GOP race continues, moves north Romney claims back-to-back victories LAS VEGAS (AP) — Now it’s on to Colorado, Minnesota and Maine.

With back-to-back victories fueling him, Republican presidential front-runner Mitt Romney is looking toward the next states that hold GOP nominating contests as main rival Newt Gingrich brushes aside any talk of abandon-

ing his White House bid __ all but ensuring the battle will stretch into the spring if not beyond.

Shortly after losing big to Romney here, the former House speaker emphatically renewed his vow to campaign into the party convention in Tampa this summer.

His goal, he said, was to “find a series of victories which by the end

of the Texas primary will leave us at parity” with Romney by early April.

Gingrich continued to shrug off Nevada’s caucus results in an appearance on Sunday on NBC’s Meet the Press.”

“This is the state he won last time, and he won it this time,” he said of Romney. “Our goal is to get

to Super Tuesday where we’re in much more favorable territory.”

But first, Gingrich must make it through Colorado and Minnesota, which both hold caucuses Tuesday. Maine follows on Saturday during a month that promises to be as plodding as January was rapid-fire in the presidential race. Romney will look to maintain his position of strength,

Israel makes no move

The long, bizarre case of a Utah woman missing for two years took a horrific turn Sunday when a powerful house explosion killed the woman’s husband and his two young sons, moments after the boys arrived for a visit that was supposed to be supervised by a social worker.

Authorities say it appears the husband, Josh Powell, blew the house up on purpose.

The Child Protective Services worker brought the two boys to Powell’s home, and Powell let his sons inside — but then blocked the social worker from entering, Graham Fire and Rescue Chief Gary Franz told The Associated Press.

Stanley rallies to win Phoenix Kyle Stanley rebounded from a devastating loss to win the Phoenix Open, overcoming an eight-stroke deficit Sunday in a comeback as unlikely as his collapse last week at Torrey Pines.

In tears seven days ago in San Diego after blowing a big lead dropping the final strokes with a triple-bogey 8 on the final hole and losing a playoff, Stanley took advantage of Spencer Levin’s meltdown Sunday to win his first PGA Tour title.

The old saying of ‘having too much is always better than having too little’ came in handy for one local resident as he sifted through hours and hours of footage for his newly released documentary.

West Milton native and 1988 Milton-Union graduate graduate Tom Mayor attended Wright State University and graduated in ‘97 with a degree in motion picture production.

He has been going full tilt since then and released his privately funded documentary on non-point source water pollution issues featuring the Ohio Scenic Rivers Program called “Call of the Scenic River — an Ohio Journey.”

For Mayor, it wasn’t a grand idea or lightbulb moment that inspired his new documentary, but a simple question from his son during a quiet drive past the Ohio Scenic River.

“Dad, what’s a scenic river?” Mayor said his son asked.

“I knew it was some state program, but I gave him the generic 9

year old answer — ‘it’s a nice natural place and beautiful.’ It turns out that it means a lot more than that. To all of us. We are all connected to the water and we are all responsible for the water.”

He started searching for more information on the Ohio Scenic Rivers program.

“It was indeed, the first in the nation, which was in 1968,” Mayor said. “The program itself holds many programs for many rivers.”

As Mayor strived to further answer his son’s question, he realized he was answering a lot of his own, and wanted to answer the same questions for the people connected to the water — in ways they may not imag-

“It really struck me, here is something I can get educated about myself,” Mayor said.

“I very quickly got into a lot of interesting, fascinating information that the Ohio EPA puts out and (also) the Ohio Division of Watercraft. I just started reading a lot of stuff online.”

Mayor said as he started reading more — during a time when the economy had dipped and he had more time on his hands than during other times — he began filming the rivers.

“I just started acquiring footage and soon had 80 hours of footage over the course of three years starting in fall 2009,” Mayor said.

“Then I started making more trips.”

He said there are 14

designated systems in Ohio that span 109 stream miles that he photographed.

“I started shooting and came up with a film that is an hour and a half, 95minute screen time,” he said.

During the filming process, Mayor said there was one driving force behind continuing the project.

“I kept asking one question of myself and I kept going back to that same question, ‘Why is it important that we protect these streams in the first place?’”

He realized that to answer that question, he could no longer get by with a sweeping answer for a 9-year-old.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama said Sunday he does not think Israel has decided whether to attack Iran over its disputed nuclear program, a standoff that h a s t h e Middle East o n edge.

The presid e n t sought t o assure OBAMA allies and foes alike that the United States was working in lockstep with Israel to solve the crisis, “hopefully diplomatically.”

Obama’s comments came as Israel’s major allies in the West are working hard to talk it out of a unilateral military strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities, arguing forcefully that an attack ultimately would only strengthen the regime in Tehran. Israel fears that Iran is fast approaching a point at which a limited military strike would no longer be enough to head off an Iranian bomb.

“I don’t think that Israel has made a decision on what they need to do,” Obama said during a preSuper Bowl interview with NBC television. He reiterated that the United States has removed no option from consideration in dealing with Iran — an allusion to military intervention — but emphasized that the United States wants a diplomatic solution built around a world coalition.

Iran insists its nuclear pursuits are for peaceful civilian purposes, not a bomb.

After years of worries about Iran’s nuclear program, world leaders are now showing real concern that Israel could attack the Islamic republic imminently — a move that might trigger a broader war and disrupt the international economy.

Iran’s regime has said it wants to extinguish the Jewish state, and the West accuses it of assembling the material and knowhow to build a nuclear bomb. Just last week, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta would not dispute a report that he believes

ple for the longest time. That led me to then start forming a thesis, so the film kind of plays like an essay.”

As he started bringing together the pieces of the puzzle, Mayor said he realized the film he was working on was much like the rivers he was filming.

“A film begins at point A and ends at point B. It’s the roll and bend and turn in the middle that makes things interesting,” Mayor said. “I have always strived to do educational material and it’s important that the material is engaging. So the river is the same way, begins at point A and ends at point B and what happens between is just beautiful.”

Mayor said he learned all about ecology, the effect of chemicals in the waterways, urban runoff and sewer overflows, among other things that he includes in the documentary to promote public awareness of what is happening with Ohio waterways.

“We have heard a lot about algae

in Lake Erie and Grand Lake St. Marys,” Mayor said. “It is unfair for us to blame the farmers for all the problems of the water. We are all responsible for the runoff that comes from our yards, our urban runoff, sewer overflows — we are all ultimately responsible for that. We all need to become aware of this and this is one of the ways we start, is to talk about it.”

As a filmmaker, Mayor said he has never considered himself a social advocate, but realized that he stepped into that role for a short time on behalf of the Ohio Scenic Rivers and allowed his film to have a public performance right to allow it to continue addressing the topic.

“This message is so important, and river advocates, they can use it to host their own screenings because they all need to do a little something,” Mayor said. “The DVD also is available for those groups and retail-

ers to do fundraising,” he added.

He said former Ohio Governor Bob Taft and the first lady attended a screening a few weeks ago. Mayor said the first lady, who is involved with Little Miami River Keepers, made a statement he hopes will resonate with many after watching the film.

He quoted her saying “I was so impressed by the film and how it touched on an emotional level the importance of protecting the natural environment.”

