COLUMBUS — The Ohio Department of Transportation is launching a $2.4 billion investment in transportation construction, which will include the state’s first ever public-private partnership. It’s all part of Gov. John R. Kasich’s Jobs and Transportation Plan, which is in its third year, to advance some of the state’s largest projects. ODOT’s 2015 construction season includes a state record 990 projects — up 50 from 2014. The state’s first-ever public-private partnership — or P3 — begins construction in Scioto County this spring. The Portsmouth Gateway Group is set to build a $429 million, 16-mile highway that will be the state’s largest, modern earthwork project to date. The Portsmouth Bypass is a four-lane limited access highway from U.S. Route 23 north of Lucasville to U.S. Route 52 near Sciotoville. It is designed to complete the missing link of the Appalachian Highway System in Ohio and fuel economic development in the region. “New interchanges and wider roads are the focus of this year’s construction season,” said ODOT Director Jerry Wray. “While our number one priority is to maintain what we already have, this year’s projects place a strong emphasis on improving the economy, safety and overall quality of life in Ohio.” Highlights of ODOT’s construction program include: š�(/-�Xh_Z][�WdZ�Ykbl[hj�fhe`[Yji�jejWb_d]��)/.� million; š�(-.�fWl[c[dj�fhe`[Yji�jejWb_d]��+()�c_bb_ed1 š�('/�iW\[jo�fhe`[Yji�jejWb_d]��(+&�c_bb_ed1 š�).�cW`eh�YedijhkYj_ed�fhe`[Yji�jejWb_d]�ceh[� than $1 billion; š�'/�Yekdjo�Xh_Z][�h[fbWY[c[dji�j^hek]^�=el$� Kasich’s Bridge Partnership Program.

The funding will benefit public and private landowners in 17 southeast Ohio counties. The U.S. Forest Service, Natural Resources Conservation Service and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources are pledging their support to Oak Management in the Ohio Appalachian Mountains. On public lands, this project will fund the control of invasive plants like ailanthus (tree of heaven) that directly compete with native forest trees, as well as treatments that will improve conditions in forest stands with high potential for oak regen- eration. Prescribed burning will also be conducted to help young oak and hickory trees thrive and grow. On private lands, funds for the USDA-NRCS Environmental Quality Incentives Program, a voluntary program that provides financial and technical assistance to agricultural and forestry producers, will be available to manage oak on private lands that have a forest stewardship plan in place. Treatments will focus on the control of invasive plants and competing native hardwoods to promote oak regeneration. NRCS administers EQIP with the ODNR Division of Forestry providing technical assistance to interested private woodland owners. Assistance from USDA-Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service will help address a growing population of feral swine across both private and public lands. “By leveraging the technical and financial resources of State and Federal agencies in Ohio, as well as a diverse group of partners, this coordinated effort is helping to restore lands across large landscapes that include both public and private landowners,” said Forest Supervisor Anthony Scardina. Terry Cosby, Ohio’s NRCS state conservationist said, “People may be surprised to learn that 73 percent of the land within the Wayne National Forest proclamation boundary is privately owned and interspersed within the Forest boundaries. This clearly demonstrates the need to work with private landowners within the Forest if we want to significantly impact overall forest health, which is the goal of this project.” “We are pleased to work with the many partners involved with this effort to improve forest management and wildlife habitat in the Appalachian areas of Ohio,” said Robert Boyles, ODNR Deputy Director, State Forester and Chief of the ODNR Division of Forestry. “Ohio’s Forest Action Plan provides evidence that oak-hickory forests are declining, and this is a trend that we are committed to reversing due to the unique qualities of oak forests for timber, wildlife habitat and other woodland benefits.” Nationally, in support of the agencies’ Chiefs’ Joint Landscape Restoration Partnership, nearly $10 million this year is being invested in 15 projects across the nation to help mitigate wildfire threats to communities and landowners, protect water quality and supply and improve wildlife habitat for atrisk species. Funding for this initiative was made possible by the 2014 Farm Bill. The 2014 Farm Bill builds on historic economic gains in rural America over the past five years, while achieving meaningful