Portsmouth City School Super-intendent Scott Dutey says thedecision by Gov. John Kasich toextend from three to five the num-ber of calamity days will ensurethat the students in the district willenjoy their full spring vacation.
“We haven’t had spring breakyet, so the timing of this was real-ly good for our district,” Duteysaid. “Our spring break starts nextweek. So we’re going to get allfive days. And the students andstaff will get the entire springbreak.”
Kasich signed into law HouseBill 36 that provides immediaterelief to school districts byincreasing the number of calamitydays.
State law had required schoolsto make up days after missingthree calamity days. HB 36 raisesthat number to five.
Additionally, this law providesschools the flexibility to make upsnow days by lengthening remain-ing school days in the 2010-2011school year by 30-minute incre-ments. The bill was sponsored byReps. Casey Kozlowski, JohnCarey and state Sen. Tim Gren-dell.
“It makes all the sense in theworld. I have been for this allalong,” Kasich said while signingthe bill. “I appreciate the work ofyoung Casey here, John Carey andTim Grendell in terms of movingthis through. This was on the lead-ership agenda from the beginningand we got it done. We’ll go back

E.L.P. Concrete Gas Line Serv-ice is working to repair two cross-walks on Chillicothe Street indowntown Portsmouth. Thecrosswalks were collapsing andcausing traffic problems.
“Crews are replacing the bricksand sod at the intersection. In thewinter time with the heavy trafficgoing down Chillicothe Street
and the freezing and thawing ofwater and snow, somethingunderneath gave way,” said BillBeaumont, Portsmouth servicedirector.
Beaumont said there are otherintersections along ChillicotheStreet that will need similar work.He was not certain when and whowould preform that work.
“We dug the crosswalk out, andreplaced the concrete underneath.The old concrete was causing the
street to buckle,” said Bill Parkerwith E.L.P. Concrete Gas LineService. “We poured new con-crete; we’ll go over it Mondayand fill the area with sand. Oncethat‘s complete we can start set-ting the bricks back to the waythey were.”
Parker said the intersectionshould reopen next week.

cil, a pastor of thechurch, Clark Hess,talked about whatsteps he was taking.
“We currentlyare in conversationwith the BoyScouts and theirhierarchy,” Hesssaid. “Obviously,our first concernhere is the well-being andthe safety of the childrenand youth that are involvedand that walk through ourdoors. ... And we wouldhope and have the under-standing in our nation that aperson is innocent untilproven otherwise, and thatwe will do what we can tobe supportive of the overallBoy Scout organization,and, of course the ministryof it, as well as the peopleinvolved, including Phil.”
Hess said Scouting hasbeen a strong program at
Cornerstone and theprogram has a longhistory of commu-nity participation.
“The boys andthe young menhave done a phe-nomenal job bothwithin the servingin our church, andwithin our commu-
nity,” Hess said. “Obviously,the fruitfulness of thoseefforts speak loudly. And weare grieved by what we hear,but we are not casting judg-ment at this point. But cer-tainly the well-being of theparticipants who walkthrough our doors areutmost on our minds.”

Blankenship is scheduledto meet with Reed at 9 a.m.Tuesday.
Blankenship said he doesnot intend to take lyingdown the announcement ofthe Sept. 10 closing.
“I’m not going to sit byquietly and let this happen,”Blankenship said. “I don’tknow the reason why it’sbeing closed, other than itcosts too much — well,from my understanding andresearch this is the newestfacility in the state of Ohio.It is the most upgradedfacility. And it has capacityto hold the youth offenders— and why are they closingthis one?”
Blankenship said it is alsohis understanding that theDepartment is planning toupgrade other facilities.
“It seems to me that that
is not being very fiscallyresponsible, when wealready have this facility,”Blankenship said. “It’s aslap in the face to southernOhio is what it is. And I’mnot going to just sit by andlet it happen without doinganything.”
Blankenship said he hasasked Portsmouth MayorDavid Malone and State Rep.Dr. Terry Johnson, R-89, toalso attend the meeting.
“I plan to be there,” Mal-one said. “Seventy (ORV)employees live in the city ofPortsmouth. “The impor-tance of this meeting is totry to save the jobs so wecannot have another bignegative impact on the eco-nomics of the area.”
Blankenship, while deter-mined, knows he has hiswork cut out for him.
“I know it’s an uphill bat-tle but I’ve got to go fightfor southern Ohio,”Blankenship said. “Some-body’s got to step up. I wentto the rally they had a fewweeks ago down there inFranklin Furnace, and aftertalking to individuals whowork there and live here(Ironton) it is very devastat-ing to the city. Not just therevenue, but we’re talkingabout 41 families, 80 in the(Lawrence) county. I thinkevery municipality and vil-lage in Scioto andLawrence, Jackson andGallia County should berallying. Lead, follow or getout of my way because I’mgoing.”

Every year, school sys-
tems throughout the statemust contend with misseddays caused by ice andsnow because of the possi-bility of missing scheduledvacation days, or extensionof the school year.
“It just gives us moreflexibility,” Dutey said.“Obviously, that’s one ofthe more difficult thingsonce the bad weather
arrives. The safety of ourstudents and staff membersis always paramount. Andthat (HB 36) just gives usthe ability to go back tofive days. It’s just anotherthing that we can utilize asa district.”

Brammer said she hashelped her students learnlife skills in addition toacademics.
“I’m kind of like thebuilding mother,” Bram-mer said. “The kids havelearned over the years, ifyou need something yougo to Mrs. Brammer —she has everything. If youspill something on yourclothes, she can help youget the stain out. If youlose a button, she canshow you how to sew itback on.”
Principal Todd Warnocksaid the school is proud ofBrammer and what she hasdone over the years bothas a teacher and in helping
to organize the prom.“She does a good job
working with the stu-dents,” Warnock said.“She does a good job withprom; they always go allout.”
Warnock said that whenhe became principal atClay 10 years ago, someof the students requestedthat they have the prom atthe high school instead ofrenting an outside venue.
“That was my first yearas principal, so that was alittle scary,” Warnock said.“But Mrs. Brammer worksreally hard, and the stu-dents work really hard.They take the gym andmake it look like some-thing else.”
Every year at the end ofthe prom, Warnock said,he and Brammer are thelast ones to leave the gym.
“I always say, ‘Wow!You’ve out-done yourselfagain this year.’ I know shetakes pride in it, and thekids take pride in it” he
said. Warnock said the school
is always a little sad when-ever a teacher retires.
“We’re sad to see all ofour teachers go wheneverthey retire. We have teach-ers who have worked herefor many, many years. Andwe miss them being here,”Warnock said.
Brammer has no specif-ic plans for her retirementother than spending timewith her grandchildren.
“I don’t have any partic-ular plans except to followmy grandkids around intheir athletics,” Brammersaid.
She said that as far asClay’s prom is concerned,she hopes someone willstep in and make it theirown. Brammer has beenteaching for 37 years andis looking forward to arelaxing retirement.

