Never forgotten North Carolina man discovers his father’s link to Pearl Harbor attack

Struggle to cope continues in Philippines

AP

The government’s geological hazard maps show why this farming community was largely washed away by a powerful typhoon: “highly susceptible to flooding and landslides.” That didn’t stop some villagers from rebuilding Thursday, even with bodies still lying under the mud.

Most of the more than 370 people confirmed dead from Typhoon Bopha were killed in the steep mountain valley that includes New Bataan, a town crisscrossed by rivers and cleared from lush hillsides by banana, coconut, cocoa and mango farmers in 1968. See Page 10.

Mike Moore, himself retired military, shares a photo of his father, Charlie, who was a World War II veteran and who told his son a harrowing story about the day the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. He was there — and survived.

GOLDSBORO, N.C. (AP) — He didn’t say much about their discovery — the man whose young sons were taking turns trying on their find in the attic of the family home.

It’s been more than 50 years, but Mike Moore can still see hear his father’s reaction.

“All he would say was, ‘That’s my uniform,’” he said. “That was it.”

The boys didn’t press him.

At the time, they didn’t know they

had a reason to.

They had no idea that there was a story behind that outfit — that their father, Charlie, nearly died in it when America fell under attack Dec. 7, 1941.

Charlie was leaving a dining hall when the sound of aircraft approaching prompted him to look skyward.

“He looked up and he saw the aircraft with the rising sun on them …

Apple to make Macs in U.S. Apple CEO Tim Cook says the company will produce one of its existing lines of Mac computers in the United States next year.

Cook made the comments in part of an interview taped for NBC’s “Rock Center,” but aired Thursday morning on “Today” and posted on the network’s website. In a separate interview with Bloomberg Businessweek, he said that the company will spend $100 million in 2013 to move production of the line to the U.S. from China.

Richards Chapel volunteer Joan Voorhis holds the door open Thursday during lunch at Richards Chapel. “It’s just become part of my life,” Voorhis said referring to volunteering at Richards Chapel.

Officials say about 3,000 gallons of oil have spilled into the ocean from a cargo ship accident last week in the northern Bahamas.The Panamanianflagged cargo vessel is owned by Swiss-based Mediterranean Shipping Co. Its hull was breached somehow off Grand Bahama. Environment Minister Kenred Dorsett said Thursday crews collected some of the spilled oil but chemical dispersants were not used out of concern for how marine life would be affected. See Page 4.

Local city and social services leaders said they were surprised to see Miami County — and Troy specifically — highlighted on the front page of Wednesday’s USA Today for having one of the greatest increases in poverty over the past few years. While city officials said the writer omitted Census figures that would have painted a more positive picture, those working closely with the area’s poor said they are indeed serving more people.

In the piece, staffer Marisol Bello wrote, “This rural community, 22 miles north of Dayton, has seen an explosion of poverty in the past four years that is among the highest increases in the nation.” Bolstering the story was a comparison of Census figures from four years ago to today. Last year, one in every six Miami County residents lived in poverty, versus one in 16 four years ago.

Dick Steineman, founder of St. Patrick’s Soup Kitchen and director of men’s shelter St. Joseph’s House, said the article sheds light on the growing problem of poverty but neglects to highlight the depth of services available in Troy.

Multi-media instructor and student council adviser Marti Cain keeps her high school media class of seven exceptionally productive. Not only have the six seniors and one junior created a Homecoming Highlight DVD, but they are working on a 50th high school class reunion video for former teacher Marge Mutzner, along with an elementary Christmas program and music videos.

On top of these projects, the students are in charge of posting updates to the high school’s recently revamped website, thanks to District Network Coordinator/Webmaster Levi Smith’s hard-work over the summer.

After giving the district site a fresh new look and feel that was officially relaunched Aug. 6, Smith updated the high school’s web page, too. This allowed students such as senior Emily Katafiasz a chance to showcase a far more streamlined and efficient website, along with a far smoother retrieval of files for editing, updates and any changes necessary via HTML code through the Dreamweaver program on the school’s computers.

“It’s really easy to access information now,” said Katafiasz who is currently in debate about following the media course into college as her interests hold toward psychology and sociology.

Whatever their future may hold, it is obvious the students of Cain’s media class enjoy their work.

Beyond the sometimes year-long projects as the reunion video and performing daily updates such as to the school menu, to name but a few, the students and multi-media teacher have recently collaborated to create a new page titled, “Buccaneers in Service” — a page devoted to Covington High School alumni currently serving in the armed forces. It is an idea born after Cain received an unexpected email from former student, Levi Polschneider, who had to deal with some 20,000 computers and networks during his service in Iraq.

The email revealed how Cain had made a positive and profound impression

Charlie Moore’s son, Mike, recently found these items — a Gideons Bible and a telegram sent home from Hawaii after the attack on Pearl Harbor — that confirm his father was there Dec. 7, 1941.

And when it seemed as though the worst was over, he stepped outside to survey the damage inflicted by the Japanese. “And here comes wave No. 2,â€? Mike said. “So, Daddy was a welder, so he ran back to the hangar and grabbed a tool, like a pipe ‌ he used to blow into to cool the weld, and ran to the bay. “He waded out into the bay as far as he could, went underwater, thumbed that tube to keep the water out and left the top out for air. He stayed under as long as he could.â€?

And when he finally emerged, the December sky his eyes had met on his way under had been consumed. “It was a beautiful Sunday morning and he said, ‘When I came up, I thought it was night. It was so black. There was so much fire — so much burning.’�

Smith is a computer science graduate from Wright State University, having worked at the Covington High School in the department starting his sophomore year of high school and continuing with the department, even during his college education. He believes Polschneider graduated from CHS a year before him, sometime in 200506. “We are very fortunate to have him,� continued Cain of Smith while speaking on the closeknit, if historic ties, the district keeps with their students. “It’s great to see him succeed and he’s so good with the students.�

Mike was shocked when, as he and his brother went through their parents’ house to settle the estate, they made a find more significant than their boyhood discovery more than a half-century earlier — tucked inside “a little old desk in the hallway that was stuck up under where a stove used to be� was proof of their father’s presence at Pearl Harbor.

There was a 1941 Gideons New Testament issued to Charlie and his comrades five days before the attack — and a Thanksgiving menu from the dining hall dated the same year.

But perhaps the most poignant reminder of what their father had been through was a faded piece of paper that Mike’s grandmother had preserved via lamination years ago — a telegram Charlie sent home from Hawaii just days after so many of his comrades fell. “Satisfied. Well. And working,� it reads. “It should have said, ‘Safe. Well. And working,� Mike quipped. “But his life has always been like that. He’s the kind of guy who didn’t really ever volunteer information unless someone really asked him.�

upon the student. She explained how Polschneider wrote a, “really nice letter,� and how the personal, unexpected outreach stuck with her. Enough so that after the high school website was reconstructed, “I wanted to do something.

