Santorum questions ‘world view’ Said he was not criticizing Obama’s faith WASHINGTON (AP) — Rick Santorum on Sunday condemned what he called President Barack Obama’s world view that “elevates the Earth above man” and requires insurers to pay for prenatal tests that will encourage more abortions.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A resurgent Rick Santorum hopes to spring his next big surprise in Michigan. Newt Gingrich looks for a campaign revival in the Bible Belt.

Mitt Romney has his home state of Massachusetts, and the luxury of picking his spots elsewhere, if not everywhere, as the race for the Republican presidential nomination roars back to life.

JERUSALEM (AP) — The U.S. and Britain on Sunday urged Israel not to attack Iran’s nuclear program as the White House’s national security adviser arrived in the region, reflecting growing international jitters that the Israelis are poised to strike.

In their warnings, both the chairman of the U.S. joint chiefs of staff, Gen. Martin Dempsey, and British Foreign Secretary William Hague said an Israeli attack on Iran would have grave consequences for the entire

region and urged Israel to give international sanctions against Tehran more time to work. Dempsey said an Israeli attack is “not prudent,” and Hague said it would not be “a wise thing.” It was not known whether their messages were coordinated.

Both Israel and the West believe Iran is trying to develop a nuclear bomb — a charge Tehran denies.

But differences have emerged in how to respond to the perceived threat.

The Troy Police Department reported a roof collapse on a building being remodeled at 515 N. Michigan St. in Troy around 3 p.m. Sunday afternoon. The Troy Fire Department was called to bring a ladder to look into the building to see if anyone was trapped inside, however, no one was found and no injuries were reported. Officials said they believe wind was involved in the collapse of the trusses on the incomplete roof.

A fight among inmates led to a prison riot in northern Mexico that killed 44 people Sunday, a security official said.

Nuevo Leon state public security spokesman Jorge Domene Zambrano said the riot broke out at about 2 a.m. in a high-security section of a prison in the city of Apodaca outside the northern industrial city of Monterrey.

Several inmates attacked others, and the fighting then spread and blew up into a riot, Domene said. Forty-four people died before authorities regained control of the prison a couple of hours later, he said.

He said that was the reference he was making Saturday in his Ohio campaign appearance when he denounced a “phony theology.”

“I think that is a phony ideal. I don’t believe that is what we’re here to do,” Santorum said. “We’re not here to serve the Earth. The Earth is not the objective. Man is the objective.”

It will take 1,144 delegates to win the GOP presidential nomination at the August convention in Tampa, Fla. According to numerous strategists inside and outside the campaigns, the Michigan primary on Feb. 28 shapes up as particularly important contest as Romney tries to fend off a charging Santorum one week before a 10-state night on Super Tuesday.

Yet of the 13 states, Georgia has the

biggest delegate haul at stake, 76, and Gingrich can ill afford to lose now where his political career was launched in 1978.

Sensing an opportunity, the proRomney group Restore Our Future is targeting Gingrich in television ads in the state, hoping to deny the former House speaker a sweep of the delegates and leave some on the table for Romney to scoop up.

Not such maneuver is possible in Arizona. There, all 29 delegates go to the winner, and Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, is heavily favored.

said the National Iranian Oil Company has sent letters to some European refineries with an ultimatum to either sign long-term contracts of two to five years or be cut off. The 27-nation EU accounts for about 18 percent of Iran’s oil exports.

Israel has welcomed the sanctions. But it has pointedly refused to rule out military action and in recent weeks sent signals that its patience is running thin.

Israel believes a nucleararmed Iran would be a threat to its very existence, citing Iran’s support for Arab militant groups, its sophisticated arsenal of missiles capable of reaching Israel and its leaders’ calls for the destruction of the Jewish state.

Last week, Israel accused Iran of being behind a string of attempted attacks on Israeli diplomats in India, Georgia and Thailand.

There is precedent for Israeli action. In 1981, the Israeli air force destroyed an

unfinished Iraqi nuclear reactor. And in 2007, Israeli warplanes are believed to have destroyed a target that foreign experts think was an unfinished nuclear reactor in Syria.

Experts, however, have questioned how much an Israeli operation would accomplish. With Iran’s nuclear installations scattered and buried deep underground, it is believed that an Iranian strike would set back, but not destroy, Iran’s nuclear program.

There are also concerns Iran could fire missiles at Israel, get its local proxies Hezbollah and Hamas to launch rockets into the Jewish state, and cause global oil prices to spike by striking targets in the Gulf.

In an interview broadcast on CNN Sunday, Dempsey said Israel has the capability to strike Iran and delay the Iranians “probably for a couple of years. But some of the targets are probably beyond their reach.”

Did You Know?

Hey kids, did you know you can send a letter directly to the White House?

Here’s the address: The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Washington, DC 20500 Let us know if you hear from the president!

George Washington President's Day is a celebration of both George Washington's and Abraham Lincoln's birthdays.

The holiday is celebrated on the third Monday of February.

George Washington, known as "The Father of Our Country," was the first president of the United States of America. He played a major role in the drafting of the Declaration of Independence signed on July 4, 1776, declaring the Colonies to be free and independent states. He fought valiantly in the American Revolution and led the colonists to freedom as the commander in chief of the Continental Army.

