BY STACY TAFF

DELPHOS — A meeting
of minds often frustrates fam-
ily members. When one is
confronted with the inability
to connect due to dementia,
that frustration is multiplied.
On this subject, Diana Waugh
of Waterville hopes to help
by giving seminars to fami-
lies and caregivers all over
the country.
Since 1987, Waugh has
gained experience in nursing
homes and health care facili-
ties in Ohio, Pennsylvania and
Tennessee. Her path led to
directing Waugh Consulting,
an organization centered
around helping health care
professionals become long-
term care experts. Monday
evening, she presented a
seminar called “Unlocking
the Door to Successful
Conversations with Loved
Ones with Cognitive Loss” at
the St. John’s Little Theater.
“I call it the elephant in
the room,” Waugh said, refer-
ring to memory loss. “Eighty
percent of people in nursing
facilities have some form of
memory loss and I just don’t
think we’re doing enough to
help the families deal with
this successfully. I wrote a

John Kasich was sworn in
as governor Monday and is
now responsible for an $8.4
billion budget deficit. He is
expected to release informal
data by the end of March
for the next biennial budget,
which will take effect in early
summer. In the meantime,
school treasurers are getting
nervous for several reasons.
Not only are they hearing talk
of cuts between 10-20 percent
but the governor’s reputation
precedes him and it doesn’t
indicate public school sup-
port.

neighbor: Parents of
shooting suspect devastated
By JACQUes BiLLeAUD
and JULie WAtson
the Associated Press
PHOENIX (AP) — The
parents of the suspect in
Saturday’s shooting spree in
Tucscon are devastated and
guilt-ridden, a neighbor said.
Jared Loughner, 22,
appeared in court Monday on
federal charges that he tried to
assassinate U.S. Rep. Gabrielle
Giffords and killed a federal
judge. He is also accused of
killing five others and wound-
ing or injuring 13 others.
Loughner’s parents, Randy
and Amy Loughner, are dev-
astated, according to neighbor
Wayne Smith, 70.
“And they feel guilty for
what happened,” he told
KPHO-TV Monday evening.
“They want to know, where
did they fail? I told them they
didn’t fail. They taught him
everything about right and
wrong. We all know you can
teach someone everything and
have no control how it works
out.”
Amy Loughner has been
in bed, crying nonstop since
Saturday, Smith said.
Roxanne Osler, of Tucson,
whose son had been a friend of
Jared Loughner’s, said he had
a bad relationship with his par-
ents and had distanced himself
from family.
“What Jared did was wrong.
But people need to know about
him,” she told The Washington
Post. “I wish people would
Scores missing in tsunami-like flood in Australia
BRISBANE, Australia
(AP) — Greg Kowald was
driving through the center
of Toowoomba when a ter-
rifying, tsunami-like wall
of water roared through
the streets of the northeast
Australian city.
Office windows explod-
ed, cars careened into trees
and bobbed in the churning
brown water like corks. The
deluge washed away bridges
and sidewalks; people des-
perately clung to power poles
to survive. Before it was over,
the flash flood left at least 10
dead and 78 missing.
“The water was literally
leaping, six or 10 feet into
the air, through creeks and
over bridges and into parks,”
Kowald, a 53-year-old musi-
cian, told The Associated Press
on today. “There was nowhere
to escape, even if there had
been warnings. There was just
a sea of water about a kilome-
ter (half a mile) wide.”
Chinese stealth fighter
makes first test flight
By CHristoPHer

the Associated Press
BEIJING — China’s

made its first-known test
flight today, marking dramat-

efforts to develop cutting-
edge military technologies.
The prototype plane dubbed
the J-20 flew for about 15

had nobody, and that’s not a

Loughner’s parents have
not spoken publicly, though
Smith said the father plans to
release a statement.
Wearing a beige prison
jumpsuit and handcuffs and
sporting a pink gash on the
hairline of his shaved head,
Loughner on Monday after-
noon spoke just a brief reply
when the judge asked if he
understood that he could get
life in prison — or the death
penalty — for killing federal
Judge John Roll.
“Yes,” he said.
Loughner was being held
without bail. Meanwhile, resi-
dents of Tucson prepared for
memorial services today for
the six killed in the shooting.
The first real community
gathering for mourners since
the rampage — a Mass for
all the victims at St. Odelia’s
Parish in Tucson — was set
for 7 p.m. President Barack
Obama was scheduled to arrive
in Arizona Wednesday for a
memorial service days after
calling the attack a tragedy for
the entire country.

