Lawmakers dig in heels Congressional leaders at stalemate on debt crisis

(AP) — WASHINGTON Congressional leaders on Sunday showed no signs of emerging from their corners to resolve the next step in the financial crisis, with Democrats still talking about higher taxes on the wealthy and the Senate’s top Republican suggesting that a crippling default on U.S. loans was possible unless there were significant cuts in government spending. “It’s a shame we have to use whatever leverage we have in Congress to get the president to

deal with the biggest problem confronting our future, and that’s our excessive spending,” said Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. Last week’s deal to avert the combination of end-of-year tax increases and spending cuts known as the “fiscal cliff” held income tax rates steady for 99 percent of Americans but left some other major pieces of business unresolved. By late February or early March, the Treasury Department will run out of options to cover the

nation’s debts and could begin defaulting on government loans unless Congress raises the legal borrowing limit, or debt ceiling. Economists warn that a default could trigger a global recession. Also looming are deep automatic spending cuts expected to take effect at the beginning of March that could further erase fragile gains in the U.S. economy. Then on March 27, the temporary measure that funds government activities expires, and congressional approval will be needed to

keep the government running. It’s one more chance to fight over spending Lawmakers said debt talks will consume Congress in the coming weeks, likely delaying any consideration of an expected White House proposal on gun restrictions in the wake of the Connecticut school shooting. Republicans say they are willing to raise the debt ceiling but insist any increase must be

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama will nominate Chuck Hagel as his next defense secretary, a senior administration official said Sunday, choosing a former Senate colleague and a decorated Vietnam veteran and signaling he’s ready for a contentious confirmation fight likely dominated by HAGEL questions about Hagel’s stands on Israel and Iran. Obama, who avoided a Capitol Hill battle by deciding not to nominate U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice as his first choice for secretary of state, went ahead with Hagel, 66, even as leading Republicans announced their opposition though they stopped short of saying they might try to block Hagel. Seeking to soften the ground, the White House was alerting Senate Democrats that Hagel’s selection as the successor to Defense Secretary Leon Panetta in Obama’s second-term Cabinet was imminent, according to a congressional official. Obama, who returned to Washington on Sunday from his Hawaiian vacation, was expected to nominate Hagel on Monday. Congress is on break this coming week. The officials requested anonymity in order to discuss Hagel’s nomination ahead of Obama. Hagel, a moderate Republican, built a strong relationship with Obama during their travel as senators. But the former Nebraska lawmaker has faced withering criticism from Congress since emerging as the front-runner for the Pentagon post. Hagel is the second straight Obama favorite for a top national security post to face criticism from

CENTENNIAL, Colo. (AP) — The suspect in the Colorado movie theater killings returns to court this week for a hearing that might be the closest thing to a trial the victims and their families will get to see. J a m e s Holmes, a former neuroscience graduate student, is charged with killing 12 HOLMES people and injuring 70 by opening fire in a darkened theater in the Denver suburb of Aurora last July. At a weeklong preliminary hearing starting today, prosecutors will outline their case against Holmes, the first official public disclosure of their evidence. The judge will then determine whether to send the case to trial. Legal analysts say that evidence appears to be so strong that Holmes may well accept a plea agreement before trial. In such cases, the preliminary hearing can set the stage for a deal by letting each side assess the other’s strengths and weaknesses, said Laurie Levenson, a former federal prosecutor and now a professor at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles.

hearing, along with scores of spectators and reporters. At least two overflow rooms are being prepared where the hearing can be observed by video and audio feeds. District Judge William B. Sylvester has imposed a gag order on attorneys and investigators, and many court documents have been filed under seal, so little is known about Holmes’ path from promising graduate student to suspect in a mass murder. The few details that have been made public suggest a disturbing descent. Holmes enrolled in the University of Colorado, Denver Ph.D. program in neuroscience in 2011. In the spring of 2012, authorities say, he began buying weapons, high-capacity magazines, ammunition, explosives and combat gear. At some point in the school year, he began seeing a university psychiatrist. He failed an oral exam on June 7 and withdrew from the university three days later. He was arrested outside the theater shortly after the July 20 shootings. Federal authorities have said he entered the theater with a ticket and is believed to have propped open a door, slipped out to his car and returned with his weapons.

“One thing I will not over is compromise whether or not Congress should pay the tab for a bill they’ve already racked up,” Obama said in his weekly radio and Internet address. Democrats said further tax increases for the wealthiest Americans were still possible as Congress looks to close the gap

between revenues and expenditures. Democrats point out that Obama has already agreed to significant spending cuts, and that the latest deal only gets the nation to about half of the revenue it needs to resolve the red ink. “Trust me, there are plenty of things within that tax code these loopholes where people can park their money in some island offshore and not pay taxes. These are things that need to be closed. We can do that and use the money to reduce the deficit,” said Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, the secondranking Senate Democrat. House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California said she, too, wants to put “everything on the table from the standpoint of closing loopholes.” But McConnell bluntly declared that the “tax issue is over” after last week’s agreement.

Preliminary hearings “are often the first step to resolving the case, a minitrial so both sides can see the writing on the wall,” Levenson said. J u d g e s rarely throw out a case at this stage because prosecutors must only meet a “probable cause” standard much lower than the “beyond a reasonable doubt” standard for a guilty verdict at trial, said Mimi Wesson, a professor of law at the University of Colorado Law School. Holmes, who faces more than 160 counts including first-degree murder and attempted murder, could have waived his right to a preliminary hearing, allowing lawyers on both sides to prepare for trial. But defense lawyers sometimes go through with the hearing because it gives them a clearer picture of prosecution evidence. “In this case, I think it likely that the genuine purpose of the hearing would be information-gathering by the defense,” Wesson said.