That’s how the idea came to be.�

With her students on board, the idea culminated into an alumni page designed to highlight date and branch of service, rank, location and contact information. (See breakout) “They just don’t get any better than that,� said Cain of Polschneider’s email that struck a deep, personal chord with her, as her profession sometimes leaves her wondering if she has had an impact on her students. “Education has taken such a hit lately, with politics, the governor and other things, sometimes you are like, ‘Why am I doing this?’ You just never know.�

Though she asked that the email not be publicized in its entirety, the letter to Cain included a photo of Polschneider in uniform and a photo with Secretary of State Hilary Clinton.

Cain is thankful for the response, for her media students’ hard work, and especially for Smith’s assistance in updating the CHS site that allowed this unique opportunity to honor former students. “We normally redo ours (Website) every three years, so I went to

they’re not the type of jobs that pay enough for a family,� Richey said.

But the church is trying to help. In February, Richards Chapel will be launching Jobs for Life, a program that will provide job training and interview skills and bring employers to Troy to interviewcandidates. “It’s a program where people come in and talk about how to look for work,� Richey said. “We don’t have a bus system like most cities or a means of transportation. If you don’t have your own car, you’re pretty much in walking mode.�

Helping people find jobs and in turn feel empowered again will help turn the community around, Steineman said. “We have to find jobs for people where they get up and go to work, feel good about themselves, make some money and sustain their families,� Steineman said.

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Apple CEO Tim Cook says the company will produce one of its existing lines of Mac computers in the United States next year.

Cook made the comments in part of an interview taped for NBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rock Center,â&#x20AC;? but aired Thursday morning on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Todayâ&#x20AC;? and posted on the networkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website.

In a separate interview with Bloomberg Businessweek, he said that the company will spend $100 million in 2013 to move production of the line to the U.S. from China. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean that Apple will do it ourselves, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be working with people and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be investing our money,â&#x20AC;? Cook told Bloomberg.

Calls to Apple Inc. for comment Thursday were not immediately returned.

Like most consumer electronics companies, Apple forges agreements with contract manufacturers to assemble its products overseas. However, the assembly accounts for a fraction of the cost of making a PC or smartphone.

Most of the cost lies in buying chips, and many of those are made in the U.S., Cook noted in his interview with NBC. The company and its manufacturing partner Foxconn Technology Group have faced significant criticism this year over working conditions at the Chinese facilities where Apple products are assemThe attention bled. prompted Foxconn to raise salaries.

Cook didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say which line of computers would be produced in the U.S. or where in the country they would be made. But he told Bloomberg that the production would include more than just final assembly. That suggests that machining of cases and printing of circuit boards could take place in the U.S. The simplest Macs to assemble are the Mac Pro and Mac Mini desktop computers. Since they lack the built-in screens of the MacBooks and iMacs, they would likely be easier to separate from the Asian

display supply chain.

Regardless, the U.S. manufacturing line is expected to represent just a tiny piece of Appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overall production, with sales of iPhones and iPads now dwarfing those of its computers.

Carl Howe, an analyst with Yankee Group, likened Appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s move to Henry Fordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famous 1914 decision to double his workersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pay, helping to build a middle class that could afford to buy cars.

But Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal is probably more limited: to buy goodwill from U.S. consumers, Howe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s State of the Union 2014. President Obama wants to talk about manufacturing. Who is he going to point to in the audience? Tim Cook, the guy who brought manufacturing back from China.

And that scene is going replay over and over,â&#x20AC;?

Howe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And yeah, it may be only (public relations), but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of highvalue PR.â&#x20AC;?

Cook said in his interview with NBC that companies like Apple chose to produce their products in places like China, not because of the lower costs associated with it, but because the manufacturing skills required just arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t present in the U.S. anymore.

He added that the consumer electronics world has never really had a big production presence in the U.S. As a result, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really more about starting production in the U.S. than bringing it back, he said.

But for nearly three decades Apple made its computers in the U.S. It started outsourcing production in the mid-90s, first by selling some plants to contract manufacturers, then by hiring manufacturers overseas. It assembled iMacs in Elk Grove, Calif. until 2004.

The news comes a day after Apple posted its worst stock drop in four years, erasing $35 million in market capitalization. Appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stock rose $8.15, or 1.5 percent, to $546.94 in Thursday afternoon trading.

Cargo ship spills 3,000 gallons of oil

NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Officials say about 3,000 gallons of oil have spilled into the ocean from a cargo ship accident last week in the northern Bahamas.

The Panamanian-flagged cargo vessel is owned by Swiss-based Mediterranean Shipping Co. Its hull was breached somehow off Grand Bahama.

Environment Minister Kenred Dorsett said Thursday crews collected some of the spilled oil but chemical dispersants were

not used out of concern for how marine life would be affected.

He says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;preferable to let nature take its courseâ&#x20AC;? and allow waves to break up the fuel.

He adds that tides will carry it further into the Atlantic â&#x20AC;&#x153;where there are no land-based resources at risk.â&#x20AC;?

Bahamian authorities say they are notifying the U.S. about the spill as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;matter of duty,â&#x20AC;? not because of any anticipated problems.

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Pueblo (Colo.) Chieftain on Petraeus’ testimony on the U.S. consulate attack in Libya: Former CIA Director David Petraeus has told Congress that classified intelligence showed the deadly raid on the U.S. Consulate in Libya was a terrorist attack but the administration withheld the suspected role of al-Qaida affiliates to avoid tipping them off.

The recently resigned spy chief explained that references to terrorist groups suspected of carrying out the violence were removed from the public explanation of what caused the attack so as not to alert them that U.S. intelligence was on their trail, according to lawmakers who attended Petraeus’ private briefings.

The retired four-star general addressed the House and Senate intelligence committees in back-to-back, closed-door hearings as questions persist over what the Obama administration knew in the immediate aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks and why its public description did not match intelligence agencies’ assessments.

Republicans remain critical of the administration’s handling of the case. Sen.

It’s a welcome acknowledgement that opposing any net income tax increases regardless of the circumstances, as Norquist’s pledge requires, renders any serious effort at deficit reduction impossible.

Norquist rolled out his pledge in 1986, when maximum marginal income tax rates of 70 percent were still a recent memory.

But today, the maximum rate is 35 percent. Meanwhile, the United States has in the last decade fought two wars without seeking additional funding, and is still recovering from the worst recession in half a century. Reagan-era fiscal policies need not be binding now, as key GOP lawmakers are now explaining. “I care more about my country,” Chambliss declared recently, “than I do about a 20-year-old pledge.”

