Holley WEATHER BY BRIAN J. REED BREED@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY - Jeffrey Mullins, the fourth and final defendant accused in · the August arson fire that destroyed a local church, has admitted to charges in a seven-count indictment. Mullins appeared before Judge Fred W. Crow III Tuesday to sign a petition to ~nter a guilty plea, admitting to charges he participated in setting the fire that destroyed the Hemlock Grove Chrisitan Church. Just after they were indicted in September. Mullins and three codefendants entered not guilty pleas to the charges. Mullins was represented in his case by Tracy S. Comisford. Tuesday, Mullins admitted to two counts of breaking and entering, See Arsonist, A5 Fire investigations updated: One stalled, one active BY BETH .SERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINELCOM COLUMBUS - The investigation into a fivealarm house fire which morphed into a bmsh fire last month in Bedford Township has not been closed though the investigation has stalled. Shane Cartmill, spokesperson for Division of State Fire Marshal, said at this point, investigators have "exhausted every possible bit of information" in the case though questions remain. However. the case remains open should new information come to light - new information will likely be cmcial to breaking the case, if it's solved. The fire occurred at an unoccupied home located at 42440 Colburn Road and destroyed the dwelling, going on to burn at least three to four acres of surrounding area, possibly more. Cartmill said the extensive damage done to the dwelling has made it more difficult to pinpoint where the fire began and how - the agency hasn't ruled out the fire being intentional- ly set or occurring due to accidental causes. He also stressed the physical evidence in a case is only one component of c:.n investigation which (among other components) includes interviews. Cartmill also said the fatal fire in Long Bottom where a man was found dead, remains active. "The autopsy results are going to be very important in this case," Cartmill said yesterday. The importance of these results are two-fold- positively, definitively identifying the victim and determining his cause of death. As previously reported, Cartmill said the agency doesn't have any reason to believe foul play was involved in the man's death or have any reason to believe the man isn't William Keith (Pete) Stanforth though neither can be definitively stated at this time. Stanforth's name was released by Meigs County Sheriff Robert Beegle shortly after' the fire which occmTed at 52790 Curtis Hollow Road on Nov. 21. Another news agency reported the man was 73 and from Athens County. Cartmill said the home, identified as a second or weekend home, was completely destroyed. The cause of this fire is still undetermined though it appears to have begun at the area of the chimney of a woodburner - a possible electrical fire near the woodbumer has also not been mled out. Depending on the coroner's caseloads and the number of tests done, Cartmill said autopsy results could take 6-10 weeks.

Fla. (AP) - The ex-convict who calmly held a school board at gunpoint and then began randomly firing had circled the date on a calendar founo in his mobile home, evidence he had been planning the attack for some time, police said. Bay District officials ~so confirmed Wednesday ttu\t Clay A. Duke's wife had been fired earlier this year from her job teaching special education. Video of Tuesday's meeting showed Duke. 56, complaining about taxes and his wife being fired before shooting at close range as the superintendent begged. ''Please don't." The shooting was not "a spur. of the moment thing.'' Panama City Police Chief John Van Etten told The Associated Press. Police also found anti-government paraphernalia at Duke's home. but the chief didn't provide details. "He \Vas obviously was not happy with our government,'' Van Etten said. Minutes before the shooting. the room had · been filled with students accepting awards, but no one was hurt except Duke. who shot himself after exchanging fire with a security guard. police said. ''It could have been a monumental tragedy." Superintendent Bill Husfelt said. "God was standing in front of me and l will go to my grave believing"that." Video shows Duke rising from his seat, spraypainting a red V on the wall, then waving a 9mm Smith & Wesson handgun and ordering everyone to leave the room except the men on the board. They dove under the long desk they had been sitting behind as he fired at them. Duke rambled to the board about tax increac;es and his 'wife. but also apparently created a Facebook page last week that refers to class warfare and is laced with images from the movie "V for Vendetta." in which a mysterious figure battles a totalitarian government. The school board was in the midst of a routine discussion when Duke walked to the front of the room. "We could tell by the look in his eyes that this wasn't going to end well," Husfelt told the AP. Husfelt was calm as he tried to persuade Duke to drop the gun. but Duke just shook his head. The only woman on the board. Ginger Littleton. had been ordered out of the room too. but she sneaked back in behind him and whacked his gun arm with her large bro,wn purse. "In my nund. that WU!) the last attempt or opportunity to divert him." Littleton said. Duke. a large. heavyset man in a dark pullover coat got angry and turned around. She fell to • the floor as board members pleaded with her to stop. Duke pointed the gun at her head and said, "You stupid b----·· but he didn't shoot her. She's not sure why. She joked during a Wednesday press conference that her three daughters asked "'Arc you just stupid? What were you thinking?' I don't have an answer for that." After several minutes, video showed Duke slowly raising the gun and leveling it at Husfelt, who pleaded "Please don't, please don't." Duke shot twice at Husfelt from about 8 feet away and squee1.ed off several more rounds before district security chief Mike Jones. a former police officer. bolted in. Police said Wednesday the pair exchanged at least 14 shots. with Jones hitting Duke four times, felling him. Duke then shot himself fatally in the head. Police said he had at least 25 more rounds of ammunition. Somehow, no one else in the small board room was injured in the clash that lasted several minutes. Husfelt said at least two rounds lodged in the wall behind him. In Duke's brief exchange with the board, he said his wife had been fired from the northern Florida district. but never told Husfelt or the board who she was or what she did. Members promised to help her find a new job. but Duke just shook his head. Husfelt told Duke he didn't remember his wife but would have be responsible. for · her dismissal, so the board