INSIDE

Time short for Gingrich Must close growing gap in Florida POMPANO BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Newt Gingrich slammed GOP rival Mitt Romney on Sunday for the steady stream of attacks he likened to “carpet-bombing,” trying to cut into the resurgent front-runner’s lead in Florida in the dwindling hours before

Tuesday’s pivotal presidential primary.

And despite surging ahead in polls, Romney wasn’t letting up, relentlessly casting Gingrich as an influence peddler with a “record of failed leadership.”

In what has become a wildly

unpredictable race, the momentum has swung back to Romney, staggered last weekend by Gingrich’s victory in South Carolina. Romney has begun advertising in Nevada ahead of that state’s caucuses next Saturday, illustrating the chal-

lenges ahead for Gingrich, who has pledged to push ahead no matter what happens in Florida.

An NBC News/Marist poll Sunday showed published Romney with support from 42 percent of likely Florida primary voters, compared with 27 percent for Gingrich.

Oakland to assess damage

Back to the future

For weeks the protests had waned, with only a smattering of people taking to Oakland’s streets for occasional marches that bore little resemblance to the headline-grabbing Occupy demonstrations of last fall.

On Sunday, Oakland officials vowed to be ready if Occupy protesters try to mount another large-scale demonstration. Protesters, meanwhile, decried Saturday’s police tactics as illegal and threatened to sue. See Page 5.

He’s changed companies a few times since, and now sells fire trucks as director of sales and marketing for Iowa-based Toyne Inc., a fire apparatus manufacturer.

Schwartz, the Air Force chief of staff, told reporters Friday. “The diversity, the variety, the attributes associated with each leg of the triad reinforce each other to a greater degree.�

Both the B-52 and the B-2 are capable of doing more than carrying nuclear weapons. The B-52 has been modernized many times and is now used in a variety of roles, including close-air support of troops in conflict and can carry missiles, bombs and mines.

The first of the current H models entered service in May 1961.

The land-based intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) force dates to 1959. Ballistic missile subs, known as “boomers,� were first launched in 1960; the current Ohio-class fleet dates to 1981.

nearing completion of an internal review of how many nuclear weapons are required to meet today’s security needs; that process will lead to decisions on whether to reshape the nuclear arsenal. That effort is linked to consultations with NATO allies on whether to withdraw the remaining U.S. nuclear weapons from Europe, an arrangement that also is rooted in the Cold War. Also at play is how to set the stage for a new round of nuclear reduction talks with Russia.

The only move the Pentagon is making on the nuclear weapons front in the 2013 budget is a proposed two-year delay in development of a new generation of submarines to replace those how equipped with Trident nuclear mis-

and the only captain,�

Fornell said. “I was just elected for another three years.� “The captain position can vary. I can take command of a fire, like during the day, if there is no (chief) available, I’ll take command of a fire,� he explained. “A fire where the chief and the assistant chief are there, I’ll take command of an engine company, and do operations. “So it kind of a flexible position,� Fornell said, noting that he also helps with training members of the department.

He also continues to do fire training around the country, and that’s one reason a camera still is never far from his hands. “When I get to a fire scene, obviously the fire department comes first,�

Fornell said. “But I have a small camera in the car, so if I get a chance, I’ll go ahead and try to shoot

something.� “A lot of times I try to shoot for training, because I do a lot of training around the country. A lot of these pictures will end up in training books,� said Fornell, who blogs about firefighting for www.firehouse.com.

He also keeps a hand in photography as he shoots photographs for Toyne’s company brochures and calendars, and occasionally he still does free-lance assignments for UPI. He admits most of his photography these days is for practical purposes. “I really don’t go out to shoot pictures just to shoot pictures, unless there’s a use for it,� Fornell said.

But it seems a bit of the news hound still lurks in him. “Would I like to do more? Yeah, it’d be kind of fun to cover a campaign, it’d be kind of fun to cover some stuff,� Fornell said.

The Musical

• CONTINUED FROM A1 Romney’s campaign has dogged Gingrich at his own campaign stops, sending surrogates to remind reporters of Gingrich’s House ethics probe in the 1990s and other episodes in his career aimed at sowing doubt about his judgment.

