BESSEMER — Students from A.D. Johnston High School com- peted in the Region 1 Science Olympiad tournament at North- ern Michigan University in Mar- quette Saturday, bringing home two seconds. The competition is about sci- ence, technology, engineering and math. “After an exhausting day of competition, the students assem- bled with high hopes and expec- tations for the final results and standings,” said coach Dave Rowe. “The Bessemer teams have transitioned from teams that participate to a perennial power house that is always one of the top finishers in the U.P. This year, as the awards were announced, we knew early on that things were going well, when our team placed in problem after problem, with the junior high team medaling in 15 of the 22 problems and the high school medaling in 17 of the 23 prob- lems,” he saId. The junior high team finished second behind Washington Mid- dle School (Calumet) in a field of 13 and the Bessemer High School team was second to Calumet in a field of 10. The Science Olympiad is a national science competition. The top four teams from the regional tournament receive invitations to attend the state tournament in Lansing at the end of April, and the state win- ners advance to the national tournament. This year, because of schedul- ing conflicts, the Bessemer teams will be unable to attend the state tournament, Rowe said. Coaches Dave and Tracy Rowe said, “The teams start practicing and putting together their pro- jects in early December, fine tun- ing and testing in January, with the big push coming in Febru- ary.” Sophomore Uriah Aili said, “Science Olympiad is always dif- ferent every year, because of the hard challenges they throw at you.

The motion came after amended charges had been filed in the case. Carlos Jordan, 30, is expected to plead guilty to the new charges of use of cocaine and methamphetamine, as well as a disorderly person-loitering near an illegal business, according to Gogebic County Prosecutor Nick Jacobs. Jordan had originally been charged with a possession of meth and the disorderly person charge, but Jacobs said state crime lab testing didn’t bear out the meth possession charge. “After subsequent investiga- tion and lab testing, essentially the facts were brought out that no, he didn’t possess meth,” Jacobs said. While the meth possession charge is a felony, carrying a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison and/or a fine of $15,000, the two drug use charges are misdemeanors, with maximum sentences of a year in jail and up to $1,000 in fines — which is why the case can return from circuit to district court. The disorderly person charge is a misdemeanor, with a maximum sentence of 90 days in jail and/or a $500 fine. The charges against Jordan stem from the early morning search of a house on in the 1300 block of Bessemer’s Lead Street.

The annual hearing, a standard part of the renewal process for the special use permits for sand and gravel pits, is scheduled for April 20 at 6 p.m. at the township hall. Last year, the commission approved 12 appli- cants for one-year permits.

(AP) — Detroit — Ed Weber-man is girding for a fight.The Affordable Care Act,
which is in danger of beingreplaced by Republicans at theurging of President Trump, hasbeen a godsend, he said, to thosewho have pre-existing condi-tions.So Weberman, a White Lake
Township lawyer, and nearly 50others came out and held signsand marched Thursday nearHart Plaza in the city’s down-town to bring attention to thepossible end of former PresidentObama’s signature but contro-versial legislation that helpedinsure millions, including thosewith pre-existing conditions likehis 24-year-old son.After confronting his con-
gressman, U.S. Rep. David Trott,R-Birmingham, at a spiritedtown hall in Novi on health carelast week, Weberman took himup on an offer to fly to Washing-ton to meet him on Tuesday, hesaid.“The insurance companies
don’t want to insure sick people,”said Weberman, whose son wasdiagnosed with non-Hodgkin’slymphoma and is still on hisfather’s insurance.And even though the battle
seems tough, “I smell victory,”Weberman said.“What these protests are
doing is allowing people to hearwhat it really means,” he said. “Iwas not an expert in health care
until my son got sick. The voicesare being heard in Washington,I’m telling you, even on theRepublican side.”The so-called funeral march,
organized by the Michigan Peo-ple’s Campaign to coincide withthe anniversary of the AffordableCare Act, aims to drive home thebelief that if Congress repealsand replaces it, 24 million wouldlose health insurance.Weberman said he is worried
about the Republicans who saythey want to keep pre-existingconditions in the new health carebill but put sick people in “high-risk pools” as well as have capson health care costs, whichwould be disastrous for peoplelike his son.“We woke up on November
9th and what do we do now,” hesaid. “There are two choices: Wecan complain or do somethingabout it. So I’ve decided to dosomething about it.”Linda Ford, 60, of Dearborn
Heights, who held a sign thatstated, “Michigan Takes aStand” and “Save Our Health-care,” said so many Americanshave no clue what the healthcare act “has given them.”Her husband is a lawyer with
his own business and Ford oper-ates as his assistant. They hadhigh premiums because he hadpre-existing ailments, but theAffordable Care Act helped lowerthe costs when it was passed, shesaid.

Kelly Hanson, a 21-year-oldwoman who lives in the complex,told The Associated Press thatshe looked out of her apartmentwindow at around 1:15 p.m.Wednesday to see a squad carapproach, and a few secondslater heard a gunshot and saw anofficer fall. She said other officersput the wounded policeman in anarmored SWAT vehicle and tookhim away. She couldn’t tell if hewas alive or dead.Janet Schoenfeldt, who owns a
hair salon behind the bank, saidshe was at the front desk around1 p.m. Wednesday when squadcars poured into the parking lot,followed by ambulances. An offi-cer then told her to close her shopand get out of the area.“It’s a sad reality. Someone
taking innocent lives over some-thing he’s upset about,” Schoen-feldt. “We’re a small-knit com-munity. You just don’t think itwill happen here. Everybodysays that, but you know what? Itdoes happen here.”

LANSING (AP) — Humantrafficking victims would gethelp rebuilding their lives underlegislation approved by theMichigan House.House members unanimously
approved the measure onWednesday. Republican Rep.Bronna Kahle of Adrian spon-sored the bill that could forgiveprostitution-related offenses vic-tims were forced to commit, evenif they have a prior conviction.She says the bill would make
them eligible for parole and defer-ral instead of jailing them so thatthey have a chance to become pro-ductive members of society.Victims now are only eligible
for one-time deferred sentencesfor certain charges the victimwas forced to commit if all condi-tions of probation have beenmet. It also only applies to vic-tims who have had no previousconvictions.The bill now moves on to the
GOP-controlled Senate forapproval.

Dylan gives rare interview,talks Sinatra, ElvisNEW YORK (AP) — Bob Dylan
opened about his music and song-writing and discussed his relation-ships with Frank Sinatra, ElvisPresley and others in a rare andlengthy interview posted exclu-sively to his website Wednesday.In the Q&A with author Bill
Flanagan , Dylan recalled Sinatratelling him, “‘You and me, pal, wegot blue eyes, we’re from up there... These other bums are fromdown here.’”“I remember thinking that he
might be right,” added Dylan, wholast year was awarded the NobelPrize in literature, but did notshow up to accept the award.A person close to the Dylan
camp, who spoke on the conditionof anonymity because the personwas not allowed to publicly talkabout the topic, said Dylan want-ed to do an interview for his web-
site and Flanagan, a writer andformer MTV executive, agreed todo it.“No money or other compensa-
tion was involved,” the person said.Of the many superstars who
died last year, including Muham-mad Ali and Merle Haggard,Dylan said in the interview thedeaths hit him hard.“We were like brothers, we
lived on the same street and theyall left empty spaces where theyused to stand. It’s lonesome with-out them,” he said.When asked about why Presley
didn’t show up for a recording ses-sion with Dylan and George Har-rison, he replied: “He did show up— it was us that didn’t.”

(AP) — For generations, San Francisco hasbeen the heart of the American protest movement.In the 1960s, it was demonstrations against theVietnam War. Later came repeated pushes for gayrights and other liberal causes. More recently,activists have targeted gentrification fueled bytech workers who’ve been flooding into the pic-turesque neighborhoods, driving up rents andevictions and making it the priciest city in the
country.But with Donald Trump in the White House,
those tech workers and the area’s old-schoolactivists are finding common cause. Liberals havestarted trying to join activists’ street tactics andpassion with the expertise -- and money -- of thetechnology industry. When radicals join with suc-cessful professionals it can cause some dizzyingscenes, but the Bay Area is used to a little chaos.

