In a time when poverty in Ohiois on the rise, one organization isdoing all it can to raise awarenessfor the homeless and identify itspopulation in the area.In 1996, the Family Abuse

Shelter of Miami County estab-lished the Miami CountyContinuum of Care, a group madeup of concerned residents, countyofficials, service providers and for-mer homeless people. PresidentBarbara Holman, who is the exec-

utive director of FASMC, describesthis diverse group as “people com-ing together to address the needs”of those who are and have beenhomeless.“Our focus a long time ago

when we kind of expanded our con-tinuum of care was to not onlywork with current incidents ofhomelessness, but to think of ways

we can come up with to prevent itin the future and strengthen ourcommunity,” Holman said.As a result, this group does

point-in-time counts, which arecensuses done every two years toinform others on the numbers andcharacteristics of people withoutshelter on that current day.According to a report released inDecember 2012 by the U.S.

Sisters Lindsay Taylor andAmanda Scalice of the Troy salonGiacomo’s discovered they wereselected last week for the opportuni-ty of a lifetime — to style hair forMercedes-Benz Fashion Week inNew York City.The salon, owned by their parents

Cristy and Giacomo Scalice, wasnamed one of the top 20 Philip Pelusisalons across the country. As the toptwo stylists at Giacomo’s, they willrepresent the salon and style models’hair backstage for the lineVenexiana, designed by Kati Stern.“It’s such an honor for my sister

and me to be a part of fashion week.Two young women from Troy, Ohio —it’s kind of a feather in our cap,”Taylor said.

Giacomo’s has sold Pelusi prod-ucts — called P2 — for seven years,but began selling the products exclu-sively a year ago. The salon also sellsthe Tela line of Pelusi, which is theindustry’s first USDA-certifiedorganic line of hair care products.The sisters will leave on their trip

Thursday, Feb. 7. To defer costs onsuch short notice, Giacomo’s will auc-tion off four items: a $100 gift card,one-hour couple’s massage, blowdry/flat iron session and a “berriesand bliss” spa package. The winnerswill be chosen Feb. 6.Scalice, 28, said she’s excited to

see how a fashion show comes to life— “being backstage, seeing wherethe action is behind the scenes, thenseeing it onstage with all the cam-eras flashing.”

Her sister also has envisioned thefashion frenzy that will ensue, pic-turing “being thrown in the trencheswith all the stylists, with creativityoozing from your fingertips.”While Friday and Saturday will

be devoted to Fashion Week, theladies will have the chance to explorethe Big Apple before they leave oneither Sunday or Monday. Neitherhas ever been to New York City.Taylor would like to check out the

9/11 Memorial and RockefellerCenter, while Scalice simply hopes tobask in the bright lights.“I want to feel like a New Yorker

for a few days — whatever thatentails,” she said with a smile.Giacomo’s, 221 S. Market St.,

offers hair and skin care, waxing,manicures, pedicures and massagetherapy, among other services. Formore information, visit giacomos.biz.

Posting threateningmaterials online on aSaturday night could meanbig problems in the princi-pal’s office at school onMonday morning.Miami County school

superintendents remindparents and their studentsthat what is posted onsocial networking sitesmay be subject to investi-gation by both school offi-cials and possibly lawenforcement, if threats aremade online.The Miami County

Sheriff ’s Office investigat-ed two separate incidentsat two local schools duringChristmas break where astudent posted messagesthat were brought to theattention of school officials.Actions by school offi-

cials and school resourceofficers are due to recentchanges to the “JessicaLogan Act,” or House Bill116, which was signed intolaw by Ohio Gov. JohnKasich in February 2012.In the first incident, on

Dec. 28, Newton LocalSchool officials said a stu-dent made a threat onFacebook advising “he wasgoing to kill people.” Thestudent was scheduled togo on a school trip duringthe holiday break. A MiamiCounty Sheriff ’s Officedeputy spoke with the stu-dent at his residencedespite the student remov-ing the post from Facebookwithin minutes of postingit. The student told officershe was upset and mad, butwould not make any morethreats and would have notharmed anyone.Newton Local School

Superintendent PatMcBride said the studentwas not allowed to go onthe trip and hoped it wouldbe a lesson for other stu-dents that online messagesmade at home are takenvery seriously at school.“This was a case of an

emotional outburst,”McBride said Friday. “Kidsdon’t understand that peo-ple take things like this

ALGIERS, Algeria (AP)— In a bloody finale,Algerian special forcesstormed a natural gas com-plex in the Sahara deserton Saturday to end astandoff with Islamistextremists that left at least23 hostages dead andkilled all 32 militantsinvolved, the Algerian gov-ernment said.With few details emerg-

ing from the remote site in

eastern Algeria, it wasunclear whether anyonewas rescued in the finaloperation, but the numberof hostages killed onSaturday seven was howmany the militants hadsaid that morning they stillhad. The governmentdescribed the toll as provi-sional and some foreignersremained unaccounted for.The siege at Ain

Amenas transfixed the

world after radicalIslamists linked to al-Qaida stormed the com-plex, which contained hun-dreds of plant workersfrom all over the world,then held them hostagesurrounded by the Algerianmilitary and its attack hel-icopters for four tense daysthat were punctuated withgun battles and dramatictales of escape.Algeria’s response to the

crisis was typical of its his-tory in confronting terror-ists, favoring militaryaction over negotiation,which caused an interna-tional outcry from coun-tries worried about theircitizens. Algerian militaryforces twice assaulted thetwo areas where thehostages were being heldwith minimal apparent

Of the approximate 44 million caregivers in theUnited States, 61% are women. Most are middle-aged with jobs outside of the home. They do what-ever it takes to provide for their family and care fortheir loved ones, whether coming into the officeearly, staying late or reducing their hours altogether.Many wind up burning the candle at both ends,leaving them exhausted and prone to caregiverstress.There's no doubt about it. Caring for a sick or dis-

abled person can be draining, emotionally, physi-cally and financially. Add to that the responsibilityof caring for a family, and it's easy to see whymanywomen suffer from caregiver stress.The problem can vary in intensity, and if left un-

treated, it can lead to a host of conditions, someshort- and some long-term.Anger, frustration, exhaustion, guilt and loneli-

ness are usually the first signs of caregiver stress,Unfortunately, most woman are too busy to recog-nize them, much less deal with them. Many beginto suffer from anxiety and depression and becomeincreasingly ill. They catch bugs easily and takelonger to recover. Many also put on weight. All ofthis can lead to the development of more serious,life-long conditions, like arthritis, cancer, diabetesand heart disease.Recognizing the presence of caregiver stress is

the first step in dealing with it. Seeking help is thesecond. Many communities offer a wide range ofresources for caregivers, from transportation andmeal delivery services to home health care andcounseling services to support groups and in-homevolunteer services.Most are available at a low cost.Gathering support from familymembers can also

be beneficial, especially with the financial aspects.Family members may be able to share the financialburdens, or at the very least, share the responsibili-ties.While one personmight be themain hands-on care-giver, another might arrange for appointments andanother for food and clothes. Classes are availableto assist families in sharing the duties of caregiv-ing, reprioritizing tasks and setting more manage-able goals.There is no shame in asking for help, whether in

the form of assistive devices or respite services.Women, and anyone for that matter, suffering fromcaregiver stress should check with their state'sagency on aging and take advantage of all the re-sources available.More importantly, they should take care of them-

selves, taking the time to exercise and eat right andsee their doctor regularly. Ill, stressed caregiverscannot provide the care needed for their loved oneor their family.

Relief For The StressedWalk To A Better YouYour time on the couch in front of the TV has come to an end, and you're ready to get fit. How you go about this

journey is up to you.You could take amartial arts class, you could take up running, you could swim at the local pool,you could enroll in a dance class or you could simply walk. That's right. Walking half an hour on most days of theweek will help you get into shape and stay healthy, and unlike some other disciplines, walking is easy and requireslittle in the way of equipment. Interested in walking your way to a better you? Read on!Before you get started, you need to take an assessment of your health. Do you have some health issues? If so, you

should make an appointment with your physician to ensure you are healthy enough to start a fitness walking pro-gram. The same goes if you are over the age of 65.Next, you need to gather the right equipment. Walking doesn't require much, just some comfortable clothes and agood pair of walking shoes. You will want shoes in good condition that fit well. You may also want to purchase awater bottle to carry with you on longer stretches. This will ensure you don't get dehydrated.You also need to consider where youwill be walking. Clearly youwill want somewhere safe, such as a nearby park,

gym or track. You can also walk in your neighborhood or on a local trail. If possible, try to find a buddy. There issafety in numbers, and having someone to walk with will keep you motivated.When you are ready to begin, go slowly. Always take the time to warm up and cool down to prevent injury. Once

you have warmed upwith some stretches, go for a brisk 10-minute walk. Do this every day for a week, and then tackon another five minutes onto your walks the next week. Continue to do this until you have built up enough strengthand stamina to go the distance desired.While you are walking, pay attention to your stature.Are you standing up straight?Are your shoulders relaxed and

your head held high? Are your abdominal muscles tight? When done right, walking can improve posture and slimthe waistline.As you build your strength and stamina, you can pick up the pace and go for longer stretches at a time. If you are

looking to shed some pounds, you will want to walk briskly for 45 to 60 minutes five days a week. Of course, keep-ing up the program could turn out to be the hardest part. Look to your walking buddy for support and just think ofhow good you'll look and feel within a few months!

seriously; they don’t thinkanyone is looking.”McBride said students

often are “so open online”but fail to remember thatposting information onlineis “wide open for everyone tosee.”“When you put it online,

it’s there to stay,” McBridesaid.McBride said officials

found the student wasupset over a recent breakupand in this instance, theyfelt the student not beingallowed to go on the out-of-state trip was a fit punish-ment.“We take the time to

question things,” he said.“Parents need to know whattheir son or daughter isdoing online.”In the second incident, a

Miami East Junior Highstudent may face expulsionand is currently serving a10-day suspension fromschool due to her threaten-ing another student onFacebook. The incident wasinvestigated by sheriff ’sofficials on Jan. 4.According to Miami

County Sheriff ’s reports,Miami East Junior HighSchool Principal AllenMack contacted officialsafter he was given a copy ofa Facebook post in whichthe female student threat-ened to kill other students.According to school officials,the post was made duringChristmas break and nodisruption was caused atthe school.According to the report, a

specific student was namedin the threat and state-ments were presented to theJuvenile Court ProsecutorRob Long.Miami East Local

Schools Superintendent Dr.

Todd Rappold said the dis-trict’s policy follows thestate policy on bullying.“The policies have

changed numerous timesover the years,” Rappoldsaid last week. “That policynow includes online postsafter school hours to protectthe safety of the students,staff and school as a whole.”Rappold said many stu-

dents “don’t see past Fridaynight.”“They don’t grasp the

concept that making thesecomments on social mediameans it’s out there perma-nently,” Rappold said.Rappold said many stu-

dents fail to acknowledgethat their actions onlinemay have severe conse-quences at school.Rappold said the school

district has hosted numer-ous conversations andmeet-ings with parents on thesubject of online posts andits role in school safety.“It’s a whole new world,”

Rappold said. “We do whatneeds to be done to ensurethat kids are safe.”Rappold said lessons

learned about the conse-

quences of online mediaposts can be carried on wellafter graduation.“What you are posting on

social media could affectthings like getting a job inthe future,” Rappold said.“Once it’s out in the world,it’s there to stay.”Rappold said while the

incident at the junior highwas the district’s first, everymatter will be investigatedand handled quickly andindividually.“If it’s threatening, we

will get the sheriff ’s depart-ment involved to get a thor-ough investigation,” Rap-pold said. “Posting some-thing on a Saturday couldbite them in the future.”Troy City Schools

Superintendent EricHerman echoed his fellowdistrict leaders.“You can’t afford not to

take everything serious,”Herman said. “If someonesays a threat at any timeand if we see anything orhear anything — we followup on it.”Herman said as a parent

himself, it is difficult to stayon top of the mass commu-

nication teens and youngchildren use with cellphones and social network-ing sites.“We’ve got to look at

everything with all thiscommunication done atlightning speed,” Hermansaid. “As a parent, you’ve gotto keep track of it as muchas you can.”Herman said in the day

and age where a picture orvideo can be sent to hun-dreds of people in a matterof minutes, parents need totalk to children about theirchoices, both at school andat home, as well as in reallife and online.“As a parent I tried my

hardest to keep track ofcommunication — it’s hardto do,” Herman said. “It’s soeasy to type out a text mes-sage in two seconds andthen it’s sent to 18 people.Kids need to realize it’s outthere forever.”For the complete policy

Threats

Information provided by National Public Radio’s State Impact:House Bill 116 requires school districts to establish cyber-bullying policies and to

annually teach teachers and inform parents about their overall bullying policies. It alsorequires them to teach students about the policies if state or federal funding is pro-vided for that purpose. It was signed into law by Gov. John Kasich on Feb. 2, 2012.

