NRA seeks block of gun ban WASHINGTON (AP) — The powerful gun lobby is gauging enough support in Congress to block a law that would ban assault weapons, despite promises from the White House and senior lawmakers to make such a measure a reality. Senators plan to introduce a bill that would ban assault weapons and limit the size of ammunition magazines, like the

tragedy has transformed the country, and Americans are ready for stricter gun laws. President Barack Obama has made gun control a top priority. And on Tuesday Vice President Joe Biden is expected to give Obama a comprehensive package of recommendations for curbing gun violence. Still, the NRA has faith that Congress would prevent a new weapons ban.

Eugene Patterson, a Pulitzer Prize-winning editor and columnist whose impassioned words helped draw national attention to the civil rights movement as it unfolded across the South, has died at 89.

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Gary Studebaker had been working in the special education field for nearly a decade before his daughter, Ramona, was born. In the first few years of her life, Studebaker and his wife Susan began to notice Ramona wasn’t developing in the same way as other children her age. She was showing many of the same signs as the children Studebaker had dedicated his life to working with. Soon after, Ramona — now 34 — was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. “I got into special education before Ramona came down the line,” said Studebaker, a West Milton native who now lives in California and has written a poetry book — “Autism Spectrum Realities” — about his life with his daughter and her disorder. “I think God put me in the right place and somehow knew the tools I would need to be able to deal with the situation. I had been in special education for eight or nine years before Ramona was born.” When Ramona was diagnosed with ASD 31 years ago, little was known about the disorder. Much has changed since then, as the disability now affects one out of every 110 children born in the United States. There have been tremendous strides made in the treatment of autism — and Studebaker has had a hand in that. After graduating from MiltonUnion High School in 1959, Studebaker received his undergraduate degree from Manchester College (now Manchester University) in 1963. He spent two years doing volunteer work in Laos before returning to the United States and spending 34 years teaching in California, working in special education and with children on the autism spectrum. He’s later went on to work as a special education adjunct instructor at National University. He was an administrator, program specialist and academic coach to special education teachers in the

CAIRO (AP) — An Egyptian appeals court on Sunday overturned Hosni Mubarak’s life sentence and ordered a retrial of the ousted leader in the killing of hundreds of protesters, a ruling likely to further unsettle a nation still reeling from political turmoil and complicate the struggle of his Islamist successor to assert his authority. The court’s decision put the spotlight back on the highly divisive issue of justice for Mubarak and his top security officers, who were also ordered retried, two years after the revolution that toppled him. The ruling poses a distraction for President Mohammed Morsi as he tries to restore law and order, grapple with a wrecked economy and deal with the aftermath of the worst political crisis since Mubarak’s ouster.

Affleck wins best-director Golden Globe

LOTTERY CLEVELAND (AP) — Here are the winning numbers drawn Sunday by the Ohio Lottery: • Pick 5 Midday: 0-7-5-0-0 • Pick 4 Midday: 7-3-9-1 • Pick 3 Midday: 4-0-6 • Pick 3 Evening: 2-1-4 • Pick 4 Evening: 1-0-6-3 • Pick 5 Evening: 0-5-2-7-0 • Rolling Cash 5: 12-14-2425-38 Estimated jackpot: $278,000

Editor’s note: Complete results from the Golden Globes were not available by the TDN’s press deadline Sunday night. BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Ben Affleck won the best-director Golden Globe on Sunday for his Iran hostage thriller “Argo,” a prize that normally bodes well for an Academy Award win except he missed out on an Oscar nomination this time. Affleck’s now in an unusual position during Hollywood’s long awards season, taking home the top filmmaking trophy at the second-highest film honors knowing he does not have a shot at an Oscar. In a breathless, rapid-fire speech, Affleck gushed over the names of other nominees presenter Halle Berry had read off: Steven Spielberg for “Lincoln,” Ang Lee for “Life of Pi,” Kathryn Bigelow for “Zero Dark Thirty” and Quentin Tarantino for “Django Unchained.” “Look, I don’t care what the award is. When they put your name next to the names she just read off, it’s an extraordinary thing in your life,” Affleck said. Last Thursday’s Oscar nominations held some shockers, including the omission of Affleck from the directing lineup, along with fellow Globe nominee Bigelow. Bigelow and Affleck also were nominated for top honors by the Directors Guild of America, whose contenders usually match up closely with the Oscar field. Jennifer Lawrence won for best musical or comedy actress for the oddball romance “Silver Linings Playbook,” while supporting-acting prizes went to Christoph Waltz for the slave-revenge tale “Django Unchained” and Anne Hathaway for the musical “Les Miserables.” The wins Sunday firm up their prospects for Hollywood’s top honors at the Feb. 24 Academy Awards. Former President Bill Clinton upstaged Hollywood’s elite with a surprise appearance to introduce Spielberg’s Civil War epic “Lincoln,” which was up for best drama. The film chronicles Abraham Lincoln’s final months as he tries to end the war and find common ground in a divided Congress to pass the 13th

Amendment abolishing slavery. Lincoln’s effort was “forged in a cauldron of both principle and compromise,” Clinton said. “This brilliant film shows us how he did it and gives us hope that we can do it again.” Amy Poehler, co-host of the Globes with Tina Fey, gushed afterward, “Wow, what an exciting special guest! That was Hillary Clinton’s husband!” Lawrence won as best actress in a musical or comedy for her role as a troubled widow in a shaky new relationship. The Globe winners in musical or comedy categories often aren’t factors at the Oscars, which tend to favor heavier dramatic roles. But “Silver Linings Playbook” is a crowd-pleasing comic drama with deeper themes than the usual comedy. And Lawrence a 2010 Oscar nominee for her breakout film “Winter’s Bone” who shot to superstardom with “The Hunger Games” delivers a nice mix of humor and melancholy. “What does this say? I beat Meryl,” Lawrence joked as she looked at her award, referring to fellow nominee and multiple Globe winner Meryl Streep. Lawrence went on to thank her mother for believing in her and her father for making her maintain a sense of humor. Hathaway’s win came for her role as a doomed single mother in the big-screen adaptation of the stage musical based on Victor Hugo’s classic novel. “Thank you for this lovely blunt object that I will forevermore use as a weapon against self-doubt,” Hathaway said. Waltz won supporting actor for his role as a genteel bounty hunter who takes on an ex-slave as

Keene told CNN’s “State of the Union.” Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., responded with a flat out “no” when asked on CBS’ “Face the Nation” whether Congress would pass a ban on assault weapons.

No date has been set for the retrial, but attention is sure to dramatically pick up when it begins and Egyptians again watch fascinated by the sight of their country’s one-time strongman behind bars in the defendants’ cage. If convicted, Mubarak could face a life sentence or have it reduced. He could also be acquitted. Under Egyptian law, a defendant cannot face a harsher sentence in a retrial, meaning the former leader cannot face the death penalty. The Court of Cassation did not immediately disclose its reasoning, but legal experts said the appeal was granted over a series of procedural problems in the conduct of the original trial. The ruling had been widely expected. When Mubarak was convicted in June, the presiding judge criticized the prosecution’s case, saying it lacked concrete evidence.

group represents its members and not just the gun manufacturers, though he said the NRA would like industry to contribute more money to the association. “We know what works and what doesn’t work. And we’re not willing to compromise on people’s rights when there is no evidence that doing so is going to accomplish the purpose,” Keene said. The NRA, instead, is pushing for measures that would keep guns out of the hands of the mentally ill, until a person gets better. “If they are cured, there ought to be a way out of it,” Keene said.

apprentice. The win was Waltz’s second supporting-actor prize at the Globes, both of them coming in Tarantino films. Waltz’s violent but paternal and polite “Django” character is a sharp contrast to the wickedly bloodthirsty Nazi he played in his Globe and Oscar-winning role in Tarantino’s 2009 tale “Inglourious Basterds.” “Let me gasp,” said Waltz, whose competition included “Django” co-star Leonardo DiCaprio. “Quentin, you know that my indebtedness to you and my gratitude knows no words.” “Lincoln” came in with seven nominations to lead the Globes, but it went zero-for-five on its first categories, including director for Spielberg, supporting actress for Sally Field and supporting actor for Tommy Lee Jones. The film also lost for screenplay, a prize that went to Tarantino for “Django Unchained.” Tarantino thanked his cast and also the group of friends to whom he reads work-in-progress for reaction. “You guys don’t know how important you are to my process. I don’t want input. I don’t want you to tell me if I’m doing anything wrong. Heavens forbid,” Tarantino said. “When I read it to you, I hear it through your ears, and it lets me know I’m on the right track.” The Scottish tale “Brave” won for best animated film. It was the sixth win for Disney’s Pixar Animation unit in the seven years since the Globes added the category. Austrian director Michael Haneke’s old-age love story “Amour,” a surprise best-picture nominee for the Oscars, won the Globe for foreign-language film.

