Violence must be stopped

Stars come out for Globes The black-and-white silent film “The Artist” came away with the most prizes with three wins at the Golden Globes, but the show spread the love around among a broad range of films and TV shows. Wins for “The Artist” included best musical or comedy and best actor in a musical or comedy for Jean Dujardin, while the family drama “The Descendants” claimed two awards, as best drama and dramatic actor for George Clooney. See Page 8.

Ravens advance with victory over Texans The Baltimore Ravens didn’t just earn another home win.

They stole it away from the Houston Texans. Ed Reed sealed a 20-13 victory Sunday with Baltimore’s fourth takeaway, and when he finally limped off the field, the Ravens were assured their second trip to the AFC championship game in four seasons. See Page 14.

Conduct of ship’s captain questioned Maritime authorities, passengers and mounting evidence pointed Sunday toward the captain of a cruise liner that ran aground and capsized off the Tuscan coast, amid accusations that he abandoned ship before everyone was safely evacuated and was showing off when he steered the vessel far too close to shore.

Syria given ultimatum

by UN chief BEIRUT (AP) — The U.N. chief demanded Sunday that Syria’s president stop killing his own people and said the “old order” of one-man rule and family dynasties is over in the Middle East on a day when activists said 27 people died.

Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, delivering the keynote address at a conference in Beirut on democracy in the Arab world, said the revolutions of the Arab Spring show people will no longer accept tyranny.

so that we could do anything and be anything,� said Brandolyn Brown, 26, of Cheraw, S.C., who visited the memorial Saturday with her aunt and cousin. “I know it took a lot more than him to get to where we are, but he was a big part of the movement.�

Brown’s aunt, Gloria Drake, 60, of Cheraw, S.C., said she remembers King almost as though he was Moses leading his people to the promised land, even when there were so many reasons to doubt things would get better in an era of segregated buses, schools and lunch counters. “It was really just hostile,â€? she said. â€œâ€Ś And then we had a man that comes to tell us things are going to be better.â€? “Don’t be mad, don’t be angry,â€? she recalled King’s message. “Just come together in peace.â€?

They said King’s lasting legacy is the reality of equality and now having a black president. Drake said President Barack Obama reminds her of King with his “calmness� even in the face of anger.

Christine Redman, 37, visited the memorial with her husband, James Redman, 40, and their young son and daughter. She said they also feel a personal connection to King. “We’re a mixed family, and we know that without a lot of the trials that he went through to help end segregation and help the races to become one, we would not be able to have the freedoms to love who we want to love and be accepted in the world,� she said.

Her son, 8-year-old Tyler, echoed his mom: “And be who we want to be.�

The family tries to celebrate King’s birthday by finding a way to serve others, they said. They were thinking about volunteering at a food pantry or donating toys for needy kids.

When he thinks of King, James Redman said he thinks of hope.

Still, he said, King’s legacy is lost

said authorities have begun granting local and foreign media outlets approvals to work in Syria. It was not clear how many prisoners would be released.

Information Minister Adnan Mahmoud said the level of “incitement and distortion of facts� has doubled since some reporters were allowed in along with the Arab League observers who started work late last month.

Ban acknowledged challenges facing Arab states in the wake of the uprisings sweeping the Arab world, in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Syria. “It is sometimes said that authoritarian regimes, whatever else their faults, at least kept a lid on sectarian conflict. This is a cruel canard,�

Ban said in Beirut. “Yet it would be equally mistaken to assume that all of the new regimes now emerging will automatically uphold universal human rights,� he said. “Democracy is not easy,� he added. “It takes time and effort to build. It does not come into being with one or two elections. Yet there is no going back.�

He encouraged Arab countries to usher in real reforms and dialogue, and to respect the role of women and youth. “The old way, the old order, is crumbling,� Ban

accelerated. The U.N. says about 400 people have been killed in the last three weeks alone, on top of an earlier estimate of more than 5,000 killed since March.

The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and Syria’s state-run news agency SANA reported Sunday that at least five factory workers were killed when a roadside bomb detonated near the bus they were traveling in the town of Khan Sheikhoun in northern Syria.

The Observatory said 16 other people died in Syria Sunday, 11 of them in the restive central city of Homs.

The Local Coordination Committees activist network said 27 people were killed Sunday. The differing numbers could not be immediately reconciled.

Syria bans most foreign correspondents and limits movement. “The killings still continue and still there are people arrested,� said Arab League chief Nabil Elaraby in Bahrain. He said there will be a meeting of Arab foreign ministers at the end of the week in Cairo to decide on the next steps.

The U.N. chief also urged an end to Israeli occupation of Arab and Palestinian territories. “Settlements, new and old, are illegal. They work against the emergence of a viable Palestinian state.�

The foreign minister of Tunisia, which became the first Arab country to oust a dictator through a peaceful revolution one year ago, said there is no escape from the process of democratization and freedoms in the Arab world. “My message (to the Syrian regime) is to hear and to listen to the will of the people,� Rafik Abdessalem told APTN in an interview in Beirut Sunday.