Gingrich reacted defensively, accusing the former Massachusetts governor and a political committee that supports him of lying, and the GOP’s establishment of allowing it. “I don’t know how you debate a person with civility if they’re prepared to say things that are just plain factually false,� Gingrich said during appearances on Sunday talk shows. “I think the Republican establishment believes it’s OK to say and do virtually anything to stop a genuine insurgency from winning because they are very afraid of losing control of the old order.�

Gingrich objected specifically to a Romney campaign ad that includes a 1997 NBC News report on the House’s decision to discipline Gingrich, then speaker, for ethics charges.

Romney continued to paint Gingrich as part of the very Washington establishment he condemns and

Gingrich’s consulting firm was paid more than $1.5 million by the federally-backed mortgage company over a period after he left Congress in 1999.

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP Marietta (Ga.) Daily Journal on U.S. manufacturing: It may not feel so good to us still struggling to pull out completely from the 2007-09 recession. But from a foreign perspective, our recovery, especially in manufacturing, looks pretty darn good. In fact, the major foreign economies regard us with a touch of envy.

“The U.S. has added more net manufacturing jobs since the start of 2010 than the rest of the Group of Seven developed countries put together, with only two other economies — Germany and Canada — increasing factory employment at all,” noted the London-based Financial Times. In fact, manufacturing has grown faster in the U.S. than in any other developed economy.

Cynics might say that this is only a sign of how bad things were, and not how good they are. “However,” said the Times, “hopes are rising that the U.S. is entering a sustained manufacturing revival.”

Gingrich’s response was so powerful that it seemed to overwhelm the underlying allegation that he had sought an “open marriage” from his second wife.

That’s a remarkable accomplishment in a state that historically desires strong family values from its elected officials.

While we worry about Gingrich’s temperament and consistency, it may be a positive that voters are focusing less on the private lives of the candidates. Some of our best presidents — not up to the temptations that come with power — have had enormous lapses in personal morality.

Democrats and Gingrich’s Republican opponents are attempting to depict the issue as being about the former House speaker’s hypocrisy.

Gingrich did, after all, play a major role in the effort to impeach former President Bill Clinton after revelations of his infidelities.

The depiction, though, is not entirely accurate. Gingrich was clear at the time that Clinton’s impeachable offense was not promiscuity, but lying under oath.

Gingrich may have considered himself above personal morality in his dealings with his former wife, but as yet there have been no revelations that he considered himself to be above the law.

DOONESBURY

Hey youngsters — your life is about to change Let’s say you’re 20 years old. You’re reading this column — or, more likely, if you’re 20 you’re staring at your I-Pod or a computer screen – and suddenly you find yourself whisked 40 years into the future. To your surprise, you discover you are looking at yourself 40 years from now.

Your first thought probably would be, “That’s me?”

Your second would be, “What happened?”

I got to thinking about this the other day when I was driving around the block. I wasn’t going anywhere special, just adding a few moments to my trip.

The reason? My car has heated seats, something I never would have dreamed of 40 years ago, and now that I am older sometimes my back hurts a little bit.

The heated seats in my car make my back feel better.

Back when I was 20, if I would have thought I would be driving around in a car with heated seats because my back hurt, I might have just ended

David Lindeman Troy Daily News Columnist it right there.

Naturally (or maybe not so naturally, it’s just how my mind works), I started thinking about other things that I didn’t see coming 40 years ago. Here are some examples: • If I sleep until 8 a.m., I call it “sleeping in.” I used to sleep until noon on Saturdays.

Of course, if I go to bed at midnight these days it’s really late.

• I know this sounds morbid, but I have found death is a common theme with people as they get older. I used to turn to the Sports pages in the newspaper first. Now, you know what I look at? You guessed it, the obituaries.

— John W. Soutar Troy

• I always drive the speed limit these days and figure if it’s really important to get somewhere at a certain time, I’ll just start out a little earlier. Speed limits merely were suggestions when I was young and since I was always leaving at the last minute, they weren’t suggestions I took very seriously.

• It used to be if there was something to do in the yard or house I would decide what had to be done in a day and do whatever it took to get finished. Now, I get as much completed as I can and save the rest for another day. Even better, I pay someone to do it for me.

• I used to take steps at least two at a time. I now do them one at a time.

• Which brings us to minor aches and pains. When you’re 20 and something hurts, you shrug it off. Anything short of amputation is no big deal. But when you get older, you start to wonder: what does that sudden pain mean? I never was any good at remembering names, but now when I forget

something does it mean I’m losing it or that I have so much crammed in my head from all those years that there’s just no more space left for new things? I guess when I start forgetting my own name I’ll start to worry.

