Gunman loose after fatal shooting

Survivors try to move forward

MOUNT RAINIER NATIONAL PARK, Washington (AP) — A Mount Rainier National Park ranger was fatally shot Sunday following a New Year’s Day traffic stop, and the 368-square-mile (853-square-kilometer) park in Washington state was closed as dozens of officers searched for the gunman over snowy and rugged terrain.

Authorities believed the gun-

man was still in the woods with an assault rifle. They asked people to stay away from the park, and for those already inside to leave, but Ed Troyer, a Pierce County Sheriff ’s spokesman, said there were about 100 people hunkered down in lodges and cabins on the mountain. They were asked to stay put because they could be in the line of fire.

Troyer also said it appeared

there were still visitors hiking on the mountain who could not be reached and were not aware of what was going on.

“We do have a very hot and dangerous situation,” he said.

The slain ranger was identified as 34-year-old Margaret Anderson.

At around 10:20 a.m. Sunday, another park service employee had tried to stop a man in his vehicle. He didn’t stop, so Anderson set

up a road block with her vehicle in the middle of the road, said park spokeswoman Lee Taylor. The man pulled up to Anderson about 11 a.m., jumped out, fired and ran off, she said.

Troyer said when authorities arrived they were also shot at, but no one else was hit. About 150 officers were on the mountain, but

Ron Barber’s nightmares wake him in the dead of night and he can still see it: The flash of a gun muzzle aimed at Rep. Gabrielle Giffords’ head.

“Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop,” went the gunman’s weapon, recalls Barber, who fell to the ground, shot in the cheek and thigh.

He saw the pool of blood around his body and Giffords breathing shallowly as she lay facing away from him. Then he looked into the eyes of colleague Gabe Zimmerman and knew the 30-year-old was

Flynn leads Packers to win Backup quarterback Matt Flynn threw a touchdown pass to Jermichael Finley with 1:10 left to finish off his record-setting day of 480 yards and six TD passes.

With Aaron Rodgers resting for the playoffs, Flynn set club single-game records for yards passing and touchdowns. It was an ideal afternoon for the Packers (15-1) who got to rest their starting quarterback and several other big-name players without losing momentum.

Flynn barely got the Packers past Matthew Stafford, who threw for 520 yards with five touchdowns and two interceptions.

Playoff-bound Detroit (10-6), has lost 21 straight road games to the Packers, including the postseason.

Erica and Kris Anderson pose for a photo with the new addition to their family, Kallie Renee. Kallie was born at 3:04 a.m., making her the first baby of 2012 for the greater Dayton Area. She weighed 8 pounds, 5 ounces and was 21 inches long.

New year, new addition Baby Anderson first baby of 2012

BY DAVID FONG Executive Editor fong@tdnpublishing.com Immediately upon the arrival of 2012, Erica Anderson knew something else would be arriving soon.

“At midnight, I joked about having a New Year’s baby. About a minute after the ball dropped; I had my first contraction,” Anderson said.

Three hours later, at 3:04 a.m.

Sunday, Erica and Kris Anderson’s daughter, Kallie Renee, arrived at Upper Valley Medical Center, making her the first baby born in Miami County.

According to nurses in UVMC’s maternity ward who made phone calls to area hospitals, Kallie Renee was the first baby born in the entire Greater Dayton area.

“After the first contraction, we

MIAMI COUNTY waited about an hour and came in here. By the time we got checked in and set up and ready to go, she was on her way,” Erica Anderson said.

Kallie Renee’s original due date was Dec. 26. When that day came and went, Erica was scheduled to be induced Tuesday. The Andersons had been hoping they might have a Christmas baby — but a family friend made the prediction they would have the first baby of 2012.

“Jon Apple actually predicted we would have a New Year’s baby,” Kris Anderson said. Anderson, a 1993 Piqua High School graduate, played on the Indians’ football special teams units and was coached by Apple, a former Piqua assistant coach, in high school. “True story. When we didn’t

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Rick Perry and Michele Bachmann plan to make their next — and possibly last — stands in South Carolina instead of chasing the rest of the GOP presidential pack to New Hampshire.

Neither candidate is a sure bet to survive past Tuesday’s leadoff Iowa caucuses. But both say they’ll jump ahead to the first Southern state to vote, a recognition that they have little hope of making up ground in the nine days before New Hampshire’s primary.

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is heavily favored in his neighboring state, but a few others are in pursuit.

Perry, the Texas governor, heads straight to Greenville, S.C. on Wednesday. Bachmann, a Minnesota congresswoman, will spend part of three days in that state beginning Wednesday, her campaign manager said.

The two campaigns could face pressure to fold if they don’t pull off surprising third-place-orbetter finishes in Iowa. In Bachmann’s case, the latest polling has her in last place among the six candidates campaigning hard.

For the last week, Bachmann has pushed back on daily questions about her ability to move on if she can’t climb out of the basement in Iowa, the state where she was born.

“Well, we’ve bought tickets to head off to South Carolina,” she said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.” She has a South Carolina staff of at least a dozen and backing from influential

Polhamus said the community’s support at home also has been tremendous.

“Troy is a very supportive community,” said Cherilyn Polhamus. “People are always asking about her, making sure she’s OK.” After a month of training in Denver, Colo., Polhamus landed in Bastrop, Texas, where she began work on her first of four long-term service projects on Nov. 14 — also her 20th birthday.

Until leaving for a holiday break Dec. 16, Polhamus volunteered in Bastrop, where wildfires, which started on Labor Day weekend, affected 1,714 homes and businesses in the area and claimed two lives. More than 700 homeowners reached out to AmeriCorps, which organize volunteer groups and provide vital information about resources to those in need, according to team leader Sharla Kachelhoffer.

More than 80 percent of Bastrop State Park — 34,356 acres — was lost, and Polhamus said she and

Amanda Polhamus makes calls to help the displaced families from the Bastrop, Texas, wildfires find needed resources to rebuild their lives. other volunteers spent the first several weeks sleeping in a tent at the entrance of the park — the only land not taken by the fires.

Polhamus said her team — made up of 12 members from 12 different states — worked as the volunteer reception center staging other volunteers, helping homeowners find needed resources such as food and furniture and even helped to clear debris.

And, just listen.

“I’ve talked to a lot of homeowners and let them vent about what has happened here,” said Polhamus,

tea party activists there.

Asked this weekend if he could conceive of a scenario where she drops out ahead of South Carolina, Bachmann campaign manager Keith Nahigian told The Associated Press, “Not at this point.”

Nahigian said Bachmann doesn’t intend to arrive in New Hampshire until Friday ahead of back-to-back weekend debates there.

Perry also plans to participate in those debates.

Bachmann has invested time in New little Hampshire in the six months she’s been in the race. In October, five fulltime staff members for her

who started a second-grade Little League football program in Troy and coached for two years to get the program up and running. “It’s very humbling, very rewarding.”

For Thanksgiving and Christmas, Polhamus said volunteers also delivered the fixings for entire meals to 40 families, including more than 200 people, affected by the wildfires.

Polhamus said her volunteer work so far has been an eye-opener.

“It gives a person a greater appreciation for what they have, knowing

people have less than you,” she said.

Kachelhoffer said Polhamus has been a big influence on her team of volunteers.

“This project (in Bastrop) has been amazing,” Kachelhoffer said. “She’s an amazing, compassionate person. There are not many 20 year olds like her.”

Today, Polhamus — who will meet back up with her team — leaves to prepare for her next assignment in Oklahoma City where they will help provide handicapped access to homeowner’s in need. She said they will build access ramps, handicapped stalls and widened doorways.

AmeriCorps NCCC members, all 18-24 years old, complete at least 1,700 hours of service during the 10-month program. In exchange for their service, they receive $5,550 to help pay for college.