The top prize winner at last May’s Cannes Film Festival, “Amour” is a grim yet moving portrait of an elderly woman tended by her husband as she is incapacitated by age. Pop star Adele and co-writer Paul Epworth won for best song for their theme tune to the James Bond adventure “Skyfall.” “Oh, my God!” Adele gushed repeatedly, before offering gratitude to the group that presents the Globes. “I’d like to thank the Hollywood Foreign Press. I never thought I’d say that.” The prize for musical score went to Mychael Danna for the lost-at-sea tale “Life of Pi.” Show hosts Fey and Poehler, who co-starred in the 2008 bigscreen comedy “Baby Mama,” had a friendly rivalry at the Globes. Both were nominated for best actress in a TV comedy series, Fey for “30 Rock” and Poehler for “Parks and Recreation.” “Tina, I just want to say that I very much hope that I win,” Poehler told Fey at the start of the show. “Thank you. You’re my nemesis. Thank you,” Fey replied. Neither won. Lena Dunham claimed the comedy series Globe for “Girls.” After that, Fey and Poehler showed up on stage with cocktail glasses, Fey joking that it was time to start drinking. “Everyone’s getting a little loose now that we’re all losers,” Poehler said. Among other TV winners, Julianne Moore won a best-actress Globe for her role as Sarah Palin in “Game Change,” which also was picked as best TV miniseries or movie and earned Ed Harris a supporting-actor prize. Best actor in a miniseries or movie went to Kevin Costner for “Hatfields & McCoys.” ”Homeland” was named best TV drama series, and its stars Claire Danes and Damian Lewis received the dramatic acting awards. Maggie Smith won as supporting actress for “Downton Abbey.” Jodie Foster received the Globes’ Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement. “It is the most fun party of the year,” Foster said, “and tonight, I feel like the prom queen.”

Word of the Week preserve — to keep alive or in existence; make lasting

Popcorn

Tens of thousands of years before there were movies, there was popcorn. Archaeologists have found 80,000-yearold corn pollen below Mexico City. Because this pollen is almost exactly the same as modern popcorn pollen, researchers believe that "cave people" most likely had popcorn. Popcorn probably grew first in Mexico, though it also was used in China and India hundreds of years before Columbus reached the Americas. The oldest popcorn ever found was discovered in the "Bat Cave" of central New Mexico. It is thought to be about 5,600 years old. In tombs in Peru, archaeologists found ancient kernels of popcorn that are so well preserved that they can still pop. Sometimes, conditions can preserve ancient popcorn so perfectly that it still looks fluffy and white when the dust is blown off of it. In a cave in southern Utah, researchers found surprisingly fresh-looking 1,000-yearold popcorn. Popcorn was probably an important part of life in the ancient Americas. On a 1,700year-old painted funeral urn found in Mexico, a corn god is shown wearing a headdress of popcorn. Decorated popcorn poppers from around the same time have been found in Peru. Europeans learned about popcorn from Native Americans. When Cortes invaded Mexico, and when Columbus arrived in the West Indies, each saw natives eating popcorn, as well as using it in necklaces and headdresses. Native Americans brought a bag of popped corn to the first Thanksgiving. A common way to eat popcorn at that time was to hold an oiled ear on a stick over the fire, then chew the popped kernels off it. Natives throughout the Americas also made a popcorn beer. Some made popcorn soup.

Newspaper Knowledge From your newspaper, clip several advertisements for basic goods. Go to the newspaper office or library to look up back issues for three, five and 10 years. What has the inflation rate been for these products?

Did You Know? • Americans consume some 16 billion quarts of this whole grain, good-for-you treat. That’s 51 quarts per man, woman and child. • Compared to most snack foods, popcorn is low in calories. Airpopped popcorn has only 31 calories per cup. Oil-popped is only 55 per cup. • Popcorn is a type of maize (or corn), a member of the grass family, and is scientifically known as Zea mays everta. • Of the six types of maize/corn — pod, sweet, flour, dent, flint and popcorn — only popcorn pops. • Popcorn is a whole grain. It is made up of three components: the germ, endosperm and pericarp (also know as the hull). • Popcorn needs between 13.5-14 percent moisture to pop. • Popcorn differs from other types of maize/corn in that is has a thicker pericarp/hull. The hull allows pressure from the heated water to build and eventually bursts open. The inside starch becomes gelatinous while being heated; when the hull bursts, the gelatinized starch spills out and cools, giving it its familiar popcorn shape.

After learning about the fluffy food, colonists began enjoying the first puffed breakfast cereal — a bowl of popcorn, served with cream or milk. Popcorn was very popular in the United States from the late 19th century through the middle of the 20th century. It was available in parks, from street vendors and near theaters. During World War II, when sugar was rationed, Americans changed their snacking habits — they ate three times as much popcorn as they had before. Perhaps the favorite place to eat popcorn was at the movies. When television took off in the 1950s, popcorn sales dropped for a while. Today, the average American eats nearly 70 quarts of popcorn a year. But the United States isn't just a land of popcorn lovers—it's also the land of popcorn. Most of the world now gets its popcorn from Nebraska and Indiana.

A popcorn kernel is actually a seed. Like other seeds, inside it has a tiny plant embryo (a life form in its earliest phase). The embryo is surrounded by soft, starchy material that would give the embryo energy for growing into a plant. A hard, glossy shell protects the outside of the seed. The soft, starchy material holds some water. When the kernel is heated to a high heat (400 degrees F), the water inside the kernel turns into steam. The pressure from the steam causes the kernel to explode. The soft starch inside bursts out at about 40 times its original size, turning the kernel inside out. This creates the fluffy white area of a popped kernel. The ideal popcorn kernel contains about 14 percent moisture. If the popcorn is much drier, it will not pop. Popcorn kernels should be kept in a tightly sealed jar so that they will not dry out.

Fun Popcorn Facts • Most U.S. popcorn is grown in the Midwest, primarily in Indiana, Nebraska, Ohio, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky and Missouri. • Many people believe the acres of corn they see in the Midwest during growing season could be picked and eaten for dinner, or dried and popped. In fact, those acres are typically field corn, which is used largely for livestock feed, and differs from both sweet corn and popcorn. • The peak period for popcorn sales for home consumption is in the fall. • Most popcorn comes in two basic shapes

when it's popped: snowflake and mushroom. Snowflake is used in movie theaters and ballparks because it looks and pops bigger. Mushroom is used for candy confections because it doesn't crumble. • Popping popcorn is one of the No. 1 uses for microwave ovens. Most microwave ovens have a "popcorn" control button. • "Popability" is popcorn lingo that refers to the percentage of kernels that pop. • There is no such thing as “hull-less” popcorn. All popcorn needs a hull in order to pop. Some varieties of popcorn have been

bred so the hull shatters upon popping, making it appear to be hull-less. • How high popcorn kernels can pop? Up to 3 feet in the air. • The world’s largest popcorn ball was created by volunteers in Sac City, Iowa in February 2009. It weighed 5,000 pounds, stood more than 8 ft. tall, and measured 28.8 feet in circumference. • If you made a trail of popcorn from New York City to Los Angeles, you would need more than 352,028,160 popped kernels!

