Congress OKs $9.7B in Sandy flood aid

The Associated Press WASHINGTON The new Congress on Friday rushed out $9.7 billion to help pay flood insurance claims to 115,000 people and businesses afflicted by Superstorm Sandy, two days after New Jerseys governor and other Northeast Republicans upbraided Speaker John Boehner for killing a broader package for state and local governments in the storms path. The bill replenishes the National Flood Insurance Program that was due to run out of money next week with the pending Sandy-related claims as well as 5,000 unresolved claims from other floods. Its a small down payment on the larger aid we need, said Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. The legislation cleared the Senate by a voice vote following passage by the House, 354-67. The government already has spent about $2 billion on the emergency response to the late October storm, one of the worst ever in the Northeast. It slammed the Atlantic coastline from North Carolina to Maine, with the worst damage occurring in New York City and its suburbs, New Jersey and Connecticut. The storm is blamed for 140 deaths. Boehner has promised a vote Jan. 15 on a broader, $51 billion package of aid, which would bring the total to the more than $60 billion requested by President Barack Obama. Senate leaders have promised a vote the following week. The Senate passed a $60.4 billion bill a week ago but

House Republicans, complaining that it was laden with pork projects unrelated to the storm, cut it by more than half. Boehner canceled a New Years Day vote on it after nearly two-thirds of House Republicans voted against the fiscal cliff package of tax and spending increases. The White House praised Fridays vote helping homeowners, renters and businesses, and urged Congress to act quickly on the remainder of Obamas request. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo issued a joint statement also imploring Congress to move hastily on the rest of the money. We are trusting Congress to act accordingly on January 15th, they said. It was a more temperate response than was heard earlier in the week, when a livid Christie blistered House Republicans and Boehner himself for holding up the aid and other GOP figures from the region, as well as Democrats, cried betrayal. All of the no votes in the House were cast by Republicans, who said other government programs should have been cut to pay for the measure. As with past natural disasters, the Sandy aid proposals do not provide for offsetting spending cuts, meaning the aid comes at the cost of higher deficits. The bill gives more authority to the National Flood Insurance Program to borrow money from the U.S. Treasury to pay claims. Premiums average about $625 per year and residential claims under the program average nearly $30,000.

Wounded ex-Rep. Giffords meets with Conn. families

By JOHN CHRISTOFFERSEN The Associated Press NEWTOWN, Conn. Nearly two years after being critically wounded in a mass shooting, former Arizona congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords on Friday met with families of victims in last months shooting that left 26 people dead inside a Connecticut elementary school. Giffords was accompanied by her husband, astronaut Mark Kelly, at the private meeting in Newtown that was also attended by U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal. As always, I was deeply impressed by the strength and courage and resolve of the families and the extraordinary caring and generosity of Gabby Giffords and Mark Kelly in visiting with them, Blumenthal said. Giffords, a Democrat, met earlier in the day with officials including Connecticuts lieutenant governor and Newtowns first selectman. Giffords was left partially blind, with a paralyzed right arm and brain injury, when a gunman opened fire at a constituent meet-and-greet outside a Tucson grocery store on Jan. 8, 2011. Arizonas chief federal judge and five others were killed and 13 people, including Giffords, were injured. The gunman, Jared Lee Loughner, pleaded guilty to

19 federal charges and was sentenced to seven consecutive life sentences, plus 140 years. Kelly has become a vocal advocate for gun control in recent months, most notably at Loughners sentencing in November. He lashed out at politicians for avoiding a meaningful debate about gun laws and called out Arizona Republicans, including the governor, for taking a pro-gun stance in the months after the shooting. As a nation we have repeatedly passed up the opportunity to address the issue. After Columbine, after Virginia Tech, after Tucson and after Aurora, we have done nothing, he told the court. He has issued strongly worded statements many times since the massacre in Connecticut, including a harsh response to the National Rifle Associations reaction to the shooting. He often begins statements with Gabby and I as he makes pointed comments about the direction of the gun debate in America. Kelly said on the day of the Newtown shooting that it should lead to better gun control. This time our response must consist of more than regret, sorrow, and condolence, Kelly said on his Facebook page, calling for a meaningful discussion about See SHOOTING, page 2

How i got my first deer

So here is the story of how I got my first deer. They say when you see a deer wait because theres always at least one more. How true this proved to be for me the Saturday before Christmas. I and my little family were on the way to Van Wert on Lincoln Highway just after dusk. We had Ringo in the car because we figured he could use an outing. Hes a very good traveler, often falling asleep halfway through the ride. He seems to enjoy coming with us so we take him whenever we can. We were approaching the river bridge just east of Converse-Roselm Road and I saw it. A deer! Wait. There were more of them! Holy Cats! What am I supposed to do? They were all the way across the road. If I went left, I was hitting a deer. If I went right, I was hitting a deer. If I stayed the course forward, yup, you guessed it, I was hitting a deer. I was also concerned about little Ringo in the back seat. I didnt want to slam on my breaks and thrown him around and possibly through the windshield. With few options, I just hung on and kept going straight and bam! These were no small deer. Luckily, they were does and didnt have antlers. The one I hit came up and over the car and my eyes met one of its as it sailed over. If it had had antlers, Im pretty sure they would have come through the windshield. That would have been messy to say the least. My husband swore he saw deer limbs flying and Im not so sure he didnt. It happened

really fast. He also said the lead deer leaped around and over the back of the vehicle as we traveled through the pack. I kind of saw that, too. When we pulled over in a better lit area to survey the damage, I was shaking. I was saddened I had killed at least one deer and I was freaking out because my car was trashed and the accident had scared the crap out of me. My headlight was pulverized. The hood was dented and raised about four inches leaving a gap at the drivers side. The drivers side front quarter panel was crumpled. My drivers side mirror was hanging by its wires. And it only took about half a second. The important thing was we were all OK. Shaken up, but OK. I think Ringo knew something had happened but wasnt sure what. We were making a fuss over him but he really didnt care why; he was just enjoying it. Someone else enjoyed my first deer. I could hardly see myself tossing it in the trunk and I had no idea who I would call to dress it, etc. I dont think I could have enjoyed it anyway. So deer 1, Sable 0.

Video causes web furor over Ohio athletes rape case

By KAnteLe FrAnKo the Associated Press STEUBENVILLE An online video fueling social media reaction to the case of two eastern Ohio high school football players charged with rape isnt new evidence for state investigators handling the case, the attorney general said Friday. The 16-year-old boys are set for trial Feb. 13 in juvenile court in Steubenville on allegations that they raped a teenage girl last August. Special prosecutors and a visiting judge are handling the case because local authorities knew people involved with the football team in the small city. At a probable cause hearing last fall, teenagers not charged in the case testified that the victim was intoxicated and at times unresponsive on the night of the alleged assault, according to the local newspaper, the Steubenville Herald-Star. Public interest increased this week with the online circulation of an unverified video, lasting more than 12 minutes, that purportedly shows another young man joking about the alleged rape victim, also 16. The video apparently was released by hackers who allege more people were involved and should be held accountable. Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWines office said state investigators aiding local police were aware of the video before it spread online. Theyre not commenting on details of the video or what other evidence authorities have. DeWine criticized the video Friday and said his heart goes out to rape victims. I think what is unique and different about this case is that the victim continues to be victimized every time that there is some image thats posted up on the Internet, every time that you have a despicable 12-minute video like we saw yesterday, he said. You know, I can just imagine how I would feel if this was my daughter. Attorneys for the defendants, Trent Mays and MaLik Richmond, who played football for Steubenville High School, didnt immediately respond to Associated Press requests for comment Friday. The attorneys have denied the charges in court. The boys were charged with rape after the teenage girls parents contacted police about the alleged assault in mid-August. Mays also is charged with illegal use of a minor in nudityoriented material. Kidnapping charges against both defendants were dropped after a probable cause hearing, according to the court. The visiting judge has ruled the case will remain in juvenile court, not be moved to adult court. Authorities continue pleading for anyone with information about what happened to come forward, and the investigation has spurred heated commentary online. Some support the defendants and question the character of the teenage girl,

Shooting

while others allege a cover-up or contend more people should be charged. The latter group includes hacker-activists associating under the Anonymous and KnightSec labels who point to comments they say were posted around the time of the alleged attack on social media by several people who are not charged. A peaceful protest publicized by the hackers drew scores of people to the local courthouse last weekend. In a related issue, student Cody Saltsman and his family sued a blogger and anonymous posters to her blog site in a case that arose from online comments suggesting the student might have been involved but not charged. The suit was settled with the operator of the crime blog acknowledging that there was no evidence of Saltsmans involvement in the rape, and Saltsman apologizing in a statement for tweets he sent the night of the alleged attack.