On Saturday, the leader of Qatar was quoted as saying that Arab troops should be sent to Syria to stop a deadly crackdown on anti-government protests. Sheik Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani’s comments to CBS’ “60 Minutes,� which will be aired Sunday, are the first statements by an Arab leader calling for the deployment of troops inside Syria.

Excerpts of the interview were sent to The Associated Press by CBS on Saturday.

Qatar, which once had close relations with Damascus, has been a harsh critic of the crackdown by Assad’s regime. The wealthy and influential Gulf state withdrew its ambassador to Syria in the summer.

AREA BRIEFS

Volunteers to help prepare tax forms WEST MILTON — AARP volunteers will once again assist low- and middleincome taxpayers with preparing their income tax forms at the Milton-Union Public Library from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Tuesdays from Feb. 7 through April 17.

The volunteers have decided to begin tax preparation at 10:30 a.m. rather than the traditional 10 a.m. time so clients will be able to enter the library and not wait in the cold until the library opens at 10 a.m. This free tax service is specially geared toward taxpayers who are 60 years of age or older. Tax preparations are assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis. The library opens at 10 a.m., so the staff of the Milton-Union Public Library asks that people arriving before 10:30 a.m. try to avoid blocking the library’s entry for library patrons.

Federal and state tax forms, instructions, books and selected schedules are available at the library. Staff also can help patrons retrieve reproducible forms from the internet. West Milton city tax forms are available at the West Milton Municipal Offices or at www.hamiltoncity.org/tax.

The library is located at 560 S. Main St., West Milton, and is open from 10

a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday-Thursday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

For more information, visit the library, call (937) 698-5515 or go to www.mupubliclibrary.org.

Coffee and doughnut event set for Feb. 1 TROY — The Miami Valley Veterans Museum will host a free coffee and doughnut gathering from 9-11:30 a.m.

Feb. 1 at the Troy Masonic Temple, second floor, 107 W. Main St., which also is the location of the museum.

The featured speaker will be Ed Ball, U.S. Veterans Administration representative. He will discuss VA benefits and programs available to veterans and their families, with special emphasis on those who served in World War II, Korea and those who might have been exposed to agent orange.

The Miami Valley Veterans Museum will be open for visitation as well.

This, the second of the gatherings that will be held on the first Wednesday of every month. The gatherings, while focused on veterans’ experiences and concerns, are open to everyone.

For more information, call the museum at (937) 451-1455, visit the organization’s website at www.theyshallnotbeforgotten.org of find them on Facebook.

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP Albany (Ore.) Democrat-Herald on the Mount Rainier shooting: Would a sign saying “No Weapons” have stopped Benjamin Barnes from trying to hide out in Mount Rainier National Park?

Hard to believe, but some people think so.

You can see it now. The Iraq War veteran, who has had trouble adjusting to civilian life, has been involved in a shooting at a New Year’s party near Seattle.

Four people have been wounded, and now he is on the run.

He comes to a roadblock to check vehicles for chains and blows right through it.

Then he sees a sign. No weapons? Oh, man, he says (or words to that effect), slamming a fist on the steering wheel — and turns around to go back home.

Does anybody believe that?

Gingrich observed that the contest for the Republican presidential nomination was “not a campaign for senior class president, where it’s all a game.”

It certainly seems to have turned into one more and more with each successive presidential election. Candidates get graded on how they look, dress and act. The latest “insightful” critique?

Some pundits are suggesting that part of dark-horse candidate Rick Santorum’s appeal to Iowa caucusers who made him an eight-vote runner-up to former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney rested in the Pennsylvania senator’s choice of attire — V-neck sweater vests.

Meanwhile, TV commentators sound a lot more like the sports guys on ESPN than journalists as they try to handicap the campaigns, which may explain why television’s most trusted newsman these days is Jon Stewart of “The Daily Show.”

And we wonder how we can end up with jobs going overseas and a president and Congress whose respective job performances get dismal ratings.

The answer is simple.

We do it to ourselves.

LETTERS

It was too cold for school To the Editor: Could someone please explain to me why Troy City Schools was not closed this past Friday and there was no delay, either?

I understand the roads were not snowy or icy, but the wind chill factor was BELOW ZERO! While I understand that many children have the luxury of either riding the bus

to school or being dropped off by their parents, there also are a large number of children who were forced to walk to school in these conditions.

I also understand Troy has a limited number of calamity days it can use, but we managed to make it this far in the year without using one of them — I think we could have spared one.

And from my understanding, a simple delay to let things warm up a bit wouldn’t even have counted against the limit-

ed number of calamity days.

It was even more frustrating to flip on the television and see Miami East had a delay.

Well, at least one school district in Miami County got it right.

I’m guessing this will not be the last cold day we’ll see this winter.

Hopefully the next time things are this cold, someone will think of the children.

