Employment surges in January Jobless rate drops to 8.3 percent
Soccer deaths bring new cycle of violence Protesters filled the streets and clashed for a second day Friday with police who fired tear gas and birdshot in Cairo, as a deadly soccer riot focused rising public anger over lawlessness and collapsing security a year after Egypt’s uprising. See
WASHINGTON (AP) — In a long-awaited surge of hiring, companies added 243,000 jobs in January across the economy, up and down the pay scale and far more than just about anyone expected. Unemployment fell to 8.3 percent, the lowest in three years.
The job growth was the fastest since last March and April. Before that, the last month with stronger hiring, excluding months skewed by temporary census jobs, was March 2006. The unemployment rate came down by two notches from December. It has fallen five
months in a row, the first time that has happened since 1994, two economic booms and two recessions ago. “The economy is growing stronger,” President Barack Obama said. “The recovery is speeding up.” Indeed, the report Friday from
the Labor Department seemed to reinforce that the nation is entering a virtuous cycle, a reinforcing loop in which stronger hiring leads to more consumer spending, which leads to even more hiring and spending. On Wall Street, where investors had already driven stocks to their best start in 15 years because of

Coaches take the Giants Miami County’s football experts have made their Super Bowl picks — which could be bad news for the New York Giants. By a slim 5-4 margin, Miami County’s high school football coaches have predicted the Giants will defeat the Patriots in today’s Super Bowl. Historically speaking, that could be a huge problem for the Giants. In three of the last four years, Miami County football coaches were asked to predict a Super Bowl winner — and have gone a combined 5-17 in their selections.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Less than a year ago, Tom Brady, Logan Mankins, Osi Umenyiora and seven other players filed an antitrust suit against the NFL, a key moment in a convoluted and contentious labor dispute between the union and league that threatened to cut short or even wipe out the 2011 season.

four. A Republican, Dobbins isn’t certain that President Barack Obama is to blame for the joblessness and frustration that pervades Nevada. But he is fed up with an economy that has reduced his suburban home on the desert’s edge to a liability. Only four years after he bought it, it’s worth $80,000 less than he paid for it. It’s a story that echoes across the mountains, plateaus and deserts of this battleground state. And this single-minded focus on the economy is sure to dominate the general election in November, when Obama will have to defend his jobcreation policies against the eventual GOP nominee in a state where Democrats
barely outnumber Republicans and independents decide elections. Nationally, the unemployment rate dropped last month to 8.3. But in Nevada, there has been little improvement after a record economic bust that saw bustling construction sites abandoned and master-planned communities overtaken by foreclosures. The unemployment rate was 12.6 in December, compared with 8.7 when Obama won the state in 2008. “This is a very tough time for the people of Nevada,” GOP front-runner Mitt Romney said while campaigning in Las Vegas on Thursday. So tough, in fact, that the former Massachusetts governor

Nothing, it seems, can get in the way of the NFL, whose ratings and revenues climb and climb, no matter what. Indeed, some say both those issues managed to push even more attention and money the league’s way. Put simply, the NFL has the Midas Touch. “The uncertainty of the lockout ‘Will it be settled? When will the deal come? Will it happen?’ created a sense of anticipation for the new season. It fed into the public’s awareness of the NFL. Even the concussion stories helped, because the public has become aware of the issue and is watching games to see how the rules are enforced, to see how the game changes,” said Neal Pilson, a former president of CBS Sports who now runs a media consulting firm. “They talk about it Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and they watch

are rooting for loses, you may be the winner of a 50inch plasma flat screen TV. Each chance to win is $2 per ticket. The raffle takes place at half-time of the game and the winner does not need to be present to win. “We’re going to offer all our usual specials,” said Josh McGrath, manager. “We’ve got a comfortable, laid-back atmosphere with six flat-screen TVs to watch the game and have a good time.”
• Continued from 1 optimism about the economy, the jobs report triggered a spasm of buying. The Dow Jones industrial average climbed 156.82 points, its secondbest showing this year, and finished the day at 12,862.23, its highest close since May 2008, four months before the financial crisis struck. The Nasdaq composite index finished at its highest level since December 2000, during a steep decline after the dot-com stock craze. Money poured out of bonds, which are considered less risky than stocks, and bond yields rose. “Virtually every economist on the planet had expected a drop in the rate of job gains in January, which makes today’s upward surprise even more surprising,” Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at the brokerage BTIG, said in a note to clients. In December,
it on Sunday,” Pilson said. “The more separate issues related to the NFL that become part of the public discourse feed into the audiences.” NFL games accounted for 23 of the 25 mostwatched telecasts last fall, and a total of 37 games drew at least 20 million viewers each. That, Pilson says, is at least in part a result of the country’s financial state. After all, what’s cheaper than plopping down on the couch to watch a game? “Sports is, to a certain extent, recession-proof. You can see a sports event 10 different ways: on television, on your laptop, on your iPad, on your mobile phone, in bars and restaurants, in airports. There’s no other entertainment property that is so ubiquitous,” Pilson said. “When the economy went south, guess what? Americans stayed home, made a single investment in hi-definition television and watched sports. And what they watch more than anything is the NFL.” The last two Super Bowls were the two mostviewed programs in U.S. television history.
ued to shed jobs in 2011. More than half of the construction jobs that employed hundreds of thousands in 2006 no longer exist. Home values are still dropping and commercial building permits have ground to a halt. “We are moving out of the slump we’ve been in, but it’s going to be bumpy,” said Bob Potts, an economic researcher with the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. “Now what we are waiting for is jobs.” Romney and his opponents Texas Rep. Ron Paul, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, all have emphasized their economic plans as they campaign ahead of today’s contest.
203,000 jobs were created. The impressive jobs report reverberated through the presidential campaign and could improve Obama’s re-election prospects. The drop in the unemployment rate put it exactly where it was in February 2009, the month after Obama took office. In Arlington, Va., the president argued that now was no time to let a 2-percentage-point cut in the Social Security payroll tax expire, as it will if Congress doesn’t take action by the end of the month. The tax cut reaches 160 million Americans. Of the economic recovery, he said: “We’ve got to do everything in our power to keep it going. We can’t go back to the policies that led to the recession, and we can’t let Washington stand in the way of the recovery.” His Republican foes used the numbers to argue that the pace of improvement was not good enough.
“We can do better,” said former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, the Republican front-runner. “These numbers cannot hide the fact that President Obama’s policies have prevented a true economic recovery.” Unemployment was 6.8 percent when Obama was elected, 7.8 percent when he was sworn in and 10 percent, its recent peak, nine months later. No president since World War II has won re-election with unemployment higher than 7.2 percent. The job gains in January were widespread: The professional services category, which includes high-paying jobs like architects, accountants and engineers, added 70,000 jobs, the most in 10 months. The category also includes temporary workers. Manufacturing added 50,000 jobs, the most in a year, and the beleaguered construction industry added 21,000.