On Wednesday, two days before she visited the Newtown families, she and Kelly met for an hour with New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a longtime and vociferous gun control advocate. Bloombergs office tweeted a photo of the meeting but wouldnt elaborate Friday on the discussion. President Barack Obama invoked the Tucson and Newtown elementary school shootings when he spoke at Newtown shortly after the attack. He said four shootings, including those two plus the attacks at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin and at a movie theater in Aurora, Colo., marked his first term in office. A recent Pew Research Center report says gun policy accounted for almost 30 percent of discussions examined on blogs and Twitter in the three days after the school massacre. It compares the response to the Newtown rampage with the Arizona shooting, saying that in the three days after that, just 3 percent of social media conversation was about gun laws.

Ohio drops The Delphos DNA Herald evidence testing turnaround

Nancy Spencer, editor Ray Geary, general manager Delphos Herald, Inc. Don Hemple, advertising manager Tiffany Brantley, circulation manager
Vol. 143 No. 152

COLUMBUS (AP) Ohios attorney general is highlighting a drop in the time it takes the states crime lab to process evidence. Improving the crime lab was a campaign priority for Attorney General Mike DeWine, who took office in 2011. DeWine says that in December 2010 state investigators took roughly 125 days to process biological evidence, typically blood or other body fluids that could link a suspect to a crime. The average turnaround time last year was about half that. And in December, the lab took a record low of 20 days for results. DeWine on Friday attributed the faster processing to hiring more forensic scientists, adding equipment and doing a top-to-bottom analysis of how the lab handles evidence. The labs staff size increased from 110 in January 2011 to its current 136.

Im hopeful that everyone who cares about this issue or has a stake in it will be active in supporting our effort in gun violence prevention legislatively, he said. Giffords visit came one day after Connecticut Gov. Dannel P.

Delphos Public Library to offer eBooks soon

We hope everyone had a nice, safe holiday season this year. The library is wrapping up another challenging, but busy year. By the end of the month patrons should have the capability of borrowing e-books from our library. This will be a big change to the library and its staff. In the meantime, if there is a particular title of book, movie, or music CD that you would like and we do not own it, please dont hesitate to ask staff to interlibrary loan the material for you. 9 new DVD titles were added to our collection this month: The Amazing SpiderMan Bourne Legacy The Dark Knight Rises Hope Springs Men In Black 3 Paranorman Santa Paws 2 Sparkle 12 Christmas Wishes For My Dog Fiction Bone River Megan Chance In the mid-19th century, Leonie Russell works alongside her husband, Junius, an oysterman in the Washington Territory. At night she continues her fathers lifelong obsession collecting artifacts and studying the native culture that once thrived in the area. On her thirty-seventh birthday, Leonie discovers a mummy protruding from a riverbank a mummy that by all evidence shouldnt exist. As Leonie searches for clues to the mummys origins, she begins to feel a strangely mystical connection to it. When Juniuss longlost son, Daniel, appears one day, a native elder insists that Leonie wear a special shell bracelet for protection. But protection from whom? The mummy or, perhaps Daniel? Dead Weight Susan Rogers Cooper When Berta Harris of E.J. Pughs weight-loss group succumbs to an untimely death, the twelve-step groups in attendance at her memorial service have plenty of explanations for the cause. But amateur sleuth E.J. has her own questions: why was Kerry Killian, an old friend and the realtor selling Berta Harriss house, murdered the day after E.J. questioned her? How is this linked to the mysterious death of Berta? And why would anyone in the group want to put on weight? As she immerses herself in these big questions, E.J.s marriage grows increasingly strained. Can she solve the mystery surrounding the deaths of Berta and Kerry and save her own marriage? Faithful Unto Death Stephanie Jaye Evans Everything looks perfect in Sugar Land, Texas, but its not. No one knows that better than Walker Bear Wells, a former college football player now serving as a minister in this upscale Texas town, where famous athletes mix with ranchers and the local parish priest wants to arm wrestle. Bear deals daily with emotional and spiritual problems, in both his flock and his own off the street and their bodies later found mutilated in a mysterious way. Dan Carters ex-wife, DI Kirsty Webb, leads the investigation into these brutal murders, which may somehow be linked to Hannah Shapiro. Non-Fiction Because I Said So! Ken Jennings Ken Jennings wants to find out if mother and father always know best. Yes, all those years you were told not to sit too close to the television (youll hurt your eyes!) or swallow your gum (it stays in your stomach for seven years!) or crack your knuckles (arthritis!) are called into question by our countrys leading trivia guru. Armed with medical case histories, scientific findings and even the occasional experiment on himself (or his kids), Jennings exposes countless examples of parental wisdom run amok. Spillover David Quammen The next big and murderous human pandemic, the one that kills us in millions, will be caused by a new disease new to human, anyway. The bug thats responsible will be strange, unfamiliar, but it wont come from outer space. Odds are that the killer pathogenmost likely a viruswill spill over into humans from a nonhuman animal. From what innocent creature, in what remote landscape, will the Next Big One emerge? In this age of speedy travel between dense human populations, an emerging disease can go global in hours. But where will it start? Recent outbreaks offer some guidance, and so Quammen traces the origins of Ebola, Marburg, SARS, avian influenza, Lyme disease, and other bizarre cases of spillover including the grim, unexpected story of how AIDS began from a single Cameroonian chimpanzee. Capturing Camelot: Stanley Treticks iconic images of the Kennedys Kitty Kelley Stanley Tretick, a consummate photojournalist, was sent by United Press International to follow the Kennedy campaign of 1960. The photographer soon befriended the candidate and took many of JFKs best pictures during this time. When Kennedy took office, Tretick was given extensive access to the White House, and the picture magazine Look hired him to cover the President and his family. Tretick is best known today for the photographs he took of President Kennedy relaxing with his children. His photographs helped define the American family of the early sixties and lent Kennedy an endearing image that greatly contributed to his popularity.

But every time he turns around, another facet of the investigation tangles with his own life.... Like the fact that the murdered mans son and a main suspect is currently dating his own rebellious teenage daughter. The Air We Breathe Christa Parrish Seventeen-year-old Molly Fisk does not go outside. For so long she has run away from a moment long in the past, but shes not running anymore. Shes hiding. Ruled by anxiety, she can only stare out the window of the tiny tourist-town museum she and her mother call home, longing to go outside.

How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these. George Washington Carver (1864-1943)

One Year Ago The Delphos Museum of Postal History is organizing a Night at the Museum gala event for Feb. 19. As part of the unique display, the museum is calling for mail art. Artists from the US and around the world are invited to submit original art based on the theme: Going Postal Whats It To You? 25 Years Ago 1988 After 23 years as marshal of the village of Fort Jennings it was time to retire, Ralph Menke said, so I just got out. He said he finds plenty to keep him busy even though he is also officially retired from his other longtime occupation, the shoe business. Menke started his repair business over 41 years ago in a little old log building next to his present store and home on Water Street. Call it the Jefferson jinx if you like.

