Violence erupts in Egypt CAIRO (AP) — Egyptian soldiers and police set fire to protest tents in Cairo’s Tahrir Square and fired tear gas and rubber bullets in a major assault Sunday to drive out thousands demanding that the military rulers quickly transfer power to a civilian government. At least 11 protesters were killed and hundreds were injured.

Aging in place Retirement communities may have their perks, but Beryl O’Connor says it would be tough to match the birthday surprise she got in her own backyard when she turned 80 this year.

She was tending her garden when two little girls from next door “my buddies,” she calls them brought her a strawberry shortcake. It underscored why she wants to stay put in the house that she and her husband, who died 18 years ago, purchased in the late 1970s. See Page 5.

time authoritarian leader Hosni Mubarak in February. The military took over the country, promising a swift transition to civilian rule. But the pro-democracy protesters who led the uprising have grown increasingly angry with the ruling generals, and suspect they are trying to cling to power even after an elected parliament is seated and a new president is voted in.

Street battles continued throughout the day and long into the night, spreading to side streets and sending a wave of

injuries to makeshift clinics on the streets.

The military-backed Cabinet said in a statement that elections set to begin on Nov. 28 would take place on time and thanked the police for their “restraint,” language that is likely to enrage the protesters even more.

“We’re not going anywhere,” protester Mohammed Radwan said after security forces tried unsuccessfully to push the

Panel at an impasse

Painting myself into a corner …

Debt committee poised to admit complete failure

Home improvement never has been my strong point.

It’s not that I can’t fix things — OK, it is partially because I can’t fix things. But it’s even more that I don’t have the patience for it. Whenever I start a project at home, it always takes about 10 times longer than I want it to.

Admittedly, I want every project to take 10 minutes, but that’s beside the point. See Page 4.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A special deficit-reduction supercommittee appears likely to admit failure today, unable or unwilling to compromise on a mix of spending cuts and tax increases required to meet its assignment of saving taxpayers at least $1.2 trillion over the coming decade.

The panel is sputtering to a close after two months of talks in which the members were never able to get close to bridging a fundamental divide over how much to raise taxes to address a budget deficit that forced the government to borrow 36 cents of every dollar it spent last year.

Study: Hearing loss linked to dementia Seniors with hearing loss are significantly more likely to develop dementia over time than those who retain their hearing, a study by Johns Hopkins and National Institute on Aging researchers suggests.

Although the reason for the link between the two conditions is unknown, the investigators suggest that a common pathology may underlie both or that the strain of decoding sounds over the years may overwhelm the brains of people with hearing loss, leaving them more vulnerable to dementia.

fter 15 years, Ryan Cool had reached the point where he figured his dreams weren’t going to come true.

But every time the Troy resident and Piqua High School graduate was going to call it quits, he would look at his two young boys, Drew and Logan, and know that giving up simply wasn’t an option.

“It’s kind of funny, I was talking to my wife Elizabeth and telling her, ‘If I haven’t hit it big yet, I don’t know that I’m ever going to hit it big — maybe it’s time for me to go out and get a real job.’ But I just stuck with it and I’m glad I did,” Cool said. “Now I know I can tell my two boys to follow their dreams — if they work hard enough and are persistent, their dreams can come true, too. It’s like I told Elizabeth, it goes to show you can get what you work for. This has been a goal of mine forever, but it was a one-in-a-million shot.

Honestly, it’s very rewarding. It’s everything I’ve worked for.”

In January, Cool’s dream — 15 years in the making — will finally come true. That’s when Cool, a videographer, will go on tour with country music star Josh Turner. It’s been a long journey for Cool, who

“Basically, I was in high school at a football game and saw the guys down on the sidelines taping the game for the news,” Cool said.

“That’s when I decided that’s what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. I really didn’t know anything about it. I just saw them on the sidelines and decided it looked interesting. At first I wanted to be a news videographer.”

Through some of his mother’s connections, Cool was able to land a job doing videographer work with

Time-Warner in Piqua while still in high school. When that co-op program came to an end, Cool would stay on with Time-Warner installing cable boxes in homes. He still refused to let his dream die, however.

With freelance videographer work difficult to come by, Cool would eventually start his own company, Take 2 Productions, which focused heavily on making recruiting videos for high school athletes to send out to colleges. He worked closely with his father-in-law, legendary local baseball coach Frosty Brown, producing recruitment videos for Brown’s players. While making recruitment videos, he also would get involved making memorial montage videos for local funeral homes. He would own Take 2 Productions for five years — from 2001-2006, before selling it and going back to accepting freelance videographer jobs.

Dream

LOTTERY

• CONTINUED FROM A1 It was around that time he began working every summer as a videographer at Country Concert in Fort Loramie. While Cool got the opportunity to shoot some of country music’s biggest stars, it would still be years before he was able to finally catch the break he needed.

When a company out of Hollywood took over videography duties for Country Concert, Cool was forced to take a job as a personal assistant for the company — meaning he would frequently have to pick up other videographers at the airport and transport them to the Country Concert.

“That was tough,” Cool said. “But I was willing to do whatever it took. I would always tell them, ‘If you ever need anything, I can do it for you.’ I had to show them how hard I was willing to work. I knew I was just as good as they were, but in this job, it doesn’t

always matter what skills set you have — a lot of times it’s a matter of who you know.

You have to make connections. But there’s a fine line you have to walk. You have to let them know you are willing to do whatever it takes, but you don’t want to annoy them, either.”

This year, Cool’s persistence finally paid of when Turner’s videography company put Cool on a “substitute” videographer list. He was able to shoot several tour dates for Turner — but even then, nothing permanent was ever guaranteed. Three weeks ago, however, Cool got the call he’s been waiting for — a permanent place on Turner’s videography team.

“When they called and asked me if I was interested, I was like, ‘Are you kidding? Of course I’m interested!’” Cool said.

Cool will begin touring with Turner fulltime in January. Because Turner has limited

tour dates compared to many other country music stars, Cool will typically go to Nashville on a Friday night, ride through the night on a tour bus and shoot a concert on Saturday. Then he’ll pack up Saturday night, sleep on the tour bus as it heads to the next stop Saturday night and shoot again on Sunday. While there will be longer tours, for the most part Cool will be able to spend the week in Troy with his family.

“Josh Turner is very family-oriented,” Cool said. “It’s great working with him. While there will be some longer tours where I may be gone for a week, for the most part I’ll still be able to be with my wife and kids. Josh Turner typically does about 90 shows a year — some artists, like Kenny Chesney, do 200 or more shows a year.”