reform and billions of dollars in savings for taxpayers. Since enactment, USDA has made significant progress to implement each provision of this critical legislation, including providing disaster relief to farmers and ranchers; strengthening risk management tools; expanding access to rural credit; funding critical research; establishing innovative publicprivate conservation partnerships; developing new markets for rural-made products; and investing in infrastructure, housing and community facilities to help improve quality of life. GOP offers $3.8T Holzer recognizes Pediatric Fund sponsor budget that boosts defense, cuts others By David Espo and Andrew Taylor Associated Press WASHINGTON — House Republicans launched a boldly conservative 10-year budget plan on Tuesday that would favor the Pentagon, partially privatize Medicare and rely on deep cuts in other social programs to help wipe out deficits at the end of a decade. A little more than four months after winning their largest majority in 70 years, Republicans promised an overhaul of the federal tax code and called for repeal of two of the top legislative achievements of President Barack Obama’s tenure in office. Those are the health care law known by his name and a measure enacted to crack down on Wall Street after the economy’s nearcollapse in 2008. Republicans said their balanced-budget promise came with no tax increases, though the fine print assumes the expiration of about $900 billion in breaks for business research and development and other items. “The new normal of slow economic growth and low expectations is unacceptable. We know we can do better,” the House Budget Committee, chaired by Rep. Tom Price of Georgia, said in a report accompanying the proposal. It promised “greater prosperity, opportunity, security and freedom” if enacted. Projected spending for the budget year that begins on Oct. 1 was $3.8 trillion, rising to $5 trillion in 2025. Obama countered Republican claims instantly. He said the GOP prescription “is a failure to invest in education, infrastructure and national defense — all the things we need to grow, to create jobs, to stay at the forefront of innovation and to keep our country safe.” The president’s own budget calls for about $2 trillion over 10 years in higher taxes on corporations, wealthy individuals and smokers of all income levels as part of a plan to increase spending and give tax breaks to the middle class. Rhetoric aside, the release of the tax and spending plan in the House begins a rite of spring as reliable as the appearance of daffodil shoots on the Capitol grounds. Senate Republicans intend to outline their own plan on Wednesday, and each house is expected to ratify its own version next week. After that comes the harder challenge of forging a compromise between the two versions, a task that Republicans acknowledge will mark a test of their ability to govern now that they control both houses of Congress. An even more difficult challenge follows, the translation of policy objectives into legislation that would be sent to Obama to sign or — more likely — veto. The budget also is certain to become an issue in the stillearly race for the White House in 2016. The House budget relies heavily in some areas on previous plans put together by Price’s predecessor as committee chairman, Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin. It also adapts to changing political circumstances, most notably by offsetting a looming automatic budget cut in national security accounts. The proposal would allow spending in the coming budget year of $36 billion more than Obama recommended for overseas military and diplomatic efforts. Less than half of the $36 billion would be guaranteed, and the rest would depend on offsetting spending cuts elsewhere in the budget. Some Republicans and outside groups bristled at the prospect of so large an increase, tucked into the budget in an account for overseas operations that is not subject to spending caps designed to hold down deficits. “I’m tired of seeing gimmicks in the budget process,” said Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan, a conservative and frequent critic of his party’s leadership. At the same time, the added funds could gain support for the budget from pro-Pentagon lawmakers for whom military spending is a top priority. As in prior budgets, the House GOP budget calls for transforming Medicare into a voucher-like program for seniors who join the health care program beginning in 2024. They would receive a subsidy to purchase coverage, a step that Democrats say would effectively end the current guarantee of services pegged to a predetermined level.