Take time to study things NOT related to Tebow The good news: I am not going to write a column about Tim Tebow. I felt obligated to mention his name, though, or else I would be the only writer in the universe who hasn’t written about him in the past month.

Now that we have that out of the way, we can get on to other things. It’s been cold and when it’s not cold it’s dreary so I have been spending a lot of time inside. For some reason, I have been reading stories about recent studies that have been released.

People always are doing studies about something, even if the subject hardly seems worth studying. I have a few examples I’d like to share with you: • Study says there really is a big difference between women and men. We’re not talking physical differences here, but emotional and psychological differences. What amazes me about this study is that someone wasted their time on it at all. I know there are experts who claim men and women are really alike, but apparently those experts never have given sticks to a little boy and a little girl and watch what they do with them. Maybe they should have done a study on why

David Lindeman Troy Daily News Columnist things that are so obvious apparently don’t seem so obvious to some people.

• Women talk three times as much as men. It’s pretty clear to me, although for equal time I have to reveal there also was a study that said men gossip more than women and have more trouble getting to the point of a conversation. You can believe what you want to believe — I know which one seems right to me, and I’m not going to say any more about it.

• Eating bacon or sausage every day can increase the risk of pancreatic cancer by 19 percent. It also probably will give you some other problems that your friends might notice, which is one reason why almost no one

— Mark Smith Troy

eats that much bacon or sausage.

I say eggs without bacon or sausage aren’t worth eating, so I’m still going to risk it once in a while.

• Women are 47 percent more likely to get hurt in an auto accident than men. No, it’s not because they get in more accidents, at least not according to this study. It’s because modern safety belts and harnesses are built for larger people, so smaller women tend to suffer more injuries because the safety features don’t work as well for them. Now that there are rules that children have to be in car seats until they go away to college, maybe short women should have to use booster seats. Maybe not.

• Then there’s the study entitled: “Cosmetics as a Feature of the Extended Human Phenotype: Modulation of the Perception of Biologically Important Facial Signals.” I don’t understand what that means. I don’t want to understand what that means. In fact, my face went into some odd facial signals when I stumbled onto the study, so we’ll just leave it at that.

• Students addicted to social

media. A University of Maryland study made this shocking conclusion. Glad to see the Brainiacs at the university needed a study to convince them of this. I think their next study should be, “Universities addicted to lame studies.”

• I also noticed some studies that apparently explained how being on the first page of a Google search increased the chances of being looked at by a large percentage, but since the studies didn’t show up until the third or fourth pages of my Google search, I didn’t click on them.

I can’t wait until the weather gets warmer so I can release my latest studies, “Grass More Likely to Grow in Spring than Winter,” “Percentage of Good Feelings Directly Linked to Better Weather” and “Most People Happy When Winter Ends.” Oh, and don’t forget, “Study Shows Tim Tebow More Talked About Than Any Other Left-Handed Quarterback.” I’m sure the results of these studies will be a real surprise.

OBITUARIES

Captain’s conduct blasted as divers find more dead igated so close to the dangerous reefs and rocks that jut off Giglio’s eastern coast, amid suspicions the captain may have ventured too close while carrying out a maneuver to entertain tourists on the island.

The ship’s owner, Costa Crociere SpA, issued a statement late Sunday saying it was working with investigators to determine “precisely what went wrong aboard the Costa Concordia.”

“While the investigation is ongoing, preliminary indications are that there may have been significant human error on the part of the ship’s master, Captain Francesco Schettino, which resulted in these grave consequences,” the statement said. “The route of the vessel appears to have been too close to the shore, and the captain’s judgment in handling the emergency appears to have not followed standard Costa procedures.”

Residents of Giglio said they had never seen the Costa come so close to the dangerous “Le Scole” reef area.

“This was too close, too close,” said Italo Arienti, a 54-year-old sailor who has worked on the Maregiglio ferry between Giglio and the mainland for more than a decade. Pointing to a nautical map, he drew his finger along the path the ship usually takes and the jarring one close to shore that it followed Friday.

DEATHS OF NATIONAL INTEREST • Charles Price II INDIAN WELLS, Calif.

(AP) — Charles Price II, a former U.S. ambassador to Great Britain who coordinated friendly relations between President Ronald Reagan and Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, has died in California, a family spokesman said Friday. He was 80.

Price, who also served as Reagan’s ambassador to Belgium, died Thursday night at his home in Indian Wells, family spokesman Michael Landes told The Associated Press. Landes said the family had asked him not to immediately release the cause of death.

Price was a friend of the Reagans and Thatcher, who he worked with in the aftermath of the 1988 Lockerbie airplane bombing in Scotland. Price toured the crash site and attended memorials with the prime minister for the 259 victims.

cutor confirmed Sunday they were also investigating allegations the captain abandoned the stricken liner before all the passengers had escaped. According to the Italian navigation code, a captain who abandons a ship in danger can face up to 12 years in prison.

A French couple who boarded the Concordia in Marseille, Ophelie Gondelle and David Du Pays, told the Associated Press they saw the captain in a lifeboat, covered by a blanket, well before all the passengers were off the ship.

