BBYY MMIICCHHAAEELL RROOIIZZEENN,,MM..DD..,, AANNDD MMEEHHMMEETT OOZZ,,MM..DD..We know. You're tired of

tattooing your skin with themetal salts, lead, cobalt andcarbon, and want to try thenew organic azo dyes withplastic-based pigments.But before you stroll into

Kat Von D's L.A. ink shop,High Voltage Tattoo, considerthis: Recent reports showthese new tattoo dyes are trig-gering an increasing numberof complications, including al-lergic reactions, infectionsand lesions that look likesquamous cell skin cancer.

When those bumps appear,you'll need a biopsy to figureout what's going on -- notpleasant for you or the tattoo.

Also consider that you'readding these new risks to theones that come along with old-school inks: Some contain hor-mone disruptors that can mi-grate to your lymph nodes;others deliver lead, cobalt,cadmium, mercury sulfide (allwell-documented carcinogens)and toxic hydrocarbons. AndBTW, unless you get new inksfor each color, even if the nee-dles are sterilized, it's as riskyas having sex with everyonewho has received a tat with

that ink. We'd like to see regulations

that make it clear which inksare a health hazard andwhich, if any, are OK to use.But in the meantime, if you'redying for a tat, take this ad-vice: 1. Insist that your tattoo

artist use sterile equipmentand a new ink pack to reducerisks of blood-borne infec-tions; 2. Don't tattoo over a mole; 3. Only go to a parlor that's

state licensed (not all statesprovide that regulation).And don't tell 'em Dr. Mike

DEAR ABBY:My friend "Eden"recently told meher husband con-stantly comparesher to me. Itcame up becauseshe asked how Iwas feeling in myfirst trimester ofpregnancy, and I

confided that I have been havinga tough time keeping up with myhousehold duties.Instead of sympathizing, she

said, "Wow! I'll have to tell myhusband that, because he's al-ways talking about how cleanyour house is and how you cookdinner for your family everynight."I was really hurt that she was

taking pleasure in my failures. Ialso felt uncomfortable that herhusband compares her unfavor-ably to me. It isn't the first timeshe has mentioned how he talksabout me.I have distanced myself,

hoping things would get better,but when I see her, she invari-ably manages to get in a little"dig." I'm unsure how to handlethis. We're neighbors and havemutual friends. I thought wewere friends, but now I realizeshe harbors some resentmenttoward me for something I did-n't cause. Help! -- NO CON-TEST IN MARYLANDDEAR NO CONTEST: Un-

less Eden's husband stops us-ing you as the cudgel to beat

New tattoo ink adds to risks

Neighbor’s critical husbandcreates friction in friends

her down with, you can forgetbeing friends. A way to handleit would be to talk to her hus-band and say, "Please stop com-paring me to your wife becauseit is affecting our friendship!"

DEAR ABBY: Whenever mybest friend smells a cough drop,she comments that it's "rude"to eat one in public and that ifsomeone is sick, the personshould stay home.I would much rather smell

someone's cough drop than lis-ten to coughing during an en-tire movie or opera. Some peo-ple may have bought expensivetickets to a show only to getsick the day before or have al-lergies that cause them tocough. So is it rude to eat a cough

drop in public or not? -- UN-BOTHERED IN TEXASDEAR UNBOTHERED: If it

was bad manners to pop acough drop into one's mouth inpublic, more than a few largebrands would be out of busi-ness. While I agree with yourfriend that if people are sickthey should stay home, somecoughs linger beyond the stagewhen they are contagious.I do NOT think that be-

cause someone bought expen-sive tickets to an event andgets sick the day before thatit's all right to attend anywayand risk infecting everyonewithin "cough-shot." The con-siderate thing to do is to canceland ask for a refund.

DEAR ABBY: I have a

friend in another state whohas been posting on Facebookabout her diagnosis of cancer.Her postings started in Octo-ber, followed by more postingsabout delay after delay in thetreatment.First it was insurance -- she

doesn't have any. Then it wasmultiple CAT scans and PETs.Now she's planning her ownfundraiser, and I'm beginningto think she has made thewhole thing up. It looks likethere will be no treatment un-til after the fundraiser, eventhough she claims the canceris stage 4. What do you think?-- SUSPICIOUS IN NEWYORKDEAR SUSPICIOUS: I

think that if there is any doubtin your mind about thiswoman's character, you shouldnot contribute. And I alsothink that if your suspicionsare true, your friend is plan-ning to commit fraud andcould wind up "recuperating"in prison.