Meaning Cool will be able to spend time with his sons — and let them see firsthand that sometimes dreams really do come true.

Egypt • CONTINUED FROM A1 crowds out of Tahrir, the epicenter of the uprising.

“The mood is good now and people are chanting again,” he added after many of the demonstrators returned.

The two days of clashes were some of the worst since the uprising ended on Feb. 11.

They were also one of only a few violent confrontations to involve the police since the uprising.

The black-clad police were a hated symbol of Mubarak’s regime and after the uprising, they have largely stayed in the background while the military took charge of security.

The military, which took over from Mubarak, has repeatedly pledged to hand power to an elected civilian government, but has yet to set a specific date. The protests over the past two days have demanded a specific date be set.

According to one timetable floated by the army, the handover will happen after presidential

elections late next year or early in 2013. The protesters say this is too long and accuse the military of dragging its feet. They want a handover immediately after the end of the staggered parliamentary elections, which begin on Nov. 28 and end in March.

The protesters’ suspicions about the military were fed by a proposal issued by the militaryappointed Cabinet last week. It would shield the armed forces from any civilian oversight and give the generals veto power over legislation dealing with military affairs.

But other concerns are also feeding the tensions on the street. Many Egyptians are anxious about what the impending elections will bring. Specifically they worry that stalwarts of Mubarak’s ruling party could win a significant number of seats in the next parliament because the military did not ban them from running for public office as requested by activists.

The military’s failure to issue such a ban has fed widely held suspicion that the generals are reluctant to dismantle the old regime, partly out of loyalty to Mubarak, their longtime mentor.

The Supreme Council of the Armed Forces issued a statement expressing “regret for the events.”

The council doesn’t intend “to extend the transitional period and will not permit by any means hindering the process of democratic transition,” it said a statement read out on state TV. The violence began Saturday when security forces stormed a sit-in at Tahrir Square staged by protesters wounded in clashes during the 18-day uprising in January and February and frustrated by the slow pace of bringing those responsible to justice.

The wounded, some on crutches, ran away when police attacked, but some fell down and were beaten by police.

One of those injured on

Saturday was dentist Ahmed Hararah, who lost the sight in his right eye on Jan. 28 and now thinks he lost the sight in his left eye despite treatment at an eye hospital in Cairo.

The violence resumed Sunday, when police fired tear gas and rubber bullets to try to clear about 5,000 protesters still in Tahrir.

Many chanted “freedom, freedom” as they pelted police with rocks and a white cloud of tear gas hung in the air.

“We have a single demand: The marshal must step down and be replaced by a civilian council,” said protester Ahmed Hani, referring to Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi, head of the ruling military council and Mubarak’s longtime defense minister. “The violence yesterday showed us that Mubarak is still in power,” said Hani, who was wounded in the forehead by a rubber bullet.

Many of the protesters had red eyes and coughed incessantly. Some wore surgical masks to ward off the

tear gas. A few fainted, overwhelmed by the gas.

Around sundown, an Associated Press reporter in Tahrir said police and troops briefly chased the protesters out of most of the square. They set at least a dozen of the protesters’ tents, along with blankets and banners, ablaze after nightfall and a pall of black smoke rose over the square as the sound of gunshots rang out.

“This is what they (the military) will do if they rule the country,” one protester screamed while running away from the approaching security forces.

Protesters initially ran away in panic while being chased by army soldiers and police hitting them with clubs. But they later regrouped at the southern entrance of the square next to the famed Egyptian museum and began to walk back to the square.

Hundreds made their way back, waving the red, white and black Egyptian flags and chanting “Allahu akbar,” or God is great.

Aides said any remaining talks had broken off.

“There is one sticking divide. And that’s the issue of what I call shared sacrifice,” said panel co-chair Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

on taxes were simply too great and weren’t accompanied by large enough proposals to curb the explosive growth of socalled entitlement programs like Medicare and Medicaid.

“If you look at the Democrats’ position it was ‘We have to raise taxes. We have to pass this jobs bill, which is another almost half-trillion dollars. And we’re not excited about entitlement reform,’ ” countered Republican Jon Kyl of Arizona on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

Under the committee’s rules, any plan would have to be unveiled Monday, but it appeared that Murray and co-chair Rep. Jeb Hensarling of Texas would instead issue a statement declaring the panel’s work at a close, aides said.

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Commercial Appeal, Memphis, Tenn., on gasoline prices: In these tough economic times, the last thing Americans need to hear is that gasoline prices could rise to record levels next year.

A combination of global demand and rising U.S. fuel exports could ignite the price surge, according to analysts.

According to the Department of Energy, average gasoline prices are higher by nearly 56 cents per gallon than at this time last year.

The possible hike is a scary proposition as America struggles with persistent high unemployment, and more and more Americans struggle to pay their mortgages and put food on the table.

Higher prices could squeeze more citizens out of the American dream.

Higher fuel prices not only impact motorists, but could put more financial pressure on airlines, which will likely increase airfares to deal with higher fuel As I prices.

Spanier was fired after it came to light that a graduate assistant for the football team had reported one attack by Sandusky on a young boy that reached the university’s president, who then did nothing. Spanier denies he was ever aware of the charge.

Paterno was fired for his inadequate response to Sandusky’s misbehavior.

“In order for evil to flourish, all that is required is for good men to do nothing,” the great British parliamentarian Edmund Burke once said.

Add to that a quote attributed to Dante, “The hottest places in Hell are reserved for those who in time of great moral crises maintain their neutrality.”

There are two aspects of this scandal. Once concerns the monstrous behavior toward youngsters that is alleged to have been perpetrated by retired Coach Sandusky.

The other wider scandal concerns the failure to proactively deal with Sandusky.

No question of the greatness of Joe Paterno as a football coach.

His record is secure in that respect.

Whether simply having reported the allegations regarding Sandusky’s behavior absolves him of responsibility is a question whose answer is yet to be determined.

DOONESBURY

Painting myself into a corner with projects Home improvement never has been my strong point.

It’s not that I can’t fix things – OK, it is partially because I can’t fix things. But it’s even more that I don’t have the patience for it.

Whenever I start a project at home, it always takes about 10 times longer than I want it to.

Admittedly, I want every project to take 10 minutes, but that’s beside the point.

So it was with great trepidation last week that I agreed to my wife’s request to paint our bedroom. We bought the paint and supplies and on Friday night I enlisted the help of a son to move the furniture and start painting.

