The vote was 8-4 in favor of death. On Friday, the same jury convicted the younger Camp- bell of first-degree murder in his father's death. While the 12-person panel had to be unanimous in deciding a guilty verdict, a simply ma- jority vote was needed to rec- ommend to Howard whether Campbell should head to death row or be handed life without parole. The ultimate decision of life or death is Howard's, but he is required by law to give "great weight" to the jury recommendation. From the start of the trial, Campbell and his attorneys, public defenders Devon Sharkey and Michael Lam- berti, never denied he killed his father in August 2010 by chopping him in the head multiple times, afterward leading police on a high- speed chase on U.S. 19, See Page A4 Ride to live, live to ride Nuke test If North Korea tests a nuclear explosive, no one might be able to confirm it./Page A14 Tablet time Middleschoolers like their iPads./Page C1 SIGN UP NOW: MATTHEW BECK/Chronicle Rick and Pam Northrop of the Gold Wing Road Riders Association cruise along State Road 44 in Lecanto last week on their Honda Gold Wing motorcycle. The couple ride regularly and travel throughout Florida on their bike. Couple works to educate motorcyclists and drivers on safety issues PAT FAHERTY Staff writer -LECANTO Pam and Rick Northrop are motorcyclists with a mission: safety. While they enjoy two-wheel travel on their Honda Gold Wing, they approach motorcy- cle riding with a certain knowledge and attitude. "We dress for the slide," Rick Northrop said. "Not for the ride." And their safety apparel - helmets, protective clothing and reflective colors is just part of the equation. Their bright white bike has a pulsating headlight, adjustable air shocks, intercom, cruise control and other extras.

He has held the position since January after being as- sistant director for a year and has been involved with the as- sociation since 2005. But he has been riding considerably longer, starting on dirt bikes as a teen. With 35 chapters in the state, the couple travels from Pensacola to Miami. They also attend out-of-state national rallies. Last week, they headed to Fort Myers then over to Miami to teach a CPR first-aid class. Their role as motorcycle safety instructors was a natu- ral fit, since both of them have previous education careers. Both are former teachers. He is also a retired minister and has been a school principal and seminary professor. "So education is no change for us, it's just been part of the evolution," he said.

As many of the uninsured women who participated in the free program had no primary care physician to receive results of their screenings, Joseph Ben- nett, M.D., with Robert Boissoneault Oncology Institute, took on that responsibility "I volunteered to con- tact patients with abnor- i, malities and facilitate the scheduling of any ap- .t pointments needed," he said.

The city purchased the property in 2007 for $475,000. The building sat on the property since 1969, when Eli White built what was then the Dampier Funeral Home. Luther Cason, of Brooksville, bought the funeral home in 1993 and changed the name.

The defense insisted Campbell, 39, was de- pressed and had an uneasy relationship with his father The prosecution team of Rich Buxman and Pete Magrino dismissed those notions and said Campbell planned his crime, then executed his father and robbed his corpse to go on a spending spree and smoke crack cocaine. In Tuesday's penalty phase, the defense's por- trait of their client's men- tal state and stress came to the fore. The prosecution coun- tered by painting Camp- bell as a calculating and cruel person with a history of violence and crime who murdered his father in cold blood just so he could spend his money The prosecution had to present aggravating fac- tors to jurors to convince them to recommend death for Campbell. Two of their witnesses helped make the case for them. Angela Thatcher was Campbell's sister-in-law and testified that she was attacked by him in 1998. Thatcher recounted a har- rowing story to jurors about finding Campbell hiding in her closet and the ensuing struggle to wrest a hammer from Campbell's control. Detective Sam Ruby told jurors "the closest he came to dying" was when Campbell, leading a high- speed chase down U.S. 19, turned up the speed and barreled toward his squad vehicle, which was parked on the shoulder. Ruby was outside the vehicle and tried to run for his life, but was hurt in the subse- quent crash. Campbell was hurt and had to be air- lifted for medical treat- The prosecution had to present aggravating factors to jurors to convince them to recommend death for Campbell. ment after the crash. Lamberti used Camp- bell's actions, including the crash, to illustrate what he called a man with severe "mental and emo- tional disturbances" and who lacked the capacity to appreciate the criminality of his actions. He offered those miti- gating factors with hopes the jury would vote to spare Campbell's life. Lamberti also presented several witnesses, includ- ing Campbell's sister Donna Sheffield and his mother, Kathy Husted, to highlight his familial dys- function and how that pur- portedly led to his attack on his father. The defense also pre- sented a forensic psychol- ogist, Peter Bursten, who characterized Campbell as having an antisocial per- sonality and borderline personality disorder. In the end, the jury opted for death, and now Howard will begin a series of hearings in which the defense will have opportu- nities to present further evidence as to why Camp- bell's life should be spared, according to Magrino. Sharkey said the fact four jurors voted for life is important in the appellate process. "But that is assuming Judge Howard is going to impose death. He may choose life without parole."

"The helmet law is not in the state of Florida, but we don't even go to the corner without a helmet on." "It's ATG, ATT," he said. "All the gear, all the time." He approaches motorcy- cle safety from a position of experience, having walked away from two ac- cidents where his motor- cycle was totaled. "If I hadn't had the helmet on, I wouldn't be here today," he said, recalling his accidents. He is an instructor for all the safety classes the association puts on, in- cluding medical first-aid classes and parking lot practice. "It's one thing WALKER Continued from Page Al look easy, but the perform- ance was anything but simple: it took dozens of circus workers to pull and release the thick black ca- bles that controlled Wal- lenda's wire as he walked. The morning was windier than expected, and at one point near the end, Wal- lenda dipped down to one knee on the wire, which led to loud gasps among the crowd. "I have to get into a zone where I kind of forget about everything else and just focus on what I'm doing," he said shortly be- fore he stepped on the wire. "Fear is a choice but danger is real, and that's very, very true for my line of work" When Wallenda went to one knee, the drama reached a fever pitch. "Scary," said Neil Mont- ford, a vacationer from the United Kingdom, while wiping sweat from his brow and looking skyward. Wallenda, 34, wore a jumping on this bike and heading down the road," he said. "But now get into Walmart parking lot, it's all slow practice." Raising public aware- ness is another part of their mission. "We have di- vision in GWRRA called Motorist Awareness," he said, "making the four- wheeling public aware of the fact that there are two- wheelers out there and three-wheelers out there on the road. "So many accidents hap- pen because they didn't see you." The Northrops are also gearing up for the Florida District Gold Wing Con- vention March 21-23 in Kissimmee. They are also selling tickets for a new a Gold Wing, with the pro- ceeds paying for the safety program. Contact Chronicle re- porter Pat Faherty at 352- 564-2924 or pfaherty @chronicleonline. com.

The Sarasota City Commission allowed him to do the stunt without a tether. gold cross around his neck and prayed with his wife, children and par- ents prior to the walk. "It's my job, it's my ca- reer, it's my passion, it's what I love to do," he said. The Sarasota City Com- mission allowed the stunt without a tether Wallenda wore a tether last summer when he walked across Ni- agara Falls because the television network that was paying for the per- formance insisted on it Wallenda is a seventh- generation high-wire artist and is part of the fa- mous "Flying Wallendas" circus family His great- grandfather, Karl Wal- lenda, fell during a performance in Puerto Rico and died. But Wallenda wasn't fo- cused on the possibility of tragedy. In the hours before the stunt, Wal- lenda walked under- neath the wire, which was suspended between a crane and a condo in downtown Sarasota. He spoke of his city, of the nearby sparkling bay and how he loved to hear the cheers of the crowd while hundreds of feet up in the air. SCHOOLS Continued from Page Al impact on students. They reviewed and ulti- mately rejected a pro- posed list of cuts during a workshop Tuesday after- noon. Board members had reviewed a similar list last year but were never forced to make cuts when the state increased its funding. "Every one of these pro- grams hits thousands of students," board member Thomas Kennedy said. They agreed to further investigate revamping the high school schedule to eliminate one teacher- planning period during the school year. Assistant superintendent of schools Kenny Blocker estimated that could save $1 million in staff reductions, though board members said they wanted more information to back up that estimate. They also agreed to con- sider reducing supplemen- tal pay awarded to teachers for additional du- ties-by $250,000. However, that pay is part of the negoti- ated contract with teachers. Other items on the list- including closing the Ma- rine Science Station ($200,000 savings), elimi- nating media specialists at elementary and middle schools ($500,000 savings) and eliminating ridership for students who live within two miles of a school ($500,000 savings) - were quickly dismissed by board members. "I cannot see those chil- dren in the Beverly Hills area walking two miles carrying their book bags," board Chairwoman Ginger Bryant said. Board member Pat Deutschman suggested the district remove a significant perk for employees who are paid for unused sick and va- cation days when they re- tire or resign. Blocker said that amounts to about $1 million annually. "I was shocked at the amount of money we're going to pay people who are walking out the door," Deutschman said. "This is just unheard of in private industry" Blocker said the district pays up to 60 days unused vacation and up to 90 per- cent of unused sick time. Any reduction or elimina- tion of that pay would be part of collective bargain- ing with employees. The board is expected to have its next budget work- shop Feb. 26.

