Ottoville sets Winterfest

With World War II approaching, Paul joined the US Army Air Corps and was sent to Columbus. It was his first trip to a big city and his travel was just getting started. From Columbus, the Army sent Paul to Radio School where the boy who loved math began to come into his own. Assigned to build radio stations for the military, the young man from Delphos began to discover the world. He visited Trinidad and Brazil. From

there, it was on to the Gold Coast of Africa, Nigeria and the Congo. Next he visited Cairo, Nigeria and Sudan, then off to India, where he visited the Taj Mahal, New Delhi and Calcutta, building radio stations at every stop. Not bad for someone who only a few years before had not been further than 50 miles from St. Johns. When he returned from the war, Paul used the GI bill and went back to school in New York City and attended the prestigious RCA

Institute now the math and science he learned at DSJ really paid off. He became a computer specialist and had a chance to work with the top scientists in the world, including Albert Einstein, Robert Oppenheimer and Thomas Watson. One of his first projects was called the SSEC Computer (Selective Sequence Electronic Calculator), one of the largest computers in the world. It had 12,500 tubes, 24,500 relays and more than 5,000-plus miles of wire. He later went

to work for IBM and worked on computers used by the Atomic Energy Commission for nuclear research Again, his work took him all over the world. Paul retired in 1977, moved back to Delphos and began teaching electronics at Lima Technical College. He spent 23 years passing along his knowledge to the next generation.

Millions of Americans with disabilities have gained innumerable rights and opportunities since Congress passed landmark legislation on their behalf in 1990. And yet advocates say barriers and bias still abound when it comes to one basic human right: To be a parent. A Kansas City, Mo., couple had their daughter taken into custody by the state two days after her birth because both parents were blind. A Chicago mother, because she is quadriplegic, endured an 18-month legal battle to keep custody of her young son. A California woman paid an advance fee to an adoption agency, then was told she might be unfit to adopt because she has cerebral palsy. Such cases are found nationwide, according to a new report by the National Council on Disability, an independent federal agency. The 445-page document is viewed by the disability-rights community as by far the most comprehensive ever on the

topic simultaneously an encyclopedic accounting of the status quo and an emotional plea for change. Parents with disabilities continue to be the only distinct community that has to fight to retain and sometimes gain custody of their own children, said autismrights activist Ari Neeman, a member of the council. The need to correct this unfair bias could not be more urgent or clear. The U.S. legal system is not adequately protecting the rights of parents with disabilities, the report says, citing child welfare laws in most states allowing courts to determine that a parent is unfit on the basis of a disability. Terminating parental rights on such grounds clearly violates the intent of the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act, the report contends. Child-welfare experts, responding to the report, said they shared its goals of expanding supports for disabled parents and striving to keep their families together. See DISABLED, page 2

Dallas star Larry Hagman dies in Texas

By LYNN ELBER The Associated Press J.R. Ewing was a business cheat, faithless husband and bottomless well of corruption. Yet with his sparkling grin, Larry Hagman masterfully created the charmingly loathsome oil baron and coaxed forth a Texas-size gusher of ratings on televisions longrunning and hugely successful nighttime soap, Dallas. Although he first gained fame as nice guy Major Tony Nelson on the fluffy 196570 NBC comedy I Dream of Jeannie, Hagman earned his greatest stardom with J.R. The CBS serial drama about the Ewing family and those in their orbit aired from April 1978 to May 1991, and broke viewing records with its Who shot J.R.? 1980 cliffhanger that left unclear if Hagmans character was dead. The actor, who returned as J.R. in a new edition of Dallas this year, had a long history of health problems and died Friday due to complications from his battle with cancer, his family said. Larry was back in his beloved hometown of Dallas, re-enacting the iconic role he loved the most. Larrys family and closest friends had joined him in Dallas for the Thanksgiving holiday, the family said in a statement that was provided to The Associated Press by Warner Bros., producer of the show. The 81-year-old actor was surrounded by friends and family before he passed peacefully, just as hed wished for, the statement said. Linda Gray, his on-screen wife and later ex-wife in the original series and the sequel, was among those with Hagman in his final moments in a Dallas hospital, said her publicist, Jeffrey Lane. He brought joy to everyone he knew. He was creative, generous, funny, loving and talented, and I will miss him enormously. He was an original and lived life to the fullest, the actress said. Years before Dallas, Hagman had gained TV fame on I Dream of Jeannie, in which he played an astronaut whose life is disrupted when he finds a comely genie, portrayed by Barbara Eden, and takes her home to live with him. Hagman also starred in two short-lived sitcoms, The Good Life (NBC, 1971-72) and Here We Go Again (ABC, 1973). His film work included well-regarded performances in The Group, Harry and Tonto and Primary Colors. But it was Hagmans masterful portrayal of J.R. that brought him the most fame. And the Who shot J.R.? story twist fueled international speculation and millions of dollars in betting-parlor wagers. It also helped give the series a place in ratings history. When the answer was revealed in a November 1980 episode, an average 41 million U.S. viewers tuned in to make Dallas one of the mostwatched entertainment shows of all time, trailing only the MASH finale in 1983 with 50 million viewers. It was J.R.s sister-in-law, Kristin (Mary Crosby) who plugged him he had made her pregnant, then threatened to frame her as a prostitute unless she left town but others had equal motivation. Hagman played Ewing as a bottomless well of corruption with a charming grin: a business cheat and a faithless husband who tried to get his alcoholic wife, Sue Ellen (Gray), institutionalized. I know what I want on J.R.s tombstone, Hagman said in 1988. It should say: Here lies upright citizen J.R. Ewing. This is the only deal he ever lost. On Friday night, Victoria Principal, who co-starred in the original series, recalled Hagman as bigger than life, on-screen and off. He is unforgettable, and irreplaceable, to millions of fans around the

world, and in the hearts of each of us, who was lucky enough to know and love him. Ten episodes of the new edition of Dallas aired this past summer and proved a hit for TNT. Filming was in progress on the sixth episode of season two, which is set to begin airing Jan. 28, the network said. There was no immediate comment from Warner or TNT on how the series would deal with Hagmans loss. In 2006, he did a guest shot on FXs drama series Nip/ Tuck, playing a macho business mogul. He also got new exposure in recent years with the DVD releases of I Dream of Jeannie and Dallas. Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings said Saturday morning in a statement that Hagmans role as J.R. helped the city gain worldwide recognition. Larry is a North Texas jewel that was larger than life and he will be missed by many in Dallas and around the world, Rawlings said. The Fort Worth, Texas, native was the son of singer-actress Mary Martin, who starred in such classics as South Pacific and Peter Pan. Martin was still in her teens when he was born in 1931 during her marriage to attorney Ben Hagman. As a youngster, Hagman gained a reputation for mischief-making as he was bumped from one private school to another. He made a stab at New York theater in the early 1950s, then served in the Air Force from 1952-56 in England. While there, he met and married young Swedish designer Maj Axelsson. The couple had two children, Preston and Heidi, and were longtime residents of the Malibu beach colony that is home to many celebrities. Hagman returned to acting and found work in the theater and in such TV series as The U.S. Steel Hour, The Defenders and Sea Hunt. His first continuing role was as lawyer Ed Gibson on the daytime serial The Edge of Night (1961-63).

