WASHINGTON (AP) — Approaching a likely presidential
campaign announcement next month, Hillary Rodham Clinton
said Monday that income inequality and wage stagnation are
problems that go hand-in-hand and the nation needs creative
solutions to bolster job opportunities and living conditions in
the cities.
Clinton, at a discussion about urban areas, cited the benefits of
partnerships between the private and public sectors and updated
policies to improve social mobility.
The policy event offered a preview of economic themes she is
likely to address in a campaign.
“We need to think hard about what we’re going to do now that
people are moving back into and staying in cities to make sure
that our cities are not just places of economic prosperity and job
creation on average,” Clinton said. “But do it in a way that lifts
everybody up to deal with the overriding issues of inequality and
lack of mobility.”
Her appearance at the Center for American Progress, a Democratic think tank founded by allies of her husband, former President Bill Clinton, offered no new clues on the timing of her
announcement, but plenty of presidential atmospherics.
Clinton was joined by Housing Secretary Julian Castro, considered a potential running mate for Clinton by some Democrats,
and the heads of a public workers union and teachers union, two
of Clinton’s most ardent labor allies.
Neera Tanden, a former Hillary Clinton policy adviser, is
president of the center and moderated the discussion while the
think tank’s founder, John Podesta, sat in the front row.
Podesta, a former Bill Clinton chief of staff, is expected to
take a senior position in Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. Clinton later met with President Barack Obama at the
White House, where the two discussed “a range of topics,” the
White House said.
Many Democrats support boosting wages and household
income and argue that many families have yet to benefit from an
improving job market. Liberals, led most visibly by Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, say the party has become too intertwined with Wall Street and needs bold strategies to address
inequality.
Republicans say Clinton’s message will ring hollow after she
spent months earning six-figure fees for speaking engagements
and stumbled during last year’s book tour, when she said her
family was “dead broke” when it left the White House.
“What voter out there struggling to make ends meet can relate
to someone who spends millions flying around on private jets
and thinks leaving the White House with a multi-million dollar
book deal counts as being ‘dead broke?’” said Michael Short, a
spokesman for the Republican National Committee.
Clinton said economic problems have been acutely felt by
young people, with more than 5 million people between the ages
of 16 and 24 not in school or employed and in need of job skills
and training.
She urged leaders to get out of their “ideological bunkers” and
said they could learn from the work of one panelist, Mayor Aja
Brown of Compton, Calif., on curbing gang violence.
“Don’t be surprised if you get a call to come and maybe we’ll
start not too far from here in a beautiful domed building,” Clinton
said to laughter, referring to the U.S. Capitol. “Get everybody in
the same room and start that conversation that could lead to collaboration and better results for our cities and our country.”
Joined at the event by Lee Saunders of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees and Randi Weingarten of the American Federation of Teachers, Clinton made no
mention of a trade proposal backed by Obama called the TransPacific Partnership. Some labor unions worry she might support
the initiative, which they see as undermining jobs, environmental
standards and worker rights. They call it “NAFTA on steroids” in
a reference to the North American trade pact Clinton’s husband
piloted with Canada and Mexico in the 1990s.
Clinton ended the day at an awards ceremony honoring the
legacy of Robin Toner, the first woman to serve as national political correspondent for The New York Times. Toner, who died in
December 2008, covered Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign and the Clinton White House.
Hillary Clinton joked that her relationship with the press “has
been at times, shall we say, complicated.” She quipped that she
was all about “new beginnings,” including a new grandchild,
“another new hairstyle” and a “new email account.” She did not
take questions from reporters at the event.
It was the final event on her public schedule for the rest of
March.