Last week, South Web-ster Elementary School’snew open air shade struc-ture was finally completedafter three years offundraising, preparationand construction.
Tracy Collins, presidentof the South Webster Ele-mentary PTO, said theteachers at the schoolbrought it to the attention ofthe PTO that the school wasin need of some kind ofstructure that could provideoutdoor shade for activitieswith their students. Collinssaid that they consideredseveral options includingtrees tent canopies.
“We wanted somethingthat would by strong, nice andlong-lasting,” Collins said.
The structure, which wasfinished last week, stands30-feet by 50-feet. It isbuilt of solid block con-struction, with a metal roofand a concrete floor.
“The structure is largeenough that a whole classof kids could fit under it,”Collins said. “It could beused for outdoor experi-ments, reading books totheir classes, or for shadewhen the weather is hot andthe kids just need a break.They could eat lunch underit if they want.”
Basham Constructiondid the work on the projectand also donated eight pic-nic tables to go under theshade structure. And the
money for the project wascollected through fundrais-ing efforts by students, par-ents and the PTO. A plaquewill be placed on the struc-ture with the names ofsome of the major donorsto the project.
“We want to thank the stu-dents, the parents, the com-munity, the administrationand everyone at the schoolon this one,” Collins said.“Everyone worked reallyhard, but especially WendyPearson, Michelle Mays andthe PTO Board. Wendy real-ly helped move this projectalong for three years untilshe recently moved away.”
The PTO does severalfundraisers that help to sup-ply all of the awards andincentives for the students at
South Webster Elementary. “We have a big fundrais-
er in the fall, and another inthe spring, with severalsmaller ones throughout theyear,” Collins said. “Prettymuch everything extra thekids get, the PTO provides.”
Some of these thingsinclude trophies, HonorRoll shirts, acceleratedreading program rewards,filed trips, the annualChristmas dinner and evenmulch for the playground.
“We also do secret San-tas and the book faire thatis going on now,” Collinssaid. “And we are trying allthe time to get volunteers.”

WASHINGTON —Publicly fuming, the FAAchief collected Thursdaythe resignation of the headof the U.S. air traffic sys-tem, doubled controllerstaffing at more than twodozen airports and ordereda sweeping review of theentire system that ensuresplanes fly safely, as thegovernment sought to reas-sure the public that air trav-el is safe despite at leastfour instances of con-trollers sleeping on the job.
But present and formercontrollers told TheAssociated Press that gruel-ing work schedules and thedesign of the job itself —sitting in a dark room atnight waiting for pilots tocall — have made takingnaps on the job necessary,even if unauthorized by theFAA. One whistle-blowercomplained to theTransportation Departmentthat cots can be found in oneradar center, most often withcontrollers asleep in them.
The National Transport-ation Safety Board warnedFAA after a deadly 2006 aircrash that controllers’ sched-ules were creating unsafesituations in which theywere going into work afteronly a few hours of sleep.But little had changed untilthis week when FederalAviation AdministratorRandy Babbitt said he wasimmediately adding a sec-ond controller on overnightshifts at 26 airports and a
radar facility that had beenstaffed with a lone con-troller. Presumably the sec-ond controller provides amargin of safety if the firstfalls asleep.
Babbitt’s order camehours after the pilot of aplane transporting a criti-cally ill passenger wasunable to raise the singlecontroller working at 2a.m. Wednesday in thetower of the Reno-TahoeInternational Airport inNevada. The FAA said thecontroller, who was out ofcommunication for 16minutes, was sleeping.Controllers at a regionalradar facility in Californiaassisted the plane, whichlanded safely.
Hank Krakowski, thehead of the agency’s AirTraffic Organization,resigned Thursday and areplacement search wasunder way, Babbitt said.
“Over the last few weekswe have seen examples ofunprofessional conduct onthe part of a few individu-als that have rightly causedthe traveling public toquestion our ability toensure their safety,”Babbitt said in a statementThursday. “This conductmust stop immediately.”
President Barack Obamabacked up his administra-tor, telling ABC News in aninterview, “We’ve got itunder control.”
“What we also have tolook at is air traffic controlsystems,” Obama acknowl-edged. “Do we haveenough backup, do we have
enough people, are theygetting enough rest time?”
The president added: “Itstarts with individualresponsibility. And thoseindividuals, they let a lot ofpeople down when they fellasleep on the job.”
Babbitt and National AirTraffic Controllers AssociationPresident Paul Rinaldi met pri-vately Thursday with lawmak-ers on Capitol Hill to assurethem that FAA is on top of theproblem.
“We take our responsibil-ities very seriously andbelieve staffing levels andfatigue are at the root of theproblem,” Rinaldi said in astatement. “We will contin-ue to work with the FAAand through our profession-al standards workgroup toprovide the highest level ofprofessionalism and safety.”
The first disclosure that acontroller had fallen asleepwhen he was supposed to bedirecting air traffic was onMarch 23. That was whentwo airliners landed atWashington’s ReaganNational Airport withoutassistance from the towerafter pilots’ repeatedattempts to reach the lone airtraffic supervisor on dutyfailed. The supervisor lateracknowledged to investiga-tors that he had fallen asleep.
Dozing off at one’s post isunusual, but not unheard of,said seven current andretired controllers inter-viewed by the AP. Six ofthem acknowledged brieflyfalling asleep while workingalone at night at least oncein their careers. The con-
trollers asked not to be iden-tified because they didn’twant to jeopardize their jobsor the jobs of colleagues.
Much more common istaking a nap on purpose,they said. When more thanone controller is assigned tothe “midnight” shift, whichusually runs from about 10p.m. to 6 a.m., one con-troller will work two posi-tions while the other onesleeps and then they switchoff, controllers said.
The arrangements some-times allow controllers to
sleep as much as three orfour hours out of an eight-hour shift, they said.
FAA regulations forbidsleeping at work, even dur-ing breaks. Controllers whoare caught can be suspend-ed or fired. But at most airtraffic facilities the sleepingswaps are tolerated as longas they don’t affect safety,controllers said.
A whistle-blower com-plaint recently filed withDOT’s inspector general’soffice said such arrange-ments are the norm at night
at an FAA radar center nearIslip, N.Y., that handleshigh-altitude air traffic, oneof the busiest facilities ofits kind in the nation.
The controller who fellasleep at Reagan Nationalwas on his fourth day ofmidnight shifts. Controllersare often scheduled for aweek of midnight shifts fol-lowed by a week of morn-ing shifts and then a weekswing shifts, a pattern thatsleep scientists say inter-rupts the body’s naturalsleep cycles.