Other benefits include a small living stipend, room and board, leadership development and team building skills.

Perry is also a footnote in most New Hampshire polls and hasn’t devoted much effort to the state lately.

Romney is far ahead of his rivals in New Hampshire. But former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman practically moved into a state where independents can vote, bypassing an Iowa contest where social conservatives tend to hold sway. Texas Rep. Ron Paul and Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich also plan to aggressively compete in New Hampshire.

“I think New Hampshire is a good place to start the debate for South Carolina,” Gingrich said Sunday.

• CONTINUED FROM A1 they had not made contact with the gunman and did not know where he was, Troyer said.

Authorities said earlier that Anderson’s body had been removed from the park, but Troyer said police have been unable to get to her.

Park superintendent Randy King said Anderson is a mother of two young daughters who had served as a park ranger for about four years. King said Anderson’s husband also was working as a ranger elsewhere in the park at the time of the shooting.

“It’s just a huge tragedy — for the family, the park and the park service,” he said.

Adam Norton, a neighbor of Anderson’s in the small town of Eatonville, Washington, said the ranger’s family moved in about a year ago.

He said they were not around much, but when they were Norton would see Anderson outside with her girls.

“They just seemed like the perfect fam-

ily,” he said.

The town of about 3,000 residents, which is a logging community overlooking Mount Rainier, is very close knit, he said.

“It’s really sad right now,” Norton said.

“We take care of each other.”

It has been legal for people to take loaded firearms into Mount Rainier since 2010, when a controversial federal law went into effect that made possession of firearms in national parks subject to state gun laws.

The shooting occurred on an unseasonably sunny and mild day. The park, which offers miles (kilometers) of wooded trails and spectacular vistas from which to see 14,410-foot (4,392-meter) Mount Rainier, draws between 1.5 million and 2 million visitors each year.

The Longmire station served as headquarters when the national park was established in 1899. Park headquarters have moved but the site still contains a museum, a hotel, restaurant and gift shop, which are open year-round.

FYI

For some in need, Facebook is route to new kidney SEATTLE (AP) — Here’s another reason for holdouts to join the social media site Facebook: It’s a great place to find a kidney.

Between the children’s photos and reminiscences about high school, more and more pleas for help from people with failing kidneys are popping up. Facebook and other social media sites are quickly becoming a go-to place to find a generous person with a kidney to spare, according to the people asking for help and some national organizations that facilitate matches.

Damon Brown found a kidney on Facebook after telling his story on a special page the Seattle dad created under the name, “Damon Kidney.”

His friends and family forwarded the link to everyone they knew and on Jan. 3 a woman his wife has known for years, but not someone they consider a close family friend, will be giving him a kidney.

“She said it wasn’t really for me. It was for my kids, because they deserve to have a dad around,” said Brown, 38.

Brown’s story is not unique, said April Paschke, a spokeswoman for the United Network for Organ Sharing, a private nonprofit organization that manages the nation’s organ transplant system for the federal government.

“We see more and more people matched up by social media,” she said.

“It’s an extension of the way we communicate. Before we found the Internet, people found other ways: through a church bulletin, word of mouth or an advertisement even.”

This past year, a man in Michigan also found a kidney donor through Facebook, and a Florida woman found one through Craigslist.

Damon Brown admits he was a little embarrassed to ask for help so publicly.

Except for telling close friends and family, the Seattle father of two young boys had been keeping his illness pretty quiet.

He was on the official transplant list and had started mobile dialysis through Northwest Kidney Centers but Brown was seeing his health deteriorate — he was constantly tired and achy. He couldn’t

“

”

sit on the bed to tell bedtime stories to 5year-old Julian and 3-year-old Theo because he had to stay close to his dialysis machine.

“I’m a strong guy, but I would have to say, it’s been rough this year,” he said.

Brown had put himself on the long wait list for a kidney from a deceased donor, knowing he would have to wait at least three years before he was called.

After one particularly difficult visit with his doctor, Damon and his wife, Bethany, decided to create the Facebook page, which has attracted more than 1,400 friends.

A few weeks ago, after the transplant was approved and scheduled, Brown posted the good news to his Facebook friends.

More than 300 people responded: “Whoo hoo….what a great Christmas present,” wrote Kelly L. Hallissey.

Many people are not aware that kidney and liver donations can now come from living donors.

In 2010, 16,800 kidney transplants were performed in the United States, of which 6,277 came from living donors, according to the United Network for Organ Sharing. An average of 46 kidney transplants take place each day in this country, while another 13 people who have been waiting for a kidney die each day.

About 90,000 are on the transplant list right now.

EDITORIAL

Iowa race leaves the GOP identity unclear DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The first round of voting in the Republican presidential contest may tell a lot about the power of negative TV ads, town-to-town campaigning and get-out-the-vote organizations.

Just don’t expect it to say much about the heart and soul of the Republican Party, a sprawling, contentious institution that has yet to decide what balance of libertarianism, pragmatism and social and fiscal conservatism should define it.

Months of televised debates and campaigning have left the party as splintered and ill-defined as when the primary season began. Final polls before Tuesday’s Iowa caucuses show a remarkably wide distribution of support among the six main candidates. There is no clear front-runner, and huge numbers of Iowa Republicans entered the weekend undecided.

From a strategic standpoint, the bunched grouping should help former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. He could benefit, and perhaps win with a modest plurality, if conservative activists split their votes about evenly among his rivals.

From a philosophical standpoint, however, Iowa may do little to reveal how much the GOP of 2012 will be shaped by tea party activists, anti-tax crusaders, military hawks, economic moderates and other competing forces.

Despite months of trying, Romney has been unable to build a large and passionate following. \ Yet among his competitors, none has been able to emerge as the main rival who can consolidate the anti-Romney sentiment that’s there for the taking.

A CNN/Time/ORC poll of Iowa Republicans shows that months of campaigning and torrents of TV ads have done little to resolve questions of policy and political philosophy.

Romney was in a virtual tie for the lead with libertarian-leaning Rep. Ron Paul of Texas. Former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania ran third.

Romney trailed Paul on the question of who most “agrees with you on the issues.” But Romney is overwhelmingly seen as the Republican with the best chance of defeating President Barack Obama next fall.

If anything unites Republicans, it’s their desire to oust Obama. It’s a powerful force. It may be enough, on its own, to determine the 2012 election.

But it won’t do much, by itself, to resolve GOP differences over matters such as how to cope with deficit spending. That issue triggered an embarrassing conflict this month between House and Senate Republicans over payroll tax legislation.

“Hating Obama is not a sufficient governing philosophy,” said John Feehery, a longtime Republican aide and strategist. Similarly, he said, “libertarianism, no matter how enticing, is not a governing philosophy.”

“The principle problem for conservatives is how do they reconcile their clear dislike for the government with their desire to actually run it,” Feehery said. President George W. Bush offered “compassionate conservatism,” he said, but it is “rejected by most conservatives. What is next?”

The early stages of the GOP primary campaign have not answered that.

Another poll of Iowa Republicans shows that important party factions are deeply divided. The NBC-Marist poll found that only 7 percent of Iowans likely to go to the caucuses believe Romney is the field’s true conservative.

Yet he was ahead, or essentially tied with Paul, on the front-runner question.

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Portland (Maine) Press Herald At the end of World War II, returning servicemen avoided a glutted labor market by going to college in unprecedented numbers and acquiring new skills. A few years later, the result was a cycle of sustained economic expansion and opportunity and the creation of a greatly expanded and durable middle class.

Something similar may be going on in the current labor market that promises a brighter future for economic growth, while still leaving policy makers plenty of causes for concern.