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

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Jerusalem Post on Israeli President Shimon Peres’ duty: President Shimon Peres is under fire, once again, for speaking his mind. During an annual conference of Israel’s ambassadors at the President’s Residence, Peres sounded off on an issue close to his heart: peace negotiations with the Palestinians. Referring to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas as a “partner for peace,” Peres declared that there was no alternative to the two-state solution. In response, the Likud Beytenu party issued a statement saying, “It’s very unfortunate that the president chose to express a personal political view that is detached from public opinion when it comes to Abbas, who refuses to make peace.” This is not the first time Peres has intervened on controversial political matters, matters that have normally been avoided in the past by the men who have served as president. Still, while the president’s duties are outlined in the 1964 Basic Law: The President of the State, there is nothing in the law that would prohibit the office-holder weighing in on issues he deem to be pressing or important. And the president is appointed by the Knesset — a democratically elected body — which makes the choice of president a reflection of the will of the people. Those who voted for him knew Peres’s political positions. Attacks on a president for making controversial comments are usually motivated by political considerations. Rarely are they the result of a principled position on the limits of a president’s powers and functions, though they are sometimes disguised as such. Whether we agree or not, we should be lenient with a president’s occasional political comment, particularly when made by a man of Peres’s stature. The only prime minister to serve as president, Peres has decades of political experience under his belt. If in bringing that experience to bear on current events, he is of the opinion that a diplomatic opportunity is being missed or a potentially damaging policy mistake is being made, he not only has the right to voice his opinion, he has an obligation to do so. China Daily, Beijing, on the state of the nation: “Omnishambles” is the Oxford Dictionary’s “Word of the Year 2012”. It denotes “a situation that has been comprehensively mismanaged, characterized by a string of blunders and miscalculations”. Dictionary.com chose “bluster”, because “2012 was full of bluster from the skies and from the mouths of pundits”. In China, no established institution has come up with a credible word of the year yet. But judging from the scattered lists and rankings available, the choices appear a lot less dismal, a lot more optimistic. True, 2012 has not seen substantial differences in some of the problems that average Chinese face. Corruption in public offices, skyrocketing housing prices, wealth gap, food insecurity and expensive yet poor medical services and public education continue to unnerve the nation. And the lackluster overseas markets along with the domestic economic slowdown once raised fears of further trouble. But in China there has not been anything even close to “eurogeddon”, which is high on Oxford Dictionary’s shortlist of runners-up. There is no “financial cliff” to worry about either. The outgoing year might not have been a completely cheerful one for every Chinese. But it surely has been one of hope. The economy outperformed expectations and is showing signs of recovery in the second half of the year — assuring signs that the feared “hard landing” is a hyperbole, and that the economy remains healthy and brisk. Earlier this year, the country finally announced the establishment of a social security network, which theoretically covers all citizens. … The new Party leadership’s initial moves, focusing on style changes, are endearing and have left the impression that it is a team that ordinary citizens can access. The fine momentum of constructive interactions thus far is the best the country could aspire for at the end of a year. And there will be no better time to open up a new chapter than as we greet the New Year.

DOONESBURY

When in doubt, go ahead and call a repairman Lindeman’s First Rule of Home Improvement: If you can possibly avoid it, do so at all costs. Lindeman’s Second Rule of Home Improvement: Nothing is as simple as it seems. I live in a house that was built in the late 1940s. This was before they started making bathrooms as big as two-car garages. In fact, it is when they made bathrooms the size of a small broom closet. This particular bathroom had a problem with the toilet seal, which led to moisture under the Linoleum, which stained the Linoleum. I ignored this for a long time — we normally use a bathroom in the other part of the house, so out of sight, out of mind. But when my daughter comes to visit she admonishes us about it, so we decide to fix it. My idea was to have someone come in and replace the Linoleum, which follows Lindeman’s Third Rule of Home Improvement: If something has to be fixed, pay someone else to do it. So we went to a floor guy in town and set it up. However, things soon started to get complicated. “You know,” my wife said, “We ought to go ahead and get rid of that wallpaper, too. No sense replacing the floor and then mess-

David Lindeman Troy Daily News Columnist ing things up later.” We called the floor guy back and told him to move the date back a few weeks. Then we went to work on the wallpaper. The only thing worse than hanging wallpaper is stripping wallpaper. I borrowed a steamer from a friend and one of my sons and I went to work. We steamed. We scraped. We slowly peeled off the wallpaper, revealing pink and white walls underneath that had a lot of scars and uneven patches. “You know,” my wife said, “if we’re going to paint in here, we should fix those things. And take off the medicine cabinet, too.” I am really bad at fixing holes in walls. I have no patience. I call a friend who has a great deal of patience and who is the Michelangelo of wall repair. He comes three different times to fill

— Joe, Teri and Alex Merle Troy

and sand and fill and sand until the walls are smoother than glass. Amazingly, the painting goes very well. All is ready for the floor man to come. He arrives, tears into the Linoleum and discovers another layer underneath. He pulls that up, too. He then informs us the flange on the toilet is bad and we need to get a plumber for that. Another complication. But the floor looks great. In the meantime, I am painting the cupboard doors in the basement. “You know,” my wife says, “as long as we’re doing that we should replace the hardware. That old stuff looks terrible.” We are very careful to get the same size hardware that is coming off the doors, so we can use the same holes. However, when I try to put the new handles on, I discover the holes on the new handles are a fraction of an inch closer together than the holes on the old handles. I have to drill more holes into the doors. By the time I finally get them to fit, the doors resemble swiss cheese. Nothing a little wood putty and lots of paint can’t fix. My other son stops by and I recruit him to help re-hang the medicine cabinet, a job I am sure

will go awry. Amazingly, it goes up with no problems. So we decide to put on the new switch plates, a job I am sure will be easy. These particular switch plates are made so the screws don’t show from the front. However, you have to unscrew the switches themselves and we can’t seem to get everything back together so it’s straight. After we finally get them on, we step back and discover … they look awful. They are a different shade of white than the plugs. My wife comes in and looks. She doesn’t say anything, mainly because she heard us loudly discussing the heritage of the switch plate designers while we were trying to hang them. Then she says, “You know …” Yes, I know. We take the new switch plates off and put the old ones back on. There! Finished! Almost. We have called the plumbers, but have not heard back from them, so the toilet is in the bathtub, which is the only place in the little bathroom where it fits. So now we have a beautiful freshly painted bathroom with new floor, only you can’t go to the bathroom there. I guess you can’t have everything.

