Information submitted
MIDDLE POINT Van

Wert County Sheriff Thomas
M. Riggenbach announced in
a statement that depu-
ties are investigating a
robbery that occurred
in the early-morning
hours on Sunday.
Riggenbach said his
office received a 9-1-1
call at 0159 hours
Sunday morning from
the Ramblers Roost on
Lincoln Highway that some-
one had robbed the business.
During the initial investi-
gation, Riggenbach said dep-
uties identified the man who
entered the business, a
possible description of
a vehicle believed used
in the robbery and that
a second person may
be involved.
The man who
entered the business
was identified as Trent
A. Webster, 49, of Van
Wert. Webster was wearing
a dark colored hat, a dark
colored zip-up jacket, a dark
colored shirt and glasses.
The description of the
vehicle possibly used in
the robbery is a 1995- 2000
Ford Explorer, blue over
tan, possibly an Eddie Bauer
edition.
Riggenbach said a warrant
for robbery, a felony of the
second degree, has been
issued for Webster.
Riggenbach advised
Webster entered the
business and told an
employee to give him
money. Webster also
told the employee
someone else was wait-
ing outside and there
would be problems if Webster
was not given the money.
The employee complied with
Websters demand.
Riggenbach released that
the second person
who may have been
involved in the robbery
is James R. Reynolds,
34, of Fort Jennings.
Reynolds is a person of
interest in this robbery
and is a suspect in a
robbery that occurred
in Paulding County on
Oct. 4. The Paulding County
Sheriffs Office has a warrant
for Reynolds for aggravated
robbery, a felony of the sec-
ond degree.
Mostly sunny
this morning
the becoming
cloudy today and
tonight. Snow

inch. Highs in the lower 20s
and lows 15 to 20. See page 2.

Getting to know ...
... a pair of chimney sweeps

DELPHOS Along with sched-
uling the yearly inspection and main-
tenance of air conditioners, boilers
and furnaces, it is also very important
to have residential chimneys inspect-
ed and cleaned to protect houses from
potential fires and life-threatening
gases.
Old World Chimney Sweep owner
Bradley Neuenschwander who is
an CSIA-certified chimney sweep
has been in business since 1988. He
said he got started in the business
when he had the opportunity to pur-
chase the business from a coworker.
Dan Szczepanski said he had
been working for a masonry com-
pany and decided to get into the
chimney-cleaning business. He
took a one-week course with The
Chimney Safety Institute of America
(CSIA) in Indiana and was then
tested. Throughout the course work,
Szczepanski said he received an edu-
cation on why people should clean
their chimney, clearances, combus-
tibles and many more topics.
There are three sources for the
testing, Neuenschwander detailed.
The National Fire Protection Agency
(NFPA) 211 codes, the CSIA and the
International Residential Code (IRC).
The biggest thing Ive learned on
the job is that all chimneys are different,
Szczepanski explained. We try to offer a
solution to a customers problem.
According to statistics from the
Chimney Safety Institute of America
website, from January 2009 through
December 2011, there were an aver-
age of 24,300 fireplace, chimney and
chimney connector residential struc-
ture fires. In that same time frame
each year, there was an average of 10
fire deaths and $30.8 million in fire
property loss.

A 9-year-old Ohio girl last seen playing in the mobile home
park where she lived was found dead in a nearby trash bin
after a frantic search, and police on Sunday arrested a neighbor
theyve described as a family friend in the killing.
Jerrod Metsker, 24, was arrested at his home on a murder charge
about 12 hours after deputies found the body of Reann Murphy near
her home in Smithville, about 30 miles southwest of Akron, Wayne
County Sheriff Travis Hutchinson said at a news conference.
Metsker was scheduled to appear in court this morning.
Reann was last seen Saturday night playing outside in a
shared area at the mobile home park. She was reported miss-
ing after 8 p.m. and officers, firefighters and neighbors joined
in the search for Reann, going door-to-door and combing area
properties. Her body was found around 1:35 a.m. Sunday,
Hutchinson said.

Lawrence of Arabia star Peter OToole dead at 81
LONDON (AP) Known on the one
hand for his starring role in Lawrence of
Arabia, leading tribesmen in daring attacks
across the desert wastes, and on the other
for his headlong charges into the depths of
drinking, Peter OToole was one of the acting
worlds most charismatic figures.
OToole, who died Saturday at age 81
after a long bout of illness, was fearsomely
handsome, with burning blue eyes and a
penchant for hard living, which long outlived
his decision to give up alcohol. Broadcaster
Michael Parkinson told Sky News television
it was hard to be too sad about the news of
his passing.
Peter didnt leave much of life unlived,
did he? he said, chuckling.
A reformed but unrepentant hell-
raiser, OToole long suffered from ill health.
Always thin, he had grown wraithlike in later
years, his famously handsome face eroded by
years of hard drinking.
But nothing diminished his flamboyant
manner and candor.
If you cant do something willingly and
joyfully, then dont do it, he once said. If
you give up drinking, dont go moaning about
it; go back on the bottle. Do. As. Thou. Wilt.
OToole began his acting career as one of
the most exciting young talents on the British
stage. His 1955 Hamlet, at the Bristol Old
Vic, was critically acclaimed.
International stardom came in David
Leans Lawrence of Arabia. With only a
few minor movie roles behind him, OToole
was unknown to most moviegoers when they
first saw him as T.E. Lawrence, the mythic
British World War I soldier and scholar who
led an Arab rebellion against the Turks.
His sensitive portrayal of Lawrences
complex character garnered OToole his first
Oscar nomination.
OToole was tall, fair and strikingly hand-
some, and the image of his bright blue eyes
peering out of an Arab headdress in Leans
spectacularly photographed desert epic was
unforgettable.
Playwright Noel Coward once said that
if OToole had been any prettier, they would
have had to call the movie Florence of
Arabia.
In 1964s Becket, OToole played King
Henry II to Richard Burtons Thomas Becket,
and won another Oscar nomination. Burton
shared OTooles fondness for drinking, and
their off-set carousing made headlines.
OToole played Henry again in 1968 in
The Lion in Winter, opposite Katharine
Hepburn, for his third Oscar nomination.
Four more nominations followed: in 1968
for Goodbye, Mr. Chips, in 1971 for The
Ruling Class, in 1980 for The Stunt Man,
and in 1982 for My Favorite Year. It was
almost a quarter-century before he received
his eighth and last, for Venus.
Seamus Peter OToole was born Aug. 2,
1932, the son of Irish bookie Patrick Spats
OToole and his wife Constance. There is
some question about whether Peter was born
in Connemara, Ireland, or in Leeds, northern
England, where he grew up.
After a teenage foray into journalism at the
Yorkshire Evening Post and national military
service with the navy, young OToole audi-
tioned for the Royal Academy of Dramatic
Art and won a scholarship.
He went from there to the Bristol Old Vic
and soon was on his way to stardom, helped
along by an early success in 1959 at Londons
Royal Court Theatre in The Long and The
Short and The Tall.
The image of the renegade hell-raiser
stayed with OToole for decades, although he
gave up drinking in 1975 following serious
health problems and major surgery.
He did not, however, give up smoking
unfiltered Gauloises cigarettes in an ebony
holder. That and his penchant for green socks,
voluminous overcoats and trailing scarves
lent him a rakish air and suited his fondness
for drama in the old-fashioned bravura
manner.
A month before his 80th birthday in 2012,
OToole announced his retirement from a
career that he said had fulfilled him emotion-
ally and financially, bringing me together
with fine people, good companions with
whom Ive shared the inevitable lot of all
actors: flops and hits.
However, its my belief that one should
decide for oneself when it is time to end ones
stay, he said. So I bid the profession a dry-
eyed and profoundly grateful farewell.
In retirement, OToole said he would
focus on the third volume of his memoirs.
Good parts were sometimes few and far
between, but I take whatever good part
comes along, OToole told The Independent
on Sunday newspaper in 1990.

