L adies and gentlemen, meet the Royal Aires, keeping alive the fabulous sounds of the Swing Era for your listening and dancing pleasure. On tenor (or alto) saxophone is Dick Smalley of Nokomis, who’s been playing sax for 68 years — with “some time off for good behavior.” On stand-up bass, we have the hot-shot kid, 63-year-old John Cole, who treks from Sarasota to the South Venice Yacht Club every Tuesday morn- ing for the group’s weekly gig. Cole was a professional musician/soldier with the West Point Band before retiring here. Over on the drums is Fred Harriott, 85, who got his start with an Army cadet drum and bugle corps at age 12 in his native London. Now of Englewood, Harriott’s been a Royal Aire since their early days back at the Englewood Sports Complex and the Englewood Elks Club. “I like the comradeship,” he says. “All sorts of retired people playing music of years ago.” Many years ago now. “It’s a fading art form,” he says, which I believe is true. “Most people today don’t know about big bands.” But no matter for trombonist Jim Campbell of Rotonda West. Or Jim Fitzpatrick, 81, of Venice, a Royal Aires trombone player for six years. Or the band’s lone female member: Clarice Dell’Anno of Englewood on keyboards. Now 82, she started playing at age 3, turned pro at 11 and taught instru- mental music most her life. “It’s all about making music,” says Bob Delfausse, 66, trumpeter and current band leader. “Everyone is just into playing as well as they can and enjoying it.” In all, 13 men and one woman took their spots on the makeshift bandstand last Tuesday morning: five sax players, three trombones, three trumpets, acoustic bass, keyboards and drums. All dressed in Royal (Aires) blue shirts, white pants and white shoes. Looking sharp and sounding sharp as they kick off with, “My Funny Valentine.” Then to, “I’ll Never Smile Again,” and a swinging, “Sweet Georgia Brown.” The Royal Aires have been playing locally for more than 15 years. This morning, founder Jack Demmink is still up in Michigan. He’ll be back later this winter to sing vocals and play trumpet. At age 93. “He’s just a wonderful guy,” says Delfausse. This Tuesday, there are more customers than performers, but not by a lot: It’s still early in the season and the gig isn’t widely advertised. But those here are appreciative. Big Band music is, above all, dance mu- sic, and when the band begins the retirees who have shown up here quickly leave their chairs and move to the open space by the bandstand, holding one another gently, some turning in tight circles and others gliding across the floor, garlands of white Christmas lights strung above them. One man rises from a wheelchair and sways with his wife, who bobs left and right. Very sweet. The sound is big and wonderful, the Yacht Club venue too: It’s a real ballroom with a real Swing Band, recalling another time and another popular musical style. Fifteen-20 years from now, I wonder, will there still be much demand for live Big Band dance music? I’m skeptical. Meanwhile, ladies and gentlemen, the Royal Aires continue to swing, 10 a.m. to noon on Tuesdays during season at the South Venice Yacht Club, off U.S. 41 and West Baffin Road. For a small charge at the door, all are welcome. Life story? Contact Stephen Baumann at 941-681-3003 or sbaumann@sun-herald. com. Still swinging to another time It has been nearly four years since Younique Miller was struck by a pickup and killed while riding his bicycle in the parking lot area of Port Charlotte United Methodist Church. The 10-year-old boy’s father, Martin Miller, has been on a mission since then to have someone held account- able for his child’s death. Now, a jury will soon weigh in on the fatal ac- cident, and could bring Miller some closure. Just two months after the tragedy on Feb. 1, 2011, a lawsuit was filed with the Charlotte County Clerk of Courts — on Miller’s behalf — against the pickup’s driver, her employer (Girl Scouts of Gulfcoast Florida) and the church where the crash happened. The Girl Scouts and the driver — who never was criminal- ly charged — later were dropped from the civil suit. But, the complaint alleges, the church remains at fault in the deadly crash under the theory of premises liability, because it “negligently maintained its property (at 21075 Jury to weigh in on 10-year-old’s death By ADAM KREGER STAFF WRITER JURY | 9 Warming up SUN PHOTO BY DONNELL BATES Harpist Barbara Kraichy tunes her instrument for the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra perfor- mance at the Charlotte Performing Arts Center.

At a pre-agenda meeting Monday, Charlotte County Utilities director Teri Couture presented commis- sioners with revisions to a resolu- tion that established a “hardship program” for eligible property owners in the East and West Spring Lake neighborhood who can’t afford the sewer assessment.

Of the $500,000 the county has earmarked for the pro- gram, roughly $70,000 has already been spent, she said. To qualify, a resident must be the owner of record, be homesteaded, and meet income and asset requirements. “(We) want to make sure that the funding that is available for this is used by the people who are most in need,” Couture said. But several commissioners ex- pressed concern over the language changes being proposed. Commissioner Chris Constance said he would not support any proposed changes unless the criteria for eligibility also includes language specific to ownership. “(It should include) persons invested in the homesteaded property whose names are listed on the deed,” Constance said. “I really feel very strongly that that needs to be left in there.” Commissioner Tricia Duffy agreed. “Overall, we’re pretty generous with this hardship program,” Duffy said. “We truly want to help out people who can’t pay the $500 per year. We’re not using low income levels. We’re using mod- erate income levels and there’s a difference.” As it stands, a person with annual income up to $31,200 can qualify for the program, Couture said. That’s well-above the income thresholds in other counties with similar programs, she noted. “In Cape Coral, for instance, they cap it at $20,300,” she said.

MURDOCK — Charlotte County Commissioners today will vote on changes to a program designed to ease the financial burden on home-owners impacted by mandatory sewer installation in the East and West Spring Lake community.

At a pre-agenda meeting Monday, Charlotte County Utilities director Teri Couture presented commis-sioners with revisions to a resolu-tion that established a “hardship program” for eligible property owners in the East and West Spring Lake neighborhood who can’t afford the sewer assessment. The transition from septic to sewer will affect roughly 1,850 property owners, officials estimate.

Of the $500,000 the county has earmarked for the pro-gram, roughly $70,000 has already been spent, she said. To qualify, a resident must be the owner of record, be homesteaded, and meet income and asset requirements.

“(We) want to make sure that the funding that is available for this is used by the people who are most in need,” Couture said.

But several commissioners ex-pressed concern over the language changes being proposed.

Featured EventsPAID ADVERTISEMENTS

The Charlotte Symphony Orchestra brought the house down at the Charlotte Performing Arts Center in Punta Gorda with a rous-ing rendition of Ottorino Respighi’s bold and adventuresome “Roman Festivals.”

As the evening’s finale, it brought a long, loud, standing, applauding, shouting ovation lasting several minutes.

It was interrupted only when the orchestra, under Maestro Raffaele Ponti, swung for an encore into a rollicking version of Leroy Anderson’s holiday classic, “Sleigh Ride,” which brought an even longer and louder ovation.

Roman Festivals is the musical story of four

festive holidays in Ancient Rome. Right from the start, with three musicians stationed in the audience issuing a surround sound trumpet call to the Circus Maximus, the audience was transfixed.

The four movements, in between percussion flourishes and brass coursing through Roman song, dance and street bands, also included chimes, church and sleigh bells, a French horn signaling the day’s end, and a mandolin serenade at twilight.

As the orchestra’s full complement of 75 mu-sicians demonstrated its versatility, the finale was a crescendo of symphonic sound.

The evening began with Composer Carl Neilson’s Symphony No. 3, “Sinfonia expansiva,” a

bold, innovative, com-plex piece that moved well-outside the tradi-tional mold of symphonic music at the time.

In one movement, a soprano and a baritone are used as musical instruments, singing the melody, but without words. The parts were ably sung by soprano Jeanie Darnell, associate professor of music and head of Vocal Studies at Florida Gulf Coast University’s Bower School of Music, and baritone Dr. Ron Bowman, presi-dent of the Naples Opera Society.

In between the two ad-venturous compositions, the orchestra performed Giuseppe Martucci’s “Notturno No. 1,” a delicate, wistful, almost sentimental composi-tion of Italian lyricism, featuring the CSO strings section.

In post-concert inter-views, concert goers were profuse in their praise of the expanded orchestra, now in its second season under Ponti.

Brian Presley, a long-time orchestra advisor, called the performance “a mile-marker for the orchestra. They were so tight together. The musicianship required was incredible,” he said.

“The step up in mu-sicianship is not only

good for the symphony,” he said, “it’s good for Charlotte County.”

When a company president looks to relo-cate, Presley said, “he looks for good things for his employees, like good schools and access to the arts.”

So organizations like the orchestra and the Visual Arts Center are major pluses for the area.

Ponti, he said, “is like a baseball coach with a winning team,” and as the team comes together, “its charisma is welling up.”

Punta Gorda Mayor Carolyn Freeland was equally effusive.

“They are wonderful; their energy and focus are amazing,” Freeland said.

Echoing Presley, she said that arts and culture in the city and the county are “a gem that no one knows about, adding to the quality of life.” But now with the expanded orchestra, she said, “all of it is coming together, and the orchestra is our pearl.”

Ponti said that the orchestra’s ability to play complex composi-tions like Nielson’s and Respighi’s demonstrates “the quality of a profes-sional orchestra that can play it all. They showed how good they are. The audience was blown away.” In essence, he said, “they nailed it.”

Saturday market update

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (formerly known as food stamps) participants can make their dollars stretch further, and healthier, by purchasing fresh produce from vendors at the Punta Gorda Farmers Market, which is open from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. every Saturday on Taylor Street down-town, across from the Historic Charlotte County Courthouse. Through the Florida Department of Agriculture’s Fresh Access Bucks program, those who spend up to $20 in SNAP funds on their EBT card for fresh-from-Florida produce, citrus or honey will double — receive up to $40 worth — of those items. That’s like getting $20 worth of Florida pro-duce for free. The market also soon will offer advice on preparing meals with chef presentations.

Environmental center seeks volunteers

The Charlotte Harbor Environmental Center’s Alligator Creek Preserve, a nonprofit organization, is seeking volunteers to assist with daily operations. The preserve currently provides free environmental education and recreational resources to Charlotte County and the surrounding areas. Volunteers are needed to answer phones and greet guests, maintain hiking trails and facilities, devel-op marketing materials, and assist with education-al programs. Scheduling is flexible, and all who are willing to donate their time are appreciated greatly.

ENGLEWOOD — A co-alition of the Englewood Florida Chamber of Commerce, Rotary Club members, Manasota Key and other business own-ers are solidifying their plans for a power boat race and water festival in November.

Elaine Miller — Englewood chamber president and, as of Monday, chairwoman of Englewood Community Redevelopment Area Advisory Board — said the goal now is to hold a weeklong festival highlighting Englewood’s water sports and resources.

“We feel this can be the single big event and initiative of this commu-nity,” Miller said. “We are putting this out there for everybody.”

She would not name the racing association Monday, but said negoti-ations are now underway to stage a power boat race off Manasota Key in November, possi-bly the week before Thanksgiving. Between now and January, a busi-ness plan and details will be ironed out. In January, the hope is to present the plans to the community at large.

“We will start adver-tising the meetings so people can attend them,” Miller said. “Stay tuned as this further develops.”

While the first Charlotte Harbor Super Boat Grand Prix in April was deemed success-ful, the organizers lost the confidence of the Charlotte County Commission last month after an audit revealed a debt of $56,000, including more than $36,000 owed to law enforcement and other public safety agen-cies. Commissioners withdrew the county’s financial support for the staging of a second race in April.

“The first question was, ‘Do we want to lose the boat race?’ and the answer was no,” Miller said. “The second question was, ‘Could we handle it?’ The answer was probably.”

Staging racing events in April, Miller said, “was the single biggest nega-tive toward this race.”

Rather than staging the race in April, “when we’re

busting at the seams anyway and everybody’s tired,” she said restau-rant owners and others supported staging it in November.

Also, Miller said the November race and other festivities would be organized to benefit and involve various commu-nity nonprofits.

“Ultimately, it would be to take this money and give it back to the community,” she said. “That’s the second com-ponent that we viewed as absolutely necessary.”

Like it sounds, the Charlotte Harbor Super Boat Grand Prix was a “Charlotte County” initiative with activities staged in Punta Gorda and at Englewood Beach. Miller said the Englewood group envi-sions an event that draws Venice and North Port as well as Charlotte County into the mix.

Sex offender lawsmay prove to be

counterproductiveOUR POSITION: State laws

prohibiting sexual offenders who were convicted of abusing children from living close to playgrounds, schools, etc. may not be an effective tool to deter repeat offenses.

F lorida laws governing where sexual offenders can live are well-intentioned.

The goal was to restrict contact between those who have been convicted of abusing children and any potential victims.

The state law says: “A person who has been convicted of (a sex-ual offense) regardless of whether adjudication has been withheld, in which the victim of the offense was less than 16 years of age, may not reside within 1,000 feet of any school, child care facility, park, or playground.”

Sounds reasonable. Parents obviously are in favor of this law. No mom or dad wants their child playing or going to school knowing a person who has violated children may be watch-ing them. While the attitude can be criticized as stereotyping, the concern is real because of the person’s history.

Politicians who made these laws did so with much support and earned much respect for doing so.

Charlotte County and North Port, among other governments, have made no laws of their own but adhere to the state guidelines.

The problem is, there is no evidence we know of that these laws make our children safer.

How much of a deterrent is requiring a person to live 1,000 feet from a playground? It is not difficult to walk 1,000 feet. It is not difficult to prey on children going to and from a school that is 1,000 feet from your home. That may sound cold, but it is reality.

A convicted sex offender recently sued the Palm Beach County government saying it had no right to restrict where he could live.

In response, the county’s attorney suggested they loosen restrictions.

Did they cave in?Perhaps, but the law has had

some unintended consequences, according to a story in the Wall Street Journal.

By restricting where sexual offenders can live, states and counties have essentially forced many of them into living on the streets. In Palm Beach County, for example, the head of the county sheriff’s office unit responsible for tracking sexual offenders — who must register and give an ad-dress — said it is not unusual for them to declare homelessness. In reality, however, police have found they merely move into a home in a restricted area while police have no address by which they can keep track of them.

According to the Wall Street Journal story, the Dallas City Council considered its own laws restricting where sexual offend-ers could live. A council member, however, did research on the topic and reported back that he found no information or data to support restrictions.

City council members in Elkhorn, Wis., according to the WSJ, drew praise when they passed a law prohibiting sexual offenders from living within 2,000 feet of schools, parks and other facilities where children may congregate. Critics, however, said communities are only mak-ing it more difficult for offenders to find housing while giving parents a false sense of security.

Unfortunately, restrictions do not appear to work. Crimes still occur.

One might argue it doesn’t hurt to have the laws on the books — if for no other reason than to discourage sexual offenders from moving into a community.

The truth is, restrictions that might force sexual offenders onto the streets — where it is almost impossible to keep track of them — are defeating the purpose.

Free lunch duefor reading column

Editor:I believe your paper owes

me a lunch. I lost mine while reading the absurdity in an “op-ed” you published by Joe Conason Friday, Dec. 5, the subject of which was to try to convince Floridians, who probably know better, how bad Jeb Bush was for Florida and would be for the country were he elected president.

Really. This coming from a guy whose party of choice is probably going to nominate Hillary Clinton, who has absolutely nothing to show for her time as Obama’s toady, except the killing of four innocent Americans in Benghazi and her brilliant position that “corporations and business” don’t create jobs. Pure genius that.

Her husband and mentor, the failed Bill Clinton, while trying to divert everyone’s attention from his many sexual dalliances, can realis-tically be called the architect of the 9/11 attacks for not responding to several acts of

aggression, like the USS Cole attack, the Marine barracks attack, etc., etc., etc., and his refusal on three separate oc-casions to accept Osama bin Laden when he was handed up on a silver platter.

Perhaps Mr. Conason would like more of the last six years of his party’s stan-dard bearer Barack Obama. At the end of his banal tirade, the reader is invited to find out more about him. I doubt that is necessary. This op-ed tells us everything we need to know. I want my lunch.

Dave SchaublinPort Charlotte

Too much crimein local magazine

Editor:What was your editorial

staff thinking when the Charlotte Sun published “Look what you missed” magazine Nov. 23?