He was a wise and courageous man admired for his honesty and strength of character.

Two famous tales told about him are from the book, "The Life and Memorable Actions of George Washington" by Parson Mason Locke Weems. Parson Weems speaks of George tossing a stone across the Rappahannock River.

(Later, the stone became a silver dollar in American folk lore.)

He also speaks of his having chopped down a cherry tree and admitting it to his father, as he could not tell a lie. Whether these stories are fact or fiction is uncertain but, both are favorite sto-

ries associated with Washington.

George Washington, a Virginian and plantation owner himself of the estate known as Mount Vernon on the Potomac River, was a methodical man. He gave a great deal of thought to every decision he made. However, once his decision was made he did not waver in his resolve.

Valley Forge is a testimonial to that resolve. Valley Forge was a strategic location chosen because it separated the British forces in Philadelphia from the colonist Congress operating in York, Pennsylvania. It was there with a small army of 11,000 men through a freezing winter with few supplies and many desertions that Washington was able to train his forces, with the help of Baron Frederick Van Steuben. The sheer force of his belief in the colonists right to freedom was what pulled him through these, the darkest hours of the American Revolution. Washington went on to win our independence. Lord Cornwallis, leader of the British forces, surrendered on October 19, 1781. It took two more years before a peace treaty was signed in 1783 recognizing the colonists’ independence.

Abraham Lincoln was our 16th president, and he is known as "The Great Emancipator."

Nicknamed "Honest Abe" for his honesty and fairness and coming from very humble beginnings, Abraham Lincoln is the finest example of what an individual can achieve with hard work and the ambition to learn and to lead. He read constantly and went to great pains to get his hands on any books he could find to further his quest for knowledge. In his youth he walked miles to get to the only school house in his region. He did his homework by the light of the fire and used the back of a shovel to work out his sums, mathematics. His earliest reading material was the family Bible and he relied on the truths it offered him and the comfort he derived from them throughout his whole life.

Lincoln took office as 16th president on March 4, 1861. Six weeks later, on

valiant – boldly courageous; brave; stout-hearted

RAAMBAH OLLINNC

Abraham Lincoln April 12, 1861, the Civil War broke out when Fort Sumter was fired upon by the confederacy.

The War would not end until April 9, 1865, when General Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House in Virginia.

Six days later, on April 15, 1865, the man who had said, "Slavery is a continual torment to me," was dead, assassinated by the actor, John Wilkes Booth.

Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation on September 22, 1862, giving freedom to slaves held in any state in the confederacy that did not return to the Union by the end of the year.

Slavery was not abolished until the 13th Amendment was added to the Constitution on December 18, 1865, after Lincoln's death.

Lincoln had stated when he was a candidate for Senator of Illinois: "A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure permanently, half slave, half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved. I do not expect the house to fall-but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing, or all the other."

He felt the fate of democracy lay in the preservation of the Union. It is doubtful that a divided America, two separate nations, would have achieved the success and prosperity it has had if the Union had not endured.

Abraham Lincoln is directly responsible for that preservation. "As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master.

This expresses my idea of democracy.

Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference is no democracy. "

Josh Franklin’s Far Out Family Blog Written by Steven Coburn-Griffis Illustrated by Isaac Schumacher Chapter Five: Week Five War is a strange thing. It is horrible and nasty and evil. But even so, people get awfully creative in the middle of it.

A lot of that creativity just winds up making better ways of killing people and destroying things, but sometimes some really cool stuff comes out of it.

The American Civil War was no exception.

On the destructive side, there was the invention of the Gatling gun.

Basically, this was the first machine gun and it was invented by a guy who studied medicine at the Ohio Medical College. Now it may seem kind of weird that someone who studied medicine would wind up making weapons, but there was a reason for it. See, Gatling figured that if he could invent a single weapon that could do the job of a whole bunch of soldiers, then there wouldn’t be a need for as many soldiers on the battlefield. That’s what he said anyway. We all know how that worked out.

On the gentler side, it was during the Civil War that anyone used any kind of aircraft to spy on their enemies. No, there weren’t any airplanes back then. They used balloons. And the man who was in charge of the whole thing was Thaddeus Lowe. It was kind of funny, really. See, Lowe was trying to fly from Cincinnati, Ohio, to the Atlantic Ocean, but got a little lost. Instead, he wound up landing in North Carolina (too bad for him that the Civil War had started about a week earlier). The confederates arrested him for a spy, but he was able to talk his way out of that and they let

him go. When he got back to Cincinnati to get his balloons, he found that President Lincoln thought that using balloons to get information about the enemy was a pretty good idea.

And that brings us to Uncle Ethan’s next letter.

February 9, 1863 Wilf, We still fight, here in Kentucky and the southernmost part of our blessed state of Ohio. The land is different here. At home, when the ground is cleared for fields or pasture, you can see as far as the trees will allow. Not so here. It is as if the ground has bunched and heaved, like a blanket poorly folded. Here it is hard to see ten feet, let alone ten miles, for the hills and valleys.

And Johnny Reb knows this.