I didn’t realize how much stuff we had in the bedroom. We moved furniture to the basement and plants to another room. We filled up the house with things from the bedroom. Then we started on the ceiling and the trim. This went pretty smoothly, except for the fact that I hate painting ceilings because I never get them right and there’s always a place or two that doesn’t look quite right. I don’t have the patience for ceilings.

The next day we were back at it around noon. My son and I talked

David Lindeman Troy Daily News Columnist and listened to music as we worked and all went well until those moments when we were concentrating and things got quiet, giving me a moment to think.

That’s when I get all philosophical about painting.

What am I doing here, I ask myself. In the cosmic order scorecard of the universe, the color of your bedroom doesn’t rank real high. In 50 years when one of my descendants or a perfect stranger is living in my house, they won’t care what color the bedroom was when I lived there. I could paint my bedroom bright pink with green stripes and hardly anyone in the world would care – except for my wife, of course, which does matter a little bit. Besides, painting stripes would be hard.

— Pat Groff Troy

If I weren’t spending my Saturday afternoon painting, I could be out doing something constructive for society. This generally ends my thought process, since I have to admit that if I wasn’t painting I’d just be out doing something for myself.

It is almost 5 o’clock and we are close to finished when in an unguarded moment I say, “Hey, the lady at the paint store said I would need two gallons. We’re going to have a bunch left.”

My wife overhears this comment and I see that light in her eye. “Great,” she says, “we can paint the closet.”

This is no ordinary closet. This is a walk-in closet with lots of shelves and racks and things that are hard to paint around.

“I don’t know,” I say, “maybe we should save the paint in case a meteorite hits the house and we have to repaint.”

“Come on,” she says, “help me move this stuff out. You don’t want to waste all that paint, do you?”

“Oh no,” I say, “we belong to the painters’ union. We’re skilled labor. We have to keep painting. If you want that closet painted, you have to move the stuff out yourself.”

“OK,” she says, and a minute later she comes out with an armful of clothes. Those are mine.

Then she makes 327 more trips with clothes. Those are hers. My son breaks down and helps her move out boxes and bags and who knows what else. It’s like that scene in Harry Potter when they go into the little tent and inside there’s an entire mansion. How could all those things be in that closet?

So we go to work on the closet, which goes a little faster because, after all, it is a closet. It is mostly trim work, though, so it’s not until 8 p.m. that I holster my roller.

I have to admit, it does look better. But my back hurts and my arm with the bursitis is acting up, so I’ll have to ice it down. And there are a few other things that are starting to work on my philosophical mind. I know the bathroom floor needs replaced and the kitchen faucet has a problem and now that the bedroom looks so good, there are other rooms in the house that need to be repainted, too. It’s going to be a long winter.

Study: Hearing loss linked to dementia For the Troy Daily News Seniors with hearing loss are significantly more likely to develop dementia over time than those who retain their hearing, a study by Johns Hopkins and National Institute on Aging researchers suggests.

Although the reason for the link between the two conditions is unknown, the investigators suggest that a common pathology may underlie both or that the strain of decoding sounds over the years may overwhelm the brains of people with hearing loss, leaving them more vulnerable to dementia.

Social isolation, a known risk factor for dementia and other cognitive disorders, is often times a result of hearing loss.

The longitudinal study, published in the Archives of Neurology, focused on 639 individuals whose hearing and cognitive abilities were tested over time. The volunteers were followed with repeat examinations every one to two years.

The researchers found

that study participants with hearing loss at the beginning of the study were significantly more likely to develop dementia by the end. Compared with volunteers with normal hearing, those with mild hearing loss had a two-fold risk of developing dementia over time.

Those with a moderate threefold risk and those with a severe hearing loss had a five-fold risk. The more hearing loss participants had, the higher the likelihood of developing the memory-robbing disease.

Dr. Lucille P. Hosfeld, clinical audiologist with Beltone Hearing & Audiology Service located in Piqua, said “A lot of people ignore hearing loss because it is such a slow, gradual change sensitivity impairment that occurs as we age. Hearing problems, in fact, often are accepted as an inevitable part of aging. Even if people feel as if they are not affected, this research is showing that it may well be a more serious problem.”

The scientists reported that these findings may offer a starting point for

Aging in place: a little help can go a long way

MARTHA E. TOLLEFSON

Pifher, Verona’s health coordinator, said a crucial part of the overall initiative is educating older people to plan ahead realistically and constantly reassess their prospects for successfully aging in place.

“There are some people who just can do it, especially if they have family support,” said Pifher, “And then you run into people who think they can do it, yet really can’t. You need to start educating people before a crisis hits.”

There’s no question that aging in place has broad appeal. According to an Associated PressLifeGoesStrong.com poll conducted in October, 52 percent of baby boomers said they were unlikely to move someplace new in retirement. In a 2005 survey by AARP, 89 percent of people age 50 and older said they would prefer to remain in their home indefinitely as they age.

That yearning, coupled with a widespread dread of going to a nursing home, has led to a nationwide surge of programs aimed at helping people stay in their neighborhoods longer.

Verona LIVE is a version of one such concept: the Naturally Occurring Retirement Community, or NORC. That can be either a specific housing complex or a larger neighborhood in which many of the residents have aged in place over a long period of time and need a range of support services in order to continue living in their homes.

Verona is an apt setting.

Roughly 20 percent of its residents are over 65, compared with 13 percent for New Jersey as a whole.

Another notable initiative is the “village” concept.

Members of these nonprofit entities can access specialized programs and services,

such as transportation to stores, home health care, or help with household chores, as well as a network of social activities with other members.

About 65 village organizations have formed in the U.S. in recent years, offering varying services and charging membership fees that generally range between $500 and $700 a year.

One of the potential problems for people hoping to age in place is that their homes may not be seniorfriendly “It becomes a challenge because we live in Peter Pan houses, designed for people who never grow old,” said Susan Bosak, a social scientist who is overseeing a program to boost intergenerational engagement in Tulsa, Okla.

Many older people live in homes that are 40 or more years old, abounding with narrow interior doorways, hard-to-reach kitchen cupboards and potentially hazardous bathroom fixtures.

“If you’re a boomer person, with money to remodel, think about making your house more userfriendly, not just more beautiful, for when you have your knee replacement or a chronic condition,” said Nancy Thompson of AARP. “We’re talking smart, convenient. It doesn’t have to look institutional or utilitarian.”

FUNERAL DIRECTORY • Eva C. Compton PIQUA — Eva C. Compton, 59, of Piqua, passed away Saturday, Nov. 19,

2011, at Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton. Arrangements are pending at Melcher-Sowers Funeral Home, Piqua.