For some airline passengers, newwarnings bring new hurdles
NEW YORK (AP) — As far asthe indignities of modern airtravel go, the latest ban on lap-tops and tablets on some interna-tional flights falls somewherebetween taking off shoes at thesecurity checkpoint and testingbaby food and milk for bombresidue.It’s yet another impediment in
the name of security for alreadyweary travelers, especially thosefrom or passing through the 10mostly Middle Eastern andNorth African countries coveredby new U.S. and British policies.While not quite as disruptive asan outright ban on smartphones— much less a travel ban basedon nationality — the restrictionsloom large for some.“Why are only Middle Eastern
airlines subject to this ban?”asked Kelsey Norman, a doctoralstudent who plans to fly homeFriday to Los Angeles fromBeirut — and expects to have tocheck her laptop, a Kindle tabletand her DSLR camera. “Overallthis policy is inconvenient, dis-criminatory, and continues tohurt America’s rapidly deterio-rating reputation globally.”
BAN LOGICNew restrictions from the U.S.
Department of Homeland Securi-ty prohibit the transportation incarry-on baggage of laptop com-puters, tablets, Kindles, somegaming devices, cameras andother electronics larger than asmartphone. The U.S. govern-ment cited unspecified threats asthe reason. The U.K. governmentinstituted a similar ban; neithergovernment’s restrictions affectU.S. airlines.People can still bring with
them to their seat items likesmartphones, duffel bags, coats,small bottles of hand lotion,snacks, earplugs and other small
items.
LOST PRODUCTIVITYSome, particularly business
travelers, see the potential fortheft, damage or compromiseddata if they are forced to checklaptops. The anxiety is realenough that there were attemptsto reroute flights to other air-ports immediately after the banwas announced.Banu Akdenizli, a native of
Turkey, said that being forced tofly 17 hours without her laptopwill cost her precious time towork and to prepare for a confer-ence.“It might seem trivial to a lot
of people, but what you get fromthese parts of the world are usu-ally business travelers,” saidAkdenizli, an associate professorof communications at the Doha,Qatar, campus of NorthwesternUniversity.For those who must, there are
ways to do a limited amount ofwork without laptops, tablets orother electronics.
AWKWARD WORKAROUNDSIt is possible to transfer
import documents to Google Docsand do some work on a smart-phone. Features can be limitedfor some apps; Microsoft’s Officeapp, for instance, allows users toopen only one document at atime.These apps are good enough
for simple proofreading andminor editing, but will leaveusers wanting when more com-plex tasks are required. The textwill also be small on smart-phones, though there is a way totemporarily reformat it to accom-modate smaller displays.One simple task that can be
done on a smartphone is commu-nicating via email or cleaning upinboxes. In-flight Wi-Fi is
required to send or receiveemails.If travelers need downtime,
there is always Netflix or Ama-zon. Users can download contentto a smartphone before leavingso that it’s easily accessible.
AT LEAST IT’S NOT PHONESLaptops and other gadgets
play only a supporting role to thesmartphone for many travelers.Yet even in cases where there arerestrictions on smartphones, atleast in the most recent andnotable example, the reasonswere clear.Last fall, Samsung asked
users of its fire-prone GalaxyNote 7 to “power down and stopusing the device” on planes. (Thephone was later banned, andthen recalled.)One big difference with that
ban and today’s regionally basedrestrictions is that with theGalaxy, there were widely circu-lated videos of Note 7s burstinginto flames. There was no doubtthat this would be a bad thing at30,000 feet.The potential danger cited by
the U.S. and the U.K. is moreambiguous.Yet even for some travelers
who do not mind stowing awaylaptops to abide by the new rules,there is some apprehension.Nick Lieber, a dual U.S.-
Israeli citizen living inJerusalem, plans an April trip toChicago that will take himthrough Amman, Jordan, andtherefore subject him to the ban.He doesn’t anticipate having todo work on his laptop during theflight.But he worries about laptop
lithium-ion batteries — whichhave been blamed for past air-craft fires — stored in the plane’scargo hold. “I’m a nervous flyeralready,” Lieber said.

In Their Opinion
Last week, we wrote that “cutting Great Lakes fundingfrom $300 million to $10 million, as the Trump adminis-tration reportedly is considering, is unacceptable.” Turnsout that $10 million figure was optimistic.The bad news dropped with the Trump budget released
this week: The president is wiping out the Great LakesRestoration Initiative and asking the states to take on thework.What’s worse than “unacceptable”?House Speaker Paul Ryan needs to step up, as does
Sen. Ron Johnson and the entire Wisconsin delegation inCongress, to make sure this program vital to the health ofthe lakes and to Wisconsin isn’t flushed away. They andother Republicans should follow the lead of Gov. ScottWalker who, to his credit, said he opposed the cut andwants to “protect funding that’s prudent.”The Great Lakes Restoration Initiative is not some
feel-good program that’s nice to have in the budget. Sinceits inception in 2010, the program has been used to sup-port more than 3,000 restoration projects “to improvewater quality, protect and restore native habitat, clean upenvironmentally-impaired areas of concern, fight invasivespecies and prevent beach closings,” as a Feb. 17 letterfrom 50 House members noted in urging full funding forthe initiative.In a statement asking Walker if he’s willing to take on
the responsibility and funding, Sen. Tammy Baldwin saidthe program has been beneficial for Wisconsin: It has“invested $331 million for 416 projects in Wisconsin. Ithas helped the state combat the growth of invasivespecies like Asian carp and zebra mussels, which pose amajor threat to the ecology and economy of the GreatLakes by devastating the food chain and causing majordamage to our ports, pipes and water infrastructure. Ithas also helped our state clean up polluted sites andrestore water quality in Wisconsin.And there’s this: Last September, at a presidential
campaign forum hosted by the Healing Our Waters-GreatLakes Coalition, Trump campaign representative MikeBudzik said Trump was going to make the Great Lakesgreat again, according to the Detroit Free Press. “Heknows the successes that have come from the CleanWater Act and other environmental regulations that havebeen put into place that have been guiding us along,”Budzik said of Trump. “There are some things, I think,that could possibly change. But I believe, in the end, he isgoing to stand up for a clean environment.”Not so much. In addition to eliminating the initiative,
Trump’s budget slashes funding to the EnvironmentalProtection Agency by about a third and will eliminateabout 50 other programs.No state can handle this job. It’s simply too big. A
national treasure of fresh water on which 30 million peo-ple rely for their drinking water, health, jobs and recre-ation requires a national effort to make sure it is restoredto full health.In a release, Todd Ambs, campaign director for the
Healing Our Waters-Great Lakes Coalition, said theTrump administration budget is “a total non-starter.”He’s right. And Ryan, Walker, Johnson and others
need to send the same message.—Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