series of upcoming workshops. Traditional healer aims to bridge
spiritual divide in patient’s care
by COLIN M. STEWART, Hawaii Tribune-Herald
HILO, Hawaii (AP) — From the time he was
a boy, Kahuna Lapaau (Master Healer) Ikaika
Dombrigues knew that he would spend his life
serving the people of Hawaii.
“My kupuna said I was chosen from a young
age. From there, going through life was like
a destiny,” he said. “Not like I went out and
advertised or solicited myself. Word from them
is, all you have to do is sit there and they (the
people) will find you. . It is God’s work. Everything comes from a spiritual point of view. If he
selects you to be the one to do the work, you just
have to be ready for it.”
Everything he does comes from a place of
deep faith, he said, and his goals are simple, yet
epic in scope.
“I want to heal our people, I want to heal
Hawaii. And the world,” he said.
Dombrigues, a resident of the Pahoa area,
serves as Poo Kela, or mayor, of the kupuna
council for Hui Malama Ola Na Hui Malama
Ola Na Oiwi, Hawaii Island’s branch of the
Hawaiian Health Care System.
As such, he helps to refer clients to traditional
healers, and offers his own expertise to Big
Island residents seeking traditional Hawaiian
health care services for the mind, body and
spirit, the Hawaii Tribune-Herald reported.
He is unequivocal in his discussion of
Hawaiian health traditions as they relate to the
modern world: “We are not ‘alternative medicine.’ We’ve been doing this for hundreds of
years. Western medicine is the alternative
medicine.”
However, he said, most traditional healers
are willing to work in conjunction with Western
physicians.
Because of insurance and legal concerns, traditional healing services are provided purely on
an informational basis, leaving treatment up to
individuals, explained Michelle Hiraishi, executive director at Hui Malama.
“When Uncle Ikaika does one-to-one services, it is educational services, it is not treatment,” she said. “Traditional healers cannot be
certified, and if they cannot be certified, malpractice insurance cannot cover them, and if
malpractice insurance can’t cover them, then no
insurance is going to cover them.
“So always, Uncle Ikaika will say, ‘In the
past, Hawaiians used this plant for this type of
thing. Now you do with it what you want.’ . He
will always tell, ‘Go to your doctor, too. Let it
be complementary.’”
Dombrigues said he has butted heads with
doctors at times, but he believes the two philosophies can work together to make people feel
better.
“Why can’t we bridge?” he asked. “The doctors, their job is to monitor the patient. If the
patient wants to use herbs, between Western
medicines, he’ll use the herbs.
“Then, he goes back to the doctor, and the
doctor’s job, because they have all the technology, all the facilities, the machines, to
say ‘Oh, by using these herbs, you’re getting
better.’ Then they come back to me and they
say, ‘Whatever you’re using is helping. Stay
on it.’”
As for his own efficacy as a healer, Dombrigues said that he has a gift bestowed upon
him by his ancestor, the god Lono, which allows
him to counsel and heal people. But, that gift
can only help if a patient has faith.
“I would say 95 or 90 percent (of illnesses
are) spiritual,” he said. “If (treatment isn’t)
working, it’s because you’re not believing.
You do not have faith. Herbs can heal you.
Herbs can kill you.
“In our tradition in healing, once you have
doubt, it will never work. You have to be
willing and faithful that the herbs is going to
help. If you have any doubt in any way, it ain’t
going to work at all. . Faith is the core of the
healing process.”
Unfortunately, he said, modern Hawaii residents have largely turned away from traditional
Hawaiian methods and ways of living, which
has made our culture, bodies, spirits and minds
sick. In an effort to spread the word about traditional methods, Dombrigues will hold five free
workshops around the island to give people an
overview of the subject.
In the workshops, he will touch upon the four
major areas of traditional healing, including
Hooponopono, or problem resolving; Laau
Lapaau, or healing with native Hawaiian herbs;
Lomi Lomi Ha Ha, or spiritual massage; and
Laau Kahea, or spiritual healing.

BYU donates baseball, softball equipment to ASBA
By Jeff Hayner, Samoa News Reporter
The American Samoa Baseball Association
(ASBA) recently received four pallets of donated
baseball and softball equipment from Brigham Young
University (BYU) for the overall improvement of our
local boys and girls baseball and softball programs.
The donation was spearheaded by BYU Assistant
Athletic Director Brian Santiago, BYU Baseball
Head Coach Mike Littlewood, Baseball Assistant
Coach and Recruiting Coordinator Brent Haring and
BYU Softball Head Coach Gordon Eakin.
The donation was gratefully accepted by ASBA
and American Samoa National Olympic Committee
President J. Victor Langkilde. With the support and
assistance from volunteers in the American Samoa
and Utah communities along with Mike and Rene
(Tago) Felise and Native American Samoans residing
in Utah, the equipment was packed, shipped and
delivered to ASBA last week, he was told.