Capitol Hill even before being nominated. Rice withdrew her name from consideration for secretary of state amid charges from GOP senators that she misled the public in her initial accounting of the attacks on Americans at a diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya. After Rice withdrew, Obama named Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass, to lead the State Department. Kerry is expected to be easily confirmed by his longtime Senate colleagues. If confirmed, Hagel would take over a Pentagon that faces budget cuts and a scaling back of the U.S.-led war in Afghanistan. Afghan President Hamid Karzai is expected to meet with Obama in Washington this week to discuss the U.S. presence in Afghanistan after the war formally concludes at the end of 2014. Hagel is likely to support a more rapid withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan. Sen. Mitch McConnell, the top Senate Republican, said earlier Sunday that he was reserving judgment on whether to support Hagel. But he predicted the former Nebraska senator would face serious questions about his stands on Iran and Israel. Any nominee must have “a full understanding of our close relationship with out Israeli allies, the Iranian threat and the importance of having a robust military,” McConnell said on ABC’s “This Week.” Hagel has criticized discussion of a military strike by either the U.S. or Israel against Iran. He also has backed efforts to bring Iran to the table for talks on future peace in Afghanistan. Some lawmakers have been troubled by his comments and actions on Israel, including his reference to the “Jewish lobby” in the United States. “This is a controversial pick,” Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., told CNN. “He is an antagonistic figure when it comes to the state of Israel. It’s a signal you’re sending to Iran at the worst possible time and to our allies.” McConnell, R-Ky., said Hagel, who left the Senate in 2009, has “certainly been outspoken in foreign policy and defense over the years. The question we will be answering, if he’s the nominee, is do his views make sense for that particular job?” McConnell said he would “wait and see how the hearings go and see whether Chuck’s views square with the job he would be nominated to do.” He added, “I’m going to take a look at all the things that Chuck has said over the years and review that, and in terms of his qualifications to lead our nation’s military.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Nebraska Sen. Chuck Hagel is a contrarian Republican moderate and decorated Vietnam combat veteran who is likely to support a more rapid withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan. As President Barack Obama’s likely nominee for defense secretary, Hagel has another credential important to the president: a personal relationship with Obama, forged when they were in the Senate and strengthened during overseas trips they took together. Hagel, 66, has for weeks been the frontrunner for the Pentagon’s top job, four years after leaving behind a Senate career in which he carved out a reputation as an independent thinker and blunt speaker. An announcement on his nomination was expected Monday. “I do think Obama’s done a good job overall. There are a lot of things I don’t agree with him on; he knows it,” Hagel told the foreign policy website Al-Monitor last March. Wounded during the Vietnam War, Hagel backed the Iraq war, but later became a fierce and credible critic of the Bush administration’s war policies, making routine trips to Iraq and Afghanistan. He opposed President George W. Bush’s plan to send an additional 30,000 troops into Iraq a move that has been credited with stabilizing the chaotic country as “the most dangerous foreign policy blunder in this country since Vietnam, if it’s carried out.” While Hagel supported the Afghanistan war resolution, over time he has become more critical of the decade-plus conflict, with its complex nation-building effort. Often seeing the Afghan war through the lens of his service in Vietnam, Hagel has declared that militaries are “built to fight and win wars, not bind together failing nations.” In a radio interview this year, he spoke broadly of the need for greater diplomacy as the appropriate path in Afghanistan, noting that “the American people want out” of the war. In an October interview with the online Vietnam Magazine, Hagel said he remembers telling himself in 1968 in Vietnam, “If I ever get out of this and I’m ever in a position to influence policy, I will do everything I can to avoid needless, senseless war.” If confirmed by the Senate, Hagel would succeed Defense Secretary Leon Panetta. Panetta has made it clear he intends to leave early this year, but has not publicly discussed the timing of his departure. He took the Pentagon job in July 2011.

PSEOP sessions set at Edison State school students prior to their graduation. Students attend classes at both their high school and on the Edison campus, earning credits that can then be used toward a two-year associate’s degree at Edison or transferred to other colleges and universities throughout the state. Most PSEOP students take classes at their current school and Edison, and remain very active at their high schools. “For students who know they’ll be pursuing a degree after high school, PSEOP is an excellent way to not only get college credits for free, but to get a feel for what taking courses at a college level will be like,” said Velina Bogart, coordinator of early college programs at Edison. “We’ve had as many as 20 students in the past few years complete enough courses to receive their two-year associate’s degree before they’ve graduated from high school. That’s the

equivalent of receiving two years of college for free, and those credits are transferrable throughout the state.” Currently, more than 600 students from high schools in Miami, Darke and Shelby counties are enrolled in the program at Edison, which saved families more than $1 million in 2011. “Being a PSEOP student at Edison helped me to get a feel for what college would be like, so if I decided to go to a large university, I’d feel more prepared,” said Alexis Roe, who took college credit classes at Edison while attending Sidney High School. “Even though I was away from my high school half of the day, I was still able to participate in activities at my high school, which was very important for me.” Students and parents who are unable to attend one of the sessions and want to learn more about PSEOP can call Velina Bogart in the Admissions Office at 778-7854.

Jump Rope History While many people associate jump roping with children on a playground, the fact is that jump rope history goes way back to early human history. From the earliest days of rope jumping to today, the sport has evolved considerably and is now a competitive sport. Known as jump rope, skip rope, rope jumping and skipping, the activity dates back to ancient civilizations. The Egyptians used to jump over vines, Aborigines jumped over bamboo and paintings from the medieval period show images of children jumping hoops. Many people associate jump rope with girls’ play, but history indicates that jump roping was originally a man’s game. No one knows the exact jump rope history. There are a number of versions of the sport’s history. What is known, however, is that the practice originated a long time ago, and eventually traveled around the world to become a popular pastime, a favorite form of exercise and a competitive sport. The Early Days The movement of jumping is a natural one. People jump for sport, fun and even survival, such as jumping out of the way to avoid a bite from a dangerous animal. Most jump rope history researchers seem to agree that jump roping dates back to about 1600 B.C., when Egyptians used vines for jumping. Some also date jump roping to ancient China; however, the Western versions probably originated from Egypt. What is known is that jump roping, in some form or another, spread through Europe to the Netherlands, and eventually to

Word Search

North America. Jumping Games Early Dutch settlers were some of the first jump ropers in North America. Not surprisingly, one of the more popular jumping games is called “Double Dutch.” In this game, two people hold two ropes and spin them in opposite directions. Jumpers then jump into and over both ropes. In the early 1940s and 1950s, many children in inner cities used jumping rope as a form of play. It only required a rope, and anyone could play. From the late 1950s until the 1970s, however, jump rope history took a back seat to radio and television. Jump Roping Revitalized In the 1970s, an increased interest in physical fitness and overall health emerged. From programs promoting jump roping to keep kids from other unhealthy activities, to organized jump roping events made

jump rope history evolve into a jump rope craze. Since that time, jump roping has been recognized as a great way to get exercise. It is a fun activity, almost anyone can do it, and it requires very little equipment. Serious jumpers have developed a number of intricate jumping moves and combinations. All forms of jumping, from individual jumping to multi-person Double Dutch jumping, involves highly technical moves and amazing stunts. Jump roping organizations and clubs can be found almost anywhere. Jump rope competitions are serious business, requiring specific timing and a high level of skill. With the ongoing interest in jump roping as an exercise option and as a sport, jump rope history may be a thing of the past.

Plastic Bag Jump Rope

Materials: plastic bags (approx. 12) duct tape scissors chair (optional)

Instructions: 1. Collect a bundle of plastic bags and cut each one open so it becomes one flat piece. (Note: Use different colors of bags to give your jump rope extra splashes of color.) 2. Cut off the handles of each bag and any extra pieces, leaving one large rectangle of plastic. 3. Next, cut each rectangle into long strips. There needn’t be specific lengths or widths; it doesn’t matter in the braiding process. 4. After cutting a few bags’ worth of strips, tie the strips together. Make sure the length of the strips is a little longer then the length you want the jump rope to be. I made a total of 12 long strips. 5. Take six of the strips and tape them together at one end. Then tape the whole group to the back of a chair as a placeholder (if you ever made friendship bracelets as a kid,

you know exactly what I am talking about). 6. Braid the six strips together into one very long, jump rope-sized braid. When you’re finished, repeat this step with the second 6 strips so that you have two long plastic braids. 7. Twist the two braids together tightly so that the jump rope has enough weight to swing when jumping. 8. Tape the ends with duct tape to create handles.

Question: Do you think Barack Obama will do a better job in his second term?