75 Years Ago 1938
An announcement was
made Thursday which will
be of interest to people in
Delphos and the farmers living
in this vicinity. The St. Marys
Packing Company, operators
of a large canning plant at
St. Marys, has purchased the
Delphos plant of the Macke
Packing Company, accord-
ing to William B. Swonger
of Sidney, president of the
company. The purchase of the
plant on North Main Street
was made through the court
since the Macke Company has
been bankrupt for the past sev-
eral months.
St. Johns High added
another win to its record
Wednesday night when it took
Ottoville High into camp by
a score of 26 to 17, making
its eighth straight victory for
the present season, most of
them by wide margins. In the
final quarter, Delphos added
nine points on field goals by
Grothouse and Huysman and
three free throws by Klausing
and one each by Grothouse
and Ditto.
Mrs. Howard Irick received
the members of the Methodist
Ladies Aid into her home on
East Suthoff Street Wednesday
afternoon. She was assisted
by Pearl Leininger, Mrs. Ray
Redd, Gail Truesdale and Mrs.
Adrian Ridenour. Mrs. Ray
Barnes led the devotionals and
a group of Christmas carols
were sung.
And if there isnt a good part, then I do anything,
just to pay the rent. Money is always a pressure. And
waiting for the right part you could wait forever.
So I turn up and do the best I can.
The 1980 Macbeth in which he starred was a
critical disaster of heroic proportions. But it played
to sellout audiences, largely because the savaging by
the critics brought out the curiosity seekers.
The thought of it makes my nose bleed, he said
years later.
In 1989, however, OToole had a big stage suc-
cess with Jeffrey Bernard is Unwell, a comedy
about his old drinking buddy, the legendary layabout
and ladies man who wrote The Spectator maga-
zines weekly Low Life column when he was
sober enough to do so.
The honorary Oscar came 20 years after his
seventh nomination for My Favorite Year. By
then it seemed a safe bet that OTooles prospects for
another nomination were slim. He was still working
regularly, but in smaller roles unlikely to earn awards
attention.
OToole graciously accepted the honorary award,
quipping, Always a bridesmaid, never a bride, my
foot, as he clutched his Oscar statuette.
He had nearly turned down the award, sending
a letter asking that the Academy of Motion Picture
Arts and Sciences hold off on the honorary Oscar
until he turned 80.
Hoping another Oscar-worthy role would come
his way, OToole wrote: I am still in the game and
might win the bugger outright.
The last chance came in for Venus, in which
he played a lecherous old actor consigned to roles
as feeble-minded royals or aged men on their death
beds. By failing again to win, he broke the tie for
futility which had been shared with his old drinking
buddy, Richard Burton.
OToole divorced Welsh actress Sian Phillips in
1979 after 19 years of marriage. The couple had two
daughters, Kate and Pat.
A brief relationship with American model Karen
Somerville led to the birth of his son Lorcan in 1983,
and a change of lifestyle for OToole.
After a long custody battle, a U.S. judge ruled
Somerville should have her son during school vaca-
tions, and OToole would have custody during the
school year.
The pirate ship has berthed, he declared,
happily taking on the responsibilities of father-
hood. He learned to coach schoolboy cricket
and, when he was in a play, the curtain time was
moved back to allow him part of the evenings at
home with his son.

Pre-business planning seminar at local BEC
VAN WERT Successfully launch your
new business by completing the Starting Right
class developed by the Business Enterprise
Center at Wright State. This two-hour class
delivers much of the basic information neces-
sary for successful business ownership.
Each participant receives a Starting Right
packet including legal, record-keeping, tax and
general business information. A business plan
questionnaire and cash flow projection work-
sheet is also included.
During the class, a business counselor pro-
vides an overview of the information as well as
instruction on the basics of business ownership.
Cost of the class is $35 per business payable the
night of the class.
Those attending the class are not expected
to complete all of the paperwork on their own.
A business counselor is available to offer guid-
ance through this process and answer questions
as necessary. Personal business counseling ser-
vices are free and no limit is placed on the num-
ber of appointments. Business counselors tackle
problems such as business financing for start-
ups, expansions, acquisitions, business manage-
ment issues, tax and record-keeping issues, etc.
The class meets in the Van Wert Business
Enterprise Center at 147 E. Main St. from 6-8
p.m. on Thursday. You can register by calling
either the Business Enterprise Center at Wright
State 419-586-0355 or the Van Wert Economic
Development Office 419-238-2999.
Depending on the condi-
tion of the fireplace, cleaning
may be needed prior to using
the closed circuit camera to
inspect for internal cracks.
Chimney cleaning removes
dangerous buildups of high-
ly-flammable creosote a
gummy, foul-smelling, cor-
rosive which is extremely
combustible and ensures
smoke, vapor and gases face
no obstruction as they are
vented efficiently from the
house. Creosote will coat the
inside of everything it passes
through and is formed when
volatile gases given off in the
burning process combine and
condense on their way out of
the chimney.
The flue liner is like the
exhaust of your car and should
be sealed, Neuenschwander
explained. When there are
cracked mortar joints or mor-
tar joints missing between the
tile of a chimney, theres a
potential for gases to escape.
The camera sees the
internal cracks, Szczepanski
said. Sometimes customers
want to see what the inside of
their chimney looks like and
they watch the video.
As the camera is guided up
the chimney and rotated 360
degrees, Neuenschwander
points out the areas; smoke
shelf, damper, flue tile and
mortar joints as seen via
video and explains any
issues.
I recommend check-
ing the chimney yearly and
cleaning as necessary,
Neuenschwander stated.
Cleaning removes creosote
which can lead to flam-
mable deposits or a blockage,
at worst.
The chimney can be
cleaned from the bottom up
with the Ro-Klean system,
which has differing brushes
and fits onto a drill which
allows for the brushes to
rotate fully. The brush is
gradually guided up the inte-
rior of the chimney where it
spins and cleans the flam-
mable deposits of creosote
from the flue tile.
The brush is made of the
same material as weed-eater
line, Szczepanski said.
Neuenschwander said he
inspects from the top of the
chimney whenever possible
and checks the flashing and
condition of the chimney above
the roof line, which includes
the mortar and flue caps.
Sometimes with ice
its hard to get up there
and clean with a brush,
Neuenschwander said. We
can clean it [the chimney]
just as well with the rotary
tool from inside.
Neuenschwander and
Szczepanski attend continu-
ing education courses and
maintain their CSIA-Certified
Chimney Sweep certification
by re-testing every year.
After the inspection and
cleaning, Neuenschwander
provides a consultation
addressing any issues, gives
his recommendations for
repair work and explores
alternative solutions to fit the
customers needs.

