The Executive Committee of the MCCOA Board of Trustees at its meeting Monday voted to shut down the program because Federal funding cuts to blame for program demise of a funding deficit. Beth Shaver, executive director, said the decision to “relinquish” the RSVP program was due to the uncertainty of future funding at the federal level. “Unfortunately, the program received a substantial cut in 2011 and could face more in the future,” Shaver said in a letter she addressed to friends of the program. “It was a difficult decision to let the program go. RSVP programming has been a part of the agency since 1973 and will be missed, along with the staff who served in the program,” she wrote. She added that her hope is that volunteers will continue to share their skills and talents at the many volunteer sites around the county. In her letter Shaver extended thanks to the volunteers and site personnel for being a part of the program along with an invitation to attend a celebration of the accomplishments and successes of the Meigs RSVP program at 3 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 24, at the Senior Center. She also announced that the gathering will serve as a time to show appreciation to Diana Coates, who has been director of the program for more than 17 years, and Debbie Jones, the coordinator, to mark their final day of employment with the agency. The two signature programs administered through RSVP are Seniors in Schools and Yesteryear. The Seniors in Schools program was geared to elementary students and consisted of volunteers going into the classrooms to teach about the history of Meigs County. Yesteryear was a program which has been held for 25 years and involved fifth grade students from across the county. Students were transported by bus to the Yesteryear site where volunteers taught the skills of earlier generations, like quilting, embroidery work, leather craft, candle making, and food preparation. Thirty sites in the county which include schools, non-profit organizations, and health agencies have been receiving services through the program which beginning next week will be without leadership due to the reduction of a funding cut which took place last fall and the proposal for another cut scheduled to take place in March.

ODOT staff made the recommendations during a presentation to the Transportation Review Advisory Council (TRAC), a bi-partisan group responsible for approving funding for the state’s largest transportation projects. “Unfortunately, this is Ohio’s new reality. For far too long, previous ad- ministrations have added more and more to the list of TRAC projects knowing that there were more projects than funds available,” said ODOT Director and TRAC Chairman Jerry Wray. “Their poor planning has put us in the position of making the tough decisions and delivering the bad news to many communities throughout the state that there simply is not enough money to fund their projects.” The TRAC is wrapping up a year-long process of receiving and reviewing applications for transportation funding projects throughout the state. The TRAC received 72 applications in 2011 for new transportation projects totaling nearly $10 billion. Planning, design and construction of various phases of additional projects totaling $2 billion is already under way. However, ODOT only has roughly $100 million per year to spend on new construction. ODOT is funded completely with state and federal motor fuel tax and has seen that revenue shrink over the past several years. As vehicles become more fuel efficient and fuel consumption decreases, so does the amount of revenue generated to pay for Ohio’s infrastructure and create jobs. “We know transportation is the lifeblood of Ohio’s economy and we cannot sit back and do nothing about this dire situation,” said Wray. “We are going to be looking at new and innova- tive ways to reduce costs and generate additional transportation funding.” The TRAC now faces the daunting task of rejecting a portion of the applications for new funding, while ODOT must consider innovative or alternative funding sources to pay for the state’s growing infrastructure. The nine-member Transportation Review Advisory Council was established by the Ohio Revised Code in 1997 and provides guidance for developing a project selection process for ODOT’s largest investments of more than $12 million.

(AP) — Andrew Luck’s uncle will serve as the agent for the former Stanford quarterback and two-time Heisman Trophy runner-up. The Wasserman Media Group announced Tuesday that Luck is the first and only NFL-bound player to sign with the agency. The company hired Luck’s uncle, Will Wilson, as executive vice president of football to represent the quarterback. Luck is expected to be the top pick in April’s NFL draft after leading Stanford to consecutive BCS bowl games and shattering almost every major school passing record. The Indianapolis Colts hold the No. 1 pick. Wilson spent the past four years as an executive for Major League Soccer and Soccer United Marketing. He also served in executive roles with the Arena Football League, Champ Car World Series and for 13 years with NFL International, including stops as managing director of NFL Mexico and general manager of the Scottish Claymores of NFL Europe. “We are pleased to join forces with Will to maximize Andrew’s potential in the sport of football,” said Mike Watts, chief operations officer of Wasserman Media Group. “Will’s more than 20 years of global sports business experience with some of the most successful leagues will also further our business strategies as we continue to expand internationally.” Luck declined comment through his father, Oliver, the West Virginia athletic director and former NFL quarterback, in a text message to The Associated Press on Tuesday. Wilson also will work with Wasserman’s soccer division and its management team on international business development. “Wasserman Media Group has an industry reputation second to none and a tremendous wealth of experience in athlete representation,” Wilson said in a statement. “And as the agency’s first, and only NFL player, Andrew will be receiving an outstanding service as he launches his career. I am also excited to help grow the agency’s global business offerings.” Lee’s 29 lifts Warriors over Cavs CLEVELAND (AP) — Monta Ellis’ jersey was splattered with blood and his nose was cut and swollen. Golden State’s second straight road win wasn’t painless. David Lee scored a season-high 29 points 13 in the fourth quarter and Nate Robinson added 17 points, leading the Warriors to a 105-95 win Tuesday night over the road-worn Cleveland Cavaliers. Lee scored seven straight points midway through the final period to help the Warriors pull away from the Cavs, who looked spent after playing seven straight road games and committed a season-high 25 turnovers. After losing their first four road games, the Warriors, who got only 10 points from a cold-shooting Eliis, have won two straight away from home for the first time since 2010 an encouraging sign for first-year coach Mark Jackson. “That’s what good teams do,” Jackson said. “Despite the adversity, find a way to get it done. Our guys did exactly that. When you compete and defend, you’ll win your share of games in this league.” Ellis was only 2 of 12 from the floor, but Lee and the other Warriors picked up the scoring slack. Ellis got bloodied in the final minute by Cleveland’s Anderson Varejao, who accidentally nailed Golden State’s leading scorer in the face with an elbow. “He’s an absolute gamer,” Jackson said. “He didn’t have a great night offensively, but still battled. He put his face in there, no pun intended, to make a play. That’s what winners do.” Ellis was checked by Cleveland’s team doctors. He said his nose wasn’t broken. “It wasn’t my night,” Ellis said. “It was David Lee’s night. We needed someone to step up. He can do that every night.” Antawn Jamison scored 19 and rookie Kyrie Irving had 18 for Cleveland, which has only played four home games. The Cavaliers were sloppy at both ends of the floor, showing fatigue after being on the road for two weeks. “It was just carelessness,” said Irving, who had eight rebounds and five assists but six turnovers. “But we’re going to continue to get better. After a record-setting season at Stanford, Luck is taking a break from football at the moment. He is on schedule to earn his degree in architectural design from Stanford in the spring and he will enter the draft as the most soughafter prospect since Peyton Manning in 1998. Fittingly, Luck seems headed to Indianapolis. He won the Maxwell Award as the college football player of the year and the Walter Camp Football Foundation Player of the Year. Despite so many pro scouts salivating over his potential, a threeturnover performance in a home loss to Oregon likely cost Luck the Heisman for the second straight season. He finished as runner-up to Baylor’s Robert Griffin III this season and to Auburn’s Cam Newton a year earlier. While Griffin took home the bronze statue, Luck should take home the big bucks. Luck leaves Stanford as the school’s leader in touchdown passes (82), completion percentage (.670), passing efficiency (162.8) and total offense (10,411) among other marks despite playing only three seasons. A year after rolling past Virginia Tech 40-12 in the Orange Bowl, Luck didn’t quite have the finish he had hoped. Stanford lost 41-38 in overtime to Oklahoma State in the Fiesta Bowl. Stanford was ranked seventh in the final AP poll. Turnovers happened at the wrong times. It was turnover, turnover, turnover.” Robinson added 10 assists, Andris Biedrins had 11 rebounds and Brandon Rush and rookie Klay Thompson added 14 points apiece for the Warriors. Thompson made all four 3-pointers and Golden State connected on nine 3s. Golden State trailed 87-85 early in the fourth when Lee went to work. The 6-foot-9 forward scored on a pair of layups, dropped a free throw and then drilled a short jumper from the wing to put Golden State ahead 92-87 with 5:54 left. “Coach kept calling my number,” Lee said. “I wanted to be aggressive.

