The groundhog speaks: It’s six more weeks PUNXSUTAWNEY (AP) — The handlers of Pennsylvania’s most famous groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, said today the furry rodent has forecast six more weeks of winter.

Members of the top hat-wearing Inner Circle announced the “prediction” this morning.

A German legend has it that if a furry rodent sees his shadow on Feb. 2, winter will last another six weeks. If not, spring comes early.

The forecast was also announced on Twitter, as was referenced in the official proclamation read by Jeff Lundy, the Fair Weatherman of the Inner Circle.

“Forecasts abound on the Internet, but, I, Punxsutawney Phil am still your best bet. Yes, a shadow I see, you can start to Twitter, hash tag: Six more weeks of winter!”

The forecast was delivered after a steady pre-dawn rain turned to snow as temperatures dropped from the

high 30s to around freezing. They were forecast to keep dropping over much of the state, prompting the state Department of Transportation to lower the speed limit to 45 mph for many interstate highways which were already wet and expected to freeze or be covered with snow as the day wore on.

The rain kept some revelers away, with state police estimating the crowd at around 11,000, slightly smaller than in recent years when upward of 15,000 attended.

No mention was made of Sunday night’s Super Bowl, unlike Groundhog Day 2009 — the last time the celebration occurred the morning after the big game — which was won by the nearby Pittsburgh Steelers that year.

Despite the German legend, Phil’s handlers don’t wait to see if he sees his shadow — as he likely would not have on such an overcast day.

NEW YORK — Super Bowl advertisers on Sunday night sought to win over viewers in a variety of ways.

McDonald’s called for loving, Coke demanded more positivity, and Nationwide told the story of a dead boy.

Here’s a look at the big game’s ad highlights.

JARRING ADS Nationwide insurance company’s ad showed a boy riding a school bus and lamenting he’ll never learn to fly, or travel the world with his best friend, or even

grow up, because he died in an accident. The ad for Nationwide was aimed at stopping preventable childhood accidents.

But the ad was so jarring it became the butt of jokes on social media.

Nissan, meanwhile, returned to the Super Bowl after 18 years with an ad featuring the storyline of an up-and-coming racecar driver and his wife struggling to balance work and raising their son.

Some fans noted the ad was set to “Cats in the Cradle” by Harry Chapin, who was killed in a car crash.

IMPROVING BRAND IMAGE Some companies had a lot to prove — and it showed in their

ads. McDonald’s returned to the Super Bowl with an ad for its latest promotion, which will let randomly selected customers pay for their orders with acts of love, like a high-five, fist bump or a call to a relative. The promotion starts today and runs through Feb. 14 The McDonald’s ad was an extension of the company’s recently launched campaign seeking to associate its brand with the positive emotion of loving as it fights to hold on to customers amid intensifying competition.

According to the contest rules posted online, McDonald’s says each participating restaurant will select 100 winners over the course of the contest.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is sending Congress a $4 trillion budget today that seeks to raise taxes on wealthier Americans and corporations and use the extra income to lift the fortunes of families who have felt squeezed during tough economic times.

He would also ease tight budget constraints imposed on the military and domestic programs back in 2011, and unveils new initiatives including an ambitious $478 billion public works program for highway, bridge and transit upgrades.

The administration said the budget represented a strategy to strengthen the middle class and help “hard-working families get ahead in a time of relentless economic and technological change.”

“This country’s better off than it was four years ago, but what we also know is that wages and incomes for middle class families are just now ticking up,” Obama said in an interview broadcast on today’s “Today Show” on NBC. “They haven’t been keeping pace over the last 30 years compared to, you know, corporate profits and what’s happening to folks in the very top.”

Even before the massive budget books landed on lawmakers’ desks, Republicans were on the attack, accusing the president of seeking to revert to tax-and-spend policies that will harm the economy while failing to do anything about the budget’s biggest problem — soaring spending on government benefit programs.

CHICAGO — Many packaged meals and snacks for toddlers contain worrisome amounts of salt and sugar, potentially creating an early taste for foods that may contribute to obesity and other health risks, according to a new government study.

About seven in 10 toddler dinners studied contained too much salt, and most cereal bars, breakfast pastries and snacks for infants and toddlers contained extra sugars, according to the study by researchers at the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. They advise parents to read food labels carefully and select healthier choices.

The researchers analyzed package information and laContinued on Page 10

WASHINGTON — With Russian-backed separatists pressing their attacks in Ukraine, NATO’s military commander, Gen. Philip M. Breedlove, now supports providing defensive weapons and equipment to Kiev’s beleaguered forces, and an array of administration and military officials appear to be edging toward that position, U.S. officials said Sunday.

President Barack Obama has made no decisions on providing such lethal assistance. But after a series of striking reversals that Ukraine’s forces have suffered in recent weeks, the Obama administration is taking a fresh look at the question of military assistance.

Four Magna Cartas united for first time

By GREGORY KATZ Associated Press

LONDON — You can’t exactly call it a reunion — the four surviving original Magna Cartas had never before been in the same place.

So the British Library called it a “unification event� today when the priceless documents were put on display together for the first time.

The event marks the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta, which established the timeless principle that no individual, even a monarch, is above the law.

In 1215, 40 rebellious barons came together to declare their rights to King John, and he reluctantly consented to their demands in an attempt to avoid civil war. It included acknowledgements that taxes cannot be arbitrary, that free men cannot be imprisoned without first being judged by their peers or the law and that justice cannot be denied or delayed.

But within weeks, the

pope voided the agreement, and England was thrown into war. The document was later incorporated into English law.

The original Magna Carta manuscripts were written and sealed in late June and early July 1215, and sent individually throughout the country, making today’s unification unique. “It’s a real moment in history,� said Julian Harrison, the library’s curator of medieval manuscripts. “Magna Carta has significance not just in England but worldwide. Many people regard it as the foundation of the rule of law. It established key principles which have resonated worldwide.�

The Magna Carta influenced not only Thomas Jefferson when he helped draft the Declaration of Independence, but also the writers of the French constitution and the late South African leader Nelson Mandela, who cited it in his famous speech in his own defense at the Rivonia trial in 1964, Harrison said.

Openings on high court stir interest

By PETER JACKSON Associated Press

HARRISBURG — A historic election year for Pennsylvania’s highest court is placing a premium on political endorsements by the state Republican and Democratic parties.

Three of the seven state Supreme Court seats are open — a situation that court officials say is unprecedented — and the outcome of the Nov. 3 election will change the face and quite possibly the partisan lineup of the influential panel.For the nearly one dozen judges and lawyers jockeying for position in the May 19 primaries, winning a party endorsement is a vital step in orchestrating a successful campaign. It’s a party’s stamp of confidence in a candidate that gives her or him a leg up — and often the end of the line for those who are not endorsed.

“Every candidate is looking for any item or nugget or thing of value that they can add to their platform to give them a competitive advantage,” said Jim Burn, the Democratic State Committee chairman.

Christopher Borick, a political science professor and pollster at Muhlenberg College in Allentown, said an endorsement provides “credibility in your efforts to build a campaign” that helps attract political contributions and volunteers in what is expected to be an unusually competitive and expensive judicial race.

“It’s a lot easier to ask someone for cash if you can say the party has vetted me and come to the conclusion that I’m a good candidate,” Borick said. “Parties don’t want to put up losers.”

Bob Bozzuto, the state Republican Party executive director, said the endorsement process also serves to inform rank-and-file party activists across the state who have been interviewing the candidates, often face to face, since late last year.

“Our party members are doing a great deal of work to get to know these candidates” before voting on any endorsements, Bozzuto said.

Over the past decade, Pennsylvania voters have elected three Supreme Court justices. In all three races, both parties endorsed can-

didates and those candidates handily won the nominations.But however helpful endorsements may be to candidates, the political strength and large number of candidates for the high court could make the primaries more confusing for voters, whose knowledge about judicial candidates is limited in the first place by ethical rules that limit what they may say.

“It’s more of a crap shoot. ... The more candidates there are, the more important ballot position becomes,” said Lynn Marks, director of Pennsylvanians for Modern Courts, a judicial reform advocacy group.

Two of the high-court openings stem from scandals: Justice Joan Orie Melvin resigned in 2013 after being convicted of using government staff members to campaign, and Justice Seamus McCaffery resigned last year after being implicated in a pornographic email scandal. The other vacancy resulted from the recent departure of Chief Justice Ronald Castille, who reached the mandatory retirement age of 70 last year.

Republicans, who are de-

fending a one-seat majority on the Supreme Court, voted Saturday to endorse two state appellate judges and a county judge to fill the open seats.

Almost immediately, two other candidates — both appellate judges — vowed to take on the party slate in the primary.

Democrats are to consider endorsements in a field of six candidates when they gather in Hershey on Feb. 21. Democratic endorsements are more elusive because they require a twothirds majority vote — a rule that helped prevent the party from endorsing a gubernatorial candidate in contested primaries in 2014 and 2010.

G. Terry Madonna, a pollster and a professor of public affairs at Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, said endorsements in judicial races simply don’t matter much to voters.

“Precious few will actually know much about these candidates,” he said.

Balloon pilots arrive in New Mexico

By RUSSELL CONTRERAS and SUSAN MONTOYA BRYAN Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Two pilots who completed a record-breaking flight across the Pacific Ocean in a helium-filled balloon returned to New Mexico on Sunday to the sounds of mariachi music and an enthusiastic and emotional welcome.

A large crowd greeted Troy Bradley, of Albuquerque, and Leonid Tiukhtyaev, of Russia, at the Albuquerque International Sunport after they finished the historic journey a day earlier. The news conference was adorned with colorful balloon decorations to mark the occasion, and the event included a champagne toast.

Bradley had been planning the trans-Pacific flight for 15 years, and his wife said he was driven by a goal of doing something better than anyone else in the world.

“Our flight was absolutely amazing,” Bradley told reporters and supporters.

The accomplished Albuquerque pilot had set his sights long ago on flying farther and longer in a gas balloon than anyone in history.

He and Tiukhtyaev staked their claim to those records during a nearly seven-day trip across the Pacific Ocean in a helium-filled balloon.

Their adventure ended just after sunrise Saturday when they touched down in the water a few miles off the coast of Mexico’s Baja California, and about 300 miles

Wright buildings nominated WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Interior Department has nominated 10 buildings in seven states designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright — including the iconic home known as Fallingwater in western Pennsylvania — for inclusion on the World Heritage List of the world’s most significant cultural and natural sites. U.S. Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell announced the nominations Friday, saying Wright “is widely considered to be the greatest American architect of the 20th century.”

Wright’s buildings would become the nation’s first modern architecture on the list, which includes modern structures elsewhere such as the Sydney Opera House, the Bauhaus School in Germany, and Brasilia, the capital of Brazil. Fallingwater, a National Historic Landmark in Mill Run, Fayette County, was built over a waterfall and nestled into a rock mountainside.

north of the popular beach destination of Cabo San Lucas.

Initial plans called for a picture-perfect landing on the beach, but winds pushing parallel to the coast forced the pilots to drop their trailing ropes into the ocean to help slow the balloon for a controlled water landing.

“That was the hardest part of the trip,” Bradley said.

Hundreds of miles away at mission control in Albuquerque, cheers erupted and the cork was popped on a bottle of champagne. The team declared success once they knew the pilots had been picked up by a fishing boat.

Mexican authorities helped to secure the balloon and capsule along with all the equipment aboard that was used to document the historic flight.

Back in Albuquerque on Sunday, another cork was popped on a bottle of champagne, this time with the two pilots and Albuquerque Mayor Richard Berry, who traveled to Mexico to personally meet the recordbreakers.

“They helped put Albuquerque on the map,” Berry said.

Bradley and Tiukhtyaev lifted off from Japan last Sunday. By Friday, they beat what’s considered the “holy grail” of ballooning achievements, the 137-hour duration record set in 1978 by the Double Eagle crew of Ben Abruzzo, Maxie Anderson and Larry Newman in the first balloon flight across the Atlantic. They also easily ex-

Lawyer fights $1 million fine

By MARYCLAIRE DALE Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — A single word of testimony at a medical-malpractice trial has cost a Pennsylvania lawyer a nearly $1 million fine she says threatens her home, her family and her small law firm.

Insurance defense attorney Nancy Raynor says her assets have been frozen and a lien put on her home because her witness had a slip of the tongue during a 2012 trial.

A Philadelphia judge had ruled that jurors were not to hear that a deceased lungcancer patient had been a smoker. Two weeks into the trial, Raynor asked her expert witness about the patient’s cardiac-risk factors.

“The patient was a smoker.

The patient was hypertensive. So yes, I mean, those are big risk factors,” Dr. John Kelly replied.

The testimony caused a mistrial, and the opposing lawyers later asked the judge to sanction Raynor to cover the time and expense of retrying the four-week case.

Common Pleas Judge Paul P. Panepinto Jr. agreed.

“She failed to advise Dr. Kelly of the order before she asked a question certain to elicit testimony of smoking,” lawyers Matthew D’Annunzio and Joseph Messa argued in a brief.

Raynor insists the mistake was Kelly’s, not her own.

“To think that someone as seasoned as I am is going to disobey a court order that was so seminal to the case is just ludicrous,” Raynor, 54, of Berwyn, said last week. “A lawyer is not always able to

control her witness.”

A hearing Feb. 19 will determine if the sanctions will be stayed while she appeals.