President Trump has virtually no experi-ence running a government or reading theConstitution. But now he’s getting a painfulcivics lesson about one of the principle pre-cepts underlying American politics: Checksand balances.Some of those checks are written into
law: The power of federal judges to blockunlawful rules, or the independence oftenured officials like the head of the FBI.Other checks are less formal, like the
ability of the press to scrutinize a presidentthrough relentless reporting and fact-checking. Or like public opinion, which cansap a president’s leverage and credibilitywhen his popularity sinks.All these barriers, and many others,
have restrained and restricted the newpresident during his first two months inoffice. The most powerful man in the worldis discovering that running a country is farmore difficult than running a business.Of course, Trump retains enormous
assets. He still has the bully pulpit, whichhe used to stage a boisterous rally in Ken-tucky that generated support for his healthcare proposal. He can still twist the arms ofwavering Republicans, who have a deeplyvested interest in his success. He has stocked the federal government
with appointees who promote his policies onissues like climate change. He can makeexecutive decisions, like accelerating thedeportation of undocumented immigrants.And one of his most important powers wason display this week as his nominee to theSupreme Court, Neil Gorsuch, seemedpoised to win Senate approval.But a political highway filled with speed
bumps and stop signs is thwarting him inother ways.Start with Republicans in Congress. All
of them represent their own constituencies,whose interests and values might not coin-cide with the president’s. As a result, law-makers from states with aging populations
objected strongly to his proposals thatwould boost health insurance premiums forolder policyholders.Others — joined by many Republican
governors — were furious over proposedspending cuts that would harm specificregions, like the Great Lakes, or target use-ful programs like job training or Meals onWheels. Rep. Hal Rogers of Kentucky, aninfluential figure on the AppropriationsCommittee, called Trump’s budget “draco-nian, careless and counterproductive.”A growing number of Republicans are
also alarmed by the president’s penchantfor fabrication, urging him to recant hisbaseless charge that he was wiretappedby the Obama administration. “It neverhurts to say you’re sorry,” Rep. WillHurd, of Texas, a former CIA agent, toldABC.Democrats on Capitol Hill have little real
power, but they can still ask questions,shine spotlights and voice protests. Rep.Adam Schiff of California used a Congres-sional hearing to publicize the many con-nections between the Trump campaign andRussian interests.Lawmakers can be vulnerable to White
House pressures, but federal judges are not.Five different courts have now blockedTrump’s proposals to limit immigrants andrefugees from majority-Muslim countries.And those judges don’t act in isolation.The cases they ruled on were brought by
powerful outside interest groups, like theAmerican Civil Liberties Union, and attor-neys general from Democratic states, whocan mount legal challenges to a president’smore outlandish impulses.Unlike federal judges, the head of the
FBI is not appointed for life, but he doeshave a 10-year term, and that has enabledthe current director, James Comey, to standup to the president on two key issues. First,he flatly contradicted Trump’s claims thathe’d been wiretapped by Obama. Second, heis pursuing a criminal investigation intopossible links between Team Trump andRussian agents who attempted to influencethe U.S. election.Journalists also play a key role in
restraining the White House. To Trump’sgreat frustration, the Washington Postrevealed conversations between his nation-al security adviser, Michael Flynn, and theRussian ambassador, prompting Flynn’sresignation. Even Fox News refuted spuri-ous claims made by a contributor — andechoed by the White House — that theObama administration had engaged theBritish to help in a wiretapping scheme.Perhaps the ultimate check on presiden-
tial power is public opinion. No presidentcan govern effectively without popular sup-port, and Trump is rapidly squanderingthat precious and irreplaceable asset.While he won 46 percent of the popular
vote, his favorable rating in the latestGallup poll has plunged to 37 percent.That’s the lowest score for any presidentafter two months in office since Gallupstarted measuring presidential popularityin 1945.The president is learning a hard truth:
The American system was deliberatelydesigned to impede intemperate and irre-sponsible leaders — just like him. And thesystem is working.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Astate committee is recommend-ing shortening the period dis-missed and acquitted felony andmisdemeanor cases remain inWisconsin’s popular online courtdatabase.The Wisconsin Circuit Court
Access Oversight Committeeadopted a number of recommen-dations Tuesday on how long toretain records in the database.The recommendations call forerasing records of felony cases
that resulted in a dismissal or anacquittal after one to two yearsas determined by the state courtdirector. The retention period fordismissed and acquitted misde-meanors would be shortened tohalf of the dismissed and acquit-ted felony retention period.
Wisconsin Freedom of Infor-mation Council President BillLueders says the changes wouldresult in thousands of onlinerecords disappearing.The recommendations are

Wasley said. The dates for the fairare largely dictated on when acarnival is available, Wasley said.The 2016 paid attendance of
7,262 was below the 8,000 peoplefair organizers had been shoot-ing for, Wasley said. Rain on Sat-urday also held down the crowd,it was pointed out on at Wednes-day’s county board meeting.A somewhat surprising
response to the survey was that65 percent of the people saidthey’d attend without any “bigname” entertainment.Commissioners learned it
costs about $100,000 to run thefair, with $30,000 going to thecarnival. The cost at the fate was$12 per attendee each day, with$4 of that going to the carnival.That would leave the remain-
ing $58,000 collected in gate tick-ets to cover the other costs,which amounted to about$70,000, or a deficit of $12,000.The dates for the 2017 fair
have already been set for Aug.24-27, so the discussion Wednes-day was for 2018 and beyond.Daily tickets for 2017 will be
$10 for Thursday and $12 forFriday through Sunday.

being one of the 50 artists select-ed to decorate a piano. On Dec. 30, Sing For Hope
reached Grotberg and informedher she was selected to decoratea piano.Now Grotberg had to figure
out how to pay for the trans-portation and 20 days in NewYork. Motels would cost about$3,000, she figured, but Grotberginvestigated Air BnB and founda location she could stay at foronly $1,600. Her fellow teachers,school administrators and thesuperintendent Cathy Shamioncame together, enabling Grot-berg to leave the classroom forthree weeks.The National Art Education
Conference was on her first day.Following that, she spent sevento none hours per day paintingher piano in the presence ofmany well-known and famousartists. As if that was notenough, Grotberg said she alsoran the New York Half-Marathon, raising $1,345 on the
last day for the “Team For Kids”charity that supports runningevents for kids.Grotberg maintained contact
with her students by makingfreeze-framed stills and videos,which she posted on Facebookevery day. Involved in thosevideos were displays of thepromises she embedded in theart, demonstrating her pride inher community, and extra creditprojects for the kids to identifydifferent pieces of art displayedin New York. Grotberg included more than
500 “W’s” and “M’s” in her paint-ing, while also incorporating alarge stretch of copper-coloredpaint with pick axes as a sign ofthe mining heritage in the GogebicRange. The daily videos Grotbergcreated for the students are visibleon her specially created Facebookpage called, “Ms. G In NYC.”The 50 completed pianos are
going on display around the fiveboroughs of New York June 9-19.They will be available for peopleto play and there is an app beingmade available to locate all 50.After the two weeks are up, thepianos are getting placed withindifferent public schools in thecity.

Wisconsin court records debated
Michigan Senate votes tokeep police from hidingmisconductLANSING (AP) — The Michi-
gan Senate unanimouslyapproved a bill Thursday thatsupporters said would ensurepolice misconduct is not keptsecret if an officer leaves andtakes a new job at another
department.The legislation, which was
sent to the House for considera-tion, would require law enforce-ment agencies to keep records ofthe reasons for and circum-stances surrounding any officer’semployment separation. The offi-cer would have to sign a waiverallowing a prospective employerto ask for a copy of the records.
LONDON (AP) — Authoritieson Thursday identified a 52-year-old Briton as the man whomowed down pedestrians andstabbed a policeman to deathoutside Parliament in London,saying he had a long criminalrecord and once was investigatedfor extremism — but was not cur-rently on a terrorism watch list.As millions of Londoners
returned to work a day after arampage that killed four victimsand injured at least 30, BritishPrime Minister Theresa May hada message for other attackers:“We are not afraid.”“Today we meet as normal —
as generations have done beforeus, and as future generationswill continue to do,” she said tolawmakers’ cheers in the Houseof Commons.The Islamic State group
claimed responsibility forWednesday’s attack, which policesaid was carried out by KhalidMasood, a U.K.-born resident ofthe West Midlands in centralEngland. Masood plowed a rent-ed SUV into pedestrians on Lon-don’s Westminster Bridge,killing an American man and aBritish woman and injuringmore than 30 people of almost adozen nationalities. He then
fatally stabbed a policemaninside the gates of Parliamentbefore being shot to death by anofficer.A 75-year-old victim on the
bridge died late Thursday of hiswounds, police said.Vincenzo Mangiacarpe, an
Italian boxer visiting Parlia-ment, said he saw the attackerget out of the car wielding twoknives.“You can imagine if someone
was playing a drum on your backwith two knives — he gave (thepoliceman) around 10 stabs inthe back,” Mangiacarpe said.The dead were identified as
Kurt Cochran, 54, of Utah andBritish school administratorAysha Frade, 43 — both struckon the bridge — and 48-year-oldConstable Keith Palmer, a 15-year veteran of the MetropolitanPolice. The 75-year-old victimwas not identified.Police arrested eight people —
three women and five men — onsuspicion of preparing terroristacts as authorities soughtMasood’s motive and possiblesupport network. One arrest wasin London, while the others werein Birmingham. Police said theywere searching properties inBirmingham, London and Wales.
Masood’s convictions between1983 and 2003 included assault,weapons possession and publicorder offenses, London policesaid.But he “was not the subject of
any current investigations andthere was no prior intelligenceabout his intent to mount a ter-rorist attack,” police added.Many suspects in British ter-
rorist attacks and plots have hadroots in Birmingham, England’ssecond-largest city, and severallocal mosques have been linkedto extremist clerics.A home raided in Birming-
ham was one where Masoodlived until late last year, aneighbor said. Shown a photo ofhim, Iwona Romek said “that is100 percent” the man who livednext door to her for about fivemonths.Romek said he had a wife and
child about 6 years old who hewould walk to school. He rarelyleft home in the evening.“He seemed like a normal fam-
ily man who liked to take care ofhis garden,” she said. But oneday she saw him packing theirbelongings in a black van andthey were gone.As police investigated, Parlia-
ment got back to business, open-ing the day with a minute’ssilence for the victims. Maysaluted the heroism of police andthe bravery of ordinary London-ers.“As I speak, millions will be
boarding trains and airplanes totravel to London and to see forthemselves the greatest city onEarth,” she said. “It is in theseactions — millions of acts of nor-mality — that we find the bestresponse to terrorism. Aresponse that denies our enemiestheir victory, that refuses to letthem win.”In 1,000-year-old Westminster
Hall, the oldest part of Parlia-ment’s buildings, politicians,journalists and parliamentarystaff lined up to sign a book ofcondolences. One uniformedpoliceman wrote: “Keith, my
friend, will miss you.”Some parliamentarians said
they were shaken by Wednes-day’s attack, and all weresomber. But they also weredetermined.“There is no such thing as 100
percent security,” said MenziesCampbell, a member of theHouse of Lords. “We have tolearn to live with that.”The attack echoed deadly
vehicle rampages in Nice,France, and Berlin last year thatwere claimed by the IslamicState group.IS said through its Aamaq
News Agency that the Londonattacker — whom it did not name— was “a soldier of the IslamicState” who “carried out the oper-ation in response to calls for tar-geting citizens of the coalition”fighting IS in Syria and Iraq.IS has been responsible for
violence around the globealthough the group has alsoclaimed events later found tohave no clear links to it.Police believe the attacker
acted alone, May told lawmak-ers, with no reason to believe“imminent further attacks” areplanned. Britain’s threat levelfrom terrorism stands at“severe,” the second-highest on afive-point scale, meaning anattack is highly likely.Years ago, Khalid was “inves-
tigated in relation to concernsabout violent extremism,” shesaid, but called him “a peripheralfigure.”Home Secretary Amber Rudd
denied there had been an intelli-gence failure because the attack-er had been known to police.“I think that would be abso-
lutely the wrong judgment tomake,” Rudd told the BBC. “I’mconfident that as we get moreinformation ... that we will learnmore and take comfort from theinformation that we have and thework that the intelligence ser-vices do.”British security forces say
they have foiled 13 plots in thepast four years.