“I hope the film does that because it’s really cool to engage people in conservation,” he said.

The next screening of the film will be a fundraiser at 7 p.m. Feb. 24., at Brukner Nature Center.

Proceeds from the evening will benefit BNC. Tickets are available at the center for $6. For more information on the DVD, visit www.callofthescenicriver.com.

issue, political, social, economic, but the question kept coming back,” he said. “So in the process I started interviewing people in our community and the EPA and I attended a couple of educational workshops.”

From talking with Deb Oexmann at Brukner Nature Center, to people from the EPA and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Mayor realized how much more than a ‘natural place’ a scenic river is and how each person contributes both in good ways and bad ways to Ohio waterways.

“I had no idea that we have been for the past 40 years regulated under the Clean Water Act,” Mayor said. “I didn’t know what that meant, so I started piecing together that story and why it is important. I learned what conservation means and the preservation of a resource for the greater good for the most peo-

if not build upon it, as his rivals continue working to derail him even as their options for doing so narrow with each victory he notches.

The former Massachusetts governor held a double-digit lead Sunday morning over his nearest pursuer as the totals mounted in Nevada, where fellow Mormons accounted for roughly a quarter of all caucus-goers.

Gingrich and Texas Rep. Ron Paul vied for a distant second.

Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum trailed the field.

Santorum won the leadoff caucuses in Iowa and has trailed in the contests since then. He nonetheless insisted on Sunday that “our numbers are moving up continually.”

“I think we’re going to show improvement. This race is a long long way from being over,” Santorum said on Fox News Sunday.

And on ABC’s “This Week,” Paul maintained the results show voters are still up for grabs.

“I get energized because I know there’s a large number of people who are looking for another option,” Paul said.

With votes from 71 percent of the precinct caucuses tallied, Romney had 48 percent, Gingrich 23 per-

Israel may attack Iran this spring in an attempt to set back the Islamic republic’s nuclear program.

Obama refused to say whether the United States would get notice from Israel before any potential strike on Iran.

“I will say that we have closer military and intelligence consultation between our two countries than we’ve ever had,” Obama said, adding, “We are going to be sure that we work in lockstep as we proceed to try to solve this — hopefully diplomatically.”

The United States is leading that persuasion initiative, even though Washington largely has concluded that outside argument will have little effect on Israeli decision-making.

Turnout was down significantly from 2008, when Romney also won the state’s GOP caucuses.

More than 24 hours after caucuses began, results from the state’s most populous county were still being tallied. The outcome could affect the second- and thirdplace finishers.

“Our goal is to finish verification,” said Clark County GOP spokeswoman Bobbie Haseley. “There is no modern technology when it comes to how the voting took place and the counting.”

Romney’s victory capped a week that began with his double-digit win in the Florida primary. That contest was as intense as Nevada’s caucuses were sedate __ so quiet that they produced little television advertising, no candidate debates and only a modest investment of time by the contenders.

A total of 28 Republican National Convention delegates were at stake in caucuses held across the sprawling state. Romney won at least 10, Gingrich at

least four, Paul at least three and Santorum at least two. Eight were still to be determined.

That gives Romney a total of 97, including endorsements from Republican National Committee members who will automatically attend the convention and can support any candidate they choose. Gingrich has 30, Santorum 16 and Paul seven. It will take 1,144 delto win the egates Republican nomination.

Preliminary results of a poll of Nevada Republicans entering their caucuses showed that nearly half said the most important consideration in their decision was a candidate’s ability to defeat President Barack Obama this fall, a finding in line with other states.

About one-quarter of those surveyed said they were Mormon, roughly the same as in 2008, when Romney won with more than a majority of the vote in a multi-candidate field.

The entrance poll was conducted by Edison Research for The Associated Press at 25 randomly selected caucus sites.

Super Bowl ad raises sensitivity question LANSING, Mich. (AP) — The portrayal of a young Asian woman speaking broken English in a Super Bowl ad being run by U.S. Senate candidate Pete Hoekstra against Michigan incumbent Debbie Stabenow is bringing charges of racial insensitivity.

GOP consultant Nick De Leeuw flat-out scolded the Holland Republican for the ad.

“Stabenow has got to go.

But shame on Pete Hoekstra for that appalling new advertisement,” De Leeuw wrote on his Facebook page Sunday morning. “Racism and xenophobia aren’t any way to get things done.”

The nonpartisan Asian & Pacific Islander American Vote group’s Michigan chapter said it was “deeply disappointed” by the ad, noting that the Asian-American

said. “It could have a big effect on oil prices. We’ve still got troops in Afghanistan, which borders Iran.”

As for the danger of retaliation by Iran against the United States, Obama said, “We don’t see any evidence that they have those intentions or capabilities right now.”

Obama said Iran is feeling the pinch of sanctions but Israel is rightfully worried about its security.

On the economy, Obama was pressed about a prediction he made three years ago on Super Bowl Sunday: “If I don’t have this done in three years, then there’s gonna be a one-term proposition.” Republican leaders, including former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, the frontrunner for the party’s presidential nomination, have seized on that remark as millions of people are still hurting economically.

community is a major contributor to Michigan’s economy.

In 2010, Michigan’s 236,490 Asian-Americans made up 2.4 percent of the state’s population, up 35 percent from 2000.

“It is very disturbing that Mr. Hoekstra’s campaign chose to use harmful negative stereotypes that intrinsically encourage anti-Asian sentiment,” the group said in a statement.

Hoekstra campaign spokesman Paul Ciaramitaro said the ad is meant to be satirical.

Hoekstra’s Facebook page, which by early evening was getting a barrage of criticism on the ad, snapped back that those “trying to make this an issue of race demonstrates their total ignorance of job creation policies.”

On YouTube, the ratings buttons on the ad were disabled after it aired.

“Democrats talk about race when they can’t defend their records,” Ciaramitaro said.

Anne Frank Anne Frank was born to Otto Frank and his wife Edith on June 12, 1929. They named her Annelies Marie.

She had a sister Margot who was three years older. They were a Jewish family living in Germany. Their families had lived in Germany for centuries.

By 1932, Adolph Hitler had risen to power in Germany and instead of enjoying a democracy, the German people now suffered under the rule of a dictator. Hitler blamed the Jews for all the problems in the country. Otto realized it was becoming unsafe for his family in Germany and moved them to the Netherlands. He set up a company in Amsterdam making a product that the women used to make homemade jam. It was called Opekta.

(Pectin is derived from fruits and will cause jelly and jam to jell. In America you can buy a pectin product called Sure Jell.)

The family was safe for a while, but then in 1940, the Germans invaded the Netherlands and began to arrest and persecute the Jews there.

They put restrictions on the Jews and made them wear an identifying yellow star on their clothes. They could not own a business. They could not ride a bicycle. Life became very hard, and the Jews feared for their lives.

Margot, Anne's sister was called to report to a work camp in Germany.

The family had been planning a hiding place, but with Margot's call-up they knew they had to hide immediately.

And so they did. The date was July 6, 1942.

The hiding place became known as the Secret Annex. It was located at 263 Prinsengracht. The Frank family would occupy two rooms on the first floor. A week later Mr. and Mrs. Van Pels and their son would move into the two rooms on the second floor.

