Merger of colleges in Boston to result in loss of 100 jobs BOSTON (AP) — More than 100 employees of a small Massachusetts college are losing their jobs as a result of a merger with the much larger Boston University. BU announced Thursday that 111 Wheelock College employees— 72 staff and 39 full- and part-time faculty members — will be let go when the merger becomes official June 1. BU has offered positions to 93 Wheelock employees, including all tenured faculty members. BU’s vice president of human resources called layoffs a “very difficult and painful part of the merger.” Wheelock, a 130-year-old school specializing in teaching and social work, said the merger was necessary because of it declin- ing enrollment, shrinking endowment, and increasing expenses. Wheelock has about 1,000 students. BU has about 33,000. BU will offer severance and outplacement support to displaced Wheelock workers.

To get the full effect of the PulseLine, listen to the calls at thewestfieldnews.com Trump’s possible China tariffs bring protests WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is consider- ing sweeping tariffs on imports from China, with an announcement possible as early as next week. And that has industry groups and some lawmakers scrambling to prevent the next front in a potential trade war that could reverberate across the U.S. economy. Early indications from the White House have officials braced for tariffs across a wide variety of consumer goods, from apparel to electronics, and even on imported parts for products made in the U.S. The size and scope remain under debate, but the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is warning that annual tariffs of as much as $60 billion on Chinese goods would be “devastating.” Trump’s focus on China could be even more consequential, both at home and abroad, than the recently announced penalty tariffs on steel and aluminum. And amid the staff turmoil at the White House, it’s being read as a sign of rising influence for the adminis- tration’s populist economic aides, led by Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross and adviser Peter Navarro. Even Larry Kudlow — an avowed free trader tapped to replace Gary Cohn as director of the White House National Economic Council — has said that China deserves a “tough response” from the United States and its friends.

(AP) — Caleb Martin scored 18 points and made two huge 3-pointers in overtime Friday as Nevada rallied to beat Texas 87-83 for its first NCAA Tournament victory since 2007. Nevada (28-7) erased a 14-point, second-half deficit and tied it at 68 when Jordan Caroline hit one of two free throws with 3.8 seconds left in regulation. The Wolf Pack came back again after trailing by four early in an overtime session that featured 34 combined points. The Wolf Pack, seeded seventh in the South Region, advanced to a Sunday match- up with No. 2 seed Cincinnati (31-4). The Bearcats beat Georgia State 68-53. Martin’s 3-pointer with 2:26 left in overtime gave Nevada its first lead since open- ing the game on a 5-0 run. Texas’ Matt Coleman took a jumper that went around and out, and Martin hit another 3 that extended Nevada’s lead to 81-77 with 1:36 left. After Coleman cut Nevada’s margin to 81-79, Martin passed to twin brother Cody for a layup that made it 83-79 with 53 seconds remaining. Tenth-seeded Texas later got within two on a 3-pointer by Kerwin Roach II with 15.5 seconds left, but that’s as close as the Longhorns got. Caleb Martin also had 10 rebounds and five assists. Cody Martin had 14 points, eight rebounds and five assists. Nevada’s Kendall Stephens had a team-high 22 points. Roach had a career-high 26 points for Texas (19-15) and shot 6 of 10 from 3-point range. Coleman had a career-best 25 points. After trailing 40-26 early in the second half, Nevada tied it on Caroline’s foul shot. That came after the fifth foul on Texas’ Mohamed Bamba, who finished with 13 points and 14 rebounds. Texas’ Dylan Osetkowski then threw an inbounds pass half the length of the court to Jericho Sims, who knocked the ball out of bounds. That turnover gave Nevada the ball about 20 feet from Texas’ basket with 1.6 seconds left. Caleb Martin missed a potential game-winning 3-pointer at the buzzer. But he was right on the mark with the game on the line in overtime. BIG PICTURE Texas: The Longhorns wasted huge performances from Coleman and Roach, who actually had a four-point play early in overtime. Texas’ defense wasn’t the same in overtime after Bamba fouled out late in regulation. Nevada: The Martin twins, who transferred to Nevada from North Carolina State, came up huge down the stretch. They combined for just nine first-half points but teamed up for 24 points in the second half and overtime. Nevada was 3 of 3 from 3-point range in overtime after going just 8 of 26 in regulation.

DADDY’S HOME Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein YOUR Contract Bridge HOROSCOPE By Jaqueline Bigar

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, March 17, 2018: This year you are unusually creative and dynam- ic. Others seem to identify with your self-expres- sion. You might feel as if you are unstoppable. Remember that everyone has limits. If you are sin- gle, you will attract many different types of people. You certainly will have your choice of potential DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker suitors. If you are attached, the two of you join together to maximize your efforts. You have a lot in common. A fellow PISCES loves hanging out.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Embrace your Irish side today, or at least pretend to be Irish. You might want to play the role of the recluse. Be smart and honor your needs. Opt to lie low for a few hours; you’ll emerge feeling energized and ready to visit with others. Tonight: Be present in the moment. SCARY GARY Mark Buford TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Make an effort to connect with a friend at a distance with whom you are able to be more forthright. You have been wanting to have a conversation with this person. Why not now? You could feel as if the effort was well worth it. Tonight: Do what you want, and you’ll be happy. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Focus on doing what is right rather than what you think will work. Don’t do something just to please a frustrating associate. This person will sense that your actions aren’t authentic anyway. Crosswords Use caution if you do not want a volatile situation. Tonight: Let the party go on. DOGS of C-KENNEL Mick and Mason Mastroianni CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You might think that a friend is off-base with his or her request. You will be in a position to see the results of proceeding as this person has sug- gested. Make your points clearly. Touch base with a loved one in order to get appropriate feedback. Tonight: Flow with the moment. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You have an idea that you would like to implement. Present this concept to several associ- ates who tend to think outside the box. Though you might not love their suggestions, their questions will prompt you to fine-tune your idea. Tonight: Try something new and unusual. B.C. Mastroianni and Hart VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Defer to a partner, and let him or her call the shots this St. Patrick’s Day. You might feel put off that your desires are made secondary, but in the long run, everything will work out. Be less reac- tive, and don’t assume that you know the whole story. Tonight: Remain easygoing. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Fortunately, you know how to get along with the majority of people. However, a sense of irritation could be building. The problem is that you are likely to personalize what goes on, when really it has nothing to do with you. Others are spirited. Tonight: Defer to a close loved one. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You might be at a point where you no ONE BIG HAPPY Rick Detorie longer can hold back. You want to let events unfurl as they may. Speak your mind, but understand that the other party involved is likely to do the same. Refuse to take any harsh comments personally. Tonight: Let go of disagreements. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You could be exhausted by the nature of a demanding situation. Rest assured that this prob- lem is about to resolve itself. Don’t forget to join friends for some St. Patrick’s Day cheer. Your sense of fun emerges during a meeting or get-together. Tonight: Add some naughtiness. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You’ll want to relax and get together ANDY CAPP Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett with friends. Someone might come along with an even better way to celebrate St. Paddy’s Day. You will have the opportunity to pitch in and help this person. A friend needs to share some news. Listen well. Tonight: Your popularity soars! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH You have a lot on your mind. Bring friends together for some St. Patrick’s Day fun. Some people might want to head to an Irish-themed party. You will be delighted by what takes place. As the day continues, others get into the swing of the Cryptoquip day. Tonight: Stay on the same page. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You could be in a rush to achieve cer- tain goals and clear out appointments. You have the ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe ability to squeeze a lot into a very short amount of time. The more time you have to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day today, the happier you will be. Tonight: Expect be out until the wee hours.