(AP) — The Baltimore Ravens’ defense intends to spend much of Sunday afternoon harassing New England quarterback Tom Brady and burying him in the pocket. Until that time, the game plan evidently is to smother him with praise. Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs got into a shouting match with Brady in 2009 after the quarterback appeared to be demanding a penalty flag for a late hit. More recently, Suggs suggested that Brady’s two Super Bowl wins were “questionable” and that he continues to receive preferential treatment from officials. Suggs abandoned the grudge Wednesday. “There is no beef,” he insisted. “I guess the genesis of that, it was the incident in ‘09 where I almost hit him below the waist. I’ve gotten over it. There’s where it all started, but you grow and mature. As you all can clearly see, I am not the same guy I was back in ‘09. I am definitely 20 pounds lighter, too.” He’s smart enough to know a war of words isn’t necessary just four days before the AFC title game. So this is what Suggs decided to say about Brady this time around: “When it’s all said and done, they are going to speak about three quarterbacks: Johnny (Unitas), Peyton (Manning) and him.” Baltimore linebacker Ray Lewis narrowed the field, saying, “You’re talking about arguably one of the two best quarterbacks of all time.” The Ravens have plenty of reasons to respect Brady. The cold facts are that he threw six touchdown passes last week in a 45-10 rout of Denver and is 4-1 lifetime against Baltimore the lone loss coming in the 2008 playoffs. Nothing is more important for the Ravens on Sunday than stopping Brady. The first step in getting that done is to make sure he has very little time to throw in the pocket. “You have to pressure Brady,” linebacker Jarret Johnson said. “If you let him stand there, he is going to kill you.” Ravens coach John Harbaugh couldn’t find anything bad to say about the Patriots’ star. “He may be one of the elite quarterbacks ever to play the game,” Harbaugh said. “He’s big, he’s accurate, he throws the ball hard and throws a catchable ball at the same time. He moves around fairly well in the pocket, all those things.” In four regular-season games against Baltimore, Brady has helped the Patriots generate 24, 27, 27 and 23 points. “We’ve got our hands full this week,” Lewis said. “You watched what they did last week against Denver. Just the way they came out and ran their offense how efficient he was, how many different receivers he hit with the ball. I think that offense, period, is playing at a very high level.” Let the compliments fly. �Thursday, January 19, 2012 The Daily Sentinel • Page 2 www.mydailysentinel.com NATO: Taliban chief has Son’s friend steals lost control of insurgents from mom’s purse KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Dozens of civilians, NATO coalition troops and Afghan security forces were killed and wounded Wednesday when a suicide attacker blew himself up in a bazaar, according to the top commander of international troops in Afghanistan, who alleged that the Taliban’s leader had “lost all control” of his footsoldiers. U.S. Gen. John Allen condemned the attack in Kajaki district of Helmand province and said it was evidence that the insurgents had “declared outright war” on the Afghan people. While the Taliban work to intimidate civilians and kill anyone aligned with the Afghan government, the U.S.-led coalition emphasizes that civilians deaths should weaken the Taliban’s appeal. Daud Ahmadi, a provincial spokesman, said a suicide bomber on a motorcycle killed 12 Afghans, including two policeman, and wounded at least 23 other people. A statement released late Wednesday by NATO headquarters in Kabul said the explosion killed and injured dozens of Afghan civilians, Afghan national security forces and coalition troops. The statement did not disclose further details about how many foreign troops had been killed or wounded. “With today’s horrendous attack at the Kajaki Sofla Bazaar, insurgents have once again destroyed the lives of dozens of innocent Afghan civilians,” Allen said in the statement. “These attacks against the people of Afghanistan have no effect on the progress we are together making here with our Afghan partners and will only further isolate the Taliban from the process of peace negotiation.” Taliban leader Mohammad Mullah Omar “has lost all control over Taliban insurgents, otherwise he would immediately denounce these attacks and order his forces to stop attacking innocent Afghan civilians,” Allen said. More than a year ago, Omar, the Taliban’s one-eyed, reclusive leader, did urge his fighters to try to avoid killing innocent civilians. “Pay attention to the life and property of civilians so that ... your jihad activities will not become a cause for destruction of property and loss of life of people,” Omar said in a message emailed to the media in November 2010. Suicide bombings and roadside bombs, however, have continued to kill ordinary citizens along with NATO and Afghan forces. Taliban insurgents have assassinated hundreds of Afghan government officials and supporters in recent years, seeking to sap public confidence in President Hamid Karzai’s administration. Farther south in Helmand province, an Afghan intelligence official in Nad Ali district and two of this bodyguards were killed Wednesday in an explosion, Ahmadi said. A remote-controlled bomb was detonated as the intelligence official, Wali Mohammad Khan, walked out of his house. He was the third local government official to be assassinated this week in southern Afghanistan, the birthplace of the Taliban insurgency. On Tuesday in neighboring Kandahar province, a member of the Dand district council was assassinated while praying in a mosque in Kandahar city, and a member of the district council in Panjwayi was killed by gunmen on a motorbike. Separately, NATO is investigating reports that five civilians, including one woman and two children, were accidentally killed during a night raid earlier this week in northeastern Afghanistan. Sayed Fazelullah Wahidi, governor of Kunar province, said coalition helicopters fired into a compound Monday night in Chawkay district, killing two militants and the five civilians. Coalition troops and Afghan special forces have been carrying out regular nighttime kill-and-capture raids against suspected insurgents across Afghanistan. But the operations and allegations of civilian deaths have provoked anger over foreign meddling in Afghanistan. Karzai has demanded an end to the raids, saying that Afghan citizens cannot feel secure if they think armed soldiers might burst into their houses in the middle of the night. Dear Dr. Brothers: I had a little boy from first grade over to play with my son, and they were having such a good time. I was in the kitchen and went into the family room, where they were playing. My son had gone to the bathroom, and I caught the little 6-year-old friend with his hand in my purse. He had taken a fivedollar bill, and he quickly put it back when he saw me coming. I didn’t say anything, but now I wish I had. Should I share this with his mother? — N.D. Dear N.D.: I believe that since you didn’t confront the thief immediately, you missed a good opportunity to correct his behavior. Some parents are very reluctant to do any kind of disciplining of children who visit their home, for fear of overstepping their boundaries. But in a case like this, you are not doing the child or his family any favors by just ignoring his behavior. I’m sure he knows it is wrong to steal, and since he is just developing self-control and an ability to distinguish between what may be OK at home and what is appropriate behavior away from home, he needs to be told when he clearly has made a mistake in