Premier Anna Bligh said
there were “grave fears” for
at least 18 of those missing.
The high waters headed
next to Australia’s third-larg-
est city, Brisbane, where up to
9,000 homes were expected
to be swamped. The Brisbane
River overflowed its banks
today and officials warned
that dozens of low-lying
neighborhoods and parts of
downtown could be inundat-

Toowoomba on Monday. It
clothes and army overcoats
were also posted on unofficial
Chinese military websites.
A J-10 fighter — China’s
last homegrown jet — flew
behind it as a chase plane.
The test flight comes on the
second day of a visit to China
by U.S. Defense Secretary
Robert Gates, and the normal-
ly secretive military made no
attempt to hide it or remove
photos and reports about the
J-20 from the Internet.
The timing and hands-
off approach is apparently
intended to send the message
that Beijing is responding to
calls from the U.S. and others
to be more transparent about
its defense modernization and
future intentions.

Shooting gives Congress
a moment to stop, think
By JIM KUHNHENN
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The
shooting rampage in Arizona
seems to have created a reset
moment for confrontational
politics, as lawmakers reflect
on the repercussions of the
overheated rhetoric traded on
the airwaves and on the cam-
paign trail.
Members of Congress from
both parties called Sunday for
civility over belligerence as
the House temporarily shelved
the contentious debate over
repealing the health care law
and lawmakers paused to con-
template the tragedy.
Critically wounded Rep.
Gabrielle Giffords, the appar-
ent target of a lone shooter,
emerged as a potent and cau-
tionary symbol of the current
political climate. Still, there
was no clear motivation for
the attack, and some warned
against making provocative

the culprits in the assault.
Six died and 14 were
wounded in the shooting at
a Tucson shopping center
where Giffords was holding a
gathering with constituents.
Authorities said the attack
was the work of a single
gunman. They described
the apprehended suspect,
22-year-old Jared Loughner,
as mentally unstable.
Reform needed to prevent oil spills
By DINA CAPPIELLO
and HARRY R. WEBER
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A
presidential panel investigat-
ing the Gulf oil spill will call
for additional reforms from
the oil industry, Congress
and the Obama administra-

to avert another catastrophic
accident offshore.
The blowout and rig explo-
sion last April that killed 11
workers and released more
than 200 million gallons of
oil from the damaged well
have prompted changes in the
oil industry and at the agency
in charge of offshore drilling.
But the national oil spill com-
mission will call for an even
greater overhaul in federal
regulations and industry-led
oversight when it issues its
final report today to President
Barack Obama, said an offi-
cial who was briefed on the
report but not authorized to
speak about it publicly.
Among the commission’s
recommendations: increasing
budgets and training for the

Defiant DeLay gets 3-year prison term
By JUAN A. LOZANO
Associated Press
AUSTIN, Texas — Former
U.S. House Majority Leader
Tom DeLay remained defiant
as he faced a judge’s sentence
to three years in prison for a
scheme to illegally influence
Texas elections, insisting he
committed no crime and was
the victim of selective pros-
ecution by authorities target-
ing his politics.
“Everything I did was cov-
ered by accountants and law-
yers telling me what I had to
do to stay within the law,”
the Houston-area Republican
said. “I can’t be remorseful
for something I don’t think
I did.”
But Senior Judge Pat Priest
disagreed with DeLay, saying
those who write laws should
be bound by them, and sen-
tenced the man once consid-
ered one of the nation’s most
powerful and feared lawmak-
ers to three years in prison.
The sentence came after

to come together as a nation
in prayer or reflection, keep-
ing the victims and their fami-
lies closely at heart,” he said.
The Supreme Court said it
plans to convene 10 minutes
early on Monday, at 9:50 a.m.,
so the justices can observe the
moment of silence at 11 a.m.
House Speaker John
Boehner told lawmakers in
a conference call Sunday to
“pull together as an institu-
tion.”
“What is critical is that
we stand together at this dark
time as one body,“ he said.
”We need to rally around our
wounded colleague, the fami-
lies of the fallen, and the peo-
ple of Arizona’s 8th District.
And, frankly, we need to rally
around each other.“
House Minority Leader
Nancy Pelosi canceled a
scheduled appearance Monday
at the Detroit auto show.
Such unifying pauses are
usual after national tragedies.
The Sept. 11, 2001, terror-
ist attack was a coalescing
moment in the nation that for
a time improved the tone of
shore have a spill; dedicat-
ing 80 percent of fines and
penalties from the BP spill to
environmental restoration in
the Gulf; and lending more
weight to scientific advice in
government decisions about
where to permit oil and gas
leasing.
Many of the report’s con-
clusions were previewed in
earlier discussions by the
panel, and at least one —
the suggestion that water pol-
lution fines be used to pay
for Gulf Coast restoration
— has been endorsed by the
president. For that to occur,
Congress would have to pass
legislation.
“The improvements in
the Interior Department’s
regulatory capability are,
we believe, relatively mod-
est,” co-chairman William K.
Reilly said during a meeting
in early December in which
the panel’s staff outlined its
recommended reforms. “And
failure to upgrade the quality
of federal regulation would
be a national scandal.”
The seven-member
panel will recommend that
Congress draft legislation to
further reorganize the Interior
Department, which has already
adjusted its structure to sepa-
$10,000 bond following three
hours in the Travis County
jail, where he was taken after
being sentenced.
During a 10-minute speech
to the judge before his sen-
tencing, DeLay said the polit-
ically motivated case against
him had affected his wife’s
health, forced him to raise
and spend $10 million in legal
fees and cost him everything
he had worked for — includ-
ing the second-highest post in
the U.S. House.
“Just because somebody
disagrees with you they got to
put you in jail, bankrupt you,
destroy your family,” he said.
DeLay was convicted in
Travis County, one of the
most Democratic counties in
Texas, which is one of the
most Republican states in the
country.
Lead prosecutor Gary
Cobb said there was nothing
political about DeLay’s pros-
ecution and called the former
congressman “arrogant” for
not taking responsibility for
his crime.
“He’s been accusing us
of (politics) ever since Day
One. But every time someone
opposes him, tries to hold him
to account for something he’s
done, he accuses those people
of politics,” Cobb said.
After the sentencing,
DeLay’s attorney Dick
DeGuerin said only that the
case would not stand on
appeal.
“Tom DeLay did not steal.
He did not rob. He did not line