In the front part of the mag-azine you talk about all the good things that happened here in the Port Charlotte area: the Block Party, Springs open for business, music at Gilchrist Park, Florida Tracks and Trails, etc. Then you go on and tell about the shootings, baby’s dead, man found dead on the street, possible murder suicide in North Port, 400 pounds of pot seized, etc., etc. Anyone thinking of visiting the Port Charlotte area, or consider moving here will definitely get turned off.

We think you have done a great disservice to Port Charlotte by including murders and suicide articles in the magazine. You made it sound as if Port Charlotte was the murder capital of the USA. We both know that’s not true. There might be things that happened before the visitors came, but I don’t believe the Sun had to be that descriptive ... unless what Mr. Porter, executive editor of the mag-azine, really wanted visitors to know in detail is that “...we’ve not spent the summer snoozing in the shade!”

Gerald and Laura BarthPort Charlotte

Just anothereveryday tragedy

Editor:Nobody is well-served by

the media coverage of events like the shooting of a black person in Ferguson, Mo.

You’ll note, I did not say black man, because mentally and emotionally Michael Brown was still a boy. But I also didn’t say a black child because at 6 feet, 5 inches, 289 pounds and having just robbed a store, he neither looked nor acted like a child.

It is misleading to portray Michael Brown as a sweet, innocent child and to publish pictures from his younger years. Mr. Brown was a big, scary guy who had just committed a robbery of a convenience store and who was charging at the officer. Yes, he was just past his 18th birthday. And, yes, I’m sure he had a lot of redeeming qualities.

But young people, and their parents (black and white), need to understand that committing a crime, acting like a punk and charging at people with guns all have consequences, sometimes tragic ones. Would this whole story have had a different out-come if unemployment wasn’t at critical levels in the black community or if so many kids weren’t raised by single moms? Or if the media and the president weren’t fanning the flames of unrest?

Everyone needs to take some responsibility and stop making this more than it was, a tragedy, no more or less than those that happen every

day in many places around this country.

Sylvia E. WarrenEnglewood

Response to riot:Martial law

Editor:For every 10 steps people

of color gain in respect, they lose it. They think it’s OK to loot, burn, steal and assault.

When are they going to wise up? I would assume that people who weren’t preju-diced become prejudiced when these riots occur. They use anything as an excuse to do the above offenses.

The police are handi-capped during the riots, because if they use force, then they are in trouble again. Martial law should have been called upon by Obama.

In Alabama, a black police officer shot and killed a white 18-year-old boy unarmed. I didn’t hear of any rioting there.

Tyler A. OpemanEnglewood

Are police officersbeing let off?

Editor:In today’s paper, a reader

challenges an opinion writer about overusing “unarmed black” as if there is a problem there. He gives statistics which show that it seldom happens and says that meanwhile, unarmed criminals are killing police officers with their own guns.

While the second point is a matter of concern, he gives no statistics to back it up.

On page 2 of “The Wire” of today’s paper, there is an article saying there are insuf-ficient statistics to help us in the debate over police actions. So I have to wonder about the statistics cited by the reader.

The reader is missing the point. Should police officers against whom there is clear evidence that they are going rogue, be let off?

Rev. Jerry EckertPort Charlotte

Problems withpeaceful protests

Editor:I am not a cop, nor do I

play one on TV. When my kids were little, I told them that if the cops came to tell me you did something wrong, I would believe the cops first, so they stayed out of trouble. Not one of my three sons attacked a cop or tried to take away their gun. They have respect for any and all cops who uphold the law of the land.

Why do we have cops? Not to sit in their car and take a beating, and let someone take their gun away. I am appalled at the president of the USA. and church leaders

for not sticking up for this cop, who was scared out of his mind! This cop should not have been allowed to resign, he is not guilty of anything! This young man, M. B., should have known if he strikes a cop, he was going to get shot!

To you peaceful protesters, why did you let people start fires and shoot at people and just stand there and do nothing to stop those peaceful protesters? Your taxpayers’ money is going to have to re-build this mess. If you feel as I do, please write in to express your thoughts.

sentative government was a concept. In America it became reality. To survive, enlightened men formed the House of Burgesses. New England was founded on the Mayflower Compact. Collaboration between col-onies created constitutional government.

Self-government used to be a fixture in America. As the frontier pushed westward and in the rush for gold or oil, communities were formed and governments established by a people practiced in the art of self-control.

Environment is everything. Survival dependent on individuals and the need for cooperation produced a self-reliant, practical people, a homogeneous group with values forged on the Bible and the winnowing necessi-ties of life.

The environment has changed, modern life is a cacophony of competing interests and crazy ideas. Life, for a time, is divorced from reality and reality be-comes a creation of a foolish bureaucracy, a self-interested convoluted maze of compet-ing blather.

We have representatives and we go through a charade of elections, but who do they represent? The interests of those who control what has become a predatory econ-omy dependent on govern-ment irresponsibility.

Government in America is a colossal failure; it is what we are. Minorities have more power than majorities, the Supreme Court decrees and the imperial presidency ordains. Hysteria, fueled by instantaneous media, runs rampant. Human reason is no match for the complex senseless web that envelopes us.

Public opinion is polluted. Where will we turn?

We are divorced from the wellspring of inspiration, “Living Water,” God. “If today, you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.”

I s the market in Hil-lary Clinton futures collapsing? Quite

possibly so.A year ago Clinton

seemed likely to become the next president. Presumably she and her husband had not yet started to call them-selves, Bush style, 42 and 45. But she had an overwhelming lead in the polls for the Democratic nomination and was get-ting 50 percent or more in most polls against possible Republican candidates in general election pairings.

Ratings of Clinton’s performance as secretary of state were positive. She seemed poised to hold and add onto Barack Obama’s 2008 and 2012 majorities.

Things look different now. Obama now gets negative marks on for-eign policy, and some of the luster is off Clinton’s record as well. With the Islamic State ravaging much of Iraq and Syria, the decision to withdraw all U.S. troops from Iraq looks dubious. With Vladimir Putin’s Russia rampaging through much of Ukraine, Clinton’s reset button looks ludicrous.

Most Americans may have been content with a foreign policy of “leading from behind.” But as the world spins out of control, they don’t like the results.

And over the course of 2014, Clinton’s fa-vorability ratings have declined. Her memoir of her Cabinet service had a curiously defensive title — “Hard Choices” — and her book tour was something like the opposite of a ringing suc-cess. Sales were slim, and readership probably even slimmer. The prospect of a Clinton presidency may thrill a few aging feminists, but few others seem to find her very interesting.

There’s plenty of bad news for Clinton in last month’s Quinnipiac poll, the first national survey conducted since

the November election. Clinton runs 1 point behind Mitt Romney, 1 point ahead of Chris Christie, 4 points ahead of Paul Ryan and 5 points ahead of Jeb Bush, Rand Paul and Mike Huckabee. None of this can be blamed on low off-year turnout; the poll is of registered voters.

All these Republicans except Romney are significantly less well-known than Clinton. When asked whether their feelings are favor-able or unfavorable, only 5 percent of poll respon-dents have no opinion on Clinton and 14 percent on Romney; the numbers for the other Republicans run between 29 and 39 percent. So she’s running even with the best-known candi-date while the others all have room to grow.

Even more significant are Clinton’s percentages against these candidates: 44, 45, 46, 46, 46 and 46. In seriously contested 2014 Senate races, Democratic incumbents tended to run about even with their poll numbers, while their Republican challengers ran well ahead of theirs. If you apply the same rule to Clinton’s Quinnipiac numbers, she ends up with about the same per-centage as John McCain in 2008 or Democratic House candidates in 2010 and 2014.

Now, things may be different by 2016. Obama’s job approv-al could rise, and Democrats generally could regain the advan-tage over Republicans they enjoyed a year ago. Increased economic growth could strength-en the incumbent party — although, as RealClearPolitics.com analyst Sean Trende points out, even signifi-cantly greater growth would not point to a Democratic victory under most political scientists’ election prediction formulas.

But it’s hard to avoid the conclusion of FiveThirtyEight analyst Harry Enten. Clinton, he wrote last Monday, “no longer looks like such a juggernaut. Not only are her numbers dropping, but she is running on par with a Democratic brand in its weakest shape in a decade.”

That’s not what optimistic Democrats were expecting earlier this year. They thought nostalgia for Bill Clinton’s presidency would enable Hillary Clinton to run ahead of party lines. Voters not eager for a

third Obama term might welcome a third Clinton term.

But those are appeals that look to the past. Voters expect presiden-tial candidates to look to the future. Hillary Clinton has wide leads in polls for the Democratic nomination. But her record is a bad fit for the Democratic primary electorate in which the energy currently comes from the left. Lurching to the left and then tacking toward the center doesn’t project a clear vision of the future.

In 1991, candidate Bill

Clinton gave three policy speeches to overflow crowds at Georgetown University’s Gaston Hall. When Hillary Clinton spoke there last week, the balcony was almost empty and there were empty seats in the lower level, too.

Clinton futures were on the rise 23 years ago. They seem to be in decline 23 years later.

Clinton’s stock declining in futures market

A Rolling Stone story about a gang rape at the

University of Virginia has, in the eyes of many in the media, gone from bombshell reporting to journalistic malpractice in the bat of an eye.

The piece achieves its power with a difficult-to-read opening about the protagonist of the story, Jackie, arriving with a date at a fraternity party where a trap has been set by frat brothers to take turns brutally raping her for hours.

The details of this crime are practically un-speakable. The shock of it led many people to recoil in horror and ask, “How could this have happened at such a respectable school?” Upon further reflection, people began to ask, “Could this really have happened?”

First, there’s the scale of

the crime. No one doubts the existence of socio-paths on campus, but nine of them conspiring together at one fraternity in an act so depraved it could be something out of a West African civil war?

Then there are the details. If the gang rape was premeditated, why did the fraternity brothers leave a glass table in the room, which Jackie was smashed through in the initial attack, with the subsequent assaults tak-ing place on the shards?

Would Jackie’s friends, seeing her bruised, cut

and traumatized, really have stood around debat-ing how it would affect their social status if she dared report the crime?

Perhaps all of this happened (life is full of evil and improbabilities), but it is impossible to know one way or another from reading the story, which marshals little evidence beyond Jackie’s own testimony. Rolling Stone writer Sabrina Rubin Erdely didn’t talk to the accused students, and she wouldn’t tell The Washington Post whether she even knew their names.

Almost as shocking as the original incident is the fact that Jackie never reported it to the police. If Rolling Stone is to be believed, the UVA admin-istration didn’t really en-courage her to do so, and even as she was talking to the magazine for a report

that would make national waves, she still hadn’t reported her tormentors to law enforcement.

Even considering her trauma and fragile psychological state, this is an extraordinary lapse. By her account, Phi Kappa Psi isn’t a fraternity so much as a criminal gang committed to sexual violence. If this is true, Phi Kappa Psi doesn’t merely deserve to have its operations suspended; it should be razed, and its brothers should rot in jail.

Bizarrely, prosecution of rapists isn’t particularly high on the list of priori-ties of many of the same feminists who reflexively credit the UVA story. The feminist agenda on campus aims to define ambiguous sexual encounters as rape at the same time it seeks to empower college admin-istrations, instead of the

criminal-justice system, to handle sexual-assault allegations.

Jed Rubenfeld of Yale Law School has explained why both ends of this equation are wrong. The new standard for sexual consent — spelled out in elaborate campus rules governing every step of a sexual encounter — “en-courages people to think of themselves as sexual assault victims when there was no assault.” Meanwhile, campus trials lack the rigor (and procedural protections for defendants) of the criminal-justice system, and result in relatively minor punishments like counseling and suspensions.

Schools should be encouraging victims to go to the police, as befits any other crime. No one would ever think to handle an armed robbery

with a campus hearing and a disciplinary slap on the wrist.

The other campus imperative should be better controlling the alcohol-fueled party scene that has become an entitlement of young adulthood in America. Much of what feminists call rape culture is what Heather Mac Donald, in a characteristically brilliant essay for The Weekly Standard, deems “a squalid hook-up scene, the result of jettisoning all normative checks on promiscuous behavior.”

At UVA, the priority should be getting to the truth of Jackie’s story, and either holding account-able the guilty parties or debunking a calumny.

SOUTH OF PUNTA GORDA — The motorcyclist killed over the weekend near Burnt Store Marina was Bethany Catherman, 63, of Fort Myers, according to updated information released Monday by the Florida Highway Patrol.

Andrew Pineda, 27, of Port Charlotte — who was driving the car that struck Catherman — was cited for failing to yield to oncoming traffic after the Saturday afternoon crash. No other charges were added, per the new FHP release.

According to authorities, Catherman was driving a Honda Shadow north on Burnt Store Road near Cape Horn Boulevard around 1:30 p.m., while Pineda was driv-ing a Toyota Corolla south on the same road. Pineda reportedly tried to turn left onto Cape Horn, and he failed to see Catherman, who lost control of her bike and slid while trying to avoid the car.

Pineda hit the motorcycle and its driver, who was found partially under the car and pronounced dead. The road was closed for three hours.

The victim was wearing a helmet. Alcohol was not a factor in the crash.

The Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office reported the following arrests:

clarified the issue when she said: “This is not a rezoning. This has been zoned commercial at least since the ’80s. … It’s just the platting for this.”

Hess said that Punta Gorda Isles residents had similar concerns, which is why it’s important for prospective homeowners to look at zoning maps, which are available online.

Knapp said that there probably wasn’t an online map when she

bought her home back in 1999, and she didn’t know it was zoned for commercial use. Still, she is concerned that a pawn shop might be next. The couple said that they think this will affect property values, and since the zoning board can’t stop the owner from developing land for com-mercial use, they may fight the development by protesting the Family Dollar Store.

Resident Sandra Rumbulo said they all now understand it’s com-mercial land, but they’re still against it. “This isn’t a major highway (Rampart

Boulevard). This is a regular street that houses are right up on. I think it’s just a matter of intrusion. This would be put into a residential area with traffic. There’s two Dollar stores down the road.”

Resident Lynette Henk said she had concerns about the traffic from the development becoming a safety issue for the kids who do not have side-walks on Rampart.

“I believe the county has a responsibility to keep people safe,” she said. “A safe place for kids to get on the bus with the sidewalk issues. I just don’t want anyone

to die.” Phil Palmer, the

original developer of the proposed site, said that he found “a few problems” with the proposal. He said that he intended for the parcels to remain under “unified control and not to be subdivided.”

He added: “The applicant needs to understand they have a problem, and it’s not going away.”

Hess said that he should collect his evidence and take it to the Charlotte County Commission.

This aerial view of the proposed Family Dollar Store site was shown at Monday’s Planning and Zoning Board Meeting. Resi-dents in subdivisions on both the Raintree Lane and Heritage Lake Boulevard side of Rampart Boulevard have objections.

But Commissioner Ken Doherty worried the eligibility requirements

could hurt seniors on fixed incomes because the eligibility tests include income and assets.

“Having assets of $150,000 when you’re 75 years old and all

you’re getting is Social Security, may sound like a big number. But if that’s all they have to live on for the rest of their life, it’s not a lot,” Doherty said.

Commissioners will

discuss the matter today at their regular agenda meeting beginning at 9 a.m. in the County Administration Building, 18500 Murdock Circle.

Quesada Ave.) by permitting trees and greenery to obstruct the vision of motor vehicle operators as well as bi-cyclists and pedestrians from each other.”

After years of making its way through the legal process, the civil case has finally made it

to a courtroom at the Charlotte County Justice Center, with 20th Circuit Judge Donald H. Mason presiding.

Attorneys represent-ing Miller declined to comment much on case specifics until the end of the ongoing trial, and said their client also would not speak on the matter.

After beginning last week, the trial is sched-uled to resume today,

with closing arguments expected later in the day or early Wednesday.

If the jury of two men and six women unan-imously decides the church is responsible for Younique’s death, it would recommend a money judgment. Miller’s counsel declined to talk about how much that might be.

Testimony heard during the first week of trial included that of

Port Charlotte United Methodist’s adminis-trator, Carol Hansen. She said she didn’t want to place blame on anyone, but pointed out that a third-party engineer helped design the property where Younique was killed, and a contractor was used for the construc-tion. The engineer and contractor, she said, also handled much of the permitting process.