According to Langkilde, in December of 2014,
the American Samoa-Utah group came together to
consolidate, pack and move the equipment. He stated
that the Paul Soliai Foundation generously assisted
the inland transport of the donated equipment from
Provo, Utah to the West coast.
“Much appreciation is extended to BYU Assistant Baseball Coach/Recruiting Coordinator Brent
Haring, who initiated the effort and has supported
American Samoa’s baseball programs over the past
five years,” said Langkilde. He added that he wanted
to give a special thank you to BYU Softball Head
Coach Gordon Eakin and BYU Baseball Head Coach
Mike Littlewood for providing American Samoa with
loads of game equipment, and extra thanks to BYU
Athletics for the generous donation of game t-shirts.
“The equipment sent to American Samoa will help
continue the progress of building the baseball and
softball programs along with developing baseball and
softball athletes,” he said.
The specific equipment received in the donation
were baseballs, softballs, fielding gloves, batters
gloves, catcher’s gear, equipment bags, bats, helmets,
game shirts and cleats.
This coming August, BYU plans to visit American
Samoa and work with the ASNOC to conduct baseball, softball and basketball clinics and camps for the
local youth. The public will be invited to the camps
and will be informed with more specific details
regarding the visit as the time approaches.
“American Samoa thanks BYU for their love and
support for our athletes and its programs — especially with the lack of resources we have to conduct
training and development. here. May God Bless BYU
and all of the people who made all this generous support possible,” said Langkilde.

Proposal to owners: order
unstable players off field
PHOENIX (AP) — Millions of viewers and
thousands of fans saw a wobbly Julian Edelman
remain in the Super Bowl.
After looking at video of that situation and
several similar ones, the NFL’s powerful competition committee is proposing a change.
NFL owners are considering a proposal to
stop games when a medical adviser sees a player
displaying obvious signs of disorientation.
The suggestion was a late addition by the
committee at the owners’ meetings that began
Monday. It would allow a medical spotter
upstairs to communicate with the officiating crew
when a player appears unstable. The game would
be halted to remove the player, who then would
undergo sideline examination at the very least.
“We got the (medical) spotters, they’ve got a
really good vantage point, they’ve got technology
in their booth, they’re communicating pretty well
with our trainers and doctors and we’ve got a
pretty good rhythm going there,” Rich McKay,
co-chairman of the committee and president of
the Atlanta Falcons, said.
“Why would we miss a play where a player
should have come out of the game?”
The player’s team would be allowed to substitute for him, and the opposite team also would be
given a chance to change personnel.
That is one of two dozen proposals and rules
changes being considered by the owners in a
busy agenda.
Other suggested changes include using instant
replay for reviewing all penalties called by game
officials, yes, pass interference and holding calls,
too; all personal fouls; penalties against defenseless players; any foul that results in an automatic
first down; and clock issues.
New England even proposed that everything
except scoring plays or turnovers be challengeable, and Washington suggested increasing a
coach’s number of challenges from two to three,
regardless of whether he is successful on an
early challenge.
Owners will vote on some of the proposals
in the next two days, with several likely being
tabled until the next major meetings in May.
Rams coach Jeff Fisher explained why the
competition committee does not endorse using
replay for penalties.
“The committee’s position for years has been
to oppose involving fouls in replay for a lot of different reasons,” he said. “We’ve looked at a lot of
tape this offseason, we looked at the fouls particularly relating to hits on defenseless players. We
had 27 of them this year, we looked at them as a
group. We could not agree on a number of them.
“That’s just the nature of the standard in
replay.”
Fisher added that the league’s officiating
department will review fouls on a Monday and
can take “20-30 minutes, maybe an hour, to
determine whether it was in fact a foul. So you
can see the issues that we’re going to have if we
involve those things in replay.”
One alteration not coming is to change the
catch-no catch parameters. That has been a particularly hot topic since the NFC playoff game in
which Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant had a catch
near the Green Bay goal line late in the fourth
quarter reversed to an incompletion.
Vice president of officiating Dean Blandino
explained that the language within the rule is
being tweaked for clarification. But the process
required for a catch is not being changed.
“For years the requirements for a catch — the
way it was communicated in the rule book — is
control, both feet (in bounds) and then, after that,
the receiver had to have the ball long enough to
perform an act common to the game,” Blandino
said. “That was defined as being able to pitch it,
pass it, clearly advance the ball as a runner.”
That created confusion, which Blandino
believes will be eliminated by changing the
wording. “So in order to complete a catch, the
receiver has to have control, both feet on the
ground and he has to have it after that long enough
to clearly establish himself as a runner,” he said.
Also Monday:
—The league eliminated local TV blackouts
of games for next season.
There were no blackouts last season, because
the minimum number of tickets, by NFL sellout
standards, was sold for every game, and the
league had only two blackouts in 2013.
Still, the experiment is a huge step for the
NFL, whose blackout policy dates back decades.
Some teams — Tampa, Miami, Jacksonville,
Oakland, St. Louis and San Diego — have struggled to avoid blackouts, and the league is taking
a bit of a gamble for 2015.
—The Oct. 25 game in London between Buffalo and Jacksonville will be streamed live internationally. The experiment, which will start at
9:30 a.m. ET, means the game won’t be shown
on television outside of the local teams’ markets.
—Foreign sites are being considered for the
Pro Bowl.
Next year’s game will be played in Honolulu.
Beyond that, just about anywhere seems to be in
play, including Brazil.
“For 2017 and beyond, we are studying the
future of the Pro Bowl.
“Brazil, an area with a growing number of
NFL fans, as a possible host is one of the ideas
that seems to hold a lot of appeal for additional
analysis,” NFL spokesman Michael Signora said.