Another Piquad, Peggy Henthorn, the regional manager of the Miami Valley Centre Mall, also is working at the NFL Experience, which is being held in the village leading up to the game. Henthorn’s son graduated with Francony. The Indianapolis police officer said the crowds around the stadium are unlike anything he has ever witnessed. “It’s shoulder to shoulder,” Francony said. “We have already broken the record (for most people attending the NFL Experience).” While Francony takes his job seriously, he says he
can’t believe he has been given this unique opportunity to be associated with the Super Bowl and has been overwhelmed with the number of celebrities and star athletes he has seen in the days leading up to the big game between the New England Patriots and the New York Giants. “I just keep telling myself that this is a oncein-a-lifetime thing,” he said. “How often are you going to be able to tell your grandkids that you worked at the Super Bowl?” Lucas Oil Field, where the Super Bowl is being held, stands a good chance at perhaps becoming one of the stadiums in the Super Bowl rotation, and if that’s the case, Francony said he would jump at the chance to do it again in the future.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — In Nevada, people could once buy homes and feed their families with money earned from free-spending tourists who flocked to Sin City for relaxed gambling and liquor laws. But things have changed dramatically in the four years since the White House race last came to this state. Now, Nevadans are struggling with the highest foreclosure and unemployment rates in the nation, their woes creating a dour landscape as Republican candidates compete for votes ahead of today’s GOP caucuses. “Unemployment is such a big problem here.

ANALYSIS
Romney proves he’s tough and adaptable WASHINGTON (AP) — Mitt Romney’s resounding win in the Florida GOP primary is a warning shot to any Democrats who think the former Massachusetts governor will be a soft target. Romney and his advisers showed dexterity, smarts and toughness in retooling his campaign within hours of his stinging loss in South Carolina on Jan. 21. Romney followed the revised roadmap to a tee. He shredded Newt Gingrich in Florida’s two debates, leaving the former House speaker fuming and flailing in the campaign’s closing days. He summoned a host of prominent Republicans to denounce Gingrich. And he regained his image as the person best positioned to take on President Barack Obama this fall. Democrats “like to comfort themselves with the thought that a competitive campaign will leave us divided and weak,” a buoyant Romney told the crowd celebrating his victory Tuesday night. “But I’ve got news for them: A competitive primary does not divide us. It prepares us. And we will win!” There is still plenty of time for things to go wrong for Romney. Gingrich might resuscitate his campaign, as he did after his Iowa collapse, although GOP insiders say the odds are not good. If Romney does become the nominee, his highly negative campaign tactics may hurt him among independent voters. And Obama might do a much better job of hitting Romney’s record at Bain Capital and his switches on key policies over the years. But the smug comments by some Democrats who said Romney is soft, untested and unable to take a punch have been obliterated. “It feels like Mitt Romney’s campaign has passed a crucial test and become the kind of campaign we’re going to need to defeat Barack Obama in the fall,” said longtime Republican strategist Terry Holt. The most impressive thing about Romney’s Florida win is how quickly his team shifted gears after his embarrassing 12 percentage point loss to Gingrich in South Carolina. Romney’s team hatched a new strategy hours before the loss was official: Romney would get meaner to make Gingrich madder. Romney immediately agreed to focus his main attacks on Gingrich, not Obama. He would highlight touchy subjects such as Gingrich’s wellpaid consulting work for Freddie Mac (NYSE:FRE) , the governmentsponsored mortgage lender that some Floridians blame for their state’s housing crisis. The new, tougher Romney made a dramatic debut Jan. 23, at a debate in Tampa. He ripped into Gingrich from the opening bell, saying the former speaker “had to resign in disgrace” in 1998, only to become “an influence-peddler in Washington.” Gingrich, who had re-energized his campaign with two fiery debates in South Carolina, seemed taken aback and unsure how to respond. Romney was even more sure-footed in Thursday’s debate in Jacksonville. He seemed better prepared, more focused and more aggressive than Gingrich at nearly every turn. Romney’s research staff had handed him a crucial bit of information shortly before the forum. Earlier that day, Gingrich had rebuked Romney for owning shares of Freddie Mac. Romney’s staff quickly found similar holdings in Gingrich’s financial disclosures. When Romney confronted his rival with the fact on the debate stage, Gingrich was left speechless. Romney’s team of advisers, including Stuart Stevens and new debate coach Brett O’Donnell, showed the type of flexibility, solid research and fast, incisive thinking that helped Obama beat the highly regarded campaign of Hillary Rodham Clinton four years ago. No campaign strategy is better than its candidate, of course. For 10 days in Florida, at least, Romney displayed a level of discipline and confidence that could worry Obama fans.
EDITORIAL ROUNDUP Arab News, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on the Arab Spring a year later: A momentous 12 months have seen profound changes throughout so much of the rest of the Arab world, but with thousands of protesters dead and bloody confrontations continuing, most notably in Syria, this so-called Spring has sometimes seemed more like a long and harsh winter. This is not, however, to dismiss the achievements of populations that have demanded and won a real say in their futures. Tunisia held its first democratic election in October and chose the moderate Islamist Ennahda party as the largest single group in its constituent assembly. … Inspired by Tunisia, the people of Egypt were next to challenge their seemingly entrenched leadership. Hosni Mubarak endured three days of
demonstrations, then sent in police and troops to quell the protests. A fortnight later he resigned when the generals declined to risk ordering their largely conscript army to crush the revolt. But as everyone in Egypt is well aware, the break is not as clear-cut as happened in Tunisia. … Significantly, though, in the elections that have taken place so far, the Egyptians have voted in the same way as the Tunisians. They too have opted for Islamist parties. … Likewise in Morocco’s elections in November, following constitutional reforms there, the local version of the Muslim Brotherhood also leads the field. … It may well be the same in Libya, although there, after the six-month rebellion put an end to the 42-year dictatorship of Muammar Qaddafi, and to him
as well, the revolution has been altogether more decisive. The regime was swept away entirely. The tragedy of Syria continues. The revolt in Yemen has not yet been marked by success but rather by confusion and instability. Elsewhere, however, largely peaceful protests in Oman and Jordan and, as noted, Morocco have led to rapid political reforms. These have boosted the power of parliaments to give voters a greater say in the running of their countries. With the exception of Bahrain, where bitter inter-communal protest has been fomented by Iran, which has also sought to stir up trouble in our own Eastern Province, the member countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council have all seen the benefits of assured stability and economic prosperity.

