His favorite food is spagetti. Dewayne’s favorite toy is fire trucks and who knows he might grow up and become a fireman. He is the son of Jroc Smith and Howalyn Jackson. His grandmother Carolyn Price just adores Dewayne. He attends Pre-K at Williard Headstart. Ohio continues to move towards recovery from the economic downturn that left many without work and forced others out of their homes. The economic situation has left many Ohioans still looking for jobs, food and shelter. But thousands of residents have been able to pull themselves up by their bootstraps after a little help with their basic needs from Community Action Agencies. For example, Hocking-Athens-Perry Community Action developed a bus service that runs between Columbus, Athens and Cincinnati.

John H. Johnsons stamp unvailed at Warrensville On January 3, one of the nation’s highest honors was presented to pioneering entrepreneur and publisher John H. Johnson who was commemorated on this year’s Black Heritage Forever Stamp by the United States Postal Service. A special dedication of the stamp during a Black Heritage program at the Warrensville High School , 4270 Northfield Rd. , Warrensville Heights. Johnson, the founder of John son Publishing Company, which publishes Ebony and Jet magazines, is the 35th honoree in the Black Heritage stamp series. The Postal Service has recognized the achievements of prominent African Americans through the Black Heritage series since 1978. Past honorees have included Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Thurgood Marshall, Madam C.J. Walker, Paul Robeson, Jackie Robinson, Marian Anderson, Langston Hughes and Barbara Jordan. “ John John son’s unyielding commitment to journalistic excellence and his unparalleled reporting on African American culture have distinguished him as one of America ’s greatest publishers,” said USPS Northern Ohio District Manager Todd Hawkins. From poverty to the pinnacle of American society, John son’s journey was extraordinary. He was born in Arkansas City , AR., where schools were segregated and there were no high schools for black students. By the time of his death at age 87, he commanded a business empire encompassing magazines, cosmetics, radio stations, book publishing and more. In 1982, he became the first black person to appear on Forbes magazine’s annual list of the 400 wealthiest people in America . Johnson was the trailblazing publisher of Negro Digest, Ebony, Jet, and other magazines that showcased African American accomplishments at a time when such affirmation was rare in mainstream media. In 1946, the year after it was found- ed, Ebony landed its first national advertising account. Selling advertising space to white-owned corporations and persuading them to use black models in their ads were major breakthroughs. In recognition of his achievements, John son received many prizes and honors, including the NAACP’s prestigious Spingarn Medal in 1966 and being named publisher of the year by industry peers in 1972. President Clinton awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1996, and a panel of experts polled by Baylor University in 2003 named John son the greatest minority entrepreneur in American history. Designed by art director Howard E. Paine, the John H. John son stamp is being issued as a Forever stamp in selfadhesive sheets of 20. Forever stamps are always equal in value to the current First-Class Mail 1-ounce rate. The John H. John son stamps are being sold at a price of 45 cents each, or $9 a sheet. The stamp is available for purchase at Post Offices nationwide and online at http://usps. com. A special dedication of the John H. Johnson commemorated stamp for Black Heritage Forever Stamp was held during a Black Heritage program at the Warrensville High School , 4270 Northfield Rd. , Warrensville Heights.

For Wilson, the annual event is personal, her Walk team named, Florence Zenobia Crittenden Clairol Foot Soldiers,, is in honor of her daughter whom she lost to the complications of type 1 diabetes. Wilson has raised nearly $1,000.00 this year and she is committed to doing her part to help find a cure for type 1 diabetes. The event is projected to raise over $770,000.00 locally, for type 1 diabetes research. " For those who live with type 1 diabetes, its like walking on a tightrope to balance blood sugar levels just to stay alive. Walks like this are funding research to lessen the burden of type 1 diabetes and eventually find a cure" said Corporate Chairman, Rodney Bell of Ohio Business Machines. The energetic and enthusiastic walkers kicked off the walk at 9:00 am. Some choose to walk the entire route while others just enjoyed the day with their families. There was a scavenger hunt with clues along the route and prizes for those who found all the answers. Abby Normal and the Detroit Lean entertained the crowd as they enjoyed a nutritious snack at the end of the route. " I'd like to thank all our wonderful volunteers for working so hard and making this event so succesful," said Chapter President, Greg Cowan.