members should be allowed to leave. "He said his wife was fired. but we really don't know what he was talking about," Husfelt told the AP on Tuesday at his Panama City home. Duke's wife was apparently living with her mother in nearby Lynn Haven. It wasn't clear how long they were living apart, the chief said. Tommye Lou Richardson, the district's personnel director, said Rebecca Crowder-Duke was fired from her job as a teacher in February. She had been hired in September 2009 as a primary school teacher for students with special needs but didn't pass her probation. She wasn't able to go into further detail on the reasons. Richardson said Crowder-Duke had indicated that she felt like there was a violation of her employment rights, but she never filed a lawsuit. Crowder-Duke was concerned about her loss of employment. but Richardson said she wouldn't describe her as angry. She hadn't heard from Crowder-Duke since. and wasn't aware until after the shooting that Clay Duke was her husband. "There were no confrontations," she said. "There were no indications of anything as tragic as this." Video of the meeting shows Husfelt telling Duke: "I've got a feeling you want the cors to come in and kil you because you said you are going to die today.'' Later, the head of more than 30 schools in the district that includes the beach tourism and Air Force town of Panama City said he was sure someone was going to be killed. Richardson called Jones a hero. As Duke lay on the floor, colleagues comforted the shaken man. who said he had neYer shot anyone before. SWAT officers then stormed the room and ordered everyone onto the ground. School officials told them that Duke was shot and appeared dead. His feet could be ~ccn near the board's seats. People gathered at the home of Duke's wife Tuesday night asked reporters to leave. On a Facebook page under his name. the only dated entries are from Dec. 7 and 8. The page shows a cryptic message in the "About Me" section. ''My testament: Some people (the government sponsored media) will say I was evil, a monster (V) ... no ... I was just born poor in a country where the Wealthy manipulate. use, abuse, and economi- cally enslave 95 percent of the population. Rich Republicans, Rich Democrats ... same-same ... rich ... they take turns ileecing us ... our few dollars ... pyramiding the . wealth for themselves." llis Facebook profile picture is the red V symbol he spray-painted on the wall during the meeting, and his page includes photos from the film version "V for Vendetta," which was also a graphic novel. He quotes billionaire Warren Buffett. who told the New York Times in 2006: 'There's class warfare. all right. but it's my class, the rich class that's making war and we're winning.'' Duke was charged in October 1999 with aggravated stalking. shooting or throwing a missile into a building or Yehicle and obstructing justice. .according to state records. He was convicted and sentenced in January 2000 to five years in prison and was released in. January 2004. Records show Duke was a licensed massage therapist before his arrest but it wasn't clear if he was employed. Attorney Ben Bollinger. who represented Duke during his trial. said Duke was waiting in the woods for his girlfriend with a rifle. wearing a mask and a bulletproof vest. She confronted him and then tried to leave in a vehicle. and Duke shot the tires. Senate acts on tax cuts; now it's up to the House WASHINGTON (AP) The Senate Wednesday overwhelmingly passed a sweeping tax package that would save millions of Americans thousands of dollars in higher taxes while also reducing their Social Security taxes and extendjng jobless benefits. President Barack Obama swiftly urged the House to pass the $858 billion bill without changes, a slap at Democratic liberals eager to toughen a part of the measure that permits up to $10 million to pass to heirs estate taxfree. A wide array of tax cuts enacted under President George W. Bush is scheduled to expire on Jan. I -just two weeks away affecting taxpayers at every income level. The bill passed by the Senate, 81-19, would extend those cuts for two years. Obama urged quick action in the House. "I know there are different aspects of this plan to which meiJlbers of Congress on both sides of the aisle object. That's the nature of compromise," the president said. "But we worked to negotiate an agreement thafs a win for middle-class families and a win for our economy, and we can't afford to let it fall victim to either delay or defeat.'' House Democratic leaders said they expect to vote on the bill Thursday. Obama negotiated the package with Senate Repuhlicans. and then administration officials worked for days to persuade congressional Democrats to support it, signaling a possible blueprint for future legislatiOn. Because of November's election victories. Republicans will take control of the House in January and gain seats in the Senate. ".Middle class families need a boost in this economy. and that is exactly what this plan gives them," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. "It is not perfect, but it will c1catt: 2 million jobs. cut taxes for middle class families and small busines es. and ensure that Americans who are still looking for work will continue to have the safety net they rely on to make ends meet." The bill would extend expiring tax cuts at every income level. It also would renew a program of jobless benefits for the long-term unemployed that is due to lapse. and enact a one-year cut in Social Security taxes. The bill's cost, $858 billion, would be added to the deficit. "Opposing this bill is tantamount to supporting massive tax increases that threatens our economic future," said Sen. Orrin Hatch. R-Utah. "Allowing middle-class families. small businesses and investors to keep more of what they earn. while denying Washington hundreds of billions in new tax revenue to spend, is the right thing to do.'' Other Senate Republicans. however, balked at the price tag. noting that Obama's deficit commission recently outlined the massive fiscal problems facing the nation. "The American people are going to be looking. and they're going to say, does the Senate get it? Do they understand the severity and the urgency of the problems that face our fisc~ future?" Sen. Tom Coburn. R-Okla., said Wednesday. At the insistence of Republicans, the plan includes a more generous estate tax provision: The first $10 million of a couple's estate could pass to heirs without taxation. The balance would be subject to a 35 percent tax rate. The lower estate tax infuriated some Democrats who were already unhappy with Obarna for agreeing to extend tax cuts for individuals making more than $200.000 and cou- Republicans re~ly want ples making more than 'to jeopardize income tax. payroll tax and $250.000.

