It was emphasized that the forecast is ..just that - a forecast" and remains as a "living-breathing document." subject to change. Rhonemus described the report as taking "a hit" over last fall's figures because of changes (decline) in open enrollment which resulted in the distlict having to "pay back to the state $76.000." The treasurer/CFO explained that current year funding provided by the state is based on last year's enrollment figures and this is having an effect on balances. He talked about other things which will affect school operating revenue including the reevaluation of propcrt) this year as well as the current low tax collection rate. Last year's rate of collected taxes was 82.67 percent. which Rhonemu~ explains affects how much money the school district gets in local taxes for operating expenses Superintendent William Buckley also pointed out that the reduction in enrollment has an adverse effect on money coming into the district because "funding is on a perpupil basrs with means less student~. less state mone) ...

The ship is one of more than a half do.~:en, including frigates, a destroyer and a guided missile cruiser, headed to the Caribbean nation. Fraser said during a news conference with other U.S. officials that the Pentagon is "seriously looking at" sending thousands of Marines to assist with disaster relief efforts and security in Haiti. The dispatched troops would aim to keep the peace in the event of post-disaster unrest as part of a larger international effort overseen by the United Nations, ·whose peacekeeping operalion headquarters was destroyed in the quake.

Clinton told reporter!> in Hawaii on Wednesday that she would return to Washington to help oversee U.S. relief efforts instead of continuing on to Papua New Guinea, Australia and New Zealand as she had initially planned. Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell said Gates postponed his trip so he and Clinton "can continue to work on the crisis in Haiti."

The airport is considered "operational," he said, but the facility's tower and other operations were damaged. Referring to possible use of U.S. troops to maintain order, Fraser said: "It's going to be our assessments that are going to determine. in conjunction with (the U.N. mission) and the other international partners who are there, how best to deal with any security situations that come up." "We don't know precisely what the situation 1s on the ground," he added. "So we're leaning forward to provide as much as capability as quickly as we can to respond to whatever the need is when we get there."

He urged Americans trying to locate family members to contact the State Department at 1-888-407-4747. Obama sought to show a swift and united disaster response with the United States as an assertive leader. but he said the effort must be an international one. "We are reminded of the common humanity that we all share," he said, with Vice President Joe Biden at his side. The president outlined a series of steps to help the Haitian people and said the U.S. commitment to its hemispheric neighbor will be unwavering. "We have to be there for them in their hour of need," the president said. Obama adjusted his Wednesday schedule, canceling a jobs event in Maryland to better monitor the situation in Haiti.

The meetings will give residents opportunities to compare numbers specific to their property and make a more informed decision about how to vote. If built, the new fire station would be a substation of the Pomeroy Fire Department and house equipment from the department to service Bedford Township residents. The building and all the equipment would belong to the Village of Pomeroy though the building itself would sit on township property. The substation would be staffed by residents of Bedford Township who would be trained by and belong to the Pomeroy Fire Department. The Pomeroy Fire Department was one of only 200 entities in the country which received a highly competitive federal grant to build a new fire station in Bedford Township. The station will be approximately 7,500 square feet and house one fire truck. The grant is for $811,750 and will pay for 100 percent of the construction costs. Ajoint-committee is being formed of both Bedford residents/officials and Pomeroy residents/officials/members of the Pomeroy Fire Department to work out the details of placing the substa- tion in the township.