DOONESBURY
Just one more reason we don’t think inside the box There have been some big changes around our household these past few weeks. From starting a new job to putting some finishing touches on our house, things are finally starting to fall into place. Well, as much as anything can fall into place where two adults and a rambunctious toddler are concerned. While leaving one career to start another might seem like the biggest risk we’ve taken in the last few weeks, it doesn’t even compare to the transition we’ve made to Pearyn’s room or the one we’re in process of undergoing. Our darling daughter’s room is getting an extreme makeover — Montessori style. I know what you’re thinking (aren’t you amazed at how well I can read all of your minds all the time). For starters, you’re wondering what the heck a “Montessori style” bedroom is, and maybe a few of you are even wondering what the heck a Montessori is. And lastly, you’re wondering why these tutti-frutti vegans can’t just think inside the box every once in a while. Montessori is a style of educa-
Amanda Stewart Troy Daily News Columnist tion that focuses on group-learning (often placing kids in threeyear age levels together to discover new lessons from each other) and education through all five senses. It encourages children to learn at their own, individual pace and allows them to develop the necessary skills and lessons through personal methods. Rather than correcting and disciplining the child, focus is placed on respecting the child for the conclusion they were able to form and then help guide them to the desired result. The goal is to help cultivate a love of education in children through self discovery (with adult guidance). Now I really know what you’re thinking — she’s
absolutely crazy. Crazy, tuttifrutti, tree-hugging vegan is out of her mind if she thinks a child can learn without following a rigorous schedule and being graded. I’m not saying that it’s for every child; I’m not even saying it’s for most children. What I am saying, however, is that I think it might be for my child. I spent my elementary years as a guinea pig — I attended a school that was “testing out” a marriage between regular learning and Montessori style. It combined some scheduled, general lessons, while encouraging center-based learning (going from different stations and using different senses to discover things ourselves), in addition to lumping together two grades. I’m the type of person who doesn’t handle criticism well — you know, the kind who takes everything personally — unless it’s math, I know I’m terrible at that. My mother tells me that I used to come home crying not because I missed a spelling word, but because I missed the “bonus” word. I think the fact that I was less criticized and more guided
to the correct answer during those “formative” years really helped my drama-queen, cry baby issues. Granted, I’m still a cry baby, but if my mom hasn’t been able to break me of that after 26 years, I don’t think it’s fair to blame the education system. So we’re incorporating this into our little girl’s life, one room at a time. The idea of “Montessori-ing” (I invented a word) up your home is to make it more user-friendly for your child. The easiest place to start is their bedroom. The hope is that by providing a user-friendly space for your child, it will empower them to grow their independence and in turn, will allow them to be happier, more confident children. So far, I just like not having to put away her shoes or hang up her coat anymore — that and the smile she gives me after knowing she did something for herself. Amanda Stewart appears in the Troy Daily News. She hasn’t given up the crib yet, but stay tuned as a floor bed is soon to be introduced!

GOP presidential hopefuls turning attention to Ohio CINCINNATI (AP) — Republican presidential campaigning in Ohio is starting to warm up after months of little activity, while polls have indicated a volatile race. Ohio, with 66 delegates at stake, offers the secondmost behind Georgia among 10 states with a primary or caucus on March 6, dubbed “Super Tuesday.” Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is booked for a county Republican Party’s Feb.16 dinner in suburban Cleveland, while former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum is speaking Feb. 18 at the Ohio Christian Alliance in Columbus and to the county GOP in Akron. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Texas Rep. Ron Paul also will compete for Ohio delegates. Polls in recent months have shown Romney and Gingrich seesawing for the lead in Ohio, with Santorum making a charge. Paul has consistently trailed, but has a loyal base of supporters across the state. Miami University politi-
cal science professor Philip Russo sees Ohio as “a big prize” and key test for those trying to become the nominee against Democrat Barack Obama, who carried the swing state in 2008 after George W. Bush carried it twice. Besides the delegates, “Ohio is also a microcosm of national politics the economic issues facing Ohioans, high unemployment, the polarization between parties, as well as infighting among the parties. We’ve got it all here right now,” Russo said. supporter Gingrich Chris Lowe is looking forward to seeing the candidates focus on Ohio. The 28-year-old Gallipolis resident thinks Gingrich has a clear message and likes his background with the Contract With America, the policy agenda he pushed through Congress in his first 100 days as House speaker in the 1990s. “I hope to see more campaigning, more signs, more involving Ohio in the discussions,” said Lowe, who has been connecting with
other Gingrich supporters in the state through social media. Georgia, where Gingrich built his congressional career, and its neighbor Tennessee also vote March 6, as he tries to rebound from Romney’s lopsided victory in Florida and what’s expected to be a rough string of February contests. Russo thinks Ohio is particularly important for Romney, who grew up in neighboring Michigan where his late father was governor. Romney also got an early endorsement from U.S. Sen. Rob Portman, one of the state’s three leading Republican officeholders. Portman said Romney’s Florida victory shows he has the diverse appeal to reach independents and other swing voters who will decide states such as Ohio in November. House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio is remaining neutral, while Republican Gov. John Kasich said this week he doesn’t have any plans at this point to make an endorsement.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Don’t get down on yourself for doing the right thing Dear Annie: My brother lives 100 miles away from his job. He says he has a good job, but our family strongly suspects he is dealing drugs again. He has two children with an ex-girlfriend who is bipolar and not taking her medication. The children had a weeklong break from school, and my brother left them with the ex-girlfriend's sister. She is a single mother with eight children of her own. She is also lazy and nasty. When I visited the kids, all the children came outside. One teenage child smelled strongly of marijuana. Another had crusting body sores all over. My niece told me there was dog poop on the boys' bedroom floor, and I could see clothes piled up to the windows. My brother left his children in this same home a year ago, and when my family found out, we threatened to call Child Protective Services. He promised to get them out of that horrid environment and begged us to give him time. When I saw that the kids were back in that house and that nothing had changed, I called the police. Afterward, my brother phoned, angry that I'd called the authorities before speaking to him. He said he'd inspected the house prior to sending the kids there and was assured it was being cleaned up. Annie, I don't believe him. He has a history of dealing and using drugs. He's a liar and a manipulator. Meanwhile, the police did nothing, and now my brother won't speak to me. Even my niece is angry. I'm beginning to feel I did the wrong thing. How do I fix this? — Hurt in California Dear Hurt: You did nothing wrong. Your brother cannot be trusted, and the mother of these children is not capable of caring for them. Everyone may be doing the best they can, but it is simply not adequate. Could you or someone in your family take these children into your home? Your brother might be relieved to know they are with a responsible caregiver. Or, if you still feel the children are in danger, report the conditions anonymously to Child Protective Services and ask them to investigate. If the situation warrants the children's removal from the home, they will handle it. Dear Annie: Two years ago, some dear friends got married. We threw them an engagement party at our home and purchased a lovely gift for their wedding. We also offered the use of our home as a "staging area" for the wedding and reception. Due to a family emergency at the last minute, we were unable to attend the wedding. We never received a thank-you note for our gift, not to mention our support. There wasn't even a verbal acknowledgement of our help. I'm offended, but I know there's no comfortable way to broach the subject. Any advice? — Ohio Dear Ohio: Is it possible your friends sent you a thank-you note that was lost? Could the gift or card have been misplaced? Otherwise, we despair of such poor manners and lack of appreciation. Since this still bothers you, it may help repair the friendship if you speak up. Here are the words: "Did you ever receive the crystal bowl we sent for your wedding? We never heard from you and worry that it was lost in transit." We hope they use the opportunity to thank you profusely. Dear Annie: "Road Worrier" should check to see whether her state has a Drivers Safety Division. Some have forms online to recommend that a particular driver be tested. Of course, valid reasons have to be stated. The driver in question is then summoned to take a driving test. I had to do this for my father. — Been Down hat Road Dear Been: Concerned friends and relatives can look online or check their state DMV, local police or department of transportation to see whether such forms are available.

