Post office woes continue Dayton facility among nine Ohio postal processing sites scheduled to be eliminated
Trostel to sign latest book
CLEVELAND (AP) — The U.S. Postal Service said Thursday it has decided to move mail processing operations from nine Ohio facilities to other sites, mostly in Cleveland or Columbus, but spare the Cincinnati facility from consolidation.
The financially struggling postal service had been studying the possible elimination of 10 processing facilities in Ohio, prompting protests and picketing by postal workers in the state who said the closures would hurt mail delivery.
The postal service announced Thursday that it plans to move operations from Athens, Chillicothe, Dayton and Ironton to a Columbus facility. Its Cleveland facility will handle processing previously done in Akron, Canton and Youngstown. Steubenville’s pro-
cessing operations will go to Pittsburgh. The work from Toledo will be split among the Columbus facility and two in Michigan. The study found consolidating processing work from Cincinnati wouldn’t significantly boost efficiency or service, according to the postal service. “The decision to consolidate

Bee for Literacy planned
High gas prices could hurt election hopes Soaring gasoline prices are threatening to undercut President Barack Obama’s re-election prospects and offering Republicans an easy target. With prices pushing $4 a gallon and threatening to go even higher, Obama sought Thursday to confront rising public anxiety and strike back at his GOP critics. See Page 6.

the military’s Naval Safety Center. “It’s an unfortunate consequence of the high tempo of operations,� said retired Marine Col. J.F. Joseph, an aviation safety consultant. “They’re out there working on the edge trying to exploit the maximum capabilities of the aircraft and their tactics. Just by the virtue of that, in becoming combat ready, these unfortunately are not uncommon occurrences.� The Marine Corps and Navy, nonetheless, stand out in their efforts to mitigate that risk and make training as safe as possible, he said. With 17,500 Marines and sailors, including personnel stationed at Camp Pendleton and Marine Corps Air Station Yuma in Arizona, the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing conducts hundreds of aviation training exercises a year so troops can get as much experience as possible before they go to war. The number of Marines killed in the latest crash shook the military community. Chaplains and counselors were called in to talk to
troops. Six of the Marines killed were from Pendleton the West Coast’s largest base and one was from the base in Yuma. Their identities will not be released until their families have all been notified. Two of the Marines were aboard an AH-1W Cobra and the rest were in a UH-1 Huey utility helicopter. They were flying in a remote section of the 1.2 million-acre Yuma Training Range Complex as part of a two-week standard training called “Scorpion Fire� that involved a squadron of about 450 troops from the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing. The helicopters collided near dunes at the edge of the Yuma range about an hour before the range was to shut down for the evening. Ground troops were in the area, but they were not affected, said Gunnery Sgt. Dustin Dunk, a spokesman at the Yuma base, which is a 90-minute drive from the accident site. Part of the exercise involved having helicopters low on fuel descend to ground troops that have set up a refueling outpost, Dunk said. He did not know if that’s what
the pilots were doing at the time of the crash. “Our training is always evolving, safety is paramount, and being prepared is paramount,â€? he said. “It was a very standard exercise for what we do. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family members ‌ Our investigation will look to see what went wrong and how to correct it.â€? The AH-1W carries a pilot and gunner and is considered the Marine Corps’ main attack helicopter. The UH-1Y, which is replacing the aging version of the Huey utility helicopter first used during the Vietnam War, carries one or two pilots, a crew chief and other crew members, depending on the mission. Hueys often are used to pick up and drop off ground crews, while Cobras hover by ready to fire if the Huey comes under attack. In other crashes in the past year, a twin-engine, two-seat AH-1W Cobra helicopter went down in September during training in a remote area of Camp Pendleton, killing two Marine pilots and igniting a brush fire that burned about 120 acres at the base north of San
Diego. In August, two Marines were ejected from their F/A-18 Hornet fighter jet as it plunged toward the Pacific Ocean. The two Marines spent four hours in the dark, chilly ocean before they were rescued. Both suffered broken bones but survived. In July, a decorated Marine from western New York was killed during a training exercise when his UH-1Y helicopter went down in a remote section of Camp Pendleton. Another Hornet sustained at least $1 million damage when its engine caught fire on March 30 aboard the USS John C. Stennis during an exercise about 100 miles off the San Diego coast. Eight sailors, a Marine and two civilians were injured. In one of the worst accidents in the past five years, an AH1-W flying in formation with three other Marine helicopters on a nighttime training mission from Camp Pendleton to San Clemente Island collided with a Coast Guard C-130 airplane in October 2009, killing two aboard the Marine helicopters and seven aboard the C-130.

COLUMBUS (AP) — Facing a legal threat, the state’s watchdog said Thursday he will prepare an investigative report on the investment scandal that engulfed Ohio in 2005. Inspector General Randall Meyer said in a statement that he couldn’t give a timeline for its release but his decision raises the possibility that the scandal dubbed “Coingate� could garner new attention in a busy presidential year. Tom Noe, the former coin dealer and Republican fundraiser at the center of the scandal, is serving 18 years in prison. Noe was convicted in a case accusing him of stealing from a $50 million rare-coin fund he oversaw for the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation. The scandal Noe
touched off reached to the highest levels of the state GOP, resulting in 19 convictions, including then-Gov. Bob Taft and his chief of staff. Noe is currently seeking a new trial. Meyer initially indicated no report would be issued because years have passed, the inspector general’s office has changed hands, and extensive details were revealed through the criminal process. But Thursday he said that after “realizing the continued public interest,� he had changed his mind. He said he “recognizes the assumed responsibility of the office to bring closure to this matter.� Earlier this week, the government watchdog group Common Cause Ohio threatened in a letter to sue over the missing report, suggesting a cover-up.

mail processing facilities recognizes the urgent need to reduce the size of the national mail processing network to eliminate costly underutilized infrastructure� and keep the postal service viable, Chief Operating Officer Megan Brennan said in a statement. The consolidation would depend on a proposed revision of delivery standards. Terry Grant, state president for the American Postal Workers Union, estimated the consolidations would affect about 2,000 jobs in Ohio. It would leave the state with only its three largest processing operations in Columbus,
Cleveland and Cincinnati, he said. “It’s going to really delay service to the citizens, not only in the state of Ohio, but everywhere that they’re planning on doing this,� Grant said. A date for the changes isn’t set, so the targeted Ohio facilities will continue operations for now. The postal service previously agreed not to consolidate or close facilities before midMay to give Congress more time to address the service’s financial troubles. The postal service has found more than 200 mail processing centers nationwide are feasible for consolidation, a move that would save an estimated $2.6 billion, David Van Allen said.

