The giveaway was founded by Jill Holter eight years ago and has provided for between three to four-thousand children during that time. This. year the giveaway served 123 families , up from last year's count of 100 families. Of tho$!! ' 120 families, 390 children received toys and clothing. Linda Wells, one of the organizers of this year's giveaway, said people began lining up at the church at 6:30 a.m., waiting for the doors to open at 9 a.m. Most of these people were parents who were then led into the church's sanctuary to pick out gifls for their children with the help of a personal shopper. ... Personal shoppers, who were al~o volunteers from the church, led the parents through the large sanctuary that normally holds 300 people but was tlien packed with gifts and clothing sorted by age groups. For each child parents could pick one large, medium and small gift as well as stocking stuffers and clothing . . Wells said this year Holter, who runs Hearts and Hands, was able to collect Christmas outfits throughout the year-so that children could dress festive for the big day set to arrive tomorrow. Wells said Holter buys items for the giveaway year round and she washes each donated piece of clothing. In addition, Wells said used toys are repaired by volunteers who also helped do the shopping for ne'!V toys purchased with donations from sponsors and individuals. This year corporate sponsors for the event were Racine Home National Bank. Rose 's Excavating, Kal Electric, Gheens Painting, Forest Run Church, Athens Ohio State Patrol Post and Ray Karr of Kinsale Corporation. Still, according. to Wells, the need persists in the county for those familie s having a hard time making it at Christmas.

But bringing these fighters into the fold of Iraq's security forces- and sparlcing a political reconciliation that will allow more Sunnis to participate in the governing process - is something the Shiitedominated government is not adequately addressing, analysts say. Iraqi officials report the number of fighters in the· socalled ."awakening" councils as about 70,000 and mpidly growing. They expect the number of Sunni fighters in Baghdad alone to grow to 45,000 next year- a fourfold increase from present figures. By companson, the Shiite dominated army and police malce up the majority of the 440,000 Iraqi security forces. Shiite government officials have in recent weeks cautiously praised the fighters for helping reduce violence. But laced into the comments were warnings that represent Shiites'· biggest fear: that these groups will become an uncontrollable force and eventually use their guns to escalate a sectariarr war that has largely divided • a AP plloto Signs for American Express, Master Card and Visa credit cards are shown on New York store's door on in this July 23 file photo.

'The awakening movement was a.response to ai-Qaida in Iraq ·trying to prevent Sunnis from entering the political process," Defense Minister Abdui-Qader al-Obeidi, himself a Sunni Amb, said. at a news conference on Saturday. 'The Sunnis' response wa~ an uprising, represented by the awakening groups. Now that al-Qaida has largely been marginalized in certain areas, Sunnis are entering the political arena," al-Obeidi said. "We will see a defiirite change soon because ·there is nobotly now s~ding between them and the rest of the Iraqi people." Sunnis make up about 20. percent of Iraq's population.. Under Saddarn Itussein and durlng the Ottoman and British rule of Iraq - they were the dominant IJOiitical entity. But since Hussem's fall, Sunnis have been politically · fractured. Now that .the awakening movement is being credited tamping down violence, the tribal sheiks directing .the · fighters are demanding more of a political voice.