The bill was named in memory of Jessica Logan, a Cincinnati teenager who com-mitted suicide after being harassed over nude photos she sent to a former boyfriend.

State law already required school districts to have anti-bullying policies. Existinglaw defined bullying as “any intentional written, verbal, or physical act that a studenthas exhibited toward another particular student more than once and the behavior bothcauses mental or physical harm to the other student and is sufficiently severe, per-sistent, or pervasive that it creates an intimidating, threatening, or abusive educa-tional environment for the other student.” Violence within a dating relationship is alsoconsidered bullying.

HB 116 requires school districts to include bullying committed using a cell phone,computer and/or other electronic communication device in their anti-bullying policies.

Algeriamediation first onThursday, then on Satur-day.“To avoid a bloody turn

of events in response to theextreme danger of the situ-ation, the army’s specialforces launched an inter-

vention with efficiency andprofessionalism to neutral-ize the terrorist groupsthat were first trying toflee with the hostages andthen blow up the gas facili-ties,” Algeria’s InteriorMinistry said in a state-

ment about the standoff.Immediately after the

assault, French PresidentFrancois Hollande gave hisbacking to Algeria’s toughtactics, saying they were“the most adapted responseto the crisis.”

“There could be no nego-tiations” with terrorists,the French media quotedhim as saying in the cen-tral French city of Tulle.Hollande said the

hostages were “shamefullymurdered” by their captors,

and he linked the event toFrance’s military operationagainst al-Qaida-backedrebels in neighboring Mali.“If there was any need tojustify our action againstterrorism, we would havehere, again, an additional

argument,” he said.President Barack

Obama said in a statementSaturday that the U.S.stood ready to providewhatever assistance wasneeded in the wake of theattack.

AREA BRIEFS

It was only a matter of time.Not even a month after the

Sandy Hook massacre — and just acouple of weeks after the NationalRifle Association’s deluded attemptto paint everyone else as a scapegoatbesides the one thing it supports —legislation has been introduced bythe government to strike at itsfavorite innocent whipping boy.And while the bill, the Video

Games Ratings Enforcement Act,actually isn’t as blatantly unconsti-tutional as past attempts to limit thesale of violent video games, it’s stilloff target and needs plenty of work.The bill would make the

Entertainment Software RatingBoard rating on every M (Mature) orAO (Adults Only) game legally bind-ing, meaning that any retailer sell-ing or renting those games to some-one underage — under 18 for AOand 17 for M— would be open topunishment, a $5,000 fine. It wouldalso require that the ESRB rateevery single game on the marketand display the label in a “clear andconspicuous” spot on the game’s case.All of this on the heels of

President Barack Obama’s speech onWednesday where he outlined hissuggestions to curb gun violence,including him wanting the movie, TVand video game industries to “pro-

vide parents more decision-makingtools.”Which is a hilarious and pointless

suggestion considering that parentshave more tools to decide on theirchildren’s entertainment in thoserespects than they do to actuallyraise their kids in the first place.For years now, it’s been solely up

to the parents to actually use them.“The Entertainment Software

Association (ESA) sharesRepresentative Matheson’s goal ofensuring parents maintain controlover the entertainment enjoyed bytheir children,” the ESA said in astatement earlier this week, men-tioning the bill’s author, representa-tive Jim Matheson (R-Utah). “That iswhy we work with retailers andstakeholders to raise awarenessabout the proven (ESRB) system, the

parental controls available on everyvideo game console, and the impor-tance of parents monitoring whatgames their children play.“However, this type of legislation

was already ruled unconstitutionaland is a flawed approach.Empowering parents, not enactingunconstitutional legislation, is thebest way to control the games chil-dren play.”The proper route to take certainly

isn’t threatening retailers with fines— especially when they all alreadyhave policies in place not to sell age-inappropriate games to children, andhave for years.Maybe what needs to happen

now is punishing the parents them-selves for not doing their job: payingattention and getting informed.Make every sale of an M-rated

game come with a release form forthe buyer to sign stating that thepurchase is not intended for anunderage child, nor will the adultplay the game with children present.Failure to abide by the terms of therelease results in the same fine thatthe retailer would have been forcedto pay.Maybe that’ll wake the slackers

up.Here’s the thing. Older, out-of-

touch people still hold to the miscon-

ception that all video games areintended for children. They stillthink that only little kids play them.This couldn’t be farther from thetruth. According to the ESA, theaverage gamer is 30 years old (I’m36) and has been playing videogames for 14 years of their life (28here). And with adults buying andplaying so many games, they natu-rally want content designed specifi-cally for their maturity level.Children should absolutely not be

playing most of our games. Butmature games — and the peoplewho play them— should not be pun-ished just because children exist andtheir parents still refuse to payattention to the vast amount of infor-mation at their disposal, so much sothat they actually have to go out oftheir way to ignore it anymore.And as for the insinuation that

violent video games, movies and TVsomehow are responsible for thesemass shootings?That joke hasn’t been funny for

years.And it’s gotten even less funny

after hearing it for the 1,000th time.But it was only a matter of time

before someone was dumb enough torepeat it.

Violent games still a favorite scapegoat

The Seattle Times on the FTC’s Google investigation:Anyone feeling déjà vu over the Federal Trade Commission’s

Google investigation? A company with a dominant technology plat-form, in this case, search, was accused of exploiting its position tosquash competitors.In the 1990s, Microsoft was investigated for using its monopoly

with Windows to expand its Web browser business. The ensuingtrial and consent decree forced the company to change its ways.Recently, the FTC announced a toothless settlement with Google

after investigating allegations of anti-competitive practices insearch and patents.Competitors said Google promoted advertisers’ search results

over the organic results in the middle of the page, which usersexpect to display the most commonly clicked websites. Google has aclear competitive advantage with 67 percent of search traffic, whichalso means it can set the rules for online advertisers.The FTC for the most part ignored the complaints of search bias

in its settlement. It failed to judge Google by the same standards inMicrosoft’s antitrust case.What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.The unequal application of antitrust law undermines the confi-

dence of innovators and investors. Most important, consumers havebeen denied access to a fair marketplace for the most competitivebusinesses and services via Google’s search engine. …The U.S. Department of Justice should launch an investigation

into Google, as it did with Microsoft in the 1990s.Antitrust law must be applied equally and fairly to protect the

public.Arab News, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia,on Afghan-Taliban negotiations:

Winter is not a good time to fight in Afghanistan. Each winterNATO forces have tried to kid themselves that the dieback inTaliban attacks represents the imminent collapse of the insurgency.However, with the melting of the snows each spring, the Talibanhave proved them ever more wrong.Nevertheless, something important and new seems to be hap-

pening, as the Afghan conflict goes into semi-hibernation, for theworst of the winter weather.Despite the illness and imminent retirement of their chief,

Hillary Clinton, State Department officials have been deeplyinvolved, no doubt with their CIA opposite numbers, in little publi-cized talks in both Pakistan and Afghanistan. What they seem tobe talking about is peace.Recently, eight senior Afghan Taliban members were released by

Pakistan, with the full approval of the Afghan government and theUnited States and its NATO allies. Among the freed were two for-mer ministers in the ousted Taliban government and, some haveargued, a far more significant figure, in the shape of the formerbodyguard of the elusive Taliban leader, Mullah Mohammed Omar.The line being put out by Washington, albeit unofficially, is that

the Talibs have recognized that they cannot win the ground warand are therefore prepared to negotiate. This does not entirely com-pute. …The administration of president Hamid Karzai, who must under

the constitution leave office when new elections are held in 2014,has in the view of some NATO diplomats, demonstrated itself to berotten to the core… By many assessments, once the NATO firepow-er has gone, Taliban insurgents will be pushing at an open door, intheir drive to seize Kabul and other major cities and return topower.That being the probable case, why should the Taliban be seeking

to negotiate, to bargain the release of their leaders, in return forsome assurances that are not yet clear?Could it really be that the Taliban, whatever the contrary views

of their erstwhile Al-Qaeda allies, actually do see that Afghanistanhas had enough of pain and misery, death and destruction initiatedby the Russian invasion 34 years ago?

ESTHER B. LANGSTON

ST. LOUIS (AP) — StanMusial, the St. LouisCardinals star with thecorkscrew stance and toomany batting records to fiton his Hall of Fame plaque,died Saturday. He was 92.Stan the Man was so

revered in St. Louis thattwo statues in his honorstand outside BuschStadium one just wouldn’tdo him justice. He was oneof baseball’s greatest hit-ters, every bit the equal ofTed Williams and JoeDiMaggio even without thebright lights of the big city.Musial won seven

National League battingtitles, was a three-timeMVP and helped theCardinals capture threeWorld Series champi-onships in the 1940s.The Cardinals

announced Musial’s death

in a news release. They saidhe died Saturday evening athis home in Ladue, a St.Louis suburb, surroundedby his family. The team saidMusial’s son-in-law, DaveEdmonds, informed the clubof Musial’s death.“I never heard anybody

say a bad word about him,ever,” Willie Mays said in astatement released by theHall of Fame.Earlier on Saturday,

baseball lost another Hall ofFamer when longtimeBaltimore Orioles managerEarl Weaver died at age 82.Musial spent his entire

22-year career with theCardinals and made the All-Star team 24 times — base-ball held two All-Star gameseach summer for a few sea-sons. He was the longest-tenured living Hall ofFamer.

And while it worked for ahalf, Miami East’s Angie Mackchanged things early in the sec-ond.

Mack broke up the RedDevils’ slow-down offense with asteal on the perimeter that shecashed in for a three-point play,then she capped off two moreconsecutive steals with a layupand another three-point play,scoring the first eight points of a12-0 run to start the third quar-ter — and the Vikings were offto the races from there, runningaway with a 67-48 victory in thebitter inter-county rivalrySaturday at Pat WamplerGymnasium.

Troy’s run-and-jump presstook Piqua out of its offense theentire game Saturday afternoonat the Troy Activities Center.

And the Trojans were able tocash in on Piqua turnovers in thesecond half in a 50-22 win astwo-time defending divisionchampion Troy completed thefirst half of Greater WesternOhio Conference North Divisionplay with a perfect 5-0 mark andPiqua dropped to 2-3 in the con-ference.

Troy’s defense was just asdominant in the first half — forc-ing 16 turnovers in the opening

two quarters — but because ofan ice-cold 1 for 15 shootingeffort in the second quarter, theTrojans’ 16-6 first-quarter leadwas only an 18-11 advantage atthe half.