It started with the observation that November's drop in

unemployment was in part the result of a shrinking work force.

Economists initially attributed that to discouraged older workers who couldn't find a place in a changing economy.

But some digging indicates that the transition is also due to younger workers going back to school to acquire better skills. Like the GIs of the 1940s, this could provide some raw material for an extended economic boom.

There are some causes for concern, however.

Today's college student, unlike recipients of the GI Bill benefits, is likely to come back into the job market with significant debt. Students are oper-

ating under the belief that when they get done there will be jobs in their field that pay well enough to support them and their loans. If they are wrong, we could see a series of defaults like the home foreclosure crisis that would have broad effects throughout the economy.

And, according to research conducted by The New York Times, not everyone is taking advantage of this down period to update their skills.

Young women in their late teens and 20s are much more likely than their male counterparts to go back to school.

Young men won't be in position to benefit if there is increased demand for high-skill jobs.

DOONESBURY

Presidential candidates should take some advice The Iowa caucus officially kicks off the 2012 presidential campaign tomorrow.

The last time I looked, the polls said Mitt Romney was leading the Republican race in Iowa, with Ron Paul second, Rick Santorum third, Newt Gingrich fourth, Rick Perry fifth and Michelle Bachmann sixth. The telling part of the poll is that 41 percent of the people say they don’t know who they’re going to support even though the candidates have been virtually living in Iowa for weeks. If you live in Iowa and haven’t met a presidential candidate in the past few months, then you’ve either been hiding in your basement or living in a convent, and even that wouldn’t guarantee that you might not run into one of them some night trying to get the nun vote.

It’s a lot of fun to watch (at least, from a distance) and it seems to me Republicans eventually will come to their senses and settle on Romney because none of the rest of them has much chance of getting anyone outside of the party to vote for them, even if they will be running against a guy whose first term as

David Lindeman Troy Daily News Columnist president doesn’t exactly remind you of Franklin Roosevelt or George Washington. People are talking more in terms of Jimmy Carter, and we all know how that turned out.

It looks to me that the candidates from both parties will need some help generating any enthusiasm this year. So, as a public service I have gone back in time to dredge up some advice from a guy who hardly ever won elections and who was the target of extreme criticism during his time but who ended up turning out all right. His name was Abraham Lincoln. Here we go: “America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.” You could replace

“America” with “The Republican Party.” They’re running against a guy who has been a disappointment even to many of his followers, yet so far all the Republicans have been able to do is to make themselves look silly. As that famous philosopher Pogo said, “We have met the enemy, and he is us.”

“A friend is one who has the same enemies as you have” and “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” Republican candidates need to remember it’s all about Barack Obama, not about each other.

“Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.”

Note to Rick Perry: study more before debates. Or at least take some cheat sheets in with you.

“How many legs does a dog have if you call the tail a leg?

Four. Calling a tail a leg doesn't make it a leg.” Calling any politician a presidential candidate doesn’t make him (or her) one.

I’m not sure how many legs the Republican dog really has.

“I care not much for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.”

Some candidates can preach a

good sermon, but voters who think that is important would do better to look at how they live.

“It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt.” Note to Rick Perry – oh, wait, we already did that.

“Republicans are for both the man and the dollar, but in case of conflict the man before the dollar.” No offense, but I think too many Republicans have this turned around. And they’re not the only ones.

“What kills a skunk is the publicity it gives itself.” There’s a long line of dead skunk politicians on this list, including a few already this year. I suspect we will smell some more before it is all over.

“I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.”

I’d vote for person like that. Let me know if you find him.

New Year’s shooting leaves four dead CORONADO, California (AP) — An early morning New Year’s shooting has left four people dead at a condominium near San Diego, authorities said Sunday.

Police responded to an emergency call from a cellphone of shots fired in Coronado, a wealthy seaside suburb of about 24,000 people on San Diego Bay. Officers found a man in the doorway of the condo.

The bodies of two men and a woman were discovered inside the condo.

San Diego County sheriff ’s Lt. Larry Nesbit said homicide inves-

tigators have not determined how any of the four died, though Coronado police officers who were the first to arrive believe the man found in the doorway was shot.

“They checked and he had no obvious signs of life. They tried to make contact with anyone else that might be inside the building and they got no response,” Nesbit said.

A SWAT team sent in a robot to the first floor and later searched the second and third floors, Nesbit said. The three dead bodies were found in “different parts” of the three-story

building.

The Naval Criminal Investigative Service was on scene, “in case any of the victims were members of the military,” Nesbit said.

The victims’ identities hadn’t been confirmed.

Asked if the deaths are believed to be a murder-suicide, Nesbit said, “I’ll let it infer what it does. We’re not going to say that. Although it’s very early in the investigation, we don’t believe there are any outstanding suspects.”

Nesbit said the emergency call

was placed by a male passer-by who heard gunshots. Authorities received a search warrant Sunday afternoon to enter the three-story condo, which remained cordoned off.

The condo sits a few blocks from the famed Hotel del Coronado and a block from the main street, which is lined with boutiques and restaurants.

Coronado is home to Naval Air Station North Island and is a haven for Navy retirees.

Homicides are extremely rare in Coronado, which recorded one in 2010.

breathing and didn’t have a pulse but was revived when another passerby quickly performed CPR. “He took him from there and I just tried to get out of the way,” said Mullahkel, a father of a 4year-old himself.

“Emotions started taking over when he started to breathe. Everybody started to cheer. Lots of tears and clapping.”

Willden, 35 of Ogden, was warming up and wrapping up his bleeding forearms cut by the broken window when he heard cheers up the road.

“That was awesome,” he said. “I knew that’s where the little boy was.”

The boy and his sister were flown by air ambulance to Primary Children’s Medical Center in Salt Lake City.

Bonnie Midget, a hospital spokeswoman, said Sunday both are doing well after spending the night in intensive care.

They were taken out of intensive care Sunday but still in the hospital, listed in fair condition as they recover from hypothermia.

The father and the second girl escaped injury, authorities said.

Mullahkel said the scene reminded him of another heroic rescue in Logan earlier this year. In that case, bystanders lifted a burning car off an injured motorcyclist and pulled him to safety. The motorcyclist survived and is recovering from his injuries.

“It was eerily similar,” Mullahkel told the Deseret News.

“Those men in the river just even now blow my mind. Look at these gentlemen, these men in this river in the middle of winter.”

Willden said simply there was a mission to be accomplished. After all, he had slid into that icy river two years earlier — the only difference is his car didn’t flip.

He noted that both he and his father are both former military/civilian police officers, while his sister and mother are emergency medical technicians.

“It’s in our family to go out and help others,” he said.

Suspect charged in Texas airport explosives case MIDLAND, Texas (AP) — Authorities have charged a member of the U.S. military who was arrested after trying to go through a security checkpoint at a Texas airport with explosives in military-grade wrapping, the FBI said Sunday.

Trey Scott Atwater, 30, was stopped at security at the Midland International Airport about 9 a.m.

Saturday. FBI spokesman Mike Martinez said Atwater is being held at the Midland County jail and has been charged with trying to bring explosives onto an airplane.

He will remain in custody at least until his arraignment Tuesday, given that the courts are closed Monday for the holiday, Martinez said.

Atwater and his wife and family had been visiting relatives in the area and

were on their way back to his base in North Carolina, according to local media reports.

Public records searches list addresses for Atwater at Fort Bragg and indicate he continues to have relatives in Midland, though there was no answer at phone numbers given in both locations. He had a reservation on Flight 3283 operated by American Eagle, which had a scheduled departure of 9:45 a.m.

Saturday.

It’s unclear whether Atwater was in military uniform at the time he was detained, or how many explosives were in the bag.