Personal finance coaches say the problell) is most grave for individuals who are months delinquent or already in default - like Kenneth McGuinness, a postal clerk from. Rushing, AND SAN FRAN CISCO Americans are falling behind on their credit card payments at an alarming rate, sending delinquencies · and defaults surgi ng by double-digit percentages in the last year ami prompting warnings of worse to come. An Associated Press ·analysis of financial data from the country's largest card issuers also found that the ·greatest rise was among accounts more than 90 days· m arrears. Experts say these signs of the deteriomtion of finances of many house holds are partly a byproduct of the subprime mortgage crisis and could spell more trouble ahead for an already sputtermg economy. "Debt eventually leaks into other areas, whether it starts with the mortgage and goes to the credit card or vice versa," said Cliff Tan, a · visiting scholar at Stanford University and an expert on credit risk. "We're starting to see leaks now." The value of credit card accounts at least 30 days late jumped 26 percent to $17.3 billion in October from a year earlier at 17 large credit card trusts examined by the AP. That represented more than 4 percent of the total outstanding principal balances owed to the trusts on credit cards that were issued by banks such as Bank of America and · Capital One and for retailers like Home Depot and WalMart. At the same time, defaults - when lenders essentially give up hope of ever being repaid and write off the debt - rose 18 percent to almost $961 million in October, according to filings made by the trusts with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Serious delinquencies also are up sharply: Some of the nation.'s biggest lenders including Advanta, GE Money Bank and HSBC reported increases of 50 percent or more in the value of accounts that were at least 90 days delinquent when compared with the same Orenbuch, who specializes in the credit industry.

But bringing these fighters into the fold of Iraq's security forces- and sparlcing a political reconciliation that will allow more Sunnis to participate in the governing process - is something the Shiitedominated government is not adequately addressing, analysts say. Iraqi officials report the number of fighters in the· socalled ."awakening" councils as about 70,000 and mpidly growing. They expect the number of Sunni fighters in Baghdad alone to grow to 45,000 next year- a fourfold increase from present figures. By companson, the Shiite dominated army and police malce up the majority of the 440,000 Iraqi security forces. Shiite government officials have in recent weeks cautiously praised the fighters for helping reduce violence. But laced into the comments were warnings that represent Shiites'· biggest fear: that these groups will become an uncontrollable force and eventually use their guns to escalate a sectariarr war that has largely divided • a AP plloto Signs for American Express, Master Card and Visa credit cards are shown on New York store's door on in this July 23 file photo.

Iraq into blocs along religious lines. 'The awakening movement was a.response to ai-Qaida in Iraq ·trying to prevent Sunnis from entering the political process," Defense Minister Abdui-Qader al-Obeidi, himself a Sunni Amb, said. at a news conference on Saturday. 'The Sunnis' response wa~ an uprising, represented by the awakening groups. Now that al-Qaida has largely been marginalized in certain areas, Sunnis are entering the political arena," al-Obeidi said. "We will see a defiirite change soon because ·there is nobotly now s~ding between them and the rest of the Iraqi people." Sunnis make up about 20. percent of Iraq's population.. Under Saddarn Itussein and durlng the Ottoman and British rule of Iraq - they were the dominant IJOiitical entity. But since Hussem's fall, Sunnis have been politically · fractured. Now that .the awakening movement is being credited tamping down violence, the tribal sheiks directing .the · fighters are demanding more of a political voice. If they do not get it, they may tum· their guns back on U.S. and Iraqi forces, something American officials are keenly aware of.

Personal finance coaches say the problell) is most grave for individuals who are months delinquent or already in default - like Kenneth McGuinness, a postal clerk from. Rushing, AND SAN FRAN CISCO Americans are falling behind on their credit card payments at an alarming rate, sending delinquencies · and defaults surgi ng by double-digit percentages in the last year ami prompting warnings of worse to come. An Associated Press ·analysis of financial data from the country's largest card issuers also found that the ·greatest rise was among accounts more than 90 days· m arrears. Experts say these signs of the deteriomtion of finances of many house holds are partly a byproduct of the subprime mortgage crisis and could spell more trouble ahead for an already sputtermg economy. "Debt eventually leaks into other areas, whether it starts with the mortgage and goes to the credit card or vice versa," said Cliff Tan, a · visiting scholar at Stanford University and an expert on credit risk. "We're starting to see leaks now." The value of credit card accounts at least 30 days late jumped 26 percent to $17.3 billion in October from a year earlier at 17 large credit card trusts examined by the AP. That represented more than 4 percent of the total outstanding principal balances owed to the trusts on credit cards that were issued by banks such as Bank of America and · Capital One and for retailers like Home Depot and WalMart. At the same time, defaults - when lenders essentially give up hope of ever being repaid and write off the debt - rose 18 percent to almost $961 million in October, according to filings made by the trusts with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Serious delinquencies also are up sharply: Some of the nation.'s biggest lenders including Advanta, GE Money Bank and HSBC reported increases of 50 percent or more in the value of accounts that were at least 90 days delinquent when compared with the same Orenbuch, who specializes in the credit industry.