“Obviously, every lawyer has an obligation to instruct every witness about the (court’s) limitation. But $1 million? I don’t recall ever hearing of a $1 million fine,” said Lawrence Fox, a Philadelphia lawyer who teaches legal ethics at Yale Law School.

Raynor and her witness — Kelly is a former chief of staff at Einstein University Medical Center — gave vastly different statements at a 2014 sanctions hearing.

Raynor insisted that she told him about the “smoking” ban several times, including that day, although she had not said that the day of the mishap.

Her clients — an emergency room doctor and his insurance representative — said they heard the courthouse conversation.

“I think that Dr. Kelly was under pressure, he made a mistake,” Raynor testified at the sanctions hearing.

Kelly said he had been surprised when his remark caused a stir.

“I did not discuss the order of smoking that morning, no,” he told Panepinto.

He said he could not recall if he had received any earlier warning.

The trial continued after his May 31, 2012, utterance, but Panepinto later threw out the $190,000 verdict and awarded the patient’s family a new trial. The second jury awarded the family nearly $2 million — even though that judge allowed testimony that she smoked.

TROY BRADLEY, left, and Leonid Tiukhtyaev spoke to reporters and supporters Sunday at Albuquerque International Sunport. ceeded the distance record of 5,209 miles set by the Double Eagle V team during the first trans-Pacific flight in 1981. By the time they landed, the Two Eagle pilots had traveled 6,646 miles over six days, 16 hours and 38 minutes.

Asked if he and Bradley were still friends after such a long trip, Tiukhtyaev said no. “We stayed brothers,” said Tiukhtyaev, who holds his own records and has participated in many long-distance gas balloon races in the United States and Europe.

Growing up in the former Soviet Union, Tiukhtyaev said he never thought about breaking the record with an American pilot. “But I’ve always dreamed about it since I was a child,” he said in Russian.

The original route took the pilots on a path from Japan, across the Pacific Ocean and toward the Pacific Northwest before they encountered a wall of high pressure.

They then made a sweeping right turn and headed south

along the California coast for the Mexico landing.

“We enjoy great views,” Bradley said. “We took some great photos.”

West takes new look at arming Ukraine Continued from Page 1 Secretary of State John Kerry, who plans to visit Kiev on Thursday, is open to new discussions about providing lethal assistance, as is Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, officials said.

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, who is leaving his post soon, backs sending defensive weapons to the Ukrainian forces.

In recent months, Susan Rice, Obama’s national security adviser, has resisted proposals to provide lethal assistance, several officials said. But one official who is familiar with her views insisted that Rice was now prepared to reconsider the issue.

Fearing that the provision of defensive weapons might tempt President Vladimir Putin of Russia to raise the stakes, the White House has limited U.S. aid to “nonlethal” items, including body armor, night-vision goggles, first aid kits and engineering equipment.

But the failure of economic sanctions to dissuade Russia from sending heavy weapons and military personnel to eastern Ukraine is pushing the issue of defensive weapons back into discussion.

“Although our focus remains on pursuing a solution through diplomatic means, we are always evaluating other options that will help create space for a negotiated solution to the crisis,” said Bernadette Meehan, a spokeswoman for the National Security Council.

Fueling the broader debate over policy is an independent report to be issued today by eight former senior U.S. officials, who are to urge the United States to send $3 billion in defensive arms and equipment to Ukraine, including antiarmor missiles, reconnaissance drones, armored Humvees and radars that can determine the location of enemy rocket and artillery fire.

Michèle A. Flournoy, a former senior Pentagon official who is a leading candidate to serve as defense secretary if Hillary Rodham Clinton is elected president, joined in preparing the report. Others include James G. Stavridis, a retired admiral who served as the top NATO military commander, and Ivo Daalder, the U.S. ambassador to NATO during Obama’s first term.

“The West needs to bolster deterrence in Ukraine by raising the risks and costs to Russia of any renewed major offensive,” according to the report. “That requires providing direct military assistance — in far larger amounts than provided to date and including lethal defensive arms.”

In his State of the Union address last month, Obama noted that the economic sanctions imposed by the United States and its allies had hurt the Russian economy.

But U.S. officials acknowledge that Russia has repeatedly violated an agreement, reached in Minsk in September. The agreement called for an immediate cease-fire in Ukraine, the removal of foreign forces and the establishment of monitoring arrangements to ensure that the border between Ukraine and Russia would be respected.

In recent weeks, Russia

has shipped a large number of heavy weapons to support the separatists’ offensive in eastern Ukraine, including T-80 and T-72 tanks, multiple-launch rocket systems, artillery and armored personnel carriers, Western officials say.

Some of the weapons are too sophisticated to be used by hastily trained separatists, said a Western official who, like others discussing the issue, declined to be identified because he was discussing intelligence reports and internal policy debates. NATO officials estimate that about 1,000 Russian military and intelligence personnel are supporting the separatist offensive while Ukrainian officials insist that the number is much higher. Supported by the Russians, the separatists have captured the Donetsk airport and are pressing to take Debaltseve, a town that sits aside a critical rail junction.

In all, the separatists have captured about 193 square miles of additional territory in the past four months, according to NATO. The assessment of some senior Western officials is that the Kremlin’s goal is to replace the Minsk agreement with an accord that would be more favorable to the Kremlin’s interests and would leave the separatists with more infrastructure and potentially a more economically viable enclave.

A spokesman for Breedlove declined to comment on his view on providing defensive weapons, which was disclosed by U.S. officials privy to confidential discussions.

“Gen. Breedlove has repeatedly stated that he supports the pursuit of a diplomatic solution as well as considering practical means of support to the government of Ukraine in its struggle against Russianbacked separatists,” said the spokesman, Capt. Gregory L. Hicks of the Navy.

But a Pentagon official who is familiar with the views of Dempsey and Adm. James A. Winnefeld Jr., the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said they believed the issue of defensive weapons should be reconsidered.

“A comprehensive approach is warranted, and we agree that defensive equipment and weapons should be part of that discussion.” the Pentagon official said.

Russian casualties remain a delicate political issue for Putin, who has denied that Russian troops have been ordered to fight in Ukraine.

The report by Flournoy and the other former officials argues that the United States and its allies should capitalize on this fact to dissuade the Russians and the separatists from expanding their offensive.

The report was issued jointly by the Atlantic Council, the Brookings Institution and the Chicago Council on Global Affairs.

The other officials who prepared it are Strobe Talbott, who served as deputy secretary of state in the Clinton administration; Charles F. Wald, a retired Air Force general who served as deputy commander of the U.S. European Command; Jan M. Lodal, a former Pentagon official; and two former U.S. ambassadors to Ukraine, John Herbst and Steven Pifer.

t’s early yet, but already the Common Core State Standards are becoming a major issue for the 2016 presidential campaign.

Developed by the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers in 2009, the Common Core is supposed to give states a uniform set of goals for student academic achievement and “college and career readiness.”

Among the early Republican GOP frontrunners, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush has been outspoken in his support of the standards. But there has been no shortage of criticism from conservatives and liberals, who say the standards simply aren’t as good as advertised and allow for too much federal meddling in classrooms.

Are Common Core Standards necessary? Should states be left to set their own academic standards? Ben Boychuk and Joel Mathis, the Red-Blue America columnists, weigh in.

NICHOLAS KRISTOF

JOEL MATHIS Quick question to critics of Common Core standards: Does 2 plus 2 have a different answer in Kansas than it does in Pennsylvania? Is the English language written any differently in the two states? Is it read any differently in those two states?

No? So what, exactly, is the problem? Is there some good reason we should let a perfectly smart kid in one state graduate from high school a little dumber than the equally smart kid in the next state with higher standards? What exactly is the virtue in that?

Maybe it’s a question of federal overreach. It shouldn’t be, because states can opt out, but some conservatives continue to fret about Big Government’s role in education.

In fact, Republicans have gone back and forth over the years whether they want the feds involved with education at all. Reagan-era conservatives vowed to shut down the Department of Education that was created during the Carter Administration, but conservatives of the George W. Bush era created (with the help of a few Democrats) the No Child Left Behind Act. Now they’re back to distrusting the feds. Funny how the GOP waxes and wanes depending on whether a Democrat holds the

White House. It’s enough to make you think the party’s small government principles are flimsy and highly situational.

Indeed, the fight over Common Core is mostly a battle within the GOP. The standards were created with the support of Republican governors, after all, and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush remains one of their chief defenders.

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal was for Common Core before he was against it.

Once a conservative idea becomes mainstream these days, it seems, Republicans want nothing to do with it anymore. Think Obamacare.

Democrats are also split over Common Core — with opposition coming mostly from teachers unions — though they haven’t made a chest-beating spectacle of it like Republicans. This is mostly a battle of how much “Big Government” the GOP will permit itself. It’s an ideological fight that has almost nothing to do with education. And that’s a tedious disservice to our kids.

BEN BOYCHUK If the Common Core standards were simply about ensuring that the sum of 2 and 2 is the same in all 50 states, they wouldn’t be the least bit controversial.

And if the Common Core were really what its best advocates claim — a rigorous set of benchmarks that builds on

a common foundation of knowledge — then conservatives would have little quarrel.

In reality, the Common Core is just a fresh gloss on decades-old progressive pedagogy. Some of the jargon has changed — you hear a lot these days about “critical thinking skills,” but precious little about content — but the teaching is as loosey-goosey as ever.

What’s more, the Common Core paves the way for a national curriculum — something the federal government has neither the constitutional authority nor the competence to impose.

But once the standards are set, molding a curriculum to Common Core’s tests won’t be far behind.

Republicans got themselves into a real pickle with the Common Core. Because this set of standards had the blessing of state school superintendents and the National Governors Association, Republican elected officials could plausibly claim that Common Core was a bottom-up initiative, rather than yet another federal imposition.

That changed in 2009, when the Obama administration made $4.35 billion in federal Race to the Top funds contingent on states adopting the standards. Even then, the president and his education secretary, Arne Duncan, insisted that the standards remained voluntary.

It’s no secret, however, that supposedly conservative pols will abandon their principles when federal dollars are dangling. With a few exceptions, GOP governors and lawmakers happily signed on to the Common Core. Only later did they bother to look at the details.

Now it’s a presidential campaign issue. A few would-be Republican candidates — notably former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush — steadfastly support the standards, proving yet again that stubborn consistency in the face of mounting evidence isn’t a virtue.

But the rest see the Common Core as polls show many parents view it: as a confounding and expensive mess that leaves their children to flounder. For any Republican who wants to win, the right side is the parents’ side.

A former model, Darrow was living as a gay man, but has stopped engaging in homosexual activity. You could say he has chosen an alternative lifestyle.

But his testimony is not about “gay vs. straight,” and certainly not “conversion therapy” as it has been mischaracterized, or even sex or politics. It’s about choice, family and love. His story isn’t a “happily ever after” in the way our fairy tales end. It’s a love story of a much more everlasting sort, one in which he encounters the love of a creator.

Congress can fix this latest D.C. situation. But the current political environment doesn’t require just legislative diligence but a cultural meditation of the kind that Darrow testifies to with his personal witness. What is freedom?

What is our commitment to it? What trumps it? That’s the debate we’re not having as words are manipulated, sometimes even with the best of intentions.

There should be some meeting ground, whatever one’s positions or beliefs about “love and marriage” — the bullying, the silencing and the assaults on conscience should not be tolerated.

Jailed Al-Jazeera reporter released CAIRO (AP) — A reporter for Al-Jazeera English was released from an Egyptian prison and deported Sunday after more than a year behind bars, but his two Egyptian colleagues remained jailed in a case widely condemned as a sham by human-rights groups.

Australian Peter Greste was whisked away on a flight to Cyprus. His release came as a welcome surprise to fellow reporters and activists who spent months pressing for his freedom.

But rights groups and Greste’s Qatar-based broadcaster called on Egypt to release the other two defendants in the case, which has hindered the country’s international standing as it struggles to recover from the political unrest and economic collapse caused by the 2011 uprising.

Greste, Egyptian-Canadian Mohammed Fahmy and Egyptian Baher Mohammed were arrested in December 2013 over their coverage of the violent crackdown on Islamist protests following the military overthrow of President Mohammed Morsi.

Bill seeks to lower vet suicides

By MATTHEW DALY Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A bill aimed at reducing a suicide epidemic among military veterans appears headed for the president’s desk.

The Senate is expected to take up a bill today named for Clay Hunt, a 26-year-old veteran who killed himself in 2011. The bill is in response to suicides that on average claim the lives of 22 military veterans every day.

The measure, which

passed the House last month, would require the Pentagon and Veterans Affairs Department to submit to independent reviews of their suicide prevention programs and make information on suicide prevention more easily available to veterans.

It also would offer financial incentives to psychiatrists and other mental health professionals who agree to work for the VA and help military members as they transition from active duty to veteran status.

Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., chairman of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee, said he expects overwhelming approval of the bill, which passed the House unanimously and has the support of major veterans groups.

“When you have 8,000 veterans a year committing suicide, then you have a serious problem,” Isakson said, noting that more veterans have died by suicide in recent years than have died in battlefields in Iraq and

Afghanistan.

John Madigan, vice president of public policy at the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, said passage of the bill would be a major victory not just for veterans but for the larger fight against suicide. Veterans account for one out of every five suicides in the United States.