• At age 20, my diet pretty much consisted of potato chips, pizza, Coke and chocolate. Now pizza once a month is a treat and chips and Coke don’t darken my door. I even eat fruit and an occasional vegetable. I still go for the chocolate, though. Some things you just can’t change. #N Warmth is way more important than style.

I suspect that if you my age and can still remember 40 years ago, which for people who grew up in the 1960s and 1970s isn’t always the case, then you probably empathize with what I’m saying. If you’re younger? Well, you probably don’t understand.

But someday you will.

Oakland to assess damage after Occupy protests end OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) For weeks the protests had waned, with only a smattering of people taking to Oakland’s streets for occasional marches that bore little resemblance to the headline-grabbing Occupy demonstrations of last fall.

Then came Saturday, which started peacefully enough a midday rally at City Hall and a march. But hours later, the scene near downtown Oakland had dramatically deteriorated: clashes punctuated by rock and bottle throwing by protesters and volleys of tear gas from police, and a City Hall break-in that left glass cases smashed, graffiti spray-painted on walls and an American flag burned.

More than 400 people were arrested on charges ranging from failure to disperse to vandalism, police spokesman Sgt. Jeff Thomason said. At least three officers and one protester were injured.

On Sunday, Oakland officials vowed to be ready if Occupy protesters try to mount another large-scale demonstration. Protesters, meanwhile, decried Saturday’s police tactics as illegal and threatened to sue.

Mayor Jean Quan personally inspected damage caused by dozens of people who broke into City Hall.

She said she wants a court order to keep Occupy protesters who have been arrested several times out of Oakland, which has been

After a confrontation with police, demonstrators gained entrance to City Hall where they burned an American flag, broke glass and toppled a model of City Hall. hit repeatedly by demonstrations that have cost the financially troubled city about $5 million.

Quan called on the loosely organized movement to “stop using Oakland as its playground.”

“People in the community and people in the Occupy movement have to stop

making excuses for this behavior,” she said.

Saturday’s protests the most turbulent since Oakland police forcefully dismantled an Occupy encampment in November came just days after the group announced a new round of actions. The group said it planned to use a

vacant building as a social center and political hub and threatened to try to shut down the Port of Oakland for a third time, occupy the airport and take over City Hall.

After the mass arrests, the Occupy Oakland Media Committee criticized the police’s conduct, saying that most of the arrests were made illegally because police failed to allow protesters to disperse. It threatened legal action.

“Contrary to their own policy, the OPD gave no option of leaving or instruction on how to depart. These arrests are completely illegal, and this will probably result in another class action lawsuit against the OPD,” a release from the group said.

Deputy Police Chief Jeff Israel told reporters late Saturday that protesters gathered unlawfully and police gave them multiple verbal warnings to disband.

“These people gathered with the intent of unlawfully entering into a building that does not belong to them and assaulting the police,” Israel said. “It was not a peaceful group.”

Earlier this month, a court-appointed monitor submitted a report to a federal judge that included “serious concerns” about the department’s handling of the Occupy protests. Police officials say they were in “close contact” with the federal monitor during the protests.

It might be best to mind your own business

Today: 5 p.m.: Community Bulletin Board 7:30 p.m.: INN News 9 p.m.: Around Troy

Dear Annie: I have loved a gay man all my life, and I am now 64, so I know a little something about the problem.

I work in an office where a 35year-old man is dating a female co-worker who is 50. I believe they both care for each other, but he is concealing his sexual orientation. I happen to know he has a boyfriend in another city.

I have not mentioned this to anyone not only because it could hurt his position in our conservative company, but also because it's not my business. However, I've begun to wonder whether I ought to say something to his girlfriend. She is going through hell.

He's nice to her and takes her out to lunch often, and she reports their doings with stars in her eyes. Then they will fight, and she avoids him while he waits to get back in her good graces.

She doesn't understand what's going on, and she's miserable. I don't think he's going to tell her the truth, and at this point, she would be furious if she knew he has been leading her on.

What would you suggest?

Should I butt in to save her? I still have to work with both of them. — No Name, No City Dear No Name: We strongly urge you to stay out of this. Your female co-worker realizes she is miserable in this relationship, but is still unwilling to break it off.