Hutchinson wouldnt say
how Reann was killed or
offer a motive.
Our thoughts and prayers
go out to the family, Wayne
County Prosecutor Dan Lutz
said at the news conference.
Its a horrific incident to
take place at any time, espe-
cially during the holidays.
Metsker was arrested at
his home after he ignored
knocks on his front door
and deputies obtained a
key from a family member,
Hutchinson said.
All she did was love
people, Reanns father,
Richard Murphy, told The
Daily Record in Wooster.
He said that he wanted the
worst for the guy who
killed his daughter and
declined to comment fur-
ther.
A woman who answered
the phone at a number listed
for Murphy hung up on The
Associated Press.
Marilyn Briggs, who lives
in a house next to the mobile
home park, said she didnt
know the little girl or her
family but was shaken by the
killing.
It sickens me and Im so
sad for the family, and this
close to Christmas, Briggs
said. Its just awful. You
never think something like
that is going to happen in
your area.
Briggs described the
park as a bit run-down but
generally safe and added
that she wasnt aware of
any serious crimes in the
area in the eight years shes
lived there.
It was not immediately
clear whether Metsker had
an attorney.

Hobbit box office elite with $73.7M
LOS ANGELES (AP)
Undaunted hobbits trumped
princess power at the multiplex.
Per studio estimates Sunday,
Warner Bros. Hobbit: The
Desolation of Smaug was No.
1 at the weekend box office
with $73.7 million, besting last
weekends No. 1 film, Disneys
animated fable Frozen.
Melting down to the No. 2
position, Frozen earned $22.2
in its third weekend, bringing
its impressive overall domestic
ticket total to nearly $164.4 mil-
lion. Internationally, the Disney
hit gained $31.5 million.
Despite its first place posi-
tion, The Desolation of Smaug
fell short of topping its pre-
quels debut. The Hobbit: An
Unexpected Journey, which
opened this same weekend last
year, gained $84.6 million. It
earned $131.2 million in interna-
tional sales.
Hobbit rules this date and
Warner Bros. has linked this
brand to this time of year very
effectively, said box-office
analyst Paul Dergarabedian of
Rentrak.
We had an excellent week-
end, said Dan Fellman, presi-
dent of domestic distribution
at Warner Bros. Of course, it
could have been a little better,
but the weather back East was
really tough last night and proba-
bly took a couple million dollars
out of my pocket. But our box
office will survive. We are right
on target to do very similar num-
bers to the last Hobbit, which
grossed a $1 billion worldwide
(overall).
Lionsgates holiday-
themed Tyler Perrys a Madea
Christmas came in third place
with $16.2 million.
All of the Tyler Perry
movies have done in that $20
million plus range, but the
weather was a factor in some
of the performances of these
films, said Dergarabedian.
Another Lionsgate film,
The Hunger Games: Catching
Fire, earned $13.2 million for
the fourth place slot. To date
Catching Fire has grossed
$739.9 million, surpassing the
worldwide box office total for
The Hunger Games, which
brought in $691 million.
Disneys super hero sequel,
Thor: The Dark World, con-
tinues to thrive as it remained
in the top five with $2.7 mil-
lion, bringing its domestic
total to $198.1 million.
In its second weekend,
Relativity Medias redemption
drama Out of the Furnace,
starring Christian Bale and
Casey Affleck, dropped to the
sixth place position with $2.3
million after opening in the
third place slot.
Disneys comedy Delivery
Man, with Vince Vaughn as the
lead, dropped in at No. 7 in its
fourth weekend at the box office
with $1.9 million, bringing its
domestic total to $28 million.
The Weinstein Co.s
Philomena, starring Judi
Dench, who received a best-
actress Golden Globe Awards
nomination for her perfor-
mance as a nun in search of
her son, landed in the No.
8 spot at the weekend box
office with $1.8 million.
In its sixth weekend at the
box office, Foxs Nazi Germany-
set The Book Thief, starring
Emily Watson, Geoffrey Rush
and Sophie Nelisse, held the
ninth position with $1.7 million.
Coming in at No. 10 was
the Jason Statham and James
Franco-starring Open Road
crime thriller Homefront,
which gained $1.6 million in its
third weekend. Its total domes-
tic gross is now $18.4 million.
Opening in limited release
in just six locations, David
O. Russells con artist tale,
American Hustle, scored
$690,000 over the weekend. This
aces the success of his Oscar-
winning film Silver Linings
Playbook, which saw $27,687
during its opening weekend in
December of 2012. American
Hustle, featuring stellar per-
formances by Christian Bale,
Bradley Cooper, Amy Adams
and Jennifer Lawrence, has been
nominated for seven Golden
Globe Awards and two Screen
Actors Guild Awards.
The overall gross of this
weekends ticket sales is
expected to surpass the $136.5
million gained the same week-
end last year. All films this
weekend should estimate $145
million, said Dergarabedian.
With only a few weeks left
in the year for moviegoers to
populate the multiplex, the
wide selection of impressive
films fares well for eclipsing
2012s box office record of
$10.8 billion.
We are half a percent above
last year, added Dergarabedian.
And we have a really strong
crop of films with some notable
titles still yet to open in wide
release, like Anchorman 2,
American Hustle and Saving
Mr. Banks, among others.
Estimated ticket sales for