WASHINGTON —Congress sent PresidentBarack Obama hard-foughtlegislation cutting a record$38 billion from federalspending on Thursday,bestowing bipartisan sup-port on the first major com-promise between the WhiteHouse and newly empow-ered Republicans inCongress.
“Welcome to dividedgovernment,” said HouseSpeaker John Boehner ofOhio, Republican point manin tough negotiations withthe president and SenateMajority Leader HarryReid, D-Nev., that produceda bill no one claimed to likein its entirety.
Leader of a rambunc-tious new majority,Boehner said the cuts indomestic programs wereunprecedented. Yet he alsocalled the measure a less-than-perfect first step in along campaign against fed-eral red ink, and dozens ofrank-and-file conservativesvoted against it.
The White House alsolooked ahead to a strugglenow beginning over nation-al spending priorities in anera of soaring deficits and a$14 trillion national debt.
“We all know there aretough challenges ahead,
from growing our economyto reducing our deficit, butwe must build on thisbipartisan compromise totackle these issues andmeet the expectations ofthe American people,” saidan administration state-ment.
The bipartisan votesbelied a fierce struggle thatpreceded passage and onlynarrowly avoided a partialgovernment shutdown aweek ago.
The tally in the Housewas 260-167. Among thesupporters were 60 of the87 first-term Republicans,many of them elected withtea party support.
The Senate added itsapproval a short whilelater, 81-19, and most ofthe opponents were conser-vatives who wanted deepercuts.
Even before the finalvotes, House Republicanspointed eagerly toward avote Friday on their nextmove against mountingdeficits, a comprehensivebudget that claims cutsmeasured in the trillions,rather than billions, over thenext decade. That vote isexpected to be as partisan asthe spending bill was not.
The measure approvedThursday will finance thegovernment through theSept. 30 end of the budgetyear, chopping $38 billion
from current levels and $78billion from the president’srequest of more than a yearago.
Billions were saved byeliminating congressionalearmarks, and billionsmore in funds from theCensus Bureau, left overfrom the 2010 nationalhead count, now finished.
The EnvironmentalProtection Agency, one ofthe Republicans’ favoritetargets, took a $1.6 billioncut. Spending for commu-nity health centers wasreduced by $600 million,and the CommunityDevelopment Block Grantprogram favored by may-ors by $950 million more.
The bipartisan drive tocut federal spendingreached into every cornerof the government’s sprawlof domestic programs.Money to renovate theCommerce Departmentbuilding in Washingtonwas cut by $8 million. TheAppalachian RegionalCommission, a New Deal-era program, was nickedfor another $8 million andthe National Park Serviceby $127 million more.
While Republicans tout-ed the cuts in the measure,Democratic supporterspointed to even deeperreductions or even outrightprogram terminations thatRepublicans had been
forced to give up in negoti-ations.
That list included a fami-ly planning program forlower-income families,federal support forNational Public Radio andthe funds needed to imple-ment the health care lawthat Congress approved ayear ago and Republicanshave voted to repeal.
While Republicans wereunable to muster a 218-vote majority for thespending cuts on their own,the huge freshman classbroke heavily in favor, 60-27.
Normally vocal, GOPcritics of the legislation didnot speak during debate.“This is done. I’m preparedto move on to biggerissues,” said one of them,Rep. Bill Huizinga ofMichigan.
While reaching acrossparty lines, the legislationproduced few if any enthu-siastic supporters.
Referring to a late law-maker known for his senseof humor, Rep. Jim Moran,D-Va., told the House, “AsMo Udall once said, if youcan find something every-one agrees on, you cancount on it being wrong.”
Moran, a veteranVirginia Democrat, said thebill “does contain moregood than bad.” That puthim in the same category
as Rep. Jeff Landry, a first-term Louisiana Republicanwho won office last fallwith the support of teaparty activists.
The bill does not cutenough, he said, but headded, “I came toWashington to cut spend-ing.” He also cited a provi-sion banning the District ofColumbia from using itsown money to pay for mostabortions for lower-incomewomen.
Liberals were unsparingin their criticism. “This billis nothing more than a teaparty checklist targetingprograms that help themost vulnerable,” said Rep.Barbara Lee, D-Calif. Shepointed to cuts in food pro-grams for the poor, grantsto local police departmentsand help for children ofinmates. “It’s shameful, amoral disgrace.”
As expected, theRepublican leadershipswung behind the bill.
Democrats, consigned tothe minority in last year’selections, splintered. Rep.Nancy Pelosi of California,the party’s leader, votedagainst the bill withoutspeaking on the floor. Thesecond in command, Rep.Steny Hoyer of Maryland,supported it, and in doingso, cited a need to compro-mise for the government tofunction.
The impetus for the cutscame from Republicanswho took power in January,symbolized by the 87 first-termers.
Unhappy with the lead-ership’s first attempt at abill, they rejected it. Theythen propelled a revisedmeasure through the Housein February, including $61billion in reductions thatwould have cut deeply intoeducation programs andother accounts that Obamavowed to protect.
By contrast, neitherObama nor mostDemocrats advocated anycuts through the remainderof the current fiscal year.
The earlier House billincluded numerous otherprovisions unrelated tospending. Many wereaimed at the EnvironmentalProtection Agency, andwould have blocked pro-posed rules to limit green-house gas, pollution intothe Chesapeake Bay, mer-cury emissions fromcement factories and more.
That bill also included aban on federal funding forPlanned Parenthood. Thatwas a priority of lawmak-ers who object to theorganization as the coun-try’s largest abortionprovider, although federallaw already bans the use offederal funds to performmost abortions.