HINTS FROM HELOISE
Here are a few helpful pet sitting hints to consider Dear Readers: A reader recently shared her concerns regarding pet sitters. The reader found that none of the pet sitters in her area was bonded, and most of them keep house keys with address information on them. Here are other reader responses: Mark and Mary, via email, say: “We’re pet sitters and could not agree more with the reader. A pet sitter should not only be bonded, but licensed (Business license — Heloise) and insured as well. A few other suggestions: • Anyone doing pet sitting should give the potential client a free in-home consultation, so that the client can ask questions and
Hints from Heloise Columnist discuss special services the pets need. • Will the person doing the interview be the person taking care of the pets, or will it be someone else? • Is the person caring for your four-legged babies certified in pet CPR and first aid?” A reader in Washington says:
“Our daughter was a professional ’critter sitter.’ She had the usual ring of keys for her clients. Her method was essentially foolproof in identification. All of her keys had ONLY the name of the critter. Very simple yet very secure.” — Heloise PET PAL Dear Readers: Marcy of Maurepas, La., sent a photo of her dog, Josie Henley, on her way to a hunting camp. Look at her reflection in the mirror! To see Josie, visit www.Heloise.com and click on “Pets.” — Heloise COLLEGE HINT Dear Heloise: When shopping for items for a dorm room, a
wastebasket is one of the musthave items. Thinking of the limited space, you opt for a smaller, room-size garbage can. Once I got to school, I quickly realized that I should have gotten a normal-size garbage can to hold all the fastfood remains. It would keep me from having to make daily trips to the main trash bin. When I go back to school next time, I definitely will be getting a larger-size garbage can! — Adriana U., West Palm Beach, Fla. Good point, but let’s hope this year there is not so much fast-food trash! How about fresh-food trash? — Heloise

HOROSCOPE Saturday, Feb. 4, 2012 The conditions that have impeded your progress in the past will dissipate or diminish in the year ahead. They’ll be replaced with activities that could provide opportunities to visit new places and make new friends. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — There’s a strong possibility that someone whom you were expecting help from is also anticipating aid from you. Neither will be able to assist the other. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Social events might hold a strong appeal, yet large groups could unnerve you. Try to share your time with a few intimate friends whose company you enjoy. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — If you want to do something constructive, that’s great. However, don’t get down on your family or pals just because they aren’t of a similar mind. Do your own thing by yourself. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Someone you don’t particularly like might come up with some long-sought-for and quite valuable information. Don’t reject it just because of its source. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You could be so busy watching others to make sure they do what is expected of them that you will forget about your own obligations. You need to be the one who sets the example. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — If this turns out to be a day when there is no possibility of pleasing others, establish your own objectives and put all your efforts toward fulfilling them. At least you’ll get something solid accomplished. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Even though you might want to spend your time on activities or jobs of your own choosing, it might not be possible because of duties that you’ve previously neglected. You won’t enjoy reaping what you’ve sown. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — There’s a good chance that you will be inclined to champion your own causes, which is well and good. Others won’t mind as long as you don’t impose your desires on them. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — It’s admirable of you to set lofty objectives for yourself, as long as you don’t bite off more than you can chew. If you lack the fortitude to satisfy your goals, you’re likely to throw in the old terry cloth. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Don’t prematurely talk to the wrong person about any of your good ideas. A cunning co-worker could take your thinking and make it his or her own, stealing all the credit. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Be careful not to put yourself in a position where you are held responsible for a friend’s obligation. It could happen rather easily if you’re oblivious to your surroundings. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Even if your ideas are better than your mate’s, he or she may not be convinced of this if you don’t present your stance with clarity. Make a logical argument, not an emotional one. COPYRIGHT 2012 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Saturday, Feb. 4, the 35th day of 2012. There are 331 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 4, 1962, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital was founded in Memphis, Tenn., by entertainer Danny Thomas. On this date: In 1783, Britain’s King George III proclaimed a formal cessation of hostilities in the American Revolutionary War. In 1789, electors chose George Washington to be the first
president of the United States. In 1861, delegates from six southern states that had recently seceded from the Union met in Montgomery, Ala., to form the Confederate States of America. In 1941, the United Service Organizations (USO) came into existence. In 1962, a rare conjunction of the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn occurred. In 1972, Mariner 9, orbiting Mars, transmitted images of the red planet.
In 1974, newspaper heiress Patricia Hearst was kidnapped in Berkeley, Calif., by the Symbionese Liberation Army. In 1982, President Ronald Reagan announced a plan to eliminate all medium-range nuclear missiles in Europe. Ten years ago: President George W. Bush proposed a $2.13 trillion budget, including billions for fighting terrorism. Five years ago: The Indianapolis Colts won Super Bowl XLI (41), beating the Chicago Bears 29-17.
Egyptian soccer deaths bring new cycle of violence CAIRO (AP) — Protesters filled the streets and clashed for a second day Friday with police who fired tear gas and birdshot in Cairo, as a deadly soccer riot focused rising public anger over lawlessness and collapsing security a year after Egypt’s uprising. Six people have been killed and more than 1,500 injured in the latest bloodshed that followed a violent melee and stampede after a soccer game Wednesday in the Mediterranean city of Port Said in which 74 people died. Egyptians streamed out of Friday prayers in Cairo, Alexandria, Suez and several Nile Delta cities, criticizing police and calling on the military rulers led by Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi to step down. On Cairo’s Tahrir Square the heart of the uprising that ousted President Hosni Mubarak a year ago protesters raised banners and pictures of those killed in Port Said and chanted, “The people want to execute the marshal.” The police force, which for decades was associated with torture and corruption in the Mubarak regime, is now being