Capitol Hill debate. Kathleen
Hall Jamieson, director of
the Annenberg Public Policy
Center at the University of
Pennsylvania and an expert
on political rhetoric, said
there were similar breaks after
the assassinations of Robert
Kennedy and Martin Luther
King Jr.
“There was a lot of discus-
sion about the meaning of the
moment and what rhetoric had
done to incite it,” she said.
What’s more, the attack
on Giffords has given mem-
bers of Congress a sense of
unusual common purpose.
Leaders from both parties
worked together Sunday to
offer members assurances that
they were reviewing security
measures.
Rep. John Larson, D-Conn.,
the chairman of the House
Democratic Caucus, said his
colleagues hope for “greater
comity within the House and
the discourse that takes place
all across this country.”
Still, politics is a quar-
relsome business and those
breaks are short-lived. In the
1990s politicians lament-
ed “the politics of person-
al destruction.” President
George W. Bush was the sub-
ject of vicious criticism from
the left, and President Obama
has come under stinging, per-
sonal attack from some of his
critics.
rate the conflicting functions
of collecting revenue from
oil companies and ensur-
ing those companies operate
safely. Commissioners are
also likely to recommend that
companies drilling in the U.S.
adopt safety procedures that
are common in other coun-
tries but not required in the
Gulf.
Kendra Barkoff, a spokes-
woman for Interior Secretary
Ken Salazar, said in a state-
ment Monday that the depart-
ment has “undertaken an
aggressive overhaul” that has
increased safety and ensured
that oil and gas development
is done responsibly.
“We have made signifi-
cant progress over the last
eight months, but these
reforms must continue and
we look forward to reviewing
the commission’s recommen-
dations,” Barkoff said.
On the industry side, the
panel will signal its support
for an industry-led safety
institute, similar to the one
created by the nuclear power
industry after the 1979 Three
Mile Island accident.
Both industry and govern-
ment have taken numerous
steps to improve safety since
the incident.
his own pockets. He did what
he did because he believed he
was doing right,” DeGuerin,
who had asked for probation
for the ex-lawmaker, said
before the sentencing.
Prosecutors, who wanted a
10-year sentence, said DeLay
should not be given proba-
tion because he had shown no
remorse.
Priest sentenced DeLay to
the three-year term on the
conspiracy charge. He also
sentenced him to five years in
prison on the money launder-
ing charge but allowed DeLay
to serve 10 years of probation
instead of more prison time.
DeLay had faced up to life in
prison.
The ruling came after a
brief sentencing hearing in
which former U.S. House
Speaker Dennis Hastert testi-
fied on DeLay’s behalf.
Hastert, an Illinois
Republican who was House
speaker from 1999 to 2006,
said DeLay was not moti-
vated by power but by a need
to help others. Hastert talked
about DeLay’s conserva-
tive and religious values, his
efforts to provide tax relief
for his constituents in Texas,
his work helping foster chil-
dren and the help he provided
to the family of one of the
police officers who was killed
in a 1998 shooting at the U.S.
Capitol in Washington.
“That’s the real Tom DeLay
that a lot of people never got
to see,” said Hastert, who was
DeLay’s only witness.