Friday through Sunday at U.S.
and Canadian theaters, accord-
ing to Rentrak. Final domestic
figures will be released today:
1.Hobbit: The Desolation
of Smaug, $73.7 million
($131.2 international).
2.Frozen, $22.2 million
($31.5 million international).
3.Tyler Perrys a Madea
Christmas, $16 million.
4.Hunger Games:
Catching Fire, $13.2 million
($19.5 million international).
Wedding
Mystery man gives Tips For Jesus up to $10,000
NEW YORK (AP) The $111.05 New
York restaurant receipt includes a $1,000 tip
and the words god bless! scrawled across it.
The handle tipsforjesus is stamped next to
an illegible signature.
In recent weeks, similar tabs have popped
up in restaurants from coast to coast and even
in Mexico, with tips of as much as $10,000
all charged to American Express.
So whos the anonymous tipster leaving a
trail of generosity across the continent?
Tips for Jesus an Instagram account filled
with photos documenting the tips has more than
50,000 followers. The account displays photos of
smiling servers holding receipts with outlandish
gratuities on bills also tallied in Los Angeles, San
Francisco, Chicago, Phoenix and Ann Arbor, Mich.
On Twitter, Tips for Jesus has nearly 3,000 followers
but no tweets.
The Instagram feed comes with the tagline,
Doing the Lords work, one tip at a time.
Three Manhattan restaurants were especially
blessed the first weekend of December. A waiter in
the restaurant of the NoMad Hotel got a $7,000 tip,
another at The Smith restaurant was left $3,500,
and $1,000 went to Aruj Dhawan, a 25-year-old
fashion marketing student and immigrant from
India working at Bos Kitchen & Bar Room.
Dhawan served three guests who walked in
one recent Saturday evening.
Their order a bourbon, a beer, an appetiz-
er, a pork ragout and a pork chop amounted
to $111.05, plus $1,000 for the waiter.
When they were gone, Aruj approached
me, handed me the receipt and said, Is this for
real? said general manager Benjamin Cramer.
Again, before leaving, the tipster had
snapped a photo of the waiter with the check
and posted it on Instagram.
The tipster also wrote his cellphone number at
the bottom of the tab, telling Cramer to call him if
American Express had any issues with processing
the receipt.
After seeing the amount, Cramer said he
understood why the credit card company might
be suspicious and he himself was curious. So
he called the number. The man who answered
reassured the manager that the tip was real.
The man demanded anonymity, so Cramer
did not pursue tracking his identity.
A $1,000 tip also went to a waiter at the Hungry
Cat in Los Angeles after three men finished their din-
ner, said restaurant spokeswoman Jannis Swerman.
One of them stamped the check tipsforjesus.
In another photo, a Phoenix bartender
beams looking at his $2,500 tip.
This middle-aged gentleman came in with a
woman, and they sat at the bar, says Micah Olson,
the bartender at a restaurant called Crudo who
served them one of the most expensive whiskeys
at $70 per ounce.
They sat at the bar and had 5 ounces total,
Olson says. The guy was really cool and
bought me two ounces.
The man asked for the check $530.67
and paid with his Amex.
When they left, I saw the tip and I went,
Wow! says the 35-year-old bartender. I
hope one of these days, well find out who
he is.
Ohio schools supporting
foster kids who age out
DAYTON (AP) Kurt Holden enrolled at
Wright State University just to have a place to live
after he aged out of the foster care system.
The statistics were against him more than
one in five emancipated foster care youth will
become homeless after 18, half will be unem-
ployed at age 24 and fewer than 3 percent will
earn a college degree by 25, according to the Jim
Casey Youth Opportunities Initiative.
Today, Holden has an associate degree from
Sinclair Community College, a bachelors degree
from Wright State and he is pursuing a masters
degree. He also serves as a role model for other
former foster youth trying to make their way
through college.
I wanted to really show them that this is
possible, the 27-year-old Holden said. Im an
image, someone that they can maybe look up
to to go on and achieve what they thought
maybe was impossible because the statistics say
it nearly is.
Local colleges and universities are doing more
to support students who have aged out of the
foster care system a population they say is the
most at-risk of being homeless, dropping out and
needing public assistance for much of their lives.
Every year, more than 1,000 young people
in Ohio and 26,000 nationwide age out without
anyone to turn to for support, anywhere to live or
anyway to make a living.
A new study says the cost of doing nothing
to support those young adults is $300,000 on
average over their lifetimes in public assistance,
incarceration and lost wages adding up to
$7.8 billion spent by communities and taxpayers,
according to the group Success Beyond 18.
Building accountability
Holden works as a Wright State University
police officer and patrols the campus with his
bomb dog, Galli. He volunteers with Wright
States Independent Scholars Network, which
was established four years ago to support and
guide former foster care youth.
Before the network was created, foster care
students lacked a guiding hand to make the uni-
versity experience less intimidating. Wright State
officials heard from one student about his move-in
day experience. He was dropped off at the Student
Union in a white van with just two Meijer plastic
bags containing his personal possessions and had
no one to help him navigate what to do next, said
Simone Polk, assistant vice president for student
services at WSU.
Polk said they agreed: We dont want that to
happen again.
Now, the university welcomes foster students
on move-in day with a special dinner and wel-
come baskets containing items parents might
typically buy. They attend a boot camp, college
writing workshops, get study coaches and more.
The university also awards two competitive $500
scholarships each year. There are now nearly 50
former foster students on campus.
Students agree to participate in at least 70 per-
cent of the activities offered and volunteer at the
campus food pantry which is a strong account-
ability factor, Holden said.
When I was in foster care, theres no account-
ability. Its just you, by yourself. So we want to
build all that accountability around the network
so they feel they have a sense of responsibility to
achieve success, he said. We give them every
opportunity to be successful and all we ask them
to do is show up.
Obamas get into
holiday mood at
benefit concert
WASHINGTON (AP)
The Obamas got into the
holiday spirit Sunday evening
with a little help from Hugh
Jackman, Sheryl Crow and
Janelle Monae.
President Barack Obama
and his family attended the
32nd annual Christmas in
Washington concert, a ben-
efit for the Childrens National
Health System. After an eve-
ning of Christmas carols at the
National Building Museum, the
president said Americans should
remember Jesus Christs lessons
of charity and compassion.
Through his example, he
taught us that we should love
the Lord, love our neighbors,
as we love ourselves. Its a
teaching that has endured for
generations. And today, it lies
at the heart of my faith and
that of millions of Americans,
and billions around the globe,
Obama said.
No matter who we are, or
where we come from, or how
we worship, its a message of
hope and devotion that can
unite all of us this holiday sea-
son, he added.
Before the concert began,
the president, his wife,
Michelle, and daughters, Sasha
and Malia, helped collect pres-
ents for patients at Childrens
National Medical Center in
Washington. Mrs. Obamas
mother, Marian Robinson,
watched from nearby.
The Obamas met five of the
hospitals young patients, who
were dressed as elves.
Hey, you guys, you going
to help us? Mrs. Obama asked.
Good job, elves, the presi-
dent said. Nice job.
Jackman, who hosted the con-
cert, also urged the audience to
remember those less fortunate.
It is the season of compas-
sion. Let us not forget those
who are down and out, who are
suffering and who have little
hope: the Washington Redskins
fans, Jackman said. I can say
it, Im a Giants fan.

human spirit and can evoke a
wide range of emotions. Even
patients suffering from late-stage
Alzheimers disease can respond
to a special song they hid in their
heart many years ago.
The use of music in hos-
pice promotes relaxation, helps
to reduce anxiety and supple-
ments other pain control meth-
ods by allowing the patient an
outlet to express themselves.
That is why hospice agen-
cies, like Community Health
Professionals (CHP), have
music programs to benefit both
the patients and families they
serve.
Tony Richmond of Celina
has served as a chaplain and
musician with CHP Hospice
for six years. The pastor of
Lighthouse Fellowship in Celina
says he enjoys bringing joy into
the lives of terminally ill patients
in the midst of a difficult time.
When you come visit and
sing a song to someone person-
ally, Richmond said, it makes
them feel specialcared about.
Richmond and fellow hos-
pice musician Kim Mason of
Van Wert view their work as
ministry in the lives of patients
and families they serve through
hospice.
I am there for the family as
much as I am for the hospice
patient to bring peace, com-
fort and unity during a chaotic
time when emotions run high,
Richmond said.
Each patient and family situ-
ation is unique and there are
no formulas or guaranteed out-
comes when using music but
Mason says there are times
when family members who are
distant from one another connect
in the moment through music in
a hospice setting.
The benefits of music to the
patient are also noticeable.
I visit a 98-year-old patient
who has Alzheimers and is
unsure of who or where she is
most of the time, said Mason.
She does not recognize any
of her family but the moment
I start singing You are My
Sunshine, she is smiling and
singing along.
Hospice musicians are
respectful of cultural and reli-
gious backgrounds of the patient.
Because of these variables, it
is necessary to use universal,
well-known songs whenever
possible.
A referral from the nurs-
ing staff is the starting point
for music ministry, including the
type of music the patient prefers
and any requests but the plan
often changes as time is spent
with the patient.
Many times I stop in the
middle of a song so that the
patient can share a mem-
ory or emotion, or maybe
it brought another song to
mind that they want to hear,
Mason said. It may bring
about laughter as every-
one in the room is trying to
remember all the words to
a particular favorite of the
family.
The number one request is
for the old hymns of the church.
Often the patient will ask for a
specific song about heaven or
a better day ahead to help their
loved ones through the experi-
ence.
In addition to singing to
patients and families in their
home or in area nursing facili-
ties, CHPs hospice musicians
can collaborate with the fam-
ily and caregivers to help plan
music for their memorial service
or provide a favorite recording.
I love this kind of work,
Richmond said, I am here to
bring comfort, show love and
care and, as a chaplain, address
spiritual concerns, which at this
point many people have.
Hospice musicians like
Richmond and Mason abide
by the words of Hans Christian
Andersen, Where words fail,
music speaks.
Hospice music program offers solace