Bushes in the area where the crash hap-pened remain. Hansen said they’ve been trimmed since then, though, and no one has ever asked for them to be removed.

Younique was in third grade at Neil Armstrong Elementary School. About 250 people showed up for his memorial service, which was held at the church where he was killed.

Loved ones said Younique enjoyed being a kid: playing video games, swimming, singing and dancing. They said he was always smiling, very polite, and pleasant to be around.

Miller’s team of lawyers in the civil suit includes Lawrence Chandler Jr. and Carlos A. Bodden. The church is represented by Kerry John Anderson.

10 things to know

KABUL, Afghanistan — American and NATO troops closed their operational command in Afghanistan on Monday, lowering flags in a ceremony to mark the formal end of their combat mission in a country still mired in war 13 years after the U.S.-led invasion toppled the Taliban regime for harboring those responsible for 9/11.

The closing of the

command, which oversaw the day-to-day operations of coalition combat forces, is one of the final steps in a transition to a support and training role that begins Jan. 1. But with President Barack Obama’s recent move authorizing U.S. forces in Afghanistan to carry out military opera-tions against Taliban and al-Qaida targets, America’s longest war will in fact continue for at least another two years.

Obama’s decision to

give American forces a more active role than previously envisioned suggests the U.S. is still concerned about the Afghan government’s ability to fight. And agreements signed by Afghan President Ashraf Ghani to allow U.S. and NATO troops to remain in the country are seen as a red line by the Taliban, further narrowing any hope of peace talks.

Researchers said they zapped clay and a chemical soup with the laser to simulate the energy of a speeding asteroid smashing into the planet.

They created all four chemical bases that are needed to make RNA, a simpler relative of DNA, the blueprint of life. See the story on page 3.

BRADENTON, Fla. — Florida authorities said Monday that a man who was arrested on three counts of second-degree murder hung his wife from a cord, then beat and shot her.

Andy Avalos, 33, is accused of killing his wife, a neighbor and a church pastor.

Authorities in Bradenton said the 4-year-old son of Andy and Amber Avalos was at home when the slayings occurred.

The 33-year-old Avalos was arrested Saturday at a mobile home park in Bradenton. Officials say he killed his wife and a neighbor, Denise Potter, at his home Thursday. Officials say Avalos then went to the church where his wife worked. He first spoke with Joy Battle, the church pastor’s wife, who is the office secretary.

Battle said Avalos “was rambling on about how the world was evil,” according to the report.

Battle’s husband, Pastor James “Tripp” Battle, approached the office and that’s when Avalos shot him in the courtyard, the arrest report said. Battle’s wife saw him fall

ORLANDO — Flanked by pastors and community lead-ers, Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings asked for patience as authorities inves-tigate the shooting Monday morning of an unarmed car-theft suspect.

A deputy said he was forced to shoot 28-year-old Cedric

Bartee inside a stolen vehicle at an apartment complex in southwest Orange County just after mid-night Monday.

But witnesses said they saw Bartee, who is black, with his hands up as the three shots were fired by the deputy, who is white.

Bartee was in criti-cal but stable condi-tion Monday evening, Demings said.

“His hands went

down after the first shot,” said Natasha Hall, a resident at Timber Sound Apartments east of MetroWest.

Hours after the shooting, Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings said detec-tives were aware of the differing accounts and asked that the public trust the investigative process to find the truth.

“We’re here today again to reassure

the public here that we are going to look into these issues,” Demings said. “We remain committed to having a harmonious relationship between the Orange County Sheriff ’s Office and the community that we serve.”

Demings said the deputy who fired the gun is Sgt. Robert McCarthy, a nine-year veteran with the sheriff ’s office.

Demings,

joined by County Commissioner Victoria Siplin and other community leaders, acknowl-edged that police are under intense scrutiny following the deaths of suspects in Missouri and New York.

McCarthy, who has never been involved in a shooting before, will be on adminis-trative leave for at

TALLAHASSEE (AP) — Florida Gov. Rick Scott’s disclosure of nearly 200 pages of emails from a private Google account could become key evidence in an ongoing lawsuit that charges that the governor flouted the state’s public records law.

The Scott admin-istration released documents late last month that showed Scott, using a private account, exchanged emails with top aides and others on topics including vetoes, the state budget and his speeches. Scott has previously said he used

a Google email ac-count to communicate with his family and not for state business.

During a Monday hearing, a circuit judge agreed to let Tallahassee attorney Steven Andrews amend an existing public records lawsuit he is pursuing against Scott. Andrews’ lawsuit contended that the governor’s office either did not give him records connected to a dispute over land near the governor’s mansion or needlessly delayed giving him the records.

Andrews said the sudden decision to turn over the emails

came after state offi-cials previously denied to him that any such emails existed.

“It’s a violation of the public records laws (that) when you ask for the email accounts of the governor,

they don’t give you the email accounts and then two years after we ask for the emails they suddenly provide them to us,” Andrews told Chief Circuit Judge Charles Francis.

It is not a violation

of law to have a private email account, but it would be a violation if someone asked for emails and the governor’s office failed to turn them over. Andrews has cited past letters from the Scott administration and from Scott’s attorney contending that they had previously turned over all records.

Thomas Bishop, a private attorney hired by the Scott administration, argued unsuccessfully that Andrews should not be allowed to amend his ongoing lawsuit to include new charges against the governor.

He maintained that the governor’s office has turned over all records requested by Andrews.

“Whatever beef this petitioner has with the production is a matter for the ballot box, it is not a matter for this court, it is not a matter of law, it’s a matter of politics,” said Bishop, whose firm has gotten two state contracts worth $115,000 to defend the Scott administration.

Francis instead gave Andrews 20 days to amend his lawsuit — and then 20 days for the Scott

4-year low(Bloomberg) — The

average price of regular gasoline at U.S. pumps slid to the lowest level since Sept. 24, 2010, dropping 12.35 cents in the two weeks ended Dec. 5 to $2.7181 a gallon, according to a survey by Lundberg Survey Inc.

Prices are also 56.09 cents lower than a year ago, according to the survey, which is based on information obtained at about 2,500 filling stations by the Camarillo, Calif.-based company. The price discount is substantial and will contribute to a healthier level of U.S. gasoline de-mand, according to Trilby Lundberg, the president of Lundberg Survey.

US unveils federal law enforcement

profiling banWASHINGTON (AP)

— The Obama adminis-tration issued guidelines Monday that ban federal law enforcement from profiling on the basis of religion, national origin and other characteristics, protocols the Justice Department hopes could be a model for local departments as the nation tackles questions about the role race plays in policing.

The policy, which expands decade-old guidelines established under the Bush adminis-tration, also will require new training and data collection.

Civil rights advocates said they welcomed the broader protections, but were disappointed that the guidelines will exempt security screening in airports and border checkpoints and won’t be binding on local and state police agencies.

Michigan man held on $1M bond in train stabbings

NILES, Mich. (AP) — A man accused of stabbing four people while on an Amtrak train in southwest Michigan is being held on a $1 million bond after pleading not guilty to attempted murder charges.

Bond was set for 44-year-old Michael D. Williams during a hear-ing Monday in Berrien County court. Williams appeared by video from jail and requested a court-appointed attorney.

He is accused of stabbing a conductor and three other people when the train stopped Friday night in Niles, near the Indiana border. Police stopped Williams with a stun gun.

Investigators don’t believe Williams knew the victims. Police said Monday that the victims were in stable condition.

Paul Allen donates $100M to support

cell research(Washington Post) —

Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen is donating $100 million of his fortune to launch what he calls an “industrial-scale” effort to understand the basic building block of all living things: the cell.

The funds will go to the creation of a new institute based in Seattle that will construct a comprehen-sive visual database and predictive model of differ-ent types of cells, from cancer-ridden ones to neurons — an effort that Allen said he hopes will help accelerate research into medical treatments and cures around the world.

In a phone interview

prior to the announce-ment of the gift on Monday, Allen said that there has been much research in recent years on genes and how they influence disease, but there is a gap in knowl-edge of the intermediate step: How do those genes influence the composition, shape and functioning of cells — the smallest units of life with the ability to replicate independently — and how do those variations affect disease?

“Cells are fundamental to every known human disease. ... If you can get a better understanding of how those cell processes come into focus, that can give you further insight into normal cell func-tioning and disease states that everyone wants to attack,” Allen said.

Death toll from GM ignition switches

Feinberg says he has received 239 death claims and 2,023 injury claims since August.

The fund so far has deemed a total of 89 claims eligible for compensation.

Massive downtown L.A. fire burns three towers

LOS ANGELES (LA Times) — A massive fire in downtown Los Angeles early Monday engulfed an apartment tower under construction, damaged two other buildings and left freeways and roads closed.

More than 250 firefight-ers battled the blaze at an apartment tower under construction, Los Angeles Fire Department spokes-man David Ortiz said. The building contained 1.3 million square feet of floor space, and officials said two-thirds of it was consumed by flames.

Firefighters used the 110 Freeway to set up equipment to fight the blaze.

The bulk of the fire was put out in 90 minutes but firefighters continue to deal with hot spots, LAFD Chief Ralph Terrazas said.

Former Madoff exec gets 10 years

NEW YORK (AP) — Bernard Madoff’s ex-di-rector of operations for investments was sentenced Monday to 10 years in prison by a judge who cited the fraud’s “smoldering ruins” as she kicked off an eight-day stretch during which she will announce the punishments of four other former Madoff workers.

“You lived a prestigious and luxurious life for decades. We now all know it was supported by a massive fraud,” U.S. District Judge Laura Taylor Swain told 67-year-old Daniel Bonventre after she announced his sentence, including an order to forfeit $155 billion. “We all live among the smoldering ruins literally of thousands of lives, yours included.”

Police: Man put gun in baby seat WICHITA, Kan. (AP)

— Wichita police say a 20-year-old man has been arrested after placing a loaded, cocked gun in a car seat with his infant daughter.

The Wichita Eagle

reports the man was arrested late Sunday night after he burst into a house and demanded at gunpoint to be given the girl.

Police say he “threat-ened to shoot everyone if he did not get his baby” and pointed the gun at several people inside the home.

Police say he put the baby in a car seat and placed his gun next to her and tried to leave. Officers were called to the scene and arrested him there.

The man was booked into Sedgwick County Jail on suspicion of aggravated assault with a firearm, aggravated burglary and child endangerment.

Tom Hanks, Sting among 5 Kennedy Center honoreesWASHINGTON (AP)

— Tom Hanks and Sting joined Lily Tomlin, singer Al Green and ballerina Patricia McBride in being awarded this year’s Kennedy Center Honors for influencing American culture through the arts.

Top performers and power players from Hollywood, Broadway and Washington gathered Sunday to salute them in a

gala performance. The show hosted by Stephen Colbert will be broadcast Dec. 30 on CBS.

David Letterman led a series of tributes for Hanks, reciting some of the actor’s unforgettable lines from his movies:

“Momma always said life is like a box of chocolates.”

“There’s no crying in baseball!”

“Houston, we have a problem.”

Filmmaker Steven Spielberg, who collab-orated with Hanks on many projects, said “America’s favorite son” has opened a window on the nation with movies that include “Philadelphia,” “A League of Their Own,” “Forrest Gump,” “Apollo 13” and “Saving Private Ryan.”

“Tom loves his coun-try,” Spielberg said.

French Toast Crunch returns as cereal sales slidePORTLAND, Ore. (AP) —

General Mills said Monday that it’s bringing back popular ’90s cereal French Toast Crunch in a nod to nostalgia.

The food maker says the move is purely a response to consumer demand, but it comes as General Mills and other cereal makers are coping with weaker cereal sales due to chang-ing consumer tastes.

Cereal sales have slid as alternatives such as Greek yogurt and breakfast sandwiches have gained popularity. And last month, General Mills, which also makes foods such as Yoplait yogurt and Progresso soup, cut its sales and profit outlook for the year, citing persistent sales weakness in the food industry.

The company has tweaked other parts of its cereal lineup recently in an attempt to boost sales. It gave Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal a stronger cinnamon taste, made Cheerios without geneti-cally modified ingredients and released a new line of Cheerios with added protein.

General Mills said French Toast Crunch, which was discontinued in 2006, is its most requested cereal for rerelease.

GAITHERSBURG, Md. (AP) — A small, private jet crashed into a house in Maryland’s Montgomery County on Monday, killing a woman and her young sons in-side the home and three people on the aircraft, authorities said.

The jet slammed into the home just before lunchtime in Gaithersburg, a Washington, D.C., sub-urb, Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Chief Steve Lohr said during a news conference.

Authorities quickly said three people in the plane had been killed but it took hours for them to sweep the home and confirm that three people were inside when the plane crashed. They were later identified as a woman and her two sons, a month-old infant and a 3-year-old, said Montgomery County Police Chief J. Thomas Manger.

He would only identify them by their last name: Gemmell.

Neighbors and

property records identify the home’s residents as Ken and Marie Gemmell.

The two-story, wood-frame home was gutted by the impact of the crash and ensuing blaze. The first floor was nearly completely blown out and smoke drifted from a gaping hole in what was left of the collapsing roof. Two adjacent homes also had significant damage, with one of them clearly having caught fire, as well.

Fred Pedreira, 67, who lives near the crash site, said he had just returned home from the grocery

store and was parking his car when he saw the jet and immediately knew something was wrong.

“This guy, when I saw him, for a fast jet with the wheels down, I said, ‘I think he’s coming in too low,’” Pedreira told The Associated Press. “Then he was 90 degrees — sideways — and then he went belly-up into the house and it was a ball of fire. It was terrible.

“I tell you, I got goose-bumps when I saw it,” Pedreira said. “I said, ‘My God, those are people in that plane.’”

NEW YORK (AP) — While Britain’s Prince William met with President Barack Obama at the Oval Office on Monday, his wife, Kate, toured a child develop-ment center with New York City’s first lady, Chirlane McCray.

On the first full day of a trip partly devoted to discussing conservation and education issues, Kate visited a Harlem or-ganization that provides afterschool programs, psychotherapy, parent education and other services to about 3,300 children and families each year. Meanwhile, William was scheduled to attend a World Bank conference and discuss illegal wildlife trafficking.

Kate, dressed in a black coat by the British fashion brand Goat, was greeted with cheers from a crowd of several dozen spectators as she stepped out of a black SUV and shook hands with McCray.

Kate met with chil-dren and staffers at the Northside Center for Child Development, wrapping some presents for the children and leaving the staff with an impression of a

down-to-earth duchess, clinical intake coordina-tor Jennifer Hogan said.

“There are many places she could have picked in New York, and we’re very proud she visited us,” Hogan said. The 68-year-old organization was co-founded by educa-tor and psychologist Kenneth B. Clark, whose pioneering study on the effects of racial dis-crimination was cited in the Supreme Court’s 1954 decision to strike down public school segregation.

After about an hour-long visit, the duchess and the first lady

exchanged handshakes with several mothers — and leaned down to shake hands with chil-dren — who gathered outside as the two left.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are making their first official visit to the U.S. since a 2011 trip to California and are getting their first taste of the Big Apple. William also is visiting the nation’s capital for the first time, though he and the president met while Obama was in the United Kingdom. The prince also met briefly Monday with Vice President Joe Biden.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — The Northeast is bracing for a strong, slow-moving storm expected to bring heavy rains and high winds to a wide swath of the coast and a half-foot or more of snow to some inland areas.

The messy system moving into the region threatens to bring 2 or more inches of rain to southern New England on Tuesday, the National Weather Service said. Wet, heavy snow and gusty winds farther inland could take down tree limbs and cut power.

Flood watches are in effect in Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island beginning Tuesday morning and stretching into the evening, with sig-nificant flooding possible in urban areas and areas with poor drainage.

Some coastal areas are

also bracing for high winds. The weather service is predicting winds of 15 to 25 mph with gusts of 50 mph possible.

“It’s a significant coastal storm that’s going to be approaching southern New England from the south” on Monday night, said Kim Buttrick, a National Weather Service meteo-rologist based in Taunton, Mass. “We do have multiple hazards with this storm. ... There’s a lot going on.”