TV14 HOOPS U (N) Episodes �E ditorial 4 Wednesday, March 18, 2015 Daily Sentinel THEIR VIEW Many agencies apply unnecessary fees Last year, a FOIA requester filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the Drug Enforcement Administration asking for information about the DEA’s role in the search and capture of the Mexican Cartel boss Joaquin Guzman, more commonly known as “El Chapo.” Last month — eight months after the FOIA’s statutory 20-day deadline had expired — the agency informed the requester that it would cost a whopping $1.46 million to search, review, process and print the documents, causing the stunned requester to abandon his effort. Using the specter of unrealistically high FOIA fees, the DEA successNate fully evaded a request for materials Jones of high public interest. For Ohio Valley This Sunshine Week, it’s imporPublishing tant to recognize that FOIA fee barriers are not isolated incidents. The Federal FOIA Advisory Committee, made up of government and non-government members including myself, has identified fees as the most frequently contentious issue in the FOIA process for those both inside and outside government. Miriam Nisbet, the former director of the FOIA Ombuds office, confirmed this week that some agencies use fees to dissuade people from filing FOIA requests. The need for exorbitant fees to pay for FOIA requests is unnecessary from a fiscal perspective. According to the government’s own most recent figures (FY 2013), the 99 agencies covered by FOIA processed 678,391 requests at a cost of $446 million — well worth it considering the value of a government accessible to its citizens. Total fees paid by FOIA requesters were just $4.3 million, less than one percent of the cost of implementing the Act. The use of fees to dissuade people from making requests becomes even more questionable when one understands that the money goes to the U.S. Treasury’s General Fund, not to defray actual agency FOIA costs. Encouragingly, there are exemplary agencies that recognize this and waive most or all fees as a matter of policy. Unfortunately, too many other agencies continue to use the specter of FOIA fees as a tool in a general attempt to avoid releasing information to the public. Many high fee estimates are probably also illegal. The FOIA makes it very clear that any time an agency misses its 20-day statutory deadline to process a request, or if the requester is representing the media, a scientific organization, or educational institution, the agency is only allowed to charge copying fees. The DEA and other agencies have improperly skirted the intent of these provisions so often that both FOIA bills currently pending in Congress include ironclad language which will clearly prohibit these fee hijinks, once and for all. Some FOIA processers counter that imposing FOIA fees is important not because it pays for the FOIA process, but because it’s a useful tool to convince requesters to narrow requests agencies find overly broad. A much better solution than applying sticker shock would be to contact the requester, explain the agency’s constraints, get the requester to answer the all-important question, “What do you really want?” and explain that the more narrowly tailored the request, the quicker the response. Another generally under-appreciated fact is that agency fee barriers hurt regular requesters most of all. The FOIA has built-in fee protections for the categories of users listed above, but not for the average concerned citizen asking about potential water contamination at a military base or for GPS data about a nearby national park. Fees are all too often improperly used to turn these kinds of requesters away. Taxpayers have already paid for FOIA. Instead of trying to use inflated fee numbers to scare away legitimate requesters, agencies should do their duty and focus on releasing important information to the public — like illuminating the U.S. role in the hunt for El Chapo.

Even though he had show respect to their opponent, lost, he seemed strangely happy. because being disrespectful to an As I walked from the mat, a opponent only disrespected themselves and our team. Likewise, I remember more than once taking a younger team member aside after he had lost, and telling him to never hang his head in defeat. “You can always be proud of the job you have done if you have done your best, and have given everything you have. Your real opponent on the mat is not the person you are wrestling, but yourself. If you can go beyond the limits you have never gone beyond, push yourself a little harder than you have ever pushed yourself before, and pull just a little more out of yourself than you thought you were capable of, then, in all reality, you have won, because you have beaten the opponent that is you.” As I thought about my lecture to younger wrestlers, the man looked me in the eye and continued. “As powerful of a wrestler as you have been on the mat, what has truly marked you as a champion to me and Mel is not how you wrestled, but how you acted when the match was over. Mel said that even when he lost to you, you always made him feel like he was still a winner.” As I read the obituary, and remembered my chance meeting with this man, I thought about how his words have stuck with me my whole life. And I hope that when my life’s final match is over, and others are reading my obituary, no one will feel I was less than what I should have been in what really mattered — helping those around me feel like champions.

Associated Press Lawmakers objected to his response, saying it should have already been clear to agency employees that such behavior wouldn’t be tolerated. “You can’t run an agency like this, for God’s sake,” said Rep. Hal Rogers, head of the House Appropriations Committee. Rep. Nita Lowey, a New York Democrat, echoed Rogers’ criticism. “Before you even know the facts, you can say, based on the allegations, if, in fact, you are not aware that this kind of activity is inappropriate for a member of the Secret Service, you better get it now and go find another job,” Lowey said. Clancy agreed with much of the criticism, but said he had to wait for a Homeland Security Department inspector general’s investigation to be completed before he could take action beyond reassigning the two agents to non-supervisory desk jobs outside the White House. “I don’t have the authority to dismiss them on the spot,” Clancy said, adding that he wanted to ensure due process for the agents. “I cannot terminate people this afternoon.” Homeland Security Inspector General John Roth said Tuesday that his office had launched its investigation, which he promised would be “thorough and independent.” The incident was initially described in press reports as two agents crashing a government vehicle into a security barrier. Clancy testified that video of the incident that he has seen shows the agents’ vehicle “nudge” a large construction barrier as they drove through a secure area. He said while he has not spoken to the agents involved or those who were working that night, he has “seen nothing to indicate this incident as described occurred.” Still, he told lawmakers, “I should have been informed.” And that delay, he said, suggests there is still a lot of work to be done to change the agency’s culture, including the use of alcohol. Biopsy accuracy is questioned in experimental study CHICAGO — Here’s another reason for getting a second medical opinion: Biopsy specialists frequently misdiagnose breast tissue, potentially leading to too-aggressive treatment for some women and under-treatment for others, a study suggests. The results indicate that pathologists are very good at determining when invasive cancer is present in breast tissue, but less adept at making the right diagnosis with less serious conditions or when biopsied tissue is normal. The study involved 115 U.S. pathologists and 240 breast biopsy specimens. Their diagnoses were matched against those of three experts.