fifa pres. Blatter slams politicians
calling for World Cup boycotts
VIENNA (AP) — FIFA President Sepp Blatter hit out at unnamed
lawmakers for wanting boycotts of the 2018 World Cup in Russia
and the 2022 event in Qatar. “Football should be united, sport should
be united when it comes to boycotts,” Blatter said at the UEFA congress on Tuesday. “Boycotts have never had any results.”
Ukraine President Petro Proshenko last week urged allies to
boycott football’s marquee event in Russia, and other politicians
have also questioned the Qatar event amid allegations of corruption and poor labor conditions.
Blatter was stung when he last faced UEFA at a pre-World Cup
meeting in June in Sao Paulo, but this time he was greeted with a
respectful applause by delegates from the 54 member states.
Blatter didn’t spend a single word on the FIFA presidential
election in May, when he stands for re-election for a fifth term.
Blatter turned down UEFA’s invitation to make a campaign
speech alongside his rivals, which include FIFA vice president
Prince Ali bin al-Hussein of Jordan, Portugal great Luis Figo, and
Dutch football federation president Michael van Praag. The trio was
scheduled to present their plans for FIFA’s future later Tuesday.
Blatter praised IOC President Thomas Bach and the president of
the German football federation, Wolfgang Niersbach, for voicing
their outspoken rejection of any calls for World Cup boycotts.
Blatter also called for further action against the “evils of football,” like doping and match-fixing.
Man sentenced in killing of
former pro baseball player
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A man convicted of killing former
professional baseball player Rodney Craig when both men were
homeless in downtown Los Angeles has been sentenced to 16
years to life in state prison. Billy Morales was sentenced Monday
in the August 2013 killing at a homeless encampment.
Prosecutors say Craig was living on the street and trying to stay
at the encampment when other transients kicked him out. As Craig
left, he reportedly tried to kick a dog.
Authorities say Morales chased Craig and stabbed him once
in the chest. Craig, an outfielder, played in four big-league seasons between 1979 and 1986 with the Seattle Mariners, Cleveland
Indians and Chicago White Sox.
Mo’ne Davis: Reinstate baseball
player after offensive tweet
NEW YORK (AP) — Mo’ne Davis believes in second chances,
even for the college baseball player kicked off his team after
sending an offensive tweet about the Little League World Series
phenom. Davis told ESPN on Monday she emailed Bloomsburg
University in Pennsylvania to request it reinstate first baseman
Joey Casselberry. He called her a crude name while criticizing the
Disney Channel for making a movie about her.
Davis says “everyone makes mistakes” and adds: “It hurt on my
part, but I know he’s hurt even more. If it was me, I would want to
take that back. I know how hard he’s worked. Why not give him
a second chance?” Bloomsburg University says it “stands firm”
on the decision while appreciating her “level of maturity.” At 13,
Davis was the first girl to earn a win and pitch a shutout in the
Little League World Series last summer.
UNC players leave bench
early during celebration
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — Some North Carolina players
ran onto the court before the final horn sounded of their buzzerbeating 86-84 victory over Ohio State on Monday night in the
second round of the NCAA Tournament. The Tar Heels won it on
a jumper by Jamie Cherry with 0.6 seconds remaining. After her
18-footer swished through, a handful of Tar Heels ran from the
bench onto the court in celebration as the Buckeyes inbounded the
ball but didn’t get a final shot off before the buzzer.
According to Rule 10, Sect. 4, Article 7 of the NCAA rulebook,
such a delay in a game shall be ignored “when the delay does not
interfere with play.”After the horn, the 3 officials huddled at midcourt then went to the table and said there wasn’t any interference.
“The rule was enforced correctly,” said June Courteau, who is
the NCAA women’s basketball national coordinator of officiating.
Sweden gives man 10 years for
killing rival in soccer fight
STOCKHOLM (AP) — A Swedish court has sentenced a
29-year-old soccer fan to 10 years in prison for causing the death
of a supporter of a rival club during a fight before a league game
last year. The Scania and Blekinge Court of Appeal found the
Helsingborg supporter guilty of “assault and involuntary manslaughter” on Monday after studying audio and video recordings
of a brawl in the club’s home town on March 30, 2014.
The game between Helsingborg and Djurgarden was called off
in the 41st minute with the score 1-1 after word spread that a fan
injured in the fighting had died. Hooligan clashes are common in
Sweden, but it was the first fatal fan violence since 2002, when a
26-year-old man was killed in Stockholm during fighting.

