the front.”Physical donations are
not the only way people can give. Kazmierczak said both Wendy’s and ISOH/IMPACT have started a text-to-donate initiative as a way to expand the opportunities people have to donate. She said anyone interested in the text campaign can use their cell phone and text “giveten isoh” to 20222. For every text mes-sage sent to the number, a $10 donation will be made.
Kazmierczak said the Wendy’s involvement start-
ed when franchise owners made the decision to help and then contacted owners of the other area franchises.
“Becky Williams of Pertoria, Inc., a local Wendy’s fran-chisee with a benevolent heart, has worked with ISOH/IMPACT on other relief efforts in the past,” Kazmierczak said. “Becky contacted the other area Wendy’s franchisees and they accepted her invitation to join in the effort.”
Pertoria, Inc. owns six Wendy’s locations, including the Bowling Green locations. All of them are participating in the collection for Japan.
Lisk said this is not the first
time Wendy’s has worked with ISOH/IMPACT to help victims of tragedies like the one in Japan. She said Wendy’s helped the organi-zation in 2010 after the mas-sive earthquake in Haiti.
“We are always look-ing for opportunities to step up and help those in need,” Lisk said. “It was just another disaster and there-fore another opportunity to mobilize our crew to do something about it.”
While the Wendy’s relief drive will end April 17, Kazmierczak said ISOH/IMPACT will con-tinue to accept donations for this and future disasters at their Perrysburg location.

“I definitely think they are really excited about the new backgrounds,” said Haley Johnson, a student worker in the BG1 Card Services office.
Though a number of stu-dents may be pleased with the new cards, not all shared the same view.
“The appearance of the card is a little tacky, but it shows a lot of BG spirit,” said junior Lisa Subtireleo.
Subtireleo said she was not a PNC Bank customer, and the new BG1 Card
feature would not influ-ence her to switch her bank to PNC.
Coffield said on Tuesday that many students and faculty had already shown up to pick up their cards, but there was still quite a large number left. She hoped that by the last pick up day that things would begin to pick up.

STATE BRIEFS BG NEWS WIRE SOURCES
Ohio Senate OKs ban on abortion of viable fetuses
COLUMBUS (AP) — The Ohio Senate has approved a bill that would ban abortions after the 20th week of preg-nancy if a physician determines the fetus would be able to survive outside the womb.
The bill passed the chamber 24-8 and now goes to the Ohio House for review.
The measure has the support of Ohio Right to Life, unlike the so-called “heartbeat” bill that would ban abortions after the first detectable heartbeat, often as early as six weeks.
Both bills are among a num-ber that would place restrictions on abortions in Ohio.
Another requires judges who waive parental consent to collect more definitive evi-dence that minors understand the impacts before having an abortion. Another assures Ohio opts out of coverage for abortion-related services available through the federal health care overhaul.
Historian says Ohio still carries political clout
COLUMBUS — A Pulitzer Prize-winning presidential histo-rian says Ohio still carries politi-cal clout despite its loss of two congressional seats as a result of the last Census.
Author Doris Kearns Goodwin told reporters Wednesday that she believes the traditional swing state would continue to play a pivotal role in the 2012 presidential race.
No Republican has ever won the White House without carrying Ohio.
She said the next GOP presi-dential nominee will have to do three things to win: excite the base, unify the party and appeal to independent voters. She says that won’t be easy given the strong tea party movement.
Goodwin was in Columbus to take part in an event series commemorating the 150th anni-versary of the Ohio Statehouse. She’s the author of “Team of Rivals,” among other works.

Group: college’s policy violates free speech
CINCINNATI — A civil rights group has said a southwest Ohio college violated a student’s right to free speech by barring her from passing out literature on abortion, cancer and birth con-trol on campus.
The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education said Wednesday that it sent a let-ter to the president of Sinclair Community College in Dayton in February asking for a change in the school policy. The group said the college’s counsel replied in a letter last month pointing out a section of school policy banning distribution of literature in classrooms and other working areas of campus.
Sinclair general counsel Lauren Ross said Wednesday that the student distributed the fliers in a classroom.
The civil rights group said the student did not disrupt class and the college’s policy should be changed.

Man pleads in attack on Ohio homeless man
CINCINNATI — An Ohio man has pleaded no contest to feloni-ous assault charges in the beating of a homeless man sleeping under a Cincinnati bridge.
A court official said 25-year-old Michael Hesson, of Hamilton, pleaded Wednesday in a Cincinnati courtroom in John Johnson’s beating last April. A no contest plea is not an admission of guilt, but is handled much like a guilty plea in court.
Three soldiers also were charged in Johnson’s attack. Two, from Fort Bragg, N.C., have cases pending. The third, from Fort Knox, Ky., has pleaded no contest to felonious assault.
Prosecutors said Johnson was hit with a baseball bat and pipe and suffered a facial fracture.
Hesson also pleaded no contest to having a weapon under disability, stemming from his girlfriend’s fatal shooting in January.

Legislature OKs snow day increase for Ohio schools
COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio schools would see a two-day increase in snow days under a bill being sent to Gov. John Kasich (K AY’-sik). He’s expected to sign it .
The state Senate on Wednesday voted 32-1 to strip changes they had made to the legislation. It was a procedural move that allowed the bill to then go to Kasich.
The vote came a day after House Democrats had balked at certain Senate revisions — includ-ing a requirement that school districts provide transportation to students of charter schools during make-up days. That’s no longer in the bill.
The legislation would give schools two more calamity days beyond the three they’re currently allowed each year. Harsh winter weather quickly pushed schools beyond that limit this season.