In attempting to navigate my own thoughts, I keep bumping into advice my father gave me a long time ago: Learn Spanish. You will need it to survive in the world you will inherit. Living in Florida then, the trends were becoming obvious. They were literally in our neighborhood, where in 1960 a recently arrived Cuban family moved in a few doors down. Having just escaped Castros Cuba with only a few coins sewn in the hems of the mothers and daughters dresses, this family of six spoke little English. We became close friends and eventually, as much out of fascination and affection as pragmatism, I did learn their language and they mine. My fathers advice was prescient, if somewhat exaggerated. I havent needed Spanish to survive, though being bilingual has helped. A lot. As I often tell college audiences, I was hired for my first job not because I had a journalism degree (I didnt) but because I spoke Spanish. What was clear to my father even then is that our hemisphere could not long be segregated by language. Nor, apparently, can we be kept apart by borders, no matter how many fences we build or

WASHINGTON (AP) Congress made the obvious official on Friday. President Barack Obama has been re-elected. In a joint session, Congress formally certified that Obama and Vice President Joe Biden were the winners in the November election with 332 electoral votes, well more than the 270 required. Republican Mitt Romney and his running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, won 206 votes. Its a mostly ceremonial yet constitutionally necessary vote thats mostly intriguing to political junkies and policy wonks. The count Friday lacked the suspense of the drawn-out campaign and election but was steeped in tradition. Biden and about a dozen senators trekked across the Capitol from the Senate to the House chamber, and the vice president joined House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, on the rostrum. Senate pages carried two dark wooden boxes that contained the results of the electoral votes that had been counted in the state capitals last month. Clerks used silver letter openers to unseal the envelopes. Taking turns, the leaders of the Senate Rules Committee Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn. and the top members of the House Administration Committee Reps. Candice Miller, R-Mich., and Robert Brady, D-Pa. read the results from each state. Biden, who presided over the session, announced the final results to applause from the scattering of House and Senate members in the chamber. The 12th Amendment directs the electors chosen by the states to meet and vote for president and vice president. Each state gets its equivalent in the 435-member House and the 100-member Senate. The District of Columbia gets the other three electors. Their certified tally sheets must be counted in Washington.

It is hard to believe that we are starting our 20th year of operation. We never dreamed back then that we would be so fortunate to have our own building with such a variety of exhibits. But when we began the project of creating a museum dedicated to postal history back in 1993, one of our biggest challenges was to show people why such a museum was important. Obviously the Smithsonian Institution felt the importance since in July, 1995 they opened a multi-million dollar National Postal Museum adjacent to Union Station in Washington, DC. But how could people in this rural Ohio area find a connection to this concept? What could possibly be of interest in such a museum that would cause visitors to stop in Delphos, Ohio? The answer actually lies in the very fabric of our being the need to develop technology and the intense desire to communicate. As you enter the museum today located at 339 N. Main Street, the first series of displays outlines in detail the substance of todays article. Lets start this journey by looking back at the colonial era of America. Who better to connect with the development of technology and communication than the inventor and newspaper publisher Mr. Benjamin Franklin? After running away from his home in Boston in 1723, he settled in Philadelphia. Here in just a few years he had started his own print shop establishing himself both as a writer and businessman. In 1728 he purchased the Pennsylvania Gazette and began publication of Poor Richards Almanack in 1732. In 1737, Franklin was

appointed by the English Crown to be postmaster of Philadelphia. The most significant aspect of that appointment was that postmasters were able to determine which publications could travel through the mails and which newspapers could travel for free. This now allowed Franklins Gazette to travel through the mail since the former postmaster of Philadelphia owned a rival newspaper and had barred Franklins Gazette from the mail. Now you can see why many of the postmasters at that time were also newspaper publishers. To this very day, newspapers that travel through the mail do so at a reduced rate while affording them the most expedient delivery. The Postmaster General of the colonies from 1743 1753 was a gentleman named Elliott Benger. Shortly after Franklins appointment, Benger gave him additional responsibilities as the Comptroller, which included financial oversight of neighboring post offices. In this capacity he developed a simple accounting system for postmasters to keep track of postal funds. On Aug. 10, 1753, Benjamin Franklin and William Hunter of Virginia became joint Postmasters General for the American Colonies. Franklin began surveying roads and measuring distances between post offices. He had developed an odometer and attached it to the wheels of his carriage to determine the shortest routes in order to increase the speed of delivery between cities. He inspected roads and caused post riders to travel by both day and night. While serving as postmaster,

he designed a piece of sorting equipment that is still used in post offices today. He referred to it has the pigeonhole case. It allowed for speedy separation of mail at each post office. Franklin also encouraged postmasters to publish in their newspapers, the names of individuals who had mail waiting for them at the post office. As a joint Postmaster General, he incorporated an idea that was first done in England and served as the precursor to neighborhood delivery. If mail were not picked up at the post office in a timely manner, Franklin would deliver the mail to the recipients home for just a penny thus coining the term penny post. Over the next two decades Franklin traveled extensively to England to represent various colonial governments in dealing with the Crown. In 1774 Franklin was relieved of his duties as joint Postmaster General because of his strong allegiance to the colonies. This was most evident when he changed the manner in which he wrote the manuscript postmark on outgoing mail. Originally it read, Free B. Franklin later he would write B. Free Franklin. SAVE THE DATE: Our second annual Gala Celebration will be held at the museum on Feb. 17. By then everyone should be ready to get out and enjoy an evening of fine food and entertainment. Watch this column for more details about this wonderful evening. Last year we served 200 people and I believe most of them are looking forward to our next party. Festivities will begin with drinks around 5 p.m. with dinner and our program to follow.

JUST A THOUGHT
by Sara Berelsman
Happy New Year! January is about new beginnings. Starting over. Resolutions. I didnt make any last year. This year I want to. Id like to quit smoking. I dont drink anymore, and I just smoke flavored cigars. But Id like to quit. Im being realistic about it. If I dont quit right away, Im okay with that. I think by switching to electronic cigarettes full-time, I can do it. Id also like to start exercising and eating better. I always have the best of intentions when it comes to this. I think Id feel better if I exercised regularly. Of course, I always start thinking this at the coldest time of the year. Id love a treadmill. If not, Ill look into gym memberships. I could also use another job. Something part-time, probably. Maybe a coffee shop or something. It also gives me writing material, the more Im out in the world. Anyone out there hiring? My biggest resolutions are keeping up what Ive already started not drinking, keep writing, etc. I have a hard time with commitment, so working on stuff Ive started is huge. I procrastinate. Id like to try to write every day. And of course, the drinking thing is always one day at a time. I got this. More than anything, I want to work on making the most of my time here. I want to have fun learning experiences, spend time with my loved ones, read some good books ... nothing too crazy. I dont tend to get too caught up in resolutions, anyway. I try my best. Im off to exercise, eat a good lunch, and refrain from smoking. So what are your New Years resolutions? Sara Berelsman lives in Fort Jennings with her husband and their two daughters.