Still, more than 9.5 million people worldwide die each year from infectious diseases. Of particular concern today are virulent forms of “superbugs” that have mutated and grown resistant to available antibiotics. Responding to this need, America’s biopharmaceutical research companies have nearly 400 new medicines and vaccines in the pipeline to fight infectious diseases. This is especially encouraging as infectious diseases have become more aggressive. For example, only 2 percent of staph infections in the U.S. were drug resistant in 1974. The percentage jumped to 63 percent by 2004. Staph infections now kill more people in the U.S. than AIDS, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. When staph bacteria spread to the bloodstream, a life-threatening illness known as sepsis can occur. Sepsis, which has increased by 91.3 percent over the last 10 years, is expected to kill 215,000 people in the U.S. this year. But there are 18 new medicines and vaccines to treat or prevent staph infections and sepsis that are currently in development, according to the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) report. Scientists are also developing treatments for infectious diseases as varied as herpes, rabies, meningitis and SARS. A total of 145 vaccines are in development to prevent a variety of infections, including a number of forms of influenza. Additionally, 88 antibiotics and 96 anti-virals are in development. Further, scientists are also working to thwart the potential devastation of biological warfare agents. Ten separate treatments for anthrax and three for smallpox are in development. Although medical progress eradicated naturally occurring smallpox in humans worldwide by 1980, concerns remain that the vi- rus could be used as a bioterrorism weapon. PhRMA represents the country’s leading pharmaceutical research and biotechnology companies, which are devoted to inventing medicines that allow patients to live longer, healthier and more productive lives.

Congresswoman Marcia L. Fudge (OH-11) released the following statement recently on the death of Congressman Donald Payne: “Today is a sad day for the residents of the 10th District of New Jersey, and so many others around the world. Congressman Donald Payne will be remembered for his advocacy and his passion during over twenty years in the House of Representatives. Whether pushing for humanitarian aid to developing coun- tries or fighting for equitable funding for public schools, Donald’s passion for serving others was unmistakable. He was also a great leader, as evidenced by his work in and for the Congressional Black Caucus. We will all miss him.” “I was blessed to count Donald as a colleague, and as a dear friend and mentor. My heartfelt prayers are with his family, staff, and constituents. May the thoughts and prayers of many give some solace to his family and friends during this trying time.” Marcia Fudge honors life of Donald Payne Events celebrate Shaker Heights What an exciting time it is to be in Shaker Heights!

Turner introduces legislation to protect men’s health State Senator Nina Turner (D-Cleveland) recently announced legislation that would protect men in Ohio from the risks of PDE5 inhibitors, drugs commonly used to treat symptoms of impotence. Turner’s legislation would include provisions to document that the symptoms are not psychological in nature, and would guide men to make the right decision for their bodies. Physicians would be required to obtain a second opinion from a psychological professional to verify that a patient has a true medical malady before the medication could be prescribed. The legislation follows the FDA’s recommendation that the evaluation of erectile dysfunction should include a determination of potential underlying causes and the identification of appropriate treatment following a complete medical assessment. Similar bills to more closely regulate reproductive health issues have been introduced in the state legislatures of Virginia , Oklahoma , Idaho , and most of Kilbane’s great-grandchildren, Kevin and Erin O’Toole, and a VIP Mystery Guest.