3 Iowa wrestlers suspended after arrest
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Three University of Iowa wrestlers
have been suspended indefinitely after being arrested last week in
eastern Iowa. Marion police lieutenant Scott Elam on Monday said
an officer stopped freshmen Seth Gross, Ross Lembeck and Logan
Ryan on March 18 after the car Lembeck was driving matched the
description of one suspected to be connected to a theft in the area.
Lembeck was charged with drunken driving. Gross was given
a citation for open container and for interference with official acts.
All three were charged with possession of alcohol underage. Coach
Tom Brands says he will use the university’s student code of conduct as a guide to address the matter. Efforts to reach the wrestlers
were unsuccessful. It wasn’t clear if they have hired attorneys.
NFL considers foreign sites for Pro Bowl
PHOENIX (AP) — The NFL is considering foreign sites for
the Pro Bowl. Next year’s game will be played in Honolulu, the
frequent site for the all-star matchup, and will be held Jan. 31, the
Sunday before the Super Bowl. Beyond that, just about anywhere
seems to be in play. “The 2016 Pro Bowl will be played in Hawaii
... and we are very excited about that,” NFL spokesman Michael
Signora said Monday. “For 2017 and beyond, we are studying the
future of the Pro Bowl.
“Brazil, an area with a growing number of NFL fans, as a possible host is one of the ideas that seems to hold a lot of appeal for
additional analysis.” Brazilian interest in the sport has ramped up
in recent years, particularly in television viewership.
The story was initially reported by Fox Sports.com.
Pats owner believes LA will
have 2 teams within next year
PHOENIX (AP) — New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft
says he believes the NFL will have two teams in the Los Angeles
area within the next year.
“I don’t think it’s good that we’ve let a generation of fans,
young kids, grow up without a team. It’s not good for the NFL,”
Kraft said at the NFL owners’ meetings in Phoenix. “I really
believe within the next year we’ll have two teams in this market.
... We have some real good options.”
He didn’t say which teams might wind up there, although speculation is the Rams, Chargers and Raiders are prime candidates.
St. Louis owner Stan Kroenke has designed a Los Angeles-area
stadium for two clubs — with two home locker rooms, identical
sets of office space and two owners’ suites.
Kroenke doesn’t need to partner with a second team to finance
the $1.86 billion venue in Inglewood, but the league considers
Los Angeles a two-team market and wants a stadium that could
accommodate both, the Los Angeles Times reported.
His plan competes with one by the Chargers and Raiders,
who have announced plans for a $1.7 billion stadium in suburban
Carson if they don’t get new stadiums in their current hometowns.
Teen charged in Australian’s

