations. Thepresident reached out through asecretary on his staff to Bhararaa day earlier but the two mennever spoke, according to a per-son told about the conversationbut who requested anonymity.The White House on Sunday saidthe president reached out tothank Bharara for his serviceand to wish him good luck.The Justice Department on
Friday did say it would notaccept the resignations of DanaBoente, now the acting deputyattorney general, and Rod Rosen-stein, the Maryland prosecutorwho’s been nominated for thedeputy role.On Sunday, some Democrats
condemned the demand for res-ignations in highly partisancomments. Maryland Rep. ElijahCummings, the top Democrat onthe House Oversight Committee,suggested Trump might havefired Bharara to thwart a poten-tial corruption investigation,and believed the move added to alack of trust of the administra-tion.

NEW YORK (AP) — JoniSledge, who with her sistersrecorded the enduring danceanthem “We Are Family,” hasdied, the band’s representativesaid Saturday.She was 60.Sledge was found dead in her
home by a friend in Phoenix, Ari-zona, on Friday, the band’s publi-cist, Biff Warren, said. A cause ofdeath has not been determined.He said she had not been ill.“On yesterday, numbness fell
upon our family. We welcome yourprayers as we weep the loss of oursister, mother, aunt, niece andcousin,” read a family statement.Sledge and her sisters Debbie,
Kim and Kathy formed the SisterSledge in 1971 in Philadelphia,their hometown, but struggledfor years before success came.“The four of us had been in the
music business for eight yearsand we were frustrated. We weresaying: ‘Well, maybe we shouldgo to college and just becomelawyers or something other thanmusic, because it really istough,’” Joni told The Guardianin an interview last year.But then they met Bernard
Edwards and Nile Rodgers of the
hit group Chic, and their break-out soon came. The pair wroteand produced their album “WeAre Family,” and soon thewomen had their first major hitwith disco jam “The GreatestDancer,” which became a top 10hit in May 1979. (It would sam-
pled years later for Will Smith’shit “Getting Jiggy Wit It.”)But their biggest hit would
come a month later with the titletrack, an infectious dance anthemthat celebrated their familial con-nection with the refrain, “We arefamily, I got all my sisters with
me.” While it celebrated their sis-terhood, the 1979 hit so alsobecame an anthem for femaleempowerment and unity. It wouldbecome their signature hit, andwas nominated for a Grammy.Both the song and album soldmore than one million copies.

SOUTH ARI ATOLL, Mal-dives (AP) — There werestartling colors here just a yearago, a dazzling array of lifebeneath the waves. Now thisMaldivian reef is dead, killed bythe stress of rising ocean temper-atures. What’s left is a hauntingexpanse of gray, a scene repeatedin reefs across the globe in whathas fast become a full-blown eco-logical catastrophe.The world has lost roughly
half its coral reefs in the last 30years. Scientists are now scram-bling to ensure that at least afraction of these unique ecosys-tems survives beyond the nextthree decades. The health of theplanet depends on it: Coral reefssupport a quarter of all marinespecies, as well as half a billionpeople around the world.“This isn’t something that’s
going to happen 100 years fromnow. We’re losing them rightnow,” said marine biologist JuliaBaum of Canada’s University ofVictoria. “We’re losing them real-ly quickly, much more quicklythan I think any of us ever couldhave imagined.”Even if the world could halt
global warming now, scientistsstill expect that more than 90percent of corals will die by 2050.
Without drastic intervention, werisk losing them all.“To lose coral reefs is to funda-
mentally undermine the healthof a very large proportion of thehuman race,” said Ruth Gates,director of the Hawaii Instituteof Marine Biology.Coral reefs produce some of
the oxygen we breathe. Oftendescribed as underwater rain-forests, they populate a tiny frac-tion of the ocean but providehabitats for one in four marinespecies. Reefs also form crucialbarriers protecting coastlinesfrom the full force of storms.They provide billions of dol-
lars in revenue from tourism,fishing and other commerce, andare used in medical research forcures to diseases including can-cer, arthritis and bacterial orviral infections.“Whether you’re living in
North America or Europe or Aus-tralia, you should be concerned,”said biologist Ove Hoegh-Guld-berg, director of the GlobalChange Institute at Australia’sUniversity of Queensland. “Thisis not just some distant dive des-tination, a holiday destination.This is the fabric of the ecosys-tem that supports us.”And that fabric is being torn
apart.“You couldn’t be more dumb ...
to erode the very thing that lifedepends on — the ecosystem —and hope that you’ll get awaywith it,” Hoegh-Guldberg said.Corals are invertebrates, liv-
ing mostly in tropical waters.They secrete calcium carbonateto build protective skeletons thatgrow and take on impressive col-ors, thanks to a symbiotic rela-tionship with algae that live intheir tissues and provide themwith energy.But corals are sensitive to
temperature fluctuations, andare suffering from rising oceantemperatures and acidification,as well as from overfishing, pol-lution, coastal development andagricultural runoff.A temperature change of just
1 to 2 degrees Celsius (1.8 to 3.6degrees Fahrenheit) can forcecoral to expel the algae, leavingtheir white skeletons visible in aprocess known as “bleaching.”Bleached coral can recover if
the water cools, but if high tem-peratures persist for months, thecoral will die. Eventually the reefwill degrade, leaving fish withouthabitats and coastlines less pro-tected from storm surges.The first global bleaching
event occurred in 1998, when 16percent of corals died. The prob-lem spiraled dramatically in2015-2016 amid an extended ElNino natural weather phe-nomenon that warmed Pacificwaters near the equator and trig-gered the most widespreadbleaching ever documented. Thisthird global bleaching event, as itis known, continues today even
after El Nino ended.Headlines have focused on
damage to Australia’s famedGreat Barrier Reef, but otherreefs have fared just as badly orworse across the world, fromJapan to Hawaii to Florida.Around the islands of the Mal-
dives, an idyllic Indian Oceantourism destination, some 73percent of surveyed reefs suf-
fered bleaching between Marchand May 2016, according to thecountry’s Marine Research Cen-ter.“This bleaching episode seems
to have impacted the entire Mal-dives, but the severity of bleach-ing varies” between reefs, accord-ing to local conditions, saidNizam Ibrahim, the center’ssenior research officer.