Unless there is physical abuse, relationship issues between coworkers are not your business.

It's very likely that your comments would be resented, and this could damage your work environment.

Dear Annie: I am a psychologist with a heartfelt piece of advice for those whose teenage children are struggling with addictions or other issues, and who aren't facing the situation squarely.

Many parents hope their teen will "grow out of it." The problem is, most don't. When the child is under age 18, parents still have lots of power. They can sign their child into a treatment center and communicate with the doctors.

This power is lost once the child reaches 18.

Doctors are not allowed to talk with family members of legal adults unless the child signs consent. And an angry young adult who resists treatment is not likely to sign (or attend treatment, for that matter).

Yes, parents can tell the child that treatment is a condition of financial support, but this can backfire because parents are understandably hesitant to force a mentally ill or addicted child onto the street.

It breaks my heart to see parents of young adults wringing their hands over their child's substance abuse, bipolar disorder or whatever, when that child could have been forced into treatment years earlier.

Please, parents, recognize this window of opportunity when you have it. — A Concerned Psychologist Dear Concerned: Unfortunately, it can be difficult to recognize the severity of the problem at the time, and some things, like schizophrenia, are not apparent until the child is older. Parents do the best they can, but those who fear their child is slipping away should make sure to seek help while they still have the opportunity.

Dear Annie: I agree with your advice to "Left-Out Sister," but why does she wait for her older sister to tell her what the Sunday plans are? Why doesn't she initiate a chat so they can make plans together? Or she could make her own plans with Dad if she wants. She knows that Sunday comes around every week. There's no reason for her to always be left hanging. She sounds too passive. She needs to get involved and ask what's up for the weekend and become part of the decision-making. — P.J.

SATURDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Looking for a well-versed valentine idea?

Dear Readers: Want to add something special to a Valentine’s Day card?

Since 1947, Loveland, Colo., has been hand-stamping cards with a special Valentine’sthemed verse and then sending them on.

Loveland (“The Sweetheart City”) holds a contest from all over the area, and anyone or a group of people may enter to choose the winning design and message for the stamp.

More than 50 volunteers stamp 150,000-plus cards sent to the town from all 50 states and more than 100 countries!

That’s a lot of work!

Hints from Heloise Columnist To have your cards specially stamped, address and stamp (45 cents for U.S. postage) each card. (Make sure to add one for yourself!)

Place all of these in a large envelope and mail to: Postmaster, Attention: Valentine Re-Mailing, 446 E.

29th St., Loveland, CO 80538.

To be sure your card is delivered by Valentine’s Day, it must be received in Loveland no later than Feb. 7. For destinations outside the United States, cards must be received

by Feb. 3 at the latest. — Heloise FAST FACTS Dear Readers: Here are my favorite alternate uses for chopsticks: • As a stake to support small plants.

• Use to pull cooked food out of a toaster oven.

• Use to hold my hair up.

• Wrap a paper towel

around them and clean hardto-reach places.

• Aerate plant soil with them. — Heloise FIXING FINGERNAILS Dear Readers: Hate finding a chip in the nail polish you’re wearing? I do! Here is a handy hint for how to fix this little problem. I call it “tipping.”

First, use a little clear polish to fill in the dent, and let dry.

Then use the colored polish and paint a thin layer over your nail.

Your nail will be as good as new! — Heloise

ARLO AND JANIS

HOROSCOPE Monday, Jan. 30, 2012 Even if you weren’t able to market some of your good ideas in the past, don’t stop trying in the months to come. It isn’t likely that you’ll run into the same obstacle that previously blocked you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — It’s erroneous to believe, as others say, that a very important arrangement is slipping from your control. Regardless of what others try to get you to think, know that the opposite is true.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — You’re presently in a very good cycle for fulfilling your desires and expectations, but good things can only happen if you believe in yourself. Don’t dash your chances for happiness.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Although initially you might not believe it, the odds are slanted in your favor.

Even if you’re delayed for a while, you’ll take full advantage of the lull.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Your powers of observation are extremely astute, so carefully observe a role model handle a situation similar to one you must take care of. If you watch closely, you’ll quickly learn how to do it as well.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — For whatever reason, your dealings with male pals will be easier to handle than any involvements you might have with the ladies. Keep this in mind if you need a favor.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — The proof you’ve been looking for regarding the loyalty and/or support of your associates will be made clear to you.