PageA6 The Daily Sentinel Don't bank on weekend to make up for sleep loss B Y LAURAN NEERGAARD ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON Sleeping in on Saturday after a few weeks of too little shuteye may feel refreshing. but it can give a false sense of secutity. New research shows chronic sleep loss can't be cured that easily. Scientists teased apart the effects of short- and long-term sleep loss - and found that the chronically sleep-deprived may function normally soon after waking up. but experi~nce steadily slower reaction times as the day wears on, even if they had tried to catch up the previous night. The findings have important safety implications in our increasingly 24/7 society, not just for shift-workers but for the roughly one in six Americans who regularly get six hours or less of sleep a night. ''We know that staying awake 24 hours in a row impairs performance to a level comparable to a bloodalcohol content beyond the legal limit to drive," said lead researcher Dr. Daniel Cohen of Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital. But when the already chronically sleep-deprived pull an all-nighter, "the deterioration is increased tenfold,'' Cohen said. The National Institutes of Health says adults need seven hours to nine hours of sleep for good health. Regularly getting too little increases the risk of health problems, including memory impairment and a weakened immune system. More immediately. too little sleep affects reaction times; sleepiness is to blame for car crashes and other accidents. The new work shows how two different sleep drives impact the brain, one during the normal waking hours and the other over days and weeks of sleep loss. It has critically important ramifications for anyone who works "crazy hours" and thinks they· re performing fme with a few hours of weeknight sleep, said Shelby Freedman Harris, behavioral sleep-medicine director at New York's Montefiore Medical Center, who wasn't involved with the new research. "Don't think you can just bank up your sleep on the weekend, because it doesn't work that way," Harris warned. Cohen wondered how both acute and chronic sleep loss interact with our bodies' natural circadian rhythms, the 24-hour biological clock that signals when it's time to sleep and wake. He recruited nine young, healthy volunteers and messed up their normally good sleep habits for three weeks. They stayed awake for 33-hour stretches with 10 hours of sleep in between, a radical enough schedule that their internal circadian clocks couldn't adjust. Their sleep deprivation was comparable to that of someone who gets about 5 112 hours of sleep a night, Cohen said, but the extra-long wake-sleep schedule also allowed him to test the value of catch-up sleep. Cognitive and motor skills tests every few waking hours measured the volunteers' ability to stay alert and attentive, with results compared to similar volunteers getting a normal amount of sleep. The well-rested can catch up from the occasional allnighter fairly easily. But as the study wore on and the volunteers became more sleep-deprived, the rejuvenation they felt each time they awoke increasingly proved a facade, Cohen reported Wednesday in the journal Science Translational Medicine. They functioned OK during their first few waking hours, especially that first week. But then their reaction times steadily worsened with each hour they stayed awake, with a big drop in performance between the first and second weeks of sleep deprivation, he found.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Study: Fast morphine treatment may prevent PTSD BY LINDA A. JOHNSON ASSOCIATED PRESS Quickly giving morphine to wounded troops cuts in half the chance they will develop post-traumatic stress disorder, according to a provocative study that suggests a new strategy for preventing the psychological fallout of war. Researchers at the U.S. Naval Health Research Center led the study of about 700 troops injured in Iraq from 2004 through 2006. "It was surprising how strong the effect of the morphine was," said study leader Troy Lisa Holbrook, an epidemiologist at the naval center. The findings were published