The first hand was found as dozens of officers and homicide investigators combed the brush along a winding trail in the Hollywood Hills. A coroners cadaver dog came upon it about 50 yards from where the head was discovered on Tuesday afternoon, the Los Angeles Times reported. The second hand and both feet were found nearby later Wednesday afternoon. No details were immediately available on the condition of the body parts. The remains were believed to belong to the same man, but police were working to confirm that through testing. The man may have been killed elsewhere in recent

Protest exposes Silicon Valley-Hollywood rivalry

RYAN NAKASHIMA The Associated Press LOS ANGELES In a move that heightens the growing tension between Silicon Valley and Hollywood, Wikipedia and other web sites went dark Wednesday in protest of two congressional proposals intended to thwart the online piracy of copyrighted movies and TV programs. The web-based encyclopedia is part of a loose coalition of dot-coms and large technology companies that fear Congress is prepared to side with Hollywood and enact extreme measures possibly including the blocking of entire web sites to stop the online sharing and unauthorized use of Hollywood productions. The fight will test which California-based industry has the most sway in Washington. For now, Silicon Valley appears to have the upper hand. Supporters of the legislation called the Stop Online Piracy Act in the House and the Protect Intellectual Property Act in the Senate say the bills are aimed at protecting jobs in the movie and music industries. But a campaign including tech heavyweights such as Google Inc. and Yahoo Inc. has successfully portrayed the bills as an attack on a free and open Internet. It has nothing to do with stolen songs or movies, said Justin Ruben, executive director of MoveOn.org, which is participating in the blackout. Ruben says tougher legislation even directed overseas could make domestic cultural commentators more prone to legal attack. Rather than showing encyclopedia articles, Wikipedia displayed a blacked-out page describing the protest and offering more information on the bills. Many articles were still viewable on cached pages. Reddit.com shut down its social news service for 12 hours. Other sites made their views clear without cutting off services. Google blacked out the logo on its home page, directing people to a page where they could add their names to a petition. The one-day outage was timed to coincide with key House and Senate committee hearings as they prepare to send the bills to

Tales emerge of missing and dead in ship disaster

By NICOLE WINFIELD and COLLEEN BARRY The Associated Press ROME An Italian dad and his 5-year-old daughter. A retired American couple treating themselves after putting four children through college. A Hungarian musician who helped crying children into lifejackets, then disappeared while trying to retrieve his beloved violin from his cabin. As details emerged Wednesday about the missing and the dead in the grounding of the Costa Concordia, the captain was quoted as saying he tripped and fell into the water from the listing vessel and never intended to aban-

the full floor for debate. However, sponsor Rep. Lamar Smith, a Texas Republican, sought last week to remove a controversial provision from the House bill that could force Internet service providers to interfere with the way Web addresses work for foreign sites deemed dedicated to piracy. He postponed work on the measure until February. Critics believe such tinkering with core Internet technology treads into dangerous territory that could lead to online censorship. It might also give hackers a new way to wreak havoc. The White House raised concerns that the bills could stifle innovation. Over the weekend, the Obama administration reacted to two online petitions, saying it will not support legislation that reduces freedom of expression, increases cybersecurity risk or undermines the dynamic, innovative global Internet. At the same time, the administration called on all sides to pass sound legislation this year that provides prosecutors and rights holders new legal tools to combat online piracy originating beyond U.S. borders. That nuanced stance is President Barack Obamas attempt at threading the needle between two important constituencies as he seeks re-election in November, said Jeffrey Silva, a technology policy analyst at Medley Global Advisors in Washington. On the one hand, his administration has defended a free, open Internet as it watched repressive regimes fall in the Middle East with help from social media such as Twitter. It has also been a proponent of the concept of net neutrality, which prevents Internet service providers from slowing online traffic that comes from file-sharing sites known to trade in pirated content. On the other hand, Obama and other Democrats have gone to Hollywood dozens of times to raise campaign funds over the years. The administration is trying to fight to protect the Internet space, Silva said. But at the same time, it doesnt want to disenfranchise Hollywood and the business community.

The search for the 21 people still unaccounted for in the disaster ground to a halt after the cruise liner shifted again on its rocky perch off the Tuscan island of Giglio, making it too dangerous for divers to continue. Rough seas were forecast for the next few days. The bad weather also postponed the start of the weekslong operation to extract the half-million gallons of fuel on board the vessel, as Italys environment minister warned Parliament of the ecological implications if the ship sinks.

For The Record

Twitter hashtag and adorning T-shirts. Eleven people have been confirmed dead so far, and 21 are missing. Italian officials have only released 27 names so far, including two Americans, 12 Germans, six Italians, four French, and one person each from Hungary, India and Peru. The missing include retirees Jerry and Barbara Heil of White Bear Lake, Minn. Sarah Heil, their daughter, told WBBM radio in Chicago that her parents had been looking forward to the 16-day cruise after raising four kids and sending them all off to college. They never had any money, she said. So when they retired, they went traveling. And this was to be a big deal a 16-day trip. They were really excited about it. Schettino was questioned by a judge for three hours Tuesday, then ordered held under house arrest rather than jailed a decision that federal prosecutors plan to challenge. The judge, in her reasoning released Wednesday, said Schettino didnt represent a flight risk since he had stayed near the ship even after abandoning it, the ANSA news agency reported. Schettinos lawyer, Bruno Leporatti, told reporters house arrest made sense. He never left the scene, the lawyer said. There has never been a danger of flight. Leporatti added that Schettino was upset by the accident, contrary to depictions in the Italian media that he did not appear to show regret. He is a deeply shaken man, not only for the loss of his ship, which for a captain is a grave thing, but above all for what happened and the loss of human life, Leporatti said. Criminal charges including manslaughter and abandoning ship are expected to be filed by prosecutors shortly. Schettino faces a possible 12 years in prison on the abandoning ship charge alone.