Moderately confused

Point of View
drones we deploy. Meanwhile, and not incidentally, our new, 113th U.S. Congress has welcomed 31 Hispanic members. Three are in the Senate, including GOP superstar Marco Rubio of Florida and Republican Ted Cruz of Texas, as well as Democrat Robert Menendez of New Jersey. All are CubanAmerican. Of the 28 Latinos in the House of Representatives, all but five are Democrats. Why so few Republicans? Therein lurks the relevant question for the GOP and perhaps the most important answer to the puzzle: Learn Spanish. I offer my fathers imperative not literally but as metaphor. When even some of the Latino candidates dont speak their forebears tongue, one neednt feign fluency. Though endearing at times, nothing sounds more ridiculous or inauthentic than a politician pandering with a faux accent or foreign phrase. (Think Barack Obama droppin his gs in the South, or Hillary Clintons rendering of James Clevelands freedom

hymn at the 42nd anniversary of Bloody Sunday in Selma, Ala.) May I just say, oy? Metaphorically, learning Spanish means learning people. Knowing them as human beings, not as statistics on a game board. Recognizing their humanity and finding new ways to talk about immigration that dont alienate entire swaths of the population. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal said it best shortly after the November election: If we want people to like us, we have to like them first. Jindal, an Indian-American, should know. The unlikeliest of good ol boy governors, he has managed to transcend race and ethnicity in his home state to become incoming chair of the Republican Governors Association. AntiLatino rhetoric is especially unwelcome in post-Katrina New Orleans, where most will admit that the growing Latino population rebuilt the city. Instead, dinner conversation during a recent visit with local leaders centered around the states evolving cuisine, which is becoming a Cajun-Latino hybrid. Upon waves of immigrants are new palates born. And, potentially, storm-tossed political parties. The GOP was always a natural home for Latinos, who tend to be conservative and Catholic, though decreasingly so. Fewer than 60 percent of second-generation Latinos are Catholic, according to

the Pew Research Center. Even so, the Republican narrative of hard work, entrepreneurship and personal responsibility would seem to appeal to recent immigrants who are attracted by those very opportunities. Why arent Hispanics hearing the GOP call? Because this aspirational language is drowned out by the rhetoric of rejection. You dont need a dictionary to translate the following: Last June, Obama, who won 71 percent of the Hispanic vote, announced reprieves from deportation for hundreds of thousands of young immigrants who were here illegally, while Mitt Romney promised to end the reprieves if elected. Whatever the legitimate arguments on either side, one shows heart and the other doesnt. Recognizing this deficit of spirit, rising non-white Republican stars are beginning to form a constellation of opportunity conservatism, to borrow Cruzs term. The ideas arent lacking, they say, but the messaging has been disastrous. Whether these new ways of communication ultimately can change the complexion of the GOP remains to be seen, but the future is clear enough: Lose the Hispanic vote, and you lose. And the message to Republicans, if they want to survive, should be obvious. Kathleen Parkers email address is kathleenparker@washpost.com.

Smiths late basket lifts Wildcats in 1st home game

The Delphos Herald DELPHOS The Jefferson boys basketballers had not played a home game at The Stage since last season, so Friday nights Northwest Conference clash versus Ada was welcome for head coach Marc Smith and his young charges. The fans in attendance got their moneys worth as it came down to the final seconds, where freshmen Trey Smith hit a close-in shot with six ticks left to cap off a Wildcat comeback and help secure a 47-46 triumph. A last-gasp 26-footer by the Bulldogs was awry and Jefferson (3-6, 1-1 NWC) got the rebound to seal the deal. The Red and White rallied from a 39-32 deficit to start the fourth and a 7-point hole in the last 2 1/2 minutes. We were dead in the water that late. We had just lost (sophomore) Nick (Fitch) to his fifth foul and around the same time, (junior) Ross (Thompson) rolled his ankle making a diving hustle play; in place of those two starters in the post, we had a senior (Seth Wollenhaupt) and a freshman (Dylan Hicks), Coach Smith noted. This was truly a gutty, gritty performance by the kids. They never lost their poise or panicked; they didnt start to jack up bad shots when we were behind. The Wildcats were forced to foul later in the game, accounting for some of its foul trouble. However, they still managed to slap on some full-court man-toman pressure that forced three turnovers in Adas last four possessions. One of those was Thompsons (7 points) hustle play that led to a basket by senior Seth Ricker (8 markers, 5 dimes) that made it 44-40. Later on, Hicks scored his first varsity basket to get the

Jays pull away late, stay atop MAC standings

By JIM METCALFE jmetcalfe@ delphosherald.com COLDWATER St. Johns had yet to play a road Midwest Athletic Conference boys basketball game in 2012-13, so head coach Aaron Elwer was interested to see how his team would respond. It was as consistent as he might have liked but the Blue Jays made big plays that turned the momentum and they pulled away to a 55-41 victory over Coldwater Friday night inside The Palace. The Jays used warm shooting 22-of-43, including 5-of-14 downtown, for 51.2 percent. You always want to see how you start and play on the road in the league, especially with some young guys we have in our rotation. It was back and forth; wed get a lead and try to extend it but theyd answer, Elwer explained. We talked about that at the half; really extending the lead and not letting them get back in it. We didnt execute that as well as wed like but we we did in the fourth quarter. We put the game away late and thats a good sign. For Coldwater coach Mike Bruns, its a lesson his team needs to learn. This is why you play tough games like this; you have to learn how to win games like this. We fell behind and had to play catchup most of the way, Bruns added. Its hard to hold a team like St. Johns under 50 points but when they were hitting shots, we didnt. I remember our first or second possession where we had four shots in the paint and couldnt hit any. We are getting better and learning how to make the momentum plays or not give them up is an area we will focus on. The Jays (6-2, 3-0 MAC) led almost from start to finish. The teams traded the lead four times in the first period and the Jays took the lead for good at 9-7 on a 3-ball by senior Ryan Buescher (12 markers, 10 boards) at the 3:27 mark. The Jays hit four of their five made threes for the game in the first canto, with four different guys doing so, They led 17-7 as sophomore Evan Hays took a 3/4-court steal and headed the other way for a layin at the 15-second mark before Caleb Siefring banked in a foul-line jumper with 3.1 ticks on the board for a 17-9 scoreboard. Led by senior Austin Bruns (15 counters, 7 boards), who scored five points in the second, the Cavaliers (2-4) got within 17-16 on his 10-footer at 5:02 of the second, causing Elwer to call a timeout. The Jays responded behind senior Curtis Geises eight counters (game-high 22, 8 boards) and built up a 27-18 edge on a layin from sophomore Andy Grothouse (feed from Buescher) with 2.1 ticks on the board. Junior Eric Clark hit a deuce at the 7-minute mark to expand the Jays lead to 29-18 but once more, Coldwater had an answer with Mitch Heyne (12 counters) leading the way with a pair of bombs to get

Crestview bigs too much for Big Green

By BRIAN BASSETT DHI Correspondent sports@timesbulletin.com CONVOY - The Ottoville Big Green and Crestview Knight boys basketball teams clashed Friday evening at Convoy to open up the new year with a non-conference bout. In the end, the Knights continued their hot streak to open the season with a 50-37 win but it was anything but easy thanks to the Big Green defense. I was very impressed with Ottoville, said Crestview coach Jeremy Best. I thought defensively they had us guessing a lot - had us on our heels. Thats frustrating because I thought we had a good week of practice, offensively, attacking and making good decisions. But it didnt carry to tonight. But Ottoville, their defense, had a lot to do with that. Ottoville coach Todd Turnwald was equally complimentary of Crestview. Im really proud of our kids. I think Crestview is pretty darn good. Theyre solid, the coaching staff is solid. Theyre one of the better teams around, he explained. The Knights shot an even 50 percent from the field on the night, going 17-of-34 from the field. Ottoville was not close behind, going 12-of-28 from the floor for a 46-percent clip. Despite the 50-percent shooting, Best said that his team was out of sorts on the evening: I thought we were a step late all night at both ends of the floor. So thats something we have to fix. Crestview did hit 5-of-12 3-pointers, two more than the Big Green in the same amount of attempts. (This was) probably not our best shooting night, explained Turnwald. Thats kind of where we are. We need more guys stepping up on the perimeter. We had nice looks; we just had a tough time knocking them down. Im proud with the effort. The kids competed, especially against a really good team like this. Crestview decisively won the battle of the boards, grabbing 20 rebounds to Ottovilles seven, which the Ottoville coach pointed out as a big part of the game - especially offensive rebounds for Crestview. I thought our defense played pretty well but their bigs all we were giving up were putbacks. Part of that is they are athletic. Part of that is we didnt do a good job of boxing out, said Turnwald. The Knights jumped out to a 13-9 lead after a quarter of play, and extended that lead to 30-21 by halftime. Only 11 combined points were scored in the third quarter, after which Crestview had extended its lead to 37-25. Ottoville pulled within as few as nine points, but Crestview held the Big Green off for the eventual 50-37 win. Our guys plugged along, it just wasnt quite there tonight. Im not upset with them, I just thought our effort and our purpose, if we want to continue to get better, its got to be there every night, Best described. Junior forward Damian Helm led the Knights with 13 points. Freshman guard Connor Lautzenheiser and junior forward Tyson Bolenbaugh added 10 points each. Senior guard Ryan Honingford was the only Big Green player in double figures as he notched 14 points. Senior guard Derek Schimmoeller and junior forward Luke Schimmoeller added nine points each. The win improves Crestview to 8-1 on the season. The team returns to action Friday when they host county rival Lincolnview. It will be good to get back in the flow so-to-speak. Everybody is out of the flow during the holidays. Weve got a week to prepare for (Lincolnview) and that is always a fun game. I think our kids will come back and compete tomorrow. Come back Monday and get ready, added Best.