Sports Columnist
The stars are easy enough to
keep track of, especially when
they go down on national televi-
sion with everyone watching.
Thats what
happened with
tough guy Rob
Gronkowski, last
seen lying almost
immobile on the
ground and scream-
ing in pain after
taking a big hit that
ended his already
abbreviated season.
The bruising and
often bruised
New England tight end
is only 24 but the surgery for
his torn ACL is his sixth in little
more than a year and every one
of them exacts some sort of toll.
And then there was Wes
Welker, streaking fearlessly
across the middle only to be lev-
eled with a shot to the shoulders
and head for his second concus-
sion in four games. Why the
Denver receiver would ever set
foot on the field again is a mys-
tery when were learning more
about the cumulative effects
from getting hit in the head but
you can bet he will.
The season also is over in
Washington for Robert Griffin
III, though hes still mobile even
after being sacked 24 times in his
last five games. The Redskins
are so worried their franchise
quarterback will be hurt again
that he was benched with three
games remaining in the season
rather than take the risk.
If he did play and some-
thing happened to him, I think
it would set our franchise back,
embattled Redskins coach Mike
Shanahan said.
Unfortunately, not as much
precautionary care is taken with
players who arent stars. Far too
often they play through injuries
because if they dont
play they might
soon find them-
selves out of a job.
Its a fact of life in
a league where con-
tracts arent guaran-
teed and there are no
guarantees the next
play could be your
last.
Its no secret
football is a brutal
game. Tough men play
it and sometimes they pay the
price. The big hits their bodies
endure are part of the very fabric
of the game and a big reason
why the NFL is far and away the
most popular sports league in the
country.
But of all the stats in Week 15
of a typically violent NFL sea-
son, there are a few that should
give anyone who pays the game
some pause. Injuries are once
again piling up at a disturbing
rate, even in a league where
injury reports are often long.
A tally of the NFL injury list
before Sundays games showed
a startling 254 players an
average of about eight per team
out for the season with inju-
ries ranging from busted ribs
to foggy heads. Another 131
players were either out for this
weeks games or listed as doubt-
ful or questionable to play.

Browns drop 5th straight, 38-31 to Bears
By TOM WITHERS
Associated Press
CLEVELAND The home fina-
le began with several inches of snow
piled up inside the Browns stadium. By
games end, the losses were at familiar
depths.
Clevelands unshakable misery
endures.
Unable to stop Chicagos offense at
crucial times or protect another late lead,
the Browns dropped their fifth straight
game, 38-31 on Sunday to the Chicago
Bears, who rallied in the second half
behind quarterback Jay Cutler and kept
the their NFC playoff push rolling for-
ward.
The Browns (4-10) scored two defen-
sive touchdowns and had the lead in the
fourth quarter before again crumbling.
Theyve lost eight out of nine.
Its the sixth straight double-digit loss
season for the Browns, who were 3-2
under first-year coach Rob Chudzinski
and actually had playoff potential before
falling apart.
Weve just got to find a way to fin-
ish games, linebacker DQwell Jackson
said. Weve proven we can create leads.
We can dominate when we want to. Its
just weve got to learn how to finish
games.
Cutler, who missed Chicagos pre-
vious four games with a sprained left
ankle and reclaimed his starting job
from Josh McCown earlier this week,
threw a 4-yard TD pass to Earl Bennett
with 5:41 left as the Bears (8-6) stormed
back and temporarily moved ahead of
Detroit in the NFC North. The Lions
(7-6) play tonight.
Cutler finished 22-of-31 for 265
yards and validated first-year coach
Marc Trestmans decision to stick with
him over McCown, who had played
so well while filling in for Chicagos
starter.
Jason Campbell, coming off a career-
best game last week in a 1-point loss at
New England, threw two interceptions
and failed to bring the Browns back.
Campbell had hoped to build off
last weeks strong game but the vet-
eran never found a rhythm. He finished
23-of-39 for 273 yards.
Its very disappoint-
ing, Campbell said.
Early in the week, I
wanted to set the tempo
for the guys. Last week
was a very emotional
loss. It kind of took a
lot out of us. We tried
to put it behind us. We
wanted to come out here and get a win,
especially in our last home game. Im
disappointed in myself, to say the least.
Josh Gordon caught just three passes
for 67 yards, a dramatic drop-off for the
wide receiver, who racked up 774 yards
receiving over his past four games and
seemed to break a record with every
reception.
Gordon caught a 43-yard TD pass
from Campbell with 59 seconds left
to bring the Browns within seven.
Cleveland, which was beaten by the
Patriots because it failed to recover a
late onside kick in the closing seconds,
tried one of its own but was penalized
for an illegal formation.
The Bears ran out the final seconds,
ending another dismal home season for
the Browns.
Gordon was involved in a minor car
accident on Saturday, when his SUV
he was a passenger swerved off the
road in snowy weather. Gordon said the
mishap did not affect his performance
but did rattle him.
Whenever its life-threatening, you
should be scared, Gordon added.
The Browns lost star cornerback Joe
Haden to a hip pointer in the second half
and with Clevelands top defensive back
on the sideline, Cutler, who threw two
interceptions in the first half, went to work.
After T.J. Wards 51-yard fumble
return gave Cleveland a 24-17 lead,
Cutler drove the Bears 95 yards with
the help of two defensive penalties
and hit Alshon Jeffery with a
45-yard TD pass to tie it with
10:59 left.
Cutler lofted a deep pass
toward the front of the end
zone to Jeffery, who wasnt
open but hauled in the throw
when safety Tashaun Gipson,
who returned an interception
44 yards for a touchdown in the first
half, badly mistimed his jump.
It looked like an under-thrown ball,
Gipson said. I had a good break on it
and for some strange reason the ball lit-
erally seemed to sail right over my hand.
It wasnt a mistimed jump or anything.
But like I said Ive got to come down
with that play. No excuses.
The Browns, too, are out of reasons
for their excessive losing.
Ward, who is eligible for free agency
after the season, said its time for the
Browns to shed their past.
We have the pieces in place, he
added. Weve just got to figure out how
to make them all work together.
NOTES: Gordon is the first Browns
player with at least one TD catch in five
straight games since Hall-of-Famer Paul
Warfield in 1976. Gordon also extended
his single-season team record to 1,467
yards. The Browns hadnt scored on
a fumble recovery and interception in
the same game since the 1989 opener.
Browns rookie Edwin Baker scored on a
2-yard run in his pro debut.
Associated Press
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. Tom Bradys latest comeback
bid came up short and the Miami Dolphins helped their playoff
chances with a 24-20 breakthrough victory Sunday over the AFC
East-leading New England Patriots.
A fourth-down pass from Brady was intercepted by reserve
safety Michael Thomas, in his first NFL game, in the end zone with
2 seconds left, and Miami held on to win.
The Patriots had mounted second-half rallies to win their past
three games, and Brady moved them from their own 20 with 1:15
remaining to the Miami 14. But he threw three consecutive incom-
pletions before Thomas sealed the third consecutive victory for the
Dolphins (8-6), who improved to 5-2 since tackle Jonathan Martin
left the team in a bullying scandal.
Miami snapped a streak of seven consecutive losses against the
Patriots (10-4). Ryan Tannehill threw
for 312 yards and three touchdown
passes, including a 14-yarder to Marcus
Thigpen with 1:15 left that provided the
winning margin.
Brady went 34-for-55 for 364 yards
and two scores. Julian Edelman made 13
catches for 139 yards; Danny Amendola
added 10 receptions for 131 yards.