From Peter's tiny room they could access the attic where food was stored. There was a small bathroom on the first floor.

The first thing they did was make curtains to prevent anyone from seeing in. An eighth person, Fritz Pfeffer, an older man, a dentist, arrived in November and would share a room with Anne.

Father Voskuijl made a movable bookcase to hide the door through which they entered their quarters.

There were four people who

helped them during the two years and 30 days they were in hiding. Miep Gies, Victor Kugler, Johannes Kleiman and Bep Voskuijl provided food for them, and at great personal risk to their own lives visited daily and brought news from the outside world.

The people in hiding must be very quiet when the warehouse workers are at work downstairs. They can move around when the men are gone for lunch, and at 5:30 in the afternoon when the workers leave the building Anne and the others are free to go downstairs into the office area. Anne calls it their "nightly freedom."

The Franks had brought school books for an extended stay and library books are brought to the group weekly. They spend a lot of time reading, studying, and working correspondence courses.

Anne writes in her diary. She creates an imaginary friend "Kitty" with whom she shares her innermost thoughts in her writings. Sometimes she writes short stories. After hearing on a radio broadcast that there would be a collection of the diaries and writings made during the war, Anne begins to think about making her writings into a book. After a lot of thought she decides she will call it "Achterhuis" (Secret Annex).

She begins rewriting her entries, leaving out some very personal items she would rather not share. For over two months she works rewriting her diaries.

On August 4, 1944, the people in hiding were discovered. Someone, they never found out who, betrayed them and a Secret Service officer and three men of the Dutch police force came up the stairs, entered with guns, and herded them away to jail. The two men who had been helping them were also arrested and taken to the city

prison. The two women helpers, Miep and Bep, were left behind. They went into Anne's small room. Her diaries were scattered all over the floor. They collected them and Miep kept them.

The eight people are taken to a transit camp, Westerbork. From that camp people are taken to extermination and concentration camps. During the month they are there they have to break up old batteries. On September 2, 1944 their names appear on the list of people to be moved. They are put on freight cars and three days later they arrive at the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. The people in the freight cars were divided. Men and women were separated and then they were divided into groups; one group would go to labor camps, and those who could not work would be killed in the gas chamber.

By the end of October, Anne and her sister Margot are transferred to another camp, Bergen-Belsen. They both become ill there and died of typhus in March 1945. They died just a few weeks before the British Army arrived and freed the prisoners.

The four helpers survived the war and so did Anne's father, Otto Frank.

He searched desperately for word of the fate of his family. Finally in July he met two sisters who witnessed the death of Anne and Margot.

After Otto learned of the death of his daughters, Miep gave him the pages of the diary she had been saving. He was surprised at the depth of her writings. This was an Anne he never knew. He honored her wish to have her writings published as a book.

First the book was published in the Dutch* language, then German, French, and English. The book was made into a stage play, then into a film.

Today when you see the word "Holocaust" it usually refers to this time in which the German Army systematically killed nearly 6 million Jews.

People need to learn about the Holocaust and the reasons why it happened, lest periods of hatred and discrimination cause a similar genocide.

Some say it never happened at all, but we know it did because there are too many witnesses and survivors who lived to tell the world about those darkest of times.

Today if you visit the site of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp you can see a memorial to Anne Frank and her sister Margot.

Josh Franklin’s Far Out Family Blog

Today I met a man, a black man. His name is John Langston. He is neither a freed slave nor a runaway. He was born a free man, here, in the United States, in Virginia. He is a remarkable man who has been to college and who was even elected clerk in Lorain County. Now, he preaches abolition and recruits other black men for service in the Union Army.

Though I miss home, and I most truly do, meeting a man such as Mr. Langston is proof to me that I have made the right decision.

Ethan

Written by Steven Coburn-Griffis Illustrated by Isaac Schumacher Chapter Three: Week Three We take travel for granted. We’ve got cars and buses to get us around. And there are trucks, not to mention airplanes, to move more and bigger things. But back when Uncle Ethan was writing his letters, none of that existed. In fact, the fastest way of getting things from here to there was on railroads. During the Civil War, railroads were the supply lines that kept the Union army in food and clothes and bullets and stuff. They were transportation for newly enlisted soldiers heading south and for the wounded being shuttled back north. So I guess it’s not all that surprising that when abolitionists started illegally moving slaves from the southern states all the way up into Canada, they called that the Underground Railroad.

Like all railroads, the Underground Railroad had stops along the way, places where people opened their homes to runaway slaves.

Let me tell you that I am proud to say that Ohio had thirteen stops. That’s more than twice as many stops as any other state. They stretched from as far south as Riley clear up north into Sandusky and Ashtabula.

And even though we were fighting a war to emanci-

9. The people in hiding ___ 10. Anne shared her thoughts ___ 11. When they were betrayed ___ 12. Anne and her sister died ___ Answer choices: A. the Secret Police came and took them to jail.

B. had to be very quiet most of the time.

C. from Germany to the Netherlands.

D. older man, a dentist named Fritz Pfeffer.

VOCABULARY WORDS abolitionists emancipate

pate the slaves, to free them, it was still against the law to help an escaped slave. The people who were helping were risking a lot, maybe even prison time. So they did their best to keep what they were doing secret.

They built hidden rooms in their houses with tricky, secret doors and they built tunnels so that the people traveling the Underground Railroad could get in and out without being seen.

One of the cool things about now, today, is that none of that stuff is secret anymore. Sometimes, some of those Underground Railroad stops are even open to the public, part of a park system or something, so we can go and see where they were and what they were like. And like I said,

there are a bunch of them here in Ohio, so there may even be one close to where you live.

Anyway, enough about that. I’m going to fail this project if I don’t write at least a little bit about family.

Isn’t that right, Mr. W.? So, here’s the next letter: September 7, 1862 Wilf, Even as I am writing this, I am sitting in a train car. There are hundreds of us, soldiers all, waiting for the train to begin its journey, to take us, to take me, farther from home than I ever really dreamed of going. We are heading for Cincinnati and from there, most surely farther south.

And the world is stranger than ever I would have believed.

E. of typhus in a prison camp.

F. was to make curtains for the windows.

CHAPTER THREE: QUESTIONS & ACTIVITIES Locate the towns of Riley, Sandusky and Ashtabula on a map of Ohio. Using the map’s scale, calculate how far ‘riders’ on the Underground Railroad had to travel from one point another across Ohio on their way to freedom.

Do some research at your local library or online to find out if there were any Underground Railroad stops near your home. If so, how far is it to the next northern Underground Railroad ‘station’?

Look through today’s newspaper. Are there any articles about people who are helping others? Are any of them risking their freedom or even their lives to do so?

G. yellow stars on their clothes.

H. Jewish family living in Germany.

I. Margot was called to report to a work camp.

J. called the Secret Annex.

K. under the rule of the dictator Adolph Hitler.

L. with an imaginary friend in her diary.

EDITORIAL ROUNDUPS San Antonio Express-News on Mexico’s drug war.

Mexico’s drug war isn’t only a problem for Mexico. It’s also a problem for the United States.

The victims of cartel violence may overwhelmingly be Mexican citizens — 47,000 dead in six years.