City of Midland spokeswoman Tasa Watts said Saturday that she had no information on the suspect, but confirmed the explosives were in military-grade wrapping. She said the spe-

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Detectives in Los Angeles spent early Sunday analyzing security video camera footage and following up on other leads after a half dozen more vehicles were set on fire on New Year’s Eve, the latest rash of suspicious car fires in the city.

The outbreak of arson fires has left a trail of smoldering debris in Hollywood, West Hollywood, North Hollywood and the Fairfax district of Los Angeles since Thursday.

Authorities said they were investigating a total of 39 suspicious fires. Most of those fires were set in parked cars. In several cases, flames have jumped to carports and apartment units.

“They are working on hundreds of clues, interviewing dozens of witnesses, picking up countless pieces of evidence,” police Cmdr.

Andrew Smith said of the detectives.

Authorities haven’t said how the car fires were

cific grade wouldn’t be known until the explosives were tested.

The Transportation Security Administration issued a statement saying one of its officers spotted a suspicious item in a carryon bag during X-ray screening. The agency said the checkpoint was closed for about an hour while officers investigated and removed the item.

Watts said Atwater was entering a terminal when he was stopped, and a sweep was done to clear that terminal before normal operations resumed.

Court records show Atwater pleaded guilty in February 2002 in North Carolina to misdemeanor possession of a container of wine, liquor or beer by an unauthorized person, and to drinking beer/wine while driving.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — As many as 10 people jumped into an icy Utah river to help save three trapped children after a car plunged down a 10foot embankment and flipped over, the state’s Highway Patrol said Sunday.

The rescuers helped turn the Honda Accord upright in the Logan River, and one man shot out the car’s window with a handgun and cut a seat belt to help free the children after Saturday afternoon accident, patrol Lt. Steve Winward said.

The driver, Roger Andersen, 46, of Logan, lost control as he tried to brake while heading northbound on U.S. 89 during slick conditions.

His 9-year-old daughter and 4-year-old son were trapped along with a second 9-year-old girl.

“He was panicked, doing everything he could to get in through the doors, but they wouldn’t budge,” said rescuer Chris Willden, who had jumped into the water with his own father after coming upon the crash scene.

Willden, a Department of Defense contractor with a background in law enforcement, shot out one window with his Glock handgun after trying unsuccessfully to open windows and doors. As he reached upward searching for arms and legs, he felt nothing.

“I remember thinking to myself, ‘You’re going to see some dead kids, get ready,’” Willden said. “I’ve got three of my own and it was going to be (an awful) start to the New Year.”

That’s when he turned to see six or so other men scrambling down the bank into the water. Together they pushed up on the vehicle enough so they could see in through the windows.

One of the girls had found an air pocket and was breathing fine but was trapped in her seat belt.

Willden cut it with a folding pocket knife and pulled her from the rear passenger window.

He said the other two children were lifeless, the boy upside down in his car seat and the second girl floating in the front passenger compartment.

The boy was cut out of his car seat and pulled out with the other girl.

“I didn’t think they were going to be around for the New Year,” Willden said.

Other rescuers made sure they were.

Buzzy Mullahkel of North Logan told the Deseret News of Salt Lake City that the boy wasn’t

and Highland entertainment complex, a popular tourist destination and hotspot for holiday revelers.

Firefighters responded to a report of a small car fire in a parking structure that was out by the time they arrived.

Firefighters routinely are called to put out burning cars, but this recent spate has been unusual because of the frequency and location of the fires.

Crews have been responding to other emergencies despite the focus on solving the fire arsons, fire spokesman Erik Scott said.

Police urged residents to check their cars for any signs of tampering and take simple precautions such as locking their cars, keeping the garage lights on at night and reporting suspicious activity.

DEATHS OF INTEREST • Robert C. Carter HOPKINSVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A former newspaper publisher who was named last year to the University of Kentucky Journalism Hall of Fame has died.

Robert C. Carter died Saturday at his home in Hopkinsville after being diagnosed with cancer, the Kentucky New Era reported (http://bit.ly/w0ohzH). He began his career at the New Era in 1953 as an ad salesman and rose to the rank of publisher before he retired in 1997, the newspaper reported. He served on the newspaper’s board of directors until 2003.

Carter also served as president of the Kentucky Press Association, and “was instrumental” in getting the state to pass laws in the 1970s that made official records and meetings more accessible to the public, the newspaper said.

Survivors include his wife, Ann, and two daughters, Beth and Jini.

• Ricardo Legorreta MEXICO CITY — Mexican architect Ricardo Legorreta has died at the age of 80.

Legorreta’s best-known work is Mexico City’s Camino Real hotel, which was built in 1968. He also oversaw the remodeling of Los Angeles’ Pershing Square in 1993.

The hallmark of Legorreta’s work was the use of color. He placed a 10-story purple bell tower in the middle of Pershing Square and covered the Camino Real’s front exterior walls in pink and yellow.

Mexico’s Foreign Relations Department and National Arts Council said Legorreta died Friday, but did not give the cause of death.

Legorreta continued the tradition of architect Luis Barragan, who died in 1988.

Like Barragan, Legorreta used bright colors, massive solid walls, courtyards and geometric cutout windows to interact with Mexico’s abundant sunlight.

• John Buchanan SAN FRANCISCO — John Buchanan, whose term as director of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco saw a rise in both membership and attendance, has died. He was 58.

Buchanan died Friday after battling cancer, according to a news release on the museums’ website.

Buchanan became director of the Fine Arts Museums — comprised of the de Young Museum and Legion of Honor — in 2006.

During his six-year tenure, he brought such popular exhibits as “Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs” and “Yves St. Laurent” to the city.

Critics accused him of damaging the museums’ prestige by favoring spectacles imported from elsewhere over the projects and scholarship of the museums’ curators, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

But Buchanan embraced his populist tendencies.

“I’m a populist, and I’m not afraid to say it,” he told the Chronicle soon after accepting the director’s job in San Francisco.

Survivors try to move forward TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Ron Barber’s nightmares wake him in the dead of night and he can still see it: The flash of a gun muzzle aimed at Rep. Gabrielle Giffords’ head.

“Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop,” went the gunman’s weapon, recalls Barber, who fell to the ground, shot in the cheek and thigh.

He saw the pool of blood around his body and Giffords breathing shallowly as she lay facing away from him. Then he looked into the eyes of colleague Gabe Zimmerman and knew the 30-year-old was dead.

The shooter had moved methodically down a line of people, killing six people and wounding 13 before two men tackled him. The cold, bloody morning was one year ago on Jan. 8, a day that shattered many lives, shook the nation and changed the city of Tucson forever.

But to the bewilderment of those were weren’t personally affected by the tragedy, Barber and some of the others who were there that day either don’t feel any anger about the shooting or choose not to dwell on it. Instead, they’re trying their best to move forward.

They’ve bonded with each other in a way that only they fully understand, lobbied for legislation in hopes of preventing similar shootings and many of them have started nonprofits to bring some good from the tragedy.

Barber started the Fund for Civility, Respect and ®

In this Dec. 15, photo, Ron Barber, a staffer for Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, talks in Tucson, Ariz. Barber, along with other survivors of the Tucson shooting rampage and countless others, will come together in the close-knit southern Arizona city this Jan. 8, 2012, to commemorate the one-year mark of that tragic day and remember those who died.

Understanding, which targets bullying in schools and spreads awareness about mental illness in hopes of preventing a similar crime.

Accused shooter Jared Lee Loughner, 23, has bipolar disorder and showed signs of being disturbed for at least two years before the shooting.

Barber was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and has spent much of the past year trying to move forward from the shooting with his nonprofit and by undergoing extensive physical and emotional therapy. He also returned to work but only for half-days

because of fatigue.