“That was our plan going in(the full-court pressure),” Troycoach Nathan Kopp said. “Weactually forced just as manyturnovers in the first half (as inthe second). But we were able toconvert on them in the secondhalf. One of the things I told thegirls at halftime was we wereworking way too hard on defenseto only be up 18-11.We just went

That was because Ahrens hadCameron Johnson and a fewother Red Devil defenders in hisface for 32 minutes.

was not surprised by Troy’sstrategy — just disappoint-ed with his team’s lack ofexecution. “It was disheart-ening that we prepared fortheir pressure and run andjump, yet we still just stoodand watched our teammateget trapped,” Hoke said.“For the most part, weplayed very scared.”And while Troy scored

just two points in the sec-ond quarter, Piqua couldonly manage five and stilltrailed by seven at thebreak.“We were fortunate to

be down seven at halftime,”Hoke said. “We had achance to cut it to five, andthen give up three straightoffensive rebounds, and itjust unraveled from there.”The Trojans wasted no

from seven or eight to 15pretty quickly,” Kopp said.“That can happen whenyou are shooting layups(off turnovers).”Piqua could never make

any run in the second half,matching their first-halftotal of 11 points.“We folded under their

pressure,” Hoke said. ” Ijust felt like from the start,we were not into it mental-ly. Then everyone becamefrustrated, and we lost ourcomposure.”Mackenzie Schulz led

Thomas doesn’t get shot to tie, Buckeyes fallEAST LANSING, Mich.

(AP) — Deshaun Thomaswas stopped only by a team-mate.Ohio State’s star didn’t

get the ball with a chance tomake an overtime-forcing 3-pointer as No. 18 MichiganState beat the 11th-rankedBuckeyes 59-56 Saturdaynight.Thomas was upset when

Shannon Scott passed up anopportunity to get him theball and hit the side of the

backboard on an off-balanceshot with just under 4 sec-onds left.“I was knocking down

shots all night,” he said.Thomas, who had 28

points, was so good he madeTom Izzo want to do some-thing the Spartans’ coachsaid he has “never” done.If Thomas got the ball in

the closing seconds, Izzowanted his team to foul him.Scott, though, didn’t give

Thomas one more shot.

“I was relieved,” Izzoacknowledged.Keith Appling scored 15

points, including two freethrows with 7.9 seconds left,and Adreian Payne added14 as part of a relatively bal-anced offense against a one-man show.Thomas, who had his

highest-scoring game in BigTen play, was 10 of 20 over-all, made 6 of 11 3-pointersand connected on his twofree throws.

Ohio State coach ThadMatta called a timeout afterAppling’s lead-padding freethrows and anticipatedMichigan State fouling toprevent a 3-point attempt.When the hack didn’t

come, Scott seemed to besurprised and hurried ashot.“Michigan State knew

we were going to go to(Thomas),” Matta said. “Wewould’ve liked to have got itto him there.”

Scott probably wished hehad passed the ball, too, ashid his face under his jersey.“You could see that he

put his head down,”Thomassaid.The Spartans (16-3, 5-1

Big Ten) are on their way upin the conference standings,winning five straight confer-ence games. MichiganState’s Branden Dawsonscored nine points andgrabbed 10 rebounds andGary Harris and Derrick

Nix each added eight points.Ohio State (13-4, 3-2)

was playing for the firsttime since handingMichigan its only loss lastSunday.The Buckeyes’ second-

leading scorer against theSpartans was LenzelleSmith Jr., who had sixpoints on 2-of-7 shooting.Aaron Craft, who was 2 of 8from the field, was one ofthree Buckeyes with fivepoints.

Devilswin and avoid a second lossin as many nights.The loss snaps a four-

game winning streak forTippecanoe (11-3)“I told them after the

game that I thought thisweekend, from a defensivestandpoint, we took stepsforward,” Tippecanoe coachMarcus Bixler said. “Wedefended really, really well(Friday) night.The first halftonight we were just really,really good defensively— asgood as we’ve been. Ithought our attention todetail on the defensive endwas great. It put us in posi-tion coming into the thirdquarter to win that game.”Tippecanoe led by as

many as eight in the earlystages of the third quarter,but Versailles ended thequarter on a 17-4 run toclaim a 31-26 lead goinginto final period. Then inthe fourth, Ahrens scoredsix straight to put theTigers up 40-31. Tipp nevergot within striking distanceafter that point.All told, though, Ahrens

had to work for nearlyeverything he got. He went3 for 11 from the field on thenight, with his only bucketscoming on a dunk in transi-tion in the first quarter, alayup in the third quarterand an offensive reboundand stickback in the fourth.He did, however, go 8 for 10at the foul line — including4 for 4 in the final quarter— and finish the game with14 points, which is wellbelow his season average.“We got him frustrated,”

Bixler said.“I thought in thefirst half we got them out ofa lot of things they were try-ing to do. Cam did a greatjob of getting him frustrat-ed. We shoved the offenseout with the ball in hishands. You can’t do it withone guy. Everybody else wasthere to help. We knew itwas going to take five guysto do it.”The Tipp defense had

Versailles flustered most ofthe night. On their firstthree possessions, theTigers had two turnoversand a charge, promptinghead coach ScottMcEldowney to take a time-out two minutes in. Finally,Nick Campbell’s 3-pointerbroke three minutes ofscoreless basketball to openthe game.

Following that,Tippecanoe’s Nick Fischerand Cameron Johnson hitback-to-back triples to givethe Devils a 6-3 lead. Thatlead vanished by the end asthe Ahrens dunk gave theTigers a 7-6 advantage bythe end.The second quarter had

six lead changes in total.Tipp was able to take athree-point cushion into thelocker room thanks to a nicepass and bucket fromFischer to Michael Donaheyjust before time expired.Versailles totaled nine

turnovers in the first half,while Ahrens was 1 for 5from the field with an air-ball and a shot that hit thebackboard without drawingiron.Fischer scored five

straight points to open playin the third, giving the RedDevils a 22-14 lead. Fromthat moment on, though,Versailles took over.“I thought two or three

minutes into that thirdquarter, they just physicallyimposed their will,” Bixlersaid. “They put their headsdown and started getting tothe rim. We did a great jobin the first half of protectingeight feet away, and thatwas our motto all week. Wehave to rebound the basket-ball, we have to keep themaway from the rim — andwe didn’t do that in thethird quarter.”Damien Richard was

second for theTigers in scor-ing with 13 and NickCampbell added eight.Versailles, the No. 6-rankedteam in Division III,improved to 10-2.Fischer led Tippecanoe

with 12 points, while SeanFord added seven. The RedDevils play at Indian Lakeon Tuesday.

Tipp-East

overtime in last year’s 69-65 Viking win over the RedDevils — decided to crankthe tempo up in the third.With Tippecanoe contentto pass the ball back andforth at the top of the key,Mack stepped in between,finished, drew a foul andconverted the free throw.It was the beginning of

the end for the Devils (9-8).“That steal sparked us,”

Miami East coach PrestonElifritz said. “Angie playeda phenomenal second half,and she got us going upand down the floor. Andwhen the girls get up andrunning, it’s a fun brand ofbasketball to watch.”Tippecanoe turned the

ball over on its first threepossessions of the secondhalf, and Mack finished allthree off. On the thirdlayup, two Tippecanoedefenders tried to sand-wich her as she went by toslow her down, but shebroke through at break-neck speed, got the fouland somehow was able tothe shot to go, as well.Mack then dished out

assists to Abby Cash onback-to-back possessions,and an Ashley Currentputback made the score38-25 in practically theblink of an eye.“Against a team like

that, every mistake youmake is magnified,”Tippecanoe coach AaronJackson said. “And wemade some mistakes. Ourplan was to press thembecause they’re better inthe half-court than we are,but when they handled ourpressure … we just don’thave much of an answerfor 6-foot, 6-1.“Once we got down by

10, we had to start gam-bling more. And they madeus pay. They’ve got someathleticism with that size.”Mack finished with a

game-high 17 points — 13of those coming in the sec-ond half. Cash added 14points, six rebounds andfour assists, with 10 ofthose points coming in thesecond half, and MadisonLinn added six second-halfassists as the Vikingsoutscored the Devils 41-23after the break — 18-4 inthe third quarter alone.“With the gameplan

they had of slowing usdown offensively … itworked. We only had 24possessions in the first halfas opposed to 35 or 40 likewe usually do,” Elifritzsaid. “(Assistant) coach(Kelly) Cash said at half-time that we needed tolimit them to one shot, getthe rebound and transition— and that’s what we did.”

Leah Dunivan added 12points, Ashley Current had12 points, seven reboundsand four assists and TrinaCurrent had eight points,eight rebounds and twoassists.“We’ve been harping on

Leah to be more aggressiveon offense,” Elifritz said.“She’s such a presence ondefense, but for us to besuccessful, she needs totake on that aggressiverole offensively. Madisondoes a phenomenal job ofbeing a distributor, her andAbby both do. Whenthey’re not scoring, they’regetting the ball to someoneelse who does.

“Aggression just definedour second half today.”Tippecanoe’s veteran

leaders, Erica Comer andHalee Printz, kept theDevils in the game early.Comer — who finishedwith a team-high 15points, four rebounds andthree assists — scored 11of her points in the firsthalf. And Comer’s in-bounds pass to Printz, whofinished with 13 points,five rebounds and threeassists and beat the first-half buzzer with a jumperfading away from theVikings’ bigs inside, cutthe lead to one at the half.But once Miami East

went on its 12-0 run in thethird, the Devils never gotwithin single digits again.“I told Erica and Halee

that today was going tocome down to you twoplaying well — and theydid,” Jackson said. “ButMiami East is one of thebest teams in the state inDivision III, and they justshowed why.”The Vikings also held

Tippecanoe’s freshmansensation Carly Clodfelter,who came in averaging10.6 points per game, to sixpoints — five of whichcame in the fourth quarter.Cassie Gingerich added sixpoints, and McKensieLogan scored all four of theDevils’ third-quarterpoints on a pair of put-backs.The Miami East win

marked its second straightover Tippecanoe after athree-game run by theDevils. Since the 2007-08season, the series is nowtied 3-3.Tippecanoe travels to

Urbana Wednesday, whilethe Vikings host NationalTrail Thursday.

Te’o provides answers, but more questions may be askedNEW YORK (AP) —

Manti Te’o tried to put one ofthe strangest sports storiesin memory behind him,insisting he was the target ofan elaborate online hoax inwhich he fell for a fakewoman created bypranksters, then admittinghis own liesmade the bizarreordeal worse.Whether his off-camera

interview with ESPN wasenough to demonstrate thatthe Notre Dame star line-backer was a victim in thescheme instead of a partici-pant is still an open question.The most important

judges of the All-Americanand Heisman Trophy finalistmay be pro football teams.