You should now be able to move forward with your plans.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Any sincere effort you put forth to protect a critical matter for another will work well, and will also let others know that they had better not poke their snoots into matters you want kept private.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Someone who is in a position of power is apt to sense a kinship with you. As a result, she or he is likely to do something significant to help you without being asked.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Normally it isn’t too smart to have too many irons in the fire simultaneously, but your case may be an exception. The more you have going for you, the better your chances are for success.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — It won’t be because you’ll be more forceful or assertive than usual that you’ll have a greater impact on others; it will be because your enthusiastic manner is so uplifting.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Don’t be indifferent about situations that are running smoothly and producing good results for you. If you have the will to do so, they can be improved upon even further.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Your ability to evaluate and utilize information so well is likely to be the envy of all your associates. They’ll see and hear what you do, but won’t know how to copy your results.

CAUTION Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees).

The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount.

While banks and Western branches are Union trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks.

Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable.

King Tut's Life As mentioned above, he became the ruler of Egypt at the young age of nine. It is speculated that he must have had powerful and strong advisers, who might have helped him in ruling the territory. It was during his third year of reign as a king, that he changed his name from Tutankhaten to Tutankhamen. According to historians, king Tut was successful as a ruler, who desperately tried to maintain good relations with neighbors. During his reign, he married Ankhesenepatan, who is said to be his half sister. After marriage, the name of king Tut's wife was changed to Ankhesenamun. Till date, there is no evidence to prove that king Tut had any surviving offspring at the time of his death.

• King Tut was 9 years old when he became Pharoah • His father was Akhenaten • Approximately 3,500 articles were found in the tomb with him

Who discovered King Tut’s tomb?

In 1922, a British archaeologist named Howard Carter found a ancient tomb in Egypt. A tomb is another name for a grave.

In ancient Egypt, many tombs were built like houses, with dried clay brick and stone. Anybody could build a tomb for themselves and their family.

Long before they died, the ancient Egyptians began making items to place inside their tomb. These items were called grave goods.

People loved making grave goods.

It was a family activity. They made grave goods their whole life. They made dolls and baskets and jewelry and little statues of workers and all kinds of things.

Then, as a family outing, they would visit their tomb, and place the grave goods they had made locked safely inside.

One day, in 1922, during the Roaring Twenties, an archaeologist named Howard Carter was working in Egypt. He found a really small tomb.

He didn't think much about it because it was so small. He figured it was the tomb of a commoner. You can imagine his excitement when he opened the door and realized he had found the tomb of an ancient Egyptian pharaoh, a tomb so small that it had been overlooked for thousands of years!

From the hieroglyphic writing on the walls, Howard Carter knew who was buried in the tomb. It was a young pharaoh named King Tunkhannock, King Tut for short. Today, we know what King Tut looked like because Howard Carter found a solid gold mask inside the tomb, designed like the pharaoh's face.

Troy boys, girls 2nd in GWOC North Freshman Zelnick named swimmer of the meet Staff Reports It had been years since Troy had been defeated by Butler at the Greater Western Ohio Conference Championships.

In fact, 2004 was the last year

Troy coach Chris Morgan could remember his girls team being beaten by Butler.

But on Sunday, Butler topped Troy in both boys and girls to win the GWOC North crown, with each Trojan team finishing second in their side of the conference. The girls scored 433 points, while the boys had a score of 445.

It was the Troy girls, however,

with the best overall swimmer at the competition, as freshman Michelle Zelnick was the swimmer of the meet, defeating the entire field in the GWOC in 100 freestyle (53.69 seconds) and the 200 free (1:54.79). She was also being a part of the 200 freestyle relay team that was first in the North (1:46.35) and fourth overall (1:45.86) — the team also included Colleen Powers,

Troy’s Derrick Bark fights for the puck during a game against Anthony Wayne Sunday at Hobart Arena in Troy.

Closing the door Eldridge strong in Troy’s 4-1 win over Anthony Wayne

BY COLIN FOSTER Sports Writer cfoster@tdnpublishing.com Alter’s defeat of Centerville on Saturday opened the door for the Troy Trojans to jump atop the Southwest Ohio High School Hockey League standings, leaving the Trojans a win away from winning the title.