The group has set a goal of reducing the nation’s suicide rate by 20 percent by 2025, “and it is legislation like the Clay Hunt Act that will

Toddler with gun wounds parents ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A 3-year-old boy found a handgun in his mother’s purse and fired just one shot that wounded both his parents at an Albuquerque motel on Saturday, police said.

According to investigators, the toddler apparently reached for an iPod but found the loaded weapon.

Police believe the shooting to be accidental.

The bullet first struck his father in the buttock and then hit the right shoulder of his mother, who is eight months pregnant, police said. His 2-year-old sister was present but unhurt.

Both injuries are non-life threatening, authorities said.

2 bronzes may be

by Michelangelo LONDON (AP) — Scholars in Britain say new evidence has emerged that two nude male bronzes attributed to other sculptors may be the work of Michelangelo.

Experts from the Fitzwilliam Museum and the University of Cambridge say the evidence suggests the figures riding panthers were made after Michelangelo completed the marble David and as he was about to embark on the Sistine Chapel ceiling.

The museum said in a statement today that if the attribution is correct, the sculptures would be the only surviving Michelangelo bronzes in the world.

The sculptures were previously attributed to Michelangelo when they appeared in Adolphe de Rothschild’s collection in the 19th century. But they were unsigned and this attribution was dismissed.

Scholars re-examined them after they were included in the 2012 Royal Academy of Arts bronze exhibition.

San Francisco sees no January rain SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — For the first time in recorded weather history, San Francisco received no measurable rain in January.

The city’s streets stayed dry, and the month ended on Saturday with sunshine and the temperature hitting 70 degrees.

The rest of the Bay Area was also dry. Meteorology consultant Jan Null told the San Francisco Chronicle that other cities, including San Jose, saw at most two one-hundredths of an inch of rain.

The Bay Area is still above normal rainfall totals for this time of year after a wet December. But rain will have to start falling soon to maintain a normal pace. The state, meanwhile, remains in the grips of a drought.

make it happen,” Madigan said.

Supporters of the bill were frustrated late last year when the measure was blocked by then-Sen. Tom Coburn, ROkla. Coburn, who retired in January, said the bill duplicated existing programs. He also objected to the $22 million price tag.

Isakson said the latest version of the bill orders the Veterans Affairs Department to find money for suicide-prevention programs within its $154 billion budget.

A PAKISTANI TEACHER held a weapon Tuesday during a two-day training session by the police in Peshawar.

Pakistani teachers arming selves in wake of school massacre

By ASIF SHAHZAD Associated Press

PESHAWAR, Pakistan — When Pakistani Taliban militants stormed a Peshawar school and massacred 150 children and teachers, nobody could fight back. Shabnam Tabinda and some of her fellow teachers want to change that — and are practicing how to shoot terrorists.

Government authorities in Pakistan’s northwest frontier have given permission for teachers to carry concealed firearms in response to the Dec. 16 attack in Peshawar that became one of the deadliest terrorist strikes in Pakistani history.

Many educators reject the idea of arming teachers as reckless and counterproductive, reflecting the kind of arguments in U.S. school systems overshadowed by their own occasional mass shootings.

But for teachers like 37-year-old Tabinda, going to work unarmed no longer feels like an option. She and 10 other female teachers at the Frontier College for Women are taking pride in their newfound marksmanship with handguns, and plan to carry them to help protect their students aged 16 to 21.

Asked whether she felt confident of killing a terrorist at her school, Tabinda was emphatic in reply: “Yes. Whoever kills innocents, God willing I will shoot them.”

Mushtuq Ghani, the higher education minister in the Khyber Paktunkhwa provincial government based in Peshawar, says its Cabinet supports the arming of teachers as a logical measure given the reality that the region’s 65,000 police are stretched too thin to provide a first line of defense to nearly 50,000 schools.

Terrorists need to know that schools

aren’t defenseless, and armed teachers could potentially hold off gunmen and buy time for police reinforcements to arrive, he said. Teachers would need to provide their own legally licensed firearms, which many already possess to defend their homes.

“We’re at war,” he said.

The Pakistani Taliban have killed tens of thousands over the past decade as it seeks to overthrow the government and impose its own harsh brand of Islam.

Following the Peshawar attack, the government increased military operations in the tribal borderland with Afghanistan where the militants are based, reinstated the death penalty for people convicted of terrorism, and turned such prosecutions over to military courts in a bid to stop intimidation of witnesses and court officials.

Schools nationwide were closed for several weeks following the Taliban attack on the Army Public School, when seven men disguised as Pakistani soldiers scaled a perimeter wall and opened fire on fleeing children, many of them the sons and daughters of military personnel. When students returned this month, many of their schools had beefed-up security including heightened security walls, closed-circuit surveillance systems and privately contracted guards.

Some teachers licensed and trained to carry firearms already have begun bringing them into their classrooms.

“I carry my weapon, but I always keep it hidden like this,” said Meenadar Khan, a teacher at Government High School in Peshawar, lifting his shirt to reveal the holstered weapon beneath, a Pakistani-made semi-automatic with a seven-bullet clip.

He said teachers at his school met to discuss the government’s plan and

agreed it would be good to have armed teachers in event of emergency to “defend our school and kids.”

But other provinces have not followed Peshawar’s plan to permit teachers to carry a concealed gun, and most education organizations say that’s the right call.

Muzammal Khan, provincial president of the All Teachers Association in Peshawar, said students already were scared by the increased security measures, and seeing their teachers armed would increase anxiety unnecessarily. He said government authorities should take responsibility for defending schools from terrorism.

“Pens belong in our hands, not guns,” Khan said.

Malik Khalid, president of the association for primary schools representing several thousand teachers, said its members have voted against permitting their schools’ teachers to carry guns.

The provincial government is pressing ahead with firearms training workshops for teachers, including a class this week for teachers at a Peshawar missionary institution for boys and girls, Edward’s College.

Fresh from her own two-day course learning to load, unload and fire Glock 9 mm handguns, Tabinda said her family had already suffered enough from Taliban terrorism, including her husband’s wounding in a suicide bomb strike a few years ago.

When she fired her first shot at a paper target, Tabinda said her police instructor was impressed that she hit the bull’s-eye, depicting the chest of a human target. Tabinda said she was visualizing the Taliban killers behind December’s school slaughter as she fired.

“I hit them right in their hearts,” she said.

TOKYO — Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe defended his policy toward terrorism, as the flag at his official residence flew at half-staff today in a mark of mourning for two hostages killed by the Islamic State group.

During a long day of parliamentary debate, Abe parried numerous questions about his handling of the hostage crisis, which came to a grisly end with news early Sunday that journalist Kenji Goto had been beheaded by the extremists.

Abe said his announcement of $200 million in non-military aid for the fight against the Islamic State group, made during a visit to the Middle East just days before the militants demanded a $200 million ransom for the two hostages, was meant to convey Japan’s strong commitment to battling terrorism and fostering peace and stability in the region.

Some have questioned that decision, saying Abe should have been more cautious and not mentioned the Islamic State group by name.

Responding to a question by an opposition lawmaker, Abe confirmed that he was aware of the hostage situation when he made the announcement.

Abe said he wished to publicize Japan’s contribution to the fight against extremism, and rejected the idea of a more cautious approach.

“As international society seeks to restore peace and stability in the Middle East ... I thought it would be the most appropriate destination to visit, and that I should broadcast my message to the world from there,” Abe said. “I thought announcing Japan’s contribution to fulfill its responsibility would contribute to the international community’s effort to fight against terrorism and prevent its expansion.”

Abe said he did not see an increased terrorist risk following threats in a purported Islamic State group video that vowed to target Japanese and make the knife Goto’s killer was wielding Japan’s “nightmare.”

“The terrorists are criminals,” Abe said. “We are determined to pursue them and hold them accountable.”

Still, Japan has ordered heightened security precautions for airports and other public transport and at Japanese facilities overseas, such as embassies and schools. The government also has called on journalists and others in areas near the conflict to withdraw, given the risk of further kidnappings and other threats.

Rare aviation-safety meeting staged in Montreal

By JOAN LOWY

Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Government and aviation industry officials from dozens of countries are meeting in Montreal this week to try to find consensus on how to keep from losing airliners like the one that vanished without a trace in Asia and another shot down in Eastern Europe.

It is only the second high-level safety conference in the 70-year history of the International Civil Aviation Organization, a U.N. agency, but last year was calamitous. A Malaysia Airlines flight disappeared in March and has not been found. In July, another Malaysia Airlines flight was down shot down while flying over an area of Ukraine where ethnic Russian rebels

are trying to secede.

There is broad agreement that the agency should build a database where governments can send intelligence or warnings about risks to aircraft flying over conflict zones. Historically, though, nations other than the United States rarely have posted public warnings about such risks in other countries. Few have global intelligence networks, and it has been considered almost impolite for one country to issue a warning about another. Instead, the practice has been for each country to issue warnings only about its own airspace.

But that is changing.

ICAO, the U.N. agency, sent an urgent warning to members on Jan. 14 that airlines flying over Libya risk being shot down. On Jan. 22, the Eu-

ropean Aviation Safety Agency distributed a French warning that flights over Pakistan might be subject to “terrorist attacks.”

Ukraine had warned airlines flying over its territory to remain above 32,000 feet. The Malaysia plane, however, was flying at about 33,000 feet from the Netherlands to Kuala Lumpur, the Malaysian capital, when it was fired upon.

A majority of the 298 people aboard were Dutch citizens. The Netherlands wants airlines to tell passengers before takeoff whether a plane’s flight path will cross a conflict zone. Airlines and other nations say that goes too far.

While sympathetic to the Dutch concerns, “we’re also confident that an ICAO centralized database repre-

sents a reasonable balance,” said Kenneth Quinn, former general counsel at the Federal Aviation Administration.

There also are disagreements about whether database information should be screened before being made public, and how to handle conflicting or inaccurate information.

Besides official intelligence, the database is expected to include media reports and other unofficial information.

The U.S. does not believe the U.N. agency is capable of evaluating the information and wants sources of reports to be identified so users can decide how much weight they want to give them, said a U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the issue is politically sensitive.

EVERYDAY CHEAPSKATE It was the worst day of my life. Not one of the worst days. Not a day where not one thing seems to go right. Worse than that.

Worse than any day I’d ever experienced before that day, worse than any day since.

And I would say that like most people, I’ve had some real doozies.

I was in crisis, the kind that took my Email breath questions or away and tips to made me mary@every believe I daycheap had no skate.com or hope. My Everyday world Cheapskate, crashed.

P.O. Box 2135, We were Paramount, four CA 90723. months behind on our mortgage. All of the credit accounts were maxed to the hilt, and beyond. We had bills on top of bills, collections up the wazoo. We had no money and worse, no jobs. Not one between us. Nothing coming in. I hate to even tell you how much credit card debt I’d run up and the size of our mortgage and automobile leases. It was really, really bad.

This was not a crisis that developed overnight. It started gradually, of course.

Not many people start out in financial trouble.

Neither did I. It happened quite innocently, really.

Over the years, one thing led to another and the whole thing began to speed up. I always told myself everything would work out.

Somehow it would.

It didn’t.

Instead, the proverbial perfect storm gathered despite all of my brilliant plans, schemes and dreams. I thought I had it all under control. But I didn’t.

I couldn’t stop it. It brought me down to a very deep and dark place. It changed my life.

My worst day happened more than 30 years ago, but it seems like only yesterday.

That’s how much it has not faded, how poignant it remains to this day.

Only recently have I come to terms with that time in my life. I’ve peeled away the shame, sorrow and guilt.

Do you know what I’ve found under all of that? Joy, peace. Gratitude for the crisis.

I can see the beauty that came out of my broken heart. The crisis was a gift.

Like a skilled surgeon, it cut deep to remove the fantasies, lies and deceit. Becoming real was hard and painful. A lot of good things are.

I’m told that “crisis” comes from the Greek word meaning to sift or separate. Have you ever sifted sand at the beach, looking for that perfect shell or panned for gold?

Sifted through a vacuum cleaner bag to find a lost earring or diamond?

Searched through bags of garbage in a landfill looking for something you lost that is so precious? That’s the picture.

My crisis removed the fakery. It ripped away the sham that made people think we had it all together.

Credit has a way of letting us build false lives that look good but are like a movie set. It’s a nice front, but that’s about all.

Are you facing a crisis today? I have been where you are. I’ve lived through this day — the day you woke up terrified. I understand. I get it.

I may not share the details of your crisis because every situation is different.

But I know where you are.

You’re confused. You think this is the worst day of your life. But you’re wrong.

This is the best day of your life because you’re about to find out what’s real. You have been handed the gift of crisis.

I am so grateful for the crisis that picked me up, slammed me to the ground and left me for dead. It woke me up in the most unloving way possible.

Hero from 1920 blizzard still remembered

By ANDREA JOHNSON Minot (N.D.) Daily News

CENTER, N.D. — People still remember Hazel Miner in Center, 95 years after the teenager froze to death in a sudden spring blizzard while protecting her little brother and sister from the harsh elements.

High school principal Tracy Peterson said the school library has several books on the subject.

Sixth-grade teacher Claudia Albers said she teaches a unit on the Miner story every March. The story serves as a reminder to the children of just how quickly the weather can turn dangerous, even if temperatures have started to warm up in February and March.

“I have copies of some of the original newspapers,” Albers told the Minot Daily News. “We read the story ... I usually use it in March, too, and (talk about) what do we need in a blizzard.”