The loss drops Ottoville to 4-7 on the season. Turnwald is happy with the progress in his team, however, after battling early-season injuries. We competed with some teams for about three quarters early in the year. Now were getting really comfortable in the offense, he added. Our defense has been really solid all year. Now were getting more comfortable with the offense. In the last four games, weve been getting to the free-throw line more times than our opponent and we want to win that free-throw game. So Im pretty pleased with where we are. Ottoville hosts Minster tonight (6:30 p.m. with two JV quarters). OTTOVILLE (FGM-A, 3PM-A, FTM-A, Pts.) R. Honingford 4-10 2-6 4-4 14, D.

within 31-29 on his triple at 1:36 and 33-31 on two tosses by Brody Hoying (1:00). However, third-chance putback by junior Ryan Koester that beat the horn put the visitors up 35-31. Heyne netted a secondchance basket at 7:15 of the finale but the Cavaliers could not follow that up. After senior Seth Bockey scored his only basket for the Jays at 6:25, Heyne again made it a 2-point game at 5:50. However, Buescher hit a big triple from the left side at 5:04 and that seemed to spur the Jays. With Buescher and Geise each scoring seven counters in the canto, the Jays finished strong on an 18-6 span to grab the 14-point triumph. Its so nice to have seniors like Curtis and Ryan. Curtis has been a 4-year player on varsity and its nice to have the ball in his hands, Elwer added. Ryan is a guy we depend on to score and rebound consistently; he has good size, length and leaping ability. Defensively, outside of a couple of times where we lost Bruns, we did a nice job, especially in our set defense. We also did better at limiting their second and third chances. In sum, St. Johns notched 6-of-8 at charity (75%); 29 rebounds (6 offensive); 11 miscues; and a clean seven fouls. They host long-time archrival Lima Central Catholic for their annual Sunday afternoon tussle (1 p.m. junior varsity start). Coldwater knocked down 17-of-50 shots (34 percent), including 5-of-22 downtown; both free throws; hauled in 26 boards (10 offensive); 10 miscues; and 11 fouls. They visit Shawnee tonight. In JV action, the Jays nabbed a tight 37-35 victory. Sophomore Alex Odenweller poured in 19 markers for the victors. Chase Bruggeman and Malave Bettinger knocked down nine for the Cavaliers.

I thought we shoot the ball decent; we need to learn to be more aggressive when we are looking for shots for ourselves and when we need to get stops, we just could not get them. We tried to mix up some defense and when they got the ball inside, we tried to double down. But Vorhees made some shots and they had the size advantage. They were able to execute their game plan with their size and get some offensive rebounds. We just need to work on getting some stops. With the victory, the Bulldogs improve to 5-3 on the year and 1-1 in NWC play. The defeat drops the Lancers overall record to 3-6 and 1-2 in the NWC.

----Cougars roll past Kenton By JIM COX DHI Correspondent sports@timesbulletin.com VAN WERT Van Wert put together its best 32 minutes of the season Friday night against Kenton, the result being a big 72-57 Western Buckeye League win. The Cougars are now 6-2 overall, 2-0 in the WBL. The Wildcats are 7-3 and 1-1. The middle two quarters proved decisive, the Cougs behind Jim Taylor, John Henry Johnson and winning the second 24-13 and Dick Bass. It was the only year in his entire the third 18-10 to break it open career that he was not first. after a tight 16-15 first period.

Kentons Matt Bahr opened the second quarter with a jumper from the right elbow to lead 17-16 but Van Werts Kyle Keber swished a three from the right corner to regain the lead, 19-17. The Cats sharpshooting sophomore guard, Colyn Blackford, banked in an 8-foot angle shot to tie it but Keber drained another trey, this one from the left corner, and the Cougs led for the duration. Blackford then swished a 15-foot fall-away baseliner to get within 22-21 but AJ Smith led an 18-7 run to put Van Wert up 40-28 at the half. That second stanza could hardly have gone better for the Cougs 67 percent shooting (10-of-15) from the field, 2-of-2 free throws and only one turnover. Smith had 16 points by that time, eight in each quarter. It was more of the same in the third quarter hot Van Wert shooting (8-of-15 from the field, 2-of-2 free throws and only one turnover). It was 58-38 after three. Kenton landed three treys in the fourth quarter and managed to close the gap slightly. The Cougars havent shot well from the field or the line this season but neither was a problem Friday night 53 percent (30-of-57) from the field and 78 percent (7-of-9) from the stripe. Van Wert also was stellar in the ball-handling department with only eight turnovers. Weve got potential to be a decent shooting team and its a good thing we did (tonight) because we couldnt stop anybody for a while, said Van Wert coach Dave Froelich. We got the tempo up and down the way we wanted to do it and tried to spread them because we cant match up physically in the half-court. We wanted to make their big kids run with us and I think that took away some of their effectiveness. Kenton was impressive with 53 percent (24-of-45) field goal

Score by quarters: Kenton 15 13 10 19 - 57 Van Wert 16 24 18 14 - 72 Three-point field goals: Kenton 4 (Halsey, Bahr, Blackford, Phillips), Van Wert 5 (Smith 3, Kyle Keber 2).

shooting. The Wildcats, however, only cashed in 50 percent (5-of-10) of their free throws and they had 16 turnovers. Kenton won the boards 22-20. Smith had a huge night with 28 points, while Joey Hurless and Kyle Keber chipped in with 10 apiece. Hurless constantly sliced up the Kenton defense with nifty passes he ended up with 12 assists. Big Grant Sherman pounded inside for 18 Kenton points and Blackford added 10. Even though we were giving up some easy baskets, we were trying to turn it and go the other way and obviously youre a lot better when you make shots, added Froelich. Weve shown we can do that at times. I thought we sustained it a little bit longer tonight than we have in the past. I didnt think we played particularly well the first eight minutes but we didnt have that big lull that weve had, and thats good to see. The Van Wert jayvees (8-0) led 30-4 at the half, then coasted to a 54-22 win. Justice Tussing led Cougar scoring with 11. Seth Kuhlman had 13 for Kenton (4-6).