Obama says he shares mission with business leaders WASHINGTON (AP) President Bamck Obama and 20 business leaders worked through lunch Wednesday on ways to boost anemic U.S. job creation and improve their own testy relations amid rising anxiety over the slow economic recovery. The president said he wants 1deas from business leaders on how to "seize the promise of this moment." The closely watched session represents something of a reset for the president as he seeks common ground with a business community that has bristled over the administration's approach to health care. financial regulations and executives' bonuses. With unemployment at 9.8 percent and weak home prices and tight credit placing a drdg on growth, the president was looking to shake loose more than $1.9 trillion in untapped corpomte cash to help the recovery. Agenda items included an overhaul of the tax system, ways to case reg- .. ulations on business and greater private sector investments. A priority for business leaders is altering or eliminating regulations they believe are creating uncertainty and hindering growth, a step White House officials say Obama is open to considering. The policy climate for Obama-business relations has changed since the November elections altered the b~ance of power in the capit~. giving Republicans control of the House. In recent weeks, . Obama announced a new trade agreement with South Korea that corporate leaders applauded and negotiated a tax de~ with Republicans that included new business investment incentives. The Senate passed that measure on Wednesday. No major announcements were ·expected from the session. But Obama's outreach meets the White House's goal of sharpening his image as a president willing to reach out to former antagonists, a move that has angered liberals but could resonate with independent voters. The office of House Republican leader John Boehner issued a statement calling the session a "nothingburger," arguing that previous attempts had not resulted in any business-friendly policies. "The White House's 'olive branches' to the business community are more like twigs, really," the statement said. In his comments. Obama pushed his agenda of investment in education. cleaner energy sources and high-speed rail. And he spoke of making a firmer stand in Washington on fiscal discipline. an area where Congress and White House have long made promises but with little result. Overall, Obama said the path to economic growth is clear, and he added: "I'm committed to taking that path. I know America's business leaders are as well." The president joined • the CEO group a short walk from the White House grounds across Pennsylvania Avenue at the Blair House, better known as guest quarters for visiting dignitaries. Some of the executives are Obama backers and members of . White House advisory boards who have worked with the administration for some time. Among them are Penny Pritzker. a Chicago business executive who served as finance chair of Obama's presidential campaign. and Robert Wolf of UBS. a member of the President's Economic Recovery Advisory Board. an Obama golfing partner and a Democratic fundraiser. Others scheduled to attend are well known to the president. including American Express CEO Kenneth Chenault. Cisco Systems CEO John Chambers and Google CEO Eric Schmidt. But there are past critics in the group. too. Jeff Immelt, CEO of General Electric. has complained that "government and entrepreneurs are not in sync.'' And he has called for progress in shaping an energy policy. "Our policy is uncertainty," he said in June. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner. released from the hospital days ago after undergoing treatment for a kidney stone. wa~ expected to participate. too. "We have to be competitive. and the private sector needs to stand up." said Austan Goolsbee, the chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers. "There is opportunity perhaps in the fact that the corporate sector has begun to rebound and there is cash on their balance sheets." Obama senior adviser Valerie Jarrett said some companies are recovering. others are waiting for demand to increase and others are "looking for some certainty in the regulatory environment.'' Wednesday's meeting comes as the business sector has tempered its past criticism. Chamber of Commerce President Tom Donohue has said his organization wants to cooperate with the administration. as it did on the recent South Korea trade agreement • Retired or laid off from JOUr job?

They're going to be hoping to pay uff all the presents that they just bought· for Christmas, but tind that their paycheck is smaller than it was that last pay period in December. They're going to wonder where that ' pay cut came from. And the answer is, it came out of Washington. Pete Sepp, executive vice president of the National Taxpayers Union, said American families are wondering whose side Congress is on. "The delays have just been unconscionable and very difficult for families to cope with . financially because they don't know how to plan for the future," Sepp said. "lf Congress punts on the issue into 20 12. there will be very serious repercussions for millions, even tens of millions of American families.