TROY Then on Sunday, it was Troy goalie Jake Eldridge closing the door on Anthony Wayne.

The junior goalie allowed only one goal, while recording 22 saves, and the Trojan offense provided the rest, scoring two goals in the third period to come away with a 4-1 victory over the Generals on Troy’s Senior Night at Hobart Arena.

Troy was the first on the board, with senior Sean Clawson scoring 6:26 into the period one. That goal was assisted by Clay Terrill and Andrew Troy’s Sean Clawson controls the puck during a game against

HONOLULU (AP) — Brandon Marshall caught six passes for 176 yards and a Pro Bowl-record four touchdowns, and the AFC used a second-half surge to beat the NFC 59-41 on Sunday.

The Miami Dolphins wide receiver had a touchdown catch in each quarter, including an early 74-yarder and a 3-yarder in the fourth, in a game filled with highlight-reel catches. He was selected the game’s MVP and his four TD catches set a Pro Bowl record.

The 59 points by the AFC set a Pro Bowl mark, and the 100 points scored by the two teams combined was the second highest, a touchdown shy of the 107 scored in 2004.

But it was clear from the start it was Marshall’s day. He hauled in a deflected, go-ahead 47-yard TD pass from Andy Dalton, while on his back, to give the AFC a 38-35 lead late in the third quarter. It was Marshall’s third TD catch of the game, tying Jimmy Smith’s Pro Bowl record set in 2004.

Marshall, making his third Pro Bowl appearance, then nabbed a 3yard TD pass from Dalton that gave the AFC a 52-35 lead with 8:25 left and put the game away.

The game featured 36 firsttimers, including rookie quarterbacks Cam Newton of the Carolina Panthers and Dalton of the Cincinnati Bengals, who replaced Super Bowl quarterbacks Eli Manning and Tom Brady. Their selection made this Pro Bowl the first to feature two rookie signal callers.

While Dalton looked composed, Newton played horribly struggling to move the ball, stay in the pocket and find his targets, which drew some boos from the sun-splashed, sellout crowd of 48,423.

Newton finished 9 of 27 for 186 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Dalton, meanwhile, was 7 of 9 for 99 yards and two TDs. On his first series, Newton overthrew a wide-open Tony Gonzalez over the middle, with the ball sailing into Eric Weddle’s hands. The San Diego Chargers safety popped up to his feet and returned it 63 yards to the NFC 23, leading to a 37-yard FG by Sebastian Janikowski, which gave the AFC its first lead of the game.

Gaborik’s trick leads Team Chara to win OTTAWA (AP) — Marian Gaborik got the best of New York Rangers teammate Henrik Lundqvist, and Zdeno Chara scored the winning goal for the NHL All-Star team named after him.

Even in defeat, Daniel Alfredsson rewarded the home-

town fans with two goals and an assist, and then the Ottawa Senators captain provided a hint that he might come back for one more season.

For an All-Star game that lacked the league’s top-name talent in Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin, there was plenty to

keep everyone buzzing on Sunday.

Gaborik scored three times, added an assist and earned MVP honors, and Team Chara used a third-period offensive eruption to secure a 12-9 win over Team Alfredsson.

“We have a lot of fun out there,” said Lundqvist, who allowed three

No. 4 OSU blasts No. 20 Michigan COLUMBUS (AP) — Call him a Lenzelle-of-alltrades.

Lenzelle Smith Jr. scored 17 points and had a careerhigh 12 rebounds as No. 4 Ohio State flexed its muscles inside to beat No. 20 Michigan 64-49 on Sunday, keeping the Buckeyes in a first-place tie in the Big Ten. “Quite honestly, with this team we sort of need a jackof-all-trades,” Buckeyes coach Thad Matta said.

“There’s so many times where a team is going to choose to guard us a certain way or scheme a certain defense. He is really understanding his role. The energy-type plays that he made today was definitely something that gave us a spurt and a boost of energy.”

On a day when Ohio State big man Jared Sullinger was limited by foul trouble and his teammates didn’t hit a whole lot of shots, Smith’s hard work on

the boards and on defense meant the world to the Buckeyes (19-3, 7-2).

How good was Smith?

His eight offensive rebounds were just two less than all the Wolverines (16-6, 6-3).

They resulted in 13 points and five free throws enough to tilt the game in the favor of the two-time defending Big Ten champions.

