Kerry pushes back on criticism of Iran nuke talks By George Jahn and Matthew Lee Associated Press MONTREUX, Switzerland — U.S. officials sought Wednesday to tamp down expectations of a substantial preliminary nuclear deal with Iran by the March deadline while working to move past the political dust kicked up by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s criticism of an emerging agreement’s contours. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Washington was well aware of the potential nuclear danger Iran poses to countries in the region and will endorse only an agreement that seriously and verifiably crimps Tehran’s ability to make atomic arms. “We continue to be focused on reaching a good deal, the right deal, that closes off any paths that Iran could have towards fissile material for a weapon and that protects the world from the enormous threat that we all know a nuclear-armed Iran would pose,” Kerry told reporters at the end of meetings with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif. The Iranian diplomat told NBC News on Wednesday, “We believe that we are very close, very close.” The sides hope to have a progress report by late March allowing them to finesse details into a final pact by June. But a senior U.S. official appeared to walk back from the significance of that first stage, describing it as only “an understanding that’s going to have to be filled out with lots of detail” by the June final target date. The official’s comments could be an attempt to stretch the interpretation of what should be achieved by March, allowing further negotiations even if nothing more is achieved than a vague declaration. They contrast sharply with what the West laid down earlier.

Nearly a year Rebel officials insisted into the afternoon that of bitter fighting by pro-Moscow rebels and only one person had died. Associated Press But a slightly wounded miner who gave his name only as Sergei told The Associated Press that he saw five bodies being pulled out. By nightfall, Yuliana Bedilko, a representative for the rebelmanaged rescue services at the site of accident, said another 23 bodies had been located below ground, bringing the overall number of confirmed dead to 24. Under cover of darkness, a truck pulled up in the heavy rain to the mine’s opening in preparation to take the bodies away. A woman emerging from the mine was heard wailing in grief from a distance. Rebel officials had said earlier that 32 workers were unaccounted for, suggesting 16 still remained trapped as of the evening. A news agency run by the sepa- ratist government reported that 14 people were injured in the accident. Igor Murygin, a 42-year-old miner being treated for burns at a hospital in Donetsk, said he was blown off his feet by the explosion. “When I came to, there was dust everywhere. People were groaning,” said Murygin, who suffered burns over 20 percent of his body. The mine had recently installed new equipment and nothing appeared to be out of order, he added. Speaking in Kiev, Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk accused rebels of preventing a team of 60 Ukrainian rescuers from reaching the mine to provide assistance. But leading rebel representative Denis Pushilin denied that Ukrainian authorities had offered any help. 3 $ NOP 2015 OHIO DEER & TURKEY EXPO .00 DISCOUNT ON One-Day ADULT or MILITARY Ticket P!"ce#"!c$%des#&ax#&#ad" "ss"o!#o!$y.#No#" o!e&a!y#!a$%e.#'#co%(o!#(e!#c%s&o" e!.

Western and Iranian negotiators said then they would use the time between March and June only “if necessary ... to finalize any possible remaining technical and drafting work.” The U.S. official, who demanded anonymity in line with State Department rules, said President Barack Obama will make a call on whether to continue into June once he sees the March assessment from U.S. negotiators. Playing down the prospects of any lasting damage to U.S.-Israeli ties caused by Netanyahu’s speech to the joint houses of Congress Tuesday, the U.S. official said senior Israeli officials would be briefed by secure phone by top U.S. negotiators on the latest round. Still the Netanyahu speech is likely to further embolden critics in U.S. Congress who fear the U.S. may accept terms too lenient on Iran. He told Congress Tuesday that the agreement taking shape is dangerous and would allow Iran the ability to develop nuclear weapons. Last week, senators introduced legislation to give Congress a say over any deal, and Republicans are trying to get it passed even as the talks continue. The American public appears divided. A new Associated Press-GfK poll shows more than 6 in 10 Americans initially say that they favor Congress instituting new sanctions against Iran, while only 7 percent say they are opposed. Another quarter of Americans say they are neither in favor nor opposed. But the new poll also finds that 31 percent of those who initially said they support new sanctions say that Congress should hold off if the administration says it would reduce the likelihood of a future deal. In total, about 4 in 10 Americans think Congress should go forward with sanctions even over the president’s protests. Calcet® is designed to help stop low calcium leg cramps.