The destabilization such violence creates in Mexico, however, poses economic and security threats to Americans.

The drug war is a bi-national phenomenon. The cartels reside in Mexico. The demand for illicit drugs resides in the U.S., which gives the cartels the cash they need to procure the weapons they use in their reign of terror. The weapons typically come from the U.S. as well.

If the drug war is a bi-national problem, it calls for a binational solution.

That’s why cooperative efforts such as the Merida Initiative — a $1.6 billion program to bolster Mexico’s security and judicial institutions — is so vital.

Another positive example of U.S.-Mexican As I cooperation came recently from Washington.

For the first time in years, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reworked nutrition rules for school meals. The effort was billed as a step in the fight against childhood obesity, and part of Michelle Obama’s pet Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act. New rules will limit the number of calories served and require schools to offer more fruits, vegetables and whole grains, among other changes.

All this sounds fantastic, but the details do not bear up under scrutiny.

Gridlock and ineffective leadership meant the new rules will not touch one of students’ favorite sources of fat, salt and starch.

French fries were saved, and remain on the “vegetables” list, through the efforts of lawmakers and lobbyists.

Worse, another food of which schools will be able to serve more, because of its designation as a vegetable, is pizza. Yes, that doughy, greasy, cheesy treat covered in fatty pepperoni is, according to the federal government, a vegetable by virtue of the dollop of tomato sauce on each slice As always, it is the parents’ job to teach their children how to eat healthy foods in sensible portions.

Now, however, the federal government has forced them to also explain why pizza and French fries — frowned upon as junk foods in their health class textbooks — are considered vegetables in the cafeteria.

DOONESBURY

Facing fourth and the goal of clarity to go To fully grasp the depth of my former naiveté about sports, you need to understand I married a football coach during the month of October.

In any just universe, this would grant me the right to claim somewhat of a tempestuous introduction to the world of organized athletics. It was a real eye-opener, I can tell you, to discover that “fans” threw things at coaches on the sidelines, that virtually every person in the stands had vastly superior knowledge of the game than the coaching staff did, that my husband’s parents were apparently unmarried at the time of his birth, and that coaches put in approximately nine zillion hours per week, not counting breaking down film on Sundays. I also had no idea video espionage flourished in high school sports.

Over the course of 31 years, however, even the rawest neophyte begins to pick up, if not a deep, abiding, over-riding, unshakable, and darned near obsessive passion for football, then at least a little jargon and a few favorite plays. For instance, obviously it should be required to

Marla Boone Troy Daily News Columnist pass the ball on every down.

Boring stuff such as running it up the middle should incur some sort of penalty and come to think of it, it nearly always does. Also, evidently the defensive secondary should “come to the ball” and we do not refer to the senior prom.

So, not to belabor the point, football season is something of a sacred event at our house.

Monday night (as in Monday night football), is considered a high holy day. The weeks leading up to the divisional contests give the word “foreplay” a whole new meaning. Those games are simply the act of playing afore it gets serious. The exception to this is when the Browns are featured. We have given up orange

— Bonnie Freeman Great Lakes Regional Director, Operation Christmas Child

and brown and instead drape ourselves in black to get a head start on the mourning.

Those 31 years times 16 games per year times four quarters per game times 15 minutes per quarter equals a minimum of 496 hours of football. Or, as it is known at our house, just barely enough. Of course, that number does not take into consideration any post season, college or high school games. It could easily be a thousand hours. In that mindboggling amount of time, I thought I had heard every tired cliché, every trite and tried phrase, every description of every player and every play. I was wrong.

At some point in the haze of the past few weeks, an announcer made the startling observation that the player being discussed was the Allen wrench of the team. Huh? Not only do I have zero idea of what he meant, but because it is likely I had not been paying the closest possible attention, I don’t know if this is a positive comment or a negative comment.

Allen wrenches are incredibly handy if you have a hex head

screw to deal with, but they do, for example, make lousy tools with which to cut. Except for that one fairly specialized function, I can’t think of a thing an Allen wrench is good for. So I am assuming the announcer meant the player was really good at just a single football thing. Maybe he was one of those kicker guys. Or maybe a punter. (I had to check to make sure those are two separate people. Not paying attention indeed.)

Later in the broadcast, the same announcer said someone or something was like a lower body root canal. No confusion here; this is a negative comment.

There is absolutely no way to put a happy face on that.

As I continue to watch football and as I continue to try to learn the subtle nuance of this greatest of all endeavors, I have just one question.

Can a kicker guy perform a lower body root canal with an Allen wrench?

DEATHS OF NATIONAL INTEREST • Mike deGruy LOS ANGELES (AP) — Mike deGruy, an awardwinning cinematographer who spent three decades making documentary films about the ocean, was killed in a helicopter crash in eastern Australia. He was 60.

His employer, National Geographic, said Sunday that deGruy and Australian television writer-producer Andrew Wight died Saturday.

Their helicopter crashed soon after takeoff from an airstrip near Nowra, 97 miles north of Sydney, police said. Australia’s ABC News reported that Wight was piloting the copter when it crashed.

DeGruy won multiple Emmy and British Academy of Film and Television Arts, or BAFTA, awards for cinematography.

An accomplished diver and submersible pilot, the Santa Barbara resident was the director of undersea photography for James Cameron’s 2005 documentary “Last Mysteries of the Titanic.”

can imagine happening,” said lawyer Steve Downing, who represented Susan Powell’s parents, Chuck and Judy Cox, in the custody fight. “The Coxes are absolutely devastated. They were always very fearful of him doing something like this, and he did it.”

Bassett said he represented Powell free of charge because “every parent deserves the right to an attorney.”

Powell called or emailed him at least once a day, and often more than that, and in their conversations “he never once admitted doing anything regard- * Your 1st choice for complete Home Medical Equipment ing Susan. In fact, he denied it.”

Sgt. Mike Powell of the West Valley Lift Chairs City Police Department in Utah, which is handling the investigation into 1990 W. Stanfield, Troy, OH Susan Powell’s disappearance, said it 45373 • 937-335-9199 was too soon to say how Josh Powell’s www.legacymedical.net death may impact their probe.

“Mike and Andrew were like family to me,” Cameron said in a joint statement with National Geographic.

“They were my deep-sea brothers and both were true explorers who did extraordinary things and went places no human being has been.”

After spending three years at the University of Hawaii in a Marine Biology Ph.D. program, DeGruy moved to the Marshall Islands, according to his website.

He spent three years there, working as the manager of the Mid-Pacific Marine Lab, before transitioning to filmmaking.

DeGruy spent much of his early film career traveling the world, shooting for clients including the BBC, PBS and National Geographic, his website says. He later began producing and hosting the films.

David Bennett, president of Australia’s South Coast Recreational Flying Club, said deGruy and Wight had set off to film a documentary when their helicopter crashed.

Newton Local School

GRAHAM, Washington (AP) — The long, bizarre case of a Utah woman missing for two years took a horrific turn Sunday when a powerful house explosion killed the woman’s husband and his two young sons, moments after the boys arrived for a visit that was supposed to be supervised by a social worker.

Authorities say it appears the husband, Josh Powell, blew the house up on purpose.