But they said removals of children from their parents notably in cases of significant intellectual disabilities are sometimes necessary even if wrenching. At the end of the day, the childs interest in having permanence and stability has to be the priority over the interests of their parents, said Judith Schagrin, a veteran child-welfare administrator in Maryland. In the bulk of difficult cases, ensuring vital support for disabled parents may be all thats needed to eliminate risks or lessen problems, many advocates say. The new report, titled Rocking the Cradle: Ensuring the Rights of Parents with Disabilities and Their Children, estimates that 6.1 million U.S. children have disabled parents. It says these parents are more at risk than other parents of losing custody of their children, including removal rates as high as 80 percent for parents with psychiatric or intellectual disabilities. Parents with all types of disabilities physical or mental are more likely to lose custody of their children after divorce, have more difficulty accessing assisted-reproductive treatments to bear children, and face significant barriers to adopting children, the report says. One of the cases it details involved Erika Johnson and Blake Sinnett of Kansas City, whose 2-day-old daughter, Mikaela, was taken into custody by Missouri authorities because both parents were blind. The action occurred after a hospital nurse reported that Johnson seemed to be having trouble with her first attempts at breast-feeding which Johnson said happens with many first-time mothers. During a 57-day legal battle, before the couple regained custody, they were allowed to visit Mikaela only two to three times a week, for an hour at a time, with a foster parent monitoring. Since then, the family has been left in peace, said Johnson, who tries to offer support to other disabled parents facing similar challenges. Some parents just give up or dont have the resources, she said in a telephone interview. A Windsor, Colo., woman with disabilities says the prejudice she encountered prompted her to go to law school, to better defend her own rights and those of other disabled parents. Carrie Ann Lucas uses a power wheelchair and is reliant on a ventilator due to a form of muscular dystrophy. She is a single mother of four adopted children, ages 22, 17, 13 and 11, all of whom also have disabilities, including two who use wheelchairs and three with intellectual disabilities. Lucas says shes been the subject of several investigations by child welfare officials that she attributed to bias linked to her disabilities. Each one of these referrals that gets accepted for investi-

gation causes a great deal of stress, not only for me, but for my children, Lucas wrote in an email. She said the investigations dated back to her first efforts to adopt Heather, her biological niece, in 1999, after the girl was placed in foster care. At one point in a long procedural struggle, a social worker told a judge that there was no way that handicapped woman could care for that handicapped child. We are nearly 13 years later, and Heather is still doing very well, Lucas wrote. As a lawyer, Lucas has represented many other parents with disabilities. I have had parents with paralysis be threatened with removal of their children, deaf parents punished for using sign language with their hearing children, and blind parents told that a social worker cant possibly fathom how they could parent a newborn, Lucas said. When families do need intervention, it is often because the services they need are not available outside a punitive social services case. The lead author of the new report, disability-rights lawyer Robyn Powell, says her goal was to challenge presumptions that disabled people cant be effective parents. Of course there are going to be some parents with disabilities who would be lousy parents thats the same with parents without disabilities, she said. If there is neglect, is it due to the disability? And can it be rectified by providing the necessary support? Ella Callow, a lawyer with the National Center for Parents with Disabilities and their Families, said the report raises fundamental questions about Americas social priorities given that state and federal laws value both the well-being of children and the rights of disabled people. The ultimate goal, she said, would be to promote both values by expanding support for disabled parents. If we really believe that families are the key unit on which society is built, then we have to enable these families to be healthy and functioning, even at public expense, Callow said. We know foster care isnt a good place for children to be they do better with their own parents, at their own home. Callow, who is based in Berkeley, Calif., said child welfare agencies need to provide more funding and specialized training with the aim of improving services for disabled parents. Child welfare is so incredibly underfunded, and the workers are so incredibly overwhelmed, their attitude is, Really, you want my attention on this? Callow said. Theres a tendency to think these families arent the same as our families. But these children, when they lose their families, have the same type of grief. Schagrin, the Maryland child-welfare official, said she found parts of the report troubling because they seemed to suggest children were sometimes removed from their families only on account of parental disabilities.

Bill aims Hall to simplify income-tax collections

COLUMBUS (AP) A legislative proposal aimed at simplifying local income-tax collections around Ohio isnt sitting well with some officials who believe it would add to financial strains faced by cities and villages. The nearly 600 municipalities in Ohio use more than 300 forms to collect local income taxes, The Columbus Dispatch reported. Municipalities in Ohio can assess an individual and business income tax, and its the only state where each entity can set its own rules and definition of income. That can make it more complicated and costly for some business owners, especially when working in multiple jurisdictions. Chris Ferruso, legislative director for the National Federation of Independent Businesses in Ohio, pointed to one Mentor electrician who needed to file 41 municipal income-tax returns. Our members arent trying to get out of any tax liability, Ferruso said. Just tell us what the rules are so its easy to understand and the compliance costs go down. Republican Reps. Cheryl Grossman of Grove City and Michael Henne of Clayton have introduced a bill to help create uniformity in local incometax collections. It would provide standardized business-tax regulations while allowing municipalities to continue setting their own tax rates. By far, Ohio is the most challenging state to deal with, Grossman said. Every opportunity I have to meet with companies across the state about what were doing right and what we need to give attention to, this is always in the top two. The idea drew praise from the Ohio Chamber of Commerce and Ohio Society of CPAs but has some municipal officials worried it would add to the financial challenges for cities and villages coping with state funding cuts. The Ohio Municipal League opposes the legislation.

football. Vic Whiting, DSJs varsity football coach (19892000) added, Scott is the best player that I ever coached. Jack Macavoy, former Athletic Director at Hillsdale, also credited Scott for his upbringing in Delphos: For as good a player as he was, I think he was an even better person. Schulte was asked his advice for students: Dont be afraid to dream and know that you may have to take the road less traveled to achieve that dream. And when you are ready, lay your ears back, get to work and go for it! For me the game of football has been a journey and that journey taught me about becoming a man, learning how to sacrifice, learning how to get up after getting knocked down, learning how to overcome failure, learning how to lead and work with others and the journey began at Delphos St. Johns, he concluded. Service to St. Johns John Andrew Giesken class of 1949 John Andrew Giesken was known as the Super Sub. John was born in 1930 near Ottoville, the youngest of 13 children. His family moved to Delphos and John joined St. Johns as a high school freshman. When he graduated in 1949, those four years were all it took to make him both famous and passionate about being a Blue Jay. Like many in the area, John had learned to play basketball in elementary school and around the farm with his brothers (all eight of them). And he had developed some amazing shooting skills. On the DSJ varsity team, he became known as the Super Sub a not-sosecret weapon that could be inserted into games whenever the team needed extra points. When they put me in, my job was to make a basket. John said. And he was legendary at dropping them. One fan recalls, John was so good that if he was double-teamed, he could drop in shots from halfcourt! In his senior year, John was part of the team that won the 1949 State Championship and his shooting was instrumental in the victory. John and his wife Clara raised four children: Julie, Jim, John and Jennifer; but many remember how Giesken influenced and improved the lives of many other young men from the Landeck area. John would leave work early each day and drive to Landeck and spend part of his day teaching his boys the finer points of basketball. Ed Klaus was one of those students and remembers, After we learned a few things, John would load us up in his car about 13 7th- and 8th-graders and take us to St. Johns for a scrimmage. The car was packed! Sometimes when Geisken dropped by the gym, Coach (Bob) Arnzen would halt his practice so John could show the young boys his skills. John had a very unusual stance, coming up on one leg when he shot. But it didnt matter; when John arched the ball, it was all net. Son Jim Giesken recalls his familys commitment to hard work, education and faith this way: Dad would work a full day then a second job at night, sometimes up to 12 hours a day - and all day on Saturday. And he would still find time to work with the students. His sacrifice allowed his children to go to St. Johns; it was that important to him. Ed Klaus adds There are many things I can say about Johnny - he is very gentle and giving man, kind, respectful and a true gentleman. Son Jim added, My goal in life is to try to be almost as good a man as my father. Service to Mankind Bishop Albert Ottenweller (1916-2012) Albert Ottenweller was born April 5, 1916, in Montana. The family resettled to Leipsic when Albert was 6 years old. Albert attended St. Marys grade school in Leipsic before attending St. Josephs High School and St. Josephs College in Indiana. He recalled that tuition in the depths of The Depression was only $100 a year but his family had to sacrifice to pay it. He later went on to receive advanced degrees from Catholic University in Washington, D.C. He was ordained a parish priest for the Diocese of Toledo in 1943 and assigned to St. John the Evangelist, where he served for the next 16 years. He taught Biology in the high school as well as his work in the parish. After a decade of serving other parishes in the Toledo Diocese, Father Ottenweller, as he was then called, returned to DSJ to serve as pastor from 196876. In all, he spent 24 years a quarter of his life ministering at DSJ. He was a holy man and a priests priest. He gave of himself for just causes and worked for people in need, former Principal George Adams described Bishop Ottenweller. DSJ grad Elaine Arnzen Sheehan recalls, Bishop Ottenweller had a knack for making those around him feel important and unjudged. He championed the causes of the weak and persecuted. Some of those he championed were the migrant populations in Ohio. Indeed, the Bishop often seemed to have God standing with him when serving the migrants. In a favorite story, the migrant workers in his parish were in dire need of food. Bishop Ottenweller had been praying for help. He answered a knock at the rectory door to find a young boy who handed him a large picture of Our Lady of Guadalupe. The boy said, My mother wanted you to have this and walked away. Minutes later, the phone rang and a local welfare officer said he planned to hold a news conference. The conference resulted in huge donations that soon overflowed the storage facility. I think Our Lady of Guadalupe was taking care of her people, the Bishop then recalled with a wink. Pope Paul VI named Father Ottenweller auxiliary bishop for the Toledo Diocese in 1974. He became a full bishop in 1977 and served the Diocese of Steubenville until his retirement in 1992. DSJ is privileged to have been loved and served by Bishop Albert Ottenweller. He was a proud Blue Jay to the end of his earthly life, Sheehan concluded.