Te’o has finished his course-work at Notre Dame and ispreparing for the NFL draftat an elite training facility inFlorida, where the 2½-hourinterview was conducted lateFriday night.ESPN reporter Jeremy

Schaap said that the 21-year-oldTe’o answered all hisquestions in a calm voice,and tried to clear up themys-teries and inconsistencies ofthe case.Among the highlights:— Te’o denied being in on

the hoax. “No. Never,” hesaid. “I wasn’t faking it. Iwasn’t part of this.”— Te’o provided a time-

line and details of his rela-tionship with LennayKekua,

his virtual sweetheart, whowent through an array ofmedical calamities before“dying” of Leukemia inSeptember, just hours afterTe’o got real news of hisgrandmother’s death.— He acknowledged that

he lied to his father aboutmeeting Kekua in person,then exacerbated the situa-tion after her supposed deathwhen he “tailored” his com-ments to reporters to make itsound as if their relationshipwas more than just phonecalls and electronic mes-sages.“I even knew, that it was

crazy that I was with some-body that I didn’t meet, andthat alone — people find out

that this girl who died, I wasso invested in, I didn’t meether, as well,” Te’o said. “So Ikind of tailored my stories tohave people think that, yeah,he met her before she passedaway, so that people wouldn’tthink that I was some crazydude.” In the same part ofthe conversation, Te’o said:“Out of this whole thing, thatis my biggest regret. Andthat is the biggest, I think,that’s from my point of view,that is a mistake I made.”—He detailed the confus-

ing phone conversation hehad on Dec. 6, when thewoman who was posing asKekua contacted him andtold him one last hard-to-believe story about how she

had to fake her own death toevade drug dealers. Te’o saidit left him piecing togetherwhat exactly was going onover the next few days, whenhe was bouncing from inter-view to interview while tak-ing part in the HeismanTrophy ceremony in NewYork on Dec. 8 and anotherawards dinner in LosAngeles the next night. Hementioned his girlfriend ininterviews at least threetimes over that period.— Even after he went to

his parents, coaches andNotre Dame officials withthe story by Dec. 26, and theschool provided an investiga-tion that it says corroboratedTe’o’s version by Jan. 4, the

player told ESPN that it wasnot until RonaiahTuiasosopo, a 22-year-oldacquaintance who lives inCalifornia, contacted himWednesday and confessed tothe prank, that he finallybelieved Kekua was not real.Schaap said thatTe’o showedhim direct messages fromTwitter in which Tuiasosopoadmitted to mastermindingthe hoax and apologized.Schaap remarked to Te’o

earlier in the interview thathe still talked about Lennayas if she existed.“Well, in my mind I still

don’t have answers,” Te’oreplied. “I’m still wonderingwhat’s going on, what hap-pened.”

TODAY IN HISTORY

(AP) — Today is Sunday, Jan.20, the 20th day of 2013. Thereare 345 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight:On Jan. 20, 1953, Dwight D.

Eisenhower took the oath ofoffice as president of the UnitedStates; Richard M. Nixon wassworn in as vice president.

On this date:In 1887, the U.S. Senate

approved an agreement to leasePearl Harbor in Hawaii as anaval base.

In 1942, Nazi officials held

the notorious Wannsee confer-ence, during which they arrivedat their “final solution” that calledfor exterminating Jews.

In 1981, Iran released 52Americans it had held hostagefor 444 days, minutes after thepresidency had passed fromJimmy Carter to RonaldReagan.

In 1986, the United Statesobserved the first federal holidayin honor of slain civil rightsleader Martin Luther King Jr.

Ten years ago: Secretary of

State Colin Powell, faced withstiff resistance and calls for cau-tion, bluntly told the SecurityCouncil that the U.N. “must notshrink” from its responsibility todisarm Saddam Hussein’s Iraq.

Five years ago: The LosAngeles Times announced itstop editor, James O’Shea, hadbeen fired after he rejected amanagement order to cut $4million from the newsroombudget, 14 months after hispredecessor was also ousted ina budget dispute.

WASHINGTON (AP) —On the brink of a secondterm, President BarackObama invoked MartinLuther King Jr.’s commit-ment to service Saturday asinauguration-goers flockedto the capital city for a dis-tinctly American celebra-tion including an oath-tak-ing as old as the republic, asplashy parade and party-ing enough to last fouryears.

“I think we’re on thecusp of some really greatthings,” Vice President JoeBiden predicted for a coun-try still recovering from adeep recession.

Freshly built inauguralstands at the Capitolgleamed white in the sun,and hundreds of chairs forspecial guests were set outon the lawn that spills downtoward the National Mall asthe president and vice pres-ident began their inaugura-tion weekend.

Julius Cherry, in townfrom Sacramento, Calif.,brought his family to thefoot of the Capitol to see thearea where their officialtickets will let them watchthe public ceremonies onMonday.

“There were people whosaid they’d never vote for anAfrican-American presi-dent,” the 58-year-old

lawyer said. “Now they’vevoted for him twice, and hewon the popular vote andthe electoral vote. That sayssomething about his poli-cies and his team.”

“And the country,” addedCherry’s wife, Donna.

Said Erika Goergen,from the Midwest andattending college locally:“It’s amazing to be hereright now.”

Officials estimated that

as many as 800,000 peoplewill attend Monday’s publicceremonies. That’s morethan live in the city, if farfewer than the 1.8 millionwho were at Obama’s firstinauguration in 2009.

The president made onlya glancing reference to raceas he spoke at an elemen-tary school not far from theWhite House after he andfirst lady Michelle Obamastained a bookcase as part

of a national service eventorganized by the inauguralcommittee.

“We think about not somuch the inauguration, butwe think about this is Dr.King’s birthday we’re goingto be celebrating this week-end,” the president said.

“He said everybodywants to be first, everybodywants to be a drum major.But if you’re going to be adrum major, be a drum

major for service, be a drummajor for justice, be a drummajor for looking out forother people,” Obama saidof the civil rights leaderwhose birthday is celebrat-ed as a national holiday onMonday.

Because the date forinauguration set in theConstitution, Jan. 20, fallson a Sunday this year,Obama and Biden were tobe sworn in for secondterms in separate, privateceremonies on Sunday.

The public ceremoniesare set for Monday, whenObama will take the oath ofoffice at noon, then deliveran inaugural address beforea large crowd and a nation-al television audience in themillions.

The traditional lunchwith lawmakers in theCapitol follows, and theinaugural parade downPennsylvania Avenuetoward the White House.There, a reviewing standwas adorned with the presi-dential seal and equippedwith seats enough forObama and other digni-taries to watch in relativecomfort as military units,marching bands, floats andthousands of participantsgo past. A pair of inaugura-tion balls will cap the day,including one with a guest

list that runs to 40,000names.

A select few those whodonated as much as $1 mil-lion to defray inaugurationexpenses received specialaccess to public as well asinvitation-only receptionsand parties.

The second term beginsin circumstances differentin many ways from thefirst, but familiar in oth-ers.

The economy, then inthe grip of a fierce anddeepening recession, isnow recovering slowly asunemployment recedesand stocks flirt with five-year highs. The health carelegislation that Obamaurged Congress to enact inhis first inaugural addressis the law of the land, cour-tesy of a split ruling by theSupreme Court.

Al-Qaida leader Osamabin Laden is dead at thehands of U.S. special opera-tions forces. But the organ-ization he inspired is farfrom moribund, as demon-strated by the just-endedkidnapping episodeSaturday at an Algeriannatural gas complex that,according to the Algeriangovernment, left at least23 hostages dead. The U.S.on Friday acknowledgedone American death.

Obama cites commitment to service

Department of Housingand Urban Development,Ohio ranked fourth in pop-ulation increases for home-lessness in 2012 with atotal number of 13,997, up7.3 percent from 2011.

HUD first introducedthe Continuum of Care con-cept, according to its officialwebsite. HUD details thatthe point-in-time count is aone-night count of each con-tinuum’s sheltered andunsheltered homeless pop-ulations, more than 3,000across the nation. Theseone-night “snapshot”counts are then reported to

HUD as part of state andlocal grant applications.

On its website, HUDnotes that while the datareported to HUD does notdirectly determine the levelof a community’s grantfunding, these estimates, aswell as full-year counts, arecrucial in understandingthe scope of homelessnessand measuring progress inreducing it.

With this in mind,Holman said that thegroup’s latest count of thehomeless, happening Jan.22, will be more significantthan ever before becausethe final numbers will havea strong influence on how

much housing funding thecounty will be able toreceive from HUD, whichreports the data toCongress.

Funding is not onlybased on the preparation ofapplications, statistics andrecord keeping, but it alsodepends on the county’ssuccess rate at getting fam-ilies back on their feet.

“If we say we’re going tohelp 24 families and wehelp 30, but 26 of themwere failures, meaningthey were homeless again,that’s not really a good out-come even though wereached our number,”FASMC’s fiscal manager

Fawnda Cress said.Statistics show the

count has produced results.From Sept. 1, 2009, to Feb.20, 2012, Continuum ofCare assisted 249 house-holds and provided $77,930in homeless prevention and$66,569 in re-housing,according to Holman.

Both Holman and secre-tary Karen Dickey, whoalso is the executive direc-tor of the Mental HealthCoalition, believe this cen-sus will make more andmore people aware of thisproblem and direct thegroup toward eliminatingthe size of the homelesspopulation in Miami

County. The forms ask forparticipants’ gender, age,subpopulation (individual,family, veteran, mentallyill, substance abuse,HIV/AIDS, domestic vio-lence, disability), race,description of their house-hold, ethnicity and locationwhere the person is living.It asks how long the personhas been homeless and ifthey have received anyhelp in the past, such asfood stamps, food bank,emergency shelter, pre-scription assistance, coun-seling, etc.

“We want to have data,and we want to know whatthe correct trends are,”

Holman said. “We want toknow what the characteris-tics of our people are.”

Two groups theContinuum of Care will beconcerned about this yearare those in the 18-24 agegroup who have grown upin a poor family, and mili-tary veterans who havelimited housing options.

With three data collec-tion forms handy to countthe sheltered homeless,unsheltered homeless andthose at-risk of beinghomeless, Dickey is confi-dent of this year’s count.

“We’re going to get areally good count this year,”Dickey said.

Shannon Hyland-Tassava tries to run up to25 miles a week, year-round. It’s harder in win-ter — icy sidewalks,snowy trails — but she’sdetermined. As a suffererof seasonal mood prob-lems, Hyland-Tassavaruns for her emotional aswell as physical health.“Starting a few years

ago, I just really startedfeeling the classic thingsyou always hear aboutwhen it came to seasonalmood changes: more tired,more lethargic, more irri-table, less motivated to beactive and go out and do,”

said Hyland-Tassava, 41,of Northfield, Minn. “In

the spring and summer, Itypically felt fantastic.”

A couple of years ago,on the advice of her nurse-practitioner, she startedusing a broad-spectrumlight box and found ithelpful. Running is herother important therapy.“I get such benefit,

mentally, from runningoutdoors,” said Hyland-Tassava, a psychologistand the author of “TheEssential Stay-at-HomeMom Manual” (BooktropeEditions, 2011). Hyland-Tassava works as a lifecoach (www.shannontas-sava.com) and often rec-ommends outdoor activityfor her clients. “I firmlybelieve in the power ofexercise to affect moodpositively and there’s very

strong research to supportit.”Research suggests that

exercise can be as effec-tive as medication in com-bating depression — andcomes with positive sideeffects instead of negativeones, said Beth Lewis, aUniversity of Minnesotapsychologist who studiesexercise psychology. Eventhe mildly melancholiccan share in this prescrip-tion-free mood booster.How much exercise? No

need to train for amarathon: Even 150 min-utes a week of moderate-intensity activity (e.g.,walking the dog) can pro-vide “significant healthbenefits,” Lewis said. Butstudies show that only asmall percentage ofAmericans do even thatmuch.If you haven’t been

active for a while, startsmall, Lewis suggested:“Getting out of the housefor 10 minutes is some-thing.” Since SAD (sea-sonal affective disorder)and winter blues arelinked to loss of sunlight,logic suggests that mid-day outdoor exercisewould be especially bene-ficial, although indoorexercise helps, too.Looking ahead to

future winters, those whosuffer from seasonal mood

problems are better offforming an exercise habitlong before the symptomskick in, Lewis said.“Prevention is always bet-ter than treatment.”Once depression has

you in its clutches, it has away of holding you fast tothe couch. Dr. Scott Crow,a psychiatry professor atthe University ofMinnesota who hasfocused on mood disor-ders, said, “If you’re stuckenough, exercise is hard.”Years ago, Dawn

Carlson of Minneapolissuffered from seasonalaffective disorder sosevere that a couple oftimes it didn’t even fadein the spring, lingeringinstead and turning intoregular clinical depres-sion. But a couple ofdecades ago, she startedmanaging the wintertimebouts with a low dose ofProzac and a light box. Inrecent years, as she hasbecome more physicallyactive — weight-training,horseback-riding and “asmidge of cardio” — shefinds she no longer needsthe light box, though shekeeps it on hand just incase.Does she actually enjoy

winter now?“No,” Carlson said,

after a pause — “but Idon’t dread it.”