than 4,200 passengers and crew when it slammed into a reef and capsized Friday after the captain made an unauthorized diversion from his programmed route and strayed into the perilous waters. Capt. Francesco Schettino, who was jailed after he left the ship before everyone was safely evacuated, was placed under house arrest Tuesday, facing possible charges of manslaughter, causing a shipwreck and abandoning his ship. The ships operator, Crociere Costa SpA, has accused Schettino of causing the wreck by making the unapproved detour, and the captain has acknowledged carrying out what he called a tourist navigation that brought the ship closer to Giglio. Costa has said such a navigational fly by was done last Aug. 9-10, after being approved by the company and Giglio port authorities. However, Lloyds List Intelligence, a leading maritime publication, said Wednesday its tracking of the ships August route showed it actually took the Concordia slightly closer to Giglio than the course that caused Fridays disaster. New audio of Schettinos communications with the coast guard during the crisis emerged Wednesday, with the captain claiming he ended up in a life raft after he tripped and fell into the water. I did not abandon a ship with 100 people on board, the ship suddenly listed and we were thrown into the water, Schettino said, according to a transcript published Wednesday in the Corriere della Sera paper. Initial audio of Schettinos conversations made headlines on Tuesday, showing an increasingly exasperated coast guard officer ordering Schettino back on board to direct the evacuation, and the captain resisting, saying it was too dark and the ship was tipping. The officers order, Get back on board, (expletive!) has entered the Italian lexicon, becoming a

STATE/LOCAL

E - The Environmental Magazine Dear EarthTalk: Are there healthy, greenfriendly mouthwashes? Ive heard that some contain formaldehyde and other nasty substances. Marina Sandberg, Albany, NY Many mainstream mouthwashes contain ingredients that you definitely dont want to swallow, or even put down the drain. According to the Environmental Health Association of Nova Scotias (EHANSs) Guide to Less Toxic Productsa free online resource designed to help consumers choose healthier, greener everyday productsconventional mouthwash is often alcohol-based, with an alcohol content ranging from 18-26 percent. Products with alcohol can contribute to cancers of the mouth, tongue and throat when used regularly, the guide reports, adding that a 2009 review in the Dental Journal of Australia confirmed the link between alcohol-based mouthwashes and an increased risk of oral cancers. And you might want to avoid mouthwashes with fluoride (aka sodium fluoride). While fluoride may help fight cavities, ingesting too much of it has been linked to neurological problems and could be a cancer trigger as well. Common mouthwash sweeteners have also been linked to health problems: Saccharin is a suspected carcinogen while sucralose may trigger migraines. Synthetic colors can also be troublesome. Some brands contain formaldehyde (aka quanternium-15). According to the National Cancer Institute, overexposure to formaldehyde can cause a burning sensation in the eyes, nose and throat as well as coughing, wheezing, nausea and skin irritation. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency considers formaldehyde a probable human carcinogen and research has shown an association between long term workplace exposure and several specific cancers, including leukemia. Few of us are exposed to as much formaldehyde as, say, morticians, but does that mean its okay to swish it around in our mouths every day? Other problematic ingredients in many con-

Kasich moves State of State speech to school

By JULIE CARR SMYTH The Associated Press COLUMBUS Ohio Gov. John Kasich will make a little state history when he gives his second State of the State address Feb. 7 at an elementary school in blue-collar Steubenville, an apt backdrop for the themes of education, energy and the economy that he believes critical to the states comeback. Kasich, a first-term Republican, is the first governor in modern memory to take the years big policy speech outside the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus. The location will give him a chance to highlight award-winning Wells Academy, named the best school in the state, and to tout the benefits of the regions burgeoning shale gas industry. We are hopeful to shine the light on that part of the state, which has been neglected, and its our hope that it will be an economic engine for Ohio in the years to come, Kasich spokesman Rob Nichols said Wednesday. For the speech in Steubenville, about 130 miles east of Columbus, the traditional joint legislative session will be convened. The means lawmakers, Supreme Court justices, Cabinet officials and statewide officeholders will have to make the roughly three-hour car ride. Wells, founded in 1989, shares a building with Steubenville High School. Its been recognized as the best school in Ohio, with 100 percent of its students testing proficient in reading and math during the 20102011 school year. The results were helped by creative uses of technology and distance learning, and came despite socioeconomic hurdles faced by its 319 pupils, Kasich said in his announcement on plans for the speech. After scrapping his predecessors evidence based model for school funding, one of Ohios repeated attempts to wean schools off an unconstitutional reliance on property taxes, Kasich is exploring new, more-cost efficient ways to help Ohio students achieve. Tailoring education offerings to available jobs, including those in Ohios developing oil and gas drilling industry, is one tack. For example, some community colleges have begun offering shortterm skills training and longer term degree programs in the natural gas field. Education has been a

focal point of our job creation strategy, and it will remain an emphasis to the very end, Nichols said. Kasichs speech also is expected to shed light on an oil-and-gas package his administration has been working on, including upfront impact fees on drillers that would help local communities offset the costs of infrastructure damage from drilling. Drilling has been a hot issue in the state, particularly in northeast Ohio, where a deep injection well in the Youngstown area not far from Steubenville was shut down pending further study on the link between the well and a series of 11 earthquakes in 2011. Senate President Tom Niehaus, a fellow Republican, said he doesnt know yet exactly how the fee might work. Clearly, we have to find a way to compensate local governments for the wear and tear and the extra expense thats going to come with extensive drilling, he told reporters Wednesday. We welcome the opportunity. Frankly, theyre good problems to have because it means theres a lot of business activity, people are getting jobs.

Many mainstream mouthwashes contain ingredients that you wouldnt want to swallow or rinse down the drain. Fortunately, there are many natural alternatives available now, including recipes for making your own. ventional mouthwashes include sodium lauryl sulfate, polysorbate, cetylpyridinium chloride and benzalkonium chloride, all which have been shown to be toxic to organisms in the aquatic environments where these chemicals end up after we spit them out. So whats a concerned green consumer to do? EHANS recommends the following mouthwashes that do not contain alcohol, fluoride, artificial colors or sweeteners: Anarres Natural Candy Cane Mouthwash, Auromere Ayurvedic Mouthwash, Beauty with a Cause Mouthwash, Jason Natural Cosmetics Tea Tree Oil Mouthwash, Dr. Katz TheraBreath Oral Rinses, Hakeem Herbal Mouthwash, and Miessence Freshening Mouthwash. Besides these brands, the Environmental Working Groups Skin Deep Cosmetic Database also lists Toms of Maine Natural Baking Soda Mouthwash, HealingScents Mouthwash, and Neals Yard Remedies Lavender and Myrrh Mouthwash as least harmful to people and the environment. You can also make your own all-natural mouthwash at home. Eco-friendly consumer advice columnist Annie Berthold Bond recommends mixing warm water, baking soda or sea salt, and a drop of peppermint and/or tea tree oil for a refreshing and bacteria-excising rinse. Another recipe involves combining distilled or mineral water with a few dashes of fresh mint and rosemary leaves and some anise seeds; mix well and swish! A quick Internet search will yield many other down-home natural mouthwash formulas.