IN A photo provided by the Iditarod Trail Committee, Iditarod musher Katherine Keith arrives at the Husliacheckpoint with 13 dogs in harness Friday morning in Huslia, Alaska. Huslia is the halfway point of the Idi-tarod Trail Sled Dog Race at mile 478 of the 979-mile trail for this year¹s race.

Father, son battle for lead inIditarod race across AlaskaANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP)
— A father and son are battlingfor the lead in Alaska’s IditarodTrail Sled Dog Race.Mitch Seavey, a two-time Idi-
tarod champion, was the firstmusher out of the checkpoint inthe village of Kaltag on Sunday,leaving at 4:40 a.m. His son, cur-rent champ Dallas Seavey,departed five minutes later.Dallas Seavey has won four of
the past five races. He is a thirdgeneration musher who grew uphelping his dad train his racingteams, according to the Iditarod’swebsite.The father and son are close
but competitive. Mitch Seaveyfinished in second place behindDallas the past two years.This year’s race across nearly
1,000 miles of grueling Alaskawilderness started March 6 inFairbanks. The winner is expect-ed early this week in the town ofNome, along Alaska’s frozenBering Sea coast.Last week, two dogs from two
separate Alaska teams died.A necropsy on an injured dog
that died Friday while beingflown to Alaska’s largest cityindicated the animal overheated,race officials said.
The 2-year-old male dog onmusher Scott Smith’s team diedwhile in transit to Anchoragefrom the Galena checkpoint.Smith dropped the dog, namedSmoke, from the team Tuesdaybecause of a wrist injury.The necropsy findings were
consistent with hyperthermia,but further testing will be con-ducted, race marshal Mark Nord-man said.“We hadn’t anticipated that
dogs could overheat while intransport at altitude and in win-ter conditions,” he said in a newsrelease Sunday. “Unfortunately,we’ve now learned that theycan.”Organizers are making
changes to prevent similar prob-lems by avoiding dressing dogs incoats during flight and providing“cool cabin temperatures andincreased ventilation,” Nordmansaid.The other dog, from musher
Seth Barnes’ team, died unex-pectedly late Thursday nearGalena. A necropsy on the 2-year-old male, Deacon, foundabnormalities but not the causeof death, race officials said Sun-day. Additional tests were under-way.
Mushers begin the Iditarodwith teams of 12 to 16 dogs andmust finish with at least five onthe towline.Animal advocates maintain
the event can be deadly for dogs,and the animals are forced to runin treacherous conditions. PETAsays nearly 30 dogs have died inthe race since 2004, and it hascalled for a permanent end to thecompetition.Mushers and race supporters,
meanwhile, say the Iditarod cele-brates world-class canine ath-letes that have been conditionedfor the long trek through dietand training after decades ofresearch and advancements inanimal care.On Sunday, the third com-
petitor out of Kaltag was veter-an musher Wade Marrs of Alas-ka, who left at 5:28 a.m. Nextwas Nicolas Petit, a native ofFrance who lives just south ofAnchorage. Petit departed at6:35 a.m.Rounding out the top five was
Joar Leifseth Ulsom of Norway,who left Kaltag at 6:50 a.m.The Kaltag checkpoint offers a
brief respite before the trailheads overland to the wind-whipped coast of Norton Sound.

ACLU launches nationwide training on protest, resistanceCORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) —
The American Civil LibertiesUnion staged a nationwide train-ing event Saturday to make surepeople are aware of their rightsas protesters and urge organized,public resistance by thoseopposed to policies of PresidentDonald Trump.Organizers said the event at a
sports arena on the University ofMiami campus was livestreamedto locations in all 50 states.ACLU Executive Director Antho-ny Romero said 200,000 peoplehad signed up to attend one of anestimated 2,000 local events.The event, staged in town hall
style, was aimed at capitalizingon numerous demonstrationssince Trump’s election in Novem-ber and to make sure peopleknow their rights to protest,Romero said. He said priorityissues are immigration, the FirstAmendment free speech and reli-gious freedom rights, civil andreproductive rights and rights ofgay, lesbian and transgender
people.“We will bring all the lawsuits
necessary to defend theserights,” Romero said. “We’ll dothe work in the courts. You dothe work in the streets. Peopleare motivated. They want to beengaged.”The ACLU also launched a
new grassroots online organizingplatform calledPeoplePower.org. It’s billed as away for people considering alocal protest or rally to connectand coordinate with othersaround the country with similarintentions, and to provide detailsof ACLU initiatives.Another plan is creation of
“freedom cities” around the coun-try that would encourage localofficials to pass laws resistingTrump policies such as stepped-up deportations of people livingin the country illegally, said FaizShakir, ACLU national politicaldirector.Other parts of Saturday’s
event detailed the rules for
demonstrations on streets, side-walks and in public parks, andthe rights people have whenarrested such as the right toremain silent. ACLU attorneyLee Rowland said large demon-strations generally require alocal permit, but governmentcan’t typically shut downprotesters in public places with-out good reason.“The government can’t censor
you just because it disagreeswith your opinion,” Rowlandsaid.Also speaking at the event
was Padma Lakshmi, an Indian-born cookbook author, actress,model and television host. Shesaid she emigrated to the U.S. atage four and said the nationappears to be retreating from itswelcoming ways.“Lately I’ve started to feel
like an outsider,” she said.“What makes America great isour culture of inclusion. Wemust not tolerate the intoler-ance.”