He hides up in the hills and rains down bullets upon our heads. He slips behind rocks and trees and sneaks back around behind us. There are a great many Union soldiers and we have great men leading us, but far too many times we cannot find our enemy in order to fight back. There is hope, though, that this is changing and there is a very strange and wonderful reason for that.

20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29

On a sortie several weeks back, I had reason to look up and what I saw nearly took my breath away. It was a balloon, and no small child’s toy, either. It was a balloon big enough to hold a large wicker basket and in that basket was a man. I could not see him well, but he seemed to be looking steadily about him. Not too long after I had seen the balloon, we were told to prepare ourselves, for a band of Confederates was moving toward us.

And so there were, Wilf. Because we knew of them, we took them, all seven of them, without losing a single man. I later learned that it was the work of the Balloon Man, as I have taken to calling him. He is a lookout in an evermoving tower. He can spy the enemy and, through the use of a wireless, report what he sees to others on the ground.

It is a remarkable thing and I pray for more such providences.

Ethan

PERSPECTIVE

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

— First Amendment, U.S. Constitution

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Herald-Times, Bloomington, Ind., on grading Congress: Congress recently received an overall grade of C-minus from 40 top academic experts who make it a habit to study that legislative body.

In the old days a C was considered average, so a C-minus would be slightly below average. And “slightly below average” is simply too high a grade for the poor-to-failing effort of the Congress in 2011.

The grade came from a survey conducted by the Center on Congress at Indiana University.

Comments by Ted Carmines, an IU political scientist who was lead author on the survey, suggested he thought the overall grade was too high with this blunt criticism of Congress: “Congress came close this year to total failure in its main functions of making laws and being a governing branch,” he said.

“That view wasn’t shared by all the experts, As I but, overall, the grades are quite low. This was a severe assessment of Congress.”

The companies would be willing to do so, administration spokesmen explained, because pills are cheaper than paying for additional pregnancies.

The bishops said that was not enough.

They pointed out some of the institutions involved were selfinsured and would wind up paying the additional cost. If they had an alternative compromise in mind, it was not made public.

Obama apparently has agreed it is not acceptable for the government to require a church-governed institution to act against its core principles.

His administration, therefore, was willing to take the churches off the hook and let the insurance companies provide the coverage.

What the administration was not willing to do was to deprive women — of any church affiliation — access to birth control medication and services.

The ball is now in the bishops’ court.

If they can’t accept the administration’s proposal, they should make one of their own. To be acceptable, it should take into consideration the moral and medical reproduction decisions that today’s women of all religious faiths have made and continue to make.

Please respect the American flag To the Editor: This is in regard to the basketball picture on the sports page in the Feb. 13 edition of the Troy Daily News.

If you look close at the picture, you’ll see only about two

or three kids holding their hand over their hearts during the pledge to the American flag. How about parents, teachers and coaches teaching these kids respect for our American flag?

If it wasn’t for our American flag and freedom in our country, these kids wouldn’t have that nice gym to play in and

school to attend.

So how about it, players, cheerleaders, parents, teachers and coaches? Let’s show our American flag the respect it deserves and the freedom to be able to play these sports in our schools.

DOONESBURY

The old Red Scare in a new gray truck Troy Troy Daily News The Red Scare. The Iron Curtain. Atomic bomb drills.

Those of us of a certain age remember those things yet with the slightest of shudders.

In the bad old days of the ‘60s, United States and Russia were gridlocked in an arms race that boded well for no one.

The politicians had us convinced the Soviets were waiting for a chink, any chink in our armor before swooping down to turn us all into their slaves at best or atomic dust at worst.

Thinking critically about those drills we practiced in grade school is laughable.

In the event of a nuclear attack, we were supposed to drop down under our school desks and cover our heads with our arms.

Unless those desks were a lot sturdier than they looked plus lined with lead, it’s crazy to think that flimsy wooden slat and our bony first-grade arms could protect us from anything more aggressive than a semi-determined bumble bee.

It reminds of the story of the first-time parachutist who wonders what to do if his chute fails.

“Gather it up in your arms,” the instructor advised, “and fling it

Marla Boone Troy Daily News Columnist back up into the air.” “Will this make it open?” the nervous student asks. “No,” admits his teacher, “but it will keep your mind occupied until you hit the ground.”

Well, the unfettered military build-up reportedly bankrupted the Soviet Union, removing them from the threat column, destroying their economy, leaving their credit rating in tatters, and causing a run on the vodka supply.

Note to Congress: a bankrupt country is a bad thing. A very bad thing, especially the vodka part.

(That shifty-eyed Putin guy still gives me the willies, though. I don’t think there is any such thing as a kinder, gentler KGB. Putin looks like the kind of person who would keep thumb screws in his

back pocket, just in case.) Ronald Reagan declared Communism was dead, at least the Russian variety, and we could all sleep easier.

I was sleeping just great until we bought a new truck. Stay with me here. It’ll all come together in a minute.

This truck, for all its good points, is just a trifle to takecharge. It’s bossy. It’s demanding.

It’s controlling. I think (duck under the desk and shield your head) it’s a Communist.

We are all capable of punching in a phone number although optimally this chore is not accomplished co-existent with driving.

So for the sake of clarity, safety, and my blood pressure let’s say all passengers in our shiny new truck are capable of punching in a phone number.