Obama rejects CanadaTexas oil pipeline for now

By MATTHEW DALY Associated Press WASHINGTON Raising the stakes on a bitter election-year fight with Republicans, President Barack Obama on Wednesday rejected a Canadian companys plan to build a U.S.-spanning, 1,700-mile pipeline to carry oil across six U.S. states to Texas refineries. Though the project promises thousands of temporary jobs for the recovering U.S. economy, Obama said a February deadline set by Congress would not allow for a proper review of potential harm from the $7 billion Keystone XL project. As the State Department made clear last month, the rushed and arbitrary deadline insisted on by congressional Republicans prevented a full assessment of the pipelines impact, especially the health and safety of the American people, as well as our environment, Obama said. The plan proposed by Calgary-based TransCanada would carry oil from tar sands in western Canada to Texas, passing through Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma. Republicans assailed Obamas decision as a jobkiller and said the fight wasnt over. And the State Department said the decision was made without prejudice, meaning TransCanada can submit a new application once a route through environmentally sensitive areas of Nebraska is established. Russ Girling, TransCanadas president and chief executive officer, said the company plans to do exactly that. If approved, the pipeline could begin operation as soon as 2014, Girling said. Republicans were not assuaged. Newt Gingrich, campaigning for the GOP presidential nomination in South Carolina, called Obamas decision stunningly stupid, adding: What Obama has done is kill jobs, weaken American security and drive Canada into the arms of China out of just sheer stupidity. Alex Pourbaix, TransCanada Corp.s president for energy and oil pipelines, said last week the company soon will have a new route through Nebraska that everyone agrees on. The pipeline proposal has forced the White House to make a politically risky choice between two important Democratic constituencies.

DEAR EDITOR: Regarding the accusations Ms. Maag has leveled at Elida football coach Jason Carpenter and superintendent Don Diglia: The Allen County prosecutors office has cleared both Mr. Diglia and Mr. Carpenter. Ms. Maags son, Brandon, helped rob a pizza delivery employee and was sentenced to Allen County JDC. Elida school policy said the players could not play football. Case closed. Mom and friend brought up things at two Elida School Board meetings that had been decided previously and whined about how her son was persecuted. Instead of blaming her son, she blames the superintendent and the coach for her sons troubles. Maybe if mom would have disciplined her son, he wouldnt have thought it would be fun to rob someone. Why doesnt mom accept the punishment her son got and the results of the investigation by the prosecutors office? No moral compass by either mom, her friend or her son. I know that if I had robbed a pizza delivery employee when I was his age, my parents would have taken me to the Delphos Police station, let me be sentenced in juvenile court and imprisoned in the JDC. There would have been further punishment awaiting me at home when I was released from the JDC. My parents wouldnt have blamed everyone else I would have had to accept the blame myself and take my medicine. Get over it, Ms. Maag. Why dont you, your friend and your son look in the mirror as the source of your problems? Michael Wrasman, Delphos

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

White House: Health care insurance reform is on track

One Year Ago The Delphos Area Art Guild conducted the first of several free art sessions Tuesday with Dr. Ralph Stuckman of Celina. The retired professor is working with community members to create a permanent exhibit featuring ceramic pieces of local interest. 25 Years Ago 1987 Matt Heft, son of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Heft of Lima, won the Gomer Elementary spelling bee. He will now compete in the Allen County championship Jan. 31 at Spencerville Middle School. A fifth grader at Gomer, Matt defeated 15 other contestants in the finals. He correctly spelled the word gymnastics to win the event. It all came down to a jump shot with two seconds left. The ball arched up. It hung on the rim for a second. Then it rolled off. With it went Jeffersons hopes as they lost a hard-fought 64-63 decision to the Lincolnview Lancers Friday night. The Wildcats were led by Bruce Mox with 12 points. Damon Ulm, Jeff Hartsock and Jason Huysman hit five field goals each. Ryan McClure added four field goals, but will most remember the one he missed as time was running out. Winners of door prizes at H&R Block open house at 114 N. Main St. were first place, Brian Calvelage; second place, Joan Lenkevich; and third place, Arthur W. Miller. Each received a $20 gift certificate for a tax return and a floral arrangements. The gifts were presented by JoAn Smith, H&R Block franchise owner. 50 Years Ago 1962 The Breakfast Optimist Club of Delphos will sponsor an oratorical contest open to all boys who had not reached their 16th birthday by Dec. 31, 1961, according to Robert T. McDonald of the local organization. The local Optimists are sponsoring the contest in conjunction with Optimist International. Robert H. Christy, superintendent of Delphos City Schools, was the guest speaker at the meeting of the Delphos Restaurant at NuMaudes Restaurant Wednesday. Christy showed slides of a trip through the West and of a fishing trip to Missanbie, Ontario, Canada. Guests present were Bruce Fails of Van Wert, Curtiss Hager of Spencerville and Murray Cohen of Delphos. Eighty-five members of the local Equity Womens Auxiliary attended the meeting and pot-luck supper held Wednesday evening in the Knights of Columbus club rooms on Elida Avenue. This was the first pot-luck supper held by the members and plans were made to make it an annual event. Officers are Mrs. Jerome Pohlman, president; Mrs. Richard Renner, vice president; Mrs. Emmet Bockey, secretary and Mrs. Steve Dickman, treasurer. 75 Years Ago 1937 The Gramm Rifle Team defeated the K. of P. Rifle and Pistol Club at the K. of P. range Monday night by the score of 835 to 822. Buchanan of the Gramm team, was high man for the evening with a total of 183. Lloyd Meyers of the K. of P. team, was second with 176. Points were given for shooting prone, kneeling and off hand. Frank Kurber has resigned his position as salesman with the Ohio Power Company in Delphos and is planning to open an electrical appliance store of his own. He has rented the south room in the Phelan Hotel block, formerly occupied by the post office, and will open the store in about two weeks. Kurber plans to carry a complete line of electrical appliances, including stoves. C. E. Quidort, of the Honolulu Conservatory of Music in the Old National Bank building, will present his Hawaiian guitar pupils in recital on Friday night in the Jefferson High School auditorium. Students who will participate are from Delphos, Spencerville and Fort Jennings. A play in three acts entitled The Million Dollar Joke, will be presented at Fort Jennings most probably during the early part of February. The following students comprise the cast: Eleanor Wittler, Ruth Kohls, Susan Plasic, Ruth Shroyer, Margaret Helmkamp, James McNamara, James Dickman, Joseph Mack, Paul Baumgarte and John Hohenbrink.

