Man arrested for stealing candy from police officers
CINCINNATI — Talk about sticky fingers: Police arrested a man they said tried to take their candy bars. Police in the southwest Ohio city of Middletown, around 30 miles north of Cincinnati, charge that Derek Kidd, 32, tried to walk out of the station with two candy bars and a police toboggan cap. Police Maj. Mark Hoffman said Kidd and his girlfriend had just been released Wednesday after
disorderly conduct arrests and were asking passers-by to use a cell phone. He invited them inside to use a police phone.
While the woman was on the phone, Hoffman said, he chased Kidd out of a break room.
As they left, Hoffman said, another officer spotted his blue knit "MPD" logo cap under Kidd's cap. Police said during a pat down, they found two of their Whatchamacallit brand candy bars and two used syringes Kidd had taken from a disposal container.

Obamas light Christmas tree

First lady Michelle Obama and daughters Malia and Sasha helped President Barack Obama press a button to light the tree, an annual tradition since the 1920s. "I'm technologically challenged and I might not get this right," the president joked. "Everybody has got to help me out here."
WASHINGTON—Surrounded by celebrity performers and characters from the North Pole, the Obama family on Thursday led a countdown and lighted the National Christmas Tree.
The Obamas and the spectators
Performers including singer Sheryl Crow, hip hop artist Common and "American Idol" winner Jordin Sparks dazzled the crowd, bundled in coats and scarves.

"You know what I'm talking about," Mrs. Claus told the Obamas, referring to the couple's nights out on the town together. The president later met Santa Claus on stage and briefly danced with him.
"I told Sasha we're not on 'American Idol,'" the president said at one point. The Obama family and Vice President Joe Biden and his grandchildren watched from seats beside the stage, behind a clear protective shielding.
The characters Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus also joined the celebration, saying it was their "date night."
Before the tree was lit, Obama said its story might be Christian but its lesson is universal.
"It represents a tradition that we celebrate as a country — a tradition that has come to represent more than any one holiday or religion, but a season
He said it's important to remember those who have lost their jobs and homes in this season as well as military service members and their families who are apart during the holidays. "We will be thinking of you and praying for you during this holiday season," he said.
of brotherhood and generosity to our fellow citizens," he said.
Every president has presided over the tree lighting since Calvin Coolidge in 1923. The current National Christmas Tree was planted on the Ellipse in 1978.