Feds warn public about misleading flu treatment Associated Press WASHINGTON Federal regulators say a Florida company has been mar- keting an untested inhaled formula as a flu remedy in violation of drug safety regulations. The Ger The Food and Drug Ad- ministration and the Fed- IS sold eral Trade Commission retail issued a warning letter to retalle Flu and Cold Defense LLC CVS.c( for making misleading, unproven claims about its at a h GermBullet inhaler. The Boca Raton, Fla.- Of s based company advertises the product as a "propri- pharma etary blend of 11 organic nature botanicals." The com- pany's website claims that stores ir "an FDA recognized virol- ogy lab" tested the formula and "con- firmed that it has the potential capability to kill cold and flu viruses." But FDA regulators say the mixture has never been reviewed as safe and ef- fective and the company is violating drug safety regulations. All new drugs marketed in the U.S. must be submitted rl t I I r iC a nl for approval to the FDA before they can be sold to consumers. The GermBullet is sold online through retailers like CVS.com and at a handful of small pharmacies and natural food stores in Florida. The warning comes mBullet amid a worse-than-usual flu season that has hit the through elderly particularly hard. rs like CSo far, half of confirmed rs like flu cases are in people 65 )m and and older Flu and Cold Defense handful issued a news release early in the month saying mall GermBullet "may help %ipe and protect you so your im- cies andu mune system is not over- Il food whelmed as the flu reaches epidemic levels." Florida. FDA and FTC regulators take issue with that state- ment and a number of others from the company's website, including that the inhaler is "shown to reduce illness-caus- ing bacteria, cold and flu viruses and fungi." Regulators gave the company 15 busi- ness days to correct the problematic statements. FDA OKs inhaler for COPD Associated Press WASHINGTON A panel of federal health experts on Tuesday overwhelmingly recom- mended approval for a long-acting inhaler to treat people suffering from chronic lung disease. The Food and Drug Administration panel voted 15-1, with one ab- stention, that Boehringer Ingelheim's once-daily Striverdi Respimat inhaler is safe and effective for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, a condition that causes bronchitis and emphysema. The disease affects about 24 million people in the U.S. and is most commonly caused by cig- arette smoking. Symptoms include cough, phlegm and shortness of breath. The FDA is not required to follow the guidance of its panels, though it often does. German drugmaker Boehringer is also asking the agency to approve the drug, known chemically as olodaterol, with labeling stating that it increased patients' ability to exer- cise. If approved, the drug would be the first inhaler with that claim. Boehringer studied the drug in patients for up to 48 weeks, measuring their lung capacity based on vol- ume of air they could expel. "The positive vote from the advisory commit- tee marks an important step towards making olodaterol available," said Boehringer vice pres- ident Tunde Otulana in a statement. "We Cater to Cowards!"

But when the White House called for pushing ahead with such new tech- nology as part of President Obama's plan to cut gun vi- olence, the administration did not mention the con- cept's embattled past. As with so much else in the nation's long-running divi- sions over gun rights and regulation, what sounds like a futuristic vision is, in fact, an idea that has been kicked around for years, sidelined by intense suspi- cion, doubts about feasibil- ity and pressure tactics. Now proponents of so- called personalized or smart guns are hoping the nation's renewed attention on firearms following the Newtown school massacre will kick start research and sale of safer weapons. But despite the Obama ad- ministration's promise to "encourage the develop- ment of innovative gun safety technology," advo- cates have good reason to be wary In the fiery debate about guns, personalized weapons have long occu- pied particularly shaky ground an idea criti- cized both by gun rights groups and some gun con- trol advocates. To the gun groups, the idea of using technology to control who can fire a gun smacks of a limitation on personal rights, particu- larly if it might be man- dated by government. At the same time, some gun control advocates worry such technology, by mak- ing guns appear falsely safe, would encourage Americans to stock up on even more weapons than they already have in their homes. Without the politics, the notion of using radio fre- quency technology, bio- metric sensors or other gadgetry in a gun capable of recognizing its owner sounds like something straight out of James Bond. In fact, it is. In the latest Bond flick, "Skyfall," Agent 007's quartermaster passes him a 9 mm pistol coded to his palm print. "Only you can fire it," the contact tells the agent. "Less of a random killing machine. More of a per- sonal statement." In real life, though, there's no getting around the politics, and the de- bate over personalized guns long ago strayed well beyond questions of whether the technology will work. MEI Those were the first questions asked in 1994 when the research arm of the Justice Department began studying prospects of making a police gun that a criminal would not be able to fire if he wrestled it away during a struggle. Scientists at Sandia Na- tional Laboratories exam- ined available technology in 1996 and found it prom- ising, but wanting. By then, the notion of a safe gun had long capti- vated Stephen Teret, a for- mer attorney and public health expert at Johns Hopkins University in Bal- timore who had gone after automakers for not includ- ing air bags in their cars. In 1983, he got a call that the 22-month-old son of a couple he knew had been killed by a 4-year-old who found a loaded gun in a nightstand drawer. "Very definitely, that was the genesis," said Teret, who went on to found Hopkins' Center for Gun Policy and Research. "Because when one thinks of something as a public health person, the first thing is you're sick with grief and the second thing that comes to mind is why in the world would there be a handgun operable by a 4-year-old?" Teret began trying to get lawmakers and gun mak- ers interested in the con- cept of personalized weapons. He convinced U.S. Rep. Pat Schroeder, Associated Press This photo provided by the New Jersey Institute of Technology shows a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun configured with transducers in its handle to detect the grasp of an authorized user. To gun-rights groups, the idea of using tech- nology to control who can fire a gun smacks of a limitation on personal rights, particularly if it might be mandated by government. At the same time, some gun control advocates worry such technology, by making guns appear falsely safe, would encourage Americans to stock up on even more weapons then they already have in their homes. D-Colorado, to earmark funding for the Justice study And in the mid- 1990s, he voiced support for a project at Colt's Man- ufacturing Co., the leg- endary but beleaguered gun maker that saw an op- portunity to sell safe guns to police officers and par- ents of young children. Colt's developed a gun equipped with a mi- crochip that would pre- vent it from firing unless the user was wearing an enabling device in a spe- cial wristband. But gun rights activists were skep- tical, partly because the government was funding research of the concept and because gun control advocates like Teret em- braced it. At about the same time, New Jersey lawmakers began dis- cussing a measure requir- ing all new handguns sold in the state to be personal- ized, three years after the technology came to mar- ket. The measure passed in 2002. MEN Owners' skepticism was heightened in 1997 when Colt's CEO Ronald Stewart wrote an editorial in American Firearms Indus- try magazine calling on fel- low manufacturers to parry gun control efforts by backing a federal gun registry and developing personalized weapons. "While technology such as this should not be man- dated it should be an op- tion for the consumer," Stewart wrote. "If we can send a motorized computer to Mars, then certain we can advance our technol- ogy to be more childproof." Stewart did not respond to a message seeking com- ment left at a Connecticut company where he now serves on the board of directors. Soon after, the Coalition of New Jersey Sportsmen - a state affiliate of the National Rifle Association - began calling for a boy- cott of Colt's. It warned that personalized technol- If a smart gun did exist, what would its effect be, taking into consideration the nature of gun violence in this country? Would you place families at risk or people at risk by giving this impression that this is a safe gun? You know, people who wouldn't normally buy a gun, would they buy one now? Josh Sugarmann executive director, Violence Policy Center. ogy might make it difficult for gun owners to defend themselves and called the company's conduct "detri- mental to American-style freedoms and liberties." Stewart was replaced as CEO of Colt's in 1998 and the company eventually abandoned development of a personalized gun. MIE In 1999, New Jersey's lawmakers approved a grant to researchers at New Jersey Institute of Technology to study per- sonalized gun technology. Those efforts focused on adding transducers to a gun's handle to detect the grasp of an authorized user. Meanwhile, the Jus- tice Department offered a challenge grant to gun makers and although two responded, they made lim- ited headway by the time $7 million in funding ran out Work on personalized weapons suffered another setback after gun rights' groups boycotted Smith & Wesson over a 2000 agree- ment it signed with the Clinton administration in which the manufacturer made numerous promises, including one to develop smart guns.