IT WAS NEWS THEN

WASHINGTON (AP) President Barack Obamas health care overhaul is on track in many states, the White House asserted Wednesday. But officials said the administration is preparing a federal backstop anyway for states in which opposition to the new law has blocked planning. The law calls for states to build new health insurance markets called exchanges, so that millions of middleclass people who are currently uninsured can buy taxpayersubsidized private coverage. It also expands eligibility for Medicaid so low-income adults who have no dependent children can get government insurance. Putting the two approaches together, more than 30 million Americans are expected to gain coverage starting in 2014. But 26 states are asking the Supreme Court to overturn the health care law, and many of those have made little progress in planning their exchanges, even though the deadline clock is ticking. The law says state plans must be approved by Jan. 1, 2013 a year in advance of the programs launch or the federal government will step in and run things. No matter where you live, on Jan. 1, 2014, an exchange will be up and running, deputy chief of staff Nancy-Ann DeParle said on the White House blog. An accompanying progress report said 28 states and Washington, D.C., are on their way toward establish exchanges, widely considered the operational linchpin of the health care law. With a presidential election and Supreme Court decision on the fate the health care law coming first this year, 2014 seems like a long way off even if Obamas signature domestic accomplishment is upheld. But to federal and state officials planning for exchanges, time is short. A totally new marketplace must be created, along with systems for verifying and safeguarding confidential personal information used to determine eligibility. Exchanges will offer consumers the same kinds of health insurance choices that members of Congress now have, DeParle said. But the White House report put a rosy outlook on the progress in some states. For example, Idaho was among the states highlighted as advancing. Republican Gov. Butch Otter originally supported a state-run exchange, and his administration received a $20 million federal grant to start work. But the legislature has to approve the actual spending of the money, and Republican foes of the federal overhaul are trying to block the state from moving ahead. Faced with a standoff, Otter now says he is leaving it in the hands of the legislature. It seems that the White House is desperate to show progress and is selectively searching for any evidence that states are taking action, said Mike Schrimpf, spokesman for the Republican Governors Association. Many of the states that have started action are doing so primarily as a defensive maneuver to keep the federal government from having even greater control over their health care markets.

What if the Internet went down?

By SETH BORENSTEIN AP Science Writer WASHINGTON If a day without Wikipedia was a bother, think bigger. In this plugged-in world, we would barely be able to cope if the entire Internet went down in a city, state or country for a day or a week. Sure, wed survive. People have done it. Countries have, as Egypt did last year during the anti-government protests. And most of civilization went along until the 1990s without the Internet. But now were so intertwined socially, financially and industrially that suddenly going back to the 1980s would hit the world as hard as a natural disaster, experts say. No email, Twitter or Facebook. No buying online. No stock trades. No just-intime industrial shipping. No real-time tracking of diseases. Its gotten so that not just the entire Internet but individual websites such as Google are considered critical infrastructure, experts said. Nobody would die, but there would be a major hassle, said computer security expert Mikko Hypponen, chief research officer at F-Secure in Helsinki, Finland. If an Internet outage lasted more than a day or two, the financial hit would be huge, with mass unemployment, said Ken Mayland, a former chief By JESSE J. HOLLAND Associated Press bank economist and president of ClearView Economics. Eugene Spafford, director of Purdue Universitys Center for Education and Research in Information Assurance and Security, worries about bank runs and general panic. Psychologically, too, it could be wrenching. I think its easier to get off heroin, said Lisa Welter of New York City, who weaned herself for a month last year from just the social aspects of the Internet she still paid bills online and felt as if she was living in a cave. There would be a sense of loss: What would I do with my time? said Kimberly Young, a psychologist who directs the Center for Internet Addiction and Recovery. On Wednesday, certain websites, most prominently Wikipedia, went dark to protest legislation in Congress that would crack down on pirated movies and TV shows. It was a one-day stunt. But it raises questions about our connectedness. It is possible that hackers, terrorists, accidents or even sunspots could take down the Internet and cause areas to become cut off and unreachable, said Spafford, one of the foremost experts on computer security. The U.S. and other developed nations have multiple and robust routing systems that make it unlikely large areas would be affected,

Many labor unions back the project because of the prospects of new jobs in a fragile economy. Environmental groups fear the pipeline could lead to an oil spill disaster. Obama said his decision was not based on the pipelines merits but on what he called an arbitrary Feb. 21 deadline set by Republicans in Congress. GOP lawmakers set the deadline as part of a tax bill that Obama signed into law just before Christmas. Im disappointed that Republicans in Congress forced this decision, but it does not change my administrations commitment to American-made energy that creates jobs and reduces our dependence on oil, Obama said. Bill McKibben, an environmental activist who led opposition to the pipeline, praised Obamas decision to stand up to what he called a naked political threat from Big Oil. Jack Gerard, the oil industrys top lobbyist, had said last week that Obama faced huge political consequences if he rejected the pipeline. Its not only the right thing, its a very brave thing to do, McKibben said. Thats the Barack Obama I think people thought they were electing back in 2008.

GOP rhetoric raising racial concerns

WASHINGTON Hoping to win the hearts of Southern conservatives, Newt Gingrich leaned into his argument that President Barack Obama is a food stamp president and that poor people should want paychecks, not handouts a pitch that earned him a standing ovation in South Carolina during a presidential debate on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. I believe every American of every background has been endowed by their creator with the right to pursue happiness, and if that make liberals unhappy, Im going to continue to find ways to help poor people learn how to get a job, learn how to get a better job and learn someday to own the job, Gingrich said. A day later, he turned the moment complete with the cheering conservative crowd into a TV ad as he works to claw his way to the top of the leader board in the closing days of the South Carolina campaign. Rhetoric like that from Gingrich and other candidates is stoking concerns among some blacks that the political discourse is rewinding to the days of Southern strategy campaigning that uses blacks as scapegoats to attract white votes. Yet, its unclear whether this strategy if thats what it is will work on an electorate now accustomed to seeing African Americans in high-ranking positions. I see it as a retreat to the sort of bread-and-butter rallying of those who we might call racist, said Charles P. Henry, chair of African American Studies at the University of California, Berkeley. I see it as a desperate strategy to draw in those voters and South Carolina would be a better testing ground because of its sizable black population. Gingrichs standing ovation came Monday during an exchange with debate panelist Juan Williams, who sought to revisit Gingrichs assertions in New Hampshire that he would go before the NAACP and talk about why the African-American community should demand paychecks and not be satisfied with food stamps. Cant you see this is viewed, at a minimum, as insulting to all Americans, but as particularly to black Americans? Williams said.