But unlike his uncontroversial appearances in 2011 and 1996, Mr. Netanyahu’s speech fomented much sound and fury in the nation’s Capital. Israel’s leader accepted an invitation from House Speaker John Boehner to convey to lawmakers his nation’s grave concern that the Obama administration will strike a long-term nuclear deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran, which, Mr. Netanyahu fears, “could threaten the survival of Israel.” That Mr. Netanyahu decided to make his case to Congress did not set well with the Obama White House. Indeed, the president has refused to meet with his Israeli counterpart. Vice President Joe Biden (who also has the ceremonial role of president of the Senate) did not attend Mr. Netanyahu’s address. Susan Rice, Mr. Obama’s national security adviser, called the Israeli prime minister’s visit “destructive” to relations between Washington and Jerusalem. And at least 30 Democratic lawmakers were expected to boycott Mr. Netanyahu’s speech, in deference to the president. In the meantime, Secretary of State John Kerry argued that the Obama administration deserves “the benefit of the doubt” in its continuing negotiations with Tehran. He bases that on the “success” of the short-term nuclear agreement the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China reached with Iran in 2013, which, according to Mr. Kerry, has made Israel safer. But Mr. Netanyahu’s wariness about a nuclear agreement between the United States and Iran is not the result of his unwillingness to give the Obama administration the benefit of the doubt, but because he doesn’t believe Tehran has earned the benefit of the doubt. Indeed, the International Atomic Energy Agency said Monday that Iran has yet to turn over information — due since August — concerning suspected explosives tests and other measures that might have been used to develop a nuclear weapon. As such, said IAEA Director Yukiya Amano, his agency “is not in a position to provide credible assurance about the absence of undeclared nuclear material, and therefore to conclude that all nuclear material in Iran is in peaceful activities.” The Obama administration wants Israel to accept — on faith — that Iran will be more compliant with the long-term nuclear agreement it is negotiating with the United States and the other five world powers than it has been with the shortterm nuclear pact agreed to in 2013, and which it already has violated, according to the IAEA. That is why Mr. Netanyahu rightly fears that the pending long-term agreement poses a threat to his nation’s survival. Reprinted from the Orange County Register.

To move a political debate this simply is not good enough. It is impossible to scare people with a long list of methodological imponderables and projections showing far-off harms, should the modeling hold up over eight decades. The imperative is to show that, in Holdren’s words, “climate change is an urgent public health, safety, national security, and environmental imperative” (emphasis added). It has to be counted a small victory in this project that Pielke will no longer be an obstacle. Citing his harassment, Pielke has sworn off academic work on climate issues. And so the alarmists have hounded a serious researcher out of the climate business. All hail science! The other day, the head of the IPCC, Rajendra Pachauri, quit amid a sexual-harassment scandal and noted in his letter of resignation: “For me the protection of Planet Earth, the survival of all species and sustainability of our ecosystems is more than a mission. It is my religion.” Is it too much to ask that the man in charge of a project supposedly marshaling the best scientific evidence for the objective consideration of a highly complex and contested phenomenon not feel that he has a religious commitment to a certain outcome? Why, yes it is. The kind of people who run inquisitions may lack for perspective and careful respect for the facts and evidence. But they never lack for zeal.

Today’s Highlight in History: On March 5, 1770, the Boston Massacre took place as British soldiers who’d been taunted by a crowd of colonists opened fire, killing five people. On this date: In 1766, Antonio de Ulloa arrived in New Orleans to assume his duties as the first Spanish governor of the Louisiana Territory, where he encountered resistance from the French residents. In 1868, the Senate was organized into a Court of Impeachment to decide charges against President Andrew Johnson, who was later acquitted. In 1933, in German parliamentary elections, the Nazi Party won 44 percent of the vote; the Nazis joined with a conservative nationalist party to gain a slender majority in the Reichstag. In 1946, Winston Churchill delivered his “Iron Curtain” speech at Westminster College in Fulton, Mo. In 1953, Soviet dictator Josef Stalin died after three decades in power. Composer Sergei Prokofiev died in Moscow at age 61. In 1955, Elvis Presley made his television debut on “Louisiana Hayride” carried by KSLA-TV Shreveport (although audio recordings exist, there is no known video footage of this appearance). In 1960, Cuban newspaper photographer Alberto Korda took the now-famous picture of guerrilla leader Ernesto “Che” Guevara during a memorial service in Havana for victims of a ship explosion. Elvis Presley was discharged from the U.S. Army. Today’s Birthdays: Actor James Noble is 93. Actor Paul Sand is 83. Actor James B. Sikking is 81. Actor Dean Stockwell is 79.