This is part two. In their impatience, they become obsessed with ousting those in power without regard for what they will be replaced by. In the case of a country, this may mean armed rebellion. In masjids and Islamic centers, it may meaning calling for elections or perhaps finding some law among the laws of the disbelievers which may “help” them. They then take the case to the courts. This last one is a form of kufr. In any case, what happens next is very interesting. The sleeping giant which is the third category - who showed no interest or participation in the masjid up to this point - are suddenly “interested” (or so they want us to believe) in “saving” the masjid from those currently in charge. The analogy in the countries is generals from the oppressor’s army suddenly claiming to be with the “jihad.” The r e i s l i t t l e chance of any other outcome other than people even worse than their predecessors gaining power and/or other forms of foolishness coming in (such as nationalism) and the fitnah (confusion) continuing from election to election. This is why elections are not a valid means of changing leadership in Islam. Those in power can only be removed under certain conditions and after fulfilling a long list of conditions which the scholars have defined in detail. They Cannot be removed simply because 2 years or 4 years have passed. Allah sent no authority for that. This is what is meant when it is said that Islam is not democracy and democracy is not from Islam. Those responsible for removing a ruler who goes wrong are not the population at large. Rather, they are., “those who release and commission.” They are the scholars. Thus, a people who consistently oppose and hate their people of knowledge can never succeed, least of all in the issue of reforming the leadership. So, the only road to change is: *Improve the state of as many people as possible by spreading knowledge of Islam A Look At My World Keeping close tabs on my investments By REV. JAMES L. SNYDER I find it quite amusing that some of the brightest and richest people in our country do not seem to have a clue as to what they are doing. Most do not have the common sense that God gave to a caterpillar. As Abraham Lincoln used to say, common sense is not as common as it used to be. Amen, to that one. The financial experts are telling us that we need to buy gold or silver to safeguard our investments. I am way ahead of the game. Several years ago, I got a gold tooth. Fortunately, for me, I got it before the financial crisis in our country. I cannot tell you what a remarkable feeling it is to walk around with your fortune in your mouth. I hear about all of the investment schemes that are supposed to make me rich. I have a sneaking suspicion that the only people getting rich are those with the investment schemes. They want us to buy stocks and bonds and futures. I never heard of anything so silly in all my life. What would I do with stocks, bonds and futures, whatever in the world they are, in my portfolio.

I just do not want anybody folioing around with my port, thank you very much, sir. If I got my facts right, and I looked it up in the dictionary, port has something to do with wine. Why would I want to put a bottle of port into my folio and pretend it is some kind of an investment? I really have to give it to these investment schemers. They really know how to pull the wool over our eyes. I want to go on record as saying that they are not pulling any wool over my eyes. Just leave my wool alone. If I want my wool pulled, it certainly will not be over my eyes, I will tell you that right here. This wool pulling sounds more like sheep fleecing to me, and I want nothing to do with it. For me I have discovered a way of safeguarding my wealth. My basic financial philosophy is simply spend less than I make. I know that is a revolutionary concept in today’s world, but it has stood me in good stead for many a year. We live in a culture that has absolutely no spend- ing control whatsoever. This culture does not know the relationship between saving money and spending money. For example. The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage came home the other day and in a very exuberant tone told me how much she saved at the grocery store. “I saved $119.23 today at the grocery store. Isn’t that terrific?” Being the humble, demure sort of guy that I am, I did not ask her a question that was buzzing around my head at the time. The question was, how much did it cost me to save you that much money? Having a happy home is more important to me than exploring truth at its core. Especially in this area. My financial strategy down through the years has been a very regular and wise investment plan. I am not quite sure how I came up with this marvelous plan, but one day it just hit me. Ever since that time, I have been using my financial investment plan. My investment plan only cost me $19.79 back in the year of our Lord 1986. Since that time, it has faith and facilitating, encouraging and increasing its practice. *Deliver nasiha (advice) to those corrupt ones in power without fear or losing hope. *Urge the scholars to perform their duty.

Singer AJ Green, spokesperson for the 3 Lives campaign, has been battling sickle cell disease for most of his life. His treatment includes monthly blood transfusions. “My goal is to get more people of color to become regular blood donors,” Green said. “Minority donors allow me and other sickle cell patients to manage our disease and live our lives.” About 10% of people attending a blood drive will not be able to donate because their hemoglobin levels are too low - but that can usually be avoided. Donors are encouraged to add some iron-rich foods to their diet a day or so before giving blood. Good sources of iron include meat, dried beans, peas, bread, pasta, dark green leafy vegetables, dried fruits or nuts. While the primary goal of the 3 Lives campaign is to recruit minority donors, everyone is encouraged to attend the drive and donate blood. All the blood collected will be used to help people in the Cleveland area. Remington College-Cleveland West Campus is located at 26350 Brookpark Rd. in North Olmsted.

Remington College has partnered with America’s Blood Centers (ABC) and the Sickle Cell Disease Association of America (SCDAA) to raise awareness of the need for minority blood donors. The 3 Lives effort has collected more than 5,000 pints of blood since it began and ABC named Remington College as its 2011 National Partner of the Year. According to the SCDAA, African American blood donors provide blood with unique antigens that is vital for people battling sickle cell and other lifethreatening diseases.