Albers, a Center native, also incor-

porates a magazine article about Hazel Miner and a speech written by Albers’ daughter.

Albers said she also talks with the children about how far technology has advanced.

In 1920, when the spring blizzard struck, North Dakotans didn’t have a reliable way to predict changes in the weather.

Hazel was one of 34 people who died during the three-day spring blizzard in March 1920. On March 15, 1920, classes at her one-room rural Center schoolhouse were let out early because of blizzard conditions. The children’s father rode to the school on horseback to guide his children safely home. He hitched the horse to their sleigh and told them to wait while he got his own horse. The horse guiding the sleigh took off on its own before he got back and it headed in the wrong direction.

Hazel, 15, was holding the reins, with her two siblings, Emmet, 10, and Myrdith, 8, as passengers. She was

lost and unable to see in the blizzard conditions. Hazel’s sleigh hit a coulee and overturned. Hazel, up to her waist in slushy snow, tried to set it right but failed. They turned the sleigh into a makeshift shelter, waiting for help to arrive. Hazel kept her brother and sister moving and talking. She spread blankets over them and eventually also unbuttoned her overcoat and spread it over the two younger children. She laid over them to keep them warm. Eventually, Hazel stopped moving. When a search party found the three Miner children the next afternoon 25 hours after they had set out from the schoolhouse, Hazel was dead but her two siblings had survived because she kept them warm. Their horse was still standing nearby.

“We talk about what kind of person she was,” said Albers, who emphasizes Hazel’s bravery and how heartbreaking her death was. In one of the newspaper articles at the time, it is said that Hazel’s mother fell asleep

while the search party was out for the children. She said later that Hazel came to her in a dream and said, “I was cold, Mama, but I’m not anymore.” Chuck Suchy also wrote a song called “The Ballad of Hazel Miner” that Albers plays during the lesson.

“Some of the kids, the girls especially, have tears in their eyes,” said Albers, when she teaches the story.

She said most of her students have never heard of Hazel Miner and find the story interesting.

If the weather permits, Albers said she and the class will walk down to the county courthouse in Center to see the monument erected to Hazel in 1936.

It reads: “In Memory of Hazel Miner April 11, 1904 March 16, 1920 To the dead a tribute, To the living a memory, To posterity an inspiration.”

Today, there is also a housing addition in Center named in Hazel’s memory. Peterson said the story puts Center on the map.

Celebrities offer words of support for Houston’s daughter

By The Associated Press ATLANTA — Celebrities are offering their support and prayers for Whitney Houston’s daughter, who authorities say was recently found face down and unresponsive in a bathtub in a suburban Atlanta townhouse.

Police said Bobbi Kristina Brown, 21, was taken Saturday to a hospital in the northern Atlanta suburb of Roswell, Ga. La Toya Jackson is one of several celebrities who used Twitter to express her support Sunday. “Let’s All Send Love Light & Prayers to Bobbi Kristina Brown!” Jackson

tweeted. “Wishing Her A Healthy & Speedy Recovery!”

Singer-songwriter Missy Elliott said on Twitter that she’s also throwing her support behind Brown. “Still Praying 4 Bobbi Kristina,” Elliott tweeted in part.

Brown is the daughter of Houston and R&B singer Bobby Brown.

Lindsey Harber, a spokeswoman at North Fulton Hospital, where police say Houston’s daughter was taken, declined comment.

“I can’t confirm she’s even there,” Harber said Sunday.

Brown’s husband, Nick Gordon, along with a friend, found the woman in a bath-

PEOPLE tub on Saturday, Roswell police said in a statement. The friend called 911 while Brown’s husband performed CPR on the woman because they did not believe she was breathing nor did she have a pulse, said Officer Lisa Holland, a Roswell Police Department spokeswoman.

Police gave Brown additional care before she was taken to the hospital, Holland said.

Whitney Houston was found dead in a hotel bathtub on Feb. 11, 2012, in Beverly Hills, Calif.

❏❏❏ PHOENIX — Even with Super Bowl-winning New England Patriots’ players in the room Sunday night, Jimmy Fallon was the only MVP for hundreds of people in a Phoenix theater.

The Patriots’ Brandon LaFell, Danny Amendola and LeGarrette Blount were just a few of the surprise guests during a special Super Bowl edition of “The Tonight Show” Sunday night. Still, Fallon’s infectious song-anddance energy, as well as his lip-syncing skills, were at the forefront.

The special taping was one of the hottest events in town

with tickets selling out in less than three minutes. More than 42,000 people vied for the more than 1,300 seats, according to show representatives.

“The Tonight Show” host, whose collaborations with chart-topping singers have become YouTube hits, screened an a cappella version of “We Are The Champions” in honor of the Super Bowl. The pre-taped segment featured the “Tonight Show” band The Roots and several artists including Carrie Underwood, One Direction, Blake Shelton and Christina Aguilera. Fallon brought out Arnold Schwarzenegger —

dressed like his “Terminator” persona — to segue to the show’s first commercial break.

The night’s biggest laughs went to a “Super Bowl of Lip Sync Battles.” Fallon, actors Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart brought their best emoting to the competition where they took turns fauxsinging.

Perhaps in a nod to Idina Menzel singing the national anthem earlier in the day, Ferrell put his own jazz hands on “Let It Go” from “Frozen.” Kevin Hart let out a “Roar” in honor of Super Bowl halftime performer Katy Perry.

TODAY IN HISTORY

By The Associated Press

Today is Monday, Feb. 2, the 33rd day of 2015. There are 332 days left in the year.

This is Groundhog Day. Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 2, 1925, the legendary Alaska Serum Run ended as the last of a series of dog mushers brought a lifesaving treatment to Nome, the scene of a diphtheria epidemic, six days after the drug left Nenana.

On this date: In 1653, New Amsterdam — now New York City — was incorporated.

In 1848, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, ending the Mexican-American War, was signed.

In 1887, Punxsutawney, Pa., held its first Groundhog Day festival.

In 1914, Charles Chaplin made his movie debut as the comedy short “Making a Living” was released by Keystone Film Co. The musical “Shameen Dhu,” featuring the song “Too Ra Loo Ra Loo Ral,” opened on Broadway.

In 1915, Israeli statesman Abba Eban was born in Cape Town, South Africa.

In 1925, the silent film “The Lost World,” based on the Arthur Conan Doyle novel about explorers who encounter living prehistoric animals in South America, had its world premiere.

Woman’s red face gains her unwanted attention DEAR ABBY: I have a problem with blushing. Whenever I’m the center of attention, even if it’s with just one other person, my face goes bright red. This even happens when I’m not feeling embarrassed.

I’ve learned to cope with the feeling of my face flushing. What I’m having trouble with is people’s comments about why my face is so red.

I’ve never been able to come up with a good response.

Telling them I’m not really embarrassed is met with skepticism. Please help. — RED-FACED IN MEMPHIS DEAR REDFACED: My advice is to be upfront and tell the questioner that you don’t know why it happens, but you’re not embarrassed.

However, because you find it happening even when you are not pressured or embarrassed, discuss it with your physician to be sure there isn’t an underlying physical problem.

DEAR ABBY: I’ve been dating my 42-year-old boyfriend, “Mike,” for a year. I love him, but he’s a heavy drinker. He has a glass or two of whiskey on a daily basis and goes through a huge bottle of whiskey every weekend. (He also drinks beer like water.) When I asked him to cut back, he refused because he “loves” whiskey. I have never seen him drunk or act intoxicated, so he obviously has a high tolerance.

It bothers me that Mike drinks so much and that he won’t cut back. I told him I wouldn’t marry him unless he does. My problem is, I don’t know whether he’s an alcoholic since he doesn’t ever show signs of intoxication. I’ve been told that alcoholism is a progressive disease and that it will only increase.

What constitutes an alcoholic? Is it possible for Mike to drink every day but not be one? I don’t want to lose him, but he also has a very bad temper, and I’m afraid it’s not a good combination if we were to get married. — TORN

DEAR ABBY

IN NORTH CAROLINA DEAR TORN: You are right to be concerned. Even if Mike promised “not to drink so much,” he might backslide on his promise after the wedding.

Also, has it occurred to you that the whiskey may be part of what is causing Mike’s bad temper? Large quantities of alcohol have been known to alter a person’s perception, and the results can be explosive.

If you haven’t already done so, consider attending an AlAnon meeting, which may confirm this.

I’m not a medical doctor, but it would be interesting to know what your boyfriend’s physician thinks about the amount of alcohol he consumes, because the quantity you say Mike puts away may put him at risk for cirrhosis of the liver.

This may be more information than you asked for, but I don’t think Mike is marriage material because it appears he is already wedded to his bottle.

Commercials run gamut from silly to somber Continued from Page 1 Meanwhile, Carnival Cruise Lines’ ad included a voiceover by John F. Kennedy speaking about the sea. The world’s largest cruise company was trying to boost the image of cruises with its first ever Super Bowl ad after several years of bad publicity from illnesses on ships and the Costa Concordia wreck in 2012. And Coca-Cola’s ad called for positivity in the face of online negativity.

The company’s “Make It Happy” ad was an update on its long-running strategy of getting people to associate its soft drinks with happiness at a time when people increasingly see them as unhealthy.

VOICEOVERS WERE BIG Toyota’s first ad starred Paralympic medalist Amy Purdy snowboarding and dancing, set to a speech by Muhammad Ali that ends with: “I’ll show you how great I am.”

A Microsoft ad with a voiceover by rapper Common told the story of Braylon O’Neill, a boy who was born missing the tibia and fibula bones in both of his legs, so he had to learn to live with prosthetic legs developed by the company.

And of course, there was Carnival’s audio clip of JFK.

PUPPY LOVE ... AGAIN Budweiser’s “Lost Puppy” ad was

a winner before it even aired during the Super Bowl.

The ad, which shows a puppy running away to find his Clydesdale buddies, already had 18 million views on YouTube ahead of the game.

It’s a tried-and-true formula. Last year, Budweiser broke records with its Super Bowl spot, “Puppy Love,” which was a Top 10 branded content video and Top 10 video overall on YouTube.

Obama pitches $4T budget Continued from Page 1 year that begins Oct. 1, proposes spending $4 trillion — $3.99 trillion before rounding — and projects revenues of $3.53 trillion.

That would leave a deficit of $474 billion. Obama’s budget plan never reaches balance over the next decade and projects the deficit would rise to $687 billion in 2025.

The administration contends that various spending cuts and tax increases would trim the deficits by about $1.8 trillion over the next decade, leaving the red ink at manageable levels.

Congressional Republicans say the budgets they produce will achieve balance and will attack costly benefit program like Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.

GOP Rep. Paul Ryan, the new chairman of the taxwriting House Ways and Means Committee, accused the president of exploiting “envy economics.” Interviewed on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Ryan said, “This top down redistribution doesn’t work.”

Obama, interviewed by NBC before the start of Sunday’s Super Bowl game, said he believed there were areas where he can work with Republicans, who for the first time in his presidency control both houses of Congress.

“My job is not to trim my sails and not tell the American people what we should be doing, pretending somehow we don’t need better roads, that we don’t need more affordable college,” Obama said.

Obama’s budget emphasizes the same themes as his State of the Union address last month, when he challenged Congress to work with him on narrowing the income gap between the very wealthy and everyone else.

While Republicans have let it be known that they have very different ideas about budget and tax priorities, Democrats voiced support for Obama.

“If we are serious about rebuilding the disappearing middle class we need a budget which creates millions of decent-paying jobs,” said Sen. Bernie Sanders, an independent who caucuses with Democrats and is the ranking member of the Senate

Budget Committee.

Obama’s six-year $478 billion public works program would provide upgrades for the nation’s highways, bridges and transit systems, in an effort to tap into bipartisan support for spending on badly needed repairs.

Half of that money would come from a one-time mandatory tax on profits that U.S. companies have amassed overseas that would be set at 14 percent.

Higher taxes on the wealthy and on fees paid by the largest financial institutions would help raise $320 billion over 10 years which Obama would use to provide low- and middle-class tax breaks.

His proposals: a credit of up to $500 for two-income families, a boost in the child care tax credit to up to $3,000 per child under age 5, and overhauling breaks that help pay for college.

Obama also is calling for a $60 billion program for free community college for an estimated 9 million students if all states participate. It also proposes expanding child care to more than 1.1 million additional children under the age of 4 by 2025 and seeks to implement universal pre-school.

Obama’s budget will propose easing painful, automatic cuts to the Pentagon and domestic agencies with a 7 percent increase in annual appropriations, providing an additional $74 billion in 2016, divided between the military and domestic programs.

Many Republicans support the extra military spending but oppose increased domestic spending.

Another centerpiece of the president’s tax proposal is an increase in the capital gains rate on couples making more than $500,000 per year. The rate would climb from 23.8 percent to 28 percent.

Obama wants to require estates to pay capital gains taxes on securities at the time they are inherited. He also is trying to impose a 0.07 percent fee on the roughly 100 U.S. financial companies with assets of more than $50 billion.

Study: Tot food has too much salt, sugar Continued from Page 1 bels for more than 1,000 foods marketed for infants and toddlers. Results appear in the journal Pediatrics today.

The study notes that almost one in four U.S. children ages 2 to 5 are overweight or obese — and that almost 80 percent of kids ages 1 to 3 exceed the recommended maximum level of daily salt, which is 1,500 milligrams. Excess sugar and salt can contribute to obesity and elevated blood pressure even in childhood, but also later on.