Panthers to face Rockets on big stageBy BRYCE DEROUIN
Daily Mining Gazette (Houghton)
NEGAUNEE — It’s time for Ewen-TroutCreek’s Jake Witt to be introduced to the restof the U.P. Witt — the 6-foot-7 junior center who was
named the Copper Mountain ConferencePlayer of the Year — and his teammates willplay in front of the biggest crowd in theircareers tonight at 6 p.m. EDT when the E-TCPanthers take on the Rapid River Rockets ina Class D Region 32 semifinal at LakeviewMemorial Gymnasium in Negaunee. The North Central Jets (23-0) face the Dol-
lar Bay Blue Bolts (19-4) at 8 p.m. in the othersemifinal.Witt averaged 24.2 points, 17 rebounds
and 5.1 blocks per game while shooting 60percent overall and 52 percent from 3 on theseason, and he’s coming off a performancewhere he recorded 32 points, 18 rebounds andsix blocks in the 62-60 district final win overthe Bessemer Speedboys on Friday. For an area rich in basketball tradition,
many of the locals from the Negaunee andPowers area figure to be going to catch aglimpse of the best player from the westernend of the U.P.“I think there will be a lot of high school
basketball fans that will be heading therethat night to get a look at Jake without hav-ing to travel across the U.P. to see him,” E-TChead coach Brad Besonen said. “I think thepeople who haven’t seen him, I think if he canplay how he’s been playing, there will be a lotof ‘Wows’ in the audience because he’s provedto be something special this year.”
The numbers speak for themselves, butWitt’s combination of athleticism, strengthand size are typically unmatched againstwhoever E-TC (13-8) is facing. Rapid Riverhead coach Rich Poma saw firsthand Witt’sexplosiveness when he went to Republic towatch the district final between E-TC andBessemer. “That kid is a monster,” Poma said. “For
his size and everything, I was surprised to seehis coordination and skillset. He can shootand put it on the floor.“He’s very strong, but what impressed me
the most was his stature. When things weregoing wrong or right, he was just stoic. Noth-ing rattled the kid. Pretty crazy to see a juniorshow no emotion or not let anything get tohim.”Rapid River has a talented big of its own in
6-foot-4 junior Logan Hardwick, who was aconsensus Skyline Central Conference FirstTeam selection. Hardwick averaged 16 pointsand 14 rebounds for the Rockets (10-12) andhad an impressive showing of his own in histeam’s 60-50 district final victory over theMid Peninsula Wolverines, scoring 27 points. “He’s been steady,” Poma said. “He’s our
points and rebounds leader. Not every nighthe’s leading scorer, but he’s just steady allyear for us. “He’s been our constant that we can always
rely on. Not just for points, but doing the lit-tle things like the dirty work and keeping ourteam focused. He draws so much attentionfrom the other guys to have opportunities andmake plays around him.”Despite their 10-12 record, Poma believes
his team has been trending in the right direc-tion, and the results support that: RapidRiver is 7-3 in its last 10 games. “Luckily, we came out of that district
alive,” Poma said. “I thought we were a littlebit above the rest of the teams, but you neverknow with the crosstown rival thing with MidPen. “We’re excited. It’s been a long season. The
kids kind of got burnt out at the end of theseason, so the first district win since 2004 gotthem pumped up. I think we’re going to enjoyplaying in Negaunee and playing in thatgreat atmosphere.”E-TC is another team who has played bet-
ter as of late, winning five of six with the onlyloss being a 74-48 beatdown to Bessemer inthe regular season finale. But the Panthersare a confident group after avenging that ear-lier defeat and capturing their first districttitle since 2012. And for Besonen, this trip toNegaunee means a little bit more than hisother regional berths. “This has felt really sweet,” he said. “The
other (regionals), we were considered thefavorites to go but it didn’t have that samesense of satisfaction this one did. Especiallyafter beating Bessemer after getting torchedby them eight days earlier. “For them to be in the regional tournament
right now, especially guys outside our BigThree (Witt, Austin Berglund and Eli Nor-dine) and our youth that we have, it can be adangling carrot for them in the offseasonworkouts, knowing what we have comingback. It’s a big year for us to get to thatregional.”
DETROIT (AP) — T.J. Lang is switch-ing sides in an NFC North rivalry — andreturning to his roots.The Detroit Lions agreed to a three-year
deal with Lang, another significant moveto bolster their offensive line in a busy off-season so far. Mike McCartney, Lang's agent, tweeted
news of the contract Sunday. The Lionslater confirmed that they had signed thefree-agent guard, and made him availableto reporters on a conference call."I've been away for so many years. This
is where I grew up. I understand how fansaround here are so hungry to have a cham-pionship football team. I was one of themwhen I was a kid," Lang said. "When thisopportunity came about, I got really excit-ed about it."Lang, a native of the Detroit area,
played college football at Eastern Michi-gan, but he's spent his entire pro careerwith the Green Bay Packers since beingdrafted by them in the fourth round in2009. Lang started 13 games last season for
the Packers, but now he'll return to hishome state.The Lions and Packers played for the
division title in the final game of the regu-lar season last season, with Green Baywinning on the road. Detroit made theplayoffs as a wild card."It was the best move for my family and
I, combined with my thoughts as just howready Detroit was to win," Lang said.Detroit also signed tackle Rick Wagner
in recent days and could have an upgradedoffensive line next season even after thedepartures of Riley Reiff and Larry War-ford.Lang recalled having Scott Mitchell and
Charlie Batch jerseys growing up — and ofcourse, watching one of football's greatestrunning backs."I think the first thing that sticks out is
just the memories of watching BarrySanders play, watching him run the ball,"Lang said. "Watching Herman Moore catchthose passes."