judgment. Having a word with his mother now would be a good idea. Perhaps he is allowed to dip into her purse at will, and you can tell her that you wanted to inform her so she can review with him the way he should behave when visiting friends. You needn’t come down too harshly on him in this con- versation — I’m sure she will be embarrassed enough by his behavior to appreciate your lack of judgment. It would be easier to just let it go, but I’m sure you’d appreciate knowing if your child did something similar. It’s a good time to talk to your son about play-date behavior as well. And in the meantime, please put your purse away somewhere when kids come over. That way, they will avoid temptation, and you won’t be faced again with a dilemma like this. *** Dear Dr. Brothers: My teenage daughter seems to have become a different person during the past six months or so. She has always had an independent streak and never had a problem standing up for herself, but she has become so argumentative that I don’t really know what to do. I am sure she treats us worse than she treats her friends, but I often hear her debating back and forth with them on the phone as well. Is this just a harmless phase, and is there anything we can do to make it go away? — G.F.

Jan. 16 Dr. Joyce Brothers Dear G.F.: Probably not — at least not by waving a magic wand and having your daughter turn into a different person. What she is going through is one of the most common stages of adolescence, and it’s very hard on parents. They suddenly discover that where they used to have their children’s respect and could do no wrong, they are now stupid and useless and even just plain old, to hear their kids tell it. The key is to try not to take it personally, but don’t allow them to get away with cruel, abusive language either. Let them know it’s fine to be argumentative if they must, but that they need to respect you and allow you to present your own point of view. Some interesting research done at UCLA and reported in the journal Child Development recently found that teen arguments at home often carry over to school and vice-versa, and that the home arguments can even have an effect on relationships at school up to two days later. Girls seem to experience more peer conflict than boys after a blow-up at home. So be aware, when you interact with your daughter, that an unpleasant outcome to the discussion can have far-reaching ramifications at school, and do all you can to encourage her swift passage through this stage. But if she’s really into it, point her in the direction of the school debate team!

Study: Many women can skip frequent bone scans ATLANTA (AP) — New research could mean millions of older women can skip frequent screening tests for osteoporosis: If an initial bone scan shows no big problems, many can safely wait 15 years to have another one, the study suggests. Government advisers and leading doctor groups urge osteoporosis screening, but no one has known how often that should happen. The findings offer the best information to date on that question, experts said. “This is landmark, in the sense that it could allow us to move on to more precise guidelines,” said Dr. Heidi Nelson, a researcher at the Oregon Health & Science University who is an expert on the topic. At issues are bone mineral density tests, which usually are done through X-rays and cost around $250. It takes about 10 minutes and involves less radiation than what’s emitted during a chest Xray. Medicare pays for testing every two years. The new study feeds concerns that the tests are done too often, at least for some women. “It’s an expenditure of time, it’s exposure to radiation, and it’s cost. And there’s no reason to expose yourself to any risks if there’s going to be no benefit,” explained Dr. Virginia Moyer, who heads the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, a government panel that issues testing guidelines. The test measures how thick bones are in certain spots, usually focusing on the hip and lower spine. Doctors use it to gain early warning of osteoporosis, a bone-thinning disease that can be staved off with better diet and exercise and treated with bone- building drugs. Nearly half of all women older than 50 will break a bone because of osteoporosis, according to the National Osteoporosis Foundation. The government task force recommends that all women over 65 get a scan. The panel also recommends testing for younger postmenopausal women who seem at higher risk for fractures. But the task force has not said how often follow-up tests should be done, just that a couple years between tests are needed. There are no immediate plans to update the task force’s advice for osteoporosis screenings, but the new study will be an important consideration when the panel acts again, Moyer said. The new, government-funded research involves nearly 5,000 women aged 67 years and older in a national health study that began in the 1980s. None had osteoporosis at the outset. The researchers looked at how the women did on bone density tests, and watched for who got osteoporosis and when. They were followed for 15 years. Based on that, the researchers concluded that women with a healthy initial test could wait as long as 15 years before getting a second screening. But women deemed at moderate risk should get tested about every five years. And women at high risk should get tested more often, perhaps even annually. The research, published in Thursday’s New England Journal of Medicine, was led by Dr. Margaret Gourlay of the University of North Carolina. She worries that her findings might be misinterpreted and cause some women to wait longer than they should for their next test. She cited earlier research suggesting not enough women get the recommended initial scan. The 15-year interval applies only to postmenopausal women judged to be at low risk for osteoporosis from the first screening, she noted, and perhaps fewer than half of U.S. women over 65 fall into that category. But she said even for those women, other risk factors have to be considered: smoking, slim build, prior broken bones and taking medication that has an eroding effect on bones. She also noted that osteoporosis becomes a greater risk in the oldest patients, so a woman with a moderate risk who is 85 or older might be better off getting tested every three years instead of every five. NASA spaceport breaks Second hand found in LA park ground for shuttle display where human head found CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA’s retired space shuttle Atlantis is a step closer to completing its final journey. The Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex broke ground Wednesday for Atlantis’ permanent home, a $100 million exhibit due to open in summer 2013. Schoolchildren waved red, white and blue Atlantis flags — 33 flags representing each of Atlantis’ space missions — as state and local dignitaries joined former shuttle staff at the construction site. The astronaut who commanded Atlantis’ final spaceflight, Christopher Ferguson, told the more than 100 guests that Atlantis will serve as “a reminder of the limitless poten- tial” of Americans and also inspire children, some of whom will become future space travelers. Ferguson, who now works for Boeing on new space vehicles, made note of the effort to preserve the past while working toward the future: “I’d like you all to stay tuned as we turn to the next chapter of the journey that will never end.” Shuttle Discovery will actually be the first to ship out to museums. In April, it will head to the National Air and Space Museum’s display hangar outside Washington. Shuttle Endeavour will travel to the California Science Center in Los Angeles in the second half of the year. NASA’s 30-year shuttle program