Minimal snowfall is expected along the heav-ily traveled Interstate 95 corridor from Philadelphia to Boston, but winter weather advisories have been issued for parts of Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusetts and New Hampshire that are farther inland.

In Massachusetts, the storm is expected to bring

mostly rain and strong winds to the eastern part of the state, but some parts of western Massachusetts could see 6 or more inches of snow on Tuesday.

Some higher elevations, including New York’s Catskills and Adirondacks, could get up to 2 feet of snow through Thursday before the plodding storm takes its leave.

The heavy, wet snow and gusty winds could combine to bring down tree limbs and power lines, causing outages.

In New Hampshire, which is expecting a mix of rain, snow and sleet, power companies were making preparations for the storm, which comes less than two weeks after nasty Thanksgiving weather knocked out electricity to more than 200,000 people.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Scientists in a lab used a powerful laser to re-cre-ate what might have been the original spark of life on Earth.

The researchers zapped clay and a chem-ical soup with the laser to simulate the energy of a speeding asteroid smashing into the planet. They ended up creating what can be considered crucial pieces of the building blocks of life.

The findings do not prove that this is how life started on Earth about 4 billion years ago, and some scientists were

unimpressed with the results. But the exper-iment does bolster the long-held theory.

“These findings sug-gest that the emergence of terrestrial life is not the result of an accident but a direct consequence of the conditions on the primordial Earth and its surroundings,” the researchers concluded in the study published Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

The laser-zapping pro-duced all four chemical bases needed to make

RNA, a simpler relative of DNA, the blueprint of life. From these bases, there are many still-mysterious steps that must happen for life to emerge. But this is a potential starting point in that process.

Scientists have been able to make these RNA bases other ways, using chemical mixes and pres-sure, but this is the first experiment to test the theory that the energy from a space crash could trigger the crucial chem-ical reaction, said lead author Svatopluk Civis of the Heyrovsky Institute

of Physical Chemistry in Prague.

Civis said the scien-tists used a laser almost 500 feet long that for a fraction of a second zapped the chemical soup with an invisible beam. The power was so intense and concentrat-ed that Civis said that for less than a billionth of a second, it was equiv-alent to the output of a couple of nuclear power plants. It produced what would be around a billion kilowatts of energy for that sliver of time over a fraction of an inch, generating

heat of more than 7,600 degrees Fahrenheit, the researchers said.

Some of the earliest life on Earth seemed to coincide with a period called the Late Heavy Bombardment, when the solar system’s asteroid belt was bigger and stray space rocks hit our planet more often, said study co-author David Nesvorny, a planetary scientist at the Southwest Research Institute in Colorado.

At the time, asteroids were bombarding Earth 10 times more frequently than before or after.

Outside experts were divided about the impor-tance of the experiment.

Steve Benner, a prom-inent biological chemist at the Foundation for Applied Molecular Evolution in Florida, said it is quite relevant because it produced the starting material that would have been around in an early Earth.

But John Sutherland of the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, England, said the amount pro-duced of one base was so small that the results don’t seem relevant.

Scientists re-create what may be life’s first spark

MIAMI (AP) — Three good Samaritans were killed Sunday night when they were struck by a car after they’d stopped along a dark, two-lane road in the Florida Everglades to assist another motorist whose vehicle hit a black bear.

The accident took place on Snake Road, which is in the Big Cypress Seminole Reservation, about 18 miles north of Alligator Alley and about halfway between Fort Lauderdale and Naples.

Seminole police

spokesman Gary Bitner told The Associated Press that Caroline Billie, a tribe member, was driving a sports utility vehicle when she saw the bear crossing the road just before 7 p.m. Sunday and couldn’t stop in time to avoid hitting it.

The bear was killed, and the impact damaged Billie’s vehicle to the extent that she wasn’t able to drive it. A short time later, three vehicles that were traveling together stopped on the side of the road to assist the woman.

Eight people who were in those three vehicles were standing on the side of the road. Another vehicle, heading in the opposite direction and driven by Gary McInturff of Hollywood, hit the SUV and sideswiped one of the stopped vehicles, sending it into the people on the road’s shoulder, Bitner said.

Billie and McInturff were not seriously injured.

The area would have been dark at the time and there are no street lights, Bitner added. The

crash occurred just north of the line separating Broward and Hendry counties, which is inside the reservation.

The three killed were identified by the Seminole Police Department as Yoel Menendez, 44; Ricoberto Llanez, 43; and Alain Navarro, 46; all residents of Miami-Dade County.

The Broward Sheriff’s Office sent helicopters to fly four people to a trauma center in Fort Lauderdale. Four others were taken by ambulance to Fort Lauderdale and

a hospital in nearby Hollywood.

Bitner said five of the injured were treated and released. The other three were admitted to the hospital but are not be-lieved to have life-threat-ening injuries: Jose Vega and Mario Cecilio, both of Miami-Dade County, and a juvenile passenger in McInturff’s vehicle.

Investigators remained at the scene through-out the night and into Monday morning.

“They are still trying to figure everything out,” Bitner said.

The bear was a 300-pound adult male, according to Carli Segelson, spokeswoman for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

WINTER SPRINGS (AP) — Five male high school students accused of sexually battering a female student were ordered released from jail after their arraignment was postponed until next month.

Orlando television sta-tion WKMG reports that a judge gave the order to release the five Winter Springs High School students on Monday. No formal charges have been filed yet against the teens as the investigation continues.

A sixth student is being held on $35,000 bond, and he remained in jail.

Winter Springs police Chief Kevin Brunelle said last month that the girl recorded part of the attack on her iPod.

The teens have been in jail since mid-November.

Scott takes ‘interim’ off DCF

chief’s titleTALLAHASSEE (AP) —

Gov. Rick Scott has made Mike Carroll his per-manent secretary of the Department of Children & Families.

Scott on Monday removed the “interim” from Carroll’s title. He was initially appointed in April as DCF was strug-gling with intense media scrutiny over hundreds of child abuse-related deaths.

A nearly 25-year vet-eran of the department, Carroll most recently had been the regional managing director for an 11-county area encom-passing southwest Florida and the Tampa Bay area.

DAYTONA BEACH (AP) — Authorities say a man fell to his death at the Ocean Walk Shoppes complex in Daytona Beach.

The victim didn’t have identification when

police and rescue crews found him Sunday morning.

The Daytona Beach News-Journal reports police were called to the area Sunday about a hit-and-run crash. When they arrived they found the man believed to be in his 20s on the sidewalk near the shopping complex. He was bleeding and unresponsive.

Ocean Walk security provided video sur-veillance that showed the man falling from a fifth-story balcony.

Police say three people witnessed the incident. Their statements have not been released.

So far police have not been able to identify the man.

Florida man charged with triggering a car crash that killed a child testified he didn’t realize the serious-ness of the accident when he left the scene.

Robert Corchado testified Monday that he thought he had just caused a minor bump.

Authorities say a Dodge Durango driven by Corchado rear-ended a Toyota Solara last spring. The impact propelled the Solara into the day care building, killing a 4-year-old girl and injuring more than a dozen others.

Corchado is charged with leaving the scene of an accident with death and injuries.

Today is Tuesday, Dec. 9, the 343rd day of 2014. There are 22 days left in the year.

Today in history

On Dec. 9, 1854, Alfred, Lord Tennyson’s famous poem, “The Charge of the Light Brigade,” was published in England.

On this date

In 1608, English poet John Milton was born in London.

In 1911, an explosion inside the Cross Mountain coal mine near Briceville, Tenn., killed 84 workers. (Five were rescued.)

In 1940, British troops opened their first major offensive in North Africa during World War II.

In 1942, the Aram Khachatu-rian ballet “Gayane,” featuring the surging “Sabre Dance,” was first performed by Russia’s Kirov Ballet.

In 1958, the anti-communist John Birch Society was formed in Indianapolis.

In 1962, the Petrified Forest in Arizona was designated a national park.

In 1965, “A Charlie Brown Christmas,” the first animated special featuring characters from the “Peanuts” comic strip by Charles M. Schulz, was first broadcast by CBS-TV.

In 1971, Nobel Peace laureate Ralph Bunche died in New York.

In 1982, special Watergate prosecutor Leon Jaworski died at his Wimberley, Texas, ranch at age 77.

In 1984, the five-day-old hijacking of a Kuwaiti jetliner that claimed the lives of two Americans ended as Iranian security men seized control of the plane, which was parked at Tehran airport.

In 1987, the first Palestinian intefadeh, or uprising, began as riots broke out in Gaza and spread to the West Bank, trig-gering a strong Israeli response.

In 1992, Britain’s Prince Charles and Princess Diana announced their separation. (The couple’s divorce became final Aug. 28, 1996.)

MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — A bicen-tennial American flag that was stolen nearly 40 years ago from a New Hampshire park has been returned by its remorseful thief.

The flag was stolen in 1976 while the Weston Observatory in Manchester was being repaired. WMUR-TV reports that someone climbed the scaffolding and snatched the flag, causing an uproar in the community.

The flag was recently mailed to the Manchester Historic Association from Arizona with a note of apology signed by “a flawed son of Manchester.” The thief wrote that he had regretted taking the flag for many years.

Jeff Barraclough of the Manchester Historic Association says they don’t know who stole the flag but they’re thankful to have it back.

administration to re-spond. A hearing on the case could come early next year. The judge did

tell Andrews to refrain from making arguments that voice opinions about Scott’s motives or reasons for failing to turn over the records.

Jackie Schutz, a spokeswoman for Scott, predicted the court

would ultimately throw out Andrews’ lawsuit.

“Steve Andrews makes his living by suing the state and launching personal attacks and we are con-fident the courts will ultimately ignore his

baseless arguments,” Schutz said in an email.

Andrews is suing over records related to a dispute about land near the governor’s mansion that Andrews wants to buy. During the course of the ongoing legal tussle

Andrews got permission from a Florida judge to ask Google about email accounts set up by Scott and other Scott aides. But the governor has privately hired lawyers in California to fight the request.

least one week as the Florida Department of Law Enforcement gathers information for an independent investigation.

According to OCSO spokesman Capt. Angelo Nieves, McCarthy fired because he felt threat-ened when Bartee, who was behind the wheel of the car, kept moving his hands in and out of view then tried to get away even though his car was blocked by deputies’ vehicles.

Bartee was struck by one bullet. He

was taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center for treatment. Henry Chaney, also 28, was a passenger in the stolen car. He was not injured.

No weapons were found inside the stolen Honda Accord.

The events that led to the shooting began late Sunday night. Deputies were called to a RaceTrac gas station on North Kirkman Road near State Road 408 just after 11 p.m. to investigate a report of a stolen car.

While searching the nearby Timber Sound Apartments, deputies found the vehicle, which was empty at the

time, officials said.As deputies set up a

perimeter around the vehicle, they saw Bartee and Chaney get into the stolen car.

The deputies blocked the front and back of the stolen vehicle to stop it from moving as they confronted the two men inside the car, Nieves said.

As the deputies gave their commands, they said they noticed some movement inside the stolen vehicle. McCarthy fired when Bartee would not stop moving, officials said.

Ernest Miles, 32, said he and his girlfriend, Hall, were awakened by the deputies screaming

at the suspects to “get out of the car [and] put your hands up.”

Miles, who has lived in the building for al-most five years, looked out his window and saw a deputy with his gun pointed at the vehicle.

Another deputy, Miles said, remained inside the sheriff ’s patrol car.

“The windows in the car weren’t tinted,” Miles said. “We saw the whole thing.”

Miles said one of the deputies shot the man in the vehicle, hitting the windshield.

“‘Put your hands up. Put your hands up,’” Miles said, repeating what he overheard one of the deputies tell the suspects.

Miles and Hall, who were in their apartment with their four children, said they heard three gunshots and ran outside — as did many other residents, he said.

Bartee has a long arrest record, stemming back to 2002. He spent about a year in prison for burglary, criminal mischief and retail theft charges in Orange County.

He’s been arrested previously for grand theft, drug possession and aggravated robbery, too.

Chaney’s arrest histo-ry includes possession of drug paraphernalia and resisting an officer without violence.

Attorney Art Brown said during Avalos’ first appearance in court on Sunday that Avalos admitted to killing the three people.

Brown said Monday

that his office will review the charges filed by the Sheriff’s office.

“The facts will be re-viewed by us and we will be making a determina-tion to the appropriate degree of the offense,” Brown said, adding that

if the office feels there is enough evidence, the charges could change to first-degree murder, which would have to be presented to a grand jury.

insurgency, a new generation of extremists inspired by Osama bin Laden threatens the entire region. American forces are now also involved in a burgeon-ing military campaign against Islamic State group militants in Syria and Iraq, where Obama had hoped to end combat operations three years ago.

As NATO’s International Security Assistance Force’s Joint Command lowered its flag in the capital, the Taliban carried out yet another bloody attack, this time killing a police officer and four civilians at a police station in southern Afghanistan.

Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid told The Associated Press that the group would continue to fight “until all foreign troops have left Afghanistan.”

“The Americans want to extend their mission in Afghanistan, the motive being to keep the war going for as long as possible,” Mujahid said. “And for as long as they do, the Taliban will con-tinue their fight against the foreign and (Afghan) government forces.”

From Jan. 1, the coalition will maintain a force of 13,000 troops in Afghanistan, down from a peak of about 140,000 in 2011. As of Dec. 1, there were some 13,300 NATO troops in the country.

Up to 10,800 U.S. troops will remain in

Afghanistan for the first three months of next year, 1,000 more than previously planned, said a NATO official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss troop deployments. By the end of 2015, however, American officials say the U.S. troop total will

shrink to 5,500, and to near zero by the end of 2016.

Obama’s recent decision broadened what had long been billed as an “advise and assist” mission set to begin next year, allowing American forces to launch op-erations against the militants as well as to provide combat and air support. Afghan officials have also said that Ghani is considering a resump-tion of night raids that could involve Americans.

Nevertheless, U.S. Gen. John F. Campbell, commander of NATO and U.S. forces, said foreign troops will now focus on training and supporting Afghan soldiers and police, who have led the fight against the Taliban insurgents since mid-2013.

“The Afghan security forces are capable,” Campbell said. “They have to make some changes in the leader-ship, which they’re doing, and they have to hold people accountable.”

CHICAGO (AP) — Once the lid was off the wood coffin holding the 2,500-year-old mummified remains of a 14-year-old Egyptian boy, scientist J.P. Brown could relax.

The conservator at Chicago’s Field Museum and three other scientists had just used clamps and pieces of metal to create a cradle to lift the fragile lid. Wearing blue surgical gloves, they slowly lifted the contraption contain-ing the coffin lid and care-fully walked it to a table in a humidity-controlled lab at the museum.

“Sweet!” Brown said, after helping set the lid down. He later added: “Oh yeah, god, I was nervous.”

The well-planned routine came Friday as scientists started

conservation work on the mummy of Minirdis, the son of a stolist priest. The mummy needs to be stabilized so it can travel in the upcoming exhibit, “Mummies: Images of the Afterlife,” which is expected to premier next September at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. It is expected to travel to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science in fall 2016.

The Field Museum has had the mummy since the 1920s, when the in-stitution received it from the Chicago Historical Society. It’s part of the museum’s collection of 30 complete human mummies from Egypt.

“There’s always a risk of damage,” said Brown, who did the work in a lab filled with plastic-covered examination tables set

behind a large window to let schoolchildren watch his daily work. “So we like to handle these things as little as possible.”

Inside the coffin, there was expected damage. CT scans, which make X-ray images that allow scientists to see inside

the coffin before opening it, showed the boy’s feet were detached and partially unwrapped with his toes sticking out. His shroud and mask were torn and twisted side-ways. Those also will be repaired.

Brown didn’t worry

that the mummy would scatter to dust when opened — something common in the movies. Pieces of the coffin had previously gone missing, exposing the mummy to the elements.

“The last bit of ‘Indiana Jones’ and all that,” Brown explained before opening the coffin. “That’s not going to happen.”

And it didn’t.Walking around the

opened coffin, Brown pointed and explained the significance of a certain marking, the colored resin on the linen wrappings or the gilded gold on the mask. If Minirdis had lived, he would have been a priest like his father, Brown said. Scientists don’t know why he died so young.