Why was there a question about a nonprofit school’s tax-exempt status? The issue arose because CCPA, an Ohio community school, leases property from Anderson/Maltbie Partnership (“AMP”), which is a for-profit entity.WhenAMP andCCPAsoughttoexempt the property under the Ohio “public-schoolhouse exemption” law, the Tax Commissioner denied the exemption because of the for-profit nature of the lease. The Board of Tax Appeals, however, reversed that decision. The board concluded that the property was entitled to an exemption based on CCPA’s nonprofit use of the property as a public school. After that, the case came before us. Since its inception in 1998, CCPA has operated as a community school for children in kindergarten through eighth grade. In July 1999, CCPA entered into a lease with AMP, which had bought the property in 1987 for1.3milliondollars.CCPA paid a monthly rent of almost $23,000, and was contractually obligated to pay all real estate taxes and assessments during the lease term.AMP didn’t conduct any other business at the property during the time in question. In writing the majority opinion for our court, JusticeJudithAnnLanzinger said, “This case presents a significant issue that arises in the context of Ohio’s community schools. By statute, a community school ‘is a public school, independent of any school district, and is part of the state’s program of education.’” Since 1852, Ohio law has provided an exemption for “public schoolhouses.”Thatexemptionhasbeen applied to public and private property: to public schools owned and operated by public school districts, and to nonprofit private and parochial schools operated for the publicbenefit. Public school districts usually own their own school buildings. But as a community school, CCPA isn’t owned and operated by any school district, which puts it in a different category. Community schools raise novel issues of exemption because, by law, they qualify as public schools but often operate on privately owned property. WhentheTaxCommissioner reviewed CCPA’s request for an exemption, he determined that although community schools are public schools, the fact that the property is privately owned and is leased to the school underafor-profitleasemakes the property ineligible for tax exemption. Laws that exempt property from tax stand in contrast to the concept of equal rights and so they must be strictly construed. When a property owner applies for an exemption, the burden is on the taxpayer to show that the language of the law “clearly expresses the exemption” in relation to the facts of the claim. Which means that “in all doubtful cases exemption is denied.” Thelawinquestion in this case states that public schoolhouses shall be exempt from taxation, as well as “the books and furniture in them, and the ground attached to them necessary for the proper occupancy, use, and enjoyment of the schoolhouses, and not leased or otherwise usedwithaviewtoprofit.” As Justice Lanzinger noted, the publicschoolhouse exemption was enacted in the wake of the adoption of the new Ohio Constitution in 1851. Before that, “the whole matter of taxation was committed to the discretion of the general assembly.” In a case from 1874, the Ohio Supreme Court determined that the Constitution’sauthorizationofapublic-schoolhouse exemption was applicable only to school buildings that “belong to the public,” and “are designed for the school established and conducted under the authority of the public.” In that same case, our court concluded that the exemption’s reference to public schoolhouses is “not used in the sense of ownership” but rather of the “uses to which the property is devoted,” with the result that the exemption applies to private property used to support instruction that is “for the benefitofthepublic.” The constitutional basis for exempting private property when used as a school lay in the authorization of exemptions for “institutions of purely public charity.” As a result, one of the basic conditions that private property must satisfy to qualify for this exemption is the “exclusion of all idea of privategainorprofit.” In this case, the Tax Commissioner denied AMP’s exemption because the property was subject to a for-profit commercial lease. We agreed with that analysis. Property cannot be exempted from taxation as a public schoolhouse when the owner leases the property to theschoolforprofit. AMP also argued that a commercial lease is irrelevant to the issue of exempt status so long as the entity leasing the property uses it for exempt purposes. That argument raised two questions. First, must ownership and use coincide for a building to qualify as an exempt public schoolhouse?The case from 1874 answered that by declaring that property “appropriated to the support of education forthebenefitofthepublic without any view to profit” qualifiesforexemption.And that standard contains no requirement that the owner be the entity that operates the school. “But property subject to a commercial, forprofit lease is a different matter,” Justice Lanzinger wrote. The second question raised byAMP’s argument is: whose use should be considered? We determined that under the publicschoolhouse exemption, the restriction that the property not be used with a view to profit requires examination of the total use of the property by both the owner and the entity leasing it. If the lease isintendedtogenerateprofit for the owner, the property does not qualify for exemption; similarly, the property doesn’t qualify if the entity leasingitgeneratesaprofit. Therefore, by a seven-to-zerovote,weconcludedthattheBoardofTax Appeals erred by granting a