UN chief accuses SouthSudan’s governmentof ignoring famine
UNITED NATIONS (AP) —Secretary-General AntonioGuterres accused South Sudan’sgovernment on Thursday ofrefusing to express “any mean-ingful concern” about the plightof 100,000 people suffering fromfamine, 7.5 million in need ofhumanitarian aid and thousandsmore fleeing fighting.The U.N. chief delivered a
sharp rebuke to the country’spresident, Salva Kiir, sayingthat most often the internationalcommunity hears denials — “arefusal by the leadership to evenacknowledge the crisis or to fulfilits responsibilities to end it.”Guterres told the Security
Council that Kiir’s intention tohold a national dialogue “is notconvincing” in the absence ofconsultation with opponents, the“systematic curtailment of basicpolitical freedoms, and restric-tions on humanitarian access.”There were high hopes that
South Sudan would have peaceand stability after its indepen-dence from neighboring Sudan in2011. But the country plungedinto ethnic violence in December2013 when forces loyal to Kiir, aDinka, started battling thoseloyal to Riek Machar, his formervice president who is a Nuer. Apeace deal signed in August 2015has not stopped the fighting andthe three-year civil war has dev-astated the country, killed tensof thousands, and contributed to
a recently declared famine in twocounties.The United Nations has a
12,000-strong peacekeeping mis-sion in South Sudan and theSecurity Council last yearapproved an additional 4,000peacekeepers from the region tohelp protect civilians after aseries of reported gang-rapes andother assaults when fightingerupted in Juba last July.Guterres said the U.N. contin-
ues to work for the deployment ofthe regional force and restora-tion of the peace process, but hestressed that “no such force, andno amount of diplomacy, can sub-stitute for the lack of politicalwill among those who govern thecountry.”“There is a strong consensus
that South Sudanese leaders needto do more to demonstrate theircommitment to the well-being ofthe country’s people, who areamong the poorest in the world,”the secretary-general said.Guterres said greater pres-
sure is needed if there is anyhope of the leaders changingtheir approach, which means“first and foremost that theregion and the Security Councilmust speak with one voice.At the moment, the council
and the region remain dividedover two key ways to step uppressure — an arms embargoand slapping sanctions on addi-tional people blocking peace.

Obamacare repeal vote put offin stinging setback for TrumpWASHINGTON (AP) — After
seven years of fervent promisesto repeal and replace “Oba-macare,” President DonaldTrump and GOP congressionalleaders buckled at a moment oftruth Thursday, putting off aplanned showdown vote in astinging setback for the youngadministration.The White House insisted the
House vote would still happen— this morning instead — butwith opposition flowing fromboth strongly conservative andmoderate-leaning GOP lawmak-ers, that was far from assured.The delay was announced
after Trump, who ran for presi-dent as a master deal-maker,failed to close the deal with agroup of fellow Republicans inthe first major legislative test of
his presidency.Still, leaders of the conserva-
tive Freedom Caucus said theywere continuing to work with theWhite House late Thursday ontheir demands to limit therequirements on insurance com-panies now in place under formerPresident Barack Obama’sAffordable Care Act.“I can tell you at this point we
are trying to get another 30 to 40votes that are now in the ‘no’ cat-egory to ‘yes.’ Once we do that Ithink we can move forward,” saidFreedom Caucus Chairman MarkMeadows of North Carolina.The figures quoted by Meadows
were startling since Republicanscan lose only 22 votes in the face ofunited Democratic opposition. Atally by The Associated Presscounts at least 31 solid “no” votes.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — TylerDorsey's teammates call him "Mr.March."Yeah, that fits.Dorsey scored 20 points and made
the go-ahead layup with 1:08 left, andthird-seeded Oregon held on to end No.7 Michigan's dramatic postseason runwith a 69-68 victory in a MidwestRegional semifinal on Thursday night."We lean on him right now," the
Ducks' Dylan Ennis said. "He's playinghis best basketball, and it's coming atthe right time."Dorsey's recent surge has been time-
ly, for sure. He's scored 20 or morepoints in six straight games, a stretchthat has seen Pac-12 player of the yearDillon Brooks struggle with his shot.Oregon didn't have the win secured
until Derrick Walton Jr., who had car-ried the Wolverines the last threeweeks, was off with his long jumper justbefore the buzzer.For the Ducks (32-5), it's on to the
Elite Eight for the second straight year.For the Wolverines (26-12), it was
the end of a wild ride."The kids fought their hearts out this
whole season," Michigan coach JohnBeilein said, "but particularly this lastsix weeks to be more than a story. Itwas a great team. They were becoming
a great team before the story. Weweren't sharp as we would have liked tohave been today, but you have to creditOregon with that."Jordan Bell had a double-double for
the Ducks, with 16 points and 13rebounds. Brooks added 12 points andEnnis had 10.Walton led the Wolverines with 20
points, eight assists and five rebounds.Zak Irvin had 14 of his 19 points in thesecond half and DJ Wilson had 12points.The Ducks' run to the regional final
has come without big man Chris Bouch-er, who went out in the Pac-12 Tourna-ment semifinals with a season-endingknee injury. Oregon had plenty of insidegame without Boucher, outscoring theWolverines 34-16 in the paint and out-rebounding them 36-31.Its biggest play in the post came after
Walton had made a jumper to giveMichigan a 68-65 lead. Ennis got fouledand went to the line for a one-and-one.He missed, and Bell swooped in for theoffensive rebound and put it in to makeit a one-point game."We have a play that we practice on,
if one of us misses a free throw. We exe-cuted it perfectly," Bell said.After Walton missed a layup on the
other end, Dorsey gave the Ducks the
lead.Ennis missed another free throw
with 15 seconds left, giving Michiganone more chance. Oregon had two foulsto give and wanted to use them soMichigan would have to inbound theball. The Ducks couldn't get it done,though, and Walton was able to put upone more shot."We were supposed to foul," Oregon

through a lot, with their plane skidding offthe runway as they tried to fly to the Big TenTournament and advancing to the Sweet 16as a No. 7 seed. Ultimately, fatigue mighthave caught up to them. They shot just 39.3percent against the Ducks and didn't seemto have that special ingredient they showedlast week.Oregon: The Ducks set the school record
with their 32nd win and are off to the EliteEight for the second straight year thanks toa big-time performance from Dorsey.
WOE IS MOEMichigan's Moe Wagner scored a career-
high 26 points in Sunday's win over No. 2seed Louisville. But he missed six of his firstseven shots against the Ducks and finishedwith seven points after going 3 for 10.
LUCKY DUCKSOregon won despite making just 9 of 16
free throws. The Ducks came in shooting 71percent from the line. "Nine for 16 usuallyspells disaster at this time of year," Altmansaid.