He still walks with a cane and has been experiencing more flashbacks and nightmares. In some of them, he imagines different scenarios that could have played out, including if he had been able to trip the gunman or grab the weapon.

“But I’ve learned from counseling that you can manage how you respond to these dreams, flashbacks,” Barber said. “I don’t think you ever completely forget, but you can manage it.”

Pam Simon, another Giffords’ staffer who survived two gunshot wounds

to her chest and wrist, said the emotional journey is taking longer than she imagined. She has a fuzzier memory from that morning; some parts are dream-like, others crystal clear.

What stands out to her is the kindness of a stranger named Bob Pagano, who ran from inside the grocery store toward the gunshots that day and saw Simon face-down holding her chest.

Pagano put his sweater under Simon’s head and told her, “I’m not a medical person but I will stay with you. You won’t be alone.”

And Pagano did just that, trying to comfort her

give someone who shot you, and I wanted to talk to them about how powerful that experience is, to not carry anger and that baggage around with you,” she said.

Simon said she was still in the hospital when she decided to forgive. All she now feels for Loughner is “profound sadness” that he didn’t get treatment for bipolar disorder before it was too late.

“It’s absolutely pointless to weigh myself down with anger or hatred toward this young man,” she said.

Suzi Hileman has chosen to move past the anger.

She took her young friend and neighbor, 9-yearold Christina-Taylor Green, to meet Giffords that day so the bright young girl, who was interested in politics, could meet a real-life female politician. said that Hileman Christina planned to ask Giffords about pollution and the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf, and what the country could do about them. The girl, wearing sparkly tennis shoes, blue sapphire earrings, and skinny jeans, began “jumping up and down” when she spotted a photographer at Giffords’ event that day, overcome with excitement about getting their picture taken with the congresswoman, Hileman said.

by telling her that Giffords was still alive and that the gunman had been disarmed.

He rode in the ambulance to the hospital with her and explained to her husband what had happened.

“I look back on it and if I had no one giving me input, how much more terrifying that situation would be,” Simon said. “I think it actually says a beautiful thing about society, that even in that horrifying moment, regular citizens scrambled to help.”

Simon also is back at work, though part-time, and struggles most with Zimmerman’s death. One moment, Simon will be OK and then stumble across a reminder of Zimmerman and become overwhelmed with emotion, she said.

“The thing that I learned about grief is that it’s a slow and very jagged process,” she said. “You have to stop and pause and reflect, and what I’ve learned is that it’s OK, that’s part of the process, accepting and being open to those emotions.”

She said she knows there’s no quick fix but she’s found something positive to focus on. Simon visits high schools and talks to students about how she has forgiven Loughner.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Both parents need to put daughters in their places Dear Annie: My husband has twin 28-year-old daughters. They are hardworking and smart, and any parent would be proud of their achievements.

I began dating my husband five years after his divorce, and we married three years later.

However, when I was supposed to meet his daughters, they told him they would chase me away if I visited. The relationship went downhill from there. They threw my possessions into the backyard while we were not home, threatened to kill me, vandalized our house, tried to run me over, ambushed me with a bucket of water when I stepped out the door, were cruel to my dog and more.

We moved 2,000 miles away.

Now that our parents are getting old, we are thinking of moving back to our hometown to be near our families. But I don't know how to handle his daughters. They text, phone and email their dad, but never acknowledge my existence. We send birthday and Christmas presents from both of us. Their mother and I get along well, but she only chastises them by saying they are "exhibiting inappropriate behavior." They still live with her, and I think she is intimidated.

My husband owns a farm nearby and we have been trying to sell it, but the daughters use that property and chase all prospective buyers away. We have offered to sell it to them at a good price, but why should they buy it when they can use it for free? We can't afford two house payments.

My husband has no leverage with them. He won't do anything that could get them into legal trouble that may affect the rest of their lives. I don't know what to do. — Anguished in Oregon Dear Oregon: These spoiled brats have been out of control for years because they have two ineffectual, spineless parents, and there never have been any consequences for their behavior. Your husband can sell the farm by having a broker handle prospective buyers by appointment only. But make it clear to your husband that if they vandalize your home, threaten you or hurt your pets, you will call the police. And he should convey that message to his errant daughters.

Dear Annie: My sister "Rose" and I are as different as night and day. She also is 17 years older than I am.

I am now in my late 40s, and although Rose and I get along, there is one thing that causes me grief. Every time we speak, she feels the need to remind me of what a spoiled brat I was when I was a teenager. She's right. But I'm not that way any longer. She makes it clear that she still is not OK with this, so I've apologized for my teenaged self. Repeatedly. It hurts to know that she can't let it go.

I truly love my sister. My question is, should I confront Rose? If not, how do I deal with the continued belittling? — Little Sister in California Dear Sister: It might help to talk to Rose. Remind her that you are no longer a spoiled brat, and ask why she is having such a hard time forgiving your teenaged self.

Perhaps there is a reason she keeps bringing it up. If she cannot recognize her obsessive behavior or stop it, the best you can do is say, "Yes, Rose," and then change the subject.

Dear Annie: Here's my two cents about dogs' names. While visiting my daughter, her 4-yearold neighbor asked me, "What is your name?" When I replied, "Lucy," he said, "My friend has a dog named Lucy."

Unless you make up an original name for your pet, someone will have the same name. I discovered that Lucy is among the top names for dogs. I still laugh about it.

Lighten up, people. — Lucy in Shreveport, La. Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE

A list of ways to try using washing soda Dear Readers: Do you know what WASHING SODA is? Is it the same as baking soda? Nope, it is not! Washing soda (or sodium carbonate, soda ash or sodium crystals) is generally used as a laundry booster and a strong household cleaner.

Here are some other ways to use washing soda: Dissolve soap scum on tubs, sinks and tile by mixing a solution of 1/2 cup of washing soda and a gallon of warm water.

Scrub the entire area and rinse.

Remove grease from stovetops, and especially a dirty, grimy exhaust fan, by using the washing-soda solution men-

Hints from Heloise Columnist tioned above. Always be sure to wear gloves when working with washing soda.

Washing soda usually can be found near the laundry detergent. If you are unable to find it, try asking a store associate for help. — Heloise Visit my website, www.Heloise.com, for links to

my Facebook and Twitter pages — hints, fun facts and more!

Come see photos and check out what’s happening.

FAST FACTS Dear Readers: Recycling hints using 2-liter plastic bottles: • Cut off the bottom and use as a small planter.

• Cut and use the top as a funnel.

• Use to freeze water for a cooler.

• Use the bottom as a water or food bowl when traveling with pets.

— Heloise PACKAGE MAILING

Dear Heloise: I have children and grandchildren living in another state, so I often mail packages to them.

Recently, I discovered a neat trick for packing fragile items: 1. Partially fill a plastic shopping bag with the contents of a shredder.

2. Tie the bag, pressing the air out of it.

3. Now the bag easily can be crammed around, in and under the item (use as many bags as necessary to fill the box completely).