But even as NJIT bolstered the reliability of its prototype, which now has a recognition rate of about 97 percent, it found it a hard sell. Talks with a Florida gun maker at first seemed productive until industry activists pres- sured the company to back away, said Donald Sebast- ian, NJIT's senior vice president for research and development. "Their claim that these are just blue state liberals looking to take your guns away, it just inflames peo- ple to not think a little more rationally," Sebast- ian said. "Yes, it's a frustrating experience, but we have to be adults," he said. "I think it's been a long lesson to learn that this intermin- gling of the concepts of gun safety and gun control are ultimately poison." MEN Mike Bazinet, a spokesman for the Na- tional Shooting Sports Foundation, which repre- sents gun manufacturers, said questions remain about whether the tech- nology has been improved enough to assure police of- ficers and civilians a per- sonalized weapon would fire when they need pro- tection. But there are also concerns "about individ- ual consumers' ability to choose the firearm that they think is best for them," Bazinet said. But gun makers and owners have not been the only critics. Activists from the Violence Policy Center, an outspoken gun control group, also spoke against personalized weapons. "If a smart gun did exist, what would its effect be, taking into consideration the nature of gun violence in this country?" said Josh Sugarmann, the group's executive director "Would you place families at risk or people at risk by giving this impression that this is a safe gun? You know, peo- ple who wouldn't normally buy a gun, would they buy one now?" NJIT's Sebastian, who joined a group of person- alized gun advocates who met recently with Attorney General Eric Holder to push for their develop- ment, said his school has seen some renewed inter- est and is talking with offi- cials at Picatinny Arsenal, which develops weapons for the U.S. military Meanwhile, two Euro- pean companies working on personalized gun tech- nology have their eyes on the U.S. market. One of those firms, TriggerSmart Ltd. of Limerick, Ireland, has developed a system using Radio Frequency Identification that would be built into the handle of a gun and triggered by a device the size of a grain of rice inside a user's ring or bracelet. Co-founder Robert Mc- Namara said he is seeking to license the technology to a U.S. manufacturer, but is looking at the possibility of producing kits for retro- fitting existing guns. Another venture, Ar- matix GmbH of Unter- foehring, Germany, says it has developed a personal- ized gun, with settings based on radio frequency technology and biometrics, that was approved by the Bureau of Alcohol, To- bacco and Firearms in late 2011. Armatix said it hopes to begin selling the gun as well as accompanying safety and locking systems in the U.S. this year, but would not provide details. MEI Teret, who long ago launched the campaign for personalized guns, ac- knowledged much has to happen before they be- come a reality But the White House has prom- ised to issue a report on the technology and award prizes to companies that come up with innovative and cost-effective person- alized guns, and its inter- est has rejuvenated hopes that the gun of the future may actually have one. "For 30 years, at best we've been inching for- ward at a glacial pace," he said. "And now this puts it up to warp speed." Associated Press writer David Rising in Berlin contributed to this report.

The com- ments by Majority Leader Harry Reid came amid Sen. Harry increasing resignation among both De- mocrats and Republicans that the across-the-board cuts will soon take effect. The cuts were an element of the so- called fiscal cliff that was par- tially averted this month with the extension of Bush-era tax cuts. But the reprieve from spending cuts of 7 percent to the Pentagon and 5 percent to domestic programs was only temporary and will expire March 1. The cuts are known as se- questration in Washington- speak. Reid said the cuts should be replaced "in short incre- ments" with spending cuts and revenues like repealing oil and gas subsidies that were discussed in earlier negotiations. "There are many low- hanging pieces of fruit out there that Republicans have said they agreed on previ- ously," Reid said. "There's a lot of things we can do out there, and we're going to make an effort to make sure that there is sequestration is involves revenue." San Francisco nudity ban upheld SAN FRANCISCO--A federal judge has cleared the way for San Francisco's ban on most displays of public nu- dity to take effect Feb. 1. U.S. District Court Judge Edward Chen ruled Tuesday the city ordinance prohibiting adults from displaying their genitals does not violate the free speech rights of people who like going out in the buff. The San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted 7-4 last month in favor of the ban in- troduced in response to a group of nudists that regularly gathers in the city's predomi- nantly gay Castro District. The activists who had chal- lenged the measure also ar- gued the ordinance was unfair because it grants exceptions for public nudity at permitted public events such as the city's gay pride parade. Chen also rejected that argument. Billionaire makes NYC mayor bid NEW YORK Business- man John Catsimatidis has made it official he's in the race to follow fellow billionaire Michael Bloomberg as New York City's mayor. Catsima- tidis an- nounced his candidacy Tuesday. The Repub- lican joins an increas- ingly John crowded Catsimatidis field of GOP, Democratic and other candidates seeking to suc- ceed the term-limited, Democ- rat-turned- Republican-turned independ- ent Bloomberg. Catsimatidis' family left Greece for the United States when he was an infant. He began his career in the gro- cery business and branched out into oil, real estate and other areas. He praised Bloomberg for a city that has attracted busi- nesses and seen crime drop during his 12 years in office. Catsimatidis said New York can't afford to "go in the wrong direction" now. But he also said he's a Harlem-raised, regular New Yorker, "not a Mike Bloomberg billionaire." -From wire reports Click Lock Vinyl Plank Material 99Only 20 mil wear layer * 100% Waterproof j Easy Do-it-yourself Installation Obama pushes immigration overhaul Associated Press LAS VEGAS Declar- ing "now is the time" to fix the nation's broken immi- gration system, President Barack Obama on Tues- day outlined broad pro- posals for putting millions of illegal immigrants on a clear path to citizenship while cracking down on businesses that employ people illegally and tight- ening security at the bor- ders.

"Do we have the resolve as a people, as a country, as a government to finally put this issue behind us? I believe that we do." Shortly after Obama fin- ished speaking, cracks emerged between the White House and the group of eight senators, which put out their pro- posals one day ahead of the president. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, a po- tential 2016 presidential candidate, faulted Obama for not making a citizen- ship pathway contingent on tighter border security, a central tenet of the law- makers' proposals. "The president's speech left the impression that he believes reforming immi- gration quickly is more important than reforming immigration right," Rubio said in a statement. Despite possible obsta- cles to come, the broad agreement between the White House and biparti- san lawmakers in the Sen- ate represents a drastic shift in Washington's will- ingness to tackle immigration.

The drugmaker's stock gained after posting strong earnings, pushing the Dow closer to 14,000. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 73 points to close at 13,954.42 points, end- ing higher for the seventh day in eight. The Standard and Poor's 500 also rose, adding eight points to 1,507.84 points. The Nasdaq composite dropped less than a point to 3,153.66. The January rally looked as if it was running out of steam Monday as stocks pulled back from their highs, but Tuesday they resumed their ascent toward record levels. Demand was bolstered at the start of the year after lawmakers reached a deal to avoid the "fiscal cliff" and was sustained by reports that have added to evidence showing the U.S. housing mar- ket is recovering and the jobs market is slowly healing. The Dow is 6.5 percent higher this month and the S&P 500 is up 5.7 percent. Both indexes are at their highest levels in more than five years. Pfizer was the biggest gainer in the Dow, advancing 86 cents, or 3.2 percent, to $27.70 after the company said its fourth-quarter profit more than quadru- pled because of a $4.8 billion gain from selling its nutrition business and despite competition from generic drugs hurting sales. Homebuilder D.R. Horton gained $2.51, or 11.8 percent, to $23.82 after it said net income more than doubled as the housing recovery took hold. Improv- ing home prices and better sales bol- stered profits. "The earnings season is not stellar, it's not gangbusters, but it's better than last quarter," said Quincy Krosby, a market strategist at Prudential. Currently, analysts expect fourth- quarter earnings for 2012 to increase by an average of 4.7 percent for S&P 500 companies, according to the latest data from S&P Capital IQ. That's an improve- ment on the previous quarter when profit grew by 2.4 percent. Associated Press A woman shops Jan. 20 at a Nordstrom store in Chicago.