“We also know that about one in nine children have blood pressure above the normal range for their age, and that sodium, excess sodium, is related to increased blood pressure,” said the CDC’s Mary Cogswell, the study’s lead author. “Blood pressure tracks from when children are young up through adolescence into when they’re adults. Eating foods which are high in sodium can set a child up for high blood pressure and later on for cardiovascular disease.”

The researchers collected data on foods available in 2012. They didn’t list brand names, but foods studied included popular brands of baby food, toddler dinners including packaged macaroni and cheese, mini hot dogs, rice cakes, crackers, dried fruit snacks and yogurt treats.

The Grocery Manufacturers of America, a trade group whose members include makers of foods for infants and toddlers, issued a statement saying the study “does not accurately reflect the wide range of healthy choices available in today’s marketplace ... because it is based on 2012 data that does not reflect new products with reduced sodium levels.”

The study “could needlessly alarm and confuse busy parents as they strive to develop suitable meal options that their children will enjoy,” the group said.

The researchers said theirs is the most recent, comprehensive data on commercial foods for young children.

Cogswell acknowledged there have been some im-

provements in the marketplace and said the findings aren’t all negative.

“The good news is that the majority of infant foods were low in sodium,” she said. It was surprising, she said, that “seven out of 10 toddler foods were high in the amount of sodium per serving and that a substantial proportion of toddler meals and the majority of other toddler foods and infant’s and toddler’s snacks contained an added sugar.”

Foods for toddlers should contain no more than about 210 milligrams of salt or sodium per serving, under Institute of Medicine recommendations, but the average for toddler meals studied was 361 milligrams — almost 1.5 times higher than that limit. Sodium amounts per serving ranged from 100 milligrams to more than 900 milligrams.

High sugar content was defined as more than 35 percent of calories per portion coming from sugar, based on Institute of Medicine guidelines for foods served in schools. Many foods in the study exceeded that. On

average, sugar contributed 47 percent of calories for infant mixed grains and fruit; 66 percent of calories in dried fruit snacks, and more than 35 percent of calories in dairy-based desserts.

Also, about one in three toddler dinners and most toddler cereal bars and dried fruit-based snacks contained at least one added sugar. Added sugars, including high fructose corn syrup, dextrose and glucose, raised concerns because they boost calorie totals without health benefits.

“It’s just additional calories that aren’t needed,” Cogswell said.

Kathleen Burnett, of Chicago, said she tries to buy healthy foods for her three young daughters and recently switched brands when she found out her favorite kids’ yogurt was full of sugar.

“When you’re in the grocery store and things seem quick and simple, it’s very tempting to take those things, and we certainly have,” Burnett said. “We just try to use moderation in those prepackaged foods.”

3 teens seek juvenile trial in rock throwing case LEWISBURG (AP) — Three of four teenagers charged after a rock was dropped onto a car on a central Pennsylvania highway, severely injuring the motorist, are asking to have their cases moved to juvenile court.

Attorneys for Dylan Lahr, Keefer McGee and Tyler Porter filed motions last month in Union County Court asking that the case be moved to juvenile court,

The (Sunbury) Daily Item reported.

All were 17 on July 10 when the large rock smashed through the windshield of a car on Interstate 80, striking Sharon Budd, 52, a Uniontown, Ohio, teacher, in the face.

The three, along with Brett Lahr, 19 — whose attorney wants the charges dismissed, arguing that the state lacks evidence to sup-

port them — are charged with aggravated assault, conspiracy, propulsion of a missile into a vehicle and other counts.

A hearing on the motions and others is set for April 30.

Dylan Lahr’s attorney filed a motion to move the trial or select jurors from another county, saying pre-trial publicity that “continues to be extreme” has made seating an impartial jury from the

Fairman finds her niche MC grad does little things for No. 5 Hawks

By MATTHEW BURGLUND

mburglund@indianagazette.net

Lindsay Stamp and Ashley Stoner grab the rebounds and score the points. Leslie Stapleton is the outside threat, and Marita Mathe runs the offense and dishes out the assists. Zhané Brooks and Marina Wareham give a spark off the bench.

So what’s Amy Fairman’s role on the IUP women’s basketball team?

Well, it’s a little bit of everything.

“She does so many things that don’t show up in a box score,” said Crimson Hawks coach Tom McConnell.

“She’ll get a deflection or be in the right place to get a steal. She might not get the assist, but she’ll get the hockey assist, you know? She makes the extra pass.”

And then McConnell summed it up with this: “She’s the unsung hero of this team,” he said. “She’s a big, big part of what we do.”

What the Crimson Hawks are doing is winning. They’re 19-1 and ranked No. 5 in the country, and they look to avenge their only loss when they welcome California on Wednesday at the KCAC.

PATRIOTS SAFETY Malcolm Butler (21) intercepted a pass in front of Seattle wide receiver Ricardo Lockette to seal New England’s win in the closing minute of Super Bowl XLIX, on Sunday in Glendale, Ariz.

Brady finally wins No. 4

By HOWARD FENDRICH AP Pro Football Writer

GLENDALE, Ariz. — The final 125 seconds included a perfect possession by Tom Brady for the go-ahead points, a juggling catch that could have been the play of the year, and a victory-clinching, end-zone interception on a pass — not run — from the 1.

A Super Bowl that got off to a slow start wound up with a “Whoa!” finish, a lot like the New England Patriots’ entire season.

Brady threw two of his four touchdown passes in the final quarter to erase a double-digit deficit, rookie Malcolm Butler picked off Russell Wilson’s short throw while Marshawn Lynch TOM watched, and the Patriots ended a decade drought without an NFL BRADY title by beating the defending champion Seattle Seahawks 28-24 in a taut classic Sunday night.

“Every team has a journey,” said Brady, who was voted Super Bowl MVP for a record-tying third time, “and a lot of people lost faith in us early. But we held strong. We held together.”

He was talking about the preceding months, not minutes. But either made sense. After all, back in late September, when New England lost 41-14 at the Kansas City Chiefs to fall to 2-2, there was a lot of talk about whether Brady was done, whether the Patriots were simply no longer a powerhouse.

Yet Sunday night, when coach Bill Belichick was asked when he knew he had a special team, he pointed to halftime of that poor performance against the Chiefs.

SEAHAWKS COACH Pete Carroll left the field after his team lost Sunday night.

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Because they didn’t go to Beast Mode, the Seattle Seahawks found themselves in Spin Mode.

They were left to explain why they turned Marshawn Lynch — the running back known as “Beast Mode” — into a decoy with the game on the line and chose instead to pass the ball on second-and-goal from the 1.

Intense ‘D’ helps men take off

It looked like it was going to be one of those nights.

The IUP Crimson Hawks were struggling to execute against Seton Hill’s 2-3 matchup zone, and they weren’t getting any consistent offensive flow in Saturday night’s Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference basketball game at the KCAC. There were moments when the Hawks looked like they were going to take off. Devante Chance hit a tie-breaking 3-pointer with 37 seconds left in the first half and then grabbed a defensive rebound in the closing seconds, pushed the ball up the right sideline and dished a perfect 25-foot-bounce pass to Manny Yarde, who was streaking down the left side toward the bucket. Yarde took the pass in stride and scored on a layup just before the halftime buzzer to give IUP a 29-24 lead.

Super Bowl XLIX

The Indiana Gazette

Pats have all the answers PHOENIX — The celebration seemed muted, maybe because these Patriots had gone through so much just to have a chance to win.

They milled about midfield as the confetti streamed down, while Seahawks fans who just a few minutes earlier were sure this was their Super Bowl filed out of the University of Phoenix stadium in shocked silence.

If anyone was worried about legacies and deflated footballs, the frenetic end to this game Sunday night surely went a long way to settle that. If anyone was worried that the New England Patriots couldn’t overcome controversy and recent history, well, the Lombardi Tim Dahlberg Trophy was going back East once is a sports again after the columnist for The Associated Patriots somehow escaped with a Press. Email: tdahlberg@ap. 28-24 win.

For those org. keeping score at home, that’s four Super Bowl wins in 14 years for the powerhouse under Tom Brady and Bill Belichick. But the last one was a decade ago, and the pressure had been building long before the pressure was taken out of the balls in the AFC title game.

“I never thought another trophy would feel this good, but this absolutely does,” owner Robert Kraft said. “Any true Patriot fan understands that.”

Yes, Russell Wilson tossed this one away with one terribly ill-advised throw on what began as an ill-advised play call. No team with Marshawn Lynch in the backfield should throw the ball on the 1-yard line with the Super Bowl on the line.

Indeed, by all measures, the Seahawks should have been the ones celebrating. They should have had their second straight Super Bowl win, and the talk should have been about the dynasty Pete Carroll was building in the Pacific Northwest.

But now Brady has his fourth ring and is in the conversation again when it comes to great Super Bowl quarterbacks. Now the talk can begin again about the great Patriot dynasty that was quieted with losses in New England’s last two Super Bowls.

Give the owner a rare assist on that. Kraft stepped forward upon the Patriots arrival in Arizona with a handwritten speech blasting everyone — including the NFL — who thought the team might have been cheating by deflating the balls in the AFC game against Indianapolis.

He wanted to take the pressure off his team, and he did. The questions about deflated balls became questions about football instead.

And when it came time for actual football to be played, the Patriots were more than ready. Brady was better than Wilson despite throwing two interceptions, and no one panicked when the Seahawks rolled to a 24-14 lead in the third quarter.

Surprisingly enough, the New England defense was also better than the vaunted Seattle unit behind Richard Sherman, especially when cornerback Malcom Butler made the play of his life by intercepting Wilson at the goal line with 20 seconds left.

“It’s not the way we drew it up,” Brady said, “but this team has never given up the entire year.”

They didn’t give up because they were professional football players, and they played and acted like it.

The Seahawks played pretty well, too, but the contrast in styles couldn’t have been more evident.

On the sidelines in the second half, Sherman mugged for the cameras. After scoring the touchdown that put his team up 10 points, receiver Doug Baldwin was flagged for a celebration that looked like something he might do in the bathroom, not on the field.

And in the final seconds, Seattle linebacker Bruce Irvin was ejected after starting a fight.

None of that would go on under Belichick, of course, though style doesn’t always win games. Neither, for that matter, do 37-year-old quarterbacks who hear the whispers after going a decade between big wins yet somehow rise to win the game and MVP award.

Brady was 8-for-8 on the final drive to put the Patriots ahead — all with balls that had been checked and rechecked by the best security people the NFL could hire.

“I don’t think about that,” Brady said when asked if it would be his signature drive. “It’s a team effort.

There’s never one player. It took the whole team.”

On this night the whole team was there, and there were no more questions to be answered.

Seattle defense falters in finale

TOM BRADY hoisted the Lombardi Trophy for the fourth time in his career Sunday night.

Brady gets fourth title

Continued from Page 11 “We weren’t having a good day, but we kept fighting,” Belichick said. “To me, if there was ever a time that we were not going to compete as hard, that would have been it. ... The fight and the competitiveness were there, and that gave me a lot of confidence going into the next week’s game. That was a key point in our season.”

And so perhaps these Patriots were prepared to weather the scrutiny that came with an NFL investigation into whether they deliberately deflated footballs in the AFC championship game two weeks ago. They compartmentalized that and focused on the Super Bowl.

Perhaps they were prepared to set aside Brady’s two interceptions that helped dig a 24-14 hole in the fourth quarter. They moved into the lead after Brady connected with Danny Amendola from 4 yards out for one score with about eight minutes left, then hit Julian Edelman from 3 yards for another touchdown with 2:02 remaining.

Perhaps they were prepared to not let the game get away when Seahawks receiver Jermaine Kearse made a falling, juggling, bouncing reception on his back for a 33-yard gain that set up first-and-goal from the 5 with 66 seconds to go. It was Butler who was in coverage on that play, although there was nothing

more he really could have done.

Perhaps they were prepared for a shotgun pass by Wilson two plays later from the 1, rather than a run by the barrel-chested Lynch, who tied for the league lead in touchdown runs this season with 13.

Butler sure was ready, and his pick sealed the ultimate outcome, even if everyone had to wait while the officials cleared up a field-wide brawl.

“When they passed the ball, I was kind of surprised by it,” Patriots nose tackle Vince Wilfork said. “But at the same time, we made the play.”

Lynch gained 102 yards on 24 carries and scored an earlier touchdown, leaving many mystified as to why Seattle wouldn’t have handed off to him in that vital situation.

Even some of the Seahawks were bewildered.

“I don’t understand how you don’t give it to the best back in the league,” linebacker Bruce Irvin said. “We were on the half-yard-line and we throw a slant. I don’t know what the offense had going on, what they saw.”

The Patriots (15-4) won the fourth Lombardi Trophy of the Brady-Belichick partnership, adding to those from the Super Bowls played in 2002, ’04 and ’05. They lost their last two trips to the big game, though, in 2008 and 2012, both times

against the New York Giants.

This time, though, Brady and New England pulled it out — and in the process, prevented Seattle (145) from the ninth set of back-toback Super Bowl championships.

At age 37, Brady went 37-for-50 for 328 yards and matched his childhood idol, Pro Football Hall of Famer Joe Montana, for most Super Bowl MVP awards. Brady also broke Montana’s Super Bowl record for most career touchdown passes, getting to 13.

On the drive that resulted in the winning points, Brady went 8-for-8 for 65 yards.