Many on the left suspect these Republicans are operating cynically; they’ll toy with accepting higher revenues, this logic goes, only to revert to a hard-line anti-tax stance in the end. But in fact, a combination of tax increases and modest entitlement reforms is necessary to bring the budget into balance over time.

And after the GOP’s election drubbing, Graham, Chambliss, and others may be making a more practical calculation: that Norquist’s pledge is hurting them and their party politically.

Whatever their reasons, any disavowal of the pledge helps to improve the political climate and make a balanced debt deal more likely.

DOONESBURY

Congressional oversight key to stopping Obamacare President Obama has won reelection, but his health care law is still driving up costs and making it harder for small businesses to hire workers. As was the case before the election, ObamaCare has to go.

As I told Diane Sawyer of ABC News in an interview following the election, the tactics of our repeal efforts will have to change.

But the strategic imperative remains the same. If we’re serious about getting our economy moving again, solving our debt, and restoring prosperity for American families, we need to repeal ObamaCare and enact common-sense, step-by-step reforms that start with lowering the cost of health care.

The president’s health care law adds a massive, expensive, unworkable government program at a time when our national debt already exceeds the size of our country’s entire economy. We can’t afford it, and we can’t afford to leave it intact. That’s why I’ve been clear that the law has to stay on the table as both parties discuss ways to solve our nation’s massive debt challenge.

Congress has a constitutional responsibility to conduct thor-

John Boehner Troy Daily News Guest Columnist ough oversight of the Executive Branch, and congressional oversight will play a critical role in repealing ObamaCare going forward.

Over the past couple of years, I have noted there are essentially three major routes to repeal of the president’s law: the courts, the presidential election process, and the congressional oversight process. With two of those three routes having come up short, the third and final one becomes more important than ever.

Vigorous oversight of the health care law by the House can be expected, and in fact is already underway. The House Ways and Means Committee recently issued a subpoena directing that the U.S.

— Bill Williams Secretary, FOE Aerie No. 971

Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) turn over any and all information regarding how taxpayer dollars have been used to promote ObamaCare.

It’s the second subpoena [HHS Secretary Kathleen] Sebelius has faced from congressional Republicans in as many months,’ according to POLITICO, which notes that ‘the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee subpoenaed the agency to turn over documents to determine if funds from a Medicare Advantage demonstration program are being used improperly.’

One state that has acted clearly and decisively with respect to ObamaCare is our own state of Ohio. Governow John Kasich announced Nov. 16 that Ohio will not implement one of the government-run ‘exchanges’ mandated under the president’s health care law, and will preserve our state’s ability to regulate health insurance on its own.

“Governor John Kasich and Lt. Governor Mary Taylor want every Ohioan to have health care coverage and believe the route to achieving that is a market-based

system that encourages both high quality and low costs,” noted the announcement from the Office of the Governor. “A rigid, prescriptive health insurance exchange that reduces choices and drives up costs does not align with the Kasich Administration’s health policy goals.”

I’m proud of our governor and lieutenant governor for taking this stand and resisting the federal takeover of health care in Ohio. Repeal of the president’s health care law is critically important to the economic future of our country.

With President Obama and his party still in control of most of Washington, stopping ObamaCare will require both bold state leadership and vigorous oversight by Members of the House of Representatives. Such action will be critical in protecting the American people and our economy from the impact of this disastrous federal law.”

Boehner represents Ohio’s 8th District, which includes all of Darke, Miami, and Preble counties, most of Butler and Mercer counties, and the northeastern corner of Montgomery County.

He was a past member at Bradford First Baptist Church; enjoyed fishing, 2343490

Information provided by the Miami County Sheriff’s Office • Nov. 17 Warrant served: Officials were dispatched to 10900 Covington-Bradford Road, in Newberry Twp., to locate Jacob Lee on a felony warrant for burglary in Darke County. Officials arrived and made contact with Jacob Lee at the residence. Jacob’s warrant was confirmed by Darke County dispatch and he was taken into custody. Lee was transported to the Miami and Darke County line, where he was taken into custody by the Darke County Sheriff’s Office.

Warrant served: Officials responded to 10365 Bradford-Bloomer Road, Covington, to serve a felony warrant on a Donald Wood Jr. Officials made contact with Donald Wood Jr. in his bedroom.

Dispatch advised that Darke County was not going to be able to house Donald and requested that he be transported to the Miami County Jail. Donald was transported to the Miami County Jail where he was incarcerated until Darke County was able to pick him up.

OVI on Sunset Drive: At 2:50 a.m., officials in the area of South St. and Sunset Dr., observed a vehicle fail to stop for the red light at the intersection.

Officials initiated a traffic stop for this violation and made contact with the driver and his passenger. While speaking with the driver, Thomas E. Siler, I noticed a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from the vehicle. When asked, Mr. Siler advised the officer he did not have anything to drink that night, nor did he have a valid driver license.

Due to the fact that officials made a passenger side approach, the officer walked around to the driver side to have direct contact with Mr. Siler. While at the driver side speaking with Mr. Siler, officials noticed the odor of alcohol coming from his breath. Mr. Siler also displayed glassy and bloodshot eyes.

Officials had Mr. Siler exit his vehicle and asked if he would be willing to submit to a list of field sobriety tests, which he agreed. The first test explained was the horizontal gaze nystagmus. All three clues were noticed in each of Mr. Siler’s eyes. The second test was the one leg stand. While explaining this test, Mr. Siler stopped the officer, stating he did not wish to continue any further tests. At this time Mr. Siler was taken in to custody for OVI. He was transported to the Miami County Sheriff’s office, where he was read and followed along with the BMV-2255. Once finished reading this form and Mr. Siler informed the officer he understood the consequences for a positive and for a refusal, he refused to submit to a breath sample.

Mr. Siler was charged with red light, OVI, and driving under an OVI suspension. He was given a copy of all his paperwork and given a court date of Nov. 20.

OVI on State Route 718 and Washington Road: Approaching the intersection, officials observed a vehicle that had failed to stop at the stop sign on Washington Road and crossed State Route 718 and went into a field. Upon approaching the area, officers observed a white male wearing a gray sweatshirt and brown pants with black shoes and he had mud all over his shoes. Officers made contact with the male and he advised officials that he was the driver of the vehicle. Officers asked the male what had happened and he stated that he did not know.

Officers asked the male for his identification and identified the driver as Tyler Jones. Mr. Jones had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his breath. Mr. Jones stated that he had only had four beers. Mr. Jones was very unsteady on his feet and went to the curb to sit down. Officials asked Mr. Jones if he was in any need of emergency medical attention and he denied that he needed any. Officials asked Mr. Jones if he would be willing to submit to a series of field sobriety tests and he stated that he would.