4. When the recipient opens the box, the confetti is contained and makes no mess.

ARLO AND JANIS

HOROSCOPE Monday, Jan. 2, 2012 In order to enhance your material base in the year ahead, you must be hardworking, prudent and practical over long periods of time. Conditions in general favor you when you’re willing to do your part, but there’s no room for wastefulness.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Anyone who is only interested in him or herself will annoy you far more than usual. Steer clear of just such a person, so that you don’t fly off the handle and look bad.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — The best way to ruin the family’s tranquility is to introduce a topic that is emotionally charged and sure to cause a kerfuffle. Keep your piquant little observations to yourself.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Before you jump in and support someone who looks like the underdog, be sure that you know what the situation is all about. There’s a chance that you could back an unworthy candidate.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Be your own person instead of risking your efforts and resources on what another thinks you should do. No one knows your affairs better than you do, so follow your own thinking.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Before judging or condemning another for his or her faults, you should be mindful of your own. If you’re tolerant of their imperfections, they’ll overlook yours.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You would do well to keep bystanders out of your private battles. Without realizing it, they could turn a merely abrasive situation into something far more destructive and volatile.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Even if you have to spend a little time with someone who rubs you the wrong way, make the most out of doing so. If you keep your cool, you’ll walk away undamaged.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Be particularly careful about your conduct when around someone whose respect is important to you. Being too blunt or erratic could severely impair your image.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — In order to get your points across to an individual who has rejected your ideas in the past, you need to know your subject well and be extremely prepared to make a presentation.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Make certain that those to whom you delegate an important assignment have the ability to successfully carry things off as needed. The wrong choice could set you back.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Normally you have little problem working in conjunction with another. However, it might be wise to avoid any type of entanglements at this juncture. Play it safe and operate on your own.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — That row you intend to hoe may be littered with far more rocks and potsherds than you anticipate. Unless you clean things up first, your path could be quite treacherous.

The arrivals capped a roundabout journey spanning 3 1/2 months and covering 2 1/2 million miles.

The moon has long been an object of fascination.

Galileo spotted mountains and craters when he peered at it through a telescope. Poets and songwriters looked to the moon as a muse.

Even governments wanted a piece of the moon. Since the dawn of the Space Age, more than 100 missions launched by the United States, Soviet Union, Japan, China and India have targeted Earth’s companion. NASA flew six Apollo missions that landed twelve men on the lunar surface and

Welcome to the neighborhood

brought back more than 800 pounds of rock and soil samples.

Despite all the attention, the moon remains mysterious. Mission chief scientist Maria Zuber of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology said researchers know more about Mars, which is farther away from the Earth, than the moon.

One of the enduring puzzles is its lopsided shape with the far side more hilly than the side that Earth sees. Research published earlier this year suggested that our planet once had two moons that crashed early in the solar system’s history and created the moon that graces

the sky today.

Scientists expect to learn more about how the celestial body formed using Grail’s gravity measurements that will indicate what’s below the surface.

Since the washing machine-size Grail probes — short for Gravity Recovery And Interior Laboratory — were squeezed on a small rocket to save on costs, it lengthened the trip and took them 30 times longer to reach the moon than the Apollo astronauts, who took a direct three-day flight.

Previous spacecraft have attempted to study the moon’s gravity —

about one-sixth Earth’s pull — with mixed success.

Grail was expected to give scientists the most detailed maps of the moon’s uneven gravitational field and insight into its interior down to the core.

Data collection won’t begin until March after the near-identical spacecraft refine their positions and are circling just 34 miles above the surface.

While scientists focus on gravity, middle school students will get the chance to take their own pictures of the moon using cameras aboard the probes as part of a project headed by Sally Ride, the first American woman in space.

makers.

“It’s a really good feeling to have not one but two of our twins in orbit,” projmanager David ect Lehman said Sunday after the mission was deemed successful.

The action began on New Year’s Eve when Grail-A swung over the south pole, fired its engine and braked into orbit around the moon. Not to be outdone, its twin Grail-B executed the same maneuvers on New Year’s Day.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — NASA kicked off the new year with a pair of probes circling the moon in the latest mission to understand how Earth’s closest neighbor formed.

There was no champagne popping in the mission control room at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory when the Grail spacecraft arrived back-toback over the New Year’s weekend, but several scientists and engineers celebrated by blowing noise-

Snow Fun Facts

Winter Storm Safety Tips BEFORE A WINTER STORM: Have a disaster plan and prepare a disaster supplies kit for your home and car. Include a first aid kit, canned food and a can opener, bottled water, battery-operated radio, flashlight, protective clothing, and blankets.

Don't forget, be aware of changing weather.

DURING A WINTER STORM: Stay indoors and dress warmly. Eat regularly, because food provides the body with energy for producing its own heat. Also, drink lots of water. If you must go outside, wear layered clothing, mittens and a hat. Watch for signs of hypothermia and frostbite.

Graphic Designer: Scarlett Smith

• Have you ever heard that no two snowflakes have the same shape? If you have, have you ever wondered how that can be with the billions of snowflakes that fall each year? Well, there have been 2 snowflakes found that were identical. If someone says that phrase again, you can tell them the truth!

• Snowflakes start as ice crystals that are the size of a speck of dust. When the crystals fall they join up with other crystals to form a snowflake. The size of the snowflake depends on how many crystals hook together. Snowflakes usually have six sides.

Here are the different kinds of snowflake shapes.

• Guess what, it can get cold enough that it doesn't snow!

Because snow is frozen water, if there are not enough water droplets in the air it can't snow.

• You probably know that it snows when water is lifted into the sky from rivers, lakes, and oceans as water vapor. You can not see water vapor but it is there. There is enough in the air to cover the earth with 3 feet of water. The warmer the air the more water vapor there is.

• You can make your own cloud by breathing in cold weather. Or, try breathing on a mirror; there will be a clear gray cloud on it!

• For it to snow the tops of the clouds must be below 0 degrees Celsius, or 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

• Snow can come from any cloud that is layered.

• Sometimes the snow can be feet deep in one place while it is bare in another because the wind has blown all the snow off that spot.

• As snow falls snowflakes connect to make bigger snowflakes.

• Snow at the North and South Pole reflect heat into space. That happens because the ice acts like a mirror with the heat of the sun, and the heat bounces off the ice and into space.

Remember to keep dry. Always change wet clothing to prevent the loss of body heat. If you must drive, carry a cell phone. Always, keep the gas tank full. Don't forget, let someone know where you’re going, just in case your car gets stuck. If you’re car gets stuck, stay with it and wait for help unless help is visible within 100 yards. Use maps and car mats to stay warm.

AFTER A WINTER STORM: Avoid driving until conditions have improved. Avoid overexertion! Heart attacks from shoveling snow are the leading cause of deaths during the winter. Also, check on neighbors to make sure they're okay.

Did You Know?

KNOW THE LINGO WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES — Issued for accumulations of snow, freezing rain, freezing drizzle, and sleet, which will cause significant inconveniences and, if caution is not exercised, could lead to life-threatening situations.

Snow How do winter storms form?

Winter storms derive their energy from the clash of two air masses of different temperatures and moisture levels. Winter storms usually form when an air mass of cold, dry, Canadian air moves south and interacts with a warm, moist air mass moving north from the Gulf of Mexico.

The point where these two air masses meet is called a front. If cold air advances and pushes away the warm air, it forms a cold front. When warm air advances, it rides up over the denser, cold air mass to form a warm front. If neither air mass advances, it forms a stationary front.

How is snow formed?

Snow is commonly formed when water vapor undergoes deposition, which is when water vapor changes directly to ice without first becoming a liquid, high in the atmosphere at a temperature of less than 32°F and then falls to the ground.

How do blizzards form?

A blizzard is a long-lasting snowstorm with very strong winds and intense snowfall. You need three things to have a bliz-

zard; cold air at the surface, lots of moisture, and lift. Warm air must rise over cold air.

Blizzards can strand cars on highways for hours or even days. When you are traveling during the winter months, be sure to have emergency kits in the vehicle with you.

What are snowflakes?

Snowflakes are made of ice crystals. Each snowflake is sixsided and made of as many as 200 ice crystals. Snowflakes form in clouds where the temperature

WINTER STORM WATCH — Alerts the public to the possibility of a blizzard, heavy snow, heavy freezing rain, or heavy sleet. Winter Storm Watches are usually issued 12 to 48 hours before the beginning of a winter storm.