North Central beats 2OT buzzer to win state semi
By DENNIS GRALLEscanaba Daily Press
EAST LANSING — Dreamsdo come true in sports, but evenSeth Polfus admitted this sce-nario was way above and beyondanything he ever imagined.Simply put, Polfus made an
ad-lib shot as time elapsed hereThursday night to send theNorth Central Jets into a thirdconsecutive Class D state cham-pionship game while alsoenabling them to extend theirstate record winning streak to 82straight boys basketball gameswith the most unlikely finish inanyone's memory.Polfus, who you would think
would be the last target in such asituation, bobbled the pass fromDawson Bilski, managed toretrieve it and flip up a shot fromabout eight feet left of the lanethat rolled around the rim andfell into the net after the buzzersound.The shot, taken with about
two-tenths of a second left in thesecond overtime, lifted the Jetsto an unbelievable 84-83 victoryover Southfield Christian atMichigan State University'sBreslin Center. It ignited an hel-lacious celebration, until it wasannounced the play was underreview.Senior teammate Jason
Whitens said later "I didn't even
know they could do that in highschool." Marcus Krachinski, whowas the first to hear the playwould be reviewed, said "myheart started racing. I said'please let the ball go throughbefore the buzzer.'"When the announcer said the
basket counted, the Jets had aninstant replay of their celebra-tion in what has to rank amongthe all-time great finishes."I had faith he got it off in
time,' Whitens said after a massnews media session ended.Polfus, also talking about the
play after the press conference,said "I didn't even dream aboutthat last night," indicating thereis no way he would have everexpected to see the ball with thegame on the line.In fact, of the 10 starters in
the semifinal game matching thetop-ranked and two-time defend-ing state champions against theNo. 2 Eagles, Polfus had thefewest points of all of them, fin-ishing with seven.The Eagles had Whitens, the
state's co-player of the year,blanketed when Bilski got theball atop the key after BrockWashington's triple gave theEagles an 83-82 lead with 8.1seconds left. Under heavy pres-sure, with Krachinski also cov-

EAST LANSING — The North CentralJets extended their national-best winningstreak to 82 straight games Thursday night,but not until a video replay confirmed thatSeth Polfus converted the game-winning bas-ket just a skosh before the final buzzer in thesecond overtime.The Jets squeezed past three-time former
Class D state champion Southfield Christian84-83 in a double overtime classic at Michi-gan State University's Breslin Center to earna shot a third consecutive Class D state boysbasketball title here Saturday.The Jets (27-0) will face Buckley (26-0) at
10 a.m. EDT Saturday for the state champi-onship. Buckley defeated Lansing Christian68-61 in Thursday's nightcap.Polfus momentarily lost control of a pass
from Dawson Bilski, but retrieved it andcalmly hoisted a shot from about eight feetleft of the lane as the clock raced to zero.There was about point two of a secondremaining when he released the ball.The Jets began screaming and leaping for
joy, only to learn within seconds that a videoreplay was necessary to determine if the bas-ket would count. When the announcer saidthe shot beat the clock, the Jets reallylaunched into a celebration."What they have accomplished is pretty
incredible," a stunned Eagles' coach JoshBaker said at the post-game press confer-ence.Brock Washington, an all-stater for the
Eagles and one of five teammates to score indouble figures, said "it was a great game, agreat fight. We tried to pressure the wingsand someone (Polfus) got behind us."Washington had given the Eagles (21-6)
an 83-82 lead with 8.1 seconds left in the sec-ond overtime when he buried a triple just leftof the key. The Jets quickly raced upcourtand were forced to adjust when the Eagleshad both wing options covered and left Bilski
atop the key with the ball as the final secondswere vanishing.He found Polfus, the team's No. 5 scorer,
had slipped behind the defense and rifled apass to him. It was a tad low and Polfus hadtrouble finding the handle, until the lastbreath of time remained and he hoisted aprayer."Looking at it live, it looked like the ball
left his hand in plenty of time," said adrained North Central coach Adam Mercier."The kids matched their intensity and ath-
leticism with extreme grittiness. Dawsonmade a heads-up play. Dawson has greatfloor vision. It is one of those situationswhere a guy makes a play."There were a ton of plays throughout, with
the Jets playing from behind much of regula-tion. They led 31-30 at halftime but had toscore the final five points to reach that point.They yielded six triples in the first half,
with Harlond Beverly draining 4-of-7 beyondthe arc. The Eagles, who only hit three more
triples after the intermission, seemed readyto pull away when they used a 10-2 third-quarter burst for a 43-35 lead. That moved to49-39 with 2:08 left in the period, but thenthe Jets showed their grittiness as Bilski andBobby Kleiman hit triples to fuel a closing14-4 flurry that tied the game at 53-53 enter-ing the final frame.That helped the two-time defending cham-
pions make their bid to take charge in thefourth quarter, opening a 64-59 lead onKleiman's basket with 4:17 left. But the Jetssuddenly went frigid at the free throw line,missing the front end of two bonus situationsand three-of-five in a stretch of 1:45.The Eagles also amped up the pressure
with their overall quickness and forced a cou-ple of turnovers, forging a 68-67 lead whenBeverly stole the ball and passed to BryceWashington, who finished with a thunderousdunk.Jason Whitens then hit two gift shots with
16.2 left for a 69-68 lead for the Jets, but Bev-erly forced the overtime by hitting the first oftwo free throws with 6.2 left. Whitens misseda 10-footer from the left wing at the buzzer.The Eagles took a 75-71 lead with 1:56 left
in the first overtime, with Caleb Hunter'sexquisite ball handling and darting penetra-tion accounting for all six points. Whitensthen kept a missed NC shot alive by tappingit to Kleiman, who hit a clutch basket with1:21 left. Elijah Hicks hit the front end of a bonus
free throw for the Eagles, who led 76-73 with37.4 seconds left and putting North Central'stitle hopes in serious trouble. But Polfus nar-rowly retrieved his loose dribble at the base-line and the Jets used a timeout with 28.2seconds left to set up a final prayer, whichWhitens answered with a massive triple justright of the key with seven seconds to go.Whitens sent the Jets ahead to start the
second extra session, but Hunter and BryceWashington scored 18 seconds apart for an80-78 Eagles' lead. Bilski kept the Jets'chances alive when he blocked a shot byHunter with 2:02 left, but the Jets againcould not capitalize at the charity stripe bygoing 3-of-6 over the final 1:52 for an 82-80lead.Brock Washington's triple with eight sec-
onds left appeared to doom the Jets, who sim-ply refuse to give up in even the darkestmoments and somehow find a way to survive.Now the Jets face another major challenge
as they try to bounce back from an epicencounter to seek a third straight champi-onship."We'll try to keep riding it, but we've got to
come down from this victory in a quick way,"said Mercier. "We had to be gritty andresilient tonight."The Jets (27-0) used just six players, with
Whitens getting 31 points, Bilski 23 andKleiman 14. North Central hit 29-of-65 field