TRIPOLI, Libya —Moammar Gadhafi rolleddefiantly through thestreets of Tripoli, pumpinghis fists as he pokedthrough the sun roof of anSUV on Thursday — thesame day that NATOairstrikes shook the city.The alliance’s foreign min-isters, while united in theiraim to pressure the Libyanleader to go, argued at ameeting over whether tostep up military operationsthat have so far failed torout him.
Gadhafi gave no signthat he’s willing to relent,despite two months of civilwar and mounting interna-tional pressure for him tomove aside. Instead, hisloyalists pounded rebelpositions in the besiegedwestern city of Misratawith dozens of rockets forseveral hours, killing atleast 13 people.
The main target of theassault was Misrata’s port,the only lifeline for rebelswho have been trying todefend positions in the city,Libya’s third-largest,against Gadhafi’s forces.
Early Friday, Gadhafi’sdaughter Aisha sent anoth-er defiant message fromher father’s Bab al-Aziziyah compound in thecapital of Tripoli, badlydamaged exactly 25 yearsago, in an April 15, 1986bombing by U.S. war-planes. That attack came inresponse to a bombing thathad killed two U.S. ser-vicemen at a Germandisco.
“Leave our skies withyour bombs,” Gadhafi’sdaughter told a cheeringcrowd, addressing theinternational community.“We are a people that can-not be defeated.”
Wearing a green head-scarf and a leather jacket,she waved to the crowd ofseveral hundred and led
them in chants from a sec-ond-floor balcony that inthe past was used by herfather to deliver speeches.
On Thursday, severallarge explosions wereheard in Tripoli and a col-umn of black smoke rosefrom the southeastern partof the city, followed by thesound of anti-aircraft guns,a resident said.
Libyan state televisionshowed Gadhafi — dressedin a black Western blazer,black crew neck T-shirt,sunglasses and a hat —standing through the opensun roof of a sport utilityvehicle on a fist-pumping,rapid ride through Tripoliwith dozens of supporterschasing behind him.Libyan TV said the tripcame on the same day thatNATO airstrikes hit mili-tary and civilian areas inthe capital.
The TV report said therewere civilian casualtiesfrom the attacks. The reportcould not be confirmed.
The fighting in Libyabegan in mid-Februarywhen large anti-govern-ment protests escalatedinto a civil war. Rebelshold much of easternLibya, while Gadhafi con-trols the west, with thefront line shifting back andforth in the middle. Threeweeks of internationalairstrikes haven’t routedGadhafi’s forces.
Gadhafi’s troopsunleashed three hours ofheavy shelling on the portcity of Misrata, which ispartly held by rebels. Theport is Misrata’s only life-line, and governmentforces fired tank shells anddozens of Grad missiles,according to witnesses whospoke on condition ofanonymity because theyfeared retaliation.
“They want to flatten thearea to deploy the troops onfoot and invade the city,”said one of the witnesses, adoctor whose first name wasAyman. He added that a
ship sent by DoctorsWithout Borders to evacuate165 critically injured peopleto Tunisia had been sched-uled to arrive Thursdaymorning at Misrata’s port,and he believed the govern-ment had shelled the port tointerfere with the humani-tarian aid.
Another doctor inMisrata, who gave hisname only as Khaled forfear of retribution, saidsome of those killed wereinside their houses asleepat the time of the shelling.Among the dead were twomen aged 75 and 80.
Gadhafi forces have con-trol of a highway on theoutskirts of Misrata,Libya’s third-largest city.
U.N. Secretary-GeneralBan Ki-moon chaired aCairo meeting of regionaland international organiza-tions on Libya and set threetargets: reaching andimplementing a cease-fire,delivering humanitarianaid and starting a dialogue
on Libya’s future.“Shelling your own peo-
ple is not acceptable,” hesaid at a meeting at ArabLeague headquarters,referring to actions byGadhafi’s forces. “This is aviolation of human rights.”
At a two-day meeting ofNATO foreign ministers inBerlin, the United Statesand its allies put up a unit-ed front on the goals of thealliance’s stalemated mili-tary mission in Libya butfailed to resolve behind-the-scenes squabbling overhow to achieve them.
NATO members agreedon paper with PresidentBarack Obama that Gadhafihad to go to end the crisis,they also made clear thatthey would not be the onesto oust him. Although sev-eral NATO members wantthe alliance to commit moreplanes to expand the aircampaign, the first day ofmeetings closed withoutany specific commitmentsfor more aircraft.

With Pryor out, 4 bid to take spotBy RUSTY MILLERAP Sports Writer
COLUMBUS — It's atypical spring practice atOhio State and yet nothingseems typical about it.
Over near a sideline, Ter-relle Pryor, the three-yearstarter at quarterback, isbalanced on one knee, play-ing catch with a teammate.Coach Jim Tressel is nomore than a few feet awayand is watching him toss theball, over and over and overagain.
Thirty yards away, fourother quarterbacks are tak-ing their turns running theoffense. Joe Bauserman,
Kenny Guiton, Taylor Gra-ham and Braxton Milleralternate snaps in a drillwith just three receiversmatching up with defend-ers.
One of the four will bewell known to Buckeyes'fans soon enough. But onthis April day, with a torrentof rain visible through anopen door at the WoodyHayes indoor practice field,they're just four guys tryingto learn the plays and catcha coach's eye.
With Pryor skippingspring workouts due to sur-gery, and suspended for thefirst five games this fall,somebody is going to win
the starting job. Right now,however, no one has anyidea who has the insidetrack.
"It is critical by the end of15 (spring) practices thatwe do start thinking aboutsome sort of a peckingorder," Tressel said.
The problem is, he does-n't have one right now.
"To me, that's a greatquestion."
Pryor isn't playing thisspring after having postsea-son foot surgery. He's nolonger wearing a protectiveboot and appears healthyenough to take snaps. But,he's not taking any contactthis month, even though his
presence looms over work-outs. He counsels the othersignal callers, stands maybe10 yards behind them whilethey run plays with the fullfirst-team offense andtrades comments continual-ly with Tressel.
Baby steps have beentaken. Early on, the fourpotential replacementscouldn't get a snap withoutdropping it.
"The first couple of days,there was a fumbled snaphere and there. But eversince, we've kind of got acomfort level with all thequarterbacks," center MikeBrewster said. "Now, nomatter who's in, it's really
not affecting our play."Pryor, once the most
acclaimed quarterbackrecruit in the country, willalso miss the first fivegames of his final season ashe serves an NCAA-man-dated suspension after itwas discovered he and sev-eral teammates hadreceived improper benefitsfrom the owner of a Colum-bus tattoo parlor.
So Bauserman, Guiton,Taylor or Miller will likelyhold the hopes of the 2011Buckeyes in their hands atleast until Pryor makes hisseason debut on Oct. 8 atNebraska.
"It's going to be fun to
watch," Tressel said of thequarterback sweepstakesbefore spring practices evenbegan. "I'm going to have asmuch fun watching as you(reporters) are — as towho's going to step up andemerge."
— Bauserman (6-foot-1,230 pounds) is a fifth-yearsenior who pitched for threeseasons in the PittsburghPirates organization. Major-ing in fisheries and wildlife,he'll turn 26 this fall. He hasthe most game experienceof the four, with 47 passesthrown (completing 25) in24 career games. He has agood arm, limited mobility