Blue Bolts massiveunderdogs to North Central
By BRYCE DEROUINDaily Mining Gazette (Houghton)
NEGAUNEE — The DollarBay Blue Bolts understand thereality of the situation. They understand that describ-
ing them as “massive underdogs”may actually be an understate-ment. They understand they’refacing a team who some oldtimersconsider “the best they’ve everseen.” And they understand theymight be the only ones who believethey can pull off what might notonly be the biggest upset in thestate, but even the country. They’re perfectly fine with all of
that. Tonight at 8 p.m. at Lakeview
Memorial Gymnasium inNegaunee, the Blue Bolts (19-4)will face the North Central Jets(23-0) — the two-time defendingClass D state champions and own-ers of the nation’s longest currentwinning streak (78 games) — in aClass D Region 24 semifinal.“Our guys are confident and
they believe in themselves andtheir abilities,” Dollar Bay headcoach Jesse Kentala said. “Theybelieve they belong on that court,so they’re not going to come outintimidated or scared. They’regoing to ratchet up the intensityand we’re going to grind and seewhat happens.”One thing Dollar Bay has going
for themselves is its dynamic back-court of juniors Devin Schmitz(21.6 points per game) and JadenJanke (18.7). Both payers haveeclipsed the 30-point mark in agame this season. However, usual-ly, when one goes off, the other hasa so-so scoring game typically inthe teens. Kentala is waiting forboth of his guards to go off on thesame night, and if the Blue Boltswant to stay with the No. 1 teamin the state, both will likely haveto score in bunches.“They’re definitely capable scor-
ers,” North Central head coachAdam Mercier said of Janke andSchmitz. “When you look at theirtop scorers, they can both fill it upbehind the 3-point line, and theyboth can create their own shots.Our defensive gameplan has tostart with stopping those two.”As great as Schmitz and Janke
have been this year, North Centralfeatures two of the top — if not thetop — players in the U.P. inseniors Jason Whitens and Daw-son Bilski. Whitens is currentlyundecided on where he will contin-ue his athletic career at the colle-giate level, while Bilski hasalready signed on to play basket-ball at Michigan Tech University. Whitens and Bilski were Co-
Players of the Year in the SkylineCentral Conference and have beenintegral parts in North Central’stwo state title runs.
“Obviously Whitens is a greatplayer. He’s almost bigger thaneverybody we’ve played this year,”Janke said of the 6-foot-5 Whitens.“He also can stroke the ball betterthan anyone I’ve ever seen. So youput his size, ability to shoot andhis speed together… Plus, Bilskion his side, it’s scary matchups.”The good news for Dollar Bay is
the ever-improving health ofDevin Schmitz’s ankle — an injuryhe suffered on March 8 in a 54-51district semifinal win over the Jef-fers Jets. In Dollar Bay’s 57-45 vic-tory over the Chassell Panthers onFriday, Schmitz estimated hishealth was only at 75 percent.Now, he’s feeling much better afterconsistently applying ice to theankle while keeping it elevated.“I’m good, ready to go,” Schmitz
said. “I’m pretty much 100 per-cent. I had a whole day to heal itand now it’s like 90-95 percent.”Besides a 70-59 win over the
Menominee Maroons on the roadon Dec. 19, all of North Central’sgames have been blowouts. Thenext closest contest came on Fri-day, when the Jets defeated theBark River-Harris Broncos (15-6)79-60. Coincidentally, BR-H is one of
the teams that reminds Mercier ofDollar Bay.“Style-wise, they’re similar to
Bark River. Shooting-wise, they’resimilar to (Carney-Nadeau),”Mercier said. “When (Dollar Bay)plays well, they hit outside shots.Look at the games they’ve won andthey’ve hit nine or 10 3s in thosegames. “I think it’s a testament to our
conference to compare teams thatwe’re going to play in the tourna-ment to teams we play in-confer-ence. That’s how good our confer-ence has been in the last five or sixyears.”North Central’s bigger, faster,
stronger and with an abundance ofexperience in big games — some-thing Dollar Bay lacks. At best forDollar Bay, they shock the U.P.Worst-case scenario, this team pri-marily made of juniors gains valu-able experience while playing infront of a packed gym on one of thebiggest stages. They’re just goingto take it all in stride. “At this point, the goals we set
at the beginning of the seasonhave been met,” Kentala said.“Now we’re just going to havesome fun. To play a team of thiscaliber is fun and that’s how youhave to approach it. Go out, playhard and do what we do.“We want the kids to get region-
al experience, and to get outsidethe Copper Country and see howthese teams play in the centraland eastern U.P. “We’re excited for that opportu-
nity.”

day to win their first Big Ten Tournament champi-onship, the eighth-seeded Wolverines held high thehardware that accompanied the feat.Before helping cut down the net, Michigan coach
John Beilein gathered his players to deliver anemotional message."What I told them is, 'You're going to come back
20 years from now and that trophy is going to sitthere and you're going to tell your grandkids aboutthose five days and what happened. You'll love itforever.'"The Wolverines began their journey with a scary
skid off the airport runway in Michigan. Theyended it by overwhelming the second-seeded Bad-gers, who had won three straight — including theregular season finale against Minnesota — by atotal of 55 points.Between the aborted flight and their final unex-
pected victory, Michigan beat Illinois, eliminatedtop-seed Purdue and sent home No. 4 seed Min-nesota."It means so much to all of us," senior guard Zak
Irvin said. "All of the adversity that we've been tothroughout the whole tournament, we stucktogether as a family and got the job done."And so, the first Big Ten Tournament in the
nation's capital ended with a surprise championcutting down the nets at Verizon Center. Michiganwon the title in 1998 but had it vacated due toNCAA sanctions.Tournament MVP Derrick Walton Jr. scored 22
points, D.J. Wilson added 17 and Irvin had 15 forMichigan, which had lost 17 of its previous 20games against Wisconsin. The Wolverines shot 56percent and were 10 for 23 from beyond the arc.As a reward, Michigan will be the No. 7 seed in
the Midwest and open the NCAA Tournamentagainst Oklahoma State."We overcame a lot," Walton said. "Had a lot of
trials and tribulations. All I can say is God is good.We're here for a reason."Bronson Koenig scored 15 points, and Nigel
Hayes and Ethan Happ had 14 apiece for the Bad-gers (25-9), who shot 39 percent from the field andscored only 24 points after halftime.The Badgers looked so good during their win-
ning streak and so ordinary in this one.
"We were playing really well for the past threegames or so," Koenig said. "We just kind of wentaway from what was working a little bit."Wisconsin will enter the NCAA Tournament as
a No. 8 seed in the East Region and will first faceVirginia Tech.The Wolverines took control at the outset of the
second half, holding Wisconsin without a field goalfor the 8 minutes to turn a 33-32 halftime lead intoa 44-34 advantage. The Badgers went 0 for 8 fromthe field and committed four turnovers during thepivotal span."We (got) two points on our first 10 possessions
of the second half," coach Greg Gard said. "You'regoing to have a hard time against anybody whenyou're having that type of struggles offensively."After the Badgers threatened to make a game of
it, Michigan had an answer.It was 51-45 before Irvin and Duncan Robinson
sandwiched 3-pointers around a basket by Hayesfor a 10-point cushion with 3:51 left.Not long after that, the thousands of Michigan
fans in the large crowd began the countdown to thefinal buzzer.