NEW YORK (AP) — Ken Weatherwax, who played the child character Pugsley on “The Addams Family” television series in the 1960s, has died. He was 59.

Weatherwax died of a heart attack at his Box

Canyon, Calif., home over the weekend, said Joey D. Vieira, his half-brother. Weatherwax’s body was found on Sunday.

Pugsley, the son of Gomez and Morticia, was a member of the family of macabre

CAPE CANAVERAL (AP) — NASA’s Curiosity rover is helping scientists close in on a Martian mystery: Why does a mountain jut out of a barren crater?

Scientists said Monday that rock images indicate that 3-mile-high Mount Sharp may have formed in a big lake bed over a million or even tens of millions of years. Deposits of sediment seem to have shaped the mountain.

That begs the question as to whether microbial life may have existed there in those wet ancient times.

“This lake was large enough, it could have

lasted millions of years — sufficient time for life to get started and thrive, sufficient time for lake sediment to build up to form Mount Sharp,” said Michael Meyer, lead scientist of NASA’s Mars exploration program.

Curiosity’s latest observations could mean Mars’ warm, wet period occurred about 3.5 billion years ago, more recent than had been thought.

In addition, Martian lakes could have lasted longer than previously suspected. Scientists are uncertain whether this wet period was continu-ous or interrupted by dry spells.

Meyer acknowledged that even here on Earth, “we don’t have a very good handle” on how long it takes life to originate and how long a conducive environment needs to be in place be-forehand. So addressing the possibility of whether life once existed on other planets is made all the more complicated.

Curiosity has been exploring Gale Crater since its arrival on Mars two years ago; the rover reached the base of Mount Sharp a few months ago. The crater, 96 miles across, was caused by an asteroid impact.

LONDON (AP) — Taliban attack survivor Malala Yousafzai says she is thrilled to have the chance to speak out for girls’ rights as she travels to Norway to pick up her share of the Nobel Peace Prize.

The youngest Nobel Prize winner ever at-tended classes Monday before leaving her home in central England for the Oslo ceremony. She told The Associated Press she will use her acceptance speech Wednesday to say that no child should be denied an education.

“It’s really a moment of happiness,” she said. “This is such a big oppor-tunity for me to speak up. I want to tell the world leaders: Why don’t you do something? These children, my sisters, they are out of school. They

cannot get an education.”The 17-year-old said

she had been concen-trating on her difficult school exams in recent weeks — she is pleased to have gotten As and Bs —and has only focused on writing her Nobel speech in the last week.

She was shot in the head by a Taliban gun-

man over two years ago for insisting that girls as well as boys have the right to an

education. She had been attending the Khushal Public School, owned by her father, even after the Taliban overran her town in the volatile Swat Valley in Pakistan.

She survived several complex operations

and benefited from expert British medical care, choosing to stay in England for schooling after her recovery.

To spotlight her crusade, Malala has invited four girls and a young woman who have fought for education rights in Syria, Nigeria and Pakistan to join her delegation.

“I’m really happy my friends are coming,” she said. “I feel I am speaking on their behalf. It is important they are able to join me. This is a very big platform.”

She will share the $1.1 million Nobel Peace Prize with Indian children’s rights activist Kailash Satyarthi.

The teen’s only com-plaint? She has to take her two younger brothers to Oslo.

(Washington Post) — Sunday night, the Discovery Channel aired a special called “Eaten Alive” wherein snake expert Paul Rosolie was supposed to be, you know, eaten alive by an ana-conda. Viewers were ticked off when the two-hour-long special ended with Rosolie bailing out as soon as the snake started to squeeze his arm, leading to his swift removal from the anaconda whose belly he was meant to explore on camera.

But while some viewers were annoyed by the bait-and-switch nature of the program, most snake-lovers were angered by the very premise of the show.

“When I heard about the planned special, my initial impression was that the Discovery channel could not possibly stoop any lower and this was surely the death blow to nature programming on televi-sion,” said David Steen, a wildlife ecologist at Auburn University who specializes in snakes.

Steen watched the program, but only so he could follow along with real science for the show’s viewers on Twitter.

The Discovery Channel has been pushing the special as a promotion of anaconda conservation — a way of showing the world how majestic the animals are, and urging viewers to help protect them. But Steen wasn’t convinced.

“I just cannot understand how anyone can claim a show like this would support anaconda con-servation,” Steen said. “So many people are already irrationally afraid of snakes, I don’t understand how trying to make one eat you will help their reputation or their conservation.”

And while Rosolie (who didn’t respond to a request for comment) has told the media that the snake was well looked after and is in good health, the fact remains that she was force-fed a meal that could have injured her — and for an experiment that carried no scientific merit.

While it’s possible for a very large snake to eat a hu-man, there are no accounts of Green Anacondas doing so. Rosolie was covered in a carbon-fiber suit to protect him from the snake’s crushing power, and coated

in pigs’ blood to make him more appetizing.

But even though snakes are great at regurgitating their meals, swallowing something as large as a man — and one covered in a hard protective suit — would have put the snake at risk of choking, both while swallowing her dinner and throwing it back up.

If the aim had been to get a unique look at the digestive processes of a giant anaconda, there would have been a much safer and simpler — though less gimmicky — way to do so: A camera stuck on an actual pig, for starters.

And Steen believes that the snake, while she may not have been harmed, was probably in distress when Rosolie managed to get his head into her mouth.

“My impression of the snake’s interaction with Paul Rosolie was that the snake was striking in self-defense, not because it was attempt-ing to eat him. The situation was probably stressful at best for the snake,” he said. “I just did not feel that the snake wanted any part of this and I was sorry that it was on television.”

‘Snake eating’ TV special leaves viewers disgruntled

MALALA

NEW YORK, NEW YORK — Iflife isn’t hard enough, now youhave to worry about making it to thebathroom in time. The feeling of yourbladder bursting and the down rightpanic of “not making it” in time canbe absolutely over-whelming.God forbid you have to laugh,

cough or sneeze at the “wrong” timeand when did you start to becomescared to take a big sip of tea, coffeeor water?You’re not alone in your battle to

control your bladder. According toThe National Institute of Health, asmany as 33 million Americans areaffected by bladder control issuesdescribed above.

The Family Secret Eventhe Family Doesn’t Know“Most people who have overactive

bladders choose to keep their problema secret,” says Dr. Tracey Seipel, along-time clinician who is one ofthe world’s leading experts in naturalurological health care.“They don’t even tell their spouse

or families about it. It affects their lives inevery way, influencing where they go, andeven what they will wear in case they havean accident.”“Black is the color of choice,” says Dr.

Seipel, “as it can hide evidence of publicaccidents.”A 100% natural, drug-free solution

developed by Dr. Seipel is now available ina remarkable, fast-acting natural formulacalled Bladder Control.This sophisticated herbal compound has

been shown in clinical studies to improvebladder control with reductions in bladderfrequency, nocturia (having to urinate atnight), urgency, and bladder discomfort,sometimes in as little as two weeks.

No More Running to the ToiletSince its introduction in Australia, more

than 25,000 people have successfully usedthe Bladder Control formula.Dr. Seipel’s formula has made a believer

out of 45-year-old, mother of three, BrandyW., from Brisbane, Australia.“I had a high bladder frequency as a child,”

says Brandy, “but my frequency reallyworsened after the birth of my first child.”A friend who was aware of Brandy’s

condition told her about Dr. Seipel’s formula.“After two weeks, I had already noticedchanges,” smiles Brandy.**

“I was finding that although I felt I neededto urinate, I wasn’t desperate to run to thetoilet. Now, when I get up in the morning,”she adds, “I’m able to make the coffee andeven have a cup before needing to go, whichis a great improvement!”

How Does It Work?“Bladder Control helps aging bladders feel

and function years younger by revitalizingbladder tone and function, and by helpingimprove kidney health,” says Dr. Seipel.“Bladder Control promotes normal urinary

frequency, and reduces urgency, nocturiaand those embarrassing, away-from-homebladder accidents,” adds Dr. Seipel.“The compound invigorates the tone of

the bladder wall, restoring a healthy levelof firmness by enhancing the bladder’smuscular elasticity. This reduces the frequenturge to urinate,” explains Dr. Seipel.

Positive Clinical TrialsThis natural, drug-free Bladder Control

formula has performed well in clinicalstudies.In one early controlled, randomized trial,

participants saw results in as little as twoweeks. But the best was yet to come.Two weeks later, participants shocked

study observers by reporting an astounding88% improvement in their quality of life.Thirty days later, every study participant,

100% of them, reported that their quality oflife had improved markedly.Results like these are not surprising to Dr.

Seipel who single-handedly pioneered thebladder care category in the early 2000’s,receiving an award from the prestigious USNutrition Business Journal for her work.Her patent-pending formula consisting

of select, synergistically paired botanicalslike Crateva nurvala, Equisetum arvenseand Lindera aggregata, was 15 years in themaking.Dr. Seipel searched for an effective,

alternative treatment to prescription drugs.“Those medications can cause memory

loss and have a distressing drying effect

on the body, causing blurred vision,constipation, dry mouth, nausea, and otherside effects,” says Dr. Seipel.

Adios to Adult Diapers“Overactive bladder syndrome and/

or urinary incontinence are widespreadproblems,” says Dr. Seipel. Many of theseindividuals wear adult diapers.Insiders in the adult diaper industry are

keeping a close eye on Dr. Seipel’s bladdersupport breakthrough because of people like78-year-old retired teacher, Glenda B. fromGold Coast, Australia.Glenda wore adult diapers every day to

guard against accidents.“My bladder capacity was good but the

leakage and accidents would occur a fewtimes a day without warning. So, I wore themevery day,” confesses Glenda.Since Glenda discovered Dr. Seipel’s

Bladder Control formula, you won’t find hershopping in the adult diaper section of thestore anymore.“After only 10 days on Bladder Control,

I stopped wearing my diapers. Now, Iam managing very well, thank you,”says Glenda. According to EuromonitorInternational, a respected market researchfirm, the size of the adult diaper market inthe U.S. was approximately $1.4 Billionin 2012.

Prostate or Bladder?Hard to Tell

Many men confuse the symptoms ofoveractive bladder syndrome with prostatewoes.Dr. Seipel explains, “Prostate enlargement

restricts urine flow. The bladder compensatesfor this by trying harder and harder to pushthe urine out.”“This causes structural changes to the

bladder,” adds Dr. Seipel, “Causing bladderwalls to thicken and lose elasticity.”As bladder pressure increases, so doesinstances of urinary frequency and urgency.Long after a man’s prostate woes are relieved,he may still experience the same symptomsthanks to his now-overactive bladder.

His-and-Her Results“Because male and female bladders, other

than size, are identical,” says Dr. Seipel, “theformula works equally well for both men andwomen”.“It’s a his-and-her formula,” she smiles.

David M., age 46, can attest to this. “I washaving to go to the toilet every hour or so andI had to go to the toilet at least four times pernight.”Four weeks after starting Bladder Control,

David says, “My trips to the toilet havedefinitely reduced and I’m having muchbetter sleep, getting up maybe once a night.”If you’re ready to put an end to your go-

now urination urges, to those frantic tripsto the bathroom, and if you are looking forthe confidence and security that a healthybladder can bring to your life, here’s yourrisk-free opportunity.

Dear Mr. Berko: I’m 44. My wife and I have no

savings and $11,200 in two individual retirement accounts. We want to retire at 62, when we can take Social Security. We have three children (ages 6 to 12), and including my wife’s part-time job as a bank teller, we make $68,000 a year and clear $53,000 after Federal Insurance Contributions Act payments, health insurance and taxes. We have a mortgage, two cars and the usual debts and realize we must get serious about retirement. The company for which I’ve worked for nine years has a new defined-con-tribution pension plan. I’ve enclosed the invest-ment choices, and we’re ready to participate after making some reductions in our family spending. But I’m scared we won’t have enough to retire. We figure I could deduct $250 from my monthly check, and then, after paying off other debts, I might be able to contribute $350 to $500 a month. We want to retire as comfortably as possible. Please pick the best mutu-al funds in this list. — DS, Bloomsburg, Pa.

Dear DS: Well, buy me a zoot suit and call me Scrooge; you and millions of delusional Americans will be in panic mode in a dozen years because you can’t afford to retire. You won’t like what I’m telling you, but at age 44 — assuming your balance sheet is reflective of the average American family’s — you’re 20 years too late to get serious about retirement planning. There is no way you guys could retire comfortably in 18 years. Considering the stinky performance and high annual mutual fund fees, even if you

invested $1,000 a month, you’d need more than a miracle to retire at 62. They’re just not selling miracles anymore. Even if you could invest $500 monthly beginning today and it earned 8 percent annually (which is high), it’d be worth only about $216,000 when you’re 62. That sum is a joke because in 18 years, the cost of living will be enormously higher than it is today.

So plan on learning to like canned tuna, ramen noodles and the taste of Alpo, though Eukanuba has better nutrients. You guys will be shopping at The Salvation Army for clothes and hard goods and Dollar Tree for food, toiletries and sundries. Next, be prepared to cancel your cable, par-ticipate in church bingo and learn the bus routes in Bloomsburg. Then plan on working into your 70s or as long as your health holds. And be mindful that there are legions of younger workers behind you who are waiting for your job when you retire.

In the past decade, corporate America, to maximize profits, has been squeezing workers from costly defined-bene-fit programs and pushing them into significantly cheaper and inadequate defined-contribution pro-grams. The DB retirement programs allow workers to define an annual retirement benefit (yearly income). The much

cheaper DC programs al-low workers to define the amount of contribution to be deducted from their paychecks, which they are supposed to invest knowledgably for retire-ment. The cheaper DC assumes that American workers are wise enough to make rational invest-ment decisions if given a group of mutual funds for their retirement. What a joke! It’s blatantly obvious that most American workers think a blue chip is a corn tortilla; they lack the knowledge and discipline to make investment decisions. Our public school systems should be required to teach students the basics of investing. It’s so very simple. Now that retirement is becoming a time of hardship for most Americans, Congress may play footsie again with Social Security and, for your benefit, eliminate SS benefits at 62.

Congress is considering a solution to generously increase Social Security payments (for the needy who qualify), to be financed through higher payroll taxes on workers and companies. Creating higher taxes is always Congress’ solution for a financial problem. In the future when you retire, Congress will calculate your SS income and your private retirement income. If the amount falls below the federal benchmark for that year, additional funds will be added to raise your retirement income to benchmark levels. And if your income is above that benchmark, your SS will be cut. DS, don’t worry about saving for retire-ment; your government will take care of you.

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks fell on Monday as oil prices turned sharply lower and spooked investors into dumping shares of drillers and other energy- service companies.

The drop in oil weighed on stocks from the start of trading. Weak trade figures out of China and news that Japan’s recession is deeper than initially thought suggest-ed demand for crude would be lower in those two economies. Among the big losers were two Dow Jones industrial average components, Chevron, down 3.7 per-cent, and Exxon Mobil, off 2.3 percent.

More broadly, the six-month drop in oil, which has brought the price of crude down to the lowest level in five years, suggests headwinds for the U.S. economy, said Bill Strazzullo, chief market strategist at Bell Curve Trading.

“When you look at the major drivers of global growth — Japan, China and the eurozone — they’re really strug-gling,” he said. “Can the U.S. continue to grow at a moderate pace when the rest of the world is having major problems?”

Energy shares in the Standard and Poor’s 500, a broader index than the

Dow, dropped to their lowest level in nearly two years. The decline of 3.9 percent was by far the biggest percentage drop among the 10 sectors in the index. Six of the 10 sectors fell.

Selling was especially fierce in shares of smaller companies in the oil business. Cimarex Energy, Transocean, and Noble Energy were each down at least 5 percent.

The Dow lost 106.31 points, or 0.6 percent, to 17,852.48. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 15.06 points, or 0.7 percent, to 2,060.31. The Nasdaq composite fell 40.06 points, or 0.8 percent, to 4,740.69

US stocks fall as energy sector drops sharply

WASHINGTON (Washington Post) — Some first-time home buyers will get a break on their downpayments through programs announced Monday by mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as the firms try to jump-start the housing market by making it easier for more bor-rowers to qualify for a mortgage.