ended last July with the voyage of Atlantis. Since then, workers have been getting them ready for display by draining hazardous fuel, disconnecting or removing some systems and replacing the main engines with replicas. Delaware North Parks & Resorts, which runs the Kennedy visitor complex for NASA, used an industrial-size digger to unveil a huge picture of the planned exhibit hall. The six-story structure will feature two curved “wings” in orange and gold colors, representing the intense heat of reentry. Atlantis will be displayed as if flying in orbit, with the cargo bay doors open and the robot arm extended. LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles investigators found two human hands Wednesday in the Hollywood wilderness park where a severed head in a plastic bag was discovered by dog walkers, and the search continued for other body parts. The hand was discovered in Bronson Canyon as dozens of police officers, including homicide investigators, combed the brush along a winding trail a few miles below the Hollywood sign. A coroner’s cadaver dog found the first hand about 50 yards from where the head was discovered on Tuesday afternoon, the Los Angeles Times reported. Details weren’t immediately available on where the second hand was found later Tuesday afternoon, or what condition it was in. The remains are believed to have come from the same man, but police are still working to confirm that through testing. Wild animals in the park may have some other body parts, police Cmdr. Andrew Smith said. The head of a man in his 40s, 50s or 60s was found about a half-mile inside the gated canyon road, which is part of the vast Griffith Park. “One of the dogs ran into the brush and came out carrying a plastic grocery bag. As the dogs shook the plastic grocery bag the severed human head fell out of the bag and onto the ground.” Smith told KCBS-TV. The man may have been killed elsewhere in recent days and his body dumped in the park, Smith said. The man wasn’t immediately identified. Police were checking reports of missing persons and coroner’s investigators will check dental records. Smith noted that the canyon is well-traveled by both cars and hikers. A paved road winds around picnic areas and a children’s playground before connecting with a trail that eventually winds up near the Hollywood sign. A second trail leads to a short tunnel known locally as the Batcave because it was used for a scene in the 1960s “Batman” series. It also is frequently used for filming TV and movie productions. USDA announces $308M for disaster-stricken states KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The U.S. Department of Agriculture is adding more than $300 million to the massive amount of financial assistance federal agencies have doled out in response to an unusually intense year of natural disasters, officials announced Wednesday. The money, from three emergency funds administered by the USDA’s Natural Resource Conservation Service and Farm Service Agency, is more than double the $136.6 million paid from the funds a year ago. It will go toward repairing farmland and associated property damaged by flooding, tornadoes, hurricanes and wildfires. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack said natural disasters impacted 55 million acres of farmland nationwide in 2011. “There have been years that have had more intensive damage in a particular geographic area, but what’s unique about last year is that virtually every part of the country was affected,” Vilsack said. The most aid is headed to Utah and Missouri, which combined will take in more than $110 million, or more than one-third of the total announced Wednesday. States rely on local conservation and farm service offices to approve fund applications, which are then forwarded on to the national USDA offices. Vilsack spokesman Matt Herrick said each state largely received the money it requested. Utah asked for $60 million to deal with two rounds of flooding, including in the southern part of the state in December 2010 and spring flooding that inundated farmers in northern and central Utah following a record snowpack, said Bronson Smart, state conservation engineer for the conservation service. Smart said state and county officials had received tens of millions of dollars from the conservation service to fund dozens of projects following similar flooding disasters in 2005, and have since learned the value of seeking help from the emergency funds. “Our counties and cities have come to rely on us quite a bit,” Smart said. After the 2005 flooding, “we spent $80 or $90 million … People saw that these were good investments.” Missouri suffered months of flooding along the Missouri River after the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers authorized unprecedented releases from reservoirs in the northern river basin all summer to deal with unexpectedly heavy rain in May and above-average mountain snowpack. Farmers in the Missouri Bootheel, meanwhile, saw their crops swamped when the Army Corps of Engineers exploded a levee to relieve water pressure on an upriver town in Illinois. The intentional breach sent water cascading over thousands of acres of prime farmland. Missouri will receive around $50 million, of which $35 million will come from the watershed program and the rest from the conservation fund. That’s in addition to millions of dollars Missouri already has received in aid from such agencies as the Federal Emergency Management Agency and Corps of Engineers. Harold Decker, assistant state conservationist for water resources in Missouri, said most of the watershed money will go toward clearing and redeveloping drainage ditches filled with silt and debris by flooding on the Missouri and Mississippi rivers. “Without that work, those systems aren’t going to function,” Decker said. “If ditches aren’t draining properly, it retards plant growth and the drainage of the plants and lowers production.” Slightly more than $215 million of the total aid announced Wednesday comes from the Emergency Watershed Program, about $80 million will come from the Emergency Conservation Program and nearly $12 million is from the FSA’s Emergency Forest Restoration Program. The money is distributed based on local agencies’ applications and ability to pay 25 percent of the cost of requested projects, according to the USDA. Paying the balance could prove to be the difficult part for hard-hit communities already struggling to recover from disasters and the economic downturn. In New York, which is set to receive $41.8 million — including about $37.8 million in watershed funds — money is earmarked for repairing erosion and other damage left behind by back-to-back late summer tropical storms Irene and Lee. Dennis DeWeese, acting state conservationist with the conservation service in New York, said 51 communities have asked for assistance and damage assessments have been completed for 15. The agency’s staff of 25, mostly engineers, had visited 160 sites by the end of last week and is continuing work that may extend into the Adirondacks. But he said it will be dif- ficult to ask already cashstrapped towns and villages to pay their share. “A lot of these municipalities are overwhelmed,” DeWeese said. In addition to flooding, 2011 was a big year for tornadoes, including record outbreaks in the South and a monster storm that leveled a large portion of Joplin, Mo. Alabama is scheduled to get just more than $6 mil- lion in assistance for tornado recovery, followed by nearly $2.1 million in Georgia. Alabama’s allocation is due in large part to losses in the poultry industry, said state deputy commissioner of agriculture Brett Hall. Chickens died when their houses blew away or during of power outages following the storms, he said.