“He’s so calm and collected,” Amendola said about his quarterback. “He’s the best. He gets everybody to play at a higher level. He’s our leader emotionally.”

It didn’t matter that the Seahawks came in with an eight-game winning streak. Or that their defense, led by Richard Sherman and the self-styled “Legion of Boom” secondary, was the first in more than 40 years to lead the NFL in fewest points allowed three seasons in a row.

This was going to be the Patriots’ day. Belichick’s day. Brady’s day.

“I’ve been at it for 15 years, and we’ve had a couple of tough losses in this game,” Brady said. “This one came down to the end, and this time, we made the plays.”

Seattle coach takes blame leader Emmitt Smith: “Worst play Continued from Page 11 “I thought it was going to be a call I’ve seen in the history of foottouchdown,” Wilson said. “But I put ball.” the blame on me. I’m the one who It left them speechless in Seattle, threw it.” too. Well, practically.

49ers receiver Dwight Clark, who Butler saw the stacked receivers made a pretty good grab himself: on the right side of the field and The Catch. said Wilson’s eyes tipped him off.

And this from NFL career rushing He ducked inside of Lockette and

made the play.

It was quite a moment for a player who wasn’t drafted, wasn’t even signed to a contract right after the draft. He was an “invited tryout” player — offered a chance to show what he could do in May. This game almost ended much differently for Butler. He was in coverage — good coverage — against Seahawks receiver Jermaine Kearse and appeared to bat the ball down for an incompletion. But as Kearse was falling, the ball bobbled between his legs, and he kept it in the air by batting it twice while tumbling. Kearse made the catch on his back for a 33-yard gain that gave Seattle a first-and-goal at the 5.

Butler went to the sideline.

“My teammates were saying, nine out of 10 times, that ball is incomplete,” he said. “It was devastating.”

A play later, Lynch bulled the ball to the 1. Seattle had a timeout and three plays to try to win the game.

“I thought it was going to be a touchdown when I threw it,” Wilson said. “When I let it go, I thought it was going to be ‘game over.’”

Turns out, he was right. But it was the Patriots holding the trophy.

Matthews makes name for himself

By The Associated Press GLENDALE, Ariz. — Whenever Seattle Seahawks receiver Chris Matthews searched online for news about himself, he always had to add the word football. Any other search for Chris Matthews almost always ended up with political talk show host Chris Matthews.

That will likely change after Sunday’s Super Bowl.

Despite his team losing to the New England Patriots, Matthews made a name for himself with a breakout game in the Super Bowl, catching four passes for 109 yards and a touchdown.

“This is huge for me to finish a game and do what I did,” Matthews said. “Now I feel like I should come back and work extremely hard.”

Matthews played two seasons at Kentucky after transferring from a junior college and was signed by Cleveland in 2011. He was cut before the end of training camp and spent the year out of football.

After that, Matthews played two seasons for Winnipeg in the CFL

NOTEBOOK but had to work other jobs to make enough money. He was working at Foot Locker when the Seahawks asked him to try out for the team.

Matthews didn’t catch a pass during the regular season, but did come up with the onside kick that helped Seattle pull out its improbable win over Green Bay in the NFC championship game.

During the Super Bowl, Matthews made a spectacular 44-yard catch to jump-start Seattle’s offense in the second quarter and hauled in an 11-yard touchdown in the closing seconds of the first half.

CLOSING BRAWL: The end of the Super Bowl was marred by a brawl in the closing seconds.

New England had just intercepted a pass in the end zone with 20 seconds left and took over at its 1yard line. Hoping to just run out the clock, the Patriots had quarterback Tom Brady take a knee. The Seahawks tried to rush the line and get

to the ball before Brady could take a knee, setting off pushing and shoving from both sides.

Skirmishes broke out across the line and a couple of players hit the ground, including New England tight end Michael Hoomanawanui, who was wrestled down by Seattle linebacker Bruce Irvin. Irvin was ejected from the game.

“I was protecting a teammate; emotions flew,” Irvin said. “I saw somebody hit Mike Bennett, so I went and backed up my brother. I went about it wrong. Emotions were flying high and I apologize.”

SQUATTING PENALTY: Seattle wide receiver Doug Baldwin drew a penalty flag for unsportsmanlike conduct after catching a touchdown pass to put the Seahawks up two scores in the third quarter.

Why? Something of a mystery to television viewers.

But it appeared to have been an obscene gesture; Baldwin apparently simulated pulling down his pants over the football as if to go to the bathroom.

GLENDALE, Ariz. — It’s one of the mottos of Pete Carroll’s program. The word “Finish” is everywhere when it comes to the Seattle Seahawks, always with the idea of being the better team at the end of the game.

For a change, Seattle’s record-setting defense wilted in the fourth quarter. Instead of finishing, they faded before Tom Brady and New England’s rally.

“I think I’m going to go lock myself in my room for about two weeks. This one hurt because we had it,” Seattle lineBRUCE IRVIN backer Bruce Irvin said. “We had it.”

Staked to a 10-point lead at the start of the fourth quarter, the best defense in the NFL could not deliver a second straight Super Bowl title for the Seahawks.

All the attention will be placed on the decision to have Russell Wilson throw from the 1-yard line in the closing seconds, resulting in Malcolm Butler’s clinching interception for New England.

But that moment became possible because Brady put together two lengthy fourthquarter touchdown drives against a Seattle defense that late in the regular season didn’t allow a fourth-quarter point in six straight games.

Seattle had the best pass defense, best total defense and best scoring defense in the NFL. The Seahawks had allowed less than 10 points per game during their eightgame win streak to close the season.

Failing in the fourth quarter was a crushing turn for a unit that had been praised for being the best of this era of the NFL. All-Pro safety Earl Thomas sat silent at his locker for more than 10 minutes in an oddly quiet locker room.

“We’ve got to be fundamentally sound. We’re a very good fundamentally sound team, but when you’re not fundamentally sound things happen,” Kam Chancellor said. “Things happen, and a great quarterback like Tom Brady, he’ll find it. He’ll definitely find it. We’ve got to be fundamentally sound.”

This wasn’t the elite Seattle defense of late in the season.

Thomas and Sherman played with injuries suffered in the NFC championship game. Chancellor injured his knee in practice Friday and had to go through a pregame workout just to be cleared.

Then the Seahawks suffered two major losses during the game. Nickel cornerback Jeremy Lane broke his wrist after intercepting Brady in the first quarter, causing a shift in the secondary. Backup cornerback Tharold Simon was suddenly thrust into action and struggled.

Defensive end Cliff Avril suffered a concussion in the second half, and Seattle’s pass rush was unable to get at Brady in the fourth quarter. Brady was 13-for-15 passing in the final quarter, and the Patriots had 123 yards of offense.

“Those were two big injuries to core guys for us, but we ran the same plays,” Sherman said. “We executed, even though some mistakes were made at the end. When you lose two starters it’s going to be tough for your defense.”

The Seahawks fell to 2-6 over the past two seasons when allowing 24 or more points. Five of their six losses this season came when giving up 24 or more.

The question afterward was whether Seattle could use this loss the same way it used its 2012 playoff loss to Atlanta, which was the catalyst for the Seahawks title a year ago.

Bobby Wagner wasn’t interested. “I would rather learn from winning than learn from losing,” he said.

PENGUINS GOALIE Marc-Andre Fleury, defenseman Robert Bortuzzo and the Predators’ James Neal watched the puck go into the net on Mike Fisher’s shot during the third period of Sunday’s game.

Nashville blanks Pens

By WILL GRAVES

PREDATORS 4, PENGUINS 0

PITTSBURGH — Carter Hutton knows he’s not Pekka Rinne, so it makes no sense to even try.

Instead, the Nashville Predators’ backup goaltender, thrust into a starting role while Rinne recovers from a sprained knee, figures it’s better to just stick with what works for him.

“I just keep it simple, play my game and control what I can,” Hutton said.

“The guys battle hard in front of me and try to make the first save here and try to give us a chance to win every night.”

The formula worked perfectly in a 40 romp over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday. Hutton stopped all 21 shots he faced for his second career shutout as the Predators won in regulation in Pittsburgh for the first time since 2004.

Gabriel Bourque, Roman Josi, Eric Nystrom and Mike Fisher scored for the Central Division leaders, who ended a difficult post All-Star road trip through St. Louis, Colorado and Pittsburgh a respectable 1-1-1.

“We felt like lately we’ve been playing hard games, especially out of the break,” Nashville forward Mike Ribeiro said. “We thought we could play better in front of our goalie. Got on our forecheck, were pressing and able to create turnovers.”

Hutton improved to 3-1-2 while temporarily filling in for Rinne. The Predators ended a five-game losing streak to Pittsburgh by taking advantage of sloppy play by the Penguins, who have lost six of eight.

Nystrom and Bourque pounced on Pittsburgh turnovers — one of them by captain Sidney Crosby — to give Hutton all the support he needed.

Marc-Andre Fleury made 20 saves for the Penguins but received no help from a sputtering offense.

“We had some mistakes that ended up in the back of our net and we’re playing uphill from there,” Crosby said.

“We still had a lot of time to get back in the game, but we have to figure out how to score goals.”

The Penguins have scored just twice in their last three games, both in an overtime win at New Jersey on Friday in which they took 43 shots. Pittsburgh kept Hutton a little busier two days later but spent most of the afternoon playing from behind as Nashville made former Penguins forward James Neal a winner in his return to the city where he became an All-Star.

Neal spent three-plus seasons with the Penguins, becoming a 40-goal scorer being shipped to Nashville last June on a draft-day swap for Patric Hornqvist and Nick Spaling. While Neal’s scoring is down a bit, the Predators are off to the best start in the franchise’s history. He was held without a point in 15:09 of ice time but provided a nice screen in front on Fisher’s 12th goal of the season that made it 4-0 midway through the third period.

By then, Nashville was firmly in control thanks to more than a little help from the Penguins.

past Fleury’s glove 4:05 into the game and Bourque doubled the lead less than three minutes later when Pittsburgh defenseman Simon Despres’ attempted clearing pass from the corner instead went right into the slot and onto Bourque’s stick. He slammed it past Fleury and the Predators had matched their combined goal total in their previous two visits to Consol Energy Center.

“You just can’t make plays like that,” Penguins coach Mike Johnston said.

“That wasn’t a good choice by (Despres).”

Hutton rarely needed to be spectacular but made a couple of pretty saves when the Penguins were pressing in the second period. He stuffed a hardcharging Crosby at the end of a power play then turned aside a breakaway by Spaling and a wrist shot from in close

by Paul Martin.

Nystrom put the notion of any sort of Pittsburgh rally to rest with less than a minute to go in the second. Taylor Peck poked the puck away from Crosby as Crosby attempted to exit the Pittsburgh zone and slipped a pass to Nystrom, who was behind two Pittsburgh defensemen. Two flicks of the stick and Fleury was badly out of position. Nystrom’s sixth goal of the year pushed it to 3-0 and the Predators cruised.

NOTES: Pittsburgh played its fifth straight game without forward Evgeni Malkin, who is out with an undisclosed injury. Malkin skated with the team Saturday and could return at some point during this week’s three-game road swing through western Canada, which opens Wednesday at Edmonton.

Red-hot Blues beat Capitals

By The Associated Press Alexander Steen had two goals and an assist, Brian Elliot stopped 33 shots, and the streaking St. Louis Blues held on to beat the Washington Capitals 4-3 on Sunday.

Dmitrij Jaskin and Vladimir Tarasenko also scored, and T.J. Oshie added three assists for St. Louis. The Blues have won five straight and 10 of 11.

Washington’s Alex Ovechkin scored twice, giving him a NHL-leading 31 goals, and had an assist. He became the fifth player in NHL history to start

his career with 10 30-goal seasons.

Ovechkin has 15 goals in his last 15 games.

Karl Alzner also scored for the Capitals, who are 1-4-2 in their last seven.

COYOTES 3, CANADIENS 2: Lauri Korpikoski scored two power-play goals for Arizona and Montreal-area native Louis Domingue made 18 saves to win in his first NHL start.

The 22-year-old Domingue helped end the Canadiens’ five-game winning streak.

Domingue made his NHL debut Saturday in relief of Mike Smith during the

third period in a 7-2 loss in Ottawa. His first start got off to a rough beginning when Alex Galchenyuk scored twice on Montreal’s first four shots in the opening 4:55. Oliver Ekman-Larsson also scored for the Coyotes.

WILD 4, CANUCKS 2: Devan Dubnyk stopped 35 shots to help Minnesota beat Vancouver.

Zach Parise, Jared Spurgeon, Thomas Vanek and Jason Zucker scored for the Wild. Zucker sealed it with an emptynet goal with 55 seconds left.

Djokovic claims fifth Aussie title AP Sports Writer

By JOHN PYE

TENNIS

MELBOURNE, Australia — This was one occasion where Novak Djokovic couldn’t really empathize with Andy Murray, his longtime friend.

As he prepared to receive the trophy for the Australian Open winner for a fifth time in five trips to the final at Melbourne Park, Djokovic turned to Murray late Sunday and offered his congratulations on his friend’s recent engagement.

Nice segue. Murray — to set the record straight — had just lost an Australian Open final for the fourth time, including three at the hands of Djokovic. Murray won the U.S. Open in 2012 and Wimbledon in 2013 to end decades-long droughts at the majors for British men, but was clearly upset at his inability to crack it in Melbourne after this 7-6 (5), 6-7 (4), 6-3, 6-0 defeat.