Fannie and Freddie will soon allow for mortgages with a downpayment as low as 3 percent — instead of the 5 percent currently required — as long as one of the borrowers on the mortgage has not owned a primary resi-dence within the past three years. The changes take effect Dec. 13 at

Fannie, and March 23 at Freddie.

In a call with reporters Monday, Fannie and Freddie officials said it’s too early to tell how many borrowers will take advantage of the pro-grams. But they also said they expect many lend-ers to offer them. The Federal Housing Finance Agency, which oversees both companies, said these low downpayment loans will probably be a small share of both firms’ businesses.

Fannie and Freddie do not make loans. They buy them from lenders, package them into se-curities and sell them to investors. For a fee, they guarantee the mortgages and pay investors if the loans default.

The downpayment

changes mark the latest effort by government regulators to help first-time buyers who have been shut out of the housing market in recent years. Since the market unraveled, lenders have been turning away potential buyers by de-manding unusually high credit scores and im-posing tough standards on government-backed loans — including those of Fannie and Freddie.

The industry, which was forced by regulators to buy back billions of dollars in loans after the housing bust, has said that it’s trying to insulate itself from more financial penalties and lawsuits. It repeatedly ignored pleas from the White House and government regulators to ease lending criteria.

| WORLDPhilippines shuts capital, deploys troops as storm

kills 21MANILA, Philippines

(Bloomberg News) — More than 21 people were killed as heavy rain and winds lashed the central Philippines, while a weakened storm Hagupit headed Monday toward Manila.

The government shut state offices and trading of stocks, bonds and currencies was suspended. Troops were deployed in Manila to help evacuation and relief operations. Schools will stay shut today in the capital as the storm made its fourth landfall in the early eve-ning in Batangas province, about 56 miles south of Manila.

Hagupit, which entered the eastern area of the Philippines as a super typhoon, was downgraded to a tropical storm by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. The nation’s weath-er bureau said rain may be moderate to heavy within the storm’s 450-kilometer diameter and floods are a threat in low-lying regions.

At least 21 people were killed in central regions, the Red Cross said, while authorities said the official toll stood at six.

General: Islamic State fighters on

their heelsKUWAIT CITY (AP) —

Islamic State fighters have lost the initiative in Iraq and are now “on defense” with far less ability to generate the kind of ground maneuvers that enabled the extremists to capture large chunks of Iraq earlier this year, a senior U.S. general said Monday.

Army Lt. Gen. James

Terry, the top commander of Operation Inherent Resolve, the U.S. cam-paign to defeat IS, also said the nascent effort to rebuild Iraq’s army will soon get a boost from co-alition countries that plan to commit roughly 1,500 military trainers. Much of the Iraq army collapsed or proved ineffective in the face of IS’s onslaught last summer.

In his first extensive interview since taking command of the counter- Islamic State campaign in October, Terry told a small group of reporters that IS is “on defense, trying to hold what they have gained.” He added that the group, which is armed with tanks and other U.S.-made war equipment captured from the Iraqi army, is “still able to conduct some limited attacks.”

UN: $16.4 billion needed to aid

most vulnerableGENEVA (AP) — The

United Nations appealed Monday for $16.4 billion to pay for global humanitarian needs in 2015, saying the number of people affected by conflicts and natural disasters around the world has reached record levels.

More than 40 percent of the appeal — $7.2 billion — would go to help 18.2 million people suffering from the war in Syria.

The appeal also covers Central African Republic, Iraq and South Sudan, the top humanitarian priorities, as well as Afghanistan, Congo, Myanmar, occupied Palestinian territories, Somalia, Ukraine and Yemen.

A year ago, the U.N. asked for $12.9 billion to assist 52 million people, but during 2014, the number of people in need has nearly

doubled to a record 102 million, U.N. humanitarian chief Valerie Amos said.

UK lawmaker sorry over Candy Crush

play at hearingLONDON (AP) — A

British lawmaker has apologized after he was photographed playing a video game on his tablet during a committee hearing in Parliament.

The Sun newspaper on Monday ran pictures of Conservative legislator Nigel Mills playing Candy Crush Saga during a meeting last week about pensions and insurance.

Mills apologized unreservedly and said it wouldn’t happen again.

Fellow legislator Edward Leigh said Mills had likely been trying to keep himself awake. He told the BBC that during his time on a committee, “I just about managed not to go to sleep and not to play computer games but my God, it was boring.”

Meanwhile, parlia-mentary authorities have launched an investigation — not into Mills, but into who took the pictures.

Ugandan maid pleads guilty to

child tortureKAMPALA, Uganda (AP)

— A Ugandan nanny on Monday pleaded guilty to charges of torturing a child who was under her care in a case that shocked Ugandans and sparked debate about the role of maids in raising children in this East African country.

The nanny, 22-year-old Jolly Tumuhiirwe, was convicted Monday al-though her lawyer voiced concern that she had not been given a fair trial. She will be sentenced on

Wednesday and faces up to 15 years in jail.

In a video widely cir-culated on social media, Tumuhiirwe is seen slapping, kicking and stomping on her employ-er’s child, a girl under the age of 2. The video had been recorded by a secret camera planted in the house by the child’s father, who beat the maid when he saw the footage. The maid then reported a case of assault to the police, but the man presented footage of the nanny beating up his daughter to explain his violent reaction, accord-ing to Ugandan attorney Ladislaus Rwakafuuzi, a lawyer for Tumuhiirwe.

New Delhi bans Uber after alleged

rape by driverNEW DELHI (AP)

— The Indian capital on Monday banned taxi-booking service Uber after a woman accused one of its drivers of raping her.

Transport official Satish Mathur made the announcement as the 32-year-old suspect appeared in a New Delhi court.

The court ordered Shiv Kumar Yadav held for three days for police questioning over allega-tions that he raped the finance company em-ployee after being hired to ferry her home from a dinner engagement on Friday night. The court also ordered Yadav’s cellphone confiscated, according to Press Trust of India.

Magnitude-6.6 earthquake hits off

Panama coastPANAMA CITY (AP)

— A strong earthquake struck off the Pacific coast

of Panama on Monday, but local emergency officials said there were no reports of damage or injury.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the magni-tude-6.6 quake struck at 3:54 a.m. about 20 miles east-southeast of Punta de Burica, close to the border with Costa Rica. It was centered about 12 miles beneath the surface.

S. Africa: Briton acquitted of honeymoon

murderJOHANNESBURG

(AP) — The family of a Swedish citizen who was killed on her honeymoon in Cape Town said they will have sleepless nights for the rest of their lives, after her husband was acquitted of the murder on Monday.

Shrien Dewani was found not guilty by Judge Jeanette Traverso who said the prosecution did not present sufficient evidence. The British businessman was later released from the hospital where he had been held for depression.

Dewani had been accused of arranging the murder of his wife Anni in 2010. He said she was killed during a botched carjacking.

Uruguay says Gitmo refugees’

families welcomeMONTEVIDEO,

Uruguay (AP) — The six Guantanamo Bay prison-ers sent to Uruguay to be resettled as refugees are welcome to bring their families, get jobs and cheer for the local soccer team of their choice, the country’s defense minis-ter said Monday, and one

issued a letter thanking the country for taking them in.

Eleuterio Fernandez Huidobro told local radio Carve that the six, who arrived early Sunday, are undergoing medical checkups and are doing well.

He said the govern-ment will help them find work and they will be fully welcomed into Uruguayan society. As with earlier immigrants, he said, he expects them to find “a job, work to put bread on the table, bring the family, live in peace and sit in the stands of a stadium, becoming a fan of some soccer team.”

Egypt arrests 25 men in bath house

CAIRO (AP) — Egyptian security forces raided a bath house and arrested 25 men suspected of homosexuality, dragging them naked out of the building in downtown Cairo, an official said Monday.

Syria, allies condemn Israeli

airstrikesBEIRUT (AP) — Russia

on Monday demanded an explanation for Israeli airstrikes on two areas near Damascus, while the Syrian and Iranian foreign ministers called it an act of aggression that proves Israel is “in the same trench” with extremist groups fighting the Syrian government.

Israeli warplanes struck near Damascus’ interna-tional airport on Sunday, as well as outside a town close to the Lebanese border.

The attacks are unlikely to have a big impact. Israel has already struck inside Syria on several occasions in the course of the country’s chaotic civil war.

NEW YORK — The Heisman Trophy finalists would make one heck of an offense.

Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota, Alabama receiver Amari Cooper and record-breaking Wisconsin running back Melvin Gordon are set to make the trip to New York for the Heisman presenta-tion after the finalists were announced on Monday.

Mariota is considered the clear the front-runner to win the 80th Heisman on Saturday night in New York. He would become the first Oregon player to earn college football’s

most famous player of the year trophy.

Mariota and the second-seeded Ducks will face Florida State and last year’s Heisman winner Jameis Winston at the Rose Bowl in the College Football Playoff semifinals on Jan. 1.

Cooper helped Alabama earn the top seed in the playoff. The Crimson Tide plays Ohio State at the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans.

Winston becomes the seventh player since 2003 to take a shot at a Heisman repeat and come up short. Ohio State’s Archie Griffin is

PORT CHARLOTTE — Bill Specht didn’t know what to expect on the court inside Anthony P. Cicchella Gymnasium on Monday night.

His Port Charlotte High

School boys basketball team would be without key contributors Malik Vaccaro-Dixon and Sean Price against DeSoto County, and the coach wasn’t sure how it would hold up without them.

It didn’t take long for

the Pirates to dispel Specht’s concerns. Matt Washington and Jacob Samarjesse combined to score 20 of the team’s 35 first-half points, carrying Port Charlotte to a 68-34 rout of the Bulldogs that

CHS suffers district setback

By CHUCK BALLAROsun corresPondent

PUNTA GORDA — The Charlotte High School boys soccer team’s hopes for a winning streak got knocked out quickly by one of the top teams in the region.

Lakewood Ranch scored four times in the first 18 minutes and cruised to a 7-1 victory Monday in a District 4A-11 match.

Following a victory over Lemon Bay on Wednesday, Charlotte coach Alex Lebeau knew he would have his hands full against the Mustangs.

“I knew they would come out and steamroll and if we could catch them by surprise with our intensity, we would have a chance. But we weren’t fired up enough and didn’t understand the reality of what was coming,” Lebeau said.

Instead it was the Mustangs (9-2-2, 6-1-1) that hit the Tarpons with their intensity. In the 2nd minute, soph-omore midfielder Tyler Puhalovich got a pass from Pablo Vargas and put it past Charlotte goalkeeper Mac Stainton for his first of three goals to give the Mustangs a 1-0 lead.

Jake Dube, Ricky Yanez and Puhalovich scored in rapid succession to build Lakewood Ranch’s lead to 4-1. Charlotte (2-6-2, 0-5-2) scored when Mustang goalkeeper Liam Branley acciden-tally booted the ball to Charlotte’s James White to start a two-man break-away that Deven Terry

Built to sail a 2.4

By JOSH VITALEsPorts Writer

PORT CHARLOTTE — Tony Pocklington is intricately familiar with the 2.4 meter sailboat he’ll be captaining in this week’s regattas on Charlotte Harbor.

After all, he built it.When the Fort Myers

resident takes to the waters this morning for the start of the 2014 U.S. 2.4mR National Championships, he’ll be doing so in a boat he constructed himself at his boatyard in Port Charlotte.

“I didn’t start out to sail them. I started out to build them,” Pocklington said. “But then I just started to like sailing so much … it’s been fun. They’re a blast to sail.”

Pocklington’s interest in this class of boat began while he was volunteering at the 2009 world cham-pionships in Fort Myers. He had heard about a set of boat molds that were for sale; a builder in Michigan bought them out from under Pocklington, but after a few years, those same molds went up for sale again.

That’s when Pocklington acquired them. Since then, he’s been building 2.4 me-ters in a Port Charlotte boatyard that’s been in his family for nearly 15 years. Pocklington is a licensed U.S. builder of these boats.

He will not be the only racer manning one of his boats this week, either.

Belcher sets sights on first marathon

Chad Belcher may become like the company he keeps.

The Rotonda resident has been competing in the area running circuit, mostly 5Ks, the past two years.

But he trains with avid

runners Marti Stetter and Sally VanNuland, who have added ultra-distance events to their schedules in recent years. So it’s not too surprising that the 43-year-old Belcher is training for his first marathon next year.

The Lemon Bay High School graduate lived in California for 17 years before moving back to Southwest Florida. He said he completed 12 5Ks in 2013 and 21 this year. He was sixth overall and first in the men’s 40-44

age group in Sunday’s Moe’s Terrier Trot 5K, which his 9-year-old twins also completed in.

He also has finished some 10Ks and two half marathons this year. He completed his first half, in Sarasota, in 1 hour, 47 minutes and 29 seconds during March. He was 27th among 192 in the men’s 40-44 age group.

About three weeks before the half, he ran the same distance in Englewood just to be sure he could complete the

mileage. “My farthest training

had been eight miles,” he said. “I actually ran my first 10K a month after the half marathon.”

He placed third among 44 in the men’s 40-49 age group in the Fort Myers Half Marathon during November. He dropped his half marathon time by a little more than six minutes.

“The halfs were nice,” said Belcher, the male overall winner in the 2013 Charlotte Harbor 5K. “It’s

a nice challenge to try to push farther. With the 5Ks so much of it is a push and a sprint. It’s just over.”

Belcher has been running 20-25 miles per week. His long runs usu-ally are on Sunday, when he might go 12-18 miles. He runs two weekdays.

“I’m trying to get my times down a little more in the 5Ks,” he said. “It’s hard to do speed training at the same time you’re doing distance.”

ARCADIA — DeSoto County High School showed Monday night it could play strong on both sides of the field in a 4-3 victory over Lake Placid.

The Bulldogs (9-2) took a 2-0 into halftime. But the Green Dragons scored two goals two minutes apart early in the second half to tie it before DeSoto County scored two more to gain the victory.

“We played well as a team tonight,” Bulldogs coach Omar Rendon said. “We played to the max and came back against a good team.”

Manolo Mejia scored the go-ahead goal for the Bulldogs with 26 minutes, 50 seconds left in the second half as he pushed it into the goal on a fast break from about three yards out.

Hugo Lugo, the team’s leading scorer this season with nine goals, scored his second goal of the night about four minutes

later for the final Bulldogs score. Lake Placid’s Carlos Santana scored the final goal of the match off an assist from Musa Abuelouf with about six minutes left.

Lugo opened the scoring with 25:45 left in the first half off an assist by Emmanuel Munoz. Ernesto Montalvo scored the second Bulldogs’ goal off another assist by Munoz with 13:01 left in the opening half. Diego Morales scored the Green Dragons’ first goal early in the second half and Santana scored the second to tie the game.

DeSoto County dom-inated play in the first half, keeping the ball close to the Lake Placid goal most of the time.

Cesar Barajas was in goal for the winners and collected five saves. The Bulldogs outshot Lake Placid 16 to nine.

The Bulldogs have won their district the last two seasons, and are 3-0 in District 2A-11 this season.

Lugo leads DeSoto County with two goals

UP NEXTDeSoto County: at Booker, today, 7 p.m.

Pocklington estimates there will be at least one other competitor racing in a craft which he said takes about one month to build.

“I don’t know who it is yet. I haven’t met him yet, so I couldn’t tell you who’s going to be sailing one,” Pocklington said. “But I’m racing one of mine in the regatta, for sure.”

Today marks the

beginning of one of the two regattas on Charlotte Harbor this week: The three-day national championships and the two-day North American championships begin-ning Friday. Both races are being hosted by the Charlotte Harbor Yacht Club, and the field con-sists of both able-bodied and disabled sailors from around the world.

Pocklington doesn’t want to stop at the two regattas this week, though: He hopes that,

with a local source of boats, these two regat-tas will help Charlotte Harbor attract even more 2.4 meter sailors to its waters.

“That’s what I’ve really been trying to do, is try to get some local interest in the boats so we can de-velop our own local fleet,” Pocklington said. “That’s a great harbor there, and there are a couple great facilities around that can host them. It’s just a nice, fun, easy way of sailing.”

featured a running clock in the fourth quarter.