The food police are foreverwarning to think twice beforechoosing a fast-food breakfast.And I know of at least oneCooper’s hawk that would doubt-less agree.I’d been poking around a cer-

tain sprawling patch of mixedwoods and old fields since sunup— hoping to get in some exerciseand visit a few back-in cornersbefore the temperature roseenough to turn the few pathsand game trails to mud.Muddy or not, it wasn’t easy

going. The frosty leaves on thehillsides were slippery, and lastseason’s bumper crop of weeds— while thinned some by whatbit of real winter we’ve so farexperienced — were still snarledinto such dense tangles as toprove nearly impenetrable.Not to mention I’m rather out

of shape.When my back began hurting

I found a comfortable seat on anold beech log situated atop afairly open knoll. The spotoffered a good view of the mead-ow below. I propped my walkingstick nearby, cradled my camerain my lap, and settled back for arest.The Cooper’s hawk simply

appeared like a jet-propelledwraith 20 minutes later, zoomingacross the knoll’s flat top frommy right. A few yards in front ofme, the mixed flock of finchesand sparrows I’d been watchingwork through the nearby brushsimply exploded — as if agrenade had been dropped intotheir midst.At the cottage, I often see

Cooper’s and sharp-shinnedhawks use exactly the same sur-

prise tactic when hunting birdsthat congregate around the feed-ers. Better than half the timeone of the intended victimsmakes a miscue — flies too late,heads the wrong way, and thehawk locks on like a heat-seek-ing missile.It can be all over in a couple

of wingbeats — or turn into alife-and-death pursuit that con-tinues until the target zigs whenit should have zagged, or theastonishingly swift raptor sim-ply flies it down and snatchesthe desperate sprinter midair.Escape is difficult once a hungryhawk has you in its sights.The exceptions usually come

about one of two ways — eitherthrough sheer numbers or light-ening-quick evasive actions. Acouple dozen birds all tearing offevery which-a-way at the sameinstant sometimes confuses theirwould-be assassin — at least solong as nobody bumps into any-one and momentarily slows. Butreaction to the hawk’s appear-ance has to be instantaneous;hesitation marks the loser.Fortunately, this was one of

those times when sudden scat-

tering worked.As the small birds blasted

away in a dozen directions, theCooper’s hawk flared, flappedonce, twisted in flight andchanged directions, gave a cou-ple more strong wingpumps,turned again — then seemed tohold in midair, flummoxed,unable to lock onto a specific tar-get.At that point the outmaneu-

vered hawk simply dropped to

the ground where it hopped upand down several times — exact-ly like a frustrated kinder-gartener acting out in a fit ofanger — before flying up toperch atop the limb of a recentlytoppled evergreen. The angrybird begin swiveling its headthis way and that, glaring men-acingly all around.I had to chuckle at the

hawk’s obvious pique — thoughI understood how a hungry

hunter might become exasperat-ed when breakfast doesn’t go asplanned and you’re unexpected-ly forced to regroup before look-ing elsewhere for your meal.Of course the real indignity

came a minute or so later whenthe Cooper’s heard the soft clickof the shutter release as Isnapped his portrait. Heinstantly turned his piercinggaze my way — and received ashock to his already frayednerves.Disbelief can be comical. It

took that beleaguered hawk atleast five seconds of high andlow double-takes to recognizethe mottled lump on the end ofthe beech log 40 feet away as —gasp! — a camo-jacketed mem-ber of the paparazzi.This latest humiliation so rat-

tled the Cooper’s that formoment, it did nothing but stare— as if distrusting its own keeneyesight — before leaping off thespringy branch, flapping furious-ly, and fled ignominiously overthe brow of the knoll.Talk about a day getting off

to bad start!First the Cooper’s hawk’s

fast-food meal turns out to betoo fast for his best supersonicdeath-swoop. Then he practicallyperches in the lap of somesneaky guy who not only scaredthe bejesus out of him, but a fel-low who, having witnessed theentire breakfast-snatching deba-cle, then had the effrontery tobushwhack him photographical-ly.Can’t a poor Cooper’s hawk

get a break!Some mornings it just doesn’t

pay to leave the roost.

to use a building acrossthe street for newlyformed art classes, whichhave been widely received,he said. The classes are

taught by the Art Houseat Lincoln ExecutiveDirector Suzanne Allyalong with her husbandHarry, a retired universityart professor.“We had talked last

year about providing anart program for underpriv-ileged kids. Besides the 30minutes in school, notused to expressing them-selves or elaborating ontheir work,” Carter said.The courses are intend-

right now,” Carter said. “Wehave a lot of good talentand a lot of really good kidand parental involvement.”Lincoln Center also offers

after-school tutoring forchildren from third gradethrough high school, withsign-ups being accepted fornext year. The tutoring pro-gram is intended to helpdisadvantaged children notonly succeed in school, butalso start preparing for col-lege early.“With the demographics

center is a community-wideeffort.“This is all made possi-

ble not only through myleadership, but also withthe city of Troy, TroyUnited Way, the TroyFoundation, Hobart andthe mayor (MichaelBeamish),” Carter said.

“Not only are they invest-ing in the community, butalso providing hope for agroup of people that with-out the center might strug-gle with childhood obesityor lack of education sup-port. It’s really complexwhat we do.”Regular hours for

SCHOOL MENUS

BY BLAIR ANTHONYROBERTSONSacramento Bee

It’s that time of year.The nights are long, themornings are chilly, andrain-soaked days test ourresolve. Maybe you’re snif-fling and sneezing, cough-ing and clammy and readyto be done with your all-too-common cold.Wouldn’t it be nice if

you could have a bowl ofsoup, a cup of tea or a boxof chocolates and make itall go away?OK, so maybe the sci-

ence is shaky on this one,but that nourishing bowlof chicken noodle soup ortender, chewy ramenswimming in spicy-hotbroth just might make youfeel better while yoursymptoms run theircourse.Nate Simon, a physi-

cian, is both a man of sci-ence and a devout foodie,but on this topic he is a bitof a party pooper.Asked if he has a go-to

restaurant dish or two tohelp with his cold symp-toms, Simon, an anesthe-siologist, was prepared:“The science is not goodenough to pinpoint specificfoods.”He pulled out all kinds

of facts and studies.“There’s no silver bullet,”he continued. “A lot of thecures or remedies areanecdotal.”Simon, who lives in

Sacramento, Calif., saysmost colds are “self-limit-ed,” meaning they’re goingto swoop in, inflict damageupon your nose and throatand then vacate the prem-ises in a matter of days.“You could say, ‘I ate

this food and felt better.’But you could also say, ‘Iwore green socks and feltbetter,’ ” he said.

Still, the doctor advisesthat it’s perfectly OK togravitate toward comfortfoods when you’re ailing.They’re nourishing, theyprobably inspire pleasantmemories, and, more thanlikely, these foods havehealthy ingredients.“For some reason, I

really like Korean andJapanese food” when ail-ing, he said. “Warm ricedishes and soups.”At Harry’s CafÈ in

Sacramento, there’s a soupso good it practicallycomes with a guarantee.Harry’s “cold or flu” chick-en vegetable soup seemsto fix everything but yourtax problems. He uses gin-ger, pepper and dry herbsto give the broth a kick ofheat.“I made that soup for

myself before I evenopened the restaurant,”

said owner Harry Luong.“It works for me. When Ihave a cold, I want some-thing to make me sweatyand make me feel better.That’s why I wanted it alittle spicy.”If you’re going to

indulge in wishful think-ing, why settle for a sugar-pill placebo when youcould have a seductivelysimple square made of bit-tersweet chocolateganache from Venezuelaor a chewy caramelinfused with Frenchlavender and sprinkledwith a pinch of fleur desel? Dark chocolate hasantioxidants. That muchwe know.“Chocolate makes you

feel better mentally,” saidGinger Elizabeth Hahn, aformally trained chocolati-er. “Polyphenols exist inchocolate. It’s the same

chemical in your brainthat’s released when youfall in love. It’s more of amental cure for people’sstress.”Also, chocolate’s melt-

ing point is the same asthe human body’s temper-ature, meaning natureintended it to melt on yourtongue — slowly, untilyour cold goes away.Hot tea, civilized and

soothing, is an age-old wayto tackle colds. Tea manu-facturer TraditionalMedicinals, which callsitself “a pioneer of thewellness tea category,” isfamous for such blends as“Throat Coat” and “NightyNight.” The companyrecently launched a newline of teas made withorganic “super plants” likefennel, ginger, nettle leafand roasted dandelionroot.

Parents who are footingmore of the college tuitionbill for their children givethem a better chance ofgraduating. But a surpris-ing new study finds theymay not be doing them anyfavors in another area: gen-erous financial supportappears to lead to lowergrades.The study, published in

this month’s AmericanSociological Review, sug-gests students with some oftheir own “skin in thegame” may work harder,and that students with par-ents picking up more of thetab are free to take on amore active social andextracurricular life. Thatmay be fun and even worth-while, but comes at a cost toGPA.“It allows for a lot of

other activities in collegethat aren’t academic,” saidauthor Laura Hamilton ofthe University of California,Merced. “Participation inthe social scene is expensivemoney to hang out, drink.”But “the more you have allthese extras, the more youcan get dragged into theparty scene, and that willdrag down your GPA.”The study is based on

figures from three large fed-eral data sets that allowparental contributions andgrades to be compared.Hamilton controlled forfamily socio-economic sta-tus, allowing a comparisonof similar students whosefamilies make differentchoices about how much ofthe cost of college to pickup.The effect on GPA is rel-

atively small, Hamiltonsaid. “The reason it was soshocking, however, is thatall the research on parental

investments from pre-school through (college)assumes you give some-thing to your kids, particu-larly money, it leads to goodthings. This is one casewhere it not only doesn’thave the expected goodeffect, it has a small nega-tive effect.”When parents pick up

greater absolute amountsand shares of college costs,it affects GPA across theincome distribution, thoughthe effect is steepest at fam-ilies earning over $90,000.At that level, and control-ling for other factors, par-ents not giving their chil-dren any aid predicts a GPAof 3.15. At $16,000 in aid,GPA drops under 3.0. At$40,000, it hits 2.95.While rich families obvi-

ously find it easier to con-tribute, poorer families doas well, at greater sacrifice.But Hamilton says thedamage may be greater forthose families, becauselower GPAs don’t hurt bet-ter-off students as much inthe job market. Wealthierstudents can rely on con-nections and further helpfrom parents.Students without those

connections “have to havethe 3.0 in order to pass theinitial resume glance,” shesaid.Hamilton found grants,

scholarships, work-study,student employment andveterans benefits don’t havesimilar negative effects onGPA, though loans do, alongwith direct parental aid.Hamilton said the find-

ings don’t suggest parentsshould stop supporting stu-dents financially, especiallyconsidering there is a largerpositive effect on gradua-tion rates than the negativeeffect on GPA. But theyshould lay out standardsand expectations.