But our shiny new truck is not happy with this arrangement. It does not want you to have direct access to the phone. This vehicle wants you to tell it who you are calling and then IT will deal with the phone. Really, is it any of the truck’s business who we are calling? Same with the seat belts. It’s up to the individual (and apparently the Ohio legislature) to decide when to strap in.

Strapping in is, of course, a brilliant idea, but should the owner of a brand-new American-made truck have to put up with an extremely annoying pinging noise if he opts to drive a trailer full of brush at two miles an hour to the back acres without being seat-belted?

Don’t get me started on the door locks. Our Red Menace of a truck has deemed it necessary to lock us in whenever we reach the breathtaking pace of 10 miles per hour.

And there is absolutely nothing we can do about it.

If a person digs deeply enough into the owner’s manual, that person will learn there are variations on the locking-in.

You can choose to be locked in when the engine starts. You can choose to be locked in when the pre-set speed is breached. But you cannot choose not to be locked in at all.

This almost certainly violates one of my basic civil rights. It’s covered in the Constitution under life, liberty, and the pursuit of not being locked into the truck against my will. I wonder if Putin has anything to do with this.

OBITUARIES

Evelyn M. Scheik PIQUA — Evelyn M. Scheik, 88, formerly of Piqua, died at 6:47 p.m. Friday, Feb. 17, 2012, at the Arlington Court Nursing & Rehabilitation Center of Upper Arlington.

She was born April 18, 1923, in Darke County, to the late Edward F. and Rebecca (Harding) Mumaw Sr. She married Evan A. Scheik on Sept. 17, 1949; he preceded her in death Sept. 16, 1983.

Survivors include three sons, Guy B. (Connie) Selsor of Columbus, Charles E. (Lenne SCHEIK Orona) Selsor of Mesa, Ariz., and Evan Scheik of Texas; two daughters, June Shawler of Columbus and Donna Dankworth of Piqua; 25 grandchildren; 45 great-grandchildren; 17 great-great-grandchildren; two brothers, Edward F.

MONTERREY, Mexico (AP) — A fight among inmates led to a prison riot in northern Mexico that killed 44 people Sunday, a security official said.

Nuevo Leon state public security spokesman Jorge Domene Zambrano said the riot broke out at about 2 a.m. in a high-security section of a prison in the city of Apodaca outside the northern industrial city of Monterrey. inmates Several attacked others, and the fighting then spread and blew up into a riot, Domene said. Forty-four people died before authorities regained control of the prison a couple of hours later, he said.

Families of the prisoners gathered outside the prison pushing at the fences and shouting at police to demand word of the victims.

Deadly fights happen periodically in Mexico’s prisons as gangs and drug cartels stage jail breaks and battle for control of penitentiaries, often with the involvement of officials.

Some 31 prisoners died in January during a prison riot in the Gulf coast city of Altamira in Tamaulipas state, which borders Texas. Another fight in a prison in the Tamaulipas border city of Matamoros in October killed 20 inmates and injured 12.

In July, a riot at a prison in the border city of Juarez killed 17 inmates.

Mexican authorities detained the director and four guards over that clash. Surveillance video showed two inmates opening doors to let armed prisoners into a room where the slain victims were reportedly holding a

TROY TV-5

Try calmly discussing the issue with your grandchild

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

Dear Annie: I have two grown children, both married with kids.

My youngest, "Carrie," has a 14year-old daughter who has been seeing a boy for a year.

The other day, we were visiting Carrie, and my granddaughter and her boyfriend got very cozy at the dining room table while we were eating dinner. They started kissing and making out in front of the entire family. Carrie didn't say a word.

I think this is terrible. Carrie is not the easiest person to approach about it, however. If I say anything to her, I doubt she'll respond well.

Any suggestions? — Grandmother in Boston Dear Boston: Carrie may have reasons for ignoring such inappropriate behavior. Perhaps this teenage granddaughter already has plenty of issues with her mother, and Carrie has decided to ignore as much as she can. If you spend time alone with your granddaughter (and we recommend it), you can discuss these things directly and calmly with her. Otherwise, it would be a good idea to stay out of it.

Dear Annie: My dentist performed a root canal on the wrong tooth. Because of his mistake, I had to go through two root canals and two crown preps. He didn't charge me for the one he did in error, but I did get a bill for more than $2,000 for the other.

I feel violated. Crowns do not last as long as natural teeth, so I've lost a perfectly good piece of my anatomy. The dentist now says I eventually would have needed a root canal there anyway, but that's not true. I have X-rays from another dentist that show nothing wrong with that tooth.

I know I could sue him for malpractice, but I don't want the stress of going to court. And the dentist told me if I sue and don't prove my case, he would countersue with a defamation claim.

Should I report him to the dental board? Should I inform my family, since I have recommended this dentist in the past? — A Lakes Region Dear Region: Telling your family is your choice. Mistakes can happen in any profession. However, this dentist should have apologized profusely instead of becoming defensive and threatening you with a countersuit. We recommend you call your state dental society about resolving this conflict. If that doesn't help, you can consult an attorney and find out whether it's worth pursuing a financial solution.

Dear Annie: This is for "Desperate To Help," who is concerned about a 54-year-old friend who "has a great sense of humor and a good heart" and is morbidly obese.