Jays finish 6th at State Duals
For The Delphos Herald
MATAMORA — The St.
John’s wrestling team com-
peted this past Sunday in the
Ohio High School Wrestling
Coaches Association State
Dual meet at Evergreen High
School in Metamora and fin-
ished in sixth place out of
eight teams.
“We wrestled very well this
past weekend competing with
the top teams in Division III in
the state of Ohio; we just didn’t
have enough point-scorers to
win the duals. We are void-
ing 103 and 112, which starts
us out in a 12-0 hole before
we really even get wrestling,”
Blue Jay head coach Derek
Sterling began. “With that said,
the other 12 weight classes
we looked very good, winning
five out of those 12 in each
of our two meets. The first
round, we lost to a very tal-
ented Ashland Crestview team
who had five returning state
qualifiers in their lineup. The
second round we had a for-
feit against Massillon Tuslaw,
who withdrew due to tragic
car accident with a high school
student; this put us in the 5th-
and 6th-place matchup versus
Dixie.
“I really thought we
matched up well with Dixie but
they just had too many weap-
ons. They also had a hand-
ful of state qualifiers in their
lineup, including Ethan Hayes,
a returning 215-pound State
Champion, and Cody Johnson,
a state placer at 285. Our wres-
tlers didn’t back down; they
took the fight right to these
teams and left everything they
had on the mats.”
Leading the way for the
Blue Jay matmen were a trio
of undefeated wrestlers: soph-
omore Will Buettner (135),
junior Logan Looser (140) and
senior Ryan Musser (145).

stepped up for this meet; this

Pirates’ rally traps Lady Knights
By Kirk Dougal
Times Bulletin Editor
CONVOY – Crestview
started the third quarter with
two buckets from beyond the
arc to open up a 9-point
lead before Continental’s
half-court trap defense
led the visiting Lady
Pirates to a 32-29 come-
from-behind victory in a
non-conference game on
Monday in Convoy.
The loss included the
Knights not scoring in
the fourth quarter when
Continental turned up the
pressure and did not allow
Crestview to get off shots.
“We tried to speed it up a
little bit and hopefully show
them something they didn’t
see in the first half,” said
Pirate coach Greg Spitnale. “I
thought it changed the tempo
quite a bit and helped us a
lot.”
Crestview coach Greg
Rickard agreed the trap
defense changed the face of
the game.
“They were sitting in a
2-3 zone, or a little bit of a
matchup, and we were get-
ting the ball over half court
and getting some people open
and doing some nice things,”
he said. “But that half-court
trap, that’s when it kind of
fell apart. I think we had 11
turnovers and four shots in
the first 7:52 of the fourth
quarter.”
Before then, the game had
been a battle of seeing which
team could score the most in
the paint. Pirate post player

seen Logan and Will wrestle.
They really had a great week
of practice last week and
pushed each other to the limit
every single day,” Sterling
continued. “The work ethic
these two put into practice this
past week really showed out
there on the mats on Sunday;
when they were tired at prac-
tice they just seemed to push
harder. This kind of attitude is
contagious and I hope the rest
of the team catches it too.
“Ryan also went 2-0 and
had to come back from an
injury this past week and
missed most of the practices
recovering. His goals were
still set very high and he was
working hard in the weight
room and conditioning to get
himself ready to achieve his
goals. Ryan pinned both of
his opponents and definitely
brought his game to a new
level of intensity.”
Aaron Merschman (125),
Austin Martin (130), Brett
Schwinnen (160) and Logan
Heiing (189) all went 1-1.
“They put in a nice show-
ing for themselves. Aaron
has been dealing with a big
weight cut this past week and
his stamina was down a little
bit due to this; he wrestled
very well and could have eas-
ily been 2-0,” Sterling went
on. “Logan Heiing is coming
Erin Weisenburger opened
the game by taking two lobs
into the block and turning
them into buckets before
Crestview’s Madison Etzler
was able to sink a 15-footer
for the home team. The
Knights’ other Madison
– Preston – also did dam-
age down low with a short
jumper in the lane and a
spin move in the post
sandwiched around a put-
back by Weisenburger.
Crestview’s Catelyn Mefferd
sank a 15-footer to close out
the scoring in the first period
but everyone had their mind
on Continental point guard
Taylor Williamson when she
picked up her third foul of
the game with 13.9 seconds
remaining. At the end of one,
Crestview led 8-7.
The Pirates took the
lead back right away when
Weisenburger again had
a putback less than 10 sec-
onds into the second quar-
ter. That’s the way the peri-
od played out with Preston
scoring inside for Crestview
while Weisenburger and Leva
Weller put the ball in the
bucket in close for the Pirates.
At the intermission, Crestview
clung to a 17-14 lead.
After the break, the
Knights’ Etzler and Danica
Hicks both hit treys to start
the third. The outside buckets
opened up some passing lanes
and Crestview took advantage
with good interior passing.
Preston was the beneficiary as
the Crestview guards drove in
low and then kicked the ball
into the paint for close shots.

later to tie it.
Mike Rupp and Kris Letang
had put Pittsburgh ahead 2-0
with goals in the second peri-
od and Marc-Andre Fleury
was working on his second
shutout of the season until the
game turned dramatically.
Boston scored only one

surge than it did in its previ-
ous three games combined.