The first test conducted was the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus. Officials conducted HGN and observed all six clues. Officials explained to Mr. Jones the one leg stand and Mr. Jones told officers that he was not going to do the test.

Officials asked Mr. Jones if he was refusing to do the rest of the field sobriety test and he stood there, being quiet. Mr. Jones tried to lift his foot off the ground and fell to his left, almost falling to the ground. Mr. Jones then stood back up and stood there for a few seconds and said that he was done doing the tests.

Mr. Jones became verbal with the officer at this point, telling them that the officer messed up. Officers asked him how they had messed up and he told them that it was because the official had stopped.

Mr. Jones was asked if he wished to continue with the tests and he stated no.

Mr. Jones was advised that he was under arrest for OVI and placed him into cus-

AP MOVIE REVIEWS • “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” — Stuffed with Hollywood’s latest technology, Peter Jackson’s “The Lord of the Rings” prelude is some eye candy that truly dazzles and some that utterly distracts, at least in its test-run of 48 frames a second, double the projection rate that has been standard since silent-film days. It’s also overstuffed with prologues, flashbacks and long, boring councils among dwarves, wizards and elves as Jackson tries to mine enough story out of J.R.R. Tolkien’s mythology to build another trilogy. Remember the interminable false endings of “The Return of the King,” the Academy Awardwinning finale of Jackson’s “Lord of the Rings”? “An Unexpected Journey” has a similar bloat throughout its nearly three hours, in which Tolkien’s brisk story of intrepid little hobbit Bilbo Baggins is drawn out and diluted by dispensable trimmings better left for DVD extras. Two more parts are coming, so we won’t know how the whole story comes together until the finale arrives in summer 2014. Part one’s embellishments may pay off nicely, but right now, “An Unexpected Journey” looks like the start of an unnecessary trilogy better told in one film. Martin Freeman stars as homebody Bilbo, the reluctant recruit of wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen) on a quest to retake a dwarf kingdom from a dragon. The 48-frame version offers remarkably lifelike images, but the view is almost too real at times, the crystal pictures bleaching away the painterly quality of traditional film and exposing sets and props as movie fakery. PG-13 for extended sequences of intense fantasy action violence, and frightening images. 169 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.

• “Hyde Park on Hudson” — Bill Murray as FDR? The casting might sound weird at first. But Murray’s subtly charming presence ends up being one of the stronger elements of this otherwise lightweight romance, which depicts one of the most revered United States presidents with all the substance and insight of a lukewarm cup of tea. “Notting Hill” director Roger Michell, working from a script by Richard Nelson, depicts a brief period in the secret affair between President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and his fifth cousin, Margaret Suckley or “Daisy” as she was known. Unflaggingly loyal, earnest and supportive, she’s also mousy, quiet and a total bore a huge waste of the versatile and vibrant talents of Laura Linney. The fact that Linney provides wall-to-wall voiceover doesn’t add much, as she’s stuck spelling out what should be pretty obvious on screen (“He said I helped him forget the weight of the world,” for example.) “Hyde Park on Hudson” focuses specifically on the June 1939 weekend when FDR hosted the King and Queen of England (Samuel West and Olivia Colman) at his family’s home in upstate New York, hence the title, just as World War II was about to erupt. Michell awkwardly tries to balance both the farce of cultural clashes and the jealous tension that arises as Daisy begins to understand that she’s not the president’s only paramour. Olivia Williams brings a no-nonsense presence to her portrayal of Eleanor Roosevelt in a “Rushmore” reunion with Murray that’s a total letdown. R for brief sexuality. 95 minutes. One and a half stars out of four.

• “Playing for Keeps” — This is supposed to be the time of year when high-quality movies come out, whether they’re potential Oscar contenders or crowdpleasing family fare. So the presence of this flat, hacky, unfunny dreck the kind of film that ordinarily tries to fly under the radar in January or February but would be torture to sit through in any month is a total mystery. It is truly baffling that all these talented, acclaimed people actually read this script and then agreed to devote their time to this movie, especially given its uncomfortably flagrant misogynistic streak. Judy Greer, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Uma Thurman couldn’t possibly need work this badly. And yet, here they are as soccer moms shamelessly throwing themselves at Gerard Butler and his tousled, manly mane. Butler, still struggling with comedy, stars as George Dryer, a once-great Scottish soccer star who’s now divorced and in financial straits. He moves to suburban Virginia to reconnect with his ex-wife (Jessica Biel) and their young son (Noah Lomax). Naturally, a couple of things happen pretty quickly, accompanied by an intrusively jaunty score. First, George gets suckered into coaching his kid’s soccer team. Then, the mothers of all the other 9-year-olds start brazenly hitting on him. Director Gabriele Muccino veers wildly between wacky hijinks and facile sentimentality, and Robbie Fox’s script doesn’t feature a single character who resembles an actual human being. PG-13 for some sexual situations, language and a brief intense image. 105 minutes. Zero stars out of four.

So the presence of flat, hacky, unfunny dreck like “Playing for Keeps” the kind of film that ordinarily tries to fly under the radar in January or February but would be torture to sit through in any month is a total mystery.

It is truly baffling that all the talented, acclaimed actors involved actually read this script and then agreed to devote their time to this movie, especially given its uncomfortably flagrant misogynistic streak.

Judy Greer, Catherine ZetaJones and Uma Thurman couldn’t possibly need work this badly. And yet, here they are as soccer moms shamelessly throwing themselves at Gerard Butler and his tousled, manly mane.

The Scottish hunk, still struggling with comedy following “The Ugly Truth” and “The Bounty Hunter,” stars as George Dryer, a once-great soccer star who’s now divorced and in financial straits. At the film’s start, he has moved to suburban Virginia to reconnect with his ex-wife, Stacie (Jessica Biel), and their young son, Lewis (Noah Lomax). Naturally, a couple of things happen pretty quickly, accompanied by an intrusively jaunty score.

First, George gets suckered into coaching his kid’s soccer team. Then, the mothers of all the other 9-year-olds start brazenly hitting on him, regardless of whether they’re married or single.

They’re just so wildly hormonal, they can’t control themselves.

But George doesn’t seem interested in any of these people, so why should we be?

(Ah yes, there’s a whole subplot in which George aspires to be a sports anchor and magically gets a job offer as a soccer analyst on ESPN, despite having zero on-air experience, after just one audition. Because there’s a bounty of TV gigs out there just ripe for the picking. Do you think he’ll leave this family, just as he’s started to bond with them again, and move to Bristol, Conn., to take it???)

The men don’t fare much better. Dennis Quaid is singularly manic and skeevy as Thurman’s husband, a flashy high roller with a wicked

jealous streak. And Stacie’s personality-free fiance (James Tupper) apparently has no job, friends or interests, but rather hangs around the house all day waiting to answer the front door disapprovingly when George arrives to pick up his son.