public-schoolhouse exemption for property owned by a commercial landlord and leased to a community school under a for-profit lease. We thus reversed the board’s decision and reinstatedtheTaxCommissioner’s denial of the exemption. Q: When are child support orders terminated? A: A child support order may be terminated for many reasons, including: •Thedeathofeitherthe child or the person paying child support;the child’s marriage; the child’s deportation;and adoption of the child; •Thechild’semancipation (for purposes of child support, a child is “emancipated” when he/she reaches 18 years of age and is not a full-time student, or 19 years of age regardless of school enrollment); •Thechild’senlistment in the armed services when no longer a full-time student; •Achangeinthelegal (court-ordered) custody of the child (for example, if permanent custody is awarded to a public children services agency or a court order terminates the parental rights of the person who has been paying child support). In addition, a Child Support Enforcement Agency (CSEA) may pursue child support termination if the parties to the child support order marry or re-marry one another and no other person has legal custody of the child. A CSEA may pursue termination for the above-listed reasons through the administrative process. If a party wishes to terminate child support for a reason that is not listed above, that termination would have to be pursued privately through the court. Q: How does the CSEA know when to terminate support for my child? A: Both parents are responsible for notifying the CSEA if there is any reason that support should be terminated. While writtennotificationispreferable, either parent may report this information to the CSEA by phone or in person. Within 20 calendar days of receiving this information, the CSEA must complete an investigation to verify it. If the child is near the age of emancipation for child support purposes and neither parent has notified the CSEA that support should be terminated, then the CSEA will complete an investigation near the child’s 18th birthday to determine if the support should continue or be terminated based upon the child’s high school attendance. Q: What if my child is home-schooled or attends an alternative education program? A: Most home-schooling and alternative education programs are state-approved, but the CSEA requires proof of this when notified that a child is receiving this type of schooling.TheCSEAwillconsiderall information from both parties when determining whether support should continue or end. Q: Will the CSEA tell me whether support will continue or end? A: Yes. Once the CSEA has completed an investigation, both parties will receive aNoticeofTerminationofSupport or a Notice of Continuation of Support. If termination is recommended, the notice will include: the reason for the termination;the amount of back child support owed and how much should be paid towards this amount; whether there is still an existing child support order for any remaining “unemancipated” children; and a report of any overpayments that may have been made to the person receiving child support. If the CSEA recommends that support be continued, the notice will include the reason for this decision. Both notices will explain administrative and court hearing rights and how to request a hearing if you do not agree with a decision about your child support. Q: When does support continue after a child reaches 18 years of age? A: There are many reasons why support may continue past the age of 18, including the following: • The child has not yet graduated but still attends a recognized and accredited high school or program; • A court has determined that the child has a mental or physical disability regardless of age and for as long as the disability lasts; • The parents’ separation agreement or divorce or dissolution decree says that child support will continue past the age of emancipation (such as while the child is in college). Q: A court has ordered me to carry medical insurance for my child. Does this obligation end when my child is emancipated for child support purposes? A: Yes. If your child support obligation ends when your child reaches the age of emancipation, you no longer have to carry medical insurance for the child unless your court order says otherwise. If a National Medical Support Notice has been issued to your employer requiring your child to be enrolled in the employer’s plan, then the CSEA must notify your employer that your obligation has ended and that the employer should consult you about whether insurance should stop or continue.

Acting quickly not only gives you more repayment options, it can also significantly lower penalties you might owe the government. By not filing your 2011 federal tax return or asking for an extension by April 17, 2012, the penalty on any taxes you owe increases dramatically – usually an additional 5 percent of taxes owed for each full or partial month you’re late, plus interest, up to a maximum penalty of 25 percent. Butfileyourreturn/extension on time and the penalty drops tenfold to 0.5 percent. Eventually, the IRS could even place a tax lien on your assets and future earnings. IRS tax repayment alternatives include: Pay by credit card. You will be charged a small convenience fee that is taxdeductible if you itemize expenses. Just be sure you can pay off your credit card balance within a few months, or the interest accrued might exceed the penalty. Short-term extension. If you can pay the full amount within 120 days, call theIRSat800-829-1040and ask whether you qualify for a short-term extension.