Once a prominent member of sports media, Richard Maxwell is now doing his part to help prepare a select group of University students for the changing face of media in sports.
A 1970 graduate of the University, Maxwell was back on campus Wednesday speaking in Olscamp Hall. Maxwell was promoting a new project on sports media — the Richard A. Maxwell Project — headlined by a one week class to be offered in November 2011 to juniors and seniors in the fields of Communications, Journalism and Public Relations or Telecommunications.
“The class is going to be on the changing face in sports media in regards to the NFL,” Maxwell said. “It will not only encompass manage-ment style, but also the new technology avenues that are being used to communicate in today’s world.”
Joe Horrigan, the Vice President for Communications/Exhibits at the Pro Football Hall of Fame, believes that the class being offered in the fall will be a great opportunity for students who are looking to get into the field of sports media.
“You’re talking about the premiere sports league in the country, taught by someone who was there through the evolution and growth of the NFL for a 36-year period,” he said. “That’s like going to the Vatican and getting a tour from the pope.”
The project, called “The
Max” by people involved with its development, will provide a forum for students to develop the craft of sports writing and broadcasting, among other things. It will also provide a “vital center for scholars” inter-ested in sports media, accord-ing to Jacquelyn Cuneen, pro-fessor of Human Movement, Sport and Leisure studies.
“It will have an impact on our faculty, our staff and most importantly our stu-dents, who will be directly involved with the project’s activities,” Cuneen said.
The Maxwell project will also launch a “world wide web” to be maintained and operated by select students, and an advi-sory board will be formed, con-sisting of University students and faculty, as well as faculty from other programs.
After graduating from the University, Maxwell worked in public relations for eight years with the Denver Broncos and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, before being promoted to the NFL’s Director of Information for the NFC in 1978.
Maxwell’s work with the league has allowed him to
establish contacts that he plans to bring to the University to talk as a part of the project.
“We’ve thought about bring-ing in a lot of people, and it really won’t be a problem find-ing people of substance to bring in,” Maxwell said. “We don’t just want to bring in a big name, but people who can provide substance … and we have a long list of them.”
However, his discussions with many of the people have been “very preliminary,” due to the current labor negotiations that the league is undergoing.
“It was very evident that this wasn’t the time to go down that road with them, since they have much more impor-tant things to talk about,” Maxwell said.
Maxwell also said that the new media revolution toward emphasis on the Internet is unique compared to other changes in types of media that he experienced during his time with the league.
“[With the league] you’re trying to control the media and stay out in front of it as best as you can, and that’s a challenge,” he said.

MEDIA: Richard A. Maxwell, who is well known and respected in the sports communication industry and is a graduate of the University, spoke in Olscamp about the Richard A. Maxwell project.
By Danae KingReporter
Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. brought attention to outstanding women at the University Wednesday night by hosting an event titled “Evening of Roses.”
The event took place in Olscamp from 7 to 9 p.m. and it was the first year for what the fraternity hopes to make an annual event.
“We give out certificates and an actual yellow rose for each woman who’s being recognized, and we give a brief biography on why we’re awarding her and what she’s done,” said Eddie Hackler, senior and chair of the event.
Hackler said the frater-nity had a few overall goals for the event.
“Our goal is to let people know that chivalry is not dead,” Hackler said. “Also, one of our goals is just to let the women in our communi-ty know that we do appreciate them for the things they’re doing and it’s not going unrecognized, or it’s not being slipped under the rug. We want to empower women through this and hopefully inspire more women to get more involved and do more things through the commu-nity as well.”
The evening began with a dance selection by Jazzmine Hill and then dinner, which was provided by University
Dining Services. Anyone was welcome to observe the event, but the women who were recognized were invited and encouraged to bring guests.
During dinner, guests were treated to a musical selection followed by a performance by a praise and worship team.
“It was fun,” sophomore Rebecca Shakespeare said. “I think it’s really nice that they did this and asked the women that are a part of a lot of organizations, spend a lot of time, keep their grades up and are good influences.”
Shakespeare performed with four other women as the praise and worship team, and they sang a Christian melody titled “Israel.”
After the performance, awards were presented to the faculty, staff and administra-tion recipients.
Seven faculty and admin-istration awards were given out, including one to Shannon Cochran, a University instruc-tor in the Department of Ethnic Studies and Women’s Studies. Cochran was given an award for out-standing adviser.
“I thought it was wonder-ful,” Cochran said. “I’m hon-ored to be selected.”
After the faculty and administration awards, Ashley Strother performed an inspirational poem, and the awards and recogni-tions were presented to stu-dent recipients.
Six women were presented with awards for students, and senior Brittany Reynolds was presented with the student involvement award.
“It really motivates you to keep up the work,” Reynolds said.
Reynolds said when she found out she was being awarded, she felt over-whelmed, but said she was enjoying herself.
After the student awards, University student Lauren Allah performed “Listen” by Beyonce and received a standing ovation.
Hackler said the hardest part of the event was choos-ing what women to honor.
“We were thinking of women that we all knew had some type of an impact on either us personally or people that we know in our com-munity, so whether it be advi-sors, or presidents of organi-zations ... that’s how we went about choosing the women,” Hackler said.
Not all of the women the fraternity chose to be hon-ored were able to make an appearance at the event, Hackler said.
Hackler said he thought the event went very well, and the fraternity hopes to do it again next year, with even more women being honored.
“Our fraternity is big on chivalry ... we wanted to have a tangible example of what that means to us,” Hackler said.