Ga. to end Medicaid payments for some early birthsATLANTA (AP) — Georgia

health officials are hoping toimprove care — and save mon-ey — by steering pregnantwomen and doctors away fromsome early deliveries.State officials are doing this

by eliminating Medicaid pay-ments for elective C-sectionsand induced deliveries before39 weeks, The Atlanta Jour-nal-Constitution reported.The move, which will take

effect July 1, will save thestate’s ailing Medicaid healthprogram for the poor an esti-mated $7 million this fiscalyear and next by avoiding cost-ly medical complications andstays in neonatal intensivecare units.“This was a policy decision

that will result in betterhealth outcomes for Georgiafamilies,” said ChristopherSchrimpf, a spokesman for theGeorgia Department of Com-munity Health, which over-sees Medicaid. “But it also has

a secondary benefit of being fi-nancially sound.”The state’s Medicaid budget

is facing a nearly $400 millionhole despite tens of millions ofdollars in proposed cuts overthe next couple of years.A mother waiting at least

37 weeks to give birth waslong the industry standard.Several studies in recentyears, however, have shownthat babies born even a weekor less prior to 39 weeks aremore likely to have develop-ment problems and need spe-cialized hospital care, theJournal-Constitution reported.There is a short-term cost

with babies having to stay inneonatal intensive care, aswell as the long-term costs ofcaring for developmentally de-layed children, said Dr. DeanGreeson, chief medical officerfor Peach State Health Plan,which provides health cover-age to pregnant women onMedicaid.

“The state saw this as away to get at both of those is-sues,” Greeson said.

Savannah cathedral’s crackedsteeples in need of repairsSAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) —

From scaffolding 120 feetabove the sidewalks of down-town Savannah, workers chipaway stucco to repair deepcracks discovered between the137-year-old bricks that formthe towering twin steeples ofone of the city’s most pic-turesque churches — theCathedral of St. John the Bap-tist.It’s a problem expected to

cost the Roman Catholic Dio-cese of Savannah about $1.5million to fix. The church’sGothic architecture has beencovered by 16 flights of scaf-folding since January, withplywood forming a detouredpath to the front door, and itcould remain up throughJune. Fortunately, church offi-cials say, the cracks were spot-ted just before chunks of ma-sonry began raining down onthe street below.Some suspect the damage

was caused by an August 2011earthquake, centered 500miles away, that gently rockedupper floors of office buildingsdowntown. Monsignor WilliamO’Neill, rector of the cathe-dral, says there’s no way toknow for sure. He blames theinevitable shifting of thesandy coastal soil beneath theweight of the massive churchbuilt in 1876.“Jesus said, build it on a

rock,” O’Neill said, referencinga New Testament parablefrom Matthew. “And we didn’tdo that.”With 28,000 square feet in-

side, more than 80 stainedglass windows and dramaticGothic spires decorated withterra cotta gargoyles, thecathedral has long been astandout in a city filled withhistoric churches. It was built26 years after the Savannahdiocese was established in1850 under Pope Pius IX.Decades later, the sanctuaryand roof had to be completelyrebuilt after a devastating firein 1898. But the originalsteeples remain.What vexes O’Neill and

other church leaders is thatmore expensive repairs areneeded after a top-to-bottomrestoration of the cathedralwas finished in 2000. Thatwork cost $11 million.The rector said he was con-

ducting his annual inspectionlast fall inside the southsteeple, which holds the cathe-dral’s 4,730-pound bell, whenhe noticed deep cracks severalinches long in the mortar.Structural engineers were

called in and noticed smallflakes of stucco falling fromthe church and collecting onthe sidewalks. Using a craneto take a closer look at thesteeples, they found inch-thickchunks of stucco — some thesize of a book — peeling awayfrom the brick and threaten-

ing to fall to the street.“I went up there with a

hammer and chisel and bustedsome off and saw there werecracks all through the bricks,”said Fred Russell, site super-intendent for the Rives E.Worrell Company constructionfirm, which is doing the work.“The brick itself is sound. It’sthe mortar and the joints thatare worn by movement and oldage.”Exactly how Russell’s crew

will repair the cracks once thestucco has been removed fromthe steeple bricks hasn’t beendecided. He said one option isto fill the cracks with epoxy —essentially gluing the bricksback together — then coverboth steeples in a fiberglasswrap to make them more re-sistant to further shifting.