rated shoulder injury and he,
too, could have easily been

good wrestler from Crestview

nice wrestler from Dixie; he

Austin is only a freshman and
to compete at a tournament at

the second period. Austin is

“Overall, I am very

But that is when Coach
Spitnale threw on the press.
Suddenly, Crestview began
having trouble getting the
ball closer than 30 feet to
the bucket while Continental
pushed the ball inside to
Weller, who had seven points
in the period. Going into the
final eight minutes, Crestview
led 29-23.
Both teams struggled to
score at the beginning of
the fourth quarter. Finally
Continental’s Williamson –
who had played with three
fouls since the closing seconds
of the first period – canned
a 3-pointer that hit every
inch of the rim before fall-
ing through at the 5:28 mark.
The Lady Pirates got a free
throw from Stephanie Coble
before it was Weisenburger
again, this time on a 10-foot
fade, to tie the game at 29-29.
Turnovers continued to
plague Crestview the rest of
the way while Continental got
key free throws from Weller,
Taylor Bidlack and Coble to
put the game on ice for the
Pirates.
After the game,
Crestview’s coach was frus-
trated with how the game fin-
ished.
“I thought we did a little
bit better job on their high-
low (in the second half),” said
Rickard. “ But we let their
two post players score 25 of
their 32, so we had trouble
inside with their post pres-
ence.”

to play,” said Continental’s
Spitnale. “They are well-

checking line, has scored in three
straight games for the first time in
his career.
The Coyotes had a 2-goal flurry
in the second, going up 2-1 on
Lauri Korpikovki’s deflection and Lee

Frozen South may need days to thaw out

By PAGE IVEY
Associated Press
COLUMBIA, S.C. — It could be days
before icy, treacherous conditions improve
for areas of the South hit by a wintry blast that
sent cars sliding off the road, emptied grocery
shelves and had officials nervously watching
ice-laden powerlines and tree limbs.
Snow ranging from several inches to more
than a foot Sunday and Monday blanketed
states from Louisiana to the Carolinas — a
region where many cities have only a handful
of snow plows, if any. And more misery was
on the way: The snow began turning to freez-
ing rain in numerous areas, and low tempera-
tures threatened to turn roads that may have
thawed icy overnight.
“I had God with me this morning!”
Yolanda Hill, manager of a Shell station
north of Columbia, said of her drive to work.
“I drove in the middle of the street, but, hey,
I’m here.”
Freezing rain followed the snow in many
spots, turning major highways into ice rinks
and coating pine trees and power lines.
“If you’re off the main roads, it’s a skating
rink,” said Tim Loucks, manager of the Pilot
Truck Stop in Haughton, La.
The storm shut down most cities and
towns, closed many businesses, and canceled
most flights at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson
International Airport, the world’s busiest.
At least nine people were killed in weather-
related traffic accidents.
In South Carolina, the winter storm moved
out of the area early today but left thousands
without power.
Most of North Carolina remained under
a winter storm warning. Kym Littlejohn was
heeding the governor’s call for people to stay
home.
“The house is warm, we’ve got plenty of
food, and we can watch TV,” said Littlejohn,
who was snowbound in her Charlotte home
Monday after about five inches fell in her
neighborhood. “As long as we don’t lose
power, we’ll be fine.”
Conditions were unlikely to improve any-
time soon. Temperatures should stay below
freezing for days, and more snow is predicted.
That means treacherous travel conditions
could persist until Wednesday or beyond.
“The problem here is that they’re not used
to it, so the equipment and the sanitation
removal and the snow removal is not really
geared for this kind of situation,” said Tino
Grana, 48, of New York City, who traveled to
Atlanta to sell art at a downtown trade show.
Atlanta, which got 4 to 7 inches, has just
eight snow plows. The city hired a fleet of 11
privately run trucks to help spread salt and
gravel.
The storm system was expected to spread
north to Ohio and could hit the snow-weary
Northeast later in the week. A Christmas
blizzard dumped more than 2 feet of snow on
New York City and other parts of the region,
crippling holiday travel and nearly shutting
down major cities.
The National Weather Service issued a
winter storm watch for the Big Apple from
today through Wednesday afternoon, calling
for the city and its suburbs to get between 6
and 12 inches of snow.
The heaviest snow fell in parts of Tennessee
that received as much as 13 inches.
The weather began rolling across the South
on Sunday, coating bridges and roads with
snow, sleet and freezing rain. The gover-
nors of Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, North
Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee
declared emergencies. Schools and colleges
called off classes for a second day today.
South Carolina troopers worked nearly
2,000 wrecks Monday, state Highway Patrol
Sgt. Kelley Hughes said. More were expected
overnight as the slush on major highways was
freezing again. Like many southern states,
South Carolina has limited equipment to fight
frozen roads.
In all, it has about 800 pieces, and that’s
even using graders to smooth asphalt to push
away slush along with snow plows and salt
spreaders.
“You have no traction,” Hughes said.
“You’re just rolling the dice by even going
out.”
In Georgia, the storm forced inauguration
ceremonies for newly elected Gov. Nathan
Deal to be moved inside from the state
Capitol steps. Arkansas officials planned to
move their inauguration indoors today.
Drivers struggled to stay on slippery pave-
ment, and roads were littered with aban-
doned vehicles. Some motorists got out in the
middle of the interstate to push their cars up
ice-covered ramps.
“Towns down here just don’t have the
equipment to deal with this much snow,” said
Joel Weems, a worker at the University of
Mississippi.
At Blackhawk Hardware in Charlotte,
owner Jim Wilkerson was hoping for a deliv-
ery of shovels and ice melt. There was only
one problem: the warehouse is in snowy
Atlanta, and as of Monday afternoon couldn’t
even get enough workers in to load trucks.
“We’ve had about 1,000 calls, but we ran
out of ice melt, shovels and sleds by the time
we opened on Sunday,” he said. “We could
have sold 5,000 shovels if we’d had them.”
But the latest storm also offered kids —
and some adults acting like kids — a rare
chance to play in the snow.
“I’m trying to have a snowball fight with
my friend,” said 15-year-old Connor Ormond
of Columbia, S.C., as he trotted to a friend’s
house, snowball in hand. “This is the most
snow I’ve ever seen!”
In Memphis, 21-year-old Ronni Jupson
said the roads weren’t as bad as she feared
they would be.
“I love snow, I’m not going to lie,” she
said. “I got really nostalgic. I’m just sad that I
have to be an adult and work.”