NEW YORK (AP)Grand Central, the coun-try’s most famous trainstation and one of thefinest examples of BeauxArts architecture inAmerica, turns 100 onFeb. 1. Its centennialcomes 15 years after a tri-umphant renovation thatremoved decades of grimeand restored its glitteringchandeliers, cathedralwindows and famous ceil-ing depicting a night sky.The building’s survival

is also a testament to his-toric preservation: Thelandmark was saved fromdemolition in the 1970sthanks to a battle spear-headed by JacquelineKennedy Onassis thatwent all the way to theU.S. Supreme Court. In1978, the court ruled thatcities have the right toprotect historic buildings,even if that limits theowner’s ability to developor sell the property. Thedecision legitimizedpreservation effortsaround the country.Grand Central was an

engineering wonder whenit opened in 1913, withtrains flowing seamlesslyover 67 subterraneantracks and thousands ofpeople departing andarriving daily from aroundthe country. Purists notethat it’s actually not a sta-tion, but a terminal, wheretrains stop and start theirroutes rather than passingthrough. But it’s alwaysbeen much more than aplace to get on or off atrain: It’s a spectacularpublic space with marblefloors, tiled arches, ornatestaircases and even sculp-ture inspired by Greekand Roman mythology.“The whole point was

that regular people wouldfeel like they were in acathedral,” said JessicaHalem, spokeswoman forthe Municipal Art Society.The terminal also sym-

bolized “the great era oftransportation,” saidMickey Jacob, president ofthe American Institute ofArchitects. “The grandeurand elegance coming intothis space suggested thegreat adventure beyond.”But the era of luxuri-

ous long-distance traintravel began to fade afterWorld War II. By the timeGrand Central’s restora-tion began in the late1990s, the roof leaked,bathrooms were unusable,pigeons roosted in corners,and the windows and ceil-

ing were dark from ciga-rette smoke. OnChristmas Day, 1985, ahomeless woman died inthe waiting room. Somany homeless peoplelived in the hallways andtunnels that the U.S.

Census sent in a specialteam in 1990 to countthem.Today the only trains

in Grand Central are runby Metro-North Railroadto the city’s northern sub-urbs. But the railroad’s

275,000 passengers arenot the only ones usingGrand Central. It remainsthe largest train station inthe world, and it is alsoone of the most-visitedbuildings in the world,with 750,000 people pass-

ing through daily, includ-ing tourists and com-muters using the onsiteNew York City subwaystation.Some of those passing

through are shoppers.Grand Central has becomean attractive location fordozens of high-end retail-ers, from a jeweler to anApple store.And while the iconic

Oyster Bar continues todish up raw oysters, as ithas since 1913, the termi-nal’s restaurants and barsnow include MichaelJordan’s The Steak HouseN.Y.C. and the elegantCampbell Apartment,which was once the pri-vate apartment and salonof a 1920s tycoon, John W.Campbell.If you’re visiting Grand

Central for the first time,make a point of contem-plating its famous fea-tures: the tall windows,grand staircases, chande-liers, and four-faced clockat the central informationbooth. The clock has been

a meeting point for NewYorkers for generationsand now serves as a sym-bol of the centennial.Just outside the Oyster

Bar lies the whisperinggallery. Press your faceinto a corner and yourwhisper can be heard bysomeone in a corner acrossthe way.A plaque honoring

Onassis’ work in savingthe terminal can be foundin Vanderbilt Hall.Onassis was the widow ofPresident John F.Kennedy, and their daugh-ter, Carolyn KennedySchlossberg, is expected toattend a centennial launchevent in Grand CentralFeb. 1.One of the terminal’s

best-known features is theceiling painting of thezodiac, with gold-leaf con-stellations and twinklinglight bulb stars. But acommuter in 1913 noticedthat the zodiac was back-wards it’s a mirror imageof how the sky actuallylooks. Among the explana-tions given: It was paintedfrom God’s point of view,above the heavens.While you’re staring

up, look for a hole in theceiling near the Piscesconstellation that marksthe spot where cablessecured a rocket ship dis-played here in 1957. Andin the ceiling’s northwestcorner, near the station-master’s office, there’s ablack smudge. That’s thecolor of the ceiling beforethe renovation.Other fun facts for

Grand Central cognoscen-ti: The times listed on aboard for MetroNorthtrains are a minute earlierthan actual departures, togive passengers preciousseconds to board in time.The information booth’sbrass kiosk hides a spiralstaircase connecting to abooth a floor below. Andthere’s a secret train plat-form a few blocks awaybeneath the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, where U.S.presidents visiting NewYork usually stay. (Thehotel is north of GrandCentral but the terminal’ssubterranean footprintextends from 42nd to 97thstreets.) PresidentFranklin DelanoRoosevelt, whose legs wereparalyzed from polio, usedthe platform to exit a trainunobserved. A waiting cartook him into the Waldorfgarage through an under-ground passage.

star’s first leading role in adecade, having left actingto serve as the governor ofCalifornia and whatnot,and while it may not haveoccurred to you to misshim during that time, it’sstill surprisingly good tosee him on the big screenagain.He is not exactly push-

ing himself here. Koreandirector Kim Jee-woon’sAmerican filmmakingdebut turns out to be anextremelySchwarzeneggerishSchwarzenegger film, fullof big, violent set piecesand broad comedy. He maylook a little creaky (andfacially freaky) these days,but Arnold proves he’s stillgame for the mayhem ashe fires off rounds andtosses off one-liners, andthe movie at least has thedecency to acknowledgethat it knows that youknow that he’s old.

The script also feels abit old “The Last Stand” isessentially an amped-upversion of “Rio Bravo,”with some “Jackass”-stylehijinks courtesy of JohnnyKnoxville himself. ButKim keeps things movingbriskly and the membersof the strong supportingcast don’t seem to mind

that they’re playing flimsytypes. Everyone’s just herefor a mindless good time.Schwarzenegger stars

as Ray Owens, sheriff ofthe tiny Arizona bordertown of SommertonJunction, the kind of placewhere everyone knowseveryone and the locals sitaround the diner trading

folksy jokes. That’s whythe sheriff is immediatelysuspicious of some visitorssharing a booth overbreakfast one morningthey clearly don’t belongthere. Andrew Knauer’sscript makes some passingmention of Owens’ pastcareer as a highly decorat-ed Los Angeles police nar-

cotics detective, which isintended to explain whythis mild-mannered guywith the thick accent issuch a bad-ass.Turns out these new

folks (led by PeterStormare) are there layingthe groundwork forMexican drug kingpinGabriel Cortez (EduardoNoriega), who’s justescaped federal custody inLas Vegas in elaboratefashion. He’s headedstraight for the border atSommerton with a hostagein the passenger seat in astolen, souped-up Corvettethat can reach speeds of250 mph. While FBI agentJohn Bannister (ForestWhitaker) and his crew tryin vain to chase Cortez,the sheriff and hismakeshift posse set up abarricade. And they wait.His team consists of the

innocent newbie (ZachGilford), the grumpy veter-an (Luis Guzman), thepretty and capable femaledeputy (Jaimie Alexander),her screw-up ex-boyfriendwho happens to be in thetown’s lone jail cell(Rodrigo Santoro) and thewacko with an arsenal

who gives his weapons petnames. That would beKnoxville.The shootouts and

showdowns are muscular,high-energy and consist ofan insane amount of gun-fire, although there aresome bursts of squirm-inducing, creative carnage.Much of the hand-to-handcombat is shot and editedin a way to obscure whatSchwarzenegger is actual-ly doing while creating theillusion that he’s kickingall kinds of butt. Far moreeffective is a clever, inti-mate car chase through acornfield that’s alternatelythrilling and quietly sus-penseful.That this scrappy band

of underdogs can take outthe more technologicallyadvanced villain and hiscrew should come as nosurprise. It’s as predictableas Arnold saying he’ll beback, and making good onthat promise.

“The Last Stand,” aLionsgate release, is ratedR for strong, bloody vio-lence throughout and lan-guage. Running time: 107minutes. Three stars out offour.

Arnold returns to screen in ‘The Last Stand’

LOS ANGELES (AP) —Jodie Foster had everyonetalking when she took theunusual step of revealingshe’s a lesbian on theGolden Globes stageSunday night. This hadn’texactly been a secret, giventhat she has two sons withher former partner. Butthe two-time Oscar winnerhas been notoriously pro-tective of her privacy,which made the ramblingand emotional speech sucha riveting aberration.But this is also a good

opportunity to talk aboutwhat made Foster famousin the first place: thestrong screen persona andversatile talent she’s dis-played over her 47 yearsas an actress. Here’s a lookat five of her best perform-ances:• “The Silence of the

Lambs” (1991): The word“iconic” gets tossed arounda lot without muchthought, but it’s trulyapplicable here in describ-ing the work of Foster andco-star Anthony Hopkins.Foster won the second ofher two best-actressOscars (the first was for1988’s “The Accused”) asyoung FBI agent ClariceStarling, who’s sent to pickthe brain of the fiendishand fearsome HannibalLecter. She’s brilliant andresourceful, the scrappy,self-made underdog whodares to go toe to toe witha psychopath.• “Taxi Driver”

(1976): It’s frighteningwhen you think about notonly how good Foster wasat such a young age butalso how young her child-prostitute character of Iriswas, as well. Her work inone of Martin Scorsese’sgreatest films presents afascinating dichotomy. Shehas to project a world-wariness and a cynicismbeyond her years but alsoa youthful vitality, a fresh-ness and the hint of prom-ise. She’s only 12 years oldbut she earned anAcademy Award nomina-tion for best supportingactress.

• “Freaky Friday”(1976): In a great demon-stration of Foster’s range,she played an extremelydifferent kind of kid laterthe same year. She’s actu-ally playing an adult, too,since this classic Disneycomedy hinges on the ideathat her character,Annabel, switches bodieswith her mother (BarbaraHarris), giving each a brieftaste of how tough theother’s life is. This is prob-ably my earliest memoryof Foster — she’s hilariousand charming with hertomboyish toughness andquick wit.• “Inside Man” (2006):

Foster plays a supportingpart in Spike Lee’s slickbank heist thriller, but it’ssuch an intriguing depar-ture for her that I had topick it. She plays MadelineWhite, who has the vagueoccupation of functioningas a fixer for the wealthyand powerful. Here she’sworking for the bank’sfounder (ChristopherPlummer), who sends herto retrieve something dam-aging from a safe depositbox. It’s actually a quasi-villainous role: a well-con-nected, well-spoken socialclimber who’s all businessbeneath her cool, blondexterior, and it was juicyfun to watch her reveal yetanother facet of her talent.• “A Very Long

Engagement” (2004):Who knew Foster was flu-ent in French? Seeing herturn up here, speakingflawlessly in a foreign lan-guage, was a huge surpriseand a thrill. Her role is sosmall as a soldier’s wife indirector Jean-PierreJeunet’s lavish and livelyWorld War I romance thatyou long to see more of her.Actually, you don’t evenrealize it’s Foster at first;she’s in the distance whenwe see her at a crowdedmarketplace, and she has ascarf pulled over her head.But eventually she startsspeaking in that instantlyrecognizable, husky voice.Talk about a real revela-tion.

‘Everythingis fallinginto place’

BBYY JJIIMM DDAAVVIISSStaff Writer

[email protected]

Randy Houser spent the first few years of hiscareer searching for solid ground. Almost adecade and three albums after making the moveto Nashville, Tenn., the 37-year-old Mississippinative feels like he’s truly found a place to callhome.He married his wife, Jessa Lee Yantz, a little

more than a year ago, and together they wel-comed son West Yantz Houser last March. Add inthe fact that his new single — “How CountryFeels” (from his forthcoming album by the samename) — is making waves on country radio, andit’s easy to see why the singer-songwriter is in agood place these days.“Everything is falling into place,” Houser said.