BIG PICTUREMichigan: The Wolverines enjoyed a memorable
run in the tournament on the heels of a somewhatdisappointing regular season in which they went10-8 in the league, including losses to Illinois andOhio State.Wisconsin: The Badgers thought they had recov-
ered from a stretch of five losses in six games, butthis dud of a performance might change that per-spective and force them to make adjustmentsbefore heading into the NCAA Tournament.
SO LONG, WASHINGTONThe first Big Ten Tournament in the nation's
capital ended with a large crowd cheering for twoteams with absolutely no local ties except for alum-ni in the transient Washington area.Even if total attendance this week wasn't over-
whelming, the shift to the East Coast validated theBig Ten's desire to branch out from the Midwest.Next year, the tournament will be held in New
York at Madison Square Garden.UP NEXT
Michigan: The rigors of the NCAA Tournamentshould be a breeze for Wolverines after theyshowed their mettle by playing — and winning —four games in four days.Wisconsin: The Badgers make their 19th consec-
utive appearance in the NCAA Tournament.
the elements to come out," Min-nesota coach Adrian Healthsaid. "I thought their supportwas incredible, and it's just apity that we couldn't give themany type of performance thatwarrantied the support that wegot."Kevin Molino scored the only
goal for Minnesota, which lost 5-1 at Portland last week and hasbecome the first MLS team toallow five-plus goals in consecu-tive games.Atlanta, which joined MLS
this season with Minnesota forthe league's 21st and 22 teams,was coming off a 2-1 loss at hometo the New York Red Bulls in itsopener last week.In other MLS matches Sun-
day, David Villa scored two goalsin New York City's 4-0 win overD.C. United and Diego Chara
scored in the eighth minute tohelp Portland hold off under-manned Los Angeles 2-1 to winfor the first time away fromhome since beating the Galaxyon Oct. 8, 2015.The Minnesota-Atlanta was
the ninth game in league historyplayed in snow, but only the sec-ond time the special orange ballwas used for better visibility.The action was stopped severaltimes so the grounds crew couldclear end lines and goal lineswith leaf blowers.

Dear Annie: After a series of,let’s just say, not-so-nice rela-tionships, my best friend and oldcollege roomie set me up with agirl from his hometown named“Stephanie.” I’ve never believedin love at first sight, but this waspretty close. We hit it off andhave a ton in common. A yearand a half later and we’reengaged. I’m excited to makeStephanie my wife.We decided to go to a pre-mar-
riage retreat through our church.During the retreat, the leadersask you all sorts of questionsabout your plans for the future.We were compatible on all themajor answers — except for one.
“How many children would youlike to have?”I wrote that one or two would
be nice; she wrote five! When wewent back into our room to dis-cuss, she explained how shecame from a small family andalways dreamed of having a big-ger family. Well, I came from alarge family and never felt that Igot enough attention, so I havealways wanted to have just onechild — two at the most. Is thisproblem a deal breaker for ourrelationship? — ApprehensiveDear Apprehensive: Only
you can determine what yourown personal deal breakers are,as they’re different for everyone.But if you’re at all willing to con-sider having more children, per-haps you and Stephanie couldmeet right in the middle and set-tle on having three. And if youcan diplomatically reach such animportant agreement, you andStephanie have the stuff of astrong partnership. Compromiseand marriage go together like ahorse and carriage — and that’sa good thing. Two hearts andminds working together are bet-ter than one.Dear Annie: I’m writing in
response to the letter from “Feel-ing So Bad,” who wrote about thedeath of her friend “Marie.” Shewas angry that Marie’s husband,“Bill,” didn’t provide updatesabout Marie’s health or informneighbors of her death.I am sorry that “Feeling So
Bad” lost her friend, but from herletter, it appears that her onlycontact with Marie or Bill was byphone. I guess she never tookover a casserole that Bill couldhave heated up for dinner. Iguess she never stopped by and
offered to stay with Marie so thatBill could get out of the house torun errands, take a walk, go to amovie — anything to give himsome relief from the constantand often overwhelming needs ofhis wife. Do you know that thestress of being a caretaker oftenresults in the death of the care-taker before the patient? (Billapparently was able to survivehis wife, but only by a year.) Ifeel sorry that “Feeling So Bad”was upset not to get a notice. Iexpect that Bill, as I did after myhusband died of Alzheimer’s dis-ease, slept for 24 hours. Whenmy husband died, I didn’t careabout getting out “notices” to so-called friends. I did call those Iknew cared.Sorry, but I’m not sympathet-
ic. Instead of feeling bad, “Feel-ing So Bad” should feel guiltythat she ignored the needs of herfriend and hope that next time,she will find time to actually visitand provide assistance. — Voic-ing a Sad ExperienceDear Voicing: I’m sorry for
the loss of your husband. Andyour letter is a good reminderthat it’s important to reach out tofriends and family who are griev-ing, even if we feel awkward orunsure of what to say. However,it seems you’re still holding on toa lot of anger toward people whoweren’t there for you. For yourown sake, I would encourage youto try to forgive them. Let go ofthat anger so you’re free to morefully embrace life.Send your questions for

A lower leap for the messageBy Phillip Alder
Pamela Ribon, a writer who runs the website pamie.com, said, “When you live in Texas, every single time you see snow it’s magical.”
Every time you have a big fit with partner and see a single card of one suit in your hand, it’s potentially magical. That is the time for a splinter bid. This is typically a double jump shift, but when a low-level bid in a suit would be natural and game-forcing, a single jump can be a splinter.
In today’s deal, what should North rebid after his partner opens two clubs (strong, artificial and forcing) and rebids two spades?
North has a super hand in the circumstances. He can give partner the good news by rebidding four clubs. Now South knows that he has no club losers because he can ruff the three and queen in the dummy. Does North also have the diamond ace? South should control-bid four hearts, showing a first-round control in that suit and denying one in diamonds. Then North should control-bid f ive diamonds, and South should leap to seven spades. Real bridge players don’t need Blackwood!
After West leads the heart king, how should South plan the play?