Dear Desperate: Do you enjoy the company of people who are constantly criticizing your choices?

Enjoy your friend for who he is, and stop trying to change him.

If you invite him for a walk, walk at his pace and let him choose the distance. Talk about the scenery and the weather. Share a joke. Do not mention anything about health, or he will know the only reason you're walking with him is to deliver yet another lecture on what an ugly piece of blubber you think he is.

If you invite him for a meal, make it what you usually eat rather than a weight-loss special.

Talk about an interest you share.

Does he enjoy watching movies?

Watch one with him and discuss it.

Maybe you think he should be out jogging instead, but that's not your business. Forget about trying to make him lose weight. Try instead to make yourself a better companion. Right now, you are being a pest. Give him respect and trust by accepting that his habits are his own decision. — S. Dear S.: While we agree that you cannot force someone else to lose weight, you are being awfully hard on "Desperate," who is truly worried about the health of a dear friend and doesn't want him to die young.

SATURDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Simple tips help you get a start on your garden Dear Readers: Want to get a start on seedlings for your garden? Here are some hints about reusing everyday items to get them going: • A favorite is an egg carton.

Put some soil in each little cup section, make an indentation, add a seed, cover lightly, then add a few drops of water. Put it in a sunny window and wait for the seedlings to sprout.

• Use small paper cups.

• You also can use juice cans (orange, apple, etc.). When it’s time to plant the seedling, remove the bottom of the can and simply push out the seeding and root ball, then plant outside.

Don’t know if the seeds are

Hints from Heloise Columnist still good? Give this a try: Put a few seeds between two damp paper towels.

If the seeds are still good, they will sprout in a couple of days.

Then all you have to do is plant them in some dirt. Many seeds, like those from tomatoes, cucumbers and squash, will stay good for several years if stored prop-

erly. — Heloise P.S.: These hints can be used to start cuttings like ivy growing.

It’s also a great way to share plants with friends.

FAST FACTS Dear Readers: Here are some hints for plastic bags that round, flat cotton pads come in: • Use to carry a toothbrush when traveling.

• Use to carry straws on outings.

• Put wet trash in one before placing it in a large bag.

— Heloise KEYBOARD PROTECTION Dear Heloise: With multiple users on a computer, the keyboard can get unsanitary quickly.

The computer store did not have any keyboard protectors on the shelf, stating that they had to be ordered. In the meantime, I covered the keyboard with plastic film wrap (for food) from the cupboard. Transparent tape was placed strategically to secure it.

Do not wrap the entire keyboard though, just the keys. — Margarette in Temple, Texas Great hint! Another hint is to leave the protective film that a keyboard comes with. I’ve left the film on my laptop to protect it from spills or just plain junk.

Readers, what do you think?

Do you leave the protective film on, or take it off? — Heloise

ARLO AND JANIS

HOROSCOPE xxx Monday, Feb. 20, 2012 Brighter and more pleasant times could be in the offing for you in the year ahead. One of the main reasons for this is that you are likely to develop a more relaxed attitude that will serve you well both commercially and socially.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — In your dealings, do what you can to let the other party feel that he or she is the only one who truly knows how to gratify your requirements. If you do, it will gain you extra consideration.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — One of your nobler attributes is your loyalty to your friends. You might get a chance to prove this when one of your pals needs you to stand by him or her.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Because you perform so well while under pressure, you aren’t likely to back away from any challenging developments. You will have plenty of reserves from which to draw, and they will be responsible for your victory.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — If you have something good in the hopper, first check with your best friends to see if they want a piece of it before you bestow it to just anybody. Your pals would do the same for you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Someone who has only given you halfhearted support when you needed it in the past might make a remarkable turnabout and go all-out to help you.

Be sure to show your gratitude.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — To your credit, you’ll do what you can to put those with whom you’re involved completely at ease. In doing so, it will imbue your arrangements with harmony and pleasant associations.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — A person who has unfairly misjudged you in the past based on distorted information will change his or her tune after spending some quality time with you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — It’s never wise to let your heart rule your head, yet today could produce an exception to that rule. You might find it best to allow compassion to take precedence over practicality.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Changes you are likely to be instrumental in making will affect your family in ways that will win you praise from all concerned. It’ll make you feel good that you did what you did.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — You’ll consider it very important to let the one you love know how you truly feel about him or her. Expressing sincere devotion will elevate this person’s spirits and make the day a special one.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You could do rather well for yourself when the results of your good work are tallied. The secret to success is perseverance. Like a cat on a clothesline, hang in there.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — As long as it’s sincere and deserved, flattering another can score points for you like nothing else. Go out of your way to compliment anyone whom you

3 dead in Wash. avalanche were expert skiers PASS, STEVENS Wash. (AP) — Three skiers were killed Sunday when an avalanche swept them far down an out-ofbounds canyon at a popular resort, but a fourth skier caught up in the slide was saved by a safety device, authorities said.

The four were among three groups of skiers — about a dozen people in all — making their way through a foot and a half of fresh snow on the back side of Stevens Pass, in the Cascade Mountains northeast of Seattle, when the avalanche hit.