April is finally here. The home stretch is upon us. Withstanding bits of rainy and otherwise uninspira-tional weather, the days become longer, brighter.
Unfortunately, some-thing’s got to give. With this uplifting spirit comes a natu-ral decline in motivation for, as we all remember since the first grade, school.
Summer taunts us, crawl-ing slowly towards us as the student body begins its collective countdown. Four
weeks, or 28 more days, just 39 or so classes more, maybe just a few thousand more minutes of class-time.
Hey, creativity counts.It seems no matter how
hard we try, our minds begin to shift towards our desire for summer. If nothing else, we wish it were possible to fast forward through finals week.
Each year, we meet the little death that awaits stu-dents. It is left to us to resist the temptation to shut down, or to let our minds and work fall victim to the allusion of summer.
In the study corners of the Union, on the long walks to and from class, and in page after relentless page, we can see the light at the end
of the tunnel. The sympho-ny music plays, the books are sold and we make our way back home for sweet, beautiful respite.
Beyond that, we prepare ourselves in anticipation for the following year. Most of us (by now, I hope) have signed up for at least a few of their fall classes. Elections for a new student government are underway. We look toward new buildings, professors, and classes.
A new semester will bring forth a fresh set of activities and friends, and inversely new stresses to overcome. Oh, and a new football sea-son too (thankfully).
However, it is not yet time to think too intensely
at the summer and semes-ter ahead.
The year is almost over, but there is still a lot to work for. A plethora of sports charge into April and May for their spring seasons. A few more projects, a bit more assign-ments and a tad more lec-tures, leading to the week which shall not be named.
We may be close, but we just aren’t there yet.
Enjoy the weather, but keep trudging to class. Resist the students’ little death.
In the end, we’ll thank our-selves for the trouble.

I think I speak for most of us when I say it is quite troublesome to see people are posting absurd sta-tus updates on Facebook regarding what kind of cereal they just ate, or that
“Suzie just got a new phone and needs your numbers!”
Though these updates are generally harmless (unless you suffer physical pain from reading such nonsense, in which case I am truly sorry), many students don’t real-ize what they are posting online not only makes oth-ers worry about their men-tal health, but it can also get them killed, unemployed and leave them friendless.
Posting your address online along with your phone number and exact date of birth is just as bad as posting your Social Security num-ber, the way I see it. It’s now easier than ever for preda-tors to find us, so be care-ful what information you provide. Sometimes our last names are enough to locate our place of employment or even where we live.
Google yourself and see what you find. From an employer’s view, do you think this person seems worthy of hire or is he/she just a plain hot mess? Would you befriend yourself or would you track yourself down and shake yourself silly for appearing so ridic-ulous? Was it necessary to post that picture of your-self when you were “totally slizzered, man” during the party last Saturday night? I think we’re all guilty of a similar incident.
The Huffington Post offers plenty of stories on the topic of being “fired over Facebook,” including a Swiss woman who called in sick because she needed to spend time away from the computer and spent her time at home surfing Facebook. Needless to say, her employ-
ment was terminated.A New England Patriots
cheerleader was fired over a racy party photo on Facebook.
An English juror held a poll online asking her Facebook friends to weigh in on the case she was assigned to.
The list goes on.We all want to be accepted
among our peers. In order to accomplish this very important task, we need to learn what is on the minds of others our age and feed off the latest social trends. Facebook seems to be the most straightforward way to find out what is going on around us, keep up on the most exciting inanimate objects to take pictures of or which lowest-calorie drink to pick up at Jamba Juice.
Let’s get real — our view of what matters in friend-ship has become distorted thanks to the virtual world of Facebook. On any given day, a girl I went to high school with is posting about how her ex-boyfriend is taking her back and a co-worker wants recommendations on alcoholic beverages to enjoy that night. When I let this new information sink in, my opinion of these people may change for better or worse regardless of the relationship I may have with them in per-son. The same goes for the way others think of me. The power of Facebook is greater than we think when it comes to keeping our friends close.
My recommendation to you is to stop and think about what you’re posting on Facebook. You can blame the privacy policy terms all you want, but you put your infor-mation out there in the first place and are really the only one to blame. Remember, no one wants to be killed, unemployed or friendless.
Happy Facebooking!