“I wish you a wonderful wedding and many kids,” Djokovic said, kicking off his trophy acceptance speech. Murray smiled. His fiancee, Kim Sears, applauded from her seat in the crowd.

She’d already drawn attention for her shirt that was emblazoned with the words “Parental Advisory Explicit Content” — a humorous reaction to being caught on camera apparently using ex-

pletives during Murray’s semifinal.

“It’s slightly different thinking for me now since I became a father and a husband,” Djokovic explained. “I apologize for changing the subject.”

His outlook on life had changed between his two most recent trips to Australia. He married longtime partner, Jelena, and the couple had a son, Stefan, in late October.

He said his first Grand Slam title since his marriage and the birth of his son had a “deeper meaning, more intrinsic value.”

“Getting married and becoming a father was definitely something that gave me a new energy, something that I never felt before,” he said. “And right now everything has been going in such a positive direction in my life. I’m so grateful for that. So I try to live these moments with all my heart.”

Djokovic now has eight major titles, including his five in Australia, where he won his first Grand Slam title in 2008 and then won three straight from 2011 before losing in the quarterfinals last year to Stan Wawrinka.

The 27-year-old Serbian is second on the list of all-time Australian Open winners — behind only Roy Emerson,

who won six in the 1960s.

After two tough first sets decided in tiebreakers, when there were eight breaks of serve and plenty of tension, Djokovic broke open the match after the sixth game of the third set and won 12 of the last 13 games. In the first set, he tumbled to the court, lunging to reach a volley, and needed treatment on his right thumb — shaking his right hand repeatedly. The second set was disrupted for five minutes by a political protester running onto the court. In the third set, it was fatigue, with Djokovic appearing to be struggling badly.

“I was just weak. I went through the physical crisis in the matter of 20 minutes and, honestly, didn’t feel that too many times in my career,” Djokovic said. “But knowing in the back of my mind that it was a similar situation two years ago in Australian Open final, where two sets went over two hours, was a similar battle. Then I felt I had some physical edge over him in that match. That was in back of my mind.

That was something that kept me going.”

Djokovic’s win followed up on topranked Serena Williams’ victory in the women’s final Saturday against Maria Sharapova, giving the 33-year-old American a sixth Australian and 19th Grand Slam title.

Monday, February 2, 2015 — Page 13

Hawks take off behind ‘D’ Continued from Page 11 That momentum didn’t carry over to the second half, though, and Seton Hill reeled off baskets on the first three possessions of the second half to regain the lead.

At that point, the Hawks finally took flight, but it didn’t come out of the flow of the offense. It came as a result of a renewed intensity on defense and some plays that required some extra effort. IUP scored off offensive rebounds by Daddy Ugbede and Brandon Norfleet, came up with consecutive steals out of their zone-press defense that led to transition buckets and went on a gamechanging 18-0 run en route to a 72-54 victory.

IUP (18-3, 12-3 PSAC West) followed that with a 15-2 burst that stretched the lead to 26 and buried Seton Hill (6-14) with 8½ minutes to play. Yarde scored seven straight points in that run, including a 3-pointer, and Norfleet finished it with another 3 en route to a teamhigh 15 points.

“The second half we went a little harder to the boards, and Brandon just made a few plays in there and just willed a couple buckets,” IUP coach Joe Lombardi said. “Then when he comes down and has an open 3, he takes it instead of shot-faking and traveling on an open 3 like he did in the first half. That’s the mental part I’m talking about. It’s those types of effort plays that relaxes a guy.

He did a nice job with that.”

So did Yarde, a redshirt sophomore guard who comes off the bench. He finished with nine points, his most since a season-opening win over Urbana.

“Manny brought some energy, maybe the most passion I’ve ever seen him bring

in a game,” Lombardi said.

“And again it started on the defensive end and by going after an offensive rebound.

With those types of effort plays, now when he gets a layup he makes it, and when he gets an open 3 in the corner he makes it, and he knows he’s going to make it because he’s in a good rhythm, and he got himself into that rhythm with effort plays. Brandon did the same thing.”

IUP had one hot stretch and couple cold ones shooting the ball in the first half and finished at 43 percent (12-for-28). In the second half the Hawks hit 55 percent (16-for-29).

They fueled that offensive surge on the defensive end, playing with intensity in their half-court man-to-man and keeping Seton Hill off balance with their press.

“It frees you up on offense,” Lombardi said. “You can’t let the offense dictate how hard you’re going to play defense.

We have to have so much focus on the defensive end that it frees you up to make shots. ... The best offense is when you’re free-flowing and playing with confidence and not thinking a whole lot and just trusting your instincts.”

Tevin Hanner also played a key role off the bench. He finished with 14 points, the fourth straight game and fifth in the last seven that he has scored in double figures.

A 6-foot-5 junior-college transfer, Hanner gives IUP athleticism, length and high energy as a reserve forward.

“I like to put my heart out on the court every time I’m out there,” Hanner said. “I think I bring a lot of energy to the team, and I like that.”

IUP plays host to California (12-9, 8-8 PSAC West) on Wednesday.

IUP’s Fairman finds her niche Continued from Page 11 She has a hand in just about every part of the game plan and does a lot of little things well.

A lot of times in basketball, a player’s value is determined by his or her scoring average, but Fairman is OK with her worth coming from other areas, like assists, steals and deflections. She does average a decent 7.7 points per game this season, but she takes pride in helping her team in other ways.

For the fourth time in as many seasons, Fairman leads IUP in steals, with 49. She’s the school’s all-time most accurate free throw shooter, at 82 percent (154 of 187), and she is in the top 20 for games played in a career, with 107.

“Scoring isn’t everything,” Fairman said Saturday after she helped IUP dispatch Seton Hill, 71-56, at the KCAC. “I will be the first to admit it’s not everything for me. Everybody has their role here. That’s what makes a team.

“Everybody can’t score 20 points a game. Everybody can’t get 10 steals per game.

Everyone has their role, and that’s what makes us a team.

I’m very comfortable with my role because I know it’s going to help the team out.”

When she was in high school, Fairman was Marion Center’s top player and lead-

ing scorer. And when she initially joined the IUP program in 2011, it seemed her future was as a scorer. But as her career evolved, Fairman turned into a consistent player who has made 98 starts and found little ways to help IUP win games.

McConnell said he appreciates the way Fairman has helped the Crimson Hawks, but he knows she’s also capable of more.

“I still want her to score,” he said. “She has that in her. I want her to continue to do the things she’s doing, but I also want her to be a scorer. I want her to be a double-digit scorer. When she’s knocking down shots, that makes us even better.”

That might be a scary thought for IUP’s opponents.

Teams already struggle to contain Stamp, the PSAC’s leading scorer (20.3 points per game) who nearly averages a double-double every night, and Stoner, a tough inside force who often draws double teams.

But if Fairman should get a hot hand?

Well, the Crimson Hawks could be practically unbeatable. For now, though, Fairman is content to do her job and let the chips fall where they may.

“When everyone is doing their part,” she said, “winning is the outcome.”

EAST RUTHERFORD, New Jersey (AP) — Ann Mara, the matriarch of the NFL’s New York Giants for the past 60 years, died Sunday. She was 85.

Giants co-owner John Mara announced his mother’s death on Super Bowl Sunday. Ann Mara slipped in front of her home in Rye, N.Y., during an ice storm two weeks ago and was hospitalized with a head injury the following day. While there were initial hopes for recovery, John Mara said, complications developed and she died early Sunday surrounded by her family.

Koepka earns first PGA victory SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Brooks Koepka rolled in a 50-foot eagle putt from the fringe on the 15th hole and closed with a 5-under 66 on Sunday to win the Phoenix Open for his first PGA Tour victory.

The victory ended a journey around the world for the 24-year-old Floridian. He went from the Challenge Tour in Europe to a European Tour card to a victory in Turkey. But this was the pinnacle.

Koepka emerged from a wild final hour at the TPC Scottsdale in which five players had a share of the lead at some point. Martin Laird lost a share of the lead with a bogey on the 17th. Hideki Matsuyama ended 44 holes without a bogey with a threeputt on the 14th. Bubba Watson and Ryan Palmer ran out of holes.

• DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — An unrelenting Rory McIlroy secured his second Dubai Desert Classic title in six years with a 2-under 70 in the final round to win by three shots on Sunday.

The Northern Irishman’s 22-under 266 total matched the lowest in the history of the tournament, set by Stephen Gallacher in 2013 and Thomas Bjorn in 2001.

The top-ranked McIlroy, whose win here in 2009 was his first as a professional, made just three birdies Sunday but kept mistakes off his card. His only bogey of the round came on the par-3 seventh hole at Emirates Golf Club’s Majlis course.

• PANAMA CITY (AP) — Australia’s Mathew Goggin won the Web.com Tour’s season-opening Panama Claro Championship on Sunday, closing with a 3-under 67 in hot, windy conditions for a four-stroke victory.

Also the 2011 winner, the 40-year-old Goggin finished at 11-under 269 at Panama Golf Club. He earned $112,500 for his fifth victory on the tour and first since 2011.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Basketball analyst Greg Anthony is expected to be in court on a solicitation charge.

Greg Anthony is set for an arraignment in D.C. Superior Court today. Anthony is charged with soliciting a prostitute at a Washington hotel on Jan. 16 after court documents say he responded to an escort ad authorities placed on the classifieds website Backpage.com.

The 47-year-old former NBA player was suspended by CBS and Turner Sports following his arrest. Anthony apologized in a statement to his wife, family and colleagues, calling his actions a “lapse of judgment.”

Anthony had been in the nation’s capital to announce a basketball game between Michigan State and Maryland in suburban Washington.

If convicted, police say Anthony could face up to 90 days in jail. The charge against Anthony is a misdemeanor.

Late run leads Knicks to victory NEW YORK (AP) — Carmelo Anthony scored 18 of his 31 points in the third quarter and the New York Knicks beat the Los Angeles Lakers 92-80 on Sunday.

Carlos Boozer had 19 points and 10 rebounds for the Lakers, who lost for the 10th time in 11 games.

• BOSTON (AP) — Hassan Whiteside scored half of his 20 points during a dominant stretch spanning the third and fourth quarters and Miami held off Boston, 83-75, to snap a two-game slide.

Avery Bradley and Tyler Zeller led the Celtics with 17 points apiece.

Richards avoids arbitration ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — A person with knowledge of the contract has told The Associated Press that the Los Angeles Angels have reached a $3.2 million deal for the upcoming season with righthander Garrett Richards.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity Saturday because the announcement hadn’t been made.

The Angels avoided potentially their trickiest arbitration case by signing Richards, who went 13-4 with a 2.61 ERA in his breakout season in 2014. Los Angeles agreed to a deal closer to the $3.8 million requested by Richards than the $2.4 million offered by the club.

Richards appeared to be a serious contender for the AL Cy Young award until he tore the patellar tendon in his left knee while covering first base Aug. 20 in Boston, ending his season.

This is the bus Rosa Parks was riding when she was arrested in 1955. Today the bus is on display at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan.

On Dec. 1, 1955, Rosa Parks decided she would not give up her seat on a city bus to a white passenger.

She said later that she was tired of suffering the indignities of racism. She had too much self-respect to allow people to keep treating her this way.

Rosa was arrested. Her arrest was the start of a boycott of, or a refusal to use, the buses in Montgomery.

Black people refused to ride the buses Rosa Parks is fingerprinted after her arrest in Montgomery, Alabama. until the laws were changed.

Black churches encouraged people The boycott continued for 381 days to join the boycott. A young minister, Martin Luther King Jr., was asked to and almost made the city bus company go out of business. lead it.

Riding the bus

At that time, on public buses the first 10 seats were usually reserved for white people. If more white people wanted to sit, black passengers had to move to the back of the bus.

Sometimes drivers made black people enter, pay their fares, then get off and come in again through the back door.

Sometimes the bus drivers drove away before black passengers could reboard.

Rosa Parks’ Life

After the boycott Because of their support of the bus boycott, Rosa and Raymond Parks both lost their jobs. No one else in Montgomery would hire them.

They received many threats against them. Her husband suffered serious illnesses as a result of the stress.

In 1957, they decided to move to Detroit, where her brother helped Raymond get a job in the auto industry.

In 1965, Rosa began working for U.S. Rep. John Conyers of Michigan.

Rosa Parks with her She worked for employer, U.S. Rep. him until she John Conyers. retired in 1988.

Raymond died in 1977, when he was 74.

You may have heard or read about protests against racism all around the country in recent months. Racism means believing that people of some races are better than people of other races. The struggle against racism has been going on for centuries.

But sometimes, one simple act of courage can change the way people think about how they treat others.

In 1955, Rosa Parks, a black woman in Montgomery, Alabama, got tired of dealing with prejudice. She fought back with dignity and without violence. She helped set in motion a series of events that changed laws that had allowed people to discriminate against African-Americans.

Rosa Parks as a child Rosa McCauley was born in Tuskegee, Alabama, in 1913. She moved with her family to Pine Level, Alabama, when she was about 2 years old.

When she was 11, she enrolled in the Montgomery Industrial School for Girls. This school helped teach black girls skills to help them be successful as adults. Rosa learned to sew there.

When she was in high school, her grandmother became ill. Rosa left school to care for her. Then her mother became sick, and Rosa cared for her until she died.

Rosa finally finished high school when she was an adult.