Irving and Cavs end skid with win body.” The Cavaliers traveled to the Mile High City, where phenomenal Rookie Kyrie Irving reached new heights in leading Cleveland to a 100-99 win over Denver. The win snapped the Cavs’ six-game losing streak and was their first in the season’s “second half” following the All Star Break. Truth be told, four of the six losses had been close, and only an embarrassing 71-point second half defensive collapse against the Knicks and a sleepwalk against the Bulls, had been bad games. The Cavs had hoped to stop the “Lin-sanity” at Madison Square Garden by jumping out to a 12-point 1st half lead, but NY, led by their second team, ramrodded Cleveland after Intermission. Media Darling Jeremy Lin had 19 points and 13 assists and Carmelo Anthony had 22 points, but the Knick’s bench put in a 50 spot. Antawn Jamison had 23 and Irving 22 for the Cavs in the 120-103 debacle. Against the Bulls, with Irving out with the flu, not much went right. Following the 112-91 laugher, Chicago Coach Tom Thibodeau told this reporter, “I’ll admit it, with Irving out, they’re a different team. They miss him, but they have other significant weapons. But, we’ve been playing some very good basketball against every- By KARL BRYANT half. second time in a week, this time it knocked them out of the Big Ten Tournament. OSU had reached the semifinals against the Cornhuskers with a 57-48 quarterfinal win over Michigan. In that one, Carmen Reynolds led the Wolverines with 14 points and Tayler Hill led Ohio State with 19. Big Ten Player of the Year Samantha Prahalis had an off shooting night, but still scored 11 and dished out five assists, which made her the conferences all-time career assist leader. OSU’s ensuing 7762 elimination loss to the Cornhuskers came less than a week after the Buckeyes had lost their regular season finale in Nebraska. OSU had won the last three B1G tourneys. Prahalis led the Buckeyes with 23 points, but was offset by the Cornhuskers two big scorers - Jordan Hooper with 21 and Kaitlyn Burke with 20. Ohio State now awaits By KARL BRYANT Luol Deng led the Bulls with 24 points. AllStar Derrick Rose scored 19 points in only 28 minutes as the Bull’s back-ups put in some serious on-court time. Jamison led the Cavs with 22. After those turkeys,the Cavs lost close games to Washington and Utah, before finally hitting the “W” column against the Nuggets, who currently have the 7th playoff spot in the West. Jamison, who finished with 33 points, had kept the Cavs in the game with good shooting throughout, but Irving took over with the game on the line. He scored 10 of his 18 points in the 4th quarter and made the winning basket The International Boxing Hall of Fame recently announced legendary bantamweight and featherweight champion Ruben “El Puas” Olivares will be among returning Hall of Famers attending the 23rd Annual Hall of Fame Induction Weekend set for June 7-10th in Canastota, NY. Olivares turned pro in 1965 and knocked out his first 23 opponents. “El Puas” twice reigned as world bantamweight champion (1969-70, 1971-72) and went up in weight to win the WBA featherweight crown in 1974 and the WBC version in 1975. Olivares holds wins over Lionel Rose, Chucho Castillo, Jesus Pimentel, Art Hafey and Hall of Famer Bobby Chacon. A superb knockout artist, of his 88 wins, 77 came by way of knockout. Extremely popular in his native Mexico, Olivares was also one of the greatest draws ever at Inglewood’s Fabulous Forum. In 1991 he was elected into the Hall of Fame. with a court-lenth drive to the hoop with four seconds left. He then defended fellow-Rookie Ty Lawson, who also scored 18, on his missed shot at the buzzer.Al Harrington led Denver with 22 points. After the loss to Utah in their last home game, in which the Cavs furiously rallied at the end before losing as the Jazz hit free throws down the stretch, Daniel Gibson had told this reporter, “You know, coach tells us that we have enough talent to win. We have the ability, we just need the resolve for 48 minutes. It’s too hard to turn it on for 6 or 7 minutes and expect to win.” Against Denver, they did it for all 48.Hope it carries over. Buckeye men tie for title, women await bid The Ohio State men’s basketball team stunned Michigan State in East Lansing on the final day of the regular season to earn a portion of the Big Ten Championship. William Buford hit the winning basket with one second left to make Buckeyes Tri-Champions with the Spartans and Michigan – all at 13-5. The Wolverines were quite grateful for Buford’s heroics as it gave Michigan its first title or share since 1986. At one point, Ohio State was behind 24-9 before they started to fight back. They pulled to within nine at intermission