Manziel, Texas A&M beat Oklahoma 41-13 in Cotton

By STEPHEN HAWKINS The Associated Press ARLINGTON, Texas Johnny Manziel tiptoed the sideline for a 23-yard touchdown on Texas A&Ms first drive of the game. The Heisman Trophywinning quarterback known as Johnny Football and the 10thranked Aggies were just getting warmed up in the Cotton Bowl. There were plenty more highlights after that nifty run. In his first game since becoming the first freshman to win the Heisman, Manziel set a Cotton Bowl-record with 516 total yards and accounted for four TDs as the Aggies capped their first SEC season with a 41-13 win over 12th-ranked Oklahoma on Friday night. There is too much talk about how you perform after the Heisman and about the layoff and all of that, Manziel said. There wasnt anything holding us back. No rust, there was no nothing. We played as a unit. ... To go out and win 11 games and do what weve done, is impressive. With first-year coach Kevin Sumlin and their young star quarterback, the Aggies (11-2) fit right in with the SEC after leaving the Big 12. They broke the SEC record with their 7.261 total yards this season (the first over 7,000 after 633 in Cowboys Stadium). They also averaged more than 40 points a game. And they capped their debut season with an overwhelming victory in the only postseason game matching teams from those power conferences. It is the Aggies first 11-win season since 1998, when they won their only Big 12 title. The chants of S-E-C!, S-E-C! began after Manziels 33-yard TD pass to Ryan Swope with 4 minutes left in the third quarter for a 34-13 lead. They got louder and longer after that. Texas A&M led by only a point at halftime but scored on its first three drives of the second half on drives of 91 and 89 yards before Swopes score on a fourth-and-5 play. Oklahoma (10-3), which like the Aggies entered the game with a 5-game winning streak, went 3-and-out on its first three drives after halftime. Manziel set an FBS bowl record with his 229 yards rushing on 17 carries and completed 22-of-34 passes for 287 yards. Oklahoma, led by quarterback Landry Jones in his 50th career start, had 401 total yards as a team. Jones completed 35-of-48 passes for 278 yards with a touchdown and an inter-

ception. He won 39 games and three bowls for the Sooners. Already with a 24-yard gain on an earlier third down, the Aggies had third-and-9 on their opening drive when Manziel rolled to his left and took off. When he juked around a defender and got near the sideline, he tiptoed to stay in bounds and punctuated his score with a high-step over the pylon for a quick lead. Officials reviewed the touchdown play but it was clear by the replay shown on the huge video screen above the Cowboys Stadium field that Manziel stayed in bounds. Manziel added a 5-yard TD run on a bootleg play in the second quarter and capped the scoring with a 34-yard pass to Uzoma Nwachukwu with 9 minutes left in the game. The first TD run was Manziels school-record 20th of the season. He became only the fourth FBS quarterback with 20 TDs rushing and 20 passing in the same season. The others were Auburns Cam Newton and Floridas Tim Tebow, who like Manziel are Heisman winners from the SEC, and Nevadas Colin Kaepernick. Manziel set an SEC record with 4,600 yards in the regular season and just added to that in his 13th career game. Oklahoma needed drives of 16 and 18 plays to get a pair of field goals by Michael Hunnicutt (23 and 24 yards). Jones threw a 6-yard TD pass to Justin Brown just before halftime to make it 14-13. Ben Malena (7 yards) and Trey Williams (30 yards) had the TD runs to cap the long scoring drives in the third quarter for the Aggies. Manziel was picked off in the second quarter after his bootleg move and a throw that hit Malcome Kennedy in the hands in the end zone and deflected into the air. Javon Harris grabbed the interception. The Sooners then crossed midfield before Jones had a pass intercepted by Dustin Harris and returned to the Oklahoma 48. That A&M drive started with a little trickery, Manziel holding the ball down in his left hand while faking a throw with his right hand. He then pitched to Kenric McNeal, who threw a 20-yard pass to Mike Evans. Malena then had a 23-yard run before Manziels bootleg run for a 5-yard TD. Oklahoma was in the Cotton Bowl for only the second time. It was the first bowl matchup between the former Big 12 rivals, but the 17th consecutive season they have played each other.

Twas the Sunday night before the election and the Rev. Robert Jeffress took to the pulpit to offer a message that, from his point of view, was both shocking and rather nuanced. The bottom line: If Barack Obama won a second White House term, this would be yet another sign that the reign of the Antichrist is near. Inquiring minds wanted to know if the leader of the highly symbolic First Baptist Church of Dallas was suggesting that the president was truly You Know Anti-who. I want you to hear me tonight: I am not saying that President Obama is the Antichrist. I am not saying that at all, said Jeffress, who previously made headlines during a national rally of conservative politicos by calling Mormonism a theological cult. President Obama is not the Antichrist. But what I am saying is this: The course he is choosing to lead our nation is paving the way for the future reign of the Antichrist. Thats pretty strong rhetoric, until one considers how hot things got on the religion-and-politics beat in 2012. After all, one Gallup poll found that an amazing 44 percent of Americans surveyed responded dont know when asked to identify the presidents faith. The good news was that a mere 11 percent in that poll said Obama is a Muslim -- down from 18 percent in a Pew Research Center poll in 2010. The president

On Religion
has, of course, repeatedly professed that he is a liberal, mainline Christian. Could church-state affairs get any hotter? Amazingly the answer was yes, with a White House order requiring most religious institutions to offer health-care plans covering sterilizations and all FDA-approved forms of contraception, including so-called morning-after pills. The key: The Health and Human Services mandate only recognizes the conscience rights of a nonprofit group if it has the inculcation of religious values as its purpose, primarily employs persons who share its religious tenets and primarily serves persons who share its religious tenets. Americas Catholic bishops and other traditional religious leaders cried foul, claiming that under the leadership of Obama, the U.S. Justice Department and other branches of the national government were trying to

separate freedom of worship in religious sanctuaries from the First Amendments more sweeping protection of free exercise of religion in public life. In a year packed with church-state fireworks, the members of the Religion Newswriters Association selected this religiousliberty clash as the years top religion news story. Meanwhile, Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York, the point man for Catholic opposition to the mandate, was voted the years top religion newsmaker -- from a ballot that did not contain the presidents name. The story I ranked No. 2 overall didnt make it into the associations Top 10 list. I was convinced that the 9-0 U.S. Supreme Court decision affirming a Missouri Synod Lutheran congregations right to hire and fire employees based on doctrine could be crucial in the years -- or even months -ahead. Heres the rest of the RNA Top 10 list: -- Research by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life finds that religiously unaffiliated people -- the so-called nones -- make up the fastest-growing religious group in modern America, approaching 20 percent of the population. -- The online trailer of an anti-Islam film, Innocence of Muslims, is alleged to have inspired violence in several countries, including a fatal attack on a U.S. consulate in Libya.

-- White House candidate Mitt Romneys Mormon faith turns out to be a non-issue for white evangelical voters, who support him more strongly than they did 2008 GOP nominee John McCain. -- Monsignor William Lynn of Philadelphia becomes the first senior U.S. Catholic official found guilty of hiding priestly child abuse, followed by Bishop Robert Finn of Kansas City, Mo. -- Vatican officials harshly criticize liberal leaders among U.S. nuns, citing the Leadership Conference of Women Religious for its history of criticism of church teachings on sexuality, abortion and the all-male priesthood. -- Voters in Maine, Maryland and Washington affirm same-sex marriage. Minnesota defeats a ban on same-sex marriage, while North Carolina approves one. -- Episcopal Church leaders adopt a trial ritual for blessing same-sex couples. -- A gunman police describe as a neoNazi kills six Sikhs and wounds three others in a suburban Milwaukee temple. -- The Southern Baptist Convention unanimously elects its first African-American president, the Rev. Fred Luter of New Orleans.