seeing the world and bringing it all back to St. Johns, few have done more than Paul Baumgarte. Athletic Achievement Scott Schulte class of 1990 A graduate of DSJ class of 1990, Scott Schulte recalled his time playing football at St. Johns: I think what was most important was the team we built during the 1988 and 1989 seasons. At that time, football victories at St. Johns were almost non-existent and there was talk of dropping the football program entirely. But the 1988 season began a turnaround and the 1989 season saw the Jays finish with a 9-1 record and the schools first MAC championship. I think those teams might have been the pioneers of the Blue Jay football we have today. Its so gratifying for me to see the success of the current football program, knowing where we came from. A list of Schultes athletic accomplishments includes: High school MAC 1st Team (1989/90), MAC Player of the Year (1990), UPI- All Ohio Division V Offensive Player of the Year, AP- All Ohio Division V Defensive Player of the Year.

Professional Participant of the NFL Combine, signed as free agent by Miami Dolphins (1994), Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League (1995).

The difference between the men and the boys in politics is, and always has been, that the boys want to be something, while the men want to do something. Eric Sevareid (1912-1992)

Influence game
By CHARLES BABINGTON The Associated Press

Tax them, not us, groups say

WASHINGTON A big coalition of business groups says there must be give-andtake in the negotiations to avoid the fiscal cliff of massive tax increases and spending cuts. But raising tax rates a White House priority is out of the question, the group adds. The homebuilding industry says it wont tolerate even a nick in the mortgage interest deduction. It doesnt matter, industry leaders say, if its part of a broad, spreadthe-pain package designed to tame the soaring debt. And theres no ambiguity in the views of the top lobbying arm for retirees. AARP to Washington: No cuts to Medicare and Social Security in last-minute budget deal the groups Web site declares. AARP nixes the notion of slowing the costof-living formula for Social Security recipients, even if its part of a big, bipartisan compromise package. And President Barack Obama should drop his idea of raising Medicares eligibility age, AARP adds. So much for the notion of shared sacrifice as Congress and the White House face a Dec. 31 deadline to craft a far-reaching deficit-reduction plan. If they fail, the government tips over the so-called fiscal cliff, at least for a time. Nearly everyones taxes will rise, and federal programs will be whacked. Financial markets might quake, and a new recession could begin, economists say. In Washington, meanwhile, its virtually every group for itself, scrambling to protect 100 percent of each tax break and government payout it now enjoys. America is split down the middle politically, as the last half dozen presidential races have shown. Aside from a few think tanks and civic-minded groups, theres almost no talk of splitting the pain among interest groups, populations and professions in a manner that seems inevitable if lawmakers are to achieve the trillions of dollars in deficitreduction both parties call for. The old adage, Dont tax thee, dont tax me, tax the man behind the tree was never more in vogue. Of course, some of the tough talk may be posturing. No one wants to show a willingness to compromise at the start of a long, tough negotiating season. Still, the adamant positions that major interest groups are taking and their insistence that sacrifices hit others, not them underscore the difficulty Obama and congressional leaders face. The tougher a group talks to its members and the public, the harder it is to back down later when a bit of shared pain for everyone emerges as the only path to a deal. Raising tax rates is unacceptable, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said shortly after Obama won reelection. He seemed unfazed by Obamas campaign promise to let the Bush-era tax cuts expire for couples making

DEAR EDITOR: I was watching on the news the day before Thanksgiving at the President giving amnesty to two turkeys. OK, an American social tradition to bring a little humor to the holiday. He then proceeds to make two signs of the Cross over the pair, in imitation of Catholic blessing/absolution. If that were a Muslim sign of ritual he was mocking, the White House would be burnt as the consulate in Bengazi for Thanksgiving Day. Mr. President, you thumb your nose at our teachings by forcing us to provide contraception and abortion in our health insurance, then you mock our rituals by performing them over turkeys. Whats next? This only proves to me and to the rest of the country your lack of respect for, and persecution of, faith at work in this country. When you took the oath of office four years ago, you promised to preserve, protect and defend the constitution of the United States so help me God. Did you mean the whole constitution, or just what you pick and choose? Remember, this was before God. I suggest you think about this on Jan. 20. Marlene Wrasman Delphos

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

9 more Iraq, Afghan war veterans joining Congress

One Year Ago Former Mayor Jerry Neumeier and other volunteers prepared Thanksgiving Day meals at the Delphos Knights of Columbus Thursday morning. The organization delivers meals on the holiday every year to anyone who requests it, to make certain everyone who wants a traditional Thanksgiving dinner gets one. 25 Years Ago 1987 Delphos Lioness Club President Beth Cano presented a check for $200 to Jerome Schmit, treasurer of Delphos Community Christmas Project. The contribution was the first this year which will be used to provide fruit plates for shut-ins and the lonely and Christmas items for the less fortunate. Eric Schimmoelleer, 12, won third place in the Ohio Jaycees State Football Fundamentals held at Galion. He qualified for the state competition by placing first in the 12-yearold division in Delphos. He is the son of Mike and Elaine Schimmoeller of Delphos. Fort Jennings girls broke open a close game in the third quarter en route to a 56-38 win over Ottoville Tuesday in nonleague play. Laura Broecker led Fort Jennings with 22 points and Shirley Von Sossan chipped in 10. Terri Hilvers took scoring honors for Ottoville with 16 points. 50 Years Ago 1962 Local football fans and friends of Bill Ricco, former grid coach at St. Johns will be glad to hear that St. Ignatius High School of Cleveland, where Ricco is the assistant coach, won the Cleveland city football title Thanksgiving Day by defeating Benedictine High, 6-0, at Cleveland Stadium. While in Delphos Riccos team established the best record in the history of football at St. Johns. Seventeen members of Delphos chapter of Future Farmers of America were on a field trip Friday and Saturday in Chicago. Boys who went on the trip were Mike Schimmoeller, Ronald Baumgarte, John Etzkorn, Tom Freund, William Shumaker, Gary Buettner, Jim Gerdeman, Ronald Goedde, Charles Plikerd, Frank Sanders, Ed Pohlman, Gary Moenter, Tom Noonan, Jim Etzkorn, Randy Bowersock, Kenneth Youngpeter and Ronald Buettner. Benjamin D. King of Columbus Grove, observed his 95th birthday Sunday, with visions of living to a ripe age. He hopes to surpass the century mark. Becoming a centenarian is nothing new to his family. He recalled his great-grandfather died at the age of 106 after fighting in the Revolutionary war and settling in Pennsylvania. 75 Years Ago 1937 A Thanksgiving program was held Wednesday afternoon at the Lincoln School. Lucile Werners first and second grades presented The Squirrel Thanks You. The third and fourth grades, Elizabeth Rozelle teacher, gave On the Eve of Thanksgiving. The fourth and fifth grades taught by Mildred Baxter, gave two playlets, The First Thanksgiving Day and The Thanksgiving Health Play. Dr. G. P. Bohlender, a well-known Delphos physician, has accepted an appointment as resident physician at the Lying-In Hospital in Chicago. Dr. J. Sapiro, Cleveland, has purchased Dr. Bohlenders practice and will locate in Delphos permanently by December 15. Dr. Bohlenders office is located at 151 W. Third St. The members of the S. S. Club were entertained Tuesday evening at the home of Mrs. Albert Laudick, South Main Street. Tables were arranged for pinochle and at the conclusion of the games, Mrs. John A. Metzner was high and Mrs. Clarence Swick, second. In two weeks, the club will hold a Christmas at the home of Mrs. Francis Walterick, South Canal Street.