Egyptian protestors carry an injured man to a field hospital during clashes with security forces near the Interior Ministry in Cairo, Egypt, Friday. A volunteer doctor says police and protesters angry over a deadly soccer riot have clashed for the second day in the Egyptian capital, and that one man died in the latest violence. criticized in the soccer stadium deaths whether from a lack of control or, as some alleged, on purpose. For many Egyptians, the security vacuum is not just a sign of incompetence but part of the larger overall failure by the military council to steer the country
Komen drops plans to cut Planned Parenthood grants NEW YORK (AP) — For leaders of the nation’s pre-eminent breast-cancer charity, it was a firestorm they didn’t see coming and couldn’t withstand. Susan G. Komen for the Cure on Friday abandoned plans to eliminate funding for Planned Parenthood. The dramatic retreat followed a three-day furor that resounded across the Internet, in Congress and perhaps most tellingly among Komen affiliates who openly rebelled, suggesting the leadership had bowed to anti-abortion pressure. “We want to apologize to the American public for recent decisions that cast doubt upon our commitment to our mission of saving women’s lives,” a Komen statement said. As first reported by The Associated Press on Tuesday, Komen had adopted criteria excluding Planned Parenthood from future grants for breastcancer screenings because it was under government investigation, citing a probe launched by a Florida congressman at the urging of anti-abortion groups. “We will amend the criteria to make clear that disqualifying investigations must be criminal and conclusive in nature and not political,” Komen said Friday. “That is what is right and fair.” As a result, Komen said, “we will continue to fund
through its turbulent transitional period. They also see selectivity in policing the streets. Leading democracy advocate Mohamed ElBaradei said delays in reforming the security apparatus is itself “a crime against the nation,” adding that the current violence is the “price we pay for
stumbling in the transitional period.” The clashes in Cairo began Thursday as the bodies of the dead soccer fans were returned to the capital for burial, and the violence escalated. Protesters converged on the headquarters of the Interior Ministry, which oversees police, throwing stones. Police responded with tear gas and birdshot, and protesters donned helmets and gas masks to battle their way through streets thick with smoke from tear gas and burning tires. “I came because I’m trying to do anything to feel that I took part in getting people’s rights and voicing all that’s inside me,” said 20-year-old Ahmed Emad, whose two friends were killed in Port Said. “If I sit at home, I will explode after all I’ve seen.” The death toll from Friday’s violence rose to six. One protester in Cairo was killed after being hit by birdshot at close range, a volunteer doctor said on condition of anonymity because he feared reprisal. Four protesters died in Suez after police opened fire on a crowd of about 3,000 demonstra-
tors in front of police headquarters, according to local health officials. A third protester in Suez was in critical condition with a wound to the neck. The Port Said soccer riot began when fans of the home team, AlMasry, stormed the field after their club defeated Al-Ahly, one of Cairo’s top teams. Police in black uniforms and riot gear were seen in television video broadcast nationwide standing by and largely doing nothing amid the chaos. The bloodshed — the worst in the soccer world in 15 years — enraged protesters who were already frustrated with the slow pace of reform by the military leaders. A network of zealous Al-Ahly soccer fans known as Ultras, who were prominent police foes during the uprising, accused the security forces of deliberately allowing the Al-Masry supporters to attack. Some lawmakers suggested that the military allowed the attack to happen to show the need for a reinstatement of the recently abolished emergency laws, in which the police enjoyed nearly unlimited power.
Hackers intercept FBI, Scotland Yard call LONDON (AP) — Trading jokes and swapping leads, investigators from the FBI and Scotland Yard spent the conference call strategizing about how to bring down the hacking collective known as Anonymous, responsible for a string of embarrassing attacks across the Internet. Unfortunately for the cyber sleuths, the hackers were in on the call too and now so is the rest of the world. Anonymous published the roughly 15-minute-long recording of the call on the Internet on Friday, gloating in a Twitter message that “the FBI might be curious how we’re able to continuously read their internal comms for some time now.” The humiliating coup exposed a vulnerability that might have had more
serious consequences had someone else been listening in on the line. “A law enforcement agency using unencrypted, unsecure communications is a major fumble,” said Marcus Carey, who spent years securing communications for the U.S. National Security Agency before joining security-risk assessment firm Rapid7. “What if this event was talking about some terrorist plot to blow up something and ‘they’ were listening in? It could’ve been much worse if it was related to an al-Qaida plot or something … So this is a lesson learned.” The leak was one of a slew of Anonymous hacks that hit websites across the United States Friday, including in Boston, where the police site was defaced,
and in Salt Lake City, where officials said that personal information of confidential informants and tipsters had been compromised. Anonymous also claimed credit for defacing the Greek Justice Ministry’s website and stealing a mountain of data from the Virginia-based law firm that defended a U.S. Marine recently convicted for his role in the bloody 2005 raid in Iraq that became known as the Haditha massacre. The hackers’ successful attempt to spy on the very people charged with tracking them down remained the most dramatic coup of the day, with sensitive police conversations broadcast across the world. The FBI said the communication “was intended for law enforcement officers
only and was illegally obtained,” but added that no FBI systems were breached. It said that “a criminal investigation is under way to identify and hold accountable those responsible.” A law enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity because the matter is under investigation, told The Associated Press that authorities were looking at the possibility the message was intercepted from the private email account of one of the dozens of invited participants who hailed from the U.K., Ireland, Germany, France, the Netherlands and Sweden. Anonymous published just such an email Friday, complete with the date, time and password needed to access the call.