AP BUSINESS WRITER NEW YORK - Sallie Mae's CEO probably missed the memo on proper executive etiquette, because brushing off questions and cursing in front of the company's analysts jsn't the way to win over Wall Street - especial ly when you need them most. It was bad enough that Albert Lord seemed uneasy about being back on the job, after the buyout for the nation's biggest student loan packager officially went bust this month . Sallie Mae remains a public company, with Lord officially put in charge last week. But then to evade analysts' questions, insult them and end the conference call with an expletive - even if he thought the microphone was off - certainly made Lord sound unprofessional and childish. The Wednesday morning call was Lord's first chance to address the investment community afte~ the failure of the $25 billion takeover for the company formally known as SLM Corp. Had that deal gone through, Sallie's shareholders would have collected $60 a share .- a payday that's history now that a group of investors led by private-cqui· ty firm J.C.

Snowstonn blamed for 10 deaths, widespread ·outages from southern Plains to Great Lakes BY CARRIE ANTLFINGER ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER MILWAUKEE Highways were hazardous for holiday travelers Sunday and thousands of homes and businesses had no electricity · in the Midwest as a storm blustered through the region with heavy snow and howling wind. At least ten deaths had been blamed on the storm. Winter storm warnings were posted for parts of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan on Sunday as the core of the storm headed north across the Great Lakes. Parts of Wisconsin already had a foot of snow, and up to a foot was forecast Sunday in northeastern Minnesota, the National Weather Service said. Radar showed snow falling across much of Wisconsin and eastern Minnesota on Sunday and moving into parts of Michigan and Indiana. "Everything is just an ice rink out there;" said Sgt. Steve Selby with the sheriff's department in Rock County, Wt s. The weather system also spread locally heavy rain on Sunday from the Southeast to the lower Great Lakes. The storm rolled through Colorado and Wyoming on Friday, then spread snow and ice on Saturday from the . Texas Panhandle to Minnesota. Multi-car pileups closed parts of several major highways Saturday in the Plains States. The area of Madison, Wis., got three to four hours of freezing rain early Sunday, said weather service meteorologist intern Bill Borghoff at Sullivan. The combination , of icy pavement and gusty wind made driving treacherous, he said. "It's quite a mess out there," Borghoff said. Wind gusting to more than 50 mph uprooted trees in parts of Michigan. "I can see the snow moving basically sideways," meteorologist Wayne Hoepner said in Grand Rapids. Winds were recorded blowing as fast as 88 mph over Lake Michigan with gusts of 50 to 68 mph across the Chicago region, according to the .National Weather Service. Because of the wind, airlines canceled more than 250 flights Sunday at Chicago's 0 ' Hare International AirpOrt, the city Aviation Department said. Municipal officials said the wind had knocked out nearly 170 traffic signals. and there were more than 500 reports of fallen trees and limbs. More than II ,000 homes a~:~d businesses were without power at some point Saturday ill Wisconsih because of the treezing rain, ice, gusty wind and heavy snow, utilities said. Michigan utilities reported some 74,500 customers were still without power Sunday night, and in Illinois about 24,000 customers were blacked out. At least three people in Minnesota, three in Wyoming, two in Wisconsin and one person each in Texas and Kansas were killed in traffic accidents that authorities said stemmed from the storm.

Nothing "adolescent" about such lives of responsibility and care - nothing, that is, except their own deeply ingrained, metaphysical ave rsion to seeing themselves as ... adu lts; as the very backbone of a hidebound "~stablishment"; as, in the words of a 40ish attorney who reverently rev iewed the Zep concert ' for The Washington Post, a bunch of "corporate stiffs."