(AP) — Bill Self has won 190 of the 199 games he’s coached in Allen Fieldhouse. This may have been the most satisfying, and improbable, of them all. The ninth-ranked Jayhawks were down 18 points to No. 20 West Virginia, a team that had beaten them on the road two weeks earlier. They would be outrebounded 46-34. Two of their best players were out of the game. And from behind the 3-point arc, they would go 0 for 15. Somehow they won. Frank Mason III scored the final six points of overtime and the Jayhawks clinched their 11th straight Big 12 regular season championship with a 76-69 victory Tuesday night. They missed by only one point of matching the biggest comeback in the 60-year history of Allen Fieldhouse. “We haven’t had a better win here for higher stakes than what that was,” said an exhausted Self. “As a coach, when you have good players and you play well, you should win. But it always means a little more when you can’t get anything going and somehow the kids figure out a way to do it. It was pretty special for me to sit there and watch those guys pull it off.” Mason had 19 points for the Jayhawks, whose 11 straight conference titles trail only the 13 in a row UCLA won in the John Wooden era. Junior forward Perry Ellis, the Jayhawks’ leading scorer, appeared to injure his knee late in the first half and did not return. Forward Cliff Alexander, who is awaiting an NCAA ruling on an eligibility issue, was also out. “Our main goal as a team was to get stops, keep fighting and keep believing,” said Mason, the starting point guard. Daxter Miles had 23 points for West Virginia (22-8, 10-7), which was without star guard Juwan Staten, who had scored at least 20 points in each of the last three games against Kansas. Also out with an injury was guard Gary Browne. “We deserved to win the game. We really did,” said a visibly upset West Virginia coach Bob Huggins. “We just didn’t do enough at the end.” Kansas, which clinched at least a share of the title with Iowa State’s victory over Oklahoma on Monday, finally tied it 59-all on two free throws by Devonte Graham with 11.5 seconds left in regulation. Miles’ 3-pointer gave West Virginia a quick 63-61 overtime lead before Jamari Traylor’s three-point play made it 64-63. Mason went 4 for 4 from the free throw line in the waning seconds, the final shot going in with 4.1 seconds to play as the Jayhawks completed a 16-0 home season. “Guys were stepping up and we fought back,” said Traylor, who had 14 points. “We don’t get scared. We always know it’s a possibility that we can come back.” The Mountaineers stunned the favored Jayhawks and their 230th consecutive sellout crowd with an 18-4 run in the first half to take a 22-10 lead. Kelly Oubre’s basket had Kansas ahead 6-4 with 16:59 left in the half. But stymied by West Virginia’s swarming defense and overwhelmed on the offensive and defensive boards, the Jayhawks did not make another field goal until Hunter Mickelson, a little-used reserve, got a layup at the 8:31 mark The Mountaineers’ lead reached 38-22 when Tarik Phillip’s two free throws and basket capped an 8-0 spurt near the end of the half. The Jayhawks, who were 0 for 7 from behind the arc and were outrebounded 26-11, were within 40-26 at halftime by hitting 12 of 14 free throws.

We’ve already had her in the gym a couple times, she has a good swing speed, good mechanics and looks like a good hitter.” This is the 11th year of softball at OU-C, which began it’s program in 2005. OU-C has won three of the last four ORCC regular season championships. “Overall I really enjoyed going there,” Barnes said. “The campus is really nice there and so are the coaches and the players. I chose softball because its my best sport. it’s what I put all my time into over the summer, going as far as Florida. I’ve worked my whole life for softball.” Barnes has starred on the basketball team while at GAHS, where she recently joining the Blue Angels’ 1,000 point club. “Kendra is a four-year letterman and the hub of our team,” GAHS softball head coach Scott Stanley said. “She’s our shortstop so she directs our infield and she’ll be one of our captains this year. She always helps the other girls develop their game; She’s an all-out leader and a great athlete.” Kendra is leaning toward majoring in early childhood development but is currently undecided.

(AP) — Kentucky has been in some close games. This was a new predicament, however. With just over 9 minutes to go, the topranked Wildcats found themselves down by nine points, facing an inspired Georgia team and a hostile crowd, their perfect season very much in jeopardy. No problem. Kentucky clamped down defensively and turned to freshman Karl-Anthony Towns to carry the offensive load, ripping off a 14-0 run that finally put away the pesky Bulldogs 72-64 on Tuesday night. Did losing cross the Wildcats’ minds? Not a chance. “We think about what we need to do to win the game,” Towns said. And now, the Wildcats are 30-0, just one win away from a perfect regular season. They’ll try to finish that off Saturday against Florida at Rupp Arena. From there, it’s on to the Southeastern Conference tournament, where Kentucky will be a huge favorite. Then comes the NCAA Tournament and an expected No. 1 seed. At this point, there are not too many more chances for the Wildcats to lose and still reach their ultimate goal: a national championship. “The championship is much more important than the perfect season,” said Aaron Harrison, who also made some huge plays in the closing minutes. “But we’re winding down.” Perhaps, he surmised, “We’re going to need to be undefeated to win the championship.” The Wildcats, who improved to 17-0 in the SEC, had won their previous five games by an average of 24 points. They have become a college version of Showtime, drawing plenty of big names every time they take the court, everyone wanting to get a glimpse of a team that has a shot at college basketball’s first perfect season since 1976. Among those who turned out in Athens: Super Bowl-winning coach Bill Belichick, former NBA star Charles Barkley, disgraced Atlanta Hawks general manager Danny Ferry, and actress Ashely Judd, hitting the road to watch her beloved Wildcats. They were really challenged in this one by Georgia (19-10, 10-7), which had the sellout crowd roaring when Yante Maten tipped in a miss of his own shot on the second attempt to put the Bulldogs up 56-47 with 9:12 remaining.