The Child Protective Services worker brought the two boys to Powell’s home, and Powell let his sons inside — but then blocked the social worker from entering, Graham Fire and Rescue Chief Gary Franz told The Associated Press.

The social worker called her supervisors to report that she could smell gas, and moments later the home exploded. What’s left of the house was still smoking Sunday afternoon, and fire crews were mopping up the scene.

Sgt. Ed Troyer, Pierce County sheriff’s spokesman, said emails Powell sent to authorities seemed to confirm that Powell planned the deadly blast.

Troyer didn’t elaborate on the contents of the emails.

Jeffrey Bassett, who represented Powell in the custody case, said he received a three-word email from his client just minutes before Powell and the two boys died. It said, “I’m sorry, goodbye.”

The email arrived at 12:05 p.m.

Sunday, about 10 minutes before the explosion, but he didn’t see it until two hours later, when others told him Josh and the boys had been killed.

He said he knew Josh was upset

TROY TV-5

Try to take the high road during your divorce

Today: 5 p.m.: Community Bulletin Board 7:30 p.m.: INN News 9 p.m.: Around Troy

Dear Annie: I have been married nearly 30 years to someone who is a self-centered, selfish, immature mama's boy. Mama is so controlling, and yet so needy, that every time we've moved, she's moved nearby. She has switched to the same doctor and even goes to the same hair salon her "baby" uses. She gets to know the employees at these places and then interrogates them and blabs our business to everyone.

My husband has had several affairs over the years, and Mama has met every one of these women. Most of these affairs begin as a way to get these women to buy him items we cannot afford, such as cameras and computers. He gives them my old jewelry, thinking I won't notice. As soon as he gets what he wants, he dumps them.

My husband tells everyone we are in debt because I don't know how to handle money. The truth is, I am very frugal, but am unable to keep up with all the debt he has accumulated through his Internet spending. I've been on the receiving end of STDs three times. My mother-in-law is happy to be involved in all his little schemes.

I recently joined a support group and have gathered the courage to file for divorce. My question is: Do I tell my grown children and family the truth?

I've been too humiliated to admit any of this and don't want to deal with a lot of questions and drama now. — Without Common Sense, You Ain't Got Nothin' Dear Without: Your grown children are probably more aware of what's been going on than you think. But they still love their father and don't want to be stuck in the middle of feuding parents.

It is OK to correct misimpressions or lies that Mama or your soon-tobe-ex may circulate about you.

But otherwise, please take the high road. Simply say the divorce has been percolating for a long time, and you feel it's the best decision for everyone.

Dear Annie: My husband and I will be celebrating our anniversary in a few months with a big party. We will be inviting family and friends to this affair.

The problem is, we are friends with two people who divorced each other 10 years ago. They each married other people, and both couples are now part of our social circle. But the exes still avoid being in the same room. We want both couples to attend, but how do we invite them without making all four of them uncomfortable?

We're afraid if we tell one set of friends we are inviting the other, neither set will show up. — Massachusetts Dear Massachusetts: Invite whomever you wish. Do not volunteer information about the guest list, but if someone should ask, it's OK to tell them. If they say, "We won't come if So-and-So is invited," your response should be, "We understand. We'll miss you."

Dear Annie: You gave a good answer to "Frustrated in Colorado" regarding her racist mother-in-law's reaction to her adopted daughter. I, too, was adopted by a woman whose mother was bigoted.

My mother didn't like the way her parents responded to me, but since she was their only child, she chose not to deprive them of her visits. My grandfather, while outwardly rejecting me, privately had me sit on his lap and read the Bible to him. He also gave me candy and treats, so I knew he cared about me. I don't hold their faults against them. It was a different time. I understand they had their limits. I treasure the time I had with my grandparents.

It is better to focus on the positives than the negatives, at least with family, which you cannot choose. — One Person's Opinion Dear One: Most of our readers did not agree that there could be any benefit to a relationship, so we greatly appreciate your take on the subject.

SATURDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

How should I clean my stainless-steel dishwasher?

Dear Heloise: Thank you for all the helpful hints you have shared in the WinstonSalem (N.C.) Journal. I remember the hint about how to clean a dishwasher with a stained interior. The reader told us to run two packages of lemon drink mix through a cycle in the dishwasher. It worked!

My son has a dishwasher with a stainless-steel interior.

Will lemon drink mix clean it, or would you suggest something else? — Frances in North Carolina Frances, thanks for the nice words, and I love your newspaper. Don’t you love simple

Hints from Heloise Columnist hints that work? The lemon drink mix works because it contains citric acid. Some manufacturers recommend not using citric acid with a stainless-steel interior, but the small amount in the drink mix should be fine.

You also can use my triedand-true vinegar method.

Turn the dishwasher on (no detergent) and let the bottom fill with water.

Stop the cycle. Pour 2 cups of vinegar in, close the dishwasher door and let sit for 30 minutes before finishing the cycle.

Make sure to check your owners manual for recommendations. If you cannot find it, try looking online for your model. Want to know what else you can clean with vinegar? Get my pamphlet Heloise’s Fantabulous Vinegar Hints and More! To order, send $5 for each copy with a long, self-addressed, stamped (65 cents) envelope to:

Heloise/Vinegar, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. To keep ants away, wipe counters (not marble) with a mixture of half vinegar, half water. — Heloise FAST FACTS Dear Readers: Large, zippered plastic bags from bedding can be used to: • Store small wreaths in when not in use.

• Store summer/winter clothes in when not in season.

• Store children’s musical instruments.

• Make an emergency kit for a car with a blanket, etc.

• Store stuffed animals in for organization. — Heloise

ARLO AND JANIS

HOROSCOPE Monday, Feb. 6, 2012 Although you are likely to be exposed to many substantial opportunities in the year ahead, you’ll pick and choose exactly which ones you want to pursue. In doing so, you might treat some promising situations more casually than you should.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Be polite and listen to advice being given to you by someone who believes that he or she has the answers you’re looking for. There is a possibility this person knows more than you suppose.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — You’re likely to be more comfortable issuing orders than following them, but if the latter be your fate, grin and bear it. It might work out quite well.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — If you find yourself facing a financial shortfall, you can probably blame it all on one recent foolish purchase. Let’s hope it’ll serve as a deterrent for you in the future.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Don’t push your thinking on unreceptive ears. Your views are likely to mean more to you than they will to your listeners, while their outlook will be what counts to them.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You’re in a dangerous head space at this time. You could lull yourself into a false sense of security by believing you’re in a stronger position than you actually are.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Be realistic and pragmatic about the resources you have at hand instead of depending on what you believe to be coming in. If the money isn’t in your pocket, it’s not a sure thing.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — The only folks you can expect to come through for you will be the little people in your life, not the big shots. Don’t embarrass yourself by making a request of the latter.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — If you feel you’ve been taken advantage of, the blame could actually fall on you, for making a commitment you shouldn’t have made in the first place. Learn from this experience.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Don’t be taken in by a carrot dangling from the end of a stick. You should know that no one is likely to give you anything without you contributing the initial favor.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Keep in mind that optimism can be an asset, but wishful thinking does nothing. Make certain that unrealistic objectives aren’t a contributing factor to a downfall.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — When you set your mind to acquiring something, you can be an extremely industrious person. Take care you don’t spend more time discussing your intentions than fulfilling them.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — There is a strong possibility that you could be tempted by a tantalizing challenge in which the odds are tilted against you. Remember Don Quixote when he jousted with windmills.