IT WAS NEWS THEN

WASHINGTON (AP) As Tammy Duckworth sees it, her path to Congress began when she awoke in the fall of 2004 at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. She was missing both legs and faced the prospect of losing her right arm. Months of agonizing therapy lay ahead. As the highest-ranking double amputee in the ward, Maj. Duckworth became the go-to person for soldiers complaining of substandard care and bureaucratic ambivalence. Soon, she was pleading their cases to federal lawmakers, including her states two U.S. senators at the time Democrats Dick Durbin and Barack Obama of Illinois. Obama arranged for her to testify at congressional hearings. Durbin encouraged her to run for office. She lost her first election, but six years later gave it another try and now is one of nine veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars who will serve in next years freshman class in the of House of Representatives. Veterans groups say the influx of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans is welcome because it comes at a time when the overall number of veterans in Congress is on a steep decline. In the mid-1970s, the vast majority of lawmakers tended to be veterans. For example, the 95th Congress, which served in 1977-78, had more than 400 veterans among its 535 members, according to the American Legion. The number of veterans next year in Congress will come to just more than 100. Most served during the Vietnam War era. In all, 16 served in Iraq or Afghanistan, not all in a combat role. Were losing about a half a million veterans a year in this country, said Tom Tarantino, chief policy officer at Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans for America. We are not going to be in a world where a significant plurality of people spent some time in the military, so to have 16 men and women who fought in this current Congress is incredibly significant.

House to consider limited GOP immigration bill

WASHINGTON (AP) House Republicans still smarting from their poor showing among Hispanics in the presidential election are planning a vote next week on immigration legislation that would both expand visas for foreign science and technology students and make it easier for those with green cards to bring their immediate families to the U.S. Republican leaders made it clear after the election that the party was ready to get serious about overhauling the nations dysfunctional immigration system, a top priority for Hispanic communities. Taking up what is called the STEM Jobs Act during the lame-duck session could be seen as a first step in that direction. The House voted on a STEM bill standing for science, technology, engineering and mathematics in September, but under a procedure requiring a two-thirds majority. It was defeated, with more than 80 percent of Democrats voting against it, because it offset the increase in visas for high-tech graduates by eliminating another visa program that is available for less-educated foreigners, many from Africa. Republicans are changing the formula this time by adding a provision long sought by some immigration advocates expanding a program that allows the spouses and minor children of people with permanent residence, or green card, to wait in the United States for their own green cards to be granted. There are some 80,000 of these family-based green cards allocated every year, but there are currently about 322,000 husbands, wives and children waiting in this category and on average people must wait more than two years to be reunited with their families. In that past that wait could be as long as six years. The House proposal would allow family members to come to the U.S. one year after they apply for their green cards, but they wouldnt be able to work until they actually got the card. It applies to the families of green card holders who marry after getting their residency permits. Bruce Morrison, a former Democratic congressman from Connecticut who chaired the House immigration subcommittee and authored a 1990 immigration law, said the bill

over $250,000 a year. Washington insiders think both men might bend, as they did last year when they nearly struck a grand bargain combining major spending cuts with tax increases. Boehners conservative colleagues rebelled before the package took final shape. Boehners House caucus seems slightly less restive now. But outside groups are gearing up to fight virtually every idea being floated to reduce spending or raise revenues. To reach a deficitcutting package big enough to replace the fiscal cliff, lawmakers will have to stare down these groups, which pour millions of dollars into political campaigns and flood congressional offices with constituents phone calls. Interest groups, like many politicians, talk warmly of compromise in the abstract. But they dig in when the talk turns to specific ideas that run counter to their philosophies or profitability. There has to be give in the negotiations, said Jade West, who heads the decadeold Tax Relief Coalition, comprised of major business groups. But on the question of raising tax rates on the rich probably the most-discussed issue on the fiscal cliff table West said her group is adamantly opposed. I dont care what he said, she said of Obamas campaigning on the topic. The sound bite, tax the rich, tax the rich, tax the rich ignores the harm such a policy would do, she said. Taxing the people who hire is just nuts, West said.

New Congress: Fewer moderates make deals harder

By ALAN FRAM The Associated Press cult to find solutions to major problems, said William Hoagland, senior vice president of the Bipartisan Policy Center, a private group advocating compromise. In the Senate, moderate Scott Brown, R-Mass., lost to Democrat Elizabeth Warren, who will be one of the most liberal members. Another GOP moderate, Richard Lugar of Indiana, fell in the primary election. Two others, Kay Bailey Hutchison of Texas and Olympia Snowe of Maine, are retiring. Moderate Democratic senators such as Kent Conrad of North Dakota, Herb Kohl of Wisconsin, Ben Nelson of Nebraska, Jim Webb of Virginia are leaving, as is Democratic-leaning independent Joe Lieberman. While about half the incoming 12 Senate freshmen of both parties are moderates, new arrivals include tea party Republican Ted Cruz of Texas, conservative Deb Fischer of Nebraska, and liberals such as Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin and Hawaiis Mazie Hirono. Theres a similar pattern in the House, where 10 of the 24 Democratic Blue Dogs lost, are retiring or, in the case of Rep. Joe Donnelly, D-Ind., are moving to the Senate. That will further slash a centrist group that just a few years ago had more than 50 members, though some new freshmen might join. Among Republicans, moderates like Reps. Judy Biggert of Illinois and New Hampshires Charles Bass were defeated while others such as Reps. Jerry Lewis of California and Steven LaTourette of Ohio decided to retire. Congress seems to be going in the opposite direction of the country, just as the country is screaming for solutions to gridlock, said Democratic strategist Phil Singer. Whether the changes are good is often in the eye of the beholder. Seventy-one of the 83 House GOP freshmen of 2010 were re-elected Nov. 6, but 11 lost, including one of the groups highest profile members, conservative Rep. Allen West, R-Fla. Another faces a runoff in December. Some of the people who

neither increases the number of green cards nor gives people green cards early. But people get the most important benefit of being able to live legally in the United States with their spouses. Morrison, an immigration policy lobbyist who advocates for groups such as American Families United, called the bill a stepping-stone to more comprehensive immigration reform, That Republicans initiated it to me is a positive gesture that they want to do business on this subject, he said Megan Whittemore, spokeswoman for House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., a key proponent of the STEM Act, said the bill is family friendly, helping spouses and minor children who would otherwise be separated from their families for extended periods of time. The bill will be taken up this time under normal procedures requiring only a majority vote, and it is almost certain to pass the Republicanled House. It remains to be seen whether it will engender enough Democratic support to give it momentum as it heads to the Democratic-controlled Senate.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

WASHINGTON When the next Congress cranks up in January, there will be more women, many new faces and 11 fewer tea party-backed House Republicans from the class of 2010 who sought a second term. Overriding those changes, though, is a thinning of pragmatic, centrist veterans in both parties. Among those leaving are some of the Senates most pragmatic lawmakers, nearly half the Houses centrist Blue Dog Democrats and several moderate House Republicans. That could leave the parties more polarized even as President Barack Obama and congressional leaders talk up the cooperation needed to tackle complex, vexing problems such as curbing deficits, revamping tax laws and culling savings from Medicare and other costly, popular programs. This movement away from the center, at a time when issues have to be resolved from the middle, makes it much more diffi-

are the anti-government ideologues, some of them are gone, said House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. And that message has been rejected by the American people. Sal Russo, strategist for the Tea Party Express, said such departures would be balanced by newly elected conservatives, including the Senates Cruz and GOP Reps.-elect Ted Yoho of Florida and Mark Meadows of North Carolina. Pretty much everybody that ran in 2012 was talking about the economic woes we face, stopping excessive spending, controlling unsustainable debt, he said. Overall, the new House is on track for a 234-201 Republican majority, a narrowing of their 242-193 advantage today, which includes five vacancies. Democrats will control the Senate 55-45, up from 53-47. A dozen of the 100 senators and at least 81 of the 435 House members, almost one-fifth, will be in their first term, slightly above historic averages. The Associated Press hasnt declared winners in two House races.