PERSPECTIVE

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” — First Amendment, U.S. Constitution

ANALYSIS

Cliff deal another pain-free punt WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress’ hectic resolution of the “fiscal cliff” crisis is the latest in a long series of decisions by lawmakers and the White House to do less than promised and to ask Americans for little sacrifice in confronting the nation’s burgeoning debt. The deal will generate $600 billion in new revenue over 10 years, less than half the amount President Barack Obama first called for. It will raise income tax rates only on the very rich, despite Obama’s campaign for broader increases. It puts off the toughest decisions about spending cuts for military and domestic programs, including Medicare and Social Security. And it does nothing to mitigate the looming partisan showdown on the debt ceiling, which must rise soon to avoid default on U.S. loans. In short, the deal reached between Obama and congressional Republicans continues to let Americans enjoy relatively high levels of government service at low levels of taxation. The only way that’s possible, of course, is through heavy borrowing, which future generations will inherit. While Americans widely denounce the mounting debt, not so many embrace cuts to costly programs like Social Security. And most want tax increases to hit someone other than themselves. “This is another ‘kick the can down the road’ event,” said William Gale, co-director of the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center and a former Republican White House adviser. “It is a huge missed opportunity.” “Going over the cliff would have put us on a better budget path,” Gale said. The fiscal cliff’s combination of big tax increases and deep spending cuts would have provided major political leverage for both parties to achieve greater deficit reduction as they worked to ease some, but not all, of its bite. In fact, the whole point of the congressionally created cliff was to force the government which borrows about 31 cents of every dollar it spends to begin a fiscal diet that would spread the unpleasantness widely. Instead, Congress and the White House did what they almost always do. At the last minute they downsized their proposals, protecting nearly every sector of society from serious pain. The accord leaves most government programs operating as usual, postponing yet again the threat of serious reductions. Aside from the payroll tax increase, which drew little debate even though it affects almost all working Americans, the compromise will raise tax rates only on incomes above $450,000 for couples and $400,000 for individuals. That’s less than 1 percent of U.S. taxpayers. Obama had campaigned for thresholds of $200,000 and $250,000. The fiscal cliff’s implementation would have made it nearly impossible for Republicans to stop him, if Democrats had held their ground. That might have produced an ugly scene, rattled the financial markets and sparked even more partisan bitterness. But any step toward major deficit-reduction will trigger anger, threats and genuine discomfort for people who receive government services or pay taxes. In other words, everyone. And such steps can ignite opposition from powerful interest groups, which always stand ready to give money to the campaign opponents of lawmakers who displease them. The AARP, just as one example, used TV ads and other tactics throughout the fiscal cliff debate to warn elected officials not to touch Social Security and Medicare, even though those programs constitute a major portion of federal spending.

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP Toronto Sun on the United Nations: When the usual jackasses and jackals of the United Nations expressed their rabid hatred of western sensibilities in November regarding Israel, Canada proudly voted against them. That said, this siding with Israel by Canada did not stop Prime Minister Stephen Harper from later phoning Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to chide him for reviving settlement plans east of Jerusalem that have been plaguing peace talks since the outset. But when the UN formally upgraded the Palestinian Authority from a non-member observer to a non-member observer state, it was only throwing more oil on an already slippery slope.

Any chance of peace between Israel and the terrorist-controlled Hamas government using the Gaza region of Palestine as a launching pad for Israeli-bound missiles, was set back dramatically. It was a sad day, particularly since some usually thoughtful nations — France in particular — voted with the Communist big hitters of Russia and China, while despotic little regimes voted in their usual anti-Israel, anti-anything-western way. We stand firmly with Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird, who was in New York to voice his opposition to the UN’s resolution, that such a “reward” should not come before a real peace is negotiated. … Just because the PLO’s transformation into the Palestinian Authority gave it a

modicum of undue credibility, now is also not the time to look upon Hamas as a legitimate government, despite the allusion that it was democratically elected. To us, it is still a terrorist organization, and the Palestinian Authority is still the PLO, and bent on the destruction of Israel. A few months before Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas got his much-coveted UN observer state status, his vitriol against Israel was in full rage, warning the international community siding with Israel to back off or else. “Don’t order us to recognize a Jewish state,” Abbas said. “We won’t accept it.” And for this he gets rewarded by the UN? What a farce.

DOONESBURY

We are a world left awash in the unwashed You are probably going to want to consider using the full-service pump at the gas station after reading this. Researchers from companies that make hygiene products have ruined the complacency of daily living by publishing a list of the seven germiest public places. Now admittedly, researchers employed by manufacturers of hand sanitizers might not be the most unbiased of investigators. But still. Plus, I read about this in Prevention magazine, so you know it has to be true. Without tipping the ick-meter clear over onto the peg, let me describe the outcome of the studies. The folks conducting the research swabbed spots they deemed to be the most accessible to the public hand. They were looking for a substance that is present in all bacteria. The key word there is “all.” “All” as in including staph and (ick-meter surge alert) E. coli. Here is the bad news. Gas pump handles were the most commonly contaminated objects. So the next time you pump your own 87 octane and then run in to grab one of those varnished-looking hot dogs (known to the author as “slick dogs”) you might want to conduct a surgical-level scrub on

Marla Boone Troy Daily News Columnist your hands first. On second thought, if you routinely dine on gas station cuisine and aren’t dead yet, chances are a random bit of E. coli isn’t going to hurt you. Next germiest place were the handles of sidewalk mailboxes. I personally think the United States Postal Service is one of the last bargains in America. For less than 50 cents, you can send a letter clear across the country. If the addressee has moved, the good people of the post office will, for no additional charge, re-send the letter to your intended’s new home. Right to his door. All this is great, but pull your sleeve down over your hand when you pull open the mailbox on the corner. Surprisingly, escalator rails were germier than ATM buttons. True, there are very few escalators in Miami County and there is an ATM approximately every 20 feet

but, contrary to popular belief, the universe not does end at the Miami County line. Here are the most logical conclusions: A) People use escalators more than they use ATMs. This, of course, is patently ridiculous. People use ATMs as though there were $20 bills spilling out of them. Wait a minute ... OK, forget conclusion A. B) People who use escalators have less admirable hygiene habits than people who use ATMs. C) Escalators are found in buildings in larger cities. Ergo, residents of larger cities are slobs. Take your pick. Same thing with item number five. Parking meters are notoriously germy. People who use parking meters have, almost universally, just gotten out of their cars. So doesn’t it stand to reason that steering wheels are in a tie with parking meters in the realm of germiness? Many people, depending upon their vehicle’s MPG rating, have just come from the gas station. The gas pump, you will recall, is right there at the top of the heap in the world of germinfested public objects. I am sensing a trend here, if not a vicious circle of re-infestation. But apparently, it is not just drivers of gas-guzzling cars who are unmindful of sanitation.

Pedestrians also guilty of lapses in hand washing. Cross walk buttons are loaded with germs. Of course, the cross walk button could be used by someone who just got out of their car with its filthy steering wheel that no doubt was contaminated by that gas pump handle that was positively awash in germs and who then made the major midtown mistake of turning the parking meter knob with unsheathed hands. If all this talk of germs and uncleanliness and inadequate hand washing is making you lightheaded, please don’t misinterpret that sensation for low blood sugar. Low blood sugar might induce someone to go to the nearest vending machine for a dose of a glucose-laden snack. And vending machines — you guessed it— are equipped with buttons harboring germs that will kill you quicker than the 14 grams of trans fat in a candy bar. Before you decide to retire from the germy world to avoid catching the plague just by filling your gas tank, be aware than 17 percent of all cell phones are contaminated with E. coli. You can’t blame that on M & Ms. Marla Boone appears every other Monday in the Troy Daily News

Barry needs to know his marriage is at stake

Today: 5 p.m.: Miami Valley Events Calendar 6 p.m.: Legislative Update 8 p.m.: Have History Will Travel