“That’s big-game ‘L’ for you,” Sullinger said of Smith’s huge games against Indiana (28 points) and now Michigan. “When Lenzelle’s rebounding the ball and he’s in tune with the defense, he’s pretty darned good.”

Sullinger had 13 points and William Buford and Deshaun Thomas both had 12 for Ohio State, which ran its winning streak over its archrival to six straight.

By the end of the game, a capacity crowd of 18,809 was singing, “We Don’t Give A Damn For the Whole State of Michigan.”

Wolverines coach John Beilein, whose team hosts the Buckeyes on Feb. 18, said his team will relish the rematch.

“It goes both ways, but we’ll be looking forward to that,” he said. “We circle every game on the calendar.”

Tim Hardaway Jr. had 15 points for the Wolverines.

Trey Burke, the conference’s top freshman point guard, returned to his hometown to play for the first time against Sullinger, his former high school teammate, and finished with 13 points.

“Trey’s a great player,” said Ohio State counterpart Aaron Craft, who had seven points, four assists and three steals. “He’s one of those guys you want to have on your team. You know he’s going to be in attack mode all the whole game. It was definitely a great team effort on him.”

Leading by three points at halftime, the Buckeyes

The Trojans swim at sectional in two weeks.

■ CONTINUED FROM 14 Stang. The Trojans held a 95 shot advantage in the opening period, and led 1-0 heading into the second.

Troy controlled the puck on offense for the better part of three minutes to open the second, leaving Eldridge alone at the other end of the ice. But it didn’t stay like that for long, as the Generals quickly turned to full-attack, unloading shot after shot at the Troy goalie.

Eldridge warded off the first five shots of the period, including a breakaway attempt by Anthony Wayne center Aaron Podbieiniak, but Michael Kaptur was finally able to get a goal to go with 3:57 left in the period, knotting the score at 1-1.

“After they scored (in the second period) they got a little bit of momentum, and they were peppering him pretty good,” Troy coach Larrell Walters said. “He made a lot of good saves.”

But Troy answered back quickly, with Grayson Loerke flipping a shot in goal from 10 feet inside the blue line on a power play.

Loerke’s goal came with 3:02 left in the period and was assisted by Logan Tiderington and senior Nick Usserman.

Then 2:12 into the third, Troy pushed its lead to 3-1 on a goal by Will Schober that was assisted by Clay Terrill and senior Derrick Bark. Terrill then went top shelf for a goal with 3:21 left in the game. Assisting on the play were Schober and

pulled away with a 14-2 run midway through the second half. Bookended by 3-pointers by Burke, most of the points came as a result of backdoor cuts or drives. It didn’t include a 3.

Buford, who was quiet throughout the first half, got it started with a driving layup. Later in the spurt he stepped in front of Burke’s crosscourt pass and streaked the length of the court for a dunk that got a rise out of the crowd.

Smith scored twice in the run a layup on an assist from Buford and a short baseline jumper.

Down 48-35, the Wolverines drew as close as 50-43 on an inside basket by Jordan Morgan. Morgan then stole the ball from Sullinger and grabbed an offensive rebound off a AP PHOTO missed 3 by Douglass.

“We came came back pretty strong in the third period,” Walters said. “We were up 2-1, and we knew it was time to put it away. We were able to get a couple goals.

“That line of Clawson, Schober, Terrill and Stang — they ended up getting three out of the four goals. They played great.”

The Trojans (19-7-2) control their own destiny with

one regular season game left, which just so happens to be against the Alter team that knocked off Centerville.

Troy will host the game, which is slated for 4:15 on Saturday.

The stage is now set for the three seniors on the Troy roster — Usserman, Clawson and Bark — to do something special. As Walters pointed out, if the Trojans do win the SWOHSHL, it may be the

first time ever a Troy team has accomplished that feat.

“You could tell those three seniors were really excited about being out here and playing,” Walters said.

“Sean Clawson, Nick Usserman and Derrick Bark played well tonight. The leadership between those three guys is just amazing.

We are going to miss that next year, but the nice thing is that we will have 13 guys back.”

Djokovic beats Nadal Wins Australian Open in longest Grand Slam singles final ever

AP PHOTO

Novak Djokovic of Serbia hits a backhand return to Rafael Nadal of Spain during the men’s singles final at the Australian Open Monday in Melbourne, Australia. lost seven straight finals against the Serb since March last year. The Spainiard became the first man in the Open Era to lose three straight major finals.