Teen pregnancy is no fun. Unless, of course, you land on a reality show, like what happened to the delightfully dysfunctional girls of MTV’s
“16 and Pregnant.” Or, you could end up like Bristol Palin, making $262,500 off her par-ticipation in programs rais-ing awareness about teenage pregnancy in 2009.
On first glance, Palin’s will-ingness to parlay her baby into a moneymaking scheme seems sort of weird, especial-ly considering that she’s the daughter of Sarah Palin, one of America’s favorite “fam-ily values” icons. But, being mad at Palin would be mis-
guided, because she merely took advantage of what was offered her. The real problem here is the system already in place, which allows someone like Palin to make six figures off her teenage pregnancy. We’re talking about both the political climate and the entertainment market.
Palin is part of a political family and a rather right-wing political family at that. As such, her teenage pregnancy came as a bit of an embarrass-ment for her abstinence-only, down-home common sense-loving mother. Here was Sarah Palin, traveling across the country as the cham-pion of “traditional family values” — a vague, catch-all term whose flaws would need an editorial of their own to
point out — and her unmar-ried, teenage daughter turns out to be with child. Rather than admit that maybe, just maybe, there was a flaw in the Palin family ethos, Sarah played the role of supportive mother and Bristol began her own “don’t-be-like-me” cam-paign. Bristol Palin’s involve-ment in teenage pregnancy awareness programs seems, from this viewpoint, to be less sincere and more politi-cally motivated.
But it isn’t just the politi-cal climate which seems to have given Palin the chance to cash in on having a child out of wedlock — it is also the American public’s love of watching people make mis-takes. As the daughter of a vice presidential candidate,
Palin would have ended up as a minor celebrity no mat-ter what. However, her preg-nancy landed her in tabloids across the country, and peo-ple ate it up. That’s why the
“16 and Pregnant” compari-son is so salient: Palin, just like MTV, cashed in on what the people want to hear and see. It is as simple as that.
We disagree with Palin making money off of her child in this way. For whatev-er reason, it does not sit well with us. However, Palin can-not really shoulder the blame. Let’s be honest: Most people, faced with the same chance to make money, would take it. Instead of shaming Palin, we should maybe be shaming ourselves. Why did we decide to eat it up?
Media culture is to blame for making pregnant teens famous
Facebook could damage more than you think
“Our view of what matters in friendship has
gotten distorted.”

Police arrest two suspects in Ariz. teen’s death
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Two 18-year-olds from a Phoenix suburb have been arrested in the dragging death of a 16-year-old girl.
Police in Glendale arrested Lino Chavez and Jose Solis Apodaca in the investigation of the death of Independence High School student Anita Munoz (MOON’-yohz).
Court paperwork says Chavez was arrested on sus-picion of first-degree murder. The court ordered him held on $500,000 bond.
Apodaca is being held without bond. He faces charges of first-degree murder, aggra-vated robbery and trafficking in stolen property.
It was not immediately clear whether the men had lawyers.
Police said the pair are sus-pected of robbing Munoz of her laptop on March 30.
Detectives said that after a struggle, the girl either fell or was pushed from the men’s vehicle in Glendale. She died from her injuries on Tuesday.
Mo. senators offer to allow vote on jobless bill
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Several Missouri state senators who have been blocking a vote on extending federally-funded jobless benefits said they will only relent if the governor agrees to the elimination of $300 million in federal stimulus spending.
The condition is a change from earlier Wednesday, when a senator leading the filibuster said he would allow a vote on the unemployment bill and instead try to block up to $400 million of stimulus spending.
The senators later said at a news conference that they want Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon to share responsibility for rejecting federal money — even though they could do so on their own.
Nixon did not directly respond to the Republican offer but said he will keep working with Senate leadership.
About 10,000 Missouri resi-dents lost eligibility for extended jobless benefits Saturday because of the filibuster.

Carter: Trip to N. Korea to focus on nuclear weapons
ATLANTA — Former President Jimmy Carter said Wednesday he plans to focus an upcoming trip to North Korea on trying to revive nucle-ar disarmament talks with the reclusive nation while seeking ways to help with the country’s humanitarian woes.
Carter would not say when the trip was scheduled and the Atlanta-based Carter Center declined to comment on the plans. But U.S. gov-ernment officials who were briefed on the details have said he could make the jour-ney as early as this month.
Carter said he would “try to induce the North Koreans to give up their nuclear weapons” and help the country work out a peace treaty with South Korea and the United States. But the trip will also have a humanitarian angle.

Teen in Pa. immigrant death gets 4 1/2 years
WILKES-BARRE, Pa. (AP) — A Pennsylvania teenager who testified against two others convicted of federal charges in the fatal beating of an illegal immigrant will spend 4 1/2 years in prison.
Nineteen-year-old Colin Walsh was ordered Wednesday to report to federal prison on May 6. Outside the federal court-house in Wilkes-Barre, Walsh told the Pottsville Republican and Herald he would become “a better person.”
Walsh pleaded guilty to a civil rights violation in the 2008 beating death of 25-year-old Luis Ramirez in Shenandoah. He also testified against two other teens at a pair of trials.
Brandon Piekarsky and Derrick Donchak were acquitted of the most serious state charges against them by an all-white jury before being convicted of civil rights violations in a federal trial. Both were sentenced to nine years in prison.
Residents allowed back near Colorado wildfire
FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) — Cooler, wetter weather is help-ing crews fighting a northern Colorado wildfire, a day after winds caused a flare-up that prompted the evacuation of 20 houses as a precaution.
Authorities said residents are being allowed back to their homes Wednesday in the Larimer County foothills because of the improved conditions.
Firefighters were continuing to build fire lines around the blaze, which has burned 5 square miles and destroyed about 15 homes.
So far the blaze — a larger fire and nearby smaller one — is about 15 percent contained.
Gov. John Hickenlooper planned to visit the fire’s com-mand post Wednesday afternoon.
It ’s still dry in southern Colorado. Fire warnings are in place across the state’s southeastern plains and in lower elevations of the moun-tains in the south.
Gay student sues ex-Mich. official over stalking
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — The openly gay student assem-bly president at the University of Michigan has sued a former assistant state attorney general on charges of stalking and caus-ing emotional distress.
The Detroit Free Press and AnnArbor.com reported Wednesday that Chris Armstrong filed the suit against Andrew Shirvell on Friday in Washtenaw County Circuit Court.
Armstrong’s attorney Deborah Gordon said in the complaint that Shirvell displayed a “bizarre personal obsession” with Armstrong through critical blog and Facebook posts in which he claimed Armstrong was pushing a “radical homosexual agenda.”
Shirvell told The Associated Press Wednesday he had no comment.
Armstrong is asking for more than $25,000 in damages.
Shirvell was fired by the state in December after being accused of harassing Armstrong. He is a 2002 University of Michigan graduate.