Getting glad over S.A.D.
“I have suffered from this for years. I used to dread winter so much. The first thing I do is get up and open up the curtains. Doesn’t matter if it’s cloudy or sunny, clear or snowy, they get opened. Seeing daylight helps me a lot. Next, I don’t stress over snow. I have learned to tolerate it. I have a niece and nephew (8 and 7), and we have gone sledding and had a snowball fight shoveling out my car. I watch something or read something funny. I try to exercise at least twice a week. The endorphins that I get help put me and keep me in a happy mood. Lastly, I schedule something that requires me to go out of my house. It’s so easy to burrow inside and curse the snow, but that doesn’t help. So far this winter hasn’t been half bad at all. — Regina Stoltz, of Troy Beat the blues

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP London Evening Standard on Britain and the eurozone crisis: The one comfort for the British government after the most recent dismal unemployment figures — at 2.67 million, the highest since 1994 — is that the outlook is no less vile elsewhere. France, whose economy grew last year, has a rate just under 10 percent, higher than our 8.4 percent. But that still leaves the government with hard questions to answer about its economic strategy. The combination of deficit reduction with a massive program of quantitative easing — pumping new money into the banks — may keep interest rates low but as a means of stimulating growth it is a good deal less successful than ministers hoped. The Governor of the Bank of England said that growth prospects here were partly dependent on eurozone debt reduction. That’s not much comfort, given the latest crisis in Greece.

But a messy default would open the way to greater instability and misery, a mass exodus of investment, widespread business failures and the loss of savings. After decades of mismanagement and cradle-to-the-grave welfare doled out from borrowed funds, Greece’s predicament is a stark reminder to other nations about the importance of tight fiscal policy and the need for banks and financial institutions to be well run and regulated to avoid the need for bailouts by taxpayers. Moody’s warnings to Britain, France and Austria that their AAA credit ratings are in jeopardy, and its downgrading of Italy, Spain, Portugal and others, was another reality check, indicating that no end is in sight for the European debt crisis. The option of Greece returning to the drachma, and other stricken economies including Ireland and Portugal exiting the euro through an orderly process yet to be devised, is being increasingly canvassed by economists and politicians in European capitals. Such a shift might be inevitable or even advisable, but it would be no panacea for any nation’s woes… Those calling for a fresh emphasis on growth and who argue that austerity alone will not solve the crisis have a point. Such growth, however, must flow from productive enterprises, innovation, hard work and exports, not government stimulus from further borrowings.

DOONESBURY
Here’s hoping this decade is better than the last If turning 30 is the new 20, then I’m looking forward to being 40. Not that my 20s were that bad, but there’s quite a few chunks of time that I don’t care to relive — or in fact, that I can even remember thankfully. And as the Tim McGraw song goes, “I think I’ll take a moment, celebrate my age; The ending of an era and the turning of a page; Now it’s time to focus in on where I go from here; Lord have mercy on my next 30 years.” I’ve found that as I’m aging gracefully (hey, a certain high school secretary asks me why I’m tardy every time I visit — God Bless this woman) I’ve noticed that I am slowing down a bit. Here’s a few things I’ve noticed: Things such as: 1. Sticks and stones. I’m morphing into Norma Jean. My grandmother loves a tidy lawn. She lives in town, so she has a lawn, whereas I have a yard — huge difference folks. Anyways, I can’t believe that I enjoy picking up sticks. It is somewhat therapeutic. It’s cheap therapy. Norma
Melanie Yingst Troy Daily News Columnist Jean still beats me in the leaf department. That may come later. The sticks I can handle. Is it normal to be sore after picking up just sticks? At least I won’t have to worry about them tearing up the lawnmower this spring, which brings me to my next point. 2. The grass is always greener on the other side of the driveway. I’ve found that I look forward to mowing my yard. It’s cheap therapy. You think a lot when you are mowing the yard. Actually, I even like mowing my parents’ yard. Old people love to mow grass.Well, now, I’m one of those old people. And, I’m OK with that. 3. Early to bed, early to rise. OK, so maybe not the latter

part. Last weekend was a pretty tame stretch for this farm girl. I was in bed by 10 p.m. on a Friday night — on purpose. No I wasn’t sick, I was just tired. When Saturday night rolled around, I even managed to score a free evening. Oh, I had options. I could have drove to Columbus to meet up with friends or went to town to have a drink, but when it came down to it, I just wanted to read a magazine and go to bed in a quiet empty house. It was wonderful. Amen. 4. Too old for Abercrombie, too young for Christopher Banks. After that crazy weekend of sleeping, I did manage to get together with the Queen and Triplet and we headed to Columbus, minus children, to spend the day shopping at Easton. All three of us agreed that we are in this hazy “middle” stage — too old for the juniors section and too young for the (gasp) Misses department. I can’t wear boxy-cut tops and I believe there’s a law against shorts so small the pockets poke out. I don’t want to break out the Quacker Factory garb though either. Well wait, some of
that QVC stuff is sort of cute. What did I just say? Anyways, if there’s any budding fashion designers out there, your 30ish market awaits. 5. Birds of a feather. The best part of last Sunday wasn’t the great deals I scored at The Buckle (am I too old for that store?) When you have to grab a hold of a clothes rack to help you breathe through the pain of laughter, you know you have a special bond. I know I’m repeating myself, but honestly, one of the best things that I will have in my 30s are my great girl friends. My life is never empty when all of them are around. In all honestly, the cast of characters I talk about weren’t around the last decade, but I believe they’ll be around for the rest of my life. That’s a good feeling. So maybe I’ll figure out just what I’m doing here, in my next 30 years. Cheers folks! “Twin” Melanie Yingst appears on Fridays in the Troy Daily News. She acts her age and her shoe size, which are the same number.