in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine. Whether the Pentagon will adopt the practice on the battlefield remains to be seen. Dr. Jack Smith, acting deputy assistant secretary of defense for clinical and program policy, said in an email that the "very interesting findings" are "likely to stimulate further research." About 53,000 troops returning from Iraq and Afghanistan have been treated for PTSD, a disorder in which someone who has endured a traumatic event keeps re-experiencing it and the fear it caused. Patients often have trouble with work. relationships, substance abuse and physical ailments. Researchers have been testing ways to treat it. and the new study looked at whether fast and strong pain relief can help prevent it. It was unclear whether it was the fast pain treatment or something specific to morphine that made the difference. But researchers theorize that simply easing pain might reduce the severity of the psychological trauma, or that prompt relief might alter the way the brain remembers the attack or injury - in essence, causing the mind to file away the episode as less traumatic. Troops in the study initially were treated at military medical facilities in Iraq, mainly for wounds caused by roadside bombs. bullets, grenades or mortar fire. A few dozen had burns or were hmt in crashes or '.-. falls. The decision on whether to give morphine was up to the individual doctor. based on the patient's condition. Of the 696 troops in the study, 493 - about 70 percent - were given morphine, most within an hour of injury. Two years later, 147 of them had developed PTSD. Of the 203 not given morphine early on, 96 developed PTSD. That worked out to a 53 percent lower risk of developing PTSD for those treated early with morphine. No other factor, such as the nature or severity of injuries, had much effect on the chances of developing PTSD, Holbrook said. "These are provocative and thought-provoking findings that should lead scientists to investigate the underlying mechanisms" in future sUldies, said JoAnn Difede, a PTSD researcher at New YorkPresbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center. Difede and Barbara Rothbaum, who heads the Trauma and Anxiety Recovery Program at Emory University School of Medicine, said that until more research backs up the findings, the study probably won't Jead to many more patients in civilian emergency rooms getting morphine. "At this point, I don't see it having a huge impact" for civilians. Rothbaum said. A second study in the journal found that Army wives were more likely to develop depression or sleep problems the longer, or the more times, their spouses were sent to Iraq or Afghanistan. That study, by researchers at the University of North Carolina and elsewhere. examined medical records for outpatient care of about 250.000 wives of activeduty soldiers from 2003 through 2006. Compared with wives whose husbands stayed home, those whose husbands were deployed for up to 11 months were 18 percent more likely to be diagnosed with depression and at least 20 percent more likely to be diagnosed with sleep disorders, anxiety and acute stress. For wives whose husbands were deployed for -".' ... _.._ _,b more than 11 months, problems were even more common: They were at least 24 percent more likely to be diagnosed with depression or anxiety, and about 40 percent more like! y to be diagnosed with acute stress or sleep problems. The researchers didn't have data showing whether husbands were deployed or at home when the wives were being treated for men- ................... -.---~- tal health problems. That meant the scientists couldn't conclude whether those problems were caused by worries about the spouse's safety and the difficulties of being a single parent, or by stress caused by the returning spouse ·s psychological problems or other behavior changes. "I suspect that if you look at the Reserve and National Guard wives, the toll might be even worse:· because they have less social support than families living in a communi~ military Rothbaum said. She said the effects deployment on children als need to be studied so the military can figure out how to provide more help to families.