but smaller countries could be vulnerable to nationwide outages, Hypponen said. The world only has to look back one year to Egypt to see what a sudden unplugging could spawn. The government of Hosni Mubarak tried to stop protests in January 2011 by switching off the Internet. The shutdown halted businesses, banking operations and at the height of the demonstrations the ability of the protest leaders to organize and communicate with one another. During the five days that the Internet was out, antiMubarak activists had to rely on help from abroad to spread their news and update Web pages. The outage harmed protesters ability to organize or to counter government propaganda that portrayed them as agents of foreign powers, said Ahmed Saleh, who was in charge of managing the Facebook page that was credited with mobilizing thousands of Egyptians to take to the streets. With the shutdown, the protests swelled as people unable to follow minute-byminute what was going on took to the streets. No Internet meant that more people went down and realized that this was for real. The protests grew, and so did the anger against the government domestically and internationally, Saleh said. No, I dont see that, Gingrich replied. Williams said his email and Twitter accounts were inundated with people of all races who are asking if your comments are not intended to belittle the poor and racial minorities. Williams wasnt the only one wondering. Last week, when Gingrich faced a crowd at a black church in South Carolina, one woman said his words came across so negatively, like were not doing everything for our young people. The NAACP, the Urban League and others condemned Gingrich for dredging up racial stereotypes, and pointed to 2010 Census data showing that, nationally, 49 percent of food stamp recipients were non-Hispanic whites, 26 percent were black and 20 percent were Hispanic. Gingrich is not alone in using what some blacks interpret to be racial rhetoric or imagery. Rick Santorum, in a discussion about Medicaid in Iowa, said: I dont want to make black peoples lives better by giving them somebody elses money. Santorum later denied that his remarks were aimed at blacks.

The Holy Road by Michael Blake theres just not much to say about this book. And I mean that in all possible ways. I found it neither good nor bad; not too moving and not tooanything. Maybe I was expecting more? This is Blakes sequel to Dancing With Wolves, the book/movie that weve all heard of and probably know a little bit about. While Im not necessarily a fan of this sort of topic I mean, I like history, Id just rather not read about people getting their skull pounded in as a result of an Indian massacre I do like to read about it now then to keep myself balanced. A girl cannot live on Victorian literature alone. I guess the biggest reason I dont read a lot in this genre is because I dont feel I can relate to it. I can always find

some aspect of every book I can relate to; thats what gets me through sometimes but I dont immediately relate to any scenarios or basic principles in this book on a visceral level. I still found it interesting, though I cant say it really held my interest, either. In this book, 11 years have passed since Lieutenant John Dunbar became Dances With Wolves and married Stands With A Fist, a white-born woman raised as a Comanche from birth. With their three children, they live in the village of Ten Bears. But there is tension in the air, caused by reports of confrontations with white soldiers who want to drive the Comanches onto reservations. This sets the stage for the plot, and in my opinion, theres nothing from here to write home about. Its interesting to read about aspects of the tribe

their traditions and the ways they live and survive. I liked how each character has a distinct name based upon his or her personality, much different than the ways we name our babies. It also really makes you think about what a greedy, brutal, selfish, duplicitous people we are and have been, as we get to read how the white man appears to the other side. Blake tells of the conflicts among the Indians regarding whether to fight the white man or to make peace. This novel focuses less on Dances with Wolves and more on the confusion of the Indians, who cannot understand the white mans greed. If you enjoy reading about brutality, then pick this up. Im not saying things like this arent an important part of our history and shouldnt be read and appreciated, by any means. Its just not the kind of thing I instinctively reach for when Im looking to unwind. If youd like to know what happens after Dances With Wolves and if that was something you really enjoyed, I would suggest this. Otherwise, I recommend Follow the River in this genre.

BLUFFTON The Bluffton University Lady Beavers earned their third straight Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference victory on Wednesday, taking down the Manchester College Spartans 54-50 in Founders Hall. The Spartans came into the game sitting at the top of the HCAC standings after a 39-36 victory over previously-unbeaten Franklin College on Saturday but they fell to 11-5 on the season and 7-2 in the HCAC. The Beavers improved to 5-11 overall and 3-6 in the conference. Neither team held a lead greater than four points during of the first half. Blufftons first advantage came when Kylee Burkholder (West Unity/Hiltop) found Brittany Stegmaier (Garfield/Trinity) wide open for a 3, giving the Beavers a 7-4 edge five minutes into the game. Mikayla Coburn (McGuffey/Upper Scioto Valley) hit a layup with 8:47 remaining, putting the Beavers up 15-11. Manchester regained the lead with 5:31 remaining in the half, but Bluffton knotted it up once again at 21 when Coburn hit Lauren Hutton (New Reigel) for a layup with 1:16 left in the half. A pair of Spartan free throws gave the visitors a two-point edge (23-21) as the first period ended. Hutton tied the score at 23-23 less than two minutes into the second half with two free throws. She gave the Beavers the lead one minute later when Stegmaier found her under the basket for an easy layin. After Manchester drew even with two free throws, senior Alicia Amis (Woodstock/Mechanicsburg) hit a three-pointer to give the Beavers a 28-25 lead with 16:41 remaining in the game. Fellow senior Brittany Lewis (Springfield/Shawnee) gave the home team its largest lead of the game with a triple, pushing the Beavers ahead by six, 35-29, at the 13:57 mark. The Spartans were able to climb back into the game, outscoring the home team 13-4 over the next nine minutes for a 42-39 lead with 5:00 left in the game. The Beavers tied the game once again when senior Rachel Daman (Defiance/Tinora) found Stegmaier for an open trey, knotting the score at 44-44 with 3:55 remaining. Bluffton finally took the lead for good as Hutton converted a hoop-and-harm which put the Beavers up 51-48. They sealed the victory with three makes at the charity stripe in the final 21 seconds. Hutton ended the night as the games leading scorer, falling just shy of a doubledouble with her 19-point, 9-rebound performance. She shot 7-of-15 from the field and was a perfect 5-for-5 from the line. Stegmaier also hit for double figures with 14 points. The senior pulled down six rebounds, handed out three dimes and blocked a careerhigh three shots. Alexandra Starkey led the Spartans with 14 points, shooting 5-of-13 from the field. The Beavers shot 18-of-50 (36 percent) from the field, including 5-of-17 (29.4 percent) from behind the arc. The Spartans hit 16-of-52 (30.8 percent) from the field, missing their only 3-point attempt on the night. Bluffton shot an impressive 13-of-15 (86.7 percent) from the foul line while Manchester finished 18-for22 (81.8 percent) from the stripe. The Beavers committed three more turnovers (2017) than the Spartans while being outrebounded 36-34 on the night. The Beavers will take the court again this Saturday (Alumni Day) when they go for their fourth straight conference victory against RoseHulman. The game is scheduled for 1 p.m. in Founders Hall.