Higher gas prices cloud Obama’s re-election hopes
WASHINGTON (AP) — Soaring gasoline prices are threatening to undercut President Barack Obama’s re-election prospects and o f f e r i n g Republicans an easy target. With prices pushing $4 a gallon and threatening to go even higher, Obama sought Thursday to confront rising public OBAMA anxiety and strike back at his GOP critics. Obama said dismissively that all the Republicans can talk about is more drilling — “a bumper sticker … a strategy to get politicians through an election” — when the nation’s energy challenges
demand much more. In a speech in Miami, he promoted the expansion of domestic oil and gas exploration but also the development of new forms of energy. For all the political claims, economists say there’s not much a president of either party can do about gasoline prices. Certainly not in the short term. But it’s clear that people are concerned — a new Associated Press-GfK poll says seven in 10 find the issue deeply important — so it’s sure to be a political issue through the summer. “Right now, we’re experiencing yet another painful

Mother faces child endangering charge BY WILL E SANDERS Ohio Community Media wsanders@dailycall.com
PIQUA
A charge of child endangering has been filed against the mother of a 3year-old girl stemming from an incident last week where the unattended child ingested gasoline. Julia Hoelscher, 35, of Piqua, has been charged with child endangering, a misdemeanor of the first degree, said Piqua police Deputy Chief Tom Steiner. Paramedics and police were dispatched to 734 S. Downing St. on Feb.
15 after Hoelscher alerted her neighbor, who called 9-1-1. The child was transported to Upper Valley Medical Center for evaluation but was otherwise uninjured. Hoelscher told authorities that after returning home she briefly left the child unattended in a vehicle and in that time the child found a container of gas inside the vehicle and later ingested some of it. “She (the child) got out of her seat, picked up the gas and tried to take a drink of it,” Steiner said. 2254369

reminder of why developing new energy is so critical to our future,” the president said. At an average of $3.58 a gallon, prices are already up 25 cents since Jan. 1, and experts say they could reach a record $4.25 a gallon by Memorial Day. Those higher prices could hurt consumer spending and unravel some of the recent improvements in the economy. And they could also be a daily reminder to voters to question Obama’s contention that he’s making the nation — and them — more secure. While motorists are already starting to complain, many economists see the $4a-gallon mark as a breaking point above which the economy starts to suffer real pain. Analysts estimate that every one-cent increase is roughly a $1.4 billon drain on the economy.

AP MOVIE REVIEWS WANDERLUST: This would provide an intriguing double feature with “Martha Marcy May Marlene.” Both are about people who search for their true selves in woodsy communes, get sucked into the brainwashing and insularity by a charismatic leader and eventually struggle to escape. One of these films contains poop jokes. Guess which one it is. Yes, “Wanderlust” proudly wears its sketchcomedy origins on its sleeve, and that means the gags are as hit-and-miss as you’d imagine. David Wain (“Role Models”) directs from a script he cowrote with longtime friend and collaborator Ken Marino, but it’s clear that a lot of improv took place, as well. That’s the bread and butter for these guys and their cast members, with whom they’ve worked in the past on TV (“The State,” ”Children’s Hospital”) and in movies (“Wet Hot American Summer,” ”The Ten”). Some jokes get hammered into the ground; others go well past the point of cringe-inducing awkwardness, which is the point. But some do reach the levels of brilliant, unfettered lunacy to which they aspire. Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston star as married Manhattanites who find themselves at a hippie enclave known as Elysium. Justin Theroux, Kerri Kenney-Silver, Malin Akerman and Alan Alda are among its drugged-up denizens. R for sexual content, graphic nudity, language and drug use. 98 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four. — Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic

Trostel set to sign newly released book Saturday For the Troy Daily News
PIQUA
Scott Trostel of Brown Township has completed his newest book, and second about Abraham Lincoln, “The Lincoln Inaugural Train, The 1861 Journey of President-elect Abraham Lincoln to Washington, D.C.” The story is of President-elect Abraham Lincoln’s 13 day inaugural journey to Washington, D.C. in Febuary 1861. “After having completed the earlier book about Lincoln’s funeral train, it seemed that the amazing story of his adventurous and harrowing journey to Washington had not been told,” Trostel said. TROSTEL The book starts at Springfield, Ill., on a rainy February morning in 1861. En route millions of supporters gathered along the margins of the railroad tracks and at cities en route. In raw, cold, chilly winds, and rain, people cheered Lincoln as he passed by. He spent more time in Ohio than any other state along the route.
Having spent one day each in Cincinnati, Columbus and Cleveland. A meal stop at Xenia was canceled because of near riotous crowds. Numerous stops were made, and brief speeches offered. Residents demonstrated an overwhelming manifestation of support. Little known are the stories of three assassination attempts en route, the second at Cincinnati where a bomb was found on the train. “At times the train was slowed by a blizzard, a flood on the Hudson River and at other times by the throngs of people who showed up to see the presidentelect,” Trostel said. Each chapter covers one day of the journey, reception and proceedings at each of the 11 planned stops. A 12th planned stop at Baltimore, was canceled during a clandestine security move to avoid an assassination plot there. Residents seeking a

Near riots ensued at several locations in the effort by the masses to see and hear the president-elect. The overwhelming response of a nation during this terrible transitional time stands
as a tribute to the courage of one man during momentous events in one of the most intensely impressive chapters of American history, Trostel said. Trostel will sign his books from 1-3 p.m. Saturday, at the Readmore Hallmark on North Main Street s in Piqua.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — At least one person on the Oscars red carpet won’t have to worry about what to wear: Mother Dolores Hart.