Such "network neutrality" protections were needed because ISPs h_ad been caught blocking their customers' access to costeffective telephone services like Skype and intentionally degrading the perfonnance of peer-topeer file sharing software like BitTorrent. Now, the FCC chair has finall) unveiled hh; long awaited network neutrality plan. with an expected FCC vote slated for Dec. 21. Unfortunately. the plan will do very little to protect internet users against online discrimination and censorship by ISPs. Network neutrality is the principle that ISPs should treat all lawful traffic over their networks equally. Using that principle of openness. countless online applications and services (Google. YouTube. 1\vitter, Facebook. WikipedJ<t. etc.) have quickly gotten online and improved the daily lives of millions of users without having to first ask for permission from ISPs. And it's not just applications: thanks to the decentralized and nondiscriminator) nature of the internet, citizen journalists and nonprofits have been able to reach new audiences and draw public attention to stories and problems that \vould otherwise go ignored. Major ISPs would like to eliminate network neutrality since they could increase their profits by prioritizing certain kind-; of internet traffic. They \Vant customc1-s to pay more to get their \\ebsitcs delivered faster. But that opl·nc; the door for digital extortion, as recently occurred when ConKnst arm-twisted the networking company Level 3 into paying new, exorbitant fees after Level J signed Netflix as a new customer. lt would also make possibk ISP discrimination against low- budget, grassroots web content providers like cit1zen joum:lli.;ts, bloggers and nonprotitc; who often post the most interesting stories and videos. These groups likely won "t have sufficient funds to sustain an internet presence for very long. Sadly. Gemichowski's network neutrality proposal is fraught with loopholes. The proposnl fails to restore FCC authority over ISPs. which all but ensures court challenges to any attempt at enforcing network neutrality. The proposal does offer nominal protect ions against "paid prioritization," but critics decry these protect ions as weak. They point out that the pro· posal exempts unspecilied ":-;pe cialized services" from net work neutrality provisions, an exception which could lead to the neation of a tiered internet. What'<> more, the proposed rules don't extend to wireless broaoband networks. so that as more and more internet services go wireleo;s, the scope of network neutrality would be sharply reduced. Strong protection of an open internet will require a number ol · key changes to Genachowski's proposed new rules. One l;hange would be to restore FCC authority over the internet b) reclasc;ifying the internet as a "Title H'' sen icc. \vhich would put the FCC on firmer ground for asserting its authority. A better proposal would also eliminal~ the "specialized se1 VJces" loophole (why shouldn't everyone benefit from network neutrality!). disallow paid priori. tization (paid dic;crimination in other ~phe1es of life ic; illegal), and exteml it.; rules to both hardline and wi1elcss intemct services. The 111ajor ISPs have consider ahk lobbying m~1sdc, but defend crs of full' network neutrnlity have two key swing votes at the fCC Commissioners l'vtichacl Copps and l\·lignon C'lybut 1\'.

(AP) - Ford Motor Co. ·hasn't done enough to tell owners about its recall of Windstar minivans, according to the family of a Massachusetts man who was killed when his rear axle cracked in half, sending the vehicle careening into a building. Sean Bowman's family members told The Associated Press on Wednesday that they received a safety recall notice from Ford in October, one week after the fatal accident. Ford announced in August that it was recalling 575,000 older-model Windstars over concerns the rear axles can corrode and break, but the recall wasn't widely publicized. After an inquiry about Bowman's case from the AP, Ford said Wednesday that it was expanding its recall and cooperating with -government investigators. It declined to comment on Bowman's case. The automaker said Wednesday that it was adding 37,000 minivans to the initial recall. The addition brings the total number of Windstars covered to 612,000 in the U.S. and Canada. The original recall included vans sold in the 1998 to 2003 model years in 21 U.S. states and Canada where heavy road salt can cause the axles to rust. The corrosion can lead to cracks that can cause the axles to break. The recall expansion includes 2003 modelyear vans with heat-treated axles. It also includes vans registered in Utah, where road salt is used in some areas. Ford had been checking state motor vehicle registration databases to find Windstar owners in the affected states. It began notifying owners of the additional 37,000 vans about the recall on Dec. 6. Ford said that as of September. the latest figures it has available. there were seven accidents with three injuq~ none serious. Ford say was aware of 950 co plaints at that time. The company said Windstar owners with questions should contact their local dealers or call Ford at 1-866-436-7332. W.Va. seeks to developer geothermal energy MORGANTOWN. W.Va. (AP) - As the state looks for new ways to produce energy, something that's stored underground could again play an important role. Some experts believe geothermal energy could be developed in the state. Geothermal energy comes from natural heat deep inside the Earth, and according to Charles Baron, West Virginia has plenty of it. Baron works with Google.Org, , leading it's geothermal program. "What we've now found, is that in West Virginia, it actually gets quite hot and it gets hot enough at a shallow enough depth that it is commercially viable for geothermal power production," Baron said. This geothermal energy can be produced by drilling wells underground and tapping pockets of steam and very hot water. The water and steam can be used in a variety of ways to generate power. A recent study by Southern Methodist University pinpointed West Virginia as a treasure trove for geothermal in the Eastern U.S. One of the best places is underneath Randolph County. Michael Hohn is director of the West Virginia Geological and Economic Survey. "It isn't necessarily the area we would have predicted, from what we observe on the surface," h~ said. "For instance, warm springs might be an indication, but the warm springs of West Virginia and Virginia aren't in that area. So that is an area of future research." The West Virginia GES is participating in a national survey of geothermal energy opportuni- ties. It's collecting data on temperature readings underneath the Earth to determine the best areas for geothermal development in the state. The agency is also working with the state's Division of Energy to increase public awareness about the technology. Hohn says there's still a long way to go before geothermal can be a viable energy source. "It's a large resource within the