The report says that while Texas correctly informed Ohio its warrant for Beasley did not allow him to be released on bond, a simple phone conversation could have cleared up confusion over Beasley’s status. “Talk to each other,” said a recommendation in the report obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press. “The warrant in this case did contain an appropriate notation that no bail was permitted,” said the report by Richland County Judge James DeWeese, brought in to examine what happened with Beasley. “Texas’ additional communication that it would not extradite until local charges were disposed created an ambiguity for the sheriff, however,” DeWeese wrote. “The initiation of a telephone call by either side … could have removed the ambiguity about intentions.” The report was released the same day relatives of some of the Craigslist victims had anticipated charges against a 16-year-old boy also arrested in the case. A Noble County grand jury — which was convened Wednesday — was not pre- sented any cases and did not issue any indictments, Noble County Judge John Nau said. Jailers, prosecutors and judges should be trained about such warrants and there should be better communication between jails and out-of-state state prison officials, according to the report on Beasley done for the Ohio council of the Interstate Compact for Adult Offender Supervision. One problem was confusion over how the law treats offenders being held for other Ohio counties compared with other states, DeWeese concluded. “While ignorance of the law is no excuse, this anomaly of the law for different treatment of offenders under interstate compact supervision from other out of county fugitives from justice is not generally known by judges or sheriffs,” he said. Summit County is reviewing the report to be sure state regulations are being followed, said sheriff’s office spokesman Bill Holland. Texas officials declined comment. Beasley’s lawyer said Wednesday in an email there was “multiple telephone communication” between Summit County and Texas officials. “Texas authorities said flat out they would not extradite Beasley UNLESS there was a conviction,” said Akron defense attorney Rhonda Kotnik. The Beasley report said it was unlikely that a set of rules that states agree to on prisoner transfers “intends to require a local jurisdiction to hold an out-of-state offender indefinitely” under such a scenario. But under existing rules, Summit County should have held Beasley, Roger Wilson, Ohio’s deputy administrator for the interstate group overseeing transfers, said Wednesday. Summit County authorities say they are planning to charge Beasley, 52, with killing three men and wounding a fourth between August and November. Investigators say the men responded to a Craigslist ad promising a job on a cattle ranch in rural Noble County, and were then robbed and shot. Brogan Rafferty, 16, an acquaintance of Beasley, initially faced juvenile charges in the death of one man and the wounding of another, and now faces the possibility of adult charges. Atlanta resident Mark Geiger, whose brother, Ralph Geiger, was killed Aug. 9 in Noble County, said he’d anticipated charges against Rafferty on Wednesday. But he thanked prosecutors for the attention they were paying to the case. Rafferty’s attorney said he couldn’t comment because of a gag order in the case. Beasley should never have been released from the county jail in Akron, where he was being held on drug charges this summer, Texas officials and the head of a national commission that oversees prisoner-transfer rules said last month. Yet Beasley left jail on bond July 13, was rearrested July 14 after a traffic stop, then let go again despite the existence of Texas warrants asking he be kept in custody. By Andrew Miga Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Rick Santorum is brash and blunt, and proudly so. But it’s a trait that will make it easy for Democrats to use his own words against him if he were to become the Republican presidential nominee. Far from apologetic, Santorum takes an “I-am-who-Iam” attitude. Lately, though, as he tries to emerge as the conservative alternative to front-runner Mitt Romney, the former Pennsylvania senator has been asking Republican voters to look beyond his verbal missteps. “I’m a consistent conservative,” Santorum often says these days. “I’m not a perfect conservative.” While his latest verbal miscue came as he campaigned in Iowa, his career is paved with them. National civil rights groups recently thumped Santorum after video surfaced of him discussing Medicaid and food stamps. He appears to say: “I don’t want to make black people’s lives better by giving them somebody else’s money. I want to give them the opportunity to go out and earn the money.” He tried to take it back a few days later, telling CNN in an interview: “I’m pretty confident I didn’t say ‘black’ … I started to say a word and sort of mumbled it and changed my thought.” Santorum’s comments on sex and faith as well as race have led to controversy during his 16 years in the House and Senate and when he was an author, radio talk-show host, think-tank fellow and Fox News commentator. Santorum once compared homosexuality to bigamy, incest and adultery, provok- ing a firestorm of protest from gay rights supporters. He also blamed Boston’s liberal political culture for the clergy sex abuse scandal that shook its Catholic diocese, drawing a thunderous rebuke from Sen. Edward M. Kennedy on the Senate floor. All that, and more, is sure to be resurrected if the GOP chooses Santorum to challenge President Barack Obama in the fall. Santorum nearly defeated Romney in Iowa’s caucuses but fared poorly in New Hampshire’s primary. He’s now barnstorming on friendlier turf in South Carolina, hoping for a come-from-behind victory in its Jan. 21 primary through his outreach to the GOP’s statewide evangelical base. A devout Catholic and a leading voice against gay rights and abortion, Santorum rose to prominence as an unabashed warrior in America’s culture wars during his 12 years in the Senate. He lost a bid for re-election in 2006 by a 17-point margin. Perhaps his most talkedabout comment is one that came in a 2003 interview with The Associated Press. Santorum angered gay rights advocates by saying states should have the right to ban gay sex and by comparing homosexuality to bigamy, incest and adultery. He cited a pending Supreme Court case over a Texas sodomy law and said: “If the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery.” He went on to say: “In every society, the definition of marriage has not ever to my knowledge included homosexuality. That’s not to pick on homosexuality. It’s not, you know, man on child, man on dog, or whatever the case may be.” Asked about those remarks by CNN recently, Santorum said he did not mean to draw a parallel between homosexuality and the other sexual behaviors he mentioned. “I didn’t connect them. I specifically excluded them,” he said. Santorum previously has said his remarks to the AP were in the context of a past Supreme Court ruling on privacy and were not meant as “a statement on individual lifestyles.” It was another issue entirely that earned Santorum the wrath of many Democrats in Massachusetts. In a July 2002 column for Catholic Online, Santorum wrote that promoting “alternative lifestyles” feeds aberrant behavior, such as priests molesting children. “Priests, like all of us, are affected by culture,” he wrote. “When the culture is sick, every element in it becomes infected. While it is no excuse for this scandal, it is no surprise that Boston, a seat of academic, political and cultural liberalism in America, lies at the center of the storm.” Massachusetts Democrats were outraged. Romney, then the state’s governor, called the remarks unfortunate. A few years later, Democrats went after Santorum during his 2006 re-election bid for statements in his book “It Takes a Family: Conservatism and the Common Book” that they claimed were insensitive to the struggles of two-income families.