“The commander left before and was on the dock before everyone was off,” said Gondelle, 28, a French military officer.

“Normally the commander should only leave at the end,” said Du Pays, a police officer who said he helped an injured passenger to a rescue boat. “I did what I could.”

Coast Guard officers later spotted Schettino on land as the evacuation unfolded. The officers urged him to return to his ship and honor his duty to stay aboard until everyone was safely off the vessel, but he ignored them, Coast Guard Cmdr.

Francesco Paolillo said.

Schettino insisted he didn’t leave the liner early, telling Mediaset television that he had done everything he could to save lives. “We were the last ones to leave the ship,” he said.

Questions also swirled about why the ship had nav-

GIGLIO, Italy (AP) — Maritime authorities, passengers and mounting evidence pointed Sunday toward the captain of a cruise liner that ran aground and capsized off the Tuscan coast, amid accusations that he abandoned ship before everyone was safely evacuated and was showing off when he steered the vessel far too close to shore.

Divers searching the murky depths of the partially submerged Costa Concordia found the bodies of two elderly men still in their life jackets, bringing the confirmed death toll to five. At least 15 people were still missing, including two Americans.

The recovered bodies were discovered at an emergency gathering point near the restaurant where many of the 4,200 on board were dining when the luxury liner struck rocks or a reef off the tiny island of Giglio. The Italian news agency ANSA reported the dead were an Italian and a Spaniard.

Still, there were glimmers of hope: The rescue of three survivors, a young South Korean couple on their honeymoon and a crew member brought to shore in a dramatic airlift some 36 hours after the grounding late Friday.

Meanwhile, attention focused on the captain, who was spotted by Coast Guard officials and passengers fleeing the scene even as the chaotic and terrifying evacuation was under way.

The ship’s Italian owner, a subsidiary of Carnival Cruise lines, issued a statement late Sunday saying there appeared to be “significant human error” on the part of the captain, Francesco Schettino, “which resulted in these grave consequences.”

Authorities were holding Schettino for suspected manslaughter and a prose-

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Express your concerns to the program administrator Dear Annie: Four months ago, I joined a nonprofit that provides free tutoring and homework help to elementary-school kids. When I started, the kids coming into our center were from low-income minority and immigrant families.

These were kids who would be home alone all afternoon if they didn't come to us.

A few weeks ago, the demographic shifted. A large number of kids from stable, affluent families began arriving at the center. The parents of these children own property in an area that is quickly gentrifying.

This nonprofit is meant for kids whose families really need it. I feel as if I'm providing free babysitting and tutoring for kids whose parents could afford to pay for such services. What do you think?

— New Yorker Dear N.Y.: You should discuss this with the administrators of the program. Perhaps there could be an income-based tuition or in-kind contribution so that families that can afford it would help support the center. Either way, consider that these higher-income kids are getting valuable lessons in diversity, and some of them might also be home alone if the center didn't exist. As long as the original students are not losing their places in the program to higher-income children, you are performing a useful and appreciated service to the community.

Dear Annie: There have been so many letters in your column about women not wanting sex.

How about hearing the other side?

I am a 57-year-old man, married for 25 years. Overall, it's a good marriage, except I am not interested in sex with my wife.

She has gained 100 pounds. I lost weight myself and had to fight her every step of the way. Seven years ago, I bought her an expensive exercise machine that she said she wanted, even though she never uses it. She gets offended when I encourage dieting or exercise. She has had some major health issues, and when she decided she only wanted to work part time, it forced me to work overtime. I stood by her through all this.

I am now semi-retired, and money is an issue. A couple of months ago, she began pressuring me, asking what's wrong that I don't want sex. When I finally told her it is her weight, she didn't speak to me for two days. She thinks we need counseling, but I am concerned that she would hear only what she wanted to hear.

I have had opportunities to cheat but asked myself each time whether the available woman was worth losing half my house and half my pension. So far, the answer has been no. But I don't know for how long. — Kansas Dear Kansas: We think there is also some resentment behind your reluctance to be intimate with your wife. We understand that you don't believe counseling would help, but please try nonetheless. It could bring insight, as well as suggestions to improve the situation, and that surely has to be better than what you have now.

Dear Annie: You printed a letter from "Noisy Dog Next Door," whose neighbors' dog barked for hours on end.

Our neighbors have four dogs that also bark nonstop. We mentioned it to them several times.

They apologized, but nothing changed. We hesitated to call the neighborhood association, because everyone would know we were the ones complaining.

We finally stumbled on a solution last summer. We set up a tower fan to help lower the cost of cooling our home and discovered it also drowns out the sound of the barking. We now run the fan 12 months a year. — Memphis, Tenn.

Dear Memphis: We're not sure that would work as well in Minnesota as it does in Tennessee, but thanks for the idea.

SATURDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Putting lipstick in freezer is not recommended Dear Heloise: A friend told me to put my lipsticks in the freezer for 24 hours to kill bacteria. Any advice? — A Reader, via email Hmmm — I’ve never heard of this, and really don’t know what your worry is! Several major lipstick manufacturers said there was no information available about bacteria and lipstick. Also, none of them recommended putting lipstick in the freezer.

Lipstick contains water, and water can be a carrier of bacteria, so there is a remote possibility for your lipstick containing germs, but it’s really a slim chance.

Hints from Heloise Columnist Most importantly, do not share your lipstick or any makeup! — Heloise FAST FACTS Dear Readers: Here are some handy uses for baking soda: • Deodorize carpet.

• Use on a stainless-steel sink to clean.

• Sprinkle in ashtrays to reduce smoke smell.

• Use instead of toothpaste.

• Use as a clothes-hamper or diaper-pail deodorizer.

Don’t you love how versatile baking soda is?

For more money-saving hints on how to use baking soda, order my pamphlet Heloise’s Baking Soda Hints and Recipes.

Send $5 and a long, selfaddressed, stamped (65 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Baking Soda, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. I use baking soda as a mild body scrub for elbows and feet, with either

a drop of liquid soap or hair shampoo. — Heloise BOOKS TO GO Dear Heloise: My daughter reads a lot of books for school. She always wants to talk about them and sometimes needs help with the assignments.

Unfortunately, I have a busy schedule and don’t have the time to read them all.

I can usually find the books on CD at my library.

I listen to them in the car when I am out and about.

Now, I can help my daughter when needed and enjoy the books myself. — D.B. in Arizona

ARLO AND JANIS

HOROSCOPE Monday, Jan. 16, 2012 The very goals you considered to be special are likely to be relegated to the rear ranks in the year ahead, replaced by some new targets that you’ll deem both potentially profitable and more exciting.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Unless you are extremely mindful of your behavior at a social gathering, a sensitive friend might misread what you say or how you act and end up with hurt feelings.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Being impulsive or too restless could be the precursor of unsound reasoning. It could cause you to make some unwise changes in situations that are running smoothly.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — If you want to make a good impression on others, the last thing you should do is boast about or embellish your achievements. Nothing turns others off faster than a braggart.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Don’t count your chickens before they’re hatched, because financial trends might not be what you think they are.

Believing you can get the funds isn’t the same as having them in your hot little hands.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Usually you’re bright enough not to succumb to flattery, but someone who is a master at compliments is likely to get you to lower your guard. Watch out when they try to take advantage.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — There’s only a ghost of a chance that you’ll be able to achieve what you set out to do, mostly because you’ll be too busy handling things for others.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Just because someone is intriguing is no reason to get too deeply involved too quickly. He or she might have lots of charm but little substance.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Bank only on yourself and not on Lady Luck to help you achieve a complicated objective. Chances are, when you need her the most she’ll be cavorting elsewhere.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — To assuage your ego, you might pretend to be knowledgeable about something and suffer extreme embarrassment when asked to school others on that particular subject.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — It behooves you to avoid involvements with those who are careless and/or extravagant with their finances. You might have to cough up their share when they can’t pay.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — In order to avoid a future misunderstanding, you should make sure all agreements are negotiated with extreme care. All participants must know the ground rules and be willing to follow them.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — It’s not a good idea to pretend to have taken care of something when you clearly haven’t, thinking you won’t get caught. You can bet your bottom dollar you will.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 16, 1912, a day before reaching the South Pole, British explorer Robert Scott and his expedition were bitterly disappointed to find evidence in the form of a rock cairn and dog sled tracks showing that Roald Amundsen of Norway and his team had gotten there ahead of them. (Scott and his party perished during the

• In 1978, NASA named 35 candidates to fly on the space shuttle, including Sally K. Ride, who became America’s first woman in space, and Guion S. Bluford Jr., who became America’s first black astronaut in space.

• Five years ago: Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., launched his successful bid for the White House.

• Today’s Birthdays: Hall of Fame auto racer A.J. Foyt is 77.

Country singer Ronnie Milsap is 69. Movie director John Carpenter is 64. Actress-dancer-choreographer Debbie Allen is 62.

return trip.)

On this date: • In 1547, Ivan IV of Russia (popularly known as “Ivan the Terrible”) was crowned czar.

• In 1920, Prohibition began in the United States as the 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution took effect, one year to the day after its ratification. (It was later repealed by the 21st Amendment.)

• In 1944, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower took command of the Allied Expeditionary Forces in London.

‘The Artist’ makes a loud noise at Golden Globes actress as Margaret Thatcher in “The Iron Lady,” her eight win at the Globes.

Williams won for actress in a musical or comedy as Marilyn Monroe in “My Week with Marilyn,” 52 years after Monroe’s win for the same prize at the Globes. Dujardin won for musical or comedy actor for the silent film “The Artist.”

The supporting-acting Globes went to Plummer as an elderly widower who comes out as gay in the father-son drama “Beginners” and Spencer as a brassy housekeeper joining other black maids to share stories about life with their white employers in the 1960s Deep South tale “The Help.”