adult. Chancey Luna is charged with first-degree murder in the
August 2013 shooting death of 22-year-old Christopher Lane.
The Duncan Banner reports that Luna’s attorneys said in court
documents filed Friday that a potential sentence of life in prison
either with or without the possibility of parole would be unconstitutionally cruel and unusual punishment. A gag order prohibits
attorneys from commenting publicly on the case.
Lane, of Melbourne, Australia, was a member of the East
Central University baseball team in Ada when he was gunned
down while jogging during a trip to visit his girlfriend’s parents
in Duncan.
South African judge convicts
retired tennis champion of rape
JOHANNESBURG (AP) — A judge in South Africa on
Monday convicted Bob Hewitt, a former Grand Slam tennis champion, of raping and sexually assaulting three girls whom he had
been coaching. The assaults occurred decades ago, according to
the victims who are now grown women.
Judge Bert Bam granted bail of about $840, which Hewitt’s
wife, Delaille, paid. The judge did not say why the bail amount
was so low. A sentencing hearing was scheduled in a Pretoria court
for April 17. Until then he must mostly remain in South Africa’s
Eastern Cape province, where he lives, the judge ruled. Hewitt
can also visit his daughter, who lives in Johannesburg. Police will
confiscate Hewitt’s passport from his home on Wednesday.
The charges stemmed from events in the 1980s and 1990s, prosecutors said. Hewitt, who is 75 years old, had denied the charges.
The judge rejected an application by Hewitt’s attorney, Terry
Price, to postpone sentencing so the defense can prepare a psychologist’s report that it plans to use in its argument for leniency
at the sentencing hearing.
South African courts have in the past handed down life sentences for, said Velekhaya Mgobhozi, spokesman for the National
Prosecuting Authority. There is no statute of limitations for these
crimes, he said.