Most items of conse-quence within the GeorgiaGeneral Assembly happenduring the final few days.This is sometimes becauselengthy negotiationsrequire the full allotment oftime to come to a consensusof the interested parties ineach chamber. Sometimesit is because positionsrequire feedback that ispart of an iterative processinvolving legislators andthe public. And sometimesit is because a lot can beobfuscated if enough timeand press is given to coordi-nated misdirection.There are three days left

in this session of theGeorgia General Assemblythat will end this week.Monday, Tuesday, andThursday will mark days38,39, and 40. Many itemsthat were considered deadwill make “surprise”appearances via amend-ments to other bills. Someitems will be brand new viathat same process. Andsome items will be compro-

mises heralded as solutionsthat do not match the prob-lems they are said to fix.Ethics reform is begin-

ning to look like it will fallinto that final category.The compromise betweenthe House and Senate – ifthere is to be one – centerson if there is a dollarthreshold on gifts that canbe bestowed on legislatorsby lobbyists or if they willbe eliminated, what loop-holes will allow those giftsto continue flowing undercertain conditions and whowill have to register as alobbyist to report such gifts.Ethics reform advocates

are partly responsible for atleast the first two items ofdebate. The Georgia EthicsAlliance – composed ofgroups such as CommonCause Georgia and the TeaParty Patriots – pushed fora gift cap of $100 duringlast session by featuring apledge. They deemed itprogress when many ofthose who spent the entirelast session blocking

reforms signed on, ratherthan viewing it as thebeginning of co-opting theheadline while resistingactual change.The result was the House

passing a measure whichchanged the definition ofwho must register as a lob-byist and a total gift cap –except for all the exclusionsof those gifts that aren’tcapped. The Senate wantsto allow gifts of up to $100 –which can be delivered mul-tiple times by the same lob-

byist to the same legislatoreach day.The Tea Party Patriots

spent most of the early partof the debate battling backagainst requirements theyregister rather than to focuson adding what these billslack – independent over-sight of the process andindividual accountabilityfor legislators who violategift restrictions or acceptundisclosed gifts. This pub-lic spat – viewed by many inthe group as retribution for

their pushing this issue –gave a lot of headlines tothe battle over registrationand may well have lost thewar for this session onmeaningful reform.Senator Josh McKoon of

Columbus– the legislature’slone voice on the issue ofreform during the 2012 ses-sion – soldiers on support-ing the Senate’s version ofthe bill, but also notes hisSR 6 and SR 7 – proposalswhich would add indepen-dent oversight to pursuecorruption – are “not goingto move this year”.Instead, we will likely hearleaders of both chamberschampion a win for “trans-parency” as their chiefweapon for ethics.We will hear the touts of

increased transparencydespite a bill that appearedin this 11th hour to limitthe information availableon how we comply withGeorgia’s execution laws (orif we don’t). We will watchas “reports of disturbances,or allegation of threats,

abuse or wrongdoing” inGeorgia’s juvenile justicesystem are legally hiddenfrom public view in anotherlate legislative sleight ofhand.And those who tell us

transparency ensures ethi-cal accountability will notwant you to ask why theirown body remains exemptfrom Georgia’s OpenRecords laws.Transparency will likely

again make great headlinesto triumph new ethics lawsthat refuse to address realand documented ethicalproblems in our state gov-ernment. It’s sad that thelack of real commitment tochange is the thing thatremains most transparentin this process.