Declarer must ruff his two club losers in the dummy, but he must be careful to return to hand a safe way with either trumps or by ruffing hearts, not via the diamond suit, which carries the unnecessary risk that one opponent is void in the suit. After ruffing West’s lead, South cashes the spade ace and club ace, ruffs a club, overtakes the spade 10, trumps the club queen, ruffs a heart high, draws trumps and claims.

NIACIN HAS PROVEN EFFECTIVE IN LOWERING CHOLESTEROL
bbyy RRoobbeerrtt AAsshhlleeyy,, MM..DD..,, EEvvee GGllaazziieerr,, MM..DD.. && EElliizzaabbeetthh KKoo,, MM..DD..
Dear Doctor: I've been taking niacin foryears to lower my cholesterol. Do youthink it really helps?Dear Reader: First, let's look at niacinand its role in the body. Niacin is a B vita-min needed to create compounds crucialto cellular function. A shortage of niacin,or vitamin B3, can lead to diarrhea, nau-sea, vomiting, rash and, when severe,neurologic conditions that manifest asconfusion and dementia. Fortunately, be-cause of our varied and plentiful diet, notto mention food supplementation, niacindeficiency is rare in this country. Some research does support niacin'sability to improve cholesterol levels. In1955, in one of the earliest studies ofniacin, researchers found that doses of1,000 to 3,000 milligrams significantlylowered total cholesterol levels in men.Niacin has also been found to lower lev-els of LDL, the so-called "bad" choles-terol, while raising levels of HDL, theso-called "good" cholesterol. Niacin has an impact in other ways aswell. A 2007 study of 30 patients whotook 1,000 milligrams daily showed a re-duction in the thickness of their carotid ar-teries' interior lining and lower levels ofCRP (C-reactive protein, a marker of in-flammation) when compared to a
placebo. Further, a 2009 study of aniacin-plus-statin regimen showed that itled to a reduction in a marker for athero-sclerosis in the heart.Such research suggests that niacin coulddecrease the risk of heart attacks andstrokes. The science, however, is lessthan conclusive.A 1986 study followed 1,189 men whohad a history of heart attack and com-pared those who took niacin at 3,000 mil-ligrams per day to those who got aplacebo. After five years, the niacin groupreported fewer heart attacks, but no dif-ference in the death rate. After 15 years,however, the niacin group reported an 11percent decrease in mortality rates,mostly from a decrease in heart disease.Studies of niacin in addition to a statinhave not shown benefit against eitherdeath rates or heart attacks. A 2011 studyin the New England Journal of Medicineassessed the impact of 1,500 milligramsof niacin in addition to the drug simvas-tatin in those with cardiovascular disease.After three years, the authors found noimpact on mortality. A 2014 study in theNew England Journal of Medicineechoed these findings, with no benefitafter 3.9 years of statin-plus-niacin treat-ment.
It may be that niacin, when taken with astatin, provides no additional bang for thebuck. The significant decrease in heartattacks and strokes seen with statin ther-apy may overwhelm any potential benefitof niacin. Further, as the 1986 studyshowed, the benefit of niacin may take upto 15 years to show benefit; the trials ofstatin-plus-niacin were only for three tofour years. Overall, niacin does seem to have bene-ficial effects on cholesterol and on reduc-ing atherosclerosis, or hardening of thearteries. However, it's not as powerful asa statin in decreasing rates of heart at-tacks, and the benefit might not becomeevident for years.If you cannot tolerate a statin, niacin maybe a good option. But discuss it with yourdoctor. (Robert Ashley, M.D., is an internist andassistant professor of medicine at theUniversity of California, Los Angeles.)

POLICE OFFICERS secure the perimeter at the scene of a garbage landslide, as excavators aid rescue efforts,on the outskirts of the capital Addis Ababa, Ethiopia Sunday. Officials and residents say more than a dozenpeople have been killed in a landslide at a massive garbage dump on the outskirts of Ethiopia’s capital, andseveral dozen people are missing.
46 killed, dozens missing inEthiopia garbage dump landslideADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP)
— A mountain of trash gave wayin a massive garbage dump onthe outskirts of Ethiopia’s capi-tal, killing at least 46 people andleaving several dozen missing,residents said, as officials vowedto relocate those who called thelandfill home.
Addis Ababa city spokeswom-an Dagmawit Moges said most ofthe 46 dead were women andchildren, and more bodies wereexpected to be found in the com-ing hours.
It was not immediately clearwhat caused Saturday night’scollapse at the Koshe GarbageLandfill, which buried severalmakeshift homes and concretebuildings. The landfill has been adumping ground for the capital’sgarbage for more than 50 years.
About 150 people were therewhen the landslide occurred, res-ident Assefa Teklemahimanottold The Associated Press. AddisAbaba Mayor Diriba Kuma said37 people had been rescued andwere receiving medical treat-ment. Dagmawit said two hadserious injuries.
Many people at the landfillhad been scavenging items tomake a living, but others live
there because renting homes,largely built of mud and sticks, isrelatively inexpensive.
An AP reporter saw four bod-ies taken away by ambulancesafter being pulled from thedebris. Elderly women cried, andothers stood anxiously waitingfor news of loved ones. Six exca-vators dug through the ruins.
“My house was right insidethere,” said a shaken TebejuAsres, pointing to where one ofthe excavators was digging indeep, black mud. “My motherand three of my sisters werethere when the landslide hap-pened. Now I don’t know the fateof all of them.”
The resumption of garbagedumping at the site in recentmonths likely caused the land-slide, Assefa said. The dumpinghad stopped in recent years, butit resumed after farmers in anearby restive region where anew garbage landfill complexwas being built blocked dumpingin their area.
Smaller collapses haveoccurred at Koshe — or “dirty” inthe local Amharic language — inthe past two years but only twoor three people were killed, Asse-fa said.
“In the long run, we will con-duct a resettling program to relo-cate people who live in andaround the landfill,” the AddisAbaba mayor said.
Around 500 waste-pickers arebelieved to work at the landfillevery day, sorting through thedebris from the capital’s estimat-ed 4 million residents. City offi-cials say close to 300,000 tons ofwaste are collected each yearfrom the capital, most of itdumped at the landfill.