Na shoots 16, setsPGA Tour recordAssociated Press
SAN ANTONIO — Kevin Na will remember the ninthhole at the Texas Open for a long time.
The South Korean set a new low Thursday for theworst par-4 hole in the PGA Tour record books, shootinga 16 with a nightmarish sequence of shots.
Na's problems included an unplayable lie from the tee,a two-stroke penalty after the ball ricocheted off a treeand struck him, and five consecutive strokes from thewoods.
Na ended the first round thinking he shot a 15 on thehole. But another stroke was added after Na reviewed thevideo replay before signing his scorecard. He finishedthe round with an 8-over 80.
The worst single-hole score at a PGA Tour eventbelongs to John Daly, who had an 18 on the par-5 sixthhole at Bay Hill in 1998. Ray Ainsley took 19 shots onthe par-4 16th hole at Cherry Hills in the 1938 U.S.Open.

INDIANAPOLIS — Reggie Miller doesn't give theIndiana Pacers much of a chance in their first-round play-off series against the top-seeded Chicago Bulls.
The clutch shooter who helped put the Pacers on themap before his retirement is happy that his beloved teamhas reached postseason play for the first time since 2006,but even he admits the odds are stacked against them. TheBulls had the best record in the league this season and areon a tear heading into Saturday's Game 1 in Chicago.
The young Pacers, meanwhile, are the only team in theplayoffs with a losing record.
"Hopefully, they'll be successful," said Miller, a TNTNBA analyst. "I doubt it, but they can lick their woundstogether, and that's how a team grows."
The Pacers are aware that they are heavy underdogs, andit has gotten under their collective skin.

"We hear people talkingabout Chicago's second-round matchup, who they'regoing to play," Indiana cen-ter Roy Hibbert said. "Wehear that. That's in the backof our minds."
"We hear it, and rightful-ly so," Indiana point guardDarren Collison added."We're the last seed in theplayoffs. They're supposedto say that. It don't matter."
Pacers interim coachFrank Vogel hasn't hesitatedto use Indiana's underdogstatus as a tool.
"This team has succeededa lot this year by feeling likethey've been disrespected,told they're not goodenough, and it drives them."
Reaching the playoffs isan important step for the
franchise, which has beenrebuilding since the brawlbetween Pacers players andDetroit Pistons fans at ThePalace of Auburn Hills in2004. Numerous issues inthe following years led theteam to part with its nucleusof Ron Artest, JermaineO'Neal, Stephen Jacksonand Jamaal Tinsley.
After the overhaul, theteam became extremelyyoung. Just one Pacersstarter, Danny Granger, hasbeen in the league for morethan three years. That's whyPacers president Larry Bird,a three-time NBA champi-on with the Boston Celtics,said this playoff experienceis a key part of Indiana'srebuilding effort.
"I knew after my firstplayoff experience in theearly '80s that I had a lot ofwork to do if I wanted towin a championship," hesaid. "This is a great oppor-
tunity for these young guysto get some experience, andwe'll see what happens."
The opportunity almostdidn't come.
The Pacers fired coachJim O'Brien after a 17-27start, and things wereuncertain — Miller saidthose situations are usually"death sentences."
Vogel took over, and theconfident 37-year-oldimmediately declared thatthe Pacers were going tomake the playoffs. He re-established Hibbert, askilled 7-foot-2 center, as ago-to player. He gaveCollison more freedom tocreate and replaced theteam's constant ill-advised3-point shots with "smash-mouth basketball," a stylethat emphasizes attackingthe basket to take advantageof the team's athletic ability.
The Pacers responded bywinning seven of their first
10 under their new leaderbefore the All-Star break.The mood in the lockerroom changed as Vogel'sconfidence filtered down tohis players.
"It was a pretty softschedule, but still, a win is awin in this league," Millersaid. "What it did is itgained confidence for coachVogel and for the assis-tants."
Vogel started takingchances, eventually movingrookie Paul George and sec-ond-year forward TylerHansbrough into the start-ing lineup. The team fin-ished 20-18 in the regularseason under Vogel.
"How else will theseyoung guys ever learnunless they're thrown in thefire?" Miller said. "Howelse is Larry Bird and therest of his staff going to beable to evaluate this youngtalent unless they play?"
Because of the relativeyouth and inexperience onthe team, Miller believesGranger will have to play ata higher level for Indiana tomake noise in the postsea-son. The forward averages20.5 points and 5.4rebounds.
"This team will go as faras Danny will take thembecause no one else on thatteam can do what Dannycan do," Miller said. "Andthat's put the ball in thebasket and put a lot ofpressure on opposingdefenses. Really, it falls onhis shoulders. I hope heaccepts that. If they are tobe successful against theBulls, Danny has to havean incredible series. Hehas to put the fear of Godin the Bulls."
Both Bird and Milleragree that, aside fromGranger and veteran JeffFoster, none of the players
in the team's regular rota-tion know what they aregetting into. Vogel has triedto account for that by usingveterans James Posey, T.J.Ford and Dahntay Jones aspart of his "Red Squad," agroup whose job is to pre-pare the regulars for thephysical nature of postsea-son play.
"We've encouraged themto do lots of grabbing andholding and pushing andfouling, and we've allowedit," Vogel said. "We've toldthe rest of them guys thatthey're going to see this andthey're not going to becalled, so fight through it,don't look at the officials."
Bird said the Pacers haveto be aggressive against theBulls.
"We've got to be the insti-gators, and not the retalia-tors, and that's going to behard to do with the youngguys," he said.