Kentucky won 72-64 and improved to 30-0. wins over Mississippi and Texas A&M at the start of SEC play back in January. Twice this season, they have trailed by as many as 11 points, but both of those deficits were in the first half, when the Wildcats still had plenty of time to seize control. Georgia, using its quickness on the inside to offset Kentucky’s huge size advantage, had the Wildcats on the ropes after Maten’s hustle play capped a 17-4 spurt. Andrew Harrison knocked down a 3-pointer from the corner to turn the tide, but Kentucky was still in some trouble when Nemanja Djurisic drove for a basket and Marcus Thornton hit two free throws to make it 62-56 with 5 1-2 minutes to go. That was Georgia’s last gasp. The Wildcats began pounding the ball inside to the 6-foot-11 Towns, who managed to stay in the game until the closing seconds after picking up his fourth foul. He led the team with 19 points, all but two coming in the second half. “You have kids here who have a will to win, they believe they’re going to win, and they made the plays they needed to make,” Kentucky coach John Calipari said. Towns and Aaron Harrison were both huge down the stretch, combining for 12 of the 14 points during the decisive run. Towns had seven, including a three-point play with 2:53 left that put Kentucky ahead to stay. Harrison chipped in with five, and Willie CauleyStein came up with a massive dunk off a missed free throw to give the Wildcats a four-point play on one possession. Georgia hurt its chances by missing three straight 1-and-1s. “We did some good things, some really good things,” Thornton said. “We just didn’t play perfect enough to win.” Still, this was a strong indication that Georgia deserves its first NCAA BROADCAST 3 4 6 (WOUB) 8 (WCHS) 10 (WBNS) 11 (WVAH) 12 (WPBY) 13 (WOWK) Call us at: 740.992.2155 PM CABLE Eyewitness News at 6 10TV News at 6 p.m. Two and a Half Men BBC World News: America 13 News at 6:00 p.m. 6 PM 6:30 THURSDAY, MARCH 5 7 PM 7:30 NBC Nightly News NBC Nightly News ABC World News DragonflyTV Wheel of Jeopardy!