---Manchester hits game winner with seven ticks left for 59-58 victory

NORTH MANCHESTER, Ind. - Manchesters Jason Spindler dropped in a jumper with seven seconds remaining to send the Bluffton University mens basketball team home with a heart-breaking 59-58 loss on Wednesday. Bluffton slipped back under .500 in the conference (106, 4-5 Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference), while Manchester improved to 6-10 and 4-5 in the HCAC. The Beavers started off the game on the right foot by grabbing an early 3-2 lead two minutes in on a trey by senior Nick Lee (Mt. Blanchard/ Vanlue). A jumper by Dustin Kinn (Alvada/New Riegel) extended the lead to five (116) with 14:19 left in the half. The Spartans battled back to take a 17-14 lead on Brice Lantzs make from behind the arc. However, the momentum shifted back to the Beavers favor during a 10-0 run led by senior Mychal Hill (London/ Jonathan Alder). He drained back-to-back triples during the jag to put the visitors ahead 28-21 with just over five minutes to go in the first period. But the pendulum continued to swing as the game shifted back Manchesters way. The home team answered the Bluffton rally with 16-2 run of their own to finish out the first half. The Beavers were plagued by four turnovers and two blocked shots during the Spartans spurt that sent Bluffton into the locker room facing a 37-30 deficit. Bluffton came out of the break and slowly chopped away at Manchesters advantage. After six minutes of play, Lee converted an oldfashioned 3-point play to pull the team within two at 44-42. Two hits from the charity stripe by senior Brent Farley (Lima/Shawnee) trimmed the Spartans lead to 53-52 with 6:51 to play. The Beavers emptied the tank for one last run with Lee and Hill knocking down consecutive shots from distance for a 58-53 Bluffton lead with 4:35 on the clock. However, the teams gas gauge hit empty as the Spartans scored the final six points of the game, including the game-winning jumper by Spindler with seven seconds left for the 59-58 victory. Bluffton had one final chance but a Hill jumper was deflected at the buzzer. Lee led the team with 14 points and five boards while shooting 3-of-7 from behind the arc. Hill also scored in double digits with 11 markers while contributing three rebounds and three assists. Brent Farley set a career-high with six blocks to go along with four points and eight boards. Manchesters Jason Spindler was the games leading scorer with 16 while also racking up eight caroms on the glass. Bluffton converted just 21-of-56 (37.5 percent) from the field, while Manchester went 24-of-52 (46.2 percent). The battle on the glass was nearly even with Bluffton edging out Manchester (34-33), while the Spartans committed one less turnover (10-9). Bluffton will look to get back on track this Saturday when the Beavers welcome Rose-Hulman to Founders Hall. The contest is slated for 3 p.m.

NFL playoff games everything you wanted

The National Football League playoffs were more than interesting last weekend. Especially the Green Bay Packers again laying an egg against the New York Football Giants, I admit, I picked the Packers they were my Super Bowl favorites but I also admit I didnt anticipate them being so rusty after two weeks off, especially Aaron Rodgers and some of the receivers. In all honesty and in my most humble but extraordinarily right!!! opinion, sometimes pro coaches make things more difficult then they already are. I thought it was a mistake that Rodgers and many of the starters sat completely against Detroit in the last regular-season game, especially knowing they were getting a bye week. Yeah, they had nothing to play for but they should have anticipated that two weeks off might cause some problems, especially knowing that the Giants might be their first opponent. Even though they won that game against the Lions, it was pretty clear from the outset of Sundays matchup that they had lost their exquisite timing and edge and had no chance against a team playing its best. It wasnt just Rodgers, either; the receivers when he did get the ball to them on target were dropping balls that they normally dont. You could see someone like Greg Jennings not being completely back due to injury but there was no excuse for the others. Not that the Giants arent a capable team but did anyone anticipate that the Green Bay offense would be so lackluster? We knew the GB defense was going to give up yards and points that was very disappointing all year because we all thought that with all the injured parties back from last year, this defense would be a strong unit but the offense was not able to make up for it this time. I think that Mike McCarthy and

DELPHOS Instead of traveling to Coldwater Tuesday night, St. Johns hosted a tri-match with Elida and Wayne Trace Wednesday night at Robert A. Arnzen Gymnasium. All three teams came away with a victory in three close matches. In the first match, Wayne Trace took down St. Johns 40-32. Elida matched up with the Raiders in the second match, winning 45-36. In the final matchup of the night, the Blue Jays picked up a victory with a 39-37 win over the Bulldogs. The Blue Jays had two wrestlers that pinned their opponents both matches. Senior Logan Looser took down Tyler Arnett from Wayne Trace and also pinned Alex Dukehart from Elida. Senior Logan Heiing also had two pins in the trimatch. He first took down his opponent, Aaron Harris from Wayne Trace, and then battled Nickoli Sackinger from Elida to pick up six points for the Blue Jays. It was a matter of how we all paired up tonight and I think we matched up better with Elida and having some voids in there also helped, St. Johns coach Derek Sterling said. I thought Nathan Schroeder did a good job tonight and Jackson Donley getting an unexpected win for us.