DCIS involves abnormal cells confined to a milk duct and is diagnosed in about 60,000 U.S. women each year. Cases have increased because of rising mammogram use, and it can sometimes spread so usual treatment is surgery and radiation. “As a woman, I would probably want to get a second opinion” with a diagnosis of abnormal pre-cancer or DCIS, Elmore said. A JAMA editorial notes that the study lacks information on patient outcomes, so there’s no proof that the experts made the correct diagnosis. Also, pathologists weren’t allowed to consult with precancerous cells about half the time, no better than a coin toss, said lead author Dr. Joann Elmore, a University of Washington researcher. Treatment for this condition typically includes frequent monitoring and sometimes medication. About a third of these cases were misdiagnosed as not worrisome or normal, while 17 percent were deemed more suspicious or cancer. Since as many as 160,000 U.S. women each year are diagnosed with this condition, the results suggest many may be getting inappropriate treatment, Elmore said. š�FWj^ebe]_iji�c_ijWaenly found something suspicious in 13 percent of normal tissue. š�J^[o�^WZ�i_c_bWh�jhekble with a condition called DCIS — 13 percent of these cases were misdiag- ment, safety and towing vehicles.

Still, he said the results are troubling and highlight that pathology is an imperfect science. Rimm said he has been asked to offer a second opinion, and that patients make those requests though their primary care physicians. The editorial says the results “should be a call to action for pathologists and breast cancer scientists” to improve and refine definitions of breast tissue abnormalities.

The study was published in Tuesday’s Journal of the American Medical Association. About 1.6 million breast biopsies are performed each year nationwide, typically after radiologists spot something suspicious on a mammogram. Tissue is withdrawn through a needle or from a surgically removed growth and examined under a microscope. Previous research has shown that interpreting mammograms can also be tricky and lead to under- or over-treatment.

And the Dayton Flyers aren’t exactly all revved up about it. Partly, it’s because they’d rather have skipped the First Four. Mostly, it’s because a long home-court winning streak can be a burden at this time of the season. And the Flyers are playing a team that has a knack for winning in tough places. Dayton (25-8) faces Boise State (25-8) on tonight, the first time since 1987 that a school has played an NCAA Tournament game on its home court. Since 1989, teams have been prohibited from doing so, with the First Four the only exception — though it’s not unusual for top seeds to play nearby in front of a partisan crowd, such as Kentucky’s games in Louisville this week. Dayton is 16-0 at home this season and has won its last 21 overall at UD Arena, the seventh-longest active streak in Division I. “When we’re playing a home game, we have about as good of a home-court advantage as anyone does in college basketball,” coach Archie Miller said. “But I’ll also tell you that anyone who is billing this as a home game or a walkthrough, I just think they’re really underappreciating how good Boise State is. “If we were playing a regular-season game at home versus Boise State, you’d be sick to your stomach because you know what you’re in for.” Boise State went 8-5 on the road and had some of its best moments on other teams’ courts. The Broncos got their first wins at New Mexico and at Utah State, where they had been 0-18 alltime. They also ended San Diego State’s 29-game home winning streak Feb. 28. “The great thing about this team that we have is it’s been a year of milestones, been a year of firsts,” coach Leon Rice said. The winner will play sixth-seeded Providence on Friday in Columbus, Ohio. Some things to watch in their First Four game: HOME COURT HISTORY: The last two teams to play NCAA Tournament games on their home courts were Arizona and Syracuse in 1987, according to STATS. The only other time that the Flyers played an NCAA Tournament game on their home court, they lost to eventual national champion Villanova 51-49 in 1985. Dayton has hosted 14 NIT games, going 10-4. DECKED OUT IN RED: The Flyers wore their red road uniforms for practice Tuesday, getting accustomed to the look. Technically, they’ll be the visiting team Wednesday because Boise State was ranked ahead of them by the NCAA selection committee. Dayton got the last at-large bid. STAND TALL: Boise State is accustomed to being at a height disadvantage but will have the taller starting lineup Wednesday. Dayton has no player taller than 6-foot-6, relying on its balance, quickness and determination to win games. “We’re a tough