LOCAL & NATION

Patterson, 89, voice on civil rights, dies ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Eugene Patterson, a Pulitzer Prize-winning editor and columnist whose impassioned words helped draw national attention to the civil rights movement as it unfolded across the South, has died at 89. Patterson, who helped fellow whites to understand the problems of racial discrimination, died Saturday evening in Florida after complications from prostate cancer, according to B.J. Phillips, a family spokeswoman. Patterson was editor of the Atlanta Constitution from 1960 to 1968, winning a Pulitzer Prize in 1967 for editorial writing. His famous column of Sept, 16, 1963, about the Birmingham, Ala., church bombing that killed four girls “A Flower for the Graves” was considered so moving that he was asked by Walter Cronkite to read it nationally on the “CBS Evening News.” “A Negro mother wept in the street Sunday morning in front of a Baptist Church in Birmingham,” Patterson began his column. “In her hand she held a shoe, one shoe, from the foot of her dead child. We hold that shoe with her. “Every one of us in the white South holds that small shoe in his hand. … We who go on electing politicians who heat the kettles of hate. … (The bomber) feels right now that he has been a hero. He is only guilty of murder. He thinks he has pleased us. We of the white South who know better are the ones who must take a harsher judgment.” “It was the high point of my life,” Patterson later said in a June 2006 interview from his home in St. Petersburg. “It was the only time I was absolutely sure I was right. They were not telling the truth to people and we tried to change that.” Patterson also spoke of what he called his good fortune to work for the Atlanta newspaper and an “enlightened” leadership that encouraged his work. “We were rather rare editors in the South at that time,” Patterson said of himself and Constitution Publisher Ralph McGill. Patterson worked under McGill, himself a Pulitzer winner in 1959, and then

In this Aug. 25, 2012 photo, Gene Patterson, former chairman and chief executive of the Times Publishing Company and its affiliates, checks his email from his bed in St. Petersburg, Fla. Patterson edited 600,000 words out of the King James Bible shown at right, sitting on top of his finished manuscript. succeeded him at the helm of the Constitution four years later. Editor Kevin G. Riley at the Atlanta JournalConstitution called Patterson’s contributions to the newspaper, Atlanta and the field of journalism “enormous.” “We benefit still from his work and legacy,” Riley told The Associated Press via email. In 1968, Patterson joined The Washington Post and served for three years as its managing editor, playing a central role in the publication of the Pentagon Papers. After leaving the Post he spent a year teaching at Duke University. He became editor of The St. Petersburg Times and its Washington publication, Congressional Quarterly, in 1972 and was later chief executive officer of The St. Petersburg Times Co. Under Patterson’s leadership, the Times won two Pulitzer Prizes and became known as one of the top newspapers in the country. Times owner Nelson Poynter, who died in 1978, chose Patterson to ensure his controlling stock in the newspaper company was used to fund a school for journalists then called the Modern Media Institute. It is now known as the Poynter Institute, which owns the Tampa Bay Times (formerly The St. Petersburg Times). “A person one person had to be entrusted with fulfilling what Mr. Poynter intended,” said Roy Peter Clark, the school’s first faculty member. ” … He had to be totally trustworthy, so Mr. Poynter chose Mr. Patterson.”

Patterson retired from the Times and Poynter in 1988. A collection of Patterson’s Atlanta Constitution columns was published in book form in 2002 as “The Changing South of Gene Patterson: Journalism and Civil Rights, 1960-1968.” Hank Klibanoff, director of the journalism program at Emory University and co-author of a Pulitzer Prize-winning book on press coverage of the civil rights movement, said Patterson wrote with deepseated conviction about the troubled era. Klibanoff said that when black churches were burned in southwestern Georgia in 1962, Patterson was “deeply disturbed” and wrote a column tweaking white people who claim to be religious but support segregation. He called on whites to raise money to rebuild the churches, sparking an effort that raised $10,000. “When he sat down to write, that conviction came out. And it came out in just a very, very powerfully written way,” Klibanoff said of Patterson. Patterson was born in 1923 in Georgia and grew up on a small farm. School, fishing and literature were his only means of escape. He graduated from the University of Georgia in 1943 and served in the Army in Europe during World War II. His first reporting job was at the Temple (Texas) Daily Telegram. He also had stints for United Press in Atlanta, New York and London during his journalism career.

Ex-postal workers’ union head Sombrotto dies at 89 MANHASSET, N.Y. (AP) — Vincent R. Sombrotto, a labor leader who served as president of the National Association of Letter Carriers for 24 years, has died. He was 89. The NALC announced on its website that Sombrotto died Thursday. Fairchild Sons Funeral Home in Manhasset, which is handling the arrangements, confirmed his death to The Associated Press on Sunday. Sombrotto joined the then-Post Office Department in 1947 as a part-time carrier. As a letter carrier at New York’s Grand Central Station, he took charge of the 1970 postal strike to protest poor

working conditions and wages so low that some carriers qualified for welfare. President Richard Nixon called in 25,000 troops to deliver the mail in the city after the carriers went on strike. The walkout eventually spread to 100 cities and involved more than 200,000 postal workers. It led to the creation of the United States Postal Service. In 1978, Sombrotto was elected as the NALC’s 16th president, a position he held leading the union’s 300,000 members until his retirement in 2002. He played a key role in helping to reform the Hatch Act, a law that prohibited

partisan political activities by federal employees. “Vince’s long tenure and tireless work for this union, at both the local and national levels, has left a lasting, positive impact on all the men and women who have carried the mail since the Great Postal Strike, and on those who will do so in the decades yet to come,” NALC President Fredric V. Rolando said. He is survived by his wife, Rae, seven children and 14 grandchildren. A funeral Mass is planned for Monday morning in Port Washington. Donations can be made to the National Kidney Foundation.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Discuss the issue with your parents Dear Annie: I am a 13-yearold girl, and I love reading your column. I hope you can help me. My uncle "Ted" got a divorce and had to sell his house. My family was happy to let him stay with us until he found a new home. That was two years ago, but none of us seems to mind. Here's the actual problem: Uncle Ted has two daughters who come over every other weekend. I love having my cousins here, but they are slobs. Their mother allows them to be this way at home, and they've brought that same sense of "style" to our house. They both sleep in my room and are amazingly messy. They never make their beds or put their dirty clothes in the laundry room, and by the time they leave, my room looks like a pigsty. How do I tell them to clean up their act? — My Room, Not Theirs Dear My Room: First talk to your parents. They undoubtedly have rules for their home, and your cousins' behavior should be included. Explain the problem to them and ask for their help. But you also can speak up. It's your room. It's OK to tell your cousins that you expect them to share the cleanup as well as the fun. Dear Annie: Years ago, some dear friends asked us to invest in their son's new business. They said all the partnership agreements, contracts, etc., were finalized. Mutual friends advised us not to give them any money. They said there were rumors floating around about our friends' credibility. We thought they were mistaken. We were idiots. We gave their son several thousand dollars. The business lasted for two months. There was no contract or partnership agreement. Our money was lost, and because they were our friends, we forgave them. We didn't realize they were con artists. They took our money and bought a luxury car and a second home. They've been sued five times in the past 12 years, mostly for failed "business ventures." I finally wised up and ended the friendship when I caught them trying to extort money from a department store by claiming the wife slipped on the floor when I knew she hadn't. Instead of seeing a doctor, she went on vacation. Please tell your readers to do due diligence if they plan to participate in any business venture with friends or family. An attorney and proper legal documents are mandatory, and they should never take someone's word for it. Don't make our mistake. We thought we were helping our "friends." As it turned out, they were helping themselves to our pockets. — Wiser but Sadder Dear Wiser: Your letter serves as a cautionary tale for anyone who is considering investing in a friend's or a relative's business. Even people who aren't con artists can mess up the paperwork, leaving you at risk. If the statute of limitations hasn't expired, please consider seeking damages from your "friends" for their fraudulent practices. Dear Annie: I hope you can make room for one more response to "S.W.," the father who disowned his daughter. How sad that he would give up a relationship because of a "falling out," and worse, that the whole issue boils down to money. My father disowned me 18 years ago because of a disagreement. He refused to talk further about the situation because he was convinced he was right, and that was all that mattered. I didn't matter, and neither did our relationship. There are so many things that are more important than money. I feel sorry for my father that he missed being a part of my wonderful life and knowing my incredible children and grandchildren. — Still Sad in Pennsylvania Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HOW TO PLAY: Complete the grid so that every row, column and 3x3 box contains every digit from 1 to 9 inclusively. Find answers to today’s puzzle in tomorrow’s Troy Daily News. SATURDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

This week’s Sound Off: A call for assistance bars Dear Readers: Here is this week’s Sound Off, about assistance bars in public restrooms: “Why don’t public restrooms, restaurants, theaters, etc., put assistance bars in all facilities, not just those for the handicapped? The potties are so low that it is difficult to rise from them without assistance. A female of any age with a broken arm is an example. All public facilities should install assistance bars in all restroom stalls.” — Chris, via email” Many readers agree with you. One reason, however, might

Hints from Heloise Columnist be the cost to install grab bars in all stalls. — Heloise FAST FACTS Dear Readers: Other uses for metal mint tins: • Hold long pieces of gum. • Small first-aid kit (bandages, gauze, etc.). • Store change in one. • Use as a pillbox.

