Connecticut's Epic Run Ends With N.C.A.A. Championship

After losing four of their last five regular season games,
the Connecticut Huskies rallied to win their next 11 games,
ending with a 53-41 victory over the Butler Bulldogs to win
their third national championship.

The Huskies and their star guard Kemba Walker took advantage
of some poor shooting by Butler in the second half, turning a
3-point halftime deficit into a commanding double-digit lead.
Walker had a team-high 16 points, and forwards Jeremy Lamb
and Alex Oriakhi chipped in with 12 and 11 points,
respectively.

Elections Chief Says Egyptian Constitutional Changes Are Approved, The A.P. Reports

The chief of Egypt's elections commission said that a package
of constitutional amendments was approved with 77 percent of
the vote in favor, The Associated Press reported.

The changes eliminate restrictions on political rights and
open the way for parliamentary and presidential elections
within months. Opponents argued that the timeframe was too
quick for political parties to organize. Egypt's best
organized political forces -- the Muslim Brotherhood and
members of the former ruling party -- campaigned for passage.

The commission chief, Ahmed Attiya, said 41 percent of 45
million eligible voters cast ballots in Saturday's
referendum. More than 14 million -- 77.2 percent -- voted in
favor, with around 4 million -- 22.8 percent -- opposed.