CAUTION Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees). The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount. While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks. Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable.

2 Trojans chasing titles
BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.com Even after winning a backand-forth slugfest. Even after coming through in the clutch time and again to force — and then win in — overtime. Even after clinching at least a share of their first league title since the 2003-04 season … … The Troy Trojans still aren’t satisfied.
Staff Reports Two Trojans made it through the first two rounds Friday night, staying in the running for individual titles at the Greater Western Ohio Conference meet at Fairmont’s Trent Arena.
KETTERING
TROY “I’ve gotta tell you, I’m feeling a little on the selfish side,” Troy coach Tim Miller said. “But we want it all by ourselves. This is our first title since 2003-04 when we won it outright, and our goal is to finish it out strong.” Like they did Friday night. Seth Lucas hit a free throw to momentarily preserve Troy’s perfect Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division

Ryne Rich (285) swept through the first two rounds with a pair of pins, while Kevin McGraw (182) picked up a 6-1 victory in the first round and a narrow 3-2 decision to advance to the quarterfinal round. “We’ve got two guys chasing titles, and everyone else is still alive in the consolation rounds,” Troy coach Doug Curnes said. “Everyone is still fighting hard. We’ll get back at it first thing in the morning and see how everyone fares.” Wrestling begins at 11 a.m.

Everything goes right for Miami East 6 Vikings in double digits in 80-31 victory over Bradford NFL finishing season in style MVP quarterbacks on marquee franchises. A rematch of a nail-biter from four years ago, featuring many of the same key characters. Madonna and plenty of Manning Eli, and Peyton, too. This Super Bowl certainly has all the makings of another thriller, the perfect finish to a season that began in turmoil and wound up the most successful in league history. See Page 18.
BY COLIN FOSTER Sports Writer cfoster@tdnpublishing.com There wasn’t much that went wrong for the Miami East Vikings against Bradford on Friday night. On Senior Night in Casstown, the Vikings shredded the nets, going 11 for 20 from beyond the arc and ending the game 54 percent from the floor in a 80-33 victory over the Railroaders. The Vikings had 10 players
CASSTOWN score in the game — with six reaching double-figures. “We had a lot of different combinations on the floor tonight with Senior Night, and our seniors worked really hard,” Miami East coach Allen Mack said. “We wanted to give them an opportunity. I was really pleased with how they came through tonight. Our guys were very sharp no matter what lineup was in, and I
thought they executed real well. “It was great to be able to get everybody in and have guys contribute off the bench, as well.” East had only nine turnovers in the game, while its defense forced several Bradford errors. Back-to-back 3s to start the game by Luke Clark, along with two quick buckets by Gunner Shirk, helped jolt the Vikings to a 14-0 run to open the game, before Aaron Yohey scored to put the ‘Roaders on the board. East held a 20-3 lead after one quar-
ter of play, and by halftime that lead was extended to 39-13. Bradford’s Brandon Wysong and Eric Swabb hit 3s to open the third to make the score 4419. East, however, closed the quarter on a 17-4 run, hitting four 3s in the quarter alone. “Our guys didn’t show up tonight. We got beat by a good team, that’s the bottom line,” Bradford coach Curtis Enis said. “We just didn’t compete. There’s

3s — added 11, while A.J. Hickman, Gunner Shirk and Josh Snyder all netted 10. Bradford, which had won two of its last three games coming in, was led by Josh Hoelscher’s nine points, while Aaron Yohey added eight. “Miami East is a good basketball team — I’m
not trying to take that away,” Enis said. “But I’m just trying to get these kids to understand competition. I think we’ll get things turned around. We’ve got a game against Riverside (today), so hopefully we can get back on track.” The Vikings (15-2, 10-0 Cross County Conference)

Roundup ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 tonight. Shawnee 85, Tippecanoe 74 TIPP CITY — Springfield Shawnee jumped out to a 45-32 lead by halftime on Tippecanoe, and the Red Devils couldn’t climb out of that hole as the Braves held on for an 85-74 win. Tippecanoe’s Nick Fischer hit five 3s and scored 24 points. He also added five assists, while Brandon Ervin had 22 points and Cameron Johnson added 11. “I was encouraged by some of the things we did on offense,” Tippecanoe coach Matt Pond said. “But we had to be better on the defensive end. We just had some breakdowns that allowed them to score easy points.” (6-11) Tippecanoe plays Northwestern on Tuesday. Lehman 70, Troy Christian 43 SIDNEY — Lehman controlled the second half to sprint from a 3026 halftime lead to a 7043 win over Troy Christian Friday. “We went 4 for 33 in the second half and had eight defensive rebounds in the entire game,” Troy Christian coach Ray Zawadzki said. “In the second half, the snowball started rolling downhill and we couldn’t stop it — and it turned into an avalanche.” The two teams were close in the first half, but the Cavs outscored the Eagles 20-6 in the third quarter to open up a 5032 lead. “We had very balanced scoring,” Lehman coach Isaiah Williams said. “We got the scoring we needed from the other guys.” The Cavaliers had two players finish with double-doubles. Alex Baker had 14 points and 10 rebounds and Solomon King-White had 12 points and 10 assists. Nathan Kirkpatrick
lead the Eagles with 14 points, while Grant Zawadzki added 13. Lehman (9-6) is at Springfield Catholic tonight, while the Eagles (12-4) play at Middletown Christian on Tuesday. Ansonia 51, Newton 43 PLEASANT HILL — Newton (7-9, 5-6 Cross County Conference) only managed 14 second-half points Friday night, falling to Ansonia 51-43. “We are in a funk,” Newton coach Steve Fisher said. “We had a good start, got up 10-2, but we kind of let them back in it. Then we gave them about six points right before the half and went in only up by three, and then we came up empty on six possessions in a row early in the third quarter.” Jordan Hodges led Newton with 23 points and Bobby Gerodimos added nine. Newton travels to Milton-Union tonight. Bethel 52, Miss. Valley 27 UNION CITY — Bethel jumped all over Mississinawa Valley in the first quarter, opening up a 13-1 lead. From there, the Bees went on to win 52-27 Friday night in Cross County Conference play. Gus Schwieterman led the Bees with 20 points. The Bees (11-3) play Greenview on Tuesday. FM 36, Covington 35 In three out of four quarters, Covington and Franklin Monroe were dead even. But the Jets outscored the Buccs by one point in the third quarter, and that point made all the difference as Franklin Monroe held on for a 3635 win on Friday. Cole Owens led the Buccs with 13, while Ryan Craft added 12. The Buccs (8-8) play Coldwater today.
■ CONTINUED FROM 15 record and force overtime, Cody May hit what proved to be the eventual game-winner and Zach Martinez and Lucas wrapped things up with clutch defensive rebounds and free throws as the Trojans put away Butler 60-55 in front of a massive crowd at the Trojan Activities Center, putting themselves one win away from an outright championship. Troy (11-6, 8-0) now leads Trotwood by two games with two to play — and the Trojans need only a win at Sidney Friday or at home against Piqua in the season finale to claim the crown all for themselves. “We were reeling a little bit after our loss at Fairborn Tuesday. But we came back and had a good, hard, focused day of practice yesterday,” Miller said. “This is a big win for us. “We control our own destiny, and we don’t want to let anyone take it from us. I thought we did a really nice job in the fourth quarter and overtime tonight. I thought our defense locked it up and did a nice job down the stretch.” But the Trojans couldn’t have done it without every contribution across the boards. Martinez led Troy with 16 points and five rebounds, Tyler Miller scored 13 points — 11 in the second half — and Zack Rohr added 12, including the first basket of overtime to give Troy momentum. Lucas chipped in nine points — all of which came after halftime — going 5 for 8 from the free throw line, while Jordan Price came off the bench and hit two clutch second-quarter 3s and finished with six. And May — who scored a career-high 29 points in the first meeting between the teams, a 61-54 Troy win on the road — was held to four points … so he dished out six assists and blocked two shots. “Good teams have to be able to do that, to capitalize when the other guy negates what you’re trying to do, what you like to do,” Miller said. “We’ve struggled with that at times here lately, but tonight we put it all together. “I can’t emphasize enough the collective