Dear Annie: I have been married to "Barry" for 20 years. Even though we live several hours from his mother, she controls many of our family's decisions. My mother-in-law is our only living parent. I have tried many times to please her, without success. I often have the family over to our home and invite them to our summer cottage. I plan outings and shop for gifts. She doesn't drive, so I take her to the grocery and wherever else she needs to go. But in her eyes, I cannot do anything right. Barry jumps when she asks him to do anything. If she needs a light bulb changed, he immediately goes to fix it. She has always been his "boss" in terms of what he does, how he does it and when he does it. And she is his confidante when it comes to our marriage, which does not help. For the past several years, Barry has been very uninterested in me. He's angry all the time and blames me for everything that goes wrong in his life. I've been to counseling, but Barry (and his mother) feels this is nonsense and says there must be something wrong with me. I have been an outsider in Barry's family for my entire marriage and see no hope of changing it. Where do I go from here? Is divorce my only answer? I truly love my husband, but I don't like our life with his family, and he is unwilling to make changes. — Sad in the North Dear Sad: Your mother-in-law sounds difficult, but your real problem is Barry. If he would back you up, it would give you an opportunity to change the dynamics within the relationship. But his family doesn't show you respect because Barry doesn't demand it, and worse, he makes them believe they can treat you poorly. And while his family deserves his consideration, as well, it shouldn't come at your expense. Tell Barry that your marriage is in serious trouble, not only because of the way his family treats you, but because he is angry and uninterested. If he refuses to go for counseling, go back on your own and figure out what's best for you. Dear Annie: A year ago, I approached my aunt about something she did that hurt my family. I tried to do so with gentleness and respect. However, not only did she not apologize, but she also completely rationalized her behavior. Now she acts as if I did something wrong, and she is ignoring me. We used to be quite close and corresponded frequently. I still write to her, but get no response. She sends texts to everyone but me. She even writes my wife and kids, but it's as if I no longer exist. How should I deal with this situation? — The Silent Treatment Dear Silent: You caught your aunt behaving poorly. Instead of being mature about it, she became defensive. Now she is punishing you as a way to avoid taking responsibility for her actions. If you are willing to forgo the apology, you can simply tell her you miss her and the closeness you once had. It's also possible that in time she will begin including you again, as long as you don't mention the previous unpleasantness. We hope she will grow up soon. Dear Annie: "Worried Papa" said his teenage daughter wants to get her navel pierced. I got mine pierced in my 20s because everyone else was doing it, so of course I thought it was cool, too. In my 30s, I got pregnant and removed the ring. Now I have an ugly hole that was stretched during two pregnancies. Tattoos also stretch with aging and pregnancy, and some of them look like gross ink blobs as your skin loses its elasticity. — Should Have Thought Twice Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Sound off on return envelope issues Dear Readers: Here is this week’s SOUND OFF, about return envelopes from businesses: “I wish that envelopes for bills had the company name on them (Heloise here: The reader means envelopes with a clear window). I have several bills (especially medical) with these envelopes. But at times they get mixed up, and nowhere can I find the company name. Sometimes the way the name fits in the envelope window is a clue, but not always! — Laurie in Mississippi”

Hints from Heloise Columnist

FAST FACTS Dear Readers: Uses for extra ice cubes: • Put in a pet’s water bowl. • Give to a cat or dog to play with. • Place in plants to water. • Save in a separate bag to

use for ice packs. • Put in a bowl of soup to cool it. — Heloise CLEANING A HEADSTONE Dear Heloise: We recently visited my parents’ grave. We noticed that there is a lot of mold on the headstone. Could you tell me how to remove it? — Peggy in Arkansas Peggy, be careful. Make sure the stone really needs to be cleaned before beginning. Improper or excessive cleaning can lead to faster deterioration of the stone. Check the entire stone for flaking, cracking,

erosion or any other suspicious areas. If you notice any of these, do not clean the stone. Start with just clean water and a soft-bristled brush. Make sure you have access to a lot of water. Wet the stone and softly scrub in a circular motion. Rinse the brush and stone frequently. Working from the top of the stone down can cause streaking, so always work from the bottom up to avoid this. If that does not work, there are a few products available that are acceptable to use. Make sure the product is biodegradable, nonacidic and nonabrasive.

ARLO & JANIS

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Tuesday, Jan. 8, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You’re up for adventure! You want to learn something new, and you want to have fun doing it. Sudden opportunities to travel or study might fall in your lap. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Be on the lookout for opportunities from others as well as surprise gifts, goodies and favors, because these things will come your way today! But you won’t expect them. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Friends and partners might have a few surprises in store for you today. This is a good day to enjoy fun times with others. Stay flexible and open to spontaneity! CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Something unexpected will interrupt your routine at work today. Computer crashes, staff changes or the introduction of new technology are just some possibilities. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a fun-loving, pleasurable day! Enjoy romantic escapades, sports events, movies, social diversions and playful activities with children. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Your home routine will have a few surprises today. Small appliances could break down. More likely, unexpected company at the door will generate a spontaneous party! LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is a mildly accident-prone day for you, so slow down and take it easy. Allow extra time so that you have wiggle room for whatever you’re doing. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Watch your money today. It’s very easy to go overboard or overestimate something. It’s also easy to be caught by surprise. Guard your possessions against loss or theft. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is a fun-loving, feel-good day, and yet, it’s also full of surprises and detours. Nevertheless, you’re along for the ride with your usual zest for life! Enjoy. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) A gaggle of planets are forming in your sign, which is very empowering. It will be very easy to make things go your way; although today, you’re excited about something that is hidden and private. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Unusual friends and surprising situations in a group context might catch you off guard today. Nevertheless, you will enjoy all your exchanges with others, because you love the unusual. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Bosses, parents and teachers might surprise you today; however, it could be vice versa, since private details of your life might be made public. (“Unexpected” is definitely the operative word.) YOU BORN TODAY You have the uncanny ability to burst on the scene, making a huge impression on people. You definitely stand out, often because you take saucy chances and push the sides of the envelope. You exude selfconfidence (whether you have it or not), and you push yourself to the limits. Expect a lovely, social year ahead in which all relationships will improve. Enjoy! Birthdate of: Elvis Presley, singer/actor; Stephen Hawking, physicist/author; David Bowie, musician.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Monday, Jan. 7, the seventh day of 2013. There are 358 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 7, 1973, sniper Mark Essex laid siege at a Howard Johnson’s Motor Lodge in downtown New Orleans for about 10 hours, killing seven people before he himself was slain by sharpshooters. On this date: In 1610, astronomer Galileo

Galilei began observing three of Jupiter’s moons (he spotted a fourth moon almost a week later). In 1789, the first U.S. presidential election was held. Americans voted for electors who, a month later, chose George Washington to be the nation’s first president. In 1942, the Japanese siege of Bataan began during World War II. (The fall of Bataan three months later was followed by the notorious Death

March.) In 1953, President Harry S. Truman announced in his State of the Union message to Congress that the United States had developed a hydrogen bomb. In 1963, the U.S. Post Office raised the cost of a first-class stamp from 4 to 5 cents. Today’s Birthdays: Author William Peter Blatty is 85. Country singer Jack Greene is 83. Pop musician Paul Revere is 75.