United States, and we're only really discovering where the potential exists for relatively near development of this," Hohn said. "It's not right around the comer, it's not like some of the current energy developments. but this adds to the mix." Hohn says there are also technical issues that need to be smoothed out. Although the wells are similar to ones drilled for natural gas, geothermal wells must be deeper. "As you drill deeper and you have the hotter temperatures. you may need to use different tools for the drilling and for the analysis," he said. "Temperature logs you can take in shallow wells, the tools themselves won't work beyond a certain temperature. It takes a slightly different technology." Baron · says West Virginia can get a jumpstart on geothermal by joining federal research and development projects, educating surface owners about their rights, and working with European countries-particularly Germany-that have developed geotl}a mal energy. • Baron suggests West Virginia send a trade delegation to Germany to talk about the energy resource. Time honor caps celebrity-making of Zuckerberg NEW YORK (AP) Before 2010, Mark Zuckerberg, the 26-yearold co-founder and CEO of Facebook, was primarily known as a mysterious, sweatshirted figure, a Silicon Valley wunderkind familiar mainly to those in tech circles. But this year, Zuckerberg has been thrust into pop culture ubiquity, appearing on screens of all shapes and sizes, from ''Oprah" to one of the year's most acclaimed fllms. On Wednesday, his public ascent was solidified by Time magazine, w)J.ich named him its "Person of the Year." He's the youngest choice for the honor since the first one chosen, Charles Lindbergh in 1927. In a posting - where else? - on his Facebook page, Zuckerberg said being named Time's "Person of the Year" was "a real honor and recognition of how our little team is building something that hundreds of millions of people want to use to make the world more open and connected. I'm happy to be a part of that." It caps a remarkable year for Zuckerberg and Facebook, which has more than 500 million users worldwide and market val- uations that go into double-digit billions. In countless redesigns and new features, Facebook has been pushing toward becoming not just a social media hangout, but also the underlying, connecting fabric of the Internet. Time, which many expected to choose the news-making WikiLeaks founder JulianAssange for "Person of the Year," cited Zuckerberg "for changing how we all live our lives." "I'm trying to make the world a more open place," Zuckerberg says in the "bio" line of his own Facebook page. Zuckerberg was perhaps prompted to expand his public persona because others were doing it for him. "The Social Network," David Fincher and Aaron Sorkin's acclaimed drama of the contentious creation of Facebook, has supplied a narrative that in some ways is unkind to Zuckerberg and Facebook. The film depicts Zuckerberg (played by Jesse Eisenberg) as a brilliant, power-hungry, backstabbing hacker motivated by social acceptance and girls. Facebook has called the film (which Sorkin wrote based partly on Ben Mezrich's book "The Accidental Billionaires" and without Zuckerberg's cooperation) "fiction." But that hasn't stopped it from becoming a sensation with critics and moviegoers, and arguably the most talked-about film of the year. It has established itself as an Oscar front-runner. The New York Film Critics Circle, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association and the National Board of Review have all picked "The Social Network" as the best film of the year. On Tuesday, it received six Golden Globe nominations, including best picture, drama~ going up against its chief rival, the British monarchy tale "The King's Speech," which led with seven nominations. Zuckerberg countered the release of the fllm with a $100 million donation over five years to the Newark, N.J., school system. He appeared on ''The Oprah Wmfrey Show" to announce the donation. He's in the company of media titans Carl Icahn, Barry Diller and others who have joined Giving Pledge, an effort led by Microsoft founder Bill Gates and investor Warren Buffett to commit the country's wealthiest people to step up their charita- Scientists: It's not too late yet for polar bears ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - Two groups of scientists are suggesting a sliver of hope for the future of polar bears in a warming world. A study published online Wednesday rejects the often used concept of a "tipping point," or point of no return, when it comes to sea ice and the big bear that has become the symbol of climate change woes. The study optimistically suggests that if the world dramatically changed its steadily increasing emissions of greenhouse gases, a total loss of critical summer sea ice for the bears could be averted. Another research group projects that even if global warming doesn't slow- a more likely near-future scenario- a thin, icy refuge for the bears would still remain between Greenland and Canada. A grim future for polar bears is one of the most tangible and poignant outcomes of global warming. Four years # ago, federal researchers reported that two-thirds of the world's polar bear habitat could vanish by mid-century. Other experts foresee an irreversible ice-free Arctic in the next few years as more likely. The new study, which challenges the idea of a tipping point, says rapid ice loss could still happen, but there's a chance that the threatened bears aren't quite doomed. "There is something that can be done to save polar bears," said lead author Steven Amstrup. the former senior polar bear scientist for the U.S. Geological Survey in Alaska. "The problem is not in·eversible." His research, published in Nature, shows there's a steady relationship between greenhouse gas emissions, sea ice and polar bear habitat. As emissions rise, sea ice and polar bear habitat decline. But unlike previous research, there's no drop-off tipping point in Amstrup 's models. Essentially until a,ll sea ice is gone permanently in the summer there is still a chance to prevent the worst-case, if global warming is stopped in time, Amstrup's research shows. "Such a tipping point would mean that future reductions in greenhouse gas emissions would do little to save the polar bear," said Amstrup, who is now chief scientist for the conservation group Polar Bears International. "It seems clear that if people and leaders think that there's nothing they can do, they will do nothing." Some experts called Amstrup too optimistic, but said his computer models made sense. "I wouldn't say that we can rule out a tipping point, but it does show that a tipping point isn't inevitable," said Walt Meier, a senior scientist at the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colo. ble donations. right and what parts they Ahead of the release of got wrong," Zuckerberg "The Social Network,'' said earlier this month in a Sorkin defended the "60 Minutes'' interview. movie's veracity.