I thought the kids played their butts off down the stretch.” The game was the last chance for Butler (8-9, 4-4) which would have needed the win and Troy losses to Sidney and Piqua — and to win out the rest of the year — to get a share of the title. The Troy defense held Jake Greer in check for the most part after a 21-point performance the first time around, holding him to eight points and nine rebounds. But Jordan Greer gashed the Trojans for a game-high 22 points — 15 in the third and fourth quarters — and a Jordan Greer basket with less than 20 seconds left gave Butler a 53-52 lead. “Butler came out and gave us everything they had, and we knew they would,” Miller said. “We knew we’d be in a dogfight tonight. Beating us tonight was their only hope.” But Lucas drew a foul and hit 1 of 2 to tie the score, and the Aviators came up empty on a lastsecond heave. Rohr kicked off overtime with a bucket in the paint, but Jake Greer answered quickly with a tough spin-andlayup. May responded with a tough drive and scoop layup to make it 5755, and Martinez skied for a rebound after a Butler miss and was fouled, knocking down both free throws to make it a twopossession game with 20.7

Coming full circle After rocky beginning, season headed to thrilling conclusion

The Vince Lombardi Trophy Friday in Indianapolis. To get it, the Patriots (153) must protect their crown jewel. Four years ago, Brady was banged around so much by New York that it turned the Super Bowl in the Giants’ favor. Yes, they needed David Tyree’s miracle pin-the-ballagainst-the-helmet catch, then Plaxico Burress’ touchdown reception to shatter New England’s perfect season. But that victory was built on the relentless pressure applied to Brady. The formula hasn’t changed. “We feel that we certainly have a very strong group of men in the front,” Giants coach Tom Coughlin said. “It’s just the way we play and prefer to play. It’s a pressure group, and we have played better in the back end as well, probably as a result of the ball having to come out faster than it has at certain times during the year.” Brady certainly remembers the pain, physically and emotionally, from the beating he took on the field and the scoreboard. “Any time you lose, it’s a tough thing,” Brady said. “We’ve lost one Super Bowl. I remember waking up in Arizona the next morning after an hour of sleep thinking, ‘That was a nightmare, that didn’t happen.’ After time, you learn to move on and get over it.” The Giants got all over Brady again during their regular season 24-20 win at
is seen before a news conference for Super Bowl XLVI Foxborough, the last time the Patriots lost. That victory preceded a four-game slide, and New York eventually slipped to 7-7 before turning it around. Adding to the juicy potential of a down-to-thewire reprise of 2008, both teams barely made it to Indy. The Patriots needed backup cornerback Sterling Moore stripping the ball from Baltimore receiver Lee Evans in the end zone in the final seconds, then for Billy Cundiff to miss a 32-yard field goal that would have forced overtime. The Giants went into overtime in San Francisco, using two botched punt returns by the 49ers to advance. “We feel very fortunate to be here, and I’m pretty sure they do, too,” Patriots Pro Bowl nose tackle Vince Wilfork. “But we also know we deserve to be here, and they know they deserve it. We are two very good and very confident teams.” Teams owned by two of the key figures in solving the 4 -month lockout of the players last year. New England’s Robert Kraft shuttled back and forth from the meetings to his dying wife’s bedside late in the negotiating process. Myra Kraft passed away days before the lockout was resolved. His players wore a patch with her initials MHK on the left side of their jerseys this season.
“The fact that she was so dear to me and all of our players are wearing her initials above their heart is an endearing thing,” Kraft said. “What she represented is important and I hope that special sense of spirit comes through.” Giants owner John Mara played an equally important role in the labor negotiations, and when both teams reached the Super Bowl, Kraft mentioned “a certain karma” about the matchup. “I’m not necessarily happy to be playing Bill Belichick and Tom Brady, I’ll tell you that,” Mara joked. “But yeah, I’m very happy for Bob because he put his heart and soul into those negotiations during a very difficult time for him and his family, so I think the success they’ve had is welldeserved.” When they finally kick off Sunday, the two biggest stars will be Brady and Manning yes, Eli. Not halftime performer Madonna, but the quarterbacks on whose arms, wits and leadership this Super Bowl will turn. “They are both leaders on the field,” Wilfork said. “I think that position you have to be smart, you have to be intelligent. I think you have to understand what’s going on around you. I think both those guys have that.” On Sunday, we’ll see which one adds to his championship legacy with another Super Bowl ring.
COLUMBUS (AP) — Among the hundreds of games fighting for position in Aaron Craft’s mind, one stands out. And the thing he remembers most from Ohio State’s stunning upset loss last year at Wisconsin is that runaway torrent of cardinal flowing right at him from all directions. “It was the first time I’ve ever had a court stormed on me,” the Ohio State point guard said of the then-No. 1 Buckeyes’ 71-67 loss in Kohl Center last Feb. 12. “You look up and it’s almost like ‘deer in the headlights’ what’s going on? You’re shaking hands and (then just trying) to find the way to the locker room.” When the third-ranked Buckeyes (19-3, 7-2) put the top spot in the Big Ten on the line Saturday in Madison, Wis., they don’t want to get caught in the crush again. The Buckeyes had sliced through every opponent before having their perfect season end after 24 games last year in Madison, Wis. This year they hold a slight lead over three teams with three losses No. 19 Wisconsin (18-5, 7-3), Michigan and Michigan State. The Badgers, who have won their last six, feel as if a lot of teams are rooting for them. “We’re playing for the whole conference, in a way,” said Jordan Taylor, who scored 21 of his 27 points in the second half of last
year’s victory over the Buckeyes. “It’s a big game. I’d be lying to you if I said it wasn’t. But we’re going to approach it just like any other game.” Ohio State coach Thad Matta doesn’t like to elevate one game oh, my gosh, they’re rivals! from others on his schedule. He tries to be short-sighted, dealing only with the opponent at hand. And he tries to pass that attitude on to his team, to prevent it from losing track of the task at hand. But even Matta, who is 0-6 at Wisconsin in his eight years at Ohio State, is itching to end that losing skid. “I don’t drive to work in morning saying, ‘This is the biggest game of the year. We have to do this …’” he said. “It’s more like, ‘Hey, we’re playing a great basketball team, a top-20 team.’” He hesitated for an instant before adding, “The fact that we haven’t won there as a program, it does make you want to definitely win.” After Wisconsin stormed back from a 15point deficit and then stormed the court, Ohio State’s All-American forward, Jared Sullinger, said a fan spit in his face. Badgers coach Bo Ryan said there were surveillance cameras around Kohl Center which may have picked up the alleged expectoration, although no proof was ever presented one way or the other.