WINTER STORM WARNING — Issued when hazardous winter weather in the form of heavy snow, heavy freezing rain, or heavy sleet is occurring. Winter Storm Warnings are usually issued 12 to 24 hours before the event is expected.

BLIZZARD WARNING — Issued for sustained or gusty winds of 35 mph or more, and falling or blowing snow creating visibilities at or below 1/4 mile. These conditions should persist for 3 hours. is below freezing. The ice crystals form around tiny bits of dirt that has been carried up into the atmosphere by the wind. As the snow crystals grow, they become heavier and fall toward the ground.

WHY IS SNOW WHITE? Bright snow blinds us with its gleaming white color because it reflects beams of white light. Instead of absorbing light, snow's complex structure prevents the light from shining through its lattice formation. A beam of white sunlight entering a snow bank is so quickly scattered by a zillion ice crystals and air pockets that most of the light comes bouncing right back out of the snow bank. What little sunlight is absorbed by snow is absorbed equally over the wavelengths of visible light thus giving snow its white appearance.

So while many natural objects get their blue, red, and yellow colors from absorbing light, snow is stuck with its white color because it reflects light.

FROST/FREEZE WARNING — Issued when below freezing temperatures are expected.

LAKE EFFECT SNOW ADVISORY — Issued when accumulation of lake effect snow will cause significant inconvenience.

LAKE EFFECT SNOW WARNING — Issued when heavy lake effect snow is occurring.

WIND CHILL ADVISORY — Issued when the wind chill temperature is forecast to be between -15°F to 24°F. WIND CHILL WARNING — Issued when the wind chill temperature is forecast to be -25°F or lower.

moisture — condensed or diffused liquid, esp. water

ZRABSDLIZ Melting Snow MATERIALS: • a glass cup • thermometer • snow PROCESS: • Fill the glass up with snow.

• Place the thermometer in the glass filled with snow and take the temperature.

• Write down the temperature on a piece of paper.

• Bring the glass inside and wait for about 5 minutes until the snow melts.

• Now, take the temperature again. What happened?

EXPLANATION: The temperature of the snow was much colder than the temperature of the melted snow or water. Water freezes at 32 degrees. When the glass of snow was brought inside, the temperature indoors was much warmer than 32 degrees and melted the snow. This is how the melting process works!

■ National Football League

Bengals Gresham after a catch, jarring the ball loose. Three plays later, Rice went 51 yards to put the Ravens on the verge of a title.

Suggs sacked Dalton, forcing the Bengals to settle for a field goal on their next possession. Cincinnati got the ball back at its 20 with 1:05 to go and no timeouts left. The game ended with Dalton’s desperation pass into the end zone.

“This feels good,” Suggs said. “You just have to take it in.”

During that final, futile drive, the Broncos’ score was shown on the videoboard, drawing a loud cheer from the crowd of

■ CONTINUED FROM 16 packed with Bengals fans for the first time all season, Rice made the biggest plays on a blustery afternoon that made it tough to throw. He had a career-best 70-yard touchdown run on the fourth play.

Rice also broke a 51yard touchdown run on a third-and-1 play with 5:41 to go, essentially finishing Cincinnati’s chances of yet another big comeback. Rice finished with 191 yards on 24 carries and set a club record with his 15th touchdown of the season.

Baltimore’s defense had a big hand in it, too.

63,439. The Bengals sold out their stadium by offering two-for-one ticket deals.

Ravens players raised their arms in triumph as they ran off the field after Dalton’s final pass. They made home-field advantage for the playoffs an overriding goal after having to play on the road each of their last three years in the postseason.

It was sweet to get it.

“I’ll leave the eloquence up to you guys, but we all felt it in the pit of our stomach,” coach John Harbaugh said.

Wind gusts of over 30 mph toyed with long passes and kicks, forcing teams to go conservative.

The

Ravens got the better of it behind their multifaceted running back.

Rice found a huge hole behind Marshal Yanda’s block and outran Cincinnati’s secondary only 2 minutes into the game.

Cincinnati’s defense got sloppy and helped the Ravens drive for a touchdown and a 17-3 lead at the half. Penalties for holding, illegal contact and a high hit moved the ball to the Cincinnati 9-yard line with 19 seconds left. The Ravens used their final timeout to set up Joe Flacco’s touchdown pass to Pitta in the far corner of the end zone.

Flacco went 15 of 19 for 130 yards without an inter-

ception.

The Bengals stayed in playoff contention by pulling off comebacks, overcoming double-digit deficits in the second half three times. They put themselves in position for another one when Bernard Scott broke a 25-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter.

Mike Nugent’s 46-yard field goal cut it to 17-13 early in the fourth quarter, but that was all they managed.

The Bengals reached the playoffs despite losing all seven of their games against playoff contenders this season. They lost five of their last eight games, but got the wild card with

the help of the Jets’ lateseason collapse.

Notes: The Ravens also won the division in 2003 and 2006. … Rice joined Hall of Famer Marshall Faulk as the only players with 1,000 yards rushing and 700 receiving in more than one season. … Suggs has a career-high 14 sacks, one shy of Peter Boulware’s club record from 2001. …

Ricky Williams carried six times for 28 yards and became the 26th player in NFL history to run for 10,000 career. … K Billy Cundiff was back after missing one game with a sore left calf. He made a 42yard field goal into the wind.

Flynn leads Packers to win Broncos lose, still win AFC West crown

Cincinnati’s Cashmere Wright, right, grabs Pittsburgh’s John Johnson as they both go for a loose ball in the first half Sunday in Pittsburgh.

Cincinnati edges No. 22 Pitt, 66-63 PITTSBURGH (AP) — JaQuon Parker scored a career-high 21 points and Sean Kilpatrick added 19 for streaking Cincinnati.

The Bearcats (11-3, 10 Big East) have won six straight games since a brawl against crosstown rival Xavier last month led to the suspension of several players, including star forward Yancy Gates.

Cincinnati forced the reeling Panthers (11-4, 02) into 17 turnovers to win at Pitt for the first time in 33 years.

Cincinnati went 11 of 27 from 3-point range.

NO. 1 SYRA. 87, DEPAUL 68 ROSEMONT, Ill. — Kris Joseph scored 22 points and No. 1 Syracuse used its defense and depth to rout DePaul 8768 on Sunday, the unbeaten Orange’s 15th straight victory.

C.J. Fair added 16 points, Dion Waiters had 13 and Fab Melo scored 12 points to go with six blocks for the Orange (15-

0, 2-0 Big East).

NO. 5 UNC 102, MONMOUTH 65 CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — John Henson scored 21 points and North Carolina won its seventh straight overall and 26th straight at the Smith Center.

NO. 7 DUKE 85, PENNSYLVANIA 55 DURHAM, N.C. — Ryan Kelly had 18 points and 12 rebounds to lead Duke.

NO. 14 MARQ. 81, VILLANOVA 77 MILWAUKEE — Darius Johnson-Odom matched a season-high with 24 points to lead Marquette.

NO. 18 MICH. 61, MINNESOTA 56 ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Freshman Trey Burke scored a season-high 27 points and Michigan won its seventh straight.

The Wolverines (12-2, 2-0 Big Ten) haven’t lost since falling to Virginia in the ACC/Big Ten Classic.

Browns ■ CONTINUED FROM 16 his way to the bench. He didn’t return.

The Steelers survived two fumbles by Redman in the second half and then held their breath on the final play when Browns quarterback Seneca Wallace floated a pass into a crowd in the back of the end zone. Pittsburgh safety Troy Polamalu came over the top and got his hand on

the ball before rookie wide receiver Greg Little could grab it, allowing the Steelers to escape.