Save money with a toaster oven

Toaster ovens are a great alternative to regular ovens. They cost less to operate and wont heat up your kitchen as much. You can cook or bake most anything in it that you would in a regular oven, but in smaller portions. Using a toaster is still your cheapest option for toast and bagels, but you can bake, broil, roast or reheat foods such as sandwiches, appetizers, mini pizzas, fish, beef, poultry, desserts, etc., in a toaster oven, too. They work well during holidays if your regular oven is full. Visit your local library and look for toaster oven cookbooks, or search online to find hundreds of recipes. If you find a used toaster oven without a manual, make a call to the manufacturer. Checking online for your toaster ovens make and model might bring up a copy of the manual, too. The first reader shares how she uses her toaster oven: Use a toaster oven: I use a toaster oven for 90 percent of my cooking. I have a Black and Decker model with convection. Tonight Im cooking homemade lasagna in it. Another hidden benefit of cooking with the toaster oven: If you are cooking anything smelly (like fish), you can take it outside! -- Wendy, Canada Cast iron for frying: I know people love stainless steel, but Ive never had good luck with it when using it for frying. Maybe its because Im used to cast iron, which in my opinion is the best bang for the cooking buck. It can be used for baking as well as frying, and its lowstick coating is completely renewable and gets better with age. I love stainless steel for other cookware, but not for frying. -- S.D., Minnesota Buy with a friend or family member: When I was single, I did not need five pounds of ground chuck or 10 of any one item, and buy-one-get-onefree items would go to waste. So my friend and I decided we would split sales. Besides taking advantage of special offers, we would also split 10-pound bags of potatoes, oranges, onions, etc. -- Sue, Texas Note from Sara: This works well when shopping at wholesale clubs such as Sams or B.J.s, too. Pressure-cooking: I like cooking in mass amounts. I save time by using a pressure cooker, which saves on energy because it cooks so quickly. I then can my meats, instead of using a freezer. I dont have to pay for additional electricity, the food is cooked and ready to serve, it stores for years rather than months, and I only

I can cook pinto beans in six minutes of cooking time (plus a bit more time to let the pressure release and whatnot). A four-pound bag from SaveA-Lot was $4.19 and made eight quarts. The equivalent in canned pinto beans from WalMart would have cost $1.48 per can, for a total of $23.44! I use the beans for chili, soups, refried beans, tostadas, etc. -M.H., Michigan

Dear Annie: I hope you have room for one more reply to Your Husband. It is true, our relationship is based on love. You say the only thing missing from our relationship is sex. This is not the only thing missing. Over the years, I have done all I can to support your needs, even during intimacy.

We sought counseling, but you said I was crazy and quit going. A year ago, my doctor found that I had an STD. In order to protect myself, I stopped having sex with you. I have given most of my life to being there for you, and you say I havent done enough. Going outside of our marriage is just another betrayal by someone who doesnt consider me worth the effort.

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
SUNDAY, JANUARY 6, 2013 Remain optimistic while looking for upswings in both your personal and financial affairs in the year ahead. Adopting some positive convictions is one of the quickest ways to attract good things in ways you might never suspect. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your enthusiastic nature is exceptionally contagious, and it wont take much to get others involved in whatever interests you. However, youll be selective as to whom you enroll. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- This could be one of those strange days when you might not do much right, yet everything will turn out OK. Work on something big while Lady Luck is with you. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- What makes you so effectively persuasive is your ability to isolate a key person and turn him or her into your ally. This person will convince others to join your cause. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Something youre trying to put together with another has a good chance of succeeding if you plan your strategy while your mind is rested and, consequently, a bit sharper than usual. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- If youre required to make an important decision that is likely to have some far-reaching effects, try to make it now, while the aspects say your faculties are keenest. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You want to see things through to their conclusions, but sticking to any one project is another story. Today, however, chances are you will finish what you start. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -Your sphere of influence is likely to be very pronounced, making a strong impact on most everything you do. Youll even be able to solve some difficult problems with ease. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Dont allow small, problematic distractions to disturb you. Youll have a natural way of working things out for the ultimate good, regardless of hiccups. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -If youre not totally spent from the holidays, make an effort to make some quality time for activities that require physical and mental exertion. Itll help revitalize your outlook. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -You could be rather fortunate where your material circumstances are concerned. The opportunity to profit from one of your many irons in the fire is quite high. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -Bold leadership, good judgment and strong initiative can be some of your more dominating characteristics, and its one of those times when you might be motivated to use them all. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Huge influences that you probably arent aware of will be stirring beneath the surface. When they do decide to emerge, theyll prove to be materially lucky for you. MONDAY, JANUARY 7, 2013 Youre likely to travel more in the year ahead, for both practical and pleasurable purposes. Although you might go to many places on matters of business, youll find time to enjoy the sights as well. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- When out on the town sharing a good time with friends, cough up an equal share of the tab, even if you dont eat or drink as much as some others. Itll make you look small if you dont. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Before driving yourself to the limits in order to achieve an objective, be absolutely certain its something you want in the first place. Theres a chance that your efforts could be misplaced. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Even if you get a choice opportunity to badmouth someone you dont like, it behooves you not to do so. Your pals will wonder if youd do the same to them. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Someone who is known for taking advantage of others might try to do so with you. If youre on the ball, you wont let him or her get away with it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- If you find it necessary to team up with another in order to accomplish something, try to solicit an associate who has some experience in the matter at hand. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Do your best to keep up with your duties and responsibilities. Youll quickly find that youre not likely to function efficiently if you allow things to pile up. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -If an unfamiliar subject or situation rears its head, dont pretend that you know something about it. You wont look too good if youre drawn into the discussion. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Budget planning with your family could turn out to be frustrating if everyone wants the advantage. Pay the bills first, and then split whats left. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Its a mistake to become overly concerned about your co-workers job performance. Once you start concentrating on them, your own work will suffer. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -You can count on buyers remorse setting in if you do not manage your resources as well as you should. It behooves you to limit your spending only to what is essential. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Its possible that you could create a problem with family members by treating outsiders with more consideration than you do them. Dont think the clan wont notice. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23Dec. 21) -- If you insist upon nursing a senseless grudge, youll only crowd out all the sunshine in your life. Strive to be forgiving and forgetful where old slights are concerned.

Woman arrested in decade-old LA child porn case

LOS ANGELES (AP) A woman suspected of making and appearing in child porn photos a decade ago that have circulated widely in the years since was arrested hours after authorities released images of her taken from those shots, federal officials announced Friday. Letha Mae Montemayor, 52, was taken into custody outside a San Fernando Valley apartment complex after authorities received several tips. She is expected to make a federal court appearance Monday on charges of producing child pornography and conspiracy, officials said. Each charge carries a minimum 15-year prison sentence. An unidentified man also seen in the photos was still being sought. It wasnt immediately clear whether Montemayor had obtained a lawyer, and there was no public telephone listing for her. However, her son told a TV station that the allegations were false. Montemayor was arrested fewer than 10 hours after federal authorities announced that they were looking for a man and woman who appeared to be molesting a girl who looked to be about 13 in photos that were widely circulated online. Forensic experts believe the shots were taken about 11 years ago in the San Fernando Valley. A phone book and calendar were seen in the shots, officials said. The images were first discovered by ICE agents in Chicago in 2007. The woman in the photos had several distinctive tattoos, including a butterfly on her hip and a curled-up cat on her right shoulder. This arrest would not have happened without the publics help, and it demonstrates how much individual citizens can do to help law enforcement attack crime, ICE Director John Morton said in a statement. The then-unknown adults in the photos were charged with conspiracy to produce child pornography and production of child pornography. The criminal complaint listed them as John Doe and Jane Doe. The arrest brings us one step closer to vindicating the victim and helping to regain some dignity for all victims of child exploitation crimes, U.S. Attorney Andri Birotte said in the statement. We still want the publics help in identifying John Doe and the victim in the disturbing series of images that continue to be circulated on the Internet. Montemayors son Paul Tucker said his mother was looking for an attorney when she was arrested, and called the allegations against her ridiculous. My mom does not do anything of the sort like that, Tucker told KABC-TV. Tucker told the TV station he remembered the girl from when he and his mother were living in a hotel, and the girl said she was 18 at the time. Thats what she had said to us, that she was 18 but she just looked younger, he said. The images released by authorities did not show the