Cool down and try to reach a compromise with wife
Today: 5 p.m.: Community Bulletin Board 6:30 p.m.: Talking Pictures 7:30 p.m.: Around Troy
Dear Annie: For the past year, my wife, "Janie," has been getting hot flashes. She is always broiling in the house while the rest of the family freezes. She insists on keeping the temperature at 70, while the rest of us are most comfortable at 74. She recently purchased warm slippers for everyone and suggested we wear long sleeves. Annie, I like to wear T-shirts and walk barefoot. I work long hours, and when I come home, I like to shed most of my clothes. I pay the mortgage and should not be freezing in my own home. Our family doctor said the hot flashes could last for years. I say she is disrespectful to all of us. She says I am insensitive. We are at an impasse. I found out she is looking for an apartment. I love my wife and beg you to help us before it's too late. — Upstate New York Where It's 20 Degrees Outside Dear New York: You think you're uncomfortable? Imagine how your wife feels with an internal thermostat that periodically sets her on fire. The U.S. Dept. of Energy recommends that your home thermostat be set at 68 degrees in winter (78 degrees in summer). You can warm up more easily than your wife can cool down. We recommend a compromise. You offer to be comfortable in sweats if she will speak to her doctor about medication to control her hot flashes or visit a health food store for more natural remedies. A pair of slippers and some hot cocoa seems a small price to pay to save your marriage. Dear Annie: My mother has three brothers. My grandmother's eyes are blue, and my grandfather's are blue-gray. My mother and two of her brothers have brown eyes. From my college biology class and some Internet research, I understand this is genetically impossible. This leads me to believe my mother and uncles may not be my grandfather's children. I also know that my grandmother had many miscarriages and a stillborn. My grandparents also have marital issues and have come close to divorcing on a few occasions. Should I speak to my mother about this? I'd like to know my biological family. — Brown-Eyed Girl Dear Brown-Eyed: Eye color is very complicated. While not common, it is indeed possible for blueeyed parents to produce browneyed children. And if your grandparents carry a mutation, it would make sense that more than one child would have brown eyes. So please don't jump to any conclusions. If you are concerned that your genetic background is inaccurate, speak to your mother. Dear Annie: You printed a letter from "Put Out in Peoria," whose sister boycotted the nephew's wedding because her children were not invited. I've photographed weddings for 15 years and can relate numerous accidents that have happened while parents were ignoring their children at receptions. I have seen cake tables topple because kids were playing underneath. They slide across the dance floor while their ignorant parents think it's cute to see them knock people over. Once, a toddler ran up behind my husband, who stepped back and fell over the boy. The kid wasn't hurt, but my husband tore a ligament in his arm. I've seen children run into stone walls and glass doors and need to be transported to emergency rooms. Take it from me. If you want an enjoyable evening, leave your children at home. Everyone will be safer. — Photographer in Houston Dear Houston: Not all children are so wild, and not all parents are so negligent. And often, the bride and groom want their little nieces and nephews in attendance. To avoid disasters, we recommend that bridal couples who wish to include young children hire babysitters to entertain and watch the kiddies.

SUDOKU PUZZLE
HOW TO PLAY: Complete the grid so that every row, column and 3x3 box contains every digit from 1 to 9 inclusively. Find answers to today’s puzzle in tomorrow’s Troy Daily News. YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:
HINTS FROM HELOISE
Simple restaurant hint is a true ‘green’ idea Dear Heloise: At a restaurant, instead of asking for the disposable carryout containers for leftovers, we bring a cloth shopping bag with our own reusable ones. They stack better, and the bag is a great help. The owner was delighted and begged us to tell all the other customers we know. He said, “You have no idea what I spend a month on the throwaways.” Now, when we get home, the food goes right into the refrigerator. It keeps much better and can go in the microwave to reheat. Do you think he should offer a 2 percent discount to customers who bring their own containers?
Hints from Heloise Columnist — Rich A., Roswell, N.M. Rich, GREAT recycling hint! I’m not sure about a discount, but why not ask? At the very minimum, you are still doing a “green” hint that is helpful! — Heloise LUGGAGE LABELING Dear Heloise: Almost all luggage ends up on the airport
carousal upside-down and wheels first. I believe this is done to keep the wheels and handles from getting caught on the conveyor. Your luggage will be easy to find if you put your initials on the bottom and the back of your suitcase with a white marker or crayon. — Sterling in California MONEY-SAVING HINT Dear Heloise: Save the extra address labels you are sent. Use them to seal frozen-food packages when you use freezer paper. Works great! — Shirley in Struthers, Ohio TEA-BAG DISPOSAL Dear Heloise: For me, there is nothing better than a big mug of
steaming-hot tea. When we travel by car, I carry a selection of tea bags. At convenience stores, my husband fills his mug with coffee, and I add a tea bag to my mug and fill it with hot water. After a number of unsatisfactory ideas for ways to dispose of the used tea bags, I finally found the answer! I put the hot, wet tea bag on a paper napkin in a plastic container from margarine and put the top on. At the next stop, I just drop the tea bag and napkin into the trash, put in a new napkin, and I’m ready for the next used tea bag. — Carolyn S., Spearfish, S.D.