Top-ranked Kentucky’s toughest
foe just might be... Kentucky…
LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Good teams have
tried various ways to beat Kentucky. The game
plans have included getting physical with them,
trying to force the unbeaten Wildcats to take
jump shots, double-teaming post players, playing
up-tempo so Kentucky can’t set its defense,
pressing them.
These tactics and others have worked to some
extent in box scores, just not on the scoreboard.
No matter who Kentucky plays or how well
they play, the consensus seems to be if the Wildcats play to their potential, they won’t lose.
That makes Kentucky’s toughest opponent,
well, Kentucky.
Fifth-seeded West Virginia might be Kentucky’s stiffest challenge so far, with the Mountaineers expected to try and use their defensive
pressure and physicality to derail the Wildcats
(36-0) in Thursday night’s NCAA Tournament
regional semifinal in Cleveland.
One of the burning questions in college basketball this season is how to beat Kentucky.
The answer seems to rest with the Wildcats. For
Kentucky to lose with its length, depth and experience, it feels like each player in John Calipari’s
nine-deep rotation needs to have an off night.
It’s possible, just seems unlikely it’ll happen in
the same game. “The good news is there’s enough
guys that, if two or three aren’t playing well, we
can still survive,” the Kentucky coach said after
watching his team shoot just 37 percent and get outrebounded 45-38 by Cincinnati, and still advance
to the Sweet 16 with a 64-51 win on Saturday.
Calipari isn’t just spewing coach speak, the
stats back up his observation.
Eight of the nine players in the rotation are
averaging between 5.8 and 11.1 points per game.
Eight different players have been Kentucky’s
leading scorer this season.
Even when a team has some in-game success
against Kentucky, Calipari has enough talent to
mix and match lineups until he finds a combination that works. Having “reinforcements,” as the
coach calls them, has also succeeded in wearing
down opponents.
“Every team always plays us with different
strategies,” 6-11 freshman Karl-Anthony Towns
said. “Everyone has different stuff they do. We
don’t get much time to scout and we just have to
get into the groove while the game is going on.
You just feel them out. That’s how it always is.”
Cincinnati tried to take the physical route, but
the Wildcats’ height and length makes beating
them up a difficult proposition.
The approach did help the Bearcats beat the
Wildcats on the offensive glass. Florida also
played Kentucky tough in two regular-season
meetings, forcing the Wildcats to fight through
several bodies on the way to the basket. The teams
exposed an area of vulnerability for the Wildcats
— defensive rebounding. But with five frontcourt
players 6-foot-9 or taller on the roster, Kentucky’s
size allows them to overcome the deficiency.
Against Cincinnati the Wildcats had nine blocks
including six in the second half, several 50-50 situations and a lot of contested shots as the Bearcats
shot 32 percent and committed 14 turnovers.
Teams have also tried to show they’re not
intimidated with a lot of chatter when the game
starts, something very noticeable against Cincinnati and Arkansas.
“A lot of teams want to do that,” said junior
7-footer Willie Cauley-Stein, whose two-handed
slam dunk over Cincinnati’s Quadri Moore late in
the first half was the turning point for Kentucky.
“But with our guys and the way we play and the
way we are all for each other, there is kind of a
barrier around us. You just kind of laugh at it. I
would do the same thing. . I mean, you’ve got to
do something. You got to try something.”
The Wildcats have enough guard play to break
through full-court presses.
Kentucky point guards Andrew Harrison
and Tyler Ulis combined for 12 assists and just
two turnovers in the championship game of the
Southeastern Conference Tournament. West Virginia (25-9) likes to use its disruptive defense to
create turnovers. The Mountaineers succeeded
in forcing 23 turnovers with 15 steals in Sunday
night’s 69-59 win over Maryland.
Kentucky also has used its athleticism and
size to turn the table on opponents.
“If you turn the ball over against them, they
are great at finishing because they’ve got eight
or nine guys that are pro prospects,” Cincinnati
associate head coach Larry Davis said, “and
they’re going to go finish it on you if you turn it
over and get it in open court.”
None of that fazes Mountaineers coach Bob
Huggins, who acknowledged the tall challenge
but offered no hints of how his team will try to
meet it.
“I can tell you that we’re not going to be
scared,” said Huggins, who’s 8-2 against Calipari.
Not many teams have been “scared” of
Kentucky — though all have been overmatched
in the end.
“You’re going to have to be the better team
for 40 minutes,” Hampton coach Edward Joyner
Jr. said after his team’s 79-56 opening-round loss
to Kentucky. “You don’t have to go in being the
best team, you have to be the best team for that
night. But it’s going to take a great 40 minutes to
beat those guys.”
Translation: If anyone beats Kentucky, they’ll
need a major assist from the Wildcats.