group, regardless of what people think or what they say,” guard Jordan Sibert said. OFF THE MARKS: Mountain West Player of the Year Derrick Marks is coming off one of his worst shooting games. The senior guard was 6 of 21 from the field, including 2 of 8 from beyond the arc, during a 71-66 overtime loss to Wyoming in the conference tournament. “I’ve been fine,” Marks said. “It isn’t all about me. We kind of forgot about the last game already.” NCAA TOURNAMENT TIDBITS: Boise State is 0-6 all-time in the tournament. The Broncos also were sent to the First Four in 2013 and lost to La Salle 80-71. Dayton is 17-17 overall. The Flyers reached the Sweet 16 last season by beating Ohio State, Syracuse and Stanford before losing to Florida. This is the first time since 2003-04 that the Flyers have reached the tournament in back-toback seasons. Marcum inks with Bobcats football Courtesy photo Point Pleasant standout Cody Marcum recently signed his letter of intent to continue his gridiron career at West Virginia Wesleyan. “This means a lot, I’ve worked a long time to play football and I decided that I didn’t want all of my hard work to go for nothing,” Marcum said. “I really like the small class sizes at Wesleyan, Buckhannon is a real nice town and I really like the coaches up there.” Cody has helped the Big Blacks to a 42-6 record in his four year football career, while also competing for the Point Pleasant track and field team. “Cody’s been here for four years and his best football season was his senior year, which is what we want for our kids,” Big Blacks head coach Dave Darst said. “He was a defensive starter for us at cornerback and did an outstanding job. The hard work that he’s put into the football program has made him who he is today and it helps our program to have kids like him. Wesleyan is getting a good kid and a good football player; we wish him nothing but the best.” Marcum, who will major in bio-chemistry at Wesleyan with intentions to become a veterinarian, currently holds a 3.8 grade point average at PPHS, which places him in the top 50 of this years graduating class.

Regular-season champion Kansas is a No. 2 seed, and the No. 3 seeds in three of the four regions are from the Big 12 — tournament champion Iowa State, Oklahoma and Baylor. The league also has the nation’s top cumulative RPI and five top-20 teams in this season’s final AP poll. “We’re arguably the best conference in the country,” Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger said Monday. “Still, we need to validate that with some tournament wins and some teams advancing.” This is the second year in a row with seven NCAA teams, making the Big 12 the only league that can boast 14 bids in that span. But only Baylor and Iowa State made it past the opening weekend of the tournament last March, then both lost in the Sweet 16. “I think it is time for our league to step up, and last year was an off year, and we certainly contributed to that by losing in the first weekend, the second game,” Kansas coach Bill Self said. “We do need to do something as a league to validate what everybody else has said about us all year long.” The Jayhawks are the only Big 12 team to make the NCAA Final Four the past 10 seasons, beating Memphis for the national title in 2008. They lost to Kentucky in the 2012 championship game. Big 12 teams made up half the Final Four in 2002 and 2003, with Kansas in both times — joined by Oklahoma in 2002 and Texas the next year. Oklahoma State got to the Final Four in 2004. West Virginia coach Bob Huggins, whose team is in its third Big 12 season, isn’t sure the league has to prove anything in the NCAA Tournament. “Sometimes what gets lost in the excitement of this month is that we’ve already played 30 games. We’re the No. 1 RPI league in the country,” Huggins said. “It’d be great if four of our teams end up in the Sweet 16, or seven of them, really, but … everybody says well, let’s see what happens with the test of time. I think we have kind of shown what we do over the test of time.” Oklahoma State’s Travis Ford, like the rest of the coaches, takes pride in the Big 12 doing well in March. But he doesn’t believe the NCAA Tournament is a true indication of how strong a team or a league is based on what happens in those games. “I don’t care what happens from this point … we have the best league in America from top to bottom,” Ford said. ”It would nice to see our league take a step forward,” Self said. “I also think this. I don’t think you take away that our league’s had a great year. Just like was the SEC the best league in football this past year? Absolutely. They had a bad bowl season.” Wednesday, March 18, 2015 7 American Pharoah up, Texas Red out By Richard Rosenblatt this week, at No. 10.