HOROSCOPE Friday, Feb. 24, 2012 In the year ahead, more opportunities might become available to you than in the past. As time passes, better situations and numerous quality chances to do something productive will become viable for you. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Because you’re feeling a little claustrophobic, you’re likely to need more elbowroom than usual in order to function effectively. Try to act independently without smacking anyone in the jaw. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You should stop and take some time to straighten out an old matter that’s never been handled properly. Even if it doesn’t bother others, only you, it’s worth doing things right. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Although you might not seek or want it, you are destined to play a key role in a group endeavor. Because some members aren’t aware of what’s going on, they’ll welcome your input. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Don’t be surprised if you find yourself to be far more ambitious than usual. You might have to contend with some challenges, but you’ll win out if you use the big guns. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — If you are required to make a critical decision, trade on past experiences for a plan. By using the same techniques that were successful before, you’ll make the right choice. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Another avenue for material gains could come about through one of your newer relationships. The person in question likes what she or he sees in you, and wants to include you in something worth checking out. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Chances are you’ll automatically get involved in a partnership arrangement involving something that happens to be your strong suit. With your input, the results will turn out to be good. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — No grass is going to grow under your feet. Because you’ll see what has to be done and know how to do it, you won’t hesitate to get crackin’. This is likely to turn out to be a very successful day. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — With your popularity at a high point, it goes without saying that you’ll be well received wherever you go. Your presence will automatically brighten up any corner you walk into. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Take any opportunity you get to finalize an important development. Don’t leave anything up to chance or any loose threads hanging. You may not get another crack at it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Rely on your splendid mental attributes and your innate logic, but don’t totally discount your intuitive perceptions. Each facet has a place in your reasoning, so use your gifts accordingly. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — There’s an excellent chance that certain business matters will be less complicated now than they will be tomorrow. Don’t put off handling anything important.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Friday, Feb. 24, the 55th day of 2012. There are 311 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 24, 1942, the SS Struma, a charter ship attempting to carry Jewish refugees from Romania to Palestine during World War II, was torpedoed and sunk by a Soviet submarine after being towed and abandoned in the Black Sea by Turkish authorities; all but one of the 769 refugees on board perished. On this date: • In 1582, Pope Gregory XIII issued a papal bull, or edict, outlin-
ing his calendar reforms. (The Gregorian Calendar is the calendar in general use today.) • In 1868, the House of Representatives impeached President Andrew Johnson following his attempted dismissal of Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton; Johnson was later acquitted by the Senate. • In 1920, the German Workers Party, which later became the Nazi Party, met in Munich to adopt its platform. • In 1981, Buckingham Palace announced the engagement of
Britain’s Prince Charles to Lady Diana Spencer. • In 1992, Nirvana lead singer Kurt Cobain married Hole lead vocalist Courtney Love in Hawaii. • One year ago: Discovery, the world’s most traveled spaceship, thundered into orbit for the final time, heading toward the International Space Station on a journey marking the beginning of the end of the shuttle era. • Today’s Birthdays: Actor Abe Vigoda is 91. Actor Barry Bostwick is 67. Actor Edward James Olmos is 65.
Chavez assures backers: ‘I will live!’ CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez isn’t naming a substitute as he prepares to head to Cuba for surgery to remove a potentially cancerous tumor, and he assured supporters on Thursday that he will be around for a long time.
“I will live! I will live!” Chavez said, pounding the table, during a live television appearance broadcast nationwide from a hall in the Miraflores government palace. He said he will leave on Friday and will undergo the operation early next week.

Shown at the head of a wooden conference table and flanked by Cabinet ministers, Chavez sang, laughed, bantered and urged his nervous-looking ministers and other officials to be of good cheer. At one point, a boy appeared via a video feed from the western city of Maracaibo and recited a couplet about the president’s illness and how he will overcome it. Chavez, who is running for re-election this year, was in full campaign mode and spoke nearly uninterrupted
for just over four hours, railing against the “unpatriotic bourgeoisie” and saying there would be no more housing programs for the poor if his opponents take the presidency. “A capitalist state is never going to subsidize anything,” he said, punctuating his words with animated gestures. “Whatever happens,” he promised, “We are going to win by a knockout.” Chavez warned that his opponents will try to destabilize his government while he
undergoes surgery. The opposition, he alleged, plans to spread rumors of discontent and division within the country’s military and stir intrigue about his health. The nation’s congress earlier unanimously approved permission for Chavez to leave a formality required by the constitution. Under Venezuela’s Constitution, the vice president may take the president’s place during temporary absences of up to 90 days, which the National Assembly may extend for 90
If you have any of the above, there are effective treatment options, covered by insurances.

days more. Pro-Chavez lawmakers scoffed at opposition suggestions that Chavez might need the vice president to temporarily assume office. Vice President Elias Jaua says Chavez is fully capable of continuing his duties. Cancer specialists say Chavez’s absence could last weeks if he has to stay in Cuba for radiation treatment. Chavez said earlier this week the same doctors who removed a baseball-size cancerous tumor from his pelvic region in June would be operating on him. The firebrand president had already undergone chemotherapy last year, and in October declared himself “free of illness.” In a letter sent to the National Assembly requesting permission to travel, Chavez described the need for surgery as “urgent.” “I know the news of this new surgery has caused concern among the vast majority of my countrymen. I say it from the heart: I’m certain that we will win this battle,” Chavez wrote in the letter. “I will return as I always return: With more energy, more enthusiasm, more happiness.” Chavez has denied rumors the cancer had spread aggressively, but also said his doctors don’t know if the new two-centimeter (oneinch) lesion they found over the weekend is malignant. The president said he had received phone calls of encouragement from allied presidents Evo Morales of Bolivia and Ollanta Humala of Peru.

But the Bees didn’t go down without a fight. Bethel held its ground in the first quarter, trailing 16-11
MIAMI COUNTY when the buzzer sounded. But in the second, the Patriots outscored the Bees 19-5, then went on a rampage in the third, outscoring the Bees 23-8 to put the game out of reach. “We played a great first quarter,” Bethel coach Ed Quincel said. “We were still at the game at half. We really played well the entire game. With the kind of record and the kind of season we’ve been hav-

Bethel’s season ends with a record of 2-19. Bradford 45, Emmanuel Christian 35 Chelsey Broughman had 13 points, Brooke Dunlevy scored 10 and Haley Patted added

Only Rice (1:51.50) and Austin Quinn Chagrin Falls (1:51.74) had better times in the event. MacKenzie turned in the third fastest qualifying time in the 100 breaststroke (59.16 seconds).