It is a theological factthat God really likesGeorgia. That is whyHe putmountains in North Georgiaand the Golden Isles smackup against the AtlanticOcean and added a bunch oflakes and parks and histori-cal sites in between.Otherwise, we could havebeen Iran. Or Detroit.I stopped by last week to

visit the man who isentrusted with these assets,Commissioner of theDepartment of NaturalResources Mark Williams,to get an update. We didn’ttalk religion, but I suspecthis views on what God didfor Georgia pretty much lineup with mine.A former state legislator

from Jesup, Williams says,“I have my dream job.” Hehas also the qualifications,having served on the com-mittees overseeing ourstate’s natural resources inthe General Assemblybefore assuming his currentpost. He has to love his jobto leave the friendly con-fines of Wayne County andspend so much time awayfrom his family. I asked himwhy he does it. The commis-sioner says, “I love this stateand I want to leave it betterthat I found it.” Now, thatwill preach.Not only is Georgia

blessed with splendid nat-ural resources, thoseresources are big business.Ecotourism — a term newto me — includes boating,kayaking, bird watching,

camping, hunting, fishingand the like and brings innearly $7 billion to the stateannually. Fishing is almost$2 billion ofthat; hunting,$1 billion.Our 48 stateparks and 15historic sitesg e n e r a t eabout 10 mil-lion visitors ayear and half-billion dol-lars. Saltwater fish-eries bringanother half-billion to thestate’s econo-my.As for pro-

tecting those resources, Iasked Williams about apiece of legislation, HB 42that has had a number ofpeople along the coast,including me, concerned.The legislation would allowcertain construction insidethe current boundariesestablished by ShoreProtection and CoastalMarshlands Protection Actswith a Letter of Permission(LOP) to be issued by theDNR.Williams says the bill has

been amended to allow tem-porary activities within thejurisdiction area — such asshooting movies — and forno more than six months.After that time, the area isto be returned to as good orbetter condition than whenthe permit was issued.

Activities within the physi-cal parameters of an exist-ing structure can be builtwith only a Letter of

Permission.If the

Legislature andthe DNR plansto amend theC o a s t a lM a r s h l a n dProtection andS h o r eProtection actsnext session, asI am told theymay, they aregoing to need todo a better job oftelling us whatthey plan to doand why. Thec o a s t l i n e

belongs to all of us.Another bill, SB 136, whichhas sailed through theLegislature, concerns boat-ing safety and is long over-due. The measure willrequire more stringentboater education and bringsBoating Under theInfluence (BUI) andHunting Under theInfluence (HUI) more in linewith Driving Under theInfluence and with moresevere penalties. Too manylives have been lost becauseof ignorant yahoos whoshould never have beenoperating a boat in the firstplace.I asked the commissioner

what he would like to say toyou about Georgia’s naturalbeauty. He says, “I wouldask them to please help us

with the stewardship of ourresources.” He is right asrain. Preserving our abun-dant resources and passingthem along for future gener-ations to enjoy is as muchour responsibility as it is the1600 employees of DNR.The state belongs to us all.Enjoy what we have. Keep itclean. Respect the environ-ment.As for me, Williams

wanted to be sure I knew ofthe success of the “Go FishCenter” in Perry, which hasbeen one of my favorite tar-gets since it was birthed —or was it “hatched?” — byformer Gov. George E.Perdue. He says the facilitywhich is operated by hisdepartment has had morethan 40,000 visitors fromaround the country since itopened in late 2010 andmore than 6,000 childrenand adults have participat-ed in education programsthere. I said I would tell youthat. (He plans to let Gov.Perdue know that I did. Myjob can be very difficult, attimes.)My talk with Williams

was a good one and con-vinced me more than everhow blessed we are to live inGeorgia with such gloriousnatural resources. Couldyou imagine having thisconversation in Iran? OrDetroit? Thank you, Lord.