OSU opener moved to Thursday night COLUMBUS (AP) - For the first time in 13 years, Ohio State will be playing a home footbaU game on something other than a Saturday. The Buckeyes' 2010 season opener against Marshall, originally scheduled for Sept. 4, has been moved up two days to Thursday night. • Athletic director Gene Smith announced the change in a mail on Wednesday. Ohio State's last non-Saturday regular season home game was in 1997, a season-opening 24-l 0 win over Wyoming that was also played on a Thursday evening. Kickoff time and television plans for the game will be announced later. 'Mr. Fix-It' has Cowboys playing dynamic defense IRVING, Texas (AP) Early in his tenure with the Dallas Cowboys. Wade Phillips declared himself "Mr. Fix-It" for the defense. Two years later, his unit stilJ had serious flaws. So team owner Jerry Jones ratcheted up the pressure go in~ into this season, the last of Pni1liJ?s' contract. Jones made Ph111ips the defensive coordinator and they agreed to overhaul the lineup - five new starters, dumping several notable players and plugg~ng in younger guys already here and some old favorites signed as free agents. The fact the Cowboys are playing a second-round playoff game against Minnesota on Sunday is the first hint things have worked out quite well. Dig deeper and the facts are even more impressive. Dallas hasn't allowed a 300-yard passer since the second week of the season and hasn't allowed a 100-yard rusher all season. Over the last five games, the Cowboys have allowed a total of six touchdowns. Only two were in the first half. helping the offense get ahead and stay ahead; they haven't trailed in their last four games. "We play our techniques well, we execute and we don't allow big plays," defensive end Igor Olshansky said. "I think that's a big part of it - don't allow big p1ays and make them earn every mch.'' Johnson fromPageBl Of course, if Johnson keeps posting phenomenal numbers, all kinds of honors and records should keep coming. "That gives me something to look forward to next year," he said before focusing on Dickerson's mark. "You go for 2,000 yards. I don't know what you can really say that makes you want to work harder or anything like that, so it's kind of a good thing and a bad thing me not getting the record." Bottom line: It's fixed. former first-round picks who ~a~~· they make it easy to fit ''I think we've just been were limited in previous m. consistent," Phillips said Wednesday. "It's just being solid in so many areas.'' The defense also has managed to pull off the coaches' dream of getting better as the season goes along, and peaking at the right time. A lot of it goes back to those five new starters and how well they've blended with holdovers such as pass-rush specialist DeMarcus Ware, nimble nose tackle Jay Ratliff and inside linebacker Bradie James, the captain. The learning curve was pretty small for the three veteran newcomers Olshansky, inside linebacker Keith Brooking and safety Gerald Sensabaugh. Olshansky played for Phillips in San D1ego, and Brooking played for Phillips in Atlanta. Dallas uses pretty much the same 3-4 scheme Phillips has used everywhere else, so Olshansky and Brooking only needed to get comfortable with the guys around them. Sensabaugh had no Phillips ties, but in Jacksonville he played for secondary coach Dave Campo and special teams coach Joe DeCamillis. They were sure he'd be a good fit, and they were right. Outside linebacker Anthony Spencer and comerback Mike Jenkins are the other new starters. Both are years. Both got a chance when malcontents were swept out of the locker room. It took time for the· young guys to blossom, but they certainly have. Jenkins actually didn't seize the starting job until late September, getting it partly by default because his competition, Orlando Scandrick, struggled. Yet Jenkins has certamly claimed the role, leading the club with five interceptions in the regular season and another in last weekend's playoff game. He also had a team-best 23 passes defended in the regular season and four more in the playoffs. "(Jenkins) is going to be a superstar in this league for a long time," Vikings quarterback Brett Favre said. Spencer was the king of the near-miss the first few months, with an ugly zero on his stat line for sacks going into a Thanksgiving game against predecessor Greg Ellis and the Raiders. Spencer had two that day and has put up a total of seven the last seven games, including one in the playoffs. "There's a lot of guys that have a lot of potential, but if they're not comfortable with the peo~le that they're around, its hard for them to fit in," Spencer said. "The group of guys we've got around here, they make it As each piece of the defensive puzzle snapped into place, the unit became tougher. When they held San Diego to a season-low 20 points last month, the players began to realize what they were capable of. Although the Cowboys lost that game, the confidence carried over the following week for what proved to be the season's turning point a victory at unbeaten New Orleans in which Dallas held th~ Saints to a season-low • pomts. Then the Cowboys closed the regular season with consecutive shutouts, a first in club history, and followed it by allowing only a brokenplay touchdown the first three quarters of the playoff opener against Philadelphia. "The guys have bought into this system and bought into each other and the belief in one another and the belief in the system and the belief in Wade," Brooking said. "We're a selfless defense, we're a selfless team. That's what I love about us more than anything." With even the backups contributing, Jones recently called Phillips "the MVP of the defense," giving the head coach/defensive coordinator full credit for the transformation. Johnson's production was even more impressive consideling the Titans began the season with six straight losses. He was a key reason for Tennessee's turnaround to 8-8. Johnson became the first player to run for three TDs of 85 yards or longer in a season: no NFL player had even done that in a career. I{e'll start next season with a streak of 11 100-yard rushing games; Barry Sanders holds the record with 14 in 1997. In November, Johnson rushed for 800 yards, the best month of any running back in NFL history. By then, it was a one-man show in the Tennessee backfield; as a rookie, Johnson split duties with LenDale White, and rushed for 1 ,228 yards and nine TDs. This season, White got only 64 carries a year after running for 15 touchdowns in 2008. "I took a backseat to greatness," White noted. "I'm just happy to be a part of it, to make history with him," Titans quarterback Vince Young added. " He's going to be a great player. This is just his second year, that's the crazy part." No one has rushed for 2,000 yards twice in a career. Titans coach Jeff Fisher says it would be unwise to bet against Johnson setting that prece- dent, too. '·I think he's one that has a chance to do it again. He's young," Fisher said. "He's special. He has the potential to go the distance and change games and do those kinds of things.'' League MVP Peyton Manning of Indianapolis drew 1 1/2 votes, and San Diego QB Philip Rivers got one. Johnson is the first Titan to win the honor, but the third player in franchise history. Quarterback Warren Moon won in 1990 as a H ouston Oiler, and Earl Campbell took the award from 1978-80 with the Oilers.