Heat check Miami gets by Lin, Knicks, 102-88 MIAMI (AP) — Jeremy Lin was no match for the Miami Heat. Forcing Lin into easily the worst game of his remarkable run as New York’s starting point guard by running streams of defenders at him, Miami topped the Knicks 102-88 on Thursday night the eighth straight win for the NBA-leading Heat, all of those wins coming by at least 12
points. Chris Bosh scored 25 points, Dwyane Wade added 22 and LeBron James finished with 20 points, nine rebounds and eight assists for Miami, which will go into the All-Star break with the NBA’s best record (27-7). Lin’s final line: 1 for 11 from the field, eight points, three assists a far cry from the 23.9 points and 9.2 assists he had
been averaging over his first 11 games in the Knicks’ rotation, when he breathed immeasurable life into a team that was floundering. On Thursday, he simply wasn’t the same player, turning the ball over eight times. His last miss came with 6 seconds left, the outcome already decided,

For the girls, Tippecanoe’s 200 medley relay team finished with the 15th best time in the event, as Lauren Subler, Kirsten Bell, Augusta Grescowle and Cahill combined to swim a 1:54.68. In the 100 breaststroke, Subler came in with the 21st best time on the clock, swimming a 1:09.70. Cahill also placed 24th in the 100 butterfly with a time of 1:01.95.

Watney eliminates Woods in Arizona MARANA, Ariz. (AP) — Tiger Woods had a 5-foot birdie putt to extend the match, and Nick Watney already was thinking about how to play the next hole. He had his yardage book out, trying to decide whether 3-wood was the right club to hit off the first tee. “The old adage is to expect your opponent to make it,” Watney said. “And when it’s Tiger Woods, you really expect him to make it.” Just not this Tiger Woods. In what is becoming a troubling trend for Woods, he missed the birdie putt so badly that it never even touched the hole, giving Watney a 1-up victory Thursday in the Match Play Championship. It was the third straight time that Woods, a three-time champion in this event, failed to get out of the second round. “I didn’t miss a single shot coming in, which is good. And that was fun, to hit the ball that well,” Woods said. “Unfortunately, I just didn’t make a putt when I needed it.” Woods missed three putts inside 10 feet over the last six holes, none more important than

Nick Watney tees off on the eighth hole during the Match Play Championship golf tournament on Thursday in Marana, Ariz. the last one. Two weeks ago, Woods couldn’t buy a putt at Pebble Beach and closed with a 75, 11 shots worse than playing partner Phil Mickelson. He also struggled to make putts in Abu Dhabi, when he failed to win despite being tied for
the 54-hole lead with Robert Rock. “I’m very happy to move on. I feel a bit fortunate, as well,” Watney said. “We don’t see him miss putts like that very often. And there were a few of them.” Watney next plays Lee Westwood, the former world No. 1
whom Watney has beaten at Dove Mountain each of the last two years. Westwood had no trouble against Robert Karlsson of Sweden, advancing to the third round for the first time in 12 tries at this fickle event. “Need more clothes. Didn’t pack for long enough!” Westwood jokingly tweeted. England has won this World Golf Championship the last two years Luke Donald and Ian Poulter and Westwood is its last hope to make it three in a row. The surprise was that Scotland had two players remaining former British Open champion Paul Lawrie took down Ryo Ishikawa, and Martin Laird defeated Matteo Manassero. Lawrie and Laird face each other in the third round. In other matches Thursday: U.S. Open champion Rory McIlroy, the No. 2 seed, made only three birdies but won two straight holes with par to put away Anders Hansen and advance to the third round. He plays Miguel Angel Jimenez, the 48-year-old Spaniard who beat PGA champion Keegan Bradley.

Duke downs FSU TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Reserve Andre Dawkins scored 22 points and freshman Austin Rivers added 20 to lead No. 5 Duke to a 74-66 victory at No. 15 Florida State on Thursday night. The win kept the Blue Devils (24-4, 11-2) tied with No. 7 North Carolina for first place in Atlantic Coast the Conference while Florida State (19-8, 10-3) dropped a game behind. Dawkins scored 18 points over the last 11:23 of the first half, going 5 of 7 from 3-point range as Duke took a 39-32 lead. Ryan Kelly added 13 points for Duke, which shot 42.3 percent from the field, including 13 of 28 from 3-point range. NO. 14 MURRAY ST. 80, TENNESSEE ST. 62
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Isaiah Canaan scored 16 of his 24 points in the first half and Murray State avenged its only loss this season. The Racers (27-1, 14-1 Ohio Valley Conference) blew a 13-point lead in losing 72-68 on Feb. 9. They used a 14-0 run over the final 2:31 of the first half Thursday with four Racers each hitting a 3-pointer to blow open a tight game. Murray State shot 62.5 percent from the field in the first half and finished by matching its season-high with 12 3pointers. Donte Poole added 16 points and Zay Jackson had 11.

and he simply walked quietly off the court into the locker room. But for a while, the game lived up to the hype. Spike Lee, Floyd Mayweather and Chad Ochocinco all sat within seven seats of each other on one sideline, Mike Stanton and Logan Morrison of the Miami Marlins were on another sideline, and members of the New York Mets’ front office reportedly jumped aboard a helicopter for the quick trip from the team’s spring-training home in Port St. Lucie down to Miami. Even the First Fan took note of the hubbub surrounding the game. “In another life, I would be staying for the KnicksHeat game tonight, then going up to Orlando for NBA All-Star weekend,” President Barack Obama told cheering students at the University of Miami earlier in the day. “But these days, I’ve got a few other things on my plate. Just a few.” But when Air Force One was headed to Orlando for a Thursday night fundraiser, yes, there were televisions tuned to Heat-Knicks on board. Carmelo Anthony led the Knicks with 19 points, with J.R. Smith scoring 14 for New York off the bench. If proof was needed that the Heat wanted to make a point against Lin, there was some clear evidence. Exhibit A: Mario Chalmers stole the ball from Lin and went in for a two-handed dunk in the early minutes. Exhibit B: Norris Cole, Chalmers’ backup at point guard, did the same thing in the second quarter. Combined dunks this season for Chalmers and Cole entering Thursday? Zero.