• Small sewing kit. — Heloise STAINED SILVERWARE Dear Heloise: I have some everyday silverware that looks stained. Every morning, I drink my coffee and add creamer with a spoon. I then set the spoon down and enjoy my cup of joe. When the silverware comes out of the dishwasher, there is a circular stain. What can I do? — Cathy S. in Texas The stain probably is the fat that’s in the creamer. Here’s what was tested in Heloise Central: A little dish soap on a microfiber cloth (rubbing the stain) did the trick! If that does

not work, mix a little baking soda and dish soap to make a paste, and rub-a-dub-dub! The baking soda won’t scratch as long as it’s wet. Baking soda is a great household product to have around. I have compiled a pamphlet full of helpful, money-saving baking-soda hints. To order, send $5 and a long, selfaddressed, stamped (65 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Baking Soda, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. To prevent the stained spoon, rinse under water or keep a small cup of water by the pot to dip the spoon into after use. — Heloise

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Stay in touch with your bank account today. Find out how much money you don’t have. Information is power. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You have to go more than halfway when dealing with others today, because the Moon is opposite your sign. It’s simply a matter of gentle compromise. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Focus on getting better organized today. Although you are inclined to daydream, you still want to pull your act together. Set aside 15 minutes to do some serious tidying. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) A playful, flirtatious day! Enjoy sports events, playful times with children, romantic liaisons and anything related to the arts. A great day for pleasure and relaxation. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) It will please you if you have a chance to cocoon at home today. You want to pull in and withdraw a bit so that you can ponder profundity. (It’s crazy out there!) CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) In discussions with others, you will go with your hunches today. You feel greater trust in your emotions than in your intellect, at least for now. You also can be a good listener to siblings and neighbors. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) If shopping, you’ll be emotionally influenced by whatever you see. I suggest that you keep your receipts and try to make your purchases as sensible as possible. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) The Moon is in your sign today, dancing beautifully with Mercury. This blesses all your conversations with others and helps you to intuit what others want to know. YOU BORN TODAY It’s curious, but as a child you had heroes and as an adult others view you as heroic (despite what you think). You are idealistic and rebellious. This combination often puts you at the helm of energy directed toward correct wrongs in society. You also are pleasure-loving. In the year ahead, work hard to build or construct something, because your rewards will soon follow. Birthdate of: Andrea Martin, actress; James Nesbitt, actor; Martin Luther King Jr., civil-rights leader. (c) 2013 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Monday, Jan. 14, the 14th day of 2013. There are 351 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 14, 1963, George C. Wallace was sworn in as governor of Alabama; his inaugural address included the ringing declaration, “Segregation today, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever!” a view Wallace came to repudiate in later years. On this date: • In 1784, the United States ratified a peace treaty with England, ending the Revolutionary War. • In 1858, Napoleon III, Emperor of

the French, and his wife, Empress Eugenie, escaped an assassination attempt led by Italian revolutionary Felice Orsini, who was later captured and executed. • In 1943, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and French General Charles de Gaulle opened a wartime conference in Casablanca. • In 1952, NBC’s “Today” show premiered, with Dave Garroway as the host, or “communicator.” • In 1968, the Green Bay Packers of the NFL defeated the AFL’s Oakland Raiders, 33-14, in Super Bowl II.

• In 1989, President Ronald Reagan delivered his 331st and final weekly White House radio address, telling listeners, “Believe me, Saturdays will never seem the same. I’ll miss you.” • Today’s Birthdays: Blues singer Clarence Carter is 77. Former NAACP Chairman Julian Bond is 73. Actress Faye Dunaway is 72. Actress Holland Taylor is 70. Actor Carl Weathers is 65. Singer-producer T-Bone Burnett is 65. Movie writer-director Lawrence Kasdan is 64. Rapper-actor LL Cool J is 45. Actor Jason Bateman is 44. Rock singer-musician Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters) is 44.

Researchers studying Vt. stream recovery CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Dartmouth College scientists studying the aftermath of Tropical Storm Irene in Vermont hope their work will help communities both predict and plan for future hazards. Immediately after the 2011 storm, geography professor Frank Magilligan and earth sciences professor Carl Renshaw used a National Science Foundation grant to conduct a rapid damage assessment. They are now a few months into a threeyear, $345,000 grant to study the storm’s longerterm effects, particularly in areas where overflowing streams washed away roads and houses. Many communities found themselves ill-prepared for the storm, which knocked out hundreds of roads and bridges in the state, damaged or destroyed more than 700 homes and left some towns stranded. Flooding moved whole sections of rivers and streams, gouging out roads and farm fields. In some cases, huge piles of gravel were deposited in other locations. “Irene was a wakeup call for them,” Magilligan said. Using a combination of their own observations, aerial photography and data from remote sensors, the researchers are developing faster and more accurate assessment techniques that can be used to pinpoint potential trouble spots along streams. The goal is to give communities tools they can use to make scientifically informed planning decisions, rather than make recommendations, Magilligan said. “We’re not going to go to town managers and say, ‘Here’s what you have to do,’” he said. Kevin Geiger is a senior planner with the Two

Rivers-Ottauquechee Regional Commission, which serves as technical staff for towns in planning, zoning and emergency management. While many towns have flood maps from the Federal Emergency Management Agency that give a good idea of the flood risk on major rivers, most of the Irene damage occurred on smaller streams, he said. “There are streams that aren’t streams streams that had no water in them (before the storm) that split houses in half,” he said. “You had streams you could step over carrying full-size trees.” From a scientific standpoint, the storm provided what Magilligan calls a “grand experiment” the opportunity to investigate what happens when a stream system faces a

major disturbance. The storm was unprecedented in New England in terms of the disruption to stream channels, Magilligan said. The amount of sand and other material flung into the flood plain also was highly unusual, he said. Along some parts of the White River, more than a foot and a half of sand was deposited over an area more than 500 feet wide. But beyond the erosion, the scientists also are concerned about how streams will recover. And in many cases, efforts to “repair and restore” streams with bulldozers and other heavy equipment actually did more damage than the storm, Magilligan said. After the storm, the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources

allowed people to work in streams with heavy equipment after receiving verbal approval from state river engineers. But critics have complained that the temporary emergency rules created a “lawless state” that had crews digging gravel from stream beds and piled boulders on riverbanks, damaging fish habitat and possibly worsening future floods. A report published by the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department concluded that a significant amount of stream channel alteration was conducted without proper consultation and oversight, or for reasons beyond necessary flood recovery. The agency said it could take decades for some fish and other aquatic populations

to recover. Magilligan, who describes some of the repair efforts as “falling somewhere between ad hoc and willy nilly,” agreed. Streams generally recover from floods in five to 10 years, but he expects it will take much longer because of the additional damage caused by heavy equipment. The scientists are comparing streams that were affected by Irene alone and adjacent regions where power equipment was used to reconfigure the stream channel. If the research demonstrates that recovery will take significantly longer in the latter, town planners may hesitate before using such

equipment again, they said. While not familiar with the details of the Dartmouth research, Geiger said any information that would help planners predict future problems would be valuable, particularly since the effects of a river and stream channels after one flooding incident often don’t become clear until the next one. For example, dredging after a major flood in 1973 may have contributed to the extensive damage from Irene, he said. “They didn’t anticipate this as much as they should’ve,” he said. “People tend to think it won’t happen again.”