“That’s what this team is. Each night, it’s been someone different,” Specht said. “There’s a lot of different offensive weapons that we have. It’s tough to stop.”

Washington took the first crack at making up for the absence of Vaccaro-Dixon and Price — who Specht said missed the game due to personal reasons — scor-ing the game’s first nine points by himself to open up a lead the Pirates (5-0) would never relinquish.

DeSoto County (2-3) finished the first half with six field goals, getting eight points from Prince Powell, four points from Kionte Akins and three points from Quay Fudge as it entered the half in a 20-point hole.

“We couldn’t throw it into the basket,” DeSoto

County coach Richard Koonce said. “I guess they played great defense, be-cause the refs only called four fouls the whole first half. But it is what it is. We played the best we could play. All credit to Port Charlotte.”

It was the second time in as many weeks the Pirates held a team to 15 points in a first half; they did the same thing to Venice in a 53-41 win last Tuesday.

“That’s what we hang our hat on. They’ve been taught man-to-man since they were freshmen,” Specht said. “That’s going to be our bread and butter the whole time. We have to do a lot more im-provement in talking and communicating — we had a couple breakdowns in that — but that’s still probably our strength right now.”

Four field goals from three different players helped the Bulldogs to 11 points in their best quarter of the night,

but it wasn’t enough to help them close the gap. Smarjesse scored 10 of his game-high 18 points in the third quarter, pushing the Pirates’ lead to 32 points.

Port Charlotte junior Zac Specht hit his second of two second-half 3s ear-ly in the fourth quarter, instituting the running clock with more than five minutes remaining.

Powell was the only Bulldog in double figures, scoring 12 of his team’s 34 points.

“We didn’t come out with any energy, any heart, any effort,” Koonce said. “So we’ve got to look at ourselves in the mirror and see what we’re going to do.”

substituted freely in the second half, espe-cially after Puhalovich completed his hat trick in the 45th minute. Luis Suarez and Ben Wilson added second-half goals to round out the scoring.

Lakewood Ranch outshot Charlotte 19-5.

“We passed well and came together as a team. We’re healthy this year, unlike last year,” Lakewood Ranch coach Vito Bavaro said. “Tyler

(Puhalovich) has only been back the last week or so and had four goals last week and three tonight.”

The Tarpons will not have time to sulk. They have a game at Port Charlotte tonight, and Lebeau hopes his squad brings the intensity.

“That win was either a stepping stone or a false sense of security, which it turned out to be the latter,” Lebeau said. “That first goal put us off our rocker. We recovered a little midway through, but we lacked unity and team structure.”

SARASOTA — Gaspar Margaryan set a school record with five goals to lead the North Port High School boys soccer team to a 9-0 victory against Sarasota on Monday night.

Margaryan equaled the record with four goals in a 15-minute span in the first half. He produced the record-breaker in the 37th minute, giving the Bobcats a 9-0 lead and

prompting the game to be stopped at halftime.

Other goal scorers for North Port were Luis Zubiaga (11th minute), Connor McKinley (27th) and Alex Martin (12th, 33rd). Mateo Gregoire, Jason White and Chris Rodriguez earned assists in addition to Margaryan and Martin. McKinley’s goal was the first of his high school career.

The Bobcats outscored Sarasota 17-0 in their two regular-season games.

Steve McMahon re-corded one save for the shutout for North Port, which is 8-0 in District 4A-11 play.

Sarasota 3, North Port 2: North Port fell behind 3-0 in the first half and could not recover in girls soccer at Sarasota.

“Sarasota was aggressive and outhustled us to every ball,” North Port coach Lee Thomas said. “When you are outcontrolled and outpassed, you are going to be in trouble.”

Arianne Guerra scored both North Port goals in the final 20 minutes to make the score close in the District 4A-11 contest.

With the win, Sarasota salvaged a split in the season series as the jockeying for seedings in the district tournament heats up. North Port won last month’s contest 2-1.

Hayley Royer earned the assist on one of the goals. Sabrina Murray recorded nine saves for North Port (7-3-2), which returns to action Wednesday at Venice.

NFL REWINDIn case you missed it, story lines coming out of NFL Week 14 to watch this week:

PLAYOFF PUSHHere come the Seahawks.In mid-October, the defending Super Bowl

champions were sitting at .500 and coming off consecutive losses. Now they’re playing as well as anyone in the NFL, led by their “Legion of Boom” and the rest of the defense. Seattle has won six of seven, including Sunday’s 24-14 victory over Chip Kelly’s go-go Philadelphia Eagles, who were limited to 139 yards.

Russell Wilson threw for 263 yards and a pair of touchdowns, and rushed for 48 yards and another score.

Over the past three weeks, the Seahawks have allowed 20 points while improving to 9-4.

“We are really connected right now,” safety Earl Thomas said, “really in sync.”

DUBIOUS NO. 1 The New York Jets have a chance of being

No. 1 — in the NFL draft. At 2-11, they’re in the mix with Tennessee, Oakland, Tampa Bay and Jacksonville for the dubious distinction of having the NFL’s worst record. With three games left, the race is on. Sunday could play a part in deciding things with the Jets playing the Titans.

“If there was a Peyton Manning out there or a Walter Payton, then I’d say you throw it,” joked Jets coach Rex Ryan. “No, I’m just kidding. We’re not (tanking). We’re trying to win the game.”

According to numberFire.com, the Jets have an 11.82 percent of securing the top pick, ranking fifth behind the Titans (17.02), Buccaneers (17.58), Raiders (18.72) and Jaguars (33.84).

MOTORING IN MOTOWNDetroit won a game in December for the first

time since 2011. The Lions are also on track for their first playoff appearance since that season.

If the Lions win out — beating Minnesota at home and Chicago and Green Bay on the road to close the regular season — they’ll win the NFC North. If Detroit beats just the struggling Vikings and Bears in the next two weeks, it could earn a wild-card spot.

“We’re focusing on this week and this week only and not worrying about anything else,” center Dominic Raiola said. “That’s a good thing around here, it really is. It’s a new day.”

One concern is penalties. The Lions rank 24th with 7.4 per game — their highest mark since 2011 (nearly eight per game).

RAMS TOUGHThe Rams have been waiting all year for this

from their Gregg Williams-led defense.No matter that consecutive shutouts

have come against 2-11 Oakland and 3-10 Washington, it’s quite an accomplishment to ride into the season-ending stretch.

The Rams (6-7) beat the Redskins and Raiders by a combined 76-0. The surge had them close to their goal of ranking in the top 10 in overall defense, checking in at No. 11th before Monday night’s game. They were 10th against the run after being 31st six weeks ago.

“I want to see it again,” coach Jeff Fisher said. “When you’re getting the turnovers, when you’re getting the third-down stops, that gives you a chance.”

FADING 49ERS AND SAINTSAfter three consecutive trips to the NFC

title game, San Francisco is 7-6 and on pace to miss the playoffs after losing 24-13 to the 2-11 Oakland Raiders. Jim Harbaugh could be on his way out. Colin Kaepernick, who threw an inter-ception on the first play, might want to put on his headphones to drown out all the criticism. “I haven’t played well,” he acknowledged.

New Orleans hasn’t played well either, but thanks to the overall struggles of all four teams in the NFC South, the 5-8 Saints have had an unusu-ally large margin for error this season. But with only three games left, that margin is thinning. The Saints, who return to action Monday night in Chicago, have lost four of five games, with two of those losses by three or more scores.

Miami coach Joe Philbin speaks to running back Damien Williams, left, and wide receiver Rishard Matthews during the second half of a Sunday’s loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

DAVIE — With the strain of a costly loss showing, Miami Dolphins coaches said they have a good relationship with their players, even the one who yelled at Joe Philbin on the sideline during the defeat.

Defensive tackle Jared Odrick “kind of snapped” when he angrily confront-ed Philbin in the closing minutes of the Dolphins’ loss to the Baltimore Ravens, defensive coor-dinator Kevin Coyle said Monday. But Coyle said the outburst didn’t signal an underlying problem between Odrick and the coaching staff.

“I think it’s a good rela-tionship, as it is with every guy on this team,” Coyle said. “I feel very strongly about that. I think that’s one of the strengths of this program.”

Offensive coordinator Bill Lazor agreed.

“It’s a reflection on Joe Philbin, the kind of professional atmosphere we have,” Lazor said. “I’m very comfortable with

how our players are on game day, even when they get excited, whether it be because they want the ball more or whatever reason. We’ve got players here that I feel can talk to me, and that I can speak with. It’s a very professional atmosphere.”

Camaraderie will be tested in the wake of Sunday’s 28-13 loss to Baltimore, which could keep the Dolphins (7-6) out of the playoffs for the sixth consecutive year. Any finish short of the postseason would put Philbin’s job in jeopardy after three seasons as Miami’s coach.

The Dolphins went into last weekend with an edge in the race for the final AFC wild-card berth, but they might be left out even if they win their final three games.

Philbin acknowledged there’s no more margin for error, beginning Sunday at AFC East leader New

England. But he expects his team to bounce back.

“I have a lot of faith and confidence in these guys,” Philbin said. “We’ve got a huge challenge this week going up to New England. I told them in the locker room, we’re going to find out a lot this week.”

Injuries are taking a toll, with safety Louis Delmas joining the list when he suffered a season-ending knee injury Sunday. The Ravens feasted on re-placements, including R.J. Stanford at cornerback and Dallas Thomas at right tackle.

The defense has allowed 661 yards rushing over the past three games while twice blowing double-dig-it leads. The offense has scored one touchdown each of the past two weeks, and with pass protection shaky, Ryan Tannehill has stopped trying to throw downfield.

But Philbin said he’s confident his players still have faith in the coaching staff and game plan because of “the way they conduct themselves every single day, the way they’ve gone out and competed every single week. I absolutely believe that.”

Odrick attributed his outburst to the emotions of the moment. Coyle agreed, but didn’t endorse his lineman’s behavior.

Jaguars run over without star LBJACKSONVILLE — The

Jaguars haven’t been the same since losing middle linebacker Paul Posluszny.

Jacksonville (2-11) has given up an average of 159 yards rushing and 4.77 yards a carry since placing their defensive leader on injured reserve in October.

They were gouged on the ground in a 27-13 loss to Houston on Sunday, allowing Arian Foster to carry 24 times for 127

yards and a touchdown. The Texans finished with 42 carries for 173 yards, averaging 4.1 yards.

J.T. Thomas moved in-side to replace Posluszny, and coach Gus Bradley

said he played well. But Jacksonville’s best line-backer combination was Posluszny in the middle, Thomas outside and rook-ie Telvin Smith coming in on passing downs.

“We’ve giving up some big numbers on certain plays,” Thomas said. “That has been our weak spot. We need to cut down on those long runs, turn some of those 40-, 50-, 60-yard runs into 10- or 20-yard runs, try to help ourselves out a bit more.”

Foster had a 51-yard

gain in the first half Sunday that led to a field goal. Dallas’ Joseph Randle (40 yarder), Cincinnati’s Jeremy Hill (60 yarder) and Miami’s Lamar Miller (30 yarder) also gashed Jacksonville for big gains.

In the seven games Posluszny played, the Jaguars allowed 110 yards a game on the ground and 3.77 yards a carry. He tore a pectoral muscle against Cleveland on Oct. 19 and had season-ending surgery.

TAMPA — Now that the sputtering Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been eliminated from post-season contention in the NFC South, coach Lovie Smith may be ready to take another look at Mike Glennon.

The Bucs have stuck with career backup Josh McCown — Smith’s hand-picked leader of an offense that ranks 29th among 32 teams in yards gained and 28th in scoring — through most of a disappointing season that’ll see them miss the playoffs for the seventh consecutive year.

But his team sharing the league’s worst record with four other clubs that also have a shot of winding up with the No. 1 pick in next spring’s draft, it may be time to find out if Glennon — 1-4 as the starter when McCown was sidelined five games because of an injured right thumb — could be the long-term answer to making the franchise relevant again.

The Bucs are 1-7 under McCown, who signed

a two-year, $10 million contract as a free agent after his best season as a pro while filling in for an injured Jay Cutler in Chicago last season.

But Glennon hasn’t had much more success, completing 57.6 percent of his throws for 1,417 yards, 10 touchdowns and six interceptions.

The Bucs are averaging 18.2 points per game.

While Glennon might get another opportunity to run the offense, Smith indicated there probably will not be wholesale lineup changes.

“If playing a player in a position won’t hurt our football team to win the football game, we’ll always look at that. But we haven’t made it that far to even decide,” Smith said.

Browns leaning toward Manziel

BEREA, Ohio — The switch at quarterback for the Browns appears inevitable this week.

After Brian Hoyer played poorly again in Sunday’s loss to Indianapolis, Cleveland coach Mike Pettine seemed to be on the verge of giving rookie Johnny Manziel his first NFL start against Cincinnati.

“I think it’s natural to lean the other way, given the results,” Pettine said Monday. “I still want to make sure we do our due diligence and talk to everybody involved.”

Pettine said he wants to meet with his coaching staff and general manager Ray Farmer before telling both quarterbacks and announcing who will face the Cincinnati Bengals.

Patriots back on track: New England Patriots coach gave his players the day off to go with their usual day off today because of “what we’ve been through from a schedule standpoint.” The Patriots beat the Chargers 23-14 in San Diego on Sunday night, one week after a 26-21 loss to the Packers in Green Bay. Tom Brady completed 28 of 44 passes for 317 yards and two touchdowns with one interception as the Patriots clinched their 12th consecutive 10-win season — the second-longest in NFL history.

Around the league: Washington Redskins coach Jay Gruden said Robert Griffin III would be the choice to start Sunday against the New York Giants if Colt McCoy can’t play because of a sprained neck. Gruden also said he could envision Kirk Cousins playing again this year. …

The Buffalo Bills took the first step in parting ways with receiver Mike Williams, placing him on the waived-injured list. …

MIAMI —The theme for the season had been to not look back. At 9-11 and in the midst of a four-game losing streak, that has proven challenging for the Miami Heat.

After four seasons of advancing to the NBA Finals before losing LeBron James in July in free agency, this is the flop side.

“It gives you an appre-ciation for what you have when you have it,” Chris Bosh said as the Heat turned their attention to the third stop of this five-game trip, tonight’s game against the Phoenix Suns at the US Airways Center. “And it’s a different challenge. And that’s what

it is for us. And we’re just going to have to find out a way to really overcome situations and respond the right way. It’s a change in feeling now, because we’re not used to losing, and we’re losing right now.”

For Bosh, Dwyane Wade, Udonis Haslem, Mario Chalmers, Norris Cole and Chris Andersen, this has turned into an alternate reality, from being able to find a way to win even during the toughest of times.

“It’s a frustrating from the standpoint you want to win,” Wade said, with

the Heat two games under .500 for the first time since they stood 29-31 on Feb. 28, 2010. “There’s about six of us in here who have been in those games and you come out, it’s frustrat-ing from that standpoint. But not from the stand-point of knowing that this was what we were going to have to go through.

Coach Erik Spoelstra gave the team Monday off, but the work continues.

Wizards 133, Celtics 132, 2 OT: In Washington, John Wall scored 26 points, including the team’s last 10, and the Wizards rallied for a win over Boston in double overtime.

Wall added a career-high 17 assists, Paul Pierce scored a season-high 28 points and Marcin Gortat had 21 points and 12 rebounds for Washington.

Cavaliers 110, Nets 88: In New York, LeBron James scored 18 points as Cleveland turned a close game into a clinic as Britain’s Prince William and his wife, Kate, watched the Cavaliers beat Brooklyn.

Raptors 112, Nuggets 107, OT: In Toronto, Kyle Lowry had 13 points and 13 assists, Jonas Valanciunas added 18 points and 12 rebounds and the Raptors rallied to beat Denver in overtime. Lou Williams scored 26 and Amir Johnson had 18 for the Raptors.

Warriors 102, Timberwolves 86: In Minneapolis, Stephen Curry overcame 1-of-7 shooting from 3-point range to post 21 points and seven assists and help Golden State to its 13th consecutive win.

Hawks 108, Pacers 92: In Indianapolis, Al Horford scored 25 points, and Jeff Teague added 21 as Atlanta beat the Pacers.