VIKINGS 48, EAGLES 30
MINNEAPOLIS Matt Cassel
passed for 382 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another score
to lead the injury-depleted Vikings over Philadelphia, snapping the
Eagles 5-game winning streak.
With Adrian Peterson and Toby Gerhart out, Matt Asiata rushed
for the first three touchdowns of his career and Greg Jennings
caught a career-high 11 passes for 163 yards for the Vikings (4-9-1).
Asiata ran for 51 yards on 30 carries.
Nick Foles threw for 428 yards with three touchdowns and one
interception and DeSean Jackson had 10 catches for 195 yards and
a score for the Eagles (8-6). They started the day with a 1-game lead
over Dallas in the NFC East.
Playing for pride and probably coach Leslie Fraziers job, the
Vikings produced quite the spoiler performance against the previ-
ously surging Eagles.
___
FALCONS 27, REDSKINS 26
ATLANTA Desmond Trufant deflected Kirk Cousins pass
on a potential winning 2-point conversion with 18 seconds remain-
ing and the Atlanta Falcons edged the Washington Redskins.
The Falcons (4-10) scored 20 points off seven Washington
turnovers. The Redskins (3-11) tied a team record with five lost
fumbles.
Cousins passed for 381 yards and three touchdowns but had
three turnovers in his first start of the season after coach Mike
Shanahan decided to bench Robert Griffin III. Griffin watched
from the sideline. Cousins touchdown pass to Santana Moss
gave Washington a chance to force overtime by kicking the extra
point. Instead, Cousins attempted go-ahead 2-point pass for Pierre
Garcon was deflected by Trufant.
Steven Jackson ran for two touchdowns for Atlanta. Alfred
Morris had 98 yards rushing but lost two fumbles for Washington.
___
49ERS 33, BUCCANEERS 14
TAMPA, Fla. Vernon Davis caught a touchdown pass for
the fifth straight game and Michael Crabtree scored his first TD
since returning from injury to help the San Francisco 49ers beat the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The victory was the fourth straight for Colin Kaepernick and the
49ers (10-4), who pulled away for good with a 10-minute, fourth-
quarter drive that produced a field goal. Kendall Hunter put it well
out of reach, scooping up a fumble on the ensuing kickoff and div-
ing 2 yards into the end zone for a touchdown.
Tampa Bay got within 20-14 on Mike Glennons TD pass to Tim
Wright on the first play of the fourth quarter. The Bucs (4-10) didnt
get the ball back until after Kaepernick used 17 plays to march the
49ers 77 yards into position for Phil Dawson to kick one of his four
field goals, extending his franchise-record streak of consecutive
successful attempts to 24.

Sergio Garcia wins Thailand Championship
Associated Press
CHONBURI, Thailand Sergio Garcia shot a final-round 68
to beat Henrik Stenson by four strokes and win the Thailand Golf
Championship at the Amata Spring Country Club on Sunday.
The 33-year-old Spaniard, who
held the lead since the second round,
turned in a solid final round that
featured six birdies and two bogeys
to finish on 22-under 266.
The victory is Garcias first this
year with his last win coming at the
Johor Open, an Asian Tour event in
Malaysia last December.
It was great, an amazing week,
said Garcia, who has now won four
Asian Tour titles in his career. Im
very, very happy and I cant wait to go back home to Switzerland
and kind of sleep on it a little bit.
I knew Henrik was going to make it difficult for me. Hes
been playing so amazingly great and he did. I started well but he
also did. He kept hitting good shot after good shot.
Garcia raised some eyebrows by playing with his girlfriend,
Katharina Boehm, as his caddie this week but the partnership has
proved to be effective.
Swedens Stenson, who recently made history when he
became the first player to win the Race to Dubai and the FedEx
Cup, matched Garcias 68 in his final round for an 18-under 270
total.
It was a good week. Especially (because) Ive had a great
year but coming here really on the fumes left in the tank, not too
much going for me to perform this week in that sense. But I
was hanging in there and I was just coming up a couple short,
Stenson said.
I needed something really, really good to happen there. I had
a couple of chances to get a little bit close around 8 and 9 but I
didnt make those two birdie putts and Sergio was hanging in
there, made one or two good saves and then he made three bird-
ies in a row, then he pulled away. Then I really needed something
spectacular to happen the last four or five holes.
Alexander Levy of France shot a 69 to finish another four
shots back for a 274 total and third place. Last years winner,
Charl Schwartzel of South Africa, with a second straight 67, was
joint fourth on 275 along with Yuki Kono of Japan, US Open
champion Justin Rose and Anirban Lahiri of India.
American Rickie Fowler endured an up and down round that
featured six birdies and four bogeys for a 70 and an 11-under
277 to finish in a share of eighth place with Thailands Chapchai
Nirat.
Kuchar, English win Shootout, set tourney mark
NAPLES, Fla. Matt Kuchar and Harris English ran away
with the Franklin Templeton Shootout, shooting a 14-under 58
on Sunday in the final-round scramble to break the tournament
course record.
Kuchar and English finished at 34-under 182, playing their
last 28 holes at Tiburon in 25 under. They opened with a 64 on
Friday in modified alternate-shot play and had a 60 on Saturday
in better ball.
The duo beat Retief Goosen and Fredrik Jacobsen by seven
strokes, matching the tournament record for margin of victory set
by Curtis Strange and Mark OMeara in 1989 in the inaugural
event.
It was a fun week, Kuchar said. This is one of my favorite
events of the year. I wish we could more team events. I realize
during the year, thats difficult but to mix up the formats and have
a partner here is just a lot of fun. Its nice to perform well.
Kuchar and English, who replaced the injured Brandt Snedeker
in the field, each earned $385,000.
Its such a relaxing event, Harris said. Its really cool being
part of this event.
Goosen and Jacobsen closed with a 61 but had little chance to
catch the winners.
It was unbelievable, quite an exhibition, Jacobson said.
Both guys were putting well and theyre solid ball-strikers, so
we knew we had to pick up the pace. But they played so well,
theres not much you can do about it.