Ethics Reform Transparently Lacks Will

Last Monday night, the Heart of Georgia was hitby a storm that brought a lot of rain and caused somepretty significant damage around town.The next day the temperatures rose and it got pret-

ty warm. By Thursday, we were all reaching for ourjackets and hearing about the possibility of morerain and maybe even some sleet.Oh, and by the way, Wednesday was the first day

of Spring.Welcome to Georgia. If you don’t like the weath-

er just wait a little bit and you may get what youwant. We got to see a little bit of everything lastweek.It began with the storm that caused a lot of prob-

lems. You know a storm is bad when anyone men-tions the day of the week and they know what youare talking about.It’s amazing to see the damage that was done and

how many trees fell here in Laurens County.Thankfully, nobody was hurt or killed. We can takecare of downed trees.Then we had a nice warm day Tuesday, only to be

followed by cooler temperatures and rain the rest ofthe week.We can complain about the weather, but there’s

really nothing we can do about it. The best thing todo is keep up with it by reading the forecast in thepaper, watching it on television or looking it up onthe internet.But it is important to keep up with it because you

don’t want to be caught somewhere without a jack-et or out in the middle of a bad storm.Sadly, the St. Patrick’s Balloon Festival was can-

celled due to inclement weather. Maybe we shouldplan one in the middle of summer when we haven’thad rain for weeks or months.Don’t know if that will help or not. One thing we

do know is it will soon be hot. And when that hap-pens, we’ll be wanting these temperatures backagain.— Payton Towns III

BRUSSELS (AP) — Cyprusavoided bankruptcy, and poten-tial turmoil across the eurozonewas averted, by the country se-curing a last-minute 10 billioneuro ($13 billion) bailout withpromises to sharply cut back itsoversized banking sector andmake large bank account hold-ers take losses to help paymuch of the bill.Negotiations into early Mon-

day ended with approval of thedeal by the 17-nation euro-zone’s finance ministers. TheEuropean Central Bank hadthreatened to cut off crucialemergency assistance to thecountry’s banks by Tuesday ifno agreement was reached.Without a bailout deal by

Monday night, the tinyMediterranean nation wouldhave faced the prospect ofbankruptcy, which could haveforced it to become the firstcountry to abandon the eurocurrency. That would have sentthe region’s markets spinning.“It’s not that we won a bat-

tle, but we really have avoideda disastrous exit from the euro-zone,” said Cyprus FinanceMinister Michalis Sarris.The eurozone finance minis-

ters accepted the plan afterhours of negotiations in Brus-sels between Cypriot officialsand the so-called troika of cred-itors — the International Mon-etary Fund, the EuropeanCommission and the ECB.———A glance at the agree-

ment for the Cyprus bailoutBRUSSELS (AP) —

Authorities from Cyprus andthe so-called troika of interna-tional lenders — the EuropeanCommission, the EuropeanCentral Bank and the Interna-tional Monetary Fund —reached agreement on a bailoutloan for the country of up to 10billion euros. A look at keyparts of the deal:—Cyprus had to come up

with 5.8 billion euros somehowto secure the bailout.—Depositors in the coun-

try’s second-largest bank, Lai-ki, with accounts of more than100,000 euros will lose an un-specified amount of their mon-ey. The move is expected toyield 4.2 billion euros overall —or most of the needed amount.—The remainder of the

money will come from tax in-creases and privatizations.—Cyprus had to agree to re-

structure its banking sector,which is unusually large for thesize of its economy.———Syrian activists say se-

prominent army defector whobecame head of the Free SyrianArmy, an umbrella group thattried to gather rebel fightersunder a unified command.But al-Asaad became little

more than a figurehead and hisgroup has been superseded bythe Office of the Chiefs of Staff,associated with the oppositionSyrian National Coalition.The Observatory reported

conflicting reports on al-Asaad’s fate, with some sayinghe had been killed and otherssaying he lost a leg.———California couple reflects

aside their lunch hour on a re-cent busy Friday to talk to TheAssociated Press about theirSupreme Court case, the evolu-tion of their activism for gayrights and family life.———PROMISES, PROMISES: Hopes on climate change ac-

tion may fall short again inObama’s new termThe issue:Slowing the buildup of

greenhouse gases responsiblefor warming the planet is one ofthe biggest challenges the Unit-ed States and President BarackObama face. The effects of ris-ing global temperatures arewidespread and costly: more se-vere storms, rising seas, speciesextinctions, and changes inweather patterns that will alterfood production and the spreadof disease.Politically, the stakes are

huge.Any policy to reduce heat-

trapping pollution will in-evitably target the mainsources of Americans’ energy:the coal burned by powerplants for electricity and the oilthat is refined to run automo-biles.Those industries have pow-

erful protectors in both partiesin Congress who will fight anyadditional regulations handeddown by the administrationthat could contribute to Ameri-cans paying more for electricityand gas at the pump.