and then came out of the lockerroom with renewed resolve. After shooting 25% of their field goals in the 1st half, the Buckeyes made 58% in the 2nd half. Buford led the Buckeyes with 16 of his 25 points in the 2nd OSU took the lead with five minutes left and then went back and forth with MSU until Buford’s final shot. Jared Sullinger scored 14 points and pulled down 10 rebounds for OSU, now ranked No. 7 in the country. A huge loss for the Spartans was second leading rebounder Brandon Dawson, who tore an ACL in the 1st half and will be out for the year. MSU was led by Draymond Green’s 19 points. Green was off with a desperation shot at the buzzer. The Spartans (247) will be the top seed in the Big Ten Tournament. Michigan (23-8) will be second and Ohio State (25-6) will be the 3rd seed in the Big Ten Tournament. All three will have a first round Bye, along with 4th seed, Wisconsin (23-8), and play on Friday. The Buckeye women lost to Nebraska for the Akron, Kent women’s season ends, CSU beats YSU to advance By ANDREW CARTER Kent State and Akron’s Women have finished their basketball season following losses in the Mid-American Conference Tournament. Cleveland State ended Youngstown State’s season in the Horizon League Tournament and advances to the round 2. Kent State (6-21) lost a 1st round game in the MAC Tournament to Ohio University, 58-40. That final score is amazing in itself as OU had a 34-8 lead at the half. 13% shooting in the 1st half will do that to you. Jamie Hutheson scored 16 points for KSU, who committed a whopping 23 turnovers, but made the score somewhat respectable in the 2nd Half. Tenisha Benson led Ohio with 14 points. OU (14-18), coached by former Trinity star Semeka Randall, then lost to Central Michigan, 58-55, in round 2. Crystal Bradford had 17 points for CMU and Tenisha Benson and Mariah Byard scored 13 for OU. Akron lost a heartbreaker to Northern Illinois, 6160, despite outrebounding the Huskies by 22. They committed twice as many turnovers to help even things out. Akron (14-18) was the MAC’s highest scoring team and NIU (14-16) was the league’s lowest scoring team. Courtney Shelton and Amanda Corral each scored 14 points to lead NIU with 14 and Jasmine Mushington led Akron with 17. A shot by Mushington at the buzzer for the win missed. Cleveland State beat Youngstown State, 59-56, as Cori Coleman led the Lady Vikings with 17 points. Kelsey Fickieson led the Penguins with 11. Each team had over 20 turnovers in the sloppily-played game and the difference was CSU making one more three than YSU. The Penguins missed three treys in the final 16 seconds. YSU bows out with a 10-20 record and CSU (12-18) advances to the 2nd round to play Detroit Mercy. an at-large bid for the NCAA tourney, which should be decent, as they are ranked No. 17 in the country. AnthonyParkerfindstheopencameraman,butheandhis teammatesfoundlittleelseduringabeatdownbytheBullstoopen Marchwithalossof112-91.(ESDNPhotobyFrankHyatt) Detroit KO’s YSU and CSU By KARL BRYANT Youngstown State and Cleveland State unluckily ran into a hot team. The Detroit Mercy Titans, putting on a late season surge, came into the Horizon League Tournament on a mission. On consecutive nights last weekend, they eliminated YSU and CSU. In the Mid-American Conference, Akron traveled to neighboring Kent State and beat the Golden Flashes in the regular season finale to go into the MAC Tournament in Cleveland with a league-best record. Youngstown State lost 93-76 to Detroit on Friday night. Warren Harding’s Damien Eargle led the Penguins with 25 points and Ray McCallum, who had a fantastic weekend, led the Titans with 22. Youngstown hit 54% of their shots, but Detroit hit 60%. Although YSU played UDM even in the 2nd half, they were behind 50-34 at intermission, so the Titans were able to notch the comfortable win. That set the stage for the Horizon tourney semifinal, pitting Detroit against the 2nd seed, Cleveland State. Despite D’Aundray Brown, playing his first game in several weeks, coming off the bench to spark CSU, Detroit hit their shots to jump out to an early lead. McCallum, son of Detroit’s Coach by the same name, afterwards related, “Coming into the game, Dad said you have to play with energy and emotion.” UDM, and especially McCallum, certainly did as they moved a 10-point lead with a minute left in the 1st half. An incongruous playground-style play, off a long shot that caromed off the backboard, was batted around by a couple of CSU players, and then was fed by Charlie Lee, the one who tried the wild first shot, to a streaking Tim Kamczyc for a layup to cut Detroit’s lead to 31-25 at the halftime buzzer. Despite the seeming momentum change, the Titans again reclaimed control in the 2nd