WOBURN, Mass. — A New York City man masqueraded as a student to make a local drug dealer feel comfort-able, then shot the man in a Harvard dorm when he refused to hand over $5,000 worth of marijuana during a robbery, a Massachusetts prosecutor said Wednesday.
As the murder trial of Jabrai Jordan Copney began Wednesday, prosecutors and Copney’s defense lawyer made it clear that the case hinges largely on stories told
by Copney’s co-defendants — two men who allegedly participated in the robbery and Copney’s ex-girlfriend, who was a Harvard student at the time of the shooting.
Prosecutors said Copney shot Justin Cosby, 21, of Cambridge, in May 2009, during an attempted rob-bery in the basement of Harvard’s Kirkland House dorm. But Copney’s law-yer, John Amabile, called the co-defendants “liars,” and said they had made up
“phony baloney” stories so they could cut deals with prosecutors and avoid
long prison sentences.Assistant District Attorney
Daniel Bennett said Copney, a songwriter and musi-cian, spent a lot of time at Harvard visiting his girl-friend, Brittany Smith. While there, he also smoked marijuana with another Harvard student, Smith’s friend, Chanequa Campbell, Bennett said.
Bennett said Campbell also sold drugs. Through Campbell, Copney learned about Cosby, Bennett said. Cosby lived a few blocks from the Ivy League campus but was not a student there.

FAIRLESS HILLS, Pa. — Pitching the promise of energy indepen-dence, President Barack Obama cautioned Wednesday that it’s going to be tough to transition from America’s oil-dependent economy and acknowledged
there’s little he can do to lower gas prices over the short term.
“I’m just going to be honest with you. There’s not much we can do next week or two weeks from now,” the president told workers at a wind turbine plant.
Obama said he wants to move toward “a future where America is less dependent on foreign oil, more reliant on clean energy
produced by workers like you.” But the president said it won’t
happen overnight and if any politician said it’s easy, “they’re not telling the truth.”
“Gas prices? They’re going to still fluctuate until we can start making these broader changes, and that’s going to take a couple of years to have serious effect,” Obama said.

Thursday, April 7, 2011 6SPORTSFalcons drop third straight game, fall 7-3 to Oakland
By Paul BarneySports Editor
In baseball, all it takes is one inning to change the outcome of a game.
Oakland University proved that Wednesday when it snapped an 0-2 deficit in the top of the fourth inning and scored five runs on its way to a 7-3 non-conference win over BG at Steller Field.
“We didn’t play very well,” said BG coach Danny Schmitz. “The three phases of pitching, hitting and defense didn’t fare too well today and those are the things we need to key on. We need to
execute those three phases, and when we do we’re a very com-petitive club.”
Pitching and defense hurt the Falcons in the top of the fourth inning when designated hit-ter Mike Carson took the first pitch he saw off BG starter Matt Malewitz and put it over the left field fence. The solo shot sparked a rally that featured two Falcon errors.

CHIT CHAT: BG women’s golf coach Stephanie Young (left) talks with Marisa Glew at the Falcon Invitational last spring.
By Ryan SatkowiakAssistant Sports Editor
After falling to Ohio University last week in the Spring Challenge Cup, the BG women’s golf team will refocus its attention on stroke play today as it heads to Eastern Kentucky University for the Lady Colonel Classic.
For today’s round, the Falcons will use Bailey Arnold as the team’s No. 1 golfer, with Kelsey Benson, Lauren Glew and Amy
Ruthenberg rounding coach Stephanie Young’s lineup. The team will also bring Marisa Glew as an individual.
“I think that, coming off of our match play event, we’re looking to build some momentum even though the score of that last meet wasn’t what we wanted,” Young said.
“We were able to play outside and compete, so we’re looking to take positives from that.”
With the weather not cooperating this week, the team was forced to
practice indoors while preparing for the tournament.
Young feels that while not being able to get outdoor practice can present obstacles to the team, they have to just focus on improving their game since the weather is out of their control.
“Our ability to practice outside has been inconsistent; it’s uncon-trollable but it’s a fact,” Young said.