Rose submits application for reinstatement GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Pete Rose has submitted a new request to be reinstated to baseball. Rose agreed to the lifetime ban in August 1989 following an investigation for Major League Baseball by outside lawyer John Dowd that concluded the career hits leader bet on the Reds to win while managing the team. Rose applied for reinstatement in September 1997 and met in November 2002 with Commissioner Bud Selig, who never ruled on the application. Rob Manfred succeeded Selig in January. Manfred said after meet- ing with the Los Angeles Dodgers in spring training on Monday that he has a formal request from Rose. “What I intend to do is be in communication with his representatives, and we’ll talk about how we’ll handle it from a process perspective,” he said. At the time of the Rose investigation, Manfred was an associate at Morgan, Lewis & Bockius, a law firm that worked on labor law matters for MLB. He was not involved in the investigation. “I want to make sure I understand all of the details in the Dowd Report and Commissioner Bart Giamatti’s decision,” Manfred said. “I want to hear what Pete has to say, and I’ll make a decision.” Rose, who turns 74 next month, denied for 15 years that he bet on baseball. In his 2004 autobiography, “Pete Rose: My Prison Without Bars,” he reversed his stand and acknowledged he bet on the Reds while managing the team. Rose’s lawyer, Ray Genco, said he and his client were declining comment other than to confirm the application had been submitted. These days, Rose spends time is Las Vegas signing baseballs for money. That may not fit the lifestyle then Commissioner A. Bartlett Giamatti suggested when the ban agreement was announced. “The burden is entirely on Mr. Rose to reconfigure his life in a way he deems appropriate,” Giamatti said at the time the suspension was announced. The Hall of Fame’s board of directors voted in 1991 to bar anyone on the permanently ineligible list from the Baseball Writers’ Association of America ballot. Since his last year of BBWAA ballot eligibility would have been 2006, the impact of reinstatement on his Hall chances is not clear. Kluber gives up HRs to Frazier and Negron, Reds beat Indians By Gary Schatz Associated Press GOODYEAR, Ariz. — AL Cy Young winner Corey Kluber gave up home runs to Todd Frazier and Kristopher Negron, and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Cleveland Indians 4-0 Tuesday. Kluber allowed three runs on three hits and two walks in four innings. He struck out four. Reds starter Mike Leake pitched twohit ball for four innings. Cincinnati closer Aroldis Chapman followed with two scoreless innings. Chapman pitched two innings for his third straight outing. He has allowed one run in seven innings this spring. Indians closer Cody Allen turned in his fourth scoreless appearance. Cincinnati Reds’ Mike Leake throws a pitch against the Cleveland Indians during the first inning of their spring training game Tuesday in Goodyear, Ariz. The Reds won 4-0. Ross D. Franklin | AP SMU’s Larry Brown in 1st NCAA since the ‘88 title at Kansas DALLAS (AP) — Larry Brown discovered something about his new iPhone when SMU finally ended its twodecade NCAA Tournament drought. “I didn’t realize how many text messages it would accept, so that kept me kind of busy,” the 74-year-old Hall of Fame coach said. Maybe the texts will keep on coming. While the Mustangs are back in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1993, Brown returns to the Big Dance for the first time since leading Kansas to a national title 27 years ago. “I hope it’s like it was in ‘88,” Brown said, before quickly trying to divert the attention from him to the SMU players, who weren’t even born then. “At my age, I enjoy every day. I don’t think about the NCAA personally,” he said. “I think about our seniors, and what they’ve been through and now they get this opportunity. I think about last year, that Sunday, just how disappointed we were.” Ah, yes. Brown’s disappointment at the Mustangs being left out last season after a loss in the American Athletic Conference quarterfinals is well known. After winning the conference regular-season and tournament championships to leave no doubt about an NCAA berth this season, the Mustangs (27-6) are the No. 6 seed in the South Region. They play Thursday in Louisville, Kentucky, against UCLA (20-13), a team Brown took to the national championship game in 1980. Asked what his emotions were when he realized the opening opponent was UCLA, Brown quipped, “I thought I coached everybody.” This is Brown’s 40th season as a head coach, a resume that includes a record nine NBA teams among his 14 coaching jobs. He is the only coach to win both an NCAA championship and NBA title (2004 Detroit Pistons). Brown is in his third season at SMU, which last won an NCAA Tournament game in 1988, the year of the coach’s national title with the