‘Survivor’ winner failed to refile

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Reality TV star Richard Hatch
violated the terms of his supervised release by failing to refile his
tax returns, a judge ruled Monday, but he said he hadn’t decided
whether to put the “Survivor” winner back behind bars. He
delayed sentencing until he could receive additional arguments.
Hatch, who was convicted in 2006 of failing to pay taxes on
the $1 million prize he won on the debut season of the CBS reality
series, spent more than three years in federal prison and was then
placed on three years of supervised release. He was released in
2009 and has been living in Newport.
Federal authorities accuse him of violating the conditions of
his release by failing to file amended tax returns for the years 2000
and 2001, as required by a judge at the time of his sentencing.
“I don’t think the question of a violation in itself is really in any
doubt,” U.S. District Judge William Smith said, adding that Hatch
appears to have a track record of mocking the court system and
alleging unfair persecution.
He said he could put Hatch back behind bars for the remaining
two years of his supervised release if he finds that Hatch willfully
violated the terms of his freedom, as prosecutors allege. The judge
ordered prosecutors and Hatch’s lawyer to file new paperwork
and said Hatch would be sentenced later.
The Internal Revenue Service says that as of last February,
Hatch owed about $1.7 million in taxes for 2000 and 2001 —
including interest and penalties. But Hatch has appealed that
finding to the U.S. Tax Court, and his amended tax returns cannot
be filed until after his appeal is concluded, argued Hatch’s federal
public defender, Mary McElroy.
“He has the right to go through that process. He’s been coop-
erating with that process,” she said.
But Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Reich argued that Hatch
had an opportunity to refile his tax returns before he appealed to
the U.S. Tax Court, and that his failure to do so was part of his
overall resistance to complying with the law.
“Instead, Mr. Hatch took the view that he was going to con-
tinue to fight the IRS, that he was going to continue to raise the
ridiculous arguments that he raised during the trial,” Reich said.
Last April, the IRS also issued a so-called “jeopardy assess-
ment” against Hatch, which is typically imposed when the agency
suspects a person may be trying to hide certain assets to avoid
paying taxes.
The IRS told him in a letter that it was concerned Hatch had
transferred his interest in Newport properties, “for little or no con-
sideration,” and “may be attempting to liquidate your interest in
these properties and conceal the proceeds from such liquidation”
to hinder the collection of his income tax for the years 2000 and
2001.
That allegation was not addressed in detail during Monday’s
hearing.
Hatch said outside court that he was grateful the judge appeared
willing to listen to his position and that the government had been
“trying to paint me in a light that’s not true.”
Verizon to start selling iPhone
NEW YORK (AP) — Verizon Wireless would seem to be
a big winner after its expected announcement today that it will
start selling the iPhone and break Apple Inc.’s monogamous
relationship with AT&T Inc. in the U.S.
But for several reasons, the iPhone’s arrival to Verizon would
be poorly timed, and Verizon’s gains won’t be as clearcut.
There’s no doubt a Verizon iPhone would attract millions of
buyers, and it would give the country’s largest wireless carrier a
chance to catch up with AT&T in attracting high-paying smart-
phone customers.
Since the iPhone’s debut in 2007, AT&T has been its exclu-
sive distributor in the U.S. Many people held back because they