OSU beats No. 2 Michigan COLUMBUS (AP) — A ball that rattled around the rim and bounced out separated Michigan from its first No. 1 ranking in more than 20 years. Point guard Trey Burke’s stepback jumper with 17 seconds went down, then came out, leaving No. 2 Michigan on the wrong side of a 56-53 loss to rival and 15th-ranked Ohio State on Sunday. After No. 1 Duke lost to North Carolina State a day earlier, the Wolverines were in prime position to ascend to No. 1 for the first time since November 1992. Instead, they went home with their first loss, also depriving them of the best start in school history. “Some go in and some don’t,” said

Burke, a sophomore who just happens to be from Columbus and is friends with several of the Buckeyes. “I thought it was going in. It looked good. I think it went in and then came out.” Michigan (16-1, 3-1 Big Ten) trailed 5250 and had the ball as the seconds sifted away. Everyone in a hoarse, capacity crowd of 18,809 knew that Burke, a star at Columbus’ Northland High School where he was a teammate of former Buckeye Jared Sullinger, would likely take the last shot.

WHAT’S INSIDE

Power plays were both helpful and detrimental for the Troy hockey team in a 6-4 loss to the Bowling Green Bobcats Sunday at Hobart Arena in Troy. Troy’s Mason Hagan and Brandon Beaty assisted Clay Terrill for the game-tying power-play goal 18 seconds into the third period. But the Trojans couldn’t stay out of the penalty box during the remainder of the final period, and the Bobcats capitalized. With 6:48 remaining in the final period, Bowling Green scored the go-ahead goal on a 5-on-4 advantage to go up 5-4. Less than a TROY minute later, the Trojans had two more guys in the box following a tripping penalty on Hagan and an interference call on Logan Tiderington. Though the Bobcats failed to produce anything on that opportunity, they added the dagger with 11.9 seconds to go, scoring their sixth and final goal with another Trojan in the penalty box. “We played a very good game,” Troy hockey coach Larrell Walters said. “Every hockey game has mistakes. We made mistakes, they made mistakes. We took advantage of some of theirs, they took advantage of ours.

Patriots storm past Texans in playoffs Tom Brady idolized Joe Montana as a kid in the Bay Area. Now, he’s surpassed his hero for postseason wins. Brady got his 17th, the most for any quarterback, in New England’s 41-28 AFC divisional victory over Houston on Sunday.

ATLANTA (AP) — Matt Bryant pumped his fist and celebrated atop the Falcons logo in the middle of the field. Tony Gonzalez broke down in tears. Matt Ryan relished the thought of not having to answer a familiar question. The Atlanta Falcons finally showed they could win a playoff game. And, wow, what a game it was! After a meltdown in the fourth quarter, the Falcons pulled off a comeback that will long be remembered in championshipstarved Atlanta. Ryan completed two long passes and Bryant kicked a 49-yard field goal with 8 seconds remaining, lifting the NFC’s top seed to a stunning 3028 victory over Russell Wilson and the gutty Seattle Seahawks in a divisional game Sunday. “Wow!” said Falcons coach Mike Smith, summing up this classic as well as anyone could. Atlanta (14-3) squandered a 20-point lead in the fourth quarter, falling behind for the first time all day when Marshawn Lynch scored on a 2-yard run with 31 seconds left and Ryan Longwell knocked through the extra point for a 28-27 lead. No team has ever won a playoff game when facing such a daunting deficit in the final period.

PLYMOUTH, Mich. (AP) — On a sheet of ice a few miles from sandy beaches, the Los Angeles Kings finally got to begin their quest to hoist the Stanley Cup again. Several hundred fans packed wooden bleachers in El Segundo, Calif., on Sunday, eager to watch the Kings practice four months after the NHL lockout started and seven months after their favorite team was crowned champion for the first time. A skate that would usually draw a few dozen fans in the past turned into a place to be because hockey is back. “You get a little celebration, but pretty soon you start wanting to get ready for the season,” Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick said. “We’ve been looking forward to this for a long time now.” Quick’s not alone. The NHL, and its fans that haven’t been soured by a third work stoppage in less than two decades, can finally shift their focus to the ice after languishing

Patriots top Texans, 41-28

NFC

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Tom Brady idolized Joe Montana as a kid in the Bay Area. Now, he’s surpassed his hero for postseason wins. Brady got his 17th, the most for any quarterback, in New England’s 41-28 AFC divisional victory over Houston on Sunday. If Brady can lead the Patriots past Baltimore in next weekend’s conference title game, then win the Super Bowl, he’ll equal the 49ers’ Hall of Famer for NFL championships. Brady has guided the Patriots to five Super Bowls, winning the first three; Montana was 4 for 4 in the big game, playing for Brady’s hometown team. “I grew up a 49ers fan,” Brady said. “Joe Montana and Steve Young … those guys are in another class.” Next up is Baltimore, which stunned top-seeded Denver in double overtime Saturday, and lost 23-20 at Gillette Stadium last January in the last step before the Super Bowl. But the Ravens beat the Patriots in Week 3 this season at Baltimore. “I think the two best teams are in the final,” Brady said. “Baltimore certainly deserves to be here and so do we.” Seldom-used Shane Vereen scored three times, twice on pinpoint throws from Brady, as New England (13-4) beat Houston (13-5) for the second time in a month. Brady was missing some key helpers, but got the usual outstanding performance from Wes Welker, his favorite target the last six years. The AFC’s top receiver with 118 catches this season, Welker looked like he might reach that total against Houston’s befuddled defense. He caught six in the first half for 120 yards, including a 47-yarder, and wound up with eight for 131. And the AFC East champion Patriots got more than anyone could have predicted from third-string running back Vereen, who scored their first two TDs on a 1yard run and an 8-yard pass. He capped his biggest pro performance with an over-the-shoulder 33-yard catch early in the fourth period. It was Brady’s 41st postseason TD pass, behind only Brett Favre (44) and, you guessed it, Montana (45). “I hope I am around for a few more years,” the 35year-old Brady said. “I love playing, I love competing …” The boost from Vereen

Rob Ninkovich’s leaping third-quarter interception stopped a drive, and six plays later, Brady hit Brandon Lloyd for a 6-yard score. Although the Texans got two fourth-quarter TDs on passes by Matt Schaub, their season ended with four defeats in their last six games. That slump cost the AFC South champions the top seed in the playoffs, forcing a trip to New England after they beat Cincinnati in the wild-card round. The Texans couldn’t measure up. Unlike their 42-14 loss

here a month ago, the Texans didn’t fold early. J.J. Watt, their dominating defensive end, bothered Brady, and when they fell behind 17-3, they had the fortitude to climb back. Arian Foster did all the work after Danieal Manning’s second big kickoff return, this one a 35yarder that had 15 yards tacked on when kicker Stephen Gostkowski brought down Manning with a horse-collar tackle. The Pro Bowl runner covered all 47 yards on a fiveplay drive and his 1-yard run he barely squeezed into the end zone made it 17-10. Houston forced a threeand-out, and a short punt gave the Texans another shot just before halftime. They got close enough for Shayne Graham to kick a 55-yard field goal as the half ended. But the Patriots pulled away in the third quarter for coach Bill Belichick’s

17th postseason win, third behind Tom Landry (20) and Don Shula (19). Needing a quick jolt after being blown out by the Patriots on Dec. 10, the Texans got it on the opening kickoff from Manning. He took the ball 6 yards in his end zone and never hesitated in returning it. He broke free at the Houston 30 and wasn’t run down until reaching the New England 12. That spark didn’t even last one play, though, and Houston wound up with Graham’s 27-yard field goal 63 seconds in. And when the Texans closed the first half with a 10-point spurt, they wasted the momentum by allowing a quick touchdown drive to open the third period. Brady went to the familiar (Welker and tight end Aaron Hernandez) on that series before second-year back Stevan Ridley scored on an 8-yard burst.