Business BRIE FS Ford shares down in fourth quarter DEARBORN, Mich. Ford is posting record profits in North America, but it's not enough to quell unease about the company's prospects elsewhere. Ford's shares dropped nearly 5 percent Tuesday after the company said it ex- pects to lose more money in Europe this year and break even in Asia and South Amer- ica. The final straw for in- vestors: Ford said sales will increase next year but profits should remain about the same, dashing hopes that margins will continue to grow. The No. 2 U.S. automaker posted record pretax profit of $8.3 billion in North America in 2012, the result of a six- year turnaround orchestrated by CEO Alan Mulally. Fed to stick to Hostess to list low-rate message bidder for Twinkles WASHINGTON When the Federal Reserve meets this week, it's likely to affirm the message it intends to help lift the economy, and con- sumers and businesses will be able to borrow cheaply well into the future even after unemployment has dropped sharply. Last month, the Fed sig- naled for the first time it will tie its policies to specific eco- nomic barometers. It said as long as the infla- tion outlook is mild, it could keep short-term rates near zero until the unemployment rate dips below 6.5 percent from the current 7.8 percent. That could take until the end of 2015, the Fed pre- dicted last month. NEW YORK -The inde- structible Twinkie appears to be one step closer to a comeback. Hostess Brands is close to announcing it has picked two investment firms - C. Dean Metropoulos & Co. and Apollo Global Manage- ment as the lead bidders for its Twinkies and other snack cakes, according to a source close to the situation who was not authorized to comment publicly on the talks. The joint "stalking horse" bid would set the floor for an auction process that lets com- petitors make better offers. A judge would have to ap- prove any final sale. -From wire reports StocksRecap PRIME RATE YEST 3.25 6MOAGO 3.25 1 YR AGO 3.25 CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE BUSINESS 41 Page A12 -WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 30, 2013 PINION CITRUS COUNTY CHRONICLE EDITORIAL BOARD Gerry Mulligan .............. ...........publisher Mike Arnold ................. .................. editor Charlie Brennan .....................editor at large Curt Ebitz .......................citizen member mN w Mac Harris ...........................citizen member Founded Rebecca Martin ..........................guest member by Albert M.

Since then, he has backed off the unpopular bill he signed in 2011, blaming the mess on legislators. What has changed? Scott's polling numbers show 33 percent of Florida's voters approve of Scott's per- formance while 57 percent disapprove. That is com- pared to a 37/48 spread in No- vember.

A while back, we had Gary Bartell in District 2, Vicki Phillips, District 3, and Joyce Valentino, District 5, who were all for the people, not bought and paid for by builders, developers and special interests. Unfortunately, it was a sad day when they were voted out and look what we have today. Shame, shame on the people of Citrus County for this wrongdoing. Thank goodness for Scott Adams, for the people. We need more commissioners like him. Lost $250 I hope the person who found the envelope in the Regions parking lot with $250 in it en- joys it or needs it because I cer- tainly appreciate the fact.

Banning the manufacture or importa- tion of high-capacity maga- zines had zero effect during the time the last so-called "as- sault weapons ban" was in ef- fect and would have even less now it would be just one more useless politically cor- rect law that only punishes law abiding citizens. It's like ban- ning chrome wheels to stop street racing. There are ap- proximately 100 million semi- automatic weapons in civilian hands in this country and con- servatively at least 10 maga- zines per weapon many people who own semi auto weapons possess many more, because they stocked up after the last ban expired. That would yield at least 1 billion - yes billion with a "b" maga- zines in this country (probably more). Banning the sale of new magazines would be useless and confiscating existing mag- azines only would be possible with house-to-house searches, such as in the Iraq war To top it all off, anyone with access to a 3-D printer can just print all the parts for a high capacity magazine (with the exception of the spring). 3-D printers are still in the $1,500- "To show resentment at a reproach is to acknowledge that one may have deserved it." Tacitus, 55-120 A.D. CITRUS COUNTY CHRONICLE Health care uncertainty We are inch- ing toward the hour when the Affordable Care Act the health care law known as Obamacare - will become real- ity. And some of us have more than a passing interest in what that is going to mean for our own specific family situations. Cary McMullen FLORIDA VOICES The law calls for each state to have a health insurance ex- change set up beginning next January so individuals without coverage can find affordable policies. Florida's state leaders, Republicans all, were counting on the November 2012 elections to sweep away the necessity of complying with the mandate and have done nothing to set up an exchange. That means it's virtually certain the federal government will set it up and run it for Florida. This background has led to an interesting dilemma for the Republicans, who live by the motto the states know much better than the feds how to run things. There's not a shred of evidence to support the claim, of course, but it makes them feel better to believe it. At a hearing last Tuesday (Jan. 22) in Tallahassee, two Re- publican senators on the Sen- ate Select Committee on the Affordable Care Act posed questions that capture both sides of the dilemma. "Why should we turn over control of our health care to the Feds instead of Floridians running it for Floridians?" asked Sen. Joe Ne- gron of Palm City. "Why on Earth would Florida want to run an exchange when it's just the fed- eral government telling us what to do with very, very little flexibility?" asked Sen. Aaron Bean of Fernandina Beach. The committee heard testi- mony from two witnesses who gave very different reasons for the same conclusion let the feds run the show for now. Professor Jonathan Gruber of MIT, who designed much of the state program in Massachusetts that was the model for Oba- macare, argued the point is ex- panding Medicaid and providing insurance for every- one, never mind the cost. Michael Cannon, director of health policy at the libertarian Cato Institute, said cost is the point and the more responsibil- ity read "blame" gets shifted to the federal govern- ment, the better Either way, many Floridians will look to the new exchange for affordable health care in- surance come January That in- cludes an adult son in our family who turns 26 in Decem- ber and is therefore going to be on his own for medical cover- age. He's employed as a teacher in a private school, but doesn't have benefits. My question is: Just how af- fordable will the affordable cov- erage be? Even those like me who have coverage through an employer pay a share of the cost that can run upward of $600 a month. A high- deductible policy paid out of his own pocket would cost much more and I'm sure our son wouldn't be able to afford it I know, there are supposed to be subsidies to ease the burden for those who earn below a cer- tain level, but the devil is in the details. How much will the sub- sidy be? How will it be applied? How good will the coverage be? Who knows? All should have to pay some- thing for their own health care. But the cost of health care has always been the unequal side of the equation in Obamacare. There have been no attempts to rein in for-profit Big Medicine and Big Pharma, and the solu- tion of Obamacare is just for everyone some with govern- ment help to pay them what they want. That's better than the solu- tion offered by Republicans, which is for everyone to pay them what they want without government help. And Medi- caid, what's that? We may yet get to a point where the equation is balanced, but the next year will be full of anxiety as we wait for answers about how the medical bills will get paid.

LETTERS > to the Editor I mia L OR SKa L WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 30, 2013 A13 Associated Press Egyptian riot police fire tear gas at protesters, not seen, during clashes Tuesday in front of the Semiramis Intercontinental hotel, background near Tahrir Square, Cairo. Egypt army chief warns state could collapse Associated Press PORT SAID, Egypt - Residents of this Mediter- ranean coastal city burying their dead from Egypt's wave of political violence vented their fury at Egypt's Islamist president and the Muslim Brotherhood on Tuesday, demanding his ouster and virtually de- claring a revolt against his rule, as the head of the mil- itary warned Egypt may collapse under the weight of its turmoil. Gen. Abdel-Fattah el- Sissi's strongly worded comments, his first since the crisis began, appeared aimed at pushing both sides in Egypt's political divide to reconcile and find a solution to the rap- idly spreading protests and riots across much of the country the past six days. But his breaking of his silence falls heaviest on President Mohammed Morsi, who has been un- able to contain the unrest by trying a tough hand, as protesters defied his dec- laration of a month-long state of emergency and curfew in Port Said and two neighboring cities. At least 60 people have been killed and hundreds injured since Thursday in clashes between police and protesters angry about what they call Islamists' moves to monopolize power and failure to ad- dress the country's multi- ple woes. In his comments, el-Sissi signaled the mili- tary would not move to put down protesters, saying troops are in a "grave predicament," forced to balance between "avoid- ing confrontation" with cit- izens and protecting state institutions. Trouble in Cairo In Cairo on Tuesday, rock-throwing protesters clashed with police firing tear gas for another day in battles that escalated after nightfall near Tahrir Square. The mayhem forced the nearby U.S. Em- bassy to suspend public services Tuesday, and the night before masked men tried to rob the neighbor- ing five-star Semiramis Hotel, a Cairo landmark, trashing the lobby before being forced out. Protesters in many cities around the country have battled police, cut off roads and railway lines and be- sieged government offices and police stations. But the most dramatic fraying of state control has been in the three cities along the Suez Canal, particularly Port Said, at the canal's Mediterranean end. Death in Port Said Violence exploded in Port Said on Saturday, leav- ing more than 40 dead since. The provincial gov- ernor has gone into hiding. Police are hunkered down. Tanks are in the streets by government buildings, but army troops have balked at enforcing Morsi's curfew order Residents in all three cities flouted the re- strictions with huge marches in the streets Monday and Tuesday night "The independent state of Port Said," proclaimed one protester's sign as thousands marched through the city Tuesday in funeral processions for two of those killed in the unrest "Down, down with the rule of the Guide," mourn- ers chanted, referring to the Brotherhood's top leader, known as the gen- eral guide, who opponents see as the real power be- hind Morsi's government. Tuesday evening, Morsi's office issued a statement saying the cur- few and state of emergency could be lifted or short- ened if the security situa- tion improves, apparently trying to ease the anger. WorldBRIEFS UN warned: Mali rebels may head for Libya UNITED NATIONS The U.N.'s special representative for Libya warned the Security Council on Tuesday that France's military of- fensive in northern Mali may drive Islamic in- surgents out and across the porous borders with Algeria and back into Libya. U.N. officials including peacekeeping chief Herve Ladsous said last year the hard-line Islamic occupation of northern Mali was partly triggered by the downfall of Libyan dic- tator Moammar Gadhafi in 2011, as well- trained militiamen fled into Mali with looted-heavy weapons, driving back the Malian army. U.N. special representative for Libya Tarek Mitri told the Security Council "the opposition of armed radical groups to the military inter- vention in Mali may exacerbate the situation (in Libya) given ideological and/or ethnic affil- iations as well as porous borders in Libya." French and African land forces are battling al-Qaida-linked Islamists in northern Mali, while a renewed bout of unrest has gripped Egypt following the two-year anniversary of the revolution that toppled strongman Hosni Mubarak. Sunday Times apologizes 'unreservedly' for cartoon LONDON The acting editor of Rupert Murdoch's Sunday Times newspaper apolo- gized "unreservedly" Tuesday for a cartoon depicting Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu building a wall using blood-red mortar that sparked outrage in the Jewish community. Jewish leaders have said the cartoon was reminiscent of anti-Semitic propaganda, which is often blood-drenched. Anger was heightened by the timing: The cartoon was published on Holocaust Memorial Day. Murdoch on Monday said the paper owed a "major apology" for publishing the cartoon by Gerald Scarfe, which shows Netanyahu wielding a long, sharp trowel and depicts ag- onized Palestinians bricked into the wall's structure. His newspaper's editor, Mark Ivens, met Tuesday with Jewish community leaders to express regret over the cartoon's publication. He called the cartoon a "terrible mistake" and apologized "unreservedly" for any offense caused, saying the timing was "inexcusable" and the associations "grotesque."