The queen of Southern cooking and author of numerous cookbooks disclosed Tuesday that she’s had Type 2 diabetes for three years while promoting high-fat, high-sugar recipes as usual on her Food Network TV shows. She also said Tuesday that she’d signed on as the face of a new diabetes health initiative sponsored by Novo Nordisk, the company that makes Victoza, a noninsulin injectable medication she now takes. In a segment of ABC’s food chat show “The Chew” that aired Wednesday, Deen said she and her two grown sons, Bobby and Jamie, are working with the drug company’s Diabetes in a New Light campaign “because we, like everybody else, have to work.” But, she added, the three are “in a position” to “set aside a certain percentage (of the Novo Nordisk money) and we’re donating that back to the ADA.” Deen didn’t specify how much money she planned to give to the ADA. Her spokeswoman, Elana Weiss, reached by phone late Wednesday, could not immediately say how much Deen would donate. The American Diabetes Association on Wednesday said it was unaware of Deen’s offer, according to ADA spokeswoman Lauren Gleason. Neither Deen nor Novo Nordisk will disclose how much her endorsement deal is worth. Gleason said that the Deen family will participate in select diabetes health expos the ADA hosts around the country. They are not taking money for that effort, Gleason said. The ADA supports Deen’s diabetes disclosure, said another spokeswoman, Geralyn Spollett, in a statement. “People may benefit from seeing how others successfully manage Type 2 diabetes,” Spollett said. “Paula Deen, through her work with Diabetes in a New Light, is likely to inspire many people living with Type 2 diabetes to take a more positive approach to their diabetes care.” Spollett added: “We commend her for speak- Dow, S&P 500 close at their highest since July NEW YORK (AP) — A surprisingly strong report on the housing market and the prospect of more cash for the International Monetary Fund to fight off a financial crisis powered stocks Wednesday to their highest close since last summer. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index closed above 1,300 for the first time since July 28, and the Dow Jones industrial average finished at its highest since July 25. That was just before the bitter fight in Washington over the federal debt limit. It was also the first time since Jan. 3, the first trading day of the year, that the S&P 500 moved more than 1 percent. The market has made a quiet ascent since then. The S&P is up 4 percent for the year, the Dow 3 percent. Smaller stocks had the strongest gains, a sign that investors are becoming more comfortable taking on risk. The Russell 2000 of smallcompany stocks rose 1.8 percent, more than the 1.1 percent gain in the S&P and the 0.8 percent gain in the Dow. The Nasdaq rose 1.5 percent. “We think things are setting up to be better than last year,” said Brad Sorensen, director of market research at Charles Schwab. “The worstcase scenario is off the table.” The National Association of Home Builders index, a measure of sentiment among builders, rose to its highest level since June 2007 as sales jumped. Analysts said it could be a sign the housing market has bottomed out. The index is rising because builders are seeing a rise in people shopping for a home, not because they are seeing more sales, at least not yet. Those in a position to buy are benefiting from lower prices and mortgage rates. Stocks of home construction companies jumped. PulteGroup Inc. rose 6 percent, Toll Brothers Inc. rose 5 percent, and KB Home rose 8 percent. In another encouraging sign, the Federal Reserve said manufacturing rose 0.9 percent from November to December, the biggest gain since December 2010. Christine Lagarde, managing director of the IMF, said the fund wanted to raise $500 billion more to lend to countries. The IMF has put up roughly a third of the rescue loans to debt-hobbled European countries over the past two years. Investors are eager for signs that the world can contain Europe’s debt problem. Besides an already likely recession in Europe, a messy default by Greece or another country could lead to a financial crisis around the globe. In other trading, Goldman Sachs stock added almost 7 percent after its quarterly profit beat Wall Street expectations. Net income still fell 58 percent in the last three months of 2011, a result of choppy financial markets. Some bank stocks followed Goldman higher. Morgan Stanley, another investment bank, rose 6.8 percent. Bank of America rose 4.9 percent, JPMorgan Chase 4.7 percent and Citigroup 2.9 percent. Other financial stocks sank after disappointing earnings reports. State Street Corp. plunged 6.6 percent, the largest fall in the S&P 500. PNC Financial Services Group Inc. fell 2.6 percent, and Northern Trust Corp. slipped 2 percent. The Dow finished up 96.88 at 12,578.95. The S&P rose 14.37 to 1,308.04. The Nasdaq composite index, which has outperformed the other two this year, rose 41.63 points to 2,769.71. COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The state is seeing a shocking increase in the number of deer ticks that can carry Lyme disease, prompting concerns that it will lead to more cases of the illness, insect experts said Wednesday. A group that includes the state health and wildlife agencies is working to sort out what risks may be posed by last year’s spike in confirmed deer ticks, also known as black-legged ticks, and how best to spread the word and keep people safe. The experts believe the higher numbers are a sign of tick population growth, not simply the result of more active searching last year. It’s unclear what spurred the increase, though researchers suspect one factor is favorable weather conditions that helped more of the tick population survive and thrive. “We got kind of a red flag, a warning that something really unusual was happening with the tick population, and maybe we’re out front of it a little bit” because the number of human cases of Lyme disease in Ohio hasn’t shown a matching spike, said Glen Needham, an associate professor of entomology at Ohio State University who has studied the ticks and worked with the state to identify them. More than 1,800 blacklegged ticks were found on deer heads collected from hunters last year, and 183 more submitted to the state for identification were confirmed, compared with 29 found on deer heads the year before and 45 that were submitted and confirmed, according to the Ohio Department of Health. The ticks, some carrying Lyme disease, have especially shown up in eastern and southern Ohio. grams.