Howard leads Magic past Cavs

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — MVP quarterbacks on marquee franchises. A rematch of a nail-biter from four years ago, featuring many of the same key characters. Madonna and plenty of Manning Eli, and Peyton, too. This Super Bowl certainly has all the makings of another thriller, the perfect finish to a season that began in turmoil and wound up the most successful in league history. The NFL couldn’t have planned it any better. “It’s actually been a very fun week here,” said Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, seeking his fourth Super Bowl ring in 11 seasons, and doing it in the city where archrival Peyton Manning has worked for 13 years if not for much longer, given his health issues and disagreements with Colts management. “It’s a bit surreal to be playing in Indy’s home stadium and to be practicing at their facility.” It’s been even weirder for Eli Manning to have led the Giants here, only to find his superb season and chase for a second championship overshadowed by big brother. The most popular storyline this week has been Peyton’s pain in his neck. Or, rather, his status following three neck surgeries in 19 months; whether the Colts will keep him around, at the cost of a $28 million roster bonus due in March; and whether he’s truly feuding with owner Jim Irsay’s rebuilding organization. Eli, who will surpass his brother for NFL titles with a victory Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium yes, Peyton’s Place claims his sibling’s issues are irrelevant to this game, in which New York (12-7) is a 3-point underdog. “I’m proud of Peyton. I’ve talked to him this week. None of that comes up,” Eli said. “When I talk to Peyton, he does a great job of trying to keep me relaxed. (We) talk a little football and talk about New England some. He’s supported me this week. I know he’s just working hard trying to get healthy and I’m going to support him on that.” While Eli would own two championships with a victory, to one for Peyton, Brady could tie his childhood quarterbacking hero, Joe Montana, and Terry Bradshaw with four. Coach Bill Belichick would equal Chuck Noll with the same number.
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Predicting which Orlando Magic team shows up from night to night has been a daily guessing game. A recent season-high four-game losing streak was plagued with turnovers, inconsistent play on defense and stale offense. Since then, the Magic have dug out of the muck, earning their second straight victory, 102-94 over the Cleveland Cavaliers Friday night. Dwight Howard scored 19 points, had 16 rebounds and blocked eight shots, and hit some key late freethrows to help ward off a late Cavs’ charge. Jason Richardson also added 19 points in his first action in two games after resting a sore knee. Hedo Turkoglu finished with 18 points and Ryan Anderson chipped in 17. “We did good job of spacing the floor out, moving the ball and getting each other involved,” Richardson said. “It was really good for us tonight. Everybody was involved, did a good job on both ends and got the win.” The Magic won their seventh straight over the Cavaliers, despite playing without injured starting
point guard Jameer Nelson and suspended reserve big man Glen Davis. Orlando continues a stretch of nine games in 13 days Saturday at Indiana. Alonzo Gee led Cleveland with 20 points, followed by Kyrie Irving with 18. The Cavs have lost three of their last four and returns home to host Dallas on Saturday before going to Miami on Tuesday. The Magic came in averaging 15.5 turnovers per game, but had just five against the Cavs and opened up a 21-point lead in the fourth quarter. The Cavs got it down to 95-90 with 2:12 to play by fouling Howard intentionally and sending him to the free-throw line. Howard missed four straight attempts from the line during one stretch before sinking a pair to give the Magic a sevenpoint cushion and help close it out. He finished 9 for 16 for the evening. He said he is never surprised when teams resort to fouling him, especially with the career-low 47 percent he came in shooting from the stripe. “No, that’s the game plan,” Howard said. “Until I get better at the line
they’re gonna continue to do it. It is what it is. I shot them better. I just gotta continue to work on them. They’ll fall.” Despite the missing and still healing bodies on their roster, the Magic managed to take a nine-point advantage into the break, building their cushion by hitting six first-half 3s. Richardson also hit five of his six field goal attempts for 11 points. Cleveland also helped out, connecting on only 29 percent of its field goals (14 for 48). Antawn Jamison kept the Cavs close with an 11-point, 10 rebound effort in the half. The Cavaliers finished shooting 36 percent, ultimately undermining their fouling strategy. “I think you can do it at any point in time,” Scott said. “I don’t think you necessarily have to have to be down. Until he proves he can hit 75 percent on those free throws on a consistent basis.” Cleveland scored 41 points in the fourth quarter. “I wish we could put the first three quarters together like we did the fourth,” he said. “We couldn’t throw the ball in the ocean for the first three quarters. It was tough.”