He lost in four sets to Djokovic at last year’s Wimbledon and U.S. Open.

Having reduced Roger Federer to tears when he won the title over five sets in 2009, Nadal maintained his composure during the oncourt speeches and even managed a joke.

“Good morning, everybody,” Nadal said, earning laughs and loud applause from the crowd.

“Congratulations to Novak and his team. They deserve it. They are doing something

fantastic, so congratulations.”

After coming back from 5-3 down to win the fourthset tiebreaker, Nadal was up a break at 4-2 in the fifth set against Djokovic, who seemed to be tiring.

But the No. 1-ranked Djokovic, who needed almost five hours to win his semifinal against Andy Murray, somehow responded. He broke for a 6-5 lead and saved a break point before finally claiming the win.

The previous longest major singles final was Mats Wilander’s win over Ivan Lendl at the U.S. Open in 1988, which lasted 4 hours, 54 minutes.

M E L B O U R N E , Australia (AP) — Novak Djokovic wore down Rafael Nadal in the longest Grand Slam singles final in the history of professional tennis, winning 5-7, 6-4, 6-2, 6-7 (5), 7-5 after 5 hours, 53 minutes to claim his third Australian Open title.

Djokovic wrapped it up at 1:37 a.m. local time on Monday, becoming the fifth man since the Open Era began in 1968 to win three straight Grand Slam finals.

The 24-year-old Djokovic tore off his shirt in celebration after the riveting final.

He went to his support camp and repeatedly thumped the side of the arena in front of them in delight and relief.

Nadal leaned on the net, while Djokovic sat on his haunches before the trophy presentation. Eventually, an official brought them chairs and a bottle of water each.

“We made history tonight and unfortunately there couldn’t be two winners,” Djokovic said.

Djokovic maintained his mastery of Nadal, who has

■ NBA

Cavs top Celtics BOSTON (AP) — It was the same play Cleveland ran at the end of regulation in its third game this season the third game of Kyrie Irving’s NBA career.

He missed that one.

On Sunday night, Cavaliers coach Byron Scott called it again.

“He (learned) not to miss the layup this time,” Scott said after Irving made a layup with 2.6 seconds left to give the Cavaliers an 88-87 victory over Boston. “He had that little look in his eye like he wanted it, almost like he wanted to redeem himself.”

Irving scored 23 points, including the goahead layup in the final seconds as Cleveland scored the last 12 points of the game to snap Boston’s four-game winning streak. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2011 draft, Irving remembered missing a potential gamewinner on the same play when the Cavaliers played Indiana on Dec. 30.

“They gave me the ball at the end of the game and they trusted me to make that shot,” said Irving, whose father, former Boston University star Drederick Irving, was in the stands. “So I’m happy that I actually made the shot this time.”

Irving scored eight points in the fourth quarter, including six in the 12-0 run that brought the Cavs back for the win.

Anderson Varejao scored 18 points and added nine rebounds for Cleveland, which had lost five of six.

Ray Allen returned from an ankle injury and scored 22 points, making 4 of 6 from 3-point range.

But he missed a jumper from the left corner when Boston still held a onepoint lead on its secondto-last possession.

“This was a bad loss for us,” Celtics coach Doc Rivers said. “Not that it was Cleveland; it was that we had the game under control. And we didn’t take care of it.”

■ Golf

Woods falls short ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Tiger Woods talked all week about his improved ball control then it let him down in the final round of the Abu Dhabi Championship.

Woods resembled the Tiger of old the first three rounds before shooting an even-par 72 on Sunday to tie for third behind winner Robert Rock and U.S. Open champion Rory McIlroy.

The 117th-ranked Rock shot a 70 to finish at 13under 275 and beat McIlroy (69) by a shot.

Woods was another stroke back along with Thomas Bjorn (68) and Graeme McDowell (68).

• Farmers SAN DIEGO — Brandt Snedeker won the Farmers Insurance Open in a playoff no one imagined possible until Kyle Stanley hit a wedge into the water and made triple bogey on the last hole.

Snedeker had a tap-in birdie on the 18th and was so certain he would be the runner-up that he drove up to the media center for an interview, just in time to see Stanley run into trouble.