■ CONTINUED FROM 13 The Falcons, thanks to a pair of Matty Ices Ryan and Bryant didn’t become the first. Ryan, shaking off his struggles in three previous playoff losses and two interceptions against the Seahawks, hooked up with Harry Douglas on a 29-yard pass in front of the Falcons bench, and Smith quickly signaled a timeout. Then, Ryan went down the middle to his favorite target Gonzalez, a Hall of Famerto-be playing what could’ve been his final game. Gonzalez hauled in the 19-yard throw, and Smith called his final timeout with 13 seconds remaining. Instead of risking another play and having the clock run out, he sent Bryant in for the field goal try. The Seahawks called time just before the ball was snapped, and Bryant’s kick sailed right of the upright. That turned out to be nothing more than practice. The next one was right down the middle as Bryant took off in the other direction, pumping his fist before he was mobbed by his teammates. “Our quarterback is a special player,” Smith said. “They call him Matty Ice, but I feel like we’ve got two Matty Ices. There’s Matty Ice Ryan and Matty Ice Bryant.” The Falcons overcame their reputation for choking in the playoffs, winning their first postseason game since the 2004 season. They’ll host San Francisco in the NFC championship game next Sunday with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line. “Nobody flinched,” Ryan said. “We just kept battling, kept doing what we do. That’s been the makeup of our team all season.” Bryant knocked through his third game-winning kick of the season. But he’d never made one like this, with so much on the line. “When they scored their touchdown, I walked down (the sideline),” he said. “I told the offensive line, I told Matt (Ryan), I told all the receivers, ‘We’ve done this before.’” Wilson threw two touchdown passes and ran for another, doing all he could to pull off the most improbable of comebacks for the Seahawks (12-6). But the Seattle defense, which is one of the NFL’s best and had totally stymied the Falcons in the fourth quarter, went to a softer coverage and got burned. Atlanta had just enough time to pull off a comeback of its own. “We had high, high hopes for the rest of the sea-

son,” Wilson said. “When the game was over, I was very disappointed. But walking back into the tunnel, I got so excited about next year. The resilience we showed was unbelievable.” Wilson finished with 385 yards passing as the Seahawks wiped out a 27-7 deficit entering the final quarter. When Lynch powered over, the ball breaking the goal line just before it squirted from his arms, Seattle celebrated like it had won its second straight playoff game on the road, having already taken care of Robert Griffin III and the Washington Redskins. According to STATS, it would’ve been the greatest fourth-quarter comeback in NFL playoff history. Not so fast. Ryan led the Falcons back, wiping out his 0-3 mark in the playoffs, including a crushing loss to Green Bay two years ago when the Falcons were in the same position, the NFC’s topseeded team with homefield advantage in the playoffs. “The one thing I’ve learned during my five years in the league, and specifically in the postseason, is that it’s hard,” Ryan said. Now, he’ll no longer be asked why he can’t win in the playoffs. “That’s going to be nice,” Ryan conceded. “But our goal is not to win one playoff game. Our goals are still in front of us. We still have two more games to go. That’s the mind-set I have. That’s the mind-set this team has.” Wilson’s last throw, a desperation heave into the end zone, was intercepted by Falcons receiver Julio Jones. Gonzalez, who had never won a playoff game in his 16-year career, broke down in tears after Bryant’s kick went through the uprights. “I’ve never cried after a win,” said Gonzalez, who has stated repeatedly that he’s “95 percent” sure this is his final year. “I was thinking, ‘Here we go again. I guess it wasn’t meant to be.’” It was. The Falcons finally lived up to their excellence during the regular season since Smith, Ryan and general manager Thomas Dimitroff took over in 2008, instantly reviving a franchise that seemed down and out after Michael Vick’s dogfighting case. Atlanta has won 56 regular-season games over the last five years, more than any team except New England, but had a reputation for choking in the postseason.

Armstrong awaits ‘candid’ Oprah interview

■ CONTINUED FROM 13 defender he had ever seen prevented Burke from driving. His path blocked, Burke jumped back and then launched the shot. Lenzelle Smith Jr. grabbed the rebound. A moment later he was fouled again and hit two free throws for breathing room. Craft, who had struggled on offense most of the season, then made two more foul shots to more than offset Burke’s circus 3-pointer with a second left. The Buckeyes had done most of their offensive damage early, following Burke’s opening 3-pointer with a 16-0 run that was started and ended with baskets by Deshaun Thomas, who led the Buckeyes (13-3, 3-1) with 20 points. From there on, it was just a matter of whether Ohio State which had blown a late lead at Duke in November could hold off the Wolverines, who came in averaging 81 points a game with four starters in double figures. Burke led Michigan, which was trying to exceed the 16-0 start of the 198586 team, with 15 points. Tim Hardaway Jr. added 12. Down 21 points in the first half, Michigan kept chipping away. The Wolverines

switched defenses, causing the Buckeyes problems with matchup zones. Eventually, Glenn Robinson III flipped in a 3pointer from the right wing to tie it at 46 with just under 6 minutes left. The Buckeyes regained some momentum when Shannon Scott fed post player Evan Ravenel for a dunk to regain the lead. On the next possession, Ohio State went inside again and Ravenel, averaging 6.3 points a game, bulled his way for another basket. After another Michigan missed shot, Thomas took a pass on the left baseline and made a quick spin to the end line before banking in a shot for a 52-46 lead. The Wolverines missed six straight field goal attempts down the stretch, going scoreless for more than 4 minutes until Burke hit two free throws with 1:37 left to cut the lead to 52-48. A steal and dunk by Robinson made it 52-50 with 1:16 left, setting up the potential tying shot by Burke, who grew up a rabid fan of the Buckeyes but wasn’t recruited by coach Thad Matta because he already had Craft and was close to signing Scott to play point.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Out for a Sunday morning jog in bright sunshine, Lance Armstrong hardly looked like a man about to finally confront the doping scandal that has shadowed his storied career like an angry storm cloud. “I’m calm, I’m at ease and ready to speak candidly,” Armstrong told The Associated Press, referring to his interview today with Oprah Winfrey. In what’s been billed as a “no-holds barred” session, the cyclist is expected to reverse course after a decade of denials and apologize for doping, as well as offer a limited confession about his role at the head of a long-running scheme to dominate the Tour de France with the aid of performance-enhancing drugs. Armstrong was stripped of all seven tour titles last year in the wake of a voluminous U.S. Anti-Doping Agency report that portrayed him as a ruthless competitor, willing to go to any lengths to win the prestigious race. “The most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program that sport has ever seen,” is how USADA chief executive Travis Tygart labeled the doping regimen allegedly carried out by the U.S. Postal

In this July 10, 2010 file photo, Lance Armstrong throws out his water bottle in the last kilometers of the climb toward Station les Rousses, France during the seventh stage of the Tour de France. Service team that Armstrong once led. Yet if any of that was weighing on Armstrong’s mind, he didn’t show it early in the day. Wearing a red jersey and black shorts, sunglasses and a white baseball cap pulled down to his eyes, he was training by himself and about a mile from his home when he talked to the AP. Armstrong ran for about an hour as his team of lawyers and advisors began arriving one-by-one at his house. Leaning into a reporter’s car on the shoulder of a busy Austin road, he also seemed unfazed by the international news crews gathering at the

gates of his home. He cracked a few jokes about all the attention the interview with Winfrey had already drawn, then added, “But now I want to finish my run” and took off down the road. The interview, which will take place at his home and broadcast Thursday on the Oprah Winfrey Network, will be Armstrong first public response to the USADA report. A person with knowledge of the situation told the AP a day earlier that Armstrong will give a limited confession and apologize. He is not expected to provide a detailed account about his involvement, nor address in depth many of the specific

allegations in the more than 1,000-page USADA report. In a text to the AP on Saturday, Armstrong said: “I told her (Winfrey) to go wherever she wants and I’ll answer the questions directly, honestly and candidly. That’s all I can say.” A confession would be a stunning reversal after years of public statements, interviews and court battles from Austin to Europe that Armstrong waged while zealously protecting his reputation. After a federal investigation of the cyclist was dropped without charges being brought last year, USADA stepped in with an investigation of its own. The agency deposed nearly a dozen former teammates and accused Armstrong of masterminding a complex and brazen drug program that included steroids, blood boosters and a range of other performance-enhancers. Armstrong had remained defiant, tweeting a picture of himself on a couch at home with all seven of the yellow leader’s jerseys on display in frames behind him. But the preponderance of evidence in the USADA report and pending legal challenges on several fronts apparently forced him to change tactics dramatically.