Miami’s Sheldon McClellan slips a pass around Savannah State’s Demarcus Bryant during the first half of Monday’s game in Coral Gables. The 20th-ranked Hurricanes won 70-39.

CORAL GABLES — Angel Rodriguez scored 17 points and No. 20 Miami responded from its first loss of the season and routed Savannah State 70-39 on Monday night.

The Hurricanes (9-1) never trailed and increased an 11-point halftime lead with a 13-2 spurt in the opening 6:39 of the second half. Manu Lecomte’s 3-point play with 13:21 remaining ended the surge and gave Miami its first 20-point lead at 46-25.

The Hurricanes had their first 30-point lead at 64-33 after Sheldon McClellan’s two free throws with 2:53 remain-ing. Miami outscored Savannah State 36-16 in the second half.

McClellan and Lecomte each finished with 15 points for the Hurricanes, who dropped five spots in the rankings following a 68-55 home loss against Wisconsin-Green Bay on

Saturday.Rodriguez’s 3-pointer

and three free throws in the first 8:20 helped the Hurricanes start the game with a 17-4 lead. Tonye Jekiri’s layup with 11:40 remaining in the first half ended the early surge for Miami.

The Hurricanes had their biggest lead of the half at 27-10 on McClellan’s dunk with 4:46 remaining.

Demarcus Bryant hit consecutive 3-pointers as the Tigers (3-7) outscored the Hurricanes 13-3 in the next 3:14. Jamal Norman’s dunk with 1:32 remaining

ended the spurt and cut Miami’s lead to 30-23.

Bryant led the Tigers with nine points.

Two free throws each from Deandre Burnett and Rodriguez in the final 1:04 gave the Hurricanes a 34-23 lead at halftime.

McClellan has scored in double figures in seven consecutive games. McClellan has reached double digits in eight of Miami’s 10 games this season.

Savannah State is 0-7 on the road.

From Wire reports

GAINESVILLE — After blowing an 18-point lead at Kansas last week, Florida wasn’t about to let another big lead slip away.

Michael Frazier II scored 18 points, Dorian Finney-Smith added 14 and the Gators dominated Yale 85-47 on Monday night.

Florida (4-4) led by 26 points at halftime, but came out of the locker room with the kind of ef-fort and intensity missing against the Jayhawks and quickly turned it into a 49-point game.

The Gators cruised from there, finishing with a season-high 10 3-pointers and ending a two-game losing streak.

“We’ve still got a long way to go, so we can’t be satisfied,” Frazier said. “But I think we’re moving in the right direction.”

Florida controlled the game from the opening tip, taking advantage of size inside and athleticism outside to get any shot it wanted and make Yale work for everything. It got the Bulldogs out of

rhythm and kept them off balance all night.

The result: Yale (8-3) looked nothing like the team that upset defend-ing national champion UConn three days earlier.

Gators rebound in beating Yale

� COLLEGE BASKETBALL: Florida 85, Yale 47

By The AssociATed Press

TIGERS AT GATORSWHO: Texas Southern (1-6) at Florida (4-4) WHEN: Friday, 7 p.m.WHERE: O’Connell Center, GainesvilleTV: SEC NetworkRADIO: 620 AMTICKETS: Ticketmaster.com

Kansas coach Bill Self saw in one game just how bad and how good his Jayhawks can be.

The Jayhawks (6-1) moved back into AP Top 10 on Monday, three days after an impressive 71-65 comeback victory over Florida.

“I learned how we can look obviously when we’re not focused and prepared to play, and basically how slow we can look because they dominated us with their speed in the first half,” Self said Monday.

“We found out a lot of things. It’s a long game. Defensive rebounding can keep you in the game even when the offense is laboring. I think we showed some toughness there, no question, in the second half.”

Kentucky, the team responsible for the

Jayhawks’ only loss, remained No. 1 in the new poll.

The Wildcats (9-0) became the unanimous No. 1 Monday, getting the first-place votes on all 64 ballots. Syracuse spent two weeks as a unani-mous No. 1 last season.

Wisconsin had been getting some first-place votes before its 80-70 loss last week to Duke. The Badgers slipped from second to fifth.

Duke (8-0) replaced Wisconsin at No. 2, jump-ing two spots and ahead of No. 3 Arizona (8-0).

See poll in scoreboard, Page 5

No. 15 Butler 93, Kennesaw State 51: In Indianapolis, Roosevelt Jones scored 14 of his 19 points in the first half and Butler beat Kennesaw State (3-7). Kelan Martin had 17 points and Kellen Dunham added 13 for the Bulldogs (8-2), who have won four consecutive games.

SAN DIEGO — Kevin Cash said he is excited, rather than nervous, about replacing Joe Maddon as manager of the Tampa Bay Rays.

Cash, who has no managerial experience, was hired Friday to take over a team that made the playoffs four of the last seven seasons under Maddon.

“I look at it more as kind of an honor to be following him in what he’s done over the course of his career here,” Cash said Monday at baseball’s winter meetings.

“I think it’s great. You embrace it. I’m always somewhat appreciative what he’s been a part of, a big piece, and kind of built and now the opportunity to join that group. We all know what a job he’s done, what he’s meant in the Tampa Bay commu-nity. He’s moved on but you still value and respect everything he’s done.”

Maddon exercised an opt-out clause in his con-tract on Oct. 24 and was hired as the Chicago Cubs’ manager a week later.

Cash, 37, is the youngest active manager in the majors.

Cash was a catcher for parts of eight big league seasons, including a brief stint with Tampa Bay in 2008. He was Cleveland’s bullpen coach the last two seasons under Terry Francona. Cash played for the Red Sox for parts of three seasons while Francona was their manager.

He hopes to talk to other managers this week about what to expect.

“I’d be open to hear anything, any opinion,” he said. “I think I have somewhat of a perspective but you’re always willing to take more and learn more.”

Waiting for Lester at winter meetings: As players and teams waited for Jon Lester to make a decision and start defining the high-end pitching market, baseball’s winter meetings opened in San Diego with Oakland jettisoning yet another All-Star.

In the first swap of the four-day session, the Athletics sent first baseman-outfielder Brandon Moss to Cleveland for minor league infielder Joey Wendle. That followed Oakland’s trade last month of third baseman Josh Donaldson to Toronto.

Big-name moves are taking more time to percolate. Traded from Boston to Oakland last summer, Lester was sought by the Red Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers, San Francisco Giants and Chicago Cubs.

Athletics general manager Billy Beane is watching the bidding without getting personally involved from his position with the low-payroll A’s.

“That one’s more just for my industry curiosity as much as anything,” he said. “Like Arthur Miller being married briefly to Marilyn Monroe — that’s who we are. We’re the Arthur Miller in Lester’s career.”

Hall candidates shut out: The doors to baseball’s Hall of Fame remained shut to this year’s Golden Era committee candidates.

Nine players and one executive whose primary contributions were from 1947-72 all failed to receive the 75 percent of the vote needed for election.

“The results today are a reminder that election to the Hall of Fame is incredibly difficult and the highest honor an individual can receive in baseball,” Hall of Fame chairman Jane Forbes Clark said.

Dick Allen and Tony Oliva came closest, each receiving 11 of 16 votes, one shy of the 75 percent needed for election. Jim Kaat appeared on 10 ballots, Maury Wills nine and Minnie Minoso eight.

Ken Boyer, Gil Hodges, Billy Pierce and Luis Tiant each received three or fewer votes, as did the late Cincinnati Reds general manager Bob Howsam.

Source says Hammel, Cubs agree to deal: Pitcher Jason Hammel agreed to a $20 million, two-year contract to return to the Chicago Cubs, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the agreement had not yet been announced. Hammel’s deal includes a $12 million club option for 2017 with a $2 million buyout. If the option is exercised, the contract would be worth $30 million for three seasons.

| QUICK HITSIOC PASSES VOTES ON BIDDING, SPORTS AND TV CHANNEL

MONACO (AP) — Thomas Bach never thought it would be this easy. In rapid fashion and without a single vote against or even an abstention, the International Olympic Committee on Monday overwhelmingly approved its president’s 40-point reform package — the biggest shake-up of the organization in decades.

“Even in my wildest dreams I would not have expected this,” Bach said after the delegates unan-imously backed his plans for a more affordable bidding system, creation of an Olympic television channel and a more flexible sports program.

A vote scheduled to take place over 1 ½ days was wrapped up in just one day. The only thing that didn’t pass unani-mously was a suggestion for a coffee break

Among other measures approved was the reword-ing of the IOC’s non-dis-crimination policy to include sexual orientation — a move that followed the controversy over Russia’s law against gay “propaganda” ahead of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.

today: Doctors said Pele is expected to be discharged from a Brazilian hospital today, two weeks after being admitted to treat a urinary tract infection. The Albert Einstein hospital said the soccer great “continues to improve” and there are “no signs of the infection” that prompted his hospitalization on Nov. 24. The infection stemmed from surgery on Nov. 13 to remove kidney stones. ...

In New Delhi, Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer finished off the India leg of the International Premier Tennis League with a highly-anticipated meeting between the two stars in front of a frenzied New Delhi crowd. The one-set match between the two rivals ended in a 6-6 stalemate under the format rules, which meant Djokovic’s UAE Royals team came away with a 29-22 win over Federer’s Indian Aces.

PASADENA, Calif. — Jameis Winston won the last Heisman Trophy. Marcus Mariota is the favorite to win the award this year. And on New Year’s Day, college football’s two most dec-orated quarterbacks will go head-to-head in the Granddaddy of Them All.

Defending national champion Florida State (13-0) plays Oregon (12-1) in the 101st edition of the Rose Bowl in a matchup determined Sunday by the College Football Playoff committee.

Oregon is the second seed in the playoff, ranked higher than unbeaten de-fending champion Florida State (13-0), likely on the Pac-12’s strength and the Ducks winning their last eight games by an average of 26 points.

“You have two of the greatest of all time at their position,” Oregon coach Mark Helfrich said.

The schools will meet

for the first time in a playoff semifinal that features Winston and Mariota, who both led their teams to victories in their conferences’ cham-pionship games.

Winston threw for 309 yards and three touch-downs in the Seminoles’ 37-35 win over Georgia Tech in the ACC game, and Mariota threw two TD passes and ran for three more in the Ducks’ 51-13 rout of Arizona in the Pac-12 final.

“You have two of the greatest college football players right now,” Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher said. “It makes for great TV and great competition.”

Oregon will be in the traditional postseason destination for the Pac-12 champion for the third time in six years, and the stands will be filled with green-clad faithful. When the Ducks beat UCLA here

in October, the stands were filled with alumni and fans of the school jokingly known as the University of California at Eugene for its large percentage of Golden State students.

The Seminoles have never played in a Rose Bowl, but they were in Pasadena in January on the same turf, beating Auburn in the BCS national championship game. Winston capped one of the greatest freshman seasons by a quarterback in the sport’s history by throwing the winning TD pass to Kelvin Benjamin with 13 sec-onds left in Florida State’s 34-31 victory, capping a 79-yard drive.

Mariota hasn’t won a national title or played in a Rose Bowl, but the junior from Hawaii has done nearly everything else during three seasons as the Ducks’ starter. He

has thrown a touchdown pass in all 39 career games with only 12 intercep-tions — the same number Winston has thrown in his last six games.

“Everything starts with him at Oregon,” Fisher said. “He can affect you in so many ways. Not with just the arm and the feet, but with his mind and his intangibles.”

It’s not always pretty, but Winston and team-mates keep winning each week — 29 in a row after outlasting Georgia Tech for their third consecutive ACC title. The Seminoles make defensive mistakes, and Winston has thrown 17 interceptions, but they execute well near both goal lines, ranking among the nation’s best in red-zone defense and offense.

“When you get to 29, that’s just extremely, extremely impressive,” Helfrich said.

Miami’s Golden still that with AD

CORAL GABLES — Miami athletic director Blake James continued to give unwavering support to coach Al Golden on Monday, acknowledging that no one involved with the program should be pleased with the team’s 6-6 record this season.

James said he reads every email and listens to every voicemail he gets, though he remains sold that Golden is the right person to lead Miami back to prominence.

“We need to get better as a program,” James said, “and I’m confident we have the guy that’s going to do that. I’ll continue to support Al.”

Golden, who is 28-21 in four years, was hired in 2010 without knowing Miami was facing an NCAA investigation, a process that continued until last season.

Around the nation: Alabama receiver Amari Cooper was selected the Southeastern Conference offensive player of the year by the Associated Press, while Missouri end Shane Ray was named the best defensive player. The coach of the year went to Mississippi State’s Dan Mullen, and Georgia running back Nick Chubb was voted the top freshman. …

TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin was a unanimous pick for AP’s Big 12 offensive player of the year, and Horned Frogs linebacker Paul Dawson was named the top defensive player. …

Kansas introduced David Beaty, a former Jayhawks assistant who was receivers coach at Texas A&M, as the school’s third coach in the five years. He promised to rebuild the long-stagnant program through “hard work and earning everything.” …

Tennessee gave coach Butch Jones a two-year contract extension and a raise that will pay him $3.6 million a season through 2020. …

Houston fired coach Tony Levine after three years and a 21-17 overall record. Defensive coordinator David Gibbs was named interim coach as the Cougars prepare to play Pittsburgh on Jan. 2 in the Armed Forces Bowl.

� COLLEGE FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK

By The AssociATed Press

OSU is no Vegas

favoriteLAS VEGAS — What

if the people who make their living rating teams every day were in charge of seeding the college football playoffs?

What if the inaugural playoff season wasn’t decided by a group of people with different agendas that might factor into their judgment?

There would be a lot more happy people in Texas, that’s for sure.

“My personal opinion is I thought it would be Alabama, Oregon, TCU and Florida State,” said Jay Kornegay, who runs the sports book at the Westgate Las Vegas. “I’m very disappointed they let Ohio State in there over TCU and Baylor.”

In his book’s power ratings, Kornegay has them both listed as better teams than Ohio State.

But that’s not all. Kornegay said there are more teams that would be favored against the Buckeyes should they have met in a bowl game.

If the sole criteria for selection were picking the best team at the moment, Mississippi, Mississippi State and Auburn would be in before the Buckeyes.

“What this is saying, I don’t know,” Kornegay said. “But I think they set a very poor precedent with their selection.”

Oddsmakers would like to see playoffs expanded to eight teams, and not just because it would give more teams a chance to prove themselves on the field. The money to be made could rival the Super Bowl for betting.

“The interest with four teams is going to be through the roof,” Kornegay said, “but (with) eight teams it could be the most popular event we post on our board.”

the only player to win two Heismans.

Finalists are determined by percentage of votes received from 929 media members and former winners.

Mariota didn’t break the top 10 in the Heisman voting last season, but entered 2014 as one of the preseason favorites.

He delivered a spectac-ular season in his third year as the Ducks’ starter. He is the nation’s top-rat-ed passer (186.3) and has thrown for 3,783 yards and 38 touchdowns with just two interceptions. He also has run for 669 yards and 14 touchdowns for the Pac-12 champions.

He is Oregon’s third finalist, joining quarter-back Joey Harrington (2001) and running back LaMichael James (2010).

Gordon leads the nation with 2,336 yards rushing and 179.7 yards per game. Gordon broke the single-game FBS rushing record with 408 yards against Nebraska, a record that only stood for a week. He needs another huge game in the Outback Bowl against Auburn to break Barry Sanders’ single-season record of 2,628, set in his Heisman winning season of 1988

with Oklahoma State.He is the fourth

Wisconsin running back to be a finalist. The Badgers have had two Heisman winners: Alan Ameche (1954) and Ron Dayne (1999).

Cooper set a Southeastern Conference record with 115 catches for 1,656 yards and 14 touchdowns for the top-ranked Crimson Tide.

Cooper is the fourth Alabama finalist since Mark Ingram became the

Tide’s first winner in 2009.“This will be my first

trip to New York City, and I can’t put into words how much it means to me and my family,” Cooper said in a statement. “I am privileged to have the opportunity to represent our team at the Heisman ceremony. None of this would be possible without my coaches and teammates.”

Heisman voters submit a ballot with their top three selections.