The one woman with an actual backbone and sense of values in this movie is Biel’s character. Unfortunately, she’s also rendered as bland, conservative and, oddly, a little frumpy. It’s difficult to tell what sort of magic these two forged together years ago and flat-out impossible to care whether they’ll reconcile, although spoiler! that’s just one of the many elements of the lazy, formulaic game plan in play here.

NEW YORK (AP) — Kathryn Bigelow’s “Zero Dark Thirty” continued to gather awards momentum as the National Board of Review named the Osama bin Laden hunt docudrama the best film of the year.

The board is the second notable group to name “Zero Dark Thirty” best film, following the New York Film Critics Circle.

The two early awards suggest the film may be the Academy Awards frontrunner, four years after Bigelow’s “The Hurt Locker” triumphed at the Oscars.

The film took three awards Wednesday from the National Board of Review, which also named Bigelow best director and Jessica Chastain, who stars as a CIA agent, best actress.

The group also gave a boost to the “Silver Linings Playbook,” David O. Russell’s comedic drama

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Both of you have a lot of work to do; start with trust issues Dear Annie: Three months ago, my husband and I were introduced to a couple through mutual friends. My husband could not take his eyes off the woman all evening. They arranged to go on an all-day seminar course together. The course leader took a suggestive photo of them that he circulated to all his male friends.

Shortly after, he asked for a divorce out of the blue, saying I criticized him too much.

I snooped on his computer and found the photo along with other highly flirtatious emails, one of them arranging to meet this woman during the day. Both of them made excuses, telling her boyfriend and our mutual friends that they had accidentally bumped into each other. Shortly after that, she broke up with her boyfriend while he was undergoing chemotherapy.

I never told my husband that I knew about their flirtation, as I wanted to see where it was headed. When my husband said maybe we should work on our marriage, we went for couples counseling.

That's when I brought it up, showing the counselor all of the photographs and emails I found.

My husband says he did nothing wrong, that I ruined a good friendship, and that he feels "violated" because I snooped on his computer. He has since changed all of his passwords. But he still wants to work on our marriage.

If he thinks he did nothing wrong, it makes me believe he will do it again, and who knows where it will lead? How can I work on our marriage if he won't acknowledge that his actions were more than "friendly"? — In Limbo Dear Limbo: Your counselor should be addressing these issues during your sessions. If that hasn't happened, please go back and try again. Your husband needs to admit that his interest in this woman was inappropriate and put your marriage at risk. There are also trust and communication issues. This is what counseling is for. The two of you have a lot of work to do, but it requires honesty all around.

Dear Annie: My aunt's son is a drug addict. He has been in and out of jail and treatment centers, and she has not spoken to many of us over the years.

My aunt is planning on coming to my grandmother's home for Christmas dinner and bringing her son. I do not feel comfortable around my cousin. I think he is dangerous. My relatives say it's time for the family to heal, and I should forgive him. They are all willing to sit down with him because they think he is clean and drug-free. I don't trust that he is, and I don't want my children in his presence. What do you think?

— Niece Dear Niece: You should protect your children from anyone who poses a danger. But you aren't giving your cousin a chance to reintegrate himself into the family if he is, in fact, clean. We understand your reluctance to be around him, but addicts who are making a sincere effort need the emotional support of their families.

How long has he claimed to be drug-free? Is there any evidence that he has relapsed? You might consider stopping by Grandma's house without your children to check on the situation and say hello, and then have your Christmas dinner elsewhere.

Dear Annie: This is for "North Carolina," who does not appreciate his boss's language. Since the boss is willing to work on it, I suggest he place a "Fine Jar" on the table with a list of words and their corresponding fines. Every time anyone says one of the words, he has to pay the fine. The money can go toward refreshments at the next meeting or to charity.

This game makes light of the problem while reinforcing better behavior. It worked for me in a highly sensitive job where the boss had an enormous ego. — Neighbor in Kentucky Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Here’s a few reminders for flying with food Dear Readers: A lot of people travel for the holidays and bring gifts and food with them. Here are just a couple of friendly reminders about flying with wrapped packages, from the Transportation Security Administration: When it comes to food, the same rules apply as the rules for liquids. If it’s more than 3.4 ounces, it needs to be put in checked baggage or shipped ahead of time. This includes jams, creamy dips, sauces, etc.

Wrapped gifts are allowed in your checked baggage, but realize that if your bag is searched, TSA officers may and are allowed to unwrap the package. Plan to

Hints from Heloise Columnist wrap gifts upon arrival, or ship them ahead of time.

I hope these hints come in handy, and I wish everyone safe travel this holiday season! — Heloise P.S.: Please don’t fuss at TSA officers if your family’s favorite homemade salad dressing must be confiscated from your

carry-on bag.

COMPUTER RECYCLE BIN Dear Readers: Did you know that when you delete a file on the computer, it may not automatically delete? It is temporarily moved to the computer’s recycle or trash bin. This is so you can recover a file that might have been accidently deleted. Here are some hints about a computer’s recycle bin: • To recover files from the recycle bin, double-click on the recycle-bin icon. Find the file you are looking for. Right-click on the file and select “Restore.”

• To permanently delete files from the recycle bin, first open it.

There will be an option on the

toolbar to “Empty the Recycle Bin.” Select this option, and all files will be permanently deleted.

(Be sure to look over the files first and make sure there is nothing worth saving.)

— Heloise SPONGE SUPPORT Dear Heloise: I purchased a wrist support to help when using my computer mouse. It wasn’t much good for its intended use — my wrist kept slipping off. I returned it and noticed a carwash sponge at the same store for $1.

The sponge is about 6 inches by 9 inches and is covered with a very soft and fluffy woollike fabric. It works great! — Doug in Louisiana

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Saturday, Dec. 8, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Make every effort to travel or do something to expand your horizons. You’re eager to learn something new. Remember: You are the pioneer of the zodiac.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) It’s appropriate to feel passionate about shared property and anything you own jointly with others. In fact, you feel passionate about every aspect of your life these days!

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Remember to get more sleep because the Sun is now opposite your sign, which is as far away as it gets all year.

After all, the Sun is your source of energy.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Because you want to get better organized, give yourself the right tools to do a bang-up job. Buy paint, cleaning equipment, file folders, shelving or whatever it takes.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Because this is a playful time for you, grab every opportunity to enjoy sports events, see movies and socialize with others. In particular, you’ll enjoy fun activities with children.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) This continues to be a time when home, family and real-estate matters are of primary focus for you. Discussions with parents can be significant.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You’re eager to share news or enlighten others. That’s why it’s a good time to study, write and communicate.