“With regard to domestics in this country, now and then, I think Dr. King said it best:

Introducing...

‘All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance.’ And I thank you for recognizing that with our film,” Spencer said.

Scorsese won for the Paris adventure “Hugo.” It was the third directing Globe in the last 10 years for Scorsese, who previously won for “Gangs of New York” and “The Departed” and received the show’s Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement two years ago.

He won over a field of contenders that included Michel Hazanavicius, who had been considered by many in Hollywood as a favorite for his black-and-white silent film “The Artist.”

Williams offered thanks for giving her the same award Monroe once won and joked that her young daughter put up with bedtime stories for six months spoken in Monroe’s voice.

“I consider myself a mother first and an actress second,

3 NEW

so the person I most want to thank is my daughter, my little girl, whose bravery and exuberance is the example I take with me in my work and my life,” Williams said.

Dujardin became the first star in a silent film to earn a major Hollywood prize since the early days of film. He won as a silent-era star whose career unravels amid the rise of talking pictures in the late 1920s.

It’s a breakout role in Hollywood for Dujardin, a star back home in France but little known to U.S. audiences previously. His French credits include “The Artist” creator Michel Hazanavicius’ spy spoofs “OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies” and “OSS 117: Lost in Rio.” “The Artist,” which led the Globes with six nominations, also won the musical-score prize for composer Ludovic Bource but lost out on three other awards, including the screenplay prize for Michel

star sexpot just a couple of years before “Some Like It Hot.” The film chronicles Monroe’s contentious time shooting the 1957 romance “The Prince and the Showgirl” alongside exasperated director and co-star Laurence Olivier.

Like Monroe, Oscar consideration has been elusive for the 82-year-old Plummer, who has been nominated for Hollywood’s top honor only once in his 60-year career two years ago, for the Leo Tolstoy drama “The Last Station.”

“I must praise my distinguished competitors, who whom I have the greatest admiration and to whom I apologize most profusely,” said Plummer, who added warm regards to “Beginners” star and Scottish actor Ewan McGregor. “I want to salute my partner, Ewan, that wily Scot, Ewan ‘My Heart’s in the Highlands’ McGregor, that scene-stealing swine from the outer Hebrides.”

Hazanavicius.

Woody Allen won the screenplay honor for his romantic fantasy “Midnight in Paris,” the filmmaker’s biggest hit in decades. Never a fan of movie awards, Allen was a no-show at the Globes, where he previously won the screenplay honor for 1985’s “The Purple Rose of Cairo.

The wins boost Williams, Spencer and Plummer’s prospects for slots at next month’s Academy Awards, whose nominations come out Jan. 24.

The Oscars are an honor for which Monroe herself never was nominated, though she was a two-time nominee at the Globes and won for best actress in a musical or comedy for 1959’s “Some Like It Hot.” In “My Week with Marilyn,” Williams plays Monroe as an insecure performer struggling to establish herself as a genuine actress rather than a movie

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The black-and-white silent film “The Artist” came away with the most prizes with three wins at the Golden Globes, but the show spread the love around among a broad range of films and TV shows.

Wins for “The Artist” included best musical or comedy and best actor in a musical or comedy for Jean Dujardin, while the family drama “The Descendants” claimed two awards, as best drama and dramatic actor for George Clooney.

Other acting winners were Meryl Streep, Michelle Williams, Christopher Plummer, and Octavia Spencer, while Martin Scorsese earned the directing honor.

Martin Luther King Martin Luther King Jr. was born in Atlanta, Georgia in the large 12-room house of his parents on Jan. 15, 1929.

His grandparents also lived in the house.

He was born during a time when black people did not have the rights which they have today. M.L., as he was called, first experienced racial discrimination when their white neighbors refused to let him play with their boys.

This was hard for him to understand because the boys had grown up as neighbors and had played together for years.

At a later time he and his father were asked to move to the back of a shoe store to be fitted with shoes. They left without buying anything. These early incidents made a deep impression on the young boy.

When he was five years old his mother persuaded the first grade teacher, Miss Dickerson, to make room for him in her class. Even though he started several weeks after the other children, he soon caught up with them academically and even surpassed them before the year was over.

He attended Oglethorpe Elementary School, which was a private school associated with Atlanta University. His parents paid $25 a year, which covered all his expenses. Miss Lemon, his teacher taught him to be independent. She taught him if there was an injustice, he could rebel, but still keep his dignity and find quiet ways to resist. She inspired her students to learn about black history and take pride in their heritage. She took the class on field trips to visit with successful black businessmen and professionals. Her students started each day by singing the song, Lift Every Voice and Sing.

He attended Booker T. Washington High School in Atlanta. He was younger than most of the students and also skipped some subjects because he already knew the subject matter.

On one occasion he and his teacher were riding on a bus. When the bus filled up with people, the driver asked them to stand up and let two white people have their seats. It was the law. Martin saw the injustice of it, and he never forgot that incident.