WanJ never imagined his vicious earlyseason hit would trigger a Uomino effect across the NFL. ''l kind of started it all with the finl!s," Ward said. shrugging. Ward was fined $15.000 in the days following his devastating hit on Cincinnati rookie \\tide receiver Jordan Srupley in the fourth qu~rter of Cleveland s Oct. 3 win. The blow. which knocked out and cohcussed .Shipley. be~ame one of the hel met-to-helmet hits most often pointed to by the le<tgue when it cracked down on such collisions to protect players. On Sunday, Ward hopes to speak with Shipley on Sunday before the Browns (5-8) play the Bengals (2-11 ), who have dropped I 0 straight since losing in Cleveland. Ward wants Shipley to know that he ffi • t a dirty player. "If I ~et the opportunity, I m1~ht shout at him for a httlc bit," Ward said. ··1 might just tell h1111 it wasn t my intent to· hur1 him or do anything like that, I was just playing the game. I hope he understands that. If not. I don t know, I tried." Bengals fans will be tougher to convince. ·;I m expecting the worst. gomg to their house. especially following what happened." he. said. ''Especially frqm the fans. I was getting called dirty player and all this. so I m pretty sure the fans aren t . going to be too happy about seeing me." Following the game. Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer and wide receiver Terrell Owens both called Wrru s hit "a cheap shot." The league felt it was excessive, too, slapping a hefty fine on Ward. Two weeks later. following a nasty hit by Pittsburgh linebacker James Harrison on Browns wide receivers Mohamed Massaquoi. the league implemented a tougher policy on belmet contact. There have been larger fines since the one given to Ward, who may be fortunate he got his out of the way. "Compared to the $50.000 and $25,000 ~uys are get.~ing. I gu~ss t s peanuts. Ward satd. "But it s still a lot of money. regardless. A lot of money." . With all their prob!ems. the Bengals aren t looking at getting back at Ward for motivation. "We ve moved on." Palmer said Wednesday. "We want to win because it s a rivalry game, because it s a home game and because they re kind of the team that started this whole slide. We went into that game as a confident team and they knocked us back a step. But our main incentive is it s a rivalry game, the in-state battle.·· Ward led with his right shoulder when he popped Shipley, who had just dropped a potential touchdown pass in the end zone from Palmer when he was flattened. But Wm:i s helmet also made contact with the side of Shipley s head. drawing a flag and more attention to pro football s inherent violence. Ward says he s learned his Jesson. Ironically. as he met with reporters, he wore a T-shirt that said, "Big Hit" on the front. a prize for a hard tackle he made on special teams for Oregon in 2009 against Southern Cal. "I had quite a few in college.'' he said. Wad s reputation as a tenacious h1tter with the Ducks is the biggest reason the Browns grabbed him ~n the second round of thts years draft. In a division featuring Troy Polamalu and Ed Reed, the Br<?wns wanted to udd an Impact safety. In Ward. they seem to have one. He. leads the Browns wtth 88 tackles ~nd has two intercept10ns.