already had service with a carrier they liked or were apprehen-
sive about congestion on AT&T’s network, particularly in New
York and San Francisco.
Rumors about a Verizon iPhone have swirled for years and
have risen in recent months. The Wall Street Journal has report-
ed that an event Verizon is holding today is to announce a deal
with Apple to start selling iPhones at the end of the month.
Verizon, Apple and AT&T wouldn’t confirm that.
Analysts estimate Verizon iPhone sales this year would range
from 5 million to 13 million, some coming from what AT&T would
have sold. The iPhone is big business for AT&T: The carrier acti-
vated 11.1 million iPhones in the first nine months of 2010.
Many analysts say Verizon could sell more iPhones in the
U.S. than AT&T this year, given pent-up demand from custom-
ers not wanting to switch to AT&T.
Yet several factors may give prospective Verizon iPhone
buyers pause.
The first Verizon iPhone would likely only work on the older,
“3G” network. That network has wide coverage, excellent reli-
ability and less congestion than AT&T’s, but data speeds are
much slower than new “4G” networks both AT&T and Verizon
are building. You also can’t talk and surf at the same time with
Verizon 3G phones.
Also, Apple has been launching a new iPhone model every
summer, and presumably an iPhone 5 is coming. But Verizon
may have to wait until next January to get it, giving AT&T a
head start. That’s because Verizon may be on the same one-year
upgrade cycle that AT&T has been on.
Most importantly, cell phone companies do their best to
tie subscribers up with contracts. AT&T executives last year
stressed to investors that most of their iPhone users are on fam-
ily and employer plans — more difficult for an individual to
switch from.
“The consensus is that AT&T is reasonably well-prepared for
Verizon’s iPhone onslaught ... for now,” said Sanford Bernstein
analyst Craig Moffett.
Anti-meth law makes drug underworld worse
By JIM SALTER
Associated Press
ST. LOUIS — Electronic systems that track sales of the cold
medicine used to make methamphetamine have failed to curb
the drug trade and instead created a vast, highly lucrative market
for profiteers to buy over-the-counter pills and sell them to meth
producers at a huge markup.
An Associated Press review of federal data shows that the lure
of such easy money has drawn thousands of new people into the
methamphetamine underworld over the last few years.
“It’s almost like a sub-criminal culture,” said Gary Boggs, an
agent at the Drug Enforcement Administration. “You’ll see them
with a GPS unit set up in a van with a list of every single phar-
macy or retail outlet. They’ll spend the entire week going store to
store and buy to the limit.”
Inside their vehicles, the so-called “pill brokers” punch out
blister packs into a bucket and even clip coupons, Boggs said.
At the height of the meth epidemic, several states turned
the electronic systems, which allowed pharmacies to check
instantly whether a buyer had already purchased the legal limit of
pseudoephedrine — a step that was supposed to make it harder
to obtain raw ingredients for meth. But it has not worked as
intended.
In some cases, the pill buyers are not interested in meth. They
may be homeless people recruited off the street or even college
kids seeking weekend beer money, authorities say.
Because of booming demand created in large part by the track-
ing systems, they can buy a box of pills for $7 to $8 and sell it
for $40 or $50.
The tracking systems “invite more people into the criminal
activity because the black market price of the product becomes so
much more profitable,” said Jason Grellner, a detective in hard-
hit Franklin County, Mo., about 40 miles west of St. Louis.