The South Gallia boys basketball team shot 49 percent from the field and made 10 trifectas Tuesday night during an impressive 72-56 victory over host Federal Hocking in a TriValley Conference Hocking Division matchup at McInturf Gymnasium in Athens mdrsports@heartlandpublications.com County. The visiting Rebels (7-3, 6-2 TVC Hocking) — who had lost two straight entering Tuesday — started slow, as the Lancers (5-6, 4-4) stormed out to a 7-0 lead early in the contest. SGHS, however, countered with a 15-8 surge to pull even, then Cory Haner nailed a trifecta just before the first quarter buzzer to give the guests their first lead of the night at 18-15. The Rebels never trailed again, as the Red and Gold hit three of their seven firsthalf trifectas in the second canto for a 17-12 run and a 35-27 advantage at the intermission. FHHS hit both of its three-pointers in the first half as well. Fed Hock opened the second half with a small 5-4 to pull within seven points at 39-32, but never came closer the rest of the way. South Gallia closed the third canto with a 16-11 spurt to take a 55-43 lead into the finale. Haner — who hit four threes in the triumph — scored 10 of his gamehigh 28 points down the stretch, although none of them came from behind the arc. The Rebels were 3-of-6 at the free throw line in the fourth quarter and also made seven field goals during that span, which allowed the guests to close regulation with a 17-13 run for the 16-point decision. SGHS connected on 28of-57 field goal attempts overall, including a 10-of25 effort from three-point range for 40 percent. The guests were outrebounded 40-29, but made only 12 turnovers in the game — compared to 16 giveaways by the hosts. Dalton Matney followed Haner with 15 points, followed by John Johnson with nine points and David Michael with eight markers. Levi Ellis and Danny Matney rounded out the respective scoring with seven and five points. SGHS was 6-of10 at the free throw line for 60 percent. Federal Hocking made 21-of-55 field goal attempts for 38 percent, including a 3-of-13 effort from behind the arc for 23 percent. The hosts were also 11-of-18 at the charity stripe for 61 percent. Chris Saylor paced the Lancers with a double-double effort of 18 points and 12 rebounds, but the senior was held scoreless in the fourth quarter. Max Carney was next with 13 points and Wes Dixon added seven markers. See REBELS ‌| 7 Lady Defenders top Hannan, 56-40 Alex Hawley Sports Correspondent GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — Turnovers are always a major factor in winning basketball games, Tonight when Hannan traveled to face the Lady Defenders it was no different. Ohio Valley Christian was able to beat the Lady Cats, 56-40, Tuesday night partly because they were able to force turnovers and hold onto the ball. OVCS was able to gain the lead in the first quarter by not giving up the ball. The Lady Cats could not match their opponent’s feat in limiting turnovers, and this led to a seven point deficit for Hannan by the end of the first quarter. The Lady Defenders’ forward, Emily Carman, had seven points in the first period. In the second period the Lady Cats were able to force a few more turnovers than they did in the first. Hannan was able to work the ball into the post for some more scoring opportunities, which led to 10 points in the quarter. Beth Martin led the home squad in the second with a seven point quarter which, along with tough defense, had OVCS up 29-18 at the half. After halftime the Lady Defenders came out firing on all cylinders including a 9-0 run to end the third period. Junior Madison Crank was the main scorer for OVCS in the third putting up nine points in the quarter. Hannan’s was led by Katie Ellis in the third with six of the team’s eight points. OVCS heads to the final quarter up 47-26. Hannan outscored OVCS in the fourth 14-9, on the backs of Katie Ellis and Chelsea Medows who had six points each.

ASHTON, W.Va. — You know what they say about digging yourself a hole. The Hannan boys basketball team trailed 25-10 after eight minutes of play and were down as many as 21 points in the first half Tuesday night during an 87-54 setback to visiting Teays Valley Christian in a non-conference matchup in Mason County. The host Wildcats (2-9) briefly led 3-2 a little over a minute into regulation, but the Lions (11-5) countered with a 23-7 surge over the final 6:27 of the first period for a sizable 15-point advantage. HHS committed eight of its 22 turnovers in that opening stanza, including seven in the opening four minutes of the game — which led to a 13-3 TVCS edge at the 3:49 mark. The guests also led by as many as 16 points (23-7) in the opening canto. The Lions continued their momentum into the second frame, as TVCS went on a 12-7 spurt to claim its biggest lead of the first half at 35-14 with 3:51 left. The hosts, however, closed the second stanza with an 11-4 charge to pull within 39-25 at the intermission. Hannan never came closer than 14 points the rest of the way, as Teays Valley Christian held a 48-34 edge with 4:31 left in the third canto. The guests closed the period with a 1611 run to take a 64-45 lead into the finale. HHS pulled to within 19 points (66-47) with 7:28 left in regulation, but the guests closed the game with a 21-7 surge to wrap up the 33-point decision. The Lions — who had only six turnovers in the second half — committed 17 misuces in the tri- umph. Paul Holley led Hannan with 16 points, followed by Ty Page with 13 points and Brad Fannin with 12 markers. Tyler Jenkins and Kade McCoy respectively added five and four points, while James Brumfield and Tyler Burns rounded out the scoring with two markers each. The Wildcats were 11-of-22 at the free throw line for 50 percent. Elias Beacom paced the guests with a game-high 20 points, followed by Cody Burden and Jonah Cosby with 16 markers apiece. Justin Wojcieszak added 15 points and Ben Parsons also reached double digits with 11 markers. TVCS was 9-of-28 at the charity stripe for 32 percent.

Lee led a quartet of WHS double figure scorers with Austin Jordan notching 14 markers, Wyatt Zuspan 11 points and Hunter Oliver with 10 in the Bend Area teams’ league triumph. The White Falcons used a 13-0 offensive spurt to begin the final period to erase a one-point edge by Miller before sealing the victory with eight consecutive foul shots over the final 1:12 of the contest. The win moved the Bend Area teams overall record to 5-7 on the year while pushing its TVC Hocking Division slate to 4-4 on the year. Miller falls to 3-7 overall and 2-6 inside the conference following the 12 point setback. The contest was tied on seven occasions with the lead changing hands a total of 12 times before the White Fal- cons pulled away with its 13-0 fourth quarter spurt. Wahama constructed an eight point 51-43 late in the third period only to have Miller score the final nine points of the quarter to gain a 52-51 advantage with eight minutes to play. Lee totaled five points with Zuspan collecting three and two apiece from Austin Jordan and D,J, Gibbs during the opening minutes of the final stanza as Wahama opened up a 64-52 edge. Miller closed the deficit to seven on two occasions as WHS experienced difficulty from the free throw stripe but Coach Mike Wolfe’s cagers righted the ship from the charity line to cash in on all eight opportunities during the stretch run to come away with the win. Wahama shot a blistering 59 percent from the floor and a disappointing 48 percent from the foul line while Miller connected on 39 percent from the field and 55 percent from the free throw stripe. Wahama claimed a 37-28 edge in rebounds with Oliver collecting 10 in addition to Lee’s 11 boards. The White Falcons committed 19 turnovers as compared to 15 ball-handling mistakes by the visitors. Miller was paced in scoring by Chase Glenaman with 17 markers followed by Elijah Rader and Hunter Starlin with 13 apiece and Skylar hook with 12. The White Falcons now prepare for a pair of home contests against the TVC Hocking Division leaders with South Gallia visiting the Bend Area on Friday and Southern on Tuesday.