When he was 15 years old he entered Morehouse College. After two years in school he decided he could best serve others by becoming a min-

ister. He became assistant minister of the Ebenezer Baptist church where his father was minister. The following year he graduated from college. He was only 19 years old.

He then attended Crozer Theological Seminary in Chester, Pennsylvania. While he was at Crozer he began to study the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi, a man who brought about changes in India through "passive resistance." Gandhi urged people to not fight, but to protest peacefully.

Martin saw this method of non-violent resistance as the answer to the unfair treatment blacks received in America.

When he was a senior at Crozer he was elected class president and also won an award as the most outstanding student.

He worked on his Ph.D. at Boston University. It was there he met Coretta Scott who would become his wife. They would eventually have four children; two boys and two girls. When he graduated from Boston University he became the minister of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama.

Blacks and whites were segregated in Montgomery, attending different schools and sitting in separate sections on buses. Sometimes blacks would be forced to stand on a bus even though there were empty seats in the "white" section at the front of the bus. On Dec. 1, 1955, Mrs. Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a bus. The police were called and she was arrested. This event led to a revolt all over America.

E.D. Nixon, who was a train porter, bailed Rosa out of jail, and he started contacting others about starting a boy-

cott of the buses. "Boycott" means they would refuse to ride the buses until they received fair treatment. The newspapers heard of the plan and wrote an article. This article was very helpful in getting the word out about the boycott.

The black leaders were asking for courteous treatment from the drivers and seating on a first-come, firstserved basis, with whites filling the buses from the front of the bus and blacks from the rear. No one was to be asked to give up a seat for someone else. They also wanted black drivers in the areas where they lived.

The boycott lasted for more than a year and they walked, rode bicycles, and rode in car pools to get to work. In December 1956, the Supreme Court ruled that bus segregation was unlawful.

In 1957, Dr. King helped establish the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) and he became its president.

Black students began to stage "sitins" at lunch counters. Up until this time they had been forbidden food service at eating places.

Then the "freedom riders" began riding buses from state to state and doing "sit-ins" at lunch counters and "white" waiting rooms. The Jim Crow laws that said blacks were to be denied certain rights began to be challenged in many cities in America.

Peaceful marches were organized and people were arrested because they were taking part. Even little children were sprayed with water hoses and arrested! On Aug. 28, 1963, Martin Luther King and other leaders led a march into Washington, D.C. More than 200,000 people marched from the Washington Monument to the Lincoln Memorial. It was here Dr. King delivered his "I Have a Dream" message.

In 1964, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in Norway. He gave the $54,000 prize money to the civil rights groups, which were working to secure the rights blacks deserved.

Dr. King was put in jail 30 times for his resistance. Some people tried to kill him. Then on April 4, 1968, a gunman did murder him in Memphis, Tennessee. His widow Coretta Scott King passed away Jan, 30, 2006.

Many changes have taken place in America because of the leadership of Martin Luther King. In 1986, when Ronald Reagan was president, Congress passed a law establishing a national holiday, Martin Luther King Day.

Freedom To Vote Opinion Essay Contest Winner Camryn Moeller Grade 6 — St. Patrick In my opinion, I think voting is important. It lets us Americans give our opinion on who should be in charge of our city/town, our state, or our country. I just read the Daily Discovery and there is one sentence I absolutely agree to. “Voting makes us equal.”

Voting gives us a chance to tell our opinion. Voting affects our life.

Some Americans think voting is unnecessary but I think we should just be glad that we have the right to vote.

Austin Erisman had two

assists in the win, while Will Schober, Clawson and Terrill each added one.

The Trojans won the faceoff battle, winning 33 to Evanston’s 15.

“For three quarters, the game was even,” Troy coach Nathan Kopp said. “That 25-7 run in the second really hurt us. We couldn’t handle the pressure and we had a bunch of turnovers, and that really proved to be the difference in the game.”

Tori Merrell led the Trojans with 10 points and seven rebounds.

“Centerville is a 10-2 team,” Kopp said. When you shoot 11 for 40 from the field and go 8 for 20 from the foul line, it’s really tough to beat a team like

Vikings ■ CONTINUED FROM 14 “This is hoop dreams.

This is what it’s all about for kids from Casstown,” Miami East coach Allen Mack said. “The kids are just thrilled to death to have a chance to play here for one, and to make a big play at the end to win it.

X’s-and-O’s kind of go out the window when you are going down to the final stretch. The kids played hard til the last buzzer and we were fortunate to pull this one out.”

Playing against a Fairmont team that has advanced to the Division I District Finals in three of the last five seasons, the Vikings stayed resilient, finally taking its first lead STAFF PHOTO/COLIN FOSTER of the game at 26-25 when Miami East’s Luke Clark dribbles through the Gunner Shirk, who scored Fairmont defense during a game at the Flyin’ to the eight points and added Hoop Tournament Sunday at Trent Arena in Kettering. eight rebounds, got an

offensive board and put in a layup just before the end of the third quarter.