Jayhawks before returning to the NBA with the San Antonio Spurs. “I think he’s just proud of us as a team, fighting through adversity,” senior guard Ryan Manuel said. “It’s just big for the school that we haven’t been here in a long time. I think it just puts SMU back on the map as far as basketball.” The Mustangs made it to the NIT championship game last season, after the bitter disappointment of being left out of the 68-team NCAA field. They never heard their name called while watching the NCAA selection show last March with more than 1,000 of their fans. “It means a lot. It’s the same group that was sitting at Moody last year,” senior center Yanick Moreira said. “We’ve been talking about this the whole year since we came back. We just used that as a motivation for us.” Not that everything has gone smoothly since then. Prized recruit Emmanuel Mudiay, a 6-foot-5 McDonald’s All-American point guard from the Dallas area, decided last summer to play professionally in China instead of at SMU. Big man Markus Kennedy, named most outstanding player in the AAC tournament last week, missed the first 10 games of the season because of academic ineligibility. Xavier transfer Justin Martin left the team in January, not long before guard Keith Frazier was lost for the season because of academic issues. �SPORTS 8 Wednesday, March 18, 2015 Daily Sentinel Kelly unsure how long it will take to decide on starting QB SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Spring football practice begins at Notre Dame on Wednesday like it has in most of the past five years under Brian Your news ... Your newspaper THE DAILY SENTINEL Community News Sports Scores Editorials Church Events Breaking News YOUR NEWSPAPER Story idea or news tip? Call 992.2155 Kelly, with a looming question about who will start at quarterback. The competition this season is the same as last, pitting veteran Everett Golson vs. inexperienced Malik Zaire. The difference this season is Zaire has some momentum on his side after replacing Golson in the regularseason finale against USC and starting as the Irish upset No. 22 LSU 31-28 in the Music City Bowl in a game where both played and had roles in setting up the game-winning field goal. Kelly said Tuesday he doesn’t know how long it will take to select a starter. “Once we see how they’re going to compete, I think we’ll have a better understanding of answering that question,” Kelly said. There was a media report this winter that Golson might consider going to another school for his final season after graduating from Notre Dame in May. Kelly was asked if he felt he needed to try to persuade Golson to come back or to accept sharing quarterback duties. Kelly said the only thing he’s told Golson is he needs to be ready to compete. “He has bought in 100 percent to competing for the quarterback position here at Notre Dame. Now, whatever that ends up being, if that end result is he’s the backup or that he’s the sole starter or that he’s sharing time, he has no control over that. What he has control over is that he’s committed to competing for the job.” The biggest improvement Kelly is looking for in Golson is that he’s more disciplined and cuts down on the 22 turnovers he had last season that were factors in Notre Dame (8-5) losing five of their last six regularseason games. Zaire, who has shown he is better at the rearoption, needs to show better dedication and focus to practice. “He has to continue to show that he has not only game-day skills, but the practice skills necessary to lead our football team,” Kelly said. “Now, look, we may have gotten to Malik a little bit sooner if we had seen some of the natural leadership abilities that he showed on the sideline during the LSU game, if we had seen those things during practice.” Kelly said for the first time since arriving at Notre Dame the Irish have enough depth that he doesn’t have to worry about “tiptoeing” in spring practice at a certain position because of a lack of depth. “This is the first time since I’ve been here where I feel like I can go into practice and I can bang around,” he said. NOTES: Kelly said cornerback KeiVarae Russell, who was dismissed from school last fall after being investigated for possible academic dishonesty, is making progress academically and hopes to be back at Notre Dame this summer. Kelly said he couldn’t say for sure whether defensive lineman Ishaq Williams will be back. … Kelly said he couldn’t explain why Matt Hegarty, who started 11 games last season, has decided to play elsewhere after he graduates in May. Kelly said he expected Hegarty to start at left guard. Kelly said cornerback Jalen Brown wasn’t offered a fifth-year of eligibility. Linebacker Ben Councell, who had a year of eligibility left, opted not to return for a fifthyear. www.mydailysentinel.com Lost & Found FOUND: Shepherd mixed female on Highland Rd, Pomeroy 740-645-4366 Notices MISS ASHLEY/PSYCHIC READER Palm, card, angel readings.