Bct~ball s hottest free agent could have bad $150 mill ion and a spot on the biggest stage in the game with its most successful team - the New York Yankees, winners of 27 World Series. Instead, the star pitcher got up from the table and left $30 million behind. He picked the Philadelphia Phillies. winners of just two titks in more than a century and a team that brusquely traded him after he led them into the World Series in 2009, The Phillies will give him $120 million guaranteed over the next five seasons in a deal announced Wednesday. Why does a guy leave all that money behind? Apparently, because he had all he needed something that agents and others in the tinancial end of baseball say happens more than you might expect. Lee and his famiJy liked Philadelphia. Plus. his wife had complained that New York fans were rude and spat at the Rangers wives during the American League championship series this fall when Lee was pitching for Texas, his other big suitor this offseason. ~Players seem to like . Jiving here,'' Phil lies : chainnan Bill Giles said. , "There s nice housing and not as expensive as some other places if you want to buy or rent. The schools are ~ood. I think our front offtce and manager and coaches have a good reputation around • baseball right now as 1 being good people." l..re s move was the buzz of baseball Tuesday. ''That s the most I ve ever seen a player walk away from," fonner Mets general manager Omar Minaya said. "It s unprecedented." The Yankees are used to flexing their tinancial muscle to land free agents of their choosing. Baseball s top four salaries this year belong to players in pinstripes: Alex Rodriguez, CC Sabathia, Derek Jeter and Mark Teixeira, whose combined $1 00.5 million exceeded the entire payrolls of all but eight major league teams. Perhaps the last time. a premier free agent turned down this much money relative to his salary was in December 1992, when Greg Maddux stayed \vith the Atlanta Braves AP photo Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Cliff lee puts on a new hat during a baseball news conference Wednesday in Philadelphia. for $28 million over five years. He declined a $34 million offer from the Yankees that agent Scott Boras said could have escalated to about $38 million. "The four primary factors are winning, family. the geographical and economics." Boras said Tuesday. "Maybe 30 percent of the players are where the focus is primarily economic. The vast majority want to meld those four factors. Only about 20. 25 percent of players take the biggest deal. They often take the secondary offer." Lee s first big-money contract was a $14 mHlion. four-year deal with Cleveland covering 2006-09 that included a team option for 20 I 0 that would grow to $9 million. He then bounced around the country, getting traded to Philadelphia, Seattle and Texas before becoming a free agent and gaining the power to choose his destination. last stay in His Philadelphia was a good one for Lee and his v. ife. Kristen. During the latter half of the 2009 season. he helped the defending champton Phillies return to the World Series. where he won twice but Philadelphia lost to the Yankees in six games. Lee wasn t happy when he got traded in a fourteam, nine-player deal that brought another ace, Roy Halladay, to the Phillies from Toronto. "At first, I didn t believe it. I thought we were working out an extension with the Phillies," Lee said last December after he was dealt to Seattle. "I thought I d .be spending the rest of my career there. .. .

Ohio (APJ- before naming a starter Eric l\1angini wore one against the Bengals. B Y THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Three weeks left in the season. three coaches already long gone : Wade Phillips. Brad Childress and Josh McDaniels. WOO s next? The line likely forms in Carolina. where coach John Fox started the season ao; a lame duck and his Panthers have been flat-out lame. with one victory in 13 games. His status appears to be well beyond the hot o;eat. as in some sort or l':FL purgatory. He won t be the onlv coach out the door when the season ends. It s shaping up as an offsea'>011 with the potential for major turnover. There is hope for another chance for some on this Pick Six list of coaches on the hot scat. but not much: - Jeff Fisher. Titans: Finishing up his 16th season in Tenneso;ec. there is a difference of opinion between owner Bud Adams and Fisher regarding Yi"nce Young. The QB has not panned out the wa) Adams envisioned. is out for the season with a thumb injur). and the Titans have dropped six in a row. Seems like Fisher has just about had it. especially if Adams insists on sticking with Young. A resigwtion. firing, dismissal - whatever it s called - appears imminent. and look for Fisher to show up somewhere else as a head coach next season - if he wants to. About his future. Fisher is saying this: '"I m under contract. As I ve said numcrouo; times. I hope to finish my career here.'' Mike Singletary, Not many 49ers: believed when he said his team still had a chance at the playoffs despite an 05 start. but the 49ers (58) are a game out of first place in the horrid NFC West. Whether they make the playoffs or not (a win over the Char~ers on Thursday night 1s a tall order), Singletary s Jays appear to be numberl!d unless QB Alex Smith finishes with a flourish and the 49ers win the division. Gary Kubiak. Texans: With QB Matt Schaub and RB Arian Foster leading the way. all seemed rosy early on for Kubiak s crew. However. the defense ranks 29th of 32 teams. and is last in pass defense. A year after guiding the team to its first winning ~cason (97). Kubiak had high hopes for 20 I0. but the 1 1 'Ibans have lost six of their last seven and are on the verge of bein~ eliminated from playoff contention. Kubiak s contract extension through 2012 may not makl! it to 2011. Eric Mangini. Browns: Ye!