Reds walk their way to perfect 4-0 record to start season
By Joe KayThe Associated Press
CINCINNATI — The National League’s most potent offense has learned how to score by doing nothing.
The Cincinnati Reds got off to their best start in 21 years by show-ing patience at the plate. Reds bat-ters walked 18 times during their 4-0 start, leaving them among the league leaders in that category.
It’s a notable change.Last season, the Reds overpow-
ered teams with an offense that led the league in batting average, homers and slugging percentage. They ranked only 10th in walks, preferring to take their bases sev-eral at a time.
That reputation may be part of the change. Pitchers are being care-ful with the defending NL Central champs so far.
“When people know you can hit, most of the time they’re not just going to come at you,” man-ager Dusty Baker said Wednesday, before a game against Houston.
“It’s up to you.”Jonny Gomes is the best example
of the turnaround. Last season, the free-swinging outfielder walked only 39 times. After four games, he leads the league with seven walks. During an 8-2 win over the Astros on Tuesday night, Gomes drew a pair of walks with the bases loaded, laying off close pitches.
“If you taught every kid to hit in the big leagues, I think all you’d have to say is swing at strikes and take balls and you’ll be successful,” Gomes said. “That’s what we’re doing. I don’t think it’s any more than that. And we could go the other way: When we’re slumping, what’s going on? Well, swinging at
balls and taking strikes.“Basically, it’s that simple.”Simple in theory, not so easy in
practice. Look at the Astros.Houston batted only .215 and
drew only five walks while drop-ping its first four games against Philadelphia and Cincinnati. Astros starter J.A. Happ walked five in the first two innings on Tuesday night, matching his offense’s total for the entire season.
No surprise that the Astros were the NL’s only winless team four games in.
Manager Brad Mills lamented his lineup’s lack of good at-bats in the series opener, when Houston managed only five hits.
“We put a lot of weight on qual-ity at-bats, and with quality at-bats, you’re going to get more walks,” Mills said.
By contrast, the Reds drew 18 walks — none intentional — while scoring 7, 4, 12 and 8 runs in their first four games. They’re batting .338 with eight homers in those four games. National League MVP Joey Votto is second on the team with four walks.
Eight different Reds have drawn a walk, an indication it’s more than Gomes and Votto. Eleven players

are batting .333 or better.“I think we’re pretty
stacked,” Gomes said. “We’ve got dangerous hitters one through eight, so taking your walks is fine. We’ve seen that. I don’t think we’re relying on the middle of our lineup. Just take your walks, we can do damage one through eight.”
Being selective early in the count has forced oppos-ing starters to throw a lot of pitches and work themselves into a corner. Three of the first four opposing starters failed to last five innings because of high pitch counts.
“You get walks by not swinging at pitches out of
the zone,” Baker said. “It’s like fishing and throwing some bait out there.
“It’s hard to catch the big bass if you don’t have the proper bait presentation. Those are the guys who hit .300. It’s easy to catch the little fish because the first batch of bait you throw out there, they bite on it.”

Dunham reached second on a fielder’s choice and later came around to score on an RBI single by Tim Ryan. D.J. Jarrad added another RBI single, which pulled starter Malewitz, who allowed five runs (two unearned) on six hits in 3.1 innings.
Malewitz was relieved by Ben Singer who, after throwing an attempted pick off to second in cen-ter field, allowed Ryan and Jarrad to score a couple unearned runs.
“We gave them a couple
extra outs and it turned into a crooked number,” Schmitz said. “It went from a 2-1 lead to where we lost the lead.”
The Golden Grizzlies tacked on another run in the sixth in unlikely fash-ion, when Jarrad scored from third on a sacrifice fly to first base. Jeremy Shay couldn’t throw out Jarrad at home after hauling in a catch in foul territory down the right field line.
BG scored its final run of the game in the bottom half of the seventh when fresh-man Logan Walker came home after finishing a per-fect 3-for-3 at the plate.
The Falcons struggled as a team at the plate,
however, striking out six time and leaving nine runners on base.
Jeff Gorecki earned the win on the mound after allowing just a hit in three innings, while striking out three. He came in relief of Brady Adamek, who allowed two runs (one unearned) on three hits in three innings.
Malewitz got the loss as BG used six pitchers, including Chris Miller, Levi Fisher, Ross Gerdeman and Dan Parsons, who each pitched one inning.
The Falcons resume prac-tice today and will look to improve on the three phases.
“We just need to get the
thoughts on the positive side here,” Schmitz said.
The loss dropped BG to 9-15 overall while remaining 3-3 in the Mid-American Conference.

The tournament will be the first competitive stroke play match for the Falcons since the Rio Verde Invitational, in March. The tournament will also only be the Falcons’ third competitive outing since October, something Young feels can present a challenge to the team.
“Right now the biggest thing that we need to focus on is getting the players accus-tomed to competitive situa-tions,” Young said. “Every shot or every decision that they make in practice is under the gun, or feeling like it’s count-ing towards something.”
However, Young feels the team’s simulation of competi-tive situations in practice has thus far been successful.
“We’ve been able to play every day this week in a com-petitive format, but the real key is to start developing con-sistency when we get outside,” Young said.

pretty good, unfortunately today the wind was blow-ing in,” said BG coach Danny Schmitz. “If the wind is blowing out that’s a grand slam and we got the game tied because he put a good swing on that ball.”
The comeback effort didn’t come as a surprise to Schmitz, who has seen his team make noise in the ninth inning in three of its last five games.
Friday against Eastern Michigan, BG was down 13-5 before scoring six runs in the bottom of the ninth in
a 13-11 losing effort. Two days later, the
Falcons trailed the Eagles 5-2 in the ninth and scored two more, but again the comeback bid fell short, with a final score of 5-4.
“The guys don’t quit,” Schmitz said after his team’s third ninth-inning rally fell short. “Even though we didn’t play extremely well we were still in the ballgame. I give the guys credit for that.”
Tough stretchThe Falcons’ game against
Oakland was their fifth in six days and their third straight loss.
After a three-game weekend series with EMU, BG lost on the road
to Western Michigan on Tuesday before falling to the Golden Grizzlies.
“That’s the way it is, it’s not unusual for us to play every Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday,” Schmitz said. “It did give some guys that haven’t had an opportu-nity a chance to get in the past couple of days and see some playing time, and I think that’s important for those guys.”