NEW YORK (AP) — No. 8seed Wisconsin (27-9) vs. No. 4seed Florida (26-8)Sweet 16, East region; New
York; about 10 p.m. EDT (15minutes after first game).BOTTOM LINE: The Badgers
are back in the Sweet 16 for thefourth straight season afterupsetting defending championVillanova in the second round.Wisconsin lost five of six late inthe regular season, but seniorsNigel Hayes and Bronson Koenighave sparked another successfulMarch. Florida is back in theSweet 16 for the first time since2014. The Gators missed theNCAAs altogether the last twoseasons, but second-year coachMike White has them rollingagain. Florida was one of themost dominant teams in the first
two rounds of the tournament,beating East Tennessee by 15and Virginia by 26.VETERAN LEADERSHIP:
Hayes and Koenig rank Nos. 1and 2, respectively, among activeplayers in career points scored inthe NCAA Tournament headinginto the Sweet 16. Hayes has 166points and Koenig has 159. The6-foot-8 Hayes is one of two play-ers in Big Ten history with atleast 1,800 career points, 700rebounds and 300 assists. Theother is former Michigan Statestar Steve Smith. Koenig is oneof the best clutch shooters in thecountry. He is 36 for 71 from 3-point range over the last two sea-sons in the final 5 minutes andovertime.SLUMP: Florida's KeVaughn
Allen, who averaged nearly 14
points coming into the tourna-ment, has 11 total points in twoNCAA games and is 1 for 13 from3-point range. Depth and gettingoffense from different spots hasbeen one of the Gators'strengths. Eight different play-ers have had at least one game inwhich they have led the team inscoring.SECOND-YEAR STAN-
DARDS: White, who took overwhen Billy Donovan left for theNBA, has set a program recordfor victories in his first two sea-sons as Gators head coach with46.Wisconsin coach Greg Gard is
the third coach in the last 20years to lead a team to the Sweet16 each of his first two seasons,joining Gonzaga's Mark Few andUCLA's Steve Lavin.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — It took about 10minutes for Kansas guards Frank Mason III andDevonte Graham to slow down, gain their compo-sure and get everything under control in their Mid-west Regional semifinal.When that happened, everything promptly sped
up for Purdue.The pace of the game turning in their favor, the
high-flying Jayhawks proceeded to wear down thebigger, stronger Boilermakers on Thursday night.And by the time Mason and Graham finished pour-ing in 26 points apiece, No. 1 seed Kansas hadcoasted to a 98-66 victory and a spot in the EliteEight."When we started to slow down and play our
style of basketball, that's when we started rolling,"said Mason, the player of the year front-runner,who also had seven rebounds and seven assists.The Jayhawks will play No. 3 seed Oregon,
which survived a nail-biter earlier in the night, onSaturday night for a spot in their first Final Foursince 2012.Josh Jackson added 15 points and 12 rebounds,
and Landen Lucas did a good job of keeping Purdueforwards Caleb Swanigan and Isaac Haas in check,as the Jayhawks (31-4) turned a seven-point half-time lead into their third consecutive blowout inthe NCAA Tournament.Their beat-down of the Big Ten champs followed
easy wins over UC Davis and Michigan State."You just cannot let them get in transition like
that," Purdue coach Matt Painter said. "If theykeep getting those types of opportunities and shootlike that, they can't be stopped."Swanigan still had 18 points and seven boards
for the No. 4 seed Boilermakers (27-8), but the 6-foot-9, 250-pound All-America candidate had towork for all of it. The Jayhawks kept collapsing onhim in the post, forcing Swanigan to begin taking3-pointers early in the second half.It wasn't much longer before the game was out
of reach."It was one of the best games we've played all
year," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "The second halfwas about as complete as we played. We were pret-ty good at both ends."The game shaped up as a contrast of styles: the
slick, speedy athleticism that carried the Jayhawksto the Big 12 title against the bruising, post-domi-nated play of the Boilermakers.Purdue promptly stunned a sold-out Sprint Cen-
ter by hoisting up early 3-pointers.Their underrated guards took advantage of con-
stant double-teams of Swanigan and Haas in thepaint, letting loose a barrage of deep shots. By thetime Kansas realized the game had started,Painter's team had raced to a 25-18 lead midwaythrough the first half.The Jayhawks eventually found their footing,
and the crowd that showed up a mere 40-minutedrive from their campus in Lawrence provided thesoundtrack to a 22-7 run to end the half.

Dear Annie: I am a long-time reader of your column,but now I need advice. Irecently married my husbandafter nearly a five-yearengagement. Things wererough, as all new things canbe, but we have pulledthrough. However, my hus-band’s mother has begunvocalizing some colorful opin-ions of late, and it is causingproblems. She has beenspreading rumors that I fancyabusing my husband. Shemakes sure to find his friendson social media and then con-vince them that I am harming
him.I am unsure where this
newfound hatred for me iscoming from, but I can thinkof two possible reasons. Thefirst is that despite acting asif she was OK with her son’smarrying another man, sheisn’t very comfortable with it.The second is that she used tobe able to convince him thatshe needed money, which shewould promptly spend at thecasino, a financial burden wecould not afford. I recentlypersuaded him to stop sup-porting her gambling habitand said that if she needssomething, we can buy it forher. I need advice. I want ourmarriage to thrive, but I amafraid his mother will notallow that to happen. Please,any guidance is appreciated.— Loved and LoathedDear Loved and
Loathed: Spreading falserumors about someone is notonly rude; if it goes too far, itcan be considered slander andhave legal consequences. I amin no way suggesting that yousue your mother-in-law, but Iwant to reassure you thatyour frustration is valid andthis is a serious matter.
Likewise, your mother-in-law’s gambling addiction isserious. Addictions have away of ensnaring whole fami-lies in unhealthy patterns ofbehavior. At the very least,you and your husband shouldconsider attending a Gam-Anon meeting in your area. Ifhe refuses to go, then go onyour own at first. (The meet-