“I couldn’t be more excited.”He has good reason to be.The single is at No. 2 on the country music

charts and is Houser’s fastest-rising single todate, while the album — his first with StoneyCreek Records — will be released nationwideTuesday and features 15 new songs.“At the beginning, we didn’t know how many

songs we were going to put on there,” Houser saidduring a recent phone interview with the TroyDaily News. “We just kept recording and they keptcoming out great, so we put them on there.”He said the freedom to load up the album

with a couple of extra songs was a consciousdecision to give music fans their money’s worthin a time in which everything else seems to begetting cut back.“(Stoney Creek President Benny Brown) sees

the value of giving fans more,” Houser said. “Ithink people are hurting right now, and I thinkpeople should get some more bang for theirbuck. I don’t make the career — the fans do —and I finally realized that. I realized I had tomake something for the fans.”Houser — who scored a No. 2 hit with the 2008

single “Boots On” — said he had plenty of helpmaking that happen.Being a new husband and father, he said he

learned to welcome input from his new “family”at Stoney Creek, as well his close circle of song-writing brethren.“I did lean on people to listen to songs (for the

album), and that process was definitely differentfor me,” said Houser, who wrote or co-wroteseven tracks on the disc. “But one of the reasonsI moved to Nashville was to hear what otherpeople were writing. So that support system andmy songwriting buddies has been amazing.Everybody came through for me and it took aton of pressure off of me.”

The result, he said, is an album he’simmensely proud of.“I think it’s the best album I’ve made,” he

said. “Before, I think I thought everythinghad to be so personal. But I wanted to makethis album about having fun for the fans and,in the process, I had fun doing it. It mademaking music fun again.”In addition to the title track, Houser filled

his third studio album with songs rangingfrom uplifting, lively tunes (“Sunshine on theLine” and “Growing Younger”) to morethought-provoking material (“Power of aSong” and “Like a Cowboy”) that showcaseshis soulful voice.American Idol alum Kristy Lee Cook joined

him on “Wherever Love Goes,” which allowedHouser a chance to pair his rich, baritonevoice with Cook’s soaring vocals.“We heard that song as a demo — as a duet

— and the song had gone through severalhands before it came to us,” Houser remem-bered. “Benny suggested Kristy, and, man, shecame in and sang the fire out of it. I reallyappreciate the energy she put into that song.”He said another of his favorites, “Like A

Cowboy,” is somewhat biographical in that itreflects the itinerant nature of his profession.“I wrote that song with my buddy Brice

Long, and it’s kind of how I feel: Going out onthe road, coming home for a short period oftime, then leaving again,” he said.Houser said he decided to close the album

with a song that leaves listeners with a per-sonal glimpse of who he is.“I think ‘Route 3 Box 250 D’ is the most

revealing song on there. That was my addressfor that part of my life, and it’s like a snap-shot of my life at that time,” he said. “I thinkit’s important to share a little of your lifewith your fans on each album, and I try to letpeople in on who I am and the reasons I amwho I am.”By the end of this album, they’ll have a

pretty good idea.To learn more about Randy Houser, visit his

“Pound Foolish:Exposing the Dark Sideof the Personal FinanceIndustry” (Portfolio/Penguin), by HelaineOlen: After the financialcrisis began in 2008, itsuddenly became OK, evendesirable, to talk about theillogic of ballooning bor-rowing and runaway stocksand the inevitability thatbubbles pop. For years,financial journalists hadbeen required to “balance”their realization that lend-ing had come loose from itsmoorings with industryassertions that things sim-ply worked differently now.In 2008, we finally couldsay the emperor the overa-vailability of all types ofdebt, the expectation thatmarkets would heal all illshad no clothes. We nolonger had to wait for hisside of the story.That was a good thing.

It made possible a wholenew genre of nonfictionhighly readable decon-structions of how regulato-ry and moral gaps spawnfinancial excess and con-tributed to the collapse.There are even subgenres,including half-investiga-tion-half-confessions. It is

in this burgeoning categorythat Helaine Olen presents“Pound Foolish: Exposingthe Dark Side of thePersonal FinanceIndustry.” Olen is takingon the sellers of a particu-larly insidious form ofsnake oil, the idea that ifyou try really hard andmaybe pay $29.95 for abook or $89.95 for anonline “membership” oreven more to attend a liveprogram you, too, canachieve financial success. Aformer Los Angeles Times

reporter who made acareer interviewing peopleabout their personalfinances and getting themprofessional advice, Olenopens with a rundown ofmajor self-promoters in thefield.Taking a thorough and

deserved drubbing areSuze Orman (“rebuildingAmerica one wallet at atime”), David Bach (“theLatte Factor”), Thomas J.Stanley and William D.Danko (“The MillionaireNext Door”), and DaveRamsey (with seminars inCancun and in churchesand military bases acrossthe U.S. promoting theelimination of personaldebt). He’s particularlygalling, given that he andhis wife filed for bankrupt-cy protection in 1990, andhis main recommendationis to get unemotional, stayout of debt and avoid bank-ruptcy. His prescription atwww.daveramsey.com for afamily living on $5,000 amonth after taxes far morethan the U.S. medianincome includes paying$1,250 for housing and$350 for health care. That’sa great idea, just not areality for most middle-class Americans. Many ofthese self-styled adviserslook absurd on close exam-ination. And a huge red

flag should pop up for any-one who knows thatOrman largely refuses toinvest in the same stocksand funds that she fre-quently promotes.Olen then translates

the doublespeak of tradi-tional personal financeinstitutions to reveal lotsmore hot air. There aremutual funds and retire-ment plans promoted fortheir safety that actuallycharge fees so high theycan cut an account’s valueby 28 percent over time(that’s from a U.S. LaborDepartment report about401(k) plans). She convinc-ingly argues that the fadfor “empowering” women tomanage their own financesends up doing the opposite.Olen sees even financialliteracy education with thesimplistic message thatsecurity comes from plan-ning and self-control as a“myth,” especially giventhat much of it is spon-sored by usurious lendersreaping the considerablebenefit of brand loyaltyfrom their students. Andforget variable annuities.Just forget you ever heardof them.Olen’s biggest gripes

are that no one — not thepolicy makers, not do-good-ers and not the industrywhose advice she conveyed

to hundreds of her LosAngeles Times subjects —is addressing incomeinequality and thatAmerican public policyoffers little real supportfor low- and moderate-income Americans. But thepart where she offersalternatives and outlines— the new thinking she’dlike to see — gets shortshrift. And that makes herincisive criticism of thepersonal finance worldsound like an intellectualexercise. Her closingobservation, for instance,could have enriched heranalysis throughout: Shenotes that the era of per-sonal responsibility andeconomic growth thatwe’re asked to harkenback to as we get ourfinancial houses in orderactually was an era whenmany government and cor-porate financial supportsfirst matured. Maybe, justmaybe, the rise of pen-sions and employer-spon-sored health insurance,the G.I. bill, welfare as weknew it, and the buildingof the interstate highwaysystem weren’t drags onprosperity. Could it bethat they contributed toAmericans’ personal finan-cial security as they bol-stered the economy as awhole?

“Good Prose: The Artof Nonfiction” (RandomHouse), by TracyKidder and RichardTodd:Writing about writ-ing is riddled with pitfalls.Take that sentence, even:Should we reconsider thepassive voice? Should weclarify which instance of“writing” we mean as anoun and which as a verbform, if either? And, any-way, what do we mean bypitfalls: traps or tricks?Actually, the challenge ismore complicated thanthat. Writing is a specificand individual task: Notwo pieces can sound thesame without one or bothbeing diminished, and notwo personalities approachthe creative process inexactly the same way.Successful reporting andwriting also involve somuch of a special kind ofpursued luck that they’reusually irreparablyharmed when they’re dis-sected. Reassembleddescriptions of the processoften end up sounding likeprescriptions. Or bragging.Lucky readers of Tracy

Kidder’s and RichardTodd’s conversation abouttheir four shared decadesin the writing life, “GoodProse: The Art ofNonfiction,” don’t getpulled into those weedsuntil the book’s very end.And, by then, Todd andKidder have earned theright to offer a few quicktips. Besides, their finalchapter, “Being Edited andEditing,” opens with adescription of this crucialpart of the writing processthat is more frank andhelpful than any in recentmemory. It’s more than afig leaf when Kidder, along-form journalist andwinner of the PulitzerPrize, National BookAward and many otheraccolades, mentions hiseditors’ harsh assessmentsof his early work. Thoseare important to hear. Andit’s important to know thatKidder still suffers fromdisorganization, ballooningprose and melodrama. Hestill spreads printouts of apiece all over the floor or atable to see its parts moreclearly, he still needs helpshaping ideas, he must“work on keeping quiet,”and he still reaches a pointin each project when hewants to quit.For his part, Todd is

gorgeously open about howmany editors work. “Allmagazines are dictator-ships,” he asserts indescribing his own mid-level role at The Atlantic.His most succinct argu-ment for the work of edi-tors is equally sweeping:“Most problems in writingare structural, even on thescale of the page. …Editors ideally can hearand see prose in a waythat is difficult for thewriter.”Organized around top-

ics such as using time ele-ments, being accurate anddeveloping a compellingvoice, or “sound,” ”GoodProse” is as approachableand applicable as any writ-ing manual available.

ANNOUNCEMENT POLICY

WICHITA FALLS, Texas(AP) — Hirschi High Schoolfilm teacher Steve Tucker isaccustomed to it now.

Every year he hears thesame comment from stu-dents who participate in thefirst year of his film course.

He calls it “The AnnualComment.”

It usually comes aboutnow, shortly after the holi-days, when students returnfrom Christmas break andtell him about the moviesthey watched.

“Mr. Tucker,” they say, “Icannot look at movies in thesame way now that I’vetaken this class.”

The class they’re talkingabout is the freshmancourse in Tucker’s multi-layer Audio VisualTechnology series, a strandof Career and Technologyclasses that enroll about200 students per year atHirschi.

The film classes are theremnant of what used to bea broad magnet full oftechnology courses thatincluded digital animation

and animatronics.Then about six years

ago, the state of Texas mod-ified its Career andTechnology classes, narrow-ing course offerings forschools.

Tucker elected to contin-ue teaching his film classes.

As his students movethrough the series of class-es, they eventually embarkon projects to create theirown films for class projects— and even for communityservice. But first they mustbe awakened to the tech-niques and characteristicsof the many film genres.

Most aren’t aware of themanipulation of the audi-ence that underlies all film-making, Tucker said.

“We tend to go to themovies to be entertained.When we watch a movie, wedon’t consider, ‘How didthey do that?’ We don’t ana-lyze the technique or themessage,” he said.

But manipulation is notnecessarily bad, he tells stu-dents.

“They try to have you

adopt their perspective,” hesaid.

Often the message issubliminal — and it alwaystargets interpersonal rela-tionships and communica-tion in some form, he said.

Even a film like“Castaway,” which follows aFederal Express employeemarooned on a desertisland, examines relation-ships and how time and dis-tance affect a romance.

Even on the island, themarooned worker, played byTom Hanks, established arelationship with a soccerball he names Wilson.

A film is a universallymodern communication toolused by all countries toexpress their customs, per-spectives, morals, andissues, Tucker said.

“So how cool is it to lookat a view of the world, notonly from the past but alsothe present, at how we havedisplayed our society.”

His freshmen beginstudying the horror genrewith “Frankenstein.” Nextcomes comedy with discus-

sion centered on a moviesuch as “Ferris Buehler’sDay Off.”

“I want them to see howevery movie attempts tomanipulate the audience —to see their perspective andagree with it,” he said.

As the year progresses,Tucker presents musicvideos, showing — as he didMonday — the first oneever produced, “A HardDay’s Night,” featuring TheBeatles at the height oftheir popularity in 1964.

When Tucker played thefirst 20 minutes of the filmin class, he stopped itbriefly to ask if the studentsknew the names of theshaggy-haired, suited popstars with the strongBritish accents.

“Who is this?” he asked,freezing the frame on PaulMcCartney.

“I don’t know,” said sev-eral students.

“John Lennon,” saidanother.

“This is Paul McCartney.He’s one of two Beatles stillalive,” Tucker said.