Even though the last two

games were non-confer-ence games, BG looks to use those games to prepare itself for conference.
“That’s one thing about the midweek games, that’s what they are. They’re mid-week games, they’re not conference games and the most important thing is getting ourselves ready for conference,” Schmitz said. That’s what we have to do, we just have to come out with a good attitude. We just play them one at a time and Friday’s the next most important game.”

Gates in Baghdad for talks with Iraqi officials
BAGHDAD — On his first visit to Iraq this year, U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates arrived Wednesday for two days of talks with senior government officials on the looming final withdrawal of American troops from a coun-try still suffering from frequent insurgent violence eight years after the fall of the Saddam Hussein regime.
Gates’ meetings Thursday were to include a session with Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, who has publicly insisted Iraq can handle its security without U.S. troops beyond 2011. The bulk of the remaining 47,000 U.S. troops are to begin going home in late summer or early fall, officials have said.
Gates has said in congres-sional testimony that it might be preferable to keep U.S. troops in the role of training Iraqi forces and providing security for an enlarging U.S. Embassy presence, but he also has said the U.S. will pull out completely on schedule at year’s end unless the Iraqis request an extension.

Somalia to push insurgents from capital in a year
MOGADISHU, Somalia— Somali government forces and African Union peacekeepers can take back control of the country’s ruined capital from Islamist insur-gents within a year, the Somali prime minister said Wednesday.
“We just need one year. Our forces are advancing in the city,” Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed told The Associated Press.
The Somali transitional government, which is backed by about 9,000 African Union troops, now controls about half of the capital city, although attacks are frequent and sporadic gunfire can be heard throughout the day.
Islamist insurgent group al-Shabab controls the other half and much of south-central Somalia. The State Department says some leaders of al-Shabab have links to al-Qaida.

DNA test IDs 103rd stolen baby in Argentina
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — An Argentine human rights group says DNA evidence has identified the 103rd young person who was stolen at birth during the country’s dictatorship in the late 1970s.
The Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo said the young woman was born in 1976 to Cecilia Beatriz Barral, who was nine months pregnant when kidnapped with her partner, Ricardo Horacio Klotzman. The couple were militants in the Revolutionary Workers Party, prime targets for elimination after Argentina’s military coup.
A court forced the woman to take a DNA test against her will and released the results to the involved parties Tuesday. The Grandmothers announced the results Wednesday.
The Grandmothers said the woman’s half-sister has never stopped looking for her.
Unpaid electric bill leaves holy site in the dark
JERUSALEM — It’s a lesson that the rabbis who manage one of Israel’s most popular Jewish pilgrimage destinations have now learned the hard way: Even holy sites have to pay the electric bill.
The tomb of Moses Maimonides, one of Judaism’s pre-eminent sages, has been plunged into darkness because of a debt to the electricity company totaling $11,500.
Rabbi Israel Deri, one of the managers of the site in the Galilee city of Tiberias, admitted Wednesday that the bill “fell between the cracks.” As a result, the tomb — where people come to pray around the clock — is now closed to night visitors.
“We accumulated a debt. We didn’t pay. And we’re work-ing on it,” Deri said. Signs at the entrance announce that the site is closed at night “due to a power glitch.”

Afghan officials: 2-3 men suspected in UN attack
KABUL, Afghanistan — Former insurgents who had renounced the Taliban and were in a reintegration program are suspected of taking an assault rifle from a Nepalese guard and opening fire during the anti-Quran-burning riot last week that left seven U.N. workers dead, Afghan officials said Wednesday.
Parliamentarian Mohammad Akbari said government investi-gators have identified three men they believe were involved in the killing of three U.N. staff mem-bers and four Nepalese guards in the April 1 attack against the U.N. headquarters in the northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif. Four protesters also were killed.
The men were arrested the day of the riot. It began as a peaceful demonstration, but after crowds stormed the building and set fires, some protesters seized weapons and started shooting.
“They had one Kalashnikov which they took from a guard. They fired, according to wit-nesses,” said Akbari, who was part of the investigating team. “They have been recog-nized by witnesses.”

Rio’s ‘Operation Easter’ to check size of eggs
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Officials in Brazil’s Rio de Janeiro state are going to make sure the Easter Bunny isn’t short-chang-ing children with the holiday’s hallmark chocolate eggs.
Rio’s department of weights and measures launched
“Operation Easter” on Wednesday to verify the size and weight of the multicolored eggs already lining super-market shelves. The state-run Agencia Brasil said they will also also check the safety of toys inside the eggs.
Investigators will col-lect eggs around the state. Department head Soraya Santos said the eggs will be stripped of their shiny wrappers and weighed in a lab to be sure customers aren’t being cheated.
The toys inside will be checked against federal safety standards.