But such is the truncated range of ' J \ human possibility as whittled down in our postgrown-up era by the forces of Hollywood, the music biz and Madison Avenue. They have convinced us to see ourselves as either wild or boring; cool or uncool; unzipped or straitl aced; at least secretly licentious or just plain dull. Give me 7,ep or gi Je me death! As one 48-year-old Zep fan commented: "I' m about as conservative as they come, but conservative doesn't translate to ' Fuddy Duddy'!" Oh yeah?

AP BUSINESS WRITER NEW YORK - Sallie Mae's CEO probably missed the memo on proper executive etiquette, because brushing off questions and cursing in front of the company's analysts jsn't the way to win over Wall Street - especial ly when you need them most. It was bad enough that Albert Lord seemed uneasy about being back on the job, after the buyout for the nation's biggest student loan packager officially went bust this month . Sallie Mae remains a public company, with Lord officially put in charge last week. But then to evade analysts' questions, insult them and end the conference call with an expletive - even if he thought the microphone was off - certainly made Lord sound unprofessional and childish. The Wednesday morning call was Lord's first chance to address the investment community afte~ the failure of the $25 billion takeover for the company formally known as SLM Corp. Had that deal gone through, Sallie's shareholders would have collected $60 a share .- a payday that's history now that a group of investors led by private-cqui· ty firm J.C.

The Court also imposed a civil penalty of more than $1 million . Why? Because Sharp provided legal counsel and prepared and sold legal documents without being licensed to practice law in Ohio.

People wanting to create trust documents need the assurance that competent lawyers who are familiar with these matters are advising them and are properly preparing the necessary documents.

Snowstonn blamed for 10 deaths, widespread ·outages from southern Plains to Great Lakes BY CARRIE ANTLFINGER ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER MILWAUKEE Highways were hazardous for holiday travelers Sunday and thousands of homes and businesses had no electricity · in the Midwest as a storm blustered through the region with heavy snow and howling wind. At least ten deaths had been blamed on the storm. Winter storm warnings were posted for parts of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan on Sunday as the core of the storm headed north across the Great Lakes. Parts of Wisconsin already had a foot of snow, and up to a foot was forecast Sunday in northeastern Minnesota, the National Weather Service said. Radar showed snow falling across much of Wisconsin and eastern Minnesota on Sunday and moving into parts of Michigan and Indiana. "Everything is just an ice rink out there;" said Sgt. Steve Selby with the sheriff's department in Rock County, Wt s. The weather system also spread locally heavy rain on Sunday from the Southeast to the lower Great Lakes. The storm rolled through Colorado and Wyoming on Friday, then spread snow and ice on Saturday from the . Texas Panhandle to Minnesota. Multi-car pileups closed parts of several major highways Saturday in the Plains States. The area of Madison, Wis., got three to four hours of freezing rain early Sunday, said weather service meteorologist intern Bill Borghoff at Sullivan. The combination , of icy pavement and gusty wind made driving treacherous, he said. "It's quite a mess out there," Borghoff said. Wind gusting to more than 50 mph uprooted trees in parts of Michigan. "I can see the snow moving basically sideways," meteorologist Wayne Hoepner said in Grand Rapids. Winds were recorded blowing as fast as 88 mph over Lake Michigan with gusts of 50 to 68 mph across the Chicago region, according to the .National Weather Service. Because of the wind, airlines canceled more than 250 flights Sunday at Chicago's 0 ' Hare International AirpOrt, the city Aviation Department said. Municipal officials said the wind had knocked out nearly 170 traffic signals. and there were more than 500 reports of fallen trees and limbs. More than II ,000 homes a~:~d businesses were without power at some point Saturday ill Wisconsih because of the treezing rain, ice, gusty wind and heavy snow, utilities said. Michigan utilities reported some 74,500 customers were still without power Sunday night, and in Illinois about 24,000 customers were blacked out. At least three people in Minnesota, three in Wyoming, two in Wisconsin and one person each in Texas and Kansas were killed in traffic accidents that authorities said stemmed from the storm.