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 branches are Union 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.

If you have questions regarding scams like these or others, please contact the Ohio Attorney General’s office at (800)282-0515.

Vikings earn No. 2 seed in Tipp City sectional

BY COLIN FOSTER Sports Writer cfoster@tdnpublishing.com Not every team has the luxury of getting a firsthand look at the team they will face in tournament.

Miami East, however, is the exception.

East plays Arcanum for a chance at winning the outright Cross County Conference title on Thursday, then the secondseeded Vikings will turn around and take on the No. 11 Trojans once again on Feb. 14 in the first round of the Division III Sectional tournament at Tippecanoe High School. The tip is scheduled for 7:30 p.m..

“We’re happy (getting a No. 2 seed). It’s a testament

to our girls’ hard work throughout the year,” Miami East coach Preston Elifritz said. “Arcanum in the first round and MiltonUnion in the second round, then potentially another rematch with Versailles (in the sectional final). We kind of expected that.”

The Vikings will need to get through No. 9 seed Milton-Union (8-10) in the second round to earn a spot in the sectional final.

Milton-Union coach Richard Cline opted for the first-round bye. His team plays the winner of the East-Arcanum game on Feb. 21.

Versailles, the No. 3 seed in Division III, was ousted

by East in the sectional final last year and also lost

MIAMI COUNTY to the Vikings 55-36 on Saturday in Casstown. The Tigers have to get by Northridge and Brookville in order to set up another showdown with East.

The Anna Rockets — the defending D-III State champs — were selected as the No. 1 seed in the Tippecanoe sectional. The Rockets, out of the Shelby County League, earned that seed with an 18-0 record on the season.

And it seemed like almost every coach at the draw wanted to stay away from the Rockets. Dixie, however, was assigned to play Anna by default, being the last seeded team in the

sectional.

When the Dixie coach found out his team’s fate, he jokingly asked “Can we just pass?”

• D-IV Brookville Due to restructuring by the Ohio High School Athletic Association, there are now three sectionals being held at Brookville.

Covington was the highest-seeded area team in the Division IV, earning a No. 2 seed in the Brookville sectional.

But the Buccs weren’t the only CCC team getting a high seed, as the Newton Indians got the No. 4 seed in Brookville.

The Buccs (10-8) play Twin Valley South, the No. 14 seed, at 2 p.m. on Feb. 18, while the Indians (10-8)

■ College Basketball

have a bye in the first round. Newton plays the winner of No. 3 Southeastern (9-10) and No. 13 Ansonia (3-16) at 7:30 p.m on Feb. 21.

Covington and Newton are in separate brackets.

Tri-Village is the No. 1 seed at Brookville.

The Patriots (18-1) play 0-19 Jefferson in the first round. Bethel (2-16), which earned a No. 15 seed, awaits the winner of that game with a bye in the first round. The Bees play at 6 p.m. on Feb. 23.

Bradford is in the same bracket with the Bees and the Patriots.

The Railroaders (8-10) are the No. 12 seed overall and will play Emmanuel Christian at 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 23 for

the right to earn a spot in the sectional final.

• Sidney Triad (18-0) earned the No. 1 seed in the Division IV Sidney Sectional.

That means in order to reach district, Lehman, which earned a No. 7 seed, will have to get through the Cardinals. But first, the Cavaliers (9-10) must play No. 5 seed Houston (10-8) at 6 p.m. on Feb. 22.

In the top part of the bracket, the Troy Christan Eagles (6-12) were selected as the No. 9 seed. The Eagles have a first-round bye, awaiting the winner of the game between No. 2 Ft. Loramie and No. 10 Riverside.

The Eagles play at 7:40 p.m. on Feb. 21.

Miami upsets No. 7 Duke Trojans face DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — Leave it to the biggest player on Miami’s roster to put the Hurricanes on his back and carry them to their most impressive victory in quite a while.

Reggie Johnson all 6foot-10 and 284 pounds of him scored five of his careerhigh 27 points in overtime of Miami’s 78-74 upset of No. 7 Duke on Sunday.

Johnson added a seasonhigh 12 rebounds and was a handful all game for the Blue Devils to deal with.

Miami outrebounded them 48-43 and outscored them 38-26 in the paint.

“I feel I had the hot hand the whole game,” Johnson said, adding that first-year coach Jim Larranaga “was trying to ride me a whole lot.

My teammates found me in good positions catch and score.”

Kenny Kadji added 15 points for the Hurricanes (14-7, 5-3 Atlantic Coast Conference), who blew a 16point lead in the second half, then regrouped to claim their first big victory for their new coach.

“To come in here and play with the kind of poise we did, play the kind of defense we did especially in the first half and in the overtime was something that we can be very, very proud of,” Larranaga said.

That poise gave Miami its first victory at Cameron Indoor Stadium and just its second win over Duke since joining the ACC. The Hurricanes are on their first four-game winning streak since 2008 and have won three consecutive ACC road games for the first time.

Seth Curry scored 22 points and freshman Austin Rivers added 20 for the Blue Devils (19-4, 6-2), who appeared listless while falling into that deep deficit before waking up with about 16 minutes left.

Then, they missed all six of their free throws in overtime and wound up being beaten at home by a Florida-based conference rival for the second time this season.

“A Duke team should play with energy for 40 min-

Duke’s Miles Plumlee defends as Miami’s Reggie Johnson shoots during the second half Sunday in Durham, N.C. utes, or 45,” coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “Go outside right now and you look at the banners there are quite a few of them up there.

They were not won without energy, without hunger, with no complacency, with people really wanting it.

“And we’ve wanted it a lot, and we’ve won a lot.

We’re supposed to play hard and with energy all the time. Those are givens.

Those should be givens.”

Mason Plumlee added 13 rebounds for Duke, which had its 45-game home winning streak snapped two weeks ago by No. 21 Florida State. The Blue Devils have lost two of three at Cameron

and have dropped multiple home games for the first time since going 15-4 there in 2006-07.

No. 9 Michigan St. 64, No. 23 Michigan 54 EAST LANSING, Mich.

— Draymond Green had 14 points and 16 rebounds to lead Michigan State.

The Spartans (18-5, 7-3 Big Ten) ended a threegame skid in the rivalry and moved into sole possession of second place in the conference behind third-ranked Ohio State.

The Wolverines (17-7, 74) haven’t won or lost consecutive games in nearly a month.

Green, who matched

Michigan’s rebound total by himself, played after spraining his left knee on Tuesday in a loss to Illinois.

Michigan’s Tim Hardaway Jr. missed his first six shots and had a season-low four points on 1-of10 shooting. Freshman Trey Burke finished with 11 points on 4-of-11 shooting.

The Spartans took control with a 17-7 run early in the first half and pulled away with eight straight points to take a 57-40 lead with just under 3 minutes left.

Michigan State outrebounded the Wolverines 4016, including 12-3 on the offensive glass.

Troy is used to be the team with someone to go after come tournament draw time.

Sunday, the Trojans let the board come to them.