The Spartans handed River Valley their eighth straight loss, 43-32. The first period was was led by Alexander’s Jake Gray who had six of his team’s 13 points. RVHS found themselves down 13-7 at the end of the first quarter, thanks to an 8-0 run by the Spartans. The Raiders stepped up their defense in the second quarter only allowing seven points. The guests scoring also picked up in the second, as they had five players with points in the period. RVHS senior Derek Flint had 11 points in the first half of action and had his club on top 21-20. After halftime the scoring pace slowed down with only 12 combined points in the third quarter. Alexander would have the edge going into the final quarter of play, 27-26. AHS held strong to their lead all through the quarter, even finishing with a 10-2 run. It had seemed that while Alexander was able to find the answer to shutting down Flint, who had just two points in the second half, RVHS could not find a way to stop Jake Gray. The Spartans claim victory, 4332. RVHS scoring was led by Derek Flint who finished the game with 13 points. Ethan Dovenbarger was also a big part of the Raider’s attack with seven points and 10 rebounds. Kyle Bays and Trey Noble each ended the game with four points, while Joseph Loyd and Austin Lewis each had two. Alexander’s attack was led by Jake Gray who scored a game high 18 points. Jordan Moseley was second in scoring for the Spartans with seven points. River Valley will return melee that left three people wounded. He was ordered in November to perform an additional 75 hours of community service for violating that probation with the Cincinnati arrest. Jones apologized in court to police for his conduct and said he realized that he “could have handled it a whole lot better.” The judge told Jones that he did not know how “someone with your ability risks your career with this type of behavior.” Assistant City Solicitor Karla Burtch said Jones repeatedly approached officers “aggressively.” Jones said he was just trying to protect his fiance. “This is unprofessional behavior,” Greenberg said. He told Jones that if he wanted to be regarded as a professional, “you need to act like one at all times.” Neither Jones nor his attorney would comment after leaving the courtroom. The Bengals and the NFL did not immediately return calls Wednesday. Jones will be a free agent after completing his second season with Cincinnati, which gave him a chance to continue his career. Tennessee made Jones the sixth overall pick in 2005. He started 28 games in his first two seasons with the Titans, but repeated arrests scuttled his career. He missed the entire 2007 season with the first of two suspensions from the league. The Titans traded Jones to Dallas before the 2008 draft. An alcohol-related altercation with a bodyguard that the Cowboys provided cost him another six-game suspension. He was out of the NFL for a year before the Bengals gave him the two-year deal in 2010 and a final chance to show he can stay out of trouble and hold a job in the NFL. He excelled as Cincinnati’s No. 3 cornerback before a neck injury ended his 2010 season after only five games. Jones had surgery for a herniated disc in his neck. He had another procedure on the neck last summer and opened the season on an injury list, forcing him to miss the first six games. He pulled a hamstring in his first game back, forcing him to sit out two more. Jones played the rest of the way and started eight games at cornerback in place of the injured Leon Hall. He didn’t have an interception. Jones had two punt returns for 67 yards. His arrest over the summer made him one of eight NFL players subject to discipline for incidents that occurred during the lockout. Bengals running back Cedric Benson also had an offseason arrest in Texas and got a one-game suspension during the season. The league will review Jones’ case and then could impose another suspension should he sign with a team. home for a non-conference battle with the Eastern Eagles on Friday.

Pacman Jones pleads guilty to disorderly conduct CINCINNATI (AP) — Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones pleaded guilty Wednesday to a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct. Jones entered the plea in Hamilton County Municipal Court just as his nonjury trial was scheduled to begin. A second misdemeanor charge of resisting arrest was dismissed in a plea agreement with prosecutors. Judge Brad Greenberg ordered Jones to serve a year of probation, complete 50 hours of community service and pay a $250 fine plus court costs. Jones could have received a maximum jail sentence of 30 days. Jones, 28, was accused in court documents of being disorderly, shouting profanities and trying to pull away as officers arrested him at a downtown bar in July. At the time, Jones was on probation in Las Vegas in connection with a 2007 no contest plea to a strip club Karl Merton Ferron photo/Baltimore Sun/MCT Baltimore Ravens tight end Dennis Pitta (88) drags Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Adam Jones (24) for extra yardage in the first quarter in Cincinnati, Ohio, Sunday, January 1, 2012.

At least many of your feelings about what surrounds you will not be known to anyone but you. Being this diplomatic could be problematic, as you could be misunderstand. Do keep your own counsel, yet choose to express yourself. It is important to let others know where you are coming from. If you are single, someone you choose might be withdrawn and secretive. Be careful. If you are attached, share more, and your relationship will bloom. It is how you say what you feel that counts. SAGITTARIUS sees past your defenses. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You will tend to go overboard, no matter what your intentions are. You want someone to know that he or she is welcomed and cared about. Nothing can undermine these good feelings, unless the other person is a cynic and cannot accept caring. Tonight: Break past a restriction. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You might want to rethink an agreement with a partner or associate, especially as you might feel like something is off. This discussion could be a lot more important than you think. Understand that often you resist the challenging path. Tonight: Go along with a partner’s suggestion. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Be smart and allow someone else to take the lead. You might question what is best. You cannot always be a leader, and allowing someone else to assume the role is wise. This person will have a greater understanding of what you must deal with. Tonight: If you don’t feel like doing anything, don’t. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Pace yourself, realizing when enough is enough. You could be unusually tired and dragging. You tend to go to extremes emotionally, losing self-discipline with fatigue. Take extra time off, or consider a power nap. Tonight: Make it easy for yourself. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Suppressing your imagination is close to impossible. Funnel some creativity into your work, if need be. A flirtation could take on a life of its own. If you are attached, do be careful not to push your limits. Tonight: Charge some of this energy into fun! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Tension seems to build from within. Whatever you are doing is causing a conflict. Listen to your inner voice, and realign your activities to what suits you. Spending more time at home could be a good long-term goal. Think home office or business. Tonight: At home. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Keep communicating the basics about a situation. When you do so in your charming style, the people involved might be more taken in by your style than by your message. Sprinkle in some seriousness, and you will convey your message clearly. Tonight: Break patterns. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Indulging a child or loved one could be great fun, but be aware of the costs of such actions, emotionally and financially. Use a little more selfdiscipline, and the end results could be far more rewarding. Know your limits. Tonight: Hang out. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You are feeling empowered, and want to help others feel the same. Though you are generous of spirit, others might not be ready to receive it. In fact, a friend could be most negative as he or she attempts to deal with your efforts. Let this person be. Tonight: Only what you want. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Note a tendency to personalize comments. Pull back some, and recognize that everyone’s world centers around him or her. With this type of behavior, wounded feelings could trigger easily. On the other hand, someone might be so complimentary that you might not trust him or her. Tonight: Do your thing. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Manifest your true desires, as others seem willing to help you. Curb spending, even if you think you are on the victory trail. Playing it conservative with finances can never hurt, and could be wise. Tonight: Find your friends. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH You handle responsibilities well, though you could be drained by another’s cold exterior. Don’t hesitate to ask for the feedback you need. Someone you look up to could be quite demanding, but ultimately it will be worth it, as this person is so good at what he or she does. Tonight: Think “weekend.” Jacqueline Bigar is on the Internet at www.jacquelinebigar.com. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