Reds SS Cozart healed from 2 surgeries GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) — Zack Cozart spent the offseason recovering from two significant surgeries, trying to get his elbow and ankle to work properly again. Now, he’s back to full health, ready to compete for the Cincinnati Reds’ shortstop job. Cozart is one of the Reds’ biggest questions in camp because of his lack of experience in the majors and his offseason rehabilitation on his left elbow and right ankle. So far, he’s having no problems with what ailed him. “I’ve been going hard at it for three weeks, taking
ground balls, running. Everything feels good,” Cozart said on Thursday, a day before the rest of the position players report for camp. The Reds have questions about the left side of the infield. Cozart tore a ligament in his non-throwing elbow while trying to make a tag and had reconstructive surgery in August. He also had his right ankle cleaned out. Third baseman Scott Rolen is coming off surgery on his left shoulder last August. He and Cozart are expected to start if they have no lingering health
problems. Cozart was one of the Reds’ biggest surprises last season, playing very well in his first promotion to the majors. With Paul Janish and Edgar Renteria struggling at shortstop, the Reds called up Cozart on July 7 after he hit .310 at Triple-A Louisville. He made an impact immediately, batting .324 with two homers in 11 games. In that 11th game, he tore up his elbow and was done. Even though he had so few games in the majors, the Reds are giving him a chance to be the starter.
“He did well at TripleA,” manager Dusty Baker said. “He wasn’t rushed through the system. He’s gotten better. I like his play at shortstop, his deceptive speed and relative power. I wish we could have seen him longer.” Last spring, Cozart was among the last players cut because of his .394 batting average. “Last year, my goal was to open eyes, to show (general manager Walt Jocketty) and Dusty that I could play,” Cozart said. “You can’t put too much stock in spring training, but I had a pretty good

spring. I thought I made them at least think about it.” When he hurt his elbow, doctors told him he would have enough time to heal for spring training. “The elbow was harder to rehab, but I knew my elbow would come back 100 percent,” Cozart said. “For me, the ankle was more important. I didn’t want to get held back on defense, going side to side, stealing bases or anything like that. I couldn’t do any of that the way I wanted to.” Cozart said the ankle started bothering him
occasionally during spring training last year. “Once the season started, it would bother me pretty bad,” he said. “It was something I could play through. But I wasn’t 100 percent the whole year.” Baker will give him a chance to bat second in the order, the place he hit during his brief stay last year. “It’s an important spot,” Baker said. “Age is a small part of the factor, ability, aptitude, unselfishness. That’s where the most unselfish player, the smartest player bats. You have to take pitches that could put you in the hole.”

Roush Fenway on top Kenseth, Stewart win Daytona qualifying races DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Roush Fenway Racing will have three cars at the front of the seasonopening Daytona 500. Matt Kenseth won the second of the twin 150-mile qualifying races Thursday with a bold pass of teammate Greg Biffle. The victory gave Kenseth a spot on the second row for Sunday’s race right behind teammates Carl Edwards and Biffle. Tony Stewart, the defending NASCAR champion, won the first race and will line up next to Kenseth at Daytona International Speedway. Biffle was leading headed into the final lap, but he tried to block Kenseth, who dove to the inside and used a push from Jimmie Johnson to take the lead. “Well, we were going so much faster that we were going to go by him regardless,” Kenseth said. “I think that was his only hope, is to try to get up the track, try to line my front bumper up where I had to push him. The problem was, I was going too fast. Even if I wanted to slow down, which I didn’t want to on the last lap, I couldn’t have.” Robby Gordon and Michael McDowell earned the two spots up for grabs in the first race, while Joe Nemechek and Dave Blaney each raced their way into the 500 in the second qualifying race. Gordon said after he’d be willing to sell his seat to two-time Daytona 500 winner Michael Waltrip, who failed to qualify for the race after wrecking as he tried to return to the track surface after a late pit stop. The accident means it will be the first time since 1972 neither Darrell Waltrip or Michael Waltrip will be in NASCAR’s biggest race of the season. “I just went the wrong way and lost the car,” said a dejected Waltrip. “I feel like I let everybody down. I don’t know what to say. It’s just sad.” The two qualifying races could not have been more different, and both were far calmer than Saturday