Theodore Forstmann, big in 1980s takeover wave, dies NEW YORK (AP) — Theodore J. Forstmann, a longtime Wall Street financier who was a major player during the wave of corporate takeovers in the 1980s, including the battle for RJR Nabisco in 1988, died Sunday at the age of 71.

The cause was brain cancer, according to a statement from sports marketing giant IMG, where Forstmann served as chairman and CEO. Forstmann was the senior founding partner of investment firm Forstmann Little & Co., one of the pioneers of the leveraged buyout, or LBO, a deal financed at least in part with debt. The company completed dozens of leveraged buyouts of a wide array of companies, including Dr. Pepper, Yankee Candle, baseball card maker Topps, ZiffDavis Publishing and IMG. Forstmann Little, founded in 1978, would buy companies it believed would rise in value, do what it could to lift their value and then sell them.

In the 1980s, the firm had become one of Wall Street’s most successful specialists in LBOs. Its deals generated lofty returns for its partners and outside investors, which included many corporate pension funds.

In a 1996 interview with The Associated Press, Forstmann said his interest in dealmaking was sparked in childhood, while e

reading a biography of Howard Hughes.

“This guy loved doing deals,” Forstmann said of Hughes.

Forstmann went to Yale University as an undergraduate, then on to Columbia University for law school. He spent some time as an attorney before establishing Forstmann Little & Co., with then-partner Brian Little.

Forstmann’s first takeovers were small ones, as he only had so much money to spend. Things picked up as the 1980s unfolded and the firm’s successes brought in more investors.

“I never went to business school. I was basically never in an investment banking firm worthy of mentioning,” Forstmann told the AP. “I’ve always been a guy who had ideas.”

Forstmann Little used bank loans and its own funds to finance acquisitions. It eschewed the high-yield “junk bonds” many other firms used to supplement their own money.

In 1988, Forstmann made clear his distaste for deal making greased by junk bonds, which he considered to be too risky.

The AP quoted him as saying “Today’s financial age has become a period of unbridled excess with accepted risk soaring out of proportion to possible reward.”

Rosanne and Ira Bornstein stand outside their home Nov. 10 in Verona, N.J. The Bornstein’s, both in their 60’s, are among a group of seniors who are embracing the concept of “aging in place” maximizing the prospects for growing old in one’s own longtime home rather than move to a retirement community or assisted-living facility.

TIPP CITY — Martha E. Tollefson, 86, of Tipp City, died Tuesday, Nov. 8, 2011.

She was a member of Shiloh Church and the Wilmington Friends Meetings.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Robert J. and Pearl (Warren ) McMillan, and a brother, Rex McMillan.

VERONA, N.J. (AP) — Retirement communities may have their perks, but Beryl O’Connor says it would be tough to match the birthday surprise she got in her own backyard when she turned 80 this year.

She was tending her garden when two little girls from next door “my buddies,” she calls them brought her a strawberry shortcake. It underscored why she wants to stay put in the house that she and her husband, who died 18 years ago, purchased in the late 1970s.

“I couldn’t just be around old people that’s not my lifestyle,” she said. “I’d go out of my mind.”

Physically spry and socially active, O’Connor in many respects is the embodiment of “aging in place,” growing old in one’s own longtime home and remaining engaged in the community rather than moving to a retirement facility.

According to surveys, aging in place is the overwhelming preference of Americans over 50. But doing it successfully requires both good fortune and support services things that O’Connor’s pleasant hometown of Verona has become increasingly capable of providing.

About 10 miles northwest of Newark, Verona has roughly 13,300 residents nestled into less than 3 square miles. There’s a transportation network that takes older people on shopping trips and to medical appointments, and the town is benefiting from a $100,000 federal grant to put in place an aging-inplace program called Verona LIVE. Administrated by United Jewish Communities of MetroWest New Jersey, the program strives to educate older people about available services to help them address problems and stay active in the community. Its partners include the health and police departments, the rescue squad, the public and public schools, and religious groups.

Among the support services are a home maintenance program with free safety checks and minor home repairs, access to a social worker and job counselor, a walking club and other social activities. In one program, a group of middle-school girls provided one-on-one computer training to about 20 older adults.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

‘Kathleen’ is unlikely to change her ways Dear Annie: For the past three years, I have been in a committed relationship with "Kathleen." We truly love each other, and I have been like a father to her 10-yearold son, "Brandon."

The problem is, Kathleen is 46 and still lives at home with a mother who rules the roost. Mom has been hostile toward me from the get-go and has done everything possible to drive me out of her daughter's life, even spreading rumors that I was a pedophile.

Mom tries to convince Kathleen that I'm not good enough because I've been divorced twice and don't make a six-figure income. She controls Kathleen's agenda and makes sure she is available only one evening a week. I am not welcome in their home because "Gramma" locks herself in her bedroom until I leave, which makes Kathleen feel stressed and guilty.

I have tried to win Mom over by being polite and giving her flowers and birthday and Christmas gifts. I even offered to go with her to see her priest, but she refused. I have gone out of my way to defer to her, but it doesn't help. Kathleen feels caught in the middle.

We have talked about living together. Kathleen is accustomed to not paying rent or worrying about property taxes and home repairs, and wants to remain in her mother's house. I offered to let Mom stay with us, wherever we are, but Kathleen says her mother would never accept living in the same house with me.

I am 58, and my patience is wearing thin. I love Kathleen, but am not hopeful about the situation. Are there options I am unaware of? — Discouraged Dear Discouraged: Kathleen is quite comfortable living rentfree with her mother and having a loving boyfriend who provides a father figure for her son. She has everything she needs. If you are happy to continue dating her, that is one solution. But if you want marriage or cohabitation, it's not going to happen.

Dear Annie: A year ago, my husband and I were given a surprise 25th anniversary party. It was wonderful. Family and friends gave generously of their time.

However, not one member of my husband's family came to the event. Nor did they RSVP or send a card.

His family lives a few miles away in the same town. We attend their family events when invited.

It still bothers me a year later that they overlooked our anniversary. What should I do? — Hurt and Resentful in Vermont Dear Hurt: Is it possible there was a mix-up with the invitations or RSVPs? These things happen more often than you think. If that's not the case, please talk to your husband and ask him to find out whether there is some problem with his family of which you are unaware. Perhaps he can discover what is going on and the two of you can take steps to fix things.

Otherwise, we suspect you will stew over this for a long time, and that certainly won't help relations with the in-laws.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from "Confused," who was upset because her best friend's dog has the same name as her deceased father. It always amazes me how things affect people in a different way.