Fishermen hoping for help with Sandy storm losses MIDDLETOWN, N.J. (AP) — While Superstorm Sandy did highly visible damage to homes, boardwalks and roads, it also walloped the Northeastern fishing industry, whose workers are hoping for a small piece of any future disaster assistance that Congress might approve. The storm did millions of dollars’ worth of damage to docks, fish processing plants and restaurants. But it also caused millions more in lost wages to boat employees who couldn’t work for two to three weeks, to truck drivers who had nothing to transport, and to other assorted industries that service commercial fishing. The $9.7 billion measure to fund the National Flood Insurance program, passed by Congress on Friday, did not include anything for the fishing industry; a bill the Senate passed in December would have allocated $150 million for that purpose. Some of the worst damage to fisheries in the region occurred at the Belford Seafood Cooperative on the Raritan Bay shoreline in Middletown, where the pounding waves destroyed a 75-foot-long dock, gutted a popular restaurant, and ripped away all five garage doors and parts of the exterior of office and storage buildings. The co-op’s manager, Joe Branin, estimates the damage at close to $1 million. “We went three weeks before we were able to pack a fish,” said Branin, whose business was still without electricity in mid-December. “We lost almost all our equipment. It was three weeks before anybody could do anything.” The restaurant, where diners could eat scallops and fillets literally right off the boat, had provided $5,000 to $8,000 a week in revenue that is now gone. The co-op supported 50

Obama signs bill for Sandy flood insurance claims WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama has signed into law a $9.7 billion bill to pay flood insurance claims from Superstorm Sandy. The law increases the borrowing authority of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. FEMA had warned that it was set to run out of money without additional dollars from Congress. The White House said more than 100,000 flood claim payments from Sandy would be delayed without the additional money. The House has yet to act on a larger, more comprehensive Sandy aid package. Republican leaders did not bring the bill to the floor before the last session of Congress adjourned. House Speaker John Boehner has promised a vote AP PHOTO In a Nov. 20, 2012, photo, Eddie Johnston, an employee Jan. 15 on that $51 billion package, and Senate leadat the Viking Village commercial fishery in Barnegat ers have promised a vote the following week. Light N.J. shovels ice into a huge tub. families who either work directly for it or in supporting roles. Many of those workers simply did without a paycheck for weeks afterward. The situation was the same at New Jersey’s Viking Village port on Long Beach Island’s Barnegat Light, where boats were idled after the storm. “We couldn’t get to work for two weeks because the infrastructure was all torn up here,” said Bob Brewster, who owns three of the port’s 45 fishing boats and estimates he lost between $10,000 and $20,000 in lost catch. “We were just twiddling our thumbs, waiting to get back out on the water. Everybody wants to make a living, and for a while, we couldn’t.” In Hampton Bays, N.Y., Doug Oakland estimated two marinas he owns suffered between $800,000 and $1 million in damage. He estimates about a dozen other marinas in the eastern Long Island community were similarly affected. “The marinas got beat up pretty hard. There’s a 75-foot section of our pier that’s just gone,” he said. “There was about three to four weeks right after the storm where all the fish kind of disappeared,” he said. “The first two weeks, fishermen couldn’t even get

out because a lot of their gear was buried in sand. With the gas shortage, there were no fuel trucks, and there really was no market to sell the fish to because nobody had power. There was no sense in even trying to catch them.” Though most of the individual boats up and down the East Coast escaped damage, they were forced to stay at the dock because of a combination of problems. That included damage to their home ports; torn-up roads that forced street closures and kept workers, truck drivers, and customers from reaching the docks; the disruption to normal fishing patterns after the storm that

saw many profitable species chased away until the following year; and even difficulty in getting in and out of ports because of new sand bars. A strong nor’easter a week after Sandy just made things worse. “We couldn’t get trucks to transport the product,” said Dwight Kooyman, who manages two of Viking Village’s scallop boats. “I have five guys that work for me that couldn’t work that entire time. If they don’t work, they don’t get paid.” They’re all waiting to see whether Congress includes them in the billions of dollars in storm reconstruction aid it is considering. Less

than three weeks after the Oct. 29 storm, the U.S. Commerce Department declared a fishery resource disaster for New Jersey and New York. But all that did was authorize the federal government to disburse any aid that Congress approves.

Specific plans for applying for and distributing any aid to fishermen still have to be formulated. Dale Parsons is a fifthgeneration fisherman at the Jersey shore, who owns a shellfish business in Tuckerton, and who used to own a commercial hatchery for tiny clams and oysters on the edge of Barnegat Bay until Sandy destroyed it, causing several hundred thousand dollars’ worth of losses. “It was millions of oysters and clams that won’t be spawned next year,” he said. “Even if we rebuild right now, it will take a good year, year and a half to get it together. It’s going to take a long time coming.” The damage to seafood processors and docks is only part of the industry’s problems, Parsons said; he also fears reduced business from restaurants who see fewer tourists this summer and order less seafood.

BALTIMORE (AP) — The Baltimore Ravens want one long final ride for Ray Lewis. Having disposed of Andrew Luck and the Colts, they now face a more imposing challenge. Next up, Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos. Anquan Boldin set a franchise record with 145 yards receiving, including the clinching touchdown in the Ravens’ 24-9 victory Sunday over Indianapolis in an AFC wild-

card game. The win delays star linebacker Lewis’ retirement for at least another week as Baltimore (11-6) heads to topseeded Denver (13-3) next Saturday. The Broncos beat the Ravens 34-17 three weeks ago. “I wanted Denver,” Boldin said, “because they beat us. “We’ll make it different.” And he wanted the Broncos because it prolongs the Ravens’ pursuit of their first NFL title

since the 2000 season, when Lewis won the first of two Defensive Player of the Year awards. “I came to Baltimore to win a championship,” Boldin added. “We all did.” Lewis, who made 13 tackles Sunday, ended his last home game in Baltimore at fullback, of all things, for the final kneeldown. He then went into a short version of his trademark dance before being mobbed by team-

NHL, players settle labor dispute NEW YORK (AP) — They walked into a Manhattan hotel, knowing they were running out of time to save their season. After 16 hours of tense talks, the NHL and its players finally achieved their elusive deal early Sunday morning, finding a way to restart a sport desperate to regain momentum and boost its prominence. Ending a bitter dispute that

wiped out a large part of the hockey season for the third time in less than two decades, the league and its union agreed to the framework of a 10-year labor contract that will allow a delayed schedule to start later this month. On the 113th day of a management lockout and five days before the league’s deadline for a deal, the bleary-eyed sides held a

6 a.m. news conference to announce there will be a season, after all. NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman and union head Donald Fehr both appeared drained, wearing sweaters and not neckties, when they stood side by side at the hotel and announced labor peace.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Chip Kelly won’t be packing his visor or high-powered offense and joining the Browns. A person familiar with Cleveland’s coaching search says the team will not be hiring Oregon’s offensive wizard, who nearly reached an agreement with the Browns on Friday. However, the 49-year-old Kelly was indecisive about making the jump to the NFL and the Browns decided to move on to other candidates. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Sunday because of the sensitivity of the search. The Browns questioned whether Kelly “was committed to coming to the NFL,” said the person, and the team decided to continue the search for their sixth fulltime coach since 1999. Kelly, who turned down Tampa Bay’s job deep into negotiations last season, may stay in the college game and return to Oregon, where he has built the Ducks into a national power. Oregon has gone 46-7 the past four seasons under Kelly and made four straight appearances in BCS bowl games. After Kelly met with the Browns for seven hours Friday, it appeared he was headed to Cleveland. The Philadelphia Eagles even decided to leave Arizona after they were informed a deal between the Browns and Kelly was imminent. However, Kelly wanted to keep a scheduled interview with the Eagles and the team returned and reportedly spent nine hours with him on Saturday. Kelly also met with the Buffalo Bills, but that was nothing more than a cursory interview for both sides. The pursuit of Kelly created an interesting subplot between the Browns and Eagles. Cleveland CEO Joe Banner spent 19 seasons in Philadelphia before leaving the team last year amid a power struggle. Banner is longtime friends with Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie, and the two of them potentially squaring off in a bidding war for Kelly was straight out of a screenplay. It’s not known what kind of offer the Browns made for Kelly, who earned a base salary of $2.8 million last season at Oregon and still has five years left on his contract. Meanwhile, the Eagles confirmed they had scheduled an interview with Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy on Sunday. Kelly’s high-octane, hurry-up offense has raised his profile and made the Ducks, with their splashy array of colorful Nike uniforms, more than a curiosity. Several NFL teams, including the New England Patriots and Washington Redskins, are using elements of Kelly’s schemes in their offenses.