Laurens County votersyesterday rejected a $340,000bond issue to build a consoli-dated high school for pupilson the west side of theOconee River and to consoli-date and change otherschools in the county. The fi-nal count this morning,which is official except forHampton Mills, gave 1,268votes for the bond issueand1,793 against it. The offi-cial returns of Hampton Millshad not been turned in thismorning to Ordinary W.H.Adams. However, reports ofthe count in this district werebelieved to be correct.Five of the 17 districts in

the county voted in favor ofthe bond proposal, with oneDublin box (L-Z) also favor-ing it, and the absentee votesgave the bonds a 14 to 7 votefor.Cadwell and Reedy

Springs polled the most over-whelming vote against thebonds, probably stemmingfrom the idea that the Lau-rens High School, that is nowserving that area would beconsolidated with the pro-posed new West LaurensHigh School and the presentLaurens School building con-verted to an elementaryschool. Fifteen voters inReedy Springs and a likenumber of Cadwell voters fa-vored the bonds, but 313Cadwell voters and 337Reedy Springs (Rentz) votersopposed the bonds.The five districts that vot-

ed in favor of the bond issuewere Lowery, Harvard,Burgamy, Bailey, Buckeye,and Hampton Mills, the lastgiving the bonds a vote of 367for and 50 against, accordingto unofficial reports.Laurens County School

Board Chairman B.C. Keensaid this morning that he didnot know what course theBoard will now take, but "Wewill try to work out a solu-tion. We are still forprogress."

Do I Qualify to be a Foster Parent? Do I have to be married, rich or have any particular religion to qualify as a foster parent? These are some of the common questions asked by those

individuals interested in fostering. The answer is “No”. You do not have to be married, you must be able to support your own family, but you certainly do not have to be rich, nor have a particular religious belief to foster.

Teheran locks up starter spot

Florida Gulf who? Kyle Buschavoids finallap collisionto earn winLaSalle has

second spotas darlingsof tourney

Associated Press

KISSIMMEE, Fla. — This is howJulio Teheran won a spot in theAtlanta Braves' rotation.The rookie right-hander struck out

10 in six hitless innings and DanUggla hit one of three homers for asplit-squad of Braves, who beat theHouston Astros 3-2 on Saturday.Teheran, Atlanta's fifth starter,

walked three while lowering his ERAto 1.04 in six starts."That's a really good arm," Astros

manager Bo Porter said.Teheran also pitched five hitless

innings against St. Louis on March 12.He has allowed just seven hits over 26innings this spring while striking out35 and walking nine."My first goal was to make the team

from spring training and I did," saidTeheran, who was notified he made therotation on Thursday. "That was mymotivation."Two of Teheran's walks and three of

his strikeouts came in the first inning."I was trying to be too fine," he said."But from then I was good.“Most of my strikeouts were with

the curveball."The 22-year-old right-hander from

Colombia struggled last season inTriple-A, but Braves manager FrediGonzalez thinks he learned from theexperience."You have to give Julio credit,"

Gonzalez said. "He had some adversitylast year and is the better for it. He'smatured."The Astros had just one hit until the

ninth inning, when Rick Ankiel belted

a two-run homer off Braves closerCraig Kimbrel.Ankiel also had Houston's other hit,

a single in the seventh inning. The out-fielder, in camp on a minor league deal,is batting .361 (13 for 36) this spring.Evan Gattis and Uggla went deep in

the second inning and Jordan Parrazconnected in the fifth against Astrosstarter Phillip Humber.It was the third homer in two games

for Gattis, who has five this spring andis bidding to win a job as the Braves'backup catcher.Humber, who will start the Astros'

third game of the season, allowed noother hits in his six innings. He struckout four and walked none."The solo homers usually don't beat

you," Porter said. "He left a couple ofballs up."