The wrong contract requires right playBy Phillip Alder
Anne Bronte said, “There is always a ‘but’ in this imperfect world.”
In today’s deal, North-South reach an imperfect contract, but it can still be made. What is the ideal contract, and how should South play in four hearts after West begins with three rounds of spades?
If South had been allowed to see his partner’s hand, he would have passed out three no-trump (or North, if given X-ray vision, would have raised straight to three no-trump). That contract would have cruised home with an overtrick.
When East played high-low at the first two tricks, West was happy to continue with a third round, knowing that his partner must have the queen. (He would not have signaled a doubleton when he had no trumps.) Declarer did not wonder why West had failed to shift to a club, its being so rarely right to lead a suit when dummy is void in it. If he had, he might have deduced the bad trump break.
South ruffed the third spade on the board and played a heart. When East discarded, declarer had to concede down one, losing two spades, one heart and one club.
After South finished grumbling about the 5-0 break, North pointed out the inference from the third round of spades, then pointed out that by discarding a club from the dummy at trick three, declarer could have almost assured his contract. Whatever East did — win with the queen or ruff — South could have taken the fourth trick, drawn trumps and claimed.
A loser-on-loser play is one of the most difficult to spot.
Dear Doctor: I've been seeing advertise-ments for glutathione, saying the supple-ment enhances the body's cells. The adsalso say the claims haven't been evalu-ated by the Food and Drug Administra-tion. What can you tell me about it?Dear Reader: Glutathione is an antioxi-dant produced in the body through enzy-matic reactions, using the amino acidscysteine, L-glutamic acid and glycine. Ithelps repair cells damaged by pollution,stress and other harmful influences, andit is undeniably important. Mice unable to form glutathione will diebefore birth. Mice that have been geneti-cally altered to not produce glutathione inthe liver will die after one month. Peoplewith mutations in the enzymes that formglutathione are more susceptible to ox-idative stress. The deficiency in the pro-duction of glutathione leads to thebreakdown of red blood cells, enlarge-ment of the spleen, gall stones, and aftermany years can lead to mental deteriora-tion. Also, these patients are more proneto severe anemia when exposed to cer-tain chemicals or drugs.Less is known about glutathione's use asa general supplement, although it hasbeen evaluated by the FDA for AIDS-re-lated weight loss. People with AIDS havereduced production of glutathione in theintestine, and supplementation with glu-tathione could help in the ability to digest
food.Glutathione has also been studied in cys-tic fibrosis patients. Decreased glu-tathione in their intestines can lead toinflammation of the intestine, pain, de-creased absorption of food, weight lossand growth failure. A 2015 study pub-lished in the Journal of Pediatric Gas-troenterology and Nutrition found thatsupplementation with glutathione threetimes per day with meals has beenshown to decrease intestinal inflamma-tion and improve growth in children withcystic fibrosis.Other research assessed glutathione'seffect on people with vascular disease ofthe arteries that go to the legs. De-creased blood flow can lead to calf painwhen walking, but the study found thatglutathione given intravenously twice aday helped ease patient symptoms.Because you're presumably healthy,you're unlikely to have any deficiency inthe production of glutathione. If you're in-terested in improving your body's abilityto recover from exercise by enhancingyour muscles' ability to heal, that's a dif-ferent question. People who exercise vig-orously create oxidative free radicals,which can lead to muscle fatigue and de-crease muscle performance -- suggest-ing that an antioxidant may be helpful. However, people who exercise regularly
naturally produce more antioxidants inthe muscles to prevent damage, possiblyin response to the regular formation ofoxidative free radicals. Regardless, thebody takes care of itself without the needof a supplement. As of yet, there is no good study of theuse of glutathione in healthy people.Some nutritionists recommend increasingthe intake of the amino acids cysteineand glutamate, which make glutathione,but this hasn't been studied either. In short, the supplement has shown ben-efit among cystic fibrosis and AIDS pa-tients who have decreased glutathione inthe intestine, and it may show benefit ininflammatory conditions of the intestine,such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's dis-ease, but this needs to be studied aswell. At this point, I would not recommend tak-ing glutathione. If you're healthy, yourbody should produce an adequateamount of this important antioxidant.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) —Kentucky’s new law requiringdoctors to conduct an ultrasoundexam before an abortion, andthen try to show fetal images tothe pregnant women, cameunder withering attack Thurs-day in federal court.An American Civil Liberties
Union attorney referred to the 2-month-old law championed byRepublican lawmakers as a“gross deviation” from medicalethics, bidding to block itsenforcement. One abortionprovider said it hasn’t changedthe minds of any of her patientsbut caused some of them to cry.Steve Pitt, an attorney repre-
senting Kentucky’s Cabinet forHealth and Family Services, saidthe law reflects the state’s legiti-mate interests to protect thewell-being of pregnant womenand their fetuses. He said theinformation could sway somewomen to opt against terminat-ing their pregnancies.“Saving one life is enough if
that’s what it does,” said Pitt,chief attorney for Kentucky Gov.Matt Bevin.U.S. District Judge David J.
Hale heard more than six hoursof arguments and testimony onthe ACLU’s request to temporar-ily block the law. Passed by Ken-tucky’s GOP-led Legislature inJanuary, the law took effect afterthe Republican governor signedit.Hale did not immediately
rule on the ACLU’s request andsaid he would accept more writ-ten arguments from both sidesin the first federal court chal-lenge of the law. The ACLU isseeking the temporary restrain-ing order while it pushes itslawsuit asking that the law bestruck down.The law requires abortion
providers to perform an ultra-sound exam before an abortionand to display and describeultrasound images to pregnantwomen, though women can averttheir eyes. The procedure also
seeks to detect the fetal heart-beat, but women can ask that thevolume of the heartbeat bereduced or turned off.Besides Kentucky, three other
states have laws requiring pre-abortion ultrasounds and a doc-tor then showing the women theimage and describing it, accord-ing to the Guttmacher Institute,a research group that supportsabortion rights. Another 10states require doctors to performan ultrasound before an abor-tion, and in nine of those states,pregnant women must be offeredthe option to view the image, itsaid.The ACLU claims the Ken-
tucky law violates First Amend-ment rights. It sued on behalf ofthe state’s lone remaining abor-tion provider.The law requires abortion
providers to describe what theultrasound shows, including thelocation of the fetus in the uterusand the presence of internalorgans.
Kentucky’s abortion law faces attacks in court
SCIENCE SAYS: Unavoidabletypos in DNA help fuel cancerWASHINGTON (AP) — Can-
cer patients often wonder “whyme?” Does their tumor run in thefamily? Did they try hard enoughto avoid risks like smoking, toomuch sun or a bad diet?Lifestyle and heredity get the
most blame but new researchsuggests random chance plays abigger role than people realize:Healthy cells naturally makemistakes when they multiply,unavoidable typos in DNA thatcan leave new cells carrying can-cer-prone genetic mutations.How big? About two-thirds of
the mutations that occur in vari-ous forms of cancer are due tothose random copying errors,researchers at Johns HopkinsUniversity reported Thursday inthe journal Science.Whoa: That doesn’t mean
most cases of cancer are due sole-ly to “bad luck.” It takes multiplemutations to turn cells intotumors — and a lot of cancer ispreventable, the Hopkins teamstressed, if people take provenprotective steps.Thursday’s report is an esti-
mate, based on a math model,that is sure to be hotly debatedby scientists who say thoseunavoidable mistakes of natureplay a much smaller role.But whatever the ultimate
number, the research offers apeek at how cancer may begin.And it should help with the
“why me” question from peoplewho have “done everything weknow can be done to prevent can-cer but they still get it,” saidHopkins’ Dr. Bert Vogelstein, apioneer in cancer genetics whoco-authored the study. “Theyneed to understand that thesecancers would have occurred nomatter what they did.”
GENE MUTATIONS CAUSECANCER BUT WHAT CAUSESTHE MUTATIONS?You might inherit some muta-
tions, like flaws in BRCA genesthat are infamous for causingaggressive breast and ovariancancers in certain families.More commonly, damage is
caused by what scientists callenvironmental factors — theassault on DNA from the worldaround us and how we live ourlives. There’s a long list of risks:Cigarette smoke, UV light fromthe sun, other forms of radiation,certain hormones or viruses, anunhealthy diet, obesity and lackof exercise.Then there are those random
copy errors in cells — what Vogel-stein calls our baseline rate ofgenetic mutations that will occurno matter how healthy we live.One way to think of it: If we
all have some mutations lurkingin our cells anyway, that’s yetanother reason to avoid knownrisks that could push us over the
edge.
HOW CELLS MAKE TYPOSNew cells are formed when an
existing cell divides and copiesits DNA, one cell turning intotwo. Every time DNA is copied,about three random mutationsoccur, Vogelstein said.We all harbor these kinds of
mutations and most don’t hurt usbecause they’re in genes thathave nothing to do with cancer orthe body’s defense mechanismsspot and fix the damage, said Dr.Otis Brawley of the AmericanCancer Society, who wasn’tinvolved in the new research.But sometimes the errors hit
the wrong spot and damagegenes that can spur cancerousgrowth or genes that help the cellspot and fix problems. Then thedamaged cells can survive tocopy themselves, allowing impor-tant mutations to graduallybuild up over time. That’s onereason the risk of cancer increas-es with age.
THE STUDY FINDINGSThursday’s study follows 2015
research by Vogelstein andstatistician Cristian Tomasettithat introduced the idea that alot of cancer may be due to “badluck,” because those randomDNA copying mistakes are morecommon in some kinds of cancerthan others. Cancer preventionadvocates worried the idea mightsway people to give up on health-ier lifestyles.This time around, the duo
analyzed mutations involved in32 types of cancer to estimatethat 66 percent of the gene flawsare due to random copy errors.Environmental and lifestyle fac-tors account for another 29 per-cent, while inherited genes madeup just 5 percent of the muta-tions.
DIFFERENT ORGANS, DIF-FERENT RISKSThe same person can harbor a
mix of mutations sparked by ran-dom DNA mistakes, heredity orenvironmental factors. Andwhich is the most common factordiffers by cancer, the Hopkinsteam said.For example, they estimate
that random cell errors accountfor 77 percent of critical muta-tions in pancreatic cancer —while still finding some causedby lifestyle risks like smoking.And the random DNA mistakescaused nearly all the mutationsleading to childhood cancers,which is not surprising becauseyoungsters have had little timeto be exposed to environmentalrisks.In contrast, most lung cancer
mutations were the result oflifestyle factors, mainly fromsmoking. And while lung tissuedoesn’t multiply frequently, thesmall number of mutationscaused by chance DNA errorsmight explain rare cases ofnever-smokers who still get sick.“This paper is a good paper,”
said the cancer society’s Brawley.“It gives prevention its duerespect.”
OTHER SCIENTISTS SEEMORE TO THE STORYEstimates from Britain sug-
gest 42 percent of cancers arepotentially preventable with ahealthy lifestyle, and the Hop-kins team says their mutationresearch backs that idea.But Dr. Yusuf Hannun, Stony
Brook University’s cancer centerdirector, contends that’s just thenumber known to be preventabletoday — researchers may discov-er additional environmentalrisks we can guard against in thefuture.

Florida Speaker: Suspend prosecutor whonixes death penaltyTALLAHASEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida House
Speaker Richard Corcoran has called on the gover-nor to suspend a prosecutor for pledging to not seekthe death penalty in any case while she is in office.Corcoran said Thursday that Orlando State
Attorney Aramis Ayala was “violating the constitu-tion” because she is not even considering the death
penalty. Capital punishment is authorized underthe Florida Constitution. Corcoran added that ifFlorida lawmakers had the power to impeachAyala, they would already be doing so.Gov. Rick Scott removed Ayala from a high-pro-
file police murder case last week after sheannounced her decision against the death penalty.Ayala argues Scott has overstepped his bounds andfiled a motion in response, asking a judge to let herpresent her argument in court.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — TheMemphis mayor’s office is pitch-ing in to help figure out thefuture of the dilapidated housewhere soul singer ArethaFranklin was born, a lawyer saidThursday.Alan Crone, special counsel to
Memphis Mayor Jim Strickland,told a judge that a working groupfrom the mayor’s office plans toassist other stakeholders con-cerned about the preservationand future use of the historichome.Crone said the group would
seek funding sources to preservethe house, which has become asymbol of Memphis’ massiveblight problem. He said the cityhas been contacted by “seriouspeople” who are interested insaving the house: It sits in aneighborhood dealing with aban-doned houses, vacant lots andcrime.Crone said it’s time for the
Memphis community to “stepup.”“If we can get one house right,
no matter where it is, that’s avictory,” Crone told Shelby Coun-ty Environmental Court JudgeLarry Potter during a hearing.“But this is a historic property,and it’s part of our heritage asMemphians that all kinds ofmusic was literally born here.”Franklin, known as the
“Queen of Soul,” was born in thehouse in 1942. Her family movedaway from Memphis about twoyears later.The house has been vacant for
years, and there’s no historicalmarker indicating its signifi-cance.Lawyers, community leaders
and Potter have been trying tofind ways to save the house,which sits empty with its win-dows boarded up. Potter hadordered the house demolished,but he put that order on hold lastyear after volunteers stabilizedthe crumbling structure.The house has been placed in
a receivership, headed by JeffreyHiggs, president of the LeMoyne-Owen College Community Devel-opment Corporation. Higgs toldPotter last month that he hasbeen in discussions with a pro-ducer at the DIY Network on aplan to repair and move thehouse to another location for oneof its programs.Higgs said Thursday those
discussions were ongoing. Headded that work to fix the roofcould start by the end of March.Some would like to see the
house moved to a safer location,to make it more attractive forvisitors, including out-of-towntourists. Potter said Thursdaythat he would prefer to see thehouse rescued by local entities,but if the DIY Network or otheroutside groups are willing tohelp, then that’s fine too.“I’ll go out and help them,”
Potter said. “I’m not going to benailing up anything because itwould be crooked if I nailed it up.I’m not a carpenter. But I’m seri-ous about the fact that I wantthat building rehabbed.”