Lady Green slips by Crestview

By KEVIN WANNEMACHER DHI Correspondent sports@timesbulletin.com VAN WERT - It wasnt the prettiest of victories but Ottoville head coach Dave Kleman will take it. The Big Green rallied from a 22-21 deficit after three quarters by outscoring Crestview 13-8 in the fourth quarter and overcame a poor shooting night to post a 34-30 victory in the championship game of the McDonalds TipOff Classic at Van Wert High School. Ottoville finished the night only 9-of-25 from the field (36%) and committed 15 turnovers in the contest. Kleman knows the Big Green must be better but also understands it is a work in progress. We are a work in progress and we have to continue to develop our skills, commented Kleman. It was a very physical game but we have to learn to play through that as well and try to control what we are capable of controlling. Crestview didnt fare any better at taking care of the basketball. The Lady Knights committed 26 turnovers, an area head coach Greg Rickard knows that they have to be better. Too many turnovers, commented Rickard. If we are able to cut down on those turnovers, were in much better shape. On top of that, we have to do a better job on the glass offensively to get second opportunities. The Big Green recorded 16 offensive rebounds and finished with a 29-26 advantage on the boards. Crestview had five offensive rebounds. Crestview led at the first three stops of the contest. The Lady Knights held Ottoville scoreless for nearly the first five minutes of the contest as the red-white-and-blue took a 9-5 lead after one stanza. With the Knights on top 13-9 midway through the second quarter, two Abby Siefker free throws and a basket from Taylor Mangas pulled the Big Green even at 13-13. However, Lindsey Motycka hit 1-of-2 free throws to close the first-half scoring as Crestview grabbed a 14-13 advantage at the intermission. I thought we did a lot of positive things tonight, Rickard added. Our kids battled all night long and it was a very physical contest but we played through it. Ottoville took its first lead of the contest 17-16 on a Tonya Kaufman basket at the 5:13 mark of the third quarter. Another Kaufman bucket made it 19-16 Big Green before Crestview responded. The Knights ended the third quarter with baskets from Kirstin Hicks, Emily Bauer and Terra Crowle in taking a 22-21 lead entering the final period. A trey by Mackenzie Riggenbach pushed the Knight lead to 25-21 but the Big Green took control from there. Ottoville closed the game on a 13-5 run to rally for the victory, taking advantage of seven Crestview turnovers in the fourth quarter. It wasnt pretty but its a win, Kleman added. We will work to get better and these girls are very capable of doing what they need to do to get there. Siefker led the greenand-gold with 11 points and nine boards while Kaufman chipped in nine points. See LADY GREEN, page 7

BATH TOWNSHIP Elida is a mostly-veteran girls basketball team that gave host Bath a scare before falling 44-38 in Friday nights second game of the ninth annual Kewpee Tip-Off Classic held in The Bathtub, while St. Johns struggled shooting the ball before succumbing to New Knoxville 37-34 in the opener. The shooting woes continued for the Lady Blue Jays in Saturday nights consolation finals, helping the Lady Bulldogs to grab a 46-42 victory. The Jays (0-2) shot 30 percent from the floor this night (13-of-43, 5-of-19 3-pointers), while Elida (1-1) shot 50 percent (18-of-36, 1-of-5 downtown). Were battling confidence in shooting right now; were waiting too many times for someone else to make the shot, Jays mentor Dan J. Grothouse noted. Were struggling figuring out when to shoot and how quickly. There are times we take good shots and cant get them to go and other times we arent taking good shots or we hurry them. That is something we will continue to work on in practice and see if we can address this. Elida co-coach Chrissy Billiter pointed to a change in attitude for her teams good start. Were changing the culture. These girls were used to not having success and that

was an attitude we changed from day 1; that will not remain here, she explained. You can see the confidence growing, even in our loss the night before. Like at the end, the girls want the ball in their hands to shoot free throws. It also helps having (senior) OSha (Owens) back from injury last year. She gives everyone else confidence, especially offensively, because she makes us go. Elida playing primarily a half-court 2-3 zone and occasionally employing fullcourt pressure came out much quicker in the opener, using simply better shooting (5-of-10 versus 1-of-7) in building an 11-2 edge with three minutes to go on a basket by junior Kylie Downton (7 boards). The Jays closed with a pair of free throws each from senior Katie Vorst (12 markers, 4 caroms, 3 steals) at 2:29 and junior Brooke Zuber (24.2 ticks) to reduce the deficit to 11-6. The Blue and Gold using their trademark manto-man half-court D continued the comeback in the second period and in a 1:40 span, the lead was traded three times, with the Jays taking their first lead at 18-17 on two tosses by Vorst at 3:14. She hit two more at 1:50 to give the Jays their biggest lead but, alas for them, the Lady Dawgs had the answer: a closing 7-0 spurt, capped by a putback-and-harm by junior Torie McAdams (9 points, 5 rebounds) with 31.6 seconds showing, to get a 24-20 halftime bulge.

St. Johns scored the first five points of the third period a basket by Vorst and a trey by senior Emilie Fischbach (3 treys) to give the Jays their final lead. A basket by junior Carly Stetler put the lead in Elidas favor and it never left. With defenses basically controlling things, they attained garnered a 33-27 edge on a deuce from sophomore Sabrina Kline (8 counters, 5 caroms) but the Jays battled within 33-31 on a rare 4-point play triple and free throw by sophomore Tara Vorst (7 points) with 13.1 ticks on the board. The Jays got within 35-34 on a putback by Katie Vorst at 4:45 of the fourth period by sophomore sub Brett Pauff popped off the Elida bench for a pair of crucial baskets in the next minute to put the Big Mo in their favor. The Jays were not done, though, and once more got within one 43-42 on a bomb by Fischbach with 27 ticks remaining. However, Downton hit 1-of-2 singles at 22.8 ticks and after a pair of misses at the other end, Kline hit two tosses at 10.5 seconds to seal the deal. We have moments where we play decently but right now, were not consistent. We are a work in progress, especially as our new varsity girls get used to the level of play, Grothouse added. Another area of concern is rebounding; we got beat there and gave up too many second shots. We have a long way to go and well get back to work. Owens, returning from an injury-plagued 2011-12, led

Bengals ruin Palmers homecoming with 34-10 win

By JOE KAY The Associated Press CINCINNATI The purple bruises on his passing shoulder. The raw, red scrape down the middle of his back. Carson Palmers upper body was a colorful reminder of how badly his homecoming turned out. No fun at all for him or the Oakland Raiders, either. The Bengals got back into the playoff race on Sunday by beating their former franchise quarterback and his new team 34-10. Cincinnati (6-5) moved into a tie with Pittsburgh for the second wild card spot, although the Steelers have the head-to-head tiebreaker. For the first time since 1976, the Bengals have won three games in a row by at least 18 points. We had an OK November, coach Marvin Lewis said. So now lets have a better December. We need to have a better December that we had in November. Thats our key right now. Thatll give us a chance for a great January. Cincinnati did just about anything it wanted during a dominant first half against the Raiders (3-8), who have given up the most points in the NFL. Theyve dropped a season-high four in a row, allowing 169 points in those games. Andy Dalton threw three touchdown passes against that dreadful defense and BenJarvus Green-Ellis ran for 129 yards and a touchdown. He had runs of 48 and 39 yards the longest of his career to set up scores. You need to be balanced when youre playing a game like this, said Dalton, who was 16-of-30 for 210 yards. When you get the lead early, you want to be able to run the ball. Weve just got to keep it up. From the coin flip, the attention was on Palmer, who had decided he couldnt play for one of the NFLs most forlorn franchises of the past 20 years. He held out last year and owner Mike Brown finally relented and traded him to Oakland at midseason. Palmer hadnt been back