Her adult years Rosa worked as a seamstress, or someone who sews for a living, at the Montgomery Fair department store.

She married Raymond Parks, a barber, in 1932.

She became the secretary for the local chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, or the NAACP. In 1979, she received the NAACP’s highest honor, the Spingarn Medal.

Jenna Grasmeyer had compiled a long list of Goldie accomplishments during her volleyball career at Division III’s Goodsport’s Supersport Hope College in Holland, Michigan. The senior outside hitter was a three-time first-team All-American and the school’s all-time leader in kills and points scored. Only one thing was missing: a national championship.

Jenna and her Flying Dutch teammates entered the 2014 NCAA tournament as the No. 2-ranked team in the nation, with just two losses all season, both to conference rival and defending national champion Calvin College of nearby Grand Rapids.

In the national semifinals, Hope once again faced top-ranked Calvin, but a straight-sets victory put Jenna’s team into the title Height: 6-1 match against Emory University from Atlanta, Georgia.

Age: 21 Playing in her final collegiate match, Jenna led all players Hometown: Jenison, with 22 kills as the Flying Dutch downed the Eagles in five sets Michigan for the team’s first NCAA championship. Jenna was named the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player.

‘Sniper’ stays on top

By JAKE COYLE AP Film Writer

NEW YORK — “American Sniper� shot down another box-office record: Its $31.9 million is the biggest Super Bowl weekend gross ever.

According to studio estimates Sunday, the Clint Eastwood film narrowly surpassed the previous top Super Bowl weekend draw at the North American box office.

The concert film “Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: The Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour� opened with $31.1 million against the NFL’s big game in 2008.

Hollywood often avoids competing with the Super Bowl as movie-going falls dramatically on Sunday, but “American Sniper� has proven an unlikely sensation. It has now made $248.9 million in six weeks (and only three weeks of wide release), making it the most lucrative war movie without adjusting for inflation.

(The distinction was previously held by Steven Spielberg’s “Saving Private Ryan.�)

The competition was thin, as Hollywood held off any high-profile releases, effectively ceding the weekend to football.

The Weinstein Co. animated adaptation “Paddington� came in a distant second with $8.5 million in its third weekend. Paramount’s foundfootage, time-traveling thriller “Project Almanac� was in a virtual tie with “Paddington.�

Made by Michael Bay’s production company, Platinum Dunes, “Project Almanac� led a trio of new releases with modest boxoffice ambitions. “Black or White,� a racially charged custody drama that reteams Kevin Costner with “The Upside of Anger� director Mike Binder, opened in fourth with $6.5 million.

Costner put up his own money to help finance the film, which Relativity Media distributed.

Open Road’s “The Loft,� a much-delayed remake of a 2008 Dutch thriller directed by its original filmmaker, Erik Van Looy, attracted little interest. It made just $2.9 million.

That wasn’t much more than the $1.5 million pulled in by a package of TV reruns. The HBO series “Game of Thrones� earned that in 205 Imax theaters by showing previously aired episodes ahead of the April debut of the show’s fifth season.

Estimated ticket sales below are for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Rentrak.

Where available, the latest international numbers for Friday through Sunday are also included.

1. “American Sniper,� $31.9 million ($11.1 million international) 2. “Paddington,� $8.5 million 3. “Project Almanac,� $8.5 million 4. “Black or White,� $6.5 million 5. “The Boy Next Door,� $6.1 million 6. “The Wedding Ringer,� $5.7 million 7. “The Imitation Game,� $5.2 million 8. “Taken 3,� $3.7 million ($21.2 million international) 9. “Strange Magic,� $3.4 million 10. “The Loft,� $2.9 million

‘Gotham’ star Taylor’s Penguin delights fans

By FRAZIER MOORE AP Television Writer

NEW YORK — Although filmed in the real Gotham City, Fox’s “Gotham� inhabits a New York all its own. What resides here is part reverential mythmaking (it recounts Batman’s genesis), part freefloating film noir (whose 1940s manners coexist with ’60s-vintage cars and circa’90s cellphones). It’s a hybrid dreamscape in meticulous limbo. “I can’t believe I’m here,� says Robin Lord Taylor.

But he is, looming large as a shrimpy, gimpy psycho with oversize plans and the cunning to execute them. He is Oswald Cobblepot, better known as emergent archcriminal the Penguin, and since last fall’s premiere of “Gotham� (airing today at 8 p.m.), Taylor has stolen every scene in reach, certifying himself as the greateramong-equals in a splendid cast that also includes Ben McKenzie, Jada Pinkett Smith, John Doman, Donal Logue and many more.

As the Penguin, he is highly stylized, with fashionable downtown duds, inky hair and a leering smile. But Taylor delivers more than broad comic-book strokes. Even infused with a toadying creepiness, Oswald flourishes as a sympathetic chap, the guy you can’t help rooting for.

He’s the show’s most vulnerable, winsome figure, even

Portraying the Penguin in his inchoate stage, Taylor has been free to bring the role a fresh approach. This began with the audition. “They wrote a fake scene with fake names that put the character in a sort of organized-crime situation, but it wasn’t identified,� Taylor explains. “My agent only told me the night before that I was up for the Penguin in a show called ‘Gotham.’ But by then I had already made my choices for the character. I knew what I was going to do

NEW YORK — Pianist Jason Moran made it his mission on his latest album to bring a Harlem jazz legend “back into the conversation� in the 21st century. He’s exceeded expectations by garnering his first Grammy nomination for his unorthodox tribute to singer-pianist-songwriter Fats Waller.

Moran says he was “shocked and so elated� when his ninth Blue Note album, “All Rise: A Joyful Elegy for Fats Waller,� was nominated for best jazz instrumental album, putting him in the same company with pianists Chick Corea and Fred Hersch, among others. “I wanted to look at his music with the spirit that I thought he played from,�

Moran said in a phone interview from his Harlem apart-

ment. “He played for the people, and he was also a commentator on the nation, especially during the Great Depression.�

While respecting the tradition, Moran deconstructed and reshaped such Waller classics as “Ain’t Misbehavin� and “Honeysuckle Rose,� adding hip-hop, R&B, Afrobeat, funk and other modern influences. He enjoyed the support of singersongwriter Meshell Ndegeocello, who co-produced the album and freely interpreted Waller’s lyrics on several tracks.

The album sprang from a 2011 commission from the performing arts venue Harlem Stage Gatehouse to do a concert honoring Waller.

Moran’s wife, singer Alicia Hall Moran, suggested he do an updated version of the Harlem dance parties where Waller got the joint jumpin’.

Taylor’s childhood in Shueyville, Iowa, prepared him for the Penguin’s plight of bitter otherness. “It was a good place to grow up,� says Taylor, “but a public school in a small town is very much ‘Friday Night Lights.’ Football was primary, and I wasn’t into that. So I totally understand being different and having ambitions different from what people expect of you.�

Drawn instead to acting, he attended Northwestern University’s drama school, then 15 years ago came to New York, where he has since appeared in such shows as “The Good Wife,� “Person of Inter-

MacArthur “genius� fellow who recently composed the score to the film “Selma� — felt something was missing from the modern jazz scene where audiences listen intently without leaving their seats. “For me as a professional musician who claims to play jazz, I had never played for a dancing audience. ... That was my goal. Could I make music where people would want to dance?�

Moran enlisted the genrebending Ndegeocello, who brought a high-energy level and ability to move the music in different directions.

For “All Rise,� she brought in drummer Charles Haynes (Lady Gaga, Kanye West) to lay down powerful grooves

and engineer Bob Power, who worked on seminal hiphop and R&B recordings by A Tribe Called Quest, The Roots and De La Soul. “I thought it would have been definitely a detriment to this project if it just sounded like a jazz record,� Ndegeocello said. “It was great to work with such an accomplished, virtuosic pianist as Jason ... who took these great songs and created something different with them.�

On “Ain’t Misbehavin’�

Ndegeocello’s whispery, sultry vocals float over a funky groove from Moran’s Fender Rhodes, while “Ain’t Nobody’s Business� is turned into a slow jam.

Two tracks feature Moran’s

trio Bandwagon with drummer Nasheet Waits and bassist Tarus Mateen, who have a special chemistry after playing together for 15 years. Moran displays his virtuosity on “Handful of Keys,� a solo homage to Waller’s piano legacy with a modern take on his Harlem stride piano style. “I’m always giving praise to Fats Waller,� said Moran. “Waller is already in the Grammy Hall of Fame, so maybe he is pinching off a piece for me.�

The 57th annual Grammy Awards will air live Sunday from the Staples Center in Los Angeles on CBS. Online: http://www.jasonmoran. com/

at the audition and I did it. I guess that was what they were looking for.�

What Taylor delivers is a striver, schemer and survivor who had been bullied his whole life. His shimmying gait — said to look like a penguin’s — resulted when his then-boss, crime queen Fish Mooney (Pinkett Smith), flew into a rage and bashed his right knee with a wooden rod. That became a turning point. No more victimhood for Oswald! “Now,� says Taylor, “he’s finally decided that his ambition won’t let him be that person ever again.�

In a far more benign way,

est� and the “Law & Order� portfolio. He also played a short-lived character on “The Walking Dead.� “The majority of my roles have been darker characters.

I don’t know why,� he says, at that moment the picture of boyish charm. “But it’s a lot of fun.�

The slithery defiance he exhibits as the Penguin is an especially fun way to play his mirror-opposite. “I avoid conflict in my real life at all times,� he says. “My acting teacher called me ‘a fixer’: ‘You want to fix everything and make it OK. You don’t know that you can’t.’�

But however comfortable he felt becoming the Penguin, a couple of things took getting used to.

One was the Penguin’s signature limp.

Taylor’s by-now-famous secret: “In every pair of shoes I wear, the wardrobe department puts a bottle cap� — to be specific, a Poland Springs cap from an 8-ounce bottle — “taped in the heel of my right shoe. It’s not painful, just a reminder to put me in that mind-state — a direct physical connection between me and the character.�

The other adjustment: a dye job every two weeks. “I had never dyed my hair before,� says Taylor, noting with a laugh that once his “blond, blond, blond roots� start growing out, it looks like his ebony thatch is “levitating off my head.�

ASTROGRAPH ❂✵✪ BRIDGE ♥♣♠♣ ❂ Your Birthday TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 2015

by Eugenia Last Make this a productive year by being realistic about what you can and cannot do. If you take on too much, you will end up exhausted, frustrated and disappointed. Your role as peacemaker will bring you recognition, and if you play your cards right, you will be considered for advancement.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Streamline your efforts and concentrate on one project at a time. The more you take on, the harder it will be to remain in control and reach your destination.

PISCES (Feb. 20March 20) — Success is in the cards. Be secretive about your ideas to avoid someone intervening and throwing you off your game. If you follow your intuition, you will come out ahead.

ARIES (March 21April 19) — Slow and steady will win the race. Mistakes are likely if you have too many irons in the fire.

There is someone who wants to collaborate with you. Make sure the partnership is an equal one.

TAURUS (April 20May 20) — Spend time on your own.

Research something or someone you find intriguing. Studying and honing your skills will keep you from getting into a damaging, emotional debate.

GEMINI (May 21June 20) — You will have a chance to try something out of the ordinary. If you participate in everything that is going on, you will have an eye-opening experience.

CANCER (June 21July 22) — You can

get what you want if you are patient. Let things unfold naturally. Don’t rush into new ventures. If you want to take advantage of new possibilities, you must pay close attention.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Compromise will be a necessity.

Don’t fall for an offer that sounds too good to be true. Keep your valuables under close surveillance.

VIRGO (Aug. 23Sept. 22) — Keep an eye out for a job opportunity.

A chance to pick up additional skills should not be missed.

Give whatever you do your best shot in order to succeed.

LIBRA (Sept. 23Oct. 23) — You will end up paying the price if you have been overspending or overindulging.

Make an effort to get back on track and stick to your budget.

Love is apparent.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 22) — Career advancement should be your first concern.

You can increase your cash flow by marketing a unique idea to the right people. A personal relationship needs to be nurtured.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — If you are feeling down and out, take time to rejuvenate. Find a relaxing way to soothe your nerves.

Get plenty of rest and prepare to take on the world.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Love and romance are highlighted. If you plan a fun activity with someone special, you will discover how much you have in common.

An impromptu trip will result in improved living arrangements.

EVEN A TWO CAN HAVE ITS DAY IN THE SUN Elvis Presley said, “I have no use for bodyguards, but I have a very special use for two highly trained certified public accountants.”

Wouldn’t we all like to be in that position?

Today is 2/2, so it seems only fair if a two plays a key role in a deal. This one comes from “Right Through the Pack”

critical in this deal?

South is in five spades doubled.

West leads the heart ace, and South ruffs with his spade three.

What happens after that?

The book was originally published in 1948, when bidding was much less refined. Today, West would make a two-heart weak jump overcall. And North, over one heart, would make a negative double (or perhaps pass). As it went, no doubt North should have doubled five hearts and collected the 500point penalty. But the vulnerability and the necessity not to ruin the story required him to bid five spades. East understandably thought he could defeat that contract.

At the table, South led his spade queen at trick two. East won with his spade ace and returned a heart.

South carefully ruffed with his spade king, not the two, then led that two to dummy’s nine. Now the contract could not be defeated.

Declarer lost only two trump tricks.

Of course, if East had been a spoilsport, he would not have won the second trick. Then South would have had to fail.