Since 2010, city officials havewarned that the landfill was run-ning out of room and was beingclosed in by nearby housing andschools.
City officials in recent yearshave been trying to turn thegarbage into a source of cleanenergy with a $120 million invest-ment. The Koshe waste-to-energyfacility, which has been underconstruction since 2013, is expect-ed to generate 50 megawatts ofelectricity upon completion.
Ethiopia, which has one ofAfrica’s fastest growingeconomies, is under a state ofemergency imposed in Octoberafter several months of some-times deadly protests demandingwider political freedoms.
BEIRUT (AP) — At least 652children were killed in Syria in2016, making it the worst yearyet for the country’s rising gener-ation, the United Nations’ childrelief agency said Monday.
There was no letup to attackson schools, hospitals, play-grounds, parks and homes lastyear as the Syrian government,its opponents and the allies ofboth sides showed callous disre-gard for the laws of war.
UNICEF said at least 255children were killed in or nearschools last year and 1.7 millionyoungsters are out of school. Oneof every three schools in Syria isunusable, some because armedgroups occupy them. An addi-tional 2.3 million Syrian childrenare refugees elsewhere in the
Middle East.The figures come in a
UNICEF report released twodays before the sixth anniversaryof the popular uprising that esca-lated into civil war.
Children were among the firstvictims of the government’s brutalcrackdown. On March 15, 2011,residents in the southern city ofDaraa marched to demand therelease of teenage students arrest-ed for writing anti-governmentslogans on their school’s walls.They were tortured in detention.
The report warns that copingmechanisms and medical careare eroding quickly in Syria,driving children into child labor,early marriage and combat.Dozens are dying from pre-ventable diseases.
A report released a week agoby the international charity Savethe Children said Syrian young-sters are showing signs of “toxicstress” that can lead to lifelonghealth problems, struggles withaddiction and mental disorderslasting into adulthood.
The use of child soldiers is onthe rise in Syria, UNICEF said.At least 851 children wererecruited by armed factions lastyear, more than twice comparedto the year before.
Children across the countryare at risk of severe injury whileplaying around landmines andcluster munitions. Deminingoperations in opposition-heldareas have been severely ham-pered by inaccessibility to out-side experts.
UNICEF says 2016 was worst year yet for Syria’s children

Whittling down 68 candi-dates and deciding who will bethe last one standing is atedious task. But enough aboutwhat seemed like a never-end-ing presidential election cycle.Take a break, America.It's Bracket Time again.The field for this year's
NCAA Tournament wasrevealed on Sunday night, andby the time the games start inearnest on Thursday millions ofpeople will fill out tens of mil-lions of brackets in an effort topick the national champion.There's no Electoral College toselect, no "deep state" either,not even Syracuse. And mosthopes will be dashed before theend of the first weekend.Let us help.The painstaking facts and
exacting analysis offered belowwill help you win your pool ,unless you have a better systemto use, such as blind luck, teamcolors or neat nicknames. Inthis field alone, there's theNorse (Northern Kentucky),Jackrabbits (South DakotaState), two sets of Gaels (Ionaand Saint Mary's), and hawksof all sorts (the Jayhawks ofKansas, the Fighting Hawks ofNorth Dakota and the Sea-hawks of UNC Wilmington).Region-by-region, here's a
breakdown of what will happenover the next three weeks —and most importantly, how youcan cut down your own nets byholding best-bracket-bragging-rights in your office for the nextyear.
___First, a few trends that are
worth noting.DUMP THE DOUBLE DIG-
ITS: No one since Kansas in
1988 lost more than 10 gamesand still cut the nets down.There are 26 teams in this fieldwith at least 10 losses; at leastfour will make the secondround this year, but historysays it's difficult for those clubsto last too long.TOUGH BREAK: Gonzaga
enters this tournament withthe best record in the field, 32-1. Sorry, Zags — None of thelast 24 teams to come into theNCAAs either undefeated orwith just one loss won it all.EXPERIENCE MATTERS:
Of the last 22 players to winMost Outstanding Player hon-ors at the Final Four, 18 ofthem were juniors or seniors.So even in this one-and-doneera, having some veterans whohave gone through the tourna-ment grind once or twice seemsto be invaluable to champi-onship hopes.DON'T TAKE FIVE: If you
like a No. 5 seed — NotreDame, Virginia, Iowa State orMinnesota — to win it all, stop.Since the tournament was firstexpanded to 40 teams in 1979,no No. 5 seed has ever cut downthe nets.PICK SOME UPSETS: All
four No. 1 seeds made the FinalFour only once, in 2008. In thelast six years, six teams seededNo. 7 or higher made FinalFours.BUT NOT TOO MANY: No
team seeded No. 12 or higherhas made a Final Four.AND NOT TOO EARLY:
Since 1979, 130 of the 152 pos-sible No. 1 seeds all made theSweet Sixteen.
___BRACKET BREAKDOWN
EASTVillanova is the No. 1 overall
seed and the defending national
champion. It's tough to repeat— no one has since Florida in2006 and 2007 — and if theWildcats are going to buck thattrend they'll likely have to beatthe Gators along the way.First-round winners: Vil-
lanova, Wisconsin, UNC Wilm-ington, Florida, USC, Baylor,Marquette and Duke.Second round: Villanova over
Wisconsin, Florida over UNCWilmington, Baylor over USCand the teacher beats the stu-dent, Duke and Mike Krzyzews-ki oust Marquette and SteveWojciechowski.Semifinals: Villanova over
Florida, Duke over Baylor.Final: Villanova over Duke.