Buettner finished second at 170
and sophomore Avery Martin
also finished second.
Spencerville finished fourth
with Logan Vandemark taking
the title in the 285-pound class
and Cody Dickson was runner-
up at 126.
Tanner Vermule followed up
his Lincolnview championship
with a strong showing of sec-
ond to help Jefferson finish in
sixth place.
Elida was right behind in
seventh as Blaine Hunter won
at 113 and teammate Tyler
Smith was second in the 195-
pound bracket.
Hunter was the champion in
the lightest class of the tourna-
ment, pinning Blue Jay Martin
at the 1:16 mark. Spencervilles
Brandon Patterson was pinned
by Schuyler Caprella of Allen
East to place fourth. Jacob
St. Johns Austin Martin ties up Jeffersons Hunter Binkley en route to a 10-0 major

Brown says he wasnt meeting his own standard
Associated Press
AUSTIN, Texas For a decade, Mack Brown and the
Texas Longhorns won more games than almost any other pro-
gram in the country.
It was the inability to meet those lofty expectations over the
last four years that pushed Brown to resign after 16 years, end-
ing an era that included the national championship following
the 2005 season.
The standard is really high here,
Brown said Sunday at a campus news
conference to explain his decision. We
set a standard at this place. Youd bet-
ter win all of them. I understand that.
The standard is really high here and
Im proud of being part of setting that
standard.
From 2000-09, Browns teams aver-
aged more than 10 wins a season, cap-
tured two Big 12 titles, won a nation-
al title and played for another. But
the program dipped sharply to 5-7 in
2010, Browns only losing season, and the
Longhorns have lost at least four games for four consecutive
years.
Brown said he knew that wasnt good enough. It was time
to find a new coach to guide the Longhorns back among the
national elite and heal a fractured fan base that had grown
impatient. His final game will be the Dec. 30 Alamo Bowl
against Oregon.
Brown was under contract until 2020 with a salary at more
than $5 million per year. He will stay on as a special consultant
to President Bill Powers, a role that his current contract stipu-
lates would pay him up to $500,000. Details of any further
compensation for Brown were not immediately available.
Texas had expected a return to championship form this sea-
son, but a 1-2 start ignited months of speculation that Brown
would retire or be forced out. Texas rallied with six straight
wins, then dropped two of its last three games. A chance to win
the Big 12 title was lost to Baylor in the finale.
Brown met with Powers and athletic director Steve Patterson
on Friday to discuss his future. Brown recalled both told him
he could stay but after sleeping on it Friday night and talking
it over with his wife, he decided it was the right time to resign.
I felt like I could stay, Brown added. I really felt like it
wasnt best for the university to stay.
Powers said he was not pressured by the schools board of
regents to help push Brown out of the job.
I was not given any direction at all from any regent,
Powers added. This is the transition of one of the great foot-
ball coaches in the country.
Brown said he hoped he would be remembered for bring-
ing joy to Texas and doing it with integrity. Asked if he had
any regrets, Brown replied the only ones were the death of
player Cole Pittman in 2001 and the 1999 accident with the
Texas A&M bonfire that killed 12.
The search to replace Brown begins almost immediately
but Powers and Patterson gave few hints as to who may be on
a list of potential candidates. Patterson, barely a month on the
job after being hired from Arizona State, must find a coach
who can handle the pressure of being the face of the wealthiest
athletic program in the country.
And youve got to win. Youve got to win big, Patterson
added. Well find the best football coach we can.
Patterson gave no timeline for a hiring a coach and will
meet with Powers to establish the criteria for the job search.
Powers insisted Patterson would be in charge of the search and
will hire the next coach.
Pick 6: Possible candidates for Texas: The Texas coach-
ing job is open. Nick Saban is not taking it.
Who might be? Here are six possibilities.
1) Art Briles, Baylor. Hiring the Baylor coach might seem
like slumming it for some Texas fans but any coach who can
turn Baylor into Big 12 champions deserves a look. Hes
36-15 in the last four seasons at the one-time cellar dweller.
The 58-year Texan and longtime high school coach in the Lone
Star state doesnt have the most captivating personality but his
offense is a thrill-a-minute. He also recently signed a 10-year
contract extension that pays about $4 million annually.
2) Jimbo Fisher, Florida State. The 48-year-old former
Nick Saban assistant has turned Florida State back into a
national powerhouse in four seasons since taking over for
Bobby Bowden. Hes 44-10 in his first head coaching job and
he has set up the Seminoles to be force for the near future. He
reportedly agreed to a new 5-year contract last week that will
push his salary to $4 million per season.
3) James Franklin, Vanderbilt. The 41-year-old has star
quality. Young. Handsome. Charismatic. And hes 23-14 at
Vanderbilt, which is almost unthinkable. He signed what the
private school called a long-term contract after last season.
4) Mike Gundy, Oklahoma State. The 46-year-old former
Oklahoma State quarterback has been coaching his alma since
2005. He is 77-37, helping the Cowboys go from afterthought
to perennial Big 12 contender. He is in the second year of an
8-year contract worth $3.79 million in annual salary.
5) Jim Harbaugh, San Francisco 49ers. Ask him about his
interest in the Texas job at your own risk. It took him two
years to take the 49ers to a Super Bowl after arriving from
Stanford, where he turned a forlorn Cardinal program into one
of the best on the country. He turns 50 this month.
6) Jim Mora, UCLA. The former NFL coach had some
doubters when he entered the college game last year. Not
anymore. The 52-year-old is high energy and in just two years
has proved capable of landing elite recruits. He is 18-8 overall
and 12-6 in the Pac-12. He recently agreed to a new 6-year
contract extension.

Johnny Football passes torch to Famous Jameis
By RALPH D. RUSSO
Associated Press
NEW YORK Famous Jameis has
replaced Johnny Football as the face of
college football.
Florida State quarterback Jameis
Winston won the Heisman Trophy on
Saturday night. Texas A&M quarterback
Johnny Manziel, last years winner, fin-
ished fifth in the voting and seemed
to enjoy a relaxing trip to Manhattan,
playing the role of supporting actor to
Winstons leading man.
Manziel was the first freshman to win
the Heisman, and it helped turn him into
one of the biggest celebrities in sports.
Not all the attention he got after winning
the award was good.
Winston is now the second fresh-
man to win the Heisman. He has a
chance to lead the top-ranked Seminoles
to a national championship next month
against No. 2 Auburn, though the entire
story of his season has included an unset-
tling chapter.
In many ways, Manziel has been
where Winston is headed.
Lifes going to change, Manziel
said. This is an extremely big deal.
Manziel basked in the spotlight after
winning the Heisman and decided to
live loud and large. His road trips made
headlines. His tweets were analyzed. He
got tossed from a frat party and over-
slept a meeting at the Manning Passing
Academy. Real potential trouble came
when the NCAA looked into whether he
signed autographs for money. He got off
with a half-game suspension.
Theres a lot of scru-
tiny if you dont walk a
fine line, he said. I was a
little bit uncharacteristic, a
little bit out of the box, and
I caught some flak for it.
Figured it out a little bit as
the year went on and contin-
ued to live my life and learn
as I went along. It was tough
but I had to do it.
Manziels missteps seem
quaint considering the alle-
gations that Winston was fac-
ing.
Last month, a year-old sexual assault
complaint against him became public and
the Tallahassee Police gave the dormant
case to the state attorneys office for a full
investigation.
A female Florida State student claimed
Winston raped her. Winstons lawyer
claimed the sex was consensual. The state
attorney determined there was not enough
evidence to charge Winston, announcing
that decision four days before Heisman
votes were due.
Winston says he felt vindicated but
also acknowledged needing to grow up
some.
One thing that coach (Jimbo) Fisher
has always told me, especially through
this process: For you to be a man, the
kid in you must die, Winston recalled
before winning the Heisman on Saturday.
I believe that kid in me has died. Im
always going to have my personality. Im
always going to have my character. But I
have to become a man.
Manziel said he was impressed with
the way Winston handled his
business on the field while
dealing with problems away
from it.
I had to go through contro-
versy and I had to go through
some things, Manziel said.
To see him at such a young
age, to put his head down and
to focus on his teammates
and where they are and where
theyre headed I do give him
a lot of credit for that with all
the scrutiny hes under. I feel like
hes done a tremendous job of focusing
on his team and on his family and what
matters most.
Manziel, a third-year junior, can
declare for the NFL draft after this season.
What could be his last game will be New
Years Eve against Duke in the Chick-
fil-A Bowl. In his Heisman follow-up
season, Manziels passing stats improved
as he stayed in the pocket more often.
Both his completion percentage (69.1) and
yards per attempts (9.5) went up.
If he does go pro and itd be an
upset if he didnt hell again be the
center of attention as one of the most
scrutinized players in the draft.
The college game will belong to
Winston and Manziel said he should
embrace his newfound fame.
Live it up. Enjoy it, Manziel added.
Continue to be yourself and dont let
anybody change from that. Youre going
to have to adapt to how life is going to
be after this.
Stay focused. Stay true to yourself and
continue to be the person that you are.