Fines for violati ng the ban . which outlaws indoor "nok.ing in most public places, are about to get bigger and more frequent for delinquent business owners, health officials warned. The ban was approved by Ohio vote rs in November 2006. Local healtiJ departments began enforcing the law on May 3, and have since logged more ·than 19,000 violations, or about I00 a day. on 7,300 establishments . Of those violati ons. only about 230 fines were issued. according to Ohio Department of· Health data ·from the first se ven months of enforcement. The law calls for a graduated series of puni shment s: After an initial warning, a second violation is $100. grow ing to $2 ,500 for fifth and subsequent violations. But that could soon change. In Montgomery County, where almost 1.300 complaints have resulted in only 58 warnings and 10 fines, officials said they've cleared administrative hurdles and are readv to issue big fines. · " It 's going to be our strategy to double the second fine, " said Alan Pierce, a supervisor of general services at Public Health Dayton and ·Montgomery County. "So instead of $500, we can go for $1,000." Private clubs are among the state's worst offenders, according to a Dayton Daily News analysis of the state · smoking complai nt data. Of the top 10 targets of smoking complaints in the state, eight arc private clubs. And members of the Moose and Eagles lodges, Veterans of Forei gn Wars , American Legion and Amvets call in neady a quarter of all smoking ban violation complaints. 'fhe Loyal Order of Moose Lodge 50 I in Middletown in southwest· ern Ohio received the largest number of complaints from disgruntled patrons: 183 . The next biggest offender is an Eagles lodge in Toledo that has collected 108. "We 've got to be setting some kind of a record or something," said Jerry Gabbard, the Middletown Moose lodge administrator. Gabbard, a smok.c;r. says the lodge no long~r allows smoking inside, but health officials are skeptical and complaint data from the Ohio Department of Health show that the club provoked 59 complaints in November. The Butler County Health has twice department logged violations on visits to the lodge, meaning it's faci ng a $100 fine , said Jeff Agnew, chief of environmental services for the Butler County Health Department. The lodge has asked for an administrative review that will delay the final disposition . Some business owners said that so many customers left when the ban went into effect that their establishments ignore the law in an attempt to hold on to regular customers. "To be truthful with yo u, we 're still smo~ing," said Rick Younce, manager of VFW Post 2800 in Dayton. "If you don't, you ruin your business." Younce said most of the '43 complaints .against his post to date came from three members. The post has received one warning, and isn't planning to make any changes - at least not while the fine s are still low.

Ben Mauk shrugged off mistakes and Southern Miss defenders alike, and helped No. 20 Cincinnati make one more entry into an impressive season. Outgoing Golden Eagles coach Jeff Bower, mean while, couldn 't put another win on his ledger. The hard-to-tackle ' Mauk passed for 334 yards and four touchdowns, and DeAngelo Smith intercepted three passes Saturday, leading the Bearcats to a 3 1-2 1 victory over Southern Miss in the Papajohns.com Bowl. The victory gave Cinc innati (10-3) its second 10-win season and ftrst since 1951 , while virtually assuring a spot in the final rankings for the first time. " It's kind of finishing off what 's been a really importam season in UC football ," first-year coach Brian Kelly said. "It started out with waking up a program that maybe had nodded off a little bit. It took us six wins thi s year to get ranked in the Top 25. I don't -know that it will take six next year:· Mauk, the game's most valuable player, completed 30 of 52 passes and overcame three interceptions to become only the third Bearcats player to have a 3,000-yard passing season. It was a nice finish for the former Wake Forest starter, but a difficult one for Southern Miss (7 -6) and Bower. · Bengals fromPageBl Cleveland headed in the ri ght direction. With a chance to take the Browns into the playofls , he went 29-of-48 for 250 yards and a pair of touchdown passes to Brayton Edwards. It wasn't all his fault, of course. One of the NFL's worst Monday, December www.mydailysentinel.com It was the final game for Bower after 17 seasons at his alma mater. a stay that ranks behind only that of Joe Paterno, Bobby Bowden and Frank Beamer among current coaches. Bower was forced to resign after a disappointing regular season, leadmg to the hiring of Oklahoma State offensive coordinator Larry Fedora. Bower walked off the field , his ann draped around daughter Stephanie and admitted he got "a little emotional" in the locker room afterward. Bower 's team couldn't convert several chances to at least make the ending interesting. Mostly, though, they couldn' t stop Kelly 's spread offense. Mauk, who also rushed for 41 yards and frequently broke · loose from defenders to make plays, threw three touchdown· passes during an 8-minute span extending into the second half. For Mauk , who intends to apply for another season of eligibility because of an injury-shortened junior year at Wake Forest, his scrambling helped in more than the . obvious ways. B.o wer's third-quarter gamble didn't pay off. Cincinnati stopped punter Britt Barefoot defenses allowed Watson to run for 130 yards and a touchdown, only the fourth 100-yard game of his career. Starter Rudi Johnson was inactive with a hamstring inj!•ry 'thai has bothered him most of the season. The Browns had everything in their favor. Thousands of their fans were in the stands , taking advantage of local indiffer. ence to another losing season.