Rate on 30-year mortgagedips to 3.38 percent

WASHINGTON (AP) — The average U.S. rateon the 30-year fixed mortgage inched closer toits record low this week, helping to keep homebuying more affordable.

Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac says the rate onthe 30-year loan dipped to 3.38 percent. That’sdown from 3.40 percent last week. And it’s slight-ly above the 3.31 percent rate reached inNovember, the lowest on records dating to 1971.

The average on the 15-year fixed mortgagewas unchanged at 2.66 percent. The record lowis 2.63 percent.

The rate on the 30-year fixed mortgage aver-aged 3.66 percent in 2012, the lowest annualaverage in 65 years, according to Freddie Mac.

Cheaper mortgages are a key reason thehousing market began to come back last year.Many economists predict the housing recoverywill strengthen in 2013.

HOUSE HUNTING

There’s a buzz in the air. Thereal estate market has improvedand may be on the road to recovery.

But the improvement in thehousing market is not treating allhome sellers equally. Some well-priced listings in prime locationsare selling within a couple ofweeks. In other areas, it still takesmonths to sell, and prices haven’tfully stabilized.

There are several factors thatcould be keeping your home fromselling. One is the state of the localhousing market. Residential realestate is a local business. Nationaltrends, while informative, don’tnecessarily apply to the state of themarket in your neighborhood.

Other factors include: the listprice; the condition of your proper-ty; or lack of broad marketing expo-sure.

HOUSE HUNTING TIP:Today’s buyers don’t overpay. Theyneed to be convinced that the priceyou’re asking for your home is afair market value.

Four reasons your homemay not be selling

Confronting falseexpectations aboutmarket uptick

BY KIM PALMERMinneapolis Star Tribune

The days are gray anddreary, the holidays are histo-ry and those festive seasonaldecorations that gave our inte-riors warmth and sparkle lastmonth are now back in storageboxes.

It’s no wonder that we —and our homes — have thewinter blahs.

So what to do?You don’t have to under-

take a major makeover to giveyour decor a big boost, accord-ing to interior designers. Freshcolors and a few new or repur-posed accessories can go a longway toward perking up win-ter-weary rooms.

“January is a good monthfor this,” said ChristineSutphen, an interior designerwith Gabberts Design Studioin Edina, Minn. To enliveninteriors, she advocates rein-terpreting some of the sameelements that make holidaydecorating so appealing, suchas light, texture and greenery.

“The holidays are a verysensory experience,” Sutphensaid, but there’s no reasonhomes can’t appeal to thesenses once the holidays areover.

“What do we have inDecember that we’re devoid ofin January?” she said. “Whatcan you do for your home togive it the life and sparkle ithad earlier?”

Here are tips from design-ers on refreshing winter decor:

• Picture the possibili-ties: Take photos of the roomsyou want to enhance, thenstudy them to see what’s need-ed.

• Accessorize: Rooms arelike outfits, according toSutphen, and can be greatlyenhanced by accessories. Howmany is a matter of personaltaste, but in her view, homestend to be under-accessorizedmost of the year. “Mantels areso nicely done during the holi-days and so neglected the restof the year,” she said. “A fewmore important pieces are bet-ter than a lot of littletchotchkes,” cautioned

Catherine Harrington, aninterior designer withWaldenwood, an Eden Prairie,Minn., remodeling firm.

• Perk up pillows: Newaccent pillows can go a longway toward refreshing yourinteriors. “There are so manygreat fabrics, colors and pricepoints,” Sutphen noted. Ormake your own.

• Move things around:Harrington is a fan of creativerearranging. “Redecoratingdoesn’t have to be a lot of buy-ing. It can be reusing thingsyou already have,” she said,such as moving your living-room lamps to the bedroomand vice versa, or putting asmall bedroom chest in thedining room. “All of a sudden itlooks like a brand-new piece,”she said. Sutphen encouragesclients to “open up the buffetdoors” in search of “new”acces-sories. “What have you inherit-

ed but never knownwhat to dowith?” she said. “Maybe it’sGrandma’s plate that hasalways had the turkey on it.Maybe it’s time to hang it onthe wall.”

• Illuminate: “January issuch a dark month,” Sutphensaid. That’s why lighting —task, ambient and decorative— is extra-important duringthe winter. “Proper lightingwill bring a room to life,” shesaid. Try a new chandelier —they’re now popular in justabout every room of the house,even over kitchen islands andbathtubs. “It can be a piece ofjewelry for the home, and adda little bit of bling,” she said.“And adding a mirror to aroom can do a ton to bouncearound light.”

• Color therapy: “A freshcoat of paintmakes everythingfresh and new,” Harringtonsaid. Try fresh spring or lime

green on walls. “It’s very popu-lar and has almost become aneutral,” she said.

• Rethink artwork: Tryhanging a favorite piece of artin a new spot. Or group art-work in a new way, such astaking two prints with com-plementary colors or patternsand framing them as a pair.

• Add greenery: “We’reso happy to add garlands dur-ing the holidays,” Sutphensaid. “Then we’re devoid ofMother Nature in January.I’m a huge fan of plants, realor silk. It’s an inexpensiveway to add height and inter-est.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — The government’s con-sumer lending watchdog finalized new rulesThursday aimed at protecting homeowners fromshoddy service and unexpected fees charged bycompanies that collect their monthly mortgage pay-ments.

Mortgage servicing companies will be requiredto provide clear monthly billing statements, warnborrowers before interest rate hikes and activelyhelp them avoid foreclosure, the ConsumerFinancial Protection Bureau said. The rules alsorequire companies to credit people’s paymentspromptly, swiftly correct errors and keep betterinternal records.

In a departure from proposed rules released inAugust, the agency said that mortgage companieswill not be allowed to seek foreclosure on a per-son’s home while that person is trying to arrangelower monthly payments or otherwise avoid losingthe home.The change will end the practice of“dual-tracking,” pushing a borrower into foreclosurewhile discussing a loan modification with that bor-rower.

The rules “will provide a fairer and more effec-tive process for troubled borrowers who face thepotential loss of their homes,” CFPB DirectorRichard Cordray said in remarks prepared for apublic event in Atlanta Thursday.

REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS

The housing market is pullingout of the worst recession sincethe Great Depression. This is freshin buyers’ minds. There are plentyof buyers who think this is theright time to buy, but they’re notinclined to make offers on over-priced listings.Sellers often wonder why buy-

ers won’t make an offer at a lowerprice if they think the list price ishigh. Buyers don’t want to wastetheir time making an offer if theseller is unrealistic. Making anoffer takes a lot of time and emo-tional energy. Most buyers whohave the wherewithal to buy ahome don’t have time to waste.There are “bottom feeders”

who give sellers lowball offersbelow market value hoping to getlucky. These buyers also won’tpay over the asking price. Theywant a bargain. You can do betterthan that if you price your homeright for the market.Here are clues that your list-

ing might be priced too high. Youdon’t receive any showings, oryou receive showings but norepeat showings. Buyers usuallylook at a listing more than oncebefore making an offer. Anotherpossibility is that buyers look atyour home and then buy anotherlisting that is priced more in linewith the market.Let your real estate agent

know that you want to hear feed-back from buyers who have seenyour home. If they like the housebut not at the price you’re asking,that’s a clear indication that youshould adjust the price if youwant to sell.Some sellers have false expec-

tations about the current picked-up market. In some areas, theimproved market means thathomes are taking less time tosell, not that prices haveincreased.In other markets, like Phoenix,

prices have jumped approximate-ly 25 percent from a year ago butare still way below where theywere at the peak of the market. Ifprices dropped 50 percent in yourarea, they need to increase 100percent to get back to where theywere before the decline.For instance, if your home was

worth $100,000 in 2006 anddropped 50 percent in value andthen increased 50 percent of thelower value, it would be worth$75,000. It needs to increase 100percent ($50,000 plus $50,000) torecoup your loss.The condition of your home will

influence the market value. Youneed to lower the price to accountfor deferred maintenance or adated decor, or take care of theseissues so that you can presentyour home in move-in condition.You’ll then attract more buyersand sell for more.It’s always possible that your

home has not been properly mar-keted. Ask your listing agent toprovide you with copies of alladvertising. More than 88 percentof today’s homebuyers use theInternet to find a home.

THE CLOSING: Make sureyour listing is receiving wideInternet exposure, including a lotof good-quality photographs.

Tampa Bay Times

House-hunting can be somuch fun and so over-whelming at the same time.If you are out looking foryour next castle, it is wise tocreate a wish list of whatyou personally desire foryour home, including theinteriors. While viewing dif-ferent houses, take a cam-era and a notepad to docu-ment how each compares toyour list. In today’s real-estate market, the featuresbelow are definitely onmany homebuyers’ wishlists.

• What’s in: Modernkitchens. The kitchen is theheart of every home and,therefore, has become themost important space forhomebuyers. Increasingly,

buyers want a modern openkitchen with an informaleat-in area, for both mealsand homework. Centerislands are desired, for theiradded counter space andstorage. Large sinks under awindow always are a hit.Appliances are one of the

most expensive items in ahome, so make sure to lookat the condition, age (includ-ing energy efficiency) andoverall appearance. As forcountertops, natural stonesuch as granite is still popu-lar, but quartz counterssuch as Silestone andCaesarstone are becomingmore in demand.•What’s out: Long, nar-

row galley kitchens and sep-arate dining rooms

• What’s in: Open floorplans, numerous windowsand high ceilings.In newer homes, buyers

desire open spaces, such asthe kitchen and family roomhaving open access to eachanother. Superior naturallighting is on most home-buyers’ wish lists, so largeand abundant windowsachieve this. High ceilingscreate spaciousness andgive good lighting and deco-rating options.• What’s out: Low ceil-

ings covered in popcorn orknockdown textures.

• What’s in: Durablehardwood flooring and tile.More and more, buyers

are opting for homes withhardwood flooring and/ortile due to the resilience andmaintenance. These floorsalso can give style and beau-ty to any room.In older homes, original

hardwood flooring may behidden under old carpet.It’s important to see what is

underneath, and see if thehardwood can be refin-ished. Broadloom carpetmay still be considered forbedrooms.• What’s out: :

Different flooring in everyroom, dirty carpet.

• What’s in: Lavishbathrooms. Buyers typical-ly want at least two fullbathrooms, preferably withwindows for natural light-ing and ventilation. Theyalso desire walk-in showersinstead of shower/tub com-binations. However, at leastone bathtub should be inthe home.For the master bath-

room, most buyers wish fortwo sinks, a freestandingtub, a shower with a myri-ad of water features, and aseparate water closet forthe toilet.• What’s out:Whirlpool

tubs with expansive tubdecks.

• What’s in: Plentifulbedrooms. On average, mostbuyers want a minimum ofthree bedrooms, even if theyare single or a couple with-out children. Bedrooms canserve multiple purposes,such as a home office, exer-cise room orman cave. Somebuyers want all the bed-rooms on the same level,especially if they have smallchildren.Most like the master

bedroom to have some typeof separation from the chil-dren’s rooms and have theirown in-suite bathroom andcloset area. Boomers areseeking a full bedroom/bathon the first floor for agingparents, or for their ownroom later in life.• What’s out: The mas-

ter bedroom sharing a bath-

roomwith another bedroom.• What’s in:Media-filled

family/gathering room. Thecocooning trend continues,as spending time with fami-ly and friends is paramountto well-being. Large flat-screen televisions and acomfortable seating area toaccommodate many peopleare preferred by most buy-ers.

• What’s out: Formalliving rooms only used dur-ing the holidays.

• What’s in:Outdoor liv-ing spaces. Buyers want anarea to enjoy the great out-doors. This includes pooldecks, outdoor kitchens, TVviewing areas and even fire-places. Also in newer homes,there is a trend to integratethe interiors with the exteri-or and views, with largesliding glass doors, parti-tions and windows.