FDA proposes sweeping McDreamy says he beat Frances Bardot threatens new food safety rules Starbucks for coffee chain exile over elephants
The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) The Food and Drug Administration on Friday proposed the most sweeping food safety rules in decades, requiring farmers and food companies to be more vigilant in the wake of deadly outbreaks in peanuts, cantaloupe and leafy greens. The long-overdue regulations are aimed at reducing the estimated 3,000 deaths a year from foodborne illness. Just since last summer, outbreaks of listeria in cheese and salmonella in peanut butter, mangoes and cantaloupe have been linked to more than 400 illnesses and as many as seven deaths, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The actual number of those sickened is likely much higher. The FDAs proposed rules would require farmers to take new precautions against contamination, to include making sure workers hands are washed, irrigation water is clean, and that animals stay out of fields. Food manufacturers will have to submit food safety plans to the government to show they are keeping their operations clean. Many responsible food companies and farmers are already following the steps that the FDA would now require them to take. But officials say the requirements could have saved lives and prevented illnesses in several of the large-scale outbreaks that have hit the country in recent years. In a 2011 outbreak of listeria in cantaloupe that claimed 33 lives, for example, FDA inspectors found pools of dirty water on the floor and old, dirty processing equipment at Jensen Farms in Colorado where the cantaloupes were grown. In a peanut butter outbreak this year linked to 42 salmonella illnesses, inspectors found samples of salmonella throughout Sunland Inc.s peanut processing plant in New Mexico and multiple obvious safety problems, such as birds flying over uncovered trailers of peanuts and employees not washing their hands. Under the new rules, companies would have to lay out plans for preventing those sorts of problems, monitor their own progress and explain to the FDA how they would correct them.

girl. The search was announced Thursday in connection with an international investigation of child pornography dubbed Operation Sunflower that resulted in more than 200 arrests. Morton said 123 child victims were identified during the five-week investigation, which ended in early December. ICE and other authorities found 110 victims in 19 states. Others were living in six countries. The victims ranged from less than 1 year to 17 years old. Morton said 44 of the victims were living with the people suspected of abusing

SEATTLE (AP) Greys Anatomy star Patrick Dempsey may be the real McSteamy. The actor, who was dubbed McDreamy as a star of the hospital drama while his co-star was called McSteamy, may soon be serving hot, steaming cups of Joe. Dempsey won a bankruptcy auction to buy Tullys Coffee, a small coffee chain based in Seattle. Among those he beat out is Tullys much bigger Seattle neighbor, Starbucks Corp., which is known for its ubiquitous white cups with a circular green mermaid logo. Dempsey, whose company Global Baristas LLC plans to keep the Tullys name, declared victory on the social media site Twitter: We met the green monster, looked her in the eye, and... SHE BLINKED! We got it! Thank you Seattle! The win for Dempsey deals a rare setback for Starbucks on its home turf. Starbucks has long been both praised for bringing coffeehouse culture to the U.S. and criticized for crushing smaller chains. The coffee giant, which had planned to convert the Tullys cafes to

Elephants feast on tasty Christmas trees

its own brand, last month announced plans to expand its global footprint to 20,000 cafes over the next two years, up from the current 18,000. Dempsey said in an interview on Friday that as the underdog in Seattle, Tullys will need to find its identity. But in a statement shortly after the auction on Thursday, Starbucks insinuated that Dempsey shouldnt celebrate just yet. Starbucks, which wanted to convert the Tullys cafes to its own brand, said that a final determination on the winning bid wont be made until a court hearing on Jan. 11. Starbucks said its in a back-up position to buy 25 of the 47 Tullys cafes, with another undisclosed bidder making an offer for the remainder. The combined bids of Starbucks and the undisclosed bidder come to $10.6 million, above the $9.2 million Dempseys company is offering to pay through his company, which was formed in order to purchase Tullys. The other investors in Global Baristas arent being disclosed.

PARIS (AP) Sex symbolturned-animal rights activist Brigitte Bardot is threatening to join actor Gerard Depardieu in Russian exile unless France halts the scheduled euthanasia of two sick circus elephants. The 1960s screen diva says authorities have ignored her numerous proposals to save Baby and Nepal, a pair of 42-year-old elephants dying of tuberculosis at a Lyon zoo.

GENEVA (AP) The worlds largest and most powerful atom smasher goes into a 2-year hibernation in March, as engineers carry out a revamp to help it reach maximum energy levels that could lead to more stunning discoveries following the detection of the so-called God particle. With the reopening of its $10 billion proton collider in early 2015, the stage will be set for observing more rare phenomena and unlocking more mysteries, said James Gillies, chief spokesman for the European particle physics laboratory known as CERN. The Large Hadron Collider under the Swiss-French

BERLIN (AP) Elephants at the Berlin Zoo finally got a chance to tuck into their Christmas dinner: A feast of donated pine trees. The zoo treated its elephants and some of its other animals to the trees for lunch Friday. Before gobbling the greenery, elephants young and old played with the trees, whose strong smell attracts them. Elephant keeper Ragnar Kuehne said the unsold Christmas trees were donated by local vendors. He said the animals love it. For them, the Christmas feast is starting now. Kuehne says the zoo doesnt accept trees from the public, which could contain chemicals or leftover decorations. He also says Christmas trees inside houses arent as fresh and juicy as those at cold outdoor markets which is just how the elephants like them.

2012 was worst year for whooping cough since 1955

The Associated Press The nation just suffered its worst year for whooping cough in nearly six decades, according to preliminary government figures. Whooping cough ebbs and flows in multi-year cycles, and experts say 2012 appears to have reached a peak with 41,880 cases. Another factor: A vaccine used since the 90s doesnt last as long as the old one. The vaccine problem may continue to cause higher than normal case counts in the future, said Dr. Tom Clark of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. I think the numbers are going to trend up, he said. The agency provided the latest figures on Friday. Last year, cases were up in

border will operate for two more months then shut down through 2014, allowing engineers to lay thousands more superconducting cables aimed at bringing the machine up to full design energy, Gillies told The Associated Press on Friday. Physicists at the European Center for Nuclear Research, known by its French acronym CERN, wont exactly be idle as the collider takes a break. There are still reams more data to sift through since the July discovery of a new subatomic particle called the Higgs boson dubbed the God particle which promises a new realm of understanding of the universe.

Mexicos grand warlock makes 2013 predictions

in store for the coming year. Among past predictions: Fidel Castro would die in 2008. Germany would win the 2006 World Cup. Barack Obama would lose to Mitt Romney. Despite Vazquezs consistently incorrect record of prognostication, dozens of journalists swarmed Mexico Citys press club on Friday for the

48 states and outbreaks were particularly bad in Colorado, Minnesota, Washington state, Wisconsin and Vermont. The good news: Despite the high number of illnesses, deaths didnt increase. Eighteen people died, including 15 infants younger than 1. Officials arent sure why there werent more deaths, but think that the attention paid to bad outbreaks across the nation resulted in infected children getting diagnosed faster and treated with antibiotics. Also, a push last year to vaccinate pregnant women a measure designed to pass immunity to infants may have had some small measure of success, Clark said. The final tally will be higher but unlikely to surpass the nearly 63,000 illnesses in 1955, he said. Grand Warlocks latest round of predictions in what has become one of this countrys most reliably strange and inexplicably popular New Years traditions. On tap for 2013, according to the Grand Warlock: a new war in the Middle East, chaos in Venezuela and a tough year for Obama.