Troy took the No. 8 seed with a 12-6 record, and with the top three seeds — Springboro, Fairmont and Fairborn — spreading themselves out over the three sectionals to choose from, Troy coach Nathan Kopp went into a relatively empty section of the Division I Dayton 3 board.

And No. 9 Beavercreek followed right after.

“We just went up on the board. We knew it’d be a pretty quick turnaround,” Kopp said.

Both teams are familiar with each other already — the Trojans lost to the Beavers 36-26 on Dec. 15 at Beavercreek in one off the Trojans’ more stinging off nights of the year.

Troy connected on only nine field goals in the game and was 6 for 15 from the free throw line, while Beavercreek managed only 11 makes from the field — and went 10 for 13 from the free throw line, which proved to be the difference in the defensive battle.

“We didn’t play well at all the first time around,” Kopp said. “We’re hoping to play better this time.”

A game between either No. 7 Wilmington or No. 10 Wayne awaits the winner in the second round, with a potential showdown against last year’s state runner-up No. 2 Fairmont awaiting in the sectional final.

But for the Trojans, there’s still two things to worry about before the tournament starts — Sidney and Piqua.

“Our goal is still to win

MIAMI COUNTY the league (Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division,” Kopp said.

“We’ve still got two games left before the tournament that are pretty important.

That will be our focus until those games are over.”

“We’re just worried about trying to win one game (in the tournament), and we’ll take it one game at a time from there.”

Troy’s first-round game against Beavercreek will be played at 3 p.m. Feb. 18 at a site to be determined — the Trojans cannot play at their home gym, and the games in the Dayton 3 sectional will be played at Troy High School.

Piqua drew the No. 16 seed and chose a firstround game against No. 5 Tecumseh in the Dayton 1 sectional, which will be played at 6 p.m. Feb. 15 at Lebanon High School.

• Division II Tippecanoe won’t be seeing rival Kenton Ridge three times this season.

Last season, the Red Devils lost all three games to the Cougars, including in the Division II Sectional final. This season — despite two head-to-head victories over Kenton Ridge — Tippecanoe was seeded lower, taking the No. 3 to the Cougars’ No. 2, and ended up on the opposite half of the board.

Instead, the Devils will have top-seeded Carroll to contend with in a potential sectional final matchup.

The Patriots knocked off the Devils 59-43 in the second game of the season, but Tippecanoe is 2-1 against Carroll in the past four postseasons.

First, Tippecanoe will have to get through No. 13 Northeastern in the first round at 6 p.m. Feb. 16 at Xenia High School, with No. 7 Graham waiting in the second round.

Stanley rallies to win Phoenix Open SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.

(AP) — Kyle Stanley rebounded from a devastating loss to win the Phoenix Open, overcoming an eightstroke deficit Sunday in a comeback as unlikely as his collapse last week at Torrey Pines.

In tears seven days ago in San Diego after blowing a big lead dropping the final strokes with a triple-bogey 8 on the final hole and losing a playoff, Stanley took advantage of Spencer Levin’s meltdown Sunday to win his first PGA Tour title.

“I’m not sure what I’m thinking right now,” Stanley said. “I just needed to focus AP PHOTO on playing golf. I needed to Kyle Stanley chips out of the desert and onto the put last week behind me.”

17th green during the final round of the Phoenix Stanley closed with a Open golf tournament Sunday in Scottsdale, Ariz. bogey-free 6-under 65, hol-

ing a 4-foot par putt on the par-4 18th, to finish at 15under 269.

He cried again, this time tears of joy.

“I just want to thank my mom and dad. They’ve done a lot for me. I’m speechless,” Stanley said in the scoring area moments after the victory.

Ben Crane had a 66 to finish a stroke back.

Levin, six strokes ahead entering the round and seven in front after one hole, shot a 75 to finish two strokes behind Stanley.

“I just didn’t have it,” Levin said. “Maybe I was looking ahead too much and trying too hard. What are you going to do? I tried my best.”

The 24-year-old Stanley, the long-hitting former

Clemson star from Gig Harbor, Wash., birdied the par-5 13th and par-4 14th to take a one-stroke lead at 15 under.

Levin, winless on the PGA Tour, birdied the 14th to regain a share of the lead, but dropped back with a double-bogey 7 on the par-5 15th.

“I really feel for him,” Stanley said. “You don’t want to wish that on anyone. He’s a very good player. … I feel bad for him.”

Stanley parred the final three holes, playing a great recovery shot from under cactus to the right of the short par-4 17th.

He birdied Nos. 2, 3, 8, 9 and 11 to get to 13 under, and within three strokes of the faltering Levin.

Levin birdied No. 4 to

reach 18 under, but bogeyed Nos. 4 and 6 and dropped two more strokes on Nos. 11 and 12 to let Stanley into the mix.

“I don’t really know,” Levin said. “I felt all right early.”

Last week at Torrey Pines, Stanley led by seven shots early in the final round, and still had a fourshot lead as he stood on the tee at the par-5 18th.

But his third shot had too much spin and didn’t get high enough on the green, spinning quickly down the slope and into the water. He three-putted from 45 feet for the triple bogey, then lost to Brandt Snedeker on the second playoff hole when his 5-foot par putt caught the right edge of the cup.

TROY DAILY NEWS â&#x20AC;˘ WWW.TROYDAILYNEWS.COM

Costly gamble Giants make Pats pay for desperate move INDIANAPOLIS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw looked back, saw no one chasing him, and paused at the goal line.

Could it really be this easy to score the winning touchdown in a Super Bowl game?

The latest showdown between the Giants and the Patriots came down not to a last-minute touchdown pass

by Eli Manning but a touchdown run that was set up by a desperate defensive gamble

by New England, leading 1715 in the final moments.

Knowing the Giants were in position to run out the clock and kick a winning field goal, the Patriots went soft and seemed to let Bradshaw score on a 6-yard run with no resistance for a 21-17 lead with 57 seconds left.

Seemingly surprised that no one was trying to grab him, Bradshaw paused at the goal line and flipped into the end zone with a flourish. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, man, it was the best feeling in my life,â&#x20AC;? Bradshaw said.

Bradshaw plopped into the end zone painted with the Giantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; logo and then he and his teammates watched to see if Tom Brady could pull off a long-shot chance, an 80yard touchdown drive with little time.

Couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it.

Brady got the Patriots to their own 49-yard line with 5 seconds left. On the final play, he eluded a rush and threw into the middle of the end zone, where a pack of players from both teams jumped and clawed for the ball.

It skittered out of the scrum and secured another last-minute Super Bowl win for the Giants. Four years ago, they scored the winning touchdown on Manningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pass in the closing minute, then held on to end New Englandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s try for a perfect season with a 17-14 victory.

The Patriots wanted to avoid getting into the same situation all over again, and had a chance when they got the ball back at their own 8yard line with 9:24 to go.

They had their chance, driving to midfield while draining the clock. It slipped off their fingertips when Wes Welker couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come down with a pass at the 20-yard line and only 4 minutes to go.

After one more incompletion, the Patriots punted and soon found themselves in the unwanted position of having to gamble on defense.

A Giant victory NY beats NE in Super Bowl XLVI, 21-17 INDIANAPOLIS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Take that, Brady. You too, Peyton.