It’s also strong time for those of you in sales and marketing.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is one of the best times all year to think about your value system. What really matters in life? For that matter, how much do you value yourself?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) With the Sun in your sign now, you easily attract important people to you and favorable circumstances. Don’t take this for granted. Milk this for all it’s worth.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Research or work behind the scenes will benefit you now. In part, this is because you are comfortable working alone and you enjoy your privacy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) It’s a popular time for you, because everyone wants to see your face! Join classes, clubs and organizations. Get out and schmooze!

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Quite likely, others will ask you to accept increased responsibilities at this time. (That’s because you look so good to them.) Fear not; you can do the job.

Don’t be afraid to accept.

YOU BORN TODAY You are talented and imaginative. You throw yourself into whatever you create or do (no halfway measures for you). You have wild energy and enthusiasm. Because of your passion and devotion, you mesmerize friends and lovers. In turn, you are loyal to them. Good news! Your year ahead might be one of the most powerful years of your life. Dream big!

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Friday, Dec. 7, the 342nd day of 2012. There are 24 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Dec. 7, 1941, Japan launched a surprise attack on the U.S. Navy base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii as part of its plan to conquer Southeast Asian territories; the raid, which claimed some 2,400 American lives, prompted the United States to declare war against Japan the next day.

On this date: • In 1787, Delaware became the first state to ratify the U.S. Constitution.

• In 1796, electors chose John Adams to be the second president of the United States.

• In 1842, the New York Philharmonic performed its first concert.

• In 1911, China abolished the requirement that men wear their hair in a queue, or ponytail.

• In 1982, convicted murderer Charlie Brooks Jr. became the first U.S. prisoner to be executed by injection, at a prison in Huntsville, Texas.

• Ten years ago: Iraq handed over its long-awaited arms declaration to the United Nations, denying it had doomsday weapons. President

Saddam Hussein grudgingly apologized to Kuwait for his 1990 invasion.

• One year ago: Veterans from Pearl Harbor observed the 70th anniversary of Japan’s attack with a solemn ceremony at the site of the bombing. Veteran character actor Harry Morgan, 96, died in Brentwood, Calif.

• Today’s Birthdays: Actor Eli Wallach is 97. Actress Ellen Burstyn is 80. Baseball Hall of Famer Johnny Bench is 65. Basketball Hall of Famer Larry Bird is 56. Pop-rock singer/celebrity judge Sara Bareilles is 33. Singer Aaron Carter is 25.

Safety, need compete in typhoon-hit Philippines NEW BATAAN, Philippines (AP) — The government’s geological hazard maps show why this farming community was largely washed away by a powerful typhoon: “highly susceptible to flooding and landslides.”

That didn’t stop some villagers from rebuilding Thursday, even with bodies still lying under the mud.

Most of the more than 370 people confirmed dead from Typhoon Bopha were killed in the steep mountain valley that includes New Bataan, a town crisscrossed by rivers and cleared from lush hillsides by banana, coconut, cocoa and mango farmers in 1968. Flooding was so widespread here that places people thought were safe, including two emergency shelters, became among the deadliest.

In the impoverished Philippines, where the jobless risk life and limb to feed their families, there is little the government can do once such danger zones spring up.

“It’s not only an environmental issue, it’s also a poverty issue,” said Environment Secretary Ramon Paje. “The people would say, ‘We are better off here. At least we have food to eat or money to buy food, even if it is risky.’

“But somehow we would like to protect their lives and if possible give them other sources of livelihood so that we can take them out of these permanent danger zones,” Paje said.

More than 400 people remained missing Thursday after the typhoon struck the southern Philippines this week.

After a night of pounding rain, floodwaters started rising around 4 a.m. Tuesday, trapping farmer Joseph Requinto, his wife and two young children in their house near a creek.

“After that I saw some people being swept away,” he told The Associated Press. He climbed up a hill, carrying

his children, and the family found shelter behind boulders that shielded them from coconut trees rolling down the hill.

“The water was as high as a coconut tree,” he said. “All the bamboo trees, even the big ones, were all mowed down.”

Interior Secretary Mar Roxas, who visited New Bataan on Wednesday, saw the town covered in 15 centimeters (6 inches) of mud.

He was told by townspeople that a pond or a small lake atop the mountain collapsed, causing torrents of water to rampage like a waterfall.

“There is hardly any structure that is undamaged in New Bataan town,” he said. “Entire families may have been washed away.”

New Bataan residents led reporters from Manila’s GMA Television to a mound of felled trees that were swept down from the hills. At least five bodies were jammed beneath the rubble,

with no sign that anyone had attempted to retrieve them.

It was uncertain if there were more bodies at the site.

Dozens of people stared blankly at their devastated town as they waited at a government information center, hoping for word of missing relatives. Authorities planned to display about 80 newly washed bodies in coffins at a Roman Catholic church Friday, hoping relatives will identify them.

The military said Thursday that 214 people died in Compostela Valley and 151 in nearby Davao Oriental province, with 31 others killed in other central and southern provinces. The typhoon, which hit the region with winds of 175 kph (109 mph), was over the South China Sea on Thursday and was expected to dissipate by the weekend.

Deadly floods are common on resource-rich Mindanao Island. Last December at the island’s opposite end, 1,200

Relatives cross a river to bury their loved one, who died in a flash flood caused by Typhoon Bopha, Thursday in New Bataan township, Compostela Valley in southern Philippines. people died as a powerful storm overflowed rivers.

Then and now, raging flash floods, logs and large rocks carried people to their deaths.

The Bureau of Mines and Geosciences had issued warnings before the typhoon to people living in floodprone areas, but in the Compostela Valley, nearly every area is flood-prone.

Bureau Director Leo Jasareno said about 80 percent of the valley is a danger zone due to a combination of factors, including the mountains and rivers, as well as logging that has stripped hills of trees that minimize landslides and absorb rainwater. Logging has been banned since last year’s fatal flooding, but it continues illegally.

Nearly 80 villages and soldiers died in the New Bataan village of Andap when a flash flood swamped the two emergency shelters and a military camp.

Jasareno said Andap had been an especially dangerous place to be.

“There is the Mayo River there. It’s a natural channel way of the water from the upstream,” he said. “The water has no other path but Andap village.”

People stay because the land is rich in natural resources, including timber

and gold, which is dug by small-scale miners.

Compostela Valley Gov. Arturo Uy rejected criticism by scientists and central government officials that his flood-ravaged communities should relocate.

“It’s not possible to have no houses there because even the town center was hit. You mean to say the whole town will be abandoned?” Uy told the AP. He doubted the basis for classifying the area as dangerous and said he had urged the central government to review the hazard maps.

Uy said previous floods had been far less damaging, and had never threatened the places where the doomed emergency centers had been set up: the village hall, a health center, a covered court.

“We thought they would be safe there, but the volume of water was so huge,” he said.