In a first quarter dominated by defense, Fairmont caused problems for the East offense, forcing five turnovers and jumping out to an 8-4 lead.

Then in the second, Coomes got going, toughing his way through the paint and getting to the line, scoring the first six East points of the quarter to bring the Vikings within a point. After Fairmont pushed the lead to 14-10, Shirk made a layup and drew a foul, converting on the free throw to cut the score to 14-13. But a 3pointer by Jacob Roalef with time running down the quarter put the Firebirds up 17-13 at half.

“Fairmont’s defense is definitely very physical,

and we knew that coming down here,” Mack said.

“We’ve seen a couple teams play that physical, like Troy and Versailles and a couple other teams.

It took us a little bit to adjust. A couple of our kids were really keyed up at the beginning of the game, but once they got in the flow they were alright.”

A.J. Hickman got the Viking offense rolling in the third, hitting back-toback turnaround jumpers in the paint to tie the score at 19-19 — the first time East knotted the score since the first quarter.

Hickman ended the game with eight points.

The Vikings held on to win the game despite having a rough-go at the foul line in the fourth, going just 2 for 8 during that

stretch. East went 10 for 18 at the line for the game.

“Fairmont has a really good team,” Mack said.

“Just in the last week, they have beaten Alter in overtime and they beat Troy on Tuesday. This is a special win for us.”

The Vikings (11-2, 6-0 Cross County Conference) play Newton on Friday.

Giants once again spoil Packers season at Lambeau GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — For Eli Manning and the New York Giants, Lambeau Field has become a familiar launching pad. After beating the Green Bay Packers at home for the second time in four years, they only hope this trip ends the same way at the Super Bowl.

Manning threw three touchdown passes and the Giants shocked the Packers 37-20 in an NFC divisional playoff game Sunday.

Manning threw for 330 yards, sending the Giants to San Francisco for the NFC championship game next Sunday night.

The Packers might have been the reigning Super Bowl champs, but the Giants might be the hottest team in the NFL. “I think we’re a dangerous team,” Giants coach Tom Coughlin said. “I like where we are and how we’re playing.”

The Giants stunned the Packers with a touchdown off a long heave from Manning to Hakeem Nicks just before halftime, then knocked them out with a late touchdown off a turnover. Lambeau Field fell silent as the Giants swarmed the field in celebration, with a handful of New York fans chanting, “Let’s go, Giants!”

The win came four years after the Giants beat a Brett Favre-led Packers team in the NFC title game.

It wasn’t nearly as frigid this time around, and the Packers’ vulnerable defense seemed to be waiting to get

Manning found six different receivers against a porous Packers defense.

But Manning did the most damage with his throws to Nicks, who caught seven passes for 165 yards and two touchdowns.

Nicks’ biggest play was a 66-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter. His score at the end of the half came on a 37-yard pass into the end zone with defenders all around.

“It was a big momentum play for them, but we were not deflated as a football team,” Packers coach Mike McCarthy said.

The Giants’ defense also was able to defuse the bigplay abilities of Aaron Rodgers and the Packers’

defense.

Rodgers was 26 of 46 for 264 yards, with two touchdowns and an interception.

He also was the Packers’ leading rusher with 66 yards on seven carries.

Meanwhile, the Packers’ past problems with dropped balls by their talented group of wide receivers returned at the worst time imaginable.

And while the Packers’ defense has been porous all season, giving up far too many yards and big plays, they’ve typically made up for it by forcing turnovers.

This time, the Packers were the ones giving the ball away.

Green Bay lost three fumbles, including one on a rare giveaway by Rodgers.

The Giants also sacked Rodgers four times.

With the Packers trailing 20-10 at halftime but finally beginning to look like themselves on offense to start the second half, Osi Umenyiora swatted the ball away from Rodgers, and Deon Grant recovered the fumble at the Green Bay 37.

But the mistake didn’t cost the Packers points, and Green Bay cut the lead to seven points on a 35-yard field goal by Mason Crosby late in the third quarter.

The Packers put together another drive early in the fourth quarter, but Michael Boley and Umenyiora combined to sack Rodgers on fourthand-5 in Giants territory.

Walter, Drew Morgan, Stang, Tiderington, Loerke, Beaty and Erisman.

Jake Eldridge had 15 saves in goal in a game where Troy outshot its

opponent 43-16.

“We played a great three games this weekend,” Walters said. “The guys are bringing back some hardware, which will be placed

in the trophy case at school. If we keep this up, we will finish the season strong.”

Troy hosts Beavercreek at 4:15 p.m. Saturday.

The Patriots lead the series 6-1, but Baltimore’s lone win came in the postseason.

The Ravens have been in the playoffs for four years running, but this

was their first home game since 2006. It was anything but easy.

Baltimore forced two turnovers in the first quarter in building a 17-3 lead thanks to touchdown passes by Joe Flacco, and interceptions by Lardarius Webb and Reed in the fourth quarter helped the advantage stand up.