The administrator who oversees the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund, Sheila Birnbaum, announced Tuesday the fund was fi- nally poised to process pay- outs, after a deliberate start in which officials figured out how the program would work and lawyers pieced to- gether documentation for at least 16,000 applications.

He supports an inter- national movement called Global Zero that favors eliminating all nuclear weapons. That puts him outside the or- thodoxy embraced by many of his fellow Republicans but inside a widening circle of national secu- rity thinkers including Presi- dent Barack Obama who believe nuclear weapons are becoming more a lia- bility than an asset, less relevant to 21st century security threats like ter- rorism. "Sen. Hagel certainly would bring to office a more ambitious view on Chu nuclear reductions than Hag his predecessors," said Reput Steven Pifer, a senior fel- favy low at the Brookings In- elimin stitution. "While he nucl would likely take a less weap dramatic position in of- fice, it might not be a bad thing to have a secretary of defense ques- tion what nuclear deterrence re- quires today" The customary stance of de- fense secretaries in the nuclear age has been that the weapons are a necessary evil, a required ingredient in American defense strategy that can be discarded only at the nation's peril. bli na le E0 Hagel, 66, takes a subtly different view one shared by Obama but op- posed by those in Congress 1' who believe disarmament is weakness and that an outsized American nu- clear arsenal must be ck maintained indefinitely as el a counterweight to the nu- ican clear ambitions of anti- rs Western countries like eating North Korea and Iran. ar Hagel argues for doing ons. away with nuclear weapons entirely, but not immediately and not unilaterally Hagel, a Republican from Ne- braska whose nomination has drawn heated criticism for his past statements on Israel, Iran and gays, is likely to face ques- tions on nuclear issues at his Sen- ate confirmation hearing scheduled for Thursday A Viet- nam war veteran, he served in the Senate from 1997 to 2009. Associated Press A girl looks at a display Tuesday assessing the impact of supposed nuclear attack on Seoul at the Korea War Memorial Museum in Seoul, South Korea. North Korea appears all set to detonate an atomic device, but confirming the explosion when it takes place will be virtually impossible for outsiders, specialists said. UN experts poised to confirm any North Korean blast Associated Press SEOUL, South Korea With North Korea appearing set to det- onate an atomic device, the U.N. agency that detected two previous tests says it is prepared to confirm an explosion when it takes place. But experts say it might be diffi- cult to establish whether the blast is nuclear in nature. The best indication of a test will be seismic tremors and gases released into the air, phenomena that the Preparatory Commission for the Comprehensive Nuclear- Test-Ban Treaty identified from previous testing. The Vienna-based organiza- tion's most potent detection tools are more than 150 seismic sta- tions across the globe. Although very small in yield, North Korea's first test in 2006 was picked up by the CTBTO, as was a second test in 2009.

Kelly said Te'o didn't play his best, adding Alabama played a role. He said Tuesday only Te'o knows how it affected him. Also, Kelly said his inter- view with the Philadelphia Eagles was mainly to get more information about coaching in the NFL and his heart remains in college football. Kelly interviewed with the Eagles on Jan. 8, a day after the Irish were beaten 42-14 by Alabama in the title game. Moss: From star to afterthought with 49ers NEW ORLEANS - Randy Moss used to be a star. Now, he's just an af- terthought with the San Francisco 49ers. It's a role he's still strug- gling to accept. Moss spent much of his career as one of the NFL's top receivers. During Super Bowl media day Tuesday, he called himself "the greatest receiver ever to do it." That's a claim sure to be debated in NFL circles. One thing is certain: the 35-year-old Moss is no longer an elite receiver. This season with the 49ers, he caught 28 passes for 434 yards and three touchdowns. Cavs explore signing former No. 1 pick Oden CLEVELAND -A per- son with knowledge of the situation said the Cleve- land Cavaliers are explor- ing the possibility of signing center Greg Oden, the for- mer No. 1 overall pick whose NBA career has been sabotaged by injuries. The Cavs are doing their due diligence while looking at Oden, said the person who spoke to The Associ- ated Press on condition of anonymity because the team's interest is contingent upon the center's health. CBSSports.com first reported the Cavs and Miami Heat were pursuing Oden, who hasn't played since 2009. Oden has undergone three major knee surgeries. From staff reports Teach kids to tee off early In my opinion, golf is the single-greatest game ever in- vented, and every child should have the opportunity to learn the wonderful sport. Many sports give children skills they can carry into everyday life, but no other sport allows children to continue playing the game for their entire life. Consider the nine core values taught by The First Tee (our county's largest junior golf pro- gram): Honor, integrity, sports- manship, respect, confidence, responsibility, perseverance, courtesy and judg- ment. As parents, we all strive to Instill these val- ues in our children Wayne Larsen andintro- ducing a LINKS WITH child to LARSEN the game of golf will only re-enforce the values. Golf is the only sport where the player is responsible for keeping his or her own score, calls penalties on himself or her- self and ensures other competi- tors do the same. In golf, the biggest and strongest do not have a distinct advantage. To that point, I recently at- tended the annual PGA Mer- chandise show in Orlando, and walked past Gary Player, who - at only 5-foot-6 (maybe) won nine major championships while Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus were in their prime. Also at the show, I had the pleas- ure of meeting LPGA legend Nancy Lopez, who is a walking, talking billboard for the nine core values mentioned earlier Golf is a difficult game to learn, and initially I encourage parents to get children involved through group golf clinics or camps.