Capacity crowd greets Blue Jackets in return COLUMBUS (AP) — Quite a few of the Columbus Blue Jackets worried about how the fans would react once the NHL lockout was officially over and the team returned to the ice. A lot of people were angry. Some planned on turning their backs on the sport. Based on their first practice, the players had nothing to worry about. A capacity crowd, with fans standing two or three

deep around the glass, clapped and cheered as the Blue Jackets held their first full team practice on Sunday at the public facility adjoining their home arena. Everyone associated with the team was stunned by the reaction. The team handed out free T-shirts to the first 1,000 in attendance, but that didn’t explain the size of the crowd and its exuberance. “I didn’t expect that. I’m very impressed, very

impressed,” new team president John Davidson said. “I didn’t know what was going to happen. There’s a lot of unknown. With the lockout, it wasn’t a good thing for anybody. You wonder about it but there was great enthusiasm. The place was packed. There were a lot of kids having a great time. I loved every second of it.” Coach Todd Richards, who had his “interim” tag removed in the offseason, had the same thoughts

about the fans’ reaction. “It surprises me because of what we went through, and what you read some of the anger. When you get into these situations you really don’t know what to expect,” he said. “But it also doesn’t surprise me, having lived in the community and being around here, (because) I know what people are saying to me. I’ve spent enough time in the rinks. I know the people here.”

One of the club’s new players, Brandon Dubinsky, was making his first real public appearance as a Blue Jacket. He was acquired in a trade with the New York Rangers in July, coming over along with two other players and a first-round draft pick in exchange for Columbus’ best player, Rick Nash, another player and a draft pick. He was almost speechless by the reception. “It was really awesome.

It was really cool,” the right wing said. “In New York we had closed practices. That was pretty special. All the boys were excited about it.” Defenseman James Wisniewski was the first player on the ice shortly after noon, and he smiled as he tossed sticks over the glass to fans. Richards earlier addressed the crowd, thanking the fans for their patience and acknowledging some “negativity” because of the lockout.

Trojans ■ CONTINUED FROM 13 “At the end, I think the penalties in the third period that were called really came back to hurt us.” Bowling Green scored the first goal of the game with 4:09 left on the clock in the opening period. But Terrill tied the game up with 18.2 seconds to go in the period, connecting on a slap shot from just inside the blue line. The goal was assisted by Hagan and Troy Moore. But just 47 seconds into the second period, Bowling Green was able to slip a shot through the five hole of Troy goalie Jake Elderidge to regain the lead. The Bobcats added another goal less than five minutes later to go up 3-1. Troy’s Michael Walter made it a one-goal deficit with 3:15 left to go in the second, weaving his way through a pair of Bowling Green defenders on a breakaway and putting a back-handed shot by the goalie. The Bobcats answered quickly, scoring less than 25 seconds later to make the score 4-2. “Once they got a fairly decent shot that we got a good stop on, they had players crashing the net

right away to pick up the trash goals, which is what we call them,” Troy assistant coach Phill Noll said. After getting virtually no good looks at goal on their first two power play attempts, the Trojans capitalized on their third crack at it. A high sticking penalty on Bowling Green late in the second gave way for a Beaty goal with 1:08 left in the period. Will Schober passed to Terrill, who delivered a perfect touch pass to Beaty in front of the net for the goal. Terrill’s game-tying goal came on a 5-on-3 advantage. Alex Smith had a chance to give Troy the lead six minutes into the final period. Smith stole the puck from a Bowling Green player and had a breakaway chance denied by the goalie. Following that, it was all Bobcats. Elderidge did what he could in goal for the Trojans. At times, the Troy goalie faced a flurry of shots and made key saves. All told, Elderidge stopped 31 out of the 37 shots he faced. The Trojans (11-12) return to action Jan. 18 at Columbus Chiller North.

M E L B O U R N E , Australia (AP) — Maria Sharapova finished her first match of the year in 55 minutes Monday, cruising to a 60, 6-0 win over Olga Puchkova to start proceedings on center court at the Australian Open without showing any signs of trouble with her sore right shoulder. The No. 2-ranked Sharapova, who lost the final to Victoria Azarenka here last year before going on to win the French Open, faced only two break points in the match and she saved both of those in the first game. Then she went on a 12game roll that earned her a second “double bagel” inside a year. Sharapova started her run to the French Open title with a 6-0, 6-0 win over Alexandra Caduntu at Roland Garros last year. But she said the score line wasn’t really relevant. “If you win 7-6 in the third, you’ve still won the match,” she said. Sharapova withdrew from the Brisbane International earlier this month with an injured right collarbone, saying she wanted to concentrate on being fit for the season’s first major. She skipped the tournament last year, as well, before going on to reach the Australian Open final. Against Puchkova, she said, “I didn’t want to focus on the fact I hadn’t played a lot of matches.” Sharapova has a potential third-round match against Venus Williams, who needed just an hour for her opening 6-1, 6-0 win over Galina Voskoboeva of Kazakhstan. Williams played with power and determination and took command of the match early with a steady stream of winners and powerful serves. She skipped last year’s Australian Open due to illness and was warmly welcomed with applause as she entered the court. Venus Williams had the biggest jump of any of the top players in 2012, moving from outside the top 100 to finish the year at No. 24. The announcer told the

Serena is the strong favorite to win the Australian Open, heading into the tournament with 35 wins in her past 36 matches including titles at Wimbledon, the Olympics and the U.S. Open. No. 3-ranked Serena Williams is in the top half of the draw with defending champion Victoria Azarenka, and the pair won’t start until Tuesday. Novak Djokovic starts his bid to be the first man in

including the Detroit Red Wings at a roughly halffull suburban Detroit rink that has 3,504 seats. “It almost felt like Christmas, seeing everyone again and seeing everyone so excited to get going again,” Detroit defenseman Niklas Kronwall said. “It was a great feeling to see all the fans out there also.” More than 2,000 Philadelphia Flyers fans crammed into the team’s training facility in New Jersey and warmly welcomed the team back. “This warm reception makes us feel a little bit better about what happened to the fans and being out so long,” Flyers forward Scott Hartnell said. The Florida Panthers, Nashville Predators and Phoenix Coyotes planned

to have their first practices on Monday. There’s not much time to get ready for a 48-game sprint of a season all that could be salvaged from an 82-game slate that will start without anyone playing a preseason game and won’t get much rest. “Normally in a fiveweek training camp you get an opportunity to give everybody over eight exhibition games the power play, the penalty kill, everything to really show what they have,” Detroit coach Mike Babcock said. “That’s not going to happen.” Teams will play an average of 3.44 games per week, slightly more than the 48-game, lockoutshortened 1994-95 season, after playing 3.15 a week on average last season, according to STATS LLC.

His five-set, 5-hour, 53minute win over Rafael Nadal in the final last year has already been written into Australian Open folklore, and followed his titles at Melbourne Park in 2008 and 2011. “This is my most successful Grand Slam. But this Grand Slam is also known for a lot of surprises, players who have been reaching the final stages who are not expected to. We’ll see.

The top-ranked Djokovic shelved the conventional preparations for a while on the weekend, warming up for a shot at a third consecutive Australian title with a bit of weekend hit-andgiggle and a Gangnam Style dance with Serena Williams. That was for kids’ day, when thousands of people flocked to Rod Laver Arena to see 2012 Australian champions Djokovic and Azarenka hitting in a justfor-fun match with players