MIDWESTKansas got no favors from
the selection committee here.But the Jayhawks almost seemas though they've been under-valued all season, maybebecause winning the Big 12 reg-ular season has become anannual rite in Lawrence.First-round winners:
Kansas, Miami, Iowa State,Vermont, Creighton, Oregon,Michigan, Louisville.Second round: Kansas over
Miami, Vermont over IowaState, Oregon over Creighton,Michigan over Louisville.Semifinals: Kansas over Ver-
mont, Michigan over Oregon.Final: Kansas over Michi-
gan.SOUTH
The marquee region, withoutquestion. North Carolina, Ken-tucky and UCLA are seeded 1-2-3 here. They're also 1-2-3 inall-time Final Four appear-ances: North Carolina has 19,Kentucky 17 and UCLA also 17(because the 1980 appearancewas later vacated).First-round winners: North
Carolina, Arkansas, MiddleTennessee, Butler, Cincinnati,UCLA, Wichita State and Ken-tucky (though don't be sur-prised if the Wildcats strugglewith Northern Kentucky).Second round: North Caroli-
na over Arkansas, Butler overMiddle Tennessee, UCLA overCincinnati, Kentucky overWichita State.Semifinals: North Carolina
over Butler, UCLA over Ken-tucky.Final: North Carolina over
UCLA.WEST
And here's the wild region. Ifchaos strikes one corner of yourbracket, it will be this one.First-round winners: Gonza-
ga, Northwestern, Princeton,West Virginia, Maryland, Flori-da Gulf Coast, VCU, Arizona.Second round: Northwestern
over Gonzaga, West Virginiaover Princeton, Maryland overFlorida Gulf Coast, Arizonaover VCU.Semifinals: West Virginia
over Northwestern, Arizonaover Maryland.Final: Arizona over West
Virginia.___
FINAL FOURSo that leaves us with three
No. 1 seeds — Villanova, NorthCarolina, Kansas — and a No. 2seed in Arizona.Villanova over Arizona in the
all-Wildcats semifinal. NorthCarolina over Kansas in the all-Roy Williams other semifinal.For the first time since 1961
and 1962, that means a title-game rematch awaits. Villano-va vs. North Carolina, onceagain.Repeat?Nope. This time, North Car-
olina wins it all.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) —Northwestern's agonizing waitwent down to the last quadrantSunday.Then, finally, everyone jumped
for joy.All those forgettable moments
and tantalizing teases over theprevious 77 seasons were castaside as the Wildcats celebratedtheir first NCAA Tournament bid.By earning the No. 8 seed in theWest Region, Northwestern willface ninth-seeded Vanderbilt onThursday in Salt Lake City.Around campus and on Twit-
ter, game details really didn't mat-ter.What did: Northwestern ceded
the title of having the longest tour-ney drought among power-fiveconference schools to Rutgers bybecoming one of five first-timeentrants in the 68-team field.The immediate reaction inside
Welsh-Ryan Arena included fistspumping, fans cheering and bandmembers spilling onto the court.Outside the arena, the celebrationincluded Twitter posts fromnotable alums including actressJulia Louis-Dreyfus ."To see all of this, it gets you
emotional because these are thethings we all dreamed of," coachChris Collins said. "To see theguys very emotional before wecame out, this has meant a lot tothem and it's something we put alot into, and just a really specialday. You don't get many chancesin life in anything to be a part ofsomething historical, things thathave never ever been done."Before Collins arrived in 2013-
14, moments like this one seemedas implausible as the ChicagoCubs winning the World Series.Now, in a five-month span,
both droughts are over thankslargely to men who insisted play-ers believe.In Collins' case, he instilled
such a strong sense of purposethat his players already were don-ning T-shirts that read "North-western" on one line and "Marchinto April" on the other."I'm used to being part of all the
'firsts' here. I was Coach Collins'first recruit," sophomore forwardVic Law said. "That belief that weall had — that vision that me andCoach Collins shared — was thatthis would be different."Last year, 20 wins were not
good enough. This year, the Wild-cats (23-11) refused to be kept out.They broke the school record forwins and reached the Big TenTournament semifinals for thefirst time.While some can empathize
with the Wildcats' patience, it'shard to understand for otherschools.Northern Kentucky won the
Horizon League championshipand the league's automatic bid inits first year of eligibility.The one-time Division II power
made the jump to Division I in2011-12, played three seasons inthe Atlantic Sun and shocked thebasketball world by playing itsway into the tourney just one yearafter going 9-21. Now they'll playsecond-seeded Kentucky in Indi-anapolis on Friday."It was incredible to see that,"
sophomore forward Drew McDon-ald said after watching the selec-tion show. "Your heart is pound-ing, but it's a different kind ofpounding during the game. It's adream come true."Jacksonville State (20-14) was-
n't supposed to be here either aftergoing 8-23 last season. The Game-cocks were picked to finish last inthe Ohio Valley Conference thisseason.Somehow, first-year coach Ray
Harper led them to the tourneytitle, a No. 15 seed and a date Fri-day in Indy against second-seededLouisville."It was special," star player
Malcolm Drumwright said, refer-ring to last week's victory celebra-tion. "We were all crying, we wereall excited and it was just a funtime."North Dakota (22-9) might be
best known as a hockey school andfor its hard-fought battle with theNCAA to keep its Indian nick-name. But that reputation couldbe changing after the recentlyrenamed Fighting Hawks stormedback from an 11-point, second-halfdeficit to beat Weber State in over-time for the Big Sky title.Star player Quinton Hooker
recently passed former NBA coachPhil Jackson for fourth on theschool's career scoring list and willlead the No. 15 seed in the WestRegion into a showdown with sec-ond-seeded Arizona on Thursday.

Greensboro getsshot at Boeheim,Syracuse in NIT
openerNEW YORK (AP) — Greensboro
is getting its shot at Jim Boeheim.Four days after the Hall of
Fame coach from Syracuseangered an entire city by sayingthere was "no value" in theAtlantic Coast Conference hold-ing its postseason tournament inGreensboro, North Carolina, theOrange were matched up Sun-day night against UNC Greens-boro in the first round of theNational Invitation Tourna-ment.Among the final few teams
left out of the NCAA Tourna-ment, top-seeded Syracuse (18-14) will host the eighth-seededSpartans (25-9) at the CarrierDome on Tuesday night.Reggie Minton, chair of the
selection committee, said theNIT did not pair up the teams onpurpose and didn't have Boe-heim's comment in mind whenthe bracket was set.California, Iowa and Illinois
State are the other No. 1 seeds inthe 32-team field. Play beginsTuesday night, mostly on cam-pus sites, and concludes with thesemifinals and championshipgame at Madison Square Gardenin late March.