FONTANA, Calif. — DennyHamlin and Joey Logano racedside by side into the final lap,two bitter rivals unwilling togive even an inch — right upuntil they made contact withless than a mile to go.The race ended with Hamlin

in the hospital, Logano in ashoving match with TonyStewart, and Kyle Busch cele-brating a victory that seemedsecondary to all the fury atFontana.Hamlin was airlifted away

from the track Sunday after acollision with Logano on thepenultimate turn sent himnearly head-on into the insidewall, putting a spectacular fin-ish on the fifth race of theNASCAR season.Logano managed to finish

third despite wrecking into theoutside wall after hittingHamlin, who spun Logano lastweek at Bristol and sparked abitter post-race confrontationthat didn’t cool off during thepast week.“He probably shouldn’t have

done what he did last week, sothat’s what he gets,” Loganosaid.Yet the 22-year-old Logano

might have even bigger wor-ries than his burgeoning feudwith Hamlin, whose teamexpects him to be fine. Stewartgot into a post-race shovingmatch with Logano, with thethree-time champion threaten-ing to “whoop his (butt)” afterLogano aggressively blockedStewart out of a late restart.“It’s time he learns a les-

son,” Stewart said. “He’s runhis mouth long enough. ... He’snothing but a little rich kidthat’s never had to work in hislife, so he’s going to learn whatus working guys who had towork our way up (know about)how it works.”Almost forgotten in the

post-race frenzy was Busch,who led 125 of 200 laps in hisToyota and earned his first vic-tory of the season when hesped past Hamlin and Loganoon the final turn. DaleEarnhardt Jr. also ceded thespotlight, even though

Frederica scored three runs in thefourth inning with the help of a pair ofTrinity errors, then tacked on an insur-ance run in the seventh to claim a 4-2victory Friday night in a GISA Region2AA game.The visitors scored all the runs they

needed in the fourth when they hadcapitalized on three hits and a pair ofwalks along with the Crusaders’ field-ing miscues.Cam Soles was the starter and loser

for Trinity, going the distance with fivehits, two walks and eight strikeouts.Only two of his runs were earned.Trinity got its runs in the fifth and

sixth innings. Luke Price, RichardHarrison and Soles each singled in thefifth for a run, while Cyler Garrett sin-

PHILADELPHIA — Florida GulfCoast can only hope its second weekendin the NCAA tournament is as much funas its first.The little-known Eagles made NCAA

tournament history Sunday night,becoming the first 15 seed to reach theSweet 16 — and they did it in style witha convincing 81-71 win over No. 7 SanDiego State that had the Wells FargoCenter partying.A couple of hours later, Duke joined

them with a 66-50 win over Creighton —and a decidedly more subdued postgamecelebration.Both will have a tough time next

weekend.Second-seeded Duke gets No. 3

Michigan State in the Midwest Regionalsemifinals, while FGCU — the upstartstate school — plays the system’s flag-ship university, third-seeded Florida, inthe South Regional semifinals at Dallas.

“We got a lot of exposure this week-end and now I’m sure it’ll be increased,”FGCU coach Andy Enfield said in one ofthe understatements of the tournament.“If you watched us play and know thepersonalities, it won’t be a problem.They enjoy themselves. I think it’simportant for them to take this in. Iwant all our players to take a coupledeep breaths and say, ‘Wow, we’re in theSweet 16, we’ve accomplished a lot.”’The players — and their new fans

from Philadelphia — had a blast in theirfirst two NCAA tournament games: the78-68 victory over second-seededGeorgetown that brought the Eagles (26-10) to the nation’s attention and theimpressive win over the seventh-seededAztecs.“Words can’t describe this feeling as

being a 15 seed, the first 15 seed to everdo this,” FGCU point guard Brett Comersaid. “I don’t think it’s really sunk in toany of us yet. I feel like maybe it willtomorrow, but right now we’re on such

an emotional high it’s hard to come downfrom.”The Eagles continued their high-fly-

ing act that resulted in some highlight-reel dunks, many on assists fromCoomer, who finished with 10 points and14 assists.“We got on a run, and when we push

the ball we get the crowd behind us andwe get a dunk, and then we go to theother end and get a stop and anotherdunk, it’s hard to try to turn the momen-tum back like that,” Comer said.The Eagles broke the game open

against Georgetown with a 21-2 run inthe second half. Against San Diego Stateit was a 17-0 run and when it was overthe Eagles led 71-52 with 4:19 to playand the only decisions left were how theplayers and fans were going to celebrate.“We’re all about having fun and also

playing really hard and that’s somethingwe like to do, we like to get the crowdinvolved,” said Sherwood Brown, the A-Sun’s player of the year.