Ben Mauk shrugged off mistakes and Southern Miss defenders alike, and helped No. 20 Cincinnati make one more entry into an impressive season. Outgoing Golden Eagles coach Jeff Bower, mean while, couldn 't put another win on his ledger. The hard-to-tackle ' Mauk passed for 334 yards and four touchdowns, and DeAngelo Smith intercepted three passes Saturday, leading the Bearcats to a 3 1-2 1 victory over Southern Miss in the Papajohns.com Bowl. The victory gave Cinc innati (10-3) its second 10-win season and ftrst since 1951 , while virtually assuring a spot in the final rankings for the first time. " It's kind of finishing off what 's been a really importam season in UC football ," first-year coach Brian Kelly said. "It started out with waking up a program that maybe had nodded off a little bit. It took us six wins thi s year to get ranked in the Top 25. I don't -know that it will take six next year:· Mauk, the game's most valuable player, completed 30 of 52 passes and overcame three interceptions to become only the third Bearcats player to have a 3,000-yard passing season. It was a nice finish for the former Wake Forest starter, but a difficult one for Southern Miss (7 -6) and Bower. · Bengals fromPageBl Cleveland headed in the ri ght direction. With a chance to take the Browns into the playofls , he went 29-of-48 for 250 yards and a pair of touchdown passes to Brayton Edwards. It wasn't all his fault, of course. One of the NFL's worst Monday, December www.mydailysentinel.com It was the final game for Bower after 17 seasons at his alma mater. a stay that ranks behind only that of Joe Paterno, Bobby Bowden and Frank Beamer among current coaches. Bower was forced to resign after a disappointing regular season, leadmg to the hiring of Oklahoma State offensive coordinator Larry Fedora. Bower walked off the field , his ann draped around daughter Stephanie and admitted he got "a little emotional" in the locker room afterward. Bower 's team couldn't convert several chances to at least make the ending interesting. Mostly, though, they couldn' t stop Kelly 's spread offense. Mauk, who also rushed for 41 yards and frequently broke · loose from defenders to make plays, threw three touchdown· passes during an 8-minute span extending into the second half. For Mauk , who intends to apply for another season of eligibility because of an injury-shortened junior year at Wake Forest, his scrambling helped in more than the . obvious ways. B.o wer's third-quarter gamble didn't pay off. Cincinnati stopped punter Britt Barefoot defenses allowed Watson to run for 130 yards and a touchdown, only the fourth 100-yard game of his career. Starter Rudi Johnson was inactive with a hamstring inj!•ry 'thai has bothered him most of the season. The Browns had everything in their favor. Thousands of their fans were in the stands , taking advantage of local indiffer. ence to another losing season.