RG3 hurt as Redskins fall to Wilson, Seahawks

■ CONTINUED FROM 13 greatest moments. “I knew how it started but I never knew how it would end here in Baltimore. To go the way it did today, I wouldn’t change nothing.” He would like nothing more than to change past results against Manning, who was 2-0 in the postseason against Baltimore while with the Colts. “It’s on to the next one,” the 17-year veteran said. “We saw them earlier in the year and now we get them back again, but with all of our guns back.” The loss ended the Colts’ turnaround season in which they went from 214 to the playoffs in coach Chuck Pagano’s first year in Indianapolis (11-6). Pagano missed 12 weeks while undergoing treatment for leukemia and returned last week. He was upbeat following the defeat to the team he served as an assistant coach for four years. “The foundation is set, and we said we were going to build one on rock and not on sand,” Pagano said. “You weather storms like this and you learn from times like this.” Offensive coordinator Bruce Arians, who went 93 as interim coach, was absent Sunday after being hospitalized with an undisclosed illness. Pagano said Arians “is fine” and would stay overnight for observation before rejoining the Colts on Monday. Quarterback coach Clyde Christensen called the plays, but Baltimore’s suddenly revitalized defense inspired by Lewis’ pending retirement, no doubt never let standout rookie QB Luck get comfortable. “It’s great making the playoffs, but you can’t make mistakes and expect to beat a playoff team like

we did,” said Luck, who was sacked three times, Paul Kruger getting 2 of those. “We’ll have to look back at those and hopefully fix them.” Sunday’s victory enhanced the Ravens’ success rate in opening playoff games. Flacco now has won at least one postseason game in all five of his pro seasons, the only quarterback to do it in the Super Bowl era. His main target Sunday was Boldin, who had receptions of 50 and 46 yards, plus his 18-yard TD on a floater from Flacco in the corner of the end zone with 9:14 to go. “I told (Flacco) before the game I was going to get 200 yards,” Boldin said with a chuckle. “It’s huge for us. It’s huge for this city, they’ve supported us this entire year and they expect a lot from us. In return, we want to give it to them.” Baltimore overcame the first two lost fumbles of the season by Ray Rice, too, as John Harbaugh became the only head coach in the Super Bowl era with wins in his first five playoff campaigns. Backup halfback Bernard Pierce rescued Rice with a 43-yard burst that led to Boldin’s touchdown, and ran for 103 yards. Flacco also connected with Dennis Pitta for a 20yard TD and rookie Justin Tucker made a 23-yard field goal. Indy’s only points came on three field goals by Adam Vinatieri, from 47, 52 and 26 yards. Luck completed 28 of 54 passes for 288 yards. It was the most attempts by a rookie in a playoff game. Reggie Wayne had 108 yards on eight receptions and moved into second in career playoff catches with 91, which is 60 behind leader Jerry Rice.

LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Russell Wilson raced ahead to throw the final block on Marshawn Lynch’s go-ahead touchdown run, and the Seattle Seahawks finally had a victorious road show. Robert Griffin III’s knee buckled as he tried to field a bad shotgun snap, leaving the Washington Redskins an offseason to worry about their franchise player’s health. The last rookie quarterback standing in the NFL playoffs is Wilson the thirdround pick who teamed with Lynch on Sunday to lead the Seahawks to a 24-14 victory over the Griffin and the Redskins. Lynch ran for 131 yards, and Wilson completed 15 of 26 passes for 187 yards and ran eight times for 67 yards for the Seahawks, who overcame a 14-0 first-quarter hole their biggest deficit of the season and will visit the top-seeded Atlanta Falcons next Sunday. “It was only two touchdowns, but it’s still a big comeback and in this setting and the crowd, it’s a marvelous statement about the guys resolve and what is going on,” Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. “It’s not about how you start but how you finish.” Seattle will be riding a six-game winning streak, having left behind any doubts that the team can hold its own outside the Pacific Northwest. The Seahawks were 3-5 on the road in the regular season and had lost eight straight road playoff games, the last win coming in December 1983 against the Miami Dolphins. The day began with three rookie quarterbacks in the playoffs, but No. 1 overall pick Andrew Luck was elim-

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson passes the ball during the second half of an NFL wild card playoff football game against the Washington Redskins Sunday in Landover, Md. inated when the Indianapolis Colts lost 24-9 to the Baltimore Ravens earlier in the day. Lynch’s change-ofdirection, 27-yard touchdown run with Wilson leading the way with a block on safety Madieu Williams near the goal line and a 2-point conversion gave the Seahawks a 21-14 lead with 7:08 remaining. “Marhsawn always tells me, ‘Russ, I got your back, no matter what,’” Wilson said. “So I just try to help him out every cone in a while when he gets downfield.” Then came the play that essentially put the outcome to rest. On the second play of the Redskins’ next possession, Griffin’s heavily braced right knee buckled badly as he tried to field a bad shotgun snap on a second-and-22 at Washington’s 12-yard line. He lay on the ground, unable

to recover the ball as the Seahawks pounced on it. Griffin walked off the field under his own power, but the Redskins announced he would not return. After a few minutes, Griffin walked back to the sideline and watched the end of the game. The extent of the injury was not immediately known. Griffin was playing in his third game since spraining his right knee about a month ago against the Baltimore Ravens, and he had been looking gimpy since tumbling backward following an ill-advised sidearm throw in the first quarter. Nevertheless, he stayed in the game. Redskins coach Mike Shanahan said he didn’t pull Griffin because the quarterback wanted to continue. “I think I did put myself at more risk,” Griffin said. “But every time you get on the field, you’re putting your-

self on the line.” Griffin was scheduled for an MRI to determine the extent of the injury. Having recovered the fumble, the Seahawks kicked a short field goal to give them the insurance they needed. Fellow rookie Kirk Cousins, subbing for Griffin, was unable to rally the Redskins in the final minutes. Griffin, the No. 2 overall pick and last year’s Heisman Trophy winner who set several rookie quarterback record this year, finished 10 for 19 for 84 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. He also had five carries for 21 yards, including a laboring 9-yard run that made him look 32 years old instead of 22. The loss ended a sevengame winning streak for the Redskins, who recovered from a 3-6 start to win the NFC East.