Thats 385 players with significant injuries out of about
2,000 who will play in the NFL this season. And thats just
a weekly snapshot in a league where making it through the
season without injury is almost as rare as being fitted for a
Super Bowl ring.
Worse yet, concussions continue to take a heavy toll
among players, highlighting a problem the NFL cant
seem to get under control even as it prepares to pay out
hundreds of millions of dollars to former players dev-
astated from the effects of
head hits during their play-
ing years.
According to tracking by
the PBS program Frontline,
there were 125 diagnosed
concussion injuries in the
NFL this season heading
into Sundays games. Eleven
players were sidelined in last
weeks games alone, includ-
ing four who had a previ-
ous total of 19 concussions
between them.
A review by The Associated Press, meanwhile, showed
that during the first 11 weeks of the season players were
penalized on the average of once a game for either hits to the
head, horse collars or head-wrenching face masks.
That the NFL, after years of denials, finally admitted
concussions are a serious issue and set up protocols to deal
with them is commendable, though terribly late. The culture
of covering up the effects of blows to the head is changing,
though it will never change enough for those who feel forced
to play no matter how much their head hurts to keep their
jobs.
The NFL has instituted rules to protect quarterbacks
and others most at risk for hits to the head but it can only
go so far when the big hits and spectacular collisions
are what have made the league so popular. Short of the
invention of some miracle helmet to protect the head at
all costs, its pretty much a given that every week players
will suffer concussions that could cause long-term brain
damage.
But football remains a great game and the NFL is noth-
ing if not a great spectacle. Its hard not to watch the drama
unfold on the field every week even if were somewhat cog-
nizant of the toll it takes on those who play it.
Still, as the injury numbers continue to add up, we cant
help but be reminded about what a terrible toll it is.

Richard Sherman had two
interceptions, Marshawn Lynch
scored on a twisting, triple-effort
2-yard run, and Steven Hauschka
kicked three field goals as Seattle
manhandled the New York
Giants for its sixth road win.
Russell Wilson toyed with
New Yorks defense, running for
50 yards and throwing for 206
and a touchdown before sitting
out the last few minutes. Wilson
has 23 wins, the most for a quar-
terback in his first two seasons in

DEAR DOCTOR K: My
lower back has been giving me
trouble. Could you describe some
exercises to strengthen it?
DEAR READER: If misery
loves company, youll be glad to
hear that there are many people
who have back problems. One
large survey conducted by the
government found that about
one out of every four adults had
suffered from back pain lasting at
least a whole day in the previous
three months.
The good news is that an
exercise program designed to
stretch and strengthen your back
and core muscles can help you
heal from back pain and help
prevent a repeat episode.
Both strengthening exercises
and stretching are essential. The
bones of your spine (the vertebrae)
hold you upright. They are stacked
on top of each other like a roll of
dimes. That stack is like a column,
but the bones in that stack stay on
top of each other only because the
muscles attached to those bones
keep them in proper position.
When those muscles are
weak, changes in the position of
the bones can cause pain. Nerves
that run between the bones can
be pinched, and ligaments that
attach the bones to each other can
become strained.
Stretching is important
because sometimes the pain comes
from the muscles themselves. As
we get older, our muscles tend
to stiffen up more. When a stiff
muscle is suddenly asked to work,
it can cause pain. If the muscle
is gently stretched, it becomes
more ready to work. Supple, well-
stretched muscles are less prone
to injury. Stretch gently, without
bouncing. If you arent used to
stretching, start by holding a
stretch for a short time. Gradually
build up to roughly 30-second
stretches.
Its not just your back muscles
that need strengthening and
stretching; other muscles also are
important in keeping your back
straight. Specifically, a stretching
and strengthening regimen should
target your back, abdominal and
buttock muscles. Together, these
muscles help maintain an upright
posture and support the back
during walking, standing and
sitting.
The muscles of the upper legs
also need to be strong and flexible.
When they are weak and tight,
they can strain the supporting
structures of the back.
If you were exercising before
your back pain and had to slow
down or stop because of it, dont
resume exercising at the same
level as before the episode. If you
try to pick up where you left off,
you might hurt your back again.
Gradually build back up to where
you were before.
I advise working with an
expert to develop a suitable
exercise program. Ask your doctor
to recommend a physiatrist (a
doctor who specializes in physical
medicine), a physical therapist or
a reputable personal trainer. The
right exercise program will help
you build strong, flexible muscles
that will be less prone to injury.
To get you started, Ive put
descriptions and illustrations
of several back-strengthening
exercises on my website,

energy and finally meet some of the
goals youve set for yourself. You

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 18, 2013

yourself and move forward with pride
and integrity.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)

managed to creep into your life. Avoid
getting involved in hurtful gossip.

care of any nagging health concerns in
order to avoid being inconveniently out
of commission in the future. Pay close
attention to family matters and avoid
falling behind with correspondence.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- A
good friendship could develop into a
serious romantic partnership. Although
this is a time to welcome change,
stability is a possibility if you are careful
about making plans.

Focus on making money as well as
taking care of your responsibilities at
home. Make an added effort to give your
partner some extra TLC.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --
Personal changes will have a favorable
effect on your appearance. Now is
the time to entertain as well as to be
entertained. This is the start of something
good.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Be
cautious while traveling. Stay in control
of your emotions and dont allow them
to interfere with your work. Take time to
relax and enjoy yourself.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your
generosity will result in financial loss
or family difficulties. Someone near to
your heart may try to control you. Its
time to weigh the pros and cons of this
connection.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) --
The opportunity is likely for romance
through a work associate. Be sure to
evaluate the situation carefully before
you proceed. A poor decision may
impact your reputation adversely.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) --
Overindulgence will result in frustrating
issues with your weight. Make plans that
involve physical activity. Someone you
love will feel neglected if youve been
preoccupied or inattentive lately.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) --
Focus on peripheral tasks. This is not
the time for you to take center stage.
This is a good date to change your living
arrangements or to investigate some real
estate deals.
