Barca, Bayern to Champions semis

LONDON (AP) -Lionel Messi swept holder Barcelona into the Champions League semifinals for the fifth successive year on Tuesday while becoming the competition's most prolific scorer in a single season.

The Argentina forward scored a pair of first-half penalty kicks and Andres Iniesta added another goal after the break to give Barcelona a 3-1 victory over AC Milan following a 0-0 draw in Italy.

Messi's 14th Champions League goal this season surpassed Ruud van Nistelrooy's tally in the 2002-03 campaign.

Ivica Olic also scored twice on Tuesday to ensure Bayern Munich joined fellow four-time champion Barcelona in the semifinals.

Bayern emulated its 2-0 first-leg victory over Marseille to advance 4-0 on aggregate.

Bayern will likely face Real Madrid in the semifinals, with the Spanish leaders protecting a 3-0 lead over Cypriot team APOEL Nicosia on Wednesday. Chelsea will play Barcelona in the last four if the London club can defend a 1-0 lead over Benfica.

But with Pep Guardiola's side seemingly impervious in Europe, Barca is primed to become the first team to defend the European Cup since the Champions League's inception in the 1992-93 season.

Protecting Messi will be key, though, with the Argentina forward having already netted 58 goals this season in all competitions.

He slotted his first into the net after 11 minutes at the Camp Nou after being brought down in the penalty area by Luca Antonini.

There was a brief response from the Italian champions against the run of play, with Antonio Nocerino leveling in the 32nd.

Robinho picked out Zlatan Ibrahimovic and the former Barcelona striker slipped the ball through for Nocerino to strike past Victor Valdes.

But that away goal wasn't enough for Milan as Messi restored the hosts' lead in the 41st from the spot after Alessandro Nesta hauled Sergio Busquets down. Messi's 14th European Cup goal of the season matched Mazzola Altafini's 49-year-old record.

While he was denied a hat trick at the start of the second half when a shot was blocked, the ball fell for Iniesta to extend Barca's lead from a tight angle.

"We had to work really hard against a great side and we are thrilled to be in the semifinals," Iniesta said.

Milan has not reached the semifinals since winning the Champions League in 2007.

But Bayern is into the last four for the second time in the three years thanks in part to Bayern coach Jupp Heynckes resting Mario Gomez in favor of Olic.

And on a rare start, Olic delivered.

His first goal was an easy tap-in into the net in the 13th after former Marseille player Franck Ribery glided past the visiting defense to set up the Croatian.

Ribery also helped to create the second by feeding David Alaba down the left flank, and the Austrian midfielder crossed for Olic to nip ahead of his marker and score from close range.

APOEL need miracle against Madrid in Champions

MADRID (AP) -Real Madrid should reach its second straight Champions League semifinals under coach Jose Mourinho barring a catastrophic collapse against Cypriot team APOEL Nicosia on Wednesday.

Union Rags Still Favored to Win 2012 Kentucky Derby Despite Florida Derby Upset

Wagerweb.com oddsmakers have vowed to keep Union Rags as the odds-on favorite to win the 2012 Kentucky Derby even after an upset loss this weekend at the highly touted Florida Derby.

Move over War Horse.? You might own the spotlight at the box office, seem like a winner in the eyes of film critics, and be the talk of Broadway, but there are dozens of thoroughbreds that have much better ideas and they aren?t interested in horsing around.? I?m not even referring to the now inappropriately titled cable drama Luck, which saw its cancellation after too many equine casualties out of the gate.? It?s the Kentucky Derby that?s on everyone?s minds and it?s just around the corner.? Although it isn?t entirely any horse?s race, you can?t forget that favoritism is often fleeting on the track.? The Derby is also the most sought after betting event in terms of overall traffic coming to the Gambling911.com website after the Super Bowl.?

While the country?s leading sports journalist pen pieces about which young thoroughbred will win the bulk of the two million dollar purse and the top $1.4 million prize, you can research and make your own predictions at wagerweb.com.

The 2012 Kentucky Derby takes place at Churchill Downs on May 5th.? While Union Rags has long been considered the favorite, the odds are never static.? That?s what happens when you deal with precocious three year olds.? Hansen, Creative Cause, El Padrino, Secret Circle, Alpha, Gemologist, Prospective, and Bodemeister are all respectable at press time, but it is arguably too soon to tell how strong the field is going to be.

There?s no need to wait impatiently if you are all about the winner?s circle.? There are definitely tons of great races across the nation and wagerweb.com always has a full calendar all season long.

Body of Boulder ultrarunner Micah True found in New Mexico

Famed Boulder ultrarunner Micah True, the "Caballo Blanco" whose exploits were chronicled in the 2009 best-seller "Born to Run," was found dead in New Mexico Saturday night after a four day search, according to officials.

True, who is 58, according to Boulder County voter records, was last seen at the Gila Wilderness Lodge in Gila, N.M., on Tuesday morning when he went out for a run, officials say. The owners of the lodge reported him missing when he didn't return Wednesday morning, and the search began that day.

True's body was found at around 6 p.m. Saturday by searchers near Woody's Corral, just one mile southeast of the Gila Cliff Dwellings, according to Incident Commander Tom Bemis.

Bemis said that one of True's

Fourteen search and rescue teams, including three dog teams, five horse teams, a National Guard helicopter and a Civil Air Patrol fixed-wing aircraft scoured the wilderness surrounding the Gila Cliff Dwellings on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday in search of True, who was reported as missing after not returning from a run in the Gila on Tuesday morning.

friends found his body and that the cause of death is unknown at this point. There were no obvious signs of trauma.

"It's too early to say, there was nothing obvious," he said.

Bemis said that at 7:40 p.m. the medical examiner was on his way to examine the body. He said that True's body will probably be removed by horseback or litter team tonight, though he said because of the terrain it most likely the body won't make it out of the area until Sunday..

Nine search and rescue teams took part in Saturday's operation, as well as a N.M. State Police helicopter and a Civil Air Patrol fixed-wing aircraft, according to Bemis.

Though daytime temperatures in southwest New Mexico have been mild, temperatures have dipped into the mid-20s on recent nights. Jane and Dean Bruemmer, co-owners of the Gila Wilderness Lodge, said True had a water bottle and was wearing shorts, a T-shirt and running shoes when he left.

Michael Sandrock, who writes a running column for the Daily Camera, said he was shocked and saddened by the news.

"Rationally it's understandable, because when you go off into the wilderness things happen," he said. "But on a gut level I'm surprised. We all thought Micah was indestructible.

That he would always be running. Caballo Blanco, running shirtless through the desert."

True was made famous by Chris McDougall's best-selling book "Born to Run." The book, released in 2009, chronicles True's time in Mexico's Copper Canyon with the Tarahumara Indians, an isolated tribe known for long, grueling runs.

True was also the race director of the Copper Canyon Ultra Marathon, a 50-plus-mile extreme race that took place in Urique, Mexico, on March 4.

Sandrock said True was a pillar of the running community because he stayed true to who he was and made running the center of his life.

"He just represented someone who made running the center of his life," Sandrock said. "He didn't make a lot of money doing it, but he made his life about running, so he was the forerunner for us all."

"Micah lived doing what he loved. That's what we can learn from him. How many people can say that?"