Matt Kenseth poses with the trophy after winning the second of two NASCAR Gatorade Duel 150 qualifying auto races Thursday in Daytona Beach, Fla. night’s exhibition Daytona 500. That race was the first display of new rules NASCAR implemented to break up the two-car tandem racing that fans vehemently opposed. But the return of pack racing led to three multicar accidents and a slingshot pass at the end of the race that gave Kyle Busch the win over Stewart. The first race on Thursday had one early five-car accident that began when McDowell ran into David Gilliland, who shot directly into Juan Pablo Montoya and Paul Menard. Menard then questioned the style of racing NASCAR has created. “It’s a mess out there,” said Menard, who was also wrecked in the Shootout. “NASCAR is trying to dictate physics. Physics says two cars are going to push and they’re trying to make rule changes to keep us from doing it, so it’s kind of hybrid pack racing and tandem racing. It’s causing a pretty unsafe situation.” On the last lap of the race, with Stewart trying to hold off Dale Earnhardt Jr. in a race to the checkered
flag, Danica Patrick was wrecked as the pack raced down the backstretch. Patrick was hit by Aric Almirola as they raced along the backstretch. The contact sent her car sliding across the track and into an inside retaining wall. Her Chevrolet lifted off its wheels as it hit the SAFER barrier, which noticeably softened the blow. She was not injured and will make her Daytona 500 debut on Sunday. “It happened really quick,” she said. “We were just looking to finish, to be honest, and unfortunately that wasn’t the case. It felt pretty big. I don’t know what it looked like.” Stewart, who owns Patrick’s car, said he tried to watch her race from his rearview mirror. “I got to see a replay of it, but I didn’t see how it started,” he said. “The little bit I could see, I thought she did a good job. There wasn’t any doubt in my mind she would do that. It’s hard for her now because she’s trying to gain the confidence of the guys around her that she’s solid and is going to make good decisions.
“She’s trying to gain the other drivers’ confidence.” The second race was caution-free and had very little action until the end, when Kenseth passed Biffle for the win. It made it unclear what the Daytona 500 will look like, but Stewart, who is 0 for 13 in this race, said he’s not been holding back during SpeedWeeks and will race hard on Sunday. “I think we showed the rest of the field that we have a car that has good speed,” he said. “I want those guys to see that we’ve got strength. I think it’s an advantage to do that at this point of the game, showing that guys around you are going to hopefully want to be around you, and know that you’ve got a car that can stay up there, so they want to stay with you.” Stewart, who hasn’t missed a beat since closing out last season’s title run, picked up his first victory with new crew chief Steve Addington, who was hired to replace Darian Grubb after Stewart’s championship run. “We took care of business today,” Stewart said.
NEW YORK (AP) — National League MVP Ryan Braun’s 50-game suspension was overturned Thursday by baseball arbitrator Shyam Das, the first time a baseball player successfully challenged a drug-related penalty in a grievance. The decision was announced Thursday by the Major League Baseball Players Association, one day before the 28-year-old outfielder was due to report to spring training with the Milwaukee Brewers. Braun tested positive in October for elevated testosterone, and ESPN revealed the positive test in December. “I am very pleased and relieved by today’s decision,” Braun said in a statement. “It is the first step in restoring my good name and reputation. We were able to get through this because I am innocent and the truth is on our side. “We provided complete cooperation throughout, despite the highly unusual circumstances. I have been an open book, willing to share details from every aspect of my life as part of this investigation, because I have nothing to hide. I have passed over 25 drug tests in my career, including at least three in the past year.” No reasoning was given for Thursday’s decision. “Today the arbitration
panel announced its decision, by a 2-1 vote, to sustain Ryan Braun’s grievance challenging his 50game suspension by the commissioner’s office,” a statement from the players’ association said. MLB executive vice president Rob Manfred and union head Michael Weiner are part of the arbitration panel, and management and the union almost always split their votes, leaving Das, the independent panel member, to make the decision. Manfred said management disagreed with the decision by Das. It is the first time a drug suspension has been overturned in a grievance, baseball officials said. “It has always been Major League Baseball’s position that no matter who tests positive, we will exhaust all avenues in pursuit of the appropriate discipline. We have been true to that position in every instance, because baseball fans deserve nothing less,” Manfred said. “As a part of our drug testing program, the commissioner’s office and the players’ association agreed to a neutral third party review for instances that are under dispute. While we have always respected that process, Major League Baseball vehemently disagrees with the decision rendered today by arbitrator Shyam Das.”

Browns’ Shurmur says RG3 predictions premature By the Associated Press BEREA — The altered pictures of Robert Griffin III in a Browns jersey that are floating around the Internet jumped the gun. Coach Pat Shurmur is looking forward to meeting the Heisman Trophy-winning Baylor quarterback at the NFL scouting combine this week in Indianapolis, but said Wednesday it’s premature to assume the Browns will try to draft him in April – as many analysts and mock drafts have predicted. “Folks are making predictions when we’re still
gathering information,” Shurmur said during a 50minute informal meeting with the media. “I think that’s the important part. I think what happens is, there’s a lot that gets said and written at this time and it’s very interesting to everyone. We’re digging to find everything we can about a player.” Shurmur and many of the Browns personnel were scheduled to arrive in Indianapolis later Wednesday for the combine, where Shurmur said he’ll interview Griffin. The speculation is already rampant the Browns will trade
with the Rams to get the second pick and guarantee they get Griffin. “I’ve never met the man,” Shurmur said. “That’s why this combine is going to be so important for me. Obviously, he’s very accomplished as a college quarterback. As we go through it all, we’ll determine whether he’s what everybody says he is. “Obviously it’s important we do the right thing when it comes to the quarterback.” The assumption among outsiders is that means a change from Colt McCoy, who started 13 games in
2011 before suffering a concussion and missing the final three weeks. Shurmur said he’s communicated with McCoy throughout the offseason and that he’s healthy. Shurmur was asked if he expects McCoy to be the starter in 2012. “I’m expecting him to attack this offseason and get as good as he can get within our system,” he said. “He’ll do that. He really works at things and I think that’s going to help him.” McCoy must hear all the talk about the Browns adding a quarterback. “All players live with the
thought that they’re bringing in other guys. It’s just natural,” Shurmur said. “For Colt, we’re looking forward to him improving through the offseason and I think it’ll make a big difference for his Year 2 with me being here.” McCoy was new to Shurmur’s West Coast Offense and struggled. He went 4-9 as the starter and completed 57 percent of his passes with a 74.6 rating. “It’s fair to say there’s some things he needs to improve on and they’re quantifiable, whether it’s footwork, a better feel for the progressions, a better
feel for the targets he’s throwing to,” Shurmur said. “All of that gets refined when you have an offseason.” Shurmur said McCoy has a high ceiling. “Heck, I think he can be very good,” he said. “If he plays at a high level like I think he can when he makes these improvements, that means he can help us win football games. “As long as the players are here we’re not giving up on them. We believe that guys we have are going to help us win games and we’re going to develop them.”