The Lady Bearcats received 13 markers from Schylar Miller and nine each by Emilee Meyer and Abby Freewalt. They counted 14-of-27 shots (3-of-8 downtown) for 51.8 percent and 10-of-12 singles (83.3%). The Musketeers visit Lima Central Catholic 6 p.m. Tuesday, while the Bearcats are on the road to Coldwater.

to Cincinnati since the trade. He was booed by the 56,503 fans the smallest crowd of the season at Paul Brown Stadium when he went out for the coin toss. He got a hug from former teammate Rey Maualuga and finally met Dalton, who was drafted in the second round last year to replace him. You obviously hear it, Palmer said of the boos. You cant block things like that out. But I prepared myself for that. He went 19-of-34 for 146 yards with a touchdown, four sacks and an interception that went off the receivers hands hardly what hed hoped. Oaklands frustration See NFL, page 7

The Herald 7

NFL

(Continued from Page 6) boiled over in the fourth quarter. A brawl broke out after a play was whistled dead because of a penalty and Oaklands Tommy Kelly and Lamarr Houston ended up on top of Cincinnatis Andrew Whitworth in the middle of a big scrum of players. All three were ejected. The pain began the first time Palmer tried to pass. Tackle Geno Atkins shot through the line virtually untouched and sacked Palmer as he faked a handoff. It never got much better. With running back Darren McFadden sidelined again by an ankle injury, the Raiders were missing one of their best options. And Palmer was under heavy pressure all game, taking a beating that showed on his back. And then there was that Raiders defense ... The Bengals had 156 yards after only two series. Daltons second touchdown pass to Mohamed Sanu made it 21-0 midway through the second quarter. At that point, the Raiders offense hadnt yet crossed midfield. The half ended with one more Raiders mistake. Marcel Reece had Palmers pass go off his hands and Chris Crocker intercepted with 8 seconds left. Mike Nugents 55-yard field goal tied the club record and put the Bengals up 24-0. Oakland allowed 289 yards in the half the most this season and had only 83 yards, its fewest on offense since it managed 52 yards in the first half at Pittsburgh on Nov. 21, 2010. The Bengals got a break in the fourth quarter when an inadvertent whistle wiped out Sanus fumble deep in Cincinnati territory with 7:22 to go. On the next play, the brawl broke out that resulted in the ejections. NOTES: Bengals receiver A.J. Green failed to catch a TD pass, ending his streak of nine games with one. Its the second-longest streak in club history. ... Atkins ninth sack moved him one ahead of Dan Wilkinson for the club record by an interior lineman. ... CB Leon Hall missed a play after he broke up a pass in the first quarter, hurting a finger on his left hand. He got two fingers taped together and returned. ... Chris Bahr also kicked a 55-yard field goal for the Bengals on Sept. 23, 1979 against Houston. FALCONS 24, BUCCANEERS 23 TAMPA, Fla. Matt Ryan threw for 353 yards and overcame two big turnovers by leading another late touchdown drive to give the Atlanta Falcons a 24-23 victory over

the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. Ryan teamed with Julio Jones on an 80-yard TD in the third but the NFC South leaders found themselves trailing 23-17 after the Bucs marched for a touchdown, then forced a fumble by Ryan to set up a field goal that put the Falcons in catch-up mode. Michael Turners 1-yard TD run put Atlanta ahead f with 7:55 left. Connor Barth missed a 56-yard goal for Tampa Bay (6-5) in the closing minutes and the Bucs 4-game winning streak ended when Josh Freemans desperation pass fell incomplete in the end zone with no time remaining. The win enabled the Falcons (10-1) to keep pace with Houston for the NFLs best record. Turner also scored a fourth-quarter TD that helped the Falcons overcome mistakes to beat Arizona 23-19 last week.
GIANTS 38, PACKERS 10 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. Eli Manning threw for three touchdowns, giving him 200 for his career, and New York sacked Aaron Rodgers five times in a rout of Green Bay. Coming off their bye, the Giants (7-4) put to rest concerns about a dormant offense and a tired arm for Manning. He connected with rookie Rueben Randle, Victor Cruz and Hakeem Nicks for scores; Ahmad Bradshaw had a combined 119 yards, including a 59-yard sprint on a screen pass to begin the onslaught. Mathias Kiwanuka had two of the sacks as Rodgers never got comfortable. Green Bay (7-4) had its 5-game winning streak snapped and fell out of a tie atop the NFC North with Chicago. BRONCOS 17, CHIEFS 9 KANSAS CITY, Mo. Peyton Manning threw for 285 yards and two touchdowns and Denver rallied for its sixth straight win. Manning hit tight end Jacob Tamme late in the first half and wide receiver Demaryius Thomas in the third quarter; that was more than enough to overcome three field goals by the Chiefs Ryan Succop as Kansas City lost its eighth straight game. Knowshon Moreno added 85 yards rushing for the AFC West-leading Broncos (8-3). Moreno got the start in place of Willis McGahee, who went on injured reserve this week with a knee injury. Jamaal Charles ran for 107 yards for the Chiefs (1-10), who failed again to punch the ball into the end zone. They still havent scored a touchdown since the first quarter against Pittsburgh on Nov. 12. BEARS 28, VIKINGS 10 CHICAGO Jay Cutler threw for 188 yards and a touchdown after missing a game because of a concussion as Chicago ended a 2-game losing streak. Tied with Green Bay for the NFC North lead and just a game ahead of Minnesota (6-5) coming in, the Bears (8-3) grabbed a 25-3 halftime lead thanks to Cutlers pinpoint passing. The defense held Adrian Peterson in check early on, although he finished with 108 yards rushing. The win could prove costly. The Bears lost wide receiver Devin Hester (concussion), running back Matt Forte (ankle), cornerback Charles Tillman (ankle) and both starting guards to injuries. 49ERS 31, SAINTS 21 NEW ORLEANS Colin Kaepernick ran for one score that he made look easy and threw for a touchdown in another performance that validated coach Jim Harbaughs decision to start him. The San Francisco defense added its share of big plays and the 49ers ended the Saints 3-game winning streak. Ahmad Brooks and Donte Whitner each returned interceptions for touchdowns and the 49ers sacked Brees five times. Kaepernick was solid in his second

Lady Green

career start while Alex Smith, deemed healthy enough to suit up after recovering from a concussion, watched from the sideline. Kaepernick passed for 231 yards, including a short touchdown to Frank Gore. He also ran for a 7-yard score. He threw his first career interception, but it was inconsequential. Brees finished with 267 yards and three TDs. RAVENS 16, CHARGERS 13 OT SAN DIEGO Justin Tucker kicked a 38-yard field with 1:07 left in overtime to complete a stunning comeback. San Diego led 13-3 on Nick Novaks 30-yard field goal with 7:51 to go in regulation and seemed headed for its first win against a team with a winning record this season. But the Ravens converted on fourth-and-29 from their 37 when Ray Rice caught a short pass from Joe Flacco and weaved through the defense to the San Diego 33 with 1:37 to play. After a review, the ball was moved back to the 34 and the refs measured. The new spot gave the Ravens a first down by the length of the ball. Six plays later, Tucker kicked a 38-yard field goal to tie the game as regulation expired. The Ravens (9-2) won their fourth straight and for the eighth time in nine games. The Chargers (4-7) were pushed closer to being eliminated from the playoff picture. RAMS 31, CARDINALS 17 GLENDALE, Ariz. Janoris Jenkins became the first player in Rams history and the first NFL rookie since 1960 to return two interceptions for touchdowns in the same game and St. Louis dominated the second half to hand the Arizona Cardinals their seventh loss in a row, 31-17 on Sunday. Arizona rookie Ryan Lindley was intercepted four times in his first NFL start. Jenkins returns of 36 and 39 yards emphatically ended the Rams streak of five straight games without an opponent turnover. Sam Bradford had a pair of 37-yard touchdown passes to Lance Kendricks and Chris Givens for the Rams. Steven Jackson rushed for 139 yards in 24 carries. BROWNS 20, STEELERS 14 CLEVELAND Chris Raineys fumble with 2:25 left Pittsburghs seventh of eight turnovers was recovered by Clevelands Phil Taylor and the Browns handed their hated rivals a potentially devastating loss. Charlie Batch, starting at quarterback for Pittsburgh because of injuries to Ben Roethlisberger and Byron