>. there have been five wins for the Manginis. but has there been much progress? And is there real!) anything exciting about this team? With injuries to all of his quarterbacks throughout the season. i s a wonder Mangini has someone to call signals each week. Yes. RB Peyton Hillis has been terrific. But if this indeed was a one-year audition for team president Mike Holmgren. it may not be enou!!h for Man!!ini to get another shot. ~ Marvin Le\vis. Bengals: Champs of the AFC North last year. perhaps the worst Bengals squad e\·er this year. The losing streak has reached 10 and a loss to the B S d rowns on un ay would set a club record. Lewis alreadv has turned down a cOJitract extension, and can walk away from this mess in a few more weeks. Look for him to do so. and then oct hired to fill one of the soon -to-be many vacancies. either as coach of defensive coordinator. Leslie Frazier. Yikin1!s. and Eric Stude~ville. Broncos: The thinking is Jason Garrett will be the permanent replacement for with the Phillips, Cowboys reverting to competitive form with a 3-2 record since he s taken over. The verdict is not in on Frazier, who is ~- I s.ince being chosen as antenm coach. Of course. he II always be known as Brett Favre s coach when the quarterback s record starts streak ended Monday. At Denver. if owner Pat Bowlen decides he· doesn t want to pay three coaches tons of money (he still owes Mike Shanahan and ~1cDaniels). the littleknown Studesville has a chance. Othen~. ise, it s 23 skidoo. In addition. Bowlen mav want an experienced· coach for thi' massive rebuilding project. Browns QB McCoy practices with starters BEREA. Ohio (AP) Colt McCoy stmtted into the locker room wearing camouflaged hunting · bibs. the ever-present Texas baseball cap and a laminated wrio;tband containing Cleveland s of1ensive plays. As the rookie strode passed Jake Delhomme, his close friend and the man whose job he may soon take, McCoy had a confident look. The look of a :starting quarterback. McCoy took some snaps \Vith Clevclanu :s starting olTcnsc at practice Wednesday. increa~ing the possibility he will return from an ankle injul)' and start Sunday in Cmcannati (2-11 ). McCoy hasn t played since getting hurt on Nov. 21 at Jacksonville - his t1fth straight start. McCoy. who returned to practice last Priday and was Clevelcmd s No. 3 QB on Sunday in Buffalo. moved without any uifl1culty as he went through drills during the portion of practice open to reponers. McCov, Delhomme and Seneca Wallace · spent some time outdoors throwing passes for the Browns (5-8) as a li~ht snow fell on the pract1ce tield. Browns coach Eric Mangini will wait to see how .McCoy s ankle resJXmds and then give '"a definitive answer" about his starter on Thursday. " I thought he did really well on Frida) in tl!mls of moving around and things like that." ~1an!!ini said. "I d11 t expect there to 6e much limitation. but I want to see it and go from there.'' McCoy did not speak to the media. but his body language and lack of any limp showed he s ready to go. For Delhomme. that could mean he s about to be demoted to a backup. or even a backup backup role. McCoy wasn t expected to play at all this season. but he quickly rose up the depth chart after both Ddhomme and Wallace suffered high ankle sprnin<>. McCoy went 2-3 in his five o;tarts and showed remarkable poise in what became <m unexpected, early audition to become Cleveland s future quanerback. · of those l-hate-t-.1ondays looks on his face as he !>teppcd behind the podium. This wasn t going to be fun. When it was time to review Cleveland s latest loss. its worst this season so far - by far ...-- the blustery. Arcticlike conditions outdoors seemcd suited for Mangini s chilly mood, One da) after the Browns (5-8) seemed to regress during a la(.·kluster 13-6 loss at Buffalo, l\tangini broke down the game film with his players and came away with one overriding emotion. "Disappointing:' he said in opcning his Monday news conference. "lt s disappointing to me becau'ic it s not the way that we play football." The Browns bumbled their way to a brutal loss that has Cleveland fans praying for rookie quarterback Colt McCoy s return to the starting lineup. Also, the debacle in which Peyton Hilli::. had three fumbleo;, the Browns converted just 2 of 10 first downs and Jake Delhomme passed for 86 yards. ha::. renewed speculation about Mangini s job security after this season. Following consecutive. last-second wins over Carolina and Miami. the Browns seemed on the vergl! of respectability. But f<.?ur qu~rte,rs o_f lousy. umnsptred tootball has 1 knocked them back a 1 ~ew pe~s as thl!y prepare ' tor a tnp next Sunday to 1Cincinnati (2-11 ). ''It wasn t one guy." Mangini said, deflecting some of the harsh criticism auned at Delhomme. "It never is when you win and it never is 'vhen you lose. It wa!> a collective effort. and I m I<X)king for us to look to continue to improve." As for his ever-changing quarterback situation. Mangini will wait until later this week McCoy, who hasn t played since Nov. 21 because of a high ankle sprain, was ~healthy enough to be Cleveland s No. 3 quarterback on Sunday. McCoy could be ready to start this week. However, Mangini bn t n:auy to say if he II go back to McCoy or stick v,:ith Delhomme, who went 12 of 20 with one interception against the Bills. "I m going to see where we re at on Wednesday 'and kind of go from there:· Mangini said. ·'He (McCoy) was able to gt:t to where he could function as the third. so we ve got to sl!e where that is and think about it and we II go from there:· Mangini has a lot to consider before making a possible swap. With three games left. including two at home against AFC top dogs Pittsburgh and Baltimore, he must factor whether he needs wins to convince team president Mike Holmgren to keep him for next season. If that s the case. Mangini must start the quarterback who gives him the best chance to win. Is that ~1cCoy. \vho showed huge promise and potential in going 23 as a starter? Or is it the 35-year-old Delhomme. who looked slow and uncertain on Sunday? Mangini was asked if the plan i<i to play McCoy in one of the las.t three games. "The plan."' he said. "is just for me to be able to look at it objectively \\ ith all the information and the options and then make a decision from there." .\-1angini has ruled out Seneca Wallace as an option. When a~ked whom he will start if ~lcCoy can t pia}. Mangini said. "I would go with Delhomme. ·· Wallace. who made four starts earlier th1s season when Delhomme was hurt. took two snaps Ed Suba JrJAkron Beacon Jou Cleveland head coach Eric Mangini shouts encouragement to his players during the Browns' 34-14 victory over the New England Patriots at Cleveland Browns Stadium on Sunday, Nov. 7, m Cleveland, Ohio. on Sunday and handed off both time<;.

'"There were some plays that Jake could have played better but part of any success in the passing game is protection. the guys getting open and us being able to get them the ball."