That’s why Chris Borland’s decision to retire at age 24, after a great rookie season with the 49ers and a near-guaranteed huge payday down the line, sent shockwaves rippling across the NFL. The announcement came within days of retirements by 20-somethings Jason Worilds, Jake Locker, Cortland Finnegan and 30-year-old perennial Pro Bowl 49ers linebacker Patrick Willis, whose spot Borland was expected to fill. Each of those players cited different reasons for calling it quits. Only Borland, who suffered a concussion in training camp last fall but covered it up in a bid to win a spot on the field, tied his departure directly to the continuing risk of brain injury. “I just thought to myself, ‘What am I doing? Is this how I’m going to live my adult life, banging my head, especially with what I’ve learned and knew about the dangers?’” Borland said Monday on ESPN’s “Outside the Lines.” But more surprising, and perhaps even more unsettling for the league’s long-term prospects, was the reaction from fellow players and the game’s notoriously tough fan base: an almost-unanimous show of respect for a young player who left millions on the table rather than expose himself to more concussions. “I didn’t see it coming,” Chris Nowinski, an expert on sports-related concussions, said about Borland’s announcement. “This was somebody who got educated on the issue, and the choices he was facing. I wasn’t sure if there were current players interested enough to do their homework.” But a moment later, Nowinski, a Harvard graduate, author and former pro wrestler who was instrumental in the formation of Boston University’s Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy, said the reaction from the larger NFL community may have been more surprising still. “It shows the macho culture of ‘destroy yourself for the game’ is losing its grip, that it’s no longer cool to question people’s toughness. That represents a big shift in thinking from just a few years ago,” he said. “The real question now is whether those players who stay in the game will be encouraged to become greater advocates for their own safety. ... “And then there’s the 3 million or so youngsters playing the game at the lower levels,” Nowinski added. “Will something like this lead to better and more effective safety measures for them?” The depth of that talent pool prompted a response from Eliot Wolf, director of player personnel from the Green Bay Packers, who tweeted: “Anyone worried about the future of football should see the amount of calls and emails we get from kids literally begging to get into pro days.” But his reaction, as well as a statement from the NFL repeating the claim that “football has never been safer,” was largely washed over by a wave of support on social media from Borland’s former teammates Michael Zito | AP file San Francisco 49ers inside linebacker Chris Borland’s decision to retire rather than risk permanent brain injury in the NFL has generated suprising support among players and fans, which could be a longterm concern for the future of the pro game. at Wisconsin and San Francisco, as well as NFL opponents he bruised en route to a host of rookie honors and a team-leading 108 tackles. Typical was this tweet from St. Louis Rams guard Chris Long: “WOW. I loved Chris Borland’s game but I can’t fault him for calling it quits. His concerns are real. Still it takes a man to do the logical.” Nowinski believes much of the credit for the paradigm shift in how players, NFL fans and even the league itself views concussions is an outgrowth of the continuing research at Boston University’s CTE center. Because CTE — a degenerative disease which often results in memory loss, aggression, confusion and depression — can only be diagnosed during an autopsy, he helped convince the fami- Squad From Page 6 mark, which landed each program three selections apiece. Senior Jordan Moseley, junior Mason Chapman and junior Seth Richardson represented the Spartans, while senior Max Ward, junior Jordan Albright and sophomore Tristan Bartoe were chosen on behalf of the Vikings. Colt Adams represented NelsonvilleYork after the Buckeyes finished sixth with a 3-9 league mark, while junior Ryan Hawk was the lone Wellston choice after the Rockets went 0-12 in the TVC Ohio. Burrow, Chapman, Richardson, Albright and Ryan Luerhman were repeat selections to the All-TVC Ohio squad from a season ago. Burrow was also selected to the 2011-12 and 201213 all-league teams.

Dave Duerson, who committed suicide by shooting himself in the chest, made his wishes to be part of the study, in a note he left behind. The CTE center has confirmed that 76 of the 79 NFL players whose brains were examined showed signs of degenerative brain trauma. “Borland’s decision won’t lead to a rush of players out the door,” Nowinski said. “But it should point in the direction of making sure that those who stay get the safest environment possible, and that we have that discussion without pretending the dangers don’t exist. ... They do. Our job now is to build on that, especially for those kids too young to make a risk assessment for themselves.” 2015 All-TVC Ohio Boys Basketball Team ATHENS (12-0): *Joe Burrow, Sr. G 6-4; *Ryan Luehrman, Sr. F 6-4; Adam Luehrman, Sr. F 6-4; Griffin Lutz, So.