Weed seeds are among themost patient organisms innature. Many weeds can producethousands of seeds per plant peryear, and those seeds might liedormant for decades, just wait-ing for the right conditions tosprout.If you want to control weeds,
then find where these seeds accu-mulate — in “seed banks.”“Gardeners should care
because that’s where all theirseeds are coming from,” said EdPeachey, a weed science special-ist with Oregon State UniversityExtension. “If you don’t preventweeds from producing seeds,then you’ll wind up with largeseed banks, and always fightingwith the weeds that emerge fromthose seed banks.”Weeds are unwanted because
they are considered unattractivein manicured yards, they spreadquickly, and they muscle aside
desirable plants from life-givingsunlight, nutrients and moisture.“Understand what you have in
your garden and then decidewhat to get rid of,” Peachey said.“Some weeds are incredibly welladapted to gardens and theycompete.”Weed seeds or banks accumu-
late in neglected lawns, neardownspouts and shaded areas,around pathways and driveways,in newly cultivated ground —even under decks, despite thescarcity of sunlight.Weeds have a number of
things in common, said SandraMason, an extension horticultur-ist with University of IllinoisExtension.“They go through their life
cycle rapidly, flower quickly, pro-duce vast quantities of seeds, andhave some seed adaptations fortravel by wind, water or ani-mals,” Mason said in a fact sheet.Soil movement and changes in
water content invigorate annual
seeds, Peachey said. “Most weedseeds don’t live particularly long,a few years perhaps. But therealways are a few that can linger.”A dandelion may produce
15,000 seeds per year, purslanemore than 52,000, while pigweedcan leave behind over 117,000,according to Colorado State Uni-versity Extension horticulturists.Purslane and pigweed seeds canpersist in the soil for 20 and 40years respectively, they said.One Arctic plant was success-
fully germinated after its seedslay frozen for 32,000 years in theSiberian tundra, said Russianscientists who used radiocarbondating to validate their claim.Weed management options
are many and varied.“Hand-weed in small spaces,”
Peachey said. “Use organicmulches to keep weeds fromemerging and producing seedslater. Create stale seed banks bydisturbing the soil, using a flam-ing tool to burn off whatever
weeds sprout up, and then doyour planting.”It takes two or three weeks for
seeds to emerge though, so thatscorched-earth policy may delayspring gardening.“Use specialized hoes,”
Peachey said. “Triangular hoesor hoop hoes are good at gettingthe entire weed root out.”Peachey doesn’t recommend
using chemicals in vegetable gar-dens unless you’re working withmore than a tenth of an acre.“Very few (chemicals) that arelabeled for garden use are practi-cal,” he said.Be observant. When weeds
make seeds, they make themfast.“It’s important to watch weeds
through the entire summer sea-son,” Peachey said. “If some getby, and if you can’t dig them out,then at least cut off their seedheads. It’s cheaper to get rid ofthe seeds than it is to fight theweeds.”
Weed control starts with seeds
Program for urban kids mixesethnic salads, business lessonsMINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Next
time you’re at a Twins game,maybe skip the Polish sausageand cheese curds.Instead, try ethnic salads cre-
ated by urban youth from neigh-borhood gardening programs,Minnesota Public Radio reported.On a recent Saturday, more
than 20 young people gathered ina classroom, wearing greenaprons with the logo “Roots for theHome Team.” Most of theseteenagers didn’t know each other.They’re in different grades and
schools across the Twin Cities.They’re black, white, Asian, His-panic and Native American youthfrom different socioeconomic back-grounds.What they have in common is a
commitment to food justice — theidea that all communities canhave access to fresh, healthyfoods.Roots for the Home Team is a
nonprofit founded by SusanMoores, a dietician. Her organiza-tion buys produce directly fromlocal gardens, recruits young peo-ple from those programs to makeunique salad recipes, then paysthem to sell their product atsports venues or at grocery storeslike Kowalski’s.“The chefs here today are your
guiding hands,” Mooresannounced to the group, referringto executive chefs from popularTwin Cities restaurants and foodtrucks who waited in a kitchenattached to the classroom.There, spread out on stainless
steel counters, were purplekohlrabi, cherry tomatoes andgreens of all kinds. Bottles ofsriracha and olive oil sat next totamarind sauces and smokedpaprika. Fruits filled small bas-kets.One student started washing
kale as another measured peanutbutter for a dressing. Othersasked questions about seasonings,and whether to cook some vegeta-bles or let consumers eat themraw.Alexus Kloetzke-Wilson, 17, is
part of the Urban Roots garden-ing program in St. Paul. “Foodsfrom different cultures are so dif-ferent,” she said. “But once youbring them to one place, I feel likenewer and better things come outof it.”Her salad is Southeast Asian-
inspired, and is called East SidePad-Thai. It has seared bok-choy,julienne carrots, diced cucumbers,and North Korean chili grownlocally. Chef Yia Vang, who runsthe pop-up Hmong restaurantUnion Kitchen, said kids andadults often think it takes a lot ofwork to make a good meal.“Starting with the concept of a
salad, it’s easy enough that it’s notintimidating, so kids are like, ‘Oh,you put a bunch of vegetablestogether,’” Vang said — addingthat the use of vegetables “doesn’t
mean it has to be boring.”Lisa Carlson and Carrie Sum-
mer own Chef Shack company inMinneapolis. The two are some-times referred to as the “godmoth-ers” of food trucking in Minnesota.They showed some of the youthhow to shave carrots, toast pecansand pickle vegetables.Matt Quist, a corporate chef
with Taher Incorporated, helpedhis crew create the All NationsLake Street Salad. It has black-eyed peas, roasted corn and shred-ded collard greens with a salsaverde dressing, a family recipefrom one of the young chefs.That’s the word he uses for
each of his students.“Chef is just a term of respect,”
he said. “We’re treating each otherwith respect. I respect them, andthink highly of them.”Another chef showed John
Washington, 15, how to makecouscous. The young man is fromthe north Minneapolis garden pro-gram Appetite for Change. Lastseason he sold other gardeninggroups’ salads.“I was surprised how much
people wanted to eat the salads,”he recalled. “It sold out plenty oftimes, because people wanted ahealthy alternative instead of thesame type of food every time theygo there.”This time, he’s the chef. “I’m
helping myself, because I learnfuture skills,” he said. “I have to,just because the way the world isset up, I’ve got to just stay lookingahead.”He works closely with Darryl
Lindsey, the director of operationsfor Appetite for Change.Lindsey said many of the young
chefs have limited exposure to theworld beyond a 25-block radius.“So to be able to come to St. Paul,to be in this beautiful kitchen,working with other young people,and these executive chefs? It’sgreat seeing them discover andlearn, and find out things thatthey didn’t know before,” he said.Salad-making is the fun part,
said Susan Moores, director ofRoots for the Home Team. Thehard part is when these kids goout and sell their salads to com-plete strangers.“That first game is the biggest
leap of courage and risk for them,”she said. “And every single one ofthem steps up.”Roots for the Home Team will
have nearly 10 ethnic salads forsale at Twins games.“Not only were we doing this
wonderful thing with their food,but we’re really having some won-derful experiences for these youth,where they walk out of there feel-ing like they’ve got a whole lotmore opportunity in their lives,”she said. “They’re so many morepossibilities, and there’s such agreater audience that’s so appre-ciative of who they are. That’s themagic.”