The deaths came despite efforts by President Benigno Aquino III’s government to force residents out of highrisk communities as the typhoon approached. Vice President Jejomar Binay on Thursday directed local executives, police and military officials not to allow those displaced to return to their homes in areas classified as danger zones.

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.

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

MIAMI COUNTY And in our last three, we’ve given up 29, 27 and 25. It was a real nice team effort tonight.”

Madison Tebics led the Indians (4-2, 1-1 Cross County Conference) offensively with 14 points, Trista Lavy added nine and Megan Rutledge scored six. “(Tebics) was our leading scorer during our scrimmages. She does a lot of things right,” Hans said. “She’s very quick, she plays excellent defense and she always ends up in the right place. And she shot very well tonight.”

Miami East’s Madison Linn scores on a fast break over Bradford’s Brooke Dunlevy Thursday night.

Vikings too much Miami East manhandles Bradford, 81-13

BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.com Miami East’s aim was off in the first half.

Working in the Vikings’ favor, though? The fact that size and defense don’t take a night off.

And after shutting the Bradford Railroaders out in the second quarter to break the game open, Miami East knocked down five straight shots — and

Vikings split at super-tri Staff Reports Miami East tacked a super-tri to its schedule late.

It also got something of a late start on the mat.

But after falling to Northwestern 54-23 to open Thursday’s action, the Vikings rebounded against Wilmington, picking up a 51-35 victory to earn a split on the night heading into Saturday’s Greenville Duals.

“This was a late addition to the schedule, and we didn’t come out of the gate hot,” Miami East coach Jason Sroufe said. “We’ve got to be more aggressive on our feet and come after people.”

CASSTOWN eight of its first 10 — to start the second half to put away an 81-13 victory Thursday night at home in one final tune-up before Saturday’s grudge match against Fort Loramie.

Even though the Vikings (30, 2-0 Cross County Conference) got off to a rough start shooting the basketball — especially from the outside — their defense and complete domination of the offensive glass keyed a 24-point run that spanned from 14-7 late in the first quarter to 38-7 one minute into the third quarter.

Ben Morrow (106), Allen Seagraves (126) and Austin McCuistion (145) all picked up pins against Northwestern, while Danny O’Malley (160) scored a 160 tech. fall.

Against Wilmington, Seagraves, Stephen Morrow (132), Austin Rush (138) and Dalton Loughman (220) had pins, Ben Morrow had a 14-0 major decision, Aaron Hubbard (182) had a 15-5 major decision and O’Malley won a 12-11 decision.

“We’ve got a lot of guys not wrestling down at their weights yet,” Sroufe said. “They’re taking some lumps now, but they’re getting experience for the rest of the season. And at this point in the season, that’s the most important thing until they get down to weight.”

Larkin against letting cheaters into Hall NEW YORK (AP) — Barry Larkin wants to keep baseball’s most exclusive club clean.

Inducted into the Hall of Fame last summer after a 19year career with the Cincinnati Reds, Larkin told The Associated Press in a phone interview Wednesday that players who cheat shouldn’t receive baseball’s highest individual honor.

“I think if you cheated, no, you don’t deserve it because I know how difficult it was for me

to get there and how difficult it was for me just to compete on an everyday basis,” Larkin said. “I think if you cheated I think you made a deci- LARKIN sion and I don’t think you belong.”

Larkin was in New York to

sign items that will be auctioned off as part of Steiner Sports’ 25th anniversary. All the proceeds of the online auction will go to charities that are supporting families affected by Superstorm Sandy.

The 1995 NL MVP was speaking about a month ahead of the voting results for next year’s Hall class. Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Sammy Sosa are all up for selection for the first time.

Ultimately, Larkin thinks the players who used performance enhancers will be kept out of Cooperstown just as Pete Rose has been denied admission because he is banned for life for gambling on the sport.

“I look at what has happened with Pete Rose. Pete Rose is not a Hall of Fame player, banned from baseball. But if you go up to the Hall of Fame all of his

UC coach Jones not leaving for Colorado BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — The losses keep piling up for the University of Colorado football program.

A person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press on Thursday that Butch Jones has rejected an offer to become the Buffaloes’ next coach. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because Jones hadn’t publicly revealed his decision to stay at the University of Cincinnati.

Cincinnati The Enquirer first reported Jones had withdrawn his name from consideration for the Buffaloes job, just as he had the Purdue opening earlier in the week that subsequently went to Darrell Hazell.

Colorado athletic director Mike Bohn didn’t return phone messages seeking comment on Jones’ decision.

Jones met with Bohn and others in Boulder for nine hours on Monday, when he was offered a five-year deal worth at least $13.5 million. He then spent two days avoiding questions about his coaching future while promoting the Bearcats’ appearance against Duke in the Belk Bowl in Charlotte, N.C., on Dec. 27.

On Wednesday night, Jones sent a text message to the AP calling a report that he had accepted the Colorado job “absolutely false,” and Bohn responded in a text to AP that “our process is not complete.”

NHL rejects offer NEW YORK (AP) — The NHL and the players’ association are further apart than ever before.

Union executive director Donald Fehr began the first of his two news conferences Thursday night by proclaiming he believed the sides had agreements on such issues as actual dollars, and then returned moments later to reveal the NHL rejected everything his side offered.

Hot-button topics such as the “make-whole” provision on existing contracts not only weren’t settled, but are no longer being offered by the league. Forget that owners were willing to pay up to $300 million to cover the costs, and Commissioner Gary Bettman countered by saying the entire concept is off the table along with everything else the league offered during the previous two days of talks.

“They knew there was a major gulf between us and yet they came down here and told you we were close,” deputy commissioner Bill Daly said about Fehr’s remarks.

When the NHL agreed to increase its make-whole offer of deferred payments from $211 million to $300 million it was part of a proposed package that required the union to agree on three nonnegotiable points. Instead, the players’ association accepted the raise in funds, but then made counterproposals on the issues the league stated had no wiggle room.

Roundup

■ CONTINUED FROM B1 “We had a little hangover from the Troy game on Saturday, where we did not shoot particularly well, either,” Miami East coach Preston Elifritz said. “But we had 15 offensive rebounds in the first half, so we were still getting something out of each possession.”

Bradford (0-3, 0-3 CCC), while improving under first-year coach Patrick McKee, simply couldn’t find room to operate inside against the Vikings’ bigs Leah Dunivan and Ashley and Trina Current — who blocked 10 shots.

“When you go against a team where all five starters are six-foot plus … our biggest girl is 5-10,” McKee said. “Our option was to spread out the court, keep them off the offensive end and see if we could hit the gaps.

Obviously, we didn’t do that as much as we wanted to.”

And when the Vikings blocked shots, they turned them into fast breaks.