Is he back? Woods was asked that when he ended his 749-day drought by win- ning his World Challenge at the end of 2011. The question came up in various forms last year after each of his wins at Bay Hill, Memorial and the AT&T National at Congres- sional. And it was inevitable after winning for a record eighth time at Torrey Pines. Woods will be "back" when no else is in front of him. The answer he gave Monday after a four-shot win in the Farmers In- surance Open was he "never left." But that's not entirely accurate, be- cause Woods was the undisputed No. 1 player in golf for the better part of five years and now he's not. Everything he did last year, Rory McIlroy did better. You can believe Woods when he said he is excited about the year. Torrey Pines was his fourth win in his last 16 starts on the PGA Tour. Perhaps a better indication of his game is consistency He has fin- ished in the top 10 in six of his last seven tournaments around the world, which doesn't sound like that big of a deal except he hasn't had a stretch like that since he "left" at the end of 2009. So where is he now? It's too early to say Golf is off to a quirky start this year. Four weeks into the season, one tournament finished Tuesday because of wind and another tour- nament finished Monday because of fog. It becomes even more stilted with the schedule of the two biggest stars. The Pebble Beach National Pro- Am tournament director told the San Francisco Chronicle that Woods will not be playing next week. Woods' caddie told the Los Angeles Daily News he tried to talk him into playing Riviera but to no avail. So Woods has 23 days off until playing the Match Play Champi- onship. That's not a surprise. Mcll- roy, meanwhile, is in the middle of a four-week break and he won't show up until Match Play, either. So right when Woods generates a buzz by winning Torrey Pines, golf will have to do without him until the end of next month. It's tempting to make bold decla- rations about the rest of the year based on how Woods played last week, though the finish left just as many questions. And remember, it Associated Press Tiger Woods celebrates after his victory in the Farmers Insurance Open on Monday at Torrey Pines Golf course in San Diego. was only a week ago that Woods missed the cut in Abu Dhabi. Give it time. Still, there was something in- evitable about this win, beyond the location. Woods took over the tour- nament during a four-hole stretch in the second round when he rolled in a 25-foot birdie putt, hit 5-iron to 5 feet for eagle, had a two-putt birdie and then one-hopped his wedge off the flag for another birdie. His lead went from two shots after 36 holes, to four shots after 54 holes, to six shots at the close of business Sunday with 11 holes left. '"After last week, I think he was ir- ritated and I think he was a little upset at how he played," Hunter Mahan said Monday morning. "I think he wanted to make a state- ment, and there's not many guys in golf who can go to a tournament and make a statement, but he is. I think he's making one this week, and I think he's going to do everything he can to make this a double-digit win for himself and just kind of reclaim his dominance on the tour." Three record-breaking 278 bowling rounds C congratulations to Sean Fugere, a familiar figure in the local bowling community. On Monday, Jan. 21, during the Mon- day Night Special League at Parkview Lanes in Holder, Fugere rolled the highest triplicate set ever bowled in Citrus County with three 278 games in a row for an 834 series. Non-bowlers might not realize just how difficult an achievement this was until they count the total number of strikes bowled. In a three-game match, Sean threw 33 strikes. That is 11 strikes out of a possible 12 strikes in each game. Then on Wednesday, during the Wednesday Night Men's League, Sean added yet another accom- plishment when he rolled his third 300 game at Parkview Lanes. MEN The Citrus County Youth Bowling Tournament, sponsored by the Greater Citrus USBCA, was held last weekend at Beverly Hills Bowl with bowlers from the Youth Bowl- ing leagues at Manatee and Beverly Hills Bowl. The two-day event in- cluded team, singles and doubles matches. Tournament director Brian Car- ney announced the results of the tournament Monday In the team matches Sunday, first place went to The Furious Four, consisting of Jenna Williams, Addi- son Littlefield, Kayla Micali and Paul Micali. Coming in second was Team BLNT (Better Luck Next Time) with Joshua Cook, Matthew Alt, Alexander Alt and Cody Miller Doubles winners were Cook and Alex Alt with Claude Beckett and Hunter Brown taking second place. Singles matches bowled Saturday were split between bowlers 12 and under and those 13 and older In the 12-under division, Tyler Sandak took first place and Jenna Williams claimed second. In the 13-older di- vision, Alex Alt won first and Matthew Allen took second. High-single games bowled during the tournament were by Tyler San- dak with a 258 and Jenna Williams with a 256. Alex Alt bowled the highest series with a 650 scratch score. In addition to the team, singles and doubles events, bowlers who competed in all of the matches are eligible for scholarships, which will be awarded to the high boy and high girl bowler. Winners are the two bowlers whose total handicap score for all nine games bowled during two days were the highest. Alex Alt took the All Events title for the boys and Chandler Carney rolled the highest handicap score for the girls. Singles players ready for spotlight Spring is the singles player's time to shine.

Ravens LB Suggs stars at Super Bowl media day Associated Press NEW ORLEANS - Scenes and observations from the NFEs annual Super Bowl media day - interviews with players and team personnel from the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers on the field at the Superdome: Terrell Suggs stood up, threw down his micro- phone, kicked over his chair with a back heel as he stepped down from his podium, and then kicked over a cooler. Onlookers laughed, sat- isfied that the Baltimore Ravens' mischievous line- backer had properly punc- tuated the frenetic, free-for-all known as Super Bowl media day Suggs plays a central role in one of the more in- timidating defenses in the NFL, and at least some of the conversation involved football, and what it would take to slow down San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick in Sun- day's NFL championship game. But media day is never just about football, not even when the players are interviewing each other. Posing as a reporter, de- fensive end Arthur Jones asked Suggs which staple of Louisiana cuisine he preferred, gumbo or jambalaya. "That's a good question, and I'm glad you asked that, Arthur," Suggs said. "Definitely gumbo." Suggs also was asked if he is the best dancer in the locker room: "No way 'Be Nasty,' (safety) Bernard Pollard he's definitely the best dancer. And I think if we get this done come Sunday, you all will get to see a good dose of it." And maybe even get a Associated Press Baltimore Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs (55) reacts Tuesday during the team photo at media day for Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans. song from Suggs. He wasn't shy about serenading everyone with a rendition of Meatloaf's "I Would Do Anything For Love," mo- ments after he took his seat behind the microphone. For the second year in a row, Super Bowl media day was open to fans for the price of a $25 ticket. They were allowed to sit in sections of seats along the sideline with good views of players on the field, and paid attendance was 5,479, according to NFL spokesman Michael Signora. When fans walked in, they were given gift bags that included small radios so they could listen to in- terviews. Other items were mostly product sam- ples from sponsors, in- cluding chips and laundry detergent. Among the fans were John Grimsley and Lisa Wyatt of Baltimore, sitting together a few rows from the field wearing purple jerseys with the No. 52 of star Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis. They said the ticket price was worth it. "This is a very rare ex- perience," said Grimsley, who has Ravens season tickets and tickets to Sun- day's big game. "I've never been to anything like this. To be able to see all the Ravens being interviewed, to see some of these guys up close, you don't really get to see that when you go to the games. They're there and then they're gone." The NFL says 5,205 re- porters from 24 countries have credentials for the game, and some chose to work in costume at media day There was a correspon- dent from the Nickelodeon television network dressed as a super hero called Pick Boy, wearing black tights with a cape and trim of flu- orescent orange and green. Pick Boy approached 49ers practice squad line- backer Nate Stupar, asking him if he wanted to race. Stupar declined, saying he wasn't about to risk pulling any muscles for something like that. "I would say that's the first time I got interviewed by a guy with a cape on," Stupar said. "It's enter- tainment and it's going to be fun to be around the en- tire week."

Swift has people buzzing about her recent red-carpet choices, which have included plunging necklines and shorter skirts. While her choices may be de- mure compared with the Kim Kardashians of the world, for Swift, a former teen sweetheart, it's raised eyebrows, and she ac- knowledges that it's been a bit of a shock for some people who are accustomed to seeing her wear long dresses. She recalled how her decision to wear shorts at last year's MTV Video Music Awards caused a stir. "It was like, 'Gasp, Taylor wears shorts.' And I thought it was hi- larious," she said, adding: "I'm not going to be like taking my clothes off or that sort of thing."

When Timmy Nguyen comes to his pre- calculus class, he's already learned the day's lesson he watched it on a short online video prepared by his teacher for homework. So without a lecture to listen to, he and his classmates at Segerstrom Fundamental High School spend class time doing practice problems in small groups, taking quizzes, ex- plaining the concept to other stu- dents, reciting equation formulas in a loud chorus, and making their own videos while teacher Crystal Kirch buzzes from desk to desk to help pupils who are having trouble. It's a technology-driven teaching method known as "flipped learning" because it flips the time-honored model of classroom lecture and ex- ercises for homework the lecture becomes homework and class time is for practice. "It was hard to get used to," said 11th-grader Nguyen. "I was like, 'Why do I have to watch these videos? This is so dumb.' But then I stopped complaining and I learned the material quicker My grade went from a D to an A." Flipped learning apparently is catching on in schools across the na- tion as a younger, more tech-savvy generation of teachers is moving into classrooms.