The Browns (4-12) lost their last six games and nine of 10 under first-year coach Pat Shurmur.

Cleveland was competitive the Browns lost their final three games by a combined 13 points but wound up with one less win that last season.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Backup quarterback Matt Flynn threw a touchdown pass to Jermichael Finley with 1:10 left to finish off his record-setting day of 480 yards and six TD passes.

With Aaron Rodgers resting for the playoffs, Flynn set club single-game records for yards passing and touchdowns. It was an ideal afternoon for the Packers (15-1) who got to rest their starting quarterback and several other bigname players without losing momentum.

Flynn barely got the Packers past Matthew Stafford, who threw for 520 yards with five touchdowns and two interceptions.

Playoff-bound Detroit (106), has lost 21 straight road games to the Packers, including the postseason.

Piqua graduate Brandon Saine had eight carries for 28 yards, to go along with three catches for 17 yards for the Packers.

CHIEFS 7, BRONCOS 3 DENVER — Tim Tebow fell short in his latest comeback bid, yet his Denver Broncos are still going to the playoffs.

Former Bronco Kyle Orton got his revenge in leading the Kansas City Chiefs to a 7-3 win over Denver on Sunday, but it’s the Broncos who clinched the AFC West and is headed to the postseason.

After congratulating their former starting quarterback, the Broncos celebrated the end to their sixyear playoff drought once San Diego beat Oakland 3826 later Sunday.

CHARGERS 38, RAIDERS 26 OAKLAND, Calif. — Philip Rivers threw three touchdown passes and Richard Goodman returned a kickoff 105 yards for another score as Oakland’s playoff hopes ended.

The Raiders (8-8) went into the final day of the season needing to win and get help to end an eight-year playoff drought. They got the assistance they needed when Denver (8-8) lost 7-3 at home to Kansas City but were unable to do their part by beating the Chargers (88). The Broncos won the division based on record

versus common opponents.

PATRIOTS 49, BILLS 21 FOXBOROUGH, Mass.

— Tom Brady led the Patriots back from a threetouchdown deficit as they scored 49 straight points and clinched home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs.

Brady finished the regular season with the second most yards passing in NFL history, 5,235, after throwing for 338. Drew Brees, who last week broke Dan Marino’s record of 5,084 with the Miami Dolphins in 1984, added 389 Sunday for the New Orleans Saints and ended with 5,486.

JAGUARS 19, COLTS 13 JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Indianapolis locked up the top pick in April’s NFL draft, setting the stage to select Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck.

Maurice Jones-Drew ran for a season-high 169 yards, clinching the NFL rushing title and breaking Fred Taylor’s single-season franchise record in the Jaguars’ victory.

TITANS 23, TEXANS 22 HOUSTON — Matt Hasselbeck threw two touchdown passes and the Titans kept alive their playoff hopes.

The Titans (9-7) have their first winning record since 2008 in Mike Munchak’s first season, but their postseason fate

depended on the outcome of later games in Cincinnati, Oakland and Denver.

Tennessee got some early help when the Jets lost in Miami.

DOLPHINS 19, JETS 17 MIAMI — Mark Sanchez threw three interceptions and the Jets were eliminated from the AFC wild-card playoff race.

Each turnover led to a field goal, and the Jets gave up six third-down conversions during the Dolphins’ 21-play, 94-yard drive for their only touchdown.

SAINTS 45, PANTHERS 17 NEW ORLEANS — Drew Brees threw for 389 yards and five touchdowns, and New Orleans set a slew of NFL and club records.

The NFL single-season records set by the Saints (13-3), who head into the playoffs on an eight-game winning streak, included offensive yards with 7,474, team yards passing with 5,347 and first downs with 416.

CARDINALS 23, SEAHAWKS 20, OT GLENDALE, Ariz. — Larry Fitzgerald’s spectacular one-handed grab set help up a 28-yard field goal

by Jay Feely to give Arizona its fourth overtime victory at home in the last nine weeks of the season.

Arizona (8-8) finished the season 7-2 after a sixgame losing streak left it 16. Seattle (7-9) had rallied

to tie the game after trailing 20-10 early in the fourth quarter. .BEARS 17, VIKINGS 13 MINNEAPOLIS — Charles Tillman’s interception return in the second quarter gave Chicago (8-8) the lead for good, and the Bears stopped their fivegame losing streak despite 3½ sacks by Jared Allen.

Allen finished the season with 22 sacks, behind Michael Strahan’s NFL mark of 22½ for the Giants in 2001.

EAGLES 34, REDSKINS 10 PHILADELPHIA — Michael Vick threw three touchdown passes, including a 62-yarder to DeSean Jackson, as the Eagles closed the season with four straight wins.

49ERS 34, RAMS 27 ST. LOUIS — Michael Crabtree caught two touchdown passes, one from kicker David Akers on a perfectly executed trick play, and San Francisco wrapped up the No. 2 playoff seed in the NFC and a first-round bye.

FALCONS 42, BUCCANEERS 24 Julio Jones caught two touchdown passes in a span of 26 seconds, Michael Turner ran for two scores and Atlanta put up a teamrecord 42 first-half points to cruise to a 45-24 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday to clinch the No. 5 seed in the NFC playoffs.

consecutive wins against Illinois and Wisconsin in October. But the Buckeyes dropped their last three games against Purdue, Penn State and Michigan.

Braxton Miller was a bright spot in the losing streak. The freshman quarterback had 248 yards rushing and 450 yards passing in the three tight games.

“The Braxton I have under center now opposed to the Braxton I had at the beginning of the season is night and day,” Brewster said. “He’s grown so much and he’s so much more confi-

dent now. He’s really just a different player. With bowl practice, I’m anxious to see how much more he’s grown and how things go.

“He just has a much better grasp on the big picture.

He’s come such a long ways this season, and I think that’s pretty impressive.”

The Gators have shown little improvement under Muschamp.

The offense sputtered under coordinator Charlie Weis, who left last month to take the head coaching job at Kansas, and the defense was pushed around by the

Southeastern Conference’s top teams. Put those together and Florida lost six of its last eight games and needed to rally to beat lower-division Furman.

The Gators finished below .500 in SEC play for the first time since 1986, and following the regularseason finale against Florida State, Muschamp called his team physically and mentally soft.

“I think we’ve made some strides, but we’ve got to build our numbers back on both lines of scrimmage,” Muschamp said. “That’s

what’s going to help us the most.”

Throw out a 453-yard, 54-point performance against Furman, and Florida has averaged 244 yards and 13 points in its last seven games. Senior quarterback John Brantley has been banged up, running backs Chris Rainey and Jeff Demps have been mostly bottled up, and the Gators have found few consistent playmakers at receiver.

The result has them facing a losing season just like the Buckeyes.

Gator Bowl ■ CONTINUED FROM 16 2010 season, and spent most of the year working as an ESPN analyst before taking the head coaching job at Ohio State. He stayed away from the Gator Bowl and his former and future teams this week, instead concentrating on his first recruiting class.

Meyer will officially take over next week, tasked with leading the Buckeyes through NCAA probation.

The NCAA hit Ohio State with a one-year bowl ban and additional penalties last month for violations

stemming from players who exchanged jerseys, rings and other Buckeyes memorabilia for cash and tattoos. The violations cost coach Jim Tressel his job, and the Buckeyes turned things over to interim coach Luke Fickell.

“It was a growing process for all of us,” said Fickell, one of several assistants who will remain at OSU under Meyer. “We’ve talked about it; we’ve said it a million times: change is inevitable; growth is optional.”

Fickell seemed to have Ohio State on track after