Dear Abby
by Abigail Van Buren
MOM WITH BREAST CANCER DOES NOT NEED SHIELDING FROM LIFE
DEAR ABBY: My wife has stage 4 breast cancer. She is only 51, and our most optimistic prognosis is
three to four more years. Our children, 15 and 16, understand her disease, but don’t really have a sense
of how much longer we all have together.
Recently we went out to dinner, and the kids started talking about my retirement plans and their
college plans. Later that night, my wife told me how sad it was hearing the kids talk about things she
knows she will never see.
I have been debating whether I should have a talk with the kids and perhaps suggest they avoid
subjects that make their mother sad. What do you think? -- NOT TALKING ABOUT THE FUTURE
DEAR NOT TALKING: Before talking to your children, I think you should talk to your wife. Although
your instinct is to protect her, I don’t think you can. Sadness in her situation is normal. I’m sure if you
were to ask her if she’d prefer the kids censor their remarks in front of her, she would tell you she wants
to hear everything she can about what they are thinking.
When people have a terminal illness, they have a right to be sad when contemplating the things they
will be missing -- in your wife’s case it will be seeing her children get married, her grandchildren and
more. Let your children express themselves fully with their mother, and if she’s having a bad/sad day,
listen and let her unburden herself. A joy shared is twice a joy, and a burden shared is half a burden.
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
DEAR ABBY: As a gift, my boyfriend, “Seth,” gave me a Chihuahua puppy. I like dogs, but have
never expressed a desire to have one. In fact, I have repeatedly mentioned my dislike for small dogs
and that I wouldn’t have a dog due to my travel schedule for work. I’d have to pay for food, veterinary
care, toys, boarding, etc., and the dog would be alone in my apartment all day while I’m at the office.
Seth still chose to give me one. When I refused his gift, he yelled and left. My friends think I was rude,
and that Seth was sweet for buying me a puppy. I tried explaining to them, but they were sarcastic and
mean about my decision not to accept the dog.
This isn’t the first time something like this has happened with Seth. For my birthday he bought me a
smartphone, signed me up for a two-year contract and expected me to pay the monthly bill. I refused
that, too. Am I wrong? -- SIMPLE GIRL IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
DEAR SIMPLE GIRL: You and Seth appear to have a serious disconnect when it comes to communication. Is this the only area of your relationship in which he is tone-deaf? Your boyfriend seems to
be the master of the “grand gesture,” with no thought about the responsibilities his generous gifts will
impose on the recipient.
Because you told him clearly that you dislike small dogs, he should not have forced one on you. In
fact, he shouldn’t have given you any living, breathing dependent creature without first having made
sure it would be welcomed. You did the right thing -- the humane thing -- in not accepting the animal.

a half-game ahead of Charlotte
for the final playoff spot in the
Eastern Conference. The Hornets lost 98-86 at Chicago.
Tyler Zeller and Kelly
Olynyk each had 18 points for
Boston, which bounced back
from a 105-97 overtime loss
to Detroit at home on Sunday.
Coach Brad Stevens said he felt
his players tightened up in that
game, but they had a mostly
stress-free second half Monday
after quickly pulling away in
the third quarter.
Brook Lopez scored 31
points for the Nets, who had won
two in a row to give themselves
renewed playoff hopes. But they
endured bad nights all over the
roster, from Joe Johnson (3 for
11) to Jarrett Jack (1 for 9) to
Alan Anderson (2 for 9).

CHICAGO (AP) — Nikola
Mirotic scored 14 of his 28
points in the fourth quarter, and

rebounds as Chicago moved into
a tie with Toronto for third in
the Eastern Conference. Jimmy
Butler added 19 in his return to
the lineup after missing 11 games
with a sprained left elbow.
The Bulls played without
center Joakim Noah, who was
scratched because of general
soreness, but managed to bounce
back from an ugly 107-91 loss
at Detroit on Saturday. Kemba
Walker had 29 points and Mo
Williams scored 15 for the Hornets, who were without Cody
Zeller (right shoulder) and shot
just 34.6 percent from the field.

points in the fourth quarter, and
the Rockets handed the Pacers

four of five. Indiana’s sinking
playoff hopes took another big
hit despite 23 points from C.J.
Watson. George Hill had 20
points for the Pacers (30-40).
Harden, one of the favorites for
the NBA MVP award, was 10 of
21 from the field and 21 for 22

Bargnani had 18 and reserve
Jason Smith finished with 16.
The Knicks grabbed their
first lead of the game on Galloway’s 3-pointer with 10:31 left
in the third, but the Grizzlies

run. Randolph’s driving layup
gave Memphis a 74-61 lead