Will BCS title live up to hype? Marrone is new ND vs. Bama square off tonight in South Beach MIAMI (AP) — Sometimes, the buildup to a game can overwhelm what actually happens on the field. Certainly, No. 1 Notre Dame and No. 2 Alabama would have to play nothing less than a classic to live up to all the hype for Monday night’s BCS championship. Before either team stepped on the field in balmy South Florida, this was shaping up as one of the most anticipated games in years, a throwback to the era when Keith Jackson & Co. called one game a week, when it was a big deal for teams from different parts of the country to meet in a bowl game, when everyone took sides based on where they happened to live. North vs. South. Rockne vs. Bear. Rudy vs. Forrest Gump. The Fighting Irish vs. the Crimson Tide. College football’s two most storied programs, glorified in movie and song, facing off for the biggest prize. “It’s definitely not any other game,” said Alabama linebacker C.J. Mosley. For the Crimson Tide (12-1), this is a chance to be remembered as a fullfledged dynasty. Alabama will be trying to claim its third national championship in four years and become the first school to win back-to-back BCS titles, a remarkable achievement given the everincreasing parity of the college game and having to replace five players from last year’s title team who were picked in the first two rounds of the NFL draft. “To be honest, I think this team has kind of

That’s not the case when it comes to Notre Dame. Despite their impressive legacy, the Fighting Irish (12-0) weren’t even ranked at the start of the season. But overtime wins against Stanford and Pittsburgh, combined with three other victories by a touchdown or less, gave Notre Dame a shot at its first national title since 1988. After so many lost years, the golden dome has reclaimed its luster in coach Brian Kelly’s third season. “It starts with setting a clear goal for the program,” Kelly said. “Really, what is it? Are we here to get to a bowl game, or are we here to win national championships? So the charge

immediately was to play for championships and win a national championship.” Both Notre Dame and Alabama have won eight Associated Press national titles, more than any other school. They are the bluest of the blue bloods, the programs that have long set the bar for everyone else even while enduring some droughts along the way. ESPN executives were hopeful of getting the highest ratings of the BCS era. Tickets were certainly at a premium, with a seat in one of the executive suites going for a staggering $60,000 on StubHub the day before the game, and even a less-thanprime spot in the corner of the upper deck requiring a payout of more than $900. “This is, to me, the ultimate match-up in college football,” said Brent Musberger, the lead announcer for ESPN. Kelly molded Notre Dame using largely the same formula that has worked so well for Saban in Tuscaloosa: a bruising run-

ning game and a stout defense, led by Heisman Trophy finalist Manti Te’o. “It’s a little bit old fashioned in the sense that this is about the big fellows up front,” Kelly said. “It’s not about the crazy receiving numbers or passing yards or rushing yards. This is about the big fellas, and this game will unquestionably be decided up front.” While points figure to be at a premium given the quality of both defenses, Alabama appears to have a clear edge on offense. The Tide has the nation’s highest-rated passer (AJ McCarron), two 1,000-yard rushers (Eddie Lacy and T.J. Yeldon), a dynamic freshman receiver (Amari Cooper), and three linemen who made the AP AllAmerica team (first-teamers Barrett Jones and Chance Warmack, plus second-teamer D.J. Fluker). The Crimson Tide had gone 15 years without a national title when Saban arrived in 2007, the school’s fifth coach in less than a decade (including one, Mike Price, who didn’t even made it to his first game in Tuscaloosa). Finally, Alabama got it right. In 2008, Saban landed one of the greatest recruiting classes in school history, a group that has already produced eight NFL draft picks and likely will send at least three more players to the pros (including Jones). The following year, the coach guided Alabama to a perfect season, beating Texas in the title game at Pasadena. Last season, the Tide fortuitously got a shot at another BCS crown despite losing to LSU during the regular season and failing to even win its division in the Southeastern Conference. In a rematch against the Tigers, Alabama romped to a 21-0 victory at the Superdome.

coach in Buffalo ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Doug Marrone is set to try to turn around an NFL team after improving a college program down the road. Marrone reached an agreement to become the Buffalo Bills’ new coach Sunday, three people familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press. One person said the sides were still putting the finishing touches on the contract for Marrone to sign. The people spoke on the condition of anonymity because there has not been an official announcement. Marrone will replace Chan Gailey, who was fired Dec. 31, a day after

the Bills closed their second consecutive season with a 6-10 record and the NFL’s extended longest active playoff drought to 13 seasons. The 48-year-old Marrone, who is from the Bronx, went 25-25 in four seasons at Syracuse. ESPN.com first reported early Sunday that Marrone would be leaving the Orange to become the Bills’ next coach. Syracuse was 26-57 over a seven-year period before Marrone took over at his alma mater. The Orange finished this season 8-5, winning six of their last seven games, including a 38-14 victory over West Virginia in the Pinstripe Bowl.

NHL ■ CONTINUED FROM 13 “We have reached an agreement on the framework of a new collective bargaining agreement, the details of which need to be put to paper,” Bettman said. “We’ve got to dot a lot of Is, cross a lot of Ts. There’s still a lot of work to be done, but the basic framework of the deal has been agreed upon.” Lawyers will spend the next few days drafting a memorandum of agreement. The stoppage led to the cancellation of at least 480 games the exact length of the curtailed schedule hasn’t been determined bringing the total of lost regular-season games to a minimum 2,178 during three lockouts under Bettman. The agreement, which replaces the deal that expired Sept. 15, must be ratified by the 30 team owners and approximately 740

players. “Hopefully, within just a very few days, the fans can get back to watching people who are skating, and not the two of us,” Fehr said. Fehr became executive director of the NHL Players Association in December 2010 after leading baseball players through two strikes and a lockout. Players conceded early on in talks, which began in June, that they would accept a smaller percentage of revenue, and the negotiations were about how much lower. “It was a battle,” said Winnipeg Jets defenseman Ron Hainsey, a key member of the union’s bargaining team. “Players obviously would rather not have been here, but our focus now is to give the fans whatever it is 48 games, 50 games the most exciting season we can.”

More for college athletes: not if, but how MIAMI (AP) — After decades when paying college athletes was thought to violate the spirit of amateurism, the enormous television revenue generated by sports football and basketball in particular and the long hours of work by the players have changed the debate. The head of the NCAA now supports a stipend for athletes to cover costs beyond tuition, books and fees, and both coaches in Monday’s BCS championship between No. 1 Notre Dame and No. 2 Alabama spoke in support of the idea in the days before the game. The question is no longer whether to cut athletes a check, it’s how best to do that. “I still think the overriding factor here is that these young men put in so much time with being a student and then their responsibilities playing the sport, that they don’t have an opportunity to make any money at all,” Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said Sunday. “I want them to be college kids, and a stipend will continue to allow them to be college kids.” To get a sense of the landscape, look at the way things were when Notre Dame last won the national championship, in 1988. That season, Fighting Irish players earned scholarships worth about $10,000 per year and the school got $3 million for playing in the Fiesta Bowl to go with the revenue it made for TV appearances throughout the season. Even then, there was discussion about the disparity between benefits for the players and for the schools. This season’s Irish will get scholarships worth about $52,000 per year and the school will receive $6.2 million for playing in the title game to go with the $15 million NBC reportedly pays just to televise the school’s regular-season home games. While the value of that athletic scholarship has never been greater, the money being made by the schools that play big-time college football has skyrocketed, too. NCAA President Mark Emmert believes it is time for a change. While Emmert draws a clear distinction between the $2,000 stipend he has proposed and play-for-pay athletics, he unapologetically advocates for giving student-athletes a larger cut of a huge pie that is about to get even bigger. The NCAA’s current men’s basketball tournament agreement with CBS is worth an average of more than $770 million per year, and the current Bowl Championship Series television deal money that goes to conferences and then is distributed to schools, with no NCAA involvement is worth $180 million per year. The new college football playoff, which starts in the 2014 season, will be worth about $470 million annually to the conferences. Emmert chides athletic programs that make major decisions guided by efforts to generate more revenue, such as switching conferences, and then complain they can’t afford a stipend. “When the world believes it’s all a money grab, how can you say we can stick with the same scholarship model as 40 years ago?” he said last month. In October 2011, the NCAA’s Division I Board of Directors approved a rule change that would give colleges the option of providing athletes with a $2,000 stipend for expenses not covered by scholarships.