Leftwich, was picked off three times and the Steelers (6-5) lost five fumbles, the last on the final play of the game to help the Browns (3-8) beat Pittsburgh for just the second time in 18 games. Browns quarterback Brandon Weeden sustained a head injury in the final minutes, so backup Colt McCoy finished the win. Batch was 20-of-34 for 199 yards. COLTS 20, BILLS 13 INDIANAPOLIS T.Y. Hilton scored on a 75-yard punt return and caught an 8-yard TD pass from Andrew Luck. Hilton is the first player in franchise history to score by punt return and pass reception in the same game. Luck was 20-of-37 for 240 yards with a TD and an interception. Buffalo (4-7) ended its red-zone drought with 11:30 left with a 1-yard TD pass from Ryan Fitzpatrick to Lee Smith to make it 20-13. JAGUARS 24, TITANS 19 JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Chad Henne threw two touchdown passes, sparking the NFLs worst offense for the second consecutive week. The Jaguars (2-9) snapped a 7-game losing streak and were competitive at home for the first time this season. Henne, making his first start in more than 13 months, found Cecil Shorts III on a 59-yard touchdown play in the third quarter and hooked up with rookie Justin Blackmon for a 7-yard score in the fourth. The Titans (4-7) cut the lead to 21-19 on Jake Lockers 6-yard pass to Kenny Britt with 4:52 remaining and had the ball with a chance to take the lead. But Russell Allen tipped Lockers pass over the middle and Dwight Lowery back on the field after a 5-week absence had his first interception of the season. DOLPHINS 24, SEAHAWKS 21 MIAMI Dan Carpenter kicked a 43-yard field goal on the final and Miami scored 17 points in the last 8:08. Rookie Ryan Tannehill drove Miami 65 yards in the final 92 seconds to set up the winning kick. He finished 18-for26 for 253 yards and a score. Leon Washington returned a kickoff for a touchdown for the eighth time to tie the NFL career record and put Seattle ahead with eight minutes left. Miami answered with an 80-yard drive capped by Tannehills 29-yard scoring pass to Charles Clay, making it 21-all. Miami (5-6) broke a 3-game losing streak. The Seahawks (6-5), who are unbeaten at home this year, lost for the fifth time in six road games.

With Wayne Trace leading 40-35 at the end of three periods, it was the Cougars who would make a run to start the period. Two Shayna Temple buckets kept the Raiders on top 44-40 before Van Wert responded. Baskets by Cheyenne Handy and Claire Butler, along with a free throw from Alexis Dowdy, gave Van Wert a 45-44 advantage before Brenda Feasby scored to give Wayne Trace a 46-45 lead. However, the Cougars then took control. A bucket by

Kaitlynn Hall followed by a trey and basket from Hannah Hulbert put Van Wert on top 52-46. After a Raider timeout, the Cougars continued to pull away. A Hulbert basket and two Erin Morrow free throws widened the lead to 56-46 and sealed the victory. Hulbert led the Lady Cougars with 11 points in the contest while Handy chipped in seven markers.

Twilight, Bond, Lincoln lead record weekend

By DAVID GERMAIN The Associated Press LOS ANGELES Bella Swan, James Bond and Abe Lincoln have combined to lift Hollywood to record Thanksgiving revenue at the box office. Kristen Stewarts finale as Bella in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 was No. 1 again with $64 million during the five-day holiday stretch that began Wednesday, according to studio estimates Sunday. Daniel Craigs Bond adventure Skyfall came in at No. 2 with $51 million, while Daniel Day-Lewis and Steven Spielbergs Civil War saga Lincoln finished third with $34.1 million. According to box-office tracker Hollywood. com, the three films paced Hollywood to an all-time Thanksgiving week best of about $290 million from Wednesday to Sunday. That tops the previous record of $273 million over Thanksgiving in 2009, when The Twilight Saga: New Moon led the weekend. This Thanksgiving also was a huge 25 percent jump from a year ago, when domestic revenues were a weak $232 million as some big holiday releases fizzled. With a strong December lineup ahead, Hollywood has resumed its record revenue pace for the year after a brief box-office lull in late summer and early fall. Domestic revenues for 2012 are at $9.75 billion, putting Hollywood potentially on track for its first $11 billion year, which would beat the 2009 record of $10.6 billion, said Hollywood. com analyst Paul Dergarabedian. Were barreling toward a record-breaking box-office year, Dergarabedian said. Its built on the back of just a lot of really strong movies that have come out over the past few weekends. It bodes very well for the rest of the holidays. The Twilight finale, Skyfall and Lincoln finished in the same top-three rankings for the second-straight weekend as new releases were unable to dislodge the holdovers. Released by Lionsgates Summit Entertainment banner, Breaking Dawn Part 2, pulled in $43.1 million from Friday to Sunday, raising its domestic total to $227 million. The movie added $97.4 million overseas to bring its international total to $350.8 million and its worldwide take to $577.7 million. Sonys Skyfall also topped $200 million domestically, ringing up $36 million for the three-day weekend to put its U.S. total at $221.7 million. With $41.3 million more overseas, Skyfall raised its international revenues to $568.4 million and its worldwide sales to $790.1 million. Lincoln, a DreamWorks film distributed by Disney, took in $25 million over the weekend to lift its domestic revenue to $62.2 million. Leading the newcomers was Paramount and DreamWorks Animations tale Rise of the Guardians at No. 4 with $24 million for the weekend and $32.6 million since opening Wednesday. Based on William Joyces Guardians of Childhood books, Rise of the Guardians gathers Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy and other mythical beings as a team of heroes battling an evil overlord. Close behind at No. 5 was director Ang Lees shipwreck saga Life of Pi at No. 5 with $22 million over the weekend. The 20th Century Fox release has taken in $30.2 million domestically since its Wednesday debut and added $17.5 million in four Asian markets. Life of Pi was adapted from Yann Martels best-selling novel about an Indian youth adrift on a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger. Many fans considered the introspective novel impossible to film, but Lee has charmed audiences and critics with an inspiring survival story told through dazzling 3-D images. The weekends other new wide release, a remake of the 1980s U.S.-invasion tale Red Dawn, opened at No. 7 with $14.6 million, raising its total to $22 million since debuting Wednesday. Red Dawn sat on the shelf for three years while studio backer MGM went through bankruptcy, with distributor FilmDistrict eventually picking it up for domestic release. The movies cast includes Chris Hemsworth (Thor) and Josh Hutcherson (The Hunger Games) in a story of young guerrillas battling North Korean invaders.