The day we buried my husband's mother, we found a beautiful stray calico cat on our doorstep after returning from the service.

She managed to wrap my husband around her tiny little paws in a matter of days, and we all loved her. My husband felt a special bond with this cat, and perhaps because his mother loved cats, he named her "Bessie" after his mother.

This sweet, precious kitty helped all of us get through the loss of a wonderful woman. It was never considered anything other than a tribute to a sweet lady we all loved. — Kathy in Kentucky Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

SATURDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Reader reminisces about Heloise’s hair Dear Heloise: Happy combined 50th anniversary of Heloise/ Heloise! I was born and raised in Honolulu, but now have been living on the Mainland for many decades (my wife and I got married and bid “Aloha” to the islands in 1964).

During the summers of 1960 and 1961, while a student at the University of Hawaii, I worked for The Honolulu Advertiser, first as an office boy and then as a temporary payroll bookkeeper. One day during my second summer, I noticed this seemingly energetic haole woman scurrying along the hallway. An adjacent co-worker told me that she was Heloise, who wrote a column for the newspaper.

What I noticed most about

Hints from Heloise Columnist Heloise was the color of her hair.

But time has faded the exact color from my memory.

Was it pink, orange or green?

Or all of the above at different times? Aloha! — George Arita, Oak View, Calif.

Aloha, George! Thanks so much for sharing your memory of my mother, the original Heloise (1919-1977). She did like to spray

her hair to match her outfit.

When she first started this column, more than 50 years ago, she colored her hair silver so she would look older and wiser! But as the years went on, green, sapphire blue and orchid were her favorites.

So, it doesn’t surprise me, because you could have seen her with any of the above colors. I can remember her with purple hair!

Visit www.Heloise.com to see her.

Thanks for your letter — you made me smile. — Heloise FAST FACTS Dear Readers: Handy uses for wallpaper scraps: • Frame sections and use as wall art in other rooms.

• Cover books to protect them.

• Laminate and use as place mats.

• Line shelves and drawers.

• Use as wrapping paper.

— Heloise MICROWAVE AS BREADBOX Dear Heloise: On reading your recent remarks about discarding outworn kitchen items, my wife hastened to object by pointing to a familiar beauty that’s still in the kitchen.

A burned-out microwave oven is an excellent and handy place to hold bread, cookies, crackers, etc.

Our smart “breadbox” was designed to live in the kitchen. Even with idle coils, it’s real cool. — Harold Whittington, Temple, Texas

ARLO AND JANIS

HOROSCOPE Monday, Nov. 21, 2011 During the next year, an opportunity might develop for you to take advantage of a little-known program that could increase your financial wherewithal. If it checks out, go for it in a quiet manner.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Find yourself an environment that is free from outside interference, and you’ll have one of your more productive days. Shut the door and check your emails later.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Your farsightedness is remarkable, and it could help you visualize exactly the right game plan to follow.

Work on some future hopes that you’d like to bring into being.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — It’s not always possible, but your perspicuity could help you visualize what’s coming down the line, which will aid you in marshaling the appropriate forces.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Have confidence in your own convictions. If you believe you have a good idea for something, don’t let others discourage you from following through on it.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Watch out for someone who tries to get you to change something that is of personal benefit in order to make it into a windfall for them. Of course, they won’t phrase it that way.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — If you’re reluctant to make a necessary decision in a timely manner, someone whom you’d disapprove of is likely to step up and make that call for you.

Don’t let that happen.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Dedicate your time and effort to the tasks that you dislike doing the most. The relief it would give you will be a huge weight off your shoulders.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Even if you have a full schedule planned, try to find a bit of time to enjoy a momentarily pleasurable pursuit. The relief would give you the energy to happily continue onward.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Try not to get yourself involved in a project that once started demands to be finished. If you do, make sure your entire day is cleared to do nothing else.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — If you learn that some information you have at your disposal would be of tremendous help to another, do your best to get it to that person. Chances are you’d make a friend for life.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Being prudent is likely to ensure that you’ll be able to enjoy success and the finer things down the line. When that time comes, you’ll be glad of your sensible behavior.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Once you make an important, carefully considered decision, have the courage of your convictions to stand by your resolution. Being wishy-washy won’t help anyone.

The owner of the kindergarten, Li Jungang, has been formally arrested on suspicion of causing traffic casualties, the Procuratorial Daily, the top prosecutor’s official newspaper, said in a report on its website.

Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees).

The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount.

While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks.

Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable.

If you have questions regarding scams like these or others, please contact the Ohio Attorney General’s office at (800)282-0515.

Graphic Designer: Scarlett Smith

Fitness Pledge As a family, create a weekly exercise plan by brainstorming and making a list of physical activities that everyone will enjoy. Coordinate your schedules to block out an hour each day and track your progress throughout the week.

Part 2 - Continued Hey Kids! We want you to take part in our “Healthy Is Cool” program this year. Fill out the pledge and mail to: Dana Wolfe (NIE Coordinator), 224 S. Market St., Troy, OH 45373. You’ll be entered to win great prizes in our fitness pledge program! Deadline for entry forms is May 2, 2012.

Family discussion: Once you’ve completed the first week of your new fitness plan, have a family meeting. How did things go? What worked? What didn’t? What changes need to be made, and what should stay the same for the next week?

What new activities should be added?

Yoga for the younger generation Yoga Is For Everybody Yoga is a Hindu discipline of exercises practiced to promote control of the body and aimed at training the consciousness for a state of perfect spiritual insight and tranquility. Yoga is not a religion. Yoga is a philosophy of life. Yoga is for everybody. Everyone can do yoga, but most think of it as twisting the body into knots. Yoga is a safe, effective way to achieve overall fitness for everyone.

Benefits of Yoga The more you practice yoga, the more benefits you will notice. Breathing techniques improve oxygen intake, making the lungs more efficient. Stretching lengthens the muscles increasing flexibility. The poses use body weight to strengthen and tone the muscles. The breathing and flow of the poses brings about a calmer and clearer mind, which reduces stress. While in the poses, concentration on body positioning, helps with improved posture on and off the yoga mat. The contemplative mind-body connection lessens the chance of injury, whether that can be in athletics or everyday activities.

Overall Fitness A metabolic exchange occurs during physical activity when the breathing pattern comes into play. Yoga’s rhythm of inhaling and exhaling during physical activity brings oxygen to the muscles for better performance. Some exercise programs concentrate on muscle bulk in specific areas of the body, while yoga offsets the unevenness by offering a complete and balanced mind-body workout for all muscle groups. Yoga also helps with the mental game through mindfulness and meditation.