Eli Manning is the big man in the NFL after oneupping Tom Brady and leading the New York Giants to a 21-17 victory over the New England Patriots in Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Super Bowl â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in older brother Peytonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house, at that.

Just as Manning did four years ago when the ruined New Giants Englandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perfect season, he guided them 88 yards to the decisive touchdown, which the Patriots didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t contest as Ahmad Bradshaw ran 6 yards with 57 seconds left.

Patriots coach Bill Belichick reasoned the Giants would run the clock down and kick a short field goal, so he gambled by allowing the six points.

The gamble failed.

And now Manning not only has stamped himself as the elite quarterback he claimed to be when the season began â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in the same class as Brady â&#x20AC;&#x201D; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beaten the Patriots in two thrilling Super Bowls. The Giants (13-7), who stood 77 in mid-December, now own the football world, and

beyond the grasp of All-Pro tight end Rob Gronkowski.

New England (15-4), winner of 10 straight since a loss to the Giants in November, was done. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought we played very competitive. â&#x20AC;Ś We were in the lead for a good part of the game. We just came up a couple of plays short,â&#x20AC;? Belichick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel good after you lose this game.â&#x20AC;?

Brady headed off with his head bowed, holding his helmet, while around him was the wild celebration by the Giants, NFL champions for the eighth â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and perhaps most unlikely â&#x20AC;&#x201D; time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Great toughness, great faith, and great plays by a number of guys today,â&#x20AC;?

Manning said, deflecting some of the attention. Still, he one-upped Brady. And Peyton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just feels good to win a Super Bowl, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter where you are,â&#x20AC;?

Manning said.

It was the fifth trip to a Super Bowl for Brady and Belichick, tying the record.

And it looked like a successful one when they stormed back from a 9-0 deficit and led 17-9 in the

third quarter. But the Giants, who reached New England territory on every possession except a kneeldown at the end of the first half, got field goals of 38 and 33 yards from Lawrence Tynes. And it looked like Tynes, who kicked them into the Super Bowl four years ago at Green Bay and again this year at San Francisco, both in overtime, would get called on again.

Then Belichick, known to try just about anything in a game, took a risk that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay off.

The Giants are the first Super Bowl winner that was outscored during the regular season. They were 6-2 after that 24-20 victory at New England, then lost four straight and five of six.

Coach Tom Coughlin insisted â&#x20AC;&#x153;the prizeâ&#x20AC;? was still within reach. Now the Giants are holding tight to that Vince Lombardi Trophy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What I was concerned with was these guys making their own history,â&#x20AC;?

Coughlin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is such a wonderful thing, these guys carving their own history.â&#x20AC;?

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Man-ning!

Got Gold?

Monday-Saturday 10-9, Sunday 12-6

Manning owns two Super Bowl MVP awards, the same number as Brady. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a wild game, a wild season,â&#x20AC;? Manning said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about one person. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about one team, a team coming together.â&#x20AC;?

Manning led six comeback victories during the season and set an NFL record with 15 fourth-quarter touchdown passes. He showed that brilliance in the clutch on the winning drive. He completed five passes, including a sensational 38-yard sideline catch by Mario Manningham to open the drive.

On second down at the Patriots 6 and with only one timeout remaining, Belichick had his defense stand up as Bradshaw took the handoff. Bradshaw thought about stopping short of the end zone, then tumbled in untouched. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was yelling to him, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t score, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t score,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Manning said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He tried to stop, but he fell into the end zone.â&#x20AC;?

Brady couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t answer in the final 57 seconds, although his desperation pass into the end zone on the final play fell just

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers has won the 2011 Associated Press NFL Most Valuable Player award in a landslide.

Rodgers earned 48 votes to two for New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees in balloting by a nationwide panel of 50 media members who regularly cover the NFL. The Packers star is the first Green Bay player honored since Brett Favre concluded a run of three straight seasons as MVP in 1997. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It means a lot to be recognized as a consistent player and contributing on my team,â&#x20AC;? Rodgers said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an award that relies on a player having the support of his obviously, teammates, guys blocking, guys running, guys catching, guys making plays. But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very honored to receive the award.â&#x20AC;?

Rodgers received a standing ovation after his name was announced by Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning, the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only four-time MVP. The award was presented on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;NFL Honorsâ&#x20AC;? primetime special Saturday night on NBC. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all really excited to see you back on the field next year,â&#x20AC;? Rodgers told Manning.

Rodgers led the NFL in passing with a 122.5 rating built on 45 touchdown passes, six interceptions and a 68.3 completion percentage as the Packers went 15-1 and won the NFC North. The Packers were beaten by the New York Giants at Lambeau Field in the divisional round.

Eli Manning wins 2nd Super Bowl MVP award INDIANAPOLIS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Eli Manning is elite, for sure.

A king of comebacks, too. And far, far more than Peytonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s little brother now.

Spot-on from beginning to end Sunday night, Eli Manning won his second NFL championship and second Super Bowl MVP award for leading the New York Giants to a 21-17 victory over the New England Patriots.

Manning went 30 for 40 for 296 yards, with one touchdown pass and zero interceptions. He opened the game by becoming the first quarterback to complete his first nine attempts in a Super Bowl. And he finished his work by directing the nine-play, 88-yard TD drive that put New York ahead with 57 seconds left.

It started on New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 12, with a little more than 3 minutes left, and ended with Ahmad Bradshaw easing into the end zone from 6 yards out. The Patriots decided not to contest the run, trying to save some time on the clock for a final drive an audacious and risky decision

by Patriots coach Bill Belichick. But New England couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the ball back in the end zone, with Tom Bradyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final pass falling just beyond the grasp of tight end

Manning also was the MVP in 2008, when his scoring pass to Plaxico Burress in the final minute allowed New York to upset Brady and New England, ruining the Patriotsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bid for a perfect season.

Manning now is one of only five players in NFL history with multiple Super Bowl MVP awards. He joined

the guy he one-upped yet again in the big game, Brady, along with Terry Bradshaw, Bart Starr and Joe Montana (the only one with three).

And Manning did it in the House that Peyton Built, the stadium where his Big Bro a four-time regular-season MVP but owner of only one Super Bowl title plays for the Indianapolis Colts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just feels good to win a

Super Bowl. Doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter where you are,â&#x20AC;? Manning said, clutching the silver Vince Lombardi Trophy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a wild season. We had a great, tough bunch of guys who never quit, and had faith in each other. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud of these guys sticking together.â&#x20AC;?

As usual, he was as good as it gets down the stretch, in the crucible of the fourth quarter.

Manning led six gamewinning drives to bring New York back from fourth-quarter deficits in the regular season. So it came as no surprise he was cool as could be Sunday, when he was 10 of 14 for 118 yards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a bunch of them this year,â&#x20AC;? Manning said.

The greatest comeback of all, though, probably was the way Manning â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with plenty of help, of course â&#x20AC;&#x201D; steered the Giants back after they lost five of six games in one stretch to fall to 7-7. From there, they won their last two regular-season games against the Jets and Cowboys to sneak into the playoffs as the NFC East champions, then continued their surge with four postseason wins in a row, none at home.