St. Johns 160-pound senior Logan Looser had two pins in Wednesday nights home tri-match pins, including this one of Wayne Traces Tyler Arnett. The visiting Raiders beat the Jays, who beat Elida, who defeated Wayne Trace.

any other coach in that situation in the future wont be making that mistake again. The Houston Oilers, er, Texans showed me a lot last week against the Ravens. With all their injuries, with a third-team rookie quarterback and a defense that had lost some of their top playmakers, being at Baltimore where they just dont lose, plus what should of been a very motivated and focused quarterback in Joe Flacco, they should have had NO chance of keeping it close. But they had a chance to win that game at the end. Bodes well for the future of course you know that this statement means they will fall completely apart next fall! One idea for Mr. Flacco speak softly next time. You sat there all week leading up to it and talked about being disrespected, especially by the media, even joking that if the Ravens won, youd have nothing to do with it. Fair enough. You do have a point somewhat. However, the way you played overall, you really have nothing to complain about. You had the chance to prove something and you proved otherwise. Even your own teammate, Ed Reed,

observed you were a bit bothered by the Texans defense. The New Orleans at San Francisco game didnt go according to script, did it? I sure as heck didnt figure that the 49ers could win a shootout particularly against New Orleans and perhaps if the Saints hadnt turned the ball over so much, they would not have. Such is the game even at the highest levels; you cannot beat yourself, even in professional football. The Gunslinger Drew Brees made one too many mistakes but that is how he has become so good. He trusts his arm and receivers. Kind of reminds you of that pretty decent quarterback that the Packers used to have, eh? That confidence sometimes got Mr. Favre in trouble but he kept slinging it. Finally, it was no real surprise that the Tim Tebow/Denver Broncos run came to a crashing halt. The Patriots hammered them the first time and with a very, VERY motivated Tom Brady at the controls I think he was tired of the Tebow talk they didnt stand a chance. Still, it was a great story. As for my picks to win the conference title games, you will have to see my Pigskin Picks prognostications in Saturdays paper. Meantime, I will be very interested this off-season to see if Tebow will pick the brain of one John Elway on how to get better. I would! Reminder: when writing to me via e-mail, I have an e on the end of my name.

Baghdatis smashes 4 rackets in 1-minute meltdown

By CAROLINE CHEESE The Associated Press MELBOURNE, Australia Serena Williams was impressed. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga was surprised. Novak Djokovic just couldnt wait to join the hundreds of thousands of people to have viewed online footage of Marcos Baghdatis spectacular bout of racket rage. Baghdatis lost a last-night match Wednesday at the Australian Open but he was still the talk of Melbourne Park a day later. Down two sets and a break, Baghdatis sat in his chair at the changeover and whacked his racket on the court seven times until it was almost unrecognizable. That wasnt so unusual. But after Baghdatis calmly gave the mangled racket to a ballboy, he plucked a new one out of his bag and cracked that as well. The next two, he didnt even bother taking out of the plastic wrapping before smashing them into the court. In all, the fiery Cypriot broke four rackets during a meltdown that lasted less than a minute and earned him a $1,250 fine or just over $300 per racket. Ive never done that. Thats impressive. Wow, Williams said today. I actually used to break a lot of rackets on the court. I sometimes break them in practice, just not in a match anymore. His frustration released, Baghdatis recovered to win the third set but lost the match 7-6 (3), 6-4, 5-7, 6-1 to Stanislas Wawrinka. Nearly 24 hours later, YouTube footage of the racket smashing episode had been viewed more than 350,000 times and it was still rising. Djokovic hadnt yet had a chance to see the footage before his match but the mention of racket smashing had him reminiscing about the games most famous exponents. I think (Goran) Ivanisevic and (Marat) Safin are right up there, the No. 1-ranked Serb recalled. Loved watching them. Baghdatis, who could have been fined up to $2,000 for his outburst, joined a list of players who have also been penalized for breaking their rackets at the tournament, including John Isner, Alexandr Dolgopolov and Denis Istomin. Donald Young, Juan Carlos Ferrero and Gilles Simon have been given $1,500 fines for audible obscenities. Tsonga, like most players who were asked about it today, sympathized with Baghdatis need to vent his frustrations but the Frenchman was still taken aback by the scale of the tantrum. Baghdatis wasnt alone in losing his cool on Wednesday. After losing the fourth set of his marathon match against Isner, David Nalbandian threw his racket into a wall at Margaret Court Arena and was lucky it didnt rebound and hit a nearby linesperson. A ballboy picked up the racket and gave it back, only for the unhappy Argentine to fling it into the crowd. That wasnt the end of it, either. Nalbandian also angrily smashed his racket after netting a volley on match point. At the press conference, he criticized chair umpire Kader Nouni, who refused his request for a video challenge at break point at 8-8 in the fifth set because he said Nalbandian waited too long to ask. Nalbandian and Baghdatis still have some way to go before they can match Safin and Ivanisevic for racket-smashing prowess. Ivanisevic had to default from a tournament in England in 2000 when he mangled three rackets and then realized he had none left. Safin, the 2005 Australian Open champion, once estimated he had destroyed about 700 rackets in his 12-year career. He recently won a seat in Russias lower house of Parliament. Roddick out with leg injury: Andy Roddicks bid to win another Grand Slam singles title nearly a decade after his first hit a roadblock today when a hamstring injury forced him out of the Australian Open. The former No. 1, whose lone major singles win came at the 2003 U.S. Open, was trailing Lleyton Hewitt 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 when he called the trainer to his courtside chair. He then walked over to Hewitt and shook the Australian players hand. Roddick had fallen to the court in the second set but played despite being in obvious pain from the leg injury. Trailing 2-0 in the second set, Roddick moved suddenly to his right to retrieve a Hewitt forehand and seemed to overstretch his right leg, rolling over on his right ankle. Hewitt won that point and the next two for a 3-0 lead, then Roddick took a medical timeout. Hewitt said the injury was a nightmare for both of us. Roddick looked lethargic in the second and third sets, rarely chasing down shots and walking slowly between points with his head hanging down. He threw his racket into the wall at one point and argued with the chair umpire after a video replay showed that one of Hewitts shots originally called out actually hit the line. The 30-year-old Hewitt, who has won two major titles and was a finalist here in 2005, will play 21-yearold Milos Raonic of Canada in the third round. Djokovic, who won three of the four majors last year, advanced earlier today, overcoming an early service break against Santiago Giraldo in a 6-3, 6-2, 6-1 victory at Melbourne Park. A title in Melbourne would put him in select company. Only four