As a family, we promise to take care of our bodies by working together to: • Get 60 minutes of daily exercise • Limit our sugar intake and avoid products that include high-fructose corn syrup (drinks, candy, snacks) • Drink more water (8-10 glasses each day) • Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits • Limit screen time by turning off the TV, computer and gaming systems • Praise one another for a job well done • Track our progress Being active is good for the entire family! To help you and your family commit to being healthy and fit, complete and sign the health pledge below. Once it’s complete, send to: Dana Wolfe (NIE Coordinator), 224 S. Market St., Troy, OH 45373.

Exercise To Win You’ll be entered to win our fitness pledge grand prize!

My family and I pledge to spend ____ minutes ____ times per week exercising together. We will do this through the following activities:

HeALthy Is Cool!

The Brain & Nervous System The brain manages your body and controls almost everything you do, even when you are asleep. It runs the nervous system (along with spinal cord and nerves) and connects the inside of your body to the outside world.

How many jobs does your brain have?

• It controls your breathing, heart rate, body temperature and blood pressure.

• It handles your body’s movement (telling your muscles when and how to move) and controls balance and coordination (how your muscles work together).

• It receives information from your senses and stores it in your memory bank (seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, touching).

• It lets you feel emotions, talk, think, remember and dream.

Your brain gives your body the power to be a super kid.

Without it, you couldn’t walk, run, ride a bike, skateboard, dribble a basketball, swim or learn. You need your brain to be active and strong, so make sure you and your family: • Eat healthy and nutritions

foods. Look for foods that contain calcium and potassium, two important minerals for your nervous system.

• Exercise and play, move your body and have fun!

• Wear a helmet when you ride your bike or play sports that require one.

• Keep your body clean by not drinking alcohol, taking drugs or using tobacco.

• Do challenging activities such as reading, solving puzzles, playing math games, learning an instrument, creating artwork or playing educational board games that make you think!

BRAIN TEASER ACTIVIT Y: A brain teaser is a puzzle that takes concentration to solve.

protect your super brain

Did You Know?

• The spinal cord is a long bundle of nerve tissue about 18 inches long and 3/4 inch thick.

• The human brain, considering everything it does, is incredibly compact weighing just 3 pounds.

• At birth, the nervous system contains all the neurons you will ever have.

• Olfactory cells in the mucous membranes lining each nostril react to chemicals we breathe in and send messages along specific nerves to the brain — which, according to experts, can distinguish between more than 10,000 different smells.

• When you are doing a math problem, you’re using the left side of your brain; when you are listening to music, you’re using the right side.

If you ride a bike or play sports, your are at the top of the risk list for head injuries.

Falls are the most common cause of playground head injuries, more than bikes and auto accidents combined. To protect your head, make sure you click your seat belt in the car, wear your helmet when riding your bike, and be safe when playing sports and climbing on the jungle gym at school or the park.

16 year old Sophomore Troy High School • Reserve soccer team • Freshman tennis • Soccer referee Q: What types of food fuel your body?

Q: How did your family instill health and fitness into daily life?

A: My mother has always made me and my brothers eat healthy foods.

Parents and grandparents have shown an example that fitness can be obtained at any age.

Q: How often do you work out each week?

A: Daily, I try not to miss a day of working out, no matter if it’s off season, I try to always stay active.

BALTIMORE (AP) — An uncharacteristic performance by the Baltimore Ravens defense was offset by an uncommonly effective outing by Joe Flacco and the team’s oft-criticized offense.

Flacco threw for 270 yards and two touchdowns, rookie Torrey Smith had six catches for 165 yards, and Baltimore moved into first place in the AFC North with a nerve-racking 31-24 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.

Playing without middle linebacker Ray Lewis for the first time in 58 games, the Ravens (73) nearly blew a 17-point lead in the final 14 minutes, yielded 483 yards and let rookie quarterback Andy Dalton throw for 373.

But Baltimore got 104 yards rushing and two touchdowns from Ray Rice, and the defense made big plays when it counted most. After Rice was stuffed on a third-and-1 with just over two minutes left, he remained confident.

“I just looked at the clock and I said, ‘Our defense will get it

done,’” he recalled. “That’s the faith I have in our guys.”

Even without Lewis, who watched from the sideline after being placed on the inactive list with a toe injury. The Ravens’ spiritual leader and leading tackler saw his unit pick off three passes and turn in a game-saving goal-line stand in the final minute.

Down 31-24, Cincinnati reached the Baltimore 7 before Terrell Suggs collared Dalton, who was called for intentional grounding. On fourth-and-goal, Dalton was sacked by Pernell McPhee.

The Bengals (6-4) needed seven points because on the previous series, an apparent 9-yard touchdown pass from Dalton to Jermaine Gresham was overturned by a replay that determined the receiver didn’t hold onto the ball at the end of a juggling catch. The Bengals settled for a field goal with 5:32 remaining.

“When the receiver went to the ground, he had the ball in his right hand,” referee Ron Winter said. “The ball touched

the ground and his hand came off the ball.”

Baltimore is locked in a firstplace tie with Pittsburgh in the AFC North, but the Ravens own the tiebreaker by virtue of their two wins over the Steelers.

“No. 1 in the division, that’s huge,” Suggs said. “Now we’re the master of our destiny.”

The Ravens won in part because of Smith, whose 165 yards were third-most by a receiver in Ravens history. He might have had more if Adam Jones didn’t grab hold of Smith’s long dreadlocks at the end of a 28-yard completion in the second quarter.

Jones was initially flagged for a horse-collar tackle, but officials corrected themselves and did not mark off any yardage because it’s legal to tackle a runner by pulling his hair.

Even though it wasn’t a banner day for the Baltimore defense, its three interceptions set up two touchdowns.

“Whenever we can get turnovers, it definitely makes

And Donathan was a big part in helping the Tigers’ cause, leading the team in assists with 22. Donathan also netted three kills, four digs and one ace.

Christine Simpson led Wittenberg with 13 kills.

Wittenberg’s tournament run began with a 3-0 win over California Lutheran in the quarterfinals on Friday. The Tigers then knocked off Eastern by a score of 3-0 on Saturday in the semifinals. Wittenberg didn’t drop a single set during its run to the title.

In three games over the weekend, Donathan had 54 assists, 13 digs and eight kills.

The Tigers finish the season with a record of 37-3.