UNITED NATIONS — Haiti’s outgoing president criticized the U.N. Security Council on Wednesday for being too slow to switch its peacekeeping mission in the Western hemi-sphere’s poorest country from military operations to devel-opment and peacebuilding.
In his last address to the council, Rene Preval urged the U.N.’s most powerful body to consider the effectiveness of its interventions “that have practically led to 11 years of military presence in a coun-try that has no war.”
Speaking at the meeting attended by Colombia’s presi-dent, former U.S. president Bill Clinton and nine foreign ministers from Latin America and Spain, Preval said it was
“sad to note” that in a quar-ter of a century “I’m the only president to finish two consti-tutional terms and was never jailed or exiled.”
Preval urged the coun-try’s newly elected presi-dent, pop star Michel “Sweet Micky” Martelly, legislative leaders and the opposition to work in a spirit of peace and cooperation.
But Preval focused mainly on the instability in Haiti due to the effects of “underde-velopment” and a culture of impunity dating back to the
dictatorship of the Duvaliers. The instability, he said, was compounded by deadly hur-ricanes and the devastating earthquake in January 2010, which according to the gov-ernment killed 316,000 peo-ple and crippled much of the country’s economy.
Since 1993, Preval said, the United Nations has had a series of peacekeeping mis-sions in Haiti, “each time ... made necessary by instabil-ity created by the citizens themselves.” This was true most recently in 2004, when there was the possibility of clashes with heavily armed groups, he said.
But he said when the danger of violent confron-tation had passed, “peace-keeping operations did not quickly enough adapt to the new situation.”
“Tanks, armed vehicles and soldiers should have given way to bulldozers, engineers, more police instructors” and experts on reforming the judicial and prison systems,” Preval said.
When he was sworn in for a second term in May 2006, Preval said, “I emphasized this need — but I was unfor-tunately not heard.”
Preval said he hoped the peacekeeping mission in Haiti would be reoriented, a view strongly backed by Colombia’s President Juan
Manuel Santos, whose country holds the council presidency.
Santos said Colombia organized the council meet-ing because it wanted to renew efforts to stabilize and strengthen the rule of law in Haiti, given “the meager results achieved” so far.
“We must all commit to a different vision for rebuilding Haiti,” Santos said.
Cuba’s Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez criticized the U.N. peacekeeping mis-sion in Haiti for being too involved in Haitian affairs.
“Haiti does not need an occupation army,” he said. “It is not, nor can it become, a United Nations protectorate.”
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said rule-of-law reform must be a top priority for Haiti’s next president, calling the judicial system “deeply dysfunctional” and prisons dangerously overcrowded.
Haiti’s economy is also “on its knees” with public institutions barely able to deliver essential services and millions of Haitians still dependent on the assistance of nongovernmental organi-zations to meet their basic needs, he said.
“As a result, citizens have lost confidence in the state and investors remain reluctant to do business in Haiti,” Ban said.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Defense Secretary Robert Gates tried to smooth the worst rift in years with Arab ally and oil producer Saudi Arabia on Wednesday, reas-suring the Saudi king that the U.S. remains a steady friend despite support for pro-democracy revolutions in the Middle East.
The Saudi king, looking thin after months of medi-cal treatment in the United States and elsewhere, wel-comed Gates for what the Pentagon chief later said was a cordial and warm visit.
The hospitality masked deep unease among Saudi Arabia’s aged leadership about what the political upheaval in the Middle East means for its hold on power, its role as the chief counter-weight to a rising Iran, and its changed relationship with the United States.
In a sign of the depth of the Obama administration’s concern about the political earthquake that has shaken the region, including the island of Bahrain off Saudi Arabia’s Persian Gulf coast, this was Gates’ third trip to the area in the past month.
He has echoed Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s cautioning of authoritarian Arab govern-ments on the risks of mov-ing too slowly in response to peaceful protests for politi-cal freedom.
Saudi Arabia views the threat of a nuclear strike from Iran as a far larger issue than the drive for political freedoms in Egypt and elsewhere.
Although Gates said he and Saudi King Abdullah did not discuss the deci-sion to send Saudi troops into Bahrain last month, the contest for influence in that majority-Shiite country was an important subtext to Gates’ visit. The U.S. is selling Saudi Arabia military hardware to upgrade the kingdom’s defenses against Iranian missiles.
Gates said it’s already clear that Tehran is trying to exploit instability in Bahrain, the tiny island nation off the Saudi coast that hosts the
U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet.“And we also have evidence
that they (the Iranians) are talking about what they can do to create problems else-where,” the Pentagon chief added. He did not elaborate. Other officials have said Iran is using money and politi-cal pressure in Bahrain and elsewhere to promote Shiite unrest, but the extent of this effort is unclear.
The unrest in Bahrain, which erupted in February, has played out against the region’s deep rivalries between Shiite and Sunni Muslims. Protesters from Bahrain’s Shiite major-ity have demanded that the kingdom’s Sunni minor-ity rulers grant them equal rights and a political voice.
Saudi Arabia, a largely Sunni nation, has rushed to the aid of Bahrain, while other Gulf countries have accused predominantly Shiite Iran of meddling in Bahrain’s affairs by trying to stir Shiite unrest there.