"You can't completely get a"'a) from it. but I was just more focused on just getting away mentally." Favre said. "No stress for a while." FaHe's age prompted a joke from Cowboys coach Wade Phillips. \\rapped in an assessment of Minne. ota ·s success at com- pleting rollout thro\\ s \\ ith its old passer.

"H~e's had so man) big games and \\on so many big games, put the team on his back so man) times," Phillips said. "He just has great expenence. and e\el)body has seen what a great player he is. And he's come back and played probably just as well as he e'er played this year. So he's in top form." Favre wondered aloud in August whether he'd make it through all 16 games. especially uncertain about his surgically repaired right arm. He took his share ol hits, but he didn't show any glaring signs of wearing down. Coach Brad Childress has said he's made a11 the throws he's needed to make. and Favre has said his arm feeb as good as it has in awhile. As the players reconvened this week, the Vikings had a little extra pep m their step from the rest and the promise of the biggest game of this Favre-fueled season. "I can see a spunkiness,'' Childress said. "which is what you want this time of year. Guys that are brighteyed. mentally and phy:-;ically." Another of the elders who benefited from the bye was cornerback Antoine Winfield, who aggravated the right foot injury that cost him 6 1/2 games when he returned on Dec. 13 and was not at full speed down the stretch. · The Vikings reduced his role in the regular season finale against the New York Giants.~essentially making him the nickel back so he could play the slot position. but Childress said the plan this week is to play Winfield "some·· on the outside where he usual!) lines up. " He seems to be pretty comfortable," Childress said. Though he won't be at full strength until the summer. Winfield was in good spirits after Wednesday's practice. reporting progress with his recovery. "I think it helped having the time off. staying off the foot:· he said. "It felt good today.

Colts say they're ready, not rusty, for Ravens INDIA!':APOLIS (AP) The indianapolis Colts felt like the) spent last "cek at boot camp. Four-time MVP Peyton Manning tested himself against his own defense, the tempo was quick and the intensity increased. To first year coach Jim Caldwell. this is ho\\ you usc a bye week to get ready - not "'- lro'Sly - for the playoffs . "It reall) got the compctitive juices flowing ," defensive end D\\ ight Freeney said. "The only difference bet\\een a game and a hard practice for the defcn:-.e is the finishing of a tackle . We are going full:.-.peed . We are running and we are fighting." Worried Colts fans couldn 't seek a better endorsement for change , though they'll certainly withhold judgment about the effectiveness of Caldwell's new tacttcs until seeing results. The annual debate over Indy's playoff preparation has generated national attention this year because of the team's decision to rest starters and focus on the postseason rather than playing for a perfect 'cason . The storylines arc familiur to local fans . Since 1999, the Colts are 0-3 in the pia) off:.. after earn_ing first- round byes.

Critics contend Indy' s postseason failure~ arc the result of long brl!aks late in" the season, which got the team's timinp offense out of sync. Rustiness. They potnt to 2005. when the Colts played their starters sparingly over the last two weeks of the regular season and then lost to eventual Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh 21 - 18. They point to 2007, when Indy went nearly three weeks without a meaningful game and then lost 28-24 to San Diego . A.nd they cite 2006, when the Colts won the regularseason finale to earn the No. 3 seed. and then won four straight in the postseason to bring home the Lombardi Trophy. Those inside the Colts· complex believe injuries and tragedy - provide bet ter explanations for the failurcs . In 1999. linebacker Cornelius Bennett went dov.. n with a knee injur) in the regular-season finale at Buffalo and missed the clivi~ional-round game against Tennessee. The Titans won 19-16. In 2007. Indy failed to put much pressure on San Diego ·s quarterbacks because it had lost Freene) with a season-ending foot injury in November. Team president Bill Polian told radio listeners last month that the shocking death of Tony Dungy's son. James. in December 2005 hurt the Colts' chances that year. too - more than people realized. "I can tell you that that really took a big toll on us." Polian said five weeks ago. ''HO\\ much? I don't know. but certainly a heck of a lot more than not playing guys.''