All were buried to some extent, but the men who died were swept about 1,500 feet down a chute in the Tunnel Creek Canyon area, King County Sheriff ’s Sgt. Katie Larson said.

Most of the other skiers, all well-equipped, were able to free themselves and rushed to dig out the victims. They performed CPR on the three men to no avail, Larson said.

The fourth skier who was swept far down the mountain, a woman, appeared to avoid a similar fate because of the avalanche safety device she was wearing, Larson said. Larson didn’t immediately have other details about the device.

Friends of the victim who died in an avalanche are led away from the Wasatch Powderbird helicopter that brought all three and their rescuers out of the canyon, Saturday Jan. 28, in Alta, Utah.

state, with visitors flocking to the scenic site to go cross-country, back-country and downhill skiing, as well as snowshoeing and backpacking.

It’s been a deadly winter in Washington’s mountains. Four people disappeared in vicious storms while camping and climbing on Mount Rainier last month. The four remain missing, and authorities have said they’re hoping to find their bodies when the snow melts this summer.

Across the West, there had been 13 avalanche deaths this season as of Thursday, according to the Colorado Avalanche Information Center, which tracks avalanche deaths in the U.S. Experts have said the risk of additional slides could remain high all season. They attribute the dangers in part to a weak base layer of snow caused by a dry winter.

Avalanche deaths are more common in the backcountry than at ski resorts. Out of about 900 avalanche deaths nationwide since the winter of 1950-51, 32 were within terrain that was open for riding at ski resorts, according to the Utah Avalanche Center.

Also Sunday, King County Sheriff ’s Sgt. Cindi West said a snowboarder was killed in a separate incident at the Alpental ski area east of Seattle. The snowboarder, a man, went over a cliff.

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.

Starting out front Edwards wins the Daytona 500 pole DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Carl Edwards fell bitterly short in last season’s bid to win the NASCAR championship.

He’s starting 2012 out front.

Edwards, who lost the championship last season on a tiebreaker to Tony Stewart, won the pole for the season-opening Daytona 500, beating teammate Greg Biffle for the top starting spot during a windy Sunday qualifying session at Daytona

Edwards turned a lap at 194.738 mph the fastest polewinning speed since Jeff Gordon’s lap of 195.067 mph in 1999. Biffle was second at 194.087 to give Ford and Roush Fenway Racing a sweep of the front row.

“It’s so neat to come down here and to be so fast and to really have fun qualifying here,” Edwards said. “These are the best race cars we’ve ever had at AP PHOTO Daytona. Coming down here I Carl Edwards drives around the track during his qualifying

Now it’s official Troy’s Zelnick, area swimmers qualify for state Staff Reports Troy coach Chris Morgan thought Michelle Zelnick had a good shot at earning a state berth with the times she swam Saturday at the Division I District meet in Oxford.

And on Sunday, the results were made official.

In just her freshman year, Zelnick had the sixth fastest time of all quailfier’s in the 500 freestyle (5:00.86) — a time that set a new school record — and qualified for state with the seventh fastest qualifying time in the state (1:53.24) in the 200 free.

Troy’s Jake Eldridge makes a stick save during a game against Olentangy Sunday at the Ice Haus in Columbus.

Season of accolades Troy’s year ends with 4-3 loss to Olentangy Staff Reports It was a season of accolades for the Troy hockey team.

The Trojans won the Southwestern Ohio High School Hockey League regular season title, while posting an average of 4.58 goal per game and holding opponents to 2.24 goals per game.

COLUMBUS Then, after the success during the regular season, Troy made it all the way to the finals of the SWOHSHL tournament, before falling to Springboro to finish runnerup.

But in its first round tournament game on Sunday, the Trojans were ousted by

“I can’t believe she placed fourth and fifth at our district meet, then had the sixth and seventh fastest time’s in the whole state,” Morgan said. “I guess that’s why they call the Southwest District the ‘district of champions.’

“We are really looking forward to taking her to state this weekend, and seeing what she can do. I think she learned a lot from the two races (on Saturday). She should be able to build off that and improve her time.”

Tippecanoe also had some qualifiers in Division II, as senior Brent MacKenzie qualified with the third best time in the 200 individual medley (1:52.44) and he posted the seventh fastest time in the state in the 100 breaststroke (1:00.49).

Also for the Tipp boys, the 400 freestyle relay team earned a state qualification, ending up with the 17th best time in the state (3:22.61). Tipp’s 200 medley relay team also got to state, finishing with the 21st qualifying time (1:42.61).

For the Tipp girls, senior Lauren Subler will make an appearance at state, qualifying in the 100 breastroke (1:08.64).

Freshman Bailey Cahill made it to state, as well, finishing with the 22nd fastest time in the 100 butterfly (1:00.23). Tipp’s 200 medley relay team finished with the 15th fastest qualifying time (1:53.31) to also earn a trip to state.

Irving’s free throws lift Cavs past Kings CLEVELAND (AP) — Kyrie Irving’s two free throws with 0.4 seconds remaining gave the Cleveland Cavaliers a 93-92 win over Sacramento on Sunday night, extending the Kings’ losing streak to five games.

Irving’s foul shots came after

DeMarcus Cousins’ basket with 2.9 seconds left gave the Kings a 92-91 lead.