Georgia has reached the tournament 20 straight years for the nation’s fourth-longest active streak, but a lateseason slide has put the Lady Bulldogs’ postseason hopes in serious jeopardy. A number of other schools also are facing the possibility of being left out for the first time in years. Here’s a look at teams with relatively long NCAA Tournament streaks at risk: GEORGIA: The Lady Bulldogs (18-11, 6-10 SEC) have reached the tournament 20 straight times, but this hasn’t been one of their typical seasons. Georgia was 17-3 when leading scorer Shacobia Barbee broke a bone in her lower right leg last month in a loss at Tennessee, making her one of five players to be lost for the season due to injuries or transfers. That trip to Tennessee began an eight-game losing streak — Georgia’s longest since 197677 — that didn’t end until the Lady Bulldogs closed the regular season Sunday with a 52-45 victory at Florida. The only schools with longer active NCAA Tournament streaks than Georgia are Tennessee (33), Stanford (27) and Connecticut (26). Duke also has earned 20 straight NCAA bids. MARIST: After winning the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference’s automatic bid each of the last nine seasons, Marist (19-10, 15-5) is facing a major challenge. Quinnipiac (28-3, 20-0) has won 18 straight and defeated Marist 73-55 and 80-62 in their two meetings to end the Red Foxes’ string of 11 consecutive MAAC regularseason championships. THE DAILY SENTINEL Community News Sports Scores Editorials Church Events Breaking News Story idea or news tip? Call 992.2155 The MAAC hasn’t earned multiple NCAA bids since 2001, so it’s hard to imagine Marist earning a 10th consecutive NCAA invitation unless it can overtake Quinnipiac in the conference tournament. BEAT-UP BIG TEN: This has been an unusual season for a few Big Ten programs. Purdue (10-19, 3-15) and Penn State (6-23, 3-15) are tied for last place in the conference standings after earning NCAA bids each of the last four years. Michigan State (15-14, 7-11) has an even longer streak in jeopardy. The Spartans, who have reached six straight NCAA tournaments, needed to win its last three regularseason games just to get above .500. Michigan State opened the season ranked No. 14, but a series of injuries and the transfer of Jasmine Lumpkin left the Spartans with only seven healthy players at one point in the year. Michigan State lost its first five Big Ten games before rallying late in the season. MIDDLE TENNESSEE: The Blue Raiders’ bid for a seventh straight NCAA Tournament appearance suffered a major setback last week when senior forward Cheyenne Parker was dismissed for unspecified violations of athletic department policy. Parker was Conference USA’s second-leading scorer and rebounder. In its first game without her, Middle Tennessee (18-8, 12-4 Conference USA) fell 62-57 at home to UAB for its second straight loss. Although Middle Tennessee has a quality record, Western Kentucky (25-4, 14-2) is the likely No. 1 seed in the Conference USA tournament. It has been a onebid league each of the last three years. VANDERBILT: The Commodores (14-15, 5-11) have earned 15 straight NCAA bids but likely must win the SEC Tournament as the No. 11 seed to keep that streak going. An inability to protect the basketball has caused Vanderbilt’s downfall. The Commodores have committed 20.5 turnovers per game, the most of any SEC team. Vanderbilt hasn’t been left out of the tournament since 1999, which also marks the last time the team finished below .500. WEST VIRGINIA: After earning a No. 2 seed last year in its fifth consecutive NCAA tournament appearance, West Virginia (17-13, 7-11 Big 12) finds itself on the bubble. It hurt its postseason hopes by dropping its first four Big 12 games. The Mountaineers also have lost four of their last six. After erasing a 14-point, second-half deficit Sunday in a 76-69 overtime victory over Texas, West Virginia squandered a double-digit lead Tuesday and fell 59-55 to Kansas State. IOWA STATE: The Cyclones (18-11, 9-9) are another Big 12 team with an NCAA streak at stake. Iowa State took a giant step closer to a ninth straight bid last week with a 76-71 triumph over No. 6 Baylor — which was ranked third at the time — but they followed that up with a 68-64 loss at Kansas. Daily Sentinel College sports show dip in gender and racial hiring RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — A diversity report released Wednesday on college sports has issued its lowest grade for racial and gender hiring practices in its nearly two-decade history. The report card from The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport says NCAA member schools are hiring fewer women and minorities for sports jobs, while the scores for hiring women in particular have dipped significantly during the past two years. The combined overall grade for college sports in 2014 was a C with 74 points, down from a C-plus and 79.1 points in 2013. It was the lowest combined score since the first report released in 1997 examined data from 1995 and 1996, said Richard Lapchick, director of University of Central Florida-based TIDES. Separate scores for gender and racial hiring both fell as well, with the gender score sliding from a B in 2012 to a C-minus in 2014. “Usually when I write these, I try to give some positive news out there — what’s the good news, the silver lining?” said Lapchick, the report’s lead author. “And I couldn’t come up with any for this one.” College sports had the lowest grade for racial hiring practices among all sports groups or organizations reviewed by TIDES, while it was now tied with the NFL for the lowest grade on gender hiring practices. The organization also produces report cards on the NBA, WNBA and Major League Baseball, among others. “I think the scrutiny should bring pressure to bring about changes in the way we hire people at the college level,” Lapchick said. The report card includes data on head coaches, assistant coaches, athletic directors, conference commissioners and university presidents as well as for the NCAA. It covers the 2013-14 season along with the start of the 2014 football season, while excluding data from historically black colleges and universities. The report gave college sports a C-plus for racial hiring practices, though the numerical score of 78.5 points represented a slide of nearly four points from a year earlier when the grade was a B. Worse, the gender score has fallen from 81.3 points in 2012 to 75.9 (C-plus) in 2013 and now 69.4 for 2014. Women held just 38.2 percent of all head coaching jobs for women’s teams in Division I, 34.8 percent in Division II and 43.9 percent in Division III. The numbers for women in assistant coaching positions for women’s teams hovered between 47 and 51 percent in those three divisions, according to the report. Whites held between 85 and 91 percent of head-coaching positions for men’s and women’s teams for the three divisions, according to the report. There was a higher percentage of women working as head coaches for men’s teams (5.1 percent) in Division III than black head coaches (4.8 percent). Raiders off the 65-59 victory.