LOS ANGELES — For nearly three hours, the doctor charged
in Michael Jackson’s death told police about his final hours with
the superstar who was so desperate for sleep that he was getting
anesthetic injections in his bedroom six nights a week.
Dr. Conrad Murray’s interview two days after Jackson’s
death in June 2009 led police back to the singer’s mansion,
where they ultimately found 12 vials of propofol. It was a small
fraction of the 255 vials a Las Vegas pharmacist said he shipped
Murray in the nearly three months before Jackson’s death.
The interview also provided detectives with a roadmap of the
drugs ultimately found throughout Jackson’s system, including
the anesthetic propofol and the sedatives lorazepam and mida-
zolam.
On Monday, the homicide detective who interviewed Murray
described the doctor’s retelling of his efforts to get Jackson to
fall asleep and to revive him when he stopped breathing.
Detective Orlando Martinez was the 20th witness prosecutors
called during Murray’s preliminary hearing, which will end with
a judge ruling whether there is enough evidence for the doctor
to stand trial on an involuntary manslaughter charge. Although
prosecutors have not indicated when they will conclude their
case, most major witnesses have already testified.
The Houston-based cardiologist has pleaded not guilty and
his attorneys have said he didn’t give Jackson anything that
should have killed him.
From what Murray told Martinez, he did everything he could
the morning of June 25 to get the pop superstar to sleep.
He rubbed the singer’s feet and put skin lotion on his back.
He gave him doses of sedatives and when they didn’t work,
turned down the music in his bedroom and told Jackson to
meditate.
But Jackson was still awake.
According to Murray, the singer was growing frustrated,
repeatedly telling the doctor that he would have to cancel the
planned series of 50 comeback concerts in London because he
couldn’t sleep. He wanted his “milk,” which the detective said
Murray told him was how Jackson referred to propofol.
At 10:40 a.m. — nearly 10 hours after returning to his
mansion after a rehearsal a prosecutor described as “fabulous”
— Murray told police he gave Jackson a 25 milligram dose of
propofol. It was half his usual dose.
Murray said he watched the singer for a few minutes, then
made a long walk to a bathroom.
When he returned, Jackson wasn’t breathing. Murray told the
detective he was “stunned.”
He immediately tried to start saving Jackson, but told
Martinez he didn’t call 911 himself. “He said he was caring for
his patient and he did not want to neglect him,” Martinez testi-
fied.
Paramedics would not be called until 12:21 p.m., and Murray
was making calls for much of the 11 o’clock hour, phone records
presented during the five-day hearing show.
Neither prosecutors nor Murray’s defense attorney on
Monday addressed the apparent discrepancies in the police
version of the doctor’s interview and other evidence. They also
did not say whether most of the propofol that Murray ordered
was used, although the doctor told Martinez he had been giving
Jackson 50 milligrams of propofol six nights a week for roughly
two months.
number of meth busts nationwide has started climbing again.
Some experts say the black market for cold pills contributed to
that spike. Other factors are at play, too, such as meth trafficking
by Mexican cartels and new methods for making small amounts
of meth.
The AP reviewed DEA data spanning nearly a decade, from
2000 to 2009, and conducted interviews with a wide array of
police and government officials.
Meth-related activity is on the rise again nationally, up 34 per-
cent in 2009, the year with the most recent figures. That number
includes arrests, seizures of the drug and the discovery of aban-
doned meth-production sites.
The increase was higher in the three states that have electroni-
cally tracked sales of medication containing pseudoephedrine
since at least 2008. Meth incidents rose a combined 67 percent in
those states — 34 percent in Arkansas, 65 percent in Kentucky
and 164 percent in Oklahoma.
Supporters of tracking say the numbers have spiked because
the system makes it easier for police to find people who partici-
pate in meth production. But others question whether the tracking
has helped make the problem worse by creating a new class of
criminals that police must pursue.
In the past, the process of “cooking” meth was often a one-
person operation, with producers buying as many cold pills as
they needed.
Now, with laws that strictly limit purchases and record buyers’
names, meth producers recruit friends, acquaintances, strangers
and even their own children to buy pills.
The process, known as “smurfing,” is not entirely new, but it
has come into wider practice over the last two to three years as
states have sought to limit the availability of pseudoephedrine.
Grellner recalled one case where a woman took her 17-year-
old daughter out smurfing. When police caught up to them, the
mother forced the girl to hide the pills in her vagina. She nearly
bled to death in the county jail.
lawsuits and settlements. But what’s hurting the company most
is an aging lineup of boring cars.
Over the past decade, Toyota and its U.S. dealers had it
easy. Cutting edge design wasn’t required because the cars
sold themselves on reputation. Everyone knew Toyotas held
their value, were safe and got drivers from point A to point B
with little drama. Then came the recalls, which called all of
that into question.
Ending the year on a low note, Camry sales fell 10 percent
in December from a year earlier. Corolla sales plunged 35
percent. Unless things turn around quickly, Camry is in danger
of losing its 10-year crown as the nation’s top-selling car this
year to the Honda Accord.
Ho hum cars are “probably the worst problem for them,”
says Jessica Caldwell, director of pricing and industry analysis
for Edmunds.com. “They always had their (safety) reputation
to fall back on, but now that’s not the case.”
CEO Akio Toyoda acknowledges that Toyota is at a design
crossroads. He has told dealers several times that he’s work-
ing to improve Toyota’s exterior styling, pushing designers
to come up with something more exciting. The company is
“intent on making Toyota cars better looking,” he told report-
ers Monday during his first-ever visit to the North American
International Auto Show in Detroit.
After becoming the world’s largest automaker in 2007,
Toyota reversed course and resumed giving executives in
Japan the final say on design decisions for the U.S. market.
Some question whether that change left Toyota at a disadvan-
tage as Hyundai, Ford and General Motors moved quicker to
tailor new designs specifically for U.S. car buyers.
Mike Jackson, CEO of Autonation, the country’s largest car
dealer network, says that in the past, sedans sold based primar-
ily on their quality, reliability and resale values. Automakers
believed “the styling should be conservative enough to not put
people off,” he said. “I don’t think that’s the future. Now you
have to differentiate yourself.”