Cleveland called timeout to get the ball at midcourt. Irving inbounded to Antawn Jamison, who gave the ball back to the rookie point guard. Irving drove

into the lane, where he was fouled by Tyreke Evans. The No. 1 overall draft pick then calmly sank both shots to give Cleveland a one-point lead.

The Kings had one last chance. After a timeout moved the ball to halfcourt, Evans’

Yankees trade Burnett NEW YORK (AP) — A.J. Burnett’s rocky tenure in pinstripes is over.

The Yankees and Pirates completed a trade Sunday that sends the much-maligned pitcher to Pittsburgh for a pair of minor leaguers. New York is also giving the Pirates nearly $20 million to cover most of Burnett’s hefty salary in a deal that clears the way for the Yankees to sign Raul Ibanez.

The teams agreed to the trade Friday but it was subject to Burnett passing a physical, which he did Sunday at Pirates camp as pitchers and catchers held their first workout of spring training in Bradenton, Fla. Commissioner Bud Selig also had to approve the deal because of the money involved.

Burnett goes from a perennial World Series favorite to a club coming off its 19th consecutive losing season, a record for the four major pro sports in North America.

“Having played in New York, I can say that playing in Pittsburgh is … I wouldn’t say easier, but just the pressure and everything that comes along with it is less,” said Pirates righthander Jeff Karstens, who also pitched for the Yankees. “That should make his transition here a little bit easier. Anytime you can add a quality arm like that to the staff, it’s going to make us better.”

The Yankees get 25year-old right-hander Diego Moreno and 20-yearold outfielder Exicardo Cayones, both low-level prospects.

Pittsburgh will pay $13 million of the $33 million salary due Burnett for 2012 and 2013, a person familiar with the negotiations said Friday, speaking on condition of anonymity because no announcement had been made at that time.

Haas wins Riviera LOS ANGELES (AP) — Bill Haas wound up making the biggest putt of them all at Riviera.

On the second extra hole of a three-way playoff Sunday made possible by clutch birdie putts from Phil Mickelson and Keegan Bradley on the final hole Haas rolled in a 45-foot birdie putt across the 10th green to win the Northern Trust Open.

Haas closed with a 2under 69 and won a PGA Tour event for the third straight year.

• LPGA Thailand CHONBURI, Thailand — Top-ranked Yani Tseng successfully defended her LPGA Thailand title for her 13th LPGA Tour victory, birdieing the final two holes to hold off playing partner Ai Miyazato by a stroke.

The 23-year-old Taiwanese star shot a 6under 66 to finish at 19under 269 on Siam Country Club’s Pattaya Old Course. She opened with a 73, then shot consecutive 65s to enter the final round a shot behind Miyazato.

On the par-5 18th, Tseng hit her 104-yard approach to tap-in range after Miyazato also hit close.

Last year, Tseng won the tournament for the first of her seven 2011 LPGA Tour victories, including major victories in the LPGA Championship and Women’s British Open.

â– Auto Racing

Nascar ■CONTINUED FROM 14 didn’t even consider the pole, so this is huge.�

Biffle was not as thrilled. “I’m a little disappointed,â€? Biffle said. “I hate the wind. I guess if you’re out sailing, it’s good. It was singing down the back, but coming down the front I just got a big gust of wind coming off of (turn) four ‌ I knew I didn’t have it.â€?

Edwards and Biffle were the only two drivers to lock down their starting positions in Daytona’s unique qualifying format.

The rest of the starting order for next Sunday’s

race is set through Thursday’s twin 150-mile qualifying races.

But only four starting spots are up for grabs.

NASCAR guarantees starting spots to the top 35 teams from last season, three spots go to the fastest drivers in time trials not already locked in and one spot goes to a previous NASCAR champion.

The drivers who earned starting spots in qualifying were defending race winner Trevor Bayne, Tony Raines, David Stremme and former NASCAR champion Terry Labonte.

Clint Bowyer, making

his debut for Michael Waltrip Racing, was 22nd in qualifying but had his time thrown out when his car failed inspection.

NASCAR said Bowyer will have to start last in Thursday’s qualifying race, but that’s the only penalty his No. 15 team will face.

Scott Miller, vice president of competition for MWR, said he doesn’t think starting in the back is too big of a blow for Bowyer. “As far as the 150 goes, you’re going to be to the front and to the back of that thing,� Miller said. “Our competitiveness and

our ability to go win the 150 hasn’t changed any.�

Danica Patrick was 29th in qualifying, but is guaranteed a spot in her first Daytona 500 based on a business deal Stewart Haas Racing made with Tommy Baldwin Racing. Patrick goes into the season with the points Dave Blaney earned for Baldwin last season, and gets into the 500 because it was a top35 team last year. “To say I wasn’t nervous at all is a lie,� she said. “Of course I was, a little bit. I want to do a good job.�

She watched Saturday

exhibition night’s Budweiser Shootout from the spotter stand, and is anxious to run in the qualifying race Thursday to get a feel for the pack racing. NASCAR made significant tweaks to the rules package during the offseason to break up the two-car tandem and return racing to the fanpreferred pack. “I’m not completely unfamiliar with the pack,� she said.