• Louisville’s Season Ends MEMPHIS — Troy graduate Erin Yenney’s freshman season at Louisville came to an end on Sunday, as the Cardinals were defeated by No. 9 Florida State, 2-0, in the third round of the NCAA tournament.

The game was evenly matched in terms of shots on goal, with Florida State having 12 to Louisville’s 11. The Seminoles, however, were able to capitalize on their shots, scoring once on a Kassey Kallman goal at 23:56 and adding another at the 76:48 mark of the second half, which came off the foot of Tiffany McCarty.

The Cardinals broke the school’s single season wins record, and end the year with a record of 14-7-3.

HOMESTEAD, Fla. (AP) — Tony Stewart insisted he wasn’t a title contender when NASCAR’s championship race began.

When it became clear he actually was a viable threat, he kicked it into another gear and vowed to go for broke in his pursuit of Carl Edwards.

Did he ever.

Stewart used a powerful and relentless drive some might suggest the best in NASCAR history on Sunday in the season finale to seize his third NASCAR championship. He overcame a hole in the grill of his Chevrolet, a rain delay, used debatable fuel strate-

gy and made 118 passes on the track to win at HomesteadMiami Speedway.

Edwards, who started the race with a three-point lead in the standings, did everything he could from the minute he arrived in Florida. His Roush-Fenway Racing team put his Ford on the pole, he led a race-high 119 of the 267 laps and still finished a helpless second.

Browns edge Jaguars, 14-10 CLEVELAND (AP) — Colt McCoy took a knee on Cleveland’s sideline, closed his eyes and the young quarterback asked for some help from above.

This week, the Browns got it.

“There’s nothing wrong with praying,” McCoy said.

Jacksonville rookie quarterback Blaine Gabbert’s pass into the end zone on the game’s last play was incomplete, allowing the Browns to escape with a 1410 win over the Jaguars on AP PHOTO Sunday.

and caromed off wide receiver Mike Thomas’ outstretched hands, and the Browns (4-6) celebrated a win they nearly gave away.

“We deserved this one,” McCoy said. “Our team deserved this.”

Last week, the Browns lost 13-12 to the St. Louis Rams when Cleveland botched a snap and reliable kicker Phil Dawson missed a 22-yard field goal try. This one nearly ended under simcircumstances as ilar Jacksonville’s final drive was set up by Dawson missing a 38-yarder that sailed over the top of the right post.

time it went our way,” said Browns linebacker D’Qwell Jackson, who covered Thomas tightly on the final play. “We knew it was up to us. Right there. We had to make the play and we did.”

McCoy shook off an apparent shoulder injury and threw a 3-yard TD pass to Josh Cribbs in the fourth to give Cleveland a 14-10 lead. But Dawson’s stunning miss with 2:49 left gave the Jaguars (3-7) a final chance and Gabbert, who had some good and bad moments, nearly pulled off the comeback.

“It’s not the ending we were looking for,” said Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio,

who defended his use of the clock in the final minute.

“It’s not the first time this year we’ve had the opportunity. We’re really looking for that breakout, game-winning drive. We had a chance for our quarterback to take us down. He took us down.

We were knocking on the door. We just couldn’t close it out.”

Chris Ogbonnaya rushed for 115 yards and scored on a 1-yard run for Cleveland, ending a TD drought at home that lasted more than 158 minutes. The Browns had scoring drives of 87 and 85 yards, rarities in the offense’s first season under coach Pat Shurmur.

Nascar ■ CONTINUED FROM 14 Edwards’ one.

Stewart became the first owner/driver to win the championship since the late Alan Kulwicki in 1992, and the driver to end Jimmie Johnson’s record five-year title run. His last title was in 2005, the year before Johnson’s began his reign.

“Are you kidding me?”

Stewart asked in Victory Lane. “We said all week we’d just go out and win the race and didn’t have to worry about what (Edwards) did. If this doesn’t go down as one of the greatest championship battles in history, I don’t know what will.

“If this doesn’t go down as one of the greatest championship battles in history, I don’t know what is.”

Edwards was disappointed but held his head high after the race.

“This night is about Tony Stewart. Those guys rose to the occasion, and they beat us fair and square,” Edwards said.

“That is all I had. We came here and sat on the pole, led the most laps and Tony still managed. That’s it. That’s all I got at the end. That’s as hard as I can drive.

“I told my wife, ‘If I can’t win this thing, I’m going to be the best loser NASCAR has ever had.’ So, I’m going to try really hard to keep my head up and know that we’ll just go next year and we’ll be just as hard to beat.”

As third-place finisher Martin Truex Jr. did his post-race news conference, Edwards sat silently off to the side, his eyes fixated on a bank of televisions showing Stewart’s championship celebration.

“If I could do it all over again, there’s nothing I could have done differently,” he whispered. “That’s my maximal effort, and Tony beat us. We knew that of all the circumstances possible, this was the least probable. But I was prepared for this.”

Edwards, despite being the most consistent driver this season and points leader for 21 weeks, has been on the ropes the last month as Stewart turned up his energy, effort and trash-talking. His quick wit and sharp tongue kept the entire industry entertained as he did everything possible to get inside Edwards’ head.

Green Bay tops Tampa Woods nets GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Aaron Rodgers threw three touchdown passes and Green Bay survived a scare to remain unbeaten.

With the Packers leading by two points and trying to fend off a rally by Tampa Bay in the fourth quarter, Rodgers found Jordy Nelson for a clinching 40yard touchdown with 2:55 left in the game Nelson’s second TD catch of the day.

The Packers ran their record to 10-0, leaving them as the NFL’s lone undefeated team going into a Thanksgiving Day matchup at Detroit.

49ERS 23, CARDINALS 7 SAN FRANCISCO — Alex Smith threw for 267 yards and two touchdowns and San Francisco forced five turnovers on a soggy day at Candlestick Park.

Smith tossed scores to Kyle Williams and Vernon Davis on the first two drives of the third quarter to help the 49ers pull away for their eighth straight victory. San Francisco (9-1) can clinch the NFC West with a win at Baltimore on Thursday and a loss by Seattle against Washington next weekend.

BEARS 31, CHARGERS 20 CHICAGO — Jay Cutler threw for 286 yards and two touchdowns, and Chicago won its fifth straight.

Chicago (7-3) continued its remarkable turnaround and handed the Chargers their fifth straight loss,

their longest slide since an 0-5 start in 2003. But it wasn’t easy.

FALCONS 23, TITANS 17 ATLANTA — Roddy White had seven receptions for a season-high 147 yards and Jonathan Babineaux led an Atlanta defense that held off Tennessee.