East Laurens pitcher Coty Graham delivers a pitchin Thursday’s game against Telfair County.

NASCAR’s most popular drivermoved into the Sprint CupSeries points lead with his sec-ond-place finish.Even without Busch and

Junior, NASCAR’s closest raceto Hollywood had an abun-dance of drama.“I’m tired of these guys

doing that stuff, especially outof a kid that’s been gripingabout everybody else, and thenhe does that the next week,”Stewart said, referring toLogano’s complaints aboutother drivers’ similar moves.“He sent Denny to the hospitaland screwed our day up. He’stalked the talk, but he hasn’twalked the walk yet.”After a fairly entertaining

race highlighted by Logano’saggressive move to blockStewart out of the final restart,the last lap developed into aspectacle pitting rivals alreadyangry at each other about driv-ing tactics.Hamlin spun Logano at

Bristol while Logano was rac-ing for the late lead on thattight Tennessee bullring.Hamlin claimed Logano hadcut him off three times earlierin the race, but Logano ranover to Hamlin’s car afterwardand leaned in his window foran angry exchange before theteams pulled them apart.On Friday, Hamlin said he

hoped the beef with Loganowas finished, but Logano saidhe hadn’t received any apologyand wasn’t feeling particularlyforgiving.They ended up racing

together again in the openinglaps at Fontana, with Loganopractically grazing Hamlin’sbumper early on. Their final-lap theatrics on Fontana’s widetwo-mile track appeared to bemotivated by fierce racing for awin, not revenge.They were side-by-side

heading into the final lap andlargely stayed that way untilTurn 3, where Logano began towork up the track. The carsmade contact and eventuallylost control, with Logano hit-ting the wall while Hamlin slidinside and made heavy contactwith the wall.Hamlin got himself out of

the car, but then slumped tothe ground beside it before anambulance arrived.He was eventually airlifted

out due to traffic around thetrack.

three No. 1s are still alive, aswell as three No. 2s and threemore from the third spot in thebrackets.Louisville has certainly

lived up to being the top over-all seed, winning its first twoNCAA games by an average of28.5 points.The Cardinals (31-5) will

face 12th-seeded Oregon State(28-8) in the first semifinal ofthe Midwest Regional atIndianapolis.The other pits second-seed-

ed Duke (29-5) against No. 3Michigan State (27-8).“We probably can’t play any

better,” Louisville coach RickPitino said after an 82-56 dis-mantling of Colorado State.“Our guys were magnificent.”At the moment, the Card-

inals are clearly the mostimpressive team in the tourna-ment.In the East Regional, for

instance, the seedings held upcompletely but all four of theremaining teams struggled toget through the third round.No. 1 Indiana and No. 4Syracuse pulled out six-pointwins. No. 2 Miami knocked offIllinois by four. No. 3 Mar-quette edged Butler by two.The Hoosiers finished their

game on a 10-0 run, holdingTemple scoreless over the last3 minutes to survive 58-52.“That’s what we’ve been

doing all year,” sophomore cen-ter Cody Zeller said. “We’vebeen in a lot of close gamesthroughout the Big Ten espe-cially. We’ve got a maturegroup that, even though it was-n’t going as well and we would-n’t get things going for a while,that’s what winners do.“You’ve got to survive and

advance this time of year. Wegot some big plays down thestretch and we’re lucky we’removing on.”In the semifinals Thursday

at Washington, it’s Indiana(29-6) vs. Syracuse (28-9) andMiami (29-6) vs. Marquette(25-8). For Hoosiers star VictorOladipo, it’s a chance to returnhome.“I’m just glad that we’re

going. We want to be successfulthere,” said Oladipo, who wasborn and raised in the suburbsof the nation’s capital. “It’sgoing to be fun playing in frontof family and friends and allthat, but it’s a business trip.We’re on a mission.”