half, moving to a 12-point lead with 12 minutes left. The Vikings then battled to whittle down the deficit until they tied the game at 49 with three minutes left. Their rally came up short however, as UDM hit 10 of 12 free throws down the stretch to come away with a 63-58 win. The Vikings made only 36% of their shots. They still played tough defense, holding Detroit to 40%. They forced 17 turnovers, but committed 14 themselves. Brown, who had basically missed seven games, during which CSU was 2-5, led the Vikings with 17 points. CSU (22-10) now await a bid to another post-season tournament. The win against CSU proved to be no fluke, as Detroit then went into the championship game to beat No. 1 seed Valparaiso (22-11) on their home court, 70-50. Kevin Van Wijk led Valpo with 17 and the relentless McCallum led UDM with 21. Detroit (22-13) gets the Horizon League’s automatic NCAA berth. Boxing Nostalgia By JIM AMATO Alexis Arguello: ‘Talk Softly But Carry A Big Stick’ One of the best pure punchers of my generation was Alexis Arguello. He was aptly nicknamed “ The Explosive Thin Man “. He was tall and rail thin but his punch could stop an opponent dead in his tracks. Arguello was born on April 19, 1952 in Manaqua, Nicaragua. He died on July, 2009. It’s hard to believe that Alexis was stopped in the very first round of his pro debut in his native Managua, Nicaragua. He would rally to win three straight then lose again. Hardly the makings of a legend. Arguello would reel off 20 straight wins before his next loss.Then came 13 more victories including knockouts over Octavio Gomez and Jose Legra. This led to a shot at the WBA featherweight title in 1974. The champion was the talented Ernesto Marcel of Panama. Arguello lost a 15 round decision. Arguello would rebound to win four in a row Arguello including a stoppage win over rugged Art Hafey of Canada. He again challenged for the WBA featherweight title in 1974. His opponent this time would be legendary Ruben Olivares. In a see saw battle Arguello took Ruben out in round 13 and also took his title. In 1978 Arguello moved up to 130 pounds to take on WBC junior lightweight champion Alfredo Escalera. In a great, great fight Alexis finally halted Escalera in the 13th round to annex that title. Alexis may go down as the best 130 pound champion in history. He would beat Escalera in a classic rematch. He would then go on to beat Bobby Chacon, Rolando Navarette, Bazooka Limon and Boza Edwards. All would win a piece of the junior lightweight title after Arguello left the division. Arguello would move up again and defeat Jim Watt to win the WBC lightweight title in 1981. He would defend that title four times. Among those defenses was his victory over future champion Ray “ Boom Boom “ Mancini. He also nearly decapitated the future trainer of Mike Tyson, Kevin Rooney in a non title fight. Arguello seemed unbeatable and decided to move up in weight again to challenge WBA junior welterweight champion Aaron Pryor. Their November 12, 1982 bout in Miami was one of the most action packed bouts of all time. The fiery Pryor absorbed the bombs of Arguello and finally overwhelmed Alexis to score a brutal knockout in the 14th round. What a fight it was. They would meet again and this time Pryor took Arguello out in ten. It seemed like the end for Arguello but he fought on. Over a year later he would cold cock former champion Billy Costello in the fourth round. Arguello would not fight again for eight years. He would win one and then lose one. Realizing it was no longer there, he retired for good. He ended his 90 bout career with an 82-8 record. Arguello was a class act. He did not verbally assault his opponents. He was a true gentleman. He did what he had to do to win and he did it well. Very well. In the words of former President Teddy Roosevelt he “ Talked softly but carried a big stick .” I think the stick was called his right hand.

As the band matured and progressed, they laid much of the groundwork for the fusion of hip-hop and R&B music known as “new jack swing.” After New Edition drifted apart, all of the members succeededsignificantlyoutsideof the group as part of the new jack movement, which helped ensure that their original incarnation would be remembered for much more than the bubblegum urban soul which made them “New Edition”. Starting up in North East during the 1980’s, the boys were quickly discovered by writer/producer/impresario Maurice Starr, who signed the group to his small Streetwise label in hopes of launching a revamped Jackson 5 phenomenon for the ’80s. The boys quickly became pop icons and as their fame grew, the boys grew into men and began singing with a harder-edged funk and produced more mature romantic ballads.