Students in Dan Koch's Citrus Springs -Middle School seventh-grade class read 40,an essay and then answer a series of questions. The essay isn't found in a textbook, though. Students access it by scanning a ,bar code on their iPads. "They're awesome!" Aidan Ellis said of the iPads, issued to CSMS seventh- graders this year as part of a $150,000 federal Race to the Top grant. "They've really helped us out in class." Along with reading bar codes, iPads have replaced some- but not all- text- books. They allow students and teachers ..to interact outside the classroom. It lets students email homework assignments and receive lesson plans when they're out sick, or even in detention. "It doesn't replace what we do," Koch said. "If I did all this without an iPad, I'd have a ton of paper The workflow is much easier" Principal David Rowland said the use of iPads tends to increase the turning in .-- of homework assignments. Teachers are seeing higher grades on quizzes and tests. .. "The engagement level of kids is .higher than ever in the seventh grade," he said. "The student learning should rise." The grant provided 275 students with iPads. Students take the iPads home with them and are responsible for their upkeep.

MATTHEW BECK/Chronicle Tutor helps students learn formula for success Engineer writes math books SHAWN LEWIS The Detroit News RIVERVIEW, Mich. - Nicholas Aggor says he can turn struggling math students into "walking calculators." He's not a math teacher, but he understands stu- dents' difficulties with equations and fractions. Several years ago, his two sons were removed from their fifth-grade math classes and placed in the lowest-performing classes because they were struggling. The senior automotive industry engineer faced a tough decision: Go for the promotion with a six- figure salary, or quit his job to help his sons. "I was on track to be- come a vice president, and know I could have gotten the position, but I want the best for my sons and they needed my help," he said. "I looked at the math text- books they were using and realized why they weren't learning. There were re- search-based textbooks, but lacked engineering built-in quality controls." Aggor, 54, quit his job and began writing his own math chapters for Joshua, now 18, and Samuel, 19, to study He also taught them to chant their multiplica- tion tables 10 minutes every day, like a song.

The former Okaloosa County school superintendent said the test-based evaluation system and a related per- formance pay plan are too compli- cated and fail to draw clear distinctions between the best and worst teachers. The Florida Department of Educa- tion last month released the first pre- liminary evaluation results. They showed nearly 97 percent of teachers across Florida were rated "effective" or "highly effective." Those are the top two out of five possible ratings. "How can you have a C- or D- ranked school in which 85 percent, or 90 or 95 percent of the teachers are classified as effective or highly effec- tive?" the Republican from nearby Niceville said during an interview Monday "It seems to me that those ... if I had $480 million, I would try to figure out a way to pay our best teachers more.

MATH Continued from Page Cl He since has written 800- to 900-page math books for grades five through eight and Algebra 1. His most recent book is "How to Make Successful Students." He also produced a series of DVDs to help children learn their multiplication tables by chanting equations such as 3 times 2 is 6,3 times 3 is 9 in a sing-song manner Aggor said the books "A Step-By- Step Math Teaching Series for Students, Teachers and Parents" conform to the state's core standards. They're used as supplementary texts in the Riverview School District, as well as in the Ann Arbor Public Library and in several Detroit Public Library branches. Aggor said the Duval County School District in Florida also uses his math books as a supplement to standard math texts. Aggor is corresponding with several national education groups, trying to in- corporate the books in curricula across the country For now, this is how he makes his living. Joshua Aggor attributes his father's textbooks to his success. "His books, videos and programs helped me to enter pre-medicine, and I would like to become a surgeon to help people with injuries and ill- nesses all around the world," he said. "My dad could have been making a six-figure salary now if he had re- mained as a senior engineer, but he never complained. What an amazing grace." The principal at Memorial Elemen- tary School in Riverview, where both sons attended, said the books could be helpful for parents. "The books can be a benefit to stu- dents but maybe even more to parents because they're very user-friendly," said Nancy Holloway. "A lot of times parents forget the math, and I can definitely see how they'd be helpful." Nicholas Aggor is paying forward the sacrifices made by his father while growing up in the remote village of Peki in the Volta region of Ghana in West Africa. "My father was a farmer, and he spent all the money he had for me to come to America to further my education," said Aggor. "He told my mother but he never told me he wanted to do that for me because I never gave them any trouble." His goal is to have toddlers singing their multiplication tables in the same manner they sing the alphabet when they're learning to talk. Aggor chokes up when describing his desire to help all children duplicate those results. "My only moral regret is that I could not help the many other students the same way I helped my sons," he said. "I see many innocent children failing their math tests every year, but nobody is there to fix the problem." LEARN Continued from Page C1 held all over the country, said executive director Kari Afstrom. Under the model, teach- ers make eight- to 10- minute videos of their lessons using laptops, often simply filming the white- board as the teacher makes notations and recording their voice as they explain the concept The videos are uploaded onto a teacher or school website, or even YouTube, where they can be accessed by students on computers or smartphones as homework For pupils lacking easy access to the Internet, teachers copy videos onto DVDs or flash drives. Kids with no home device watch the video at school. Class time is then de- voted to practical applica- tions of the lesson often more creative exercises designed to engage stu- dents and deepen their understanding.

"It's a student-focused classroom, where the re- sponsibility for learning has flipped from me to the students," said Kirch, who has been taking this ap- proach for two years. The concept emerged five years ago when a pair of Colorado high school teachers started videotap- ing their chemistry classes for absent students. "We found it was really valuable and pushed us to ask what the students needed us for," said one of the teachers, Aaron Sams, now a consultant who is de- veloping an online educa- ?oou( Pnn Ent rtanr&nt V LuNNTINE'SDiVY~2/14 4 COURSES PLUS WINNER BEER & DESSERT SbIsons lo [at At Dn's REASON URAN BURG $5 REASON 10 FRI AN REASON I REASON 3:00 SEARI 4 q REASON P' MAIN S) 5 $1A1 . . $15.