and some would say he'sdecent at all and outstand-ing at none of the skills ittakes to be a quarterback.
— Guiton (6-2, 195) is aredshirt sophomore whocan run in addition tothrow. Ohio State coaches
like his awareness in thepocket. He's only throwntwo college passes — onewas completed, one inter-cepted — but might havethe edge coming out ofspring drills because theBuckeyes, with heavylosses at wide receiver,figure to stay on theground more early in theyear.
— Graham (6-4, 230) isthe son of former OhioState quarterback KentGraham, who spent 11 sea-sons in the NFL. His son isa redshirt freshman who is aprototypical pocket passer.He's tall enough to see overthe line and has a strongarm.
— Miller (6-3, 205)graduated from high
school early so he couldcome to campus inJanuary and practice thisspring. An acclaimedrecruit like Pryor, a bettercomparison to his style ofplay would be formerBuckeye Troy Smith. Stilllearning the vagaries offootwork, checkoffs andprogressions, he's a workin project who the coach-
ing staff believes has a bigupside.
"If he keeps making playsthere's no reason why (hecouldn't start)," linemanJ.B. Shugarts said. "If he'sthe guy, he's the guy. Thebest quarterback is going toplay."
But don't expect anydecisions any time soon.Tressel, who also must sit
out the first five games forhiding the fact he knewabout his players' involve-ment with the tattoo-shopowner, isn't in any hurry toanoint a starter until pre-season workouts inAugust.
"Until we get to the fall,"he said, "you can't put thetotal onus on the quarter-backs' performance."

LOS ANGELES — DodgerStadium was flooded with blueThursday night, both the LosAngeles Dodgers kind and theLAPD variety, as the team andpolice cracked down on the kindof hooliganism that nearly killeda San Francisco Giants fan lastmonth.
Three hours before the LosAngeles Dodgers and St. LouisCardinals were to begin playing,more than four dozen black-and-white patrol cars were lined up inan impressive formation in aparking lot down a hill from thestadium's left-field pavilion. Aspolice helicopters whirled over-head, more police officers onmotorcycles, and still more onbicycles, circled the cavernous,nearly empty parking lot repeat-edly.
Police Chief Charlie Beck saidthere would be still more insidethe stadium, in plainclothes, forthe game.
"If you're threatening, if you'remaking comments that couldlead to violence, you're going toget ejected," he said at a newsconference behind the pavilion.
The crackdown was inresponse to the beating sufferedby Bryan Stow of Santa Cruz ashe left an opening day gameagainst the Giants with friends.
Stow, who was walking with
friends, was attacked frombehind and kicked and beaten bytwo men in Dodger jerseys. Justbefore the beating he had sent atext message to a family memberto say he feared for his safety inthe raucous crowd,
No one has been arresteddespite the offer of more than$150,000 in reward money fromthe Dodgers, Giants, Stow'semployer and others, includingGiants' pitching ace TimLincecum.
The attack provoked a torrentof anger from fans who com-plained that in recent years thestadium has become a danger-ous den of drunken hooligan-ism where fights regularlybreak out in the stands and any-one who dares wear a rivalteam's jersey is subjected toprofane verbal abuse andthreats of violence.
Beck and Dodgers ownerFrank McCourt said crime at theballpark has decreased in recentyears but that reports of drunken,abusive behavior has led manyfans to believe otherwise. Stow'sbeating was, for fans, the laststraw.
Beck said that was a zero-toler-ance policy was being adoptedtoward abusive behavior.
"I have undercover officers inthe stadium. You don't knowwhose listening to you. So youshould act appropriately," hewarned.

NEW YORK — DerekJeter is tired of all thescrutiny of his swing.
"I'm happy when I'm nottalking about it," the Yankeescaptain said before gettingtwo hits Wednesday night ina win over Baltimore.
Stride. No stride. Toetap. Heel lift. Jeter'sfamous stroke has been onethe most analyzed aspectsof the young season, andhe's not even off to theworst start in baseball.
Albert Pujols, CarlCrawford, Jayson Werth,Vernon Wells and AdrianBeltre are just a few of thestars around the bigleague's trying to find theirrhythm at the plate.
And get this, five regu-lars in New York's lineuphave averages lower thanJeter's .237 after 10 games.
Yet little is made of theirtroubles.
None of those players,though, is a five-timeWorld Series championnearing his 3,000th hit andtwo months shy of his 37thbirthday, when many play-ers' skills are in decline.
"I don't think Derekwants to talk about it any-more just because A: Derekdoesn't like talking abouthimself. He'd prefer to talkabout the team," Yankeesmanager Joe Girardi said,"and B: He'd prefer to go towork. He wants to work."
And work he has.Jeter began adjusting his
swing during a session inmid-September in Texas,when he was in a prolongedslump. He has been workingwith hitting coach KevinLong ever since to find acomfort zone at the plate.
The pair have tried to sim-plify Jeter's stride as his handquickness diminishes withage so he'll be movingtoward the mound and notfalling famously toward theplate. During his summerswoon, the 11-time All-Starwas too often gettingjammed on inside pitchesrather than sending signatureline drives to right-center.
It seemed to pay divi-dends. Jeter hit over .300the final few weeks to fin-
ish the year batting .270.That was well below his.314 career average and hislowest average over a fullseason since he became astarter in 1996.
The hitting clinic contin-ued into the offseason andthrough spring trainingwith Jeter trying to adopt afull no-stride swing thenbacking off some in March.Right now he looks some-where between his oldstyle and new.
The early results have notbeen promising. More wor-risome than the average —in 2004 he slumped to .168at the end of April beforefinishing at .292 — Jeter isnot driving the ball to rightfield. He has one extra-base
hit, a sacrifice fly and alined single to rightWednesday night to accountfor his best hit balls in hisfirst 38 at-bats. Most of hisouts have been weakgrounders, a sure sign he isnot comfortable at the plate.
Girardi is not worried. Atleast not yet.
"I think some times peo-ple want to evaluate quicklyjust because of who he isand what he went through alittle bit last year and youlook at his age," Girardisaid. "We don't do thatbecause we know it's a longseason and there's a lot ofguys that get off to a slowstart and have very goodyears."
A fixture at the top of the
lineup since he was Rookieof the Year in 1996, criticshave been questioningwhether the Yankees wouldbe better off with Jeterlower in the order.
Girardi said he wouldn'tmake any judgments untilhe has a better sample ofat-bats, somewherebetween 100 and 150. Soany change might not comeuntil mid-May.
By then, the coverage ofJeter's drive to becomingthe first player in a Yankeesuniform to reach 3,000 hitsshould be in full swing.Dropping him could affectwhat should be a feel-goodmonth. Remember thehoopla over AlexRodriguez being dumped
to the 8-hole for a playoffgame in 2006?
More important, it isunknown how Jeter wouldhandle yet another blow tohis pristine image. This off-season general managerBrian Cashman publiclychallenged Jeter to find abetter deal elsewhere dur-ing contract negotiationsthat ended in a three-year,$51 million deal. Andwhile unnamed, Jeter wasclearly a target of HankSteinbrenner's when theteam's co-chairman saidsome players were busierbuilding mansions than try-ing to win.
Taking outside pressureson the field is not uncom-mon.
Wells was given the dayoff by the Angels after a 4-for-44 start with his newteam. Pujols, whom Girar-di called on Wednesdayone of the best hitters ever,may be pressing, too. Thethree-time NL MVPentered the season in thelast year of his contractwith the Cardinals aftercalling off negotiationsduring spring training.Pujols went 5 for 8 overhis last two games to raisehis average to .229 withone homer. Werth andCrawford are off to slowstarts, perhaps becausethey're trying a little toohard to immediately justi-fy monster free-agentdeals.
Jeter tiring of constant scrutiny of his swing