Edwards, meanwhile, is eager to race and put 2011 behind him once and for all.

His loss to Stewart in the championship race

was gut-wrenching, and despite holding his head high and demonstrating how to lose with dignity, he’s been unable to move forward because of the intense attention on his defeat. “It seems like every media question and all anybody says is, ‘How great would it have been to have one more point and how did you deal with that this offseason?’ Edwards said. “I think this is nice to come here and show everyone that, hey, it isn’t just talk.

Everybody at Roush Fenway went back and worked hard and kept their heads down and dug.�

Lin-stant offense Knicks’ phenom scores 28, adds 14 assists in win over Mavs NEW YORK (AP) — Jeremy Lin had 28 points and a career-high 14 assists, Steve Novak made four 3-pointers in the fourth quarter and the New York Knicks ended the Dallas Mavericks’ six-game winning streak with a 10497 victory Sunday.

J.R. Smith scored 15 points in his Knicks debut and Novak had all of his 14 in the final period as New York won for the eighth time in nine games.

In a game of wild momentum swings, the Knicks reeled off 17 straight points in the first quarter, fell behind by 12 in the third, then pulled it out to beat the Mavericks for only the third time in the last 20 meetings.

Dirk Nowitzki scored a season-high 34 points for the Mavericks, who had been playing championship-level defense but became the latest team who couldn’t stop Lin. Playing for the seventh straight game without the injured Carmelo Anthony, the Knicks got a huge lift from Smith, just signed Friday after returning from China.

Coach Mike D’Antoni had previously said he wouldn’t play Sunday since he hadn’t practiced yet, but when swingman Bill Walker also had to sit out with an injury, D’Antoni needed someone at that position, and Smith hit three of the Knicks’ 12 3-pointers.

Lin had nine turnovers, tied for the most in the NBA this season, Friday in an 89-85 loss to New Orleans that stopped a seven-game winning streak. He has committed six or more in six straight games, but D’Antoni said Saturday he wanted Lin to keep taking risks.

They paid off Sunday, when Lin got the Knicks back into a game that had

New York Knicks’ Jeremy Lin, left, passes around Dallas Mavericks’ Shawn Marion during the first half Sunday in New York. seemed to be getting away in the third quarter, before shooters all around him got hot in the fourth.

Novak made four 3pointers in about 4 minutes of the fourth quarter, then Lin buried one to give the Knicks a 90-81 lead with 6:51 remaining. The Mavs got it back down to two on Jason Terry’s 3-pointer with 3:26 left, but Lin answered with a 3, and the Mavs couldn’t get closer then three again.

Tyson Chandler capped it off with a dunk and had 14 points and 10 rebounds for the Knicks in his first game against the team he helped win last season’s championship. The Mavs made little attempt to keep him, opting instead for future salary flexibility

over his defensive presence.

But there had been little slippage, as the Mavs came in holding opponents to an NBA-low 41.4 percent shooting from the field.

They were limiting teams to 39.2 percent during the winning streak, but the Knicks carved them up for 54 percent in the first quarter as Lin ran the offense flawlessly.

Long before Linsanity, Lin actually started his NBA career with the Mavs’ summer league team in 2010. But owner Mark Cuban said Lin preferred to play closer to home, and he signed with the Warriors, who cut him, as did Houston, in December before the Knicks picked him up off waivers. “It wasn’t luck because

there were how many other teams that could have signed Jeremy and the Knicks were the ones who went out and got him,�

Cuban said. “So they saw something and they were smart enough to go out and get him.�

Friday’s loss may have ended the Knicks’ winning streak, but certainly not the buzz around Lin. “Saturday Night Live� opened with a spoof of Linsanity and Sunday’s crowd included Kevin Costner, Eva Longoria, Spike Lee wearing Lin’s No. 4 Harvard jersey and another famous Harvard product, Facebook head Mark Zuckerberg. Lin’s high school coach from Palo Alto (Calif.) High School also made the trip.

â– CONTINUED FROM 14 Olentangy 4-3, playing inside the Blue Jackets practice facility at the Ice Haus in Columbus.

Olentangy scored in the first minute of the game, but Logan Tiderington’s goal knotted the game at 1-1 moments later. That goal was assisted by Derrick Bark and Brandon Beaty.

Moments later, though, Olentangy scored again to take a brief 2-1 lead, before Clay Terrill — Troy’s leader in points with 56 — tied the game back up, scoring with 8:11 remaining in the period on assists by Will Schober and Sean Clawson, who ended the year as the second leading Trojan in points with 44.

Olentangy, however, got another goal 40 seconds later to make the score 32 heading into the second. “They started off the game with three perfect

shots,� Walters said. “They scored on their first three out of five shots. We were working our butts off on the other end, but we couldn’t get it in the net.�

The Trojans once again tied the game early in the second, as Schober scored on helper’s by Bark and Terrill. But in the third, Olentangy scored two minutes into the period — and the Trojans couldn’t find an answer the rest of the way. “We pulled our goalie and had a chance with a six-on-five,� Walters said. “We had three or four breakaway’s and a couple of backdoor chances.

Their goalie just played a heck of a game. We had opportunities, we just couldn’t get the puck to fall.�

The Trojans end their season with a record of 23-9-2.