The Falcons (6-4) bounced back from an overtime loss to New Orleans, but it wasn’t easy. Jake Locker took over for injured Matt Hasselbeck and threw a pair of touchdown passes to Nate Washington to make a game of it for the Titans (5-5).

COWBOYS 27, REDSKINS 24 OT LANDOVER, Md. — Dan Bailey kicked a 39yard field goal 9:21 into overtime to give Dallas its third straight win.

The Cowboys rallied after allowing a late fourthquarter touchdown and improved to 6-4, keeping the pressure on the firstplace New York Giants in the NFC East.

The Redskins lost their sixth straight, their longest skid since their 0-7 start in 1998. They sent the game to overtime on Rex Grossman’s 4-yard fade pass to Donte’ Stallworth with 14 seconds remaining in regulation.

RAIDERS 27, VIKINGS 21 MINNEAPOLIS — Carson Palmer threw for 164 yards and a touchdown and Oakland capitalized on

several mistakes by Minnesota.

Michael Bush rushed for 109 yards and a touchdown for the Raiders (6-4).

Raiders receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey was carted off the field with a neck injury in the fourth quarter.

Coach Hue Jackson said Heyward-Bey had total movement in his limbs, and hoped the player would join the team on the trip home and undergo further tests in Oakland.

DOLPHINS 35, BILLS 8 MIAMI — Miami set up two touchdowns with interceptions, Matt Moore threw for three scores, and the Dolphins’ improbable midseason surge gained momentum.

After losing their first seven games, the Dolphins (3-7) have three consecutive victories for the first time since 2008, winning by a combined score of 86-20.

Buffalo (5-5) has been outscored 106-26 while losing three in a row.

LIONS 49, PANTHERS 35 DETROIT — Matthew Stafford’s fifth touchdown pass of the game, a 7-yarder to Brandon Pettigrew with 2:32 left, completed another big rally.

Detroit (7-3) became the first NFL team since at least 1950 to win three games in a season after trailing by at least 17 points, according to STATS, LLC. Carolina (2-8) led 24-7 in the second quarter.

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — The winning point for Tiger Woods.

A perfect record for Jim Furyk.

And validation for U.S. captain Fred Couples.

The Americans won the Presidents Cup as a team, 19-15, avenging their worst loss ever in any cup competition 13 years ago on a Royal Melbourne course that lived up to its reputation as among the greatest tests in golf.

Yet even as they gathered around the gold trophy at the closing ceremony Sunday afternoon, all of them dressed in red shirts and blue blazers, it was hard to ignore the singular achievements.

Couples was criticized in some corners for picking Woods, who had fallen out of the top 50 for the first time in 15 years and had gone two years without winning. Even the International team captain, Greg Norman, said he would have taken PGA champion Keegan Bradley.

So perhaps it was only fitting that it was Woods who blasted out of a deep bunker on the 15th hole to within 2 feet to put away Aaron Baddeley and give the Americans the point they needed to win the

Presidents Cup. Couples was among the first to greet him, shadow boxing with the guy he called “the best player in the world forever.”

“I’m thankful that he picked me,” Woods said.

“Greg is probably not happy about it after I closed out the cup today.

But it’s great to be a part of this team. I’m thankful that Freddie believed in me to be a part of this team. This is just a great bunch of guys.”

Woods was solid for five matches, even though he was rewarded with only two points. On another tough day of strong winds and super slick greens, he made six birdies the most in any of the 12 singles matches and earned the clinching point for the second straight time.

“A lot of people have asked why I picked him and how he was going to play,” Couples said.

“Certainly I couldn’t answer how he was going to play, but this week I think he showed to himself that his swing is back and he’s healthy. And that’s more important to me. Obviously, we want to win the cup. But it’s more important for me to have people realize that he can play the game.”

focus for us.”

Baltimore took a 24-14 lead on a 2-yard run by Rice late in the third quarter. The score came after Ravens rookie cornerback Jimmy Smith picked off a pass and returned it 16 yards before fumbling. The loose ball was recovered at the Cincinnati 2 by teammate Brendon Ayanbadejo in a pile that included Winter.

The Bengals’ following possession ended with an interception by Lardarius Webb. On the next play, Torrey Smith split the Bengals’ two-deep zone

and caught a 38-yard touchdown pass in the back of the end zone to make it 31-14.

The Bengals responded with a five-play, 80yard drive capped by a 49-yard touchdown pass from Dalton to Andre Caldwell, who slipped behind Jimmy Smith down the right sideline.

But the Ravens held on, rebounding after a 2217 loss at Seattle last week. Baltimore has won 12 straight following a defeat.

“It’s good to bounce back,” Suggs said, “but let’s not take any more

steps back.”

The Bengals punted six times in the first half, two short of their season high for an entire game.

Cincinnati’s offense managed only 143 yards before halftime, 47 of those on one play.

On the Bengals’ second possession, wide receiver Jerome Simpson made a juggling catch for a 47-yard gain to set up a 7-yard touchdown run by Cedric Benson.

The Ravens didn’t get past midfield until early in the second quarter, following a 15-yard punt by Kevin Huber. Starting at

its 45, Baltimore picked up a first down before Flacco tossed a short pass to Anquan Boldin, who ran the final 20 yards for a 35-yard touchdown.

NOTES: Former Ravens kicker Matt Stover was inducted into the team’s Ring of Honor during a halftime ceremony. … Ravens LB Jarret Johnson made his 74th consecutive start, breaking the franchise record previously held by Michael McCrary and Jamie Sharper. …

Baltimore has won seven straight at home and 15 of 16.

■ National Football League

Bengals ■ CONTINUED FROM 14 everybody’s job easier,” cornerback Cary Williams said. “It’s just being able to capitalize on opportunities, and we did that today.”

Dalton went 24 for 45 with a touchdown.

Cincinnati was without standout rookie wide receiver A.J. Green, who hurt his right knee a week earlier in a loss to Pittsburgh.

But the Bengals gave Baltimore all it could handle.

“We’ve won six games to this point and we’ll win some more,” coach

Marvin Lewis said.

“We’ve just got to circle the wagons, lick our wounds and go.”

One week earlier, the Bengals came up short in rallying from a 14-0 deficit against Pittsburgh. It was more of the same against the Ravens.

“It comes down to the fourth quarter. That’s how every game’s been for us,” Dalton said.

“We’ve got to start faster.

We can’t wait around until the end of the game to pick it up, come out and get back in it. It’s definitely going to be a