In limited release, Fox Searchlights Hitchcock opened solidly with about $300,000 in 17 theaters. The movie stars Anthony Hopkins as Alfred Hitchcock in a behind-the-scenes story of the making of Psycho. The weekends overall strength came from a broad range of films that clicked with various audiences, from action and family fare to thoughtful drama. This is a marketplace that has something for everyone, said Chris Aronson, head of distribution for 20th Century Fox. You have something deeper like Life of Pi, yet you have a very successful sequel in Twilight at the same time. Adult bio-drama, if you will, in Lincoln, and you have Bond. Thats the secret to a very successful and balanced marketplace. Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Hollywood.com. Where available, latest international numbers are also included. Final domestic figures will be released today. 1. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2, $43.1 million. 2. Skyfall, $36 million. 3. Lincoln, $25 million. 4. Rise of the Guardians, $24 million. 5. Life of Pi, $22 million. 6. Wreck-It Ralph, $16.8 million. 7. Red Dawn, $14.6 million. 8. Flight, $8.6 million. 9.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- A joint endeavor in which youre involved can be far more successful than you may realize if youre smart enough to follow it through to its conclusion. Once committed, stay with it. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If you honestly believe your work performance is superior, this is a good day to talk to the powers that be about the possibility of getting some kind of compensation. Be assertive but truthful, and you cant fail. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Youre resourceful and practical, arousing much enthusiasm in your co-workers. Its a winning combination that others cant help but want to follow. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Do not underestimate the many qualities that you have to offer. This is an excellent day to take a gamble on your talents and abilities, so dont hesitate to do so. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- It could be more important than usual for both you and your mate to be in accord on a critical issue. When harmony is allowed to prevail, successful results become more likely. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Theres a good chance that circumstances could cause you to revise some of your methods and/ or procedures. It might take a bit of courage on your part to do so. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 2012 Certain changes over which youll have little or no control could usher in some promising material conditions in the year ahead. It will behoove you to flow with events whenever these shifts begin to occur. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- To achieve the best results when negotiating with someone who is using intimidating methods, assume that the other party is merely bluffing. Even if theyre not, the extra confidence will give you the edge. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Its important to follow a carefully conceived game plan regarding an important matter. Try your best not to deviate from such a blueprint, because your on-the-spot decisionmaking might not be optimal. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Unfortunately, this might not be one of your more productive days, but not for a lack of industriousness on your part. It is likely to be due to others unloading excess work on you. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You could end up being greatly disappointed if you fail to keep your hopes and expectations within reasonable bounds. Your optimism simply wont match your opportunities. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Dont expect to learn too much if you are intimidated by the subject matter. Get back in character and trust your smarts to figure out what its all about. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -Experiencing some opposition and/ or frustration could prevent you from conducting business in your usual manner. Do your best to keep things moving forward. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -On issues where you and your mate hold divergent opinions, it might be difficult for either of you to alter the others point of view. Applying pressure will only make matters worse. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -Youre apt to be totally unyielding with anyone who takes you for granted, yet when someone truly needs your help, youll be the first to lend a hand. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- If what you want turns out to be the opposite of what everybody else desires, it might be quite difficult for you to go along with them. Nonetheless, you need to take this one for the team. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- An important personal objective might not be in accord with the wishes and/ or plans of your colleagues. Instead of being supportive, they could make things harder for you. Try to be diplomatic, but also be firm. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Many little annoyances, which you would normally overlook, could become overwhelming if you dont try to get a handle on them. Sweat the small stuff. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Someone who is trying to use intimidating methods to get you to comply with his or her wishes might act like he or she has the upper hand, but its just a bluff. Dont be taken in.

UN climate talks open in Qatar

BY KARL RITTER The Associated Press DOHA, Qatar U.N. talks on a new climate pact resumed today in oil and gas-rich Qatar, where negotiators from nearly 200 countries will discuss fighting global warming and helping poor nations adapt to it. The two-decade-old talks have not fulfilled their main purpose: reducing the greenhouse gas emissions that scientists say are warming the planet. Attempts to create a new climate treaty failed in Copenhagen three years ago but countries agreed last year to try again, giving themselves a deadline of 2015 to adopt a new treaty. Several issues need to be resolved by then, including how to spread the burden of emissions cuts between rich and poor countries. Thats unlikely to be decided in the Qatari capital of Doha, where negotiators will focus on extending the Kyoto Protocol, an emissions deal for industrialized countries, and trying to raise billions of dollars to help developing countries adapt to a shifting climate. We owe it to our people, the global citizenry. We owe it to our children to give them a safer future than what they are currently facing, said South African Foreign Minister Maite Nkoana-Mashabane, who led last years talks in Durban, South Africa. The U.N. process is often criticized, even ridiculed, both by climate activists who say the talks are too slow, and by those who challenge the scientific near-consensus that the global temperature rise is at least partly caused by human activity, primarily the burning of fossil fuels like coal and oil. Environmentalists found the choice of Qatar as host of the two-week conference ironic. The tiny Persian Gulf emirate owes its wealth to large resources of gas and oil and emits more greenhouse gases per capita than any other nation. Yet it hasnt announced any climate action in the U.N. process, and former Qatari oil minister Abdullah Bin Hamad Al-Attiyah didnt do so when

he opened the conference today. We should not concentrate on the per capita (emissions), we should concentrate on the amount from each country, Al-Attiyah told reporters. I think Qatar is the right place to host the conference, he added. The concentration of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide has jumped 20 percent since 2000, according to a U.N. report released last week. The report also showed that there is a growing gap between what governments are doing to curb emissions and what needs to be done to protect the world from potentially dangerous levels of warming. The goal of the U.N. talks is to keep the global temperature rise under 2 degrees C (3.6 F), compared to pre-industrial times. But efforts taken so far to rein in emissions, reduce deforestation and promote clean technology are not getting the job done. A recent projection by the World Bank showed temperatures are expected to increase by up to 4 degrees C (7.2 F) by 2100.

In shocker, Israels Barak quits politics

BY AMY TEIBEL The Associated Press JERUSALEM Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak on today abruptly announced he was quitting politics, injecting new turmoil into the Israeli political system weeks ahead of general elections. Barak, Israels most-decorated soldier and one-time prime minister, said he would stay on in his current post until a new government is formed following the Jan. 22 balloting. His resignation could mean the departure of the most moderating influence on hawkish Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who holds a wide lead in polls and is expected to easily win re-election. Barak, who heads a small centrist faction in parliament, often served as Netanyahus unofficial envoy to Washington to smooth over differences with the Obama White House. His impending departure comes at a key time for Israel, as the nation struggles to find its way in a region where the old order of Arab autocrats has been swept aside by the Arab Spring and the rise of Islamist political parties. Israel also faces a looming decision on whether to attack Irans nuclear program, which the Jewish state fears is designed to develop atomic weapons a charge Tehran denies. Less than a week ago, Barak led an eight-day military offensive against the Hamas militant group that rules the Gaza Strip. The fighting, aimed at ending rocket fire from the Palestinian territory, ended in a fragile truce. I didnt make this decision (to leave politics) without hesitating, but I made it wholeheartedly, he told a hastily arranged news conference, saying he had been wrestling with the decision for weeks. He evaded repeated questions about whether he might agree to serve as a Cabinet minister in an upcoming government, leaving open the possibility that he might still retain an impact on Israeli politics. While most Cabinet ministers also hold parliamentary seats, they do not have to be elected lawmakers, and such appointments have been made in the past. Barak, 70, made the surprise announcement even after polls showed his breakaway Independence Party gaining momentum after the Gaza campaign. Despite the bump in the polls, Barak still could have found himself fighting for his political survival once election day rolls around. Surveys before the Gaza operation were unkind to his party, at times showing it polling too

weakly to even send a single representative to parliament. I feel I have exhausted my political activity, which had never been an object of desire for me. There are many ways for me to serve the country, not just through politics, he said, adding that his decision was spurred in part by his desire to spend more time with his family. Possible replacements include Vice Premier Moshe Yaalon, a former military chief, and Shaul Mofaz, a former military chief and defense minister, who now serves as chairman of the opposition Kadima Party. Baraks political career was as turbulent as his 36-year military career was dazzling. The former war hero and military chief of staff blazed into politics on the coattails of his mentor, Yitzhak Rabin, and had been viewed by many as his heir apparent. With a resume that includes commanding some of Israels most daring hostage rescue operations and raids, Barak was elected prime minister from the centrist Labor Party in 1999 just four years after retiring from the military. Many Israelis hoped he would parlay what was seen as his sharp strategic mind and unorthodox methods on the battlefield into long-elusive accords with the Palestinians and Syria.