LEXINGTON, Ky. —Kentucky coach John Cali-pari thinks freshmen starsBrandon Knight and Ter-rence Jones should throwtheir names into the NBAdraft. He's just not sureKnight and Jones shouldkeep them there.
The two freshmen fueledKentucky's first trip to theFinal Four since 1998 andtheir names have vaultedup NBA Draft boards. Nei-ther player has decided yetwhether to return to Lex-ington or go pro.
Calipari said the decision
to enter the draft is "a no-brainer" but suggestedKnight and Jones shouldhold off signing with anagent, which would pre-vent them from opting outof the draft and comingback to school.
He pointed to the anxietyover the collective bargain-ing agreement between theNBA Players Associationand the owners, whichexpires on June 30. If anew deal can't be reached,there's a chance leagueowners could lock out theplayers.
"The lockout really kindof screws everything up
because a lot of kids arepulling their namesbecause what if the lock-out goes the whole year?"Calipari said. "What kindof mistake did youmake?"
Knight averaged 17.3points and 4.1 assists thisseason and was spectacularin the NCAA tournament,hitting game-winning shotsagainst Princeton and OhioState and a go-ahead 3-pointer late in the regionalfinal against North Caroli-na.
Jones set a Kentuckyfreshman-record by pour-ing in 35 points against
Auburn but took on a moresecondary role in the post-season and finished theyear averaging 15.7 pointsand 8.8 rebounds.
In a normal year, Cali-pari would all but pushthem out the door. But thisisn't a normal year.
"We don't know whatcould happen," Caliparisaid. "Where are theygoing to fall in this? I tellthem if they're not willingto come back and work likethey've never workedbefore then they should gobecause they're not goingto improve."
Calipari is also encour-
aging junior forwardDeAndre Liggins toexplore his professionaloptions. Liggins is consid-ered one of the bestdefenders in the countrybut remains limited offen-sively. Calipari says Lig-gins is the kind of playerwho could surprise once hegoes through pre-draftworkouts.
"DeAndre maybe goesup there and goes crazyand plays his way in," Cali-pari said. "I would tell youthat we know he's not onany lists or boards rightnow but here's the reasonI'd tell him to do it,
(because) what he is physi-cally and how he is is notgoing to change or be pro-jected any other way."
While Jones, Knight andLiggins might not be backnext year, Calipari blew offquestions about whetherhe'll return.
"I laughed when thenewest rumors came outbecause I said, 'You're notscrewing up our recruitingbecause we already havethese kids signed,'" Cali-pari said. "Those rumorsare going to be out there.I've got a great job, one ofthe best in our sport. I can'tstop the rumors."
Calipari wants Knight, Jones to consider NBA

HAPPYBIRTHDAY for Friday, April 15, 2011
This year, you forge a new path, and happily so. You feel much freer than you have in the past. This can be a banner year for you if you are open to the many opportunities. You will have a tendency to take the com-ments of others personally. Try not to, as they have more to do with the other party than with you. If you are single, use care, as you are likely to choose someone who might not be emotionally available. If you are attached, the two of you enjoy time away together, which will enhance your bond. LIBRA can be challeng-ing. They have the same issues as you but a different approach.
The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-DifficultARIES (March 21-April 19)
Your efforts come back in multiples. Don’t take someone’s thoughtless words personally. You can be sure this person is uncomfort-able with his or her error. Don’t add to the problem. Tonight: Clear your desk first.TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
You have a tendency to go overboard right now. You don’t need to prove anything; you simply need to be authentic. You’ll draw the results you want if you follow through. Let your imagination feed a situation. You will enjoy it more! Tonight: Let it happen.GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
Pressure builds to handle an issue in a certain way. Rather than have an argument, you could close down. You wonder what would be the most effective approach. Stay centered under pressure. Only make the decision when you are ready. Tonight: Nap, then decide.CANCER (June 21-July 22)
Keep reaching out for oth-ers. You also might have some last-minute details before you enter the weekend. Could the problem involve taxes? Whatever the case, dig in and get it done. Tonight: Celebrate being free.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
Be aware of the costs of let-ting go and relaxing too soon today. Finish up the workweek in a manner that pleases you, even if it means putting in a long day. The end results will be well worth it. Tonight: Join friends — better late than never.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Attention from a key
loved one makes your day. You might be giddy. Be aware of your limitations with finances. Don’t go overboard, if possible. A little discipline might make you happy in the long run. Tonight: If you can think of it, you can do it.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Take your time, even if someone is pressuring you. Explore vagueness about an important matter close to your heart. You might need to hold back until you feel more sure of yourself. A family member does a reversal! Tonight: Vanish ... stay mum about why!SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Zero in on what is important. Don’t sell yourself short. Be direct with a friend or loved one who often makes you smile. Clear out an important errand or meeting early on. Tonight: Let the good times happen.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Tension builds as you juggle too much. You know where you are supposed to be, but where your mind wanders is another issue. You are more than ready for some free time. Once you clear out key errands or must-dos, you can follow your imagination. Tonight: The later it is, the more fun.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You might want to try another approach or a different men-tal slant. Make sure you can center yourself in these new concepts, or you will come off as manipulative. Indulge those in your immediate envi-ronment. Tonight: Meet a pal after work.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Continue giving key associates, friends and loved ones all the attention they want. Your ability to make others feel important is key. People want to be around someone who values them as much as you do. Tonight: Be with a favorite person.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
Defer to others. You might not be in the mood to make any decisions right now. You will be happiest if you let go and simply enjoy yourself. The less you need to worry about or deal with, the happier you will be. Tonight: Say “yes” to an invitation.