Mich. runs wild on Iowa Burke, No. 2 Wolverines put on clinic in 95-67 win ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Trey Burke rushed into the frontcourt, trying to take advantage of a 2on-1 break. At the last moment, he softly lobbed the ball toward the rim, where Glenn Robinson III slammed it through the hoop. That was the beginning of Michigan’s latest offensive clinic, a highlight reel of dunks, 3-pointers, smooth ball handling and smart passing that overwhelmed Iowa in a 95-67 rout Sunday. Burke had 19 points and a career-high 12 assists for the secondranked Wolverines. Robinson had 20 points and 10 rebounds. With 7:00 remaining in the first half, Michigan had only 17 points, making the eventual final score that much more startling. “We’ve been in a lot of games where 15 minutes into the first half, we might have had a double-digit lead,” coach John Beilein said. “We didn’t have that today. We closed well, and then we came out in the second half and really played good from the getgo.” Michigan (15-0, 2-0 Big Ten) is a win away from matching the program’s best start to a season. The 1985-86 team began 16-0. Devyn Marble scored 14 points for the Hawkeyes, who were holding opponents to 37 percent shooting before facing Michigan. The Wolverines shot 58 percent from the field and 10 of 22 from 3-point range. Tim Hardaway Jr. scored 19 points for Michigan. The Wolverines aren’t a team that tries to force the tempo, but they routed Northwestern 94-66 on Thursday and beat Iowa by the same margin. It was the fourth straight game in which Michigan made at least 10 shots from 3-point range. It was the third time in four games the Wolverines scored at least 90 points. They’ve never previously averaged more than 67 under Beilein. “We always thought, as we were trying to develop a coaching philosophy with my staff and I have a great staff that we wouldn’t change if we got more athletic,” Beilein said. “Some of these principles will still work, even if you did have better speed. … We’ve always run wherever I’ve been, but we run a little faster now, jump a little higher.” And score a little quicker. Iowa (11-4, 0-2) raced out to a 7-0 lead, and the Hawkeyes led 21-17 when Burke found Robinson for that alley-oop on the break. A 3-pointer by Hardaway gave Michigan a 26-23 lead, but Marble answered with a rare fourpoint play at the other end.

That stemmed the tide only momentarily. Freshman Mitch McGary blocked a shot for Michigan, leading to a transition layup by Burke and a 33-29 lead. Moments later, Hardaway threw down a one-handed dunk off a bounce pass from Burke to make it 42-35. Robinson finished the half by barely beating the buzzer for a layup that gave the Wolverines a 4635 advantage. Hardaway opened the second half with a 3-pointer. Freshman Nik Stauskas drove for a dunk and scored on a spin move. Hardaway made another 3-pointer and Iowa coach Fran McCaffery subbed a whole new team of five players into the game. It was 58-40 after Burke’s acrobatic bank shot, and at that point, Michigan had scored 41 points in under 11 minutes. “They have so many weapons. They’re hard to keep under control for long periods of time,” McCaffery said. “They’ve got you stretched out, both with John’s offense and with the fact that they have multiple 3-point shooters.” There was more to come another alley-oop dunk by Robinson from Burke and

Custody war ongoing for Belcher’s baby KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Tensions are building in a legal fight between maternal and paternal grandparents over who should get custody of an infant whose father, Kansas City Chiefs player Jovan Belcher, killed her mother before taking his own life. Four-month-old Zoey Michelle Belcher is with her mother’s family in Texas, according to a lawyer for Jovan Belcher’s mother, Cheryl Shepherd. Shepherd, of West Babylon, N.Y., had moved in with Jovan Belcher and his girlfriend, Kasandra Perkins, about two weeks before the Dec. 1 shootings and was in the Kansas City home when her son fired several shots into Perkins’ body. After that shooting, Belcher drove a few miles to Arrowhead Stadium, where he spoke with then-head coach Romeo Crennel and then-general manager Scott Pioli before walking behind a car and shooting himself in the head. Shepherd, Zoey’s paternal grandmother, was given custody of the girl soon after her parents’ deaths. She filed a petition in Jackson County probate court Dec.

14 asking to be appointed as Zoey’s guardian and conservator of her estate, which could be worth millions of dollars, The Kansas City Star reported. In an email to a probate commissioner, her lawyer, Gretchen M. Gold, disclosed that Zoey was no longer in Shepherd’s care. “Cheryl agreed to temporarily allow the maternal relatives (to) take Zoey to Texas for her mother’s funeral,” Gold wrote. “The maternal relatives have now ceased communicating with Cheryl Shepherd and have refused to return her calls or return the child to her care.” A probate commissioner has scheduled a Jan. 11 hearing in Independence to hear Shepherd’s petition seeking custody of Zoey, and a second petition seeking appointment as administrator of her son’s estate. Zoey’s maternal grandparents, Rebecca Anne Gonzalez and Darryl Perkins, and other Texas relatives have filed a lawsuit seeking temporary custody of the girl, that her residence be in Tarrant County, Texas, and that a guardian ad litem be appointed to represent her best interests.

KAPALUA, Hawaii (AP) — On the third attempt at starting the PGA Tour season, Matt Kuchar stepped to the 10th tee at Kapalua and could barely hear his name through the wind. When he finally steadied himself, a gust blew his golf ball off the tee. And then it happened again. “We had a powwow and took us five or six minutes to laugh it off and say, ‘We’re really going to go through with this?’” Kuchar said. “Made the best of it.” But not for long. Just more than one hour after the Tournament of Champions finally got under way, it was scrapped again with all the scores erased. Most golf tournaments end on Sunday. This one couldn’t even get started Sunday.

The wind came roaring down the Plantation Course at Kapalua again, and it left officials no choice but to stop play and try to start again. With more manageable wind in the forecast, the plan was to play 36 holes Monday and finish with 18 holes Tuesday. That was good news for Ben Curtis. He had birdie putts on the first two holes and was 5-over par. “It’s crazy. That’s the only way to describe it,” Curtis said. “I’ve never hit two greens in regulation at the start and walked away at 5 over. But hey. At least we had to try.” And they will try again. Rickie Fowler will hit the opening tee shot of the 2013 season on Monday for the third time this week. For those wondering why this tournament keeps get-

ting postponed, an hour of television Sunday was all the evidence they needed. Ian Poulter posed over his 4-iron shot to the 13th green and was so stunned to see it come up short that he looked at his small gallery for the longest time, repeating loud enough for them to hear that he was only 138 yards from the front of the green. Off to his right, Charlie Beljan had a search party stomping through high grass to the right of the 10th fairway looking for both his tee shots. He had a 15-foot putt for triple bogey when play was stopped. Moments later, a call came over the radio for a ruling on the 12th green. Scott Stallings was trying to tap in a 2-foot putt when a gust blew his ball 8 feet away. “We need to try to put

the show on,” Poulter said. “Hyundai spent a lot of money. We want to play. Fans want to see us play. TV wants to see us play. We’re backed into a corner. I don’t think they understand how windy it really is. Now they’ve seen it.” It was comical from the start, with Kuchar having to tee it up three times before he could hit, and removing his cap the rest of the way. Jonas Blixt had a 1-foot par putt on the 10th hole and took about two minutes. He had to wait as a cup and someone’s hat blew across the green. Blixt has played 10 holes over two days in these conditions in 1-under par. None of it counts, but the Swede learned one thing. “There’s no instruction book for this,” Blixt said. “You just go by instincts.”