“We’re big, and we move decently well for our size,” Elifritz said. “We’re always looking for an aggressive outlet pass to get an easy bucket.”

The Vikings weren’t in the locker room long at halftime.

They stopped in long enough to find their range before hitting the floor again.

Abby Cash hit a pair of 3s and then set up Angie Mack for one as Miami East hit its first five shots of the third. Trina Current converted a putback, Cash found Madison Linn open on an in-bounds play for a jumper and then Cash dished to Ashley Current inside, and the Vikings held a 52-9 lead.

“We talked about shooting with confidence,” Elifritz said. “We have total confidence in the girls shooting the ball, and some of them just needed to hear that. And we had 20-plus assists as a team, so we were sharing the basketball. The girls took it possession by possession and let the scoreboard take care of itself.”

Larkin ■ CONTINUED FROM B1 records, his bats, everything in is represented in the Hall of Fame 4,256 (hits),” Larkin said. “I see a very similar thing happening with guys that are associated with or been accused of using steroids. I think they will recognize their accomplishments but I don’t think those players will be admitted to the Hall of Fame.”

Larkin spent nearly his entire career playing in the Steroids Era. And he doesn’t want to jump to

conclusions about the stars he played against.

The three-time Gold Glove shortstop would like to see baseball offer definitive guidance on who has done performance enhancers and who has not before admonishing them.

“There can’t be this hearsay. If you can prove it, then that’s what it is,” said Larkin, who will manage Brazil in March’s World Baseball Classic. “If you can’t prove it you’re innocent until proven guilty.”

Te’o wins Maxwell, aims for Heisman

Picking pockets

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — From Notre Dame’s unbeaten regular season to college football’s biggest awards, Manti Te’o just keeps winning.

Now the linebacker needs two more victories to cap an unforgettable senior season.

Te’o was honored three times at the 22nd Home Depot College Football Awards show Thursday night at Disney World, including the Maxwell Award for the nation’s most outstanding player.

Te’o has now won six major awards since the end of Notre Dame’s regular season, also taking home the Bednarik Award for top defensive player and Walter Camp Foundation player of the year award on Thursday.

He became the first defensive player to win the Maxwell Award since 1980, ending a string of nine straight quarterbacks.

Next up is the Heisman Trophy ceremony on Saturday night, with Te’o and Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel considered the favorites. Then Te’o will try to help the Fighting Irish dethrone defending champion Alabama in the BCS national championship game.

“I’m at a loss for words,” he said of winning the Maxwell. “The last time I ever dreamt of winning that award was on a video game. So to win it is a mind-blowing experience.”

Wearing a black bead-

ed lei representing his native Hawaii, Te’o said coming back to play football following the deaths of his grandmother and girlfriend just four days apart this season makes everything he’s achieved since then more worthwhile.

“I never thought that me coming back for my senior year would be the best situation for me with the tragedy,” Te’o said.

“It’s a testament that the Lord answered my prayers and that I had 80-plus brothers there with me, sacrificing for me.”

Te’o finished the regular season with 103 tackles and seven interceptions.

Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly, who was presented with the Coach of the Year award after leading the Irish to their first 12-0 regular season since 1988, said Te’o is an example of the family culture he’s tried to build in his three seasons in South Bend.

“Everybody knows you don’t do it with one guy,” Kelly said. “Collectively, everybody just bought in. … We still got one (game) left. We want to finish it off the right way.”

While Te’o and Notre Dame certainly had a big night, so too did Texas A&M. Manziel won the Davey O’Brien National Quarterback Award and junior offensive lineman Luke Joeckel took home the Outland Trophy for the nation’s best interior lineman.

UC sets school record for steals in win CINCINNATI (AP) — Midway through the first half, No. 11 Cincinnati knew it could be a record-setting night.

So many passes were going right into the Bearcats’ arms that it was only a question of how many steals they would get. They set a school record with 23 in an 87-53 victory over Arkansas-Little Rock on Thursday night.

Sean Kilpatrick scored 10 of his 18 points in the second half, and the unbeaten Bearcats ran away with it by stealing the ball and heading for a layup or dunk.

“We’re proud, but that’s expected,” Kilpatrick said.

“That’s something we have to keep doing every game and continue to get better at. I’m not sitting here saying I’m satisfied with it. I appreciate it, but we’ve got to keep doing it every night.”

The Bearcats (8-0) have become one of the nation’s top defensive teams while starting with eight straight wins for the 15th time in school history. It’s the second time in three seasons that they’re 8-0.

Playing with their highest ranking since they were No. 11 at end of 2003-04, the Bearcats threw the ball away early, prompting coach Mick Cronin to substitute for all five starters.

Cincinnati Bearcat Sean Kilpatrick tries to shoot past Arkansas Little Rock’s Taggart Lockhart in the first half in Cincinnati Thursday.

Iowa State and Oregon followed by a 58-56 victory over Alabama on Cashmere Wright’s fadeaway at the buzzer on Saturday.

“We’ve still got to get better with our offensive execution at times,” Cronin said.

“We’re careless with the ball, taking ill-advised shots at times.”

Despite their early sloppiness, the Bearcats quickly wore down the Trojans (7-4),

who had a season-high 32 turnovers, 18 in the opening half. Cincinnati’s steals topped the previous school record by three.

Trojans coach Steve Shields repeatedly called timeouts to try to settle his team, without success. The Trojans fell to 0-8 against Top 25 teams during his 10 seasons at Arkansas-Little Rock.

“I knew coming in we

had to have poise and toughness with the ball,” Shields said. “I thought Cincinnati did a good job of taking us out of what we wanted to do offensively and forced us to play at a pace we didn’t want to play at.”

Vanderbilt 66, Xavier 64 CINCINNATI — Kyle Fuller scored a career-high 25 points, including all 12 of Vanderbilt’s overtime points, as the Commodores outlasted Xavier for a 66-64 win on Thursday night.

Kedren Johnson scored 19 points and Kevin Bright added 11 with 10 rebounds for Vanderbilt, which had lost four of its last five games and all six of its previous games against Xavier.

No. 4 Syracuse 84, Long Beach St. 53 SYRACUSE, N.Y. — C.J. Fair had 16 points and a career-high 13 rebounds, Michael Carter-Williams added 15 points and 10 assists, and No. 4 Syracuse beat Long Beach State 8453 on Thursday night.

Syracuse (7-0) upped its home winning streak to 27 games, tops in the nation, and has won 49 consecutive regular-season nonconference games. Long Beach State (3-5) had a two-game winning streak snapped.

No. 16 Creighton 64, Nebraska 42 LINCOLN, Neb. — Doug McDermott scored 27 points and Gregory Echenique had 12 points and 12 rebounds, for Creighton.

The Bluejays (8-1) won in Lincoln for the first time since 2004.