Dear Annie: I am 21and have a baby with myboyfriend, “Emmett,” whois 19. I love him dearly,but I don’t know what todo with him. He is unem-ployed and goes out allthe time.
I am stuck with twoyoung children at homewhile Emmett does noth-ing but sleep and party. Icontinue to support him,but he hardly helps withthe kids or around thehouse. There are severalminimum wage positionsavailable to him, but he’sstubborn and wants some-thing better. He says hewants to support the fam-ily on his own. As muchas I would love that, it’sjust not possible at thistime.
Also, Emmett is mean,saying I complain toomuch about what he needsto do, that it will happenin time. I’ve suggestedcounseling because wefight so much, but he re-fuses. Meanwhile, he isdraining my finances withhis constant speedingtickets and, most recently,a broken car window thatI cannot afford to fix.
How do I convince himto settle for a minimumwage job and work on ourrelationship before it’s toolate? — Love Struck for aMule
Dear Love Struck: Yousound like a sensiblewoman, but Emmett is 19and not mature enough tobe a responsible partnerand father. He wants tohave fun with his friends.
He resents having to workfor a living and support afamily. You cannot forcehim to grow up. Frankly,you’d be better off finan-cially if you asked him toleave and sued for childsupport.
Dear Annie: I work fora small company, and likemany others, we’ve hadcutbacks, layoffs and re-duced benefits.
One co-worker uses hertime to manage her per-sonal life. She does verylittle work. She is con-stantly texting, writing e-mails to friends andupdating her blog, and sheblatantly lies about thelength of time she takesfor a lunch break.
The company is payingher to do nothing, whileothers have lost their jobs.I brought this situation tothe attention of the man-agers last year, and herbehavior has only wors-ened. I feel it is immoralfor her to be paid a fullsalary for not working,while others are being cutback.
How far up the corpo-rate chain should I takethis without risking myown job? — FrustratedWorker
Dear Frustrated: Ifyour company has an HRdepartment, you can reg-ister a complaint there.It’s possible this womanhas some kind of “pro-
tected” status. While itisn’t fair, you cannot forcemanagement to get rid ofher. The best you can dois focus on your own joband try to ignore her.
Dear Annie: I’d like toshare my solution forteaching children man-ners. When my kids were9, 8 and 7, we started atradition of formal Thurs-day night dinners. I wouldshop in the morning andcook all afternoon, andthen we would eat in thedining room with thegood china, silver andcrystal.
The children had achoice: If they wished tobuild mashed potato fortsand shoot each other withpea cannonballs, that wasfine. But it meant theywould have their supperin the kitchen.
On the other hand, ifthey wished to eat with usin the dining room, theyhad to use their very bestgrownup manners. Thatincluded eating with theproper forks from achoice of at least three, aswell as two knives.
They always chose thedining room, and theirmanners were impecca-ble. I’m proud of them. —No Pea Shooters in MyHome
Dear No: Very impres-sive. You made eating inthe dining room a way tofeel grown up and accom-plished. It undoubtedlywas a source of pride forthem, as well.
Annie’s Snippet for In-come Tax Day (author un-known): Did you evernotice that when you putthe words “The” and“IRS” together, it spells“THEIRS”?
Dear Dr. Brothers:How are you supposed toact when your girlfriendconstantly brings up herdead ex-boyfriend? At firstI was very understanding.Her ex was killed in a caraccident three years ago,and every once in a whileshe would break into cry-ing fits. I know it soundshorrible, but I find that themore she brings him up,the less sympathetic I feel.I am really in love withher, but I don’t know howto handle this anymore. —L.B.
Dear L.B.: What anawful situation for both ofyou. I am afraid I am notone to say that your girl-friend has had a longenough time to mourn andget over it, although somewould declare that it istime for her to move on. Infact, she actually hasmoved on by being in a se-rious relationship withyou, and that may even becausing some of her dis-comfort and lingeringmourning. Let me explain.She may — quite subcon-sciously — be feelingguilty for finding someoneshe loves as much as, oreven more than, the boywho was killed. Thismakes her behavior doublyrewarding to her own psy-che — by breaking downoften, she can show thatshe truly did love him.
At the same time, hertears let you know that sheis not the type of girl whois disloyal to her lovedones. The problem is, youare stuck with this phan-tom rival who will never
marry someone else, tellher to get lost or find outhe is actually gay. You areindeed competing with aghost, and there’s notmuch you can do about itthat won’t make you looksmall and jealous. So ifyou can hang on withoutthis issue ruining your rela-tionship, you likely will beable to move past it atsome point. When you areable to bring your ownlove to a new level — per-haps engagement, livingtogether or marriage —your girlfriend may be ableto envision a future withyou at the center. Goodluck.
Dear Dr. Brothers:What do you say to yourex when he asks you to goaway on a “no-strings-at-tached” weekend? My ex-husband and I have beendivorced almost 10 yearsand have a better relation-ship now than we did whenwe were married. We havea grown son, so we talk toeach other quite frequently.In all this time, he’s neverseemed interested in rekin-dling anything, and now heasks me this interestinglyphrased question. I reallydon’t know what to thinkor do. — K.F.
Dear K.F.: If you have
been in touch with your exall these years, you musthave a fair idea of his dat-ing history and love life —or lack of it — since youparted. It could be simplythat he hasn’t connectedwith anyone, and that he islonely. Or, he could havehad a relationship thatwent sour and he’s lookingto get back in the saddle,as it were — and you werethe first one he thought ofto serve the purpose. Or,it’s possible that it is allabout you and him — he’slived without you for adecade, and he liked thingsbetter when you were to-gether, maybe. So he wantsto rekindle the romance.
All of this is quite a bitto contemplate, I agree. Ithink that before yourmind starts racing out ofcontrol, you had better talkto him again specificallyabout this topic. Since youhave no reason to beataround the bush, just askhim outright what he has inmind and why he’s sug-gesting this weekend now.Let him know that youwere caught by surpriseand that you need to under-stand his motivations. I as-sume you have goodenough ex-radar to detectwhether he’s only tellingyou what you want to hear— whatever that might be— or really opening upwith honest feelings. Inany case, this is somethingyou should think aboutpretty seriously before youagree to it. “No strings at-tached” and “ex-husband”just might be emotionallymutually exclusive.