DEFIANCE Defiance College overcame a 5-point deficit in the final two minutes and escaped with a 66-65 win against Earlham on Wednesday night as Logan Wolfrums lastsecond triple found the net and gave the Jackets their fifth win in their last seven showings. Wolfrum set up the lastsecond heroics with a steal and layup with 1:02 left that narrowed the gap to 65-63. The Jackets then got a defensive rebound from Brandon Ray with 22 ticks to go before Wolfrums long-distance dagger gave the junior guard his second game-winning bucket in the final second during DCs last four victories. Wolfrum ended the game

with 18 points and six rebounds, while Drew Frizell turned in another strong effort off the bench with 14 points on 4-of-7 shooting from 3-point territory. Kyle Tietje led all players with 10 boards to go with seven points and two steals. The Jackets shot 55.2 percent from the floor in the second half to overcome 16 turnovers and a 25-9 deficit in points off of miscues to the Quakers. DC also dodged an uncharacteristic 8-of-18 showing from the charity stripe by shooting the same rate from long distance. Defiance tried to put the game out of reach early, using a 14-6 start to the game before a shooting slump resulted in an extended 23-8 rally from the

Quakers and a 29-22 deficit for the Purple and Gold with 2:18 remaining in the opening stanza. DC bounced back with the final four points of the period and erased the 29-26 halftime deficit by storming to a 39-35 lead in the opening minutes after the break. The lead would eventually swell to seven on a Frizell trey with 7:39 left in the game. The Quakers (0-16, 0-9 HCAC) would not go away, however, scoring 17 points over the next five minutes on 6-of-7 shooting and using four 4-point shots during that span to bolt to a 64-59 edge with 1:59 to go. EC could not hold on for its first-ever HCAC win, however,

as DC rode Wolfrum down the stretch to hand the Quakers their 27th loss in as many HCAC games and their 32nd-straight setback on the hardwood. Defiance (7-9, 3-6 HCAC) moved to within a game of fifth place in the HCAC standings and will look to continue the climb when it hosts Hanover (11-4, 7-2 HCAC) on Saturday at 3 p.m.

AGRIBUSINESS

players Laver, Pete Sampras, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal have won three straight Grand Slam singles tournaments and Djokovic could join them following his wins at last years Wimbledon and U.S. Open. Second-seeded Nadal and third-seeded Federer, who are in the other half of the draw here, play back-to-back matches at Rod Laver Arena on Friday. Earlier, 5-time Australian champion Serena Williams notched her 500th career singles victory when she beat Barbora Zahlavova Strycova 6-0, 6-4 to advance to the third round. The left ankle she badly sprained two weeks ago wasnt an issue. However, near the end of the match, she tweak her other ankle and fell to the court. Williams won the Australian Open in 2009 and 2010 but didnt defend her title in 2011 because she was injured. Her older sister, Venus, has a win-loss record of 589-147 but is sitting out the Australian Open because of an autoimmune disease that can cause fatigue and joint pain.

Dear Sara: How do you store your baking pans and cookie sheets? -- Karen, Texas Dear Karen: I have a double wall oven with a deep drawer underneath it. I place some in there and I keep others in the lower oven that I dont use daily. If you dont have a deep drawer, you can use a tension rod as a divider. Place it frontto-back in the cabinet, and tuck baking pans between the rod and the wall of the cabinet. Or place them vertically (2 per divided section) and slide baking sheets (on their sides) in between each set of tension rods. There are 4-sort dividers available at places such as The Container Store, too. Dear Sara: I have an old king-size comforter from my smoking days that I have washed many times but I can still smell cigarette smoke on it. Ive even aired it outside on occasion, to no avail. The main reason I still have it is in case someone stays over. Should I just toss it, since I cant seem to get the smell completely out? -- Shoiji, New Jersey Dear Shoiji: If the only reason you keep it is for guests, then let it go. You could keep

it in the trunk of your car for emergencies or donate it. Comforters go on sale often, so you wont have a hard time replacing it. Smoke smells are very tough to get rid of. At home, you can try a white vinegar and hot water soak before a regular washing. If you really are attached to it, you can have a professional dry cleaner remove the odor with an ozone treatment. Dear Sara: Do you have a good cardamom substitute? -Marsha S., Wyoming Dear Marsha: There isnt really a great substitute for it. You can find it cheaper at ethnic stores than at specialty stores. Be sure you know whether you need green, white or black cardamom, too. Green and white are typically used in baked goods, and black is typically used for savory dishes. Some people substitute equal parts ground nutmeg and cinnamon or equal parts ground cloves and cinnamon or nutmeg or cinnamon, but in some recipes, Id either not make it at all until I bought cardamom or omit the cardamom, rather than trying to make substitutes that will impact the overall taste.

Frugal Living
Dear Sara: Id like to wash my plastic shower curtain liner without putting it in the washing machine. Any suggestions? -- Tina, Ohio Dear Tina: You can put it in the tub and hand-scrub and rinse it. You can use a bit of laundry detergent, vinegar and baking soda or a weak bleach and water solution. It works out nicely because your tub gets cleaned at the same time.

The Herald 9

Tomorrows Horoscope
FRIDAY, JANUARY 20, 2012 Numerous opportunities to further your education and gain new knowledge will be available to you in the year ahead. Make sure you take advantage of each and every one of them, because youll find all kinds of ways to utilize what you learn. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Because youll be as much of a pragmatist as a visionary, your hopes and aspirations will be easily realized. This combination always brings gangbusters results. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Even if it takes two or three tries, major achievements will be possible for you. However, be prepared to circumvent some obstacles that might block your path. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Dealings you have with a large organization, such as a company or the government, will work out better than you think. Be patient and let the big dogs set the pace. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- This is an unusual day, when even a bum deal can be renegotiated and work out quite well for you. Dont be afraid to ask for the terms you want, but then be patient and let events establish how things play out. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -You enjoy being your own person and doing your own thing, but you dont mind being a team player either, which is fortunate because at this point youll fare better as part of a group. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- It looks like youll be given a second chance to capitalize on an opportunity that you previously turned down. Armed with new knowledge, youll want to be on board. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Treat whatever transpires like a game. This doesnt imply that you should not be serious when its called for. Its merely a means for not letting anything overwhelm you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Conditions in general look pretty good for you. However, your best opportunities are likely to be in areas where you can either make or save money. Capitalize on it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Dont allow people challenging your ideas or opinions to irritate you. Use any dispute as a means to better explain your position and to showcase your points more effectively. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Financial currents are running in your favor, making you luckier than usual with all money matters. Use this to further feather your nest instead of depending on what the wind brings in. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You can substantially enhance your probabilities for success by dealing solely with the person who calls the shots. Jump over subordinates and drive right to the hoop. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Initially, you might feel imposed upon when asked to do something for another, but once the dust settles youll discover that youre the one who ends up benefiting the most.