Do you ever wonder what the universe is made of? What makes it work? People have been trying to answer these questions for thousands of years. Scientists often use two different words to describe everything around us: matter and energy. To learn more about matter 7 and energy, The Mini Page talked with a scientist from the National Science Foundation. In this issue, we will talk about matter. In a future issue, we will talk about energy. Matter is the stuff all around us. Planets, butterflies, mountains, viruses, cats, dirt, skyscrapers, ffrogs, air, bones, flowers, chocolate, rivers, S',.. dinosaurs, dogs and people are all made of '":-- 7 matter. The Hubble Space Telescope is made of matter. It is a tool we use to expand the reach of our senses, searching out matter throughout the universe. What is matter? Everything we can detect with our five senses is matter. If we can hear, touch, taste, see or smell something, it is matter. Matter also includes a bunch of stuff we can't hear, touch, taste, see or smell. Sometimes we need special instruments to "see" matter. We might need a microscope, a telescope or even more powerful tools. from The Mini Page 2013 Universal Uclick Taking up space Experts say we can think of matter as anything that takes up space. We often describe matter by talking about its mass. Mass is how much stuff there is in something. It is not the same as weight. For example, on Earth, a 1-pound box of cereal might hold 600 puffed corn pieces. If you take it to the moon, it would only weigh about one-sixth of a pound.* But there would still be 600 puffed corn pieces. The mass would stay the same. It would still take up the same amount of space. *The gravity on the moon is about one- sixth as much as it is on Earth, so things weigh about one-sixth as much on the moon. The Galileo spacecraft took this picture of the moon. Meet the Bailey Sisters Sisters Chloe and Halle Bailey, who are singers and actors, recently won the Season 5 Radio Disney talent competition, "Next Best Thing." Chloe, 14, and Halle, 12, are from Atlanta. These songwriters and Chloe (left) and Halle performers have had more than 10 million views on YouTube. Chloe plays piano, and Halle plays guitar. They have appeared in several movies, including "Joyful Noise" and the Disney Channel's "Let It Shine." Chloe began acting when she was 2 years old; Halle began when she was 3 years old. Chloe loves science and electronics. Halle loves to swim, run and ride her bike. fmThe Mini Page 2013 Unvrsl U cick Sfrm Th Mini Page 2013 Unn...al Ucck Goodsport's Rep Supersport: J.J. Watt Height: 6-5 Birthdate: 3-22-89 Weight: 295 Hometown: Pewaukee, Wis. Houston Texan fans are ecstatic that J.J. Watt is playing on their team. Opponents no doubt wish he had raised cattle or gone into the oil business. In his second NFL season, J.J. (Justin James) is an all-star caliber defensive end and wrecking machine. In the first 14 games, "Mega Watt" recorded a team-record 19.5 sacks. Putting quarterbacks on their back is his specialty. A football All- American and honor student at Wisconsin, Watt was picked in the first-round NFL draft choice. Houston, division champs again, have given him a big contract and are getting a Texas-size return for their investment. fromA Fine Mi State of 2013UnrAffairsUclck A Fine State of Affairs Forms of matter Matter can take several forms. We are most familiar with three of these forms, or states, of matter: gas, liquid and solid. Matter can change from one state to another, but it is still the same substance. For example, the water we drink is liquid. Water in rivers and lakes is W liquid. But when that water freezes, it turns to ice. It becomes solid. When we heat water to a certain temperature, it turns to gas, or water vapor. It becomes steam. But in all these f forms, it is still water. The type of matter doesn't change. The elements An element (EL-uh-muhnt) is a substance that cannot be broken apart into different substances. For example, water is not an element. It can be divided into oxygen and hydrogen. But hydrogen is an element. Oxygen is an element. Each element stays the same no matter how much of it there is and no matter where it is. This iceberg is part of Antarctica's ice sheet. All three states of matter are in this view of our southernmost continent. Liquid water is in the ocean and clouds. Solid water is in the ice and snow. Solid ice crystals are in the clouds too. The land S is solid. And although we can't see it in the photo, S water vapor, or gas, is in the sky. Other gases, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, are also in the sky. Elements here and beyond We know of about 120 elements in our universe. Scientists have discovered most of them and created others. tGold is an element. It is still gold whether it's in a nugget, a coin or jewelry. Atom icTh Min W orlge 2013 Unal Ucick Atomic World Atomic building blocks Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter. Buses, beetles, 1 braids, blood, bells, berries, books and burgers are all made of atoms. An atom is the smallest part of an element that keeps the same characteristics as when it is bigger. For example, an atom of gold has the same 1, characteristics i t ' as a mountain 1q' of gold. If we -- could see it, it -- would be shiny and yellowish. The gold in the mountain would melt at the same temperature as the gold atom would melt. The atom is still gold. -^ -_- Atoms are S 4 very, very tiny. Billions could 7 -K fit on the period N, \ at the end of this sentence. The Mini Page thanks Dr. Bradley Keister, program director, National Science Foundation, for help with this issue. Look through your newspaper for pictures of things made of matter. How many different kinds of things can you spot? Next week, The Mini Page is all about ballet. The making of an atom Itty bitty atoms are made of even tinier particles: protons, electrons and neutrons. These particles are the same no matter what element they are in. For example, a proton in a gold atom is just like a proton in an oxygen atom. Hydrogen Alorn The number of protons in each / " atom is electron proton what turns that atom into a certain element. For example, __ | hydrogen The hydrogen atom has atoms have one proton, one electron one proton. and no neutrons. Gold atoms have 79 protons. Protons and electrons have an electrical charge. Protons have a positive charge. Electrons have a negative charge. There are always the same number of protons and electrons in a stable atom. They balance each other out. Neutrons have no charge. The number of neutrons per atom varies. These scientists are studying a giant-sized model of a hydrogen atom. A special machine called an AlloSphere magnifies tiny atoms so they are big enough for scientists to view what is going on. Atomic structure The protons and neutrons are in the center, or nucleus (NOO-klee- uhs), of the atom. Electrons whiz This is the older, planetary- around the type model of an atom. It is still the image we usually nucleus, picture. When people first pictured the atom, they thought electrons orbited the nucleus just like the planets orbit the sun. We now know that electrons don't follow the same regular path over and over. Instead, they speed around the nucleus in a kind of cloud. Protons and neutrons are made of even smaller bits called quarks. We don't know yet if electrons are made of smaller parts.

Mark Twain said, "There are several good protections against temptation, but the surest is cowardice." At the bridge table, though, it is not cowardice to avoid temptation if that would risk your going down in a contract that must succeed with an al- ternative line of play. This deal features one of the strongest lures in bridge. How should South play in four spades after West leads the diamond jack? Two no-trump is the right opening bid with that South hand. If North had raised to three no- trump, there would have been nine easy tricks. But it was normal to use Stayman. South starts with four potential losers: three hearts and one club. He has nine top tricks: five spades, three diamonds and one club. It is tempting to draw trumps and to try the club fi- nesse. If it wins, declarer is trying for an over- trick, but what happens when it loses? Unless West unwisely shifts to hearts, South should lose three hearts and go down one. The club finesse should be avoided. Instead, at trick two, declarer should play a spade to dummy's queen. When the suit does not break 4-0, South draws trumps, cashes his two re- maining diamond winners and the club ace, then leads the club queen. West wins but is endplayed. If he shifts to a heart, declarer plays second hand low and loses only two tricks in the suit. Alternatively, if West returns a diamond or a club, South ruffs in the dummy (gaining a sixth spade trick) and sluffs a heart from his hand.

Dear Annie: I've been with a wonderful guy for five years. After two abusive marriages, I am fi- nally being treated right. "Bud" and I have only two is- sues: money and kids. We have broken up a few times over our problems, but hon- estly, I can't live P- without him. Bud is 44 years old and owns his own business, but he does not save money When I met him, he had noth- ing. Now he has $20,000 in a retire- ment account and another $5,000 in ANN savings. He finally MAIL has his two kids pretty well straight- ened out, although they will never be exactly normal. Bud still doesn't manage his money well. He needs so many things in his house, yet he went out and bought a truck he doesn't need. He now has six years of payments on it, his auto insurance went up, and if he ever needs new tires, we are talking thousands of dol- lars. I want him to sell it and get a reasonably priced truck. He says he will lose money on the sale, which is true, but why sink even more into it? Both of my marriages in- volved men who overspent on themselves, so I know I have a tendency to be extra cautious. How can I convince Bud that he did the wrong thing by buy- ing the truck, but that he still has time to fix it? I won't marry a man I can't trust with my money Not again. - Thrice Shy Dear Thrice: You can't treat Bud like a child, even if he makes poor financial deci- sions. He will resent it and push back. Instead, approach all such matters jointly, being respectful of each other's opinions, even when you dis- agree. You also could offer to take over the handling of finances for the household, keeping everyone within a reasonable budget. But you are wise not to commingle your money if you don't trust Bud's ability to handle it. Before marrying, consider financial IE'S counseling together .BOX through your bank or the National Foundation for Credit Counseling (nfcc.org). Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married 27 years. We each have grown children from previous marriages. My husband's 42-year-old unmarried son lives out of state. "Mike" is self-support- ing, but the only time we hear from him is when he needs some extra money He lives alone except for his dogs. For the past three years, Mike has spent Christmas with us, stay- ing three or four days. We are always happy to see him, even though we only have two bed- rooms and he brings the dogs even one who is incontinent. Last year, my daughter (who also lives out of state) visited with her two children. We had- n't seen her in two years. My husband also was scheduled for knee replacement surgery the following week. So when Mike asked to come with his dogs and a new puppy, we ex- plained that it wasn't a good time. We asked him to come in February or March, while his father recuperated and hopefully, the puppy would be housebroken. We have not heard from him since, even though I have left numerous messages on his voicemail. What more can I do to mend this fragile relation- ship? In the Middle Dear Middle: Not much. You have explained, and you have called. We trust you will keep all of the kids informed of Dad's progress, including Mike. But it is up to him to make the next move. We sus- pect when he needs money, he will get in touch again. Dear Annie: Most women who responded to "Your Hus- band" do not understand men very well. Without sex, men feel incomplete. It's part of how we feel loved. Women should realize how important sex is to a man simply by see- ing that he is willing to risk everything his wife, family and assets to fill this void. - Feeling the Void in Indiana Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

TEACHER Continued from Page C1 parents time to institu- tionalize the reforms that have already been made. We need about a two-year cooling off period." The evaluations will be used to determine teacher salaries under the performance pay plan, which is supposed to go into effect next year. Both are part of a 2011 law that also ended tenure for newly hired teachers. The law is being challenged in court by the Florida Education Asso- ciation, the statewide teachers union. Gaetz blamed the De- partment of Education and former Education Commissioner Gerard Robinson for failing to adequately support and help school districts in implementing the new law. He said he's counting on Robinson's successor, Tony Bennett, to simplify the evaluation system and pay plan and make them understandable. "If you can't explain it, then you can't defend it," Gaetz said. He added that lawmakers who passed it, including himself, would be hard-pressed "to ex- plain how this system works and how it's fair and rational." In many cases, teachers are evaluated on the basis of students they've never taught because their own students aren't tested or due to turnover. Bennett, who was hired as Florida's schools chief after los- ing a bid for re-election as Indiana's superinten- dent of public instruc- tion in November, recently told the Senate Education Committee that the 2011 law may need to be tweaked. Gaetz also was cool to Gov Rick Scott's latest education proposal, a $2,500 across-the-board pay raise for teachers, which would cost $480 million. "I believe that teachers in this state are under- paid, but if I had $480 mil- lion I would try to figure out a way to pay our best teachers more," Gaetz said.
